Transportation Insurance
Transportation insurance covers a wide array of business transportation needs. If you are in the transportation business, you understand the importance of having your vehicles in running condition and protecting yourself from losses caused by accidents and natural disasters. While some companies are in the transportation business, transportation is, for others, only a part of the overall picture of the business. Even companies with minimal transportation needs should invest in insuring both the goods they convey and the means of that conveyance.
Transportation Policy Features
Whether you ship goods by road, air, or sea, or are in the towing business, you need insurance for unexpected events that create problems for your business. The goods you transport could get damaged despite your efforts to pack them properly. Your vehicle could be involved in an accident through no fault of your own. And while the vehicle itself may be insured, that does not guarantee the contents—or materials you are shipping—are covered.
So whether you have a fleet of vehicles or just one truck you use to haul items as a part of the whole business, the principle is the same. Adequate insurance allows you to continue business as usual if something bad happens.
Contact our office today and find out what we can do to help you with your transportation insurance needs. If you are an existing customer, we can review your policy to make sure you have complete coverage and your coverage is up to date. If you are a new customer, Noltensmeyer Insurance Services can provide the transportation insurance coverage you need to protect your business.

Our first game jam
This weekend, while continuing to build out LFG so we can soft open, we hosted a game jam with the Pittsburgh Game Makers. Check out our write up on our blog here: http://blog.lfgpgh.com/2015/09/20/september-pittsburgh-game-jam-the-venue-perspective/
All in all, it was a great success, we tested out the internet, the working area, the location and the sleeping arrangements (apparently, it gets really cold at night in the building). I'm already looking forward to hosting Ludlem Dare 34 on December 11th-14th. I think it'll be great and maybe we'll run the heat this time so it's more comfortable to sleep on the floor/couches.

Today is a bit gloomy (again)
and I wasn't sure were to take Veda for a walk before the rain would start.
I ended up going towards the frogs that were singing in the woods.
What a great decision!
All sorts of things have popped up since I last went that way!!!
Jewelweed sprouts.
I love moss.
While I was taking these pictures,
Veda was frog hunting and ended up in the swamp...
So much for the bath she just had!
"Mom, can we go yet?!?"
And American Sarsarilla...
You can see how the flower and leaves grow on different stalks.
Turkey tail mushrooms, both new and old.
And right as it started to sprinkle,
I found a frog!
I was hoping to get a better photo,
but I had startled him,
so I was lucky for this shot.
Now it is raining lightly
and I am trying to figure out what I want to work on...
I have been reading this book
and am really inspired.
I have been wanting to do some natural dying for a while
and now that things are growing,
I can start collecting and playing!!!
What are you up to today?
Working on anything new???

Macular degeneration is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in many people ages 50 and above. It affects millions of people and is expected to get higher in the next five years.
According to some research, the degeneration may not be the cause of vision problems, but gradually the center of the visual field will become altered, slowly going from blurriness and waviness to creating a "hole" in the center of the vision.
Fortunately, scientists have discovered that saffron can improve visual acuity as well as sensitivity to light, even in people with early macular degeneration.
Saffron is a culinary spice derived from parts of the crocus flower. It has the ability to improve visual acuity and to improve sensitivity of the retina to light in people with early macular degeneration.
Saffron is also a unique formula that contributes to healthy eye structure and helps against damage caused by sunlight, free radicals and daily oxidative stress
The researchers noted that saffron contains chemical compounds called crocin and crocetin. Crocin protects photoreceptors from light-induced death and increases the availability of oxygen to the cells.

Bridal Season is back and so are our amazing brides!!! And starting with our next and stunning bride Yvette, who got married at the Palmilla Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. It was quite a tropical wedding and we can tell that not only the temperature was hot! Our lovely and sweet bride wore Odette gown and looked perfect in it! But I'll let you be the judge of it!
1. With so many bridal options today, what was the deciding factor when it came to picking out your gown?
I've always known that the day I got married I would get married in a dress different from the norm. One day while scrolling through facebook I saw a post from Cosmopolitian titled "12 Gorgeous Backless Wedding Dresses" and the first photo I saw was a gown from Galia Lahav and fell in love. Picking out my gown was easy, I knew I wanted a Galia Lahav and only one store in Houston carried the gowns. I walked in and said I want to try on all of the Galia Lahav's and I ended up with the Odette.
2. How did you meet your husband and how did you know he was the one?
I met my husband in the office. We dated briefly but the timing wasn't right and we ended up going our separate ways. I always knew there was something different about him though and when our paths crossed again we just knew this was it and this time the timing was right. We were inseparable and 7 months later he proposed and we were engaged!
3. Where did you get married and can you tell us about your wedding day?
We both wanted an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family so we opted for a destination wedding. We started our search for the perfect place and after much thought we decided to get married at the One&Only Palmilla Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. It was perfect! The ceremony was held in the historic Chapel atop a hill overlooking the resort's tropical grounds. Cocktails and Dinner followed outside in the courtyard with candles and dramatic flower arrangements all in white which created the perfect romantic ambiance. It was truly what I had envisioned. The night was finished off with dancing in the ballroom which was transformed into an elegant lounge with crystals hanging from the ceiling.
4. What was the highlight of your special day?
We had visited the resort once before the wedding but up until the day of I had no idea how everything I had envisioned would look like once it was all put together. Seeing everything come together after months of planning was an amazing feeling. I remember taking a sneak peak of the ballroom and being speechless because it was exactly how I had pictured it. Walking into the chapel and seeing all of my friends and family and my future husband stand at the alter was the biggest highlight of the day and at that moment I felt so blessed to be surrounded by so much love.
5. Can you tell us a fun anecdote about your wedding day?
We had events planned for every day leading up to the wedding so it had been a very busy week of outings. Once the ceremony and dinner had concluded it was time to party and we partied! We even extended the time because we just weren't ready to call it a night. By the time we called it a night we were beyond exhausted and headed to our suite except there was one problem…..we realized neither of us had the room key! We ended up falling asleep on the couches right outside of our suite.. We had successfully celebrated our special day to the max! (we eventually got in our suite)
6. Dig everything go as you dreamt it or planned it? Or did something unexpected happened?
One of the reasons we picked Los Cabos, Mexico was the weather. It is located at the southern end of the Baja California peninsula, where desert meets the sea and it is one of the sunniest locations in the world, with an average of 320 days of sunshine….our wedding day NOT being one of those 320 days. All of the days leading up to the wedding were sunny with not a cloud in the sky except the day of, I woke up to the sound of thunder. My planner called me and said we needed to move on to plan B which was moving the ceremony from the lawn which overlooked the ocean to indoors….the Chapel it was. The dinner was scheduled to be outside in the open air which had to be moved to the courtyard. Thankfully the resort has an amazing staff and plan B went seemingly smooth, the guests actually had no idea that the chapel and the courtyard were unplanned. Despite the rain the wedding turned out so perfect! I loved our day and I wish I could relive it over and over again.

I expect that this image will become the new visual standard for representing the Scrum framework.
Niwot, Colorado (PRWEB) October 31, 2012
Today, Kenneth S. Rubin, Managing Principal of Innolution, LLC, announces the immediate availability of the Visual AGILExicon™ (pronounced "visual agile lexicon"), a language for describing and communicating core agile and Scrum concepts in a graphically rich and visually appealing manner. The Visual AGILExicon was used to create many of the over 200 pictures in Rubin's best selling book Essential Scrum: A Practical Guide to the Most Popular Agile Process. The Visual AGILExicon is also used in Rubin's Certified ScrumMaster, Certified Scrum Product Owner, and other training classes. Individuals or organizations interested in using the Visual AGILExicon to create their own agile and Scrum presentations can obtain a no-cost license at the Innolution.com website.
The Visual AGILExicon is a set of approximately 40 vibrant, four-color icons for composing powerful, three-dimensional graphical representations of foundational agile and Scrum concepts including roles (such as ScrumMaster and development team), artifacts (such as product backlog and potentially shippable product increment), and activities (such as sprint planning and sprint review). These core icons are also used to compose approximately 70 pictures that represent more sophisticated concepts such as the complete Scrum framework, portfolio planning, and product backlog grooming activities.
Remarked Rubin, "I created the Visual AGILExicon for several reasons. First, I believe that many people (including me) find it easier to understand and retain concepts by seeing clear and compelling visual representations rather than just text. Second, the most popular illustrations of the Scrum framework specifically don't show core Scrum practices such as sprint review and sprint retrospective, and are therefore incomplete. Third, there are many existing pictures of Scrum and agile concepts, but they are all drawn differently and therefore a presentation or book composed from them would look disjointed or hacked together."
Bob Hartman, a Certified Scrum Trainer and Partner at Denver-based Agile For All remarked, "With the Visual AGILExicon, Kenny has created a consistent language for trainers and coaches to use to get ideas across. By licensing it, Agile For All will be able to have consistent visuals for the concepts we use in our training and coaching. For the people we interact with, this consistency will allow them to absorb things faster, which helps them obtain better results faster."
Australia-based Certified Scrum Trainer and author Ilan Goldstein said, "Kenny Rubin's AGILExicon is without question the most comprehensive and visually appealing representation of not just the core Scrum elements but also many other more advanced agile concepts. No doubt it will become a staple of my training programs and conference presentations for years to come!"
Susan Briscoe, a multi-area Director at Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Inmar, Inc. remarked, "As an agile CSM and CSPO, I have been using agile methodology for a decade – from large technology manufacturing companies to medium service-oriented businesses. The Visual AGILExicon is an excellent instrument for clarity and simplicity. It promotes adoption within the teams, and is also an effective tool for communication with senior leadership on key Agile concepts and activities."
Licenses to use the Visual AGILExicon are being offered at no cost. A license permits the licensee to include the Visual AGILExicon in presentations delivered for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. For example, a licensee can use the Visual AGILExicon in a presentation internal to one's own company, at a conference or user group meeting, and at a for-profit public or private training course. A licensee may also reproduce and deliver printed or electronic handouts of the presentations that include the Visual AGILExicon.
Details surrounding the Visual AGILExicon as well as the electronic version of the license agreement and the graphical icons and composed pictures can all be found at the Innolution.com website.

Capitalism does not require democracy.
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|6 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|8,795 times
|Debate No:
This debate is open to anyone. N00b sniping is not a problem for me. I'll take on all comers.
First round is acceptance.
Second round is arguments.
Third round is counter-arguments and closing statement.
The debate topic is: Capitalism does not require democracy.
BOP will be shared.
Pro will argue that capitalism does not require democracy.
Con will argue that capitalism requires democracy.
I just wish to point out that everyone has different views on everything and therefore making debates possible, I do not believe that we should start fights or cause any type of stirred anger towards one another in this debate and would like to keep the comments as civilized as possible so that everyone can have a good time reading this and posting more comments for us to look at.
seeing as my opponent opened the floor for the debate, I will allow him to go first so that I may present my case afterwards and my rebuttal.
Good luck in the debate, and I hope this will be fun for the both of us!
I want to thank my opponent for taking part in this debate and welcome him to DDO.
First some objective definitions
Capitalism: "An economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market."[1]
Democracy: "a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority; b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections."[2]
Authoritarian regimes: "are characterized by non-democratic central governments, lack of transparency, manipulation of the media, and active suppression of opposition and dissent. They are differentiated from totalitarian regimes—such as Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union under Stalin, China under Mao, and modern-day North Korea—that use an even more oppressive form of governance based on charismatic leadership and ideology."[3]
The reason I wanted to have this debate is because back in grad school there was a lot of talk about whether authoritarian countries like China, as they opened up to the global economy, would become more democratic over time.[5] It used to be generally assumed that capitalism and democracy went hand in hand given that most advanced capitalist nations were also democracies (USA, England, France, Korea, Japan). There is another school of thought that perhaps China and other countries have found a non-democratic alternative to democratic capitalism as it exists in America and Europe. Some argue that this model is a better model to adopt by countries that have authoritarian traditions where democracy might be unworkable.
My position will argue that capitalism can and does exist without the need for democracy.
First argument:
Nothing prevents an authoritarian regime from employing an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.
Second argument:
There are several examples of countries that are doing just that by employing a capitalist system or parts of a capitalist system in combination with an authoritarian regime. Essentially these countries are cherry-picking the best elements of authoritarianism and capitalism.[6] The result has been termed state capitalism.[7]
This map is based on data from Freedom House, it shows political rights scores of different countries going from good (white) to bad (dark blue).
Though technically a democracy, Singapore is partly authoritarian. The reason is Singapore's lack of freedom in the areas of free expression and assembly. Singapore shows the most successful example of an efficient, capitalist, free market state that arguably has not become fully democratic. However, one of the main pillars of Singapore is its very well developed rule of law and lack of corruption. Singapore's rule of law ensures that free trade and enterprise can take place in a fair environment. By having the ability to resort to the courts system to solve their grievances businesses are allowed as much freedom as possible. It serves as a model of how a state can become very economically advanced without going all the way towards full democratic rights.
Japan had a two periods in which capitalism thrived in a non-democratic environment. One was the beginning of Japan's modernization, known as the Meiji Period September (1868 through July 1912), and after a brief democratic movement during the Taisho period, came the Showa period (September 1868 through July 1912). The Showa and Meiji periods are examples of Japan successfully merging capitalism and free markets with authoritarian rule. Although the Showa period ended when the US won WW2 and imposed democracy on Japan, in principle, it serves as an example of capitalism without democracy.
Though Russia is technically a democracy, the behavior of the most recent presidents (Putin and Medvedev) has been more in line with a slide towards authoritarianism. There is ample evidence of vote rigging, persecution of the press, and placing opposition members in jail.[8] Despite that Russia's economy has nearly tripled since 1998, though Russia still has a lot of work to do in the area of economic freedoms, it could still be headed for some form of state capitalism, similar to China's in the future.
Much like China, Vietnam has recently begun opening up their economy, but has done so without liberalizing their political system.
Because of its enormous size and population (5 times the population of the US), China presents the greatest challenge to the American economic and political model of democracy and capitalism. If China does not develop into a democracy it will become a pillar of authoritarian capitalism. It will also ensure that at least 1/6th of the world's population lives under such a system. It will be a powerful example for developing countries struggling with maintaining democracy without adequate means.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia remains the only Arab Nation where no national elections have ever taken place, since its creation. No political parties or national elections are permitted and according to The Economist's 2010 Democracy Index, the Saudi government is the seventh most authoritarian regime from among the 167 countries rated.[9] Although primarily possessing an oil based economy, it has been moving towards free market capitalism in recent decades, without a significant shift towards democracy.
Nothing prevents an authoritarian government from employing elements of capitalism without granting full democratic rights. By ensuring low corruption and excellent rule of law an authoritarian government can create an environment of economic freedom and capitalist growth while ensuring firm control over the country's political rights. Authoritarian capitalism presents an alternative to democratic capitalism.
Therefore the resolution is proven.
Vote pro!

RoeJerk forfeited this round.
Looks like a forfeit. I extend all arguments.
RoeJerk forfeited this round.
Republic means public matter -- the law.
Democracy means rule by the people (demos) -- rule by majority
The resolution is mainly in pros favor here.
Anywho, sounds fairly simple. A dictator allows free market. Neither communism nor socialism are required for a dictatorship, simply a sole leader in charge with absolute authority. Whether or not he exercises that authority in the market is an unknown, so theoretically it could work.
It's not in the official rules, that's why I said implicitly. I vaguely remember something in the rule video about it this that would be helpful though. lol It just seems that way from some of the debates I've looked at and voted on. It really depends on the type of debate, but it really seems like if you make a positive, counterintuitive claim, and don't state the BOP explicitly, then the BOP is implicitly on Pro. I guess it also depends on what kind of claims people make over the course of the debate about the BOP as well, because that might influence people.
I feel like I would be in this type of situation with my claim: http://www.debate.org...
However, if you explicitly share the BOP with me, then it simplifies things and I'll just be Pro for my original claim.
I could give you generous posting periods. You could let the arguments sit in the back of your head, focus on your other debates, and just post when you are ready.
I wouldn't mind sharing the BOP.
That thing about BOP really bugs me. I actually feel like if not stated BOP should be shared. First, because it's usually a tactic used by n00b snipers to take out newbies who post debates. Also, because all things considered if there is no rule and Con accepts, there's no reason to give Con an advantage based on an unstated custom of DDO. Last I checked "positive statements get the BOP" isn't in the official DDO rules.
Also, @thett3 shhhh don't scare away the fish!
1) I don't get upset, even though my comments may seem incisive at times. I'm not a debater per se, just a self-proclaimed intellectual who enjoys the exercise of debating, and the friendly competition as well. I can't help it if it's the one place where I can vent my political rage. lol
2) I know I'm new, but you're a little newer, so the BOP, unless explicitly stated, usually does implicitly rest on the person making a positive claim, especially when it's counterintuitive.
3) The reason I'm wary about the exact resolution is because I already had a similar debate that I felt I lost because I didn't word the resolution as well as I could have, but it was generally the same idea. It was my first real debate I think: http://www.debate.org...
4) If you want to really be a stickler about it I'll do it anyways. lol I just don't know if I'll have time yet, as I have some real life stuff going on and am waiting for darkkermit, who is also busy, to accept my debate "Humanity Should Abolish Money" which will be quite a challenge in itself. I would be combating two delusional mass beliefs about American society at once. Which I'm game for, but I don't want to give them up to an unfortunate forfeit situation.
5) I talked trash about the U.S. *government* specifically. I will not hesitate to do it again. The U.S. *people* are a different story, who deserve *less* criticism, but *not* none. (; lol

DALLAS, TX --A Dallas police officer is on leave after firing her gun into a squad car floor when colleagues tried to drive her home from a bar where she'd drank too much while off duty.
Officer Kelly Beemer also faces a misdemeanor charge of discharging a weapon.
Video from a squad car camera shows two officers escorting Beemer to the vehicle Wednesday night. Inside, one of them tells Beemer they just want to get her home.
Beemer can be heard saying she doesn't believe them and demands the car be stopped. As the car continues moving, a muffled shot is heard. The car stops and the officers are heard repeatedly yelling "Kelly, put down the gun!"
No one was injured.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown calls Beemer's conduct reckless and unacceptable. Beemer's attorney declined to comment Friday.

Hey ForeverBookers, I've just finished Blameless and it was a little bit of a disappointment.
3 stars!
Spoilers below for Blameless and the previous books as well. I have a non spoiler review of Soulless (book 1) on here as well 😀).
Blameless starts as Lady Maccon has to move out of Woolsey, her husband's castle for being pregnant. The fact that she is pregnant is revealed at the end of Changeless (book 2). Lord Maccon doesn't believe that the baby is his because werewolves can't mate. However, it gets revealed later in the book why this has happened.
Alexia goes to Italy with Madame Lefoux and Floote, her manservant and friend to escape the rumours that she's been unfaithful to her husband, which of course isn't the case. In Italy, they try to find the answers about Alexia's condition and why she is now the way she is. They come across a scientist who is annoying and a religious sect, which is creepy. The scientist tries to help but for his own gain rather than anything else, as he wants to be the one to "discover" a pregnant preternatural.
While Alexia is in Italy, we see scenes with Lord Maccon, set mainly in England. He is drunk for a good proportion of Blamesless however, so we follow his beta, Professor Lyall instead. Lyall is trying to help Alexia from England, while having a new werewolf to train, while trying to keep an eye on Lord Maccon.
Lord Maccon does get himself sorted by the end of Changeless and he does go after Alexia. But does she okay and if she is does she forgive him? You'll have to read to find out!
I enjoyed Blameless, although not as much as Soulless and Changeless. Blameless didn't have as many romantic moments between Alexia and Conall. I knew this before I started reading though so it wasn't to be unexpected. Some of the new characters weren't as memorable as those from previous books. They didn't have as big of an impact on me. I don't think they'll be important in future books. I still enjoyed the main cast of characters though. The only "new" character that I did appreciate was Floote, who although has been in other books didn't have a character arc. He was just a side character in the previous books.
The setting's were described well. I sometimes skipped some of the more flouncy, over the top descriptions but overall I enjoyed the them.
Overall, I expected more from Blameless but I am still excited to read Heartless, book 4. I hope there is more progression. I thought that Blameless was a bit of a lull in the story. All that was resolved was learning about Alexia and Conall's child. And we didn't even get very much of that.
Let me know your thoughts on Blameless below.

In 1880 he assisted in the removal of the natural history collections from Bloomsbury to South Kensington . The museum owes some of its most important specimens (e.g. the great head of the Ilford mammoth ) to his skill in the disinterment of such remains and their reconstruction from apparently worthless fragments. His position brought him into constant touch with the greatest of the pioneers in vertebrate palaeontology , but, being of a retiring disposition and more interested in his official duties than in publishing the results of his work, he remained less well-known outside the Museum than his service to science merits.
He published fifteen short but important contributions in the Geological Magazine and the Quarterly Jnl. of the Geological Society , including a note, 1886 , on the animal remains found in the Ffynnon Beuno and Cae Gwyn caves in North Wales and a catalogue, 1874 , of the vertebrate fossils found in the brick-fields near Ilford . His indirect contributions to published works are indicated by the references to help given by him in the publication of the British Museum catalogues of fossil fishes, reptiles, and mammals, and in the account of the carboniferous fossils of Belgium by L. G. de Koninck .
In 1873 Davies received the first award of the Murchison medal founded by the Geological Society , and four years later was elected a Life Fellow of the Society . He continued to serve the museum by revising proofs of palaeontological publications after his retirement in 1887 . He d. [at Collier's End , Hertford , 13 Feb.], 1891 . His son, Thomas Davies , mineralogist , is separately noticed.

Saturday, August 6 – Sunday, August 7: Dragon Boat Festival
Head up to Flushing Meadows Corona Park for the most exciting race of the season. On the first weekend of August, almost 180 dragon boat teams from all around the world will come to celebrate and put their strength to the test. While you cheer on your favorite team, enjoy endless food, entertainment, and activities for all ages.
Saturday, August 6 – Saturday, August 20: Summer Streets
New York's annual celebration of its streets is back and not to be missed. For three consecutive Saturdays in August, almost seven miles of city streets will be reserved for the public to participate in various outdoor recreational activities. It's time to put Netflix aside and soak up the summer sun.
Saturday, August 20 – LIC Block Party
Long Island City is hosting its fifth annual block party at SculptureCenter, and everyone is invited. Open free to the public, the celebration will include local food, live performances, and art activities all afternoon. Before you leave, don't forget to stroll over to the boardwalk for a stunning view of Manhattan's skyline.
Anytime – Enjoy SUMMER!
As much as we hate to say it, the start of August means the last of summer. Take advantage of the sunny season to experience places and events that the cold weather cannot accommodate. We're thinking rooftop bars like Mr. Purple and The Press Lounge, hotel pools like McCarren and Sixty LES, or one last weekend trip to Montauk.

Regional NRM Planning for Climate Change in the Cape York NRM Region
Cape York NRM has adoped a socio-ecological systems approach towards development of an NRM plan that considers the distinctive cultural and social landscapes of Cape York. Ongoing community consultation confirms that it is "time for implementation" hence the process involves "planning by doing" engagement strategies, integratation of past and current synthesised studies and relevant plans, and recent environmental accounts conducted on Cape York. Outcomes will be an adaptive planning approach that produces community engagement in building a multi-media atlas that includes tools for ongoing monitoring against environmental accounts; and a compendium of planning, research and case studies highlighting available information and practice in adapting to climate change. This project delivers a regional NRM plan that properly addresses the Program Principles, including climate change adaptation and mitigation components relevant for the Cape York NRM region. Engagement with the Cape York community through the 'Your Climate' project is through one-on-one interviews and engagements, events and video shoots. The Spatial Carbon Prioritisation Framework subproject workshops identify relevant datasets and critically analyse them for use a carbon prioritisation tool. The planning process committed to the principle of being logical, comprehensive, and transparent. The planning process involves the collation and cataloguing of plans across Cape York, to build a 'Who Plans Here' site for public access and to complete a synthesis of existing plans for developing a robust NRM plan and investment strategy. Cape York NRM has continued to engage in National Stream 2 projects, wet tropics and monsoon cluster groups and NRM stream 1 planning workshops to share process and learning through identifying opportunities for efficiencies in delivery.
This analysis strategy identified a process and framework for examining data collated by Cape York Natural Resource Management to assist in the development of their adaptive planning process and development of the ATLAS portal.
This project facilitates and develops a carbon prioritisation spatial framework for Cape York, for current and future use.

For a lot of my life I thought I was an agnostic atheist. Only today(yes literally) did I sit and think deeply and randomly (as a rational madman does) have the epiphanic realisation that I am in fact, and always have been, an agnostic theist.
I shall define agnostic theism and look forward to my opponent's debate.
If you simply 'accept' in round one it's a seven point forfeit. Thanks in advance.
Agostic theism: The belief that although we know nothing of god(s), the best bet (if one were to gamble their life, or their famiy's) would be pro god(s) as opposed to the bleif in no superior entity/ies at all in relation to the creation of our universe.
Ok, So if i understand this debate correctly, i am suppose to argue for Agnostic Athiesm, which for the reletive short time i have lived on this earth i believe i am.
To clarify, i do not hate religion, or any form of faith that many people in the world share. In fact i believe that the world in general is a better place because of people's beliefs. However i personally don't believe in a higher power for the simple resons of Suffering and faith.
To those of you who have read the Inheritence series By Christopher Paolini, you will recognize my arguments context, but i dont' believe he is the originator of these ideas, so i don't feel guilty for taking them, however they impacted my view on faith greatly, and as per this debate, i will use them, as they easily explain said faith.
Contention 1) There is suffering in the world that need not be there.
If for the sake of argument there was a god that we should put our faith in at the end of our life, who in fact gave us life, freedom, love, and all the other things told of through the bible, Homer, heiroglyphs, or some variation, taht gave life to the world at large, they gave man one too many gifts. They gave us suffering and pain. which is not a gift a person, or some such entity, should be rewarded with our blind faith, trust, and in some cases love. THe point of this debate, in my eyes is not for deciding whether agnotic faith or agnostic athiesm is better. and Athiesm is better for the simple reason that a god becomes the devil when they create suffering and pain when they so obviously have the power to stop it.
now i know this is a personal belief, but i don't see the point of putting my faith in something that WANTS me to suffer to demonstrate my devotion to it.
Answer these questions:
1. From where do you draw morality?
2. If you don't have morality how can you feel good about yourself?
3. How do you justify this source of morality?
4. If you were to find out there was a god after death, would you not realise that you lose nothing by being theist and everything by being atheist?
I shall just go down the list for the questions you asked and answer them to the best of my ability.
RationalMadman forfeited this round.
Hacnet forfeited this round.
Well I sure am lucky...
Anyway agnostic theism is better bet than agnostic atheism because agnostic atheism has zero explanation.
Hacnet forfeited this round.

John: Mobile guru and i already gave u 3 alternatives to transfer the music earlier... read backwards. But heres the 4th way: use bluetooth.
1234: Regarding the 1Gb TF, i couldnt find it again... I might have seen it wrongly as mini SD instead of micro.. i will keep looking. The biggest i found is 512. :p
yes do it: check the AT&T website or call them, they should have an auto config. For us here, we just call our service providers and tell them our mobile phone model, and they will send us an auto config SMS which we open to auto setup our phone.
Regarding phone battery, I am 1.5hrs away from the 3rd day mark, and i have just lost 1 bar.
to those complaining about battery life
you should reduce the amount of time spent on
:1.taking photo
3.mp3 musics.
this is after all a mobile phone.
how can you mourn about this phone's battery performance if you treat it like you stand alone mp3 player or a digital camera.
my d600 still indicates three bars after 2hours of talking time.
so I wouldn't complain too much with battery performance.
I'm using this phone with under AT&T Wireless. Would you happen to know how to get on-line with it or the gprs settings. Thanks
Sonice wellness is a set of music noise that suppose to help you relax. Its kinda stupid, but they did some research and it helps i guess. /shrugs.
You cant edit the pictures, just use photoshop resize/crop your images to the phones specifications 240x320 pixels.
t-flash is the same as microSD. To transfer to the Memory card:
1) use a card reader for the t-flash
2) set the phone to mass storage to store to the card.
3) use the program Samsung provides to copy to the card
To store to the phone
1) use bluetooth/usb connection with the program samsung provided to copy your mp3's to the phone
The message tones is one of the drawbacks of the phone(doesnt bother me cause mines always on vibrate), your stuck with the default sms tones of the phone.
Dave: the only way to show the clock is by holding the volume button. Its samsungs way of saving battery. I suggest just pressing anybutton or opening/closing the phone.
Sonny: I agree, T809 should be cheaper, quad/edge band, most of the D600 features.
Eazy E: I + many other ppl wrote the negatives about the phone, just look back at the old posts made here or look at www.howardforums.com i write there too.
Chris: D600 does work with cingular, i have it with cingular. I even saw it on sale at a T-mobile shop.

XxDrAg0nxX: where'd you find the 1gb version of the microSD? i want it. But yea didnt get a Tf card with my phone.
Hi guys
2 things, what is Sonic Wellness used for and can you resize downloaded files so when u select a file as wallpaper it's full size rather then a white edge - so annoying!!??
Can ne1 give me any top tips on the phone whats the t flash and how can i put music on it and MOST important why cant i change my message tone!!!!!!!!!! help please
Does any one know if this phone can display the clock when the screen goes blank? (eg.D500)
Hey people, i'm thinking of getting this phone but all i hear are negatives abt batt life and the fact that this dosn't have a wallet function and no this or that. May i please have info on a better phone if avail that has everything that u want. This is an excellent phone that has extreme value for what u'r paying.
My friends are enjoying the functions of this phone more than they did with the N90.
May i please ask if any of u guys have any systems prob with the phone, by means of software or hardware...beside the batt
For you USA Cingular people. I am in the US with Cingular, and this phone DOES NOT WORK with Cingular. I bought this phone and had the exact same problems you describe - no MMS and no WAP connectivity. I talked to Cingular tech support several times, and they were very willing to try and help me set up all the correct setting, but it still failed to work properly. Luckily, I bought from a place that had a 30 day money back guaruntee. If it's not too late for you guys, return the phone.
Too bad it didnt work, because it was a beauty.
Thats wierd... where are u guys from?
Mine came packaged in the box, a Sandisk TF 64mb together with a sandisk TF to SD adapter.
There is also a label on the box that says its included together in the package.
Oh well, even if u guys were shortchanged, a 512mb Dual voltage TF card now costs only like USD35, while a 1gb one costs USD65.
does anybody know how to setup MMS and Mmode for the AT&T service. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks
Btw, we can't chose different tones for messages, only those that came with the phone, but now we can chose any ringtone for the alarm function (mp3, poly, etc).
Well, my D600 didn't came with a t-flash card (microSD). It came with a SD adapter to make the microSD readble for card reader's.
Love the phone! :)
i have cingular service and i have a sony ericsson s710a which i treasure but i want something with more memory for mp3s but i dont want to sacrifice services like media net and other apps like that so can anyone tell me how this phone does on cingular
Mobile Guru: You didn't get a TF card with your phone?? every phone comes with a free 64mb Sandisk TF card with an adapter.... dont they?
Hi friends
Sher..........I have already posted a thread earlier comparing W800, D600 and N70. Please go through it and take a decision if u like.
Linda............You can press and hold * button to deactivate T9. On the top right corner u would see Abc instead of T9EAb, when in mesage composing mode.
THERE IS NO VOICE DIALLING IN D 600, but normally u dont use it unless u r in a quite environ which is rare nowadays. So no use of voice dialling.......
MP3 copy........very simple........no CD or software required........All u need is TM card which is not supplied in the box. You have to buy it seperately.........
1. Plug in the USB cable in USB port.....
2. Go to menu.......settings.........phone.....usb settings.........click mass storage
connect ur phone to USB cable.......BOOM....ur memory card appears as a seperate drive on ur computer.......copy whatever u want........SO SIMPLE........contact me here if u have any problems
LOL sher, I was in your shoes few days back.. heres y i chose D600
D600: Nice design
N70: symbian thus slower/laggier shorter battery life. Rear slider and mmc cover is fragile.
W900: It had streaks of orange... eew :p
Linda: Not sure what u mean by automatic words, if ment T9, press the top right button above the red cancel button once in typing mode and u should see T9 @ the bottom right of screen.
Gav: 2 ways, either use the Samsung PC studio given in the CD or plug the T-flash card into the adapter and plug the adapter into a card reader.
JayZ: 3 Days is the standard lately, due to multiple functions like Bluetooth, Surround speakers, large screens... 3-5 days is considered quite long given that the batt is already a wooping 950mah compared to PDA phones with 1100mah. I doubt there is a phone now that can last past 5 days anyway.
Joseph: Wow u are right, the D600 is not available by any of your telecos... well just wait for the T809(aka T820) to be released by your T-mobile this DEC, it has the same functions but 6mm thinner but lower batt and camera.
Sue: did u do an overnight charge on your first charge before u started using the phone? If u didnt u might have spoilt it on your own :p

NBC's Sunday Night Football features the Green Bay Packers traveling to Detroit to play the Lions for the NFC North crown. The ratings for this game should be enormous.
This week's slate features a few games like this with playoff implications and also a few clunkers with nothing at stake.
Let's dive into action . . .
Green Bay Packers (9-6) at Detroit Lions (9-6)
This is the game of the year (so far), in prime time, for the NFC North crown.
If the Washington Redskins beat the Giants, the loser of this game won't make the playoffs.
On November 23, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said the 4-6 Packers could run the table and make the playoffs. Five wins down, and one too go.
Keep an eye on the status of top Lions corner Darius Slay who nurses a hamstring injury. If he can't play, the Lions have little chance of winning this game against the red-hot Packers' passing attack led by Rodgers.
If Slay plays, this game could go either way.
New York Giants (10-5) at Washington Redskins (8-6-1)
The Redskins lock up a playoff spot with a win as long as the Lions-Packers game doesn't end in a tie.
The Giants are locked in the #5 spot, and will probably rest some starters.
Washington, with so much more at stake and at home, should prevail.
Arizona Cardinals (6-8-1) at Los Angeles Rams (4-11)
The Rams were 4-5 and in the wildcard race when they benched veteran QB Case Keenum and inserted raw rookie Jared Goff. They haven't won a game since — very strange decision.
The horrendous Rams offense ranks 32nd overall and 32nd in points scored.
The Cardinals should win this game.
Oakland Raiders (12-3) at Denver Broncos (8-7)
If the Raiders lose this game and the division to Kansas City, they play at Houston in the first round, which almost makes foran incentive to lose. The Texans will be the NFL's worst playoff team.
Matt McGloin takes over for injured Derek Carr as Raiders QB.
Denver, out of the playoff race, put a bunch of players on injured reserve this week.
McGloin is underrated and should lead the Raiders to a win.
Baltimore Ravens (8-7) at Cincinnati Bengals (5-9-1)
A touchdown catch by Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown with four-seconds left last week ended the Ravens' playoff hopes.
The Bengals have been out for a while.
Ravens are still depressed from last week. Expect the Bengals, at home, to win a close game.
Kansas City Chiefs (11-4) at San Diego Chargers (5-10)
A lot of different playoff scenarios remain alive for Kansas City, but the best one is if Denver beats Oakland and the Chiefs beat San Diego. If that happens, the Chiefs would win the AFC West and get the No. 2 seed.
As per usual in recent years, the Chargers injury list is as long as War and Peace, so expect a Chiefs win.
Seattle Seahawks (9-5-1) at San Francisco 49ers (2-13)
The Seahawks have been wildly inconsistent this year, alternating wins and losses since their November 20 win over Philadelphia.
They lost to Arizona last week, and should continue the pattern with a win over the lowly 49ers this week.
Chicago Bears (3-12) at Minnesota Vikings (7-8)
Sam Bradford could use a long Caribbean vacation after this season. He's taken an awful beating this year playing behind a Vikings line that lost both offensive tackles for the season, and now plays without their best guard, Alex Boone.
This line is also a big reason why the Vikings have the NFL's #32 rushing offense.
But with all that said, the Vikings should be able to beat the Bears at home to finish 8-8.
Dallas Cowboys (13-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (6-9)
The Cowboys have locked up the NFC's #1 seed, so they should rest a lot of starters. Don't expect to see much of the star rookies, quarterback Dak Prescott or running Zeke Elliott. Cowboys backup quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Tony Romo will both play in this game.
Also, myriad defensive players are already listed as "out" for Dallas.
Expect the Eagles, who are playing very hard for first-year head coach Doug Pederson, and are playing all their starters, to win this home game.
New England Patriots (13-2) at Miami Dolphins (10-5)
The Dolphins are back in the playoffs after an eight-year hiatus. Miami will play either Pittsburgh or Houston in the wildcard round.
Miami coach Adam Gase claims he won't rest the team's starters, and this certainly makes sense, since they are starting their backup QB (Matt Moore) who needs the work, and their defense gave up almost 600 yards last week in Buffalo.
New England still hasn't locked up the AFC's No. 1 seed. The Patriots must finish with a better record than Oakland to secure the No. 1 seed as Oakland has the tiebreaker edge. The Pats secure the top seed with a win over Miami.
The Patriots want all their playoff games to take place in Foxboro, so expect Tom Brady to start against one of the NFL's worst defenses and lead New England to win.
Carolina Panthers (6-9) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-7)
Tampa Bay playoff chances are on life-support, needing a win and a ton of help.
The Panthers 32nd-ranked pass defense is the biggest reason for their 6-9 record. Fixing their secondary will be a major focus this off-season.
These are two very even teams and this game is too close to call.
Cleveland Browns (1-14) at Pittsburgh Steelers (10-5)
There should be no finger-pointing in the Browns' locker room, their offense and defense are both bad, each ranked 31st.
The Steelers have locked up the AFC's #3 seed and will rest some players.
Your guess is as good as mine on this one.
Houston Texans (9-6) at Tennessee Titans (8-7)
The Titans are coming off a devastating game in Jacksonville, where they lost to the lowly Jaguars, lost their franchise QB Marcus Mariota to a broken leg, and got knocked out of the playoffs.
Don't expect this game to be a shootout. The Titans will be starting journeyman backup Matt Cassell, and the Texans are going with backup Tom Savage, because starter Brock Osweiler was benched.
The Texans have already clinched a playoff birth, and will hold out star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and talented tailback Lamar Miller.
The Titans, led by their terrific ground game, should grind out a home win.
Jacksonville Jaguars (3-12) at Indianapolis Colts (7-8)
The Jaguars fired coach Gus Bradley two week ago, and interim coach Doug Marrone led them to a blowout win over Tennessee last week.
Former Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin might be the leading candidate for the job.
The Colts are out of the playoffs for the second straight year as they continue to waste the talent of franchise QB Andrew Luck with a bad offensive line and defense.
But the Colts should win this game and finish the season at .500.
Buffalo Bills (7-8) at New York Jets (4-11)
Some stats are misleading, but some are telling. The New York Jets are 30th in points scored and 29th in points allowed. They can't score and they give up a ton of points. You do the math. That is quite problematic.
The Bills will be playing under interim coach Anthony Lynn who is auditioning for the full-time job.
Jets coach Todd Bowles is probably safe, but many of his assistants probably updated their resumes this week.
The Jets should win this game because the Bills have benched their starting QB Tyrod Taylor, not for performance reasons, but for contract reasons (if he gets hurt, they owe him a fortune).
New Orleans Saints (7-8) at Atlanta Falcons (10-5)
Atlanta can secure a first-round bye and the #2 seed in the NFC with a win.
But this might not be easy. The Saints boast the NFL's #1 passing offense, and the Falcons play without their top corner – Desmond Trufant.
However, the Saints defense remains porous (30th in points allowed), and Falcons QB Matt Ryan should have little trouble putting up points.
The game is a toss-up.

If you want to see these photo's as a slide show check out the photo album page. I have now decided to add the new photo's to the top of the page so no need to scroll down any more!
Whilst at Mike Edwa Llantfel Railway, they were shown around by Lord Penrhyn himself in his private saloon - although he didn't actually deign to get out and get caught in the photoshoots! "Charles" was the motive power. However, because the visit followed closely on the railway's annual staff holiday, parts of the line had got somewhat overgrown - rather reminiscent of photos of the Festiniog in the early 1950s!
It's been a while since I updated the MS page so here is Dignity and impudence recreated on the Rhos Helyg Locomotive works test line in N Wales where full size Stace spent a very pleasant evening!
Mini Stacey and Mini Alan visited the Stafford Model & District Engineers track today. It was bitterly cold in the morning and then the snow started at mid day. MS and MA checked the snowplough was ready for action as the first small flakes of snow fell on the station platform.
Here is the first pic from the BBLR. MS and MA sample the budget rolling stock* hauled by Wild Rose past the decaying engine shed.
After this they had a look at two DeWintons - more to follow.
* plywood from an old wardrobe, cable clips for axle boxes, wheels from end caps of cable reels.
MS & MA got taken to Keith Browns' new line to assit with testing.
After last seeing Colin Binnie at Raif Coplye's line in june last year they meet again to enjoying the delights of Sean Cullen's industrial decreptitude.
MS & MA wating for a train, I think the dog may be hoping MA has a treat in his apron pocket! (Our first black and white submision and I love it!)
MS &MA at Sparrow junction, on Chris Heape's line inspecting VICKY - a roundhouse kit built katie.
Pictures from Rob Guinnesss' line at Halewood

The Mossala Hill Rly With the Maharaja, Maharani and Col. Caruthers on the balcony of the state coach
MS and MA enjoying a visit to the Granite Island Railway in Guernsey. For more images of this visit please go to http://gallery.me./caparne#100055
Having already clocked up some significant mileage, MS arrives on his home turf, and cast his eye over our Merlin locomotive PAULINE, hopefully when he returns he can get a ride on the WFVR.
MS's first visit was to the late Alan Walker's line in Northolt UK. Sadly hopes of a preservation society taking over the line have come to naught so this fantastic line will slip into memory
Next on the schedule was a visit Stuart Bakers' (No relation) embryonic line. Here he was able to have a chat with Alan Walker.
Not only does MS visit railway's he is also interested in visiting workshops and other railway based things so here he is in John Kimber's workshop.
MS meets up with Mini Alan and Mini Colin B at the Knock Inn for a pint and a ploughman's lunch on Raif Copley's Coombe Hill Rly
How to make MS nervous; simply add 31 Mini Alan's!
MS inspects John Kimber's BETTY, and what a beauty she is.
David Pinniger welcomes MS and Min Alan to his Amber valley railway.
MS MA and Mini Colin B enjoy a day out at Keith Dyer's Thereborne & Backenridge Rly
MA asks the staff of the Thereborne & Backenridge Rly where the pub is!
MA and MC pose for an official portrait at Gordon Mile's Pigeon Bottom Railway MS tries to attract their attention; obviously a nice young lady is passing!
The gang wait for the Yankee to come to a halt on David White's Leybourn & Brockley Railway
A nervous MC and MS want to know exactly how much Rum and Coke MA has had before he tries to drive them to the next stop!
The trio were taken to Steve Jackson's (Jackson's Miniatures) line at Peacemarsh on the outskirts of Gillinhgam, Dorset. The Accucraft (US) Forney was making its debut, she ran sweet as a nut.
The gang pay a visit to Tony Jefferies' line at Tincleton near Puddletown.
Where are we now? In the village! Having been told I know nothing it now seems MS knows too much! On Peter Hillman's Village Railway.
By hook or by crook MA will go to the toilet! Again on Peter Hillman's Village Railway.
The gang catch up with Fred Dibnah on Dave Oliver's indoor line...
..and enjoy the sunshine on the out door section of Dave's line.
Goodbyeee from MA and MS. A final trip on Raif Copley's fantastic Coombe Hill Rly. Thanks Raif for such a fantastic time, with about 14 local railway's visited, will anyone else beat this record?
MS and MA enjoying a visit to the Granite Island Railway in Guernsey. For more images of this visit please go to http://gallery.me./caparne#100055
Now to the wilds of Scotland! From Guernsey to Falkirk. MS and MA have a splended ride on Pat Mason's Steamlines Shay in Scotland.
Then a quick hop skip and a jump to Rob Binnie's line. For more photos go to http://garlynelightrailway.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=9747743
Mr Burns takes a beak from his nuclear plant to drive a train on Jim Ivans line in Shetland

WEST HARTFORD — Richard Gable's office is on the first floor of the education center; it is a nondescript work space like almost every other in the building.
But to parents in this district, especially newcomers, the office is the gateway to enrollment in a local school. And based on the number of families trying to enroll their children illegally, his office is a desirable portal.

Although several conserved signaling pathways such as IGF-1, AC-PKA, Ras/Raf/MAPkinase, TOR- S6K and Sir2 are known to regulate stress resistance and longevity in various organisms, the mechanism by which the RGS (regulator of G-protein signaling) protein affects the aging process through the G-protein signaling pathway is not understood yet. Our preliminary data exhibited that 1) reduced expression of a RGS protein, Loco, resulted in a longer lifespan of flies, with stronger resistances to stressors, higher MnSOD activity, and increased fat content. 2) In contrast, overexpression of the loco gene shortened lifespan significantly with lower stress resistance and reduced fat content, also indicating that is RGS domain is related to the regulation of longevity. 3) Interestingly, the expressional changes of yeast RGS2 and rat RGS14, homologues of the fly Loco, also affected oxidative stress resistance and longevity in the respective species, suggesting that the Loco/RGS14 signaling pathway is evolutionarily conserved in various organisms for the regulation of longevity. It is known that fly Loco increases adenylate cyclase (AC) activity by inactivating the inhibitory G?i?GTP protein and that mammalian RGS14 interacts with activated H-Ras and Raf-1 kinases, which subsequently inhibit ERK phosphorylation. Corroboratively, our preliminary data showed that downregulation of Loco significantly diminishes cAMP amounts and increases p-ERK levels with higher resistance to oxidative stress. In addition, our proteomic iTRAQ and Phos-tag gel analyses revealed that reduction of Loco signaling decreases phosphorylation levels of the Rpd3 protein (HDAC1, histone deacetylase 1), which may be regulated by p-ERK in the Loco pathway. Reduced expression of Rpd3 is reported to extend the lifespan in Drosophila. However, the way in which Rpd3/HDAC1 activity is regulated for the longevity mechanism is not characterized. We also found that fat body-specific downregulation of the loco gene enhances stress resistance and longevity. Based on our preliminary data, the specific hypothesis for this research is that the Loco/RGS14, a RGS protein, regulates stress resistance and longevity by modulating the phosphorylation level of Rpd3/HDAC1 protein in a tissue (fat body)- specific manner.
The specific aims are to examine I) if Loco signaling modulates Rpd3 activity through phosphorylation of Rpd3 S419/S421 sites identified from unbiased iTRAQ screening, and II) if change of the phospho-Rpd3/HDAC1 level in Loco/RGS14 signaling determines stress resistance and lifespan through the target genes of histone deacetylase Rpd3. Our research will explore new aging field to determine how the G- protein signaling pathway (Loco) epigenetically regulates the chromatin remodeling complex (Rpd3) during aging process.
The mechanisms of eukaryotic aging process are regulated by the longevity signaling pathways. Using fruit fly as a model system, we will find a longevity signaling pathway affecting stress resistance and/or longevity. The outcomes from this proposal will help us understand mechanisms of aging process and provide some options to cure aging/stress-related diseases.

Last week, we went to Gaisano Malaybalay to get stuffs needed for MIL's wake, like coffee, juices, biscuits, etc. While husband bought the stuffs in the list, I was at the 3rd floor particularly on the kid's section to buy our son a plain white shirt to be used in the funeral.
No matter how tight our budget was last week, I still bought Xye not only the plain white shirt but plus two more shirts. I picked a nickelodeon spongebob shirt at P190.00 and a white gangman style printed shirt at P170.00. I'm not sure if this will really fall as thrift finds, but since most of Xye's shirts are becoming body-hugging, I think it's considerable.
Before leaving the mall, hmmm I thought I saw a cool alto speakers ts115a displayed near the newly opened Watson store. Anyway, I forgot to bring my interdental brushes with me during the trip and I badly needed one and good thing Watson is already in Malaybalay.
What are interdental brushes? These are typically small toothbrush used to clean between teeth or areas between wires of the dental braces and the teeth.
At P89.00 I got a pack of 5 I-type interdental brushes, what I have at home are the L-type, those that have plastic handle shaped in letter L.
With these tiny brushes, I can always clean the areas that are hard to reach when using only the ordinary toothbrush.

Hmmm...what can I knit today?/
Now that all of our packages are shipped for Christmas, yesterday I felt like I needed something inspiring, but small to knit on for the next few days. I selected these Mission Falls Nikki Mitttens from the new For Him & Her book. I changed the colors to coordinate with my winter vest and coat. I'm also knitting mine in the round on double pointed needles rather than straight needles. If you tried our Fair Isle Mystery Hat Knit along, this may just be a fun "next step" project for you. We sell the kit at and you can substitute colors. Click Here to shop Kit. or click here to view/shop Mission Falls colors.
Here's what I accomplished last night while watching Die Hard 4 with my husband last night. It's working up rather quickly!
