The Chilliwack Museum has an expansive and amazing collection, having collected objects since 1958. The entire collection can be accessed by searching online.
Chilliwack covers a vast geographical area in the eastern Fraser Valley. We collect objects and archives material that documents the history of an area that stretches from the Fraser River in the north to the United States border in the south, and from the Vedder Canal in the west to Popkum Indian reserve in the east. We preserve these collections in climate controlled buildings, recognizing our responsibility to future generations.
We also accept objects for our education collection. This collection includes objects that may have no history associated with Chilliwack, but nevertheless, show aspects of earlier lifestyles. These objects get used, mainly in school programs, and may deteriorate over time because of this use.
The Chilliwack Archives contain City of Chilliwack records, original newspapers, maps, artwork and other paper, film, and digital media that relate to the history of Chilliwack and area. These collections are widely accessed from visitors as they perform research for publications, reports, site audits, family trees, school assignments, films, or even just obtaining photographs for displays or decor.
The Archives has a library of local and relevant books relating to the history and geography of Chilliwack and area. Our library is a great place to start your research.
The Chilliwack Museum and Archives photograph collection exceeds 100,000 photographs. Our photographs are prized by community members, authors, film makers, reporters, interior designers and genealogists. We have images from the Chilliwack Progress, postcards, film and video, artwork and historic photographs from all corners of Chilliwack. Photographs are available for reproduction.

Jenny Scheinman, 'Ali Farka Touche,' Live on Soundcheck
Jenny Scheinman has put together a quartet with some big hitters. Mischief and Mayhem is made up of Scheinman on the violin, bassist Todd Sickafoose, drummer Jim Black and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline.
The band name, Mischief and Mayhem, describes the music, says Scheinman: "The excitement and invitation for things like musical ambush and surprise and pushing things a little bit beyond where the structure of the song might want to go.
Here the quartet plays, "Ali Farka Touche."

Significance and Use
Fracture toughness, KIc, is a measure of the resistance to crack extension in a brittle material. These test methods may be used for material development, material comparison, quality assessment, and characterization.
The pb and the vb fracture toughness values provide information on the fracture resistance of advanced ceramics containing large sharp cracks, while the sc fracture toughness value provides this information for small cracks comparable in size to natural fracture sources. Cracks of different sizes may be used for the sc method. If the fracture toughness values vary as a function of the crack size it can be expected that KIsc will differ from KIpb and KIvb.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the fracture toughness, KIc, determination of advanced ceramics at ambient temperature. The methods determine KIpb (precracked beam test specimen), KIsc (surface crack in flexure), and KIvb (chevron-notched beam test specimen). The fracture toughness values are determined using beam test specimens with a sharp crack. The crack is either a straight-through crack formed via bridge flexure (pb), or a semi-elliptical surface crack formed via Knoop indentation (sc), or it is formed and propagated in a chevron notch (vb), as shown in Fig. 1.
Note 1—The terms bend(ing) and flexure are synonymous in these test methods.
1.2 These test methods are applicable to materials with either flat or with rising R-curves. Differences in test procedure and analysis may cause the values from each test method to be different. For many materials, such as the silicon nitride Standard Reference Material 2100, the three methods give identical results at room temperature in ambient air.
1.3 The fracture toughness values for a material can be functions of environment, test rate and temperature. These test methods give fracture toughness values for specific conditions of environment, test rate and temperature.
1.4 These test methods are intended primarily for use with advanced ceramics which are macroscopically homogeneous. Certain whisker- or particle-reinforced ceramics may also meet the macroscopic behavior assumptions. Single crystals may also be tested.
1.5 This standard begins with a main body that provides information on fracture toughness testing in general. It is followed by annexes and appendices with specific information for the particular test methods.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Friday, May 3, 2013
You've probably heard it: that hearty, rhythmic thwop-thwop-thwop that rouses you from your early morning dreams. Or you may have noticed a brownish-dull haze hanging in the skies.
Frost fans have been whirring this week and last, fighting early morning frosts that threaten the blossoms for this year's harvest. Alongside the spinning blades lies another weapon of the land-warriors; the smudge pot.
Blossoms are tender and frost damage can reduce fruit yield. Orchardists depend upon an array of tools and interventions to defend their tender, flowering wards. Local residents don't often realize the extent of the battle underway in the farms throughout the Hood River valley.
In an effort to keep blossoms warm enough to set fruit, farmers use the smudge pots to burn diesel fuel along tree rows.
While old-fashioned pots do pose air quality concerns for farmers and valley residents, some orchardists are now moving to natural gas systems when finances allow, taking advantage of cleaner burning fuel.
Doubling Hood River farmer worries this season, according to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, the last two weeks in Hood River were mostly dry but ended with rain showers on April 28. Those rains, combined with current warming temperatures, are posing some risk of increased fire blight.
D'Anjou pears, Red Delicious apples, Bing cherries and Pinot noir grapes were predominantly into late bloom or post bloom stages during the weather events, with early cherries probably taking the hardest hit. Official damage estimates should be issued by May 10.
According to an early estimate, Oregon Sweet Cherry Commission Administrator Dana Branson said overall cherry loss so far in Hood River is about 5 to 10 percent. If the weather holds steady, that will stay at within normal ranges for annual frost losses, and remain relatively insignificant.

Susie has been swimming as a masters swimmer since 2000. First with the Rolling Hills Mud Sharks and now with the Marin Pirates Masters. Her professional career was as a registered dietitian. She focused on sports nutrition as well as hyperlipidemia. She spent most of her career teaching and leading seminars on nutrition. She worked for Covert Bailey, the author of Fit or Fat and then for "Jazzercise" as their nutritionist. So the transition to teaching about her real love, swimming, was easy.
Susie is married, has a daughter currently in college and two shih tzu's that keep her walking on a daily basis. She recently walked 60 miles in three days for "The 3-day Walk" for the Susan G Komen for the Cure. When she is not coaching, or swimming, you may see her walking!

Also Called: St. Joseph Cream Puffs
A traditional Italian festive food for St. Joseph's Day is St. Joseph's Sfinge, or St. Joseph's Cream Puffs. Although seemingly difficult, these are a dramatic show in the oven for the children and surprisingly simple to make. No St. Joseph's Table or Altar would be complete without this dessert.
Boil water and butter. Add flour and salt. Keep stirring until mixture leaves side of pan or forms a ball in the center. Cool. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add sugar and grated peel. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough every three inches on a greased cookie sheet, or fill muffin tins half full. Bake in a hot oven (400°) for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°, and continue baking until light brown. Remove from oven. Open puff in the center of top to let steam escape. Cool and fill with cream filling:
Filling: Mix cottage cheese with chocolate and orange rind. Add flavoring, milk and sugar to taste. Beat until smooth and custard-like. Fill puffs. Chill until ready to use. Before serving, top with cherry and orange peel. This recipe makes about 18 cream puffs.Recipe Source: Cooking for Christ by Florence Berger, National Catholic Rural Life Conference, 4625 Beaver Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50310, 1949, 1999

PAWTUCKET — Baseball scouts usually sit in the best seats minor league stadiums have to offer, a few rows behind home plate. They come armed with the tools of their trade – radar guns, stopwatches and "cheat sheets" that record the data of players down on the field.
"The radar gun is mainly used to measure the speed of pitches," Chicago White Sox scout Gary Pellant was saying on Sunday afternoon at McCoy Stadium. "I've seen some scouts use them on infielders, to see how strong their arms are. Amateur scouts do that because they watch a lot of high school players who change positions."
The stopwatch has several uses for a baseball scout.
"The obvious use is to time a runner from home to first base," Pellant said. "We also use the stop watch to time a catcher's 'pop time' – how fast he can make his throw to second base after receiving a pitch. Two seconds flat and below is what you're looking for. Then there is the pitcher's delivery. A good time for a pitcher is 1.4 seconds to home plate.
"The average runner goes from first to second in 3.4 seconds so it's really the pitcher who controls whether the catcher can throw a base stealer out," Pellant added. "If the pitcher is 1.5 or 1.6 seconds to the plate, that makes it hard on the catcher."
Pro baseball scouts gather information on minor league players from other organizations, data that goes into a computer base in the major league team's baseball operations office. They differ from amateur scouts who are located regionally and scout local high schools and colleges for talented players.
"I might scout 10 or 12 other organizations during the season," Pellant said. "I see a lot of the Red Sox. Everything we see is recorded on my 'cheat sheet' and put into the data base. Then we will have conference calls and meetings as the general manager and his staff talk about players who might be available, players we might want to trade for during the season or in the offseason."
Pellant's "cheat sheet" is a four-page document that allows room to evaluate each player on the field in a variety of categories.
"We rate position players on their hitting, power, arm strength, arm accuracy and fielding," Pellant said, showing the various categories on his sheet. "We have a grading system of 20 to 80 where 50 is the average overall score for a player. The higher the number, the better the player."
"Baseball is all I ever wanted to do," Pellant said, explaining how he became a scout. "I grew up in California and was undrafted out of high school. I started playing ball in an independent league and was picked up by Seattle. I played seven years in the minor leagues."
A quick google search of Pellant's name reveals that he was one of two professional baseball players ever to homer from both sides of the plate in the same inning.
"I think I was the first," Pellant said with a smile. He is in his mid-50s now with gray whiskers on his chin. Physically, he still has the solid frame that carried him through seven years in the minor leagues before his time ran out.
"Baseball quit me," he said without remorse. "I was fortunate enough to get an offer to join Seattle's player development department. They asked me if I was interested. Hal Keller had been their farm director and he had an assistant under him. Hal got promoted to general manager and his assistant got bumped up. I moved into the assistant's job. A few years later, they had a regime change in Seattle. Larry Himes became the general manager and he brought in his own people. I was out of a job."
Pellant, who had also managed Seattle's Bellingham short-season minor league team for two years, landed on his feet with the White Sox.
"They needed a scout in the Northwest and that's how I got started with Chicago," said Pellant, who came into contact with Rhode Island native Roland Hemond, a former White Sox general manager and long-time advisor to current GM Ken Williams.
"Roland would always tell me he was from Rhode Island," Pellant said.
Pellant now lives in Arizona with his wife. They have two sons and a daughter ranging in age from 21 to 32. His youngest son is heading to Ohio State on a baseball scholarship.
A professional baseball scout's life is one of airports, hotels, rental cars and ballparks.
"I've been home 10 days since the season started," Pellant said. "I always say that a scout's life is the reverse of a teacher's life. Scouts get the winters off and work all summer. You have to find a balance between baseball and your family."
Pellant has never looked back. Baseball is his life.
"The nice thing about baseball is you can come to the ballpark and meet people," he said. "I can meet scouts from other organizations or fans sitting next to us. Last week, I was sitting next to a family and one of the children was very interested in my radar gun so I told him my arm was tired and let him work the gun for me."
Pellant actually enjoys the travel aspects of his job.
"You get to see a lot of the country," he admitted. "I can spend a few days in a town like Pawtucket and see how people live. The fans in New England are real diehards. It's great to come here and see how knowledgeable the fans are. And they will cheer for the other team when a guy makes a good play."
In the end, it is the challenge of scouting that keeps Pellant on his toes as he moves from city to city during the course of a baseball season.
"It's interesting," he said. "A group of scouts can be sitting behind the home plate screen, looking at the same game, and we might each have a different opinion on a player, or on some aspect of that player's game. Each of us is scouting for an organization that might be profiling players, looking for players who play certain positions."
And there are always the unheralded minor leaguers who hope the scouts see something in them, even after five or six seasons in pro baseball.
"We call them 'gut-feel' players," Pellant admitted. "You figure if a player stays in the league for a long time, it might be because some guys 'get it' faster than others. But one day, the 'gut-feel' player starts to get it and the scouts may notice him. I signed a kid named Brendan Donnelly who spent a long time in the minors and then became a good relief pitcher in the big leagues with the Angels.
"You take a kid like Daniel Nava here in Pawtucket," Pellant added. "He played independent ball before he got signed by Boston to play in the minor leagues. And then last year he got a chance to play in the big leagues and he hit a few home runs right away. Now he's back in the minors but he has done something a lot of minor leaguers never do. He went to the big leagues. Getting there is one thing, though. Staying there is quite another."
Pellant pulls out his "cheat sheet" for one last lesson about scouting professional ball players.
"See these two categories," he said, pointing to columns labeled P and F. "The P stands for present. That's easy. We know this. The F stands for the future. You need a crystal ball to be able to understand the future. That's why scouting is so difficult a job."

Location-based search service Yelp has released a new iOS client with a bunch of improvements. The app now autocompletes your queries, so you don't have to type complex words a second time, and connects you to actual business owners.
Yelp, which also powers Apple's Siri, is available as a free standalone app for iPhone and iPad. It enables you to "search for places to eat, shop, drink, relax and play then read reviews from an active community of locals in the know," as the developers put it.
In version 6.4, the search location autocompletes as you type, which means "you no longer need to remember how to correctly spell 'Albuquerque'," according to Yelp.
For iPhone users only, the app offers information about business specialties and history directly from the owner. People who own a business indexed by Yelp are encouraged to access biz.yelp.com and provide some details.
The iPhone version also features some updated reviews, says the changelog. All this and the usual bag of fixes awaits at the link below.

As of Thursday, February 14, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
EDITOR'S NOTE: Film Fans features local residents reviewing the movie of the week: "Side Effects." Want to be a film fan? Email email@example.com.
2.5 stars out of 4 stars
Steven Soderbergh's latest directorial offering is "Side Effects," a psychological thriller. Rooney Mara, in an understated performance, portrays Emily, the principal character, who claims to be suffering from depression. Channing Tatum has a supporting role as Emily's husband, who is newly released from jail after serving time for insider trading. Jude Law turns in a rather lifeless and snoozy portrayal of Emily's doctor. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a sultry-but-shifty therapist from Emily's past.
"Side Effects" uses a combination of long close-ups on the principal actors contrasted with a jittery hand-held camera style in some of the outdoor scenes. The score by Thomas Newman is atmospheric, alternating bells and drums with a distorted acoustic guitar. The resulting music is almost electronic at times, and complements the sensual, mysterious quality of the movie.
After an effective and jarring opening scene, it takes a long time for the plot to develop. When things finally begin to unfold, the movie hits its stride and becomes an unpredictable roller coaster ride, with twists and turns that keep the viewer guessing as to what could happen next. "Side Effects" is well worth a matinee or a rental, but probably not worthy of a full-price admission. -- Paul Tate, Sugar Hill
3 stars out of 4 stars
I really enjoyed this movie. Much like a roller coaster ride, it starts out a little slow, then gradually picks up speed and builds anticipation for what's coming, then pays off in a big way keeping you on the edge of your seat. There are enough twists and turns to keep you curious about what will happen next, and just when you think you have it figured out, it turns another corner and the ride continues.
I sincerely hope that this is not Steven Soderbergh's last film, as he has insinuated. He draws performances from some already accomplished actors like no one can, and tells a story so effectively that it is practically impossible to resist staying involved, much like Alfred Hitchcock and a few others.
By now, I suppose the story here is fairly well known; however, the performances by Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rooney Mara are the icing on the cake. Mara is excellent and displays another level to her versatility, skillfully keeping you involved with what she is feeling with her looks and expressions, rather than with overwhelming dialog. But it's Law who steals the show as he leads you along with what he's doing while making you wonder what he may be up to next, with an unexpected twist at the end that you will not see coming.
Very good acting and a fun ride for any fan of mystery and suspense, this is definitely one not to miss, and definitely not one for the kids.
-- Steve Kalberg, Lawrenceville
3.5 stars out of 4 stars
The movie "Side Effects" is a thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh. It stars Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Channing Tatum. Before seeing the movie, I watched the trailer for this and like all trailers should be, it didn't tell me anything about the movie except that Mara's character who is very depressed takes a drug prescribed by her therapist, Law, and it has side effects.
This movie I think is the best film release so far this year. It is extremely well written and well-acted. The dialogue is so interesting and the characters become so fascinating that it does become faster-paced toward the end. This is definitely a film lover's movie and is for someone who appreciates good dialogue and amazing cinematography captured always so well by Soderbergh. Mara and Law played both of their parts so well they made me feel for their characters in the situations that they were in. The only objection I have to this movie is that Tatum's character was not explained very well and would have made the movie a little bit better and easier to understand. Overall, I definitely recommend seeing it if you haven't already. -- Brittany Wygladalski, Sugar Hill

The climate blogosphere hasn't been at its most active this
week. So we thought we'd use the opportunity to put down our top
six (or seven) most useful climate resources on the web.
The Daily Climate
The US-based Daily Climate says that it
"works to increase public understanding
of climate disruption, including its scope and scale, potential
solutions and the political processes that impede or advance
The site aggregates daily news across the political spectrum on
climate change "from center right to center left" as well as
undertaking its own reporting. It offers a free daily news summary,
which is well worth signing up to (here).
Yale e360
Digest/ Science
Want to know what the long-term implications of the Texas
drought are? Or why
polar dinosaur tracks are important? These are the two
best sites we've found for accurate, accessible summaries of the
latest research papers in climate science. Science Daily provides
expanded coverage of scientific press releases, Yale w360 does more
in-depth discussions.
IPCC Fourth Assessment Report
It may not be the most exciting read - and as it was produced
back in 2007, there's newer scientific research around. But until
they publish their Fifth Assessment in 2014, the IPCC's 'AR4' is
still the most authoritative presentation of the scientific
consensus on different aspects of climate change and its impacts.
The full reports are pretty indigestible, but
individual issue-specific web pages are accessible enough. To
get the best results, use a Google search of the site, rather than
searching on the site itself.
Skeptical Science
Started by Australian John Cook with the intention of "get[ting]
skeptical about global warming scepticism", Skeptical Science has
recently been expanding in scope and profile. It now has a full team of
(volunteer) writers and regularly features guest articles
from climate scientists. Key pages include
links to scientific rebuttals to every skeptic argument you
could ever think of, "the 10
indicators of global warming" and the excellent climate
Climate Progress/
Think Progress
Joe Romm's US-based liberal blog was recently amalgamated into
its parent site, Think Progress. This didn't signal its demise -
Climate Progress continues to blat out the
longest and angriest headlines on the climate science
blogosphere. Romm is a Washington insider with great connections to
scientists and frequently catches the headlines. CP is a compelling
(and occasionally sensationalist) view from the heart of the heated
US energy and climate debate. Romm's
post on the Royal Society "4 Degrees" special issue journal is
a good place to start.
Bishop Hill
Want to understand climate skeptics better? Read their blogs.
Bishop Hill is the main staging post for UK skeptics. It is run by
Andrew Montford, author of "The
Hockey Stick Illusion" and of the GWPF's "review of
reviews" of the CRU email hack. The site posts nearly all the
main recent skeptic talking points, and even if you don't class
yourself as a climate skeptic, it's a consistently entertaining
read with useful coverage of the UK climate policy debate from a
right-wing climate skeptic perspective.

Nobody Does it Better
October 24, 2008
Howard Husock
In a building that once housed a small appliance-repair business just outside of the New Orleans city limits, Zack Rosenburg and Liz McCartney lead an effort that some (including the local United Way) consider the most effective home-rebuilding program in the area. The St. Bernard Project's combination office and warehouse is a buzzing crossroads where hipster college students work with volunteering evangelicals from around the country and local residents, plotting how to get the best deals on plumbing and electrical supplies. They send out work crews (more than 7,000 volunteers to date) to help rebuild homes owned by people who can't afford to repair them. Three years after Hurricane Katrina struck, some families are still living in government trailers in their own front yards.
The St. Bernard Project builds a home in New Orleans.
An organization that wasn't even imagined before the levees broke now has a $2.3 million annual budget almost entirely drawn from small, tax-deductible donations, and it has already rebuiltat just $12,000 eachmore than 150 of the small ranch-style houses that line the side streets around blue-collar St. Bernard's parish.
Mr. Rosenburg and Ms. McCartney exemplify a new breed, the social entrepreneur. Such founders of nonprofit organizations combine social purpose and business acumen. The two gave up careers in Washington (he as a criminal defense lawyer, she as the leader of an education nonprofit) to start the St. Bernard Projectwith nothing in the bank, at first, but their own and their families' money. It's the type of story that wins praise from Republicans and Democrats alike. Both President Bush in his 2007 State of the Union address and Bill Clinton in his 2007 book "Giving" had special praise for the social entrepreneur. Yet the St. Bernard Projectalong with an untold number of similarly effective nonprofit start-upscould find itself starved for financial support, thanks to an expected congressional re-examination of the charitable tax deduction, which in 2009 is expected to total about $32 billion.
The essence of the looming discussion: Should the charitable tax deduction be reserved only for those organizations that can show they are directly serving, in the phrase of Rep. Xavier Becerra (D., Calif.), "the poor and disadvantaged"? The congressman, a member of the tax-code-writing House Ways and Means Committee, has also expressed "intense concern" about what he views as the low level of racial and ethnic diversity within organizations supported by charitable contributions.
As he told Nonprofit Quarterly: "You will see a correlation between those that are diverse and those that are doing a good job of reaching those in need." Then he explained his economic logic: "I start off with the proposition that if you're getting a tax subsidy, another taxpayer must make up for what you're not paying. That subsidy should serve a good purpose... Statistics I've seen suggest that only one in every 10 dollars are serving poor people or disadvantaged people. I have to wonder where the other nine are going."
Clearly, Rep. Becerraand he is not the only politician voicing such sentimentswould like to attach strings to the charitable deduction, requiring organizations to conform to racial or economic quotas. But such a policy could well undermine the efforts of those offering direct help to people in need.
The St. Bernard Project is a case in point. On paper it might well fail a number of Rep. Becerra's implied tests. Its clienteletruckdrivers, fishermen, sugar-refinery workersare neither unemployed nor technically poor. All, by definition, own a significant asseta home that needs repair. Both clients and staff, moreover, are predominantly whiteSt. Bernard's is a big step up the economic ladder from the adjoining Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, a place much poorer and blacker and more closely associated with the suffering from Katrina. But there is a preventive aspect to a lot of charity. As Mr. Rosenburg notes of the St. Bernard Project: "If we didn't address the needs we see here, our people would quickly become the poorest of the poor."
If the IRS begins micromanaging the charitable tax deduction, it is hard to know where it will stop. How long would it take for the IRS to deny the incorporation of a new nonprofit on the grounds that a similar one is already serving a given area? The St. Bernard Project was far from the first home-rebuilding effort in greater New Orleans. Yet it has found its way clear to helping many who couldn't qualify for government assistancebecause it can operate with a discretion that the government inevitably lacks. "We understand some people had to get out without thinking about grabbing their gas bill," says Mr. Rosenburg, referring to a famous FEMA prerequisite for aid. Reporting details of day-to-day operations to the IRS would make him, in effect, a government subcontractor, not the role for which he and other social entrepreneurs sign up. Even a program doing the sort of work that Rep. Becerra favors might, in other words, have no easy time proving it.
We are in the midst of an explosion of new organizations that target problems government is either failing to address or addressing badly. Boston's Beacon Hill Village establishes mutual-aid systems that allow elderly people who have a range of incomes to stay in their homes. The Washington-based Violence-Free Zone program provides mentors for the most violence-prone students in low-performing schoolsso that other students can get on with learning. In New York, the Girls Education and Mentoring Service tries to break the hold of pimps on teenage prostitutes. The Career and Culinary Arts Program tries to make up for the decline in effective vocational education by giving budding chefs from modest backgrounds the training and internships they need. These and many other programs conceived by social entrepreneurs have begun to spread across the country, with little or no help from the government. Let's hope the government can manage to stay out of their way.

In February, Bishop William Morris of Toowomba, in Australia, announced that he had no intention of backing off his contention that the Catholic Church should re-open discussion about the possibility of ordaining women as priests. He would "continue to fight for what I believe is the truth," he insisted, no matter what the "temple police" might say. Just a few days later Bishop Morris felt compelled to say that he wasn't worried that the Vatican would remove him from his episcopal assignment.
Last Thursday, June 4, the Vatican released the terse notice that Pope Benedict had held a private audience with Archbishop Philip Edward Wilson of Adelaide, Australia, president of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference, accompanied by Bishop William Martin Morris of Toowoomba, Australia.
At the age of 65, Bishop Morris is nowhere near mandatory retirement.

where can I get the pattern? This would be perfect my Nephew's Bedroom. We just painted all the walls like the Marion games.
Do you have directions that you share for this? My son wants one for his wedding anniversary, and I would do anything I can for him!
Dellora Wesemann
Hi, I think your afghan came out wonderful! i am currently crocheting a 'LAKERS' afghan and i hope it comes out good. But my brother wants a ''kings'' afghan, would you know how i could find a pattern to do that?
This is fantastic! The images are incredibly clear. What did you brother say when he saw it?
Just amazing! I would never have the patience to make an afghan like that...too cool!
Ha-Ha I love it! My brother is a Mario fan as well. And this is so detailed it looks like it came straight from the game. Incredible!
Your work is beautiful! My daughter-in-law called and asked me if I could find a pattern and make my soon to be grandson a super mario afghan. Can you advise if this is your pattern or did you order it from someone. I would love to purchase the pattern to make one. Thank you! Ej Towler
Hello there!
I know this post is old but can you adivse if youreceived the pattern? Ej
It took some searching but I found the graphs for a mario blanket here:
If you've ever done any afghan graph crocheting (tunisian or single crochet) you could lay out these graphs to come up with your design. There are programs that can do this for you. If you want a written pattern, you'd have to then do a row count. If you are not familiar with this type of crocheting, visit this website:
wow, fabulous!!!!
I would LOVE to recreate this project however, I am a hopeless crocheter without a pattern. Any change you could help me write one from this project?
The MoEZ website I listed above has people that write out patterns. Just post there and I'm sure you'll get the help you need.
Thanks! A little more careful reading would have helped in the beginning, wouldn't it? Still a beautiful job!
excellent work! a great idea! did you use some fabric on the back of the carpet to be more rigid? looking forward for the other ones you will make!

Storm damage reaches along Kapoho BayUPDATED 6:14 PM HST Aug 12, 2014
Storm damage on the Big Island reaches along the coastline in Kapoho and some waterfront homes have been hit hard.Video Transcript
new video from the Big Island coastline in Kapoho... And the damage there is stunning.. Some waterfront homes have been hit, and hit hard! Let's get you live to the Big Island ... KITV4's Cam Tran is standing by... Cam tell us what you've seen today... This is some of the worst devastation we've seen. It's hard because many of the roads getting into Kapoho, are blocked off so it's damage that many people have not seen until now. Take a look at this, these are homes that were along the shore front in Vacationland . Iselle's strong storm surge knocked this house off its foundation and moved it 30 feet away into the backyard. So the foundation is literally separated from the house and the rest of the house now lies is in the pond. And take a look at the damage to this home where the surf knocked down the roof and walls in the back bedroom. The bed is now exposed to the elements . These houses took a beating from Iselle's pounding surf and for some of the residents it is a heartbreaking loss. HARTLEY PHILLIPS: HOME DESTROYED BY ISELLE 45;:45 WE HAVE FIVE HOUSES HERE AND ONLY ONE UNSCATHED THIS ONE WHAS THE MOST DAMAGE HERE, WER'E STANDING IN THE FOUNDATION. OUR HOUSE OVER THERE, USED TO BE A NAD IT FLOATED OVER THE AEROBIC SEPTIC SYSTEM THE THING THAT HAS A BIG SPLINTER IN IT.. LAUGHS The homeowner says he doesn't have insurance so he literally has to rebuild everything himself. On top of losing their homes these homeowners have to worry about looting. Neighbors here tell me they have seen suspicious cars in the area and Some neighobrs told me they had items stolen from their home. That's why the national guard which is all gathered here, expected to sent out troops to go door to door ane make sure the neighborhoods are safe. Reporting live from Pahoa, CT, KITV 4 News. Tonight 68-HUNDRED people remain without power

Health Tips: Arthritis?
July 1st, 2013
Those of us who played high school sports remember our coaches giving us one iconic and sometimes ill-advised piece of medical advice: "Just walk it off." It's common (and understandable) for people dealing with osteoarthritis to avoid exercise—it hurts, after all. But, according to Harvard Medical School, exercise programs help arthritis sufferers increase range of motion in arthritic joints, strengthen muscles, build endurance, and improve balance. "If exercise was a newly developed medicine, it would be a blockbuster," says Robert H. Shmerling, MD. "It has an excellent safety profile, and enormous benefits for people with arthritis, heart disease, and a long and growing list of other health problems."

Following the launch of a preview flavor of Office 2013 last week, Microsoft made available for testing the preview of its new Office Web Apps on SkyDrive and Office 365 Preview.
The new launch provides users with the possibility to create, view or edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote documents right from their Internet browser, without even having Office installed on their computers.
Those who have already taken advantage of what Microsoft's Office Web Apps has to offer to them before will enjoy a range of new capabilities, along with a brand new look for the preview flavor of the software, brought in line with the aforementioned Office 2013.
Mike Morton, Group Program Manager for the Office Web Applications team at Microsoft, explains in a blog post the main principles behind the new Office Web Apps:
- Anywhere Access – People should be able to access Office documents from any device with a Web browser. This means supporting standards (e.g. HTML) and ensuring compatibility across a wide range of devices.
- "Fidelity" with Office – Office documents should be displayed in the browser as the author intended. The Office Web Apps should preserve all edits and content, even when they don't support all of the features of Office on the desktop.
- Collaboration and Sharing – It should be very easy to share and work with other people. People can collaborate with anyone without having to worry about what software or device they are using.
The first version of the Office Web Apps landed in June 2010, and has registered quite a success among users, Microsoft reports.
Over 50 million people have accessed and used the software / service each month lately, many of which also provided feedback on their experience, so that improvements could be made.
The new flavor of the Office Web Apps packs many of these enhancements, while leaving the aforementioned principles untouched.
According to Mike Morton, the latest version of these web apps represents the most important update Microsoft ever made to the service.
Some of the main enhancements in the new release include Improved Authoring, support for touch (which makes the Office Web Apps easier to use on Windows 8-based tablets), support for co-authoring, and better performance.
Users interested in taking the new software for a spin can do so either through heading to SkyDrive via this link, or through participating into the Office 365 Preview on this page.

I think I've said this in the past, and hope it makes the point again.Bear spray for backpacking and her for kayaking around Admiralty Island, which has the largest concentration of Brown Bears in the world.I had a carry permit when I lived in New York, don't need one in Alaska because we can carry without a permit.
Edited by Umnak on 08/31/2011 14:25:05 MDT.
Finally, a good light weight response. :0
"Nonetheless, despite my thoughts on all of that, I rarely carry a gun- because when I evaluate the risk I find it to be so very low. Bear spray IS probably more effective for bears, unless you carry a high-powered rifle or shotgun slugs or something, and those are simply too heavy. (I did carry a .45-70 on my Alaska trip a while ago- because all of the locals warned me that I should. And I didn't see a single grizzly.) No HANDGUN is going to be remotely reliable in stopping a charging grizzly- I don't care what magnum round you're considering- because shot placement is just too difficult. Even PEOPLE who are shot almost never drop dead immediately, contrary to Hollywood. Frankly, if you MUST use a handgun against a bear a high-capacity automatic might be better than the magnum- that's what the rangers often end up using on the bears when they must put one down and a rifle isn't available. More shots = better chance of hitting something vital. I've seen footage of a grizzly being shot behind the shoulder TWICE by a .300 Weatherby Magnum and still fighting, so do you really think your .44 magnum is going to stop one? For that matter, we don't have grizzlies in Colorado. We also don't have the pot-grower problems in Colorado that you all have in California, nor do we have the coyote and Mexican mafia problems of the border states, all of which I think is just a tad overblown, anyway."Dean-For arguments sake-Here is an old paper by USFS on firearms (more correctly cartridges, as the resultswere more a factor of bullet construction and loading than caliber).www.fs.fed.us/pnw/pubs/gtr152Note how one of the 44 mag revolver loads has similar penetration to yourmentioned .300 Weatherby rifle and even better than your 45/70 and one of the 375 H&H rifle loads?Even an old 45 colt six shooter beats 'em.In brown bear attacks I have read about where handguns were used to stop the attacks,the person was already in the bear's grasp. A rifle may not have been able to bebrought to "bear". Seems a one handed option (spray?) would be preferred.
"@ Randy Nelson, (rlnunix)In a car, I wear a seat belt, and the car has air bags. I have never needed either to save my life, but I still use the seat belt.Surprisingly, I have not had a need to use my trail first aid kit in over 20 years, but if I get injured, I carry a kit to mitigate the risk of further serious injury.When stealth camping with a buddy, I leave the hardware at home, but there is increased risk when solo and far away from the busy trail crowds."@RodneyOndaRockThe point I was making about the helmet was that it was extra protection. People still get killed from head injuries in car wrecks even with seat belts and air bags. If you're trying to minimize your odds of being killed, a helmet in a car is a better bet than a gun in the backcountry. That is surprising about the first aid kit. I used mine on Saturday for myself (got pretty scraped up) and on Sunday for somebody else. Most of my trips are solo. I don't change anything either way. And I don't feel any more vulnerable than going with others. (Actually, I don't feel vulnerable at all.) I still bring my normal kit when going with others and I don't add a gun when going alone. I just don't see the need here in Colorado. But I didn't when I lived in SoCal either. I do see people with bear spray and bear bells occasionally here. When I ask where they're from, they're never from Colorado. They're on vacation and they've heard where there are bears you need that stuff. But you don't here.The scariest animal I've encountered recently was a squirrel in Zion last weekend. We were on a paved trail after coming out of the Narrows and he was running along with a lollipop in his mouth. Still in the wrapper. It took 2 of us to take it away from him using walking sticks. He was p!ssed! Kept looking over my shoulder to make sure the little bugger didn't run up behind me and bite me in the ankle. Give me Bubonic Plague or something. Now if somebody comes up with some portable, lightweight, lightning protection, THAT I'll carry!Bottom line for me is: Whatever works for you. It's your kit.

I am also a Scout Master. I am not an experienced Hiker like many of you here. BUT I have met experienced Scoutmasters/hikers that go where there are Black, Brown and even Grizzleys. It has been told to me various times that the weapon of choice is not a handgun but a 12 gauge Stainless Mossberg Cruiser with a pistol grip or folding stock. It seems the person who posted their girlfriend or wife with the same weapon in a previous post has the same opinion.As most gun lovers will tell you " Its better to have a gun and not need it, then to need a gun and not have it"If I was going into Bear territory...I would STRONGLY consider it. ernie the eyeball
Rog wrote, "....Holy cr*p! 3 grand for a popgun.I can fill myself out with nice nosh and do several months backpacking for that."Or hire a bodyguard-- one that is a little slower so the bear can catch up to him first :)
The first time I ever spent the night outdoors in the wilderness (not at a campground)I was afraid of bears and so brought a 12ga shotgun (Catskills, NY, mild concentration of black bears). The next morning I realized it was unnecessary and way too heavy to carry regularly. So, I no longer carry any gun while backpacking. Unless, of course, it's hunting season in which case I'll either bring the .22 or the shotgun for small game. I deal with the extra weight because during hunting season I want to go hunting as well as backpack. I often get dirty looks from yuppy types on the trail, but they can suck it. Point is, at least around here, a gun for bear defense is not necessary, because bears are pretty rare and will stay away, but on almost all NY state land it is legal to carry a long gun (rifle or shotgun) at any time without any kind of special permission, and of course a pistol with the proper licenses, and so, if you want to carry, carry. Forget other, freedom hating, people's desire to stop you from doing something and do what you want. Just be aware of the laws for your own sake, cause the world's biggest gang comes down hard on firearms scofflaws.Plus my dog always carries a .45 when we backpack so the whole thing is irrelevant.

"Forget other, freedom hating, people's desire to stop you from doing something and do what you want."Yawn.You are on a light/ultralight backpacking forum, though maybe you didn't know that since yer new here.
There's bears and then there's BEARS.This little pup chased a fat Tahoe black bear out of the yard. She weighed all of 29 lbs.The bear looked to weigh as much as a smart car.

That's not relevant. People aren't just saying don't carry cause it's too heavy. They have a plethora of reasons, and some of them are related to simply not liking guns.
I admit I haven't read all of this (most recent) gun thread, but I doubt there's a whole lot of "i hate your gun-toting freedom!" talk in anyone's posts above.so it get's a big fat YAWN from me.(excuse me while i pack my freedom satchel with freedom food and freedom water and my freedom shelter and go freedom walking.)
@Ernie - Shotgun? Might as well be really prepared then. Bring a pistol too for close-in work, cleaning kits for both, and wear your body armor/helmet constantly (as it simply won't do if the bad guys get the first shot and take you out). Night vision goggles as not to shoot a skunk at night next to your tent instead of a killer bear. Regular goggles for snowstorms and sandstorms, too. "Cool guy" glasses with different interchangeble lenses for changing light conditions. Also pack a GPS unit plus a PLB, satellite phone, some police tape (once the bad guys are taken out - hopefully- the crime scene must be secure), strobe markers for marking locations at night - makes the law enforcers/rescue team's job easier to find you at night, a couple smoke grenades for marking during the day, some maritime flares, leather gloves, climber's harness (in case you need a helicopter extraction is needed but there's no landing pad), crampons, snowshoes (could snow), full climbing rack, 200' of rope, some SAM splints, a double wall tent, synthetic sleeping bag, full-length Downmat 7 (will really need it hauling this kit), 3 sets of clothes, 200 wt fleece jacket (w/shoulder reinforcements), fleece pants, full rain suit, 10 liters of water (with filter and chemicals), a bunch of food, the 10 essentials plus giant first aid kit (all bombproof), a crowbar (hey, you never know) and a big 8000 cu inch pack from Mystery Ranch to carry it all. Plus, being on BPL...make sure you wear Keds with the above. (PS - don't forget to cut the tongue out of the Keds to shave a couple oz's)(PPS - No toilet paper)

@ Dave"I admit I haven't read all of this (most recent) gun thread, but I doubt there's a whole lot of "i hate your gun-toting freedom!" talk in anyone's posts above."Just a lot of down the nose sarcasm. Hi. My name is Fred, and apparently I'm a dumbass.
we have folks on this site that deal with bears on a routine basis as part of their vocation; we have folks on this site that routinely hike in areas of dense grizzly populations; we have folks on this site that carry a weapon daily as part of their vocation; we have plenty of folks on this site that are very serious hunters who fully subscribe to UL theories- feel free to dismiss all of their advice and instead carry a 10 + lb short barreled Mossberg so your not plucked out of your tent by a bear, lion or the boogey man
I think I'll leave the Casull at home and pack my higher-caliber keyboard.EDIT: It's lighter anyway.

@ RogWhy are you arguing with me? Out of principle? I AGREE with you, you dizzy limey! :) So note the date- it must be an auspicious one. But I do think that you underestimate the human ability to anticipate danger. I'm generally not concerned about common criminals, anyway- I'm worried about crazies and morons. But I still almost never carry a gun. I mean literally maybe once or twice a year I'll cart one along, including both hiking or just about town. (Present circumstances excepted, of course. I'm never far from my M9 nowadays...)Sorry it took me so long to respond, by the way- busy.@ David OlsenPage Not Found.But, do you really want to debate terminal ballistics with me? An Army trauma surgeon? Bold. :)I don't want to sound like I'm ridiculing your opinion, but I'm sorry, a .44 magnum is NOT an equivalent stopper to a .300 Weatherby magnum. Mere depth of penetration isn't all. It is an important MINIMAL requirement, but it is not everything. Certainly a bullet has to penetrate deep enough to reach a vital structure- the FBI demonstrated that. However, almost any rifle round does significantly more damage than almost any pistol round including the beloved .44 Magnum, mostly due to the creation of temporary cavities from the higher-velocity projectile. (But I will certainly agree that terminal ballistics is a VERY complex subject.) I recommend "Ballistic, Blast, and Burn Injuries" which is published by the Borden Institute. Granted it was written quite a while ago, but it is a pretty good overview of most of the relevant studies. It can be hard to find- kind of a niche subject- but I think it is online at:http://www.bordeninstitute.army.mil/published_volumes/conventional_warfare/conventional_warfare.htmlIf you get through that one and want some more I can make other recommendations.Not to mention that if your data says that a .44 Magnum penetrates deeper than a .45-70 my fist instinct is NOT to say "Huh, the .44 Magnum penetrates deeper." My FIRST instinct is to question that data. That sounds like someone fudging things, like maybe using some modern and fully jacketed overpowered .44 round, but an older, cast lead, black-powder .45-70 round. I mean, the .45-70 projectile is both FASTER and HEAVIER than any typical .44 Magnum load. Also, was that .44 Mag fired from a pistol or from a rifle? Because barrel length makes a difference- from a rifle the .44 Magnum isn't far from being an acceptable cartridge. EDITED- because that was just TOO LONG. See- I can exercise self-restraint! :)

Just one more example flowering away on the growing dungheap of xenophobic and self-centered GOP.Tea credos. The Regressive Right Extremists need a refresher course in NOT jumping the shark.
Then, there's this trophy-winner who is also a woman [hate that] … a Lipton Brigadier sort of Republican embarrassment. In Iowa. Where else. aq
Iowa Republican: Immigrant Children May Be "Highly Trained" Muslim Terrorists, is an eye opener from Addicting Info.
Who were those people who used to picket so eruditely? Right To Lifers were once the ironic and naive designation. More Dick Morris, less William F. Buckley, in the current rendition of the Party of Nope.
An excerpt made salient points.
Why are conservatives so intent on portraying these kids as gang members, terrorists, drug smugglers, etc.? It's so very simple. They've allowed their racism to completely override any other considerations. The idea of allowing even this small amount of brown skinned children into the country fills them with a visceral loathing. This is "their" country meaning it's a "white" country and every nonwhite child that comes here threatens the status quo just a little more.
But, conservatives also like to pretend that they love Jesus and that America is a Christian nation.
It's going to become known as The Grand Ole' Party of the Preposterous.

Here's 6 right here:
As to the actual cuts, there is a great deal of departmental discretion on how those cuts are made and when we see memos like this being leaked:
It's clear that the goal of this Administration is to make the sequester as hard on the American people as possible - punish the serfs if you will.
As Governor Christie said last week, governors deal with these kinds of cuts all of the time. He stated that he could pull 6 of them together - 3 Dem/3 Rep - and over lunch they could figure out these cuts and no one would even know they had happened.
But then if that occurred, the Administration wouldn't get its pain and be able to blame Republicans.
