In the spring of 1865, Lorenzo W. Roundy, Jerad C. Roundy, Myron S. Roundy and William Ford, settled in upper Kanab in that part of the county now called Alton. Walter Smith, William Smith, Charles Partridge and their families, together with a few other families also settled here about this time. These pioneers built log cabins just west of the place where the Kane county dairy was afterwards erected. That fall the Roundy brothers returned to Centerville, Davis County, to get the rest of their families. Soon after they were gone, the remaining families at upper Kanab were called to strengthen lower Kanab. These settlers left everything and did as they were bid. Lorenzo Roundy and his families came on to Kanab a little later that fall.
John D. Parker, who was also one of these pioneers, was delayed on account of sickness, but started south from Levan, Juab county, the last of November.
On account of the hostility of the Indians along the Sevier river, he went by way of Fillmore, Beaver county, Toquerville, Rockville and Pipe Springs. He arrived at Kanab the third day of January, 1866, through three feet of snow. The snow has never fallen so deep in Kanab since that winter. The same evening Brother Parker arrived his little four year old son died of scarlet fever. Three days after the Parkers had nooned at Pipe Springs, Robert Whitman and James McIntyre were murdered by Navajo Indians.
The sad news of this terrible murder was written on an envelope by a herd boy who had escaped, and was brought to Kanab by a Piute Indian.
The people looked to L. W. Roundy as a leader, although he was not a bishop at that time. However, he called for volunteers to carry the message to President Snow at St. George. Byron D. Roundy and Oran Clark answered to this call and were soon equipped. They started from Kanab at 9 p.m. and reached St. George the next morning at 10 o'clock.
Byron Roundy afterward often said that it was the fear of that dark night's ride, expecting every moment to be surrounded by Lamanites, that caused him to be bald headed.
The bodies of the two murdered men were taken to St. George where they were cared for by loving friends.
That winter the people of Kanab fought savages on one side and death by scarlet fever on the other. John D. Parker buried two children that winter and L. D. Roundy buried one. The Smith family also lost one.
The four little graves lay due west from the north east corner of the old fort on the hill between two cedar trees.
In January a company of men were sent to Kanab from the settlement in Dixie to help guard the fort as the Indians were very hostile at this time. The fort was guarded night and day. However, every dark of the moon the Indians got their booty. The settlers were never molested at full moon. However, in every raid they made they succeeded in stealing cattle, horses and sheep. The men were unable to catch them, although once the savages were forced to leave their meet broiling on the coals in order to escape. Colonel Andrews told the men not to fire the first shot, and so to the regret of some, no Indians were killed.
In February of that year a little son was born to the wife of Charles Pinney in a dug-out. It proved to be as nice as any baby.
The first of March the settlers of Kanab were asked to leave and go to Long Valley to strengthen that place. It took them five days to travel the distance of fifteen miles. The teams were poor and the loads heavy. One oxen dropped dead on the Mt. Carmel hill when Mr. Parker, one of the company, took off the yoke.
The night they camped at Three Lakes a baby girl was born to the wife of Oran Clark, who was one of the express riders. Crops were planted as soon as they arrived at Mt. Carmel.
That spring the Berry boys and one of their wives were killed near Short Creek. Joseph Berry, when found, was leaning between the wheels and the wagon bed dead. Robert and the woman were lying dead on the ground.
An Indian brought the news to Grandma Berry, written on an envelope by William Berry, a brother of the victims, and who had gone to meet them.
The dead were taken to St. George and buried by sorrowing friends.
This same month, B. D. Roundy and Orley Bliss were called to go on a mission to the Missouri river to escort a poor company of immigrants to Zion with ox teams.
The last week in June, hardly three months after arriving in Mt. Carmel the final call came for the people living in Mt. Carmel and Long Valley to move to Dixie. The crops they had planted looked beautiful, but they made ready and were soon on wheels again.
The first day out, a little four year old boy of brother Spencer's of upper Long Valley fell from a horse and was run over by a wagon and killed instantly. The company stopped for a day to bury him beneath a large tree.
President Snow sent a company of men from the Dixie country to guard the people on the way. At Short Creek they stopped to water their teams, when Colonel Andrews saw two Indian chiefs, Charlie Howed and Coal Creek John, riding down the canyon. Colonel Andrews and L. W. Roundy met them at a little distance from the company. They shook hands and talked until the wagons were corralled and the women placed in them. All of a sudden, a shot was heard; one of the boys had laid his gun in the wagon and it had exploded. This caused a great deal of excitement among the company, as the nerves of everyone was strained to the limit. In the tumult it caused, William Berry got his gun and threatened to kill the two chiefs because he thought they had killed his brothers. It took four men, his two wives, and his mother, to calm him and to take his gun away from him. The tumult subsided. The Indians promised to go back up the canyon and let the company pass in peace. The men decided not to stop to eat, but everyone took a sandwich and were soon on the way again. As darkness began to hover around them, the captain, Andrews, discovered three flickering lights on top of the mountain in a triangular shape. Andrews was an Indian scout and knew the meaning of the fire signals of the Indians. He informed the company of the signals and advised them not to stop that night for fear that they might be massacred. So on they went. All the women who were able were asked to drive a team that night, so that the men and boys might guard the stock and teams. Several mothers drove teams that night with babes in their arms. By morning the company had reached Rockville unharmed.
They crossed the Virgin river near St. George where they camped three days to rest. Word was sent to L. W. Roundy to take his part of the company and go to Kanarra, Iron county, and help build up that village. The rest of the company were allowed to go to their former homes in the Dixie settlements elsewhere.
The Roundy company got to Kanarra the second of July just in time to celebrate the fourth of July. That fall President Snow took L. W. Roundy to Salt Lake City and ordained him bishop of Kanarra, which position he held until May 27, 1876, when he was drowned in the Colorado river.
In 1872 the author of this sketch was married to William Heber Roundy and with her husband and his brother Byron, returned to upper Kanab where permanent homes were established.
I still feel that I am a pioneer of the Kanab Stake of Zion.

Another year, another dollar… or something like that. It's time for an update on the 6 things I think I think for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) in the coming year!
1. Hybrid Cloud Computing
2012 Perspective: Hybridization WAS key in 2011 and I'm doubling down in 2012. If you've paid attention to the consolidation in the industry, you'd best do the same. The big boys are snapping up anything that smells like bridging the enterprise to the multi-tenant host. Look for this trend to intensify.
2013 Perspective: VMware buys DynamicOps. Red Hat buys ManageIQ. Cisco buys Cloupia. Consider the consolidation trend intensified. The big question for 2013 is what the big boys have in mind for the cool technologies they've acquired in 2012. Whatever they might have in mind, the signal from the customer is clear. Hybrid cloud computing is considered critically important to wide-scale adoption of cloud computing in general. As I highlighted earlier this year, as big as the cloud computing market is becoming it still pales in comparison to private IT operations. Hybrid cloud computing is correctly viewed as a technology tap to this underlying market.
2. Cloud Federation & Interoperability
2012 Perspective: I've spoken with some pretty big names in the business and scale is an issue with their regional plays in the market. The challenge in 2011 for cloud federation was the degree of difficulty associated with interoperability. There was much progress on this front in 2011 but I think before broad based federation goes from concept to reality there needs to be more plumbing. 2012 will be the year real interoperability tracks are laid as a foundation for scalable cloud federation.
2013 Perspective: We as an industry had the opportunity to lay down tracks for real cloud federation and interoperability at this time last year. What happened was rather disappointing. Basically, industry titans from OpenStack, Amazon, Citrix, and others all postured. I remember sitting in the crowd at GigaOm Structure when the first official shots were fired on the subject of API standardization. What could have been a wonderful opportunity to seize the moment and end vendor lock-in before it ever started in cloud computing, big vendors did what they do best. They opened up their respective Kimonos and bragged about the size of their case studies. What a (albeit entertaining) waste of time and opportunity.
Because we all anticipate the cloud market, particularly IaaS, growing at a serious CAGR in 2013 there will be growing customer pressure to allow the movement and billing transfer of workloads between independent cloud operators. The opportunity for a new or existing company to emerge with a solution to this problem will become significant in the coming year.
3. Cloud Ecosystem Enablement
2012 Perspective: VMware unveiled its plans to stitch together Vcloud operators at its big VMworld shindig, but this wasn't the only giant making big bets on the cloud ecosystem concept. Equinix, one of the world's largest data center operators, hatched is master plan for a 'Marketplace' of Platform Equinix Partners and Synnex, one of the most powerful IT Distributors in North America took a huge step with its Cloudsolv application and services portal. Watch what these three companies do in 2012 to drive ecosystem growth.
2013 Perspective: Dell, HP, Cisco, Arrow, Avnet, Telefonica, Singtel…just to name a few. Billions in unstructured cloud business potential spanning distribution, hardware and telecoms just waiting to be harnessed. The lure of these types of captive markets will push the envelope on cloud ecosystem enablement despite a big challenge encountered in 2012. That big challenge was the relative learning curve incurred when you cross-pollinate large singularly focused business units.
4. Emerging Cloud Communities
2012 Update: By the middle of the 2nd quarter I was beginning to worry about this prediction. Was I going a bit too far out on a limb? Then, bang! VMware announces the big deal with the NYSE. Wow. Talk about going big or going home. The NYSE community cloud has a lot of eyes on it. A large number of other vertical deals are hanging in the balance, hoping to learn what not to do when details of the NYSE project become more public. I think this VMware play will be a big success and in 2012, you will see many other big players follow suit.
2013 Perspective: Do you hear that sound? No? I didn't think so. There's no sound in a vacuum that is the lack of follow up from the big NYSE deal in 2011. No big pharma cloud. No big banking cloud. No big offshore financial cloud.
How come?
Would-be community cloud enablers in 2012 figured out what they needed to figure out, which they are hoping to do in 2013. What they need to figure out has nothing to do with the technology and everything to do with operational and contractual concerns. The commonality of vertical market integration resolves certain compliance risks, but it doesn't mean private IT operators are ready, suited or even capable of offering a legitimate outbound customer service. Ask any CFO or CEO of a publically traded company about the idea of taking on the liability risk created by a new service that, oh by the way, has nothing to do with existing strategy. At a minimum in 2013 look for new corporate structures to emerge in order to facilitate offering community clouds as a service.
5. Channelization
2012 Perspective: I am still a firm believer in the channel and I'm still banking my company's future on it. However, the Channel failed to capitalize on the cloud opportunity in 2011 the way I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, the needle definitely moved. But the cloud operators and the broader channel are still separated by an expertise gulf that is limiting how much cloud money flows via the intermediary. The investment from the IaaS providers continues to be there. Find me one IaaS services or software provider that doesn't showcase a channel program today. 2012 will see the gulf shrink and the channel heat up because Distribution will hit its stride and carry with it more evidence of the gold rush I saw last year.
2013 Perspective: The channel didn't emerge as the boon of cloud computing adoption in 2012, but it continued to make significant progress. Cloud Sherpas recently raised $40M on a bet that it had figured out the model to integrate cloud into the enterprise. That's not a small bet on the channel intermediary concept. There were other big wins in the market too.
In 2013 you will see vendors get very serious about forcing channel intermediaries to declare their allegiance. Programs are maturing and dollars are flowing inbound to support the intermediary to the customer. This is a sure sign that we are on the cusp of growing the cloud wave in a big way.
6. IaaS Futures Market
2012 Perspective: Spot market concepts made progress in 2011 but as expected were not able to truly capture the imagination of the market. However, the groundswell around commodity compute resource trading is gaining momentum. And in 2012 look for general progress in this area with a few players coming out of the woodwork to surprise some.
2013 Perspective: Fact – trading compute contracts is going to happen. If you trust nothing else I write, trust me on this.
As predicted, a few players came out of the woodwork on this. Specifically, the Eurex and Zimory (via TSystems) in Europe announced that they had formed a partnership to build a trading platform in 2013.
What is unclear is exactly how this is going to happen. How will the market be organized? Look for clarity to emerge in 2013 on this subject.
Since last year's 6.1 bonus prediction was such a hit (um, cloud brokerage, anyone?) I will keep with the new tradition. Here's my scoop: Keep an eye on the fall of old empires. The world economy is definitely not what it was two years ago, but neither are some of these tech titans of yesterday:
Cloud Computing – the agent of change – can mean rebirth or extinction for some of the biggest companies to dominate the tech landscape in the last 30 years. Look for significant strategic moves by some of the giants as they posture for survival in the new era.
Have a great 2013!

Dynamics of Demand for Index Insurance: Evidence from a Long-Run Field Experiment
This paper estimates how experimentally-manipulated experiences with a novel financial product, rainfall index insurance, affect subsequent insurance demand. Using a seven-year panel, we develop three main findings. First, recent experience matters for demand, consistent with overinference from small samples. Second, spillovers also matter, in the sense that the recent payout experience of village co-residents affects insurance demand about as much as one's own recent payout experience. Third, the spillover effect decays as time passes while the effect of one's own experience does not. We discuss implications of this analysis for commercial sustainability of this complicated but promising risk management technology.

There is a big whopping achievement I want to report. It has been an entire year in the process. It would not have taken so long if I would have really knuckled down to do it. It probably would have only taken three months. I finished typing up my Great Grandmother's journals! Well, there are only three years worth, 1961-1963. I have been told there are more, many more, but nobody seems to know where they are. Well, actually I have been told they are located in the missing trunk that I reported on here some months back. I don't know if this trunk really holds all these treasures, of if it is to blame for the loss of family priceless jewels. I hope someday we can find out. The journals amounted to roughly the equivalent of 120 typed pages. Yea, I know, it doesn't sound like much, but it was a long process. I really enjoyed the walk through time. The death of my Great Great Grandmother is in there although a small, undetailed account. The assassination of President Kennedy was another interesting read. While she records no emotions on the death of her mother, for days afterward she is sickened by the assassination. She comments seeing Mr. Oswald being shot by Mr. Ruby and how horrible that felt to her.
I learned quite a bit about myself in the process. Every week contains some reference to my Grandparents, Norwood and Colleen Jonas. Sometimes it is as common as every day for a week. There are references to operations on my Grandmother, Colleen and her having what was believed to be a cancerous mole removed. There are references to my own mother losing her finger, which story I have also included in past postings. Grandma Lillian references babysitting often my Aunt Jackie.
All in all, I gained a greater testimony of daily journal entries. Her example is powerful. The most mundane of activities are in some ways completely foreign to us 40 years later. She visit teaches 10 (!) different households every months the entire three years. What is more, she comments about it the beginning days of nearly every month, meaning it was done early and regularly. It is strange to hear of the chickens being killed for Sunday dinner. That is something you never hear of someone just deciding to kill the chicken for dinner that evening. Telephone calls are still referred to as a novelty. The insurance was incredibly cheaper. I don't know of anyone who mops the whole house every Saturday. I don't know anyone who regularly bakes several loaves of bread and puts up literally dozens of jars of goods every fall.
So I am glad that is completed. I will return these three journals to my Aunt Lillian when I am visiting Utah in the beginning of April.
This week has been Amanda's Spring Break but it hasn't been much of a break. She has been going to all these different schools telling the children how to take care of their teeth.
This week I was informed we found the marriage date and place for my Great something Grandparents. William Sharp and Mary Ann Bailey Padley were married at Laurel Loup, Nebraska Territory 10 Jul 1853. Leanne Maynes got a copy of the divorce papers which gave the information. I am glad to have a copy of the papers and the marriage date.
I also applied to George Mason University Law School this week. That leaves only William and Mary to apply to. Their deadline is the 1 of July, but I hope to get it in within the month. No point of waiting and have it surprise me the day before. So far I have applied to Washington & Lee, University of Virginia, and George Washington. I didn't even see the point of applying to University of Richmond. They required several additional documents and I don't have any desire to go there. I am not impressed with them at all. I will tell you, it is an expensive process applying to these schools! Anywhere from $70 to $90 a school! I will have to make sure I save some money for applying this coming year. If I apply to 10 schools, and they each charge that range, that is $700 to $900! The good thing is some of them do not charge. LSAC does for the report to send to them, but that is only $12 per school. That is much more feasible.
Temple cards continue to trickle in from all over the world. I have forgotten where so many of these cards go. I have to leave it completely in the hands of the people who have them to return them. I got some from a lady a month or two back from Seattle! I wrote to her asking where she got them from. She gave me the name of a woman who I did not know so the chain is longer than I have the capacity to follow in some instances. This week I received about 30 completed cards that were first baptized in 2002. I don't have many cards that old out there anymore. But they still are! I fear some cards may have been lost forever. I hope not.
Last week I taught the first lesson of the latest string of family history classes. It went very well. I am excited for this class and group of students. They all came prepared and have actually done some work. I don't have to try to light the fire of family history in them, they already have it.
Time to sign off. Life goes well. Just wish I didn't have to sleep. How much more could I accomplish in a day!?

Phillies get Lincoln from Blue Jays, add Nieves
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies used 27 pitchers last season, 25 if emergency appearances from Casper Wells and John McDonald are ignored.
The lesson: an organization can never have enough arms.
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies used 27 pitchers last season, 25 if emergency appearances from Casper Wells and John McDonald are ignored.
The lesson: an organization can never have enough arms.
The Phillies added another arm Tuesday night, when they announced they had acquired right-hander Brad Lincoln from the Blue Jays for catcher Erik Kratz and left-hander Rob Rasmussen. Lincoln has made 97 appearances in four seasons in his big league career, which began in Pittsburgh. He has posted a 4.66 ERA, although he spent much of 2013 in Triple-A Buffalo as he battled command problems.
"We've always liked Brad Lincoln's arm," Phils general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Wednesday morning. "He's gone back and forth as a starter and reliever. We think he's going to be somebody that can really help us in our bullpen. It's a matter of him getting back into that niche."
The trade explains the Phillies agreeing to terms with catcher Wil Nieves, which sources confirmed following the initial CBSSports.com report. Amaro declined comment on Nieves but said, "We're trying to create some depth there."
Presumably, Nieves will be Carlos Ruiz's backup, although Amaro and manager Ryne Sandberg are quick to praise Cameron Rupp, who spent much of last season in Triple-A. Nieves hit .297 with a .690 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) in 206 plate appearances last season with the D-backs. He has a .597 OPS in his 10-year career, but is known for his defensive capabilities.
Lincoln, 28, averaged 9.9 strikeouts and 2.7 walks per nine innings with Buffalo, but 7.1 strikeouts and a troubling 6.3 walks per nine innings with Toronto. Before last season, he has averaged 6.8 strikeouts and 2.6 walks per nine innings.
"He had some issues with his command last year," Amaro said, "but I don't think that's his MO, typically. We think he's a good arm. We're trying to create some depth in our 'pen."
The Blue Jays have plenty of depth in the bullpen, which made Lincoln expendable. He also had run out of options, which is something to remember as the Phils finalize their Opening Day roster in March.
The Phillies hope Lincoln provides depth for a struggling bullpen short on experience, having finished 14th in the National League with a 4.13 ERA. Closer Jonathan Papelbon (527 career appearances) is expected to anchor the 'pen, but he has experienced a dip in velocity and strikeouts. Setup man Mike Adams (386) will try to come back from right shoulder surgery -- Amaro said they cannot expect him to be ready by Opening Day, although they are hopeful -- while left-hander Antonio Bastardo (208) will try to prove himself following a 50-game suspension for using a performance-enhancing substance.
Following them is a host of relievers that includes Michael Stutes (79 career appearances), Jake Diekman (77), Justin De Fratus (76), Jeremy Horst (72), B.J. Rosenberg (44) and Phillippe Aumont (40).
"We have to have confidence they're going to continue to improve," Amaro said about his collection of young relievers. "But at the same time, if there's a way we can improve our club, we can't just stop doing it. We've been surprised at times with some of these guys, particularly a couple years ago with Stutes and Bastardo. On the flip side, we've been disappointed, which is part of the growing process when it comes to the bullpen and particularly young bullpen guys. Some guys year to year can make it click. And other guys just don't ever get it."
Amaro said they have interest in several players recently non-tendered by their former teams. Relief pitchers include Ryan Webb, John Axford and Wesley Wright.
"We've made several calls to quite a few of those free agents," Amaro said. "We'll see how it pans out. I think it's still very fresh. Whenever this happens to players, typically they're surprised by it. So they're just getting into the marketplace. Our job is to try to make sure guys know we have interest in them."
Kratz hit .230 with 18 homers and 52 RBIs in 120 games over three seasons with Philadelphia. The Phils acquired Rasmussen from the Dodgers in August for infielder Michael Young. He went 3-11 with a 4.11 ERA in 28 games with Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Albuquerque.

Alliance for Women in Media ( http://www.allwomeninmedia.org)--formerly American Women in Radio and Television
We are a group of influential women and men in all forms of media (radio, television, film, web-based) who work to amplify and celebrate the strength and influence of women in media. With a 60 year legacy as a champion of the advancement of women, our organization (formerly known as American Women in Radio and Television) has now adopted a new name, Alliance for Women in Media, to better reflect the power of the diversity of our membership and the value of collaborative partnerships in achieving our strategic objectives.
We hold an annual signature event, The Gracies (http://www.thegracies.org), to celebrate and honor programming created for, by and about women, which attracts over 1,000 luminaries in media and entertainment.
Our target audience are thought-leaders and progressive women in media (think Katie Couric, Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey). In addition to individual powerhouse women, we partner with organizations such as Dove, AT&T and Ford, and we are expanding our global reach to include influencers around the world.
We are looking for a logo to fully represent who our association is: not just a group of women in radio and television, but THE powerhouse organization that inspires leadership and spurs action across all forms of media.
Here are a few requirements for this project:
-"Women in Media" should be dominant/"Alliance" should be secondary
- Need to have a graphic mark--not just a type treatment. This mark will be used stand alone, in addition to the full name in various places.
- Mark needs to be compact and contained and be easily implemented into all forms of social media (Twitter, Facebook, IPhone apps, etc.)
- Can use the W and M as a mirror image if appropriate.
-We do not want any traditional media icons included (megaphone, radio buttons, etc.)
-Primary color should be red to mirror our signature event, The Gracies (http://www.thegracies.org)
Think creatively! Our organization is comprised of some of the most creative and powerful women and men in all facets of media and we need a logo that represents them.
We will need both vector files (.eps) and .jpg files with PMS colors and font names specified.

Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Surprise Jacket in Stockinette Stitch
Specifics of sweater shown in photo:
Finished Chest Measurement - 19½" (buttoned)
Length - 11½" from shoulder seam to bottom of waistband
Gauge - 5 sts & 6½ rows per inch
Yarn used - Worsted Weight; about 5 ozs (143 g), 282 yds (258 m)
These NOTES are posted here with permission of Meg Swansen of School House Press, holder of the Copyright of the Original pattern by Elizabeth Zimmermann.
Original Pattern Copyright © 1968 by Elizabeth Zimmermann
Stockinette Version NOTES Copyright © 2007 by James G. Davis
Materials: Original BSJ pattern available from Schoolhouse Press; any yarn and needles* you require for desired size; 2 split-ring markers (or coilless safety pins); 2 large stitch holders or waste yarn.
*I normally use either 24" or 32" circular needles
The beauty of the original pattern is that you can use any size needles and yarn to adjust the desired/needed finished size without making ANY changes to the pattern. This should work for the stockinette version also.
Stitches I used:
Knit Row Double Decrease (kdd): knit to within one st of marker, slip next 2 sts together knitwise, knit next st, pass the 2 slipped sts over last st made
Purl Row Double Decrease (pdd): purl to within one st of marker, slip next 2 sts together purlwise through back loops, purl next st, pass the 2 slipped sts over last st made
Make 1 Left-leaning (M1L): make e-loop on Right Hand needle in such a way that the Front strand leans to the left
Make 1 Right-leaning (M1R): make e-loop on Right Hand needle in such a way that the Front strand leans to the right
Notes on Stitches used:
Since the decreases will be on the back part of the sleeve, you can make your double decreases any way you like. I worked them as described because I wanted to keep the center stitch on the top - and I like the effect! :o)
When working into the M1L on the following row (whether knit or purl), you will need to work into the back of the stitch so that it will twist properly and avoid any "hole" that will spoil the continuity of the stockinette stitch.
The theory here was to work 4 stockinette rows for every 6 garter rows. Therefore, in order to keep the proper angles needed, you will work 3 decrease (or increase) rows, then a "plain" purl row (except as indicated) - up to the "extension" part. When the extension is complete you will finish in Garter stitch as for the Original pattern.
Cast on number of sts required using long-tail cast-on and mark sts as stated with split-ring markers (place markers Around sts indicated).
Start by working decrease rows:
Knit Row 1 (Right Side) making kdd as described at each of the 2 markers
Purl Row 2 (Wrong Side) making pdd as described at each of the 2 markers
Knit Row 3 same as Row 1
Purl Row 4 without making decreases
Repeat these 4 Rows (making sleeve fullness increases on Row 7) until you have decreased to number of sts stated in pattern (you will have just finished a knit row), then work 1 more "plain" purl row. You now have 30 rows.
Now begin working increases:
Row 31: *Knit to marked st, M1R, k1, M1L, Repeat from * once, knit to end
Row 32: *Purl to marked st, M1L, p1, M1R, Repeat from * once, purl to end
Row 33: same as Row 31
Row 34: purl across without making increases
Repeat last 4 rows (making back fullness increases on Row 37) until you have increased to number of sts stated in pattern (you will have just finished a knit row), then Bind Off for neck edges at beginning of next 2 rows while also continuing increases. Again, you've just finished a knit row. You now have 49 rows.
Work 5 more rows as follows:
Work 1 "plain" purl row, *work 1 Knit row increasing at marked sts, work 1 "plain" purl row, repeat from * once. Make sure you have number of sts stated in pattern. Do Not Cut Yarn!! Leave it "dangling"! :o) You now have 54 rows.
With Right Side facing and starting at beginning of row, place sts up to (but NOT including) marked st onto holder or waste yarn. With new yarn, knit marked st and all sts across to and including next marked st and remove markers. Place remaining sts on holder or waste yarn. You've just worked Row 1 of the "extension" (or lengthening) of the BSJ. Continuing in Stockinette stitch, work 13 more rows ending with a purl row and cut yarn. You now have 14 rows of extension.
(Quick Note: I like to use waste yarn and just knit the sts directly from it when I need to, rather than transferring them to a spare needle then knitting them. However, feel free to work the next part however you wish!)
With Right Side facing, return to "dangling" yarn and knit across sts on holder or waste yarn. Pick up 10 sts from side of extension just made (3 sts for every 4 rows), placing marker around Last st picked up. Knit across extension sts and pick up 10 sts along other side of extension, placing marker around First st picked up. Knit remaining sts from holder or waste yarn. Make sure you have number of sts stated in pattern!! :o)
Next Row (Wrong Side): Knit across.
Finish in Garter stitch according to Original pattern, working increases at markers on Right Side rows ONLY and making buttonholes where indicated. Bind Off as pattern states.
For Sleeve Cuffs:
With Right Side facing, pick up sts along cuff edge (from end of row to the "point" made by the decreases) and work in Garter st until you have a total of 3 or 4 ridges on the Right Side (Including the ridge created by the long-tail cast on) and Bind Off in purl on the Right Side. Repeat for other sleeve cuff.
Sew up sleeve/shoulder seam as shown in Original pattern.
For Crew Neck (quickest and easiest):
With Right Side facing, pick up sts around entire neck edge and work in Garter stitch (decreasing in "corners" as needed to keep work flat) until you have 3 or 4 ridges on the Right Side. Bind Off in purl on the Right Side.
For Shirt Collar (I LOVE this one!):
(NOTE: Keep in mind that this collar will be folded over, therefore the Right Side of the BSJ is the Wrong Side of the collar!)
With Wrong Side of BSJ facing and starting from 2nd ridge (after stockinette), pick up sts around neck edge ending at 2nd ridge on other side of neck.
Row 1 (Wrong Side of collar): Knit across
Row 2 (Right Side of collar): k1, M1, knit across to last st, M1, k1
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have 2 or 3 ridges on Right Side of collar. On next Right Side row, work as for Row 2, increasing 5 or 6 sts evenly spaced across back of neck area only. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until collar is desired length. Bind Off in purl on the Right Side.

- Desiree said...
I'm confused about the increases before the cuff. Is it 9 per side (18 total)? The "math" on the original pattern just doesn't work out. I can't get how you get from 160 stitches to 90 within 27 decreases. Thanks!
- October 12, 2007 at 6:09 AM
- Pandaman said...
Hi Desiree,
Yes, you will increase 9 sts on each side (total of 18 sts) for the sleeve fullness above the cuff. The math really does work out when you consider that there are actually 22 decrease rows with 4 sts being decreased on each. 22 rows X 4 decrease sts each = 88 sts decreased. Now, add the additional 18 sts to the original cast on and you have 178 sts. 178 - 88 = 90. Hope this helps! :o)
- October 13, 2007 at 3:54 AM
- Desiree said...
You are awesome. For some reason, my brain was dead yesterday. I kept figuring 22 x 4 to be 44. Wow..and that was with absolutely no wine in my system. I must have been tremendously tired.
I'm so glad I did it correctly! Thanks so much for your help!

What size needles did you use with your worsted weight yarn?
Thank you for these adaptations. I have tried and frogged several times to do a stockinette BSJ and now I will try again and hopefully not have to frog it.
- November 5, 2007 at 12:37 PM
This is a wonderful sweater.
So many sweaters only look good for a girl. This one is "boyish" as you said, but I also think it would be fine for a girl in the right colors/yarns.
You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you sooo much for posting this! I haven't gotten around to knitting a BSJ yet but thought I would have to give one a try in garter stitch before figuring out how to do it in stockinette; you saved me a ton of work!!
Thank you for your work and for sharing so generously.

I just knit my first BSJ out of handspun and thought a stockinette BSJ using my handspun would be great! And then today, I found this blog!!!
Thank you!
- October 27, 2008 at 9:03 AM
This is my first ever joining an online group and i thought i would find it boring and confusing and be better off just knitting another BSJ instead... Finding these instructions and all the encouraging comments is way cool. i look forward to sharing this with my knitting daughters. Thank you, Panda Man.
- October 29, 2008 at 5:59 AM
Yea! Thank you for sharing your expertise! I'm off to cast-on :-)
- November 3, 2008 at 6:13 PM
Yea! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
And thanks to Meg Swansen for allowing you to publish this. I have the original pattern but prefer stocking stitch.
I'll be happy to knit one for charity too. In fact that's about all I knit for these days.

Your BSJ is beautiful!
- February 8, 2010 at 1:31 PM
I just found this knitted version of EZ's BSJ and have started making it because I'm not a garter stitch fan. Is it possible to post the your comments/corrections on the "making sleeve fullness increases on Row 7" in your original pattern? It would be most helpful there rather than searching through your blog,

Thank you so much for this -- I do not like doing garter stitch (even though I like the look), and I am so much faster at stockinette. I'm going to try it right away!
- June 23, 2011 at 6:14 PM
- Becky said...
I've made several (3) BSJ's in garter st and decided to give your pattern a try since I prefer stockinette st. I've had to rip it out 4 times, and have finally given up. I cannot get the st count and decreases to come out correctly. I think I must be placing the markers incorrectly after I do the decreases. Your patter does not address when, how or where to move the markers when doing the decreases and increases, so I'm guessing that is where I'm messing up. Any help would be much appreciated!!! TIA!
Kindest Regards, OM girl
- November 10, 2011 at 12:36 PM
Thank you so much for this version. I do have a question, How many sts do you cast on to begin? Is it the same number as in the original BSJ, or have i missed the instructions here?
- January 3, 2012 at 6:24 AM
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern! I discovered it on Ravelry and now it's also in stockinette. Can't wait to start!

- Harrow Knitter said...
I have the original pattern and have become confused regarding the neck shaping where it says 'at 152 sts decrease by 5 next 2 rws,when there are 158 work on centre 90. But if you are taking 10 away from 152 would you not have 142sts?
- May 7, 2012 at 9:15 AM
Harrow Knitter - yes you will end up with 142 sts after the decrease at the neck, but you will continue to increase in the rows to come till you get to 158 sts.
Hope this helped.
- June 19, 2012 at 1:25 PM
I just finished my first BSJ from the original pattern, and I really struggled with it. I did find a row counter on the web, which helped me tremendously.
On my BSJ, I added a 1x1 rib collar and a 1x1 rib cuff on the sleeves in a contrasting color. I made the cuffs about 3 inches long, so they can be folded up or down, depending on the length of the baby's arms. It's for charity, so I wasn't too concerned about gauge & used up yarn from my stash.
I like the look of the stockinette version much better. I think the addition of the collar really finishes it off. I'm really looking forward to trying your instructions.

How many stitches did u cast on?
Doesn't say any number at all?
Please help

Hi Cat24,
In order to work this adaptation of the BSJ, one must have the original pattern. Because the original is still under copyright (and per my agreement with the copyright holder), I cannot post any of that pattern. However, you can purchase the pattern at schoolhousepress.com Hope this helps.

Hi Cat24,
This is for the knit pattern. As far as I'm aware, there is no "official" crochet version. However, a Google search yielded this page: http://mrsfife.wordpress.com/ezs-baby-surprise-jacket-modified-for-crochet/ This seems to be a very good crochet adaptation, though there are quite a few. Hope this helps. :)

Amazing...This is an artful retake on a classic! Thank you for your generosity in posting this... Looks like I'm not the first to say this, but heartfelt nonetheless ❤

I prefer the crochet pattern, as I don't knit a lot, but I do know how to though!

I love the BSJ, but am not confident about the stockinette directions. Math is NOT my forte. Do you know if anyone has done a line by line version, as in found in the booklet for the BSJ?
Thanks ever so much.

I've only just discovered Elizabeth Zimmermann's marvellous pattern. I've already done two jackets in garter stitch and they are beautiful. This version is terrific Pandaman, I get sore wrists with the repetition of garter stitch so doing the purl rows in between helps ease the strain. Thank you so much.

Just reading through your instructions with Schoolhouse Press pattern in front of me. You say to repeat rows 1-4 [with decreases] until 'You now have 30 rows'. On my instructions the decreases finish at row 44 not 30. Am I misreading something? Apart front this hiccup I can't wait to start!
- August 8, 2017 at 8:48 AM
I've sorted out my mistake - 4 stockinette to every 6 garter stitches. Can't wait to start. Thanks for pattern.
- August 8, 2017 at 9:02 AM
Wow! Thanks so much for adding a classy touch to this much loved pattern.
- January 13, 2018 at 11:48 AM
I've made a bunch of these since I discovered the classic BSJ in 2018. When it comes time to work the extension, I just slip (purlwise) the front stitches to the other tip of the circular needle and only work the center stitches. Upon completion of the extension, I reslip the front stitches back and continue knitting as per the pattern. Also, I use a slender dpn to help pick up the side stitches.

Gorging on Shakespeare in 2012
This year, 2012, is probably the biggest year for William Shakespeare in England since his death. Two of the UK's biggest cultural institutions, the BBC and the Royal Shakespeare Company, have teamed up with the World Shakespeare Festival to provide a huge Shakespeare tapestry covering the country in the media and on stages in Stratford, London, Newcastle, Birmingham, Wales and Scotland.
I wrote about the Festival in September and the events are now well underway. Thousands of artists from around the world are taking part in almost 70 productions, plus supporting events and exhibitions.
The RSC's main contribution to the festival is a production of Julius Caesar, set in the world of African politics and directed by the Gregory Doran, the RSC's artistic director designate. It opens on 28th May, for one week, then moves on to other venues before opening in London in August, during the height of the tourist season, so all you American visitors should make sure that you take it in.
From time to time the BBC films a stage version of one of the RSC's productions. Although they are films of stage performances those responsible use all the most modern techniques available to the medium of television. They have just completed the filming of Julius Caesar, which you'll be able to see towards the end of June on the BBC through a digital tv service provider.
The producer, John Wyver, kept a diary of the filming. It makes fascinating reading and those who are interested in the minutia of what such an undertaking involves should read his blog. I can't wait to see the result!
As for the BBC, they are going all out this year. Their contribution to the 2012 Shakespeare jamboree is a celebration across TV, radio and the internet of the life and work of Shakespeare. During this month I have found it impossible to avoid something about Shakespeare whenever I have turned on my radio or TV set. Not that I wish to avoid Shakespeare, of course. If one wanted to follow it all it would be a full time job, though. The British Museum is also part of it with their wonderful series of short essays by Neil Macgregor, the Director of the Museum, in which he looks at the world through the eyes of Shakespeare's audience by exploring objects from that turbulent period. The BBC's Shakespeare Unlocked programme can only be described as a feast. There is so much that it would be impossible to digest it if one wanted to see it all as it's broadcast.
We are indeed fortunate, in these days of watch-on-demand television, that we can go to the BBC website and browse for the programmes we want and watch them online at one's own pace. I shall be watching them for months to come.

Ugandan's Top Business Prize
All 10 own and operate enterprises that have benefited from the business development services of the EMPRETEC Centers. Their enterprises range from small handicrafts to garments manufacture and food processing, and also managing hotels and running web portals.
[International: Business]
A Ugandan joined nine other women from around the world as recipients of a top entrepreneurial award.
Sapphira Nyabunwa won second prize in the EMPRETEC program entrepreneurial excellence award that is part of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), headquartered in Geneva.
Jordan's Sana Burgan won the top honor. Others awarded were: Augustine Hammond (Ghana, Third Prize), Torrado Elba Rosa (Argentina), Léa Edith Medji Dédé (Benin), Paola Borges Barcellos Tucunduva (Brazil), Messeret Belihu (Ethiopia), Pauly Apea-Kubi (Ghana), Irene Bacchus (Guyana) and Emelda Nyasha Nyamupingidz (Zimbabwe).
All 10 own and operate enterprises that have benefited from the business development services of the EMPRETEC Centers. Their enterprises range from small handicrafts to garments manufacture and food processing, and also managing hotels and running web portals.
Success did not come easy. They had to overcome red tape, secure bank loans, and convince employees, suppliers and customers that they have a product or service of value.
Plus there were unexpected hardships: fire destroyed Paola Tucunduva's laundry but she rebuilt it and now has 235 employees in Brazil. And there were barriers to entry: "I registered as a supplier for the CWC Cricket World Cup," says Irene Bacchus who makes craft souvenirs in Guyana. "However, during the event my products did not get promoted. Marketing of the products could only be done through a franchise holder."
And difficulties in getting foreign currency: "Venturing outside my local market boundaries enabled me to get the foreign currency I need for the raw materials," says Emelda Nyamupingidz, a producer of candles and polish in Harare. "I have not allowed the current hardships in Zimbabwe to be a deterrent but instead I see it as a challenge."
Quick thinking is a factor in their success: "I borrowed $100,000 from a bank to acquire machinery to produce towards satisfying an export order," says Pauly Apea-Kubi, a fruit processor in Ghana. But the processing took long and the order was cancelled. "I was left with a product but the market had been taken away and I had a loan to repay. I quickly found customers in the local market for the product that was originally for export." She now exports to Senegal, the U.K. and the U.S.
Staying ahead of the competition is also important: "My idea is an entrepreneurial idea and it has been copied by another company. This has affected me a great deal by decreasing my client base and lowering my income," says First Prize winner Sana Burgan who launched the first web portal in Jordan to help patients wanting to travel to Jordan for medical treatment. "To solve this problem, I promoted new offers to attract customers to my business and I stayed in business outlasting my rivals that finally closed their business leaving me the only company offering these medical information services."
The businesses have social value: Second Prize winner Sapphira Nyabunwa's laundry in Kampala employs youth, including the disadvantaged and school dropouts. Léa Medji Dédé plans to engage 20 handicapped people on her sales force for marketing the juice she produces from the natural baobab grown in Benin.
Vision and ambition are most important: "My vision is to establish a Fashion Design Finishing School in Accra. This is to bridge the gap that exists between the existing basis/intermediate level institutional training and the huge career and job opportunities that the international market offers," says Third Prize winner Augustine Hammond. She should know: her garment company, Jem Afrik Creations, grew from one worker to 50, with subcontracts and representatives in the U.S., the Caribbean and Southern Africa.
The EMPRETEC Centers help promising entrepreneurs build their business skills and set up enterprises. The name Empretec is a Spanish acronym for emprendedores (entrepreneurs) and tecnología (technology). The brainchild of UN staffer Julian Gomez, it was first initiated in Argentina in 1988.
EMPRETEC Centers operate in 27 countries, and in some countries, like Brazil and Nigeria, there are more than one. The program assists more than 80,000 entrepreneurs.
The Women in Business Award, managed by Fiorina Mugione, Chief of UNCTAD's Enterprise Policies and Capacity Building Section, was overseen by technical experts and a panel of judges (12 women and 8 men, of whom I am one).
The top three winners received travel grants to visit R&D institutions or to use for training, seminars or networking events. The awards are provided by UNCTAD and the African Technology Development Forum.
One of the aims of the award is to promote awareness among women of the rewards of entrepreneurship. "Women participants in the EMPRETEC training programs are highly motivated and successful but make up only 30 percent of the entrants," says Fiorina Mugione. "We would like to see this award as a boost for women."

How could a teacher go missing in a small Georgia town? (Jason Samuels, Dateline producer)
Retracing Tara's last known moments and the history of her life make up the meat of our Dateline NBC report but being on the ground, walking and talking to the residents of Ocilla makes this case so puzzling. As one woman we interviewed told us "in Ocilla people know where you are at all times." So then how is it possible that in this town of a little more then 3,000 people a young woman could have just literally vanished without a trace? Canvassing the area around Tara's house makes it clear that if someone abducted Tara against her will, the neighborhood would have seen or heard something. At night the blocks around Tara's house are so quiet — it seemed as if even the crickets whispered.
Although authorities have not named any suspects, many folks in town told us off-camera in their minds there is only one suspect and each whispered the same name. But there is another camp — just as fervent — of people who disagreed and were angered even by the suggestion that one of "Ocilla's own" could be responsible. It seems this once tight-knit community is now a town sharply divided, with folks taking sides.
Being in Ocilla one also can't help but notice that while working hard the Ocilla Police Department and the Irwin County Sheriff's Office are not blessed with a great deal of manpower or experience. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations has stepped in to "assist" the search for Tara but the Ocilla police department has one detective on staff, and by his own admission the disappearance of Tara Grinstead is the first missing case he has investigated.
Also complicating efforts to find Tara is the fact that the area law enforcement is searching, some 350 square miles, is largely composed of swampland, unkempt woods, lakes, and wells. As the man in charge of searching for Tara, Sheriff Deputy Allen Morgan told us, searching for Tara is like "searching for a needle in a haystack."
Edie Magnus' report on the missing teacher airs Sunday, April 30, 7 p.m. on Dateline.

An update on 'A Pattern of Suspicion'
On April 9, 2004 Dateline NBC aired "A Pattern of Suspicion" an award-winning investigation of racial profiling in Cincinnati and beyond.
To access the award-winning companion Web site to "A Pattern of Suspicion" please click here.
Since our program aired, there have been several developments that we wanted to share:
- In our report we included scenes of police patrolling Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. In one of these scenes a man named Robert Short is stopped on the street by Cincinnati Police Officer Ron Dammert. At the end of this encounter Mr. Short is not charged with any crime. To see the full encounter please access this link .
- Our report also included Robert Short entering Cincinnati Police District One headquarters in an attempt to file a written complaint about the above-described stop involving Officer Ron Dammert. Rob Short spoke with Cincinnati Police Officers Ron Dammert and Phillip Buccino and left without filing a complaint.
*Update: On April 26, 2004 Robert Short filed a complaint with the Cincinnati Citizen's Complaint Authority about his stop and subsequent interactions with Cincinnati Police when he attempted to file a complaint. Mr. Short's complaint was investigated by the Cincinnati Citizen's Complaint Authority, which issued the results of its investigation on July 19, 2004. The Cincinnati Citizen's Complaint Authority's full report on Robert Short's complaint can be accessed here.
In addition to filing a complaint with the Cincinnati's Citizen Complaint Authority on November 16, 2004 Mr. Short filed a lawsuit in United States District Court alleging defendants Officer Ron Dammert, Officer Phillip Buccino and the City of Cincinnati violated his civil rights. To see his full second amended complaint you can access this link.
On December 24, 2004 in United States District Court Officer Ron Dammert, Phillip Buccino and the City of Cincinnati filed their answer to Mr. Short's complaint and demanded a trial by jury. To view this answer to Mr. Short's lawsuit you may access the link here.
If interested, check back here periodically and we will update you on any resolution of Mr. Short's lawsuit.

New search area for MH370
More than 100 days after a Malaysia Airlines jet went missing search authorities admit they have been looking in the wrong place.
Based on new satellite projections, the Australian-led search operation will now focus on a 60,000 square kilometre area further south in the Indian Ocean.
It has also been confirmed for the first time that the Boeing 777, carrying 239 people, was set to autopilot several hours before its demise into desolate and unmapped waters.
"Certainly for its path across the Indian Ocean we are confident that the aircraft was operating on autopilot until it ran out of fuel," Australian Transport Safety Bureau boss Martin Dolan said.
After taking off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8 the aircraft diverted from tracking toward its Beijing destination.
While Australian authorities have not tried to determine when the fateful path was set, Mr Nolan said it diverted west of Sumatra and then travelled in a straight line, suggesting autopilot was engaged.
The new search area, about 1800km from the West Australian coast, has been the subject of an aerial search previously, but efforts will now head below the waves, combing the ocean floor which is some 5km deep in parts.
It will take about three months to map the ocean floor.
Australia will call for tenders to conduct the underwater search, which will begin in August and will be a long and painstaking process, Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said.
"We could be fortunate and find it in the first hour or the first day, but it could take another 12 months," he told reporters in Canberra on Thursday.
Defending fruitless previous search efforts, Mr Truss said little is known of much of the southern Indian Ocean.
"The search area has at all times been based on the best information analysis available," he said.
International experts have worked to outline the latest area of interest, which Mr Truss said is the "most likely place where the aircraft is resting".
"We owe it to the passengers and the crew and everyone who is associated with MH370 to bring this mystery to a conclusion," he said.
Two New Zealanders, Paul Weeks and Ximin Wang, were among those on board MH370.
