8 Knit & Crochet Patterns To Celebrate the Season Finale of Downton Abbey!
March 1st, 2015
Downton Abbey finishes up it's 5th season tonight and I can't wait to see all the 1920s fashions. Downton's fabulous fashion sense was always a big draw for me because I just love vintage styles. As I'm gearing up to watch this last episode, I'm making a list of patterns that I think would fit a few of my of my favorite characters from the show.
Check out what I've picked out below for characters past and present:
This Embellished Beanie in Homespun® would look great if you had a bob like Lady Mary. | Little George would look very handsome in this Cabled Vest in Cotton-Ease®. |
I can picture any of the upstairs Downton women wearing this Textured Raglan Jacket in LB Collection® Organic Wool! | Lady Rose often sports a very simple and stylish look on the show- making the Shaped Cabled Top in LB Collection® Superwash Merino a perfect fit for her! |
Lady Sybil was a very empathetic character, so this Vegan Fur Poncho in Pelt® would be just perfect for her … if faux fur existed back then. | This Flapper Hat would be great for any of the ladies of Downton Abbey – upstairs or downstairs. Make it with Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick® for a very cozy and stylish hat to wear. (note: this is a paid pattern) | Cora's mother is a very fashion-forward woman and would definitely be seen wearing this Vintage Glam Turban in Vanna's Glamour®. | This Car Coat in Wool-Ease® Thick and Quick® is perfect for any lady who's heading up to London for business or pleasure. |
10 Things We're Doing Besides Knitting & Crocheting
February 27th, 2015
Here in the marketing department at Lion Brand, we talk a lot about knitting and crocheting and yarn and magic loops and swatches and yarn weights (we know our DK from our super bulky) and and and … bottom line is that we're all experts in one way or another when it comes yarn. We can talk about it all day — and we do! You may however be surprised to know that we're also fairly well-rounded with an excess of interests, hobbies and obsessions that go beyond the hooks and needles.
We thought you might enjoy a peek into our inner worlds. Have fun and please share some of your own personal interests outside of knitting and crocheting in the comments below.
Zoe: I've been playing Destiny, a futuristic first-person shooter from the creators of Halo. My Warlock alter ego finally acquired the elusive Gjallarhorn and is well on the way to becoming legend. With so many minions of darkness to destroy, it's tough choosing between needles and controller!
Sarah: Sunday mornings, I'm curling up with a cup of tea and a Rehab Addict marathon on HGTV. My favorite weekend breakfast sandwich: Spread half an avocado onto a toasted everything bagel and top with three slices of bacon (I cook my bacon in the oven like Ina's recipe to avoid a greasy kitchen). During the week, instead of knitting on the subway, I like to listen to podcasts. My favorite at the moment is 99 Percent Invisible which is a podcast about design. It covers things that you wouldn't expect like the origins of the sports mascot, buildings that once housed Pizza Huts, and the way airports are laid out to get you to buy food. I love learning these fun facts!
Shira: Being a single lady in the city and Brand ambassador for Lion brand Yarn, my social life has definitely taken off. I no longer have time for one of my favorite things to do … hang out with my two cats Psy and Thai and catch up some really good TV like the New Girl, or another one we love Scandal. If I try to knit while I watch TV, the kitties try to help, but their version of "help" is not really helping so watching TV is like a mini-vacation from my Yarn life.
Petrina: I'm trying to brighten up my apartment more and find myself getting into gardening. Recently my in-laws gave me some paperwhites as a gift and I planted them a few weeks ago so they're just starting to bloom now – just in time for spring!
Brandyce: I've been doing a lot of cooking lately, and since it's so cold here in the northeast, soups have definitely been a favorite of mine. I recently came across this Butternut Squash Quinoa and Kale Stew recipe from Love and Lemons, and it was great! I also added Mushrooms for some extra texture – and think it could taste even better with maybe some bacon pieces or chorizo. I will definitely be making more of this soup; it's so hearty and flavorful.
Ilana: To relax and stay in shape, I do yoga regularly. Even though I don't really enjoy most exercise, yoga gives me an immediate feeling of relaxation by the end of the class. I started practicing about six years ago because I felt stiff when I woke up in the morning. Doing yoga regularly solved that problem and makes me more mindful of my physical health so I'm not as likely to fall into bad habits.
Danielle: Sad that the new Modest Mouse will be released later than expected, I at least found comfort in an engrossing little ebook called, "Crocheting with Kurt Cobain". Kind of, sort of, not really about Kurt Cobain or crocheting, it's about a deceased law student who's stuck between heaven and earth and must somehow atone for her wrong-doings before she can get entrance to heaven. I couldn't put it down … I'm also excited about all the amazing shows coming to New York City this year – Björk, Yoko Ono, Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, to name a small few! It's a good time to visit if you can work it into your travel plans.

The Studio Knit-Along – My Adventure Continues
February 24th, 2015
I've never been more determined to finish something I'm knitting in my whole life! I feel as though I am in the Knit-Along Olympics, competing against myself. It's not really a competition, but this week when I showed up with my ribbing, and everyone else had their back portion done and they were either finished or half way done with the front part of the sweater, I realized I needed to pick up my game. The group is spurring me on. I'm knitting like a fiend, trying to catch up to these ultra-fast ladies.
So I have run into a few hiccups.
As I was knitting, doing my increases every sixteen rows, I looked at my fabric and saw there was a big gaping hole in the back panel! I had dropped a stitch and it was ten rows back. How was I going to fix this? Will I have to rip it out?! How will I know where I was? I started to sweat. What to do …
I went through my collection of crochet hooks, and I'm going to be honest, I've never been so thankful for a crochet hook in my life! I took some calming breaths and saved the stitch, bringing it back up to the needle.
My next challenge? Counting rows …
I'm scared to find out what happens if I mess up the counting. Ann, the KAL instructor, had suggested I get a row counter, but what do you do about traveling? How do you know it won't get pushed? That's all I need, to think I'm on row 16 but I've really done 25 rows. Then what happens? I travel all the time with my knitting, how does one count rows while traveling on a subway?!
My mission and to end on a positive note!
I am on a mission to finish my front and back panels this week because I cannot wait to start the side panels and sleeves of my sweater. The good news is that I love knitting with Heartland®. It can only get better from here right?
Crochet a Chelsea Morning Cowl in two movies or less!
February 24th, 2015
Lion Brand®'s LB Collection® Silk Chiffon Ribbon is made from recycled silk sari fabric and I just love it. As a big fan of mori girl fashion – a Japanese street-style that focuses on forest-like aesthetics, layering, and upcycling – this handcut, artisanal yarn is a dream come true.
Thinking about the colder weather, I used the yarn to create a garment I call the "Chelsea Morning Cowl". With some help from our Design department, I've made this pattern available to you so you can make one yourself!
Since each skein of Silk Chiffon Ribbon is one-of-a-kind, I decided to pair it with Wool-Ease® Thick and Quick® in the color Grey Marble – it's a good neutral to use to emphasize the color scheme of the Silk Chiffon Ribbon. My skein featured beautiful blues and purples.
Mori girl focuses a lot on layering, so I created an eyelet design to highlight an outfit underneath the cowl. Since I'm a petite person, I normally wear it as a cape.
The best part of this pattern? It's a super quick project and can be finished in under four hours – that's about two movies or four episodes of your favorite television show!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Opening 'great learning experience'
Bombers CEO contrite about game-day failures
Given the year-long delay in the opening night of Investors Group Field, Winnipeg football fans were justifiably surprised to find themselves in the middle of an apparent construction site when the Blue Bombers played their first pre-season game.
On Wednesday night, fans struggled to avoid tripping across a ladder and dolly left on the west-side concourse. An asphalt machine was puttering outside the southeast corner of the building.
Some seats were congealed in a layer of construction dust, paint-flecked clothing was left in a stairwell and some surfaces remained unfinished.
Winnipeg Football Club president and CEO Garth Buchko described the remaining work to be done to the $200-million stadium as "touchups, mostly" and noted he personally assisted the final beautification efforts in the lead-up to Wednesday's kickoff.
"Two hours before, I was pushing a broom, cleaning up cement dust. That's just the reality of the situation," Buchko said at a press conference Thursday to address the issues with opening night.
Work on the stadium went so close to the wire, the City of Winnipeg only issued a final occupancy permit on Tuesday, a day before the first football game. Hence the visible presence of construction materials and equipment.
"If you saw those things, they shouldn't have been there," Buchko said.
On the bright side, a long-rumoured failure to complete concession stands at the new stadium turned out not be true. Many concessions were not open on Wednesday because roughly one-quarter of the concessions staff were unable to attend the game in time, Buchko said.
This resulted in long lineups at the concessions that were operating, restricting the movement of fans throughout the stadium's much-vaunted open concourse -- and restricting views of the playing field.
The west-side stands wound up being just as congested as the concourse at the MTS Centre, a building that was crammed into a small footprint. Investors Group Field was designed to provide a superior fan experience, at least in comparison to the one offered by Canad Inns Stadium, currently under deconstruction at Polo Park.
Buchko, who has been forced to come before the media to address disappointments before, was again contrite on Thursday when asked to consider the significance of Wednesday night.
"We're looking at this as a great learning experience. We have to learn from it. We have to get better," he said.
"I don't think it was a disaster. It was certainly disappointing when we don't satisfy our customers."
Despite the disappointing game-day experience on opening night, most fans interviewed by the Free Press and other media outlets seemed happy with the venue. The sightlines from almost all seats are as excellent as they were advertised to be. The seats are spacious and comfortable. The new public-address system is exceptionally clear.
There were also short lineups in most men's washrooms, which are not only devoid of troughs but adorned with touchless sinks and hand-dryers.
Playing devil's advocate, it's possible to accept the failure of the event-day transportation plan on Wednesday as a necessary part of the learning curve associated with the new stadium. But it's tough to understand how a stadium delayed by a year can require so many "touchups" at the last minute.
The purpose of this new, mostly taxpayer-funded stadium was to provide the non-profit Winnipeg Football Club with the revenue it needs to remain a viable Canadian Football League franchise.
Those revenues won't materialize unless fans actually like the new stadium. In order for them to do so, it must be fully complete before the June 27 Bombers home opener.
There are only so many chances for a new venue to convey a first impression.

About Bartley Kives
Bartley Kives wants you to know his last name rhymes with Beavis, as in Beavis and Butthead. He aspires to match the wit, grace and intelligence of the 1990s cartoon series.
Bartley joined the Free Press in 1998 as a music critic. He spent the ensuing 7.5 years interviewing the likes of Neil Young and David Bowie and trying to stay out of trouble at the Winnipeg Folk Festival before deciding it was far more exciting to sit through zoning-variance appeals at city hall.
In 2006, Bartley followed Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz from the music business into civic politics. He spent seven years covering city hall from a windowless basement office.
He is now reporter-at-large for the Free Press and also writes an outdoor-recreation column called Offroad for the Outdoors page.
A canoeist, backpacker and food geek, Bartley is fond of conventional and wilderness travel. He is the author of A Daytripper's Guide to Manitoba: Exploring Canada's Undiscovered Province, the only comprehensive travel guidebook for Manitoba – and a Canadian bestseller, to boot. He is also co-author of Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg, a collaboration with photographer Bryan Scott and the winner of the 2014 Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award.
Bartley's work has also appeared on CBC Radio and Citytv as well as in publications such as The Guardian, explore magazine and National Geographic Traveler. He sits on the board of PEN Canada, which promotes freedom of expression.
Born in Winnipeg, he has an arts degree from the University of Winnipeg and a master's degree in journalism from Ottawa's Carleton University. He is the proud owner of a blender.

Last week was so much fun! Lots of friends, food and fun! Two of my friends met up with me (on different days) at one of my favorite coffee shops – Stomping Grounds. I've been to this place several times now (see here , here , and here !) and it never disappoints. Ever. One of the reasons why I love Stomping Grounds is that they support local food. Are you getting tired of me talking about the importance of local food? I sure hope not! I cannot stress enough how important it is in my life. On Wedneday and Thursday, I ate dinner here. Wednesday I had the vegetarian sandwich (so good – I wrote about it before here ), but didn't photograph at all. Thursday I had the egg salad sandwich while meeting with the lovely Anna . She is student teaching now and gave me some cool technology resources she learned from one of her mentor teachers. I also got to fill her in on my life – and my new job. I remember being a brand new teacher and just trying to soak up all the resources I could (and still do that!). The great thing about being a teacher is that everyone is willing to share ideas. I do not mind at all (and encourage) when someone wants to use one of my ideas. You can really tell these eggs are fresh. And, this is the best egg salad I have ever had. Incredible, edible, eggs! Greens were great too {homemade balsamic…mmmmmm}! Friday evening, Micah and I headed to Ritual Café in Des Moines. Some of my students were performing in an event and we went out to support them. It was awesome and the place was PACKED!!! I could not believe how many people came out! Performances included singing, comedy acts, playing violin, reading poetry and more – I loved every minute of it. Ritual Café has a 100% vegetarian menu. I ordered the vegan grilled veggie panini. Holy yum! That hummus……rocked!!! The tomatoes reminded me of late august – a nice surprise! It was a messy sandwich, but I didn't mind at all licking the plate clean. The rest of our weekend has been pretty relaxing. To end our weekend, we took a walk at the Iowa State Campus. It was beautiful {despite only being about 37 degrees……spring, where did you go?}. Note to self: Finding a parking space on campus is impossible on a Sunday afternoon. Glad we don't mind walking! How was your weekend? |

Correction Sept. 30, 2009
Audio for this story is not available. The initial broadcast about the disclosure erroneously suggested that RealMed, a medical clearinghouse, was responsible for sending the letters. RealMed had no role in writing or sending the letters. Also, the story erroneously reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not support HIV reporting because of fears that will deter people from being tested. The CDC has advised all states to collect HIV data as an extension of their AIDS surveillance effort. And it has found no evidence name-based HIV reporting is a deterrent to testing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Virtue (Latin: virtus, Ancient Greek: ἀρετή "arete") is moral excellence. A virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting collective and individual greatness. The opposite of virtue is vice.
This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2010) |
The four classic Western Cardinal virtues are:
This enumeration is traced to Greek philosophy and was listed by Plato in addition to piety: ὁσιότης (hosiotēs). It is likely that Plato believed that virtue was, in fact, a single thing, and that this enumeration was created by others in order to better define virtue. In Protagoras and Meno, he states that the separate virtues can't exist independently and offers as evidence the contradictions of acting with wisdom (prudence), yet in an unjust way, or acting with bravery (fortitude), yet without knowing (prudence).
In his work Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle defined a virtue as a balance point between a deficiency and an excess of a trait.[1] The point of greatest virtue lies not in the exact middle, but at a golden mean sometimes closer to one extreme than the other. For example, courage is the mean between cowardice and foolhardiness, confidence the mean between self-deprecation and vanity, and generosity the mean between miserliness and extravagance. To find the golden mean requires common-sense smarts, not necessarily high intelligence. In Aristotle's sense, virtue is excellence at being human, a skill that helps a person survive, thrive, form meaningful relationships, and find happiness. Learning virtue is usually difficult at first, but becomes easier with practice over time until it becomes a habit.
Seneca, the Roman Stoic, said that perfect prudence is indistinguishable from perfect virtue. Thus, in considering all consequences, a prudent person would act in the same way as a virtuous person.[citation needed] The same rationale was expressed by Plato in Meno, when he wrote that people only act in ways that they perceive will bring them maximum good. It is the lack of wisdom that results in the making of a bad choice instead of a prudent one. In this way, wisdom is the central part of virtue. Plato realized that if virtue was synonymous with wisdom then it could be taught, a possibility he had earlier discounted. He then added "correct belief" as an alternative to knowledge, proposing that knowledge is merely correct belief that has been thought through and "tethered".
Loving God, and obeying his laws, in particular the Ten Commandments are central to Jewish conceptions of virtue. Wisdom is also celebrated in the Book of Wisdom.
A classic articulation of the Golden Rule came from the first century Rabbi Hillel the Elder. Renowned in the Jewish tradition as a sage and a scholar, he is associated with the development of the Mishnah and the Talmud and, as such, one of the most important figures in Jewish history. Asked for a summary of the Jewish religion in the most concise terms, Hillel replied (reputedly while standing on one leg): "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah. The rest is the explanation; go and learn."[2]
In Christianity, the three theological virtues are Faith, Hope and Love, a list which comes from 1 Corinthians 13:13 (νυνι δε μενει πιστις ελπις αγαπη τα τρια ταυτα μειζων δε τουτων η αγαπη (pistis, elpis, agape). The same chapter describes love as the greatest of the three, and further defines love as "patient, kind, not envious, boastful, arrogant, or rude." (The Christian virtue of love is sometimes called charity and at other times a Greek word agape is used to contrast the love for God and humankind from other types of love such as friendship or physical affection.) "These are not acquired through human effort but, beginning with Baptism, they are infused within us as gifts from God."- United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.
There are many listings of virtue additional to the traditional Christian virtues (faith, hope and love) in the Christian Bible. One is the "Fruit of the Holy Spirit," found in Galatians 5:22-23: "By contrast, the fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things."[3] (Ὁ δὲ καρπὸς τοῦ πνεύματός ἐστιν ἀγάπη χαρὰ εἰρήνη, μακροθυμία χρηστότης ἀγαθωσύνη, πίστις πραΰτης ἐγκράτεια· κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστιν νόμος.)[4]
The substance that acts on faith, capable of manifesting miracles.
Virtue, as a measurable, spiritually-able substance, as defined by Christ Jesus; recorded by the apostle Mark. According to the King James version of the Holy Bible, from within The book of Mark, Chapter (5), verses (25) through (33) by experiential definition.
25. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26. And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. [5]
Arguably paralleled: As Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen, according to The Book of Hebrews 11:1-3, as quoted from the King James version of the Holy Bible.
1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. [6]
Terminological parallel: By these 2 examples set apart, one is made better aware of the necessity of a greater understanding, of the potential of virtue, as it is paralleled here by both; in "substance,' 'actions' and by the 'Person" of Christ Jesus or The Living Word of God, that each doing their own parts and/or in parallel, act on faith, with virtue and according to Biblical reference, are able to manifest miracles, by the Word of God.
This article is written like a personal reflection or essay rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (November 2011) |
In the Muslim tradition, the Qur'an, is the literal word of God, (Allah), and the definitive description of virtue. The Prophet Muhammad(Be peace upon him) is the messenger of Allah and a best example of Islamic virtues in human form. The hadiths or reported sayings of Muhammad(Be peace upon him) are also central to the Islamic understanding of virtue.
According to the holy book of Qur'an, Islam is the word (which translated meaning is "submission"). The objective of this word is self submission to the will of Allah and obey his all instruction and restriction. Chapter (5) sūrat l-māidah (The Table spread with Food), proclaims that virtue is acceptance to the will of God, acceptance of the ways of God, acceptance of divine grace, of forgiveness, mercy, gracious, true repentance, the redemption, acceptance of the ways of Peace, the acceptance of the way things are. Foremost among God's attributes are mercy and compassion or, in the canonical language of Arabic, I-rahmani and I-rahimi. Each of the 114 chapters of the Qur'an, with one exception, begins with the verse, "In the name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful".[7]
The Arabic for compassion is I-rahmani. As a cultural influence, its roots abound in the Qur'an. A good Muslim is to commence each day, each prayer and each significant action by invoking God the Merciful and Compassionate, i.e. by reciting Bi Ism-i-Allah al-Rahman al-Rahim.
The Muslim scriptures urge compassion towards captives as well as to widows, orphans and the poor. Traditionally, Zakat, a toll tax to help the poor and needy, is obligatory upon all Muslims (9:60). One of the practical purposes of fasting or sawm during the month of Ramadan is to help one empathize with the hunger pangs of those less fortunate, to enhance sensitivity to the suffering of others and develop compassion for the poor and destitute.[8]
The Muslim virtues are: prayer, repentance, honesty, loyalty, sincerity, frugality, prudence, moderation, self-restraint, discipline, perseverance, patience, hope, dignity, courage, justice, tolerance, wisdom, good speech, respect, purity, courtesy, kindness, gratitude, generosity, contentment, and others.[9]
In the Bahá'í Faith, virtues are direct spiritual qualities that the human soul possesses, inherited from God Himself. The development and manifestation of these virtues is the theme of the Hidden Words of Bahá'u'lláh and are discussed in great detail as the underpinnings of a divinely-inspired society by `Abdu'l-Bahá in such texts as The Secret of Divine Civilization.
Many of the virtues are described with special significance in Bahá'í scripture, such as:
The Virtues Project developed by Canadian Bahá'ís Linda Popov, Dan Popov, and John Kavelin, is greatly inspired by the Bahá'í perspective on virtues.
Hinduism, or Sanatana Dharma (Dharma means moral duty), has pivotal virtues that everyone keeping their Dharma is asked to follow, for they are distinct qualities of manusya (mankind) that allow one to be in the mode of goodness. There are three modes of material nature (guna), as described in the Vedas and other Indian Scriptures: Sattva (goodness,maintenance, stillness, intelligence), Rajas (passion, creation, energy, activity), and Tamas (ignorance, restraint, inertia, destruction). Every person harbours a mixture of these modes in varying degrees. A person in the mode of Sattva has that mode in prominence in his nature, which he obtains by following the virtues of the Dharma.
The modes of Sattva are as follows:[citation needed]
Buddhist practice as outlined in the Noble Eightfold Path can be regarded as a progressive list of virtues.
Buddhism's four brahmavihara ("Divine States") can be more properly regarded as virtues in the European sense. They are:
There are also the Paramitas ("perfections").
In Theravada Buddhism's canonical Buddhavamsa[12] the Ten Perfections (dasa pāramiyo) are (original terms in Pali):
In Mahayana Buddhism, the Lotus Sutra (Saddharmapundarika), lists the Six Perfections as (original terms in Sanskrit):
In the Ten Stages (Dasabhumika) Sutra, four more Paramitas are listed:
"Virtue", translated from Chinese de (德), is also an important concept in Chinese philosophy, particularly Daoism. De (Chinese: 德; pinyin: dé; Wade–Giles: te) originally meant normative "virtue" in the sense of "personal character; inner strength; integrity", but semantically changed to moral "virtue; kindness; morality". Note the semantic parallel for English virtue, with an archaic meaning of "inner potency; divine power" (as in "by virtue of") and a modern one of "moral excellence; goodness".
Confucian moral manifestations of "virtue" include ren ("humanity"), xiao ("filial piety"), and li ("proper behavior, performance of rituals"). In Confucianism, the notion of ren - according to Simon Leys - means "humanity" and "goodness". Ren originally had the archaic meaning in the Confucian Book of Poems of "virility", but progressively took on shades of ethical meaning. (On the origins and transformations of this concept see Lin Yu-sheng: "The evolution of the pre-Confucian meaning of jen and the Confucian concept of moral autonomy," Monumenta Serica, vol.31, 1974-75.)
The Daoist concept of De, however, is more subtle, pertaining to the "virtue" or ability that an individual realizes by following the Dao ("the Way"). One important normative value in much of Chinese thinking is that one's social status should result from the amount of virtue that one demonstrates, rather than from one's birth. In the Analects, Confucius explains de as follows: "He who exercises government by means of his virtue may be compared to the north polar star, which keeps its place and all the stars turn towards it."[13]

In Hagakure, the quintessential book of the samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo encapsulates his views on 'virtue' in the four vows he makes daily:
Tsunetomo goes on to say:
If one dedicates these four vows to the gods and Buddhas every morning, he will have the strength of two men and never slip backward. One must edge forward like the inchworm, bit by bit. The gods and Buddhas, too, first started with a vow.
The Bushidō code is typified by seven virtues^ :
Others that are sometimes added to these:
These are the virtues[14] that Benjamin Franklin used to develop what he called 'moral perfection'. He had a checklist in a notebook to measure each day how he lived up to his virtues.
They became known through Benjamin Franklin's autobiography.
Immanuel Kant, in his Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime, expresses true virtue as different from what commonly is known about this moral trait. In Kant's view, to be goodhearted, benevolent and sympathetic is not regarded as true virtue. The only aspect that makes a human truly virtuous is to behave in accordance with moral principles. Kant presents an example for more clarification; suppose that you come across a needy person in the street; if your sympathy leads you to help that person, your response does not illustrate your virtue. In this example, since you do not afford helping all needy ones, you have behaved unjustly, and it is out of the domain of principles and true virtue. Kant applies the approach of four temperaments to distinguish truly virtuous people. According to Kant, among all people with diverse temperaments, a person with melancholy frame of mind is the most virtuous whose thoughts, words and deeds are on the bases of principles.
Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche often took a more cynical view on virtue. A few of his key thoughts were as follows:
Marc Jackson in his book Emotion and Psyche puts forward a new development of the virtues. He identifies the virtues as what he calls the good emotions "The first group consisting of love, kindness, joy, faith, awe and pity is good"[15] These virtues differ from older accounts of the virtues because they are not character traits expressed by action, but emotions that are to be felt and developed by feeling not acting.
Ayn Rand held that in her morality, the morality of reason, is contained in a single axiom: existence exists, and a single choice: to live. All values and virtues proceed from these. To live, man must hold three fundamental values that one develops and achieves in life: Reason, Purpose, and Self-Esteem. A value is "that which one acts to gain and/or keep ... and the virtue[s] [are] the act[ions] by which one gains and/or keeps it." The primary virtue in Objectivist ethics is rationality, which as Rand meant it is "the recognition and acceptance of reason as one's only source of knowledge, one's only judge of values and one's only guide to action."[16] These values are achieved by passionate and consistent action and the virtues are the policies for achieving those fundamental values.[17] Ayn Rand describes seven virtues: rationality, productiveness, pride, independence, integrity, honesty and justice. The first three represent the three primary virtues that correspond to the three fundamental values, whereas the final four are derived from the virtue of rationality. She claims that virtue is not an end in itself, that virtue is not its own reward nor sacrificial fodder for the reward of evil, that life is the reward of virtue and happiness is the goal and the reward of life. Man has a single basic choice: to think or not, and that is the gauge of his virtue. Moral perfection is an unbreached rationality, not the degree of your intelligence but the full and relentless use of your mind, not the extent of your knowledge but the acceptance of reason as an absolute.[18]
Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, two leading researchers in positive psychology, recognizing the deficiency inherent in psychology's tendency to focus on dysfunction rather than on what makes a healthy and stable personality, set out to develop a list of "Character Strengths and Virtues".[19] After three years of study, 24 traits (classified into six broad areas of virtue) were identified, having "a surprising amount of similarity across cultures and strongly indicat[ing] a historical and cross-cultural convergence."[20] These six categories of virtue are courage, justice, humanity, temperance, transcendence, and wisdom.[21] Some psychologists suggest that these virtues are adequately grouped into fewer categories; for example, the same 24 traits have been grouped into simply: Cognitive Strengths, Temperance Strengths, and Social Strengths.[22]

The opposite of a virtue is a vice. Vice is a habitual, repeated practice of wrongdoing. One way of organizing the vices is as the corruption of the virtues.
As Aristotle noted, however, the virtues can have several opposites. Virtues can be considered the mean between two extremes, as the Latin maxim dictates in medio stat virtus - in the centre lies virtue. For instance, both cowardice and rashness are opposites of courage; contrary to prudence are both over-caution and insufficient caution; the opposites of humility are shame and pride. A more "modern" virtue, tolerance, can be considered the mean between the two extremes of narrow-mindedness on the one hand and over-acceptance on the other. Vices can therefore be identified as the opposites of virtues - but with the caveat that each virtue could have many different opposites, all distinct from each other.

text: Pretty much as the title says: Can leaving a bit up lube in the bore make the chambered round not fire? I saw an article on Box-o-truth but he was focusing on leaving oil on the primer, not the neck where it might seep between the bullet and casing (which seems like the more logical thing to test in the first place, and the most likely contact point of liquid and ammo). Has anyone heard of any problems with this? Maybe something to do an experiment with?

Ford Acts Promptly For Customer Safety By Recalling 2013 Escapes With 1.6-liter Engines And 2013 Fusions With 1.6-liter Engines For Risk Of Overheating That May Result In Engine Fires
Ford is voluntarily recalling these vehicles because of reports of engine overheating, resulting in engine fires while the engine is running. No injuries have been reported.
Some drivers who have experienced high engine temperatures followed by engine fires say that their clusters have shown the message "Engine Power Reduced to Lower Temps" or "Engine over temp, stop safely." Some also indicated that their instrument clusters sounded a chime and illuminated a red light.
Drivers who see any of these indications should safely pull off the road as soon as possible, turn off the engine and exit the vehicle. Ford will compensate owners for costs tied to overheating as well.
"We have identified an issue and are taking actions in the best interest of our customers," said Steve Kenner, director of Ford's Automotive Safety Office. "It is important that affected customers not ignore this recall and contact their dealer as soon as possible. While we recognize the inconvenience recalls cause our customers, we are taking these actions on their behalf to help ensure their safety."
Ford is working on a repair procedure. When parts are available, the company will notify customers so they can schedule a service appointment with dealers. Meanwhile, Ford is advising affected owners to contact a Ford dealer as soon as possible for alternative transportation at no cost to the customer; U.S. owners also may call 866-436-7332 and Canadian customers also may call 888-222-7814 for details on securing alternative transportation. Customers can see if they are affected by the recall by:- Checking their 17-digit VIN, located on a label on the driver door opening, at the base of the windshield on the driver's side of their vehicle, or on their vehicle registration. In vehicles with 1.6-liter engines, the eighth character will be "X" on Escapes or "R" on Fusions;
- Logging onto Ford.com, click "View Notices and Recalls" in the "Support" tab and input their VIN to determine if their vehicle is part of the recall;
- Calling 866-436-7332 in the U.S. or 888-222-7814 in Canada; or
- Contacting a Ford dealer

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I'm not a fan of westerns. Up until about a month ago, when I thought of a western I thought of overly long and essentially non-exciting landscape films where little happened, and the film plodded on for a ridiculous amount of time. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY changed all that. Made in 1966 and directed by perhaps the biggest name in the genre, and definitely the BEST, Italian Sergio Leone, the film is just incredible. The running time does clock in at nearly three hours, but I dare you to find a boring moment in the entire movie. It simply is one of the finest crafted films I have ever seen, containing a constantly evolving storyline following three of the most interesting and charasmatic characters ever portrayed on the big screen. Another factor in how good this film is has to be the sound and music score. The music was created by Ennio Morricone, who in my opinion, is one of the best ever to put music to some of the classic films over the years. His soundtrack to John Carpenter's 1982 film THE THING was just haunting and utterly horrific, making the film that much more scary and unnerving, and here, he created one of the most recognizable and beloved themes ever in film. Besides the music, there's also incredibly innovative use of sound by Leone. At times we hear absolutely nothing, and Leone makes up for this by creating some fabulous visuals, and at others, sound is incredibly fused with these amazing visuals to create one of the most powerfully stylish and completely incredible viewing experiences I've ever seen. The story follows three main characters; the good (played to a rough and tumble "T" by Clint Eastwood), the bad (Lee Van Cleef, in a completely menacing and downright frigtening role at times), and the ugly (Eli Wallach, who in my opinion makes the film as far as acting goes). These three characters meet up in various ways throughout the film, ultimately embarking on a race to get to a buried fortune in gold. Another factor in how good this film is is the setting. The film takes place in the American west, but also occurs during the time that the civil war is tearing the country apart. Leone offers an interesting and decidedly different approach to the war. In one of the best scenes, there's a futile and bloody battle between the blue and the grey at a bridge. The battle really serves no purpose for either side, yet they continue to fight it out, suffering heavy casualties with every offensive move. Leone really goes off the beaten path in his depiction of the war in relation to the story in the film. It ultimately becomes a powerful, and very realistic look at the conflict, quite a statement coming from an Italian. Besides the interesting setting, this one is chocked full of effectively filmed shootouts and action sequences. There's a great scene of Eastwood and Wallach facing off in a deserted and dusty town with a bunch of Van Cleef's gunmen as cannon shells land around them. Eastwood also suffers through what has to be one of the most brutal sequences I've ever seen when Wallach forces him to walk 100+ miles through the desert without a hat, horse, or water. By the end of this, Eastwood is literally a wreck. Excellent makeup is also used to create the revolting effect of Eastwood's face being beaten on by the hot sun, and you can literally see his skin pealing off. Nasty! The climactic scene in a shoddily constructed cemetery is also a great scene. Wallach and Eastwood find the tombstone under which the treasure is supposedly buried, but along comes Van Cleef. It turns out it isn't the right tombstone, but does anyone even know where the money is? Anyway, this scene involves a great final shoot-out scene between our three main characters, and it has to be one of the best film climaxes I've ever witnessed. Excellently shot. In the end, this film introduced me to a new genre of films which I am no doubt going to check out. Previous entries in Leone's trilogy with Eastwood (cast as "The Man with No Name") include a couple of other highly regarded films, A FISTFULL OF DOLLARS, and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, which I now feel completely obligated to see. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY is simply one of the best films ever made. It deserves to be seen by everyone, and if you find yourself being bored with the length of the film, shame on you.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Overall the tour was great! Our tour guide, Aubyn is really knowlegeable and great to be with. He provided great information about Vancouver, BC and BC in general.
guide was great and we had a wonderful time. Vancouver is such a beautiful city.
This was our only day to see Vancouver and the City Tour was an excellent way to see the city. Graham was an excellent, knowledgeable tour guide, and we had a very enjoyable day. Definitely would recommend it!
Amy did an excellent job. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We had a family member and Vancouver resident with us on this tour, and even she learned some things she did not know. Y'all get 5 attaboys!
We had 1 day to tour Vancouver before a cruise in June 2014. We chose the Vancouver City Sightseeing tour. It was a great choice.
The tour was 4 hours long and took us to a variety of places in Vancouver. The tour people were great. Our bus was on-time and picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and our driver got us to every destination and entertained us along the way. The real value of this for us was to give us as first-time visitors a taste of Vancouver.
The highlights for us were visiting Stanley Park and Granville Island. Granville was packed because of a children's arts and crafts fair, but our driver got us where we needed to be, and met us back at the very same spot, even though he had to move the bus while we wandered through the markets because of parking restrictions.
Finally, we accidentally left a package on our bus. We called the tour company, gave them the information, and they found the package and brought it to our hotel in less than 30 minutes. It was great service all the way around.
Our 16-year old son was with us and enjoyed it, too, which is saying a lot for a 16-year old on a 4-hour city tour with mom and dad. We plan to go back to Vancouver next summer and will definitely use the tour company again.
Mike was great. His knowledge and his laid back style in imparting it made for an excellent tour of Vancouver. Would certainly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our tourguide, Paul, was knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information about the city. We did not have but 3 days in Vancouver, so this tour provided us a good overview and we were able to prioritize the sights for our remaining days.
We really saw and did a lot in the 4 hours alloyed for the tour. The tour director was great. If you only have 1day in Vancouver, this is the way to go. We could never have done thus on our own.
Very informative and fun. Knowledgeable guide., Noah. An easy ride.
I highly recommend this tour, great way to explore the main points of interest in downtown Vancouver.
This tour is excellent - well worth the price - we had Mike as our guide, and he was wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful tour.
Best city tour we have ever done ,great tour guide he was funny very knowledgeable called everyone by first name which can't be easy ,the four hour tour flew in .
This is a great tour to take if you are in Vancouver. It gives you the hidden gems of this city and takes you to places that you would miss if you were on your own. The tour guide was great. The tour gives you an idea of where you would like to visit later on if you like to come back and spend more time there. It is worth taking.
My girlfriend and I decided to take this 4 hr city tour because we had a very limited time in Vancouver. We had a blast , we listened to historical stories along with taking lots of pictures. We asked n requested to be picked up and dropped off at the diff hotel and they fulfill it. It was awesome!!

Hello friends,
Not so long time ago I started working with Dreamstime as an exclusive contributor. I never had any satisfying income with print sales so when I had a chance to go with stock images / photography, I took it. And I love it... It's wonderful to do something you truly love as your profession.
But being exclusive has its own rules. I shut down my stores on Zazzle and Redbubble which never had any sale - completely deleted my accounts. Here on deviantArt I put everything in storage - that's the fastest way to remove all images from print sales also. But if the images still keep appearing on google image search then I might be terminate my account here too. This is serious this time... Because I don't want any trouble. It's fine to have a portfolio and pages on social sites. It's ok to have a portfolio here too - but I only sell my work through Dreamstime. So if you can't see me here one day, don't panic. I don't know if keeping images in storage can prevent them appearing on image searches (at least after some time passed and cache cleaned) - if it is then I can keep my dA account.
Again I'm giving the links to my profiles on other social sites, you can add me there if you still didn't...

Vt. Tax Dept. notes homestead declaration changeFebruary 01,2013
MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Taxes is reminding residents that theres a change in the tax law regarding homestead declarations.
In the past, property owners had to file the declaration whenever there was a change in ownership or status of the property.
But starting this year, property owners must file such declarations annually by tax day, April 15.
Property in Vermont is considered nonresidential until it is claimed as the owners homestead.
A property owner must file a homestead declaration if the owner owns and occupies the property as his or her primary residence and is domiciled in Vermont.
Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson says filling the declaration is critical to paying the correct amount of tax.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The Vermont House has advanced a wide-ranging bill that pushes utilities other than...
