I just love it when I hear about assistive technology in the mainstream media, not just on those usual online sites where I go to find this information. I mean, when you go to a web site dedicated to assistive technology and its use by people with disabilities, its not really any big surprise to learn about the latest tech innovation.
So, you can imagine my surprise on Sunday night when I heard an ad for a Captioned Phone In an ad on one of the local, Houston-area television stations. Here's the ad that played. Granted, what is being spoken in the ad isn't a perfect description of everything that is being displayed on the screen, but even a blind dude like me can get the general message of what is going on during that ad. There was some additional print information from the ad that my wife read to me, but the information provided in the audio was pretty evident on describing the product. It basically uses voice recognition and speech-to-text technology to provide a real-time caption to the conversation the user is having. Ideal for people with some degree of hearing loss, the Captioned Telephone (CapTel) works like any other telephone with one important addition: It displays every word the caller says throughout the conversation. CapTel phone users can listen to the caller, and can also read the written captions in the CapTel's bright display window. On the web site, CapTel's Benefits are described as:
If you're interested in learning more about this revolutionary phone, check out this video, or read the FAQ page. While the ad I caught was sponsored by CapTel Texas and Relay Texas, There is also a Availability page To see where else this program can be found across the United States. And, for you Texas residents, here's a great final note: Texas residents may qualify to receive a free CapTel telephone through the state's Special Telecommunications Assistance Program (STAP). Or, Texas residents can purchase a CapTel phone directly. |

By Polina Devitt and Maxim Rodionov MOSCOW (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Russians marched through central Moscow on Sunday, carrying banners declaring "I am not afraid" and chanting "Russia without Putin" in memory of murdered Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov. Families, the old and young walked slowly, with many holding portraits of the opposition politician and former deputy prime minister who was shot dead while walking home from a nearby restaurant on Friday night. His supporters have blamed the authorities. "If we can stop the campaign of hate that's being directed at the opposition, then we have a chance to change Russia.
Two US astronauts on Sunday made speedy work of their third spacewalk to get the International Space Station ready for the arrival of more commercial spacecraft in the coming years. Tethered to the outside of the orbiting outpost, space station commander Barry Wilmore and flight engineer Terry Virts reported no problems with their spacesuits during the outing, but Virts discovered a small amount of water building up in his helmet after he re-entered the space station. A similar problem occurred after Wednesday's spacewalk, when about three inches of water collected in Virts' headpiece, but NASA said the problem did not put the astronauts in danger.
By Matt Spetalnick and Dan Williams WASHINGTON/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Defying U.S. President Barack Obama, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington on Sunday to warn Congress about the risks of a possible nuclear deal with Iran in a speech that has imperiled ties between the two allies. Israel fears that Obama's Iran diplomacy, with an end-of-March deadline for a framework accord, will allow its arch foe to develop atomic weapons -- something Tehran denies seeking. Earlier this week, Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, said the partisanship caused by Netanyahu's looming address was "destructive to the fabric of U.S.-Israeli ties".
By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - From the moment U.S. prosecutors stand up on Wednesday and begin their case against accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, their minds and those of their defense counterparts will be focused on just one thing: The death penalty. Tsarnaev, 21, is accused of killing three people and injuring 264 with a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs left at the race's crowded finish line on April 15, 2013, in the largest mass-casualty attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001. "The bottom line is you're not going to get a not guilty in this case," said Jules Epstein, a Widener University School of Law professor who has represented defendants in federal and Pennsylvania death penalty cases. So every move is with an eye on the end game and that is avoiding death." Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to all charges and his attorneys have offered little detail on their case, with the bulk of both prosecution and defense filings under seal in Boston federal court.
By Richard Cowan and David Lawder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress narrowly averted a partial shutdown of the U.S. domestic security agency late on Friday night, but the forces behind the chaotic episode remain - fractious Republicans and House Speaker John Boehner's lack of control over them. In five to seven months, the federal debt ceiling will again be reached, and by October Congress must pass spending bills to keep the government running in the new fiscal year. Failing to deal effectively with these issues could have much more damaging repercussions - such as a broad government shutdown or a debt default - than a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Some conservatives speak of ousting Boehner, but it is unlikely they can muster enough votes, while others made clear on Friday that they were willing to take big risks to score ideological points. Brinkmanship like this, reminiscent of 2013's 16-day federal government shutdown, was supposed to be over.
The United States is moving to deport at least 150 Bosnians suspected of taking part in war crimes and ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the New York Times reported Saturday. The report said US immigration officials had identified about 300 immigrants believed to have concealed their involvement in wartime atrocities, but the number could eventually top 600. More than 100,000 people were killed in the 1992-95 Bosnian war which followed the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. "As long as we are alive, war criminals will never be in peace.

Burning the Prairie
The annual Prairie Ridge controlled burn took place on November 19th. As in past years, our natural resources manager, Brian Hahn, led a team of highly skilled firemen from the NC Division of Forest Resources and Western Wake Fire Department in the burn, focusing this year on the lower prairie. Controlled burns mimic natural processes and are an important part of the management of our prairie, helping to reduce the competition from woody plants and replenish vital soil nutrients. The underground roots and seeds of the grasses and wildflowers are protected from the effects of the fire and will quickly regrow into a healthier prairie.You might see blackened areas near the pond and along the Forest Trail over the next few weeks, but keep an eye out for wildlife in the burned areas! We often see increased activity in our small mammal populations and birds of prey in burn areas.

Prairie Ridge Nature PlaySpace Now Open!
After an opening preview event on Wednesday, September 25, the Nature PlaySpace at Prairie Ridge officially opened to the public on Saturday, September 28 during our annual Take a Child Outside (TACO) celebration. Over 300 people attended the opening and TACO events and helped make the day a huge success! After story time and a productive citizen science ladybug hunt, the PlaySpace was opened with great fanfare as our Director of Research and Collections, Dr. Jason Cryan, cut the vine and let everyone explore the new play area. Visitors enjoyed facilitated free-play time in the tunnel, at the water stations, digging in the fossil pits, and exploring rotting logs while others explored the Prairie Ridge grounds with staff as we searched for grasshoppers and turtles. It was a beautiful day, and people streamed in long after our opening ended. We had a lot of fun, and we are excited to offer the PlaySpace as a new activity at Prairie Ridge.
The PlaySpace is now open to the public our regular hours, Monday–Saturday from 9am–4:30pm and Sunday from noon–4:30pm, so come on out and play!

Nature Stories Gets a Strong Start
Thursday, August 22 marked the start of a new weekly program at Prairie Ridge aimed at young children: Nature Stories! Children gathered around our outdoor amphitheater and enjoyed a story about a caterpillar transforming into an adult butterfly before acting out the steps of metamorphosis themselves. After the story, everyone visited the Prairie Ridge garden to look for live butterflies. Participants got a little sidetracked by a Black Rat Snake curled up in the American Wisteria, but everyone had a chance to see several beautiful butterflies and caterpillars and listen to the Pipevine Swallowtail Caterpillars chewing the Woolly Pipevine. Over 40 people attended our first Nature Stories, and we are looking forward to offering more stories and nature adventures each Thursday from 10-11am. We hope you'll join us!

Science in the Treetops
As part of a larger project researching tiny creatures called water bears, Dr. "Canopy Meg" Lowman brought students, volunteers, and the public to Prairie Ridge on August 9 to demonstrate how researchers get high into trees to collect scientific samples. Tree climbing experts rigged several trees with ropes, then invited everyone to take a turn scaling a tree. People of all ages and mobilities, including several wheelchair-dependent people, climbed high into the treetops to see how canopy researchers do their work. People streamed in all day and dozens of people had a chance to experience what it's like to be a canopy researcher. It was a fun opportunity for everyone involved, and one we hope to have repeated!

Moth Enthusiasts Swarm to the Lights
In spite of the rainy beginnings, the second annual celebration of National Moth Week at Prairie Ridge proved to be a popular event! Dozens of visitors came out to view moths at our five light stations and enjoyed a walk through the forest to visit trees painted in moth bait. Many of our evening's moth-ers snapped photos for a variety of citizen science projects as well, making valuable contributions to our scientific understanding of moths. We even added several new species of moths to the Prairie Ridge moth list, including the spectacular Tulip-tree Silkmoth! Most visitors got a rare glimpse of our resident flying squirrel and everyone took home at least a few new facts about moths. It was a great night!

WRAL Weather Broadcasts from Prairie Ridge
Prairie Ridge played host to a special guest on Thursday, June 5: WRAL meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner! She and her crew broadcast the noon weather report live from the grounds. Before each weather segment, Ms. Gardner did a quick interview with Museum staff members. The head of the Museum's summer camps, Megan Chesser, was first, teaching viewers about dragonflies and upcoming summer camp opportunities. In the second segment, Prairie Ridge director Charles Yelton showed off the Purple Martin babies from the nests near our outdoor classroom and encouraged viewers to attend our weekly Citizen Science Saturday walks on Saturdays from 10:30-11:30. We enjoyed having Ms. Gardner and her crew here and hope they will come back to do more weather reports in the future!

Gnomes and Fairies Abound at Prairie Ridge
Prairie Ridge's annual celebration of nature for young children, Gnomes and Fairies Spring Up at Prairie Ridge, took place Saturday, May 18. Over 200 visitors of all ages took advantage of a variety of activities, including a nature scavenger hunt, a citizen science ladybug hunt, nature crafts, science story time, and child-friendly outdoor activities during the three-hour event. Children and parents were also given their first opportunity to give feedback on our upcoming Nature Play Space. The event culminated in a parade of fairies and gnomes raucously shaking their homemade noise makers as they walked through the prairie in a long procession. Everyone had a great time learning and playing together outside, and we are already looking forward to next year's event!

Homeschool Day Returns to Prairie Ridge
Prairie Ridge hosted the semi-annual NC Museum of Natural Sciences Homeschool Day on April 15, a day of nature-based learning geared toward homeschool families. Several Museum and Prairie Ridge educators worked together to offer a variety of lessons for homeschool students of all ages, such as looking for animals under logs, studying decomposers, going on a bird hike, or joining a ladybug hunt to collect data for the Lost Ladybug citizen science project. We had a great group of visitors this year, with over 50 children and teens participating in the lessons. Homeschool Day is always a fun day of nature learning, discovery, and activities, so consider joining us next year!

Statewide Star Party a Huge Success!
Prairie Ridge participated in the kick-off event of the NC Science Festival, the Statewide Star Party, on Friday, April 5, 2013. Even though we were one of nearly 50 Star Party sites throughout the state, we still had a great turnout of over 200 people! Visitors were able to get an up-close look at the stars thanks to members of the Raleigh Astronomy Club who brought telescopes out for star and nebula gazing throughout the evening. Our wonderful volunteers taught visitors how to participate in sky- and space-themed citizen science projects, such as Globe at Night, and led several activities for kids in our outdoor classrooms. It looked like the weather wouldn't cooperate, but things cleared up perfectly and we ended up having a beautiful evening of stargazing, learning, and star-themed fun!Special thanks to the Raleigh Astronomy Club and the NC Science Festival for helping make this event possible!

Fire on the Prairie
Prairies like that at Prairie Ridge depend on periodic wildfires to prevent the growth of trees in the fields. Fire kills small trees and saplings, clears the land, and fertilizes the soil, essentially wiping the slate clean so that the prairie plants can grow back strong from underground seeds and roots. To mimic what occurs in nature, our prairie is divided into three sections and one section is burned each year. Our latest burn took place on February 18 when the wind speed and direction, humidity, temperature, and prairie moisture were just right so that the section of the prairie closest to the entrance could be burned. The prescribed fire was led by our own Brian Hahn with help from the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources and the Western Wake Fire Department. About 30 onlookers watched the hour-long fire consume the grasses, saplings, and other vegetation on the prairie.
You'll see blackened areas at Prairie Ridge over the next month or so, but the grasses will grow back come spring. Until then, look for increased bird activity over the burn area! The fire opens the prairie up, making the burn area an excellent place for birds to hunt.

Bird Banding at Prairie Ridge
A team of ornithologists has been studying the birds of Prairie Ridge since 2006. Birds are safely trapped in mist nets on the grounds every two weeks, weighed and measured, and released. If the birds captured do not have leg bands, a sort of identification bracelet that harmlessly and permanently wraps around the leg of the bird, a band is added before the bird is released. By reading the bands on all the birds captured in the mist nets, scientists can learn many things about their biology. By comparing weights and measurements to previous captures, longevity and health can be assessed. We can also track migrations and territoriality through banding programs.
A number of species have been captured and banded at Prairie Ridge, including Northern Cardinals, Indigo Buntings, American Goldfinches, and White-throated Sparrows. Many of these birds have been recaptured on the grounds since, suggesting that some of these birds consider Prairie Ridge home and either remain on the grounds year round or return to the site after migrations. The most commonly recaptured birds are Northern Cardinals, hardly surprising considering they do not migrate like many other birds in the area. However, some remarkable recaptures have been made as well, each long after the initial banding date. For example, one Northern Mockingbird and one Eastern Tufted Titmouse were each recaptured on the grounds 4 years and 4 months after their initial banding. One Northern Cardinal reappeared on the grounds after a 5-year, 2-month absence!
While the Northern Cardinals are by far the most commonly recaptured bird at Prairie Ridge, several other species have been recaptured multiple times. These include several sparrows (White-throated Sparrow, Song Sparrow, and Field Sparrow), Northern Mockingbirds, and Carolina Chickadees. Other birds have only rarely been captured on the grounds, such as the Loggerhead Shrike, the Swamp Sparrow, and the Yellow Palm Warbler. Oddly, Eastern Bluebirds are a common sight at Prairie Ridge during the summer and fall, yet recaptures are rarely made on site.
These data are being used to fuel a variety of studies by researchers at the Museum, but can also help other researchers with their work. By submitting our band and recapture data, researchers from around the country, and even around the globe, can learn more about the biology of birds. And perhaps you can learn something new about birds! Now is a great time to see winter birds at our feeders, so why not make a trip out and see what new things you can discover?

An Augusta woman who police said was upset about a Columbia County adoption proceeding Thursday morning attacked members of the adopting family with a crowbar and stun-gun at an Evans restaurant before finally being subdued and arrested.
Police said Iyana Nicole Herbert, 23, of the 3500 block of Windsor Spring Road, followed Lisa Harrison into the Cracker Barrel at 522 N. Belair Road after damaging the family car in the parking lot.
Seventy-seven percent of Georgians say they are "somewhat prepared" for a weather emergency, and Columbia County officials rate their community as being in very good shape to respond to a disaster.
"We have a very high rate of preparedness," said Pam Tucker, director of the Columbia County Emergency Services Division.
"We actually meet and succeed the Storm Ready certification. If anything happens, our county government is extremely prepared."
"Sound off! One, two! Sound off! Three Four!" It was all chants, checkered flags and Cub Scouts at Wildwood Park last week for the Wide World of Racing camp.

Gov. Nathan Deal has recognized three Columbia County educators as Master Teachers.
Kathleen Kohl, Kimberly Wall and Jessica Wilkerson will carry the title of Master Teachers for seven years. Fifty-five other Georgia teachers were also recognized.
A Master Teacher must positively influence student achievement, provide professional practices in the classroom and exemplify dedication and passion for teaching.
Joseph Hartwell Marshall Sr. boarded a Georgia Railroad passenger train during the mid-1890s and headed to Atlanta, where he planned to attend Georgia Tech. He never got there.
In his 20s at the time, the Appling native saw a newspaper story that described the adventures of gold mining in the West. It was enough to derail his college plans.
A courthouse researcher was charged with theft of public documents after records related to ownership of a storm-damaged road in Barrington subdivision vanished from the Columbia County Clerk of Superior Court's records room.
Vanessa Robin Waldron, 53, an employee of Augusta-based Lawyers Abstract Co., was charged with two counts of stealing or altering public documents and one count of making false statements or writings, according to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office booking report.

(Nate Shron/Getty Images)Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim doesn't seem to be enjoying his post game press conferences lately. Losers of their last three of five, the Orange dropped a close one to Marquette on Monday night, getting beat on the road by the Golden Eagles 71-74.Boeheim's took a number of jabs at the media after the game and also gave his two cents about the decision of the NCAA to move Syracuse out of the Big East and into the ACC after this season. The testy exchange with reporters Monday night comes less than two weeks after Boeheim publicly called longtime ESPN college basketball reporter Andy Katz an 'idiot...and really a disloyal person' to his face in the press conference following Syracuse's loss to UConn, the final in-conference game between the two storied programs.The comments begin at the 2:16 mark in the footage below, with Boeheim denying a reporter's claim that he said the Orange, currently No. 12, have been able to get by this season without having a guy with a killer instinct.Boeheim picks up his frustration with the reporters at the 7:40 mark:"Any more coaches here? Want to ask another coaching question? I'd be happy to take it. I've only been doing this 37 years, I'm sure you've got more ideas of who we should play or we shouldn't play or who should lead? What do I know?"And then he went on to provide some colorful commentary on the current and future state of the Big East:"If they had signed the TV deal for $17 million per school, I guess they are signing one now for about 2.5. That was a good decision. Big East brought it on themselves. Sign the TV deal and nothing would have happened. They were going to get more money? Didn't work out that way. More ideas for me, guys? I think you ought to know by now if you start asking me those questions, I just laugh at you. That's all I'll do. Go get your Pulitzer some place else."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGmxv93Hwgo (h/t Brian Timmreck for the footage) Promoted Stories Comments

The item arrived quickly and fit the description. I am very pleased and like that it is reversible. If you tend to not make your bed every day you may not like the wrinkles. It does seem to wrinkle easily but lays flat once the bed is made.

About Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill needs no introduction – despite recent setbacks, her legacy in both hip-hop and R&B will likely resound until their dissolution. She was a pioneer, an equally talented spitter and songstress who brought The Fugees to international acclaim alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras (not to mention her eight-times-platinum, GRAMMY-award-winning solo debut The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill). She dropped out of the public eye in 2001, citing dissatisfaction with the music industry and the spotlight in general, but has slowly remerged in recent years, her music having taken on a much more political bent (see "Neurotic Society", "Repercussions" and "Consumerism"). Throughout her 23-year career, she's collaborated with D'Angelo, Method Man, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Paid & Live, Nas and more. Unfortunately, she served a three-month prison sentence for tax evasion in late 2013, but is now in the midst of a homecoming tour, having written a letter of recognition to fans as well. We at HNHH wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
Facts Only
- Her multiple talents include producing and acting.
- Lauryn Hill grew up Baptist.
- She attended Zach Braff's Bar Mitzvah.
- Lauryn has an older brother named Malaney.
- Hill has Hill has six children, five of them with Bob Marley's son Rohan.

She has very small hands so her finger couldn't reach the trigger because the grip and gun were too big.

I helped steer my wife into shooting a few years back. She used to have nothing to do with guns but now she shoots almost every week, cleans her own guns, applied for her concealed carry permit, etc... In fact, I think she has become obsessed with it. Even more so than me. In fact last week she tried to take my Dillon 550 and thats where I had to draw the line.

Check us out! We have a large selection of new guns and shooting accessories for sale!
An update: The female AA ticket agent asked my wife why she had a gun in her luggage and my wife said it was for her personal protection and for the protection of her mother-in-law. The agent then asked a series of genuinely interesting questions including what kind of weapon it was, was it hard to shoot and how does one get a CHL in Texas. Ended up that my wife recommended her instructor

I can't believe you really put a picture of your wife on the internet of all places.
I know, I know, you are smarter than me..just ask you..
no worries.........that's how we met. Her picture was on the internet in a dating profile
I won't tell you what my wife said she would do to me if I did that..
Beautiful gun she is holding...and your wife is as well. Luck.
I know, I know, you are smarter than me..just ask you..
Does she have a sister?
Keep your powder dry
She didn't actually shoot that gun, did she??
mocarryguy: posting a picture on the internet is no more threatening than walking down the street and letting people look at you. Plus, she carries. Come on...
My wife just got her concealed carry purse today. Her Bulldog .44 special was in it about 2 minutes later, oh, and yes she can cook very well

Naw dude. Giant tits might match some fatty but you still don't want to bang a fatty. I'll bang a size 2 at the maximum.
would you mouth bang a fatty? The theory is their mouth muscles must be so good from eating all that junk food they will slobber your dick something good.

Paid Inclusion Under Fire at Search Engine Shindig
Paid Inclusion Under Fire at Search Engine Shindig
Matthew Hicks
Posted 2004-03-03
Ask Jeeves bows out of a paid inclusion program a day after Yahoo's embrace of the method, turning the topic into a heated industry discussion Wednesday at the Search Engine Strategies 2004 conference.
NEW YORKThe debate over the fairness and relevancy of paid search spilled onto the stage at the Jupitermedias Search Engine Strategies 2004 conference here on Wednesday. On one side: Google Inc., which objects to any commingling of paid search with its Web index. On the other: Yahoo Inc., which embraced this week a
program for letting Web sites pay to be included
in its recently launched Web index. And in the middle: Ask Jeeves Inc., which has dropped one paid program, where Web sites could provide XML feeds into its index, while maintaining another for paying to submit sites for crawling.
The varying positions demonstrate the evolving field of Web search. The battle to deliver the most relevant results, and to make money, has intensified now that
Yahoo has switched from Googles search results to its own technology
and as Microsoft Corp. builds its own technology.
The latest shift was Ask Jeeves discontinuation of its Index Express program for direct XML feeds into its Teoma search engine index. Paul Gardi, Ask Jeeves senior vice president of operations and planning, said the company was not denouncing the practice of paid inclusion but dropped that form because it didnt return relevant results for users. "It really is critical if you put information in the index that it is found in a relevant way," he said. "That method of paid submission was not meeting that requirement." Ask Jeeves, of Emeryville, Calif., is continuing its Site Submit program, where sites pay to guarantee that their pages get crawled, Gardi said.
But Google and Yahoo, in a far-reaching panel discussion here on the future of search, did stake out clear opinions on whether Web sites should be able to pay to ensure their pages are indexed.

Google will continue to ban any paid inclusion into its Web search index, said Craig Silverstein, Googles director of technology, which drew applause from the audience. The Mountain View, Calif., company follows a strict division between its advertising business for sponsored search links and its ranking of regular results, he said. "Its hard to be sure that the end result of the algorithm would be the same and that everyone is being treated fairly," Silverstein said of allowing paid inclusion.

In honor of this day celebrating and honoring women, worldwide, I've assembled 15 of some of my favorite inspirational quotes from women along history and across the globe:
1. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
- Eleanor Roosevelt, former US First Lady
2. There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.
- Indira Ghandi, Former Prime Minister of India
3. Age is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least, get out of the way so you won't get run over - Miriam Makeba, South African musician and singer
4. It doesn't matter who you are, (or) where you came from.The ability to triumph begins with you. ALWAYS. - Oprah Winfrey, American Media Conglomerate head, Philanthropist
5. You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable. - Cathy Freeman, Aboriginal Australian Olympian
6. Tremendous amounts of talent are being lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt. - Shirley Chisholm, Unbought and Unbossed, First Caribbean American and First Black woman elected to the US Congress
7. There is an old and very wise Native American saying: Every time you point a finger in scorn—there are three remaining fingers pointing right back at you. ― Alyson Noel, Native American author
8. If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing-- Margaret Thatcher, Former Prime Minister, United Kingdom
9. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. - Mother Theresa, humanitarian, Indian
10. I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions. - Lillian Hellman, American author and playwright
11. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough. - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's First Woman President (Liberia)
12. A woman obsessed with her body is also obsessed with the limitations of her emotional life. - Kim Chernin, The Obsession, American author
13. The grim possibility is that she who "hides her brains" will, more than likely, end up with a mate who is only equal to a woman with "hidden brains" or none at all. - Lorraine Hansberry, "In Defense of the Equality of Men" in The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women, Playwright and Author
14. I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you. ― Frida Kahlo, Mexican painter
15. I am not afraid... I was born to do this. - Joan of Arc, Revolutionary and Martyr from France

Modeling of a biased liquid-crystal capillary waveguide
JOSA B, Vol. 23, Issue 9, pp. 1843-1851 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (356 KB)
A numerical scheme for modeling the waveguiding properties of a biased capillary tube infiltrated with nematic liquid crystal is presented. The structure of the liquid crystal under bias is determined by solving the Poisson equation for the electrostatic field and minimizing the elastic free energy of the liquid crystal in a self-consistency procedure. The resulting dielectric tensor is calculated, and the guided modes of the capillary waveguide are found. Results are reported for E7 liquid crystal in a single capillary as well as for a periodic geometry. The influence of the surrounding dielectric structure upon the liquid-crystal structure of an individual capillary tube is found to be minor. The photonic density of states of a square array of biased capillaries is calculated and is found to be highly tunable with respect to both the spectral positions of peaks and bandgaps as well as the widths of the photonic bands.

The wait is over.
The Knitting Monthly is open again for membership!
If you sign up for the annual option, you get the entire archives!
That's over 250 pages of articles, videos, and patterns!
The Coastal Knits Collection is now ready for purchase! With names like Driftwood, Ocean Lights, Inlet, Beachcomber and Abalone, the designs conjure up images of beaches, waves, and summer breeze. Walking the coast and combing for treasures.
Beachcomber is just one of the five new spring 2015 designs in my Coastal Knits collection. It's an easy cardigan to make with flattering drape fronts that move and swing with your body. The stitch pattern may look complicated, but it's really quite easy. All these factors make it a perfect addition for your knitting wardrobe. Plus it's a great year round sweater to wear, too!
Even though it's been labeled intermediate, I would urge any confident beginner to take the leap. I think of it more like an "intermediate beginner" rating! It is knit in 5 pieces with very little shaping. The fronts and back are simple rectangular shapes. With a modified drop styling, it only requires a bind off where the armholes are. The modified drop is easy to work and takes the excess bulk out of the armhole that a drop shoulder style would add.
Remember I said very little shaping? That brings me to the sleeves: no "keeping in pattern" when increasing the stitches, which is a real worry for those not as experienced. The increased stitches are worked in stockinette stitch until 4 stitches have been increased. Because the stitch pattern is a repeat over 4 stitchess, after the 4 increased stitches are added, you just begin the pattern as before. Plus, if you knit the back and both fronts first, you should have the pattern memorized by the time you get to the sleeves and it will be easier to deal with the added stitches.
That brings me to the stitch pattern. This is an old favorite of mine, called "Mrs Hunter's Pattern" that I discovered in Barbara G Walker's "A Treasury of Knitting Patterns." If you're wondering who the heck Mrs Hunter was, Barbara explains she "was a member of the famous Hunter family of the Isle of Unst. The Hunters began and developed the art of Shetland lace knitting…" Pretty impressive! It is a beautiful mesh-like stitch. I love it because it adds texture and interest to an otherwise stockinette stitch base by simply slipping every 4th stitch and passing it over the following three. The next row replaces the passed over stitch with a yarn over.
Here it is: Give it a try and then you'll be all ready to cast on for Beachcomber when you're ready!
Cast on a multiple or 34 sts. It needs to be a multiple of 4 plus 2, but if you go with 34 sts, you'll have a nice swatch when you're finished to check your gauge for Beachcomber!
Row 1: (RS) Knit
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K2, *sl 1, k3, psso the 3 knit sts; rep from *to last 2 sts, k2.
Row 4: P2, *p3, yo; rep from * to last 2 sts, p2.
Repeat these 4 rows for pattern.
Note: Abbreviations used in pattern above: K or k: knit; P or p: purl; psso: pass over; rep: repeat; RS: right side; st(s): stitch(es); WS: wrong side; yo: yarn over. Psso might stump a beginner, but it's really just a matter of picking up the slipped stitch with your left needle and pulling it over the 3 sts just knit. It creates a little "necklace" around the 3! For a yarn over, take the yarn over the right needle and then between the needles to the front again. This creates an extra loop on the needle, replacing the stitch that was passed over from the previous row to restore the stitch count.
If you'd like to purchase Beachcomber, or any of the collection, they're available now in my ravelry shop.
The Knitting Monthly lives right here on this website, wildflowerknits.com.
No, it is not free. It is an ongoing monthly subscription, not unlike a magazine. But it's more than that; it's also a community of knitters. And a new class every month!
Each month I focus on one featured technique, such as Fair-Isle and stranding techniques, or short-rows, grafting, and on and on. In introducing the technique, I write an article or series of articles on the aspects of the technique. My husband then video tapes me working the featured techniques or stitch patterns. The videos are close-up and easy to follow.
Then there are the projects. Yes, I design a new project every month. These are normally smaller projects, such as accessories, like shawls and cowls – and home items, but sometimes we do a larger project. The larger projects are normally a design I'm working on for an upcoming season; members get exclusivity (an aded plus) with the first chance to knit it.
Another added plus: many of the projects can be done with stash yarns so it's a great club for stash-busting, too. However, I do also have kits available most months. For example, the Striations cowl below uses 7 colors of Mesa, from Tahki yarns. It was first introduced as a Knitting Monthly pattern.
Ok, so I've mentioned the articles, the videos, the projects. There's also a private forum. Oh- and I throw in a recipe each month just for fun, too.
It used to be that you could just jump in at any time, but I have recently moved my website to a new platform that enables me to offer so much more in terms of a membership site. In this transitional phase, I have closed the signup for new members, but it will be opening up again very soon.
The best way to get in on the details is to sign up for the waiting list - or if you already get my newsletter, you won't miss out. Either list will give you the scoop when it's open again.
I wrote not long ago about Stash-Busting and organization; this time I thought I'd talk about one of my favorite stitch patterns to use with odd bits of yarn. Chevron stitch patterns are great for using up small bits of different colors and/or textures in one piece. And that makes the Chevron stitch pattern a great choice for stash-busting projects.
The Chevron stitch pattern is created by alternating increases and decreases, resulting in a zigzag effect. In fact, it is sometimes referred to as the Zigzag Stitch. An added plus and distinguishing feature is the scalloped edge that forms from the shaping. This makes a nice beginning and end to items such as scarves and throws with no extra effort. Depending on the placement of the increases and decreases, this can result in very angular edges or more rounded.
Another great feature of the Chevron stitch patterns are the seemingly endless variations. They can be knit all in Garter Stitch or alternated with Stockinette Stitch or any combination. Even the type of increase and decrease can be varied.
While Chevron stitch patterns look complicated, they really aren't.
You'll just need to know a few techniques:
Another decrease that is often used in Chevron stitch patterns is a double decrease. It decreases 2 stitches at once. It is made by slipping 2 stitches as if to knit, knitting 1 stitch, then passing the 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch (p2sso). This is used in the Basic Chevron below and the photo at the top of this post.
Basic Chevron
Worked over a multiple of 12 stitches plus 3.
Row 1 (RS): K1, ssk, *k9, slip next 2 sts, k1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch; rep from *, end k9, k2tog, k1.
Row 2: K1, *p1, k4, (k1, yo, k1) in next st, k4; rep from *, end p1 k1.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 for pattern. Change colors every 2 rows as desired.
Here's a variation of the same Chevron Stitch pattern where the increases and decreases are all on the same row:
Row 1 (RS): K1, k2tog, * k4, (k1, yo, k1) in next st, k4, slip next 2 sts, k1, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the knit stitch; rep from * to last 3 sts, ssk, k1.
Row 2: Purl.
Garter Stitch Chevron
Worked over a multiple of 11 stitches plus 2. Even rows are RS rows.
Rows 1-5: Knit
Rows 6, 8, 10,12: K1, K2tog, k2, kf&b of next 2 sts, k3, sl1, k1, psso; rep from * to end.
Rows 7, 9, 11: Purl
Both the number of garter rows and chevron rows can be altered to change the look of this one, too.
Yet another variation is the Feather and Fan stitch pattern. We see the yarn overs used as a decorative feature in Feather and Fan. Rows 3 and 4 can be repeated any number of times to add longer sections of stockinette stitch in between the chevron shaping row (Row 1).
Feather and Fan
Worked over a multiple of 18 stitches plus 2.
Row 1: K1, *[k2tog] 3 times, [yo, k1] 6 times, [k2tog] 3 times; rep from *, end k1.
Row 2: Knit
Row 3: Knit
Row 4: Purl
I've dubbed this "Sally's favorite" over the years because it IS my friend Sally's favorite! Check out Sally's Favorite Scarf pattern.
