Check out this interesting article concerning the perceived stereotypical images Tyler Perry's characters exude in his movies, and the conundrum some members of the black community faces as a result:
If you happened to buy a ticket to Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail without knowing what you were getting into, you might think you'd stumbled onto a cheery comedy about an overgrown granny with anger-management issues. A black Mrs. Doubtfire, say, with car chases and reefer jokes. You'd never suspect that you had strayed into the midst of a culture war — one that's been simmering inside the African-American community since before blackface. "I loved working with Tyler Perry, but he's a controversial, complicated figure," says Viola Davis, who costarred in Madea Goes to Jail and recently snagged an Oscar nomination for Doubt. "People feel the images [in his movies] are very stereotypical, and black people are frustrated because they feel we should be more evolved. But there are very few black images in Hollywood, so black people are going to his movies. That's the dichotomy. Tyler Perry is making money."
Does Tyler Perry have a moral responsibility to use his influence to create more positive images of blacks in his movies, or do you feel he only owes the black community a quality product designed to entertain, which is really all we pay for?

Hitachi warns end users removing Microdrive from iPod mini
"Nguyen [Hitachi's global storage technologies media relations head] stressed that her company's $499 pricing for the hard drive at retail as a standalone item is 'a suggested selling price only.' She also said: 'Standalone Microdrive products provide additional value over embedded products used in consumer electronic devices in their ability to be removed and used in a variety of different devices. Embedded Microdrive media is only designed to work in the device for which it was originally intended.'
The drives that ship embedded within devices are custom-built for Hitachi's OEMs, and the features available inside the drives may not be as complete as those available at retail.
'Some of the drives we ship today are used by consumers in products like digital cameras as removable storage: in other cases, the drives are designed inside devices such as MP3 players where the drive is not meant to be removed by end users.'"

Tonic - apparently we're not argueing the same issues. You're trying to convince me that the MagicStor is not a MD b/c it has problems working with a digital cameras and other devices… despite the FACT that the MagicStor has the exact physical features of the Hitachi MD (Compact Flash Type II / 1" HDD). You seem to be agueing the term 'MicroDrive' as a 'trademark' name for Hitachi and Hitachi alone even though publishing sources such as PCmagazine and respectable online digital camera websites such as Steves-Digicams label the MagicStor as 'Microdrive'. You still have no hard evidence to state the MagicStor is not a MD. User's experience of having problems with it not operating in certain CFII devices is not a valid reason to say MagicStor are not MD's. Peoples computer's don't work all the time… should we then say it's not a computer? And you have to ask yourself at least one question: what is then the primary function of the 1" MicroDrive MagicStor CFII? Is this all making sense to you now?
MagicStor Specs: http://www.gs-magicstor.com/english/product/product_a_04a.htm
Hitachi Specs: http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/micro/micro3k4.htm
Both Hitachi and MagicStor have IDENTICAL physical dimensions and operational capabilities. The only difference is the capacity and rotational speed… but that varies on normal HDDs as well so that'sneglible.
MagicStor Purpose: http://www.gs-magicstor.com/english/download/1044c_eng.zip
From this leaflet, you can see what the MagicStor was built for.
You still have not proven to me that the MagicStor is not a microdrive.
Posted by MuVo^2 User on March 13, 2004 at 11:58 AM (CST)
Let me say this one last time. A Compact Flash card also has the same physical dimensions as a MicroDrive. A Compact Flash card also has the same purpose as a MicroDrive. Does that make it a MicroDrive? NO! The only thing that makes it more SIMILAR to a MicroDrive is that it is a mechanical drive and not solid-state.
At most, the MagicStor is a CLONE, but it is not even a complete clone. Let me give you a very simple example. AMD chips are clones of Intel chips because they work LIKE Intel chips. In fact, they are practically EQUIVALENT to Intel chips because you can use them anywhere you can use Intel chips. But no one in the world with half a brain would argue that an AMD chip IS an Intel chip. They are different products, with different design and engineering.
However, you could at least argue that AMD chips are as good as Intel chips because they can be used interchangeably. With the MagicStor, even this is not true, as there are a multitude of products which can use the MicroDrive but cannot use the MagicStor. They are not interchangeable products, it is that simple. If you still feel that you are right, I challenge you to buy a MagicStor and use it in your MuVo^2 in place of your MicroDrive.
Posted by tonicboy on March 13, 2004 at 3:40 PM (CST)
You're arguement falls apart b/c you're only argueing your point based on the term 'MicroDrive' as a registered trademark.
Of course a MagicStor will not work in the MuVo^2… but neither does anything else except very certain CF cards (ie. Sandisk CFI 512MB and IBM 1GB MD work well). A lot of brand name CF cards don't work, but I do not see your point here.
And like it was shown in the previous statement I made… the Hitachi and MagicStor Microdrives are IDENTICAL physically and operationally… which surpasses your poor example of Intel and AMD chips which are only considered EQUIVALENTS. IDENTICAL and EQUIVALENT are not the same thing.
You still have not disproven that MagicStor makes and sells microdrives.
Posted by MuVo^2 on March 13, 2004 at 6:19 PM (CST)
This makes the list amount to 5 manufacturers and producers of microdrives: Iomega: http://www.iomega.com/about/prreleases/2001/1gb_microdrive.html
Posted by Muvo^2 User on March 13, 2004 at 6:32 PM (CST)
I have not made a single argument about the name 'MicroDrive', so please give up that ridiculous argument. I am trying very very hard to make BASIC arguments here that can be followed easily by small children, but obviously it is not working.
In reference to things being IDENTICAL or EQUIVALENT, my argument is that the MagicStor is neither IDENTICAL NOR EQUIVALENT to the MicroDrive. Just because they list a few similar specifications does NOT make them identical. If they WERE identical, then they should behave exactly as MicroDrives do, and we have already seen that they don't.
As for the Iomega drives, they are actually rebranded Hitachi MicroDrives. From the following link http://www.dpreview.com/news/0011/00110702iomegamicrodrive.asp:
"Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM - news), a global leader in data management solutions, and IBM Corporation (NYSE: IBM - news) have reached an agreement that calls for Iomega to market IBM's Microdrive(TM) miniaturized hard disk technology under the Iomega brand in North America."
Clearly, these drives are manufactured by IBM (now Hitachi) and only marketed by Iomega. Therefore, that still leaves Hitachi as the sole manufacturer of all MicroDrives.
That's it, please save your breath as I will not respond to any more inane messages. I am obviously not going to convince you, and anyone reading this thread will be embarassed to read your arguments. Enjoy your MuVo^2. I have one myself and can definitively say, they are absolutely awful.
Posted by tonicboy on March 14, 2004 at 6:22 AM (CST)
I am not convinced that Hitachi is the sole producer of MDs as long as MagicStor makes their own MDs. Apparently I am not alone on this:
It's too bad that you just can't admit that there are other manufactures of MDs. You've only argued your point but with no evidence, no proof. You have yet to show that Hitachi in fact is the sole producer of MDs. As long as those links above exist, you'll never convince me or anyone else.

Maaaan, Tonic and MuVo… you guys are top of the line "HiJackers of threads". :p
I believe that developing a slight modification in a product to deny its use in other products. Then adding a +200$ pricetag for good measure 'despite' manufacturing costs, should be considered unfair marketing.

You don't know if it will float or not till you drop it in the tank. I dropped it in the tank. And it sank. That stank.
Did anyone get it to work? Like, in the REAL FRIGGIN WORLD!?? Is there evidence of success, or am I simply stuck with rational sounding once-upon-a-time theories and ass covering nay-saying boilerplates?
Posted by jordi on July 18, 2005 at 11:13 PM (CDT)
Hitachi you stink for making drives and deviating from developing and or adhearing to any sort of industry standards that would have otherwise made these parts more useful to end users after the original products had failed or ceased to be useful.
My 4gb iPod died, again. So I parted it out and wanted to use it in my Toshiba Pocket PC e740.
Which is possible as it detects the drive, and since your inconsiderate marketing strategies have left me with drivers for MIPS and a few other embedded cpus and NOT the Widely used ARM and Pocket PC Platform, this drive is going in the garbage where it belongs..
I cant wait to see Hitachi go out of business, and Hitachi, your desktop drives stunk, everyone knows that, Maybe thats why you got your sorry ass out of the game..
Poor product support means unhappy end users, unhappy end users mean your ass is going out of business.

Air traffic flow control during adverse weather conditions is managed by the Federal Aviation Administration in today's air traffic system, although it is the individual airlines that are in the best position to assess the costs of disruptions to scheduled operations. To improve the efficiency of resource allocation, a market mechanism is proposed that enables airlines to participate directly in the flow control decision-making process. Since airlines can be expected to behave strategically, a lump-sum market mechanism is used for which existence of a Nash equilibrium and a bound on the worst case efficiency loss have been shown for agents that anticipate the effects of their own bids on resource prices. The convergence properties of this mechanism are studied for a two-player game with linear utilities, which reveals that restricting the airline bid update step-size can result in a wider range of stable bidding processes. The mechanism is then applied to an air traffic flow control scenario for multiple airports in the northeastern United States, which demonstrates the feasibility of performing market-based resource allocation within the time horizon for reliable weather predictions.

There used to be scars
Reminders of how much I hated myself
But now there is a promise
Of love, of life
Of forgiveness
Now I know
I am not here to fail
I am here to help
Myself, and others
There are some who need me too
Believe it or not
On my arms
There were names carved deep out of depression
But now, there is love
I used to want to scream
But I knew no one would listen
I was glad
I wanted to die
I wanted to fade away
Now I know
I am not useless
We only want to help you
So put the knife away
This isn't what anybody needs
This isn't good for you
I know you don't care
But I do
But I do
So what if you aren't "perfect"
Perfection becomes redefined in the eyes of the world
Perfection's on the inside
Beauty isn't just skin deep
So go to sleep tonight
Knowing you'll wake up tomorrow
You never were forsaken
Someone came in the night
Like a stranger, like a thief
To steal your pain away
And to write love on your arms

He never seemed to get it right
Broken soul on the broken road
Broken heart in a broken man
He never could understand
What the answer was
What life was about
He dedicated his life again
Only to feel her slip away
How many times must he feel this pain
Is there no one left to comfort
No more shoulders left to cry on
He sucks it up and walks away
Knowing nothing more to say
He knows he has to say something
But his is a quiet answer
Something simple, something subtle
Something to let the world know his choice
The last choice he'll ever make
The final fight of his broken life

SUMMERS COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An elementary school teacher in Mingo County is behind bars after deputies say they found him with marijuana.
Deputies tell WSAZ.com, they arrested Fredrick Huffman during a traffic stop on the Route 20 bypass near Hinton in Summers County.
Huffman is a teacher at Gilbert Elementary School. He is being charged with felony possession of marijuana.
Deputies say they found an ounce of marijuana, plus weight scales and a gun from Huffman's car.
Investigators say Huffman's possession of the gun was legal, but it will call for a stiffer penalty on the drug crime.

Jamaica Stand Up! Usain Bolt Sets Record, Takes Home The GoldAugust 6, 2012 // Comments Off
By Associated Press
LONDON — Usain Bolt of Jamaica won his second straight Olympic gold medal in the men's 100 meters Sunday, crossing the line in an Olympic-record 9.63 seconds.
Bolt joined Carl Lewis as only the second man to go back-to-back in track's biggest race.
Bolt's training partner and fellow Jamaican, Yohan Blake, finished second in 9.75. American Justin Gatlin took bronze in 9.79.
Bolt fell shy of his world record of 9.58 seconds but improved on the 9.69 he ran four years ago in Beijing to enter his name, once again, in the Olympic record book.
After taking half a victory lap around the track, he stopped, kissed the track and gave his now-famous "To The World" pose, pointing both fingers in the air while the fans screamed.

NASCAR BuddhismYou don't normally think of Buddhists as NASCAR fans, but why not? Arlynda Boyer, a lifelong NASCAR aficionado, has been practicing Buddhism for past 15 years. She tells Auto Racing Daily ("Where you get your auto racing news") that she sees plenty of similarities between the Buddha's teachings and the NASCAR lifestyle—both NASCAR drivers and Buddhists, she says, "have to live in the moment." She's even written a book about it: Buddha on the Backstretch: The Spiritual Wisdom of Driving 200mph. More »

The Peace of MettaThe peace of metta (lovingkindness) offers us the kind of happiness that gives us the ability to concentrate. Serenity is the most important ingredient in being able to be present or being able to concentrate the mind. Concentration is an act of cherishing a chosen object. If we have no serenity, the mind will be scattered, and we will not be able to gather in the energy that is being lost to distraction. When we can concentrate, all of this energy is returned to us. This is the potency that heals us. - Sharon Salzberg, Lovingkindness Did you know that you can join a retreat with Sharon Salzberg right now?

December 8: Celebration of the Buddha's EnlightenmentWhat to do to celebrate the day that marks the Buddha's enlightenment, or "the Buddha's Big E," as Wild Fox Zen's Dosho Port has it? Here's what Dosho writes before he offers us a ceremony for our home practice: In our tradition, we commemorate the Buddha's Enlightenment Day on December 8th. Zen lore has it that after sitting under the bodhi tree for seven days, the Buddha looked up, saw the morning star and roared his lion's roar, "I together with the great earth and all living beings, attain the Way."

I cannot even begin to describe the avalanche of crazy that has happened in my life in the last three months. More has been served up to me than I ever thought I could manage...but, I'm holding it together (might have cried when the UPS driver arrived suuuper late yesterday so maybe not as well as I think but, you can't win them all). This avalanche has been a mix of good and bad...bringing me to the extremes of both. One of the really exciting things was a series of meetings and interviews I did with John Tierney and Deb Fallows from The Atlantic. I wrote about the first mention a few weeks ago here but, this article is about Moop!... Continue Reading →

Out Takes
While creating Road Trip I carefully considered the photographic vision. Even while designing I was envisioning where each piece would be photographed. I wanted to make sure that the knits looked delicious but also that the photos captured the beauty of the places so near to my heart….But things do not always go quite as planned!
With a combination of weather, small children, bugs, camping (and the inevitable dirtiness that goes along with that) and everything else that can get in the way of a photoshoot, there are a few out takes to share:
Have any tricks for a problem free photoshoot? Or do you prefer the uncomplicated selfie?

Choosing a Palette for Colourwork
Choosing a palette for colourwork is a challenge. It seems as though you can just choose a few colours you like and go nuts right? Well let me tell you from experience, this is not the case. Choosing the palettes for the Clayoquot cardigan and toque took what felt like a million swatches and a few failed hats before I finally settled on the colours I did! Here are a few tips to choose your colours (and avoid the million swatches like me!)
Light and Dark
The key to a good palette is a mix of light and dark. If you choose 3 dark colours (or 3 light) there will be a low level of contrast and the difference between the pattern and the background won't be as crisp as you might like. I prefer to choose my main colour first, usually something distinctively light or dark (I find medium a little harder to go from), then the accents.
Once you know your main colour it's time to have some fun. Do you want your hat or cardigan to have a fun and bright feel? Perhaps something more neutral subdued? A cool palette or something warmer? There are many ways to go once you have your main and here are a few examples to get you going:
These are a couple of prototype hats Emily created in Rainbow Heirloom Yarn. On the left: MC Fluffy Bunny, CC1 Favourite Auntie, CC2 Killer Flamingo – Emily went with a lighter background colour and 2 darker contrasts. Notice that the contrast colours are similar, there isn't much contrast between them but there is high contrast between the MC and the CC's.
On the right: MC New Asphalt, CC1 Fluffy Bunny, CC2 Aussie Sunshine – for this hat the background colour is dark while the contrast colours are lighter. There is less contrast between the contrast colours but Aussie Sunshine is a very vivid colour, making it pop.
MC Something Blue, CC1 Winter, CC2 Marshland – (Sweet Fiber Merino Twist DK) for this hat I went with something wild for the main color but I wasn't happy with the contrast between the first contrast colour and the main colour, not quite zippy enough! (zippy being a technical term)
These are the final colour palettes I used for the hats and the sweaters (all in Sweet Fiber Merino Twist DK). A few things to note:
For Hunter's sweater I used a dark MC (Marhsland), a light CC1 (Paper Birch), and a medium CC2 (Something Blue). Enough contrast to go around!
For Emily's sweater I went with a light MC (Winter), and 2 dark contrasts (Marshland and Moss). I wanted the deep blue and green to mimic the sea. While both the contrast colours are darker, the green is saturated and vivid, letting it shine next to the blue. The pattern really pops!
For Eric's toque I went with the same palette as Hunter's sweater but in a different way, lighter background color, dark CC1, and a medium CC2
For Bodhi's toque I chose a darker background (Sea Glass), a light CC1 (Canary), and a medium/dark CC2 (Spanish Coin), a good mix of light and dark, neutral and colourful, making for a fun hat!
The free Clayoquot toque pattern is a great place to play with colours and make sure you have a stunning palette before embarking on your Clayoquot sweater. So go forth and choose your colours!

Mile One
The Clayoquot cardigan was inspired by Mile 1 of the Trans Canada Highway, the pier in Tofino, BC. The beautiful blues and greens of the Pacific ocean waters and forest beyond are mimicked in the rich, deep colours of hand dyed Sweet Fiber yarns. We used Merino Twist DK, Emily's cardigan is in 'Winter', 'Marshland' and 'Moss', while Hunter's is 'Marshland', 'Paper Birch', and 'Something Blue'.
To photograph the Clayoquot cardigan I took Hunter and Emily to the pier. They looked out into the vast Clayoquot Sound dressed in their matching sweaters. I've been to the west coast of Vancouver Island many times and there is always an inspiring sight to behold, I've seen protesters protecting the majestic forests, kayakers and paddle boarders heading out onto the water, Orca whales and black bears, and so much more. It is such a busy and vibrant place!

ROAD TRIP ::: the inspiration for a new collection
Emily and I have been busy ladies this year. We brought two new babies into the world, Max and Bodhi (destined to be some sort of crime fighting duo with names like those), and we have been working on another baby, our fifth book, Road Trip: 14 knits inspired by the open road.
Read about our inspirations for this book, our traditions and our adventures, and check out a sneak preview of the delicious knits. We are launching the book very soon… hop on our email list and we'll let you know when it's ready!
::: roadtrips – a family tradition :::
I have always loved a good road trip. I think this love of the road dates back to family road trips we took when I was small. That's me, peeking out of the back of our VW Van on my first camping trip in the Rocky Mountains. Hopping in the car with my parents, and not much later my brothers, there was a sense of adventure and endless possibilities. I would band together with my siblings, friends for the trip, and get to know my parents in a different light. Memorable conversations, sights, and experiences were guaranteed.
::: roadtripping in search of adventure :::
Emily is a woman of great adventure. She has taken many journeys across and around North America, by bus, car, and bicycle. She loves to head out into the hills with nothing but the pack on her back and always returns feeling refreshed and re-energized. Road trips are an excellent opportunity to go off the beaten path, venture out into the unknown, and to challenge yourself in new ways. They offer a chance to re-connect with yourself and think outside the box. You return home with a different perspective on life and renewed enthusiasm for projects… knitting or otherwise!
::: the romance of the open road :::
Road trips also offer a sense of romance. There is something very exciting about getting away with a new love. Long car chats, shared adventures, and romantic locales give you time to get to know one another without distractions. Sipping lattes at a quaint cafe, enjoying a pint in a rustic mountains pub, or taking a stroll down a wooded path are fond memories I hold. When I was a bit younger, I went on a road trip with my boyfriend. We enjoyed endless conversation about everything under the sun and it was then I knew I would marry that man. Seven years later I did, and Gary still loves a road trip as much as I do!
Now Gary and I take our three kids on the road and it is as great as I remember. We visit all of our favourite spots but they are somehow different. Seen through little eyes with boundless enthusiasm, everything old is new again. Their young sense of adventure makes me feel renewed.
::: Road Trip : 14 Knits Inspired by the Open Road :::
Road Trip is a book of designs inspired by all of these things, by nostalgia, romance and adventure, looking forward and back. Beautiful views from winding mountain passes to leisurely afternoons in quaint coffee shops. So grab your needles and yarn, pack up the car, and take your knitting on the road!

Knitting Along
Sometimes knitting seems like a solitary hobby/habit/lifestyle, especially if you are missing the love of the LYS. Well, this summer there are 2 ways to keep in touch with knitters working on the same project as you! The Summer Sweater KAL is on at Very Shannon and Anna of Baaad Anna's is hosting a Gramps Grown up KAL too!
First up, the Summer Sweater KAL. This will be my second time with the SSKAL, last year I whipped up an Antler sweater for Hunter that I love and an Urban Hiker for Jones. The Urban Hiker met with a rather unfortunate incident while blocking on the patio (a bird flew over…and unloaded on my sweater). It is waiting patiently by my dye pot to become a different (and darker) colour to this day.
This year, I'm upping my game. I'm knitting a Gramps in a grown up size for Bobby. I agreed to knit Bobby a sweater about 3 years ago when I knit a sweater for a baby shower for his little girl. I usually don't knit sweaters for other grown people (except my mum) but he was just so smitten with the idea of matching hand knit sweaters I couldn't resist! My intentions were good, but my free time is low so the sweater remained an idea until now. This SSKAL is the perfect kick in the bum to get me going!
My Gramps will be in Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage in 'Rainwater' and I'm still undecided on the contrast (maybe 'Twig'?).
Emily will be working on a Lush sweater again this year (who can get enough of that pattern?!). She is knitting it up her Rainbow Heirloom yarn in 'Favourite Aunty' and you can check out all the gritty details here.
You can find all the SSKAL details as well as the sign up info here. It started on July 30th and ends September 24th, follow along on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #sskal14 There will be prizes so make sure you sign up!
Baaad Anna's is a very community oriented shop. There always seem to be knitters hanging out on her comfy couch, there are toys for the wee ones, and customers often appear on the blog, modeling their recent FO's. Anna has been begging for the grown up Gramps for ages and when it finally arrived she was ready to start a KAL! To join along you can check out her Rav group here or Instagram and Twitter along with the hashtag #grampskal

Gramps: All Grown Up
Ever since we first released the Gramps pattern in 2011 (I can't believe it's been 3 years already!) we have had requests for this sweater in grown up sizes. Well the grown up Gramps is here at last! Now you can knit your adorable little grump and your more mature grump the very same sweater.
The original Gramps was inspired by the idea that wee babies look a lot like grandpas. They just have that grandpa face! It's adorable to think about small children with little pockets for their pipes and elbow patches to cover years of wear and a generous shawl collar too! They look old and young, vintage and new, all at the same time. But what of the adults who love this look? Now we have something for them too!
I have always loved a shawl collar. It makes a sweater look casual and vintage. It conjures images of fireplaces, farmhouses, and newspapers for me. I can picture both my father and my grandfather in worn sweaters, sitting by the fire with their newspaper (I realize this comment is kind of dated in the digital age, an iPad would be more up-to-date but you get the picture!). This classic knit is oh so cozy, with details to keep you warm while looking cool.
Gramps is knit from the top down, shawl collar and button bands are picked up and pockets and elbow patches are sewn on last. To knit a Gramps of your own here are the materials:
Pattern: Gramps by Tin Can Knits
Yarn: We used Madelinetosh Vintage. Hunter is wearing size 2-4 in 'robin red breast' and 'whiskey barrel', Jones is wearing 6-12 mo in 'whiskey barrel' and 'well water', and Emily is wearing size S in 'charcoal' and 'smoke')
Needles: US #7 / 4.5mm and US #6 / 4.0 mm (or as req'd to meet gauge); baby – 6-8 yrs: 32"+ circ and DPNs in ea size
8-10 yrs – Ladies L: 40"+ circ and DPNs in ea size Ladies XL – 4XL: 47"+ circ and DPNs in ea size, plus 16" circ in larger size for upper sleeve
If you are daunted by raglan sweaters, short rows, or pockets you can check out our fabulous Gramps tutorial here. We will take you step by step through the sweater knitting process.
The only question is: Who will you be knitting up a Gramps sweater for?

A Yarny Excursion
Vancouver has an abundance of wonderful yarn shops and in my job I get to frequent them all (it's tough work but someone has to do it). Last weekend I had a great opportunity to hit the road with some knitterly friends and check out a few shops across the border: Churchmouse Yarn and Teas and Tolt Yarn and Wool in Washington. I arose at an awful hour, packed up Bodhi and away we went!
Our first stop was Churchmouse Yarns, a great little shop in a super cute neighborhood on Bainbridge Island. The ladies gushed over Bodhi while helping us with our yarny needs. I've been knitting with Brooklyn Tweed lately so I was drawn to their full collection of Shelter, all in a pretty cabinet display. There was recycled cashmere, Blue Moon Fiber Arts, and Spin Cycle yarns to oggle too. I nabbed some great toggle buttons and some Shelter in Plum (might be a cabled cowl or scarf, not too sure yet… wheels are turning!).
Next stop was Tolt Yarn and Wool and I am just in love! The whole shop has a wonderful antique vibe with beautiful wood pieces to hold the pretty yarns. Not to mention the friendly and helpful staff, they treated us like knitting queens. Tolt carries some fantastic yarns that I haven't seen too often including YOTH Yarns, Quince and Co, and Hazel Knits. I picked up a skein of the YOTH Yarns Big Sister DK (80/10/10 merino, cashmere, nylon) and Em picked up a whole sweater's worth. I can't wait to get it on the needles!
I first met Hazel Knits yarn at Vogue Knitting and have been petting the lovely skeins I bought there ever since. I knit Hunter a little sweater in their sock yarn and the colour depth is amazing. I wanted to take home the whole display but settled on enough 'Emerald City' for a Hunter sweater and the last skein of 'Sedge' because I had to have it!
The crew and I skipped down the road with our full bags to a little cafe for the best egg salad sandwich I have ever eaten then it was back on the road. A long but wonderful day. Thanks again to Ashley for organizing and to Em and Tabitha for being fun car-mates!
Where do you go on your yarny adventures out of town?

Star Anise
- JonH Dec 20, 2006 02:43 PM
I have a recipe for chicken dummettes that calls for one star anise. I live in an area where star anise is just not available. Is there anything I can use to substitute? Thanks.
Could you give us the recipe you're using? It'd be great to know what other ingredients are in order to answer.
I thought I couldn't find star anise at my grocery store, but found it hidden in the Mexican/Latin foods section with the adobo. Why they don't put all of the spices together, I have no clue.
I agree that if you give us your recipe or the context of the use, there may be some easy substitutions.
anise seeds, fennel seeds, or licorice r the only substitutes I can think of. I would suggest (I'm guessing) - about 3/4 tsp or fennel seeds would work just fine.
Here is the recipe:
In a 3 quart saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1/2 cup dark soy sauce, 1/3 cup regular soy sauce, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 4 quater sized slices of ginger lightly crushed, 2 chopped green onions, 1 star anise, and 1/8 tsp of five spice powder. Bring to boil. Add chicken drummettes, reduce to simmer until chicken is tender.
Maybe the star anise is not really needed. Also, why use two kinds of soy sauce? How would the taste change if I used just regular soy sauce? I also have a Japenese soy sauce if that would be a better solution. Thanks.
re: JonH
Often this dish is called 'red cooked'. The basic step is simmering the meat in a soy sauce rich liquid. The other items add flavor, but are not essential, and can be varied. I wouldn't worry too much about the different soy sauces - a half cup or more of regular will do.
I think five spice powder already includes star anise. The label may say. You could increase that a bit. The star anise adds a nice licorice quality to the dish, though I usually throw in 3 or 4. Fennel seeds should also work, even through they are not normally used in Chinese cooking.
Star anise can be found among the Mexican spices (usually in small celo packages). According to one Mexican store owner, they use it more for medicinal purposes than for cooking.
Dried shitake mushrooms are another flavor component in this type of dish.
The cooking liquid can be saved and reused to cook more meat. I like using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They are convenient, and I don't think the skin contributes anything to the dish.
re: JonH
Just add more five spice. Star anise is one of the five spice. The reason for dark soy and light soy is the meat is supposed to be nice and dark bronze color, which the dark soy will provide. If you use all regular soy the chicken would be too salty.
You can reuse the liquid for other meats like pork chop, boil eggs and even beef shank.
It's a pretty traditional cold starter dish found in Northern China.
re: JonH
The Dark soy is to give the chicken color. Dark soy is not as salty as the light soy. The star anise is to help rid the chikcen smell. I'm Chinese American with a lot of experience in Asia. Lee Kum Kee does sell a pre-mixed version of the sauce you are making. It comes in a bottle and I was just playing around with it the other night. You just pour it out of the bottle and put it in the pan with the chicken.
Your dish if you added vinegar, and left the sugar out would be close to an adobo. Another delightfully tasty dish.
I make a rib dish that is labled "korean ribs, and it is almost identical to the one that you are making with the chicken,only I drop about 4 star anise in and with pork it is perfect.
I might leave the star anise out of this dish anyway its potent and maybe use about 1/2 tsp of 5 spice.
I would increase the five-spice powder to around 1/4 - 1/2 tsp if you have no star anise. Taste before adding the larger amount because it can overwhelm other spices. I usually add a couple of sticks of cinnamon to the mix.
When you have finished the dish, do not throw the cooking liquid away. It will freeze well and can be used for other braised meats. Keeping the liquid from each batch will improve the flavor.

Finding an alligator prowling around the area is something that residents in the southeastern part of the country are relatively accustomed to dealing with. But finding monster—not once, but twice—that looks like it walked right out of a Discovery Channel special? That's a little less common.
A Florida man found himself in a spot of trouble earlier this month when he tried to trade a captive alligator for a 12-pack of beer.
Like the fossilized skeletons of its ancestors displayed in the Smithsonian, a 12-foot alligator can be scary even when it's dead—something that Shooting Illustrated's Adam Heggenstaller learned in person during a gator hunt in Florida.
A Tallahassee man was charged with disorderly conduct after jumping off of a State Park tour boat to "swim with the alligators."
A Texas game warden learned his lesson with an ornery alligator while trying to remove the gator from a South Texas freeway.

Last Sunday, for reasons that even today I can't explain, I counted the number of men wearing Hawaiian shirts walking into church. Fourteen had taken their seats by the opening song.
I leave up to the pastor such matters as what proper worship wear is ("At key events in the Gospel, the apostles' robes were always dry cleaned and pressed"), but somewhere during the sermon my mind did wander back to the shirts, and a question:
Why is it that some people who don't think palm fronds or hibiscus blossoms are just a tad too barbecue-y are likely the same ones you see pounding on the lectern at a zoning hearing, demanding that the city do something about how his neighbor's property looks?
I was thinking about an article by Howard Fischer of Capitol Media Services that I had just read in that morning's Tribune, "Ruling opens HOA sculpture dispute to jury decision."
Fischer reported that the Arizona Court of Appeals is leaving it to a trial court jury to decide these questions: Is a local homeowner's metal sculpture of a sunglasses-wearing saguaro holding an electric guitar a form of artistic expression, as he contends? Or is it rather a "structure" or "unsightly object" subject to homeowners association rules, as his HOA argues?
While HOAs have their place in subdivisions whose individual dwellings were built and intended to look something like all the others, many of those serving on HOA boards make the classic mistake:
Instead of writing rules that cover most things most of the time, they embark on what seems sometimes like a holy quest to write rules that cover all things, stone tablets and all. (See, I actually did pay attention to the sermon.)
It's one thing to ban metal storage sheds or even basketball hoops; most reasonable people aren't going to call such things artistic expression. But when a guy erects a metal saguaro in his yard, puts sunglasses on it and puts an electric guitar in its arm, well, it's a safe bet he's not planning to play basketball or store power tools.
And while you can expect a judge to keep a straight face while you describe how the neighbor kids like to congregate at 2:30 a.m. at the basketball hoop next door to dribble and carom the ball off the rim hard and loudly 315 times in a row, it's quite difficult to expect the same when you testify that your neighbor's phony saguaro is keeping you up nights.
Playing the property values card is pretty silly even during times of rising home prices. Few if any real estate appraisers are willing to state for the record that they downgraded a house's value because the people across the street had a metal saguaro in the front yard.
But during these much tougher times, even the finest-looking, followed-every-regulation house on the block just spent the last three years losing half its value to the real estate plunge. So it seems to be conjuring up the well-known attention paid to the arrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic to be discussing neighborhood efforts at artistic expression as a mitigating factor in how much you can get for your place.
But of course, some people still try.
According to Fischer, the HOA in this suit tried calling the saguaro "landscaping." It also attempted to define the saguaro as a "structure," but the appellate judges tossed aside that explanation, writing, "Although the CC&Rs do not define 'structure,' that word appears in several provisions governing garages, guest houses, new construction, outbuildings, tennis courts, and such things as trailers, tents, shacks, and barns. None of these references include art or sculptures."
But, as Fischer reported, the decision does allow the association to assert rules that ban signs, billboards and other "unsightly objects" on any of its properties.
And so a jury will decide whether the ersatz cactus is kitschy art or unbearable eyesore. Stay tuned, East Valley HOA members. That birdhouse you just hung in that tree? I'd start adorning it with Campbell's soup cans so you can claim you're doing an homage to Andy Warhol.
You might consider wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

While leaving the house is undeniably exciting for a dog, Lucca Bella fosters a calm and peaceful spa experience by using all-natural grooming products, hand-drying manes instead of using noisy blow-dryers, and keeping antagonistic squirrels out of sight. For puppy facials and baths, the canine caretakers go at a speed the dog is comfortable with to avoid unnecessary stress.
During daycare sessions, owners gain peace of mind knowing their canine companion is making new friends in Lucca Bella's indoor, climate-controlled play area and outdoor sunbathing spot.
Owned by Dr. Winter Trussell since June of 2003, Heritage Veterinary Hospital provides all veterinary medical needs for your dog, cat, ferret, rabbit or rodent.
Our skilled and experienced staff strive to provide an unparalleled standard of care for your pet and outstanding customer serivce.
Karen isn't just someone likes to take care of dogs. She's a bona fide pet stylist, drawing from her experience as a groomer and vet technician to make sure dogs and cats both look and feel their best. After picking up their animals from Karen's Chic Tails Pet Boutique & Spa, owners can take pride knowing that their furry friends have been well cared for and spruced up with a bath, grooming, or pawdicure.
At Barney's Ranch, pups congregate in an 8,000-square-foot outdoor yard to chew toys and play under the supervision of loving staff. Throughout the day, dogs splash in small pools and get in shape the same way Lassie used to exercise: by rescuing each other from wells. At night, boarders settle into cageless corrals, where gentle music soothes them to sleep. Owners can monitor their pets from a distance by logging into the webcams that Barney's has set up in each of the ranch's four areas.
As the head of Carrollton Animal Hospital, Dr. Michael W. McGuire has come full circle since the high school days he spent volunteering at a veterinary clinic. His lifelong passion for animals makes him an ideal custodian of the clinic, which has served the community for a staggering 40 years. Despite its long history, the clinic boasts fully modern facilities including surgical suites, onsite blood analyzers, and a fully stocked pharmacy. Dr. McGuire uses his more than 15 years to oversee the tightly knit team of veterinary assistants and animal lovers who help him attend to dogs, cats, rabbits, and small exotic pets. The clinic offers routine animal care including checkups and dentistry, as well as surgery and preventative care—including vaccinations to protect against parasites, rabies, and ticks disguised as squeaky toys. To keep owners and pets together, the staff also performs microchipping services that can help locate pets should they go missing. Those in need of kennel services can let Fido run free in the grassy greenery of the clinic's outdoor play area and retreat at night to the indoor boarding kennel.
