A Violinist's Deathbed Confession Solves the 51-Year Riddle of a Stolen Stradivarius
That same day, only a few weeks before his death from cancer, the 69-year-old violinist asked his wife, Marcelle Hall, to take special care of his old, grime-darkened violin. "Take it home, put it to bed," he said insistently. Sensing the urgency in his voice, Hall took the instrument from his hands, returned to her Bethel, Conn, home and immediately searched the violin case. Tucked away inside the canvas cover were some yellowed, crumbling newspaper clips about the mysterious disappearance of a Stradivarius violin. The missing instrument, made in 1713 in the Cremona, Italy, workshop of Antonio Stradivari, history's greatest violin maker, was among the finest in the world. It had been stolen in 1936 from the Carnegie Hall dressing room of Polish virtuoso Bronislaw Huberman.
Puzzled, Hall gently asked the dying Altman if his violin was the missing Strad. Altman nodded, then explained how he had bought it for $100 the night of the theft from a man who—as Hall recalls her husband's description—bore an uncanny resemblance to Altman himself. "Whether or not he actually stole it, no one will ever know," she says. "Maybe it was just his way of telling the truth, for once in his life."
In the course of her turbulent, 17-year relationship with Altman, Hall, 69, had come to think of him as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character—at times a charmer, at times an untrustworthy, womanizing scoundrel. Still, she was stunned by the realization that he had left her holding a precious piece of stolen property. Fearful of the legal complexities, she consulted violin experts and lawyers before concluding a deal for return of the Strad this spring, which includes a substantial reward for herself. Since violinist Huberman, the rightful owner, had received a $30,000 insurance payment for his loss (he died in Switzerland in 1947), the Stradivarius belonged to the insurers, a Lloyd's of London syndicate. Charles Beare, a British Stradivarius specialist, traveled to Hall's home to identify the long-lost Huberman Strad. "It's like looking at a Rembrandt," said Beare. He later carried the million-dollar instrument back to London for restoration and eventual resale.
With the Strad rediscovered, Altman's former colleagues and admirers are wondering anew about the man whose career rested on a crime that, as music lovers, they found abhorrent. For five decades he had brazenly played in public, dazzling concertgoers, nightclubbers and countless notables with the pure tones of his stolen treasure. Former Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, one of Alt-man's many fans, even wrote to him, "You make your violin talk, sing and radiate happiness. I'm proud to be your friend."
Why, with his talents earning such accolades, did Altman have to risk disgrace? "He was a man with two faces," says Hall of the husband who first wooed her in 1968 by playing Lara's Theme from the movie Doctor Zhivago. Hall says the dark side of his nature was fully revealed in a Connecticut courtroom five months prior to his death, when he was sent to prison for sexually molesting Hall's granddaughter.
She recalls Altman telling her that even as a child, going to violin classes, he felt different from other kids. One of three children from an immigrant Russian-Jewish family, he was raised in Washington, D.C. and then New York City by a strong-willed mother who was determined to propel her son into the music and stage limelight. She was forever pushing him to practice the violin, once even breaking one over his head because he wouldn't play.
At 9 he entered a school of music in Washington, later performing in recitals and winning several competitions. His parents were divorced when he was 12, and though he continued to study classical music under various teachers, he was also gambling small change in back-room card games. Several years after the 1936 Stradivarius theft, Altman won a spot with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington. "He was an excellent musician, maybe virtuoso quality," says Robert D'Arcy, a former band leader who knew Altman after he left the symphony to play in nightclubs. "Who knew what kind of violin he was playing? He was such a friendly guy, it's the last thing anyone would have thought about."
Other musicians recall Altman as a smiling ladies' man with a peculiar, and sometimes nasty, streak of humor. "He once set me up with a blind date," says TV producer and director Fred Von Stange, "and she really was blind. But that was Julian." Hall thinks that Altman's first wife of 35 years probably ignored his infidelities. The marriage ended in divorce, and Altman's conduct "should have warned me about his true nature," says Hall, "but I was either in love or obsessed with the man and his music."
Hall believes Altman traded a serious concert career for a table-hopping club performer's life because, she says, "He couldn't stand being second fiddle. In the clubs he could get all the applause for himself." Altman's tragedy, Hall suggests, was that he "never really knew if he was a great violinist or if it was just his mother telling him he was. Maybe he should have stuck with a cheaper violin. He might have been happier. Perhaps he never grew up himself, was never truly fulfilled, even with the Strad," Hall muses.
Sometimes he seemed to be tempting fate to rob him of his irreplaceable Stradivarius. After running through his hackneyed repertoire of pop and gypsy tunes, Altman would leave the violin on tables and piano tops, practically inviting people to verify his boast that it was "a great violin." No one believed him, and perhaps such lighthearted remarks were his best cover. Still, at night he would always sleep with the violin by the side of his bed. "He had horrible nightmares about it being burned, stolen, forgotten or broken," Hall remembers. "Another odd thing was that he never practiced, hated it. And after we started seeing each other, he never wanted to play or listen to classical music. He'd just say, 'I've played all that stuff.' "
In the late 1970s, Hall says, his drinking and gambling, especially with stocks, became a major problem. Once, in a stupor, he beat her, breaking two of her ribs. She says that by the time they moved to Connecticut with her daughter and two granddaughters in 1982, Altman was reduced to a shabby shadow of his former self. He played for a while with regional orchestras and at home could still wow the children with the Brahms Lullaby or another favorite, Sunrise, Sunset, from Fiddler on the Roof.
It was during this period that Altman began molesting the oldest grandchild, then 6. After she told her mother, he was arrested, tried and sentenced to one year in jail. He had served only three weeks when he was hospitalized, terminally ill. Hall's anger at her treatment has not abated with her husband's death. She buried his ashes "in a $5 golf trophy I bought at a rummage sale."
Despite their bitterness toward Altman, Hall says she and her family can at least point to a final, generous gesture in his will. In accordance with his wishes, Hall donated his remaining five violins and an extensive music collection to the Harlem School of the Arts. "His last words on the subject," says Hall, "were that someone truly worthy should have what he left behind."

Thanksgiving is fast approaching for us Canadians (next Monday), so tonight I experimented with a few dishes to prepare for our holiday meal with family. This dish is easy to make and tastes great (and is a great way to get kids to eat squash), and is also easy to blog. I am spending tonight working on my cookbook, so I will leave the more complicated dish for tomorrow's post.
- equal parts of:
- peeled and cubed potatoes
- cauliflower florets
- peeled and de-seeded squash, chopped
- water
- margarine
- salt and pepper
1. Place all veggies in a large pot (quantity will vary depending on how many people you are planning to serve). Cover with water, cover pot with a lid, then bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 mins, or until veggies are good and soft. Drain well.
2. Add a large spoonful of margarine to the pot, then mash well with a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

The seven parts of this monograph deal with recreational research, its problems, trends and source; with the recent expansion of leisure; with the changing tide of recreation; with recreation facilities under governmental auspices; with community organization for leisure; with recreation as a business enterprise, and, finally, with the future of recreation. The principal conclusion at which the study arrives is that factual information about recreation is inadequate and unreliable. The committee believes that leisure time, while increased during the depression, has not been increased uniformly for the whole people and that there has been, in fact, some decrease in leisure time. There has been as a result of the depression considerable decrease in recreational facilities in spite of the fact that certain relief projects have been in the field of recreation. Commercial recreation has fared surprisingly well during the depression in comparison with other forms of business. Typical of the

Let's put trust back into education system
There seems to be an increased awareness of the role of testing in schools, particularly in grades three through eight. Parents are having their children "opt out" of testing, we read daily stories of the grueling test preparation, and now the actual testing.
As a teacher educator at SUNY Buffalo State, I have the privilege of spending significant time in local elementary schools while my teachers-in-training hone their skills. What I see are brilliant teachers working incredibly hard and teaching exceptional lessons. This didn't happen by accident. Over the past few years, standards have been raised both for students and teachers. But now I see a system under great strain. We have gone too far, and it is obvious to anyone who spends time in the schools. Because of the laser-like focus on reading and math, there is little time for much else. Recess, science and social studies are now the lowly stepsisters of reading and math.
An interesting comparison to our education system is Finland. In world rankings, Finland is consistently in the top two or three countries in literacy, math and science. Yet it doesn't have any standardized testing until late in high school. It has fewer school days and fewer hours in each school day. There are many differences, but one stands out: Its system is based on trust and ours is based on distrust.
In Finland, teachers are trained well in a rigorous system and then trusted to know best what will work in their classroom. Music, recess and science are as important as reading and math. Principals are trusted to know what is best for their particular school and given great autonomy. This atmosphere leads to schools that are productive, professional and pleasant.
Compare that with our system based on distrust. We don't trust our teachers, so we give them a scripted curriculum and put children through days of testing while ignoring what the teacher, who has spent hundreds of hours with the children, can tell us about their strengths and weaknesses. We don't trust our school administrators, so we put in place a teacher evaluation system that mandates how the principals evaluate their teachers. Let's put trust back into our education system.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a first-person account about a West Brighton resident's experience growing up with hoarders as parents. She wishes to remain anonymous to respect the privacy of herself and her family.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- I thought my story would be easy to tell. After all, hoarding was a big part of my life for more than 20 years and, in a way, still is. But when I started to think about it, I realized it wasn't so simple. How can I explain what it was like growing up with parents who didn't like to throw things away? How can I relate the embarrassment and pain it caused on an almost daily basis?
As far back as I can remember, my house was messy. As a child, it didn't necessarily strike me as a bad thing. I liked having all the McDonald's Happy Meal toys and baskets filled with stuffed animals. What kid wouldn't?
I first realized all these possessions might be a problem when a neighborhood teenager was baby-sitting my sister and me. She started to organize our room and asked us if we were comfortable with all of the stuff we had around.
As the years went on, my parents, particularly my mother, accumulated more and more. There were collectible items like ceramic plates and figurines, toys, piles of mail, craft supplies and much, much more. Most surfaces were covered, and any effort to organize or throw away items just resulted with more things being placed in their absence.
As the piles grew, so did my shame. I wanted to have friends over, but only would let a select few enter our house. Any time the doorbell rang, I'd rush out and quickly shut the door, not wanting anyone to peek in.
My sister and I were taunted by neighborhood children who were able to get a glimpse into our house or heard from other kids what the inside looks like. "It's not me," I wanted to shout. But it wouldn't have made a difference. I still lived amid the mess.
In junior high and high school, I would try to clean my room and toss things in the trash. But my mother would just go through the garbage and pick out the things I had thrown away. It was frustrating and we fought often.
With high school came dating, another uncomfortable situation. I would tell boys I wasn't allowed to date just so they wouldn't come to my house. I preferred wandering around the neighborhood with them to letting them inside. What if they no longer liked me?
A few boyfriends were eventually allowed in. I would try to clean extensively before they came over, but it didn't do much.
When my now-husband first saw my house, I had warned him about what he would see. Still, he was shocked. He is a self-described minimalist, and I only can imagine what went through his mind.
College was a release. Finally, I had my own untainted space. Sure, I was messy – I was a college student, after all – but it was nothing compared to what I had been living in. I could have friends in my dorm room and didn't have to worry about what they would think. Most of the guys' rooms were worse than mine anyway.
I had, and still have, a close-knit group of girlfriends from college, and it didn't take long for them to realize that during vacations, mine was the only house they never visited. I slowly opened up to them about why.
After graduation, I moved back home. I didn't have a full-time job yet and barely had any savings. It was grueling. I spent a majority of the time at work or my husband's house, where I found refuge. I was lucky to have that.
As soon as I saved enough money, I moved out and only have been back to visit a handful of times. Just setting foot in the house stresses me out; it appears to be worse each time I visit. I probably haven't been inside in over a year and don't know when I'll attempt going again.
I tried talking about the issue numerous times with my parents, but the conversations are fruitless. My mom's response is always the same: She either doesn't have the time, is working on it slowly or just needs to give some stuff away. I think after all these years, my dad has given up totally.
It's frustrating and exhausting, but as the years have gone by, I've started to understand that hoarding is a mental illness. I've learned that to my mom, every item has special meaning. I think it may be rooted in her childhood, but it's hard to say, since she won't admit she has a problem.
I've become more comfortable talking about hoarding, but still want to remain anonymous for my own and my parents' sake. Many of my friends know about my childhood, and I've even found some people who have been in similar situations.
I think shows like A&E's "Hoarders" and TLC's "Hoarding: Buried Alive" have opened up people's eyes to this illness. I used to watch the former, but stopped when it became too painful. I related to many of the children on the show, who feel they have no where else to turn.
I joke with my sister, who still lives at home, about putting our parents on one of these shows. But I am truly afraid of my mother's reaction.
My husband, who was fearful at first that I would be a hoarder, helps me deal with the stress I still feel over my parents' problem.
Most children worry about their parents' deaths because they know it will leave an emptiness inside them. For me, it's the opposite. As horrible as it may sound, I stress about what to do with what they leave behind.
Maybe my parents will take it to heart and change once I have children and won't allow them to enter their house if it's still in such a state. Maybe one day they'll be forced to clean out the house or face eviction.
Or, maybe, as I used to dream when I was younger, they'll wake up one day and realize how serious the problem has become.

Erie tied to Notre Dame
Laura Krahe's interest in joining a college club has taken her on an unexpected path -- all the way to college football's national championship game.
Krahe, a graduate of Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy, is a senior at Saint Mary's College, the sister school to the University of Notre Dame.
"One day during my freshman year they had clubs available for students of both schools," she said. "I signed up as a trainer and was a volunteer as a freshman. They chose seven out of fifteen to become full-time student trainers, and I was selected to work with the football team."
Four years later, Krahe is in Miami for one of the most anticipated games in college football history. She will be on the sidelines at Sun Life Stadium on Monday night when Notre Dame plays the University of Alabama in the Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game.
Krahe is just one of many Erie natives with ties to the Notre Dame football program. From former Fighting Irish players to Notre Dame administrators to hard-core fans, Erie has plenty of representation among the Notre Dame's Blue Gold Nation.
Few have had a better vantage point than Krahe to watch Notre Dame's rise to No. 1 in the college rankings.
"It has been an amazing experience," said Krahe, a nursing major. "It's surreal to see everything on television about the team and the players when I've gotten to know all of them as a trainer," Krahe said. "They are great guys, and I've been fortunate to work with guys like coach Brian Kelly, (linebacker) Manti Te'o and (tight end) Tyler Eifert. They are just normal guys, and to see how this team has grown over the past few years has been such an amazing experience."
Two former football players from Cathedral Preparatory School also have an intimate interest in Notre Dame's championship quest. Mike McCoy and Pat Steenberge each starred for Prep in the 1960s before heading to Notre Dame.
"I think this has been a magical year for Notre Dame," Steenberge said. "It really has created a lot of interest and communication among former players. We aren't quite the Facebook generation, but we are communicating by e-mail and it's been a lot of fun. I always get together with my teammates from the 1970s, but a season like this brings players together from every decade."�"
Steenberge played quarterback for Notre Dame in the early 1970s and graduated in 1973. He just missed out on a national championship. Notre Dame won a national title in the fall of 1973 after Steenberge passed on an opportunity to play for one more year after a leg injury kept him out during his senior season.
"They actually offered me a medical redshirt as a senior, which would have given me one more year of eligibility. If I knew that meant a national championship, I definitely would have stuck around,"�"Steenberge said with a laugh.
McCoy didn't miss out on a title with the Irish. He was a defensive lineman at Notre Dame for the 1966 national championship and was the Green Bay Packers' first pick in the 1970 NFL Draft.
"Those of us that were there for the 1966 national championship have never lost connection over the years, but a season like this definitely increases the interest," McCoy said. "It makes everything fun. This wasn't expected this season, but I think Coach (Brian) Kelly has done a great job turning the program around."
McCoy and Steenberge said this Notre Dame team has some special qualities. McCoy, for instance, had a touching personal experience with All-American linebacker Manti Te'o, who placed second in this season's Heisman Trophy voting.
"I met Manti Te'o at the Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet with my wife (Kia),"�"said McCoy, who now lives in Jefferson, Ga. "We had never met him before and he helped my wife into her seat. She has been battling cancer and just to see Manti help a complete stranger was great. I'm very disappointed he didn't win the Heisman Trophy."
Steenberge was able to watch the Fighting Irish play this season long before they were considered a national title contender. He watched the Irish's season-opening 50-10 victory over Navy Sept. 1 in Ireland.
"In the preseason no one gave them a chance," he said. "I was over in Ireland for their first game and you could see how special the team was on and off the field."
Steenberge is the owner and operator of Global Football, which is a sports special events and international travel organization. It provides the opportunity for amateur athletes from different countries to compete against each other.
"We took eight high schools, two Division III colleges and two Canadian colleges over to Ireland," Steenberge said. "They played a series of games before Notre Dame played Navy and it was a great experience all around."
Steenberge was fortunate enough to acquire two tickets for the national championship game, but his duties with the American College Football Coaches Association will prevent him from going. The ACFCA has a convention in Nashville, Tenn., today until Wednesday. The head coach of the national champion, either Kelly at Notre Dame or Nick Saban at Alabama, will head to Nashville Tuesday to receive an award from the ACFCA.
Steenberge decided to give his two tickets to his son, Brier, a 2010 Notre Dame graduate who is in the Navy.
McCoy, 64, is the founder of Mike McCoy Ministries Inc., and speaks to students at Catholic schools across the country about making good decisions.
One of McCoy's fondest Notre Dame memories includes another showdown with Alabama.
While with the Green Bay Packers, McCoy had a teammate, Scott Hunter, who had been a quarterback at Alabama. The two made a friendly bet when Notre Dame and Alabama met in the 1973 Sugar Bowl. Notre Dame was ranked No. 1 at the time and Alabama was No. 2, meaning the winner would claim the national championship.
"We had a friendly 20 dollar bet going on the game,"�"McCoy said. "At halftime, it was looking pretty good for Notre Dame, but he was so confident that he wanted to increase it to 40 bucks. I agreed and Notre Dame won 24-23. I called his house after the game, and his wife said that he left the house and wasn't talking to anybody. It has been 40 years and I'm still waiting to collect that 40 bucks."
Erie resident Herb Down, 73, has been an ardent Notre Dame fan his entire life. Despite the long drive to South Bend, Ill., he has missed only five home games in the past 27 years.
"When I was a kid, we couldn't watch the games on television," Down said. "My dad and my brothers and I would have to listen on the radio and we couldn't get a signal inside the house. We'd have to go out on the porch each week and put wires in certain places and did everything we could to listen to every game. We are definitely a Notre Dame family."
In 1977, Down was watching a game on television with his son, who asked if they could go to a game. Down packed his family into his station wagon with sleeping bags and drove to South Bend without tickets but with hope of acquiring some.
Down began attending one or two games a year. Then, after watching Notre Dame win the 1988 national championship, he committed himself to go to every home game.
"I used to take different people to games, and now I get phone calls asking if I have tickets every year," said Down, who will not attend Monday's title game.
"There's nothing like being at Notre Dame football games, and it's killing me that I can't get to Miami," he said last week. "I just have too many financial commitments coming up, including a trip to South Bend to see a hockey game and two basketball games in one weekend, the Big East basketball tournament, the spring football game and a trip to Disney World with my grandkids."
One of Down's most cherished memories was experiencing the 1988 national championship.
"My two older sons, Scott Malpass and I all went to the final game and stayed with the team," Down said. "(Former Notre Dame offensive line coach) Joe Moore had a nice party there, and it was just a great experience all around."
Down coached his son's baseball team, which included Malpass, a McDowell Senior High School graduate. Malpass graduated from Notre Dame in the mid-1980s. After spending two years with a Wall Street firm, he returned to Notre Dame to become the school's chief investment officer.
In addition, Malpass serves as a vice president at Notre Dame. He is responsible for the university's endowment, working capital, pension and life income assets of more than $7 billion. Notre Dame's endowment is the 14th largest in American higher education and the largest at a Catholic university.
"It has been a magical season, and I'm so proud of the coaches and players,"�" Malpass said. "They've really worked hard to get to this point. I've only missed one home game since 1980 and that was because I was in China on a business trip."
Malpass has been to nine games this season, including the season opener in Ireland, and trips to Chicago for the Miami game and to Oklahoma.
"Notre Dame always has a lot of spirit on campus but this year has been great,"�"Malpass said. "The student body loves this team not only for their ability but for their character. No question that this kind of season brings a lot of pride to the program, and that fact that we had the No. 1 graduation rate again only adds to it."
Malpass is in Miami for Monday's game and has noticed a number of former players roaming the streets to celebrate another great season for Notre Dame.
"I've seen a lot of the guys from 1988 and other years as well," Malpass said. "I've really enjoyed traveling to games with the players and seeing how focused they are on playing together and winning games. This should be a truly unforgettable experience for the players, fans and all Notre Dame supporters around the country."

Proteins are the chemical building blocks from which all human cells, organs, and tissues are made. They also serve as the hormones, enzymes, and antibodies that help the body fight off invading germs. Determining the structure of a protein enables medical researchers to create pharmaceuticals that will either help or prevent a protein from doing its job. Through a process known as structure-based drug design, researchers use the knowledge of a protein's structure to develop new drugs to treat a variety of diseases. The predominate method of determining a protein's structure is by X-ray crystallography, which involves growing protein crystals and exposing them to an X-ray beam to determine their atomic structure.
With a mission to make drug discovery easier, faster, and more affordable, DSI manufactures and markets products based on the crystallography and structure-based drug design research conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Center for Biophysical Sciences and Engineering (CBSE), a NASA Commercial Space Center. Formed as a CBSE spinoff company in 1995, DSI has received several SBIR contracts from both NASA and the National Institutes of Health to develop products that support crystal growth for all crystallographic applications, including drug design and protein engineering. The CBSE's commercial research is made possible through NASA's Space Product Development Program, a partnership between NASA, academia, and U.S. industry.

Swiss Army Knife
The One-Tool Wonder. A universal solution to all needs; a panacea. Not really in existence, but the idiom is used pretty frequently in engineering circles.
I think
universal antidote
(I mean a drug that cures all illness) would be a better name. Swiss Army knives do exist and they work well (especially when compared to its size) on many areas.
"Panacea" mentioned above is, in fact, something that cures all illness. And when they said "not really in existence", obviously they didn't mean there are no Swiss Army knives, they meant there's no truly universal one, either literally or figuratively.
I carry a Swiss Army knife (a real one, from Switzerland), and it is very useful, but as said above, not truly a panacea. Often I need to actually use a toolkit, because the knife and other attachments are insufficient. That's what the paragraph above means.
Yes, but just try to get it past airport security, and if you forget to remove it, they toss it.
In fact, they collect them, donate them to a municipality, and the municipality auctions them. Boulder City (NV) uses eBay for this.
Aside: Swiss army knifes are famous for having a plethora of tools but the actual knife used by the swiss army is much simpler in reality. It only has four things - bottle opener, can opener, knife and spike.
Often used as an idiom for a tool that does lots of things "acceptably" well (for some level of "acceptable"), though it does nothing optimally. With a real Swiss Army knife, one can trim or file one's nails, cut through things, turn and drive screws, remove a cork from a wine bottle, and open a can; though one could do each of those tasks much more easily with a separate nail clipper, knife, screwdriver, corkscrew, and can opener.
Generally, a Swiss Army knife is a good thing -- the term is complimentary. On the other hand, for a less complimentary form, see SporkAntiPattern
A Swiss Army knife that has lots of functions may seem great in theory but in practice it might just be too heavy and subsequently get left at home.
A Swiss Army knife is good for small jobs, but not to cut a big tree in front of your house. It can be very useful for you, because you are already familiar with it, but you must give enough tutorial to your new neighbour to use it.
First you use the knife to sharpen a herring...
It should be noted there are various kinds of

It's always better to be the master of one trade rather than a jack of all trades.
Unless the trade you have mastered is "making sweeping and unsubstantiated generalizations."
Is it really better? I could envision making little custom micro-controllers, for a Physics Lab, say, and wanting someone who is good at electronics, programming (both in micro-controller assembler, and in a high-level language for the interface to a normal computer), and a little bit of engineering, so that he could make sure that the motors and shafts don't get damaged by the device. Having a person for each role might be overkill for a small enough lab!

I'm a self-taught crafter, of a variety of different crafts and mediums. My latest passion has been crocheting!
Just over a year ago, we moved up to God's country where the winters can be really long. I needed something to do to pass the time and keep me warm, crocheting was just that "thing"! I found that making blankets for wedding gifts, also helped to keep me warm during the day. lol
I recieved alot of positive feedback from the items I created and was urged by many friends and family to "sell my designs", so thus it began, my journey into writing crochet patterns and A Crocheted Simplicity was opened!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! :)
PDF does NOT include the pattern for the "Doggy Flat Cap", you can find that pattern here: http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/crocheting/pet/doggy-flat-cap/62153
I'm always getting requests for more Boy items so that's where conception began for my Kids Flat Cap. However, while hooking and testing, one of my testers suggested making it for girls as well and I'm SO glad she did as my daughter LOVES her new cap and refused to take it off after pictures. lol
Sizes Included:
6-12m : 18"
12-24m: 19"
3-5yrs: 20"
6-10yrs: 21"
Kids Flat Cap is my Original Design! It is a very versatile cap as it can be made in any color combo and can be dressed up or made to look more casual! This cap is a FUN cap to hook and it works up very quickly!
Stitches used in this pattern are: Ch, Sl St, Sc, Hdc. The pattern also includes a step by step photo tutorial.
The caps in the photos were made using Red Heart Super Saver, Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn & Deborah Norville yarns. The approximate yardage needed to complete the largest cap is 250yds.
Cap design is an 'A Crocheted Simplicity' Original Design.

ADELAIDE — The disappointment at home generated by South Africa's failure to win the first Test against Australia showed how much "respect" the team had won since attaining the top ranking, according to Proteas captain Graeme Smith.
South Africa's debut as top dogs in the Test world fell flat in Brisbane, their much-vaunted pace attack managing to prise only five wickets in the draw to leave the hosts claiming a moral victory and the momentum ahead of the second Test in Adelaide, which started on Thursday.
That Test started badly for South Africa, with Australia captain Michael Clarke and David Warner both making quick centuries — with Warner smashing 119 off just 112 balls. Ricky Ponting's woes continued, however, as he made just four runs in three balls before being bowled out. At tea Australia were 280 for four with Clarke unconquered on 104 and Mike Hussey not out 34. The home side added a blistering 178 runs off just 26 overs in the middle session.
Smith said on Wednesday: "The great thing is that there is respect for our performance.
"I think if we had travelled a few years ago and drawn a Test match anywhere else in the world, people would have been raving about it. For us a disappointment in a draw is good; it shows people expect us to play well and that's exciting for us.
"We come to Adelaide knowing there are a few areas where we can definitely improve on and we've had some good discussions about that.
"But in terms of the No1 ranking, we know that it's going to be a process of us performing well for a period of time and this is the big challenge for us and if we come through Australia having been successful, then it will give us a great opportunity to create something."
Life has been tough at the top of Test cricket, with both India and England relinquishing the premier ranking in little more than a year.
Since taking over the captaincy from Shaun Pollock in 2003, Smith has spent eight years piloting the Proteas' steady rise to the summit, but could ultimately see his team lose their foothold should Australia win the series.
Their short reign has already been undermined by team selectors, who overlooked Imran Tahir in favour of a four-prong pace attack that drew little from the Gabba wicket. Smith said it was "back to normal" with Tahir's reinstatement at Adelaide.
Clarke on Wednesday denied any rift with vice-captain Shane Watson as the all-rounder was ruled out of the second Test. Watson has been troubled by a calf injury and tried this week to prove his fitness after missing the drawn series opener in Brisbane earlier this month.
But Clarke said doubts about Watson's injury prompted Australia to go with an unchanged team for the second Test in Adelaide. "He has improved a lot over the last few days ... but is probably a few days short of being 100%," Clarke said.
The captain dismissed speculation of a rift with Watson, stressing there was no communication breakdown with his deputy.
"Watto and I, our friendship and our professional relationship when it comes to captain and vice-captain, is as close as I can certainly ask for."
Senior batsman Ponting warned this week against playing a not fully fit Watson, saying it would place too much pressure on his team-mates.

The criteria of the Sustainable Agriculture Standard — met by Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms — represent a strategy for achieving social and environmental sustainability in agriculture. This environmental sustainability extends to the farm's impact on climate change. When farms change their practices to become Rainforest Alliance Certified, the new activities they implement are often lower in greenhouse gas emissions, or, even more often, help to mitigate climate change by increasing carbon sequestration on farms.
Have you ever wondered which of the Sustainable Agriculture Standard's 94 criteria are important for climate? Here are a few:
- Conservation of natural ecosystems on a farm prevents conversion (and the release of carbon dioxide) into land uses with a lesser carbon stock. (2.1)
- Restoration of natural ecosystems and reforestation of marginal farm areas increases the carbon stock of the farm, hence sequestering more carbon dioxide. (2.1)
- Only allowing extraction of timber, plants and non-timber forest products that conform to a sustainable management plan will minimize the loss of carbon stocks due to over extraction and wasteful techniques. (2.4)
- Establishing vegetated protection zones between natural ecosystems, watercourses, areas of human activity and production areas. (2.5 – 2.7)
- Establishing permanent shade of at least 70 trees per hectare, at a shade density of 40 percent, with a two strata crown structure will increase the carbon stock of the productive areas above non-shade production. (2.8)
- Requirement for non-shaded farms to have a shade establishment or expansion plan will increase the carbon stock of the farm. (2.8)
- Minimizing the use of agrochemicals reduces the nitrogen and carbon based green house gas emissions associated with their use, production and transportation. (8.1)
- Careful application of fertilizers and giving priority to organic fertilizer generated on farm will minimize greenhouse gas emissions. (9.2)
- By increasing ground cover to prevent soil erosion, the carbon stock of the farm is increased. (9.3)
- By preventing the burning of land for clearance, the emissions of greenhouse gases from the combustion of vegetation and soil organic matter are avoided. (9.4)
- By not allowing the cutting of natural forest or land burning, emissions of associated greenhouse gases are avoided. (9.5)

Vayikra 5771
Posted on March 23, 2011
by Josh Seed
This Shabbat we begin reading the book of Vayikra, the third book of the Chumash. Interestingly, Vayikra also carries a second name of Torat Kohanim – the Laws of the Priests. This is undoubtedly because of the book's focus on sacrifices as can be seen in the very beginning of Parashat Vayikra. The portion begins, "The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying: Speak to the Israelite people, and say to them: When any of you presents an offering of cattle to the Lord, he shall choose his offering from the herd or from the flock." (Vayikra 1:1-2)
In these two verses, Moses speaks to the children of Israel instructing them on the details for making offerings in the Mishkan. The Mishkan or tabernacle was seen as the portable dwelling place for God from the time of the Exodus from Egypt through the conquering of the land of Canaan. It would eventually be replaced by a more permanent structure, the First Temple in Jerusalem. This begs an important question. How are we to fulfill the commandment to perform sacrifices today without the Mishkan or Holy Temple in existence? The simplest answer the rabbis give is to praise God through prayer but I believe that this is only one of many possible explanations.
The Talmud teaches, "Kol Yisrael arevim zeh bazeh – All Israel is responsible for one another." Through Gemilut Chassadim, acts of charity and loving-kindness, we too can find a way to worship God. As Jews, we have a responsibility to ensure that the members of our community are looked after. Whether this is the poor or sick, we must work to meet the needs of one another. One particular member of our community who now needs our assistance is Jonathan Pollard.
Jonathan Pollard was working as an American Naval intelligence analyst in the 1980s when he discovered that information vital to Israel's security was being deliberately withheld by the U.S. Jonathan was painfully aware that Israeli lives were being put in jeopardy as a result of this intelligence embargo. He did everything he possibly could to have the legal flow of information to Israel restored. When his efforts met no success, he began to give the information to Israel directly. In 1985, his actions were discovered by the U.S. government. He received a life sentence and a recommendation that he never be paroled. To date, Jonathan has been in captivity for 26 long years.
Recent developments to secure Jonathan's freedom show a small glimmer of hope. In early January, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a letter to American President Barak Obama officially requesting that he grant Jonathan clemency. His letter has since been joined by countless American politicians. As we approach the holiday of Pesach when we celebrate our freedom from Egypt, we pray that this be the last Pesach in captivity for Jonathan Pollard.

Luke Burbank (born May 8, 1976) is an emmy award winning American radio host and podcaster who hosts the Portland, Oregon-based syndicated variety show "Live Wire Radio" and the Seattle-based former radio program and current podcast Too Beautiful to Live.[3][4] He was most recently co-host of "The Ross and Burbank Show" and host of "The Luke Burbank Show" on Seattle's KIRO-FM radio station. Burbank is also a correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning.
Early life[edit]
Burbank was raised at Lighthouse Ranch, on Table Bluff, in Humboldt County, California, where he spent his private time listening to radio shows.[1] In the 1980s his parents moved to Seattle, Washington, where he also attended high school.[1]
Early in his radio career, Burbank worked in Seattle as a producer for the conservative talk show host Kirby Wilbur, as well as the public radio station's KUOW 94.9 FM local talk show The Conversation and the public radio satire show "Rewind".[1] Later, Burbank moved to Los Angeles, California, where he began booking appearances for the National Public Radio (NPR) program Day to Day and worked as an assignment reporter on shows All Things Considered and Morning Edition.[5] On November 2, 2001, he had a story aired on This American Life.[6]
In July 2006, he became a panelist on the radio game show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!. He substituted as host for Peter Sagal for some weeks while Sagal finished his book,[3] and he fills in whenever Sagal takes a vacation.[2] His appearances on the show have been marked by the audience chanting "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuke!" as the show comes back from a break.
Burbank spent two months as host of NPR's short-lived morning show The Bryant Park Project, an experiment in alternate programming by the network that aired on 13 public radio stations.[5][7] Burbank left the show in mid-December 2007 in order to spend more time with his daughter in Seattle.[3][5] His last appearance on the program was on December 14, 2007.[8]
After leaving NPR, Burbank returned to Seattle to host a local show called Too Beautiful to Live. The program ran for 18 months (initially on KIRO-AM and then on KIRO-FM). It was Seattle Weekly's choice as "Best Radio Talk Show" in July 2009,[9][10] but after a poor showing in the July Arbitron ratings, the radio program was canceled in September.[10] Burbank and KIRO said that the program would continue as a daily podcast.[10]
On October 26, 2010, after one year off the KIRO airwaves, Burbank joined The Dave Ross Show as co-host. The show was renamed to The Ross and Burbank Show. On January 7, 2013, the show was involved in a KIRO morning lineup change. Ross anchored Seattle's Morning News from 6-9 a.m., then co-hosted The Ross and Burbank Show from 9-10 a.m. Burbank hosted The Luke Burbank Show from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. with co-host Tom Tangney. On August 2, 2013, Burbank announced that he was leaving both shows to pursue longer-form broadcast opportunities.
On March 11, 2013, Burbank became the interim host for the syndicated public radio variety show "Live Wire Radio". He has announced that he will be the permanent host starting the fall season.
Luke was the first person to air the phrase "personality sonar". It was explained during NPR's October 20, 2012, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! show[11]
Other appearances[edit]
Burbank has continued to host Too Beautiful to Live as a podcast since its cancellation by KIRO in 2009.
He previously appeared in a regular weekly segment called "Awesome, Not Awesome" on the Madeleine Brand show on KPCC until its cancellation in September 2012.[12]
In September 2013 he starred in a Microsoft online video advertisement with his wife Carey Burbank, which made headlines after it was pulled by the company less than 24 hours later following viewer backlash. The Huffington Post declared the ad was "terrible"[13] while The Next Web described it as "cringeworthy."[14] Burbank defended the ad, however, saying it was "successful."[15]

Since gaining national attention after a planned rally sparked riots in Toledo, Ohio, in October 2005, the National Socialist Movement (NSM) has sought publicity by holding events in various cities while dressed in Nazi uniforms and shouting "Sieg Heil." Klan members and other white supremacists have joined the NSM at their rallies to denounce Jews, blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, and gays. The increased cooperation between the NSM and these other groups has helped boost the group's image in extremist circles.
The increased media attention has also helped the NSM recruit more members, particularly among racist skinheads. Over the last eighteen months, the NSM has absorbed the Tualatin Valley Skins in Portland, Oregon, and the Southern Nevada Skins in Las Vegas. In addition, a number of members of the Las Vegas unit of the National Vanguard have also joined the NSM. The rollover of National Vanguard members to the NSM is significant since it points to the weakness of the current leadership of the National Vanguard, a rival neo-Nazi group. However, despite increasing membership, the NSM is still relatively small, with somewhere between 200 and 300 members.
The NSM's 2006 rallies and gatherings have included events in Olympia and Seattle, Washington; Troy and Dayton, Ohio; Orlando, Florida; Laurens, South Carolina; Des Moines, Iowa; and Lansing Michigan�where the group celebrated Adolf Hitler's birthday in April. Other rallies are being planned for the summer and fall. NSM members and supporters are often outnumbered at their events by counter-protesters, which has sometimes led to violent confrontations. In February 2006, Bill White, NSM's media liaison, and other NSM members themselves disrupted a rally held by the anti-immigrant Minutemen in Washington, D.C., calling them "sellouts" because they were not radical enough.
Bill White's leadership position within NSM has caused problems for the organization. White, known for spreading propaganda about perceived enemies, including other white supremacists, has created tension between NSM and the Vinlanders Social Club, an umbrella organization of racist skinhead groups, mostly from the Midwest and Southwest. Ill feelings between the two groups erupted into a brawl at Nordic Fest, a white power event held in Kentucky in May 2006. Vinlander skinheads beat up some NSM members after a speech given by an NSM leader.
The NSM has also been involved in a number of other activities over the last year, including the distribution of racist and anti-Semitic flyers. It also expanded on the technological side by presenting more sophisticated features on its Web site. In addition to offering streaming online radio and a "news service" geared to white supremacists, the group started an in-house Web hosting service for white supremacist groups. Additionally, the group created its own white power music label, NSM Records, which was officially launched in January 2006. The NSM also announced that it would release a racist and anti-Semitic video game called "ZOG's [Zionist Occupied Government] Nightmare" during the summer of 2006. The goal of the game, geared toward young people, is to kill as many minorities and Jews as possible.
In addition, the NSM has gotten involved in local elections. Shawn Stuart, an NSM state leader in Montana, is running for the legislature as a Republican in Butte (the Republican Party has said it will support his Democratic opponent). The NSM has also formed a political action committee and has said it will run a candidate in the 2008 presidential election.
Partially because of the weak leadership of other neo-Nazi groups, including the National Vanguard and the National Alliance, whose leader was indicted on federal civil rights charges in June 2006, the NSM has been able to attract a steady stream of new members. However, the group's choice of Bill White as a spokesperson, as well as its fixation on Nazi regalia and salutes, will still make it unappealing to many white supremacists.

Featured Golf News
The Road Hole - A Bucket of Balls with Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
[Editor's Note: Cybergolf's Jay Flemma recently sat down and had an extensive question-and-answer session with notable golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones Jr. Here's what the two discussed.]
Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Jay Flemma: How disappointed are you that you didn't get the 2016 Olympics Course gig down in Rio?
Robert Trent Jones Jr.: I'm not disappointed - I'm supportive of golf being successful in its re-emergence in the Olympics. However, the sand is running out of the hourglass, and everyone will have to get started soon if they want the proposed new golf course to be a venue for this Olympics.
JF: You mean regarding the land dispute?
RTJ 2: Anything to do with land in South America is going to risk being disputed. They can sort it out, but they are running out of time to complete and test the new venue, which is required by the IOC for all sports in the Olympic games. While it might seem this is all local politics, there's sometimes more politics in sports than there is in politics itself!
JF: Did you utilize any design concepts or ideas from Chambers Bay in the design you submitted for the Olympics?
RTJ 2: Yes and no. Our primary goal was to create a purpose-built golf course to host both men's and women's events sequentially. Thus the St. Andrews Old Course and its open landscape and wide, double-fairways were our model, because it has historically been played in opposite directions: i.e. both clockwise and counterclockwise. It's really two routings over one golf field.
JF: And you gave the Olympics a reversible design?
RTJ 2: Yes. Never in the history of the game have they played two professional tour events on the same course back-to-back. We all know what a golf course looks like after Tour events leave it: divots everywhere and the rough trampled by the gallery. You can only design a course that can survive that on a flattish, open sandy site such as St. Andrews or Pinehurst, and so that's what I designed and submitted to the Olympics. Pinehurst will be the "Beta testing" for the idea of two events held on one course in 2014 for the U.S. Men's and Women's Opens, so we'll see how it can work for 2016.
JF: We hear you may take some of the design concepts from Chambers Bay and the Olympics design and use them for a new course at Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico?
RTJ 2: We think some of these concepts could be implemented well at Dorado Beach as it repositions its total golf experience. Speaking of repositioning, Poppy Hills is being rebuilt by Bruce and I right now.
JF: What are you doing at Poppy Hills?
RTJ 2: We're slightly rerouting it. 10, 11 12 are new holes, all the rest are being updated with water conservation in mind.
JF: What do you mean by updated?
RTJ 2: Water conservation is a primary concern. It's a precious resource, and the California State Golf associations are very good about staying out in front on environmental issues. We're taking out the lake on the fifth hole (with water conservation in mind), and we're creating non-irrigated sandy wastelands everywhere else around the course, recreating an arid rough similar to Pinehurst.
JF: When will it be ready?
RTJ 2: It will be ready in 2014.
JF: Where else have you been designing recently?
RTJ 2: We have a new project in Columbia, South America; the name is Mesa de Yuguas, which means "The Hills of the Wild Horses." It's right in the shadow of the Andes. We're completing a fabulous course outside Rome, Italy, called Tierra di Consuelo. The Roman consuls met 2,000 years ago on this land. It's about 15-20 miles from the center of Rome. The old Roman stone road, the Via Franco (which goes all the way to Germany), weaves through the golf course.
JF: Is the road a hazard?
RTJ 2: No, you cross it and play on either side of it. It's 27 holes: the 18-hole "championship" course and another shorter nine-hole family course. We have a second course in Italy, Gorgia di Bagnia, outside Siena, which opened in 2012.
JF: You also built in Greece as well, didn't you?
RTJ 2: Yes, we recently opened Navarino Bay in Pilos, Greece. It's a shortish course, but beautiful and fun, tucked right on the bay, enclosed in its own little sanctuary. It's got only half the number of bunkers you'd find elsewhere, and it's just 6,100 yards, but it's right on the water in a beautiful Mediterranean climate.
In China we opened 36 holes just north of North Korea, which is called Chan Bai Shan. It's next to a huge mountain which is the border between China and North Korea in a beautiful forested mountain region.
And we're doing some refinements and renovations to my own work, and my father's work elsewhere, to improve the courses of the Robert Trent Jones legacy.
JF: Such as?
RTJ 2: Mission Viejo in Southern California. And Poppy Hills and Dorado Beach, which we already discussed. Also, last year we reopened the East Course at Dorado, which my father designed in the '50s. It was an important job for me, because that's where I first fell in love with golf course architecture and wanted it to become my life's work.
We're also rerouting and renovating SentryWorld in Steven's Point, Wis. SentryWorld was built in 1981, and it was game-changer then.
JF: Why?
RTJ 2: It was a BIG golf course, the first of the modern golf courses to be built on Wisconsin, where as you know, they love their golf. They held a U.S. Amateur Public Links there, and over the years a lot of legendary pros like Gary Player came there. SentryWorld stimulated the golf boom in Wisconsin, and more courses were built, such as Kohler and Erin Hills. It's a low, flat, wooded site, and when it was built a large manmade lagoon was created. For environmental reasons, we couldn't use all the lakeside property for golf, but with a new routing, now we can. Now flora fauna and golfers now coexist . . . just like they do at Sharp Park.
Since launching his first golf writing website in 2004, http://jayflemma.thegolfspace.com, Jay Flemma 's comparative analysis of golf designs and knowledge of golf course architecture and golf travel have garnered wide industry respect. In researching his book on America's great public golf courses (and whether they're worth the money), Jay, an associate editor of Cybergolf, has played over 420 nationally ranked public golf courses in 40 different states, and covered seven U.S. Opens and six PGA Championships, along with one trip to the Masters. A four-time award-winning sportswriter, Jay was called the best sports poet alive by both Sports Illustrated and NBC Sports writers and broadcasters. Jay has played about 3 million yards of golf - or close to 2,000 miles. His pieces on travel and architecture appear in Golf Observer (www.golfobserver.com), Cybergolf, PGA.com, Golf Magazine and other print magazines. When not researching golf courses for design, value and excitement, Jay is an entertainment, copyright, Internet and trademark lawyer and an Entertainment and Internet Law professor in Manhattan. His clients have been nominated for Grammy and Emmy awards, won a Sundance Film Festival Best Director award, performed on stage and screen, and designed pop art for museums and collectors. Jay lives in Forest Hills, N.Y., and is fiercely loyal to his alma maters, Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts and Trinity College in Connecticut.
