The pepper fruit is the second most consumed vegetable worldwide. However, low temperature affects the vegetative development and reproduction of the pepper, resulting in economic losses. To identify cold-related genes regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) in pepper seedlings, cDNA representational difference analysis was previously performed using a suppression subtractive hybridization method. One of the genes cloned from the subtraction was homologous to Solanum tuberosum MBF1 (StMBF1) encoding the coactivator multiprotein bridging factor 1. Here, we have characterized this StMBF1 homolog (named CaMBF1) from Capsicum annuum and investigated its role in abiotic stress tolerance.
Tissue expression profile analysis using quantitative RT-PCR showed that CaMBF1 was expressed in all tested tissues, and high-level expression was detected in the flowers and seeds. The expression of CaMBF1 in pepper seedlings was dramatically suppressed by exogenously supplied salicylic acid, high salt, osmotic and heavy metal stresses. Constitutive overexpression of CaMBF1 in Arabidopsis aggravated the visible symptoms of leaf damage and the electrolyte leakage of cell damage caused by cold stress in seedlings. Furthermore, the expression of RD29A, ERD15, KIN1, and RD22 in the transgenic plants was lower than that in the wild-type plants. On the other hand, seed germination, cotyledon greening and lateral root formation were more severely influenced by salt stress in transgenic lines compared with wild-type plants, indicating that CaMBF1-overexpressing Arabidopsis plants were hypersensitive to salt stress.
Overexpression of CaMBF1 in Arabidopsis displayed reduced tolerance to cold and high salt stress during seed germination and post-germination stages. CaMBF1 transgenic Arabidopsis may reduce stress tolerance by downregulating stress-responsive genes to aggravate the leaf damage caused by cold stress. CaMBF1 may be useful for genetic engineering of novel pepper cultivars in the future.

Transcriptional regulatory proteins play a central role in the expression of genomic information during complex biological processes in all organisms. Among these proteins, transcriptional co-activators are key components of eukaryotic gene expression by interacting with both transcription factors and/or other regulatory elements and the basal transcription machinery [1, 2]. Multiprotein bridging factor 1 (MBF1), a transcriptional co-activator, enhances transcription of its target genes by bridging the general factor TBP (TATA box Binding Protein) and specific transcription factors bound to their target promoters in eukaryotes such as yeast [3], Drosophila[4] and Arabidopsis[5].
MBF1-type genes (SlER24 and StMBF1) encode functional transcriptional co-activators as demonstrated by their capacity to complement the yeast mbf1 mutant [6, 7]. Fusion of tomato SlER24 to EAR (Amphiphilic Repression) in the MicroTom cultivar induced a delay of seed germination, but had no obvious effect on plant growth [6]. Moreover, it was reported that the StMBF1 gene in potato was induced by pathogen attack, oxidative stress, wounding and in response to salicylic acid (SA) treatment [7, 8]. Direct evidence of the involvement of MBF1 in plant responses to environmental stresses was obtained by enhancing tolerance to heat and osmotic stresses in transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing the AtMBF1c gene and more recently AtMBF1a, without growth retardation [9, 10]. These data indicate that MBF1-like genes can be associated with a variety of developmental processes in plants such as environmental stress tolerance. To date, there are very few data on the significance of MBF1 in cold stress tolerance.
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a member of the Solanaceae family, and an important vegetable and spice crop valued for its aroma, taste, pungency and flavor. The pepper fruit is the second most consumed vegetable around the world [11]. Different types of peppers, including chili, mild and sweet peppers are cultivated worldwide. Low temperature is one of the most important abiotic factors limiting the growth, development and geographical distribution of plants [12]. Pepper plants originate from tropical regions and are very sensitive to low temperature, which affects their vegetative development and reproduction, resulting in economic losses [13–15]. As part of production and fruit quality improvement, we are interested in investigating plant defense mechanisms to improve resistance to environmental stresses. In our previous report, we showed that exogenous application of ABA increased the tolerance of pepper seedlings to chilling-induced oxidative damage, mainly by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and expression of related genes [16]. Furthermore, ABA-mediated candidate genes associated with chilling stress have been fully characterized in pepper plants using a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method [17]. One of the genes cloned from the reverse subtraction was homologous to Solanum tuberosum MBF1 (StMBF1) encoding the coactivator multiprotein bridging factor 1. Expression of this MBF1 homologue was highly induced by cold stress, whereas ABA-pretreatment decreased its expression in pepper seedlings subjected to cold stress. However, the function of this gene involved in the defense response to chilling stress remains to be elucidated.
In this study, based on the above-mentioned expressed sequence tag (EST) from the reverse SSH library that enriched the up-regulated expressed genes responding to chilling stress, we have functionally characterized the homolog of StMBF1 in pepper (designated as CaMBF1). The results of this study suggest that CaMBF1 transcript in pepper seedlings can be suppressed by SA, salt, osmotic and heavy metal stresses. Overexpression of CaMBF1 in Arabidopsis displayed reduced tolerance to cold and high salt stress.
Isolation of the CaMBF1cDNA clone and sequence analysis
Expression of CaMBF1in pepper seedlings is severely suppressed by stress and SA treatments
Reduced tolerance of CaMBF1-overexpressing Arabidopsisplants to cold stress
The CaMBF1-overexpressing Arabidopsisis hypersensitive to salt stress
Altered expression of stress-responsive HSPs in the CaMBF1-overexpressing Arabidopsis
Here, we report a putative transcription coactivator from pepper seedlings, the putative amino acid sequence of which was 95% and 80% identical to those of StMBF1 and AtMBF1b, respectively. Therefore, CaMBF1 could be categorized as belonging to the same group as StMBF1[8]. The deduced amino acid sequences of plant MBF1s revealed the existence of highly conserved amino acid residues in each group [19]. Additionally, tissue-specific expression of CaMBF1 observed here (Figure 2) suggests that CaMBF1 may be involved in physiological processes of pepper plants. In this regard, the highly homologous StMBF1 also exhibits a ubiquitous tissue distribution [8].
In the present study, CaMBF1 transcript in pepper or Arabidopsis seedlings was dramatically decreased in response to abiotic stresses such as SA, ABA, high salt, osmotic, and heavy metal stress (Figures 3 and 6). Particularly, under cold stress the expression of CaMBF1 was downregulated in Arabidopsis seedlings (Figure 6). These results indicated that CaMBF1 may be negatively involved in stress signaling pathways. Unlike other MBF1 genes, the expression of AtMBF1c is induced by various stresses, including salinity, drought, heat, H2O2 and ABA, and is not affected by cold stress [19]. Salinity also induced AtMBF1a/b expression [10] and cold stress did not significantly change mRNA accumulation of AtMBF1a and AtMBF1b in Arabidopsis[19].
CaMBF1-overexpressing plants showed extremely large leaf phenotypes (Figure 4). This finding could be explained by similar evidence reported by Tojo et al.[27] who suggested that AtMBF1s play a crucial role in controlling rapid leaf expansion through promotion of cell expansion. The amino acid sequences of MBF1s are widely conserved among plant species. Similarly, transgenic Arabidopsis expressing AtMBF1c were 20% larger than control plants and produced more seeds [9].
The visible symptoms of leaf damage in CaMBF1-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis were observed more severely than that in WT plants (Figure 7) and the transgenic plants presented 1.5 folds higher electrolyte leakage than WT under cold stress (Figure 8), suggesting that the tolerance of transgenic plants to cold stress was reduced. This result was in agreement with the fact that some genes isolated from the reverse SSH library, including a MBF1 homologue, were related to reduction in cold tolerance of plants [17]. Moreover, overexpression of the CaMBF1 gene in Arabidopsis reduced the expression of RD29A, ERD15, KIN1, and RD22 during cold treatment (Figure 9). CaMBF1 may reduce the tolerance of Arabidopsis to cold stress by negatively regulating stress-tolerant gene expression. Suzuki et al.[9] reported that the tolerance of MBF1c-expressing transgenic seedlings to cold stress was similar to that of WT seedlings. On the other hand, CaMBF1-expressing transgenic plants showed high susceptibility to salt stress imposed during seed germination (Figure 10A). In contrast to this result, the triple knock-down mutant (abc-) presented a significant diminution of germination under osmotic stress [28] and MBF1 genes negatively regulated ABA-dependent inhibition of germination [29]. The cotyledons and lateral root formation were more severely influenced by salinity in transgenic plants compared with WT plants (Figure 10B). Meanwhile, root growth of MBF1a/c-expressing plants adopted to the high or low-salt condition comparatively better than WT plants [9, 10]. Seed germination is controlled by the antagonistic action of gibberellic acid (GA) or ethylene and ABA [30–32]. MBF1 may be involved in several hormone signal transduction pathways (ethylene, GA/ABA) during seed germination [6, 33]. In addition, the expression of RD29A, RAB18, KIN1 and ERD15 in CaMBF1-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis was higher than that in WT plants under high salt conditions (Figure 11). Kim et al.[10] also reported that MBF1a-overexpressing transgenic Arabidopsis induced RD29A, ERD15, and KIN2 during the course of salt treatment. The accumulation of a number of defense transcripts was similarly augmented in MBF1c transgenic Arabidopsis in response to heat stress [9].
The expression patterns of the above-mentioned stress gene markers in transgenic plants subjected to cold stress were different from those in transgenic lines under salt stress. This difference could be related to that each stress opens out specific defense mechanisms in young seedlings and the participation of CaMBF1 might be different depending on the stress condition imposed. Since different stresses may disrupt plant growth and development in specific ways, the plant might alleviate damage by different mechanisms. The results of this study, that overexpression of the pepper CaMBF1 gene differently modules the expression of HSPs in Arabidopsis under cold and salt stresses (Figure 12), supported this hypothesis. There were similar reports as follows: constitutive expression of stress-responsive HSP genes was augmented in the abc- mutant, indicating that AtMBF1s may act as negative regulators of HSP in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings [28]. Suzuki et al.[9] described that transcripts encoding classical HSPs accumulated to a similar level in WT and transgenic plants over-expressing MBF1c; they suggested that the enhanced tolerance of these plants to osmotic and heat-shock stress was associated with the expression of other stress-responsive genes rather than with the constitutive expression of HSPs. Finally, our data together with previous evidences support that Capsicum annum CaMBF1 play a different role as Arabidopsis AtMBF1 in response to salt or cold stress. Further studies will be necessary to reveal specific functions for each gene.
This study demonstrates that the manipulation of the CaMBF1 gene from pepper using a transgenic approach can lead to reduced cold-stress and salt-stress tolerance in Arabidopsis. In addition, overexpression of CaMBF1 may reduce stress tolerance by downregulating stress-responsive genes to aggravate the leaf damage caused by cold stress. However, upregulation of such stress-responsive genes appears to be insufficient to induce tolerance of CaMBF1 transgenic plants to salt stress. The CaMBF1 gene could be a candidate gene for future research on abiotic stress signaling pathways and genetic engineering of novel pepper cultivars. The results of this study will be helpful in providing beneficial information to support biotechnology applications and molecular breeding, which clarify the function of a gene involved in abiotic stress in plants.
Plant materials and stress treatments
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. P70 seeds were sown at a depth of 1.0 cm into 9-cm-deep plastic pots filled with growth medium consisting of grass charcoal and perlite in a ratio of 3:1 after accelerated germination and grown in a growth chamber using a previously described method [16]. The seedlings at the sixth leaf expansion stage were used to establish the following treatments. ABA and cold treatments were performed as described by Guo et al.[17]. For ABA and cold treatments, seedlings were sprayed with freshly prepared 0.57 mM ABA solution or water (control). At 72 h after foliar application, control and ABA treatment groups were subjected to chilling stress at 6°C. For salt, osmotic, and the heavy metal (Hg) treatments, the seedling roots were immersed in solutions containing 300 mM sodium chloride (NaCl), 300 mM mannitol, or 300 μM Hg and maintained at 25°C for the indicated times. For SA treatment, seedlings were sprayed with 5 mM SA solution and incubated for the indicated times. The treated seedlings were harvested after 0, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h for examination of CaMBF1 expression pattern under various stress conditions. At each time point, two or three upper young leaves from four separate seedlings were collected to form one sample, wrapped with foil, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates.
Isolation of CaMBF1cDNA clone and sequence analysis
The MBF1-homologous EST (GenBank No: JZ198811) characterized from the differential screening of a cold-related pepper seedling cDNA library was reported by Guo et al.[17]. The full-length open reading frame of the MBF1 homologue was obtained using the cDNA fragment of this homolog as a probe by a homology-based candidate gene method [34]. The full-length forward and reverse primers for CaMBF1 were 5′-GAAGAAAAAAAGCAATGAGTGG-3′ and 5′-GCAGAAACGAATTTAG-GATTTG-3′ respectively. The theoretical molecular weight (Mw) and isoelectric point (pI) were calculated with the ExPASy compute pI/Mw tool [35]. Sequence data were analyzed using Clustal W [36]. Homology searches in database were carried out using the default parameters of the BLAST program on the website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:blast[37].
Generation of CaMBF1 transgenic Arabidopsisplants
Full-length forward and reverse primers with an added BamHI site were used to generate a DNA fragment encoding the CaMBF1 gene. The CaMBF1 fragment was inserted into the cloning site of the pMD19 T-vector (Takara, Tokyo, Japan) and then this plasmid DNA was digested using XbaI and BamHI from the pMD19 T-vector. The CaMBF1 DNA fragment was inserted into the XbaI-BamHI site of the pVBG2307 vector under the control of the 35S cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) promoter, resulting in the pVBG2307-CaMBF1 construct. The pVBG2307 vector was constructed according to pCAMBIA2300 vector [38]. This construct was confirmed by sequencing and then introduced into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 using electroporation. Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia-0, Col-0), chosen for transgenic studies, was grown in a controlled environment chamber at 22°C, with a 14/10 h photoperiod, a light intensity of 120 mmol m−2 s−1, and 70% relative humidity. Transgenic plants were generated by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation using the floral dip method [39]. CaMBF1-overexpressing transgenic seedlings were confirmed by examining the segregation ratio of the kanamycin selectable marker and by PCR analysis of NPTII and CaMBF1 using the primers NPTII-F/R and CaMBF1-F/R (Additional file 1: Table S1). T2 lines that produced 100% kanamycin -resistant plants in the T3 generation were considered as homozygous transformants. In each experiment, T2 generations of homozygous transgenic lines (#5, #12 and #21) were selected for further analysis. Similar phenotypes and results used for this study were observed in more than three independent lines of transgenic plants.
Performance of transgenic lines under stress treatments
Two-week-old transgenic seedlings were subjected to various treatments. Cold treatment was conducted in the dark by exposure of plants grown on vermiculite soil at 22°C to 4°C for 48 h, whereas control plants were placed in the dark at 22°C for 48 h. After cold treatment, wild-type (WT) and CaMBF1-overexpressing transgenic plants were visually examined to determine the extent of chilling damage. For high-salinity and ABA treatments, 2-week-old seedlings were submerged in half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS/2) medium containing 150 mM NaCl or 100 μM ABA solutions, whereas control plants were submerged in a MS/2 medium. Third–fourth rosette leaves were collected from both stress-treated and control plants after 0, 2, 6, 24, and 48 h of cold, salt stress or ABA treatments. At each time point, sample was frozen in liquid nitrogen, stored at −80°C and used for extraction of total RNA. The treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates.
Homozygous T2 seeds of the transgenic lines were used for phenotypic analysis. For high-salinity treatment, seeds of WT and transgenic plants were plated on MS/2 agar plates supplemented with 100 mM NaCl, grown in a growth chamber, and assessed for percentage of germination after various times (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 d). Experiments were done in triplicate for each line (50 seeds each). 6-day-old plants grown on normal MS/2 agar plates were transferred to vertical MS/2 agar plates containing 150 mM NaCl, and grown for another week as previously described [40]. The root growth and cotyledon greening of 24 seedlings were observed.
Measurement of electrolyte leakage
Leaflets from 2-week-old seedlings were transferred to 4°C and incubated for 24 h in the dark in the growth chamber. The conductivity of the suspending solution was measured according to the method of Arce et al.[28]. The electrical conductivity of the solution was measured using an electrical conductivity analyzer (DDS-307; Shanghai Precision Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd., China) before and after autoclaving at 120°C for 30 min to release the total electrolytes. The conductivity was scored at least for 4 plants per line and pretreatment. Electrolyte leakage was expressed as a percentage of total electrolytes.
Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis
RNA extraction, cDNA preparation and qRT-PCR were performed as described by Guo et al.[17]. Relative gene expression levels were determined using the 2^-ΔΔ CT method. Total RNA was extracted from the leaves of pepper plants subjected to various stress for 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h as described above. The ubiquitin -conjugating protein gene (UBI-3, GenBank accession no. AY486137.1) from pepper plants was amplified as a reference gene for normalization of CaMBF1 cDNA samples. On the other hand, total RNA of CaMBF1 transgenic and WT Arabidopsis were used to examine the expression of seven stress-related genes (RD29A, RAB18, ERD15, KIN1, RD22, HSP70 and HSP90) and three Arabidopsis isoforms (AtMBF1a, AtMBF1b, AtMBF1c). Arabidopsis eIF4A gene (At3g13920) was included in the assays as an internal control for normalizing the variations in cDNA amounts used [41]. The corresponding specific primers were listed in Additional file 1: Table S1.
Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (SAS 8.2, North Carolina State University, USA) and mean separation was analyzed using the least significant difference. The P value <0.05 was considered to be significant.

The Pursuit of Happiness
was a great movie!
But this video is mad decent.
4 of my favorite artists in one song. The line up is Kid Cudi, Drake, MGMT and Ratatat. This vid was an unexpected surprise and ended up being the song that got me through my work day.
This video itself is filmed really well, lots of slow frame and the color spectrum is so cool, nice dark greens and earth tones. everyone's skin is shining just right. Cudi is fitted as usual and I really enjoyed it. The pursuit of Happiness shines in this aspect. You can really feel it when Cudi drops the line "you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow, rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow" The whispers at the end are dope as well. Anyways yeah, I must have played this song 15 times today. Enjoy.

Just when you think the boundaries of the sport of Surfing have been stretched about as far as they could go, another new innovative idea comes along and gets eyebrows raising. The latest innovation to emerge in these technology fuelled days is the Jet Surf, a powered Surfboard that contains it's own engine and has banished paddling to the past.
The Jet Surf has an inbuilt engine that has been designed and manufactured to precisely fit within the board and on flat water can power the board to an impressive 57 KMPH. Capable of being used as a regular wave riding Surfboard or ideal for flat days, to allow you to get out on the ocean and cruise, the Jet Surf definitely shows some appeal.
Here in the Surf-Report office, we have mulled the Jet Surf over, and we really like the idea, although we are not sure how much one of these boards cost at this moment in time, (we have seen unconfirmed rumors of 12 000 AUD). We do however, have a couple of concerns. Firstly, we are worried about seeing one of these boards haring through the line up and imagine that these 15kg carbon fibre boards travelling at up to 57 KMPH could do a lot of damage to another water user.
Secondly, it is frustrating enough when you are sitting patiently for a wave and a longboarder or stand up paddler consistently pick up the better waves earlier and further out than you, imagine how many waves your going to miss with one of these hoovering up everything at your local beach!
We can definitely see a point to the Jet Surf and would love to have a go on one, they will be an amazing bit of kit to be out on when the waves go flat and brilliant for secluded spots or secret offshore reefs! Take a look at the DailyPlanet news reel below to see the Director of Jet Surf Australia, Ben Gibson, show you the board in action and let us know your thoughts on the Jet Surf – would you want to see it in the water near you?

Never to question what Icebergs is all about, and glad to see that they're catching up with the times! This Summer I didn't get the usual Halo Halo with the Works! Kinda shifted in trying out other selections and got the Mango Con Hielo! 🏻
In-season, cube-cut Mangoes, Mango Ice Cream, Nata de Coco, Milk, and shaved ice ala bingsu and there you have it, a minimal yet refreshingly satisfying heat buster for merienda! Really had to savor every sweet mango cubes in that bowl! Hehehe 🏻 soo delish!

It's been a while since my last visit here. Ordered supreme halo halo good for two.
Most of the toppings here are traditional native sweets. It has luscious saba, macapuno balls, mango chunks, and my favorite Leche plan topped with Ube ice cream and cherry to name a few.
It's really delicious because it's creamy, the crushed ice was fine and it wasn't sweet at all. the serving size is good for two people.

Need a place to eat yummy cool dessert... Head to Iceberg's. They have lots of selection from halo halo to ice cream, to other desserts like crepes and milkshakes. They also have rice meals, pastas, and their tacos is a must try Their price is reasonable and the serving meets expectations.

Icebergs somehow reminds me of that old Magnolia Ice Cream house that once stood along Aurora, QC. What with all those fancy ice cream, it is one of those establishments I go to if I just wanted a big glass of calories that's decorated with the colors of the rainbow.
Sometimes, I bring my kids and whenever I do, I turn to a happy, little ice cream monster, just like them.
But earlier, since my lactose intolerance deprives me of having anything too creamy on a work day, I went to Icebergs to have lunch minus the dessert...which I don't normally do.
I'm not used to eating rice and recently I've been trying to cut down on my carb intake so, I only had cream of mushroom soup and ceasar's salad. The salad, well, I was kinda missing the bacon bits. It tasted incomplete without it. The soup, uhmmm, bland. I'm not entirely sure but, I think it was the "instant" kind of soup.
As for my office mates, they enjoyed their lunch more compared to me with chicken cordon bleu and sizzling sisig with rice. I've tried their chicken cordon bleu before and it was tolerable. I'm okay with it but somehow it leaves an "umay" aftertaste. It sort of reminds me of a ready to cook cordon bleu that I used to buy from the frozen section of the supermarket. As for the sisig, I've had this a few times before as well. It's far from superb but, Icebergs' sisig can pass as comfort food for me. It's sinful. I felt a pang of envy on this one.
But sadly, I had to watch my office mates enjoy their tummy-filling lunch while I had to gobble down my soup and salad and end up only about 70% full.
Overall, Icebergs is a classic and maybe an authority when it comes to ice cream. Pricing is reasonable considering their serving size. Nevertheless, I'm not grading their food with an A but it can pass as "pwede na".
(One observation, whenever I eat any of their mains, I end up sleepy. I'm guessing they're putting way too much food enhancers.)

Honestly, this is my first time to eat at Icebergs. And, again, to tell you honestly, I'm quite disappointed.
This afternoon, before doing the groceries, I craved for halo-halo. I had Razon's in mind. Much to my dismay, the Razon's shop(?) was on the other far end of SM North from where we were at. A bit of walking led us here, so I decided to try it out.
We ordered their Super Halo-halo and lasagna (in photo). The halo-halo was juuuust okay. Nothing special. Same goes for their lasagna. Nothing particular distinct for both.
I think their food's too pricey for the taste.

I have gotten some paper work done and a few home repairs struck off the list. But, you don't want to see pictures of that do you? ;)
On Sunday I was able to focus long enough to make two moons. I really enjoy the moon design series and feel a strong sense of connection to them while I work.
For months now I have attempted to come up with a mix of brass and sterling that I hoped would give a look of 'old world' to a design. I've tried different sorts of finishes and have been unhappy with results so far. This brass and sterling moon brooch seems to have finally gotten the finish results I was wanting. I'm not sure I like it enough to do a whole series with this look, but I would like to see it again with some amethyst in the mix.
Since I've been listening to Neil Young in my car this week, I titled the brooch "Harvest Moon".
This little pendant just whipped itself up in a breeze. I was really happy that it looks so unique and intricate for such a simple project.

End of Year totals
Birth of Merridyth Ann - highlight
Moving to Minnesota to be closer to Nathan and his family - highlight
Losing my job - low point
My knitting totals for the year:
Christening Gown 1
Hats 6
Potholders 4
Scarves 3
Scrubbies 4
Sweaters 1 baby
Sweaters 2 child
Washcloth 1
Wristers 2 pair
When I factor in having to move, I didn't do too badly this year! Tonight I'll frog the project that isn't working so it isn't on the needles in 2011. I'll only have projects on the needles that will be finished. Not a bad way to start the year! I'd prefer not to have ANY projects on the needles, so I can start the year with a clean slate, but that ain't gonna happen this year! I refuse to frog the projects that are working, that just aren't done!
I made a concerted effort to pare down the stash. Giving yarn away, using it up. I started the year with 1,118.09 ounces of yarn, or 69.88 pounds. That also translated to 119,464.64 yards of yarn, or 67.88 MILES of yarn. The stash was worth approximately $2,572.17 on January 1, 2010. I purchased 247.16 ounces 16,206 yards.
Currently I have 719.11 ounces or 44.95 pounds of yarn on hand (including the projects on the needles, they don't get to count against the totals until finished.) That is 73,718 yards or 41.885 miles of yarn. Current approximate value of stash is $1,659.61. Not bad! Actually, I'm pretty proud of that!

End of the year
I do NOT want anything on the needles that I do not love or that will not be loved by the recipient.
As far as I remember, here are my projects on the needles:
- a pair of socks for me - one is to the heel, the other is on the heel flap
- Solo for Serena - about 1/2 of the body is finished - need the other half and 2 sleeves
- Liquid Silver for Stacey - so close to being finished - just DO IT!
- Sprog 3 baby blanket
- Cross-over Rib top for me - going to frog the colors are pooling
I would like to start working on the items that are closest to being finished. That would probably be Liquid Silver, then the socks, then baby blanket and finally Solo.
I have a whole slew of projects that I WANT to start. I don't want to list them, my goal is to knit away happily! Most of the projects are for others, which is fine.
I've been destashing - passing yarns on to others who want/need yarn. If I'm not going to knit it, why is it waiting here?
Here we are in cold Minnesota. And it is raining. Blech. Perhaps elsewhere that would be cause for rejoicing. Here, it is cause for great worry. Because it is supposed to change to freezing rain, and then snow. Which means all of this lovely rain is going to change to ice. Which may, perhaps, last most, if not all ,of the rest of this winter. There are some fragile people in this building. This will mean they are restricted to home until the ice is gone. For some reason, the mood in the building isn't excited. grin
Honestly, I'm not happy about the ice. I remember breaking my wrist on ice. It is 10 miles for Howard to get to work. That is a long stretch of road to be ice covered.
ETA: So, I must be perverse. I made that list above. Decided that to finish Liquid Silver made the most sense. So what did I pick up? The BABY BLANKET! sigh I really do NOT do well with to-do lists.

I think everyone liked their knitted presents. Forgot entirely to take pictures as they were opening them! sigh I should have. Merri looks wonderful wrapped in her 3-generation blanket, knit by great-grandma, grandma, Mommy and a crocheted edge by grandpa. (No, I didn't remember to get a picture of that at all!) Just right! Big Justin and Nathan both seemed to like their hats. Kim and Serena each got kitchen items they had requested. I figure that gave the items the best chance of being what was needed and would be used. Little Justin seemed to at least tolerate his hat, but didn't want it on. Merri kept hers on, didn't seem to notice that it was there.
The most important part, though, was sharing the time together. To be as one. Is this going to be a family tradition? I don't know. What a nice one, though!
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Um, and there is the vest I started just last month. How did I forget that? Sheesh!
The socks I mentioned: I have 4 that came in the swap. One has been finished. "Only" 3 more to go.
For pete's sake! I have a memory like a sieve for projects in process!
Monday, December 20, 2010
- Serena's replacement graduation sweater (high school) Nope
- Howard's sweater Done
- Socks to be kitchenered Nope
- My Lind Done (and fulled then cut into hotpads/potholders
- Elsbeth Lavold tunic (back knit up by Dianne on machine, waiting for me) Nope
- Unst Bridal Shawl Nope yarn given away, pattern sold
- Princess Line Nope yarn used for other project
Isn't that ... sad? 7 projects on my "to do" list, and I actually did 2. And it was already knit, just needed the seams and hem. sigh Maybe it would be best if I don't plan ahead. That is the only time I did post such a list on the blog. Whew!
Right now I have the following on the needles:
- sprog 3 baby blanket
- a pair of socks (both are to the heel)
- I still have the sweater back that Dianne knit up on her km, but I haven't knit anything up
- the socks that need kitchenering still need it - they aren't on needles, do they count?
Oh well. Another day. Another try. Maybe if I read what I write occasionally...

Snow, sigh
I am nebbing. Isn't that fun? I still haven't figured out how to do very many things while I neb. I am posting this. But knitting is out. Searching the web (or reading Ravelry) is fine.
I have some lovely pictures on the camera of the snow 2 storms back. They are still on the camera,which makes it a little hard to share. Then there is the issue that it is now _2_ storms back, instead of current. Sorry!
Thursday, December 09, 2010
Really irritated
Friday, December 03, 2010
Winter weather has arrived in Minnesota. Temps have been hovering in the teens (F), with wind chill of 0*F or below. Today through tomorrow we are supposed to receive up to 8 inches. I believe we have already had 2 weeks with snow on the ground. Looks as if it will extend further!
Happy Birthday to DD! Someone at work had a grand-daughter born this morning, I hope she is as wonderful as Serena!
The woman in the building who learned to knit has embraced it whole-heartedly. She doesn't want to purl, but has knit many face-cloths already! She had asked 2 weeks ago if she could get 9 done by the 11th of December, she wasn't sure it was possible. She had 9.5 yesterday! Yay! Someone in the building has accused me of creating a monster. grin What a shame. LOL

Next experiment will be with the left-hand burner. I'll update here. sigh
ETA Half an hour later and the left hand burner is not hot. I'd say that whoever looked at the stove was a tremendous optimist. I know that we live in a people with older people, many of whom no longer cook. But I do. May I please have a working stove? As in, 4 burners working?
This month I decided in a fit of insanity to join in NaKniSweMo, National Knit a Sweater Month. The idea is to knit 50,000 stitches in the month of November, at the end the knitter will have a sweater to show for the effort. I didn't want to be working on a sweater, but had two projects that would make my total. I started a hat for Big Justin and picked up my portion of the 3 generation baby blanket for Merri. I finished BOTH on the 24th. 87,442 stitches between the two projects. I am no longer counting stitches for the month. I did make and finish a hat for someone else, and still have knitting time this month. Do I finish projects on the needles? Probably. But how nice to get these out of the way!
Pictures will have to come at Christmas, after the presents have been gifted.
Sunday, November 21, 2010
Knitting away at Christmas presents. LOTS of stitches!
I realized a few minutes ago that I somehow deleted my list of stitch patterns and stitch counts for all three baby blankets. Now I don't know which pattern I was going to use for the other two baby blankets is gone! Tears!
Thursday, November 18, 2010
I wasn't going to do it, really truly! But then I started doing the math for a hat for DSIL - 3 ply yarn on 0 needles. I realized that it would take pretty close, if not more than 50,000 stitches. So, I signed on to the bandwagon November 8th. You will notice that I was already behind the eight ball, eh?
I decided to add Merri's baby blanket (the three generation one) to the mix, to give my hands relief, worsted weight for a while, then sock weight. Back and forth, forth and back. So, I started a spreadsheet, to track the stitch count on both projects. The other night I realized that I was close to the 50,000 stitches, but neither project was close to completion. My current goal is to finish both projects by the end of November. Insanity? Probably. I'll let you know the final stitch count at the end of the month. Can I do it? Dunno. But next year I will plan the project ahead of time!
Advertising sigh
Ads on tv take up more and more program time. They are louder than the program. I find myself muting the ads, just so I don't have to hear them. I'd rather miss part of the program than listen to their drivel!

I heard a crack as I sat in my chair. It was one of a pair we purchased in NY. The chairs were very comfortable. But, as I sat there, there was suddenly a second crack and I was sitting flat on the floor! Not sure how the arm brace breaking would cause that, but it certainly did! I tossed both chairs out. It was questioned as to why I'd throw the second, whole chair. My thought process (if I actually can be said to have one!) was that if one broke, the second was probably not far behind from doing the same. I really do NOT want to be responsible for one of the residents of the building being hurt because of a chair collapse!

I have been thinking that Merri looked more like Justin than Serena. But then I saw these two photos next to each other. What do you think?
This and that

When in high school I'd take my mom or my sister along to oversee the cut. After all, I can't see a darned thing once my glasses are off. I usually wound up with hair even shorter than today's!
What is it about me that inspires/drives/whatever the cuts to be so much shorter? I do NOT understand! The usual reaction when people see my hair is "it is so SHORT!"

I'm making cranberry oatmeal cookies from my archive. I had thawed 2 packages of cranberries, so tripled the recipe. There were going to be so many cookies, I decided to try them as bars instead of drop cookies. I'll update as to how they turn out.
I made 2 scarves from Sally Melville's book with her daughter, "Mother-Daughter Knits". I used the tabbed scarf pattern. The second was a variation on the theme, I only had 2 buttons that went really well with the yarn, so I made 2 tabs instead of 3. I think I'll make one more of the 3 tab version of the same yarn I made the first (alpaca with a twist baby twist) for me. The other is for a friend. I thought it was a great pattern for cold Minnesota weather!
Thursday, October 14, 2010
I bought a lot of Kroy sock yarn when we were still in New York from the Paton's outlet (before it closed.) I have FINALLY used almost all of it up! By the time I finish this sweater for Merri I will be out of it. I didn't really think it would ever happen! I have some burgundy Kroy, do you think that counts as red? Actually, I will, now that I think of it, will still have enough enough of the red from this sweater to make a hat or scarf for him. I don't have enough black, but red... Don't know if there will be enough of the red for the second person.

Welcome Merri!
Minnesota has been interesting. We have been so busy (and tired) from work that we are still unpacking. The apartment is lovely, the people are so welcoming.
A new game being played in the apartment building: what are they cooking? Long before we moved in, some of the residents started sitting in the hall outside of our apartment and chatting. The comment was made that we have such nice smells coming from our apartment, they usually spend some time trying to figure out what is/was cooking.
This has been a rough year. But, the important thing I am holding on to is that we've made it this far, we can make it! Yeah, I wish Dad had been able to see Merri. That didn't happen. We rejoice in the fact that she is here and is healthy!
As you can see, Justin is taking his role as the big cousin seriously!
On the needles, another Tutti Frutti by Hanne Falkenberg, this one for Miss Merri. For some unknown reason, Mommy wants the exact same colors as I knit the 3 for Justin. That will be 4 sweaters using the same colors and pattern. The only differences has been the sizes. Sigh. I love you guys!

MN here we come!
Friday, March 05, 2010
Okay, so I read the above and guilted myself into sewing in all of the ends before I could take pictures. Now they ARE finished and can be mailed off. Hmmm, looking at the bigger sweater, it may have to wait TWO years to be worn. Does that mean I need to make an intermediate size for next year? I'll find out.
I'll post a picture of Justin wearing it later.

Still moving slowly
It helps to know that there is new life on the horizon. Serena and Justin will be parents in July. I'm trying to decide what to knit for Merridyth Ann. At least there is a 95% possibility that it will be Merridyth Ann, known as Merri. I'm going to try to do another 3 generation blanket for her (Mom, me and Serena.) I want each of the grandtads to have that, don't want one to be left out. That means I need to get going soon, to make sure that it happens. I'm thinking cables for this one. Haven't decided quite what, but...
Justin L's winter sweaters for this year and next are almost finished. A couple of more days of knitting on break and lunch and the 3rd will be finished. Then putting it together and sewing in the ends for both. Then they will be mailed off. I'm sorry that this year's is late, but circumstances conspired to lose my momentum.
It has been a colder winter here than normal. I'm so glad that Howard bought the winter coat that he did. When he did I thought (with some private snickering) that he'd wear it a week a year here. Who knew that he'd need it for over a month this year!!!
Thank God that the roof leak has finally stopped! I started off putting one container down. It gradually grew until there were 8 containers in and beside the closet. The roofers came to fix it, the next day it still leaked. But, whatever they did must have taken care of it, for the containers (I didn't dare pick them up) have stayed dry. If only I didn't hear the drip in my dreams, even though it isn't happening!
Not a lot more to post, but I'll try to get more active here. Some days are harder than others, still.

I have to say that I am in absolute awe of mums like my cousin who on a day-to-day basis have to think of food for their kids which are free from all food colourings, gluten dairy , nuts etc. Coming up with something that was allergy free of all these I have to say was a huge challenge!
One I enjoyed but, again I take my hat off to all those parents dealing with these food issues everyday. I found with these cookies you really don't want to bake them more then 10 minutes or else they will be a wee bit too crunchy, but they actually are quite nice and I found that I had no problem tucking into them until I reminded myself that they were supposed to be for my nephew. The icing I made for them, again making certain that there was no food colouring, etc. was made from some icing sugar and Nuttlex with a tablespoon or two of water.
1 3/4 cups Gluten Free Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
3/4 Nuttlex Olive (Dairy Free Spread)
1/2 Cup sugar
1/3 Cup Apple Sauce
1/4 tsp salt
2tsp lemon juice
1. Line two cookie trays with baking paper and Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius
2. Beat Sugar and Nuttelex untill pale and creamy.
3. Add the Apple Sauce ,salt and lemon juice and mix. Stir in the flour and baking powder and mix all ingredients together to form dough
4. Wrap the dough in cling wrap and place in the fridge for about 10 mins
5. Roll dough out and cut out as desired, its fun to make these into holiday shapes or quick and easy just to cut into circles
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes
7. Frost or decorate as desired

It was another nail-biting Saturday airing of the Nigerian Idol reality television show as, once more, contestants were up for elimination. As the show enters the home stretch and inches closer and closer to finding a winner the race it has become even more difficult to watch contestants bid their final farewell to the $100,000 prize.
This week was no exception, and surprisingly, the singer with the big voice, Safeeyat, was voted off the show. She sang her heart out for a chance to be saved, singing "Kiss from a rose" by Seal and for a tense minute or two while the judges conferred, it looked like she was headed home. However, the judges decided to give the singer another chance and used up their save to keep her in the running for at least another week.
Did the judges make the right call? And did Safeeyat make a convincing comeback on the performance show? For more, check out the Nigerian Idol YouTube page at www.youtube.com/NigerianIdol.

Well, I don't know how many people actually "follow" my blog anymore after my long hiatus, but I'm back and here to tell you I have a good reason for my absenteeism! Check it out!
My sweet husband graduated with his masters degree AND we learned that we are expecting a little surprise. We are so excited! The above photo is how I announced it to the Facebook world (if you've seen my classroom photos you know I've been a little obsessed with the Dr. Seuss theme this year :)
Unfortunately I was very sick for the first 18 weeks or so, which made blogging (and everything else!) just about the last priority on my list. I'm 23 weeks now and past the half-way point, hooray!
To reveal the gender of our little peanut to our family and friends I made these delicious cake pops and my students opened a box of colored helium balloons. They were ecstatic. Wish I could share the video of their reactions.
And it's a....
They say kids can be intuitive about this kind of thing and my students certainly seemed to be. I had significantly more boy students than girls, and thought they would just vote according to their own gender, but indeed my students and coworkers all voted heavily for team girl and they were right!
We can't wait to meet our little Zoe.
Well, now that I'm officially back to the blogging world, feeling a little better, AnD it's summer, I suppose I don't have such a good reason not to blog, so I promise to be back soon with retroactive teaching updates and updates about summer school.

For Adults
AYA combines street outreach and prevention based presentations with its youth center and clinic to be sure whatever help a young person needs is within easy reach. In many cases, AYA will help young people connect with other organizations that are also there to help.
Everyone at AYA wants to equip young people to make decisions that will lead to productive lives. It's up to the young person to decide what that life will be. Is it stable housing? College? Trade school? Military service? A job? The vision belongs to the young person – finding the way to achieve it is where we try to help. We're advocates for youth and their healthy choices.
POWER (Peer Outreach Worker Education and Referral) Programs
Teen Center: The Teen Center/Clinic is a center run by teens for teens with professional staff backing the outreach workers. Together they create a safe place where youth can receive health care, visit with one another in a relaxed environment, and learn about safer ways to live. No one makes judgments – the only goal is to help.
Outreach: In 1992, the street outreach program started with a peer outreach approach utilizing the experience of at risk and homeless youth 13-19 years old. Youth were hired and proved to be the most effective in reaching out to other youth. Peer outreach workers are able to provide a connection and support in a unique way that feels more authentic and real to youth on the street.
Youth Volunteer Opportunities: Youth choose to volunteer for many reasons. Youth may have a requirement for school or legal reasons, need to build their resume, or may just want to give back and help others. Whatever the reason maybe, we are here to meet that need.
Peer Education: Through the common experience of adolescents, the peer to peer approach can reduce barriers between teacher and student. Youth listen to youth. In teams of two, peer outreach workers present single session one hour prevention based groups as well as the 12-modual AKPHAT (Alaska Promoting Health Among Teens) curriculum.
Peer Education Guidebook: The Alaska Peer Education Guidebook was informed by Alaska Youth Advocates peer education program experience since 1992, site visits to the other grantee programs, and research on national and international peer education programs, theories, and strategies.

castaway cay...
today i'm sharing our last, and maybe, most favorite stop from our cruise. we went to disney's island, castaway cay in the bahamas. it was one of the most beautiful beaches i've ever been to! the sand was white and so soft and the water was warm and crystal clear.
we spent the day just playing in the sand and the water. the sand was full of tiny, white, perfect seashells that are in a jar in the girls room. we were all feeling a little sentimental with it being the last day of our trip, so we rehashed favorite memories and moments and were sad to see it all come to an end. the stop was so easy, making it a relaxing day- they had intertubes and rafts to use, towel drops, and lunch. plus, they had soft serve ice cream machines, which was pretty great!
we loved the number t-shirts from chasing fireflies, it was fun to see all the kids lined up! and the little boys in their dude speedos were the hit of the beach!
i've received quite a few questions about our trip, i'll be posting some of the details, what we learned, what we packed, and wished we would have packed on friday...tomorrow i have some of our dinner outfits to share.
