We have some beautiful new yarn bowls in stock. These go quickly so scoop yours up soon
Only available in store.
Spring has sprung and we've been working on new store samples!
Sweet Peasy by Heidi Kirrmaier is a child-sized version of the original Peasy pattern – a simple cardigan with just enough lace to make it pretty and interesting. Like it's grown-up counterpart, Sweet Peasy is knit from the top-down making it very easy to customize in terms of sleeve and body length. We knit our version with one of Rowan's newest yarns – Softyak DK, an ultrasoft transeasonal blend of cotton and yak. Bonus: It's machine washable!
Shop Softyak DK in our online store.
Fionas Top by Sanne Bjerregaard is a versatile top/tunic/dress which would be a lovely addition to any little girl's wardrobe – just work it from the top down to desired length. We've knit this little top before in a combination of Koigu KPPPM and SweetGeorgia Yarns Cashluxe Fine but we thought a cotton version in springtime hues would be a bright addition to our collection of store samples. We used Sandnesgarn Mandarin Petit (100% Egyptian cotton), a soft, easy-to-knit, high quality yarn, perfect for baby, child, and adult warm-weather garments.

Hosenmatz by Mayumi Kaliciak and Antje Litzmann is a sweet pattern for relaxed baby pants in fingering weight yarn. The ribbing and structure through the derriere offer a lot of room to move and the designer notes that these will easily accommodate cloth as well as regular diapers. Knitted in the round from the top down the legs are ended with long cuffs that can be folded at first and then left open as baby grows to increase the lifespan of the garment. Clever.

Our first shipment of Skinny Singles from Hedgehog Fibres arrived a couple of weeks ago but we held off blogging until we could have it all photographed. Happily, we received the images from our photographer today and they have now been added to our website. We're loving this spectacularly vibrant and unique hand-dyed single-ply 100% merino yarn from Beata Jezek. It's squishy and soft, with just the right amount of twist. The colours shift beautifully from one to another and it is carefully dyed to prevent striping or pooling as much as possible. Skinny Singles create a variegated effect that looks great in plain stockinette or advanced stitch motifs. A brilliant choice for shawls and accessories.

Please note that we will be closed on Sunday, March 27th for Easter.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
Have you already decorated your eggs?
Why not wrap them with leftover yarn – a great stash-busting idea from fiberartsy.com :-)
Stephen West is a modern and innovative designer known for pushing the envelope when it comes to colour, texture, and construction. He is best known for his stunning shawl patterns and we at Espace Tricot have long been under his spell.
Stephen is also known for creating Mystery Knit Along projects that are always fun and creatively inspiring. Over the course of these knit alongs, new clues are sent out to participants on a weekly basis, providing the directions needed to complete the next part of the project. While diving into a project without knowing what the final outcome will look like is delightful for some, many prefer to wait until the full project is revealed before committing their time and precious yarn.
If you are one of these people, we invite you to join us as we host a "choose your own adventure" Stephen West Knit-Along in-store! Knit-alongs provide camaraderie and great incentive to keep you on track with your progress. Select any Stephen West shawl pattern you would like to knit and join us for a 4 week knit-along beginning April 12th.
On the first night we will share all of the Stephen West patterns we've knit and invite participants to do the same. This will help those who haven't decided on a pattern to select one and provide added inspiration to those who've decided on a shawl but haven't seen it in person. To save time, participants are also welcome to visit the store in advance to finalize their project selection and yarn choices so they're ready to hit the ground running on the first night. Once projects are chosen, our consultants will provide help in selecting yarn and getting everyone started. We will continue working on the projects throughout the month with consultants providing ongoing assistance with all of the techniques required for each project on a weekly basis. Participants are also invited to join our knitting clinics on Friday afternoons for additional help and trouble-shooting if desired.
Browse Stephen West shawl patterns on Ravelry.
Win a prize!
All participants who show us their completed shawl (either in person or via a photo e-mailed to the store) by May 17th (6-weeks from the knit-along start date) will have their name entered into a draw for a spectacular prize – 3 skeins of Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles yarn for your next project, hand-picked by the winner!
Dates: Tuesdays – April 12th, 19th, 26th and May 3
Time: 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Cost: $120.00

Lisa and I were introduced to these at Vogue Knitting Live in January and were instantly smitten by both their form and function. These lovely little cherry wood Needle Nooks provide safe haven for your double pointed needles when you're working on socks, hats, sweater sleeves, etc. In between knitting sessions, simply line up the needles, tuck them into the nook, and slide the magnetized 'door' into place – no more lost or broken DPNs!
Available in 6″ and 8″ lengths.

Lace needs to be blocked in order to really showcase the beautiful stitch repeats and open work…. Our favourite tool for this task is the Fiber Fantasy Long Flexible Blocker Kit! These 60″ long, flexible stainless steel wires thread easily through the edge stitches of your shawl (or just the points if you're knitting a decorative pointed edge), and use just a few pins to pin them to your blocking surface in the shape you need. If your garment is circular you can easily shape the wires and pin them down to the correct circumference. If you're blocking a triangular piece you can pin them along a straight edge, but you'll only have to use one wire to cover a whole side instead of using multiple straight wires end to end.
Each kit contains 3-60″ long stainless steel wires, 30 T-pins, and instructions.

Acrylic is skillfully hand-mixed to produce unique colors and patterns making each needle tip in the KNITTER'S PRIDE MARBLZ INTERCHANGEABLE DELUXE SET a work of art. Marblz are lightweight and smooth yet exceptionally strong and durable. The needles boast pointy tips, smooth joins, and a comfortable surface that provides just the right amount of 'grab' to allow for easy handling of slippery yarns.
Presented in an attractive black and white faux leather case with transparent vinyl which shows off the beauty of these needles, the set includes 9 pairs of Marblz interchangeable needles in sizes US 4 (3.5mm), US 5 (3.75mm), US 6 (4.0mm), US 7 (4.5mm), US 8 (5.0mm), US 9 (5.5mm), US 10 (6.0mm), US 10.5 (6.5mm), US 11 (8.0mm).
Set also includes 4 Cords (to make 24″, 40″ & 2 of 32″), 8 end caps, 4 cord keys, and 1 set of cord connectors.
A runaway favourite store sample among customers this winter has been the Seafaring Scarf by Purl Soho knit with Drops Cloud – a soft and squishy "blow yarn" made from baby alpaca and cozy merino wool. Instead of being spun, the fibres of alpaca and merino in this yarn are air blown into a tube making garments and accessories knit with it about 30-35% lighter than those of comparable thickness. A perfect choice for this plush, oversized scarf.
Click here to view additional photos and project details on Ravelry.
Pattern is available for free from Purl Soho and requires 6 balls of Drops Cloud to complete.
Shop Drops Cloud now in our online store.
We've only restocked black, off-white, and the two greys at this point as these are far and away the most popular choices for the scarf. The photos below are from the distributor and, unfortunately, are not perfect representations of the colours but, you get the idea. The sample above is shown in Pearl Grey.

This week brought new inventory of all Quince & Co. yarns carried in store! From cold-weather favourites like Osprey, Lark, and Owl to warm weather linens, Sparrow and Kestrel, we're all stocked up.
"Three-ply Chickadee is a well-rounded, bouncy, and elastic sport weight. Although smooth, tidy, and refined in the skein, it makes a fabric with even stitches, drape, softness, and a hint of halo to smooth things out. Use this yarn when you want etched textures, clean-cut cables, and crisp colorwork patterns. Try it in breezy cardigans when you want fluid drape or in cozy accessories that are comfortable next to your skin. Chickadee knits up on size US 3 to 7 needles [3.25 to 4.5mm], depending on what you're looking for. It's the perfect all around, sport weight yarn."
100% American Wool
181 yds [166 m] / 50g
6.5 sts /inch on size US 3 needles
6 sts / inch on size US 5 needles
Shop Chickadee and Chickadee Heathers in our online store.
"In little Tern, we've blended wool and silk for a smooth, defined fingering yarn. We love how the silk fibers lend drape and a slight sheen to knitted fabric. And we especially appreciate the faded colorways which result from the different ways that silk and wool absorb dye. Use Tern in socks; its silk component has great tensile strength and the wool therein contributes elasticity and warmth. Use the yarn in open, swingy cardigans; you won't believe the drape. Use it for mitts and hats and anything you want next to the skin. Tern is great year round; it's warm and pretty in winter, but light and flowing worked into a summer card."
75% American Wool, 25% Silk
221 yd [202 m] / 50g
9 sts /inch on size US 1 needles
7 sts / inch on size US 3 needles
Shop Tern in our online store.
"Lark is the perfect, classic worsted weight yarn. Its four plump plies are twisted just enough to ensure durability, without any loss of loft and drape. The yarn is round, soft, and well-balanced for smooth, even stitches. Lark's traditional plied structure shows off texture stitches and cables brilliantly. And it's great for well-defined colorwork patterns, too. Its subtle halo invites caresses. Beware. Lark is versatile: Knit it on size US 6 [4mm] needles for a windproof mitten and on size US 8's [5mm], or even 9's [5.5mm], for a drapey, open cardigan."

134 yds [123 m] / 50g

"Osprey is an Aran weight yarn made from three plies of superfine American merino. The plies are gently twisted together for a cushy yarn with good bounce. Osprey reigns in stockinette and garter; its relaxed plies round and fill out the stitches. And it's beautiful in texture and color patterns, making them bold and eye-catching. Osprey knits up handily on size US 10 and 10 ½ [6 and 6.5mm] needles into garments wooly and soft. It's perfect in pullovers and cozy cardigans, hats and mitts and anything you'd like to wear close to the skin."

"Owl is a pliant two-ply, woolen spun light worsted weight yarn – a blend of American wool and alpaca. Why woolen spun? Because alpaca is a hollow fiber and the best way to preserve its loft and buoyancy is to keep a lot of air in its structure. Squishy and plump, Owl knits up between 4 ½ to 5 stitches per inch, the perfect weight for just about everything. Because it blooms after washing, you can work Owl on US 8 and 9 needles [5 and 5.5mm]. The round plies bloom to fill in your stitches and create a relaxed and drapey fabric with lots of pretty halo."

"Sparrow is a plain little yarn, beautiful in its simplicity. Its clean, smooth hand is crisp as you knit it. But after washing and wearing it becomes handkerchief-soft and drapey. It's spun in Italy from organic linen grown in Belgium. Knit Sparrow on a variety of needle sizes— from size US 2 to size 6 [2.75 to 4mm] —depending on the drape and feel you want in your project. The yarn is a natural in lace patterns, carving out the yarn overs, but it's fluid, too, in simple stockinette. It's great in tanks, shawls, and breezy cardigans, and lovely as can be in bags, wash cloths, and other home accessories."

It knits up super quick on US 10 [6mm] needles. We love it in plain stockinette stitch and simple silhouettes—the better to show off its texture and drape.

The Champagne Cowl by Chandi Agee is as beautiful and elegant as it is functional. The reversible texture pattern is easy to memorize and the larger needle size (5.5 mm) with DK weight yarn creates a lovely, comfortable drape. It can be worn multiple ways making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe and a great transition piece as the weather moves from frigid to spring-like. Knit with solid or semi-solid yarn, this cowl will add sophistication to your outfit but if you're looking for something with a little more funk, why not try a variegated?
Easy and gorgeous.

I know, I know – Stripes. In-the-round. Again. There's just something so soothing to me about this combination. Antonia Shankland's Unicorn Stripes pattern has been on my project list since it was first released in September 2014. On the heels of finishing the Whirligig scarf, I was still in the mood for something purely meditative to balance the more challenging projects on (all) my other needles. With all 30 Madelinetosh Unicorn Tails carefully stashed for almost a year, the time has come. I cast on last night and I can whole-heartedly confirm that this is a dream if you're looking for a good project for TV and social knitting
If you'd like to see the scarf in person, come on in to the store – one of our consultants has just finished knitting our store sample. It's even more beautiful in person!
Purchase Unicorn Tails in our online store!
Note: Since publishing the original, Madelinetosh has replaced three of the colours called for in the pattern – Coquette has been replaced with Coquette-Deux, Purple Basil is replaced with Duchess, and Button Jar Blue is replaced with Glass Bottom Boat.

Whirligig is a light-hearted and whimsical scarf knit with alternating colours of Noro Taiyo yarn. Knit in the round as a long tube, "resting" yarns are carried up along the inside of the scarf so there are, miraculously, just a few ends to sew in at the end of all those stripes. The profusion of colour will soothe your eyes and brighten your mood on bleak winter days and the double-thickness fabric will keep you warm and toasty.
Please note, this is not an original pattern – various versions of tubular scarves abound on Ravelry. This is simply a summary of what we did to achieve this particular effect.

I missed posting a free pattern last Friday while I was on holiday so today you get two
I've committed to doing more colourwork this year and the lovely Siksak pattern by Hanna Leväniemi caught my eye on Ravelry this morning. The clean design satisfies my preference for minimalism while the doubled brim and slouchy style keep it casual and cozy. Designed to fit a medium to large adult head – hat circumference measures 50 cm (20 in).

I love the modern shape and simple but effective details of the Mohawk Wool Sweatshirt pattern from Classic Elite Yarns! The oversized, boxy silhouette is taken up a notch with unique ribbing, a side slit, and a faux-button detail down the back. As the designer notes, dressed up or down, this little gem can be worn with anything!

Back to topic. This one is from Beatles Lulz.
I don't know if I want one of these… action figures similar to actual people scare the hell out of me. Combing Paul's hair would be nice though…..
Edit: I wouldn't be surprised *at all* if in the 60s this toy was for sale…

I'm not sure I've ever seen that before. Anyone know when it was taken? It's clearly 1967, looks Magical Mystery Tour-time, judging by Paul's lack of moustache.

Sorry, I haven't been able to find anything. Paul was clean shaven for the Sgt. Pepper party too. I'd say it's pre MMT. Which one had a mustache first?*

Oral sex 'raises the risk of getting cancer by 22 times'
- Researchers believe oral sex is the main way HPV ends up in the mouth
- The virus affects the skin and moist membranes which line the body
- HPV causes changes in the cells it has infected which can lead to cancer
- 500,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with oral cancers every year
Oral sex dramatically increases the risk of throat cancer, a new study has found (file photo)
Oral sex dramatically increases the risk of head and neck cancers, a new study has claimed.
The disease has traditionally been considered to be one that affects smokers and heavy drinkers in later life.
But over recent years, as cases have been rising, it has been linked with the common human papillomavirus (HPV).
It is believed oral sex may be the main way HPV - more usually associated with cervical cancer - ends up in the mouth.
The group of viruses affect the skin and moist membranes which line the body, including the anus, cervix and mouth and throat.
HPV-16 is a well-known cause of oropharyngeal tumours - those which affect the middle part of the throat including the soft palate, the base of the tongue and the tonsils.
While HPV does not directly trigger cancer, it causes changes in the cells it has infected (for example, in the throat or cervix), and these cells can then become cancerous.
Men are twice as likely to get oropharyngeal cancer as women, according to NHS choices, because performing cunnilingus is more risky than fellatio.
It is the 11th most common cancer worldwide, according to World Health Organisation figures.
Worldwide almost half-a-million patients a year will be diagnosed with oral and oropharyngeal cancer.
More than two thirds of cases are diagnosed in advanced stages where the cancer has already spread to regional lymph nodes or beyond, the global oral cancer forum reports.
Approximately 150,000 patients die each year and many more suffer from the complications of treatment.
While girls in the UK aged 12-13 are offered a vaccination to help protect them against types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer, there is no immunisation programme for boys.
An official recommendation on whether to offer the HPV vaccine to all adolescent boys is expected in early 2017.
This new study, published in the journal JAMA Oncology, is the first to show conclusively that HPV-16's presence in the mouth leads to the development of oropharyngeal cancer.
This follows a study in The New England Journal of Medicine which showed that those infected with HPV were 32 times more likely to develop oral or throat cancers.
Oropharyngeal cancer is twice as common in men than in women, according to NHS Choices.
It is most common in heterosexual men in their 40s and 50s (compared to the rates in homosexual men).
This indicates that performing cunnilingus (oral sex on a woman) is more risky that performing fellatio (oral sex on a man).
The concentration of HPV in the thinner, moist skin of the vulva is much higher than the amounts of virus shed from the thicker, dry skin of the penis, and this affects how easy it is to pass the virus on.
Other research indicates that HPV can be present in semen and passed on at ejaculation.
And previous research published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found HPV now accounts for more head and neck cancers than tobacco or alcohol.
Spread by skin-to-skin contact, not just by sex, HPV affects almost everyone at some stage in their life.
In most people, the immune system fights it off and it does no harm.
But on rare occasions, the virus takes hold, leading to a chain of events that ends in cancer of the cervix, penis, anus, vagina or mouth.
Around 15 strains can cause cervical cancer - and HPV-16 is the most common.
The most dangerous HPV's, 16 and 18, which are transmitted through sexual contact are known to cause up to 95 per cent of cervical cancers.
Now these two HPV's are also being linked to oral cancer.
A different study done by Dr No-Hee Park, a leading expert in head and neck cancers at UCLA, showed that the mouth was, at the cellular level, structurally very similar to the vagina and cervix.
Both organs have the same type of epithelial cells that are the target of HPV 16 and HPV 18.
The majority of oral cancers are cancers of epithelial cells, primarily squamous cell carcinomas, not unlike the cancers that affect the cervix.
Dr Park's study also showed that smoking and drinking alcohol help promote HPV invasion.
Actor Michael Douglas (left with wife Catherine Zeta Jones), the star of Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction, was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer in 2013
Combine tobacco and alcohol with HPV, and the epithelial cells in the mouth, and you may have the formula for the development of an oral cancer.
The new research, carried out at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, suggested people carrying the virus in their mouth were an alarming 22 times more likely to develop a potentially lethal tumour.
The finding was based on almost 97,000 people who provided mouthwash samples and were cancer-free at the beginning of the project.
Mouth ulcers which do not heal within three weeks
Red or white patches in the mouth
A lump or thickening on the lip
A lump in the mouth or throat
Unusual bleeding or numbness in the mouth
Loose teeth for no apparent reason
Difficulty moving the jaw
Difficulty in swallowing
Speech problems
A lump in the neck.
Be aware that a hot, red, painful lump usually means an infection, rather than a cancer. Lumps that come and go are not usually due to cancer either. Cancer usually forms a lump that slowly gets bigger.
Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, added: 'Your dentist will check for signs of mouth cancer during your regular check-up so it's important to attend regularly to catch any signs you may miss yourself.'
They were followed for an average of four years, during which time a total of 132 cases of head and neck cancer were identified.
The study participants were compared with 396 healthy people who acted as controls.
Mouthwash samples were analysed for the presence of several types of oral HPVs in both groups.
These revealed people with HPV-16 in their mouthwash were 22 times more likely to develop oropharyngeal cancer (oropharynx is the part of the throat directly behind the mouth) than were those with no detectable trace of the virus HPV-16 in their samples.
In addition, the researchers found for the first time that the presence of other types of oral HPVs, known as beta and gamma, which are usually detected in the skin, were also associated with the development of head and neck cancers.
This indicated a broader role for HPVs in causing these cancers than has been recognised to date.
Dr Ilir Agalliu, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, said: 'This study shows using easily collected oral mouthwash samples may help in predicting people's risk for developing head and neck cancers.'
Cases of oral cancer have increased over the past 30 years.
Oropharyngeal cancer is the type that affected actor Michael Douglas.
In a June 2013, the Fatal Attraction star seemed to indicate his disease was brought on by human papillomavirus (HPV), contracted through cunnilingus.
His rep later denied that he was pinpointing the cause of his own cancer and merely stating one of the many causes of oral cancer, which include smoking and drinking.
However he beat the odds by recovering from a tumour categorised as stage 4, which often is terminal.
Commenting on the new study, Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said: 'HPV-related cancers have rapidly increased over the last few years.
Girls in the UK have been getting the HPV vaccination since 2008 while the latest research is certain to reignite calls for boys to be given it as well
'Early detection of mouth cancer dramatically improves the chances of survival from 50 to 90 per cent - so it's extremely important to be on the lookout for any signs and symptoms which could be related to the disease.'
He added: 'Be alert to mouth ulcers which do not heal within three weeks, red or white patches in the mouth and any unusual swellings or lumps in the head or neck area, and if you spot anything unusual to get examined straight away.
'Your dentist will check for signs of mouth cancer during your regular check-up so it is important that you visit your dentist regularly to catch any signs which you may miss yourself.'
Dr Jana Witt, Cancer Research UK's health information officer, said the work added to a growing body of evidence but said it was important to stress the risk was low.
'It's already established that the human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to some types of mouth and throat cancer and this research adds an important part to that evidence - showing that having an HPV infection leads to a higher risk of developing one of these cancers later on in life,' she said.
'But the study wasn't able to give a very accurate estimate for how much the risk of oropharyngeal cancer, which affects part of the throat, was increased and it's far from certain that the risk would be 22 times higher.
'Previous research has shown that oral sex can raise the risk of mouth and throat cancers because it can spread HPV, but it's important to remember that the chance of developing cancer if you have oral sex is still low.
'Not smoking, cutting down on alcohol and getting plenty of fruit and veg are all good ways to cut the risk of these cancers.'
What is HPV?
The human papilloma virus is the name given to a group of viruses that affect a person's skin as well as the membranes lining the body - for example, in the cervix, anus, mouth and throat.
HPV is very common and highly contagious.
More than three quarters of sexually active women acquiring it at some point in their lives.
And in the U.S. it is the most common sexually-transmitted infection.
Most people are oblivious to the fact they have been infected and as a result can pass it on to a partner without realising.
There are more than 100 types of HPV - around 40 of which affect the genital area.
The human papilloma virus is a group of more than 100 viruses that affect a person's skin, and membranes lining the cervix, anus, mouth and throat
What does HPV infection do?
The majority (nine in 10) of infections disappear of their own accord within two years.
But the other 10 per cent of infections can cause health problems, including:
- genital warts
- cervical cancer
- a type of head and neck cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, in the back of the throat including at the base of the tongue and tonsils in men and women
- anal cancer
- vulva and vaginal cancer
- penile cancer
The types of HPV that cause genital warts are different to those infections that cause cancer.
Other HPV infections can cause more minor problems, including common skin warts and verrucas.
How do people get HPV?
HPV is a sexually-transmitted infections.
In most cases a person will become infected after having vaginal and/or anal sex.
Men and women can also become infected through oral and other sex play.
In many cases a person will not realise they are infected, and can still have HPV years after coming into contact with an infected person.
In very rare cases a pregnant woman can pass HPV to her baby during delivery.
In these cases a child can develop recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), a rare condition where warts grow in the throat.
The HPV vaccine
A national vaccination programme for HPV is in place in the US and UK for girls aged 12 and 13.
Three injections are given within a 12-month period by a nurse.
The vaccine is given at a young age because it needs to be administered before a person comes into contact with HPV.
It has also been found to provide greater immune response in preteens, than it does in older teenagers and young women.
An official recommendation on whether to offer the HPV vaccine to all adolescent boys in the UK is expected in early 2017.
Clinical trials have showed the vaccines provide close to 100 per cent protection against precancers and for HPV4 - genital warts.
Since it was first recommended in 2006, there has been a 56 per cent reduction in HPV infections among teenage girls in the US.
Protection offered should be long-lasting, with trials showing the vaccine lasts in the body for at least 10 years.
HPV vaccination does not replace the need for regular cervical smear tests in women between the age of 25 and 65.

Thanks to the readers who responded! I know many of you already have your trees, but for those of us who've been procrastinating, (not mentioning any names here) here are some suggestions. Readers who provided their names are being credited!
For the past few years we've been going to the Christmas tree lot that's in the back corner of the OC fairgrounds parking lot. I don't know the name of it, but it's on the corner of Fairview and Arlington in Costa Mesa. We usually go for about a 6' Douglas fir tree and pay just under $30 for it. The way they've done it in the past is, one price for the Douglas fir and a slightly higher price for a Noble fir. I don't think size matters. Weather permitting...we're going Christmas tree shopping this weekend. We'll see what we end up with!!!
Cristine Winch
Fountain Valley
We are on a pretty strict budget as well. We went to Christmas Trees R Us (X'mas trees R Us) just north of the 17th Street and Tustin Avenue intersection. Our tree is beautiful, fresh and very healthy.
Good luck and enjoy the holiday season.
Stephanie Ochoa
My family and I have purchased our Christmas Tree the last 2 years from Costco at The District in Tustin and have been incredibly thrilled. We purchased our tree there again last night and we paid $44 for a 7-8 ft Noble Fir. The lot is a no fuss lot- the trees are not unwrapped, you simply look at the height and pick one. We opened our tree at home last night and it is stunning! Just like last year! We measured our tree and it is just shy of 9ft tall!! I certainly think $44 for a 9 ft Noble is a steal!

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have identified the six victims of the Jalan Ipoh shooting on Saturday as members of Gang 08, including a 38-year-old man by the name of S. Saravanan who was shot dead.
City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng said the five drive-by shooting survivors had attended Saravanan's funeral on Sunday.
"There were signs showing that the men were part of Gang 08.
"The case is still under investigation and we are in the midst of establishing possible motives behind the shooting," he said, adding that no arrests had been made thus far.
The six friends were having breakfast at a table outside a restaurant in Jalan Ipoh when they were confronted by a gunman at 4.20am on Saturday.
The man took out a gun and opened fire at Saravanan as well as directing six to seven other shots at his friends.
The suspect then fled the scene with an accomplice in a Perodua Myvi.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, Section 307 for attempted murder and Section 3 of the Firearms (Increased Penalties) Act 1971 for discharging a firearm with intent to cause death or hurt.

Yes, the EPA has relatively new regulations on lead-based paint hazards. But total home demolitions are specifically exempted from state and federal requirements on lead exposure. So are projects in which the homeowner is raising dust inside or outside his castle. "Many believe that children are poisoned by chewing on a windowsill or a paint chip," says homeowner Ariana Scipioni. "It only takes a fingertip's worth of lead dust to poison a child and the damage is permanent."

An elderly woman who was rescued from her burning home in Elm Grove on Sunday has succumbed to injuries she sustained in the fire, police said Thursday.
Barbara P. Gardner, 91, was in her home in the 14900 block of Watertown Plank Road on Sunday when the fire started. She called 911, and Elm Grove police and fire departments responded at 12:26 p.m. Firefighters rescued the woman from the first floor. Elm Grove EMS took her to Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. Once stabilized, she was transferred to the burn center at Columbia St. Mary's Hospital in Milwaukee.
That's where Gardner died from her injuries at 6:26 p.m. Wednesday while she was being treated, Elm Grove Police said in a news release Thursday.
"The exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and the investigation continues, with the assistance from personnel of the State Fire Marshal's Office," the release said.

Top 2 reasons to give game ads a try
With more than 50 games on their platform, with a premium video ad network attached, RockYou is in a unique position to know what is working in the in-game ad space. In Q4 2013, the hub averaged about 300 million video impressions per month, and today that fluctuates up to around 500M for 75M monthly players. Now their CEO is sharing her thoughts on why brands should try this niche marketplace.
Kristina: Why should brands consider game advertising?
Lisa Marino, CEO, RockYou: First is engagement. As an advertiser, one of your top challenges is getting people to actually pay attention to your content, let alone engage with it. But unlike watching TV or online video, you can't passively play a game. So what we find is gaming audiences are extraordinarily more engaged than those in other mediums. In fact, it's very common for players to opt-in to to see more ads in exchange for in-game rewards. That's just something you don't see a lot elsewhere.
The second big reason is reach. Gaming is one of the world's most popular mediums, often competitive in audience size to TV and film. In RockYou's specific case, for example, ComScore reports that we often have more US uniques than Hulu. The average American plays games 23 minutes a day--and obviously there are a lot of people who play much more than that. Facebook games alone have 250M players each month. That's huge.
In short, game advertising is a holy grail for brands that want an engaged audience at scale.
Kristina: What types of brands lend themselves best to in-game advertising?
Lisa: It can work really well for most consumer brands--and not just those catering to teen boys and young adults, which we typically associate with gaming. The gaming population is very diverse. In fact, 48 percent of gamers are women, and females 18 and older represent a significantly greater number of gamers than men 18 and younger.
At RockYou, many of our games actually lean toward moms and women because we do a lot of work on Facebook. So, we get a lot of brands in the consumer goods and entertainment space--Dawn, Huggies, Bravo and CW all advertise through RockYou. We also have games like Army Attack and Zombie Lane which appeal more to young male gamers, and can direct ads tailored to that demographic too.
More tips from Lisa and RockYou on Wednesday, including her top 3 tips to create more relevant, engaging in-game ads.

Bundaberg ships in extra molassesEliza Rogers, Monday September 23, 2013 - 11:31 EST
Bundaberg Molasses is shipping in extra supply from North Queensland to replenish local stocks and make sure customers like cattle producers don't run out.
The rural industry is stocking up on molasses, used as a cost-effective and nutritional stockfeed, particularly in dry times.
Flood damage at the Bundaberg port meant molasses had to be trucked rather than shipped out, and operators wound back production to save on high freight costs.
General manger of refinery operations and sales, Guy Basile, says extra molasses is shipped in every year, but the lower local supply has almost doubled the regular order to four shipments.
He says one of the main drivers is keeping up product to rural customers.
"Currently, the weather is dry out there and has been drying up. Currently, the market's been pretty stable. We haven't seen any big influx. That's most probably one of the reasons we're very keen to try to get four shipments down before next season, just to ensure there is supply there if it is needed."
Bundaberg cattle producer Paul Forman is glad the extra molasses is on its way ahead of what he's predicting to be a busy period.
He's getting ready to order his next batch of molasses licks to keep his cattle's health up through the dry weather.
"I think now is the time you will see a massive increase in people wanting molasses.
"I think it's one of the only things on the coast here that keeps your cattle cycling and keeps your cattle going, and probably the most cost-effective."
