Governor Pence on ABC News March 29, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

I note Governor Pence of Indiana practices deflection to any question posed. George Stephanopoulos asks the governor yes/no questions like "Should it be legal to discriminate against LGBT people? Pence then goes into hemming and hawing but never actually gives a yes or no answer.
It makes Governor Pence look like a complete horses ass. And it makes the Governor and the Legislature of Indiana look like asshatted bigots.
I mean if you want to get down to brass tacks this is an endorsement of religion is precisely what this law in Indiana is, a tip to Christians.
But if you read your U.S. First Amendment – there's that pesky little section "Congress shall make no law establishing religion nor prevent the free exercise of religion."
And virtually EVERY state in the nation has a constitution that includes similar language. But the phrase is pesky but it's clear – the STATE cannot make law or endorse any religion, but individuals have free exercise of their religion. It's just the the free exercise has been fairly appalling as of late.
This is going to end up in the courts at some point in the near future. I can see it coming. And Governor Pence – you're an asshole.
Ordered an OBD-II scanner March 26, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

I figure I'm going to start shopping for cars soon. I've got a fairly good size tax refund coming and I prefer used to new since I can outright own the car. Plus add to the fact I'm spending a few hundred a month on ZipCar rentals.
Don't get me wrong I love ZipCar – the ability to drive a whole bunch of different vehicles gave me the chance to see what I like.
The top two vehicles – a BMW X3 and a Volkswagen Golf. The only thing the two have in common is that they're German but beyond that polar opposites.
However I want a smaller car. So the Volkswagen wins.
Surfing Cragislist I see a ton of Golf's for pretty short money. A lot of them are 5 speed manuals. I'm good with that as I know how to drive a car with manual transmission. Plus I like the simplicity of a manual transmission as opposed to an automatic transmission.
But you can get an OBD-II scanner for really short money, around $20 these days. And if you look under the dash of every car made since 1996 – you'll see something that looks like this:
They come in other colors too – like black, blue, pink, orange, etc. But just plug your scan tool in, start the carl, give it a drive and then read the codes being thrown. Helps in price negotiations. :)
And the other thing – if I do end up getting a Golf I'll likely spend the money to get the timing belt and clutch replaced. May as well do it right off the bat. I'd probably also change all hoses and belts too and the oil and filter while I'm at it.
I did see there is one Golf TDI not too far from me in Griswold, CT. Might go look at that since the diesel version gets about 52MPG. And that T means Turbocharged. The only concern I have is that diesel fuel tends to gel up when it gets cold. I do know you can get anti-gel compounds though so it wouldn't be too bad in the winter.
Almost got pissed at Amazon March 26, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

So I signed up for Amazon Prime a few weeks ago. So tonight I noticed there were some videos I might want to watch. Clicked on one and got the odious message that I had to install Microsoft Silverlight. No I don't have to do that.
If you read this blog enough you KNOW I dislike Silverlight. It ranks up there was one of the biggest flaming pieces of excrement that Microsoft has ever produced. It's a system resource hog for one – you can watch it consume every bit of a quad core system if you just pull up task manager.
Now I had railed against Netflix about this for some time and they finally, if you're running Google Chrome allowed you to watch videos without having to install Silverlight.
So I called Amazon support. Got right through and asked if there was any way to not have to use Silverlight to view videos. They walked me through setting it to use Flash instead. I mean that's acceptable but really Amazon, h.264 would be better especially with HTML5 compliant browsers.
But alas it works. That is how I almost got pissed at Amazon.
Maybe a solution to teleportation March 23, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
add a comment
So I was thinking today. The way a digital camera works is fascinating. In essence it dumps all 12MP or more row by row.
Well to teleport we need to be able to scan the entire body in very fast fashion. But using a technique like that in CMOS camera sensors might just be adaptable to the storage problem.
So I've mastered Eggs Benedict March 22, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
Tags: Eggs Benedict, food, Hollandaise

So I had been trying multiple recipes for Eggs Benedict. If you don't know it's a poached egg with Hollandaise sauce over sausage and a bread.
Hollandaise is nothing but egg yolks, clarified butter, lemon juice and seasoning. In a double boiler whisk the egg yolks until they almost triple in volume from the air being incorporated. Then drizzle in the melted clarified butter while still whisking. Then a dash of lemon juice, some salt and pepper and a little warm water if you need to thin the Hollandaise. Now that I've got it down this is good – because the next Hollandaise I make is destined for some steaks.
Now the poached eggs. Get about 3 or so inches of water simmering lightly in a pot. Add a splash of white vinegar. Take your utensil and swirl the water around. Now crack in the whole egg. Give if 2 to 5 minutes depending on how solid you want the yolk.
Then onto some lightly toasted bread with a chicken sausage patty you lay the poached egg and then coat liberally int he Hollandaise. And don't forget to season your poached egg – a little salt and pepper is all it takes.
I keep meaning to take a photo but always get involved with the cooking process and no time to snap a shot. So you'll just have to imagine.
And the name of the dish originates from 1894 from One Lemuel Benedict wanted a hangover cure. And thus Eggs Benedict was born.
The latest drug where death is a potential side effect March 22, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
1 comment so far
So I'm watching hulu and a commercial for Januvia pops up. It's for Type 2 Diabetes treatment.
As I'm listening I hear it can cause pancreatitis which can also lead to death. Yes, death is a side effect. I think that death as it is could actually be worse than the disease.
I'm at that phase in my career/life March 21, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

Where what I know is far beyond what the vast amount of folks know.
It's to the point where if I pontificate on the future I get the standard blank stare. Or even in an interview when I mentioned I had information security experience to the point where I had trepidation about swiping a credit card. Got a really great laugh out of the interviewer. At least he had an understanding of what I was talking about.
But put me in a non technical situation and all bets are off.
For example when I met with my State Representative and City Councilor the State Rep asked what I did for a living. So I said what I tell everyone, I'm a Senior Linux Engineer. In that particular case I got asked "What's that?" so I brought it down a few levels and said "Computers, I work with computers."
Some people are a bit more graceful about it though. I recall one instance where I was doing my future pontificating and the other party said to my SO to hold onto that one honey. Funny!
People don't realize the future is going to be VERY interesting. I'll start with a fairly simple one, dentistry. They're experimenting with ways to re-grow the enamel and pulp of a tooth. Which would mean no crowns, bridges, etc. Just re-grow the tooth.
Or Medicine where they're experimenting with DNA based nano-machines/robots that can deliver a treatment directly to a tumor and nothing else. Or the usage of measles, adenovirus and even attenuated HIV to knock out cancer using the immune system. And as referenced above regarding dentistry, it's regenerative medicine. Imaging growing new limbs, organs, no more paralysis from spinal injuries, in essence they're starting to learn how to put the human body back together to make it whole. That's fascinating.
And then there's DARPA – they are getting heaving into the regenerative and even AI and all sorts of interesting things.
I know about this stuff – most people don't.
Want to try an exercise in annoyance – try turning off Talkback on Android March 18, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
Tags: Android, Google, Talkback
add a comment
So somehow Talkback got turned on on my Android phone. Touching anything started the phone reading the description of what I'd touched to me. Really annoying. I suppose it's for the visually impaired but then a touch screen phone is sort of a lost thing on the visually impaired in the first place although at this point in time I doubt you can get a phone that isn't touch screen these days.
But it wouldn't let me swipe across screens – then I googled – you have to use TWO fingers to swype.
I disabled the talkback app anyhow. It's stupid. Bad on you Google for including that in Android. You should have thought that through.
RI Most likely to legalize recreational Marijuana. March 18, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
add a comment
This is great news. I say it because I see benefits of both regulating the product, taxing it, and allowing people the freedom to use the product in their own homes.
Here's the RI House Bill.
And the author and sponsors of the bill don't surprise me in the least.
Representative Scott Slater represents Providence District 10.
Representative Brian Newberry represents North Smithfield and Burrilville.
Representative Edith Ajello is former Judiciary committee Chair and represents Providence DIstrict 1.
Representative Chris Blazejewski represents Providence District 2.
Represetnative Anastasi Williams represents Providence District 9.
So of the five – four are Providence based. And I know a lot of us have reached out to all of them regarding this. It's a win-win for the state. FIrst of all it's tax revenue that the state could definitely use now that cigarette taxes are declining. But it also means no criminal convictions for the producers, sellers and customers. That's a big expense wiped off the books. In fact I think the bill should go further and pardon all those convicted of drug trafficking where the drug was marijuana.
Star Trek Reboots on YouTube March 15, 2015Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

There are a fair number of Star Trek reboots on YouTube.
There's "Star Trek Continues", "Star Trek Phase II" and "Star Trek: Odyssey" are the ones I've found so far.
One them though has a gay couple in it. This was always a blind spot for the creator of the Star Trek series, Gene Rodenberry. There was some hope that Star Trek The Next Generation might include a gay character but it never happened.
I'm glad to see the reboots addressing the issue though. And all of it is on YouTube. In fact I think it's in Star Trek Phase II you have a human and bajoran same sex couple. Very interesting.
Oh and Star Trek Phase II – it has Captain Kirk's nephew Peter Kirk as a crew member. And yes, Peter is gay too.

At the request of the United States of America Centre for Marine Conservation, the Nigeria Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research organised a beach clean up at the Bar Beach Lagos on September 24 1994. An International beach clean up is usually held on the last Saturday of every September during the COASTWEEK. On this day, volunteers all over the world participate in a beach clean up in an effort to collect data and information on the types and amounts of debri littering the world's beaches. Volunteers for the Bar Beach clean up of 1994 were drawn from all works of life and some Federal and States agencies. A total of 10,872 pieces of different kinds of debri weighing 531.1kg were collected during the clean up. Further analysis of the different debri showed that plastics constituted 37% of the debris collected on the Beach. Other items included paper, which amounted to 16%, metal 3%, foamed plastics, which amounted to 10%, rubber which, amounted to 7%, wooden pieces which amounted to 7%, broken glass which amounted to 7%, and cloth pieces which amounted to 3% of the total debris collected. In all, the data showed that the Bar Beach, which is the most popular tourist beach in Nigeria, is very dirty. The result of this exercise could be useful in the formulation of an effective beach and even coastal zone management policy.

REVIEWER: Novice chef
Love this recipe. Very similar to my date & walnut slice. This recipe, however is lighter and not as dense looking. In future, I would follow this recipe but substitute the sultanas with one cup of tightly diced dates and 1/2-1 cup diced walnuts. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy.
REVIEWER: marney1864
Thank you for sharing such a simple, delicious and foolproof recipe. I add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and sometimes chopped pecans. This has become a staple in our house, It is quite a good keeper, too.
REVIEWER: Fishandchips
Such a quick , moist and delicious loaf. I used raisins and sultanas and cooked it for 40 minutes in a fan forced oven at 155 degrees. It is so tasty , spread with a little butter. Thankyou for a great recipe.
REVIEWER: bluewren046
I love making this fruit loaf it is so simple, hubby loves it says it tastes just like fruit cake. I use only half the amount of sugar as hubby is a diabetic. Last time I did not have a full cup of mixed fruit so supplemented it with chopped apricots.
REVIEWER: tainsley
And the more you make it the more ingredients you can add/change... I use half cup sultanas, and the other half cup is made up of coconut, mixed seeds and cranberries - depends what I have in the cupboard. All work well!

In answer to the ever-intensifying global water crisis, industrial designer Talia Radford has created the AquaIris, an elegant, portable water purifier for developing countries with tropical climates that is simple to use and requires no electricity! How does it work? Contaminated water enters the AquaIris, passes over a removable/re-usable filter, then travels under a layer of 'converter crystals' where germicidal UVC rays purify the water molecules as they pass by.
At Inhabitat we believe that great design can change the world for the better and Talia Radford's AquaIris is a brilliant example of inspired design in the service of an important issue – 1 in 6 people do not have access to safe, clean drinking water. The AquaIris is portable and easy to use; the directions are even printed right on the lanyard. The form, which echos the hexagon — 'the geometry that water molecules form travelling in pairs within the body' — is simple, elegant and beautiful enough to be discovered at Cooper-Hewitt.
There is some debate about the science behind the AquaIris. Chatter on Radford's blog has questioned the 'converter crystals' and the proposed effectiveness of UVC purification through/in plastics and/or glass, particularly on cloudy or overcast days.
Regardless, we love the AquaIris. Once the kinks are worked-out we hope to find it in production — and saving lives — soon. We are not alone in our admiration. Like the Contortionist folding bike we brought you earlier, the AquaIris has been shortlisted for a James Dyson Award, a well-deserved honor. Good luck!

Raised Garden Beds in San Diego
I'm planning on putting in 2 4ft x 6ft raised beds over the next couple of weeks. I'll be using one for strawberries (yes, I know I'll need to enlarge it after a couple of years) and the other will have pickling cucumbers and tomatoes. I'm going cross-eyed from all the research, but have a few (hopefully) basic questions....
1. Best material to build the beds. If lumber, treated or untreated? I worry about chemical contamination. What kind of lumber is best? I've heard cedar is, but not sure if they carry it at the local Lowes or HD (or how expensive it is).
2. If using lumber to build the beds, will those attract termites? The beds will be approximately 15 feet from the foundation of the house. We had to treat the house when we bought it and that's a headache I don't need again.
3. I've heard of people using concrete blocks, but worry about chemical contamination and cost.
4. Best kind of soil? I'm looking at a mixture of 70% Sandy Loam Textured Soil- 30% Humic Compost from the municipal composting facility and mixing in perlite and maybe manure as well. I have a compost bin started, but it's not ready yet so I'm stuck going with store-bought products for now.
5. Gopher control. We've got a major gopher problem in our yard. They're cute, but if they get into my garden, there's gonna be trouble.
Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
If you are building directly on your existing soil, I would attach 1/2 inch hardware cloth to the bottom of the wood to stop gophers. How deep will the beds be? Will you have access from both sides? If you are concerned about the life of the wood and do not want to use pressure treated, you can coat the inside to protect the wood. Al
I use plain old lumber and it rots after about three years- termites, but also fungus. I do not believe the wood attracts termites; I think they are already there, at least in our neighborhood. We get swarms all over the street at the first warm rain.
You can use redwood if you want it to last longer, and redwood is more termite resistant. Concrete blocks are not very pretty, but you don't have to cement them together, so you can move the beds. I wouldn't worry about contamination from concrete blocks. You can plant strawberries inside each cell, too.
A few tips- mine are 4 feet wide and I wish they were only 3 feet wide so that the plants in the middle were easier to reach.
What Al said about hardware cloth. It's expensive, but so worth it!
Your main problem will be keeping root knot nematodes at bay. Some soil already has them. You can also import them from nursery stock. The main plants they infect are strawberries, tomatoes, and cucumbers, eggplants, and squash, and they kill the plants just when the first fruits are setting.
I have nematodes and my beds are now useless. I have tried digging all of the soil out and replacing it, planting marigolds, solarizing, letting it go fallow, you name it. Do not import the nematodes in the first place! Grow your plants from seed. Build more beds so that you can rotate the crops that are susceptible to nematodes. Grow nematode-resistant tomatoes. Grow your strawberries in pots so that you can throw the soil away if necessary.
And it sounds really, really yummy.
Contamination isn't really an issue, but if you are worried, you can use redwood. Another option is Trex or one of the plastic decking materials, but you need to support it a lot more since it is flexible. Three foot wide beds are easier. Hardware cloth will control the gophers. I use native soil, homemade or store bought compost, fine redwood "groundcover" bark, and used potting mix containing "Dry Stall" horse bedding in mine.

Owner Muriel Guepin opened the gallery about two and a half years ago.
Formerly working in finance, her goal was to make art accessible to adults and children and get people to really take an interest.
"I wanted to encourage people to get rid of their posters and buy real art at affordable prices," Guepin said.
Guepin's gallery first opened at 51 Bergen Street and then moved to its current, larger space.
"With the reopening into the bigger, new space, the gallery aims to exhibit larger pieces of art, as well as installations and sculptures. Also, the bigger space now allows for an ambitious new art program for both children and adults," the gallery's website explains.
The focus is mainly on Brooklyn artists. Guepin choose this location because it is the neighborhood she has lived in since she came to the United States 17 years ago.
"I really wanted to have a gallery in my neighborhood to try to encourage people to support their own artists in their own community," said Muriel.
"I feel that people are usually intimidated to go to an art gallery, so I wanted to have a different setting, try to be more engaging and in that sense I am hoping people in the community can support art in their community."
The gallery offers art programs for children, with an after school program during the school term and a camp during the summer.
Muriel wants to encourage kids to be more creative and send them the message that it is good to have an interest in art -- she explained how kids love to look at the art and feel welcome in the gallery.
Every six weeks the gallery changes the art on its walls and children hate to see the art they love go, but enjoy seeing new pieces arrive and have the opportunity to fall in love with art all over again.
Currently hanging on the walls of the Muriel Guepin Gallery is the artwork of two different artist, Tamiko Kawata (left) and Supakitch.
Supakitch is a French-born artist living in Brooklyn who is influenced by music and Japanese culture.
Tamiko Kawata is a Japanese-born artist now residing in the U.S. She creates meaningful art through the use of non-meaningful material like rubber bands and baby pins.
The Muriel Guepin Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday -- for more information on the gallery, its art and artists visit www.murielguepingallery.com

Why was "tantrum" trending last week?
"very much, extreme," 1979, from Italian mondo "world," from "Mondo cane," 1961 film, literally "world for a dog" (English title "A Dog's Life"), depicting eccentric human behavior; the word was abstracted from the original title and taken as an intensifier.
Very large or very much; humongous, important: She had a lot of things on her desk top, including a mondo-size slo-mo printer/ I've got a mongo bruise on my leg from field hockey/ You'd think it took some kind of miracle, or some mondo engineering breakthroughadverb

Looking for sofa where top of seat cushions are high
shelendeJuly 2, 2010
I am interested in the Lane Emerson fabric sofa, partly because the height from floor to seat cushion top is 23 inches. I have not found other sofa's to be as high up off the floor. Can anyone recommend any other fabric sofa's without a skirt that are high up and also have a little pizzaz, for a den?
Rmanbike, you are correct, I later found out that the correct seat height for the Emerson is 20 inches. The only sofa's I could find that are as high as 21 are King Hickory. The Zoe model is what I am trying to locate so I can see if it is comfortable but none of the retailers that King Hickory lists have that sofa in their stores. I find the Emerson (called Athena in JCPenny) to be comfortable but I am not ready to give up.

Iker Casillas encourages young people in Uzbekistan to volunteer
On 5 December, the world celebrates International Volunteer Day. This year, the United Nations campaign to promote volunteerism in Uzbekistan is joined by none other than Iker Casillas, renowned goalkeeper, captain of both Real Madrid and the Spanish national football team, and UNDP Goodwill Ambassador for the Millennium Development Goals.
"While my job on the pitch is to prevent goals, my job at UNDP will be to help score them," says Iker Casillas about his mission as Goodwill Ambassador.
Through a public awareness campaign, Iker Casillas is encouraging young people in Uzbekistan to volunteer in their communities and take pride in helping others.
"I admire volunteers for their passion, energy and commitment," said Casillas, adding that volunteerism will help them to develop both personally and professionally.
From a development perspective, getting young people involved in local projects encourages innovation at a young age and makes sure that their rights are promoted, their voices are heard, and inter-generational knowledge is shared – all of which supports positive change in their lives and their communities.
Uzbekistan has a rich heritage of community-based aid initiatives, but young people interested in volunteering need help connecting with the relevant opportunities.
To mark International Volunteer Day, the Social Innovation and Volunteerism in Uzbekistan project (funded by United Nations Volunteers and UNDP) is launching a national website on volunteerism and social innovation – I Act Uzbekistan.
The website provides information about how volunteerism supports peace and development, as well as providing a space where people can discuss and contribute to socially innovative community development projects.
The most important feature of the website matches would-be volunteers with organizations, foundations and NGOs that need help realizing their plans. The site addresses the current situation in Uzbekistan: Young people are keen to volunteer, but do not know how and where to take action.
With I Act Uzbekistan, young people with an interest in volunteerism and social innovation have the tools to follow Iker Casillas' call and get involved.
Please join us in celebrating International Volunteers Day, and ACT!

More fun with paint by numbers
I finally got these framed and ready to hang! Here's what I started with, four sets of these:
I think these were made in the late '50's-early 60's. A few sets came with the original paints, but I didn't think I should use them, so I sort of guessed at what colors to use. It was a bit of trial and error, but I did each pair in a certain color scheme, and then just changed it up as I went along.
In the meantime, I found 8 similar frames at the thrift.
I wanted the overall look to be the same, but different, if that makes sense, so I painted all of the frames to match, and used the same color for the background on the paintings.
And here they are!
I'm about to start decorating our bedroom, and these will go on the wall over the bed. I just got a new quilt, and I think it coordinates nicely. This last pic is closer to the true color.
I really enjoyed working on these, and I'm getting excited about working on the bedroom. I have a lot of painting and sewing to do!
Awesome job on all of these and they will look great with your new bedroom redo. I really like your new quilt too. Amazing what paint by number paintings you make. Hope you will show a picture when you are done and have them hung.
Thanks so much! The hardest part was figuring out what shades would work best together. I think I repainted most of the first set at least 3 times! I was most happy with colors of the last set, but I wanted to keep the rest as-is, so there was some contrast between them. I had meant to do them with all the same paint, but as each one got finished, I'd change it up for the next set. I was going to hang them by matching sets, but it looked weird, so I just shuffled paintings and frames until I got it how I liked it.
Now I think the tricky part will be hanging them, since the frames aren't all identical. I just put the hangers all in the same spot on the backs, just above the openings for the pictures, and will put up nails at the same level, and see how it goes. I've had those sets for a few years, and never got around to painting them, so I'm happy to see them finally going on the walls.
Next on the list is to paint all of the furniture for that room, update some hardware, hang new curtains, and make new pillow covers.
They turned out lovely and I like the way you've mixed them up so no identical ones are side by side. I love roses, and you did such a nice job on these.
Do you have one of those lazer levels? You stick it in the wall and it puts a red light straight across your wall so you can get your nails all in at the same height. I used to just "eyeball" mine, but this makes it so much easier. LOL
Love seeing all your projects, thanks for sharing.
I never realized how detailed those kits could be. But they turned out so pretty - I don't think anyone would know it was by number - unless you told them. Really nice. When it comes to hanging a lot of them I think I would lay them out on craft paper or newspaper, mark the top of the frame and then tape the paper to the wall. That way you can nail right through the paper. That is what I have to do because I have not yet purchased a laser level. But if you have one that would be the easist way to go like Luvs said. Great job, look forward to pics of the bedroom.
Don't know how, but I missed these. You did good! Not only with the painting, but also with the refinishing of the frames. They turned out so pretty and soft and calming.
I have hanging things, I can never get them even, even when I do all of the "pro" prepping, I still mess up!
Thanks for sharing and for all of the fun chatter.

The accomplished Salt star, who was recently named Hollywood's highest paid actress of 2011, confesses she once set her sights on serving as an undertaker.
During an interview on U.S. news show 60 Minutes, which aired on Sunday (27Nov11), she revealed, "It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral.
"How somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn't work out that was going to be my path."
Ironically the Oscar winner did go on to become a director, just in a slightly different capacity - this year (11) she made her filmmaking debut in upcoming Bosnian film In The Land of Blood and Honey.

Cobalt means goblin- how appropriate
Re "Fed twice chose not to investigate faulty GM Parts" (Page A1, March 31): A goblin is a legendary and grotesquely evil creature. The word cobalt comes from the German "kobold," meaning goblin.
All GM executives should be issued and forced to drive and ride in Chevy Cobalts and Saturn Ions. The same treatment should be forced upon NHTSA executives and GM engineers and QC personnel who knew of the faulty ignition switches for years and did not feel compelled to insist upon changes, regardless of the cost to GM.
Maybe after a week or two of being locked inside a moving Cobalt, imagining a mischievous goblin in the car with them, toying with a dangling key ring, they would reconsider their decisions and move forward to correct the problem. No compensation to victims or their families is enough. They knew it could happen and did nothing to stop it.

Help putting colors together
Hi, I would like to try this pattern, but Joann's on-line does not list the fusia. Can someone reccommend a substitue color or two? Also What colors would work for a boys scarf?
I am terrible at putting colors together.
thanks for any help.
Sherri W.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lion Brand Speed hook Earflap hat
First, you may be able to get the fushia from Joann's. They take off colors as they run out, but restock at night. Check tomorrow, and you may have more options.
Second, for a boy I like the royal blue, leaf, french vanilla, and silver gray. Other colors I like from the lion brand site are intense medium blue or purple, coffee, and sterling.
If you want to go with the three colors (sterling, leaf, and blush) they already have and just find a sub for the fuchsia, I'd try the purple. Of the colors they list it looks like a good alternative.
I like the colors ilanaeid listed for boys... also royal blue, buttercup, mango, and french vanilla. I also like the royal blue/french vanilla/leaf combo with coffee.
Colors are my favorite part of working with yarn or fabric -- follow your instincts and have fun!

Claim of Privilege
A Mysterious Plane Crash, A Landmark Supreme Court Case and the Rise of State Secrets
In 1948, three civilian engineers were killed in an Air Force plane crash while testing secret navigational equipment. The widows filed suit, but the Air Force, at the dawn of the Cold War, refused to hand over accident reports and witness statements, claiming the documents contained classified information that would threaten national security. In 1953 the Supreme Court sided with the Air Force in United States v. Reynolds, formally recognizing the "state secrets" privilege, a legal precedent since used to conceal conduct, withhold documents, block troublesome litigation, and, most recently, detain terror suspects without due process. A half century later, the government revealed the "top-secret" information--there were no national security secrets, but rather a shocking chronicle of negligence. This book tells the story of this shameful incident, and the dangerous consequences of this historic cover-up: the violation of civil liberties and the abuse of constitutional protections.--From publisher description.

Bold prints were all over the runways for spring — from flattering floral to schoolgirl plaids — but we loved the graphic architectural prints from Clover Canyon. This stunning dress-jacket combo, with its almost architectural design, makes the best kind of statement. Or wear the jacket by itself with a simple tee and jeans for a more realistic take on eye-popping prints.

It's far from the world's largest continent, but what Europe lacks in size it makes up for in sheer diversity. Indeed, one of the main advantages of travelling in Europe is the chance to experience a broad range of cultures in a short period of time, and often one of the best ways to do that is on a dedicated tour.

Shore power 50 & 30amp, water 60psi, no sewer at most sites. There are two areas to stay. Sites in the back with lots of trees. These have plenty of room to park a large RV but they are mainly 30 amp, with water and no sewer. Satellite is possible but not easy. Sites that are up front are 50 amp in the middle and 30 amp on the back part with water but no sewer. Satellite is accessible in this area. The sites up front are flat but lower in the front toward the highway and good side to side. Very little grass around the newer sites up front. There is plenty of room for slides and awnings. Most sites are back in except those in the middle up front.They have a nice pool. Restrooms are small but nice and clean but it is in the middle of the back area in the trees. Did not see a laundry. If you want a rustic woodsy campsite this is a nice in the back. There is a small playground for children and a volleyball & badminton area. Campground Wi-Fi is available but doesn't look to be very strong, we use Verizon & Sprint air cards which work well. Roads are gravel and sand and little rough in the back among the trees. This is a nice place for a few days using most sites. The owners are nice and live in the house/office on the campground. We would stay here again.

9b sunflower or other edible seed plants
just wondering if anyone has seeds for sunflower or other edible seed or nut bearing plants that are easy to grow in 9b?
I used to live in 9b, and while sunflower grew well there, between the squirrels, birds, fungus and bugs, I never got one seed for myself. From what I understand, you have to constantly spray them with neem oil to keep away the insects and fungus, but that won't stop the squirrels and birds.
You can grow sesame from organic unhulled seeds - I did. I get my the seeds @ a local health-food store to use for cooking & on a whim, I just threw some around in my garden beds & covered lightly w/ compost. They all sprouted, but many died back - most likely because I wasn't giving them any special care, I think - or it may've been the wrong season (Summer). The seed pods are still green right now on the several that survived & bloomed.
I'm very excited someone else is interested in growing edible seeds/nuts in their garden. I've just begun exploring growing these kinds of things, but last year I had great success with a few varieties. FYI I live in central florida near Mt. Dora.
I grew mammoth sunflower seeds and collected a large cooking pot full of seeds from about five plants. I did have some seeds mold though, so I recommend drying them exceptionally well if you plan on leaving them in the shells before storing. I also grew Afghani Sesame seeds which did really great here during dry spells of March and April and continued to flourish in the wet months as well. They do very well with the heat and had no issues with pests. They weren't as easy as the sunflowers to shell, but worth it for the delicious seeds. I hung mine upside down in buckets and banged them around a bit to get the seeds out. Bakers creek seeds has a few nice varieties including the Afghani kind.
I've also grown buckwheat as a summer cover crop which has a distinctive flavor. I'd recommend trying it from the store first before planting, but it is such a great grower here in our summers and acts as a good insect habitat it's almost worth growing even if you don't collect the grain.
A few things I haven't grown yet, but hope to in the future are:
cashew trees
peanuts (do really well here, many of my neighbors grow them with great success)
Kakai Pumpkins (have hulless black seeds inside which are delicious and don't have the work required as most pumpkin/squash seeds have to be hulled.)
Chia (super food and exceptional smoothie additive)
Here's an interesting link about edible seeds:
Good luck on your gardening adventures!
I like the Kakai pumpkin suggestion, I'd like to try those.
Best edible sunflower I could find was the SuperSnacks Hybrid. I'm going to try this sunflower because I can't find a better variety for eating. Even though the price is hard to justify.
Here is a study on sunflowers varieties for oil seed production. If you're serious about sunflower seeds.

Experience the Fall campaign come to life.
John Hardy is excited to unveil the Fall 2014 campaign featuring supermodel Cara Delevingne!
Supermodel Cara Delevingne has been described as "one of those girls who combines energy, wit, enthusiasm and a kind of edgy beauty." Also described as "effortlessly cool," her unique beauty and playful irreverence make Cara truly One Of A Kind, just like our handcrafted jewelry. Cara got her start modeling for Cadbury as a child, and since then, has walked the top runways at New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks. She has also graced the covers of the world's most premier fashion magazines, including this month's W Magazine, Vogue, Interview Magazine, along with countless others.
Modeling is just one side of Cara's multifaceted career. In addition to a passion for music, Cara kicked off her acting career alongside actress Keira Knightley in the major motion film Anna Karenina in 2012. She also just premiered The Face of an Angel at Toronto International Film Festival in September 2014, and has three additional films in the works, including London Fields and Pan and Paper Towns.
Cara's energy and love of life come alive in the John Hardy Fall 2014 campaign; her free spirit and independence are reflective of John Hardy at its core. Cara is completely unique, like each piece of John Hardy jewelry.
On July 31, 2014, John Hardy announced it appointed Robert Hanson as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Hanson brings more than 25 years of brand development and retail experience to John Hardy, including with American Eagle Outfitters, Inc., where he served as Chief Executive Officer, and Levi Strauss & Co., where he served as Global President of Levi's. Damien Dernoncourt, who has served as John Hardy's Chief Executive Officer since 2007, has been named Non-Executive Chairman.
It was also announced that John Hardy was acquired by Catterton, the leading consumer-focused private equity firm. Catterton has partnered with luxury brands including Restoration Hardware, Baccarat, PIRCH, and Frederic Fekkai to name a few.
Mr. Hanson said, "John Hardy is an iconic luxury brand with a loyal customer following, and I have been impressed with the strength of the brand under Damien's leadership. I look forward to leading the company and building upon its tradition of creating truly unique, authentic designs and providing outstanding customer service. John Hardy is well known for its distinctive style, extraordinary quality and commitment to handcrafted sustainable luxury. These key pillars will continue to be the cornerstone of our Company and our future success. With Catterton's well-established track record for partnering with leading brands to help them capitalize on growth opportunities, I believe that John Hardy has significant potential and a bright future."
A California native, Mr. Hanson relocated to New York City where he will be based for his new role at John Hardy. He is an avid global traveler, a fitness fanatic, culturally curious, and loves stylish and meaningful things. He and his partner of 23 years, Michael, also have an organic farm near San Francisco.
John Hardy is deeply rooted in the culture and history of Bali, and the country is a constant source of inspiration. May and June are especially rich with celebrations including Galungan Day, Pengerebongan and Perang Pandan.
Galungan Day is the most important holiday symbolizing the victory of Good over Evil (Dharma and Adharma). During this special time, the streets are lined with 'penjors', tall bamboo poles splendidly decorated with woven young coconut leaves and flowers, which symbolize peace. People dress in their finest clothes and jewels this day to celebrate.
Pengerebongan is a sacred ritual held in Kesiman Village. This event is very unique as people can suddenly be taken over by a mystical and magical trance. The priest will give a holy water to bring back to the real world after a trance.
Perang Pandan, also called Mekare-Kare, is a ceremony to honor the god Indra (god of war) and ancestors. This ritual is held annually in the village of Tenganan, East Bali. The men are bare-chested and fight with thorny branches in a battle of the gods.
Poleng is the black and white cloth often seen wrapped around temples or sacred statues and trees in Bali. It symbolizes good and evil, the Yin and Yang of Bali. The Balinese believe that good does not exists without evil and vice versa. To appreciate one, you need to know the other.
Discover more of Bali on Instagram through #BaliMoments.
We return to our home in Bali, where there is a myth of a dragon with a fierce and protective love for the pearl. The dragon leaves his home in the Balinese volcanos each evening and visits his pearl at the bottom of the sea. When he returns to his lair, his scales shed water into the fields, bringing the island love, prosperity and protection. This dragon, the Naga, is sacred to the Balinese and a symbol of our connection to the natural world. The legend is very much a part of Bali, so the Naga is naturally very much a part of us. This season we returned to the legend's power, giving the collection a new energy and movement; his scales glimmering with black sapphire and eyes burning with richly colored rubies. Discover our home in Bali and explore the power of the Naga collection.
In the villages of Borneo, craftsmen have been creating beads of astounding complexity for centuries. These beads are so beautiful that they were once used as currency and of tremendous value, even today. In these villages, we saw the spectacular beaded patterns in the striking contrast of black and white. We emulated that pattern, first creating our own handmade silver beads then polishing them to high shines or oxidizing them completely to black and then blending the two together, with chains and diamonds and a variety of precious gems creating these fluid, primal designs with an innate elegance. Expereince Borneo and explore the latest from Bedeg.
When Mr. Hardy first arrived in Bali, he worked and lived in an entirely natural environment and his spirit of environmental respect has remained at our heart. Today, the same concept is at the start of everything we do, from the way we live on our compound – natural bamboo buildings and a wood oven for our locally grown lunches, to the way we work – we use only reclaimed silver and plant bamboo seedlings throughout Bali to offset our carbon emissions. To date we have planted 900,000 bamboos through our Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo program, which plants a number of seedlings for each Bamboo collection piece. This year, we're also contributing 20% of our Bamboo collection's sales to Trees New York. Celebrate the beauty of our natural world this Earth Day and join us in our efforts to be Greener Every Day.
Celebes is actually called Sulawasi nowadays – but we can't help but love the charming beauty of the old name because it so beautifully reflects the island. Charming, ancient, and far, far away. We had long stretches of some of the most pristine beaches in the world all to ourselves in Celebes. There, huge shells would wash up on the sand. So many of them were so similar, so perfect but still distinct in the most subtle way – their texture. Each had been weathered and worn, dappled and polished and this reminded us of the Palu collection – each cuff or cufflink is designed to look the same but they come out complete different because of the organic nature of the hammering. For this season, Palu takes on Celebes' beautiful beaches and glimmering seashells. Journey to Celebes and explore the latest arrivals for Palu.
Java is a bustling island, home to huge cities and industry but when we landed on a quieter part of the island there was an airiness, a lightness that we couldn't put into words. Then there was this moment when the rays of the setting sun bounced off of the bamboo rods some local fisherman were using and that was it! The graceful arcs of bamboo, the light dancing on the polished poles, and the colors of the sunset filling the air around you; that was Java and this moment inspired a new sensuous, delicate range of rings, earrings and refined cuffs. Experience Java and explore the latest arrivals for Bamboo.
With raging volcanos and deep dark jungles, Sumatra is at once, foreboding and alluring. It drew us in with its power and mystery. Sumatra is full of rough edges that have no desire to be polished or smoothed. The whole island shimmers with a sort of raw energy. You can't capture Sumatra, you can't explain Sumatra but with Kubik we can reflect its power and energy, the darkness of the jungles, the danger of the volcanos. When we visited Sumatra on this journey, we were inspired by its raw strength and we really imbued Kubik with that spirit. Explore Sumatra and discover the latest arrivals for Men.

About the Epilepsy Online Support Groups
Epilepsy Ireland's new Online Support Groups service was launched in October 2012. The service allows people to receive confidential, non-judgemental emotional & practical support from other participants who are going through similar experiences. The service is free and aims to bring people together to talk, share experiences and exchange information.
The sessions are facilitated by one or more members of the Epilepsy Ireland service staff team. At present, meetings will take place weekly. Times and days may change from week to week to ensure that everyone who wants to take part has a chance to do so. Occasionally groups will take place during the day time, but most sessions will be in the evenings.
To start with, sessions will be for people with epilepsy living anywhere in the country over the age of 18 only (although we hope to add groups for family members and for teenagers with epilepsy in future). Each session opens and closes at a specified time and is attended by up to 10 users of the service. A session will last for 90 minutes.
To take part, you must register for the service and accept the Terms of Service and support group ground rules. Once you've registered, we'll email you every time that a new group is set up and send a reminder on the morning of the group. Details will also be posted here and on our facebook page. Contact us at email@example.com if you have any queries about the online support groups.
