Style & disability should not be mutually exclusive
If you're disabled people assume your sense of style is no longer important e.g. disability equipment designers & manufacturers think we like 'grey' and purely functional design. They also assume we have no money to pay for premium products.
Smart, trendy places assume we don't want too visit so don't pay attention to disabled access & facilities. If they have them they are rarely shown on their websites
Robert Galway 50+Oct 18 2013: I think Lejan's comments are spot on!
I do not think there is an assumption that a disabled person's style is no longer important. I think style is just not as big a driver as economy of scale, in which cost prices being driven down by the benefits of mass production. In a design intended for a disabled person, the expectation is that customization would be needed in excess of normal tailoring for a fit that satisfies the customer. Consequently, the quantity of units divided by style choices, might not offer as much return on investment for the manufacturers.
There is another expectation that utility and safety would be more important than fashion, from a perception that anything done to somehow give the disabled person some means of overcoming the disability was more important than how it looked. There is also some legal risk concerns, although more in device design than fashion. Perhaps the assumption you mention about an expectation that disabled people have no money (or less to spend on fashion) is a similar mindset, although I am not sure how this assumption bears out statistically. Market folks would know these numbers though, and make decisions based on them.
As Fritzie mentioned, there is a disabilities act dictating requirements for public facilities here in the US. Many lawsuits have evolved this document to its present form. While there is no substitute for equality in providing services, facilities, and goods for the disabled, perhaps the lack of access in the trendy shops in places where laws do not exist to demand such things could be a business opportunity for some smart marketing group. Maybe webcam fly-through, regular showings of merchandise at facilities that do have such facilities by a cooperative group of trendy shops, or advanced on-line personalization services could help the situation. If a reasonable business model could be developed, there may also be government support of the program.
Oct 22 2013: Re economies of scale I believe some disabled people will pay a premium price for a high quality brand/design/fashion item e.g. a crutch or stick or wheelchair. These are common requirements and can be customised at the moment. What I am saying is customisation is not enough, good design with safety is possible and fashion customisation should give more alternatives than there are at the moment.
I suspect lack of choice is nothing to do with scale rather than they can earn money with the status quo! But people will pay a premium otherwise how do quality brands survive and prosper.
Oct 14 2013: Hi Fiona,
from my experience, this mutual exclusion of disability and style is mainly rooted in the given market 'mechanics' and thereby changes only slowly over time, if ever.
Disabled people usually form small consumer groups which very often are not directly accessible by corporations due to health insurance programs in between, which themselves run their own 'mechanics'.
In short : Reduction to the max to a wannabe commodity
These dominating forces seem to be that strong, that even secondary markets struggle to bridge the given gaps.
I know of just a view small companies who specialized on design-upgrades for disability equipment, and their customers are those who have this extra private budged to afford it.
Designers and engineers are victims of this system and if they had their way, we wouldn't talk here on TED about this issue.
Additionally to this field is, that function got to rule over design, as its main purpose is to ease disabilities to the highest degree possible.
A stylish wheelchair, capable of winning a design award by its looks, would be a failure in purpose if it was tipping over easily.
Incorporating both, purpose and design is no technical problem, its an accounting dictate in our given markets. Unfortunately!
Don Anderson 50+Oct 10 2013: I can think of many ways to do this and I sure you will to, so I'll just state the goal and let you have the fun in figuring the how.
Picture an event in which artists and designers come together with people with mobility aid to glam their sticks, pimp their rides, to personalize their WALKers.
Maybe find an Art & Design university to make it a yearly event.
Oct 22 2013: I agree with you that some disabled people will pay a premium price for a high quality brand/design/fashion item. I also agree that good design and safety are essential design elements for any item for any customer.
My comment about economies of scale is relative to the manufacturing of items in large enough quantities to cover the cost of setting up the tooling and production runs for manufacture. The cost of this set up is fixed. The more identical units you can make form one set-up, the less the cost of each unit. The less each costs, the more profit you make when you fill an order. The per unit price is generally set by negotiations with the retail customer in advance.
So now the marketing people have to estimate what the think they can sell in the way of different price levels in order to determine what is ordered. This is a bit of a risk, but usually it is based on past experiences with sales and predictions on how much more or less will be in demand.
Ok, with high end items for a targeting a particular disability customer group, first you need to estimate how many people have the disability which might make them a potential customer. This number would usually be low. Then, from this group, you have to decide how many of them would be willing to pay the premium price. You may also need to figure how many at one size, and then style choices. So, if you have 1000 potential customers, 25% are willing to pay a premium price, 25% are medium (S,M,L,XL), and then you have 4 color options, your market share for an identical unit is 1000*.25*.25*.25= 15 units. So, their profit is based on being able to recoup costs on 15 similar units. The number gets small quickly.
Mfg's are about profit, so such a small market share will probably not attract them, even if the price per unit is high. Mfg's supply retail shops, high or low end.
A custom tailor, or similar equivalent for other items, might be more attracted to this market.
Oct 14 2013: I agree this is the case but in the UK and via our efforts at Blue Badge Style, we are aiming to talk to manufacturers, designers and consumers. In he Uk 'low end care needs' are now being pushed down to the end user rather than the NHS or local Authorities so the end user market is definitely growing and more demanding re 'style'.
Oct 10 2013: I'm skilled in the art of the work around and have an artistic touch, be sadly many do not. (in fact it is frustrating how many people believe people with disability are "only" good for creating folk art, one has nothing to do with the other)
I hope people will start dismissing to preconceived ideas of the disabled, and to be blunt improvising does get old.
George, thank you for your curiosity and best wishes. it is so much easier to express and share desires with people have a open door to new views of this world.
Oct 10 2013: Don, you are right, of course, that creativity and physical disability have nothing to do with each other. Have you truly run into an assumption to the contrary?
Are you familiar with this: http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/ROHO/projects/artistsdis/
Oct 10 2013: This is a little tricky to describe, but I'll give a try.
My disability goes unnoticed most of the time, so somewhat uniquely I can see how people interactions with me chance when they learn of my disability. And I have to prove I'm still the same person and capable of doing my job, being sociable and charitable, with no desire to not be productive and be on charity. But when it comes to art, I have yet to see an assumption that I can't do art.
I think in the work place issue come from people being uncomfortable around the handicap, unfair costly on the health care system, or with unemployment the way it is I have gotten the feeling that the disable are taking away jobs form the able body.
Not any different than what Chinese, Irish, women, and Mexican Americans have gone throw.
Consider this "equal pay for equal work" excludes the handicap.
So I wish people would accept disabled doctors, accountants, managers, etc. as easily as they do disabled artist.
I'm sure I gave a good answer, I hope I did.
P.S. thanks for the link, that is a interesting site.
Oct 10 2013: Okay, I misunderstood. I thought you had said above that people do not easily accept the disabled artist.
I can see that you would have unique insight into people's response to disability in your workplaces.I cannot remember ever hearing anyone question a disabled person's ability to do a job the person was in. The only possible exceptions were a couple of people who were absent perhaps 50% of days (in which case the record of absences rather than the cause drew concerns about reliability) and the sharing of the need to speak loudly and clearly because of a colleague's hearing impairment. Otherwise never.
Oct 7 2013: Fiona, I think you will love this TED-talk and product.
here is the stylish version of the chair http://continuuminnovation.com/work/leveraged-freedom-chair/
Oct 7 2013: I have Style & a disability and I know where you are come from.
I currently need no mobility aid, but I did need a cane for a time, and the medical aid equipment was downright ugly.
I ended up getting a stylish adjustable Trekking-pole; the only other stylish option was to get a poorly functioning antique cane.
So thank you for Blue Badge Style, it looks like a great company.
I know many who decorate their mobility aid (cane, walker, wheelchair), but to me they have a folk art look and personally that is not my style.
When it comes to a lot of smart, trendy places they assume all their customers live in NY or LA and have a models build. So saying they pay no attention to the disabled is no surprise.
P.S. Fiona, I have MS also, since 2002. (Ampyra has tamed my MonSter, I highly suggest giving it a try)
Fiona Jarvis
Oct 7 2013: Here for your interest is the major law in the United States requiring that places of public accommodation, including restaurants, stores, theaters, public buildings, swimming pools and saunas, and so forth provide ready access to people with disabilities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990#Title_III.E2.80.94Public_accommodations_.28and_commercial_facilities.29
Oct 7 2013: As you can see from the link, the law has been in place for twenty-five years, so by now everyone just uses the access that is convenient for them, I think, without any thought to the law that a quarter of a century ago made nearly everything accessible.
It is a real shock here to come across a venue that is not accessible, which I noticed a few months ago in visiting an historic building without accommodation to a second floor ballroom.

On Wednesday morning, Stone Temple Pilots released a one-sentence statement saying that they have "officially terminated" founding member Scott Weiland as their frontman. Now, Weiland has released a statement of his own claiming that he had no idea that was being dismissed from the band.
"I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press," said Weiland. "Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out."
Weiland adds that he's "looking forward to seeing all of my fans" on his solo tour where he'll be performing STP's first two albums, 1992's Core and 1994's Purple , with his new solo band, The Wildabouts . That outing kicks off on Friday at The Machine Shop in Flint, MI.
While STP's future is uncertain, Weiland has said that he plans to release a solo album with The Wildabouts sometime in the near future.

In the year since Superstorm Sandy blew through the East Coast, meteorologists have pored over forecasts, satellite photos, computer models, and even the physical damage to try to get a sense of what made Sandy the demon it was.
Put simply, what made the superstorm dangerous and freaky in more than a dozen different ways was a meteorological trade-in: The hurricane lost some oomph in winds in return for enormous size. And just like Katrina seven years earlier, Sandy caused so much havoc because of its record girth, National Hurricane Center Director Rick Knabb said, adding: "Smaller versions of those same storms would not have had the same scope of disasters."
Sandy's breadth pushed much more water into New Jersey and New York, dropped 3 feet of snow in West Virginia, caused 20-foot waves on the distant Great Lakes and registered other records reflecting whopping energy. It meant at least 182 deaths and $65 billion in damage in the United States, the second-costliest weather disaster in American history behind only Katrina, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"I don't know if we'll ever see another storm like this," said James Franklin, hurricane center chief forecaster. "The atmosphere can do a lot of weird stuff. I don't want more like this."

Dev Blog: Broadcast Presentation
Hello everyone,
This is Christian Brandt, one of the designers for Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14. I'm here to give you some inside details on new features in this year's game – particularly the new Broadcast Presentation. This year, we put a lot of work into making the game look and feel more like a broadcast tournament than ever before.
Some of the improvements we've made include in-game statistical updates, new tournament introductions and branding (including all four majors!), a new broadcast camera setting, time of day, new major specific tournament structures, and updated commentary from Jim Nantz and David Feherty.
The first new broadcast feature you will notice is the all new tournament introductions. This year's game features real-life tournament branding, including the Honda Classic, Zurich Classic, Players Championship, The Open Championship, and many more.
In the new Quick Tournaments feature, Jim Nantz will comment about your pairing based on the scenario you have selected during the intro.
Whenever you are playing in a tournament (online or offline), you will see banner updates throughout the round just like you would see on a TV broadcast. The days of wondering what is happening elsewhere on the course are over. We now feed you stats about the round, tournament, season and even your career. If you're in a Country Club, you will also see stats that compare you with your club members.
There are three main types of banners: Historical Golfer, Compare, and Mini Leaderboards
Historical Golfer banners display single stats about your golfer. Notice the tab along the top of each banner when looking through the screenshots. This tab indicates the length of time the stat has been tracked.
The example above displays the total lifetime birdies that Nightgolf99 has earned for their Country Club. Now you won't have to go back to the club menu to check your stats; they will be displayed throughout the round when you are connected online.
Compare Banners will compare your golfer vs. another (AI or another user), round vs. round scores, Country Club scores, and top players in a given stat category. The banner above is displaying putts made from 10-15 feet from our group.
We also track weekly and lifetime statistics for your Country Club. At the end of each week, you can check your Country Club's Hub to see how many stats you led in a given week. It's always a nice bragging point when you lead in birdies or even aces at the end of the week. Check out how I stack up with my Country Club teammates in Greens Hit for the week.
Here's a look at Lifetime Status Point leaders for the Monsters Country Club.The third type of banner you will see is a mini-leaderboard that displays up to six golfers.
The mini-leaderboard also works for Country Clubs. Here are the top six leaders in GIR in the CMORRISON01 Club.
We have also added shot comparison views for your drives and approach. You will be compared against your pairing, as well as against other top drives on that particular hole.
Shot comparison – Longest Drive
Instead of getting the same old scorecard when loading between holes, players will now see tournament-specific information, including your golfer's performance and even season updates like FedExCup Rankings the Money List.
Just like on TV, you will see first see your updated scorecard and score for the round/tournament right after sinking a putt.
We have more than 100 different loading update screens to keep each round fresh. Remember, you will get these updates in all tournament type game modes such as Career, Quick Tournaments, and Connected Tournaments.
Let's say I just finished the 2nd hole. Now I can see that the 3rd hole has been playing easy so far today with 23 birdies and only one bogey. This top-down view of the hole gives you all the info at a glance."
Sometimes you will get to see Round and Tournament leaders in different stat categories such as Average Putts Per Green.
This screen is giving a quick breakdown of my performance against the rest of my playing group.
And yes, the classic Top 10 leaderboard will also appear throughout the round. It includes each golfer's tournament score, round score, and progress on the course.
As if that's not enough, we've also added a new Broadcast Camera setting that can be turned on in the Presentation Settings. We have over 3,3000 new cameras that were placed after our team did extensive research on where camera are placed on real world golf courses and how they track the ball through the air.
You will see all-new blimp views, fairway cameras, green tower and greenside views, close ups, reverse angles, different spectator swing angles, and many more. If you prefer the classic Tiger follow ball camera, it still functions as the default camera mode. But if you want to get the full broadcast experience, I would recommend the Broadcast cameras.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 is now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Order your copy today!
For more details, hit us up on Twitter or Facebook.
See you on the course,
Christian Brandt

Calm down love, your mascara is running.
I agree, though, that it should work both ways. This will make it easier for players without the time to do both PvP and PvE every day to get gear to do so when they're not so busy, especially with the upcoming changes to daily/weekly HC runs.
I have to admit, I'm looking forward to having a character I use for both PvP AND PvE, with enough "income" to fund better gear for both.

The Bat (original 1997; edition 2012)
by Jo Nesbo (Author), Don Bartlett (Translator)
Work details
The Bat by Jo Nesbo (1997)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Having read two of the later Harry Hole novels by Jo Nesbo, I decided to go back to the beginning. That decision shows just how much Nesbo has improved as a crime fiction writer since the early days. The plot twists and turns are in evidence but the neat way in which his later novels help the reader to keep track is less well developed. Nesbo writes complicated plots and unless you read "The Bat" in a day or two (which is quite possible, of course), it is too easy to lose your way.
Also I am an Australian reader and the novel is set in Sydney which is more than a little familiar to me. This may appeal to some readers (doubtless his many Norwegian readers like to track his characters through the streets of Oslo), but I found the Australian stuff all rather passe and familiar. Even boring. Not Nesbo's fault, but there you are.
Nevertheless, I will move onto "The Cockroach", the second Harry Hole novel, and see if I like Bangkok better.
A beautiful blonde Norwegian woman is found raped and killed in Sydney,Australia. Oslo detective Harry Hole is sent out to observe and assist in the investigation. Is the murder a crime of passion? OR part of a heretofore unrecognized pattern of a serial killer?
This is actually the first in Jo Nesbo's detective series, but has only recently been translated and published in English. Quite atmospheric and I would love to speak someone who has been there how accurate a portrayal of Sydney it truly is. We meet some wonderfully delineated characterizations and learn some important tidbits from Harry's 'back story.' Even if the tension isn't as highly calibrated as in Nesbo's later stories, this was action packed and quite good.
Very much enjoyed the novel perspective of a Norwegian detective finding his feet in Australia. Will probably read the other Harry Hole book but not bowled over yet by Harry Hole.
I've been hearing about Jo Nesbo for quite a while now and decided to read the first book in his Inspector Harry Hole series. It was fittingly set in Sydney, Australia and so it quickly became a priority for me.
The novel follows a relatively formulaic path. A dead body is found, it's a Norwegian woman and so Hole is sent from Norway to assist the Sydney authorities in the investigation. The murder mystery is interesting, but it's definitely not what kept me hooked on the book. I loved hearing about the culture and history in Sydney. They talk about specific locations, cultural traditions and racial struggles.
The novel reminded me of The Cuckoo's Calling a bit. The troubled detective has a complicated history and is an alcoholic. The plot lost me a little bit at a few points, but I was reading it more for the location and the lead character so that didn't bother me.
BOTTOM LINE: A great book to read if you're interested in Australia and a good mystery novel. I'll definitely check out the next one in the series to see what happens next for Harry.
Solid first effort introducing a character I will look forward to getting to know better. Having a Norwegian police officer in an Australian setting was great. Some predictable plot elements.

I don't really know about anyone else, but I found Mell's story to be the most touching, despite them being weird alien thingies. I don't know, there's just something about how everyone just hangs around, waiting for the end to come, some becoming nicer because of the impending doom.
I'm not really a fan of the other character's stories, but I like this game, and the strange, eerie concept all the same just after playing through Mell's portion :)

This game is crazy man.
Crazy history, good graphics, good music, awesome gameplay and challenges.
good job man!! =]

It's a decent game. The story is interesting. However. Naiij's levels drag on for far too long, with no real reward as a result. Perhaps if the temples were more decorated. The creature design, however, is absolutely excellent.

I love these. You have to like butternut squash, but the taste combination to me was superb. Delicate blend of flavors were absolutely delicious and so beautiful. I had to stop myself from eating about 10 of them.
To Cook from Eugene OR (10/09/11) ... try making your own ricotta, it is incredibly different and better than the plastic stuff sold in stores, plus it is easy. Recipes on this site and others.
I thought this turned out very nicely- followed others' suggestions to season liberally. The key is definitely lemon juice and a touch more sea salt at the end to finish. I also fried my sage leaves in a little bit of butter- gives a bit more flavor than olive oil alone and you can drizzle the brown butter over the crostini to finish them before you put the crispy sage on top. Yum!
I found this recipe via Pinterest, and made it yesterday for my boyfriends grandmothers 89th Birthday. Some guests really liked it, while others just somewhat liked it. I was in the group that only 'somewhat' liked this dish. It tasted somewhat bland, and like it was missing something. After much discussion my boyfriend and I have concluded that this dish needs the addition of some crisp (lightly fried) prosciutto. We will definitely make this again, with the prosciutto! The ricotta with the bit of lemon zest was absolutely beautiful, and it paired nicely with the butternut squash, however both have a slightly sweet taste, which is why we think a little balance with the meat might make this dish perfection!!
My sage leaves keep coming out with a burnt taste. Sad face! What is the key to success here?
Big disappointment. Very bland, even with additional seasoning. The flavors just didn't go together well. Wouldn't make again.
All the previous suggestions were very helpful, especially the note to heavily season the ricotta. Adding pecorino romano cheese added to the flavor. I fried the sage in the olive oil, let it cool and then crumbled on top - better than slicing.
The appetizer was great! I followed the instructions of one of the prior reviewers and brushed my crostini on both sides with a butter and olive oil spread and then put it in the oven for ~10 minutes at 400F to get them nice and crispy. After everything was put together, I also sprinkled some truffle olive oil on the crostinis and that actually pulled it all together! The smells, the tastes.....yum! Great colors, smells, tastes, and textures.
I was so impressed with the visual presentation of the dish that I didn't read the reviews beforehand. So, I made the butternut squash, ricotta and sage crostini for sunday brunch with friends and it was a disappointment. I will definitely read all reviews before preparing anything else.
Reading the reviews helped me make sure to season well every step of the way. Finished product was delicious. I think properly making the crostini also helped. I melted butter and added some olive oil. I brushed both sides of thinly sliced baguette with mix. Used a microplane to just shave a pinch of pecorino romano and a fresh crack of pepper and a pinch of kosher salt. Don't go overboard with the salt as the pecorino is salty. Toasted at 400* turning once until golden. Garlic would be a great addition to the oil/butter mix. The sage leaves I had were very large. After frying them I snipped strips onto the crostini. The flavor and color of the sage really added a lot to the finished dish. Thanks to a previous review I sprinkled a few toasted pine nuts on each. Delicious.

The Toy Fair at the Javits Center has a ton of fun stuff to do. But we wanted to get down to business and find out how entrepreneurs made their ideas a reality.
Alison Brush-Stern was walking to the beach in Amagansset with three kids under her arm and realized she forgot the buckets and shovels. That's when Collapse-A-Pail was born.
"As I sat there I remembered my mom had a fold-able plastic cup she would pop up and down in department stores whenever she wanted a drink," Brush-Stern says. "I said that's what I needed, a fold-able packable beach pail!"
Wendy Lasater came up with her business idea when her daughter was going through her monster stage.
"I decided to write her a story, and I took it upon myself to make a Monster Eater," she says. "It's his job to stay up all night and protect her."
Marcia Haut, a therapist, invented the SmartNoggin, which is a learning tool for babies.
All of these "mompreneurs" say the Internet took their business ideas to the next level.
"I did a lot of Google searches we found an excellent developer," Haut says.
Brush-Stern says: "I literally Googled everything, logo designers, to a mechanical drawing."
They suggest assembling the right team and then getting the concept patented to protect your idea and make sure no one else uses your logo and name for a small business. Then you can show off your idea.
Linda Parry, the creator of CanN'Ball, says it doesn't take a lot of cash to get an idea up and running.
"You can start with a concept, bring it to the market and if they adopt it then you can move forward with production costs," she says.
These are just some tips from the pros if you want to make some money off your next big idea.

Twenty-years-ago, Chicago hosted the first ever national gang summit.
The name has changed but the problems are still the same - gang violence impacting children and family citywide.
The first national gang summit in 1993 was held for five days, closed to the public and open to 300 gang members. This year it will last two days, it's open to the public and from here the summit will spread its message to four other states battling gang violence.
"I'm a former member of the Cobras," said Stan Dowells.
"I came from Robert Taylor's off of 53rd and State Street," said Dowells, a former gang member, in an interview with Fox 32's Tisha Lewis.
"What goes through my mind is that by the grace of God, I've been able to change my life and get away from the gangs, what goes through my mind is the loss of direction and no one there to try to help them out," said Dowells.
Former and current gang members and victims' families were invited by Dr. Gregory Tatum and his wife to attend the Unity Summit at the House of Hope.
Tatum is a California pastor who grew up in the Cabrini Green projects in the early 1960's - he's been a community activist since the first gang summit two decades ago.
"I don't think people are coming out with any bad intentions, they're coming to recognize their loss loved ones to share in the healing process," said Tatum.
A healing process still in progress for Nortasha Stingley.
"My daughter was killed on June 25, 2013. She was in a car with four other kids," said Stingley.
Stingley's 19-year-old daughter Marissa was the only fatality. She was riding with friends when the killer reportedly fired several shots into their car.
The case is cold and to make matters worse, "the young men in the car know exactly who did this," said Stingley.
The Summit comes on the heels of the mass shooting at a South side park that sparked furor city-wide.
Tatum says he was surprised by the reaction from law enforcement about the Summit.
"Surprisingly it's been mixed," said Tatum.
So he turned to his childhood mentor, Secretary of State Jesse White, for help.
"When I first began to go on this quest he told me to go for it Dr. Tatum, just make it all inclusive, involving all the communities so that's why we calling it the Village is Here," said Tatum.
Saturday, Secretary of State Jesse White is expected to attend and the focus will shift to the influence of music, social media and parenting.
From here, the summit heads to Los Angeles, Detroit, Toledo and Kansas City.

Alicia Ann Lynch decided to dress up as a "survivor" of the Boston Marathon bombing and posted her costume online. But what was even more outrageous than her tasteless costume was the reaction she received online.
Angry hate-fueled tweets were posted but then angry comments turned into death threats. When a photo of her license was found online, her parents started getting harassed at her old address. Lynch says she received violent death threats and there was an online push for her to be fired. Her employer was contacted and nude photos of her were spread on the internet. Lynch told the website Buzzfeed she realized she made a mistake and is paying for poor judgment but says her parents had no idea what she was dressing up as and asked people on Twitter to stop harassing them.
Lynch has lost her job and deleted all of her other social media accounts. Even though there were others that dressed up in similar costumes, Lynch believes she was singled out because she's a woman. But to face death threats and lose your job over a tasteless Halloween costume? What do you think?

Quick and Easy Baby Blanket Gift
I made this baby blanket for a friend of mine who is in the process of adopting a baby, while she fosters another! Busy mom. I wrote about this baby blanket idea way back, and it was actually something I followed up on! I love the mixed media — sewing fabric + crochet — and it's SOOO quick and easy, with a little more flair than your average blanket.
I love the baby fabric options out there to choose from, and the flannel is super soft. I had never crocheted directly into fabric before, so I was a little worried about how that big hook was going to work on fabric, but the flannel makes it easy. Has anyone had success doing this on other fabrics?
I stumbled across this baby blanket pattern over at Purl Soho. I love the mixing of sewing and crochet! And this would be super quick and easy to make as a baby gift. Purl has the detailed pattern, but basically you just have to hem the edges of the blanket then crochet the border around, using 3 single crochets and chain stitch. And while Purl recommends their fabric, which is fabulous, it's also pretty expensive. I researched some alternatives over at fabric.com and found some adorable flannel prints that would be perfect for a little baby. Here are some of my favorites. How adorable are those pink giraffes!! Ahh! Edit: I just bought the giraffe fabric and will be picking up some yarn from purl next week. So excited to make this! elephants | giraffes | stripes
i've always had a thing for making gigantic knit/crochet things that aren't your typical "knit" items. like the rag bath mat or the crochet bathroom rug. here are a few of my favorites, some for inspiration, some with patterns. my only obstacle is finding yarn big enough to make these things. maybe i should be looking at the hardware store instead of the yarn store.via crochetspotvia apartment therapy via diy network via Craftivity
interesting knits and a few crochet patterns have been popping up in the fall/winter collections for 2011 in new york and london. 70s style trends are weaving their way in many of the collections, so it's no surprise that a few dramatic knits are included.rodarte's collection was inspired by prairie home companion and had some great log cabin sweaters.house of holland reworked the traditional granny square. although, these are a bit too much like the original for me. a different set of non primary colors would have given it a bit more of a modern refreshed look.other designers like proenza schouler, christopher kane and edun worked their crochet in a bit more subtly.photos via style.com and fashionologie
this weekend, i worked out a new crochet pattern for a new necklace, which is aptly halloween-appropriate, but i could see wearing it year-round just as well. the pattern is for a crochet skull, which i made into a layered chain necklace, but the possibilities are really endless with this guy. the pattern is below - or if you're not so inclined, you can always pick one up from the shop. PATTERNGauge, yarn and hook size are not critical. I used a G hook with Peaches and Creme cotton yarn, but you can play around with different yarns and hooks to get different sizes.Crown:-CH 2-2 SC into 2nd ch on previous row (2 sts) CH 1 and turn-2 SC into each ch (4sts) CH 1 and turn-3 HD, 2HD into last ch (5sts) CH 2 and turn-1 HD, 2 HD into next st, 1 HD, 2 HD into next st, 2 HD into next st (8sts) CH 3 and turnEyes:-2 DC, CH 7, SL into 3rd st (center of face), turn and slip into first st on chain, turn, CH 7.

the pattern for this coiled crochet medallion uses the bullion or roll crochet stitch. it's pretty fun to do, but takes a little practice before you can do it in one easy swoop. the pattern and instructions for the little coiled medallion necklace is below…or if you're not so inclined to crochet, you can find the crochet necklace in the shop. bullion stitch instructionsthe actual bullion stitch is done by wrapping your hook 5-10 times (start small for practice) somewhat loosely, but very evenly. insert into your foundation stitch, wrap once, pull through foundation st. wrap once and pull through all of your loops. wrap once and pull through last loop.

i've been adding some new summer colors to the shop!
I wanted to put together a simple mesh crochet necklace, almost like a kerchief-style scarf. here's what i came up with. pattern is below, or if you're not so inclined to make your own, check them out in the shop. PatternMaterials:E/4 - 3.4mm crochet hookDK weight yarn (I used a cotton/linen yarn)gauge doesn't really matter.CH 40 stsrow 1: dc into 4rd ch from hook, *ch1, skip 1 ch, dc into next st*, repeat from * until end of the row (ending with a dc). turn.row 2: sl st into first st, ch 2, *ch 1, skip dc on previous row, dc into next ch st. repeat from * across row. (always end row with a dc, which will be 1 st shorter than the previous row. you're decreasing 2 st each row - 1 at the beg and 1 at the end). repeat row 2 until 1 st remains. bind off.to make it bigger or smaller, just do your initial chain in any odd number of stitches + 3.**Pattern is for personal use only - not to be reproduced for sale, nor to make items for sale**
This crochet pattern will show you how to make a crochet bib necklace. It has 3 scalloped layers of ruffles, and is super quick to make! You can whip up a necklace in about 45 minutes. All of the details for making the necklace yourself are below, however, if you're not so inclined to make your own, you can always buy a crochet bib necklace from the shop.
Materials: I used Sugar n Creme cotton solids and a size G crochet hook, but you could pretty much use yarn/hook size to get whichever size you prefer.
Crochet Pattern:
Chain 33 stsrow 1: DC into third stitch from hook, DC across row.row 2: C3, turn, DC into first st, *chain 3, DC into next st, repeat from * across the row.row 3: C3, turn, DC into first st, then in loop created from previous row (TC, C1, TC, TC, C1, TC), * C3 skip 1 loop, SC into next loop, C3, skip 1 loop, in next loop (TC, C1, TC, TC, C1, TC). Continue from * to the end of the row. DC into remaining st. Bind off.Repeat for next layer only chaining 29 stitches for the foundation row.Repeat for next later only chaining 25 stitches for the foundation row.Stitch all three together, staggering the placement to get a layered effect. To do this, place the biggest piece on bottom and attach the middle piece 1 scallop above the top edges of the bottom piece. only stitch in 2 places (at the very tops of the 'horseshoes' or U's). Next, lay your smallest piece on top of the middle piece, 1 scallop above the top. Stitch the same way as before. Finally, attach to a chain. you're done!Modifications: this pattern can be easily modified if you're using bigger or smaller yarn. To make longer or shorter pieces, just increase or decrease your initial chains in increments of 4.

i know, the holidays are like, a quarter of the year away still, but i like to give everyone a little something handmade, and hate feeling rushed when there's two days before christmas and i *only* have to finish knitting and sewing a million things. so, just to get started a little early this year with some ideas, this will be part 1 of the handmade holiday gift ideas. this set includes quick knits and crocheted items.item: denim knit kerchiefpattern: from the book last minute knitted gifts.

Surviving the LDR (Long-Distance Relationship)
Most of us have been through one -- a long-distance relationship. The question is: Can it ever really work?
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Far from being a new convention, the LDR has exploded in numbers thanks to Internet dating and our capitalistic pressure to chase money and jobs around the country, and indeed the globe. But can it ever really work? Can long-distance love eventually become a cozy same-city nest? Can a stay-at-home relationship survive a stint abroad? And how does parental separation affect kids?
The answer is a bit complicated. In general, the very dynamics that create and sustain a long-distance relationship are different from those of a consistent stay-at-home relationship. LDRs are marked by plenty of autonomous alone time and peppered with a series of "honeymoons" in various hook-up cities. Stay-at-home love is more often about the daily work of love and life. And the players tend to be different. If you've read some of my past articles about the psychological theory called "Attachment Theory," you've probably guessed already that emotionally avoidant individuals might really dig an LDR, while more anxious or preoccupied folks like to have a shorter tether.
So, the big question I get asked a lot is: What do you do if one morphs into the other? And how can you make an LDR come home to roost? My advice: Be prepared for plenty of conflict. All change is painful. Emotional change has its own particular brand of sting. But emotional change, when it brings self-awareness and/or a new level of compassion, is ultimately good.
First, consider this: We all make silent contracts in every relationship. For instance, all my girlfriends know without me having to say it that they'll be rescheduled on my calendar if a work obligation comes up. And, most of them also have signed on with their blessings that a great guy comes first. Girlfriends are a supportive bunch and, above all, we want happiness for each other. We've never discussed this, but I know it's true. It has played out in the past.
And what might be in the silent contract of romantic love? Usually it's about the amount of contact, the kind of contact (e-mail, voice, face-to-face), and the content of the contact. Some partners can handle, and even crave, a lot of honest, authentic talk about feelings, and many, many others would prefer to have a root canal.
In the long-distance love contract, the clauses about contact are very easy to adhere to. If one partner prefers less contact, he or she becomes literally unavailable, on a different time zone, with phones turned off. Period. You can't argue with that kind of communication boundary. In stay-at-home love, it's a little harder to duck and cover. There he is, walking in the door, ready for love and the F-word (feelings). If a long-distance relationship is filled with strict communication boundaries, the shift to a day-to-day relationship may be extremely challenging.
And what about a stay-at-home relationship that is about to undergo a transition that involves distance? Let's start with the effect on children. I happen to have been raised in a Navy family, and my beloved daddy was gone for nearly six months every year. I won't begin to tell you about all the money I have spent in therapy and the adult tears I have shed over this childhood loss. Kids don't care what reason takes parents away, be it a job, divorce, or even death. The emotional impact is the same.
On the romantic front, separation changes environmental stimuli. And environment affects our perception of ourselves and our partner. For instance, let's say you live in a small town, and your guy is one of the best looking, smartest dudes on Main Street. Then your job takes you to New York. While you may have firm plans for your boyfriend or husband to follow you out within a year, something happens that you were unprepared for. Suddenly your guy looks like chump change beside the crowds of hunky capitalists on Wall Street. Or, he takes a semester in London and finds that a Kate Moss clone with a comely accent is more attractive than his high school sweetheart. Take a deep breath, people. I'm not saying that all relationships are so superficial. But many are.
And that's my point. How do you avoid becoming superficial? By getting below the surface. Yes, I'm back on Dr. Walsh's soapbox. The real glue of every relationship, both LDRs and the stay-at-home kind, is the degree of emotional attachment. When we have compassion for our partners, when we trust that they have our back no matter what, when we really feel seen and loved, and when we can love our partners even with their vulnerabilities, we have the glue of real love. Real attachment. That will be the thing that weathers the storms of temptation, distance, and challenging communication. Trust. To trust and be trustworthy. Work on yourself and the world will line up in accordance with your ethics.

"Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?"
I'll be giving a TED U Talk in Longbeach at the end of the month. I'll be asking "Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?" I think that blithe optimism about technology's powers has evaporated as big problems that people had imagined technology would solve, such as hunger, poverty, malaria, climate change, cancer, and the diseases of old age, have come to seem intractably hard.
I'd love to know what the TED Community thinks our difficulties are - or, even if the idea is true at all.

Dave SmithMar 5 2013: Colleen,
I agree with that wholeheartedly, and I am so glad you made that point. There is a balance we need to achieve to evolve as individuals but also contribute to the global community. I believe it starts on a small scale and over time can snowball into and have a much bigger effect on the world. That is exactly why I started the Repay Someday project. The catalyst came from a sequence of events resulting from Hurricane Sandy but the overall much bigger goal is to accomplish what you mentioned, "evolve in ourselves as individuals, AND contribute to the global community AT THE SAME TIME"
Thank you very much for your feedback and thoughts. I really appreciate hearing others thoughts and insight on this subject.
Mar 5 2013: Dave,
It looks like you are relatively new to the TED community? Welcome:>)
To keep comments in sequence, you can respond directly to a comment, rather than going back to the top. You see the "reply" options in the upper right corner of the comment? Try it....you'll like it:>)
I agree that any effort toward balance in our individual lives AND the global community may start on a small scale, and we can build from there. I appreciate you and your contribution as well Dave:>)

I've heard great things about this hotel, which is why we booked it for a girls weekend. The location and space is fantastic, the pool desk and tiki bar are beautiful. However (maybe this was just a fluke weekend) there was a lot that was left to be desired... the carpets my room felt damp the whole time, and the room and halls didn't seem 100% clean... the hot tub was non-functional and hall filled with what looked like dirty water (maybe it was cleaning solution?) Some of the staff was very helpful, while others were very rude. Definitely didn't make us feel special. The location was beautiful, but that's just not enough for the amount of money they charge. This felt like a discount hotel.

Most would never accuse a Leatherman tool of being lazy, but over weight with an array of tools that don't ever get used, that's a different story. Hence why the company slimmed down their next iteration of the handy tool and introduced the Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool. The operative word here is Skeletool.
Unlike previous versions of the device, this one is much more bare bones, but places an emphasis on a usable, reasonably sized knife – with its own locking mechanism – that can be accessed without opening it. The five ounce tool also includes stainless steel handles with Carbon-fiber handle scale, a universal bit driver, pliers, wire cutter and a carabiner/bottle opener. Did we mention that it's backed by a 25 year warranty?
You can buy the Leatherman Skeletool from Amazon for $65.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A process server is accusing a state senator's aide of pushing him down, and calling him vulgar names as he tried serving the senator's office with a lawsuit.
The Wisconsin State Journal said the incident occurred September 3rd, in connection with a suit filed in June by the Center for Media and Democracy.
The group is trying to obtain documents it believes that Senate Republican Leah Vukmir obtained during a meeting in May of the American Legislative Exchange Council. The conservative council drafts model legislation for states to consider on various issues.
According to the lawsuit affidavits, Bruce Lowery tried serving Vukmir -- but her aide Jason Rostan chased him, pushed him down outside the Capitol building, and called him names while trying to push the papers back into the server's pockets.
The next day, the documents said Lowery's wife Chris tried serving the lawsuit -- but Rostan held his hands behind his back. She finally touched the papers on his hands to make the service legal, and left them in the senator's office.
The Justice Department would not comment on the specific case. A spokeswoman did tell the State Journal that most firms which sue the state know to go to the Attorney General's office where the papers will be accepted, instead of trying to chase individual lawmakers down.
Rostan told the paper he did try to give Bruce Lowery the papers back -- but Lowery tripped and fell and was not pushed.

Crispy, Crunchy, Cheesy: Homemade Cheese Crackers
Recipe Reviews
When we first saw this recipe, we thought, "Impossible." No way a cracker made with just a handful of ingredients in about three minutes using a food processor could possibly rival a certain fish-shaped one in the store. There had to be a trick in there somewhere!
I'll spare you the anticipation: these crackers are good. Way good. So good that they were gone about 10 minutes after I set them out for an appetizer at a recent dinner party. So good that no one believed they were handmade and I had to pull up the recipe to prove it.
I've never used our food processor to make a dough before, and it seemed unlikely that a few tablespoons of water would transform the crumbly mixture of cheese and flour into an actual dough. But it came together like magic. One second, crumbs - the next second, dough!
I know from experience that a well-chilled dough will puff better in the oven, so I let the this one chill for a good two hours before rolling out the dough. You could definitely make the dough the day before, if you wanted.
The dough was very easy to roll out. It didn't crack or feel too sticky. I used a bench scraper to first section the dough into strips and then cut each strip into small triangles. A rolling pizza cutter would also have worked well.
Into the oven the crackers went and I waited with eager anticipation. In about 17 minutes, the tops were puffed and shiny, the edges were starting to darken, and the bottoms (when I flipped a few over) were a golden brown. I called it good and took them out to cool.
It was so hard to resist eating them all right then. They really did taste like goldfish crackers - rich and cheesy, but not at all greasy, and perfectly wonderfully amazingly crunchy. So good.
The only slight snafu is that the crackers didn't stay this crunchy. I packed them away in an air-tight container for the dinner party, but by the next evening, they had lost a lot of their crispness. They were still flaky and airy, definitely still delicious, but much softer. My guests insisted they liked them just they way were, but I wished they had been able to try them straight from the oven.
This recipe is definitely a keeper, though. We're excited to experiment with other cheeses and additional spices. And if you've been looking for a homemade cheese cracker for your kids, give this one a shot!

Mmm, those look delicious! However, I do think one trick to making crackers that stay shatteringly crisp is Baker's Ammonia. It imparts a texture that no other technique or ingredient seems able to accomplish.
nom nom! how many crackers does this make?
@rebecca_f: The number of crackers would depend on the size you make them. As a point of reference, the rolled-out dough was about the size of two pie crusts. My crackers were about 3/4 inch on each side, and made about 3 cups of crackers.
@Slow Lorus: I've never worked with Baker's Ammonia! I'll see if I can find some and try it next time.
Maybe if you layer the dough on itself it will make them crisper. Also, maybe they were still slightly warm when they were put away? I could see how that might make them less crisp.
I have a similar recipe that I used to make a lot. Instead of rolling out the dough, I just shape it into a log, chill, slice and bake. Because they're bigger, they don't puff up quite as much, and are less reminiscent of goldfish crackers; maybe more like Ritz crackers (except way better). They're fabulous with a little paprika and sea salt sprinkled on the top before baking. Mmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about them, gotta make another batch soon...
@Slow Lorus How much Baker's Ammonia would you recommend for this recipe?
Another suggestion for re-crisping slightly softened crackers: put them in a 200 degree oven for 10 - 20 minutes. Dries them back out without further browning or toughening them.
@EmmaC: There's this recipe at King Arthur Flour for Vermont Cheese Crackers that uses Baker's Ammonia but I've never tried it. Maybe a tweaked version marrying the Cheddar Crackers with the Vermont Cheese?
And open the windows if you use this leavener. It emits quite a whiff when baking but dissipates quickly and leaves no trace in the baked goods. I've made some excellent non-cheesy crackers, swedish cookies, and some crispy crunchy replica HobNobs with Baker's Ammonia. They always stock little jars of it at my Middle Eastern grocery store.
@VeryKerry - excellent re-crisping suggestion!
@Slow Lorus - Thanks for the link. I'll definitely try it soon!
I did these with Gruyere and romano instead of cheddar, and by my shoddy technique i did some about 1/8" thick as recommended, but some even thinner. Different cooking times for the two were a touch annoying (my fault) but the thin ones are incredibly crispy and the thick ones are a perfect balance of crispy and puffy! The sharper cheeses gave a great flavor and my house smells amazing. I think next time I may put in some sage or thyme and see where that goes :)
@VeryKerry - One of my cracker recipes uses 1/2 tsp of Baker's Ammonia to 2 cups of flour but another recipe I use adds 1 tsp of Baker's Ammonia for 1-3/4 c of flour and both are great...I'd start out with a lesser amount first.
I've also heard that it can be substituted 1:1 for cracker recipes that ask for either baking soda or powder.
That's unreal! I used to inhale Goldfish by the bagful. I sometimes make savory cheese crackers but I never thought of actively trying to mimic those beloved Goldfish.
The original recipe says to roll them thin, and in the comments she says that if you don't roll them thin enough they get soft like you mentioned.
Looks like your were just too thick before baking! :)
My first grader hoovers down boxes of cheez-its, so I'll definitely be trying this recipe this weekend! I'll probably try using the rollers on my pasta machine to get the dough thin enough...
I can't wait to try this!
This is amazing! I have already made this three times and every time I do, my husband demolishes the crackers by the end of the weekend. My only tweak is to use extra sharp cheddar to get that "cheesy" taste that is reminiscent of Cheese-Its. With sharp cheddar, the crackers tasted more buttery than cheesy but with the extra sharp, they are a hit!
