When Jennifer Reese lost her job, she was overcome by an impulse common among the recently unemployed: to economize by doing for herself what she had previously paid for. She had never before considered making her own peanut butter and pita bread, let alone curing her own prosciutto or raising turkeys. And though it sounded logical that "doing it yourself" would cost less, she had her doubts. So Reese began a series of kitchen-related experiments, taking into account the competing demands of everyday contemporary American family life as she answers some timely questions: When is homemade better? Cheaper? Are backyard eggs a more ethical choice than store-bought? Will grinding and stuffing your own sausage ruin your week? Is it possible to make an edible maraschino cherry? Some of Reese's discoveries will surprise you: Although you should make your hot dog buns, guacamole, and yogurt, you should probably buy your hamburger buns, potato chips, and rice pudding. Tired? Buy your mayonnaise. Inspired? Make it. With its fresh voice and delightful humor, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter gives 120 recipes with eminently practical yet deliciously fun "Make or buy" recommendations. Reese is relentlessly entertaining as she relates her food and animal husbandry adventures, which amuse and perplex as well as nourish and sustain her family. Her tales include living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks, and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here's the full picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life—with the good news that you shouldn't try to make everything yourself—and how to get the most out of your time in the kitchen.
Jennifer Reese has been a professional journalist all of her adult life, working mostly for national magazines, and has been an avid, adventurous home cook for even longer, which she blogs about at the Tipsy Baker (tipsybaker.com) as well as for online publications like Slate. Reese also teaches cooking classes in Marin County, California, where she lives with her family.

"In a time when the pressure's on to be green, organic and homemade, food fans and cooks will appreciate a book that encourages balance: Make your own hummus, yogurt and dill pickles, but buy sashimi, baguettes and corn dogs."
"A great read for cooks afflicted by curiosity about the do-it-yourself movement in food. Ms. Reese goes beyond jam and chutney into pasta, pastrami and graham crackers. Even her failed experiments, like homemade hot dogs, are entertaining." –New York Times
"From hot dog buns to Pop-Tarts, she reveals whether it's better to buy it or make it, accounting for the cost, hassle and rate of success. Happily, she dispenses this practical know-how with a crackling sense of humor, making this book a fun read. The scope and utility of this book make it worthy of space in your collection, especially this time of year when you're looking for fast and interesting gifts to make in the kitchen. Plus Reese's honesty is refreshing and inspiring; she goes from a hilarious review of the 1970s Earth-mother bible "Laurel's Kitchen" to making a modern-day case for baking."
– The Oregonian
"Now that Michael Pollan has made us all aspire to be politically correct foodies, a certain angst has cast its shadow over the average American home. One of the big issues is, should I make my own food and thus assure myself that it contains only the healthiest and freshest of ingredients, or is it more practical to just buy it somewhere. Reese tackles this question for a number of common foods and she writes in a witty, conversational style that wins you over right from the start."
– Sacramento Bee
"I'm always interested in what Jennifer says about food, and about how to retain the pleasure of eating it in an increasingly confusing world. Plus, she's convinced me to try making my own Camembert. Jennifer's is a journey I'm thrilled to embark upon."
– Julie Powell, author of Julie and Julia
"I knew this important, original, and necessary book would be informative—and it is, very. What I didn't expect: pure entertainment in an original, fresh voice that will make readers feel they have a smart new best friend. I lapped this up in one sitting, learned a bunch, laughed out loud - and am about to try several of the recipes. You nailed it, Jennifer Reese!"
– Mollie Katzen, author of Moosewood Cookbook
"Here is a book that is going to take a treasured place in my kitchen bookrack. Part memoir, part Consumer-Reports-style testing, this book is chock-full of recipes and good advice in the kitchen. There are a few things Jennifer Reese does in this book that make it particularly indispensable: before each recipe, she tells her story of why she wanted to tackle it. Her recipes are easy-to-follow, and often include diagrams and pictures to get through the more difficult parts. I would highly recommend this book if you are thinking about embarking on the adventure that is backyard chicken raising. Here, Reese offers a humane and very funny look at what that project brought to her family. I would recommend this book if you, like me, spend a lot of time thinking about what goes into your body and wondering where did so many of these so-called "conveniences" come from, and are they really worth it? I've suspected making my own bread is the way to go for a long time, but in this book, Jennifer Reese cements it for me. Her recipes are tried-and-true, her reasoning makes sense to me, and her personality makes it believable. Buy this book, give it to a friend, make these recipes and watch your world get a little better."
– The Tattered Cover
"Her experiences led her to create a great blog, Tipsy Baker, and this awesome book. She's very sarcastic, which makes me happy. Jennifer tells it like it is, from a simple bread recipe to raising chickens, and breaks everything down by price, reward, and hassle factor."
– TrueFoodMovement.com
"I loved this book. In her inspiring and hilarious voice, Reese reminds me why I actually should take the time to make from scratch things that I buy and giving me a pass on those things that I really don't want to make myself anyway. I laughed out loud."

Michael and Maria Vaughan's hotel - purpose-built to high specifications, mainly with the comfort of golfers in mind - offers peace and relaxation within easy walking distance of the town centre. They see it as a 'designer country house hotel' and that is a fair description, especially given their own hospitality, which is a combination of genuine warmth and professional expertise.
Pleasing contemporary design combines with quality materials and a great sense of space in large, clean-lined bedrooms and public areas - including a clubby bar with leather easy chairs and sofas which golfers, in particular, are sure to enjoy; the decor is low key and the ambience throughout is that of a comfortable gentleman's club.
Michael cooks breakfast for guests himself, and the timing for this is interesting (and could be taken up by others): "come down when you're up"!
A drying room is available for golfers' or walkers' wet clothing.
Vaughan Lodge caters for small weddings up to 70 people.
Run as a stand-alone restaurant specialising in seafood, this is a large, spacious room and dark polished wood tables, crisp linen runners and elegant table settings set the tone for some fine cooking.
Head chef, John Gilmartin, who took over the kitchen in 2015, previously worked here as sous chef; he is the latest in a succession of talented chefs at this excellent restaurant - and, as is the custom here, his menus are refreshingly to the point and written in clear, accurate English. Fresh local seafood accounts for over half of the à la carte menu in summer, with the selection offered typically including line-caught mackerel as well as seabass, hake, monkfish, mussels, scallops and organic salmon.
Interesting artisan foods from the area also feature strongly, some of them from named producers, and valued suppliers are listed on the menu.
Ingredients are used in a creative modern style, with key starters based on local seafood, notably Liscannor crab claws, and St Tola goat cheese. Main courses also offer a lot of local fish, delicious Burren lamb and perhaps Skeaghanore duck from West Cork; foraged ingredients may feature in season too - as in whole Dover Sole with samphire.
To accompany, the wide-ranging wine list (grouped by price) includes a strong house selection (8 wines), useful tasting notes and a good choice of half bottles.
The dinner menu offers less choice (and a lower proportion of seafood), but it is very good value and includes a well chosen local cheese selection. The aim is to offer a balance between fine dining and popular local choices, attracting a good mix of residents and local diners.
Quality food plus excellent service and hospitality (Michael Vaughan is an attentive and charming host), have made this one of the area's most highly regarded restaurants - and a favourite destination for many.
Seats 60. D daily Tue-Sat 6.30pm-9.30pm; set 2/3 course D €43/€50. Wine from €26. SC 10% on groups 8+.


text: Fudge Big Bold OOMF Shampoo & Conditioner 18th August, 2014 Conditioner I've always remembered Fudge doing amazing haircare, seriously good stuff that I used to use as a teenager (I remember a shampoo that smelt like that amazing Banana antibiotic liquid you used to get as a kid). Since then, their styling products have come on leaps and bounds; you'll know some of their products are my absolute favourites – but their haircare has been a little… lacklustre. Fudge Big Bold OOMF Shampoo and Conditioner break this streak and are two absolutely excellent haircare products that have been an absolute pleasure to use; particularly for someone with fine hair. These are not products for those with hair loss, but if like me, you have fine hair (I'm just lucky I have an abundance of it), then this will turn your limp locks into fulsome follicles. With bamboo extract and wheat protein; the shampoo cleanses hair thoroughly, removing all traces of styling clays, sprays and gels whilst the conditioner foams gently, leaving hair hydrated and fuller. Just like the rest of the Fudge Big Hair collection, they smell fantastic, sort of like Refresher lollies or Love Hearts (but not sickly sweet). Fudge Big Bold OOMF Shampoo & Conditioner are available here from beautybay.com who currently have just over 25% off the two at only £6.82 each with free delivery!

text: Groundwater issues have generated worldwide concern in recent decades. The problems are numerous: too little groundwater, too much groundwater, groundwater contaminated by either saline water or a broad spectrum of industrial and domestic pollutants. Many urban groundwater problems are not unique to any one region, which is the thinking behind this book. Many of the case studies presented here have never before been described in English. Overall, the papers represent the work and experience of researchers and groundwater professionals who have worked on urban groundwater issues in developed and less-developed nations around the world. They reveal the magnitude and scope of the problem as well as identify future challenges, potential courses of action, and emerging technologies that offer hope for the future.

Fuck around all you want, I'm no judge Judy. But don't string a woman along for a major chunk of her childbearing years. That's not cool.
When you've spent the last five years loving a man and wondering why he doesn't love you back…you tend to get a wee bit cynical about things.
Take it easy there, Diane Arbus. Don't have a coronary, 'cause I wouldn't know how to explain that to your wife.

I find interesting to hear these people ranting and raving about saving the environment when they'll probably blow like 10 000 pounds of fuel on their private jet planes getting down to Cabo this weekend. That's right, babs. You heard me. Tell Oprah I said so. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, ladies.

Returning a Cisco Router to its original factory setting isn't a hard task at all. There are many methods that can be used, but I will show you the two most straight-forward approaches.
Check the configuration register by issuing the 'show version' command or 'sh ver' for short. The configuration register will be displayed on the last line of the 'sh ver' output. The router should be set to 0x2102, if not issue the 'config-register 0x2102' once you are in global configuration mode. An example of this is below:
router# configure terminal
router(config)# config-register 0x2102
router(config)# end
After entering this command, the 'sh ver' output will display (will be 0x2102 at next reload).
Now you can erase the current start-up configuration with the 'write erase' command or 'erase start'. This deletes all of the previous configuration information from NVRAM, so if you need to keep this info be sure and back up the data onto your terminal.
After you have erased the startup config, enter the 'reload' command. You will be asked to save the system configuration, reply with 'n' or 'no' and confirm.
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
Once the router reloads, the user will be presented with a 'System Configuration Dialog'.
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
The router is now reset back to the original factory defaults.
This method is similar to method 1, but uses a different config-register, specifically 0x2142. Enter the 'config-register 0x2142' command in global configuration mode, just as you did with 0x2102 in Method 1. This causes the router to ignore the contents of NVRAM which stores the startup-config.
router(config)# config-register 0x2142
Reload the router using the 'reload' command. Once again there is no reason to save the config when the router prompts before reload, simply say 'n' or 'no' and confirm.
System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]: n
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
Once the router reloads, you will be presented with 'System Configuration Dialog', enter 'no' at the prompt.
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: n
Change the configuration register back to 0x2102 by issuing the 'config-register 0x2102' in global configuration mode, just as you did in Method 1. Then you can issue the 'write erase' or 'erase start' commands to delete the startup configuration and reload. After reload you will see confirmation of your reset when the 'System Configuration Dialog' appears.

Sorry for the long description – I'm trying to desribe our problem as fulfilling as possible.
We're running a WordPress Multi Site, with 9 different sites connected, where 7 of these use Subscribe2html for different digest newsletters.
5 days ago one of the sites (www.elteknik-online.dk) only send the digest to first 1/8 of the subsribers and the next day another of the sites (www.elektronik-online.dk) didn't send anything at all. I have spoken with the company hosting both our webservers and the one hosting our mailserver, which we send through, and it has been confirmed that the mailserver didn't receive anything from either of the 2 sites to mail out, after the send was interrupted the first time.
During the same period of time 4 of the other sites did send out digest e-mails with success, even though they run on the exact same install.
We weren't running the latest version of S2html, but our WordPress install has been running ver. 4.0 for some weeks now without problems.
To ensure everything is compatible before seeking help, I have upgraded to the latest version of S2html (ver. 10.5). I did this yesterday and today one of the failing digest newsletters is now sending mails on schedule as intended (the other has no new posts yet), but a new issue has appeared…
The first site (www.elteknik-online.dk) is set to "Daily digest" and had 5 new posts added within the last 24 hours (posted within the same hour), but only the very newest post was included in the newsletter.
Another site (www.food-drink.dk) is set to weekly digest and missed about 90% of the newest post, but included the older posts from last week (still within the 7-day timeline).
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot any longer, since most of the sites are working correct on the same install.
Each site is using it's own domain name, but the newsletters are send out from different mail adressess on a common domain name (approved by the mail host).
Best, Thomas

The problem seems to be solved.
The WP_Cron has been running correctly the whole time, but seemed to fail anyway. After disabling the digest send by selecting "Per Post" instead and tested a successfull mail to my test list of subscribers, I switched back to the digest schedules (daily / weekly) for the 2 sites and then it worked again without any changes.

when I saw this little baby girl's reaction to my "baby guacamole":
Are you serious? Now I know I'm a little bias but it can't get any cuter than this. This kid LOVES food. I mean LOVES it! I thought that when feeding babies you had to do that crazy airplane trick to force feed them real food. As if the baby is like, "Mom, there is no way you're getting those peas past these lips. But an airplane ?! OKAY!" Nope, no fake flying machinery in this house. Just give her the food. She has quite a sophisticated pallette for an 8-month old...or an 8-year old for that matter. I had weeks and weeks of prepared baby puree in the freezer only to discover shortly after that those are "sooo last month". She much prefers quinoa, hummus and zucchini to those bland purees and teething biscuits which look a little too suspiciously like dog biscuits. She wants flavor, and if she keeps making faces like this, I will definitely do my best to deliver.

One of the best reasons to get a BlackBerry device is its BlackBerry Messenger service which allows people to send messages, photos and even videos with each other. This feature which is exclusive to BlackBerry devices will soon become available to Android and iOS devices.
No release date as has been announced by BlackBerry yet as to when this service will be arriving but a landing page of the company went live briefly announcing that "BBM for Android and iPhone is here". This has already gone offline and in its place the usual landing page that lets you sign up with your email to get updates on when BBM will be available for Android and iPhone. The page mentioned that features such as BBM Voice, BBM Video and screensharing are going to be available for Android and iPhone users. An FAQ portion was also present which answered questions such as "what is a pin?", "is BBM free?", and "how do I personalize my BBM profile?"
BlackBerry made the official announcement during Blackberry World 2013 last May that their popular BBM service will soon become available for Android and iPhone devices. No release date was mentioned however it is believed that it will be available this year. The latest online materials posted by the company suggest that it may be arriving this summer.
Once the app becomes available BlackBerry users will be able to use BBM to communicate with Android and iPhone users. Text messages, voice, photos, and videos can be done through BBM as long as a data connection is present.
Just recently Samsung Ghana posted a video ad over at YouTube announcing that BBM for Galaxy devices is arriving soon.
The recent surge in online activity of BBM related ads suggests that its release date is coming soon.

Apollonius of Rhodes, also known as Apollonius Rhodius (early third century B.C.E. - after 246 B.C.E.), was an epic poet, scholar, and director of the Library of Alexandria. He is best known for his epic poem, the Argonautica, which told of the mythological story of Jason and the Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece and is one of the chief works in the history of epic poetry.
Like Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Argonautica was written in hexameters and is comparable to these epic poems. Often, Apollonius paraphrases Homer, who was very popular at the court of the Ptolemaic rulers, Ptolemy IV Philopator and Arsinoe III. There is a major difference between Apollonius' heroes and those of Homer, however: Apollonius' heroes and heroines are, from a psychological point of view, more complex and credible. Apollonius's poem inspired the Roman Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica.
The sources dealing with Apollonius's life are sketchy and often contradictory. It is clear, however, Apollonius was not born in Rhodes, but adopted the surname "Rhodius" while living there. He was born in either Alexandria or Naucratis, which lay south of Alexandria on the Nile. He lived for a time in Rhodes, and he held the post of Librarian at least until 246 B.C.E. He was a student of the poet and scholar Callimachus, and there are also accounts of a later, bitter feud between the student and his mentor.
There are four main sources of information on Apollonius' life: Two texts entitled, Life of Apollonius; an entry on him in the tenth century encyclopedia, the Suda; and a second century B.C.E. papyrus, P.Oxy. 1241, which provides the names of several heads of the Library of Alexandria. Other miscellaneous texts provide further information.
Birth: The two Lives and the Suda name Apollonius' father as Silleus or Illeus. The second Life names his mother as "Rhode," meaning "Rhodian woman," but this may merely be an attempt to explain Apollonius' epithet "Rhodian." The Lives, the Suda, and the historian Strabo all agree that Apollonius came from Alexandria; Athenaeus and Aelian, however, say that he came from Naucratis, some 43.5 miles south of Alexandria along the river Nile.[1] No source gives the date of his birth.
Student of Callimachus: The Lives and the Suda agree that Apollonius was a student of the poet and scholar Callimachus. The second Life adds that "some say" Apollonius was buried with Callimachus.
Head of the Library of Alexandria: The second Life, the Suda< and P.Oxy. 1241 attest that Apollonius held this post. P. Oxy. 1241 establishes that Apollonius was succeeded by Eratosthenes; this must have been after 247/246 B.C.E., the date of the accession of Ptolemy III Euergetes, who seems to be the monarch that appointed Eratosthenes.
The Suda says that Apollonius succeeded Eratosthenes, but this is impossible: Apollonius studied with Callimachus, who died ca. 240 B.C.E.; the first Life says Apollonius was contemporary with Ptolemy III; and Eratosthenes held the post until at least 204 B.C.E. The Suda entry on Eratosthenes says that Eratosthenes held the post from the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes until Ptolemy V.
Move from Alexandria to Rhodes: The Lives and the Suda attest to Apollonius moving from Alexandria to Rhodes. It is uncertain, however, whether he died there, or whether he came back to Alexandria in order to take up the position of head of the Library after his time in Rhodes.
Death: Only the two Lives give information about Apollonius' death, and they disagree. The first says he died in Rhodes; the second says he died after returning to Alexandria.
From this, one can conclude that (1) Apollonius was born in either Alexandria or Naucratis; (2) he lived for a time in Rhodes; (3) he held the post of Librarian at least until 246 B.C.E. From this, in turn, one may infer that he lived in the early-to-mid third century B.C.E. Beyond this point lies only speculation.
A number of sources speak of a bitter feud between Apollonius and his former teacher, Callimachus. The Palatine Anthology preserves an epigram, attributed to "Apollonius the grammarian," which mocks Callimachus and his most famous poem, the Aetia (Causes): "Callimachus: Trash, cheat, wood-for-brains."[2] In addition, multiple sources explain Callimachus' poem, Ibis— which has not survived—as a polemic against an enemy identified as Apollonius. Between them, these references conjure up images of a sensational literary feud between the two figures. However, the truth of this story continues to be debated in modern scholarship, with views on both sides. Both of the Lives of Apollonius stress the friendship between the poets; the second Life even claims they were buried together; and some scholars doubt the sources that identify the Ibis as a polemic against Apollonius. There is still not a consensus, but most scholars of Hellenistic literature now believe the feud was enormously sensationalized, if it happened at all.[3]
A second sensationalized story about Apollonius is the account in the Lives of how, as a young man, he gave a performance of his epic, the Argonautica, in Alexandria. He was universally mocked for it, and fled to Rhodes in shame. There, he was feted by the Rhodians and given citizenship. After this, according to the second Life, he made a triumphant return to Alexandria, where he was promptly elevated to head of the Library. It is unlikely that much of this is factual; the story is a mixture of "local boy makes good" and "underdog makes a heroic comeback." Fairytale elements such as these are characteristic of ancient biographies.
The Argonautica differs in some respects from traditional or Homeric Greek epic, though Apollonius certainly used Homer as a model.
For one thing, the Argonautica is shorter than Homer's epics, with four books totaling less than 6,000 lines, while the Iliad runs to more than 16,000 lines. Apollonius may have been influenced here by Callimachus' brevity, or by Aristotle's recommendation that poems be "on a smaller scale than the old epics, and answering in length to the group of tragedies presented at a single sitting" (the Poetics).
Apollonius' epic also differs from the more traditional epic in its very human protagonist, Jason. Both this hero and others appear more three-dimensional and psychologically credible in Apollonius' work. Argonautica also gives many accounts of the origins of local customs (aetiology) and other popular subjects of Hellenistic poetry. Apollonius also chooses the less-shocking versions of some myths, having Medea, for example, merely watch the murder of Apsyrtus instead of murdering him herself. The gods are relatively distant and inactive throughout much of the epic, following the Hellenistic trend to allegorize and rationalize religion. Heterosexual loves such as Jason's are emphasized more than homosexual loves, such as that of Heracles and Hylas, another trend in Hellenistic literature. Many critics regard the love of Medea and Jason in the third book as the best written and most memorable episode.
Opinions on Apollonius' lasting contribution to Western literature, the Argonautica, have changed over time. Some critics in antiquity considered it mediocre.[4] Recent criticism has seen a renaissance of interest in the poem and an awareness of its qualities, with numerous scholarly studies published regularly. Its influence on later poets, like Virgil, is now well recognized, and any account of the history of epic poetry now routinely includes substantial attention to Apollonius.

The term "labret" is used both to refer to a type of body piercing, and to the jewelry used in that piercing. Such piercings are very common in many counterculture groups, especially the gothic community, and they have a long history among Native Americans and other tribal peoples as well. As is the case with any body piercing, you should think carefully about a labret before getting one, and you should research body piercing shops carefully before committing to one.
The root of the word is the Latin word labrum, which means "lip." Technically, a labret is any type of piercing which involves the lip, although most people use the term specifically to refer to lower lip piercings, particularly those which are closer to the chin. When referring to jewelry, a labret is any type of jewelry designed for use in such a lip piercing.
There are numerous styles of labret, and potential piercees should discuss them with a piercer, as not all styles are suitable for everyone. Most people think of a single stud in the upper chin region when they hear the term "labret," but this is only the beginning of a myriad of options. A vertical labret, for example, goes through the top of the lower lip, while snakebites are paired labret piercings. A lowbret is located further down the face and closer to the chin.
As with all oral piercings, a labret requires special care and jewelry. It is important to wear suitable jewelry to reduce the risk of damage to the teeth, and to ensure that the jewelry does not become embedded in the lip. Many people wear rings in their labret piercings, although a labret stud can also be used. Labret studs are designed with a wide plate which goes inside the mouth, and a screw-on attachment such as a ball or spike for the outside of the piercing.
Although the labret piercing has become much more common, it is far from socially accepted in many regions. Individuals with these piercings may have difficulty finding employment, and they may also battle with their dentists or doctors when they require medical care. People who are interested in the piercing should be aware of this, and they should also be committed to at least six weeks of healing time before taking the piercing out, to ensure that infection does not settle in.

text: "Hunt the edges," wrote Shirley E. Woods Jr. in his memoir Gunning for upland birds and wildfowl. This is sound advice if you want to get into grouse and woodcock while out hunting. In fact, I learned over the many seasons I hunted grouse and woodcock it is the premise on which successful upland gunning is founded. An edge is where two different types of wildlife habitat meet. Where three or more types of wildlife habitat meet is called a corner. These are the areas to hunt when you want to get into birds whether you hunt over a dog or not. I had this thought in mind Sunday morning, November 6th, the day before the opening of deer season, when I drove to pick up Akber, one of my newer hunting buddies, and his son Abbas who is ten years old. One of the pleasures of hunting for me is mentoring new hunters, sharing with them what I learned over the years and most importantly, guiding them to becoming safe and ethical hunters. Akber and I became hunting buddies three seasons ago if memory serves and this year his son Abbas expressed interest in coming along. I accompanied my father and uncle in the field when I was nine years old and enjoyed myself so I welcomed the opportunity to introduce Abbas to join us in the field. Continue reading

Karthigai Deepam celebration in Chennai
Karthigai Deepam is being celebrations are done in a very great manner in the Chennai by Chennai people.
Karthigai Deepam Celebration in Chennai
Chennai is celebrating Karthigai Deepam festival in a very grand manner. Karthigai Deepam festival is very famous among the Hindus and they believe that the Karthigai Deepam festival believe that it brings glory to the house. Karthigai Deepam is one of the oldest festivals celebrated by Chennai people.
Karthikai Deepam is a festival lights celebrated in TamilNadu in the month of Karthigai (Tamil Month). Karthigai Deepam celebrated on full moon day in the month of Karthigai which happen together with Krithikai star. This is an extension of Deepavali. Karthigai Deepam is celebrated especially in Thiruvannamalai. There is a story about this Deepam Festival.
Lord Shiva, Brahma And Lord Vishnu
Once Lord Shiva asked Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu to find out the exact location of his head and his feet. But it was not possible to find out the exact location for both of them. Lord Vishnu took the form of boar and delved in to the earth, Lord Brahma became a swan and flew in the sky. Lord Vishnu failed in his search and turned back. But Lord Brahma wanted to prove that he had seen the head of the Lord Shiva and took the help of the flower called thazhambu, because he learnt that had been floating down for thirty thousand years from the Lord Shiva's head. To prove his point Lord Brahma lied that he had got the flower from Lord Shiva's head and the flower also lied. Lord Shiva realized the falsehood and cursed him that there would never be a temple for Lord Brahma in this world and interdicted the use of the flower thazhambu in his pooja.
Then Lord Shiva took the form of light of fire on the hill of Thiruvannamalai. That is why, this festival is also known as Annamalai Deepam. On this day, a special torch is lighted on the zenith of the hill and which is visible for several kilometers.
Lord Muruga and his six faces
There is another story also about this. Lord Muruga ,son of Lord Shiva took the form of six babies in a lake " Saravana Poigai". On this day, all his six forms were united by his mother Parvathi . That is why he had six faces. Special poojas were also performed during this day to Lord Muruga.
In Chennai People clean the houses. In the evening, ladies draw rangoli(Kolam) in front of the house and place the oil lit lamps on it. Some are doing fasting also this day. Chennai Ladies make appam, Vadai and some sort of Urundai )pori Urudai) puffed rice and jaggery as neivediyam. The lamps are also first placed in the pooja and lighted. After the pooja they place the lamps in the different places in the house.
In Chennai lamps glow all over the streets which is nice to see. Ladies place the lamps near the doors and windows and balconies. In Tamil Nadu people celebrate Kaarthigai Deepam for three days. During the month of Karthigai, people lit the agal (oil lamp) daily in the evening times which is placed in the entrance of the door.
Ladies make a row of lamps in every house of Chennai. In Hindu festivals, Karthigai Deepam is a festival of TamilNadu and Kerala which is celebrated especially by Tamil and Malayalees throughout the globe.

Lum Harris
Chalmer Luman "Lum" Harris (born January 17, 1915 in New Castle; died November 11, 1996 in Pell City) was a right-handed pitcher, coach, manager and scout in Major League Baseball. He grew up in Gardendale and attended Mortimer Jordan High School.
Harris' playing career began with the Atlanta Crackers of the A1 Southern Association in 1937. His catcher that season was Paul Richards, who in 1938 became Atlanta's player-manager. Richards and Harris would form a decades-long association in baseball at the minor and major league levels.
Harris compiled a 35-63 record with a 4.16 earned-run average in 151 American League games with the Philadelphia Athletics and (briefly) Washington Senators from 1941-47. The remainder of his major league career would be spent working in tandem with Richards, initially as a coach with the Chicago White Sox (1951-54), Baltimore Orioles (1955-61), and Houston Colt .45s (1962-64). In each case he worked under Richards, who was either his manager, general manager, or (in Baltimore from 1955-58) both.
In 1965, Harris was promoted by Richards to manager of the newly rechristened Houston Astros, serving for the team's debut season in the Astrodome. It was actually his second major league managerial post: he had briefly managed Baltimore in September 1961 when Richards resigned to take the front office reins of the expansion franchise in Houston.
After Richards became vice president for baseball operations (in effect, general manager) of the Atlanta Braves of the National League during 1966, Harris followed as manager of AAA Richmond, and, then, from 1968 to the middle of the 1972 season, as manager of the big-league Braves. Harris led Atlanta to the first-ever National League West Division championship in 1969, but his Braves lost the National League Championship Series to the eventual world champion New York Mets in three straight games.
When the Braves slumped, Richards was fired during the 1972 season, and Harris was replaced as manager by former Braves third baseman Eddie Mathews. Harris' final major league managerial record was 466-488.
Harris was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1994.
Harris died of diabetes at age 81. He is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in West End.
Luman Harris Park in Gardendale is named in his honor.

Northern Ireland's police officers were warned to be extra-vigilant in the run-up to Saint Patrick's Day today after they were targeted in a bomb attack that narrowly avoided killing a passing family from then Philippines.
The bomb was left in the City Cemetery in west Belfast, by the Irish Republican community's Falls Road stronghold, and detonated near a police vehicle patrol late on Friday using a command wire.
Though targeting four officers in their vehicle, the blast damaged the car of a Filipino family, peppering it with shrapnel.
The one adult and three children aged 16, 13 and 11 inside were all badly shaken and treated for shock.
"This was not only a deliberate attempt to kill police officers but was an attack on the community of west Belfast, and it is only through good fortune that no-one, either police or civilian was seriously injured or killed," a police spokeswoman said on Saturday.
It was initially thought the device was thrown at the police vehicle, but further investigation showed it was detonated by a command wire, blowing masonry out of the cemetery wall.
The attack came just hours after a bomb was found nearby, having fallen off a vehicle and failed to explode.
Terry Spence, chairman of the Police Federation body that represents officers, said: "Police officers and the public must remain vigilant as it is the obvious intention of desperate dissident republicans to attract a headline in the run-up to Saint Patrick's Day," when people celebrate the island of Ireland's patron saint.
Dissident Irish republicans are violently opposed to the peace process and power-sharing between Northern Ireland's broadly Protestant, British unionist and Catholic, Irish nationalist communities.
"These terrorists will not succeed in their goal," Spence added.
Mainstream republicans Sinn Fein also blamed and condemned dissidents.
"This attack is a blatant disregard not just for lives of police officers, but also for safety of whole community in west Belfast," British Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said.
"It should be condemned by all right-thinking people," she said.
Northern Ireland unionist First Minister Peter Robinson and his Sinn Fein deputy, Martin McGuinness, are in Washington to meet senior members of US President Barack Obama's administration as part of the Saint Patrick's Day build-up.
Northern Ireland endured three decades of civil unrest between loyalist unionists who wanted the province to stay part of Britain and republicans who wanted it to join with the Republic of Ireland to the south.
The 1998 Good Friday peace accords largely ended the violence and paved the way for a devolved power-sharing government, although dissident republican groups opposed to peace are still active.

Armpit hair, zits, boobs, Chick-fil-A. . . yeah, you know where this is going. . . Adolescence, puberty and my weekend at the mall.
My two pre-teen daughters and I were on vacation for Spring Break and we missed our ritual shopping trip before Easter for nice Sunday dresses. The shopping bonanza usually covers the girls through any and all dressy occasions for the entire summer. By the next growth spurt, we already looking at Fall fashions.
Making up for lost time, we hit the after-holiday sales to find a nice, classy dress for each daughter that wasn't too babyish, wasn't too adult-ish, wasn't too casual or dressy or cold or warm. We walked for five hours.
"No, mom."
"No. Can I wear jeans all summer?"
This was proving harder than I thought. The girls were growing out of the children's department and the adult clothes didn't look right. Teenage stores were mostly t-shirts and jeans. Though I know that many children are allowed to wear jeans to church these days, my children are cursed with parents that want their children to dress nice out of respect for their environment, so on we walked. Finally, J.C. Penny's came to the rescue with simple sundresses.
But, what do sundresses require on growing little women? Strapless bras. My eldest got her first strapless bra which was exciting. She has been developing into a little woman lately and we have had all the conversations: the menstrual cycle (no, I don't hold back – much to their chagrin), acne, sweat, deodorant and anything else I could think might apply. And yet, I wasn't ready when my little girl-turned-woman swirled her new Spring frock, lifting her arms into the air.
"Oh my, I am going to have to teach you to shave your armpits – at least while we live here in America." Granted, we are 100% American where women shave their armpits and just about anything else that moves but I wasn't ready for inch-long armpit hair on my "little" pre-teen, who also just started wearing my size shoes, by the way.
Arriving back at home, after stopping by Target to purchase a new pack of razors, I decided I might need help. Googling "armpit hair," I arrived at several explanations for teaching an adolescent to shave her armpits. I found out that, as nothing is new under the sun, simple is best. Here are the steps we took:
- Wet and soap the hair under the arms.
- Pick up a relatively new razor, checking for any signs of rust or damage to the blade if already opened.
- Shave in short, brisk strokes in all directions. Armpit hair grows in every direction so shave up, down and across to get the cleanest, closest shave.
- Rinse blade to keep it from clogging.
- Rinse armpit to remove unwanted hair clippings.
- After drying thoroughly, apply a light coating of powder or moisturizer to prevent body odor without clogging the pores. Apply thin coat of deodorant.
Pre-teens don't need to know yet about waxing, hair removal creams and electrolysis, among other popular methods. Several sites I checked included proper care for those wishing to leave their armpits unshorn, such as using conditioner and trimming for neat appearance. I was looking for braiding techniques but none showed up in my search so I decided to stick with the shaving method of armpit etiquette.
Listening with rapt attention on the other side of the bathroom door, my youngest daughter, a ten-going-on-sixteen-year-old, inquired if she was old enough to shave her legs, since she had yet to develop armpit hair like her sister. We decided to wait when I noticed a long scratch from falling off her bicycle. I didn't want her shaving off the scabs. Ouch.
Think all you want that you are ready for your children to hit puberty. Every day will bring a new surprise. Enjoy the ride.

Ankle sprains are very common injuries. There's a good chance that while playing as a child or stepping on an uneven surface as an adult you sprained your ankle--some 25,000 people do it every day.
Sometimes, it is an awkward moment when you lose your balance, but the pain quickly fades away and you go on your way. But the sprain could be more severe; your ankle might swell and it might hurt too much to stand on it. If it's a severe sprain, you might have felt a "pop" when the injury happened.
A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn. If a sprain is not treated properly, you could have long-term problems. Typically the ankle is rolled either inward (inversion sprain) or outward (eversion sprain). Inversion sprains cause pain along the outer side of the ankle and are the most common type. Pain along the inner side of the ankle may represent a more serious injury to the tendons or to the ligaments that support the arch and should always be evaluated by a doctor.
You're most likely to sprain your ankle when you have your toes on the ground and heel up (plantar flexion). This position puts your ankle's ligaments under tension, making them vulnerable. A sudden force like landing on an uneven surface may turn your ankle inward (inversion). When this happens, one, two or three of your ligaments may be hurt.
A sprain can be difficult to differentiate from a fracture (broken bone) without an x-ray. If you are unable to bear weight after this type of injury, or if there is significant swelling or deformity, you should seek medical treatment from a doctor (MD or DO). This may be your primary care physician or pediatrician, an emergency department, or an orthopaedist, depending on the severity of the injury.
Tell your doctor what you were doing when you sprained your ankle. He or she will examine it and may want an x-ray to make sure no bones are broken. Most ankle sprains do not require surgery, and minor sprains are best treated with a functional rehabilitation program. Depending on how many ligaments are injured, your sprain will be classified as Grade I, II or III.
Treating your Sprained Ankle
Treating your sprained ankle properly may prevent chronic pain and instability. For a Grade I sprain, follow the R.I.C.E. guidelines:
Swelling usually goes down with a few days.
For a Grade II sprain, follow the R.I.C.E. guidelines and allow more time for healing. A doctor may immobilize or splint your sprained ankle.
A Grade III sprain puts you at risk for permanent ankle instability. Rarely, surgery may be needed to repair the damage, especially in competitive athletes. For severe ankle sprains, your doctor may also consider treating you with a short leg cast for two to three weeks or a walking boot. People who sprain their ankle repeatedly may also need surgical repair to tighten their ligaments.
Rehabilitating your Sprained Ankle
Every ligament injury needs rehabilitation. Otherwise, your sprained ankle might not heal completely and you might re-injure it. All ankle sprains, from mild to severe, require three phases of recovery:
Once you can stand on your ankle again, your doctor will prescribe exercise routines to strengthen your muscles and ligaments and increase your flexibility, balance and coordination. Later, you may walk, jog and run figure eights with your ankle taped or in a supportive ankle brace.
It's important to complete the rehabilitation program because it makes it less likely that you'll hurt the same ankle again. If you don't complete rehabilitation, you could suffer chronic pain, instability and arthritis in your ankle. If your ankle still hurts, it could mean that the sprained ligament has not healed right, or that some other injury also happened.
To prevent future sprained ankles, pay attention to your body's warning signs to slow down when you feel pain or fatigue, and stay in shape with good muscle balance, flexibility and strength in your soft tissues.

text: Playing catch was a neighborhood pastime. If you went out by yourself with your glove and ball, sooner or later, someone would show up and want to play. You might ring a doorbell to see if someone wanted to come out, but you would never call. Eventually, there would be enough kids for a game! They would rang in size, age and sex…it didn't matter, anyone could play on the team. I remember just standing in a grass field and smelling the glove waiting for my chance to show my stuff. All it would take is one catch. One catch. And that was as good as it gets.

This model was a pain to build (each of those spikes on the leg and the breast are individual pieces too tiny to easily handle by hand and too angled to easily handle with tweezers) but a lot of fun to paint. I am really happy with the finished result.

Madoff's relatives wrote the Bible.
I have been asked to explain this comment, so I will.
Think about the biggest ponzi scheme in the world: religion. You invest your "future†and, more importantly to the churches, your money based on the idea that at some point, after you are dead, you will gain your reward. Of course, if's there's is nothing after but death, that, I guess, is the reward you earned.
Madoff learned his lessons from the source, the "elders†who wrote the Bible. He just improved slightly, or so I guess he thought, on the ideas in the Bible and promised the rewards now.
He should have started a church, or a cult for the greedy bastards who actually believed they would get a 30% a year return, and he would have escaped punishment.

Saturday we went wine tasting to a small winery about half a mile south of Sherwood Inn, Cedar View Winery.
I recommend the winery. The people are friendly and seem to know what they are about. Just don't plan on keeping the glass that their website says is part of your $3.00 wine tasting fee:
The glass disappears the second the last tasting is done. Should you ask for the glass, you will be told: "We are running short on glasses. We don't do that anymore.†Ah well… we have plenty of glasses. They need to change their website and remove the sign from their wine room that promises the glass with the tasting. Personally, I think it's a stupid business decision to not give away the glass. When the bottles you bought are gone, and you want to remember the winery, there's/was always the glass with the name and address of the winery.)
We bought 6 bottles of their wine. Lou and Marie bought 4 bottles. About $200 worth of wine. But we still didn't get those god damn precious glasses.
Anyway, that is not the point of this story. We finished "tasting†about an hour earlier than expected, so Fujie suggested driving over and looking at the ranch where we used to live and where the kids were raised.
So, we did.
What a shithole. The house looks like it's falling down. The chicken houses are collapsing and much of the roofs look like they have blown away. Everything is in disrepair.
The yard is filled with trash. It looks like a chaotic junkyard. White trash heaven… Maybe white trash hell. Who can say?
However, the trees we planted look great, which I really don't understand. I sort of expected them to be dead or cut down.
Also, to make things even wierder, the Musson house and surrounding buildings, on the Southwest corner of Crawford and Jensen, are gone; like they never existed.
This was a very depressing experience which I will never repeat. Or, maybe I will. If I do, I will take my camera to document the mess.
Then we drove through Reedley by going up Buttonwillow where just before Manning Avenue some "rich†dick has built a big, ugly monster house and surrounded it with a cheesy chain-link fence with orange slats. Gag!
The houses on the corner of Buttonwillow and Manning, across from The Bear Club, have been replaced by a Rite-Aid. We turned right onto Manning and drove toward the college. It's sort of like driving through a ghetto and makes your wonder how you ever lived in such a dumpy area and never noticed how awful it is.
We had dinner at Cattlemens Restaurant in Selma. The place is "cowboy†but the food and service is excellent. Highly recommended.
The food saved the day.

Tips to Get You Started with Home & Office Organizing
Donate 4 Times A Year
Organizing home and office tips are ways to get you motivated to de-clutter. Start with donating on a regular basis. I recommend donating 4 times a year. Keep a donation box in a garage, basement, or a closet at all times. Once it is full drop it off to a donation center and start over. When you buy something new, drop a couple of older items in your donation box. This new habit will help control clutter and also help someone in need. Tax deduction receipts are an added bonus to donating.
Go Paperless
Go paperless people!! Most bills today are offered electronically. Bills can be viewed via email, online, or sent to an online bill pay with your bank. This helps reduce paper clutter. Time consuming filing is greatly reduced if you have online bill pay. You also save money if you pay your bills online. You do not spend as much money on checks or stamps, an added bonus to electronic payments.
Look Up/ Look Down
Are you having trouble finding space for your belongings? Look up and down in your closets, attic, basement, garage and cabinets. Valuable space is wasted if you do not utilize it. If you have trouble with visualizing a solution to your organizing problems then hire a professional organizer or a custom closet or cabinet installation company.
Change Your Old Habits
The number one cause of disorganization is a series of bad habits. Disorganized adults were most likely disorganized children at one time. Sure it is hard to change, but it is necessary to make a change if you want to be organized. I believe everyone can change, old and young. I think it is a little bit easier to change a set of old bad habits and turn them into some new good habits. I promise it is not that painful. It just takes 30 extra minutes a day of a new routine to make a huge difference in home organization.
Keep It Simple
Simplicity is the key to organization. So many people feel they need so many things to be happy. Things are just things. People are what matter in life. If you are overwhelmed with your life then maybe you need to simplify it. Less is more. When you have less, you are more likely to find what you need when you need it. You can start slowly while simplifying your life if it is really hard to let go. I guarantee the more you let go, the more empowered you will feel.
Custom Closets & Storage Solutions
Call Truorder or a custom closet company for help. Truorder can help point you in the right direction and work with your custom closet company to design the organized space you long for. Custom closets or storage spaces can help solve problem areas of clutter or disorganization. We are the "in between" helpers before and after custom closet or storage installation.

New food labelling regulations have been introduced, making it easier for people with food allergies to identify ingredients they need to avoid.
These new regulations mean that:
The Food Standards Agency are responsible for general food labelling, however, we enforce the legislation.
Most prepacked food must carry an indication of minimum durability. This is better known as either a best before date or a use by date. These dates must be marked clearly on the label. If this is difficult the manufacturer must state where the date can be found, for example, Best before: see date on lid.
It's an offence for an unauthorised person to change the date on a product. Manufacturers are the only authorised people to do this.
You shouldn't eat any food products that have passed their sell by date as it may not be safe to eat. Even if the food looks and smells fine, using it after this date could put your health at risk and cause food poisoning. It's an offence for food business operators to sell any product after its use by date.
Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 requires that a use by rather than a best before date is used on prepacked foods which are highly perishable and after a short period of time could be a danger to a person's health.
Foods that have to be stored at low temperatures to maintain their safety rather than their quality need to be labelled with use by dates. They'll have a short product life following manufacture, and consuming them after their use by date could cause food poisoning.
You'll usually find a use by date on food that goes off quickly, such as:
It's also important to follow the storage instructions on food labels, otherwise the food might not last until the use by date. Usually food with a use by date must be kept in the fridge.
Best before dates are usually used on foods that last a long time, such as:
Best before dates are more about quality than safety. It should be safe to eat food after the best before date, but the food won't be at its best. After this date, the food might begin to lose its flavour and texture.
A best before date will only be accurate if the food is stored according to the instructions on the label, such as 'store in a cool dry place' or 'keep in the fridge once opened'.
It's not an offence under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 to sell food passed it's best before date. However, it may be an offence under Section 14 of the Food Safety Order 1991 as the food may not be of the quality demanded by the purchaser.
The retailer is responsible for making sure that food sold is acceptable for the consumer as it's an offence to sell food not of the quality demanded.
Certain foods don't have to be marked with a use by or best before date.

My recent wedding in Cape Town was a dream come true. Getting married to the man of my dreams on a wine farm in beautiful South Africa was something I'd always dreamed of when I was a young girl. I was particularly happy with the way that Instabooth helped improve my wedding photo experience.
First of all, they were totally awesome and easy to work with before, during, and after the wedding. Olivia was so friendly and helpful along every step of the way. She set up the booth for my guests, explained how it worked, and even gave a brief demonstration.
However, she also had fun and even ended up dancing! I can safely say that I felt like Olivia was something of a friend after this event.
What was even more impressive was how well their printing service worked. My guests loved taking their own photos and printing them out. There were many fun and silly photos taken that night, and seeing them right away was a major bonus.
I also give them big props for being so easy to book. I simply got a hold of them and asked about my wedding date and how they could help. They set everything up, described payment to me, and worked with me to get everything done.
Anyone who is interested in booking a wedding with Instabooth should contact them immediately and book one. From my experience, they are the real deal when it comes to providing great instant wedding photos at fair prices.

I first posted this tutorial 5 years ago. It was a surprise hit on my blog. I took a break from blogging and refinishing. Here is a link to the original post from 2013. There are some really interesting comments. It is still an awesome tutorial and technique. I think I should do a giveaway!!! This Tutorial is simple. Faux mercury glass is beautiful on its own but wouldn't it be fun to do it in any color?
When I first found out how to do Faux mercury glass, my first question was how to do it in blue (blue glass is my not so secret obsession)??? I figured it out and I want to share it
If you only want to color your glass and skip the faux mercury fun I have a colored glass tutorial here. Or If you only want to do the faux finish follow this link.
You will need some clean glass pieces you want to transform, paper towels, a spray bottle, water and vinegar, Krylon Looking glass spray (very important you need this exact paint) and … wait for it. If you want colored glass get Pebeo Vitrea 160 in the color of your choice, and Pebeo Vitrea 160 thinner. Pebeo Vitrea it is a wonderful glass paint. I chose turquoise, which I am madly in love with.
You might have to order the looking glass spray and Pebeo Vitra 160 online I was lucky and found the Looking Glass spray at Walmart (you can also get that on amazon click for the link) but I had to order the Pebeo Vitrea 160 on Amazon. You might be thinking that you
will just use another glass paint. I tried that and I was never happy with the color. The Vitrea has an intensity that's just can't be beat. It is an intense color and completely transparent. I think it is worth the trouble.
- First, you need to color the glass. The hardest part of this is waiting for it to dry a whole 24hrs.
2) Mix with the Pebeo thinner and paint on your piece. I used a large brush and worked quickly. I found the best the results from painting on the outside of the piece. I tried I swirling it around on the inside with some thinner, as some others have recommended, but most of the color drained out. I had a much better result when I painted on the outside. So, go ahead, paint on the outside in a thin layer and let it dry for 24 hours. Then, if you would like it to be waterproof, bake it in your oven for 40 mins at 325. If you don't care if it is waterproof you can skip this step. Keep in mind this paint doesn't go on perfectly. You will probably have some streaks and unevenness in the color. To me, it doesn't matter but just a warning for you perfectionists out there. Also, It does not have to be perfect; The color will be covered with your faux mercury finish.
When you bake don't preheat your oven, bake at 325 for 40 mins and leave the glass in the oven until it's cool. That way, the glass doesn't experience a big temperature change and crack.
Now your glass is colored, time to get the Faux mercury look.
3) Clean your glass really well. Don't worry about your painted surface it can handle going through a dishwasher now. Your next step is should be done outside to avoid the paint fumes. Remember, this is spray paint.
4) Your next step is should be done outside to avoid the paint fumes. You will be using spray paint.
5) Mist you glass with a 50% water and vinegar solution from your spray bottle. Spray your glass piece so it has water bubbles. You might see other tutorials that say don't let your water run on the glass. I say let it run! The running water creates more texture and I say the more texture the better. The instructions on the Krylon looking glass will say spray on the inside, trust me spray on the outside. If you plan on to using it as a vase you will want to fill inside with water and if you spray it on the inside you will ruin your finish.
6) Spray the paint over your misted pieces. The liquid will prevent the paint from sticking. Leave it for a minute or two and blot with the paper towel. Then repeat until you get the look you want. You can choose to have it very transparent or add more layers to be more opaque. The outcome is gorgeous either way.
So that is – mist, spray, wait, blot, and repeat till you are thrilled. It's easy and fun. I don't think you can make a mistake. Finally something I can't screw up. So try it! let me know how it goes and share your results!! Until next time!

Yarn with curly bits
May 17, 2009 in Fibre, yarn | Tags: curls, Fibre, locks, mohair, plying, Spinning, wool | Leave a comment
Here is the next step towards my yarn from these batts I made:
I haven't done any yarn with curls before. I am very excited about how it will turn out, but not ironically excited enough to ply it yet. Perhaps today will be the day.
March spinning
March 23, 2009 in Spinning | Tags: plying, Spinning, wool | Leave a comment
I pulled these two batts from my stash yesterday and spun them up. I am so pleased with the results. It still kind of feels like magic to make yarn.
Here is the batt I started with:
Here is the single I had in the middle:
The colours on the real yarn are not quite that warm, I was playing with the colour settings on my camera, and that is what the camera thought they would look like because I told it it was a cloudy day.
Here is the bit of yarn I had when I tried to Navajo ply said single:
It was just too twisty and wrong, so I went with plying it with thread:
The colours on that picture are closer to the original. I am very excited to knit it up, but I really shouldn't start knitting anything new until I finish something.
Where I keep on spinning again
July 31, 2008 in Fibre, Spinning, yarn | Tags: alpaca, lazy kates, plying, Spinning, teal, yarn | 1 comment
I am quite pleased with myself and my yarn. I spun the roving and rigged myself up a lazy kate:
(It's a shoe box with knitting needles jabbed through it)
I plied the yarn, but as you can see I wasn't quite perfect on making the bobbins the same length. Can anyone tell me if there a fix for this that I don't know about?
I had a little trouble getting the feel for the plying at first, but by the end the yarn was beautifully balanced with no weird twistiness, and for what I want to use it for I don't think the mis-plied sections will matter that much (I am keeping my plans up my sleeve for now).
Here it is on the bobbin:
And off:
I am quite pleased with my results and have a bigger bag of the same stuff in a red colour way to work with in a little while after I try out a few more things. I fancy a matching beret and gloves out of that one as I think it will be enough.
