It's sneaking up on me again. The urge to just find some backwood gravel road and ramble for a bit. Somewhere with big sky and rollers. Somewhere without a lot of traffic and people. Maybe somewhere with leaves turning when there's a touch of chill in the air. And if it has a good cheeseburger waiting at the end of it, it'll be perfect.
I feel a bout of map reading and using Google Earth coming on. I'm searching for my Holy Grail.

Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees the World
by Clara Parkes
Stewart, Tabori and Chang
$19.95, hardcover
For 15 years, Clara Parkes has been traveling the world in search of yarn. You all know the story: she left high tech-life in the Bay Area and moved to Maine with her love to start a career in yarn. Because of this leap, this bravery, we are lucky to have one of the most unique, honest and educational voices that speaks about yarn and knitters today.
This book follows Clara on her travels to New Mexico, Iceland, Portland, Edinburgh and always home to Maine. She teaches in person, she attends tours and fiber festivals and becomes a knitterly tv star. All along the way, she shows and tells about the curious and creative knitting community and about her own connection with knitting and yarn.
We learn about her fears and neuroses, about her successes and joy. Most importantly how all of this helped her forge her own company, her own way with dedication, hard work and an unflagging conviction in beautiful, useful yarn that is grown, processed, milled and dyed in the United States.
If anyone can finally break the curse of the media talking about granny knitting and "knitting is the new yoga", it's Clara Parkes with this book. No other writer humanizes knitters and the knitting world like Clara. In her hands we escape the cardboard cut out that the media keep trying to make us.
by Donna Druchunas and June L. Hall
Double Vision Press
$34.99, hard cover
Lithuanian Knitting is a labor of love. Donna Druchunas and June L. Hall studied, visited, interviewed and detailed the knitting of Lithuania for years before ever starting this book. What started as a quest to learn about ancestry for both authors ended up changing their lives and enriching the lives of many knitters in Lithuania.
They traveled through Lithuania together and apart, visiting museums in cities and individual knitters in the country. They started craft co-ops and taught spinning. As they learned about their heritage, they reminded many crafters in the country of their history.
There is so much in this book. It's part travelogue, part history of the country, part history of craft. There is a fascinating section on the sheep and wool of Lithuania and 27 patterns for mittens, gloves, socks and wristers based on knitwear they viewed in markets and museums. The book is packed with photographs historic and modern.
This is a beautiful book both physically and in what it represents. It is a tour de force in independent publishing.
Refined Knits
by Jennifer Wood
Jennifer Wood's designs are feminine without being fussy. She pays attention to fit and design and has a eye for charming details.
Refined Knits is her first book and it showcases the some amazing designs. The book is sweater-heavy which is what Jennifer does best – 10 of the 18 patterns are garments with the rest shawls and smaller accessories. The book is broken down into three sections: Cables, Lace, and Aran Lace. The patterns are on the complex side. There are a handful that a beginning knitter could make, but most are wonderfully detailed and shaped with intricate stitch patterns and multiple things going on at the same time.
All of the stitch patterns are charted, many with more than one chart. Jennifer talks about being influenced by Japanese stitch dictionaries and that is part of what gives her designs a fresh feeling. She has perfectly matched her yarns to her designs, semi solid yarns with depth of color that show off stitch patterns but don't compete with the over all design. I found the studio photography for this book to be gorgeous, wonderfully matching the garments in feeling.
This is a book from which I would happily knit every design, and I could too, because Jennifer's sizes go up to 2x-3x.
If I had to pick a few favorites they would be the Idril Pullover with its neckline ringed cables and graceful waist shaping; the Ada Pullover – a completely reversible cable pullover; the Vivian Sleeveless Pullover with a perfectly draped neckline; and the Camelia Pinecone Cardigan with a complex lace neckline.
New Directions in Sock Knitting
by Ann Budd
What a clever compendium of socks! Ann Budd gathered 18 designers and gave them the challenge to design socks in a direction of their choosing, top down, toe up or the always delightful and mind bending, other.
While most of the socks are knit in the usual direction – top down or toe up – there is something different about each pair of socks. It could be interesting color use, a crafty toe, knitting one sock inside the other, intarsia in the round, a heel without heel flap pick ups or a heel made of triangles.
The Other Types of Construction socks are mind melting. Not one of the 7 patterns are written in a single direction. Many also have intricate stitch patterns and color patterns and sometimes both. It was pleasure just reading the patterns and visualizing what was going on.
All socks are worked in a fine gauge and are written for at least two sizes. As you might expect from Ann Budd and the sock designers in this book, there are copious notes and tips to help you through each of the socks.
This book proves that sock designers are the exquisite thinkers of the knitting world.
by Wendy Bernard
Stewart, Tabori and Chang
$29.95, hardcover over spiral binding
When I opened the package with this book, an old disco song (yes, I'm that old) popped into my head , the Andrea True Connection singing "More, more, more, how do you like it?" [need the earworm ?] While Andrea was singing about love, I feel the same way about stitch patterns.
I love this and its predecessor. Having stitch patterns at the ready to be knit in any direction is so freeing. More than once I have chosen not to use a stitch pattern because I didn't want to monkey with it to change it from bottom up to top down. I'm lazy like that... it's a gift.
Along with 150 stitch patterns written out and charted to be worked bottom up, top down, flat or in the round are 6 patterns designed by author Wendy Bernard. A pattern for each of the stitch pattern chapters: Knits and Purls, Ribs, Twisted, Slipped and Fancy, Cables, Lace and Mosaics. There are also 3 recipe patterns for socks a hat and a triangular shawl, plain patterns to insert your own stitch patterns. All three patterns are written for top down or bottom up construction.
Finally there is (thank you, Wendy) an index of stitch patterns by stitch count. Excuse me, I need to go swatch.
More Lovely Knitted Lace
by Brooke Nico
Lark Books
In her latest exploration of lace, Brooke Nico works with shape: circles, triangles, squares, rectangles. She has designed four projects in each shape – a garment or two, a shawl or two and an accessory.
In this collection, Brooke has some traditional lace pieces that use fine yarns which make the final pieces very open. The pieces that made me stop and read the patterns were the ones with interesting uses and placements of lace.
The Amaryllis shawl is designed with entrelac lace. The Montauk raglan sweater uses chunky yarn and lace in the raglan shaping, sides, cuff and collar only. The Primrose tunic is knit in alternating color panels. The Lea sleeveless top looks fitted but there is no shaping in the knitting – the lace motif does all of the work.
I like that Brooke doesn't just use fine yarns for lace; she uses a variety of weights all the way up to bulky. The Wanderlust shawl, knit from bulky Cascade Eco, is just perfect for a quick lace knit with a lot of visual impact.
The frontmatter of the book proves again that Brooke is not just a fine designer, she's an excellent teacher and a shop owner that interacts with knitters every day. She speaks thoroughly on lace techniques – cast on, bind off, nupps – and includes good information about yarn, gauge and lace.
60 Quick Cotton Knits
Editors of Sixth & Spring Books
Sixth&Spring Books
The latest in Sixth&Spring Books' collaboration with Cascade Yarns is a collection showcasing Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima yarn. Ultra Pima comes in two weights – Dk and Sport – and is machine washable and dryable when label directions are followed.
A good mixture of patterns covers both the knitters that use cotton yarn to wear in hot weather and the knitters that use cotton year round because of wool allergies, ethical preferences, or just because they like it more than wool. There are tanks and tees, lacey shawls, hats and cowls. The designs that caught my eye are The Woven Back Tank, Slipped Stitch Bag, Candy Striped Hat and Floret Lace Shawl.
There's not a lot of stranded colorwork or cables in the patterns. Color is presented mostly as stripes and in handpainted yarn; texture with all-over textured stitches rather than cables. Both good choices because of the inelasticity of cotton and the extra weight cables and stranded colorwork add to knitting.
I wish this book had a few tips about working with cotton yarns, to educate knitters and to keep them from possibly being frustrated. This from a woman whose first sweater was 100% cotton and a disaster!
by Debbie Bliss
Lark Books
$29.95, hardcover
Over the decades Debbie Bliss has been designing, she has gathered a lot to say about the hows and whys of knitting. All of that knowledge has been gathered into one chunky and well-thought-out book.
This book has gorgeous clear photos with lots of detailed illustrations. There is lots of white space around words and pictures to be able to see and read things while working on a technique.
Many technique books have things so tightly crammed in, it's often hard to find exactly what I'm looking for or knit along while I'm following instructions.
The type of things covered in this knitting encyclopedia are choosing yarns and needles; basic color theory; casting on (9 ways); binding off (10 ways); shaping; how to do a variety of stitches – lace, cable, texture, bobbles, color knitting, finishing, embellishing; and trouble shooting.
Advanced knitters will have to look to other books for their level of knitting knowledge; this book focuses broadly on the basics. This book is excellent for a new or newish knitter, and very good all the way through intermediate level knitting.
by Debbie Zawinski
Schoolhouse Press
When I started reading this book, I fell instantly under its spell. I wanted to race through it in one sitting, but I made myself read only one chapter a day. Slowing down probably stopped me from booking a trip to Scotland right after I finished.
This is the story of Debbie Zawinsk,i a Welsh spinner, knitter and lifelong walker. She came up with a plan to trek Scotland seeking out sheep native to the country, picking their fleece in the wild, spinning it and knitting the yarn into socks.
The book is full of stories of a woman on a mission and a whole country of people who helped her reach her goal. It is lovingly illustrated with hand drawn maps and photos taken by Debbie on her trips to Scotland.
Each chapter of the book represents one part of Scotland and a sheep breed, and has a sock pattern inspired by the breed and the people she meets on that part her journey.
Her storytelling is straightforward, but captures the nuance and magic of history and place. She doesn't sugar coat her frustration or the bad weather, but adventure is only worthwhile and transformative when there are challenges.
This book is an irresistible call to have your own fiber adventures.
Mini Spindles
These are tiny lightweight spindles for spinning luxury and fine, fine yarns.
I have a Honeycomb whorl (orange) with a 5" shaft & a Lotus whorl (blue) with 6.5" shaft. They weigh 10 and 11 grams.
These spindles are small and light enough that the whorls are pressure fitted on the shafts, but still easy to put on and remove.
If 10 or 11 grams isn't light enough for you, see the tiny ball bearings that rim weight the whorls? They can be removed and reconfigured to make a lighter spindle. I think that is crazy smart.
These spindles spin and spin fast. They are like little hummingbirds. I spun some alpaca silk on the 5" spindles and some merino/silk top on the 6.5" spindle. I had to speed up my hands to catch up with the 5" when it was a full spin. The 6.5" I had a little bit of an issue with wobble, but then realize that the whorl wasn't as snug as it should be - easy fix and super speedy straight spinning after that.
The are great take-along spindles, easy to break down and tuck into a bag or a pocket. The small one even fits into my planner.
How to Spin: From Choosing a Spinning Wheel to Making Yarn
by Beth Smith
Storey Publishing
This book delivers just what the title promises. If you want to learn to spin on a wheel, you can buy this book, follow the directions and have yarn at the end, yarn that you like and yarn that you can use. It is an excellent beginners' guide to spinning.
Beth takes you through treadling, drafting, how wheels work and how to adjust them, fiber preparations, drafting methods, plying, finishing and tips for yarn consistency. All of the big things are touched on, just enough to get the idea and practice the skill, but not so much that it's confusing.
This is a wheel spinning book, no spindles here. I don't want the spindle-excited spinners to be disappointed.
While this is a book for beginners on how to get started, it would make a great book for most spinners to tuck in their spinning bag for quick reminders.
by Esther Rogers
Download, $24.99
In 90 minutes, you can learn to make art yarn. Esther gives the down and dirty to making highly textured art yarn and she lets her love for spinning and teaching shine in this video.
What exactly will you learn from this dvd? In a word, lots. It's an overview of her greatest spinning hits. I was lucky enough to take a class with Esther last summer, and this is exactly what I needed as a refresher.
Half of the video is about core spinning. Esther starts with the basics and builds bigger and wilder yarns. She talks about cores and how to spin different types of fibers and preps into bold corespun yarns. After cores, she moves to tail spinning and plying including insertions like feathers and chains.
Most of this video is shot over the shoulder, which is perfect here – watching her hands while spinning along is my favorite way to learn with a video.
This is a great introduction to big and bold art yarns. Esther helps your creativity explode!
by Interweave Editors
The thing I like the most about crochet is the visual and literal texture. Even the plainest stitches look alive. In this collection of 18 blankets there is a lot of texture. Most of the blankets are worked in worsted or sportweight yarn.
Blankets are practical things, but this collection shows that they don't have to be boring or dull.
They can be bursting with color like Maryse Roudier's Happy Hexagons. They can have mixed texture like Marly Bird's Damask Afghan. They can combine color and texture like the mesmerizing Urchons and Limpets blanket by Kathy Merrick. They can play with color like Leigh Radford's Behrens Colorblock.
Crochet often looks more complex than it is, but many of these are suitable for a determined beginner. This collection is perfect keep away spring's chill and for on-the-go motif making.
Fun & Fantastic Textured Crochet Stitches
with Beth Graham
Fun & Fantastic Textured Crochet Stitches is a seven-part class that teaches stitch patterns that add texture to your garment or accessories.
The written PDF instructions included in the class materials give 20 stitch patterns, including puffs, bobbles, ribbing, popcorns, and more. I was actually surprised at how many there were.
You definitely get a lot of bang for the buck with this class. The written instructions also include patterns for two dishcloths, and a scarf or cowl made using combinations of the stitch patterns. I was especially taken with the cowl which Beth shows in the class. It's gorgeous, crocheted in a beautiful shade of orange with fingering-weight yarn. I must make one!
Beth is an excellent teacher and provides lots of tips and advice, including how not to get lost in a pattern or lose stitches (some can be difficult to find), and she demonstrates each stitch using clear language about what she's doing and why. While I watched her teach the different patterns, I couldn't resist picking up a hook and yarn and working them right along with her. She suggests while practicing the stitch patterns, to work them into squares to make a set of colorful dishcloths, or sew them together to make a blanket.
Because she explains each pattern so thoroughly, this class would be perfect for beginners who know the basics and want to branch out into new frontiers with their crocheting. But more experienced crocheters will learn a lot too, and may be inspired to create their own designs. I know I was!
10 Granny Squares 30 Bags: Purses, Totes, Pouches, and Carriers from Favorite Crochet Motifs
by Margaret Hubert
Creative Publishing International
Granny squares may have a reputation of being, well, 'granny-like', but there's a good reason why they're the bedrock of the crochet world. The squares are small and self-contained, making them a great take-along craft when you're on the go. And with an infinite number of color combinations and textured yarns available, you can completely transform the look of each one, giving you endless possibilities for projects.
In 10 Granny Squares 30 Bags, you're given 10 granny square patterns in both written instructions and charts. Each square is then used in three different variations of bags. The projects range from small amulet bags requiring just two squares – cell phone and tablet holders, – with larger handbags and totes using up to twenty squares. At the back of the book there are detailed instructions along with helpful photographs that show you how to join squares (something I used to struggle with as a new crocheter) , techniques on adding zippers, several ways to line the bags so they keep their shape, and more.
If you've got the basic crochet stitches under your belt, there is a lot to be excited about when looking through the projects in this book. First, gauge doesn't really matter. As long as your crocheting is consistent, you should be able to make any of the beautiful bags here. But even a seasoned crocheter like me is inspired when I see projects using techniques I've never tried before presented in such a clear and instructive way.
I was especially taken with the zippered pencil case made with the Pretty Posy square. It would be a cute gift for the students in my life, but I want to make one for myself to hold all my crochet hooks. I also loved the market bag made with Popcorn and Lace squares crocheted with cotton crochet thread. Not only would it hold a lot, it would be the prettiest bag at the farmer's market. In addition, I appreciated the many different styles of bags, from boho chic, to sophisticated, to whimsical. There's definitely something for everyone here.
Pen to Thread: 750+ Hand-Drawn Embroidery Designs to Inspire Your Stitches
by Sarah Watson
This book is filled with adorable and funky things to stitch: animals, food, office supplies, borders, plants, tool and lots more. Sarah's style is loose, exciting and fun.
I can tell that Sarah stitches as well as draws – her motifs leave enough space for thread of all sizes and enough room for the stitcher to be inspired by different stitches. While most of these would work best on fabric, there are a few big and open enough to stitch on knitting without enlarging them too much.
The frontmatter of the book is 30 pages that cover the basics: thread and fabric, tools, transfer techniques, basic stitches, choosing colors and how to get started without being overwhelmed (hint, start small).
There are 750 objects to stitch and the book comes with a CD containing all of the drawings, making it easy to print and transfer.
What will I stitch first: the spinning wheel, the light bulbs or the skeleton keys?

This years Rumble had the tag line "one vs all", as Roman Reigns had to defend his title in the largest match of the year. The pre-show featured a fatal four way tag match, with the winners getting a place in the Rumble. Mark Henry and Jack Swagger would pick up the win in a very uneventful match, with the standout moments being Damian Sandows return to the ring and Mark Henry responding to sexual chocolate chants by shaking his hips.
The Rumble kicked off big with the I.C. title last man standing match between Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose. The match was entertaining, with some good spots like Owens hitting the cannonball on Ambrose against the time keeper's area, then some nice use of chairs and tables. The main problem I had with this match was the predictability; you knew what was gonna happen two steps ahead of time. The ending also felt lackluster, with Ambrose pushing Owens off the top rope through two tables. You know these two could do so much more in this stipulation, but the PG shackles prevent them from letting loose, unfortunately.
Next up saw the tag team champions the New Day take on the Uso's with Xavier Woods bringing out the latest member of the New Day, Francesca 2. This whole match was a delight, with both teams performing above and beyond, but the New Day just keep taking it to the next level. Some of the reversals they performed were technically beautiful. Big E is an absolute beast with his spear through the ropes, then the finish with Big E catching Jey in mid super splash for the big ending was superb, giving them a well earned win.
The rubber match between Alberto Del Rio and Kalisto was up next, with both men having a title win a piece. Del Rio was putting up the U.S. title to show he truly is the best Mexican wrestler in the WWE. This match was again enjoyable, not knowing what was going to happen, or who was gonna win, which always adds to any match. Both men had a great match, minus one slip up during a sunset flip-esque move by Kalisto saw him take a nasty fall, landing straight onto the top of his head. Both men had multiple near falls, and you were just waiting for the big finish, with each man escaping possible ending moves, with the end coming after Del Rio removed a turn buckle cover but ultimately ended up paying for it. Taking a hurricanrana into the exposed turnbuckle then the solita del sol gave Kalisto the win and crowed him the new U.S. champion.
The "divas" were up next with Charlotte defending her title against Becky Lynch. Becky was strong out the gates, only losing her momentum when Ric Flair grabbed a cheeky kiss, which earned him a slap from Becky but gave Charlotte the opportunity to take control. The match would continue to go back and fourth through out, but Ric would again distract Becky after she locked in the disarm-her, forcing her to break the lock then losing the match of off a spear by Charlotte. After the match, Charlotte would attack Becky, but this brought out the Boss Sasha Banks. After some back and fourth between the two, making you think they might be cool, Sasha hit the Banks Statement on Charlotte, putting Sasha in the frame for a match.
Now for the actual Royal Rumble match. I'm gonna list the entrants and their eliminations first, then put my thoughts at the end. I was pulling for Brock Lesnar to win the rumble, with Layla hoping Owens could over come his early loss to win the whole thing.
1st-Roman Reigns Eliminated 28th by Triple H

28th-Dolph Ziggler Eliminated 24th by Triple H
29th-Sheamus Eliminated 27th by Reigns
30th-Triple H Winner of the Rumble
So the Rumble had some nice spots, surprisingly with Truth grabbing a ladder thinking the title would be up there. Kofi got thrown over the top rope but landed on Big E's shoulders, who then carried him around to cheers from the crowd. Then the response for A.J. was awesome, and he had a good run in the Rumble but couldn't hit the Styles Clash unfortunately. On the down side, the League of Nations jumped Reigns early on: pulling him under the bottom rope to beat him up then not throwing him back in to the dogs was beyond infuriating for me. The Wyatts got it right, jumping Brock then throwing him out. Why couldn't Sheamus and his goons figure it out? I do feel the Rumble has lost some of it's charm, as everything is leaked nowadays. Also I feel Triple H winning shows how little faith they have in the current roster to hold the title, even if it only temporary gives someone a shot. Give us something shocking - it's what the fans want.
All in all, a really good show with all the matches being well worked by everyone involved, but the Rumble still leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. It wasn't as bad as last year, but it shows the company still isn't in sync with the common fan. Final rating 7/10. Richee

An airman from RAF Cranwell is hoping to enlist local support to make him the new Milk Tray man.
Bosses at chocolate giants Cadbury's have been running commercials seeking to reprise the 1970s/80s advertising icon, but for a more modern audience and even celebrities have been getting in line for the job.
Now Flight Lieutenant Alun Pepper, who last year won the UK's Manliest Man title with Men's Fitness magazine, has launched his bid to use it as a platform to raise awareness of testicular cancer.
The fast jet navigator said: "I won the Manliest Man contest with a huge public vote of about 23,000 and have got a good following on social media campaigning for testicular cancer. You have to be nominated for the Milk Tray role and I got sent loads of links. I didn't think much of it at first, but then thought, why not?"
A testicular cancer survivor himself, he has entered purely to raise awareness of the disease and educate people about the symptoms and treatments available. He was diagnosed with the disease in 2006 but made a full recovery and returned to flying duties within two months, before taking up a post at RAF college Cranwell.
Having got through the first round, he enlisted the help of a local film maker to produce a Youtube video to raise awareness of his bid. He even managed to pull in a favour with the Red Arrows to include one of their trade mark Cupid's arrow moves at the end of the video. You can view his video here
Flt Lt Pepper said: "I'm hoping people power may help persuade them to take me to the final for casting in London on December 15. If readers want to support me they could tweet '@cadburyUK @alunpepper for #newmilktrayman', that would be great."
In his tongue-in-cheek video the airman points that it might be easier for advertising bosses to teach a real-life action man to act, instead of an actor to be an action man, as well as raising awareness of a worthy cause.
He said: "I have abseiled, skydived, flown fast jets all over the world, been swimming with sharks and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro as well as doing kickboxing in Thailand and studying martial arts in Japan."
Flt Lt Pepper added: "I do a lot with the John Egging Trust and a lot of school awareness visits.
"Hopefully Cadbury's will see my video and see me for the final. Whatever happens I have already had a couple of thousand views of the video, so if nothing else it has raised awareness."

Well what do you say about two people who were so easy to work with. I found Joe thru a friend when we lost our boy Bean to Lymphoma. It was like it was meant to be whe we 1st spoke won the phone, it just felt right. After months of waiting and many emails, phone calls and texts the day finally arrived. We arrived at Pat & Joe's home to find Joe standing on the porch and Boykin parents and puppies there to greet us - what a great site. From the first few minutes until later in the day after having lunch with them and other puppy family's it was a wonderful experience. I so appreciate all of the time they spent with us and the the pups, they are special people. Our pup Reed (named for the reed in a duck call) is at home and being spoiled rotten. I would recommend Joe & pat for a pup or if yo just have questions as I am sure they would be happy to talk with you with any Boykin questions. Thanks again Mr. Joe and hope to see you again soon.

We first met joe frick when he went out of his way to come show us a puppy and the mom(toots) and dad (jackson). We fell in love immediately. We met pat frick when we came to their home to pick up puppy (memphis). Both are great people and spent time with us to play with all the dogs and give us alot of wisdom on caring for a boykin spaniel. We love memphis and want to thank them for our new addition to the family.my wife and I recommend Pawleys Island Boykin's and look forward to seeing them again.

We are the proud Mama & Papa of our sweet Maslow who is now around 5 months old and we could not ask for more! He is everything that we expected and more - beautiful, loving, and incredibly smart!
Joe and Pat Frick were an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end of the process and kept us throughly updated and in-the-loop for every step along the way. Maslow is the handsome product of Jack and Toots, and having met both of them, we can't imagine a better pair to make quintessential Boykin puppies. They are both beautiful, smart, and friendly Boykins.
I have and will always recommend Joe and Pat as breeders to anyone seeking a Boykin. We don't live near them, yet they made every accommodation for us. Joe was prompt to return emails, answer the phone, and loves to chat about everything! We are thankful for the relationship that we developed with the Frick's in this process, and love our Maslow that came out of it. Much thanks to Pawley's Island Boykins!

We are the proud owners of "Piper"! A female Boykin Spaniel from Breeders Joe and Pat Frick of Pawleys Island SC. She is a perfect example of a Boykin. Lots of energy and a loving pet! Joe and Pat are outstanding to work with from start to finish with lots of updates, videos and photos of your new puppy. They truly do this out of love for the breed. Our pup is now 3 months old. We picked her up in early Sept 2016 and she was completely house trained. Not one accident to date! Healthy, strong and happy. I could not be more pleased. Thank you Joe and Pat!

As I type, our sweet 7 week old Drake is having a puppy dream in my lap! To say that we've been pleased to add one of Joe and Pat's puppies to our family would be an understatement! When we decided that we wanted to get a puppy, talking me into getting a Boykin Spaniel was not a difficult task for my fiancé! He always does extensive research when making any kind if purchase and of course this was no different! Having found Pawley's Island Boykins, talking to Joe myself, and after one visit to their home and seeing their beautiful dogs and puppies, our choice was made! Through the entire process, of Toots pre-pregnancy thru birth and beyond, we were kept up to date with frequent emails, calls, videos and the like. We were made to feel part of the family, and we look forward to sharing a bond for years to come! It's only been a week, but already Drake has added so much joy to our lives and we can't stop gawking at how gorgeous (I mean, handsome) he is! If you're considering a Boykin, you've come to the right place!

Purchased our first Boykin "trigger" from Joe and Pat and we can not say enough about the dogs and the Fricks. Trigger is one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen. Again we can not express what a pleasure it was to deal with Pat and Joe.

Daisy and Jack's 2012 puppy, Dixie
As the owner of a new puppy from the 2012 litter I would like to say that it was a pleasure dealing with Joe and Pat. Joe's enthusiasm for the Boykin breed is contagious. My puppy is a joy The natural hunting ability of Jack and Daisy was wonderful to watch. The friendships made will endure through our beautiful Boykins.

I had the most amazing experience dealing with Joe and Pat (Pawley's Island Boykins). They are such quality people and raise the best, most balanced, beautiful Boykins. I met Joe and Pat when Daisy was still pregnant with this litter. I was amazed at how intelligent Daisy and Jack were and of course, they are about the best looking Boykins I have ever seen. I found myself among the lucky few to have the pleasure of owning one of their pups a few weeks later and I was beyond elated.
The whole process was fantastic especially because Joe and Pat were so good at keeping me informed with emails and pictures and videos as the pups grew. Joe and Pat are so kind and friendly and allowed my whole family to visit the litter on several occasions, which was so much fun. My boykin puppy surprises me each day with his intelligence and determination to retrieve. We are having so much fun with him. I highly reccommend Pawley's Island Boykins.

First I would like to start off with saying that it was a pleasure dealing with the breeders Pat and Joe Frick. Everything they said turned out to be true. Gina is now 5 months old and a pleasure to own. She is healthy, sound, and won a 1st place blue ribbon in the 1st field trial she and I ever entered, beating dogs three times her age. She gets a long with our pets, including our two sphinx cats, which are her favorites, and our Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She is an excellent swimmer and retriever. She's very willing to please. We are extremely happy with her, that we are purchasing a male from the next litter. We are very impressed with this breed, and the breeders who bred them, the Fricks. If anyone has any questions, you can call my husband Steve, at 631-872-7973.

London: Coming soon: A Star Trek-style medical scanner, say scientists. And, as a major step towards achieving its goal, an international team has already developed a new way of creating a type of radiation known as Terahertz (THz) or T-rays, the `Nature Photonics` journal reported.
These rays if used in security detectors could help in the development of futuristic hand-held medical scanners, say the scientists.
In their research, the scientists from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research in Singapore and Imperial College London in the UK, have made T-rays into a stronger and directional beam than was previously thought possible and have efficiently produced T-rays at room-temperature conditions.
This breakthrough would allow future T-ray systems to be smaller, more portable, easier to operate, and much cheaper, say the scientists.
According to them, the T-ray scanner and detector could provide part of the functionality of a Star Trek-like medical "tricorder", a portable sensing, computing and communications device, since the waves are capable of detecting biological phenomena such as raised blood flow around tumorous growths.
Future scanners could also perform fast wireless data communication to transfer a high volume of information on the measurements it makes, say the scientists in a release by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research in Singapore.
T-rays are waves in the far infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum that have a wavelength hundreds of times longer than visible light. Such waves are already in use
in airport security scanners, prototype medical scanning devices and in spectroscopy systems for materials analysis.
T-rays can also sense molecules such as those present in cancerous tumours and living DNA as every molecule has its unique signature in the THz range, and can also be used to detect explosives or drugs.
Team member Stefan Maier said: "T-rays promise to revolutionise medical scanning to make it faster and more convenient, potentially relieving patients from the inconvenience of complicated diagnostic procedures and the stress of waiting for accurate results."

In the November Issue of OPM UK, Naughty Dog has revealed some of the themes that will be featured in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Nathan Drake's story this time will focus on the ramifications of choosing between his passion and those he loves.
Speaking on the themes, Neil Druckmann, Creative Director and Writer for the game said:
"With Uncharted 4, as we were building it we were realising more and more what the theme is: it's that balance between pursuing your passions and being with the ones you love, and what happens when you have to choose between those two things"
Continuing, he goes on to say:
"Is there a way to reconcile that? That's the message of this game, and everything is constructed around that very simple concept."
With Uncharted 4 being the final game for Nathan Drake, we can see what his choice appears to be. Whether this is forced on him or not though will be revealed in the game itself.
Adding a finality to the tale of Nathan Drake is an interesting move, the question to be answered next of course will be if a new character could continue the Uncharted franchise? This is discussed in the same interview with Uncharted 4 Writer, Josh Scherr. His thoughts on this are:
"I don't know. That's a good question, I think one thing that's been great about this series is that we have created this…I hate to use the word universe because Marvel's overusing it, but we've created this world where ancient civilisations remain undiscovered and lots of charismatic and unscrupulous treasure hunters exist to go and pursue these. I suppose you could tell a story in that world without Nathan Drake, but it's…in some ways a little hard to imagine."
These are interesting words to use, especially the idea that this world that Naughty Dog have created could be used to create further stories. As you can see from the quote though, with the writers not even sure that they could do this, would it be something they would agree to do?
What are your thoughts on continuing the Uncharted franchise without Nathan Drake? Could it work? Let us know your thoughts below.

The Insider Pick:
Whether you have a PlayStation, an Xbox, or a Windows PC, you can play any of these great multi-platform games. Our favorite titles include "Doom," "The Witcher III: Wild Hunt," "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," "Metal Gear Solid V," and "Overwatch."
The game industry is at an interesting crossroads right now. PC gaming has become hugely popular over the past decade or so, with many people even building their own custom machines. As a result, consoles makers have increasingly had to compete with stronger and more regularly-updated computer hardware. Many gamers still prefer consoles due to their lower cost and convenience of use, but there's no arguing that these systems, by their nature, lag a bit behind PCs when it comes to delivering a bleeding-edge graphical experience.
Since the Nintendo Entertainment System, game consoles have typically followed generational releases with new ones coming out every five or six years. We may be witnessing the end of this traditional launch cycle, however. In an attempt to close the gap between gaming PCs and consoles, Sony and Microsoft have offered more frequent hardware refreshes with machines like the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. These units, while still technically falling within the current console generation, boast beefed-up hardware that allows developers to push them further and stay up-to-date with modern trends like 4K and VR – features that have been available on PC for a few years now.
This ongoing arms race between console and computer hardware has also seen a notable decrease in the number of system exclusives. The PC, Xbox, and PlayStation each have their own libraries of unique games that are particular to each platform, but we're increasingly seeing games released across multiple systems. Compare this to a decade or two ago, when the vast majority of games were exclusive to one platform and these "multi-plats" were far less common.
If trends hold, then more frequent console hardware updates and multi-platform gaming appear to be the future of the industry. This is good news for PC and console gamers alike: Players who love the pick-up-and-play convenience of consoles don't need a beefy custom computer to play the latest AAA titles at high resolution, and dedicated PC gamers now get to enjoy many franchises, such as Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid, that were just a few years ago confined to specific platforms like Nintendo or PlayStation.
The sheer number of multi-platform games available today makes it difficult to narrow it down to just five. And although things like DLC and micro-transactions have caused their fair share of controversy in the modern industry, one thing is clear: There have been some truly awesome titles coming out recently from developers around the world, and the past few years have been great for gaming.
In this guide, we've done our best to smoke out what are arguably the five best multi-plats available on the PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 so you can enjoy them all no matter what system you prefer.

|Here we apply a two-phase flow model to simulate snow avalanche motion. Flowing snow is modeled as a Bingham fluid. Small- scale laboratory experiments were conducted using a rotating viscometer to validate the constitutive model. Experimental scale model test-runs were also performed, and run-out distances and impact pressures obtained in the model tests were reproduced using the twophase flow model. Comparisons revealed that the simulated results were strongly dependent on the basal friction angle and calculation mesh size. Although the method reproduced the laboratory model results quite well, constitutive aspects of the basal surface remained unsolved. Future research will need to incorporate a numerical technique to handle the basal boundary, such as a boundary-fitted coordinate technique.

The Kettlebell...
The daughter has just taken on a couple of clients and is slowly building her range of equipment. One of the items that had all of us in the office intrigued yesterday was a large grey kettlebell. I must admit I'm not overly familiar with kettlebells - my knowledge of them is pretty much limited to Katie at Runs for Cookies' review of The Swing book. However I tried picking the various weights up and swinging them to see how it felt. She had ordered four in total at different weights and in pretty pastel colours, but the beastie was the grey one - this is the one that I could just about pick up and carry to the next room. It weighed 20kgs.
Then it hit me. 20kgs is the amount of weight I have lost! It was completely amazing to me that the weight that I was struggling to lift and carry to the next room is precisely the amount of weight I had been carrying around on my body! I seriously think that everyone who has lost a significant amount of weight should try this from time to time, just to remind them of how far they've come!
I'm on a bit of a high at the moment, as you maybe could tell. Having a good weigh in will do that to you! Ask me again when I've busted my ass and didn't lose an ounce and I'm sure my opinion will be different! However, in addition to having a good weigh in, a number of people have commented on my weight loss recently and I'm obviously finding this very encouraging. Even my son tonight told me that my tummy was "less flubby" than it used to be :-). So, it got me thinking about progress. I have put up a new photo showing me just before the start of my journey and then a photo that my son took of me tonight. Clearly I still have a ways to go, but I'm pleased with the difference so far.
I was also thinking of how much of this progress, or elated feeling, is due to my exercise programme of the 30 Day Shred. Every night, with the exception of a few days in Chester, I have shredded. Next Tuesday is my last scheduled shredding day (watch this space for before and after measurements!), and I'm a little bit worried about what to do next! I like the idea of having something that I know I have to do every night - it's a goal - I'm obviously not under contract to do it, but I only let myself down if I don't. I've been looking at getting another Jillian Michael's workout, including one with a kettlebell (though I would not use the 20kg weight!!). I haven't made a decision yet, but I know that I want to continue my daily exercise routine for sure.
So, some questions to my readers! What is your daily exercise routine? Is there a fitness DVD that you recommend? Finally, how do you measure your own weight loss progress - is it purely personal, or do you not feel that you've 'progressed' until others start to notice?

Well, I know my progress has been at a stand still...even though I'm getting physically fitter I'm not seeing the scale budge. I think its both...when I FINALLY fit into a pair of jeans a size smaller I'll realize that I've progressed and I'll be ecstatic when someone else notices!ReplyDelete
Right now I'm doing the C25K program and walking to train for a 10 mile race in August. I do own the 30 Day Shred DVD but I haven't used it in a long time.Replies
It's frustrating when the scales don't budge - I went through a period like that in April/May and strangely it was only when I upped my calorie intake that I started to lose weight again! I had been eating 1200 calories a day since January and I think my metabolism just stopped because it was only expecting 1200 calories. Now I'm calorie cycling (never the same amount of calories per day - I zig zag between 1300-1600) and it seems to work - keeps my metabolism guessing ;-)Delete
I'm just starting the C25K program too! I've signed up for a race at the end of August and hope (!!) to be able to run the whole thing. I've just ordered another Jillian Michael's DVD - Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism - hopefully it will do just that!

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- The surprise announcement that Italy's Prime Minister Mario Monti is to resign is putting new stress on Europe's efforts to get control of its debt crisis.
Markets in the 17 European Union countries that use the euro had been calmer for three months -- since the European Central Bank said it was willing to intervene in government bond markets and drive down borrowing costs for indebted countries.
Now investors wonder whether Italy, the third largest eurozone economy, will give up on reforming its economy and reducing its debt load. That is on top of fears Greece will continue to struggle, and suspense over whether Spain will ask for bailout money.
Analysts on Monday were not predicting a meltdown just yet -- but it all hinges on Italy's new government.

Fix family life!
Lack of values blamed for high crime
AS the Holness Administration struggles to find an effective crime-fighting strategy to stem the country's spiralling crime rate, Hear the Children's Cry founder Betty Ann Blaine contends that the lack of wholesome family values is Jamaica's problem, and the Government should push to address this in seeking the fix for crime.
Blaine suggested yesterday that the Government should invest in reconstructing family life, even as Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced the second zone of special operations in Denham Town, Kingston, last week, aimed at ferreting out criminals in order to tackle increased crime and volatility.
"At the root of Jamaica's problem is family life. Children are being raised in families with only single mothers. Many of the boys don't know their fathers, [and they are] very angry about that. Many of them drop out of school at an early age, they get into criminality, and it is a vicious cycle," Blaine said.
She was speaking at her advocacy organisation's 15th anniversary thanksgiving service at Power of Faith Ministries in Portmore, St Catherine.
Blaine argued that the majority of the people who are involved in criminal activities were born to parents in communities with severe social and economic challenges.
"Many of the young men who are now 'shooters' and gunmen are young men born to parents in communities where they experience violence against them from they are very young. As a result they have grown up very hard, without the love and the compassion that children need. If children were to be born in this country to two parents who really want them and plan for them, who love them, nurture them — and I am not talking about living in rich environments at all — we should get a different result in Jamaica," Blaine said.
Just two weeks ago head of Police Area One, Assistant Commissioner Donovan Graham, expressed alarm at the large number of children between the ages of 12 and 18 who have been arrested for serious crimes in the last two years.
The crimes, he said, were category one, include murder, shooting, rape, robbery, larceny, and aggravated assault.
Graham said between September 2015 and the end of September this year, 1,400 children committed serious crimes. During this time, he said, 192 children were arrested for murder, 232 for rape, 152 for shooting, 364 for robbery, and 256 for breaking and entering.
Boys accounted for the lion's share of the arrests, said the ACP, who was speaking at an installation ceremony of the Kiwanis Club of Montego Bay.
"We see where our children are at the centre of many policing issues, especially around crime and violence. We have seen where they are involved in violent crimes and, in many instances, they're abused and continue to be victims of crime," he bemoaned.
Meanwhile, Blaine said she wasn't surprised by these figures and stated that the numbers could be higher.
"What we have discovered is that many of these children from the earliest age, from the youngest age, usually from they are toddlers, many of them are born and raised in very, very harsh environments in very difficult households and communities, and from the youngest age they don't experience the kind of nurturing love and attention that children need. Actually, in many cases it is the opposite — they are abused from they are toddlers, they are abused verbally everyday, some of them are abused physically, many of them sexually, and these children just become hardened because of the lack of love," Blaine reasoned.
She suggested that part of the Government's intervention should involve doing audits with children and youth.
"In every community we need to do a child audit. We need to know who are the children in this community. We need to know how many children live in every yard, every house. Are they in school, are they of school age, are they going to school? What are their social conditions? When we do that kind of child and youth audit, then we can be very precise about how many children you have in certain communities, their status, and their needs."
Then, she said, it should be decided how they can be helped to become productive citizens in the country.

Babydoll, Guilda and Pearl, Jan Scholz, panties, silk, vintage, zoi
I spoke previously about the shoot that I did for Guilda and Pearl, the vintage style lingerie shop. Well after the shoot I was gifted by the company a silk with French lace champagne babydoll with matching panties. I then used this to style a shoot by German analogue photographer Jan Scholz, which led to fantastic, dreamy results. I did my own hair and make up in these images.
Below are some images from the shoot, shot in different formats.

Wintershall is stepping up its activities in the southern North Sea. In addition to an extensive drilling campaign in the Netherlands, the UK and Denmark, the company intends to take its natural gas and crude oil discoveries into the production phase swiftly.
"We believe in the ongoing potential of the southern North Sea and are hereby making our contribution to securing Europe's energy supply by efficiently developing the assets we have close to home," explains Robert Frimpong, Managing Director of Wintershall Noordzee, during the Flame international energy conference in Amsterdam (13 - 16 April).
More than half of the natural gas consumed in the European Union, and about a quarter of the EU's crude oil consumption, comes from the North Sea and the countries bordering it.

The meaning of life is to position yourself in a way to impact the world and universe around you.
At least that's my stance.
The philosophical aspect of this question has always intrigued me. At the current spot we're at in time, with the scripture and technology available to us, I have been able to make two deductions:
- Promoting this question to help or hinder anything in the universe is to ignore the other half of the question.
Believers will always serve God, as I try my very best to do every day. But, religion and theology is a choice, and while I've always been a strong proponent of the Grace of God, it would be ignorant for me to dismiss that there is another side to see.
2. To answer this question there must be no bias, and quite honestly may be without logical solution in ancient or modern language.
We live in a culture that we've created, and creation at its root is the foundation for solutions to problems. For example, a tree is created from the earth as a solution to cleanse the oxygen that other life uses.
While there may be no real answer to this question, I believe that we are put here for a reason. But, I respect the universe around me deeply and will continually strive to deliver that positive energy as well.

The New World Mall is an unapologetically utilitarian building sitting in the center of Flushing, Queens. On a typical Sunday, you may find this structure towering over a sea of pedestrians; a scene I often try to avoid if not for the palatial dimsum restaurant atop the concrete enclosure.
On the surface, the restaurant has all the standard appeals. You'll find an army of steamy metal carts roaming through the narrow openings between tables, families fighting for the waiters' attention, and porcelain plates clamoring away. But more than anything else, my family was enamored with the success story behind this particular restaurant. A story that's resonant with many Fujianese migrant workers who cobbled together every penny they've pinched to pursue their entrepreneurial endeavors.
While stuffing my face over a plate of durian pastry, I unscrupulously asked my mom why didn't she ever invest in a business of this size?
"Because I invested in sending two kids to college instead." she said with a smirk.
She has a way of cutting through people with her words.
"Besides, why do you care? You've got a cushy job that pays you well. Don't waste your time with restaurants. Your dad and I had to endure this so you don't have to."
This comment haunted me because it encapsulates the irony of Fujianese Americanism. The grit and discipline that developed out of hardship in building a good life is shaved away when it comes to what we wish for our children. What if a good job is the only thing that's preventing us from living a great life? What if wealth comes with unintended consequences? It has long been studied that economic mobility not only brings comfort and power but also gluttony, apathy, risk avoidance, greed, and even our modern psychological maladies.
Suicide, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other alarming conditions are not just confined to the poor. In a society that believes that money can buy our well-being, upper-middle class youngsters and wealthy suburban women are two groups most likely to suffer from depression and suicidality [Tribe – Junger].
This is particularly relevant for the next generation of Fujianese youngsters who may find themselves in the upper-middle class without any context of the struggle that led to their condition. Some may argue that the higher rates outlined above is merely due to the fact that wealthier people have greater access to mental health services. And that's true to some extent but what Junger points out is that as Americans become wealthier, they also begin to dissociate themselves from their communities, breaking themselves away from their tribes. This alienation is a source of psychological angst.
Too Much Safety Can Kill You
Growing up in a struggling Fujianese immigrant family, I remember sharing a single bedroom apartment with 4 of my cousins under the care of our grandparents. The irony was that I never felt poor or needy. In fact, the most nostalgic memories I have were the gloomy Saturday mornings we shared watching cartoon. But as we get older and accumulated more wealth, we moved further away from one another. We can afford strangers to babysit for us so we no longer need our neighbors or relatives. Our yards get bigger and fences get taller. We hire security guards to watch our gated communities. We don't ask our neighbors to borrow sugar anymore but instead we ask for recommendations for a psychiatrist. This level of wealthy alienation is the reason why the next generation of Fujianese Americans will struggle greater hardship than their migrant parents did. Evolution did not prepare us to be permanently safe.
We Feel The Safest When We're Needed The Most
So where do we go from here? Should we all just keep our kids in crime-ridden neighborhoods and substandard schools? The key (I think) lies in how we connect with our communities. Months following the 9/11 terrorist attack, rate of suicide in America decreased noticeably. When interviewed, Junger suggested that such events (however terrifying) have the uncanny power to pull people together and even give folks a reason to live. The central thesis is that we need our tribes. We have a primal urge to feel needed and to identify with our tribes regardless of our socioeconomic status. The beauty is that there are tribes all around us. Whether is volunteering for the local food pantry or organizing events with your neighbors for a local fundraiser, the opportunities to connect and build a tribe is readily available. The next generation of young Fujianese Americans will inherently struggle with this as they've been taught to not invest in activities with no direct financial return. Moreover, as we continue to assimilate and adopt American Individualism, many of us will operate with diminishing collectivist mentality. This indirectly pushes us to deal with our hardships without the support of a tight-knit community while combating the stigma of seeking professional help. Your biggest struggle is to fight against that intuition and to embrace the communities that surround you.
