We like to talk at Interweave Knits about how we're all knitters, too. I don't mean that we all know how to knit, or even that we're necessarily all very accomplished technicians or designers (there's always more all of us could learn!). I mean that we're knitters: We talk excitedly about constructions and techniques that push what we thought yarn and needles could do; we swatch new-to-us yarns just to see how they drape and handle; we argue passionately about the merits of centered versus leaning double decreases. We think of our knitting as a way to produce beautiful clothes, of course, but we also see it as an art and a craft with a fascinating history, with deep anthropological and ethnographic meaning, even a little romantic myth attached. Russian, Scottish, and Estonian lace! Andean, Scottish, and Scandinavian colorwork! Danish twined knitting! Cable patterns that followed fishing routes! We love it all. And we're bringing even more of that to you: We're launching Inside Knits today, and we plan to bring you inside information on the magazine, extended content for your favorite projects and articles, exclusive how-to information, and more. We're knitters, too-and we're looking forward to talking directly with you, our readers and fellow knitters.First up, check out the preview for the fall issue of Interweave Knits on Knitting Daily and stay tuned for much more from the editors of Interweave Knits!Happy Knitting!Eunny
During the showing of #509, you had a picture of mittens that looked as tho' they were knitted flat and then sewed together on the side opposite of the thumb. I just cannot find a pattern like that no matter where I look. Can you send me the pattern and I will be glad to repay you for it? Thanks. Love your KPTS showing your knitting. I knit hats for the needed kids and adults using the round loom, but now and then run across a pattern I want to try with needles. arb from Kansas
Anyone have a copy of Interweave Knits Fall 2009? Searching for a copy of the baby undershirt/vest by Robin Hansen.
Can anyone help?
Hi Eunny, I REALLY enjoyed Robin Orm Hansen's 2 mag piece on the little undershirt, and am about to begin knitting it as we speak. I love the historical piece to the item; that is why I'm knittiing it. I would love to see more pieces like that. Explanations of the uses and raisons d'etres of pieces from the past, and then a close update for use now. I don't have young kids any more so I don't want all kids stuff, but just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth.
I always enjoy the articles and love to read about the designers, their methods, looks around their workspaces, and enough back and forth to give the reader a real feel for the designer.
I also enjoy the pure teaching pieces.
I would also like to see some easier pieces, but not necessarily more scarves, washcloths and such. Just easier sweaters and larger pieces that a first timer might be brave enough to try (big money investment, better turn out right!). finally, it would be really helpful to see a difficulty rating on the patterns offered. Just some food for thought. Love the magazine, devour it like food, adds and all. Thanks much,
Bonnie Lacey
Thanks for giving credit to Lily Chin re: reversible cables. I'll have to ask her about that. Interweave is publishing a new book on cables with her in spring 2010 -- so stay tuned!
RE : knitting a basic cable: what brand of dark wood cable needles were
you using?
It would be nice to mention on your message about reversible cables who, as far as I know, was the first to think of them. The first I ever saw them was in a Fibertrends pattern by Lily Chin. I have every issue of your magazine and revisit them often.
howdy Ms. Jang - Interweave Knits is my fave knitting magazine because of the history articles & interviews with knitters & designers on their personal processes. Of course, the challenging but wearable projects attracted me first; but the articles hooked me! Thanks!
This sounds very exciting. Can't wait!
Well, sounds neato!

Interest in Celebrity Cruises' first-in-class Celebrity Solstice -- one of 2008's most hotly anticipated ships -- has remained high as the line has methodically been revealing details on dining, cabins and other amenities. Celebrity has already delivered news on peculiar onboard diversions, such as a glass blowing show and cruising's first Lawn Club (with real grass and a bocce ball court).
Until now, however, all of these juicy details have come in the form of descriptions, renderings and other "second hand" means. That's the case no longer: Cruise Critic visited Papenburg's Meyer Werft shipyard in early June at for a real life look at the vessel, now about 80 percent complete (its float out is currently scheduled for August 10).
What were our impressions? Check out our photos and take the virtual tour!
Here are two of Solstice's standard balcony cabins, which at 210 square ft. (not including the balcony) are about 15 percent larger than the standard balcony cabins on Celebrity's Millennium-class vessels. You may not be able to detect this, but the cabin walls are curved (reminiscent of Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Epic accommodations), giving the impression of added space. The curved walls also necessitate the alternating bed scheme, with one near the door, the next closer to the balcony.
|We were particularly impressed by the depth of the balconies. There was plenty of space for the comfortable looking deck chairs. Another unique feature was the ability to pull back half of the partition. We're not entirely sold on this feature, however. Seems like you'd want things open (to chat with friendly neighbors) or closed (to avoid strangers), and not halfway (to chat with stranger's outstretched legs?).
|The bathrooms are huge! They're so big in fact that Richard Fain, Harri Kulovaara and Dan Hanrahan (executive trio) found themselves inside the space at the same time speaking about the design features.
|Solstice's adjoining rooms feature a separate cabin corridor or "vestibule" (the brown door) in the hallway in lieu of one door connecting the two cabins from the inside. Within the corridor, you'll find two more doors, one to each cabin. Having separate doors in the hallway -- rather than one door in between the rooms -- may cut down on noise pollution.
|The rooms on display had both traditional Pullman beds (from the ceiling) as well as trundle beds that emerge from under the couch -- giving third guests a nice sleeping option (floor or ceiling?).
|This is one of the most intriguing -- and tallest at almost four decks -- solariums we've seen at sea. The beam in between the fixed window is an air-conditioning duct, which will alleviate the overheating issues sometimes suffered by the standard solarium. Additionally, it will have solar panels. While the panels (the ship will have about 80 in total spread through the top deck) won't power the whole ship, they will run small things, like the elevators for instance. Every gallon of fuel saved helps.
|When completed, the sun deck, lined on either side by rows of white canopies, will certainly be striking. But incomplete, we noticed that the pools seemed a bit smaller than we'd have expected. It's interesting to note, however, that Solstice's top deck space -- with its Lawn Club and glass blowing show areas -- is quite diversified, and smaller pools may have been necessary to accommodate all the top-ship options.
|Royal Caribbean Cruise Line Chief Richard Fain, along with Celebrity's Dondra Ritzenthaler and Dan Hanrahan, are barefoot on the sun deck, where the Lawn Club will be located.
|Here's a look at the tail end (or aft) of Solstice. Although the Maltese port Valleta is listed as a placeholder, the ship's place of registry is still undetermined. If the line does go with Malta, as with the rest of its fleet, onboard weddings will be allowed.

The Double Drop Tines
This monster buck was killed Friday November 21st by Brian Stone from Maclenny, Florida. Brian, his brothers, and several of his friends have hunted here at the plantation for several years now. Brian and some friends drove up Friday afternoon just for the evening hunt. They all got taken to their stands along with several other hunters that were in camp and everyone got ready for the evening hunt. Brian said he had started seeing more and more deer the closer it got to that magic hour before dark. There were several does in the food plot when a 6 point came in and started grunting and chasing a doe around the food plot. Unbeknownst to Brian there was a double drop tined buck looming off the edge of the food plot. The drop tined buck had evidently heard the rutting commotion from the doe and 6 point, because Brian said some of the does started looking into the woods not 30 yards from the stand. Brian focused his attention there and out comes the big buck who pauses briefly then starts trotting toward the other buck and doe. Brian reacts quick and takes a trotting shot to kill the big buck in the food plot not 50 yards from his stand. Brian's buck has 13 scorable points with matching split G2s and matching double drop tines. The longest drop tine measured over 9" and the other was nearly 7". Congratulations again Brian on the buck of several lifetimes from the Gopher Plantation crew.

Stones in His Pockets Returns to West End in Oct
Editorial Staff • West End • 5 Sep 2006
Hugh Lee and Simon Delaney – who previously appeared in the West End and are currently touring the production in Ireland – will once again play down-and-outs Jake Quinn and Charlie Conlin as well as a host of other colourful characters in the story about what happens when a Hollywood film crew moves in on a small Irish village.
The bittersweet two-hander started life at Belfast's Lyric Theatre in April 1999 before steamrolling on to success in Dublin and Edinburgh. It was first seen in London at the Tricycle Theatre before transferring to the New Ambassadors Theatre in May 2000 and then on to the Duke of York's in August 2000. In July 2003, it moved back to the New Ambassadors where, after more extensions, it finally finished on 15 May 2004.
Stones in His Pockets' many awards include the Whatsonstage.com, Olivier and Evening Standard awards for Best Comedy and a Special Achievement Award from the Outer Critics Circle in New York. Original cast member Conleth Hill (who co-starred with Sean Campion) was also named Best Actor in the Irish Times, Olivier and Whatsonstage.com Awards.
In addition to extensive UK and international tours, Stones in His Pockets has been mounted on Broadway, been translated into 16 languages and been performed in more than 20 countries around the globe. The play is directed by the author's husband, Ian McElhinney, with design by Jack Kirwan and lighting by James C McFetridge. It's produced by Paul Elliott, Adam Kenwright and Pat Moylan.
Currently at the Duchess Theatre, Douglas Hodge's revival of Philip King's classic wartime farce See How They Run opened on 29 June 2006 (previews from 20 June) and is booking until 28 October.

Be safe, Becca. I am so very sorry. Let his love wash over you.
Be safe, Becca. I am so very sorry. Let his love wash over you.
Thanks again everyone. Arrived at the airport after an insane 3 hour traffic jam only to be rang as we were pulling into our parking garage and told the flight was cancelled. Have been rebooked on the 10pm flight. With a little luck we might arrive before the rental car office closes for the evening...
So sorry hun, even when you know you're never prepared. Safe trip, remember the best of the best.Trish
So sorry Becca
Thinking of you.
FLORIDA VIDEOS HERE.... https://www.youtube.com/user/isafari...?feature=watch
so sorry for your loss Becca.xx
Thank you everyone for your sweet thoughts and words of encouragement. It was much needed and very appreciated.
The weekend was incredibly difficult. Moreso than I anticipated. I was well loved by him, and I found great peace in knowing that he was no longer in pain. The visit with my biological father was tumultuous to say the least. Most of you know we have a strained relationship during the easiest of times, and even during the most hurtful of moments, I do try to remember that no one is perfect and everyone should be given a second chance. But by the 14 or 15 time I heard, "You're Jimmy's daughter?? I had no idea he even had a daughter!" I was done. I was hurt and angry, and had Jon (bless his dear little soul) not been with me, I might really have gone over the edge. No mind though, it is over, I am home. And I am absolutely reminded what an amazing gift my OWN children are, and how very, very proud of them i am.
I'm so sorry that it was like that Becca
Never forget you are a wonderful person, a fantastic mum, a brilliant friend and loved very much
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Becca I am so sorry for your loss. Glad that your trip was a safe one, even though it was a hard one.
Next trip - Bali! (March 2015)

Chippenham, Wiltshire (PRWEB UK) 10 March 2014
The Luxury Train Club is remembering the assassinations on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Archduchess Sophie Duchess Of Hohenberg of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with journeys on the Majestic Train de Luxe between Vienna and Sarajevo.
The Majestic Train de Luxe is a facsimile of the Imperial Train of Emperor Franz Josef, which was the favourite form of transport for his beloved wife, the Empress Elisabeth, known and loved as Sissi. The Imperial Train was sent to Sarajevo to convey the coffins of their son and daughter-in-law, the Archduke and Archduchess, back to Vienna.
Tragic as these unnecessary murders were, the Archduke being a reformist and supporter of minorities within the Empire, they led on to the carnage of World War 1, and 16 million more deaths.
The Majestic Train will commemorate the centenary of the assassinations by operating two tours between Vienna, Austria, and Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of 5 days and the other of 6 days.
The 5 day journey (Group A) leaves Vienna's Meidling Station on Thursday 26 June and travels via Vienna Neustadt and Graz to Zagreb. Here, there is a welcoming brass band and reception, before passengers travel on to the Hotel Regent Esplanade for the night.
The following morning, the train departs for Sarajevo, arriving to another musical welcome, as well as a folklore performance. Overnight is in the Hotel Holiday.
Saturday 28 June is the 100th anniversary of the assassinations. There will be a programme of events that culminate in a private concert by the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra in front of the historic ruins.
Sunday sees the train travel along one of Bosnia's most scenic rail routes to Mostar, where there is a folklore show on the historic bridge, and other events, before returning to Sarajevo.
On Monday June 30, there is a tour of Sarajevo and a traditional 1,001 Nights folklore performance before a flight back to Vienna Schwechat from Sarajevo Airport.
The 6-day journey is in reverse, with additional time on Sarajevo.
These unique all-inclusive tours start from €1,914, with a discount available for Luxury Train Club Members. Membership is free, with a subscription to the monthly newsletter.
Simon Pielow of the Luxury Train Club says, "World War 1 still has consequences 100 years later; these journeys to Sarajevo from Vienna in today's Imperial Train have a resonance unequalled by any other rail experience."
About the Luxury Train Club:
Contact: Simon Pielow, http://www.luxurytrainclub.com, info(at)luxurytrainclub(dot)com, +44 (0)1249 890 205
The Club gives the public rates on all listed trains, and then reduces them for Club Members by applying a 'Member Special' 2.5% discount on every journey, as well as passing on any available offer from the train. The Club also shows appreciation for every booking over £500 / USD $850 / EUR 650 with a thank-you gift.
The Club website has details of offers from trains around the world, including Early Bird Booking Offers, some specifically for Members.
Thank You Gift varies from time to time. It is sent to the lead passenger for the reservation. Current gifts include one of the following:

Volunteers Unite for Park Cleanup
By Angela Deines
By Angela Deines
A dedicated group spanned across Willow Park on Saturday morning, determined to make the capital city more attractive.
"We decided it would be great to help the community and be examples of what people should do," said Gwen Gigous, 28, of Topeka.
Gigous was one of about 30 volunteers who showed up to rake, pull weeds and pile up cut tree limbs in the park along S.W. 6th Street across from St. Francis Health Center. The project was part of the Topeka Tree Team and Keep America Beautiful organizations' efforts to improve the aesthetics of the city.
Topeka Tree Team co-founder Lynn Hultquist, a certified arborist and horticulturist, said it takes the partnership of his group, working with the city, to accomplish the labor-intensive cleanup projects.
"Government and private citizens should always be partnered up to help the community," he said. "It doesn't take a lot of volunteers to clean this city up."
In May 2006, Hultquist and retired Topeka surgeon Mark Saylor started working with city, county and state governmental entities to clean up overgrown trees and shrubs at the entrances to Topeka and along the major thoroughfares. Now, as a group under the umbrella of the local chapter of Keep America Beautiful, the Topeka Tree Team goes out on the third Saturday of each month to trim and cut trees and shrubs in areas deemed a priority.
"These partnerships are what make it happen," said Philicia McKee, executive director of Keep America Beautiful. "None of us could do it alone."
Kevin Duermeier, an arborist with the city's forestry department, worked Saturday morning to cut the dying limbs off a 50-foot hackberry tree. He said the low-hanging limbs were posing a hazard over a children's tire swing in the park.
But beyond the safety issues, Duermeier said partnerships with community volunteers are important for many reasons.
"It helps them realize how much work actually goes into tree care," he said, "not only for beautification but for safety, too."
Casey St. John, 20, said although he was at Willow Park as part of the hours he needs to complete for mandatory community service, he felt good about the work he was doing.
"It helps make the community look better," he said. "This is a good park. I have good memories of playing here as a kid."

Apple's spaceship campus revealed
By Vincent Rice
August 17, 2011
With the success that Apple has achieved over the past decade, it's perhaps no surprise that it has outgrown its original "Infinite Loop" campus and is in need of a new flagship headquarters to bring the teams together under one roof. Since Steve Jobs will undoubtedly have been the driving force behind the building's conceptual design and hey, it's Apple, the architecture for the new campus is unlike anything else ever built. Indeed, Apple saw fit to engage London-based über-architect Sir Norman Foster and his team, a company known for its unashamedly modern, hi-tech and unique approaches to large buildings such as the Stanstead and Hong Kong airports, the American Air Museum, the Berlin Reichstag, the Dallas Opera House, The Smithsonian and part of the World Trade Center re-development. The statistics of the proposed building are staggering.
The diameter of the ring is 1,615 feet (492.25 meters), which makes it wider than the Pentagon. The circumference will be nearly a mile (1.6 km) and the planned office floor space is 2.8 million square feet (260,128.5 sq m) including a 300,000 square foot (27,870.9 sq m) research facility. That's enough space for 12-13,000 workers - in comparison, Infinite Loop houses only 3,500 engineers at present. There will also be space for their cars underneath the ring and in an additional low-rise structure, though Apple already runs 20 bio-fuel buses for its employees and intends to extend the initiative.
A separate 1,000-seater underground auditorium (for product announcements to the media, undoubtedly), fitness center and natural gas-burning power generation plant complete the plan. The campus will be self-sufficient for power, with the national grid acting only as a back-up. Apple, and Steve Jobs in particular, was stung by criticism of its green credentials from environmental groups some years ago, so you can be sure that a mix of state-of-the-art green technologies will be employed to control the building's environment ... something that Foster + Partners and the building engineers Arup reportedly have long experience in.
The 150-acre (60.7 hectare) site was mostly purchased from Hewlett Packard (Jobs' very first employer) and Apple intends to make almost 80 percent of the site into green landscape, with an extra 2,300 trees. No structure is over four stories high, and the use of glass and the extensive planting means the building should blend well into its surroundings, considering the size.
It should be stressed that at this time this is a planning application only. Steve Jobs, however, commended the plan to the Cupertino City Council in person, describing it as a "landed spacecraft" and "a shot at creating the best office building in the world." Later, Cupertino's Mayor Gilbert Wong remarked, "there is no chance we are saying no!" Apple is hoping to move on to the new campus in 2015.
I take it inside the ring is where the night time ceremonies and incantations take place, away from the prying eyes of non-members of the apple \'family\'?Facebook User
Where do I send my CV? Suppose I\'ve got 4 years to get moved over
I am a little surprised they didn\'t make an apple shape? I wonder if he install car charging points as well?
I can\'t quite make out the rocket boosters.livin_the_dream
This building can\'t be that green because of the amount of glass it uses which is considered to be one of the least \'green\' building materials available.
I hope Steve Jobs enjoys his glass donut. Wouldn\'t it have made more sense to build the building in the shape of the Apple logo?
Also, I\'m pretty sure it will get build because Mr Jobs said he would simply relocate to another site and/or State if the council said no and take his workers with him.Oztechi
Oztechi, modern building use polycarbonate and the like.. Great looking building by the way))Renārs Grebežs
Pretty neat building way to go Apple!!Allstar
that\'s not a spaceship. The Romans and Greeks were building houses much like this over 2,000 years ago. It\'s just a villa. (a building built around a garden, and completely enclosing the garden.)
Like most of what Apple does, it is something that has already been done, with a couple of minor changes and a lot of hype to make the easily fooled believe it is new and innovative.YetAnotherBob
Crop circle?Griffin
Why not an Apple shaped building? Simply because when Apple goes down and under, who wants to buy and Apple shaped building. I guess the walls are made of iPads and the doors are huge Mac screens. And when Patent infringement police will come for a visit they will be given the run around round and round. It\'s also a safe shape to protect against a possible attack by 800.000 Chinese employees deciding to visit USA to meet the Boss and apply for a raise and better work environment or will it be a Apple Factory Robot attack? Mr. Foster.. I expected something way more innovating. Lucky the trees will hide the Circus Arena you sold to AppleVic Vicarious
I just want to know where they found the Zero point module to power it.Tony Medlin
Looks like Jobs is trying to make his own little \"Mini-Pentagon.\"Dave Andrews
If two pale skinned blond kids who speak in a monotone, named Tony and Tia show up...Gregg Eshelman
Who cares about Apple; I\'m a PC!joe.huard
What a bunch of suck ups you people are. This building is horrible!grice1
there must be some transport envisioned, helicopters, trains, minbusses, segways, :-). s.Søren Algreen-ussing
What it needs is a pair of counter rotating slidewalks. Have one counterclockwise on one floor and a clockwise one on another floor. Place touchscreens around so you can enter your destination and they\'ll tel you if it\'s closer to take the slidewalk on that floor or to go up or down to the one going the opposite direction.
If your destination is less than 1/8 the circumference away, it instead says \"Walk, you lazy bum!\". ;)
Perhaps this expensive boondoggle is why Steve Jobs is stepping down? It\'s been traditional for companies that spend lavishly on new corporate digs to go belly up due to financial mis-management.Gregg Eshelman
Its a HALO!phreakincool
Maybe Steve could throw some coin for some better digs for his third-world brothers and sisters who supply him cheap cheap labour and materials...Jamie Palmer
It is an anti-pentagon.TogetherinParis
Nice looking structure, but with all of those windows surrounded by trees, I bet Apple will be killing a lot of birds. Perhaps it would be better to keep a green field (300 m deep?) between the trees and the building.Wulfher

I hit the parks this weekend on a very crowded Sunday afternoon and one of my must sees was the updated artwok at the Blue Sky Cellar. As you walk up the steps toward the old Season of the Vine film building you could get a look over the construction walls and see the progess on the main street of Radiator Springs. Inside the building you get a great view of more concept art and models and artwork for Carsland as well as a new short video about what went into the making of this new area...... Here are my pictures from this exhibit.

This system saved my life
posted 6 years ago
For some reason, my cat loves these boxes. I have a male cat who for the past 13 years has gone all over the house. I think the pad that captures the urine is what he likes about this box. After years of purchasing box after box, I have figured out he does not like the smell of his own urine. This system captures the urine in a "pad" and it I think it is the same material as diapers. It is very effective.
Pros: Easy to clean up
Cons: My cats tend to kick the pellets all over the place

Officials ID officers killed in Fla. shootout
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. A state official has identified the two Florida officers shot and killed in an intense gunfight with a fugitive hiding in his attic.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement that officers Tom Baitinger and Jeffrey Yaslowitz were killed Monday when law enforcement agents tried to arrest 39-year-old Hydra Lacy Jr. on an aggravated battery charge.
Police believe Lacy opened fire on the agents. Lacy was later found dead in the home following an hours-long standoff that began around 7 a.m.
Also injured was a U.S. marshal. His name has not been released. He was hospitalized in stable condition.
Lacy had a long and violent criminal record including a sexual battery conviction. Court records show Lacy missed his Nov. 1 battery trial.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Authorities and a fugitive holed up in an attic fired more than 100 shots at each other Monday in a firefight that killed two officers, wounded a deputy U.S. marshal and led to an hourslong standoff that ended when the suspect was found dead inside the home.
St. Petersburg Police spokesman Michael Puetz said the suspect was found dead when officers went into the home Monday afternoon, about six hours after the shootout, the latest in a recent rash of shootings across the nation that have killed or wounded law enforcement officers.
The law enforcement agents came to arrest Hydra Lacy Jr., 39, around 7 a.m. on an aggravated battery charge, and investigators believe he is the one who opened fire on them, Puetz said. They had not confirmed Lacy was the shooter.
He said Lacy had a long record that includes convictions for armed robbery and sexual battery. He was listed as a sex offender with the state and had failed to register in December with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department as required.
"He was somebody we wanted to get off the streets, " Police Chief Chuck Harmon said. "Who expects to walk into a house and get gunfire from the attic?"
Harmon would not identify the dead officers pending notification of their relatives.
The marshal was shot twice but was doing fine, Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Tom Figmik said.
Initially, one of the officers, the marshal and a Pinellas County Sheriff's deputy arrived at the house and were told by a woman that Lacy was in the attic. The three called for backup. The officer and the marshal were shot before backup arrived, Puetz said. He said the second officer was later shot as he tried to rescue the wounded men. The deputy and the woman were not hurt.
After the gunfight, authorities had tried to force the gunman out by cutting off the home's electricity and water.
Earlier, police used a vehicle to punch a hole in the wall to get to one of the officers who later died, Puetz said.
Another police spokesman at the scene, Bill Proffitt, said it was possible the suspect used one of the officers' guns during the struggle in the attic.

Jewish Riots Erupt Following Netanyahu Cartoon
OK, not really
In the wake of a controversial cartoon published in the Sunday Times of London, massive crowds of angry Jewish protestors gathered in Hyde Park yesterday and, whipped into a fervor by local rabbis, took to the streets of London.
Incited by the inflammatory, blood libel-themed cartoon–which was released on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and featured a hook-nosed caricature of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall using Palestinian blood as mortar–the crowds descended on the Harvey Nichols on Sloane Street, where they broke store windows and set fire to the Charlie Allen and Ted Baker collections. The mob, unabated, next stormed the Royal Portrait Gallery, tearing down and defacing the centuries' old collection of British kings and queens.
"We left the new portrait of Kate Middleton up" said Gerald Stein of Stamford Hill, "it's offensive enough on its own."
In north London, Jewish football hooligans loyal to the Tottenham Hotspur assembled their so-called 'Yid Army' and looted local pubs, emptying them of their Bass and Boddington kegs before raiding the various fish n' chip shops across the Haringey borough. As the group laid waste to a biscuit factory, the entirety of old blighty stank of burning gingerbread. A cloud of soot traveled south, turning the white cliffs of Dover grey. There were also reports that numerous spokes of the London Eye were removed and bent into the shape of a Star of David.
Residents of London have been advised to stay in their homes until further notice and all British journalists have been put under police protection. No word yet on the status of London Mayor Boris Johnson, who was thrown into the Tower of London.

To the editor:
I was a patient at Harrison Memorial Hospital on Jan. 13, 2010, through Jan. 18, 2010. I want to state that I had the most professional and caring nurses and doctors that I have ever had at any time in my life.
I spent most of last Sunday afternoon in my recliner chair reading about an overweight, out of shape guy who decided to go to Peru and hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
He did it because he wanted to impress a girl who was also going on the trip. When he learned how strenuous the trip would be, because he didn't want to weenie out in front of the girl, he started working out.
A few months ago I joined a new gym, which is challenging me physically. I'm not training for a hike or anything, just a healthier life.
During the past several months, I have submitted to the Cynthiana Democrat several articles that referenced different concerns and actions of the city commission. These articles were printed under the title of 'Commissioners' Corner.' I believe that they were read with interest by a large part of our population.
Unfortunately, I am unable to continue to submit these pieces. The Democrat has a policy that since I filed for the position of mayor, they could not print these accounts. It might give me an unfair advantage.
As I reflect on the progress of our school system over the last two years, I would like to take this time to highlight some of our successes and to list some of our challenges. I use the term "our" because the education of our children is our responsibility. Education is not only a job for the faculty, staff and administrators of this district. Education is the responsibility of all of us. This is true whether we are parents, siblings, neighbors, members of this community or one of the students being taught.
One of the most satisfying aspects of restoring or building something is to show it to others and share their enjoyment.
The crew that works and has worked at the old theatre on Walnut Street has had the satisfaction of doing that for you. It is a unique community project.
They have had the pleasure of mixing with people of common interests, enriching their lives by developing something without thought of personal gain.
I would like to express my thanks to everyone who supported Project Linus in 2009.
With the help of cash donations and volunteers, we were able to distribute 660 blankets in the six counties covered by our local group.
Project Linus is an organization that sees that children who are going through traumatic events have a warm, handmade blanket.
Anyone who wants to participate in Project Linus' local campaign should contact me at 234-1914.

Minot's Ledge Light, officially Minots Ledge Light, is a lighthouse on Minots Ledge, one mile offshore of the towns of Cohasset and Scituate, Massachusetts, to the southeast of Boston Harbor. It is a part of the Town of Cohasset, in Plymouth County. The current lighthouse is the second on the site, the first having been washed away in a storm after only a few months of use.[1][2]
The first lighthouse[edit]
In 1843, lighthouse inspector I. W. P. Lewis compiled a report on Minots Ledge, showing that over 40 vessels had been lost due to the ledge from 1832 to 1841, with serious loss of life and damage to property. The most dramatic incident was the sinking of a ship with ninety-nine Irish immigrants, who all drowned within sight of their new homeland. It was initially proposed to build a lighthouse similar to John Smeaton's pioneering Eddystone Lighthouse, situated off the south-west coast of England. However Captain William H. Swift, put in charge of planning the tower, believed it impossible to build such a tower on the mostly submerged ledge. Instead he successfully argued for an iron pile light, a spidery structure drilled into the rock.[5]
The first Minots Ledge Lighthouse was built between 1847 and 1850, and was lighted for the first time on January 1, 1850. One night in April 1851, the new lighthouse was struck by a major storm which caused damage throughout the Boston area. The following day only a few bent pilings were found on the rock. Two assistant keepers who were tending the lighthouse at the time perished.[2]
The current lighthouse[edit]
Until 1863 the design and construction of Lighthouses was the responsibility of the Corps of Topographical Engineers which resulted in a rivalry with the longer-established Army Corps of Engineers which built fortification and had responsibility, as it does today, for waterway improvements. However, the Chief Engineer of the Army Corps of Engineers was Joseph G. Totten, who personally took charge of the project to design and construct a permanent lighthouse on Minots Ledge.
Totten's design was as simple as it was effective. Totten, who had extensive experience building fortifications, had a full appreciation of permanency and strength of granite constructions. He designed the lighthouse so the first 40 feet of lighthouse would be a solid granite base weighing thousands of tons. To secure the lighthouse to the ledge he had several massive iron pins emplaced so that the lighthouse would be literally pinned to the ledge by its own weight. This idea necessitated working on the ledge on the fairly few times when the sea was calm and the ledge exposed at low tide.
Work started on the current lighthouse in 1855, and it was completed and first lit on November 15, 1860, with a final cost of $300,000 that made it the most expensive light house that was ever constructed in the United States. The lighthouse is built of large and heavy dovetailed granite blocks, which were cut and dressed ashore in Quincy and taken to the ledge by ship. The lighthouse was equipped with a third-order Fresnel lens.
The light signal, a 1-4-3 flashing cycle adopted in 1894, is locally referred to as "I LOVE YOU" (1-4-3 being the number of letters in that phrase) and is often cited as such by romantic couples within its range.
Historical information[edit]
The following is taken from the Coast Guard Historian's web site:
Minots Ledge is one of many groups of rocky outcroppings off the coast of Cohasset and Scituate, and has been the scene of countless shipwrecks. Between 1832 and 1841 there were 40 wrecks on this and neighboring reefs. Between 1817 and 1847, it was estimated that 40 lives and $364,000 in property had been lost in shipwrecks in the vicinity of Minots Ledge, off Cohasset, Massachusetts.
In 1843, Inspector I. W. P. Lewis, of the Lighthouse Service, emphasized the great need for a lighthouse on Minots Ledge, and his judgment was sustained by Capt. William H. Swift, of the United States Topographical Bureau, who recommended an iron-pile lighthouse as offering less resistance to the waves than a stone tower.
The ledge was barely 20 feet (6.1 m) wide and was exposed at low tide, being dry only 2 or 3 hours a day. On this narrow rock construction was begun in the spring of 1847 of a 75-foot (23 m) open-work iron light structure. The men could only work on very calm days when the tide was at its ebb. The work was conducted from a schooner which remained near the ledge, unless the sea was rough, with the workmen sleeping on board. If a storm threatened, the schooner put into Cohasset Harbor until it was over.
Nine holes were drilled into the solid rock, each 12 inches (300 mm) wide and 5 feet (1.5 m) deep. Eight were placed in a circle, 25 feet (7.6 m) in diameter, with the ninth in the center. Iron piling, 10 inches (250 mm) in diameter were then cemented into each hole. Four men worked in 20-minute shifts at the drilling from a triangle, set on heavy spars, which supported a platform high above the ledge, on which the drilling machinery was installed.
All the apparatus was swept from the rock by two different storms in the summer of 1847. Workmen were swept into the sea several times, but none was drowned. Work had to be stopped for the winter in October 1847 and begun again in the spring of 1848, but by September of that year the nine holes had been drilled and the nine iron piles placed. The outer piles angled toward the center to a 14-foot (4.3 m) circumference, 38 feet (12 m) above the uneven surface of the ledge. These were braced horizontally by iron rods at 19-foot (5.8 m) intervals. Braces planned to strengthen the lower part of the tower were omitted on the theory that they would lessen rather than increase the over-all security of the edifice. However, it was where these braces were planned to go, that the structure actually broke off later.
A cast-iron spider, or capping, weighing 5 tons was secured to the top of this piling. The keeper's quarters were erected on top of this. Finally a 16-sided lantern room at the very top, housed a Fresnel lantern, with 15 reflectors. The light, a fixed beacon with an arc of 210°, was first lighted January 1, 1850.
The first keeper, Isaac Dunham, was confident the light structure was not safe and wrote Washington requesting that it be strengthened. When no action resulted he resigned on October 7, 1850. Capt. John W. Bennett, who succeeded him openly scoffed at his predecessor's fears. He hired new assistants including an Englishman named Joseph Wilson and a Portuguese named Joseph Antoine. Two keepers remained at the light at all times.
The braces of the structure were soon showing signs of strain, however, and were constantly having to be removed, taken to the mainland and strengthened and straightened. A terrific northeast storm a few weeks after he took charge, changed Bennett's mind and he officially reported the tower as in danger. A committee, delegated to investigate, arrived during a perfectly calm sea and returned to Boston, deciding nothing should be done.
The light was made automatic in 1947. Today its 45,000 candela light, 85 feet (26 m) above water, can be seen for 15 miles (24 km).[2]
On March 16, 1851, during another terrible storm, the keepers deciding the lantern room was unsafe, retreated down into the store room, where they cowered for four days and nights, only occasionally climbing to the lantern to repair some damage done by the storm. The violent pitching and swaying of the tower almost knocked them off the rungs of the ladder, when they did. A relatively calm spell followed during which the braces were tightened.
Then easterly winds began blowing around April 8, 1851. Bennett departed for the mainland three days later, and this was the last time he saw his two assistants alive. When he sought to return next day, too heavy a sea was running at Minots Ledge to permit the attempt. The storm increased in fury and, by the 16th, was causing considerable damage ashore. At Minots Ledge, the two assistant keepers kept the bell ringing and the lamps burning, but just before midnight on the 16th they cast a bottle adrift containing a message for the outside world in case they failed to survive. The high tide at midnight sent wave after wave through the upper framework of the weakened structure. What actually happened then will never be known. Probably about 11 p.m. the central support snapped off completely, leaving the top-heavy 30-ton lantern tower held only by the outside piling. Then just before 1 a.m. on April 17, 1851, the great Minots Ledge Lighthouse finally slid over toward the sea. One by one the eight iron pilings broke until only three remained. The keepers, probably realizing that the end was near, began pounding furiously on the lighthouse bell. This was heard by residents of the Glades. With the tower bent over, the remaining supports now gave way and the great tower plunged into the ocean.
The body of Joseph Antoine was washed ashore later at Nantasket. Joseph Wilson managed to reach Gull Rock, probably mistaking it for the mainland. Here he apparently died of exhaustion and exposure.
Between 1851 and 1860 Minots Ledge was guarded by a lightship. Plans for a new stone edifice were meanwhile drawn up for the Lighthouse Board by Brigadier General Joseph G. Totten; model makers built the proposed new structure in miniature; the same location was decided upon; and Barton S. Alexander, of the United States Engineers, started work on its construction in April 1855.
The ledge had to be cut down to receive the foundation stones and space was not available for a regular cofferdam. In June the old stumps of the first tower were removed. Meanwhile cutting and assembling of the granite was done on Government Island in Cohasset, where the lightkeeper's house is. Seven granite blocks were to form the foundation. Permanent iron shafts, 20 feet (6.1 m) high, were set in eight of the holes in which the old lighthouse piling had been, while the ninth or central hole was left open, to form a cavity for the base circle. Later a well for drinking water was built up from this cavity through the middle of the new tower.
The framework structure disappeared during a severe storm on January 19, 1857, when the barque New Empire, which later went ashore at White Head, struck the temporary tower and demolished the iron scaffolding. So in the spring of 1857 the work had to be started all over again.
The first stone was finally laid July 9, 1857. Temporary cofferdams were constructed from sand bags, so that the foundation blocks, laid more than 2 feet (0.61 m) under the surface of the lowest tide, could be cemented to the rock face of the ledge. Strap iron between the courses kept the 2-ton stones apart while the cement was hardening.
The total appropriation of $330,000 was all spent, except a small surplus, in the construction. By the end of 1859, the thirty-second course, 62 feet (19 m) above low water had been reached, and 377 actual crew working hours had been consumed. The final stone was laid June 29, 1860, the whole granite structure having thus taken five years to complete, lacking one day. The new lighthouse was finished by mid-August 1860 and the light first exhibited August 22, 1860. The light was not regularly shone, however, until November 15, 1860, when Joshua Wheeler, the new keeper, and two assistants entered upon their duties.
The new stone tower has withstood every subsequent gale. The strongest waves cause nothing but a strong vibration. On some occasions the seas have actually swept over the top of the 97-foot (30 m) structure with no more damage than that caused by a few leaky windows or a cracked lamp or two.
On May 1, 1894, a new flashing lantern was installed, with the characteristic of a one-four-three flash, which lovers on shore soon found contained the same numerical count as the words "I love you." Minots Ledge has thus become known up and down the coast as the "Lover's Light."
Minot's Ledge Lighthouse keepers in 1940: George H. Fitzpatrick, Perc A. Evans, Patrick J. Bridy [6]
The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as Minot's Ledge Light.
It was put up for sale under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act in 2009.[7]
Nomenclature and location[edit]
Officially, it is Minots Ledge Light,[1] but the National Register listing calls it Minot's Ledge Light.[4] It is on Cohasset Rocks and protects Cohasset Harbor.
There is a replica of the top section of the lighthouse, located on the shores of Cohasset Harbor. The replica can be viewed just outside of the Cohasset Sailing Club.

OATI Provides 2013 FECA Engineers Conference with Technical Review of Conservation Voltage Reduction
Open Access Technology International, Inc. (OATI) describes efficient method of utilizing voltage regulators and capacitors to achieve power/energy demand reduction.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) July 09, 2013
OATI presented its innovative approach to Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) with Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) at the annual Florida Electric Cooperatives Association (FECA) Engineers Conference.
FECA is the professional trade association that represents the collective interests of 17 electric cooperatives in Florida. The 2013 conference, which took place June 10–12, 2013 in Clearwater, FL, provided an opportunity for FECA utility engineering teams to observe the techniques OATI is using to implement cost-effective power and energy reduction through voltage regulation.
Dr. Ilya Roytelman, OATI Principal Engineer of Distribution Systems Applications, described how leveraging transformer Load Tap Changers (LTCs), step voltage regulators, and switchable capacitors with AMI measurements results in reducing feeder voltages and leads to substantial power and energy savings.
The practical application of CVR provides a form of Demand Response (DR) that does not require customer involvement. CVR's economic and reliability benefits also include peak load reduction, feeder load management, variable generation balancing, and system balancing.
"Effective CVR has some truly unparalleled benefits, including lowering annual energy consumption by up to 4 percent, depending on the specific feeder. And the reduction of peak load is even higher," said Dr. Roytelman, referring to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory report prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy. "By establishing the topological relation between AMI measured Service Voltages and Voltage Regulating Devices and Capacitors, CVR can provide an enormous return on investment."
OATI provides innovative software solutions that simplify, streamline, and empower the operational tasks required in today's energy commerce and Smart Grid. With more than 1,200 customers in North America, OATI successfully deploys large, complicated, and diverse mission-critical applications committed to industry standards and stringent NERC CIP guidelines.

PH-China relation big winner in Sharks' series
The two-game goodwill series by the Shanghai Sharks against the country's top basketball players may have been a flop at the gates but the visit enhanced the country's diplomatic relations with China.
"We didn't earn from this endeavor but we're very happy with the result," said chair Richie Garcia of the Philippine Sports Commission that organized the Philippines-China Friendship Games where the Chinese ballclub owned by former NBA great Yao Ming lost to Gilas-Pilipinas and the PBA all-stars.
"At the end of the day, the most important thing is not about how much money we made, but how we contributed to our diplomatic relation with China," added Garcia.
Vice President Jejomar Binay, Foreign Affairs Sec. Alberto Romulo and Chinese Ambassador Ma Keqing exchanged pleasantries during the games as they set aside the simmering territorial dispute between the two countries in the West Philippine Sea.

Product description
In this innovative study of Apollonius Rhodius' influential epic poem from the Hellenistic period, the author aims both to offer fresh insights into popular critical issues and consider it from new perspectives. The principal, unifying concern is the poet's measured and complex use of language and the manipulation of meaning generated therewith. The first part presents a detailed analysis of the poem's constantly shifting commentary on the voyage of the Argo as articulated throughout all four books of the poem, and the conflicting strategies according to which the epic journey of the Argonauts is presented for interpretation. The second part of the book identifies hitherto unexplored descriptive, thematic and image-related rhythms within the narrative, which serve both to bind the poem together and to generate further complexities of meaning. Accessible to non-specialists, with all Greek quotations accompanied by an English translation.

Review quote
Review of the hardback: '... the only way to fully appreciate this book is reading it from cover to cover ... Clare is a writer of considerable skill and finesse ... the greatest merit of this book is perhaps in Clare's individual close readings of verbal and thematic links between passages, both intra- and intertextual ...I found Clare's interpretations invariably stimulating ... The Path of the Argo has many things to say about many topics, and should be on the reading list of all interested in the Argonautica.' BMCR

Confirmed: Star Wars Kinect Official Reveal At E3 2011
By admin
Posted on May 30, 2011 AT 12:33am
Posted on May 30, 2011 AT 12:33am
Geoff Keighly has confirmed that the new Star Wars Kinect game will be officially revealed at E3 2011.
It has been suspected that the title would be appearing at Microsoft's E3 press conference for a while after phrases like "May the force be with you" and "Luke Skywalker" were spotted on the companies E3 badge.
Keighly posted on his twitter account;
"Yes, Star Wars for Kinect will officially be unveiled live during the Xbox 360 E3 briefing on Spike. Tune in on June 6 for more."
Star Wars Kinect was first revealed at E3 2010 but since then little has been heard of from the title.

Can anyone tell me why I can't get a pic(s) to show on my signature spot? It's very frustrating.
Can anyone tell me why I can't get a pic(s) to show on my signature spot? It's very frustrating.
I get a lot of mine from here: http://photobucket.com/
When you upload photos from there (you can search their bank of photos to add) you can use the code from there and click the box above that has the yellow and mountain in it, and, insert that code. It's super easy! You can also add your own photos to PhotoBucket, which is nice.
All my photos are from Photobucket or Webshots. I use Web Shots for my pictures in my Signature the best. You have about 4 or 5 sides to choice from to paste on here. I always do the 3rd sides. When you do them just high light the last link and copy it and then go to your signature list and paste it there then save it. This is how I do it. As u see my pictures of Aurora in my signature.
Images have to be hosted at an image site such as Photobucket, smugmug, Flickr, Image Shack, Tiny Pic or any other free or paid hosting site. Images cannot be hotlinked directly from websites that are not for hosting pics.
After you have the image, you have to use BB code in order to post the image. Photobucket is nice in that it already has the code for pictures listed, so all you have to do is cut and past the code into the box for the sig and save it. Use the IMG code shown here:
Last edited by penguinsoda; 07-31-2008 at 05:59 PM. Reason: Spelling... oye...
^^^Right. Your avatar photo can be uploaded and attached to your profile directly from your computer. For a sig line photo, you'll have to host it somewhere else and bring over the image code from that website.
A signature should go here.
thanks everyone! I got it going now!

I'm sure you know this, Ben-Hur, but that argument you quoted from Fabrice Leroy was withdrawn by Fabrice himself two years ago:

Plus, "if" some things were fair, for example, Mac would never have his celebrated 4-years-in-a-row-as-number-1, because in 82 he won nothing, though Connors made the Wimbledon-US double, and Lendl won 12 tournaments and was US runner-up...Mac should be No3 in 82!!!

But we all play tennis and we all know that a loss is a loss. I still think that Mac would have won a few AO titles had he made the trip down there in his prime (apart from 83). Regarding the other post by Colpo about Mac being the best, I would agree, although I am aware here again that this is not an objective assessment. No-one has enthralled me as a spectator more than Mac during his best years. I saw him anihilate Lendl at the 84 Brussels indoor (I had front-row seats) and was amazed at the imagination, the skill, the genius of Mac's game at the time. But I was 18, and I realize that, at that age, you perceive things with more intensity and you are more passionate about everything.
I mean, I would feel at least self-conscious about arguing with someone who 1) withdrew his argument and 2) may not even be listening. I would think it would look like grandstanding.
Sure, people still make Fabrice's argument. But I would quote them, in their current threads, for a real argument. Or start a new thread with your observations about the 84F final. The problem is not with your arguments, it's just that this whole business about being able to resurrect threads long after they're dead strikes me as problematic. But I've already said why above. It just strikes me as strange when people get all up in arms against others who are not even there.
I think other boards have rules about not responding to threads after 60 days.

Shite 'n' Onions Volume 2: What the Shite
It's not so much that everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, or wants to be, even. (This Mick found refuge among Mexican metal fans at El Nuevo Rodeo last year.) Some of us merely want to feel as we imagine the Irish once felt--to have solidarity with the downtrodden dead, to address a room full of male friends as "boys," and meet the mud we're all headed for with a punched smile and a fight song. Like the black Baltimore cops of HBO's The Wire, raising a glass to the Pogues' "The Body of an American" in honor of a fallen comrade, we're participating in an Irish version of minstrelsy just by joining in.
Freeborn men of the U.S.A. are the natural audience for the "Celtic punk" of Shite 'n' Onions, initially compiled three years ago by Boston www.shitenonions.com webzine editor John Murphy and distributed by Omnium, the Minneapolis label run by Drew Miller. (Miller has plied a hard-rock variation of this stuff with Boiled in Lead for 20-odd years.) Today the same team's sequel suggests a novelty that has flowered into a genre. Amid Muppet-like shouts from New York's Jackdaw, and squeezebox from England's Warblefly, Melbourne's the Go Set are a catchier Social Distortion with bagpipes, Wisconsin's Kissers are Midwestern jump-bluegrass, and Chicago's Sharkydoyles are pub-funk-metal for pool players too old to rap. "You're never too young to die," they warble like gangster Gear Daddies. Trashy romance it might be, but I want thirds.

|Replication of freeway work zone capacity values in a microscopic simulation model
|Chatterjee, Indrajit
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Evaluating the traffic impacts of work zones is vital for any transportation agency for planning and scheduling work activity. Traffic impacts can be accurately estimated using microscopic simulation models due to their ability to simulate individual vehicles and their interactions that can have a strong impact on various performance measures such as capacity, queue length, and travel delays. One challenge in using these simulation models is obtaining the desired work zone capacity values which tend to vary from one state to another. Thus, the default parameter values in the model which are suitable for normal traffic conditions are unsuitable for work zone conditions let alone for conditions specific to particular states. A few studies have been conducted on parameter selection to obtain the desired capacity values. However, none of these studies have provided a convenient look-up table (or a chart) for the parameter values that will replicate the field observed capacities. Without such provision it has not been possible for state agencies to utilize many of the research recommendations. This research provides the practitioner a simple method for choosing appropriate values of driving behavior parameters in the VISSIM micro-simulation model to match the desired field capacity for work zones operating in a typical early merge system.
