The Other Side of the Tracks (De l'autre coto du periph) (1997)
Hoping to provide an insider's view of the horrible conditions endured by residents (most of them North African immigrants) of Paris' notorious suburban housing projects, noted filmmaker Bertrand Tavernier and his son and co-director Niles Tavernier lived in one of them for several months. The inspiration for their action came from the Paris housing minister who -- in response to several French filmmakers' call for civil disobedience after the French government passed the controversial immigration sanction, the Debre Act in 1997 -- suggested that Tavernier move into a project and to experience life on the other side of the tracks for himself. The director and his son, who did most of the filming, chose the neighborhood known as Grand Pechers (The Big Peach Trees) located in Montreuil outside of central Paris. It took the two helmers quite a while to earn the trust of the locals, but eventually they succeeded. Interviewing educators, residents and officials, including cops, the Taverniers paint an unforgettable portrait of poverty, racism, violence and an inspiring sense of determination and perseverance from people who outwardly have very little hope of improving their lives.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Seventy percent of American taxpayers — more than 100 million people — are eligible to file their tax returns for free, says Timothy D. Hugo, executive director of the Free File Alliance, a coalition between the IRS and a group of tax-software companies.
The links on the IRS's free-file page aren't live yet (www.irs.gov), but they're due to be unveiled Jan. 30. And when they do appear, they'll lead to a dozen sites where you can prepare your federal income tax return for free. Some sites will even offer free state e-filing.
Free person-to-person help
While you wait for the IRS to launch its free services, you can start looking around for live, face-to-face help. Two major programs offer walk-in centers all over the country: the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, and Tax Counseling for the Elderly.
The VITA program's volunteers work with taxpayers with income below $51,000, folks who are disabled and members of the military and their families. At the TCE sites, priority is given to those age 60 and over and the disabled. Since they tend to work with lower income and elderly taxpayers, the volunteers know a great deal about the special tax credits and benefits available to these groups. These services are typically set up in community spaces, like schools, libraries, houses of worship, community centers and other places easy for locals to find. VITA and TCE programs have become so popular in some places that volunteers have had to turn people away.
To address that problem, Hugo rallied the Free File Alliance partners. Four of them stepped up to help the VITA program establish a new service. With the help of Intuit, H&R Block, TaxSlayer and FileYourTaxes.com, 300 service sites in 29 states now have do-it-yourself terminals. You can enter your own tax return data, and file your federal and state tax returns for free. You can have a VITA volunteer look over your work before you file it and help you do it correctly.
There is an armed forces version of VITA is called the Armed Forces Tax Council. Volunteers and experts know the special credits, deductions and exclusions available to members of all branches of the armed forces and their families.
To locate the nearest VITA or TCE site, go to the VITA locator tool on IRS.gov (link) or call 800-906-9887. The nearest AARP site can be found on its website (link) or by calling 888-227-7669.
These programs also welcome volunteers. And you don't need a tax background or education to participate.
Free online filing
When the doors to the Free File Alliance program do open up, expect to find links to the special FFA sites of these companies: 1040NOW, 2nd Story Software, Drake Enterprises, TaxSimple, ezTaxReturn, FileYourTaxes, Free Tax Returns, H&R Block, Intuit, Liberty Tax, OnLine Taxes, TaxHawk, TaxSlayer, Tax Centers of America/Online Tax Pros, and EFileTaxReturns.
Seib & Wessel: Paul Ryan on debt, taxes and 2012
The Wisconsin congressman discusses how Republicans will proceed on the next round of budget battles. WSJ reporters analyze what that portends for this year, and what Ryan's political future holds.
That one-stop overview will tell you about the special features in each company's FFA offering. All sites cater to those whose adjusted gross incomes are $57,000 or below. The site spells out which ages and additional income levels can use their site, which states they process and are free to e-file, special programs for the military, and so forth. Some services even accept taxpayers with foreign addresses.
Good news for pop-up haters: These sites are free of all advertisements. No upsells are allowed. There are no links to refund-anticipation loans or anything else you don't need. And there are no fees related to federal refunds, either.
One major advantage of this list is that all of these companies, and software, have been checked out carefully by both the IRS and the Free File Alliance team. Even if you're using paid software, you can select providers from this list and be assured that the companies are reliable and stable and will protect your very private information.

The lone survivor of the fiery Antwerp accident that took six lives almost a year ago still suffers from a series of lingering injuries.
But Lewis Lottie Jr. can only think about the families of the other victims after hearing that the driver of the tractor-trailer involved in the July 19, 2012, crash will not face any felony charges in connection with the crash on Route 11 in the town of Antwerp.
On Tuesday night, James A. Mills Jr., 45, Myerstown, Pa., was charged with the unclassified misdemeanor of reckless driving. He also was cited with traffic infractions of following too closely, failure to reduce speed for a hazard and failure to obey a flag person.
A Jefferson County grand jury did not return a felony charge against Mr. Mills, District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert said Wednesday. Instead, a prosecutors information which determines that there was not evidence to support felony charges against him but brought the misdemeanor charge and traffic violations was unsealed at his arraignment Tuesday night in Antwerp Town Court.
Mr. Lottie, a father of four, said he is disappointed but not surprised with the grand jurys decision.
Its the justice system, he said. It is what it is.
He said he feels bad for those who lost family members.
Its just sad, he said
Killed were Laurie A. Dana, 42, North Lawrence; her daughters, Caitlyn O., 14, and Lauryn E., 11; their grandmother, Janet P. Dana, 69; Shannon M. Planty, 14, a friend of Caitlyns, and the driver of another car, Maryann D. Gregory, 59, Dickinson Center.
Mr. Mills pleaded not guilty Tuesday night. The matter was adjourned until Sept. 26 for further proceedings. Mr. Mills is being represented by Gouverneur attorney Gary W. Miles, who could not be reached for comment.
Mrs. Intschert said she understands why Mr. Lottie or anyone associated with the accident would feel that way, but they need to know its much more difficult to prove criminally negligent vehicular homicide than it is for a civil lawsuit.
I cannot possibly put myself in his shoes, she said. It was an absolutely tragic collision. However, I presented a full case to the grand jury.
The skidding tractor-trailer driven by Mr. Mills crashed into the rear of a car, setting off a chain reaction.
that involved a state Department of Transportation pickup, a 2004 Toyota RAV4 and two other trucks at the front of the line.
The crash occurred shortly after 9 that Thursday morning at a highway repaving project just south of Fox Ranch Road. A line of southbound vehicles was stopped at the site, where Barrett Paving of Watertown, under contract with DOT, was doing the work.
Mr. Lottie, who was driving the DOT pickup truck, suffered critical injuries and continues to recover. He was on his way to a DOT meeting in Watertown when the accident happened.
He escaped as the pickup burst into flames from a gas tank explosion. Family members have credited DOT personnel and Barrett Paving employees for pulling him out of the vehicle.
The district attorney said her office has worked hard on the investigation and case.
This is a very involved situation, clearly, so the investigation has been ongoing, Mrs. Intschert said. Therefore, it took a considerable amount of time.
State police attributed Mr. Millss driver inattention as a cause of the tragedy. Because of the level of severity of the accident, a panel of state police accident reconstruction experts from around the state met last year in Albany to review the crash, but its findings have not been made public.
Mrs. Intschert said Wednesday that she did not know the status of Mr. Millss truck drivers license, but said it could be revoked. She said she had not seen the state report.
Mr. Lottie said he suffers from such major injuries as no feeling in his lower back and left foot, needs a total hip replacement, must undergo more pelvis surgery and has burns associated with the fiery crash.
I will never be the same, he said.

I am going to start winter backpacking this year and wanted to get feedback on using my existing car vs buying a new 4WD car.I will have chains and really just need to get to the trail head. This will be in the Tahoe / Yosemite region.I guess if the roads are really bad I can always just pull over and throw chains on. I'm just worried that I would get stuck if I went back to far.Thoughts?
Front Wheel Drive or Rear Wheel Drive? FWD is much better for nasty roads...of course 4x4 is king.
It depends where you are going.I recently bought a 4wd so I can get in (and out) of places that may exclude a 2wd or Awd.I was in Canada last weekend and ended up using the 4wd to drive on some snow and ice covered forestry tracks.
Edited by stephenm on 12/08/2012 17:49:55 MST.
Bring extra food and water in case you get stuck. Leave intenerary with someone so SAR could bail you out.A couple years ago I drove FWD until I got stuck - snow was a little deeper than I thought so I bottomed out and quickly stopped. Put on chains and drove out. Maybe kind of stupid but I knew that road had some winter traffic and I had food and fuel for many days.Don't go up a road that get's snowed over for months in the winter and not tell anyone where you went. There are occasional people that don't survive that.
IMHO . . . okay, maybe my Not so HO, having grown up driving in lots of mud and snow, I think our society is not very smart about four wheel drives (4WD).4WD does not improve the safety of a vehicle in any significant way. 4WD does not increase the amount of tread you have on the road. It does not increase the amount of traction for stopping or turning control (relative to front wheel drive). The ONLY thing 4WD offers is a whole lot more drive traction. If you want to drive your vehicle up a hill in slippery conditions, you will be able to go up steeper hills. If you are stopped, you will be able to restart on a slippery hill more easily. And yes, you will be able to drive through deeper mud/snow, although, surprisingly not much deeper because the height of the bottom of your care is what will likely stop you in either a 2WD or 4WD.And, if you are willing to put on chains, a 2WD car has enough traction to go pretty much anywhere a 4WD car can in the snow . . . assuming equal ground clearance.Anyway, that's my two cents worth. Almost without fail, the cars that cause all the trouble on snow covered roads in our area are overcautious people driving 4WD cars or 4WD SUVs . . . or yahoos driving their 4WD vehicles like they are invincible.

Besides the other good tips, always bring a shovel.When winter backpacking or hut tripping, I always take a small avy shovel anyway. It is permanently in my car during winter.Besides being a useful piece of gear for backcountry winter activities, it is God send if you should get stuck.I've actually used the shovel more to shovel OTHER people out who don't have this (IMO) mandatory piece of gear for driving to winter trail heads. 15-20 minutes of shoveling saves waiting for a friendly stranger to come by and shovel you out. :)Costco currently has some dirt cheap avy shovels - 2 for $20. Not marketed as such, but that is what they are.http://andrewskurka.com/2012/costco-does-it-again-two-21-oz-telescoping-aluminum-backcountry-shovels-for-20/If I didn't already have one, I'd be tempted to pick up a set. :)

What do you drive now? "68 Cutlass or a '74 VW Thing? Give us something to start with. I use to get all over Borrego off road in my "68 Mercedes 280. Depends a lot on the driver too.
It really depends on the 4wd, my wife's new 4wd Escape could not cross the road without getting stuck (or recalled for that matter) but my 9 year old Toyota 4 runner will cross the road and climb the ditch behind it ;-)
I used to have a FWD Honda Civic and with chains it was almost unstoppable. Chains can get you into, and out, of a lot of places. That said, a 4WD vehicle has a lot more clearance and that is of course the major issue with a 2WD using chains. I now have an AWD Subaru and it's a beast in the snow [with snow tires], that said, clearance can still be a limiting factor. The first time I used chains, I had been trying to get up a mountain road and I made it about 1/10th the way up in the 2WD Civic. I went back down into the valley below, bought some chains and then parked with the 4x4s at the trailhead. As you can tell, I'm a big fan, but they are no substitute for a 4x4 with chains. As others have said, it depends where you're going. A ploughed, but steep and snowy road would be OK with 2WD and chains, but for deeper snow on steeper grades, you may struggle with the gearing, clearance and lack of 4WD.
My FWD with snow tires has better stop/start traction than our Jeep. Ground clearance is an issue though. In slick situations I would rather be in the FWD.
Are you on paved roads or dirt? I concur with others, if your vehicle is plowing snow, it doesn't matter if you have chains or not. Chains are a lot cheaper than a car.
Steve did you kick out the woman to sleep with a bike? ;)
I'm planning to replace my perfectly fine Honda Accord with a brand new Subaru so that I can go snow camping. But realized that its stupidity to commit $30K for some winter happiness, went to Amazon and got myself a pair of Thule chains for the front wheels and a pair of cheap $30 chains for the rear wheels. A total of $100 and will let me make those 3-4 winter camping trips I intend to :-)
A recent story, from near Tahoe: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Sierra-ordeal-Man-dies-woman-survives-4097923.phpThey had 4WD.I agree with most of the posts above. FWD + chains is probably enough for many secondary roads to THs but we should all use common sense. Many of the crashed vehicles near Mt. Hood or Santiam Pass in Oregon are SUVs, where people assume they'll be safe at regular speeds.My worst/best car: I had an early Ford Explorer, 2-door and REAR wheel drive. This is when I lived in Boulder and I'd be white-knuckle driving on I-70 yet some VW bug would come flying past me over Vail Pass. I did several 360s around Minturn. I once got stuck in Boulder with the wheels merely sitting against the curb on 10th Street. Sigh. However, it was my first car, so I was sentimentally attached . . . .
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Snow-bound-woman-survived-on-tomatoes-4100784.php"Lane and her boyfriend, Roderick Clifton, 44, became stranded on Nov. 29 while traveling from his home in the Sacramento suburb of Citrus Heights to her home in Gardnerville, Nev. Along the way, Clifton decided to test the four-wheel drive capability of his Jeep Cherokee and drove around a locked gate on a closed dirt road, Alpine County sheriff's officials said.After traveling several miles, the vehicle got stuck in the mud and the two couldn't get it free, officials said. Clifton left the vehicle the next morning to get help. When he did not return after a couple of days, Lane left the Jeep as well. On her trek to safety, she came across his body"Don't get to confident because you have 4wd.In winter I am risk adverse when it comes to getting my car stranded or sliding around the road inside 3k lbs of steel. I like to stick to trailheads off major roads that get plowed regularly and avoid heading into the Sierra if a storm is forecast. Even that strategy sometimes fails in my 2wd sedan w/ chains. I nearly got stuck in the Mariposa Grove parking lot in Yosemite. The road was plowed but my car was in the parking lot overnight during a storm and they dont immediately plow the parking lot. CA 41 was shut down to traffic at the time because they plows couldn't keep up with the snow. It would have taken me 2 days to shovel a path out. Luckily I was saved by a kind soul with a large 4wd truck with front and rear chains who plowed a path for me to get out. I was relived to get back down the hill. I would love a Subaru but its hard to justify the purchase for the handful of trips I make to the snow each year. When it does come time to get a new car I don't know if the gas mileage tradeoffs with be worth the sacrifice for me. A new car makes all this cuben stuff seem cheap.
Just came across a head-on crash between 2 SUV's close to Timberline lodge today evening, these SUV drivers drive like maniacs due to the false sense of security the vehicles provide.
I'm surprised no-one has commented how much hassle - and how unpleasant - it can be to fit chains. Too many people buy chains but have no idea how they actually go over the tires. You're invariably wriggling around on your belly in the snow, reaching around the back of each wheel in freezing temps blindly trying to get two metal connectors to mate. It's not fun. I consider them to be my last line of defence for winter driving in the mountains and foothills of Colorado. I carry them in my vehicle all winter but hope I don't have to use them more than once or twice a year, and if I do have to, keep the mileage really low - single digits if at all possible. To me, first line of defence is proper snow tires. Not All Seasons, true winter tires that are only optimal when temps fall below 40F. Second line of defence is ground clearance. Too many AWD cars and crossover cute-utes lack the clearance for an 8" snowfall, and if the tires don't touch the ground, it's game over. Third line of defence is drivetrain. 4WD with low ratio is best for roads that aren't plowed regularly. AWD would be my next choice, but it works best in town and on the highways. Then comes FWD. Manageable, but not ideal. Take it really slow and be prepared to turn around even if you have snow tires and good ground clearance. RWD I would leave at home. None of the above counts for a damn if you don't slow down and engage your brain.
Maybe you could just rent a car and get the clearance you might need for the couple of trips you'll make. Why buy a serious piece of gear like that for something you don't even yet if like.
Front wheel drive cars w/ cables/chains will do fine on the highways up to Tahoe (80 & 50)and Yosemite (120 & 140), but I would recommend that your tires have at least 50% tread life. If you have summer tires then all I can say is good luck. All season tires are a much better choice if you're heading to the mountains regularly. Even better, switching to winter tires during the colder months. This is true for FWD, RWD and AWD. While I love my Subaru (AWD), it doesn't mean anything unless my tires are up to snuff. For me that means a set of all season (mud + snow on sidewall) that have at least 50% tread life. If you have all season or winter and encounter super slick conditions, drop a couple of PSI out of the tires (maybe 3-4 PSI). It makes a huge difference. I lived in South Lake Tahoe for a couple of years and snow tires (studless) on an AWD with reduced pressure was the standard.If you're on roads that aren't plowed (think small access road and forest service roads) all bets are off. You're on your own and if a storm hits while you're parked you'll have to get out over new snow. Not only traction but clearance becomes an issue. Many folks have been forced to leave their cars/trucks over the winter due to this situation.What car/truck do you have and what trailhead are you thinking about?
Lots of good advice from all.more thoughtsCA requires all (2 & 4 wd) to carry chains when chain controls are on. Sometimes they require them to be attached to thewheels if things are bad enough or you don't have all season tires.Practice putting on chains and make sure they fit and don't hit brake lines, fenders etc in a warm well lit place. Bring some extra links such as Lap links and pliers to close them for repairs.The larger the links, the deeper the snow you can get through. Cut down dump truck chains will get you throughsnow pushing on the grill.Bring a piece of plastic to lie on when installing chains.Buy a pair of these (polyester versions) at your hardware store and keep them with your chains to keep your hands from freezing and chapping when installing.http://www.farmandfleet.com/products/448869-wells-lamont-string-knit-gloves-12-pack.html#.UMQ2VRwgP-kShovels for sure.Don't drive around or open closed gates on forest roads.Double check your GPS against maps.Don't head out on a falling barometer.

Seersucker Men's Bathrobe
The Cool Comfort of a Cotton Seersucker Men's Bathrobe in Fresh Stripes
Seersucker Men's Bathrobe 5 5
GREAT ALL AROUND I like the color vs the standard blue/white that I always have had. The size XL is right on for me and sleeve length is good which is unusual . Has a double belt looping so one has options and doesn't have to use the under the armpit look. I also like the inner quick tie security cord which keeps the robe closed properly. The material is light and feels great ! Very comfortable overall for me. October 3, 2013
Perfect for my husband My husband and I have been looking for a lightweight robe for him. He doesn't like anything unless it is very light. This was perfect. Thanks so much. October 4, 2013
I liked the pockets on the men's robe better than the woman's. So, I ordered it for myself and absolutely LOVE it. It is cool and crisp and so very comfortable. The sleeves were a little long for me, as a women wearing a men's robe but, I just folded them up and was good to go. You won't be disappointed in this product. August 27, 2013
Hospital robe with NO BELT The XL which is supposedly for a 46 inch chest is more like a 50"!!!!!!! Came with a hospital robe inside closure and NO BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 13, 2012
Great quality and value still alive! This is the second of these Seersucker Men's Bathrobes that I have purchased for my husband. He wanted two colors! They wear and wash like a dream, just like they used to do back when I was a squab. I am always delighted with any of my purchases from The Vermont Country Store! September 12, 2012

Economic Development Agency invests in beyerdynamic Revoluto
A beyerdynamic Revoluto conference system has been installed in the headquarters of Invest NI, Northern Ireland's economic development agency. The System was installed by Niavac as part of an AV requirement.
As the economic development agency for Northern Ireland, Invest NI's role is to grow the economy by helping new and existing businesses to compete internationally and to attract new investment to Northern Ireland. Based in Bedford Street in the heart of Belfast, Invest NI's stunning headquarters boasts striking architecture with its elegant curves and glass detail. Inside the building the strong design features continue, particularly in the main boardroom which forms part of the building's apex.
The installation took place in Invest NI's rounded main boardroom. Due to the unique shape and acoustics of the room, traditional gooseneck microphones were not suitable. Stephen Briggs, Contract Manager for Serco Integrated Services who is responsible for the management of the room called in Steve Kennedy and the Niavac team, to offer up an innovative solution. Working closely with Polar Audio, Niavac came up with the ideal solution for the challenging installation, the beyerdynamic Revoluto.
Revoluto's unique microphone line array technology has seventeen integral microphone capsules. The "corridor characteristic" of the pick-up gives the user wider voice range and allows them to speak freely and maintain eye contact with their audience without any loss in audio quality. This creates a more extended pick-up pattern than traditional gooseneck microphones. In addition Revoluto's built-in speaker system gives added local user re-enforcement, without the need to be linked into the main PA speakers.
Niavac undertook a successful demonstration of the Revoluto system and subsequently designed a system to meet the specific needs of the challenging installation. The Belfast based installer incorporated twelve Revoluto delegate units and one chairman unit, whilst upgrading the existing audio system with beyerdynamic Opus UHF radio microphones.
Simon Druce, Sales Manager at Polar Audio commented, "the lack of a gooseneck microphone on the Revoluto helps to maintain the clean lines within the boardroom and gives the user the ability to not only hear clearly but see the other participants. The users can now discuss and review subject matter in a relaxed fashion, sitting back or leaning forward without any noticeable proximity effect."
Steve Kennedy, General Manager at Niavac added, "the Revoluto was a new concept to us, but after in-depth consultation with the client and a successful demonstration we knew the product was right for this installation. We are very proud to have been given the opportunity by Invest NI to undertake this project, the first of its kind in Northern Ireland and would like to thank the Polar Audio team for their support."

Beware of Phishing Scams: There have been noticeable increases in the number of suspicious e-mails claiming that the e-mail recipient has won a Lexus lottery or other promotion. Sometimes the e-mail claims that the recipient has won a new Lexus IS. In order to claim the prize, the e-mail asks that Personal Information be sent to a Hotmail™ or Yahoo™ e-mail address. Samples of these hoax e-mails can be found at this website.
This type of e-mail solicitation is known commonly as a "phishing" scam, with the primary objective being to obtain one's personal information. This information can then be utilized to steal a person's identity. For example, a "Lexus Lottery" phishing scam is often sent from Chinese (.cn), German (.de) or British (.co.uk) addresses, but can originate from anywhere and look very official even to the most savvy of Internet users. Lexus will never ask you to send passwords, login names, Social Security numbers, or other personal information through e-mail or U.S. mail, fax or text message. If you receive an e-mail or letter by U.S. mail, fax or text message from Lexus asking you to update your credit card information, do not respond: this is a phishing scam. Recipients of suspicious e-mail like this should delete the message from their inbox and, if possible, update their e-mail filter settings to block e-mails from the e-mail address being used. The Federal Trade Commission and the Antiphishing Workgroup are also good sources of information about these types of security threats and how they may be reported to the authorities.

In Sunday's New York Post, Larry
Brooks suggested that the Rangers attempt to acquire Brad Richards prior to July
1st when he'll become a free agent so they'd have exclusive rights to
negotiate a new deal with him ahead of other teams.
Brooks believes that the extra alone time with Richards
would allow the Rangers to make sure that Richards is fully healthy and to
sensibly negotiate a contract instead of panicking when Richards hits the open
Brooks believes that the Rangers might be able to pry
Richards away from Dallas with the second of the team's second round
selections, No. 57 overall.
There's a case to be made for both sides here.
On the one hand, it's incredibly obvious that the Rangers
are banking on acquiring Richards and that he is a missing piece the team
desperately needs. If the Rangers think they'd have a significant
advantage over the competition if they got Richards' rights now, that's
something they really need to consider.
On the other hand, trading for free agents' rights hasn't
been a common practice in the NHL, for the simple reason that it doesn't
necessarily accomplish a whole lot. As Brooks points out, the
Philadelphia Flyers traded for Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell back in 2007
and locked both up to long-term deals before they hit free
agency. The difference is thatPhiladelphia handed pretty big
deals to both players, probably above market value. Richards knows
that he is going to be in huge demand come July, so it makes little sense for
him to sign anywhere before he has a chance to see how high the bidding
goes. Brooks writes that since Richards is coming off a fat contract
already that he might not be looking to squeeze every dollar out of his future
team. There's a chance that's true, but it's rarely the case in
professional sports.
The draft is a crapshoot, but the Rangers have picked up
Christian Thomas, Ethan Werek, Derek Stepan, Artem Anisimov, and Mike Sauer
over the last six years. Werek was swapped for Oscar Lindberg, but
the point is that the Rangers have added some big-time impact players in the
second round of the draft recently. Unless the Rangers think trading
the pick would virtually guarantee they get Richards, it might not be a
worthwhile risk to take.
Make no mistake; the Rangers know just how much they need
Richards. They won't be topped monetarily too easily in July, so it
probably makes sense to wait. If they somehow miss out on Richards,
they might regret not trading for him, but trading for Richards' rights
guarantees nothing and could mean the loss of a valuable asset.

Available To Order (Estimated Shipping between 1-3 Working Days)
This item is to the best of our knowledge available to us from the supplier and should ship to you within the time-frame indicated. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately
Based on the novel of the same name by Murakami Ryu, Lignes is a highly unusual, avant-garde electroacoustic composition from French composer and guitarist Bruno Letort, featuring contributions from chamber ensemble Musiques Nouvelles (as conducted by Jean-Paul Dessy) and vocalists Kumi Okamoto and Klaus Blasquiz (former singer with French prog rockers Magma). "Bruno Letort is a French composer born in 1963 in Vichy. This guitarist published a series of albums on the border of jazz and rock in the early '80s (with Manu Katche, Noël Akchoté, Didier Malherbe...). His discography from the '90s contains more 'scored' music for orchestra (Pièces pour les pays baltes, 1992 ; Le Continent obscur, commissioned by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, 1998-99), his 'Fables électroniques' (2001) blends concrete/electronic sounds with a symphony orchestra. In 2004, Bruno Letort recorded a new album called 'E(a)st', the fruit of many trips to East-European countries. That same year, he became 'composer in residence' at the National Orchestra of Belarus. Bruno Letort's approach has always referred to multidisciplinarity. Witness the number of works he has composed for dance, theater, cinema, video and scenography. Closely related to Benoit Peeters and Francois Schuiten (emblematic figures of the Belgian comic strip), he composed with them L'Affaire Désombres. In 2000 he founded the Radio France label Signature which has recorded artists as diverse as Pierre Henry, Fred Frith, Hector Zazou, Elliott Sharp, Jean-Luc Godard, Luc Ferrari, Christian Fennesz, Mika Vainio, and Christian Zanési."

When I taught my first knitting class over a year ago, I decided to have a blocking demonstration. I thought it would be a good way to kill time during the second half of my class, even if everyone already knew about blocking. I was surprised when during the demo, I had everyone's rapt attention. They were hanging on my every word! Sure, they knew what blocking was, but I think showing them how easy and quick it is really surprised them.
I've long wanted to do a blocking tutorial here on the blog, and I finally got my camera out today and documented the whole process. I bet most of you already know how to block your knitting, and if you do, great! This is not meant to be The Final Word on Blocking. Rather, it's meant to give you some insight into my method.
The blocking method I am showing you is good for items knit with animal fibers (wool, alpaca, musk ox) or non-animal fibers that require hand washing. Take extra care to be super gentle when blocking delicate lace (and invest in blocking wires).
If you've never blocked anything (egads!) then this is a good place to start. After you give it a few tries, you'll see that blocking is more than just a step to skip at the end of a pattern; blocking is a magical trick that makes your knitting look really good. Like, Taylor Lautner good. I'm not kidding.
You'll need:
- A bowl or sink.
- Warm water.
- Your favorite wool wash (not Woolite).
- An absorbent, old towel.
- And of course, something knitted out of wool or another animal fiber.
Step 1: Fill your sink or bowl with warm water.
I use a bowl for smaller items like mittens and hats. The sink would take too long to fill for just a small thing. If I have a whole sweater to block I use the sink.
Step 2: Drizzle in some wool wash.
Look on the bottle of wool wash to see how much is recommended.
I have been using Kookaburra for a number of years and I love it because you don't need to rinse it out and the scent is awesome. I've also used Eucalan and Soak and they are both good. Your choice will depend on how smelly you want your finished knits to be, and overall personal preference.
Step 3: Drop your knitting in, let it soak.
Make sure the entire item is submerged, and the wool is soaking up water. Be gentle with your knitting; too much agitation will usually cause anything from slight shrinkage to downright felting. You can let your item soak for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or more. Some yarns might take longer to absorb water, so use your best judgment. I'm usually ready to move to the next step after about 15 minutes.
Some wool washes need to be rinsed out. Use water that is the same temperature as the water in your bowl. You can either use a second bowl with fresh water or gently set your item aside to fill the bowl with fresh water. After rinsing, move on to step 4.
Step 4: Remove excess water.
Do not wring. As I've said all along, be gentle! Wet wool felts, and manhandling your knitting is out of the question. I usually wrap my item up in a towel and step on it (four-year-old helper optional) to get out as much water as I can. I also will spin things for 20 seconds in my washing machine to get more water out. For this mitten, the spin cycle wasn't necessary.
I use an old, thick towel. Sometimes (as it happened with this mitten) any excess dye from the yarn will come off on the towel, so use one you don't mind getting mucked up.
Step 5: Shape and lay flat to dry.
This is, by far, the best part. When you item is wet, it has a lot of give and it will do what you want it to do. Pins or blocking wires are useful tools for lace shawls or sweater pieces. For this mitten, all I needed was to straighten out the mitten, push down the braid cast on, and make sure the body of the mitten was a uniform width. I also made sure that pretty pointed top of the mitten was as pointy as I could get it. Now to wait for the mitten to dry!
This last picture shows the blocked mitten on the left, and it's mate, still unblocked on the right. If I could show you the mittens in person, you would see the dramatic effect that blocking has had. The blocked mitten is smooth, the wool is softer, the smell of tea tree oil is intoxicating — the mitten looks finished. It makes me look like a better knitter and all I did was take the time to give it a little bath.
Although the difference between the blocked mitten and the unblocked mitten is not as glaring in the photo, I think you still could have been able to tell them apart. If you have not yet tried blocking, go for it! It just might blow you away.
(That mitten on the right did not stay unblocked for long — I couldn't stand it looking all lumpy and forlorn! I will wait for them both to dry and report back soon with more details about this great pattern.)

Leah Remini is ready to open up about her split from Scientology.
The actress will appear on the season premiere of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Monday -- where a press release promises she'll explain why she "decided to part ways with the church and how it has affected her family."
We're definitely looking forward to what she has to say, especially since she started controversy with the organization by a missing persons report for the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige after leaving the fold.
For now though, we'll have to settle with this hilarious preview clip of the future "Dancing with the Stars" contestant introducing Ellen to the WineRack Bra -- a bra that stores vino under your shirt!
Be sure to tune in Monday and check here after the show airs for the highlights from the interview.
