Resource centre > Botanic garden information > Role of Botanic Gardens
Role of Botanic GardensBotanic gardens have had a changing role throughout history, beginning often as medicinal gardens for the study and cultivation of plants with healing properties and going through many phases including of course as pleasure gardens. But the fact that their collections are more or less scientific, means they are continually adapting and serving the needs of their societies in evolving ways as new challenges face those societies. In current times, they are becoming key players in both the conservation of plants and in the education of the people who come to see them. They are also starting to play a role in the mitigation of the effects of climate change, and could be absolutely vital to the survival of the planet as they are perfectly placed to help move species around and help ecosystems to adapt to new climates in different regions. Botanic Gardens: A Tribute to the Role of Beauty in Conservation of our Plant HeritageThe Role of Botanic Gardens in Plant ConservationBotanic gardens play a key role in the conservation of the world's plant diversity and the education of people in environmental issues. BGCI facilitates this work through delivering publications, workshops, congresses, support and guidance. Together we are making plants, and thus life, more secure.

The New Generation of Design
(page 1 of 2)
Next generation talent is always exciting to watch—especially when it comes to budding fashion designers. May 7 is UW-Madison's La Moda Processa show, which translated, means "the process of design," according to promotions coordinator Alyssa Mohrfeld. The runway show showcases thirty student designers in the UW's Design Studies program and sophomore, junior and senior work will all be represented in the one hundred pieces.
Before the show attendees can view an exhibition of student work on mannequins and interior design pieces. Runway shows begin at 2 and 7 p.m.
"This year the actual show is based off of classes the designers have been in, so we show the process they go through at UW," explains Mohrfeld. "At the beginning of the show, there will be pieces from the beginning classes in the design major and [will then progress] to very creative, innovative pieces applying those concepts they learned from the start."
I spoke with four designers whose work will be shown on who their inspirations were and where they see themselves after graduation.
Ariel Arnson
Senior in textile & apparel design
Any unique design experience thus far?
This fall I interned for The Purple Goose, a boutique in Verona. I designed a skirt and top for the first two garments in their private label. They are currently being sold in the store.
What are your design inspirations?
I love Valentino. If I had an endless amount of money, I would only don his clothing and accessories. I love the romantic, feminine qualities of his pieces, and I could die for his bows! I also love Anthropologie and the new brand BHLDN. I love how they captivate this sincere, natural, feminine quality in all their pieces. I draw a lot of inspiration from those designers as well as nature and vintage '50s dresses.
Tell us about your collection for La Moda Processa.
My collection is comprised of eleven pieces in the show. I created my own floral print for the dresses and I absolutely love the print—so each dress is my favorite!
What are your favorite materials to use and?
I love making dresses because I love wearing dresses. This year I've used a lot of soft silk organza which feels like butter on your skin! I also used silk organza and crepe de chine. I really enjoy dying and creating prints. I think it's fun!
What is your design aesthetic? Edgy? Classic? Any eras or decades you takeinspiration from?
I would describe my aesthetic as classic feminine with a hint of sass.
Jordan Camille Bautista
Junior, pre-textile and design major
What are your design inspirations?
I am mostly inspired by the places I visit and the people I meet along the way—like a street vendor from the Mission [District] in San Francisco or a skater in Bryant Park in NYC. I also get inspiration from my favorite designers: Issey Miyake, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Joseph Altuzarra and old works by Cristobal Balenciaga.
Tell us about your collection for La Moda Processa.
I have two three-piece collections in the show with three other individual pieces. My favorite amongst all the pieces is my hand-plaited fur-sleeve jacket with a matching vinyl bandeau and a high-waisted jersey bikini with fur on the back!
The first collection I have is called "Biometric and Geometric" and it's influenced by the juxtaposition of the organic and the artificial. It mixes delicate fabrics such as silk organza, chiffon, habotai with materials made for casual wear such as cotton knit and stretch twill denim. With each individual pieces, I play with soft, hard, straight and curvilinear lines to really show the versatility of the garments and to show the marriage of my contrasting ideas.
For my resort collection, "Vêtements Escapade," I wanted to create a collection that gives the woman garment pieces that are able to make her feel feminine, playful, sexy, comfortable and relaxed all at the same time. These pieces will give her the ability to mix and match depending on how the weather is like, her mood and how she feels like styling herself that day. The color choices are very soft with playful touches of pastel oranges and blues that are easy on the eyes. The fabric choices are well suited for the warm climate with a spin on some soft and lightweight knits, fleece and cashmere to give the collection the sense of modernity and luxury.
What's your design aesthetic? Any eras or decades you take inspiration from?
I describe my work as modern, functional, and sexy. In my designs, I convey structure and versatility. Through my daily creative process, I pull inspiration from simple thoughts and feelings I get: from a garlic I saw at the Saturday Farmers' Market, or the cracks I saw on the sidewalk, to a Parisian fall collection by Bottega Venetta, or an old Alfred Hitchcock movie. I also develop design ideas through varieties of fabric manipulations I learn in my classes such as pleating, tucks, knitting, plaiting and different methods of cutting fabric to achieve the right fit and look of a garment design.
If I were to pick a favorite era I pull inspiration from, I would probably pick the Edwardian era and the '20s.
What's your dream design job?
When I graduate in spring of 2013, my dream job would be to work for Belstaff, an English brand and garment manufacturer best known for producing high-performance waterproof jackets. I read about them in Time magazine's spring 2008 Style and Design issue and instantly fell in love with the motorcycle jackets they produce--its amazing cut and superior craftsmanship. If not I would also love to work for Burberry and design outerwear--I'm obsessed with jackets!

I just started my new stocktank pond and I have no plants. The pond is in full sun and right now very green. I was told that I need plants to clear up the water. I plan on keeping the pond going through the winter. I am in need of cold hardy plants that I will not have to take out of the pond as I have no place to overwinter them. Check out my trade list and see if I have anything you are interested in or I can do postage. Thanks! |

Welcome to my print shop.
I have used many different print techniques to create some of these artworks, some are screen printed, some are four colour litho, some are pure hot foil block onto paper and some are best reproduced as artist quality giclee.
I use sturdy, large diameter tubes to send prints, and each print is held in an acetate bag so they should reach you in perfect condition.
It is recommended you take them out of the tube as soon as possible when you receive the print. (or just get it straight to the framers)
Please click a thumbnail above to view prints.

My wife just bought a Ninja Blender. It does a good job of pulverizing anything you put in it. It does not make juice, which is fine because we bought a blender. However, I am thinking what if I use the blender to pulverize my fruits and vegetables. Then, take that pulverized mash and run it thru a food strainer, like a Victorio food strainer. Does anyone have an opinion if the food strainer would finish the job and make juice? This is the type of strainer I have in mind: http://www.victorioproducts.com/review/product/list/id/168/category/45/ My mom used have one when I was a kid. She made lots of tomato sauce and apple sauce. But with the correct screen, why not juice? Thanks for reading. |

No, not a 'juicer'. If you want juice, you need a juicer. That is an improvement having a stainless strainer for tomatoes and cooked apples for applesauce. Think 'babyfood' and tomato 'sauce'. Your thinking is sensible but it will not give you clean liquid juice. Seems like alot of work to try and get juice from a few different appliances. You could experiment with your ninja to make healthy smoothies, some frozen fruits,(banana, blueberries) add a few greens like kale/spinach, frozen cherry tomatoes, a bit of plain greek yogurt. A good juicer is the Breville all stainless. I got mine on Ebay, lightly used, half the retail price. (a single guy that just did not want to bother with the shopping and cleaning) I used an Acme juicer for years, just a bit of a mess to clean but not that bad. I like Carrot, beet, celery, ginger, apple,sometimes kale if i have it. I do not like a 'chewy' juice, so a juicer is necessary. A better quality blender is needed for really smooth 'smoothies' like a Vitamix or Blendtec. They will not extract 'juice'. |

Jessica L. Old Bear Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Billings, on November 29, 2011, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, JESSICA L. OLD BEAR, a 28-year-old resident of Wyola, appeared for sentencing. OLD BEAR was sentenced to a term of:
Prison: 37 months
Special Assessment: $100
Supervised Release: 3 years
OLD BEAR was sentenced in connection with her guilty plea to assault resulting in serious bodily injury.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Vince Carroll, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
During the early morning hours of December 4, 2010, OLD BEAR returned to her brother's (the victim, M.T.C.) residence in Lodge Grass where she had been temporarily staying. OLD BEAR had been out drinking and was intoxicated. M.T.C. asked her to leave because she was intoxicated. OLD BEAR became belligerent and began arguing with M.T.C. OLD BEAR began cursing at M.T.C. and retrieved an 8-inch butcher knife from a kitchen drawer. OLD BEAR then chased M.T.C. around the residence with the knife and eventually stabbed him several times: twice in the scalp, once on in the side of his abdomen, and once in the lower back.
M.T.C. was taken to the Crow Hospital, and then transferred to St. Vincent's Hospital in Billings because of the severity of his injuries. Because of internal bleeding, a chest tube had to be inserted into M.T.C.'s chest. M.T.C. remained hospitalized for two days. His injuries constituted serious bodily injury.
OLD BEAR was subsequently interviewed and admitted to stabbing M.T.C.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that OLD BEAR will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, OLD BEAR does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Good morning. I have a question about the water I use on my plants. My home has an ion exchange water softener that we have to load salt into. The kitchen faucet has a Pur filter and that is what I use to water my house plants, many cactus and succulents, rubber tree, pothos, and a few others. I'm wondering if water thru Pur filter is okay or should I get bottled water until I can use outdoor faucet? Thanks and take care. Amy |
Follow-Up Postings:
A water softener exchanges useful calcium and magnesium ions for sodium ions. Your faucet filter is most likely just a carbon filter. It will remove large organic molecules, but not the sodium ions you're concerned about. Do you have a water outlet upstream from the softener that you could use? Distilled or RO water are very good choices, but are a pain to buy and transport. If your plants are doing fine with the water you're giving them, then your softened water may be good enough to get them through the winter. Watering until water runs out the bottom of your pots will prevent sodium and other minerals from increasing any further. |

Facebook has revolutionized the way relations can be maintained by friends, family members and associates. For businesses, it is useful to promote products through cost-effective means. You can reach customers quickly and manage Facebook profile at a very negligible price. Facebook has offered lots of advantages compared to traditional print, radio and television channels of old days. Now, with Facebook as your promotional tool, you can spend less towards the advertisement and gain more from your publicity campaigns. Let us find the factors that help Facebook in growing strong in its business.
Facebook has such a compelling power to prove one's online identity. Individuals have recognized this fact. Businesses have recognized this fact. Individuals find Facebook as an easy to use and easy to connect tool. You can connect with your friends both current and old. You can update all the details happening at your end and at the same time know what is happening with your friends. No matter where they are present in this global village, you can greet and share photos, music and videos. You can re-connect with your old school friends and thus revise relations and can get into those thrilling moments.
With more than 600 million active users across the world, Facebook offers unique possibility to businesses through 'pages'. This facility has been utilized by businesses as it helps them reach their customers in less time and also helps them reach the most prospective audience. Businesses have a wide variety of options to promote their products.
A business can launch an application that brings its services closer to Facebook users. Instead of opening a separate web page, users can get updates from the company they are following. Mobile applications further enhance the visibility and reach of business. As smartphone revolution is transforming the lives of millions of people around the world, timely opportunities are utilized by Facebook by launching free applications to entice users.
The strong backbone behind the growth of the company is the team members of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, Chief Executive Officer of Facebook would like to enhance Facebook to make it a better destination for communication and sharing of information. Facebook is still able to attract and retain users because of launch of innovative features all through the past 8 years. The key to the success can be attributed to the innovative and extensive connectivity features. Christopher Cox, Vice President of Product, is successful in bringing a decent interface to users by introducing innovative designs. Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer is successful in her assignment in launching advertising campaigns carrying out day to day operations. With other dedicated team members who are highly talented in their respective domains much in the lines of Google team, Facebook is able to move ahead and withstand stiff competition in this highly competitive social networking arena.
In addition to advertising and sharing features, Facebook offer games and chatting activities. It has added entertainment, sharing and business. Many mobile phones are also launched through which Facebook can be accessed by pressing a single button. Facebook offers an API for developers which helpthem develop useful applications that can be integrated with websites.

Inorganic compound, any soluble hydroxide (OH) of the alkali metals: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium. More broadly, ammonium hydroxide (see ammonia) and soluble hydroxides of the alkaline earth metals are also called alkalies. Strong bases that turn litmus paper blue, they react with acids to yield salts, are caustic, and in concentrated form corrode tissues. Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and potassium hydroxide (caustic potash) are very important industrial chemicals, used in the manufacture of soaps, glass, and many other products. The mineral trona, a compound of sodium carbonate and bicarbonate, is one naturally occurring alkali. It may be mined or recovered from dry lake beds.

Let the Money Pile Up
A Card of the Week for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game |
A Game of Thrones LCG | Published 15 July 2010 |
Hello and Welcome Back, Loyal A Game of Thrones Fans!
We continue our Card of the Week series with this week's preview from the upcoming Illyrio's Gift, the first Chapter Pack of the Brotherhood Without Banners cycle of expansions. Last week we looked at the Dothraki that this pack focuses on, but there are plenty of interesting cards in this pack for each of the other Houses. This week we take a look at the deepening House Dayne trait of House Martell.
For those of you who have been paying attention to the House of the Sun and Spear, you know that as each expansion has rolled out, more and more trait synergy has come together for House Dayne. This has been explored in greater depth in an earlier card preview so we won't rehash it too much now, but what is interesting about how House Dayne is progressing is its alternate use of gold tokens.
In A Game of Thrones there are essentially two types of tokens: power and gold. What some of the newer House Dayne cards have been doing is using gold on cards to trigger other effects. For example, through the use of Starfall (A Sword in the Darkness, F52), each gold token on a House Dayne character gives it +1 STR. Through Starfall Healer (Return of the Others, F111), a gold token can save a character from being killed.
As the gold on characters cannot be spent*, this essentially creates a third token type, native to House Martell. What is nice about this House Dayne gold is that it is not in your gold pool and, as such, is not subject to the Taxation Phase. Round by round, your House Dayne characters can have more and more gold pile up on them for your effects.
This will change with the release of Southron Vessel. With Southron Vessel in play, the gold on your House Dayne characters can now be taken off of them and returned to your gold pool, to be spent on Marshalling or revealing cards in Shadows**. This sudden and dangerous flexibility for House Martell through House Dayne will be something to watch out for as Brotherhood Without Banners continues. And if you think House Dayne is dangerous, wait until you see what's coming for Sand Snake.
So that's it for this week's card preview. We hope you have plenty to discuss here and on the A Game of Thrones forums. Until next week!
* Ludicrous out-of-House card combo: Tywin Lannister (Core Set, L40) plus Rhaegar's Harp (Battle of Ruby Ford, F84) to give him the House Dayne trait and thus turn him into a living bank. As always, beware of Varys (Secrets and Spies, F97) and his Ally discard.
** The effect of Southron Vessel can only be triggered during the Marshalling phase so plan ahead if you want to bring cards out of Shadows with House Dayne gold.
Based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling fantasy epic A Song of Ice and Fire, A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, playable by 2-4 players, brings the beloved heroes, villains, locations, and events of the world of Westeros to life through innovative game mechanics and the highly strategic game play. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Chapter Pack expansions to the core game.
When possible I'd also like to see a nice event (titled after the House words if we know them for a house) that maybe triggers off of the 'House X' trait
Great to see Starfall get a card. While I do love trait decks, especially those centered on the smaller houses - I think that there need to be uniques to make them fun/really work. The house seat (in this case Starfall) is a must, as are at least 2 unique characters. We really need to see a new Edric Dayne card (hopefully this cycle).
Can't wait for the Sand Snake love. Hopefully we'll see the return of some Bastard trait hate as well.
Yay my Dayne's. My beautiful Daynes... Can't wait for Lord Edric.
As a Martell player, I'm liking this. Can't wait to see what's in store for Sand Snakes after reading this. Good stuff.
Looks like fun : )
WOW. i was waiting for a card that allows the gold on dayne characters to be spent. this will make dayne themed decks hilariously fast. House Dayne Reserves? it ain't no thang.
I love Traits and themes. So much fun. Two thumbs way up.
Oh, man. I looked at the "Southron Vessel" and I thought, "What a cool card. It would make a House Dayne deck much more flexible. I hope that's one of the cards that comes in triplicate."
Then I realized that it was from Illyrio's Gift, so ALL the cards are in triplicate. Then I got a little teary-eyed.
Thank you, FFG.

Just like a real burglar, after breaking cover back in May Thief 4's slipped back in to the darkness. And it's taken your expensive power tools with it.
Thankfully though, according to new words from the mouth of Eidos Montreal boss, Stephane D'Astous, the fourth game is shaping up nicely and will soon be back to nick the rest of the contents from your shed.
"Let me reassure you that the team is making leaps and bounds," D'Astous told Incgamers. "Personally I have NEVER seen a team, at this milestone (middle of pre-production) in such good shape!"
And will fans be disappointed with Eidos' imagining of the famous series? Oh no, says D'Astous, fans "will NOT be disappointed with Thief 4."
Less you forget, the team at Eidos Montreal is also working on Deus Ex 3.

Stuffed Squirrel

Stuffed Squirrel
This pattern was created in a fit to satisfy my son's request for a stuffed squirrel for Christmas. Because I have a problem saying no, I searched online for photos of squirrels and set to work mimicking their shape the best I could. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this pattern and hope you will be too! Let me know how it works for you, what could be improved or what variations you added. I feel like variation is what makes each piece special, so be sure to switch it up as you see fit!
Sl st=slip stitch
Inc=increase (2 stitches in same stitch)
Sc=Single Crochet
Picot=Chain 3, slip stitch into same stitch (making a loop)
Hook: US I/9 (5.50 MM)
(Finished Piece stands about 14" tall)
Ch 3, sl st to join
Ch 2, 7 sc into ring
Ch 2, *2in1, sc* around X3
Ch 2, sc around X3
Ch2, *3sc, 2in1* around
Ch 2, sc around X4
Ch2. 3sc, 2in1* around
Bind off, stuff with filler of your choice. Set aside.
Make back of head:
Ch 3, sl st tp join.
Ch3, 7 sc into ring
Inc around
Ch2, *2 in 1, sc* around X4
Ch2, 1sc in each st around
Sew to back of head piece.
I used two stacked buttons to make the eyes, because my son is old enough to not worry about him trying to eat them. If you are making this for a smaller child, or just don't like buttons for eyes, you can do a simple stitch with yarn, embroidery floss, etc. Just stitch over 2 rows, or enough to make the eyes as big as you want.
This was done in yarn with an embroidery needle. At the nose end of the head piece, stitch around the last round with brown yarn/embroidery floss. I used yarn because of the size of this piece because embroidery floss was too small for my taste. If you like more delicate features/details, the floss might be for you. After making about 7 to 8 stitches for the nose, I stitched straight down for the middle line then over to each side for the mouth. You can anchor these lines by going around 1 stitch and binding off. Make sure to leave a tail! You can stuff the tail in to the piece, out of sight, and it gives more stability to your knot. Nobody likes their mouth coming out!
Ch 9. SC in 3rd from hook and across.
Ch 2, turn. SC across.
*Turn (DO NOT CH2 here!!), SC across* Repeat until ear tapers down to 2 stitches (4 rows or so)
(I trimmed with eyelash yarn to hide the rough edge and make it a little fluffier)
Body: (worked in joined circles, not a spiral)
Ch3, sl st to join.
10 SC into ring
*2SCin1* around
*SC in next 2 st, 2in1* around X 3 rows
SC around
In back loops only SC around (This "turns the corner" from the base of the body to the main portion).
*SC around* X 10 rows (I started stuffing here and kept filling it up as I went).
Dec2, *SC around* X5 rows
Dec4,* SC around* X2 rows
*Dec around*
Finish stuffing and bind off. Sew finished head on.
This is made in an arch pattern. The original ch is worked on the top and bottom, kind of like a circle pattern that starts with a line instead of a magic ring. However, instead of continuing around, you will turn back after completing a round to make an oval that is flat on the bottom.
Ch7, turn
SC across, 5SC in last st, SC across bottom of original ch
Ch2, Turn (to work back over row you just created) and SC in next ST X 8 *2SC in 1* X 3, SC X8
Ch 2, Turn, SC X11 *2SC in 1* X5, SC X11
Ch 2, Turn, SC 13 *2SC in 1* X7, SC 13
Ch 2 Turn, SC 15, *2SC in 1* X 9, SC 15
I did a SC trim around the whole piece for a more finished edge, but that is optional.
Bind off, leaving a very long tail for sewing on to the tummy.
Back Legs: Make 2
Ch 3, sl st to join.
10Sc into ring
Inc around
Inc every other around X2 (2in1, SC)
2sc, 2in1* around
Sc around X2
Dec 1st & last X 2
Toes: (make 2)
Ch 5, turn. SC in 2nd ch from hook and across.
*Picot* X 3 (See description above for details on this stitch.)
Bind off leaving a long tail to sew onto the legs with.
Front Legs: Make 2
Ch3, sl st to join
10SC into ring
Inc around
SC, 2in1*around
SC in each st around X2 *THUMB GOES HERE* For the thumb, chain 4, SC into 2nd ch from hook and back down to round. Continue on rounds from here, leaving the "thumb" tab sticking up.
SC in each st around X6, bind off, sew on.
Ch 32. Turn.
SC in 3rd ch from hook and across
Ch 2, turn. *Add "fun-fur" or eyelash yarn as a second strand here*
SC across.
Continue this until the tail is as long as you'd like it to be. After getting it about 30 rows high, I sewed the side seams together then closed up the top end, making a flat tube that was open on the bottom.
Stuff the tail, making it really bushy looking. Feed a thread of yarn down the back seam in several places. Pulling this strand makes the tail "curl" the way a squirrel's tail does. Attach the strand to the bottom then stitch the whole thing on, making sure it is secure.
So there it is…clear as mud, right? This is by far the most complicated pattern I've ever written, and would not recommend it for the complete novice. If you like a challenge, it's a great project. The piece itself was pretty easy to make, and if you've mastered the SC and straight lines and want to try your hand at making more three-dimensional shapes, this might be your pattern! Just know, it's a gateway…today it's stuffed squirrels, tomorrow it's fun animal pillows, then before you know it you're up until 3 in the morning surfing Youtube for amigurumi tutorials and making dinosaur dolls for your co-workers kids…(ask me how I know!) It is a very rewarding process to see a toy take shape as you single crochet your way through the pattern. I'd love to see pictures of your finished product, be sure to share them!
Spiral Slouchy Hippie Hat (By Jackie Lakey)
October 30, 2012 by prettygypsy
Filed under Hippie Hookerz
This pattern was born on a rainy afternoon as I scoured the internet for a good "hippie hat." I am a big fan of crochet, but cannot stand the search for readable patterns. I generally find them tedious and difficult to follow. So, in my eternal stubbornness, I decided to wing it. This lovely hat is what came out!
It's built on a simple spiral, with a gradual increase. A little slouchy, a little hippie-y, and a lot of fun to wear, it's become a staple to my wardrobe (especially now that the cold weather is here!) It's perfect for bad hair days, too!
As far as materials go, this was a stash-buster for me, so any yarn you have around will do nicely. And switch up the colors to your heart's content! I am currently working on a version with a different color in each round, so it's very versatile.
Spiral Slouchy Hippie Hat
US G Crochet Hook
Color A: fingering weight acrylic lavender
Color B: fingering weight acrylic magenta
Color C: fingering weight acrylic violet
- Ch 2 (counts as first SC) 6 SC into ring (7 SC)
3. Ch 3 (counts as first DC), 1 DC in same stitch, Ch 1. *2DC in next stitch, Ch 1* Continue ** around. (14DC)
4. *2DC in next stitch,(around chain 3 from previous round) Ch 1, 2DC in next stitch (7 sets of 2DC with a chain separating each) Ch1, switch colors.
5. With B, Join color. Ch 1. *2DC (into space before the next set of DC), Ch1, 2DC (into space before the next set of DC)* Ch1, 2DC into same space, Ch1* Repeat to finish the round. Switch Color.
6. With C, Join Color. 2 DC in next space, Ch 1, repeat for 42 sets. This will make 2 rounds.
7. DC in next 2 sts for 2 rounds.
8. *Ch 1, 2 DC in next stitch, Ch 1 skipping next stitch, 2 DC in next stitch.** Repeat around.
9. *Ch 1, 2 DC into space, Ch 1, **repeat for 2 rounds.
10. 2 DC into next space, NO CHAIN, repeat for 2 rounds.
11. 1 DC into next space, NO CHAIN, repeat for 1 round.
12. With B, 1SC in each space around.
As this is my first written pattern, I welcome critiques! (As long as they're nice…)
Is it Knitting or Crochet? (by Debbie Stuckey)
November 22, 2011 by Ms. Knitterz
Filed under Hippie Hookerz
This form of crochet is called broomstick lace. Having been around for many years this technique was originally done using an actual broomstick handle and a crochet hook. That's obviously how it got the name.
By using the broomstick lace method of crochet a project can be completed in no time at all. Today you have a much more practical option than using a broomstick- a large knitting needle is used. I typically use a size 19 knitting needle. I find it even better to use a lager size needle like a 35.
It helps to have some basic knowledge of crochet such as knowing the chain stitch and double crochet.
In most crochet projects you work a row, then turn your work and then go back down the other side. With broomstick lace you work on the same side throughout the entire project. Using a large knitting needle you can make quite an eye catching item in little or no time at all.
A basic pattern for a small scarf (using the broomstick lace method) is as follows:
Chain = ch
Double Crochet = dbl
Size J crochet hook
Size 19 or 35 knitting needles (you only need 1)
Yarn of your choice. The gauge of the yarn is not important for a broomstick lace project.
Chain 17 – Work a single crochet back across and you should have 16 single crochet. Do not turn your work.
1. Place your hook into the first single and pull up a stitch, place the stitch on to the knitting needle. Do this across placing every stitch you pick up onto the knitting needle. By the end of the row you should have 16 stitches on the knitting needle.
2. Slide 4 stitches off your knitting needle and place your crochet hook into these 4 stitches. Take and make a loop pulling yarn back through all 4 stitches and chain 4 (counts as your first dbl work). 3 more double crochet in the same stitch.
You should have 4 stitches worked. Slip 4 more stitches off and work 4-dbl crochet into the loop. Repeat this across and you will have 4 sets of 4 going across.
Do not turn your work.
3. Repeat row 1
Do not turn your work.
4. Repeat row 2
Do not turn your work.
Continue until you achieve the desired length for your project. Finish it off as you would any crochet project by weaving in your ends.
I've never met a skein I didn't like! (by Debra Stuckey)
April 27, 2010 by Ms. Knitterz
Filed under Hippie Hookerz
I have never met a skein of yarn I didn't like! There are so many beautiful yarn textures and colors. I very much enjoy dyeing my own yarn if the situation dictates.
When crocheting keep in mind a couple of things while making your yarn and stitches choices. If you are using a fancy, frilly yarn keep your stitches basic. The stitches will be lost in all the glamour of the yarn so all that work will be in vain. Save those fancy stitches for a plain wool or acrylic yarn so you can show off the detail.
The thing I really enjoy about crocheting is the ability to take out and redo your stitches. I find this to be a little more difficult when knitting. When the fury yarns first came out we were all excited about working with it but noticed quick when crocheting how easy it was to tangle.
The solution is to work with another yarn and a larger hook such as a size N or P. Holding 2 yarns together makes working with furry or eyelash yarns much easier and please remember to keep to basic stitches like a double crochet.

Cotton Craze…Great Handmade Gifts (by Natalie Badolato)
December 10, 2009 by Ms. Knitterz
Filed under Hippie Hookerz
I've recently moved which forced me to pack my ever growing supply of craft materials. It wasn't until I unpacked my supplies that I realized I have an incredible stash of yarn. So in an effort to depart from my norm of crocheting gifts for family and friends, I've decided to dive into my pile of 100% cotton and crochet things to sell at a community craft fair.
I jumped online to get inspiration and found that cotton kitchen and bath items are a hot ticket item. Now I'm happy to report that I'm not just drowning in balls of cotton but I'm also drowning in spiral scrubbies, wash cloths, bath puffs, cotton pads and apple cozies.
With the holidays quickly approaching and the economy as it is, I wanted to make something affordable that people could buy more than one of.
These cute and affordable pieces are perfect gifts for those hard-to-buy-for people on your list like co-workers and teachers. If you are looking for some really quick gift items, I recommend crocheting some spiral scrubbies. They take a small amount of cotton and you can bang a bunch of these out in an evening.
Crochet Patterns & Abbreviations (by Debra Stuckey)
December 9, 2009 by Ms. Knitterz
Filed under Hippie Hookerz
While teaching crochet one thing I have encountered over and over is hearing "I can't read this pattern". Every time I've heard someone say that what they really mean is, "I don't understand the abbreviations".
Let me start by explaining some of the basic abbreviations you'll see on a pattern.
ch = chain
This forms the basis for all crochet stitches whether it's chain 2 or 200.
dbl = double crochet
This is the most common crochet stitch and is used in a variety of ways. For example, making the granny square, making the pop corn stitch, making the shell stitch, etc.
sc = single crochet
hdbl = half double crochet
slp = slip stitch
Let's say you're crocheting a scarf. The pattern you are following might translate to something similar to this:
1) Make 18 chains.
Do a double crochet in the 3rd chain from hook and across you will have 15 double crochets.
Chain 3 and turn.
2) The chain 3 counts as your first double crochet.
Double crochet in the remaining double crochets.
Chain 3 and repeat row 2 until you get to your desired length.
Pull your last loop up a bit, clip your yarn and feed through the loop and pull tight.
Let's review some things that will be helpful for you to know when crocheting.
slp….slip stitch
sc…..single crochet
hdl…half double crochet
dbl…double crochet
trc….triple crochet
As you end a row, depending on the stitch you're using, you'll find yourself doing something like this:
- sc or single crochet ch 1 and turn for the next row
- hdl or half double crochet ch 2 and turn for the next row
- dbl or double crochet ch 3 and turn for next row
- trc or triple crochet ch 4 and turn for your next row
I hope you've found my tips helpful. Don't get discouraged. Stayed tuned for more tips as we continue to learn about the fun world of crochet! In the weeks to follow we will review more abbreviations and simple patterns which will help you to further learn how to crochet. You'll also learn how knitting and crocheting come together in projects.
One thing I can't stress enough is to keep an accurate count of your stitches. It's easy if you're not paying attention to add or drop stitches. I have seen this happen so many times. Remember, if you're crocheting a scarf and you need 15 stitches, keep count so it's actually 15 stitches across your work. Relax, don't get discouraged and enjoy what you're doing.
Good Luck all you Happy Hookers!

I'm considering putting carpeting in my basement, directly on the slab. The slab is new, has vapor barrier installed under the slab, and the basement generally stays very dry. I'm considering installing urethane foam carpet pad, such as ScotchGard that I see HD carriers, and low pile carpet over it. I've used this pad upstairs and like it, I wonder how well it would work over a basement slab. It claims to have built in moisture barrier. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing for this application. The other option is to build a subfloor using something like Delta-FL and plywood, and while I'm sure that'll be better overall, I'd like to see if I can avoid this effort, time and expense. |
Here is a link that might be useful: ScotchGard carpet pad
Follow-Up Postings:
See this previous thread. The vapour barrier under the slab will do a good job in limiting moisture drive into the basement. However, it does nothing for the temperature differential that will leave the slab cold in winter. So I would avoid using any carpet pad in a basement unless it's on top of Delta FL or equivalent or XPS and plywood. Confession: For years in the '80s I did install basement carpet over pads; felt great on the tootsies and would hold up for the time it took to sell the homes, up to two years. |

I'm not sure what it's called, but our installer used a felt-type breathable pad on the concrete under our carpeting. He said he used it all the time in basements because it didn't trap moisture. It was installed six years ago and still looks great. |

Bad news, ladies: the world will never see what Senate John Edwards is packing because the sex tape between he and his former mistress Rielle Hunter will be destroyed. Bummer! Keep reading »
John Edwards might be the proud father of a newly married daughter, but he is still in trubs with the law for allegedly using $1 million in campaign funds to cover his affair with Rielle Hunter. A grand jury indicted Edwards this summer on six counts, including conspiracy, issuing false statements, and violating campaign contribution laws. If I were in that much trouble, I would probably keep my mouth shut. But Edwards' legal team is using a different, uh, legal strategy. Keep reading »
John Edwards will most likely be indicted with criminal charges for using campaign cash to cover up his affair with videographer/wackadoodle, Rielle Hunter, ABC News is reporting. The U.S. Department of Justice has approved the prosecution, which seeks to indict the sleazy politician for using roughly $1 million of campaign donations to squire away Hunter from the media and the campaign, both of whom suspected the two of having an affair (and later, a love child). The prosecution is expected to argue that the Edwards campaign misused funds to try to cover up his cheating so he could continue onward with his 2008 presidential campaign. Two rich donors allegedly supplied the funds and I think we can assume "hiding the mistress" was not on their list of ways it should be spent. Ugh, I'm going to have to make a spreadsheet of sleazy politicians, their mistresses, love children, and their money problems, because it's getting hard to keep track of them all. Sigh. [ABC News, NY Times] Keep reading »
John Edwards proposed to his mistress/mother of his lovechild Rielle Hunter three weeks after his estranged wife, Elizabeth, died from cancer, The National Enquirer has claimed. Granted, it's the Enquirer, but the supermarket tabloid was originally right about him diddling former presidential campaign videographer, so they may know a thing or two. A source claims John proposed to Rielle during a "festive holiday getaway" when he introduced her to his children and that Rielle coldly told the Edwards kids — Cate, Emma Claire and John — to "call me mommy." The couple already have a young daughter, Frances Quinn, who was the product of their affair (though John long denied he was her father).
If the couple does marry, it might make a prediction in a dishy tell-all book by John's former aide, Andrew Young, true: John had allegedly promised Rielle they would marry after his sick wife died in a rooftop ceremony in New York City with Dave Matthews Band playing. Keep reading »
Not that John Edwards deserved anything after cheating on his cancer-stricken wife and fathering a child with crazy lady Rielle Hunter, but color me surprised that Elizabeth Edwards, who died in December, has left her estranged hubby out of the will. Cate Edwards, the couple's 28-year-old daughter, was made executor of the will, which leaves everything to her and her two younger siblings, Emma Claire and John. The will, dated just six days before her death, reads: "All of my furniture, furnishings, household goods, jewelry, china, silverware and personal effects and any automobiles … to be divided among them … "
Elizabeth passed away after a long battle with cancer; after John's tawdry affair with his presidential campaign videographer burst onto the pages of The National Enquirer, the couple had separated but not yet divorced. Personally, I think leaving John out of the will was a last little "f**k you" to him. Instead of sentimental artifacts of their marriage, he just gets stuck with parenthood with Rielle Hunter! [Radar Online] Keep reading »
Elizabeth Edwards is releasing her bestselling memoir Resilience in paperback and that means it's time for a tell-all interview with People magazine. This time around, her eldest daughter, Cate Edwards, 28, joined her. Mother and daughter chatted with People about John Edwards' philandering, the divorce, his lovechild Quinn, and how Elizabeth is staying strong throughout chemo treatments for her stage-4 cancer.
Elizabeth's money quote about the Rielle Hunter paternity test debacle is boring — "John's conduct through this whole thing was terrible" — and they don't touch the sex tape with a 10-foot pole. But there's still some juicy gossip to sift through, after the jump. Keep reading »

I've been told there's no point in using 00 grind unless you're going
to toss-and-spin the crust to stretch it. The idea is that the 00
flour forms long gluten chains better. If you roll the dough on a

John Earl Haynes
Dr. John Haynes | |
Alma mater | Florida State University University of Minnesota |
Known for | Being an American Historian |
John Earl Haynes is an American historian who is a specialist in 20th-century political history in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. He is known for his books on the subject of the American Communist and anti-Communist movements, and on Soviet espionage in America (many written jointly with Harvey Klehr).
Early years[edit]
John Earl Haynes received his undergraduate degree from Florida State University in 1966, and his master's degree and doctorate from the University of Minnesota in 1968 and 1978 respectively.
During the last years of the 1970s Haynes served as a legislative assistant to Sen. Wendell Anderson, a Democratic Governor of Minnesota named to replace Walter Mondale in the United States Senate when the latter was elected Vice President of the United States.[1]
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union during the first years of the 1990s, previously closed sensitive archives in Russia began to tentatively be opened to scholars. In 1993 in his capacity as with the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress, Haynes became the first American scholar to examine the records of the Communist Party USA housed in the former archive of the Communist International in Moscow.[2] Haynes was later instrumental in helping to forge a December 1998 agreement between the institutional forerunner of today's Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI), keeper of the Comintern documents, and the Library of Congress which led to the microfilming of the CPUSA collection and its sale to academic institutions.[2]

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 579 - 11 February, 2004 Written Answers - Ministerial Statements. Mr. R. Bruton Mr. R. Bruton 88. Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if her attention has been drawn to an article where she is reported to have made certain comments (details supplied); her views on the way in which this relates to the constitutional provisions regarding marriage; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [3845/04] Mary Coughlan Mary Coughlan Mary Coughlan:The institution of marriage has been, and for a majority of families with children, still is the foundation for continuity and stability in family life. Its contribution overall to the well-being of individuals and, more generally, to social cohesion goes without saying and it is entirely appropriate that the State should, as stated in the Constitution, pledge "to guard with special care the institution of marriage". 1540 That being said, it is also the case that a growing proportion of marriages fail, with the spouses separating to live apart. The Constitution [1540] now also recognises this reality by permitting the dissolution of these marriages in certain defined circumstances and allowing those divorced to marry again under the law and set up reconstituted families. Of course, many who separate never marry again. There is also the growing phenomenon of couples living as man and wife but not entering into the legal relationship of marriage. Changing values mean that this form of family arrangement is becoming more socially acceptable. Given the rapid changes affecting families and family life, the State is required to provide more support to assist families in difficulties than might have been the case in the past. Families where the parents are experiencing marital difficulties or are separated or unmarried are generally more at risk, especially where there is just one parent carrying the double burden of breadwinner and care giver. It is my responsibility, as Minister with responsibility for family affairs, to ensure that the well-being of all individuals, especially children, is safeguarded within the family and that all families, irrespective of the form they take, receive appropriate State support in meeting their caring responsibilities. Last year I established the Family Support Agency to draw together the main family-related programmes and services developed by the Government since 1997. Its functions include the provision of services in respect of family mediation, marriage and relationship counselling and family support services and programmes, including parenting, and support for the promotion and development of family and community services. This year I have made some €20.185 million available to the Family Support Agency to fulfil its functions, €7.16 million of which is for the scheme of grants for voluntary organisations providing marriage and relationship counselling and other family supports. I am also conscious that the rapid changes taking place may be leading to outcomes in terms of family life that many may not desire either for themselves or others. It is also possible that State policies and programmes may not be contributing as effectively as they might to strengthening families at this time of change. It was for those reasons that I embarked on the current wide-ranging consultation process which I intend will culminate in a clear, coherent and comprehensive strategy for supporting families to be issued by the end of this year, the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Family. 1541 The consultation so far has shown the deep concern many share on the impact of current changes on family life, a clear recognition of the importance of families for individuals and society and a determination that State support must be as effective as possible in strengthening families and family life. I am determined to ensure that [1541] the strategy which emerges at the end of the process will meet these concerns. Dáil Éireann 579 Written Answers Ministerial Statements.

This formula is specifically for controlling or overcoming bed-wetting and strengthening the entire urethral canal, kidneys, bladder, etc. Another helpful hint prior to retiring is to fasten a ball about six to eight inches in diameter of yarn or string or cloth onto the nightclothes in the middle of the back. The main reason for doing this is really quite simple; it is helpful in preventing the individual from lying on the back.
Why? When someone lies on their back, this is generally the time and position in which the valves release to void urine.
How does this work? Well, when this person rolls over onto their back their tendency is to start to release urine. However, due to this incredibly uncomfortable ball in the middle of the back, they tend to wake up just prior to voiding urine, thus, saving much clean up time and mess, not to mention all of the embarrassment that one would experience if this were to happen.

Above is the venerable Chicago White Sox reliever Will Ohman informing an enraged and recently bruised Colby Rasums that hitting him with a pitch wasn't intentional, and that frankly, he should know better than to imagine it was because the pitch that hit him came when the count was zero balls to two strikes.
Aside: It's rather amazing what a relief pitcher is able to convey within a couple of hand gestures and facial expressions. If only Mr. Ohman was as accurate with his pitch location as he is with his pantomimes.
Anyway, the question that Mr. Ohman is attempting to ask of Mr. Rasmus here is: Why would a pitcher throw at a batter when he's ahead in the count like that?
It's an excuse that's been used not just by Mr. Ohman, but also by fan bases attempting to justify their team's actions or discredit another's: "It wasn't intentional. It came with two strikes." The thought being that a pitcher already ahead in a count wouldn't dare throw at a batter for whom the most likely outcome for his scenario playing out would be an out.
Slow your roll, pilgrim. What if I told you that the majority of hit by pitches came while a pitcher was ahead in the count? I suppose that wouldn't be entirely surprising considering that a pitcher is more likely to throw outside of the zone while he's ahead in the count, and quite obviously, not all hit by pitches are the result of a pitcher intentionally throwing at a batter. At least not this Century. I can't really speak to what went on during the days of Old Hoss Radbourn.
Unless the brazen Cole Hamels is teaching some young whipper snapper with no respect for the game a lesson on how to play baseball the right way, we're pretty much left to guess whether a pitch that hits a batter was intentional or not.
Sometimes, it's obvious:
Sometimes, it's not:
However, given that more than 40% of all 21,137 hit by pitches since 2000 came with two strikes in the count, it's not completely unreasonable to suspect that maybe one or two of those had some intent behind them. And if not intent, surely a few pitches came in on batters from the hand of a hurler with a devil may care attitude. Another way of looking at it would be to ask what better way there is to mask intent other than tossing a pitch at the opposition after getting ahead in the count.
All of this is to say that, "Hey, look, there were two strikes," isn't sufficient evidence that a ball between the shoulder blades was unintentional. It merely means that a pitcher had no better way of maintaining his innocence.

Now if you look at the small one notice how his right arm goes out and his left leg goes in do the same opposite to the other side.But notice how the feet looks funny You Have to change it to make it look more realistic or like you know w/e.
Now you see his feet and how i change it you must see something like that to make it look like its walking forward and not just his legs sliding down and up.
Okay see the order it goes in it need to be something like that i was lazy so i just flipped it and in the end it should look like this.
Well that's and again im just giving some ideas or some..uhh stuff to people who want to learn ...
Next is making the people look more alive then just standing there..with little ones its kinda hard to do so imma show you on the big one.
-Okay so first thing you wanna do it make it look like the character base or mob is actually breathing or alive.
Here all i did was move the body down a bit lol.. its just as simple as that OR you can make him blink which is a LOT easier.
Well whatever just mess around a bit with it im just here to show you stuff you have to learn your self Like what i told my friends who come to ask me "I can't teach you but you can Learn from me :D"
