It was during the winter of 2007 and having given the BHSEC from Bajothang Higher Secondary School, I left for my vacation with loads of fruitful memories. During my childhood days, my duty during the winter vacation was to rear the sheep and cows on the pastures and hillsides everyday but no more then as the population of sheep declined drastically. My last and longest vacation of school days was historic as I got to attend many political campaigns, and hear the voices of politicians as they made numerous promises and having taken part in casting the votes for the candidates of NC and NA of the first historic election of democratic Bhutan. In the village, it was always fun with the village folks during the annual village tsechu, losars, annual lochoes, etc. and of course working at the sites where new houses were constructing. However, my mind was never engrossed in those activities but deep within I had that worry, a worry about my BHSEC result. Though I was quite confident that I had done my best, I was little worried about the consequences of my luck.

It was during the month of February that I came to Wangdue town to wait for the declaration of our results as my village was quite inaccessible to media if not for the FM radio only. Today we have electricity to light our homes and B Mobile network to reach the friends and relatives. So in front of the computer, I was checking my result on the Bhutan Telecom website on the evening of the result declaration. It took quite a time and when I finally could view my scores, I was happy to see that my marks were good enough to seal a slot for scholarship provisions. For few successive weeks, I did not miss the kuensel issues to see the notifications and advertisements regarding the availability of scholarships for further studies but somehow I missed it. By the time I learnt about the it, I was left with just a couple of days to submit my documents to the Scholarship Division of Department of Adult and Higher Education. This made me rush to the capital city which was my first time. Of course during my first journey, one of my cousin brothers accompanied me. Rushing from the hospital to the DAHE office, from DAHE office to the Xerox shop, it was a tedious job for me and more tiresome and tough, when I didn't have a friend.
Worst, I could not decide specifically on which field of study to choose as I didn't have good idea about the scope of different courses. Nor could I avail much advice from those who have ideas. I was a bio math student and coincidentally my marks in those two subjects were equal, which gave me a better option in both the bio and math fields. My favourite is bio so I had chosen in the bio field. Me being a villager have a good attachment with forest so Forestry is what I have chosen adamantly and didn't dreams a shit about becoming an engineer. My parents being illiterate and uneducated, they neither pressurized me to focus for certain specific ambitions, nor did they have any objections for my choice of course and that's the liberty I enjoyed being a son of farmer.
Now that the class twelve results are out, quite a number of our dear brothers and sisters might be excited and in jubilant state with their good marks. For them what is important is to get themselves vigilant about the notices and advertisements regarding the opportunities of further studies besides getting themselves equipped with all the necessary documents like medical fitness certificate, security clearance certificate, class ten mark sheets, etc. It is always advisable to keep atleast three Xerox copies of each. Meanwhile they should consult with the seniors, teachers, and authorities concerned about the prospect of choosing the course of one's interest. There are many instances of career mismatch and even those sent on government scholarships land up without a single job vacancy when they complete their courses and come back. While it is good to make the choices, it is sometimes best to take the chances as well.
Since the news reports states that only 15% of the total class XII pass outs will be absorbed by RUB, it is for sure that some 75% of our class twelve pass outs will have to either get into the job market, which is already facing the scarcity of jobs. Farming, though it is one of the best and sustainable sources of income, our youths show hatred towards the profession. From my point of view provided that one's parent have a good land resource, it is best to become an educated farmer than earning a meager sum by picking up job which neither satisfies us, nor our parents.
What so ever the situation may be the youths should now get themselves prepared to face the challenges and accept their fate. It might be painful and agonizing experience this season for some unlucky ones and it is during such times that our youths tend to follow the wrong path, so it is important that our parents and authorities concerned gives them best counseling and groom them face the real world.

Bush aims to counter Iran's growing influence by arming its neighbours, despite Israeli concerns
The Bush administration is expected to announce a massive series of arms deals in the Middle East tomorrow that are being seen as part of a diplomatic offensive against the growing influence of Iran in the volatile region.
The centrepiece of the deals is an agreement between the US and a group of Persian Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia, that could eventually be worth at least $20bn, according to news reports. At the same time, 10-year military aid packages will be renewed with Israel and Egypt.
The main thrust of the deal is the supply of advanced American weapons to long-term Arab allies in the Gulf. They include Saudi and five other Gulf states: the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. All those countries have been jittery over the growing power of Iran and the possibility that Tehran is seeking to build a nuclear bomb. The supply of American arms to the countries not only gives them greater military power to counter Iran's but also cements them further as American allies.
In fact, so great is the White House's fear over Iran's intentions that the deal appears to ride roughshod over other American strategic concerns - such as Israeli fears over arming Arab countries and concern that Saudi Arabia has been supporting Sunni militants in Iraq. A senior Pentagon official said the deals were being made 'to deal with what has been a changing strategic threat from Iran and other forces'.
The deal will focus on improvements to the countries' air and missile defence systems. It will also upgrade their navies and air forces, giving them a greater strike capability. However, the weapons being sold are mostly defensive and will not boost the countries' offensive military capabilities. Some of the sales will also cover technology that can turn standard bombs into so-called 'precision-guided' bombs of the type that have become common with US forces.
The deal is the culmination of months of diplomacy. Details will be announced ahead of trips this week to the Middle East by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defence Secretary Robert Gates. Exact figures and types of weapons involved have not been finalised.
The deal raises various strategic questions for America. The first is how to placate traditional allies Israel and Egypt, both of which have their own concerns about arming Gulf states. The salve to those concerns appears to be to give them fresh military aid packages of their own. Israel, according to the New York Times, is going to get a $30.5bn package over the next 10 years. That figure is much higher than had originally been planned. Egypt too will get a new 10-year deal, worth an estimated $13bn.
However, the huge flood of arms into the region is likely to cause serious concerns that Washington is supporting an arms race by sending hi-tech weapons to the rivals of Iran. Such a move will likely undermine diplomatic efforts in the region and spur Tehran even further in its quest for greater military power and the development of its nuclear programme. At the same time, others will criticise the White House for sending weapons to a region whose governments could easily collapse and thus leave American hardware in the hands of Islamic militants.
The flow of arms to Saudi Arabia is of particular concern. Not only are some Saudi factions suspected of being supporters of Sunni insurgents in neighbouring Iraq, there is also a fear that the Saudi royal family could one day fall prey to an Islamist revolution.
If that happens, the new weapons could end up being used by radicals against Western interests. Israeli officials and their supporters in Washington are reportedly lobbying against the Gulf deal but they have been overruled by an administration that has made countering Iranian interests its highest priority.
Bagelblogger: I can't even begin to understand the stupidity behind this decision... Lets face it the Saudi's have done a pretty good job at being an enemy of the US, why the hell would you give billions dollars in Arms to these lunatics?
If the Saudi's are representative of moderation in the Middle East then, we're all in trouble. Saudi Arabia has two main exports Oil and Terrorism, have we forgotten how many terrorists have originated from Saudi Arabia?
The Saudi's record on Human rights is appalling, why would the US decide to send billions of dollars of arms into the Middle East, is that not the equivalent of throwing more petrol on the fire?
Have we seen any progress of reform with regards Human rights?
Less than two months after the Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan billion dollar bribery fiasco, we see this? Unbelievable...

Man, the Prez is really throwing around the dough these days. I guess that with the whole Iraq War going on, a few billion more on foreign military aid looks comparatively small by comparison. Personally, I hope Israel can some day get off American aid and stand on its own two feet financially, but that dream seems further and further away.
Cool picture of the Apache helicopter, by the way. I saw one flying overhead last night during a moonlight hike through the fields of Beit Shemesh. Go (Uncle-Sam-financed) IAF!

Home Accounts 3 - The Bank Reconciliation
Bank Reconciliation
A Bank reconciliation is an essential part of any Bookkeeping function.
It can be carried out at any time, but most often at the end of the month.
Something to bear in mind is, that at any one point in time there will be Cheques that have been issued but have yet to be Banked and Cleared.
Therefore they will not appear on your Bank Statement.
Also you may have Banked Cheques or Cash two or three days prior to the end of the month, again they may not appear on your Bank Statement.
The reconciliation process is as follows :
1) Print a copy of your Cash Book spreadsheet.
This will be used to tick of items against your Bank Statement.
2) Make sure you have your Bank Statements for the period up to the end of the month.
3) Start by marking of the Paid In items to your Bank Statements.
I suggest you use a pencil as it is easier to correct any mistakes.
4) You will be left with Paid In items that you have not ticked off in your Cash Book.
Make a list and total.See my example.
5) You should not have any unticked items on your Bank Statements, items such
as Transfers In.
These should have already been identified and entered into your Cash Book.
6) Now carry out the same procedure on the Cash Paid section of the Cash Book.
7) Check off your Cheques/Direct Debits/Standing Orders and Transfers Out from your Cash Book to your Statement.
8) You will be left with Cheques in your Cash Book that have yet to be banked and cleared.
Therefore they will not appear on your Statement.
Make a list and total.See my example.
9) You should not have any Direct Debits/Standing Orders or Transfers Out
remaining un-checked on your Statement.You should have already identified
and entered them in your Cash Book.
10) See my example of a typical Bank Reconciliation report

CBS's The Talk is continuing to stir things up with its daytime show, The Talk, with funny lady, Molly Shannon.
A network spokesperson confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that the Saturday Night Live alum will be guest hosting for the month of Sept. starting with its return next Tuesday. She will join existing hosts Sara Gilbert, Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne, as well as new addition, Sheryl Underwood.
The actress and comedian will be filling in at least one of the chairs for recently dismissed co-hosts Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete, whose contracts weren't renewed for the new season. She may also cross paths with recently announced Mama Kardashian, Kris Jenner, who may start in late-September. Jenner is set to appear for two weeks.
Shannon made a name for herself on NBC's SNL after starting on the late night sketch show in 1995. She has gone on to appear in several movies, including Superstar, Analyze This, Never Been Kissed, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and recently Bad Teacher. Last year, she appeared on Fox's Glee and starred in the TBS series, Neighbors From Hell.

It's officially "fight week" and, as might be expected, UFC President Dana White has released a traditional video blog featuring behind the scenes highlights from the past few weeks. In his latest effort, White brought cameras along with him to UFC 154, as well as onto set at the Ultimate Fighter 17 where he talked to coaches Chael Sonnen and Jon Jones about this weekend's UFC on FOX 5 lineup.
Interestingly enough, Jones and Sonnen both disagreed about the outcomes of two of the card's three featured fights, with "Bones" picking Benson Henderson and Rory MacDonald, while Sonnen opted for Nate Diaz and B.J Penn. However, both agreed Alexander Gustafsson should exit the event with a victory over Mauricio Rua.
Also shown, some of the biggest players at UFC 154 were shown backstage after their losses though champion Georges St-Pierre was conspicuously absent from the clip. Opponent Carlos Condit, on the other hand, is featured heavily, expressing relief about a cut on his face being less severe than he'd envisioned and having his face stitched up on camera.
Plus, were that not enough, footage from female star Ronda Rousey's recent trip to fly with the famed Blue Angels is also shown.
Check out the video below:


text: The newest political thriller from a seasoned writer of the genre is almost there: intelligent, challenging, complex--but never quite believable. Arnold Cartwright, perhaps the most brilliant radar technician in the world, and certainly in his native England, has just been sacked. Bitter and reeling from a failed marriage, he takes a job in Spain, updating the latest radar technology for--Ecuador? By the time he comes to realize that he is actually working for Iraq, he has been drawn so deeply into the plot to annex Kuwait that he is not even sure himself if he wants out. Around Cartwright, Rathbone (Lying in State, 1986, etc.) weaves a net of international politics so intricate that following its convolutions can often be as aggravating as it is engrossing. Save for the one woman who suspects the truth, the US Pentagon intelligence people who, behind the scenes, machinate the build-up to the Gulf War are at best a bunch of racist sexists and at worst--surprise!--murderers, albeit, of course, indirectly and always from thousands of miles away. The Iraqi side of the story comes from glimpses into the secret diary of Salih Kƒƒ, an academic who has been unwillingly drawn into Saddam Hussein's inner circle by virtue of his grasp of the subtleties of the English language, and whose amusing reflections on what he has seen there are often dangerously less than flattering. Perhaps the most discordant note in the plot is Roma, the Palestinian terrorist who improbably seduces Cartwright for the sake of the Arab Nation, and then even more improbably seems to soften, nursing him back to health and leaving him to be rescued by American soldiers. Despite the sometimes herky-jerky nature of the plot, the political minuets are danced superbly--they're what you read the book for, and they make you think.

After the YouGov exit polls suggested a narrow 52-48 victory for Remain on June 23rd, I went to bed in preparation for my open day at Warwick University the next morning. On this night, 'going to bed' consisted of me watching the TV with bated breath as the thing that I had hoped so dearly for slowly became a reality. I 'woke up' to my dad telling me that it was time to get up and that against all odds, Brexit was happening. It was about half way up to Coventry when the news was finally confirmed, and that it was announced that the British Public, with the highest turn out for a national vote since 1992, had voted to Leave the European Union. It is the next chapter of Britain's political and economic landscape, and I could not be happier. However, my feelings were not shared by approximately 48% of the population.
In this article, I could go on about the pure outcry of the vast majority of my peers, angered about the uneducated and antiquated older generation (who had seen the EU for what it was originally designed to be and how different it has subsequently become) for ruining the future of Britain's youth (despite 18-24 year olds amassing a turnout of 36%, less than half of every other age demographic). But I would be forced into talking about the 52% of the population who are rejoicing and democratic vote, where their voices were heard and their vote mattered.
I could go on about the economic worries and uncertainties that we now face, ones that, despite being 100% legitimate and will cause a reduction of investment until new deals are formed, were inevitable after a vote of this magnitude. But I feel that if I talked about this, I would be forced to talk about the resilience and almost immediate recovery of Stirling, the FTSE, and various other post Brexit positives, such as the agreement for a new Jaguar Factory in Wales and the confirmation that Morgan Stanley will not be causing the 2,000 job losses that were talked of in recent months.
I could talk about the political instability that we now face, with the immediate and honestly inevitable resignation of David Cameron (in a speech that I feel will cement his legacy as one of the most respectable Prime Ministers this country has ever seen) and the apparent internal collapse of the Labour Cabinet (one that even the most rickety IKEA bedside table would be proud of). But once again I would hence be inclined to talk about the shock that this has sent through the spines of the unelected and unaccountable commissioners, who now must realise that the current direction of their European Project is not working. And hey, for all the Remainers reading this, Nigel Farage is out of a job and will probably feel inclined to take a step back from main stream politics now that his work is done! What a day to be alive!
What I am trying to say is this. The result of the referendum has had both positive and negative effects for every one of us. But the time for bitterness and anger and frustration must now be over. The public have made their decision, by a majority of 1.3 million people, and as said by both David Cameron and Jean Claude Juncker, this 'must be respected'. So let us move forward together, and make the most of the current situation. After what I feel was a poorly run campaign on both sides, I think we all need learn how to smile and laugh again. Here is how I picture the aftermath of Brexit. I hope you enjoy!

Butterknife Folk – Enjoy Cakes & Gelato Along River Valley Road
Opened for less than a week, Butterknife Folk is all about gelato and cakes. Located along River Valley Road, we dropped by for tea just a few days ago to give it a try. They were simple things. If you prefer something sweet, go for the Frasier ($8) featuring fresh strawberries and mascarpone chantilly. If you like something more sourish like us, head for the Lemony Snickel or Fruit Loop.
Lemony Snickel ($8) features tangy lemon curd pressed into a unique buckwheat crust. The lemon curd is tangy and tart, where the buckwheat crust is gentle and sweet. Each bite zips around your mouth, hitting sweet and sour notes concurrently. My dining partner finds it a little too sourish, hence she preferred the milder Fruit Loop ($8) filled with smooth lemon mousse, strawberry jelly, pistachio sponge and butter sable. It is a mix of flavours – sweet, nutty, tart all combined. Pair them with specially blended tea to while away the afternoon.
I went for one single scoop ($5) of houjicha but I think it was a little too light for my liking. Next time I should try another gelato flavour and pair with their waffle finger ($3.50). The cafe is also conducting baking demonstration class for all baking enthusiasts.
Butterknife Folk
Address: 238 River Valley Road, Singapore 238296

You can see the diversity of local flavors and international flavors everywhere. One should feel blessed because; a time has arrived where one cuisine is not restricted to one continent, but spread across the globe. The Columbia restaurants have been erected by the urge to bring the highest level of customer satisfaction and promoting the flavors of Columbia. The Columbian cuisine is very diverse and varies depending on the different regions of the state. The reason for its diversity is the tropical climate and the influence of the immigrants. To relish the favorite's items, one must have to visit the exotic dishes like homiga culona (roasted ants), guinea pig, and fried intestines as well as comfort foods like arepas, and chicken soup.
The menu of the Columbian restaurants shares the practices of Caribbean shoreline, pacific coast and mountains and jungles. No matter, from where they have drawn an inspiration for cooking, but it is hard to find a corner of the world where celebration is not linked to food, but food is linked with celebration. Once you visit the Columbia restaurant, you can witness the radiance of blue water. Experiencing the casual atmosphere with the Spanish bean soup with chorizos and garbanzos and boliche and yellow rice, you will ask for nothing. If soup is not your list and would like to try out exceptional dish, then the Spanish/Cuban cuisine is a must have. No matter where you have booked your seat, you will enjoy the consistency of taste. Surrounded by sea and not having a sea food is next to impossible. Savoring the taste of fresh sea food, from the century old recipe like Paella, Snapper, Pompano en Papillot and filet Mignon should not be missed.
The Columbian restaurant menu include chicken and yellow rice, Boliche, Merluza Russian style, Columbia original, Spanish bean or Cuban black bean soup, Sangria, flan, Richly brewed American coffee. The prices of the entire menu are very soothing on the pockets, and they all come in the prices you might have paid during the old days. It is not only for the menu that the people love to visit the restaurant, but appealing atmosphere that offers elegance in a Mediterranean style setting. The diners will relish every moment in the old world style dining, an outdoor café, and bar.
The menu does not end here; the food lovers can enjoy a healthy and sparkling life with the Gluten free friendly, vegan friendly food items. The highlight of the menu also remains the Latin American cuisines like Mojo chicken sandwich, EI Combo de Cuba, vegetarian, Paella, Shrimp Criollo and kids steak. Since every restaurant only have one chance to impress, and it has the capability to create a command over people, with its live music and dancers. The décor and food are amazing and above all the flamenco dancers are the treat to the eyes. You will get more of a unique experience with solid traditional favorites. The restaurants in columbia md's menu invites and attracts international guests and it has several brand loyal customer too, who love to visit the hand painted tiles and Spanish style fountains and savor authentic cuisines.

|One area where I raked out some of the Algal mat on the East Pond.

People are more likely to see shorebirds this year like this...

With the annual Shorebird Festival in a couple of weeks (August 29th), organizers better hope that there is a huge influx of shorebirds on the East Pond. Otherwise, they may need to have a backup plan on keeping attendees occupied. Stand up comedy anyone?

The New Face of TG
Dear Fellow Toad-Gamers,
Behold the new mascot for Toad Games! Handsome devil, ain't he? He was brought to life by an old friend of ours, Ronnie Sampson. Ronnie and his wife run a design studio out in San Francisco, doing creative animation for children's learning software. Really nice stuff and they've got a whole shelf of awards to prove it.
I'm not sure why he's not wearing pants. I'm just going to imagine that he's got some short shorts on, covered by his sweater.
He needs a name, too. But before you start firing off can't-miss witticisms, give us a chance to get organized and set up a proper survey.
Once again I want to mention how grateful we are for the positive feedback regarding the direction that we're taking TG. Seven years is a long time to carry this site and there's just so much more we want to do with it. And to those few who insist that you're taking your "business" elsewhere when we start charging, so be it. We absolutely understand and hope that you find another online community that meets your needs for less than 15 cents a day. We'll still be here, growing and expanding, and ready to welcome you back whenever you're ready. To paraphrase Tom Bodett, we'll keep the servers on for ya. Until next time....

text: I always look forward to periodically checking tfw2005 for news updates. Some days are better than others in regards to news, but when it comes to movie news I get a feeling of nausea. I dont read the Movie news but its presence bothers me. Maybe it's because the future of non-movie TF's seems bleak. I understand why Tfw 2005 does it, and that some people really like the franchise. This is not about that. This is simply my personal feelings on the matter. Anyone else feel this way?

Sometimes you just need a one-skein scarflette to get you through the day.
After tumultous times during Christmas (grandma in hospital, stressed out parents, took out my stress on my best friend/former dating partner now he's not talking to me, had a heckuvah time getting back to Atlanta and then getting back into my own home) I needed something to get me out of my distinct funk.
Enter the Fourteen pattern from Yarnballboogie. I knit it in a k1,p1 rib rather than the brioche, and after making one in green, I decided to try it in a pleasing grape color this evening. My only regret is that it knitted up almost TOO quickly. I can feel an addiction coming on... it's such a quick and easy high-- I may need an intervention for knitting so many of these things.
The only thing I can find to get me away from these adorable little scarves is a nagging thought about (among the other things mentioned above) this giant skein of Thick and Quick Chenille in a lovely chardonnay color that's just taking up stash space. I have no idea what to do with this stuff. I checked out Ravelry for some quick fixes, but nothing particularly grabbed me.
Any ideas? I really am open to just about anything- preferably a project that will allow me to use up the entire skein.

My Prayers and Tears Wrapped in a Shawl
Sometimes knitting can get you through the toughest times.
I'm currently in Arkansas visiting my family for the holidays, and my grandparents are staying with us at my mum and dad's place. This was supposed to be a lovely, loving period of relaxation and goodnatured bickering that would take us well into 2009 with a smile on our faces. However, real life doesn't follow a calendar- thus the reason my grandmother (on mum's side) was rushed to the hospital a few days ago. As I type this, she's resting comfortably, but still not strong enough to endure a much needed operation. So things aren't so happy in the WarmandHappy house, but we're trying to keep it together.
My way of coping is through prayer, and knitting a shawl for Grandma Ruth. She's the person who taught me the basics of crochet when I was a kid. I've never met anyone who is as creative as she is with yarn and a hook. She can quite literally make ANYTHING, and she never uses patterns. It all comes out of her unique and sharp mind. I took up knitting because I remembered the good times of holding skeins of yarn while gasping over Days of Our Lives or cheering while watching Wrestlemania! with Grandma Ruth. Soap operas, crochet, and wrestling. Grandma is so much more than those three things, but I think they're good examples of her eclectic tastes and great sense of humour.
So I sit here now and knit. The first night I came into town, I dropped by the Wal Mart and picked up a skein of Lion Brand Homespun, but found it completely unsuitable for any projects. Turns out, it's perfect for a prayer shawl. Click for the pattern.
I've been quite literally crying and praying over this shawl everyday, but it's a comfort to me, and when it's finished, it will be a comfort to her as well.
I love you Grandma! We're going to start knittin' and hookin' together again soon.

Yarn Taketh Over
I have been quite literally knitting up a storm during my holiday break. I'd take a picture of the mess that is my room right now, but I'm actually embarrassed by the level of clutter I created within just a few days.
In any case, some good things have come out of this- I have finished four scarflettes, one cigarette/lighter holder, and started a prayer shawl over the past 6 days. The story of the prayer shawl and its eventual recipient is kind of sad, so I won't get into it now... maybe when it's completed.
Happily, tonight I soldiered through the "Wham, bam, thank you Lamb" cowl. It started out as really fun, but the never ending garter stitch got old pretty quickly. I ended up jazzing it up a little by changing the pattern and adding in a few YO's. It came out nicely, and I slapped it on Etsy.
Next time, I'll do it in a brighter color to keep myself interested- even if it may not sell. I'm new to this "making cool stuff for money" thing, but from conversations with current and future customers have pointed to a strong love of neutral colors and squishy fabric during the winter time. Am I really the only person who loves to rock powerful reds and even the occasional pink during the cold weather months?
Oh well.
I'd like to whip up something quick for my mom before Christmas Day, but seeing as I have less than three days left and I still need to finish the shawl- it's not looking likely. But... I want to. But... but... Enough whingeing!
I'm off to hunt down quickie/pretty patterns for Thick and Quick. If that doesn't work, I'm going back to the mall!!
(just wanted to note, I *did* already buy my mom a gift, but I happen to enjoy giving lots of gifts during the holidays. I just love giving someone something they will always like)

I Like 'em Thick!
I have to admit, I'm a total Size Queen. I know, I know, it shouldn't matter how big it is as long as you know what to do with it, but "experienced" ladies and men know you have to know your own limits when it comes to the big ones.
I mean seriously, take a look at this:
Um, of course I was referring to knitting needles. ANYWAY- these are advertised as being functional needles. How often are you really going to use those? And for what?? Wouldn't your shoulders start to hurt after a bit? I know my MUCH SHORTER size 50's give my deltoids a workout whenever I'm knitting up a big ol' blanket.
In any case, I'm going through a pretty intense period of lovin' on some chunky yarns and needles (size US 13 and up only, please). I'm a big fan of instant gratification and ultra soft, ultra warm scarflettes and hats that are so sensuous and comforting that you may forget you have a boyfriend.
So don't be surprised to see some extra chunky works of knitted art around here for a couple of months. I'll get over this once Spring comes around, but for now- this kind of knitting just keeps my little hands warm.
Yarns I'm Using:
Wool-Ease Thick and Quick: I know, I know, it has kind of a weird texture, but pure wool makes my skin break out if I handle it too much, so I have to use these blends. Also, it comes in some lovely colors, it's readily available at the local craft store and it's under $5.
Bernat Softee Chunky Ombre: It has the same characteristics as the Thick and Quick, but it's not quite as chunky, and is a touch softer. Also, it's easy to wash, which is always a plus for me.
Indulge Wool: I stumbled across this on an idle Ebay search, and have been fantasizing about it for a couple of days now. I can just see a incredibly comfy tam and wrap combo coming out of the two skeins on auction. I promised myself I wouldn't add to my stash until 2009, but I already broke that promise when I bought some Thick and Quick to occupy me during the holidays in Arkansas. ...hm...
I'll progress to higher end yards soon, but I'm just in the beginning stages of my "Chunky Chaser" phase.
Pattern Attack:
Wham, Bam, Thank You Lamb- It's currently on the needles, worked in a nice mixed grey.
Life is Uneven- I really love this, and will probably make this for myself or someone else.
Loom Hat- Um, is this cute? I can't tell.
200- Everything from John Brienger automatically goes on the list. This scarf is just beyond belief!

Why... Fancy seeing YOU here!
Welcome! Come on in. If you couldn't tell, I just moved in here- so things are kind of a mess.
Ah, yes... Introductions... My name is Kim, and being a woman in my mid 20's I've had a blog presence for a rather long time. This is my first blog dedicated entirely to craftiness, though undoubtedly other aspects of my life will bleed into my posts from time to time.
This space will mainly be used to moan, complain, and roar in triumph over my latest crafty conquest. For those who want to know, I'm a fan of knitting, I'm slowly learning to crochet, and I can't draw or paint worth a damn- but that doesn't stop me from trying.
Feel like joining me on a handmade journey? Feel free to comment when the mood strikes, or subscribe to my feed. Have your own crafty blog? I'm prone to hero-worship, so if you're good at what you do I will probably get really excited and blog about you. At the very least, I'll drop a link in here.
Finally, if you see a project you like on here, you can probably buy it for yourself or others in my store, Warm and Happy.
Hm, I think I've covered all of my bases and introduced myself as well as I can. Now- back to that giant shawl I started earlier this evening... oh dear.

DEDHAM, Mass. – The attorney representing a convicted rapist who spent 34 years on the run before being captured in Gorham last month said he assumes his client is innocent and is considering appealing the 1979 conviction.
Gary Alan Irving, 52, originally of Rockland, Mass., appeared Friday in Norfolk County Superior Court, where a judge ordered that he remain held without bail until his May 23 sentencing.
Irving, who had been living quietly as Gregg Irving for three decades in Maine, wore a yellow jail shirt and blue pants and had his hands shackled in front of him during the brief hearing. He didn't speak.
After the hearing, his attorney, Neil Tassel, said he is still learning about Irving's case but said he is strongly considering appealing the original conviction.
"One of the most significant aspects of the case to me is that things were done very different (in 1979)," he said. "These were crimes that were very traumatic; they were terrible attacks that occurred. There is no question that they occurred, and there was a tremendous amount of pressure on authorities to clear those cases.
"But we now know in many other cases that people have been cleared by DNA."
Irving was convicted of raping three women in three towns on Massachusetts' South Shore during the summer of 1978, when he was 17. In each instance, Irving surprised girls who were walking or riding their bikes, forced them to a secluded area or inside his car and sexually assaulted them at knifepoint.
Police in the communities of Cohasset, Weymouth and Holbrook were stumped about the rapes until two girls who reported a similar attempted assault in September 1978 provided clues about the attacker: a partial license plate number that was traced to Irving's father and a blue-and-white graduation tassel that matched the Rockland High School colors. One of the rape victims, and later the other two, identified Irving from a high school yearbook photo.
He was convicted in June 1979 of three counts of rape and other charges, including kidnapping, and faced a lengthy prison sentence.
After his conviction but before sentencing, a judge allowed him to spend a weekend at his home in the custody of his father, a retired military man and auxiliary police officer. Irving fled, and hadn't been heard from until police learned he was living in Gorham with his wife of 32 years.
After receiving information about his whereabouts from a family member in Massachusetts, police arrested Irving on March 27 at his home in Gorham.
Police identified him in part by two scars on his back and chest from heart surgery he underwent as a boy. His wife and two grown children knew nothing of his past, police said.
Irving was held at the Cumberland County Jail until April 1, when he waived extradition and was taken to Massachusetts.
Before he was returned to jail Friday, Irving submitted a DNA sample, which will be put into a national database to see whether there are any matches for unsolved crimes.
Tassel said he believes the DNA sample might actually prove Irving's innocence.
"One of the things that strikes me is that crimes of this nature don't come out of thin air," he said. "There is no question that he has not committed any crimes in the past 35 years. It seems very unlikely to me that a person of his character could have committed these crimes and then suddenly lost any urge to commit these types of crimes."
Because of Irving's violent past, Maine police are combing through unsolved sexual assaults in Greater Portland to see whether Irving could have been involved. So far, there is nothing to indicate that he committed any other crimes, said Maine State Police Trooper Jeremy Forbes.
Irving could face more charges in Maine. When police searched his home after the arrest, they discovered 10 guns, including two sawed-off shotguns. As a convicted felon, Irving was not allowed to own guns. It's likely, though, that no charges would be filed until his Massachusetts case is resolved.
Judge Kenneth Fishman set a sentencing date of May 23 but also asked the defense and prosecution to report back for a status conference on April 26. One of the things that could hold up the case, Tassel said, is whether or not authorities can find the trial transcript from 1979.
Tassel said he has yet to have any lengthy conversations with his client but said, "He strikes me as a very gentle, kind individual."
"He's lived openly for 35 years in Maine," Tassel said. "He has a tremendous number of supporters in Gorham, Maine. Everyone in the community in Maine is astounded that this could possibly be the same person who stood trial back here so many years ago."

A 71-year-old woman is said to be fully recovered after a winch rescue when she was trapped in a ravine 400 metres down Slieve League in Co Donegal.
Malin Head Coast Guard service said she was rescued at almost the same spot where 28-year-old Cormac Nolan was snatched to safety when he plunged 400 metres down to a narrow ledge on New Year's Day.
The rescue of the elderly woman, one of three sisters holidaying in south Donegal, on Thursday evening involved units of the Donegal and Sligo-Leitrim Mountain Rescue teams and the cliff-climbing team of the Killybegs Coastguard unit.
The woman and a sister had been on a walk along the cliff-side while their third sister waited in a car-park.
After two hours without contact the third sister raised the alarm with Malin Head Coast Guard service that they were missing.
While one of the walkers eventually made her way safely back to the car-park the 71-year-old became trapped on a ledge in a ravine.
Just 10 metres below her the cliff face sloped sharply down to the sea below.
A Coast Guard helicopter from Strandhill, Co. Sligo, was running low in fuel after a 90-minute search and it had to return to base for what is called a hot-refuel, refuelling while the engine is still running.
Meanwhile, cliff-climbers from Killybegs Coast Guard spotted the trapped woman.
She was eventually rescued by the returned helicopter when a winch was lowered its full 75 metres to her along the cliff face.
A Malin Head Coast Guard Service spokesman said: "The sisters who went walking set out for Malinbeg which is a four to five hour walk.
"They only had a small bottle of water with them in very hot weather.
"So far as we can establish the woman who was trapped wandered off a bit and then she slipped. She was probably disoriented.
"It would have been very difficult for the helicopter crew to spot her but the Killybegs Coast Guard hill-climbers know every nook of Slieve League and they did a wonderful job."
The woman was taken to Sligo General Hospital for a check and then released when she was found to be uninjured.


text: So the appraisal apparently didn't happen today because the listing agent gave the appraiser the wrong code to get in the house. This is only one thing on the long list of how much the listing agent sucks. The first being the fact that he lost the key to the house in the first place!! This just goes to show you that you can get the best realtor in the city (which we did) but it won't matter if your dream house is listed with an incompetent slug (which he is).

Adventures in the Work place
|Wishing this is how all offices look like. {Source}
Lost in translation while in meetings with all the acronyms people throw at each other as they all spoke in codes, I had to scratch my head, wondering, what PDS, HYG, HMN, and all the jumbled letters of the alphabet meant.
Like a small cub, joining the animal kingdom, trying to blend in and getting to know everyone, I daresay, I'm blessed to have great colleagues and bosses that are approachable enough to be my mentors. However, there's no such thing as a perfect place so we are bound to meet someone who will test our tolerance and patience, especially those who think they're in the higher food chain ready to devour anyone who gets in their way.
I've learned so much in my first week and the more days go by, I'm having longer sleep. I can see spending longer hours in the office is inevitable as piled up responsibilities and weeks ensue. We all try to avoid working late, but we have to accept that this is a big part of Interior Design and Architectural lifestyle, especially here in the Middle East. We have a popular saying here when someone asks, "when's the deadline?" The answer is always "Yesterday." A client gave me this answer once and I was crazy enough to jokingly reply, "Too bad for you, I don't have a time machine. "

Oh, new jobs are always tricky. I started in my current workplace in January and I was a bit of a mess at the beginning. I had never been in a big company and everything seemed really daunting. Besides, I was somehow scared to talk to people because I'm still afraid that I won't understand their replies or that I'll embarrass myself speaking bad Dutch. Now that I'm finally getting used to it, getting along with the colleagues and understanding my tasks is almost time to leave. I think I'll be sad to leave in a month but very grateful for such a good opportunity.ReplyDelete
I'm sure you'll do great, so relax and learn as much as you can. And then, enjoy :)

I can imagine you right now... going back to work is like going back to school for the first time. you feel everythings new, a kind awkward, mix of excitement but I guess.. after a while, with good and right people around everything will just fall into place. you're so good and I'm sure you can make it!!!!! hope you still time to update though ;)
take care dear and greetings from Italy.

How interesting, reading about starting work. Ahh, as someone who will (hopefully) be experiencing this soon, it's nice to hear someone's own personal experience. Best of luck settling in!ReplyDelete
that office would be amazing! :)ReplyDelete
great blog! XO
the well-traveled wife
What an exciting new adventure...yet another one to already add to your unending list! I'm sure you'll master everything in no time. You're fabulous like that. :) xoxoReplyDelete
I work in architecture so I totally know what you mean about endless unrealistic deadlines and silly abbreviations. If I am honest, I blagged my way in to my current job (I later admitted this to my bosses who said they would have remained oblivious if I hadn't said anything)and I was totally clueless for at least 3 months. Now that I look back on it, those first few months (although terrifying) were really good. You are oblivious to the politics, getting to know everyone and learning new things. It's just a matter of time before it all becomes second nature!ReplyDelete
Don't yearn for the future. Learn from the past and relish every minute of the present. Before you know it, you'll be an old hand in your new office and it will be you dropping the acronyms as if you were born speaking their language. Good luck xReplyDelete
best wishes in your new job. i bet you will get the hang of it in no time!ReplyDelete
Congrats on the new job! I look forward to hearing about your design work.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new job! Seems you're doing great. Enjoy and belated happy birthday! I wish you many more happy birthdays!ReplyDelete

|Sehnsucht nach Stille - Longing for Silence 38,5 x 48,5 cm pastel by Karin Goeppert
I've read in the Wall Street Journal
recently that ever increasing chunks of me
are being outsourced to a number of
service providers situated somewhere
in the Nile Delta. A suburb of Calcutta. Even a
cave in a Pakistani tribal area inhabited by
white-clad religious enthusiasts (to put it mildly)
is equipped with components taken from yours truly.
I was wondering about the sudden weight loss. If anyone
knows where missing parts (departments, entire divisions)
can be located please contact me ASAP. You can
find me at the game arcade "dining" on sloppy Joes.
Just step inside and give a holler. If there's
no answer to my name, however, have the
decency to leave at once, remembering
I never existed anyway, and that you, under the spell
of rapacious, inexplicable appetite, will soon be
slumped in a corner, near a row of exploding
video games, eating a chili-dog, licking your fingers, knowing
that you're soon going to need a shot of Fernet-Branca
or some baking powder in water, anything to ease that burning
overstuffed feeling. That burden of self. Happens every time.
