There Are No Standards
Having been on the development side of things for almost 10 years now, there's a conversation I've heard several times and it goes like this:
"We have a request for feature X"
"Sounds reasonable. Standard X?"
"Yep, should do"
(where X is a shopping cart, search form, login page, etc.)
Alternatively, it's assumed that because these components are so commonplace that we engineers can pick and choose best practices and build something respectable with little to no guidance.
Seeing software as context-free components leaves so much on the table and it absolutely destroys usability. After all, nearly every interaction is an opportunity for competitive advantage (in the reasonable assumption that your competitors have not done design work) so why throw away a potential differentiator?
Unfortunately this is often the driving force behind many (most?) engineering efforts. In the implementation world it's terrific and makes business sense, but when it influences the interactions (which it often does) it's disastrous.
Given the ubiquity of the searching and browsing interfaces for online merchants, let's take the Altrec product browser as an example, for no particular reason other than I happened to be shopping there today.
First, the positives:
- Generally appealing, especially on the individual product pages. I happen to be a fan of the colour scheme; one shared by Adobe and CNN. I like using the site because of the way it looks and its responsiveness (and its prices :-)
- Obvious links to more information for products with no guessing "Where do I go from here?"
- Ability to choose between grid and list view. Helpful when I care less about extended information and can more easily decide based on appearance. I used this twice today.
- Terrific summaries so I don't have to dive in to each product for more information. From this page I can see right away that the Zephyr and the Nomad are my likely choices.
What could use improvement from left-to-right, top-to-bottom:
- The category name "Ropes" is repeated. What does "Ropes: Ropes" mean? I'm guessing this is a by-product of their information architecture approach. It's not going to stop me in my tracks but I did say, "huh?"
- Page browser is shown when there is only one page.
- Inadequate spacing among browse controls. What is the reason for being so miserly with horizontal spacing? Let these components 'breathe' a bit, reducing spatial tension. Let's add 5-7 pixels of padding at least between each, with 13-15 pixels between logical groups.
- Sorting is context-free. I'm browsing ropes, not a group of unrelated widgets. I would like to see "diameter", "length" and "stretch" for starters.
- "Compare: CHECKED ITEMS" placement: Should be left-aligned over the comparison checkboxes. It's currently too far away from its playmates and there are no visual cues to relating them apart from having to read and process "Compare: CHECKED ITEMS".
- The "Compare" label for the "CHECKED ITEMS" button seems to have been done for consistency's sake (i.e. all components are labeled). This should be a button with no label. I suspect this was attempted but with such crowding it would have suffered from common fate, appearing to be related to the "View" option. Make it a button, move it to the left.
- "Our Price" – whose price would I think Altrec is showing me? Its competitor's? Remove "Our".
- "BUY NOW / INFO" is misleading, unnecessary and too much of a visual draw; screaming at you with its fiery red and CAPITALIZATION while you're trying to read product summaries. It should be removed entirely. You can click on the image and on the product name so no worries on getting product info. It doesn't add the product to your cart so "BUY NOW" is inaccurate.
- EXCESSIVE CAPITALIZATION – please, stop screaming at me when I'm trying to find something.
"Standard" components need love too! Here's a quick mockup:
- More breathing room for each individual listing. Same amount of information with less visual crowding through increased spacing and colour combinations.
- Less attention drawn to the brand, more attention drawn to the product. Brand is now placed to the right of the product so that you can more easily scan product names without brands getting in the way.
- More callout of the price, mitigating the need for a label such as "Our Price" or "Price".
- "Compare Selected" functionality now in close proximity to its playmates (the checkboxes). Relatedness further increased by the use of a consistent background.
C'est tout! There's still room for improvement (e.g. including prominent product characteristics like diameter and length in the listing), but it's a Saturday afternoon :-)

Scott, Vernon highlight Duke pro timing day
Nothing jiggled when Desmond Scott took off his shirt and got ready to run during Duke's pro day at the team's indoor practice facility on Monday.
Scott's chest poked out, he appeared to have no stomach and it looked like boulders were sitting on top of his bare shoulders as he zigged and zagged for NFL scouts holding stopwatches and clipboards.
Conner Vernon was out there, too, putting his best foot forward over and over, running routes for the scouts.
"This is the audition," Vernon said. "You've really only got one shot at this."
Vernon, the top pass catcher in ACC history in receptions and receiving yards, already had participated in the invitation-only NFL Scouting Combine in February. But an acrobatic grab in front of those scouts at Duke was another opportunity to show his stuff.
"He caught everything," Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. "Anything he got his hands on, he caught. Conner Vernon is a great football player."
Vernon said, with all due respect, that he's no Wes Welker, unless the comparison to the NFL slot receiver has to do with the veteran's longevity in the league.
"If I could have the career he had, if you told me that, I'd take it tomorrow," Vernon said.
But Vernon (6-1, 200) is bigger than Welker, and he said the two have different styles.
"Conner wasn't a short-ball, screen catcher," Cutcliffe said. "He had a few of those, but he is a dig, post, takeoff (receiver). He beat a lot of good corners consistently in this league that are now playing in the NFL."
Vernon acknowledged that he is one of the top receivers ever to play in the ACC, though he knows that his résumé doesn't guarantee him a job in the NFL.
"It just goes to show how hard it is to play at this level," Vernon said. "It's not for everybody."
What is certain is that Duke football has changed, from the indoor practice facility that wasn't there when Vernon was a freshman to the 21 NFL scouts who were on campus for pro day.
"The NFL is respecting what we've been able to accomplish here at Duke," Vernon said. "We produce talent, so they're bringing guys out here to check it out."
The other participants at the pro day included Jackson Anderson, Jordon Byas, Tony Foster, Donovan Varner and Johnny Williams.
Varner and Williams wrapped up their Duke careers in 2012 but returned looking for shots at the NFL.
Quarterback Sean Renfree is in Phoenix recovering from surgery on his right pectoralis major muscle, Cutcliffe said. Renfree, whose father is an orthopedic surgeon, is free of pain and has full range of motion, and Cutcliffe added that he expects him to get an opportunity to play in the NFL.
Cutcliffe said he wants to see Renfree throw to make sure he hasn't developed any bad mechanics.
The pro scouts wanted to see how fast Cutcliffe's former players could run 40 yards, get an idea of how nifty their feet are and test their strength, among other measurements.
One of the knocks on these sorts of events is that they don't always tell the truth about what a guy can do on the football field, but Scott was game.
"Obviously, it matters to them, so I came out here and tried to give them what they wanted," Scott said after bench pressing 225 pounds 21 times, broad jumping 10 feet, 2 inches, getting up 34 ½ inches on his vertical leap and performing agility drills. "The stuff we did today is the stuff I used to do in my back yard growing up. So today was no pressure, just going out in the back yard and having fun."
Duke lost to Cincinnati in Charlotte's Belk Bowl on Dec. 27. Two days later, Scott said that he was in Atlanta doing mixed-martial arts to strengthen his core.
"I've been rolling ever since," Scott said. "After this, I can go get some Bojangles'. I've been eating clean for about two weeks now, and I've been waking up hungry every day, so finally I can go get some grease and some fries. It's Bo time at Bojangles'. Maybe they want me to endorse it."

I don't want to be presumptuous here or anything, but I think I speak for most of us when I say that Martin Short seems like an incredibly adorable, charming, talented, funny, and lovable man. I love everything he's ever done, and I think he's just incredible. We're all lucky that there's never much gossip about him, or I'd be rambling on about him for days. I love Martin Short. Love. Him.
In case you didn't know this story, Martin was married to a woman named Nancy for several years. They met in 1972 when they were in the same production of Godspell, and they got married in 1980. They had three children together, two sons and a daughter, but in August of 2010, Nancy died after suffering from ovarian cancer.
Let me repeat that last bit: Martin's wife died two years ago.
Now watch this interview he did with Kathie Lee:
If you can think of any interviews that are more uncomfortable than this one, then let me know, because it might be the only thing that can get poor Martin Short's face out of my head. Because, really, Kathie Lee, you know how great this woman is but you didn't know that she's been dead for two years? It might be time to call it a day on this whole journalism thing.

Conejo board discusses possible sites for proposed charter school
The Conejo Valley Unified School District board this week discussed possible sites for a charter school that wants to open in Thousand Oaks by this fall but did not make a decision.
Some parents and teachers at the Open Classroom at Conejo School are trying to establish what they call the Bridges Charter School, saying they want more autonomy to expand the program.
The Conejo Unified board denied the charter in December, citing "holes" in supporters' initial petition. Charter founders have appealed to the Ventura County Office of Education, which plans to review the petition in February.
Conejo Deputy Superintendent Jeffrey Baarstad on Tuesday night presented trustees with various facilities options for the charter school if the Office of Education board approves it. State law requires a school district to provide facilities for a charter school if a certain number of the district's students plan to attend it.
Conejo's options include placing Bridges at the former University School on Atlas Avenue, which closed in June 2009; at Glenwood School; or at Horizon Hills, which houses preschool, adult education and special education programs.
Bridges supporters want the University School site. Baarstad, however, said district staff members suggested Horizon Hills would be a more viable location.
"None of these proposals would satisfy the classrooms recommended for Bridges, but we don't think we should sacrifice our child development and childcare dreams for University," Baarstad said.
District staff estimates the charter would need at least 13 classrooms to accommodate its projected 180 students. Baarstad said only nine classrooms are available at Horizon Hills.
Glenwood would have only seven available classrooms, while University would have 11, district officials said.
Some trustees agreed that putting Bridges at University School would disrupt district plans for a child development center and preschool program there.
"I would not like to give up our plans for University," said board President Pat Phelps. "Keeping the preschool and speech therapy services is certainly the best service we can render."
Trustee Mike Dunn said he wants to know the cost of putting the charter at University, while Trustee Betsy Connolly suggested looking at redrawing attendance boundaries to create space.
Trustee Tim Stephens disagreed. "I think you would create a firestorm if you move students to make room for Bridges," Stephens said. "People would feel they were being thrown out."
Baarstad said the district would have to lease portable classrooms to accommodate the charter. Preliminary estimates show putting it at Glenwood could cost $500,000 to $700,000, Baarstad said, or $400,000 to $500,000 at Horizon Hills. Baarstad said he would provide more cost details at a future meeting.
In other matters, the board unanimously approved renaming the Open Classroom program as the Open Classroom Leadership Magnet at Conejo Elementary.
The Open Classroom is one of two magnet programs in the district. Its teachers focus on cognitive, social and emotional learning while providing hands-on experience and projects for students. About 140 students are in the K-6 program. Conejo School also has traditional K-5 classes that serve about 390 students.
Open Classroom Principal Dena Sellers said the district's program would continue even if it loses families and teachers to the charter school.

I'm working on a project where someone likes a doll I made, but they want it twice as large. What are my options for doubling it's size? I had a lot of headache laying out the stitches for my current pattern so I feel more than a bit intimidated about scaling them. I've seen elsewhere mention the simplest option being to double the yarn or use a thicker yarn and a larger hook, but what size hook should I go to in such a case? Currently I'm using a size G.
Thank you for taking the time to read and reply.
Hello June,
Thank you for taking the time to post such great tutorials. Your apple pattern was one of the very first patterns I ever followed when first learning to crochet.
Would you consider doing a tutorial on crocheting in the round…not as a spiral, but as rounds? I have trouble with that awful seam. It's crooked too!
I love your patterns!! You are so talented!!
I bought your ami-boxer pattern and am confused on the ears. If I follow the pattern and make a magic ring….how does the ear end up looking like yours? I have made it following your instructions and it ends up looking like a cup!! I have been crocheting for 40 years and ears always seem to be my downfall.
Thank you!
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
Oie!Me caso agora em dezembro e gostaria de pedir a receita dos pombinhos!!!Ameeeeei mas ñ tenho grana para encomendar um e minhas tentativas estão sendo frustradas!!!
Agradeço se pudesse postar em seu blog, algum tutorial para construção de pombinho!
Desde já grata!!!
Hi June
First of all congratulations for your great work.
Daianna is getting merry next december and she love very much the wedding couple little birds. Since she cant afford buy them she is asking you to post the wedding birds pattern. Hoping help you both.
That is not really my email… There is no comcast.com but hey! Who cares! What I want to know is how to make the amigurumi legs ( like the skinny kind). I am having trouble trying to create then so help would rock! Luv your work by the way. Awesome. Simply awesome.
Hi June,
Amigurumi is such a cute hobby to start! I have been having difficulties finding a "beginners tool kit" online – can you send me in the right direction? I'd love to start as soon as I can
What am I doing wrong? I am working on a beanie ending with, join in top of beginning ch 3. Ch 3 hdc in next st. There is a crooked seam look to this beanie. Shouldn't the join sl st in the beginning ch 3 be straight down the back? I hope you can help me
Hello, June.
I have absolutely no crochet experience. What tools do I need to begin creating amigurumi? I see a whale pattern on your site. Is that a good place to start? Any help is appreciated!
I would like to see the magic circle, the pictures didn't get it across to me. I have no idea how to start the circle even with the pictures I tried, twice, got mad and gave up, videos ate better for me, so that would be great if you ate making tutorial videos for watch and learned like me:)
Hi! I'd like to know how to make a cone shape like the horn of the unicorn. Thanks
Do you have a video showing how to do a left-handed version of a popcorn or bobble stitch? Thanks.
Hi June,
I am a huge fan of your patterns and tutorials! I'd like to make a request for a video tutorial on stuffing amigurumi of various sizes. In principle, stuffing seems straightforward, but I often find after stuffing and closing my pieces that they don't look at even and polished as your creations. I want to get an idea on the ideal size of stuffing pieces I should be inserting in order to get a very even stuffing of ideal firmness.
PS. What are your favourite yarn suppliers? Do you know any good online suppliers?
Yes, I would love a Magic Circle Video Tutorial too. Love your site!
I love all your wonderfully made patterns and you have inspired me to start creating my own patterns! I am wondering if there is a way to make the crochet icord curly? I guess my problem is that I don't want to do the simple chain then increase back to create squiggly octopus legs, I would like something a lil rounder. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :3
Hi June I just found out about amigurumi and I found it very interesting and cute . But I've been having some problems finding where the tools are sold in Sydney . And I'm not sure if they sell the tools kit or not and I hope that you could help me . Thanks
Quisiera un patron para hacer un delfin, como podría obtenerlo?
A video tutorial showing your ultimate finishing method would really help, if you wouldn't mind! Haha thanks!

Hi! I am new to crocheting and I am picking up some skills quit quickly while others not so much.. I am confused on how you read the amigurumi patterns. I don't understand how at the end of a round that starts off with 2 chains how you can end with 6 stitches. Thank you! -Maddy:)
I am so happy to get hold of a website with all your wonderfull explaining and patterns.
Can you please explain what is Amigurumi crochet is – how do you do it – is it only single crochet?
Do you perhaps have Bavarian crochet?
Hermosisimo blog, felicitaciones !!! AMO EL CROCHET ..saludos
I love your tutorials…thanks so much…I am a lefty…sometimes its hard to learn new stitches…I taught myself how to crochet when I was 19 and I am now 65…back then there were no left handed directions…so I propped up a crochet magazine in front of a mirror…and that is how I learned the basic
stitches…what you see in the mirror is left handed…thank heaven for computers where I now can get all kinds of help for lefties…thanks so much for all your help…I just learned to do the lovers knot and I love it…now I am going to try your I-cord…keep up the great work…
June can you do a crocodile stitch tutorial??? I am so interested to learn it but no tutorial.I can find makes as much sense as yours do!!!!! Love you!!!! X
A great website, and a great master list June. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful tutorials! I am linking back to you in my blog post today at Cara's Handcrafted Crocheted Ornaments. Love and prayers, Cara Louise
Do you have any tips for attaching beads to a finished piece? I plan to add beads as "sprinkles" on a cupcake I am crocheting, but I am not certain how to sew them on securely and neatly.
I just started crocheting again and stumbled across amigurumi… I am in love but i am really rusty so thank you for having easy to understand instructions.
Looking for definition and directions for a "wa". I was directed to your blog for help but I cannot find what I'm looking for….please help!
this is so helpful thank you!
i appreciate tutorial about half double crochet, double crochet and triple crochet! =)
Thank you for your wonderful tutorials! My amigurumi look so much better after learning how to do the invisible decrease. Could you please make a video tutorial showing how you make the foundation single crochet (fsc) that you use in your scalloped scarf pattern?
I have trouble with front and back post stitch. I'm not always sure which post they talk about on the patterns. Could you add a tutorial on how to do this stitch. Please.
Thank you.
What techniques do you employ to minimize the size of holes that appear at the point of insertion in regular sc (worked under both loops)?
I have switched to fluffier yarn, (not bulkier, just springier in any weight), moved to a smaller hook, and have tightened my stitches a bit. Each of these changes has helped a little, but I am still not satisfied. As you point out, BLSC & FLSC actually create larger holes than regular (both) sc.
I've considered using similarly dyed roving as stuffing, (for example, brown roving in a brown bear, but I'm not sure it would hold up/stay well rounded with use & cleaning), working over an extra strand throughout the piece (tedious and adds very little to the stitches) or even lining the pieces which is really carrying perfectionism a little over the top. The only real success I've had is with increasing length of the second loop (one closest to hook) while keeping first (working) loop snug: this adds extra yarn to middle of stitch while keeping the all important top loops tight for next round. But, I'm courting disaster if the Ami is washed or handled a lot since the top loops will get bigger if the tension begins to even out, so this won't work at all for toys/baby gifts.
But seeing those little windows of white stuffing really does bug me and I keep thinking there must be an elegant answer. Your solutions for other Ami issues are so well thought out and executed, so I've climbed the mountain, bowed respectfully with my hands clasped together, and am requesting your wisdom, sensei!
I am lookin for instructions for a chain stitch that includes sc
(you need to chain 12 turn and single c.
with this stitch sc & chain are in one thank you
The Amigurumi essentials kit that you put together is really good and well thought out. The quality of the items in the kit are good. Very useful for beginners like me and also for anyone who want a set of basic and essential tools.
I also enjoy reading your book and learning from your online tutorials.
Thank you
Is there a pictorial for Amigurumi seamless technique? I find them easier to follow than the video. Thank-you.
I justed started amigurumi a month ago and love your tutorials.
I've used the magic ring several times, and the hole does not stay closed.
It invariably opens enough to leave hole. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly, so I don't know what's wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I really like the tutorial on the loop stitch and I know how to make a double loop stitch as well but when I used it to make a wig for me doll I noticed the two loops that make up the single crochet part on the back are rather noticeable at the hairline. Should I have folded them in when sewing on the wig or something?
Do you have any other suggestions about doll hair, particularly for boy dolls. I also tried to embroider on a smile but I don't really know a lot about embroidery. I watched your video with the bunny nose but it was more about starting and stopping rather than what you can do with embroidery and how to go about it. I would particularly like to know how to make a good doll nose that sticks out and know the best way to embroider doll hair for a different straight haired look.
Hello June
My english is not good.I just want to say that they. Instructions very good and thanks for the many suggestions nützlichten
Wishes even more super ideas. Greetings from Germany Regina
Hi June,
I used your i-cord tutorial and a multi-colored, medium weight yarn (Sugar 'n Cream Twists) to make a simple bracelet today. I slipped memory wire down into the channel created by the third column of crochet (where the tube folds onto itself) and curled over the wire ends so they wouldn't snag the yarn. A quick slip stitch through the inside stitches keeps the memory wire inside the i-cord. Voila! Simple, beautiful, ready to wear bracelet that looks deceptively complicated. That's pretty cool! Thank you so much for the i-cord tutorial!
Hello June! Thanks for all your amigurumi help. You are always my number one source! I am following a Japanese pattern (Ami Ami Dogs book) and I am a little confused on how to finish a round. Does the slip knot go into the starting chain of the round, or do you skip the starting chain and slip knot into the first single crochet (but this would shift everything…)? Do you count the chain/slip knot as part of you count? thank you!
I wanted to know if, for the I-cord bracelet, which I am dieing to make, if you could include a tutorial on how to end it with some pizzazz. I saw a pic of one which was joined at the end with a large button. I'm not that smart to know how to do this myself. Is there a way you can help me. Thank you.
Amigurumies are a very recent thing for me, I found out about and started working on them only this year, and I'm HOOKED! They are freaking addictive! Thank you soo much for your tips and help, there are so many things to learn and to do, I want to do everything, but I want to do the best work I can and your site is going on my bookmarks lol.
I have done basic crochet items since a child but never got into reading patterns, just did scarves and such that did the same stitch over and over. I am now trying to advance my abilities but am having a hard time understanding the terminology used in patterns. I would love to see a basic tutorial library that would show how to make each of the stitches. You could add to it as others requested more stitches or offered stitches they have found. You would type in the name and it would be alphabetized by name. It would be a crochet stitch dictionary of sorts. Just a thought.
Also, along this line, how do you make a double crochet loop?
I would love to see some various advice like; for beginners- how to hold the yarn in your non-stitching hand and yarn tension, and ergonomics/comfort.
Could you give some advice on how to create a curve in an item. I'm making a little "thing" with a head that flows into a hat that looks rather elfish – with a definite curve that ends in a crocheted ball tip. (It's all crochet). The directions just say to continue decreasing, but this doesn't create the curve that shows in the pic. I've tried stuffing it in different ways, but that doesn't do the trick. HELP!! I'm getting so frustrated, but want this for my grandson who is to arrive soon. Your website and tutorials are SO helpful and you are always my go-to site for anything amigurumi. I've learned so much and have become better in making my items because of YOU!! Thanks so much for any help you can give me, and all that you have given to all of us who come here. You deserve a halo and wings, you give so generously. You are my crochet angel!!
Hello -love the way you explain how to crochet (finally i have managed to crochet something!!
Can you please give me a photo tutorial on double crochet stitch and treble/triple crochet stitch…
tanks alot.its so beautyfull and graets.tnkyou again
I love your photo tutorials as I have a problem learning from a video. Hopefully you will add photo tutorials to the ones that only have video. I am left handed and they really help. I have your Amigurumi book and also the essentials kit, but being able to print out the photo's larger and in color really help. Thank you soo much..
Would love a tutorial on stuffing.
THANK YOU June for your assistance. Your website is AWESOME. I know I will be using it often.
Hi June. I just happened upon your website and am thrilled to have found it. I've recently begun crocheting, by using YouTube to teach me from scratch. While there are enormous numbers of brilliant videos to be found on YouTube, I find that with amigurumi, sometimes a more specific tutorial is required. I love your patterns – they are exactly the type of thing i want to make, so I'm happy you also provide tutorials in line with them, so newbies like me can tackle them. Thanks for your excellent site.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment here! I read and appreciate every comment. I only respond to questions here on the blog, so please return to this page to see my reply, or check the box below to subscribe to new comments by email.
Please note that I can only answer questions related to PlanetJune patterns and tutorials (see details), and I can only respond to questions or comments written in English. Thank you :) - June

International Filipino Kyusho Association
I found some interesting videos on Youtube that seemed to show Panantukan-like moves which seemed pretty cool, but when I drilled down on the GM's website I found this offer. 100 pounds/year and you can teach Filipino Kyusho too!
Has anyone heard of this particular combination of Filipino and Kyusho mixed together and whether this guy is legit? Also, and more interesting, has anyone signed up for the 100 pounds a year? :)

Great idea! Send tourists to the Chain of Rocks bridge so that they can be raped then thrown off the bridge.
Some of us still remember the Kerry sisters.
10950 Riverview Drive
North St. Louis County, MO 63137
Most major cities have art museums, zoos and various public attractions, but we have something unique: the Chain of Rocks Bridge. Located just south of the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, our special geography makes this site possible. The Chain of Rocks connects the Riverview area of north St. Louis County with Chouteau Island in Madison, Illinois. Though it was once a humming part of old Route 66, the Chain of Rocks Bridge has long been closed to vehicles and now serves as a serene pedestrian path that links us to our neighboring state across that mighty river. There are quite a few nature-related events hosted there throughout the year — such as the beloved eagle-watching gathering, Eagle Days — but you don't need an event to enjoy this site. The quiet bridge offers the chance to find peace every morning with the wind in your hair, a beautiful view of downtown St. Louis to the south and the always impressive Big Muddy gurgling below.
Great idea! Send tourists to the Chain of Rocks bridge so that they can be raped then thrown off the bridge.
Some of us still remember the Kerry sisters.
I haven't been by there in a week or so (maybe this has changed for summer) but FYI, they either don't open the parking lot gate anymore or it is very rarely open, and in disrepair on the Missouri side. There are bathrooms but they were also declining last time I actually had to use them. You may have to call the city parks department to come open the gate, or park in front of the metal barricades. Also keep in mind it is a footpath for people that don't have cars and don't mind the 4 mile walk to Granite City. (No buses up here that go across the river. You have to go downtown.) You can ride your bike from downtown. The riverfront greenway goes by there, although it is on the other side of Riverview for a mile or so before COR bridge.
Don't you dopes know by now that the Big Muddy is the Missouri, not the Mississippi?

Free Home Schools | How To Get Home
Schooled | Home School GamesHigh School Home School Curriculum
So, you want to know how to stay home from school, do you? Well, I am on your side, because I believe in home
schooling. That is a legitimate reason for staying at home from school. I do believe in education though, so if you
are looking for ways of bunking off learning, you are on the wrong site. This web site is about how to stay home
from school by home schooling. However, home schooling has its problems, which are mostly motivational. If you are
interested in schooling via the internet you will not need any thing special.
This problem can be more exacerbated when you are trying to obtain a degree from home through accredited online colleges.
Do you think that spending time in traditional classrooms is a waste of time? For many people, that is probably
true. For instance, an exam is due and the pupils are told to memorize a lot of dates and names.
However, after taking the exam, they will probably forget 90% of those dates and names, but that is what the
majority of students do every time they have exams.
If you are one of these people, you will find traditional history lessons boring, so home schooling, which
focuses more on the history of the world, will probably interest you far more.
Just simple memorization is not enough to realize the significance of historical, famous people and fateful
events. Through home schooling in history, you can study the different cultures of the past in a different, but
interesting way - that is in your own way! By the study of history, you will also understand what is happening in
the world.
But, if you consider that home schooling is the best option for you or your child, you should also be prepared
to undertake certain responsibilities. Since there will be no teacher physically present, you will have to oversee
your child's educational development by yourself.
This is the main problem if you are wondering how to stay at home from school and study at home.
If you decide to go down the road of keeping your children at home from school, you will need help and lots of
it. You can get a high school home school curriculum free of charge, but then they will want to charge you for the
books you will need. Perhaps the best way to get free home schools material is through your church or through a
local community centre.
Why not put an advert in the local paper to see if someone wants to share homeschooling material, so that you
have a virtually free home schools curriculum?
If you want to know how to get home schooled, it is quite easy to find out. There are loads of forums where you
can check out how other kids feel about home schooling. In my experience, if your parents are diligent, you will
probably get home schooled better than you would in state school. There are too many distractions and bullies in
normal schools. If I were a kid, I would be looking at how to get home schooled.
An important, typical deficiency of home schooling is home school games. It is hard for parents to provide team
sports games for their children. Or is it? Home school games can easily be organized through the local YMCA or the
local community centre. Many sports are solitary, but home schoolers need to learn team games too. Parents and
children will have to think and talk about hoe to tackle the question of home school games
Most parents will have an idea what an average high school curriculum is, so why need a high school home
curriculum be any different? Well, that depends on your beliefs and your point of view.
If you home school your kids, you can decide on your kids' high school home curriculum, but don't take the
responsibility lightly. If you impose a high school home curriculum that is out of kilter, your child may have a
distorted view of the world.

This issue of Perspectives focuses on feeding and swallowing disorders associated with dementia. We begin with an overview of neurodegenerative dementias with focus on diagnostic criteria, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, risk factors, current treatments, and overall implications upon oral intake. We further explore the impact of apraxia when correlated with dementia and its confounding impact on meal times and swallow function as the disease process exacerbates. In addition, we present a study of the early onset of clinical indicators in mild Alzheimer's disease processes in relation to swallow function and preservation of independent feeding and swallowing skills; authors note that alterations in feeding skills, cortical control, and deglutitive physiology are altered prior to complaints of reduced swallow function. We propose use of spaced retrieval as a functional therapeutic technique to treat patients with dementia and concomitant dysphagia. Finally, we include a reminder to be cognizant of the need for family/caregiver education to enhance informed care via diagnostic means, nutritional support, objective rating scale performance, and physiological parameters indicative of overall health. In this light, we can serve the family and patient as a support and better give them the opportunity to make informed choices to maximize preservation of swallow function and independence for their loved one.

NEW LONDON, Conn. — The Tennessee, the nation's first nuclear-powered submarine designed to fire multi-warhead Trident 2 missiles, was commissioned Saturday while about 100 protesters staged a mock funeral procession outside the Naval Underwater Systems Center.
The submarine was hailed as a weapon "fitted for the demands of modern peace," by former Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr., who along with other Tennessee and Navy dignitaries were in a crowd of about 1,200 celebrating the submarine's formal entry into the fleet.
Members of the Coalition to Stop the Trident had threatened a large demonstration and acts of civil disobedience, but no protesters were arrested.
"The only reason for this type of submarine is for us to have a 'first-strike' policy; they're not a defensive weapon," said Joanne Sheehan, a member of the Coalition to Stop the Trident.

Gourmet Deviled Eggs
from Chef David James Robinson
With Easter coming up, it's nice to have some ideas to use up all those boiled and decorated eggs. Here is an adult version of Deviled Eggs that puts them into the gourmet category. Put these with a glass of wine for an hors d'oeuvres, or have them for a fancy snack. Farm-fresh eggs are harder to peel than older grocery store eggs, so I don't go to the farmer's market or farmstand when I'm going to make these – I use older grocery store eggs.
§ 6 Eggs (note that each egg makes 2 halves, for a total of 12 halves)
§ Saucepan of Cold Water
§ 3 Tablespoons of Sour Cream
§ 3 Tablespoons of Very Finely Diced Onion
§ 2 to 3 teaspoons of Wasabi Paste or Hot Mustard of Your Choice
§ Caviar, or Smoked Salmon, or Cooked Shrimp to Garnish the Tops of the Eggs
1. Put uncooked, uncracked eggs in their shells in a saucepan.
2. Cover the eggs in the saucepan with cold water (sometimes the eggs float, but don't sweat that). This is one of the few recipes, like potatoes, that we start in cold water.
3. Put the eggs and the saucepan on a burner on the stove over high heat. Bring them to a boil.
4. Once they have reached the boil, turn the burner OFF.
5. Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat, put the pan on a heatproof surface or heatproof counter, cover the pan with a lid or foil. Wait 15 minutes – set a timer if you want (wait 8 to 12 minutes if you want softboiled eggs with runny yolks – but we want firm yolks and whites for Deviled Eggs, so wait the full 15 minutes).
6. Go ahead and color, paint, or decorate the eggs, if you want. Put on your Vincent Van Gogh – except don't cut off your ear like he did!
7. When you are ready to make the Deviled Eggs, crack the cooked eggs and peel them under cold running water, or you can peel them underwater in a bowl of cold water.
8. Once the boiled eggs are peeled, cut them in half lengthwise as evenly as you can. Take the yolks out of the egg whites and put the yolks in a small bowl, set the whites aside (you will fill them in a minute).
9. Peel and finely dice part of an onion until you have 3 Tablespoons.
10. Smash the yolks up with a fork, add 3 Tablespoons of sour cream and mix it in.
11. Then add 2 teaspoons of Wasabi paste or Hot Mustard (put more in, if you can stand it!).
12. Smash it all together until it's a smooth paste, and put it in a ziplock-style gallon bag and zip it up.
13. Cut the corner of the bag with some scissors – you want about a 1-inch hole in the corner.
14. Twist and squeeze the bag, moving the yolk mixture into the cut corner, as you fill each egg white with some of your yolk mixture.
15. Garnish with a little caviar on top, or smoked salmon, or cooked shrimp.

Aspects of the life of Paul Hirsch, collector of music, librarian, musician and exile from Nazi Germany, with photographs taken from the Hirsch Collection at the British Library.
Balet comique de la Royne
Hirsch was particularly interested in decorated editions and fine engraving. This description of a court ballet performed in celebration of the marriage of the Duc de Joyeuse in 1581 includes illustrations of the costumes and sets, as well as the full text, and music for the songs and dances.
Balet Comique de la Royne © The British Library Board
An early Bach edition
Collecting rare first editions was one of Hirsch's prime concerns. Among the music of Bach in his library was a set of parts for Cantata no. 71, the first work of Bach's to be published, and the only cantata to be printed in his lifetime. These parts were printed at Mühlhausen, where the work was first performed, in 1708. Only three copies of the publication are known to have survived.
Johann Sebastian Bach, Glückwünschende Kirchen Motetto. Mühlhausen, 1708. British Library, Hirsch III.620.Copyright © The British Library Board
Musical playing cards
The vogue for dancing and singing in the early eighteenth century led to a huge increase in the publication of popular music. Some was published in unusual forms, for instance on fans or playing cards. Hirsch acquired a rare pack of 52 playing cards dating from around 1725, still with its original woven case. Each card bears a song for voice and flute.
British Library, Hirsch IV.1444. Copyright © The British Library Board
A Mozart Library
Hirsch's favourite composer was Mozart, and he went to great lengths to assemble a vast collection of first and early editions, producing a catalogue of his Mozart holdings in 1906 to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth. Among these scores was the first edition of Mozart's Musical Joke, the title-page of which shows the type of village band Mozart was caricaturing in the work.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Musikalischer Spass. Offenbach, 1802. British Library, Hirsch IV.128. Copyright © The British Library Board
Hirsch and Goethe
Hirsch acquired many musical settings of the poems of Goethe, and in 1920 prepared an exhibition on Goethe and music for the Gesellschaft der Freunde des Frankfurther Goethe-Museum, loaning music from his own collection for the occasion. Among the scores on display was the first edition of five Goethe settings by Franz Schubert, published in 1821.
Franz Schubert, Rastlose Liebe, Nähe des Geliebten, Der Fischer, Erster Verlust, und Der König in Thule. Vienna, 1821. British Library, Hirsch IV.478. Copyright © The British Library Board
Catalogues and further reading
The printed scores and books in the Hirsch collection are catalogued in the Library's main catalogue, Explore the British Library. The small number of manuscripts in the collection are listed in the Manuscripts Catalogue. Short descriptions of these manuscripts may also be found in Pamela J. Willetts: Handlist of Music Manuscripts acquired [by the British Museum] 1908-67 (London, 1970).
Paul Hirsch, with Kathi Meyer, published his own four-volume catalogue of the library, Katalog der Musikbibliothek Paul Hirsch (Berlin, Frankfurt and Cambridge, 1928-47).

WASHINGTON- - The National Rifle Association is breaking its silence four days after a school shooting in Newtown, Conn., where 26 were killed, including 20 children.
The nation's largest gun rights organization made its first public statements Tuesday after a self-imposed media blackout that left many wondering how it would respond to the killings. In its statement, the group said its members were, quoting, "shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders."
The group also said it wanted to give families time to mourn before making its first public statements. The organization pledged "to help to make sure this never happens again" and has scheduled a news conference for Friday.

LOUDON, N.H. (September 13, 2008) – Travis Kvapil had not raced the Zaxby's Ford F-150 since May, but it did not take him long to get the hang of it again. Despite starting 19th since qualifying was rained out, he quickly worked his way up front, led 24 laps and contended for the win before finishing third.
The Zaxby's truck was strong in practice on Friday morning, but rain showers canceled most of the afternoon practice. Qualifying was also canceled so teams were forced to line up by owners' points to start the 200-lap race. Kvapil started 19th and quickly told the team his truck was pretty good. He was up to 12th within nine laps and moved into 10th place on lap 10.
As the race progressed the truck became tight in the center of the corners. When a caution came on lap 50, crew chief Chad Norris brought Kvapil to pit road for four tires and minor adjustments. The Zaxby's team had a fast stop which maintained their seventh-place position for the restart on lap 60.
Kvapil continued his march forward and was up to third place by the halfway point of the race. He was running lap times faster than the leader and took the lead during a cycle of green-flag pit stops on lap 127. He pitted on lap 131 for fresh tires and fuel to finish the race. The team had a quick 15.1-second stop, and when everyone had cycled through the pits Kvapil was once again the leader on lap 138.
It looked as though he had a shot at returning to victory lane until a restart on lap 158. A lapped truck got loose inside Kvapil. He avoided the lapped truck which spun, but it allowed Ron Hornaday to get by him.
With 38 laps to go, Kvapil did everything he could to regain the lead. His truck was strong on long runs, but with four cautions in the final 30 laps he was never able to get the green-flag racing he needed. He finished third, the best finish this season for the No. 09 Zaxby's team. Hornaday won the race, his fifth of the season.
"Our truck was really good on the long haul, but it just took us way too long to get going," Kvapil said. "About 10-15 laps into the run our truck would take off, but we were just way too free to go fast and go hard, and then after 10-15 laps we'd take off. I'm really proud of my team. Everybody on the Zaxby's Ford did a great job and we just had a long green-flag truck and had a bunch of yellows there at the end that really hurt us."
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to action at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 20. Bobby East will pilot the No. 09 Zaxby's Ford F-150 at Las Vegas.

A federal appeals court has ordered a criminal case to continue against four Blackwater guards who allegedly shot and killed Iraqi civilians in 2007 in Baghdad.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed a lower-court ruling dismissing indictments against the four guards of Blackwater, which has since changed its name to Xe.
"We find that the district court's findings depend on an erroneous view of the law," the appeals court stated. "We thus vacate and remand the case for the court to determine, as to each defendant, what evidence—if any—the government presented against him that was tainted as to him, and, in the case of any such presentation, whether in light of the entire record the government had shown it to have been harmless beyond a reasonable doubt."
Dean Boyd, spokesman for the Justice Department, said: "We're pleased with the ruling and assessing the next steps."
The appeals court upheld, however, dismissing an indictment against a fifth Blackwater guard.

Guest Blog Adele Parks
Mon, 27 Jun 2011 08:32
It's week three of our Summer Festival and we're very pleased to welcome best-selling author Adele Parks to the Book Depository blog. Her new book, About Last Night is just out and already storming up the charts. We've also got ten copies to give away if you head over here.
But enough of my yakkin' here's Adele to tell you a bit about how she started and what writing means to her:
"I've wanted to write novels for as long as I can remember. As a child I read voraciously and wrote my own stories, making them into little books. As I grew up I always had notebooks which I jotted ideas into and when I got drunk I shamefacedly whispered about my secret dream. I was twenty-eight before I started to take myself and my ambition seriously. Once I did, I simply worked steadily until I had a novel I could present to anyone. I ruthlessly self edited, I accepted criticism and I researched my market which secured me an agent. My agent presented my book to 6 publishers and they all accepted it. I do realize this is a bit sickening to anyone who has had numerous knockbacks but on the other hand my story shows that dreams come true and novelists work in a world of dreams so I hope no-one resents it too much!
Over the past decade my career has taken me to USA, Italy, Sweden, Bosnia, Canada, and South Africa. I'm lucky enough to have my works translated into over 20 languages (although I have no idea what's said!). I've met a vast array of people from famous journalists and TV celebs to Prime ministers and people struggling to read their first novel through my work with The Reading Agency and literacy programmes. It's mind blowing really.
Since 2000, I've written eleven novels, About Last Night being my most recent. I'm scarily disciplined, very probably a workaholic but then it's not difficult to be obsessive about something you enjoy, ask anyone who has ever been in love. I write about those irrefutable, perennial issues that interest us all. I try to scrutinize our theories of love, parenthood, friendship and fidelity; I try to do so with honesty and humour. I think contemporary romance is incredibly popular and enduring because without love what have we got? It's defining, exhilarating, disappointing, infinite.
My novels are a mix of reality and escapism. The contemporary settings, descriptions and characters are all part of our world which allows the reader to easily and joyfully relate to the situations but the difference is that a contemporary romance novel invariably offers a happy or at least satisfactory resolution. We see characters improve and get just what they deserve; we often crave that in real life and appreciate it in our fiction - I think that might be part of the enduring appeal. This genre offers entertainment, solace and above all hope. However, even though my novels have a romantic element I think they also have an attitude that's modern and reflective of the women who read my work. Intelligent women who want to exam the thorny issues of the lives we lead today, women who appreciate an up-front, tell-it-as-it-is style.
I love receiving reader feedback. I've already had emails from fans who've finished About Last Night, even though it was only released 4 days ago (at the time of writing). They confide their stories of betraying best friends or husbands. There's a real sense that we're connected, which we are. My books are mine when I write them but they belong to the reader after that. We share the experience."

Gonna be honest with ya here, it's been a while, and i'm tired and lazy so I'm not gonna google it up.
But I'd try a different wad, if you can find it. I know back when I was copying some wiiware for the first time I was getting some error, honestly forget what it was, but the short of it is it meant Wad Manager couldn't read the whole file properly. Which seemed weird as it'd get a ways through before giving me it. Anyway, i deleted the wad, re-downloaded/copied it to my sdcard and then wad manager installed it fine.
If you have those ios's installed you have everything needed to run wiiware. You're also, if your sig is right, on 3.2 so you shouldn't need any special fixes (afaik).
I'd go with erasing it off, finding a different wad if you can, and have firefox or IE or whatever you use save it directly to your SDCard.

Nanowiring using boron clusters
A model system that could serve as a "blueprint" for graphene-based nanodevices of the future has been put forward by scientists in Italy, Turkey and Germany. The model involves using alternating chains of boron clusters to connect various parts of a semiconducting graphene substrate. The concept is very similar to that routinely employed in silicon-based integrated circuits, but the resulting graphene-based devices would be several orders of magnitude smaller.
Graphene is set to become one of the key materials in future nanotechnology applications. However, graphene-based devices studied so far are on the micron rather than nanoscale because they mainly consist of broad sheets of graphene connected by wiring of about the same size.
Now, Jens Kunstmann of the Max-Planck Institute for Festkörperforschung in Stuttgart and colleagues have proposed a way to take the wiring down to the nanoscale by implanting chains of B7 clusters into the graphene matrix. These clusters might then be used to connect various areas of a semiconducting graphene substrate.
Previous theoretical studies on heterogeneous nanotubular boron-carbon networks by the team have shown that boron and carbon are compatible on the nanoscale. The researchers have gone a step further and calculated that small planar boron clusters embedded into a graphene substrate act as metallic islands. These functionalize the surrounding graphene to allow electron transport through the substrate.
So could the concept be applied to real systems? "Implantation of boron clusters into bulk silicon is already an industry standard," explained Kunstmann, "so why not try the same treatment for graphene? We examined an alternating chain of boron clusters, where individual clusters are separated by pieces in the underlying carbon matrix."
"As well as technological applications, boron-functionalized carbon might also serve as a challenging test case for state-of-the-art nanotechnology," he told nanotechweb.org.
Kunstmann stressed that his team's preliminary results should not be overrated and said he would like other theorists to join in and advance the study of functionalized graphene. "Here, it might be most interesting to find out about the nature of the electronic transport through these boron wires," he said. "We clearly see electron states appearing in the gap of the underlying graphene, but this does not tell us anything about the basic transport mechanisms in such materials."
He also added that in realistic nano-layouts, the boron chains might be irregular, containing clusters of different sizes and shapes. "So what are the physical and chemical limitations here, and where would the basic functionalization by these boron chains finally break down?" he asked.
The work was reported in arXiv.

is a class 10 sdhc card the only type that will give "disc like" speeds? my class 6 8gb runs pretty slow on loading screens and im guessing its the card not any settings or missing files. i have a class 8 but i used it in a camera so im not quite ready to give it up. I could buy a class 10 32gb, but if its not quite worth it, then i wont. The games are stil playable, but theres a good minute or 2 between loading screens.
Also does compressing the games affect speed, or just size?
