Sr. Director of Marketing
Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack
Morgan Hook
New York Gaming Association
FARMINGTON, N.Y. – Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack (FLCR) and the New York Gaming Association (NYGA) launched a new statewide television campaign today to remind taxpayers that New York's racetrack casinos are reliable partners for education as schools open for the new year. FLCR has contributed $413.5 million to education since opening in February 2004, including more than $40.1 million so far in 2012, according to figures released by the New York Division of the Lottery – enough to fund the annual salaries of approximately 576 teachers.
"It is especially gratifying to know that revenues generated here at Finger Lakes directly impact the education of our next generation in New York. To share this information is important so that taxpayers are fully aware of the positive impact of not only Finger Lakes, but of all racetrack casinos in New York," said Chris Riegle, president and general manager of Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack. "This public-private partnership with the state is a model for how productive relationships between government and the private sector can exist for the benefit of all.
The new ad campaign will be featured in eight markets, including Rochester, New York City, Albany, and Buffalo, and will run for at least two weeks as students return to schools across New York. The ad can be viewed on NYGA's website at www.newyorkgaming.org. A transcript of the spot is below:
What do racetrack casinos mean for New York?
Reliable funding for our schools, which means lower property taxes for all of us.
New York's racetrack casinos pay one of the highest tax rates in the country…contributing billions for New York schools.
Next year alone, they'll provide $1 billion dollars for our schools – equaling the salaries of nearly 13,000 teachers.
A reliable partner for education…just as our kids head back to school.
New York's racetrack casinos. The best choice for New York's schools.
Combined, the nine racetrack casinos that make up the New York Gaming Association have contributed $3.4 billion to education since 2004 – including more than $550 million so far in 2012.
"The New York Gaming Association is a reliable partner for New York's education system and we are incredibly proud of our record of successfully providing for the state's school children," James Featherstonhaugh, President of the New York Gaming Association said. "Our racetrack casinos have been part of the communities they serve for generations, providing not only entertainment, but positively contributing to communities by helping to control property taxes and funding education. We are committed to helping New Yorkers, and the proof is in our record of success."
Last month, NYGA announced that its members, which operate at an average tax rate of 68 percent, contributed nearly double the amount of revenue to New York than the Las Vegas Strip and Atlantic City casinos generated for their home states combined in the first six months of 2012, despite having full-fledged casinos.
More information on FLCR is available at www.fingerlakescasino.com. Full reports of all racetrack site financial contributions to New York State are available at nylottery.ny.gov.
About Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack: In operation since 1962, the facility added gaming to its offering in 2004 with a $10.5 million expansion. Over 2 million visitors annually now enjoy nearly 1,200 slot machines, the newly expanded 448-seat Vineyard Buffet restaurant, a sports bar and grill, as well as live and simulcast thoroughbred racing. Casino doors open at 8am and racing doors open at 11:30am daily. For more information, visit www.fingerlakescasino.com.

Elektra Women's Choir present Romance: Schumann, Brahms, & Fauré
Morna Edmundson, Artistic Director
An Afternoon Salon With Elektra Women's Choir and Guests
with guest artists
Martha Guth, soprano
Heidi Krutzen, harp
Ben Kinsman & Oliver de Clercq, French horn
Stephen Smith, piano
Sunday, June 6 3:00 pm
Ryerson United Church
2195 W 45th Ave, Vancouver BC
$26 | $20 Ticketmaster.ca 604.280.3311 or from the choir office 604.739.1255
Elektra Women's Choir is planning a unique concert to close their season on June 6. Romance: Schumann, Brahms, & Fauré, is a glittering exploration of the music of the Romantic Era, presented in the format of an afternoon salon, complete with a roster of talented guest artists whose solo performances will enrich an already abundant program. Artistic Director, Morna Edmundson, has opened a treasure chest of repertoire that includes harp, French horn, and piano accompaniment to showcase Elektra's lustrous sound.
Elektra is particularly pleased to partner with the Vancouver International Song Institute (VISI) for Romance. The performance is part of VISI's SONGFIRE Festival of Song, a new collaboration with a constellation of Vancouver arts organizations that highlights song in all of its forms. VISI faculty member and soprano, Martha Guth, will be featured as soloist for Romance, alongside harpist Heidi Krutzen, Ben Kinsman and Oliver de Clercq on French horn, and pianist, Stephen Smith.
The central work of the concert is Brahm's Four Songs for Women's Chorus, two horns and harp Op. 17. Lyrical, subdued and full of warm nostalgia, the vocal lines are masterfully set amongst the rich sonority of their accompaniment. Members of MIRA, Elektra's mentorship program for high school-aged singers, will join the choir for the Brahms as well as in some works by Fauré.
Romance offers an early summer afternoon's entertainment, and an invitation into a musical age when fantasy, imagination, and a quest for adventure in far away lands played an important role. Come and be borne away into the golden reveries of Romance: Schumann, Brahms, & Fauré.
Tickets to Romance are available through Ticketmaster (604.280.3311) or through the Elektra office (604.739.1255.)
Elektra gratefully acknowledges the ongoing support of the Canada Council for the Arts, City of Vancouver, Government of British Columbia, CBC, Borden Ladner Gervais, Martha Lou Henley Charitable Foundation, Hamber Foundation, and Wolrige Foundation. Elektra also thanks its many generous individual donors and volunteers - their support makes us sing.

So had a look at this for Momoderator -
- material defs had typos and were missing some info, \ instead of / etc. So I created a single def with the correct info and changed a few things.
- some typo's in the textures names, spec but had specular in the material def. and normal instead of local.
- missing the qer_editorimage in material defs and image files.
- I changed the texture paths in the .ASE file to match the changes I made.
So I created a model in DR and used your textures and its appears fine in-game so that would indicate there is an issue with the exporeting process. I see your using ASCII export 2.51, I dont know if there is an issue with this.

This recording celebrates medieval women as performers, subjects and composers. There are chants, motets, canciones and conducti of love, both spiritual and temporal, honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, extolling the virtues of sainted and royal women, and illuminating the everyday lives of cloistered as well as secular women. Of the saints, Mary the Virgin was, of course, the most frequently honored. However, several female saints and martyrs were extolled and revered in medieval poetry and music; Saint Catherine (and her fiery wheel), Saint Ursula (with her 11,000 virgin martyrs), Saint Agnes (the Roman, child martyr), and Saint Margaret (swallowed by Satan in the form of a dragon).
Released in association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art to coincide with its "Treasures of a Lost Art exhibit, this albums feature a dozen women artists directed by Frederick Renz, representing the female face of medieval music in the ecstatic, secular and spiritual works of the time.

Ecuador's name comes from the Equator, which divides it unequally, putting most of the country in the Southern Hemisphere. It may be the smallest Andean country, but it has four distinct and contrasting regions. The Costa, or coastal plain, grows enough bananas to make the country the world's largest exporter of the fruit. The Sierra, or Andean uplands, offers productive farmland. Oil from the Orient, jungles east of the Andes, enriches the economy. The Galápagos Islands, volcanic islands 960 kilometers west of Ecuador, bring tourism revenue with its unique reptiles, birds, and plants.
The country is divided ethnically as well as regionally. About 10 percent of the population is of European descent, about a quarter belong to indigenous cultures, and the rest are of mostly mixed ethnicity. Those of Spanish descent often are engaged in administration and land ownership in Quito and the surrounding Andean uplands; this is also where most of the indigenous people live—many are subsistence farmers.
As a result, land-tenure reform is an explosive issue. The city of Guayaquil dominates the coastal plain, largely populated by mestizos. Guayaquil—the country's largest city, major port, and leading commercial center—is a rival to Quito. This is the wealthiest part of Ecuador, and complaints that tax revenues are squandered in the capital are common.
Regional and ethnic issues contribute to political instability for Ecuador's democracy.
Industry: Petroleum, food processing, textiles, metal work
Agriculture: Bananas, coffee, cacao, rice; cattle; balsa wood; fish
Exports: Petroleum, bananas, shrimp, coffee, cacao
Ecuador is a country straddling the equator on South America's west coast. Its diverse landscape encompasses Amazon jungle, Andean highlands and the wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands. In the Andean foothills at an elevation of 2,850m, Quito, the capital, is known for its largely intact Spanish colonial center, with decorated 16th- and 17th-century palaces and churches including the ornate Compañía de Jesús cathedral.

Learning about Georgia begins with understanding the profile of the people who live here — and the perspectives of those who live outside the state.
Georgia's demographic profile reveals a citizenry that is highly diverse and well educated—with ample evidence that Georgians are enterprising and inventive.
Georgia's great geographical location with its access to four major U.S interstate highways, as well as its extensive rail system, make the state of Georgia an unbeatable logistical starting point both domestically and internationally. 80 percent of the U.S can be accessed within a two-day drive from Georgia. International export is also improved via the two deep-water seaports in Savannah georgia-mapand Brunswick, which can serve all major ocean carriers and export goods to 153 out of the 195 countries around the world.
Georgia is home to 16 Fortune 500 headquarters much thanks to its business-friendly climate. This environment enables companies to start or expand a profitable business with smaller risks.
The State of Georgia's key industries include Aerospace, Automotive, Information Technology (IT) and Life Science, among many more.
Metro Atlanta's increasing population, smart tax incentives, and great climate (resulting in a long travel season), combined with the top-ranked airport and highway system in the nation, and makes Georgia a natural place to start a business.
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport situated in Atlanta is the world's busiest passenger airport, with non-stop flights to 89 international cities in 55 countries around the globe.
Georgia prides itself on being a diverse state with one of the nation's most diverse populations. Georgia also has a greater variation of business owners compared to the national average. For example African Americans own 20.4 percent of business firms, which is triple to the national average. The amount of women-owned firms also exceeds the national percentage.

Shadow Heir picks up a few months after the ending of Iron Crowned. I was relieved to see that pregnancy hadn't changed Eugenie's sarcastic personality.
One of my biggest issues with Eugenie from past books is how she goes back and forth between Kiyo and Dorian. She fights and breaks up with Kiyo and goes to Dorian. She fights and breaks up with Dorian and goes to Kiyo. I wanted her to make up her mind! Or at least not go between the two so easily. Thankfully, after Kiyo's reaction at the end of Iron Crowned, we no longer have to worry about him being a love interest…but my biggest concern was, would Dorian and Eugenie ever work things out and finally be together for good?
There were so many things that happened in this book. I thought the book would mostly center on Eugenie's pregnancy and children, and a lot of it did, but there was also a last big quest; one that involves having to work with certain enemies. It always amazes me how many new elements and characters Richelle Mead can put into one book and not make it seem like anything important was left out.
I always love to read about Dorian, because…well, because he's Dorian! He's sexy, charming, deadly, and there's nothing he wouldn't do for Eugenie. The problem has always been whether Dorian loves Eugenie or his ambition more. I, for one, have always believed in Dorian, and in this book, he proves to be everything I knew he was and more. I also hate Kiyo with the same passion I love Dorian. The more Kiyo tries to be "reasonable" or a team-player (for the greater good, and all that jazz), the more I wanted to kick his ass. Him and Meiwenn both!! Oh, how I hate her too!!
Richelle Mead also throws some huge curveballs that I certainly did not see coming! HUGE! You may think you know how this will all play out, but let me tell you…I was not prepared. And let me also tell you that right after finishing the last paragraph, I threw the book across the room. I was SO upset! It took me a few minutes of fuming over it, some venting on Twitter, and a reread of the last two chapters after I'd calmed down, to finally appreciate the ending. I wish this one thing would have been different, but I understand why Eugenie does it.
The ending is the definition of bittersweet. I am really sad that it has come to an end. Though Richelle Mead leaves it open-ended enough for us to imagine the future of these characters, however ideal we wish to make that future, and I know in my mind everyone lives happily ever after together.
Also! I wouldn't be opposed to a spin-off YA series featuring the twins…just saying. :)

#1 New York Times bestselling author Richelle Mead returns to the Otherworld, a mystic land inextricably linked to our own – and balanced precariously on one woman's desperate courage…
Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land's prophecy-haunted queen, there's no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld…
The spell-driven source of the blight isn't the only challenge to Eugenie's instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can't trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can't – or won't – reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon – and risk the ultimate sacrifice.

Disk Partitioning for better performance and ease of use
Why partition you hard disk?
As we discussed on this page: Temporary File Issues Having a single partition for all your files is most likely to result in a loss of performance over time. By "Partitioning" the hard disk, this can be avoided and we can get other benefits from a more little planning and configuration than the "big Name" manufacturers provide when they opt for a "quick and dirty" single partition.
Note: Windows will often create a tiny, reservered "System" partition of 100MB - 250MB in addition to the main "C" drive. Please ignore that partition and leave it exactly as it is - it is crucial for the correct booting and operation of the system. We are referring to partitioning the "Rest" of the disk into two partitions - rather than one.
Improved and Simple Partition Structure
Apart from improved overall performance, an additional disk partition has other benefits:
- Faster backups as the "C:" drive no longer includes many temporary files
- Make an "install" folder for system drivers and downloaded installation files to make re-installing Windows much easier as the additional partition is not lost if the "C:" drive is re-formatted.
- Quicker Virus and Malware scans of drive "C:" due to no temporary files.
- The Temp folder(s) can be easily located and emptied.
We suggest making the additional partition drive "T:" (for "Temp") and this also allows it to be consistent across many PCs. By setting the volume name to be "T-Temp" it is very obvious what both the allocated drive letter and function of the partition are. This is particularly useful when accessing the drive from a boot disk - or if connected to another PC via a USB adapter, for example, when the allocated drive letters will not be maintained.
By the same token, setting the volume label of the "C:" drive to a name such as "C-Win7" makes recognising the partitions very clear and simple when viewed from a different system. As this is typically done to recover data from the disk, having clearly labled partitions makes the process far clearer.
To view the current disk partitioning arrangement, <Right-Click> on the "Computer" icon on the desktop (as shown below) or start menu and <Click> "Manage", in the "Computer Management" window displayed, click "Disk Management" in the left-hand pane.
In the above example, the hard disk has a 100MB "System Reserved" partition, created automatically during installation and two additional partitions, a large 307GB drive "C:" and an additional 12GB "T:" drive for temporary files, drivers and downloaded installation files which has a volume label of "T-Temp" for quick and easy recognition.
Later we will see how to move the various temporary file locations and Internet Explorer to use the new partition.
For now, create a folder called "install" on the "T:" drive (T:\install) - this will be used to create sub-folders and store downloaded program files before installation.

Lovely cards, enjoy that power bill while it lasts!ReplyDelete
Hi Ally, what pretty mail! The pincushion is beautiful :)ReplyDelete
It would have been a shock to open your power bill. If only! I don't use a dryer and we have a big wood heater for warm, but somehow the bill is still scary for me. What bill isn't?!
Can you tell me what dslr/lens you use? I am on a mission to decide on a camera. As much as I'd like the new Olympus OMD I am begining to think that a a cheap second hand dslr might do.
Pins lost down the couch - I'd be too scared to sit - ouch! Your new pin cushion is gorgeous! No, no tumble dryer here, just load upon load of washing on vents - it;s not the best of looks!ReplyDelete
Such pretty envelopes, what a treat to receive one of those. And you've just reminded me of something. I used to send Mom a post card from everywhere we went. I know she kept them all, I must get up in the loft to find them. That's a lot of history in a box.ReplyDelete
More and more of our mail arrives by email, and almost all our bills are paid by monthly direct debit, so no scary bills :-)
Couldn't live without a tumble dryer here x.
I love Shelley's pincushions :)ReplyDelete
we don't have a tumble dryer - we have several rack in front of the fire, there are certainly some times we wish we did though.
So many pretty things in the mail. :) Just lovely!ReplyDelete
I sometimes use the tumble dryer but it's because it's included in the rent. ;D
Ooh, lovely mail!ReplyDelete
Wow, wouldn't it be nice if that hydro bill stays that way! We have logged on and done a bill prediction this winter so as not to be too alarmed. We also pay money off it each fortnight so it's much more manageable when it arrives but yes, we use a tumble dryer and 2 very expensive heaters this year too :( looking forward to hopefully having a woodheater installed next year and rigging up drying racks Chinese laundry style :)
Ps. That peacock pincushion is gorgeous :)ReplyDelete

The Radio Show
The Phoenix Hour, hosted by Elizabeth Foley www.divinehealing.us is over.
In my opinion, this was the best interview I ever did. How to account for this? Perhaps experience, yet I think it was something else. All the interviewers have been as wonderful and welcoming and warm and as positive about Heavenletters as Elizabeth, so I think it was the liveliness of people calling in and commenting and asking questions that made this interview exciting.

Not a Hit but a Miss
A web site with a readership of 250,000 women asked for authors to tell about their books.If this site chose your book, they would feature a video presentation. Naturally, Heaven applied for it. I spent a lot of time on this. God's words and your words were the very best of the Heaven presentation. I do not know who could resist God's words, your testimonials, and your photos.
Well, they did. We got turned down very quickly!
Nevertheless, this site is high in my estimation because they did offer this opportunity, they did reply, and it was a most courteous reply. They thought we just weren't a good fit. The site that turned us down is more into the relative than the spiritual. Of course, as I see it, the spiritual is a great boon to business and employment and every area of life. My thoughts are a given, but it's their thoughts that count in this matter, of course.
I also like to think that something was accomplished nevertheless. Energy went into the presentation. The lovely representative of that organization now has heard of Heavenletters. And we don't know how far on the subtle levels our submission may have reached. We may never know.
Here are just a couple of the delightful testimonials:
"I cannot tell you how much Heavenletters mean to me. I cry for the beauty of the words –
I laugh out loud - I gasp with realization...and Heavenletters get me moving!"
Chris Macklen,England
"I have often recommended A Course in Miracles to my clients. Now I am delighted to also recommend Heavenletters, for they too answer the deepest questions of the human heart."

A Personal Message from Heaven's Creative Director
There was once a yogi who lived in a cave. He sat and meditated most of the time. His cave got dusty. One day a young man came by the cave and saw the yogi deep in meditation. The young man saw the cave could do with some dusting and cleaning so he cleaned the cave. The young man came by every now and then to clean the cave. He found that his spirit was lifted everytime he visited the cave to clean. The yogi asked for nothing nor did the young man, yet the circle was complete as they both gave to each other what was in their capacity.

Article Title
Archaeological Monitoring of the HEB-GSA Parking Lot: Impacts to the San Pedro Acequia
In October, 1997, the Center for Archaeological Research of The Univeristy of Texas at San Antonio monitored parking lot construction activities at the Federal Center (4IBX622), part of the old United States Arsenal, in downtown San Antonio, Texas. The new parking lot, being constructed by H. E. Butt Grocery Company on land leased from the General Services Adminstration, will impact a section of the San Pedro Acequia which runs beneath an existing parking lot in the same location. The monitoring of these activities documented two sections of the acequia and corrected previous projections of the acequia's route. It is CAR's recommendation that the monitoring and documentation project has mitigated any adverse effects to the acequia. 1

Applications are open for our 2017 Accelerator Program
Sprint, Virgin Mobile USA, Pinsight Media+ and Dairy Farmers of America to be a part of our fourth program to help startups build and strengthen their businesses
For our fourth program, which will begin April 3, we have announced new corporate sponsors for our accelerator program. More sponsors will be announced but we are excited about our first group: Sprint, Pinsight Media+ and Dairy Farmers of America.
Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure announced at our 2016 Sprint Mobile Accelerator Demo Day last spring, that we will be joining with other businesses for the next evolution of our program to offer increased collaboration among established companies and startups. Allowing our corporate sponsors to select startups that align with their strategic goals gives them increased access to innovative products and services. And, each startup selected for the program, will receive unprecedented resources from these sponsors.
The 90-day program will feature mentors from the lead sponsor organizations and from the investor, business development and entrepreneurial communities, as well as business building informational sessions.
So, what kind of startups will our sponsors be looking for?
Sprint – Sprint is a communications services company that creates more and better ways to connect its customers to the things they care about most.
Pinsight Media+ – Pinsight Media+, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprint, is combining first-party data with mobile web and app data to uncover users' actual habits and brand affinities to provide targeted ad campaigns.
Both Sprint and Pinsight Media+ are looking for startups focused on data analytics, advertising technology and omni-channel services.
Dairy Farmers of America – Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) is a national dairy marketing cooperative that serves and is owned by more than 14,000 members on more than 8,000 farms in 48 states. DFA is committed to providing value to its farmer-owners through marketing members' milk, providing services and resources on the farm and investing in plants and brands such as Borden® Cheese, Plugrá® Butter, and Kemps® that connect family farms to family tables.
DFA is looking for startups in AgTech with applications related to any portion of the dairy value chain including, but not limited to, product testing, data management, herd health and management, supply chain optimization, sustainability and traceability.
"New developments in agriculture and food production are key to ensure we continue delivering nutritious dairy to consumers around the world in a safe, sustainable and efficient manner," said Monica Massey, senior vice president and chief of staff for DFA. "This partnership with the Sprint Accelerator offers us a unique opportunity to connect with Ag Tech entrepreneurs who have ideas on how technology can bring greater value to our dairy farmer-owners — whether it's on the dairy farm, in the transportation network, in our plants, even connecting with consumers in grocery stores, farmer's markets or at the dinner table."
Here are some of the highlights of the 2017 Accelerator program:
- Targeted, strategic meetings with the corporate partner teams to discuss business development, pilots and potential sponsorships;
- Mentors from the Corporate Sponsors and their networks, as well as from the investor, business development and entrepreneurial communities;
- Business building sessions around product, brand, marketing and entrepreneurship;
- State-of-the-art workspace facilities provided at Sprint Accelerator in Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District.
"Continuing the magic which happens at the Sprint Accelerator is important for the KC community," said Darcy Howe of the KC Rise Fund. "Seeds of innovation needed by a region and by corporations which want to grow start in hubs of collaboration and connectivity. Put another 'W' in the column for KC!"

On the needles: the Debbie Bliss Landgirl Fairisle jumper
My wonderful knitty chum Katie of My Vintage Dresser has helped ease me through the pain by offering me advice with reading the pattern and recommending me the pattern and yarn.
So, what am I trying to knit - well it is a darling modern "vintage style" pattern from Debbie Bliss. A beautiful natural coloured short sleeved sweater with a Fairisle yoke, shown in the centre here.
This is a bargain bundle of patterns, just over £5 for some real beauties, and in my eyes this is the pick of the bunch. The patterns are available at Hejhog, here.
The yarn suggested, Debbie Bliss Rialto 4ply (also available at Hejhog at a very reasonable price), is just a dream to work with. Soft on the hands and springy, and is making even the acres of K1, P1 rib a pleasure (well not quite but I'm not screaming at it like I usually do).
So far I have knit 3.5 inches of the back ribbing and am yet to start the colourwork, so stay tuned for the inevitable mistakes and stresses to come.
If I can pull this one off I'll be properly impressed with myself.
Wish me luck!

I wish I could face my knitting fears, but my fear is that I cannot knit for toffee so I'm pretty much stuffed.ReplyDelete
I feel a little bit green looking at that pattern. Can't wait to see you in it.
Oh! have major pattern envy! Just love the jumper what a gorgeous pattern on the neck line, I have got to get me that book!ReplyDelete
I am a fellow k1,p1 rib hater so your not alone,I always just want to get it over with so I can get on to the proper knitting!
Good Luck with it, I am sure it will be worth the effort!
Good luck with the colorwork! That's a really cute pattern. I've been loving mostly plain sweaters with a bit of colorwork up in the yoke or yoke and sleeves lately. I'm working on one too! If you haven't worked a lot of colorwork before just make sure to keep your floats loose at the back for that whole body section where there's only a smattering of the contrast color since they are only one stitch each. Otherwise you run the risk of them sort of sucking themselves back into the pattern and you won't see some of them. (I say from past experience. LOL)ReplyDelete
Oh and let me add my voice to the choir: 1x1 ribbing SUCKS.
You can do it!! Just think once you get through it the first time, it will get easier and easier. It took me 3 years and 5 teachers to FINALLY get the swing out in Lindy. I could east coast swing, but I could never grasp the Lindy swing out. Now I rock it and cock it. I don't know what that means...ReplyDelete
Good luck chuck! You will handle it no probs, I'm sure of it!ReplyDelete
Ah, come on, the welt is the easy bit!!! (Joke!) I remember doing nearly 5 inches of k1p1 rib in the equivalent to a 2ply on size 13 needles- it was the devil!
Oh wow, I saw this book once and wanted ever so much to buy it but thought that there's no point at all until I have mastered something other than straight lines of normal stitch (ie scarves)! I really just need to sit down and just read and try but instead I'm always too indecisive/scared to do anything!ReplyDelete
I congratulate you on tackling the knitting fears, imagine how amazing it will be when you own that jumper! And can say, 'Oh this little thing? I made it' when people ask! tee hee xx
Good luck love to see the end result i have this book but yet to knit from it.ReplyDelete
Well done on facing your fears! Gosh I'm full of admiration I'm so lazy as mum knits but really I ought to at some point, maybe if I get on with my year of sewing, next year I'll start knitting, you heard it here first!ReplyDelete
It's gorgeous! My grandmother tried a couple of times to teach me to knit, but I just don't get it.ReplyDelete
If you really overcome your fears I might pay you to make me one!
ok, must make that!ReplyDelete
Wow beautiful sweater! I too have made the commitment to face my knitting fear in 2011... actually swatching. I'm a big fan of circulars though, they're not useful for much other than blankets in my humble opinion, but to each their own!ReplyDelete
SWOON! Oh my gosh - extreme want!ReplyDelete
I'm just getting into knitting and I was definitely swearing at K1 P1 ribbing, I lost track so often, I think I should have a bald spot by now.ReplyDelete
Glad (and worried) to hear its a common threat in the knitting world.

Microsoft suffers stunning EU antitrust defeat
Stunning for Microsoft, perhaps, but not for those of us who've had a ringside seat to Microsoft's business practices over the last 20 years. Perhaps the Europeans have stiffer backbones and greater intestinal fortitude than their American counterparts. Perhaps the Europeans can lead by example the more timorous Americans. One can only hope.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, in an opinion piece on eWeek, posits that the ruling and fine won't do a damn thing to change the way Microsoft does business. And I'm afraid he's right.
The company has weathered a series of defeats in antitrust cases in the last decade and sees legal setbacks as almost part of its business model and a price for its near-monopoly.What a cynical point of view. Microsoft is in this position precisely because it has behaved as a predatory monopolistic business. They didn't just stumble into this, they deliberately planned to get here. Microsoft's business history is riddled with examples of market manipulation going all the way back to MSDOS. And they're "downbeat"? They need to be beat to a bloody pulp.
Microsoft has already moved to new battlegrounds such as seeking acceptance of its technical standards across the industry, while continuing to bundle new features into its new Vista desktop software.You bet they have. And the rest of the world, having already learned the hard way what happens when you fail to act in a timely fashion against Microsoft's aggressions, has successfully beaten them off, most recently in their attempt to have OOXML accepted as a standard. Here's hoping for a brighter IT future. Thank you Europe.

Originally implemented in 2007, the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulatory program that addresses security at high-risk chemical facilities. DHS evaluates security risk based on three criteria:
- Consequence – anticipated result of a successful attack on a facility
- Vulnerability – likelihood that an attack would be successful
- Threat – intent and capability of an adversary attacking the facility
DHS implements the CFATS program through a risk-tiering methodology for subject facilities. The CFATS program consists of first determining if a facility has chemicals of interest (COIs) that exceed the regulatory thresholds (applicability determination). If subject, the facility must prepare a Top-Screen Analysis (TSA), and potentially a Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA) and Site Security Plan (SSP). DHS has an Expedited Approval Program to streamline SVAs and SSPs for lower risk facilities and allows facilities to develop Alternative Security Programs (ASP) as long as they meet all the SSP requirements.
Trinity assists with CFATS compliance, from applicability determination through DHS Compliance Inspection. Trinity has valuable experience in each critical step of the CFATS program.
- Conducting Applicability Determinations
- Evaluating facility chemicals for CFATS applicability
- Preparing threshold calculations for chemicals of interest
- Preparing non-applicability determinations to document the facility's compliance status
- Evaluating alternatives to opt out of the CFATS reporting requirements
- Performing Top-Screen Analyses
- Preparing a TSA using DHS's Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT)
- Providing CSAT and Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) training guidance
- Ensuring reporting consistency with other safety and environmental programs (e.g., RMP, PSM, Tier II, Toxic Release Inventory, etc.), including CFATS implications for these other programs
- Preparing Security Vulnerability Assessments using CSAT
- Characterizing critical assets
- Assessing internal, external, and internally-assisted threats
- Identifying potential security vulnerabilities and existing countermeasures
- Assessing risk of an attack

Chocolate research
PHD Comics has a cute comic titled "Research Topics Guaranteed To Be Picked Up By the News Media." Any guess as to the first topic? Chocolate, of course! According to the comic, "Anything that validates the public's wishful thinking that chocolate is secretly good for you is news gold."

CHICAGO -- A Chicago-area mother who used to be against childhood vaccines had a change of heart following a real-life scare.
Kristen O'Meara wanted all parents to hear her story. She never had her three daughters vaccinated for fear of side effects. But after they all became so sick they might die, O'Meara said she knew what she had to do.
"I put my kids at risk. I wish that I had taken more time to research from both sides before my children were born," O'Meara said.
O'Meara, a teacher living outside of Chicago, said she was a big believer in anti-vaccination research.
"I scoured everything I could possibly find about why vaccines might be harmful. I became pretty convinced," O'Meara said.
She chose not to vaccinate her children. But then her 5-year-old and 3-year-old twins were stricken with a case of rotavirus. Kristen and her husband also got very sick. She was suddenly living with the scary repercussion of her choice.
"It was awful and it didn't have to happen because I could have had them vaccinated. I felt guilty. I felt really guilty," O'Meara said.
Although the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vaccinations for practically every child, the group said the number of parents refusing to vaccinate their children may be on the rise. In 2013, 87 percent of pediatricians surveyed had encountered parents who refused a vaccine, up from 75 percent in 2006.
The most common reasons for refusing to vaccinate? Some parents cited they believed vaccinations were unnecessary and they had concerns about autism - a link which has been repeatedly disproven.
O'Meara's children are now fully up to date on their vaccinations after an aggressive catch-up regimen. She encourages others to vaccinate their kids too.
"I'm here because I wanted to share my personal story. If it does help someone change their mind, then that's great," O'Meara said.
Doctors said the beginning of the school year is a good time for parents to check their children's vaccination records.

Our Time Is Up
If life's little unfairnesses have been getting you down this August, who you gonna call? Cities go quietly crazy in mid-summer, as legions of therapists take time off for sun, sea and sanity. Not Dr Leonard Stern however, whose smug, silent demeanour is shattered by a diagnosis of terminal illness. How will he use his last six weeks on earth? In Rob Pearlstein's Oscar-nominated, wry, and handsomely honed consulting-room comedy, his new prescription for the parade of anorexics, germ-phobics and chronic bum-fondlers on his couch is "brutal honesty". But will it be kill or cure when Dr Stern assures a playboy: "Secretly you want to sleep with your mother. But if you did, she'd be as dissatisfied as all your other conquests." A deliciously deadpan Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects) goes through Pearlstein's funny-sad dialogue like Prozac through a pity-party, in yet another small gem from Youtube's Screening Room. The doctor will see you now.
Love Sport: Ping Pong
What better tribute can we offer to our Olympic hosts this month than Grant Orchard's wonderfully inventive yet utterly minimalist bat-and-ball animation? Orchard's current shtick, now famous from his cinema-cult "Love Sport" series, is his exclusive use of a cast of expressively squeaky, primary-coloured Pac-man-style rectangles, who mix, meld and suffer hilariously in the service of their sport. Here, as ping-pong superpowers China and South Korea find themselves frustratingly evenly matched, some doughty pixillated players decide that many hands make light work.
Perfect to Begin
Struggling single mother Lisa and her small daughter Molly can't believe their luck when her dodgy but charming new boyfriend Nav whisks them off on a wet and windy caravan holiday. But when Molly disappears in the dunes, is Nav's careless cash bribery to blame? Tyneside director Richard Lawson's grittily atmospheric drama, replete with grey skies and greasy fry-ups, is heavy with a menace that threatens heartbreak for this mini-break. Sidestepping soapy melodrama, his slow, watchful camera gets under the skin of his characters, and skews our expectations with understated flair. If you love the work of Midlands miserablist Duane Hopkins, you'll find Lawson's social-realist seaside story as welcome as a thermos of tea on a breezy British beach.
Stephen King's N
What is it about August and psychiatrists? Horrormeister Stephen King's latest online experiment, an engrossing and gorgeously animated web series in which disbelieving therapist Johnny finds himself mired in patient N's obsessive fantasy life, comes at you in 25 daily chunks until August 29th. Niftily constructed so that each two-minute episode drags you deeper into the mystery of Ackerman's Field and its creepy "standing stones", famed graphic artist Alex Maleev (Daredevil) and colourist Josa Villarrubia make the panned-and-scanned frames crackle with shadowy tension, periodically erupting in jolting horrors. Available for embedding, and delivered daily to your mobile/iPod/toaster, this is truly 21st-century entertainment. And unlike the other "King" launched this month - The Secret World of Sam King, Bebo's sagging-with-sponsorship music biz web series - N never forgets that compelling storytelling is what brings us back repeatedly, not freebies, widgets, or wallpaper.
La Tartine
Cyber cinema can only stand so much TV coverage of plucky Britons gaining medals in the newly-discovered Olympic sport of Extreme Ironing before we must retreat gracefully to Futureshorts' Super Friday slot online, for a brace of fine, fresh films. They don't come any fresher than Guillaume Colomb and Olivier Derivier's delightful animated breakfast musical, a stop-motion treat of a tale. Rather like the enchanted objects in Beauty and the Beast, a singing tableful of crockery and food are determined to give the man of the house the best breakfast possible. But when the honey and the jam can't agree on who can get sticky with the blushing slice of bread, a warbling war breaks out. Sweet but not sickly, with its Jacques Demy-tasse of French chanson and ineptly capering cutlery, it's the ideal early morning pick-me-up.
Get Your War On: The Watch List
Cult US political cartoonist David Rees's mordant and edgy internet comic strip gets all up and at 'em, as its sly, rambling clip-art critique of Bush's war-on-everything America comes to life as a weekly series. Here his laid-back, riffing office workers Desktop Man and Pleated Trouser Man enliven Accounts Receivable by pondering the million names on America's terrorism watch list: "Do the real terrorists get pissed at sharing it with a mild-mannered podiatrist from Sioux Falls who's only on because he's got too many hyphens in his name?" And do you automatically get on the list just by discussing its very existence in a phone call? Though Get Your War On is animation at its most unabashedly basic, Rees's gabby, satirical little vignettes grab you with their topical barbs, and don't let go easily.
Despite knowing nothing about its maker or its meaning (rare in today's get-it-from-Google world) this arresting and discomfiting art film grabbed us like an undertow. Colombian director Juan Manuel Escobar prefaces it with German philospher Friedrich Schelling's definition of the uncanny: "Everything that ought to have remained hidden but has come to light." Then he rips open three nightmare portraits of human beings trapped in dire, dystopian tortures, and invests them with a strange, extreme beauty. A woman, roped and robed, swirls though an elaborate drowning splayed like a jellyfish, then is succeeded by a man roaring like a minotaur as he digs to free himself from a rusty prison of red dirt, while a suspended prisoner, mouth stretched into a wide-wired scream, scrabbles for the floor. Challenging rather than comfortable viewing admittedly, but utterly compelling nonetheless. Sometimes, in among the YouTube clamour of juggling cats and jiggling babes, you just hit gold.

Hebrews 3:13 - "But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin."
I turned on the television yesterday while we were at the hospital and I was amazed by the stories that were being reported on the news. Apparently a couple out of Arkansas won the lottery….twice within a week. One time they won 1 million dollars and the next time they won $50,000. The reporters were just amazed that someone could be so "lucky". I watched the story, actually I watched it twice because that is how the news is now, on a continual loop, and as I watched I couldn't help but think of the angle of the story that wasn't being reported, and that was the angle of greed.
They just won 1 million dollars gambling on the lottery, and then instead of being content, they went back and bought more tickets. That is the essence of greed, I need more more more…...It is what sin does to us. It tells us I can satisfy you, I can bring you pleasure and happiness, but in reality it always leaves us empty and wanting more.
After watching this news story I went downstairs to get something to eat and there in the Subway was a sign on the cookie holder: "just one won't hurt at all." Again that is what sin says isn't it? (I'm not suggesting cookies are sinful). This one time won't hurt or there's nothing wrong with that at all or its just once, no one is around no one will see you and we quickly give in to temptation and we find ourselves in sin.
When I left Subway I spotted a man with a shirt that had a cartoon character on the front and these words, "I may not be right but I'm never wrong." Huh? What? If you are not right you are wrong, right? What he was saying basically was "I'm always right." Again that is what sin does isn't it? It appeals to our sense of pride, you deserve this sin tell us. You aren't wrong, its ok. Do it and smile and go on.
Sin is as Hebrews 3:13 says, "deceptive." It tricks us into being greedy or into just one is ok or it appeals to our sense of pride. And all of a sudden we get to close to the trap and we fall in.
Sin is that deceptive. So deceptive that we must fight against it or we will end up in it. A theologian of old said, "either you are killing sin, or sin is killing you." We must fight against sin. Let me say it in another way IF we are going to be what God created us to be, redeemed us to be, and calls us to be we must fight against sin. The Bible says, "Be holy even as God is holy." God has created and redeemed us to be holy. He calls us to be holy on a daily basis. The only way that we can do that is to fight against sin. J.C. Ryle put it this way, "there can be no holiness without warfare." We've got to fight against our pride, our greed, our lust, our sin because if we don't we will fall into the trap of sin and we will be ensnared. Romans 8:13 calls us to "put to death the deeds of the body." That is more than just fighting against it, that is conquering it. That is putting it to death. If we kill sin then we are no longer captive to it.
Jesus said He come to "set the captives free." He comes to set those free who are held in captive to fear and to sin. He come to set us free and the only way that we can be set free is through the power of God in Jesus Christ. That is the good news of the Gospel.

This week has been full of many thoughts. I've been thinking about this post all week, really looking forward to it, and I've been planning what I would write about. Each day I came up with something new, something that I thought was an interesting topic to address. I think it's now that I finally understand when I have heard people say that coming up with a topic is not the hard part. In the end, what took me so long to actually write this post was choosing which topic I wanted to write about. Ah, but I am blabbering on and holding you back to the real meat of the matter, which is the entire point of this post anyway. So, without further ado, I give you my topic.
Friday, my school had a percussion concert and while I listened to the sounds that caressed my ears, I started to think about music and how it fuels my imaginings. I love going to symphonies and orchestras for a couple of reasons, mainly in that the music is so… sonorous, so beautiful, that being able to just sit and be enveloped by it is a great privilege. Over time, what I've found to be the best way to absorb the melodies that swirl around me is to close my eyes. The musicians before me, after all, are not being played so that they can be watched, but rather so that they can be heard. And when I close my eyes, I find that I can't help but to put a story to the music.
A sonorous beat will cause me to imagine the tromp of many soldiers as they file their way to the battlefield. A flute shows me a meadow blooming with spring flowers while pixies dance in the air. A violin, played quickly, exudes the sounds of a chase through the streets of a city as a thief desperately tries to escape his pursuers. I guess it is the writer in me. I cannot help but to create stories out of the smallest situations, and melodies beg to be created into a story.
I've started to take advantage of this when I am writing. I've created a youtube, as well as a pandora, playlist that plays orchestra and symphony music for me. Then, when I am having particular trouble coming up with a particular word, phrase, or even a scene (when I am writing for fun and not an assignment), I close my eyes and the music leads me to it. It is as if my mind has been taken in hand by my Muse and, as she flits before me just out of reach, she ends up leading me to exactly what I am looking for. Then, with a soft laugh and sparkling eyes, she shows me more that I could add on that I hadn't seen previously, something so wonderful and genius that it leaves me amazed at the wonder of it all.
So, in a way, orchestra and symphony music has become a form of my Muse, who refuses to be defined by such a paltry, human definition. I don't really mind, though. After all, aren't musicians and composers trying to tell us a story, in their own way? Why else would they name their works after fathers and lovers, sadness and happiness? I think that, by taking their creation and allowing it to tell me a story, I am simply taking the words they could not find and putting them down on paper. What else can I do, but humbly follow my Muse?

Wyoming Rig Count Stays Steady
HOUSTON (AP) — Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. this week declined by six to 842.
Houston-based Baker Hughes said Friday that 644 rigs were seeking oil and 198 explored for natural gas. A year ago, with oil prices about double the prices now, 1,931 rigs were active.
Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Utah each gained one rig.
Louisiana and North Dakota lost three rigs apiece, Pennsylvania declined by two and Kansas and Texas were down one each.
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wyoming all were unchanged.
The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.

Before I continue I do apologise for my hideous egg pun but I would warn you, they'll be poping up every now and again, and I'm not even yolking (ha!)
Eggs are AMAZING!
They're cheap, they're versatile and oh so yummy!
You can make anything, from scrambelled eggs to a glorious chocolate mousse!
Eggs are 'egg-celent' for providing you a cheap, yet healthy, alternative at breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time etc. Although this wasn't always with the case, with many people believing that eggs were actually quite bad for you! I should know, because whenever I made my 4th egg of the week, my Dad would tell me how bad it was for me to be eating so many eggs! Luckily, the British Health Foundation have come to our rescue and said "an egg a day is good for you" (2009). Although they may be good for us, I do still eat them in moderation!

Why the name "Lunch Break"? Because any and all blogging herein will be done on my lunch break. And because I couldn't think of anything better to name it.
This is a blog about Catholicism, culture, Dad-related stuff, and whatever else happens to be on my mind.
