PH's Martinez qualifies to medal round of men's figure skating in Sochi
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines—Michael Christian Martinez, the Philippines' first Winter Olympian in more than two decades, advanced to the medal round of the men's figure skating competition in Sochi late Thursday (Manila time).
The 17-year-old Martinez impressed on the rink with a smooth performance—nailing the triple Axel jump—and earned a score of 64.81 (33.31 technical, 31.50 component), which was good for 19th place at the conclusion of the competition.
As his score was being announced, the homegrown figure skater flashed a white jacket emblazoned with the word "Philippines."
Even before setting foot on the rink, Martinez already made history by being the first figure skater to represent the Philippines and Southeast Asia in the Winter Games.
Martinez, who was fifth on the start list, donned a black-and-white suit with gold accent and performed to the tune of "Romeo and Juliet" by Arthur Fiedler.
Martinez earlier held the fourth spot but later dropped further as other nations concluded. Nonetheless, he is through to the next round of the competition.
At the close, Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu claimed the no. 1 spot with an impressive score of 101.45, followed by Canada's Patrick Chan with 97.52 points, and Patrick Fernandez of Spain with 86.98 points.
The top 24 figure skaters advanced to free skate program slated Friday 11 p.m., which will determine the podium finishers.
Russian figure skating legend Evgeni Plushenko withdrew from the competition and later on announced his retirement.

Managing complexity: A systems approach – introduction
Do you need to change the way you think when faced with a complex situation? This unit...
Do you need to change the way you think when faced with a complex situation? This unit examines how systemic thinking and practice enables you to cope with the connections between things, events and ideas.

Berling is just one of several heavyweight extravaganzas in MOMA's 13-film tribute, which includes newly restored and tinted prints of four Stiller features. This period drama about a dissolute, defrocked pastor redeemed by the love of a beautiful Italian girl lost more than an hour and much of its coherence in previously released versions. The 183-minute re-edit on view clears up some of the plot and contains a few set pieces of epic grandeur, but still remains ponderous and episodic. Such is certainly not the case with Erotikon (1920), an insolent romp about the extramarital affairs of the wife of a preoccupied entomologist. It was a huge success; Lubitsch later acknowledged its influence on his own Hollywood comedies. Even better is Thomas Graal's Best Film (1917), a mischievous showbiz satireone of the first movies ever about the movies. The earliest dramatic feature in the program, Vingare (1916), a tale of muted homosexual love, is one of the first serious films made anywhere on a gay theme.
In The Treasure of Arne (1919) and Gunnar Hede's Saga (1923), Stiller's heroes play out their dramas against breathtaking landscapes that themselves become major characters in the narrative. Both were photographed by Julius Jaenzon, the resident genius cinematographer of early Swedish cinema; both star the radiant, unsung Mary Johnson, the most ethereal of all Swedish actresses. The wildly beautiful The Treasure of Arne ends with Johnson's funeral processiona snake-like column of black-robed figures moving over an ice-covered bay. Its striking imagery would be echoed 25 years later at the end of Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible. The magical Gunnar Hede's Saga, Stiller's most visionary work, moves effortlessly back and forth between the realm of realism and hallucination, achieving the quality of trance in some scenes. Its highlight is an amazing sequence that suggests an epic western set in the frozen north: When Gunnar (Einar Hanson) is rounding up a reindeer herd, a tremendous stampede breaks out, and he's dragged by a crazed stag over ice and through miles of woodland until he's unconscious. The film's more tranquil scenes, involving a troupe of wandering players, were apparently not lost on Bergman when he made Sawdust and Tinsel.
Louis B. Mayer saw Gosta Berling. MGM beckoned. Stiller and Garbo arrived in Hollywood in 1925, following Stiller's longtime friend and colleague Victor Sjostrom, already a gilded exile there. Sjostrom adapted fairly well and did some of his best work in America, while Garbo became a superstar. Stiller, unable to submit to the studio system, spent four unhappy years there and returned to Sweden in 1927, sick and disappointed. He died a few months later at the age of 45.

Do you guys only play games based on reviews? I've seen users on here say "if the reviews are good, I'll play it for sure," and "no, the reviews say it sucks, so I'm not wasting my time with it," way too many times. It's like a lot of you are willing to play a game only if the reviews are positive.
I tend not to pay attention to reviews. What does that editor know about my likes and dislikes? I've liked plenty of games that they've hated, and I've hated many, many games that they've called "brilliant," "genius," and other assorted adjectives. I'm not making any personal attacks, but it seems like a lot of you pay a little too much attention to reviews, and tend to not make your own choices on the games you play.

LILBURN - After Monday night's vote of the Lilburn City Council, the city's new Greenway Trail will have signage listing its rules at the Main Street entrance and possible other locations designated by the panel.The city manager was authorized by the council to enter into a contract for fabrication and installation of the preferred sign design to be determined. According to Councilman Eddie Price, there will be between two to three signs at the location, not to exceed a total of $2,000. In other business, the Council: · Approved an ordinance to amend the Lawrenceville Highway Corridor Overlay District in an effort to ease restrictions on attracting development there. This ordinance sets the threshold levels for the overlay to help out with the landscaping and parking. · Granted a special-use permit to allow the Mietoville religion (Buddhist chanting) to use their location at 4450 Business Park Court for a prayer room (1,200 square feet) on Sunday only. The permit also includes a mini-warehouse. · Okayed a contract with Penn Credit as its debt collection vendor, as recommended by the Georgia Municipal Association. · Decided not to renew the present contractor for Misdemeanor Probation Services and instead to solicit requests for proposals for the services. · Commended Richard Johnson for the road work at 221 Greenwood Drive.

Walid Phares talked about his book, The Lost Spring: U.S. Policy in the Middle East and Catastrophes to Avoid, in which he argues that the U.S. has been making policy missteps in the Middle East, as a result oil company influence. In the book, he analyzes the events of the Arab Spring and asserts that Washington entered the conflicts too late and supported the wrong side. He talked about the potential for a major breakdown in Middle East policymaking for Western nations and explained what policy changes he believes should be made. He spoke with Joshua Muravchik of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. close

They still run in DOSBox, not the engine used in the PSN version/BFG Edition. I was hoping the reason the Master Levels got pulled down was so that they could update it to be a little more presentable to modern gamers, but it looks like they took the lazy route.

I'm not good at explaining why I do things.
Sometimes I use extreme analogies. Sometimes words just keep running out of my mouth. Running like a thousand marathoners who don't know where they're going, but have to get there quickly. It's exhausting. And the next day I decide that whatever reason I gave wasn't true at all. I don't know why. I'm not good at explaining.
So I usually don't say anything at all. And then I act.
Last year I quit my girlfriend. Then I broke up with my job. Then I got rid of most of my stuff. And then I drove into Mexico.
I had a good reason. I'm sure of it. But I wasn't able to explain it to anyone. I just decided I didn't want to put up with the everyday bullshit any more.
Every day I couldn't wake up. I needed just a few more minutes. Then a few more. My snooze button broke off.
Every day steel and concrete and glass kept me separated from nature. Suffocating. Am I exaggerating? Probably. But that's how I felt.
Every day my brain was used to add to a hulking system that helped another hulking system squeeze another dollar out of an even larger hulking system that was squeezing dollars out of you and me. Nobody created. We all just squeezed.
Every day my time went to someone else. And to someone else's dream. And to fill someone else's else's bank account. And my heart was empty.
Then I looked forward… and every day in the future from 7am till 7pm I would either be getting ready for work, going to work, at work, or coming home from work. And then I'd email about work and call about work and think about work. Every day. For most of my life.
So I quit. I broke up. I got rid. I drove.
And after a few months I turned around and came back. But I didn't go back. I went forward, by coming back. Or something like that.
Now I'm trying to make it on my own. But by "on my own," I mean with the help of so many people. People that I didn't allow to help me before. I'm talking to my friends. I'm talking to my therapist. I'm talking to my girlfriend. (I didn't mention she took me back? She did. Storybook.)
They are helping me create something that helps other people. Or least doesn't hurt them. I replaced the hulking systems with human persons.
Will it work? I don't know. So far I've brought in $100 and spent $1000. I don't think that's how it's supposed to work.
So I'm talking to you. I'm writing this post. Maybe I can make something work. Maybe not. But at least I tried.
I'm just trying to explain why I'm doing this thing.

Samantha Knapp, Tiger Lily's
"Chair is intentionally left untailored in a deconstructed linen wave fabric by Casamance to create a juxtaposition between the delicate feel of the chair and fabric."
Genetically predisposed to creating beautiful spaces, Samantha Knapp has returned to Tiger Lily's, the multifaceted Greenwich, CT, design studio founded by her parents, after several years spent traveling the country as a broadcast-news reporter. With every move came a new space to create, design, and adapt--from a shabby-chic aesthetic in Savannah to a Winter Park, FL, interior defined by a vibrant hand-striped conch-shell frame. We welcome back her fresh, eclectic touch with this sale.


text: Multifamily Housing Under Construction August 15, 2012 by Cyndi Wood on News ELLSWORTH — While other types of development have been slow to pick up post-recession, construction of multifamily housing appears to be going strong. The city Planning Board since last August has approved four apartment buildings and a senior housing project. Related Posts Free Electronic Waste Recycling Event Scheduled July 21 Knowlton Park Effort Gets $100K Boost Route 1A rebuild set On Water Street, a 29-unit affordable housing development called Straw Way Family Housing is under construction. On the Bangor Road, the "For Rent" sign is up at a newly expanded apartment complex. "Apartment buildings are about the only thing going on in Ellsworth," said surveyor Stephen Salsbury, who has worked for several of the developers. He said the trend likely reflects the city's growing population. Data from the 2010 U.S. Census shows Ellsworth's population jumped nearly 20 percent to 7,741 residents over a decade. Nearly 29 percent of those residents — 2,223 people — live in rentals. Salsbury said some potential homeowners are unable to secure a mortgage so they rent instead. Other renters are not ready to buy, don't want to or cannot afford to make the purchase. Some do not plan to live in Ellsworth permanently. Salsbury said that with the high demand for rental properties, he has other clients looking to build. According to city records, 76 of the 274 total apartments in buildings with four or more units were built in the last 10 years. The number of renter-occupied units increased 30 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to Census data. Meanwhile, the number of owner-occupied residences rose 15 percent.

Fire destroys condos as winds drive flames thru English Mountain community
SEVIERVILLE — Though admitting her "heart hurts," Neena Ledbetter is philosophical about Tuesday's wind-whipped inferno that left her with only the clothes was wearing and her beloved 14½-year-old mixed-breed pooch named Sydney.
"I offered it all up," said the retired teacher and hospital chaplain. "It was God's work."
And Ledbetter adds that it was a burnt offering.
Her condominium atop English Mountain in Sevier County was among 48 that were reduced to ashes by an early morning fire that swept through the four wooden, 70s-vintage buildings, driven by a chilly wind and low humidity.
Ledbetter said she awoke about 7 a.m. to the sound of running footsteps in the residence above hers.
She thought her neighbor was late for work.
But when she saw him outside without shirt or shoes, "I knew something was wrong."
Ledbetter said she went out in back of the building and saw the neighbor's deck "fully engulfed" in flames. There was no time to save any of the cherished family valuables in the home, only grab Sydney and go.
Tuesday afternoon she was at Blowing Cave Baptist Church at the foot of English Mountain where American Red Cross volunteers were attending to her needs and those of other displaced residents and those who evacuated a nearby substance abuse rehabilitation center.
Ledbetter was awaiting the arrival of a son from Mississippi.
Bob Stahlke, public information officer for the Sevierville Police Department, said the fire was reported at 7:05 a.m. in Building No. 1 of the 10-structure English Mountain Resort community.
The first fire units arriving on the scene were quickly outmanned, as the fire spread swiftly from one condo to the next. Six other buildings in the complex were spared.
Firefighting efforts, Stahlke said, were hampered by a shortage of water at the top of the mountain and that tankers were shuttling water from hydrants and ponds in the area.
By late afternoon, when a regionwide call for assistance went out, foam was to be applied to the smoldering ruins of the condos so that water resources could be routed to the mountainside woodlands, which were lit up by embers from the condos that drifted on the wind across Cove Road.
Stahlke said forecasts were for increased winds and even lower humidity in coming hours, which was expected to exacerbate the problem.
As evening approached, he said, about 175 woodland acres had burned and thick smoke was billowing from the mountainside.
Dozens of vehicles from many firefighting agencies across East Tennessee were responding to the scene to help with the battle, he said.
One firefighter was slightly injured early Tuesday at the scene when he fell, but Stahlke said the man was treated and released at a Sevier County medical facility.
In addition, two firefighting vehicles were damaged by heat when winds unexpectedly changed direction.
Also displaced by the fire was Joanne Winterhalter, who lived with her cat in the condo complex. She said she awoke to sirens Tuesday morning, which brought back painful memories of when one of her sons was killed by a drunken driver three years ago this month.
Winterhalter said the entire event was "too much to think about."
And she said she cannot expect much family help to get back on her feet,
Like Ledbetter, Winterhalter said she loves Tennessee. But having lost everything, she acknowledged this might be the time to move to where she always wanted to live — in downtown Nashville, close to her beloved county music and the people who perform it.
The American Red Cross and local emergency management officials have set up an evacuation center at the English Mountain Fire Department, 1564 Wilhite Creek Road.

The Breakfast Club meets Rear Window. The result should satisfy dating crowds from high school to night school.
There's plenty to ensure fresh jolts for viewers who know Hitch's tricks inside out, to say nothing of young moviegoers who don't know Grace Kelly from Thelma Ritter.
One way you know that D.J. Caruso is a resourceful director is that he scares you silly with a minimum of violence and a few smears of blood. His job was certainly made easier by Morse, whose glassy demeanor and high, soft rasp suggests horrors that not even Quentin Tarantino could imagine.
The bloody wrap-up isn't handled especially well, and I must confess that the most shocking thing about the movie was the casting of Carrie-Anne Moss as a suburban mom. I kept expecting her "Matrix" skills to show up in the final reel.
Though it's not likely to become a classic like the Hitchcock film, it's a smart and well-acted teen thriller that serves up some lively scares.
Morse, with his hulking frame, baby face and soft voice, has probably done too many of these villain roles for his own good. But how could you avoid casting him when he manages to present someone who's screamingly insane in the mildest, most pleasant way?
What Disturbia lacks in complexity, it makes up for in witty jokes, sneaky jolts and a timeless lesson: If you've got windows, someone's always watching.
At a certain point, movies like Disturbia require suspension of belief. To its credit, that moment comes much later in the game than usual. Up until then, like "Rear Window" before it, Disturbia is sly and suspenseful and full of mounting dread.
Caruso, a very visual director, serves up some surprises and scares, and he's paced his movie briskly. You're out of this disturbing suburbia before you know it, shaken and even stirred.
Once the plot finally kicks into gear, director D.J. Caruso (Taking Lives) effectively cranks up the tension.
The battery of startling shock cuts can get repetitive and the plot has a few potholes, but the palpable atmosphere of vulnerability keeps the drama knotted in tension and the audience rooted to the teens in peril.
There are no big surprises, but the jumps and jolts are well timed and the overall mood is at once grisly and good-natured -- more diverting than disturbing.
It did a great job of giving chills and making me jump. It may not be the most original film out there, but which ones out there today are completely original anyways?
Squirmingly fun suspenser that brings Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" into the era of vidcams and cell phones, serving up hearty, youth-skewing portions of PG-13 violence and bikini-bait along the way.
Does so many things right that it's a shame to see it sink into horror-movie cliches.
Instead of leaving you lamenting the lack of creativity and originality in the film industry, this modest, playful thriller puts you in a forgiving mood.
A nice little mystery thriller that takes a wrong turn on the way to its climax and morphs into a slasher movie.
The most disturbious part of Disturbia is how engaging this teenage thriller manages to be, even though it's a shameless rip-off of "Rear Window."
There's not one single bombshell dropped in Disturbia; everyone is exactly who you think they are and does exactly what you think they'll do precisely when you think they'll do it.
LaBeouf is appealing as the frustrated shut-in, and comic-relief cred goes to Aaron Yoo, who plays his neurotic buddy Ronnie. The ending, though, drags, and the film quickly shifts from a clever homage to "Rear Window" to a bad parody of "The Silence of the Lambs."
There are a few decent jolts in Disturbia, but overall this ultra-predictable thriller doesn't live up to the hype.
If you're happy to watch a thriller about a tenth as good as Alfred Hitchcock's, director D.J. Caruso and screenwriters Christopher B. Landon and Carl Ellsworth hold up their end of the deal, at least until the proceedings devolve into standard horror-movie effects and minimal motivations.
"Rear Window" never comes up in the Disturbia press notes, which is probably just as well since it steals that movie's premise but none of Alfred Hitchcock's wit, finesse, or seduction.
Up-and-comer LaBeouf (Holes) is a young actor to watch, but he's had better opportunities than this teen thriller to show what he's capable of.
What the new movie lacks in craft, suspense and metaphoric richness it makes up for with, um, gadgets.

Feb 23, 2013Disturbia is a remake of Alfred classic, Rear Window. When there is 50+ years in-between the original and the re-make you know it's going toDisturbia is a remake of Alfred classic, Rear Window. When there is 50+ years in-between the original and the re-make you know it's going to be so different, that they are hardly the same movie anymore. The only similarity in fact, is spying on a neighbor whom the lead suspects is a serial killer. Shia LaBeouf shines in what is his first major leading role. Right from the beginning you can see how likeable he is on film, destine for stardom. David Morse is also great as the neighbor. Morse is always very intense and makes every movie he is in that much better, he is an extremely underrated supporting actor. The story is strong, the cast is strong, and I can guarantee you will be on the edge of your seat, this is a good one!… Full Review »

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is learnt to be considering the option of dissolving the Assembly if a sizeable number of its legislators attend the convention to be organised by rebel leader B.S. Yeddyurappa to mark his joining the Karnataka Janata Paksha in Haveri on December 9, compelling it to take a drastic decision.
According to sources, the party will be left with no option but to dissolve the House if a good number of MLAs identify themselves with Mr. Yeddyurappa, throwing up the question of stability of the government besides causing huge embarrassment to the party.
But a large number of Ministers are said to be lukewarm to the idea. Those opposing the dissolution are hoping that not many legislators would attend the rally.
However, the BJP leadership, which held separate meetings of office-bearers, legislators, Ministers and MPs here on Saturday in the presence of party national general secretary and State in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan, gave a stern message to the effect that it would not take kindly if any of them attended the Haveri convention.
They made it clear to them that the party would initiate disciplinary action if they attended the convention.
According to the sources, party leaders told them that Mr. Yeddyurappa was reluctant to remain in the BJP and that he had rejected all their offers.
Saturday's meetings was an effort to take the office-bearers, legislators and MPs into confidence, besides charting out the party's political plans to prepare for the Assembly polls without Mr. Yeddyurappa.
In this regard, Mr. Pradhan is learnt to have told them not to lose heart if Mr. Yeddyurappa quits the party.
He reportedly gave the examples of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh where the party top leaders quit the organisation.
In Madhya Pradesh, the party remained stronger despite the quitting of key leaders, he pointed out and told the party Karnataka unit that it should bank on its party workers to come out of the crisis. He asked the party to get inspiration from the fact that there was a good response to the party's district-level conventions held recently despite the absence of Mr. Yeddyurappa.
The meetings chalked out programmes to galvanise its organisation ahead of the polls. This included Assembly constituency-level protests against the failures of the UPA government before November 30 and Assembly constituency-level conventions of booth-level workers before December 30.
Keywords: BJP, Yeddyurappa, Karnataka politics, Karnataka Janata Paksha

XENIA — The Fairborn Skyhawks may have been shutout by the Xenia Buccaneers twice during the regular season, but they won on Tuesday when it counted the most.
Fairborn took advantage of some early Xenia miscues, then fought off a Bucs rally, to claim a 4-3 win in the opening round of the Division I high school baseball sectional tournament.
In the top of the seventh inning, Skyhawks leadoff hitter Ty Boedicker scored the winning run on a Xenia wild pitch. Xenia had one more shot at the plate, but Skyhawk freshman lefthander Ryan Profitt retired the final three Xenia batters to pitch a 3-hit win.
"Both teams are very similar. If you look at our lineups, we're kinda split right down the middle with lefties and righties. Xenia's ace is a lefthander, ours is a lefty. So we knew that we matched up very well against each other. We knew today that whichever team came out and made the plays in seven innings, they were going to win the game," Fairborn coach Josh Patrick said.
Unofficially, Xenia had three errors to two for Fairborn.
Fairborn (11-16) took quick advantage of a pair of first inning Xenia fielding errors. The two miscues led to scores from the Skyhawks' 1-2 batters, Boedicker and Kyle Keeton.
Brent Grody was hit with a third-inning pitch. He then scored on Nick Kimmey's double to center to put Fairborn out in front, 3-0.
Xenia (13-15) scored all three of its fourth-inning runs without a hit. Jordan Current was hit by a Profitt pitch, Matthew Graham and Joe Walton walked, Blaise Denny's sacrifice fly scored Current from third, Graham scored when Noah Pickering reached base on a throwing error, then Sterling Denny's groundout to second base brought Walton home with the tying run.
Graham singled again with the potential go-ahead run in the fifth inning, but after a stolen base, failed to go further.
Fairborn's Austin Krug reached after banging a pitch off Xenia reliever Trevor Adkins and beating out the throw from third for an infield single. Boedicker reached on an infield error, but Krug was thrown out at third for the Skyhawks' first out.
Boedicker reached base on Adkins' throwout of Krug at third. He then advanced to third on the error before making a head first slide to score the winning run on a wild pitch.
A bizarre ending to the inning prevented Fairborn from doing further damage. Brent Grody had appeared to launch a nifty sacrifice fly into deep centerfield to score Keeton from third. But when play resumed, Xenia appealed that Keeton had left the base early. The umpire agreed, and so a rather odd double play ended the Skyhawks' seventh.
Profitt said he had his fastball working against the Bucs.
"My curveball wasn't working for me well, my change-up was off and on," he explained. "My fastball just kept working for me. We don't throw my two-seam (fastball) much, but my four-seem was working well. It felt pretty good."
Xenia hadn't batted against Profitt this season. Coach Barry Claus sensed his players may have been a little tight, especially in the early going.
"But I thought we settled down nice as the game went on. Austin (Newell) settled down on the mound after that first inning … We just couldn't get him enough runs. We only had three hits in the game (by Newell, Graham and Sterling Denny) and that's not enough."
Claus thanked seniors Joe Walton, Tyler McClanahan, Denny Sterling and Collin Graham for a solid season. He said Walton was a three-year starter who was the "heart and soul" of the Xenia team. He said McClanahan was easily the most improved player on the squad, and said Denny was a guy who "placed the team over himself," and would play anywhere in order to help the team. "They'll truly be missed, and I thank them for their efforts," Claus said.
Fairborn snapped a four-game losing streak with the win. They will next play Greater Western Ohio Conference foe Springboro, at 5 p.m. Thursday at Springboro High.

well - a while back I joined the yahoo group for the Mystery Stole #2 from Melanie at PinkLemonTwist. (she also wrote the pattern for Leda's Dream that I finished recently - well, my version of it anyway)
As usual I used a different yarn and a different sized needle - so I truncated the pattern by about 150 rows or so. 8 foot long is really sufficient.
since I really can't call the result 'Scheherazade' since it it only BASED on 'Scheherazade', I'm calling it Aladdin's Carpet.
I used US #8 needles (5mm) and jaggerspun heather 2/8 yarn in 'burgandy'. will try for some pictures tonight or tomorrow. Got to get it blocked as it is a wedding gift for Saturday morning. (Not that I work under pressure or cut deadlines close!)
Wendy's DVD Real Men Knit is out! You can buy it and see more than one of the guys on this site! I'm the one on the bottom row in the yellow sweater. :)
I just looked in the chat room & was verbally abused by one of our members, this is not the kind of thing that I expect from our group.
Amazon.com introduced a new function this morning. It allows you to create your own personal store.
I've created one called "Scratch and Stitch" which features knitting books of interest to men. I've added a few that have been mentioned on MenWhoKnit.com as well as some that I've found useful.
Does anyone have the DVD by Knittinghelp.com? I am always searching for new ways to up-skill my knitting. We don't have any knitting classes here and the selection of knitting books is poor. I thought that this DVD might be useful. Any comments or suggestions for other DVD's?
PS...this is the hat, it's pretty cool and very easy! I love it!
Now, I know that I can probably find this online in 6.5 seconds, and I just might as soon as I am done posting this entry. However, the hat that I just finished instructs me to "single crochet" around the edge in a contrasting color...now I have the contrasting color, and UPS is bringing me a big box of knitting supplies (and crochet hooks) this afternoon...but can anyone tell me (or direct me towards an priceless resource that can tell me) how I might go about this "single crochet"? Clearly I am a crochet virgin! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
I made a promise to my kids' grade 3 teacher that I would spin and knit her something if she gave me some fleece. She came through and I've started the process. Go to jigraknits.livejournal.com for photos.
Hey guys. I am interested in making a moebius scarf. I pattern says to mpebius cast on. How the heck do you do that. By the way, the pattern came from the Menknit mag. It is a pattern by Witt Pratt. It looks nice but I have no idea how to cast on for this. The info I've found on the net makes it sound confusing.
By all accounts, I'm rather new at knitting. When I was a senior in college I threw out my back and couldn't move for a week. My roommate at the time was knitting and I asked her to show me. That fall I made a couple one color scarves for my niece.
Now I want to make one for myself but need a lot of help. I want to do a checkered pattern alternating purl and knit stitch with orange yarn and navy yarn. eg: the scarf if 28 stitches wide, I'd want 14 purl orange, then 14 knit navy for 10 rows to make a squre of orange and a square of navy. Then I'd change the color to alternate.

Very nice balance of flavors. The Curry can't be identifed in the dish, but adds a nice depth to the flavor. This is now my standard beef stew recipe.
To save time and effort I toss all the ingrdients excluding the water into my clay pot and cook for 2 hours at 425. I also use a cheaper cut of beef. I cut the lemon grass into 4" pieces, slitting the bottom so I can remove it before serving. I use at least 5 pieces from my garden.
Stew was okay, good, but not great. It is rather time-consuming, so I wouldn't necessarily make it again just because I don't feel the results justified the time it took to cook. I also agree with another reviewer that the lemongrass probably wasn't necessary. It was a pain to chop, and the little bits were, IMO, unpleasant to bite into. If I knew it would be like that, I would've tried tying them in a small muslin bag so the pieces don't float all over the place. I did use a fairly cheap cut of beef and it turned out nice and tender, the best part of the entire dish. I couldn't taste the curry in the final product.
WONDERFUL!!! This is a fabulous stew recipe. As another noted the curry gently blends too add a nice touch. It is not overwhelming; one may not even be able to correctly identify it's inclusion. The cooking time is long, but the prep work is easy. Fancy stew that could comfortably be served to guests.
very time consuming (what stew isn't), but worth the time. The Lemon Grass is not really neccessary.
I live in Fl. I am used to the large lemongrass found in CA. I wouldlike to find that here. Any Ideas?
An excellent stew, in the truest sense: all the seasonings blend together in the final dish. The curry powder, for instance, just adds to the overall flavor. There is no classic curry dish taste to it. Also, the long simmering time made the meat very tender. I served it over rice.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
The filing deadline for elections is over, and Del Norte is in for a full race come November.
According to the County Clerk's Office, nine local races will be on the ballot, including a race for two seats on the Crescent City Council, three School Board trustee seats and two positions on the Del Norte County Library Board.
For the council, Hambro Forest Products CFO David Slagle, First Baptist Church Reverend Blake Inscore, Dragonfly Program Support Facilitator Joseph Aliotti and local business owner Dennis Sutton will by vying for incumbent Richard Enea's seat, as well as for Councilwoman Kelly Schellong's position. Schellong decided not to run this year to pursue other interests.
On the School Board, the trustee positions for areas 1, 2, and 5 are open. Incumbent Don McArthur will face off against Milton Reilley for Area 1; incumbent Lori Cowan and Angela Greenough for Area 2; and four candidates — Jamie Forkner, Verona "Ronnie" Sorensen, Beth Green, and Janet Wortman — are in the running for Area 5.
Four people will also be running for two seats on the Library Board. Sutton, who's also running for City Council and is looking to be reelected, will run against Angela Glore, Angela Stanley and Dean Valero. Trustee Jeannie Bishop, whose term is also up this year, won't run again.
Additionally, Crescent City Sgt. Erik Apperson will face Sheriff Dean Wilson in the runoff for sheriff, and Judge Chris Doehle will face local attorney Darren McElfresh in the runoff for Del Norte Superior Court Judge.
Measures on the ballot include Measure F, a seven-year .25-percent sales tax increase that would fund a special district to oversee the fairgrounds, as well as Measure C, which would make the city clerk an appointed position and not an elected one. The measures need a two-thirds majority vote to pass.
