Yarn Profile: Denim
By special guest reviewer Kay Gardiner of Mason-Dixon Knitting
First Impressions
This yarn, even when compared to other pure cotton yarns, bears a remarkable resemblance to twine. The fourth shade, Ecru, is undyed; it looks like you could use it to truss a chicken (and you can).
Rowan has been designing beautiful garments in this humble, oddball yarn for decades, but at first glance it is hard to explain its lasting appeal to designers and knitters. Isn't the dye supposed to stay ON the fiber, in this day and age? Isn't it a bad thing for a handknit garment to shrink rather noticeably in the first washing?
To Rowan Denim's many loyal fans, the answer to both questions is a resounding NO! These two qualities—fading and shrinking—are the very reasons the yarn is as beloved to its fans as a favorite pair of bluejeans. There are few sights in knitting as breathtaking as a cabled pullover in worn Rowan Denim, darker in the twists and lighter on the raised areas. Denim baby pant legs will go white at the knees over time, and become a handknit heirloom like no other.
Knitting Up
If your needles are bamboo, their tips turn blue, too. The blue washes off fingers instantly with soap and water, but the needles are blue permanently.
The looseness of the dye—that it rubs off—is the price to be paid up front for the beautiful fade. Once the yarn has had its first wash, it doesn't turn skin—or anything else—blue.
As one who has knit with Rowan Denim for years, your reviewer would like to debunk a persistent rumor: The dye does not come off on furniture or the knitter's clothing while knitting. It would have to be an extremely humid day, and the upholstery, clothing, or yarn would have to be downright wet, for that to happen. Your reviewer, resplendent in white linen muumuu, has knit with Nashville—the darkest shade of Rowan Denim—on beaches and boats and in Adirondack chairs, with no discernible blueing of the muumuu.
Blocking / Washing
Is it strictly necessary to wash the pieces first? No. Nor is it necessary to follow Rowan's instruction to wash a few yards of the yarn that will be used to sew up. This is a bit of fiddliness that, in my experience, serves no purpose except to discourage knitters from wanting to bother with the yarn. If you like, sew the sweater up before washing, and it will shrink and fade beautifully.
How much does it shrink? That's the question that creates the most anxiety for knitters, and it cannot be answered with great precision. A garment knitted in Rowan Denim will shrink by 10-20 percent—IN LENGTH ONLY—after its first washing in hot water.
The shrinkage will depend on the density of the stitch pattern, how hot the water is, and how hot the drier is—all variables that are difficult to predict or measure. For example, washing machines vary widely in how hot they heat the water, with European washers being particularly fierce.
After the first hot wash-and-dry, the garment will not shrink noticeably any further, but it will continue to fade, gently, with each laundering.
What does "in length only" mean? It means that a garment that is constructed conventionally, by knitting the pieces from top to bottom, or from bottom to top—with the rows stacked vertically—will get shorter, but not noticeably narrower, in fit. A garment that is knit from side to side, or in miters, will shrink in the direction of the knitting. A mitered square will retain its square shape after shrinking, but a garter or stockinette square will become a rectangle, wider than it is high.
Another persistent question arises when the Ecru shade is used together with the blue shades: Will the Ecru turn blue in the wash? It may turn pale blue, again depending on how hot the water is. To prevent this, purchase a "dye magnet" in the laundry aisle of the supermarket, and use it the first few times the item is washed.
If you don't use a dye magnet, and the Ecru turns pale blue, do not despair. Over time, the Ecru will whiten, especially if you use cold water for subsequent washes, and also use a dye magnet.
On Choosing Patterns for Denim
What about substituting Rowan Denim for yarn in a pattern that was not written for it? For simple garments without much shaping—pullovers, cardigans, children's items—it is quite easy; simply knit the pieces 10-20 percent longer than the pattern specifies.
When waist and bust shaping come into play, however, it gets a bit trickier. The basic principle is that the shaping must be spread out over a slightly longer distance. If you're intrepid and have a bit of experience working with Denim, it will work out fine. If not, stick to patterns designed for Denim for a while.
One obvious point (which did not occur to your reviewer for many years of knitting with Denim): If you don't want it to shrink, wash it in cold water, the same as you would treat any other handknit cotton garment. It'll still fade when washed in cold water, although perhaps less dramatically on the first wash and a bit more slowly over time. If you don't plan to shrink the garment, you can substitute Rowan Denim for any other pure cotton yarn of comparable weight.

1. Tons of fun
Clair Ching's birthday party was tons of fun. The scavenger hunt in UP was more of a leisurely stroll around famous UP landmarks, and we enjoyed a great picnic on the grass after all our work.
I'm assmilating JM into our collective. ;) He's a good fit. He's interested in kinesthetic puzzles, chess, books, firespinning, and writing. =)
Dominique has been absolutely wonderful. I'm torturing Marcelle by being so obviously thrilled--but I can't help it. He's just so... <smile>
I'm glad to be home.
2. Also saw Diane today!
Yay yay yay yay! Missed her greatly.
She beat Dominique at thumb-wrestling, so he still doesn't have her complete approval...

Ya'll were in my fine city for Bootycon last night, except in my dream this city had awesome public transportation. People were hopping on the bus to go to Double Happiness, a bar in the Brewery District that also houses the Yakitorium. Skewdles was playing some sort of DJ set at Double Happiness and this was tied into a Bootycon event. On the way to the event, Rizu and I stopped into a local market and I wouldn't let us leave until I could find a pastry from Pattycake Vegan Bakery (sweet vegan bakery here in Cbus) for her to try.
Fast forward to our "hotel" which was a brand new loft project that is (in real life) being built near the Arena District. I figured out a great way to serve Jeni's Ice Creams in pints just as if they were the big buckets in the store! This made it easier to scoop and have everyone sample.
I can't wait to see all of you motherfuckers!

I had a dream a few weeks ago where I was back in Philly, and I had convinced a bunch of local OB members to go on the Ride The Ducks tour with me. Arden, Phil, Stephy, Jamie (who I don't think I've ever even met?) are the only people I can specifically remember, but about 1/3 of the crowd was OB. For those who don't know, its a tour through the historic part of the city in a bus that looks like a boat... then you drive down a ramp into the river and SPLASH it actually functions as a boat and you float around for awhile. I worked here for a few months in 2009.
Well as the bus is about to leave the depot, I jump up into the front seat all "TA-DA, I'M ACTUALLY MOVED BACK, I TOOK MY OLD JOB!" And I start giving my ridiculously bad tour. All the jokes are terrible and I don't remember half of the shit I'm supposed to be pointing out. Everyone was of course rowdy as fuck with the quack whistles they give out, so all the Non-OB people had a horrible time and didn't tip me. None of you fucks tipped me either, actually.
On a side note there was one random member aboard that wasn't from the local crew: Gavin. WTF?!

I dreamed that we had made a thread for missed opportunities or something after BC12, and that Mrfantastikou had posted he'd missed a date he and I had planned and he was like, "FUCK! I missed my date with (s)Aint Chimo! DAMN IT! She'll never go out with me now!" and was like, we had a date? When was this, at BC or after?! I would have totally been down!

Brian and I were at a house identified as "Pete's house" (I don't know if he even has a house) with Dylan, SQ, Priscilla, and Priscilla's boyfriend (who I've never met). Pete was throwing a huge party that night but had invited anyone who wanted to come early to come early since he was just going to be home getting ready for the party all day. So we're just hanging out while Pete is getting party stuff together.
At some point Priscilla says "Hey SQ, show them your new tattoo!" and SQ just stands up and drops trou, which makes everyone pretty much die of laughter. He then says "No really, I did get a new tattoo" and takes off his shirt and turns around (without pulling his pants back up, so he's still standing there bare-ass naked with his pants around his ankles) and he has this giant Mayan-style tattoo of a god in brown ink covering his whole back.
Later I asked "Hey, is Frito coming?" and Dylan said "I miss that fuzzy bastard."

I dreamed my ex-fiance (IRL he's a free member who's been lurking) sent a message to Marina along the lines of, "Happy birthday, your legs are perfect canvases, I would love to go climbing with you sometime!" cos apparently Marina goes mountain climbing in my dream? There was a topless picture of Selma Blair looking over her shoulder on the bottom of the page, she had her back turned to the camera and was wearing pink underwear. WTF, stress dreams?
PS: I had this amazingly weird dream about BC12! We were all at a place that looked like Gemini Manor (which is AMAZING, it's a mixture of Hollywood props, thrift store set ups, antiques and pick-a-part finds, link for reference http://www.geminimanor.com/photos-manor.html) For some reason there was a very dark "At the Movies" theme that had a surprise cosplay night. I came one day late and everyone was saying how awesome the cosplay night was and I was so sad I came a day late!!! Then the movie started to turn into a lost scene from Batman Returns and The Clockwork was one of the demented carnival people. I was scared of him!
After the first cosplay night there was supposedly another and for whatever reason I thought my Fionna the Human outfit was appropriate but it totally wasn't, it was dark everywhere! The whole theme, location, and feel of BC12 changed completely and it seemed like I was out of the loop. Not even in my dreams am I the cool kid! BOOO.

A couple days ago, I had a dream that I was visiting prophetx in Columbus...we were hanging doing whatever, and I decided I was going to get a tattoo. I had it all planned out in my dream, no idea what the tattoo looks like now, but I was going to put it on the back of my thigh, right below my butt....I was going to get both sides.
And somehow, we went to a shop and my tattoo artist from down here was working at that shop. And then I started to freak out because I couldn't find all my money, only like $45 of it.
Not as interesting as some other dreams on here, but it has an OB member!

I dreamt that I was at some mall wondering around when I spotted a Harry Potter thing going on. I went to check it out and suddenly had people saying I'd be great at playing the role of Harry in their promotional play.
After getting dressed up and some rehearsal, I got to wonder around some more before the play started. I ended up bumping into MistressZelda and Rizu at the food court and had to explain why I was dressed up as Harry Potter.
Luckily the dream ended as Act 1 was about to start. I really didn't have the heart to put on my best performance.

I had such an awesome BootyCon dream! We were all staying at fancy townhouses, I had the farthest oneto drive from cos it was cheaper. I went to visit Paperback Writer and K-Devil to pick them up for panel. K-Devil was trying to convince me to stay at his townhouse, I was like teehee! I remember thinking yes, totally, and for some reason he was going to stay for months.
Everyone was dressed really fancy, I was in a shimmery gold dress. I was watching previews of MPsy's photos, I looked fancy yet silly. Eppy and Tim asked if I brought my Fionna the Human cosplay cos they wanted to see my burlesque routine. I remember leaving to get it and putting it on but not performing it cos there were children present in my townhouse. I read the kids a story instead. Then I was back at panel, my troupe and I flash mobbed everyone with an S&M themed number we do.
Totally kickass dream!

The effect of Bootycon and Turntable every night has finally crossed over and now I'm dreaming about you guys all the time.
Both nights we were gathered in some sort of hotel/resort area in the middle of a giant city somewhere in Germany. Like, think Vegas or something, but Germany. Lots of buildings, all of them swank hotels. One of the hotels was hosting a sort of traveling Star Wars exhibition, complete with roller coasters inside the hotel! Naturally we all spent a lot of time in this area. I can't pick out exactly who was in the dream, but I know it was a Bootycon, so I assume most of you made an appearance.
And touched my butt.

Last night was weird. I dreamed Jadium was having a gallery opening and taking photos of OBers in Hello Kitty ears! We were having a glorius time when all of a sudden he took his kitty ears off and said, "This isn't where I need to be in my life." He handed the kitty ears to Matthew, his camera to Lisa and walked away. The rest of the dream was a blur but John was yelling instructions at people for something, dunno what.

About the Book
From Possess author Gretchen McNeil comes this teen horror novel inspired by Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. Perfect for fans of Christopher Pike's Chain Letter and Lois Duncan's I Know What You Did Last Summer, Ten will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page!
It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—an exclusive house party on Henry Island. Best friends Meg and Minnie are looking forward to two days of boys, booze, and fun-filled luxury. But what starts out as fun turns twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine. And things only get worse from there.
With a storm raging outside, the teens are cut off from the outside world . . . so when a mysterious killer begins picking them off one by one, there's no escape. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on one another, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?
Don't spread the word! Three-day weekend. House party.
White Rock House on Henry Island.
You do not want to miss it.
It was supposed to be the weekend of their lives—three days on Henry Island at an exclusive house party. Best friends Meg and Minnie each have their own reasons for wanting to be there, which involve their school's most eligible bachelor, T. J. Fletcher, and look forward to three glorious days of boys, bonding, and fun-filled luxury.
But what they expect is definitely not what they get, and what starts out as fun turns dark and twisted after the discovery of a DVD with a sinister message: Vengeance is mine.
Suddenly, people are dying, and with a storm raging outside, the teens are cut off from the rest of the world. No electricity, no phones, no internet, and a ferry that isn't scheduled to return for three days. As the deaths become more violent and the teens turn on each other, can Meg find the killer before more people die? Or is the killer closer to her than she could ever imagine?

One of the greatest revolutions that took place in the 20th century was the dynamic shrinking of distance on a global scale. And if we were to borrow a thought from a popular 1990s movie, we would say, "Honey, we shrunk the world!" This has serious implications and consequences for those of us who live on the planet in the 21st century. So we would be wiser if we each embraced its promise and prepare to deal with its challenges.
We live in interesting times. If someone had predicted a century ago that peoples of the world would live so close to one another the way we do today, no one would have believed it. And yet, advancements in telecommunication, information technology and transportation have increased our capacity to travel to and connect with peoples across national boundaries in any part of the world within a reasonable amount of time, and it is beyond one's wildest dreams. As a result, we are now witnessing the true meaning and essence of being citizens in an emerging "global" community. Citizenship imposes upon us the need to not only learn more about this global community, but also to embrace it, and contribute to its future direction and destiny. This calls for global civic education which should be part of every student's education from kindergarten to college. The prospect for students to be successful graduates, residents, or employees in an increasingly globalized Central New York community depends on it.
First, Central New York is a destination of choice for new immigrants, refugees, international students and visitors. And they continue to come. The presence of these new communities has enriched the cultural/ethnic diversity of the region. It is an excellent preparatory ground to learn about ourselves through the "eyes" and perspectives of other people's cultures. Survival in the global community requires that you demonstrate knowledge and respect for other cultures and ethnic background. It is a strength; not a liability. By learning about the apparent differences, we begin to appreciate more what we share in common with other people.
Second, businesses in Central New York are all influenced by changes occurring in the global marketplace. We have recently witnessed the "flight" of businesses with roots in Central New York to other parts of the country, and overseas. Many have lost their jobs, and are wondering 'why us?' It is imperative for every resident to gain a deeper understanding of the global forces that are causing these changes, how they affect them, and what steps they could take personally and communally.
Third, citizens in the global community are engaged in defining core values that would enable them to not only live peacefully on this planet, but also to save it. We are witnessing increasing partnerships among governmental institutions as well as grassroots organizations across national boundaries to solve global issues including the preservation, protection and sustainability of the planet we share in common. The take-away from these efforts is that choices we make individually and collectively have consequences locally and globally. Learning about how these local-global dynamics impact sustainability and the long-term health of the environment we seek to pass on to future generations is critical, and a core value for global citizenship. In other words, you must think globally and act locally.
Onondaga is one of the leading educational institutions that is preparing its students and employees to live, work, and thrive in an increasingly global community, and has boldly articulated its intentions in its Strategic Plan: A Framework for Success.
It is my hope that everyone would come to appreciate Onondaga's efforts to engage its students and employees to become better citizens in a brave new world.

These police stories get more horrific every time I get on the internet. Seriously sad.
I am not a police advocate at all really, but I do respect guys that put their lives at risk and have to make judgement calls all the time. You are paid to be in a ton of Danger and sometimes sh** happens. San Diego PD shot people all the time. Kids. Crazy people. Homeless people. If you come at them from 50 yards away, you are getting gunned down... Its a sad state of affairs, but when people put their lives at risk in such a crazy job, they are also trained to protect themselves. This situation is wild. But it is what it is... "Mental Illness" and stuff are used as a lot of excuses, but people that act crazy in the real world put them selves at risk to get harmed. I mean, look at all these kids gunning down schools and doing crazy sh**. Its always stated after the fact "He had mental illness"... That is no excuse. I mean, would you care if someone in your family was harmed or worse by a person with "mental illness". That is no excuse. If you pose a threat to the real world, you should be removed from it and hospitalized. Not be allowed to walk around like a ticking time bomb that could harm innocent people at any time... Its like the pleading insanity debate in court.... Yeah, someone who murders 10 people is obviously insane. I kinda thought that goes without saying in situations like that.
Its like the Traevon Martin thing... If you listen to the police call and you follow the incident, the kid got away for almost a minute, had time to dump whatever "contraband" or whatever the kid had, then you hear zimmerman say that he is back in the seen. So, he vanishes and then comes back at zimmerman. The kid attacks zimmerman so he gets blasted... And the whole world is like, he was an innocent kid with skittles..... Well, where did he disappear to for 1 minute and why did he come back at the guy. What would you think. And then you are getting attacked. Even if the kid just punched him in the face, that is reason to get shot. Its not the wild west or the 50s. If you dont know what someone is capable of and your brain suddenly says you are at risk, you gotta do what you gotta do... bam bam.
I mean, I wasnt there, but after hearing the 911 call and the timeline, I think its pretty crazy that the world got up in arms about a sketchy kid getting shot after loitering and selling drugs then attacking the guy. crazy world. Lesson of the day. Don't fu** with the guy with a gun. Ever. Unless you got a bigger, faster gun and are ready to use it.
he making 'lean' from skittles and Robitussin yall
google 'lean trayvon'

Yeah man idk...the trayvon thing is apples and oranges to this situation imo, at least what they're saying about it up to this point. Trayvon got capped in some sort of mutually engaged conflict...this kid idk, 3 cops, 1 kid w/ a screwdriver, couldn't they have tased him?
I'm no police advocate either, as there seem to be a lot of violations of peoples' rights quite frequently, but the flipside to that is I've had the privelege of knowing a few officers quite well...one in particular was like a brother to me, taught me everything I know about hand to hand combat, and was a warrior in the truest sense of the word. The type of guy you'd want to show up if the shiit's hitting the fan. So there's good ones out there for sure, they just seem to be outnumbered by the power hungry bad ones.
As an aside, i just got a ticket recently. For turning right on red in at a no right on red stoplight. Definitely one of the power piggies, and as he approached my truck he was shining his light around just looking for a reason to search my vehicle. I was driving clean, so I had nothing to hide, and some time...anyway I fumbled around acting all nervous hoping he'd search my truck(which has the more dog hair than any other truck in New England). He didn't take the bait unfortunately.
I guess the one piggy felt threatened a 90 lbs kid being held down by 2.
nynj is always sticking up for cops, gvt and the status quo. kinda sad, disgusting, and pathetic really

New photos from Denver added to our online gallery: HERE.
It seemed as if the Green Day Twittyerverse was exploding between 8:30-11:15pm last night. Everyone that had a phone and two fingers was punching away furiously to friends, Facebook or Twitter about one of the best concerts of the decade. There were nearly a dozen "Oh my God, you'll never believe what song Green Day is playing right now!" moments.
Yes, of course this sounds like an overstatement, but it was this feeling that swept the crowd during the show and stayed with us on our drive home. You don't have to believe me, just search Twitter and you'll see what I mean.
Billie Joe Armstrong and company reinforce their scrappy punk status at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, inviting fans to come on stage and sing along.
Heads up, Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman: You may be in for some unexpected company come November.
"I'm running for governor of California!" Billie Joe Armstrong revealed Tuesday night at Irvine's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, where Green Day played one of the final dates of its U.S. tour in support of last year's "21st Century Breakdown."
That this announcement came not long after the frontman declared (in slightly saltier language)
Covers of rock classics like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." Massive 20,000-person sing alongs. Pyro, confetti, and a beer-guzzling Drunk Bunny: Green Day's summer tour is a total blowout. And Saturday night in Denver it got even better: The Bay Area punks debuted a never-before-heard song. Watch video below.
The tune, "Cigarettes and Valentines," is a power-punk jam that sounds more like Green Day's ragtag roots than their rock operas of late (see American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown). Which makes sense: According to Punk News the song was the title track from the band's

Jay-Z's 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' App Rapped For Glitches
Jay-Z's new album, "Magna Carta Holy Grail," was supposed to be available Thursday free of charge to 1 million Samsung smartphone users through a special app days before it hit the market, as part of an unconventional corporate sponsorship deal aimed at changing the rules of the game.
It wasn't long before fans reported difficulty downloading the record, airing their grievances on Twitter, blogs and other social media channels.
But the glitches weren't entirely unforeseen. Earlier in the week, after the special app had been released exclusively for Samsung devices on Google Play, McAfee Mobile Security posted on its site that it had "identified a new Android Trojan embedded in a pirated copy" of the Jay-Z app, and noted the malware was programmed to replace the wallpaper on infected devices on July 4 with an image of President Barack Obama.
"To paraphrase lyrics from Jay Z, it seems Android malware has 99 problems and Android.AntiObscan just became another," McAfee's Tuesday post read.
Separately, fans complained about the real app, which required users to reveal their location and post pre-scripted updates to Twitter or Facebook in order to get lyrics for each track, resulting in oodles of social media spam.
Tweeted one fan sarcastically: " Since I have woken up, 100% of my tweets have all been about 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' LOL."
Samsung did not respond to requests for comment. A representative for Jay-Z declined to comment.
Though the Recording Industry Association of America agreed to change its certification rules for the release of "Magna Carta," meaning the album could be "platinum" before it hit the market because of Samsung's advance purchase of 1 million records for $5 each, some fans questioned Jay-Z's strategy.
The Brooklyn hip-hop artist known as Donwill tweeted Thursday: "Jay-Z jammed up Samsung's servers and forced everybody else to tune into terrestrial radio. #newrules for real."

Skeptics of the amount of difference that one person can make should talk to Joan Davids. The Dillon resident was recently honored by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation at the Pink Tie Affair in Denver. Davids received the prestigious Ambassador Award, which has only been given out a total of five times in over 20 years, for her exemplary volunteer work. In the past 10 years, Davids has helped raise over $860,000 for the Denver affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
A Connecticut native, Davids moved to Summit County with her husband in 2000, hoping to take advantage of skiing, biking, hiking and other outdoor activities. Not long after that, she heard of an event to raise money for breast cancer, and decided to volunteer. That event was the Romp to Stomp our Breast Cancer fundraiser, and one that Davids has been running for the past decade.
Romp to Stomp comes around annually in March, and is run at seven locations across the U.S. and two in Canada. It involves a 3k and a 5k snowshoe walk, or a 3k snowshoe race. The funds for the Colorado Romp go to the Denver Metropolitan Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Davids is no stranger to raising large amounts of money. In addition to her efforts as chairperson for the Romp to Stomp, several years ago Davids raised over $250,000 to buy the county a digital mammography machine. A breast cancer survivor herself, (it was caught in an early stage) Davids is a big proponent for breast cancer prevention and early screening.
"I knew that I was lucky, and I wanted to try to help raise awareness of the importance of early detection," she said.
On receiving the Ambassador Award, Davids said she felt "unbelievably honored."
"I'm so honored and humbled, and just gratified that the work that I've done has been greatly appreciated," she said.
But ultimately, it's not about awards, or even amounts of money. It's about the people.
"That, to me, is the most rewarding piece," Davids said, "to know we're helping folks."

text: Metal is an absurd theater, when you stop and think about it. Much of the music we love is played with unwavering conviction, as though an amplifier turned up high enough can actually transmit the music to the Gods. It sounds stupid, but it's exactly why we become fans, and why we stay involved with the scene, no matter how many people may point and laugh at the more outlandish escapades of our heroes. Metal has a long history of being cheesy, over-the-top, and utterly ridiculous, and no band has ever been so guilty as Manowar.

April 26, 2007
AUGUSTA, Ga.---She was a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, and she has been missing for more than a year.
Right now it's a mystery. Relatives and law officers have their suspicions, but still no resolution.
Now we're asking you. Whatever happened to Deborah Dill?
"Whatever the reason, if somebody knows anything, if they would just call and help us put an end to this nightmare," Deborah's daughter, Amanda Daniels, told News 12. "This is an absolute nightmare."
Amanda's mother, Deborah Fortunato Dill, was 48 years old when she was last seen just over 13 months ago.
Her home was on Woodbine Road between Lake Olmstead and the Augusta National.
In May of last year, her husband, John, talked to News 12.
"The last thing she said is, 'You leave, I won't be here when you get back', and I didn't believe her. A lot of her stuff was gone. I just assumed that she left me," he said then.
But John Dill was still on the radar of Richmond County deputies.
They found out his computer had information on lie detector tests and body decomposition. That raised suspicions.
"The fact she had been missing a month before she had been reported missing, only from her family, and that her husband never reported her missing at all," Lt. Scott Peebles said.
'"Because my mother did have problems--people are aware of this," Amanda said. "At this time, he never called me. It was up to me to say, 'I haven't heard from my mother in a while. Let me see what's going on.'"
In February of this year, John Dill was arrested in the Greenville area on burglary and other charges.
Deborah Dill's family has even more suspicions.
"We definitely, definitely think so, but without knowing for sure where she is, or how she is...we just don't know."
So the family is left with questions. That's not unusual. But so are others, including me.
For you see, I knew Debbie. I would see her often at the former Michael's Restaurant on Washington Road. I too am asking: Whatever happened to Deborah Dill?
Last May, search dogs went through the home and cars on Woodbine.
In late March of this year, some skeletal remains were found off Laney Walker Boulevard. They were those of a white woman, but there are indications it was a woman younger than Deborah Dill. So there is still no definite word.
"We don't know if they know more," Amanda said. "They don't tell us more, or if they can't tell us more. It's hard being in our situation."
Here is the situation for Amanda and her family. No sign of Deborah, no activity on her bank account, and John Dill not cooperating. Here's what he said last year:
"I have been as cooperative as I can, but there is a point where I'm not going to let them push me into something where I feel like I'm guilty of something regardless."
So now what happens?
That may be up to you. Somebody knows something. But what will it take to find an answer?
You see, a six-year-old little boy wants to know too.
"My son asks me all the time, 'Is Nana in Heaven?' And how do I answer that?" Amanda asked.
"All we have is the loneliness. We don't have anything else. It's awful."
Awful indeed...simply not knowing.
I've been in TV news a long time. I know you do some stories because you want to, you do others because your boss tells to you, and there a few you do because you have to.
This is one of those.
Every time I drive by Woodbine on Washington Road, I ask myself: whatever happened to Deborah Dill?
Somebody knows something. Maybe that somebody is you.

Superb program. I have recommended this excellent utility to many people both professionally and personally.
One customer of mine experienced a virus which prevented her iMac from printing until MacKeeper was installed and eliminated many disabling viruses!
Pow!!! and the system was printing again! Thanks MacKeeper!
So I procrastinated about buying the full version until I had to. The last 24 hours have been hell, someone was using my computer and router as their own personal playground. Thanks to Mackeeper, doors are locked and secure once again... sifting through the ashes and assessing the extent of damage now... feeling a hell of a lot more secure than I was 24 hrs ago.
I love this program! Its easy to use and all the other little things that come with it are great! I would recommend this program for everyone who likes to keep their mac clean!
I have owned this application for a couple years. Within the last month, I finally got around to installing anti-theft and anti-virus and it is working wonderfully. For the price, I do not believe there is a better program out there in this area. I also have CleanMyMac 2 and it works for the "cleaning" part but for the all inclusive, I think MacKeeper is the best.
Upgrade discount gave me a Pro version 1-year license for less than what I paid for the latest Basic license. I run 2 businesses off my computer and need to maximize use of space. MacKeeper has been super for helping me do this.
A very nice program. I use a laptop, so the anti-theft feature is a great thing. I used to pay $50 a year for LoJack, but it's built in here.
even though i have only used demo version limit my mac is working a little better
This program takes away my business - does a damn good job! Most mac users are able to use this program and keep their computer running so well. Keep up the great work and paying attention to the needs of all. Another reason to use a Mac - JUST WORKS so easily for anyone.
Mackeeper, antivirus, antitheft, keeps my Mac Pro lightning fast just like it was the day I had this baby custom built to run Final Cut Pro Studio and be able to handle HD Projects without even breaking a sweat. Final Cut X, 4 K editing with a 64 bit platform? This MAC PRO was custom designed and built to be ready for the future, Mackeeper keeps it running clean and fast, and make sure the system continues to operate the way it was built to!
I use MacKeeper. What I have found most useful, so far, is the ability to find duplicates. I was shocked at how much space was taken by duplicate files. Of course, I backed everything up to an external drive before deleting any duplicate but I freed up 12 GB on my MBP. I recommend that everyone give this app a try.

12 Best and Worst Mom Haircuts
To celebrate Mother's Day, we're saluting the celebs whose "mom cuts" wowed us -- and showing you the ones that made us cringe. See which styles you'll want to copy -- and the ones to tell your stylist not to give you
Hey, we get it. You're suddenly busier than you've ever been, which means zero time to create polished, bombshell waves. So what do you do? You tell your stylist to chop it all off and give you a short cut that's a cinch to wash and go.
The problem is that "wash and wear" short hair can be really tough to pull off, says James Williams, head stylist at Canale Salon in Beverly Hills, Calif. The secret is getting a short hairstyle that works with your hair's natural texture. Guy Riggio, a Los Angeles-based Sally Hershberger stylist agrees, adding it's also important to get a cut that really works with your face shape.
"Shorter cuts are easier to manage if you find the perfect style for your face shape," says Riggio. "And that can take a lot of trial and error." Skip ahead to see the 12 best and worst mom haircuts.
Maybe that's the excuse for Kate Gosselin's reverse mullet, Sharon Osbourne's feathered mess, or Katherine Heigl's granny bob?
Thankfully, some moms have sailed through new mommyhood without getting the prerequisite awful short haircut. Just look at Michelle Williams' youthful pixie, Reese Witherspoon's effortless layers, and Michelle Obama's chic bob. Short hairstyles don't get much better than these.
So, to celebrate Mother's day, we decided to take a fun look back at some of the most famous triumphs and cringe-worthy mishaps in mom-haircut history. Plus, we chatted with Riggio and Williams about each look, so when you fit in a visit to the salon in between play dates and nap time, you will know exactly what to ask for -- and what to tell your stylist to never do to you.

Kate Gosselin and Sharon Osbourne's hair styles are awful. But I do have to give cred. for their boldness to be different. most best styles are pretty safe.

I've always hated kate gosselin's hair! She reminds me of a turkey for some reason.

I actually like Kris's cut.

It is kind of mean to compare ladies who are in their 20's early 30's and women who are in their 60's. The first will look younger haircut or not. I don't think Hillary has that bad of a hairstyle here, her longer do ages her much more.

Hillary Clinton has had some really AWFUL hairdos... but I really don't think that her flipped out hair was a bad look for her.

I'm kinda shocked to see Kris Jenner for worst haircuts...I've always thought her look suites her well. Katherine Heigl is just the pitts anyways!

Kris Jenner looks fine. Huh?

kate goslin's has got to be the worst.

I think Kris Jenner's hair looks great. Sheesh!

So, what did you choose to accomplish with this article? It seems more like gossip to me.

The U.S. House Thursday overwhelmingly approved legislation creating a nationwide AMBER Alert network.
The plan to help locate abducted children is named for nine-year-old Amber Hagerman of Arlington, Texas.
The national AMBER Alert measure has numerous child protection measures, including a "two strikes and you're out" provision. It requires mandatory life in prison for child sex offenders after the second conviction.
The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate.
Extended Web Coverage
The AMBER Plan
The AMBER Plan is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies and broadcasters to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases.
Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS), formerly called the Emergency Broadcast System, to air a description of the missing child and suspected abductor.
This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of the AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe return of the child.

First of all, sorry for my bad englisch.
I cant find an option to turn off the Computer, but i think that would be a great Function.
I'm using my PS3 in the livingroom and my computer is in my office, so i've to go to my office anytime I wanna switch off my computer.
Normally I'm working till evening and turn on the PMS to stream a movie to my tv at the livingroom.
After that I don't want to go to the office anymore.
I wonder that there wasn't any option to display e.g. an entry in my PS3 at the PMS selection that should be named like "Turn off PMS and Computer".
So I decided to try it here.
Eventually I'm blind and this feature is already implemented but I did not find this option.
If not I'm suggesting it here right now.
I guess this isn't attended with much effort?!?!?
Maybe I'm wrong, then it will take some time, but i truthfully hope u can add such feature in the near future...
Hope you guys understand what I wanna tell you as already mentioned my english is really bad..

The San Francisco Bay Area's main commuter train system and its unions have reached tentative agreement on a new contract, ending a crippling four-day strike.
Union officials announced the deal Monday night. It still requires approval from union members.
BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost says limited service will begin at 4 a.m. on all lines.
Trains will likely be running at full strength in time for the Tuesday afternoon commute.
BART is the nation's fifth-largest rail system, with an average weekday ridership of 400,000.
Workers walked off the job on Friday after talks broke down. Commuters endured jammed roadways and long lines for buses and ferries, as they looked for alternate ways around the region.

Running 1.72.0 with Windows 7 x64. Core i5 2.27 w/ 8 GB RAM. Logging in to the PMS service as Local System w/o desktop access, or logging into the GUI app as Administrator.
Simple question. When I run PMS from the GUI application, I can play MOV and MKV files on my PS3 just fine (though I do need to run PMS as Administrator to get it to work). When I run it as a Windows Service, it works fine with MP4 files, but cannot play MKV or MOV files, instead giving an error: "This content cannot be played (800288E1)".
Not a firewall issue, happens whether the firewall is on or off.
I assume this is because MP4 files are played natively on PS3 and so do not require transcoding, whereas MKV and MOV files must be transcoded by MEncoder to play on the PS3.
So, does anyone know what I need to do to get MEncoder to work with the service? Or am I completely off base as to what is going on here? Thanks in advance.

Year in review: Tumultuous year at Capitol
The year 2012 was another tumultuous year for the Connecticut political scene. Here are a few highlights: In mid-January, Moody's Investor Service sacked the state with its first credit-rating downgrade. A week later, it was revealed that despite Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's boasts that he had gotten Connecticut's finances in order, the state remained mired in red ink. It later emerged that the overreliance on high-income earners for revenue that characterized Gov. Malloy's first budget (not to mention, an increase in state spending) played a large role in this debacle. When fiscal year 2011-12 ended June 30, Connecticut had a $143 million deficit, and Gov. Malloy and the legislature recently adopted gimmick-filled legislation to plug the current budget's $365 million hole.
This year's regular legislative session was heavily focused on education reform. The package Gov. Malloy and the legislature ultimately enacted seems to be a mixed bag for Connecticut. How effective it will be remains to be seen.

|A Fun Halloween Without Candy? of Course!
Trick or treating can be one of a child's favorite times of year, but often times they return with a goodie bag filled with loads of sugar and "junk food" that some parents end up throwing out portions of to avoid their child eating so much.
Here are some great alternatives to those little bags of goodies manufactured on equipment that processes peanuts and are loaded with sugar!

Saenger Theater, New Orleans, LA
Set 1: I Am Oysterhead[1], Mr. Oysterhead[1], Jam > Rubberneck Lions[1], Owner of the World[2], Blue Ginger[1], Happiness in My Pants[1] > Wildwood Weed[1] > Happiness in My Pants[1], Sinkin' Down[1], Pseudo Suicide[1]
Encore: Immigrant Song[1], The Israelites[1], All Day and All of the Night[1], House of the Rising Sun[1]
[1] Oysterhead debut.
[2] Oysterhead debut; dedicated to Fishman.
Notes: This debut Oysterhead performance was part of the "Superfly Presents" annual series that runs concurrent the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. "Owner of the World" was dedicated to Fish, who ran on stage and bowed. "Pseudo Suicide" included lyrical quotes from Primus' "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and Phish's "Reba." All three musicians were wearing white jumpsuits. As this was the first public performance of Oysterhead, all songs are Oysterhead debuts.
Musicians: Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool, Stewart Copeland
Musically? Not bad. The jam into Rubbernecking Lions is "Pink Floydish", and Trey's finger picking on "Blue Ginger" is quite nice, in the same mold as "Inlaw Josie Wales".
I'd listen to shows from their fall 2001 tour if you want GOOD Oysterhead, but this one's cool for the excitement of the first time.

The Lake Dillon Theatre Company presents a new fall concert of Broadway and jazz standards tonight at Warren Station in Keystone. The evening promises contemporary jazz, pop and modern musical standards with performances from current Broadway shows and recent hits from the last decade.
The program features Priscilla Fernandez and Christopher Flowers, who play the lead roles in the theater's current production, "Marry Me a Little," along with musical director Jonathan Parks. Also treating the audience to their talents are executive director Joshua Blanchard, who starred in "Kiss of the Spider Woman," and producing artistic director Chris Alleman.
"We'll have a three-piece band, piano, drums and bass," said Alleman. "There's going to be a little bit of everything - Broadway classics, jazz standards, one or two Elvis songs, songs by the group the Temptations - a cornucopia of favorites."
The Lake Dillon Theatre Company usually does two concerts a year - a Broadway Now concert showcasing current, popular Broadway pieces, and a Broadway Then featuring the classics, Alleman said.
"These concerts have always been very popular because of the opportunity for people to see staff having a good time but also because people just love hearing music; they love reminiscing," Alleman said. "That's why we do things mostly familiar to people - to bring back memories. People just clutch onto these concerts because they're a lot of fun."
The fall concerts, started four years ago, will take place Nov. 2-4 at the Lake Dillon Theatre and feature actors from the upcoming "Fox on the Fairway" production (Nov. 23 to Dec. 16) in addition to visiting actors from Denver, Alleman said.
Tonight's concert is in a similar vein, but takes place at Warren Station and benefits the Lake Dillon Theatre's educational and outreach programming.
Table seating at the concert is sold out, but $20 tickets for regular seating are available at www.lakedillontheatre.org; box office: (970) 513-9386. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the concert goes from 6:30-8:30.
