S & P - Market Showing Weakness. Needs Downside Follow-Through. 0 commentsMay 14, 2010 12:33 AM
Friday 14 May 2010
The market showed the kind of weakness in Thursday's rally we wanted to
see, within the down trend, to warrant a short position. The previous two
trading days had smaller ranges and rallied on decreasing volume as price
approached anticipated resistance. Yesterday, price rallied to a slightly
higher high, but as the end of the trading day neared, began to fall on
increasing intra day volume.
An important point to make is in noting the first sell-off low from contract
highs, the second bar after the 1216 high. The low that day, 28 April, was
1176.75. The rally high from yesterday was 1174.75. This leaves a little
space of 2 points that the rally could not fill. That is a subtle bearish
implication, showing the market rally was weak, in that regard. There was
We had 1175 to 1185 identified as a zone of resistance, [see chart with
horizontal lines, S & P - Rally Into Resistance,]. The small range rally on
decreasing volume was unable to reach that area, and that, too, tells us the
character of the rally is weak, and it should lead to a resumption of the
down trend. Next chart.
This is a 30 minute chart that shows how narrow the bars are at the high,
contrasted by the wider range bars when price declines. The day session
high was 1173. Around 9 a.m., CST, price made a low, 1161.75, and then
rallied to close at the upper end of the range, [the bar is located in the
middle of the session]. That activity had to be respected as a show of
strength. We waited for a wide range bar with a low end close, underneath
the trading range ,to confirm a resumption of the down trend was likely
underway, and that was a place to get short, third bar from the end.
What we need to see on Friday is continuation of the exhibited weakness.
The expectation is for a retest of the lower levels from last week. The initial
support target is the 1141 area. How the market gets there, if there is a
decline, will tell us the likelihood of where price may eventually go.Back To edgetraderplus' Instablog HomePage »

The St. Petersburg Bitcoin Bowl was supposed to be a great success for Bitcoin, as Bitpay made a three-year deal to be the title sponsor of the event. Business Insider said "The attention brought to bitcoin by the game will only further boost its ascension into the mainstream. Bitpay itself bragged of 100 businesses accepting Bitcoin.
But this year's bowl was just the St. Petersburg bowl, as Bitpay had to drop out of the deal.
[caption id="attachment_263074" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Photo by CityOfStPete on Flickr[/caption]
Nobody's using Bitcoin in what Bitpay called the Bitcoin Capital of the World. Those 100 businesses? They've moved on and forgotten now. The Bitcoin Accepted Here stickers are dull and faded.
Of course, the price of Bitcoin was over $600 when the deal was made, down from the peak of over $1,000 (you know, back when people said Bitcoin's fixed supply would cause it to rise in price forever). When the deal officially ended, that price was down in the low $200s. On top of that, thieves stole $1.8 million worth of Bitcoin from the company, money that could never be retrieved due to the irreversible nature of Bitcoin transactions.
Bitcoin has recovered to the 400s, but it's obvious the shine is long gone from this hype train. Bitcoin is like the caricature of fiat money: it's a volatile mess, based on nothing but the faith of its excited investors. It doesn't even have the IRS and Legal Tender behind it.
My prediction: Blockchain technology is going to get used by big businesses internally, to manage transactions done in US Dollars and other forms of real money, and Bitcoin investors will freak out because they will feel like their technology has been hijacked by the very businesses they were hoping to defeat.
And the next St. Petersburg Bowl sponsor? It'll work in US Dollars.

When the chips are down and the cards stacked against you, improving supplier compliance can get lost in the shuffle. Regardless, you'll need to take the proper measures to protect your business and grow your brand. Join Pierre Mitchell, chief research officer at Spend Matters; David Burrows, sustainability supply chain manager at Subway/IPCoop; and Pierre-Francois Thaler, co-founder and co-CEO at EcoVadis on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 10 a.m. CDT, for Improving Your Supplier Compliance Odds When the Cards Are Stacked Against You.

Organizations Want to Improve Supply Payment, But Many Have Complex Manual Processes in Place
Improving and automating the supplier payment process remain top priorities for finance and accounts payable professionals in the year ahead, according to recent research. Tipalti, a provider of automatic supply payment solutions, released the results of its survey aimed at identifying the top supplier payment trends of 2016. It showed 44% of respondents identified streamlining and automating supplier payments as a top business goal for the next 12–18 months.
Be a Master of Assets if You Want to Succeed in an as-a-Service Economy
The world is undergoing a fundamental transformation to a services economy, fueled primarily by the digital disruption happening within our personal lives and within industry. Within business, digital technology is allowing companies to unbundle and rebundle their value chains (i.e., physical goods, information, money and people) in innovative new ways that can make those value chains more valuable by not only making them smarter but also making them more flexible, personalized and on-demand for the customer who craves the ideal of "free, perfect, and now." And the key concept in making this happen is the concept of the service.
Reinventing Supplier Data and Intelligence Businesses: The Premise
The supplier data and information business is broken. The Spend Matters analyst team came up with this premise when we saw that a number of well-known supplier content and enrichment providers had no reason being on the 50 to Know and 50 to Watch lists this year. Our research and discussions suggest that incumbent providers in this sector have lost the confidence of the market, their clients and even members of their organizations in their ability to deliver solutions that hit the mark. Time has stopped for some — they are selling solutions better suited for the year 2005 than 2015.
Manufacturing Buyers Look to Expand Supply Base in 2016
A majority of manufacturing sourcing professionals expect to increase or maintain their supply base this year, with buyers looking to source goods from new areas around the world. Nearly 40% of manufacturing buyers surveyed for the latest MFGWatch 2016 report expect to grow their supply base in 2016. Thirty-seven percent said they will maintain their current supply base. The MFGWatch report, which identifies trends and issues in the U.S. manufacturing industry, showed manufacturers are generally optimistic about the year ahead and expect their firms to grow in 2016.
5 Actionable Strategies For Driving Social Collaboration in Procurement
We all hear about the rise of social collaboration in business beyond just posting our résumés on LinkedIn. Many of us are likely using at least a few social tools in our personal lives — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat. Even more are using social tools built on peer-to-peer and crowdsourcing-type models. For example, UberX or UberPool have become ubiquitous as crowdsourcing a method of getting from Point A to Point B using peers rather than professionals. Yet in business — and especially within procurement — social collaboration has been largely limited to the use of LinkedIn or rudimentary collaboration capabilities built into select procurement technologies.
Automakers Need to Improve Their Supplier Relationships
Automakers need to do a better job of working with suppliers to succeed in an increasingly competitive market, according to a new analysis. The North American Automotive OEM-Supplier Working Relations Index Study from Planning Perspectives Inc., a Mississippi-based consulting firm, looked at six original equipment manufacturers and their working relationships with suppliers. None of the automakers received scores on the index that Planning Perspectives considers "good" or "very good."
5 Critical Supply Risk Mitigation Principles for Your Sourcing Process
Supply chain risk management (SCRM) is becoming a top priority in procurement, as organizations lose millions because of cost volatility, supply disruption, non-compliance fines and incidents that cause damage to the organizational brand and reputation. Bribes to shady government officials, salmonella in the spinach and forced labor in the supply chain can all result in brand-damaging headlines that can cost an organization tens of millions in sales and hundred of millions in brand damage. And while reputation may only be important for name brands, cost volatility and supply disruption affect all manufacturers.
IT Professionals Lack Confidence in Suppliers' Ability to Protect Data
Half of IT professionals are not confident their suppliers have effective security measures in place to protect sensitive data, but many are not requiring suppliers to pass security audits and some even continue to do business with suppliers that fail security standards. These were some of the key findings in a recent report from Tripwire, which provides IT operations solutions. Of the more than 320 IT professionals surveyed, 47% said they are not confident in their business partners' security measures.
Defining Your Solution Approach: Supplier Management 101 (Part 3)
In Part 1 of this series, we introduced supplier management from a process and methodology standpoint before mapping it to various solution areas that are out in the marketplace. Supplier management often is called SLM because of its lifecycle focus, which spans initial analysis (analysis and opportunity identification), planning (sourcing), negotiation (contract management) and execution (performance), and closes the process loop by leading back to the analysis phase of the strategic sourcing cycle as a result of future opportunity identification. Third-party management (3PM), which deals with non-suppliers that are also critical to your organization — such as government agencies, third-party logistics, partners and (media) agencies — is simply the application of the appropriate finely-tuned subset of supplier management capabilities to the third party that needs to be managed for organizational success. And, of course, you also need good supplier information. In this installment we cover what is in scope from a process and information standpoint before mapping to solution categories that are available in the market.
The Need for Food Retailers To Work With Suppliers & Improve Product Transparency
Consumers today are demanding more information than ever before on the food they buy and eat. It's not a new phenomenon, but it's an important point for food companies and retailers to take note of, especially as they compete for customers' dollars and loyalty. A new report, however, has shown nearly two-thirds of consumers don't think food companies are transparent enough — they want more food production information than they are finding at the grocery store.
How Low Commodity Prices Expose Procurement to New Risks
A flood of foreign imports and a resilient dollar have depressed commodity prices for the past two years. For many procurement organizations, this may seem like an ideal moment to renegotiate contracts and secure unexpected savings. What lies beneath this opening, however, can wreak havoc on procurement. For every opportunity these depressed market conditions create, they reveal just as many new risks — ones procurement can rarely manage to full effect without the help of predictive analytics.

In her U.S. debut, Michaelis tells a sweeping story about a thief-turned-hero named Farhad, who mounts a sacred white tiger and journeys across a desert to rescue the god Krishna's daughter from a demon king. Amid the chaos of colonial India, Farhad calls often on the Hindu gods, but different faiths live in close proximity. Among other people and places, Farhad is led to a beautiful, spiritual Englishwoman, to the Bodhi tree under which the Buddha found enlightenment and to an Islamic mosque. Farhad's quest is relayed as a story within a story, set into an overarching frame about a poor girl named Safia, married off to a rich man who may kill her when he discovers she is not a virgin. Readers may feel as if they've encountered one of the many tricksters populating this book when this thrilling frame first opens upon Farhad; a third of the novel will have elapsed before Safia reappears, just when Farhad's story is finally taking off. Fortunately, the evolution of the relationship between the sacred tiger and Farhad is ripe with emotion, and the eventual resolution between the two stories is satisfying. Michaelis's novel takes commitment, but proves thoroughly worthwhile. Ages 12-up. (Nov.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

How does a story of India begin? Does it begin with the three great rivers—the Ganges, the Yamuna, the unseen Sarasvati pouring her dreaming waters down from the snowy mountains to the hot, dry plain?
This bewitching story within a story, set in magical India, explores the power of narrative to change the course of lives. Raka, the doomed young bride of a violent merchant, weaves a tale of rescue so vivid, it might just come true. She tells a servant boy the story of Farhad, a thief and unlikely hero, who must retrieve a famous jewel in order to save a kidnapped princess from a demon king. Farhad's unforgettable companion on the journey is a wisecracking white tiger with an unnatural fear of water. It is their unusual and funny friendship, and the final sacrifice that they must make, that is the heart of this grand, beautiful novel about summoning the hero within.

Editorial Reviews
Gr 8 Up
In this fairy tale of India set during the early 1900s, Raka, a young bride who is awaiting certain death at the hands of her evil husband, spins a story for Lalit, a servant in the Rajah's house. In her tale, a con man and a thief, Farhad, is recruited to rescue the Hindu god Krishna's daughter from marriage to a demon king. He is aided by a sacred white tiger and carries a bloodstone that almost causes his death. As the two stories intertwine, the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred. The plot is fast paced and exciting, and the story gives an excellent overview of the conflicts of India at the time of British occupation, and of Hindu religious beliefs. The factual background adds to the overall feel of a wildly colorful and diverse country. The character development is also admirable, as readers see Farhad grow from a scared 16-year-old thief to a hero willing to die for his cause. What is most amazing about the story is the beautiful language and phrases that make readers feel as though they are sitting in India listening to Raka's story. A distinguished book for older fairy-tale fans.-Jennifer-Lynn Draper, Children's Literature Consultant, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

Skillfully interlacing Indian mythology with its history and culture, this ornately woven tale shows the beauty and power of India during the twentieth century. Michaelis's captivating words, blossoming somewhere between poetry and prose reveals the influence of storytelling. Strong themes of redemption, rebirth, forgiveness and personal conviction toward the greater good are delineated powerfully throughout the text, and even though some of the content is for more mature audiences, its handled in a way that makes things like sexuality, evil, and death appear symbolic in the overall journey toward life and growth. I recommend this text to all readers 14+. -Lindsey Miller, www.lindseyslibrary.com

Archaeology Minor - Undergraduate - 2012 University Catalog
You are viewing the 2012 University Catalog. Please see the newest version of the University Catalog for the most current version of this program's requirements.
Jointly sponsored by the departments of Anthropology, Classics and General Humanities, and Art and Design, together with support from the Department of Earth and Environmental Studies, this minor offers an interdisciplinary program in the study of ancient and other past cultures through investigation of their material remains. Coursework includes overviews of ancient Old World and New World cultures and the study of archaeological method and theory. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the extensive coursework offered by the University in modern and ancient languages and in the natural and social sciences. The overall course of study in Archaeology helps lead to a sophisticated understanding of material remains in the larger context of human society. It also shows how material evidence can compare with and supplement the evidence of written texts that are available for historical cultures (e.g., those of the Romans of the Imperial age or European settlers in 18th century North America).
Through programs run directly by the University's Center for Heritage and Archaeological Studies in northern New Jersey (for prehistoric and historical North American archaeology), as well as through faculty-conducted projects in other regions (e.g., the Caribbean or Mediterranean), students have excellent opportunities to participate in fieldwork as part of their curriculum and/or preprofessional experience in archaeology. Here they are able to develop basic fieldwork skills in surveying, excavating, mapping, and artifact analysis. In addition, training in geoarchaeology is available from MSU's Earth and Environmental Studies faculty.
The Archaeology minor makes a good complement to any liberal arts or professional studies major. In general archaeology has recently become a subject of great interest to many parts of our society. Students who pursue careers in the media, the travel industry, and international business (to name a few) profit from this interdisciplinary study. Moreover, historic preservation legislation has resulted in important employment opportunities in the private (applied archaeology) and public (government agencies, state museums) sectors, especially for students who major in Anthropology. Government funded or permitted development projects frequently require environmental impact studies, including archaeological and heritage investigations; these kinds of studies are typically carried out by heritage preservation or large environmental engineering firms. Finally, students who wish to pursue master's or doctoral level studies in preparation for a career in teaching, research, or museum work will find the Archaeology minor to be excellent background, especially when combined with a major such as Anthropology, Art History, Classics, or Earth and Environmental Studies.

Course Descriptions:
ANTH103: Prehistoric Archaeology (3 hours lecture)
Have you ever wanted to time travel and experience a bygone era in a faraway place, say 20,000 years ago? Except for science fiction books like "The Time Machine," you might think this is fantasy. But do not despair,for we can still embark on a journey into the land of prehistory through archaeology. One might ask,"How is archaeology different from science fiction or novel writing?" No, we don't have time machines but we do have shovels. In this course, we will learn how archaeologists can say what they say without venturing into fantasy land.

Americans Don't Want to Choose Between Economic, Environmental Goals
Businesses adopting sustainable practices may take heart in the fact that more than half of Americans believe that economic and environmental goals are aligned. And when it comes to public policy, those surveyed said the U.S. government does not have to choose between the economy and the environment, according to a new poll released by Harris Interactive. Most people surveyed believe the government should be making an effort to be environmentally conscious.
The Harris Poll surveyed 2,848 adults in the United States online Jan. 12-19.
About 51 percent of respondents said that environmental and economic goals should be aligned. Just 31 percent said that one must choose between the two, and 18 percent were unsure.
Key findings indicate that despite current economic conditions 46 percent of Americans say that the issue of environmental conservation is more important to them personally than it was a few years ago while 47 percent say it is no more or less important. Only 7 percent of Americans say it is less important to them.
In addition, the survey found that Americans are doing more regarding the environment. Forty-five percent of respondents say they are making more effort to be environmentally conscious than they were a year ago, while 51 percent say they are making the same amount of effort.
However, when it comes to governments being more environmentally conscious, just over half of Americans say governments are making the same amount of effort as they were a year ago while 35 percent of respondents say they are making more of an effort. But, two-thirds of Americans (66 percent) believe governments should be making more of an effort than they were a year ago. Click here for complete results of the poll.

Around the PurseBlog offices, we spend an inordinate amount of time poring over photos of celebs and their favorite handbags, and over time, one thing has become apparent: famous people really, really love Chanel bags. Non-famous people do too, of course, but those photos are harder to come by.
Yes, it's true: the Earth has almost completed a full rotation since Kylie Jenner's last birthday. Her nineteenth was a more low-key affair than her last, and she celebrated it a full week early, for some reason.
Paris Couture Week is upon us, which means celebs are flocking to Charles de Gaulle en route to runways and front rows all over town. This week, the Givenchy Lucrezia Bag is especially popular with Paris Couture Week attendees.
Celebs can cycle through designer handbags at a break-neck speed, so when certain celebs keep carrying the same bags for weeks or even months, we notice. Case in point: Chrissy Teigen is currently only carrying The Row Classic 5 Tote, though she mixes it up by carrying the same style in a variety of sizes and colorways.
Celebs are always fond of their Birkins, and that certainly didn't change this week, but we have something far more surprising in this celebrity handbag roundup: a bag that retails for under $150. You read that correctly.
Remember the humble Rockstud? It hasn't really gone anywhere, but it's been a spell since we've seen celebs demonstrate the kind of affection for Valentino's signature stud that we saw them demonstrate last week. The popular Valentino My Rockstud Tote seemed like an indication that the brand was moving in a more minimal direction, possibly towards a less Rockstudded future, but we doubt that's happening any time soon.
Every year, Sports Illustrated takes advantage of the surplus of models congregating in NYC during NYFW by throwing a few launch parties for their latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. When I say "a few", I mean it: this year's launch even included a two-day, two-city fan festival in NYC and Nashville (?), in addition to all the usual high-profile, celeb-and-press-only events.
New York Fashion Week is officially upon us, and celebrities have amped up their handbag game accordingly. This week's picks are a lot more sparkly and colorful, as well as noticeably more high-end. NYFW gives celebs plenty of opportunities to carry their preferred totes and satchels by day and their most dazzling designer clutches by night, though some opt for bags with chains!
A lot of this week's celeb handbag picks just make you want to reach out and touch them. But, we strongly advise against that. There's no telling what Iggy Azalea will do if you randomly walk up and stroke her Fendi bag.
This week, everyone from Jessica Alba to Catherine Zeta-Jones was snapped at the airport, and they were ALL carrying handbags valued in excess of $2K. Hey, it's awards season, and you can't let TSA catch you with anything reasonably affordable whilst you're zipping in from Paris Couture Week or exotic destinations unknown, you know?
Not all designers are as liberal with their celeb freebies as others, and this sometimes makes it hard to assess the true success of any given designer style. On the one hand, we can be sure that the celebs who do carry these bags do so because they genuinely like them, but on the other hand, it's hard to know how many celebrities even shop for themselves, even when they seem to do little else.

Indeed, and that's a good thing. "virt" needs an exception because the framebuffer is "exceptionally" broken on aarch64/KVM :) > Currently we > allow only QXL to be used as secondary video device Yeah, I noticed that, and I was wondering if virtio-gpu-pci would qualify at some point. > and now with > the virtio-gpu-pci it could be also used as secondary video device. > > The solution would be simple, there is no need to add a new video > model 'virtio-gpu', we will use the existing model 'virtio', but > depending on architecture and also whether it's primary or > secondary video device we will use appropriate device. Sounds good to me (and the patch at hand should be compatible with the idea). I'll have to read the rest of the thread to see if Andrea is okay with the idea :) Thanks!

Cloud Security Basics
We've all been told to save everything in the 'cloud' if we do not want to end up dealing with the messes of unrecoverable files. True enough, ever since the cloud technology was introduced, data storage and recovery became more seamless than ever. It specifically made gadget change and upgrade a lot easier for the tech savvy people, too.
However, throughout the years and the many cloud security breaches that rocked the digital world, the conversation will easily turn to how 'secured' the cloud really is. It's no surprise why some people still remain reluctant about completely relying on cloud technology, especially when it comes to data protection and privacy. Whether you are an individual or a company relying on cloud technology, here are the crucial and most recent information you need to know in order to ensure your privacy and security:
1) There is a different security level for every cloud application and data plan
This is the most basic, yet commonly overlooked aspect of cloud security, especially by the general users. An individual or company should therefore make sure that the cloud provider has the exact security features required for their data. For instance, cloud security for a financial firm will be totally different from that of a health provider.
2) Know that the app provider share the same cloud access as you
To ensure full privacy and protection, it is crucial to be clear with your app provider to always encrypt your data before it goes to the cloud, especially for those that are primary to the operations and reputation of the company. Check out the encryption policies of your cloud provider before going into any further commitments.
3) Consider the physical structure of the cloud provider
The physical state and structure of the app provider's headquarters are often not included when we look at their security features. The entire protection of your data is also dependent on how resilient the physical location of your provider is, so make sure to include this in your search for the right cloud application.
4) Every cloud app provider have their recourse plan
More often than not, a cloud provider already have their guarantees and recourse in the event of a cloud security breach. With this, you are assured that as long as all the necessary protocols are followed, your data will remain intact in the cloud. Those controversial security breaches only happened due to the content but not on how severe the security damage was.
Cloud computing's advantages will continue to offset the risks, as long as users are also vigilant enough in handling the technology.

Spanish Ballroom
Rentals Freeze
As of July 10, we have begun the 2016 Request for Proposals (RFP) process for the social dance program at Glen Echo Park. During this time, we will be scheduling all dance events that will take place in the park in 2017. No rental events may be scheduled or booked for 2017 while the dance calendar is being set. Instead, anyone interested in renting in 2017 may be placed on a waiting list for up to two select dates (potential availability for 2017 dates can be given by request; see phone number and email address below). The order of the waiting list is first come, first served. There is no obligation or deposit required to be on the list. However, being placed on the list does not guarantee a date, because it is possible the date(s) selected may be booked for a dance during the RFP process.

What Was That? August 25, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.

So we are in the pool today (a too warm 90 degree one), and we are looking at the birdfeeder by the papaya when out pops this squirrel. HUH??
Mark saw one a year or so ago, but since it hadn't reappeared, we both thought that a hawk or vulture got it. But no, it was having some of the available banana, then ran back down the papaya tree trunk into the heliconia underbrush. We are getting some great birds, butterflies, dragonflies and now squirrels.
A Trip Around Our Garden August 12, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.
4 comments
I took a walk around our house in Costa Rica to see how all the plants are doing since we left. Everything is just bursting out color. Butterflies and birds wizz around unconcerned about our presence. The large Oropendulas, Brown Jays, blue and white swallows, and our nightly "singer" are all here and thriving. Our gardener says the Oropendulas will be building nests in our Poro trees soon. These are heavy woven, pendulus sacks, quite a sight to see. Hummers are also all about. I put up two feeders for them close to my window so I can see their antics. All is well and right with the world down here, peaceful and green. Ahhhh, we are letting the relaxation sweep over us.
Do Something Good For Someone Today August 7, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.

Once upon a time (OK, two years ago), I put out a over-ripe papaya for the birds to feast on in Costa Rica. Now, two years have passed and the birds have rewarded me with a tree full of papaya as a return of my favor. I am reminded of the old adage, "Whatever you give, comes back to you tenfold". So, as you pass your day today, do something for someone else and although you wont exactly know when or where, your kindness will be returned to you tenfold, or in my case, fifty fold.
Fairy Tale Jacket and Mermaid Tail Shawl August 4, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.
2 comments
You can see I have been "away" from posting for quite awhile. Well, this is what happens when you decide to get surgery to fix an ever increasing pain in your foot. I had to have a toe fusion (yeah, with titanium screws) because I lost the cartilage in my big toe joint – the one where all your weight goes when you walk, run, etc. It had been getting worse over the last 5 years, so I made the decision to get surgery. I know it was stupid to not do my homework on the length of recovery for this operation. Since this was a genetic thing, my brother recently got his fixed and was only incapacitated for a week or so. I was expecting the same treatment, but no, I had to have a more permanent fix. This caused me to be in a hard, non-weight bearing cast for 5 weeks. Think about that – being one-legged with a 20lb cast on the opposite foot up to the knee, that I couldn't put on the floor and had to be elevated 99% of the time – 5 WEEKS!!!. I wasn't prepared for that level of incapacitation. I had been a ball of energy one day and laid low the next. Oh the humanity!!
And I wasn't too creative because of all the pain going on down there. Then, when I got the cast off, all my other 25 joints in the foot and ankle had frozen up from non-use. A month of painful therapy got me walking again. But then my creativity started popping and I was working out a new idea to greatly enhance another boxy jacket done on the Standard machine by Bill King. I added sizes, more shaping, ruffles, tails, button closures, changed gauge, added new and more available yarns and then made a separate shawl design based on the jacket pattern. Hence, the Fairy Tale Jacket and Mermaid Tail Shawl. I took some quick pics of two samples. I am working on sizes, what yarns to use and refining details. I should have it down soon and will put it on my Etsy site when it's finished. The "Sugarplum" Fairy Tale Jacket is in Patons' Lace Sequin yarn (3 skeins) and the Mermaid Tail Shawl is done in either one skein of JoAnn's Rainbow Boucle or Lion Brand's new Shawl in a Ball. I am also working a long sleeve Fairy Tail in Patons' Glam Stripes. Sizes go from Small to X-Large.
Project – Raggedy Wig Hat – Machine Knit April 16, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Free Patterns Page.

For everyone that wanted this fun Raggedy Wig Hat, I have made a couple of these to hone the instructions and demonstrated it for my Cone Connection Machine Knit Club at Newton's Knits in Anaheim, CA.
Raggedy Wig Hat
By Linda Jensen
Bulky Machine: T=6
Red Heart Yarn = one skein (8oz.), solid color
Wig Hat Base
E-wrap 16 needles (ndls) (L7 – 0 – R9), K 2 rows (rws)
Begin Short Rows:
*Carriage On Hold (COH) Short Row (S/R) 1 ndl farthest from the carriage, EOR, 7X
Cancel Hold, K 2 rws.**
Repeat * to ** one more time.
E-Wrap 10 more ndls closest to the carriage.
Continue * to ** 5 more times.
Cast off all ndls.
Sew up top seam and hole. Steam lightly on a head block.
Cut fringe: 16" lengths for fringe around the head and 8" lengths for the bang area (triangle from top of hole to both sides of wig base. Start at lowest bottom row, hanging two strands of fringe about ½ " apart. Each row will be about ½ " up from there. Keep bang area unfringed until all the longer fringe is tied, then complete the bangs in that triangle area.
After fringing complete, try on wig and cut bangs to your preferred length, leave all other fringe "raggedy". Add bobby pins or clips inside to secure to your own hair underneath the cap. Optional: if you have no hair, weave in elastic around the edge to hold it onto your head.
New Items For Cherry Blossom Festival – Tomorrow!! April 2, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.
add a comment
Tomorrow is the Cherry Blossom Festival and I will be in Booth #7. Here are some new things I have been working on that you will have fun trying on tomorrow.
First, for your consideration, some cute Raggedy Knit Wigs. These have a knit cap underneath that fit to your head. Also, I will have my hand knit "Flip" wigs, some with Elf Ears for fantasy and fun.
Second, I have been working on Knitted Headbands (inside are metal headband structures that wont break like the plastic ones). These are decorated with crocheted flowers or felt or ribbon bows.
Then, I must admit that I have a huge stash of the most beautiful yarns that I have made into Yarn Hair Falls to enhance or add too your own hair style! I have them in so many fabulous colors, in Long, Medium and Short lengths to mix and match, layer and twirl, clip or pin – for any length hair.
Stop by and see all the wonderful events at the Cherry Blossom Festival at Colombia Park (cross streets in Torrance are 190th and Prairie) and of course, come by and try some of these beauties on – you will love them!

The Parrots Are Here! February 12, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.
add a comment
We are back in Costa Rica right now and it has been raining, or more like drizzling about 1″ per day. Now is the time that the Poro trees start to bloom and we have MANY of them on our property. Besides the usual birds we are seeing (hummers, saltators, robins, kiskadees, blue and gray tanagers, palm tanagers, red-rumped tanagers, collared sparrows, oropendulas), we now have parrots coming in to eat the orange Poro flowers on the trees. Can you spot the parrot in the picture? It is a Red-Lored Parrot (has red feather on forehead, a light beak and blends into the leaves with the overall green plumage, but also has red and blue feathers on the wings. Also, along with these are the Mealy Parrots, green overall with black heads. They make quite a racket with they are flying in their groups, but are quiet in the trees as they munch away on the delicious flowers.
Working On New Items For Spring Fairs January 27, 2016Posted by myblueheavenknits in Uncategorized.

I am not sure I have recovered yet from the Holidays, family visits, parties and etc. We are having our Landscaping Architect work on our new backyard so it has been hectic. We lost three birch trees (they were dying all over the area due to drought), and decided to do a Mediterranean backyard like our front yard, with a new, larger patio with flagstones, drought tolerant plants, new sprinkler system and lighting. Also, January is our month for doing taxes, both California Sales Tax for my business and then Federal and State Income taxes. Oh, and we are also packing for Costa Rica in the midst of all this.
But I did spend some time in the studio (My Blue Heaven) to escape all the madness outside. I am developing a new pattern, "Fringe Benefits", since fringe is all the rage right now. Here are a couple of pics of my current versions. The black one is a rayon boucle mixed with a 2/30 black acrylic and the fringe is Incredible ribbon by Lion Brand. So sorry they have discontinued that ribbon, but you can easily by one ball on EBay. The second one in Blue is a triple strand of mixed medium blue skinny boucles and the fringing is done with one skein of Hobby Lobby's Special Effects. I think they still make that yarn, but you can also get it on EBay.
I need to refine it more, but I can work on it in Costa Rica where I will have some peace and quiet. Finding yarns that are available to knitter's everywhere are my problem right now. I usually have to make MANY different versions to get what I see in my mind's eye of the finished project.
Also, I am hand knitting a few wig hats for the spring, when I need to take a break from designing at the machine:
I will be doing them in several colors, but also enhancing them with crocheted flowers, clip-on butterflies, headbands of all types – my imagination knows no bounds. This is not my pattern though – it is called the Flick and you can get the hand knitting pattern on Ravelry, but I added more "flip" at the bottom and bangs.

In this creative work experience participants will be lead through a tried and true process and receive tools for planning curriculum that will engage students and develop their skills and socio-emotional literacy. The workshop takes place on October 7 from 9:30am to 12:30pm in the DCYF office.

Just found this:
An Alitalia Boeing 767-300, operating flight AZ851, that was taxiing for takeoff to Milan struck a parked South African Airbus A340-300, that was about to continue flight SA203 inbound from Jo'burg and bound for New York JFK, at Dakar's Yoff Airport (Senegal) on Sunday.
The SAA jet sustained damage to its fuselage and rudder, no further info available at this time.
Does someone know more ?
Is SAA already operating the 343 ? My understanding was that the JNB-DKR-JFK service was operated by a 744.
