JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israelis enjoyed following their prime minister, first lady and son on the last leg of a five-day visit to the United States, which concluded with a trip to the West Coast.
The prime minister, his wife, Sara, and son, Yair, were honored guests at the home of Arnon Milchan, a very successful Israeli film producer and Hollywood businessman, where they rubbed elbows with such star-studded guests as Clint Eastwood, Billy Crystal, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro, Anthony Hopkins, Barbara Streisand, Kat Hudson, and James Caan.
Thursday evening, Netanyahu told an audience at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance why it's important to take Iran's threats to destroy Israel seriously.He also talked with senior executives at Apple Inc. and WhatsApp about cyber security, one of Israel's most highly honed sectors.
He toured the Silicon Valley where he signed an agreement with Gov. Jerry Brown for joint research and technology projects.
On the sidelines of their meeting, Brown told the press that Israeli innovation in water use and conservation could be profoundly helpful in California, which is suffering its worst drought in decades.
Information giants such as Intel, Google, Microsoft and Apple all do extensive business with Israeli companies.
After Monday's meeting with President Obama and others on Capitol Hill, Tuesday's address to 14,000 participants at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference and a very successful visit to L.A., the Netanyahu's headed home Friday.

Death Sentence Rates and County Demographics: An Empirical Study
Theodore Eisenberg
Cornell University, Law School (deceased)
October 15, 2004
Why do black defendant-black victim cases receive by far the lowest rate of death sentences? One hypothesis is that prosecutors devalue black victims' lives and do not regard black-victim murders as seriously as white victim murders. A second hypothesis, one that need not preclude the first, posits that black communities' aversion to the death penalty leads prosecutors to seek it less, or juries to impose it less, in minority communities. The first view represents a version of old-fashioned stereotypical racism. The second hypothesis could be regarded as democracy at work. Communities more hostile to the death penalty elect officials and process criminal cases in a manner that reflects local community values. This Article finds that, in addition to the number of murders, three other demographic factors influence the death sentence rate at the county level. The rate of death sentences decreases as a county's black population percent increases, as a county's per capita income increases, and as a county's homicide rate increases.

The group is led by a host of pitchers and catchers that will be needed to handle side-work and additional innings early in camp. Among the pitchers, right-hander Enrique Gonzalez and left-hander Fu-Te Ni will both return to big league camp despite not being on the 40-man roster. Gonzalez has extensive big league time and though he is a long shot for the MLB roster on Opening Day, he has a good chance to see a few innings in Detroit before the season is complete. Ni never could get things going in 2010, after a solid campaign in 2009 as a bullpen lefty. Though the Tigers look poised to head into the season with Brad Thomas and Daniel Schlereth as their primary lefties, Ni could still return to form and have an impact in 2011.
Another lefty looking to wiggle his way into the bullpen picture is veteran John Bale. Signed out of Asia to a minor league contract, Bale has had success at every level of professional baseball, and he could be a sleeper for the roster if injuries strike during the spring. Another Asian import is right-hander Chris Oxspring. Returning to health after arm surgery, Oxspring has solid stuff and knows how to pitch, but he won't blow anyone away. Don't discount him in the race for both the back end of the rotation and the bullpen.
The remaining two pitchers earning invitations to spring training are right-hander Brendan Wise and left-hander Adam Wilk. Wise is a sinker-slider type that just keeps trucking along. He had success at Triple-A in 2010, and he could be a viable middle relief option at some point down the line. Wilk was one of the organization's top minor league pitchers in 2010, and even without knockout stuff, he has the guts, guile, and intelligence to get hitters out. He's an extreme long shot to make an impact in Detroit early in the season, but with continued success in Erie and/or Toledo this year, he could be on the radar by season's end.
Squating down to pull in all those pitches will be a group of six catchers that the Tigers are brining to camp to help ease the spring load on Alex Avila and Victor Martinez. The Tigers top three catching prospects, Rob Brantly, Bryan Holaday, and John Murrian will all start their springs with the big boys. They will be joined by veteran backstops Max St. Pierre and Omir Santos, and newcomer Patrick Leyland.
Only St. Pierre and Santos have any reasonable chance to break camp with the big club, but the exposure to big league camp will be good for all of these young receivers. In the good story category, Tigers manager Jim Leyland could have the pleasure of writing his son's name on an early spring lineup card.
On the infield, Scott Thorman and Argenis Diaz were minor league free agents brought in to provide depth during the spring and compete for jobs at the upper levels of the system. Both will have their work cut out for them, but they have enough skills to stick around in camp for a while, and allow the Tigers to rest players like Jhonny Peralta, Brandon Inge, and Ramon Santiago at times throughout camp.
Brandon Douglas has done nothing but hit since joining the organization as an 11th round draft pick in 2008. That hitting prowess has earned him a chance to impress the brass on the big field in Lakeland this spring. Though the Tigers are currently staring at a bit of a log jam at second base with Carlos Guillen, Will Rhymes, and Scott Sizemore, Douglas might have enough offensive ability to force his way into the discussion by the end of 2011.
Rounding out the cadre of NRIs, the Tigers have also invited outfielders Andy Dirks, Avisail Garcia, and Ben Guez. Dirks turned in his best pro season in 2010 and continued raking during a winter in the Dominican. Scouts continue to see him as a player capable of being a big league fourth outfielder if given the chance, and the start of that chance now comes this spring.
Garcia is one of the organization's most physically impressive and supremely talented players, and this opportunity to work with the big league coaching staff and be around big league players like Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez could prove to be the spring board he needs to translate raw tools to results in 2011. Garcia will likely stay in Lakeland for the entire season, serving as the Flying Tigers primary right fielder.
Guez moved all over the organization in 2010, jumping from Lakeland to Toledo, then back again, and he even made a stop at Erie in there as well. He finished with a decent showing in the Arizona Fall League. With a litany of outfielders in camp, Guez will likely get limited opportunities to strut his stuff, but the exposure to big league players will be valuable.
The Tigers could still add more players to this list of non-roster invitees, though big league camp is starting to fill up quickly with 58 players currently slated to be there.

Does anyone have any videos of the gala
Does anyone have any videos of the gala
Here's Mirai
If anyone has Ashley's, that'd be much appreciated
Hopefully IN will have up all the videos soon.
Was the gala before or after the Olympic team announcement? Nagasu was so emotional.
We watched some of last year's gala last night. I sure hope IN has no commentators for the gala. Just let us watch the show! It was dreadfully and distracting. I wish they had a mute button for the talking.
Oh my god of course he did.

anyone have the galas for gracie, ashley, or polina? I just saw Mirai's and it was amazing.
FYI local NBC affiliate in Spokane market is pre-empting Gala for boys dribbling in shorts...bummer...maybe it will be on IceNetWork....
I rather see Jason Brown than watch Gonzaga play some second-rate team in their mid-major conference any day...
Right at the beginning of her performance, Ashley was already tearing up.
And she's visibly crying at the end of it.
That was definitely an emotional performance.
ETA: Not sure what specific cut, but this is the original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_1aF54DO60
I do hate it when the commentators talk during the performances like this. Jason's currently on. Still laughing.

Despite dramatic rumors about the state of his health, "Bernie Mac is still alive and being treated in a Chicago hospital for pneumonia and is expected to make a full recovery," his rep tells PEOPLE.
"We once again ask that the press respect his privacy and that of his family," says Danica Smith.
The actor-comedian (real name: Bernard Jeffery McCullough), 50, was hospitalized in Chicago for pneumonia, Smith told PEOPLE on Friday.
"Mr. Mac is responding well to treatment and will be released soon," she said in a statement. "He asked that his privacy and that of his family is respected while he gets well."
It was further stated that the pneumonia was not related to Mac's 2005 diagnosis of sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in organs such as the lungs or lymph nodes.

Got Hives? Beekeeping Now Legal in New York City
urban farming movement has grown and flourished. But until last week, having bees in New York City was illegal. Not anymore! The New York City Board of Health recently voted to amend the health code and lift the ban on beekeeping. So all of those secret beekeepers can lift their big, screen masks and proudly show their faces. Think you're interested? We've got links to detailed information about how to keep bees in the city, plus one Brooklyn resident's firsthand experience. Last spring, over at Apartment Therapy, Amy Azzarito described her efforts at rooftop beekeeping. Go see how she built the hive and introduced the bees to their new home in Brooklyn. • Getting the Hive Ready for the Bees • Bees Come Home to Brooklyn • Click here to read about Just Food's campaign to legalize beekeeping in NYC. • To get involved, check out the New York Beekeepers Association.

The head scientist at Mount Pleasant biotech company GenPhar pleaded guilty today to making illegal contributions to the re-election campaign of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham.
U.S. District Judge Weston Houck accepted Danher Wang's plea and reserved sentencing for a later date.
Wang, 53, pleaded guilty under an agreement with prosecutors that likely limits her exposure to a maximum punishment of two years in prison and a $200,000 fine.
The government accused Wang and her estranged husband, embattled GenPhar founder Jian-Yun Dong, of conspiring to make at least $31,000 in illegal donations to Graham and his political action committee. They allegedly used straw donors and cash from a foreign national to get around federal campaign donation limits, prosecutors said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Moore said Wang acted at the urging of her husband, whose trial is scheduled to begin Monday. She does not admit knowing that her actions were illegal, but she does acknowledge that she knew of and turned a blind eye to donation limits and a ban on contributions from foreign nationals, he said.
Moore said they embarked on the plan in 2006 in the hope of securing the senator's help in winning federal grants for GenPhar.
Graham is not accused of any wrongdoing. Graham's office and federal prosecutors have maintained that Graham has cooperated with investigators and that he had no knowledge that the donations were suspect at the time they were made.
Wang inked an agreement with the government earlier this month in which she agreed to plead guilty to using at least one straw donor and foreign cash to make illegal campaign contributions.
In return, prosecutors will drop other counts against her. Wang must continue to cooperate with authorities and testify in court, if necessary.
Prosecutors and Dong's attorney are trying to hash out an agreement stipulating Dong's fundraising activities on behalf of Graham and the senator's efforts promoting GenPhar's endeavors. Such an agreement would likely negate the need for Graham to testify at Dong's trial.
A proposed agreement acknowledges the actions of each man but spells out that there is no evidence of a donations-for-funding arrangement between them. The two sides are still trying to work out some specific details, however.
Dong, 55, is expected to go trial at a later date in connection with a separate indictment accusing him of stealing $3.6 million in federal grant money intended for research on vaccines for the deadly Ebola and Marburg viruses. Authorities say he used the money to pay for lobbying and to entertain a mistress in China, among other things.

Kinda light on both to work form a bit.
135lbs on Cleans and damn does my form SUCK! The catch (rack position) is just not right. Keep hyperextending my wrists and generally just blowing that part. No big deal with this weight since I could just as well hold it just with grip and arm strength if I want, but a real issue if I'm gonna use higher weights. First time doing these though so I'm not all PO'd or anything. Just something to work on.

I use vote-by-mail. I got the information from my mailbox, read it all carefully and mailed the ballot back within a few days.
So what is the problem? I missed the campaign by mailing it in so soon!
For voters like me, the ballots are sent out way too early. I know that there might be a few of us who need that time because of extraordinary circumstances, but I, like many, find it a hassle to go to the polls.
One time I went to the address on the sample ballot and the polling place wasn't there. Maybe that experience soured me just a little.
Of course I could have tucked away my ballot paperwork and waited for the campaign. Not me. I need a little help from the county on this.
Can't we have a little box to check somewhere so that our sample ballot arrives just a week or so before the election?

The insurance company for the city of Bend has paid a $40,000 settlement to resolve a 4-year-old lawsuit filed by a former police officer who claimed he was wrongfully fired after complaining about illegal arrests and actions and racial discrimination against Hispanics, the parties confirmed Wednesday.
However, city officials said they had rejected any efforts to pay a settlement to Brett Ryan, still refuting all of his claims, and that it was the city's insurance firm that decided it would be cheaper to settle the case, rather than go to trial.
Ryan, a Bend officer from 2005 until his dismissal in 2008, filed a tort claim notice against the city in early 2009 and filed suit in 2010 in Deschutes County Circuit Court, seeking nearly $1.6 million in damages. The city later successfully had the lawsuit moved to federal court, since it alleged violations of federal civil rights.
Ryan's lawyer, Larry Linder of Salem, said the case was set to go to trial in June but that the police department agreed to pay him damages instead.
Linder said Ryan, now a lawyer in Las Vegas, attributes the settlement in part due to "blatant inconsistencies between (now)-Interim Chief (Jim) Porter's sworn testimony and his prior statements," as well as being contradicted by other officers' sworn testimony and written police reports."
The lawyer also claimed the city "failed to provide Ryan with a copy of a dispatch recording and a copy of a police report regarding one of the incidents that was at issue in the litigation."
But in a statement provided Wednesday to NewsChannel 21, city Communications Director Justin Finestone said Linder had offered to settle the case back in January, but was "advised by the attorney for the city that the city is not going to pay to settle the case, and the case would have to be tried."
The settlement by the city's insurance company, which was defending the city against the lawsuit, "was paid with money from the insurance company," Finestone said.
"It is the city's understanding that the case was settled by the insurance company because it was cheaper to settle the case than try the case," the city spokesman said.
Linder said that his client "feels vindicated and hopes that this will help prevent similar occurrences to others in the future."
However, Finestone said, "The city's position was and is that the plaintiff had his (police) certification taken away because of his conduct, and thus had no (legitimate claim to) damages."

With less than 100 days left before the presidential election, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's supporters have launched a pro-business tour called, "We Did Built This."
Their ongoing tour is taking place in 12 states -- Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, Missouri, and New Mexico.
Romney's former rival Newt Gingrich has also joined the campaign.
"It is the growth of small business which has made America great," Gingrich said. "And it's Obama's failure to understand that, which explains why his economic policies are such a disaster."
"We Did Build This" is intended to be a direct slam against President Obama, who recently told American business owners that "someone else" made their businesses succeed.
But in a new campaign ad, the president said his critics have taken his words out of context.
"Those ads, taking my words about small business out of context, they're flat out wrong," Obama says in the ad. "Of course Americans build their own businesses."
But Romney spokesman Ryan Williams charged that "Obama puts his faith in government," while Romney puts "his faith" in the "entrepreneurs and innovators."
Meanwhile, the Romney campaign has released a new ad featuring business owners who are upset over the president's remarks.
"He was trying to say, 'Hey you didn't build that business on your own. The government helped you build it," one irate business owner says in the ad. "And that's what ticked me off more than anything."

Chateau Rollat "Edouard" Cabernet Sauvignon 06
$64.95 Regular
2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
A concentrated nose of cassis, black plum, soil, smoke, violets, and spicy herbs. The lush palate offers up beautifully dense black fruits, with attractive sweetness and awesome length. This is a wine for cellaring--the structure begs for it. Put into a line-up of 20 Walla Walla Cabs or Cab blends, you could pick this wine out virtually every time because of its distinct earth, herb, and oak component. Those who invest in the 05 Edouard will be very happy in 10 years.
"Rollat's still more substantial sibling is the 2005 'Edouard' Cabernet Sauvignon ($62).... All Chateau Rollat wines are being made at Va Piano for the moment, though a dedicated winery is in the planning stages. The Edouard, in French terms, is a vin de garde - a wine to put away for some years. "I hope it will be a giant among wines," says the winemaker. Based on my first impressions (dark, smoky, nuances of bark, soil, subtle layers of earth and barrel), I believe it will." - Paul Gregutt, Seattle Times
Steven Tanzer says: "Bright ruby-red. Aromas of black cherry and herbs, with a brooding soil pungency and very suave use of oak. Richer, denser and more energetic than the regular bottling. This one boasts greater sweetness of fruit but it also has terrific acidity and comes across as tightly wound today. Finishes very long, with a succulence achieved by only a handful of Washington State Cabernets. These two wines are made entirely from Walla Walla fruit, from the Pepper Bridge and Seven Hills vineyards. 92(+?) points"

The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers three graduate degree programs --- an M.S. with a major in mathematics, an M.S. with a major in applied mathematics, and a Master of Arts in Teaching. We also offer a graduate certificate program in applied statistics.
Each M.S. program has flexibility, so you can tailor it to your needs while meeting the requirements, which are described briefly below and in more detail on the tabs above. Neither requires a thesis or knowledge of a foreign language. The programs are structured so they can be completed by part-time students who attend classes only in the evening. These part-time students normally complete a degree program in three to five years. Full-time students with good preparation normally complete a master's degree in two years. All of the courses are offered starting 4:30 p.m. or later, two days a week
Even if you are not interested in a degree or certificate program, you may take graduate courses offered by the department.
Math Graduate Course News
Below you can also get information on how to apply for admission, create a plan of study, seek a teaching assistantship, and other helpful links
M.S. with a major in mathematics [ top ]
If you are interested in a traditional mathematics master's program, the first of these programs is more appropriate. It is also the best choice for secondary-school mathematics teachers or prospective Ph.D. students.
M.S. with a major in applied mathematics/operations research [ top ]
If you are, or plan to be, employed in a business or industry that requires significant mathematics, you should choose the second master's program, which incorporates applied mathematics into a curriculum based on a sound mathematical foundation.
Master of Arts in Teaching [ top ]
The master's program in mathematics education is a 33 credit hour cohort program, carefully designed to provide professional growth for middle and secondary school mathematics teachers by scaffolding and intertwining theory and practice in mathematics education across four academic-year semesters and two summer sessions.
Graduate Certificates [ top ]
The Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics is designed to give engineers and technical managers the statistical knowledge and experience needed for good planning and quality control.

Distortions to Agricultural Incentives in Latin Americaby Kym Anderson Alberto Valdes
The vast majority of the world's poorest households depend on farming for their livelihood. During the 1960s and 1970s, most developing countries imposed pro-urban and anti-agricultural policies, while many high-income countries restricted agricultural imports and subsidized their farmers. Both sets of policies inhibited economic growth and poverty alleviation in developing countries. Although progress has been made over the past two decades to reduce those policy biases, many trade- and welfare-reducing price distortions remain between agriculture and other sectors as well as within the agricultural sector of both rich and poor countries. Comprehensive empirical studies of the disarray in world agricultural markets first appeared approximately 20 years ago. Since then the OECD has provided estimates each year of market distortions in high-income countries, but there has been no comparable estimates for the world's developing countries. This volume is the second in a series (other volumes cover Africa, Asia, and Europe's transition economies) that not only fills that void for recent years but extends the estimates in a consistent and comparable way back in time-and provides analytical narratives for scores of countries that shed light on the evolving nature and extent of policy interventions over the past half-century. 'Distortions to Agricultural Incentives in Latin America' provides an overview of the evolution of distortions to agricultural incentives caused by price and trade policies in the economies of South America, plus the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Mexico. Together these countries constitute about 80 percent of the region's population, agricultural output, and overall GDP. Sectoral, trade, and exchange rate policies in the region have changed greatly since the 1950s, and there have been substantial reforms, especially in the 1980s. Nonetheless, numerous price distortions in this region remain, others have been added, and there have even been some policy reversals in recent years. The new empirical indicators in these country studies provide a strong evidence-based foundation for assessing the successes and failures of the past and for evaluating policy options for the years ahead.

Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Company will provide Affitome technology for generating synthetic B-cell epitope antigen mimics.[© vishnukumar - Fotolia.com]
Austrian firm AFFiRiS will act as the industrial partner for the newly established Christian-Doppler-Laboratory for Cardiometabolic Immunotherapy (CD-Laboratory), which is working with the Medical University of Vienna on basic research to facilitate the development of a vaccine against type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
The CD-Laboratory's research will focus initially on investigating chronic inflammatory processes of adipose tissue and the cardiovascular system, and will be supported by both public funding and an investment by AFFiRiS. As part of its involvement in the program, AFFiRiS will provide the laboratory with its Affitome® platform for active immunization, which to date the firm has been exploiting primarily in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.
"There is increasing evidence that some of the body's own structures are involved in the cause of inflammatory reactions of the adipose tissue," comments Günther Staffler, head of immunology at AFFiRiS. "The underlying fundamental inflammatory mechanisms will now be investigated at the CD-Laboratory. It will also be explored, whether and how an active immunization approach based on our Affitome platform technology can unfold its therapeutic efficacy/impact."
AFFiRiS is exploiting its Affitome technology for the development of synthetic vaccines, primarily against neurodegenerative diseases. The molecular mimicry technology is used to design short peptides that mimic the native antigen and act as B-cell epitopes capable of triggering antibody immune responses. The firm claims that in comparison with vaccines based on native antigens, Affitome-based candidates can be fine-tuned to maximize specificity of the immune response, and because the antigen is immunologically foreign, there is no need to break tolerance.
AFFiRiS' pipeline includes three early clinical-stage candidates against Alzheimer disease (AD), and preclinical-stage candidates against atherosclerosis, Parkinson disease (PD), and hypertension. The PD vaccine program is partly funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Lead AD candidate, AD02, is partnered with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and is currently undergoing Phase II evaluation in 420 patients.
In March AFFiRiS said data from a Phase I study with AD02 provided an early indication of efficacy. Nine of the 12 patients treated using an adjuvanted AD02 formulation demonstrated stabilization of cognitive parameters over the 18 month observation period, the firm reported. Additional immunological data further supported a potential correlation between post-vaccination antibody levels and cognitive function.
A second AD vaccine candidate, AD01, has also successfully completed a Phase I study, while a third, AD03, has completed preclinical development. In February GSK exercised its option to license two additional AD vaccine candidates, including AD03, following the completion of preclinical development.

In the most compelling news story of the century, pop star Lady Gaga and
reality star Kim Kardashian are fired up about the sex dolls apparently
made in their likenesses.
]]>affectionately named "Lady Gag Gag," we speculated that she'd probably find it amusing. We were wrong. Gaga has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit, forcing Pipedream Products to withdraw the product from shelves. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is also fuming over the company's "Kinky Kim Filthy Love Doll." The box describes Kinky Kim as a "busty bubble-butt bimbo who's had more dark meat inside her than a bucket of fried chicken." On the box, a model who bears a more-than-passing resemblance to Kardashian enjoys a burger, presumably playing off of Kardashian's racy Carls Jr. TV ad. Pipedream says "the similarity between the Kinky Kim doll and Ms. Kardashian is purely coincidental." Mmm-hmm. Who will be the next to serve Pipedream with legal papers? The company also carries a Beyonce doll, a "J. Ho" doll, "Dirty Christina," "Lindsay Fully Loaded," and a Guidette, complete with a Snooki-esque hair poof.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Starting a Lawn Care Business' started by boombaby3, Mar 22, 2012.
Long beds are good for clean ups with a topper.
Does anyone really think u need 40k to start out? I would think that is alot to invest without having any contracts yet. from what i hear is everyone starts out small and grows
The size of the lots determines the size of equipment. You can do most residentials with a nice 21. Get a small trailer, buy a new nice back pack blower do not go weak as this is were the speed is. Nice line trimmer, stick edger and go.
Think of your expansion cost and start banking that money. Think in terms of production and cost per hour over the life of the equipment. Consider the cost of a bookkeep, even if it is you or your wife later. Every aspect of the job needs to be paid. That way when you grow you will have those cost down.
Consider giving yourself a wage too as well as profit. At some point you may need to pay someone else those wages.
I don't think I'd be able to start up with just $5k. Then again, I started with ZERO when I was a kid just getting started. I guess I would put $500 down on a pickup, $500 down on a trailer, spend $1000 on a trimmer, edger and blower, put $500 down on a 52" zero turn, and then get business liability insurance. That will leave almost $2000 left for advertising. Get post cards, door hangers, business cards. Get simple lettering on your truck (logo, then city, gvw and DOT number). Maybe some Tshirts. Basically just use as much money as you can on as much advertising as you can to get as many customers as you can.
Just because your a 5k guy doesnt mean its a hobby, you have to start somewhere. Even the biggest companies started somewere. I dont agree with getting into debt right off the bat. Debt is tough, especailly when you dont know what kind of money you will be bringing in every month.
5k is definitely on the low side. I started 3 years ago, and waited til I had 8k cash, which was still not enough money after unforseen expenses. And I really only have a basic set-up, if you read my signature.
I thought I could get 2 nice WBs for 3k, which was wrong, I had found. You'll need at least 4k for 2 decent WBs. You want low hour used Mowers too. Buy blowers/weedwhackers/trimmers/chainsaw NEW tho. You will want 2 WBs in case 1 goes down. (it will happen). Pay cash, dont finance anything until the 2nd or 3rd year IMO.
I highly disagree that you need 40k to start tho. If I had done that, I would have sunk after the first year. With that kind of money, you could buy someone elses business tho I guess
if your smart 5k is plenty. i started with a white lawn tractor with a 44 inch deck. then i found one just like it but it had a bagger so i bought that. then i sold the pair of tractors and put a down payment on a toro time cutter 17/44 i used that for a few weeks it had no bagger so i bought the exact same machine with the bagger on it so i had two. then i sold both of those for 3500 and bought a cub cadet enforcer (JUNK!!!!!) that thing was a pile of crap so i sold that and bought a toro z master with a 48 inch deck and power bagger. This was all with in a year and a half lol and i just two weeks ago purchased a brand new toro z500... so i started with a white tractor and now i have two commercial zero turns.. it can be done if you play your cards right!!!! Let your work pay for your equipment
boom i know a guy in indiana that makes great trailors pm me ill get you his info real good prices too
Welcome Boombaby3. I am going to give you my 2 cents and hope it will help you out. I started OUT with a 21'' push sensation, echo weed wacker and a redmax blower. Please follow this tip because I learned this the hard way, DO NOT BUY A MACHINE IF YOUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP CANNOT GET THE PARTS OR JUST DONT WANT TO FIX THOSE MACHINES. I WOULD CHECK WITH THEM BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING. I bought a john deere self propelled mower after the senations motor was shot. I had to drive far to a john deere reapir shop because my local repair shop couldnt get a hold of the john deere parts. $5000 dollars is a lot of money and you should have money left over. Now typically every repair shop fixes echo weedwackers and redmax blowers. So you should spend no more than $350 doallars for a top of the line ECHO weewacker. They are the best in my opinion. I had to buy another REDMAX blower the other day and I spent $540 dollars on the #8001 top of the line blower. You cant go wrong with REDMAX blowers. Now with the mowers I have a 21'' senation that I bought a new motor for it, a 36'' bobcat walk behind, a 48'' bobcat, a a 48'' zero turn bobcat. My main machine is the 36'' bobcat because on this job you will see there are so many tight spaces that you have to get through. So if I was you I would first get a 21'' PUSH mower, self propel always breaks, and a 36'' BOBCAT as long as your local reapair shop can fix them and get parts easy. A friend of mine gave me the 48'' bobcat walkbehind and I replaced the engine for $1300. So you can easily get a nice WALKBEHIND for under $2000 on craig list or something. I actually paid $2500 last year for my zeroturn bobcat on ebay. If you need to get a walkbehind mower, you should get a nice trailer for under $1500.
This is just my 2 cents. These are just my opinions but I think if you follow most of my ideas you should be fine.
Make sure you have a decent vehicle that can also pull all of that weight too. Mowers, gas powered machines, tools etc. It all adds up.

ALBANY – A bill to encourage development of larger historic rehabilitation projects, especially in cities such as Buffalo, was sent to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday for his consideration – nearly six months after it was approved by the Legislature.
Developers in Buffalo already have said the bill, if approved, would get a number of stalled projects off the ground.
But the timing is not good. For starters, the bill was sponsored by Sen. Mark Grisanti, a Buffalo Republican whom Cuomo has politically supported. Observers believe if Cuomo was going to sign the bill, he would have done so before the November elections as a campaign present to Grisanti, who was criticized by his Democratic challenger during the race for not pushing Cuomo harder to sign the bill. Moreover, with Buffalo developers being the major promoters of the bill, some believe Cuomo would have signed it when he was in Buffalo on Tuesday.
It is uncertain what the state's costs would be under the bill, which would raise the existing cap on available state tax credits for certain historic rehabilitation projects from $5 million to $12 million.
Andrew Rudnick, president of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, said the bill would help development of abandoned and underutilized buildings in downtown urban areas and village centers.
"We encourage Gov. Cuomo to build on his record of accomplishment for Buffalo Niagara and sign this bill,'' he said.
The governor now has 10 days to veto or sign the bill.

|Here are some details about my project:
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this piece. Used a photo reference of head cast. Used Strathmore Toned Gray 400 Series 11 x 14. Mostly Graphite HB and 2B with a little 2H and 6B for shading. Also used Charcoal While and Black. I'm and working on building up my portrait drawing skills.
What are you most proud of? Finishing what I started with this one and pushing myself to improve my skills and finishing this. With a busy work schedule it was tempted to stop when I ran into the issues with the drawing. I kept at a little each day, correcting errors as I saw them along the way. Small beginnings. I'm looking forward to greater progress down the road.
Nice work. I would recommend keeping the shadows on the face consistent with the shadows under the jaw. Make them a similar value and it will be an even better drawing.
Thank you Rob for the invaluable feedback!
Really nice work!

I-728 taskforce to meet in early January
An I-728 taskforce, focused on 2002-2003, will convene beginning in early January 2002.
This committee will be comprised of 14 people, seven of whom participated on last year's committee. Their charge will be to look at how the I-728 funds are currently being spent and determine if next year's funds should be allocated in a similar way.
For 2001-2002, Northshore will receive approximately $3.7 million. Next year, the district anticipates receiving about $4 million.
The total dollar amount is tied to enrollment and increases on a per student basis from this year to next.
All meetings to discuss allocations for 2002-2003 are open to the public and will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Ricketts in Bothell. Meetings are tentatively scheduled for Jan. 9, 23, Feb. 6, 13,27, March 6.
The first reading to the school board will be March 12. The second reading is set for March 26.
In November 2000, voters in Washington state overwhelmingly approved Initiative 728, a Student Achievement Funding Initiative aimed at providing system-wide improvements to teaching and learning. The sources of this revenue were to come from state property tax, the state lottery until the 2004-2005 school year, and the emergency reserve fund spill over. Given all the financial challenges faced by the state, there is reason to believe that allocations beyond 2002-2003 might be non-existent.
In January, 2001, the school board voted to create a 20-member task force composed of staff, parents and community to study the initiative and gather input on the potential use of the funds. Three months later, the committee presented its recommendations to the School Board. Their plan represented a four-year phase in of resources and a recognition that changes in student achievement would take time. The investment of funds in specific programs for the first school year, 2001-2001, would set a baseline for new programs and future growth in student achievement.

POV: After Tiller
Monday, September 1 at 10:00 p.m.
Meet the doctors in the U.S. still openly performing third-trimester abortions in the wake of the assassination of Dr. George Tiller — and in the face of intense protesters.
This is a probing portrait of the four doctors in the United States still openly performing third-trimester abortions in the wake of the 2009 assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas — and in the face of intense protest from abortion opponents. It is also an examination of the desperate reasons women seek late abortions. Rather than offering solutions, "After Tiller" presents the complexities of these women's difficult decisions and the compassion and ethical dilemmas of the doctors and staff who fear for their own lives as they treat their patients.

Dornford Yates was the pseudonym of the English novelist, Cecil William Mercer (7 August 1885 – 5 March 1960), whose novels and short stories, some humorous (the Berry books), some thrillers (the Chandos books), were best-sellers in the 21-year interwar period between the First and Second world wars. The pen name, Dornford Yates, first in print in 1910, resulted from combining the surnames of his grandmothers – the paternal Eliza Mary Dornford, and the maternal Harriet Yates.
Early life[edit]
William (Bill) Mercer was born in Walmer, Kent, the son of Cecil John Mercer (1850–1921) and Helen Wall (1858–1918). His father was a solicitor whose sister, Mary Frances, married Charles Augustus Munro; their son was Hector Hugh Munro (the writer Saki); Bill Mercer is said to have idolised his elder cousin.
Mercer attended St Clare preparatory school in Walmer from 1894 to 1899. The family moved from Kent to London when he joined Harrow School as a day pupil in 1899, his father selling his solicitor's practice in Kent and setting up office in Carey Street. Leaving Harrow in 1903, he attended University College, Oxford in 1904, where he achieved a Third in Law.
At university, he was active in the Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS), becoming secretary in 1906 and president in 1907, his final year. He acted in the 1905 production of Aristophanes' The Clouds, of which the Times reviewer said: "Among individual actors the best was Mr. C.W. Mercer, whose 'Strepsiades' was full of fun, and who possesses real comic talent." [1] After a small part in the 1906 production of Measure for Measure, in his final year, he appeared as 'Demetrius' in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and as 'Pedant' in The Taming of the Shrew,[2] a production which included the professional actresses Lily Brayton as 'Katherine', and her sister Agnes as 'Bianca'.[2][3]
Among the many useful friends Mercer made in the OUDS were Gervais Rentoul, who asked him to be his best man,[4] and Lily Brayton's husband, actor Oscar Asche, later producer of the play Kismet, and writer of Chu Chin Chow. After university, Mercer took a caravanning holiday in Hampshire, with Asche, Lily, Agnes, and another theatrical couple, Matheson Lang and his wife, Hutin Britton; Asche and Lang recall that holiday in their respective memoirs.[5][6]
Mercer's third-class Oxford law degree was insufficient to gain him traditional access to the bar. However, in 1908 his father obtained his son a post as pupil to a prominent barrister, H.G. Muskett, whose practice often required his appearing in court on behalf of the police commissioner. As Muskett's pupil, Mercer saw much of the seedy side of London life, some of which is evident in his novels.
In 1909, he was called to the Bar where he worked for several years. In his first memoirs, As Berry & I Were Saying, he recalls his involvement in the trial of the poisoner Hawley Harvey Crippen, when he returned from acting with the Old Stagers, at Canterbury, to have first look at the legal brief. Mercer is in a photograph of the Bow Street Court committal proceedings, published in the Daily Mirror of 30 August 1910.
In his spare time, he wrote short stories that were published in Punch, The Harmsworth RED Magazine, Pearson's Magazine, and the Windsor Magazine, maintaining a relationship with this last until the end of the 1930s; after it closed he wrote for the Strand Magazine. He also assisted in the writing of What I Know (Mills & Boon, 1913) - US title King Edward As I Knew Him - the memoirs of C.W. Stamper, who had been motor engineer to King Edward VII.
The Great War and afterwards[edit]
At the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, Mercer joined the County of London Yeomanry[clarification needed] and was commissioned as Second Lieutenant, although his stories continued to appear in the Windsor until March 1915. In 1915, his regiment left for Egypt and, in November 1915 as part of the 8th Mounted Brigade, he was sent to the Salonika/Macedonian front where the war was in stalemate. Suffering severe muscular rheumatism he was sent home in 1917 and, although he was still in uniform, the War Office did not again post him. He eventually left the army in 1919. In June of that year the Windsor carried his first story since the end of the war.
Since 1914, the Mercer family home had been "Elm Tree Road" in St John's Wood, where his friends Oscar and Lily Asche were close neighbours. In autumn of 1919, he and Asche combined to write the stage show Eastward Ho!, but the production was not a great success and he did not again attempt to write for the stage. A frequent social – and then romantic – Elm Tree Road visitor was Bettine (Athalia) Stokes Edwards, an American girl who danced in Chu Chin Chow (and daughter of Robert Ewing Edwards of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) who became Mercer's first wife.[7] The New York Times announcement of their engagement (28 August 1919) states: "Mr & Mrs Glover Fitzhugh Perin of 57 West Fifty-eight street have announced the engagement of Mrs Perin's oldest daughter Miss Bettine Stokes Edwards. . . ." suggesting that her father either was dead or divorced; her remarried mother then lived in New York City. Mercer and Bettine married at St James, Spanish Place, in the Marylebone district of London, on 22 October 1919. The month of October also marked the appearance of a story in the Windsor called Valerie whose female lead made a living as a dancer; this story never appeared in book form.
Mercer decided not to return to the bar, and to concentrate on his writing. He and Bettine lived in Elm Tree Road, where their only child, Richard, was born on 20 July 1920. After the Great War, many ex-officers found that the rise in the cost of living in London precluded maintaining the style of life of a gentleman to which they had become accustomed; some looked beyond England. In 1922, the Mercers emigrated to France, where it was possible to live more cheaply, and where the climate was kinder to Mercer's muscular rheumatism.
French residence[edit]
They chose the resort town Pau, in the western Pyrenees, in the Basses–Pyrénées département (now Pyrénées-Atlantiques) — where lived a sizable British expat colony, but when the Mercers moved in is unknown. In Dornford Yates – A Biography (1982), A.J. Smithers[2] reports "exactly how he hit upon the place is not clear", but Pau figures several times in the memoirs he is presumed to have ghost-written for C.W. Stamper, and so that might be the answer — "anywhere good enough for King Edward VII was good enough for him".
They rented the Villa Maryland, on Rue Forster, where Mercer proved an exacting husband, while Bettine was a social woman, and by 1929, the failure of their marriage was evident. Bettine had been indiscreet in her extra-marital romantic liaisons, and Mercer sued for divorce. Bettine did not defend, and the divorce was made absolute in September 1933. In the event, she returned to her family in the U.S.
Less than a year later, on 10 February 1934, at Chertsey Register office, Mercer married Doreen Elizabeth Lucie Bowie, whom he met on a cruise in 1932. She was the daughter of London solicitor David Mather Bowie of Virginia Water.[7] Elizabeth was twenty years younger than her new husband, who felt he had met the incarnation of his fictional "Jill Mansel", thus did he call her "Jill" for the rest of his life. For him, Villa Maryland had many memories of Bettine, so he and Elizabeth decided to build a new house, named "Cockade". They chose a spot twenty miles south of Pau, near Eaux-Bonnes, on the route to the Spanish frontier: the project is related in The House That Berry Built, wherein the name of the house is "Gracedieu" (God's Grace). They did not enjoy long residence in Cockade.
With France falling to the Wehrmacht in June 1940, the Mercers hurriedly arranged caretakers for Cockade, and then escaped the country – in company of visiting friends, Matheson Lang and wife – and traversed Spain en route to Portugal. They subsequently took ship for South Africa, arriving in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia, in 1941.[2]
The Second World War and the Rhodesian years[edit]
C.W. Mercer was re-commissioned in the Royal Rhodesian Regiment, and attained the rank of major. As the war concluded, the couple realised their plan of returning to Cockade – but were disappointed in the decrepitude of the house and the socially conscious, post-war attitude of their one-time servants. After some months, the Mercers obtained exit visas and returned to Umtali, Southern Rhodesia, (now Mutare, Zimbabwe), where they lived for the rest of his life. Mercer supervised the building of a replacement house for Cockade, another hillside venture, and, in 1948, they moved into "Sacradown", on Oak Avenue. The furniture in France was shipped to Rhodesia, as were the Waterloo Bridge balusters (see The House that Berry Built), which had never reached Cockade, but had been stored in England during the Second World War.
Cecil William Mercer died in March 1960.
Mercer originally wrote short stories for the monthly magazines. His first known published work, Temporary Insanity, appeared in Punch in May 1910 – this is the first known occasion of his use of his pen name – and his second, Like A Tale That is Told appeared in the Red Magazine in July 1910. The first known Berry story to be published, Babes in the Wood, appeared in Pearsons Magazine in September 1910. None of these early stories was ever included in his books. Many of his works began as stories in the Windsor Magazine, before being collected in book form by the Windsor's publishers, Ward Lock. Between September 1911 and September 1939 he had 123 stories published in the Windsor, and after it closed, the Strand Magazine carried three of his stories in 1940 and 1941. Four of his novels were serialised in Woman's Journal between 1933 and 1938. In the United States four of his novels were serialized in Woman's Home Companion between 1933 and 1939, while others appeared in The Saturday Evening Post and Blue Book.
His first story for the Windsor Magazine was Busy Bees, in September 1911, and this and fourteen subsequent stories from that publication up to the July 1914 issue were republished in book form as The Brother of Daphne, in 1914. Some of the stories were edited for the book, to eliminate events, such as marriage, for the leading characters – which suggests that, originally, he had not planned on using the same characters for a story series. The narrator – later identified as "Boy Pleydell" — marries in Babes in the Wood and possibly in Busy Bees, which became The Busy Beers, a chapter in The Brother of Daphne, with the end of the story altered to remove the hint of marriage.
His second book, The Courts of Idleness, was published in 1920, containing material written before, during, and after the Great War. It was divided into three sections. In Book I Yates introduced a new set of characters similar to, but separate from, Berry & Co, in four stories that had appeared in the Windsor between December 1914 and March 1915, and a final story from the Windsor of June 1919 in which the male characters are killed off in Salonika, during the Great War. The Interlude has a story entitled And The Other Left, from the November 1914 Windsor, which is set on the Western Front with a unique set of characters. Book II returns to the Berry characters, with two pre-war stories from the August and September 1914 Windsor, and three post-war stories from the issues of July, August and September 1919. The book's final story, Nemesis, was written for, and rejected by, Punch; subsequently, it appeared in the Windsor in November 1919, with the main character named "Jeremy"; for the book he became "Berry". Nemesis was written to the Punch length, and so is much shorter than most of the other stories in The Courts of Idleness.
The Berry books are semi-autobiographical, humorous romances, often in short story form, and, in particular, feature Bertram "Berry" Pleydell ("of White Ladies, in the County of Hampshire") and his family – his wife and cousin, Daphne, her brother, Boy Pleydell (the narrator), and their cousins Jonathan "Jonah" Mansel, and his sister, Jill. Collectively, they are "Berry & Co." Although all five appear in Babes in the Wood, their precise relationships are unstated, and Berry and Daphne are referred to as second cousins as late as Jonah & Co; later stories feature a simple family tree, showing them to be first cousins descended from two brothers and a sister.
"Berry & Co." capture the English upper classes of the Edwardian era, still self-assured, but affected by changing social attitudes and the decline of their fortunes. As in many of Yates' books, grand houses, powerful motor cars, and foreign travel feature prominently in the Berry stories. In the 1950s, C.W. Mercer wrote two books of fictionalized memoirs, As Berry and I were Saying and B-Berry and I Look Back, written as conversations between Berry and his family. They contain many anecdotes about his experiences as a lawyer, but are, in the main, an elegy for a passed upper-class way of life.
The Chandos books, starting with Blind Corner, in 1927, marked a change in style and content, being thrillers set mainly in Continental Europe (often in Carinthia, Austria), wherein the hero–narrator, Richard Chandos, and colleagues, including George Hanbury and Jonathan Mansel (who also featured in the Berry books), tackle criminals, protect the innocent, romance beautiful ladies, and hunt for treasure. These were originally published by Hodder and Stoughton although later they were re-issued by Ward Lock. It is the Chandos novels to which Alan Bennett especially refers in naming Dornford Yates in the play Forty Years On (1972): "Sapper, Buchan, Dornford Yates, practitioners in that school of Snobbery with Violence that runs like a thread of good-class tweed through twentieth-century literature." Yates also wrote other thrillers in the same style, but with different characters.
Besides the two genres in which he specialised, some of Yates' novels do not easily fall into either the humorous or the thriller category.
Anthony Lyveden was Dornford Yates's first novel, telling the story of an impoverished ex-officer; it ends in a cliff-hanger. Originally, it was published in monthly instalments in the Windsor Magazine,
Valerie French, the sequel to Anthony Lyveden features mostly the same cast. At the start of the book Lyveden is suffering amnesia, and cannot recall the events of the previous book, leading to romantic complications.
The Stolen March is a fantasy set in a lost realm, between Spain and France, where travellers encounter characters from nursery rhymes and fairy tales. A planned sequel, The Tempered Wind, is referred to in the quasi-autobiography, B-Berry and I Look Back, where Yates mentions abandoning the book as it failed to "take charge".
This Publican features a scheming woman and her hen-pecked husband. Some critics have suggested that the portrayal of the villainess represented a thinly veiled attack on Mercer's first wife; however it is difficult to believe that the weak-willed husband is intended as a self-portrait.
Lower than Vermin (the title derives from Socialist politician Aneurin Bevan's description of members of the Conservative party) is a novel in which Mercer defends his views on social class, and criticises the path Britain was following under the post-war Labour government.
Ne'er-Do-Well is a murder story narrated by Richard Chandos, with whom the investigating policeman is staying; it features a visiting Jonathan Mansel.
Wife Apparent attempts to portray "Dornford Yates's" type of people in a 1950s setting; given that they remain essentially Edwardian in outlook, this novel is only partly successful.

Stage, cinema, and other media[edit]
The 1919 musical play Eastward Ho! was written by Oscar Asche (author) with lyrics by Dornford Yates and music by Grace Torrens and John Ansell. It was produced by Edward Laurillard and George Grossmith Jr, and opened at the Alhambra Theatre in London on 9 September and ran for 124 performances.
Although none of Yates's books has yet been filmed for the cinema, the BBC produced an adaptation of She Fell Among Thieves in 1977, featuring Malcolm McDowell as Chandos, Michael Jayston as Mansel, and Eileen Atkins as Vanity Fair.
An episode of the ITV Hannay series, "A Point of Honour", was based on the eponymous short story published in The Brother of Daphne, but the source was uncredited.
An audiobook edition of Blind Corner, read by Alan Rickman, was produced by Chivers Audio Books, but is currently out of print.
The 1973 novel Indecent Exposure by Tom Sharpe plays a lot upon the 'Englishman' that Dornford Yates created in his novels. There is a group of characters in the novel who style themselves as the 'Dornford Yates' club and who try to emulate the 'Master' in avoiding reality and a changing world.

Take the brilliant Cambridge University cosmologist Stephen Hawking, best-selling author of A Brief History of Time. At a summer conference on gravitation and relativity in Dublin, Hawking, communicating via a computer because of his affliction with Lou Gehrig's disease, reversed a position he has held for close to 30 years, concluding that black holes do not consume information but eventually disintegrate and discharge matter and information. Hawking believes that energy and "information" consumed by black holes is eventually returned to the universe, albeit in "mangled form."
Hawking's surprising admission settled a wager he had made with Caltech physicist John Preskill. The price was a copy of the Total Baseball encyclopedia — because information can be retrieved from an encyclopedia at any time. Hawking joked, "I offered him an encyclopedia of cricket as an alternative, but John wouldn't be persuaded of the superiority of cricket." Another slight drawback of his new calculation, Hawking concluded, is that "if information is preserved, there is no possibility of using black holes to travel to other universes."Genomic Information
Another titan of 20th-century science, Francis Crick, passed away in July. Crick's celebrated discovery of the double helix with James Watson in 1953 immediately suggested a mechanism for the transmission of biological information from generation to generation. Crick defined molecular biology's "central dogma" — the irreversible flow of information from DNA to protein — and helped crack the genetic code.
In 1976, Crick sensibly left the United Kingdom for the sunny shores of Southern California and the Salk Institute, turning his vast intellect to the mysteries of the brain and theories of consciousness. "I decided it was probably better not to do experiments," he once said, wisely sticking to theory. Crick argued that dreams are tantamount to "cerebral housecleaning," helping the memory to store information more efficiently. In other words, he said, "we dream in order to forget."Clinical Information
The problem in the research arena is often how to extract information from data. IBM is spelling out its philosophy of information-based medicine — the application of IT to integrate clinical information, including patient records and family and medical histories, with genomic data. Big Blue's new Clinical Genomics Solution aims to help physicians and medical researchers "bridge the gap between clinical research and patient care" by offering "services and technology to identify the molecular mechanisms of disease and ultimately develop more personalized medicine."
But elsewhere in the clinical realm, the problem is not how to extract information from medical histories, but from the companies themselves. Medical organizations, journal editors, and politicians are lobbying for a public registry of clinical trial data of both government- and industry-sponsored trials. (The NCBI repository at ClinicalTrials.gov appears to be the most logical choice.) However, this requires federal legislation and mechanisms to ensure the validity of the submitted information, so it will not happen overnight.
"We have entered the knowledge age," proclaimed the presidents of Harvard University and MIT, Lawrence Summers and Charles Vest, in a recent newspaper op-ed column. Not so fast. "There is an overestimation of what people think we know," said NIH director Elias Zerhouni at last month's Drug Discovery Technology conference. "I think we need to be humble, and we need to continue to work, not pretending that we have made all the basic science advances that we need to make ... Something is missing in the equation, and that something is knowledge."

Try a black cat with white or red ears! A white cat with pink ears! Do you have a cat at home? Make one to look like him or her! The face is optional too! Perfect on any little munchkin or toddler noggin! Great photo prop for boys or girls! Soft acrylic yarn will make it easy to machine wash, gentle cycle, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. This is an advanced beginner or better pattern. You will need to know the knit stitch, knit 2 stitches together, make one, joining another color yarn, knitting in the round on double pointed needles. Color photos included! All my patterns give options for yarns available in your local Hobby Lobby, Michael's , JoAnn's or Wal Mart! You can certainly use your yummy stash for any of my designs and I am always available for help!
