Crocheted Memories
Created By:

by: Linda Stewart
I am not sure when my love of fiber arts began, but I know it was at a very young age at my mothers knee. An artist and experienced seamstress, she designed and sewed for a family of six. We were the best dressed kids in school and always proud of our handmade dresses. Mom did freeform crochet before it became popular, designing and crocheting items for our dolls, sweaters for her children, and afghans and items for our home. Many a relative was pleasantly surprised and delighted at Christmas or some other holiday to receive a hand-crocheted item from mom and her gifts were opened with excitement. As I think back, I believe her talent is something that helped her open up and come out of her shell. You see, my mother was extremely shy, never one to initiate conversation (except in her own family) and never boastful or overly proud of her accomplishments. I remember the day she picked up a crochet hook and began crocheting a skein of yarn into something beautiful. It was as if magic was taking place right before our very eyes. Looking back, I seem to have forgotten the frustration she must have felt as she ripped out row after row of mistakes and replaced them with the correct stitches. She didnt know the difference between single, double, and half double crochet to read it in a pattern, but she had a knack for figuring these stitches out on her own and incorporating them into intricate patterns and designs.
Look! we would cry happily as we came downstairs on a cold winter morning only to find a finished sweater, complete with animals or some other decoration hanging and ready to wear to school that day. No matter that it bagged a little here and sagged a little there we were proud and ran off to school to show it to all our friends. Since a lot of our friends had mothers who worked, played bridge, or were on the country club circuit, our mother was a rarity and all our friends were envious. We often brought home a whole entourage after school for fresh baked cookies and milk and proceeded to show off mothers sewing area and the yarn she had just bought for her next project. When most kids had one or two outfits for their latest doll, we girls had whole wardrobes, including entire layettes crocheted by mothers' loving hand. While many children sported the latest sweaters from our local department store, we children wore hand designed sweaters. My little brother had socks and caps and we all had warm mittens to wear outside against the frosty winter weather.
With moms flair for color our items were every hue of the rainbow, perfectly matched to each childs hair and eyes. While our family was not rich by any means, mom sold enough of her hand crocheted items to keep her own children in style.
I played around with crocheting as a girl, but didnt seem to get the hang of it until I was a young married woman. My mother-in-law, another self-taught crocheter, appointed herself my teacher and guide when I became ready. I respected her immensely because she had raised six children alone, worked full time and taught herself sewing and crochet. My mother-in-law had learned to read patterns, and she was a crocheter extraordinaire. When I first met her I was amazed at all the lovely crocheted items she had in her home. Pineapple doilies, bedspreads and tablecloths were her specialty, and she made them in record time. I became fascinated with the stitches and became an apt and willing pupil. I began learning to crochet in earnest, a stitch book in hand and my mother-in-law to assist me as I learned to read patterns. I spent many happy hours with both my mother and my mother in law, shopping the lovely array of yarns in different colors and textures. From them I learned to appreciate fine yarn and how to interchange yarns for different patterns. I developed my own eye for color and began to design my own creations with a good eye to detail. Every time I faltered, either my mom or my mother in law was there to help and guide me.
Both women were elated when I became pregnant with my first child. We all outdid ourselves as we bought baby yarn and crocheted in a frenzy to make sure the new baby was the best-dressed on the planet. When it turned out to be a girl we really went crazy! She never wanted for bonnets and blankets, sweaters and booties. When a little brother came along he was treated just as fairly and sported all the latest patterns in crochet.
As my daughter grew I loved designing clothes for her dolls and approached my mother- in-law about teaching me to crochet with thread. My first project was misshapen and odd, but my daughter loved it. I continued practicing and once I got comfortable with the difference in thread and yarn weight, I couldnt stop. Everywhere I went I took my crocheting with me. My daughters dolls that were the on the best dressed list, as I kept up on all the latest doll fashions. My children (with two grandmas and me crocheting) didnt want for warm clothes.
My daughter didnt like needle arts much as a child and I despaired of ever enjoying the hobby with her. Although she learned to sew, it was her brother who learned to knit and crochet. Then, in her mid 20s, she called me one night in great excitement. Grandma taught me to make an afghan! she said breathlessly. Im making it for my bed and wait till you see it! I was elated, and she took to crocheting just like a duck to water, asking either or both of her grandmas for help if I wasnt around.
Now my daughter is grown and she and I have shared many good times crocheting together. We encourage each other and solve together any problems that arise. I came across a box of old photographs the other day. There was one of my daughter at about age three, red hair aflame in a bright green sweater with little white rabbits all over it that my mother had crocheted. I suddenly realized that I am very lucky I was surrounded as a child and young woman by unconditional love shown by the simplest acts creating something for someone by hand. My daughter and I now crochet items for homeless shelters and preemie babies. We design each piece with a special person in mind, my mother, who passed away but never out of our hearts. And know what? When we get stuck and cant figure out what to do we still call my mother-in-law, now 86, who always has the answer. Family values are what crocheting has taught me through three generations of needlework. I am truly blessed.

Breaks in the latest version
Breaks in the latest version
Hi Nigel, can you explain exactly what is breaking? We can take a look and make sure it gets fixed up.
Thanks :-)
excellent plugin I installed it 3.4.1 and playing perfect for me
My bad! It was conflicting with another plugin that used a same value. I am trying to remember this from memory, but the field name was along the lines of myPageMenu or near that.
I was actually looking more for an audio player that can do MP3s in iPhone/iPad as well as other OS combos. This seems to be more of a playlist/album plugin.
I was looking for a player that you just toss an MP3 link into a shortcode to activate, perhaps with a track title specified.
I've been looking for days now and it strikes me as very strange that there's not a simple MP3 shortcode audio player out there that isn't only based in Flash (and therefore doesn't work on iPads/iPhones). Music/audio is a pretty basic part of the Internet and WordPress has so many users. But there's appears to be no good simple player out there that bridges all smartphones as well as computers.
Thanks Nigel.
Yeah you're right, there's a bit of a lack of plugins that work on iPhone/iPad because of the flash thing...
This one is mainly for whole playlist. But it actually can do just 1 track if you want - in Display Settings set 'Show Track List' to 'no'.
May or may not be what you're looking for because at this stage you can only have 1 instance of the player in a site... but we're working on that for next release.

"Isla de Lanzarote" Top 5 Page for this destination Isla de Lanzarote by mustertal
Isla de Lanzarote Travel Guide: 883 reviews and 1,795 photos
The Land of Volcanoes and sunshine.
Volcanoes erupted on this beautiful little Island for over 7 years, causing much devastation, so this is what helped form the Island into what we see today.
Lanzarote has an all year round warm climate, sometimes, with very strong wind's, but, this can be quite welcoming in the hot summer sun.
Unlike some of the other Canary Islands, it's beaches are mainly sandy, albeit imported sand.
Volcano's dominate the Island, and can make it look very stark, as there is very little greenery apart from the ever increasing Palm trees. Tall Palm tree's grow everywhere, and many are protected.
There are three main resorts, Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca, other places are now developing, like the marina at Puerto Calero, there you can take a submarine ride. Development is still taking place all over the island, and it's all in keeping with the Canarian style.
You can dine on the top of a Volcano, ride a Camel, take a boat trip out to see Dolphin's, visit volcanic cave's or just lay back and take in the sun.
Lanzarote is a Volcanic Island, not as developed as it's other Canarian neighbours and building is strictly regulated.
Places to see,
There is a weekly craft market in the old capitol of Tegiuse on a Sunday morning, but , be warned it is very busy. Trip's across to the neighbouring Island of Fuerteventura go from Puerto- del- Carmen or Playa Blanca, if you are lucky, Dolphin's and flying fish can be spotted en route.
There is something for everyone on this beautiful Island.
You can't go to Lanzarote without knowing a little something about Cesar Manrique. He didn't want his beloved island of Lanzarote being developed like it's close neighbours.
Known as the architect of the island, he laid down plan's and guidelines, stating, that, buildings must be no higher than the palm tree's, house's should be painted white, with the shutter's being, blue, white or brown, depending on how close to the sea they are.
He used the natural elements to create tourist attraction's. Volcanic bubble's became caves, an old quarry was turned into the lovely Cactus gardens. His large Mobile's and monuments can be found all over the island.
The Foundation Cesar Manrique, was set up after his death, and they still continue with his work today, this has helped to keep this little island the unique place it is.
His own house, was built in a volcanic bubble, and is open to the public.
Sadly he was killed in a car accident just a few yard's away from his home, but his work and ideas still go on to this day.
- Pros:Plenty of sunshine, no high rise buildings and good beaches.
- Cons:Sales men
- In a nutshell:I love it, laid back and friendly.

I see you have been doing lots of updates to this page lately. Good work! Are any of those volcanos due to go off again soon?
What a wonderful legacy from Cesar Manrique and how sad he was killed so close to home
You obviously love going here as you've been so many times. Looks like a beautiful place to stay. The Mirador del Rio is simply spectacular and those Tapas at La Terracita sure look yummy. Must have some in Torremolinos.
I will have to come back and read about this fascinating place. Morning chores call. Marg
Me again, coming back to look at your updates since March 11, 2007. Sounds like you had a very pleasant re-visit to Lanzarote.
thank you for the thoughtful tips that my friend who lives there neglected to mention. When we go to see her, I'll chastize her with my famous scowl.
Hi thanks for the great tour!Informative and well written with interesting tips and photos thanks Margaret - it was the xlnt cactus garden pic that first drew me in! but how much is about average for the accomm?See u soon in Halifax!
Lots of informations ! very useful. I finished my tips, but they are as informative as yours.
I wouldn't walk alone anywhere late at night. I got robbed at knifepoint when I made a wrong turn and ended up on a what seemed like a deserted street. Thankfully I got some locals to help catch the man&call police!
I loved Puerto del Carmen.We stayed in the old part- up 'Cardiac Hill'!D x

1967 Acadian Canso - Canadian FlyerWritten by on September 1, 2008 Contributors: Brad Ocock, Rich Chenet, Andrew Harvey A musclecar you may not have heard of at a race you probably haven't heard of, but both are truly bitchin'. Check it.
Jud Buchanan of Ontario, Canada, assembled this one-of-a-kind hot rod. Chances are unless you grew up in Canada or near the border, you've never seen a car like this in your life. And unless you follow the whole wide and wacky world of motorsports, you've probably never even heard of the unusual event Jud and his car compete in every year. This is such a unique story, and such a great one, that it's hard to know where to begin.
We'll start with the car you see here, which looks like a '66/'67 Chevy Nova-but it's not. This is a tasty example of the Nova's badge-engineered Canadian cousin, a '67 Acadian Canso. Acadians were marketed by Pontiac dealers in Canada. Technically, they were not Pontiacs but a separate brand, though they shared some styling cues with Pontiacs of the era, for example the bifurcated grille. Acadians were never terribly common even north of the border, their annual production running in the piddling low thousands. The brand existed for only a few years-from 1962 to 1971, when GM of Canada pulled the plug. After that, Pontiac-badged Novas were sold under the Ventura II name, just as they were in the USA. (Though the Acadian name was revived for a Canadian version of the Chevrolet Chevette from 1978 to 1987.)
Anyway, except for its Pontiac-ish grille and different rear and side trim, the Acadian Canso was virtually identical to the Chevrolet Nova. They were built in the same GM of Canada plant in Oshawa, Ontario, as the Nova, and they were offered with much the same optional equipment. (There were even a handful of L79 Cansos built.) When Jud found his Canso in the summer of 1994, it was equipped with a bench seat, a trusty old 283, and an automatic transmission. Jud and his wife, Robin Lynn, flew 2,000 miles to British Columbia to buy the Canso and drive it back to their home near Toronto. "Four days and four new tires later, we got it home, exhausted," Jud recalls.
As soon as we saw the photos, we were impressed with what Jud has done with his Canso. Intelligently planned and functional to the max, this is no Pro Touring poseur. Here is both a practical street car and a competent track car built to go fast and take a pounding. Note the features, like the NASCAR truck-arm rear suspension and the custom strut front suspension built into the stock shock towers, all of it fully adjustable for ride height, camber, caster, and bump-steer. And check out the 10-point rollcage, Brembo brakes, and Simmons wheels. This car was built for a purpose: driving. "I'm not a cruise-in kind of guy," Jud says. "I go to maybe one of those things a year. For me, it's all about the driving."
A former Canadian autocross champion and rally competitor, Jud had modified the Canso and was driving it in solo and track day events when he heard about a new event coming together called Targa Newfoundland. Jud knows a little about automotive events: He operates the Vehicle Dynamics Group, which organizes media and corporate motorsports events for several global automakers in Canada. To Jud, this one sounded like a winner. He immediately contacted organizer Robert Giannou, and a few weeks later he was the first competitor to have his application accepted. He and the Canso have competed in every Targa since 2001. He holds the five-year overall finishing record in the Targa with two Second Place finishes, two Thirds, and a Fourth. He'll be back this year, trying again for the overall win.
So what is Targa Newfoundland? According to Jud and virtually everyone else who has ever competed there, it's the coolest motorsports event in the history of the world. Simply described, the Targa is a 2,200-kilometer time/distance rally through the villages and countryside of Newfoundland Island. The locale is noteworthy because A) it features some of the most breathtaking scenery in North America, and B) the area is so remote and so hammered by harsh winters that it also includes some of the roughest and most challenging roads on the continent. Add camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the over-the-top local hospitality, and that's Targa Newfoundland in a nutshell. Find out more at www.targanewfoundland.com.
For us, one more totally bitchin' aspect of the Targa is that the entry list includes not only the usual Subarus, Porsches, and other sissified rally-type equipment so adored by the string-back glove set; there are also a fair number of good old-fashioned American musclecars in the mix. Year One has campaigned a '65 Mustang in the Targa, and there are also Camaros, Firebirds, and Falcons prepped for the brutal five-day rally. And, of course, there's Jud's Canso, which is not, strictly speaking, an American car, being of Canadian manufacture and all that. But we are still going to declare the car one of our own, and we are going to claim Jud as one of our own as well. He describes himself as "a hot rodder just living the dream of real roads, real cars, really fast." Yep, sounds like hot rodding to us.
Quick Inspection: '67 Acadian Canso Jud Buchanan * Campbellville, Ontario
Powertrain Engine: Jud's 355ci combination is stout yet conservative, featuring a 10:1 compression ratio and 210cc Fast Burn cylinder heads from GM Performance Parts. GMPP was also the source of the dual-plane aluminum intake and the LT4 Hot Cam (218/228 duration; 0.525-inch lift). The distributor, coil, and 6AL box are by MSD. The fuel-injection system is a Holley TBI with a Commander 950 ECM. Blackjack headers feed into a legit road-style exhaust system, as required by Targa Newfoundland.
Transmission: A Lakewood safety bellhousing contains a lightweight flywheel and 10.5-inch clutch operated by a Tilton hydraulic throwout bearing. The rest of the driveline consists of a Richmond R5 five-speed close-ratio gearbox and a Coleman 3-inch aluminum driveshaft.
Rearend: The Targa's rules require an OES (original equipment supplier) rear axle, so Jud uses a GM 12-bolt centersection with an Eaton limited-slip diff and Moser axles. The ratio is a 3.42, which provides a 55-mph First gear and plenty enough steam for the Targa's 120-mph speed limit.
Chassis Suspension: Tokico struts were installed up front with fabricated lower control arms and a race-style antiroll bar. The rear suspension is novel for a street machine, using NASCAR-style truck arms, coilovers, and an adjustable Panhard bar. Jud selected the setup for its simplicity, ruggedness, and good handling.
Brakes: Vented 13.5-inch rotors are used at the front with Brembo four-piston calipers on modified GM knuckles; the rears are 12.5-inch with two-piston Brembos. A 10-inch Repco vacuum booster is coupled with a PBR twin master cylinder with steel-braided lines all around.
Wheels: Simmons three-piece modular, 17x9 front and 17x10 rear.Tires: Street/competition radials, 255/40R17 front; 275/40R17 rear.
Style Body: Except for the hood blister and modified grille, the Canso's bodywork is 100 percent stock, with full safety glass and trim. Nova-based Acadians were offered in two trim levels: Canso and Invader, with Canso at the top. A 10-point rollcage, subframe connectors, and reinforced suspension mounts have stiffened the once-flimsy unibody for Targa use.
Paint: If this were a Nova, we would call this color Marina Blue, but we're not sure what they called it up there in Canuckistan. The graphics are a shout out to Jud's product sponsors, including Castrol and Toyo. He also wanted us to mention Bert Hickman of Hickman Motors, a Chevy dealer in Newfoundland who has been a huge help.
Interior: OMP racing seats with OMP six-point safety harnesses keep the driver and codriver safely lashed in place. While the cabin is dressed out with full carpeting and door and trim panels, there is no radio, heater, or A/C.

Here's one way to get it wrong at Targa Newfoundland. Fall off the road in an unfortunate spot and they will have to hoist you out of the tall sticks with a wrecker. In this case, it's just a Datsun, or Fiat, or Yugo, or something, so who cares?A Timewise rally computer helps Jud Buchanan and his codriver, Jim Adams, keep the Canso humming along on schedule. In Targa Newfoundland, it's all about racing the clock. In the interest of safety and reason, a 120-mph speed limit is imposed.Here's another way to get it wrong: This Targa competitor threw his shiny red Porsche straight into the drink.How cool is this? The race runs right in front of people's houses! Year One sponsored the '65 Mustang of Chip Brunner and Gentry Zentmeyer in the '06 race. The car has a Holman Moody 289 and a Top Loader four-speed.The rear brakes are two-pot Brembos. Note the NASCAR-style truck arms that provide the rear axle location. The adjustable rear coilovers are by Afco.Nothing fancy here: Jud actively adhered to the KISS principle in preparing the Canso for the rugged Targa Newfoundland. The 355ci small-block provides more than sufficient grunt, thanks to heads, an intake, and a camshaft from GM Performance Parts. Note the stiff two-way shock tower bracing. HRMWhile Jud has previously run Yokohamas in the Targa, this set of Toyo radials was installed when our photographer, Rich Chenet, shot the stills. The wheels are three-piece modular alloys by Simmons of Australia.


text: I am making use of Internet explorer 8 on my windows 7 system. But yesterday I thought to upgrade it to internet explorer 9. When I run the set-up utility it ask me to download several extra hot fixes as well as after that when I re-run the installation. The progress bar goes up to 20% and after that gives error "could not start setup". I have attempted it more than three times but each time I receive the same error message. I was not able to rectify it, if you have any idea or suggestion regarding to this please let me know. Thank you for your valuable suggestion.

The Gaslight Anthem at First Avenue, 7/26/10
The Gaslight Anthem
July 26, 2010
First Ave Mainroom
If it wasn't sold out, it was damn close. The last time the Gaslight Anthem came to town, the Cabooze played host, and there was no doubt that it was packed to capacity. Someone figured (rightly) that the band needed a larger place to play, and the jump to First Ave provided a little extra room for fans that weren't able to snap up tickets for last October's show. Bodies had barely any room to move around as they voluntarily packed in on the checkerboard dancefloor, not wanting to give up the little spaces they had claimed. But, hey, it's a busy night at First Ave--you're going to rub against strangers and get a drink spilled on you at some point.
After a straightforward set from Tim Barry (best known as the former frontman for punk upstarts Avail) to kick off the night, Indiana outfit Chamberlain took the stage, hoping to warm up the swelling crowd. It's been a while since anyone had heard from them; Chamberlain haven't issued a full album since 2002, but are currently touring behind a new EP that seems to be their first recorded material in 8 years. An odd choice for an opener, the set from Chamberlain was tepid, filled with songs that had a strong 90's alternative flavor (but somehow checking all the anger at the door). It was well-mannered enough that it almost smacked of Christian rock, not at all a complement to the rough-around-the-edges sound of either Tim Barry or the Gaslight Anthem. Even an appearance from Gaslight lead Brian Fallon did little to raise interest--the hooks just weren't enough to latch onto. The songs were competently performed (hanging mostly on singer David Moore's clear, impressive voice), but unfortunately, were also largely uninteresting. By mid-set, 2009 tourmates Murder By Death were sorely missed.

After the opening acts and a few minutes of the requisite First Ave projector screen filler, headliners the Gaslight Anthem walked onstage accompanied by hip hop beats (yeah, you read that right) before tearing through three songs off of recent album American Slang. There was no slow build to a climax, just a kickoff full of fireworks, jumping straight into some of the most upbeat material on the new record. Oddly, only the front half of the crowd seemed to be moving at all; patrons in the back were content to cross their arms and nod along. Even after a tune as rousing as "The '59 Sound," the back half of the crowd remained stationary. If it weren't for the huge applause in every break between songs, you might have thought some of them weren't enjoying themselves. But, we're not at the weekend yet--it's a Monday night. Cutting a little slack is in order.
Frontman Brian Fallon was more talkative than during past concerts. Where before he mumbled and remained mostly quiet in between songs, this time around he seemed fully engaged, feeding off the energy of a full room and allowing a huge grin to make an appearance from time to time. Jovial, Fallon made the obligatory Prince reference and joked about hanging out with Jay-Z before moving though material from the group's older albums. Even with all the fan-pleasing early songs, the most memorable moments came from more recent works, with set centerpiece "Bring It On" providing a real spine-tingling moment. If you got shivers when the whole group shouted that "everybody's cold," you weren't the only one.
The main set admirably bounced between every Gaslight album to date, even going so far as to include B-side "Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts," but it was the scorching encore that made the concert truly special. After playing most of the new album in the main set, the band was free to roam around their own back catalog, but opened the encore with a cover of Lucero's "The War." The band was joined onstage by Tim Barry, who traded verses with Fallon and added quite nicely to the dynamic of the song. However, the real showstopper didn't make an appearance until a fan in the front row made a suggestion. After spitting out a disclaimer that they were probably going to butcher it, the Jersey boys launched into an impromptu cover of the Who's "Baba O'Riley," complete with Townshend-style guitar windmills and jumping splits. The whole band got behind it and pulled off a surprising, impressive cover, stunning the First Ave crowd and inviting rapturous applause.
Even with a lackluster opener, the crowd got their money's worth. The Gaslight Anthem played for no less than an hour and forty minutes, taking a tiny 3 minute break after the main set. The band packed 24 songs into the entirety of their performance, and gave a solid representation of their work as they packed in songs from each of their three albums and beyond. Brian Fallon started to stretch out his ragged vocals during the most demanding bits, and every member of the band was sweating profusely by the end of the show. Maybe when you make your name as a blue-collar band, the hard work comes naturally--but rarely with payoffs this large.
Personal bias: Last year, I stood in the pouring rain to see Gaslight at Lollapalooza, and didn't regret a moment of it.
The crowd: Diverse; appreciative but largely stoic (save for the moshers in front). Mostly youthful, but with noticeable flecks of gray.
Overheard in the crowd: "Oh no...it's that guy from work. Hide me."
Random notebook dump: An accountant-looking woman next to me knew all of the lyrics to little-heard debut album Sink or Swim, but almost nothing else.

Is This the End of the Beginning for the Euro Crisis?
Let us rejoice! They get it. Well, some of them get bits of it. It's a start.
To judge by European Commission President José Manuel Barroso's speech Wednesday, preparations for a wholesale recapitalization of Europe's banks look well advanced. After months of drift and paralysis, policy makers appear to be quickening their pace to something more in keeping with events.
Mr. Barroso was right to present bank recapitalization as only part of the solution to Europe's ills. Without a lasting fix for the Greek problem, a properly expanded and functioning lender of last resort, better institutional governance of the euro area and credible policies for growth and budget consolidation at national level, bank recapitalization will achieve next to nothing.
But without a recapitalization process, and more help from the European Central Bank to ease bank funding costs, it looks impossible for Europe to avoid recession, a credit crunch and a tipping point beyond which lie economic depression and the disintegration of the single currency, the single market and quite possibly the European Union itself. So, as I said, let us rejoice.
Recapitalization provides the simplest opportunity for Europe to show that it can act decisively and successfully when it finally gets around to it. The other elements of the solution, though far more advanced now than at the start of the year, are still too much a hostage to the political process.
What will recapitalization look like? It will start with a stress test, but with crucial differences: first, banks will have to account "prudently" for their sovereign exposure; second, the pass/fail threshold must be far higher than the European Banking Authority's arbitrary threshold of 5% in this year's formal stress tests. Mr. Barroso told the European Parliament banks will have to show "temporary significantly higher ratios of the highest-quality capital after accounting for exposure," using a definition of capital "broadly equivalent" to that enshrined in Basel III.
So far, so good, so much more credible—and spoiled only slightly by the blandishment that those that fail should present plans for recapitalization "as swiftly as possible." Obviously, there's no agreement yet on what that means, but the year's grace that the failures got in July looks likely to be sharply curtailed.
But what should the pass/fail threshold be? If French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé can tell parliament his country's banks are prepared to raise capital levels to 9%, it's a fair bet the bar, when it is announced, won't be far off.
So it won't be cheap. Morgan Stanley analysts estimate, based on the 2011 stress test, that European banks would face a capital shortfall of more than €152 billion ($207 billion) if they had to show a 9% core tier 1 ratio.
Mr. Barroso's comment that banks should show a "temporary" significantly higher capital ratio suggests the authorities aren't necessarily insisting that all new capital be fully paid-up equity, even if in the next breath he insists that it should be of "the highest quality." As with the EU's draft Capital Requirements Directive, the notion of what constitutes top-quality capital will obviously continue to be shaped according to the needs of the day.
And, you might argue, so it should. The likelihood is still, on balance, that this is an exceptional situation that will be remedied by some political and institutional adjustments, not the beginning of the Book of Revelation. It is driven as much by an acute, but probably temporary, market panic as by any long-term assessment of Europe's economic strengths and weaknesses. There is no need for governments to wade in and take over banks in perpetuity, if a convincing temporary solution is there. Long-term, fully subordinated debt—capable of being converted to loss-absorbing equity if need be, but also capable of being redeemed if the crisis recedes—should technically be the best form of capital support in the circumstances.
For let us be clear: for most banks, there is no alternative to the necessary capital coming from a state, a sovereign wealth fund or the EFSF. Even if a bank's management felt brave enough to approach the market for capital, the demand wouldn't be there. As Swiss Re Chairman Walter Kielholz pointed out recently, life assurance companies already hold almost half the subordinated debt of banks. Why would they ever want to double down? Particularly when the regulatory world has a publicly declared agenda of shrinking the sector and depressing returns on equity?
Whether electorates would allow another round of bailouts that left current shareholder structures in place is another question. Politically, taxpayers would have every right to demand more management heads and more shareholder sacrifices as the price of their support. Certainly, those bank heads who said that the time for remorse was over might have cause for regret, as might those who continued to pursue unfashionably high returns on equity. But state-owned banks in Europe have a record every bit as shameful as their private counterparts, and making the state both owner and regulator of Europe's banking system carries the all-too obvious risk of financial repression in future. The urgent solution may need to take the form of greater state involvement in the banking sector, but it had better do so in a way that allows the state to retreat from its involvement as smoothly and as quickly as possible.

Kamil Al-Ziyarat
Unlike many English renderings of Hadith collections, Shiabooks.ca has taken care to preserve the chain of narration for every narration in all of its projects to date. Further, if there are multiple chains or differing versions of a narration, these are often, if not always, included.Kamil Al-Ziyarat is the fourth major publication from Shiabooks.ca, preceded by One Hundred Virtues of Ali ibn Abi Talib and His Sons by Ibn Shazan Al-Qummi, Glad Tidings of Mustafa for the Shia of Murtaza by Abu Ja'far Al-Tabari, and The Qa'em in the Qur'an by Sayyid Hashim al-Bahraani, and was released in late 2008. Copies are available for purchase now at the website of Shiabooks.ca.
Kamil Al-Ziyarat is a translation by Sayyid Mohsen Al-Husaini Al-Milani of the original work by the scholar Ibn Qulawayh Al-Qummi. It is a utilitarian yet inspiring collection of narrations, purportedly the most complete and comprehensive in existence, about Ziyarat, or the visitation to the holy places of the Shia.
Unlike many English renderings of Hadith collections, Shiabooks.ca has taken care to preserve the chain of narration for every narration in all of its projects to date. Further, if there are multiple chains or differing versions of a narration, these are often, if not always, included. This adds to the authenticity and completeness of the works and usability for scholarship and research purposes. It opens a door of study previously closed in the English language.
Kamil Al-Ziyarat is organized in chapters that start with discussing Ziyarat and its purposes and benefits in general, then quickly go onto narrations about the Ziyarat of particular holy persons and related topics. For example, a chapter on the reward of visitation of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) is followed by one which mentions how to perform this Ziyarat – what to recite and where, etc., as prescribed the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them). The next chapter is about rewards of praying in mosques where the Prophet had prayed, and after this, the narrations move on to visitation of Hazrat Hamzah. Similarly, when in later pages the topic moves to Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), there are chapters explaining the rewards, and the how and where, but also many related chapters about his martyrdom appropriate for someone attempting Ziyarat to know. The majority of the 680 page work is on the Ziyarat of Imam Husain.
One oddity of format: there is no table of contents, and that at first makes the book seem hard to navigate if looking for something specific. However, there is an index at the end of the book, which is really misnamed; it is really a chapter-by-chapter table of contents. It is sufficient as an index as well, because the chapters are short, usually just a few pages, and with descriptive titles and narrow focus. For example, chapter 24 is entitled, "Signs of the Killing of Hussain in Different Places", and chapter 82 is "Establishing Prayers in Full Form Next to the Grave of Hussain."
This book might not be the one you take with you on a Ziyarat trip for a few reasons: for one, you might not want the chains of narration and alternate versions of the same tradition in the book you take with you. You also might not want information for places you aren't going on your particular trip. Arabic is provided in sections which describe what you would say in performing Ziyarat, with translation but not transliteration. But these sections are a small portion of the whole work – this is not a slim back-pocket guide. It is much more than that.
But without a doubt, this book should be required reading for anyone planning a Ziyarat trip or even just dreaming about it, or those who have never really understood the merits, reasons, or appeal of such journeys. Some people will find it spiritually rewarding and engaging to read from cover to cover, while others may prefer to read portions about particular visitations individually, or use it as a quality source for religious research.
Perhaps the defining characteristic of all works put out by this publisher is quality. No one else compares when it comes to lasting bindings and use of something like LaTex to beautifully render both Arabic and English together on the same page.
The English-speaking Shia community owes sincere gratitude to Allah and to this publisher for the works they have been making available. The quality serves as evidence of a labor of love and devotion to Ahlul Bayt. Now that we see what is possible, it may raise the bar of English publication of Shia works permanently. I hope that this work will be strongly supported so that more may follow. This reader heartily recommends not only Kamil Al-Ziyarat but everything Shiabooks.ca has published to date as essential content for a decent English Shia library, as well as essential reading for a quality English-language Shia education. Purchase information as well as future projects can be found at http://shiabooks.ca.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khoei (r.a):

"After examining the traditions of the book and investigating its isnads, it appears that it [the book] contains many traditions - maybe more than a half [of the traditions in the book] - which do not accord with his [Ibn Qawlawayh's] description in his introduction [that the work contains reliable transmitters only]. Moreover, the book contains many traditions whose isnads are not complete or which do not culminate in a ma'sum (the infallible one). Persons who are not from our companions also occur in theisnads. Some figures who are not cited in our biographical works at all are also mentioned, others who are known to be weak like Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah al-Mihran are also cited. Therefore, there is no alternative but to alter [our stated position] and to maintain that only his [Ibn Qawlawayh's] mashayikh (teachers) from whom he reports directly (bila wasita), are reliable."
Salaamun 'Alaikum.

I just want to respond to the accusation that this book is "not recommended" by al-Syed ul-Khoe'i (ra).

First of all, this is not the case. al-Khoe'i (ra) did indeed retract his previous position and he did state that only the Mashaayikh of Ibn Qawlaweeh (ra) that he reports from directly can be considered reliable, and others are subject to investigation. This is a change from his prior opinion. However, you absolutely CANNOT say that he said it is "not recommended". This was the Ijtihad of al-Syed ul-Khoe'i (ra), being the greatest Mujtahid in his time and the most esteemed master of Rijal and Hadith sciences, and his opinion does not detract from the importance of the work. And he himself only mentioned the scholarly opinion on the Rijal of the book, not on the importance of it as a whole.

Secondly, will you say about Kitab ul-Kafi that it is not recommended by al-Syed ul-Khoe'i (ra), or all the other scholars, since they proved that the work has many asaaneed dha'eefat (weak chains) of all types? It's simply academic to analyze the work for what it has, and not attribute "not recommended" to the work.

Thirdly, those who understand the Principles of Jurisprudence and its relation to the sciences of Hadith, they will appreciate that strict grading of the asaaneed (chains) of the ahadith occurs mainly in relation to Ahkaam. Refer to the works on Jurisprudence. Our scholars have implemented weak narrations in `Aqaa'ed and Tafseer and other areas. This book does not deal with Jurisprudence.<br /><br />Fourth, this book is the earliest extant source of the Ziyaarat of `Ashura, which Ibn Qawlaweeh (ra) narrated from the book of Muhammad ibn Isma'eel ibn Bazi' (ra), and its authenticity is not an area of discussion amongst the scholars since it is established as Hadith Qudsi and none of the supreme jurists have undermined its authenticity. The Ziyaarat was also related in Misbaah ul-Mutahajjid of Sheikh Tusi (ra) about a century later.

Fifth, I have heard some people say that only the Mashaayikh of Ibn Qawlaweeh (ra) that he narrated from in this book are considered reliable, and everyone else is weak by the standards of al-Khoe'i (ra). This is not true, and one only needs to refer to the Rijal encyclopedia called Mu'jam Rijal il-Hadith of al-Khoe'i (ra) to find that he has given Tawtheeq (authentication in transmission of hadith) to others who are not from the Mashaayikh of Ibn Qawlaweeh (ra), like Salih ibn 'Uqba and other narrators. Basically what he means by "only his [Ibn Qawlawayh's] mashayikh (teachers) from whom he reports directly (bila wasita), are reliable" is that as a group, only the Mashaayikh of Ibn Qawlaweeh (ra) can be considered reliable, and others are subject to investigation. This is not different from the investigation of our primary collections of Hadith like al-Kafi, Tahdheeb ul-Ahkaam, and others.

Wa's-Salaamu 'Alaikum.

- Syed Mansab Ali Jafri
Just got this book.
Great book.

Best to identify if the traditions are true or not.

Beginning with the chapters on warfare in the first three volumes of the New Cambridge Modern History, Sir John Hale's writings on the subject present an original and rich assessment of war's place in Renaissance life and thought. The first section of this collection constitutes a major contribution to the study of Renaissance fortifications, their design, planning and execution, and their political as well as their military significance. The second deals with the recruitment and training of officers and men. In the third, contemporary reactions to war are analysed in a variety of social and intellectual contexts. The archival and literary sources drawn on are primarily Italian, in the second place English, but the imaginative scene is that of western Europe as a whole.

Baltimore City firefighters had to bring out a hoist in order to lift a woman out of a ravine near the Jones Falls Expressway.
A group of women were walking in an area near Falls Road and Clipper Mill Road at about 5 p.m. Tuesday when one of them apparently slipped and fell down a ravine.
A fire department special team responded and used a Stokes basket to hoist the victim out of the ravine.
Officials did not release any additional information.

Asus' P9X79 WS won the memory overclocking portion of our recent high-end X79 motherboard comparison, and by doing so earned its place on this test bench.
We wanted to see what effect various memory speeds might have on program performance, and games are one of the types of programs that occasionally show this difference. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 580 is fast enough to keep the pressure on our CPU and GPU.
Intel's Core i7-3960X was locked at 34x throughout testing to keep its clock frequency stable at non-reference base clocks.
The lowest-possible game settings would show the biggest impact of memory performance on frames-per-second, but nobody actually games at those settings. Instead, we selected the lowest settings that high-end buyers would likely use (if forced to do so), along with a couple other applications that have been influenced by memory performance in the past.

During their workout, they stopped to talk to current Cal squad about their experiences playing in the Major and Minor Leagues, how they benefited from playing for coach David Esquer and getting an education at the University of California, as well as the opportunity they had to form lasting bonds with their Cal teammates. Since David Esquer became Cal coach in 2000, 67 of his players have been drafted and signed professional contracts. Esquer has coached four first-round draft picks, including right-hander Brandon Morrow, who in 2006 became the highest draft pick in school history when he was the fifth pick overall by the Seattle Mariners. Esquer also helped develop center fielder Brett Jackson, a first-round pick of the Chicago Cubs in 2009; first baseman David Cooper, a first-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in 2008; and third baseman Conor Jackson, who in 2003 was drafted in the first round by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It's known as the rifleman's creed.
Ride or Die
The Randonneur's Creed
This is my bicycle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My bicycle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My bicycle, without me is useless. Without my bicycle, I am useless. I must ride my bicycle true. I must ride farther than any cyclist who is trying to catch me. I must pace him before he drops me. I will....
My bicycle and myself know that what counts in this ride is not the speed we travel, the noise of our chain, nor the dust we leave. We know that it is the miles that count. We will ride...
My bicycle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its saddle and its frame. I will keep my bicycle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
(adapted from the Rifleman's Creed by Major General William H. Rupertus)

White House warns budget cuts will affect Oklahoma teachers, students, senior citizens
WASHINGTON — The White House continued Sunday to wage a public relations battle over federal spending cuts set to be triggered Friday, warning that Oklahoma could lose millions of dollars in grants, teachers could lose their jobs and low-income and disabled students could lose access to classes.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, said the crisis over the cuts had been "made up" and that there were "hundreds of billions of dollars of fat and waste and excess in the federal government."
President Barack Obama has been pressing lawmakers to wipe out $1.2 trillion in planned spending cuts and replace them with a package of tax hikes and more targeted cuts.
The across-the-board cuts will be spread out over 10 years and primarily hit the Defense Department and domestic programs ranging from education to air traffic control.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta notified about 800,000 civilian employees last week, including about 24,000 in Oklahoma, that they might have to be furloughed.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said air traffic, particularly at the nation's busiest airports, would be delayed if the cuts force furloughs of his workers.
Republicans are strongly opposed to raising taxes, and lawmakers from both parties have said in recent days that they expect the cuts, known as the sequester, to go into effect Saturday.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Coburn said the cuts would be triggered but would be less than the $85 billion over seven months — March through September — cited by the administration.
Coburn said the crisis was "created." Cutting spending would be painful, he said, "but not cutting spending is going to be disastrous for our country."
"The American people, you know, we see all these claims about what a tragedy it's going to be," Coburn said.
"The great example is, is if the secretary of transportation can assure us all the planes are going to be safe, then the Department of Homeland Security can assure us that we can get through the airports on time. They have plenty of flexibility in terms of discretion on how they spend money.
"There are easy ways to cut this money that the American people will never feel."
Asked whether the administration was using scare tactics in talking about furloughs and airport delays, White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters Sunday, "This is going to have a very real impact on people's lives and on communities, and people need to know why that is. Like I said, are all these things going to go into effect on the first day? No.
"But there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who are working today who will lose their jobs as a consequence of this Republican decision."

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
on June 26, 2014
H.R. 2283 would change the status of the Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP) from an office to a bureau. It also would reduce the number of years certain countries could spend on a special watch list to evaluate their efforts to combat trafficking in persons. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would cost less than $500,000 over the 2015-2019 period, assuming the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
The TIP office currently has a staff of 40 employees; under section 4, it would become the department's smallest bureau. The bill would not create a new Assistant Secretary position to lead the bureau, nor would it authorize any other increase in personnel or additional appropriations. Section 5 would require the department to report to the Congress on its current Assistant Secretary positions and whether it intends to use one of those positions for the new bureau. Based on information from the department that it would be able to upgrade the office to a bureau without any significant increase in employees or spending, and assuming the availability of appropriated funds, CBO estimates that implementing sections 4 and 5 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2015-2019 period.
The TIP office produces an annual report categorizing countries based on their efforts to comply with certain standards and reduce trafficking. Countries that merit special scrutiny are placed on a watch list. If those countries have not improved within four years they are downgraded and may be penalized by restricting their access to nonhumanitarian aid and exchange programs. Under section 6, countries that have been downgraded and subsequently return to the watch list would have only one year (rather than the four years under current law) to show sustained improvement, before being once again subject to penalties. Under the bill, more countries might face those restrictions or countries might face those restrictions more frequently. However, CBO has no basis for estimating how many countries would be affected and whether any assistance or exchange programs would be restricted; thus, CBO cannot estimate the budgetary effects of implementing this provision.

Well stors Sir. But i expect a Walrus-Queen in the next Episode which is angry because of his Walrus-King because he is not potential enough... or something like that. Jets would be also nice.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
TO THE WALRUS PIT! Ah, the batcave of Gooseman. 5 stars for continuing to dish out the weirdest albeit funny material.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Can't believe you finally finished this. I would say your flash is above average, as always. Sexual-Lobster fan StrapOnFetus..
above average is all i can hope for
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Half expected him to shoot a beam out his mouth when he was stuck there, and why isn't he wearing a green shirt, as it is suggested he always does in your comic? Although i suppose continuity is the last thing i should expect from your work, especially with a name like sexual lobster... Quality stuff anyway. I like how superhuman gooseman is and how calm he is, taking time to talk about the crab parlor and hiding behind cover with no look of fear or concentration on his face, just a quick duck and cover and a rock to the face. Impressive work from him and you.
aah yes well that comic is set before he got to pleasure island and even before he got into the music business. his many green shirts all eventually got bloodstains on them and since he does not believe in detergent he had to switch to the crate of pink shirts and blue singlets.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
had fun watching him while hidding from the bullets.. hahaha! what a funny way.. XD
