So in other games players are stuck an alignment to gain a bonus but Marvel War of Heroes avoids that. Instead players can choose which cards they want in their deck without worrying about losing a buff. A lot of players though still have questions about which alignment is best and that's what this will address.
The main three alignments are Speed, Bruiser, and Tactics.
There are a couple reasons why speed is the best alignment at the moment, first and foremost being (Friendly Neighborhood) Spider-Man. As far as Ultra Rare cards go, Spider-Man is the best. The reason is he is the only Ultra Rare at this moment that has an attack boost to one alignment. This means that all speed cards get his boost and it is a high percentage boost because it is focused to only attack and only one realm. Other reasons that Speed is currently the best alignment is because many of the rewards from the first event such as Fox-Trot Nick Fury and Maria Hill are speed based and decent for their rarities. Finally, the referral card which is easy to come by is speed based.
I would consider tactics cards second best at the moment. Despite bruiser having two Ultra Rare, both of them are self buffs. This means that although they may have powerful cards, the deck as a whole is slightly weaker. Ultra Rare quality Iron Man is the second best card in the game at the moment offering a boost to attack and defense of tactics alignment.
Bruiser has to be the third best for a couple reasons. The first reason being that despite being the only alignment with two Ultra Rare cards it lacks the highest level buff to a specific alignment. Both Speed and Tactics have an Ultra Rare card that boosts the alignments attack or defense, but Wolverine is a boost to selfs atk/def and Hulk is a boost to selfs atk. The upside to Bruiser is that there were several Rare, SR, SSR Thor released onto the market making it a little easier to create a high level Bruiser deck than a high level tactics deck.
There are two of what I would call Sub Alignments, Hero or Villain
This only comes into play for activating special combos in cards. To gauge with sub alignment is better we need to look at skill boosts. Currently, Hero is FAR SUPERIOR to villain as a sub alignment. At the moment there are only three boosts to villains that I am aware of and all of the cards that receive the boosts are sub par.
I felt this was worth mentioning because when looking for speed/tactics/bruiser cards to supplement your deck, it should be important at this point in the game to look for heroes. Unless the combo skill you have doesn't require all five.
Of course in the future as new cards release this could change.

Marvel Alignment
2 comments:
My question is I have two UR (friendly neighborhood) Spider-man. Should I keep them as is, or would it be beneficial if I fused them? (they are both maxed level and mastery).ReplyDeleteReplies
Personally, I would always fuse them but I understand why you wouldn't. I guess you'd have to weigh how much your deck will suffer from not having two of his buff going off vs the stat increase.Delete
So I guess fuse them and max them once you have a nice card to replace the one you'd be losing.

Then I came across the Hummingbird. It's like my 2 loves in 1. It has the crumb structure of a carrot cake, the ooh la la sweet fragrance of ripened bananas and as an additional bonus - the juiciness of crushed pineapples. Made these 4x so far and it has always received good reviews from my kind audience. I've adjusted the recipes from the original in a few ways and also tweaked it in my first 3 attempts, finally arriving at a recipe that has a crumble that gives bite but wouldn't totally collapsed upon cutting, is not too sweet from being sugar-laden and has defined tastes of both bananas and pineapples.
I forgot to also add that it's very easy to make. ITS A CAKE EVERYONE SHOULD TRY TO MAKE! =)
2 cups cake flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup castor sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3.5 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh crushed pineapple
2 cups mashed roasted banana
1 cup roasted walnut pieces
1. Prepare the bananas and pineapples ahead of baking. Roast 6 mid-large ripe bananas at 200C for 8 minutes, flip and roast another 5 minutes. The skin will turn black, the banana will be mushy and your house will smell wonderful. Mash and keep 1 side. Peel and cut a ripe pineapple, chop 1 cup of pineapple into fine pieces and keep both the fruit and juices. Roast the walnuts at 200C for 5 minutes, be careful not to burn them.
Let the bananas and walnuts cool to room temperature.
2. Sift the flours together and add cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, soda and salt to it. Mix well.
3. In another bowl, mix the sugars together and add the eggs. Whisk well. Add the oil and vanilla, whisk to emulsify.
4. Add the flours into the sugar/egg mixture and stir lightly to just combine. Do not use electric mixers.
5. Stir in the pineapples, then bananas and walnuts.
6. Pour into 26 cupcake liners and bake for 20 minutes or 2 8-inch lined round pans for 30 minutes at 170C.
Note: Cakes will dome slightly so use less batter if cupcakes are not meant to be too high or use more to make into muffin style cakelets. Cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
I used a mixture of cream cheese and swiss meringue buttercream, added a good dose of lemon and vanilla bean paste, mixed well and piped a round dollop then added a dried pineapple flower piece on top. Or, just stick a whole walnut piece atop for simplicity sake.
Swiss Meringue Buttercream (SMB) from Sweetapolita.
5 egg whites + 250g fine grained sugar- in a clean mixer bowl over simmering water, whisk constantly until sugar has melted. Using the electric whisk, beat at high speed until mixture is thick, glossy and the bowl has cooled to room temperature. Switch to paddler attachment.
Add 340g unsalted butter (cubed and softened) gradually at low speed until buttercream is silky soft.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or up to half a lemon), 2 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to combine.
Weigh the above amount of SMB and measure out cream cheese equivalent to 80% weight of the SMB. IE: if the SMB weights 500g, the amount of cream cheese should be 400g. Beat slightly softened cream cheese (removed from fridge for about 3 to 5 minutes only) until light and fluffy, then add the SMB and mix well to incorporate.
Note: The above SMB will yield much more than the amount needed for this batch of cupcakes but I generally make this amount and take the amount needed, then freeze the rest. It can keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
For pineapple flowers, refer to this site for step-by-step instructions.

This was one of her first ideas Sharon proffered. I think a pub themed party is so great for the difficult category of "manly" events. A pub is the quintessential friendly atmosphere that encourages gathering, singing and general merriment. If your man loves sports, you can easily move the focus to game colors, or even a golf bend with more of a "old boys" club atmosphere.
Having been to a pub or two in England, Ireland and Wales, I felt quite qualified to take this project on. Based on Sharon's first set of lists, I created a concept for an invitation and logo that would get the mood set for the event. The one I show in this collage is great for a couple (did you get Stud and Nag Pub reference?), but I also have another focusing on the man of the hour (the Cocky Lad Pub).
Taking it further: Do you have a wood bar in your house that sets the tone? What about renting out your local pub for the party? How about finding a piano player to get the pub songs going? Or better yet, ask some of your friends who can play instruments to bring them and play. Don't forget to send out a song list and print copies of the words. That will get everyone singing along!
Here is a quick collage of images to get your creative juices flowing. I have more inspirational images on my Pinterest board here. Don't miss the party food menu ideas and a great playlist Sharon pulled together after the photos. You'll have your pub party atmosphere in no time, mate!

A short shout for Tuesday as I head out to pick up some lunch; I know, TMI. But a brotha's gotta eat!
Anyway… I particularly liked the look and feel of this 10-minute short film by London-based filmmaker Shola Amoo who calls it an experimental surreal thriller he co-directed with Nosa Nedion titled Reparations For The Soul.
Brith Ashley Walters (who we've written about several times already) stars in it, as do Kyla Frye, and Michael Maris.
Shola says he co-owns a production company Precise Pictures with Nosa Nedion, and their mission is to create "visually stunning and original work."
Shola's provided biography:
SHOLA AMOO has participated in both The Soho and The Royal Court Theatre's "Young writers group", culminating in his short play "Metamorphosis" being performed at Soho Theatre in 2008. Shola subsequently went on to develop two features plays; these were: "A Decade Under The Influence" which was performed at The Young Vic Theatre and "Abdul", developed by The Old Vic New Voices and performed at the Jerwood Space. Shola is an award winning filmmaker, his first fiction short "The Hydra" a neo noir drama that he wrote and co-directed, won best film at the BFM shorts awards 2009. The success of "The Hydra" led him to intern at Film 4. Shola then went on to write and co-direct the supernatural thriller "Reparations For The Soul" starring Ashley Walters. "The Prayer" is Shola's latest short film. It will premiere at the Samsung women's international festival in India in July 2012. Shola is currently developing three projects at the National Film & Television School (NFTS) where he studies under the prestigious Toledo Scholarship. He is also developing work under Precise Pictures with Nosa Nedion".
Shola adds that Reparations For The Soul was created as part of a social campaign to raise awareness of the consequences of youth violence (particularly black on black).
You got my attention Shola; we'll be watching as you progress.

When superstar track and field coach Bill Bowerman met talented middle-distance runner Phil Knight, an unlikely partnership was formed.
Bowerman was looking for lighter, more durable running shoes for his Oregon University Runners, and Knight was searching for a way to make a living without having to give up athletics all together. The two put their heads together and came up with a shoe that featured outsoles modelled on a waffle iron – unconventional, but somehow it worked.
Bowerman and Knight named their new venture Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory, and began selling their shoes from out the boot of a car. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a sports industry market leader, and its distinctive 'swoosh' logo is arguably the most recognisable brand logo on the planet.
Despite this success, Nike's mission statement remains the unchanged: To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Because if you have a body, you're an athlete.

Back in the day, I used to remove files from the Java folder by hand. Trouble is, I'm getting old and kept forgetting which filenames I needed to delete. I had a couple of disasters caused by me removing the wrong files that resulted in my BlackBerry coming out of an OS upgrade as a paperweight with a white screen.
I had the idea of making up old DOS batch files to do the job for me and this grew into CrackMem version 1.0 which had a quite archaic user interface. Many revisions later and we have the familiar sky blue panel of CrackMem 3.x and up.
CrackMem was designed to try and make it easy to save memory when upgrading and it has now grown to support a number of BlackBerry devices and OS versions.
The program now handles up to nine BlackBerry OS and will remove a wide variety of modules from the OS. It is important to note that CrackMem does not remove modules and files directly from the phone. CrackMem only ever (apart from Vendor.xml) works with files on your PC hard disk and never on your phone. That responsibility belongs to Desktop Manager and you should use CrackMem to condition your new OS before you put it on your phone. If you run into trouble upgrading then you can use the program to brick your phone back to JVM 507 by using the Wipe Device button. This uses the RIM Loader program and will wipe the phone and then begin the OS load process immediately after the wipe.
Obviously the preferred way to upgrade is via Desktop Manger and there is a button to run that too.
CrackMem is continually being upgraded as new OSs and BlackBerry devices are released. Each new release builds on the previous version and nothing is taken out.
Happy Crackin'
CrackUtil is the next step along from JL_Cmder. Like JL_Cmder it is just a front-end for the RIM program Javaloader. CrackUtil is prettier and it's "killer feature" is the built in File Manager which allows you to remove or even add files to or from you BlackBerry.
When you run the program it asks for a phone password. If you have one, it only remembers it for the current session. If you don't have one then click either button.
Most of the Javaloader functions are there and the program is split into three screens. Opening the program after the password screen brings you to a screen where you can press any of the buttons and nothing bad will happen to your phone. The worst you can do here is to delete the phone's log file.
There are buttons for
- Set Device Time (set the time to that of the PC)
- Take Screenshot (what it says, really)
- Retrieve Event Log (just like Alt-LGLG)
- Clear Event Log (same a Alt-LGLG, Menu, Clear Log)
Screen2 is the File Manager and here you can Add or Remove files from your phone. Interestingly files you remove are not actually deleted. They are stored, due to a quirk of Javaloader, in the CrackUtil folder so that you can put them back again if you wish and have not crashed your phone.. This screen is really unique to CrackUtil and is really the reason that the program got written.
There's only three buttons and they are
- Retrieve File Listing
- Remove File From Device (and saves it to C:\Program Files\CrackUtil)
- Load File to Device (puts a specified file on the phone)
The final screen is just a push button JL_Cmder. You can wipe your device or remove a residual IT Policy but only if you are running OS 4.3 or better. On the other hand, this is the screen where you can brick your phone very quickly.
Again there are three buttons to play with.
- Wipe Device Applications (same as Options, Security Options, General Settings, press Menu, select Wipe Handheld)
- Wipe Device File System (Back to JVM 507)
- Reset IT Policy (for OS better than 4.3)
CrackUtil is a really handy utility that, in the right hands, can help you really optimize your phone. If you remove a theme, for example, it uninstalls it from the phone as well as removing it. In reality kudos go to RIM and Javaloader for this.
Use CrackUtil badly and remove the wrong file from your phone and you may just have a plastic brick sitting in front of you.

The shortage of high-quality impact investment opportunities with the potential to generate both financial and social returns remains a critical challenge for the industry. There is a growing sense that the profile of enterprises investors would like to see—particularly in terms of quality leadership teams and business models—is not reflected in the pipeline of enterprises actually emerging. Meanwhile, philanthropic and aid donors supporting this sector are increasingly frustrated, as examples of large-scale impact remain few and far between.
Scaling Out: The Forgotten Side of Scaling
In the past few years, my colleagues and I have observed two important aspects of this problem in our work across India and Africa.
One of these is the "pioneer gap," which we first wrote about in 2013. This is the lack of support for social entrepreneurs pioneering new business models through the critical stages of validating their models and preparing for scale. These ventures particularly need more capital that is more risk-tolerant, patient, and flexible than conventional return-seeking investment capital—in short, greater philanthropic funding.
The other is the need to address "ecosystem scaling barriers," as my co-authors and I described in our 2014 report, Beyond The Pioneer. Across myriad business models in the preparing for scale stage, many barriers lie outside the firms themselves—for example, in the industry value chain, in public goods, or in government—and are difficult for individual firms to address effectively. Yet the great majority of scaling efforts are focused exclusively on pioneer firms and neglect to address the systemic issues that will continue to constrain scale. We recommended greater effort around industry facilitation initiatives that work alongside firms to remove these barriers and accelerate scaling.
But there is a third aspect to the scaling challenge that has received relatively little attention to date—namely, the role entrepreneurs who follow the first pioneers play in taking promising models to scale. Instead of creating entirely new models or solutions, these subsequent entrepreneurs build on existing breakthrough ideas that have yet to achieve their scale potential. These entrepreneurs have the potential to bring a stronger set of skills and experience to the development of an idea than the original pioneers, and as a result can be better positioned to scale. They might also be able to take existing models to new customers and new geographies, particularly as markets that serve the poor tend to retain stronger elements of local differentiation, compared with the increasingly globalized and interconnected markets serving richer communities around the world.
But while "following" or "replicating" are convenient terms to describe these endeavors, they run the risk of considerably understating the degree of challenge involved. Many of these entrepreneurs need to exercise a great deal of boldness and ingenuity as they adapt, and often improve on, the original ideas that inspired them. For this reason, my co-authors and I used the term "scaling out" in a recent report, Hardware Pioneers, to describe this process of taking ideas far beyond their original progenitors.
Where Ideas Have Scaled Out
Perhaps the most famous example of this process is the microfinance institution (MFI) model, which dramatically scaled out across South Asia and Latin America. In India, many MFI entrepreneurs were able to establish themselves much more quickly than the original institution; Equitas and Ujjivan took one and four years, respectively, to reach operating breakeven, compared with Grameen Bank in Bangladesh which took 17 years. While some of this reflects the benefits of learning gleaned from the pioneer's experiences, it is important to note that later entrepreneurs tended to have more of a commercial background, and therefore brought a stronger suite of business skills and experience to their efforts.
This process has also been taking place more quietly in other sectors. For example, the illustration below shows the evolutionary "tree" of the low-cost sanitary pad manufacturing idea. The idea started with founder Arunachalam Muruganantham founding Jayashree Industries in the south of India, and later spread to the rest of India, the Middle East, and Africa via a diverse range of entrepreneurs. Similar to the previous example, later entrepreneurs such as Jaydeep Mandal were more intentional about building a scaling business, and brought new skills around product design and marketing that further developed the original idea.
Intentionally Scaling Out
We believe there is great potential for the sector to build powerful engines that intentionally scale out ideas, solutions, and tried-and-tested business models. Development in this area could significantly evolve the social enterprise ecosystem over the next 5-10 years, dramatically enhancing the impact of social enterprises and generating stronger, higher-quality investment pipelines for investors.
One important reason for this is that the impact enterprise sector is more mature than it was 10-15 years ago. A number of business models now have profitable, growing pioneer firms, at least in some markets, and we understand much more about where market opportunities lie, which models work, and how they work.
However, there is a dramatic asymmetry in knowledge and understanding between experienced participants who are well established in the social enterprise sector (investors, funders, advisors, facilitators, and experienced entrepreneurs) and the wider pool of individuals out there who represent the potential talent base for future enterprises—particularly since many of these individuals still reside in the mainstream commercial world.
As a result, great ideas and great talent do not coincide in the social enterprise ecosystem to the extent that they do in the mainstream commercial world. We believe this not only results in too few strong ideas for businesses, but also keeps many talented individuals—people who want to come up with new ideas but can't, and yet have valuable commercial experience—outside the impact space.
Despite this, those in the impact enterprise and investing ecosystem—from incubators to investors—remain largely reactive rather than pro-active in their approach to the problem of a weak entrepreneurial pipeline. This is based on the unsafe assumption that great talent and great ideas will naturally occur together or naturally find each other. Meanwhile, communications from this ecosystem to the wider world—and therefore to the pool of potential entrepreneurial talent—tend to be inspirational or general in nature, without any intentionality around the kinds of ideas or models that new entrants could adopt or adapt.
And while there is a growing range of supports for impact enterprise, as a philanthropically funded ecosystem it has the tendency to gear toward what is usually called "innovation," but in reality is better described as novelty. The new, exciting ideas pique interest and attract funding, support, and recognition, while older, more-established ideas struggle to get attention. But, in fact, the replication and adaptation of older ideas is also an innovative process, and one that frequently requires substantial support before an enterprise becomes investable.
Nevertheless, we feel there is a growing appetite for more-evolved models of both impact investing and impact enterprise support—models better adapted to the realities of the impact environment than the Silicon Valley venture capital sphere. Impact investors—particularly those with access to donor resources—could more pro-actively "build their own companies" by partnering with high-caliber entrepreneurial talent. At the other end, philanthropic funders and their intermediaries could create stronger public-good guiderails to spur the emergence of more—and stronger—enterprises around the most promising and exciting opportunities.
Learning from the Past, Designing for the Future
Over the next few months, we intend to deepen our understanding of this area and develop ways to advance the field around scaling out. We hope to draw on not only our past work in India, but also the collective experience of other players across the world, including Fundación Chile in Latin America, and SELCO Labs and Aravind in India. We also hope to engage and learn together with other efforts, such as the recent replication initiative launched by Connovo, Enviu, and the Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Santa Clara University, and venture-building efforts by Accion Venture Lab in West Africa.
Together, we hope to develop and advance more powerful pathways for impact enterprise to truly contribute to sustainable development at a global level

A new icebreaking ship – the largest single investment Australia has ever made in Antarctica – will be integral to national security, according to Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
Mr Abbott confirmed in Hobart on Thursday that the government was pressing ahead with the tender, as it released detailed specifications for the ship.
"It's an important part of our economic security, and an important part of our national security, and that's why this is something which is very much committed to by this government," Mr Abbott said.
To be commissioned by 2019, it will likely cost at least the $359 million being spent by Britain on a new polar ship – and could be closer to a new $613 million Chinese vessel.
Environment Minister Greg Hunt refused to confirm the exact allocation with two competitive tenders under way, but said the "design, build, long-term operation and maintenance" could mean a billion-dollar project over the ship's life.
The as yet unnamed new vessel, to be built overseas with Australian participation, would be bigger and stronger than the ship it is replacing, the ageing Newcastle-built Aurora Australis.
The 8000-tonne displacement Aurora has been caught in ice repeatedly with a maximum capacity for constant ice-breaking limited to 1.23 metres at 2.5 knots.
The new vessel's ice-breaking capacity would be 1.65 metres of ice with 30 centimetres of snow above, at three knots. This would set it among Antarctica's most capable, exceeding Japan's Shirase and equalling the US Coast Guard's behemoth, Polar Star.
After last summer's Akademik Shokalskiy besetment, when Aurora was unable to reach the Russian tourist expedition ship, stronger search and rescue demands will be made of the new icebreaker.
Selection criteria include a demand to "support emergency response including search and rescue or pollutant contamination within the Australian Antarctic Territory coastal waters without reliance on other countries' national programmes".
The government also revealed a greater than expected marine science capability in the new vessel, including provision for a drop keel, sea floor mapping and "quiet" engines to enable the use of sensitive instruments.
Two companies, Serco Systems' DMS Maritime, and P&O Maritime Services each have 150 days to submit a proposal.
Greens Antarctic spokesman Peter Whish-Wilson said he welcomed the next stage of the icebreaker's construction.
"But we condemn the government for their abandonment of Customs patrols in the Southern Ocean, and their recent decision not to renew the lease for the ice-rated Customs vessel, the ACV Ocean Protector," Senator Whish-Wilson said.
Andrew Darby is the Hobart correspondent for Fairfax Media. His focus is on Australia's interests south of 40 Degrees South - Tasmania, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. He is the author of the internationally published Harpoon: Into the Heart of Whaling

If this is what recovery is going to look like, it's not going to set anyone's pulses racing.
Sometime this quarter, perhaps this month, the American economy is expected to hit bottom and begin to rebound. But the number of jobs will fall. And fall. And fall.
It's not unusual that an economy improves before the job market does. What's different is that the lag may be unusually long this time, threatening incumbents (from the White House on down) with deafening cries of "jobless recovery."
The problem was illustrated in a pair of government reports issued Thursday. The Commerce Department said that the economy shrank at an annual rate of 1 percent last quarter. That bodes well for the economy because analysts had expected the estimate of gross domestic product would be revised downward to about 1.5 percent.
At the same time, the Labor Department reported that 570,000 Americans signed up for first-time unemployment benefits last week. On the face of it, that counts as good news. The figure was 10,000 below the number of people who had signed up the week before. The closely watched four-week average – which smooths out the weekly ups and downs – also fell a little.
But what these labor figures really mean is that the US unemployment situation is getting worse a little more slowly than it was during the throes of the crisis five months ago. If 650,000 Americans a week hadn't signed up for unemployment benefits in March, 550,000 would rightly be regarded as a disaster.
Thursday's report suggests that unemployment will continue to climb for some time – maybe to 10 percent by November or December.
The two reports point to the apparent disconnect now taking place in many economists' projections. Even as they revise upward their estimates of future economic growth, they're revising downward their assumptions for job growth.
Two weeks ago, for example, a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia found that economists on average had raised their forecast for third-quarter growth from an annual rate of 0.4 percent to 2.4 percent. (For economists, that represents a stunning surge of enthusiasm.)
At the same time, they lowered their projections for job growth. They forecast that unemployment would average a consensus 9.2 percent this year (up from their previous 9.1 percent) and rise to 9.6 percent next year. The forecasters also raised their projections for unemployment through 2012 (8 percent, up from 7.7 percent previously).
If they're right, then this bout of unemployment could be as chronic and long-lasting as the one that occurred during the back-to-back recessions of the early 1980s.
And for many Americans, the watchword of this slow-motion recovery won't be "Fasten your seat belt." It'll be: "Yoke up to the ox cart."

Princess Studies: Fantasy, Work and Happiness, a work in progress and discussion with Eisa Jocson
Eisa Jocson
Dec 08, 2015
Para Site
22/F Wing Wah Ind. Building
677 King's Road
Quarry Bay, Hong Kong
Para Site is pleased to present Princess Studies: Fantasy, Work and Happiness, a work in progress and discussion with Eisa Jocson on Tuesday, 8 December, 7 pm as part of Para Site's ongoing Hong Kong's Migrant Domestic Workers Project.
Following Jocson's Hong Kong premiere of Macho Dancer in 2014, she was invited this year to participate in Para Site's International Art Residency (PSIAR) to investigate the migration of labour and economy of performance in Hong Kong's mainstream service industry, a research trajectory she has previously tackled in the early 2000s. In Hong Kong, one of the moments of intersection between labour and performance occurs in amusement parks, which employ a large number of Philippine professional dancers as entertainers.
Currently in the final phase of her research, Jocson collaborates with dancer Joshua Serafin to manifest her research on physical gestures, props, and body language employed by entertainers in these mainstream amusement parks. In her performance, Jocson examines and deconstructs the intricate programming of the body used to convey an environment of constructed happiness, attainable desires, and reassured wellbeing. The performance is followed by a discussion with Jocson on her performance and research.
Eisa Jocson is a contemporary choreographer and dancer based in Manila. Trained as a visual artist and with a background in ballet, she won her first pole-dancing competition in Manila in 2010, and started pole 'tagging' and other public interventions in New York and various other cities. She then trained in macho dancing and premiered Macho Dancer in Spring 2013. Together with her creation Death of the Pole Dancer (2011) and Host (2014- ongoing), Jocson has since toured numerous European festivals.
The event is free of charge, though seating is limited, so please register your participation through Eventbrite.
The first phase of Jocson's participation in PSIAR took place in June 2015 and was generously hosted by Spring Workshop.
Jocson's research residency and presentation are made possible through support from the Foundation for Arts Initiatives.

Baidu and we've received several emails regarding it: it's touted as a "pre production release Elite Alpha Trooper" and while the idea is appealing, I'm just not convinced. I normally like to just post this info and leave the readers to decide, but for the want of NOT looking like a gullible idiot..
From this image, you can see it's brandishing the original 'N-Strike' logo- something that we now know doesn't occur on Elite blasters (The Jolt and Reflex are featuring repaints, but aren't presented as Elite gear).
The orange on the rear of the blaster looks like it's been painted over a darker colour- grey perhaps?:)
It's still called an "Alpha Trooper CS-18". Other than the Rayven (which is still pretty recent in release, as opposed to the AT which has been around for 2 years) you'll notice every other Elite version has been renamed.
I do love the idea of my all time fav blaster being released in Elite colours and performance; I just don't think this is it. Thanks for all the emails regarding it though- everyone loves a good rumour:)

Rumours: Elite Alpha Trooper? Nahhh..
Posted by Pocket. Esq. at 18:09
4 comments:
they should have made a raider alpha trooper hybrid and been done with that. I dislike the front grip on the alpha trooper but dislike the side magwell on the raider.ReplyDelete
I agree, the grip was always my only real complaint on the AT(besides limited availability)ReplyDelete
Here's to hoping if they ever do make an Elite AT (and they should!) it has a pistol grip for priming!
That Baidu also has images of the plunger. It is in fact a direct plunger and seems as if a rampage plunger was fitted into the new alpha trooper shell. Very little has been done to change the rest of the internals.ReplyDelete

text: Hello, The "defanged" flag (-D) causes msfweb to reject all attempts to use the "Exploit" and "Check" commands. This can be useful if you want to share your payloads online, but do not want people to relay attacks through your server. Dino Dai Zovi reported a security flaw in msfweb that would allow a remote user to bypass the "defanged" mode flag. This flaw affects any users who run a publicly exposed instance of msfweb with the -D option. This problem is caused by the StateToOptions() function in msfweb, which will overwrite the temporary environment variables with user-supplied values. The msfweb service will check for the "_Defanged" environment option before allowing the "Exploit" command, but only after StateToOptions() has already allowed user to change its value. The fix has been pushed to msfupdate, the 2.4 snapshot, and will be included in version 2.5 (released within the next month hopefully). A patch was made to msfweb that rejects all user-supplied environment variables that have a leading underscore character (the specifier for "system" options). The msfweb service will be completely rewritten in version 3.0 and these hacks will no longer be needed. As the documentation states, exposing a msfweb instance to the world is a security risk, especially if you do not run in "defanged" mode. Besides being able to relay exploits through your system, an attacker could abuse some of the payload features to manipulate local files and eventually run arbitrary commands. Thanks again to Dino for finding and reporting this bug, not many people are brave enough to audit the msfweb source :-) -HD

Today was an interesting day at Mass. It was the first Sunday Mass with our new pastor. It was very obvious that he knew that this transition for our parish is not going to be an easy one. The parish is an old parish with members who have been attending there for 30+ years. Needless to say, we are the "newbies" even though we have now been parishioners for a year. Little things he did differently than our former pastor were immediately frowned upon by many there. I really pray for him and for this parish. Even though we rarely know the reasons why the different happenings in our life occur, there can ALWAYS be something learned if we only open our hearts. This is a maxim of life that I learned many, many years ago and makes the rough patches of life so much easier to bear! Time will tell how it all goes.
One of the things that Msgr talked about during his homily was about the references in the Old Testament reading as well as in the Gospel reading to shade. He mentioned how when he was an Army chaplain and in the desert, the soldiers wanted to find shade. But, shade isn't always "free". In the desert, where there is shade, there are scorpions, snakes and other desert creatures also looking for shade.
I couldn't help but think of this as an allegory to life these days in America. As Christians, we work hard and see being in America as our "shade". But we need to remember that seeking rest in the 'shade' doesn't always equal respite. Mary sat in the shadows of the cross. Her time in the shade surely didn't equal a respite. Instead, it was filled with pain and sorrow.
What are we being called to route out of the shade here in America? The next election needs to be considered carefully. In case it helps, check out this video…

Just a flying visit, but altogether more uplifting than our last trip to the Derby show.
There were some very nice games on show, but i didn't have my camera so just grabbed a trio of images with my phone.
All of the ones that caught my eye were colonial games:
Big Sudan game
Rorkes Drift
All of these I recognised from the Lead Adventure forum and they all looked great.
My haul was relatively modest - a bag of Kallistra 12mm Great War British so I can crack on with the project James and I are cooking up for Partizan, some light blue paint from the Tree Fellas because I needed some and theirs is cheap and good and some large round MDF bases for putting trees and a Kraken on.
Then Steve and I went to the pub.
All in all a good day out.

stage play
Polí5 and tranzit.cz
invite you to
the stage play, being organised by Polí5 as an important contribution to the 2017 elections
'Find a second or third job, or it won't be a nice plump goose we tuck into but a scrawny bag of bones. And don't think I'm prepared to gnaw on bones forever! I'm only human and I have my limits and boundaries just like you! It's up to you to decide under what circumstances we meet here next time, if we're going to be chasing bones around the pan with shit-covered fingers or gorging ourselves on a big fat juicy bird!'
A naked stripper is writhing on the table in the middle of a large rustic kitchen. A political representative preparing to roast a giant goose will interrupt her performance because, as he says, there's another striptease about to take place. And no-one can deny that. After the stripper leaves, he begins to expose the tumescent enormity of his passion for guzzling roast goose in one sitting. He even names the roast Zuzanka...
Thus begins the play by the dramatist, prose writer, collagist, librettist and comics writer, composer, lyricist and leader of the band Ruce naší Dory, who writes under the pseudonym S. d. Ch.
The play was entered for the Ferdinand Vaněk Award. This is a competition that was organised for the second time in 2015 by the magazine World and Theatre, which contacted leading European playwrights and asked them to write a short play on a political theme.
19. 10., 7pm
Dittrichova 9, Prague
the play lasts 50 minutes

Have been thinking of using the osmanthus flowers my sister brought me from Taiwan.
I love apple, when using it in bakery, it always comes with cinnamon.
So, when I first saw the recipe of osmanthus apple cake months ago, I quickly kept it & had been excited to try it out.
I could smell the cinnamon & osmanthus, the cinnamon doesn't overtake osmanthus but blends nicely to create a subtle, delicate & floral scent.
The cake is light, soft & moist with a crispy surface.
I love it!
It will be a new addition to my breakfast menu.
adapted from here (Chinese)
150g unsalted butter
150g unsalted butter
3 eggs
125g + 15g sugar
250g plain flour
50g corn flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp soda
3 apples
2 tbsp dried osmanthus
1/4 tsp cinnamon
80ml milk
Mix & sieve all the flours.
Warm the milk then infuse with osmanthus.
Peel & slice the apples, reserve slices of one apple for cake topping.
In a cooking pan, cook the apples with 15g of sugar & cinnamon until soft, then pour in the osmanthus milk & leave to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk butter with sugar until pale & fluffy.
Add one egg at a time & whisk to combine.
Blend with the flours, then the apple batter.
Fill in the pan & put the apple slices on the top.
Bake at 180'C for 45 - 60 min.
You can substitute osmanthus with jasmine.

text: Griffin tells the LA Times that he can hardly wait to restart his career: "Griffin, the Clippers' power forward, has been pain free after a long and winding road of rehabilitation, and restrictions on his activities were lifted in May. But Griffin, a few days before Thursday's NBA draft in New York, talked about a recent breakthrough and sounded like a little kid who had been allowed to sit at the table with the adults. 'I was so excited just to play one-on-one again,' he said in a telephone interview. 'I was asking Craig [Smith] and Mardy [Collins] if they wanted to, 'All right, can we play one-on-one?' The self-deprecating Griffin chuckled, adding: 'It was kind of sad.' Griffin was speaking from a long day of commercial activities in New York and was not planning to stay for Thursday's draft. The Clippers have the No. 8 pick, barring any last-minute deals, so they could have two first-round picks in the lineup making their NBA debut together this fall. Griffin was forced to develop new qualities since he suffered a stress fracture of his left kneecap in the Clippers' final preseason game — and sat out the entire regular season. 'I'd like to say I found out how to be patient, I guess,' he said. 'Really, just wait things out, take your time and not rush things because there's so much that goes into coming back.' There will be, apparently, one small modification. 'You're going to see the normal Blake,' he said. 'I might save the jumping over the scorer's table for the regular season. I'm gonna play hard, though; that's how I was taught to play. It's the only way I know how to play."'

Spring can be a challenge for me. I am eager to get things done after the winter melts away. However, weather changes heighten my MS symptoms. I know they will calm down as the weather becomes more consistent. In the meantime, I fight extra fatigue and pain. I have recurring numbness in my right leg that is super annoying. Anytime my legs bother me, I get a little extra anxious that it might be the start of stupid MS affecting my mobility.
In other fun news, about 9 weeks ago my niece found a stray cat and took it in. Friday it presented her with a thank you gift - four kittens. They are so cute and she is a good little mama. I would like to go on public record - we are not getting one of the kittens! Sure, they are tempting, but I have a big hang up about the litter box situation. And do I really need more pet hair? Did I mention, the kittens are adorable??
Like every spring, I have the gardening bug. Saturday, In my mind, the sooner I get it planted the sooner I will be enjoying the fresh veggies. Should I just roll the dice and hope we don't get another killing frost? Not quite yet. To get my gardening fix. I stopped by the Community Feed and Seed to see if there is anything new that I "need". They have a great selection of bulk seeds, but I didn't buy any this time. I still have quite a few seeds leftover from last year. .
Why is it that you put a shell on a slug and it becomes adorable, but without a shell they are slimy and gross??? My garden might need one of these little guys.
Now this is embarrassing. It turns out my green thumb is not so green. These are my broccoli seedlings... .
I also bought unions. I mostly grow them for the green tops, but the selection was so pretty I am going to let some grow to maturity. .
Our weekend ended with a grill full of delicious dinner. I cooked a little extra asparagus and peppers so I would have leftovers to put in the egg muffins I am going to make in the morning.
Morning update: The egg muffins made with the grilled veggies from last night. I added a little sausage, cilantro and a sprinkle of cheese. Each one comes out to 42 calories. A good grab and go snack.
In other news, I think we are going to be looking for a half marathon soon. My husband ran 10 miles this morning!! I still can't process how quickly his running is progressing. If you have any advice on the half marathon, please share. I am especially interested in nutrition advice.I have to make sure my man is properly fueled during training :) He runs first thing in the morning and prefers to eat afterwards. We are trying to balance his desire to lose a little more weight and his need to get enough calories to support his running.

Learn about using the open source version control system Subversion to manage your Oracle JDeveloper 11g projects, whether you're working on your own or as part of a team. In this installment , learn how to create a repository and start using Subversion for version control in a single-user environment.
By John Stegeman
Published December 2008
Have you ever worked on a document, perhaps a term paper for school, and saved multiple copies over time so you could go back to an earlier version? Perhaps you've done the same thing in a programming project in which you saved multiple copies of your source code as you made changes, in case something went wrong, so you could go back to a prior stable version. If you've done either of these things, you've used a rudimentary form of version control.
For anything but the most trivial projects, however, you will quickly outgrow this simple method. You'll also find this rudimentary method lacking if you work in a team environment where changes need to be shared among team members as well as tracked over time.
Development projects have been using formalized version control systems as a best practice for quite some time. Version control systems have several benefits for individuals as well as teams:
Even for simple, single-developer projects, there are significant benefits to using a standard version control system. This article shows you how to get started on using a popular version control system (Subversion) with Oracle JDeveloper 11g.
Many version control systems are available today, both free and pay-to-use. Some you may have heard of are CVS, git, Microsoft Visual Source Safe, Perforce, Rational ClearCase, and Serena Dimensions, to name just a few. With all the available choices, why would you choose Subversion? Here are some of the reasons I selected Subversion for my Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF)-based projects:
Because different version control systems use different terminology and, in some cases, different approaches to managing revisions, let's explore a few key Subversion concepts:
A repository is a central location Subversion uses to store files and their revisions over time. Whereas some version control systems, such as git, provide a decentralized repository, Subversion uses a centralized approach.
A working copy is a local copy of some of or all the files from the repository that has been brought from the repository to the user's local machine for modification. The process of obtaining a working copy from the repository is called "checking out."
Subversion uses a copy-modify-merge paradigm for dealing with changes in a team environment. Some other version control systems use a lock-modify-unlock paradigm, wherein users must lock a file to modify it and unlock it when they are finished with their modifications. Although Subversion supports this approach, it's normally used only with binary (nontext) files. With Subversion, multiple users can make changes to a file at the same time; in such cases, the multiple changes are merged (either automatically or manually).
An excellent free e-book is available for download that explains these concepts in more detail.
Before you can start using Subversion to store the revisions of your application, you need to set up a repository and provide access to it. Subversion provides three main ways to access a repository:
Although Oracle JDeveloper provides support for creating local repositories and accessing them via the file: protocol, this method isn't very useful unless you are the only developer working on your project. The most common access method for Subversion repositories is via the HTTP/HTTPS protocols, using Apache. To create a repository and serve it up via Apache, you have to install and configure some software or connect to an existing Subversion repository. For some of my Oracle ADF projects, I have used commercial Subversion hosting services that provide a Web interface to create and administer repositories; this can be a convenient option, because the hosting firm will take care of backup for you and often provides integration with issue tracking software as well.
If you want to create your own repository, you will need to install and configure the Subversion software as well as Apache and the required modules. Many Linux distributions come with Subversion and Apache already configured. For Microsoft Windows, a company called VisualSVN has created a Windows installer for installing the Subversion software, a preconfigured Apache HTTP server, and an easy-to-use administration console. Although you can certainly install Subversion and an Apache HTTP server separately and use the command-line repository administration tools to create a repository, using the VisualSVN Server ( www.visualsvn.com/server ) is a quick way to get started.
The installation of VisualSVN Server is very straightforward; just download the installer and run it. I've included a screen shot of the important part of the setup, wherein you specify where the repositories should be stored, the port for the Apache HTTP server, and where your Subversion server should get its user and group information. I've specified options that are appropriate for a standalone installation, using HTTP (not HTTPS), and elected to manage my own users and groups instead of using the Windows users and groups:
The installation takes only a few moments and creates a Windows service called Visual SVN Server. At the end of the installation, you'll be given the option to start the VisualSVN Server Manager:
VisualSVN Server Manager, you should see Repositories, Users, and Groups nodes. For this article, I created a repository called otn, by simply right-clicking the Repositories node and choosing Create New Repository... from the context menu:
In the Create New Repository dialog box, simply fill in the repository name and check the check box to create the default repository structure (more on that in a minute):
That's all there is to creating your first Subversion repository! If you expand the otn repository in the VisualSVN Server Manager, you'll see three directories: "trunk," "branches," and "tags." This three-folder top-level structure is a commonly used convention for structuring Subversion repositories. Although you can use any top-level structure you like, the trunk-branches-tags structure is almost universally used, and I recommend that you follow the convention. The purpose of each of the directories is as follows:
To show how Subversion works with multiple users, I also created two users for this article, by right-clicking the Users node in the VisualSVN Server Manager and choosing Create User.... My two users are named john and josephine.
Now that you have a Subversion repository, you can place your application under version control in your new repository (a process known as importing). Oracle JDeveloper provides a GUI interface to make this task quite easy. For this article, I'm using the simple Oracle ADF Fusion Web application with the standard two projects (Model for the Oracle ADF business components and ViewController for the UI); if you'd like to follow along, you can download the application from the link provided in the "Resources" section at the end of this article.
To place the application under version control, ensure that the application is the current one selected in Oracle JDeveloper; then select Version Application... from Oracle JDeveloper's Versioning menu:
When prompted, select Subversion as the repository type:
If you don't already have any Subversion connections defined, Oracle JDeveloper will prompt you to create a Subversion connection. If you already have one or more Subversion connections defined, you'll be given a list of repository connections to choose from. For this article, I hadn't defined any connections yet, so Oracle JDeveloper prompted me to create one. To create the Subversion connection, you need to know the repository URL. To get the URL by using the VisualSVN Server Manager, simply right-click the repository and choose Copy URL to Clipboard from the context menu:
You can then paste the URL into the JDeveloper dialog box. After providing a username and a password, you can click Test Read Access to make sure everything is set up properly:
The next step in importing your application is to specify which directory in the repository is to hold the application. As per our earlier discussion about the conventional layout of Subversion repositories, the trunk directory is where the main line of development occurs, so that's the destination of our imported application:
The next step is to indicate where the application's source directory is on your local disk; Oracle JDeveloper usually gets this information right, and you won't have to change it. Whenever you perform any action against a Subversion repository, it's a good practice to provide a comment about what you did; the initial import of the application is no exception, so we provide a helpful comment:
The next step of the import is to tell Subversion which files and directories we want it to ignore. We don't usually want generated files (such as class files), temporary files, and so on stored in the Subversion repository, so we need to tell Subversion to ignore them. Without going into great detail about the mechanism, suffice it to say that Subversion uses a special property to identify what should be ignored. Oracle JDeveloper provides a good set of default ignore patterns, although you can add your own by using the Filters dialog box:
When you import your application into Subversion, the original files on your local disk remain just a bunch of local files; the local copy has no connection to the repository at all (it's just a local copy and not a Subversion "working copy"). The normal next step after importing your application is to delete your local copy and check out a working copy from the repository. Oracle JDeveloper gives you a shortcut in the next dialog box, Options:
Now you can review the import options summary and complete the import:
You can watch the import process progress in the SVN Console Log window of Oracle JDeveloper. Once the import is complete, you should see the progress of the checkout operation (if you checked the check box to automatically perform a checkout after the import). Once the checkout finishes, have a look at Application Navigator (you may need to click the refresh icon first). You should now see a lot more information, as shown here:
The local copy of the application is now a Subversion "working copy," meaning that the copy is associated with the subversion repository. Subversion maintains this association through the use of hidden directories in the working copy named .svn, as shown below:
You shouldn't alter the contents of the .svn directories, because they are maintained automatically by Subversion.
Now that our application is under version control, let's make some changes to the application and save them to the Subversion repository. We make a simple change to the Regions entity object (EO) in the Model project to set its tuning properties for update batching:
After making the change and saving the EO, you'll notice a few changes reflected in Oracle JDeveloper. First, the state overlay icon for the Regions EO has changed to an asterisk, telling us that we have local changes that have not been saved (or "committed") to the Subversion repository:
Second, if you view the Subversion Pending Changes window:
you'll see the Regions.xml file you modified listed as an outgoing change:
The Pending Changes window is a handy place to see which files in your current application have been changed in your working copy (Outgoing), which new files have been created in your working copy but not added to Subversion (Candidates), as well as what changes have been made in the Subversion repository by someone else but not applied to your working copy (Incoming). For now, because I am the only developer working on the application, there are no incoming changes, just the one outgoing change.
Next, I'll complete my set of changes by setting the same tuning property for the Employees and Jobs EOs in the project. Once I've done that, the state overlay icons and Pending Changes window reflect that I have uncommitted local modifications in three files:
Now that I've made my changes, I'm ready to commit them to the repository. I'll do that by committing all of the changes in my working copy, using Application Navigator's shortcut menu:
When I select Commit Working Copy..., Oracle JDeveloper prompts me to enter a comment. As we know, we should always provide a helpful comment so that the project team can see, at a glance, the changes that were made:
After the changes are committed, the SVN Console - Log shows what was done:
The state overlay icons also change back to filled circles to indicate that there are no uncommitted local modifications. The version number of the files I committed has also been incremented to show that the files are at version 3:
The Pending Changes window shows no outgoing changes (we have committed all the local changes):
You now have the information you need in order to start using Subversion with Oracle JDeveloper 11g in a single-user environment. The next article in this series will explore how things change when you add other developers into the mix and start making changes simultaneously.Go to Part 2 | Back to TOC

IDM Mining just announced some huge news this month.
It's a junior mining stock that I actually bought last year in a private placement and own right now.
Take a look at this stock market mastery technical analysis chart.
I got a circle on the chart at the time of the private placement that I bought.
That's the first circle you see from back in 2016.
You can see that IDM went up with the gold stock sector and came down with it at the end of 2016.
Like the rest of the gold mining stocks it is now consolidating.
And that's where the second circle comes in.
The stock is trading between 17 cents and 14 cents and when it goes through 17 I believe it will then go up to its next resistance zone of last summer.
I expect we'll see gold stocks breakout one by one of consolidation zones like this to begin the second leg of a big new bull market for them that began last year.
After the first big left of a big bull market you typically see a sharp pullback and then a consolidation phase.
Now what is the news IDM Mining announced?
IDM Mining owns the 17,125 hectare Red Mountain Project located in northwestern B.C., 15km northeast of the town of Stewart and in Nisga'a traditional territory.
Discovered in 1989, the property was explored extensively until 1996 by Lac Minerals Ltd. and Royal Oak Mines Inc., with 466 diamond drill holes and over 2,000 meters of underground development completed, along with extensive engineering and environmental baseline work. Additional studies were completed over the past 12 years by Seabridge, North American Metals Corp. and Banks Island Gold Ltd.
An economic preliminary assessment study finds that this project can be put into production to do the following:
Preliminary Economic Assessment
Base case economics utilize a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce and silver price of US$15 per ounce and an exchange rate of C$1.00 equals US$0.80.
The pre-tax base case economics indicate a Net Present Value (NPV) of $133.1 million at a 5% discount rate with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 42.4% and a 1.9 year payback of initial capital.
The after-tax base case economics indicate a NPV of $86.6 million at a 5% discount rate with an IRR of 32.3% and a 2.0 year payback of initial capital.
Due to the wide nature of the mineralized zones, the majority of the deposit is amenable to bulk underground longhole mining methods. The project utilizes a year round design processing rate of 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd) and underground mining rate of 1,500 tpd for 8 months per year.
Average life of mine head grade is 7.0 g/t Au and 21.5 g/t Ag
Life of project direct operating cost is estimated at US$441 per ounce of gold recovered. Net of the silver by-product, costs drop to US$418 per ounce.
Initial capital costs are estimated at US$89.0 million, CAD$111.2 million, which includes a 10% contingency.
The economic model assumes base case gold recovery rates ranging from 90.1% to 88.0% for gold and 84.6% to 76.0% for silver, depending on the mineralized zone.
Average annual payable production has increased by 25% over the 2014 PEA to 70,000 ounces of gold and 194,000 ounces of silver.
Mine life is estimated at 5 years with a 15 to 18 month pre-production period.
Opportunity to reduce project capital costs include sourcing used mining and processing equipment and possible sharing of infrastructure costs for the road and powerline with an established independent power producer looking to develop a run-of-river hydroelectric project adjacent to the proposed mill site location.
Opportunity to increase potentially mineable ounces through the conversion of additional inferred resource by way of infill drilling, as recommended by JDS, and through immediately proximal exploration efforts.
What is more IDM Mining has some heavy investors in the company and this project.
Just a few weeks ago Osisko Gold Royalties invested $15 million in a private placement with IDM!
Osisko has now taken a 19.95% stake in IDM!
And this money is going to be used to put the Red Mountain project into production.
You can read the details of the full press release on Osisko's investment here.
You also can find out more about IDM Mining at its website www.idmmining.com.
At the time of this post I own a position in IDM Mining. I mentioned the private placement in the private Power Investor group when I found it and got into it. My updated holdings disclosure is here.
If this is the first time you have come to this website then you need to get on my action update list by going here.

A Knitting Christmas
This fall I finished making a huge needlepoint stocking. After that, feeling stitched out, I decided to get back to knitting. Earlier this year I posted about learning to knit European style while on a long distance flight.
Before Christmas I made two scarves to give as presents. I challenged myself to try a lattice pattern, more complicated than I'm used to. Both were a success! And I loved returning to knitting.
My knitting sister gave me all kinds of terrific knitting related gifts. I've been devouring Ann Hood's new collection of knitting essays called Knitting Pearls. Hood is a wonderful writer and an enthusiastic knitter. If you haven't seen her Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting, that book is also a winner.
My sister also gave me a most useful wooden spool for holding the wool while working on a project. It keeps the ball of yarn from hurdling off the table or sofa to careen under the furniture just as you are trying to make a complicated cable.
While in Maine for the holidays and I made two dishcloths (easy and quick) and one wool head warmer. Before heading home to Florida I bought wool to make a tunic requested by my daughter, as well as yarn to make matching sweaters for my two youngest grandsons. With this in hand, I believe I am no longer just an occasional knitter, but a real knitter, dreaming not only of the stories I plan to write, but of the projects I'm going to knit.
Here is the pattern for the dishcloth, given to me by a dear friend in North Carolina. Years ago, she knitted Christmas stockings for my two children. Now, can you imagine a more generous friend than that?
SIMPLE DISHCLOTH: easy enough for a beginning knitter and makes a great hostess gift.
I ball of cotton yarn (I bought Sugar'n Cream 2 oz.)
Needles in 6,7, or 8 (Smaller needles make a tighter weave. I used 6's)
Cast on 4 stitches
Row 1: knit
Row 2: knit 2, yarn over, knit to end Repeat row 2 until you have 44 stitches or desired size
Next row: knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together and knit to end
Repeat until ending with 4 stitches on needle.
Bind off and weave ends.
