Last update 11:56:33 AM
One hundred British MPs have urged the UK government to take a firm stance with Iran during the nuclear negotiations because the regime is plotting to 'deceive the West'.
The cross-party panel of lawmakers launched their Early Day Motion ahead of the crucial negotiations in Vienna which aim to halt Iran's ambitions to build a nuclear bomb.The MPs warned that the regime is engaging in 'deceptive tactics' to preserve their ability to obtain nuclear weapons and said that the International Atomic Energy Agency had stated recently that Iran has failed to address concerns about suspected nuclear weapons research.
NCRI – The Iranian regime henchmen lashed four men for "mischief" on Saturday in public in a southern city.
The commander of the State Security Forces (police) in the city of Charam was quoted by a local website as saying: "The four individuals were each sentenced to 74 lashes for the destruction of public property, thievery and using drugs."
It will be impossible for the 5+1 countries and the Iranian regime to reach a comprehensive agreement over Tehran's nuclear issue by the Nov. 24 deadline, state-run news agency IRNA reported on Sunday.
The report quoted an unnamed member of the Iranian regime's negotiating team as saying: "Considering the short time left until the deadline and number of issues that needed to be discussed and resolved, it is impossible to reach a final and comprehensive deal by Nov. 24."
NCRI - Over two dozen Iranian Kurdish political prisoners incarcerated in a prison in the western city of Orumieh have staged a hunger strike since Thursday to protest against the transfer of non-political prisoners to their ward.
The transfer of prisoners that often include gangs affiliated to the regime, to Ward 12 of the prison is aimed at intensifying pressure and psychologically torturing the political prisoners.
NCRI - The Iranian regime's State Security Forces (police) have shut down at least 26 cafés in Tehran during the past week for "failure to comply with certain regulations" which include "improper dressing by costumers and smoking cigarettes".
The owner of one café that opened seven years ago in Tehran told a local daily: "Last Tuesday the agents came to our café and shut down our location. Although in the past we had received only notices regarding some regulations, this time they told us the premise must be shut down."
A group of Iranians held a protest near the Palais Coburg in Vienna where closed-door nuclear talks between the 5+1 countries and the Iranian regime are taking place.
The demonstrators carried a long banner reading: "No compromise on violations of human rights in Iran for the sake of nuclear talks with the mullahs."
The Iranian regime has not halted its military nuclear program, even as nuclear negotiations with the West continue in Vienna, intelligence from inside the regime can confirm.
The revelation was made by Mohammad Mohaddessin, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), at an International Justice Committee press conference in Brussels on November 20.
The Iranian regime must suspend its enrichment of uranium and heavy water production, and abide by its obligations to the United Nations and treaty agreements before any nuclear deal with the West can be struck, Canadian MP Irwin Cotler has declared.
The regime must also agree to inform the international community about its past proliferation activities and co-operate fully with IAEA inspectors during the crucial talks in Vienna, Mr Cotler said.
The United States faces a 'broader array of threats from a greater variety of terrorist groups than at any point since 9/11', the nation's acting director at the National Counter-terrorism Center has warned.
Nicholas Rasmussen told Senate Select Intelligence Committee on Thursday that 13 years ago, al Qaeda was regarded as the top threat to the US, but now the danger also included 'lone wolves'," the Islamic State and terrorists sponsored by the Iranian regime.
NCRI - Critically ill political prisoner, Ali Moezzi, has been transferred to solitary confinement and his family has been told by authorities in Tehran's infamous Evin Prison that no communication is allowed with him.
Mr. Ali Moezzi, who has just a few months of his sentence remaining and is about to be released, was recently transferred from Gohardasht Prison in Karaj to Tehran's Evin Prison and where he was put under heinous pressures.

While the idiots that think you can negotiate with evil people are all surprised that the Iranian Mullahs have decided to thumb their efforts. I have to admit that I expected nothing else.

I just recently had several discussions in the last week or so, with different people at different times, about energy and economic impacts of that energy's availability and cost.

Benghazi Eternal
Like an illegal alien, I have decided to "step out of the shadows" and lay down a quick post. The reason why is that I've noticed quite a bit of crowing today about the House Intelligence Benghazi report from some of my friends.

The Amnesty that Dare Not Speak Its Name
So Obama gave his big speech last night about immigration. The big change is he will extend temporary legal status to about 4-5 million illegal immigrants. To qualify, they will have to have been here five years, have US citizen relatives and have not broken the law (I mean, other than the ones they broke getting here). There is no path to legal status, a green card or citizenship (at least, not yet). And, of … Read more

The Obama administration included as many as 400,000 dental plans in a number it reported for enrollments under the Affordable Care Act, an unpublicized detail that helped surpass a goal for 7 million sign-ups.
Without the dental plans, the federal government would have had 6.97 million people with medical insurance under the law known as Obamacare, investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform committee calculated, using data they obtained from the U.S.
A Few Quick Thoughts on Keystone XL
Last night, the Senate defeated an effort to push through the Keystone XL pipeline project. This was ostensibly an effort to save Mary Landrieu's seat in Louisiana. But I doubt passage would saved her.

Football: CBS to Feature Henry on NFL Today Show
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Former Mountaineer wide receiver Chris Henry's lasting legacy will be featured in a CBS Sports broadcast focused on the LifeShare of the Carolinas Medical Center on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, during "NFL Today." The segment is expected to air between noon and 12:30 p.m.
The story recalls the fatal accident that took the life of Henry in Charlotte last November, the difficult discussion his mother, Carolyn Glaspy of Cincinnati, had to make regarding the donation of his organs and the renewed life the four organ recipients received.
Henry, a 2004 first team all-BIG EAST honoree, is tied with Darius Reynaud for WVU's single-season touchdown reception record (12). He is also second in WVU career touchdown receptions (22) and eighth in career yardage (1,878).
Drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Henry had 19 receptions in 2008, his last full season in the league, for 220 yards and two touchdowns.

Product description
Roy (international studies, Bunkyo U., Japan) explores the Western desire to ground oneself or make oneself feel more real, arising from a self-conscious ungroundedness which we experience as a sense of lack . Using a contemporary Buddhist perspective, the author discusses ways that our understanding of this sense of lack has changed at important points in history, and the largely unconscious ways in which we have tried to resolve our lack. Issues covered include freedom, progress, delusive craving (for fame, romantic love, money), modernity, civil society, the "means/end problem in modern life," and the modern economic system. Earlier drafts of some of the chapters have been previously published in academic journals and books. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review quote
"A polymath's tour through intellectual and social history, David Loy's Buddhist retelling goes far in revealing the historically conditioned limitations of many dominant Western terms, metaphors, and assumptions. By reinterpreting greed, ill will, and delusion as structural rather than personal problems, Loy offers a compassionate account of ways that we make ourselves unhappy and a trenchant critique of market capitalism's manipulation of these habits of mind."

- Not so happy anniversary dinnerDisappointedDined on 11/15/2014We were seated at 7, and were not served our entrées until 8:15. When the food finally came it was under cooked.
- Always delicious!MareZee929Dined on 11/14/2014We had another perfect dinner here. Scallops are the best, but everything is good. It's nice that they let you split a salad - Asparagus with gorgonzola is fantastic, and a half is a perfect size with dinner. If you haven't been there in a while, they've opened a front room, which is much quieter and more roomy than what is the "main" dining room. I would suggest you request the front room if possible, much easier to talk and the fireplace adds great atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a Wow-erEnjoygoodfoodDined on 11/9/2014We sat in the front room which was small and more modern looking. The fireplace frontage looked like it was still a work in progress. Maybe the rest of the restaurant was fancier. Our waiter was wonderful!! - very knowledgeable, helpful, nice, accommodating. The shrimp bisque wasn't noteworthy or worth the price - it was VERY basic, almost like out of a can, with 3 small "out of the bag looking" shrimp in it that could've used cooked a little more. I had the scallops - they were good but could've used cooked a little more as well. Overall it's an okay place but I'm not sure I'll go out of my way to go there again or worth the prices. My friend had the chicken w/ crab meat - that looked very good and plentiful, so try that one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- decor needs changedDanaDined on 11/8/2014We chose to eat in the bar (which we really like) because the décor in the main dining rooms reminds me of a funeral home. It is cold and not at all warm and inviting. I suggest it be re-done. I know a lot of other people think this as well.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our Go-ToDanaVIPDined on 11/4/2014This is the place we go when we want a quiet, good meal and a good bottle of wine. We love 1/2 price wine on Tuesdays and the new smaller room is perfect! The food and service was excellent, as well.Special Features:
- Consistently very good!DinrDivaVIPDined on 11/3/2014Love Andoras on Mt. Nebo Road, this one has an updated feel and the food is every bit as good.Special Features:
- Great Crabcakeskaren60Dined on 10/31/2014This is the first time, I went to the Cranberry location. There were only 3 in my party and it was Halloween. The menu was great. We had a hard time deciding on what to order, but from past rumors I heard the crabcakes were awesome. They were indeed very good. A lot of crab not a lot of filler. My brother had pappardelle pasta and also found it to be excellent. The restaurant was beautiful and the bar looked nice also. I will definitely go back! Nice touch for the neighborhood!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SatchieDined on 10/26/2014Great food & service, very nice décor, very quiet (on a Sunday)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for lunchPghHLTDined on 10/16/2014Lunch prices are very reasonable which stands in contrast with dinner prices. Come for lunch!Special Features:
- Lovely TimegermantimeVIPDined on 10/13/20145 of us met and just had a lovely meal and experience
- Just okPghDinerDined on 10/12/2014Despite the great decour and wonderful menu select lack-luster made this special event just ordinary in experience. We were the only family in this section of the restaurant but our waitress seemed tired and bored with her job! She did little to make dinner and experience to remember. For the price tag it was just okay.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special treatPghDinerDined on 10/6/2014I always enjoy dining when the out door seating is a available. Now I realize that indoor dining at Andora's also provides a special -- more elegant -- treat! Food and service were amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Atmosphere missing... for the pricecherDined on 10/3/2014Went to Andora for date night. We made reservations 2 days ahead hoping we would get a better table. We were seated in the corner at a 2 person table. The table next to us was in arms reach. As you might imagine that also meant there was no such thing as private conversation. Our table was so small! In fact when the waitress brought our bread we had to remove the wine list from table to accomodate the additional plates. The table at best was barely wide enough for your dinner plate and silverware. The noise level was also very loud! Hard to even hear each others conversation. When we received our food it was very good but on the pricey side. When I put out that kind of money I expect atmosphere as well. Our service was fair.Special Features:
- Great meal and serviceretirednukeDined on 9/18/2014We went to this Andora for our 38th wedding anniversary because we had previously had a wonderful experience in the party room for my 60th birthday party. We had filet mignon and crabcakes, and both were prepared to perfection. Our server, Sean, was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Always delicious!Melissalynn3Dined on 9/12/2014Andora is one of our favorites. Though the Adams Ridge location lacks the ambiance of the Mt Nebo location, the food is equally delicious! The lamb was perfectly prepared and the seven pepper risotto was amazing ( the chef did a great job of adding extra spice at my request). The wine list meets every expectation and the desserts are sure to please!Special Features:
- Lovely birthday dinnerdinerpgh34Dined on 8/29/2014We went for my birthday dinner and had requested a table outside, which we received. It was a very nice night out, and it was not noisy on the patio, which we appreciated. Our server was very friendly and gave spoton recommendations. The food was excellent and we will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Do not remember our waitress name but she was great. We were there Saturday night with a group of six. We sat outside. Food was excellent, waitress was very good, friendly. We will come back to Andora again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/17/2014We had the best waitress I can remember in a long time. The menu is the same as the other locations which is fine. It would be great if they had fresh finds, but the pricing is moderate and the wine list is for 30 under $30.00.... .Special Features:
- Love the patio area.LouiseDined on 8/9/2014We have eaten at Andoras before, at two locations. As usual, the crab cakes were wonderful. I also tried the shrimp bruschetta and loved it. This was the first time we had eaten on the patio. It is lovely out there. The main dining room always had a cafeteria feel to it, so we appreciated the new ambiance.Special Features:
- Yum!DaisynHopeDined on 8/9/2014Really really great food, service was low-key but prompt. Portion sizes led to take home for lunch the next day.Special Features:
- batmanVIPDined on 8/8/2014The zucchini appetizer was absolutely scrumptcious. The food portions were large and cooked as ordered and the waite staff was there for all of our needs. This is a place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and service!EllenDined on 8/7/2014We really enjoyed our dinner at Andora's. The salads were fresh and crisp. The steaks, pasta and fish entrees were a hit. Side dishes of rice and vegetables are very small but adequate. The only complaint was the crab cakes which normally are perfect were dry but we asked for more sauce and that did the trick. Dining on the patio is a treat and you would never guess there is a parking lot nearby. The wine list could use a little updating with more by the glass favorites such as Kendall Jackson. Overall though this restaurant is a nice addition to Adams Township.Special Features:
- Impeccable serviceKikiCDined on 8/2/2014My husband and I went to Andoras for date night this last weekend. It had just stopped raining so we assumed that the outdoor seating would be closed. Much to our surprise, not only was the Manager more than willing to seat us outside, he walked us out to ask what fountain we would like to sit close to and had a table dried off for us. It was the perfectly romantic setting for our date night. And our server couldn't have been more accommodating! Food was fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business lunchHerbieDined on 8/1/2014Very good choice for business lunch. Our guests were pleased with their food selection. Good all around experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 112 reviews are from the Andora Cranberry reviews archive.
- Good Food, Not So Good ServiceDebiDined on 7/26/2014Three couples went to Andora Cranberry last night. It was crowded, which is a good sign. We all had a very good meal. The calamari appetizer, roasted beet salad and seafood pasta that I tasted were terrific. The service was VERY slow, there was a half hour between ordering and getting our appetizer, another half hour for the salads and another half hour for the entree. Pretty terrible actually. And our waitress was very surly. We asked for cheese for some the the pasta dishes, she never brought it so we asked someone else to remind her, and by the time she did show up with the cheese grater the meals were near finished.
- Good food but not popular yetLaurenDined on 7/25/2014My dinner companions and I enjoyed our meal as well as our outdoor dining experience. The restaurant was quite dead though; the bar was empty by 9:30 and the restaurant closed by 10. Our waitress was eager to leave and we felt rushed towards the end of our meal. The restaurant has potential, especially with the nice outdoor area. However, it could use more marketing and attentive waitstaff to keep customers interested in returning. I may return - just hope it says in business long enough to do so.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KAthyDined on 7/22/2014Crab was outstanding. Outdoor dining was shaded and very soothing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Patio PerfectOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014Had dinner with friends on the patio, food was delicious and service was great. The evening outdoors on the patio was perfect.Special Features:
- Really wanted to like restaurantAnnaMaeDined on 7/13/2014In a sea of national chain restaurants, Andora stands out as one of few locally owned ones. I'd heard good things and was looking forward to finding an upscale dining spot. Unfortunately we were disappointed by how downscale it is. Everyone was seated in one dining room with tables are very close. Once another couple was seated next to us, we felt uncomfortable continuing our conversation. Spouse's scallop dish was well prepared but somewhat small for the price. My pasta dish was way overpriced. Two very thin, breaded slices of eggplant over pasta with just a dollop of sauce. Parents at a near-by table let their child to pound on the table with a fork and spoon. Bottom line, a white table cloth does not an upscale restaurant make.
- Fresh FoodQwertyDined on 7/13/2014The food was very good and the visit was enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/11/2014Wonderful wait staff, lovely ambience. I'm quite the foodie and the dinner was fantastic, although if your going to spend $30+ On a meal, more bread should be brought out and the salad should be included..... Other than price point it was great. I asked online for a quiet table, they were even nice enough to call me personally and verify where I'd like to sit which was appreciated :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We love AndoraDanaVIPDined on 7/11/2014We go often and are never disappointed. The accommodate my allergies graciously. The wine list is good for special occasions, but the $30 a bottle list has some good options too. And we have never had a bad meal-fresh delicious food!Special Features:
- Music too loudgermantimeVIPDined on 7/10/2014The music was nice but so loud you could not talk even though we were far away. We left and had dessert somewhere else quieter. It's not enjoyable to be blasted. Will eat lunch there but not dinner as I want to at least have the ability to talk
- Family Get TogetherOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/3/2014We were looking for a place to enjoy with our kids, the oldest who lives in Dallas, and connect with each other. We ate outside and had a incredible experience. While each of the kids has totally different taste in food, Andora was able to provide the perfect balance with the unbelievable food, wonderful wines and drinks, and all with service that was always present but never in the way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!ItalianMommaDined on 6/28/2014We dined at Andora for the first time Saturday evening with another couple. It was not busy, so we did not have to wait for a table (we had reservations anyway). The food was delicious!! Great variety - everybody loved what they had.

Lily Allen: Naked on Instagram!by Tyler Johnson at . Updated at . Comments
Singer Lily Allen usually doesn't engage in the sort of attention-seeking behavior that we expect from pop stars, but a photo Lily posted to Instagram over the weekend is certainly getting plenty of notice.
From the looks of the photo, it seems Lily was just having some fun in the dressing room and not trying to be provocative, still the Internet and nudity are two great tastes that taste great together, and the photo has been widely circulated in the last few days.
While she appears to be wearing just underwear and a pair of heels, Lily has strategically covered anything that might get her flagged, much in the same way those Selena Gomez naked shots didn't actually reveal any parts of the singer we hadn't already seen.
Very clever, ladies.
Naturally, parents and conservative religious groups are up in arms over the photo and have been quite vocal about their feelings in online message boards.
"It's obscene! Kids use Instagram and they do not want to see that!" wrote one parent who apparently has little understanding of why young people use the Internet. Some parents even went so far as to liken the photo to the James Franco-Lucy Clode scandal.
Man, if these people are this upset over a tasteful Instagram post, someone better tell them to stay off Tumblr. That site is like the New Orleans of the Internet.
There is no where to put comments for your next article about the Disney Princesses and who should play them. Frieda Pinto from India actually is kind of like already in the movie Malificent, as Angelina Jolie has picked out a girl from India to play her when she was a younger Malificent. Apparently you guys werent aware of that. I guess Frieda Pinto's career kind of dived after all the stories about all the women getting raped in India hit the papers. Kind of made everyone sick of all the sickos and who in the hell wants to go there, unless they are kidnapped by a Taliban witch and forced to go to India. Ha Ha.

I think these are the sweetest spooks ever! You've really come up with some darling gouls for us to loom knit, Jenny! Spooktacular job!!! :D
Hashtag Hat
Have some fun and hashtag you! Great project for beginners using 2 stitch variations. It is sized for youth with an option for an adult.
Loom: All-n-One Loom, set up for double knit
Yarn: Patons Shetland Chunky, 25% Wool and 75% Acrylic, 148 yds per skein
Colors used: #78209 Soft Teal (1 skein) and #78042 Charcoal (1/2 skein)
Stitches: Stockinette and Rib
Notions Needed: Knit Hook, crochet hook, measure tape, scissors, darning needle
Finished Size: Youth=20" and Adult=23-24" head circumference, aprox 9" high from brim to pompom
Gauge: 5 stitches and 10 rows= (2) inches in stockinette
Special Note: Using the full width of this loom makes a youth/small size hat. To knit a larger hat as in our sample, we have added a small back panel to increase the width. Using a larger loom ie the 28" loom will result in larger gauge and larger stitches which will change the shape slightly of the 'hashtag'.
Hat Front with 'hashtag':
Cast On all pegs or 48 stitches in Rib Stitch using Teal Yarn. Lay anchor yarn of contrast color yarn.
Work (2) rows in Rib stitch.
Tie on color 2 Charcoal at 2nd peg. Do not cut the Teal yarn.
Work (1) row in Rib stitch with Charcoal yarn. Cut and knot.
Work (1) additional row in Rib with Teal yarn.
Change to stockinette and work (2) rows.
Hints: Mark the center of the loom with a stitch marker or pin. Next row will be row 1 of the bottom of 'hashtag'. Whenever you are working the Charcoal for just the 2 stitches of each upright, weave the 2 consecutive pegs front to back and move over to 2nd upright and weave the 2 consecutive pegs front to back. Then, weave the Teal yarn in Stockinette weave skipping the upright pegs. When, you are working the long rows of charcoal, weave the stitches in stockinette, and then weave the Teal yarn in Stockinette weave skipping the charcoal stitches. Notice in your graph that the uprights will shift over by (1) stitch to give the design an angled look.
Go to center of loom, count back (4) stitches and tie on the Charcoal yarn. Work the (4) upright stitches. Note that there will be 3 pegs skipped in center of them. Lay the charcoal yarn down where you end. It doesn't matter which direction you do the front to back for the 2 uprights. Weave the row with the Teal yarn and hook over. The 'hashtag' design consists of a total of (15) rows. Once complete, you can cut and knot the Charcoal yarn. Hat will be completed in Teal Yarn.
Work (7) additional rows in Stockinette.
Change to Rib stitch. Work total of (14) Rib rows to top of hat.
Work Decrease row on row #6 and row #10.
Decrease Row explained: decreasing some stitches at top part of the hat will add some shape to the head and keep the top of the hat from being too 'bunchy' or bulky. So, we will do a decrease to 2 stitches on each side of the design. That will take out a total of 4 stitches on each decrease row and make the top of hat fit much better. Before doing the weaving and hook- over, go to stitch #8 from left side. Lift the stitch and place it on peg #9. Go to stitch #12 from left side. Lift the stitch and place it on peg #13. Now you have 2 empty pegs. Go to right side of loom and count over to peg #8 and place this stitch on adjacent peg to left. Count over to peg #12 and place this stitch on adjacent peg to left. Do this to both sides of the board directly across from each other. You now have (4) empty pegs on each board. Carefully, lift the stitches and move towards the center of loom. You want the empties to be at ends of loom. Now, weave and hook over the row carefully lifting all loops on each peg so that only the one loop remains on the pegs. Continue working in Rib stitch.
Repeat this decrease process on row #10. Complete the hat with Rib stitch.
Removing the hat from loom: Since we are at the top of the hat, we want to create another anchor yarn to gather the top of hat. Do not bind off. Instead, cut and knot the working yarn. Cut another piece of the working yarn about 24" long and thread onto the darning needle. Pick up the stitches working from one board to the other and allow the stitches to come off the loom onto the yarn.
Small – youth size finishing: Sew the back seam using invisible stitch with matching yarn, Teal. Bind off the brim edge stitches. Gather the top of hat by pulling the yarn securely and tying a secure knot. Hat is ready for a fun pompom.
Large adult. In order to add more width to back of hat, we knit a matching piece that will be seamed into the side edges of the hat front.
Cast On 10 stitches in Rib stitch. (More if you want a larger than large hat) Our 10 sts will add 4" to the size of the hat. Work this small piece just as you did the hat front only no design is needed and no decreases are needed. Do work the matching stripe on row 3 to match the front of hat.
Once complete and free of the loom, seam to the hat front using invisible stitch on both sides connecting the 2 pieces into one round hat. If you use the invisible stitch for the seaming, the seams will not show. Just be sure to match the Charcoal stripe exactly. Now, gather each section with the anchor yarns at top of hat. Tie the yarn securely.
Now you can bind off in one continuous yarn at brim. Either size, you are ready for the pompom. We have used both yarns for the pompom in the sample, but you can choose to make it all one color, if desired. Wrap the yarns around a box or anything that will give you approximately 5" long strands. Wrap 20-30 wraps; tie in center very securely. Cut the loops and shake the pompom loose. Use the yarn tie of the pompom to secure to top of hat. To finish the hat, use the crochet hook to tuck in any yarn tails that remain from the seaming and knotting. Shape the pompom as short or as shaggy as desired. In our sample, we trimmed it up a bit, but left it fairly long.
For a complete look, make a matching Hashtag Scarf. Very cute!

Whimsical Loom Knits – October 2014
Happy October! In my little corner of the world, the air has grown chilly, darkness comes earlier, and there are Halloween decorations popping up everywhere. I thought it would be fun to make a few little 'spooks' for this month's Whimsical Loom Knit project. I hope you have tons of fun with this pattern.
Mini Monsters!
If you go out on Halloween night,
You'd better not go alone!
It's creepy out there on Halloween night,
But spookier still at home!
For every little monster that ever was
Will prank and haunt you tonight, because
This is the night to knit up a scary delight!
Knitting Loom: KB Sock Loom 2
Yarn: Approximately 15-20 yards of a basic worsted weight yarn. Red Heart Super Saver was used in the samples.
Notions: Knitting tool, scissors, yarn needle, fiberfill for stuffing
Suggested Embellishments:
Eyes: Tiny buttons (6mm), google eyes, fabric paint, yarn, thread, etc.
Mouth: Yarn, thread, fabric paint, etc.
Hair: Yarn, felt, etc.
Finished Size: Approximately 5" in height
Gauge: Not essential for this project.
Special Techniques
Drawstring Cast-On: Step 1: Pass the working yarn in front of peg 1. Pass the working yarn behind peg 2. Pass the working yarn in front of peg 3. Pass the working yarn behind peg 4. Continue weaving the working yarn in front of and behind the pegs until the working yarn reaches peg 1 again.
Step 2: Lay the working yarn against peg 1, above the wrap from step 1. Knit the lower wrap over the top wrap. Pass the working yarn in front of peg 2. Lay the working yarn against peg 3, above the wrap from step 1. Knit the lower wrap over the top wrap. Pass the working yarn in front of peg 4. Continue working in this manner until the working yarn reaches peg 1 again. Cast on is now complete. Continue on as directed in the pattern.
Adding a Gathering Thread: Cut a 12" length of yarn and thread it on to the yarn needle. Push the yarn needle up under the stitch on peg 1. Pull the length of yarn out through the stitch, stopping when an inch or two remains at the bottom of the stitch. Move to the next peg and pull the yarn needle up under the stitch. Pull the length of yarn until all of the slack is gone between the two pegs. Continue working in this manner until the gathering line has been pulled up under the last stitch in the round. Remove the yarn needle. Leave the gathering line in place. It will be used later to shape the monster's neck. Continue on as directed in the pattern.
3 Stitch I-Cord: Using the double E-wrap cast-on method, cast on 3 stitches. *Working yarn will be at peg 3. Take the working yarn behind peg 2 and peg 1. Bring the working yarn around the front of peg 1 and lay it across pegs 1, 2, and 3. Knit peg 2, then peg 1, then peg 3. Repeat from * as directed in pattern, or until I-cord reaches the desired length. Gently pull on the cord every few inches to help set the stitches.
Bind the I-cord off by moving the stitch on the second peg over to the first peg, placing it above the stitch on the peg. Knit the bottom stich over the top stitch. Move the stitch from peg 3 over to peg 1, placing it above the stitch on the peg. Knit the bottom stitch over the top stitch. With the working yarn, wrap peg 1 and knit it. Cut the working yarn, leaving a yarn tail measuring about 4". Draw the working yarn out through the last stitch remaining on peg 1, and gently pull on the yarn tail to secure the bind off. Weave in all yarn ends.
Head and Body:
Prepare the loom to work over 18 pegs, in the round. Choose a yarn color for the head. Using the drawstring cast-on method, cast on 18 stitches. Work 10 rows using the u-wrap knit stitch.
Add a gathering thread. (See special techniques)
If desired, switch to a new color for the body. Work 15 more rows using the u-wrap knit stitch. Remove from the loom using the gathered bind off method, but do not gather yet. Set aside.
Limbs (Make 4, or more):
Using the same color that the body was worked in, cast on 3 pegs. Work a 3 stitch I-cord for 6 rows. Switch to chosen head color, if desired. Work 3 stitch I-cord for 4 more rows. Bind off and set aside. Repeat this process for the remaining limbs.
Work with the head and body piece first. Gather the top of the head closed by pulling on the yarn tail from the drawstring cast-on. Use the yarn needle to weave the tail in.
Stuff the head section with fiberfill. Gather the neck area by pulling on the yarn tails of the gathering thread. Secure the neck shaping by tying a knot in the gathering thread. Use the yarn needle to weave in the ends of the gathering thread.
Stuff the body section with fiberfill. Gather the body closed by pulling on the yarn tail from the gathered bind off. Use the yarn needle to weave the tail in.
Use the yarn needle to sew the limbs to the body. Attach the arms near the neckline; attach the legs at the bottom of the body. Weave in any remaining yarn tails.
Now for the best part – embellishing! Give your monster(s) hair. Or horns. Eye(s). Mouth. Fangs. Scars. Whatever your imagination can scare up. Only, maybe avoid giving them a laboratory brain marked A B Normal…
Tip: Each monster is knit as directed in the pattern. Different looks can be achieved by varying the colors and types of fibers used while knitting, as well as using a variety of embellishments. Let your creativity run wild!

Breast Cancer Awareness Wristers
A simple pair of wristers to demonstrate your support for the cause. The ribbon is formed by creating an icord and then sewing it to the completed wristers. Exclude the ribbon and you have a regular pair of wristers.
Pattern Information
Knitting loom: Adjustable Hat loom, 44 pegs. Pattern can also be done on the All-n-One loom.
Yarn: Approx 120 yards of worsted weight wool. Cascade 220 in Tutu was used in sample (less than 1 skein). Approx 5-8 yds of contrasting pink color.
Notions: knitting tool, tapestry needle.
Other: Elasticized ribbon (to pass through the eyelets). Sample used 5/8" Fold Over Elastic by Dritz-1 yd package.
Gauge: 11 sts x 17 rows= 2 inches in stockinette
K=knit stitch (not u-stitch, not flat stitch).
P=purl stitch
K2tog=knit two stitches together. Move stitch from peg 1 to 2. Knit peg 2. Move loop from peg 2 over to peg 1.
YO=Yarn over. Ewrap the peg. On the row after the ewrap, undo the ewrap, place the yarn ladder in front of the peg, then work the peg.
Pattern notes: Worked as a flat panel then seamed at the side.
Leave a 20 inch beginning yarn tail, cast on 44 sts, prepare to work a flat panel.
Row 1, 3, 5: k to end of row.
Row 2, 4, 6: p to the end of row.
Next 14 rows: k to the end of row.
Next row: *k2, p2; rep from * to the end of row.
Next row: *p2, k2; rep from * to the end of row.
Rep last two rows: 1 more time.
Next row (eyelet row): *k2tog, yo; rep from * to the end of row.

Next row: k to the end of row.
Rep last row 24 more times.
Next row: *k2tog, yo; rep from * to the end of row.
Next 3 rows: k to the end of row.
Bind off with basic bind off method. Leave a long tail for seaming purposes.
Small Breast Cancer Ribbon
Using the contrasting color pink, cast on 2 stitches.
Using the figure 8 method, create an icord that is approximately 16 rows long.
Bind off leaving a long tail.
Thread long tail through tapestry needle, fold the i-cord ribbon in half and use the long tail to secure it in this folded position. Using the yarn tail, sew the ribbon to the top side area of the wrister.
Fold over at the top, along the eyelets for the area by the fingers. Thread tapestry needle with the yarn tail coming from the bind off edge. Sew the small flap in place—see pictures for guidance on how to complete this objective. When the fold is completely sewn, use the thread to mattress stitch along the top side, approximately one-inch along the side. Weave ends in.
Thread tapestry needle with yarn coming from the cast on edge, mattress stitch along the side, stopping approximately one-inch away from the top seam—you should have about a one-inch opening for the thumb.
Pass the elasticized ribbon through the eyelets along the wrist, make a small bow. Sew the bow, do not sew the bow to the knitted fabric, so the bow does not come undone.
Seaming the top
Top section seamed.
Mattress stitch along side .

Stitchology II
Puff Stitch
Happy Autumn! This is my absolute favorite time of year. I simply can't get enough of it! I am thrilled by simple things like hay mazes, big orange pumpkins in a field, chilly mornings, and candy corn. It's a season that is full of reasons to celebrate…of course it makes it all the better that my birthday is also in October, lol. ;)
In this monthly column we're going to be working on some exciting new stitch patterns, as well as a few new techniques thrown in for good measure. My intention for our yarn play is to provide all the know-how for you to be able to work the new stitch; any charts, photos, or videos you may need; as well as a pattern to create an 8" x 8" square. As we go along in our looming journey, we should be able to create lovely pieced afghans with our squares, as I like to know that we're going somewhere while swatching, don't you? You can think of it as our Stitch Sample Afghan—a stitch dictionary right at your fingertips, keeping your legs warm, lol. ;)
This month we're going to celebrate the Fall Season by introducing the Puff Stitch, which greatly resembles pumpkins in a field, all connected by trailing vines. Of course, this stitch will be terrific during all other times of the year, as well. It employs a really marvelous way to create elongated knit stitches on our looms, which result in all those lovely little puffs.
Puff Stitch Square
Items Needed
Loom: Authentic Knitting Board Adjustable Hat Loom: 2 rounded pieces + 3 peg connectors, with pegs in all holes for a 3/8" gauge. The Sock Loom 2 or the All-n-One Loom could also be used.
Yarn: approx. 75 yards Worsted Weight (Sample uses Lion Wool in Pumpkin)
Notions: Loom tool, yarn needle, scissors. (Also helpful: peg markers, row counter)
Pattern Notes:
This stitch pattern would apply itself very nicely to a cozy hat, or a baby blanket. To work this pattern in the round for a hat, use the Repeating Pattern Rows chart, and make sure to read it from right to left for each row, rather than alternating sides each time. Also, cast onto your loom in a clockwise direction, using a number of pegs that is divisible by 10—the number of stitches required for each pattern repeat.
For flat pieces of a greater size, begin with the Set Up Rows, then simply increase the number of Repeating Pattern Rows for the length and width required, then complete with the Finishing Rows.
When the pattern uses the term "knit" or "k", please use the true knit stitch or the u-stitch, not the e-wrap.
The elongated knit stitch, notated in the pattern as k², is created using the following method (the row numbers are as you would find the steps in the Puff Stitch Square pattern further below):
*to see a photo enlarged, just click to open, then click to open again.
Here is the entire pattern chart for the 8" x 8" square:
Everything you need to know about knitting your square is included in the above chart. Believe it or not, you can actually create your square without looking at another thing! For help with reading charts, please see the Stitchology I post for a detailed explanation, and you'll be ready to go!
But, don't worry…I am also providing you with the step by step instructions below. ;)
Repeating Pattern Rows
Row 1: p6, k²3, p1
Rows 2: k²5, p5
Row 3: p5, k²5
Row 4: k²5, p5
Rows 5: p5, k²5
Row 6: k²5, p5
Rows 7 & 8: p6, k²3, p1
Row 9: k²5, p5

Row 11: k²5, p5
Row 12: p5, k²5
Row 13: k²5, p5
Row 14: p6, k²3, p1
Step by Step Instructions:
Cast onto your loom from left to right, using a total of 32 pegs. (Sample uses Chain Cast On)
Set Up Rows
Repeat the following 2 row pattern 3 times, for a total of 6 rows:
Row a: k32
Row b: p32
Main Pattern Rows
Repeat the following 14 row pattern 3 times, for a total of 42 rows:

Row 13: p1, work Row 13 of repeating pattern to last stitch, p1.
Row 14: p1, work Row 14 of repeating pattern to last stitch, p1.
Finishing Rows
Repeat the following 2 row pattern 3 times, for a total of 6 rows:
Row a: p32
Row b: k32
Bind off all stitches loosely. (Sample uses the Basic Bind Off) Weave in ends and trim close to work.
Block to an 8" x 8" measurement. If you'd like to give your puffs more of a 3D affect, you can carefully place small balls of plastic wrap under each little puff during the pinning process of the blocking. I found that Glad Cling Wrap worked really well for this as it has a bit of stick to it, which helped the balls stay in place.
Afghan Notes:
If you are intending this square to be part of an afghan, you may wish to make up to 3 or 4 additional squares. We will be sharing at least 12 of these patterns for you to use in your blanket. Use the following general measurements to decide how many of each of the 8″ x 8″ squares you will need, rounding up as necessary:
- Baby Blanket: 30″ x 36″
- Children: 42″ x 48″
- Lapghan: 36″ x 48″
- Twin Bed Afghan: 60″ x 85″
- Queen Bed Afghan: 90″ x 95″

i sure hope you will do a video on this.puff stitch square. Personally, I learn better by watching it actually being done.. It's so pretty
I was wondering how you do row 14 on the top of the puff stitch.
Your puff square is fabulous, Bethany! Great work!
Thank you for the great instructions and the pictures were most helpful. It is an easy stitch. I have senior moments so I got extra practice lol. It reminds me of polka dots and I could see this as a scarf with 60′s retro pink, orange, and white. Thanks again.
I would love to see a video on this especially for the elongated knit. Thanks
Thank you for teaching these stitches which I am always looking for something new and different to put together. I am making a hat on the new hat loom unfortunately I am not using all the pegs. I am using the 42 pegs, double strand yard. Can I incorporate this stitch on top of my brim?
Hi Bethany – I will definitely share this on my page, just the pictures of course with links back here to the pattern.
Beautiful. You, my Loomy sister are blessed !
[…] is the second stitch in a series the Knittingboardchat.com blog calls Stitchlogy. I love the look you get with this technique. I can't help but think of […]
can I ask if you are wrapping your knit stitches or if they are flat knitted?
Is there going to be a video on this I have been waiting for one Bethany indicating there might be one in the next few weeks Is there going to be one

Fit for a Princess
As soon as we saw this cute design, we knew that many loom knitters would be interested in trying it out. Carrie Johnson has been kind enough to allow us to share her pattern in blog. We hope you enjoy it. A little bit about Carrie: Carrie is a single mom of four children, ranging in ages of 5-20 yrs old! She lives on a small goat farm out in California. She has been loom knitting for about 3 years and just began to learn to read patterns. She recently started writing down all of her designs, and she has four published patterns so far and more to come! Contact Carrie.
Knitting loom: KB adjustable hat loom
Yarn: approx 30-40 yds of worsted weight yarn.
Notions: knitting tool, tapestry needle, stitch markers,
Other: Stick on jewels to decorate or other decor of choice.
K: Knit (e-wrap)
Pattern note: I used two strands of yarn, since the yarn I used was thin. If using a #3 weight yarn, you might want
to double your strands. A #4 yarn you might use one strand, two strands can be use for a thicker crown. One
strand of #5 can be used as well, even though I haven't made the crown in bulky yet, it should still work!
Set up: Set your loom in the extra small configuration- using 2 connectors and 2 round parts. Place pegs in every
Using your stitch markers divide pegs into 8 sections with 7 pegs in each section.
Ex: pegs 1-7 is one section, pegs 8-14 is another section and so on…
Cast on 56 stitches, join to work in the round.
Rnds 1, 3, 5, 7: k to the end.
Rnds: 2, 4, 6, 8: p to the end.
Points for the Crown
~Each section is worked separately, in rows.
Starting with the first section pegs 1-7:
*Row 1: k to end of section
Row 2: p to end of section*
Decrease as follows: Move loop from peg 1 to peg 2 and loop from peg 7 to peg 6.
Repeat from * to *. (Pegs that have two loops on them, treat both loops as one loop.)
Next: Decrease as follows: move loop from peg 2 to peg 3 and loop from peg 6 to peg 5.
Repeat from * to *. (Pegs that have two loops on them, treat both loops as one loop.)
Next: Decrease as follows: move loop from peg 3 to peg 4 and loop from peg 5 to peg 4.
Next: Knit peg 4. Purl peg 4.
Cut yarn leaving a 6 inch tail: knit peg and pull yarn tail through.
One point done.
To start next point, make a slip knot and add yarn to peg 8 (you'll now be working on pegs 8-14) and repeat
Points for the Crown section. Repeat with each section. 8 points completed at the end of project.
Weave in yarn ends.

Very cute! I don't have a young lady to work one for, but if I did, she would be the proud owner of your very clever crown. Can't wait to see more of your work very ice indeed!!
Sue K.
Cute as can be, Carrie! My little girlie said I need to get her one so she can wear it on her head and pretend to be Princess Peach :)
Thank you so much for sharing this adorable crown. I will be making a one for my granddaughter, plus several for friends granddaughters. They are all Princesses. :)

Sl1-k1-psso: slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over. Over two pegs, working on the knitting loom from a right to left direction—peg 1 is on the right, peg 2 is on the left. Skip peg 1 with yarn behind the peg, knit peg 2. Move loop from peg 2 over to peg 1, lift bottommost loop off peg 1.
Zig Zag Stitch Pattern
Multiple of 6+1
Row 1, 3, 5 (from right to left direction): *sl1-k1-psso, k2, yo, k2; rep from * to last st, k1.
Row 2, 4, 6: k to the end of row.
Row 7, 9, 11: k3, *YO, k2, k2tog, k2; rep from * to last 4 sts, YO, k2, k2tog.
Row 8, 10, 12: k to the end of row.
Pattern note: the shawl pictured is 40 inches in length and used 600 yards of yarn, if you desire a longer shawl, you will need approximately 800 yards of yarn. A special note about yarn—we recommend using a wool base yarn to allow the lace to be blocked..
Cast on 93 sts, prepare to work a flat panel.
Border rows
Row 1: k to the end of row.
Row 2: p to the end of row.
Rep last two rows four more times.
End of border rows, continue to body rows below
Tip: Place a stitch marker on pegs 1-4 and on peg 90-93. Maintain the garter stitch border on the first 4 pegs and last 4 pegs, the pegs with the stitch/peg markers on them.
Row 1: k4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 1, k4.
Row 2: p4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 2, p4.
Row 3: k4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 3, k4.
Row 4: p4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 4, p4.
Row 5: k4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 5, k4.
Row 6: p4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 6, p4.
Row 7: k4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 7, k4.
Row 8: p4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 8, p4.
Row 9: k4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 9, k4.
Row 10: p4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 10, p4.
Row 11: k4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 11, k4.
Row 12: p4, on next 85 sts follow the Zig Zag Stitch pattern Row 12, p4.
Rep last 12 rows until item measures approx 34 inches from cast on edge (or desired length of shawl).
Next 10 rows: repeat the 10 border rows.
Bind off with basic bind off method. Weave ends in. Steam block or wet block to desired measurements—blocking the item will allow the eyelets formed by the yarn overs to open up more. Tip: When blocking, use blocking wires to have straight edges.

Tom Sermanni named U.S. Women's soccer coach
Oct 30, 2012, 4:04 PM EST
After three straight gold medals and a couple World Cup titles we're almost certain the U.S. Women's team could operate independent of any oversight so long as Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan are around, but just to be safe Tom Sermanni was brought in as the new head coach of the team on Tuesday, effective January 1, 2013.
"[Sermanni] has the knowledge, experience and vision to take on the challenge of keeping our team at the top of the world," U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati said in a release. "He has a tremendous passion for the game, knows the American players, understands our system and knows the process of preparing a team for a World Cup tournament."
Sermanni comes to the U.S. after two stints with Australia totaling eleven years, and enters as the seventh head coach of the team since 1985. He takes over for Pia Sundhage, who is returning to her native Sweden after four successful years with Team USA. Jill Ellis has been coaching in the interim since the Olympics.
A native of Scotland, Sermanni played more than 300 professional matches before landing coaching gigs in Canberra, San Jose, and New York. He led the Matildas to the 1995 World Cup and a top-10 FIFA ranking during his tenure. After finishing out his obligations down under Sermanni will observe the team's last three U.S. games of 2012 (yet to be announced), and then take over when the new year rolls around.

Hi: 12° Lo:7°
By IH Thursday 24 January 2013 Updated: 24/01 10:21
NOEL Coward's classic comedy Blithe Spirit is next up at Kenilworth's Talisman Theatre.
Charles Condomine (Martin Eggleston) plans a séance as research for his new book. He invites the eccentric medium Madame Arcati (Christine Carpenter) into his English country home intending to expose the her as a fraud. To witness this event, Charles and his second wife, Ruth (Chris Ives) invite the sceptical Dr Bradman (John Nichols) and his anxious-to-believe wife, Violet (Linda Blain-Smith).
When, in the course of the séance, Madame Arcati mistakenly summons Charles' first wife, Elvira (Julie Godfrey), back from the beyond, things get thoroughly out of hand.
The show runs from Monday February 4 to Saturday February 9 with performances 7.30pm nightly.
Tickets area availble from the box office by calling box-office on 01926 856548.

WWE Star Darren Young Comes Out as Gay
August 15, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Darren Young made history yesterday as the first openly gay active professional wrestler of the Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. after coming out in an interview with TMZ.
TMZ stopped the star at LAX airport to ask him whether a gay man could be successful in the WWE.
Young chuckles and nonchalantly responds, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and, to be honest with you, I'm gay."
The 33-year-old said he hopes to pave the way for others struggling with their own coming out process.
"I'm hoping to be able to make a difference," he told TMZ. "It's very important to me that people understand that someone's sexual preference doesn't really matter. It's about the person."
Fellow WWE superstar John Cena and Executive Vice President Stephanie McMahon have since congratulated Young for taking such a brave step.

Scattered blizzards rolled through Juneau for most of the day - near-white-outs followed by squinting windows of sunlight. I drove to the gym with a high-intensity workout in mind. I've been using my quality time at the gym to catch up on back issues of the New Yorker and read "Desert Solitaire" for the fifth time (but only the second in the 2000s.) In a sign of improvement, I couldn't focus enough to read today ... seeing red spots and streaks of white ... the colors of strength, returning.
After 97 minutes and 1,353 estimated calories burned (yeah, right), I drove home feeling tired but unfulfilled. A rolling white-out filled the air with static and dissipated as quickly as it arrived, and to the south, the Channel shimmered beneath patches of blue sky. The temperature seemed to climb by the minute. I walked toward my house, weight firmly pressed on both feet, and wondered if this was my window. I've been plotting my return to the outdoors for a week now. It will be a while still before I can hike, ski or snowboard ... sadly, all of the activities I had planned to engage in with more fervor once winter cycling season was over. But cycling, where feet are off the ground and don't do much of anything anyway, is actually an ideal activity for a bad foot.
I broached the subject with my doctor yesterday. She regarded the idea in her semi-disapproving way but said as long as I monitored myself for infection or any kind of rapid changes, I could probably do the things I felt comfortable doing, but I should start slow. I'm in wait-and-see mode with any long-term damage, and there's little I can do but wait for my cells to do their thing; my only job is to keep my foot warm, keep it dry, keep it clean, keep it circulating, and avoid doing anything that causes pain. Check.
I ate lunch and prepped my armor - one loose, moisture-wicking nylon sock, one vapor barrier sock, one heavy duty super thick wool sock, my open-toe walking sandal and a brand new pair of NEOS Explorer overboots that I just bought from Geoff. I'm in general not a huge NEOS fan. (Before someone comments about how NEOS could have saved me on Flathorn Lake, I just want to reaffirm that they wouldn't have. My own system was waterproof to my shins and very water-resistant up to my knees, but I punched through the ice into open water at least as deep as my hips, and likely deeper.) But, really, NEOS are good footwear for keeping the toes warm when it's 20 below; they're also good footwear for keeping frostbitten toes warm when it's 40 degrees and partly cloudy with scattered snow showers.
I thought an hourlong ride sounded reasonable. I took Pugsley because he's my only bike in full working order right now. The first pedal strokes up the Douglas Highway were strange - at once dully familiar and exhilarating. The sucker hole in the clouds opened wider and full-spectrum sunlight poured onto the street. I glanced up at the afternoon sun, much higher in the sky than I remember it being. "This is a good thing, getting out," I told myself. "You need vitamin D to grow new skin. Or is that bone?"
Most of the ride passed by semi-consciously, the way you can sometimes drive to the store and have no memory of how you got there. I had a lot of energy in the reserves, but mentally I held back quite a bit, and ended up slipping into autodrive. Strong but tentative. Baby steps. As it turns out, the ride was a pretty good circulation jog. I felt great afterward. When I sit in my office desk for too long, I get "dead foot" feeling, which makes me nervous. And in my experience so far, the only way to return to healthy tingling is to stand up and move. And what better place to move around than where I belong, outside?
I'm not yet ready to just go ahead and start churning out hill intervals and centuries, but I'm more optimistic now that I'll get there in the time I need to be there. Baby steps toward summer. A good way to start out spring.
Yeah spring.

Winning Abstracts from the 2007 Medical Student Abstract Competition: Severe Carnitine Deficiency Leading to Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy.
Berkeley Limketkai, MD, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, 2007
Carnitine deficiency is an uncommon finding in adults that can lead to hyperammonemia and encephalopathy. We present a case of hyperammonemia that did not respond to traditional therapy until deficient carnitine stores were repleted.
Case Presentation:
A 35 year-old woman, status-post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for morbid obesity and status-post Puestow and Frey procedures for chronic pancreatitis, presented with altered mental status. The patient demonstrated fluctuating levels of consciousness, disorientation, and perseveration of speech. Other physical findings included hepatomegaly, generalized muscle weakness, ataxia, and asterixis.
Serum electrolytes and glucose levels were normal. She was severely malnourished with an albumin level of 1.6 g/dL and a prealbumin level of 8.2 mg/dL (normal 16-35). Liver enzymes and serum bilirubin levels were mildly elevated. Her ammonia level was 276 µg/dL (normal 40-80), suggesting an encephalopathy secondary to hyperammonemia. She received lactulose and hemodialysis, but ammonia levels continued to rise, peaking at 582 µg/dL.
Workup revealed normal serum levels of ornithine, citrulline, and arginine, which excluded a urea cycle defect. Blood and urine cultures failed to grow urea-splitting organisms. Markers for autoimmune and viral hepatitis were negative. Normal 24-hour urinary copper and serum ceruloplasmin levels ruled out Wilson's disease. Due to her malnourished state, a diagnosis of carnitine deficiency was entertained. Her total carnitine was low at 22 mM (normal 33.8-77.5). After therapy with oral and intravenous carnitine was initiated, ammonia levels normalized and her mental status returned to baseline.
Initial management of hyperammonemia includes a workup for common precipitating causes and administration of ammonia-reducing therapies. Classic disorders that increase ammonia levels include hepatic dysfunction, urea cycle defects, renal failure, and infection with urea-splitting organisms (e.g., P. mirabilis). Iatrogenic etiologies include total parenteral nutrition, portosystemic shunts, and medications (e.g., valproic acid). There are rare reports, predominantly in the pediatrics literature, that describe systemic carnitine deficiency leading to hyperammonemia.
Carnitine is an essential cofactor for long-chain fatty acid metabolism. It promotes translocation of fatty acyl molecules into the mitochondrial matrix, where ß-oxidation occurs. In carnitine deficiency, accumulation of unoxidized long-chain acyl-CoA inhibits ureogenesis, thereby impairing an important mechanism of ammonia excretion. Moreover, the concomitant decrease of acyl-CoA in the mitochondria indirectly reduces the synthesis of N-acetylglucosamine, an allosteric activator in the urea cycle. Inherited defects in carnitine translocation may present similarly, but with elevated carnitine and acylcarnitine levels.
Normally, 75% of body carnitine stores are derived from dietary protein. However, in the absence of an exogenous source (e.g., strict vegetarians), over 90% of carnitine is synthesized by the liver from lysine and methionine. In our patient, methionine levels were extremely low (6 mM; normal 12-56); hence, hypocarnitinemia resulted from the combination of poor dietary intake and impaired biosynthesis. Carnitine supplementation repleted body stores, restored hepatic excretion of ammonia, and permitted a return to baseline mental status.

Closing arguments Tuesday over 2007 guard death
(Information in the following story is from: The Eagle, http://www.theeagle.com)
BRYAN, Texas (AP) - The lone defense witness in the trial of a Texas convicted killer charged in a guard's 2007 death says the slaying might not have been intentional.
Closing arguments are scheduled Tuesday in the Bryan capital murder trial of John Falk Jr.
Prosecutors are seeking to have Falk join inmate Jerry Martin on death row over the killing of Officer Susan Canfield during an escape attempt. Martin rammed a truck into the Wynne Unit guard who was on horseback.
The Eagle newspaper reports Falk did not testify. Kelley Adamson, who's an accident reconstructionist, testified Monday that he thinks some vehicle skid marks were already present and the collision might not have been intentional.
Martin was serving 50 years for attempted capital murder. Falk was serving a life term for murder.

FMVs are pre-rendered videos used in place of real-time graphics. Using FMV was an attempt to make videogames look "more like movies", sometimes with CGI animation and others with live-action actors speaking directly to players. The downside is that FMV requires a lot of disk space, and live-action FMV in particular can look terrible by comparison.

The party of Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao has won East Timor's parliamentary election, but was short of a majority, provisional results showed on Sunday, raising the prospect of a coalition government in Asia's youngest nation.
With all the ballots counted from Saturday's poll, the National Council of Timorese Resistance (CNRT) party led by Gusmao, a former guerrilla leader, had 36.7 percent of the vote, election commission official Tomas Cabral said.
The opposition Fretilin Party, also a key player in securing independence from Indonesia, scored 29.9 percent. The Democratic Party lay third with 10.3 percent, placing it in a key position in any bid to form a government.
"The result makes us even more curious about who would form the government," said Antonio dos Reis, a veteran independence fighter. "But for me, these parties should unite and form a united government so that we can start developing this country."
With negotiations on a coalition almost certainly ahead, voters huddled around radios to hear the latest tallies, while many followed results posted on Facebook and Twitter.
"What we will see in the next two or three weeks is a lot of discussion between CNRT and the Fretilin about the potential arrangements for the foundation of the government," said Silas Everett, country representative for the Asia Foundation.
"The discussions will probably result in either a coalition or a minority government."
The CNRT based its platform on seeking foreign loans to build infrastructure in one of Asia's poorest country with high youth unemployment. Fretilin opposes resorting to loans.
However, Everett said that if the parties could bridge their differences, the resulting coalition would produce a more stable government able to proceed with economic development.
CNRT is open for talks following the result announcement, said Dionisio Babo Soares, the party's secretary general.
The party targeted to win 44 seats but would only get around 30 of the 65-seat parliament based on the result.
Official results are expected on July 17. The government has said a new administration will be formed by Aug. 8.
