I present: New Job look for January 9, 2008! Oh, the curiousity and delight I left in my wake as I commuted to and from work.
Receiving a giant box of Rowan in the mail isn't bad either. There are some pretty serious sale prices at Jimmy Beans Wool; I got the yarn to make an Anise from New Shapes (I knew I needed to make one after I saw this one on Flikr. Wow!!! I ordered Big Wool Fusion for mine in a light grey (which I've noticed is now sold out), since the marled colors look so nice.
I'm also going to make Bark, a crochet pattern from Rowan Magazine 38 that I overlooked many times due to the overwrought nature of the photo shoot. In a shocking turn of events, I'm making it in the very colors and very yarn called for in the pattern. Rowan... per specifications!
I appreciate everyone's comments on my previous post. The design I'm working up will be available in bust sizes 30 to 54 inches, because WHY NOT. It's a simple design and a matter of simple math. I understand the difficulty of sizing up/down patterns with a lot of cables or complex colorwork, but the simpler stuff? WHY NOT. No one should have to slim down or "eat a sandwich" in order to look good in their handknits. If I had a dollar for every time I was told to eat or even offered a sandwich, well, I wouldn't be working at New Job, as Fine as it is.

The FBI is looking into the Clinton Foundation.
The foundation, run by Chappaqua residents Bill and Hillary Clinton, is being questioned by the Justice Department over whether it engaged in any pay-to-play politics while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, according to The Hill .
The FBI has interviewed one witness with more interviews planned, according to The Hill, questioning whether the Clintons promised favors in return for charitable donations.
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, said the probe was disgraceful and a distraction by Republicans.
"Let's call this what it is: a sham," Merrill said. "This is a philanthropy that does life-changing work, which Republicans have tried to turn into a political football.
"It began with a now long-debunked project spearheaded by Steve Bannon during the presidential campaign. It continues with (Attorney General) Jeff Sessions doing (President) Trump's bidding by heeding his calls to meddle with a department that is supposed to function independently."

This last week was a real shit-show in so many ways. I was especially hit hard by a series of events that highlighted the sexism in my corner of the STEM world. First, @kateclancy published a study in PLoS ONE about how many young women were sexually harassed or assaulted doing fieldwork, then a $20 million suit was filed against Vanderbilt that accused a professor of such horrible behavior that it makes me want to puke. Finally, Science magazine published a ridiculous cover image of head-less trans women, and a white d00d editor went to twitter to defend it and made it a million times more horrible. Ugh. I don't really know what to say/do. But lucky for me (and you, really), @MyTChondria sent me this guest post. I like the idea of recognizing our allies in this fight. Enjoy.
By MyTChondria:
This month has has been brutal for many people in STEM, particularly women. Stunning Supreme Court rulings pulled our reproductive rights away bit by bit. This last week the horrors hit close to our jobs as allegations of horrific acts of sexual harassment against trainees, publication of data of the startling numbers of female field scientists who have been harassed and assaulted on work sites, and blundering non-pologies of Science as they depersonalized the tragedy of transgender sex workers.
I'm exhausted by the fact Henry Gee still works at Nature, that we live in a society where males sing Robin Thicke lyrics about 'you know you want it' and every part of #YesAllWomen resonates with me.
Men came by my office making light of these events. When I told them I was sad and these things hurt me and my friends, they squirmed but didn't listen. They were either convinced simply bringing these things to light would help or that people were making mountains out of mole hills.
It was all I could do to keep from crying. And I don't fuckken cry. This was the first week I really seriously considered leaving science. I thought I couldn't look at my graduate students and fellows (all of whom are women) and tell them STEM is a healthy field. I'm not depressed, I'm sad. And it crystalized as @MGHydro tweeted exasperation that nothing seemed to be changing. Were we just documenting history or actually going to do something about it?
Friday night I huddled up with Mini ate some pizza and watched The Butler (she is obsessed with history and social justice). She watched the movie intently while white actors sat by blacks actors graphically reenacted the violence students were subjected to at Civil rights protests. I paused to see if it was too much for her and asked her why she thought the white students sat taking this abuse with their black friends. The real life photos of their injuries were horrific.
With the confidence that only a 10 year old can have, she said "Of course they had to sit there with them. You can't live in a world where people you know aren't being treated fairly by bullies. Even if it means you have to get beat up along side your friends. It's the right thing to do". With the help of wine and a nice fleece blanket, I thought about this over the next few hours, and found myself with a foothold to help me face next week with a sense of hope.
Many of my male Tweeps have called out sexism, thought deeply and fought hard for gender equality. They give me hope I'm not insane and alone. They help me believe there is not some fundamental and insurmountable difference in how men think women. I appreciate their voices cheering for me me when I'm doing the right thing even if I want to puke while it's happening. I delight in these men who have the wherewithal to tell sexist men to STFU in their blogs, tweets and IRL.
I have no cookies to give. I'm not that kind of person. I also know would stab me if it looked like I was doing it (they would also stab a dude, so I feel okay with this). For all these things I am grateful.
Many of my female friends have similar stories of men who kicked other dudes in social media who impress and encourage them. So, I invite my female tweeps to share the hashtag #ThxSTEMMen with the names of a man or men who have helped you in your gender equality struggles.
@SciTriGrrl will Storify it and we can hopefully connect up other women with the merry band of misfits who champion women's rights.

ARVC Campgrounds Supporting Cancer Ride
May 13, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on ARVC Campgrounds Supporting Cancer Ride
More than 30 campgrounds, RV parks and resorts affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) are providing free campsites and cabin accommodations to help support Andrew Ratzlaff, a 27-year-old New York City man who is bicycling across the country to raise awareness about lymphoma, a form of cancer, according to a news release.
"We think it's the right thing to do," said ARVC President and CEO Linda Profaizer, adding that Kera Tomlin, ARVC's marketing and communications director, along with Jeanette Stensgaard, marketing and communications specialist, have been contacting parks along Andrew's route to coordinate his overnight stays.
Andrew began his 4,400-mile cross-country bike ride on Mother's Day and expects to reach San Francisco sometime in mid-July. He spent his first night in a rental unit at Pleasant Acres Farm Campground in Sussex County, N.J.
"We always try to help out where we can, and this is an easy thing for us to do," Pleasant Acres Farm Campground owner Richard Denman told the New Jersey Herald in a story published earlier this week.
Barb Wieand, who owns WT Family Camping in Blakeslee, Penn., said she planned to greet with Andrew with a hot meal upon his arrival on May 11, adding that the area was expecting a late freeze based on local radio reports.
Even parks that are not directly on Andrew's path have responded to his call for support for the Lymphoma Research Foundation.
Two California parks, Novoto RV Park in Novato and Vineyard RV Park in Vacaville, are each donating $2 to the Lymphoma Research Foundation for every night's stay paid by their overnight guests during the month of May. "We feel very strongly about LRF's mission and felt this was the best way for us to support Andrew's ride given that we could not provide him accommodations at either of our parks," said park owner Meaghan Bertram.
Andrew, for his part, is a fine-arts major who fell in love with bicycling while studying for his degree at the University of Colorado at Boulder, one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. And before embarking on his cross-country trip, he was biking to work every day — in his case, from an apartment in Manhattan's Upper East Side to Rockefeller Center, where he works as a freelance video editor for a local television station.
In many respects, Andrew has been living his dream, biking to work each day in the biggest television market in the country. But he's also confident enough to take several weeks off work to raise awareness and support for the Lymphoma Research Foundation.
"I just found out the Lymphoma Research Foundation recently," he said, adding that he lost his father to lymphoma 10 years ago while he was a senior in high school.
In addition to funding research to develop better treatment options and ultimately a cure for lymphoma, the foundation provides a helpline and national support network that connects patients and families with volunteers that have experience with the same type of lymphoma as well as the various treatments and challenges associated with lymphoma, a form of blood cancer that can develop in the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow and other body organs.
Andrew said his family would have taken advantage of the Lymphoma Research Foundation's services 10 years ago if they had known they existed. "In nine months, we watched my Dad basically fall apart," he said. "That was the hardest thing for me and my family."
But Andrew said he is impressed with the work the foundation has done and the support its volunteers provide to families with loved ones who are suffering from lymphoma.
"After doing some research and talking with them, I found them to be a valuable organization that I am proud to support and discuss," Andrew said, adding that more people could benefit from the foundation's work if it were better known and had more funding. "So I'm doing my part to help them," he said.
To follow Andrew's route, please visit www.GoCampingAmerica.com, which has a section devoted to his trip that highlights some of the campgrounds he will be visiting along his journey as well as his blog site at www.arideagainstlymphoma.blogspot.com.

I agree with a lot of what Last Sinner wrote.
I think that part of the issue is a common desire for viewer comments on a show to be overwhelmingly, if not entirely, positive.
I often see posts like "What is with all the hate this show is getting?!". Then I'll go back over the last page or two of the series thread or episode thread for that show, and I might see one blunt (but short) very critical post, and a couple more mildly critical posts, but the solid majority of posts being complimentary or even praising of the show. If a show is getting 60 to 70% praise, and maybe 20% critique, is that really such a big deal? Does that really constitute "a lot of hate"? If you're a big fan of the show there's still plenty of people agreeing with you, so I can't see why more people can't just let some of the less complimentary feedback slide.
Honestly, even for shows I love (like Madoka Magica), I like seeing at least some diversity of opinion on the show since that makes for better series discussion, imo. So even for shows I love, all-praise all-the-time is very boring to me.
I think that if more people could just accept that every show is going to have at least a few critics, and that's no big deal, then discussion here would be a bit better (it's usually very good as it is, in fairness).
I will say that on some shows I'm leery of giving even mildly critical feedback because that seems to create contentious tangents, or even mild flamewars.
I honestly wonder where this seeming expectation of all-praise all-the-time is coming from. Obviously, most if not all people here are watching shows in the hopes of enjoying them. But hope doesn't always become reality, and so people will sometimes be disappointed in a show that they watched.
People here almost always want to like the shows that they watch. So when they make critical points it's not to pick on the fans (at least not usually), but it's rather to simply express their dissatisfaction and what caused it.
I don't see why that alone should be a problem, although for some shows, it does appear to be.

Yeah totally agree guys, I mean look @ the early Gundam AGE episode threads! People who didn't like it were "told" to leave the threads by people who were posting for it, lol! I mean what's the point of discussion when you only want to hear one thing?

I've never really understood why people repeatedly watch a show that they claim not to like. Why not just stop watching it? The only reason I can see is to gather material for yet another critical post in the series thread. Then again, I never watch more than a handful of shows in any season; I find the vast bulk of contemporary anime generic and not worth my time. The discussion threads for the types of shows I do watch (currently Sakamichi no Apollon, Tsuritama, and Uchuu Kyoudai) rarely if ever generate the sorts of vitriolic postings I see in threads for shows like Madoka. The shows I watch generally attract the older members here whose self-esteem does not depend on abusing others from behind an anonymous Internet identity.
I've found that manga readers can be especially annoying when the anime adaptation doesn't live up to their standards, whatever those might be. I stopped following threads for shows like Claymore for exactly that reason.
Also there is that "Report Post" button (the icon with the exclamation point) on each and every posting. If you think someone is being abusive, report him or her to the moderators. That's why the "Report Post" button is there.

I haven't encountered this problem a lot since I don't frequent weekly discussion threads that often, but it's cropped up with surprising frequency when I have.
I've long argued that anime fans need to watch their public behaviour because it can reflect on the fandom as a whole. Well, that applies to interactions with other factions within the anime fandom too. I for one prefer not to represent fans of the shows I like as insular, thin skinned, and fanatical.
I for one have no trouble telling what the intent behind replying "if you don't like the show then stop watching" or "what's with all the hate" to every negative critique of a show is. It's intended to harass the opposition into submission and has no place in legitimate discussion.
The mods here have often punished critics for rant-ish or repetitious posts that are insulting or provocative to fans. It's time for the other shoe to drop.
They'll just go to PM? Sure, but it's no longer public. And there's a forward button.

The iDOL(ove Live!)M@STER
Last Sinner, I really dont think the problem of people on AnimeSuki trending toward positive discussions has increased in quantity as much as you have said. Before even seeing this as an issue, you have to recognize that the instances of bad behavior revolving around the series detractors and supporters are generally limited to a small part of the audience and the experience regarding criticisms and the responses toward it are not ubiquitous.
Its only really a small part of the audience that engages in bad behavior regarding criticisms toward a show. Most people usually dont care enough about their favorite anime being attacked to the point where theyll retaliate as a response to said detraction toward the work. However, you then reach that small percentage of people who dont handle negative comments about a show they like very wellI would know as I was one of themand then the discussion about the series can quickly become hostile. The lack of judgment to formulate a proper reply toward a shows detraction becomes further exacerbated by the fact that there exists that other percentage of people who really do post on a shows dedicated forum or thread with the sole intention of irritating its fans. The situation becomes worse still because, as Ive unfortunately observed, the trollish attackers can become very subtle while the fanatics tend to remain conspicuous and it leads the latter group of people to be singled out while the former group of people play the role of innocent victim. However, despite how severe all of the aforementioned seems to be its only a small percentage of people involved in the hostilities; on average, AnimeSuki has around 150 members logged in at a time and if even a third of those users were involved in the entirety of the positivism fiasco then the site would be much worse. The small group of people that misbehave tend to get noticed a lot more than the mild-mannered citizens.
Likewise, hostile responses toward someone who makes negative comments about a show or even any part of the series are not ubiquitous. Out of all the shows Ive ever criticized on its sub-forum or thread, none of them were met with any extreme retaliation, some sparked more curiosity than anything else, while others were received quite well. The only response resemblingand Im using resembling very loosely herean attack to a negative comment I made was at, of all places, the Fate/Zero forums. Maybe its just our difference in luck but I have yet to experience any crap from fans whose shows I criticized. Even if one person gets reprimanded for criticizing a work this doesnt necessarily mean the other person who criticizes a show will be told to GTFO as well.
Im not going to deny the advocacy for positivism can make for stagnant discussion but its not as numerous as you present it to be. Noticeable yes but not numerous; for example, if I throw a fishing net and catch a three-headed eel then whats my conclusion? Do all eels have three heads or did I just happen to find a three-headed eel? Likewise, I dont find the more adamant fans of a show to be entirely at fault concerning the issue either. My only suggestion for this problem is to take a step back and realize that vocal minorities are vocal.

Whoa, it's that bad?
I can't say I'm absolutely innocent in what the OP accuses, but this is the internet, and there is the whole "elitist" gang who hates for the sake of hating. And after a while, you become sensitive to any provocative word. I'd say this whole "I'm right therefore you're wrong" thing originates from them, not the fandom. The fandom is only reacting, and in turn, you and all other good men are caught in their backlash.

It's pretty difficult to make a rule in which both sides (critics and fans) have to agree on without one side getting the short end of the stick.
You can't make a new rule that says something like this : "People are not allowed to criticize negative experiences from an anime". Because the fans also have the right to say why they think why the critic is wrong.
Like in a real life debate or discussions , both sides can present arguments and counter arguments. If one side can't fairly present his opinion/statement then the whole debate/discussion is pointless.
Of course not everyone will react to the criticisms in a civil way, but if it goes to far you can report that person for insults or harrasement.
You are somewhat sounding like the "Petition:Ban negative Utopian views" suggestion thread from a few months ago but instead of targeting the critics, you are targeting the fans.

And yeah regarding the thread topic itself, this sort of attitude is pretty terrible, but thankfully I don't see it around here all that much and when I do I'm quick to point it out. If people can make a post and back up their claims and not be a total asshole about it and generalize their opinion like it's the only possible one then I have literally no problem with people disagreeing with me on something.
By the way I don't agree with Last Sinner on much most of the time, but bro, I totally sympathize with you when it come to this issue and those specific topics/threads/shows/fans. Those are some tough TOUGH threads to not hold the majority opinion on and expect to feel welcomed in the thread. As Zac Bertschy of ANN once described (I know a lot of people dislike him, but I find him to be on point a lot of the time) in those cases it's like a deep partisanship and unless you exactly parrot what the majority holds to be those shows specific qualities you're almost guaranteed to get an earful.

I do think the phenomenon described by last sinner exists but however is limited to shows that involve a massive fanbase (in the exemples you gave there's SHAFT,type moon,kyoani) where people get emotionally attached.
Whereas on less high profile shows I think people might not be so attached and therefore more open to critism.

I suppose if I watched Hyouka, I would post in that discussion thread, and I would have said people ought to be treated civilly that post contrary opinions to what the majority says, and the point of series discussion thread is to have meaningful dialogue, and part of any good discussion is allowing for differing viewpoints.
And I can also fanboy myself for Sakamichi no Apollon, or Uchuu Kyoudai or Haiyore! Nyaruko-san but I always respect the opinions of those critical of the shows I love.

I mean you came in and basicly said "I did not watch Madoka, but...". Some people can't resist if handed such an opportunity on a plate...
The whole subforum/specific series thread thing tends to create an athmosphere that says 'fans only'. This came up in feedback before.
Of course that is not correct, but it seems to be the idea most fans get from having 'their own' thread.
If you tresspass on fan territory they will attack.
Most of these threads are a mystery to me anyways.
What are they discussing in there? You watch the series and that usually stands for it's own.
There is not much to discuss, unless you did not understand some parts and need to ask for advise.
Unless there is a meta discussion going on, I feel unable to make any use of these threads.
Worse if the series is based on manga source material, in which case anything specific gets dominated by people who make suspiciously accurate predictions about the future plotline...

I don't think it should be any surprise that AnimeSuki folks can be touchy sometimes, humans are hormonal, irritable creatures that constantly grate on each other's nerves (which is why there's often some sort of conflict at family get-togethers or any other large gathering, and part of why school is such a worthless shithole during middle school and high), people have probably been getting bitchy with each other over stories since the beginning of fiction, the human race might be better off if we all just stuck to one-on-one interaction

Have some salt
Actually, the Fate/Zero threads were relatively fine, and Madoka threads were actually really not that horrific either although there was a lot of debate about the anime itself, which is the whole point. I guess there was one set of major hiccups.
However, it varies from topic to topic, and there are definitely certain subforums where I would recommend gathering all the sub tanks and heart tanks before going in. In general, it's a bit dicey to voice a negative opinion in series with established fanbases, and adaptations increase the difficulty quite a bit, since people will pull it out as some kind of bible.
But that's not really the problem. It goes both ways. If someone spams the same thing about why a show sucks every week, then they really have no reason to be here. But at the same time, people need to understand that a lot of people don't hate shows or like shows wholesale. There's a bunch of 5-7/10 rating people that watch it because they have something to gain from watching it, and don't like other things. The constant barrage of strawman insults from either side is no good, either saying people who don't like the show have no taste or elitists, or saying people who like the show shouldn't be liking this kind of garbage doesn't provoke good discussion. Also people like or dislike something for a different reason so camps are stupid.
Unfortunately this is a nature of online discussion and besides hitting the report button to over the top posts there's not that much that can be done unless you want to change the mentality.

Honestly, what you're describing has been going on for far longer than you think. Even in 2008, you had stuff like that happening. In fact, I would say that the general mood in the Hyouka thread is a lot more tolerant than the Clannad subforum back in 2008.

|Effects of Fixed or Self-Titrated Dosages of Sativex on Cannabis Users
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to to demonstrate the feasibility and tolerability of the use of Sativex in cannabis dependent individuals and to assess the effects of fixed or self titrated dosages of SATIVEX® (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol /cannabidiol combination in a buccal spray) on withdrawal symptoms, craving scores and cannabis consumption during the study period.
|Detailed Description
|This will be a one year pilot/feasibility study, assessing the effects of fixed or self-titrated dosages of SATIVEX® (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol /cannabidiol combination in a buccal spray) on withdrawal from cannabis and craving among cannabis dependent subjects. Subjects in this study will undergo an 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects will be regular cannabis-users who are not currently seeking treatment for cannabis dependence. Subjects will participate in each of 8 conditions, lasting 5 weekdays each (an ABACADAE study design); four smoke as usual conditions (SAU) and four cannabis abstinence conditions. During each abstinence condition (B, C, D, E conditions), subjects will be allocated to one condition including self-titration of placebo, fixed dose of placebo, self-titration of SATIVEX (up to a max of 40 sprays per day, equal to 108mg THC) or fixed dose of SATIVEX (40 sprays per day). Each medication phase will be followed by a washout period where individuals will be requested to smoke cannabis as usual (A condition). The experimental conditions will be: type of SATIVEX® spray used (active vs placebo), and titration regimen (fixed or self-titrated). This pilot study will allow us to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach and to determine the sample size to use secondarily for a larger study. Our ultimate goal is to determine optimal conditions to use for a subsequent randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of SATIVEX® in treatment of Cannabis dependence among treatment-seeking subjects.

By Lydia Lawrence
It was nearly 2:30 in the afternoon when I arrived at Miss MAK Designs; a quaint boutique on
St-Laurent Boulevard, where I was to be awarded a guided tour of the renowned family-owned handbag manufacturer, H&V Leather Goods. The company was founded in Lebanon in 1967 by two Armenian brothers, Harout and Vartan Keverian. However, the increasing chaos brought on by the Lebanese Civil War urged Harout to immigrate to Canada in 1989 along with his wife and two young children.Harout and his family settled in Montreal in 1990, where he resumed the business of handcrafted luxury goods. Since then, Harout and his wife, Arsho have undertaken the task of promoting Due Fratelli, an exclusive brand renowned for its flawless quality and timeless designs.
The tour was to be given by their daughter Mary-Ann, a childhood friend of mine, who at the age of twenty, single handedly launched her own brand of handbags which she aptly named "Miss MAK," an acronym of her full name. At twenty-eight years of age, she is already considered to be one of the most revered women in the industry, and her customers are as much in love with her as they are with her designs.
The buzzer went off as I opened the door and walked into the sun filled store, where I was instantly surrounded by walls lined with multicolored leather purses and accessories.
"Hello?" said a voice from the back.
I turned a corner and found mother and daughter seated gracefully at their desks. They both rose to greet me with warm hugs and kisses. They were both busy, I knew, taking note of the pile of hastily drawn sketches of germinating designs on Mary-Ann's desk and the flood of emails blinking on her computer screen. Remarkably, her façade of cool sophistication is genuine. I couldn't help but look her over, taking note of her perfectly groomed thick main of shiny chestnut hair that fell around her shoulders and down her back, the bold jewelry at her hands, her trim pants and designer top and the funky zebra print flats at her feet. In that moment, I concluded that Mary-Ann's position as a creative designer was not only a title she assumed, rather she was a personification of her brand; versatile, bold and innovative.
"Do you want to have lunch now?" she asked, "or would you rather we have the tour first?"
"The tour," I replied, full of curiosity.
"This way, darling," she said, motioning to me with her manicured fingers.
I had never been inside a factory before, and I was taken aback by the foreign environment. It was an organized mess, with heaps of fabric clumped together between heavy machinery and assembly tables, but watching her smoothly navigate me across the threshold I could sense she was in her element. I knew close to nothing about handbag manufacturing and had neglected to do any research prior to my visit. As I was about to find out, bringing a handbag or a purse to life was a deeply involved process.
It all begins with a sketch, which a skilled pattern maker will use to create a paper model of it out of cardboard. Before this can be done however, the materials and colors must be chosen. We walked over to table strewn with identical square pieces of plastic-covered-material. Mary-Ann picked one up and removed the plastic, revealing a soft matt of baby-ostrich-printed leather with a base of blue suede.
"So, what we do," she said, "is we get the suede and then we get the foils from Italy. This allows for many options. So the material can either be baby ostrich, calfskin, cowhide or even a boa finish." She guided me to the assembly table next.
"These are the assemblers," she said, making the introductions. "What they will do is assemble the leather cutouts and stitch them all together. Once that's done, it will go to the hardware section where the handles, zippers, pockets and any other accessories will be added. The next stage is the finishing," she said, pointing to another table. "That's when each product is checked for defects and then boxed and shipped." She was making it all sound so easy, but I knew it was far from the truth.
I followed her back to the entrance of the factory and she led me back down the hall to the showroom. I walked into a bright rectangular room lined with samples of both the Due Fratelli and Miss MAK brands.
"The showroom is where I work with the retailers," she explained.
"So, how do you do it?" I asked. "You draw these, make samples and then sell it?"
"Exactly," she replied. "I spent over three months on a collection for one of our current clients. All my products are guaranteed for life, so if ever a client has a damaged product and they send it back to me ten years later, I will still repair it." I stared at her, amazed.
"And they are all light weight," she said. "Go to any other well known brand, such as Michael Kors, Fendi, Chanel…these are some of the heaviest bags on the market. A woman should not carry more than ten percent of her body weight," she added. Unconsciously, I reached up and adjusted my overstuffed shoulder bag.
"Miss MAK designs is also a very functional and versatile brand," she said, holding up a cross-body purse which she easily converted into clutch and then into a belt bag.
"Due Fratelli has more classic shapes," she said, walking over to her father's side of the collection. "The bags all have clean lines and many are designer inspired shapes but modernized," she said, holding up a classic Grace Kelly purse.
"One of our signature Due Fratelli bags is this clutch," she said, picking up a caramel toned hand bag from off the shelf. "It converts into a hand bag and then it converts into a shoulder bag. It's a three in one; a day to night. So you can carry this with you during the day and at night you don't have to change your purse, all you have to do is fold it over."
"Did your father invent that?" I asked, stupefied.
"Yes," she replied, very matter-of-factly.
"That is incredible!" I exclaimed, genuinely impressed.
"Well, that's my story darling. The one-and-only-MAK. Shall we do lunch now? I know this fabulous place in little Italy that you are just going to love."
We walked back to her desk where she gathered her purse and keys and then we went out the back entrance of the factory. As we walked through the parking lot, we passed by a large graffiti mural and she stopped to study it with a twinkle in her eye. A new idea was being born. We reached her car; a polished white BMW, and we climbed in. There was a pile of fresh sketches and notes next to her seat and she glanced at them briefly as she started the engine.
"What do you think of a purse that has GPS tracking?" she asked, with a smile. I turned to face her and began to laugh. What a girl!

Wichita Falls professor tapped for Piper nominee
PLAINVIEW – Dr. Jeffery Tillman, professor of religion and graduate director at the Wayland Baptist University campus in Wichita Falls, has been chosen as the university's nominee for the Piper Professor Award recognizing dedication in teaching and outstanding academic, scientific and scholarly achievement.
The nomination puts Tillman in the running with candidates from other two- and four-year colleges and universities for award consideration by the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation. The foundation chooses 15 professors from the field of nominees, each of whom receives a certificate, a $5,000 honorarium and a pin.
Tillman was nominated by Wichita Falls campus dean Dr. Elane Seebo and selected by Wayland's Professional Affairs Committee. He has been employed with Wayland since 1996 as professor and now directs the graduate program for Wichita Falls as well.
Dr. Bobby Hall, vice president for academic and graduate services at Wayland, praised the committee's choice of Tillman.
"Dr. Tillman is an excellent selection as Wayland's nominee for the Piper Award. He has a long record of excellence in the classroom, and has also devoted many hours to assisting our students outside the classroom," Hall said. "Dr. Tillman's dedication to Wayland's mission and commitment to his campus and students are reflective of the vital role played by full-time faculty across the Wayland system. We congratulate him for this prestigious recognition by his peers of his accomplishments both in his profession and at Wayland Baptist University."
Tillman holds a bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary as well as a doctorate and a master's degree from Baylor University.

Since I just finished writing about Theophilus and Martha France, I thought I would write about the other sibling whose photo also appeared in the collection mentioned. As I wrote about before, I was able to scan a stash of photos that belonged to my Great Grandmother, whose father, Herbert Coley, was a brother to George and Martha. I have yet to write his history.
I have never been able to track down members of the family of George and Caroline, although plenty of people have told me where to find them. Each lead has come up short. Like other photos, I will write what I know and hope someone may come to me.
George Harry Coley was born 16 Apr 1868 in Lutley, Worcestershire, England to Stephen and Hannah Maria Rogers Coley. As I will write about later, there the family joined the LDS church, George joined 22 August 1881. The family immigrated in 1890 to Zion and settled in Lewiston, Cache, Utah.
George, who went by Harry, had not been in Utah long when he met Caroline Wilson. She was born 11 February 1871 in Bishop Auckland, Durham, England.
George and Caroline were married in LDS Temple in Logan, Cache, Utah on 23 November 1892. To their marriage were born 12 children.
Myrtle Coley born 8 September 1893 and died 20 September 1894, both in Lewiston.
Wallace W Coley born 28 August 1894 in Franklin, Franklin, Idaho and died 21 June 1895 in Lewiston.
Melvin Harris Coley born 16 September 1895 in Lewiston and died 25 November 1940 in Rupert, Minidoka, Idaho. He married Orlean Dopp.
Lucilla Coley born 17 Dec 1897 and died 4 May 1993, both in Lewiston. She married Cethel Jay Van Orden.
Rosella Coley born 24 January 1899 in Lewiston and died 3 August 1971 in Nampa, Canyon, Idaho. She married Lloyd Rawlins Hogan and Milton Rawlins.
Lloyd Goldsbrough Coley born 30 Mar 1900 in Lewiston and died 15 February 1965 in Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho. He married Verna Dorothy Shipley and Opal Jenkins.
Gretta Coley born 1 August 1901 in Lewiston and died 15 April 1990 in Shasta County, California. She married Stanley Alexander Picot.
Edith Coley born 25 September 1902 in Lewiston and died 19 December 1954. I do not know where she died. She married Golden Keith Cunningham (who lived to 100).
Stewart Leroy Coley born 30 January 1904 and died 28 December 1982 in Lewiston. He married Lola Margaret Richardson.
Ethel May Coley born 12 May 1905 in Lewiston and died 15 November 1987 in Calaveras County, California. She married Harry Fisher Croshaw.
Thelma Coley born 30 June 1909 and died 16 May 1912, both in Lewiston.
Keith Coley born 2 April 1913 in Lewiston and died 24 November 1961. I do not know where he died or if he married.
George Harry died 16 April 1933 in Lewiston at 65 years old. Caroline died 22 July 1958 in Lewiston at 87. Many of the family are buried in the Lewiston Cemetery.

Feb. 7, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Katherine Thornton was named the Division III Female National Collegiate Swimmer-of-the-Week on Wednesday for her performances spanning the week of January 29-February 5. She was selected for the honor by a panel of collegiate coaches after being nominated by coaches, sports information directors, conference representatives and CollegeSwimming.com staffers.
The El Cajon, Calif., native did not disappoint the fans in attendance at this past weekend's MIT Invitational, which served as her final meet in the Zesiger Pool as a member of the Cardinal and Gray. She displayed why she will be so heavily missed by the Engineers next season by posting a winning time of 17:29.11 in the 1650-yard freestyle on Friday night, over 16 seconds faster than her next closest competitor. She is now ranked fourth in the nation in the event. Thornton then returned to the water on Saturday afternoon to place second in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:12.75, just a shade over four seconds off the NCAA "B" cut.
Head coach Dawn Gerken was delighted that Thornton was recognized on the national stage for her accomplishments.
"Kate's performance in the 1650 this past weekend was a result of her incredibly intense work ethic and consistent training this season," she said. "Not only is Kate an amazing distance freestyler, but she is also one of our top relay swimmers and a true leader on our women's team."
Thornton will guide the eager Engineers into the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship, which will take place from Friday, Feb. 16-Sunday, Feb. 18, and will be hosted by Wellesley College.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 12, 2012) – The ETSU baseball team opened its fall season, and during the upcoming weeks head coach Tony Skole will sit down with the ETSU athletic media relations staff for question-and-answer sessions to let the fans know how the team is doing.
Below is the first Q&A session with Coach Skole…
What were your overall feelings of the scrimmages this weekend?
It was very enjoyable to see our ball club for the first time in a game atmosphere. Being able to evaluate our returning players and see the improvements they made over the summer was very encouraging. Also, being able to put eyes on our new players and see them compete at this level for the first time was very exciting. This team is developing great chemistry and these kids really have great passion for our baseball program. It has been exciting every day we have been able to coach them.
What was the one thing that surprised you most?
I think if you just step back and look with the naked eye, the first thing that stands out is the "physical-ness" of our ball club. Even though we have a good number of new players, this year's team will have more size and team speed than we have had in recent years. Also, I thought the scrimmage was very clean. For the most part, we made the routine plays and threw a lot of strikes. Our hitters were a little behind, but that was to be expected. I thought we ran the bases very aggressively.
How have the new guys been adapting to the team over the first weekend?
We have 18 new faces and they have been great at getting acclimated to their new environment and surroundings. Coach Barksdale, Coach Bunn, and Coach Landreth did a phenomenal job of putting this recruiting class together. It's no secret we weren't very good last season and we needed to address some personnel issues. From day one these guys have been fun to coach and their attitudes have been great. All you have to do is ask the returning players about the new guys and their faces light up. We are all excited about the future.
What are you looking to see improvement on during the scrimmages this upcoming weekend?
Basically, we want to be better this weekend than we were last weekend. That is our goal – to get a little better each and every day. We are throwing a lot of information at our guys right now and I'm anxious to see if our players can begin to process this information. If they (mostly our new players) can begin to do this, the game will begin to slow down for them and they will be able to play more relaxed. From a general standpoint, as always, we want to continue to play with great tempo, while throwing strikes, making the routine plays, and getting some timely hits.

Naruto's jutsu is like a sticky jutsu that acts like a time-bomb. It is like once you get caught by the jutsu, you cannot escape the deadly ending...
And it gave us a glimpse of what the full version can do, Naruto can be able to throw it, cause, he is not needed to preserve it until the last moment.

Okay everything's clear now. Kakuzu wasn't launched into the air. He was attacked in mid-air and then fell down into the crater created by the Rasengan. It's pretty impressive how a Futon Rasengan detonating many feet in the air can still have enough force to make a crater several meters in the ground. The jutsu seems to work closest to how Ero-Senn1n described

Ghey! Nothing too spectacular. So again we go back to the question, what changed in Naruto? We've seen that soo many times where he tricks the opponent into attacking his clone thinking it's the real him then he surprises him. I don't think this will work on Sauske since he could probably see through his trick and he's too fast to be hit by that attack. Ofcourse the attack was pretty powerful and impresive and I guess Naruto did not get caught in the explosion but rather, was exhausted.

The attack is indeed spectacular. I'm not sure how it works, it seems the Wind Shurinken part is used to project the target away for a while until the Wind Rasengan explodes in a first blast. The Wind waves then come back toward the target to finish it.
On the other hand I was affraid that Naruto connecting with Kakuzu would happen that way. Kakuzu presented as a cunning ninja with tremendous experience... Felt for the easiest KB trick in the book.
Not only that but the guy who uses large elemental AOE attack as main offense and can separate his hearts so he wouldn't be killed by one single powerful attack suddenly stop using these abilities when Naruto appears.
Kishimoto makes good vilains but I would prefer to see them killed because the heros were smarter rather than the vilain becoming suddenly dumb.
Bleh enough whinning

Is Kakazu is really dead, I would be majorly disappointed; especially reading this summary. Like hunter said, I am amazed as how retarded villians will become for no logical reason.
I was hoping that Naruto seems to obtain some good speed, but it looks like he didn't after all but instead trick his opponents using the mass number of clones and general assumptions they would make ('Ahh that must be the original because he is using the jutsu!').
In either case, this clearly now puts Naruto officially above Kakashi and company which by defaults (knowing how these series go) means that Sasuke himself should be powerful enough to take on Akatsuki members on his own. This series of defeat is also shaping up the strength of the relevant Akatsuki members too.
I suspect it is going to reach a point soon where Itachi (and maybe Kisame) will be given an opportunity to show his true strength.

Haha what a weird attack....i doubt Shika/Sakura/Sai didnt heard the huge explosion...anyway this is definetly not an attack Naruto should use for practice (on teammates) and especially not when they are close to him.
Anyway Yamato....what has changed about Naruto? (He would've been a completly new person....yeah right...)
I'd be disappointed if Kakuzu suddenly still is alive after that attack and i doubt Zetsu will suddenly start to attack them solo.
Probably the troops will go back to Konoha to report....and then suddenly new clues about Sasuke. And now come to think of it.
If Akatsuki attacks Konoha then they will die...it seems like the main characters are more then enough.

Kakuzu didn't use elemental attack because the first thing that happened to him when Naruto and Yamato stepped in was that his combined elemental attack (of the remaining two masks) was destroyed by Naruto and Yamato combined attack.
After that Kakuzu used his elemental attacks again, destroying two clones, and thus wasting his chakra on mere clones. And remember that there are 4 more ninja to defeat, so he cannot allow to waste chakra on mere clones. Also Naruto's attack failed too, so Kakuzu didn't expect something like this would happen, and as we saw in this chapter not even Kakashi expected something powerful like this. So why use something that has already failed, Kakuzu simply switched to another method, which is probably his basic attack method, because the masks represent people who were defeated by Kakuzu, so they and their elemental attacks should not be Kakuzu's strongest power.
The trick was effective because a mere clone was using a super-jutsu, who would expect that? It's like Itachi making a clone and then the clone uses Tsukiyomi/Amatreasu on someone. When someone uses his ultimate jutsu he is supposed to be the real one. I remember only one legendary ninja (including kage level) who made his clone use his super-ultimate jutsu: Yondaime using his teleport jutsu with 50 clones. But nobody made a trick using his ultimate jutsu.

Kakuzu went all out on the Naruto clone with the rasenshuriken. He didn't had time to react cause he was in midair countering the bunshin attack while going for the clone with rasenshuriken.
The other clones that did the initial attack reformed the rasenshuriken behind Kakuzu.
so meh.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The news wasn't the best, but it was good enough for injured LA Galaxy center back A.J. DeLaGarza.
DeLaGarza underwent a scan on Monday before the club's appearance at the Time Warner Cable Sports Net launch (more on this later this afternoon) and while DeLaGarza was reluctant to provide any specifics on the injury-- the team should issue a formal announcement sometime on Tuesday--, he stated that he is targeting a playoff return.
The 24-year-old picked up the injury, which was preliminarily diagnosed as a knee sprain--television analyst Marcelo Balboa described an medial collateral ligament issue during the match telecast -- in the 30th minute of LA's 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids when he suffered a hard collision with Jamaican forward Omar Cummings.
DeLaGarza caught up with reporters on the red carpet of the Time Warner event and offered his thoughts on the injury...
DELAGARZA: "I'll be out a little bit. [A playoff return] is my goal right now."
(On what he felt during the injury...)
DELAGARZA: "I never felt anything like that, I'm used to having bone bruises so I could tell that it wasn't a bone bruise. But we have the best medical staff so I think that I'll be fine."
(On whether he'll require surgery...)
DELAGARZA: "No, no surgery, but I'll miss a few games."
(On how he braced himself for learning the diagnosis...)
DELAGARZA: "I expected the worst, but hoped for the best. I'm glad that I'm not missing a couple months or I have to have surgery so it's positive, but at the same time, it's the end of the season and you want to be in there with the guys and especially in these last three games which are crucial."
(On whether the diagnosis was what he wanted to hear...)
DELAGARZA: "I knew I was hurt. I didn't know how bad. I didn't think it was something little, but I didn't think it was something major. I prayed that it wasn't something major. To miss a month or so, I'll take it. I think the playoffs start in early November. That's my goal for right now."
(On what was running through DeLaGarza's head on Sunday evening...)
DELAGARZA: "Just the pain...I was just thinking about it the what if's...I was up at 4:30am tweeting and playing Words with Friends and Scrabble with Friends. Just waiting to go to the doctors."
(On his teammates reaction to the scan...)
DELAGARZA: "It was all positive. It could have been a lot worse, but it wasn't."
(On whether his absence will alter LA's defensive chemistry...)
DELAGARZA: "We have a lot of depth, we've got David [Junior Lopes], [Bryan] Gaul, Tommy [Meyer] and [Andrew] Boyens who are all experienced and have all played this year. And Boyens, he's a veteran in this league, David's a veteran, Gaul has got some minutes at centerback this year so I don't think we're going to have any letdowns. Especially the way that everyone is playing in front of us."

WHITE BIRD — A girl for whom the White Bird Rodeo was her first rodeo, Dakota Matson, 16, of Nezperce, was crowned queen of the 25th Annual White Bird Rodeo last Saturday, March 22. Daughter of committee members Delbert and Dee Matson, she always helps "get ready for the rodeo and other functions at the rodeo grounds," she wrote.
A freshman at Nezperce High School, Mattson is involved in volleyball, horse 4-H and FFA steer project. She also enjoys fishing, camping, hunting, horseback riding, drawing and baking.
"I enjoy the community of White Bird and they always make me feel welcome," she said. "I have helped with this rodeo and they are like a second family to me."
She is a former princess of the Cottonwood Riding Club and a former Riggins Rodeo princess (2013).
Outgoing White Bird Rodeo queen Hannah Ross set the pattern for the tryout last Saturday. Matson was the only entrant; organizers said many up and coming area girls were simply too young to enter this year.

Eli Forward Picked by CHN
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Sean Backman, a senior member of the Yale men's hockey team, has been named to the College Hockey News (CHN) 2008-09 Pre-Season All-America squad.
Backman, named to the second team, is one of three ECAC Hockey selections on the CHN team. He was second-team All-ECAC last year after leading his team with 20 goals. Backman, a forward, tallied the team's lone hat trick in a 5-0 win over Cornell that gave the Blue the ECAC Hockey Tournament Title and its leading scorer the tournament MVP.
Backman's 56 goals are ninth on the Yale career list.
The Bulldogs, who won both ECAC Hockey Championships and the Ivy title, while earning its third trip to the NCAA Tournament last winter, have been picked to repeat the conference success by both the coaches' and media polls.
Here is the full CHN squad and its comments on each player.
F David McIntyre, Sr., Colgate
The most under-the-radar dominating force in college hockey, simply because he plays in tiny Hamilton, N.Y., for a team that hasn't done much the last couple of years. But with 21 goals and 43 points last season, he was every bit the imposing force that Ryan Stoa was for Minnesota.
F Louis Caporusso, Jr., Michigan
Jumped to 24 goals last season, among the highest in the nation, and second only to Jacques Lamoureux among returning players. The only question is whether he can handle being the focal point of the offense now.
F Jordan Schroeder, So., Minnesota
With 13 goals and 45 points last season, Schroeder was the CHN Rookie of the Year, and unlike many freshmen, he ended as strong as he began.
Showed impressive poise as a strong faceofff man right off the bat. He inexplicably slid in the NHL Draft in June.
D Ian Cole, Jr., Notre Dame
With his dominating presence on the blue line, and wicked shot, Cole was one of just two players on our All-CHN team last year that wasn't a Hobey finalist. And after turning down the St. Louis Blues in the offseason, for those paying attention to all-around game, there's no reason why Cole, 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, shouldn't be one this year.
D Chay Genoway, Sr., North Dakota
His defense has been consistently strong, and he's continued to become more involved in the offense, with 32 points last season. He was WCHA Defensive Player of the Year last season.
G Zane Kalemba, Sr., Princeton
Princeton made the NCAAs for the second straight season, this time as an at large, riding Kalemba's 1.82 goals against average.
Unfortunately, he picked the wrong time for a blip, as his miscue helped cost Princeton an NCAA win against Minnesota-Duluth, in an agonizing final minute meltdown. This is the season for redemption, and there's no reason why Princeton can't get back there.
F Jacques Lamoureux, Jr., Air Force
Led the nation with 33 goals, and was named a Hobey Baker Award finalist, as Air Force upset Michigan in the first round of the NCAAs.
F Carter Camper, Jr., Miami
Small but incredibly gifted, and would not be surprising to see him on the First Team of this list at year's end. Jumped from 15 to 20 goals as a sophomore, including 12 PPG.
F Sean Backman, Sr., Yale
With all the top scorers returning, Backman is poised for an even bigger year than last year, one in which he helped lead Yale to an ECAC championship and the NCAA tournament. He had a hat trick in last year's ECAC championship, and was named tournament MVP. The former ECAC Rookie of the Year has had seasons of 18, 20 and 20 goals.
D Kevin Shattenkirk, Jr., Boston University A key cog that allowed Hobey winner Matt Gilroy to do his thing from the backline. A second team All-American last year, and First Team All-Hockey East.
D Patrick Wiercioch, So., Denver
The Pioneers have a lot of talent and balance up front, but going far may rest with how much farther Wiercioch can go. Like Matt Carle did for Denver before, Wiercioch has an all-around game that will put him in the mix of everything. Scored 12 goals as a freshman, while still growing into his 6-foot-4 frame.
G Kieran Millan, So., Boston University
Only problem for Millan is that Boston College's John Muse was in a similar position last year, and had a rough sophomore season. Not that past performance indicates future results, necessarily, especially those of others. But following up a national championship is never an easy task.

text: Workers in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries have derived many benefits from earlier versions of product portfolio management (PPM) software over the years, but a recent survey found that they're now looking for programs with enterprise-wide benefits. The Aberdeen Group conducted the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Project Portfolio Management survey in the spring and summer of 2004 and found that one of the contributing factors to the construction industry's low productivity rate is the standalone nature of technologies used. The survey indicated that one of the capabilities that PPM buyers most desired was greater cross-project visibility via a centralized database. Several firms wanted greater integration between PPM products and back-office finance/accounting technologies. The survey found that traditional firms are still focused on improving a project manager's productivity and little else while leading-edge firms are interested in tackling productivity improvements and are looking at benefits that cross multiple projects and deliver value in other ways besides making project managers more efficient. Leading-edge firms are asking for or developing wireless applications for jobsites, using Web-serviced-based applications, and getting out of the (non-value-added) IT support activities that used to be handled by project managers.

Yes, I actually scrapbook...
I've been working like a dog making class kits for the Grade School Album class in about 2 weeks. I'm continuing to take names for kits, so if you are interested, email me! I promise I'll do my best to keep up!
I wanted to announce a really cool event I've decided to put together on the blog today. I'm going to officially host a Fall Weekend Retreat at the Bertam Inn!! I can't tell you how excited I am to put this together and offer it to all of you!!! Last month I attended an event held there as a participant, and I was blown away by the whole thing. The place was beautiful, and I was so impressed. Not only was the ballroom beautiful, each person had their own 6-foot table, and the room was open 24-hours so some scrapbooked into the morning. The guest rooms were top notch, although I have to admit I didn't spend a lot of time in mine--LOL! The thing that really sold me had to be the 5-star cuisine. I had heard about their food from people who have attended events there, and man, they weren't kidding...
So, a few quick answers to some of the questions I know you're going to ask!! The date is Friday, November 14th-Sunday, November 16th, 2008. Everyone will have their own 6-foot table. Food will include appetizers and snacks on Friday night, breakfast buffet, dinner, and a fondue bar on Saturday night, and breakfast on Sunday morning. The event goes from 5:00 pm Friday through 2:00pm Sunday. Door prizes and daily drawings for giveaways.
Prices per person are as follows: Double Occupancy: $249, Triple Occupancy: $229, and Quad Occupancy: $219. And for those of you who have attended prior events at this facility, you'll know this a steal.
I will have the full details on the website in the next few days, and I'll also post any updates right here!! I look forward to a wonderful Fall weekend with my scrap friends, and I promise the event will be one to remember!! The event I attended last month with Shelly Lamb sold out in less than a day. Although I don't anticipate that kind of response, I do know the spots will fill quickly. To reserve your spot, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and let me know what type of room you would tentatively like to reserve (double, triple or quad). Deposits of 50% will be collected by May 15th, 2008, with the remainder due October 15th, 2008. And yes, you can use your paypal account to pay if you'd like!! How cool is that?
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask! I'd love to meet some of you bloggers out there, because the local gals in this area are so fun!!
Have a great evening!
