How long have you been knitting?
How long have you been knitting?
The summer of 1999 was a magical summer! I had this rather random thought that I wanted a new hobby. Knitting was the first thing that came to my mind. I knew less than nothing about knitting and I did not know anyone who knew how, or so I thought.
So with my new brilliant idea for a hobby, I took a field trip to the yarn isle of AC Moore. I found this beautifully expensive "Learn to Knit" book complete with color photos, etc etc. I then embarked on the yarn and needle mission; I turned my then craftless bones around and saw … TOO MANY CHOICES!! Just as if scripted, a lady walked down the isle methodically picking this and picking that, looking oh so knowledgeable. I asked her, "I want to knit and I picked up this book. Where else do I begin?" She smiled and gentally took the beautifully expensive book from my grip and said, "You don't need that book. This book will do just fine." She gave a small book to me, one that cost about 80% less than the one I'd chosen and it also included crochet instructions. After she gave the book to me, she picked up some needles, hooks, and yarn and sent me on my merry way. I proudly carried the tools for my hobby to the register and spent a wopping $15 (approximately). I would have spent dozens more if left to my own devices.
At home, I settled in for some quality exploration time. After reading the little book cover to cover and decided to try crochet first. I spent some time with that and said … ok … onward to KNITTING!! Well, I had the slip knot under control from the crochet lessons. BUT cast on did not work so well. I was determined and would not give up. I took my new hobby to work to try to figure it out at lunch. A co-worker noticed my perplexed face and approached. I told her my story and how I couldn't figure out the picture for cast on. Unbeknownst to me, she'd been knitting her whole life. So perhaps she found my predicament amusing Anyhoo … she showed me how to cast on, knit, and purl. From there, I took off and the little book made more sense to me. That little book taught me bind off, inc, dec, yo and the rest is history!!!
You might be asking, "What happened to crochet?" Well, for a time, I knitted and crocheted, but my crochet works never looked as good as my knitted works. My crochet guage was always fickle and my turns always looked horrible. For some reason, I find it difficult to count crochet stitches. I suspect that's why the AC Moore lady gave me the tools for both, so that I can discover for myself which I like best. In a nutshell, I know how to crochet, but I'm a knitter at heart.
i said 5-20, but really it has been about 6.5 years. i learned when i was pregnant with my second daughter and i actually went into labor at my first knitting group! i am within the last year or so, becoming more experimental and pretty much knitting something all the time.
I associate Knitting with Feminism because knitting was part of my first feminist act. In 1990 I was working in a bookstore that operated in a discount warehouse style. It was originally a supplier to schools and libraries that needed books by the pallet full so the books were shelved by publisher and then title because that's the way books come from the publisher. When they arrived in the store, we'd just rip the top off and put stacks of them out on the floor. School librarians would come by and scoop them up by the handful.
By the 80's word had spread about this funky place to buy books at twenty percent off, but shopping by publisher was confusing to some. So the store stared making subject shelves, with everything from car repair to antiques. Some of the women I worked with got together and started reading feminist text and women who came into the store looking for this genre were passed on to us. We had to show these women around to different shelves throughout the store because there was no women's studies shelf. After a while we started questioning this practice and asked the management for a women's studies shelf. They adamantly refused saying it wasn't necessary. If women had to search all over the store (which was as big as Powell's) then that was their problem.
The like minded feminist women at the store would gather on weekend afternoons, sipping tea, eating yummy treats and eventually knitting. Most of us were younger, feistier and ready for violence if our demands were not met. But Melinda, much older than us with a son our own age, was always knitting and her work was proudly displayed on him while he worked in the shipping area. We all became interested in her knitting, which seemed to foster her focus, concentration and deep thought at these meetings. So we wanted to learn this skill too.
We started to bring our needles into the store with us and ask her to show us some complicated stitch or configuration but one or two of the managers would come up to us and tell us not to knit in the store. The manager of the store had forbidden us to "talk shop" on company time, even though he and the fellas argued about baseball scores all through the day. "Put that away, you're taking up valuable work time," they would scoff at us. We saw red but kept up our knitting sessions, deferring to Melinda and her calm wisdom of working toward a resolution. Her lesson in restraint paid off. We developed a plan: We would go to the management as a group. They could refuse each of us individually but not standing together as a group. And of course it worked. We got our shelf.
I have been knitting and plotting revolution ever since.
FeministMama, What a story! I'm glad it had a happy ending.
Amigarabita, I can't believe you went into labor during your first knitting group! That's awesome.
ekgheiy, I used to crochet more than I knit, because I found it easier as a child. More intuitive to me. For instance, no one had to show me how to pick up stitches along the side of the work with crochet–it's just so intuitive, because you're so used to picking up stitches as you go anyway!
But now I'm definitely a knitter at heart. I just like the way knitting looks more, and I feel more accomplished, for some reason, when I've made something I like in knitting. I guess because it's harder! (At least to me it is!)
I've been knitting for a grand total of 1 week now. I did try crochet first, years ago, but I never could get the hang of it. Knitting seems to be alot easier for me, and I really don't know why. I do know that it's a whole lot of fun.
I taught myself when my first baby was born. I was just 17 and determined to knit him a cardigan. Obviously, my first attempt wasn't up to much and my Nan made some sarcastic comments about it but I kept on trying and, well… I've never looked back.
I have been knitting for 25 years,when my dad died i lived in a childrens
home and one of the ladies called Helen taught me to knit and i have been
doing it since,it keeps me relaxed as i suffer from depression (due to noisy
neighbours).I dont know what i would do without my knitting. :XX:
I learned how to knit from my friends mother when I was about 9. The only thing she taught me was the knit stitch and the backward loop co. I loved it from the start. I didn't have much access to materials, so I went through long periods of no knitting, with binges in between.
Every Barbie doll I owned had clothes, every boyfriend I every had as a teenager had a scarf, as well as other friend's gifts. When my children were arriving and small I knit for them. But then, with the hectic lifestyle of having 3 small children, etc. I got out of it except for the occasional gift. All has been self-taught from books and trial and error.
My grandson came home from his dad's with a sweater made my his great-grandmother, about three years ago. I told him I could knit, too. He asked me to make him one, and then it was two, then for his brother, and I don't think I've gone a day without knitting since. Sometimes he says he's sorry he asked me for a sweater because I insist on the "best" seat on the couch and now I spend too much time on the computer.
But boy, I showed that great-grandma a thing or two! :roflhard:
I posted that I am a beginner. Actually my grandma taught me to knit and purl 25 years ago, but she would always cast on for me so I only knew the stitiches.
I had a hysterectomy in March and I had 6 weeks at home to re-coop. I decided that I would try to learn knitting again. I could do that while parked on the couch. I took a class at AC Moore and I have been hooked ever since. My DH says I am knitting obsessed. That may be, but I am glad that I had all of the time to practice, practice, practice. I can't tell you how many times I would cast on, rip it out, do it again. Then I moved to knitting swatches, ripping them out and doing it again. Finally I moved to dishclothes and finished 3 for my mom and 3 for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I know that if I had been working I wouldn't have the time or the energy to do all of that practicing.
I have completed a baby blanket, two hats, 3 scarves, 3 more dishcloths, one felted bag, one sock (I am working on the other ), 6 out of 24 squares to an afghan, and I have 1/4 of a sweater vest completed for a Christmas present.
WOW! It's so cool that we have such a vast array of experience on KH!
I learned to knit a year and a half ago from a friend (who learned to knit from a kids book). We did LOTS of gartar stitch projects, formed an informal S&B with some other young hip knitter teachers, and then I became competative and decided that since she taught me, I had to learn how to do everything else before she did :lol: So I did!
since last December.
Its hard to believe how much Ive learned in 7 months! Thanks, you guys!
It's wonderful and fun to hear so many different stories about knitting. As of last month I have been knitting for 1 year. I am 46 & have been disabled for many, many years do to many things resulting from a car wreck and one thing after another…leaving me in a world of pretty much constant pain & having to stay around the house & spend a lot of time in bed…YES…I WAS GOING CRAZY; u can only watch so much TV & movies over the years…lol! After my last child had left home I really became stir crazy. One evening my husband & I were talking & I mentioned that I thought I might want to learn to knit. Well, wonderful man that he is, came home the next day telling me he had looked at 'Joann's Crafts' for a knitting kit for me & they had nothing; he then took me to Michaels & got a 'Learn to Knit' kit that is distributed by Lionbrand & Boye & I grabbed some yarn & started practicing & have been pretty much knitting every since my wonder, sweet DH decided that he was going to help me learn to knit . I am living proof that knitting is a form of therapy, indeed, I am busy knitting & don't think about the pain & have even been able to reduce the amt. of pain meds that I have to take. My doctor was astonished that I did not end up in the hospital over the winter and during a period of time over the past couple of months due to a couple of incidents (partial hip dislocation)…but, as I told him Prayer and knitting helped keep me out of the hospital when in the past I usually spend 2 or 3 visits to hospital for pain control due to my disability…Praise God that I've not been in the hospital in the past year…as I said…thanks to PRAYER AND KNITTING!!! You can't ask for better therapy than that!! I've since told my doc (Of course) about the Therapeutic qualities of knitting & hobbies in general, of which he was already aware and recommends to other patients. fyi, this is a dr. that specializes in pain control & his patients need all the help they can get and they see (and ask about) me knitting once a month in the doctor's office & I share how it's helped me & hopefully will help another…whew…long story, I'm done :waving:
I was taught to knit when I was 13 by my Aunt Vi. I never took off with it, because she lived in Pennsylvania and I lived in Florida and she could not show me what to do.
I decided a year ago that I was going to re-learn. This past January, I started and completed my first project, a scarf that was a birthday gift (wiat, I think there may be a pattern here) and just finished my 6th project. I noticed I am getting quicker, but don't get to knit every day.
i thought you were a pro!!! :oo: you're a newbie too!!! :balloons: :XX:
i've been knitting for 4 months… just deciced to after i was surfin the web and came across the felted tote and wanted one as a baby bag… haven't finished anything else but i did finish the bad… would show u a pic but i don't have a digital camara… maybe i can barrow my dads…
I have been an avid/addicted crocheter for about 30 years actually now that I think of it… wow…
Over the past few years, I've picked up knitting and attempted it several times, only to get frustrated and put the TWO needles away and pick back up my friendly ONE HOOK…
Over and Over again, Id try and just could not coordinate two needles and holding yarn in the 'other hand'…
Well , then one day I was just searching through crochet e-groups and found one called "knitting with a crochet hook"… This I HADDA SEE.
And sure enough "amazing needle" does let you do that. So I was off, knitting the dishcloths I so loved and could never make myself.
Well this little jaunt into this tool made me more determined than ever to not be beaten by TWO NEEDLES! And now having a little better idea of 'how' stitchs worked and looked, I tried again… Again no luck. Back to my amazing needle and my ever faithful crochet.
Then I happen to be watching a knitting show on DIY network and saw someone knitting while holding the yarn in their left hand!! JUST LIKE I did in crochet! and it looked SOOO much easier to me as a crocheter.
The lady explained it was "Continental"… And onto the internet I went!!
and guess what I found Knittinghelp.com with the most amazing videos and Gasp she did continental!!!
It's been about 3 months now. Ive knit my favorite dishcloths with real knitting needles! Ive made baby soakers and am still working on that ding-dang raglan sweater!
For me as a crocheter , continental was SOO much easier!
And thanks to this site, I can knit!
And while I was going through all this, my 20 year old daughter decided she too would teach herself to knit she already crocheted and she prefers the 'throwing' method. Go figure
Something weird about knitting though… It's addicting…No one warned me!!
aka Kath
When I was about 10, I bought a book and tried to teach myself to knit. I managed about a 6" by 4" piece that took forever and was very difficult. I decided that I was doing it wrong and quit.
Then, about 20 years later, I took a class and learned to hold my yarn in my left hand. I put it down. When my parent became ill, I started knitting again in order to have something to do while sitting in waiting rooms. I've been knitting every since. :mrgreen:
Now when I look back at my attempt at teaching myself, I know that I was a very very tight knitter but was doing fine. Ohhhh the lost years of knitting. :doh:
I started knitting in November of last year, about the time I figured out that I had nowhere near enough money to get presents for everyone in my constantly expanding family.
I saw a cute pair of knitted Mary Janes at Wallyworld, and, independent minded person that I am, decided that rather than pay WalMart to make them for me, I would learn how to knit and make every female in my family a pair for Christmas.
I never did figure out how to make those exact slippers (I think they must have used a knitting machine or something), but every female in my family got something knitted (or crocheted - I had to switch to something a little faster when I started running out of time!) that Christmas, and my boys started begging for some, too - which I have yet to make, because I was sooo sick of slippers! But they each got a knitted hat and mitten set, my BIL got gloves, and my husband is getting his first knitted gift, a tush-cushion cover. I haven't made anything for myself yet, but I have plenty of time… although with at least 3 people in my circle expecting, it may have to wait until after I'm done w/all the baby blankets and outfits I've got my eye on…

Payoff recently announced they will now provide monthly access to FICO® Scores for free beginning January 2016 to its members who have refinanced their credit card balances with a Payoff Loan.
Payoff Members will have access to their FICO Score, as well as trending information and educational resources describing factors contributing to their score. FICO Scores will be refreshed monthly based on Transunion data to give Payoff Members up-to-date information, which will include:
- FICO® Score with two key factors impacting their score
- FICO® Score Meter to show them where they fall within the credit score range
- A visual of the score range to help them understand what each range means to financial institution
- A breakdown of the factors that contribute to FICO® Scores
A study of Payoff members from December 2014 through September 2015 found that those who paid off $5,000 in credit card balances using a Payoff Loan saw an average increase in their FICO Score of 40 points.
We all know that paying the minimum balances on credit cards doesn't work if you're trying to get out of debt.
As an example using Bankrate.com's credit card minimum payment calculator, a $5,000 credit card balance at 18% interest and making a $125 (2.5%) monthly minimum payment, would take 272 months to be rid of your debt and cost you $6,923.14 in interest!
Credit card debt is a serious situation. Especially when juggling more than one card and when your budget is only allowing for minimum payments.
Sure, you can squeeze your budget, cut costs, and work extra. This should all be done at a minimum! You might even have to do some work to renegotiate interest rates (we'll show you a tool to help with this in a bit).
Some people rely on debt consolidation and transferring balances over to low or no interest cards. That's certainly an option, but you'll start paying interest again after X amount of months and there may be an upfront fee to conduct the transfer.
Thus begins the balance transfer game and moving your debt from one card to another.
We recently became introduced to a company dedicated to helping people pay off their credit card balances. They're appropriately called, Payoff.
In today's post, we explore how Payoff works and what we see as some of the advantages and disadvantages. Here's our Payoff review.
About Payoff & The Payoff Loan™
Payoff states that they are a "next generation financial services company" on their website. They were founded with a purpose – to help people pay off high interest credit card debt.
With the Payoff Loan™, you can pay off balances between $5,000-$25,000 in 2-5 year terms. They state that they are not a bank, and their loan application process won't hurt your credit score because they only do a soft credit check.
Payoff works with a bank partner, First Electronic Bank, to originate loans for their members. They also do all the underwriting and servicing themselves to simplify the process, loan terms and rate options.
What interest rates can you expect?
They currently offer "fixed rates between 6.00% (8% APR) and 19.65% (22% APR) for loan amounts from $5,000 to $25,000." Per the website, your rate is determined by your credit score, loan amount within their range, credit usage and history.
The Payoff Loan™ Terms
There are no an application fees, prepayment penalties, late fees, check processing fees or annual fees. They have one fee, called the Payoff Platform Fee, which you can expect to be 2-5% of the loan amount and is based on the length of the loan.
There is also a $15 returned payment fee should your account not cover the payment or your check bounce.
Again, the goal is to focus on helping people with credit card debt go through a simplified process to secure a loan and turn their finances around in relatively little time.
However, The Payoff Loan™ isn't for everyone. There are specific requirements you'll need to meet in order to qualify for a Payoff Loan™, and here's what you can expect:
- FICO Score: 660 or higher
- Debt to Income Ratio (Unsecured): Less than or equal to 50%
- Credit History: At least 3 years of credit
- Open and Satisfactory Trades: 2 open and satisfactory trades and no more than one installment loan in last 12 months
- No current delinquencies
So, your finances need to be in decent shape to qualify. In other words, you might need to do some clean up work before you do business with Payoff, which they offer help with through Lift – their free financial wellness platform. Payoff Lift helps you save money, control spending, negotiate with creditors for lower rates, and ultimately become more financially well.
Disadvantages of Using Payoff.com
Limited availability – The Payoff Loan™ is not available in these 21 states (check the Payoff website for updates): Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Deposited into your account – It would be nice if Payoff took care of the credit card company payments for you or allowed you to do so directly from their website. However, the funds are deposited directly into your checking account. I fear that some people may not get around to using the money to pay off their credit card debt and opt for the summer vacation instead.
While this isn't necessarily Payoff's problem, credit card debt is usually the result of behavioral issues that need to get corrected. If the behavior hasn't changed, additional funds can result in bigger problems.
Qualification requirements – Along with limited states, Payoff is looking for a somewhat specific customer. If you're in a lot of trouble, missing payments, have a low credit score, etc., again, you've likely got some work to do before Payoff can help you. You can use Payoff's free financial education platform, Lift, to help boost your credit and prepare for a loan. You can also reach out to them to see what advice or other resources they might be able to provide.
Advantages of Using Payoff.com
Don't have to open a new card – A lot of people open up new credit cards to consolidate credit card balances and work towards paying off debt. The problem in doing so is that debts often grow larger because people feel a sense of relief and run up their balances again on the clean cards.
Focus to pay off credit cards – Payoff only provides loans to pay off credit cards so their service is highly focused on helping people in this particular area. That could be seen as a disadvantage for some who have student debt or car loans, but they are laser focused in helping people overcome problems with high interest credit cards and keeping them from being taken advantage of by credit card companies.
Payoff's Financial Personality Quiz – They have a quiz designed to help you become more financially aware so you can improve your financial habits. It's a fun 3-minute assessment that gives you insight into why you think about your finances the way you do. The FPQ is accessible to anyone regardless of if you have a Payoff Loan™.
Straightforward qualification – Payoff has made the fee structure straightforward so you don't have to question what you're paying for your loan. The Platform Fee is your cost of the loan and again, that fee will vary from 2-5% of the loan amount.
Their Member Experience Team – Payoff's version of customer service. You always get to talk to a real person. Member Advocates understand your challenges, can really relate and want to help you get on a better path. Right when your loan is funded, a Member Advocate sets up a welcome call to discuss your situation and your dreams so they can help you achieve success.
Payoff Review Final Thoughts
Payoff offers yet another option to consider in your debt payoff plan. We do caution, as already mentioned, that sometimes adding an additional loan to a payoff plan is not the answer and can very well backfire leaving you in worse shape. With that, we recommend the following approach:
1) establish a budget; 2) evaluate and change spending behaviors with a budget coach who can hold you accountable; 3) establish a debt payoff plan and begin executing and finally; 4) consider a consolidation loan as a strategy to increase your payoff plan velocity.
If you think Payoff may work for you, the application process is rather easy. You'll follow 4 steps:
1) check your rate and get loan payment choices; 2) choose a final payment amount and schedule; 3) verify your information; 4) receive funding upon approval.
You can expect a Member Advocate to contact you during the approval process to verify your information and you can contact them any time with questions. If approved, you can expect your loan in 2-5 business days.

A job posting lists these skills: J2EE, EJB, JSP, XML, WebSphere, Oracle, UML, HTML, servlets and a minimum GPA of 3.0. You meet them all, aside from the one for UML. But does the company really expect to find a candidate with this laundry list of skills?
Should you apply, or keep looking?
Technology executives, hiring managers and human resource professionals say they don't intend to frustrate job seekers with lists of technical skills. However, they acknowledge techies must contend with a variety of approaches to listing skills that require candidates to read between the lines to determine what a company really wants.
"There's no real law or rule on job postings," says Sean Chou, CTO of Fieldglass, a software technology company.
The current job market adds to the difficulty. Companies sometimes post over-the-top laundry lists of skills just to see what kind of talent they can attract -- or to screen out unqualified applicants.
"As soon as the market slowed down, companies were creating unrealistic lists of skills," says Scott Hajer, senior corporate recruiter at Software Architects, an IT consulting firm.
Fantasy Combinations
A classic example is a position requiring more years of experience with a technology than it has been in existence. According to Hajer, such postings are sometimes "written by recruiters who don't understand what they're putting in an ad. [Job seekers] make fun of companies that will list something like four years of .NET. The laundry listing is something they find really frustrating."
Hajer contends such lists don't help companies weed out candidates. "In this market, candidates don't self-screen," he says. "They're more into resume spamming."
What Does "Required" Mean?
Thus, a simple question -- "Does required mean required?" -- becomes a conundrum for conscientious job seekers. Many companies differentiate between required skills and desired or preferred skills. In such listings, "required" often means just that.
"If you don't have the required skills, you should not even consider applying for the job," Chou says of his company's listings. "It's a right to play. If you don't meet it, you shouldn't be in the ballpark."
Others concur. "When we say they're required on our postings, they are essential," says Mary Medved, vice president of human resources for WAM!NET Government Services.
Although, not everyone agrees. "Those things are the wish list for the company," says Lee Morrow, chief technology officer of Quantum AI, an enterprise application integration firm. "If half of the stuff on the list is what you do, give it a shot."
Read Between the Lines
Hiring managers and others say job applicants should read job postings carefully to determine if a company is presenting a wish list or set-in-stone requirements.
For instance, RightNow Technologies lists the following requirements for a senior software developer: 3-plus years of professional software development experience, expertise in C/C++, proficiency in SQL (preferably Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL) and UNIX software development. Other desired skills include DHTML, Java and .NET.
Candidates must meet the requirements for consideration, says Susan Carstensen, the company's chief financial officer and head of HR. RightNow goes one step further, sending questionnaires to potential candidates asking them to rate themselves on a scale from one (for no knowledge) to five (for expert) in areas such as C, C++, Unix, SQL and Java.
There are other clues to how seriously a company views the requirements. WAM!NET, for example, needs to fill scores of openings that require security-clearance eligibility. Got a sordid past? Don't even think about applying.
Chou recommends candidates review postings for comparable positions. If the target job's requirements seem overblown compared to other postings, the company may be posting a dream listing and will likely be more flexible about granting interviews.
That's not to say candidates will always know when to apply. "In today's economy, people are thinking of job postings as a fuzzy match," says Chou. "If they're close, they're willing to send in their resume."

Truck-driver buddies find out they are biological father and son - working at the same place
Nathan Boos got his love for 18-wheelers from someplace, but he didn't know where until he was 23.
Boos was hauling a load of soybean meal from Illinois to Georgia when he found out. His adoptive father decided to join him on the cross-country delivery for fun, and one night he told Boos that it made sense that he grew up to become a truck driver: His birth father was a truck driver, too.
The discovery was almost eerie for Boos, who had never been too curious about the lives of his biological parents, he told The Washington Post. He stopped wanting to know about them by the time he was in junior high, when the feeling that he didn't fit into his own family subsided. He was content not even knowing their names. And the night he found out that he and his biological father shared a career in common, that didn't change.
"I said, 'I probably met my father when I was trucking on the road,' " said Boos, now 27. "I probably met him at a truck stop and didn't know it. It wasn't something I was hellbent on figuring out."
But a few years later, he would figure it out anyway - by accident.
In July 2016, he started working at Rock Solid Transport in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, where he met Robert Degaro. Degaro, who started at the company in November 2015, was a tattooed, mustachioed 55-year-old with a pierced ear and, like Boos, an affinity for cracking jokes at their co-workers' expense. That was how the two became friends. Their jokes spilled over onto Facebook - where soon enough Boos's mother started to notice.
The name Robert Degaro was familiar to her. She hesitated to believe that the man who kept popping up on her son's Facebook page was the same man who was his biological father. But in January, she called her son over to sit down next to her, Boos said, and she pulled up Degaro's picture on Facebook.
" 'I just want you to know,' " Boos recalled her saying, " 'that you're friends with your birth father on Facebook.' "
Boos almost fell off the couch.
"I was like, 'Oh my God, I work with this guy,' " Boos said. His mom didn't make the connection right away. "She's like, 'Yeah, have you seen him out on the road?' "
"I said, 'Yeah, I just talked to him - two hours ago!' " Boos responded. "Mom, he's not just another truck driver. He works at Rock Solid."
His mom almost fell off the couch, too.
Boos let it sink in for a day before searching Facebook the next evening for the least jarring words to reveal to his pal Bob that he might be his biological father.
"Hey, Bob," he started, according to the original Facebook messages, which were provided to The Washington Post. Boos threw out Degaro's ex-wife's name, asking if Degaro knew her.
"Yes," Degaro responded. "She is my ex-wife."
"Really. . ." Boos said. "I just found out that she's my biological mother . . . my mom told me last night."
The two friends got off Facebook and got on the phone, exchanging awkward laughs and occasional moments of silence.
"I couldn't stop laughing, because we had been working with each other for almost two years at this point and hadn't figured this out," Boos said. "To him, it was a shock and to me it was a shock, and we didn't know what to say to each other. It was so unbelievable. Who in their right mind would think that after 20-some years, you'd actually find out where you come from or find your kid and you had no idea where he went?"
For the first time, Boos learned the full story of his adoption. Degaro's life in nearby Eau Claire, Wisconsin, was rocky back then, he told The Post. Money was tight and his marriage was crumbling. The doctors told the couple that their baby would be premature and would require an emergency C-section, Degaro recalled. And it all just seemed overwhelming. Degaro wasn't ready to be a father, he said, let alone to a baby who may need special medical attention. His then-wife suggested adoption, and he agreed. He signed his rights away, his wife made the adoption arrangements and - at least for 27 years - he never saw the child.
"In the back of your mind, you always kind of wonder where he was at and how he turned out," Degaro said. "Now it's just nice to be able to know he turned out to be successful and such a good person."
Little has changed at work for the truckers, they said, even as their story began unfolding on the local news last week. Boos has avoided saying that he has been "reunited" with his birth father, knowing they were never really lost. Degaro has avoided pushing a father-son relationship too hard, knowing they were never supposed to have one in the first place. "Obviously, I can't just step in and say 'I'm your dad' when he was raised by somebody else," Degaro said. "We're still more just friends."
But who knows, he said, "maybe things will change."
Boos is getting married in May. Degaro, who is also engaged, already had been invited to the wedding, as were all their co-workers at Rock Solid Transport.
But now Degaro, Boos said, will find a seat at the table reserved for family.

Have you ever wondered that Home has a fragrance, a typical smell that remains latent in your memory somewhere deep down. It is only when you leave your home for a long time, and return after a few - what seems like an eternity - years, then you realize and feel that special smell belonging to your home. The porch you once sat upon, the study table now lying under a pile of retired things, your spot from where you used to watch Disney Hour and the likes for hours, dinner table, your room, the rooftop, the almirah you hid in while playing hide and seek, the creepy loft.. and everything else that makes a part of childhood spent in the home that you remember, has a smell. A fragrance you once knew as Home.

Prolonged survival of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation: the GELTAMO experience

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AIL) is a rare lymphoma with a poor prognosis and no standard treatment. Here, we report our experiences with 19 patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC/ASCT) within the GELTAMO co-operative group between 1992 and 2004.
The median age at transplantation was 46 yr. Fifteen patients underwent the procedure as front-line therapy and four patients as salvage therapy. Most patients received peripheral stem cells (90%) coupled with BEAM or BEAC as conditioning regimen (79%).
A 79% of patients achieved complete response, 5% partial response and 16% failed the procedure. After a median follow-up of 25 months, eight patients died (seven of progressive disease and secondary neoplasia), while actuarial overall survival and progression-free survival at 3 yr was 60% and 55%. Prognostic factors associated with a poor outcome included bone marrow involvement, transplantation in refractory disease state, attributing more than one factor of the age-adjusted-International Prognostic Index, Pretransplant peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) Score or Prognostic Index for PTCL.
More than half of the patients with AIL that display unfavourable prognostic factors at diagnosis or relapse would be expected to be alive and disease-free after 3 yr when treated with HDC/ASCT. Patients who are transplanted in a refractory disease state do not benefit from this procedure.

We demonstrate an all-fiber Er chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system based on compression in photonic band gap fiber (PBGF) that produces 570 fs pulses with 310 nJ pulse energy. The dispersion of the PBGF is measured precisely and used to design a dispersion-matched nonlinearly-chirped fiber Bragg grating stretcher. We analyze the trade-offs of such all-fiber CPA system design and compare different PBGFs in terms of the derived figure of merit. Such system architecture should be scalable to few micro-Joule level pulse energies close to the compressor nonlinearity limit when PBGFs with improved figure of merit become available.

ALEC-Modeled Anti-Union Bill Introduced in Florida House
State House Representative Scott Plakon (R-Seminole) just filed House Bill 11, an anti-public employee union bill that was originally created and promulgated by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and that was introduced in other states. Were the bill to become law, it would effectively decertify public employee unions with membership below 50% of all eligible employees. The bill would also require yearly registration of bargaining units that would include financial information about its individual members. The legislation specifically but inexplicably exempts law enforcement and firefighter unions.
The UNF-UFF current membership is 38%. Thus, were the legislation to pass, all UNF faculty would lose the ability to engage in collective bargaining, to enforce a standard contract, to protect individual faculty members' academic freedom, and to ensure equity in terms of course load. Correspondingly, university administration could hire, fire, alter work assignments, and pay different faculty per its whims rather than via specific and negotiated standards.We need you now more than ever!

Custom Styling Facebook Like Button: Is It Possible?
Facebook provides a Like button that you can put on your website to let your visitors like the content they browse on your pages. In this post, I will discuss whether it is possible or not to custom style the Facebook Like button.
You can easily place a Facebook Like button or a Facebook Share button on your website to enhance the social interaction with your visitors by giving them an option to provide feedback about your content by liking and/or sharing it with their friends.
Facebook provides a detailed set of instructions and examples for implementing the Like and Share buttons on your website on the following pages in their developer documents:
Facebook Like Button Instructions and Examples
Facebook Share Button Instructions and Examples
With the Share button, webmasters have the freedom to custom style it the way they wish to fit to the style and layout of their websites. But, is it the same with the Like button? Can we create a custom styled Facebook Like button to place on our websites?
Can Facebook Like Button Have Custom Style?
It can and it can't. But more importantly, it shouldn't. Let me explain how it can and it can't have a custom style first and then continue with explaining why it shouldn't.
You can have a custom styled Facebook Like button on your website or web (or mobile) application but you should know that this is not something supported by Facebook by default and it may be a tough task to accomplish and maintain unlike the simple styling of the Share button as I explained in this tutorial.
Facebook provides the Like button code on their Like Button Configurator page where you can adjust the button settings. This code has two parts. The first part is the HTML code for the button container div that you will insert into your website and the second part is the JavaScript code that links to the Facebook SDK file and controls how the button will display and function on your site.
The actual Like button is generated on the fly within an iframe, when a visitor opens your page in their web browser. Since the button itself is hosted and controlled via an iframe that is located on Facebook site, due to browsers' cross-domain policies, you have no access or control to change the content or style of that iframe, even if you are displaying it on your website. For that reason, you can't change the CSS of the Facebook Like button.
What you can do to overcome this and give your own style to the Like button is that you can use the Like Action of Facebook's Open Graph API. Though it may sound easy at first, you will not only need to have the API knowledge for the specific language (PHP, ASP, Ruby, etc.) your website is built on, but you will also need to ask every single visitor to give permission for your website (by logging in Facebook through your application) to execute the like actions they perform using your custom buttons. Another difficulty is to keep track of the Like counts and provide a means for the users to Unlike content they previously liked.
If you have a specific web/mobile application that requires user login and that you definitely need to custom style the Facebook Like button in your application for a certain functionality, then you can follow the API route to custom style your Like buttons as described above. Otherwise, if you have a general website open to everyone, using the default Facebook Like button is the way to go and I will explain why in more detail below.
Why You Shouldn't Custom Style Facebook Like Button on Your Website
Some time ago, it was possible to change the style of the Like button to an extent, but over the years Facebook eventually came to the conclusion that they wanted to preserve the same user experience across all platforms and third party websites that use their social plugins and modified their Like button in a non-customizable way. Now, you may think why the Share button is customizable, then? Well, that's because the share action does not take place instantly as you click a Share button on a website. When you click a Share button, the share dialog opens in a new window preparing the URL, its title and preview to be shared and asks your confirmation to publish the share. However, Like button doesn't work like that. When you click the Like button on a web page, the Like action takes place immediately and your "Like" is shared/displayed on your profile.
If webmasters had the ability to custom style the Like buttons, or even think of webmasters with ill intentions that hide or replace the Like button with something else to trick you into clicking it and unknowingly liking it in the background (without asking your consent as described above), hence posting on your Facebook profile. Would that be nice? Of course, not.
On their Platform Policy page in the social plugins section, Facebook makes it clear that you shouldn't hide the elements of their social plugins, including the Like button. What this means is obscuring or covering the original button and displaying something else that will trigger the Like action (unless you are using the API and getting user consent) is forbidden for the privacy and security concerns.
Also, let's imagine that you implemented the API solution to custom style the Like button on your website or application, which requires the users to log in and give consent when they will like something on your website. This will most probably annoy users, to have to log in to their Facebook account just to like a random page on the web. As mentioned above, use this solution only if you really need to.
As a webmaster or app developer, you should keep the above points in mind and decide if you really need a custom Like button or not on your website, if it will be a nice experience or an annoyance for your users.
My personal recommendation would be to continue using the default Facebook Like button unless you really need to have a custom styled one on your website. If a client of yours is insisting on having a custom button, educate them about the potential problems we discussed above, you can also refer them to this page.
