Last year I wrote a comprehensive article about yurts that was enjoyed by a lot of readers (more than 2,000 Facebook likes and 100 Tweets as of today). Based on how well that article did, I thought it would be worth the time to put together something similar about tipi — and if you're unsure about the difference between tipis and yurts, keep reading. I'm a longtime tipi-owner and love telling people how great they are.

A tipi is a conical shaped dwelling that was designed and refined by various Indian tribes living in the Great Plains of the United States. Like the yurt, the tipi was valued both for its transportability and its flexibility in terms of climate and weather—in hot weather a tipi dweller has only to open up the smoke flaps and maybe lift up part of the wrap to catch any moving air while in cold weather, tipis can be heated by wood fires and made warmer with additional liners and windbreak fencing.

You can buy a tipi from a company like the Colorado Yurt Company that's not much different from the ones that Native Americans roamed the Great Plains in. The bones of the tipi is made up of a number of straight wooden poles tied in a conical shape with a spread-out base. A wrap, made up of canvas, hide, or even birch bark, is lifted up along with the last pole placed (called the Lift Pole) and laced together around front. Stakes can be used to keep the wrap tight or you can roll up the walls to left lots of air flow. A couple of people can fully put up a 24 foot tipi (measured from the front to the back of the inside of the tipi) in just a few hours. Smaller tipis take even less time to erect.
One of the advantages tipis have over yurts is in cost—you can buy a tipi for ~20% the cost of a comparably-sized yurt. If you're thinking about buying a tipi or just curious to learn more about them, read on for everything you've ever wanted to know about tipis but were afraid to ask.

• History of tipis
Sadly, the story of the invention of the tipi have been lost to time, but we do know that Plains Indian tribes have been using it as a shelter since at least when the horse was re-introduced to North America by conquistadors in the 1500s. The use of horses as beasts of burden made it possible to build larger tipis and to move them more easily. Tipi poles can be formed into a travois, a simple kind of cart that could be piled up with a family's belongings.
• Modern tipis
Unlike yurts, which originated in Central Asia, the tipi is firmly a North American phenomenon. Due to the fact that they've always been part of our cultural heritage (even if it is as the dwelling of a conquered people), the tipi never had to be "introduced" to the North American market.

"Modern" tipis (built using contemporary materials like sail clothe) have been available for sale since at least 1976, when Earthworks Tipis was started. There are now multiple companies selling tipis (scroll down for a list of vendors).

• Yurts vs. Tipis
If you haven't already, swing over and read the sister version of this article that talks about yurts.
There are a few key differences between yurts and tipis:
- Cost
The Colorado Yurt Company's pricing differences between tipis and yurts are fairly typical across the industry. The standard 24' yurt package costs $8,295 (Yurt pricing PDF link). A basic tipi of the same size will set you back $2,483 (add in another $808 for a nine foot inner liner). The price difference grows as the size goes down—a 16' tipi runs $1,072 while the same size yurt is $5,915.

- Weather tightness
The reason tipis are so much cheaper than yurts is because they've much simpler structures. Tipis are, more or less, a bunch of poles and a wrap. Yurts are more intricate affairs whose price reflects it. The lower price of tipis is also reflected in terms of weather tightness—though you can batten down a tipi pretty well, you're still likely to get some drips coming through the smoke hole during a good storm. You can use a tipi Ozan (an overhead canvas roof tarp fit to order) to redirect the drips down down the back of your liner.
Tipis also have much simpler doors than yurts. Yurt doors can approach the weather sealing of conventional doors while tipi entrances come equipped with roll up canvas doors. I found my tipi door to perform well during bad weather, but wind gusts still found a way in through the billowing canvas.
- Heat retention
Tipis are not great at holding in heat. Their funnel shape paired with the way they are pitched (the outer canvas wrap is staked 6-12" off the ground) and the smoke hole at the top creates a natural draft, sucking in air from below and forcing it out the top. This is a great feature when the weather is warm but not so optimal when the mercury dips towards freezing. My winter of tipi living was spent in a 24' tipi and boy did I rip through a lot of firewood. With a good wood stove, it's easy enough to warm up the interior enough to be comfortable with a t-shirt on in the coldest weather, but soon after you turn down the stove it gets cold. My typical wake up routine would be to hop over to the wood stove while still in my sleeping bag. I'd hop back to bed after loading the stove and crawl back under the covers (most nights I would sleep in my sleeping bag under a big pile of blankets) for 20 minutes while the tipi warmed up.

If you're looking at living in a tipi in a cold climate, choose the smallest tipi that fits your needs as it will be easier to keep warm. One option for full time living would be to have a smaller winter tipi pitched next to a larger summer tipi that you don't heat in the colder months. Snow is also a great insulator—the higher it builds up around the tipi, the better the heat retention.

• How to sleep in a Tipi
There are a lot of places in the United States where you can rent a tipi for a few nights. I highly encourage you to do so—everyone should spend at least one night out under a tipi. This is just a partial listing and is slanted towards those in America, so make sure you do some extra research to find all the options close to where you're going.

• How to live in a tipi
Mother Earth News has a good article about some of the things you need to consider before moving into a tipi to live full-time. A good search on tipi living will also turn up other good sources.

The German was one of the stand-out drivers of 2013, achieving a string of eye-catching results for Sauber that brought him onto the radar of Lotus, who have lost Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari for next season.
Lotus made no secret of the fact that Hulkenberg was their number one target but were equally open that any deal was dependent on reaching an agreement for the Quantum Motorsports consortium to take a 35 per cent stake in the team.
With that deal so far having failed to materialise, Lotus instead moved for Pastor Maldonado, who brought with him a major sponsorship package from Venezuela's state-owned oil and gas giant PDVSA.
Maldonado's is not a unique case. Hulkenberg's former employers Sauber are also likely to field untried Russian teenager Sergey Sirotkin in 2014 as a result of the financial clout he is poised to bring to the team, while McLaren outcast Sergio Perez is tipped to land the second Force India seat in part due to his personal sponsorship backers.
With the cost of running an F1 team astronomically high, Hulkenberg appears to be the most high-profile victim of the increasing need for teams to top up the balance sheet where they can - even at the expense of signing the most talented drivers.
But the 26-year-old insists he is not fazed by the situation, and is looking forward to progressing his career at Force India, for whom he also raced in 2012 after a year as the team's test driver.
"I think everyone will have their own opinion on it," said Hulkenberg, who has contested 58 grands prix since making his debut for Williams in 2010. "It's not a completely new situation, it's been around for some years now that some drivers come with financial backing, which is probably positive for them.
"I don't have something to offer like that and have to work around it, but it is what it is.
"It's not the first time I've experienced something like this. I've lost a seat once in Williams (at the end of 2010). But the situation is like this for some years but to be honest I don't spend too much time thinking about it.
"I try to get my energy on the important subjects and take my career in the right way."
Hulkenberg returns to Force India after a year at Sauber, where he finished 10th in the drivers' standings with a best result of fourth place in the Korean Grand Prix.
"It's where I feel very comfortable," Hulkenberg said of his return to the Silverstone-based team.
"I had good success in 2012, for the future they've taken good decisions in terms of engine partner (Mercedes), the team's growing. The structure's getting bigger.
"I've not been here for a year, but quite a lot has changed and it's moving forward."
Hulkenberg makes the move ahead of sweeping regulation changes in 2014 and admits next season marks a step into the unknown for the whole grid.
"We're entering a new era in F1 and where we are going to be is unsure at this point," he said.
"But all we can do is focus on ourselves, try to do the homework and then measure ourselves next year on the circuit.
"I certainly feel that they're doing everything they can."
Hulkenberg's signature confirms one half of Force India's line-up for next season, with the team still to decide who will partner him.
Scotland's Paul Di Resta and Adrian Sutil drove for the team last season and while they could yet be retained, Perez appears to be the front-runner.
"From all the names that are out there I can work with anyone," Hulkenberg added on Sky Sports News.
"It doesn't really matter for me. I want a strong team-mate and one that is challenging me. I know there are a few names around but it is not my decision.
"I'm sure it won't be long before we know."

ISU Spring Football Update
So here are a few observations from ISU football coach Paul Rhoads' press conference today, talking spring practice.
--As the Cyclones work their way toward Saturday's public scrimmage, Rhoads thinks his team has been "intense" and "enthusiasm". Never a bad thing.
--Rhoads says QB Sam Richardson has been more "commanding" this spring as the clear number-one signal-caller. Richardson says that status has given him more confidence to be a leader. He adds that he's working on his accuracy.
--Rhoads admits the Cyclones' defense is pretty young all the way around so it's easy to see when players make "leaps and bounds" of improvement and when they show their shortcomings. He says the light goes on at different times for different players, but he doesn't have the luxury of waiting for that to happen.
--Rhoads says the light has come on for the linebacking corps, a happy coincidence for a group looking to fill the giant shoes left by Jake Knott and A.J. Klein.
--Rhoads says his team has a lot of depth at running back despite the injury to Shontrelle Johnson. He says youngsters DeVondrick Nealy, Rob Standard and juco transfer Aaron Wimberly have show flashes of explosiveness while veteran James White has been steady. He also says Jeff Woody has been playing a variety of roles, moving to H-back or tight end at times.
--Rhoads says the kicking competition between incumbent Edwin Arceo and redshirt freshman Cole Netten is a "dead heat". He says the two seem to have bad days and good days on the same days.
Rhoads also previewed Saturday's spring scrimmage a bit but we'll save that for later in the week, o.k.?
A little bit about me....
I've been Sports Director at News/Talk 1430 KASI since December 2005. I graduated from Iowa State just a few months before that. My career has also taken me to such exotic locals as Estherville, and Storm Lake, Iowa, Owatonna, Minnesota, and Silver City, New Mexico (long story-don't ask). I've also had the pleasure of working part-time at WOI Radio in Ames and WHO Radio in Des Moines while I was a student.
I'm a native of Maplewood, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. It was there that I was inflicted with the curse of being a Minnesota Vikings fan. There is still no known cure, though many times I wish there was. I'm also an avid follower of the Minnesota Twins and of course, the Iowa State Cyclones.

Full report from Jupiter, Fla.
By Phil Doherty

Baseball and boxing competed long ago for the national sports consciousness, with boxing holding a distinct edge. Once upon a time, Jack Dempsey's ring exploits received more press than Babe Ruth's legendary home plate endeavors. Yet today baseball continues to be a "major league" sport while boxing struggles to get back on base. The normally nocturnal business of live boxing switch-hit yesterday to a bright afternoon at the Marlins and Cardinals baseball spring training home in Roger Dean Stadium. Promoter Rebecca Valenza of Botanileeko Promotions and boxing manager Thomas J. Hickey tirelessly campaigned to organize the Fight(s) for the Pink event on behalf of the South Florida affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Fight for the Cure®.

Breast cancer survivors entered the ring wearing pink gloves before the main event to give emotional testimony to their life-and-death triumphs. The seven scheduled bouts exhibited the soul of the sweet science in genuine, heartfelt fashion with fifty cents of every ticket going towards the cause. The crisp crack of wooden bats on cow's hide normally heard with such regularity yielded to the heavy slugging of leather gloves on flesh. One wondered how this unique venue would fare for a boxing event.
Based on the quality of the fights themselves, promoters hit it out of the park. Hopefully they can use the mantra :"If you build it, they will come" to generate even bigger crowds for future shows.
The main event featured Kissimmee-based heavyweight Jason "The Sensation" Gavern (20-7-4, 9 KOs) defending his WBC CABOFE belt against Darnell "The Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson (23-12-3, 20 KOs) in a 10-round bout. Gavern started the action firing a stiff, sharp jab which set up power shots early. However, the shorter, stockier "Ding-A-Ling Man" found openings to counter with big left hooks.
Things heated up in the second round as Gavern dispensed with the tactical approach and started to brawl with Wilson, who continued to find some range behind his heavy left hook. Gavern controlled the pace with repeated two and three-punch combos, earning him the first two rounds on the press-row scorecards.
Wilson knocked Gavern back with a thudding left hook to the body in the third round, forcing a smile and nod from Gavern in acknowledgement. Gavern responded with 3 jabs and a clean right hand followed by a quick left hook. Wilson answered with a lead left hook that stunned Gavern briefly as he stepped straight back, tasting another left hook for his trouble. Gavern yelled to the crowd as he walked to his corner at the end of the third: "Whooo! It's getting hot up here!"
Indeed it was. Wilson stepped up the aggression in the fourth and fifth rounds behind repeated left hooks to the body and head, complemented by huge overhand rights to tighten up the scoring and force Gavern to get busier. He did. In the sixth round, "The Sensation" found a home for some stunning straight right hands upstairs. A crisp left jab and sizzling right rang "The Ding-A-Ling Man's" bell briefly as his head snapped back. Gavern gained some confidence and switched southpaw briefly, starting to toy with Wilson by standing behind referee Frank Santore Jr.
Gavern poured it on to start the seventh with double jabs and overhand rights which prompted a respectful nod from Wilson. Wilson replied with a big left hook when Gavern lowered his right too far. However, Gavern came on with a left hook to the body and stepped deftly to his right to score a crushing straight right and left hook to the head. Wilson immediately stepped back and started to paw at his left eye, which revealed a gaping gash. Wilson couldn't continue and followed referee Santore to the corner, where the ring physician advised the cut was serious enough to halt the contest.
The official time of the stoppage was 1:44 of the seventh round.
Both men gave each other credit for a close, hard-fought fight. Wilson stated: "I was feeling like I was starting to get my timing in there. He was starting to open up, you know I like to catch guys in between shots. I know that even though he has a great chin, I know that I bothered him and he even admitted it. Even though I moved up from cruiserweight feel very strong at heavyweight and I know I have a lot to offer. I wouldn't waste my time with it otherwise because this sport is very dangerous. But I had a great time and look for me to do big things in this sport."
Following the bout, Wilson received 10 stitches to close the wound.
Gavern was all smiles coming out of the ring, asking: "Did it look like I was having fun?" Displaying genuine sportsmanship, Gavern proclaimed: "First of all, Darnell is a class act, man. That guy is the coolest guy, nicest guy in the world. But that kid can punch. This is gonna' be a sad statement, but I haven't prayed as much in a long time as I did today. Every time I seen that left hook comin' I was like: Oh Lord, here we go!" Gavern gave his fight team full credit for whipping him into shape for the bout.
The co-main event showcased the skills of rising Cuban heavyweight Luis "El Mercedes" Ortiz (7-0, 5 KOs) in a 6-round affair against sturdy Bahamian Jerry "Big Daddy" Butler (8-11-1, 8 KOs). The southpaw Ortiz physically towered over Butler and used quick straight lefts and uppercuts to split the guard of the Bahamian. "El Mercedes" pressed the action with a determined, angry look on his face as he sought to pile drive Butler to the canvas with big left hooks behind a snapping jab.
Ortiz kept his hands low to his side in an obvious editorial of his opponent's power and potshot the overmatched and overweight Butler with one-twos throughout the third round. Butler tried to fire back but couldn't sustain any real attack. Ortiz finally let his hands fly midway through the round and abused Butler with a left to the body followed by an overhand right and three straight jabs. Ortiz fired a solid right-left combo upstairs to force Butler back to the corner where he withstood a hurricane of blows from the Cuban. That was enough for Butler's corner as they stepped to the ring apron at 1:40 of the third to stop the assault.
Queens NY-based super flyweight Patricia "Patty Boom-Boom" Alcivar (5-0, 3 KOs) completely dominated her opponent Savanna "The Lioness" Hill (7-9, 4 KOs)to score a unanimous decision victory in their 6-rounder. Displaying exceptional movement and combination punching, Alcivar blooded Hill's nose in the second round and picked her apart while moving away from the tough opponent from Ft. Hill Arkansas. Though Hill possessed the heart of a "lioness" she had no answer for Alcivar's superior technique and judges scored it 60-53 and 60-54 (twice) for Alcivar.
Swedish heavyweight David Loy (2-0, 1 KO) overcame visa issues to showcase his talent in a US debut against Justin "Rage" Riegle (3-6, 1 KO). The former Swedish national amateur champion's serene countenance never changed during his clinical administration of pain upon his overmatched Ohio opponent.
Loy displayed surprisingly good movement and footwork for a big man as he stepped into Riegle with sharp jabs and hurtful right hands. Three straight rights dazed Riegle to start the second round and he backed to the corner ropes. Loy used the opportunity to unload a devastating overhand right that reverberated up to the nosebleed sections of the stadium. Although Riegle stayed standing, the fight had left him and referee Frank Gentile mercifully waved it off at 58 seconds of round two.
Demonstrating a heavyweight heart matching his talent, Loy graciously donated his entire purse to the Susan G. Komen charity following the bout.
Cuban super-bantamweight Kadel Martinez (1-1) lost a unanimous decision to Puerto Rican Arturo Santiago (7-2-1, 4 KOs) in a 4-rounder. Overcoming an accidental head butt and resulting cut above the hairline that rained blood down his face in the first round, Santiago assaulted the Cuban with digging hooks to body and head. Martinez displayed better footwork, movement and defense but couldn't match Santiago's power or aggression and he ate a left hook from the Puerto Rican while stepping straight back at the end of the second. The punch staggered Martinez and he continued falling backwards to the canvas, followed by a standing eight count from referee Frank Santore Jr. after the bell.
Judges scored the bout 38-37 and 39-36 (twice) for Santiago.
Possibly the most impressive display this afternoon belonged to fellow Dream Team Boxing featherweight Yoandris "El Niño" Salinas (6-0, 3 KOs)as he destroyed Bahamian Ivan Moxey (2-2, 1 KO). Salinas was the third Dream Team fighter on the card, along with teammates Luis Ortiz and Kadel Martinez. Displaying a knowing smile and baby-faced exterior, Salinas seems to own an assassin's heart within the ring. Moxey started the fight as the busier fighter, moving and jabbing to try and slow Salinas from advancing towards him.
However, the relentless Cuban started opening up with heavy-handed shots midway through the first and didn't let up until the beginning of the third round. Following a dominating second round that could easily be scored 10-8(despite no knockdowns) Salinas stepped to Moxey to start the third.
Moxey pitched the Cuban weak, slow jabs while dancing to his left. Salinas waited, waited and swung- crushing Moxey with a single straight right hand to leave the Bahamian crumpled in a heap in the center of the ring.
It was a home run.
Physicians helped Moxey to a stool and attended him for several minutes following the knockout, which came at just 24 seconds of the third round.
In the first bout of the afternoon, local Palm Beach Gardens heavyweight Sanlee "Sean" Bennett (1-0, 1 KO) scored a TKO victory in his professional debut over Mexican Alex Cruz "Funky Cold" Medina (1-10-1, 1 KO). Bennett's superior stature and conditioning allowed him to easily outpoint Medina until the third round. Bennett stepped up the attack and backed the Mexican into a corner to unload a flurry. Medina's corner had seen enough and stepped to the ring apron at 1:22 of the third round.

Unevaluated values of a[[i]]+b[[j]]
Dear group,
Suppose a have a = {3,4,4} and b = {4,3,8}.
I want to see the Unevaluated numerics values of a[[i]]*b[[j]],
a[[i]]+b[[j]], a[[i]]/b[[j]], a[[i]] - b[[j]].
The NonCommutativeMultiply operator (**) solves the case of a[[i]]*b[[j]].
But suppose I want to extend that NonCommutativeMultiply operator (**) to
others operations: +, -, / , i.e., see the Unevaluated numeric values of
a[[i]]+b[[j]], a[[i]]/b[[j]], a[[i]] - b[[j]]. Does anybody have a clue
how to do this ?
Suppose I have the expression for the roots of the quadratic equation: -
b[[index]]^2 + Sqrt[delta]/2*a[[index]]
How can I see at once all the numeric values unevaluated on that expression.
In short words, I have lenghtly expressions(with sums,subtraction,divisions
and multiplications and powers) and I want to check each numeric value of
each term in the original unevaluated formula containing elements such as a[[index]] .
I was thinking in a operator or function to solve all this issue.
Any help is very welcome,

Yelena Urlayeva was arrested a month ago for distributing leaflets bearing a political cartoon.
There has been a wave of arrests of government critics in Uzbekistan since an outbreak of violence in the town of Andijan four months ago.
Witnesses say Uzbek troops opened fire on a protest, killing civilians.
No visits
Ms Urlayeva was arrested in late August for distributing a cartoon in which Uzbekistan was depicted as a cow, with corrupt bureaucrats sucking milk from its udder.
She is now confined in Republican Psychiatric Hospital Number Two on the edge of Tashkent.
Neither lawyers nor relatives are allowed to visit her. But a reporter seeking information in the hospital grounds saw her at a barred window.
They want to transfer her to another part of the hospital where she said there were many political prisoners. And she said that if she was caught talking to anyone she feared she would be beaten again.
After her arrest, Ms Urlayeva was sent for psychiatric tests, but was declared to be in good mental health. The state prosecutor's office then used its prerogative to send her to the more severe Hospital Number Two, for further psychiatric tests.
'Soviet relic'
Hospital Number Two, for severe and dangerous psychiatric cases, is run like a prison, with little or no access to patients.
It is a relic of the Soviet Union, which critics say the Uzbek government uses just like its Soviet forebears to repress critics of its authoritarian policies.
An opposition group is also concerned about three students from Tashkent who disappeared 10 days ago after mounting a brief flashmob protest outside the American embassy here, calling for political reforms.
Neighbours saw the three young men being taken away in cars. The militia have not replied to contacts from lawyers, but the Uzbek authorities often do not bother to inform relatives after arresting people.

I don't know how many times we've looked out into the yard with 30 or more turkeys marching on through and said "Which one of those would we like to dine on tonight?" Belive me, there are some BIG turkeys around here. Of course, we can't kill 'em and gill 'em, as Uncle Ted would say, 'cause it's in town.

Ahhh someone is about to be bit hard by the 1911 bug :)
Great story, and thread.
My experiences with women and CCW have all positive over the last 20+ years I have carried. Especially if they see you as mature, rational, and not on some ego trip because you can carry a firearm -- kudos to the OP for keeping his calm and handling the situation nicely.
I was on a second date with a woman last summer -- we had driven to the beach for the sunset, and were sitting in the truck as darkness fell. My Officer's 1911 was safe behind the seat. Another truck pulled in front of mine, and stopped about 75 feet out -- revving the engine, then pulling donuts. There wasn't another vehicle or person on the beach for a half mile or more either way, and it was really starting to get dark. After about a minute of them pulling this crap and me starting to feel the hair on my neck stand up, I asked her to slide forward. I reached back and pulled out my pistol as I sort of apologized -- "I don't want to startle you, but . . ." Then I started the truck and started forward -- and they took off.
Her reply? "My man's gonna protect me!"
I think it's a primeval thing -- women want to be protected, and men want to be cared for.
Yeah for C paul lincoln,
"I think it's a primeval thing -- women want to be protected, and men want to be cared for."
When i read the OP, I was laughing at those street punks and saying to myself awesome. They were probably trying to maintain their "image" and got something they didn't expect:) I find most bullies and intimidators immediately stop when something doesn't go their way or some thing unexpected is said.
10rnds was probably more than needed for that group. But, now you have a reason to tell your self to carry that 16 rnder plus another 10 right

Prostate cancer screening claims and codes
Reprinted from July 1999 CAP TODAY
Medicare has given its carriers instructions on how to handle claims
for Prostate cancer screenings required by the Balanced Budget Act of
The 1997 law made numerous changes to Medicare, including expanding the
program's coverage of preventive care. Under the law, Medicare will cover
annual Prostate cancer screenings, starting Jan. 1, for men who are a
minimum age of 50 years. Covered screenings include digital rectal examination
and prostate-specific antigen tests.
A recent program transmittal from the Health Care Financing Administration
instructs carriers that claims for prostate cancer screening tests should
be submitted on Health Insurance Claim Form HCFA-1500 or an electronic
Providers should use HCPCS code G0102 for the digital rectal examination
and code G0103 for PSA blood testing. HCFA said carriers should set payment
for G0102 on a reasonable cost basis using CPT code 99211 as a guide.
Further, carriers should pay for G0103 under the clinical laboratory fee
schedule consistent with the amounts paid for CPT codes 84153 or 86316.
The digital rectal examination must be performed by, and the PSA test
must be ordered by, a doctor of medicine or osteopathy, physician assistant,
nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or certified midwife, reported
Also beginning Jan. 1, the Common Working File will include prostate
cancer screening edits that check claims for proper age, test or procedure
frequency, gender, and HCPCS code.

Five years ago, Deborah Knickerbocker was given three alpacas from someone leaving town. Today, she runs Busy Bobbin Alpaca Ranch in Marana and has 29 alpacas roaming the property.
When Knickerbocker first took in the alpacas, she knew very little about the animals. Today she not only raises them, but is a professional spinner, who makes a number of goods and crafts from their fiber.
"I found out I have a real aptitude for spinning," Knickerbocker said.
Knickerbocker spins the yarn using an old fashioned wooden spinning wheel after first being carded by hand as well. It is a very hands-on process, but one that Knickerbocker finds both rewarding and relaxing.
Alpacas are South American camelids that resemble small llamas. They are related to camels, and will spit if they feel threatened. Knickerbocker's husky puppy found out the hard way that these animals will take aim if scared or annoyed.
They produce fiber that is very similar to wool, but actually has several advantages.
"You don't have to wash it before you use the fiber," Knickerbocker said. "Wool has lanolin. With wool you have to wash or boil it. With alpaca fiber in Arizona you can kind of shake it out and go ahead and spin with it."
Another advantage is that alpaca fiber is warmer than wool.
After inheriting the alpacas, Knickerbocker learned to spin the fiber and makes yarn and felt. She is now a professional spinner who also teaches other how to spin. She does the bulk of her spinning at a small workshop on the farm, but she will also spin at the Marana Farm Co-op's Farmers Market and at the Arizona Renaissance Festival. She also works with the ACME Art Studio, a non-profit that provides art experiences for a variety of people in the Marana area. Part of it is therapeutic and adaptive arts and crafts and the farm helps provide yarn and felt that is used to make goods that people in the program sell at a variety of venues. Some in the program also help care for the alpacas.
The farm has both Hucaya and Suri alpacas. The Suris have longer fiber that can resemble dreadlocks before they are sheared, while the Hucaya have spongier, shorter fibers.
Alpacas are social animals and when they realize that people are not a threat they can be very friendly. They are not just friendly with people, they are also very social with each other. In fact they form cliques, usually by age, and hate being alone.
"They do not do well without more of their own kind," Knickerbocker explained. In fact she will only sell someone two or more alpacas at one time.
Another advantage of the alpacas is that they do not give off a lot of odor. Although she has 29 on the property, you'd be hard pressed to smell them, even after a rainfall.
"They do not smell, even when it is wet there is no smell," Knickerbocker explained.
"The neighbors actually love them," Knickerbocker added.
Knickerbocker takes great pride in being as responsible as possible with the care of the animals. She recently rescued 14 alpacas from a ranch that closed due to foreclosure. She is careful to keep the males and females separated so that there are no unwanted pregnancies. She also shears the animals just once a year. Each alpaca can yield 5-6 pounds of fiber and alpaca yarn generally sells for $6-10 an ounce.
One of the challenges is keeping the alpacas safe. They must be kept in an enclosed area that can keep predators out. A single coyote or aggressive dog can kill several of the animals.
When they were first brought over to America in the 1980s there was a high demand. Animals sold for several thousand dollars and clothing made from the fiber was in high demand. The animals were also shown, much like horses are, which still goes on today. Today alpacas sell for just a few hundred dollars, though they are still quite popular to show. Knickerbocker does not show them, which means she does not have to be choosy when taking new animals in.
It is quite obvious that Knickerbocker has great affection for the animals. Each one has a name and she can identify them quite easily, though they have nametags for the rest of us. Although she confesses that they are not the brightest animals, she is quite taken by their docile and friendly nature.
"They are a joy to watch," Knickerbocker said.

Historian and priest Coogan honoured with plaque
SLANE priest and historian Dean Anthony Coogan is to be honoured with the erection of a plaque at his former home, this Saturday at 11am.
Mimnagh's shop on Main Street is the birthplace of the prolific priest.
Anthony Coogan was born in 1826, one of five sons and three daughters of baker Thomas Coogan and his wife Ann Sillary.
A former Protestant who turned Catholic to marry Thomas, Ann purchased a substantial house and farm at Shalvanstown, Slane, for her son Charles.
Two other sons became surgeons in the army.
Anthony went to school locally then attended St Finian's Seminary in Navan (now moved to Mullingar) where he studied for the priesthood, becoming a dean shortly afterwards.
Noted for both his academic and humanitarian work, Dean Coogan published three volumes on the history of the Diocese of Meath, the only ecclesiastical history on the churches and graveyards of the diocese.
He also did a lot of research on priests in the penal days and drew great inspiration from them.
He spent 15 years as a priest in Navan where he founded the Catholic Young Men's Society in 1863.
He also did a lot of work on behalf of the poor people of Navan, fighting against bigotry and intolerance, working to relieve their squalor and overcrowding.
Dean Coogan's Trojan work was cut short when he died at the age of 45.
Research into his life and work has led Sheila Crehan, secretary of Slane Historical Society, to believe that Dean Anthony Coogan was a hugely charismatic figure.
'By all accounts he was a great preacher and was in great demand in Liverpool where he was often invited to preach to the Irish congregations there,' said Ms Crehan.
Dean Coogan's nearest surviving relative is Ray Coogan, from Slane and his daughter Mary McDonnell of Tullyallen. More members of the Coogan clan reside in Rathkenny.
It is hoped that many will turn up on the day to honour their forebearer.
The ceremony will be performed by Professor Alfred Smyth of Canterbury University and Very Reverend Fr Gerry Rice.
All are welcome to attend the ceremony.
Prof Smyth was in Slane two years ago to give a talk and at that time, suggested a Coogan memorial.
Slane Historical Society has been working on it since then.
Refreshments will follow in the Conyngham Arms Hotel.

Catholic Clergy Sex Abuse: Documents Prove Milwaukee Archdiocese Shielded Suspected Pedophile Priests
Newly-released documents prove Roman Catholic Church officials in Milwaukee protected accused pedophile priests from criminal prosecution.
According to the New York Times, the documents also prove that the highest-ranking Catholic clergyman in the United States, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, sought permission from the Vatican to transfer tens of millions of dollars into a trust fund in an attempt to protect Church assets from being paid out to victims of clergy sex abuse.
Reuters reports that 6,000 pages of documents related to eight decades of sex abuse cases were released on Monday. Among the files are letters and deposition testimony from Dolan, who was archbishop of Milwaukee from 2002 through 2009, which show he appealed to the Vatican on multiple occasions seeking the transfer of nearly $57 million into a cemetery trust fund in a bid to shield the money from lawsuit and settlement payouts to victims of pedophile priests and other abusive clergy. Court documents reveal Dolan sought the transfer to protect the funds "from any legal claim and liability." The Vatican approved the transfer about a month later.
Cardinal Dolan is now the archbishop of New York, as well as president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He has publicly voiced his outrage at the clergy sex abuse scandal and apologized to victims. He has also vowed to help both the Church and its victims heal. But he has also incurred the wrath of survivors of abuse by verbally attacking some victims and calling SNAP— the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests– liars.
Dolan's past record in dealing with abusive clergy has also come under fire. Last June, it was revealed that he devised and implemented a 2003 plan in which suspected pedophile priests were paid $20,000 to leave the ministry. Instead of notifying police about accusations of abuse, Dolan effectively paid off suspected child rapists and molesters to make them go away.
In 2011, the Milwaukee archdiocese declared bankruptcy due to the financial strain resulting from clergy sex abuse claims. The judge in charge of the bankruptcy proceedings ordered the release of the damning documents.
All told, the Catholic Church has paid out a total of nearly $3 billion to US victims of abusive clergy. Milwaukee was the eighth US archdiocese to declare bankruptcy.
Dolan, who was far from the only leading US Catholic official to shield suspected child-raping priests and clergy from prosecution (Cardinal Roger Mahoney, the former Archbishop of Los Angeles, is the second-highest ranking guilty official), denied that his request to transfer the $57 million had anything to do with protecting the money from sex abuse claims. On Monday Dolan said that he only intended to transfer the funds into a 'perpetual care fund' to be spent maintaining Church cemeteries, Reuters reports.

The ability of rhesus macaques to draw shapes from memory suggests that monkeys may have as-yet-unexplored powers of recall, possibly similar in some ways to human recollection.
In earlier studies, macaques have recognized previously-seen objects. Psychologists consider recall to involve different cognitive capacities than recognition, which seems to use different parts of the brain and is arguably less demanding. Recognition is just a matching task, but recall hints at a richer life of the mind.
"The question that was driving us was, 'How would you know if an animal was thinking about or remembering something that wasn't there?'" said psychologist Benjamin Basile of Emory University. "The difference between recall and recognition is really critical."
In a study published April 28 in Current Biology, Basile and Emory psychologist Robert Hampton showed five rhesus macaques simple figures on a computer touch screen, then displayed the figures in a partial form that the monkeys drew to complete.
'Whether monkeys sit there and recollect the past, we don't know. Whether they use it in their daily lives, we don't know. These are fascinating questions.'
The monkeys passed the test. If their monkeys' capabilities are replicated in other labs, researchers can begin to investigate the phenomenon in greater detail.
"Whether monkeys sit there and recollect the past, we don't know. What we believe we found in these lab studies is that they can recollect simple information, over short time periods," said Basile. "Whether they use it in their daily lives, we don't know. These are fascinating questions."
The questions lead towards what monkeys think and feel — something that can't be completely quantified with current methodologies, and some researchers argue that long-term field observations of monkeys are undervalued in comparison to their performance on human-designed lab tests.
But those tests are the benchmarks of cognitive science, and monkey cognition is an intellectually compelling subject of inquiry. With more than 100,000 monkeys currently housed in U.S. laboratories, it's also ethically compelling.
An open question is whether, and to what degree, monkeys might possess what psychologists call a "theory of mind," or the ability to think about thinking, and to ascribe mental states and feelings to other creatures.
Chimpanzees are considered by some researchers to possess something like a theory of mind, but cognition in macaques is considered less advanced. However, some studies suggest that macaques may demonstrate conscious intent, understand the differences between their own experiences and those of others, and recognize themselves in mirrors — all of which are pieces of a theory of mind. So, too, is recall.
"How complex can their recall performance be? We don't really know. It's certainly possible they do something similar to what we do when recalling information, but not as complex or long-lasting," said Basile.
Ronald Green, a bioethicist at Dartmouth University, cautioned against over-interpreting such studies. Just because animals demonstrate a series of mental capacities doesn't mean they're persons, at least not in the way humans define the concept.
Such findings do, however, underscore the importance of our obligations to monkeys in research, he said.
"It's a mistake to jump from some capacities to the claim of moral beings," said Green. "We're the moral beings — and understanding that means we have to make judgments about the use of animals in research environments."

The recipe for homemade condensed coconut milk was a sweet revelation. It has only two ingredients, canned coconut milk and agave syrup. The two ingredients were easy. The difficult part was watching it for hours while it cooked down to the desired consistency. But, oh, what a result!
I was going to be in the kitchen most of the day anyway converting another recipe to gluten-free and vegan so it's not like I stood around patting my foot and waiting for the timer every 15 minutes. But it did take much longer than I expected – like maybe 5-6 hours. As it thickened the heat had to be constantly adjusted to keep it from boiling over, 'glurping' spatters all over the stove, or scorching.
Condensed Coconut Milk Recipe at -> And Love It Too
I declared it 'done', poured it into a glass jar, and put it in the refrigerator. It looks like 'dulce de leche' which is an incredibly decadent caramel sauce thought to have been invented in Argentina. This vegan version is better – it has a toasted coconut undertone which makes it even more scrumptious!
Combine this condensed sweetened coconut milk recipe with the recipes for Vietnamese Iced Coffee found on the internet and you have an awesome beverage. I don't have the dark roast coffee beans or the fancy little press specified for the classic recipes. Just using my favorite instant coffee produced a wonderful taste experience without the expense of a coffee shop version. So give it a try with your coffee preference or whatever you have on hand.
Vietnamese Style Iced Coffee – single serving
4 ounces of double-strength coffee
2 tablespoons condensed sweetened coconut milk
4 ounces of other non-dairy milk (I used Almond Breeze)
5 drops vanilla
6 drops liquid stevia (adjust for your personal taste)
Ice cubes (preferably made with stevia sweetened coffee)
Pour the hot (or lukewarm) coffee into a 12-16 ounce glass. Heat helps to dissolve the condensed milk which is quite thick. Stir vigorously. Add the remainder of the ingredients and then the ice. Stir again.
Prepare a pitcher full of this for multiple servings to share with family and friends!
Vietnamese Style Hot Coffee – single serving
4 ounces of double-strength coffee
2 tablespoons condensed sweetened coconut milk
4 ounces of other non-dairy milk (I used Almond Breeze)
5 drops vanilla
6 drops liquid stevia (adjust for your personal taste)
Pour the hot coffee in your cup. Heat helps to dissolve the condensed milk which is quite thick. Add the remainder of the ingredients and heat in the microwave.
This could easily be prepared it in a small sauce pan on the stove. Or use a larger pan for multiple servings.
This post is linked to:
Wellness Weekend October 20-24, 2011
at Ricki Heller's Blog – Diet, Dessert, and Dogs.
Notes: While the sweetened condensed milk is like candy, using stevia for the remainder of the sweetening keeps the calories per serving (SWAG) to about: 188 and the carbohydrates to about 13 net carbs. The coconut oil accounts for most of the calories. Not bad for such a special treat.

I don't seem to have blogged about actual sewing for a while, but while I am sewing a lot, I don't want to bore you with constant pictures of all the crochet rolls, knitting needle rolls and bags I've been making lately!
I love getting asked to make items that I don't make so often - especially baby gifts. There is just something about pulling out pastels and snuggly soft terry cloth!
|Baby burp cloths
The latest of my baby makes include burp cloths - above, and adorable bibs -
I've made bibs a few times now, and with each new one I make they never fail to make me just a teensy bit broody!
Aren't they just adorable?
You may remember the pictures I made last summer for 2 sisters, well, they now have a new baby cousin and I was asked to make a similar picture for them to give to him as a gift. How lovely again to be able to choose some lovely pastel colours for a newborn baby boy. Here is his applique picture -
Meanwhile, my evenings are still filled with cosying up with my crochet and my blanket is slowly growing...

We all had the opportunity for some real political fun this week when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama contradicted each other in the CNN/YouTube debate. If you did not already see it, one of the YouTube questioners asked the candidates whether they would be willing to meet with the leaders of rogue nations, without preconditions, during their first year in office. Obama answered that he would. Clinton answered that she would not.
Those are differing positions, right? Diametrically opposed, actually? Well, maybe not, or at least not according to Jonathan Alter of Newsweek. In his July 27 article "Talking to Dictators," Alter wrote: "[o]n the substance, their views are almost indistinguishable." Indistinguishable?
Alter's surprising conclusion comes after his own summary of the post-debate fracas between Clinton and Obama:
Over the next three days, hostilities escalated. After first sending out an aide to "clarify" what he meant (a sure sign he thought he had lost the exchange), Obama decided to use the moment to reiterate his position. It's arrogant, he said, for a U.S. president to view his presence at a meeting as a reward for good behavior, and his refusal to meet as punishment. And no matter what you do, there's always propaganda from the other side. Hillary, sensing a chance to reinforce the experience gap, called Obama's position "naive."
This, in turn, gave Obama an opening to prove that he can counterpunch—something Democrats are desperate for their candidates to do more often. It was especially important for Obama to show he was not "Obambi," and he seemed to relish the chance. But he may have overreached in referring to Hillary's approach as "Bush-Cheney lite," and not just because he delivered it too harshly. In 2000, John McCain ran into trouble in the critical South Carolina primary in part by comparing his opponent, Gov. George W. Bush, to President Bill Clinton, the incumbent and a loathed figure inside the GOP. The move backfired. Republican primary voters didn't like seeing one of their own compared to the hated incumbent of the other party. Today's Democratic primary voters no doubt feel the same.
Hillary took quiet but effective umbrage at the "Bush-Cheney lite" line and scored with a passive-aggressive shot at Obama for betraying the "politics of hope." This was part of her strategy of trying to turn Obama into a hypocrite every time he says something critical.
Alter managed to compliment both candidates following the war of words, calling Clinton "calm and mature," while describing Obama as having "reinforced his image as a sharp break from the status quo, which Democrats want." Alter declared that Clinton probably prevailed in the short term, but that Obama's favorable impression will linger through the campaign.
So what exactly is going on here? The two leading Democratic candidates contradict each other, then trade verbal barbs for three days, but yet they're both sly politicians with "indistinguishable" positions? Is Alter reporting the news, or is he trying to keep the peace among the Democrats? Or, as Mark Finkelstein asked in a prior post, is Alter trying to preserve Obama's potential as a vice presidential candidate, notwithstanding the heated exchange?
After carefully explaining away any discontent within the Democratic party, Alter then turned his attention to Republican candidate Mitt Romney, tagging him as a demagogue for comparing Obama to Neville Chamberlain. By Alter's analysis, Clinton and Obama would be fabulous diplomats while Romney (and by extension, all the Republican candidates) would be out-of-touch.
"[Clinton and Obama] both echo the line of John F. Kennedy (actually Ted Sorensen, now an Obama man) that "we must not negotiate out of fear—or fear to negotiate." Hillary has said repeatedly that she would talk to adversaries, and Obama made it clear that he would do the requisite diplomatic spadework before rushing into meetings. Both would take a page from former secretary of State James Baker and open talks with Syria, Iran and other rogue states.
Not the Republican candidates. They all apparently feel Baker is wrong and Bush is right—no talks. Introducing a note of demagoguery, Romney went so far as to compare Obama to Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister who flew to Munich in 1938 to appease Adolf Hitler. No Republicans objected. Their game—which they will play whomever the nominees turn out to be—is to position Republicans as Churchillian (Rudy Giuliani does this explicitly) and Democrats as appeasers. Munich is an old meme in American politics (Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan all used it). But it is especially inappropriate today.
You have to give Alter the "making lemons into lemonade" award on this one. The two leading Democrats argue opposite sides of the same issue, but it's the Republican Party that has it wrong.

NBC Releases Full 'Peter Pan Live!' Trailer: Watch Captain Hook Sing
Posted on Wednesday, November 19th, 2014 by Angie Han
Update: NBC has released a full length Peter Pan Live trailer. Watch it now embedded after the jump.
NBC's Sound of Music Live! was a bit of a disaster as an actual musical production. Lead Carrie Underwood couldn't act to save her life, and as a result the whole thing kind of fell flat. But Sound of Music Live! was an unambiguous success in terms of ratings, with 18.62 million viewers tuning in.
So NBC is trying the live musical thing again this winter with Peter Pan Live!, starring Allison Williams as the boy who never grew up and Christopher Walken as his embittered pirate nemesis. Watch the Peter Pan Live trailer after the jump. Read More »

HBO Announces Second Half of 2014 Documentary Schedule
HBO presents a compelling array of timely and thought-provoking documentaries every Monday night in the second half of 2014. Among the new films to debut in the weekly slot are Kate Davis and David Heilbroner's THE NEWBURGH STING, an inside look at the rarely told story of the FBI's involvement in a homegrown terror case, Jeremiah Zagar's CAPTIVATED: THE TRIALS OF PAMELA SMART, a look at the first trial televised gavel-to-gavel and the media circus surrounding it, Steve Buscemi's A GOOD JOB: STORIES OF THE FDNY, showing what it's like to work in one of the most demanding fire departments in the world, HUNTED: THE WAR AGAINST GAYS IN RUSSIA, the searing story of a group that terrorizes gay men and women, and a holiday family special SAVING MY TOMORROW: KIDS CARE FOR THE PLANET, spotlighting young environmental activists.
Upcoming HBO documentaries include (in chronological order):
The Newburgh Sting (July 21) reveals the rarely told story of the FBI's involvement in the homegrown terror case of the "Newburgh Four." Four street criminals with no history of violence or terrorist political ties, from an impoverished and largely African-American community, were drawn by a Pakistani FBI informant into a carefully orchestrated plot to bomb Jewish synagogues in a wealthy suburb of New York City and fire Stinger missiles at U.S. military supply planes. Their dramatic arrest resulted in 25-year prison sentences. Many political figures lauded the case as a victory in the war on terror, but others lambasted the sting as entrapment. Featuring previously unseen FBI hidden camera footage, insights from Muslim leaders and high-level Washington insiders, and intimate interviews with the families of the "Newburgh Four," the documentary offers startling insights into surveillance in a post-9/11 world.Directed by Kate Davis and David Heilbroner (HBO's Emmy®-winning "Jockey").
LOVE CHILD (July 28) explores the growing problem of Internet addiction through the story of a couple tried in South Korea in 2010 for the negligent death of their infant daughter due to their obsessive online gaming. Director Valerie Veatch (HBO's "Me @the Zoo") skillfully weaves a tale of personal tragedy together with social commentary, shining a light on how new technology can have unforeseen dire consequences. The film documents the first trial for internet addiction and the subsequent ruling that set a global precedent in a world where the line between real life and virtual reality can blur. An official selection of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, the documentary is executive produced by John Legere (CEO of T-Mobile).
NIXON BY NIXON: IN HIS OWN WORDS (Aug. 4) explores the complex facets of Richard Nixon through thousands of hours of recently declassified audiotapes recorded in the White House. The revealing documentary captures his blunt and candid observations on the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers leak and his Supreme Court appointments, as well as his thoughts on women, people of color, Jews and the media. Peter Kunhardt (HBO's "Gloria: In Her Own Words" and the Emmy®-winning "Teddy: In His Own Words") directs.
CAPTIVATED: THE TRIALS OF PAMELA SMART (Aug. 18) takes a new look at a story everyone thought they knew: The trial of 21-year-old New Hampshire woman Pamela Smart, who was accused of plotting the 1990 murder of her husband. As the first fully televised, gavel-to-gavel, court case, the trial gave birth to reality TV. The film explores how the media's coverage of the story may have influenced the trial and sentencing. In addition to interviews with prosecuting and defending attorneys, and journalists covering the case at the time, the film includes insights from Smart's friends and acquaintances, including childhood friends and former inmates who served time with her, as well the first post-release interview with one of the boys convicted in the case and an intimate new interview with Smart herself. Directed by Jeremiah Zagar (HBO's "In a Dream").
A GOOD JOB: STORIES OF THE FDNY (Sept. 8), a film by Liz Garbus (HBO's Emmy®-winning "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib") and actor Steve Buscemi (a former New York City firefighter), explores what it's like to work in one of the most demanding fire departments in the world, where going to work means risking it all. From old New York to the post-9/11 landscape, the film reveals the immense mental and physical toll that fire-fighting takes on individuals, and on the community borne out of sharing an incredible responsibility.
