World's Longest-Range Passenger Jet
Experts say ultra-long range planes deliver mixed benefits to airlines...
May 5, 2013 10:55 by Reuters
Proof that ultra-long haul is not for everyone is contained in a quick comparison of sales for comparable existing models.
Boeing has sold 59 of its 777-200LR endurance jet, which entered service in 2007, compared with 687 of the shorter-range but highly popular 777-300ER.
Air India has announced plans to sell 5 777-200LR's and one industry source said some or all could end up being acquired by the government for VIP transport. Air India declined comment.
Before the 777-200LR, the industry's previous long-distance record-holder, the Airbus A340-500, was capable of flying 9,000 nautical mile on polar routes yet notched up fewer than 40 sales.
Production was halted in 2011, driven also by a wider slowdown in sales for all but the largest four-engine aircraft.
Reflecting thinner demand for super-long haul, the 777-8X is expected to take a backseat to the 777-9X, which is seen as the main weapon in an all-out defence of Boeing's mini-jumbo franchise. The main model is slated to enter service at the end of the decade.
Nonetheless, recent public presentations suggest Boeing is confident the significantly enlarged wing and more powerful engines designed for the main 777-9X model will give airlines the flexibility to use the 777-8X spin-off more efficiently.
Randy Tinseth, vice president of Boeing marketing, told financiers in January the 777X would have "significantly lower operating cost" and greater payload and range ability. Airbus says its 350-seater is the right size and costs less to run.
As both sides trot out competing claims, the 777 vs A350 contest is likely to spark a fierce debate on technology – just as the industry digests the lessons of recent technical troubles on the 787 Dreamlinerand, before that, the A380 superjumbo.
Boeing is expected to argue that its decision to keep the 777's metal fuselage and focus on new carbon-fiber wings will marry increased performance with a proven record of reliability.
Airbus argues its A350-1000, the largest variant of its A350 family, will be cheaper to run because the whole plane, not just the wings, will be mainly built of lightweight carbon fibre.
Ironically, the two rivals are taking roughly opposite positions at the smaller end of the market for wide-bodied jets, where Boeing is pushing a possible all-composite stretched version of its 787 Dreamlineragainst the traditional A330, an older plane marketed on reliability and availability.
Both the 777 and A330 are important cash cows, helping to produce the funds needed to pay for ground-breaking developments such as the 787 and A350.

|Source: Red Sox hire Chili Davis to become hitting coach
|10.19.14 at 6:11 pm ET
According to multiple major league sources, the Red Sox have agreed to terms with Chili Davis to become their next hitting coach.
Davis, who worked as the hitting coach for the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox in 2011, has been the Oakland A's hitting coach for the past three seasons. Though the A's finished third in the AL in runs per game (4.5) under Davis this year, the team's offense went into a tailspin in the final two months of the season, likely contributing to the A's willingness to let the Sox talk to Davis, at a time when he remained under contract with Oakland.
The Sox chose Davis from a pool that also included Red Sox hitting coordinator Tim Hyers, Red Sox Double-A hitting coach Rich Gedman, Angels hitting coordinator Paul Sorrento and former Cubs hitting coach Bill Mueller.
UPDATED (9:13 p.m.): According to one source, with Davis on board, the Red Sox will conduct interviews for the position of assistant hitting coach starting this week, with the team wanting to get the input of Davis on making that hire to ensure a comfortable working relationship with whomever is chosen. Davis does have a prior history with Victor Rodriguez, who was the Red Sox' assistant hitting coach in 2013 and 2014, after serving as hitting coordinator for several seasons prior to that — including 2011, when Rodriguez was the minor league hitting coordinator at a time when Davis was the hitting coach for Triple-A Pawtucket.
The current candidate pool (and whether it includes Rodriguez) for the assistant hitting coach position remains unknown, though it is believed that the Sox may talk with some of the individuals who were candidates for the position of hitting coach about the assistant position.
|Red Sox hitting coach Greg Colbrunn won't return in 2015
|10.03.14 at 11:27 am ET
The Red Sox announced that hitting coach Greg Colbrunn "has elected not to return to the position for the 2015 season." According to multiple sources, he was offered a position in the organization, but declined.
In a text, Colbrunn said he was unsure if he wanted to work in baseball for the coming season, but if he did it would have to be close to his South Carolina home.
One year after Colbrunn served as the hitting coach of a team that led the majors with 5.27 runs per game en route to a World Series, he oversaw a squad that managed just 3.91 runs per game, 11th in the American League. Colbrunn also spent time away from the team in June due to a brain hemorrhage that resulted in his hospitalization. Over time, upon his return to the team in July, he was able to build back to his regular duties amidst a dramatic second-half roster overhaul.
Prior to joining the Sox as the lead hitting coach of their two-coach structure (with Victor Rodriguez, a longtime Sox minor league coach and coordinator, as the assistant hitting coach), he'd spent six seasons as the hitting coach and manager of the Yankees' Single-A affiliate in Charleston, S.C., where Colbrunn makes his offseason home.
One name to keep an eye on in regards to replacing Colbrunn is former Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan. Magadan has one more year on his current contract with the Rangers, but with Texas in the process of looking for another manager a reunion with the Sox might make sense. (Magadan's wife is from New Hampshire.)
|Red Sox pregame notes: Rusney Castillo to make Red Sox debut on Wednesday
|09.16.14 at 7:57 pm ET
PITTSBURGH — Rusney Castillo is about to become a bit less mysterious.
Castillo will lead off and play center field for Pawtucket in the Triple-A championship game on Tuesday night in Charlotte, NC. Once that contest is concluded, he'll fly to Pittsburgh to join the Red Sox, with a Wednesday night start in center field in the offing. The initial, brief read on his performance through 10 minor league playoff games — two in the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League, four in Double-A Portland and four more with Triple-A Pawtucket — has been favorable, particularly when taking into account that it had been roughly a year and a half since he'd last played baseball in a competitive environment.
He's hitting .297 with a .381 OBP, .405 slugging mark, five walks, seven strikeouts and four doubles to this point. The Sox have seen some evidence of the athleticism and energy that scouts have seen for years.
"He's an electric player and there's a lot of skills here, it's explosive, it's quick twitch. Looking forward to seeing him in this environment," said manager John Farrell, who said that, at the plate, "he's handled himself well, and given the time off since he last played competitively, his at-bats have been productive, they've been consistent." The defense has also been at least solid according to the reports of Triple-A manager Kevin Boles, with his reads and routes being described as average but with his closing speed permitting his range to exceed such descriptions.
While the early signs have been promising, Farrell suggested that it will be important to recognize that Castillo remains in spring training mode. While he is expected to play regularly, he will play less than everyday (in part due to the gradual buildup of his workload, in part because the Sox still have to work in other outfielders). Meanwhile, a team source said that Castillo is not expected to serve as the leadoff hitter — at least in the immediate term — while getting acclimated to the big leagues.
"I think it's important for us to keep in mind and keep in perspective that it's been a year and a half. He's just kind of getting back into game shape," said Farrell. "I think the goal going in for the games that he's on the field is for him to just experience the environment. We've got a little bit of a read on him right now on where his strengths and limitations might be but that's just an initial view. We're still in the getting familiar stage of all this. I think any judgment on my part is reserved until we get to see him more."

|Dustin Pedroia may be shut down for season
|09.09.14 at 4:17 pm ET
According to Red Sox manager John Farrell, Dustin Pedroia "could be" shut down for the season after an MRI confirmed there is increased inflammation in the second baseman's left hand/wrist.
He's got some soreness in the left hand, and he's been getting treatment on it for some time now. As it has worsened some, we felt like he needs to give this a little bit of a break," said Farrell. "I can't say whether it's directly related to the repair that he went through last year, but an MRI did reveal that it's got further inflammation in the left hand, left wrist area. … It's been a little while, and yet he's been banged up a little bit and being able to manage it to a certain extent while still playing. As it continued to worsen a little bit, we backed him off."
Farrell didn't know yet if surgery would be an option, saying that Pedroia has been dealing with the issue for a while. The team, the manager said, is still working to gather more information about the extent of the injury and options for dealing with it.
"It's had an impact, there's no doubt," said Farrell. "To what extent is hard to say, but he's dealt with this for some time."
Farrell said that Pedroia had continued to play because there was no risk of further injury, but given his worsening health, the team recognized the need to evaluate him.
"If he were to continue to play, does it put him at further risk? I don't think that the medical staff is saying he's at further risk. It's just to the point where the discomfort is there, and we're taking some time now to gather all the information and lay out the best plan going forward for him," said Farrell. :His long-term health is the most important thing, and that will always be kept in the forefront."
Pedroia is currently batting .278 with seven homers, scoring 72 runs , having played 134 games. He has also walked 51 times, while totaling 75 strikeouts.
Jemile Weeks is the Red Sox' starting lineup Tuesday, hitting eighth. Farrell said that when Brock Holt recovers from both a recent illness and a stiff neck, the team would like him to be its primary second baseman. He suggested that, for now, the team does not expect to consider Mookie Betts at second, instead preferring to continue his regular work in the outfield.
|No fracture, but David Ortiz day-to-day after suffering foot contusion
|08.24.14 at 5:08 pm ET
Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz was forced from Sunday's game against the Mariners after suffering contusion on his right foot.
Ortiz exited after favoring the foot while rounding first base on a single to deep right field. Upon returning to the base, the DH walked off the field with manager John Farrell.
The initial injury seemingly occurred in the fourth inning with one out when Ortiz fouled a ball off the inside of his foot, sending the DH to the ground while bringing on the Red Sox training staff. An initial fluoroscan on the foot after Ortiz was removed from the game did not show a fracture.
"He's day-to-day. The foul ball off the foot obviously after he hits a ball off the wall in right and can only get to first base. It's a contusion. The fluoroscan at this point proved negative. No fractures of any kind based on that test," said Farrell. "We'll check him once we get to the ballpark tomorrow and obviously throughout the night tonight.
Ortiz reached two more times (single, walk) in his four plate appearances, making it 20 times he has safely gotten on base in his last 26 plate appearances. While Kelly Johnson — who entered as a pinch-runner — hit a double in his first plate appearance, the fact that Johnson rather than Ortiz was at the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the ninth, ultimately striking out to conclude the Sox' 8-6 loss, represented a source of some frustration for the Sox.
"Anytime you lose David Ortiz out of your lineup, it's a hole. That's not to take anything away from Kelly Johnson who doubled in his first at-bat. We'd like to have David up at the plate more often than the four or five times a night to begin with," said Farrell. "It's someone that we miss, who's been a main cog in our offense daily and year-to-date. Hopefully this is just a short-lived loss in the lineup for him."
|John Farrell: 'No new news' on Jon Lester as deadline nears
|07.30.14 at 11:07 pm ET
As the final innings of a one-sided 6-1 Red Sox loss unfolded, a chant bubbled up from some corners of Fenway Park.
"Jon-ny Les-ter! Jon-ny Les-ter!"
It was a spontaneous crowd tribute to a pitcher who has spent his career with the Red Sox since the team drafted him in 2002, who has spent every day of his nine-season big-league career calling Fenway Park home. It was a moment of recognition that, by the time the dust settles on the Major League Baseball trade deadline at 4 p.m. on Thursday, there's a very real chance that Jon Lester will no longer be a member of the Red Sox.
"We were well aware of it, heard it. Wouldn't expect anything less," said Sox manager John Farrell after the game. "This is a fan base that is very much in tune with what we're doing, good and bad, and I think it's a clear sign of support for Jon."
Lester, said Farrell, was in the dugout for the full nine innings of the Sox' listless loss to the Blue Jays. And as of the end of the game, the manager added, there was nothing to report regarding the possibility of a trade.
"No new news or any progression of any sort to announce," said Farrell. Read the rest of this entry »
|As talks advance, Red Sox scratch Jon Lester; Brandon Workman to start Wednesday
|07.29.14 at 10:41 pm ET
With trade winds blowing around Jon Lester, the Red Sox have scratched the left-hander from his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Blue Jays. The team will recall Brandon Workman from Triple-A Pawtucket.
"In light of all the uncertainty surrounding Jon Lester, it's probably in everyone's best interests that he does not make that start, so Brandon will be recalled," Red Sox manager John Farrell said after Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays. "There will be a corresponding move roster-wise at some point tomorrow."
That corresponding move, of course, could be a trade that sends Lester elsewhere. The 30-year-old — amidst a season in which he's 10-7 with a 2.52 ERA — represents one of the foremost chips on the market.
One general manager who has checked in with the Red Sox said that it was looking like a deal would be done either on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Industry sources suggest that some teams that had been involved in talks for the pitcher are exiting the running for his services, including the two AL East teams — the Orioles and Blue Jays — that had been kicking the tires on the pitcher.
UPDATE (11:19 p.m.): According to an industry source, multiple teams remain involved in negotiations about a potential Lester trade, suggesting that a deal is not yet in place.

Fewer rural students head for college. The problem for rural places: Fewer college graduates return
Both North and South Dakota perform well above the national average when it comes to high school graduation rates, but nationwide, graduation rates between rural and urban students are almost too close to call, accepting a margin of error: 83 percent and 86 percent, respectively. However, the discrepancy between rural and urban residents who have any amount of post-secondary education is a full 13 percentage points: 46 percent and 59 percent, respectively. So, why doesn't that high graduation rate translate to post-secondary education the way it does for the urban population? Read More »

What Do Effective and Equitable Teachers Know and Do? Two Theories of Reform Compete for Policy Attention Bureaucratic Accountability -- Control Teaching via Tests & Texts -- Standardize Practice -- Emphasize "Doing Things Right" Professional Accountability -- Develop Expert Practice -- Support Student Learning -- Emphasize "Doing the Right Things" What Matters Most The experience of high-performing school systems around the world suggests that 3 things matter most: 1) Getting the right people to become teachers 2) Developing them into effective instructors, and 3) Ensuring that the system is able to deliver the best possible instruction for every child. ---Barber & Mourshed The U.S. invests less in teaching than other countries Preparation is uneven and underfunded Salaries are unequal and noncompetitive Well-prepared teachers are unequally distributed Learning & collaboration time is scarce Strong systems for recruiting and preparing teachers and leaders are rare To Get Effective Teaching, We Need to… Overhaul teacher & administrator preparation Create a steady supply of well-prepared teachers & leaders to all schools Develop, recognize, and share teacher knowledge and skill to create widespread expertise Build productive school environments Teacher Effectiveness has Many Components Student learning gains are related to teachers': Strong academic background Quality preparation prior to entry Certification in the field taught Experience (> 3 years) National Board Certification Together, these factors predict more of the difference in student learning than race & parent education combined (Clotfelter et al., 2008). Policies should strengthen & equalize these features. Teaching Effectiveness Depends on Many Factors Teacher knowledge, skills, dispositions, and behaviors that support the learning process. Hanushek et al. estimate the individual teacher effects component of measured student achievement is about 7% of the total. Student availability for learning – Prior learning opportunities, health, supportive home context, attendance, developed abilities Resources for learning – Curriculum quality, materials, class sizes, specialist supports, etc. Coherence and continuity – The extent to which content & skills are well organized and reinforced across grades and classes Current policies won't get us there… Unequal funding, salaries, and working conditions Sink or swim entry Crash and burn-out induction Hit and run professional development Merit pay without competitive, equitable salaries Firing teachers without building a stable supply of excellent teachers Focusing on personnel without changing schools The Teaching Gap Creates Most of the Achievement Gap The least experienced and prepared teachers often teach the least advantaged students High attrition rates for less-prepared and supported teachers create a revolving door and wasted resources for PD Each teacher replacement costs $15,000 - $20,000 Students taught by underqualified teachers have significantly lower achievement in reading and mathematics. These effects are magnified in poorly staffed schools. Other reforms cannot work when the teaching force is underprepared and unstable. Effects of Teacher Underpreparation Value-Added Gains of Students Whose Teachers Graduated from Different Teacher Education Programs in NYC ELA Strong Gains in ELA and Math Strong Gains in ELA, not math Math Weak Gains in ELA and Math Strong Gains in Math, not ELA Program Features Influencing Teacher Effectiveness Quality of student teaching experience Courses in content and content pedagogy Focus on learning and applying specific tools in the classroom Study of local district curriculum Portfolio or capstone project tying theory to practice Action Steps: Expand High- Quality Pathways to Teaching Evaluate all preparation and induction programs based on results of -- teacher performance assessments (TPA) -- graduates' contributions to student learning -- retention rates in teaching Use results in program approval / accreditation decisions Study successful programs & create incentives for other programs to adopt these features Expand successful programs and eliminate those that don't improve Action Steps: Improve Induction, Evaluation, and Professional Learning Ensure that induction includes coaching and collaborative planning Organize mentoring around a serious teacher performance assessment Involve mentors, principals, and teacher educators as assessors Introduce performance-based licensure for school leaders based on understanding teaching Action Steps: An Extreme Makeover for Teacher Evaluation Combine Evidence of Practice, Performance, and Outcomes in an Integrated Evaluation System that looks at: Teaching practice in relation to standards, curriculum goals, and student needs Contributions to colleagues and the school, and Evidence about student learning / growth at the classroom and school level in relation to teaching practices, curriculum goals, and student needs. Evaluating for Improvement Evaluate and accredit teaching programs based on teacher performance, placement and retention, and teaching outcomes Evaluate teachers based on standards of practice and many kinds of evidence about student learning with skilled evaluators who provide expert feedback Evaluate principals and schools based on how well they provide the necessary supports for good teaching The Status of Professional Development in the United States § Effective professional development is better understood but still relatively rare in the U.S. § Most teachers (>90%) participate in 1 to 2 day workshops and conferences. § Well under half get sustained PD, get mentoring or coaching, or observe other classrooms. § Only 17% of U.S. teachers reported a great deal of cooperative effort among staff members in 2004. This percentage shrank to 15% in 2008. What Research Tells Us Well-designed professional development can improve practice and increase student achievement. A review of high-quality experimental studies found that among programs offering extended PD (49 hours on average over 6 to 12 months), student achievement increased by 21 percentile points. (Yoon et al., 2007) One-shot workshops do not have Professional Learning Opportunities in High-Achieving Nations Abroad High-achieving nations in Europe and Asia: § Provide beginners with intensive mentoring. § Offer extensive, sustained learning opportunities (15-25 hours per week, plus 100 hours /year) embedded in practice § Go well beyond workshops: ØTeachers engage regularly in Lesson Study, Action Research, and Peer Observation and Coaching to evaluate and improve practice. US Teachers Spend Much More Time Instructing and Much Less Time Planning Student Assessment Systems Abroad Also Support Effective Teaching Assessments measure – and encourage - the full range of knowledge and skills represented in standards. Teacher scoring supports professional learning PD focuses on student learning through action research and So What are we Doing about This? While there is strong consensus that teaching quality is the key, the U.S. has been falling further behind in both international achievement and access to high-quality teacher learning. What's ahead will depend on new policy in Race to the Top, ESEA, and the Common Core Standards movement What We Need In Order to Achieve Teaching Quality & Equity Student performance assessments that shape productive learning and teaching Teacher & principal performance assessments to improve preparation, licensure, and accreditation High-quality preparation for all educators Teacher and Leadership Development Academies Sustained, practice-based collegial learning opportunities for teachers & leaders Educator careers that reward, develop, and share expertise We will have succeeded if, as a result of these efforts… Those who can, do. Those who understand teach. Those who can, teach. Those who can't, go into a less significant line of work.

I was exposed to the elements. The clouds were swirling, the rain was lashing, the wind was howling. It was cold and wet, fomfomfom was almost blown away and my ears were flapping but I endured bravely on. I felt alive, invigorated, I almost howled with the wind.

Happy 43rd birthday Singapore! I watched the national day parade on tv and it wasn't particularly interesting so we switched to watching the olympics. But we switched back to watch the grand sing-along session and I thought the songs were so nice. But I didn't go to school so no one taught me how to sing our national songs. It was a pity. I'll ask ah bee to teach me how to sing the songs so I can sing along loudly next year and every year after that. Oh, and my little flag is missing from all that moving house so I couldn't wave it in front of the tv.

I thought up a new game to play. I sat among my soft toys and asked cha to guess where I am. I thought she won't be able to find me so I can play it for a long time. But cha didn't even look up from her computer and she said, do you think you are a soft toy? Come out!

I object strongly to voyeurism. Fomfomfom told me while I was on my afternoon walk today, pooing, she observed me from 12 stories above. I find such behavior inherently objectionable, the stealthy observation, not the pooing. Therefore I told fomfomfom in no uncertain terms such behavior is to be abhorred, and I will look down on her until she changes. She was ashamed.

A Hack for a SwiftPosted: November 20, 2014 Filed under: Crochet, Fiber Arts, Knitting | Tags: crafting problems, crochet hack, knitting hack, using a swift, winding yarn 2 Comments
I'm a big believer that you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, in the case of ballwinders and swifts, you always end up spending a good amount, even for the ones on the low end of the cost spectrum. I will be nice and not name the company I bought my swift and ballwinder from, but let's just say it's one of the inexpensive ones, relatively speaking, and sure enough, I've had tons of problems. Usually when I want to wind my yarn, I just take it up to the shop, which defeats the purpose of having the equipment at my house. The main problem with my swift is that the screw you use to hold it in place after you expand it to the size of your skein has never worked. It seems like the company never made it properly, and it has never held the swift up. The company even sent me a replacement, which didn't work any better than the first one!
Then the other day, my husband dug around on a shelf and came up with what you see in the photos. It works like a charm, and I can't believe it took us this long to figure out such a simple hack! But then that's the thing about hacks – they are genius, yet simple at the same time.
A Crafter's LuxuryPosted: November 17, 2014 Filed under: Fiber Arts, Knitting, Tutorials | Tags: how to knit socks, knitting, silver's sock class, sock knitting, toe-up sock knitting 3 Comments
As I've mentioned before, my foray into yarny adventures began with crochet. After I crocheted for awhile, I realized how different knitting and crocheting are, and that each lends itself better to certain things. My original reason for wanting to learn to knit was so I could make socks. People do crochet socks, but all the ones I saw my friends making were knit, and I wanted to be able to do that too!
Sock knitting has been a difficult thing for me, for whatever reason. DPN's do take some getting used to, and then there's the heel turn, and getting the darn things to fit on my extra long feet! However, I will say, despite the struggles I've had, I still think a handmade pair of socks, even those like mine above, which don't have any fancy pattern, are a crafter's well-earned luxury. Most of the socks you buy at chain stores may be cheap, but they're not made from superwash merino or alpaca and cashmere, and let's be honest, they just don't look half as cool! Most people would abhor the idea of spending $25+ on a single pair of socks (the going rate for a skein of fine sock yarn), and to make them means you're completing practically as many stitches as you would if you made a sweater. However, I figure it's a small price to pay for a really special luxury!
If you are new to sock knitting, I recommend that you find a very simple pattern to follow, or begin with Silver's Sock Class. You can always use a variegated or self striping yarn as I did to give basic Stockinette interest. My first ever pair was done cuff down. I then decided I wanted to try toe-up, which is the second pair I just finished. There are many books on sock knitting, but when I'm learning something new, I like to stick to the basics for awhile. Now that I've tried the basic techniques and managed to finish two pairs, I'm ready to try a pair with a little more pattern. If you are struggling to make it through the second sock, I encourage you to push through to the finish, because you will be rewarded when you slip them on your feet!
Seriously Cool Star WarsPosted: November 13, 2014 Filed under: Fashion, Inspiration, Knitting, knitting charts, Patterns | Tags: double knitting, free pattern, george lucas, knitting chart, scarf, star wars 3 Comments
Here's a little something you probably don't know about me. I don't think I've posted anything that would have made anyone guess, but I really LOVE Star Wars. I blame this on my brother. I hadn't seen the movies or paid much attention to it until he became a fanatic. He begged me for weeks to just watch one movie, and of course, once I did, I binge-watched them all.
I am not as geeked out over it as he is – I never bought and traded thousands of the collector cards like he did, but I did go see the re-releases plus all the new ones in the theaters. And every summer or Christmas break, I get in the mood to have a Star Wars marathon, and enjoy them each time. I think this is one of THE coolest things I've ever seen, so I am excited to share it! I have no problem admitting that I am definitely enough of a fan to make and wear this! And any fellow fans should seriously send this person a thank you, because I doubt George Lucas would be giving it away for free! :)
Chunky Polka DotsPosted: November 11, 2014 Filed under: Fashion, Inspiration, Knitting, knitting charts, Patterns | Tags: a beautiful mess, free knitting pattern, gifts, hikoo, intarsia, knitting, polka dots, skacel, zumie Leave a comment
Not too long ago, I posted a holiday gift guide of sorts. Please allow me to respectfully add one more item of my own design to the list. This scarf, which was claimed by my daughter about 5 minutes after I started working on it, is super fast, even though it involves intarsia, and is the perfect gift for a young girl. My daughter is 9, and it is hard to find patterns for kids that age. Most of the books only take kids' sizes up through 6 or 7, and even stores seem to skip age 9. Style-wise, kids, especially girls, that age are at a difficult stage. They're done with the Disney princesses, but not quite ready for all the stuff targeted at teenagers.
My daughter went to a birthday party a few months back and came home with a polka-dotted gift bag. The bag sat around our house staring at me for a few weeks before I finally threw it out. But when our shop got a shipment of Zumie, I had a jolt of inspiration. Polka dots and chunky knit seem to fit the bill for 9 year-old girliness crossed with a move toward growing up. You can have your own fun picking out the colors, as I did, or you can ask your little lady what her favorite colors are.
Aside from my new free pattern, I offer one more little goodie. I have, up until now, been posting all my patterns on Ravelry, as it is the only place I'm able to process transactions on patterns for purchase. Other freebies, such as the Doubles Remix cowl have simply been blog posts. I thought it would be helpful for everyone if all my patterns were in one place. Starting with this new pattern, plus all others, you may now visit the newly created Patterns page. For now, all of my for-sale patterns are on the main page, and the free patterns are separated into the dropdown. As I continue to design and add patterns, I will do my best to keep it easy for you to find what you want. For instance, once I add a few more crochet patterns, there will be another dropdown for those. In the meantime, I hope this new page makes it easier to find things. Enjoy browsing my little portfolio of designs, and I hope, enjoy crafting them! Many thanks to all of you who read my blog, make my designs, and support me as a designer! Please share your photos of finished objects on Ravelry with me, because I would love to see!
Crochet and Knitting TriviaPosted: November 10, 2014 Filed under: Books and Reviews, Crochet, Fashion, Knitting | Tags: celebrities who crochet, celebrities who knit, gela nash-taylor, juicy couture, the fashion spot, the glitter plan Leave a comment
I recently finished reading The Glitter Plan, which is the story in their own words of how the two founders of Juicy Couture built the company out of basically nothing. I am a sucker for American Dream stories where someone has a few dollars and through their own hard work and creativity, turn it into a multi-million dollar company. I was very pleasantly surprised to read that Gela Nash-Taylor (half of the Juicy Couture founding team) is a knitter and, like me, sits up at night and knits to relieve stress. I've periodically seen a photo here or there of other more famous celebrities who knit and crochet. Just for fun, I thought I'd see if I could find a list. Here is what I came up with, although I'm sure this is by no means comprehensive. I'm not sure why I enjoy yarny trivia so much, but I hope you all enjoy browsing these as much as I did!
Those who knit might surprise you. By the way, to add to the trivia fun, I am told a certain Desperate Housewife in this list used to come in our shop all the time. I just wish I'd been working there at the time!
Those who crochet might surprise you even more!
And, if like me, you still love a good track suit, this book will tell you the story behind how it all started.
Top 10 Favorites From a Museum VisitPosted: November 5, 2014 Filed under: Art and Design, Inspiration | Tags: delaunay, expressionism, franz marc, gaughin, heinrich campendonk, kandinsky, kirchner, lacma, raoul dufy, theo van rysselberghe, van gogh Leave a comment
Back in the summer, my friend and I went to see this exhibit at LACMA. I am in the mood to revisit the museum again, but unfortunately, this exhibit has closed. So I decided to revisit all my photos instead. I have always loved the Expressionism movement, and Wassily Kandinsky has long been a favorite artist of mine. But this exhibit was great because it introduced me to a number of artists in the movement I was not familiar with, and works that I'd never seen. I took as many photos of the exhibit as I could, but here I'm sharing my favorite ten. Enjoy!
And now, three paintings I loved, even though the pastel color palette is a bit surprising, considering how so much of the Expressionism movement was all about bold color.
The Design Process FinalePosted: November 3, 2014 Filed under: Art and Design, Fashion | Tags: business, business of fashion, design, fashion design, how to, logistics, process Leave a comment

At what point will people stop bringing up the fact the Leafs won't win the cup this year, no Leafs fan on this site is claiming the Leafs are contenders this year. Its juvenile to constantly bring up that hyperbole.
Its not just taxes, its cultural, many players do not want to play in a French market because of the language barrier. Especially one with such an intense media.
Mark Bell was a contract the Leafs had to take in order to get Toskala, the Leafs didn't want Bell. For such an intelligent hockey fan I would have thought you'd be able to see through the TSN propaganda and figure that out for yourself. If Mark Bell becomes a problem the Leafs can afford to send him to the minors.
It is a reflection of dysfunctional management that JFJ requires an adviser, however it remains to be seen how that works out. Brian Colangelo has two advisers he works with and you'd be hard pressed to find better management in any league. To say that JFJ can't have a productive relationship with his potential adviser is merely speculation, but thanks for repeating the TSN/Sportnet meme that it can't work.
Its typical for a Habs fans to point to the AHL where they've invested their hope and ignore the LNH where there is little hope. I'd invite some Habs fans to read a list of NHL drafts and count how many players actually make it to the LNH, let alone become impact players. Your prospects are hardly a sure thing.]]>

Let's say I am in the market for a new bike, and these are the two choices. Which one would you choose?
Don't ask me if I race or how long or how much do I ride or what's my wattage. Just tell me what will make YOU choose one over the other.
Let's say I am in the market for a new bike, and these are the two choices. Which one would you choose?

You could fall off a cliff and die.
You could get lost and die.
You could hit a tree and die.
Just had a convo with a guy that has an R5 and standard mod Evo, he said the evo doesn't feel as efficient as the R5 so he will use the R5 for road races and the evo for crits. Don't shoot the messenger....
2013 Specialized Roubaix SL4
EVO here. May have to have one myself someday. Very stiff and responsive. Unlike anything else I've ever ridden. I've not ridden Cervelo though.
When you argue with an idiot, from a bystanders point of view, it may be hard to discern which is the idiot. (dis·cern: Verb - Perceive or recognize)
I would get a Cervelo S5. The aero nature makes the bike noticeably faster.
I was going to buy an EVO before I bought my Wilier Zero 7. Actually similar bikes in a lot of ways (both very light, and both have a polymer in the layup to supposedly take the edge of the ride, and increase resistance to impact damage)
After a guy I do some group rides with, who is a bit of a Fred got an Evo, my vanity wouldn't allow me to copy him.
You could fall off a cliff and die.
You could get lost and die.
You could hit a tree and die.
R5, because I love my R3. Great bike to ride up and down hills.
Don't believe everything you think.
Evo because you can get a build with a traditional style handlebar and FSA KForce components. I like that. You get that neat Cannondale crank too.
Don't believe everything you think.
Decision time: 12 pm, tomorrow.
nothing significant about that time, just want to make a decision. Leaning towards.....
Eve for me. Fits me well, I like the colors and it is light and climbs well. Cervelo BB issues have left a foul taste in my mouth and I hesitate to spend so much on a bike with such small seat stays. Cervelos are beautiful though.
holy crap that's a good sale on the Evo!!

I do today what you don't , so I can do tomorrow what you can't
"Absolutely imbecilic. But typical." ..... pcad
EVO, because I currently ride a standard SuperSix (and love it) and it would be the logical upgrade.
EVO, but you can't go wrong either way out of those two.
Assuming that the geometry are the same, I'd take a Cervelo because it's not a Trek, Specialized or Cannondale.
Although from where I'm at these are the 4 common brands I see around.
R5 all the way, but as an R3 owner, I'm kinda biased. When test riding, I found the slightly more relaxed geometry of the R series more comfortable than the Supersix, without any noticeable loss in performance.
Cars man, whyyyyyy?!?!?!?!
I would take the SS EVO because the geometry suites me quite well. They're both fine frames.

down in their places and shouting at the tops of their voices in an effort
to drown the maddening bleating voice that came from the screen. The little
sandy-haired woman had turned bright pink, and her mouth was opening and
shutting like that of a landed fish. Even O'Brien's heavy face was flushed.
He was sitting very straight in his chair, his powerful chest swelling and
quivering as though he were standing up to the assault of a wave. The
dark-haired girl behind Winston had begun crying out 'Swine! Swine! Swine!'
and suddenly she picked up a heavy Newspeak dictionary and flung it at the
screen. It struck Goldstein's nose and bounced off; the voice continued
inexorably. In a lucid moment Winston found that he was shouting with the
others and kicking his heel violently against the rung of his chair. The
expert advice and opinion--he said nothing.
Sometimes the janitor graciously allowed Ben to attend to the
furnace of the building in which he lived. He took out ashes,
shoveled coal. He tinkered and rattled and shook things. You
heard him shoveling and scraping down there, and smelled the
acrid odor of his pipe. It gave him something to do. He would
emerge sooty and almost happy.
"You been monkeying with that furnace again!" Bella would
scold. "If you want something to do, why don't you plant a
garden in the back yard and grow something? You was crazy about
it on the farm."
meditates; the Righteous acts; but he who stands upon the borders of
the Divine World prays; and his prayer is word, thought, action, in
one! Yes, prayer includes all, contains all; it completes nature, for
it reveals to you the mind within it and its progression. White and
shining virgin of all human virtues, ark of the covenant between earth
and heaven, tender and strong companion partaking of the lion and of
the lamb, Prayer! Prayer will give you the key of heaven! Bold and
pure as innocence, strong, like all that is single and simple, this
glorious, invincible Queen rests, nevertheless, on the material world;
she takes possession of it; like the sun, she clasps it in a circle of
light. The universe belongs to him who wills, who knows, who prays;

Rahm Emanuel
Read selections from the Tribune's ongoing coverage of Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
As the Chicago City Council prepares to approve his latest budget Wednesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel repeatedly has reminded voters that he didn't raise city property taxes during his first four years in office.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel launched his re-election bid with a new campaign website Tuesday and will start airing his first TV ad Wednesday, all before either of his two major challengers have even filed paperwork to get on the Feb. 24 ballot.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday that it's too late to try to recoup any of the money from burdensome interest payments that Chicago Public Schools made after issuing risky auction-rate bonds.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday offered a monologue about balancing the needs of work and family, after several aldermen warned incoming city treasurer Kurt Summers Jr. about the family sacrifices he would make as a public official.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday defended a Chicago Transit Authority plan to randomly screen baggage for explosives at some train stations, saying the checks make sense out of an "abundance of caution."
Mayor Rahm Emanuel picked investment executive and former Cook County official Kurt Summers Jr. to be the new city treasurer Wednesday, saying it's important to quickly get the right person in place to manage municipal investments rather than waiting for voters to fill the job at the February...
Nearly four months before voters will decide whether he gets a second term, Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday night began to detail what his re-election campaign will look like.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel widened his financial advantage over challengers in the upcoming mayoral election, reporting more than $1.1 million in contributions to his political organization in the latest state campaign finance report.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday said he's not ruling out refunds on 77,000 tickets drivers got after his administration quietly lowered the city's three-second yellow light standard earlier this year.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday gave his own take on his first-term accomplishments while presenting his 2015 budget proposal to the City Council, a speech that was as much a re-election pitch as a plan to manage the city's tricky finances.
