John Grevich, 94
John J. Grevich of Star Prairie, Wis., died Sunday, Sept. 22, at Westfield Hospital in New Richmond, Wis., at the age of 94.
John was born in Mt. Iron, Minn., on March 24, 1919, to Matthew and Mande (Uremovic) Grevich. John married Marjorie (Johnson) Grevich which union lasted for 62 years.
John attended schools in northern Minnesota and later entered Eveleth Junior college and eventually won a full scholarship to Hamline University in St. Paul. After graduating, he joined the U.S. Air Force in hopes of flying but was asked instead to work in a government-run Air Force factory manufacturing hollow steel propellers for airplanes. He joined Doboy Industries in 1948, and a short time later became division engineer. At the start of his employment the company only employed a handful of people. By the time he retired in 1986, 600 people had jobs at the New Richmond factory. With each of Grevichs patents, more employees were needed at Doboy. John worked his way up to vice president and during this time, developed quite a few machines. He holds at least 20 patents signed over to Doboy with his last patent March 14, 2013. John was not only a successful inventor but a generous man who donated to many charities. He also had a passion for elk, pheasant, and moose hunting, as well as fishing, gardening, traveling, and flying his plane.
He was preceded in death by his wife; parents; son Walter & daughter-in-law Sandra Larson Grevich; sisters, Anne Jarvi, Mary Linder, Katherine Wallen, and Helen Super; and brother, Mike Grevich.
He is survived by his children: George (Lois) Grevich, and David (Barbara) Grevich; grandchildren, Missy (Erik) Jones, Sara (Jeffrey Habisch) Grevich, and Lauren Grevich; great-grandchildren, Preston Jones, Jadelyn Habisch, Wyatt Jones, and Maxx Habisch; sisters, Emily Williams and Jennie (Warner) Rannow.

UPDATED, 9:30 pm, May 18:
Josh Gross, the former part-time staff reporter with Just Out, confirmed tonight that he was fired Monday, May 4 from the publication after exactly two weeks of work. The reason he was given: because he made a factual error in his reporting of a May 1 newsbrief in the paper about emerging queer publication id magazine, a competitor which launched their new monthly print mag today across Portland.
Gross said he was handed typed reporting notes from a freelancer with Just Out, and told to "work with this" to write his brief on id magazine, and added he was pretty sure nobody fact-checked or edited his work. Then, he says when he came into his office Monday morning, an e-mail from id magazine editor Duncan was in his inbox, which he described as "a crazy tirade" - Duncan was furious she'd been referred to as a "he" in Gross's news brief. Gross says he was then called into a meeting with publisher Marty Davis that morning, and fired over the mistake. "Marty was really paranoid about the whole thing. 'It'll be all over the Mercury blog,' she said. Apparently she was right about that."
More alarming than his firing, though, is a new allegation from Gross: that Just Out publisher Marty Davis asked him to lie about his sexual orientation, and fell just short of asking him his sexual orientation outright during the job interview process.
"It's illegal to discriminate based on gender or sexuality, and that includes being straight," Gross says. "In the job interview, she made this little comment, 'are you active in the gay community?' And I said the truth is, I'm straight, I'm an ally in the gay community." Gross says Davis' response to this was: "if anyone asks you, tell them you're 'questioning,'" meaning unsure of his sexual orientation, which Gross says he is not.
"I'm straight," Gross continues. "She asked me if I could maybe make out with a guy in a bar every so often. I found that so offensive. To ask me to lie about my sexual orientation to keep this job… it's offensive. I have no problem with who I am."
So, is Gross upset about being fired? "Literally after being out of work for a whole year, yeah: I was looking forward to getting off food stamps," he says. "Of all the things to fire me for, it was so fucking ridiculous. And I'm not the only person who thinks this." And what's Gross doing now for work? "Nothing," he says. "I was fired and that's it." Davis responded to an e-mail seeking comment by denying that Gross was fired from the paper, though he no longer works there.
Original post follows...
Aaaaand roll drama!
Portland's newest print publication for the queer community, id magazine — a full-color glossy monthly led by marketing consultant Christian Messer — hits the street today. By this afternoon, it should be available at coffee shops, bars and retailers across the city, including especially along the Stark Street corridor. It joins Just Out, published since 1983, as the second print pub aimed at covering the LGBT community across Oregon.
That's the easy news. But behind the scenes for weeks now, a bitter drama has played out between the two publications: a war of words and egos between senior staff members and supporters of both publications that has the queer community here buzzing.
"We don't want any drama and we never did," says id magazine's new editor-in-chief, West Duncan, who called the Mercury last week to tip us off on alleged "harassment and slander" directed at the new mag from Just Out publisher Marty Davis (full disclosure: I worked as staff writer and then news editor at Just Out for one year).
Duncan claims that via e-mail, Davis threatened to launch personal attacks against her and the magazine, in the May 15 Just Out edition, to try and derail id's launch. Duncan suggested Davis was angry because a writer from her publication named Josh Gross, in a news brief on id magazine in the May 1 Just Out, inaccurately referred to Duncan — herself a former freelancer for Just Out — as a "he." The inaccuracy incensed Duncan, who fired off an e-mail to Davis demanding a correction. No correction was printed in the May 15 Just Out, though
Duncan says she's heard that Gross, the writer of the brief, was fired from Just Out because of the incident. Gross and Davis have yet to respond to e-mail messages seeking comment.
"We've never had any beef with her until she reported wrong facts," Duncan says of the incident, adding: "I have no intention of starting a turf war."
In later messages, Duncan says the magazine is working to put the incident behind them, and to focus instead on the publication's launch, writing:
All I want is to put out a quality news source, and be a resource for all in the community, rather than continue to divide us.
Unfortunately I can't share the letter I have [from Davis], as it would only stir this sticky mess up again. I can tell you she has only sent me 1 direct letter, warning me of her "attack" that she was to launch on me on her pg. 3 address on May 15th. She and Christian (my publisher) have exchanged other emails, all of which she has never cc'd me on. Christian has. Her last email was yesterday, telling Christian that she's calling a truce and "doesn't want drama anymore between publications."
The launch at the Jupiter fell through as they have an allegiance to Marty and don't want to piss her off by supporting us. They are open to working with us in the future, but are too concerned about their image is there is any indication of bickering between JO and us. So, long story short, they are choosing the same ol' route for now.
She added she was "desperately looking for another venue now" for the magazine's launch party, which has yet to be scheduled.
Duncan got a copy of the mag to me yesterday, and it's an interesting product: certainly "community-oriented," light on news or substantive journalism (the cover story, "The Economy: How Our LGBTIQ Community is Winning The Battle," is an unsigned puff piece for magazine advertisers), and riddled with way too many errors of grammar and spelling for a 36-page publication just getting out of the gate.
"We're doing things differently," is how Duncan describes the mag's mission. "We're trying to focus on a wider array of stories." She offered some examples: "A lot more with youth and elders… and a lot more with the trans[gender] community. Ultimately we're going to do things more intellectually. Generally the rule in journalism is to dumb things down for your readers, and we know that the queer community here is really really smart." Duncan says the mag is on track to expand in terms of distribution (they've printed 2,000 hard copies for this first run) and size over the months ahead: they're already on track for their next issue, due out June 1st, just in advance of Portland Pride.
In the midst of a national print media crisis, are id magazine's dreams naïve? Duncan says no. "Our response is this is the best timing we could have chosen. We have very little competition and people are thirsty for new things," she says, "and have been asking for a new gay media outlet for a really long time."

No, your license probably will not be taken, unless the vehicle was somehow involved, but you may be going to jail. That may not be a concern as long as you keep your license.

Georgia law does not require the suspension of a driver's license for a simple battery charge. I guess if the judge somehow felt it was appropriate, he could order you not to drive as a condition of probation, but I would be very surprised if something like that happened.

An ordinary man can . . . surround himself with two thousand books . . . and thence forward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy.
— Augstine Birrell
Yesterday's Writing Group prompt: What character would you like to be from a work of fiction?
Whoa. This is hard. I read a lot. Like, a lot. And I read even more when I was younger, so I've read a lot of fiction in my life.
I love Laura Ingalls from the Little House books. When I was a kid I read them all over and over, and I loved imagining Laura's life on the frontier. I wanted to make maple candy on the snow and help Pa build the smokehouse for the ham and run my hands over the bolts of calico Laura and Mary picked for their new dresses.
Another book that immediately came to mind was In the Year of the Board and Jackie Robinson. I haven't read this book in probably more than 20 years, but I still remember Shirley Temple Wong and the summer she spends listening to the (then-Brooklyn) Dodgers on the radio. Her family has recently emigrated from China to New York City, and the book chronicles her efforts to fit in and learn a new language. She feels a kinship to Jackie Robinson, the first black man to play in the major leagues, because she feels they share the same struggles.
Cannie, in Good in Bed, by Jennifer Weiner is another favorite. The highest compliment I can pay Jennifer Weiner (and I've told her this, actually) is this: In the book, Cannie gets unexpectedly pregnant, and much of the story is navigating the pregnancy while dealing with an ex-boyfriend, a weight problem, and a difficult family. I read this book at a very hard time in my life, shortly after I lost my hearing. At the time, when I slept, I slept HARD. I would read this book every night before bed, and there was more than one morning I woke up entirely surprised to find that I myself was not actually pregnant. That's how deeply this book worked it's way into me. A lot of people dismiss Weiner as chick lit, but that severely underestimates her and does not do justice to the kind of books she actually writes.
Also, I basically feel an affinity for every protagonist Elizabeth Berg ever created.

"Creating a pathway to earned citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in this country is essential. The way we treat our friends and neighbors who are undocumented – by creating a mechanism for them to earn citizenship and move out of the shadows – transcends the issue of immigration status. This is a matter of civil and human rights. It is about who we are as a nation. And it goes to the core of our treasured American principle of equal opportunity." Eric Holder, Attorney General (4/24/2013)
There are six major errors in reasoning and judgment by the Attorney General in the preceding paragraph. Let's focus only on the most obvious.
Let's start at the beginning. There are natural rights and there are civil rights. Natural rights antedate the introduction of government because they arose and were provided by our creator, who provided the essence of human liberty. Natural rights cannot be taken away; they are unalienable.
Civil rights are those rights created by our legislative bodies with the consent of the governed. These rights can be created and taken away by the same legislative body with the consent of the governed.
So-called "human rights," on the other hand, is a political misnomer, an inaccurate and misleading term. The term "human rights" was fabricated by those at war with the unalienable nature of natural rights, by those who wanted to reverse the restrictions against government that protect the people from the tyranny of corrupt power, and by those who do not believe in Divine Providence and despise those that do.
Point 1 - Mr. Holder: There are natural and civil rights. The former are unalienable. The latter exist through the consent of the governed. The term "human rights" is an empty political construct.
The Attorney General also claims to create a pathway for 11 million illegal aliens. If these people are here illegally, i.e., they committed crimes to enter into the United States illegally, how can any of them earn citizenship? To earn is to deserve. How do illegal aliens, who steal their way into this country, feloniously use other people's identification, fail to pay taxes and commit further crimes against American citizens and fellow illegal aliens deserve citizenship?
The Attorney general claimed that, "The way we treat our friends and neighbors who are undocumented – by creating a mechanism for them to earn citizenship and move out of the shadows – transcends the issue of immigration status."
Our friends and neighbors obey the law. As a consequence, they are not undocumented.
Further, a mechanism for applying for citizenship so applicants do not have to move into the shadows has been in existence for years. My mother took advantage of it. My wife took advantage of it. The pathway resides within the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Those illegal aliens that have violated the laws of this country need not be treated as Mr. Holder's personal guests with an escort to the head of the line while honest applicants for citizenship are treated disgracefully. Mr. Holder's illegals, whose number is closer to 33 million, neither earned nor deserved special treatment. Citizenship is a privilege not a right.
Point 2 - Mr. Holder: Even Hillary Clinton agreed that citizenship is a privilege not a right (5/8/2010).
I conclude with amusement on Holder's choice of "equal opportunity" as a treasured American principle. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson destroyed, long ago, any political pretense of equal opportunity as an American value. The extremists controlling the Democratic Party can only hold out their outstretched arms in salute of "equal outcomes," a goal, by definition that can never be achieved.
Point 3 - Mr. Holder: The exceptionalism of the United States was built on "equal opportunity" to be the best or do the best an individual can. "Equal outcomes" is simply the failed Karl Marx communist philosophy of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
Mr. Holder, we now know you so much better.

My eyes are sweating
OK, well either my eyes are sweating or I'm crying because I'm such a wuss about heat...
The building I work in has not yet turned on the A/C and according to the digital thermometer in my office it is 89 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. Clearly as a gentleman of Swedish decent I am built for the cold...and when it gets above about 65 degrees I start to get unhappy... 65-75 though I can still function. Anything above 80 and my brain begins to resemble a brain on drugs as depicted in the 1980's
I simply can't take it! Why is it so damn hot! Its not even May yet... Anyway the whole point of this entire post is to see if anyone has the knowledge or ability to make me a Snuggie composed entirely of those blue gel ice pack thingies. I could just cool it down in a cooler, then maybe have some sort of absorbant covering to soak up any condensation or sweat ('Essence of Swede' as its known in the fine food community). If anyone can make this happen please let me know ASAP. I don't have much time left before I become a boiling puddle like "Pizza the Hut"

Google announced a new redesign for Google Play on Android smartphones and tablets. It starts rolling out today.
Google says the design is "simple, clean and - most importantly - helps you find great entertainment, fast."
"The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page," says group product manager Michael Siliski. "Similarly themed content is grouped together so you can hone in on a magazine to read or an app to try. As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore. We've also simplified purchasing so you can breeze through checkout and get to enjoying your movie rental or other content."
Here's a look:
For developers, the new interface also comes with a new purchase flow. Google's Purnima Kochikar explains:
Most important for apps that sell in-app products, the new UI offers a dramatically simplified, dialog-based purchase flow lets users buy your products without leaving the context of your app. Your app remains active and visible behind the purchase dialogs. When the purchase is complete, users return directly to the place they left, without your app having to reconstruct its state. It's especially powerful when combined with In-app Billing v3, providing a faster and more reliable purchase flow.
The redesigned app is coming to devices running Android 2.2 and above. You can expect to see it over the next few weeks.

Considerable fishing opportunities are near Eden Valley Guest Ranch. About 25 lakes and two major rivers are within a few minutes to 45-minutes drive of Eden Valley Guest Ranch. The elevation difference is from the Okanogan River Valley at 911 feet above sea level to over 4000 feet. Fishing techniques vary widely from fly fishing/catch and release to using the putty-like stinky fish baits. Some people have boats and some do not. Eden Valley Guest Ranch has ample space to park boat trailers.
The list of fish found in some of our nearby rivers and lakes includes: rainbow trout, perch, crappie, catfish, carp, small and large mounth bass, kokanee, burbot, brown trout, and northern pike minnows. Guests may request our free fishing flyer that lists these rivers and lakes and tells how far they are from Eden Valley Guest Ranch plus other information.
Many Eden Valley Ranch guests enjoy fishing in one of the nearby lakes. Ask for our free local lakes page with size of lake in acres and predominate species of fish identified.
Parents that want to take their kids or grandchildren fishing, but don't fish themselves, receive free casting lessons at Eden Valley Guest Ranch. Learning to cast a fishing pole takes space. It is important that catching a fish in a reasonable amount of time be considered. We teach casting with a fishing pole in the parking lot at Eden Valley Guest Ranch to prepare parents and children to go to the lake. Teaching young children to fish can be easier and more fun if you select an environment suitable for children. Call us for details!
Eden Valley will loan guests a fishing pole ready to go to the lake! Just Ask.
Children (and adults) will have more fun fishing if they are comfortable and entertained.

|Frontiers Records to release new album from PRETTY MAIDS in March
|Thursday, 17 January 2013 16:05
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of the highly-anticipated new album from PRETTY MAIDS, entitled 'Motherland', on March 22nd in Europe and March 26 in North America.
After their successful and highly acclaimed 2010 album 'Pandemonium', Danish melodic hard rockers Pretty Maids celebrated their 30th anniversary with their debut visual release 'It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)' in 2012. 'Pandemonium' showed the world that Pretty Maids were in a creative spring again, with the band in their finest moment. The melodic approach brought a return to the 'Future World / Red Hot and Heavy' era of the eighties, but with an updated sound and freshness that consolidated Pretty Maids as strong as ever.
In late spring 2012, the band gathered to finally write the follow up album. Singer Ronnie Atkins tells: "We knew it was going to be a tough one to follow! I remember back in the day when we had to follow up albums like 'Future World', we tried more or less to copy the songs from the previous album to keep the same kind of balance. But this time we just wrote what came natural to us and that's what became 'Motherland'."
The band teamed up again with producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe) for the new album. Ronnie says: "Jacob was a natural choice since we had a great experience with him producing the 'Pandemonium' album. The recordings went smooth to begin with, but then we had to start touring again during the weekends and this created some stress. Though I really feel strongly about 'Motherland'. In my view it has all the ingredients of a good Pretty Maids album, maybe even more melodic than 'Pandemonium' and absolutely, as far as I'm concerned. a worthy follow up."
Founded in early 1982 by guitarist Ken Hammer and singer Ronnie Atkins, Pretty Maids soon established themselves as a band to be taken seriously in the early eighties, having their breakthrough with the release - in April 1987 - of the album 'Future World'. This record soon gathered a universal recognition as a "Classic", which endures to date, and allowed the band to perform in from of large audiences thanks to their tour with Deep Purple and their appearances in the Monsters of Rock festival.

Schmidt family of Evanston to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra endowment fund, the orchestra will present an annual series of symphonic commissions by some of the most respected figures in today`s music. It is planned that at least every other year the commissioned work will involve one of the CSO`s principal players as soloist. This represents a major commitment to today`s composers by the city`s leading musical institution and deserves the highest praise. Some significant scores could enrich the repertory. In fact, one already has. The new work is Donald Erb`s Concerto for Brass and Orchestra (1986), and it had its world premiere Thursday night in Orchestra Hall with Leonard Slatkin conducting.

Bad Prince Charlie
by John Moore
Review by Drew Bittner
Ace Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 0441013961
Date: 25 April, 2006 List Price $6.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
Packard and Gregory have a simple, ingenious plan: put a tyrant on the throne, foment an uprising, get Noile's General Fortescue to invade, and make a fortune by selling out. They draft Charlie for their scheme by appealing to his attraction to Lady Catherine Durace (a redhead with claims to both the thrones of Damask and Noile). The fact that she's beautiful doesn't hurt either.
With the support of Pollocks, his father's Faithful Family Retainer (and drinking buddy), Charlie quickly encounters his father's ghost (who has a message--in iambic pentameter--from Beyond the Grave), an enemy noble named Ablemarle Gagnot (who seems to be interested in Catherine as well), a lovely teenage High Priestess with a knack for knowing the future... but he cannot find his father's sorcerer, Thessalonius, whose disappearance coincides with rumors of a Weapon of Magical Destruction.
Although Charlie wants to be a tyrant, it turns out he's not too bad at the messy work of rulership; he foils corruption,launches public works projects and worries over the kingdom's perennial drought. Things don't go smoothly, however, as Catherine appears to be playing games of her own, Packard and Gregory have not told Charlie everything, and the Weapon may be more than a rumor after all...
If Charlie can't figure things out fast, he may not need an oracular High Priestess to know his future won't be a long one.
Moore once again ventures into territory many readers might think owned by Terry Pratchett (and one or two others), and makes it his own. His characters are vivid and enjoyable, the puns are (mostly) inventive and the outcome is as unexpected as it is appropriate.
Fans of light fantasy should definitely give Bad Prince Charlie a try.

Check the Health of Your Company Pension Plan
August 8, 2008 by Mr. ToughMoneyLove
Filed under Retirement Planning
If you are one of the dwindling number of employees who have vested rights in a private sector pension plan (also known as a defined benefit plan), you should make it a habit to periodically check the financial health of the plan. Why should you do this? Because many prospective retirees are counting on receiving all of the pension benefits that they have been promised by their employers.
If you are in the situation I just described, your expected pension benefits are critically important to your retirement standard of living. Now you may be thinking that you do not need to worry about your pension because even if your employer were to default on its pension obligations, the benefits are insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), a quasi-governmental agency. This is a dangerous belief for several reasons.
First, if an employer defaults on its pension obligations, the PBGC will step in but from that point forward, no more benefits accrue. This could mean, for example, that if you are still 10 years from retirement, you may not receive vesting credit for those 10 years. Second, the PBGC caps the size of the pension benefits it will guarantee. Right now that cap is approximately $45,000/year. That number is likely to shrink because the premiums that the PBGC collects from insured employers are much smaller than the benefit obligations that the PBGC has assumed. In other words, the PBGC is grossly underfunded. Finally, if your pension plan includes retiree health coverage, the PBGC does not insure those. Losing that coverage could be the biggest financial hit of all.
So, how does an employee quickly check the financial health of his/her pension plan? There are two ways that I know of. The first is to read your employer's most recent 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC provides a convenient website for locating and reading 10-K filings. In your employer's 10-K filing, there should be a table that lists the "value of plan assets at year end" for its pension plan as well as "benefit obligations at year end." If the latter number is larger than the first number, well Houston, we have a problem.
A second way to access similar information about the financial health of your employer's pension plan is to ask your employer's benefits administrator for a copy of the plan's most recent tax filing (IRS Form 5500). On that form, under Schedule B, line 2A, will be a statement of the plan's assets. Item 2b(4) will state the plan's current liabilities. Once again, if liabilities are greater that assets, you have reason to be concerned.
What should you do if you discover that your pension plan is financially "unhealthy"? I suggest that you use that information as a reason to ramp up your personal retirement savings. You may need those savings to compensate for a reduced pension benefit that does not meet your expectations. Anger over broken pension promises will not put food on your table when you retire.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey
July 1, 2014 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Plants/Manufacturing , Chevrolet , Chrysler , Dodge , GM , Honda , Toyota , SRT Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com 's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry , which remains at number two. Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette , while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper . Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten. What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list. "Only ten cars were eligible for the American-Made Index this year. That's the fewest in the study's nine-year history. In 2013, 14 cars met the threshold, 20 in 2012 and 30 cars the year before that," said Patrick Olsen, Editor-In-Chief of Cars.com . "This consistent decline points to global nature of cars these days.
Who sold the most small/midsize pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates that, too
February 28, 2013 by Toyota Bloggers · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Car Buying , Truck , Work , Ford , GM , Honda , Hummer , Nissan , Toyota , Ram PickupTrucks.com has taken another look at the sales of its favorite vehicle bodystyle as part of an ongoing series . According to registration data from R.L. Polk, the Toyota Tacoma easily took the crown as America's best-selling mid-sized pickup, with 133,477 units rolling into new homes in 2012. For comparison, the second-place Nissan Frontier only saw 50,566 registrations. We feel compelled to point out that before Ford pulled the plug on its ancient Ranger , the company was moving some 75,000 units per year. That number had shriveled to 15,662 by 2012, which was still enough to surpass the Honda Ridgeline . Interestingly enough, one person brought home a brand-new Hummer H3T as well. But mid-sized trucks represent only a fraction of total pickup sales. Dealers sold a total of 241,471 midsizers last year compared to 988,326 half-tons. That segment was dominated by General Motors with 533,814 sales followed by Ford at 478,204.

About The New AgrarianI have been planting content here off and on since 2002, with occasional attempts at cultivation and pruning. All of it swirls around more or less agrarian ideas: food and agriculture, including some practical things, but also craft, community, technology, embodiment, history, sustainability, nature, and place. As you might guess, I've changed my mind a few times on all these topics since I started a decade ago. I cultivate, but not always in neat rows. Read my Explanation and Apologia to learn more.

• Now, the fun part - constructing a memorable message USP. Offer something that your competition does not offer and show why the customer should choose your product or service. The key is to solve an industry pain point or performance gap. Also, make sure you condense your USP into a clear, concise and easy-to-understand language that people can easily absorb.
• Integrate your USP into all marketing and public relations materials. Beyond that, weave it throughout the culture of your business – including your "elevator speech," sales presentations, phone scripts, printed materials, advertising and website. A good USP will already reflect who your business is and what it stands for.

A U.S. District Court judge this afternoon sentenced Pierce County's king of bad home loans to 10 years in federal prison for falsifying dozens of loans that eventually defaulted, bringing down a local bank and casting many people into foreclosure.
Shawn Portmann, 40, pleaded guilty last fall to two counts of conspiracy to submit false loan applications and submitting false statements to a financial institution to obtain a loan.
The failure of dozens of those loans led to the demise of Pierce Commercial Bank, where Portmann had served as a senior vice president, and foreclosure for many people who were approved for mortgages they couldn't afford. At his September plea hearing, Portmann told U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle that he'd fabricated employment, financial and housing records to ensure loans would be funded.
Portmann was one of the nation's top home-loan generators during the housing bubble. Federal prosecutors contended he and his employees generated nearly $1 billion in home loans between 2006 and 2008, raking in huge profits in the process. Federal prosecutors said Portmann pocketed $1.7 million a year during that time.
Nine of Portmann's employees previously have pleaded guilty and been sentenced to prison terms for their roles in the fraud.
" … Portmann risked the future of the bank and well-being of his staff and home buyers in order to satiate his own greed and ego," federal prosecutor Brian D. Werner wrote in a sentencing memorandum. "Portmann's conduct, moreover, was emblematic of the housing bubble, that is, tell any lie necessary, get paid first and push the problems that come with home finance on to someone else, another bank, the next borrower or the government."
Werner recommended a sentence of 14 years, which was the high-end of the range agreed to by Portmann's attorneys during plea negotiations.
The defendant's attorneys, Robert G. Chadwell and Krista K. Bush, recommended a sentence of 10 years, which was the low end of the negotiated range.
They argued their client was physically and emotionally abused as a child growing up poor in Puyallup. Portmann "threw himself into his work" as an adult to try to overcome his upbringing, they said.
"The fear of losing what he did not have as a child and had worked so hard to gain as an adult lurked behind many of the decisions he made to do whatever was necessary to continue to close loans," Chadwell and Bush wrote in their sentencing memorandum. "This insight is not offered to excuse Mr. Portmann's behavior — he is fully responsible for his actions and is not arguing otherwise — but to provide an explanation that is firmly grounded in his personal history and character …"
Nearly two dozen people wrote letters on Portmann's behalf.
Real estate agent J.B. Downie was once. Downie called Portmann generous, caring and hard-working.
"… this is what I want people to know about Shawn: Shawn Portmann is a good person who cared about me and people around him," Downie wrote. "It makes me sad to read articles about him that portray him as an evil dictator that yelled and swore and tried to manipulate and take advantage of every person he met."
Portmann also filed a statement with the court, in which he apologized.
"I have no one but myself to blame, and I look to no one else to excuse my behavior," he wrote. "I was arrogant and angry, and I misused my position at the bank. I am humbled and profoundly saddened by my actions, my poor judgment and the harm I have caused everyone involved."

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Hundreds of skateboarders gathered at the Austin Skate Park before making their way up 12th Street towards downtown to celebrate International Skateboard Day.
The mass of riders were taking part in Wild in the Streets, a 3-mile group skate through the streets of Austin. The event drew about 500 boarders.
"The turnout is pretty awesome," said Jeff Henderson, marketing manager with Emerica. "There's people that came in from all around Texas."
The event was held to raise awareness for the positive impact skateboarding, and its community, have on today's youth.
"It's something that connects people, and makes people happy," said Jojo Williamson, an Austin skateboarder who was injured in a hit and run accident in March. His girlfriend, Kaitlin Palmer, died in the crash. Part of the proceeds raised from Friday's event went to benefit Williamson.
"It's really crazy and kind of unbelievable," Williamson said of having his name attached to the event. "I looked up to Emerica so much growing up and still do…the team coming out here to help support me and the local area is amazing, I can't believe it."
Skateboarding also provided Williamson an escape from reality, helping him clear his head following the loss of his girlfriend.
"It just keeps your mind on positive things," he said. "If you're having a bad day, you just go out and skate and turn your day around.
"It's like a paradise under my feet."
Emerica and Boards for Bros also teamed up to donate skateboards to members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area. Boards for Bros collects and refurbishes skateboards, then distributes them back into the community to children who cannot afford them.
The Wild in the Streets event had previously been held in Detroit, New York, Vancouver, Montreal, Madrid, London and Los Angeles. This was the first time Austin had hosted the event.

As the first day of school approaches, everyone, from kindergarteners to graduate students, aspire to do better this year. To expect more of themselves. To overcome their challenges. And I commend this general trend of self improvement, truly I do. All I'm saying is – let's take it one step at a time. Just like we need to be mindful and compassionate with every other form of behavior change – diet, smoking cessation, whatever is difficult and new. Why not go at our decisions with full speed? Because new habits take time to form new paths in our brain, and we need to allow for this transformation to occur. Or we fall in the water, just like I did.
It was a beautiful morning on Lake Tahoe, and I dragged my older daughter to a paddle board yoga class. It seemed fairly innocent – the peaceful lake in its glorious summer, a purple paddle board, and yoga – which I have never done anywhere except on land.
What the heck do I know about paddle boards? Absolutely nothing. The closest I ever came to acquiring any marine experience was watching Jason Segal get surfing lessons in Forgetting Sarah Marshal ("do less, less, no, do more," remember?).
And what do you wear? Just my yoga outfit, but I was wise enough to leave my glasses on shore.
How should you approach new habits or new skills? Gradually, with caution, with some level of compassion, allowing your mind and body to catch on and get you where you want to be. Because otherwise, you set the bar too high, and miss it, which can be discouraging, even painful.
How did I approach this new skill? Like an idiot, that's how. At first I was good, I was cautious. Doing downward facing dog, then cobra, while maintaining my balance on the paddle board. Doing cats and cows – poses that take place on your hands and knees. This was good enough. This should have been good enough for me, acknowledging that this is my first time, that I was born in a city far from the sea, with neither lake nor river, not even enough water to allow people to hose their cars. And that I'm far from being a natural at this. Even my daughter, reluctantly awoken at what for her is the ungodly hour of 7 am, was doing way better than me.
And then the instructor's voice carried on the water, asking us to amp it up a little, and take warrior one pose, involving sending one foot forward, the other one back, about four feet apart. Too big of a split on a shaky board. Too much of an endeavor for a beginner like me. A paddle board beginner born away from the sea.
This was the moment when my body knew I should stay on my knees, but the show off in me wanted to get on my feet and assume warrior pose. I have been practicing yoga for nine years now, so surely I could do this on the paddle board, right? Everyone else was.
I'm ashamed to admit – not that I fell, but that my ego got the better of me. I got off my knees, sent my right leg forward, my left one back, and lost balance, falling into the nippy lake, yoga pants, tank top – the works. Getting soaked and laughing my head off. Because I, of all people, should know that learning a new skill, just like taking up a new habit, should be done one step at a time. That each step should be rewarding, even if you're still far from your ultimate goal. Because if you bite off more than you can chew, you may lose it altogether.
My daughter gave her old mother a shadow of a smile, a harbinger of how she will look at me when I spill my apple sauce in some nursing home. The instructor asked if I needed help. No. I was fine, thank you. Humbly I climbed back on the paddle board, and did all the poses in a modified manner, a cautious one. Accepting myself and the fact that easy does it. That it's ok to get there one step at a time, and that taking baby steps, in paddle board yoga or any behavior change we take on in life, is better done in baby steps than not at all.
I may never go back to that studio on north Lake Tahoe. But I do know that I learned an important lesson, on my first day of paddle board yoga school – reach for the moon, but allow yourself to get there slowly but surely. With new habits, new skills, new challenges, this is sometimes the only way.

How can Pi be Irrational?
Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 15:29:43 -0500 From: Anonymous Subject: irrationality of pi A student asked "how can pi be irrational if it is defined as the ratio of two rational numbers?" I have no clue and neither did anyone in my department. What do you think?
Date: 11/2/95 at 15:26:19 From: Doctor Ethan Subject: Re: irrationality of pi That is a really interesting question. The problem is with how you are understanding the numbers in the definition of pi. Pi is defined to be the ratio between the diameter and the circumference of a circle. However, these will never be two rational numbers. When you measure them you are approximating them, and then you can take their ratio to find an approximation of pi. Does that make sense? It can never be that the diameter and the circumference will both be rational numbers. If this bothers you then you join the ranks of the great mathematicians who founded geometry who also were bothered by the irrationality of Pi. Hope this helps. Write back if you have any more questions. -Doctor Ethan, The Geometry Forum

A lot of people seem to think the Israeli "apology" was a win for Israel. Barry Rubin:
Now, a compromise has been reached, apparently with some help from President Barack Obama. The agreement, which includes restoring normal bilateral relations, has been portrayed as some sort of Israeli surrender.
That is simply not true. The agreement is much closer to Israel's position. There is no change on Israel's strategic policy toward the Gaza Strip at all. While the word "apology" appears in Netanyahu's statement, it is notably directed at the Turkish people, not the government and is of the sorry-if-your feelings-were-hurt variety.
Moreover, Israel denied that it killed the Turkish citizens intentionally, a situation quite different from what Erdogan wanted, and offered to pay only humanitarian assistance to families.
Should Israel have expressed regret when it should instead receive an apology from the Turkish government for helping to send terrorists to create a confrontation? On purely moral grounds, no. Yet as I pointed out Israel did not abandon its long-standing position on the issue. It does not want an antagonism with the Turkish people nor one that will continue long after Erdogan and his regime are long out of office. Perhaps this was undertaken to make Obama happy and in exchange for U.S. benefits. But what has happened is far more complex than onlookers seem to be realizing.
Ron Ben-Yishai:
Israeli officials have been ready a long time ago, trying incessantly to reach an agreement on an apology over the May 2010 flotilla incident. But the Turks refused to accept the Israeli formula, and Israel – pressured by then-Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe Yaalon – refused to relax the wordings of Attorney Joseph Ciechanover, Israel's representative on the UN's panel of inquiry into the flotilla affair.
The Turks also demanded that Israel lift the naval blockade over Gaza and pay damages to the victims' families, but the main thing was an unequivocal Turkish demand for a significant apology, despite the fact that the UN's Palmer Commission ruled explicitly that Israel's actions were legal, although it did use unreasonable force which led to the death of nine Turkish nationals. Indeed, those citizens used extreme violence against IDF soldiers and injured them, but they did not use firearms, and thus Israel was rebuked for using unreasonable force.
In any event, Turkey did not receive international legal backing. The Turks refused to accept the wordings of the Israeli apology, which were in fact an indirect apology for operational mistakes and willingness to establish a fund to compensate the families of the killed civilians, as long as the Turkish government is the one that pays them.
For Ankara, the Syrian crisis has been a major headache. Turkey has suffered a loss in trade, been forced to rely on NATO for Patriot missiles to defend against border threats, and accepted just under half a million Syrian refugees. Ankara's demands for Assad to step down have fallen on deaf ears, and its requests for NATO intervention in the form of a no-fly zone and heavy arms for the Syrian rebels have also been brushed aside.
All this has been unfortunate for Turkey's leaders, but it was the recent introduction of Syrian chemical weapons into the equation that really changed Turkey's calculus; now more than ever, the country needs better intelligence and allies to bring an end to the civil war or at least prevent it from spilling over. Turkey cannot afford to have chemical weapons used anywhere near its border with Syria, and the longer the fighting goes on, the greater the chances of a chemical weapons strike gone awry. Israel simply has better intelligence on regional developments than Turkey does, and Turkey can use that help to monitor Assad's weapons stores and troop movements on both sides. In addition, whereas the United States and other NATO countries have been reluctant to support the Syrian rebels in any meaningful way, Israel has a greater incentive to make sure that the moderate Sunni groups prevail over the more radical jihadist elements of the opposition. As the situation in Syria heats up, Turkey and Israel will be thankful that they can talk to each other and coordinate.
To recap: Turkey wanted Israel to apologize, pay the families of the Turks that were killed, and lift the blockade of Gaza. Israel said, "We're sorry if we made any mistakes," will pay into a humanitarian fund, not the families' pockets, and said they will look into lifting the blockade if events warrant it. In other words, the apology is a non-apology and is pretty much what Israel wanted all along. Of course Israel should never have apologized for being attacked. But this is not a perfect world, and the imperfect world expects Israel to shoulder all the burdens, all of the time. Erdogan is already trying to weasel out of his end of the deal, and I doubt you'll see a lot of pushback from Obama or Kerry over it. But the fact of the matter is that Israel got what it wanted, and Turkey did not.
It's a non-apology apology, and an Netanyahu win.

Some of the DDI functions argument data types have been changed. These routines are listed below.
struct buf *getrbuf(int sleepflag);In previous releases, sleepflag was defined as a type long.
int drv_getparm(unsigned int parm, void *value_p);In previous releases, value_p was defined to be type unsigned long *.
In the 64-bit kernel, drv_getparm(9F) can be used to fetch quantities that are both 32-bit and 64-bit, yet the interface does not define the data types of these quantities which encourages simple programming errors.
The following new routines offer a safer alternative:
clock_t ddi_get_lbolt(void); time_t ddi_get_time(void); cred_t *ddi_get_cred(void); pid_t ddi_get_pid(void);Driver writers are strongly urged to use these routines instead of drv_getparm(9F).
void delay(clock_t ticks); timeout_id_t timeout(void (*func)(caddr_t), caddr_t arg, clock_t ticks);The ticks argument to both of these routines has been changed from long to clock_t.
struct map *rmallocmap(size_t mapsize); struct map *rmallocmap_wait(size_t mapsize);The mapsize argument to both of these routines has been changed from ulong_t to size_t.
struct buf *scsi_alloc_consistent_buf(struct scsi_address *ap, struct buf *bp, size_t datalen, uint_t bflags, int (*callback )(caddr_t), caddr_t arg);In previous releases, datalen was defined as an int and bflags was defined as a ulong.
int uiomove(caddr_t address, size_t nbytes, enum uio_rw rwflag, uio_t *uio_p);The nbytes argument was defined as a type long, but since it represents a size in bytes, size_t is more appropriate.
int cv_timedwait(kcondvar_t *cvp, kmutex_t *mp, clock_t timeout); int cv_timedwait_sig(kcondvar_t *cvp, kmutex_t *mp, clock_t timeout);In previous releases, the timeout argument to both of these routines was defined to be of type long. Since they represent time in ticks, clock_t is more appropriate.
int ddi_device_copy(ddi_acc_handle_t src_handle, caddr_t src_addr, ssize_t src_advcnt, ddi_acc_handle_t dest_handle, caddr_t dest_addr, ssize_t dest_advcnt, size_t bytecount, uint_t dev_datasz);The src_advcnt, dest_advcnt, dev_datasz arguments have changed type. These were previously defined as long, long and ulong_t respectively.
int ddi_device_zero(ddi_acc_handle_t handle, caddr_t dev_addr, size_t bytecount, ssize_t dev_advcnt, uint_t dev_datasz):In previous releases, dev_advcnt was defined as a type long and dev_datasz as a ulong_t.
int ddi_dma_mem_alloc(ddi_dma_handle_t handle, size_t length, ddi_device_acc_attr_t *accattrp, uint_t flags, int (*waitfp)(caddr_t), caddr_t arg, caddr_t *kaddrp, size_t *real_length, ddi_acc_handle_t *handlep);In previous releases, length, flags and real_length were defined with types, uint_t, ulong_t and uint_t *.

Avalon Airport
Avalon Airport is home to one of Australia's biggest events, the Australian International Airshow and a major airport for the region being serviced by Jetstar. Being just 15 minutes from the centre of Geelong and 40 minutes to the middle of Melbourne the airport has become a major budget airline hub with Jetstar making its Victorian home for flights to Brisbane and Sydney.
Avalon Airport is also one of the Geelong regions biggest employers with Qantas having huge facilities where heavy maintenance and engineering work is carried out on their fleet. The facility has the capability to completely overhaul their aircraft including their 747 fleet. Over the years Avalon Airport has been a major training airport for passenger pilots with Qantas using the airport for over 40 years starting in 1959. Even international carriers have used the facility including Japan's All Nippon Airways.
Being close to the Geelong satellite township of Lara the runway is 3075 metres long ad was built in 1953, it can handle 747 jets. The airport has been a major aircraft manufacturing centre in Australia, The Government Aircraft Factory later named Aerospace Technologies of Australia or ASTA produced many aircraft including the Sabre Jet fighter, Nomad civilian aircraft and the FA18 which have been an integral part of the Australian Defence Force for over quarter of a century.
Since 1991 the Airport has become the home of the Australian International Airshow, held every second March (odd years) The airshow is the premier airshow in the Asia Pacific region attracting many of the leading brands of both military and commercial aviation. Millions of dollars of deals are made every show. The airshow is more than a trade show it is open to the public and usually attracts upwards of 200000 people over the weekend event. Static aircraft displays and some of the best flying displays thrill the huge crowd at every event.
For people flying in and out of Avalon Airport has easy to use facilities compared to many of the larger Australian Airports. They have basic facilities but they are very user friendly. The terminal has a cafe and is quiet comfortable and very easy to get around. There are extensive car park facilities which are much cheaper than the larger airports. Taxis and shuttle buses operate to both Geelong and Melbourne. A passenger can disembark from the aircraft, pick up luggage and be on the M1 Geelong / Melbourne motorway in a matter of 5-10 minutes, it is so easy.
Jetstar previously operated flights from Avalon to Adelaide and Perth but these services have now been cancelled leaving Jetstar with just the Sydney and Brisbane route from Avalon. Currently Tiger Airways fly to Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth and Canberra. Tiger flights to Alice Springs, Mackay, and Rockhampton did operate over the 2010/2011 summer but reverted to Tullamarine in Feb 2011. The small regional airline Sharp Airlines also operates flights out of Avalon. Sharp Airlines fly to Adelaide via Portland, mostly on a 19 seat twin engined turboprop aircraft.
It was hoped that AirAsia X would service Kula Lumpur flights out of Avalon in 2009 with airport owner Linsay Fox announcing a 8000 square metre expansion to accommodate additional services such as immigration, quarantine and customs. The plan has been delayed due to the Federal Government rejecting the initial plan for an international terminal at the airport.
More support has been achieved for the plan since then and planning for an international terminal is underway. The new Victorian state government has also showed support for a rail line that will branch off the Geelong line. Ted Baillieu's liberal government will pony up $50 Million for initial planning and land acquisition. No date has been given on when more money will come to get the first train to a Victorian Airport.
Linfox management have been quoted in the media that they are out to sell the new international terminal's services to Airlines. Nothing has been formally announced as of 2011 but Indian Airline Kingfisher is said to be one of the airlines Avalon has been trying to woo to Avalon. Linfox Managing Director David Fox mentioned the Kingfisher talks in a press conference in 2009, later CEO Justin Giddings refused to confirm the talks and explained that they are having discussions with several low cost carriers in the Asia-Pacific region.

Will Bret Michaels be the first American Idol judge to sport a bandana?
Well, if it was up to him, he'd be more than happy to slip into Simon Cowell's now vacant seat.
"We have a meeting in L.A. in a couple of weeks and we're going to sit down and talk," he tells Parade.com. "I would love to be a judge on American Idol. I think I would bring a lot to the table."
However, the rocker does acknowledge that Simon himself is irreplaceable.
"I'm not built exactly like Simon Cowell, but, at the same time, I respect what he did," he says. "But I would have to bring my own personality. I think if they have someone in there to try to imitate Simon, it would be a mistake; he's an original."
In other words, you wouldn't hear him spew out caustic criticism in a British accent while wearing tight-fiting tees.
So what do you think? Would Bret on American Idol give you something to believe in next season or would it just be pure, er, poison?
Catch up on other Idol alumni here!

Aberystwyth, Wales (Jul. 2)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Palestine was admitted as a member of the League of Nations Societies, a voluntary union of bodies advocating the League idea, according to a decision of the juridical commission of the International Federation of League of Nations Societies at a plenary session here.
The decision was taken following considerable opposition within the commission, lead by the delegate from Italy. Mr. M. Dizengoff, former mayor of Tel Aviv, presented the case for Palestine.
With the advice that the Palestine Union should endeavor to represent all sections of Palestine, irrespective of race and creed, the Commission decided unanimously that from the juridical standpoint nothing prevents the admission of Palestine.

If you are having trouble falling asleep at your desired bedtime, a common symptom of insomnia, what role could a treatment called chronotherapy have? How is chronotherapy done? Where is the best place to undergo chronotherapy?

To answer these questions, let's review an excerpt from UpToDate - a trusted electronic medical reference used by health care providers and patients alike. Then, read on for additional information about what all of this means for you.

"Chronotherapy is also used in people with circadian rhythm sleep disorders. It involves intentionally delaying going to sleep by two to three hours on successive days until you are able to fall asleep at the desired bedtime. This can be difficult to do at home and is sometimes done in a hospital setting. After this, you must strictly enforce this sleep-wake schedule."

Chronotherapy is a helpful therapy for those who have difficulty initiating sleep. Insomnia may have many causes; sometimes it is due to a problem with the timing of the desire for sleep. There are many biological processes, including sleep patterns, that follow a circadian rhythm. Problems with this can lead to one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders, most commonly delayed or advanced sleep phase syndrome.

As a means to reset the timing of sleep, chronotherapy can be very effective. As mentioned above, it involves the delay of sleep by several hours on successive days. What may not be clear, however, is that this delay continues day after day, with the sleep period moving around the 24-hour clock. This may be illustrated with an example: If you have delayed sleep phase syndrome, you may find yourself falling asleep at 3 a.m. when you really wish to be in bed by 11 p.m. instead. You may follow the following schedule as you adjust your sleep timing with chronotherapy:

Day 1: Bedtime 6 a.m.

Day 2: Bedtime 9 a.m.

Day 3: Bedtime 12 noon

Day 4: Bedtime 3 p.m.

Day 5: Bedtime 6 p.m.

Day 6: Bedtime 9 p.m.

Day 7 and thereafter: Bedtime 11 p.m.

Such a regimen must be strictly adhered to, and often it is necessary to undertake the chronotherapy treatment in a controlled setting, such as in a hospital. In some cases it may be necessary to make adjustments in smaller intervals, advancing your bedtime by only one to two hours. Slight variations or lapses in the schedule will leave you returning to your old ways. Once the new timing of the sleep period is established, it should be strictly observed.

Roulette is a game that is one of the popular attractions in casinos and game houses. The term actually came from the French word for "small wheel." While many believe that the roulette wheel was invented by the 17th century French mathematician, Blaise Pascal, others state that it originated from Asia.

The ride can be auxhilirating when you are winning as in a conventional Casino, Online Roulette has no option of spinning the wheel and here the ball placement is decided by computer software or Random Number Generator.
Here you will be missing the usual hustle bustle, the croupiers, and a scintillating atmosphere but will be spared from the glare you will have to face when you win. Which I must admit can be an adrenalin ...Read Full Post »

TOWN OF VESPER (WAOW) -- Last time we saw the black bear, she was sleeping peacefully inside a drain tunnel. But now, she's not alone. Two cubs are also sharing the unusual home.
"I would guess these guys are probably eight to nine pounds," DNR Wildlife Biologist Wayne Hall said. "About the size of a poodle."
But Momma bear isn't happy. While Newsline 9 never disclosed the location of the bear's home, except to mention the town name, neighbors say her once peaceful dwelling has now become a tourist attraction. And all the attention is taking its toll on her two new cubs.
"The key is not to get between her and her cubs. She'll be as protective as she needs to be. If you start crawling in there she will get really aggressive with you," Hall said.
After consulting the DNR, our camera did not invade her space. But, we did want to know what these tiny creatures looked like. So, we asked the experts.
"They are nestled right in between her front legs and hind legs. She has made a little semi circle to protect them and keep them warm," Hall explained.
DNR officials say the bear picked the tunnel as a resting place after unusually warm weather.
"She was probably moving around quite late into the year and when the cold temps did come she probably just needed a hole to crawl into," Hall said.
Although she may be a beautiful sight to see, officials are urging everyone to stay away. Including us and our camera.
"Give them the respect that they deserve," Hall said.

Gents help please!
I am finally going to design a jumper for my boy (enough practice on me). He hates rib bands so I thought about knitting a hem.
I have seem this once in a book (didn't know whatI was looking at, at the time) and have looked around on the web but coan't track anything down that is clear enough.
I know I need to use a provisional cast on but the purl turning row has me a little bafelled. Some instruction say to slide through a third needle, others say just to pick up the cast on row.
1. has anyone used this successfully and could pass on any tips?
2. is there a site that explains this so well I will
thanks for any tips :)
I@m with your partner - I'm
I@m with your partner - I'm not a great rib fan. I've just knitted Rowan's Nevis cardigan which is in a rib and just starts with no edge.
Also, start knitting in stocking stitch - do a reverse stocking stth row (ie. purl on the knit side) and then carry on in stocking stitch. This provides a great hem line and you turn it up and stitch it. It looks very neat and you can do it on a smaller needle for neatness.
greeting from the UK and happy knitting
Check out
Check out http://whitknits.wordpress.com, she has detailed descriptions. Also, Elizabeth Zimmerman books go into detail about them.
Paul ,
Go to this link for instructions on crochet casting on. It will make sense after you watch it.
I don't always care for
I don't always care for ribbings either...I am with David on the hem, i would recommend doing the part that you turn back in with a needle that is couple of sizes smaller than that which you will use for the body of the sweater...the mechanics are difficult to explain...but I promise...it looks better in the end. If you do the Turning of the hem in the same size as the body, the hem has a tendency to look thick and bulky...if you do it in a smaller needle, this problem is mediated...somewhat.
As a designer, I tend to use a few garter ridges in place of a ribbing, it puts the same visual line, but doesn't draw in like the elastic ribbings do.
I also like to replace the ribbings with a narrow cable panel knit as a long strip which you knit until its length is equal to whatever your hem measurement should be.
I then turn the strip on its side and pick up the body stitches along the edge. Again, it gives the visual placement of the ribbing, but is far more interesting and not elastic.
Take light into dark places
Take light into dark places
Goood advice from David,
Goood advice from David, Lars and Mathew. First time, I didn't use a smaller needle for the inside of the hem and it was too bulky. I used a purl row after about 2 or 3cm, knitted the inside on a smaller needle and somehow managed to knit this to the body. When it came to the sleeves, I couldn't manage this last step so cast off and hand sewed the hem.
As Mathew has suggested, you can knit a strip the length of twice the width of the finished jumper, I used an Elizabeth Zimmermann suggestion of garter stitch. When it is the right length (and it only needs to be 2 or 3cm wide) cast off and sew the ends together, then pick up the number of stitches you need to knit the body of the jumper. Hope this helps.

If You Like Good Cookin'. . .
- Artist: Kally Price & the Lazybirds
- Genre: Jazz
- Release Date: 11/20/2007
Review by Dan Neal: Kally Price is a blues and jazz singer with a voice that is simultaneously melancholy, sensual, elegant, familiar, and accessible. Seeing Ms. Price perform live was an epiphany; she seemed to be hypnotized, lost in her performance. It wasn't that she was shy when she sang; Ms. Price was in a musical fugue - intense, yet vulnerable. She has a voice that's reminiscent of Billie Holiday, and describes her music as "a mixture of tight swing and sultry jazz and barrelhouse blues (eg: Billie Holliday, Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith)." Ms. Price recently released an album, If You Like Good Cookin with "an old blues and jazz band," the Lazybirds. The album has a feel like an elegant homespun cocktail dress; it's simultaneously sexy, fun, sophisticated, and humble. On the fun side, nothing beats "Poor Joe" and "Come Around to My House - sweet songs both. She's sexy and sad, a lounge singer dressed in calico at a cocktail lounge in purgatory, in "Yesterdays." The absolute highlight of Ms. Price's album is her solo vocal work at the beginning "I'm Gonna Sail Like a Ship on That Ocean." She's an unaccompanied bolt of pure spirituality as she hums and sings the first few lines of the song. Ms. Price has a few songs from her album available for download on her myspace page. They're certainly worth the download. And if they suit your fancy, please write Kally for a copy of her fantastic album!
