Dear Problem Ladies:
I have a problem. A friend just adopted a baby boy, and I knit him a blanket. I washed it with a wool soap, and I noticed that my hands smelled a bit sheepish as I was squeezing out the excess water. The blocking worked . . . but the blanket still smells like sheep. In fact, the whole room in which the blanket is lying smells like a barn. A nice barn, but a barn. Really, it probably smells like alpaca since that's the fiber, but I've never been close enough to an actual alpaca to differentiate it from a sheep. Anyhow. I hate to embark on the process again as I'm not fond of blocking, but I will if it will get the smell out. Plan B: taking it to Dillard's and spraying it with each and every sample scent out there. What would you two do?
Dear Sara:
Your question sent the Problem Ladies into a reverie of nostalgia about all the barnyard animals with which we bonded at the New York Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck. Once you've had an up-close-and-personal encounter with a tender-eyed Cotswold, you never look at a skein of yarn the same way. For one thing, once you pat a sheep or an alpaca, you instantly see just how grungy their fleeces are (think the shag carpet off a freshman guy's dorm room floor). It's incredible, actually, that a raw fleece ever transforms from a dense, dirty, hay-filled animal pelt into a ball of lush, tidy wool.
Fleeces are processed in many different ways, and strong chemicals are sometimes used. In your case, we're guessing that your yarn may have been processed in some low-impact manner that didn't nuke out all of its natural barnyard splendor. One of the Problem Ladies has experienced yarns that never lose their sheepy smell, despite several washings with gentle wool soaps. With sheep wool, the odor is usually lanolin, but alpaca don't have lanolin, so that can't be the problem.
It sounds like you don't want this baby to feel like he's living in a barn. (Though there are some super-famous stories about babies who started out in mangers, so it might not be all that bad, actually.) We suggest trying another wash. It'll take a while, but it's for a baby for Pete's sake! Get busy! With a blanket that's headed for a baby, you need to keep things sweet and gentle. Use Dawn dishwashing liquid—the original blue one—making sure it doesn't contain the enzymes that tend to weaken protein fibers. Using room-temperature water, let the blanket sit a good half hour or more. Rinse it with the same temperature water, without agitation, and let it dry. Then do a soak in a white vinegar bath—a couple of tablespoons of vinegar into a sink full of room-temperature water, followed by an agitation-free rinse. Many knitters swear by the redemptive power of a little vinegar to erase smells and to restore sheen to silk yarns.
We will point out that if you use a flavored vinegar, you're going to end up with a baby blanket that smells like a salad. Of course, a tarragon-scented baby blanket might be an upgrade.
Should I Knit When Others Are Not Knitting?
Dear Problem Ladies:
I saw a thread on Ravelry recently where a lawyer wondered whether it was okay to knit during continuing legal education classes. Lawyer Problem Lady, what do you think?
Dying Slow Death at CLE
Dear Almost Dead:
This is a fascinating question for every knitter who comes up against the opportunity to knit through some boring event. Is it disrespectful? Do you look like a lightweight? Is it distracting to the nerds around you who are taking notes on "Winning the Slip-and-Fall Case"?
Our answers: possibly, possibly, and possibly. The true question is whether you care. It's up to you. Most continuing legal education (CLE) courses seem to have a requirement that your conscious body be present in the room with the speaker. Beyond that, attorneys do all sorts of stuff during these required courses: check email, kill at Sudoku, and occasionally even listen.
If you want to knit during class, there's a sure-fire way to avoid feeling sneaky or nervous about it. Find a class on a topic that is outside your usual field of practice, and/or is being taught by somebody who is not in the topmost drawer of the legal filing cabinet. Using either method (or even better, combining them) will ensure that nobody you know, or nobody you care about, is there. You can pull out that tea cozy in the shape of a clown head, or those mohair hot pants-in-progress, without fear. Your classmates have no idea who you are.
We have gone on record regarding places we have tried to knit and failed (the Walmart checkout line, a funeral). But we're basically knitting libertarians: if you find yourself with a sliver of time and a pair of needles in your hands, it's time to knit.
Southern Problem Lady, living as she does on the buckle of the Bible Belt, has been asked on several occasions about the propriety of knitting at church, which one might consider continuing education of an eternal sort. She thinks that idle hands make the Devil's work, so she is pro knitting whenever possible. She has been reading a lot about the Puritans lately, and they believed that works were a way toward grace. Who knows, right? If you knit through a church service, it might put you a step closer to salvation. At the very least, you'll get some mittens out of it. She knows a number of churchgoers who draw the line at knitting during an actual worship service. Sunday school? Fine. Lining up for communion with a ball of mohair trailing down the aisle behind you? Get ready for some serious stink-eye at Coffee Hour.
Dear Problem Ladies:
Is there a cure for swatchitis? I've knit up an entire skein of beautiful, one-of-a-kind yarn that I acquired without a pattern in mind, or maybe with too many patterns in mind—as swatches. The yarn is delicious; swatching it is too much fun.
Dear Susan:
The only cure for swatchitis is more yarn. We heartily endorse the idea of knitting lots of little squares. If you keep this up long enough, you will definitely end up with a blanket or seventies-looking art garment. Keep swatching!
When Money Actually Does Sort of Equal Love
Dear Problem Ladies:
I can't find the pattern that you were just blogging about. Would you please send me a copy of it so that I can make it myself?
Dear Clarissa:
We can't do that, no matter how much we love that wacky lace bed jacket pattern and want to cover the world in wacky lace bed jackets. It's a form of stealing, not to be too blunt about it. When somebody goes to the trouble of creating a pattern, and a magazine goes to the trouble of printing and distributing it, they're doing a very kind thing: they're giving us cool ideas and instructions. They deserve to make money from this.
Sometimes it feels like we are the last remaining believers in the importance of copyright. Suckers! We're total suckers. We make our kids buy their music on iTunes, not because we're sanctimonious or because we like getting emails alerting us to 99-cent purchases of terrible pop songs. It's just that, if you live in a town like Nashville, where there are hundreds of musicians waiting tables and looking sort of hungry, you feel for them. They're working really hard to create something for us to enjoy. Sure, they're feeding their souls by writing tender ballads, but they're not feeding their faces. They deserve to get something back from us, money, in particular. Liking a band on Facebook is one thing, but paying them for their work is the ultimate indicator of admiration. We feel that knitting designers are likewise worthy of our dollar-based love.
Think of it as love. You're giving little, limited-edition engravings featuring portraits of dead presidents to the people who add to the fun of that thing we love to do. "I love your wacky bed jacket pattern: here's six bucks of love."
The Most Burning Question of All
Dear Problem Ladies:
Toe-up or top-down for socks?
This is such a litmus test, such a measure of human nature. Working a sock from the toe-up suggests that you know how to do Judy's Magic Cast-on or otherwise begin a sock from pure nothingness. You are a magician. Top-down tells the world that you are either a) confident that you have assessed your yarn needs for this sock or b) don't really give a crap whether you have enough yarn to finish the sock or not. The pragmatism of a toe-up sock is appealing: by ending up there at the cuff, you can complete a sock with a shorter or longer cuff depending on how much yarn you have. Truly, though, when does a person start a sock these days with a mysterious amount of sock yarn that may or may not be enough to complete two entire socks? Everybody in the world has bales of sock yarn clogging up their drawers. We're all lousy with sock yarn. We think this scenario is baloney. We've never come across a person limping along in an incomplete top-down sock with their toes poking out.
We are not prolific sock knitters, at all. One of us never makes them; the other has a tired Ziploc bag in her car at all times with a chronically unfinished sock at the ready for emergency knitting situations when no other knitting is available. Three socks in four years may be the number of socks coming from that effort. That sock is always a top-down sock, because it's the only pattern she knows.
It seems that most avid sock knitters get to the point that they'll knit any kind of a sock: top-down, toe-up, or even diagonal if you're Cat Bordhi. Our conclusion: knit them all. There is no bad sock.

McAuliffe travels Va. touting Medicaid expansion
WISE, Va. (AP) — In his first months on the job, Virginia Gov. Terry McAullife is trying to capitalize on Democrats' takeover of top state offices and the state Senate by pushing a key element of President Barack Obama's health care law through a Republican-dominated House of Delegates.
The General Assembly's regular session ended a week ago without an agreement on expanding Medicaid, leaving the matter to be resolved with the rest of the state budget at a special session at the end of March. Now McAuliffe is drawing on his past as a rock-star fundraiser by barnstorming cash-strapped hospitals to pressure the House to accept billions in federal money to insure the poor.
If the two sides can't agree on a two-year budget by the end of June, state government would shut down. McAuliffe has rejected Republican calls to pass the $96 billion budget without expanding Medicaid and revisit the subject in another special session.
Earlier this month McAuliffe visited a hospital and health clinic in southwest Virginia in an effort to highlight how struggling hospitals in poorer, less populated areas desperately need the federal cash. The former head of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton confidante — who once wrestled an alligator for campaign cash — appeared at ease while meeting with patients and hospital officials in a county that McAuliffe lost to his Republican opponent by nearly 45 points in last year's election.
"We see everyday patients that are actually dying," said Paula Hill Meade, clinical director at the Health Wagon free clinic. "It's either eat or buy their medicines."
Meade says the clinic has seen a 70 percent increase in the number of clients in the last year as the area economy has suffered from problems in the coal industry.
After meeting with two patients, the governor raised his voice and slammed his hand on a table for emphasis.
"I wish your delegate and senator would come here and look you in the eye, and explain to me why we're not giving them health coverage," McAuliffe said.
The Republicans who control the state's House of Delegates oppose expanding Medicaid and argue that states would have to foot the bill if the federal government doesn't keep its funding promise. The Obama administration has pledged to pay for the first three years of expansion and no less than 90 percent after that.
About half the states have decided to expand Medicaid, and several others are still considering an expansion. While a handful of states with Republican governors are expanding, most southern states have declined to do so.
The election of McAuliffe and a Democratic lieutenant governor armed with a deciding Senate vote gave supporters of Medicaid expansion hope that it could happen this year. But McAuliffe had little luck finding a deal before the end of the regular session.
If McAuliffe were able to swing one of the largest states in the South, it not only be a symbolic victory for the Obama administration but would also show there are ways for states with divided governments to "get to 'yes,'" said Judy Solomon, vice president for health policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which advocates for low-income people.
Virginia, which has a long history of resisting public assistance, ranked 48th in per capita Medicaid spending last year, according to state figures.
But McAuliffe is confident that the state, which also elected a Democratic attorney general last year, is ready to break from its conservative legacy.
"This is too much money," said McAuliffe, adding that a state budget estimate projects the Affordable Care Act with expanded Medicaid for 400,000 residents would save Virginia $1 billion by 2022.
The current plan being pushed by Virginia Senate Democrats and three Senate Republicans would expand Virginia's current use of private insurers to Medicaid clients. Similar approaches have been used elsewhere, such as Arkansas, to make expansion palatable to Republicans.
But House Republicans have rejected that plan. They have also said that increased Medicaid spending wouldn't cure all of rural hospitals' many budget woes, and note that their proposed budget would increase payments to free health clinics.
Republican Del. Terry Kilgore, whose district includes the Health Wagon clinic, said most messages from his constituents following McAuliffe's visit were against a Medicaid expansion.
"Other than from the hospitals, I'm not getting a cry and hue from my constituents to expand Medicaid," said Kilgore.
Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said he doubts Republicans, wary of facing primary challengers from their right flank, will hand McAuliffe a win.
The new governor is a millionaire former Democratic National Committee chairman who was co-chairman of Bill Clinton's presidential campaign and Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2008 campaign.
During the legislative session, the former D.C. power player tried to woo lawmakers with frequent receptions at the Executive Mansion, but has said Republicans simply aren't interested in negotiating.
Republicans, in turn, have said that McAuliffe isn't interested in having a serious debate. They have also pointed out that some of the hospitals McAuliffe has visited enjoy comfortable profit margins and have generous pay for top executives.
"The whole world is upside down, they're attacking CEO pay," said McAuliffe in an interview with The Associated Press aboard a state-owned plane flying back from Wise County.
McAuliffe had said he has more trips planned and expects Republican lawmakers to feel pressure from their constituents.
Before leaving the clinic in Wise County, McAuliffe made a promise to Pat Beverly, a grocery store cashier who said she can't afford health insurance.
"I'm going to get this done for you," McAuliffe said. "If it's the last thing I do."
Afterwards, Beverly told a reporter that she and her husband make about $2,000 a month, which could put them slightly above the cut-off line for Medicaid expansion.
Regardless, Beverly, who said she's good at reading people, said she had her doubts about McAuliffe's pledge.
"Right now I'm reading that it's just a big show," she said.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Don't Worry. Be Happy.
Hi there. Steve here.
My mom wanted me to drop in and make a post because she hasn't posted for a while.
Last night she ended up in the hospital after feeling weak.
She's having some tests. We'll know more tomorrow.
Don't worry.
Carol and I visited her while she enjoyed her liquid dinner.
Over the years we've shared some funny stories about hospital food.
Here's proof that she was in the hospital today.
I left her a note on her whiteboard in the room.
Have Fun!
She got a kick out of that.
I, too, have been wondering about you and checking in from time to time. Having tests are never fun, but I hope you are soon home with answers that help you feel stronger.
Thanks, Steve, for posting.
Thanks, Steve, for posting.
Steve, thanks for letting us know. I have been wondering why you haven't posted in a while,Millie. I hope you will soon be good as new and back home.
My best to Milly along with my prayers. She is my inspiration to do the things I love.
Thank you Steve and Carol for taking such good care of her.
Thank you Steve and Carol for taking such good care of her.

"A massive, highly sophisticated piece of malware has been newly found infecting systems in Iran and elsewhere and is believed to be part of a well-coordinated, ongoing, state-run cyberespionage operation. The malware, discovered by Russia-based anti-virus firm Kaspersky Lab, is an espionage toolkit that has been infecting targeted systems in Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, the Israeli Occupied Territories and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa for at least two years. Dubbed 'Flame' by Kaspersky, the malicious code dwarfs Stuxnet in size." Since I'm not particularly well-versed in the subject, maybe someone can answer this question for me: if country A creates a malware infection like this to spy on and/or harm computers in country B, can it be construed as an act of war under existing international law?

Though no specifics are on the table, experts say there are several likely candidates for the chopping block. MarketWatch's Jonnelle Marte joins Lunch Break with the list. Photo: Getty Images.

All News Releases By Date
Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, LLC to Pay $10,150 for Risk Management Plan Violations at Council Bluffs Ethanol Plant
Release Date: 02/02/2012
Contact Information: Chris Whitley, 913-551-7394, firstname.lastname@example.com
Environmental News
(Kansas City, Kan., Feb. 2, 2012) - Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy, LLC has agreed to pay a $10,150 civil penalty and spend at least $38,729 on a supplemental environmental project for failing to file a risk management plan and implement risk management regulations at its dry-mill ethanol plant in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
According to an administrative consent agreement and final order filed by EPA Region 7 in Kansas City, Kan., an inspection of the ethanol plant in January 2010 found that the company had not filed a risk management plan for the facility, as required by the federal Clean Air Act.
Under the Clean Air Act, the Council Bluffs facility was required to file a risk management plan because it had exceeded the 10,000-pound threshold for anhydrous ammonia, an extremely hazardous chemical. Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy was storing approximately 28,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia at the time of the EPA inspection.
As part of its settlement with EPA, Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy has agreed to perform a supplemental environmental project, through which it will spend at least $38,729 to purchase emergency response equipment for the Council Bluffs and Lewis Township fire departments.
By agreeing to the settlement, the company has certified that the Council Bluffs ethanol plant is now in compliance with federal Risk Management Program regulations.
EPA enforces the Risk Management Program regulations of the Clean Air Act with a goal of preventing accidental chemical releases and minimizing the impact of releases or other accidents that may occur. The establishment of Risk Management Programs and formulation of Risk Management Plans helps companies, industries and municipalities operate responsibly, assists emergency responders by providing vital information necessary to address accidents and other incidents, protects the environment by preventing and minimizing damage from accidental releases, and keeps communities safer.

The Ridiculous Hoops Mad Men Had To Jump Through To Use Part Of A Beatles Song
from the or-how-we-kill-culture dept
Weiner, who says he once met Paul McCartney at a party but didn't broach the subject of licensing, zeroed in on "Tomorrow Never Knows" last summer, when he got the idea for a story about "how people think they know what the Beatles are. Of course the Beatles are one step ahead of you at least." That started a process he'd been through before, of sending "impassioned letters" to the band's representatives, including primary gatekeeper Jeff Jones, head of Apple Corps.But, here's the thing, as the article notes elsewhere, part of the appeal of the show is the very, very, very thorough attention to detail to make everything about the show accurate to the time. In fact, we noted a story (that not everyone agreed was true) that suggested that copyright had gotten in the way of historical realism on the show in the past. But here, as the show's producers noted, the Beatles are such a huge part of the 60s, it's a little crazy that they can't have the music on the show without jumping through this series of hoops. It basically means nobody can accurately depict an important period of cultural history without permission from the band.
This time, as Weiner cleared that initial hurdle, he continued to make his case for placing the Beatles "in a new context" by sharing story outlines and script pages with the team—"things I don't usually do," he says. Permission was finally granted based on the merit of the show and his plan for the song, not the amount of money on the table, he says. "The idea is that this is a financial arrangement, there is nothing further from the truth. This is completely an artistic collaboration."
If anything, it seems like (once again) copyright is being used to stifle culture, rather than to enable and encourage it. It also highlights one of the more ridiculous parts of copyright law: the vast differences in the way different rights and licenses work. If this were merely being performed live in a venue, the venue could get typical ASCAP/BMI licenses and play whatever music they wanted (with a few limitations). But, since it goes on TV, you're suddenly dealing with new issues like sync licenses. That seems silly. If we're going to allow public venues to play whatever they want with a blanket license, why shouldn't that apply equally to a TV show like Mad Men, which is using the music to accurately portray a time?

Straight Up Startup is a new feature brought to you by the Rackspace Startup Program in which we interview entrepreneurs and upstarts to get their insight on starting a business. Here, startups give you straight up insight on lessons learned, challenges and wins along the timeline of building a business.
Matthew Blackshaw is Co-founder of Peddl, the easiest way to buy and sell things with the people around you. Peddl is building a marketplace supported by proximal transactions, intelligent post matching, and friendly user experience with a specific focus towards privacy and trust – A simple breath of fresh air in the tired room of online marketplaces.
He completed his undergraduate studies at Yale University, focusing on economics, computer science and art. His next big move was Microsoft's user experience team, where he helped build the user interface of Windows 7 and Windows 8. In the summer of 2011, he and his Peddl co-founders decided it was time to give the old guard of the online marketplaces a run for their money in buying and selling goods. He's a recent Master's graduate from the MIT Media Lab.
A serial learner, creator, interaction designer and entrepreneur, Matthew Blackshaw took the time to talk to the Rackspace Startup Program about what's involved in building a marketplace supported by proximal transactions, intelligent post matching and friendly user experience with a specific focus towards privacy and trust. What follows are Matthew's thoughts on minimizing distraction while building an online marketplace startup:
What was the product development strategy at Peddl?
The core of our team was very product focused (co-founders Tony DeVincenzi has a background in visual and interaction design, Dávid Lakatos in human computer interaction and myself in interaction design and visual engineering). When it came to laying the foundation of our product, we always try and mock up wireframes on paper for all possible points of contact with the user. We then start prototyping individual parts of the system from the mock ups and iterate quickly as we go. We don't launch anything until it "feels right." This is often a tough hurdle to jump over and one that must be carefully balanced with making sure something gets out the door fast.
How did you deal with the legal issues of a startup?
We chose to go with an established law firm for our legal needs and couldn't be happier with our decision. They offered (as many do) deferred payment until the first (or second) round of financing. While it is possible to work out many of the details of incorporation or funding documents yourself, it greatly helped us make the process quick so we could concentrate on building product.
What should a startup have 'No Fear' about?
Don't be afraid to make big changes if data shows something isn't working. We've cut or changed entire features because the data didn't align with the usage we expected.
What was Peddl's biggest lesson learned?
Minimize distractions. While the team is small, we find it's often best to outsource things (legal, HR, to some extent IT operations) where we're not domain experts. This allows us to concentrate on product and proving that we're on to something of value.
What was the 'Good, the Bad & the Ugly' of taking Peddl to market?
Good: Shipping a product and getting daily, unsolicited emails from happy customers.
Bad: Keeping servers running 24/7 with a small team (Rackspace helps out a ton here).
Ugly: Localizing to the Euro overnight after we received some press in Italy.
What straight up business advice would give to a startup?
If you're starting now, focus relentlessly on solving a customer problem and continually make sure every action you take improves the solution to that problem. It's very easy to get caught up building technology and lose sight of what really matters to the customer. Many startups also forget that outreach and customer acquisition is (at least) half the battle and release products expecting users to flock to them. So, my advice would be to make sure you're really solving a customer problem and that you're clearly and effectively telling potential users that you have a solution for that problem.
The Rackspace Startup Program thanks our favorite Bulldog, Matthew Blackshaw for taking the time out of his busy schedule to enlighten us on the due diligence essential to building a successful online marketplace startup.

Emily VanCamp to star in Captain America 2?
- Bang Showbiz
- 4 February 2013
'Revenge' actress Emily VanCamp is reportedly in talks with directors Joe and Anthony Russo to star in 'Captain America: The Winter Solider' and is rumoured to be playing the superhero's love interest
Emily VanCamp is reportedly in talks to star in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.
The 'Revenge' actress is being lined up for the lead female role in the sequel to the popular 2011 Marvel film from directors Joe and Anthony Russo, after having beaten actresses including Jessica Brown Findlay, Emilia Clarke and Alison Brie to the part, Deadline reports.
The new film will begin with the Captain (Chris Evans) settling in to modern day America after he helped fight crime alongside fellow superheroes in 2012's 'The Avengers'.
Although Emily's role has not been confirmed, it is thought she will play Sharon Carter - a descendent of the Captain's first love during World War II, Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell).
Sebastian Stan, who plays the hero's friend James Buchanan 'Bucky' Barnes, will be returning to the franchise along with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Toby Jones reprising his role as Dr. Arnim Zola.
'The Hurt Locker' star Anthony Mackie will join the cast as Falcon, alongside fellow newcomer Joe Grillo playing Crossbones.
Scarlett Johansson is also rumoured to make a cameo in the film as her 'Avengers' character Black Widow.
The script has been penned by Christopher Markus and Steven McFeely and is scheduled for release on April 4 2014.

Disasters seemingly have become so commonplace lately that many of us have become desensitized to them. Watching disaster unfold has become like hearing a cacophony of voices on a busy street but not really listening or paying attention to your surroundings. Take a second, and think of the millions that are in need and suffering, and imagine if you were in their shoes, another person's suffering becoming a part of your own.
In Pakistan, about a month ago a natural catastrophe took place, a disaster so massive that a fifth of the country was inundated with water affecting 20 million people, a sizeable death toll, and with long lasting implications. I joined on a volunteer mission with Dr. Ahmad Nakshabendi, who had much experience with aiding victims of the 2005 earthquake, and embarked on a mission to assist based on our expertise.
We assembled a team of five medical students and five physicians, one truck full of medical supplies and another of donated flour and water along with a team of 7 assistants in helping us dispensing medication and delivering supplies to the affected people. Our goal was to attend to five different camps in Thatta, Badin, Dadu, and Sukkur tending to at least 2500 people.
Our destinations were six hours away from Karachi. On the way, we saw countless homes under the flood, children drinking contaminated water, downed power lines, and people sleeping on any available patch of dry land. As they saw our vehicles and supplies, their faces gleamed with light. Our hearts broke and we looked down as the camps were still 3 hours away, where the situation was even more severe. Further along the way, we saw people starving with no food or clean water to drink in sight, just flood water everywhere. It reminded me of a limerick we heard in my youth, "water water everywhere but not a drop to drink".
Upon arrival, we treated as many urgent cases as we could; an epidemic of Scabies, Malaria, Diarrhea, and other infectious disease. We diagnosed and prescribed medication, and dispensed vitamins and bottled water. The other volunteers distributed flour for bread, milk and other necessitates for survival. We departed at dusk back to Karachi, not feeling satisfied as we knew the food we gave was only going to last a few days and we were only able to treat a small fraction of the affected population, not much more than postponing dire hardships for a short period of time.
As soon as we returned to Karachi, we began planning for the next trip and will embark on another aid trip next week. There's such a considerable need for support especially for undernourished children as well as for shelter and access to medical care.
A return to normalcy may be a long and difficult journey but I know it will be possible with the resiliency of the people and support that each of us are able give to the best of our abilities.
it is so unsanitary to have
Long live pakistan, short live politicians
reply to all
Natural v. Man-made disasters leading to environmental refugees.
Heartwarming piece. Thank you
Heartwarming piece. Thank you for taking the time to write about this Dr. Ray! I recently met Dr. Ahmad Nakshabandi, and he described to me the experiences he had in Pakistan, yet many of us only superficially heard about this disaster here in North America. Fortunately, yet unfortunately, he was very modest about his accomplishments and it is incredibly encouraging to know that there are still people like yourselves in this world who are going above and beyond to give back. His energy and visions have compelled my partners and I to partake both physically and financially in other projects he has in mind. Whats unfortunate is the difficulties for physicians and other volunteers to partake in such relief and aid activities, due to the unstable political environment of such places like Pakistan, yet that doesn't seem to deter him nor you.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
DII - "Little Voices"
Artist Bio:
From three time Grammy nominated (for songs co-written and co-produced) multi-Platinum recording artist Dan Spitz, who's sold upwards of 20 million albums (ANTHRAX), and had his song chosen by NASA's 2012 Rover to be played on MARS alongside only nine other artists such as FRANK SINATRA and THE BEATLES, comes a complete re invention of his musical direction once again, breaking barriers never before accomplished within any music areas. DII is Dan Spitz on Weissenborn lap slide guitar and Don Chaffin on vocals.
Dan Spitz has put down his electric guitar and reinvented himself as an artist by learning this rare Weissenborn lap slide instrument played by few, and mastered by only a handful on the planet. In quiet seclusion and secrecy kept by many helping him achieve his goals, Spitz relentlessly had to un-learn old skills, to acquire a new. He has once again achieved a non genre specific music pathway changing avenue that is unique to DII, and a new era of an emotional based musical ride that could make a woman cry or a man feel empowered to achieve. DII is one powerful musical duo.
With long time musical partner, vocalist Don Chaffin administering his soulful and heart felt lyrical avenues of execution, the listener will be instantly taken on a journey so familiar of the greatest singers of all time, yet a sound from this duo is of none present, past, or can be duplicated into the future. DII's lyrical content has the power to touch both a woman's heart, and a man's soul.
DII takes the blues base that heavy metal was derived from and transforms it to "A New Music For A New Era." Being DII is non genre specific, the duo will be playing alongside bands of any and all areas of music, from the hardest of thrash metal's best to the soulful valleys of slide guitar greats, and beyond.
DII is here to bring global awareness of Autism through music and the luxury watch arena (Dan Spitz also holds some of the highest regarded Swiss degrees in micro mechanical engineering and is a Master Watchmaker of Complications Specialist). Dan Spitz is a single father to identical twin sons who are both on the Autism spectrum and his life long goal is to help children through these avenues and enlighten the public to the word Autism. A relentless task of work ethic placed upon him and his heart to do so.
DII will be releasing a 6-song EP along with three masterpiece videos directed by Don Chaffin. A few songs have revisited Dan Spitz' past co-writing work with Anthrax to bring forth a sound in an entirely new way, and the penned originals are an emotional walk through relationship areas and everyday life's struggles and truth. The duo has also written a song that is radio friendly for the Autism community already being spoken of as Autism's anthem arrived, and brings forth Mr.Spitz' real life daily grind with his Autistic twins to the forefront of what makes this artist on a mission do what he does. He wears his heart on his sleeve for others on the spectrum and raises the bar of Autism Awareness in music once again.
About The Video:
Little Voices is a journey of the unspoken words between a parent of an Autistic child and their sibling. The love between the them that can not be put into words. It simply … IS.

Tim was here today to service all four AC units. It takes a long time and endless trips up and down stairs and in and out of house! He was also here recently to help with an evaporator installation for one of the units, which resulted in many hours outside in rain and cold! His work and concentration are amazing! Very pleased with him and his work, and appreciate all the info I learned along the way!read more

Nick and David did an unbelievable job in replacing my spacepak system. Timely, professional and friendly. Highest quality job - exceptional attention to detail. Worked long hours the first day to insure system was cooling before leaving for the day and then returned the next day to balance air flow and recheck everything. Jeff Johnson has also been great through both the sales and installation process quick to follow up and everything. I have never been disappointed with Ravinia service but this experience has been the best by far.read more

Charlie came to my house on October 27, '16. Originally, a different date was scheduled, but Ravinia called to reschedule another day and was very kind to make it close to the original date. Charlie arrived here on time. In fact, he was waiting in my driveway when I got home from work. He was very thorough, very helpful, and is/was always nice to see and talk to. That's why I request that Charlie be the technician to come and do my furnace work. I think that the fees charged are comparable to other companies.read more

Reed arrived on time after calling when he would arrive. He was very polite and informative about what was wrong with the air conditioner and gave me a quote before working on the unit. He also checked the filters and suggested how often we could take care of them to get better air flow from our unit. I will highly recommend your services to friends and use Ravinia for other needs with heating, air conditioning and plumbing.read more

the service man was prompt, courteous, and patient when teaching me how to change the batteries on the thermostat. He was efficient and pleasant. He used coverups on his feet prior to entering any carpeted area. He was thorough and efficient. He cleaned and checked everything so I know that I will be in good shape with the A/C for the summer and fall. I am very pleased.In the fall I will call the office and easily schedule a convenient time for the winter to check & clean the furnace.read more

Saturday at 1:00 I noticed water coming up from the floor drain in the basement, I called Ravinia and was told Ray was on another job, but could be over by 2:00. Needless to say I was thrilled that someone was available so quickly. Within a half hour Ray called me to say he was on his way and would be to my home shortly. When he arrived he was pleasant, remembered being at my house for other service before and he got to work rodding the sewer drain from the street toward the house. We talked while he worked and explained to me that roots are always growing and this maintenance should be done on a regular basis. I truly appreciate the prompt and efficient service on a Saturday afternoon. Thank you Ray and Ravinia Plumbing for being consistently dependable ! Your sincere service is appreciated.read more

I called Ravinia when appliance store technicians, who were installing a new dishwasher, discovered a hose leaking under my kitchen sink. My Ravinia technician, Chuck, arrived within the hour. He was friendly and professional. Chuck gave me the option of letting him try to find parts for my 28 year old faucet or replacing the faucet with a new one. I selected one from his book, someone delivered it within 15 minutes, and Chuck installed it in a short time. Overall, I was very pleased with the experience.read more

Great service from Kevin H., the service technician. He arrived as scheduled, and did a thorough inspection of our furnaces and thermostats.

Kevin is great plumbing professional. He was friendly and courteous. He knew his stuff and systematically problem solved the very slowly draining bathtub which had been a issue for a year. He fixed it. He also quickly took care of a leaking toilet. Also I called on a Sunday an d talked to a live person, got a call from the office on Monday and repair was scheduled for Tuesday. That was fast.read more

You Mean I Get to Watch?bydantemendoza©
Debbie could not wait. She had been building the anticipation within her for several weeks now. Even her boyfriend Paul supported her decision to be with another woman. Debbie counted the days on the calendar until she would be reunited with her special friend Tanya. Tanya had promised her that she would give her immense pleasure in ways Debbie could never dream of.
At that moment, Debbie realized she had found the one. The one who would be gentle with her. The one who would take her to places she once believed were unattainable. The one could make her toes curl when reached her climax. Debbie's nipples throbbed with anticipation.
Debbie prepared herself with her meeting with Tanya that she made a checklist of things she needed before she went to see her. She appreciated Paul's attitude through all this. It gave her a warm feeling inside that Paul supported her choices and would be willing to accompany her on this exciting event.
There was an award for Paul too in all this by getting the opportunity to watch. Hell, he could even capture pictures on his cell phone if he wanted too. It was the least she could do by dragging him along as he always wanted to observe two women together. Debbie made a nervous sigh as she got ready.
Checking herself in the full length mirror one more time, she carefully chose the prettiest undergarments in her closet. Deciding on a matching pair of lacy bra and panties, she slipped them on feeling the wonderful softness against her bare skin. She added the garter belts just for little bit of naughtiness. Deep down she knew Tanya would appreciate it.
The lingerie accentuated her best curves as she wiggled into a sexy spaghetti strapped number complete with high heels and accessories to match. She wore a bright red shade of lipstick so that her lips appeared fuller and curled her lashes so that Tanya would be mesmerized by her beauty. Debbie took one last look in the mirror, satisfied with her work, grabbed her handbag and went out door with Paul.
They drove to high end retailer Blumensaks Neelans as Debbie and Paul made their way past the perfume girls spraying scents like Obsession and Passion. Right now, the only passion that Debbie desired involved Tanya.
They made their way through the throngs of customers until they found her. Tanya. An exotic beauty with long legs, a gorgeous body, and wearing a tight skirt that showed off her best assets. Tanya looked up from what she had been doing and recognized the couple coming toward her. She greeted Debbie with a hug and a kiss.
"Debbie! I'm so glad you're here!" said Tanya.
"Tanya! I have been fantasizing about you for weeks!" answered Debbie.
"Well I certainly shouldn't keep you waiting."
"Please don't. I have been hoping for this moment and I don't think I can wait any longer."
"Don't worry I'll make you feel really special."
"I'm sure you will."
"Let's get started. I'll be right back. I have a very pleasurable surprise for you Debbie. Something to make you feel like a natural woman!"
Debbie and Paul sat down in some chairs nearby as they waited for Tanya to return. Debbie constantly crossed and uncrossed her legs giving the lonely male customers a peep show by a sight of her garter belt or a flash of a leg. She enjoyed being watched and Paul loved that many men in the store desired her.
The blood in his groin began to circulate as he fantasized about Debbie being with other men. Debbie's body shivered with nervous energy guessing what Tanya's pleasurable surprise might be. Already her nipples hardened underneath her lacy bra as mind raced with alluring images that she almost did not notice Tanya coming toward her carrying a box.
"Here's your surprise Debbie!" Tanya smiled as she opened the container.
Inside Debbie stared at its magnificence. It was sleek, huge and gentle to the touch. Across its body from beginning to end displayed its hard pointed sharpness all pink and bright with an enormous width to it. Surely, just by looking at it, there was no way that it could fit inside Debbie but she was woman enough to try. Could it? Would it fit? Size does matter after all.
"Stuart Weitzman pink patent leather open peep toe stiletto pump in size 13!" Tanya finally said. "Do you think you can handle it?"
"Baby, I can handle anything," Debbie purred as she slid it on her foot.
Immediately, a jolt of electricity surged through her body as it caressed her bare skin and move along her spine and at the back of her neck. She felt light as a feather as it coursed through her body. The current brought an incredible ripple of shockwaves as her body surrendered to the temptation of it.
"Mmmmmm. Tanya keep going. Don't stop!" Debbie demanded.
"You wanted it real bad Debbie so I'm going to give it you real good!" smiled Tanya.
"Oooooo Tanya. Yes! That's how I want it!"
"Honey, that's just the foreplay. It going to get even better. I still owe you a kiss!"
"Oooooo Tanya! Don't tease me! Kiss me already!"
Tanya retired once again to the back as Debbie allowed her body to cream in the Stuart Weitzmans. The bulge in Paul's pants started to increase as he watched his girlfriend adjust her garter belt as she twirled around in the stilettos. He loved being a voyeur and enjoyed watching Debbie let go of her inhibitions. This really turned him on. Tanya came back out with a different box.
"Like I said I want to make you feel real good. Now for your special kiss from me!"
"Mmmmm Tanya. Yes please."
"Manolo Blahniks black ballet flats! This style is called The Kiss."
"Ooooooo Tanya! That feels sooooo good! I finally have been kissed by a girl and I like it!"
"Now let me stretch it out for you so that it fits nice and tight! Yes that's it! Slide it in with those folds! Slide it in!"
"Mmmmmm Tanya! This is amazing!"
Immediately, the electrical surge flowed right threw her teasing her skin and causing her to flush in embarrassment. Already beads of sweat began to form around her forehead, her back and on her stomach as goosebumps displayed on her skin. Tanya was really working her good and she refused to let go of this emotion. Meanwhile Paul hid his huge erection with the Stuart Weitzman box as he watched the exchange between Debbie and Tanya. It felt like heaven.
"Debbie you're feeling really good but I don't think quite you're full yet!"
"Fill me up Tanya! Fill me up!"
"You're one greedy woman! Well then, how about if you take on two of them!"
"No Tanya! Not two! It won't possible work! I'm not sure I can handle it!"
"Oh yes! You're going to try on two for size and like it!"
At this point, the sensation had been too much. Two at the same time? She could not possibly handle it but she had too since she got herself in this predicament and now she had to endure it. The perspiration dripped through her skin as she felt the electric heat ran through her teasing her nipples and stroking her breasts with tremendous fervor.
Her clit quivered with delight as she felt herself open up to this feeling of euphoria that Tanya kept putting her through. Paul silently jizzed in his jockey shorts as he kept watching Debbie writhe in pleasure but once again made sure that the Stuart Weitzman boxed kept him covered from exhibiting his wet spot.
"Jimmy Choo. Sandalwood color. I present the open toe wedge and the strappy espadrille!"
"OOOOOOOOOH Tanya! No more! I can't take anymore!"
"Just one more! Come on you know you want it!"
"I can't hold on much longer. I'm almost there!"
"Baby I'm going to take you there! You like being a bad girl?"
"Mmmmmmm. Yes I like being a bad girl!"
"Well bad girls need to be put in bondage!"
"Yes bondage me Tanya! Bondage me! Ooooooh! I'm a bad girl!"
Tanya made a quick dash in and out and returned with a final black and silver box. Debbie could instantly feel her release even before she opened the box.
"Debbie! Let me present to you the limited edition Dolce and Gabbana gold gladiator sandals called The Bondage!"
Debbie immediately soaked her Victoria Secret panties as soon as Tanya put her in bondage. She took a minute to regain her composure as she did a walk of shame to fetch her American Express card from her purse while Paul bathed in an afterglow moment. Tanya carried her five purchases to the register.
"Debbie that will be $8362.74." Tanya state and swiped her credit card. "I'm sorry Debbie you card is maxed out!"
Debbie's amazing bliss came to a screeching halt. She felt empty, lonely, used, and unsatisfied.

About this image
About this Publication TitleCivil War Soldiers - Confederate - Misc
Arranged by soldier's surnames, these are images of card abstracts and personal papers never filed within a confederate soldier's original service record file. Papers were collected by the War Department and then placed in this series when their proper filing was uncertain or there was no other place to file them. The usual reason was that the information was insufficient or contained discrepancies and could not be positively identified with any soldier for whom there was a compiled service record.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Little Jacob
Head over and visit Little Jacob at his place to get this job. This is the first time you'll meet the much-spoken about Badman, Little Jacob's associate. These two stoners want you to take care of some rival dealers in the area who think they can sell in their territory on their street corners without getting a cut of the profits. Little Jacob will translate for the incomprehensible Badman. Even though Badman can't be understood even with the help of subtitles, you'll still want to make sure to employ them to understand the directions from the more easily understood Little Jacob.
With instructions handed down, it's time to head to South Bohan. Getting there will be easy with your GPS, as it will take you out of Dukes and up to Bohan via Charge Island and the East Borough Bridge. Once in Bohan, you'll head to the Fortside sector, where the dealer is slinging his wares on Wallkill Avenue. Be sure to approach with care, and don't worry about what car you take to the scene, as you won't be needing it anyway.
Little Jacob is clearly angry for a reason, because these rival dealer have good product and are going through it like it was nothing. So much so, in fact, that when Niko arrives to check out the dealer, the dealer begins walking to his supplier's place to pick up even more. You'll be ordered to follow on foot, so abandon your car and begin to follow him, but be sure to keep your distance so you don't spook him. He'll take you through a few rough alleyways at varying speeds, ultimately leading you through a building and into the back of another building on Joliet Street.
If he saw you, he would have ran to his location, so you need to make sure you're on him in this scenario, since he's moving a lot quicker. You'll have to climb all the way to the top floor. Here, you'll find a locked door that you can break open. This apartment holds the lesser dealer and his two well-armed suppliers, and they're ready for a gunfight. Break out your best weapon, preferably an uzi, and go to work on these clowns, taking out the one on the right side of the room before dealing with the better-covered ones at the back end of the apartment. When they're all killed, Niko will call Little Jacob automatically and let him know of the success.

Video: Russian Army Chorus Covers Adele's "Skyfall"
Nigel Campbell | August 29, 2013
Does a group of Russian male soldiers performing a stunning cover of Adele's "Skyfall" count as gay propaganda??
Let's hope not because the Russian Army Chorus, also known as the Alexandrov Ensemble Official Armed Forces Choir, is killing it and the lead vocalist is singing for his life!! (Hopefully not for real??)
Watch! You'll be glad you did.
Beautiful, right? In a bizarre, weirdly goosebumpy way??
Think about how much more of this the Russians could enjoy if they stopped messing with the gays!!

Second thought : "On these days, this could form the basis of a good patent lawsuit."
I really spend too much time on OSnews :-(
That login screen has a history both at Apple and NeXT. No lawsuit. Get real.
And NEXT's login screen itself was inspired in a way from UNIX's, which in turn was inspired by pre-UNIX mainframe OSs', which in turn were probably inspired by authentication procedures before the days of computers...
Every design out there is based on a combination of earlier designs. Yet patent laws, which basically permit one to say at a given point of time "I alone have invented this" exist, because some people in the industry still haven't realized how fundamentally collaborative the creation of a new design always is.
Since the iPhone's bezel could be patented, it wouldn't surprise me that a login screen composed of a centered square picture, with a name underneath, and a password box underneath, with extra controls in the bottom, could be a patentable design.
Edited 2011-05-17 07:20 UTC
You hit the point here. Fact is that knowledge is cumulative and how much we modify them to create something we could call new is totally arbitrary. If we look closely on literature, arts or science we well see that all over the process.
Now, I understand that some pieces of literature and art may be covered by copyright and some pieces of the various fields of "engineering" may be covered by patents.
Software is something in the middle and has been abusing of a system thought to comply with things way more "elemental".
The only solution is "reform". Problem is, most of the big/medium or even some small users of current system just do not want to touch it. It will take time, but as happened on other social levels, it is unavoidable.
