I had planned to post on my friend Love's actual birthday (yesterday) but nothing - and I mean nothing- went my way yesterday. Well, unless you count hubs agreeing to finally watch Chocolat with me last night, and liking it as much as I do. But everything else?
I don't want to talk about it.
Thanks for not bringing it up. Ever.
This is Love's 31st birthday weekend. And I made her these welted fingerless gloves.
It was a new pattern, and one of my most challenging so far. I originally chose a different color and yarn entirely, but after knitting up the first glove it didn't feel right. So I grabbed a pretty blue from my big knitting chest and stayed up until two in the morning the other night to knit a pair.
I loved them, but my tired heart sank; they weren't meant to be Love's.
I went to the knitting shop and found a color I thought she'd like better, and knit them while I waited for my car to finally be repaired at the service center.
When I got home, I still wasn't happy with my work and took it all off the needles and started again.
By now, I know the pattern by heart. And I just finished them, a day late, but they are done. They are handmade, so they have noticeable flaws. But they were made with love, for Love.
[This story is painfully quite the metaphor for many things in my life right now. Can't escape it, even in my art.]
More importantly, Love's only wish for her 31st birthday is to bring water to people that need it. It's $31 to make a big difference, (or even $13, or $1, or your kindest thoughts and prayers to help Love reach her birthday goal.)
Now, about those gloves that weren't Love's. I can't make you give to Charity Water to be entered to win them, but I can certainly encourage you to think about it and consider giving if you can. And if you comment here, no matter if you can give or not, (you don't need to tell me either way) you'll be entered to win the blue gloves with a half-moon button.
I'll choose a winner (I'll ship to anywhere) sometime this week. (I'll let you know here when I do.)
And hopefully I'll have some good news about Love reaching her goal.
Happy Birthday, Love.
*Winner is Zakary (Zdub) ! :)

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A bill to require drug testing for some Indiana welfare recipients with past drug offenses no longer restricts what can be bought with government food assistance.
The Senate health committee approved the stripped-down bill 6-3 on Wednesday, Feb. 19.
The House earlier approved a version of the bill that would've subjected anyone applying for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families to be screened for likelihood of addiction. It also would have limited food stamp recipients to buying only foods deemed "nutritional."
Whether Indiana officials could have implemented the legislation before the changes is unclear.
Efforts to restrict food stamp purchases and drug test recipients of the financial assistance program have met challenges in court and with the federal government.

Martha Stewart Crafts™ Marbleized Glass Tumblers
Material List
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Transparent Glass Paint, Gloss – Bluebonnet, Bright Sky, Meringue and Crystal Clear
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Fill Medium (with Empty Refillable Bottle)
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Stencil Tape
- Paper Cups (or Bowls)
- Spoons
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Glass Tumblers
Project Instructions
Step 1 Prepare tumblers by washing in warm soapy water; when dry, wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove any residue. When dry, tape off an area 1" from the lip of the glass to ensure food-safety.
Step 2 A marbleized surface is achieved by allowing paints of different colors to flow together and "marble" on the surface being painted. To get paint to a flowing consistency, squeeze a generous amount of one Gloss Transparent paint color into a bowl or paper cup.
Step 3 Add a 1:1 proportion of Fill Medium to the paint in the cup.
Step 4 Mix the two liquids together, stirring gently to prevent bubbles. Stir until completely mixed; the paint should coat your spoon, but still pour easily. Repeat with all the remaining colors.
Step 5 Either pour the mixture into the empty refillable bottle for ease of application, or work with a spoon straight from your mixing vessel as follows:
Step 6 Using a color of your choice, squeeze from bottle and pour directly onto the tumbler in sections of varying sizes, turning the glass as you work and alternating colors to achieve the desired marbleized effect.
Step 7 Once your tumbler is completely coated with paint, continue to rotate the glass to move the paint and allow it to marble naturally. If you have any bubbles, simply pop them with a needle or pin.
Step 8 Set your wet piece on an elevated surface, such as the paint bottle cap, and allow it to dry for several hours. The glass looks very opaque when it is wet, but will be transparent when completely dry.
Step 9 Once the tumbler is completely dry, run a craft knife along the edge of the tape to release it and along the bottom of the glass to clean up any edges.
Step 10 All glass paint projects should be cured for durability. Either let projects air cure for 21 days or oven cure. Place a dry painted tumbler in a cold oven; set the oven to 350° and bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the project cool in the oven.

Philly D.A. receives Innovative Community Engagement Award by APA
Philadelphia's top law enforcer was expected to be the recipient Wednesday of an award showcasing the public servant's work in community prosecution. The Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, in conjunction with Target, was planning to hand out this year's Innovative Community Engagement Award to Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams. The award recognizes outstanding leaders in community prosecution. "Like so many of my colleagues around the country, I recognize that community-based prosecution is the linchpin for improving public safety and fostering good community relations," Williams said in a statement released by his office. The award was scheduled to be given out in conjunction with a conference in the City of Brotherly Love this week that brought together national experts on crime reduction tactics who are looking at ways to make neighborhoods safer across the country.

Implement alternatives to jail
I applaud the comments of Judge Evenson, District Attorney Calkins and Human Services Director Orth in support of the Justice Continuum effort, approved unanimously by the Sauk County Board on Aug 20, 2013. It is an idea whose time has definitely arrived. A large number of organizations associated with the criminal justice system have expressed support for evidence-based treatment, diversions, and alternatives to costly incarceration to improve public safety and reduce costs. The list of these organizations include, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Conference of State Court Administrators, the Conference of Chief Justices, The National Association of Counties, the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American Council of Chief Defenders (a part of the National Legal Aid and Defenders Association), the American Jail Association, the American Probation and Parole Association, the American Bar Association, and the Nation Judicial College.

The Independent
Now that George Zimmerman has been cleared of all charges in the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, he intends to reclaim the gun he used to shoot dead the unarmed 17-year-old. According to his lawyer, Mark O'Mara, Mr Zimmerman needs a firearm to protect himself now "even more" than before. Speaking to ABC News on Sunday, O'Mara said Mr Zimmerman, 29, "feels, truly in his heart, that if he did not have that weapon [on the night of the shooting] he might not be here". At the heart of the debate surrounding the case was Florida's so-called Stand Your Ground law, which allowed Mr Zimmerman not simply to carry that gun and use it, but to escape being charged until six weeks after the killing – and only then due to a public outcry.

George Zimmerman Trial: Opening statements launch Monday
(CBS) SANFORD, Fla. -Opening statements are scheduled to start today in the case of George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer accused of murder in the shooting death of unarmed Florida teen Trayvon Martin last year. The high-profile, racially-charged case has drawn the national and international spotlight, and for six jurors and four alternates chosen Thursday, sequestration began this weekend. The jurors will be allowed limited contact with friends, family, and the outside world. However, they will have monitored entertainment and won't be exposed to media reports on the case for the duration of the trial.

George Zimmerman Trial: Will Zimmerman's call to dispatchers boost the prosecution's case?
(CBS) -- The significance of George Zimmerman's February 26, 2012 call to non-emergency dispatchers, placed in the minutes before he shot and killed unarmed Florida teen Trayvon Martin, is likely to be a key issue at the former neighborhood watch captain's upcoming trial. But whether the call will be a boon for prosecutors continues to be a subject of debate. Some experts say the call, in which Zimmerman says he is following Martin in a Sanford, Fla. gated townhome community, could be crucial to prosecutors who are attempting to refute his claim that he killed the teen in self- defense. But an attorney for the 29-year-old former neighborhood watch captain said in a recent television interview that there's "no evidence" that Zimmerman continued to pursue the teen after a dispatcher told him to stop. - CBS News

A Prosecutor's Call: Justice for all
As Congress begins debating immigration reform measures, prosecutors across the country are striving to pursue justice and provide for safer communities. We strive for case outcomes that reflect a balance of punishment, compassion and concern for victims and community, including for offenders who are not citizens of the United States. Individuals who are not citizens oftentimes face immigration penalties that are not conducive to these outcomes. The current immigration system fails to provide clear guidelines for prosecutors and judges who are attempting to provide a holistic approach to law enforcement. -The Hill

The fear factor
THIS IS GOING to surprise almost all of you. America is nearly as safe as your mother's arms. Violent crime has dropped by 50 percent since 1993, and gun homicide is down the same - 3.2 gun deaths per 100,000 Americans in 2011, contrasted with 6.6 in 1993, according to FBI statistics. There were actually more gun suicides (18,735) than homicides (11,493) in 2009, the last year reported. We are living in the safest times since the 1960s - and the plummeting gun-murder rate happened without new federal gun-control laws. This is not to argue against them: As a gun owner, I strongly supported the criminal-background check. These are facts, whether you find them convenient or not. A recent Pew Research poll found that only 12 percent of Americans think gun violence has decreased. - Philadelphia Daily News

APA President David LaBahn Statement on Manchin-Toomey Amendment
"Congress needs to act to close the many loopholes that currently exist in the criminal background check system, including background checks at gun shows and making the straw purchase of a firearm illegal under federal law," said LaBahn.

Federal prosecutor quits racketeering case, as Texas DA murders spark security fears
The murders of two prosecutors in Kaufman County, Texas, apparently has prompted a federal prosecutor to withdraw from a major racketeering case in Houston, the latest sign that attacks on lawmen are having a chilling effect on the judicial system. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Hileman sent defense attorneys an email Tuesday saying he was withdrawing from the case against the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas due to safety concerns. "I understand why someone would want to step back, and it makes sense to me, especially people who have families," defense attorney Richard Ely, who is representing one of the defendants in the case, said. "Jay is a friend of mine, and this was a personal decision." -Fox News

Bipartisan plan on gun trafficking
On Christmas Eve - just 10 days after the massacre at Sandy Hook - a convicted felon named William Spengler, who served 17 years in prison for killing his 92-year-old grandmother with a hammer, sat down in his home in Webster, N.Y., and wrote a note vowing to torch his neighborhood and "do what I like doing best, killing people." Since Spengler was prohibited from buying guns himself, he reportedly asked a neighbor to buy them for him. He went with her to a gun store and picked out a 12-gauge shotgun and a Bushmaster rifle. Then, after setting fire to his own house and several others, Spengler ambushed the first responders by spraying them with bullets. Spengler murdered 19-year-old Tomasz Kaczowka, a young firefighter in training, and his mentor, Lt. Mike Chiapperini, a 25-year veteran, husband and father of three who was recently named Firefighter of the Year. Spengler also shot and injured firefighters Joseph Hofstetter and Theodore Scardino. The families of these heroes will never understand why they were struck down with bullets while trying to rescue someone from a fire. Just as incomprehensible is why anyone would buy guns for this convicted madman. -Politico

The path forward on gun violence
The human carnage attributable to gun violence in America is undeniable. Our shared experience with the Virginia Tech shootings, the Aurora, Colo., theater massacre and the recent tragedy in Newtown, Conn., have most Americans shouting "Enough!" Perhaps the political inertia that has long stalled intelligent legislation to curb gun violence can finally be overcome. Perhaps the political calculus regarding gun safety laws has at last changed from "How can I possibly vote to support such legislation?" to "How can I not support such legislation?" Since 1994, the conventional wisdom has been that acting to restrict gun rights can put a politician on a fast track to a new career. That's part of the reason why Congress and the Maryland General Assembly allowed their assault weapons bans to expire in 2004 and 2006, respectively, and why weak gun controls are treated like an untouchable third rail in swing states such as Virginia. After the horror of Newtown, however, many people are asking if progress is again possible. One should be careful not to underestimate the power of the opposition. It's true that the National Rifle Association (NRA) poured money into last year's election only to see President Obama - and many other NRA targets - prevail. But rumors of the NRA's demise are greatly exaggerated. It remains a potent force, with strong grass-roots organizations across the country and big campaign coffers that it will continue to use in state and federal elections. Calls for leaders to show "political courage" in the face of this strength are not enough. Unless we create a counterweight, gun rights advocates trying to ride out outrage over Newtown may succeed. We need grass-roots organizers, big-city mayors, police and prosecutors to ally with politically moderate gun owners and groups such as the Brady Campaign Against Gun Violence to provide support to officials who want to enact rational gun laws. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Tom Menino continue to show leadership on this issue. Groups such as the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys and the National District Attorney's Association could provide a similar voice for prosecutors who understand how rational gun laws and access to gun data could be useful in prosecuting gun criminals locally. - The Washington Post

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: J. Mendel
2010 June 18
Runway Reviews: Chris Benz, Donna Karan Urban Zen, J.Mendel, VPL by Victoria Bartlett
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Chris Benz
True to form, Chis Benz's Resort 2011 presentation showcased his keen sense of whimsy and joyful color palette. Citing mid-century California sculptor Sascha Brastoff as inspiration, Benz's creations celebrated the lighthearted, laidback nature of the West Coast. Models donned bouffant hairstyles, while classic cigarette pants and box-cut jackets were an ode to Americana but with an updated twist. Lively hues in moss green and cerulean popped against more delicate lemon meringues, and fabrics looked as if they had been peeled from the upholstered loveseat of a lush, 1950s home. Attention, Betty Draper!
Gilles Mendel's side gig as a New York City Ballet costume designer on "Call Me Ben" resuled in one of his strongest Resort collections to date. Dance-influenced, although blessedly not literally, the pieces focused on movement and fluidity. A sculpted strapless dress with a bustier nodded to a costume bodice, while longer silk versions with sweeping skirts mimic the Romantic tutus. And there was plenty of modernity (and fur) to appease Mendel's myriad loyalists. A nude nude, body-con short-sleeved day dress will appeal to those with a wry take on sexiness, but the longer version with a portrait neckline will dominate the Fall benefit season for those smart enough to order one immédiatement.
Donna Karan Urban Zen
Donna Karan's Urban Zen collection is an amalgamatyion of neutral colors and loose fitting outfits. The models, who lounged on pieces from Karan's new furniture line, were accessorized with chunky beaded necklaces, handmade in Senegal. Karan bucked trends and opted to show clothes that are currently available in stores. True to form, Karan delivered a collection of comfortable and layered clothing, including loose-fitting dresses, pants, and jumpsuits. Urban Zen is both "timeless and seasonless," with a variety of grays and blues that are suitable all year long.
VPL by Victoria Bartlett
Victoria Bartlett knows the importance of comfort and practicality when it comes to underpinnings, and once again she has carried this idea over to resort. Neutral hues dominated while shots of sky blue and saffron yellow illuminated the collection. Refreshingly, each design promised to flatter a plethora of figures. Finely-crafted pieces like loose and effortless off-the-shoulder sweaters or draping asymmetrical frocks were, true to VPL form, famously unfussy.

Students give back to B-CS
Aggies bake, build houses for surrounding community
Published: Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 22:07
Most of the time, there is little to no room for monetary donations to charitable causes in a college student's budget. Fortunately, there are endless ways to give back in the Bryan-College Station area through community service opportunities from baking to building houses.
Tara Price, graduate student in nutrition, said the on-campus community service opportunities should be taken advantage of by students.
"I think community service is the most important thing you can contribute to society, especially at this age when you're able," Price said.
During the school year, students can get involved through a number of community service organizations at Texas A&M University.
Helping the Homeless
Aggie Habitat for Humanity is an organization dedicated to raising awareness about poverty housing. Working in conjunction with the local Habitat for Humanity organization, this organization helps provide opportunities for families living in substandard housing to own a home. The family must commit to at least 500 hours of sweat-equity into other homes and is then sold a house for the cost of
materials on a 30-year, no interest loan. The houses are built using volunteer labor, which is where the students come in. Working alongside families, they work on houses throughout the year.
Mentoring Youth
For students interested in playing a part in the future , Aggie Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that helps children through one-on-one mentoring relationships. ABBBS is a professional mentoring organization where volunteers are evaluated and matched with a child best fit for them. Volunteers are responsible for spending time with the child, being an exemplary role model and encouraging the child to pursue positive goals in the future.
Cooking for a Cause
Students interested in sharing love through food may be interested in Texas A&M Cupcakes, a student organization that brings students together through a mutual love of baking. Members organize various bake sales and events throughout the year in order to raise funds for the Brazos Valley Food Bank. For every dollar donated to the food bank, five pounds of food are distributed to people in need.
When the school year is not in full swing, there are still a number of ways to get involved in the community.
Animal Adoption
The Brazos Animal Shelter is constantly accepting applications for those interested in volunteering to help take care of animals without a home, be of assistance at the shelter and help at charitable events such as Wienerfest and PetSmart Mobile Adoption.
"They have a good thing going and they need help. So do the animals," said sophomore animal science major and Brazos Animal Shelter volunteer, Kaitlyn Porter.
Brazos Animal Shelter is also seeking individuals capable of volunteering to foster animals that need medical assistance or are too young to adopt.
Sharing Talents
Students interested in using their performance talents for a cause might consider visiting a retirement home. Junior education major Ciara Scott said singing to the members of the Crestview Retirement Community was a touching experience.
"A group of my friends wanted to go sing Christmas carols to them last December," Scott said. "It was a really simple thing — we're not professional or anything and we only did a few songs — but they were so excited to hear us and so happy that we came."

Paris Fall 2011: Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Giambattista Valli, Chloé
Getty Images View Gallery
(PARIS) Givenchy
After Dior, Givenchy was probably the most hotly awaited runway show of the season as the gossip mounts that designer Riccardo Tisci is the safe bet for a move to Christian Dior. Liv Tyler, Nicole Richie, Florence Welch, Kanye West and Ronnie Wood were all front-row ready and maybe just a little surprised by Tisci's call of the wild, which kicked off the show. The growl was the sound of a panther, illustrated on the front of a button-down silk shirt and its matching pencil skirt. Tisci mixed this theme with occasional mousseline transparency adding a sexy pre-editorial look. The panther theme weaved throughout the line, making appearances as kitschy patterns on jackets and dresses, or as an appliqué detail. With only one pair of trousers in the whole presentation, this collection was extremely feminine: Natalia Vodianova and Karen Elson were the last two girls to present looks, completing Tisci's vision of luxuriously dangerous sex kittens. Meow!
Stella McCartney
This season was a family affair at Stella McCartney with her father Sir Paul McCartney and husband Alasdhair Willis in the front row, alongside Natalia Vodianova and her three young children. The program notes even thanked the designer's devoted clan. For Fall, McCartney's mix of masculine/feminine couldn't be more suited for those working mother types--the woman who wants to look chic, with minimal fuss. Her coats, blazers and sweaters were worn oversized, paired with flowing loose cuts for trousers and often worn with sensible moccasins. Dresses had more structure, starting with her Issey Miyake like pleats in the beginning of the show to her strong racer back looks and more feminine dotted dresses. Paul McCartney's voice came on at the end of the show, another family nod for this maman extraordinaire.
Giambattista Valli
Lee Radziwill was an elegant presence in the front row at Giambattista Valli, sporting a large pair of Jackie O sunglasses with a tasteful zebra print pony skin jacket from Giamba himself. The designer has become the de facto king of dressing socials like fellow front row friends Bianca Brandolini d'Adda and Charlotte Dellal. As his collection shows, Valli has become an expert at dressing all ages, with the much needed rock out pieces like the dual-colored goat fur coats and skirts, to the primer and classic blazer and suit combos for the ladies who lunch. The designer's palette was noir and cream, with a little bit of hot pink or gold when needed. His eveningwear was more structured, with two finale dresses that would look perfect for any debutante's ball from Paris to New York.
Hannah MacGibbon was mad for snakeskin this season pairing the print in an array of colors, from bright yellow to emerald greens, in blouses, skirts, dresses and scarves. Her other inspiration seemed very 70s with maxi jeans and patchwork ponchos. Evening however, was all black, with leather overalls and long flowing maxi dresses. At Chloé the accessories are always the star (aside from the front row action of Chloé fragrance face Clémence Poésy) so we definitely had our eye on those low hanging shoulder bags and the elegant round-toe platform shoes. What more could a girl want?
