Study: Keystroke spying on the rise

The programs are an increasingly popular tool among identity thieves, the security company said Tuesday. Reports to iDefense, and its own research, indicate that the number of keylogger variants unleashed this year is set to rise 65 percent over last year, reaching nearly 6,200 in total, the company said in a statement on Tuesday.
Each variant could lead to anything from a few to several thousand infections, Ken Dunham, senior engineer at iDefense, said. Keylogger software typically tracks keystrokes on infected computers and is used to try to steal sensitive information such as user names and credit card data.
The biggest problem with keyloggers, which silently relay data to attackers, is that they often go undetected, easily slipping past firewalls and antivirus software, iDefense, a division of VeriSign, said.
"There are so many victims because so few know the risk or the early warning signs," Joe Payne, vice president of VeriSign iDefense Security Intelligence Services, said in a statement. "You simply can't stop what you can't see."
Early warning signs can include slow performance of a PC, a spike in pop-up messages and other problems.
Computers can become infected with keyloggers in a variety of ways, such as through downloading spyware or e-mail attachments, or through a visit to a chat room or simply to the wrong Web site. The programs typically exploit flaws in Web browser software, including Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
iDefense said keyloggers are typically spread by organized cybercrime rings, which have used them in the past to conduct large-scale money transfers to fund criminal activities. The programs have grown exponentially since 2001, when the firm detected just 275 of them.

- Why Do They Say "PC"?
- When they really mean "Microsoft Windows PC".
Yes, I know Microsoft Windows dominates the personal computer
That doesn't alter the fact that many millions of personal computer
owners do not really need to worry about this.

- Why this matters...
- Every financial and government institution whose websites
REQUIRE the use of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows
also knowingly expose their customers to this vulnerability. If I
were required by a bank to use Windows and Explorer for
banking transactions, and my passwords were compromised by
the activities described in this article, I would hold the bank
accountable for any loss I incur.
Clearly, this is the perfect storm waiting to happen, if it has
happened already, and the sad fact is it's just completely
unnecessary. There are other browsers and other internet
technologies (read: not MS proprietary technologies) that
provide exactly the same level of service to customers, but the
site designers contracted by these companies peddle Internet
Explorer and Windows as a "requirement" for no other reason
than to insure MS maintains it's monopoly.
The Internet to this day remains a threat to Microsoft because
the internet has always been based on open, non-proprietary
standards. Microsoft's views open standards as technologies that
erode it's stranglehold on marketshare and the need for the
Windows OS. Thus, when Java appears on the internet landscape,
MS doesn't adopt it; instead it simply creates it's own version of
Java which - surprise - only works with Windows and Internet
Then the problem gets worse, because MS isn't exactly careful
when it comes to security in it's software (unfortunate Windows
users had to wait until just recently - Windows XP SP2 - for MS
to ship it's OS with all ports closed by default), and when it's
host of bastardized proprietary internet technologies is broken
by nothing more sophisticated than teenage computer
hobbyists, the company takes YEARS to address the problem.
All in all, the recipe for disaster. It's just a matter of time.

All my computers have been using Firefox since it came out. I'll never go back to Explorer.
IE is definately helping creeps "Explore" into your systems.

VIRGINIA SENATE ELECTION 2014: Ed Gillespie (R) – Incumbent Mark Warner (D) .. Too Close to Call
WOW … Going into tonight election, Democrat incumbent Mark Warner had a 10 point lead in the polls over Republican challenger Ed Gillespie. And a couple of weeks ago Warner was up by 20. Now on election night the race is too close to call. If this is a sign of things to come for Democrats, Obama and his minions are going to have a long, long nihgt. No one had Virginia even remotely in play.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) Predicted Mitt Romney will win Virginia
This morning on NBC's "Meet the Press," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor stated that Mitt Romney would win Virginia by a larger margin than many of the polls are predicting. Cantor went on to say that Obama has provided no answers to end the near 8% unemployment and if Americans are happy with meager job growth, high unemployment and more of the same, Barack is their man.
"… do think the point is Mitt Romney has demonstrated the ability of building jobs, of making it so that we can have more investment, more economic activity, in America. he has a demonstrated track record and has provided an actual plan, whereas all you're getting from the president in these closing days of his campaign is more negativity, more attacks, and i just think that, again, Americans are looking to see how they can make their lives work again. Barack Obama is not providing any answers, and if you like the way things are now with nearly 8% unemployment, that's what you're going to get if you re-elect the president."
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
From The Hill:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) predicted Mitt Romney will win in Virginia on Tuesday — and win by a bigger margin than deadlocked polls have shown.
Cantor also said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that former Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) will beat former Gov. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) in the state's Senate race, which has seen Allen trailing in the polls.
"On the ground in Virginia there's a lot of enthusiasm for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan," Cantor said. "We're going to win this state, and I think we're going to win a lot bigger [than polls have shown]."
It is probably safe to say, which ever presidential candidate wins Virginia will most likely provide coattails for the Senate race between former Sen. George Allen (R-VA) and former Gov. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
UPDATE I: Hmm, this is interesting, people walked out on Obama after Clinton had talked in Virginia. Looks like many Democrats with Clinton was getting a third term, rather than an Obama second one.

George Will Predicts Romney Landslide 321-217 on ABC's 'This Week" … Similar to Barone's Landslide Prediction
Most pundits are calling the 2012 Presidential race too close to call as the RCP averages of polls have it a dead tie.
However, that did not stop conservative columnist on ABC's "This Week' to predict a Mitt Romney electoral landslide. Will predicted a 321-217 electoral victory for Romney. What I do find interesting is that a couple of people have gone out on a limb and said that Romney will get over 300 electoral votes; however, no one is really saying that Obama will do such. What we are seeing from Will and Barone is that if the undecided's break for the challenger Mitt Romney, battleground states could fall like dominoes for Romney.
On this weekend's broadcast of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" on ABC, Will revealed his prediction and added a bonus surprise by saying traditional Democratic state Minnesota would go for Romney as well.
"I'm projecting Minnesota to go for Romney," Will said. "It's the only state that's voted democratic in nine consecutive elections, but this year, there's marriage amendment on the ballot that will bring out the evangelicals and I think could make the difference."
Add Will's landslide prediction to that of numbers cruncher extraordinaire Michael Barone. His prediction of a landslide is based
on fundamentals, a majority of Americans are against Obama's policies. and a sluggish economy where job growth and recovery has been far too slow. Barone is predicting a Romney 315, Obama 223 landslide. Barone stated that it sounds high for Romney, but he could lose Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still win the election.
Which candidate will get the electoral votes of the target states? I'll go out on a limb and predict them, in ascending order of 2008 Obama percentages — fully aware that I'm likely to get some wrong.
Indiana (11 ). Uncontested. Romney.
North Carolina (15). Obama has abandoned this target. Romney.
Florida (29). The biggest target state has trended Romney since the Denver debate. I don't see any segment of the electorate favoring Obama more than in 2008, and I see some (South Florida Jews) favoring him less. Romney.
Ohio (18). The anti-Romney auto bailout ads have Obama running well enough among blue-collar voters for him to lead most polls. But many polls anticipate a more Democratic electorate than in 2008. Early voting tells another story, and so does the registration decline in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County. In 2004, intensity among rural, small -town and evangelical voters, undetected by political reporters who don't mix in such circles, produced a narrow Bush victory. I see that happening again. Romney.

Obama in Trouble …Obama Campaign Walking Away From Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado
Is Barack Obama giving up and reading the Romney handwriting on the wall in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Colorado? As stated at Hot Air, one has to look way down in the article to find this gem of info that is the most significant part of the entire piece.
What also became clear after the dust began to settle from the rumble on Long Island was the electoral map has narrowed and Obama's team, while conceding nothing publicly, is circling the wagons around Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Plouffe said that Obama remains strong in all four states, but he would not discuss the specifics of internal polling or voter-contact analytics, saying only that Obama has "significant leads" in all four places.
It is uncharacteristic of Team Obama to concede any terrain, but Plouffe offered no such assurances about Obama's position in North Carolina, Virginia, or Florida. Romney advisers have seen big gains in all three states and now consider wins likely, although not guaranteed, in all three. They are similarly upbeat about prospects in Colorado but not confident enough to predict victory. That Plouffe left Colorado off his list of states where Obama's leading and can withstand a Romney surge might be telling…
Romney, according to RCP, has 191 electoral votes. If you add Florida (29), North Carolina (15), and Virginia (13), that brings his total to 248 electoral votes. Add Colorado (9) –which neither campaign is prepared to claim or concede–and Romney's total rises to 257 electoral votes. If Romney wins Ohio (18) in addition to these states, he would have 275 electoral votes. If Romney loses Ohio, he would need to win Iowa, Nevada, and New Hampshire to reach 273 electoral votes.
As Hot Air stated, is Team Obama doing electoral triage? Has Romney's surge in so many battleground states and in states that were supposed to be lean Obama that it is stretching Obama's resources? Is Obama's vulnerability in so many states coming back to haunt him? It would appear that Obama may be redrawing his fire line.
It's not that Romney has insurmountable leads in FL, VA, and NC, it's that Team O has to decide how to allocate what's left of its campaign treasury down the stretch and there are better bets for them than those three states. Triage, in other words. Mitt's up 4.7 points on average in North Carolina, which would be tough for O to make up, and 2.5 points in Florida, which might be doable but would be hugely expensive in terms of reserving enough ad time to make a dent. I'm a little surprised to see Virginia included — O actually leads there by eight-tenths of a point, although Romney's (narrowly) won the last three polls, so maybe Obama's campaign figures it's not worth resisting that momentum in a state they don't really need.

Rasmussen Now Has Romney Ahead in Virginia 49% to 47%
Don't look now but another battleground state is trending to Mitt Romney.
According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, GOP Presidential candidate Mitt Romney leads President Barack Obama 49% to 47% in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This is yet another example of a state that Obama won comfortably in 2008, 53% – 47%, but is now trailing in 2012.
Mitt Romney now has a two-point lead in Virginia.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Virginia Voters shows Romney with 49% of the vote, while President Obama earns 47% support. One percent (1%) likes another candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The RCP poll has Obama with a slim 0.4% lead over Romney. However, this is including a highly suspect NY Times/Quinnipiac poll that has Obama with an outlier +5 and no description in the poll of what the sampling was. When you dismiss this poll, Romney is actually slightly ahead in the averaging of polls.

Obamanomics & Job Recovery … Unemployment rates rose in 44 U.S. states in July Including 9 Battleground States
Just more evidence that the Obama jobs recovery and Obamanomics has been an epic failure.
Not only did the national US unemployment rise from 8.2% to 8.3% in July, but also the unemployment rates rose in 44 US states. That includes the increase in the unemployment rates in 9 battleground states like Nevada, that saw the rate rise to 12% in July from 11.6% and in Michigan, where the rate increased to 9% from 8.5%. Other battleground states that saw increases in the unemployment rates were Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisconsin and New Hampshire.
Unemployment rates rose in 44 U.S. states in July, the most states to show a monthly increase in more than three years and a reflection of weak hiring nationwide.
The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment rates fell in only two states and were unchanged in four.
Unemployment rates rose in nine states that are considered battlegrounds in the presidential election. That trend, if it continued, could pose a threat to President Barack Obama's re-election bid in less than three months.
Nationwide, hiring improved in July after three months of tepid job gains. But the national unemployment rate ticked up to 8.3 percent from 8.2 percent. Monthly job gains have averaged 150,000 this year. That's barely enough to accommodate population growth. As a result, the unemployment rate is the same as when the year began.
What is Obama's answer, more stimulus money for infrastructure projects. Obama code for giving jobs to union workers. Even though Obama said in the past when his previous stimulus plan was a failure, there were no shovel ready jobs then or now. At best these are temporary jobs, not permanent.
More bad news for Obama and Democrats, Americans prefer the GOP to Democrats in trusting them to fix the economy.

Lunatic Fringe: VP Joe Biden Tells Supporters that Republicans Would "put y'all back in chains," During a Campaign Speech in Danville, VA … A New Low for Obama/Biden
Just when you thought that Obama-Biden couldn't get any more low rent … HEY AMERICA, HOW'S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY THING WORKING OUT FOR YOU?
OBAMA-BIDEN has hit a new low and that is saying something for these two. At a campaign even in Danville, VA Vice President Joe Biden told supporters that Republicans would "put y'all back in chains." Huh? And yes, the hideous comment was racial and meant to evoke putting blacks back in chains. This is what passes as a campaign? Could the Obama-Biden campaign get any more ugly? Politics is supposed to be a contact sport, but this is a new low in American politics. However, what else would one expect from a President and his Chicago style politics who cannot run on his record?
Vice President Joe Biden told supporters that Republicans would "put y'all back in chains," during a campaign speech Tuesday in Danville, Va.
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: They've said it. Every Republican's voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the—he said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules–unchain Wall Street. They're going to put y'all back in chains. He's said he's going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing…
Biden was introduced at the campaign event by Center for American Progress Action Fund president Tom Perriello, who called Biden "the conscience of our nation's capital."
The conscience of our nation's capital? No wonder Washington, DC politicians have such a low approval rating. I think Perriello got the words conscience and brain dead confused.
The Romney campaign reacted to Biden's vile and inappropriate words calling them "not acceptable". However, in an interview with Andrea Mitchell, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter the campaign has "no problem with those comments." How low rent and in the gutter is the Obama campaign going to go? Actually, they have called Romney a killer and not some one who is going to put Americans back in chains. Just curious, what happened to Obama's message of civility?
"The comments made by the vice president of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and do anything to win this election."
What a contrast we are witness to with Obama's stooge VP Biden and the GOP pick Rep. Paul Ryan. Biden acts like the village idiot and Ryan comes across as a sincere, honest, serious VP candidate with a plan to prevent America from going over the fiscal cliff. Voters need to answer a question, everyone speculated as to who Mitt Romney was going to pick as his VP candidate and whether that person would be ready to lead America being only a heart beat away from the Presidency. Maybe that same question needs to be posed regarding Joe Biden. Who thinks this loose cannon is capable of being President?

The Obama Job Recovery: Unemployment Rises in 27 States Including 6 Battle Ground States in June
When all is said and done, unemployment will eventually sink Obama's reelection in 2012 …
As much as President Barack Obama wants to avoid the primary issue of the 2012 elections, there is no way he can hide the fact that the economy has stalled and going backwards. The Obama job recovery has been a failure and has hit the skids at the worst possible time for Obama's reelection bid. In June 27 states saw their unemployment rate rise. Worse yet for Obama, unemployment rates rose in six of ten battleground states. According to the Department of Labor, the jobless rate climbed a 10th of a percentage point last month in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Virginia.
Unemployment rates rose in 27 states last month, the most in almost a year.
The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment rates fell in 11 states and Washington, D.C. — the fewest declines since August. Rates were unchanged in 12 states.
Nationwide, employers added only 80,000 jobs last month, third straight month of weak job growth. The national unemployment rate stayed at 8.2%.
Some of the states that saw a decline:
- Nevada recorded the highest unemployment rate, at 11.6%, same as the previous month.
- It was followed by Rhode Island at 10.9% and California at 10.7%
- North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate at 2.9%, followed by Nebraska at 3.8%
- Several states reported big increases in unemployment. Rates rose 0.4 percentage points in Alabama and New Jersey, to 7.8% and 9.6%, respectively.
- Still others lost jobs. Wisconsin shed 13,200, the most of any state. It was followed by Tennessee, where employers cut 12,100 jobs.
What else could one expect but poor economic jobs numbers when you have a President who failed to meet with his much touted Jobs Council in the last six months, yet has time for fundraiser and golf? Retail sales fell in June for the third straight month as well.

We Ask America Poll Has Mitt Romney Ahead of Barack Obama 48% to 43% in Virginia
We Ask America poll has GOP contender Mitt Romney ahead of President Barack Obama 48% to 43%. Is this the beginning of Obama losing traction in the Commonwealth of VA? The poll also shows that Republican George Allen is also leading Democrat candidate Tim Kaine. The Weekly Standard asks whether this is a trend or an outlier?
Virginia also has a barn-burner race for the U.S. Senate (that may be greatly influence by the presidential election) pitting Republican former Senator George Allen against Democrat National Committee Chair and former Governor Tim Kaine.
In 2008 Obama won Virginia by 6%. Now he finds himself behind in this poll and nearly a dead heat in the RCP average of polling. One can clearing see by the polling data that there appears to be a shift to Romney. Looks to see what happens following the SCOTUS decision of Obamacare to be the next game changer in the polling.

FPS staff report
December 23, 2013
Two Bellflower Rd. residents will likely spend the holidays in jail after law enforcement officials busted up a meth lab in Harrison Twp. Dec. 20.
Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said a search warrant was obtained after a lengthy investigation of marijuana and methamphetamines "meth" being sold and meth manufactured at a home at 3116 Bellflower Rd, Carrollton.
"What makes it so alarming is that during controlled buys of drugs by undercover agents in the home, there were young children present," said Williams.
The three children, ages seven months to seven years, were removed from the home during the raid and sent with family members.
Officers arrested Larry G. Kelley, 49, and Tiffani N. Redovian, 27, both the Bellflower Rd. address.
Kelley was charged with two counts of trafficking in drugs, both fourth degree felonies; two counts of trafficking in drugs, both fifth degree felonies; and trafficking in drugs, a third degree felony (it took place in the vicinity of school or juvenile), all stemming from the sale of drugs to undercover agents. He was also charged with the illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs, a first degree felony, and endangering children, a third degree felony.
Redovian was charged with one count of trafficking in drugs, a fourth degree felony; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs and endangering children.
Both are being held on $500,000 cash or surety bonds, set Dec. 23 in Carroll County Municipal Court.
Williams said when officers arrived they discovered "a very large amount of dangerous waste products from the meth manufacturing process and several bottles that were still putting off toxic gases."
A specialized unit from the Holmes County Sheriff's Department processed the hazardous scene and removed the toxic items for safe disposal.
Both Kelley and Redovian have previous drug convictions. Kelly was convicted in Harrison County in 1996 of trafficking in drugs and trafficking in marijuana and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Redovian was convicted of deception to obtain a dangerous drug and illegally processing drug documents in 2008 in Carroll County. She was placed on probation
Agencies assisting in the investigation and raid along with Carroll County Sheriff's Department officials, were narcotics officers from the Multi County LEAD Task Force, Tuscarawas, Harrison and Holmes counties Sheriff's Departments, Carrollton and Cadiz Police Departments and Great Trail Fire Department.

Qt 6 break would be for breaking current features, not adding new ones. Odds are it's going to be driven from the QtQuick/QtQml side, as that's the part with the most stuff we want to break. So when we want to switch to QtQuick 3 and version 3 of the QML language, that's when I expect we'll start planning a Qt 6.
We're not there yet, but there are some things in QtQuick which are already scheduled for QtQuick 3 (when we get around to it). In particular the Window type needs to be broken out to be a QML-only wrapper type, based on QQuickItem, instead of exposing QQuickWindow directly. A bunch of properties also where we might want to change the default value, but that's just breaking stuff so it depends on how much of a break we want QtQuick 3 to be. We already know that we want it to be less of a break than QtQuick 1-2; since we don't expect to replace SceneGraph that could mean that QtQuick 3 and QtQuick 2 elements could co-exist on the same scene.
It's also expected that the new ModelViews would replace the current ModelViews in QtQuick 3. Given how we haven't even completed the research phase of the new ModelViews, you can see that QtQuick 3 is likely still years away.

Lusaka businessman and former minister of Lusaka Sonny Mulenga has written to the Bank of Zambia asking them to punish First Alliance Bank Zambia for defrauding him about K850 million.
According to a letter addressed to the Bank of Zambia governor dated 17th March, Mulenga expressed disappointment that the Bankers Association of Zambia (BAZ) has failed to prevail on his long standing complaint and that he was now referring the matter to the Bank of Zambia who regulate the banks to act.
"We fail to understand why the Bankers Association of Zambia has been unable to get a reply from First Alliance Bank. The only reason is perhaps the Bankers Association of Zambia has no powers to compel their member bank to give a response to our complaint.
"Since the Bankers Association has failed to get a response from their member bank, we are now asking you as a supervisory and regulatory institution to take action and respond to our complaint," Mulenga wrote.
He said his complaint is based on concealment and obtaining money by false pretence contrary to the banking regulations and ethics.
Mulenga noted First Alliance Bank concealed bank statements regarding the amount which were removed from his company account.
He said in order to justify the debt which never existed, the bank typed a statement on a plain paper as a calculation of loan build up to eight months.

THE country's biggest mobile phone operator, Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) Namibia, added 176 281 new active SIM connections, passing the 2,2 million mark in 2013, the company says in its 2013 annual report released on Friday.
MTC says active SIM connections are now increasing at single digit increments, showing the level of the market at the moment.
"The main reason for this growth is the increase in multi SIM cards usage connecting multi devices, cellphones, smartphones, tablets, and computers per customer," says Miguel Geraldes, managing director of MTC said.
The company announced a revenue growth of 13,3% increasing its revenue to N$1,8 billion from N$1,6 billion in 2012, with contributions from both revenue groups; post and pre-paid services.
The strong control of operating expenses resulted in a growth of 17,2% (2012:11%) in the Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) margin.
The EBITDA margin remained above 50% as from 2011, as EBITDA grew from N$859.4 million to just over N$1 billion as a result of proper implementation of cost management policies.
MTC reinvested 101% of net profit to renew the radio access network and to provide its own transmission to reduce network running cost. Net profit increased from N$353 million to N$424 million. MTC declared a dividend of N$384 million in 2013 compared to N$341 million in 2012.

Tell-tales can also be attached to a sail, used as a guide when trimming (adjusting) a sail. On the mainsail tell-tales are on the leech (aft edge) and when trimmed properly should be streaming backwards. On the jib there are tell-tales on both sides of the luff of the sail. As a general guide, the windward tell-tale should stream aft (backwards) with an occasional lift, the leeward front tell-tale should stream aft.
A tell-tale is also a series of ropes suspended over the tracks above the height of a boxcar. These ropes are intended to give warning to a brakeman on the roof of the train that the train is approaching a low-clearance obstacle, such as a tunnel or a bridge. A Chesapeake and Ohio Railway tell-tale had 17 of these ropes hanging from a tube suspended across the track, the bottom of the ropes 12" lower than the height of the obstruction, and placed 100 to 300 feet before the obstruction.
More formally, a tell-tale of a member L of some language class is a finite subset of L such that no other language containing the subset in the class is a proper subset of L. In other words, a tell-tale is a finite subset that makes a language being a minimal consistent one in the class. The term is used in the field of artificial intelligence and machine language learning as well as linguistics. See also, Language identification in the limit

Rep. Trent Franks: GOP plans to bring immigration reform to House floor
PHOENIX -- The Republican Party has plans to discuss comprehensive immigration reform on the floor of the U.S. House, an Arizona congressman said Friday.
Rep. Trent Franks said he has been meeting with House Speaker John Boehner and the two have been working on a plan to discuss immigration on a national level.
"We have meetings one to two times per week and I can tell you that there is a plan to bring immigration to the floor," Franks said.
Franks told the news to a group of activists who planned to camp all night in front of his home to demand action on immigration.
Franks said, in his opinion, the immigration system is not working because its mired in the debate in Washington.
"It's a lot harder then for people to come here legally," he said.
Franks said the amnesty granted to millions of illegal immigrants in 1986 was the wrong way to go about handling illegal immigration.
"I want to do it right this time so that we don't have to deal with this again in 25 or 30 years when it's even harder to do this," he said.
Franks said he hopes the new system is rooted in justice and allows the United States to enact laws that will no longer encourage survival of the fittest when it comes to immigrating to America.
"One of the biggest things wrong in the world today is that, somehow, those who are not strong or those who can't defend themselves, the voiceless, are the ones that are crushed by the ones that don't care or don't notice," he said.
Franks did not give a timetable for the topic to be raised in the House nor further details about the plan.
Boehner's spokesman has said the Republicans do not plan to introduce a sweeping immigration bill, but instead will focus on making changes through several pieces of legislation, a plan most Democrats reject.

WOW! Top rate characters in this place. Cheating people out of money and proud of it, to boot.
I really like this fight so hopefully it stays together. Weidman's strong point, wrestling, has been an area Machida has found success in defending. Adding in his own own sweeps and takedowns the clinch is a dangerous place to be with Machida. I'll be pulling for Weidman but expect a tough fight.

Time for a change
Well, after much research and tweaking, its time to move my blog. The new site isn't perfect yet so you will need to bear with me through a few more stumbles, but it is an improvement. I have not written much lately because I have been using most of my free time to prepare the new site. I am hoping to up the writing schedule now that the site is mostly completed. I will continue to write about Grace Fellowship (a pretty big part of my life), my family (a really big part of my life ;) ), friends and things I am learning and applying in life.
I also linked my twitter page to the sidebar and added a page for Grace sermons (see the Grace videos tab).
The new site is aptly named "If praying were enough", which is a pretty good representation of my philosophy on life; "pray like it all depends on God and work like it all depends on us".
This will be my last post here (atgrace.wordpress.com)
I hope you will join me there:
December 11, 2009 5:50 PM
Excuse me for writing off topic … what wordpress template are you using? Looks awesome!!

Home Kent Business County News Article
With many areas of Kent still under threat from flooding, a number of businesses are faced with the knock-on legal effects.
Flooding across the county over Christmas and since the turn of the year has thrown up many unexpected scenarios for employers.
Many businesses have been unable to complete orders because of transport issues or a lack of staff turning up for work.
Lawyers have been examining contracts to ensure their clients are absolved of blame if they are unable to meet contractual requirements.
Meanwhile, many employers have been forced to tighten their belts because of lost
Many have been examining what they have to pay staff who cannot get into work, as they struggle to balance the books.
Solicitor Tilly Clarke, from Kings Hill-based Vertex Law, said: "While such problems are rare, even the most organised business should be prepared for the unexpected and the possibility of being in breach of contract.
"The impact of such difficulties will depend on the contracts you have in place. In particular, businesses should look to include force majeure (FM) provisions to excuse their non-performance.
"The clause, which translates as 'superior force', typically excuses one or both parties from delivering on its contractual obligations, either in whole or in part, following unexpected events or circumstances outside that party's control.
"These events include acts of God such as extreme weather, flooding, earthquakes and even volcanic eruptions, as well as social factors such as violence or civil commotion."
Yet even with an FM clause in a contract, things are not always simple.
Many clauses will carry requirements, which can mean a business is still in breach of contract if they are not followed.
For example, some may require the company to notify the customer within a certain period or do all it can to minimise the disruption to the other party.
Ms Clarke added: "Absence of an FM clause would leave the supplier in breach, assuming its obligations are clearly set out in the contract.
"If you are a customer who has suffered late or no deliveries from your own suppliers as a result of such a disaster, check the wording of your contract carefully to see if you might be able to take further action."
As well as businesses losing money, many employees have been considering their legal position.
Many have not been paid because they were unable to get to work because of the floods.
Solicitor Ben Stepney, from Thomson Snell & Passmore, which has offices in Tunbridge Wells and Dartford, said: "The first place to check is the contract of employment.
"This may specify whether an employee is entitled to be paid or not when they cannot make it into work.
"Many employment contracts will not address this though. If not, then the general position is that if the employee does not provide any work and the workplace remains open, they are not entitled to be paid.
"However, taking this approach may lead to resentment amongst employees, especially where they cannot get into work for a number of days. After all, the employees are not at fault here."
To deal with this issue, Mr Stepney says businesses should invite employees to take the time as annual leave or allow them to work overtime to make up the hours.
Another option is to let employees work from home or at a different workplace.
He said "The best advice is to plan ahead.
"Make it clear in advance what your policy is on this issue so if the bad weather strikes again, you and your workforce know where you stand.
"Also, bear in mind that all employees are entitled to time off to deal with emergencies concerning their dependents, such as a school closure.
"But there is no right to be paid for this time off."

What is a securitization audit? Was my mortgage securitized? Will a securitization audit stop my foreclosure? Will a securitization audit help me get a modification with my servicer? Lets start with a few definitions. A securitization audit tracks what happened to your promissory note after you closed your loan. Thats right, if you have a MIN number on your deed of trust or on your mortgage document, your lender tricked you. First of all the word lender is probably a misnomer. Most of the time they just deposited your note at a federal reserve affiliated bank and cashed it, using new money to fund your mortgage transaction that they borrowed at a much lower interest rate than what they charged you. The difference in the interest they borrowed the money at and the rate on the face of your note is a yield spread. That is the difference in the interest payments over the thirty years that you would pay at say 7 or 8 % (just for example) and the payments that the note the fed generated at 3% is a yield premium of 5% over the life of your loan represents alot of money they made just cashing your note at the fed. The fed desired to do this to use your note to create money supply. It added money to the US economy. The money was never borrowed from your pretender lender. Then the depositor pooled a bunch of these loans, decided upon a trustee for what is called an RMBS or Real Estate Mortgage Backed securites pool, incorporated the pool, transferred all of the loans (they didnt really transfer them legally but that was the idea) to the investment bank who would sell pass through certificates (pool ownership interests) to investors.
They would buy an insurance policy (credit default swaps) on many if not most of these RMBS's so that they could tell investors that their return was guaranteed and that way they could hoodwink Moody's and Standard and Poors (the bond rating agencies) into giving the pools a triple A rating and this allowed the dirty rotten investment banks to sell this pile of garbage to municipal and corporate retirement programs.
A securitization audit purports to find the RMBS that your promissory note is in and do some detective work to see if the pooling and servicing agreement (which is part of the prospectus for the RMBS) requires that the note be signed or endorsed by each of the parties that the note passed through to get into the pool. Most of the time this will be the case. Then we look for whether or not the notes are endorsed. If not, legally the pool does not own your note. If the pool doesn't own your note, do they have legal standing to substitute in a trustee in the land record? Are they legally allowed to foreclose on you? Even make an assignment? Of course not, see Horace v La Salle and GMAC v Ibanez. Look at the recent bankruptcy cases in New York.
So, another part of the securitization auditing process is to look in the land record at filings made by entities who are stepping up claiming to have standing to foreclose on you by virtue of their filings and describe the challenges the homeowner may be able to make as to the authenticity or potential fraudulent nature of these filings. Further, some securitization auditors keep a list of known potential robo-signers. These are individuals… go here to review what a roboo-signer is.. http://www.legalforensicauditors.com/2011/11/01/what-is-a-robo-signer-take-a-look/
Will type more later, gotta go to court.. BTW none of the above is legal advice, just the opinion of the author..

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) said that efforts to investigate how 267 victims and suspected traffickers were released had not yielded any result.
Mr Orakwe Arinze, the Assistant Director Press and Public Relations of the agency, gave the information in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday.
Arinze said that both victims and suspected traffickers were on July 29, released on "humanitarian grounds" based on the orders of the Kogi Government before NAPTIP could evacuate them.
"Investigations into the release of the 267 victims and the suspected traffickers from police custody in the state have not yielded much result.
"This is because the record of the released victims and traffickers are unknown," Arinze said.
He, however, said that plans were underway by the agency to make sure there was no repeat of such an incident.
He said that the visit and organising of town hall meetings by the agency in Ado Local Government Area of Benue was geared towards sensitising the people on dangers of trafficking. According to Arinze, this is where trafficking is known to be on the increase.
He also gave the assurance that the agency's would set up a zonal office in Benue to ensure the fight against trafficking in the state was successful.
"All this is tied to advocacy and working with the state government on its role in helping to fight trafficking and by making sure that the Child Rights Act is implemented in all the states," he said.

Damn, that looks like hell!
Also rather familiar, sadly. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with a neck injury and a staph infection on top of my already-existing injury! Good thing we humans are so resilient.
The 3rd metatarsal seems to have moved back closer into line, and remained there. The surgeon today felt it and said, "Huh. Well, good!"
An ADVrider fella came over a little while ago, looked at the DR350 in the faint glow of my backyard lights, and kicked it over pretty easily. He rode it around and came back and handed me a wad of bills...and full of feelings of regret and relief and closure and uncertainty, I watched him ride away on the slick and shining streets in the rain. May they have excellent adventures together.
I took a rifle class at the local range this weekend, and was actually able to hobble up and down the range, transition from prone shooting position to sitting, kneeling and standing, even under time pressure--pretty proud about that. I was also faced with the realization that my ability to concentrate and my energy levels are greatly reduced from the levels they once occupied. This made the first day frustrating--my shooting was all over the place and I couldn't get a handle on what I was doing wrong. Fortunately things started to come together the second day and went much better. Resilience! It will take a while to work back to hyper-alert motorcyclist mode, nonetheless. Another goal to work towards.
Unfortunately I injured myself overdoing it in the lap pool yesterday. I tried a little water jogging and suddenly it felt as if hot knives were slicing through the butter of my foot. I got to the edge of the pool and got myself under control with some pain-breathing exercises and some help from my partner, but the damage was done. Went in to see the surgeon and the physical therapist today, and was told I likely injured my arch from overdoing exercise before the foot was fully stabilized. They think the tibialis anterior tendon is probably inflamed, and there is likely at least one large nerve that gets pinched by the screws in the foot.
Did not get reassurance; got serious faces and "hmm" and "I'm surprised there wasn't more nerve pain before now" and a prescription for rest, ice, elevation...and neurontin. They want to prevent a chronic pain cycle from beginning. Gah.
For now, it's back on the crutches.
Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe. --Anatole France

Be Kind to Friends
OK, so your child may not have any idea what that kid's name is, but she is playing nicely with him… until he steals her ball… and she pushes him -- time out.
New friends are a lot of fun, but they also introduce uncertainty and conflict. Help your child overcome these challenges by building empathy and practicing kindness. These skills can be nourished, and playtime is the perfect time to do it.
Try these games at home and help your child practice six friendly skills:
Say Hello
Gather some stuffed animals or action figures. Select one and hide it behind your back. Then ask, "Where's Bunny?" Slowly and shyly bring out the friend (Bunny might be too scared and hop behind you again). Then grab another stuffed animal and have him introduce himself. "Hello, Bunny! My name is Bear!" Invite your child to keep the game going until everyone is introduced.
Play this feelings game in front of a large mirror. With a big smile on your face say, "Hi, friend. I'm happy to see you!" Watch your child's smile grow, too. Then let your child give it a try. Practice other feelings to contrast the many expressions we show on our faces.
Say Please
Try this variation of Simon Says. Instead of saying "Simon Says," the person in charge must say "please" to get a response from the group. Such as: "Jump on one foot." (no response) "Jump on one foot, please." (response) You might also try the game "Mother May I?" Substitute your child's name for "mother," and then talk about how it makes us feel when we politely ask our friends for permission.
Take Turns
Create an obstacle course. Inside, you might use sofa pillows to jump on or a coffee table to crawl under. Outside you might use a hula hoop to hop through or a jump rope to walk on top of. Take turns going through each step of the course. Say "my turn" as you demonstrate, then say "your turn" as your Sproutlet follows.
Fill two bowls with a different type of finger food. You might fill one bowl with grapes and the other with pretzels. Then ask, "If we both want pretzels, how can we share?" Give your child some time to problem solve. You can also turn this into a fun counting game. Say, "I'm going to share this many grapes with you…" and clap your hands a number of times. Give that number of grapes to your child. Then have her take a turn clapping and sharing.
Clean Up
Connect goodbye with cleaning up. At home, before a nap or an outing, say goodbye to the toy room and sing Barney's "Clean Up" song as you return toys to their places. When you are at a friend's house, your child can continue this goodbye habit. Helping with clean up is one more way to show kindness to friend, because it shows that you care about her toys as much as you care about your toys.

3) As telecommunication has replaced transportation and affects land use and zoning rules and regulations, we must, as the report acknowledges, encourage the new incubators of creativity, so-called creative clusters combining business, education, art and cultural institutions.
4) Metropolitan "regions" – not just cities – are the new centers of commerce. Cities, counties, prefectures within larger economic regions must work together to compete in the global economy. Governmental planning and development, as well as the provision of vital public services must be regional. Downtowns also play a special role becoming the "living rooms" of regional communities.
6) And perhaps most importantly, civic collaboration or engagement is critical. This of course is the reason that the foundation's Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement is so important.
New and existing organizations responsible for planning and development and for weaving the fabric of the new community together must become owners of the new economic, social, and political agenda.
Today, no one, no one individual, institution or organization can be left out of the process of making such vital decisions about a city's or a region's future. The foundations Visioning effort ameliorated that defect by taking the time to offer anyone an opportunity to comment on issues of life, work, play and learning.
Eger, Lionel Van Deerlin Chair and director of The Creative Economy Initiative at SDSU, was chair of The City of the Future Committee for Mayor Susan Golding.

Investors Unfazed by the Government Shutdown
This morning's release of individual investor sentiment figures from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) showed that bullish sentiment increased from 46.28% up to 49.2%. This is the highest weekly reading since January and represents the fourth straight week of increases. At the same time that bullish sentiment is rising, bearish sentiment plummeted to 17.6%, which is the lowest reading since January 2012! With all the hype in the media regarding the shutdown in October, it is pretty amazing to see that individual investors were unfazed by all the hysteria.
We just sent out a report to clients showing how the S&P 500 has performed following prior periods in the current bull market where bearish sentiment dipped below 20%.

Camps for children with
diabetes provide an opportunity for the child to meet
and share experiences with other children who have the disease. These camps
support the child in assuming responsibility for his or her disease and gaining
independence in diabetes care. It's also a fun outdoor experience that may
include swimming, hiking, or other sports.
Camps provide a
respite for parents, a time when they can take a break from managing the
disease. Parents can rest assured that their child will get appropriate care
during this time at camp.
These camps are run by trained medical
and camp staff. They aim to keep children's blood sugar levels within a target
range by balancing insulin doses with the increased activity level and food

On a very, very, sad note, our good friends
Ron & Cindy had to put Reggie down yesterday.
He was only 7. Typical for the Doberman breed
but so so sad. We toasted Reggie, Hobie, Katie
and Lucius with Champagne last night and just
sobbed! Pray for Ron & Cindy that they find
On a very, very, sad note, our good friends
Home again, home again, jiggity jig…
Can't even believe that we are back home
already! Why, we just left, right?
Vacations are always so short but I must
say that Gary and I always seem to come
home wanting more and I guess that means
that they have all been successes!
We just simply plan for the next one!
Our next one just happens to be in 3 weeks
which gives me exactly 21 days to lose
20 pounds! Hmmm, think I'll try the "Duct
Tape Diet"…the one where I drive over
to Home Depot, pick up some Duct Tape and
place it over my mouth!
Thank you Dean & Lois for such a wonderful
time! I know it was a short visit this
go around but it was great to see you none-
theless. Our trip back home was uneventful
and our reunion with Boo was over the top!~
You must come up this summer when things
get to hot down there! You are always welcome.
Today is a catch up day, laundry day and
well, must I say…Super Bowl Sunday?
I managed to get my hands on a really great
red, long sleeved Arizona Cardinals shirt.
I just love it! My sister thinks I'm a traitor
but I just figured…when in Rome, right?
I mean, it's not like th Vikings are playing
today so I thought, what the heck!
Gary and I plan to sit home and watch the game.
Quite honestly, I'm not sure I'll watch it all.
But what I do know for sure, whether I watch
or not, I would like for the Cardinals to win!
I want to mention that a good friend and
colleague of mine, Krish Kiefer, lost her father
to cancer this past Wednesday. I would love it
if you would pray for her and her family as
they grieve his loss.
Go Cards!
How Goes the Battle?
Well, we are battling more nuisance snow,
the kind that just mucks up traffic,
super cold temps and I have my 2nd cold of
the season that has barely begun.
And NO, I did not get a flu shot nor will I.
I'm resting a lot and thankful that I shopped
early when it wasn't so darn cold.
The inquiries are beginning to come in for the
upcoming wedding season and at a time when
you don't even want to go outside, I find my-
self thinking of spring, summer and fall 2009
weddings. Sure, it doesn't take the snow away
but, remember, I LIKE the snow! The cold? Not
so much.
This is the week that typically is slated for
hair and lots of it. We ladies like our fresh,
holiday hair! That reminds me, I should have
made an appointment for mine! YIKES! Looks like
I may get the Christmas bang trim again.
What is it that they say about the cobbler that
goes barefoot? Yea, that's pretty much me! :\
Boo has a new box to play with (thanks to Amazon)
and I think he is finally "over" the whole
Christmas tree thing (yay!). He's our little
gerbal and likes to chew paper, however, so my
nice, new paper that I got from Provisions
is in jeopardy and that sucks! I can't leave my
lovely wrapped gifts out under the tree cuz the
little JOY in my life likes to chew! Turd.
Our friends Matt, Jenny, Olivia and "Bucket's" (their
new dog) come home this Saturday from Holland.
They've been there on business for 2 years.
I have something new for you to do. I recently
photographed a mom's belly and her family knowing
that her son "Luke" would likely not survive this
Well, Luke is a mighty boy and is struggling
to hang in there. Please visit their newly devised
Caring Bridge site and Pray for and follow the
progress thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Here's Luke's CB Site.
Stay warm.
TCPPA Holiday Gathering.
Tonight is the annual Twin Cities Professional
Photographers Association's holiday party.
This year it's at Jax Cafe in Minneapolis.
I've missed the last couple of programs for
TCPPA so I'm excited to go and see everyone!
Did I mention that I'm going to be a board
member in 2009? Yep, I decided to step it up
and get more involved. This is terrific
organization and these are some magnificent
people not to mention fabulous photogs!
Tonight will be fun!
Gary got home around 3 yesterday. He'd been
gone since Wednesday. He'll travel out one
last time in early January…I think.
Boo missed Gary. It's always fun to watch them
reunite after he's been gone. This poor cat is
going to have a difficult time when we are both
away this winter…Yikes! I already feel bad
about leaving him. :\
Today is an anniversary for some new friends
of mine. This will undoubtedly be a tough one
for Kelly and Jeff. One year ago today, they
lost their little girl Aliah. I was the
photographer that responded to their loss
last year for NILMDTS. Pray for this family
as they gather with friends and family today
to remember Aliah.
Just 23 days until the big New Years Eve event
at the Airport MOA Hilton for the MOMF!
This is one big bash! I hope that if you don't
already have plans that you will plan to join
me on New Years Eve for this money raising,
gift giving, family friendly night of CRAZY FUN!
Have a great Monday!
Oh, one more thing…
Thanks for sending this Steve!
I think I'll share it here rather than
send it out in an e-mail.
1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you
take another look.
Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Life keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going
I have a loss to cover this afternoon out in Waconia.
Pray for the young couple that is losing their first
child at 20 weeks gestation.
Saying Goodbye.
This week, sadly, good friends of ours
are laying their mother's to rest.
I'm not really sure how I feel about funerals.
I was going to write that I "hate" them…
or that I "loathe" them. But I paused a moment
to see if that was, indeed, how I really feel.
Funerals are a time to gather, reflect, share
and console. Trouble here is that I think that
I relive my father's funeral at each funeral
I attend which, in turn, makes them all the more
difficult. But I know that death is apart of life
and I know that altho' we think "Why would God
do this?" that God is there to hold us as we
I pray for both families in this sorrow filled
time and pray for strength and healing.
I think that funerals are a time to re-connect
with God, appreciate those around us and think
about how we would like to make changes in our
own lives to affect those around us in a positive
light. In a word…funerals=change.
I think I will embrace these funerals and love
these families and thank God for my faith.
Cold night…chilly morning.
By that I mean that I got a late call from the
Charge nurse at Mpls. Children's.
Full term girl born at 3am yesterday failing.
I knew if I sat at the computer and on the phone
trying to line up an affiliate that I would be
quite possibly be delaying the inevitable so I
grabbed my camera and raced downtown.
Family all gathered. Mom & Dad exhausted and holding
their daughter in the NICU. No answers, no indications
of what the trouble might be. So not fair.
I pray that, in God's grace, she made it through the
night and by some miracle she hangs in and shocks
everyone by surviving.
I'm praying for you little miss S.
Mom's new room.
Good news…
My mom is in her new room. They moved her yesterday.
I will go and see her later today. Tim, Mike & Pete
went to see her yesterday. So we finally have her
out of ICU and are looking forward to getting her off
of all the wacky drugs and back to earth.
Bad news might be…
The set back that she'll have in rehabbing her back.
She would have been full on into that by now and
instead she's flat on her back. Pray that she is tough
enough to get into it when the time comes!
I guess I'll take my own advice and "not borrow trouble".
God has his plan for everyone involved here and it's
not my business to muck that up.
Things are finally feeling like summer around here.
It'll be in the upper 80's all week and the 4th is
looking nice. The whole weekend is looking nice, actually!
On a sad note…my sister had to get rid of Spice.
Spice is Boo's mom. Pete brought her up to the vet.
First, Sugar (their other Birman) started peeing everywhere
so they found a home for her~then last night, while the
whole family was sitting, peacefully, watching a movie,
Spice crawled right up next to Anne and peed right there
on the sofa. The NEW sofa! Anne says she's out of
the cat business. Of course, she's sad. She rather still
have both cats but can you blame her? I couldn't
handle a cat that just peed on stuff all the time either.
I'm sorry Anne. Now you can enjoy your salt water tank!
oh, wait, didn't one of the gobie's jump out and die on
your carpet recently?? That's kind of funny, really.
Everyone is good here at the Austin house.
Hobie and Katie tolerate Boo a little bit more with each
passing day. The lawn is flawless, the garden is
blooming and colorful and Gary and I still talk about
what to do for our upcoming 10th anniversary.
The jury is still out.
I have a wedding free week this week and will start
back up on the 12th. I'm sure that my sister's bash
will feel like a wedding tho'. She and Pete are throwing
a huge party at their home on the 4th.
To any of you who have never commented here on my blog,
I challenge you to do so this week.
Oh, and Jenny's "Dutch Word of the Day" blog is back
up and running again via Holland!
Keep my mom in your prayers, thanks!
Small world.
So yesterday I decided to send an e-mail
out to my logo designer and friend, Jessica
Rodin, and let her know my plans for my
identity that she created. She checks it out,
clicks on the blog link and up pop all the photos
of Danza and her mom & dad. Not so noteworthy, right?
Well, it turns out that the other mom up in
ICC at Children's, Alicia (who I met while I was there
photographing Danza) and Christa have become
the best of friends as their daughters are about
2 weeks apart and have spent many days and nights
together. I even took a few shots of Alicia,
Christa and Danza together.
Guess what? Alicia is a really good friend of
Jessica's & Tom's ("Boat Tom" for those of you
who have heard about his gorgeous Yacht).
Alicia is also a hairdresser and has been doing
their hair for years and they have just become
great friends and I can tell you from experience
that it's hard for me to even call some of my
clients, "clients" because they have become such
wonderful friendships! WOW, right!?
So now, I ask that you pray for Alicia and her
family as their little girl is still up in ICC
at Children's and they are missing their friends!
Pray for their daughter's continued success and
health so that they, too, someday soon can return
home and start their new normal!
Alicia is on the left…
Another fun thing…Alicia & Christa don't live
that far from one another either…cool, huh?!
Jessica wants to be in the homecoming photos
when Alicia's little girl goes home!!
2 Words…
Woke up to this today. Jealous?
Um, yea, I thought not.
Nice, right?
Well, I had a full day yesterday.
Met Nicki in Excelsior for an early coffee
that turned into a lunch at Jake O'Connor's.
It was raining but we managed to dodge the
rain a little by popping into some of our
favorite stores and a couple of new ones too!
Martin's is back in Excelsior and Omorphia is
new to town.
Ahhhhh, a cappuccino & the molten lava bailey's
dessert at Jake O'Connor's….oh, just SHOOT me!
Oh, we did split the fish & chips too!
On to part 2 of my day…I went to Abbott to
photograph a full term, Trisomy 18 baby girl
that passed in utero sometime Thursday.
Her name is Lauren..perhaps spelled "Loren",http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
in that her dad's name is Lorenzo.
From there, I went directly to the Depot in
Minneapolis (the hotel/ice rink) for my
Christian outreach foundation-Here's Life
Inner City.
I'm pooped.
Enjoy the snow!

24 designer handknits using Rowan yarns
Stunning colour combinations breathe new life into traditional colourwork patterns, along with some great cables, in this beautiful new collection of designs from Martin Storey. He offers a wealth of projects - jackets, sweaters, cardigans, a short coat, a waistocat and a ponchom as well as two throws, a cushion and a range of accessories: gloves, socks, scarves, a bag and a hat.
Inspired by traditional Scottish knit patterns, his designs offer a contemporary twist. For example, he transforms the popular Argyll pattern with some really singing colour contrasts and then uses a Scottish tartan design as border, while great traditional cable patterns translate into a modern style tunic, a cropped cardigan or a great poncho. A neat houndstooth check changes colour in blocked rows to create a stunning scarf, hat and mittens.
Martin's great eye for colour is aided and abetted by the exquisite colour palette of some of Rowan's most beautiful pure wool yarns in a range of weights, from 4 ply for the finer colourwork to Aran for some of the cables.
If you are looking for something special to knit, this is the book you need.
Martin Storey is renowned for his truly elegant knitwear designs. He worked for trendsetting company Artwork on leaving college and since then has been a major force in Rowan Yarns, designing for their Classic Range. He is the co-author/designer of Knitting goes Large, Classic Knits for Men and Classic Knits for Real Women.

His knitting has improved a bit since then! In fact, his first 'real' knitting challenge was a Patricia Roberts cherries and grapes slipover ("a friend's girlfriend had knitted him one and the only way I was going to own one was to knit it myself", says Martin). He did his degree in fashion textiles at Middlesex University ("I think that garment got me a place on the foundation course!"), included knitwear in his degree show and got headhunted by the famous knitwear company, Artwork, for whom he worked for fifteen years.
He regularly contributed designs to the Rowan magazine before being asked to design the Classic range for Rowan in 2001 and has been involved in knitwear designs for men, women, children, babies and homeware ever since.
