Woman cited for drunken drivingOctober 07,2013
Woman cited for
drunken driving
ROYALTON A Bethel woman escaped injury, but not a criminal citation, following an early-morning accident that destroyed her car Sunday on North Road.
State police, who were summoned to the scene of the one-car crash by 23-year-old Sarah Goobic shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday, said they later arrested Goobic for drunken driving.
According to police, Goobic lost control of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt she was driving and the car went off the road and overturned. It was destroyed, police said.
Goobic, who police said was unhurt, called for assistance from a nearby home and informed police of the accident.
When they arrived at the scene, police said they determined Goobic had been driving under the influence of alcohol and took her into custody. She was later released on a citation to appear at the criminal courthouse in White River Junction on Oct. 22.MORE IN This Just In

Step 5: Cut in Along the Edges
Cover your shoes with booties and your nose and mouth with a respirator that has organic vapor canisters. Strain the finish through a cone filter into a clean plastic watering can, minus a sprinkler head, then pour some strained finish into a small plastic container. Brush a 3-inch-wide stripe beside the baseboards at a point farthest from your exit door. You'll have lap marks if the edge of the stripe starts to dry, so stop after 10 minutes and go to the next step.

ODT Online
ODT /directory
St Kilda Station Officer Kate Hill said a male occupant left
the bedroom where a candle was burning next to a bed, but
when he returned moments later, the bed was on fire.
The man, a woman and a toddler were in the house at the time,
but all managed to escape uninjured.
''It was lucky they were awake, because there was no smoke
alarm in the house,'' she said.
When the emergency call came in about 11.50pm on Saturday,
the fire was relatively contained, but by the time the fire
brigade arrive three minutes later, the house was well
alight, she said.
''The gentleman at the house said he didn't realise how fast
the fire was, and I told him we're not making it up.
''Fire is fast; smoke alarms do save lives and just paying a
wee bit more attention to ensure we have fire-safe practices
can avoid people losing everything by something that could
have been avoided.
''It's heart-breaking when things could be avoided, and it's
just really lucky that these people were awake, because that
fire happened so, so fast.''
A neighbour, who declined to be named, said the fire was
''It was a real inferno - it was unreal. Thank God it wasn't
windy because the house is only 2m away. My house would have
gone up too.''
Ms Hill said the damage to the house was ''pretty
significant'' and it was not known if the owners or the
occupants had insurance.
''It's a timely reminder for everyone to ensure that they do
follow fire-safe behaviour.
''If you don't have smoke alarms, get some. If you would like
it checked, call the local fire station,'' she said.
''And if anyone wants more information about being fire-safe
around the home, you can contact your local fire station for
a free in-home fire safety check.''
Firefighters stayed at the scene for almost four hours.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
You say that people cannot afford to not have contents
insurance, but when you are in a situation where paying for
the basic necessities is a daily struggle, such insurance can
end up being considered a luxury item by many today. It
seems that you might be one if the fortunate who can afford
it, and that is good. What is not good is criticising
those who cannot.
Thankfully, we have a Fire Department whose primary goal is
to save lives and protect property, regardless of the
societal or financial status of those who need their services
- which is as it should be, IMHO.
A basic insurance cover would also assist in replacing the
lost possessions, while this article doesn't clearly identify
whether or not the occupants had insurance but the thread
below does give some indication.
Interestingly a fire service levy makes up part of the
insurance premium and those that don't have insurance are
effectively receiving free fire service attendance, in some
countries insurance companies issue policy holders a plaque
to place on the outside of their property, no plaque and the
truck drives away.
People cannot afford to not have contents insurance, as the
Chch earthquakes have clearly identified so why do the rest
of us continue to subsidise those that continue to take the
risk, after all how many ODT stories are there that go on to
say the occupants had insurance, not many compared to those
that don't.
This young couple and their almost 3 year old daughter lost
almost everything they own in this fire, and a Facebook Page
has been set up for those who would like to help them with
household items or donations. The name of the Page is
"Help rebuild a Young Family", and it is run by a close
friend of the 'male occupant'.

Video Production and Marketing for Business
The importance of including video in your online marketing strategy is increasing for businesses, both big and small. In a web-motivated business world, most people have become visual learners. Google has integrated images and video in search results for the last few years; they call it universal search. This is a direct article quote from Google found on this link. "Google's vision for universal search is to ultimately search across all its content sources, compare and rank all the information in real time, and deliver a single, integrated set of search results that offers users precisely what they are looking for. [Google] incorporates information from a variety of previously separate sources – including videos, images, news, maps, books, and websites – into a single set of results. At first, universal search results may be subtle. Over time users will recognize additional types of content integrated into their search results as the company advances toward delivering a truly comprehensive search experience."
If you aren't using video on your website, you're losing the battle. 51% of small businesses plan to utilize video in 2016. Arm your business with the tools it needs to succeed. The latest Google Panda Update is now favoring Video content sites. Search engine spiders or googlebots are incapable of crawling your videos on your website. So how do you then have a video and still stay relevant for the web spiders. Search engine optimization for video is how. Using video content increases website conversions and user engagement. Studies done by many search engine experts have shown that with proper SEO performed a video is 50 times more likely to get a first-page Google ranking than a regular text page on competitive SERPS. Here are a few statistics that will help convince you of how necessary video is for marketing:
- It is estimated that 68% of all Internet users in the U.S. Watch video.
- In March 2009, 14.3 billion videos were viewed in the United States.
- Today, that number is over 33 billion per month.
- Every minute 48 hours of video get uploaded on YouTube
Follow these steps to get a professional video on your website, YouTube, and other social media sites to increase exposure.
Let Vab Media help you storyboard and develop a concept for your video.
With our team of videographers, your video will be professionally produced and will be sure to make an impact.
Finally, Vab Media can help you distribute and market your video online.

AES E-Library
An Experimental Verification of Localization in Two-Channel Stereo
In two-channel stereo the ratio of intensities between two loudspeakers is varied, and at low frequencies the differences in times-of-arrival of the sounds create phase differences between the two ears. These phase differences mimic those experienced in natural hearing, and thus the perceived localization is similar. The experiments described in this paper test the localization provided by stereo in actual use. The perceptions of listeners were collected and the acoustic signals at the entrance to their ear canals were recorded for analysis. Localization under optimum conditions gave results which are substantially similar to what is predicted by theory. Localization in sub-optimum conditions, such as at very low frequencies and such as are encountered in automobiles, was found to be substantially in error.

Pontiac resident Leonard Briscoe had a simple question on Tuesday for the cityĺs mayoral candidates, who are running in a city thatĺs without an emergency manager for the first time since 2009.
ôI would like to know whoĺs in charge now,ö Briscoe said.
Incumbent Mayor Leon Jukowski and challenger Deirdre Waterman said the state is still supervising the cityĺs finances, in the form of an appointed city administrator and Receivership Transition Advisory Board Ś and that theyĺll work to return to full local control.
ôI have a go-to attitude, and weĺre going to do everything we can to get out from under receivership,ö Waterman said.
Jukowski said the length of the stateĺs oversight will depend on city officials.
ôFull control will come back when we convince Lansing we are capable of handling it,ö he said.
áThe candidates spoke at a well-attended town hall organized by the District 7 Citizensĺ District Council at the Salvation Army Pontiac Corps Center.
Jukowski said heĺs kept his promises and that city services have improved in the last four years.
ôI said I would do whatever it took to get more police officers on the street. I stuck to my guns,ö he said. ôI was the only Pontiac official who favored going with the Oakland County Sheriffĺs (Office). Virtually everyone agrees itĺs been a good thing.ö
Waterman, who finished first in the August primary, said voters want change. She cited her work as chairwoman of the Pontiac Public Library board as an example of successful leadership.
ôIĺm proud of what weĺve achieved at the library. Itĺs on sound footing now. We have grown it and made it thrive and made it so useful to the citizens of Pontiac,ö Waterman said. ôThatĺs an example of how you set a strategic plan, set an example, build collaboration and move forward.ö
Waterman said in her closing comments that sheĺd set a different tone if elected.
ôI would not, on one hand, expect to work with the council that I called Ĺstuck on stupid,ĺö Waterman said. ôI wouldnĺt do that.ö
She was referring to a comment made by Jukowski after he vetoed a council resolution that challenged former Emergency Manager Lou Schimmelĺs final order.
The mayor said he can work together with the council, but wonĺt accept meetings filled with personal attacks and racially-charged comments.
ôAnybody that has been watching City Council meetings for the last 3 1/2 years (and) the kinds of things that have been said there knows that we need to change the political culture in this city.ö

Kinawley freshwater pearls
So why
bother looking for pearls if not for profit? "They are lovely
objects and it was always a great day out in the countryside"
a new articlecontribute your article to the site
Article by Brian Willis.
the 1970's Omagh man Jim Sloan used to be a 'Sligger
man'. That was the nickname the Kinawley locals
gave to the folk who used to hunt for freshwater
pearls in their nearby Cladagh river.
He was first introduced to this fascinating hobby by
his old fishing colleague Eddie Chesters, now sadly
deceased, and together they would go off for the day
to Kinawley in County Fermanagh to search for these
illusive beautiful objects.
The freshwater pearl is grown inside a mussel and is
probably the result of some foreign object, perhaps
a grain of sand, getting inside the shell which the
mussel then shifts to one end and covers with layers
of pearl substance.
How did Jim and Eddie go about finding these
pearls? "All you needed was a home-made wooden
box about nine inches square, with a sheet of
glass set into the bottom. (They are holding
these boxes in this photograph.) You held
this on the surface of the river to look at the
sandy floor and this simple device stopped the
reflections on the ripples."
But how did they actually pick up the mussels?
Jim told me that Eddie used a cleft stick but
Jim preferred to just use his hands. That's one
of the mussels on the end of Eddie's stick.
Apparently there was very little money to be
made from this hobby and Jim Sloan gave away most
of the pearls he found to friends and relatives.
One of the nicest pearls he discovered however,
he set into a ring and gave to his sister Kathleen,
on the occasion of her graduation.
Looking for the perfect one.
So why bother looking for pearls if not for profit?
"They are lovely objects and it was always a great day
out in the countryside" explained Jim "Sometimes the
children would come with us too and we would picnic
beside the river. Also it was addictive". I suggested
a bit like the buzz the old gold prospectors got. He
agreed and said that once started, it was hard to stop
looking for that elusive "big " one.
However, gradually the pickings began to dwindle,
probably because of pollution. Then the death
knell for the Sligger men came when fishing for
freshwater pearls became illegal and the mussels
declared an endangered species. (Caught pearl
fishing in the rivers of Hungary or Sweden and
you'll end up in gaol!)
The Strule
I asked Jim why did they bother to travel the 35 miles
or so to Kinawley for pearls when the River Strule in
Omagh was renowned for them? He explained there have
not been mussels in the Strule for many years, again
because of pollution, but also because of the extensive
dredging of that river.
So another tradition and countryside pastime disappears
into the history books, and 'Sligger men' are destined
to live on only in web pages.
Freshwater pearls also used to be gathered from
the river Bann near Banbridge, County Down, and
the Council crest of Banbridge District Council
commemorates this fact with a depiction of mussels
either side of the shuttle and spindle on the
green section.
Stacey Smith - May '05
My father had a great interest and through this secured a
£70,000 grant for improving the waters so that pearls
(these seeds were planted on dolligans gills and the they
would fall to the river bed) could be planted in the river
bann the money was given to the angling clubs in banbridge
and clonduff for the water ways in the areas from spelga right
to river bann and beyond to cultivate these pearls.
Unfortunately my father died on 28th May 04, aged just 51
and right up until he died he was working tirelessly to secure
long term funding from local government so that the work could
continue and that the river would once again be inhabited
by these pearls, and generally be enhanced. He fought for
his life for 9 months, but just 2 weeks prior to his death
the funding for the ongoing work was secured. The project
is called 'The Desi Smyth Pearl Mussell Project.' One day
prior to his death he received the pearl of greatest price.

I've just obtained a Comtrend 536+ ADSL2+ router and I've easily managed to setup a proper LAN/wifi configuration for my home machines, laptops, smartphones and such. I'm more than used to do it.
The awful thing comes when I'm using its wifi capabilities, because I've discovered that certain webpages/domains are just being blocked when connecting via wifi. On the other hand, when I browse these pages via my main desktop PC (XP), which I connect to the router via LAN, I have no problem whatsoever. So I'm basically clueless, because I've started to look for some kind of wifi/filter configuration menu inside the router's web management interface, but no luck.
One could say "probably it's your firewall/antivirus/whatever on your wifi machines the one interfering". Well, I've discarded that because it happens with a XP machine (no antivirus), but also with a Jolicloud netbook, an iTouch and an Android phone. And no matter the web-browser I use (Opera, IE, wget, telnet:80) web browsing these pages causes a time-out connection error. BTW, it's not only happening when web browsing but also with other programs, like for example Dropbox, which remains always in "connecting" state, when run on my wifi machines.
Examples of webpages working:
-ALL google services/pages/market
-some FEW other...
Examples of webpages NOT working:
-MANY other
I can't seem to perceive a pattern on the working/non-working pages, so I'm still clueless. I've tweaked my DNS settings (inside the router and inside my non-working devices) and no luck either. I CAN access webpages living inside my "working PC"'s apache from the "faulty" devices, but as soon as the router needs to look for webpages on the real world internet, no luck.
BTW, pinging ALL the faulty webpages/services works ALWAYS, so I would say it's not a DNS problem, as I can even see how DNS appears as properly solved when pinging.
Whenever I reconnect my old (and sometimes faulty) Amper Xavi 7768R wifi router, and with no change on the non-working devices wifi settings, EVERYTHING works seamlessly again. So it's something inside my new router which I should address.
Any hint? I don't know what to look for now...

All comments excluding tick-boxed quick-comments
In addition to the good introduction to wxPython, this set of tutorials strengthened my understanding of Classes. Now off to learn how wxGrid fits into this basic framework as I intend to create a specialized spreadsheet application.
This series has sparked my interest, which brings me to the fact that a image sizer wasn't created for the image viewer.
In which case I am now working on an image sizer that will sense the size of the image uploaded and if it is bigger than a set default it will resize the image to that default. You can then resize the image to your liking using a Image > Resize > 10% - 100% MenuBar option.
Would I be allowed to post a video or two explaining how to make that once it's done?
Excellent series. Refreshed my memory on doing gui stuff in with other packages. I haven't searched the website yet but I hope to find how to use py2exe and something that I could use to create an installer so I coud distribute the program to non python users
I am reading Beginning Python By Magnus Lie Hetland this series really filled the viod that is in his book. Great series. Would like to see more on wx.
Great series - thanks.
Great first video, don't know about the others, even after signing up and logging in I still could not watch them, shame :-(
Great first video, don't know about the others, even after signing up and logging in I still could not watch them, shame :-(
Great series.Very useful
Thank you very much for putting this series together. It gave me a good introduction to writting GUI apps in Python.
Ian, thanks for this series. it was excellent. i am thinking about moving from vba to python to build sophisticated investment models.
Review of Worked solution - Splash Screen
This was a great series. I've never done any GUI programming, but I have a need to create some gui applications. This series really helped me get up and running. It covered many of the topics that I need to develop a useful application.
I work in research and development and I'll be developing some internal software tools to collect and analyze data. I'm getting ready to write a program to analyze scope traces. I plan to draw the traces on a bitmap and have movable cursors to read values from each of the traces. I think I've got a firm foundation from this series to get me up and running.
Thanks very much.

Hi Ian,
This series is very helpful. Also mentioned on the Learners Group, opening the browser window does happen as planned. However, the browser opens inside the Python dialog window. How can this link become improved to open the browser in its own window?
You also need to know your tutorials have "broken the ice" with Python and leads my interest with future applications including working with Python utilized in Maya 3D. Maya has script code known as MEL that is effective with Python.
Thank you.
Of course I ran into the issue with the Copyright symbol. I didn't read the comments on this page until after I posted on the google group. Silly me :) I really liked the series. I'm learning Python because I've moved to Ubuntu for my main pc and I'd like to contribute to the Open Source Community. I have a bit of programming exp but nothing extensive. Keep up the great work!!
thanks for this nice series. It was a good refresher on wxPython and gave me a good wx template for my own application.
Just to add my 2 cents:
* It would be nice to learn something about the differences between wx.Image and wx.Bitmap. Why do two different classes exist to handle pictures? How do they fit together?
* maybe adding the encoding to the source like "# coding: latin-1" or so might make sense. Otherwise the copyright symbol in the triple quoted string of the "about text" might give a Non-ASCII character warning irritating for beginners.
* While building the splash screen you are using
if os.path.exists(SPLASH_SCREEN_FILENAME):
to check if the file is present.
This however does not catch cases where the file is present but not readable (e.g. due to missing permissions). Furthermore its possible (while unlikely) that the file disappears between the call to os.path.exists and the actual loading of the file.
When reading a file I usually just try to do so catching errors while actually opening the file to avoid the issues named above.
f = open(SPLASH_SCREEN_FILENAME, "rb")
except IOError:
splash_image = wx.ImageFromStream(f, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY, -1)
wx.SPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN | wx.SPLASH_TIMEOUT,
None, -1)
* last one: It would be nice to be able to comment on a complete video-series and not just on single videos. I liked all the videos in the wx image viewer tutorial but - well, I just did not want to write 14 comments :)
Video published, thanks for contributing to ShowMeDo

text: I must say I've been very impressed by what I've seen of this lad so far. He looks to be the real deal and you couldn't have asked for a better coach than King Carlo, under whose tutelage this lad is going to shine. Deft footwork, good off-the-ball movement, and once he translates that into timed runs/goals, he becomes the heir apparent to Lampard.Wilshire, McEachran, and Rodwell seem to be the future for the English team. With lads like these flourishing under foreign coaches and honing their skills, together with a successful bid for 2018, it may be a distinct possibility that your nation wins the World Cup. I also see young exciting players like Carroll and Albrighton coming through and must say, am filled with mixed emotions. Happy for England, but saddened by the Azzuri's plight. Not since Baggio have Italy produced a genuine match-winner. Del Piero was scuppered by injury early on and although he had a good career, never quite fulfilled his prophecy. Totti was always too temperamental and was always more loyal to Roma. Pirlo is the closest the Azurri have come to producing another Baggio. Although we won in '06, we didn't deserve it. We probably deserved it more in '94.Let's hope I'm not asking for too much by attempting a football discussion here! :))

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 443 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Adam Adam I bought this kayak in store. when I went to put it in the water it had a big crack in the bow and was filling water. I brought it back to the store and they replaced it with a new one. it is fairly decent but the first one was a real disappoint. You shouldn't have this kind of problem with a $500 boat July 26, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Plantgirl Field & Stream kayak I really enjoy my Field &Stream Kayak. I usually pack a cooler and lots of gear when I go so it's nice to have the room that it provides. I sometimes take my 75lb Pit Bull with me and she rides in with my legs. The stability that this kayak provides is awesome. It is not easily tipped over so that is a must with a dog on board. Only draw back for me is the weight. I struggle to get this 12' 60lb kayak on my Jeep by myself, but it's not impossible. Good thing I'm a strong female, but I suspect as I age it will be too much to tackle alone. I have had it for two years and have enjoyed many adventures in it so far. Highly recommend if your looking for a big stable kayak. It holds up to 500bs which is great when you need to haul other friends gear because they bought a little kayak without enough storage. July 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buck Frickin awesome! We bought both colors. I added a pole holder and paddle holder. In heavy winds to the flats and rivers this kayak does the job. The grand river to lake superior pictured rocks. Kid use and us at 50 and still no problems. Lots of storage under front, like soft cooler. Dry stuff in the back or remover it for more room. Also storage under the back. We load them up and go all day. Great seat for sore backs. foot pad popped off once but they pop right back on, heavy plastic. Also beware of thin kayaks, this is a thick one. You wont scrape or starch threw it. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. We got them on sale for $300 each. July 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave Great staff and great product.. Can't beat Dick'S prices and service! The kayak is everything and more than advertised. July 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bibs Great big guy Kayak I'm 6'4" 300 pounds. I fit great and it's steady enough for me. Got it on sale too! July 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jake212 Definitely reccomended Great kayak, and good service. My storage pod came busted so I went back to Dick's for the warranty and they fixed me up within a day. July 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave Great product and would buy again Great help from our salesperson. She did a awesome job. July 13, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by teejay1980 great kayak for the money. This is my 3rd kayak my last being a more expensive perception with about the same setup as the eagle run. I like the eagle run better it's faster and tracks better it also seems to be about the same quality of construction and build. The only drawbacks to me are the footpegs are hard to adjust and keep in place and the cockpit is a little bit narrow for the size and weight capacity of the kayak. July 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by mac1059 sturdy, stable, easy to paddle and holds almost as much as a canoe ! Every aspect of this boat is great, yes it's a bit hefty but the hull is thick and can take a real beating ! I've put well over a 100 miles of river running on mine and yes the floor pops upwards, but doesn't affect the handling at all.The flaws are the weak foot pegs, mine broke in the first 2 runs, and the seat back that just broke this year.I replaced the foot pegs with a alum. and nylon set of Yakimas from Ebay.Have yet to find a replacement for the seat back. might just have to make one. July 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by beernutz So far it has been a great kayak I bought my wife a Hobie i11s inflatable kayak for our anniversary earlier this year which she loved so much that she encouraged me to buy one too so we could yak together. While looking on craigslist I saw an Eagle Run for sale which looked nice but it turned out the owner wanted almost exactly what a new one at the current sale price would cost me ($399). So right after that, a couple months ago, I went to Dicks and bought one new and we've now used it about 10 times, mostly in the brackish water rivers near Mobile, AL but also in Powell Lake and the ICW near Panama City Beach, FL. The kayak has been great every place we've taken it. I added a gel seat insert I found on amazon which helps when you are in the kayak more than a few hours. My wife's Hobie seat is still much more comfortable but that kayak cost more than 5x what I paid for this one. I added a big noodle float, cut in half, to the front end for extra buoyancy which I am not sure I need but it was only $3 for extra piece of mind. I have a small cooler we take with us instead of the back compartment so I haven't used that at all. I did spurge a bit and buy a nice Field and Stream lightweight paddle at about twice the cost of the one the salesman recommended but I am really glad I got it after having paddled very long distances. So far this kayak has been a great first time kayaker buy. July 11, 2016

SAN DIEGO, CA (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Funny thing about us Americans, we either like our toys really big, like TV's, or really small, like our cell phones. The medical world works the same way, and now, hitting doctor's offices across the country is an ultra sound machine the size of a smart phone. It gives doctors a snapshot of your heart in a matter of seconds.
From a fighter jet to speedboats, Clyde Davenport's life revolves around the small stuff.
"It's pretty good detailed work to put the radios inside," Clyde Davenport, a congestive heart failure patient, told Ivanhoe.
So it's fitting his doctor now uses one of the world's smallest ultra sound machine to check his heart. Beyond the standard stethoscope usage, the Vscan gives doctors a glimpse inside the heart.
"It clearly has taken out some of the guess work," Tony Demaria, M.D., at UC San Diego, said.
Doctor Tony Demaria carries it with him all the time, viewing the size, shape and function of the heart.
"One of the major metrics in terms of heart disease is how well the heart pumps and how much blood it pumps and it's difficult, almost impossible to get that info from a physical exam, but now with the hand held device we can see exactly how well it pumps," Dr. Demaria explained.
He says this won't replace traditional, larger imaging devices, but it will give doctors an easy way to test patients fast, and see any problems. Good news, since heart disease causes 26 percent of deaths in the U.S.
After three heart attacks, 14 stents and a defib, a quick pulmonary peek-a-boo gives Clyde confidence that his heart will keep running …
"It's good therapy for me," Davenport said.
So his boats can do the same.
Doctor Demaria says pocket ultrasounds are designed to spot possible problems not diagnose them. In addition, they're a strictly a screening device and shouldn't replace traditional EKG's. One hand-held device costs 79 hundred dollars compared to an average 59 hundred-dollar EKG unit. MORE

How do I (K1, P1, K1, P1, K1) into next st?
I am trying to do a Lacy Bubble pattern and one of the instructions states that I have to: (K1, P1, K1, P1, K1) into next st?
How do I do that???
Any help would be great!
You knit into the stitch as normal, but don't slide it off. Bring the yarn forward between the needles and purl into the stitch again, but don't slide it off. Keep knitting and purling and knitting into the same stitch and only slide it off when you've done all the stitches in it. Then slide it off.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I can't believe it was that simple!

Read an Excerpt
Specialist Blake was high: in less than two hours his guard tour would be over. Wired from drinking coffee all night he was having trouble focusing on his fields of fire. His eyes kept moving -- first peering into the neighboring garden's inky blackness, then up the deserted side street and finally out across the large rice paddy directly across from his perch. The night's half-moon was down, but some of its few scraggly rays still flittered about. It was this feeble illumination that kept making objects flash into and out of existence. Blake felt sure that come daylight each moving object would prove to be no more than a banana tree, a palm, or some spiky fern. The entire city of Hue lay covered in what he called snail slime, that heavy dew common before dawn along Vietnam's coast. This morning there was something extra dimensional about that glaze that made things sparkle and jump about: made animate that which could never move, just stray photons bouncing off goo.
He knew the terrain well. In full daylight he had sat in this exact spot studying the wide variety of shrubs and trees below, writing a letter home filled with abundant detail about many of the exotic specimens. He had hoped to please his mother an avid gardener and grower of blue ribbon zinnias. His letter had been a success. Her reply came back in eight days, a round-trip military post office record: one only achievable if Mom replied the same day his letter arrived.
She had updated him on the home front. Blake's former girlfriend had announced her engagement to a University of Wisconsin football player, a former all-state guard from Madison. Their wedding wouldbe June eleventh, in Cassville, at the Lutheran Church. Cindy Hoak and Jim Pope had sent an invitation for Dave and the family.
He was beginning to relax a little when something jumped on the periphery, beyond centerfield, and he totally lost track of Mom, the home front, and tropical flowers. Forcing his eyes to find something before it found him, he went in a heartbeat from idle to full steam ahead. Still unsure of anything, he kept his eyes moving, realizing the more he stared the less he saw.
There! Near the far wall, a quarter-block away, something did shift. He could swear to it. Breaking into a cold sweat he slid down, making as little sound as possible. In Nam any movement, between nine and five, required immediate attention. Any hesitation and a lot of guys might die. Blake summed up his response to just this sort of situation in General Rule Number Eleven, an item he'd appended to his own Military Advisory Command's Code of Conduct. He religiously carried the little card in his wallet ever since some officer handed it to him during in-processing at Tan Son Nhut Field in July. Shoot first and often, he'd written in blue ink on the back of the card that General Westmoreland himself had signed.
Blake jumped and twitched, his nerves pumped full of mainlined adrenaline. Sliding out of the high fan backed chair, his throne for over five hours, he slithered along until he reached cover behind a sandbag wall, a squat layer of protection against small arms fire that might be incoming any second. Breathing hard, struggling to regain some composure, he stretched up, extending his neck enough so only his left eye showed. He no longer saw movement by the wall or anywhere else. All seemed quiet on the garden front.
He felt foolish for allowing jittery nerves to jerk him around. Part of him was agitating for getting back to normal and another part voted for one last garden check. He went with option two. His recurring nightmare always began down there. In it a VC assault always came right before sunrise while Tropo House lay fast asleep and whoever was on guard didn't sense trouble and gave no warning. First an explosion would turn Blake's two-man room arc welder white, and he would wake flying through mid air an instant before crashing down into a jumble of footlockers, shower shoes, ammo packs, and boxes of Sony recording tapes. While somersaulting, he'd hear sounds: wood snapping, then glass shattering and finally Sergeant Anderson hollering.
"Gooks in my compound. They are past the wire! You're on your own; everyone's on their own!"
He would sit up in a daze half a room away from his bunk starring at Private First Class Campbell of Little Bend Forge, Georgia, as Campbell came crawling out from beneath an overturned wall locker. Struggling to his knees, the Georgia bulldog would raise a heavy machine gun, one that came from God only knew. Swearing and cursing Campbell would swing his huge weapon towards the door, moving in slow-mo with his arms locked tight. Before he got halfway around something would blow the door, and Campbell's face would implode into a rubbery Halloween mask, a smashed-in bloody thing with no discernable structure. Then his roommates' head, just the back of it, would explode in a plume of red-hot plasma and cover everything in an oily pink and gray slime.
Blake added the Technicolor to the dream's brain burst recently, after seeing a similar mixture of brains, blood, and bone chips covering the walls of a Vietnamese National Police pillbox three blocks away. Andy had led the whole team over there on the morning after, before the cops could clean up their own mess. Inside lay fifteen broken, moldering corpses, who were caught in the act of sleeping by a Viet Cong sapper team that came slinking through three rows of rolled barb wire and a boatload of claymore anti-personnel mines. The VC did their grisly work without a single casualty.
"Not even a blood trail," Sergeant Matson remarked, to nobody in particular. He was the site's most experienced infantry combat killer.
Sergeant Anderson wanted to wake up his men by showing them the carnage inside that small concrete coffin. He wanted them to smell, see, taste, and feel real death, real close. Andy had put the fear of God in them; as if they needed it, when he swore he would take down any man of his who lived through such a fuck-up.
Blake's dream always accelerated after Campbell's head popped. It would be running at full speed by the time a Vietnamese wearing baggy black peasant pants, a dark purple shirt, and a red headband jumped into the room. The VC carried a Russian assault rifle. He'd wave his AK-47 around, making practiced arcs before zeroing in on Blake. Then the nightmare would end, with Blake hearing screams and feeling rounds tearing in.
Still unsure if anything was up, Blake stopped thinking about his damn nightmare and started sliding sideways, to get well away from his former chair. He wanted to get some distance between where he might have last been seen. Better safe than sorry... or dead. After getting away, he pitched sideways up against another pile of weepy sandbags. Semi-automatically, dragging down his right thumb with a banjo plucker's practiced motion; he flicked the safety switch on his Colt AR-15 rifle. His fingers moved across the weapon's black plastic pistol grip and found its magazine. Assured he had a weapon with twenty rounds in its clip, he slowed his breathing and chambered one live round. Only when fully armed did he squirm and squiggle up and over the five-high pile of sandbags and become 'Blake the cobra' ready to strike.
Peeking down, keeping both eyes sweeping left and right, he now saw a single mottled pattern. It looked like a carrousel horse, moving not around but up and down, and coming his way. Sneaky bastards! The VC probably thought he'd fallen asleep and hoped to get him by using one man and a single grenade. He smiled. They'd made one big mistake. The lone Viet Cong would be moving into his kill zone any second and he would need only one trigger squeeze to create some oblivion. But holy shit! The guy was covering a lot of ground. Twisting furiously to zero in, Blake banged an elbow on the balcony's concrete rail. In spite of the pain, he maintained fire control, holding back, keeping the faith, waiting to rock and roll. He recalled a piece of advice he'd learned from Roy, Gene, or Hop-a-long on Saturday TV.
"Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes, partner."
When those Oriental whites became visible his index finger would caress the trigger, and then it was lights, camera, action, squeeze, fire. And, as taught in basic training, he pulled gently, not flinching, fully prepared to absorb his weapon's sharp recoil. But nothing happened and he pulled harder and still felt no report, no pain in his ill-positioned clavicle. With a growing sense of dread he started jerking the trigger off, committing the worst sin in his Army's list of shalt nots.
He let out a sigh; a we-who-are-about-to-die acknowledgement that the new weapon he purchased from an Air Force sergeant for the royal sum of two hundred fifty dollars was locked on safety. His casual flicking motion had not done the trick and things were speeding up, just as in his dream. In a flash the enemy would get him. He kept groping for the safety, but the Goddamn thing had vanished. He'd wasted a lot of money on his little black weapon, betting it could help him stay alive. Very soon, he'd be dead, just another Killed-in-Action statistic rolling off Walter Cronkite's silver tongue on the CBS Nightly News. If he only had the M-14 rifle his army had issued him in July, he would be sending some VC commies to gook heaven. Would it hurt? Would he be conscious all the way down? Who would take charge of his AR-15? Probably nobody. Everyone would see it as bad ju ju.
When the enemy broke cover, she was grinning, but only for an instant before shrieking, dropping her rice broom, and fleeing.
"Mother fucker! Some old house ba."
Blake's words roared out; propelled by pent up fear. They shattered the morning calm to the degree his rifle should have. Some old woman doing morning chores had been his entire band of saboteurs. What if he lit up that old lady? How could he ever live with that? What in hell could he have been thinking, imagining VC coming through that garden space with those high walls and no way out? Everything seemed so clear, now that he had time to think. How could he be such an asshole?
Caught in his own private maelstrom, Blake didn't notice a shadow closing in from behind. He sensed no motion until he heard a hoarse whisper and felt warm breath tickling his neck. Leaping, he headed over the rail, but a pair of strong hands grabbed his jacket before disaster struck.
"Steady mister. Your dedication is admirable."
Blake heard the deep rumbling baritone of Sergeant Anderson, the big headman of Hue's over the horizon radio unit, making a sound that could never be mistaken or ignored. Humming out each word, Andy went on.
"You, if I'm not mistaken, have been off duty an hour. Yet here you are, a lone sentinel, an extra minutes man, protecting my house. That's good, except you seem to be doing all this with your head tucked up your ass."
Andy's plump face always appeared happy. His look of indifference made him dangerous to be around, though never when the chips were down. The flesh on Andy's brown cheeks pressed up and narrowed both eyes into slits. He chuckled, making a sound loud enough to cause someone sleeping off the balcony to moan and thrash about. When he spoke again the sound rumbled up from down deep.
"What's keeping my best man up here? That is all I wonder."
Blake stumbled to catch up, reacting with blind panic and very little thought. Had he gotten Andy out of bed by calling out? With infuriating dullness he sifted clues, trying to understand. Finally, he noticed the light. The sun seemed high, or a least higher than it should be. Had Andy said off duty? With glacial speed things started coming together. He must have been screwing himself over for more than an hour. His noise hadn't gotten Andy up. In fact, the site chief didn't seem to know what had gone down. With one base tentatively covered Blake started talking.
"God, Andy! You scared the crap out of me. What if I'd jumped off this balcony?"
"Why then I'd have put you in for a Purple Heart and maybe a Silver Star... posthumously, of course. No member of my unit ever received such high awards."
"Yeah, and you wouldn't even miss me," Blake jabbed back. "Who'd align your damn traveling wave tubes?"
"You being a KIA would disturb me," Andy said, displaying his off balance sideways smile. "But this is war; everybody is disposable. I'd miss your impertinence though."
"Well," Blake shot back, dropping into the redneck slang his site chief enjoyed. "I sure am glad ah didn't vault over this here rail and get all tangled in that mess of barb wire down thar. Wouldn't want you deprived of your best common acerbic weed?"
Andy chuckled, inflating his cheeks like a puffer fish. He was on an even keel, but Blake knew he wanted something. Andy was getting control by gritting his teeth. After several false starts he got it right and went on.
"When you weren't in your bunk it crossed my mind you had gone off on a long shack up. Then I come out here to pay homage to a new day and here you are waiting for me. Is this a great world or what?"
"What you need, Sarge?" Blake said, trying not to sound upset.
"Wanted to find out how you're doing with PFC White, getting him to help?"
Blake sighed. Sergeant Matson, Tropo Site's so-called head of security, standing around flatfooted while the VC blew Andy's jeep all to hell over at Mister Dinh's Car Washy was an event with the potential to impact every signalman's life. Today might be Blake's day of reckoning. Matson, feeling like a gamecock, had posted a copy of the Military Police report clearing him of all charges on the site's bulletin board, just to rub everyone's nose in it. The whole affair had been a giant affront, not only to common sense, but Andy's authority. The formal report of the acquittal must have reached headquarters by now. That scrap of paper would add to Andy's increasing loss of face. In the past couple of months, ever since the Defense Communications Agency started digging into Andy's shit, he'd been losing steam, acting like a tire with a slow leak. Recruiting Blake to get evidence for a Matson court martial was an act of desperation. PFC White was Blake's closest buddy, but White, like Andy, was black. Blake wondered why Andy didn't play his own soul brother card, except that the younger bloods saw Andy as an old Uncle Tom.
"Sarge," Blake said, with too much emotion. "You only asked about the Whiteman two days ago. We haven't even seen each other yet. We are going to party at his new girl's hooch tonight. I plan to work on him then."
"Time is against me, David. Matson handed a copy of the Provost Marshal's report to some AP reporter. That fool, without any checking, sent it off. He called Matson's scrimmage a huge American victory in the ancient City of Hue."
"Next thing, Westmoreland will be sending medals up here for Matson and company."
"Oh, wouldn't that be fine?" Andy laughed. "Then our greatest general will ask me, through the proper channels, to send him my hero of Phu Cam Canal. I will, of course, resist by claiming unit efficiency might suffer."
"You got it, and then Westy takes your bait. I can see him now, bellowing 'Get me that newspaper hero from Hue. He is the light at the end of my long dark tunnel.'"
Andy lost it. He was laughing so hard that the whole balcony was shaking. With Andy jollied up, Blake decided to press for whatever advantage he could.
"Look, I'll work on White and report back tomorrow."
"Make sure you get White on board. We need him to rain on Matson's parade." Shifting his gaze, Andy said, "All right, now this makes sense. Here comes your reason for sitting out here."
Following Andy's glance, Blake made eye contact with his wet dream girl. Many guys thought she lived over near Hue City's soccer stadium. Just exactly where nobody knew, not even after sending out recon patrols. As usual, she was walking with a younger girl, perhaps a sister, both carrying bundles of books. He caught her looking at him. For maybe the third time, she held his gaze before looking away. This extraordinary girl was seventeen, eighteen, nineteen tops. She had never talked with anyone, so nobody at Tropo knew for sure. She was stunning. Rarely would she pass by, but when she did, it was in the morning and she was always showing her stuff.
Today she wore a tight white top over dark blue trousers. Her outfit the Viets called ao dai: two little words that meant pure sex in motion. Ao dai was a high-neck, tight-waist, ankle length dress cut up both sides to form long front and rear panels. The design provided choice glimpses of billowing thighs and provocative derrieres. Each panel would shift gracefully with each step. So smitten had Blake been with this national costume that "ao dai" had been the first words he learned in Vietnamese during his first visit to Saigon only a few days after arriving.
This girl was a Venus. Lurking inside that costume was a damn fine body. Looking at her straight on Blake saw her hips welling out on both sides of those slits. Her dark blue pants and off-white top made a striking contrast, much more interesting than the usual white on white outfit. Accentuation squared. She looked ahead -- moving steadily along, placing one foot in front of the other, keeping her head high, walking with polish, undulating those hips. No small trick walking like that and keeping her back straight. Clearly she'd trained with experts.
Of all her qualities, Blake liked her face best. He thought of a fine portrait whenever he saw it. Like any good artist, the painter had stressed her best and improved the rest. Instead of a slightly moon shape, her face was elliptical, almost Western. Her jet-black hair accentuated two chiseled cheeks and a high forehead. Raven locks cascaded down her back and covered both shoulders. The artist had good color sense: he'd done wonders with her skin tone, a light tawny wash several shades deeper than the more common pale Viet yellow.
Blake stopped everything, eagerly anticipating. Just knowing her fine ass would soon pass into view caused an erection. Feeling embarrassed, he pressed forward into the top row of sandbags, attempting to disguise what was on his mind.
Andy said, "Forget that."
"So?" Blake said, feeling flushed. "It doesn't hurt to look. When you stop, you're dead."
"She's a thoroughbred. You can bet her family considers all of us a bunch of low class mercenaries. Traditional Vietnamese live on a social ladder that puts soldiers down as no-shows. Scholars, they call them si, are on top; then comes nong the farmers; then the workers, and below them are business people. Down below everybody else comes binh, their word for soldiers. You know what's even lower than binh?"
Blake got out, "But maybe," before Andy continued.
"Her kind considers foreign soldiers lower than whale shit. It's embarrassing for one of my men to moon after some girl who thinks he's a missing link."

Today's round of strong sale reports from major retailers may give firms the confidence to hold back on more promotional activity heading into the holiday season, according to AlixPartners. One promising trend is that shoppers stepped out to buy bolder, more fashion-oriented lines - instead of just replenishing the basics. With the retail table now set for a strong Q3 as the back-to-school season roars to a powerful start, optimism starts to creep up that consumers might even keep the good vibes going right through the crucial holiday period.| Aug. 30, 2012, 1:55 PM

Shares of Zale (ZLC +2.7%) and Blue Nile (NILE +2.5%) get a lift from Tiffany's Q2 results. It's a bit of a curious move as the company's report didn't paint a particularly pretty picture of the sector. On top of that, TIF's jump could be influenced by shorts taking profits off the table as visibility has cleared on the name.| Aug. 27, 2012, 3:48 PM

Shares of Blue Nile (NILE) skyrocket 27.1% premarket after the company beat estimates with its Q2 report.

Forecasts for June retail sales tip off that sales growth for the sector could come in at the lowest level since August 2009, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters. After Nike (NKE) and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) set the tone with disheartening guidance, the whole sector is on on watch to determine the effects on revenue of a jittery U.S. consumer. Even if a company's numbers are solid, the question of how management is using discounting and promotions to pump up sales will remain in focus.| Jul. 3, 2012, 1:30 PM | 3 Comments

May 8, 2012, 11:14 AMThe stocks of companies selling jewelry get taken down a few notches on concerns that luxury spending in the U.S. will decline after European demand falters and China's endless thirst for jewelry isn't necessarily viewed as a sure thing anymore.

Feb. 16, 2012, 10:06 AM
M&A chatter keeps percolating along (previous) on a possible merger between Zale (ZLC +5.1%) and Signet (SIG +2.1%). Despite a hefty long-term debt load, Zale makes for an attractive play at $5 or $6 a share for Signet in a deal that could be accretive to earnings in the first year.| Feb. 16, 2012, 10:06 AM
