Pentecostalism, charismatic religious movement that gave rise to a number of Protestant churches in the United States in the 20th century and that is unique in its belief that all Christians should seek a postconversion religious experience called baptism with the Holy Spirit. Recalling the Holy Spirit's descent upon the first Christians in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, or Shabuoth (Acts of the Apostles 2–4), this experience appears to have been common in the Christian movement during its first generations.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit is also believed to be accompanied by a sign, the gift of tongues. This "speaking in tongues" occurs as glossalalia (speech in an unknown language) or xenoglossy (speech in a language known to others but not the speaker). Speaking in tongues is considered one of the gifts of the Spirit described by St. Paul the Apostle (1 Corinthians 12), and Pentecostals believe that those baptized by the Holy Spirit may receive other supernatural gifts that purportedly existed in the early church: the ability to prophesy, to heal, or to interpret speaking in tongues. Faith healing is also part of the Pentecostal tradition, which reflects patterns of faith and practice characteristic of the Baptist and Methodist-Holiness churches—the Protestant denominations from which most of the first generation of Pentecostals came. Like them, Pentecostals emphasize conversion, moral rigour, and a literal interpretation of the Bible. However, Pentecostals never formed a single organization; instead individual congregations came together to found the various denominations that constitute the movement today.
The origins of Pentecostalism
Although Pentecostals trace their origin to the Apostles, the modern-day Pentecostal movement has its roots in the late 19th century, a time of mounting indifference to traditional religion. Denominations that were known for revivalistic fervour became subdued. Emotional modes of religious expression—enthusiastic congregational singing, spontaneous testimonies, prayer in unison, and extemporaneous sermons on simple biblical themes by lay preachers—gave way to ordered, formal worship services that were conducted by "reverends," ministers trained in homiletics (preaching skills), who were influenced by higher biblical criticism. Lecture centres and elegant sanctuaries replaced camp meetings and crude wood-frame tabernacles.
As the large popular Protestant denominations became the churches of the upper-middle class, people of limited means began to feel out of place. They yearned to return to a "heart religion" that would satisfy their spiritual desires and their emotional, psychological, and physical needs. Pentecostalism, like its precursor, the Holiness movement (based on the belief that a second work of grace following conversion would "sanctify" Christians and remove the desire to sin), fulfilled these needs for churchgoers and nonchurchgoers alike. Moreover, Pentecostal churches, though open to all levels of society, spoke to the special needs of the disaffected.
Notwithstanding the charismatic outbursts in some 19th-century Protestant churches, the watershed of contemporary Pentecostalism came in the early 20th century at Bethel Bible College, a small religious school in Topeka, Kansas. The college's director, Charles Fox Parham, one of many ministers who was influenced by the Holiness movement, believed that the complacent, worldly, and coldly formalistic church needed to be revived by another outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He instructed his students—many of whom already were ministers—to pray, fast, study the Scriptures, and, like the Apostles, await the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
On January 1, 1901, Agnes Oznam became the first of Parham's students to speak in an unknown tongue. Others soon had the same experience, and Parham claimed that glossolalia was the "initial evidence" that one had been truly baptized with the Holy Spirit. Parham and his students understood these recurrences of Pentecost prophetically, interpreting them as signs of the imminence of the last days, or Endtime. Imbued with this sense of urgency, they set out on an evangelical mission.
Their initial efforts were unsuccessful, and the movement nearly collapsed as it encountered disbelief and ridicule. In 1903 its fortunes were revived when Parham returned to the practice of faith healing. Borrowed from several Holiness churches, notably the Christian and Missionary Alliance, faith healing became a hallmark of Pentecostalism. Parham was the first in a long line of Pentecostal evangelists (Mary B. Woodworth-Etter, Charles Price, Aimee Semple McPherson, and, more recently Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kuhlman, and Benny Hinn) who taught that Christ's atonement provides deliverance from sickness and is, therefore, the privilege of all who have the requisite faith. Attracting new converts, the movement enjoyed success in the American South and Southwest, especially in Texas, Alabama, and Florida. In Texas alone, 25,000 people had embraced the Pentecostal faith by 1905, according to Parham. Kansas and Missouri also became hotbeds for Pentecostalism.
Wider national and international expansion, however, resulted from the Azusa Street revival that began in 1906 at the Apostolic Faith Gospel Mission at 312 Azusa Street in Los Angeles. Its leader, William Seymour, a one-eyed Holiness church pastor and former member of the African Methodist Episcopal church, had been exposed to Parham's teachings at a Bible school in Houston, Texas. Under Seymour's guidance, the old frame building on Azusa Street became a great spiritual centre that for many years attracted rich and poor, blacks and whites, Anglos and Latinos, as well as many preachers whose own ministry had become staid.
Spiritually energized and convinced that they had been charismatically endowed, scores of men and women from Azusa and other Pentecostal churches began extolling the reality of speaking in tongues. Pentecostal Christians were linked only by an amorphous "spiritual union," in part because no thought was given to forming a separate "Pentecostal" branch of the Christian church. As members of the historic Protestant churches embraced Pentecostal beliefs and practices, they did so without any intention of withdrawing from their own churches. They merely wanted to be agents of reform and revival, helping to rid their churches of formalism and worldliness. They strove to transform their congregations into Spirit-filled communities like those described in the New Testament book Acts of the Apostles. Moreover, they fully expected the prophetically promised "latter rain" (from the Book of Joel, an outpouring of the Spirit of God before the final judgment) to fall upon their churches and make them wholly Pentecostal.
In one or two cases churches did sever their mainstream ties and become Pentecostal (e.g., the transformation of the Christian Union to the Church of God, headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee). But the triumphant conquest of the Protestant churches by Pentecostal ideas during those early years never materialized. In fact, the movement became the object of widespread opposition. Pastors who endorsed Pentecostal practices were relieved of their pulpits; missionaries who were sympathetic toward the charismatic movement lost their financial support; and parishioners speaking in tongues were expelled from their churches. Resolutions were passed and anathemas (the harshest form of excommunication) were pronounced against Pentecostals in traditional churches. Charismatic Christians found it increasingly difficult to practice their faith within the institutional framework of conventional Protestantism; consequently, many Pentecostals withdrew from their churches to form new ones.
By the beginning of World War I, new congregations had emerged as storefront missions, small tabernacles in sparsely populated rural areas, and upper-story lofts in squalid urban neighbourhoods. These modest dwellings, found across North America, housed poor but lively groups of Pentecostal believers under such names as the Pentecostal, Apostolic, Latter Rain, or Full Gospel churches. Although many Pentecostals were wary of administrative institutions and unwilling to subject themselves to external ecclesiastical control, various divisive issues drove them into denominational fellowships.
In 1913 a new doctrine challenged the consensus theology that Pentecostals had inherited from their Protestant forebears. R.E. McAlister, following the formula for baptism found in Acts of the Apostles rather than that in The Gospel According to Matthew, taught that water baptism in the early church was not done according to the familiar Trinitarian formula (i.e., in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) but in the name of Jesus Christ alone. McAlister's teaching led to the emergence of the Apostolic, or "Jesus Only," movement. Among the Pentecostal churches that adhere to this non-Trinitarian theology are the United Pentecostal Church International and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith. As the movement spread, however, Trinitarian Pentecostals banded together to prevent the spread of what they considered heresy.
Even before McAlister's teaching, the issue of Holiness divided members of the new faith. Parham, Seymour, and other early Pentecostals came from the Holiness tradition that taught Christians to seek "sanctification." They built upon that heritage and taught that the baptism of the Holy Spirit was for people who had already experienced sanctification. On the other hand, Pentecostals from Baptist backgrounds disagreed and taught that the baptism of the Holy Spirit was for every believer. This doctrinal division drove Pentecostals into two warring camps. The Holiness Pentecostal belief is represented by such groups as the International Pentecostal Holiness Church; among the groups that emerged from a Baptist background are the Christian Church of North America and the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
Although Pentecostal fellowships generally emerged as the result of doctrinal differences, nonreligious factors, such as the outbreak of World War I, also contributed to their development. For example, the majority of Pentecostals were pacifists when the war started, but they and even those who were not pacifists found themselves without a voice in Washington, D.C., on matters of armed service. The Assemblies of God, an organization of independent Trinitarian Pentecostals, was founded in Hot Springs, Arkansas, in 1914 in response to the need for better relations between the churches and the government. Racial issues also affected the Pentecostal movement. For instance, the Azusa revival was led by an African American minister who welcomed worshipers regardless of their race, and the first formal Pentecostal denomination, the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, was organized as an interracial fellowship (and remained such). This liberal racial attitude bred controversy, however, and as Pentecostalism spread into the Deep South the movement became segregated along the same racial lines as had the older denominations.
International growth of Pentecostalism
Inspired by Acts of the Apostles 2:1–13, which speaks of God pouring out his Spirit in the last days, many Pentecostals believe that their revival is a sign of the Endtime, and hence a call to bring the world to salvation before Christ's Second Coming. Like the Apostles who spoke to people from many nations in their own tongues on the first Pentecost, Pentecostals believe that speaking in tongues facilitates the conversion of the world's peoples. Thus, Pentecostalism developed into an international missionary effort almost immediately. The movement spread first among ethnic communities in North America and was quickly transferred to Europe. By the end of 1906, missionary work had begun in Norway, and in 1907 it reached the rest of Scandinavia and Germany, Italy, and Holland. Latinos who took part in the Azusa Street revival helped spread the movement to Mexico, and a vital Spanish-speaking church movement developed there and in the southwestern United States. The Assemblies of God and the Church of God developed large Spanish-language branches, and completely new autonomous denominations formed in both Mexico and Puerto Rico. From these groups, Pentecostalism spread into the rest of Latin America, where it became especially popular in the latter decades of the 20th century.
Pentecostal missionaries reached South Africa in 1907 and found a home in the mission established only a few years earlier by representatives of the Christian Catholic church, an American church that emphasized healing. They were joined in 1914 by Assemblies of God missionaries. Nicholas B.H. Bhengu, a former Lutheran who joined the Assemblies of God, was the first great African-born Pentecostal evangelist. With the emergence of the African Independent church movement after World War II, Pentecostalism became a mass movement across sub-Saharan Africa.
Pentecostalism grew throughout the 20th century in North America, even though it was dismissed by mainstream denominations and denounced as heresy by conservative Evangelical groups that rejected the notions of faith healing and speaking in tongues. As segments of the movement became comfortable in their new faith and settled into less spontaneous worship, speaking in tongues and faith healing became somewhat routinized. In reaction to the loss of fervour, revitalization efforts periodically appeared that generally led to the creation of new Pentecostal denominations, more than 100 of which now exist. The growth of Pentecostalism in the late 20th century was not limited to its traditional constituency, however, and included members from the larger Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. This success with mainstream Protestants and Roman Catholics in the 1970s was one of the more important events in Pentecostal history and led to the formation of Charismatic (from Greek charis, "gift") fellowships in most of the major American denominations. While many welcomed the new life these fellowships represented, denominational leaders saw them as disruptive. As a result, most Charismatic members of mainline churches left to form new denominations.
Attempts to limit the multiplication of Pentecostal denominations and to heal divisions within the movement began with the Pentecostal World Conference, first held in Zürich, Switzerland, in 1947. The initial international gathering highlighted the need for a similar meeting in North America and led to the formation of the Pentecostal Fellowship of North America (PFNA) in 1948. The PFNA was limited to the larger, predominantly white Pentecostal churches until the 1990s, when an effort was made to build relationships with the major African American Pentecostal churches. In 1994 the PFNA formerly dissolved and was replaced by a new interracial organization, the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America.
Although statistics on Pentecostalism are difficult to obtain, it has been estimated that there are more than 10 million Pentecostals in the United States, including 5.5 million members of the Church of God in Christ and 2.5 million members of the Assemblies of God. There are a number of Pentecostal denominations with more than a million members in Latin America and Africa. The Assemblies of God probably constitutes the largest Pentecostal denomination worldwide with more than 25 million members and with congregations in more than 150 countries.J.

The Walking Dead was far better than I anticipated it to be. I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
Watched the DVR recording of the premiere last night and thought it was awesome. I'm not a big Sci-Fi guy but this looks like it'll be a great series. I found myself cringing a few times when the "walkers" got close, especially when the guy crawled under the tank and there were hundreds of them coming after him.
Also, did anyone figure out why the main character went back looking in the park for the one without the legs and shot her? Before blasting her through the eye socket I think he apologized so it must have been someone he knew
And how about the main character's wife already getting with his best friend? I don't think they mentioned how much time had passed between him getting shot and waking up, but still. This will probably be a major story line.
I missed it and am pissed...Hopefully they re-air it
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! that was his wife and son with his partner! I didnt really have the volume up really loud. I didnt hear them called by name or anything guess I wasnt paying attention during that scene. But anyways I thought the first episode was good! had some good suspense had me at the edge of my seat a few times. I can defintley see myself watching this every week.
Finally saw it on demand last night.I thought it was very good.
there you go my man.
Yall catch the episode last night? I thought it was INTENSE! had me at the edge of my seat several times. Even better than the 1st episode I think. Next weeks looks sick as well.
I have it Dish PVR'ed Sundaynights.
I will check it out later tonight.
Was episode 2 on last night (sunday)? My DVR didn't record it.

When you join a CSA, there's always a bounty of fresh and local veggies awaiting your enjoyment. CSAs are a guaranteed way to bring more veggies into your family's diet, but they are much more than that. CSAs keep money in the local economy, help farmers share the gamble they take while working with Mother Nature, and are a way that you can enjoy the freshest, most seasonal produce around. Read on for more info about CSAs: what they are, how they work, and why you should join!
Image © flickr user smith_cl9
What is a CSA ?
A CSA or Community Supported Agriculture works like this: a group of consumers, often known as subscribers, pay (with at least part of the payment upfront) to receive weekly shares of local, seasonal produce from a farm or collective of farms. In addition to vegetables and fruit, some CSAs offer egg, bread, meat, or even flower shares. Another way CSAs personalize their plan is to offer shares of various sizes, such as for individuals or families. Depending on where you live, the CSA may last just for the summer months or it may last year-round.
How It Helps You
Consumers get fresh and delicious foods and support the local economy through CSAs. While much of the produce in supermarkets has been shipped from across the country (or across the ocean), CSA shares provide produce that has been harvested within days or even hours!
There's nothing more frustrating than planning meals for the week and then arriving at the farmer's market to find that several of your ingredients are not available! CSAs will often let you know at the beginning of the week what you will be getting in your share, making it much easier to meal plan and to shop for the rest of the ingredients on your list. Also, you can discuss general crop plans for the season with the farmer(s) running your CSA. This, in turn, allows you to choose whatever you want to grow for your own garden. After all, how many scallions can one family truly consume?

How It Helps Farmers
CSAs are a win-win opportunity for farmers as well as consumers: farmers have the benefit of a guaranteed paycheck and cash flow and can better plan their growing seasons and plantings. And since hurricanes, drought, and other surprises from Mother Nature can derail anyone's growing plans, CSAs offer farmers a type of insurance. CSAs allow farmers to better know their consumers, forge relationships with them, and perhaps even grow things according to their customers' culinary desires.
CSAs also cut out the middleman. Farmers can offer the public their goods at a lower price, and deliver fresher products since they don't have to pay someone else to distribute and market them. Additionally, while many CSA farms still sell at farmer's markets, having a CSA makes this less of a necessity for income since they have guaranteed "buyers." Some farmers supplement their produce with products such as honey or jelly. These value-added products are yet another way in which farmers can showcase their wares year-round.

How to Join
Local Harvest has a handy tool for helping you locate a CSA, and you can also check out your farmer's market to see if some of your favorite stands are also part of a CSA. Personally, I think the best way to learn about a CSA is by word of mouth, because you can learn about the pros and cons from the subscribers themselves: what each week's delivery contains, if people feel like they were inundated with certain crops, and even details such as how the pick-up service works. For example, some CSA's have everything boxed up and ready for you; others lay out their goods buffet style with guidance for how much each share is to take.
How to Make the Most of Your CSA
One of my favorite things about joining a CSA is that it exposes you to new veggies and expands your family's mealtime repertoire. Our family has found favorite recipes for celeriac and black turnips among other veggies, and we love discussing these new goodies with our kids. If you're stumped as to what to do with a certain item in your share, don't be afraid to ask — the farmers especially but also any other CSA members. Our CSA sends out recipes each week, particularly for some of the lesser used veggies.
Another benefit of CSAs: you can also ask if there is a large crop of one of your favorite types of produce: farmers will occasionally make these available to their CSA subscribers before trucking them out to farmer's markets. Finally, many CSA farms encourage subscribers to come and visit the farm. There is truly no better way to see how your produce is being grown and cared for than by visiting the source itself!

Nevermind that being the victim of anti-Semitism doesn't automatically make you not a rapist, (thanks Melissa), let's take a look at some of this man's philosemitic work, shall we?
Vidal's much-noted distaste for Jews and Judaism comes through most clearly in three essays written from 1970 to 1981. It is rooted in a standard Nietzschean genealogy of morals — Judaism was a slave-religion that, through Christianity, transmitted its ignoble principles to the whole West — and flavored with an aristocratic contempt for Jews as arrivistes. Admittedly, when criticizing the outrageously stupid comments on homosexuality made by Jewish neoconservatives such as Norman Podhoretz, Midge Decter, and Joseph Epstein, Vidal is in the right. But he puts himself in the wrong when he refers to Jewish writers as "Rabbi" and calls attention to "the rabbinical mind" of one; when he mentions "[Alfred] Kazin and his kind," says that Hilton Kramer's criticism of Garry Wills and himself must be "because we are not Jewish," and calls Podhoretz "a publicist for Israel"; when he describes New York Jewish intellectuals as a "new class," and then says that "no matter how crowded and noisy a room, one can always detect the new-class person's nasal whine"; and when he repeatedly insinuates that it is "unwise" for Jews to criticize homosexuals because they "will be in the same gas chambers as the blacks and the faggots." Every individual remark can be extenuated — at times it even seems that Vidal writes out of a disappointed love of Jews, whom he expects to be liberal on all issues — but the cluster of hostile, sneering, scornful references leaves a very unpleasant taste. There seems no reason, other than anti-Semitic compulsion, for three of the 14 essays in a book ostensibly about sex to be, in reality, attacks on Judaism and on individual Jews.
I do think that the writer is on to something here, at the end: this is a familiar pattern with anti-Semites. There is an admiration based on a kind of imagined camaraderie, for any number of reasons; Martin Luther, for example, was far more positive when he imagined our rejection of Christianity was more due to malfeasance from the Catholics than doctrinal or theological reasons.
However, more to the point: given what this man has previously written about Jews, why should anyone take his analysis of anti-Semitism seriously?

"Who would have thought that we would have been here?" said Lady Knight basketball coach Mike Forgione. "There were 32 teams opening up that first day of the season. One of their goals was to make the CCC tournament and make it to the finals. Glastonbury and us were the last two remaining."
The Knights aren't finished with the conference. In fact, they're just getting started. In a cruel test of fate, Southington has drawn a conference rival in the opening rounds of the Class LL tournament. Twice, they fought off Newington rallies to secure regular season wins. Can they do it again?
"It's not going to be easy, but who would have thought that these kids would be where they are now?" said Forgione. "We're going to keep fighting and hope for the best on Tuesday."
Breaking Down Berlin's Wall
Southington opened the tournament with an 8-0 run. With three straight jump shots, the Lady Knights put a quick end to Berlin's zone defense.
On Monday, Feb. 18, the Knights held off an early Berlin comeback. They battled the the top seed to a deadlock after 32 minutes and rallied for 17 of the final 22 points to become the first No. 8 seed to win against the conference's top team.
"We've been playing these types of games all year, and we knew that we were going to have to battle in each game of the CCC tournament," Forgione said. "The CCC West was so balanced this year. Even teams like New Britain and Hall that didn't make the state tournament have quality teams. I told the kids that we were going to take it one game at a time like we've been doing all year. We'll leave everything on the court."
Kaitlin Paterson led the charge with 18 points, but Stephanie O'Keefe added 14 points as the Knights buried Berlin from the perimeter. Maeghan Chapman (9), Natalie Wadolowski (8), Danielle Charamut (7), and Sarah Mongillo (2) each contributed as the Knights held on for a 58-46 overtime win.
Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
The Wednesday match-up with Farmington was a chance to right a wrong. The Indians stole a late season victory from the Knights to clinch the CCC West. On Feb. 20, Southington returned the favor.
The Knights fell behind 5-0 in the first quarter and 13-9 in the second, but Southington battled back for a two point halftime lead. The Lady Knights stretched the lead to seven at the end of the third quarter and held on for a 42-35 win.
"This group is a special group," said Forgione. "I only have six kids. I have no bench. We have a freshman that's playing with a torn ACL, and she didn't get cleared until two days before we started practice. My sixth man is a junior that never played varsity before, and I've got three seniors and a sophomore that had limited experience last year. I think they just decided to stick together and play hard."
Danielle Charamut anchored the Knights with 19 points and 10 rebounds. When Farmington rallied to tie the game late in the third quarter, it was Charamut that answered back with a pair of mid-range jumpers.
O'Keefe finished with 11 points and two steals. Chapman had eight points with seven boards, and Mongillo bolstered the defense with a pair of steals. Once again, Forgione credited the entire squad.
"Every game that we're going to win is going to have to be a full team effort," he said. "We don't have any superstars. We have no one getting scholarships, and no one getting scholarships in other sports like a lot of teams do. We just want to play together as a team, and they did that tonight.
Close But No Cigar
On Thursday, Southington's run came to an end against No. 2 Glastonbury. Courtney Latham picked apart the Knights with 23 points. The Tomahawk big men held Southington to just one shot each possession. Paterson rallied for 13 points in the championship game, but Glastonbury cruised to a 52-30 win.
"They controlled the boards, and that really hurt us, but I was really proud of our effort," said Forgione. "I was proud of them for getting here. I think it's the first time that we've been here in the CCC finals…My kids never quit, but give Glastonbury credit. They were everywhere tonight."
Chapman managed nine points for the Knights, but noboy else scored more than two baskets in the loss.
Now, the Knights will try to regroup for the Class LL tournament as they prepare to face Newington (10-10) in the opening round. Southington (18-5) enters the opening round as the No. 15 seed.

6.16. For the mind that does not believe that the [tempting-] thoughts of acedia remaining in him can disturb his state and at the time of prayer darken the holy light in his eyes. It was about this very light that we, I and the servant of God Ammonius, wished to know whence it comes: and so we asked the holy John of the Thebaid whether the nature of the intellect is [itself] luminous and thus of itself gives off this light, or whether some other [light] from without shines upon and illuminates it. He answered: "Human beings are not in a position to judge this; and the nous also cannot be illuminated while praying without the grace of God, once it is freed from the numerous and fearful enemies trying hard to destroy it."+ Ps 37:11 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me, and the light of my eyes is not with me
maybe if you typed it out yourself, you would have less listlessness and you would be enlightened with the uncreated light. (and pray for me too, a sinner)
Hi Salpy,I'm not sure it's a good idea to be reading texts that were written by monks for monks, at least for the purpose of personal application in the pursuit of spiritual development. I know that this text seems a mere neat and handy compilation and arrangement of Scriptural texts, but even when it comes to the Scriptures, there are many layers of meaning--not only of general narratives and incidents, but even at times of a single word--and some verses simply do not apply to laity in the same way that they would for monks. The example in the OP is an obvious case in point. This is a matter that probably ought to be raised and discussed with your spiritual instructor in my opinion.I hope I have not offended you in any way. I intend the above in a friendly tone of gentle caution.
I just had an e-mail exchange with someone who has studied St. Evagrius extensively, and he says he is not commemorated by the Georgians.I so wish I had access to a Georgian calendar.

Staying Out of Harm's Way
The key to avoiding destructors is to realize that a destructor is always executed in addition to the destructors of its class' data members and base classes. Therefore, although it is not possible to avoid destructors completely, it is possible to encapsulate them in classes that do nothing but allocate and free resources. One such class is the
shared_ptr template from the new C++ standard. Using it, we can rewrite our
ThingHandle class this way:
// This version avoids the hazard class ThingHandle { public: ThingHandle(): tp(new Thing) { } // … private: std::shared_ptr<Thing> tp; };
By changing the type of our
tp member from
Thing* to
std::shared_ptr<Thing>, we have handed the job of worrying about memory allocation to the
shared_ptr class, thereby dropping the destructor from
ThingHandle entirely. If the compiler generates a copy constructor or assignment operator for us (or, in the new C++ standard, a move constructor or move-assignment operator), it will be up to the definition of
shared_ptr to do the right thing.
We may not be able to avoid transferring control from one part of the program to another, but at least we can give someone else the responsibility for dealing with that transfer to the compiler in the case of
goto statements, or to the runtime library in the case of destructors. In doing so, we have replaced dynamic analysis ("Does every path through every constructor leave
tp in an appropriate state?") by static analysis ("
tp has a type that does the right thing however we use it.")
Dijkstra wanted to make it easier to understand how programs work by encapsulating
goto statements in appropriately limited control structures. Analogously, we can simplify our programs by encapsulating resource management in appropriately limited data structures. Destructors often mark opportunities for such encapsulation.
Andrew Koenig's career in computing ranges from teaching programming classes at Lowell Observatory to writing the first portable implementation of
printf. Andrew was a founding member of the C++ standards committee, is the author or coauthor of three books, and is a blogger for Dr. Dobb's.

Twenty-six years ago, I attended my first town meetings as a reporter. I was new to the state and its Town Meeting Day traditions and was awed by the purely democratic form of government many of the small towns throughout Addison County had long embraced. In those days (not all that long ago, I like to think), many towns still held the meeting on that first Tuesday in March with potluck luncheons or early dinners as part of the community heritage.

Armando Vilaseca, Vermont's Education Commissioner, delivered a sobering message to area school board members last Wednesday in a session that is meant, in part, to shock-and-awe his audience. The numbers tell most of the story, which is that budgets will either have to be cut again and again for the next two years or new revenues will have to be found.
Part of the role of a town selectman is to advocate on the behalf of town residents. So when a Middlebury woman approached selectman Craig Bingham and complained that smokers at a public event at a Middlebury park had caused her kids to breathe smoke from their cigarettes or move, Bingham dutifully took the problem to the selectboard with a proposed solution: ban smoking in all town parks.
One of the roles of the selectboard is to reign in suggestions that are likely to cause friction without effectively solving the perceived problem. This is one of those times.
What was an encouraging, hopeful and humanitarian response to Haiti's desperate plight in the aftermath of its major earthquake ended abruptly this week in what we suspect was a heap of bureaucratic red tape.
Middlebury Union High School officials confirmed on Wednesday that plans to accept six Haitian students at the school for a year of study were cancelled when an U.S. Department of State official told MUHS Principal Bill Lawson that complications in obtaining visas for the students presented hurdles too large to surmount.
The state's school finance laws are again under public scrutiny because of escalating property taxes even in the face of declining school budgets. Politicians and residents opposed to Act 60 and Act 68 have been quick to pounce on the legislation's shortcomings and demand reform, or use the issue to fan the fires of discontent to gain favor (by virtue of a public disconnect with reality) among voters.
Along with this hoopla comes the inevitable lament that the finance laws are overly complex and we need to simplify the system.
Measures taken by the Middlebury selectboard to encourage Green Mountain Beverage to expand here, rather than move out of town, are to be applauded. More importantly, such measures should be encouraged and supported by Middlebury taxpayers for reasons that can be summed up quite simply: a stable or growing population helps support the town's existing infrastructure by spreading the tax burden, lowers taxes and fees (such as water and sewer rates) per capita, and provides needed commerce for area businesses and services. The opposite leads to community decline.
In a blunt assessment of the current ownership of MediaNewsGroup, The Seattle Times editorial board advised the new owners of MediaNews Group to break up the national newspaper chain and put its newspapers in the hands of local owners. We couldn't agree more.
Here's what the Seattle Times's editorial said:
If news of Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant's underground pipes leaking radioactive water into nearby wells doesn't completely nix Entergy's hope of renewing that plant's license for another 20 years, at the very least its plan to spin off ownership of the plant to an independent company called Enexus should be scrapped immediately.

Tour de France vs. IRONMAN: A Power Comparison
A wattage expert from TrainingPeaks compares Luke McKenzie's ride in Kona to Michael Rogers' Stage 16 Tour win.
by AJ Johnson
Despite the busy IRONMAN weekend behind us, this weekend also saw the culmination of another feat of endurance: the Tour de France. Triathletes and cycling fans might be asking themselves what the differences are between a top professional triathlete riding 112 miles in Kona, and top professional cyclist winning a stage of the Tour de France. It's hard to compare, but we took a look at the Quarq data from Luke McKenzie's blazing 4:21 ride in Kona (the second fastest of the day), and compared that to the SRM data from Michael Rogers' 6:03 ride to win Stage 16 of this year's Tour de France to see where they differ and what they have in common.
See Rogers' file here
See McKenzie's file here
Power primer
When it comes to power, there are three key metrics, Average Power (AP), Normalized Power (NP) and watts per kilogram (w/kg). AP is simply the mathematical average of the numbers. NP uses an algorithm to give the true physiological cost of your effort. Using w/kg, you can compare riders' wattages on an apples-to-apples basis. AP, NP and w/kg. are also used to calculate other key metrics.
Different challenges
Before diving into the numbers, it's important to understand some differences in their challenges. After his ride, McKenzie had to run a marathon, so he needed to keep some energy in reserve. Rogers was racing for a victory at the end of the stage, with no running, so he could "leave it all out there" on the bike. However, Rogers had already ridden 16 stages and a total of 1,775 miles before his victory. For McKenzie, drafting is illegal—Kona is a 112-mile individual time trial. Rogers, on the other hand, is encouraged to draft. He did get in a breakaway early with 20 other riders, so there were times when he didn't have the benefit of others. Finally, McKenzie climbed 5,459 feet, while Rogers had to climb some of the toughest mountains in the Tour, gaining 9,594 feet over 145 miles.
The most impressive aspect of Rogers' data is his w/kg power output. Rogers was able to hold 4.20 w/kg for over six hours to McKenzie's 3.87 w/kg for 4:21. Again, McKenzie still had to run after his effort—and he ran a fantastic 2:57 marathon—but Rogers had already pedaled 1,775 miles in just 16 stages. For Rogers to have this type of power output after so many consecutive days of racing is nothing short of amazing.
For McKenzie, the goal is to produce power evenly over 112 miles. The Variability Index (VI) shows how smooth or variable a rider's power output was. This is calculated by dividing NP by the AP. A key to a strong IRONMAN bike is to have a VI of 1.05 or less, and McKenzie's VI is 1.05 (295 / 281 = 1.05). Rogers is not concerned with VI in any way. In cycling, you have to respond to the attacks of the other rider(s), and then beat them to the line, there's no run afterwards to catch anyone. This often leads to a surge and recover type of racing, which leads to a higher VI. Rogers' NP was 346 watts and his AP was 296 watts, giving him a VI of 1.17 (actually fairly low for this type of racing). For most stages, Rogers' VI was 1.25 or higher. If McKenzie had Rogers' VI, he'd be cooked coming off the bike and would struggle through the run. If Rogers' had McKenzie's VI, he'd be at the back of the race. In short, each man executed well for their needs.
Rogers was in a small breakaway group from the beginning, which had to ride hard to stay away. His peak one-hour power was an amazing 387 watts, or 5.35 w/kg. Compare that to McKenzie, whose peak one-hour power in Kona was 306 watts, or 4.22w/kg. Shorter, harder efforts show an even bigger contrast. For Rogers to win, he had to attack his breakaway companions. After riding for 147 miles and with only three miles to go, he put in his race winning move. Rogers pushed 377 watts, or 5.21w/kg, and averaged 31 mph for 4:35 to drop the two riders left and cross the line first. McKenzie has no need to put in an effort that hard as it would burn up his glycogen and leave him with nothing left for the run. The fact that his peak 5 minute power is 344 watts, 4.74w/kg, is a testament to smart racing.
They do have some aspects in common. First is their Intensity Factor (IF). IF is a measure of how hard a ride was compared to the athlete's peak one-hour output, or Functional Threshold Power. For McKenzie, his IF was .81, meaning he rode at 81 percent of what he could hold for one hour for over four hours. Rogers' IF was .82 for the over six-hour ride. Granted, Rogers held his for two more hours than McKenzie, but if he didn't have to stop and run at the 112 mile mark, McKenzie could likely hold that intensity for another two hours on the bike.
Another commonality is the fact that both men were burning approximately 1,000 calories per hour during their ride. Rogers expended 6828 calories over his 6:24:29 ride while McKenzie burned through 4411 calories over 4:21:27.
As we can see, it's tough to compare these files as they aren't apples to apples. McKenzie had to run, and run fast for 26.2 miles, off the bike while Rogers had a tremendous amount of fatigue before his ride. One rider needed to be even while the other had to attack, recover and repeat. Really, the takeaway is that both men are extremely talented at what they do. The power they produce and they way they execute their strategy to accomplish their goal makes them top professionals in their sport.

Health First provides cardiac related treatment options to treat narrowing or blocked vessels.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) - PCI is also known as Coronary Angioplasty. PCI is a non-surgical procedure used to reestablish the blood flow of narrow or blocked arteries that feed the heart. PCI can assist in the reduction of or eliminate the symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the result of atherosclerosis; a buildup of plaque on the inner walls of arteries. PCI can also reduce a variety of other cardiac symptoms, such as chest pains, shortness of breath, and damage done to the heart from a heart attack.
PCI is performed by inserting a small balloon tipped tube called a catheter into an affected artery via groin or arm. When the catheter reaches the narrow or blocked area the balloon is then inflated to reopen or widen the artery, allowing the blood to flow more easily. The majority of the time, this procedure is accompanied by an insertion of a metal stent. A stent is a wire mesh tube that is left in the artery to prevent the artery from closing again. This lifesaving procedure has vastly improved the outcomes for patients who would have otherwise required cardiac bypass surgery.
Health First offers PCI procedures to residents in central and southern Brevard County at Cape Canaveral Hospital and Holmes Regional Medical Center.

Close inspection prior to slaughter will definitely preclude pigs with clinical signs of disease from being harvested. But subclinically ill pigs, those that show no visible signs of being sick, can pass inspection and thereby pose a public health hazard. Of particular concern is the potential increase in carcass contamination with salmonella and campylobacter, because those bacteria can also be shed and spread by animals at the packing plant.
Few studies have quantitatively demonstrated the link between food animal production practices and human health implications for food safety.
One study, using pooled samples of swine carcasses with tissue damage or lesions indicative of chronic infection, showed for every 1% increase in peelouts, there was a 5% increase in contamination with enterococcus and campylobacter bacteria at the end of processing compared with carcasses without lesions. However, researchers failed to establish a definite link between peelouts (removal of the pleural and peritoneal linings after evisceration) and salmonella contamination.
New Approach
Scott Hurd, DVM, associate professor of the Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine Department in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University, led a study to determine the link between lesions suggestive of subclinical illness in pigs and salmonella carcass contamination through testing of individually swabbed carcasses.
In the study, pigs representing two types of production practices were selected — antibiotic-free and conventionally raised. To avoid the potential confounder of barn of origin, sample pigs originated from one barn and were managed with the same veterinary care, housing, environment and feed. Pigs were evaluated on two separate days in a large midwestern packing plant, Hurd points out.
The carcasses were evaluated for lesions by a third-year veterinary student trained by a veterinary pathologist. Photos were taken of all carcasses and scored by three veterinary pathologists.
The study included 358 carcasses from 156 pigs raised without antibiotics and 202 pigs raised conventionally and administered antimicrobials for disease prevention and treatment.
Salmonella was recovered from 36 of 358 carcasses (10.1%). Enterococcus was recovered from 39 of 358 carcasses (10.9%). The prevalence of carcasses with salmonella differed greatly across the four replicates of the study, with prevalence in the first trial (1%) much lower than later trials (up to 10%).
"Carcasses of swine raised without antimicrobials were significantly more likely to be contaminated with salmonella (27 of 156; 17.3%) than carcasses of conventionally raised pigs (9 o f 202; 4.5%)," Hurd says. Carcasses of conventionally raised swine had a slightly higher probability of enterococcus contamination.
There was close agreement among swine veterinary pathologists on lesion scores, and there was very close agreement between the evaluations of the pathologists and the scores of the non-expert veterinary students.
The non-expert evaluators identified 182 carcasses as having lesions. Of these, 22 (12%) had positive results for salmonella and 22 (12%) had positive results for enterococcus.
In contrast, 8% and 10% of the carcasses judged as not having lesions had salmonella and enterococcus contamination, respectively.
Further analysis of the association between bacterial contamination and lesion status as defined by non-expert assessment revealed that carcasses judged as having lesions were 90% more likely to have salmonella contamination than carcasses without lesions, he says.
There was no difference in probability of enterococcus contamination regardless of carcass lesions.
The design of this study did not provide a reason for increased likelihood of pathogen contamination of carcasses with lesions vs. carcasses without lesions nor accurately compare antibiotic-free and conventionally raised swine production methods.
Carcasses of antibiotic-free pigs had a much higher probability of salmonella contamination than did carcasses from conventionally raised pigs.
"The use of carcass lesions as a health indicator is an established practice and has been commonly used to monitor the health of pigs," he observes. This has been confirmed by a number of studies.
"However, research delving into the possible association between carcass lesions and food-borne pathogen contamination at processing is lacking."
This study highlights and quantifies the often-discussed one-health impact of veterinary care that "healthy pigs really do make safer food," Hurd says.
The probability of salmonella contamination associated with carcass lesions observed in this study may seem like a small increase compared with epidemiological standards. "However, when applied to the 95 million pigs harvested annually in the United States, the implications for public health are nontrivial," Hurd says. "For example, if the prevalence of carcasses with lesions increased by 50% (from 7.1% to 10.7%), that would add 140,220 salmonella-contaminated carcasses to the U.S. food supply."
Animal Welfare Group Rebuts Stance on Antibiotic Resistance
Animal Welfare Approved, an Alexandria, VA-based animal welfare group, has called a recent paper discounting the link between farm antibiotic use and the development of antibiotic-resistant disease in humans as "misleading" and "highly irresponsible."
Researchers at the United Kingdom's University of Glasgow compared the development of antibiotic resistance in animals and people in Scotland for Salmonella typhimurium DT 104 — a bacterium that is considered a major source of food poisoning in humans.
Scottish researchers concluded that the local animal populations were "unlikely to be the major source of resistance diversity for humans." As a result, the "current policy emphasis on restricting antimicrobial use in domestic animals may be overly simplistic," they suggested.
A number of agricultural interests reacted by using that research to criticize attempts to impose restrictions on the use of antibiotics in farming. Their argument is that the paper suggests the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture is not a major contributor to the development of antibiotic resistance in diseases that affect humans.
But Animal Welfare Approved says the University of Glasgow researchers' conclusions stand in contrast to over 50 years of research in this scientific endeavor and contradict the position of a number of notable national and international authorities.
Andrew Gunther, program director for Animal Welfare Approved, says the research presents some "highly perplexing" conclusions. "For example, why did they choose to effectively hide the fact that the antibiotic-resistant salmonella types that originated in humans only — and not as a result of the use of antibiotic use in farming — actually accounts for less than 2% of all human cases of the disease?
"And why did they fail to tell us whether the types of antibiotic-resistant salmonella that affect both humans and animals first originated in either humans or animals and, thus, establish whether or not factory farming is to blame?"
Gunther says, "This research paper should have been published with far more modest and balanced conclusions."

This is not what a total vindication looks like Mr Key
First rule of gambling?House always wins.
Cost of Convention center? $350million
Amount of misery crushing pokie machines? 300
Cost of Gambling? $2billion
Lunch with Key? Priceless
And apparently forgetful as well. The AG says, "we do not consider that the evaluation process was transparent or even handed" - Ummm, Mr Key, that isn't a 'total vindication' in the pokies deal.
Key spinning this as a total vindication is a very good example of using the headlines and soundbites as a tool to drown out all else. Yes Key hasn't been found to be colluding for private benefit but large questions remain over the PM getting so involved in a deal.
It is clear to see that Key's personal involvement skewed the deal towards Sky City. Now the PM is a very powerful person, he can get things done and the question we ask ourselves is do we want a PM who is bending the rules to push through positive change that enriches egalitarian NZ? Sure we do, we would want a PM working hard for the people, but that's not really what John's done here is it?
Key has pushed the rules to the point of breaking to enrich a bloody casino. Of all the evil organizations that don't deserve any help whatsoever, our Prime Minister is pimping for the ugly gambling industry.
We tolerate regulated gambling the way we tolerate sex offenders being released after their sentence. Reluctantly. The nightmare of gambling prohibition would hand organized crime billions, so we put up with regulated gambling because the cure is worse than the disease.
I don't care what your little report 'clears' you of Mr Key - allowing Sky City to increase their misery machines in exchange for an ugly convention center are still crimes against society and tasteful architecture.

"All She Must Possess"
By Susan McCully
Directed by Joseph Ritsch
February 8–25, 2018
The Baltimore Cone sisters, Dr. Claribel and Miss Etta, daughters of German-Jewish immigrants, could have lived tranquil, appropriate lives as respected Victorian ladies. Instead, the iconic duo voraciously collected art and curios from around the world. The unassuming Etta, often overshadowed by her sister, sat demurely among art and literary geniuses of the early twentieth century while slowly amassing one of world's greatest Modern art collections. "All She Must Possess" is a highly theatrical celebration of Etta's extraordinary life. Works of art come alive and her one-time lover, Gertrude Stein, sings her praises as we watch her journey from society laughingstock to doyen of Modernity.
"All She Must Possess" will be Rep Stage's production in participation with the 2018 DC Women's Voices Theater Festival.
Ticket Information:
- General Admission: $40
- Seniors (60+)/Military: $35
- Students: $15 (Must present current student ID or course schedule) *
- Groups: $34/person for groups of 10 or more patrons.
PLEASE NOTE: When ordering tickets by phone, please indicate if you qualify for Senior (60+ years old), Military, HCC Staff or Student Discount prior to payment. This will ensure correct pricing.

Hunting might not be for everyone, but for sixth graders at Hillsboro Middle School and Peabody-Burns Elementary Schools the offering of an eight-session hunter safety course elective is a popular option.
"We have 12 students taking the course this year," said Evan Yoder, licensed instructor and Hillsboro Elementary School principal. "We meet every two weeks or whenever Hillsboro has their club activities from 2 to 3:30 p.m."
On Friday, students met at the Peabody Country Club for a special walk-through session, part of a four-section rotation schedule for class that day.
"We had Bob McVey give a conservation talk, some trappers from Portis in Osborne County came to show us their collections of traps and furs, we had pellet gun targets and shooting, and then we had the actual hunter safety walk-through course," Yoder said.
Deer decoys and pop-up pheasant and quail cutouts, plus a visit from Kansas Fish and Game warden Marvin Peterson made the day one to remember for those involved.
"The state really supports us in doing this," Yoder said. "But what I like most about it is that not only do we have certified instructors, but since the kids are all the same age, they really feel free to ask questions and talk about what we are learning."
Helping instruct the class are Len Coryea and Ann Janzen from Hillsboro.
Yoder said the final class meeting is Dec. 14, at which time the students will take a final test. If they pass the test, the students will be issued lifetime hunter safety cards, necessary to obtain hunting licenses in the future.

People have been telling them the AH was a mistake since it was announced, so it's good to see them finally concede the point.
It's difficult to enjoy the loot farming when you know that your time would be better spent gaming the AH. Obviously there will be 3rd party sites that will pick up this service, but it'll be much easier to ignore.

* Says a furniture-wallah friend who's doing Jaya's flat up, "Arre, everytime I go to her house, I find that Bachchan chap lying stretched out on the carpet in her bedroom!" Do you knock before you enter, friend?
When you read through a bunch of it in one go, you realise what an amazing list of gossips they strung up in a span of just a few issues. Following is my gleanings from Sept 1972 to July 1973. Purely indicative, far from exhaustive!
Sept 72: Asha Bhonsle- OP Nayyar split official.
Oct 72: Rekha finally turned nineteen!
Nov 72: Hema Malini turned down Sanjeev Kumar's proposal because something was cooking between her and cricketer Venkatraghavan.
Dec 72: Anju-Dimple incident at Rajesh Khanna's birthday party, when Anju knocked out Dimple's name from the guest list but Rajesh went out and personally invited Dimple and her entire khandaan.
PS: Dimple was too involved with Chintoo Kapoor to give Rajesh any serious thought!
Jan 73: Shobha Sippy quit her job as an air-hostess in the hope of getting married to Jeetendra (which eventually happened many months later).
Feb 73: Rumours of a romance between Kiran Kumar and Yogita Bali surfaced at Ramanand Sagar's son's wedding.
Admittedly, a dull month - as only aficionados would appreciate.
Mar 73: Rajesh-Anju quarrel at party. Rajesh engaged to Dimple the very next day and married her three days later.
April 73: Three whiffs of romance - Mumtaz and Mayur Madhvani, Kiran Kumar and Radha Saluja, Hema Malini and Rajendra Kumar!
May 73: Shatrughan Sinha proposed to Zeenat Aman, while an indifferent Dev Anand carried on with her.
Zanjeer released.
June 73: Amitabh-Jaya married. Tanuja married Shomu Mukherjee. Rishi Kapoor hooks up with Neetu Singh.
Rekha's marriage with Vinod Mehra on the rocks, apparently due to Moushumi Chatterjee.
July 73: Rekha's suicide attempt. Pointed out that if she had made the attempt a day later, she (and Vinod Mehra) wouldn't have missed the most fun party of the year - Jalal Agha's birthday party.
Coming up is an 'investigative' piece on what grounds the Censor Board cited to block certain films.

Sundance Institute names two new directors
Two familiar faces will be sliding into place as the Sundance Institute's veteran Managing Director Jill Miller exits after 23 years with the organization. Sarah Pearce and Laurie Hopkins, who both have extensive experience with the Institute, will serve as co-managing directors beginning Jan. 1, just in time to oversee this year's Sundance Film Festival, Jan. 17-27.
Pearce, whose responsibilities for the last 13 years have focused on the Film Festival's operations, will expand that role to cover the London Film and Music Festival, the Institute Labs and community relations in Utah.
Hopkins, whose is currently the Institute's Director of Budgeting and Administration is charged with overseeing finances, human resources and both long- and short-term planning. According to a press release from Sundance, Hopkins's resume includes stints at Powdr Corp. and First Security.
Both are Utah natives and are active in the community. Pearce sits on the board of the Park City Chamber/Bureau and Hopkins is the treasurer of the Summit County Public Arts Advisory Board.
According to Hopkins, "Utah is home for us and we value the friends and partners we have developed in the Utah community. We are thrilled that both of us came from backgrounds in Utah and understand the Utah community and that we can essentially build on and continue. And certainly the great mentoring we have had from Jill is part of that.
"It is really exciting that the organization has looked to promote from within. Laurie and I work really well together. We are looking forward to this leadership partnership, said Pearce, adding, "Being from Utah and an avid skier and a lover of these mountains I feel so blessed to have a career that I love and a beautiful place that I get to live in."
As to whether they plan on initiating any changes this year, Pearce said, "I worked very closely with Jill for over 13 years and she has built such an amazing foundation and a really great jumping off point for us and I am excited to put my own personality on this job.
Hopkins echoed that sentiment saying, "We have a really great team on board and a healthy organization and I am excited to build on that."
Sundance also announced that Brooke McAffee had been named as the Institute's Chief Financial Officer. She has been Sundance's Director of Finance since 2005.
County loses employees with half-century of experience, ties to East Side
Anita Lewis, Brent Ovard and Travis English were influential in shaping how residents interact with the county.

I started knitting my gown in May of 2011. I was inspired by the Emerald City gowns in the Broadway musical Wicked. Wicked had toured Eugene in April and I thought those Emerald City gowns would make great Slug Queen costumes. Being a textural knitter, or an unconventional knitter to say the least I had the idea to knit a gown. Thus the creation of Sadie Slimy Stitches.
My gown took 418 days to knit using 43 different green yarns. I made the pattern myself. Just knitting and fitting it as I went. A couple of friends of mine donated green tshirts that I cut into "yarn" and knit myself a train. Christina knit me a bunch of little slugs. I sewed 30 onto my train to represent the 30th year of Slug Queens- one for every queen! I added silver organza ribbon as 'slime trails.'
My little top hat fascinator was knitted by one of my Slugettes, Vicki. It's knit and felted. She also make a beautiful sparkly green veil to go with it. I finished it off with sparkly ribbon and a peacock feather.
My leggings are one of a kind by Allihalla. Alli makes the best swimsuits and I commissioned her to make me some Slug Queen leggings. I bought the spandex online and told her surprise me. They're perfect!
My shoes are Vans slip-ons that I commissioned my friend Candice to paint. What a great job! Yarn, a royal slug, knitted stitches and slime? Perfect!
I knit my purse as part of the Ravellenic Games on Ravelry. I knit then felted it. I needle felted for the first time to create the image of a slug carrying a bouquet of heart balloons.
Lastly, my parasol. Hands down the most difficult thing I've ever knit. An Herbert Niebling pattern, I knit it with lace weight and stretched it to fit over a parasol frame. You can read more about it on my past post.
To finish it all off, Sarah Clifford created my hair and make-up. Curled and teased and sprayed, my hair is HUGE! Sparkly eyes, bow lips... She did an amazing job of helping me to create Sadie's character.

Invisible Worlds
Categories: Earth
Sep 23, 2013
You can't see it, but it's there, whether an atom, a gravity wave, or the bottom of the ocean … but we have technology that allows us to detect what eludes our sight. When we do, whole worlds open up.
Without telescopes, asteroids become visible only three seconds before they slam into the Earth. Find out how we track them long before that happens. Also, could pulsars help us detect the gravity waves that Einstein's theory predicts?
Plus, why string theory and parallel universes may remain just interesting ideas … the story of the woman who mapped the ocean floor … and why the disappearance of honeybees may change what you eat.
