Ordinarily I wouldn't consider such things however this was 1989, my mates and I were young, daring and stupid in equal parts. Our fringes were long and our cognitive capacities were still developing and I had my first car, a 1967 Mini. It was a good time to be alive.
My little Mini was an amazing car, it cost me $200 and I could do anything to it and it would always forgive me and keep on going, it was a little trooper. Nicknamed 'Morrissey' by a mate, Andy, that little car ferried us everywhere and opened up freedoms we had only dared dream about.
|Morrissey! Well, this is what he looked like, maybe not quite as shiny.
It was a normal night and we were minding our own business, cruising along the Gold Coast Highway just north of Surfers Paradise when one of my mates, known as Cookie, decides his pants have been on for far too long. There was a lot of snickering going on in the back seat so I glanced in the rear-view mirror and notice Cookie, awkwardly poised on the back seat with his bare bum pointed towards the back window.
"Cookie!" I shouted, "Put your bloody bum away!" Meanwhile Big Dame and Little Dame are scrambling to get as far away from the protruding posterior as possible when I notice a hotted up Commodore packed to bursting with angry looking blokes looming large in my mirrors. Surprisingly they hadn't taken kindly to Cookie's greeting. The chase was on.
I slammed the Mini into second gear and took off like a bat out of hell but the Commodore kept up easily. Knowing I could never outrun it I had no choice but to attempt to out-manoeuvre it instead. The corners came and went in a flash, left, right, left and left again, it was as if I was channelling Bo Duke driving the General Lee. My strategy was buying us some valuable space but poor Cookie was bouncing around the back trying desperately to get his pants back on; without much success and much to the two Dames' annoyance and amusement. Andy was in the front shouting out directions as well as acting as spotter. Everybody was laughing nervously, eyes dancing about skittishly and my mind was trying to think three moves ahead.
|The General Lee, it was in Morrissey's veins that night.
We were in the back streets of Broadbeach when I spotted a small roundabout, I knew this was my chance so I headed straight for it, slowing down so the Commodore would be right on my tail as I entered. "What are you doing Scotto?!" the boys shouted but I didn't hear them, I was completely focussed and I knew the Mini would fare much better on the roundabout than the lumbering hulk.
|What I imagine it might have looked like from the Commodore.
And Cookie finally had his pants back on.
As for the speed bump? Well, that's a story for another day.
What car based adventures have you had?

There are lists and then there are lists. The former is full of entertaining fluff. Like kittens who sing and memes of The Rock. The later, what we're talking about here, is the kind of stuff that can save your life.
Think about your car. More specifically, the kind of stuff you have thrown around the glove box, back seat and trunk. Maybe some discarded pumpkin latte cups, sweatshirts and cereal from your kid's lunchbox. But is there anything there that can really help you? If you're anything like most people, there probably isn't. A recent article by CNN shared that approximately 19 percent of people are prepared for an emergency or disaster situation in their lives. In your car? That can amount to some pretty traumatic stuff. Take, for example, a car accident.
This year alone, 1.3 million people will die in a car crash.. That breaks down to over 3,200 people every day. How many of these deaths were preventable? Our mother once told us, "You can't control the other people on the road, you can only be responsible for yourself." Ok, mom. We hear you. So, how do we be responsible? One major way is to be sure we are fully prepared for a car accident.
Here is a list of one dozen things that need to be in your car right now. We recommend tucking all of these items in a bag and stashing it in your back seat; the smallest items can even fit in your glove box! Why not the trunk? In a matter of seconds, can you reach the trunk from the inside of your car? Keep items close at hand to assure you can grab them when needed. These things can either save your life, or make the trauma and immediate aftermath of a major car accident a lot easier and safer.
Check Out The Twelve Items You Need
Stock up, and you might just end up saving your life, someone you care about, or maybe you'll save a perfect stranger.
What Is It: A small hammer-like object that breaks your windows and windshield.
There are numerous reasons you'd need to smash the windows in order to escape your car. A violent car accident could, for example,
- render your door useless;
- push you into a body of water;
- set your car on fire; or
- wedge your vehicle between objects.
When you gotta get out, you gotta get out FAST. That's where this device comes in handy. It will smash through and obliterate your window in seconds, allowing you to escape your drowning, burning or wedged car with lightning speed. When every second counts, this is your go-to life saver.
What Is It: A hardcore tow strap that can help get your car, and you, out of a number of sticky situations.
If your vehicle has been pushed off the road — maybe it's stuck in a ditch, sand, dirt, a shallow body of water or even snow — you'll need help getting it back on track. We're always an advocate of calling 911 for emergency assistance, but what if a four-wheel-drive vehicle comes by and offers a hand? You'll be prepared!
What Is It: A waterproof, double-lined poncho blanket that traps heat and keeps cold out, invented by the U.S. military during the Vietnam war.
This. Blanket. Will. Save. Lives. You may be a soccer mom or suburban dad, but deep inside you'll be G.I Jane or Rambo with this wicked amazing blanket/pillow/shelter/hammock/seat cushion/mattress. Still not getting the picture? It's winter. Your car gets up close and personal with a deer and skids off the road into a tree. You don't have a cell phone on you, and your kid is crying in the back. It could be hours before help comes, and it's cold (no, really cold) out. Your Woobie (that's what they call it) will keep you and your baby warm and comfortable till help comes.

What Is It: All your first aid essentials in one handy, portable kit.
Do you really need us to tell you why you need one of these things? Just get one. Stick it in the trunk. It's the right thing to do.
Link: http://www.redcross.org/prepare/location/home-family/get-kit/anatomy
What Is It: Breaks your windows and cuts your safety belt lickity-split.
A younger (but certainly not less powerful) brother to the ResQHammer, this tool can release you from being trapped by your seat belt and get you out of your car in seconds. You car is sinking, on fire, or maybe someone else in your vehicle is trapped? Use this bad boy to get them out safely while you wait for emergency services to come.
What Is It: If MacGyver was a tool for rescue and survival, he would be this. Nuff' said.
Knife. Belt cutter. Window punch. Stainless steel blade. LED light. Men's Health, Miliary.com, the Today Show, Police Magazine and Outdoor Life have all featured this versatile tool. Keep this in your glove box for any of a dozen reasons you don't want to think about.
What Is It: A flashlight and set of matches.
You never know when you're going to be trapped in the dark and need either of these.
We suggest a flashlight and extra set of batteries and a box of water-resistant matches.
What It Is: Money.
It's not glamorous but it could come in really handy. We suggest having a few hundred dollars – broken down into both large and small bills- inside a waterproof baggie tucked somewhere really secret and safe inside your car. Not the glove box. Not under the seat. Somewhere a casual guest or valet guy won't find it. But, if you should be trapped and stuck with no money on hand— you've got it as a backup.
What Is It: We know it's been a hot second since you relied on anything other than your phone GPS, Siri or Waze for directions, but what happens if you get in a wreck, can walk fine but have no cell phone? Or cell service? Or your phone dies? Welcome to The Map. Helping guide lost people to safety for hundreds and thousands of years… or at least walking to the next town nearby for assistance.
What Is It: Beef jerky, hard candy and other nonperishables and water.
We're not talking about snack food here for the sake of having the munchies. We're talking about food that will keep you going if you're stranded. Or something to help with your blood sugar if you're diabetic or feeling faint. We suggest beef jerky, nutrient-rich granola bars, hard candy or dehydrated meals. Plus, keep a gallon or two of water on hand for drinking and sanitary needs.
What Is It: A hand-crank charger with a USB port or one of those "earthquake is coming-sized" portable phone chargers.
We file this under the What If Help Takes A Long Time To Come category. You never know when you're on the side of the road what kind of communication access you will have. Sometimes, the difference between life and death can be the ability to notify emergency services or loved ones as fast as possible!
What Is It: The stuff you use in the bathroom.
Ok. While a roll of TP might not save your life, it may save your dignity. If you're stuck on the road waiting for emergency services, have a nervous stomach in stressful situations or just find nature calling you at the wrong place and wrong time, this will hook you up.
A final item that just makes good sense to prepare for the unexpected is a full car accident checklist that can help take the guesswork out of a stressful situation and walk you through essential next steps.

great blog Adds. Our Ezee kit has gone astray but is due to be redelivered tomorrow so hopefully I will get it installed over the weekend following your footsteps. I really liked the power of the engoine (sorry...motor when I took her for a spin and reckon the option of pedal assist or throttle is definately the way to go. Looking forward to a gathering of the Electric Excentrics soon.ReplyDelete

Thanks Tim. Looking forward to it too, it should be fun. Your Xtracycle will fly along since it would have to weigh half the Fr8. The throttle is good for some situations (eg cornering, crossings and traffic lights) but I think it really chews the juice so I tend not to use it much.Delete

Hi, just wondering how your bike is going - and how you've found the eZee motor? I am looking at doing this same conversion. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hi Anneke, the bike is going great. After doing 5,000kms in 4 years the battery died. We replaced it with a lithium polymer which has better range and power ($400). We also replaced the gear set and clutch a while ago when it wore out ($150 inc fitting). Overall I'm very impressed with the Ezee kit and would recommend it. Good luck with the conversion, any probs feel free to contact us. Cheers, AdamReplyDelete

I wasn't expecting this one…
What does it all mean?…it's anybody's guess. Those who think Bart was a true patriot fighting for the little guy will be saddened and those who think Bart was a bought and paid for shill for the banks implanted to provide cover…should be shaking in their boots!
Why? Because this may be signaling something more ominous coming down the line.
I will analyze this more in this weeks Friday Road Trip but for now let's all wave goodbye to someone who risked a lot to voice his opinion on the obvious gold/silver market rigging.
Bravo Bart and welcome back to reality and come fight for OUR cause! (….or best of luck getting a high paid job as a Bankster Lobbyist!)
I guess we'll know where he stood when he lands his next job 🙂
May the Road BART chooses be the Right Road.

Pipe cleaner crafts for kids
For rainy days, it's always good to have a few creative kids' crafts up your sleeve. Making pipe cleaner animals is a great example. It's simple to do and kids can have hours of fun playing with their new animal friends after. Try these crafts with pipe cleaners next time the British weather is being "unpredictable"!
To make these easy pipe cleaner crafts you'll need:
- Pipe cleaners
- Marker pens
- Googly eyes or beads
- Glue (click here for help with glue stain removal)
- Sticky tape
- Paper
- Wooden lolly sticks
- Small pompoms
- Scissors (upgrade to zig-zag scissors if you fancy making something a little different)
Remember: when making pipe cleaner crafts for kids, you should always keep an eye on your kids, especially when handling craft materials like glue, scissors, and small beads. We recommend this craft as suitable for children aged 3 years +.
How to make pipe cleaner animals for kids
Here are three easy pipe cleaner crafts for kids that you can try out at home:
- Paint a lolly stick green and allow to dry
- Starting from the middle of the lolly stick, wind a green pipe cleaner around it until you're about a quarter away from the end, stop and bend the remaining pipe cleaner to make legs and feet. Trim the pipe cleaner with scissors if necessary
- Repeat on the other end of the stick
- Cut some teeth out of white paper using scissors (zig-zag scissors will pre-cut the pattern for you) and stick them to the bottom of the lolly stick. Then glue some googly eyes or black beads to the top of the lolly stick, draw on some nostrils with a marker, and your crocodile is complete!
- Create the body of your tiger by coiling a pipe cleaner around a pen. Leave a little bit of the pipe cleaner straight at each end
- Draw a tiger's head on a piece of paper, you could let your child do this, or do this yourself and let them colour it in. Cut out the head and secure to the straight end of the coiled pipe cleaner at the front of the body
- At the back end of the body, bend the pipe cleaner to create a tail
- Cut two short pieces off of another pipe cleaner – these will be the legs. Wrap one piece around the bottom of the spiral at the front and one around the back. Make sure there is equal amount of leg on each side and fold the tips of each leg to create feet so your tiger can stand up.
- Tightly wrap a pipe cleaner around a marker pen to make the bunny's body and bend another pipe cleaner into a M shape to create your bunny's ears
- Remove the pen – you should be left with a spiral shaped pipe cleaner. Thread the M shape through the middle of the spiral so that the ear shape is visible at the top of the spiral body
- Fold the bottom of the M shaped pipe cleaner into little feet so that your bunny will be able to stand up. Then adjust the ears so they stand upright
- Glue on two googly eyes, and attach some small pompoms for a nose and a tail.
Get creative with pipe cleaner animals
Once you've got the hang of creating a basic spiral shaped animal body, you can make just about any animal. For example, swap the legs for antenna on the tiger to make a caterpillar. Make a whole jungle or forest of pipe cleaner animals and let your kids' imaginations run wild as they have fun playing make-believe!
Pipe cleaner animals for kids also make great gifts for friends and relatives. You could attach a key chain or a safety pin to your animal to make a funky keyring or badge, or glue a magnet to the back to create a 3D fridge magnet.
Did you have fun making these crafts for kids with pipe cleaners? What animals can your kids make out of pipe cleaners? We'd love to hear from you in a comment below. Looking for more rainy day craft inspiration? Why not try making animals out of recycled toilet rolls, a crown out of a paper plate, or fairy wings using an old cardboard box?

ACORN Prosecutions Coast to Coast
If an organization that is funded largely by George Soros, Herb and Marion Sandler, and a variety of other foundations (often established by conservative businessmen and which now are totally controlled by left-oriented administrators like Ford and Annenberg) tells you it does serious journalistic investigation in the public interest and calls itself the Center for Public Integrity, I suggest you take their offerings with a boulder of salt.
Last year at this time, it was evident to every open-minded person that ACORN was engaged in widespread voter registration fraud under the cover of helping 1.7 million unregistered (and given the ease of registration, apparently disinterested) citizens to vote.
Pajamas Media carried a detailed piece describing what was then publicly reported about the scheme to undermine fair elections. Four days later the Center for Public Integrity (CFPI) published an apologia for ACORN.
Unfortunately for the CFPI, the report highlighted the charges against the group's registration efforts in Nevada, suggesting that it had no choice but to turn in registrations that it suspected were in error:
In Nevada, state investigators raided ACORN's office last week. Bob Walsh, a public information officer for the Nevada secretary of state, pointed out that the group has not been charged with anything. So far all the secretary of state's office has done is execute a search warrant. Officials there are currently looking through ACORN's records.
Walsh also said that ACORN should definitely have turned in the forms, even if they were false and ACORN knew they were false. In a state like Nevada, the law for third-party registration groups is particularly complicated. These groups must sign up with the secretary of state, who keeps track of the unique identifier of each registration form distributed to them. The voter registration organization is required to return every form it takes, whether completed or blank. That's why ACORN submits registrations that anyone could tell are probably a big fat joke.
But Nevada's law also forbids "knowingly falsifying an application to register to vote." Ostensibly that's why the secretary of state is looking into ACORN's records to begin with: The group turned in obviously false registration forms. But that's a separate part of the law and does not change ACORN's obligation to turn in all the forms. In short, it's not clear that in Nevada ACORN was wrong to turn in the forms; indeed, it appears the group was trying to follow the law.
This week, almost a year later, it turns out that the investigative effort of the organization overlooked what ACORN's critics and Nevada law enforcement authorities did not: the entire ACORN voter operation in that state was designed to defraud Nevada's voters of their right to an honest election.
The former Las Vegas director of ACORN, Charles Edwards, pleaded guilty to violations of state law in compensating ACORN workers under a quota system laughably mislabeled "performance standards."
For ACORN, this trial may cost the group its tax exempt status in Nevada, and that can only add to the well-deserved troubles of this criminal operation.
Until now, prosecutions for voter registration fraud have focused on ACORN workers, and authorities have secured guilty pleas from several who admitted to falsifying voter registration forms.
But when investigators from Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller's office raided the ACORN Las Vegas office, Ross says they found a paper trail that implicated the ACORN organization itself.
"We came across policy manuals that outline their policy of creating a quota system, which is against the law," Miller told FOX News in an interview. "This, in fact, was something that was widespread and something the organization itself knew about, and it's important to hold the organization criminally accountable as opposed to the individual field directors." ...
But prosecutors say ACORN paid a $5 bonus per day to workers who would sign up 21 or more voters per shift, hence the name "21" or "Blackjack," an alleged quota system that Ross says is the first step toward corrupting the democratic system.
"These charges strike at the heart of having integrity of the electoral process. That's something that is important in Nevada and the entire country.

In 1968 Scholastic published Shake Arms With Shakespeare by Albert Culum wherein eight plays were rendered in very straight ahead wording and every about an hour lengthy. This was an excellent for very younger readers, reluctant readers and a method to introduce the tales.

Family Favorite Recipes
Hot Fruited Tea
Charleen Dew, of Springfield, TN, has a special affinity for tea, so she tries all kinds. "This is one of my favorites," she says.
- 1 whole orange
- 10 cups water
- 4 regular teabags
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp. whole cloves
- 2 cans (12 oz. each) frozen juice beverage concentrate (preferably raspberry, strawberry, or cranberry)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- Orange slices to serve
Peel whole orange in one continuous strip, set peel aside, and save orange meat for another use. Place water, teabags, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange peel in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain tea into a Dutch oven, discard tea bags, spices, and orange peel. Add frozen beverage concentrate and brown sugar, stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and tea is hot.
Serve with orange slices. May be served hot or cold.

Users of the popular Slack business messaging service can now start a Skype call from within any of Slack's clients. This is thanks to a new integration that links the text-based Slack into the voice-and-video-centric Skype from Microsoft.
In order to enable this preview, Slack users can go to the Skype integration page and click on the Add to Slack button, which will add Slack integration to a selected channel. Microsoft says:
"Once the Skype integration has been configured, anyone on the Slack team can start a Skype call from a computer. Just type "/skype" into the chat and when the call is set up, a join link will appear. Whether your team members use Slack on the web, Windows, Mac, iOS or Android, you'll receive a Slack notification that a Skype call has started, so no one will ever miss a call again. Whenever you want to start a new call, just type "/skype" into the chat again which will set up a new call for others to join."
Slack users can join a Skype call over the web as a guest, even if they don't already have a Skype account. As this Slack integration posts a link to a Skype call in a channel, this will probably be most useful in channels with a smaller number of users — as anybody that's been on a call with several people can attest, it gets noisy and difficult to manage rather quickly. This feature is being put forward as a preview, so it's possible users may encounter bugs or glitches in the process.
Interestingly, this comes nearly a year after Slack's acquisition of Screenhero, a company that specialized in voice chat and screen sharing for teams. Slack said at the time that they planned to integrate Screenhero's tech into the Slack platform, but so far we've yet to see the fruits of that union.

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it. --Frank Zappa
Which, I suppose, would make people like Mari Lynn Patrick artistes.
I make neither art nor craft. I make shit to wear. That's it, sum total.
You might say the X-Men are artists because they make nothing out of something.
It's all arguable. Just don't do it here.
Skank Shrugs and Other Useless Items
After flipping through the endless shrugs in Interweave Knits, I had a sudden epiphany as to what their genesis is--bedjackets.
Who among us remembers lying in bed as a child, sick with measles, and wearing a pink sateen quilted bedjacket with ribbon ties that inevitably fell off your shoulders?
My aunt and grandmother loved pink. No doubt the bedjacket came from them. These shrugs have about the same appeal. Something to wear if you're sick. And frankly, I'd go for a shawl anyways.
I predict that the next useless knitted/crocheted rage will be snoods. If you don't know what those are, you are most certainly younger than I. You probably are, most likely.
I cry out in the wilderness to knitting magazine editors: Stop with the crappy shrugs, ponchos, bikinis, stuffed animals, felted anything. You've been alienating your other readership far too long. The HYUKs will move on. The rest of us will still be knitting worthwhile projects. You owe it to your HYUK readership to teach them, not to lull them.
I'm done now.
Slainte, Part IIIa
The ribbing is almost done. Got the camera back but I'm not taking any pictures until I have at least one full repeat. Not worth it otherwise. I'm just doing a simple twisted rib--nothing fancy.
Other Shit Going On
I've been busy getting the townhouse decluttered because I'm selling it. It goes on the market tomorrow. Financials indicate I must do this, although I've managed to get myself a temp gig at John's company until something better comes along. This has been a tough three years, no doubt about it. However, for some bizarre reason, I've been totally optimistic and not at all down about my reversal of fortunes. So please don't pity-party me. I have John, family and friends and plenty of yarn. And Carol sent me some paperbacks to read--thanks, C!
I don't generally like to use the blog to whine about my personal life too much. Because A) I can't imagine anything more boring and B) there's always someone else out there who has it worse. And, it's spring. That pretty much helps any woes go away.
I call my problems Horatio. As in Lord Nelson.
Joe and I generally agree on most everything and I'm always inspired by his blog. I like the opinion he has about lefthandedness and knitting. When my mother taught me how to knit, she never even considered my being lefthanded. I learned to knit, period. This whole business about mirror-knitting is absurd. I've taught plenty of people to knit and I'm sure some of them were lefthanded but I never bothered to ask.
Well, I'm off to the local greenhouse to spiff up the place with hanging baskets. If you are ever up in my area of Warren County, NJ, make an effort to hit some of the commercial plant growers who are open to the public, like Godalewski's. Great plants, great prices.
Apartment living may be a rare and handy thing. Maybe. But I need a deck or balcony for outside knitting.

Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. --Jeff Raskin
I'm complaining. The expensive Dell laptop has fried itself. The hard drive is no more. It has ceased to be. It has gone to meet its Maker. It's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! This is an EX-HARD DRIVE.
So I'm working on my old IBM Thinkpad down in the rec room, which is slow but at least functioning.
Road Trip
Mammy and I went off to our local yarn shop yesterday for a boredom buster. She was looking to buy some Spring Garden, I needed markers.
I like to patronize yarn shops, even though I occasionally order online. Selling yarn is a tough business and I really prefer handing over my ducats to a live person who I know. Besides, there's always the gossip, the fiber handling, plus the yarn shop owner frequently has access to info that you might not see online. For example, yesterday I saw the preview pictures of the forthcoming Simply Shetland book.
I have to say, based on a quick scan of the pictures, that the new SS is nowhere as good as the previous editions. There is one beautiful Fair Isle and another one done in unfortunate baby-blue shades. A nice men's cabled sweater. The rest of the garments were totally forgettable. I'll buy it, simply because I have the others and I did like the Fair Isle.
Interesting to find out that the owner thinks the frou-frou scarf craze is dying out, at least around here. She's not selling the same quantities of crap that she had been.
The Summer Mags
All lousy. That's my take. Not worth dissecting. Or buying, although I did buy IK because I like the layout and the articles, usually. And I don't generally knit cotton either. However, a nice pima is always OK.
Up in Flames
Thanks to reader Cynthia9292 for the info on the recall of Fizz and Fur Out due to flammability(see previous entry's Comments). When you think about it, all synthetics are fire hazards. All the more reason to knit kids' sweaters and blankies in superwash wool rather than acrylic. Plastic melts, you know?
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I've written down what looks appealing and I'll be off to the library.
Slainte, Part II
Well, still no camera. However, my rare and handy daughter Corinne managed to win herself a Canon digital camera yesterday in a contest on Z100. That kid wins more shit--concert tickets, ski trip. Sheesh. So no pictures until Liz is finished her science fair project. However, I now have the motif placements and stitch count done, so I'm close to starting. Much scribbling on paper and going back and forth between different motifs. It's a matter of choosing motifs that will compliment each other, whose row counts work together, and that will be the right width.
I like to choose motifs where the action happens in concert. For example, I start with the main motif, which is 24 rows. I then pick other motifs whose row counts are factors of 24 i.e., 12, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2. When knitting, this makes it a bit easier to keep track with one row counter. Of course, sometimes this isn't possible, particularly if I like a motif whose row count doesn't fit but is harmonious. Really, designing an Aran is like conducting a symphony.
So now that I have my medium-size markers (all I had were small, believe it or not), I'm ready to go.
And the weather is so rare and handy, I believe I'll be out on the deck shortly.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.--Carl Jung
Yes, indeed. The seesaw of Aran knitting. The sandbox of swatching. The scraped knee of ripping out.
Slainte, Part I
A shot of Jameson's is definitely in order before starting an Aran design, that's for sure. So I've started swatching for this sweater but not in the way you might think.
I sort of subscribe to EZ's method, which is to figure out what motifs you want, arrange them, and then work a large swatch to get the gauge, turning it into a hat at the end. My method is similar; however, I begin with a swatch that incorporates all of what I call "throw-away" stitches: seed stitch, moss stitch, double moss, and reverse stockinette.
My Aran has two sections--the central panel, which is composed of one main motif and then x number of motifs on each side, and the side "throwaway" panel. In order to leave the central panel intact and undisturbed during armhole decreases, I use one of the throwaway stitch patterns to frame the panel and complete what I need for the piece. So I will do the throw-away stitch swatch and then after I've arranged my motifs, I will do a swatch for the panel. This applies to the front/back only. I'll explain the sleeve later.
It's really a guessing game with the front panel as to how many stitches will work. The motifs to either side of the main one have to be interesting enough to be enjoyable to work, yet not so distinctive (or too wide) as to unbalance the panel. Plus, you have any number of "divider" stitches that delineate each motif.
Once I know what the width of the main panel is, I then calculate the number of throwaway stitches that I will need to complete the piece. Obviously, if I'm working at 4.5 spi, I'm going to want about 14-16 stitches on either side to accommodate the armhole decs. I'm also going to want to look at the main motif to see how it will work with the neckline decs. The best (but perhaps not the easiest) way to troubleshoot any design pitfalls is to chart out the whole damned piece.
I should have the swatches finished by this weekend when I retrieve my camera. By the way, the Wool of the Andes is a pleasure to knit. And I hate Trinity stitch, so you won't be seeing that. Torture of the damned, in my opinion.
Victoria & Albert Museum
If you've never been there, you are missing one of my favorite museums. I had the great good fortune to visit the museum in 1986 during a business trip to London, where I saw one of the most incredible special exhibits on knitting. The V&A has an impressive website. Joe and I are two of the blogs listed there, along with other excellent knitting blogs. I'm truly honored.
Book Suggestions Needed
I'm out of reading material, so I'm looking for some assistance. I read a lot of mysteries, history, some novels. Kathy knows I'm a big Ian Rankin fan and he has a new one out but my county library sucks, so getting new books is tough. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
And now it's time to do some rare and handy laundry. My God, I hate housework.

The high-pitched metallic buzzing of a male Allen's Hummingbird's wings in flight heralds the species' midwinter arrival in coastal California during "spring" migration from central Mexico. Much squabbling ensues as the fiercely territorial males fight to defend food sources and breeding territories in anticipation of the arrival of females, soon to follow. To defend its territory, the male has one of the most complex and spectacular dive displays of any North American hummingbird. As a prelude to his dive, the male swings back and forth in symmetrical, pendulous arcs, pausing at the top of each arc to shake his body and emit a loud buzz. He then rises up to 30 meters before entering his power dive, pulling out of the dive just above the object of his display while emitting a loud, metallic shriek. The object of the display may be an intruder in his territory or a female seeking a male.
Help author an account about this species from a Neotropical perspective.

I have already posted a pizza with paneer topping,but just used paneer as such and sprinkled the masala powders on top. This time I marinated the paneer just as we do for the paneer tikka, and then made the pizza. It sure had a difference.The spicy paneer is just a treat along with the cheesy pizza. I usually top only with only onion,tomato and capsicum, but this paneer tikka is a nice spicy add as a topping.
Homemade Paneer Tikka recipe
Prep Time: 1 Hr Dough resting time | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 3
Active dry yeast – 3/4 tblsp
Milk – 1/4 cup
Water – 1/4 cup
Sugar – 1/2 tblsp
Salt – 3/4 tsp
Olive/cooking oil – 1/8 cup
Onion – 1/2
Tomato – 1/2,Chopped, De-seeded.
Capsicum – 1/2,chopped
Panner tikka – As needed
Mozzarella cheese – For topping
Italian seasoning – For topping
Paneer tikka
Hung curd – 2 – 3 tblsp
Red chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Crushed black pepper – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Tandoori masala powder – 1/2 – 1 tsp
Lemon juice – from 1/2 of a lemon
Ajwain/omam – 1 tsp
Salt and oil – As needed
Marinate the paneer cubes with other ingredients and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Take a broad vessel,add oilive oil,sugar,luke warm water. Mix well to dissolve sugar, add the milk and yeast.
- Mix well to dissolve the yeast. If you are not confident about the yeast, I would suggest proofing the yeast. (Refer notes)
- Add the flour and gather to get a smooth dough. No need to knead so much.
- Keep covered with a wet cloth till an hour. After an hour it will be doubled in size.
- Punch down and flatten the pizza dough with rolling pin or you can use your hands.
- Roll the edges a bit to form a rim, or you can spread the dough in the middle thinner than the sides to bring the rim and spread the sauce. Sprinkle required cheese and then top with chopped onion,tomato,capsicum,paneer cubes. You can toss the paneer cubes on tawa before topping it.
- Pre-heat oven to 1900C and bake it for 13-15 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- Proof the yeast if you are doubtful that its is active or not. Only a good quality yeast will give spongy pizzas. Otherwise it will turn hard.
- Heat the milk just till it turns warm. Add the yeast and sugar to it. Mix well until the yeast dissolves. Keep a side for 10 minutes. It should rise and become frothy. Then only the yeast is active. Otherwise need not proceed making the dough.
Enjoy the soft,tasty, spicy Indian homemade pizzas HOT!

In the Outback Steakhouse recipe "Bloomin' Onion," an onion's layers are peeled back like flower petals, revealing its center. Likewise, to expose the core of the United Nations' agenda, it must be peeled back, layer by layer.
In 2004, an alert Maryland police officer saw an Islamic woman in an SUV videotaping a bridge's support structures. He arrested the driver, Ismail Elbarasse—a Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood operative. An FBI raid on Elbarasse's home unearthed a trove of Islamic doctrinal books and key Muslim Brotherhood documents—which became evidence in the largest terrorism-financing trial in U.S. history.
Islam's books are "the real bomb," Muslim reformer Islam al-Behery said. Its ideology is "its blueprint" for world domination. A document from the Elbarasse raid outlines the Muslim Brotherhood's phased plan to destroy Western civilization from within:
I'd like to talk about the Palestinians—apart from the question of statehood. One should be provoked to compassion for the Palestinian people, because they are being destroyed by lies and strong delusion. Their leaders cause their young men to err by dangling the lie of beautiful virgins waiting to award them in paradise for the "honor" of murder or violence—and their own bloody and terrifying deaths. The Palestinians are destroying with their own hands those who in other circumstances could have been their brightest, bravest and most valiant young men—to lies.
President Donald Trump blocked a recent State Department effort to force Israel to return $75 million in military aid, the department's most recent attempt to erode the U.S.-Israel military alliance. State's demand was shocking, but it shouldn't be surprising.
Rex Tillerson's State Department has been embroiled in a power struggle with the White House, thwarting its efforts to remove Obama holdovers - and Trump nominees from filling open staff positions.
On the road to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's brave new world economy, democratic educational systems are speed bumps. To remove these obstacles, UNESCO has devised a compulsory global education scheme that exploits and politicizes how and what the next generation will learn—thus molding compliant "global citizens."
It's time for member states to take a hard look at UNESCO—and discern the growing gulf between its actions and the noble precepts of its Constitution and the UN charter. Despite its public commitment to justice, the rule of law and human rights, "without distinction of race, sex, language or religion," UNESCO strips these rights solely from Israel and denies its religious heritage, history, and legitimacy as the nation state of the Jewish people. UNESCO's "unrestricted pursuit of objective truth," and commitment to preserve the historic heritage of all world cultures excludes Israel.
From cradle to grave Muslims are taught to hate Jews. It's instilled in them to believe that peace will come only when every Jew is removed from off the face of the earth but it wasn't always this way.
The Temple Mount is the focus of a greater battle than meets the eye. Most commentators agree that the struggle for sovereignty is a key factor in the dispute; and certainly some Arab leaders exploit the religion card to keep the street agitated. But this ancient battle has multiple layers of truth, including the apocalyptic—the destiny of Israel and the nations surrounding her. Its center axis pivots not so much on conflicting religious systems, but on worship: Who is worshipped at the Temple Mount? Who is worshipped at Al-Aqsa Mosque? How does this spiritual side of life impact our world?
The battle over Jerusalem has extended to higher education. A firestorm erupted over Israel's offer to East Jerusalem Arab schools to teach the Israeli curriculum instead of the Palestinian one. The Israeli curriculum could open the door for Arab students to take the Israeli matriculation exams and study at its high-ranked colleges and universities. Many East Jerusalem parents realize that access to Israel's colleges and universities would boost their children's careers. To that end, the Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Ministry designated 20 million Israeli shekels (more than $5.5 million) for physical plant upgrades to the seven East Jerusalem municipality schools that accepted the option.
The attainment of social justice has been a utopian goal throughout history. While God created all equal, there is no society in the world where this actually exists in a pure form. There have always been advocates and champions for the poor and downtrodden so the call for social justice will always be with us. It is right to want to help those less fortunate but we must not be deceived into believing a lie over the honest truth.

Denise Stillwaggon Leone received a Diploma of Fine Arts and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a BFA from Tufts University. She designs and fabricates architectural art glass commissions for site-specific installations, and has won private and public art competitions. Her work can be found in public spaces of universities, schools, hospitals, libraries, and places of worship. She creates autonomous glass sculptures that have been shown internationally, published in the New Glass Review and 25 Years of New Glass Review. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Corning Museum of Glass.
In addition to completing commissioned work, Denise teaches. For fifteen years at the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass she has taught "Painting the Void" an image-making course using a method she developed combining sandblasting, vitreous painting and fusing glass. She has also been a guest instructor at the Pittsburgh, PA Glass Center; at Espace Verre in Montreal, Canada; and at the Wired Design Studio in San Antonio, TX.
"I use painted and sandblasted glass to develop visual expressions in layers of overlapping imagery. The interplay of light, space, and time are important to me, and I manipulate these relationships to encourage perceptual discovery and new meaning. Lyric poetry provides a good analogy. The images build upon one another to create a statement capable of multiple layers of interpretation. Although I often refer to an historic archetype, my intention is subversive, and challenges the iconic." For me my work is really about the mystical properties of light and the creation of something which has meaning larger than the sum of its parts."

So now that the soda ban has been passed, could forcing NYC restaurants to list allergy-inducing ingredients be the next source of controversy?
Councilman David Greenfield is proposing legislation that would require all restaurants and catering halls to put up posters informing customers if they use ingredients in foods that typically trigger allergic reactions.
Eight ingredients account for 90 percent of all food allergies. The ingredients are peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, milk, soy, and wheat.
However, according to CBS New York, the New York State Restaurant Association is not open to another piece of legislation.
It will take roughly six to 12 months for the food-allergy bill to go through the legislative process.

Ever look at a sneaker and think you were experiencing fine art? As it turns out, many culture aficionados were doing just that during the premier of a new kind of art exhibit: The Rise of Sneaker Culture.
As of October 4th, The Rise of Sneaker Culture has ended its three month run at the Brooklyn Museum. It will be opening its doors to a brand new audience in December at the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, OH.
The Rise of Sneaker Culture is as much an expose of gloriously designed shoes as it is a celebration of sneakers in pop culture. From designs that predate World War II to Kanye West's Air Yeezys, the exhibit is an eclectic mixture of old and new alike. Because the show's curators knew they wouldn't have the space to tell the complete history of sneakers, they instead focused on highlighting the most iconic sneaker styles that have become cornerstones of American culture.
Among the most popular set pieces of the show are the first generation Nike Air Jordans, dating back to the mid 1980s. Considered one of the pivotal moments in sneaker history, Air Jordans became the center of media buzz when Michael Jordan went against NBA regulations and played in professional games wearing the shoes. Because of stern rules regarding shoe color, Michael Jordan was fined $5000 for every game he played while sporting his new sneakers. The fines wound up backfiring against the NBA when the controversy caused the popularity of Air Jordans to skyrocket, with Nike happily covering all expenses in stride. The design of Air Jordans would eventually change, but the brand became forever cemented in American pop culture.
Each generation of Air Jordans is chronicled by The Rise of Sneaker Culture, with more than 20 different designs spanning over 20 years. Air Jordans remain highly collectible to this day, with iterations of the shoe running for hundreds of dollars on storefronts and marketplaces.
The exhibit also highlights how the sneaker industry became a progressive force throughout history. Run DMC's "My Adidas" is a steady motif in The Rise of Sneaker Culture, featuring both the hit song and the band's signature sneakers: Superstars. Run DMC made history by signing their Superstar contract with Adidas during the 1980s, as sneaker deals to that point had been received exclusively by athletes. Not only did Run DMC's deal break boundaries within the sneaker industry, they also paved the way for sneaker creators to connect with and market to urban demographics. To this day, hip-hop and urban culture are both tied intricately with sneakers, and the Superstar sneakers are a perfect representation of this fusion.
The extensive collection showcased in The Rise of Sneaker Culture will continue traveling across the country throughout 2016, with stops planned at both Atlanta's High Museum of Art and The Speed Art Museum in Louisville, KY. With collectible sneakers continuing to grow in popularity, The Rise of Sneaker Culture is a bold sign of how far the industry has grown. With everything from sponsored shoes to vintage relics on display, there's no telling what style or design could become iconic decades later. If there's one lesson to be taken away from the exhibit, it's that anything old can certainly become new again.

Henry is in the best form of his career, says Millwall boss
MILLWALL boss Kenny Jackett believes winger James Henry is enjoying the best form of his career after developing into a more complete player this season.
Henry has been a key performer for the Lions this campaign, contributing six assists and five goals in the league, and is a strong contender to win the club's player of the season award.
The 23-year-old is likely to sit out Millwall's Championship fixture against Wolves on Tuesday night after sustaining a leg injury in the second-half of the Lions' 1-0 defeat to Leeds United.
But Jackett, reflecting on Henry's season so far, told NewsAtDen: "James has progressed steadily in his time here over the last few seasons. His work rate and talent have always been there.
"I think this season has been his best one – his most successful and most consistent. He has been a constant source of creativity and he has put the work in for the team as well.
"You're always looking at both sides of a player – to make sure they take care of their own form and performances, which is the most important thing, and then to be a good team man as well.
"If you get enough players like that then you'll generally find a winning formula. This season, James has combined being a good individual and being a good team man, which is tough to do."

Now, I have to admit that we are not really Valentine's Day people. There are no cards exchanged, no chocolates or flowers gifted, and definitely no fancy overpriced dinner reservations. It's usually like any other day around here. Last year though we changed our minds – we decided to head on down to Reims (pronounced "Rance" – don't ask me why) to get our bubbly on. You see, Reims is the capital of the Champagne region and you can't throw a stone without hitting a well-known champagne house. After a quick search, we settled on two houses: Martel, and Mumm.
If you haven't done a champagne tour before, then here's the deal. If you are planning to visit during the heavier tourist season (May through August), you will typically want to reserve a spot ahead of time, especially if you are planning to visit one of the well-known houses like Moet & Chandon. Although it depends on the house, you'll pay somewhere between 9 and 20+ euro for a visit down to the caves and a champagne tasting. The number of tastings varies and some houses will give you the option to "upgrade" your tasting to include additional champagnes or step-up the swank level and go for the really good stuff.
The first stop of the day was G.H. Martel & Co.G.H. Martel 17 Rue des Créneaux, Reims email: firstname.lastname@example.com
11am tour. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this champagne house. This one was definitely the best bang for the buck: for only 9 euro we got the cave tour as well as three champagne tastings. The best kind of breakfast is a champagne breakfast!
Before heading on to our next stop, we made a detour to the Reims Cathedral.
The Cathedral of Reims holds an important spot in French history – this church held the coronation of at least 25 French kings and queens. You wouldn't know it now, but Reims was almost completely destroyed during World War I, including this cathedral. It's a beautiful church. The best part for me were the gorgeous Marc Chagall stained glass windows.
After the Cathedral, we headed on to our final champagne stop: Mumm!
G.H. Mumm & Co. 34 rue du Champs de Mars, Reims email: firstname.lastname@example.com
When I was in Paris with my mom and sister a few years back this was my favorite of the houses we visited on our champagne tour. This is one of the classic houses – a worldwide name – and a reservation is definitely recommended here. This one is pricier than Martel (I believe it came in around 20 euro) and you only get one tasting. If you're looking for the classic champagne tour/tasting that isn't super corporate (yet) – this is your spot.
Honest thoughts? I think champagne tours are a bit overrated. The tours are pretty standard across all champagne houses, so if you've done one you've pretty much done them all. They can also be quite pricey. For the top-name champagne houses (Moet & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot) – you'll likely pay upwards of 20 euro for a single tasting of their standard champagne. Me? Having now done a few of these, I'd rather take that money I'd spend for a couple of tours and glasses of champagne and buy myself a WHOLE bottle of the good stuff.
After a day out exploring, we settled into our airbnb with a bottle of wine we picked up along the way. Or attempted to at least. Without any luck locating a wine opener, we decided to take matters into our own hands. Or shoe in this case: We did successfully get it open, but we'll need a bit more practice to get this trick perfected. And wouldn't you know it – later that evening we finally located the wine opener.

What Are We Doing?
Opposing the hostile takeover of Liberty Apple Valley
Opposing the hostile takeover of Liberty Apple Valley
The Town of Apple Valley is in an excellent position to win its legal battle to take over the water system. The court can see clearly that the public interest is better served with local control over such a precious resource, and also that the public strongly supports the efforts of the town.
With Measure F in place, the town is ready to purchase the water company today. So why is Liberty Utilities interested in delaying the process? Could it be because every day that Liberty drags the case out, it gets to continue supplying us with water at the highest rates in the High Desert?
Come on, Liberty. Come to your senses. Save your shareholders the millions you are spending on this lawsuit. Your delaying tactics may result in a judge setting a lower price. Sell to the town now.

hello and other things
I can't believe I have a new camera.
And of course my laptop found out about my new camera and decided to quit working.
(I am typing this on Luke's work laptop.)
My blood sugar crashed last night and all of these wild thoughts were running through my head. I need more time for me. And more time to write things down. I would like to be organized and have them on my blog, but even written on a piece of paper would be better than flitting out of my brain and never returning. I would like to buy an iMac or an oversized plain paper notebook and a new sharpie. Probably the second one. I am paying off the new camera.
Hope I will be back soon with my notebook thoughts all ready for the world.
* * * * *
Continuing with the question answering:
the grumbles asked: i want to hear about these goodwill bins! what are these bins you speak of? how does one find them?
Ohhhh my my. I will do a post about the bins soon. It is technically called The Goodwill Outlet and it is nuttttsssss. As the old gentleman I always run into there says, "I just call this place the mad market." Basically it is unsorted Goodwill merchandise that no one has looked at yet mixed with merchandise that didn't sell. It is all dumped into bins that are wheeled out into a room full of waiting wild-eyed people wearing gloves. The waiting people POUNCE on the junk as it is rolled out and tear through it like the crazies that they are. (I am one of them so I can say such things.) I have actually seen people FIGHT over this stuff, like, all up face to face, having words with locked eyes and then getting kicked out, the whole bit. It is 99 or 69 cents a pound, depending on what you are buying. And the stuff I've bought? I will save for another post. I've bought like, um, 60 or so pounds of stuff. I'm a little ashamed but it is so much fun.
Michelle G asked: if you could do ANYTHING (in YES a perfect world...) what would it be? (photograpy....re-sale shop for the thrift store "scores" etc..)
Oh Michelle, this is THE question I ask myself all the time. What am I even doing? I think the answer is that I want to do everything and I want to do it all really well-- so much better than I currently can do any one thing. I want to get better enough at something and everything to turn the sparks in my brain into something I can look at and hold and put away in a drawer. Specific, I know.
Tell me one or two differences in your parenting from baby #1 to baby #3 (as we all seem to change SO much in our parenting styles with each new kiddo :)
Well, Clark was actually an easy baby. Clark who is the challenge of all challenges now? Was an easy baby. I was totally the mom who 100% cloth diapered, played toys on the floor all the time, "KNEW" what worked, etc. While I loved being at that place and doing all that stuff, Hal has never worn a cloth diaper. Sad, kind of, because cloth diapering is really economical and can be fun, but I am 30,000 times busier and tireder now than I was then. And I don't "KNOW" anything now. I know what is working for me today, but not what works. There is a big difference.
Kate from Big City Belly said: what time do you go to bed? how much sleep do you get? what time do you usually wake up in the morning? (clearly, I love to talk about sleep)
I am a night owl, it is in my blood, and I have always gone to bed after midnight. HOWEVER, Hal has never slept more than five hours at a time and wakes up around 5:30 every morning, so I am tired all the time. All of the time. I am tired. All of the time. And as night-owly as I am, I am every bit as much not a morning person. Is there a word for that kind of person? It is me. I am a huge jerk until 11 every morning. My eyes don't open until allllll the coffee is gone. And I drink my coffee from a Mason jar.
(I will keep answering the questions left here a little at a time until they are all done. You can leave me one if you missed it the first time and there is something you are wondering!)

Mmm... I adore you and miss you. The night-owl/non-morning-person/coffee-by-the-gallon thing? kindred spirits.ReplyDelete
and what a hubby. that camera? score.
i just saw your banner for the first time... SO CUTE! I love it! :)ReplyDelete
oh I feel for you being so tired! Must not be easy, I admire you!ReplyDelete
What kind of camera did you get? My camera I got last year is much more capable than me, as in I still haven't quite figured out the manual settings even though it makes for much better photos. I wish human beings weren't predisposed to take the shortcut route if there is one! I guess sometimes we dont.. but generally you know? hehe anyway that's too much thinking for this early. I'm off to have my jar of coffee now! :) xo
Okay, I'm loving your new camera! Great pictures! I'm very excited for lots of more pictures!ReplyDelete
What a camera! What great pics! What a great PHOTOGRAPHER!ReplyDelete
"I want to do everything, and do it really well."ReplyDelete
Yes, friend! The story of my life. It's a hard life to live, though, especially with not much sleep.
You got it, you got it, you got it!!!! Its such a great camera :) Yay!ReplyDelete
Also, I can't remember if I ever told you this or not, but feel like I have known less with each baby. By the time Evan came around I was pretty clueless. Not sure what that is all about...
kiss your camera for me, i love new camera feeling! of course then you have to learn to get to know eachother, but that's neither here nor there.ReplyDelete
ok, now tell me WHERE these bins are! :)
What camera did you end up getting? So exciting!!!!ReplyDelete
A brilliant photographer deserves a fabulous camera. Congratulations to you and your camera.ReplyDelete
So glad you got things back up for now! Love the new header, too. I'm seeing Jil this weekend, too, btw. Still crack up at when you just had Clark on your xanga blog! How small this world is.ReplyDelete
I think you're doing a GREAT job with that new camera! And, I love that you drink coffee from a mason jar! ha!ReplyDelete
So fun to learn new things about you from the questions. :)
Did you make Alice's adorable skirt?!! Love it! Looks suspiciously like it could've come from your lovely pillowcase collection. :)ReplyDelete
And, oh, my. Does anyone know what they're doing when it comes to raising munchkins? A friend tried to tell me what "works" a few months ago. She has six children, so for a second I thought maybe I should listen up. But, then it dawned on me that ALL of her children are the easy types...super compliant from birth types. Mine are not like that.

I love your photos! What kind of camera is it? enjoy :)ReplyDelete
what a good, sweet luke. what a nice husband he is for giving you such a perfect gift. not liking your camera is frustrating. happy you have a new one. love the new top logo. love that close up of clark.ReplyDelete
i really love this because i'm consumed with exhaustion and guilt..i just blogged it! because ever is nursing so much and i work full time for the first time in my life with a baby, she is our fourth too and i take her with me to work in the baby room but ommmggggg i'm sooo tiiireedddReplyDelete
I saved this blog to comment when blogger would allow me.... I think it was to tell you I love that photo of Alice, but I'm not sure anymore :\ReplyDelete
You clearly made a good choice with the camera - and you have a knack for photography. (I think I've told you that a million times).ReplyDelete
Also - your answer to the question about what you could do if you could do ANYTHING? I totally get it.

This is an extraordinarily courageous YouTube video of Nagla Al-Imam, an Egyptian attorney and prominent human rights activist, who has recently converted from Islam to Christ. In this video she sings a spiritual song together with her two children, asking Christ to hold their hands and strengthen them as they go through the high waves of persecution.
Ms Al-Imam posted this video after she was reportedly bashed by the Egyptian security forces: the bruises are clearly visible on her face, and she can barely open her mouth to sing: perhaps her jaw was broken in the assault.
According to Islamic law, any Muslim who leaves Islam loses custody of their children. The children are to be placed in the custody of a Muslim relative. This is one of the points made in apostasy fatwas (rulings) issued by the Chief Scholar of the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute, His Excellency Shaykh Sa'id Hijjawi, during the time when he was Grand Mufti of Jordan (from 1992-2007). (The Aal al-Bayt Institute was the sponsor of the Common Word letter to the Christian world.)

Thanks for sharing,

I am glad I found your blog from this linky, you have a lot of great ideas.I loved your card, I am hoping that is true. That has been a huge focus for me this summer. I actually just bought one of those drawer carts today- I like seeing how other people are using them and getting ideas for how I want to use it.ReplyDelete
The drop box is great - I will use that too. I use the drawers, I have two sets - one for guided reading and the other for maths. They work really well and the kids are used to checking them out for tasks and work not finished. That 's' on the end of math gives me away as an Aussie blogger.ReplyDelete

Those are actually just a pin I found on Pinterest. I sadly don't own them. BUT! I did just see those drawers at Sam's Club for only $24.99 over the weekend. I have also spotted them in the Really Good Stuff or Lakeshore magazine but they were around $60. :/....Hope that helps!Delete

Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.
