Why Indie Movies Aren't An Endangered SpeciesFeatures By Scott Beggs on February 1, 2011 | Be the First To Comment
If you've ever wondered about the intimate hell of finding financing for an independent film, Edward Epstein has written a strongly worded, easy to understand primer on the subject that should be required reading for anyone even remotely interested in making their own film through traditional channels. As a (frustrating) standard, his essay is incredibly compelling, but even though his points are all correct, his ultimate conclusions about the possible negative fate of indie movies is slightly off. It's not independent movies that are endangered. It's the corporately-sponsored brand most have gotten used to that's really in trouble.
Talking Heads: The Sundance Also RisesFeatures By Scott Beggs on January 21, 2011 | Comments (1)
Every week, Landon Palmer and Cole Abaius log on to their favorite chat client of 1996 as NoWaveSurfer and KeatonRox2738 in order to discuss some topical topic of interest. This week, the purported death of indie films that's reported upon faithfully every year (at least 4 times a year). In the face of the Independent Film's best friend festival beginning this weekend, we tackle the real question: Indie films can't actually be dead, can they?
'Godzilla' Reboot Finds A Director With Monster ExperienceMovie News By Rob Hunter on January 4, 2011 | Comments (5)
This is one of those good news bad news situations. Everyone loves an underdog story, and that's where we'll begin. Gareth Edwards directed a (very) small film called Monsters that saw him multi-tasking like a mad man in the role of director, writer, special effects wizard, best boy, and more, all for under a few hundred thousand dollars. The story followed two strangers forced to walk through a near future Mexico that is now home to giant alien creatures. He garnered heaps of critical praise for both the film and his ingenuity as the film made the rounds on the festival circuit, and that attention led to it being acquired by Magnolia for a limited theatrical release. That in turn led to Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures offering Edwards the director's chair on a big budget studio film. That's the good news. Yay for the little guy! The bad news? That big budget studio film is the remake of Godzilla.
The Reject Report Sees Saw on a 3D SeesawBox Office By Jeremy Kirk on October 29, 2010 | Be the First To Comment
As Admiral Ackbar so phlegmingly exclaimed, "It's a trap!" You sit down in your seat at the movie theater to see the latest (last?) Saw film, you put on your 3D glasses, this triggers a wire to pull which drops a marble down a shoot which knocks over a pin which falls onto a switch which turns some gears which opens a doorway which allows a bowling ball to roll out which bumps into and starts a lawn mower which blows up and pops a balloon which causes a chicken to lay an egg which turns some more gears which opens Mikey's front gate which turns some levers which opens a trap door which drops millions upon millions of dollars into Lionsgate's pockets. That's how that works. At least, I think it's how it works. Maybe I shouldn't be covering box office reports.
Interview: 'Monsters' Director Gareth Edwards On Pushing His Actors, Delays Caused By Prison Riots, and Stretching a Micro BudgetFeatures By Scott Beggs on October 28, 2010 | Be the First To Comment
Gareth Edwards is a funny man. You might not know that just from seeing his feature film debut Monsters. You also might not know it from the things he had to do to get the film made. Edwards speaks with the casual tone of a seasoned pro, and after seeing heads on spikes, making his actors eat ants, and making a CGI-heavy film with almost no money, he might just be a few years ahead of his own resume. I got the chance to speak with Edwards, whose film comes out Friday October 29th, and we spoke about the advice he has for aspiring filmmakers, the challenges of shooting in South America and why the worst day of his life happened during production.
31 Days of Horror: The New Daughter31 Days of Horror By Robert Fure on October 19, 2010 | Comments (4)
When the calendar page turns to October, we Rejects have only one thought: horror. To celebrate this grandest and darkest of months, we'll cover one excellent horror film a day for the entirety of the month. That's 31 Days of Horror and 31 Films perfect for viewing on a dark, chilly, October night. If you, like us, love horror and Halloween, give us a Hell Yeah and keep coming every day this month for a new dose of adrenaline. Synopsis: John (Costner) moves his two children to a house well outside of town, looking to escape the pain of his recent divorce. His troubled teenage daughter Louisa seeks solace in the woods behind surrounding the house, but after she becomes infatuated with a mysterious mound and begins acting strangely, things at the home go from strained to strange. Killer Scene: Without giving away too much, the entire last twenty or thirty minutes of the movie is awesome and unexpected. To give you a taste, let's just say Kevin Costner grabs his shotgun, messes some shit up, and then goes out to take care of that mound once and for all, via violence!
The Movie Watcher's Guide To October 2010Features By FSR Staff on October 6, 2010 | Comments (6)
We realize that you're probably sitting at home right now, chewing your own nails off and wondering what movies are coming out this month. Maybe you're even wondering why no one on the entire internet has said anything about them by now. Strange, we know. Fortunately, Rob Hunter and Cole Abaius spent the entire month of September searching EBSCO Host, making phone calls to important producers and making fan trailers out of peanut butter and marshmallows to make sure that you, dear reader, are in the know about what's coming out in October. Wondering why it's a few days late? Because we don't run it until it's perfect. Or something. Anyway, just check out the movies to see what you wanna see.
Gareth Edwards, Timur Bekmambetov Get Humane Without HumanityIn Development By Scott Beggs on September 14, 2010 | Be the First To Comment
Gareth Edwards, who you might get to know better after the release of his ultra-low budget film Monsters in October, has already found a next project that continues the science fiction slant. He's teaming with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov (who will produce) on a project with no title or plot synopsis except the vague statement that it will be: "an epic human story, set in a futuristic world without humanity." Clearly, they're making Wall-E 2. [Deadline Pluto]
'Monsters' Trailer Thinks You Should Be QuietMovie News By Scott Beggs on August 17, 2010 | Comments (3)
The tone of the thing may oversell the giant monster movie aspect of what is essentially an unscripted drama taking place in the stomping grounds of the extra-terrestrials who have now taken up residence in Northern Mexico, but I realize as I write that sentence that it stills seems incredibly cool. The FSR team got to see Gareth Edwards's Monsters when it hit Austin for SXSW. The reactions were mixed, but I honestly loved the film. It's got a creativity and low-budget bargaining that makes it look like a million bucks (for much less than a million bucks). Plus, the lead actors (Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able) have the burden of carrying the entire film. Fortunately, they're charismatic enough to do it. This first trailer doesn't give much of an eye into that world, but it should do a bit to tease you with the things that go boom in the night.

If you spent any time checking out our SXSW coverage, you probably noticed a few pieces on Monsters, the romance/horror/alien-love-making-movie-that-isn't-Splice movie from director Gareth Edwards. You probably also noticed that, like most movies coming out of festivals, there wasn't a release date for you to hang your excitement on. Without it, your excitement just sat there in the air like a man waiting for a bus in the rain. Fortunately for your excitement, he can rejoice, because his metaphorical bus has arrived.

Justin Hurd's defense team couldn't block his conviction this week for a 2008 triple murder in north Charlotte.
Starting Wednesday, they'll try to save his life.
A Mecklenburg County jury convicted Hurd on Monday of killing Kevin Young, Kinshasa Wagstaff and Jasmine Hines six years ago. Now, in a sentencing trial that has become increasingly uncommon, those same seven men and five women must decide if the 35-year-old Ohio man spends the rest of his life in prison or becomes the sixth convicted Charlotte-area murderer placed on death row.
Recent history points toward the former.
The county has not sentenced a killer to die since 2009. A Mecklenburg murderer hasn't been executed in nine years.
North Carolina and many states around the country have seen a radical drop in death penalty trials, death penalty sentences and executions. Nationally, 79 death sentences were handed down in 2013 compared with a peak of 315 in 1994 and 1996.
Here, the state has operated for almost a decade under a de facto moratorium on capital punishment due to a series of lawsuits challenging state-sponsored executions.
No one has been put to death in North Carolina since 2006. The last Mecklenburg County inmate executed, Elias Syriani of Charlotte, died by lethal injection in 2005. He was accused of stabbing his wife with a screwdriver almost 30 times while their 10-year-old son watched.
Last year, only one death sentence was handed out statewide. In 2000, the state held 57 capital trials and sent 18 people to death row.
Hurd's trial was one of two capital trials on tap in Charlotte-Mecklenburg for 2014. Prosecutors have at least eight more cases in the pipeline.
The county's only death penalty case in 2013 ended in the conviction of Andre Hampton for the beating death of his infant son. But the jury opted to sentence the Charlotte man to life without parole. Of the two capital cases scheduled for 2012, one ended in a plea and the other was eventually tried as a non-death penalty case and led to a conviction.
Given the time and expense needed to plan and try such cases, District Attorney Andrew Murray says he reserves the death penalty for crimes that "shock the conscience of the community."
The Feb. 4, 2008, slayings of Wagstaff, her live-in boyfriend Young, and her teenage niece, Hines, appear to meet that criteria.
According to testimony in Hurd's trial, Young was a drug dealer who owed a significant amount of money to a New York cartel. On Super Bowl Sunday in 2008, Hurd drove up from Atlanta with up to three other men to collect the debt.
Early the next morning, Wagstaff's house was in flames. Investigators found her and Young in the wreckage. Both had been bound and had their throats stabbed or slashed. Young had also been shot. Hines' body turned up later that morning off Beatties Ford Road. She had been shot twice and doused with gasoline.
DNA placed Hurd at both killing scenes. Jailhouse informants also told the jury that Hurd bragged of being an enforcer for the drug ring, and that he may have had some role in the shooting death of his only known accomplice, Nathaniel "Lil' Nate" Sanders.
Hurd's defense team, which includes Alan Bowman of Newark, N.J.; Carl Grant of Columbia and James McMillan of New York, has significant experience handling capital cases.
So has lead prosecutor Clayton Jones, an assistant district attorney. When a Mecklenburg jury last sentenced a man to die – Michael Sherrill in 2009 – Jones was in charge of the case.
Superior Court Judge Robert Ervin gave both sides and the jury a day off Tuesday. The defense is expected to call at least one expert witness. It's not known if Hurd or any of his relatives will testify.
One family member of the victims appears to have mixed feelings over what happens next.
Freddie Wagstaff cried on the stand last week when he started to talk about his murdered daughter and granddaughter.
Tuesday, when asked if Hurd deserves life or death, Wagstaff deferred to the 12 jurors (seven black and five white) whose opinions matter.
"There's been enough killing for me," Wagstaff said from his Virginia home. "But I'm not the one who has to make that decision. So either way they decide is fine with me."

Urban Harvest
Local fruit for local people!
We have fresh, locally produced Apple Juice (£2.50/litre), Jams & Chutneys for sale (£2/jar) - all made with local fruit picked in an around Birmingham. Pop in to the Ecocentre to buy.
Thank you to every one who has donated fruit and volunteered to help pick. We really appreciate your generosity and enthusiasm for Urban Harvest. We have now finished collecting fruit for this season. Watch this space for 2014.
Jackie Green - Urban Harvest Coordinator
Sign up to be kept up to date with food related activities in South Birmingham
Urban Harvest - Crowdfunding
We were successful in our crowdfunding bid to raise money to deliver and develop Urban Harvest. Thank you to everyone who supported us.
Urban Harvest works to make sure the fruit we grow in our communities is used instead of left to rot while we import apples from New Zealand.
Every year tonnes of urban fruit goes to waste as people are either unable to pick it, can't deal with the quantity or simply don't know what to do with the fruit. Urban Harvest provides a solution to this problem and has a positive environmental impact by using fruit with almost zero food miles that would otherwise go to waste.
Birmingham residents with fruit trees including apples, pears, plums, cherries and damsons can have their fruit picked. Some of the fruit is shared between the volunteer pickers and fruit owners. Some is given to children's centres and organisations promoting healthy eating. Some will be available for food bank customers. The rest will be sold and made into jams, pickles, and chutneys to raise an income to deliver the project next year.
We also work with Birmingham based groups and individuals to harvest the fruit during the season (Sept-Nov). Urban Harvest is able to offer work experience to local people and has a focus on targeting disadvantaged groups in the city. Harvesting fruit together is great fun and there are lots of reasons to get involved, and all volunteers are given fresh fruit at the end of each session.
We will be picking every Tuesday and Thursday from 26th September. If you have fruit trees that need picking then please get in touch with us.
We have lots of opportunities for volunteering with Urban Harvest. There are some great benefits for volunteering your time with us:
Health and Wellbeing:
§ Low stress outdoor activity
§ Contributing to a social and environmental aim
§ Fresh produce share
§ Gentle physical activity- flexible to clients ability
§ Connecting with others, being active, learning through doing, curiosity, giving
§ Personal and social benefits of environmental activity
§ Physical: improved stamina, fitness, weight management. 20 minutes gardening burns 118 calories (354 per hour)
§ Mental wellbeing
§ Environmental awareness and appreciation
§ Personal contact and encouragement
§ Connection with land
§ Involvement in decision making
Education and Skills:
§ Work experience: turning up on time, carrying out tasks as directed by team, working to health and safety standards, working with the general public
§ Team work and cooperation
§ Production of chutney and jam
§ Environmental awareness
§ Learning about tree care and fruit growing (organic)
§ Learning skills in horticulture, urban food production, Permaculture, health and safety in the workplace
§ Development of understanding of where our food comes from
Community development:
§ Feeling part of a community with common goal, being an ambassador
§ Reward of seeing process from harvesting to juicing/preserving
§ Development of community of Fruit harvesters and members
§ Environment as common language for all regardless of background
§ Reducing waste
If you want to get involved we will meet at the Ecocentre at 9.30am on each picking day and will aim to arrive back to the Ecocentre around 4pm. You can come along for some or all of the day. We will arrange to get you to the sites. Please bring a packed lunch if you are coming for the whole day. Please wear long sleeves and closed toe shoes as apples can be heavy and hurt if they land on you! We do have some hard hats for you to wear.
On Thursdays from 10th October we will be picking in the evening until the light fades, we will meet at the Ecocentre at 5.30pm. We will also be holding a family picking day on Saturday 19th October.
What we are working to achieve with Urban Harvest:
- Reduce fruit waste in our communities.
- Reduce carbon emissions from food through lower food miles by using local produce that was previously wasted.
- Improve nutrition locally through access to fresh fruit.
- Provide positive volunteer opportunities for people loking for employment to develop skills, confidence and gain a reference.
- Build communities, bringing people together over a common cause.
- Encourage procurement of local goods to boost economic growth
Northfield Ecocentre is working with Martineau Gardens, Urban Veg and Growing Birmingham to deliver Urban Harvest.

At Hokkaido Sushi Hibachi Steak House and Lounge—named after Japan's second-largest and northernmost main island, Hokkaido—highly trained chefs entertain both family gatherings and intimate dates at the hibachi table and prepare fresh sushi with salmon, tuna, squid, scallop, sea bass, and other cuts of seafood. The in-ground fish tank that circles the entire bar illuminates platefuls of teppanyaki filet mignon and crispy shrimp tempura. Nearby in the LED-laden Vegas-inspired eatery, a team of sushi chefs rolls slices of tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and asparagus inside a sheet of seaweed in the signature Crazy maki roll. Additional maki ingredients include unagi, cream cheese, jalapenos, and tempura soft shell crab.
Proud, family owned, Maki Sushi & Noodle Shop earned city-worthy praise in both the Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune for the elegant simplicity that characterizes both its menu and d?cor. Set in the historic Pickwick Theater building, Japanese letters run down the floor-to-ceiling murals that color the bright eatery?s mint-green walls, flanking a sushi bar centerpiece where more than 30 seats rest courtside as master chefs prepare fresh sashimi and dozens of signature maki rolls including Crazy Crunch filled with tuna, salmon, yellowtail and tempura crunch topped with wasabi mayo and unagi sauce. The clean lines of the eatery?s exposed brick pillars and polished wood-grain floors spill over into lunchtime bento boxes, which compartmentalize protein such as crabmeat fried rice or chicken katsu. Delicate flutes of martini glasses filled with fruit-infused takes on the classic cocktail. Equipped with a glass-enclosed wine cellar, Maki Sushi?s lower level lounge plays host to private get-togethers, corporate happy hours, and very short games of hide-and-seek.
Diners entering Yue-Sun Restaurant are greeted with a feast for the senses. At any given moment, chefs are flipping steak and shrimp over blazing hibachi flames to the delight of parents and children, who nibble on miniature bites of teriyaki steak. In another part of the room, a conveyer-belt train of fresh sushi rolls by in a delicious, colorful parade of avocado, salmon, and wasabi. The atmosphere is family friendly, but also caters to intimate dates, with lobster dinners, couple's meals, and chopsticks that can only be operated by two people.
Wok 'n Fire?named Best Asian Restaurant by West Suburban Living?tantalizes taste buds with a menu bursting with flavors from Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and other Asian cuisines. In their specialties, chefs sear seafood, steak, and chicken with complex flavors in the wok. They craft sashimi and specialty maki rolls, as well as twirling together noodle dishes that range from japanese udon to thai curry noodles and the cantonese noodles used in ancient tugs of war between provinces. Ginger ale and flavored lemonades, both crafted in-house, hydrate throats between bites.
Decor varies across the Asian bistro's locations throughout the western suburbs, but all share dramatic lighting, sleek hardwood floors, and smooth wooden seating that all obey one gravitational constant. Sophisticated accents pervade each location, such as dangling lights that recall bells, sinuous golden dragons undulating across a wall, and partitions that mimic an abacus or twined branches.
Inside Dao Hibachi Restaurant, eyes drink up sumptuous interior design and ornately arranged sushi as taste buds sample Thai spices and meats seared on a hibachi. Patrons let their chopsticks breathe on the outdoor patio, sip specialty cocktails under boxy lanterns, or sit on floor cushions beneath lines of Japanese text on khaki-colored walls. Noodles and vegetable slivers trail from appetizers served in martini glasses, like the protein drinks James Bond downs before chasing down Goldfinger's private airplane on foot.
"Japonais is a culinary experience that blends immense enjoyment with sturdy savoir faire," declared former Chicago Sun-Times food critic Pat Bruno, writing of the sleek Asian eatery near the edge of the Chicago River. While one coexecutive chef, Jun Ichikawa, lends his expertise to the sushi side of the restaurant's menu, the other, Gene Kato, designs its selection of hot plates. Together, they churn out traditional and modern dishes—such as the house-specialty Kobe prime rib and Le Quack Japonais, a house-smoked duck slathered in hoisin sauce and mango chutney—whose appeal led Condé Nast to name their establishment one of the top 66 restaurants in the world. Ingredients from both surf and turf star at the sushi bar, which serves options such as spicy king-crab nigiri and a Crazy Veggie roll that insists on wearing its lab coat and goggles at all times. As selections emerge from the kitchen, says Bruno, "the presentations … are elegant … the shapes and swoops of the plates are a feast for the eyes." The two dining rooms at Japonais meld industrial Japanese design with a touch of European richness. Squares of gold velvet frame an oversize mirror that hangs over the Red Room, the restaurant's more formal dining space. Across the hall, the Green Room's slate-and-brick fireplace and whimsical tree centerpieces that occasionally don sweatpants add to its more relaxed atmosphere. Wavy ceiling panels and Lucite chandeliers accentuate the high ceilings that unite the two spaces, hanging over a staircase that leads downstairs to the riverwalk café. There, sheer drapery panels frame views of the Chicago River for those seated on pillow-laden couches and chairs. As they lounge, guests can sip specialty cocktails or enlist the top-shelf liquors to help them win gargling contests against the river.

Action packed, and a page turner, but the plot was very confusing, and the (emotional) background of the main character was lacking.
totally confusing
I enjoyed the variety of characters, the constant humor in the dialogue, the fast pace, the intense action, and the unique setting. However, I was very confused through much of the first half, as to what was actually happening and why. I also had a hard time keeping track of all the different characters at first. And-- although I'm sure this is not the fault of the author and rather perhaps an oversight during the copy-editing phase of the book--there were so many errors (missing words, mostly) that it became a distraction while reading. Also, some of the mechanics of the author's writing style made the word flow unnecessarily choppy. The awesomeness of the ending made up for all the downsides, though. Overall, a fun read. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
I thought this would be a corny predictable book but was pleasantly surprised by the great storyline and believable characters. Not for the timid reader.

Meridian Life Science® Successfully Manufactures Influenza Challenge Stock For Immune Targeting Systems
Meridian Life Science, Inc., (MLS) of Memphis, Tennessee, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVO), is proud to announce that MLS manufactured an H1N1 influenza A challenge stock for Immune Targeting Systems, Ltd. Immune Targeting Systems contracted Meridian Life Science to manufacture the influenza A challenge stock resulting in a 12-month, highly collaborative production program culminating in the successful release of the challenge stock. Meridian Life Science manufactured the influenza A challenge stock according to appropriate current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) parts 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211 for use in Phase 1 human clinical trials to the desired specifications and under aggressive timelines; allowing Immune Targeting Systems to meet critical clinical development timelines.
Challenge stocks are infectious viral stocks capable of inducing disease. Challenge stocks permit clinical investigators to conduct carefully controlled studies where the precise timing, route of administration, and dose can be administered to healthy human volunteers with a well defined health history. Challenge studies can be used to test vaccines or therapeutics for efficacy. Traditional infectious disease efficacy studies relying on randomly infected individuals often require treatment of very large numbers of potential participants with incomplete health history information and limited precision regarding the timing of infection. Challenge studies can minimize the number of trial participants required to demonstrate statistical significance, appreciably reduce clinical development costs and speed important vaccines and therapeutics to market.
Victor Van Cleave, Ph.D., Vice President of Research and Development (R&D) at Meridian Life Science, stated, "Meridian is pleased to have been selected by Immune Targeting Systems for the cGMP manufacture of this H1N1 influenza A challenge stock. This project was an excellent fit for Meridian's core virology and virus based product manufacturing capabilities. The collaboration with Immune Targeting Systems has been a very close partnership with scientists from Immune Targeting Systems working alongside Meridian scientists to ensure successful and timely production of this important clinical research tool. Meridian and our scientists are proud to be a part of this development effort that could significantly impact the incidence and severity of influenza infections."

Hi Lynnlou, I'm in the UK and using a UK yarn so it could be the cause. I'm going to rip it and start again with 4.5mm, yours looks a lot better than mine and I'm a very loose knitter to start with. I'm glad in a way because I made a mistake right at the beginning so now I can put it right LOL
Jan x
I can tell that my yoke is is going to be longer than 8 1/2 inches already. Did anyone take out a few rows? Thanks! Jeanie
I like to be in also. have to rush to get my yarn together
Hi Kathleen
I'm also a Judy and new to the KAL. How do I post my progress to the forum? I have tried several times but never see my comments on the site. My sweater is coming along nicely and I would like to share. Help!
judy v
Hi JeanieH,
i did take a few rows out of my yoke. at the 44th rnd it was almost 9" long !
i just made sure i have all the increases, so that it's large enough. i haven't finished it yet but it looks good so far.
Hi Melodie, Thank you for responding! I'm going to keep measuring as I go along and may try it on. Jeanie
Hi, everyone. I just began a rather difficult cable vest when I this project was announced and I really want to get it done asap, so I hope it's OK if I just act as support as I watch you all progress. I like the design and I don't have much top-down experience so I hope to pick your brains and work on this once the vest (which is proving to be a b----h and I wish I had others doing it with me like you guys do). I love seeing the pictures of your progress and the colors and yarns you've chosen. Thanks for letting me pick your brains and be a voyeuse. Kerry
Awesome work everyone!
I am almost done with the sweater and have some ribbing left on the final sleeve as you see in the pic below.
I also noticed that the raw fleece I spun has lots of yellow going on. grrr so when I get ready to block I am going to soak it good in woolite and see if the yellow goes away otherwise will have to dye it. I knew the fleece was dirty but gosh I thought I washed it good but I guess you can't see the subtle yellowing until it is made into something. Good learning tho. lol weird to see half a sleeve yellowed and a yellow strip above the waist ribbing. acckkk! oh one more note.... I did 3" of sleeve ribbing instead of the 4. I don't like lots of ribbing on the arms. lol
I have never even belonged to a community of knitters so following along on this blog has been a pleasure for me! Please keep posting your photos, it is exciting to see all of the variations and colors that you have selected. I would do this too, and will probably participate in a KAL before long, but right now I have about 4 simultaneous projects going and don't dare start another! Anyway, this sweater reminds me of how brash and ambitious (foolish perhaps) I was when I was 18. I had learned to knit from my grandmother, but never from a pattern. I was away at college and lonely and decided that I would knit a sweater. I found a pattern and purchased some olive green wool for a cardigan sweater to knit for my mother. It was a top-down knit and I didn't even realize that until I had gotten to the place where you join the body under the sleeves. I can't believe that I just kept knitting, following the pattern as best I could, trusting that eventually something would emerge that looked like a sweater. As it turned out, I ran out of yarn and used some acrylic yarn that I thought matched for the last inch or two. I wish I still had that sweater, I'd love to look at it now! I'm going to visit my Mom in a few weeks (she's 86 now) and will ask her if she still has it. If she does, I'll post a photo. It must be full of dropped stitches and holes! Good knitting to all of you and keep posting those photos.
Carol, sounds so much like me, learning without a pattern, I just made a triangular navy shawl from my mother's say-so. It turned out lopsided, as I got tighter as a knitter, but I still (40 yrs later) have the shawl gracing the back of my sofa, ready for anyone who gets a chill watching TV. Also, I went forward on my own like you, just following instructions even when I didn't have a clue what is supposed to be happening. It's how I learned socks, which have become my passion, so it's not a bad technique.
That white sweater looks like it's turnout out wonderfully. How daring to use white!! And, wow, what a quick knitter.
Finished! Just washed and blocked it and waiting for it to dry. Sadly turns out some of that raw wool I had was enough yellowed that it looks like dirty places in the sweater. sigh
so going to dye it. Just trying to figure out what color.... maybe a denim blue or warm cranberry like color? not sure.

Kathleen, I have a question for you. When beginning the CO of the underarm section of the sleeve, what is the purpose of anchoring/joining the sleeve to the armhole with one stitch at the center of the underarm? Just curious as this is new to me. Thanks! Judy in SE Wisconsin

I'm really not sure! I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it just keeps the sleeve from flopping around too much when you're knitting. :)
That is a thought, Kathleen. But the strand of yarn stretched at least an inch as I knit the sleeves, and I think I'll take it out and close the space in the traditional manner! Thanks for your response! I'm enjoying the KAL! Judy in SE WI
Hi all
I have just separated the sleeve stitches from the body. Here is a photo of my progress so far, I am enjoying this pattern and the yarn has a nice sheen that makes the knit stitches in the yoke pop.

Viktor & Rolf's audience is still trying to adjust to the Dutch duo's surprising segue into commercial clothes. After the recent 10-year retrospective of their ultra avant-garde work, the pair moved on to a new phase: producing their version of real-life fashion. Their fall show featured headgear that was still up there in the conceptual etherantlers for some, Bambi sprouts for othersand a soundtrack that added the threat of hunters' gunfire. But underneath, all the clothes were reworkings of regular garments. As Rolf Snoeren explained, "We wanted to create a sort of fashion fairy tale. We've always loved classics and we think they are something special, which should be protected."
The walk in the woods began with a sensible loden, high-collared belted coat. It was followed by an outfit that, in its way, commented on all the ladylike silhouette-crafting that's going on in the fashion mainstream: a bolero jacket over a ribbed gray turtleneck and a wrap skirt fastened with a sparkling jewel. A camel car coat with a double collar was a reminder of the exaggerated multi-lapels the designers have piled on in former times; the device reappeared later, much watered-down, in double-fronted shirts. For all their reputation as out-there performance artists, Viktor Horsting and Snoeren are now displaying a canny knack for trend. Wide-leg pants, newly emerged this season, were in their collection, nicely done in fluid tuxedo suits. Ditto, broochesgreat, big rose sprigs or slightly sinister oversized spiders were pinned to the breasts of coats or at the throat on scarves.
Perhaps all this connectedness is down to the guys' decision to get out of the house more. Like the thorough students they are, they recently embarked on a fact-finding mission to the Golden Globes to research Hollywood celebrity. The results could be seen at the end of their show, in a series of glamour gowns. Swarovksi glitter sheaths came out swathed in chiffon, emerald charmeuse goddess gowns were studded with golden jewels, and plunging black lace floated over nude linings.
Something, however, is slightly wrong with this pictureand one can never help suspecting (hoping, even) that the effect is a conscious stroke of irony. Because the last thing anyone needs to see is a pair of extraordinary talents like Horsting and Snoerendesigners who have blown our minds in the pastsubsiding into something indistinguishable from normality.

Photo of the Week: Partnering for Impact
February 28, 2014
The Guardian highlights TechnoServe's innovative partnerships with the private sector.
In East Africa, TechnoServe is helping thousands of smallholder coffee farmers learn better farming and business practices to improve the quality of their coffee, increase their yields and raise their incomes. This type of large-scale, sustainable impact is made possible by innovative cross-sector partnerships, including collaborations with the private sector.
In a recent piece for the Guardian, Adeeb Mahmud highlights TechnoServe's approach to corporate partnerships:
NGOs bring expertise in service delivery that allows them to carry out direct interventions with individuals or local organizations more efficiently than the private sector. Working with companies such as Nespresso, TechnoServe offers training and capacity building to coffee farmers in East Africa that helps the company maintain the quality and consistency of its supply chain and increases the income of local farmers at the same time.

No Shortcuts to the Top: Climbing the World's 14 Highest Peaks
by Ed Viesturs
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ed Viesturs was the twelfth person to summit all 14 of the world's tallest mountains, the first American to do so, and the sixth to summit all 14 without supplemental oxygen. This is his autobiography, with a particular focus on his climbing.
As with most (all?) of the mountaineering books I've read, this one is very exciting at times. It kept me wanting to read. Ed was climbing with Scott Fisher on K2 when they not only summitted (against Ed's better judgement), but they saved the lives of two other climbers. Ed was part of David Breashears IMAX crew when disaster hit Everest in 1996. Plus there are many other climbs that he was involved in to make it to the summit of all 14; of course, he didn't make them all on his first tries, either. I was quite interested to learn that before the mountaineering took over, Ed had originally become a veterinarian.
On mountain kick after reading survival book and then rereading into thin air and Roger dreams; liked this book because of his commitment to long term goal and detailed prep and work ethic
I love reading accounts of people accomplishing amazing things. Ed Viesturs is was the 6th person in the world to climb all fourteen 8,000 meter peaks...and he did it all without the use of bottled oxygen. I agree with others that his writing is not nearly as good as Jon Krakauer, but his accomplishments, and the struggle to achieve them, more than made up for it. My favorite part was the account of his early days in Seattle/on Mt. Rainier. I'll never go anywhere near an 8,000 meter peak, but his descriptions of Mt. Rainier have cemented my desire to stand on top of it someday.
Ed Viesturs is an amazing mountaineer. Unfortunately, he's not a very good writer. His account of his attempt and eventual success in climbing the world's 14 highest peaks reads a lot like a very, very long resume.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0767924711, Paperback)This gripping and triumphant memoir follows a living legend of extreme mountaineering as he makes his assault on history, one 8,000-meter summit at a time.
For eighteen years Ed Viesturs pursued climbing's holy grail: to stand atop the world's fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, without the aid of bottled oxygen. But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go.
A preternaturally cautious climber who once turned back 300 feet from the top of Everest but who would not shrink from a peak (Annapurna) known to claim the life of one climber for every two who reached its summit, Viesturs lives by an unyielding motto, "Reaching the summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory." It is with this philosophy that he vividly describes fatal errors in judgment made by his fellow climbers as well as a few of his own close calls and gallant rescues. And, for the first time, he details his own pivotal and heroic role in the 1996 Everest disaster made famous in Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air.
In addition to the raw excitement of Viesturs's odyssey, No Shortcuts to the Top is leavened with many funny moments revealing the camaraderie between climbers. It is more than the first full account of one of the staggering accomplishments of our time; it is a portrait of a brave and devoted family man and his beliefs that shaped this most perilous and magnificent pursuit.

Just thought I'd take a second and show everyone what I've been working on this winter.
I bought the SP1 about 2 1/2 years ago. The only mods I did at the time was a delrin bolt, shocktech supafly if I remember correctly, and an Apex barrel. I added a few things this winter. I'm a lefty, so that's why everything is on the right.
Here's how she sits now:
Here is my wife's marker. I won it at a scenario game and modded it up like she wanted, pretty simple:
Well there you have it. Comment away!

TV stars and pop-rock paragons The Monkees have tickled eardrums and enchanted fans with catchy melodies and clever, sophisticated songwriting for four decades. Celebrating the 45th anniversary of the band's genesis, three of the original four Monkees—Davy Jones, Mickey Dolenz, and Peter Tork—have reunited for the first time in a decade to resurrect such hits as "I'm a Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," and "Daydream Believer," as well as tunes from their cult-classic film Head. Like a scratch-and-sniff oil painting, the evening promises to be a multisensory experience, as a mélange of Monkees covers, rarely heard tunes, and video clips weaves a pre- and post-performance tapestry of entertainment.
Grammy-winner Rihanna unleashes her formidable pipes and celebrated songbook as she continues traveling the countryside on her LOUD tour. Vibrant costumes and first-rate production harmoniously augment the singer's chart-topping oeuvre, which includes hits such as "S & M," "Only Girl (In the World)," and "What's My Name?" From the BankAtlantic Center's 400-level seats, concertgoers can marvel at the elaborate set pieces gilding the stage as their eardrums feast like hungry dachshunds in an unmanned pizza parlor. Cee Lo Green and J. Cole add their own vocal talents to the evening's aural enticements, creating a three-pronged attack on musical monotony.
After relocating from New York, the Saravia family founded Stage 84 as a haven for local artists and musicians that rekindled the creative spirit of their old stomping ground. Bands test the space's acoustics with soothing melodies from a raised stage, and patrons take to the microphone during Wednesday night karaoke to belt out classic rock or abridged versions of their favorite book on tape. Open-mic nights, jam sessions, and comedy acts also corral audience attention, and a monthly art show mounts gazeworthy gallery pieces on the lounge's red walls. A rotating selection of microbrews slides down the countertops of the café-style bar stocked with liquor and an espresso machine. Wines, cocktails, and specialty coffees supplement rations from a late-night bar menu that includes chili, fresh hummus, and nocturnal pizzas. Guests can also puff flavored plumes of smoke from hookahs while seated at the bistro's couches and four tables.
When Ronni Delvalle grabs ahold of one of her mirrored studio's chrome poles, she feels more graceful, beautiful, and self-assured than when she's practicing any other type of dance or fitness. Fueled by a drive to share this empowering form of sensual exercise with women of all shapes and sizes, Delvalle and her a team of female instructors lead a variety of fitness and instructional pole-dancing classes designed to build confidence, tone muscles, and burn calories.
The team also conducts an aerial-yoga course that incorporates soft cloth hammocks suspended from the ceiling, offering a practical alternative to equestrian yoga, which requires students to form downward facing dogs on the backs of speeding Clydesdales.
For two weekends every October, the sounds of laughter and German folk music echo across a field in Lake Worth. The American German Club's traditional Oktoberfest celebration, which sprawls across 10 acres under an open-air pavilion and a tent, has been going on for over 40 years now and doesn't show any signs of stopping. Each day kicks off with the parade of flags and, sometimes, a ceremonial keg-tapping. Afterward, indoor and outdoor kitchens perpetually sizzle up authentic German bratwurst, leberk?se, and pastries. Meanwhile, bartenders pour four styles of Hofbr?u Bier, as well as imported liquors and domestic brews. While vendors display traditional German crafts, the festival's stages erupt with folk-dancing, choral singing, and Bavarian tunes from German groups, including Heldensteiner Band.
Most people would feel spread thin if they were running orchestras on both sides of the country. But most people aren't Michael Tilson Thomas. One of America's most famous conductors, composers, and tuxedo-wearers, Tilson Thomas has remained the artistic director of the New World Symphony since he founded it in 1987, even after becoming musical director of the San Francisco Symphony in 1995. This is because the Miami-based orchestra feeds a need for Tilson Thomas: that of remaining at the forefront of symphonic trends, in a laboratory where top musical graduates can explore performance and compositional opportunities. But new works from students and professionals aren't the only thing on the New World Symphony's docket?every year, ticket-holders can expect a thrilling lineup of the classical masters who built the genre.

Bring Tails Doll back to Sonic games
I have noticed that Tails Doll is one of the if not the most talked about forgotten Sonic characters.
I thought it was only me and a few of my friends who wanted Tails Doll back, but after years of talking to people online I found out there are a lot of people would want Tails Doll back. I figured I would start this petition and if we got 1,000,000 signatures Sega would have to bring Tails Doll back for at least one more game.

So after having an emotional affair for several months, trying to end it and failing... we spent all day in bed together last Wednesday. It was our first time together and it was amazing, perfect, we just go so well together. I was so happy, ecstatic, for the first few days but now I've started to wonder what the hell I have done. I know I should start N/C again but I don't know how to find the strength. He is everything my husband is not and I wish we could go back in time and be together when we knew each other before I was married. I wish it with all my heart

This flavorful, tangy lemon curd is adapted from a recipe in Gourmet magazine. It's a snap to prepare. I dub this topping "nectar of the gods," and it's best applied to lemon or vanilla cupcakes.
1. In a heavy saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in lemon zest and juice and egg yolks until well combined. Whisk in butter and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, for 6 minutes or until lemon mixture is thick enough to hold marks of whisk.
2. Transfer lemon curd to a bowl, placing plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until cold.
Variation: Substitute lime zest and lime juice for the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Make sure that the egg yolks are at room temperature to help prevent the lemon curd from curdling. The lemon curd can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week. If your lemon curd does curdle slightly, strain the warm curd into a bowl and let cool. Proceed with recipe.
Use the chilled lemon curd as a cupcake filling.

Chillingo officially launches Crystal SDK for iPhone game developers
Chillingo recently announced that it would be launching Crystal SDK, a service joining the increasingly crowded social network market for iPhone games. Xbox Live on the Xbox is an official social network, but the iPhone has no such official service. A crowd of contenders, from the popular OpenFeint service to ngmoco's Plus+ network, are jumping in and trying to get developers on board with them. Crystal SDK is one of those -- they've now launched the official website and are asking developers interested to sign up and see what their software has to offer.
Like many of the other services, Crystal is offering to integrate challenges, achievements, leaderboards, and other social services into iPhone apps. The SDK seems like it's still pre-release, however -- there's only a signup, no information on cost or implementation or anything else on the site. Still, if you happen to be an iPhone developer still looking for a network to hook up with, they might be the one for you.
While we're at it: what do you consumers think? Have you actually chosen a network to go with, or are you doing what I'm doing and still basically going game by game? The goal of these networks eventually is to have a unified stable of developers, where you'll jump into a new game simply because it's linked to the network you're signed up with (and your friends will be playing over there and encouraging you to join). But in reality, I haven't seen that -- most people I know are just playing the games they're interested in, and the network the games are connected to hasn't made a big difference.

Christmas is in the air and the Skinnygirl gang gathers for a holiday party.
Bethenny must once again face her past when she has dinner with Louis, one of her deceased father's dearest friends.
When Bethenny brings up her obstacles with Jason to Dr. Amador, she understands it's time to take a step back and listen. Soon after, she leaves for the launch of the Skinnygirl Cranberry Cosmo in Aspen. Finally, Bethenny takes a lesson from Dr. Amador and learns to let Jason come to her instead of the other way around.
Jason and Bethenny are back in NYC and very much back to the business at hand - getting their apartment renovated and making sure they have a place to sleep. With the stress building, Bethenny indulges in a little NYC R&R - a night out with Jake and a yoga class with Nick that has her worried more than ever about his health.
A long vacation is just what the doctor ordered for Bethenny and Jason but the ups and downs that come with it are not. On the second leg of their trip, Jason decides that he has waited long enough to break some news about their new apartment and where they may have to live before they can move in. Willing to put themselves out there again, literally, Jason and Bethenny find themselves on yet another boat ride from hell. Bethenny and Jason can't seem to escape from their own personal issues and a lengthy discussion about work, life and love forces Jason to face his deepest fears.
Bethenny and Jason arrive at the One and Only Pamilla resort in Los Cabos for their extended and much needed vacation. It's been a tough road up until now but with Bryn and Veronica in tow, they are hoping to relax. But paradise loses a little bit of its glimmer once Bethenny and Jason start talking about past wounds. Fortunately, the rollercoaster ride of their relationship bounces back with a good dose of humor on both their parts. Finally, it's time for Bethenny's birthday, a day that goes much better for her than in previous years.
Bethenny gets busy building her brand empire and in typical Bethenny fashion has found a way to mix business with pleasure. With her staff in tow, the team heads to Jim Bean to discuss some exciting ideas that are brewing with Skinnygirl Cocktails. Things do not slow down for a moment as Bethenny learns the hard way that home renovations are no joke and begins to feel overwhelmed. Things reach a boiling point as she tries to manage everyone and everything in the project and her life but realizes she has become the middle man... or woman as it were. When her beloved Gina stops by, she can't help but show her true feelings and for a moment Bethenny allows herself to let go. Has the unstoppable Bethenny reached her breaking point?
Bethenny takes a serious hit when her assistant, Julie, delivers big news. Bethenny is full of mixed emotions and it causes her to reflect on her extended family and how valuable they are to her...and what better way to celebrate her staff than to do a photo shoot of them all modeling the Skinnygirl Shapewear line. Despite her recent success, Bethenny has trouble letting go of her bargain hunting ways. A furniture shopping trip for her new apartment sends her into a tailspin when she realizes that every time her Upper East Side interior decorator opens her mouth, thousands of Bethenny's hard-earned dollars fall out.
One "scandal" after the next has Bethenny making headlines. From the facts in her article in Forbes being questioned to the driver of the tow boat that picked her up after the boat incident claiming she didn't give him a big enough tip, it seems like everyone wants a piece of Bethenny. She draws the conclusion that she never had this kind of trouble until she made her money. Bethenny shops for her new apartment but cannot get the bad press out of her head. After much consideration, she goes on the Today show to clear the air. She goes out on a date with Jason and they seem to be happy with the way things have turned out. Bethenny has an appearance on Ellen and leaves the audience laughing.
Bethenny and Jason are going full steam ahead on the apartment remodel. Closet space is of the utmost importance to Bethenny, but for Bethenny to get her dream closet, Jason must give up his "man cave." Bethenny isn't comfortable asking Jason to give this up but the remodel crew votes for the closet. News of her mother selling a story about her to a gossip magazine shakes Bethenny. Later on Bethenny meets with Dr. Amador and breaks down admitting that hearing about her mother summons up painful memories.
Bethenny and Jason sail away on the couple's therapy boating trip, but the tide turns just as they begin to work together. Jason gets seasick and rendered unable to perform his "duty" of cooking the meal for the group. Things go from bad to worse when Dr. Amador informs them that they are essentially lost at sea as the GPS system on the boat has stopped working. Once on dry land, Jason and Bethenny race to reunite with Bryn. Jason proclaims that the trip was worthwhile as it made him realize that no matter how bad things get, he wants Bethenny by his side.
The second year of marriage is proving to be more difficult than the first for Bethenny and Jason. Bethenny confides to her hairstylist that she and Jason are in a fight and has been feeling distant from Jason. On top of that, the new apartment's design team is not getting along. Bethenny calls a meeting to get everyone on the same page but Jason is hostile with the group, making things worse and forcing Bethenny to play referee. Emotions are running high with Bethenny's assistant, Julie, who breaks down at a lunch meeting when asked if she is committed to the company for the long haul.
It's back to the beach, this time for another soiree to celebrate Skinnygirl cocktails. Bethenny decides to work on her matchmaking skills, her targets - Julie's sister Jonie and her partner in Skinnygirl Daily Nutrition, Matt. The two hit it off, but the next day, Bethenny and Jason end up fighting about Bethenny's "inappropriate" line of questioning. Back in the city, it's time to get the apartment renovation underway and Jason reminds their stellar design team that he would like to be considered as they put the pieces together. In Bethenny's weekly session with therapist Dr. Amador, he proposes a couple's workshop on his boat for Bethenny and Jason to work on their issues.
Bethenny decides to have a good old fashioned girl's weekend in her favorite stomping ground -- Montauk. With Bryn, Dawa and Cookie by her side, Bethenny turns off the world and takes a drive out to the beach. She lavishes her closest girlfriends with a summer weekend getaway and in turn they put pressure on her to have a second baby. The weekend is full of fun, sun, clambakes and a revelation that after the success, Bethenny has trouble trusting anyone other than her oldest and closest friends.
It's been a fruitful year for Bethenny but life shows no sign of slowing down. Season 3 kicks off with a party for the first new cocktail since the sale of Skinnygirl - friends old and new are in attendance, even TODAY show host, Hoda Kotb along with her boyfriend Jay. Bethenny takes life in the public eye in stride but Jason struggles with the constant attention. Parties and press interviews are only a fraction of the new parents' hectic schedule - managing their second year of marriage, caring for their daughter Bryn and purchasing a new apartment are just some of the challenges ahead.
Having just finished Skating with the Stars, Bethenny and company have not slowed down for one minute and have now embarked on her Skinnygirl bus tour. Nothing is off limits and Bethenny is not afraid to share. For Bethenny's colorful "family" the bus tour comes with its own set of adventures including feedings, open discussions about work and a little bathroom humor thrown in for good measure.
As one of the breakout characters of The Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny has shared her life with millions, and now in her own docu-series, fans will get an even closer look into everything Bethenny.
Between motherhood, marriage and building her 'Skinny Girl' empire, Bethenny finds her life is in the fast lane - and moving at warp speed.
The sale of SkinnyGirl cocktails introduces some added luxuries into Bethenny Frankel's life: an incredible new apartment, trips to exotic locales, and a larger staff are all part of the perks. But that doesn't mean Frankel's sitting idle; the quick-witted New Yorker is still living life in the fast lane, juggling her many roles as wife, mother, and mogul in Bethenny Ever After.

Prior to and in the aftermath of the Steubenville rape trial verdict, donations have poured in from supporters wishing to contribute to the rape victim's legal counsel. But "Jane Doe"'s attorney Bob Fitzsimmons says he is doing the case pro bono. Since he is not charging his client for his services, she and her family have asked that any donations be sent to the YWCA's Madden House in Wheeling, West Virginia, an emergency safe-shelter for women who are rebuilding their lives. Fitzsimmons says that they hope "the attention … can help other people that have been victimized by this type of crime," Fitzsimmons said, "and give them some strength and some assurance that people are there to help them when that happens." You can check out the organization and donate as little as $2 via PayPal here. [Madden House; Create Our Own Light]
