Let's forget all this green stuff for a minute and talk about something fun. Lucky Magazine. I love it. Love, love, love it. Why? Because it's easier to digest than cream of wheat. And it fulfills its promise as pure, unadulterated shopping voyeurism. It is the bible of girl consumer culture in all its superficial glory. It is so not green.
But I saw this really cool sweater.
Charlotte Ronson Wrap Cardigan
I'll be recyling the magazine in the morning.
We've had the button conversation. Initially I had thought to do some kind of girly edging on Audrey's mitt, such as a ruffle or picot bind-off. But the Violet's Pink Ribbon sock yarn seemed to cry out for vintage green buttons. Anyway, I hope they're not too funkadelic for a 14–year-old.
Pattern: Adapted from The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns: Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes & Gauges
Needles: US Size 1
Yarn: Lisa Souza's Sock! in Violet's Pink Ribbon
I suppose there's stuff I could show--one mitt for Audrey and a design I've thought about submitting, which requires the total brain damage of writing it up and fixing all the uh-ohs from the beta version, an expensive proposition. If I decide not to submit it, trust me, you'll see it in all its imperfect glory.
Anyone watch "Men in Trees"? We're quite smitten. But I've got to say--the characters are supposed to be plunged in the middle of an Alaskan winter and yet the sun's always shining and Anne Heche bounces around wearing these low-cut cashmere sweaters. I can tell you right now, my decollete isn't seeing the light of day until May, at the earliest. Brrrrrr.
P.S. Good news for those of us freezing our decolletes off: Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring.
The new web preview for Knit.1 is up. See?
As always, I'm proud to be associated with this clever mag. My piece is called, "Just Do Knit," and profiles a series of athlete-knitters who are just as likely to shred as stitch. An impressive lot. Me? I burn calories typing and cat wrangling.
In keeping with this week's theme, here's a list of some organic yarn manufacturers and suppliers. I'm not sure what makes them organic exactly, but suspect it has something to do with antibiotic-hormone-free sheep dining on organic green pastures. (Is that what sheep eat? Pastures?)
All I know is that if you were to put me on a grocery shelf, I'd be wearing the "conventional" label. Antibiotic and hormone free? Hah!
Tierra Wools—New Mexico born and bred.
Blue Sky Alpacas Organic Cotton—I'm assuming it's from South America?
EcoKnit—Organic cotton from Peru.
Vickie Howell— Click on the Vickie Howell collection for yarns like Craft—65 percent organic cotton/35 percent milk fiber.
Treliske Organic Woollens—From New Zealand.
Vermont Organic or Main Organic—Born in the USA at Green Mountain Spinnery.
O-Wool—Comes in a useful Aran weight in 13 colors.
Hope Spinnery—Yarn spun using wind power.
Let's talk some more about this living-lightly-on-the-planet thing.
A number of years ago, the Wall Street Journal ran an article about a gentleman who wanted to buy footwear that caused as little harm as possible. Obviously leather was out. I don't remember the exact issue with tennis shoes. Too toxic maybe? Oppressive labor practices? There were problems with rubber and plastics, too. Anyway, every type of shoe he investigated had a questionable provenance. Finally, he settled on a pair of those Chinese canvas shoes. These he considered a compromise.
Wool, as we all know, comes loaded with political baggage. Austrailian and New Zealand ranchers practice mulesing, a horrific practice that mutilates the sheep while ostensibly saving its life. It can't be great to be a silkworm, either. I guess if you had to pick you'd want to be one of Jen's goats. Or my friend Meredith's alpacas—great views and a pack of floppy dogs to keep the coyotes at bay.
If you surf enough in the knit-sphere, you'll find this cool group of vegan knitters. I occasionally take a spin through their web ring. For the most part, they're young and hip and cool, and while I might be cooking chicken for dinner I visit hoping some of their youth, coolness and hipness might rub off.
Then there are the problems with dyes. Natural dyers use cochineal (Dude, bugs!) to get those great crimsons. And the acid dyes make me worry about the health of our fabulous handpainters.
Clearly, I have no answers. And like you, I'm not about to stop knitting. What I'm saying is that "voting" with our dollars is fraught with complexity. Does "Fair Trade" make something "green"? Does "organic" guarantee that workers are treated fairly? It's all a bit like American Apparel, which manufactures goods in the U.S. and pays a decent wage. They even sell organic goods. The dark side? The CEO is an alleged poster child for sexual harrassment.
Got a good compromise out there?
I tend to think of myself as a bit of a fashionista--albeit without the budget. So when this came across the transom last week, it put my Costco knickers in a twist. The New York Times reported that fast fashion, trendy items from the Targets and H&Ms of the world, contribute to global warming because of how the garments are manufactured and then cared for--that is repeatedly washed, dried and then discarded.
Living on Earth recently did a fine piece on the environmental devastation wreaked by the denim industry; how the chemicals and processes used in "distressing" jeans are polluting nearby waterways. The water is blue, but not in a good way.
Obviously, all these amazing yarns we love aren't so green either. What's a girl to do?
Some late breaking thoughts in the comments:
1. Move to a farm. I suspect many of us, however, might still want to wear cute cropped trousers while tending our crops.
2. Recycle yarn. There's an intrepid knitter at The Lamb, who is forever scouring thrift stores in search of cashmere and wool sweaters she can rip, restyle and knit.
3. Hang clothes to dry. Even in the midst of this ferocious winter, Mitch has been hanging laundry in the basement, Lord love him. Your jeans turn out a bit crunchy, but the added moisture in the house is certainly welcome. Another benefit: Our natural gas bills have plummeted.
4. Donate. Give older clothes to charities such as Goodwill Industries, ARC or women's shelters.
5. Knit or crochet old tee-shirts into rugs. Invest in a rotary cutter and slice those "non starters" into super-absorbant strips and stitch up a rag rug.
We don't have Netflix, which to hear my friends talk is like saying, we don't have indoor plumbing. We don't have Tivo, expanded cable or satellite TV. And we don't live in a sod hut, either.
It's not like we're anti-TV, quite the contrary. We love TV. In fact, I think Mitch would fall weeping to the floor if he couldn't see Ann Heche Thursday nights. It's that here in this self-employed household, we spend so much on telecommunications—two phone lines, high-speed Internet, two cell phones, not to mention health insurance—to incur extra monthly expenses seems like a commitment.
So instead of Netflix, I request films from the library online. Granted I'm like 500th in the queue to get An Inconvenient Truth, but I should have Transamerica by the weekend. And it's free, if you don't count city taxes.
The lesson here, if there is one to be had, is one of patience and serendipity. I have no idea what books or films will show up at the library or when. And, it's not that important, since we're likely to fall asleep watching or reading anyway.
So, while we're off warming our bones in Scottsdale (for those of you unmarried gals, choose inlaws in a balmy place), your assignment is to read or watch something not published or released in 2006–7. I just finished 900–pages in eight-point type of Herman Wouk's 1962 novel, Youngblood Hawke. Women wore gloves. Everyone drank afternoon martinis. And cigarette smoke filled the restaurants and publishing houses of New York.
Can't wait to see the movie.
I'm not much of a charity knitter. This isn't something I'm proud of, and faced with so much generosity in Knitville, I suspect I feel a might guilty. The tradition of charity knitting runs deep in our craft. Whether it was socks for soldiers or sweaters for orphans, knitters have always clicked away for people in need. This is one of the things that make knitters so cool.
Bear with me while I rationalize a bit: I'm more likely to knit for a loved one who's sick or in need of comfort than I am to knit for a cause. I made a lavender alpaca shawl for a friend who suffered a miscarriage, a colorwork kippah for my father-in-law after his cancer diagnosis (thank God, he's doing well), a gaggle of yarmulkes for a family wedding, and the community afghan for my sister-in-law in the wake of her husband's death.
Of course, sometimes I get all selfish, too, and want to knit cute wardrobe items exclusively.
But then I ran across this (originally spied on JenLa's blog): Socks for Audrey. Even a hard-hearted knitter such as myself softened when reading about this young girl undergoing so much treatment—only 14 years old! So I went about trying to find pink sock yarn—Audrey's preferred color—ordering two skeins of Memories in Geranium from Knit Picks. These, unfortunately, turned out to be more red than pink. Clearly this wouldn't do.
Then, feeling absolutely dreadful about Ms. Violet's breast (Miss Violet of the eponymous "Lime and Violet" knitting podcast), I purchased a skein of the Violet's Pink Ribbon colorway from spinner/dyer Lisa Souza. (A portion of the proceeds go to help defray Miss Violet's medical expenses.) The divine Ms. V still doesn't have a diagnosis, so keep your needles crossed. I liked the idea of combining Violet's Pink Ribbon sock yarn with the Audrey knit-a-long.
Demand was so great for the Violet's Pink Ribbon that Lisa completely sold out (there's that generosity thing again). Dying stalled as she awaited a fresh shipment of yarn. Happily, mine arrived in the mail Saturday, and I decided it'd be perfect for a pair of girly fingerless mitts for Audrey; a young woman can only use so many socks. It's not really charity knitting, but it is, sort of.
Antone is unimpressed. He just wants to gnaw on the swift.
Still life of Violet's Pink Ribbon on swift with wild life
For someone who sits in front of a computer with dirty hair much of the time, this was quite the weekend. A passel of girlfriends came in from Westcliffe to attend a preview party for Design After Dark, which featured a talk by celebrity designer Barbara Barry and synopses by the eight participating architectural/design firms involved in Design After Dark. The event was held at the Denver Design Center in the Henredon showroom. For those of you who are familiar with the Denver Design Center, you know that it's the original lock box; it's easier to get space in a bomb shelter than it is to breach the DDC fortress. To get in, one must either be a member of the trade, press, or tagging along with aforementioned members of the trade or press. Apparently those rules have eased somewhat, but for this do, we needed invites.
Our friend Sally, who is an amazing oil painter, also happens to be Barbara Barry's sister, hence the tickets. We came, we saw, we "meeted and greeted," ogled the furniture, which is glamorous and understated at the same time, met Barbara, who was wearing the sweetest little black dress, and had just a grand time. We had a lovely dinner at Ocean; for me, big fat scallops and a walloping portion of wasabi mashers, and French fries tossed in truffle oil and Parmesan that we all shared. The food and company were delightful, but most impressive, perhaps, was the flat-screen monitor in the bathroom stall playing Pirates of the Caribbean. (Disconcerting that. Who wants Johnny Depp to watch them pee?)
Saturday, we spent the afternoon in the Daniel Liebskind-designed building at the Denver Art Museum, after lolling about a Cherry Creek makeup studio all morning. Since I wear foundation about as often as I shave my legs, I didn't have them create a custom-blended foundation for me, but had a grand time watching the affair; it's quite the process and less expensive than you'd think. At the museum, I reuuped my membership, netting a branded tote bag in the process, and then we began diving into galleries. With no square angles, it becomes a fascinating place to view art, as if the walls and art are in conversation together. Some of the curatorial decisions struck me as bizarre, why stash a small selection of Oceanic art behind a wall of high modern art? But other choices, the Radar exhibit from the Logan collection, wow, the most articulate assemblage of contemporary art I've ever seen.
Yesterday, I spent the day in recovery. And shaved my legs.
To Sally, a big "mwah" for the "in."

Project Engineer Interview (Positive Experience; Very Easy Interview)
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 months - interviewed at BNBuilders in November 2013.
Interview Details – First I had a phone interview with BNBuilders. I was extremely impressed, they were informative instead of interrogative approach like may interviews. The people at BNBuilders were trying to sell me their company they asked a few questions and then ended up telling me how great it was working at their company. They simply asked what I thought I could contribute and also were truly concerned and informative about the switch in living to San Francisco, (cost of living, transportation etc.)
Interview Question – They asked some pretty in depth questions about my past work experience that I honestly didn't expect them to be so intuitive and knowledgeable about. Surprised me and it was unexpected. View Answer
Reason for Declining – Ended up going with a company in another city where I really wanted to live.

T.O and Chad Ochocinco study reality film during bye week
CINCINNATI, OH - Showing their commitment to excellence, Bengal wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco spent every day of the bye week studying film. They began with intense analysis of Chad's Ultimate Catch and continued with Terrell Owens' The T.O Show.
"People need to know that we are always working hard, trying to get better at what we do," said Owens. "A lot of people look at this as downtime, but real pros like me and Ocho know this is the time to step up your reality show chops."
Last year, Ochocinco was disappointed with himself during the bye week, as he had hoped to finish reading his own book, Ocho Cinco: What Football and Life Have Thrown My Way. "I might have spent too much time goofing around last year," said Chad. "But I'm really focused now, I might even have time to meet with that guy about a new Ochocinco superhero comic book."
"You can learn a lot from watching film," said Ochocinco. "For example, I've learned that I am extremely handsome, but look even better with a soft focus shot from my left. Picking up on little tidbits like that is what is going to make my competition sweat, so watch out Brett Michaels."

They did it.
Our Seattle Seahawks scaled mount NFL and capped it with a legendary team performance in the Superbowl. They stand alone at the pinnacle of the epitome of team sports.
Now the hard part begins.
Now "Win Forever" is truly put to the test.
Gravity in the NFL is a peculiar beast. The higher you climb the harder it pulls. Even now, as the Seahawks parade through downtown Seattle and look out on endless horizons as champions of the national football league the gravity of the league has already begun to try and tear them down, replace greatness with mediocrity and reinstate the parity that the league has made its calling card for the last 30 years.
Most champions cannot withstand the crushing combination of schedule and draft penalties when combined with the insidious limits imposed by the salary cap. Indeed many great teams never reach the summit of the NFL because 'parity' reaches out and snatches them from the ranks of the contenders before the final ascent is made. Are the current editions of the 49ers or Broncos such teams, teams that look to be a whisker from immortality one week only to be reclaimed by the remorseless grind of NFL digester in the next season? Or will the Seahawks succumb first? It is too early to tell, but Seahawks fans know how quickly the worm can turn, especially when aided by a poison pill clause.
Our Seahawks looked invincible for one afternoon in February against the greatest offense in the history of football. But that was just one team. Now the offseason begins and the Seahawks must face down thirty-one other teams determined to rip them from their pedestal. Our Seahawks have a formidable task in front of them, but so do we, as fans.
I was born in Seattle in 1980. I moved to Michigan in 1990 but returned every school break to visit my father here in Seattle. My heart never left the northwest and I still claimed it as my home even as the scale of years began to tip in favor of naming other places as home. As if the concept of "home" was as easily defined as what zip code you officially reside in for the majority of your life. If I can't wake up and look south to Rainier, west towards the twin peaks of The Brothers in the Olympics and east to the grasping granite height of the Cascades then I am not home. My wife even mocked my definition of Seattle as "home," until we moved out here again in 2005. Once here I think it made more sense to her.
While away from the northwest at school I was lucky enough to have my university (MSU) win the NCAA basketball tournament. Much as with these Seahawks you could sense that something special was building in the seasons prior to achieving the championship. In a further parallel those Spartans also faced their toughest challenge on the road to the championship in their regional final and the final four became a coronation, leading to euphoria.
The Seahawks first Superb Owl certainly came with more than one dose of euphoria. The way the super bowl played out we all had time to understand, appreciate and savor the victory as it was happening and that feeling when I rushed onto Grand River Ave in East Lansing MI as a twenty year old flooded back and suddenly I was hanging out of car windows as my brothers and I drove through the city, screaming "SEA-" (or "HAWKS") at the top of my lungs, flashing "12" signs at pedestrians and basically acting like a twenty year old again instead of the staid father of two I have become. The waves of celebratory excitement mixed with various alcohols and slowly the celebration wound down as I prepared to go to work the next day.
In truth I've been walking on cloud nine since Percy took back that pooch-kick. I've devoured every laudatory article, podcast, chicken scratch or hieroglyph on the Seahawks and their tremendous victory that I could find. And, I'll admit it here in the safety of fellow 12s, took some slight voyeuristic pleasure in the cantankerous misery that was so palpably emanating from the cities of Denver and San Fran.
However, today I woke up with a bittersweet taste at the tip of my tongue. It began with a realization that my journey with this team was complete. Not with the Seahawks, but with those Seahawks. For the first time I understood that I, we, will never see the team that walked off that relatively balmy field in New Jersey as Champions of the Universe ever play football together again as a complete unit. And frankly, there is a little part of me that is just about ready to ball my eyes out about that. These guys were so much damn fun.
We talk about "rooting for laundry" in professional sports, but of course it is even more true of college sports. The 2000 MSU National Championship team, as well as every school or collegiate team I participated in had a built-in expiration date. That's part of the deal. People graduate and move on, they can't keep playing no matter the bonds formed. This, my first pro sports championship comes with some baggage that I didn't expect: the eventual necessity of cutting ties through choice rather than systematic turnover.
Why is this a big issue? It happens every year in every sport. PC and JS unceremoniously incinerated and scattered the ashes of Seattle last superbowl team over the NFL garbage heap in their feverish desire to lay the foundation for this championship and I barely spared a thought about the evisceration of that once almost-regal corpse. For the first time I understand why those season capsule videos that si does about every championship team in every league sell so well. Its not just nostalgia, or to fill space on a shelf, those video tap into the desire to trap lightning in a bottle, to embalm and preserve a specific edition of a team that we as fans developed such a treasured relationship with. Three payments of 19.95? After years of mockery that suddenly seems a cheap price to pay.
Of course our Seahawks are luckier than many champions. We have a young team and the cap space that goes with it. Most of our team should be back and recognizable next year, which is something that most of the recent series of one and done champions could not claim however they won't be the same. Already the LOB has likely seen the departure of a founding member (I will hate the NFL league office for eternity for what it did to BB this year). Who knows whether Tate will be back. I know I'll miss Miller more next year than I think I will right now. And what about our furiously churning D-line? Bennett will you come back? My brother grew a shaggy beard and razored his hair in imitation of you! Don't tell me we have to cut bait with Clem too!? Good lord, people are talking about Big Red as a possible off season cut too? Rice has basically been written off as a cut for three months but his TD catch vs. the Patriots last year may end up begin one of the plays that defines any burgeoning Seahawks dyn.... No too early.
Think about this: would people be shocked of the Seahawks cut the superbowl MVP during the preseason next year? Malcolm Smith had a terrific year, making play whenever and wherever he was given the chance. But if he loses a step or two or doesn't put in the work do I have any doubt that the ruthless shears of PC&JS will leave him on the cutting room floor come next August like BMW and (briefly) M-Rob before him?
I'm finally beginning to understand the reality of the Win Forever concept.
Accepting that the merciless side of its precepts apply to champions as well as the woebegone might just be the Hardest Part for me.
But, you know what?

Alter Ego De Palmer Margaux 2000
Alter Ego De Palmer - Bordeaux - France - Margaux
Professional Wine Reviews for Alter Ego De Palmer Margaux 2000Additional information »
The blended red wines of Bordeaux have gone down in history as the finest wines every produced, with collectors and many of the general public still eagerly anticipating the wineries of this region's new releases to this day. The secret to Bordeaux's monumental success has been their careful blending of high quality grape varietals, controlled and protected by French law. In Bordeaux, wineries can only produce red wines using a blend of two or more of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec or Carménere grape varietals, with the latter two becoming less and less commonly seen on bottles. The vast majority of Bordeaux red wines use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals, boosted by a little Petit Verdot. These three grapes compliment each other beautifully as they age in oak, rounded out their tannins and the high astringency of the Sauvignon, and resulting in wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
Of all the wine regions in France, the mostly highly esteemed and famous is surely Bordeaux. Most commonly associated with their superb examples of blended red wines, usually made with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot varietals, Bordeaux consistently demonstrates that their mix of traditional and modern wine-making styles is the recipe for fame and success. The region benefits greatly from its humid climate, and the fact that its clay and gravel based soils are perfect for growing the fine grape varietals which flourish there. The region is split into quite distinct sub-regions, with the finest generally believed to be the Left Bank and the Médoc region, where many of the most well known chateaux are based and produce their wonderful red and white wines.
It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
The Margaux appellation of France's legendary Bordeaux wine region is one of the world's most famous and highly respected viticultural areas. For centuries, Margaux has been deeply associated with extremely fine wines of the highest quality, made using traditional and time-honored techniques in order to extract the very best, most refined and elegant flavors and aromas from the Bordeaux varietal grapes which grow there. Margaux wines are almost always blended, using two or three key Bordeaux grapes, commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (amongst others). The blending techniques and quantities have been passed down through the generations in the ancestral chateaus which make up the region, and quality and prestige has never been allowed to falter, making Margaux one of the undisputed jewels in France's already glittering crown.

Watershed Projects :: Water Trails
Welcome to the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Water Trail System!
What is a water trail? It is a combination of a river with paddle routes and segments that are clearly described in maps and guides, with partnerships to expand public shoreline access, and stewardship projects to reduce erosion and protect water quality - the very resources paddlers come here to enjoy.
A Water Trails Steering Committee meets monthly to plan and implement water trail improvement projects. Please join us! Volunteers from the Water Trails Steering Committee are currently working on comprehensive Access Site Assessments for every car-top boat launch in the watershed, new paddle guides, new informational kiosks, stream gauge installation, and launch maintenance and improvements. For more information about the Water Trails Steering Committee, email:email@example.com.

Paddling the Quinebaug River Water Trail
The Quinebaug River Water Trail offers 45 miles of paddling within an hour's drive of three of New England's largest urban regions. Many of the segments provide an opportunity for family-friendly, close-to-home outdoor adventures with a surprisingly remote feel; wildlife is abundant and the only traces of civilization are the remnants of old mills.
Six water trail segments on the Quinebaug River provide almost 45 miles of paddling; all are designated as National Recreation Trails (NRT):
1) Holland Pond (Lake Siog) in Holland, MA, to East Brimfield Lake, E. Brimfield, MA (4.6 miles);
2) Paper Mill Pond in Dudley, MA, to Fabyan, West Thompson, CT (5.5 miles);
3) Fabyan in West Thompson, CT to West Thompson Lake, W. Thompson, CT (6.3 miles);
4) Simonzi Park in Putnam, CT, to Route 101 in Pomfret, CT (6.5 miles);
5) Brooklyn Riverside Park in Brooklyn, CT, upriver to Rogers Dam (4.8 miles); and
6) Wayne R Lafreniere Canoe Launch in Killingly, CT, to the CT DEEP Fish Hatchery in Plainfield, CT, Robert Manship Park in Canterbury, CT, and Butts Bridge in Canterbury, CT (15.5 miles).

Paddling the Willimantic River Water Trail
The Willimantic River Water Trail, a National Recreation Trail, provides more than 21 miles of paddling enjoyment and challenges, with only one short portage. There are three major segments, from the rapids and quickwater of the narrow upper section, to the impoundment above Eagleville Lake Dam and then downstream below the dam on slow-moving current or flat water to Route 66, just upstream of Willimantic.

More Paddling Locations
Check out these great places to paddle in The Last Green Valley:
Oxford, MA - Paddle a scenic 3.3 mile stretch of the French River, from Greenbriar Park to Hodges Village Dam. This stretch of the French River has only one established kayak/canoe launch and the trip down to the Bailey Bridge take-out area is not an easy paddle. Boaters must portage around at least two formidable beaver dams and can count on tree snags occurring here and there along the way. But what makes it worth the effort is the abundance of wildlife seen, particularly in the open marsh areas. Since public access is limited and paddlers few, wildlife viewing is great. Click here for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Guide to the French River Canoe Trail. Click here for the accompanying map.
Killingly, CT - An informal group of paddlers is meeting once a week during the summer to explore Killingly's waterways. Check out their website - Paddle Killingly - for details and a schedule. The Conservation Commission's website has descriptions of the public boat launches in town. Click here to access the Commission's Boating and Fishing web page.
Poquetanuck Cove - Poquetanuck Cove is a 2 mile long tidal estuary located between the towns of Ledyard and Preston, CT. The CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection experts describe the cove as the largest and highest quality brackish water meadow and cattail marsh on the Thames River. Click here for the new U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Poquetanuck Cove Canoe and Kayak Trail Guide.
Check out our new interactive map for other paddling locations.
Paddle Smart - Paddle Safe!
We want you to have fun on the water and enjoy The Last Green Valley's natural beauty. But you need to recognize that paddling can be hazardous and you must be prepared.
You are ultimately responsible for your own safety!
Before signing up for a paddle, please read the description carefully and evaluate whether you have the experience, skills, and equipment necessary to enjoy the trip safely. Most of the paddles will not include paddling instruction. All participants will be required to sign registration forms and liability waivers.
Hazards that can lead to severe injury or death include: Cold water, rocks, man-made and natural obstructions, strainers (anything that blocks passage, like a downed tree, but allows water to flow through), heavy currents, dams (including low-head dams), lightning, bad weather, bugs, other boats, and human error.
Properly fitting life jackets must be worn at all times on the water. Please discuss your equipment with the trip leader to be sure your boat is suitable for the segment. We recommend that each boat carry a spare paddle and throw line (rescue throw bag). Personal gear should include clothing suitable for the weather, a properly fitting life jacket, a whistle, sunscreen, bug repellant, drinks/snacks, and small waterproof bag to carry extras like cameras or binoculars. Additional gear such as helmets or specialized boats may be required for whitewater and coastal segments.
All paddles require pre-registration. If you must cancel after registering, please be courteous and let the trip leader know so that someone on the waiting list can take your place.

It Takes a Village of Idiots to Confine Children
It Takes a Village of Idiots
It never occurred to me that my childhood was a Dickensian horror of child labor, neglect, and endangerment, at least not until recently. Growing up in suburban Los Angeles in the 1970s, when crime exploded and societal unrest spread, my parents would often allow me to travel to the park on my own. I rode my bike to school, from at least the age of 10 or so, and probably younger than that. My folks would send me to the grocery store to pick up a few items occasionally, trusting that I would do it without a detour.

Given the breakdown, which I more or less agree with, I'm surprised you're solid at 9-3 and not split between that and 10-2.
I'm typically exceedingly optimistic on the eve of a new season, and this time I'm trying to talk myself out of 11-1. I have ND leaning to win, MSU a tossup with all they lost to graduation, and OSU a tossup pending QB developments. We don't lose all the rivalry games all the time. I know sometimes we lose some of the gimmes, but I think this team overachieves until a serious bowl opponent puts us in our place.

|Graphics awesome; discussion representatively difficult to parse
I'm with some previous commenters on two things: the graphics are awesome, and the discussion is hard to follow.
Graphics: the only improvement I can think of would be to merge all the images into one giant pdf so I can click it and zoom in on it and scroll around, without having to hit 'back' to find the next image whenever I want to compare something. (I could just open all of them in tabs, but I'm lazy.)
Discussion: one thing that's made the Draftageddon posts harder for me to read as the series went on is that you guys are now writing kind of like professors who have forgotten what your students don't know. I read most of the Draftageddon posts, but I still don't remember who Michael Rose or Theiren Cockran are. It'd be much easier to read if guys got long titles like "Nebraska MLB Michael Rose (0th rd, Tom VH)" or "Minnesota DE Theiren Cockran (32nd rd, Heiko)" or whatever for their first mention in each post. [NB: good thing I Googled Theiren Cockran just now, because I assumed he played for MSU until I checked.] There were definitely diminishing rewards for me as time went on with this series because each time somebody forgets to put a name on who's drafting or snarking or whatever, I'm lost, and I don't want to put in the effort to scroll up and figure out which team this must be, given that it has DG at QB, etc. There's just a *lot* to track and that requires a *lot* of signposting.
Anyway, it's a hell of a service to go through all this, and I hope you keep doing it one way or another for that mythical future offseason where I have enough free time to process everything.
ETA: Can all the information you've created be compiled on a team-by-team basis, so we can read everything you've got to say about the individual players on, say, Michigan State, perhaps as that game approaches? I know you'll repackage the information in the preview, but maybe there could be an additional post that just chronologically collects a significant amount of what you've said about each player on any given team. That might be a way for us to follow the snarking about any individual guy through the series, as you refer back to earlier episodes of snark that are, for most of us, pretty vague memories.

|different opinion
I'm happy as long as Miller keeps earning starts at C.
If Miller is really better than Glasgow at C, our worst case scenario is that we have Kalis as a 6th OL. Assuming Kalis can play either G spot in an equally mediocre way, then we'd be in a position where, in case of an injury, Mags could take over for Cole, or Kalis could take over for Mags or Glasgow, or Glasgow could take over for Miller. The only possible spot where we could lose 1 OL and not have a serviceable backup is at RT, though maybe even there you can just shuffle Mags over and have Kalis draw into the lineup at LG.
That, perhaps sadly, would give us more serviceable depth than last year, which is ok by me. I know not everyone agrees that Miller at C is a good sign but I just don't see a scenario where he's starting at C over Glasgow without being the best center on the roster. We just aren't that hard up for guards.

|This is correct
Yes, but I don't think that's a deviation from their historical range, and the populations in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming are, as far as I know, healthy. (A ranger at Glacier National Park told me a couple of summers ago that wolverines were regularly sighted there.)
I used to think that rarely reported sightings of wolverines further into the US were evidence that wolverines were in trouble, but the US Fish and Wildlife Service makes it sound like, for all we know, there weren't ever breeding populations further south than the current range. If you think about it, on the one hand, how long it's been since a wolverine wandered down into Utah or Michigan or California or Colorado does seem like a pretty arbitrary measure of species health. But on the other hand, as we've seen with questions about the health of wolf populations in Michigan, the US Fish and Wildlife Service is not immune to massaging the evidence to support a politically favored outcome.

|They're extinct in Michigan
They're extinct in Michigan and the population was once very low in the 48 contiguous states, but I think they've been doing well in Canada and Alaska forever.

|The football team isn't the
The football team isn't the legal system. He has a presumption of innocence in the legal system, even if he gets charged as an accomplice (as he should be, based on the video, IMO). But on the football team I see absolutely no problem with suspending any player anywhere near a fight involving other players, especially when, as I think happened here, a player is involved in setting someone up to be assaulted by a teammate.
