Welcome! I am a knitting addict. Recovering from years of life threatening addictions was a long hard road, but somehow, knitting always gave me amazing comfort. Realizing that so simple a concept…wrapping yarn around a stick….could make me feel so good about myself, I surmised that this be used as a tool to help others struggling with addiction and need for comfort. Everyone should have the opportunity to know what it feels like to create something, one stitch at a time; to achieve a state of mindlessness which allows them to share...read more

Unpack Me
Feelings and memories from long ago have been analyzed, pushed aside and tucked away — gone like the swings on the playground at school, gone with my imaginary friends, moved far away with my little brother. Most of them, I thought, I left in the closet where I used to hide. Apparently, I've been carrying them around with me like luggage I don't want but can't seem to throw away. I must have inadvertently opened the suitcase because they are all here and not, I fear, for a short visit. It's finally...read more
Take Me Home
Take me home I stopped at a sleazy neighborhood liquor store to pick up a pint with nowhere in particular to go. Sickness and depression left me unclear as how to fix myself, so I drank and walked, searching for an elusive answer. Home was not a place that I wanted to be, especially after consuming most of the bottle, but children lived there…my children. In less than a whole hearted effort to get home I had to cross the street but, with no intersection in sight, crossed to the middle of four lanes. I...read more
Cherry Street
The small blue Victorian house sits close to its neighbors on a secluded street edged with fully grown trees in one of the oldest parts of town. Cracked and worn with time, the sidewalk surrounds a finely manicured lawn, which I notice — unlike mine— contains no weeds. Painted steps lead the way to a porch at the front door where I stand for a long time, heart racing with anticipation. Tap- tap- tap, I wrap lightly with nervous knuckles on the door before me, in case I'm lost, which happens much too often. The number above the...read more
The Gift
Sitting nervously on the edge of the bed, feeling small, I handed him my show and tell. "Wow, you made this for me?" the pallor of his skin more obvious. "It looks like a National Geographic bear — not a toy… a real bear—that's what I really like about this." I couldn't recall the last time I saw him smile. "Yes Dad, I made this for you," I lied. His genuine pleasure, something I had always hoped for, made it difficult to say anything else. I was happy that he wanted the bear. He sat up a little straighter in bed, his...read more
If I sit very still and think very hard, she might come. Her warm hands gently caress my hair; she wraps her arms around me from behind and I feel her breath in my ear as she whispers words I can't keep. "Follow me." she beckons. "What if I get lost?" I worry. "I'll be with you." In a place where puffy clouds live, where the thickness of the blue sky keeps me aloft over the tops of the trees below; she gives me wings and I push upward. There are no places to get lost here, only currents of fresh air that carry me high above the...read more
We Must Be Doing Something Right
Sitting in an airport during a three hour layover with knitting in hand, have you ever not been approached by a complete stranger who asked "What are you making?" or shared details of their project in progress? Not unlike the way a motorcycle rider or bus driver waves to one another, we recognize each other and connect, no matter where we are.

Keep Trying
My first attempt at rehab wasn't very successful. I really thought that I was ready, and most of my drinking friends (actually, those were my only kind of friends) told me that it would be a good idea if I drank a little less. "What harm could a little rehab be, maybe you could learn how to drink right?" they said. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I got my kids taken care of and I checked myself in. Are you kidding me, 30 days? "You can leave any time that you want, but we strongly recommend that you stay the 30 days" I was...read more

DENVER - Two people were forced out of their home and into temperatures in the mid-teens around 4 a.m. Monday when a fire broke out in their home located in the 400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue.
They were able to make it out of their home safely on their own.
The pair said they haven't been able to find their cat.
Because of heavy damage, firefighters say the residents will not be able to return home.
They will have to find shelter somewhere else.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Down by a touchdown with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the Dallas Cowboys lined up for what seemed like a routine punt. But Joe McKnight, who would seem more like a return-man than a guy coming up the gut on the rush, ensured the Cowboys punt attempt would be far from routine. McKnight came up big, thanks to his own athleticism and a Dallas gaffe that proved costly.
McKnight lined up right over the center, sprinting into the backfield moments after the snap. It wasn't as though he timed the snap perfectly and burst through a gap, he simply used his speed and athleticism to exploit a hole over the long snapper. And as he neared Matt McBriar, McKnight laid out with full extension, extending an arm at just the right moment to stuff the punt attempt.
Everything else fell into place for the Jets as the punt bounced backwards toward the end zone. Isaiah Trufant was in the right place at the right time, receiving a favorable bounce as the popped up into his waiting arms. A quick scamper to the end zone later and the Jets had suddenly come all the way back from a 14-point deficit to tie the game.
As Dallas coughed up the lead late, the Jets came up with big play after big play, and perhaps none were bigger than the blocked punt. A little bit of luck and a whole lot of execution by McKnight helped turn the game, sending the Jets to their first win of the season on the first Sunday Night Football of the year.

Chicken Bombs are when chicken and jalapeño poppers collide.
It's chicken stuffed with a jalapeño that has been stuffed with cheese and then it's all wrapped in bacon.
Awesome, right?!
You can fill the jalapeños with any cheese mixture you want. I used goat cheese and pepper jack cheese.
Cream cheese works well, too.
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and clean out the middle.
The seeds are the heat of the jalapeño, so leave them or take them out depending on your taste.
Please be very careful of the capsaicin (chile oil). It will burn your hands.
Mix the softened goat cheese and jack cheese:
And fill the jalapeño halves.
Wash and dry boneless, skinless chicken thighs and then season with salt and pepper.
You can also use butterflied chicken breasts.
Lay one of the stuffed jalapeños on the chicken thigh, roll it up, wrap it in bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
You know how much I hate touching raw chicken, but these are worth it.
Remember to soak your toothpicks in water first to keep them from burning on the grill.
I only had "party picks". They burned anyway (you'll see what I mean later).
Salt and pepper the outside of the chicken bombs and slather with your sauce of choice, or none at all.
I used Sticky Fingers Carolina Classic.
I cooked them for 45 minutes at about 350F on my Big Green Egg, direct with a raised grid.
You can also bake them uncovered in the oven if you don't have a grill.
This is how they looked after 30 minutes:
I flipped the chicken bombs and brushed the other side with sauce.
See what I mean about burned toothpicks? Oh well, now I know.
After 45 minutes, you're ready to eat!
They were smokey and spicy…
And a huge hit!
I can't wait to make Chicken Bombs again and mix up the flavors a little bit.
What will you stuff inside of your jalapeños?
Please check out Dishing With Leslie's recipe for Chicken Bombs. She used chicken breasts and bakes them in the oven. They look amazing!

ANDERSON — A man who helped supply a prominent Madison County meth-cooking ring was sentenced on Monday.
Michael Sheets, 51, of Anderson, received a 10-year sentence to the Department of Correction for his part in assisting a meth-cooking operation believed to be led by Timothy Woolum, 54, of Anderson. Six years of Sheets' sentence will be served in prison, Madison Circuit Court 6 Judge Dennis Carroll determined.
"There's a moral bankruptcy in making money off of other people's misery, and while that's not necessarily an aggravator, it speaks to your character," Carroll told Sheets at the hearing.
The charges stem from an incident on April 18, when police made a probationary visit to Woolum's home in the 2600 block of Morton Street. State Police meth team officers had been tipped off that Woolum and others were cooking meth in the home with children present.
Sheets, who answered the door when officers knocked, and two women, Tanisha Smith, 22, and Melinda Simms-Byers, 23, were all arrested and charged with helping to maintain the lab. Smith, whose 4-year-old was found in the home, was also charged with neglect of a dependent child.
Sgt. Nate Rainey of the ISP Pendleton Post Meth Team said the arrests were part of a three-month investigation, which has led to five different meth lab operations, 12 Anderson arrests and 42 charges. He said another meth lab was dismantled at the home on March 10. Woolum is apparently a deeply involved member of the meth ring, and Sheets, Smith and Simms-Byers were three of his associates.
Sheets identified Woolum as the main cook in the group at sentencing Monday, after weeks of refusing to talk.
"I didn't want to snitch on my friend, or who I thought was my friend," Sheets said at the hearing.
Woolum has a long history of dealing drugs, according to public records, and was on probation when he was arrested in April. His trial is set to begin July 8.

wasted efforts, projects that go nowhere
and ventures that miss the mark?
a phenomenon called mismanaged agreement.
(also known as "the Abilene Paradox")
Many years ago Professor Jerry B. Harvey discovered that the fundamental problem of contemporary organizations is the inability to cope with agreement--not conflict. He finds that most agreement in organizations is actually false consensus. It occurs because many people feel they might be isolated, censured or ridiculed if they voice objections. This often leads groups to act on inappropriate goals and is a setup for organizational failure.
CRM Learning's all-time best-selling training video, The Abilene Paradox, Second Edition, dramatizes mismanaged agreement in both business and personal settings. In it, Dr. Harvey brilliantly describes the psychological causes, then presents the cure. Groundbreaking material at the time of its introduction in 1984, trainers find that the video's single central theme--managing agreement within a group--remains an effective illustration of a problem that is more prevalent than ever today.

Where does the phrase "the Abilene Paradox" come from?
As you will see when you view this amazing video, it all began one sizzling afternoon in Texas with a family game of dominoes, a 1968 Buick and a cafeteria in Abilene. This is one story you DO NOT want to miss!
"Organizations frequently take action contrary to the desires of their
members, and thereby defeat the very purpose they set out to achieve."
--Dr. Jerry B. Harvey

Hospital death rates linked to 'lack of consultants'
A hospital in Kent has one of the highest death rates in the country because of a lack of specialist doctors.
That's the claim made today by the Royal College of Physicians, who say the Medway Maritime is one of 12 hospitals suffering from too little consultant care.
The hospital has only one senior consultant for every 8,000 patients.

With their second pick in the 2011 MLS Expansion Draft, the (fake) Montreal Impact select:
Mike Fucito (F, Seattle Sounders)
Kevin's explanation: Unlike the first pick, I can't really pick on the Sounders for leaving Fucito unprotected. The Seattle Sounders simply had too many solid players on their roster, many of them on small salaries that made them attractive picks. If this was last year's draft, they likely would have lost two players. Lamar Neagle and Servando Carrasco would also be decent options for an expansion team.
Fucito is getting picked for reasons similar to Cardozo. He's young, he's more talented than his stats suggest, and he's extremely cheap. These factors make him an extremely low-risk pick. While Fucito is a bit undersized and needs to improve his decision-making and composure on the ball, he's an intelligent player with blinding speed and a nose for goal.
Analysis from Drew Epperley: Seattle was bound to lose someone important. Fucito is a quality pick, as he is someone who has the ability to be a game-changer when needed. He's young, talented and super cheap.

At Villa Campestri, we have been very fortunate to have our villa serve as the setting for a number of Tuscan weddings. For those seeking a quiet refuge in a beautiful hamlet in the Mugello valley to share the most important day of their lives, our park is idyllic for a scenic, romantic setting.
Photo: Pieve di San Pietro (San Piero a Sieve) by sailko, wikimedia commons
We love sharing tips and fun facts about the area of Tuscany we live in, the Mugello Valley. This area is very dynamic, full of tiny ancient towns, stunning landscapes and wonderful food, its Medician history reflected in several villas around the valley. Only 20 minutes, or 14.5 kilometers from Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort lies an ancient town, alone the route connecting Imola and Bologna to Florence, with a famous church from the 11th century.
This August in the Mugello valley you can expect sunny weather (at least we hope so), many dips in a Tuscan pool like ours (pictured above) and fun events for the whole family. We are passionate about sharing the best local events with our guests and anyone who wants to learn more about this area of Italy. From cutlery exhibits, guided tours and dancing under the stars, we look forward to wonderful romantic nights during one of our favorite months of the year.

Govt: Swine flu jab use 'based on available evidence'
The Department of Health said the decision to use a swine flu vaccine that has been found to increase the risk of developing narcolepsy was based on advice from the European Medicines Agency:
– Department of Health spokesperson
Pandemrix was developed specifically for use in a flu pandemic when the number of lives lost and serious cases could have been enormous.
The decision to recommend that children got this vaccine during the flu pandemic was based on evidence available at the time, along with the advice from the European Medicines Agency which approved its use.
We keep all emerging evidence under review and that's why use of Pandemrix in those less than 20 years old was stopped in the UK in 2011.

from Eyewitness News Online
Lottery Scam
Cha Roberts says he mother is one of those victims. Cha and her sister Marcia are frustrated and feel helpless. Their 88 year old mother, Elizabeth, has already lost thousands of dollars in foreign lottery schemes. The worst part – she won't stop.
Marcia says, "She is convinced she is going to get a car … and $30 million… and she will always ask "what kind of car do you want?""
Cha adds, "In a weeks' time, on Saturday I'm getting $25 million, on Monday i'm getting $12 million from a different source and i say "I hope you do mom""
These sisters have tried everything. In fact, they wrote the Postmaster General asking for help. Their plea prompted a postal inspector and local police officer to come to their mother's home to explain the scams.
Despite the best efforts by authorities, Elizabeth still believes her big pay day is imminent.
Elizabeth's sisters initially asked if all of the foreign lottery mail could simply stop being delivered to their mother's home. But, the federal government is not allowed to interfere with the delivery of us mail unless authorities believe it could be harmful.

The Grand Prairie Police Department announced a plan Friday to bolster security by having an officer patrol each of the city's 47 school campuses beginning in January.
While Grand Prairie middle and high schools already have school resource officers patrolling them, department spokesman Lyle Gensler says they'll now have a presence at elementary schools as well.
The decision comes a week after a gunman killed 26 at a Connecticut elementary school, 20 of whom were children.
Gensler said the plan is "an effort to better protect our youngest, most defenseless children in our elementary schools."
According to a release, police higher ups will meet with administrators for each school district in Grand Prairie to "review security plans and make any needed additional recommendations." Patrol officers will meet with officials at each school to better their professional relationship.
These patrol officers will conduct daily walkthroughs of each campus to become familiar with their layouts in order to "effectively respond in an emergency." Officers will also familiarize themselves with each school's schedule and the areas surrounding the campuses.
Gensler also said the resource officers currently posted at middle and high schools will patrol their feeder elementary schools "at least once each school day."
Says his release, "The Grand Prairie Police Department believes these added security measures will better protect our younger school children and provide the highest level of police protection possible."
City Manager Tom Hart said the security plan is in line with the police department's committment to boost community policing by improving relationships with the public.
"Having that officer get out once or twice each day, that ties into neighborhood policing," Hart said. "Our police department works hand-in-hand with our school district, it's a great relationship."
The city and the police department have a joint partnership to pay for the resource officers. Hart said he didn't anticipate any added costs as a result of the expanded security plan.
"I think it's an outstanding program they're doing," Hart said, "but it's not a huge program."

On Dec 21St 2013, The MS Highway Patrol responded to a report of an accident on U.S. Hwy 49 just South of Pocahontas.
We are told that the incident appeared to be a Hit & Run involving a pedestrian. The victim, Maury Michelle Flint, was discovered lying in the median near the Cock of The Walk Restaurant.
At the time of the accident the vehicle involved did not stay on scene and there were no apparent witnesses.
"Just for whoever did this to leave her there on the side of the highway like an animal, no one deserves that," said Flint's husband Bobby.
Bobby Flint says she leaves behind three children.
"The person who did this they know who they are. I just pray you have a conscience and if it was an accident, come forward. It doesn't matter, it was someone's wife, someone's child," said Bobby Flint.
Flint was last known to have been at a home nearby in Pocahontas shortly before midnight on Friday Dec 20th. Officials believe the accident occurred sometime in the early morning hours of Saturday Dec 21st, before being discovered and reported at approximately 7am on the morning of Saturday Dec 21st.
The family of the victim, as well as the MS Highway Patrol, and CMCS is asking for the public's help in an attempt to identify the vehicle and driver involved in this incident.
Officials ask that anyone with information that might help with this case contact Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477) or 1-866-481-8477. A reward of up to $2500.00 could be paid for information leading to an arrest.

email@example.com Brady threw two touchdown passes to Kenbrell Thompkins, finally getting in sync with his rookie receivers and leading the New England Patriots to a 23-3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Thompkins, an undrafted free agent, scored on plays of 16 and 5 yards, while Aaron Dobson, a second-round draft pick, finished with seven catches for 52 yards for the Patriots (3-0).
The Patriots led 17-3 at halftime as the Buccaneers (0-3) wasted several opportunities. They turned the ball over twice on downs, Rian Lindell missed a 38-yard field goal attempt before making a 30-yarder and Josh Freeman threw an interception to former Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib with 11 seconds left in the first half.
Three plays later, Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 53-yard field goal on the final play of the half.

PVC Packaging Found to Contain Toxic Metals
09.30.09 PVC Packaging Found to Contain Toxic Metals
Yikes! I received this press release from the Center for Health and Environment and learned that PVC packaging is likely to contain lead and other heavy metals harmful to our children's health.
I've known for a long time that PVC (aka the poison plastic) is toxic, but carrying lead and chromium that comes in direct contact with our food, toys and personal products? I shouldn't be surprised, with our country's lack of toxic chemical regulation and putting the interest of corporations ahead of children's health. PVC is also known as vinyl, and is toxic in its production and use. According to CHEJ: "PVC (polyvinyl chloride) products are everywhere and are dangerous to our health and environment from start to finish - in the factory, at home, and in the trash - releasing poisonous chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects.
According to the release, "The report, An Assessment of Heavy Metals in Packaging: 2009 Update tested over 400 packaging samples with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Fifty‐two percent of flexible PVC packaging was found to contain lead or cadmium, violating laws in 19 states across the country. "The widespread adoption of sustainable packaging practices is an important step in the greening of America. But this new report reminds us of how much of the packaging we bring into our homes is toxic to our health," said Mike Schade, PVC Campaign Coordinator at the Center for Health, Environment & Justice. "With the holidays approaching, families across America will see an influx of PVC clamshell packaging that will put toxic lead and cadmium under the Christmas tree."
With the consistent urging of the CHEJ and other groups, major retailers like Target, Walmart and Sears have developed PVC phase out plans. It's time other retailers joined in to recall the tainted packaging, and pledge to get toxic PVC out of products for children and families.
What can you do?
*avoid packaging labeled with the number "3" or letter "v" inside or underneath the universal recycling symbol. "Just remember - bad news comes in 3's, don't buy PVC!"
*encourage retailers to develop a plan to phase out PVC
*support the Kid Safe Chemical Act and reforming the outdated model of chemical regulation in America

Martin O'Neill's reign as Sunderland manager got off to a flying start as the Black Cats came from behind to beat Blackburn Rovers at the Stadium of Light. On the face of things, that's not particularly impressive - the list of teams that can beat Blackburn this year includes half of MLS - but considering Sunderland have been merrily failing to beat teams that they should all season long, getting three points is a very welcome outcome.
It didn't look like a win was on the cards when Simon Vukcevic nodded the visitors into the lead in the 17th minute after Kieren Westwood failed to hold Chris Samba's driven attempt, and despite Sunderland having all of the possession they were completely unable to trouble Paul Robinson until very late on. The hosts were booed off at halftime and for good reason - they were unimaginative and sloppy in the attack in a match they were ostensibly dominating.
Relief came in the form of David Vaughan, hammering in from long range with barely five minutes gone, a beautiful strike that left Robinson absolutely helpless. And then, with injury time slipping away, Sebastian Larsson curled a gorgeous free kick over the wall and in off Robinson's right hand post to give Sunderland a vital win and send Martin O'Neill into raptures on the touchline.

How to Modify Diecast Model Cars?
Diecast model cars typically can be purchased in kits at any hobby store, but you can modify these cars to give them a unique look. From different paint styles to added trim, diecast model cars can be modified or upgraded to look sleeker or more unique to the hobbyist building them. Once these cars are modified to spec, they can be placed for display on a shelf or in a dust proof cabinet.
- Body Modifications
- Dab the paintbrush into the paint and give the die-cast model a new look. Create a two-toned paint job, where half of the car is painted one color and the other half is a different color. Provide visual interest by painting the frame one color and the doors another color.
- Paint designs on the model to customize a different way. Use the brush to create simple, personalized, or even wacky designs on the car's body.
- Paint the trim a different color. For example, the model's body might be black, so paint the bumper, mirrors, and fenders white.
- Wipe off the paint using the wet rag if a mistake is made. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours.
- Create an older look to a die-cast car by adding rust to the body or trim. Dab a small amount of paint-on rust onto the brush. Apply the paint-on rust to the the lower body panels or trim to create a "beat up" look.
- Add chrome trim to the die-cast model, available at hobby shops. Apply a small amount of hobby glue to the trim and attach it to the vehicle. Consider chrome trim pieces such as mirrors, fenders, bumpers, or grills.
- Wheel Modifications
- Create more realistic-looking tires. Carefully remove each wheel from the model, and take off the tires from each wheel.
- Insert one washer into the bolt followed by the tire. Insert the second washer into the bolt, creating a clamp for the wheel.
- Tighten the clamp by screwing the nut into the bolt until the wheel is held firmly in place. The tire should extrude outward slightly.
- Place the bolt onto the power drill. Turn the drill on a low speed and gently grind the tire on the nail file. The nail file will take off the smooth rubber from the wheel, creating a worn tread look.
- Unplug the power drill and remove the bolt. Take off the tires and place them back onto each wheel.
How to Collect Diecast Model Cars?
Collecting die-cast model cars became very popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s as their detail and quality increased. As more companies entered the field over the years, including Hot Wheels and Matchbox, the worth of certain models have gone up. The value of the cars today is dependent on condition. Having the original package of a car makes it more valuable, but if the model is properly preserved and cared for, the worth of a collection will still be high.
- If you have the model's original package, be wary of dirt, lint, moisture and sunlight. They should be placed in display cases or storage boxes, otherwise dusted regularly with a dry cloth.
- Old cars saved from childhood can still be valuable, even if not in pristine condition. You can perform minor touch-ups and store them in display cases.
- Get information about the rarity of certain models you might have. Check specialty catalogues, collector's magazines and websites about rare cars, values and replacement parts.

Stealing Time
Stealing Time follows two separately married individuals whose lives collide at just the right time. From the author of Greenwood (NYMF 2011), this developmental song cycle traces the search for individual truth and the overwhelming struggle to take risks on that path. Once this truth is uncovered, a journey of self-love, compassion, and honest communication sparks difficult choices two hearts can no longer deny; accepting the light of absolute love or retreating into the safety of complacency.
Which would you choose?

|First appearance

|"Principal Charming"
Groundskeeper Willie is a recurring character on The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. He is head groundskeeper at Springfield Elementary School. Willie is almost feral in nature and is immensely proud of his native Scotland. He is easily identifiable by his flaming red hair and beard, as well as his aggressive temperament and strong Scottish accent.
Role in The Simpsons[edit]
Groundskeeper Willie is the groundskeeper at Springfield Elementary School and lives in squalor in a shack on the school grounds. He is a Scotsman with an aggressive temper. He likes to take nude pictures of himself in his spare time. He is an uncouth and unpleasant, though essentially harmless, character. His personality is depicted as being incompetent, quick to anger for little or no reason, slow-witted, and a heavy drinker. Willie has shown antipathy to both his employer, Principal Skinner, and Bart Simpson, who plays pranks on him.
Due to the weak continuity of the series, he has claimed to be from various parts of Scotland during the series, most recently Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands in the 2012 episode 'The Daughter Also Rises'. He had previously been stated to be a fan of Aberdeen Football Club, and to have been resident in Glasgow. In early episodes Willie's father was said to be deceased. However, his parents were later introduced in "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", and lived near Loch Ness.
Willie plays a supporting role in most of his episodes, but featured heavily in the episode "My Fair Laddy" in which Lisa Simpson introduced him to high culture as a science project.
On two occasions, Willie frames Bart for pulling pranks that Bart would normally pull. In "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star", he unleashes a giant pie of rats on the Springfield Elementary medieval festival to get revenge for being cast as the village idiot and his cruel treatment. Skinner is quick to blame Bart and expels him. Willie is never shown being found out as the culprit, but it can be assumed that he eventually is and punished after Bart is enrolled in Catholic school and earns his way back into Springfield Elementary. In "Dark Knight Court", Willie causes hundreds of eggs to be splattered at the Springfield Easter celebration out of inbred hatred for the holiday. Bart is put on trial for the incident, only to be acquitted when Willie is caught and turned in by Lisa and Mr. Burns (as Fruit Batman).
Groundskeeper Willie's first appearance was in the season two episode "Principal Charming". Originally, the character was written just as an angry janitor; his Scottish accent was added during a recording session. Dan Castellaneta was assigned to do the voice. Castellaneta did not know what voice to use and Sam Simon, who was directing at the time, told Castellaneta to use an accent. He first tried a Spaniard voice, which Simon felt was too clichéd. He then tried a "big dumb Swede," which was also rejected. For his third attempt, he used the voice of an angry Scotsman, which was considered to be appropriate and was used in the episode.[1] Originally thought by the directors to be a one-shot appearance, Willie has since become a common recurring character.[2] Matt Groening later revealed that the character was based partially on Angus Crock, a kilt-wearing chef from the sketch comedy show Second City Television, who was portrayed by Dave Thomas[3] and Jimmy Finlayson, the mustachioed Scottish actor who appeared in 33 Laurel and Hardy films.[4]
A recurring joke, which was first shown in "Radio Bart," is that Groundskeeper Willie appears to have a pot belly, but whenever he takes off his shirt, he is quite muscular.[5] One of Groundskeeper Willie's trademarks is a gruffly-spoken insulting retort, which take the writers a long time to come up with, although they do not consider them that funny.[6]
It is revealed, in Episode 21 of Season 15, Bart-Mangled Banner, that Groundskeeper Willie is deaf and has learned to lip-read. In the episode MyPods and Boomsticks, Willie admits to being illiterate.
Willie has also been called "Louie" (as captioning and subtitles shows) in the episode "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" after Bart sticks his bare buttocks on the outside of the window of Principal Skinner's office, causing a distraction causing Skinner to run out of his office exclaiming for "Louie" to get Windex while the kids grabs Skinner's microphone from the P.A. system.
Cultural impact[edit]
Groundskeeper Willie's description of the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys"[7] from the episode "'Round Springfield" has become widely used, particularly in the run-up to the war in Iraq.[8] The newspaper New York Post used the phrase "Surrender Monkeys" as the headline for its December 7, 2006 front page, referring to the Iraq Study Group and its recommendation that U.S. soldiers be withdrawn from Iraq by early 2008.[9] The line was "most likely" written by Ken Keeler.[10] The phrase "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" has also been used by Jeremy Clarkson and Anthony Bourdain.
In 2009, Willie was added to the "Famous Glaswegians" webpage of Glasgow City Council, based on his line in "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious". A spokesman for Aberdeen F.C. disputed Glasgow's claim to the character, citing the episodes "Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky" and "The Dad Who Knew Too Little".[11][12] In Season 23 Episode 13 'The Daughter Also Rises', it was finally stated that Groundskeeper Willie is from Kirkwall in Orkney, therefore ending this dispute, although he does not speak in the distinctive Orcadian dialect.
In 2006, Groundskeeper Willie was named the fourth best peripheral character in the history of the show by IGN,[13] who said "high-points for the character were being trained to be civilized, wrestling a wolf that was let loose in the school and becoming a substitute for the French language teacher - 'Bon jourrr! You cheese-eating surrender monkeys!'" IGN also named "My Fair Laddy", the only episode which centers around Willie, the best episode of the seventeenth season.[14] Jim Slotek of Sun Media called Willie the ninth best Simpsons supporting character, and also made a Top Ten quotes list, which included Willie's quote "Och, back to the loch wi' ye, Nessie," from "Selma's Choice".[15] The Times reported in late 2005 that "he is the most instantly recognisable Scot in the world: better known than Billy Connolly or Ewan McGregor, even Sean Connery." The same article quotes Simpsons creator Matt Groening as saying "We wanted to create a school janitor that was filled with rage, sort of our tribute to angry janitors all over the world".[16]
Three Willie action figures were created by Playmates Toys for the World of Springfield series: Willie depicted in his usual appearance, released in 2001 in wave 4;[17] "Ripped Willie", released in 2002 as part of wave 8;[18] and "Kilted Willie", released in 2003 in wave 14.[19]

The eighth-ranked Stanford Cardinal look to rebound from last week's 53-30 loss to the Oregon Ducks when they and the California Golden Bears vie for The Stanford Axe at Stanford Stadium on Saturday night. This will be the 114th meeting between the two Bay Area schools, with the Cardinal holding a 56-46-11 edge in a series that Cal has dominated of late. The Golden Bears have won seven of the last nine meetings, though Stanford trounced Cal 48-14 in Berkeley in 2010.
With their 17-game winning streak snapped by the Ducks, quarterback Andrew Luck will be looking to get Stanford back on track against Cal, who have rebounded from an 0-3 start in Pac-12 play to win three of their last four, outscoring Washington State and Oregon State 53-13 over the last two weeks to become bowl eligible for the eighth time in the last eight seasons.
Luck continues on the Heisman Trophy path, completing 221-of-313 pass attempts for 2,695 yards with 29 touchdowns, leading the Pac-12 in passing efficiency. Luck is three touchdowns away from tying John Elway's school-record of 77 for a career.
Cal has found it's running game during their winning streak, with junior running back Isi Sofele becoming the team's eighth 1,000-yard rusher in the last nine seasons. Sofele has 1,029 yards and a team-high eight touchdowns on the ground. Quarterback Zach Maynard has completed just 54.6 percent of his pass attempts, but has 2,285 yards and 14 touchdowns, mostly to Keenan Allen, who has a team-high 78 receptions for 1,103 yards and five scores.
Game date, time: 10:21pm ET, Saturday, November 19, 2011
Location: Stanford Stadium, Stanford, California
TV channel: ESPN
Spread: The Cardinal is favored by 17 points
Series history: The Cardinal lead the all-time series 56-46-11

What can this website do for me?
When it comes to investing, there's a world of difference
between good advice and advice that sounds good. The
vast majority of personal finance commentary, both online
and in the "dead-tree" world, certainly sounds
good enough -- "put all your retirement money in
stocks," or "aggressive growth funds are the
place to be," or "small stocks return more
than large stocks." But there's something odd about
this kind of advice: It's always asserted as if it's
true, and yet its truth is never proven. Unfortunately,
you can't afford to take investing advice on faith.
To prosper in the long run, you've got to be able to
separate the good advice from the advice that just sounds
good. My goal here is to help you do that.
I've designed this website to be a safe haven where
you can learn what you need in order to think for
yourself as an investor. I've also worked hard at
keeping everything at www.jasonzweig.com
crystal-clear. Not only is there something here for
everyone from the beginner to advanced investors, but
you should be able to find your way around and be able
to tell at a glance what's suitable for your level.
And the Resources section is different
from the indigestible directories of links you'll find
at most other websites: I've personally checked out
every single link you'll find here, in order to make
sure the information and advice are reliable and worthwhile.
If I haven't inspected a site myself -- or if I think
legitimate investors can't visit it safely -- then "you
can't get there from here." (My definition of a
"safe" website has three parts: 1, it consistently
delivers responsible advice that's appropriate for long-term
investors; 2, it does not bombard you with pop-up ads
or try to sell you something with every mouse-click
you make; 3, it does not capture your e-mail address
or other personal information and use it for commercial
Why should I listen to you?
Good question. I've been writing about business since
1986 and covering investing and personal finance full-time
since 1992, first as the mutual funds editor at Forbes
magazine, then as a commentator for Money
magazine and a guest columnist for Time, and now as the investing and personal-finance columnist for The Wall Street Journal. In 2003,
I edited the revised edition of Benjamin Graham's classic
text, The Intelligent Investor, which Warren
Buffett has called "by far the best book about
investing ever written." (You can read
my bio here.)
Unlike a lot of journalists, I don't think I'm smarter
than everybody else. Instead, I'm only smart enough
to know how much I don't know -- and to keep asking
questions of the smartest people I can find until I
get answers I do understand. (I figure if I can finally
make sense out of the answers, then so can you.) I never
take anything on faith -- because I know that if something
I write is wrong, it will cost real people like you
real money. My goal, in everything you'll see here,
is to give you the highest possible odds of reaching
your long-term financial goals, with the lowest possible
chance of risk and regret.
I've learned that the financial world is populated
primarily by two groups of people: those who don't know
what the heck they're doing (and insist on giving
advice anyway) and those who think you don't know what
the heck you're doing (and can't wait to get
their mitts on your money). Your most powerful defensive
weapon against both kinds of people is your own skepticism.
I'll show you how I keep my skepticism sharp, and I
hope you'll learn how to hone yours as well.
Who doesn't belong here?
If you're interested in "getting rich quick,"
please leave this site immediately. I hate to sound
inhospitable, but there's utterly nothing here for people
like you, and there never will be. I have no advice
whatsoever that would be helpful to you, and I can't
recommend anyone else who would either.
The problem with getting rich quick is you have to
do it so often. That's because right after you get rich
quick, whatever gimmick got you there will stop working,
and you'll get poor quick, and you'll have to start
all over again. You'll spend years of sheer investment
heartbreak always grabbing for more, always missing
it or holding onto it for only a split second, forever
coming away empty-handed.
On the other hand, I think I might be able to help
you get rich slowly. And I'll try to help you stay
rich in an investment world that's bursting with shysters
and hypesters who can't wait to drain your wallet dry.
After all, wealth isn't just about getting rich; it's
about staying rich once you get there. As Europe's greatest
merchant banker, Nathan Mayer Rothschild, said in 1834:
"It requires a great deal of boldness, and a great
deal of caution, to make a great fortune; and when you
have got it, it requires ten times as much wit to keep
it." At this website, my unwavering desire is to
deliver the right amounts of boldness, caution and wit
to help you build a fortune over the years to come.
But if you want to make a fortune now -- right away
-- overnight -- today -- this very minute -- by year-end
-- then you're just going to have to look elsewhere.
And by the way, you're never going to find it or keep
it. So when you're finally ready to give up the futile
search for the next great get-rich-quick scheme, come
on back. We'll leave the light on for you.
What's the catch?
Most so-called "investment" websites are
always selling something: books, videotapes, newsletters,
e-mail hotlines, money-management "services,"
memberships, hats and T-shirts and coffee mugs, seminars
or "webinars," even the articles you could
easily download elsewhere for free -- not to mention
the incessant flashing of pop-up ads from their "sponsors"
who will pounce on you if you click your mouse in the
wrong place.
Phew! So far as I'm concerned, all that junk belongs
in a flea market or a tag sale, not on a website that
aims to bring you good investing advice.
Isn't it strange? Here you are, wondering how to improve
your financial future -- and the folks who run these
websites are telling you that the best thing you can
do with your money is to put a fat chunk of it straight
into their pockets! Whose financial future do you suppose
these guys really care about: yours, or their own?
That's why www.jasonzweig.com
is different:
In short, this aims to be a conflict-of-interest-free
zone. I hope you'll never need to worry that anything
I tell you has been bought or biased by anybody who
greased my palms or lined my pockets. And yes, I write
every word you'll read here -- not my "researcher"
(I don't have one) and not my "editorial assistant"
(I don't have one of them either).
These are the steps I've taken to try to ensure that
www.jasonzweig.com will be honest, impartial, and useful.
Since my day job already provides me with an adequate
living, my goal isn't to use this website to make myself
rich; my hope, instead, is that you might be able to
use it to help get rich yourself.
What's the catch? There isn't any. Down the road, if
visitors like you really like what you see here, maybe
I'll be able to figure out some way to make this website
pay its own keep. But you have my solemn word that www.jasonzweig.com
will never take any compensation of any kind from any
company in the financial-services industry.
So you be the judge. Browse around. See what you think.
Let me hear from you about what you like, what you
don't, what you'd like to see more of. And thanks for
stopping by.

Really works great, especially with thinner pattern papers or cardstock. Once you start cutting thicker cardstock (I cut 80-120#) it saves on blades to use a guillotine (my humble opinion). Otherwise, this Fiskars paper trimmer is fabulous. I always keep a few extra new blades on hand as eventually, they will get dull. I love this as it is very lightweight (I have weak wrists & I can easily lift this), cuts perfectly straight lines, has an extension for larger papers, is super easy to see the measurements, has a locking device for security, and you can see exactly where the paper is going to be cut. I'm going to order the scoring device now :)
I have had the same trouble with the wire on my cutter. I just finished a conversation with a very nice gentleman who is sending me the replacement wire. Then he tells me that I can just cut the old one out! Yep, he's right - it has no functional purpose and is only there as a visual aid. I removed mine and it works just fine. I will be glad to have my replacement wire because it does help to be able to view exactly where the paper will be cut but I can deal with this for just a few days. So far this has been my favorite cutter by far. One thing that might make a difference if you are seeing ragged edges on your cut and your blade is not bad, is to consider the direction in which you are cutting. Remember that paper does have a grain that may impact the best direction in which to cut it.
It worked very well until the wire guide developed a burr causing rough, torn cuts despite new blades. It would help if wires were available to purchase. I hate throwing this in the trash--bad for the environment.
Nancy 03/11/2013
I have never given a cutter 5 stars but in 18 years of scrapping, this is the first cutter of any brand that I can say has been consistent in giving me a straight cute every time. The guide wire has been the key is determining if my cut is straight. I have not had a problem with the blades and just change them as soon as I notice an inconsistency. I love this cutter.
I have had several paper trimmers over the years, including Fiskars. This is the absolute worse. The wire in the center sometimes gets caught up in the blade and the blade falls out on a regular basis. My local Michael's Crafts, where this was purchased does not carry the replacement blades for this trimmer.The paper doesn't cut clean consistently , and some of the time it doesn't cut well in two directions leaving ragged edges. It will cut in one direction better, but that isn't always reliable for making for clean projects, and then having to take an craft knife to clean it up, or even to start over. Sorry. :(
Very disappointed with this product! I upgraded from the purple Fiskars Paper Trimmer. The blade always wants to fall off & the measurement is off by 1/8" so when I make cards my papers are always crooked, I take pride in my work & I don't like to give a card that is all crooked. I guess that I need to go back to my old faithful.
Very disappointed...I upgraded from the old Fiskars gray trimmer. Wanted something portable(have the large rotary cutter). However, it does not cut straight. It is off by 1/8"; I thought it was me but I just watched a Youtube video and the woman had the same problem...as well as several of the commentors. It very frustrating when you fold the paper and it is off. I would not recommend this trimmer.
