Here's a short pre-game preview of today's game between UConn and South Florida:
Probable starters
6-1 jr. guard Shabazz Napier (16.8 pts. 4.2 rebs)
6-0 so. guard Ryan Boatright (16.1 pts, 4.7 assists)
6-5 fr. guard Omar Calhoun (10.8 pts, 3.2 rebs)
6-8 so. forward DeAndre Daniels (11.1 pts, 4.7 rebs)
6-9 jr. forward Tyler Olander (4.7 pts, 3.8 rebs)
South Florida:
6-1 so. guard Anthony Collins (9.4 pts, 7.0 assists)
6-5 fr. guard JaVontae Hawkins (5.0 pts)
6-7 fr. forward Zach LeDay (4.1 pts)
6-8 sr. forward Toarlyn Fitzpatrick (10.1 pts, 5.0 rebs)
6-9 jr. forward Victor Rudd (10.8 pts, 6.8 rebs)
-- South Florida is mired in a funk, dropping eight of its last nine games. Only Big East win came against Georgetown (61-58) on Jan. 19.
-- The Huskies have dominated series, owning a 9-1 edge. Only loss was on the road in 2010.
-- Boatright has been UConn's most consistent scorer, hitting double figures in a team-best 13 straight games.
-- UConn has the highest scorer trio in the Big East, as Boatright, Napier and Daniels average a combined 46.9 points per game.
-- The Huskies are 9-1 at home this season. The Bulls are 2-5 on the road.
-- Patience will be key for UConn today. South Florida will attempt to slow the game down.
"It's going to be a game where it's going to get down to the end of the shot clock and can we have the patient to stay in the possession," coach Kevin Ollie said. "And, hopefully, we can do that."
-- Top reserve: Guard Jawanza Poland (10.1 pts, 4.7 rebs)
-- Olander is way overdue for a break-out game. He has scored a total of 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the last four games.
"With Tyler, I expect him to get more rebounds, I expect him to hit more people," Ollie said. "That's what I'm going to demand and I know that's what he demands of himself. He's going to get better."

With OS X Mavericks, a new chapter in the iBooks story begins. Now you can launch the iBooks app on your Mac and the books you've already downloaded on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch will automatically appear in your library. And there are over 2 million more books in the iBooks Store, ready for you to download with just a few clicks.1 Reading books is intuitive and easy — turn pages with a swipe and zoom in on images with a pinch. If you're a student hitting the books, keep as many open as you like and search through them with ease. And when you take notes, highlight passages, or add a bookmark on your Mac, iCloud pushes them to all your devices automatically. iCloud even remembers which page you're on. So if you start reading on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you can pick up right where you left off on your Mac.2
Now you've got the whole world on your desktop. And at your fingertips like never before. Your bookmarks and recent searches are automatically pushed to all your iOS devices, so you can plan trips on your Mac and have all the locations easily at hand when you're on the road. Because it's a native app, you can use every pixel of your display to explore new destinations. Maps also takes full advantage of the graphics power of your Mac. So zooming is incredibly smooth and responsive, and you get gorgeous views such as Flyover, a photo-realistic, interactive 3D experience that lets you soar high above select cities.
Keep track of your busy schedule and share it with others using Calendar. Create separate calendars - one for home, another for school, a third for work, and so on. See all your calendars in a single window or choose to see only the calendars you want. Calendar also works with iCloud, Yahoo!, and Google. And when you use iCloud, every Calendar change you make on your Mac automatically appears on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. So no dinner dates are missed, no meeting goes unattended, and no anniversary is forgotten.
Safari in OS X Mavericks introduces a great way to see what's new and interesting on the web. Shared Links in the new Sidebar shows links posted by people you follow on Twitter and LinkedIn, so you can keep up with the latest and quickly retweet what you like. In addition, new power-saving technologies in OS X Mavericks mean you won't waste battery power on web pages you're not currently viewing or plug-in content you don't want to see. In fact, with Safari in OS X Mavericks you can now surf the web up to one hour longer than with other browsers.3 Learn more
Remembering your passwords can be a real pain. But now iCloud Keychain remembers them for you.2 It stores your website user names and passwords on the Mac and iOS devices you've approved, protects them with robust 256-bit AES encryption, and keeps them up to date on each device. And it automatically fills them in whenever you need them.8 It also works with credit card information, so checking out is a snap.
OS X Mavericks takes full advantage of every display connected to your Mac, giving you even more flexibility to work the way you want. There's no longer a primary or secondary display — now each has its own menu bar, and the Dock is available on whichever screen you're working on. You can run a full-screen app on one display and have multiple windows on another display, or run a full‑screen app independently on each display. You can even turn your HDTV into a fully functional second display using AirPlay and Apple TV.9
Notifications let you see what's up — and now they let you get things done, all without leaving the app you're in. With OS X Mavericks, you can interact with your notifications, so you can quickly reply to a message or reply to or delete an email. If you receive a FaceTime video call you don't have time to answer, simply reply with a message or set a callback reminder. In addition, you can now sign up with websites to get notifications about breaking news, sports scores, auction alerts, and more.
Finder Tabs help you declutter your desktop by consolidating multiple Finder windows into one. For example, you could keep a tab for All My Files, one for Homework, and one for AirDrop, all in a single Finder window. Each tab can have its own view — icon, list, column, or Cover Flow. To move a file from tab to tab, just drag and drop. And you can even expand a Finder window to full screen and effortlessly move files wherever you want.
With OS X Mavericks, your Mac is now even smarter. Energy-saving technologies help you get more out of your battery. And performance-boosting technology brings you more speed and responsiveness. It's power wielded wisely.
Take advantage of new technologies in OS X Mavericks to make your apps even more powerful and efficient. Download the OS X Mavericks Developer Tools today. Learn more

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a condition in which there are symptoms of intestinal blockage
without any physical blockage.
Primary intestinal pseudo-obstruction; Acute colonic ileus; Colonic pseudo-obstruction; Idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction; Ogilvie's syndrome; Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
In primary intestinal pseudo-obstruction, the small or large intestines lose their ability to contract and push food, stool, and air through the gastrointestinal tract.
The condition can occur suddenly (acute) or over time (chronic). It may occur at any age, but is most common in children and the elderly. Because the cause is unknown, it is also called idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (idiopathic means occurring without a known reason).
Risk factors include:
During a physical exam, the health care provider will usually see abdominal bloating.
Tests include:
In severe cases, surgery may be needed.
Most cases of acute pseudo-obstruction get better in a few days with treatment. In chronic forms of the disease, symptoms can return and worsen for many years.
Call your health care provider if you have persistent abdominal pain or other symptoms of this disorder.

The insurgents managed to negate the Marines' night-vision gear, and rendered their traditional close-combat tactics useless. Things got so bad, the 3/5's superior officers even suggested pulling their troops back. That didn't happen. Instead, the 3/5 went after the militants, hard. When the 3/5 came home, they told counterinsurgency historian Mark Moyar all about their deeply unconventional approach to what was already an unconventional war."This is an excerpt in Wired of Moyar's 74-page after action report.

Program Accreditation
The Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC)
It is important that programs leading to degrees and Teacher Education in grades PK-12 meet state and national standards of quality in academic learning and performance. To meet this goal, all Teacher Education programs in the state of Ohio must be approved by the Ohio Board of Regents and one of two national accrediting organizations: the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) or the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC). Case Western Reserve University has chosen TEAC to accredit its licensing programs in art and music. TEAC's primary role is to accredit undergraduate and graduate professional education programs in order to assure the public about the quality of the teacher licensing programs at CWRU.
The TEAC Standards
TEAC has three Quality Principles that guide each institution in seeking national accreditation.
Quality Principles
Quality Principle I: Evidence of student learning
Programs must provide sufficient evidence that candidates have learned and understood the teacher education curriculum. Each component and cross-cutting theme of QP I must contribute to the overall goal of producing competent, caring and qualified teachers.
• Subject matter learning
• Pedagogical knowledge
• Caring and teaching skill
Cross-cutting liberal arts education themes:
• Learning how to learn
• Multicultural perspectives
• Technology
Quality Principle II: Valid assessment of student learning
The program must employ multiple measures and assessment methods that converge on a dependable finding about the candidates' accomplishments with regard to QP I.
Quality Principle III: Institutional learning
There must be a system of inquiry, review and quality control in place through which the faculty secures evidence and informed opinion needed to improve program quality.
The Teacher Education Program at Case Western Reserve University makes four claims that are aligned with TEAC Quality Principle I and provides evidence of the success of the program in meeting these claims:
1. CWRU program completers understand the subject matter they intend to teach.
2. CWRU program completers understand pedagogy and child development, can successfully convert subject matter knowledge into effective lessons, and utilize appropriate formal and informal assessments.
3. CWRU program completers are caring and competent educators who are proactive in their professional responsibilities.
4. CWRU program completers are reflective practitioners who engage in opportunities to grow professionally and foster relationships with school colleagues, parents, and agencies in the larger community.
The teacher education unit at Case Western Reserve University is proud to announce that we are fully accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC).
With sincere appreciation, we thank our faculty, students, alumni, P-12 colleagues and friends for supporting and contributing to our programs in art and music education.
In addition to recognizing the outstanding quality of our programs and students, TEAC commended our distinctive, longstanding relationships with the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Trained Salvation Army counselors are being mobilized to head down to the tornado disaster area in Oklahoma to not only help with the victims, but the first responders, as well.These counselors are trained in Critical Incident Stress Management or CISM."People are more or less in shock and they don't know which way to turn, and it's just good to have somebody that you can talk to," said Emergency Disaster Services Director Chuck McDougall.Thankfully for most of us, sitting in front of a television set is about as close to a disaster area as we will get. But these counselors live it, and they believe it's their duty to help the victims and first responders."It's got to be in you to want to help people. It's hard to explain. I mean, I'm getting goose bumps now just thinking about just the small things that I've been to here because people come up and they've lost everything and so often they have this positive outlook still. I mean, they're standing in what used to be a house is now just a flat area, and yet they're just so very thankful that they came out of it alive," McDougall said.The teams of up to eight people will leave as early as Wednesday.The Salvation Army needs your help, but instead of collecting supplies, they need your money."I've gotten a lot of phone calls already where people want to do drives to collect water and collect this and that and the other to send down there, but that really, I'm afraid, doesn't help us that much in a situation like this. It sort of creates a disaster in a disaster," McDougall said."The best thing they can do, they can donate their money. They can call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or you can simply text the word "STORM" to 80888 and that will be an automatic $10 donation."

Love the ooga PJs!!
Love the ooga PJs!!
love the xmas ooga pjs!
Me&DH 9/15/2007 Santana 11/16/2008 Marisol 3/23/2010
Is that a set for a nb and bigger sibling? How cute would that action shot be!
Tthe gloves are easy and fast to make. Acutally it might help to do another project before you finish the longies if you're bored with them. Sometimes I'll start something else and just come back to the boring project later to break it up a little.
It is! I cant wait to see them in their pants. Im sending some fabric for her to make an applique shirt to go with.
Its not that Im bored with them really, but it seems anytime I sit and try to knit, someone bugs me. which isnt so bad when Im just knitting..but when I have to concentrate, it sucks! and anytime I leave it out in the living room, Nathan finds it and slips stitches. Its annoying! but I am on crotch shaping, and was going to work on it today but left it in the car..which DH has for work. See..everyone is against me
You ladies are all so talented!
Aww V I love the little pigs Christmas ornament!!

Love all the knitting! I am so jealous - my latest project has been languishing on the needles for months. She'll grow out of them before they're finished. I just never have the chance to knit. I miss it! I love the hat and the longies and the super cute jumpers!!!

The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission continues to hear from experts about school security and how the state responds to emergencies.
The focus of the 16-member commission was to review school safety, gun control laws and regulations and mental health issues after Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The members met at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford Friday.
Presenters from safety agencies showed how to plan for a number of hazards.
The commission is looking to come up with ways to prevent another mass shooting in our state including how to improve the first response.
Some of the items being considered by the commission include:

One of the biggest congressional debates over the past several months has been what to do about assault weapons. Attempts to legislate the problem away have failed to gain the necessary consensus and it looks a complete ban on those weapons just won't happen.
While Congress has failed to come up with a plan that might be acceptable to their partisan selves and the American public, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano may have come up with the ultimate solution. Rather than remove the weapons, DHS seems to be determined to eliminate access to ammunition. After all, what can go bang without a banger.

A new restriction in Troy has some hookah lounge owners saying their livelihoods could go up in smoke."The customers, they're thinking twice before they come in here," said Michael Tellow from Tarboosh Lounge.That's because when the clock makes it to midnight, you don't have to go home, but you do have to get out."The residents are complaining there's too much traffic," said City Council Member Wade Fleming."Do you see any houses around here or any other hookah lounge? I don't think so," Tellow said."There's been a fight probably here a couple times," said Sarmed Yousef from Mist Hookah Lounge."One of the lounges, there was a shooting in the parking lot," Fleming said."There was an incident where there were baseball bats involved and people were fighting with baseball bats, and that's just something we're not going to tolerate in Troy. Our police department's already stretched. We've got a reduced police force due to budget cuts and so forth, and they've got enough work to do without being called to hookah lounges."So the City Council voted and every single member marked the same word -- yes."To close it down at twelve o'clock," Yousef said.It's only been a few days and already we're told money has been going up in smoke."It hurts our business for sure," Tellow said."It's your weekends where you make your living, and our weekends are going down 60 to 70 percent. That's absolutely huge. We can't survive like that, and I know the other hookah lounges won't survive like that," Yousef said."I'm a businessman and several people on the City Council are business people, so we understand the need to be profitable. We also understand the need to be safe," Fleming said.With five hookah lounges landing in the City of Troy, more than a few feel they've been treated unfairly. Why punish everybody when only a couple bad apples are blowing it in the hookah lounge bunch? It's discrimination, some say."You feel like City Council wants you guys to just pack up and get out of town?" I asked Yousef."The way the ball's been rolled, it seems like that," he responded."It has nothing to do with the culture or discrimination. It's strictly control your business, control your patrons and you'll be rewarded, I believe, by this City Council and this city administration by allowing you to stay open later," Fleming said."Extend our hours till two. That's all we ask for," Yousef said.Fleming said in six months the council will review the restriction and check the police records to make sure everything is running smoothly. If that is so, they will consider letting the lounges stay open until 2:00 a.m.

Contract negotiations are holding up The Avengers franchise and it's sequel. If you think that a sequel won't happen because Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Scarlet Johansson want more money, you are crazy. The first Avengers movie made over a billion dollars and even if they were to lose one or two of the names above, there is enough of a fan base to make a sequel profitable. Of course, it depends on which names. Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansson are on my "if they leave, good riddance" list. Evans is very forgettable as Captain America and Johansson as Black Widow is even more so. In fact, I am hoping that Johansson walks away. Downey, Hemsworth and Ruffalo are must haves, in my opinion, and if the unthinkable happens and they lose Downey, it's lights out.
Reports are that Downey made between $50 and $70 million for The Avengers and you can bet the rest of the cast didn't come anywhere close to that figure. I get that they want more money and I hope they get that they won't be making Tony Stark cash, no matter how much they may want it. Downey is the leader of the pack.

Anything But A Border Collie
What happens when a dog is too good at something?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Anonymous | November 20 2009 | Permalink
So what kind of dog did win the championship?
Submitted by PangaeaPugs | November 20 2009 | Permalink
I have small dogs so I'm not competing against the BCs. But like you I think I would feel honored to compete against any amazing dog, regardless of breed.
However, I'd be happy if USDAA would lower the jump heights for small dogs. It's ridiculous to expect a pug to jump 16" in championship. And for a small dog with physical limitations the performance height of 12" is still too high.
Submitted by Julia Lane | November 21 2009 | Permalink
JoAnna, I feel your pain! I compete in USDAA with my two Dalmatians, a breed not commonly seen in any agility venue. Darby measures into the 26" class and always places when we're clean. Jolie, on the other hand, measures into the more competitive, BC-dominated 22" class. Despite often being faster than Darby or earning more points than her in Gamblers or Snooker, Jolie never places at the Masters level.
However, I take pride in showing my spots and proving that non-BC breeds can do well. My next challenge - showing my young mixed breed, Ginger Peach, in both USDAA and AKC, in those tough 22" and 20" classes, respectively. I like the idea of showing people that ANY dog can excel at this sport!
Submitted by Ella | November 22 2009 | Permalink
This is a tough subject and one that I am conflicted on as well. It's hard to say that a certain dog should be treated one way or another because of its breed. However, I would love to see a more diverse array of breeds competing at the 22" level in USDAA (and comparable height classes in the other venues). An ABC class would definitely promote this. However, I could understand how an owner of a competitive non-BC dog could take pride in beating their highly touted competitor. Perhaps it should be the owner's choice in competing in an ABC class. That way one can choose to continue to compete in the regular class with the BC's. No black and white answer for this one (no pun intended...)
Submitted by WFR | December 2 2009 | Permalink
We do noy exclude the best and brightest in the human world from competitions at which they excel. Why would we do that to canines? The Calgary Stampede has the World Stock Dog competition every year and the only stock dogs that have won are Border Collies but they do not exclude them. Let Border Collies compete and everyone else just needs to step up. That is what competition is all about.
Submitted by Rachel Simpson | December 8 2009 | Permalink
I think this says a lot about dogs being bred for a purpose rather than for the way they look. For years, border collies have been bred for their ability to herd, not for being black and white or for having cute tulip-shaped ears or for being a certain height. If breeders of other dog breeds payed more attention to what they want the dogs to do and how healthy and intelligent they are, rather then how their head is shaped, then maybe the other breeds would have a fighting chance!
Submitted by AMS | November 29 2011 | Permalink
I agree with you Rachel, but only to a point. It -does- say a lot about dogs bred for a purpose. Specifically -what- purpose that is. There are many breeds that are not bred for working with humans directly (Hounds, Terrier, some Working and NonSporting) and especially at a distance but who can still compete and have fun in Agility. A top performance bred Greyhound will never beat a top performance bred BC in Agility, a sport originally created by BC folks! The sport just doesn't play to their strengths.
It would be like me telling BC owners, if only they bred for working ability maybe their dogs could compete against the Hounds on the lure field. Not gonna happen. Different dogs, different jobs, different abilities. Doesn't stop us all from having fun together.

Kris Humphries is still wearing his Jazz sweats
November 8, 2011
I care about the Kardashians* as much as the next person (assuming the next person has never heard of them), but I got a kick out of this:
*Let this be the one and only time they are ever mentioned on this site.
These pics were taken yesterday/today as Kris was heading to the gym. He hasn't been a Jazzman since 2006, but kept his old Jazz sweats all these years for sentimental reasons I'm sure. One more pic here.
C's take: Poor Jazz. Tainted by association.

On wool
Last winter, it became clear that I would not be able to continue my half marathon training without warmer clothing. Specifically, I needed better coverings for my head and hands. I walked into the local outdoor gear shop looking for the appropriate accessories. Now, some of you will point out the contradiction of a knitter buying synthetic mittens. This point was not lost on me; I felt appropriately ashamed but cold, nevertheless. Actually, I had decided my enemy was not cold, it was wind. Not only that, but who wants to knit mittens to cover sweaty hands during a long run? Not I.
So there I stood, talking to a salesman about the accessories to buy. He showed me some brand name, very expensive hats to block the wind. Neoprene, polypropylene, wind-block fleece, all materials designed to keep you warm. When I said I needed something specifically for a long run-a run lasting about two hours-he quickly abandoned the hats he'd shown me, instead turning to a different line. The answer, he said, was wool. Specifically, a $50 wool hat whose materials had been specially engineered to keep one warm in the cold and provide enough ventilation to prevent overheating. What did he mean by specially engineered materials, I asked. Isn't that just what wool does? Generations of sheep represent the only technological innovators on this front, as far as I was concerned.
I'm not saying there is no room for technical fabrics. After all, I would never be able to run through the winter without fleece-lined, polypropylene tights. However, it is clear to me that no amount of human engineering can compete with thousands of years of selective pressure on sheep to produce the most effective insulation from the cold.
I need not tell you how I made it through the rest of the winter, of course. I am cheap and unabashedly so. I dug out an old wool hat I knitted years ago and stole the tufted mittens I knit for Aaron. To my amazement, 5 a.m. runs in -15 degree weather were no big deal. Actually, to be completely honest, the 5 a.m. part was still a big deal but the bitter cold was not.
I've been considering this experience lately, as it comes time to find Beatrix some warm winter clothes. I decided to design a heavy wool jacket for her as a cheap alternative to a winter coat. In fact, I find some of my heaviest wool sweaters far warmer than my biggest parka. Although my sense of parental guilt will likely drive me to the store this winter to buy her a coat she'll quickly outgrow, I hope this heavy sweater lasts her two winters.
Last week, I sent the pattern to a handful of test knitters. Hopefully, I will be able to offer it to you soon!
In the meantime, I have some stealth mittens under way at the moment. I will certainly share them with you next week when they have met their intended recipient. Until then, I'll leave you with the beginnings of Bryant's Slipover vest (Ravelry link), a project I'm knitting for my cousin Ida. I promised to knit this last year but I found myself sidetracked by other things. Since I will be seeing Ida in Boston next week, I decided to finish it so I could leave it with her! Wish me luck on that one, the gauge is 7.5 sts/in and I've not yet reached the waist.

You should be fine time-wise on the Bryant's Slipover. It knits up fast — or at least it did for me — because the pattern is so easy to memorize. I think I finished all the knitting parts in less than two weeks. The seaming/end-weaving, however, are a different story, but I'm a horrible procrastinator when it comes to seaming…
Here's the link to mine on Ravelry:
Good luck!
The eyes on that child! She is just beautiful!!
Oh, and the sweater ain't bad, either, lol. I'll be watching for that pattern, it looks very warm.
Sheep. Always in style.
Quick, quick, quick on releasing that pattern. Its pretty much what I've been looking to make for my 4 year old. Hope the pattern is sized up to that. Can't wait.
The patterned jacket does look very nice indeed. I cant wait for it to be released either. She is a very pretty model too.
Love that cabled sweater – might have to figure out how to make it adult sized once you get a pattern up!
Beautiful sweater! I can't wait to see the pattern!
Yeah, the hat I bought for running (before I knit) was fleece-lined wool. It was soft on my forehead and also warm.
The vest looks really great! I love that color combo.
Hmmm, does your cousin have any affiliation with BC per chance?
Beatrix already has that soulful, reflective Rowan model look — now that's precocious.
Her coat looks absolutely cozy and lovely. I like the long folded sleeves too. Clever and stylish.
Why buy when you can make. It's not cheap, it's unique and individual.
Here in the UK you can buy merino exercise-wear from Howies:
In fact it is Zque-accredited merino so it has a fully traceable supply chain. Good stuff for running, cycling etc
my love for wool happened when i was white water rafting in maine the first weekend in may. there was still snow on the ground in spots and the day we went it was gray and drizzly. anyway, over my wetsuit i wore a wool sweater and wool mittens and even soaking wet, my hands stayed warm. special engineering indeed.
and you know you'll have to design that sweater for big people. so cute.
I find if a wool hat is knit dense enough (or double knit) it is warmer than polarfleece any day! I also want to eventually line a wool hat with polarfleece – the best of both worlds I think! Ideal for walking the dogs at 5am during the winter!
Can't beat the woolly warmth.
I heart wool. I am also thinking that I well try training for a half-marathon when I am allowed to do so after progeny 2.0 joins the fray. Maybe the prospect of cute running gearing knit for myself will get me excited about the running. I need to eat less pie.
Ahh…the technology of sheep. :)
That sweater is such a cute pattern! Can't wait to see it. Love the pretty pretty vest too!
Adorable warm wooly winter sweater-coat – they can't make those store coats as cute as that – no way!!
I feel bad that I haven't done an honest to goodness long run in months. Now it is getting chilly again, and I don't want to have a poor showing in next year's half marathon. Time for a wool hat and mittens and a kick in the pants to get out the door early enough!
Alan and I had a conversation the other day about his love for this expensive hat of his. It's just a skullie that's made out of wool. He won't fess up how much he paid for it, but it was too much and he got it from some camping store. Silly. I'm with you – I'm so cheap when it comes to running gear in general. I've been running in the same stuff for like three or four years now. If it works, and it doesn't give you blisters, why mess with it?
That sweater is gorgeous. Looking forward to the pattern. Your baby girl is getting SO big!
I. love. that. jacket. Wow, it's great. I'll definitely be purchasing the pattern from you!
I have all kinds of purchased winter gear for myself. One day I'll knit me a nice hat, if I can ever get around to it. (I love making mittens, but not so much wearing them.)
The heavy wool jacket was beautiful! But please do tell me, how did your MCATs go? You have received the results, haven't you? (I am a medical student -first year- in Finland and have two kids of my own, therefore am curious to know how others manage this studying thing with children.) If you want to, please do send some e-mail. :-)
The sweater jacket is gorgeous! I love the detail in the different stitches! very gender neutral too!
So glad to find your blog! Your patterns are smart and stylish and your photos are fabulous. The family is pretty handsome, too.
i love that little sweater. and the child is cute too.

Symposium on strategic issues for Australian World Heritage
The Australian Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ACIUCN) is organizing a Symposium 9th-10th August 2012 in North Queensland to convene experts from across government, academic and NGO sectors to discuss strategic issues for World Heritage in Australia. It will be the third in ACIUCN's successful 'Science informing Policy' Symposium Series.
In this 40th year of the Convention, it is timely to celebrate what has been achieved, remember the true meaning of World Heritage status and look at both current and emerging challenges to World Heritage preservation.
This is a major event which will gather World Heritage experts and mark the 40th year of this Convention, which has been so prominent in Australia's environmental history.
The Symposium will be held in partnership with the Wet Tropics Management Authority, the Australian Conservation Foundation and other partners related to Australia's natural and natural/cultural sites.
The Symposium will take place over two full days In Cairns where two World Heritage sites meet – the Wet Tropics of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef.

Is capitalism sustainable?
Bono stated in his TED2013 talk that the numbers show that we can eradicate all poverty worldwide by 2030. While I really hope that is true, it begs the question: Is capitalism sustainable? Is it possible to have a rich and middle class without a poor class? The sad reality of capitalism is that if there is an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, there has to be an exponentially long tail of much poorer people who are each contributing to that wealth. Not that we necessarily need an exponentially small number of people with exponentially large wealth, but would the world keep running without capitalistic incentives that increase the separation between rich and poor? Can we eradicate all poverty without the rich sharing their riches? What happens to civilization when nobody is willing to work in the factories and orchards, or build roads?
(Please don't take this question the wrong way! Personally I wish that nobody had to work menial jobs. I just don't understand how we can eradicate poverty when so many jobs will always translate into low-paid labor.)
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Lawren Jones 30+Feb 27 2013: Your post is full of so many false logic misconceptions regarding capitalism I hardly know where to begin. The aim of capitalism is to create wealth for all.
If you understand nothing else at all you must, simply must understand capitalism tends to create wealth where none existed before. It does NOT take a finite amount of wealth and hoard it in the hands of a few. If done correctly, capitalism can create wealth for everyone, without taking away from anyone. It is simply not true in any sense that poor people are a necessary outcome of capitalism, and to believe so exhibits a disappointing lack of economic understanding.
Feb 27 2013: Then why are there so many poor? Why are there children that starve under capitalism as it is? Why do people go ballistic when the poor ask for more? The more fair something is the more likely the public deems it socialism and it's shunned. Just look at all the negative press when the president proposed a hike in minimum wage... Capitalism is made for the competitive. If your demeanor isn't aggressive enough to win over your boss or investors to make more of your life then you're screwed.
Lawren Jones 30+Feb 27 2013: Well then I must remind you that the standard of living under capitalism is higher now than at any time in human history. And there are certainly fewer poor under capitalism than exists under socialism. That the poor still exist at all under capitalism indicates that we haven't perfected capitalism yet, but you cannot give us an example of anything that has ever worked better.
Feb 27 2013: Perfection is irrelevant. Nothing the human species has ever made has been perfect. I never said socialism was perfection. Your definition of a higher standard of living is very biased. Having more things doesn't necessarily mean you're living better. Hooray little johnny has a smartphone because his parents don't want him to be teased and bullied at school for looking poor. Hooray little Johnny doesn't eat dinner for the rest of the week. The question on the table is if capitalism is sustainable. I need only to point at America's economy to show that it isn't. We're not number 1 economically. We're not number 1 in education. We're not number 1 medically. The list goes on.
Basically the poor are very affected if wallstreet doesn't make a lot of money, but not really affected at all if wallstreet rakes in the cash. While the rich are praised for their achievements the poor stand by and watch.. hungry. The only difference is that they don't wear a crown and there are more than one in a nation.
Feb 27 2013: Your statement is irrelevant to the initial question, Jones. HA YOU CAN'T THINK OF SOMETHING BETTER THAN CAPITALISM doesn't have anything to do with its sustainability. I never claimed there was or is a better system, but that's why we're discussing things on TED. Aren't we supposed to be the thinkers who get the world out of the disgraceful state it's in?
Feb 27 2013: Now I'm afraid you're changing your argument, William. None of your previous statements, nor mine, had anything to do with sustainability, because I began by criticizing Mr Huchinson's basic premise. Now that you've seemingly abandoned your debate with me, now you change your focus to sustainability, to draw attention away from your lack of cogent response.
It's easy to naysay, William, and point out the weaknesses of any idea while failing to offer a better. The fact remains that the world is in a less disgraceful state under capitalism than anything else that's been tried or suggested. Whatever failings of the modern society you're ashamed of, they can most likely be solved with more and freer capitalism.
Feb 27 2013: "The fact remains that the world is in a less disgraceful state under capitalism than anything else that's been tried or suggested." Now you're lying to yourself. Capitalism has left us with failing infrastructure; extreme environmental damage, mostly to save corporations' money; and an increase in health hazards, mostly to make corporations' money. Just because there isn't yet a solution doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
My answers have always been about sustainability.
In my first post I brought to light the flaws of the capitalistic system. An analogy of how flaws eventually lead to catastrophic failure (as in not sustainable) is by looking at the effect of square windows on an internally pressurized airplane. The flaw, square windows (economically represented as capitalism), leads to micro cracks on the windows edges that spread every time you go up and down, apply this to our economy which goes up and down (the micro cracks being poverty spreading through the population). Now one day after the micro cracks have added up to a certain point plane goes up and the pressure is released all at once and it won't fly ever again (the economy has crashed) again..not sustainable
You responded by comparing socialism and capitalism, the comparison of which had nothing to do with what I posted. The only thing I said about socialism was that proposed solutions to poverty that bring everyone closer to equality are mostly seen in the public eye as socialistic. You also said that I "cannot give an example of anything that has ever worked better." I did not contend this simply because I'm not looking at history. I'm looking forward, as in, what system WILL work (not has worked) better?
I responded by giving you more examples of my point that there are major flaws backing up how it isn't sustainable.
To which you replied
"Still waiting for you to name a system that has done better for the poor than capitalism, Roland." You obviously didn't get that I've been talking
Feb 27 2013: continued: about sustainability of capitalism the whole time nor did you get that I'm looking for what will work better.
Capitalism isn't sustainable and leads to hording of money.
If capitalism doesn't lead to hoarding of wealth then tell me why we have laws preventing monopolies or maybe why we have laws that prevent communication between members of an oligopoly.
Feb 27 2013: You state, Lawren, that "The aim of capitalism is to create wealth for all." But if everybody is wealthy, in a real sense nobody is wealthy. Take a population and increase everybody's income 10x, and inflation will reduce the value of the dollar by a factor of 10 quite quickly, so that everybody is right back where they started. And yet, create a society where everybody has the same level of wealth, and nobody will want to do the menial jobs unless you force them to.
Feb 27 2013: You're confusing the amount of wealth with the amount of money, Luke. Certainly, if you increase the amount of everyone's money by 10x, it will all be worth 10x less. However, a productive, capitalist society can create new wealth for everyone, increasing everyone's quality of life by 10x without decreasing anything.
Feb 27 2013: Money is simply a proxy for wealth. If you are defining wealth as something like quality of life (and if not, please define it), I agree you can increase everybody's quality of life across an entire country, that is precisely what has happened in developed countries, and what is happening in developing countries. And yet there is still poverty in the USA or Europe. Nevertheless, wherever there is a significant disparity in money owned by individuals, there will be a significant difference in wealth, however you define it.
Feb 27 2013: I agree that a disparity in money is a disparity in wealth. But you original premise was that wealth (i.e. quality of life) cannot exist for some unless it's at the expense of others. Now you seemingly argue the contrary.
If indeed you can increase everybody's quality of life across an entire country, how is capitalism not sustainable?
Feb 27 2013: I think you made the assumption from the start that I was talking about the difference between the developing and developed world. If you read my question more closely, you'll see that it's much more focused on the fact that we can't even eliminate wealth disparity within the developed world (implying that therefore promises of eliminating poverty on a global scale are probably over-ambitious). Someone will always need to clean bathrooms and build roads in the developed world, but I doubt you would ever call those people "wealthy" within developed society. A laborer in the developed world would only be considered wealthy if you were to compare them to someone in the developing world.
Random Chance 30+Feb 27 2013: Capitalism is capitalizing on what others don't know.
It is capitalizing on others misfortunes and problems,
gaining while they lose, thus increasing the gap between those with and those without.
This adds power to those with and they use it to their advantage to not only maintain their
position but to increase the distance between those below them.
Capitalism has needs to survive. Here are seven:
Greed, crime, inequality, poverty, slavery, war and death.

Hello, everyone
Dani here to another fun exchange. Since we are having a lot of stuff about birthday in our community I chose A Moment in Life because birthdays are precious moments in life and we don't get overwhelmed by cupcakes and candles.
Here are the previews of the kit and coordinated packs. They are all 25% off.
Here is my gift to all the participants. 3 Brag Book QPs and 3 coordinated papers.
Guidelines: UPLOADING GUIDELINES HAVE CHANGED SO PLEASE READ
* Each participant will submit at least 1, 4X6 brag book page but not more than 3 using this kit only (but you may include any commercial use supplies as well). Please put all of your pages on 1 preview page to upload to the gallery to prevent any non-participants from using these pages.
* Sign-ups are requested for this so that we know who is working on pages. Post here to say you are planning on participating.
* Layouts should be created and saved at 4" x 6" and 300ppi starting with a transparent background. Your photo areas should be transparent when you are done.
* If you are not familiar with the process of creating a quick page, we have a couple of tutorials to help you in this area: Paint Shop Pro & Photoshop
* If you are unable to create a .png file, please design your quick page by creating your layout and using a white or black area (whichever is of most contrast to your layout) for the photo placements. Save your layout as a flattened .jpg file at full resolution (unless you are submitting a png file already). Please share this file and then post in this thread that you need help poking the holes for the pictures and I will help do those for you.
* Please name your files as follows to help me track these easier. YourForumName_KitName_bb1.png so as an example, mine would be scrappintwins_merrymerry_bb1.png.
* Post your preview of your bb pages all on one layout at 600x600 and upload it to the Brag Book Exchange Gallery for everyone to see!
* I will need the .png or .jpg file at the full 4X6 size for each brag book page you submit. Please do not upload the preview to the QP folder below...just the png quick page files.
****NEW***: In an effort to get you the albums much quicker after the exchange is over, we're implementing a new way for us to share the files.
* Please upload JUST THE FULL PNG FILES to the A Moment in Life Exchange folder.
* Toward the bottom of the screen you will see an "Upload Files" small window. Click the browse button inside there and navigate to your PNG files and choose that to upload.
* Your computer will then upload the file so it may take a minute or two. After the upload is completed, you will not see anything in this folder or even see anything to tell you it was successful but I'll let you know if there's a problem.
* Please post here that you uploaded so I can make sure it came through OK.
* Once the exchange is over, I will figure out who hasn't uploaded or has a problem with their files and when all is good will make it so that you can see all the files that everyone uploads and then you can download them!
* The submission deadline for this round is end of the day on September, 20th 2009. Please have your images posted and uploaded by then so I can get them out to everyone.

Hello again, my friends!
I am so happy to be back at Moda Bake Shop and presenting you with Blueberry Chocolate Squares! Mmmm...everyone loves chocolate, right? :)
This quilt is really simple and it goes together so fast. I actually pieced AND quilted it in 3 days!!(Results may vary. I've always wanted to say that...lol)
Once you're finished here, I'd love for you to come visit me over at Freckled Whimsy! More dorkiness guaranteed. :D
Also, Leah over at Burgundy Buttons is kitting this up, just for you and at a reduced price!!! Click HERE to snag one up before they are gone! She also has the backing on sale HERE! Thanks Leah!!!
Enjoy...Blueberry Chocolate Squares....
- 1 Pure Layer cake
- 1/2 yard for 1" border (I used 5431-12)
- 1 1/4 yards for 4" border (I used 5438-18)
- 1/2 yard for binding (I used 5436 16)
- 4 yards for backing (I used 5430-21)
From your layer cake, choose 36 squares. The more contrasting they are, the better.
For each of the 36 pieces, follow these cutting steps.
1. Cut a 5 7/8" strip from layer cake piece
2. Turn that SAME piece 90 degrees and cut it at 5 7/8". You should now have a 5 7/8" square.
3. As you cut each piece, put them in 3 separate piles. You may want to keep lights and darks separate.
You should have 36 each of:
- 5 7/8" squares
- 4 1/8" x 5 7/8" rectangles
- 4 1/8" x 10" rectangles
Begin by taking the 5 7/8" squares and pairing them up. Choose contrasting colors. You need 18 pairs. (Remember if you cut all your layer cake pieces, you may have extras here. Just put those in your scrap bin.)
Each HST will be paired up with the other rectangles you cut from the layer cake. One in each size in the SAME print.
Choose a HST and the border print. Contrast is good here too.
Take the smaller rectangle and sew it to the top of the HST. Make sure the edges are lined up on the LEFT side. Sew across the top edge. You will have some overhang on the right. This is ok. Just leave it for now. :)
Press toward the piece you just sewed on.
Make sure you mix up the positioning of your HST. Example: In the photo below, the light color fabric is in the upper right corner. Change this up using some lights, some mediums, and some darks, in each of your blocks.
Press to the rectangle.
First, trim the overhang on the right side, lining up your ruler with the edge of the HST. Cut.
Line up the LEFT and BOTTOM edge of the block with the 8 1/2" marks on your ruler.
Trim the right side and top.
Note: To make this go faster, stack up your HST and chosen rectangles, one on top of each other, still in 3 piles, until you have all 36 stacked. Then you can chain piece, starting by sewing on all the smaller rectangles to the HST, press, then adding the larger rectangles, press.
Time to arrange your blocks.
Choose 4 of your quarter blocks. Arrange them so the HST are in the center.
Sew the bottom two blocks together, pressing to the opposite side as the top.
Arrange in a pleasing order and sew the blocks as a 3 x 3 grid.
From the second border fabric, cut 4 1/2" strips and sew in place.
Now you are ready to sandwich your quilt, baste, quilt, and bind. :)
This quilt will measure about 58" x 58". Isn't it cute? :D
I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial! If you make this quilt, please oh please share it with me? You can email a photo of it to me HERE or you can add it to my Flickr Group HERE. I would love to feature them on my blog! :)
Much Love and Happy Quilting!!
