The Rip-Out Artist
Oh, honey. Are you new here? Or am I guilty of giving a false impression of my knitting ability? Because I'd say I average two false starts on any given project, and rip back at least three times. If you have imagined me to be the sort of knitter who begins in confidence, proceeds with agility and ends with grace, kindly adjust your imagination. You're thinking Bullet Train when the reality is closer to mule train.
I'm a Zen Buddhist, and many studies have indicated that Zen meditation improves the clarity of one's mind. And I'm sure that's true, if you're good at it. However, I am not. My ass may be on that cushion, but my mind is dancing a jig in a field somewhere in the Alps with the Von Trapp Family Singers.
So I begin in haste, rush forward, and more often than not find I've made a hideous mistake and what was intended to be the sleeve of a sweater is too wide or too long or I switched from ribbing to stockinette and back again and or I meant to put in a little Aran braid and I didn't and...
This used to bother me. And it still does, in the moment, when I catch the error and wish I'd kept my mind on the knitting instead of daydreaming about a yarn crawl through Italy with Viggo Mortensen. (Hey, I need somebody to carry the bags.)
But it seems to me that half of becoming an expert knitter (a status to which I aspire, distant though it is) is knowing what to do when good knitting goes bad. I'm tolerably proud of some of my stuff, but no memory stands out more boldly the day I ripped back this sock. I'd finished the heel and was moving down the foot when I realized that around the ankle I'd neglected entirely to twist one of the cables.
I contemplated tinking back twenty rounds, plus the heel turn, plus the heel flap, and I felt sick. I contemplated leaving the whacking great mistake and hoping it would be covered by a shoe, and felt sicker. So I pulled out the needles–I was knitting on double-points–and ripped. An hour later, I had all the stitches back on the needle in the proper order, and I felt like Elizabeth Zimmermann had kissed me on the forehead. For the first time, I was the boss of my knitting.
I'm proud of that sock, and will be even prouder once I finish the mate, which has been sitting in my basket for two years.
Handspun-and-Noro Hat
Reader Mollie (no blog) ought to get a prize of some kind for guessing correctly, from nothing other than a shot of the yarn, what hat I planned to make from the merino handspun and the leftover Noro: Jared Flood's Turn A Square. It's a nifty variation on the typical striped beanie, and I must say I'm pleased with it so far.
The colors in this shot are much truer. Several folks commented that the yarns seemed identical to those of the heathery Dubbelmossa, but that was a trick of the light (and poor exposure choices on my part). The merino is a very earthy, rich natural brown and the Noro is primarily shades of jade green and lapis lazuli.
The funny thing about knitting with the handspun is that the parts I spun last are at the center of the ball, and I'm knitting from the outside–so the further I go the better the yarn gets. The best spinning will be at the top of the hat. I wish I could say I'd planned that, but see "jumbled brain," above.
Thanks from Mary Ann
You can always count on knitters to help in a crisis, or at least offer a shoulder to cry on, and y'all stepped right up after the report of stolen and yarn and laces at Knitter's Niche. Mary Ann expressed her thanks via the comments–have a look (near the end, under the screen name "niche") in case you missed it.

I am so glad you posted this today because just last night I ripped a complete sock up to the ribbing. I knew I just wasn't going to be happy with it. I just sucked it up and did it.
- Lynn said...
Sigh. I, too, am staring at 50+ rows plus a heel turn to rip back. Turns out that the gusset? That has looked too shallow? Really is.
And the socks are for my mom (last year's b'day present, third time's a charm) so they have to be perfect, no?
- Phro5gg said...
First of all, thanks for getting the song "Mule Train" stuck in my head 1st thing in the morning. I will need some mental floss to get that out of there.
Second, thanks for talking about frogging. I know a lot of new knitters get intimidated and frustrated by their mistakes. I am sure that even EZ and Barbara Walker (Knitting GOdesses forgive me!) got frustrated at times. Its all part of being knitters and being human.
- Donna Lee said...
It's easy to imagine that everyone else is a better knitter. When fo's are posted and they look perfect, we don't remember the ripping that went into them. I know that if I leave a mistake that I've noticed in, I'll regret it so I rip. And rip. And sometimes rip again until I am satisfied. For me, it's about the process and I want to be happy with the product when I am done.
- Mel said...
*snigger* I just ripped out a sock toe twice because I was sure I had remembered the right number of stitches and just needed smaller needles. Last night I got my act together and started over at the beginning with 8 fewer stitches, as I should have done the first time around. I'm sure we all do it at least occasionally.
And if there are people out there who never err? They just deserve to be smacked. Mindfully and with loving-kindness, of course.
- Kristen said...
I've been contemplating ripping back half of the backside of a sweater to correct a pattern mis-interpretation (possibly caused by too much daydreaming about Viggo also). It's actually starting to look like fun.
- Rudee said...
The cabled socks should be finished. Better crack the whip with those slacker elves. It's time they earned their keep! The lonely sock is lovely and deserves a mate.
You are too modest. Yes, we all make mistakes, but I'm pretty certain you can call yourself expert. You've presented some incredible knitted eye candy as evidence-even if many have required do-overs or began with false starts. I think half the battle is the fixing-and the recognition that the fixing has to happen.
If only all things in live came with the option of a do-over.
- Nancy K. said...
I never rip.
At least not very often.
I have a much simpler approach. I simply set the unfortunate knitting aside and start something else!
Needless to say, I have VERY few FO...
When you say 'rip', do you mean literally pull this stitches out, or 'tink back'? If you remove the needle and pull the stitches, how do you ever get them back on in the proper order? Nine times out of ten, when I try to tink, I end up losing stitches and making a worse mess resulting in more 'set aside projects. No wonder I keep having to buy needles!
- ~laurie said...
Darlink, can you let Mary Ann know that a pile of people on Ravelry are watching out too please?
- BonnieJean said...
Yep...the more I knit, the more I rip. When I first learned (as a child) my teachers (my mom and grandmom) didn't make me rip as much as they should have, but I stayed interested and my projects improved over time.
Now, many, many years later...it seems the more my skills improve (snort!) the more I rip!!! What a paradox! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks, "I should be able to do this! Am I losing ability, rather than gaining it?"
It sometimes feels that way, but I try to keep a positive outlook and think about how much I love the really tough patterns I am now not afraid to try even though I rip, rip, rip!
- Jeanne said...
Rippage. I haz it.
I ripped out the first eight inches of the very first sweater I ever tried to knit (15 years of patiently sitting on the needles). Then I cast on the yarn and began the second first-ever sweater. So far, I'm eight inches into IT, after ripping it back twice to fix boo-boos.
Got any room on that cushion? I could use a little Zen...
- no-blog-rachel said...
Ah, ripping. I'm very familiar with that. In fact I'm a bit suspicious of any project I didn't have to rip back at least once. What did I miss?
I had nearly completed Arianne (Chicknits) a few weeks ago and discovered a big mistake at the beginning. I'm not above fudging a little but if I'd left it as is, I'd never have worn it. So I frogged the entire thing - and just finished re-knitting late last night. It looks SO much better! And honestly, the ripping wasn't painful at all. I love my new sweater, so the extra time was worth it. Yay ripping!
- Paul. said...
Thanks for making me feel a little better. Last night I gave myself a migraine after ripping out a scarf (a scarf, no less!) 3 times and it looks like I'll have to do it one more time, this time further down. All the while I was muttering to myself, " 'learn a new stitch,' he says...'make it interesting'...'he wants interesting; I'll give him interesting'...." (Who knew I had an Inner Gollum? I'd rather have an Inner Viggo, thank you very much.)
Wish me luck!
- Riin said...
One could never become an expert knitter without a lot of ripping. One could only be a timid knitter. I wouldn't call myself an expert (the sweater I've been working on for over a year because I've ripped it out so many times and is now in a time-out because the sleeves have been naughty will attest to that) but at least I dare to try new things. They're not always good ideas, but hey, I won't know until I try, right?
I bet your sock is lonely...
- Kat said...
Sorry, but I've booked Viggo Mortensen.
- Kristen said...
"My ass may be on that cushion, but my mind is dancing a jig in a field somewhere in the Alps with the Von Trapp Family Singers." Honey, you just described me trying to relax in savasana at the end of a yoga session. I feel much better now. Thanks!
- Gina said...
"daydreaming about a yarn crawl through Italy with Viggo Mortensen."
I read regularly, comment rarely, and snicker frequently, but this line made me laugh out loud. I hope you don't mind if I use it on some of my daydreaming 9th graders next month.
- KellyD said...
I cant imagine not ripping out. Though I usually do it two years later. After I've tossed the offending object into a storage container to let it "age properly" for a while. Once it's done and I am not as attached to it, then i happily rip away. The bonus? Ooohhhh lookie! New yarn!!
- Alwen said...
I think part of becoming an expert knitter must involve being able to admit when 1100 yards of yarn need to be unravelled. le sigh.
But I take heart when I read something like Meg Swansen's Knitting and she tells of ripping back! It's not just me, yay!
- Anonymous said...
I like the "Turn a square hat also -looks like yours will be great
When I started to read about the mis cabled sock, I thought you were going to say that you duplicate stitched the mistake, as so eloquently described by the Yarn Harlot a while back. I'm impressed that you ripped.....

- TinkingBell said...
Ha! The joy of frogging!
As I've become a better knitter (everything is relative!) I am much more willing to frog, tink, rip and otherwise desecrate my work to get it right!
But I am also able to work out what really needs frogging! - I was knitting a bag which was to be felted and agonised momentarily about a twisted stitch some way back - then I realised 'This is going to be felted - no stitch definition - who will ever know or see?' I left the stitch and although I examined the felting - couldn't find it at all!
- Katherine said...
I can't think of the last time I knit something straight through with no ripping. Well, maybe a sock or two. But anything at all complex is knitted at least twice over, lace, three times. I'm getting better at letting down just a section of lace, but it's often impossible.
And I'm not big on lifelines which has been my downfall a couple of times.
And take heart--it's not that difficult to get the stitches back on the needles, just takes some practice you'd rather not have.

Is there room for one more in the frog pond? I've got this sleeve cap I've just ripped for the 2nd (or is it the 3rd?) time ... thanks for the giggles!
- Kathie said...
Ooh, I covet that hat. Awesome colors, and you just can't beat handspun.
- Lis said...
ha! I have performed (what seem to me at least!) strange and repeated rip gyrations on my first sweater, Twist. Of course I have to pick cables on the sweater when I've never done them before and it only takes a second of inattention...
I'm not so good at ripping back the socks yet..it's so much easier to toss them aside for the moment and start another!
- Anonymous said...
Phht. You must be a better Zen than you think, because your story about ripping back when you know something is wrong guilted me into ripping back a wonkyily-gauged hat that I was in a hurry to finish.
You must be a better Zen than you thought if all you want Viggo to do for you is carry your yarn bags.
I, however, am not Zen at all. Dibs.
PS The press had some power outage issues at Obama's speech yesterday.
Are you sure Dolores is in Wisconsin, and not in Springfield?
- alice said...
Sigh... the image of yarn crawling through Italy with Viggo Mortensen makes me just verklempt. What can I say? I'll fight you for him.
And, yes, Zen meditation really helps my knitting.
- =Tamar said...
Nancy K. - first run the smooth, thin cotton "afterthought lifeline" through the row _before_ the one with the mistake, _then_ rip. Then it's easy to get the stitches back on the needle. (Be sure to use cotton that's a different color.)
As I read it, it's ripping, not tinking.
- Jane in Michigan said...
I always say that it's not a project until I've started it three times. A couple days ago I pulled the back of a hoodie (for DD) off the needles. I got up twelve inches, and discovered that what was bang on gauge four inches up had pulled in three to four inches (the whole piece, not just those top inches). Actually, that made a fourth start for this project; reaching my limit.
- Chris said...
I knit, therefore I frog. I don't think I have one project that hasn't been frogged at some point. The worst was 8 inches of a mohair sleeve. Frightful then but beautiful now!
- Knitting Painter Woman said...
I hope that the knitting conference security is tight... I'd hate for anybody ELSE to lose shawls, yarn or anything. I'm almost through turning the heel in my first Neatby Mermaid sock. Sure HOPE I don't have to frog: it's on 0's.
- meezermeowmy said...
Your virtuosity with turning a phrase more than compensates for any errors in your knitting. (Or perhaps your knitting is only fodder for your prose?)
Thanks...a good time was had by all.
- Allison said...
"daydreaming about a yarn crawl through Italy with Viggo Mortensen. (Hey, I need somebody to carry the bags.)"
Honey, if that's the best use of Viggo that you can think of, move over and let those with a more vivid/creative/lurid imagination into the daydream. Oh, but then the blog (or at least the daydream) would get censored, wouldn't it?
- graybastian said...
Um, Franklin, if you're only using Viggo for carrying shopping bags, can I have him the rest of the time? What?! If it comes down to knitting or Viggo, I'll take Viggo every time. I do like the cablely sock, though.
- Tina said...
Can I just say you crack me up! I read most all of your postings and am looking forward to your book! I will definitely book mark you to my favorites!
- dale-harriet said...
Everyone's good at something - if there was an Olympic medal for Tinking and Frogging I'd be right on the team. On the other hand, when you're knittin' a Dr Who, (think 480,000 rows of garter stitch) there ought not be too much adjustment. Might I add -- there is one teetiny wee miniature ittybitty single-stitch mistake...it's the "Amish Experience" so I don't have to put in an error. Also - Yes, Anonymous, I think Dolores still IS in Wisconsin; the last voice message I had was from a microbrewery in Egg Harbor...delightedly shrieking "I'm SHIPWRECKED!" Harry came on and explained that she's getting a good response from Fibertarians and I shouldn't worry. OY. I'm hoping to take her (and Harry) to a few quiet days in the UP (Michigan)to prepare for the Fibertarian Convention while everyone's attention is directed toward Obama....Franklin, *I* am asking: would you consider being on her ticket?
- knititch said...
i like knitting because i am in controle in opposition to the controle i have work wise or relationship wise. and by being in controle i mean that i knit things and when i make mistakes i can decide to rip back and fix it for perfection or to continue as if nothing had happened. i love that. the ripping usually wins and i see it as a ongoing learning process.
your turn around hat is great. i love blues and browns together. very subtle.
- bronchitikat said...
When it comes to 'shall I frog' I have two criteria: -
i) will it matter in the finished garment? If yes, rip.
ii) can anyone else (read DH) see it when they examine the garment? If no, continue.
Thus the Dashing mitts I'm currently knitting for our son will have the one cable twist the wrong way. Besides which, it'll remind him that his ol' Mum, though she loves him dearly, ain't perfect. As if he needed it.
- DEEP END OF THE LOOM said...
Viggo is carrying MY bags, go find someone else, haha. Your post is really fitting considering I've ripped out a tunic I've been working on for the 8th time. Ahh one day I'll be good enough to graduate a tick above kindergarten knitter.

Here's a bit of frogging Zen for you all (I think I stole this from the prologue of some pattern book, but I don't remember which):
Don't ever be afraid to tear out knitting if it is unsatisfying to you. Practicing this regularly will save you the trouble of having to decide what you will make next.

again, a reference to a name i don't get:
Making Money, the scene where Cribbins is reading papers and talks to the nun who speaks about that god-of-the-month club.
"What'sh your name, shishter?" "Berenice", she said, "Berenice, er, Houser."
'I see you're not using the bastard's name anymore', he thought.
...Who are they (not) talking about?
My reading of this scene is that Cribbins, being a con-man and therefore almost as skilled as Moist at reading people, has marked Berenice down as being not only divorced but having reverted to her maiden name. (She isn't a nun, btw) After a long period of using her married name, almost invaribly in Britain the man's name, she is still re-adjusting to using her own. (And British law and custom does not make this especially easy for a woman after divorce - A-M takes its social mores from Britain). Hence the moment of hesitation and remembering. The bastard is most probably the ex-husband. And Cribbins, being a not very principled con-man, is realising that she trusts a priest and his attention is wandering on to how much he can take her for - like a free meal, bath, and a shared bed for the night, so he can then trouser the whole of the hotel expense money advanced to him by Cosmo Lavish. He resented how little this was, after all, and if he can save spending it, especially if he can also save the equivalent of a seamstresses' fee, then so much the better - he isn't principled and can see her need for male attention that he can exploit, regardless of any hurt caused in the morning.
Oh, I'm glad tonyblack liked the wiki article... I wrote 90% of it...

With that being said, let's break down the two potential SB match-ups I've come up with. First, Packers vs. Patriots:
It's the match-up everyone wants. The two best offenses, the two best QB's and arguably the two most marketable teams there are right now. Packers have much the better defense, the better offensive weapons, and IMO a QB who's playing better, but that doesn't necessarily mean victory for two reasons. One being Tom Brady, who still has an extraordinary amount of magic in him (ask Dallas about that), and is still ridiculously talented. Two being (and this is the more important one) coaching. Bill Belichick is the best coach in american sports right now by a mile, and you can bet your ass he'd have a gameplan for Aaron Rodgers and that Packer offence. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he's already had a gameplan for the Packers since the superbowl last year. That and, imho the jury is still out on Mike McCarthy. He's got a tremendous amount of talent to work with, but when the chips are down I don't know if he can coach them all up, especially not against Belichick.
Now onto Packer/Ravens. The unstoppable force meeting the immovable object. The clash of the proverbial titans. Simply put, THE best offense in the league vs. THE best defense in the league. The Packers have amassed one of the best WR corp's I've ever seen on a pro team. The have speed literally everywhere, and in the blink of an eye they can score 21 points on anybody because of it. To your point, THIS is why they're so scary. THIS is why they can be down by two scores early and still win convincingly in any game. But as my man Lee Corso would say, not so fast my friend. The Baltimore Ravens have stacked the deck in the secondary, and with the emergence of Cary Williams, who has been lights out this year, the reemergence of Ladarius Webb, who is again, playing lights out, and with Chris Carr AND our number one draft pick Jimmy Smith, this defensive backfield is stacked. We DO have the ability to defend all of the Packer's weapons with all of those guys playing to their full potential, and there is one reason as to why that exactly is: the Packers DO NOT have an elite offensive line, and they cannot hold the Raven's amazing front seven off of Aaron Rodgers the whole game. This is the difference between the Steelers and the Ravens, and this is why we have as good a shot as anybody to beat GB in the superbowl. We have the secondary AND the front 7 to stop Aaron. You can't just spread the field on us like you can vs. the Steelers. I think our young emerging offence can score enough points against the underachieving Packer defense to squeak out a clean win, much like what the Giants did to the Patriots in 2007.

All these products were produced under Wetlands International's leadership and set a solid base for migratory waterbird conservation in the region.
We had well attended side events to introduce the Wings Over Wetlands and the Waterbird Monitoring Partnerships. In addition, Wetlands International's staff Abdoulaye N'Diaye has chaired the side event on the Wadden Sea Flyway Initiative. Wetlands International's staff, Szabolcs Nagy, and associate expert, Tim Dodman, have given five plenary presentations including key agenda points such as the Conservation Status Report, the Site Protection Report, Plan of Action for Africa.

I do. I'm particular fond of 2006's General Manager mode. It made me happy because it was kind of like the season mode for HERE COMES THE PAIN an SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
Always blame the fat guy.

I apologize for the extreme radio silence. I wish I could say that I won the lottery or was on a tropical island vacation, but the only thing keeping me from blogging is work. Since nobody has offered me six figures, two weeks vacation and generous health care benefits to crack poop jokes at President Obama's expense–Hey Richard Mellon Scaife? Hit me on Twitter, homie–I guess I gotta stick to the grind.
So I guess that means that I'll be away for a little while longer until I get some things done. I'll still be tooling around the Twitterverse from time to time. In the meantime, listen to Boris' "Farewell" while you read these three great blog posts from people who are not me.
Robert Stacy McCain–Meet @BridgetteDunlap, Fordham's Campus Commissar of 'Human Rights'
Charles Hill–With friends like these
John over at The Sentry Journal–America out of scale: Rethinking the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929
Great work all.
Hopefully, I can get back to actually blogging soon.
Stay sassy, peeps.

This Small Hanging Toiletry Bag is a scaled down version of one of our popular toiletry kits. Perfect for any traveler, it gives you a compact way to store all your toiletries wherever you go. Made from genuine leather with a water-resistant nylon interior, our Small Hanging Toiletry Bag zips open to reveal a large compartment for your travel soap, shampoo, toothbrush, and other essentials. We also include 3 mesh pockets inside for storing small items and an extra zippered pocket on the front, giving you even more storage space. A hanger extends from the top of the inside flap, letting you easily hang your bag from a towel rack or shower rod wherever you're at. Great for overnight stays or lengthy trips, our Small Hanging Toiletry Bag is sure to become one of your go-to accessories.
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
Really good quality and accurate description.
I ordered several items from Leatherology and have been so satisfied with the entire process. My daughter loved the Toiletry bag in cognac that I sent together with makeup bag and tissue holder. Everything arrived on time and beautifully wrapped. I have been telling everyone about Leatherology and I will be a customer for life. My Son-in-law also loved his toiletry bag in cognac. Thank you!
Leatherology delivers a Top Shelf product! Not only this toiletry bag itself, but the way it's packaged. This fine leather bag is placed in a suede bag inside a nice box with black velvet ribbon... No need to wrap in Christmas paper. This is the third red leather item purchased over past 6 years. Two for my wife and this gift for our daughter (22 yrs old). Quite sure she's going to love it. We'll see in 10 days!!!
This is a great quality bag. Shipping was faster than I thought. I'm very happy with it.
My wife really loves her small Toiletry bag and it worked out great during our last travel trip.
First purchase, very pleased with quality of product as well as box it came in!!!
Excellent quality, just the right size, well constructed. Just what I was looking for.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

The last three years, Mr. Lovers has been our runner-up. He just never had the right combination of grit, heart, or talent to be the top dog. I had a little joke in my head wondering which was more likely to win a title: Him or Tony Ramos. This year, I have my answer. Congratulations to vaisforlovers for winning this year's championship and immortality in the Hall of Glory! His victory did not come without adversity. Joey Napoli, his third-seeded 157-pounder, went 0-2. Bobby Telford defaulted out of the tournament after winning a match. However, it was a pretty wild tournament for many of us, and vais' team was strong enough to eek out a narrow victory over buckvader despite a few early eliminations.
Winner's Bracket
1. vaisforlovers 117.5
2. buckvader 114
3. yakrider 109.5
4. Gold 107.5
5. gobigred 92
6. thaxton 77.5
Loser's Bracket
1. kr1963 107.5
2. GaCoach 80
In truth, this was a pretty tight tournament overall. The top four finishers were separated by a mere 10 points! Over the last few years, people have gotten very good at this. I really noticed it during the draft seeing so many people make good choices. It's cool to see how this league has matured.
My regret is that, frankly, I was a pretty bad commissioner this year. I took way too long to do scores and didn't participate in discussion much either. I feel like the league suffered as a result of it. I simply wasn't willing to put as much time into it due other priorities and interests. I don't want the league to suffer as a result of me. If someone else wants is willing to step up and commit some time to being commissioner next year, let me know and we'll talk. I'm not positive I want to hand it off, but it's a possibility if someone will step up and do a better job.
Every year there are a few people who take a chunk of responsibility that makes running this league a lot more bearable for me. It's many of the same people every year. Thanks again to GBR for looking up scores, to vais for helping with the draft, to thaxton for looking up all the schedules to make a nice guide, and to kr for helping keep track of the roster changes.
As an aside, I've been in this league for five years now. I have commissioned the league for four of those years, and most us have been around for at least four years. In that time, I've gotten to know many of you far better than I ever would have expected to get to know anyone over the internet. We've built relationships--I've even met a few you. Just twelve members, we are a small group. In light of that, the fact that two of our members, kr and tigerfan, are battling cancer is difficult for me to comprehend. I am young, and honestly, when I factor in the death of Jacob Schlottke and the struggles of a couple others, I see more sickness and pain in the friends I've made on this site than I see in my non-internet life. I don't know how to process it.
I hope the two of you know that you are valued. You add so much to this league, and certainly more to those in your personal lives. KR has blogged much of his battle on this website. You have described suffering and healing, victory and relapse. I'm amazed at your positive outlook throughout the three-year epic. I really struggle to imagine this league without you in it.
I pray that both of you be healed. I pray that the cancer be taken from your bodies; that you see victory over it. More importantly, I pray you know that Jesus, Christ, has won eternal victory over death for those who offer their lives to him. That man is sinful, and that a Holy and perfect God cannot live with sin. That death is the result of and penalty for sin, but that God loves man enough that he took the flesh of a man, lived a sinless life and paid the penalty for sin. That he died, but rose from the grave in victory over death. That those who take him as Lord can share in that resurrection and one day rise from the grave to an eternal life with God.
Happy Easter.

Did Nick Diaz replace the broken Honda he was crying about?
Did Nick Diaz replace the broken Honda he was crying about?
pumped for a Jon Jones gatorade deal - if true.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
CSAC confirms UFC welterweight Nick Diaz trying to start new MMA promotion
CSAC confirms UFC welterweight Nick Diaz trying to start new MMA promotion | NewsDiaz has parked a website for a planned promotion called WAR Mixed Martial Arts at NickDiazPromotions.com. And a similar Twitter account has been created, as well.
While a knee-jerk reaction would be to take such a thing with a grain of salt, given Diaz's recent history, it appears the promotion is well on its start to becoming a reality.
An official with the California State Athletic Commission on Monday told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) that Diaz has started the process of applying for a promoter's license in the state. Diaz, along with his brother Nate, famously are based in Stockton, Calif.
The official cautioned, however, that much still needed to be done before WAR MMA could put on a show. Among the items the CSAC would need to review prior to approving a license include financial statements, resumes and an article of incorporation.
The official did say that a background check on Diaz performed by the CSAC came back clean.
It's been an interesting little stretch for Diaz, to say the least. After returning to the UFC as Strikeforce's welterweight champion, he was booked for a title fight against St-Pierre at UFC 137. But when Diaz missed a pair of news conferences promoting the event, UFC President Dana White pulled him from the fight and put Carlos Condit in in his place.
St-Pierre, though, went on to injure his knee, and a bout between Diaz and B.J. Penn served as the UFC 137 main event. With a dominant win over Penn and subsequent callout of St-Pierre, Diaz was again ushered to the front of the line and was expected to fight the champ on Super Bowl weekend with Condit asked to wait for the winner. But when St-Pierre re-iniured his knee, it set up an interim title fight between Diaz and Condit at UFC 143.
Diaz lost that fight in a somewhat controversial decision. After the loss, he vowed retirement. Then he tested positive for marijuana metabolites after the fight and was suspended for a year. After several hearings in Nevada challenging his suspension and its legality, Diaz ultimately served out the entirety of his suspension before returning following a loss and suspension to challenge St-Pierre in Montreal in March.
And after that loss, he again mentioned retirement and even told MMAjunkie.com he hadn't paid taxes in years.
Without a fight lined up, it appears Diaz's claims of retirement may be legit if his planned MMA promotion can be seen through to completion. As of this past month, White said he's fine giving Diaz another fight if he wants one.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
I'm up for a daiz promotion as I believe they will have rules that favor going for the finish and block just controling your opponet. Will it go far I'd say no unless someone else is in control

Rave Motion Pictures Destin Commons 14 and NCM® Fathom Events are teaming up for more special presentations.
In conjunction with Turner Classic Movies, they are presenting a series featuring newly remastered and restored titles commemorating Universal Pictures' 100th anniversary.
The series begins with Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" on Sept. 19 and continues on Oct. 3 with one of the most beloved tales in all cinema — "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," which also celebrates that movie's 30th anniversary.
I cry every time I watch "E.T." even though I know it has a happy ending, more or less.
A double feature of "Frankenstein" and "The Bride of Frankenstein" ramps up the celebration with some scares on Oct. 24.
The series finale features a special 50th anniversary edition of "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Nov 15.
Each event will begin at 7 p.m. local time, with special matinees in select theaters at 2 p.m. In the past, the Rave has had the additional matinee showtime.
The series will include a specially-produced TCM introduction by film historian, author and TCM host Robert Osborne, who will take audiences behind the scenes for each of these American classics with unique insights into their making.
Tickets for these special film events are available at participating theater box offices and online at FathomEvents.com.
Another special film event, but not part of the Universal series, is the 50th anniversary presentation of "Lawrence of Arabia" scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Rave.
The digitally restored film is presented by Fathom and Sony Pictures and includes a special introduction by star Omar Sharif and newsreel footage of the New York premiere and discussion by director Martin Scorsese.
Opera lovers should mark their calendars, too, because the Rave will once again participate in "The Met: Live in HD" series.
The Emmy and Peabody award-winning series returns to U.S. cinemas for its seventh season featuring 12 live operas from the Metropolitan Opera's 2012-13 season.
It starts Oct. 13 with Donizetti's "L'Elisir D'Amore." A pre-recorded encore presentation takes place the third Wednesday after each live performance with some variations because of intervening holidays.
For a complete schedule, visit the website FathomEvents.com and click on the Met Opera Live icon.
"The Voice" began its third season this week on NBC, and it already has produced several standouts among the auditioners.
So far, Gracia Harrison, Bryan Keith and Adriana Louise have my attention.
While host Carson Daly is no Ryan Seacrest, the four "Voice" coaches continue to be a hoot.
Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are especially entertaining. Each has had a singer win a season, and they enjoy razzing each other.
CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera occasionally add some spice to the mix, too.
"American Idol" lost me this season with the announcement that Mariah Carey was going to be a judge. With the high caliber of talent displayed on "The Voice," I don't think I'll miss it.

This festival occurred after the end of the harvesting season. During this time the community would examine how much they had harvested that year and begin their preparations for winter.

St. Petersburg, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Rays reinstated reliever Jake McGee from the paternity list prior to Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
McGee, who had been serving as Tampa Bay's primary closer since the struggling Grant Balfour was removed from the role last month, had missed the first two games of the Toronto series to be with his wife for the birth of the couple's first child.
The hard-throwing lefty has converted 6-of-7 save opportunities since June 15 and owns a 1.56 earned run average in 44 appearances this season.
Tampa Bay optioned Jeremy Hellickson to Double-A Montgomery to make room for McGee on the roster, with the move allowing the former AL Rookie of the Year to make a start in the minors during the All-Star break.
Hellickson returned from elbow surgery to make his season debut Tuesday against Kansas City, allowing one run over 4 1/3 innings.

Some kids dream of working in the E.R., fighting fires, or flying to the moon.
For Paul Bailey, it was auctioneering.
"One day, when I grow up," Bailey remembered thinking, "I want to be an auctioneer!"
The son of an antiques dealer, Bailey had been a fixture at auctions across the East End from a very young age. He loved entering a room of worn possessions and artifacts; but, he particularly enjoyed listening to the auctioneer, who when describing each lot would essentially tell the story of how it came to be.
"I wish I could call this a profession," Bailey, now 65 and a lawyer, wistfully admitted. Instead it's a passion, although — lucky for him — it's a passion he's able to fuel this weekend.
On Saturday, June 2 Bailey will officiate a live auction at The Old Whalers' Church in Sag Harbor. The items, high end antiques and furnishings offered by 15 or so dealers from across the East End, will be available for "inspection" at 9 a.m. The live bidding process will start promptly at 11 a.m. and is expected to last until 3 p.m., depending on how many items end up on the block. (According to Bailey, it takes roughly one hour for an auctioneer to run through 100 lots.)
Bailey initially thought of organizing the event with his daughter, Kelly, about three years ago as a fundraiser for Stella Maris Regional School. However, now that the school's closed, the Baileys decided to transition their fundraising efforts over to the Old Whalers' Church for the benefit of the Community House at Old Whalers' which was established to improve and maintain the facilities used by groups such as the Sag Harbor Food Pantry, the Conservative Synagogue of the Hamptons, Alcoholics Anonymous and other organizations.
By partnering with local antiques stores here on the East End (among those taking part is Colette Home Consignment — which is putting up 300 lots alone — and English Country Antiques), Paul Bailey estimates he will ultimately auction-off anywhere from 200 to 400 lots. (The church will get roughly 20 percent of all sales.)
What's more, in his estimation, Bailey said the event is the first of its kind on the East End in nearly 20 years. And he would know. Though never a full-fledged auctioneer, he has always been an avid auction-goer.
"If there's an auction within my sightline," he added, "I go."
Auctions used to be an annual tradition on the East End, Bailey said. Most prominently etched into his memory now are the summer auctions, which took place each year in Water Mill, where they were run by a man named Charles Vanderveer.
"He did auctions for a living," Bailey explained. "I was just fascinated by him, so I went up to him one day and asked if he needed a hand."
Bailey was about 18 years old at the time, and ended up being his assistant for a few years.
Vanderveer didn't do "a-mile-a-minute;" that verbal technique is reserved for those who've attended auctioneering school. (Yes, they do exist. At one point, Bailey even considered attending. "I wanted to be able to talk fast, just for fun," he said.) Instead, Vanderveer gave Bailey insight into the back-end of the business.
"Being at the podium and doing the auction, that's only 20 percent of it," Bailey said. "The biggest issue is getting things organized."
There are roughly 50 jobs that will be filled (by volunteers) at Old Whalers' between Friday — when the consigners deliver the auction items — and Sunday, when the last of the items sold are expected to be picked up. These positions range from transporting lots, to guarding the lots during "inspection" and — perhaps most importantly — keeping an accurate list of who bid for what.
They'll have their work cut out for them — goods to be sold include furniture, lighting, rugs, glassware, vintage toys and one-of-a kind pieces dating anywhere from the late 19th century to the 1960s.
But, behind the podium, Bailey will have his work cut out for him, as well.
Each lot will come in with a minimum dollar amount set by the consignor. While the auction will typically start below that asking price, it's the auctioneer's job to try to reach that goal, if not exceed it. Bailey is responsible for setting the pace of the auction by deciding increments.
For example, if the bidding for a table worth $300 started at $200 and several cards were up in the first round of bidding, Bailey might increase the selling point by increments of $25. For less popular items, increments might go up by $10.
"You have to watch your audience and pay attention to who's bidding," Bailey said. "Some bidders try to be subtle," he added with a tinge of disdain. "And if they get lost in the bidding process, they squawk."
Ultimately, Bailey said the real draw of the auction process is the thrill of discovery.
He continued, "You sit in a chair and you get an education."
The live auction at Old Whalers' Church (44 Union Street, Sag Harbor) is Saturday, June 2 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with pre-inspection beginning at 9 a.m. The auction is unreserved and there is no buyers' premium. The auction will take place rain or shine, under a tent on the front lawn weather permitting, otherwise in the main sanctuary of the church. The preview will be on the lower level of the church. A café on premises opens at 10:30 a.m., for cash sales of coffee, soft drinks, baked goods and hot dogs throughout the day.
