Tip for Knitting Arms
For months, I've been wearing
saying, "I wish these arms were one-inch longer. This weekend, I did it!
Knitting Tip: When knitting sleeves, put the sweater in a bag or pillow case.
Sleeves are super-fast to knit and your sweater will be spinning like a top in your lap. The bag will not only protect the rest of your sweater, but it will also make it easier to turn everything.
Once I wash it and re-block*, I'll be ready to take some "finished for real" photos for you guys. :)
*I can machine wash and dry this sweater, which is awesome. Re-blocking is a quick spritz of the edges and an over-night dry on a towel on the kitchen table. Not a big deal at all.

Choose Your Own Adventure
One of the highlights of my childhood was reading
Choose Your Own Adventure
books. If you're not familiar with them, they are books where you are asked at intervals to decide what direction the story will take. At the bottom of the page, you're asked a question, and depending on your answer, you turn to a certain page number to continue reading.
There are two wonderful things about Choose Your Own Adventure books: (1) you are in control of where the story goes; and (2) you can read the book over and over and it will be a new and different experience every time (until you run out of story lines).
So Many Choices
The awesome thing about our online maker community, is that you can participate on whatever level you choose. In essence, you can choose your own adventure here. There are an overwhelming array of venues and technologies you can use to connect with other makers:
- write a blog
- read blogs
- pinterest
- twitter
- flickr
- facebook
- ravelry
- forums like craftster and crochetville
- and a bunch more (add ones I missed in the comments!)
I see (and hear about) a lot of disatisfaction in these venues. People saying they *should* blog more, or *should* post more pictures, or *wishing* they didn't drag their feet when it comes to X, Y, or Z. Sometimes we all have valid gripes. Who couldn't use more time, money, and talent? But when I hear the word "should" alarm bells ring.
Blogging isn't for everyone. Facebook isn't for everyone. Twitter isn't for everyone. Maybe the reason you're disatisfied with your level of involvement is because you are trying to fit your creative circle peg in a square hole. Everyone's needs and desires are different. Just because Person A's creativity exploded into a sky full of fireworks when they started a blog doesn't mean that it will do the same for you.
Maybe you're more of a Flickr person. Maybe you're a tweeter. Maybe you're a lurker. I say, embrace the avenues online that encourage, support, inspire, and ultimately make you feel good about your level of involvement. I say, whatever you choose to do is A-OK.
Things Change
Also, keep in mind that your creative needs and desires will change over time. When I first discovered feed readers (like Google Reader and Bloglines) I subscribed to EVERY blog I stumbled across. I ended up with hundreds of subscriptions. I found checking them everyday was a joy.
But years later, I saw all those subscriptions as a diversion, a chore, and the opposite of inspiring. I had much less free time and keeping track of all those people and projects where keeping me from taking the time I needed to find my own inspiration and complete my own projects. I was also comparing my seemingly tiny crafty output to *everyone else's* crafty output. I'd finish one project and my feed reader would show me 85 even cooler finished projects. It became disheartening.
I ended up deleteing all my subscriptions except for those of my very best blog-friends. My extra blog surfing came in the form of visiting my commenter's blog. Other than that, I didn't get out into the crafty world much. I focused my energy where it was needed most, creating.
Feeling Good Is Different Than Being Comfortable
Feel like I should add a little disclaimer here. I don't want to come accross as saying you should never be uncomfortable or push your boundaries. Being uncomfortable and pushing your boundaries is a great way to grow as a creative person. I never ever in a million years thought I'd have a blog. Never. Ever. Even after I started my blog, I would argue that it wasn't a blog. I was *so* uncomfortable when I first started it, and frankly, it sorta stank, especially the photos.
But after giving it a go, I found that it had a ton of positive side effects for me: I finished projects more often; I took more risks in my projects; I *loved* getting feedback that from people who *got* what I was doing. I was growing as a creative person!
So, this is the disclaimer: You should feel good about your level of involvement in the craft community, but you shouldn't necessarily feel comfortable with it, creatively speaking.
Tell Me About Your Experience Online
I'm curious about your experience in the online creative community. What venues work for you? Why? What venues don't work for you? Why? Have you changed your online habits over time? What made you change?

Fractured - Body Update
Decided to stick with one project until it's done. I picked
I don't think I mentioned this before, but I had to start ALL OVER.
I know I said in
my last fractured post
that it fit ... but once I got another inch or so of body done, I realized it was WAAAAAY too big. I'd made an assumption about stockinette-gauge as it relates to dragonfly-pattern-gauge.
As luck would have it, half of a MFing sweater is a pretty fantastic gauge swatch. I did some measuring, I frogged that sucker, and now I'm making the exact right size. And, since I'm knitting about 2/3rds of the sweater I was knitting before, it's going a lot faster.
Woohoo, sweater! It's pretty warm for being 100% cotton, too.

Slightly Sinister Easter Eggs
I originally designed the
Bad Eggs
around Easter of 2006 as a set of four in black eggs with embroidered designs. I was bristling at the deluge of Easter crap everywhere more than a month before Easter. I needed an antidote to all the pastels.
When I saw a call-for-entries from The Anticraft, I updated the idea to be more subversive ... traditionally-colored eggs with non-traditional imagery. They liked the idea so much, my Bad Eggs were included in the
Anticraft book
(not an affiliate link).
The bonus is that they have now posted the
Bad Eggs pattern PDF
on their site. Make some and tuck them into your favorite imp's Easter basket.
Here are the four designs you have to chose from ...
Look at that squirting arterial blood! I can't tell you how much I love that decapitated bunny. It warms my heart. I couldn't be happier about how it turned out. The white-on-white embroidery outlining his leg doesn't photograph well, but it looks good in person. His tail is a bunch of floss loops making a 3-D puff.
Ahhhh ... a cute chick with a taste for eyes. Chirp! The eyes filling the basket are made with a tiny sequin and a black seed bead ... and embroidered eyelashes. I do realize that if a chick was digging the eyeballs out of peoples' heads and collecting them in a basket that they wouldn't still have eyelashes, but I think that makes it all the more creepy. :) It totally oogs me out that the chick is holding an eye by the optic nerve.
The other two eggs in the Bad Eggs set are based on the original designs. One is embroidered with 360° flames and the other has evil eyes on each side in alternating warm and cool colors.
Certainly, you could make non-snarky Easter eggs with the pattern ... but why would you? ;)

Inspiration - Joshua Tree National Park
I visited Joshua Tree National Park again in February. As always, it's a delightful and beautiful place. Spending time in the quietness of the desert is profoundly calming. It's quite humbling as well, when you consider that the rocks and boulders surrounding you were formed, transformed, and exposed over millions of years.
Of course I took normal touristy photos, the likes of which you can see by doing a google image search for "
Joshua Tree National Forest
," but what I'm going to share with you today are my favorite up-close shots of the textures, colors, and details of my desert vacation.

Developing Skill
image attribution:
(This post was originally published on the now-defunct "Make & Meaning" blog.)
When I think of the word craftsmanship, it evokes thoughtfulness, confidence, a commitment to doing things well, and skill. Of those things, the only one that you definitely can't have out of the gate is skill. No one is born an expert on a given craft or trade. Even when you have years of doing something under your belt, there is still usually more to learn and explore.
For me, skill comes with:
· Time
· Practice
· Experimenting
· Learning
· Allowing yourself to make mistakes
Even though these are interconnected ideas, each has its own value ...
image attribution:
You aren't going to become skilled overnight. Allow yourself time to acquire the knowledge you need to do something well. I'm super-impatient, but I've learned that if I ignore the voice in my head that keeps repeating, "Have you figured it out yet? How about now? Really, what's taking so long?" and I just float along the path where ever it may lead, that I eventually have that moment where I can say, "Yes! Now I can do it!"
I'm making myself sound a lot more Zen than I am, what with my "paths" and "floating" and everything. The reality for me is that when I'm learning a skill, particularly a difficult one, I will work on it in spurts ... usually because I've gotten so cross-eyed with frustration that I just can't take anymore. With all the starting and stopping, giving myself time to learn is key.
Don't set an artificial time limit for yourself. It's quite possible that you might never run out of new things to learn. Your timeline might be life-long. Just think about embroidery for example. Not only are there hundreds of stitches you could master, but there are cultural motifs and techniques to explore, a mind-boggling array of tools and materials to use, and the journey to find your own unique style.
There are two wonderful aspects to practice.
First, practice is a repetition that helps you incorporate a movement or ability into yourself; make it a part of you. Athletes, actors, dancers, musicians ... all of these skilled people practice. A lot. Why not give yourself the time to practice your craft. Give yourself projects that aren't about making something, but purely about practicing.
Sometimes, in between crochet projects, I'll just grab a skein of yarn and a hook and I'll just make a big block of single crochet. Or a circle. Or whatever. I don't have any project in mind. I'm not testing things out or experimenting. I'm just enjoying the process of holding my crochet hook and making little loops. I'm creating a sense-memory of what crocheting feels like.
The second wonderful aspect of practice is that when you're practicing, it's not "for real" so there isn't the pressure of perfection. Let's say you've decided to learn wood carving. If you decide your first piece is going to be a figurine of your cat and it turns out to look more like a hedgehog-horse hybrid, it could be very discouraging because you failed to do what you set out to do.
But if you made that same other-worldly, animal-monster when you were "just practicing" you might see that you've done a great job using your V-Gouge to create a wonderful spiny body. That's the beauty of practicing. When you don't expect specific results, you're open trying new things and to seeing the good parts of what you created.
As a process-focused crafter, I'm all about the details. At each step of the project, I look at my technique and think to myself, "Is there another way to do this?" I'm not even looking for a *better* way, necessarily. I'm just exploring the width, breadth, and limits of my chosen craft. I like to call this experimenting.
When I was learning to do the foundation single crochet (fsc), I found some conflicting instructions on how to start the stitch. I decided I was going to figure out what I thought looked best. I made a series of fsc rows starting off in every different way I could think of. I ended up with eight samples. I examined each of the samples and determined which one looked most like a normal row of chains and single crochet.
The awesome thing about this experiment is that I now have a detailed understanding of fsc. I also have photos to reference if I decide to do something different with fsc where the starting stitch should have a different look. In this instance, experimenting greatly increased my knowledge of crochet and definitely added to my skill.
My first instinct is to try and figure everything out myself. But that's not always the best or easiest way to learn something. It's silly to use your energy and time mastering a skill on your own when you can more easily learn from someone else who has already blazed that path. Especially at the beginning of your skill journey, it's good to have help when you're learning.
The ability to learn a new craft has taken on epic proportions with the introduction of the internet. Before, you were limited to books and the occasional face-to-face teacher. Now you are a quick internet search away from a sea of blogs, tutorials, videos, and e-books on almost any skill imaginable. Not only that, but you can probably even find someone you can email directly to ask for help if you can't find the exact information you're looking for. Take advantage of all the resources at your disposal!
Allowing Yourself To Make Mistakes
I recently saw a job posting where the company said, "We like mistakes, and hope that you've made some big ones." At first, I thought it was just more of the cheesy baloney you find in most job postings. But the more I thought about it, the cooler I thought that was. They want you to be doing big things, always be learning, and unafraid of messing up the first (or second, or third ... ) time you try something. They understand that by taking risks, you're going to learn a whole lot more than if you just stick to what you already know. And, sometimes, your risks are going to faceplant.
Do you know what's funny? Sometimes when I do something the first time and it works, I'm actually skeptical. I'll do that thing a couple other times a different way, just so I'll fail and mess it up. Sometimes that the only way I trust that I really, truly figured something out. It's my own version of the Winston Churchill quote about Americans, "You can always count on
Alice to do the right thing – after she's tried everything else."
I get lots of emails from people asking advice about sewing and crochet projects. They aren't sure what kind of thread would work best, or which crochet stitch would look right. My answer always includes encouragement to try it out all the options and see what works. It's important to remember not to take failures personally. They are just a learning experience. And, sometimes, your failures will actually turn out to be successes of a completely different kind.
How do YOU develop skill?
I'm sure I've left out some great tips for developing skill. How do you approach becoming good at a new craft? Do you have any advice for those just starting out?

Golden Sunset
When I spend over a year on a project (however intermittent) I get a little attached to it ...
... to having it around.
... to touching the pile of waiting yarn.
... to checking off the rows as I knit them.
... to frogging and reknitting and frogging and rereknitting.
I will miss this little chart.
Golden is almost here. I might even be wearing it as you read this.

Valentine's Day Crochet
It's that time of year again!
For any of you that like to do schmoopy things around Valentine's Day, my
Crochet Heart Scarf
is a quick project that is also cute!
If you're not interested in a scarf, be creative like
(ravelry account required to view link) who added a mesh back to the motifs and created adorable fingerless gloves. Let your imagination run wild!
Wanna take a peek into my design process? You can see a series of my prototypes that I
posted last year
. It was quite an adventure getting to this design.
Big hugs, everyone!

"If it wasn't for the Leadership Institute, I would not be where I am today," National Right To Work Committee and National Right To Work Legal Defense Foundation President Mark Mix said.
Across all 50 states Mark and his staff fight leftist laws that require union membership as a condition for employment. Their organization believes that all Americans must have the right to join a union if they choose to, but no one should ever be forced to affiliate with a union in order to get or keep a job.
In college, Mark met a person at James Madison University who changed his life.
"I joined Heritage Action a month after it launched, in July of 2010," Heritage Action Deputy Political Director Nathanael Yellis said. Three years later, their focus for this fall is clear: defund the Affordable Care Act. "I'm excited about our effort to defund Obamacare," he continued. "We're working to make this the issue when Congress returns in September."
"I was…a liberal," said Lachlan Markay. "Socialist might be more accurate." He was surrounded by liberal thought at Hamilton College, where neither faculty nor students questioned their "knee-jerk" liberal philosophy. And that bothered Lachlan.
Leadership Institute graduate and former intern Chris Perkins was recently named the top Texas pollster by Capitol Inside's bi-partisan "Political Consultants Power Rankings."
Maybe you've heard of some his clients: Texas Rep. Doc Anderson, Texas Rep. Greg Bonnen, Texas Senator Donna Campbell, Texas Rep. Stefani Carter, Texas Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, Texas Rep. Tony Dale, Texas Senator Kelly Hancock, Texas Rep. Charles Perry, Texas Senator Larry Taylor, Texas Rep. James White as well as Texans for Lawsuit Reform, Texas Republican Representatives Campaign Committee, and Conservative Republicans of Texas, just to name a few.
Helping Ted Cruz win and head into the U.S. Senate this month was one of Chris' professional highlights.
"Ted Cruz's win was huge—for many reasons," Chris told me. "It was great to be involved with such a great man—Mr. Cruz—knowing his heart is in the right place and knowing he'll do great things for conservatives in the U.S. Senate."
"The first poll I did for Cruz was in July 2011 and had him at 2 percent (with only a quarter of likely Texas voters that had ever heard him) - and the margin of error was 3 percent. So it was a tall order and a full team effort taking him from 2 percent in the polls into the United States Senate," Chris said. "For me personally, it validates our firm's polling accuracy – which is the best in the country – and validates the methodological tools we provide to campaigns that show how voters move behind certain messages, how they gravitate toward candidates based on what type of information that they are receiving, and what issues we are attacked on that we leave alone."
As America's Independence Day approaches, let's treasure those that let freedom ring.
Commitment to conservative causes, for some, are a lifetime calling.
In the 1980s, George Landrith was a political science and economics major at conservative Brigham Young University and, later, business editor of the Virginia Journal of Law and Politics at the University of Virginia School of Law.
Since school, George's fight for liberty continues.
He was admitted as a member of
the United States Supreme Court bar,
ran for federal office, elected to local office, appointed by the Virginia governor to a business council, and served as senior staff for two organizations in the conservative movement.
"As long as I can remember, I knew of the Leadership Institute," George said.
Born in the Big Apple to Holocaust survivors, college student Henry Kriegel launched the Columbia University Young Americans for Freedom campus group in the early 1980s. His inspiration? It was his parents' fight for survival during the Holocaust and Ronald Reagan's election in 1980.
Henry's passion for survivors moved him across the country to Los Angeles, where he helped Afghan refugees get on their feet and organize a rally against the Soviet Union in the mid 1980s.
Soon after, he was hired by Washington, D.C.-based Committee for a Free Afghanistan as its public relations director. Two years later he became executive director, a position he held until the Soviets completely withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989. His group worked with Rep. Charlie Wilson and other Members of Congress to support the Afghans.
"The movie and book Charlie Wilson's War is very accurate," Henry told the Leadership Institute. "I left Washington, DC in 1990 because I felt I had made my contribution and wanted to join my friends who lived in Big Sky Country—Montana, also known as the last best place. I hardly ever looked back until 9/11, when I watched airplanes strike the World Trade Center, in New York, my hometown."
"Shocked to discover that the terrorists were trained in Afghanistan, I then got re-energized and launched a remote radio PR tour urging the Bush Administration to work closely with the Northern Alliance to exact retribution on the Taliban and Al Qaeda," Henry said. "I appeared on nearly every major radio talk show and several TV programs while traveling to New York and Los Angeles. I haven't stopped my activism since that time."
Now, Henry's active in local issues.
David Chang is a creator—a creator of products, services, strategy, and implementation.
He is president and CEO of the following companies: GreenTech Pacific, a company selling energy efficient technologies; PowerH2O, a premium water bottle company; WealthBridge, Inc., a wealth and business management company that empowers individuals in their financial, investment, and retirement planning; WealthBridge Real Estate, development company acquiring a portfolio of properties; The Cabinet and Stone Factory, a residential and commercial remodeling and renovation construction firm; and Pacific West Import and Export, an import and export merchant company.
But that's not all.
He's also a commander for the Hawaii Army National Guard and previously an intelligence officer.
To boot, David is a former pastor and ministry leader at his church.
And since November, David has been elected to direct the strategy of the Republican Party in Hawaii.
Two years before being elected chairman of the Hawaii GOP (Grand Old Party), David attended two Leadership Institute Activist Schools in Honolulu.
"I was a first-time candidate and was very impressed with the depth of knowledge and experience that you offered. I remember the Leesburg Grid very well, and especially the fundraising tips and the best way to conduct grassroots operations," David told the Leadership Institute.
A few weeks ago, Holly Robichaud, Leadership Institute faculty for grassroots, received the 2011 Pollie Award for campaign brochure design and was named to the 2011 Aristotle's Excellence Awards Republican National Dream Team. The awards were dubbed the "Oscars of political advertising" by Esquire.
Since 2008, Holly has travelled across the country as an Institute faculty member. She has trained conservatives in school topics ranging from campaigns, communications, to get-out-the-vote efforts. This is all in addition to her work as the founder of the Tuesday Associates, a political consulting company; a political analyst for the Boston Herald; and a columnist for Winning Campaigns magazine.
Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, spoke January 5 at the Leadership Institute's monthly Wednesday Wakeup Club Breakfast. Read on for Mr. Phillips' personal comments on the Leadership Institute and to watch the video.
The Leadership Institute trained Mike Watson, founder and president of Control Automation Technologies Corporation, a precision instrument testing laboratory company. Read on for his personal testimony.

Making a Scene: Web guru Kerzman has hand in many different F-M groupsMOORHEAD – Writer, social media guru and public relations expert Kris Kerzman calls himself a "bit of a joiner."

MOORHEAD – Writer, social media guru and public relations expert Kris Kerzman calls himself a "bit of a joiner."
While Kerzman's main gig right now is working for the Arts Partnership to produce ARTSpulse, the group's bimonthly publication, he has a history with some of the metro's business and culture icons.
Kerzman is currently in the process of taking ARTSpulse, an informational guide and newsletter for the F-M Arts Partnership, from print to online publishing. He also works with Jade Presents, the metro's largest producer of concerts, festivals and other events. Kerzman is on the board of the Fargo-Moorhead Visual Artists, a member of the Moorhead Human Rights Commission and the nonprofit communication services organization Third Side Media.
You've worked for some high-profile organizations in this area. How did you get started?
My first job out of college was the Hotel Donaldson; I worked at the front desk for about five years and spent a year in sales and marketing. There was this new fancy thing called Facebook at the time. It's hard to believe there was a time before Facebook, but there sure was.
So you got the hotel started with Facebook as well?
When I worked at the HoDo I might have gotten the first brand page up (in the metro). If we weren't the first, we were one of the first.
They're on Facebook and Twitter now. I'd tweet our lunch specials every morning, which is something they still do.
Then where did you go?
I spent three years at the Plains Art Museum as the communications editor.
What would you consider your forte or passion?
My passions are obviously social media – social media and the way culture moves nowadays. We're seeing a lot of new ways for people to discover culture and find out new and exciting things. I think that's one of the most impressive things about the internet.
I can remember my first email account and all that stuff; it's really amazing to see how far that has come. I think I'm sort of wedded to this idea of seeing how our culture moves through the Internet.
Do you keep up a personal blog?
I try to. I'm not very good at it. I don't always have the time to update it. I do have a website at www.KrisKerzman.com.
Which do you like better: Twitter or Facebook?
(Twitter) is a fantastic tool for people who are information junkies or people who trade in information.
It's trading information in the information marketplace. I get a lot of professional satisfaction out of it.
I've become a vocal opponent of Facebook. I still use Facebook, and I still like it, more or less, but I think it's like a ship with a thousand moving parts.
Also, it doesn't translate well for mobile and I live on my phone.
Facebook is kind of where we live, our personal social media, where we post our thoughts, our pictures of our kids, that kind of thing.
Did you ever have a MySpace account?
Oh yeah. I didn't have a lot of MySpace friends though. I think I was on Live Journal. I was never a part of Friendster.com.
There's a lot of bands you'll see still maintain MySpace profiles. Every once in a while you look up a band and one of their main outlets is a MySpace page.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Salumi
309 3rd Ave S, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810447.599762 -122.330417
Tuesday To Friday From 11:00 AM To 04:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Pioneer Square
Mario Batali's dad Armando curates this incredible salumeria, which is more than a match, meat-wise for anything created by his famous son. By all means, eat a sandwich while you're there, but make sure to take a lot home to eat slice by slice.
Get here now. Armando Batali (father of Mario) offers up quality charcuterie and sandwiches to eat in or takeaway. Ask about their private luncheons.
Sure, there are lines. So what? No matter what you order when you get inside, it's going to be worth the wait. All-time faves include the meatball sandwich, the daily pasta, the incredibly satisfying soups and the hot meat plate with a little bit of everything. Help yourself to a glass of wine on the table and pay for it on the way out. During the holiday season, do not miss the rum cake!
Great People Great Food – Thought the location was super cute and unique. Everything has always been yummy although I have never been to NY so have no comparison. the staff has always been friendly and helpful. Maybe if you don't arrive with an attitude you don't get one from the staff.
Wish there were more – This place has great salami. Their specials are dang good too0. especially the soups. ChumBotta? When i asked, they said it was kitchen sink soup, everything in it including salami! With a hunka bread, that was a meal itself.
Just hype, place is a dump – Long lines ouside for garbage sandwhices. stale bread,Thin slices, poor food handling, dirty counters.Must be living off the Batati name.I would never go back here .
I also don't get it! – This placed would be laughed off the block in Philadelphia, a place for true, delectable Italian sandwiches. I must agree that the counter people are disturbingly slow and preoccupied with their own issues. The line was out the door, (still not sure why) and she is talking to her coworker about what they did last night, slowly arranging salami, one by one, on the bread. Appalling!! The sandwich is ok, but I'll take a south Philly hoagie in a heartbeat. Overall very disappointing, and not worth the hype, or wait. Come ON!
fabu salumi, so so sandwich – I finally made it to Salume yesterday and I don't get it. First the good points: no doubt about it, their salume are excellent. I got the 'winter' salumi, with green, white, and pink peppercorns. The other half dozen choices sounded very good too. The bread for the sandwich was excellent, too; I got the olive oil bread. The other choice was a ciabatta. Now, when they put the salumi on the bread, it's less than fair. I have two complaints: There is an 8:1 ratio of bread to salumi, and they don't remove the rind. I was constantly pulling these plastic like shreds out of my mouth and I think I swallowed several before I realized what was going on. The salume are sliced so thin you hardly get any taste, but you do get the aroma so your brain it tricked into thinking you are eating a hearty sandwich. (very clever that madman) Next time, I'll simply buy some salume and good bread and make my own sandwiches. They do ship so that will save me the wait in line. One other complaint: I didn't like one of the counter girls; she was making a quartet of sandwiches for the person in line in front of me and you'd think she was preparing the bread for communion -- much too preoccupied with herself and taking too long; I mean it's only a sandwich.
Bad customer service – Went with a few friends today at lunchtime. Got there at noon, and we weren't surprised at the long line. But when we finally got in the doors, we could see why the line took over one hour. Absolute and total disregard for the customers waiting on a work day! The staff very calmly and SLOWLY made sandwiches, pausing to talk to anyone for any length of time about just about anything. I have every sympathy when servers are overworked and busy, but these three women barely worked! I felt it was total disregard for their customers, and disregard for the owner! Good meat, but really! I won't return.
Best salami in the country – This was my first trip to seattle, to visit friends. I had heard all about this place and read the reviews. Many are good and a few are not so good. I myself, loved it. Yes the line was long (I am told the busiest days are fridays and all days in July/August) so I arrived at 11. I waited about 20 minutes. I had no clue what to order because it was a bit confusing. I asked for help and ended up with free tastes of everything (not to mention the frequent samples that were passed to the folks waiting in line.) I decided on the mole and mozzarella, with the mini baguette, which i understand is new in the last year, for folks who want a softer bread. My friend had the muffo. We shared, and we loved both. The people working there were extremely busy, but incredibly friendly. The customers all seemed happy. I am going to return next week and give it another whirl, maybe i will try the meatballs, i hear they are a bargain, and huge.
Oxtail............OX NOT !!!!!! – I gave it one star out of respect to Mario.........My family went there after seeing it on No Reservations and because we are big fans of Mario, Anthony Bourdain, and cured meats. It was a Thursday around 11:00 am, waited in line for 30 minutes only to find out that they were out of the first 2 items we ordered. Since it was our first visit two of us settled on the meat and cheese plate thinking how could we go wrong. Well the meat was paper thin, dry and as tough as jerky, the bread was like shoe leather possibly because the server picked up a plate that was already made and sitting to the side, apparently for awhile. Two of our group ordered the oxtail sandwiches which were so greasy it was running down there hands and arms, again the bread was so hard that when you tried to take a bite all of the meat fell out. We were a group of four and could only find 2 seats so we asked the server if any other seats were available ( they DO have a back room seating area) but were told that we would just have to wait until someone left. The service was BAD, the employees RUDE, the food TERRIBLE. Armandino remarked on No Reservations that he never really intended for the place to be such a success and apparently his son's reputation is the only reason it is. I would not recommend it to anyone!
not so hot – Saw it on No Reservations and heard a lot of great things.I am a foodie and this place sucked, service was slow and rude, sandwich was made before they told us they had nothing to put on it, they had run out of condiments but didn't suggest another choice, even charged full price! bread was dry and everything was overpriced!!! The salami....well it was GREAT! but for the experience we had I would not reccomend or return! I think the who;e thing is a little overrated!
Must be nice to be so busy – We went there the other day with some out of town guests. After waiting in line for 35 minutes, we were told that they were "way too busy" to slice what we ordered. Since the product we ordered must be sliced prior to sale, we had to make other selections. Not getting our first choice was a disappointment, especially after the wait. This wasn't our first time there, but each time the service seems to get worse.

Wormadam-S has always been considered a bad Pokemon. Its stats are subpar, its movepool is shallow, and it doesn't have anything that makes it stand out from other Bug-types. Simply put, Wormadam-S is basically an inferior Forretress. Nevertheless, this Pokemon shouldn't be considered complete trash (pun intended), as it has a superb defensive typing with only a single weakness, as well as good overall defenses. These attributes mean that the pink bagworm can be a good team supporter in UU if played correctly.
This is Wormadam-S at its best. Wormadam's main strategy will be to set up Stealth Rock as early as possible, and then attempt to cripple a few Pokemon before it faints. Gyro Ball is its main attacking move, as it gains STAB and is quite powerful due to Wormadam's low Speed stat. Wormadam-S has access to both Toxic and Protect, allowing it to effectively Toxic stall opposing Pokemon. Protect also has the added benefit of enabling Wormadam-S to scout for Hidden Power Fire, as Wormadam's ability, Anticipation, does not allow it to detect the type of Hidden Power.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
There isn't much else that Wormadam-S can do, but there are a few options to choose from. It can utilize Metal Sound, Flash Cannon, Psychic, and a Hidden Power of your choice with a Modest nature to create a special attacking set, but it is usually inferior to every other special attacking Pokemon in UU in all cases. It also has access to Substitute, but with its lack of reliable recovery and a glaring weakness to Fire-type moves, it is not worth using. It is also able to set up rain in the form of Rain Dance, due to it's its great 4x resistance to Grass, which many rain teams struggle with, and can also lure in Fire-types for Pokemon like Kabutops to switch into. Skill Swap is also a viable gimmick move to use on Fire-types, because if Wormadam-S can snag Flash Fire, it will have at least a neutrality to all types.
Checks and Counters
Wormadam-S is not hard to counter. Pretty much any Fire-type is a counter to Wormadam-S, as they can switch in and easily OHKO the floating bug. Arcanine and Houndoom make short work of Wormadam-S with their Fire-type STAB moves, and can also set up on it with ease. Moltres falls in a similar category, and can even set up Substitute as Wormadam-S switches out or attempts to poison it. Altaria can also set up on Wormadam-S with impunity and proceed to sweep, but should be cautious of Toxic (though Natural Cure somewhat remedies this problem). Weezing is another good counter to the pink bagworm, as it resists all of its attacking moves and Toxic, and can OHKO with Fire Blast or Flamethrower. Wormadam-S also has to be wary of Uxie, who can set up dual screens before crippling it with Memento. Registeel, despite not being able to do much to Wormadam-S, can use it as setup fodder and boost its stats with Curse. Basically, don't try hitting it with Grass- or Poison-type attacks and avoid Toxic and you've successfully countered it.

Student Life: Prospective Students
Student Activities
"I absolutely love it here—I truly believe this is the only graduate program where my experience could be this unique."
—Warren Merkel,
SIT Graduate Institute alumni
The Student Activities Office coordinates and supports co-curricular activities that include the arts, sports, and other types of recreation. Located on the second floor of the Student Center, the office sponsors dances, speakers, multicultural events, and various types of musical performances. Instruction in other areas are sometimes offered, depending on student interest. Classes in the past have included drawing, painting, and Latin salsa dance.
The office is supervised by the director of Student Activities and Residence Life and supported by a part-time student activities coordinator. There are also student staff members who gain experience and skills in student activities and events planning while serving the campus community.
Sports and Recreation
Sports and recreation programming is part of the Student Activities Office responsibilities. Every fall, SIT Graduate Institute participates in informal intercollegiate co-ed soccer games, and there are opportunities throughout the year for students to play tennis, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, basketball, and softball.
- Hiking Trails
Local trails are good for hiking, running, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The trails are marked and include scenic rest areas.
- Sports Equipment
The Student Activities Office has sports equipment that includes softball gear, volleyballs, basketballs, and cross-country skis. A refundable deposit is required.
- Weight Room
The weight room, a small facility, is equipped with a universal gym and free weights, a stair climber, an exercise bicycle, and a rowing machine.
- Instructional Activities
Instructional activities are offered on an ongoing basis. Among the activities that have been offered in the past are aerobics, yoga, and kickboxing.
Campus Organizations
Students are encouraged to explore areas of social concern to themselves and the community. Because the levels of interest and initiative are different in each academic year, new student organizations that are maintained on a volunteer basis are formed every year and tend to reflect the interest of the student population. In order to provide some consistency and continuity within the community, the SIT Graduate Institute Student Association (SITSA) has a budget to support the programming of student organizations and other ad hoc educational or social-cultural initiatives.
Student Association
The SIT Graduate Institute Student Association is recognized as the collective voice of the students. Representation includes a student from each degree program. Responsibilities of this group include recognizing official student organizations, allocating funds, providing input on campus policies, and acting as liaison between students, faculty, and the SIT Graduate Institute administration. SITSA also coordinates the appointment of a student representative to the World Learning Board of Trustees.
The groups SITSA has recognized in the past include Amnesty International, the Black Diaspora, the Environmental Working Group, GLoBE (Gays, Lesbians, or Bisexuals Everywhere), the student newspaper, and the Alliance for Women and Gender Relations.

text: According to Apple they won't sell the iPhone in Germany via the Apple-online-store. Since there are no Apple stores in Germany, you will only be able to get the iPhone in T-Mobile stores. Do you think they will sell the phone only in combination with signing up for a new contract? Or will I be able just to go into the T-Mobile store and get me just the iPhone? My thinking is that T-Mobile wants to prevent customers from using phones with other carriers, so they will just hand you over the phone when you sign a contract or upgrade your current plan which is common practice in Germany ... What do you think?

A Warning To Hunters Connecting From Flights with Delta Airlines

A Warning To Hunters Connecting From Flights with Delta Airlines
Email received from the Namibia Professional Hunting Association (NAPHA)...
Dear Members
A Warning To Hunters Connecting From Flights with Delta Airlines
(The Hunt Report - posted October 26, 2012)
Delta Airlines has announced a "clarification" on their baggage check policies that will likely affect many hunters, especially those flying to Johannesburg and connecting on other airlines to a final destination elsewhere in Africa. The policy goes into effect on January 15, 2013. Basically, Delta will not check through any baggage when the connecting flight is booked on a separate ticket. In other words, if you book a flight to Joburg on Delta on one ticket and a flight on South African Airways to Harare on a separate ticket, Delta will not check your bag through to Harare. But if both flights are booked on a single ticket then Delta will check your bags through.
What this means for travelers booking separate tickets is that they will have to claim their bags at their connecting destination and recheck them with the second airline to their final destination. In Joburg, that means you will have to clear Immigration and Customs and go through the firearms importation process before checking in with your second airline. Hunters who must do that will find it necessary to add more time between flights to complete the process in time. (The usual two-and-half hours will not be sufficient, especially at the peak of the safari season when up to 70 hunters may be in line to clear firearms.) The same complication will occur at any other connecting destination, so make sure you are not making such a connection in a country that will not allow you to enter with a firearm in this manner.
Note that this is different from the new policies of American and United Airlines, in which they will not transfer firearms to ANY second carrier, no matter how your flights are ticketed (The only exception is on connections from United to South African Airways and only because of intervention from SAA).
In the past, Delta has agreed to check through baggage to final destinations even when travel has been booked on separate tickets. But according to a notice distributed to travel agents yesterday, October 25, Delta will no longer do this. The alternative, of course, is to book all your travel on one ticket, but according to Steve Turner of Travel with Guns, that typically means more expensive rates. Also, many frequent flyers often book international travel on separate tickets in order to use their free miles, and those travelers need to be very careful how they book their flights now when traveling with firearms. We are indebted to Turner for giving us the heads up on this situation.

Your choices:
So pay Delta more money for your fare (or skip Delta) or
pay Guest houses, or
pay hotels, or
rent guns,
Which costs less and limits the hassle?

I think as traveling sportsmen we need to always watch changing events with the airlines...
As has been mentioned before here and in the news, the airlines are being pinched and looking at ways to make more money from their travelers...
Like, checked bags, weight, bag size limits and so on... I have been trying to find a new rifle and case that meets the 62 inch baggage criteria that the airlines have and some are now starting to charge when these limits are exceed. I am starting to see travelers having to pay to take there long guns as over sized baggage...and the cost to ship your over-sized bag are not on the inexpensive side either.
I do like the carry on bag size & weight restriction that is some times being used. When they dig out the scale and tape measure, someone will have to pay to check there bags...James Grage - New Mexico

I just arrived back from europe flying Lufthansa.on my last leg off my trip leaving Stockholm via Frunkfurt to Johannesburg i brought a big shipment off rare ammunition along with me in normal baggage and asked that they(Lufthansa) book those straight through to Johannesburg.I had no problems at all with bringing the ammo along.I will fly Lufthansa anytime again.
Then i understand Egypt air is the least worried about flying firearms to Africa.While in Stockholm i was present when my clients booked Egypt air for a safari in January and they had no restricktions on fire arms .Well i cannot comment for other airlines but it seems to get more difficult to carry firearms every day.

The medical term for a knocked out tooth is "avulsed."
Teeth - broken; Tooth - knocked out
A permanent tooth that is knocked out can sometimes be reimplanted. In most cases, only permanent, adult teeth are reimplanted into the mouth.
Baby teeth are usually left out.
Tooth accidents are commonly caused by:
Save any tooth that has been knocked out. Bring it to your dentist as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the less chance there is your dentist to fix it. Hold the tooth only by the crown (chewing edge).
You can take the tooth to the dentist by following one of these tips:
Also follow these steps:
If your tooth is badly broken, your nerve endings may be exposed. You will need immediate dental help to avoid infection and pain.
You may not need an emergency visit for a simple chip or broken tooth. You should still have it fixed to avoid sharp edges that can cut the lips or tongue.
If you cannot close your upper and lower teeth together, your jaw may be broken. This requires immediate medical help at a dentist or hospital.

The Health Center, located on the first floor of the Tine Davis Gym on the Montgomery campus, provides a Registered Nurse (RN) to assist students with basic health care needs. These services are free to all students.

Students are seen on a first-come basis unless more immediate care is needed. On the Montgomery campus, the nurse will make on-campus housing visits when necessary, but students should make an effort to go to the Health Center.
Faulkner recommends all students identify, contact, and secure a local healthcare provider covered by the student's insurance prior to registration. For the Montgomery campus, several area healthcare providers have agreed to accept Faulkner students as patients if needed. For all campuses referrals to area emergency rooms will be made if the need arises.

Appendix K and L contains the current Privacy Notice.
Medical/Health Insurance Coverage
Faulkner University cannot be responsible for students' health-related charges. Students are strongly urged to have medical, accident, hospitalization and health insurance from a reputable provider. Student athletes are required to obtain health insurance prior to participation in any sport-related activity and must sign an indemnity waiver releasing Faulkner University from the incursion of penalties or liabilities. International students or students from outside the United States are fully responsible for obtaining health insurance prior to beginning coursework at Faulkner.

While you're deciding whether to spend your weekend working on a six-pack of Labatt suds or still somehow striving toward your NY's resolution of sculpting a six-pack of abs, here's my NHL Saturday Night Six-Pack Special for you to chew on. With a new precedent set by Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke since I last spoke to you, the glorified madness of Deadline Day has seemingly lost a bit of its lustre. A monkey-see monkey-do reaction by eager GMs league-wide has resulted in an early and frankly unprecedented frenzy in the market in the weeks prior to the traditional deadline caving. Thus, with tonnes of new faces zipping off to strange settings and meeting new teammates all over the league, new chemistries will be abuzz, making for an interesting weekend for sure.
Let's cut to the chase...
Colorado @ L.A. (4:00pm ET)
By the Numbers - Frozen Pools
You think Paul Stastny will be affected by his dad's calling out of his boss, amidst rumours out there suggesting he's being shopped?? Either way this will be a statement game for him. So look for him to be Colorado's X-Factor. The Avs are 5th last in the NHL- in terms of both goal differential & goals allowed. The post-all star game stretch has been absolutely hideous for Colorado, finally winning their first game of the month Tuesday........Only to be shellacked 5-1 the next game against the NHL's worst, Edmonton Oilers. L.A. on the other hand, has essentially been the polar opposite!! (Only ONCE losing in regulation over the same span). The Kings are seemingly beginning to put it together and are starting to gain a little momentum.
L.A. – Home Win – H(ProLine)
Detroit @ Buffalo (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers - Frozen Pools
After a phenomenal 5-goal outburst a few weeks back, 'The Mule', Johan Franzen has been almost invisible from the score sheet. This animal is surely due to end this drought soon. The Red Wings meanwhile have dropped consecutive games in regulation for just the 2nd time in 11 weeks! They remain the legitimate Cup Contender that many pundits (including myself) had maintained would be exactly that, pre-season. Buffalo has seen a semi re-emergence of Ryan Miller to the elite level we've come to expect of in the last couple weeks. On that note, he also holds a .951 SV% against the Wings in the last 3 times he faced off against them. Should go right down to the wire.
TIE – T(ProLine)----(Sabres in SO)
Carolina @ Montreal (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers - Frozen Pools
Both the Canes & Habs are sporting sub .500 records over their past 10. The Canadiens are going to have to continue piling on the shots , a department they rank 3rd league-wide, if they hope to have a reasonable shot at posting a W. They'll be hoping droughts from Kostitsyn & Gomez finally come to an end, and recently returned sniper, Mike Cammalleri finds his stride back. On the other side of the rink, is it possible the Caniacs are suffering from post ASG hangover?? The Hurricanes are going to have to show more reason to believe they can hold down the 8-spot in the East. Time for Team Staal to get back into ASG mindset and rise back to respectability.
Montreal – Home Win – H(ProLine)
Washington @ NY Islanders (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers – Frozen Pools
The Caps enter their 4th meeting of the season vs. the Isles, only having given up four goals total thus far. Washington has been hovering around the Mendoza line as of late, sitting on a consistently consistent 'win every other game' trend dating back five weeks. However, the goaltending war is in full effect, essentially going with the '1 game each' rotation, likely until one of Neuvirth or Varlamov falters. The Bad Boys from Long Island have not been shy of their bullying ways and scoring in bunches as of late, but at the end of the day, this one should be a rather ho-hum victory for the visitors, despite the surprising relief netminding of newly acquired Montoya .
Washington – Visitor Win – V(ProLine)
Philadelphia @ Ottawa (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers – Frozen Pools
The NHL leading Flyers (as I write this) have been on an absolute tear, well.. pretty much all season! Sitting at nearly identical 20-8-3 home & 20-7-3 away records, Philly has been ever hotter as of late, taking 29 of a possible 36 points in their last dozen and a half contests. Moreover, they have compiled exactly double Ottawa's win total of 20 & have scored @ a rate greater than 1 goal PG more than the Sens this season. With The Sens in the middle of an all-out fire sale, and a pair of their remaining threats Alfie & Gonchar taking up space on the IR, this one could shape up to be a laugher in Canada's nation capital!
Philadelphia – Visitor Win by 2 or more goals – V+(ProLine)
Boston @ Vancouver (7:00pm ET)
By the Numbers – Frozen Pools
The Boston Bruins have rebounded nicely from a rare 3-game losing skid by turning around and ripping off an equal trio of victories, lighting the lamp 13 times. Amazingly, the Bruins have still somehow managed to continue their fantastic success on the road relative to their very modest 15-12 home ice record. However this trend will certainly be put to the test in this Saturday evening's finale as the Canucks hold title to the NHL's best Home record. Vancouver is slowly but surely getting their blue line troopers back from the infirmary, with the return of Dan Hamhuis & Keith Ballard mid week. They will surely be looking to shake out of the mere .500 clip they've been playing at over the past couple weeks.
