I'm taking a break from knitting and looking into crocheting again. Haven't done this for some years and am having trouble at the beginning with the instructions.
I am making the base of the bag.
Instructions are; Base, chain 43
1st round; 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook, 1 sc in each ch until end of chain.
Do not turn.
Working into other side of chain, work 1 sc in each remaining loop of chain. Join with ss to first sc. 84 stitches.
I don't understand how to work on this while "not turning" and how am I winding up with 84 stitches which I guess I'm joining to form a circle?
Any help would be appreciated.
where to go to for the various visual description. thanks sharie
There are various verbal descriptions on what to do but maybe this will help you visualize:
Think about your foundation chain as a something long and flat, like a ruler. You will be working your original stitches along one long side of this ruler, then you will "turn the corner" when you work that chain at the very end, just like you were working that short side of the ruler. Now you are going to go back down along the other long side of the ruler.
Or think about your foundation chain as the center of an oval track. You will be going around and around the oval track -- you will not be going halfway down the track and then turn around to go back up the way you just came.
I'm not understanding the do not turn, working into other side of ch, work 1 sc in each rem loop of ch, join with sl st to fir
st sc. 84 sc, anyone have a visual, PLEASE Thanks Sharie

A look at family caregiving
Providing care for a family member in need is an age-old act of kindness, love, and loyalty. And as life expectancies increase, medical treatments advance, and increasing numbers of people live with chronic illness and disabilities, more and more of us will participate in the caregiving process.
There are many different types of family caregiver situations. You may be taking care of an aging parent or a handicapped spouse. Or perhaps you're caring for a child with a physical or mental illness. But regardless of your particular circumstances, you're facing a challenging new role.
If you're like most family caregivers, you aren't trained for the responsibilities you now face. And you probably never anticipated you'd be in this situation. You may not even live very close to your loved one. At the same time, you love your family member and want to provide the best care you can. The good news is that you don't have to be a nursing expert, a superhero, or a saint in order to be a good caregiver. With the right help and support, you can be a good caregiver without having to sacrifice yourself in the process.
New to family caregiving?
- Learn as much as you can about your family member's illness and about how to be a caregiver. The more you know, the less anxiety you'll feel about your new role and the more effective you'll be.
Seek out other caregivers. It helps to know you're not alone. It's comforting to give and receive support from others who understand what you're going through.
Trust your instincts. Remember, you know your family member best. Don't ignore what doctors and specialists tell you, but listen to your gut, too.
Encourage your loved one's independence. Caregiving does not mean doing everything for your loved one. Be open to technologies and strategies that allow your family member to be as independent as possible.
Know your limits. Be realistic about how much of your time and yourself you can give. Set clear limits, and communicate those limits to doctors, family members, and other people involved.
Family caregiving tip 1: Accept your feelings
Caregiving can trigger a host of difficult emotions, including anger, fear, resentment, guilt, helplessness, and grief. It's important to acknowledge and accept what you're feeling, both good and bad. Don't beat yourself up over your doubts and misgivings. These feelings don't mean that you don't love your family member—they simply mean you're human.
What you may feel about being a family caregiver
- Anxiety and worry – You may worry about how you will handle the additional responsibilities of caregiving and what will happen to your family member if something happens to you. You may also fear what will happen in the future as your loved one's illness progresses.
- Anger or resentment – You may feel angry or resentful toward the person you're caring for, even though you know it's irrational. Or you might be angry at the world in general, or resentful of other friends or family members who don't have your responsibilities.
- Guilt – You may feel guilty for not doing more, being a "better" caregiver, having more patience, accepting your situation with more equanimity, or in the case of long distance caregiving, not being available more often.
- Grief – There are many losses that can come with caregiving (the healthy future you envisioned with your spouse or child; the goals and dreams you've had to set aside). If the person you're caring for is terminally ill, you're also dealing with that grief.
Even when you understand why you're feeling the way you do, it can still be upsetting. In order to deal with your feelings, it's important to talk about them. Don't keep your emotions bottled up, but find at least one person you trust to confide in.
Places you can turn for caregiver support include:
- Family members or friends who will listen without judgment
- Your church, temple, or other place of worship
- Caregiver support groups at a local hospital or online
- A therapist, social worker, or counselor
- National caregiver organizations
- Organizations specific to your family member's illness or disability
Family caregiving tip 2: Don't try to do it all
Even if you're the primary family caregiver, you can't do everything on your own, especially if you're caregiving from a distance (more than an hour's drive from your family member). You'll need help from friends, siblings, and other family members, as well as health professionals. If you don't get the support you need, you'll quickly burn out—which will compromise your ability to provide care.
But before you can ask for help, you need to have a clear understanding of your family member's needs. Take some time to list all the caregiving tasks required, being as specific as possible. Then determine which activities you are able to meet (be realistic about your capabilities and time). The remaining tasks on the list are ones you'll need to ask others to help you with.
Asking family and friends for help
It's not always easy to ask for help, even when you desperately need it. Perhaps you're afraid to impose on others or worried that your request will be resented or rejected. But if you simply make your needs known, you may be pleasantly surprised by the willingness of others to pitch in. Many times, friends and family members want to help, but don't know how. Make it easier for them:
- Set aside one-on-one time to talk to the person
- Go over the list of caregiving needs you previously drew up
- Point out areas in which they might be of service (maybe your brother is good at Internet research, or your friend is a financial whiz)
- Ask the person if they'd like to help, and if so, in what way
- Make sure the person understands what would be most helpful to both you and the caregiving recipient
Family caregiving tip 3: Attend to your own needs
Pablo Casals, the world-renowned cellist, said, "The capacity to care is the thing that gives life its deepest significance and meaning." It's essential that you receive the support you need, so you don't lose that capacity. While you're caring for your loved one, don't forget about your own needs. Caregivers need care, too.
Emotional needs of family caregivers
- Take time to relax daily and learn how to regulate yourself and de-stress when you start to feel overwhelmed.
- Keep a journal. Write down your thoughts and feelings. This will give you perspective and serve as a way to release strong feelings.
- Talk with someone to make sense of your situation and your feelings.
- Feed your spirit. Pray, meditate, or do another activity that makes you feel part of something greater. Try to find meaning in your life and in your role as a caregiver.
- Watch out for signs of depression and anxiety, and get professional help if needed.
Social & recreational needs of family caregivers
- Stay social. Make it a priority to visit regularly with other people.
Nurture your close relationships. Don't let yourself become isolated.
- Do things you enjoy. Laughter and joy can help keep you going when you face trials, stress, and pain.
- Maintain balance in your life. Don't give up activities that are important to you, such as your work or your hobbies.
- Give yourself a break. Take regular breaks from caregiving,
and give yourself an extended break at least once a week.
- Find a community. Join or reestablish your connection to a religious group, social club, or civic organization. The broader your support network, the better.
Physical needs of family caregivers
- Exercise regularly. Try to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise, three times per week.
Exercise is one of the best ways to relieve stress and boost your energy. So get moving, even if you're tired.
- Eat right. Well-nourished bodies are better prepared to cope with stress and get through busy days. Keep your energy
up and your mind clear by eating nutritious meals at regular times throughout the day.
- Avoid alcohol and drugs. It can be tempting to turn to substances for escape when life feels overwhelming, but they
can easily compromise the quality of your caregiving. Instead, try dealing with problems head on and with a clear mind.
- Get enough sleep. Aim for an average of eight hours of solid, uninterrupted sleep every night. Otherwise, your energy level, productivity, and ability to handle stress will suffer.
- Keep up with your own health care. Go to the doctor and dentist on schedule, and keep up with your own prescriptions or medical therapy. As a caregiver, you need to stay as strong and healthy as possible.
Family caregiving tip 4: Take advantage of community services
There are services to help caregivers in most communities, and the cost is often based on ability to pay or covered by the care receiver's insurance. Services that may be available in your community include adult day care centers, home health aides, home-delivered meals, respite care, transportation services, and skilled nursing.
- Caregiver services in your community – Call your local senior center, senior services organization, county information and referral service, university gerontology department, family service, or hospital social work unit for contact suggestions. In the U.S. call your local Area Agency on Aging.
- Caregiver support for veterans – If your care recipient is a veteran in the U.S., home health care coverage, financial support, nursing home care, and adult day care benefits may be available. Some Veterans Administration programs are free, while others require co-payments, depending upon the veteran's status, income, and other criteria.
- Your family member's affiliations – Fraternal organizations such as the Elks, Eagles, or Moose lodges may offer some assistance if your family member is a longtime dues-paying member. This help may take the form of phone check-ins, home visits, or transportation.
- Community transportation services – Many community transportation services are free for your care recipient, while others may have a nominal fee or ask for a donation. In the U.S., your local Area Agency on Aging can help you locate transportation to and from adult day care, senior centers, shopping malls, and doctor's appointments.
- Telephone check-ins – Telephone reassurance provides prescheduled calls to homebound older adults to reduce their isolation and monitor their well-being. Check with local religious groups, senior centers, and other public or nonprofit organizations.
- Adult day care – If your loved one is well enough, consider the possibility of adult day care. An adult day care center can provide you with needed breaks during the day or week, and your loved one with some valuable diversions and activities.

Family caregiving tip 5: Provide long distance care
Many people take on the role of designated caregiver for a family member—often an older relative or sibling—while living more than an hour's travel away. Trying to manage a loved one's care from a distance can add to feelings of guilt and anxiety and present many other obstacles. But there are steps you can take to prepare for caregiving emergencies and ease the burden of responsibility.
- Set up an alarm system for your loved one. Because of the distance between you, you won't be able to respond in time to a life-threatening emergency, so subscribe to an electronic alert system. Your loved one wears the small device and can use it to summon immediate help.
- Manage doctor and medical appointments. Try to schedule all medical appointments together, at a time when you'll be in the area. Make the time to get to know your loved one's doctors and arrange to be kept up-to-date on all medical issues via the phone when you're not in the area. Your relative may need to sign a privacy release to enable their doctors to do this.
- Investigate local services. When you're not there, try to find local services that can offer home help services, deliver meals, or provide local transportation for your loved one. A geriatric care manager can offer a variety of services to long-distance caregivers, including providing and monitoring in-home help for your relative.
- Schedule regular communication with your loved one. A daily email, text message, or quick phone call can let your relative know that they're not forgotten and give you peace of mind.
Next step…
Manage caregiver stress and avoid burnout. There's no getting around it. Caregiving is stressful. But you don't have to be overwhelmed by your responsibilities. Learning to manage stress is part of being a good caregiver. And it's not as impossible as you may think. Read Caregiver Stress and Burnout.

PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten), also referred to as MMAC (mutated in multiple advanced cancers) phosphatase, is a tumor suppressor implicated in a wide variety of human cancers (1). PTEN encodes a 403 amino acid polypeptide originally described as a dual-specificity protein phosphatase (2). The main substrates of PTEN are inositol phospholipids generated by the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) (3). PTEN is a major negative regulator of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway (1,4,5). PTEN possesses a carboxy-terminal, noncatalytic regulatory domain with three phosphorylation sites (Ser380, Thr382, and Thr383) that regulate PTEN stability and may affect its biological activity (6,7). PTEN regulates p53 protein levels and activity (8) and is involved in G protein-coupled signaling during chemotaxis (9,10).

If you see that your hotel address is 75008, you will know that you'll be staying in the 8th arrondissement! If your hotel address is 75011, you will be staying in the 11th arrondissement. A Paris Travel is a full service tour operator and is ready to help with your travel plans for France.
The pulse of Paris can be felt in the neighborhood, each with unique sights, smells, charm, character and landmarks! Montmartre's (18th arrondissment or 18ème) artists are the essence of that little village. In the 1st arrondissement (75001), you will find the Louvre. In the 6th arrondissement on the Left Bank, you will discover the Luxembourg Gardens. Walking the Marais (4th arrondissement or 4ème), for example, visitors can visit the Musée Picasso, shop in elegant boutiques, admire the tradition and history alive in the Jewish quarter of Rue des Rosiers, and visit the Place des Vosges, France's first royal square. Across the Seine River in the Latin Quarter (5ème), you'll discover narrow little streets, many students, international restaurants, and a village feeling. Each neighborhood offers up a feast of enjoyment to the traveler wishing to explore Paris.
Throughout Paris, you observe a bustling, urban existence. During the morning commute hours, be ready to move quickly through the metro stations to get your train. The people walk quickly and with purpose. At the markets, you can see old ladies pulling their carts as they make their fresh purchases! What a visual contrast to also see the hurried, but purposeful manner in which the fashionably dressed younger women walk in the highest of high heeled shoes (and never miss a beat!). They are out to be seen and the scene is vibrant and anything but still.
And so...life goes on as Paris' buildings, avenues, passages, and people are all intertwined. They are intricately adorned with jewels to be discovered. In the City of Light, the curious tourist has a superbly decorated city waiting to be admired! Click here to read about our Paris tours. We are here to help you discover this sparkling city!

By Fox 5 Atlanta
ATLANTA - A Birmingham, Alabama family traveled to Atlanta for their child's second liver transplant. The family also has a daughter who had her own transplant.
Eric and Jennifer Spadgenske said they're especially grateful after their 10-year-old son Sawyer got his second liver transplant.
"Everything has changed. He has energy again, he wants to eat again," said Jennifer Spadgenske.
Both Sawyer and his sister Lily were born with neonatal hemacromotosis. Both children got transplants when they were just days old.
"It's an illness of the liver that occurs while the baby is in the womb and causes damage to the liver," said Dr. Rene Romero, of the pediatric liver transplant program.
Sawyer started rejecting his liver and needed a second one.
"While you're waiting, you're praying for the miracle, trusting God through it. But to see the miracle unfold and see him getting better, it's amazing, just amazing," said Spadgenske.
That both of the Spadgenske children could be with their family and playing is a miracle to their parents.
"It's looking very good for him to go on and do extremely well and we're hoping this one will last him for the rest of his life," said Dr. Romero.
"I'm so thankful for the three donor families that saved our kids lives. Three families in their most grievous moments were able to say yes and save the lives of our family," said Spadgenske.

Article Comments - Ford Mustang Shelby GT vs. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
waterdr Posts: 307If you think a 5.4 motor with a super charger (vs a 4.6 w/o a blower), different tranny, suspension, seats, and some styling cues is "re-badging" then I would agree.
The GT-500 is WAY different then a stock GT.....even more so then the GT-500 was different then a stock Mustang all the way back in 1967.
As a Marketing Manager, the term "re-badge" is incorrect....."brand extension" would be more appropriate. -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I wasn't, but maybe some other folks were.
The car compared is in the title of the thread, though.
Any how, the GT500 is quite the machine. For sure that will have a collectible value down the road.
Shoot, with CAFE at 35mpg, performance machines like that might even become extinct. It'll probably be seen as more exotic than it is now. -
dstew1 Posts: 275Compared to Shelby GT buyers (heck, even tack on GT500 owners) I'd bet anything that a much higher percentage of STI owners actually participate in organized races at some level.
I'd bet that a higher percentage perform basic maintenance on their own cars when compared to Mustang GT/GT500 owners.
I'd bet a higher percentage even modify their cars to some extent, with a good number doing the work themselves.
Knock STI drivers all you want, say you feel sorry for them, that the car is ugly, you wouldn't be caught dead in one, etc, etc. I think you'd find that the typical STI buyer is more likely to be an enthusiast than the typical buyer of a Mustang GT (and its variants). Blame it on the Ford's greater mass market popularity and greater sales, thus watering down the ratios, but in the end most people drive an STI not because of the way it looks, or the way it makes them look, but because of how it performs.
I'm not sure what kind of person feels sorry or embarrassed for someone who cares more about the way something functions than the way it looks. Or what kind of person would make fun of someone who purchases a vehicle that can be driven year round, on any kind of road, in any kind of weather, while their own $30+ toy sits in the garage for four months out of the year, depreciating by the day.
There seems to be a lot of criticism here not only of the Subaru but of its owners, with testosterone being the only rationale provided - notice that does not say (or mean) rational.
I don't drive an STI. Never have. I drive a modified Forester XT putting out similar numbers to a stock STI, though. Is the hood-scooped cute-ute funny looking? Probably. Do some people see a 27 year old guy driving what looks like a goofy station wagon and scratch their heads? Or laugh? Probably. Do I care? No. Because those people just don't get it. The same could be said for a lot of people here.

waterdr Posts: 307Wow....hit a nerve. Geeze, don't be so touchy.
As an owner of a very mass-market stang, I can tell that owner demographics are all over the map. At a show you are just as likely to meet a guy with no teeth as you are a engineer from silicon valley.
Buy what you like....it is your money. A car is a dam car. If you feel I was harsh on the owners, I was only talking about the car. I also have pointed out a number of positive attributes about the Subbie as well, something that very few of the Mustang critics have done.
Nextime someone questions your car purchase, don't get so wrapped-up in it. And remember, I am entittled to my opinion as wrong as you make think it is. If EVERYONE liked the STI, it would be no different then the Mustang selling 200,000 units for 40+ years and don't believe for a minute that Subaru would not sell a ton of these if they could.
Hey, I know all about being made fun of....I also drive a Saab. Learn to love it....being different is cool too. -
mugwomp Posts: 21WaterD, did you just suggest there isn't much of an aftermarket for the WRX/STI?
What mods aren't available? As a WRX owner, I'd love to know. I've got about 20 links to my favorite Subaru shops, nevermind all the sites I never bookmarked. You also realize not only is there an aftermarket for the WRX but the Forester and Legacy too.
Googling "WRX aftermarket parts" gets about 133,000 hits. Googling "Mustang aftermarket parts" gets about 200,000? Wow, big difference. I can only imagine the amounts of fuzzy dice and non-functional hoodscoops I can get for a Stang. The mind boggles. Non-functional hoodscoops. LOL!
You realize the WRX has been one of the most important tuning vehicles ever made? In the new millennium, there are "before the WRX" cars and "after the WRX" cars. Before the 2002 WRX there were few if any offerings that could compare. Be thankful, even your clunky, retro, plasticy whatever you wanna-call-it is better for it.
Sounds like somebody's bitter their ugly fleet vehicle got whooped by a much better car.
And food for thought: you'd be "embarassed" to drive an STI/WRX - just how do you think most car enthusiast would feel being stuck behind the wheel of a Ford? -
waterdr Posts: 307Don't get your panties in a wad.....what I meant was that there the after-market for Mustangs is a lot bigger then for a WRX and as such, parts are much cheaper. Mustangs are less expensive to work on because of a simple therory known as supply and demand. Hell, I replaced my entire suspension with brand, new Ford FRPP parts for $400. Not because they are crap, but because there are soo many of them. I had 4.10's gears installed on my car....parts AND labor at a professional, all-Mustang shop was $500. Blowers? Hell, you can buy used ones in great shape all day long for $2000 if you look including inter-coolers. Tires? I use 315/35/17's on the rear on mine.....they run $104 each because so many Mustangs out there have them. My after-market, bullet 17x10.5 rims were about a $100. I can get all OEM brakes (pads and rotors) front and back for $175.00. Or, upgrade to all Cobra setup for $850.00 incluuding calipers.
Ford sells 200,000 to 250,000 Mustangs a year and had done so since 1965 pretty routinely. There are a lot of them out there still on the road.
My personal opinions about the WRX are what they are.....except it. So what? Who cares? The car is ugly to me....I respect the engineering....but I would not own one....if it were free. The car is way overpriced and Ford is beginning to make the same mistake and will go the way of the F-Body is they are not carefull. Fat and expensive are too things bad for a sports car. At least the WRX is just expensive.
As far as there being ugly crap out there for Mustangs, there is practically no market for that stuff. Self-respecting owners like myself like to torment those that go down that road. Lowered, lambo doors, fart cans etc... don't belong on a Mustang. -
waterdr Posts: 307Just so I am clear on a few things, I consider myself a car guy. I am not Ford person or do I owe loyalities to any manufacturer. I happen to own three cars and they are all of different makes. I buy what I like, what fits my needs, what I feel I can afford, and what makes sense to me. I think most owners probably do the same. I respect cars and I respect owners who love and are passionate about how they spend they hard-earned money, but I don't have to like it. Trends also change and quite frankly, as sustainability and "green" become more in style, this will also drive consumers to make different choices.
Mustangs are WAY more popular or plentiful then a WRX. Why? Because people buy more of them. Maybe it is because people like them more. Perhaps it is because they cost less. The fact is that market factors are at play and Subaru has most likely chosen to go with the "less is more" concept with the STI to make sure that they can't be owned by everyone.....there is some advatanges of owning something that not everyone else has. A big appeal with a Mustang, however, is that no matter if you live in a trailer park or or mansion row, you will see them parked in driveways.
If you go to a Mustang event, you will see hundreds....sometimes thousands of Mustangs on display. There are entire brick and motar businesses with thousands of acres of property that do nothing but work on them, restore them, and modify them. Many owners do the later because they want their cars to stand out in a sea of millions of cars that are essentially the same. All this results in a massive after-market driven by competition and hoards of expertise, though, not always sound.
At least the STI is unique right out of the box, just not to my liking. I can't get past it. While I don't street race under any conditions, stop light to stop light, there is nothing better to launch especially when just two wheels are involved....provided the roads are dry - lol. The STI, on the other hand, to be honest, I would not be foolish enough even with my 450 hp car to want to get in a race on the curves with one. The two cars are very different indeed, different personalities, and sometimes different types of people behind the wheel.
What is cool though, is having a community...one of people who can help other owners and defend your chosen set of wheels.
I will promise you this.......I will drive one as soon as I can and I will then give you my opinion. If I find the car to be a joy, I will most certainly say so. If I still feel it is overpriced 3,000 lbs of plastic, then I will say so too. -
weeman04 Posts: 1Why on earth would you compare and STI to a piece of junk Mustang? The Mustang is a heavy piece of junk V-8. Not even in the same class as an STI. Compare the STI to and EVO...9 or X. The Evo will pimp slap the STI in every aspect of the game! I wonder what the people at Edmunds was thinking when they did this comparison!!!

Andysmum | Report | 27 Jan 2013 15:42 |
As IGP says, lots of places in the north of England have Bank in their names. In many cases the name has survived as Bank Street, and is usually a hill, sometimes very steep, as anyone who has been to the Records Office in Matlock, Derbyshire, will know!! |
