FRIENDS and family are to gather at the last place Kirsty Aitchison was seen alive to celebrate the mum-of-four's life.
Speaking through family friend Derek Todd, the family have broadcast a message of thanks for the outpouring of support and help while 30-year-old Kirsty was missing.
He also revealed how the family has been touched by those donating to a JustGiving page in Kirsty's name which has reached over £12,000.
Speaking on behalf of Kirsty and her ex-partner Stuart Allison's families, Derek Todd said, "Both families would like to say thank you for your kind support, love and thoughts.
"They want to thank you from the bottom of their hearts for the fundraising. The money is wonderful and we are overwhelmed.
"No money will replace Kirsty but every penny will support the four children and their futures."
Yesterday, Stuart Allison, father of Kirsty's four children – Stuart, Ava, Mia and Lauren – promised her children will never forget her, in a moving message to the tragic 30-year-old.
Friends and family of Kirsty, who was deaf and a British Sign Language (BSL) user, have been in mourning since her body was discovered near the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow on Saturday night.
To help them grieve, the family have invited Kirsty's friends to come to a memorial gathering on Wednesday June 22.
It is taking place on the Broomielaw, where well-wishers have been leaving floral tributes.
They have asked those attending to bring along a helium-filled balloon in pink, Kirsty's favourite colour.
At 8 o'clock Kirsty's family will let go of one balloon only, and then all her friends will let their balloons go into the sky in memory of the mum-of-four.
Kirsty vanished in the early hours of Sunday, June 12, after enjoying a night out at popular bar Campus on Sauchiehall Street.
She was last seen walking barefoot near the Broomielaw area.
Police say her death is not being treated as suspicious.
Chief Inspector John McBride commented: "We would like to thank members of the public and the Deaf/BSL community for their support and assistance throughout this investigation.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with Kirsty's family and friends during this difficult time."
Her disappearance sparked a campaign throughout the deaf community and beyond, with dedicated accounts being set up via social media and searches taking place throughout the city in an attempt to bring her home to Robroyston.
And, since the heartbreaking conclusion, her loved ones have put their efforts into fundraising for her funeral and "her children's futures."
A crowdfunding page has so far raised more than £10,000.

The Kamele ngoni (young persons harp) is a harp-oud from the Mandingue region of West Africa (especially Mali and Burkina Faso). This instrument originates from the 6 string donso (hunter) ngoni which is instrumental to hunter ceremonies, accompanying the singers praises of great hunters and taunts to other hunters to prove their hunting prowess.
The donso is normally accompanied by a karagnan, a metal scraper that produces a repetitive element to the often heady and hypnotic hunter melodies. A great example is Malian donso Sibiri make.
The Kamele n'goni is an instrument of growing popularity in West Africa and around the World that allows players to be involved in this music outside the strict hunter societies of Donso music or the hereditary Griot lineages which accompany instruments such as the Kora. It has been popularised significantly in the Wassoulou region of Mali through artists such as Oumou Sangare whose music includes donso and kamele n'goni.
Afro-Eire teach and perform Kamele ngoni music from Mali and Burkina Faso. The music is learnt by Paul McElhatton on field research in Bamako (Mali) and Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) with Ibrahama Sanou in 2006 and Griot Drissa Diarra 2008, and in workshops in Ireland with long time student of Kamele ngoni Jean Marc Collin.
Afro-Eire also construct and sell high quality Kamele ngoni's in Ireland.

Short story: qt-4.8.4 on Fedora 16 might offer you crashes when clicking the menu in the panel. I had this on my main user account, but not another account. Downgrading to 4.8.3 solved this with the exact same .kde, .local et al in place.
The crashes offered my g_iterator type things in the backtrace. Nothing juicy that I could try to work backward from. Digging around seemed to show theme stuff, pointing at the nvidia drivers (which always comes up in searches), and there was a bug I found along the way mentioning qt 4.8.4, so I reverted to 4.8.3 from a mirror that had the old packages still around.
I decided to update the laptop before a trip on thursday, and this was of course when I discovered this little bundle of joy. I'm not sure which part of my config was causing this, but at least I can now use the laptop with my desktop of choice while away!

This is such a pretty table, Tracie! I love Home Decorators catalog. They aren't as pricey as Ballard's but have a lot of similar items. You might want to look at Homegoods for things to put on the walls...I was so inspired at what I saw there when we redid our family room.

Altheas current day job is producing DVDs for the BBC. She is also a voting member of The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).
Greek Catharsis in Magic
Theatre has long been associated with pagan religious festivals.
Focusing on the Theatre Dionysia Festival and its purpose in Greek society and religious practice, we will actively explore the ancient Greek practice of magical ritual theatre, and briefly discuss its connection and relevance to modern pagan practices and rituals.
The bulk of this workshop will be "hands on." Using modern (and ancient) acting methods, you will learn and practice a banishing / releasing technique that will bring new power and focus to your releasing rituals and spells. Learn how to pinpoint and focus your intentions by marrying the most powerful words (verbs) with sustainable physical actions. Learn how to channel your deepest emotions and intentions into those actions, creating a more powerful and cathartic release.
Masks in Ritual
Do you have fabulous masks that youve made or bought that decorate your altars, adorn your shelves and otherwise lay dormant? Bring them back to life! Masks are not just theatrical adornments, but powerful tools that can unlock the doors that connect us with deity, spirits and elementals.
In this workshop you will learn tried and true acting exercises, methods and games that will help you discover those connections. Working with a variety of masks, you will learn a process for cleansing and clearing your own physical and emotional "baggage" and then how to "take on" the qualities of a given mask. Then we will experiment with communicating and interacting with other "masked" creatures. You will leave with practical and usable methods to deepen and empower your use of masks in circles, rituals or for private journeys.

What a lovely idea this is, Wendy! Not only will you have a lovely keepsake to look back on, but the grandchildren will enjoy it too, when they are older. As usual you are making a lovely job of it, too. So sorry to hear that both you and little Keaton went down with the flu, and hope you are feeling better now. I've managed to escape everything so far, but my poor hubby had the Noro virus and was very sick for a couple of days. He is now suffering from a very painful hip and saw the doc the other day, but is now on ant-inflammatories and feeling a bit better.ReplyDelete

Ultrabook pricing needs to come down significantly, if PC manufacturers are to see the levels of shipments earlier forecast for the thin-and-light notebooks with Intel inside, California-based research firm IHS iSuppli reported Oct. 1.
IHS dropped its 2012 Ultrabook shipment forecast from 22 million units to 10.3 million, adding that more than half the expected shipments will happen in the fourth quarter, after Microsoft's release of Windows 8.
In August, IDC reported that the entire PC market will remain "depressed until Windows 8 products hit the shelves."
IHS also lowered its Ultrabook shipment estimates for 2013, from 61 million units to 44 million.
Further reading
"So far, the PC industry has failed to create the kind of buzz and excitement among consumers that is required to propel Ultrabooks into the mainstream. This is especially a problem amid all the hype surrounding media tablets and smartphones, Craig Stice, an IHS senior principal analyst, said in a statement.
"When combined with other factors, including prohibitively high pricing," Stice continued, "this means that Ultrabook sales will not meet expectations in 2012."
IHS advises that Ultrabook pricing be lowered from around $1,000 to a $600 to $700 range next year, in order for the devices to enter the mainstream. With lower prices and desirable features such as touch-screens—an increasingly common feature included to complement Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 operating system—a "good chance exists for strong sales in 2013," wrote IHS.
With the "nebulous marketing and unappealing price" of Ultrabooks overcome, the research firm added, the market could see a rise in shipments of more than 300 percent in 2013.
IHS expects Ultrabook shipments to grow to 95 million units by 2016, which, along the way, will help the long-term growth of components used in the notebooks, such as motion sensors.
The firm added that, while Intel, the chip maker that designed the Ultrabook designation, hasn't given up on the category, at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in September, its attention was instead turned to "Haswell," its fourth-generation core microprocessors that will begin shipping in mid-2013.
The Haswell chips will offer still better performance with lower power consumption and so become the "main core microprocessor for Ultrabooks."
In April 2011, Intel said that 75 Ultrabook designs were poised to enter the market. At IDF this year, it said there are 40 Ultrabook designs in progress with touch-screens.
With the Microsoft-Intel relationship a critical one, Intel issued a Sept. 26 statement responding to what it called "unsubstantiated news reports" regarding comments made by Intel CEO Paul Otellini.
The same day, Bloomberg reported, citing an unnamed source, that Otellini told employees in Taiwan that Windows 8 "is being released before it's fully ready."
Otellini reportedly added that releasing the OS "before it's fully baked is the right move, and Microsoft can make improvements after it ships."
The Intel statement noted that the companies have a "long and successful heritage" of working together and "Intel fully expects this to continue with Windows 8."
The statement continued:
Intel, Microsoft and our partners have been working closely together on testing and validation to ensure delivery of a high-quality experience across the nearly 200 Intel-based designs that will start launching in October. Intel CEO Paul Otellini is on record as saying 'Windows 8 is one of the best things that ever happened to Intel,' citing the importance of the touch interface coming to mainstream computing and the huge wave of exciting new Ultrabook, tablet and convertible device innovations coming to the market.

Sin Chew Daily
There has been a minor last-minute amendment to Najib's address at this year's Umno general assembly, inserting a strongly worded criticism against President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and his intention of relocating the US Embassy to the divided city.
Diplomatic and international issues have hardly become the mainstay of Umno's assemblies, but this time Washington has emerged the focus of the party president's two-hour speech while triggering incensed responses from the audience.
The delegates rose and chanted slogans, their wrath targeted clearly at Washington and Israel.
This could be attributed to Najib's powerful political acuity. He is well aware of the world view of the Malay society as well as party members' herd instinct.
Although he is in no way an anti-American politician, he has only two agendas around which the entire general assembly is revolved.
Firstly, to unite party members and fire up the Malay masses outside the PWTC auditorium.
Secondly, to create common enemies and set the mood of the masses in fighting alongside him against these rivals.
Trump's rash decision on Jerusalem has ignited the wrath of Muslims worldwide, and as a party that practices Malay nationalism and upholds religious faith, Umno cannot wash its hands of this whole matter.
Najib has attempted to strike a chord with the Muslim community by highlighting the Jerusalem issue at the Umno assembly not only to consolidate his leadership but also to fight for the approval of the Malay society.
This also sets the direction of the debates that will soon follow.
PAS has initiated protests and Umno must not be outdone this time. It will be the second time the two parties have worked together for a common cause after the Rohingya refugee issue.
To Umno and PAS, Jerusalem is going to be a project the two parties will work on, in collaboration and in competition as well.
Jerusalem is like a chorus that is suddenly inserted into the body of a song to resonate with the listeners but will never take the place of the main theme which is Mahathir/DAP.
Everything still needs to go according to the original theme, Mahathir and DAP being Umno's ultimate enemies and Anwar a convenient target of ridicule.
In last year's event, the delegates held back at their criticisms of Mahathir, but with the former PM now in official duel with Umno and heading the opposition pact, Najib will no longer need to worry about possible backlash from party grassroots.
The collaboration between Mahathir and DAP has allowed Umno to construct a logic, that Mahathir is out to bulldoze Najib's agenda and Malay dominance by colluding with DAP, arguing that once this gets its way, Najib and Umno will be brought down instantly and the Malay dominance will end officially.
Whether the logic holds water is highly subjective. Indeed non-Malays have dismissed it as a joke while urban Malays may not necessarily buy the idea.
But, to the rural Malays, this argument definitely has a ready market, and the Malay swing voters may lean towards Umno due to religious or racial concerns and their worry of an increasingly powerful DAP.
This strategy can both cement the Malay fundamental support base and woo the middle voters, including some of Pakatan Harapan's sympathizers.
This, is the theme of this year's Umno general assembly, and will very well become the theme of the next general election.

When I think that June and July are going to be busy with brigades coming and going I get overwhelmed. We've been busy without any brigades here. Brigades are great though. We look forward to working with the folks that come down from the USA to help the people here by providing medical and dental services and providing eyeglasses for those who need them.
Some of you have heard of Let's Start Talking. We had two retired couples who came in March /April to teach English classes using the Bible. That's what LST does. There were 29 students who graduated from the classes and we are continuing to follow up with them. I (Lowell) called each of them this past week-end to invite them to a Bible study we'll be having on Monday nights. It will be in English and will help them with the language and since we'll be using the Bible we'll be teaching them the gospel as well. Several of them had some nice comments for the LST teachers that they really enjoyed studying the Bible and learning English at the same time. We're hoping they will find our Monday night classes helpful, too. There are two or three more groups of LST teachers coming in the next three months so hopefully this will continue to grow.
I had an opportunity to preach in April. I gave the lesson in English and René Rosa translated. This also is an encouragement for the folks who are learning English as it gives them more practice listening and then the translation helps them. I'm scheduled to preach again in June. I hope several of them will come.
Robin, Jacob and I traveled out of the country in mid May. It was a lot easier than our trip to Belize last year. We just got on a bus here in Santa Rosa de Copán, rode for two hours to the border, walked across into El Salvador, hopped on another bus for ten minutes and arrived in San Ignacio. Then we walked ten minutes to a hotel/resort and stayed for two days. When we returned we had another 90 days permission to stay in Honduras. Doesn't that sound easy? You can read more and see some pictures later on this blog.
The congregation had a retreat planned for the week of Semana Santa (Easter week). Robin and I didn't go because we were asked to help with a couple who had come from a S.C. church to visit some preachers they were supporting. Bob and Leah Davis were a joy to be around as was Nathaniel, who was with them. We were able to visit three families with them in three different locations close to San Pedro Sula, the largest city in our area. We also met the new couple who just started working with one of the congregations. These families are committed to the cause of Christ even though they live in some pretty difficult situations. One congregation has lost three church members recently from violent crime. One of the daughter's of one of the preachers was accosted on her way home from school but escaped. Another of the preachers runs a bus ministry and picks up 40 – 50 neighborhood kids and brings them to church. They bring problems with them but he and his family are committed to changing their lives for the better. Click here to read more.
Our team held a two-day seminar for the leaders of the Occidente region in which we live. We were also asked to teach two classes at the lectureship at Baxter Institute in Tegucigalpa. Both were well attended and there were great comments during and after the classes. René and Josúe did most of the teaching. Their teamwork is incredible to watch. There is always a lot of action going on in their classes. No one has an opportunity to get sleepy. And the way they include everyone in discussion makes for a much better class than just hearing a lecture.
Another of my opportunities I'd like to mention is going with Angie and Karol to one of the elementary schools where I started the school day with a devotional. Angie and Karol teach a program called DESEO at four different schools. Their goal is to teach the children to grow physically, mentally and spiritually. We men on the team take turns teaching a devotional before the children start classes. I was given the character Zacchaeus. I had a script and got the children to act out the story. We had fun with it. I made the point that Jesus can change our lives as he did Zacchaeus'. The secondary point was that he may have been a "wee, little man" because he didn't eat right when he was a child. Angie and Karol then used that to teach their classes on nutrition. I'm not sure how much the kids learned though. I noticed when they had recess a lot of them went and bought chips and pop (Coke for you southerners). Angie and Karol do a great job. Parents are asking the teachers at school why their kids are now praying at home before meals. Little by little they are learning.
I have been put in charge of Tuesday night Bible study for the children. Our goal is to get the men of the congregation involved in teaching the kids as we usually leave this to the women. We've had some training sessions so far and the first group of men will start this Tuesday night. We are using the same curriculum as the DESEO program uses. We figure these kids at church need to learn the same things. The other thing we are trying to accomplish is to get positive, Christian male figures into the lives of the children. Many of them live in families where the dad has abandoned them.
Notes from Robin –
I stay busy with the regular activities in our home and with Jacob finishing up his Junior year of high school. We continue with the Friday and Saturday evening Bible studies and the random group of young people, also, different ones come over for meals. I am on the May schedule to teach in our Sunday school – I work as co-teacher with the 5 – 7th grades. Last Sunday there were 24 students in this class!
We've added a Thursday afternoon activity. For the month of May Liliana Molina and I are teaching sewing classes to neighborhood girls. The course is called "Sewing For Christ" and the time begins with a lesson from the Bible and moves into how to sew. We meet from 2 until 5 in the afternoon. The sewing class will continue after this course (designed with 4 classes) but with older girls next time. Also, May 7thsaw 18 ladies from the congregation gathered at our home for an evening of study, fellowship, and fun. This was the initiation of a new program that will carry the ladies through the year with a quarterly class to touch base – something like "Secret Sisters" but there are no secrets … just new buddies. I am also working on a series of Bible lessons for women and the children in our sewing class. A young lady from the congregation, Dineth, helps me with translation and Zonia Rosa helps me with the final editing. This is proving to be quite a job but very rewarding. You can read more about these activities in our blog later as Robin posts them.

Bridgewater's Infection, Prevention and Control Team is made up of specialist nurses who can provide advice and support on all matters relating to the prevention of a number of infectious diseases and the actions that are required to reduce infection.
The team are available to give this specialist advice to the public, healthcare workers and other community agencies when required.
You may have heard of the term Healthcare Associated Infection or 'HCAI', this term is used to describe infections caused or picked up by patients whilst having a healthcare intervention, i.e. operation or wound care.
The aim of the Trust's infection, prevention and control team with our staff is to ensure that staff and people who use the services understand their responsibilities in reducing infection, and take steps to do this.
This may be through good standards of hand hygiene, staying away from healthcare premises when ill with diarrhoea or flu for example, and following basic cleanliness measures.
Hand hygiene
All staff are trained in hand hygiene and must undertake regular audit to provide evidence that they are doing this correctly.
If you're visiting healthcare premises you too should wash your hands on entering and leaving and at other times if you feel they are contaminated.
You may also use the alcohol hand rubs that are situated on walls before as you enter clinics and hospitals.
If you feel hand hygiene is not being performed appropriately on our premises or by staff then please contact the Trust infection, prevention and control team who will take up this matter for you.
Environmental Hygiene
The Trust is very keen to improve upon and maintain the cleanliness in our clinical premises.
The cleaning services we use are asked to clean to national cleaning standards, and our staff are expected to maintain cleanliness throughout the day by cleaning the equipment they use between patients.
All clinical premises are audited annually to provide evidence that the environment is clean and where standards are not met actions are taken immediately to rectify this.
If you are unhappy with the cleanliness of the clinical environment please contact the Infection, Prevention and Control team.
MRSA (Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
Although there are lots of bacteria that can cause harm, 'MRSA' has been a particular problem to patients receiving healthcare.
Whilst infections due to MRSA have reduced over the years because of better cleaning and care in hospital and community, patients in hospital and the community will have concerns about this bacteria and we would therefore refer them to the NHS Choices's MRSA webpage, where they can read the most up to date information.
MRSA and Hospital
If you or a family member is going into hospital you will be screened (swabbed) in several areas around your body and nose to see if you have the MRSA bacteria without knowing.
If the swabs show that you have the bacteria on your skin or up your nose you may be asked to use ointments and skin washes to remove it.
The hospital or community nurses will advise on this.
Advice for those affected by MRSA outside of hospital
If you have MRSA, a leaflet with information and advice for managing your day-to-day life has been developed by the Department of Health and Infection Prevention Society.
This leaflet has good information about managing MRSA and infection and answers common concers that you, family and visitors may have.
View or download this leaflet.
Clostridium Difficile
Clostridium Difficile is a bacteria that can cause diarrhoea and is often associated with patients who have had a number of antibiotics in hospital or in the community.
It is a major cause of infection and symptoms range from mild or quite severe. Patients with Clostridium Difficile require prompt medical and nursing advice and care, and will be contacted as soon as a diagnosis is made.
You can read more about Clostridium Difficile by clicking on the link below, this will take you to the NHS Choices's Clostridium Difficile webpage.
How to contact the Infection, Prevention and Control Team
If you require any further advice or information please contact the team via the main switchboard 01942 482630 and ask to speak to an Infection, Prevention and Control Nurse.

Fairy Fae is one of my favorite DD images! Why? I LOVE BUTTERFLIES! I have two tattoos on my body, they are not exactly small tats either...but...they are both Butterflies and they are both someplace where no one is going to see them unless I want them too! Butterflies represent new life, souls, angels, beauty and freedom.
I used a fun bubble frame die and a lacy edge punch. I added some ribbon and some gems. I made the butterflies 3D by printing them out another time and cutting them out. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.

Our Wichita pediatric dental office is here to care for kids' smiles, and a big part of a healthy mouth is a healthy diet. While a healthy and balanced diet is important for everyone, it's especially important for kids. Growing children need proper nutrition to build strong bones and teeth to set them up for a healthy life.
What to Choose
- Milk – This probably comes as no surprise as milk is always a popular recommendation from pediatricians and pediatric dentists, and for good reason. A powerful provider of calcium and phosphorus, milk is a great choice to help build strong teeth and bones.
- Yogurt – Yogurt packs a healthy dose of protein as well as calcium…both of which are important for proper bone and tooth development.
- Cheese – Rounding out the dairy food group, cheese not only provides kids with calcium and protein, it helps neutralize acids which protects teeth against cavities.
- Broccoli – Broccoli is another great source of calcium, and one of the best vegetables your kid can eat to get their recommended amount. Though it's best if eaten raw, lightly steamed broccoli can still be hugely beneficial.
- Blueberries – This colorful fruit is one of the best foods your kid can eat. Loaded with antioxidants, blueberries can protect against toxins. Plus they have a high manganese content which keeps bones strong.
What to Avoid
Choosing the right foods for your child's growing body and smile is important, but avoiding those foods that can be harmful is also just as vital. There's a quick and easy test to see if it's a food you should take a pass on, or choose to let your kids eat in moderation. Ask yourself: Is it sticky? Is it sugary? Is it left in the mouth for a long time (like a lollipop)? If the answer is yes to any of those, it's best to look for an alternative.
Proper nutrition is only one part of aiding in tooth development. It's still important for your child to maintain a healthy at-home oral health routine of brushing and flossing every day, and keeping regular appointments with his Wichita pediatric dentist.
Whether you're concerned for your child's dental health, or you're just looking for a dentist to care for his smile, we're more than happy to help. Give our pediatric dental office in Wichita a call to schedule an appointment today.
Welcoming patients from Wichita, Maize, Goddard and beyond.

Bryon Bay Writers' festival
On the 7th August I will be appearing at the Byron Bay Writers' festival- exciting.
I will read some of my poems and talk about children's poetry. Candida Baker is the festival director and once many years ago Candida was involved in a writing contest in The Age.
In fact Candida was the judge of a small competition to write like Georgette Heyer- has anyone read Georgette Heyer? I loved her books- occasionally I do back and read one of her novels and revel in the language and Regency world.
It was a time in my life when I had been desperately holding back the urge, the compulsion to write- when my busy family and farm demanded much. But I knew I could do this. So I mentally set myself a rule of my own. If you win this competition, then Lorraine, I give you permission to take writing seriously and set a little bit of time aside to do this...
One Wednesday weeks later I opened The Age and there, yes, there was my name listed as one of the three winners! Yahoo!
And the prize( oh how I would have loved some money) was nine copies of the newly reprinted classics of Georgette Heyer( and these are the volumes I now dip into.)
Would any readers like me to print this winning paragraph next time? Let me know.
I now laugh at such ridiculous high stakes to give myself permission to follow a passion over which I have little control. But now that Candida and I are hopefully going to meet at Byron Bay, I know that threads do begin to weave into a pattern- eventually. And I also know that I'd love to write an historical romance in Georgette Heyer style- how different to poetry...

Thank you for all the lovely comments! It's great when a non-knitter/recipient appreciates the item, acknowledges the time, talent, and tenacity needed, but to receive praise from other knitters is the ultimate! I feel like when an actor receives an award that was voted on by his industry peers.
The above picture is a detail of the outer pattern, the Interlocking Diamonds. I really like that pattern.
This is the edging that took the entire drive home from Bancroft. Well, I had the band of YO, K2tog done, all that was left was the cast off row. I wanted it a little more 'bobble-ly' and less picot-ish, but it's still nice. I cast off four, then chained 4, joined in the same st as I started from.
As mentioned, the center square is the Charlotte Doily. I had used it earlier for a cotton blanket/playmat: I had thought that doing a doily pattern in worsted weight cotton, would make it close to baby blanket size. Umm...not quite. I wish I had used larger needles for this blanket, and I also wish I had the blocking wires. I don't know if I stretched it at all when I blocked it. For the cotton blanket, I followed the pattern and knit the stitch between the increase yarn overs through the back loop. I didn't really like that, and this time, did it normally.
This is the very center of the blanket. I used the Emily Ocker cast on but it got a little skewed somehow.
I love how the silk content gives a little crispness to the blanket. The earlier lace blankets that I made/designed that were in acrylic do seem so beginner-ish now, although acrylic was probably the best choice for those recipients (including my own babies, LOL). I enjoy designing them, although I don't like the word 'design'. I just take patterns from the stitch dictionaries and put them together.
I had a few issues this time. Although I know about making sure to have equal number of YO/K2tog on the partial repeats at the edges of the wedges, I didn't always pay attention to how it would look overall. I became really aware of that with the band of single diamonds, and opted to not have any partial diamonds at the edges. But in the Feminine Diamonds sections....there's a few places I'm not impressed with. I also wish the ribbed triangle wedges in the Charlotte Doily matched up the pattern repeats of the next border.
And, I was really inspired by Stephanie's Wedding Shawl. I really wanted an edging like that! But I also wanted a life in the past 5 months, and I wanted to be able to give it on Christmas, wrapped, without worrying about the needles poking through the wrapping paper, LOL.
And can I make anything crappy? LOL. You know I'd post the pictures :) Have you been reading Timeless Tuesday since I started it? Hot glue and Fair Isle? Mary Maxim picture sweater? Kaffe Fassett in acrylic, in the wrong gauge? LOL. I've just made a hat on my LK150 that is a tad too big. I finally made the tassels. I was using a little kid's book to wrap. One tassel got wrapped the short way around, one tassel got wrapped the long way around! And I won't go into details about the ice scraper mitten I was working on yesterday. Or the many sweaters that just need buttons!
But tune in tomorrow when hopefully I'll have FO pictures of the hat, a pair of felted clogs, and...oh, I guess that's all :)

A man facing murder charges in Colorado may go free if the court finds his right to a speedy trial has been violated, according to local news channel KRDO. The defendant was arrested in September 2008 and charged with stabbing and killing a 38-year-old man outside a Pueblo bar. A year and a half later, his trial has still not begun.
Under Colorado law, setting a trial date is the prosecutor's responsibility. The prosecutor has six months to bring a defendant to trial after the defendant enters his not-guilty plea. In this case, the first trial date was withdrawn after the court learned that an investigator for the public defender's office had an inappropriate relationship with one of the prosecution's witnesses in this case. For unknown reasons, a second trial date was never set.
The defendant and his current attorney are seeking to have the case dismissed because of the year and a half delay in bringing the defendant to trial. They state that the delay has violated the defendant's right to a speedy trial under both the U.S. Constitution and the Colorado Constitution.
In the United States, when someone is charged with a crime, the U.S. Constitution and the state constitutions provide the accused with certain legal rights. When these rights, such as the right to a speedy trial, are violated, they undermine the accused person's ability to receive a fair trial. Protecting your rights when you've been charged with a violent crime is the top priority of an experienced Colorado violent crime attorney. At The Bussey Law Firm P.C., our lawyers strive to make sure your rights are respected while seeking the best possible outcome in your case. If you have been accused of a crime in Colorado, please call The Bussey Law Firm P.C. today at 719-475-2555 for a free and confidential consultation.

A Commerce City police officer this morning shot and killed a knife-wielding man who was described by his girlfriend as suicidal.
The Commerce City Police Department this evening identified the dead man as 31-year-old Nathan Done.
At 9:06 a.m., police responded to an emergency call from a woman in a home in the 6900 block of Monaco Street. She said her boyfriend had strangled her during an argument the previous night and that he threatened to kill himself if she called the police.
She informed officials that he left the house carrying a butcher knife before the police arrived.
Officers found Done on the same block, sitting in his car. He then led police on a three-block car chase before abandoning his vehicle and running back into the same house where his girlfriend had been.
The police could hear loud voices and a woman screaming from inside the house. An officer went into the house and shot and killed Done.
Done, a convicted felon, has a lengthy criminal history including charges for driving under the influence, driving without proper license, forgery and theft.
In April of this year a woman in El Paso County also filed a restraining order against Done. The same woman is named in child custody proceedings with Done.
The police officer, whose name was not released, is on paid administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
"We use an independent investigation team so we're completely hands off of it now," said Lieutenant Chuck Saunier of the Commerce City Police Department.
Adams County Critical Incident team is now handling the investigation.

Back in 2010 I ran a moderately popular minecraft server called Minecraft Square. Its niche was fast hardware with tons of ram in the days when such servers didn't affordably exist. As hosting hardware improved in the industry and my attention span diminished, I sunset and shutdown the server.
However, I kept various server logs and parsing them from time to time is somewhat interesting. Back then we allowed any players to apply to become a moderator, and asked for some information for a panel to review them as a candidate. Below is a graph of their age distribution collected from 2010 to 2011.
Sample size is approximately 345, and the highest bar there at age 14 was 43 applications.
The moderator applicant ages were self-reported. Much later, some players admitted they inflated their age in order to improve their chances in the process through perceived maturity, which confirmed what we occasionally suspected at the time. The distribution graph's bell curve suggests to me that many kids probably did the same, since a vast majority of applicants were 11-16.
There's a steep dropoff at age 17, and my speculation is that 17 year olds wanted to round themselves up to 18, a symbolic age of being seen as a trustworthy adult.

For many students, learning and doing math in school equals doing only problem sets. More advanced or motivated students may end up writing research papers. The math stories approach is more egalitarian because students of any level in terms of math background can write stories in which math plays some role. In fact, in writing their stories, students may end up wanting to learn new topics in math if they are integral to the plot. For example, someone writing a spy story involving secret codes might find it useful to learn more about number theory and cryptography.And
The math stories approach lends itself to interdisciplinary instruction. Not too long ago, a math professor and a dance professor at my university collaborated to teach about the geometry of dancing. I can see some- thing similar for teaching math fiction writing, some kind of collaborative effort between math professors and English professors, for instance. Such interdisciplinary collaboration may be a great way to introduce math-averse literature students to the elegance of math; at the same time, such courses may open the eyes of literature-averse math students to the rich world of fiction, poetry, and storytelling.The article is about teaching game theory.
Resources for thinking, teaching, and exploring mathematical fiction are here.

Sometimes I feel a little guilty about the amount of stuff i tend to accumulate, collect, display and generally live with but I heard a great quote the other day when listening to 'After the Jump'. Megan Auman was speaking with Grace Boney from Design*Sponge in defense of stuff and the way it can enrich our lives (unless you are on the TV show Hoarders I guess). The quote was:
'Savour what you own. Buy what you love.'
and i realised I actually already do this a lot (the savouring that is, as well as the buying!) and I think I will continue to do this, thanks very much!

Power Blackout
Power failure can result from a power station problem, damage to a power line or part of the distribution system, a short circuit or an overload of electrical mains.
Some developing "third world" countries experience power outages for several hours almost daily.
"Rolling" blackouts occur when a power company turns electricity off to selected areas, in order to save power.
Hospitals, various government buildings, telecommunications facilities and other places where the use of power is critical often utilize emergency power generators typically powered by diesel fuel.
Water pressure often drops during power outages, due to water pumps losing power.
The word "blackout" means that power is lost completely; the term "brownout" refers to situations where the voltage level is below the normal required minimum level.
It usually happens with sudden swiftness… hopefully just after you've saved that computer document you've been typing feverishly. But besides the annoyances involved with a power blackout, there are also safety concerns. So these hints are good to remember.
Use flashlights for emergency lighting; candles can often be hazardous.
Turn off electrical equipment that you were using when the power went out.
Leave one light turned on so you'll know when power has returned.
Leave your refrigerator and freezer doors closed so the food inside remains as cool and fresh as possible.
Listen to your battery-operated radio for the latest information updates.

Designer Notes
Do you have a cowboy in your family? I grew up going to my family's ranches over in Colorado and loved to ride their horses, spend time feeding their baby cows and watching my Uncles and Grandpa brand the cattle. Such fun memories. This kit is perfect for those pictures and many others. Rodeo fans, this kit is for you too! Don't forget there is a Cowgirl Up Add On included free in this kit.

I need at add 1.5 tsp cider vinegar to a pie crust and just realized I don't have any. Should I just substitute with water or is there a better alternative?
Do you have another vinegar on hand? Like white wine vinegar, for example?
Unfortunately I don't. I have balsamic, sherry, distilled, wine, and rice vinegars, but not cider or white wine vinegars. Maybe I'm better off just using water for all the added liquid?
I think I'd go with the other wine vinegar, or maybe the rice if it's not too sweet -- what kind of pie are you making?
It's a pear pie with a hazelnut crumble top. Maybe the rice vinegar would be best given my selection. Thanks for your recommendations!
Wow, that sounds good. You're very welcome -- report back if you discover anything about the vinegars!
The distilled is your best best - the rice vinegar is usually less acidic.
