Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Solid, 1 skein
Needles: 2.75 mm Addi Circular
Size: 12 mo
Knitting, yarn, fibers, felting by a knitter nutter
|This is a sweater sleeve for Mr. D. More details to follow.
Here's what it looks like on the right side. I drew an arrow where the seam is, otherwise you can't even tell (except maybe from the color change from red to green).
Now finish it off with a pom-pom and twist cords, and voila! I also crocheted around the ear flaps to even out the edges.
This method also works in the round in things like socks or bottom-up hats and sweaters, but can be a little tricky, and will be easier (possible?) to do, if you use a second circular to hold the hibernating stitches.
My modifications on the Tycus: I knit 5 sections instead of 6, and in the bottom of two of them I increased 3+3+2+1+1 stitches for the ear flap and then decreased the same symmetrically. The width of the ear flap is the same as one section, and the front is two sections and the back is one. And then I of course added the pom-pom and the cords. I cast on 40 stitches and the shortest short row was 24 stitches. In the ear flaps the middle rows end up being 34 stitches.
And if you give a girl a hat, she'll (naturally) want some mittens to go with it! There may be no end to the demand of knitted girly items now, but I'm not complaining. Knitting for girls is so much fun! The endless possibilities of colors and designs... bring it on!
"Oh, but wait!" you're thinking. "That's lace yarn... there's no way she was reading two books, studying her notes and writing an outline while working on a lace project!" And you'd be right. This picture may give you a false impression of what's doable... but it's not completely staged! I was using the lace project to calm my mind and cool my brain, while taking a break from reading. Knitting and reading is just fine, but lace and reading don't go so well together. Mostly my knitting has been simple things like socks, and such. I also started Mara, which is perfect for reading with all that garter stitch.
Fortunately, part of the fun of law school is a looong Christmas break. Like, really long! I don't remember the last time I had 4 (yes, four) weeks off! I've been relaxing and recharging and doing all kids of things that I haven't had time to do during the fall. (Although looking at the condition of the apartment, you'd think I've been too busy to even pick up dirty clothes off the floor... oops.) I don't want to abandon the blog, and I'll try to post here, when I get pictures taken of knitterly things that I've completed since the finals were over. And maybe even before finals were over.
The latest project was the Twin Peaks:
Hats for a friend's twin girls (age 9), head circumference about 50 cm. I used left over yarns from my stash, and made up the designs on the fly.
The red/gold hat is made of Tahki Donegal Tweed and Malabrigo Silky Merino. There is a two-inch lining on the inside of the Malabrigo to prevent itching and to keep the ears warm.
The purple hat is Malabrigo Merino Worsted, one of my all time favorite yarns. In this one the picot edge is about an inch and a half tall, also to keep the ears warm and toasty. The embroidery and tassle are Louet Riverstone.
Otherwise I had no problem knitting just six tenths of the pattern, and the patterns and stitch counts all behaved very well and caused me no issues.
The needle size for lace depends on the amount of empty space that is desired and how airy the resulting fabric should be. My yarn was buttery soft, quite substantial and heavy, and I didn't think it could necessarily hold up to a very "lacy" or airy structure. Plus I wanted the shawl to be quite substantial, as well, so I used a 4 mm needle. If I had just gone based on the ratio of my yarn weight and what was recommended for the yarn weights in the pattern (4 mm was recommended for the fingering weight and 6 mm for aran), I should probably have used at least 5 mm needles. The 4 mm needles produced, however, very good results, and the size, I think, is pretty perfect!

Seattle Thunder – 2013 PSP Preseason Guide
- Updated: March 9, 2013 at 3:05 PM
Seattle Thunder
2012 Recap: Before the 2012 season, Thunder was a total mystery, and after a rather successful first event, Thunder had the entire paintball world wondering if the rookie team was the real deal. Unfortunately, the going got much rougher as the season wore on and eventually Seattle fell back to the bottom half of the league. Although their play did not impress us during events 2-5, their outlook on the season and demeanor was exactly what you would hope a young pro team would have: optimistic and enjoying every moment of playing the game they love. They did have a few good matches scattered throughout the year, but their lack of experience and quality depth was the downfall for the majority of their games.
Key Players:
Blake Bearham; #22, Front, 30 PBA rank
Corey Field; #23, Back, 22 PBA rank
Bryan Strode; #32, Back, 67 PBA rank
Team Strengths:
Experienced core provides solid leadership
Accurate off the break shooters
Has potential for exponential growth
Team Weaknesses:
Rides the talent of a few
Lacks quality depth
Needs to establish playing identity
2013 Outlook: Many are already saying that Seattle belongs in the Challengers division and should be there for good reason, but we'd like to point out that Seattle had a stronger rookie season than many would have anticipated. If they are able to develop some depth and prove that they can be consistent in their execution, Seattle Thunder could be a pain in the side of the top tier programs. We don't expect to see them in the Champions finals match any time soon, but you definitely can't sleep on this team. Realistically though, we believe that they'll be at the top of the Challengers with the ability to move into the Champions at any point during the season.
Why Root for Them?: Pacific North West Ballers represent! The PAC has been a hot spot for great professional teams going back to the late 1990s when the Naughty Dogs took the world by storm. Since there demise there have been a few start up teams, but Seattle seems to be the only one that has any real staying power. The team is young, dynamic and has a good bit of growing to do before we call them seasoned professionals.

Last updated: 08/16/2006
This is your property ?
Rhom Makham, meaning 'under the tamarind tree', comprises two modern glass buildings, integrated with the beautiful natural environment that includes mature tamarind trees and ancient granite boulders. The minimalist design of vast, open-plan rooms, with 6 metre high ceilings, marble flooring, and floor to ceiling reflective glass walls, provides an incredible sense of space, while offering full immersion with the spectacular landscape. Immense rock formations are incorporated as interior features, and the native tamarind tree trunks are encapsulated in glass, with their canopies spreading out over the glass roof of the upper beach house.
The linear simplicity of the glass, aluminum, and cement structures evoke striking contrast to the lushness and colour of the surrounding tropical garden, sand, and sea, while the transparency of the towering glazed walls enables the buildings to disappear into the blue skies. For anyone who values space, modern minimalist design, and breathtaking nature, Rhom Makham is a must.
The lower, 200 mU beach house includes two floating king-size bed platforms, each perched several metres up on the rocks, with superb sea views through the facing glass wall. The two bedrooms are separated by higher levels of boulders, with a dressing area between them. Both sleeping platforms are encapsulated in glass, with air-conditioning and opaque curtains for privacy and darkness.
A frosted glass dining table seats 8 on luxurious white fur designer chairs. In the centre of the lower loft, a large marble platform daybed is covered with fur, and overlooks the pool and sea view. A large, slate-tiled bathroom with oversized shower head also makes a feature of the soulful boulders, and opens onto a rock garden with sea views.
A private 13.5x3.5 metre swimming pool, surrounded by a teak deck fronts the house, raised from the quiet beach that overlooks Koh Samui's famous Hin Ta Hin Yai landmark rock formation. Daybeds, hammocks, and an al-fresco dining set complete the idyllic beachfront setting.
The 220 mU upper beach house is elevated on top of the rocks, with its main floor level with the roof of the front beach house, which provides a 200mU roof terrace, connected by a wooden bridge, and furnished with sunbeds. While the marble floors, glass walls, and towering ceilings prevail, the layout of the upper loft is more complex, with split levels, and defined areas. An air-conditioned, glass-partitioned bedroom is fitted with a king-size bed, opaque curtains, and overlooks the sea and garden views. In the middle of the upper loft, another king-size bed with white drapes, doubles as a daybed and sleeping platform. A large Jacuzzi is set on a raised marble platform overlooking the sea, with an adjacent wooden deck. Leather designer chairs and Ottomans provide stylish seating, together with Thai day-beds, and a large, cozy chill-out nook, swathed in white fur. The chill-out nook is air-conditioned, and boxed in glass, providing an additional climate-controlled sleeping option.
A marble staircase leads up through the rocks and tamarind trees, to a glass roofed upper gallery, and a vast slate bathroom with a striking glass tub in the centre of the room that can be used for traditional Thai-style ladle bathing, and an open shower. A lower level features an office/working area, with a large glass desk.
On the beachfront, adjacent to the lower beach house, are two separate buildings, each with marble floor and counters that provide a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate storage room. Daily breakfasts are prepared by the resident housekeeper, who can also cater to additional meals and seafood BBQs if required.
Recessed halogen lighting throughout the house includes floor and ceiling dimmable lights, and suspended lanterns. Sound is channeled through recessed ceiling speakers, and other entertainment features include DVD and cable TV. Rhom Makham's Danish designer/owner sought to create a balance between the hard-edged materials of marble, steel, and natural rocks, and soft materials, providing spaces for relaxing, such as the comfortable large beds, the white furry floor beds, and soft dining chairs.
To capture and manipulate light and space has always been a quest for modern architecture; shaping houses to receive and display movements of the sun, moon and skies; creating lightness and transparency. Pioneer architects such as Mies van der Rohe, created new ideals for architecture; transparency, material lightness, free flowing spaces, minimal enclosure, spatial simplicity; ideals that has provided the inspirational background for Rhom Makham. Applying these ideals in the tropics was one of the main challenges for Rhom Makham. How to, for example, let in the hot tropical sunlight, while still keeping cool. A combination of natural cooling techniques was applied: the large Makham trees shade the roof; the big windows and doors let the sea breezes flow through the house; the expansive marble floors cool the rooms, and the immense internal boulders, some of which stand up to 5 metres high, act as natural coolants, and play an integral part to climate control in all rooms. This experimental combination of natural cooling techniques has proven to create a cool and pleasant living environment in a modern transparent setting.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Mayor expected political attacks as election nears
Mayor Richard Berry said he expected the verbal attacks from the newest mayoral candidate, Pete Dinelli.
"Anytime there's an election season people are gonna say negative things. That neither bothers me nor surprises me," Berry said.
Former city councilor and public safety director Pete Dinelli was the first big name to throw his hat in the ring for the upcoming mayoral election over the weekend, calling the current leadership "a failure."
Berry said he is still considering whether he will seek a second term. If he does, Berry said he will be his own biggest critic and hopes the race will focus on specific ways to improve the city, not just point fingers at problems.
"Tell me what you're gonna do," Berry said. "Tell me exactly how you're gonna fix a problem. Don't tell me you're gonna fire everybody and everything's gonna be better."
Berry said he will make an announcement on whether he'll run for re-election in the upcoming weeks.
Former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish said she's considering a run for office to make Albuquerque a first-class city. One of her biggest concerns is the lack of new jobs coming to the Duke City.
Denish said she's neither confirming nor denying a mayoral run just yet.

For laser hair removal to be effective, you need numerous applications. Your hair grows in stages and in the early stage (known as anagen) all the hairs are not present at the same time.

We recommend you come every four weeks so we can eradicate all the hairs permanently and effectively.
Miami Dr. Pascual uses a cutting edge laser called the Cynosure Apogee Elite Laser which is the most effective on the market today. The Apogee laser permanently removes hair with excellent efficiency and patient comfort. The revolutionary new laser combines prime wavelengths in one device; the YAG laser and the Alexandrite laser. Feel free to contact us and reserve your complimentary consutlation with Dr. Pascual.
Laser hair removal can range from $200-$600. Price largely depends on what part of the body you want treatment. Typically you must come in the office for multiple applications of the laser to ensure hair growth is gone and permanent. The Device targets only the follicule and does not cause any damage to the skin. The pain is very minimal most experience something like pin pokes if anything. Its comparable to the pain of waxing or tweezing. The good news is once you undergo this treatment, most of the times you will never have to shave again! The American Society of Plastic Surgeons claim that the average price for laser treatment nationally in the U.S. is $429. Book your consultation today with Dr. Pascual for your free quote.
The laser uses beams of light that only effect the hair follicles killing the root of the hair permanently. Its pivotal to know that hair removal should be done under the direct supervision of a doctor only. This treatment is safe and FDA approved but can be dangerous if done by someone who is not a medical professional. We apply the highest medical standards to all are patients and never will compromise our patients safety.

Comcast's 'Light' Sales, LinkedIn's Moderation, Dreamworks' 'Mr. Peabody': Media Roundup
Updated from 8:04 a.m. EDT
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Comcast (CMCSA) was falling Wednesday after the country's largest cable-TV operator reportws third-quarter sales that fell just short of analyst expectations as the company continued to lose pay-TV subscribers. Net income rose for an eighth-consecutive quarter, helped in part by a reduction in capital expenses.
Shares of the Philadelphia-based media company that also owns NBC and the Universal movie studio were dropping 1.3% to $47.11.
"This was a little bit of a mixed quarter -- revenue was a tad light," Wells Fargo media analyst Marci Ryvicker wrote in an investor note. Ryvicker rates Comcast "outperform."
Net income was $1.73 billion, or 65 cents a share, on sales of $16.2 billion. Analysts were expecting sales of $16.24 billion. Revenue comparisons for the same quarter a year ago were impacted by the summer Olympics in London, carried by NBC. Excluding the Olympics, sales rose 5.2%.
Earnings exceeded an average estimate of 60 cents a share despite losing 129,000 pay-TV subscribers. The decline comes amid beefed-up competition from AT&T (T) and the wider impact of alternatives such as Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu. Ryvicker, though, downplayed the importance of the drop in video customers.
"We don't worry too much on the slight y/y decline in video subs; a few thousand subs on a 21.6MM base is immaterial to us," she said.
NBCUniversal's sales were skewed by a comparison with the year-ago quarter that included the London Olympics. Excluding the summer games, the unit posted a 3.9% increase in sales. Operating cash flow jumped 22%. Broadcasting was bolstered by NBC's hit show "The Voice," generating 2.6% higher revenue to $1.64 billion.
On the film side, the movie Despicable Me 2 led 3.3% sales growth for the quarter to $1.4 billion, helping to offset a decrease in home entertainment revenue due to lower volume of new releases compared to the same period a year ago.
Cable revenue of $10.49 billion, though 5% higher than the same period a year ago, fell short of analyst expectations for $10.53 billion on lower than expected subscriber and advertising revenue.
Comcast's Parks unit benefitted from new attractions and solid attendance posting operating cash flow of $343 million, 9% above the same period a year ago, beating a consensus estimate of $327 million.
LinkedIn (LNKD), meanwhile, was tumbling Wednesday as the career-focused professional online network handed investors its usual excess -- beating analysts forecasts by a wide margin -- but tempered this time with warnings that growth is decelerating.
Shares were losing 9.8% to $223.03, trimming the stock's gain over the past year to a mere 113%. LinkedIn made clear to investors that revenue can't continue to grow at a pace in the high-double digits. Sales increased 44% in the third quarter, nearly the same as in the second quarter though half as fast as a year ago.
LNKD raised its fourth-quarter guidance but the company's forecast for sales and Ebitda -- earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization -- was below consensus. Shares currently trade at 35 times the stock's enterprise value as a percentage of its Ebitda, a level that Mark Mahaney, media analyst at RBC Capital Markets indicated that LinkedIn offers "limited upside from current levels."
Dreamworks (DWA), the film studio led by CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, was surging 18% to $32.75 on the prospect that animated films such as Mr. Peabody & Sherman and Need for Speed, both scheduled for March releases, will reverse the company's fortunes after the disappointing summer performance of Turbo, a story about a hyperactive snail.

Coral Bells – Growing Tips for Trendy Garden Plants
I'm going to share with you a garden TIP on growing Heucheras (Coral Bells) that has help me improve my success growing this popular garden plant.
Ever since all those new foliage colors in Coral Bells have come out – I've been sucked into this coral bell craze. The wide color range, neat habit and tiny spikes of flowers are perfect for tucking in borders, along pathways and containers.
But here are a few guidelines I've used in the past few years that have worked for me when deciding on what trendy foliage color to use and where I'm going to place it.
Plant in good, well drained soil where it will receive a minimum of 1″ water a week.
1) Dark foliage types – are more sun tolerant. Berry Smoothie Coral Bells is ravishing in this garden bed – soaking in the rays and looking brilliant.
Plant in: full sun or morning shade and afternoon sun.
My experience with Obsidian and Midnight Rose is that the more sun it receives the more brilliant the color becomes
2) Light foliage types – need protection from hot afternoon sun. Even with that said, by August the foliage color
will still fade.
Plant: Morning sun, afternoon shade
You will have different results depending on what region of the country you are from, but for me in my Michigan garden, these simply guidelines really help me enjoy Heucheras even more.
Hardy Ice Plant – Drought Proof Groundcover Growing Tips
Delosperma is a tough drought proof groundcover for hot, dry places like curbs and driveways. Hardy Ice Plant is low growing with green succulent foliage and stunning flowers that bloom non-stop all summer long while thriving in heat, humidity and little water.
Given the right spot and growing conditions, it will bloom most of the summer and thrive in your garden.
I hear a lot of feedback from gardeners that have difficult growing and/or overwintering Delosperma. This beautiful ground cover is very, VERY fussy about drainage. If you don't have SUPER sharp drainage, you should probably opt for growing Sedum or SedumSod – an instant colorful groundcover.
If I were to grow in containers, I would add gravel or cactus to sharpen the drainage in the soil.
Delosperma is ideal for strips along a driveway (where it is often more gravelly) or rock garden. Right plant – right place as the saying goes.

Hydrangea Growing Tips For Hot Climates
Can you grow Hydrangeas in southern California? We received this beautiful picture of a glorious Hydrangea garden from one of our customers (Pat from southern California). Pat not only has a beautiful garden but shares a few helpful growing tips about gardening with Hydrangeas in a desert climate of southern California.
"As you can see I LOVE hydrangeas. I currently have about 250+ plants. I was so happy to add some new varieties from your collection and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. It would be an honor to have you use the photo in your blog–even if it definitely shows my hydrangea addiction. The most important hint I have, especially for this area, is to water them everyday in the summer months. Shade also is very important to protect them from the 100++ degree temperatures we often have."
Thank you Pat for your inspiration! Have some gardening tips & pictures you would like to share? Send them to email@example.com. We love to inspire other gardeners!
Brunnera Jack Frost – 2012 Perennial Plant of the Year – Growing Tips
Since its discovery, Brunnera Jack Frost PP 13,859 has won numerous awards including Perennial Plant of the Year in 2012 and Best New Perennial of the Year at Plantarium, The Netherlands. Jack Frost has warmed the hearts of many gardeners both new and experienced. I can't think of a more beautiful deer proof shade plant and one that is so adaptable in perennial garden design.
Few shade perennials have such interesting silver foliage throughout the season. This clump forming perennial is a versatile groundcover grows 15-18″ tall x 15-18″ wide. Hardy to zone 5 (probably hardier)
In spring, small oblong leaves gradually grow into larger heart-shaped leaves after the conclusion of the flowering period. Beautiful, wispy panicles of sky blue flowers appear in early spring.
How To Grow
- Does best in moisture retentive soil in part shade. In my area of the country (Michigan) it can take some pretty dry shade.
- Plant in area where it receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Watch for too much sun or hot spots.
- Don't worry that the leaves are small in spring – they will get much larger (5-8″ across) as the plant grows.
- Best in moist soil. Add 3 inches of mulch to keep moist
- If you notice crispy leaf edges – plants are getting too dry. I ofte cut these leaves all the way back. Plants might stay dormant for a while before flushing out with new foliage growth.
- Cut back blooms after fading. Plants stays more attractive that way.
Here's what you'll love about this plant
- Silver shade plant. Why is that important? Silver infuses light into dark corners of the shade garden
- Foliage stays colorful and attractive throughout the season
- Blue flowers in spring – which compliments spring blooming bulbs
- Easy to grow – Prefers consistent moisture
- Low Maintenance
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
- No serious insects or disease issues
- Late evening gardening – still visible at dusk
- It's just plain gorgeous!

Immensely detailed and scholarly books can be found on the history of skiing in Europe. Luckily for the reading public, no such works about American skiing are possible. It took centuries for skiing to spread from Finland to the Alps; over here events began to happen in the late twenties at a clip no chronicler could follow. Looking back over this compressed and scrambled segment of history, many important competitions are but the haziest of memories, while certain unrecorded incidents stand out sharply. Imagine, for example, a downhill race in Newport, New Hampshire, on a very hot day in August. And this was no dream.
The ski madness had but recently infected a lot of people in New England. It had hit them hard; like firewater and the red man. Skiers just couldn't wait for next winter to come, and some misguided fanatic had discovered pine needles were slippery. Being in the ski business, we felt obliged to go along with the idea. As I remember it, a couple of us outstripped the field, having cheated by gluing celluloid to our ski bottoms.
All known technique was useless. The only way to turn was to jump. You had to fend off the pine trees with your poles. We ended up not only bleeding and bruised, but completely black. Dives into pine needles encrusted everything but our eyeballs with dirt, pitch, and sweat. It really combined two sports - skiing and tar-and-feathering.
Fortunately some wandering skiers around that time discovered that winter comes to Chile when summer comes to New England. The thrilling sport of pine-needle skiing was finished.
Out-of-season skiing—on pine slopes, sand dunes, and indoor deathtraps lined with borax was just one of many odd results of the sudden craze. "Dry-skiing" classes-in-city gyms were mobbed by eager novices. (Memories of lining up a hundred women in the Y.W.C.A., all in their skiing gear, and putting them through kick turns and stembogens—what a clatter!) A smart shoe manufacturer made a fortune out of "ladies" ski boots; the things had pointed toes and couldn't be fitted to any kind of binding.
Many optimists, showing up for lessons in downhill running, were outfitted with Finnish langlauf skis about ten feet long and two inches wide. One chap went around trying to sell a binding of his own invention we called "the bear trap." It gripped the whole leg up to the knee in an arrangement of ratchets, levers, toggles, and springs, and must have weighed twenty-five pounds.
Among my own modest contributions were metal edges made out of bronze clock springs, a patented ski with a stepped bottom, and a technique known as "figure skiing." Using eight-foot double-ended skis, it enabled the skier to approximate, somewhat loosely, much of the repertoire of Sonja Henie.
We even had the temerity to try figure skiing in Austria, where it was received with something less than enthusiasm. I went out alone for a limbering-up of spins and outer-edges on a vast Arlberg slope one afternoon. Coming back to the village I met Herr Direktor of the ski school; he was a sort of regional dictator of everything pertaining to the sport. He stopped. I stopped. He peered at the upturned points of the rear ends of my long skis. Then he said, "Shees for dancing, hey?", roared with laughter, and went on his way. "Very funny, you old goat," I muttered at his departing back. Afterward I took a feeble revenge by doing telemarks around his classes and inviting the instructors to try them. It was strictly verboten to be seen skiing in any other style than that ordained by the master. But some of our American innovations were destined to develop the sport considerably and were later adopted in Europe.
In the early days we had to import all our equipment. A ski was made of one solid piece of wood and could be broken by a bad spill. As a result, we had hundreds of skis smashed for every leg that was broken. Then we started to mass-produce laminated skis, and soon after, metal ones. These are so superior that now we have hundreds of legs smashed for every broken ski.
In the early years we were at great pains to sell the public our belief that skiing was a safe sport. We must have overdone it, because we were besieged by many specimens that would have caused veteran European instructors to throw in the sponge. There were retired bankers in their late seventies who had even given up golf. One large Boston matron, insisting on lessons, probably hadn't taken so much as a short walk in years. With such formidable girth and battlements, when she caught an edge it was like a mighty pine toppling. We would have to round up all hands to get her back on her feet again.
In New Hampshire a few of us took up skiing because the most glamorous alternative winter occupation was the cutting of cordwood. We learned the Norwegian system, which emphasized a graceful, upright posture. The technique was well explained in a book by an Englishman published around 1920. There were many photos of the author in action. He wore knickerbockers, white gaiters, tweed jacket, and square-visored cap, and sported a luxuriant mustache. In every maneuver the straight briar pipe in his mouth lent him an air of calm nonchalance. And his posture was always very upright and graceful. This posture came in handy much later. After some fifteen years of sliding about the slopes all, doubled up in a most uncomfortable squat known as the Arlberg crouch, it again became fashionable to stand erect.

Well, truthfully we're pretty low key. Big did seem to enjoy his 18th birthday—the food was plenty hearty, and I think that for fellows his age, hearty food is key. The weather and setting were perfect. The guests were polite and appreciative, and the Mister and I enjoyed the afternoon as well.
Here's some of the gear, ready for loading into the van. The centerpiece featured an old picnic cooler rescued from my great uncle's garage. It is always a hit at casual parties.
Here I am with the birthday boy and Lovely Girlfriend, who was a big help with the invitation list and setting up. Big is crazy for Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, so I made several batches of the vanilla with chocolate buttercream frosting to create his 18 "cake." We replenished these all afternoon and still were able to send some home with Lovely to share with her roommates.I bought this bread board years ago, and I have loved serving from it. Usually I use it for cheese and fruit, but I thought the cupcakes worked well, too. Cheeseburgers, grilled to perfection by dear friend Old Bean, were a big hit.We put enamel plates of fun-sized candies on each table. The cloth was a heavy muslin with a blue-and-white ticking overlay in the center. Some of the gang. Good friends (Old Bean and the Redhead) gave Big a new tire for his Jeep. The Mister and I gave the other three. When Big unwrapped the tire, the boys let out an audible and collective "oooh" of appreciation while the girls exchanged glances. Who knew tires would be such a hit? Our recyclables, about halfway through the day. Don't worry, the brown bottles are from root beer.
With all the planning and cooking, my gift wrapping skills sank to a new low—I didn't want to get "caught" wrapping Big's other gifts, so instead of going downstairs for boxes, gift wrap, and tissue paper, I just snagged some bags and newspaper ads. I don't think it's going to be a trend.
For more birthday fun, check out Suburban Princess and It's a Golden Day. It's a big week for birthdays!

Many natural and artificial networks evolve in time. Nodes and connections appear and disappear at varioustime scales, and their dynamics has profound consequences for any processes in which they are involved. Thefirst empirical analysis of the temporal patterns characterizing dynamic networks are still recent, so that manyquestions remain open. Here, we study how random walks, as a paradigm of dynamical processes, unfold ontemporally evolving networks. To this aim, we use empirical dynamical networks of contacts between individuals,and characterize the fundamental quantities that impact any general process taking place upon them. Furthermore,we introduce different randomizing strategies that allow us to single out the role of the different properties ofthe empirical networks. We show that the random walk exploration is slower on temporal networks than it ison the aggregate projected network, even when the time is properly rescaled. In particular, we point out that afundamental role is played by the temporal correlations between consecutive contacts present in the data. Finally,we address the consequences of the intrinsically limited duration of many real world dynamical networks.Considering the fundamental prototypical role of the random walk process, we believe that these results couldhelp to shed light on the behavior of more complex dynamics on temporally evolving networks.

WASHINGTON—Newly released documents provide a road map of how the government tried to mount a no-holds-barred legal attack against journalists suspected of leaking military secrets.
But the memos weren't about the current-day Bradley Manning case. They came after a disclosure 71 years ago about World War II's Battle of Midway and show the U.S. has long wrestled with how to square national security and press freedom.

Teacher of the Year – David Donnelley
Posted By Jody Purdom On May 17, 2012 @ 11:30 am In News | Comments Disabled
Long-time educator David Donnelley will be honored as Teacher of the Year at a celebration on Friday, May 18 starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Temple Lodge at 669 Broadway.
Donnelley has been a teacher for 28 years, the last 19 of them in Sonoma. Having taught most every subject, he currently teaches College Prep and Honors Economics at Sonoma Valley High School.
Of the honor, Donnelley humbly declined to take credit saying that when senior students arrive in his classroom, they've already been prepared by the best of the Sonoma Valley Unified School District's teachers, making his job all that much easier. "I get to piggyback off of all the work their K-11 teachers have done. Because Sonoma's teachers function as a team, students are snapped in and ready to go when they walk into my class."
In addition to being a top educator, Donnelley once co-founded a successful biotechnology company that was sold to the Japanese in 1988. He has held board positions in education since the early 70s including being a founding board member of the Sonoma Charter School. He currently sits on the board of both the Sonoma Teaching Project and the Sonoma Valley High School Development Trust.
The Temple Lodge has honored a Sonoma Valley Teacher of the Year since 1997 and provides annual scholarships to graduating Sonoma Valley High School seniors.

Gossip Girl Round Table: "Easy J"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Welcome back to another edition of TVF's Gossip Girl Round Table, where our panelists break down Monday's episode (see our review of "Easy J" from this morning).
Below, chief Gossip Girl critic Mister Meester joins TVF shot-callers Gossip Guy and DANdy for a discussion of GG quotes, plot holes, raccoons, schemes and cleavage ...
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from last night?
Gossip Guy: I quite enjoyed Jenny comparing Chuck and Blair to the level of the Cold War with their mutual destruction.
Mister Meester: Chuck, in full-on raspy-voiced scheming mode, telling Dan that he should be a writer. Unlike Blair at the NYU party, he surely knows Dan is. I also liked Lily's "reverse psychology," which was really just stating facts about S.
DANdy: Blair comparing her underlings' lack of accomplishments to Congress. So sad, so true. Penelope does bear an eerie resemblance to Nancy Pelosi.
2. Jenny's short-lived comeback: Good times or good riddance?
Gossip Guy: Good riddance. Jenny's little comeback just felt like deja vu. How many times do I need to see Daddy Dan lecture her on how she shouldn't stoop to Blair and Chuck's level? Girl shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as them.
Mister Meester: Good times. People have their issues with J, and plenty of them have merit. But let's face it, she kicked the drama up an extra notch, only to one-up Chair, hit the road again and leave us wanting more. Well, us meaning me at least.
DANdy: Wait, that was Jenny?!? I didn't recognize her without six gallons of eye make-up on.3. Most unbelievable: Juliet's brother texting from prison, Tim Gunn's acting job when he ended Jenny's interview, or Serena's chest?
Gossip Guy: Haha, thank you Mister Meester for asking this question, because the second I saw the text during the episode I was waiting to bring this up in the round table. Then I saw Serena's chest in that outfit. Then I forgot the question.
Mister Meester: Triple tie? The minions' hijacking of J's dresses deserves props, but Tim's feigning shock over them does not. Texting from prison? Hilarious. Lil Wayne was thrown in solitary for sneaking headphones in there and Ben's just Blackberrying up a storm?
Finally, as for Serena's chest ... let's all just give a round of applause to the show's costume department, shall we? And to Blake Lively's parents. Great work.
DANdy: The texting from prison. I've heard of minimum security, but never maximum minutes!
OH, IT HURTS: Chuck set out to destroy Blair, and pretty much succeeded. But seeing what he did, coupled with a stinging rebuke by Jenny, left him wanting to call off the war.
4. The Colin-Juliet connection: Great twist or too many plot holes?
Gossip Guy: Great twist. So did Colin just buy Serena? If so, get me Juliet's address, cause I will send her a blank check.
Mister Meester: If nothing else, the writers have kept me intrigued for six weeks now regarding Juliet. I just hope the payoff is worth it and can make up for several obvious, dubious questions, such as how the heck Juliet and Colin both ended up at Columbia.
DANdy: It was a great twist with too many plot holes. In other words: it was exactly why I watch Gossip Girl.
5. Will Chuck and Blair really call a truce?
Gossip Guy: Sure, until one of them finds a new significant other. Or until November sweeps next month. Then you better believe all hell will break loose again.
Mister Meester: I predict a lengthy document ironing out the terms of their peace treaty. Then I predict said document will be pushed off the table they have sex on.
DANdy: Yes. Then they'll call a car service and get it on in the backseat as a form of reconciliation. We know how much they enjoy it that way.

In this ending of the war between Chuck and Blair, I thought the slant gave Blair quite the beating. To have her former lover give her away for his hotel, sleep with her wannabe, then go off & start a new relationship with another, then bring his new love to live him, while showing everyone how he can be a better man for her, and then wage a war against the "love of his life," because she acted in petty jealousy and spite, did nothing to redeem his character, and showed how much of a doormat they made Blair into. This war was not a war, it was purely chuck lashing out, and Blair lashing back in defense. I think Blair should have tried to step back from her jealousy & just leave Chuck to this new life & love. It would have been hard, but better for her, and I understand him lashing out, but if he truly knew her as much as he proclaimed for 2 1/2 seasons, then he would have known she was lying about not loving him. She was just guarding herself from hurt. If he opened his eyes, he could see that there must be a reason why she was single, why she would so deceitfully try to get Eva out of the picture, and why she stays more than arms length away from him - she's still in love. I thought the episode was fine, except for the so-called smack down on Chuck & Blair with the GG virginity blast. I thought this spoke volumes about where Jenny's character went. Yes, she was hazed and belittled, but she chose to make an effort to join that clique, knowing that was their method of indoctrination. Yes, it was awful to have lost her virginity in such a regretful manner, but she chose to give it to someone she knew was in love with another. Yes, Blair has been mean to her, but she chose to get in between Blair's personal relationships, which would make anyone lash out. It seemed more than cruel to embarrass someone by revealing that you're the reason why she's broken-hearted. I know they turned it into a reputation thing, but any person knows that it hurts to be cheated on but to have it publicized just makes it hurt over and over again, along with embarrassment because your mate has shown to prove what you feared, that you meant so very little. This was coupled with everything else chuck had been putting her through, along with a betrayal of her protégé turned rival. I felt sad that they made characters that you grow to like into either cruel or pathetic caricatures. But I suppose producers, writers, etc. don't mind this as long as they create buzz, even at the price of their characters. I think it interesting that the bandage they propose to put on this is 'hate sex' between a favored couple. I do enjoy watching the chemistry portrayed by Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick but I don't think the writers, producers, etc. should kill their character's credibility and believability just to see how far they can take it. Most people do want an element of relatability to characters that they've grown to like. Hopefully there won't be a complete suspension of reality and characters won't dive deeper into the abyss.
i melted for her when he took her hand (even i had sparks!), and i melted for him when she told him to see himself out and he simply said "i know the way" and i love that they showed them standing on either side of the door - damn that doooor!
I would like to remind everyone that this show is a Josh Schwartz drama, not a documentary. Ofcourse there are some silly aspects, but we watch for entertainment and you need to have a certain willing suspension of disbelief. I think this season is great so far...I like that most of them are at Columbia, this cast is best when they're together and have common ground. Frankly I'd be happy if all the Brooklyn people just left the show and were replaced with new castmembers that the Fab Four met in college. Dan, Vanessa, Jenny...they offer nothing. Well, to be fair, Jenny brings drama, but how long can she be so stupid and angst-ridden? And yes, Blair told her not to return to the city but if you will all remember in last season's finale, her parents made the decision to send her to Hudson to finish her senior year, she's not just gone b/c Blair told her to leave!
I'll start with the good: Chuck and Blair's last scene was a good one and I can't wait for the hate sex to start. Those two have so much chemistry and sexual tension...they're great and i'm glad they'll temporarily stop trying to kill eachother.
I like the Juliet drama b/c it adds some mystery to the show. I hope they develop the story line well and it's not stupid when it all comes out. I like Colin (he's on Mad Men too!) and it's nice for Serena to be with someone who's Nate or Dan. Speaking of them, Dan offers NOTHING to the show. He and Vanessa need to be shipped off together. No one would even notice their absence. Nate only offers his looks. His acting is horrible, his character is an idiot and he is pretty useless. Jenny needs to stay gone. Period.
I completely Agree with Rinat.
This episode was very embarrassing. Absolutely nothing made sense and not in the usual fun GG way but in a ridiculous stupid way that makes you cringe.
This whole idea that some 20 year old from the upper east side can determine whether a 16 year old is allowed to live in Manhattan or not... seriously! Jenny has parents who couldn't care less about silly little Blair and her rules.
The revenge thing can be fun as long as its made with humor and irony but this is just infuriatingly absurd.
Also the writer's desperate attempt to recreate the tension between Chuck and Blair is a total fail. Chuck is a cliche of his former self and Blair is so pathetic that I have no sympathy left for her.
Together they are now as dull as toast to the point where Man bangs is the best character on the show right now- and thats saying something!!
Blake Lively's boobs are due to the skill of her surgeon....as are her new nose and lips. Google it.
I still like her though, and I think she was mad pretty before the surgery.
The best quote award should easily go to Chuck for telling Dan he'd let him get back to his Hemingway complex. Second place to Penelope for her love of bottle blond recon, because while nobody ever talks about J's horrible dye job, it was nice to hear the writers acknowledge that it looks like the work of a 12-year old DIY project in the parents' bathroom.
unfortunately, here in brazil they do a lot more than text from prison..
I loveee GG. All the episodes have been thoroughly entertaining. I LOVE CHAIR. Keep it up GG!!
This to me was the best episode by far of season two.
As much as I hated the return of Little J, I do have to admit that it was good having her back, to give off the good type of drama that people actually want to see. I kind of miss you Jenny :)
Dan and Nate seriously are worthless to the show now. Dan is out playing daddy to Jenny and Nate just happens to be the guy with a Dad in jail. These two are pathetic.
Every single dress that Serena have worn to any party, there is always a gap between her chest and every episode that gap seems to just get bigger. At first i find it annoying because its demeaning to the actress but since she's not that good of an actress I guess the stylist needs to dressy up her character so viewers won't ay attention to her.
Ugh!!! Can Chuck please stop wearing both hideous bath robes?! There is nothing attractive about them. Can he not wear a tux in his home. I understand he may have to wear it in other places but at least let him take off the jacket and tie/bowtie in his house.
I love the ending of Chuck and Blair. Best scene of the entire episode. They hav amazing chemistry. I almost cry when she shut the door, although Chuck was a complete bitch to her. I love Blair's dress at the party. She is soooo beautiful.
I can't wait for next episode. The promo looks goooooood. Chair Forever!!!

Hydro Recovery LP is a manufacturer of Hydraulic Stimulation Fluid (HSF™). The process utilizes high total dissolved solids fluids (HTDSF) from the exploration of natural gas and turns it into a beneficial use.
How it works
Hydro Recovery takes for free on board (FOB) HTDSF otherwise known as drilling fluids, "frac water," "flowback water," "production water," and other liquid waste such as top hole water, tank cleangings, frac sand, etc. from natural gas companies drilling in the Marcellus Shale Formation who purchase our product. The frac water is used as a raw material in the manufacturing of our product – Hydraulic Stimulation Fluid.
Hydro Recovery has developed new economical technology, with NO SURFACE DISCHARGE, that will process the HTDSF or frac water into a product useable in the hydraulic fracturing process; thereby reducing the need for disposal of high total dissolved solids (TDS) water into the Commonwealth's waterways and greatly reducing the number of gallons of fresh water to be withdrawn for natural gas drilling. The Hydro Recovery process removes suspended solids and other contaminates. The resulting HSF™ saves chemical additives in the fracking process, provides maximum protection of the gas reservoir and prevents scaling. When compared to blending and recycling flowback, HSF™ protects the gas reservoir by:
HSF™ is "not considered a waste" by the PA Department of Environmental Protection once it arrives at a well site and is beneficially used by pumping it down the well hole. It will be considered a product for PA regulatory purposes. At full plant capacity, one of Hydro's facilities could save 105 million gallons of precious fresh water from withdrawal annually and can save 142 million pounds of TDS discharge into our streams. 100% of all water coming into the plant either as frac water or to process the HSF™ will be sold as a product to natural gas companies. The resulting solid waste filter cake will be taken to a permitted landfill. The following chart is an example of chemical composition of the resulting HSF™ product; however, since our product is customizable we may be able to adjust the design quality to meet your specific design parameter needs:
Another product that Hydro Recovery has also developed is manufactured by taking raw Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Water and treating it to meet the quality needs of natural gas companies who want to use it in fracturing Marcellus Shale horizontal wells; this product will be called NPW-A. AMD water is an environmental hazard which kills fish, plants and other aquatic life in hundreds of miles of streams in Pennsylvania. By using treated AMD water instead of freshwater, Hydro is working with natural gas companies to improve the environment by cleaning up polluted water and being a good environmental steward. Hydro Recovery will also be able to sell raw AMD water called AMD-A.

|Revised Standard Version (RSV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.
|1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
|2 Now Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
|2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.
|3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
|3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier
|4 to the place where he had made an altar at the first; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
|4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the LORD.
|5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents,
|5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
|6 so that the land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together,
|6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.
|7 and there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. At that time the Canaanites and the Per'izzites dwelt in the land.
|7 And quarreling arose between Abram's herdsmen and the herdsmen of Lot. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
|8 Then Abram said to Lot, "Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are kinsmen.
|8 So Abram said to Lot, "Let's not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herdsmen and mine, for we are brothers.
|9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left."
|9 Is not the whole land before you? Let's part company. If you go to the left, I'll go to the right; if you go to the right, I'll go to the left."
|10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw that the Jordan valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zo'ar; this was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomor'rah.
|10 Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, toward Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
|11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan valley, and Lot journeyed east; thus they separated from each other.
|11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:
|12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, while Lot dwelt among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom.
|12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot lived among the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom.
|13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.
|13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
|14 The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
|14 The LORD said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west.
|15 for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your descendants for ever.
|15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.
|16 I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your descendants also can be counted.
|16 I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.
|17 Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you."
|17 Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."
|18 So Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the LORD.
|18 So Abram moved his tents and went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.

Love Blooms in SpringJune 14, 201253
Cinco de Mayo Wedding
Kari and Jim are an awesome couple that are recent transplants to the midwest and St. Louis. Kari found us a year and a half ago at a bridal show, and, although we talked in the year leading up to the wedding, we didn't actually meet them face to face until about a month before. We caught up with them at Schlafly Tap Room (which, side note, is amazing if you haven't been - you must get the pretzels with the warm cheese sauce....mmmm...just thinking about it makes me want to drop everything and go there for lunch!) and had a great time getting to know them more before the wedding. Since they recently moved here for work, most of their family and friends were coming in from out of town for the wedding. And I have to say that I love when I see that. Since Joel and I are so big on building relationships with people, we love it when we see people that are so committed to their friends that they travel across the country to be with them as they celebrate the next phase of their journey together!
Their wedding was a lot of firsts for me (Shannon). The ceremony took place in the Old Cathedral, near the Arch grounds. I had never been there before. It is a really beautiful old church, and the ceremony was lovely. From there we went to Lafayette Square Park and Ricardo's on the square, which Jim and Kari love. It was such a fun atmosphere as all their close friends came with for photos and helped them celebrate before going on to the reception, which was held at the 9th Street Abbey. I had never been there before either (it's crazy that I've lived here for almost 3 years and there are still so many places I haven't been :) ). The staff was wonderful, and it was simply beautiful! The courtyard where cocktail hour was held was so charming, you didn't even feel like you were in the city. Since the wedding took place on Cinco de Mayo, Jim and Kari decided to give a nod to the holiday with a student mariachi band. It was awesome! If you are looking for a classic, beautiful, and all around amazing venue, this place is up near the top. I would DEFINITELY recommend checking it out. Jackie is the one that called the shots around there, and she is a delight to work with. Since the wedding took place on Cinco de Mayo, Jim and Kari decided to give a nod to the holiday with a student mariachi band. It was awesome!
We are so glad we got to be a part of your celebration as you begin your new life as husband and wife! Congratulations Kari and Jim!

If you're a documentary fan, then check out Thin, an amazing little film from HBO. Thin explores the progression of several women who are residents in an eating disorder recovery centre in the United States. One resident is a wayward teen and another is a university educated psychiatric nurse; it quickly becomes apparent that anorexia doesn't discriminate based on age or education. But, I wonder – given that nearly every one of the residents was Caucasian – if there are some patterns related to ethnicity...? But, I digress...
The women in the centre are each close to or under(!) a hundred pounds and still believe that they have weight to lose. They obsess over every morsel ingested, and then try their damndest to eliminate those morsels by either vomiting or using diuretics, or squeezing the food out of their feeding tubes (yuck!). Sometimes they hide food rather than eating it at all. It's an enormous struggle – and a tearful event – when one woman is obliged to eat a whole cupcake. With psyches this complex, it's no wonder that the women have to receive treatment from a whole team of practitioners: counselors, doctors, dieticians, and others.
The film is really well made. It definitely shows the women in an unvarnished light, and the viewer will at times feel both repulsed and sympathetic. But ultimately, this is not a film about anorexia. It does not explain how anorexia comes about or can be prevented; it does not speculate about why or how these particular women fell victim to such skewed views of body and food. Rather, this is a film about women; about feelings; about obsession. And like a lot of other HBO productions, there is no happy ending offered. Indeed, the fates that befall some of the women who are forced to leave the centre are quite saddening. But this isn't suggary scripted TV; it's real life. Er - I guess I should say: It's not TV. It's HBO. So be prepared for a bit of grit.
Browse some of our documentaries today! And if docs aren't your thing, then check out HBO's dramatic shows. Six Feet Under, The Sopranos and Rome are all fabulous!

Syrah in a rather Old World style, with an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and lovely length. Fresher than a wine with a 3.95 pH has any right to be. This vineyard was grafted over to pinot grigio after the 2004 harvest, said Schoener.Author: Stephen Tanzer

The wine is immediately rich and forward, with aromas of pulverized huckleberries and hints of smoke infused plum. The flavors are refreshingly pure and straightforward with a layered feel to the intense black and purple skinned stone fruits.Drink Dates: 2006-2010
