Snooker will always owe a substantial debt to Alex "Hurricane" Higgins, the brilliant, self-destructive Irishman who was found dead at the weekend.
When Higgins grabbed the game by the collar, it was populated by middle-aged men in bow ties playing a no-frills, cautious game at a slow, contemplative pace.
It was a grey game, commentated on television by a man with a moniker which fitted the time and the mood: "Whispering" Ted Lowe.
Among his more famous lines was "... for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to to the green".
Then along came the renegade from Belfast and the game received a ferocious kick in the backside.
Higgins wasn't universally admired by the fuddy-duddies. He discarded the until-then obligatory tie, smoked four packs of Marlboro a day - he died of throat cancer - drank long and hard and played the game like a gunfighter.
The contrast in style with his rivals was stark. Higgins was rapid-fire. He charged around the table making rapid calculations. Nipping out to put the kettle on as Higgins strode to the table was a bad move.
There was no messing about and when on song, he was utterly compelling. He was not known as the "People's Champion" for nothing.
He won the world title twice, in 1972 and 1982. His heart was invariably on his sleeve and he was loved for it by his adoring fans.
Higgins carved his way through an estimated £4 million ($8.5 million) fortune. He cried publicly, he argued with officials, boozed and fought - both drug addictions and with his fists - head butting one official who had the temerity to ask him to hurry up during a drug test.
His home life was chaotic, but his presence in the game was akin to a fresh breeze whistling through a room. Cobwebs had no chance.
Higgins was dazzling in a seat-of-the-pants style.
Cockney lefthander Jimmy "Whirlwind" White, perhaps the best player never to win the world title, and three-time world champion Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan - the first player to have been caught giving the "finger" to a ball which didn't stop where he intended - are the closest imitators in terms of pizzazz and the excitement they've brought to the table.
However Higgins, who was 61, was an original. His demise had an inevitability once the focal point of his life had gone.
By the end, he had no teeth, he was eating baby food, he weighed about 40kg, was living in a squalid flat and was understood to have been dead several days before his body was discovered.
In his prime he was box office. People who had not the slightest interest in snooker, knew who the "Hurricane" was.
Television channels were changed when he was on.
Six-time world champion Steve Davis called him "an inspiration to my generation".
Added another former world champion Dennis Taylor: "I don't think you'll ever, ever see another player in the game like Alex Higgins."
Put a ring around that.


text: This will be my 1st cutout and I wil not be destroying anybody's property. It is at a small airport in a shipping crate for a helicopter rotor. The width in the photo is about 3' wide and it appear that the comb is only about 8" deep. The lid can be completely removed so this should be about as easy as a cutout can get. I plan to use rubber bands and attach as much comb as possible to deep frames. Can I flip the top of the crate over to make it easier or should I just try to cut it in it's upright position. Also, I have both wired and un-wired frames with me, but not enough of either. Are the wired frames better or worse for this? Thanks for any advice.

Just a few pointers about myself:
I love writing
I'm REALLY random
I'm not emo or preppy or anything of the type
I have emo, goth, preppy friends, you name it. I happen to get along with everyone just fine
Insult me or my friends and I'll mess you up
I'm actually pretty nice(ignoring the previous comment)

I've been writing stories ever since I was...8? But I never get around to finishing them because I lose inspiration, unfortunately. Plus I'm EXTREMELY busy.
I think High School is awesome, even as a freshman. I mean, I still get to hang out with the seniors and juniors out of school, and I make friends real easily, so what's not to like?
I'm one of the fastest reader EVERR I haven't met anybody who could read faster than me. if you have some kind of personal record, do share it with me XD ;)
I'm a pathological flirt. Unfortunately.
And I love to meet new people :)

Upcoming Hindi Movies – Bollywood 2010

Jack Nicholson has retired from acting over "memory issues" - but the report has been denied by a close friend of the actor.
The 76-year-old icon is reportedly stepping away from movies after a career spanning five decades, which has seen him appear in many iconic films including The Shining, Batman, Easy Rider and Chinatown.
A Hollywood insider told RadarOnline.com: "Jack has - without fanfare - retired.
"There is a simple reason behind his decision, it's memory loss. Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him. His memory isn't what it used to be."
But Maria Shriver says Nicholson, with whom she is close friends, has no plans to step away from his Hollywood career anytime soon.
The 57-year-old brunette told E! News that the star is not suffering from any memory-related illness or dementia and has no current plans to retire.
Another source close to Jack said he is actively reading scripts at the moment and is looking forward to his next role.
Nicholson's illustrious career has included three Oscar wins, two for Best Actor in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and As Good as It Gets and a Best Supporting Actor statuette for his turn in the 1983 film Terms of Endearment.
Nicholson has previously singled out his role as The Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 version of Batman with Michael Keaton in the lead role as a personal favourite.
He said: "I was particularly proud of my performance as The Joker. I considered it a piece of pop art."
Nicholson is also philosophical about his fame, saying he believes he has "done okay".
In an interview published in Britain's Esquire magazine in June, he said: "I take responsibility for my successes as well as my failures. But when I look at my professional mistakes, I'm always left with the feeling that maybe I should have done more. These are my private musings.
"I'm such a perfectionist. I always feel over-praised, or whatever. In the abstract, I know I'm a good person, a good professional. But it's nice to be noticed a little bit, ain't it?"
The last film Nicholson appeared in was 2010s How Do You Know, which also starred Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson.

This Is Too Much
Posted 02 October 2004 - 08:50 PM
It looks like some are using the site as their own personal photoblog. If I want to see 100 shots from the same person, I go to their members page.
I kinda liked the new rules but this is getting ridiculous.
Posted 03 October 2004 - 09:40 AM
I am not posting that regularly at the moment but I like to come back and see how people are getting on and make my comments.
But the good shots are getting lost and I don't want to go through 15 pages - I thought last week bad enough.
The has to be a limit to how many people can each post, 3 is reasonable - it will also help teach everyone the art of editing.
But, I could be wrong and all the photos are actually as brilliant, as the now average score of 9 would indicate.

The problem this week is worse than usual and makes it impossible to look through the images.
I usually like going through POTW gallery because of the wide range of styles and subjects.
Posted 05 October 2004 - 06:27 PM
The only slight technical difficulty is that I can't actually limit how many photos a user can post on a category basis - I would have to check that myself.

I agree that 4 would be fair.

If Mark can't limit posts with software, we're on the honor system.
But who in their right mind needs that?
Post favorites from your week then get on with your day. If you have more than 4 favorites, you belong somewhere else.
Posted 29 October 2004 - 07:04 PM
Mark, don't get me wrong, you have a great site here....unfortunately I just liked it better when it wasn't so "popular".
Here's to to the 3 post limit!!
Posted 30 October 2004 - 09:11 AM
Posted 07 November 2004 - 10:23 PM
Today being my first day here , and this being my second post and all , I hesitated before posting into somewhat of a debate, so please ignore me if this is out of line.
But I was quite surprised to see that you could even submit more than one image for the POTW . I just don't quite understand posting a bunch of photos. Its the photo of the week, not the year, so you have many other chances to submit other photos.
I also find it very difficult to sift through too many pictures and then hope to decide which one I liked best.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I thought the post limit was generous as it is, and I couldn't agree more with pretty much every post in this thread.
So, thanks for having me. I have enjoyed alot of the work posted here and look forward to talking more with all of you and seeing more of your work.
Posted 08 November 2004 - 11:25 AM
If there was a way of limiting the entry number ona per user basis, I would set it to 1 :-)
Unfortunately the gallery software that I use doesn't have this level of control, so I have to rely on everyone observing the rules...

City of Havelock to repair worn roads
Havelock - The City of Havelock has set aside about $450,000 for road repair to several cracked and worn down roads.
City officials said there is an array of road damage to roads in the city. They plan to resurface, patch, and fix drainage issues along the roads.
People who live in the city said the water gets so bad along the roads and in ditches, canoes can be seen after a major rain event.
However, it's not all fun, the rain gets under the road and ruins its support.
"Every time we have a rain it washes out concrete," Carla Reaves said. Reaves has lived on McCotter Boulevard for 12 years. "It's not their fault, but it needs [something] permanent."
Since July 1st, Havelock has received 31 inches of rainfall. That's according to people with the city's public works department.
The infrastructure improvements will hopefully protect the roads from water damage.
Patches will be put over potholes. The worst of the roads, such as Webb Boulevard, will be completely resurfaced.

I felt proud for getting the kids into bed by 9:30 last night but that still wasn't enough, I Had to drag Emerson from her oillow at 7:30 this morning. We entered Kusadasi early so had time for a Turksih tea before kicking off our tour.

Reported yesterday, The Strokes announced a United States concert, which hasn't happened in more than three years, the concert is set to take place in New York. This gig is booked ahead of their headlining performance at the three-day Governors Ball Festival, which starts June 6, and is held on Randall's Island in New York City.
Concert tickets go on sale this Friday, May 16 at noon, EST and cost $30 for the May 31 show. The show will be performed at The Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY; doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will start at 8 p.m. Fans may want to set their alarms, and a back-up reminder because it appears band followers are frothing at the bit to purchase tickets.
So far The Strokes Facebook page announcement has garnered more than 3,600 likes. One fan said, "he's on his way," while other fans not located near NY continue to leave comments about booking gigs in their cities. However, it's not just fans that want to see more of The Strokes touring, in fact, one of the head guitarists, Albert Hammond Jr. told NME, "he'd love to get his foot in the door to open for bands like: Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, and Black Keys."
He also told Gigwise that "when the band goes on tour it's because we will have new music out," and playing festivals before that time helps them to connect with their audience again. The Strokes will be on tour in the UK until May 15. The bands fifth studio record was released March 2013, Comedown Machine, an RCA label. Although the band did a media blackout with this record it still made #41 on NME's 50 Best Albums of 2013, and continued to chart UK as "the 10th-best selling record" and debuted in the US as the "eighth on the Billboard charts," according to The Strokes News.
As The Strokes wind down their UK tour, the recent announcement of them booking their first US show, which hasn't been done in the last three years, has fans electrified for Friday's ticket sale, and now has them asking for more concerts.

Published: 2012-11-27, by Ana Gracia.
Somebody call the police! Prisoners have escaped from jail and it's your job to find them and bring them back, doing everything in your hands to save the innocent people that walk down the streets without noticing anything.
This is a game of reflexes where you need to think fast and act even faster: before time runs out, arrest the prisoners by tapping on them and making sure you don't accidentally arrest innocents, which will make you lose a live (out of three). Use the markers when needed and and touch and hold bombs to defuse them, preventing them from blowing up.
The cute graphics make the game really engaging and the continuous powerups and evil moths complete the gameplay. Pay attention to all the characters moving around so you don't make any mistakes that can put your lives in danger.
Jailbreak was developed by Tapps - Top Apps and Games, creator of other entertaining and well-designed games for Android. If you miss the tv show or want to take part in a prison break, download the game and make sure not to let the criminals escape.

Gator Baseball Sweeps William & Mary with 5-3 Rain-Filled Finale
Published February 27th, 2012
Loading Video...
Nolan Fontana hit his first home run of the season, freshman Justin Shafer added a two-RBI single in the fourth inning, and Preston Tucker hit his team-leading fifth homer to complete the Gator scoring in a rain-filled 5-3 win over William & Mary. Sophomore pitcher Karsten Whitson only went 0.2 innings and gave up a run, but Steven Rodriguez and Jonathon Crawford held the Tribe at bay, only allowing two more runs in the entire game. The game was delayed in the top of the sixth with two outs for William & Mary, but because the rain kept coming the game was called with the Gators leading 5-3.

It is sometimes possible to find a duplex, triplex, or maybe a pair of houses on a "flag" lot which makes sense to buy because the rent from the other units may cover enough of the expenses to make your own unit cheaper than renting the same thing yourself.
It's even possible for a group of people to all chip in and buy a house together. A group of people can always afford more than any one of them on their own. But you have to be able to get along with them.

Sullivan's Court The 9/11 Zadroga Bill Victim Compensation Fund
Approaching the anniversary of the September 11th attacks on our country, thoughts turn to the reality that families were forever ripped apart and society perpetually altered by terrorists who were hell-bent on destroying the very freedoms we as a Nation cherish. Rest assured they have failed miserably at their chosen evil mission. However, it goes without saying that the pain of those lost will never cease and others still suffer physically as medical conditions continue to be diagnosed in people who were near the site of the attacks.
I gave much thought to whether I wanted to touch the emotional topic of 9/11 in a legal column. It is a topic on which I rarely engage in, even on a level of casual conversation. After discussions with people who suffer from 9/11 related illnesses that only recently developed, I was encouraged to write the article as a way to help inform people who may benefit from the current Victim Compensation Fund. My law partner, James Galleshaw, and I, for personal reasons, made a conscious decision 12 years ago that we would not profit from any 9/11 related legal work and that the assistance we offered would be done on a pro-bono basis. We still maintain that position today, and continue to assist those who need guidance on the issue. We do not begrudge attorneys or others who receive compensation. I hope this article serves as a brief overview and guide for anyone who may need to apply for compensation as a result of a 9/11 related illness.
What is the new Victim Compensation Fund (VCF)?
You have probably heard of the "Zadroga Bill", which is formally called the "Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010." This law signed into effect in January 2011 reactivates the "September 11th Victim Compensation Fund" that was established in 2001 and operated until 2004. It is a taxpayer funded government program. Congress has appropriated $2.7 billion for the fund. The fund provides compensation for individuals (or a representative of a deceased) that suffered physical harm or was killed as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 or the debris removal efforts that took place in the aftermath of the attacks. Awards consist of economic and non-economic loss.
Who is eligible for the new VCF?
Anyone who was at the September 11th "sites" (I'll define this below) at the time of the attacks or between September 11, 2001 and May 30, 2002, and suffered physical harm as a result of the attacks or debris removal. Many have suffered latent health conditions and illnesses, which were barred from compensation under the old fund because they developed after 2004 or the illnesses were not part of the initial fund. Now they may be eligible for compensation. The list of covered conditions is fairly extensive but may expand further in time. For example, the fund covers common conditions such as sleep apnea, chronic laryngitis, low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome to far more deadly illnesses like 60+ types of specified cancers and any cancer deemed "rare," such that there are only 200,000 reported cases per year in the US. Many cancers were not added to the approved list until October 2012 and in July 2013 prostate cancer was added.
What are the 9/11 sites?
Under the VCF the 9/11 sites include; The World Trade Center; The Pentagon and the Shanksville, Pennsylvania site; buildings that were destroyed as a result of the attacks; The NYC Exposure Zone which is deemed as all of lower Manhattan south of Canal Street from the Hudson River to Clinton Street on the east side to the East River and below; any area "related to, or along, routes of debris removal," such as barges and Fresh Kills and the morgue. This is a significantly larger impact area than the original fund.
When is the filing deadline?
Those who were aware of their illness before October 3, 2011, have a two year deadline in which to register, thus October 3, 2013. If you learned of your injury after October 2011, you must register within two years but no claims will be accepted beyond October 12, 2014. Once registered, the fund advises on how and when to submit supporting documentation, including proof you were in the impacted areas during the covered dates, medical records and out-of-pocket expenses.
Does this apply only to "First Responders"?
No, you do not have to be a responder to be eligible. Under the Zadroga Act, to receive a payment from the new VCF, any individual who was at a 9/11 crash site between the time of the crashes and May 30, 2002 is eligible.
If I applied to the original fund, can I apply again now?
Yes, anyone who submitted claims to the original VCF may submit new claims if the individual suffered a new injury that is eligible; the individual's prior eligible condition has substantially worsened and resulted in damages or loss that was not previously compensated; the individual's illness was not previously eligible but is now eligible as a result of the increased illnesses covered by the Zadroga Act.
Do I need a lawyer to participate in the VCF?
No! Once more…NO. You are not required to hire a lawyer. Sullivan & Galleshaw is probably the only firm that discourages the hiring of a lawyer. The fund offers assistance through seminars and web-based videos and many offer free help in completing the claims. If you choose to hire a lawyer, the fund will not reimburse you for fees charged by the lawyer. Such fees are paid by the claimant. A lawyer may not charge more than 10% of the amount the Claimant's award.

'Watching tel...' I reply, but my brother's already halfway down the hall. When I catch up, Tom's kneeling beside Alan, who's staring steadfastly at his Pingu video and standing so close to the screen that his fringe is spiky with static.
'Say hello to your Uncle Tom.'
'Tom,' says Tom.
'Uncle Tom. Alan?... Alan?... Alan!' No response. Pingu throws a snowball. I thumb down the volume.
'Things any better with Jane?' I ask.
'Not really, bro.' Tom sits on the floor beside Alan and shakes his head. 'She's been tricky ever since that false alarm. Weird. When her period eventually started, we were, like, thank Christ. But now... I dunno. Maybe she should get pregnant. Maybe that's the answer for us. And I'd make a great dad.' Tom gives Alan's waist a squeeze. Alan squirms and gapes at Pingu, making another snowball.
Tom looks over his shoulder to see what's so enthralling. Pingu throws the snowball. 'Christ, this is shit,' says Tom. 'Come on, Al, let's play.' He switches off the TV and picks up a toy trumpet. Alan and I turn to Tom, aghast.
'What?' says Tom.
There is a fraught silence. Alan's face starts to crumple. Very soon, he's running on the spot, howling, his face the colour of rhubarb.
'Eeugh,' says Tom, as two pale stalactites emerge from Alan's nose. 'That is revolting. Aw, no, now he's... Christ, that's disgusting...

Wash those socks! (and wash them well)
We've shown you how to take care of your socks when they get a hole, but what about everyday ways to keep them happy and whole? The first thing to think of in proper sock care is how you wash them.
We list the washing instructions for our styles in the Fiber Content area on each product page. More often than not, how you wash a sock can be matched to one of three approaches: stockings, cotton socks and wool socks.
It's a lot of information, so I'm posting it after the jump. There's some great reference that will help keep your socks in their best state as long as possible. Everybody has their own methods, but these are some basics that most of us Dreamers follow for keeping our socks happy and healthy.
By "stockings" I mean high nylon content thigh highs and over the knees (though a lot of trouser socks could qualify too), like the Two-Tone Red Cuban Heels. Stockings, nylon tights, fishnet, or any of the more delicate styles need to be hand washed in warm or cool water and hung to dry. Hand washing is pretty simple. Use a mild detergent like Hosiery Mate and focus on more soiled areas, like the feet. You want to treat them carefully. Talking with other Dreamers, we use a couple of different approaches, depending on the delicacy of the stocking and how dirty it is.
For general washing, "kitty paws" and swishing in a bowl or sink of sudsy water is enough. Just gentle poking and mild agitation, in a gentle imitation of a washing machine.
For a little more washing, follow the same movements you do when washing your hands, but with the stocking between them.
If you've got a trouble spot, careful rubbing with thumbs helps you spot treat any stains.
Once the stockings are sudsed up, rinse in cool, clear water until all the soap is out. You can gently squeeze them to remove excess water, but don't wring them.
Hanging up to dry is as easy as throwing the stockings over a towel or curtain rod, with a towel underneath to help soak up water.
Niq went over her basic washing process in the Sock Journal in 2005, using a hosiery bag. Thicker nylon styles can go in a hosiery bag in your washing machine on gentle cycles, but the thinnest style most of us Dreamers feel comfortable with washing this way are the Color Tights.
Cotton (and cotton blend) socks and tights:
Most socks are a cotton blend and their care is pretty easy. You'll see, looking in the Fiber Content and on the label, that most cotton blend socks like to be washed in cool or warm water and then tumble dried on low. Tempurature-wise, "cold" or "cool" is 65 to 85F° or 30C° and "warm" is 105F° or 40C°. A lot of labels show a symbol for what kind of wash cycle you should use.
These are some common washing instruction symbols.
One of my favourite washing reference sites is Laundry Essentials. It's a great way to reference just which thing means what.
Drying instruction symbols are pretty similar to washing symbols. One dot means cold, two dots mean warm, three mean hot. Two lines underneath the symbol mean gentle cycle. But a lot of us Dreamers don't even tumble dry their socks (I do use the dryer, I will admit, but I wash all my clothes the same way: wash cold, tumble dry medium) and a lot of washing instructions don't recommend it. Here are some symbols to keep an eye out for:
When you see the symbol for drip dry, it often is indicating that you shouldn't wring excess water out of the sock as you can hurt some fibers pretty badly that way.
Gentle detergents, washing with like colours and not over-drying are more ways to keep your machine-washable socks in good condition longer. Cotton blends, acrylic and bamboo all are washed about the same way, but keep an eye on that Fiber Content and any tags, to make sure that you treat each sock as it would like to be treated. High cotton content socks, like those in our cotton category, with 70% or higher cotton content, do need to avoid hot temperatures, because they'll shrink up and the fibers will wear out much more quickly.
Wool socks are wonderful, but depending on their blend and what kind of animal fiber they're made from, they need to be treated specially. What happens when you don't wash wool carefully? It felts and shrinks and becomes not much use to anyone. I haven't done it to socks yet, but this sweater used to be an adult's XXL.
Because wool care has so many variables and I don't want to totally overwhelm you, I'll share just the basics for now and focus on wool care in another post, with the help of Zaf, the Dreamer who tends our Tumblr and has more wool socks than anyone I know. One thing to keep in mind is that, unless they're very dirty, wool socks can go several wears between washes.
Most of the wool styles we carry recommend machine washing cold, on the gentle cycle and lying flat to dry. For the best care you'd want to hand wash them, but with as little rubbing or friction as possible, using a detergent or wash that doesn't create a lot of bubbles, so the fibers don't felt. Remember, it's lather and heat plus friction that makes things felt up. So use the same, gentle "kitty paws" and swish techniques from hand washing nylons for wool.
To speed up drying you don't want to wring the excess water out of your socks, you want to press it. Lay your socks flat on a towel and roll it up tightly.
Unroll your towel and move the socks to a fresh towel, gently pressing them back into their proper shape. Leave them in a warm, dry place, remembering to turn them over once they start getting dry, so they dry evenly. I also try to remember to flip the towel (or refold it), so that they're not just sitting on a damp thing.
There are a lot of great resources for washing wool, like at How To Clean Things and at Martha Stewart. But they all agree on the basics: tepid water, gentle touch, reshape as you dry flat.
There is the wonderful "superwash wool" that you'll find in styles like those from MP. Superwash wool has been treated in a way that inhibits wool fibers' felting tendencies, so products made from it can go through the wash and, in theory, even be tumble dried. Even so, for most styles that are made from superwash wool, like the MP Wide Stripe Cotton-Lined Wool Tights whose label suggests washing warm or hot, we still recommend washing inside out in cool water and hanging to dry. It's better to be cautious with styles you love!
Lots of information! But if you want to keep your socks and stockings looking their best and extend their life, careful and thoughtful care is key. And you can extend this information to any of your clothing with similar fiber content. Because I'm sure you buy clothes to match your socks like a lot of us Dreamers do, and if your clothes wear out before your socks do, how will you match perfectly?

There's another option for drying wool socks, sock blockers (http://www.knitpicks.com/accessories/Sock_Blockers__DKPSockBlockers.html)
(this one is sold at knitpicks but you can get other places too.)
Knitters often use them to display socks, but they're good for shaping socks and can be hung up to dry.↓
@Cgirl, smart! That's much easier than blocking them out on a towel!↓
Wool socks for general consumption are made out of superwash wool, which has been treated to prevent, or at least reduce the chance of, felting.
I handknit socks and own an antique circular sock knitting machine (and STILL order from y'all) and just pay attention to the content of the socks. Even 100% wool, if it's superwash wool, can be laundered with your other delicates. I throw them in the front loader with similar colors, and use a nice wool soap that I use for all of my knitted things.
I generally pick them out and let them air dry, while everything else goes in the dryer (mostly because it's the abrasion that kills most socks).↓
@Christy - Actually, most of our wool socks are not superwash (we get plenty of feedback from customers who have accidentally shrunk and/or felted their socks).
I knit too, and while I generally take better care of the socks I knit, there are certain coveted/expensive styles that I'd be a bit heartbroken over shrinking. Usually I'm lazy so I machine wash most of my socks on cold, and even tumble dry some of the ones that aren't as precious to me. It just doesn't work for everything. The friction of the washer alone can definitely wear your socks out faster, and can pull threads to the outside of socks with more complicated patterns where the yarn wasn't carried over in back.
I say better safe than sorry!↓
I thought I put my normal disclaimer of 'usually', but apparently not. USUALLY things are made to be easy-care and wool in socks is generally superwash (like smartwool socks), but if you buy something and want to keep things looking good, you should definitely read the washing instructions on the label. :)
And you can never go wrong with a gentle handwash.↓
The link to the blog post on how to fix a whole in your sock appears to be broken. :( Is there somewhere else this is posted?↓
@Spike, it looks like a typo, we've fixed it but the link is right here too: http://blog.sockdreams.com/2011/03/18/diy-darn-it/
You can use the search field in the upper left of any page in the journal area to find posts talking about what you're looking for. It goes waaaaaaay back, there's some fun old stuff in there. :)↓
One of mine nee high socks are srenck and the other one normal↓

More belated Annunciation thoughts. From Isaac Augustine Morales, The Annunciation and the One Ring | Dominicana Blog:
In a seemingly insignificant detail in one of the appendices of his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien notes that the destruction of the One Ring and the defeat of Sauron took place on March 25. What might have led Tolkien to date the destruction of the ring with such precision? Being a devout Catholic, Tolkien most likely was subtly weaving into his work an ancient Christian tradition regarding the Solemnity of the Annunciation, the feast the Church celebrates today.

College of Desert graduation set for Friday
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Palm Desert, will give the commencement address at College of the Desert's graduation ceremony on Friday, the college announced today.
Commencement is 7:30 p.m. at COD's Boone Field. More than 700 students are eligible to participate and about 300 are expected to do so. Students who earned certificates can also participate and will be recognized at commencement for the first time, according to college officials.
"I look forward to joining the graduates and their families as they celebrate this landmark day for the Coachella Valley," Ruiz said.
Student speakers will be Deborah Suer and Shi Tang.
Suer will receive an associate's degree in liberal arts, humanities and communication. Last year, she earned an associate's in alcohol and drug studies. She was also picked to represent COD in the All-California Academic Team, and the College of the Desert Foundation paid for her to attend President Barack Obama's inauguration in January.
Tang, who is from China, enrolled in COD's Intensive English Academy and is working to earn a degree in chemistry. He received English tutoring and later worked for COD's Tutoring and Academic Skills Center. He plans transfer to a university to pursue a medical degree.
A reception will be held in COD's Wright Gymnasium after the ceremony.

BeschreibungThe field of neuroscience is continually churning out exciting discoveries that help us better understand the human brain. Observing the brain while in action provides rich information on the behavior of teenagers giving us insight into their emotional and cognitive state. This book combines research from neuroscience and psychology along with a heavy dose of common sense and humor to offer parents important strategies to support and guide their teenager.

PortraitSheryl Feinstein, Ed.D. is an associate professor at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
PressestimmenThis book is what every parent of an adolescent needs and wants. Feinstein's engaging stories and clear translation of the current neuroscience research will captivate any reader wondering why those kids act the way they do. This is a must read for parents, teachers, and others who interact with this misunderstood age group. I highly recommend it! -- Marilee Sprenger, educational neuroscience consultant, Peoria, Illinois Today's parents face major challenges in helping their children successfully navigate through a multitude of risks on the road to maturity. In this book, Dr. Feinstein taps exciting new research on the teenage brain to provide parents and mentors powerful new tools to connect with youth and guide them on pathways to responsibility. -- Larry K Brendtro, Ph.D., psychologist and founder of Reclaiming Youth International I am quite delighted to see this new book on parenting by Dr. Sheryl Feinstein. She has linked new and compelling research on the adolescent brain with the ever-challenging role of parenting. Dr. Feinstein's thought-provoking, yet amusing discussion gives us a refreshing opportunity to deepen our understanding of the adolescent and refine our parenting skills...An abundance of practical advice, with a dash of ground-breaking research, is offered at every turn of the page...Those of us who have been involved in education and brain research welcome this informed application to parenting. Dr. Feinstein has certainly produced a significant and long-overdue book on parenting the teenage brain. -- from the Foreword by Eric Jensen, Jensen Learning Corporation, San Diego Feinstein's approach is straightforward and readable, providing very clear examples of ways to handle situations and build relationships...a useful tool for parents and anyone who works closely with teens, helping to put recent research in into a workable perspective. VOYA, April 2008 Sheryl Feinstein focuses on the critical importance of 'high-quality relationships between parents and teens.' She not only describes these relationships and how to develop them, she also goes deeper to explain how the teenage brain physiologically becomes an adult brain, characterized by emotional stability and social responsibility. To acquire an adult brain, a teenager must have the opportunity, best provided by caring, knowledgeable parents, to experience and practice real-life, responsible decision making and problem solving. The more the teenager has these opportunities, the more the teenage brain will be able to grow the actual neurological structures of the adult brain. Feinstein shows, clearly and specifically, how parents can be the parents teens need to help them mature into responsible adults. An invaluable guide for every parent. -- Rita Smilkstein, award winning author, Woodring College of Education, Western Washington University, Seattle

The Art of Public Speaking HTML version
Man, what you need is not sympathy, but a push. No one doubts that temperament and nerves and illness and
even praiseworthy modesty may, singly or combined, cause the speaker's cheek to blanch before an audience,
but neither can any one doubt that coddling will magnify this weakness. The victory lies in a fearless frame of
mind. Prof. Walter Dill Scott says: "Success or failure in business is caused more by mental attitude even than
by mental capacity." Banish the fear-attitude; acquire the confident attitude. And remember that the only way
to acquire it is--to acquire it.
In this foundation chapter we have tried to strike the tone of much that is to follow. Many of these ideas will
be amplified and enforced in a more specific way; but through all these chapters on an art which Mr.
Gladstone believed to be more powerful than the public press, the note of justifiable self-confidence must
sound again and again.
1. What is the cause of self-consciousness?
2. Why are animals free from it?
3. What is your observation regarding self-consciousness in children?
4. Why are you free from it under the stress of unusual excitement?
5. How does moderate excitement affect you?
6. What are the two fundamental requisites for the acquiring of self-confidence? Which is the more important?
7. What effect does confidence on the part of the speaker have on the audience?
8. Write out a two-minute speech on "Confidence and Cowardice."
9. What effect do habits of thought have on confidence? In this connection read the chapter on "Right
Thinking and Personality."
10. Write out very briefly any experience you may have had involving the teachings of this chapter.
11. Give a three-minute talk on "Stage-Fright," including a (kindly) imitation of two or more victims.

A former senior teacher at a top Auckland school has been referred to the Teachers Council Disciplinary Tribunal for an inappropriate relationship with a pupil and allegedly faking a terminal illness.
Jacqueline "Jackie" White was investigated by the council's Complaints Assessment Committee after a family alleged she had faked having terminal cancer to get close to their teenage daughter, then a student of Pinehurst School.
At the time White was Pinehurst's senior college headmistress. She resigned in December after five months' sick leave.
The family says White sent inappropriate texts and emails to their daughter, falsely claimed to have terminal cancer and only a few months to live, abused her position as senior college headmistress to get close to the girl in and out of school and psychologically abused their daughter.
The girls' parents told the Herald on Sunday that they were pleased the case was going to the tribunal because the episode had been traumatic.
"Our daughter feels her complaint has been taken seriously. From our perspective we've done our best to expose what has happened and try to get justice."
The Complaints Assessment Committee interviews all parties and decides whether complaints about teachers should be referred to the tribunal, which has the power to deregister teachers.
The girl and her family would like the case to be heard in public, but that will be up to the tribunal.
The council's director, Dr Peter Lind, confirmed White's case would go to a "pre-hearing", probably in the next fortnight.
The Teachers Council register now shows White as having voluntarily agreed not to teach pending completion of a conduct investigation.
In a statement, White confirmed there was a disciplinary process ongoing but said some details supplied to the Herald on Sunday were incorrect.
However she would not elaborate, saying Tribunal rules said no details should be published.

Emi Coleman's sentence for neck biting sucks -- for her
Big pics below.
Last November, as the hype engine for the latest Twilight movie was running at full tilt, Emi Coleman got downright vampiric, chomping on the necks of not one but two people at a convenience store.
Now she's been sentenced, and while the law's bite certainly could have been harder, that won't make completing her punishment suck any less.
According to the Denver Police Department, as we originally reported in the post linked above, a woman subsequently identified as Coleman stopped by the Barn Store, at 4650 Tower Road, around 10:30 p.m. on November 7. Surveillance photos like this one...
... and especially this one...

... hardly made her look threatening. And maybe she was just trying to be super-friendly when she groped a male customer before biting his neck. Then Coleman, termed a semi-regular at the store, approached the on-duty clerk, a female, and asked for a hug, which she supplemented by sinking her teeth into the employee's neck, too.
The clerk reportedly thought she'd come out of this encounter unscathed, since fabric from her blue hoodie was between her flesh and Coleman's choppers. But she was wrong: Coleman still managed to leave quite a mark before leaving the store with a white male companion in a dark sedan.
The story was manna from heaven (or maybe hell) for our friends at 9News, whose report about the incident, on view below, featured references to Count Dracula, Twilight and True Blood in quick succession. But it was considerably less amusing for Coleman, who was arrested for investigation of unlawful sexual conduct and two counts of third-degree assault.
Cut to yesterday, when Coleman pleaded guilty to third-degree assault. Her punishment? One year of supervised probation that includes a thirty-day jolt in Denver County Jail and sixty days of in-home detention. In addition, she'll receive treatment related to drugs, alcohol, mental health and anger management.
Meanwhile, the countdown to the next Twilight movie has already started. Coleman would probably be better off skipping it -- and the same goes for the rest of us.

Among the crucial problems that affect conservation in less developed countries are the high human pressure on natural habitats, poverty, low conservation education and lack of integration of local population. However, political and ethnic conflicts, which occur around the world and particularly in African countries, significantly affect all sectors of human society, the environment and wildlife. In this paper, we discuss the consequences of the Rwandan civil war of 1990–1994, recognized as one of the major tragedies of the 20th century, with a particular focus on protected areas and conservation bodies in the country.

About 20th Anniversary Raging Bitch Belgian Style IPA
Bitches come in a variety of forms, but there's never been something as sassy as Flying Dog's Raging Bitch Belgian IPA. An American IPA augmented with Belgian yeast, our 20th anniversary beer jumps out of the glass and nips at your taste buds with its delicate hop bitterness. At 8.3% ABV, this bitch is dangerously drinkable.
