Scale the highest peaks for your family history research in Denver.
A gold rush brought settlers to the foothills of the Rockies in 1859, and as more gold was discovered, Denver became a booming town. Now a major metropolis with a population larger than Wyoming's, the Mile High City houses many family history resources for those with Western ancestry.
If you're ready to hit the genealogical slopes, your first peak will be the National Archives and Records Administration Rocky Mountain Region (West Sixth Avenue and Kipling Street, Building 48, 303-236-0817, <www.nara.gov/regional/denver.html>). Besides its collection of all US censuses and indexes from 1790 to 1920, this NARA facility has Revolutionary War records, pension and bounty land warrant applications, Indian censuses, Utah polygamy prosecution case files and Colorado naturalizations. Archival holdings here date back to 1860, and come from Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. Its microfilmed records are related to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and Reconstruction, Native American-government relations, westward expansion and World War II.
Prior to your visit, download the Guide to Archival Holdings at NARA's Rocky Mountain Region (Denver) at <www.nara.gov/regional/findaids/dengdtoc.html>. The microfilm research area is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., and on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. In the spring, this room will be moving to the building behind the current facility to accommodate the flood of 1930 census researchers, offering more space and microfilm readers. The facility is about 7 miles west of downtown Denver and about 35 miles west-southwest of the Denver International Airport. As at all NARA regional facilities, you'll need a researcher identification card, which you can get upon arrival.
Is your focus on the state of Colorado? Visit both the Colorado Division of State Archives and Public Records and the Colorado Historical Society. The state archives (1313 Sherman St., 303-866-2358, <www.archives.state.co.us/geneal.html>) hold all kinds of Colorado records: vital, court and judicial system, legislative history, business incorporation, corrections, military, school and census. They include the statewide marriage and divorce index (1890-1939; 1975-2001); birth and death records before 1901; naturalization records; the 1885 Colorado state census; teacher lists and school pupil census lists for many counties; Colorado veterans' grave registrations (1862-1949); and city directories (1866-1975). The archives are located one block south of the state Capitol building in Denver, and the research room is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
At the historical society (1300 Broadway, 303-866-3682, <www.coloradohistory.org>), you'll gain access to the Stephen H. Hart Library, one of the West's most comprehensive history libraries. Tap its vast collections of books, maps, architectural drawings, private and business correspondence, family albums, photographic prints, magazines and newspapers. The photograph collection is nothing to sneeze at, either: 600,000 historic images of Colorado's people, industries, agriculture and communities. You can view a small portion of them at <gowest.coalliance.org>. Once you get there and find a photo you'd like to have, an on-site imaging studio provides high-quality photographic prints and scans of society images and artifacts. The library is open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is located on the second floor of the Colorado History Museum.
Across the street is the Denver Public Library, where you can explore the western history and genealogy department (10 W. 14th Ave. Parkway, 720-865-1111, <www.denver.lib.co.us>). This department offers books, manuscripts, artifacts and photographs. The central library is also the region's only federal deposit library, containing 2.3 million documents. It's open Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The library is located on the southern edge of Civic Center Park.
Denver professional genealogist Joe Beine also recommends the nearby Clerk and Recorder's Office (1437 Bannock St., 720-865-8400, <www.denvergov.org/Clerk_and_Recorder>), where you can do real-estate and property research. This office is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is located in the Denver City & County Building.
As for where to stay, there are plenty of downtown hotels: Courtyard by Marriott (934 16th St., 303-571-1114), Adam's Mark (1550 Court Place, 800-444-2326), Cambridge Club Hotel (1560 Sherman St., 800-877-1252) and Oxford Hotel (1600 17th St., 800-228-5838). Denver's most historic hotel is the 1892 Brown Palace (321 17th St., 303-297-3111), whose guests have ranged from Teddy Roosevelt to the Beatles. Refuel at one of the many local restaurants and breweries, such as: Hotcakes — American (1400 E. 18th Ave., 303-830-1090); Gallagher's Steak House continental (1060 15th St., 303-825-6555); and Wazee Supper Club — American (1600 15th St., 303-623-9518).
Besides its genealogical collections, the city offers many museums and heritage sites to explore between research stops. The Black American West Museum & Heritage Center (3901 California, 303-292-2566, <www.coax.net/people/lwf/bawmus.htm>) tells the forgotten story of African-Americans who worked as cowboys in the Old West through photographs, personal artifacts, clothing and oral histories. Buffalo Bill Crave & Museum (top of Lookout Mountain, exit 256 from I-70, 303-526-0747, <www.buffalobill.org>) celebrates the life of Buffalo Bill Cody, from his days as a Pony Express rider and buffalo hunter to world-renowned showman. At the Colorado Railroad Museum (17155 W. 44th Ave., 800-365-6263, <www.crrm.org>), you can relive the days when 2,000 miles of narrow-gauge railroad snaked through Colorado's mountains in a replica of an 1880-style depot, with exhibits featuring 50,000 artifacts and photos. If you have Latinos in your family history, check out the Museo de las Americas (861 Sante Fe Drive, 303-571-4401, <www.museo.org>), which focuses on the art, history and culture of Latinos in the Americas from ancient times to the present.

If you can go only one place to research your roots, make it Salt Lake City. Here's how to get the most out of your visit.
When Brigham Young founded Salt Lake City in 1847, he decided that this oasis between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake would be the "New Jerusalem." Today, more than 150 years and more than 1 million people later, the booming metropolis of Salt Lake City draws the faithful much as Young envisioned.
Salt Lake City is a mecca for family historians, too. Tens of thousands make a pilgrimage there every year. The Family History Library on Temple Square in the heart of the city houses the world's largest genealogical research collection (35 N. West Temple St., 801-240-2331 or 800-453-3860 Ext. 22331, <www.familysearch.org>; open Monday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.). Odds are excellent that records in the Family History Library (FHL) include some of your ancestors.
The library's collection encompasses more than 2.5 million rolls of microfilmed records, 745,000 microfiche and 300,000 books, plus indexes and electronic resources. You'll find row after row of self-service microfilm, microfiche and books at your fingertips. These contain church, birth, marriage, death, tax, land, probate, passenger arrival and departure, census and other records. The collection of family histories and locality histories in microform and in books is also extensive.
The collection covers the United States and many other countries. Of course, you have a branch of this fabulous library right in your own backyard — your local Family History Center, where you can borrow most of the Salt Lake City library's microfilm resources. (For more on Family History Centers, see the April 2000 issue of Family Tree Magazine.) And ever more of the library's riches are going online at <www.familysearch.org>, where you can peruse them in your pajamas. So why would you want to go all the way to Salt Lake City?
With proper preparation, you can accomplish in a week in Salt Lake City what might take a year of research visits to your Family History Center. You can move from the indexes to the deed, census or probate records without waiting. You can browse books that contain cemetery transcriptions, will abstracts, genealogical society publications, county histories, surname directories, research guides and more. All researchers are welcome, free of charge.
When planning your trip, make your hotel or motel reservations well in advance. Salt Lake City is a popular destination surrounded by many sports and culture venues. Nearby accommodations include Best Western Salt Lake Plaza Hotel (122 W. South Temple St., 800-366-3684), Carlton Hotel (140 E. South Temple St., 800-633-3500) and Crystal Inn (230 W. 500 South, 800-366-4466).
When you arrive depends on the schedule you want to use. Some people prefer to arrive midweek and have a break for reorganization on Sunday when the library is closed; midweek airfares are also generally cheaper. Others prefer a Sunday to Sunday trip, traveling on the day the library is closed. Mornings and evenings are the less busy times in the library.
If this is your first visit to the library, start by giving yourself a tour of the four research floors. Locate the reference counter, reference book area, attendant's window, film cabinets, copy center, rest rooms, telephones and elevators. Browse the books and binders in the general reference areas. Do a similar tour on subsequent trips to reacquaint yourself with the layout and with changes.
Each of the library's research floors has computers with the FamilySearch system and a self-service copy center for copying from books and microforms. A general reference area on each floor features frequently used map guides, address lists, indexes, lists of film numbers for selected records, how-to guides and more. Many of these excellent resources are in-house guides not available elsewhere.
You should have family group sheets and ancestor charts ready to refer to. Previous research or at least good family clues are necessary for the correct localities to search, since the FHL's records are largely locality-based. An alphabetized surname list and a chronological timeline are timesaving tools.
Also, review FamilySearch online before your trip. The online FHL catalog at <www.familysearch.org> will give you the call numbers for items to check at the library upon arrival and will aid in determining what information to bring along. If you find there are few records microfilmed for one ancestral locality, you may need an alternate research plan. Do check the International Genealogical Index (IGI) and Ancestral File for clues. If you find family connections via the IGI or Ancestral File, the library is the perfect place to check the validity or to expand those clues.
Some lesser-used microfilms are in off-site storage. There is no publicly available comprehensive list of these off-site films, though eventually the online catalog may indicate which films must be ordered. To obtain these films, you place an order on the appropriate floor at the library attendant window. Some films will be available the same day; others may take longer. Check early in your trip for your most important films to see if they aren't in the cabinet and need to be ordered. If a film isn't in the drawer, someone may be using it, or it may be out for repair or reboxing. The helpful staff at the window will be able to check the status using the call number you've gleaned from the catalog.
Throughout the library you'll find free and low-cost informational brochures on a variety of topics including the IGI, Ancestral File, Hamburg Passenger Lists, Social Security Death Index, Library Catalog and Research Outlines about genealogy in each US state, Canadian provinces and many foreign countries. These may also be viewed or ordered online via FamilySearch. Researchers may bring briefcases, laptops, pens, staplers, notebooks and other supplies into the library. An electronic security system makes sure no one removes library material. Occasionally, bags and briefcases are checked as patrons depart the building.
Family histories in book form are now a block away on the fourth floor of the historic Joseph Smith Memorial Building (JSMB). Family histories in microform remain in the library. In addition, the JSMB houses the FamilySearch Center with more than 180 computer workstations and individual laser printers.
You'll also find a duplicate set of the 1920 US census. A collection of family group records is found in more than 20,000 binders. The Garden Restaurant and The Roof Restaurant are in the JSMB. Note that the JSMB is open on Monday evenings when the library is closed.
Within two blocks of the library are two enclosed shopping malls with many of the stores and services any traveler or shopper might need.
Much of the downtown area is a free-fare zone for buses and for light rail, which runs one block from the library all the way south to Sandy, Utah. There are motels and restaurants near some rail stations. Bus lines radiate out from the light rail, and taxicabs are usually found at the stations.
Salt Lake City's street numbering system is easy to use once you understand it. Most street names indicate how far north, south, east or west the streets are located from Temple Square, which is the heart of the system. Thus, the street 400 South lies four blocks south of Temple Square. It runs east to west.
Some hotels offer shuttle service between the airport and hotel; commercial shuttle services are also available. Parking is available at area hotels, the malls and at surface parking lots within a few blocks of the library. The city blocks are longer and the streets wider than in most cities. Temple Square, across from the library, has flowers in bloom much of the year and is a peaceful place to walk.
Within two blocks of the library are a convenience store, a small grocery, two drugstores with food and stationery supplies, and movie theaters. A short cab ride away are office-supply stores, a full-service grocery store and many restaurants.
After a long day of searching the library, you'll be hungry. Some nearby restaurants you might want to try are Carriage Court Restaurant (71 W. South Temple St., 801-536-7200), City Creek Bar and Grill (215 W. South Temple St., 801-521-7800) and Dee's (143 W. North Temple St., 801-359-4414).
Your non-genealogist traveling companions won't lack for activities in Salt Lake City. The area is filled with places to ski, golf courses, professional sporting events, movie theaters, shopping malls, museums, symphony performances, parks and live theater. Just two hours away are several casinos in Wendover, Nev. Your companions might scout out the specialty restaurants, brewpubs, the zoo, the water park and other places to visit together after your day at the library. Be sure to take in a performance of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Sunday morning at Temple Square.
The Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau is a good contact <www.saltlake.org> for information on the city, hotels, museums, events and restaurants. The Insider's Guide to Salt Lake City <www.insiders.com/salt-lake> is also a helpful travel resource.

Sweet Sixteen! Today!
Alas, all we have are memories. Great memories!
Jake misses you ~ because Jake misses the time he steals your share of the food bowl. haha!
I miss you because you were such a part of our family. Adaptable, malleable, and just one awesome 'people' cat. Everyone who knew you, loved you. Except maybe the one that made you go away. I still think I know who made you go away. I have suspicion but not proof.
Oh Tom, you are totally missed!
And there is yet to be a blog page to honor you, oh sweet ol' Tom!
In any case, Happy Birthday!

A new KomicsKast: Marvel Month by Month has been posted on the new KK feed at KomicsKast.com This one features comics cover dated August 1962 - and in particular Amazing Fantasy 15 and Journey Into Mystery 83. Derek Coward teamed up with me on the AF, and Lyle Tucker and Van Reid joined in on the JIM segment, to discuss those issues.
I also ramble on about the comics I recieved in my latest DCBS shipment, as well as those that I was expecting but did not receive (not DCBS's fault though).

Now waiting at Hell's Kitchen -- America's Leading Pyromaniac
Had lunch with America's leading Pyromaniac and spouse at Hell's Kitchen. They bill themselves as having 'the best damn food'. Phil noticed that many of their offerings feature pears. Is this a nod to the current thought that the forbidden fruit was not an apple but a pear.
Not in LA
This sandwich shop is visible from the table Mary Tyler Moore sat at in the opening of her show. The courtyard between the buildings has been enclosed to keep out the elements - but a huge rain fountain from 6 floors up splashes down.

Camping Again
Great low tides, wonderful weather the perfect camp site.
The boys have loved running in the surf and riding their boogie boards.
And keeping with our family's tradition, we are leaving a day early. We had to make our camping plans 6 months ago - once again something has come up requiring us to return early.
Next year we'll try to stay the whole time.

Hand-dyeing paper is a simple project that turns sheets of plain white paper into unique and creative pieces of art. Dyed paper adds a personal touch to letters, invitations, scrapbooks, art projects and even wrapping paper. Hand-dyeing paper takes little time, is relatively inexpensive and can be done at home with simple supplies. Dye paper using coffee grounds, tea bags, paper dyes and fabric dyes to produce an assortment of colors.
Select the type of dye you want to use. Choose coffee grounds or tea bags for muted shades of brown. Use paper dye or fabric dye for bright, vibrant colors. Paper or fabric dyes can be purchased at craft stores.
Cover a flat working surface with a vinyl or plastic tablecloth to protect the area from becoming stained. Wear an apron and gloves when working with the dye to protect your skin and clothing in case of spills.
Heat one quart of water to boiling and add coffee grounds or tea bags. Add the coffee grounds and tea bags according to the desired shade. The more you add, the darker the dye will be. Mix paper or fabric dyes with water according to package instructions. Pour the dye into a plastic tub.
Prepare the paper for dyeing. Crumple the paper into a ball if a distressed or tie-dyed look is desired, or leave flat for consistent color. Place the crumpled or flat sheet of paper into the tub of dye. Remove the paper after a few seconds for a lighter hue. Leave your paper to soak for a few hours if a dark hue is desired.
Remove the paper from the dye and hold it over the tub for 20 to 30 seconds to allow the excess dye to run off. Place the dyed paper on top of the vinyl tablecloth to partially dry. Pull crumpled paper into a flat position carefully so as not to tear it.
Place the paper between two sheets of blotting paper. Place a heavy board or stack of phone books on top of the sandwiched paper. The weight will keep the dyed paper flat and smooth as it dries. Allow the paper to sit for two to three days. Remove the weight and carefully peel back the top layer of blotting paper to check the drying progress. If the paper is still damp, place a fresh piece of blotting paper over the dyed paper and return the weight to it. Remove the paper only when it is dry.
Most types of paper will work fine for dyeing. However, ordinary copy paper or blank newsprint are two of the most effective.
Dye paper an light brown color to make it look like an ancient parchment or pages from an old book. Try dyeing the edges darker than the rest as if it was burnt or deteriorating.
Create a textured, rusted look by pressing steel wool soaked in reddish-brown dye to the paper and then adding bits of salt.

The African Union (AU) has since 2005 been discussing proposals for 'alternative sources of financing'. This issue found momentum again at the 17th Ordinary Summit of the AU in June 2011 which resulted in a decision to expedite the setting up of a High Level Panel on Alternative Sources of Financing the Union (Decision/Assembly/AU/Dec.364 (XVII)). This Panel, also known as the Obasanjo Panel submitted a progress report to the Summit in July 2012 outlining proposals for increasing resources from within Africa. These proposals were supposed to be deliberated at the Ministerial level in the second half of 2012 in order for a decision to be made at the Summit. The Ministerial retreat did not take place; the discussion on financing proposals is now scheduled to take place at the end of March. In addition to proposals in the Obasanjo Panel report, the January 2014 draft of the Agenda 2063 Framework document also includes proposals for financing the AU.
The need for alternative financing arrangements is based on the AU's own analysis that 'the current system of statutory contributions, which had been in place since the OAU days, has been deemed to no longer be adequate to meet the growing financing needs of the Union' with most of the programmes being heavily dependent on partners (Obasanjo report).

Reza Farazmand is the creator, writer, and illustrator of the popular online comic strip Poorly Drawn Lines (PDL for short). He began drawing the strip in college and has since expanded it into the web sensation that it is today. Currently residing in Los Angeles, Reza continues to work on PDL, along with several other writing projects. Despite what the strip's name would have you think, Reza's comics are anything but poorly drawn. His ability to express many unique shades humor with just a tiny amount of written and visual information is a rare talent, and requires much more thought and planning than the effortless laugh-ability of his comics indicate at first glance. Here are ten questions that grant a glimpse into Reza's thoughts on the strip, and what he has planned next.
1. How does living in LA affect your drive to formulate new ideas?
LA is filled with creative people. It seems like everyone is doing something interesting. That type of environment can help motivate an artist or writer to create more. It can also lead to cool collaboration projects with like-minded people.
2. What cartoons did you grow up reading when you were younger? Do you still read them now?
I read the comic section in the newspaper back-to-back every Sunday. Some of my favorites were Pearls Before Swine, Get Fuzzy, Foxtrot, Peanuts, Brevity, and Rhymes With Orange. I also loved The Far Side and Matt Groening's Life In Hell.
3. How many of Poorly Drawn Lines' different characters and situations are influenced by people you admire outside of cartooning, such as authors, directors or comedians?
A lot of my work is informed by non-comic artists. Writing actual words is obviously a big part of cartooning, and I think my writing style has been influenced a good amount by some of my favorite authors. For a long time I wanted to write novels and short fiction (I still do), and I try to carry over that same voice into my visual work.
4. What are the advantages of drawing an animal character over a human one for setting up a joke?
In a lot of ways my animal and human characters are basically interchangeable. But sometimes it's funnier to see a hamster having a mental breakdown than a human. I also just really like drawing animals. It lends variety to the comics.
5. Matt Groening has been known to say that in cartooning, the writing should come first, followed by simple visuals to accommodate that writing. Do you agree that too much visual information can degrade a joke?
I definitely feel that way about my own style. Too much background noise or detail can distract from a joke. Ultimately, though, it really depends on the artist. Some cartoonists can draw in an extremely dense and detailed style, but are still hilarious and only benefit from more visual information.
6. With a few exceptions, there are not consistent recurring characters in Poorly Drawn Lines. Do you want to start incorporating them, or does that jeopardize keeping the humor fresh?
I've started introducing more reoccurring characters in the past few months, and I've really enjoyed doing it. I'll never make PDL a character or story-driven comic, but I'm not averse to using a few established characters in different strips. Mainly I want PDL to be accessible to anyone who finds it. I don't want readers to have to familiarize themselves with a character to understand the latest comic. Any one of my comics should be able to stand alone as an individual strip.
7. One of your characters has been adapted into a comedy central show. Can you tell us a bit more about that?
The show is called , and it consists of a bunch of animated shorts written and developed by different artists. It is very funny. A few of my comics have been adapted for the first season, along with a couple of original sketches I wrote. The show was just picked up for a second season, and I'm looking forward to working on it again.
8. What other projects are you working on right now, or hope to start? Where can we find out more about them?
The biggest thing I'm working on right now is trying to get a book published. I want a collection of PDL comics in print form.
9. How do you handle writers block, or any other pressures to produce now that you have a sizable audience?
If I really can't come up with anything, I'll just take my mind off writing for a while and try to do other things. Sometimes I'll doodle in my sketchbook until I accidentally draw something I like, and then try to build a comic off that. As for having an audience, I think it's important to always write what you enjoy and not focus too much on trying to write for other people. My readers are really awesome and supportive anyway, and it only motivates me to create more when I see them enjoying my stuff.
10. If you made what you thought to be perfect comics, would you be okay burning them up or putting them in a place where they would never be seen? How important is getting a reaction from others?
I like knowing that people are going to see my work and react to it in some way. I'm drawing these things to make people laugh, after all. It's definitely fulfilling on a personal level as well, and like I said before it's important not to write too much for other people. But I'm always conscious of the fact that others are seeing my comics, and I definitely do want them to be seen.

Leeward Islands made a steady beginning in their fifth-round match against Windward Islands at Bourda, reaching 254 for 5. They were led by Monticin Hodge's half-century and steady contributions by Kieran Powell and Gavin Williams. Openers Hodge and Mali Richards started slowly, before Richards tried to flick Shane Shillingford down the leg side and gave a catch to the wicketkeeper. He didn't look too pleased with the umpire's verdict, though. Powell walked in and batted briskly as Leewards went to lunch at 63 for 1. Powell continued batting aggressively in the afternoon session but fell two short of his fifty when he holed out to long-on. Hodge, who played the supporting role till then, reached his fifty off 165 balls. He and Williams took the score to 161 for 2 at tea. However, Windwards hit back to take two wickets for six runs, including Hodge for 61 and Williams for 44. Steven Liburd and Omari Banks mixed aggression with defence to take the score to 229 before Liburd failed to pick a fuller delivery from Shillingford, trapped lbw offering no shot.
A five-wicket haul by offspinner Ryan Austin saw Jamaica collapse under lights against Combined Campuses and Colleges at the Guyana National Stadium. Jamaica were well placed at 151 for 1, but wasted the start provided by Danza Hyatt and Donavan Pagon to collapse to 191 for 9. Pagon and Hyatt made good use of a placid pitch and brought up their half-centuries midway through the post-lunch session. Both hit six fours in getting to their respective milestones. But Austin struck in the final over before tea, trapping Hyatt lbw with a quicker delivery. Pagon fell for 80 when he edged to the keeper down the leg side off left-arm spinner Kavesh Kantasingh. Austin then had Nkrumah Bonner trapped lbw and then had Tamar Lambert caught at short leg. David Bernard was then caught at silly point and Austin picked up his fifth wicket when Bevan Brown holed out to deep midwicket. Kantasingh took 3 for 44 as CCC claimed the final session and the day's honours.
Half-centuries by Ryan Hinds, Jason Haynes and Dale Richards put Barbados in a commanding position at 326 for 5 against Guyana at the Albion Sports Complex. Hinds hit 13 fours and a six in his 76 and shared a stand of 126 for the third wicket with Haynes, who hit 69. Richards dominated an opening stand of 76 with Kraigg Braithwaite and hit eight fours. But he fell to a great catch by Brandon Bess running backwards at long-on. Hinds fell to a soft dismissal when he steered Royston Crandon to gully. Guyana then picked up two more wickets after Hinds' dismissal. Christopher Barnwell took two wickets while Zaheer Mohammed, Bess and Devendra Bishoo took a wicket each.

After a week of feeling bleh due to my allergies, I thought it was high time to get back into the swing of things here and get blog posting !
Today I want to share a pattern for a scarf that I designed for my grandson Aiden…which I call the Aiden scarf. (Makes sense huh?) 🙂
First I have to show off Aiden (grandmothers have to do this..you understand !)…he is shown here with his daddy, my son Alex…
And now to the scarf I designed for my sweet baby…………..
This scarf features some very rich texture and the appearance of embedded stripes. The pattern is as follows :
Aiden Scarf – ******48 ½ x 4 ½ (approximately)
G Hook
Yarn used:
Red Heart Super Saver-
MC – Light Sage
CA- Cornmeal
- To reduce the number of ends to weave in, crochet over the tails at the beginning or end of each row.
- This can be made with any yarn and any hook to any size. However I would not recommend bulky yarn as it would lose the embedded striping effect because of the height of the stitches. I also recommend using a small hook (I used a G hook for worsted weight) as to keep the stitches small. This enhances the embedded look of the stripe. If the stitches get too big, you lose the effect. For sport weight yarn or baby yarn, I would try a F hook.
- I tend to crochet tightly so you many not need as many starting chains for length. Length is totally adjustable. You should add a few extra chains on past your desired length as the pattern causes the stitches to shrink up in size a bit
With MC:
FSC (Foundation Single Crochet) 175 or to desired length, plus a few chains. Can be any amount, does not matter for pattern, ch 2.
Row 1 (RS) – Hdc back loop only across. Ch 1, turn
Row 2 – Sc front loop only across. Change to CA. Ch 2, turn
Row 3 – Hdc back loop only across. Change to MC. Ch 1 turn
Row 4 – Sc in both loops across. Ch 2 turn.
Row 5 – Rep. Row 1
Row 6 – Rep Row 2 changing to CB at the end.
Row 7 – Rep Row 3
Row 8 – Rep Row 4
Row 9 – Rep Row 1
Row 10- Rep Row 2, changing to CA at the end
Row 11-Rep Row 3
Row 12 – Rep Row 4
Row 13 – Rep Row 1
Row 14- Rep Row 2
Row 15 – Rep Row 3
Row 16 – Finishing row – sc across, back loop only to end. Do not finish off.
Row 17 – Turn, work 17 sc equally across bottom, one in each row. Fasten off.
Join MC on opposite bottom side, working 17 sc equally across bottom, one in each row. * see notes
Fasten off.
Optional : Cut fringe of desired length and colors and attach to each sc at the bottom. See this link for how to make fringe.
If you want the scarf to be wider, rep pattern rows 1-4 as desired
*In the finishing sc's across the bottom sides- If you add more rows for width, work (number of rows) +1 for the sc number across. Example…if you do 20 rows, work 21 sc across. 24 rows=25 sc across.
And there you have it.
If you have any questions, comments or find any errors (after all I am a human type person 😉 ) please feel free to contact me….

Reality star Kourtney Kardashian plans to refocus her priorities in 2016, making sure she puts herself high on the list.
The 36-year-old has had a tumultuous year after splitting from the father of her three children, Scott Disick, in July (15), but with a new year just around the corner, Kourtney has decided to put some plans in place for 2016.
"I haven't made New Year's resolutions for as long as I can remember," she wrote on her website on Wednesday (30Dec15). "However since I have made a lot of changes this year, writing down my resolutions felt important to do. Here are selections: to continue on the workout mission that I started this year, to continue to strengthen my relationship with Jesus (and) To refocus my priorities, making sure that "me" is high on the list. (children, God, me, family above all else…)"
Kourtney has already started on her list of resolutions, posting a photograph of herself showing off her toned midriff from her home gym on Instagram on Tuesday (29Dec15).
The star seems to have been in a reflective mood over the festive holidays, taking to the social media site on Monday (28Dec15) to share a life-affirming message with her followers.
"Whatever happened over this past year, be thankful for where it brought you," the eldest Kardashian daughter wrote. "Where you are is where you're meant to be."
Her mother Kris Jenner, 60, had previously shared the same message but Kourtney chose to use it alongside her top nine posts of the year.
All of the attached images featured her three children, Mason, six, Penelope, three, and one-year-old Reign, and despite their split, Kourtney still included one sweet snap of Scott cuddling Mason.

I love lists, so I'm excited to dip my toes in the listy fun that is Top Ten Tuesday. This meme is run by The Broke and the Bookish and each week they post a new list for us to complete and share.
Just post your own list, link back to The Broke and the Bookish, and add your link to the linky tool to participate!
Today they're celebrating their blogoversary, so we're all celebrating the Top Ten Reasons I Love Being a Book Blogger/Bookish Person!
1. Sharing my opinion. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it when people listen to and enjoy what I have to say. I love reading comments from people who actually care about what I wrote. Awesome!
2. Meeting new people. Though I don't know any of you personally, I still consider many of you friends. I like having friends in all areas of the country and world, with all different backgrounds. I would never meet you without blogging!
3. Expanding my horizons. I love the exposure book blogging brings for new books. I can follow people who read totally different genres or who have different tastes in characters, plots, and themes. I love the variety.
4. Getting to know authors. The other benefit of online access is chatting with authors as well as book lovers.
5. Being a cheerleader. The best part about ARCs is that I get to be a part of the publicity machine. That is so much fun, especially when I love the book through and through.
6. Book recommendations. I finally have a place to go to get good book recommendations! I used to stumble blindly through libraries and bookstores. Now I know what I'm getting into before I even walk inside.
7. Publishing news. As a blogger, I feel like I have a direct line into book marketing and publicity, so I get the inside scoop on when covers and books are released.
8. The excuse to write. I love putting together blog posts, thinking about what I'm trying to communicate, and reading the finished product. It keeps me working my writing brain even if I'm not working on my fiction.
9. Memes. That said, sometimes I don't want to have to think about what to write. Thank you, memes!
10. The excuse to read. More than anything, I love book blogging because I can read with a purpose. It's not just about learning more about the market, or craft, or even reading for fun. I like that I read now not only to enjoy the book, but so I can talk about if afterward. It's like a fun book club that happens every day!
What do you like about book blogging or being a book fan?

Our frequent inspections were very necessary, because that beautiful, fragrant pale honey from the acacia trees was produced alarmingly quickly by these hyperactive little insects. As the workers are also in charge of developing the drones and a queen bee, there really is not much time for them to fool around. I say that, because as they produce so quickly they realize they're running out of space and prepare to leave in a buzzing, frenetic swarm.
Now that I'm grown up I still shake my head sometimes, thinking of my either incredibly naive or ridiculously vastly trusting parents, as they allowed us to get into scrapes and danger that would have had us removed by CPS these days! But we had a glorious time, just roaming around, and learning as we went.
Every now and again my dad would be too late in inspections and a swarm would take off. Then it was a matter of searching for them. They were usually in a nearby tree. Seems the hive only has room for one queen, so if the workers decide to make another, the weaker one will take off with a whole bunch of attendants.
Bees are very caring with each other. They communicate very distinctly, using their antennae. It's quite fascinating to watch. You can hear whether they're happy in the hive, or agitated. It doesn't take much to get African bees thoroughly annoyed!
Beekeeping in Canada is another story, and deserves to have its own space. On the other hand, you might not be interested, and I like to write on topics you like! We've had the bumble bees, now the African bees, and I don't want you to be bee bored.
Anonymous poll...
Even the children are grateful!
Today the air is clear, the temperatures are down, and the fire is said to be 70% contained. That doesn't mean it is extinguished - just that the firefighters have managed to control the spread. It's impossible not to think of them every day, as planes and helicopters are still flying over.
We are all so grateful to these brave men and women: and thankful too for your kind thoughts and prayers.

Visual images hold amazing power. We can all still "see" the Challenger disaster, the flag rising over Iwo Jima, even our own high school yearbook pictures. The images are still with us today. And so are the emotions that go with them.

thanks Report
ive never taken before/after pictures after weight loss. I don't even think about it actually Report
Great article. I will be re-reading this one! Report
I like to take photos as I lose weight and feel that I look better in certain clothes... that seems to spur me on. Report
I was hoping this article would be a bit more in-depth. My main source of motivation right now, is being able to put on smaller and smaller sizes. I love that! I also like to use Model My Diet to make pictures of what I might look like when I'm slimmer. It really helps me to see the future! Report
Visual cues are important, but I have personally found that a multisensory approach worked best for me. What got me to lose weight was a song that evoked a memory which in turn triggered some powerful emotions. For my visual reference, my husband's "pinup girls" in the "man cave" where I keep my exercise equipment reminded me of what I used to look like when I was young, fit, and healthy, and inspired me to keep pushing myself. Lastly, working out helps me feel myself becoming stronger and fitter, which keeps me motivated. Report
Awesome article! Report
Gotta try this Report
I used negative images on my frig needless to say that didn't work. I will try positive images this time. Report
Trouble with visuals, after awhile, you really don't pay attention anymore, useful at first though...just like reading cutesy quotes, after awhile they don't register at all. You need to look inward, and that gets tiresome.... Report
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to write everything down and gather some photos. Great article! Report
Thanks for drawing my attention back to the visual messages about health that are near my computer. I have a jeweled wire note card stand with an affirmation about well-being. There is also a watercolor miniature of a radiant being above the affirmation. It got moved out of the way recently. Now it is close to computer where I easily see it. Report

Highly recomend these for any one experienceing any type of break angle issue on a flamenco guitar. My 1986 Conde Hermanos Media Luna (Felipe V ) had the high E, B and D string holes quite worn, offering hardly any break angle or optimum tone.They have made the world of difference, by placing the string break angle at its optimum point. Also prevents further wear of tie block holes.
Although not readily available where i live. Two sources i have ordered from are the Felipe Conde shop and Strings By Mail.
The only other option or solution would be to replace or fill the tie block and holes. Unless i take the guitar to Madrid to get this work done ( it is my dream guitar, the best i have owned, one ill never part with ) …so getting the work done here just doesnt feel like an option…
The added bonus of optimum tension point on the saddle is quite a revelation..

Henry Hugh Armstead designed the cartoons for the Nativity scene that Salviati executed in mosaics for the central panel of the reredos.
The interior in 1899.
The red stone that was used to build the church made it prone to deterioration, so it was finally demolished in 1968. In late 2012, the corner of Market and Pimlico Streets was the site of a Blockbusters video store. The fate of the mosaic reredos is unknown. It may have been moved to another church nearby.

A Sign of Hope as we Face the Biggest Question
I also received in the post recently a copy of a DVD and accompanying group leaders' manual on the subject "The Biggest Question" about why a God of love allows suffering. It features interviews with many folk with powerful stories to tell. You can see part of it here.
If you would like to see more, or order a copy of the DVD and/or the notes, especially for a small group you may be part of, you can find out more at www.focus.org.uk. I do hope you might find it helpful, and as my strength allows, I would be pleased to hear from you by email as we all struggle with this biggest question of all.

Another section of the exhibitions i have looked into is the actual exhibits itself and how an exhibition is laid out for the space and how an individual would walk around and see the exhibition. This isnt an area that i want to concentrate on for the project, but i do want to propose some of the artwork in which would be present within the exhibition, so researching into this is relavant and will provide me with the needed knowledge which may help me propose some of the content for the exhibition.
The images here show a wide collection of exhibition spaces and ways that the information within the exhibitions can be displayed. I want the exhibition to be very engaging and interactive to catch the attention of the teenagers and make them want to get involved with the exhibition, to achieve this i think i need to provide bold and simple graphics which explain the content of the exhibition well. The use of interactivity can play to my advantage by using computers, sound and vision within the exhibition, this would be a great way to inform the audience about the content and be something which will engage them too. The research that i have taken out shows alot of simple and bold exhibition spaces, i would want to mimic this and create a exhibition that has a lot of colour and simplistic artwork to inform the audience.

This year the Kennett Consolidated School District was recognized by the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) for its excellence in print media. The 2016 NSPRA Publications and Electronic Media Awards recognize outstanding education publications and marketing/informational materials (print and electronic), video/TV/radio programs, social media and websites.
School districts nationwide were invited to submit at least two editions of their district newsletter. According to NSPRA's web site, entries were judged according to the size of the school district, so publications competed only against those from similar organizations. There were 965 entries in this year's contest. The Kennett Consolidated School District was one of 147 school districts to receive the Award of Honorable Mention.

As details of state Sen. Leland Yee's alleged crimes trickled out, advocates associated with gun-rights groups jumped on the possible ironies.
An affidavit filed in federal court in San Francisco by FBI Special Agent Emmanuel V. Pascua said there was probable cause to believe that Yee had conducted various crimes, such as engaging in a conspiracy to deal firearms without a license and illegally import firearms.
Yet Yee, a prominent figure in California's Democratic legislative majority, had crusaded against guns and violent video games for years.
The criminal complaint revealed Wednesday stated that Yee sought donations in return for connecting an Italian gangster from New Jersey with an international arms dealer. The gangster was actually an undercover federal agent, the complaint said.

I wake up every cold horrible morning hoping that I'm on Castaway Cay...but alas, here I am in New Jersey suffering. Time to countdown to next January when I can get back to the beach at Serenity Bay. Sigh.

WIP Wednesday {7.20.11}
Skill Builder Sampler - challenge block and block 4
I love this QAL! The colors I am using just make me happy and I love all the different blocks. My challenge block is log cabins making a cross (I have seen these all over and love them and wanted to try it). I even managed to keep my directional prints the right way! I love it and figure if nothing else, I will use it on the back.
Block 4 is pinwheels and although I wasn't sure I would like it that much, I love it now that it's done. I also think I found the perfect sashing for this quilt so I need to figure out how much of that I need and order it even though I won't need it for a long time.
Summer Sampler Series - blocks 1-3
Star of Virginia, Greek Cross and Mosaic Block. I am loving the way these summery colors are coming together.
Table Covering
Is it a table cloth if it doesn't hang over the sides? Either way, I made this out of an Amy Butler laminate and bound it with some olive green pre-made binding. I love how it looks, the problem is that it is not washable really aside from a wipe down, and my kid is messy. Really messy. So we'll see how long it lasts. It already looks kinda nasty around the binding.....
Still Going:
Christmas in July
I am in the last stage of sewing down the binding. One more good movie and it should be done, maybe tonight. I got a little distracted by a book the past few days which is why it's not done....
I haven't worked on it and don't plan to for another couple weeks once the summer sampler is done.
Farmers Wife QAL
Rainbow style! I finally have the templates cut out (it was a pretty big undertaking and used far too many naptimes)! I plan to start today and hopefully do the first couple of blocks. My fabrics are all washed and ready to go and I am sooo excited. I decided I am going to go in order that the blocks are with the letters instead of just going in numerical order. It should be interesting. I am a little scared by the templates and how small some of these pieces are going to get, but hopefully it will go well.
Summer Sampler
The 4th block was posted Monday and the 5th today. I may just wait until the end of the week and do all 3 together again. I kinda liked it that way and it helps me balance the colors I think.
That's it I think. I do feel better! All those individual blocks remind me that I was actually pretty productive (and those stinking templates sucked up a lot of time). I am just working on a lot of quilting things right now before I dive back into some things I need to make for the little one and the house and such. At least those other things usually go a lot quicker so I feel more productive; it helps me get through the more long term projects.

I'm coming over to your house to steal that pile of bright fabrics, they look great!ReplyDelete
I like the rainbow fabrics for the FWQAL. That's going to look really good! The table covering is a great idea. I need to make my daughter some kind of semi-permanent placemat I can just wipe down rather than have to wash...she's a total mess too!ReplyDelete
Hi Cassie, I popped over from freshly pieced and have enjoyed my visit to your blog, you have made lots of lovely things!ReplyDelete
Love that stack of rainbow fabrics for your Farmers Wife!ReplyDelete
Fun fabrics for the Summer Sampler. Too bad about the grunginess on the table binding - (Is laminate washable?) because it's pretty.ReplyDelete
I love your rainbow stack for the Farmer's Wife quilt. I bet it will be lovely, can't wait to see you start on it.ReplyDelete
your rainbow fabrics for the fwqal look splendid. i've figured out rotary cutting instructions for about 1/2 of the blocks and found a file for rotary cutting the other half. those templates just didn't work for me. best to you :)ReplyDelete
Great progress on a lot of projects! I love your fabric choices on all of them. I gave up on the FWQAL until I figure out how to paper piece as I figured out 4 blocks in that the tiny pieces and my machine were NOT friends.ReplyDelete
Ooh! A rainbow FW! Can't wait to see it! Love the table top too! And your blocks are coming along great!ReplyDelete
Love that stack of fabric!ReplyDelete

Your mother's hot temper (or calm, rational way of handling things) is something that's passed down to you as well as learned. Your temperament is affected by both nature, your DNA makeup, and nurture, your personal experiences. But new studies indicate that genetics may play a larger role in determining how you will behave in certain situations than we once thought.
For example, researchers found that for those suffering from depression, roughly 50 percent of the cause is genetic and the corresponding 50 percent is the result of psychological and/or physical factors. On a broader spectrum, these same scientists also found that DNA differences account for anywhere from 20 to 60 percent of temperament deviations within a given population. While that's a wide range, the median fell somewhere in the middle, indicating that the average nature-nurture ratio is 50-50.
However, individuals who carry a specific type of allele, or alternative form of a gene, are far more likely to be angry than those without this allele, according to a German study published in the Journal Behavioural Brain Research. Combine a genetic predisposition with parents who screamed and fought in front of you as a kid, and chances are that you'll exhibit this behavior, too.
So if you recognize some of the symptoms of irrational anger or depression, talk to your parents about what their triggers are, and if it becomes really serious, try contacting a trained professional and consider behavioral therapy.

An underground website, Silk Road, reportedly traffics between $30-45 million in drugs from pot to LSD each year. Given the nature of the business, the guy in charge is pretty hard to pin down.
He goes by Dread Pirate Roberts, a pseudonym that may ring a bell to "Princess Bride" fans. His two-and-a-half-year-old site has managed to operate under the noses of the DEA and FBI.
One reason it's been hard to shut down is because it's run on Tor, a type of open source software that protects the user against surveillance. To access Silk Road, users have to write a piece of Tor software and they can only buy drugs using the crypto currency called Bitcoin, a digital currency that's not controlled by any banks or any governments.
"That means that it doesn't have to necessarily tie to your identity, as a result it can be very difficult to trace the transactions," said Andy Greenberg, a technology writer for Forbes magazine, who recently scored a rare interview with Roberts. "You can privately and securely make these purchases of even very large amounts of highly illegal drugs."
But how is this possible, and why haven't authorities been able to shut the website down yet? Greenberg says its because of the effectiveness of the Tor anonymity software and the triple-encrypted communication that it uses.
"I am sure the drug enforcement agency would love to locate the servers who run the Silk Road, or better yet the people who are behind it," said Greenberg. "Tor is a complex tool that triple encrypts web traffic and then bounces it around to different computers around the world. It can be very difficult to trace those communications and to find the source…It's possible that the NSA could, but it doesn't seem that the FBI or DEA has been able to."
Roberts's motivation is monetary, but he is also motivated by a political stance. According to Greenberg, Roberts considers himself a radical free market libertarian and he hosts a forum site where he posts political manifestos. Users see him as a sort of Che Guevara figure and a hero.
"It is largely this idea of creating a free market that is not even the most powerful government in the world can regulate or enforce its laws upon," said Greenberg.
Another reason the site has been so successful is Roberts's diligence when it comes to clouding his true identity. Greenberg spent eight months communicating with Roberts via the website trying to convince him to open up to an interview. Even though he eventually broke through, Roberts still withheld even the simplest facts, like his nationality, age, and whether or not he was in the U.S.
Greenberg says he thinks the recent appearance of competitor sites, such as Atlantis, have pushed Roberts to dip his toe into the spotlight.
"They have a marketing team that created a YouTube video ad, that's the kind of thing that Silk Road has never dared to do until now," said Greenberg. "I think that the Dread Pirate Roberts is realizing that he needs to have a public persona as well to compete with these newcomers."

Online labyrinth
This is an online translation of the Labyrinth. The original is described as 'an interactive installation for spiritual journeys'. It consists of a pathway mapped out on the floor for visitors to follow. During this journey participants pause and listen to a piece of music and a meditation. They also undertake some symbolic action or ritual.
With this online version the pieces of music are the same but the actions and activities have been translated to suit the medium.
Before proceeding please read the following safety instructions.
The Online Labyrinth has been created in 11 separate pieces just like the original. You are advised to proceed in order as each piece relates to the next, and if time allows complete the labyrinth in one go. This could take 40 minutes.
Download times have been kept to a minimum. All the pieces stream into your computer and to keep waiting down to a minimum you will be able to begin before the whole piece has loaded. If you experience a pause in sound or animation please wait as more media loads.
