When (and if) it happens, I suppose there will be some coverage... :smile:
Printable View
Was in the area this aftertnoon and took a quick drive around FRG and I havent seen the ramps of Atlantic and Sheltair that empty in a long time. And with the crappy weather no one flying though I did see Bell N44HC fueling up. And speaking of him, around 3:30 I hear the loud buzz of an approaching copter and had a
pretty good idea who it was from the sound. It was 44HC flying about 500 feet over my house heading NB. Avoiding the last of the bad weather though it was brightening to the West. With the temps close to 55 I decided to go for a nice walk and who do I see again around 4PM now heading EB and around 1500 this time? 44HC of course. :smile:
Rest of the weekend looks great for spotting actvities.
Are they using a noise cannon at FRG or were there hunters in the area? :confused::tongue:
Was over by the Terminal this afternoon and heard a number of blasts.:eek:
N270SK - Chataqua ERJ-145 currently over by Sheltair in Frontier colors. Looks to have brought the St John's women's BB team home.
Pic tonight.
That guy has seen a lot of color changes :tongue:
Had a meeting in the area this morning, and rolled past to see if there was anything interesting around...
Very nice John, I wonder if we'll see some of these little Frontier ERJs at LGA
No cake, just a nice birdie with all the lights on :)
Very nice, John, very nice!
Wow, John....That was you over there???? ;)
Happy Birthday


text: The mind's capability to process information, even a little bit of information almost literally blows my mind. Some days I can look out at my world and it looks totally different from the world I knew even a day before. Weather can change my perception, travelling to a different location, or life events color my enviroment a different hue. It amazes me that I can see with my eyes these changes and move right along as if something somewhere hadn't just vanished and the change didn't happen. I wish my memories were more vibrant. I wish I could take back moments of days that disappeared. I wish that I was better at recognizing significant events when they happened so that I could live them more fully before the moment was gone. Sometimes I wish my brain wasn't so adapatable that I can go with the flow and only in retrospect recognize that something really remarkable happened on a day that is no longer.

This looks so great! I am definitely going to try this pattern out! Has anyone tried this yet? Do the mitts actually stand up against the heat from the oven? I have so many ideas on colors for this, especially since you use 4 strands at a time! This would be a great house warming gift, too!
May 11, 2017
Simple yet a kitchen necessity for everyone. I actually never knew that trivets, hot pads and oven mitts were to be made with cotton yarn because any other yarn will not be heat resistant. If there is one thing you should know when browsing all these lovely kitchen patterns, you should know THAT! Most important thing. I like the color of these! Oven mitt patterns seem to be hard to come by...

Can anyone convert this over to knitting? It should have both, crochet & knitted. I prefer a knitted one.. Help anyone? Judy

Hi there, This would be a great question to post on the FaveCrafts Facebook page! Our readers are really helpful and our community is super active. Be sure to include a link to this project so others can refer to it. Thanks! - Julia from FaveCrafts

Remember you need to use cotton yarn or other heat resistant yarn. Acrylic yarns will melt....Be sure it is safe for heat. Otherwise looks lovely! Will try this using cotton--peaches and creme,,,,
dragonchild85oem 3 993241
Jun 26, 2013
You are EXACTLY right! And for those who think otherwise? If you use acrylic yarns it doesn't even take all that much heat to cause it to melt! I know, I learned the VERY hard way! thanks for posting that lomamiller.......
Nov 07, 2012
I was wondering about the 4 strands, but when i bought the yarn, I only found 3 balls of 100g each. So I only used 3 strands. The only problem is that the mittens become less thick than the original, and with bigger holes. If I use a smaller hook, then they come out smaller. That's all. I'm going for the bigger and looser mittens, and they are very pretty! Almost too pretty to use!
pipster43 2297571
Feb 04, 2012
There were a few comments on whether its (1) ball or (4)......can this be answered please? Why have the option to leave comments if their not answered? I am going with 4 balls if I receive no reply... crochet 4 tog must be 4 balls. Hopefully the typo will be corrected for those inexperienced crocheters.
Dec 31, 2011
This is probably going to sound stupid, but if you just have one ball of yarn, how do you crochet using four strands??? Don't laugh....I'm a beginner out here obtaining knowledge!!
Apr 03, 2011
Definitely Crochet! It is to work much faster than knitting; although I do knit too but mostly crochet.
Apr 02, 2011
These are really Nice!! I definitely choose crochet for this group. I think it would be more fair if it was knit/crochet of the same item.
Apr 02, 2011
I've had this pattern for a couple years and finally decided to try it. I couldn't believe how fast it went, and WOW, they're awesome. Once I showed them to people all I heard was I want some!! My vote? Crochet.
Apr 02, 2011
can't wait to make this I love home made stuff better then store bought stuff last longer I find. Thanks for the pattern
Apr 02, 2011
Wow! These are so easy to make and beautiful in any kitchen. I vote crochet!
ksrum 3540121

will have to try this one. With 4 strands held together it just might be heatproof enough to actually use! ;o)

It will give me such joy to give the set as a gift....love favecrafts.com
Dec 18, 2010
Did anyone try these yet? Do they take 1 or 4 balls of yarn? They look great!!! Just would like to know. I really don't want to make 4 sets of the same color if it only takes 1 ball.
Oct 31, 2010
I would like to see the answer to question on comment 1, is it 1 ball or 4? Thank you!
susanbeauchamp7 51 57213
Oct 30, 2010
I'm sorry, but I'm confused. It says one ball of yarn is needed, but then says use 4 strands at a time...? Could you clarify what "use 4 strands together" means? I can't wait to crochet these mitts! Thanks!!
Jun 25, 2014
Just wondering if you ever got a response. I was wondering the same thing.
Melissa Ryan
Jun 26, 2014
Hi Susanbeauchamp7--Thanks for the comment. That does seem strange. I checked in with the original pattern on Bernat.com and it says the same thing. Perhaps you cut the one ball of yarn into 4 equal strands?
Aug 14, 2010
Thanks so much for this pattern. Have been looking for a really nice pattern like this one. Thanks again.

I can't wait to crochet these oven mitts. They look easy to crochet and very handy too.

Establishment the Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Guadalupe Mountains National Park was established on 30 Sep 1972. The park celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1997. It preserves the rugged spirit and remote wilderness of the American West. Here, in the ancient Guadalupe Mountains that tower so majestically into the Texas sky, a visitor can delight in grand views, diverse landscape, and small pleasures.
Wallace Pratt, a petroleum geologist who was charmed by the beauty and geology of the Guadalupe, purchased land in McKittrick Canyon in the 1930's. In 1959, Pratt donated his land to the National Park Service. Additional land was purchased from J.C. Hunter, and in 1972, Guadalupe Mountains National Park was created by an act of congress.
Size of Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Acreage – as of September 23, 2000
Federal Land – 86,189.97
Non-Federal Land – 226.00
Gross Area Acres – 86,415.97
Geology of Guadalupe Mountains National Park
The rock exposures in Guadalupe Mountains National Park are part of one of the finest examples of an ancient fossil reef. It is largely because of the area's geologic importance that it became a National Park in 1972. Geologists from around the world come to study this magnificent Permian-aged reef, which formed about 250 million years ago. The fossil reef was first described by geologist Dr. G.G. Shumard in 1855 while accompanying an expedition looking for artesian water. However, there was little interest in studying the area more intensely until petroleum was discovered in the Permian Basin in the 1920s.
Basic Visitor Recommendations
Bring everything you will need during your visit. No concessions or supplies available in the park; dress appropriately; be prepared for sudden weather changes; take adequate water into the backcountry (one gallon per person per day).
Bird Guide
Birding at Guadalupe Mountains National Park requires time, patience, luck, and hard work. Elevations in the park range from 3600 to 8749 feet and the park boundaries encompass several life zones each with its own variety of birdlife. Desert lowlands, pine forested mountain tops, deep canyons with their riparian woodlands, and the transition zones between all of these present a variety of habitats. Because of the park's location in the mountains of west Texas, some species found nowhere else in the state occur here. Other species are more easily found here than in the rest of the state.
Hiking Guide
Hiking in Guadalupe Mountains National Park can be a fun and rewarding experience as in other national parks. It is a great way to both see and experience the park.
There are eighty-plus miles of trails, ranging in difficulty from easy to strenuous. Trails are rocky and often steep and rugged. Trails lead to Guadalupe Peak, around the base of El Capitan, up into the high country and across the top of the escarpment, and into McKittrick Canyon. Self-guided nature trails are located at McKittrick Canyon, Pinery trail at Pine Springs and Indian Meadow Trail at Dog Canyon.
The park's color brochure includes a trail map of the backcountry. In addition to this guide, it is recommended that you carry a topographical map and a compass, and know how to use them. Some trails, especially those in the northwest corner of the park, are poorly-defined and can be difficult to follow. Give yourself enough time to reach your destination well before dark, and always have a flashlight and other light source in case of emergency.
Hiking Hints and Tips
- Sudden weather changes are common.
- High winds are prevalent in the spring.
- Thunderstorms and lightning are frequent in the summer.
- Avoid exposed open areas during storms.
- Hikers should carry one gallon of water per person per day.
- Stay on trails.
- Watch for cacti, rattlesnakes, scorpions, and desert centipedes.
- All park features are protected. Do not deface or remove any natural or historical objects.
- Do not pick wildflowers or other plants or feed or molest wildlife.
- Wood and charcoal fires are prohibited. Camp stoves are allowed.
- Pets must be leashed at all times. They are not allowed on trails.
- Carry a first aid kit with basic essentials and consider extras like tweezers for spines, moleskin for blisters, and a triangular bandage which can be put to many uses.
- Please, check in and out at trailhead registers and let park personnel know when you return. Share your interesting experiences, or difficulties encountered along the way.

Weather of Guadalupe Mountains National Park
High winds are common during the months of February, March and often well into April, with wind gusts in excess of 100 mph. Strong wind advisories are often forecast by the National Weather Service for Guadalupe Pass. Hiking can be challenging on exposed trails. If temperatures are anything less than warm , the wind chill factor will force you to bundle up. During the spring months the average precipitation is less than an inch. Temperatures can be mild; the average high is 71 F, the low 46 F, with and all-time high of a simmering 92 F and an all-time low of -4 F.
Though May, June, and July are generally the hottest and the driest months, locally severe afternoon thunderstorms may bring a sudden drop in the temperature, and send you fleeing for shelter and a quick change from shorts and t-shirts to jackets and pants. Flash flooding can occur and caution should be used in arroyos and dry washes. It's best to stay clear of open ridge tops during the lightning that frequently accompanies these storms. The average precipitation is 2.75 inches; temperatures range from high 80's to low 60's (averages). The all-time high and low respectively are 101 F and 40 F.
Fall is everyones favorite time to visit Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and for good reason! The weather is generally beautiful – mild, calm, and refreshed from the summer rains. Cool crisp days, and cold nights occur toward the latter days of October, and trigger the beautiful color change of the maples, sumacs, and oaks. The average rainfall is 2.43 inches. The average high is 70 F, the low 56 F, with an all-time high of 93 F and an all-time low of 1 F.
During the winter months (November – January) expect snowfall with cold temperatures and some mild days. Snow generally does not last more than a few days in the low country, but in the high country may linger much longer, especially on north face aspects, and may cause trails to be icy and muddy. Snow depths may be dramatically deeper at higher elevations. Average precipitation is .92 inches. Average high temperature is 56 F; low temperature is 33 F, with an all-time high of 78 F, and an all-time low of -6 F. The wind often blows quite strong with the passing of fronts.
Spectacular scenery awaits you at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. But the hiking trails that take you to the beautiful vistas may also make you vulnerable to lightning. To better protect yourself from being struck, take the time to ask about locally predicted weather, carry adequate rain gear, and learn what to do if you are caught in a dangerous situation. Simple knowledge of lightning safety may save your life.

Alexia Sinclair – 'Rococo'
Alexia Sinclair's 'Rococo' depicts a dreamlike world bathed by influences of the 18th century
Alexia Sinclair: We love the outstanding creations of photographer and artist Alexia Sinclair, including her latest series 'Rococo', which depicts a dreamlike world bathed by the influences of the 18th century and the court of Marie Antoinette. Alexia Sinclair notes that "Rococo is a series of theatrical artworks inspired by the lives, fashions, gardens and motifs of 18th century high society. Following the design aesthetic of this period, the series is sensual, playful and flamboyant. During this period, powerful women of the French court became fashion icons and their tastes swept across Europe. Their excessive, luxurious and exotic creations have inspired many aspects of the costuming within this series; from Madame de Pompadour's porcelain flowers, to Madame du Barry diamond necklace, Marie Antoinette's muslin chemise and the Duchess of Devonshire's towering plumes. The floral backdrops within the series pay homage to the dreamlike landscapes of the Rococo period. Known as the pleasure playgrounds, their hidden gardens, mazes and wild flower meadows formed the backdrop of decadent garden parties and mischievous encounters." Alexia Sinclair is an award winning Australian Artist and Photographer whose distinct style is easily recognisable and highly original. Using a visual narrative, Alexia Sinclair's art is both dark and seductive, baroque and symbolic yet her multilayered photographs present contemporary notions of fashion and beauty through innovative digital media, whilst restoring antique notions of classicism, elegance and luxury. Sinclair is an artist who skilfully balances the worlds of Fine Art and Commercial Art. Whilst her evocative Fine Art imagery adorns the walls of museums and is held in important art collections, she often translates these skills and signature style into highly polished campaigns in the commercial arena for clients such as Harpers Bazaar and Canon Australia. Completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons I) and Master of Fine Arts, Alexia Sinclair is the recipient of a travelling arts scholarship, and two postgraduate scholarships. She has worked in New York as a digital artist and exhibited in numerous exhibitions including at the Australian Centre for Photography and the Art Gallery of NSW with her latest series 'Rococo' most recently on display at the Black Eye Gallery in Darlinghurst, Sydney Australia. Below is a selection of Alexia Sinclair's amazing work but for a more detailed look, we suggest a visit to her website.

ISHARA S.KODIKARA/AFP/Getty Images/Newscom
The United States recently introduced its second United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution on Sri Lanka, calling attention to the government's alleged violations of international human rights law.
The resolution supports reconciliation efforts and requires government investigation into allegations of human rights abuses and indiscriminate killings of Tamil civilians that allegedly took place during the final days of the conflict between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan government in 2009.
The U.S. action in the UNHRC is laudable, especially since it draws attention to the general human rights situation in Sri Lanka. The U.S. can no longer turn a blind eye to President Mahinda Rajapaksa's increasingly authoritative actions that threaten to undermine the very foundations of democracy in Sri Lanka.
The resolution calls upon the Sri Lankan government to implement "constructive recommendations" made by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), which include investigation of human rights violations, improved land dispute resolution measures, increased efforts to move toward political devolution, and other notable reforms.
However, the resolution notes that the LLRC is not a comprehensive solution. Thus, it calls for outside actors to guide Sri Lankan officials as they implement practical solutions in forming a legitimate government.
The decision to introduce a resolution seems to have been prompted by the alleged violations of human rights carried out during the war with the LTTE and also in order to draw attention to Rajapaksa's more recent actions that are undermining democracy in general. As Assistant Secretary of State Robert O. Blake said, the U.S. has been "disappointed that there has been some backward movement on democracy" in Sri Lanka.
In many ways, Sri Lanka's political designation as a democracy is in name only. The executive no longer has term limits and now has power over Sri Lankan government commissions on human rights, finance, corruption, and many other issues. Such rash actions blurred the distinctions between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches and demonstrated that amendments to the constitution are no longer relegated to legislative authority and instead rest within the power of the President.
Rajapaksa further thwarted the system of checks and balances by his recent removal of the chief justice of the Sri Lankan Supreme Court in January 2013. Since Sri Lanka no longer has an independent judiciary, the Rajapaksa administration is left unchecked.
The UNHRC resolution helps highlight the human rights problems in Sri Lanka and puts pressure on the Sri Lankan government to move forward with implementation of the findings from the LLRC. But Washington will need to keep up the international pressure in order to stem the systematic undermining of democratic traditions and institutions in Sri Lanka.

By accessing, visiting, using, or submitting information to the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
We may collect information from you directly, automatically when you visit the Service, and sometimes from third parties. Some of this information may be considered "personal information" under various applicable laws. We consider information that identifies you as a specific, identified individual (such as your name, phone number, and email address) to be personal information. We will also treat additional information, including IP addresses and cookie identifiers, as "personal information" where required by applicable law. Note that we may de-identify personal information so that it is non-personal, such as aggregating or converting it to a code, sometimes using a function commonly known as "hash". We will treat de-identified information as non-personal to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. If we combine non-personal information with personal information, then we will treat the combined information as personal information under this Privacy Policy.
We collect information you provide when you interact with us (for example, when you set up accounts, make a purchase, sign up to receive our communications, use a subscription plan, participate in a promotion, or otherwise communicate with us). Such information may include contact information (such as your name, mailing address, and e-mail address), and other information, such as demographic information (for example, your gender and age), and information about your shopping interests and preferences. When you create an account on the Service, we will also require you to provide a user name and password for the account. To help improve your experience or enable certain features of the Service, you may choose to provide us with additional information such as weight, age, or logs for sleep, food or exercise patterns.
The Service may also allow you to purchase products or subscriptions directly from us, in which case we may ask you to provide payment information (such as a credit or debit card number and other associated card information), as well as shipping and billing information, which may be processed by a third party payment processor. When you make purchases, we will also collect your transaction history.
We may collect information through JHT exercise equipment interfaces, such as health statistics including speed, heart rate, distance traveled, active minutes or calories burned. We may also collect information about your use of our equipment's workout and entertainment consoles, such as workout history, videos watched, and music stations played. Data collected varies depending on which equipment you use. We may also collect similar information through your devices (such as your phone, tablet, or other fitness tracker or device) using WIFI or Bluetooth technology, when you choose to download or use our application or choose to connect your devices with the Service. Data collected through equipment may also be stored on the equipment itself.
When you choose to connect exercise equipment interfaces or devices with our Service, data collected through your exercise equipment interfaces or your devices may be transferred from your equipment interface or device to our servers or otherwise consistent with this Privacy Policy.
In addition, you may be able to sync, or allow a third party to sync, certain JHT equipment with third party applications or software in order to share data collected on the equipment with such third party. We are not responsible for such third parties' use of your shared data. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of those third parties before allowing them to synch with your equipment.

The First Lady of Poland is a witch and should be the subject of euthanasia, and the President of Poland is a conman surrendering to the Jewish lobby.
Not my words but those attributed to Radio Maryja director, Father Tadeusz Rydzyk, when he was speaking to a group of students at The University of Social & Medial Culture in Toruń.
The story broke in the weekly Wprost today and since then the government has refused to comment until the tapes of Rydzyk's remarks have been verified.
Rydzyk – who has been accused of running a radio station and publishing empire where the odd anti-Semitic remark is not unsual – has not denied he made the remarks. He is just saying that the article in Wprost is a 'provocation'. thenews.pl reports:
According to Father Rydzyk - the media have blown the case out of proportion and he himself would never even think about "offending anyone ". In his opinion, it is "Satan who's putting stumbling blocks into his way", but "we should not be manipulated and get divided". Director of Radio Maryja added: "Satan doesn't like those who commune in Christ".
The Redemptoristine from Toruń also said on his radio station that "the truth should be spoken out, even though it upsets Satan. We cannot exist without that truth".
Well, indeed. TV has being playing small snippets of the 'Rydzyk Tapes' all day but we have still not seen the whole transcripts.
Perhaps it was just Rydzyk's hilarious sense of humour? But whether it is or isn't, the remarks put the government in a bit of a bind. The Kaczynski government has given Radio Maryja special access to news conferences in the past as it believed that the Rydzyk empire was the only news outlet not under the control of the dreaded uklad - the only news source that the Kaczynskis can trust.
If this scandal is as bad as it sounds then the government has one less source open to it.
