yellow-green to dark bluish green of flabby texture like
up to 15 cm tall, 10 cm in diameter، distinctly ribbed.
Ribs: About 13
high and 1-2 mm wide, very evident, thin,
wavy on the margin, straight or more or less spiralled.
Long fibrous.
Areoles : ±
circular, 5-8(-14) mm long, 2-7 mm wide, 15 mm apart, with short
wool and finally naked: Areoles typically bear extrafloral nectaries.
Both radials and centrals, white
or yellowish and brown
radials 12 to 16 (10-30 mm long),
central 1 to 3 one of them usually
hooked, longer than the radials, 6 to 40 mm long (or more).
Tubercles absent.
Flower: Silky
yellow with orange to darker red
throat , 3 - 7 cm across, 3,8 - 5,2(7) cm long. Inner perianth
segments oblong, acute, widely spreading. Flowers-bud pointed, covered
with imbricated naked scales (whithout wool or bristles in the axil).
Flower-tube narrow, funnelform.
Fruit: Red and

basally at full
Seeds: 1,3-1,7 mm
long and 0,5 -0,8 mm diameter, black tuberculate, hilum large basal,
Phenology: Summer
Blossoming time:
It flowers very well, even when quite young, producing lots flowers in
succession all
the past several forms with different spine and stem size, flowers and
fruit colour have been described and some authors gave them a variety
name, however they grows at the same locality and under the same
condition, so nowadays all them are considered part of a polymorphic
species. For example:
H. setispinus hamatus With long hooked central spines.
H. setispinus hamatus fa. flavibaccatus whith yellow
H. setispinus setaceus With very thin spines.
H. setispinus brevispinus With very short central spines.
Cultivation: This species is easy
and well worth growing, wonderful when grown in
containers as a patio plant in colder climates. Require little care once they have reached a
nice flowering size H. setispinus is suited for any
rich, well drained soil in full sun throughout the year (But do
better with some light shade in summer). Pot culture: grow best in a
well-drained container filled with a porous cactus soil mixture that
doesn t contain too much humus. To insure robust plants water and
fertilize during the aestival growth cycle, this plant need plenty
of water (indicatively to about once a week) But needs to be avoided
wetting the bodies of these plants while they are in sunlight. A wet
cactus in the sun light can cause sun burning which can lead to
scars or even fungal infections and death. Care must be taken to
prevent sooty
mould forming on the
secretions from near the
Frost Tolerance: In winter keep completely
dry at 5°C this usually aids in maintaining a healthier plant, but
it is hardy as less as -12 to -7°C
depending on the
origin. (Temperature
Zone: USDA 9-11)
Reproduction: Seeds or cutting. Seeds are the typical way of
reproducing. These cacti will easily grow from seeds and some from
cuttings. Seeds can be sown in the spring or summer in well-drained
pots of cactus soil، sow the seeds thinly on top. Cover them with a
bit of fine quartz grit. Moisten and lay a piece of glass across the
top. The pots should be set in a warm greenhouse until they start to
sprout, after which the glass should be progressively removed so
they can receive full light and air. It isn t good to keep the
glass over the seedlings. Well-developed seedlings can be planted
separately in small pots.
Cuttings made from pieces of the stem of any size can be detached
and laid aside for a few days, to allow a protective "skin" to form
over the cut. They can then be planted in pots. Place them in a spot
where they ll receive sun, and do not water until the soil becomes
fairly dry. After a while the soil should be moistened regularly,
but never kept constantly saturated.

What Lindsay Lohan and Linda Lovelace Have in Common
5 Things Lindsay Lohan and Linda Lovelace Have in Common
Yesterday Buzz told us Lindsay Lohan will play "deep throat" Linda Lovelace in Inferno, a period piece on the porn-chic era of the '70s. Famous for starring in Deep Throat, the highest grossing porn film ever, in 1972, Lovelace was best known until her 2002 death for the onscreen deep-throat fellatio she performed. Though she later denounced pornography, and became an antiporn activist, the '70s was a frolicking time for her and the porn scene.
While Lindsay's late-night romps seem like child's play compared to Linda's onscreen deeds, the scandalous reputations of both actresses beg for comparisons. So here are five things Lindsay Lohan and Linda Lovelace have in common.
- LL and LiLo: Obvious and meaningless, but a fantastic coincidence nonetheless.
- Religion: Both were raised Roman Catholic. Though Linda's upbringing was strict, Lindsay's was far more reformed and she has since left the Church. Lindsay does, however, come from stern Catholic stock. Her great-grandfather is rumored to have founded the pro-life party on Long Island.
- Controlling men: While Linda's story is more tragic — coerced by pimps and abused by husbands — Lindsay has had her own controlling man to deal with. Dad Michael Lohan.
Read the rest below.
- Love-hate relationship with public: With highly publicized struggles with drugs and could-not-care-less images, both have struggled with the public's hot-cold feelings. Inferno producer Wali Razaqi told People Lindsay can relate to Linda's ups and downs, and that's an asset. "One week she's the 'it' girl, and the next, she's the 'What are you doing?' girl."
- The Sinatra connection: OK, Lindsay personally never had anything to do with Frank Sinatra, but this opens the door to a fun fact. In Lindsay's last dash with portraying iconic stars, she replicated well-known Sinatra mistress Marilyn Monroe's last photo shoot in New York magazine. Linda had her own rendezvous with old blue. The singer was so enamored with her that he and his wife had group sex with Linda and her husband.

EL PASO — The scene before them was so stunning, they had to lean on one another for support.
Inside a church storage room in El Paso were 30 boxes containing brand-new football jerseys, shin guards, helmets, shoulder pads, shoes and socks — "everything and more than we ever imagined and dreamed," said Fernando Gallegos, coach of the Jaguares, a football team that has struggled with tragedy across the border in Ciudad Juárez.
The donation of at least $30,000 in equipment was the brainchild of Rick Gage, a Dallas native who was inspired by a story last fall in The Dallas Morning News about a team that rose from disaster to provide a silver lining in a troubled region of Mexico marked by violence. Gage, a pastor and former football coach and Texas junior college player, organized fellow churchgoers of Atlanta-based Go Tell Ministries to help the team.
"The needs in Juárez are enormous," Gage said in a telephone interview. "There are needs all over the world, but this happens to be a need we came across and were inspired to help. As a former football coach and player, it just made sense; it felt right. We were greatly moved and touched."
This Super Bowl weekend, Gage and some of the supporters will travel to Juárez, where they plan to gather for a memorial service to honor victims of a massacre that shook Mexico four years ago. Gage and supporters plan to present the football equipment to team members and then gather to watch the matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
In Juárez, a city long scarred by killings carried out by rival gangs battling over routes for smuggling illegal drugs into the United States, the big game is sometimes referred to with irony as the "marijuana bowl," a reference to the two teams' states — Washington and Colorado — which have both legalized recreational pot use.
"So many victims, so much bloodshed, and for what?" asked Lupita Davila, a mother of one of those victims. "But our mission is to move forward, not look back."
Super Bowl weekend marks the fourth anniversary of the killings in Villas de Salvarcar, a working-class neighborhood on the outskirts of the city that witnessed the slaying of 15 people by hitmen operating on the wrong information. Instead of killing rival gang members, the gunmen shot mostly young people celebrating a birthday party in a private home.
Among the victims were two star football players, Rodrigo Cadena, Davila's son, and Juan Carlos Medrano. Their sculpted busts are displayed at a playing field in Ciudad Juárez, serving as an inspiration for current players.
Last year, despite using hand-me-down equipment and uniforms stitched together by hand, old footballs and a practice field shared with soccer players, the team won the regional championship.
Gage had been planning an evangelical crusade to Ciudad Juárez when he came across an article about the team's challenges. He began making phone calls. On his trip to Ciudad Juárez, he met with coaches, parents and players and wrote down their needs. He also invited them to the crusade, and "we held hands and prayed together like one people."
He promised them he'd help out. Few thought he would. Mexico, after all, doesn't have much of a culture of philanthropy.
"Many people promise you things," Davila said. "But few come through. He did, and this is a big blessing."
One noted El Pasoan applauded the pastor's generosity but also questioned why more is not done within Mexico.
"It would be nice if the wealthy families of Mexico would do something like that for their own people," said Benjamin Alire Saenz, a writer and poet. "Why can't they do something as beautiful as that?"
For now, the Juárez families are cherishing the moment. Holding up a pair of new cleats, Gallegos said, "Now these are real weapons — the true weapons our young people in Mexico need, not bullets."
"We dreamed of this, and now finally it's happened," Davila said as she snapped photos of the boxes to show to the players back in Juárez.
"Otherwise," she said, "they're not going to believe us."

How to help
The nonprofit El Paso Community Foundation (epcf.org) opened a 501(c)(3) account — Somos Fund — to help victims of violence in Ciudad Juárez, including the Villas de Salvarcar massacre.

"This development … will turn an underutilized City of Tacoma parking lot into a thriving community for approximately 300 people, with 34 affordable units and ground-level retail amenities," says mayor Marilyn Strickland.
The Amazon U.S. fulfillment network consists of more than 50 fulfillment centers, over 20 sortation centers and more than 90,000 full-time employees. The company is hiring around 2,500 people in the South Sound for the holiday shopping season.

Updated: Danville plant to idle 254 workers
Updated 4:47 p.m. Wednesday.
(Editor's note: An earlier version of this story said the plant would close).
DANVILLE — Freight Car America Inc. is idling its Danville plant, according to company officials.
The rail car manufacturing company filed a notice with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development, stating that the plant will be laying off workers beginning April 18 and extending through May 2. According to the notice, 254 workers will be affected by layoffs at the facility at 2313 Cannon St. on Danville's east side.
Joe McNeely, vice president of finance with Freight Car America, said Wednesday afternoon that the plant is not closing but will be idled and workers laid off due to a slowdown in rail car orders. He said the company continues to pursue new orders, and workers would be called back if orders are received.
The company filed the layoff notice in February in accordance with the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which was signed into law on August 15, 2004, and requires employers to provide 60 days advance notice of pending plant closures or mass layoffs. The law applies to business enterprises with 75 or more employees, excluding part-time employees, according to the DCEO web site. Union employees at the plant are represented by the United Auto Workers Local 2419.
The Chicago-based company, which has manufacturing facilities in Danville and in Roanoke, Va., manufactures railroad freight cars, with particular expertise in coal-carrying cars. The Danville plant, established in the early 1900s as the main car shop for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad, was acquired by Freight Car America in 1995. The 308,000-square-foot plant had grown from a repair facility to a manufacturer of new freight cars.

I believe these jobs are going to the Muscle Shoals Al. area. I doubt the loss of these jobs are do to poor coal sales. More likely the company wanting to get away from the U.A.W. and the anti business climate in Illinois. This is sad because Alabama spends billions of dollars to recruit companies to their state, although mostly foreign, at the cost of other american jobs. This is likely the end of the Danville facilty.
Alabama here we come. http://timesdaily.com/stories/Navistar-FreightCar-team-up-at-Barton-plan...

Blue Flaming Pinecones
Introduction: Blue Flaming Pinecones
Are you a pyromaniac? Do you enjoy setting things on fire, yet feel artistically confined by the boring yellow color of ordinary flames? Thanks to the marvels of modern science you can easily diversify your palette. By marinating pinecones in the right chemicals you can make them burn blue, green, all the colors of the rainbow. So grab your blowtorch and let's start cooking!
Step 1: Get Some Metal Salts
You can change the color of fire by adding metal salts to a burning object. The easiest way to accomplish this is to make a solution of the metal salt in water or alcohol, marinate whatever you want to burn, then let it dry. Pinecones are a good medium because they have a lot of surface area and act as a sponge. But you can use sawdust, twigs, you name it.
Different metals will burn different colors. Your homework assignment is to provide a detailed explanation why this occurs, based on first principals of quantum chemistry. For now please accept the following conversion chart:
blue = copper chloride (CuCl2)
green = copper sulfate (CuSO4)
red = strontium chloride (SrCl2)
purple = potassium sulfate (K2SO4)
white = magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)
In my experience copper chloride works the best by far, giving bright blue flaming pinecones that are sure to impress even the most discerning pyromaniac. The green and red from CuSO4 and SrCl2 are also attractive. Magnesium sulfate (white) and potassium sulfate (purple) didn't do much of anything to the color of the fire for me, so I'd say skip those two. My sources tell me there are other combinations you can try.
Of all the chemicals listed above, only MgSO4 can be purchased at the drugstore (in the form of epsom salts; magnesium sulfate heptahydrate). For the rest you'll have to do a little hunting. Strontium salts are commonly found in road flares, for example. Suppliers for pyrotechnics, photography and rocketry are also a good source. Google product search turns up a surprising number of results for copper chloride. You may find these salts in their anhydrous or hydrated forms, which doesn't matter since you're going to dissolve them in water anyway.
Note that all of these things are bad for you if ingested, so be careful to wash your hands after handling, and try not to spill the CuSO4 in your coffee. Gloves might be smart.
Step 2: Prepare Coloring Solutions
Make solutions of the different colorants for soaking your pinecones. Place a bunch of the metal salt in the bottom of the glass jar (the actual amount doesn't really matter) and enough water to dissolve it all. For strontium chloride and copper chloride you can use 70% isopropyl alcohol instead, which I prefer because it dries a lot quicker.
Add the pinecones and let them soak for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Dry the Pinecones
Use a pair of tongs to remove the pinecones (don't get the salt solutions on your skin) and place them on a towel out in the sun. The towel will become soaked in chemicals, so don't ever use it again.
Once the pinecones are good and dry you are ready for action.
Step 4: Set Them on Fire
A final safety note: It's always a good idea to have a fire extinguisher on hand when you're burning things. And don't breath the fumes from the colored flames.
We did this stuff in chemistry class. We used a platinum wire loop to scoop up a bit of soaked salt and held it above a flame. We got a beautiful purple since there was nothing else to burn with it. You could also do this by sprinkling the salt directly over a fire.
doesn't matter, but blowtorch is better. Its hard to get a big fire that is easyu to control.
thanks. this was helpful information. turns out i'm doing a science project on this too. How did you get the cupric chloride and the strontium? epsom salts don't work for me too, but the salt substitute did.
hey guys for those of you living in australia there's a fantastic website called auschems unfortunately they only ship in australia but there good quality at a reasonable pricehttp://www.auschems.com/osc/index.php?cPath=21&sort=3a&page=1
Well... All I can say is that it hurts. A lot. And at higher purities it melts your skin.
The flames are beautiful, the blue being the most! I would love to know how I could get my hands on some of the Copper Chloride. Does anyone know where it could be purchased?
This place sells a lot of different chemicals, including copper chloride. $9.00 for 4 ounces isn't too bad...
You can buy Copper Suplhate (CuSO4) from Bunnings in the fertiliser section (It's in a pringles style tube) but not sure about the rest, I wouldn't mind knowing where to get some Copper Chloride (CuCl2) though!
Go buy some Hydrochloric acid, then put some copper wire in it and let it soak for a few days, until the solution turns green and all the copper is gone. Then heat it up to boil off the acid (OUTSIDE) and wait for it to crystallize.
*cough* sugar+gas=napalm
*snezze* cotton+gas=napalm
*achooo* mix gas with anything to thicken=napalm
No, not really. Cotton wouldn't stick very well. Use either motor oil (traditional) or styrofoam (cheap).
dissolve styrofoam in gasoline, then thicken it with something, and you have better napalm just plain gas isn't very good napalm.
can some sciencey person tell me how to put my very fine magnesium powder into liquid suspension? i am working on "natures flashbangs"
Hey man, I don't know how much pyro you do, but those are commonly used in artillery shells to make the stars burn different colors.... well not sure about magnesium sulfate... never played with that much. Anyway, the point of this reply is.....
If you REALLY want your "pine cones" to burn cool, mix a solution of Potassium Nitrate and Refined sugar into alcohol and then dissolve your metal salts into that. The result will be similar to self-lighting charcoal... but with king of a glitter effect....
Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) is also known as Saltpeter, and can be commonly found in 95-98% pure form in "Stump-out" and other forms of stump rot products.
The aprox mix ratio would be in the ball park of - 60% KNO3 + 40%
IT IS AN OXIDIZER... so do not store it mixed with or in combination with metals or metal salts for any length of time (couple days) because theoretically, being an oxidizer, it can spontaneously combust if oxidation develops enough residual heat.... never actually seen it happen... but all the same...
Have fun with that... BOXHARD
Let me also add that KNO3 and sugar make pretty good rocket fuel. It works better when you cook it, almost like making candy, and pour it into a tube then fit it with a nozle and let it cool. Clay makes a good nozle too by the way.... I guess I should do an Instructable about rockets or basic pyrotechnics sometime? Tell me what you think... which ever there is more request for I will do... If anyone tries cooking the mixture above... be very careful and use some common sense.... ALLWAYS, ALLWAYS, ALLWAYS!!!!!! - eye protection. And be sure to cook it on as low as your ELECTRIC stove can go...
What ratio do you use to make fuel out of saltpeter and sugar? because i've heard a lot of different things about that. First of all, doesn't saltpeter and sugar by themselves just make a smoke bomb? and to make fuel, dont you need a third ingredient, like sulfur or charcoal powder or sumthing? Or is that just to make gunpowder?
It all depends upon the type of rocket and nozzle shape. If you have a heavy rocket and need a lot of thrust, you need a wider nozzle and therefore a faster burning mixture... similarly if you have a lighter rocket, you want a smaller nozzle with a slower burn mix in order to achieve maximum climb height. So to answer you question, you are just gonna have to play around with it. The basic ratio for the most effecient burn is 60% KNO3 40% Sugar. As for a third ingredient, if this mixture burns to fast (adjust your nozzle first) but if you must slow it down charcoal would work. Not much will speed it up though. Sulfer is not a good idea with KNO3 and Sugar, makes it burn slower and it stinks. If you need a faster burning mixture, go with black powder... start by adding about 20% extra charcoal (airfloat charcoal, made from willow branches leaves a nice fluffy smoke behind) and keep adding more charcoal until your rockets no longer blow up mid-flight. lol And geez... as i'm writing this I see the link below... try that. Thishis in no way directed at you Lighterkid you sound like you are genuine, i'm just venting... ...But I need to add... Most of my knowledge on pyro / explosives has been hands on... there is no better way to answer a question than just trying it. Freak'n try it. I welcome the questions, but I get the sense sometimes that a large majority of these questions are asked by people who are never actualy gonna try this stuff. If your just curious... GOOGLE IT.. if you start experimenting and run into problems or you hit a wall... Please ask me... I will help you any any way possible - I have hit those problems before and did the same thing and found the answers. But there is no point in me typing stuff over and over again when a simple visit to google will return 5,000 sights with the information right there waiting for you ~ ok, I'm done venting ~ Boxhard
arrite thanks. and also what kind of material should the rocket tube be made out of? i tried aluminum foil and it just melted and fused to the pavement. as for why im asking and not experimenting, i have a pretty low budget and cant afford to screw up and have to buy new stuff over and over. also, i live in sum paranoid old people town so i dont get to try this stuff too often, so when i do get a chance, i like it to work right.
Well, firstly and obviously don't use anything that might throw shrapnel in the event of your rocket blowing. Fight the urge to use pvc pipe... I had more than enough pvc pieces flying past my bast shield at high velocity that I can say with certainty... not good idea. Same goes for metal, etc... What I found to be the best, and pretty cheap, are heavy wall cardboard tubes. once you get up to about 1" tubes though the walls have to be pretty thick to hold in the pressure. Second you are going to need a good nozzle. You can either machine one out of metal or use bentonite clay packed very tightly into a nozzle. When I was doing that I had a brass and aluminum frame / mold that you combressed fuel and a clay nozzle into a carboard tube to make a finished rocket. I want to say I paid like 20 - 30 bucks for it... but that was about 15 years ago. The KNO3 and Sugar mixture burns at a pretty high temp and a lot of people underestimate it's power. I have had several pyro guys stare blankly after a "smoke bomb" went KABOOM after they said it couldnt be done with KNO3 and Sugar. Try a model / rocket hobby shop... you may find what ya need there. The electronic squibs come in real handy too but you can also make your own... Good luck, hope the old folks keep their heads down. lol ps. I lived in a suburban area like that when I was a kid but that didn't stop me... there were still holes (!HOLES!) in our once new concrete driveway when I moved out. lol
a 60/40 mixture of saltpeter and sugar willl produce smoke bombs that have the appearance of caramels when cooked. That mixture is by weight. Just don't overcook or you house may look like its on fire :)
I will!... trying to decide what would be a good project... I need to look a little more at what's on here so I don't repeat anyone though.... I think I might with one on making grocery store "Black Powder" for all you peeps that live in control freak countries...
yes please do that, my country doesn't even sell stump remover as a precausian(spelling?) please oh please tell us how to make blackpowder so our lives get interesting :P Dunnos
Wha? Where you live? I'm having second thoughts about all of this... being the good American country minded man that I am... I don't know about telling peeps how to blow up things... :)
i live in holland its almost freaky previously you sayd that saltpeter is an oxidizer i knew where you can get it and filter it but its frikkin expensive that way is it possible to use another oxidizer like Fe2O3? and if not is there a way to make rust spontaniously combust? that'd be cool then my last question: if i use a 12v adapter for electrolysis wont i short it out? im scared it will blow up in my face thanks in advance Dunnos
Sigh... Fe203 is not an oxidizer... it's an OXIDE! it is the result of an ozidizer (O2 or O3) reacting with Iron. ""then my last question: if i use a 12v adapter for electrolysis wont I short it out? im scared it will blow up in my face"" Huh? lol What are you talking about? What are you trying to do with electrolysis?
that actually still doesn't answer my question will i be able to replace potassium nitrate with like potassium permanganate? they are both oxidizers how's they ible going by the way?
Taken from Wikipedia... my fall back for information on compounds I don't use often... and just as accessable for you as me... www.wikipedia.com
"Aqueous solutions of KMnO4 have been used together with T-Stoff (i.e. 80% hydrogen peroxide) as propellant for the rocket plane Messerschmitt Me 163. In this application, it was known as Z-Stoff. This combination of propellants is sometimes still used in torpedoes."
"KMnO4 is often included in survival kits along with polyols as a fire starter. For example, a mixture of potassium permanganate and glycerine or pulverized glucose ignites readily."
"Early photographers used it as a component of flash powder. It is now replaced with other oxidizers, due to the instability of permanganate mixtures."
"Solid KMnO4 is a strong oxidizer and in general it should be kept separated from oxidizable substances. Dilute aqueous solutions of KMnO4 are not dangerous. KMnO4 forms dangerous products upon contact with concentrated acids. "
"As an oxidizer, potassium permanganate stains the hand and clothing as it is reduced to MnO2. Clothing stains may be washed away using acetic acid. Skin stains, which are typically brown, disappear within 48 hours."
The long and the short of it... if you have some availbale, you could mix it with sugar and I suspect you would get a compound similar to the smoke bomb recipe calling for KNO3 and sugar. I have never played with this before though, so use extreme caution and always wear protective gear... GLASSES are always a must. and be sure to ignite it from a distance, ie canon fuse.
Also, given the molecular structure of it, KMnO4, I would start with a 50-50 wix with white sugar and try a few different ratios to see what burns most effectively. I don't think this wixture will "boom" but under pressure it may.
As wikipedia says, and me not being familiar with the composition, do not store it for any length of time. Sugar is readily oxidizable...
Let me know how it goes, if I don't hear anything back about it, I'll assume it killed you... and then I guess I'll have to go out and buy some to play with.
ok thank you, im goin to ask if i can do this in the chem lab they always like me if i dont have questions to much only this: KMnO4 is often included in survival kits along with polyols as a fire starter. For example, a mixture of potassium permanganate and glycerine or pulverized glucose ignites readily." if i mix it with sugar wont it explode after, like, a few seconds? cya then
No, it shouldn't... it should be stable enough. Also... it won't be hot enough to "explode"..
Good luck...
hydrogen ;) it gives a satisfying plop i heard but nvm electrolysis my mom wont let me
You know... I'm sitting here with my giant cup of coffee, black and thick enough to stand a spoon upright in the middle of it, and I'm wondering to myself... WHAT ARE YA'LL TRYING TO DO!?!?!?! Tell me what kind of reaction you want... Sizzle, KABOOM, sparkle... etc... and WHY!?... what you intend to do with it. THEN, I can help ya... and this isn't directed at you Dunnos... If you got more questions, keep 'em coming... but I can't sugest things if I don't know what kind of reaction you are looking for. I have been promising it, so when I get home from work today I'm going to work on a first explosives instructables. I think I'm going to do it in series... starting with the basics of the chem behind "reactions" otherwise known as explosives.
wow finally somebody who is willing to answer, all chem teachers walk away when they see me coming ;) both kaboom and sparkle seem very promising and id love to know how to do that and i intend to do it just for fun and showing off at friends :] also in movies they pour a liquid into a flask and then they pour another liquidand it turns green and starts fizzling and bubbling, thats my dream since i was a kid(actually still a kid so...) here comes another one: what kind of job do you have? just interested cant wait to see your ibles on explosives Dunnos
First off, if your "momy" won't let you play with electrolysis... what the hell are you doing asking about explosives? dunnos, I got to ask, how old are you? The "liquids changing colors and fizzing"... does it have to turn green? cause a reaction came to mind right away that would be just that... but trying to think of anything that would turn green as opossed to other colors I can actiualy think of. You would need a ph indicator that would turn green in a neutral solution. I started working on the instructable yesterday... it's going to be the first of a series... and it's named explosive safety... about being careful with explosives... the following ones will be more interesting... So, Chem profs run when they see you coming huh? I know the feeling... especialy after I blew all of the windows out of the third floor chem building while in lab. Luckily no one was hurt. But the profs are dreading the day I have kids... My grandfather caught the lab on fire there, my father caught a different college lab on fire, and my brother caught the lab work bench on fire at a different school... So I had a legacy to live up to... but I think I out did them all with the explosion rather than fire. As for the job I have... don't worry about it... If I told ya, then I'd have to kill ya. Just kidding, I uhm... well, I have a job that's kinda more like a lot of different jobs rolled into one... chemistry and explosives is only a slice of it ~ but I do enjoy that part, well then again I guess I enjoy all of it. Jean ~
hey boxhard nice to see you again my mom is pretty scared about electricity bcuz my dad got electrocuted once and is scared for electricity now, im 13 but i know how to be safe unlike everybody else i know i know about a ph indicator but i thought it wouldn't start fizzling? as for the chem profs... well only in 2 years i get chemistry, im just annoying with ALL my questions :P BUT i am probably also gonna set the lab on fire or something. seems like a cool job to me something secret agenty?? (remember 13) looking forward to your next message 13 year old dennis
The ph indicator won't fizzle... but backing soda and viniger would be an easy way to get the fizzle as it forms a salt and releases CO2... if the ph indicator turned green upon reaching a ph of 7 (neutral) then it would turn green as the reaction completed.
You sound very eager to learn, that's realy good! Don't let anyone discorage that. But also remember, you have to learn to crawl before you walk. So don't get to worried about trying greater and greater things. It's best to learn everything there is to learn from even the simple experiments because they are the building blocks to the world. It's kind of like when you do advanced maths... calculus etc... you have to know that 2+2=4 and most importantly - WHY!
So keep learning! And good luck to you in school.
As for te secret angent thing... it's not that cool.
Oh, and as far as the electricity thing... I have been bitten by high voltage a few times myself and it's not fun...
If you want to play with electrolysis you can easily use a battery! Even just a AA battery will work... but just slower... Electron flow from the positive side of the battery to the negative side... hook a wire to each side of a battary... put a coin on the positive side and a spoon or somthing on the negative... you will see it in action... it will rob metal ions from one and deposit it on the other...
Have fun with it.
thats a great idea with the ph indicator, i never thought of combining them Will i throw them in like viniger then baking soda then the ph indicator? sounds sweet also where can i get a ph indicator??? i know what high voltage is, actually i work with thousands of volts every now and then partially because i own a wimshurst machine ;P now for that you have to be safe and for electrolysis my mom wont let me short out batterys because its a waste of money aint that uncool thanks i actually will have fun with it :) another question; would it be hard for me to get some alkaline metals? im gonna throw them in water ... >:)

Every good life choice is grounded in self-esteem. With self-esteem, we reverence and respect our own person as a gift of God. We are not trying to look or be like someone else. This brings to mind the familiar story from the Talmud about Akiba.
When Akiba was on his deathbed, he complained bitterly to his rabbi that he felt like a complete failure. The rabbi moved closer and asked why, and Akiba confessed: "I have not lived a life like Moses." He then broke down in tears, admitting that he feared God's judgment.
At this, the rabbi leaned into his ear and whispered gently, "God will not judge Akiba for not being Moses. God will judge Akiba for not being Akiba."
With self-esteem, we embrace our true self with unconditional love. In turn, we make decisions that bring about our own flourishing and the betterment of our world.
As you reflect on important choices in your life, will the decisions you make reflect a careful attention to what nurtures your authentic self and brings the fullness of life God so wants to give you?
Sister Sara
Young women discerning a call to religious life often ask if living a vow of celibacy means giving up their sexuality. I usually begin my response by saying that the vow of consecrated celibacy is a radical way of loving God, self, and others with our whole heart, mind, body, soul, and strength. God's gift of self to me invites my mutual self-gift in return. In my personal response to God's call, I commit myself totally to God to the exclusion of any other primary commitment to spouse, family, or projects. By living this vow I desire to embody with my life the profound truth that the multifaceted love of God satisfies the deepest longings of the human heart for a lifetime.
Celibacy clearly requires abstinence from genital sexual activity. In making this commitment to God, I freely and knowingly set limits on my human experience. I will never love and be loved as wife and mother. These important dimensions of my sexual identity I will never experience. Like any major life choice, my choice to live a life of consecrated celibacy involves legitimate suffering and letting go as well as joy and abundance. Anything of value comes at a high cost. My vow of celibacy, however, does not mean giving up my sexuality or my capacity to be creative.
The most fundamental aspect of human sexuality is our need for intimacy, our need to be lovingly related and connected to other human beings and to all of creation. As a celibate lover, my need for intimacy is as great as that of a married person. As Father Clark puts it, "Intimacy is as much a part of my sexuality as it is part of a married person's. Human sexuality is about intimacy."* Real intimacy requires a multiplicity of personal skills from self-esteem to compassion, caring presence, appropriate confiding, trust, loyalty, fidelity, as well as a number of skills for personal freedom. We learn to channel our sexuality into a broader way of loving. A celibate does not deny her sexuality; instead, she uses that God-given energy to love and serve generously.
*Keith Clark, Being Sexual…and Celibate, (Notre Dame, IN: Ave Maria Press, 1985), 30.
Do you ever struggle with being kind and compassionate toward yourself, especially in times of personal suffering? Even though one of the foundational pillars of Christian Spirituality is the love of self, we tend to be harsh and judgmental about our own flaws, failings, and limitations. In his teaching on friendship, the great Dominican theologian, Thomas Aquinas, asserts that since we are more closely united to ourselves than to any other person, all the good we desire for our loved ones, we most want for ourselves. Therefore, the heart of wisdom is to love and accept ourselves as our own best friend. This counsel suggests that when times are really tough and we are experiencing suffering, we give ourselves the patient caring and tenderness that we need.
Human development specialist, Dr. Kristen Neff, has developed what she calls a "self-compassion break." This five-minute break in time of suffering consists of three main components. First, we must recognize that "this is a moment of suffering" and to speak gently to ourselves in naming our pain. She encourages us to say something like, "Sweetheart, this is really hard right now." We then simply allow the difficulty to be present and we soften toward it. Second, she suggests that we remind ourselves that "suffering is a part of life." Instead of feeling alone and cut off from the rest of the world, it is important to remind ourselves that suffering is a part of the human condition. Other people are suffering in a similar way as we are suffering. Third, we say, "May I be kind to myself in this moment." We offer ourselves soothing and comfort with gentle kindness. She encourages us to put our hand on our heart and feel the care streaming through our fingers. See her website. Learning to love ourselves in this way enables us to love others; when we befriend ourselves, we can be true friends to others. Likewise, this friendship with ourselves also helps us to better open up to the friendship of Christ.
I invite readers to share in the comments:
What has helped you to love and accept yourself?
How has being a friend to yourself helped you be a friend to others?
How has being a friend to yourself helped you to be a better Christian?
Based on a reflection by Sister Joan Delaplane, OP
This past week, our Dominican community celebrated the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380). Catherine: Dominican preacher, teacher, healer, reconciler, writer, mystic, and all in a mere 33 years; first woman named as Doctor of the Church! A woman whose times were like our own in many ways: upheavals, insecurity, fear, wars, natural calamities, lost faith, and scandals in the Church. And how did our sister Catherine face these challenges? As Suzanne Nofke summarized it: "The Truth and Love that is God possessed her, and she laid her whole being on the line with his for the life of the world" (Catherine of Siena: Vision Through a Distant Eye. Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 1996).
Yes, Catherine's "mad lover" God was Truth and Love. As I reflected on Catherine and our own time, however, two phrases grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go: Truth of Love and Love of Truth. Catherine's grounding in the Truth of Love, who is God, impelled her to take the love of truth to others. Perhaps you've seen the cover of Time magazine earlier this month: "Is Truth Dead?" Alternative facts and fake news seem acceptable; some don't even care, or even echo Pilate: "What is truth?" It's as though there's a cloud over us, making it difficult to perceive the light of truth.
And what does this Truth of God's Love look like? Jesus embodies the truth of God's love as a caring, tender washing feet of those who had betrayed him, denied him and abandoned him. The Truth of God's Love is a forgiving of those who had abused him, hated him, and left him to suffer the throes of an agonizing death. Jesus shows us the truth of God's love as a trusting in God to be with him when all he felt was abandonment, pain, and the seeming failure of his mission. The Risen Christ shows us the Truth of God's Love that transformed locked up, fearful disciples into fearless preachers speaking the truth in love.
Like those first disciples, Catherine heard Christ calling her to embody the Truth of Love in her world: "I need you to walk with two feet; love of God and love of all that God loves." We, too, are called to be the Truth of Love for our world. Like the small groups of people who traveled this past weekend to walk on two feet in Washington, D.C. with others for love of the Truth of Climate Change. They will witness to the call of all people to be part of healing and preserving God's beloved creation.
What are some of the ways that you will embody the Truth of Love and the Love of Truth? Let us know in the comments section what occurred to you in your reflection.
A number of different people have told me that because of their personal experience of suffering and the misery in the world, they no longer believe in an all-loving God. Without doubt, human misery can shatter belief, not only in God, but in the goodness of humanity as well.
As we enter into Holy Week, the Church invites us to reflect on how Jesus viewed his suffering and death. Throughout his ministry, we know that Jesus freely accepted suffering as the cost of his revolutionary proclamation of the reign of God. As his death approached, he felt deep anxiety in the face of suffering, sweating blood as he prayed to be spared the inevitable. Nevertheless, he resolved, with God's help, to stand in fidelity to his mission. Then, in the throes of his agony on the cross, it seemed that even God, whom Jesus had preached as compassionate and loving Abba, had forsaken him. He cried out the opening line of psalm 22: "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" (Mk 15:34), expressing his real experience of the absence of God. Yet, at the heart of his vulnerability, was an unwavering belief in his own goodness as well as a deep trust in the psalm's promise of God's help and vindication. The hidden closeness and strengthening love of God within him was made visible when Jesus offered forgiveness to those who crucified him, (Lk 23:34) promised paradise to the penitent thief, (Lk 23:42) and entrusted the care of his mother to the beloved disciple (Jn 19:26-27). Even as Jesus was lifted up in crucifixion, his loving communion with God was made available to all people in their most perilous experiences of suffering and death. In John's Gospel, Jesus says of his death, "when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself" (Jn 12:32).
In his Book of Hours: Love Poems to God, (I 59) Rainer Maria Rilke portrays our loving God, who walks with us through life, encouraging our trust especially in times of suffering. Rilke writes:
God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
Then walks with us silently out of the night.
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
Go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
Flare up like flame
And make big shadows I can move in.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.
This Holy Week, may you experience the hand of God take yours in everlasting love.
I do not know about you, but my love for self, others, and God is far from unconditional. For example, there are a number of conditions I lay down before I will love myself. I need to be successful in my work, have friends who treat me according to my will and have things go my way, just to name a few. Here is an everyday example of what I am talking about. When I am driving on the back roads of Michigan, I am peaceful, content, driving along as fast as I want, enjoying the scenery. This loving feeling changes quickly, however, if I happen to get behind a car that wants to take their time going 45 miles per hour. Suddenly, I am no longer peaceful, content and enjoying myself. I have become more and more frustrated and resentful that I'm stuck behind this driver, and there is little opportunity to pass. I have put a condition on my love for myself, that is, things must go my way. The good news is that when we catch ourselves in the act of loving conditionally, we can make a change. I have learned to take a deep breath, and enjoy the scenery even more because I am now going at a slower pace. I will give myself the feelings of peace and contentment no matter the conditions. The love I give myself is enough. As the author of The Presence Process Michael Brown says, "There's no reason, excuse, or justification for treating ourselves with anything less than unconditional love" (208). God loves us with an unconditional love and calls us to do likewise. When we learn to love ourselves unconditionally, we can more easily love others and God this way as well. How unconditional is your love? What conditions do you place on yourself, others and God before you will love them?
Sister Sara Fairbanks, OP
Even though we elect our public officials, I believe that God elects every human being to serve the world according to their unique giftedness. For God, there is no need for campaign speeches and ballot boxes to prove our worthiness to love and make a contribution to the common good. In the eyes of God, there are no winners or losers, only the victory of God's love embracing all of creation. All people are created with an innate dignity and special capacities to make the world a better place. The real challenge is discernment, that is, making a decision in conversation with God about how and what we will do to promote the reign of God's justice and peace on earth.
In this "land of the free," are we making life-decisions from a place of internal freedom? God always works through interior freedom, never forcing us, but allowing us to respond out of our deep desire for love. The famous Jesuit, Father Pedro Arrupe, puts it this way: "Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love—and it will decide everything." What love is worthy of the commitment of your freedom? What love has your vote?

This week's blogger is Sister Marilyn Barnett, OP.
What led me to promote racial equality throughout my life? Maybe it was because my parents were born in Jamaica, or maybe it was the cultural diversity of my own birthplace and years of growing up near Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was taught at the side of my parents that God loves every one of us, we are all made in God's image, and every nation on Earth is held in the gentle palm of God's loving hand. I know that God's call to enter religious life and encounter people of different cultures came while working with the Hispanic community in southern Colorado.
As a young person, I observed the actions of others in my neighborhood – those who would have nothing to do with persons of color or those who would cross the street if there were people who were not part of "their group." I remember being told by older people that it was probably not "wise" to associate with different races since we had nothing in common with them, i.e. language, features, customs, food, and religious affiliation.
At the time these so called "words of advice" caused me to wonder, and later to brood over this seemingly widespread attitude of discrimination. I began to clearly recognize the subtle and overt ways minorities were portrayed, and the dislike, cruelty, and hatred that developed. I began to study, read, and immerse myself in actions that would promote racial equality wherever I ministered.
The Adrian Dominican Sisters have recognized, encouraged, and supported this deeply profound truth of God's love for all. Our Vision and Enactments, both past and present, have given me the freedom to live this truth.
True love, the foundation of discernment, never avoids conflict. This kind of discernment is the most difficult to practice. It arises out of a situation in which we are suffering from a situation that we think is caused by the person or community that we love the most. We might refuse to ask the person or community for help in understanding and dealing with our hurt.
Thich Nhat Hanh, a Buddhist monk, tells of a young Vietnamese man who went off to war, leaving his pregnant wife behind. When he returned after three years, his young wife and son welcomed him home with tears of joy.
When his wife went out to buy food for their celebration, the young father tried to get his son to call him daddy. The little boy refused, saying, "You are not my daddy. My daddy is somebody else. He visits us every night and comforts mommy when she cries. Every time my mommy sits down, he sits down, too. Every time she lies down, he lies down, too."
The young father was stunned, heartbroken, and humiliated by these words. When his wife returned, he refused to talk to her or even look at her. He stormed out of the house and spent the day at a bar. This went on for several days. Finally, the young woman was so distraught over her husband's change in behavior that she threw herself in the river and drowned.
When the young man heard the news, he returned home, and lit a lamp. Suddenly, the little boy exclaimed, "Look, it's my daddy! He's come back!" He pointed to the shadow of his father on the wall.
In reality, his mother had been so alone in the house that every night she had to talk to her own shadow. Now her husband's false perception was corrected, but it was too late. His wife was dead.
We all fall victim to our misperceptions every day. When in a painful situation of conflict, we must check things out with the other person before taking action if we want true love to guide our lives.
Sister Sara Fairbanks, OP
"Well, my love story began…." I was so struck by each of the young women speaking with me. I had asked each of them to share with me their story of how they came to religious life, and every single one referred to her "love story." I thought it was so beautiful!
I was visiting our Sisters in the Philippines and I heard the stories of the five temporary professed sisters, two novices and two candidates – each one of whom knew she was on that path because of Jesus' love for her. And it wasn't an insular love – it wasn't a just "me and Jesus" kind of love. Each story included giving and experiencing love with the other Sisters and with the people they serve. It is a love story that leads each woman out to love and serve others.
Their love stories weren't all smooth. There were often many challenges. But being grounded in that base of love enables them to go forward in confidence – with the one that loves them by their side.
It is true for all of us, whatever our path. The love of Jesus can sustain us, lead us out of ourselves, and give us the courage to continue forth.
Can you sense Jesus walking with you?

You might feel like crying, screaming or even laughing after sitting in a blob of gum. Whichever the case, hardened gum is actually easier to remove from fabric than soft. It will still take a little persistence to get all the gum off your pants, but with the right products, your black pants will be gum-free in no time.
Rub an ice cube over the gum even if it feels dry. This will harden the gum even more so it's easier to remove.
Chip away as much gum as possible with a butter knife. Work the tip of the knife under the gum and lift carefully to break off pieces. Do this until you can no longer chip away any of the gum.
Scrub briskly over any remaining gum with a dry toothbrush until no more gum is coming off the fabric.
Lay the black pants on a stack of paper towels with the gum spot facing down.
Moisten a clean rag with dry cleaning solvent and sponge it onto the back of the gum spot.
Let the dry cleaning solvent dry completely, then rinse the affected area of the black pants under cool water.
Spray the front side of the gum spot with a prewash laundry stain remover.
Rub heavy-duty liquid laundry detergent into the spot as well.
Let the spray and detergent sit on the spot for about one minute, then launder the pants as usual.


text: After much research and reading on here I ended up building my own set of "work tunes" so to speak. I was going to just buy a set of the $50 ones from walmart but I really wanted something I could plug my MP3 player into. I looked at the Elvex models and they are quite nice but will run $90+ depending on which model you choose. So, for a mere $17 I built a set has NR 25db rating, a place to mount my MP3 player so there are no wires getting in the way. It can be used either with or without the player. Here's what I did and some pics to show the finished product. It works great. I purchased a set of the "Husqvarna" earmuffs from Lowe's. I looked at several models from AO Safety/peltor, etc.. But they were all 20-22db. The Husqvarna ones were not only 25db rated but have a slick adjustment to increase or decrease pressure against your head. They also have replaceable ear cups which allowed me to run the wires into the earmuff making it look factory. I used a set of $7 sony headphones that I had laying around and a phone clip that I attached to my player (I already use the clip in my car so now I can use it for both very easily) I simply removed the band from the headphones, reattached the foam covers. I then popped off the ear foam and ran the wire and speaker assembly into the unit, snapped the earpads back onto the earmuffs and wallah, had a working stereo/hearing protector! It can be used like this if you'd rather have the radio/mp3/tapedeck/cd,etc... attached to your belt. I personally wanted an "all-in-one" setup so I then ran the wires around the top and secured them with zip ties. I then attached the holder with some 3m double sided tape and it was completed. Granted, this might look a little goofy with the player sticking out, however, I was more interested in function over form and I can always change it back if I decide to. The sound is awesome and It is fully rated at 25db. Enjoy!!

Make The Ultimate Mix Tape
The Not-So-Subtle-Sex Beg
Every mix I've ever made for a woman has carried one of two implicit messages:
(a) Sleep with me.
(b) Please don't ever stop sleeping with me.
You need at least one track that's designed to induce erotic and limbic abandon in its recipient. I always go with "The One" by Cee-Lo Green, a joyously blunt proposition camouflaged as a feminist dance anthem.
The Make-Her-Yearn Track
Before a guy was able to lurk on Facebook after a break-up, he'd sit by the phone, thinking surely she'd dig out that mix he gave her. So always include one song ripe with sexual nostalgia. My go-to was "Last Good Taste" by Dayna Kurtz, in the hope that Kurtz's sultry, yearning growl would induce the desired state: a thirst for whisky and the bad decisions it engenders.
The Next-Level Entreaty
Me and my pal Rich were drinking one night and complaining about our love lives. I mentioned that I was having trouble getting my girlfriend to take me seriously; he put on Etta James's epic cover of "Take It to the Limit." Her voice rose rapturously over a gospel choir. Soon I was complaining to Rich that I needed more space.
The Happy Backslide Anthem
I realise the Marvin Gaye classic "Sexual Healing" is the designated anthem for make-up sex, but the song has two inherent flaws. First, it's a cliché. Second, it's only four minutes long. A better option is "And the Healing Has Begun" by Van Morrison. Over an aching violin, Van makes an impassioned plea for reconciliation. The whole endeavour exudes a sensual sloppiness that just feels right for backsliding. Bonus: it clocks in at eight minutes.
The Jujitsu Confession
Men take women for granted in most relationships. Period. We stop paying attention. We stop listening. Eventually the woman gets fed up, and fighting ensues.
It is at this thorny juncture that you need a song designed to acknowledge culpability, a kind of musical apologia. Consider "Angel from Montgomery" by Bonnie Raitt and John Prine, a stunning acoustic duet about a couple looking back on the wreckage of their failed marriage.
The Full Emotional Monty
Just in case make-up sex devolves into acrimony, include "You Don't Miss Your Water" by Otis Redding. It's heart-crushing blues, and when I hear it, I still think of my varsity girlfriend, naked and beautiful in the blue light of midnight. I may have listened to the song too late, but it went on the first mix I ever made for my wife.

News last week that President Obama will address graduates of Worcester Technical High School on June 11 at the DCU Center came as a pleasant surprise, and is sure to afford the school and the city a few moments in the national spotlight.
Such attention is richly deserved, and highlights years of hard work by the school's leaders, faculty, and students, as well as the Worcester business community, led by the stalwart efforts of Edwin B. Coghlin Jr.
Vocational education has transformed itself into the first choice for hundreds of students who understand the competitive edge such an education confers upon them in an age when academic knowledge and technical abilities together boost one's earning power and value to society.
But an even larger compliment is being paid to Worcester these days. The city of Boston, struggling to turn around a failing Madison Park Technical Vocational School in Roxbury, is also looking west to see how vocational education can be done.
Some say Boston can't match what Worcester has. Don't believe that. There's no patent on educational excellence, and no secret involved. Worcester's excellence isn't magic, but a matter of teamwork, lots of sweat, and a willingness to write a new set of rules.

Poorly made
By Holes in gloves
from Honolulu
Ordered Montana black gloves and more than half of the gloves had holes, tears, and damage making them unusable. As time goes on, more and more gloves have holes. I store them in a cool place not in sunlight. I had high expectations for this product but was really disappointed with the quality of the box I received. Until they improve the quality, not recommended.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Inspired by Natalie's recently finished one kilometre jumper I remembered that I had some Rowanspun Aran amongst my collection of precious discontinued yarns and decided that what I really need is another hooded jumper. I have several of these, knit using the Knitting Pure and Simple Pattern for a neck down hooded tunic and have them in constant rotation all the time, in fact,I am wearing one now as I type.
The shade that I chose is Caviar, not Tusk as I might have mentioned in my previous post and is a lovely,sophisticated mid brown colour with red white and blue flecks. When I had made my decision, I don't know if this ever happens to you but I could see myself wearing it, really clearly, right down to the long denim skirt and brown boots that I was going to wear it with.
So I started knitting with great enthusiasm and impatience to be wearing my new jumper. I always find that the shoulder part of a top down jumper goes really fast. The raglans are shaped by doing a knit front and back of the same stitch increase either side of four stitch markers until there are enough stitches all round. I love the neat line of increase that it creates.
Before I knew it, I had romped through two balls of yarn in the space of 48 hours and had created this:
I think it was then that the madness took hold and I decided that I would challenge myself to see if I could finish this jumper within a week.I calculated that it would take about six skeins of yarn to complete at my going rate of a ball a day how hard could it be?
Yesterday, as I hauled this increasingly bulky garment out of my bag on the train in place of my usual sock I started to have my doubts. Even so, by midnight I was only slightly behind schedule and had produced this as day 3 drew to a close.
With a weekend to myself I should be able to make plenty of progress over the next couple of days. Let's see if I have enough to show you by tomorrow, the end of day 4.
