WIP Review
Do you ever have trouble finding an on-the-go project? A purse project? A mindless project? I struggle with this. As far as I'm concerned, all projects start out as purse projects but then get too big, too complicated or too fiddly. While I would love to devote myself only to big, complicated projects, life intervenes. It seems that I'm rarely just knitting. I'm watching Beatrix, reading, studying, waiting at an office or sitting in the car and knitting. As a result, I have too many WIPs that have been cast aside because they require too much attention.
Let me show you a few. First up, the second Drunken Bee sock. The first was so beautifully knit by Stella, who must think I'm such an idiot for not yet having finished a second sock. I have knit and reknit this one too many times. It's a good thing I'll only be knitting one! My mistake was to assume I could knit this on the go. Halfway down the leg, I still haven't memorized the chart. I cannot wait to turn the heel, if only for the reward of stockinette sole stitches! In spite of everything, it really is beautiful, isn't it? It's just the perfect pattern/yarn combination. That's really what drives me to finish it!
Next up, a cabled cardigan for Beatrix. I'm making this up as I go. I've finished the front and back but before I cast on for the sleeves, I have to track the kid down to measure her arms. It would appear that I forgot to do this when I planned the body. That means I also have to do some math to make sure the sleeve cap fits. Partly because I don't want to knit the sleeves and partly because I think it looks adorable without them, I wish I had made this a vest instead of a cardigan. I will definitely be making a baby vest in the near future. Besides, everyone knows toddlers hate sleeves, right?
Speaking of baby knitting, I feel I ought to include some photos of a couple of unblogged projects: diaper soakers. *yawn* I know this doesn't interest most of you – wool soakers certainly do not interest me but sadly, they are the most frequently used hand knit items in my house. Skip to the end for pretty fair isle pictures!
Yarn: more of that awful Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted
Pattern: Ottobre Design's wool soaker pattern, size large
Yarn: Classic Elite Skye Tweed
Pattern: Picky Pants, longies version with short rows
And now, the WIP that cannot pretend to be a purse project: my Ivy League Vest.
I started the ribbing on US 2s like the pattern suggests but it was way, way, way too small. I wish I'd swatched the ribbing and not just the chart. I sought Glenna's advice because she's nearly done with her ILV. She said rip. I ripped. I started over on US 4s for the ribbing.
Pattern: from Interweave Knits Holiday 2007 by Eunny Jang
Yarn: Harrisville New England Shetland in Sandalwood, Oatmeal, White, Wedgwood, and Midnight Blue.
I replaced Woodsmoke (teal) and Loden (dark green) with the light and dark blues. While I like the overall effect of the suggested colors, I dislike teal so much that I knew I would hate knitting the vest. I also cut out Pearl (gray) and decided to use extra Oatmeal to fill in for Pearl because I'm cheap and I didn't think having one less color would much matter.
Knitting Daily did an interesting piece on how to fit this vest. It's worth checking out if you're interested in the project.
I'm not entirely thrilled with how my waist decreases look with the purled faux seam stitch on either side but I think it will be alright.

Those are all lovely WIPs! I especially like the little cabled cardi. I must admit I'm a huge fan of vests for babies and kids — so practical. I just converted the Oz vest from Louisa Harding's Natural Knits for Babies and Moms to knit in the round, and it was so much fun.
I'm about to start a vest for June (Blank Canvas Child's Vest by Cari of Dogsstealyarn), I can't wait! She only has one sweater vest (and it's not handknit!) but she wears it constantly. It's the perfect layer for in-between temps. But I can't wait to see Beatrix's cardigan! It's looking very promising so far and YOUR vest is stunning!
Great WIPs! I can't decide which one I like the most. I really like the color substitutions you've made on your ILV – I can't wait to see the FO!
So many great projects. I love the soakers, who'd think diaper covers could be so cute.
Don't feel bad about that second sock – I only just finished mine today and the pattern was pretty easy to memorize. You have some great WIPs, I can see why it's so hard to carry them around though.
I love seeing your little wool soakers! Olive lived in hers–they're so darling, and surprisingly cool.
looks like you need some simple stockinette socks! :) the vest is beautiful!!! Love your color subs – I'm not a fan of teal either, but I love the shades of blue.
That Drunken Bee sock is SO COOL. I know just what you mean about the simple, portable projects that become not so much…
lots of beautiful stuff on the needles! i love those drunken bee socks.
I can see how you're having purse-knitting problems! Maybe you need to start a stockinette sock?
I like the color changes you made for the vest! It's going to be great!
I most certainly do NOT think you're an idiot. Reason #1: I haven't even STARTED my second sock. And #2: Um, Ivy League Vest? Yeah. Idiots knit those all the time.
I'm sorry the chart's giving you such headaches — but it really is looking lovely.
That ILV is gorgeous! Great color choices.
I love the corrugated ribbing on your beautiful vest – those gorgeous colors just peeking through…love it!!
yep – you need a stockinette sock for take along…
I think those wool soakers are adorable! And your Ivy league vest is stunning.
The vest is gorgeous, but yes Eunnie has a thing for the purled fake seam……I don't care much for that part of her patterns. But your vest looks wonderful.
Maybe I can help you with the sleeves of Beatrix' cardigan. When I did my white cardi I used the book "Knitting in the old way" to do short row sleeve cap shaping. If you have access to the book it is on page 115 (try the library). Then you can visualize the sleeve as you go. It worked great for me, and one perk, less finishing! You see, you pick up the stitches on the shoulder as you go and then work your way to the cuff …. in the round!!!!! It's great. well, just a thought anyway. Good luck with it!
Just in case you were curious the white cardi is here : http://lindaknittingblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/summer-cardigan-finally-done.html
Thanks for the comment! I love your start on the Ivy League Vest, and the substitution of blues for the greens is really beautiful.
Whenever I'm working on a mindless knit, I get bored and long for cables and such. And whenever I'm absorbed with shaping and complicated stitches I wish I was knitting stockinette in the round…yar. I'm no help. But I canNOT wait to see the Ivy League Vest! I hope to knit it someday when I'm brave like you. :)
I have to agree 100% with Jenna. Socks/knitted toys/baby items tend to make the best purse knitting for me. I have not found an answer to the too complex/too boring dilemna – if I do I will surely let you know!
Your WIPs look great! Seems like you have a nice amount of variety both category and difficulty wise. ILV looks amazing. The diaper soakers are cute! Most people might find them boring, but I think they are adorable, and you'll probably see me knitting up a storm of them once I have kiddies as well.
That little soaker is just so cute. Seriously. Of all my knitting projects, none of them are (I feel) "on the go" projects. Okay, one of them is, but I am so over socks right now. Your vest is looking pretty great!
Oh, those are all lovely! Esp. the fair isling.
Does B find the Lamb's Pride itchy? Just wondering.
Wow! I love the Ivy League Vest — I've been looking at that one, too! I struggle to find on-the-go projects, too, so I can knit without getting bored.
Wow, that Drunken Bee looks fantastic in that color! I love it!
And your Ivy League Vest is looking great too!
The Ivy League vest is gorgeous – love it – have been thinking of it but not so keen on the fair isle. Thanks for visiting my blog & the nice comment.
Wow, you've been knitting up a storm! Your Ivy League is looking fantastic. I think any concerns you have about decreases around the purl seams will block out. I love your color changes.
They all look so beautiful. I cant wait to see how the baby jacket turns out too. The vest looks awesome in those colors too.
I'm with you on the anti-teal feelings; your color choice is great! And it looks like it's coming along quickly, too!
The colours on your ILV are so pretty..Nice colour comibination.
I also think that vests look cute on toddlers! But can't wait to see how Beatrix's cardigan turns out. The cables are pretty
I can totally relate! Most of my knitting time comes when I am sitting at someone's house, chatting over a cup of coffee. None of my friends are knitters, so they get touchy if I appear to be ignoring them while I knit. That means I have to carry something that requires very little thought on my part. One of these days I'm going to lock myself in a closet and knit something really cool!

Mayor Alan Lambert of Romulus was no where to be found on Tuesday to answer our questions after we learned what sources say happened last Monday when the state police raided his home.It was about three o'clock last week at Romulus City Hall when Lambert abruptly adjourned a meeting saying he had a pressing engagement elsewhere.He had a meeting with Moe across the street, whose business has been having some trouble with the city. Now according to our sources, the mayor says he wasn't talking about those problems. He was simply seeing Moe to get a $15,000 undocumented loan to get a new car. However, what the mayor didn't know was that Moe was wearing a wire.So Lambert came home with the money, put it in his safe, then the state police showed up. The mayor let them inside, and they took him to the darkened bathroom and shined an ultraviolet flashlight on him. Guess what? We're told his hands were all full of ink."I left on my own terms only because I could not support this administration any longer," said Robert Dickerson, Romulus' recently resigned police chief. "I felt that any time someone's home gets raided, there's a reason they raid your home. That means they have evidence that something you've done or something you have is illegal."Dickerson said this couldn't come at a worse time for Romulus because the chief of police before him and some of his underlings are scheduled to go on trial this summer for using undercover money to buy sexual favors from strippers, marijuana and cocktails."It couldn't come at a worse time because we were making so much headway in cleaning up the community's image and the reputation and so forth, and now not only do we have a trial coming up in July of those five former officers, but now we've got an issue with the mayor, which is probably going to lead to a trial," he remarked.Mayor Lambert, you can have it your way or you can do it the right way. I'm told the authorities have lots of tape, allegedly of you taking money from local business people. Do the right thing.

Take Action
Reduce Single-use Bags in NYC
Plastic bags are designed to be used only for a short period of time, but their negative impacts are long-lasting. Even when properly disposed of, plastic bags often blow away onto the street or into waterways, where they become eye-sores, clog storm drains, and endanger wildlife. Our bill aims to reduce the use and negative impacts of carryout bags by requiring a 10-cent charge for carryout bags in NYC grocery and retail stores, and stores would retain the cost of the charge.
Don't evict our elderly neighbors.
125 vulnerable seniors living at the Prospect Park Residence have been given a mass 90-day eviction notice. We call on the owner, Haysha Deitsch, to withdraw his heartless closure plan, and on the NYS Dep't of Health to reverse this terrible decision. Sign their petition!
Help End Credit Discrimination
The use of credit reports to discriminate against job applicants is on the rise, with over 60% of employers nationwide using the credit histories of prospective employees to inform their hiring decisions.
Participatory Budgeting
What does your neighborhood need? An improved park? Safer streets? New school technology? In participatory budgeting, you give your ideas and City Councilmember Brad Lander has set aside $1 million to fund them. And your votes will decide which projects get funded.

Thanks for posting that link, Mariane. I put it into my favorites file for future reference. Believe me, we have enough prescriptions for different meds around here to choke a horse, and I would like to know how they interact.
Here's another question concerning meds:
With each new prescription a patient information sheet is given telling about that med including its possible side effects. If 10 different prescribed meds are taken for a certain condition, and if at least 6 of them list XYZ as a possible side effect, then, wouldn't the odds of the XYZ side effect actually occurring also increase...perhaps by a factor of 6 or more?
By the way, the doctor is insistent that all the meds are necessary...and denies that the cause of the disturbing side effect could be from the meds. In my opinion, they would rather run all kinds of expensive tests to search for another cause...and prescribe another med to fix the problem.
Doctors are trained to intimidate, prescribe, cut, and bill out the job.

This piece by Emily Perl Kingsley was shared with me while I was in graduate school and it continues to be a favorite! Having to tell a parent their child has a disability can sometimes be heart wrenching. If you or anyone you know end up on an analogous "trip to Holland," remember this and share it! :)
Welcome to Holland - Emily Perl Kingsley 1987
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......
When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland."
"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy. All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was supposed to go. That's what I had planned."
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very very significant loss.
But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.
-- If you have concerns that your child may have a disability, talk to your child's doctor or your local school psychologist. Early intervention is the best way to help your child be as successful as he or she can be!

Make sure trash isn't really treasure
Know value of items before donating
It's great to clear out stuff you no longer use and give it to charity. But, as one unidentified Miami investment firm learned, you should make sure you know what you're giving away.
When the investment firm was renovating its offices last May, they donated a quantity of items to Goodwill, including a 2.5-ton bronze statue of a young ballerina. For months, the statue sat in a warehouse, until Goodwill employees did a little investigating before setting a price.
It turned out the sculpture was one of 10 created in 1985 by famed artist Sterett-Gittings Kelsey and is valued at $500,000. Goodwill decided the honorable course of action was to offer to return the statue, The Miami Herald reported. The investment firm took it back.
It's unlikely any of us have sculptures worth $500,000 lurking in our homes (though I'm going to check the garage this weekend just to be sure), but it does pay to do some research before donating items you no longer want. We've all seen Antiques Roadshow, where Aunt Mavis' ugly table turned out to be worth $3,000.
When I inherited all the worldly goods of a departed relative, I spent months trying to figure out which things that didn't appear valuable to me were actually worth money. A roomful of books I wasn't interested in reading fetched about $2,700 on Amazon, including $200 for one (to me) very boring book on commercial real estate. One cassette tape on an inspirational topic by someone I had never heard of sold for $109.
An ugly designer briefcase that was 20 years old but never used sold for $200 on eBay. Other things weren't worth selling. A carload of beautiful clothes went to a thrift shop that used the proceeds to help poor women, and half a dozen carloads of household goods ended up at Goodwill.
Kelly at The Centsible Life has some guidelines she uses to decide what to sell, what to donate and what to throw away. She, like me, has not made much money with yard sales, so doesn't bother, donating those items instead. Others do very well with yard sales. Jason at Frugal Dad has a good list of tips on how to hold a successful yard sale.
Goodwill itself has become more conscious of which items will fetch higher prices for its charitable efforts and runs online auctions for those items. Proceeds go to the same cause, providing job training and employment for people with disabilities.
What about you? Do you have tips on how to find out whether what you see as trash is really treasure, or at least worth real money? And what are the best tactics for selling it for the most money?

A new app is aiming to take the "social" out of social media. Unlike most social networking apps, Cloak helps you avoid your "friends". The program uses location data from Instagram and Foursquare to figure out who's nearby that you might know. You can flag people you really don't want to see, and Cloak will warn you when you come within a certain range of each other. The app's developers believe society is nearing social networking critical mass, and that this is only the beginning of so-called anti-social networks. Ironically, Cloak also sounds like a good way to be creepy and stalk people.

Verdi Rigoletto - Gianandrea Noseda et al
Aix-en-Provence Festival, July 2013
Sunday Times, 21 Jul 2013
Certainly, the conducting and playing were the main reasons for catching the production in Aix. Noseda presides over an uncut version of this mid-period score, Verdi's first undisputable masterpiece, and brings thrilling momentum to the opera's powerful melodrama, the LSO underpinning great moments such as Rigoletto's outburst of rage, Cortigiani, vil razza dannata (Vile and damned race of courtiers), with playing of convulsive, volcanic power. Noseda conducts the final act, with its great quartet and "storm" trio, in one momentous arch.

Le Figaro, 8 Jul 2013
The quintessential drama of Verdi's Rigoletto was in the Orchestra, thanks to the direction of fire and blood by Gianandrea Noseda, who draws an Italianate sound from the London Symphony Orchestra (the vibrato of the trumpets!). Even the acoustics of the orchestra pit for once were not a disastrous damper to the sound. And that changes everything!
France Culture, 11 Jul 2013
The great joy of the Aix production is the rapport between Gianandrea Noseda, almost unknown in our country, and the London Symphony Orchestra. I confess that I have never heard Verdi played at this level, which is close to perfection, the violins in particular being miraculous, but it would be unfair to highlight certain parts compared to others as the pleasure is constant.
Financial Times, 8 Jul 2013
Gianandrea Noseda is unflappable on the podium throughout, with tempi that are brisk yet flexible, a keen sense of dramatic build-up, and an ear for his cast.

Mozart Don Giovanni - Marc Minkowski et al
Aix-en-Provence Festival, July 2013
Sunday Times, 21 Jul 2013
Minkowski was less successful than Noseda in achieving a rapport between the pit and the stage in Don Giovanni.

Financial Times, 8 Jul 2013
Marc Minkowski makes the London Symphony Orchestra sound convincingly like a period instrument band, keeps textures light and tempi fleet, and only sometimes struggles to hold his performers together.

Le monde, 8 Jul 2013
At the head of the London Symphony Orchestra, Marc Minkowski showed his talents as a playwright and served the "tchernakovienne" cause with zeal, drive even sometimes taking precedence over the pulsation.

LSO/Tenebrae City of London Festival - Nigel Short/Gordan Nikolitch
Mon 8 Jul 2013, St Paul's Cathedral
Bachtrack, 9 Jul 2013
I'm seldom convinced by Arvo Pärt in the concert hall, but this moving performance of the Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten had a gentle solemnity to it, doubtless enhanced by the sound reverberating all around the cathedral. It was wonderfully played, too, by the LSO strings, directed by their leader Gordan Nikolitch.

I mean really, who has that kind of time!!!
I would never, ever make anything like this for myself, but it would be a fun surprise for a kid's birthday lunch. I like the orange flower.
I find the ones that look like people seriously discomfiting... despite the obvious skill and creativity
I want Calvin & Hobbes!
Creative and fun to look at, but for lunch in the real world? I don't think so. Sometimes I don't have the time to fully prepare a sandwich, instead all the things to make it just get tossed in a bag and get assembled at work.
ha ha ha.... I made a face on my pancake, too:-) http://7th-taste.com/2010/12/20/danish-christmas-pastry-drink-aebleskiver-glogg/ It's fun! Why not?
Just for the record, this sort of thing existed long, long before Pinterest. Try an image search for "bento box".
They all look so amazing, I don't have the patience or energy to do all that when I'm going to devour it in under 2 minutes :)
I miss Calvin and Hobbes:(
I always wonder what happens to all of the food that doesn't make it into the cute cuts. I mean, what happens to all the cheese that falls outside the edges of the cookie cutter? Does it just get thrown out? Or does the parent just take a really ugly lunch of all of the left over bits that don't make it into the kids' cute lunches?
That's how we found a lot of these in the first place!
these are so funny! I was going to be all snarky about who has the time, but it's just so entertaining and life can use bits of silly like this. I mean, I would question someone's sanity or priorities if they did this everyday . . .
I save bread scraps in a ziplock in the fridge (which I then use over and over) and make French Toast Casserole Muffins, homemade breadcrumbs, or croutons. Because we're gluten-free now, it's even more useful to save my scraps! And no one blinks twice at eating the heels when they're in a yummy French Toast muffin!
For veggies and such, I toss the scraps into soups sometimes, but usually my salad. I did the snowflake salad at the end there, and the scraps (plus carrot scraps from my daughter's lunch) are chopped up and mixed in under the layer of spinach I put on top to make the kohlrabi snowflakes pop more.
Meats and cheese scraps are great in omelets, Quiche Breakfast Muffins, quesadillas, grilled sandwiches (so the cheese scraps can melt and not fall out!) mini pita pocket sandwiches, or pocket sandwiches (where I use a tool to seal the edges so the bits stay inside.) Or added to home-made or home-baked pizza. And I often put the "ugly" scraps in the Baby's lunch, since they're easier for her to manage than big slices. And in my lunches, with some crackers.
Everyone has the time to do what they love. Some knit, some watch sports games, some watch the latest reality TV, some scrapbook, some take various amounts of extra time to make a fun lunch.
I also pack the night before, and add anything that might get soggy in the morning instead, so I'm not strapped for time and rushing around. I just watch one less show a night, or don't check Facebook that one last time before going to bed.
We all make time for our passions.
"Who has the time?" asked the blog readers. Hilarious.
Any hoo, these lunches look awesome & if making food more visually appealing can get anyone to eat healthier, all the better.
This Quaker speaks my mind.
Cute ideas!
I think they're fun, although I agree that eating a face seems a bit creepy, and there's no way I could manage to make most of these. My toddler is definitely having her Easter lunch served in eggs though. That is so cute.
I think they're very cute and I like that each one has lots of fruits and veggies. Most of these though it looks like they are lacking in protein. Maybe its just not visible. Plus some of the foods are colored, like that blue rice and the purple hummus? Not very appetizing.

Has the reviwer above even seen the films about he/she is writing? "with 'Philomena', the real-life story of an Irish woman looking for the son she adopted as a teenager." Philomena didn't adopt her son. Her son (was her birth son) and was taken from her when she had nowhere to turn, and no one to fight for her. Philomena gets 4 stars, the reporter gets 1 star for sloppy reporting.

Best Picture
Will win
Should win
'12 Years a Slave'
Should have been nominated
'Inside Llewyn Davis'
The frontrunner
It truly is a three-horse race for Best Picture. Steve McQueen's '12 Years a Slave' is a drama both brutal and uplifting – right in the Academy's wheelhouse. No one could deny that it's an important film, and a beautifully made one. But sneaking up on the inside is 'American Hustle', precisely the kind of gorgeously mounted fluff that the Oscars just love to give surprise awards to (remember 'Chicago'?). David O Russell's crime caper sports stunning costume design, whip-smart dialogue and terrific performances, which, given the huge number of actors who vote in this category, could well swing the vote in its favour.
But let us not overlook 'Gravity', which has had critics and audiences swooning, and has plenty of momentum following a pair of Bafta wins (for Best Director and Best British Film). If the Academy decides to court the multiplex vote, this is the one they'll pick.
Possible spoilers
'12 Years a Slave' may simply prove too heavy going for the Academy's old-timer voters. It's hard to imagine them relishing the idea of being lectured on their nation's historical crimes by a foreigner – especially a Brit. 'American Hustle' is fizzy and fun, but will its lack of substance leave it wanting? And 'Gravity' may be the popular choice, but the big prize has never gone to a sci-fi flick before.
Who else is nominated?
Aids drama 'Dallas Buyers Club' may sport strong performances and powerful subject matter, but the film just isn't impressive enough. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is probably too brash for Oscar tastes – too many drugs and hookers, not enough lesson-learning. And the lack of a Best Actor nod for Tom Hanks in 'Captain Phillips' means that film is clearly not uppermost in the Academy's hearts and minds.
'Nebraska', 'Her' and great British hope 'Philomena' are the kind of spry, indie-ish character pieces that always pick up nominations but rarely grab the big prize (bearing in mind, we said the same thing about 'The King's Speech' a couple of years back).

Oscars 2013: the winners
Thanks to a strong and diverse slate of films, the 2013 Academy Awards ceremony was an unpredictable affair: in the big six categories (Best Picture, Best Director and the four acting categories) not a single film took more than one award. Everyone assumed before the night that 'Argo' would take Best Picture, but it was far from a sure thing. In fact, the only truly safe bet was Daniel Day-Lewis and the Academy agreed, granting the British actor a record-breaking third Best Actor Oscar.
Users say
Is Blue Jasmine not being nominated as Best Film? Cate Blanchett definitely is a strong contender in Best actress category - her performance in Bluew jasmine was flawless! @syirinsaid
Nomination for Saving Mr Banks, Thompson and Hanks. Strong contender in original screenplay. Sure Oscar in Original score of Thomas Newman.
Nomination for Saving Mr Banks, Thompson and Hanks. Strong contender in original screenplay. Sure Oscar in Original score of Thomas Newman.
Emma Thompson in nomination absolutely. The nominees are: Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.
Saving Mr Banks, of course.

Millions of African-American women chemically straighten their hair, but could those chemicals raise their risk of uterine fibroids?
At Hair Rox Salon in College Park, owner Dana Roxette has witnessed a kind of hair revolution. Ten years ago, she says, 95 percent of her African-American clients chemically-relaxed their hair. Today, only a quarter of her clients do. The rest are going natural. Roxette says, "So, they can wear their hair curly like mine, wavy like mine, and go to the gym. And on the weekend, if they want to go out, they can go out and press their hair like it's relaxed." But stylist Maya Cooper tried natural hair and found it hard to keep up. Cooper explains, "I sweat easily, and because it was longer, it was just a little more work than I wanted it to do."Cooper has been chemically-straightening her hair for 25 years. So she was intrigued -- and a little alarmed -- by a 2012 Boston University study that found black women who use hair relaxers are at slightly higher risk of developing uterine fibroids: They're non-cancerous tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus, causing heavy bleeding, painful periods and are a leading cause of hysterectomies.According to the National Women's Health Information Center, African-American women are three times more likely to develop fibroids than other women.And they get them younger, and the tumors grow faster, and are more likely to cause symptoms.Maya Cooper says, "I'm definitely concerned, because I use a relaxer, so I would like to know if it's something that's going to affect my health." But Dr. Carol Hogue, a professor of epidemiology at Emory's Rollins School of Public Health, says the link between fibroids and hair relaxers is not very strong.Hogue says, "There is an impact, it is very small."Hogue says the Boston University study was well done, following 23,000 women, but, "When they examine the difference between women of African ancestry, and women of more European ancestry, the hair relaxer association practically disappears."So for now, Hogue says there's no smoking gun, "But uterine fibroids are a big problem among African-American women." She believes women should pay attention to Vitamin D deficiency, weight and lack of exercise. In fact, according to the CDC, 42 percent of Black women are overweight. A few years back, researchers questioned women working at Grady Hospital about the challenges to being active.Dr. Hogue says, "One of the biggest barriers they felt, to doing the exercise they wanted to do, was concern about how to get their hair back in place, perspiration, etc."Dana Roxette says she'd like to see more research into this subject, for her clients, "So they would have the choice. Should I relax my hair, or should I go natural? And if I do get a relaxer, am I risking my health?"Because Roxette says her clients, "are not only my business, but they're my family, too."One of the leading hair care manufacturer trade associations is reacting to the study. In a statement to FOX 5, the American Health and Beauty Aids Institute says, "Based on our industry information, we have not seen or received any reports of a link to perms and uterine fibroids. Extensive research is conducted in product development to ensure these products are safe with the best results obtained by utilizing licensed salon professionals for haircare services. I believe the chance for any link to perms and uterine fibroids (if any) is so slim, there is little need for concern," Geri Duncan Jones, Executive Director, American Health & Beauty Aids Institute (AHBAI)."

Gain access to your Disney Institute courses, quiz results and alumni content.
What do customers remember more — products or people? When Walt Disney determined the answer was people, he hit upon a fundamental business truth that led to the immediate and sustained success of The Walt Disney Company. At Disney, we synchronize the mission of each Cast member with the culture of the whole organization to create an extraordinary Guest (customer) and Cast (employee) experience. How do we do this? It starts with extraordinary attention to detail in our hiring and training processes that ensures we hire and develop people who fit our culture. We then create and nurture a work environment that reinforces engagement.
By applying the time-tested Disney approach, you will learn insights that
will help your organization not only hire the people that best fit your culture, but also shape them into employees who are comfortable in their roles and
know their purpose. Because building a competitive advantage in the marketplace depends so much on your culture and achieving desired behaviors, Disney insights into employee engagement will benefit your overall organization, and
your bottom line.
Disney insights and illustrations are beneficial to any organization looking to improve how it selects, trains, and engages employees. Organizations interested in shaping a confident, highly productive, and dedicated workforce w
ill find this course valuable.
Disney has a foundation created by a vibrant traditions, quality standards, and shared values. At each and every Disney Destination around the world, these are the pillars upon which our culture is built. By design, we cultivate unique traits and behaviors, and introduce language, symbols, processes, and styles to distinguish Disney in the marketplace. By protecting and nurturing our culture, we remain committed, focused, and ready to achieve new business goals. In this course you will discover the link between desired behaviors and culture and how it impacts organizational results.
Attitude outweighs aptitude. At Disney, we ensure our cultural standards thrive by considering a potential employee's attitude not simply hiring a candidate to fill an open position. Ensuring we are finding the right person for the right role, our internal employment operation called Disney Casting, must answer the needs of both our customers and employees. You will learn new ways to think about your selection process to find "right-fit" people and recognize opportunities to improve culture even when a candidate is not a "right-fit."
Disney training is a comprehensive strategy designed to develop skills, while promoting and reinforcing our Company's values, history, and processes. Our training instills confidence in our Cast Members, reinforces our culture, brings organizational goals to life, and increases productivity and efficiency. You will experience what our training journey looks and feels like and then learn how it is achieved within an organization.
Genuine listening and intentional communication show you care about your employees. At Disney, we carefully craft our messages so Cast Members hear and understand that their actions enhance our shared values and the Disney legacy for future Cast Members. By understanding where we've been, they become connected with the leadership vision that will guide us into the future. You will learn how to create high-quality communication that can engage your employees and influence an organization from your newest hires to employees with the longest tenure.
Gratitude improves attitude — that is one reason we express sincere appreciation, empathy, and support to every Cast Member. We recognize accomplishments, involve Cast Members in developing customer service strategies, and give them opportunities to make the best use of their talents and skills. It is a mutually beneficial practice — better working relationships result in employees understanding their value to the company and what each person brings to the goal of delivering exceptional customer experiences. You will learn about the deep level of genuine care necessary to positively impact employees, your organization, and ultimately your customers.
Disney's Approach to Selection, Training & Engagement is available in either 1-Day or Multi-Day durations at the Disneyland Resort or in a Multi-Day duration at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Arson investigators are on the scene of an early morning house fire that injured three people, including two children, on the city's east side.Residents of the multiple family flat on the 800 block of Navahoe say the flames began around 4 a.m. Wednesday while seven children slept inside. Leah Williams, who lives on the second floor, was able to make it out with her two children and her godson. "This is not the first fire, this is the second fire that was done within this week," Wilson tells FOX 2. "The first time it was just on the porch and they were able to put it out."The first fire crews arrived on scene to find a three-month-old child with burns to the head and arms on the front porch with a woman and another baby who escaped the flames. Her six-year-old boy and another woman were still trapped inside. Wilson showed the batallion chief the back way in. "They got the baby," said Wilson. "He was very quick on his toes. He didn't worry about not having protective gear on. He just wanted to save the child."Firefighters pulled the unresponsive child from the home, revived him and transported him in their own rig to Children's Hospital. The woman was pulled from the home and taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital by ambulance. At last check, she was in critical condition.Crews on the scene were furious when FOX 2 arrived saying the two closest fire stations were closed due to brown outs. "It's frustrating to the men and to the department," said DFD Battalion Chief Robert Zygmongowicz. "We're short-handed and if these companies were open it might have made a little bit of a difference."While crews may have been delayed, the fire victims were extremely thankful for their tremendous efforts."I'm glad that we do have a good fire department," said Wilson. "They were quick. They were quick."
The investigation is ongoing.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Forecasts of a steady deterioration in profit at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley
The brokerage giants have lost market share to smaller firms and independent advisers due to reputational damage to their parent banks during the financial crisis, but they still dominate and much of the slippage may have been strategic.
The wirehouses, as they are known, have dumped brokers who generate subpar revenue and are focusing on those who serve clients with investable assets of $1 million or more. Those affluent clients and the products they buy generate much higher profit than typical brokerage clients with $100,000 or more to invest.
The Bernstein analysts also debunked studies and press reports that cite the impending retirements of older clients and wirehouse brokers - the average age of top advisers based on assets they oversee is 60, Bernstein says - as reasons for a new generation of investors to bolt to smaller competitors.
"The demographic trends that will impact the industry over the next five years are entirely manageable or positive for the wirehouses," the analysts led by Brad Hintz wrote. "We believe that the wirehouse channel remains, and will remain, the most profitable portion of the North American full-service wealth management industry over the next five years."
The report comes amid a flow of studies over the last two years that track a small but growing number of wirehouse advisers leaving for independent brokerage firms such as LPL Financial Holdings. The smaller firms give them fewer services but a higher percentage of the revenue they produce. The studies also show more clients trusting their money to registered investment advisers, individuals who are usually paid a percentage of client assets they help oversee rather than commissions for sales of stocks, bonds and financial services.
A study released on Thursday, for example, showed that mutual fund and exchange-traded fund assets at independent brokers and RIAs grew 8.5 percent during the first quarter to $3.1 trillion compared to a 6.5 percent jump to $1.4 trillion at wirehouses. The totals exclude low-yielding money-market funds.
"Five years ago everyone in the fund industry focused on selling through the wirehouses," said Frank Polefrone, a senior vice president at Aces Data, which compiled the study with consulting firm Strategic Insight. "Over the past 18 months, we've seen these independent channels for advice-driven investors growing much more rapidly."
Hintz said in an email that numbers don't tell the whole story.
"I'm not certain the market share shift is unwanted," he wrote in an email. "The wirehouses have been shedding more advisers and more offices than assets overall, so they are increasing their margin and targeting a narrower client base. They remember what Willie Sutton said--'Go where the money is.'"
According to the report, the wealth management industry is on the rebound from a long slough that began in the financial crisis, and the biggest part of the growth is occurring among the wealthiest individuals.
Profit across all wealth industry channels, including discount brokers such as Charles Schwab
Brokers at wirehouses and RIAs, on average, oversee more than $100 million of client assets, compared with about $65 million per broker at regional brokerage firms and $25 million at independent firms, according to the study.
Measured by client assets under custody, wirehouses overwhlem its competitors with about 34 percent of the market, followed by 13 percent to 14 percent in the other sales channels, according to the Bernstein study.

As tax time draws ever nearer, most of us have spent some hours putting together our receipts, forms, and end of year statements to prepare for Uncle Sam's yearly deadline in April.
In the business of farming, that also means dealing with the depreciation of your equipment. Jody Padgham, Editor of Fearless Farm Finances, has written a fairly comprehensive article on what depreciation is, how it's calculated and what it means to you.
One thing I learned: The average piece of farm equipment is scheduled to last for 7 years. But your equipment could be worth much more.

The future is here now: NeuroSky is reading your thoughts. The California-based company invented the MindSet. It might just change your grumpy mindset the next time you're trying to remember which login password is for what.
Passwords will become "pass thoughts" in the next two to three years, say Cal-Berkeley researchers working with NeuroSky.
The brain has a unique signature, just like your fingerprints. Soon you'll be able to just think your way on to your computer.
Passwords will be more like a thing of the past.
The headset contraption works off of brainwaves, just like what doctors use when they do those EEG exams. But instead of examining those waves the MindSet reads them.
But just like when cell phones first came out, you might be wondering how safe it is to have something read your brain?
NeuroSky says don't always believe the sky is falling. They say it's completely safe. The technology is the same that neuroscientists been using for decades -- it's like reading heart rate.

Walmart has recently updated their coupon policy. My advice would be to print the Walmart Coupon Policy and the Walmart Price Matching policy, read it carefully and be sure to carry it with you. If your couponing methods are ever questioned, you can easily pull out the policy. Also, if you do run into a problem at a store, be sure to ask for the manager and get the name of the manager as well.
You can always put your items back and call the corporate offices to voice your complaint if necessary. For me personally, any time I have ran into issues, I"I've simply called a manger and all was well again.

July 1 – August 15, 2014
A Joint Program of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School & Harvard School of Public Health.
What is the Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE)?
The PCE is an intensive seven-week, 15-credit summer program, which contains summer-long core courses in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. All participants also select two half-summer courses from offerings in Current Issues in Health Policy, Decision Analysis in Clinical Research, Ethical Basis of the Practice of Public Health, Improving Quality in Health Care, Introduction to Methods and Applications in Health Services Research, Linear and Longitudinal Regression, Measuring and Analyzing the Outcomes of Health Care, Medical Informatics, Methods for Decision Making in Medicine, Research with Large Databases, and Research on Social and Behavioral Health: A Practical Guide. For students with previous experience, second level courses are also offered in Analytic Issues of Clinical Epidemiology, Principles of Clinical Trials, and Survival Methods in Clinical Research.
The PCE is a non-degree program; however, students who apply to and are accepted into an HSPH degree within five years of completing the PCE may have the credits counted toward the degree. HSPH offers two specifically relevant degree programs: the MPH with a concentration in clinical effectiveness and the SM in epidemiology with an area of interest in clinical epidemiology. Qualified participants enrolled in a degree program may also enroll in additional PCE courses in subsequent summers at HSPH. For details see Additional Coursework and Degree Options.
Who should apply to the PCE?
The PCE is designed for physician-clinicians, fellows and faculty, who are seeking quantitative and analytic skills needed for clinical research or are interested in health care administration. Local applicants must have a position in a clinical department in a Boston teaching hospital. Applicants from outside of Boston must be recommended by their affiliated medical school or teaching hospital. The PCE does not accept medical students. The PCE encourages applications from individuals from minority groups. Harvard University is an equal opportunity employer.
What are the expectations of the PCE?
Students must be free of all clinical responsibilities. In addition to three classes daily, students often have additional afternoon computer labs. The PCE involves a considerable amount of homework; 30% of last summer's participants spent, on average, over 20 hours each week on homework assignments.

just a comment on something the "Floating point precision" inset, which goes: "This is related to .... 0.3333333."
While the author probably knows what they are talking about, this loss of precision has nothing to do with decimal notation, it has to do with representation as a floating-point binary in a finite register, such as while 0.8 terminates in decimal, it is the repeating 0.110011001100... in binary, which is truncated. 0.1 and 0.7 are also non-terminating in binary, so they are also truncated, and the sum of these truncated numbers does not add up to the truncated binary representation of 0.8 (which is why (floor)(0.8*10) yields a different, more intuitive, result). However, since 2 is a factor of 10, any number that terminates in binary also terminates in decimal.
