Twist Collective Blog
Mod Corner: Perianth
Hey Twistfans! Carly here. I'm introducing a new feature that you'll see on the blog now and again, where we take a look at how knitters have adapted some of our patterns to suit their needs. Let us know what you think about this idea on Facebook or Twitter!
We're kicking off this series with a pattern that has been adapted in really creative ways; Barbara Gregory's beautiful mitten pattern Perianth.
It was Barbara who sent me links to some of these projects, and we decided to show them to all of you! She told me that when she was designing these mittens, she imagined them as if cut from patterned fabric. The section between the thumb opening and the beginning of the decreases at the top was already a seamless repeat, so it wasn't a stretch to turn the chart into a repeating design. It's amazing that some knitters have recognized the potential and created new types of projects that show off the pattern.
Small changes can have a really big impact, and make your handmade objects uniquely yours. Here are a few projects that made clever tweaks to this pattern.
Ravelry user LeeRizzo made these fingerless, and they look super cute!
Consuelala flipped the MC and CC for the second mitten, making a fraternal pair that I just adore.
yarnstarved added mongrammed and braided cuffs for a truly customized pair.
This second set of knitters thought way outside the box. They looked at the charts of this pattern and saw some seriously innovative possibilities.
Neufriesin did a mash-up of Perianth and a pattern for a baby vest, and came out with delightful results.
Pinneguri made this remarkable blanket.
Many knitters have since followed suit, making amazing blankets using similar techniques, and an expanded version of the chart that Barbara has made available to those who purchase the mitten pattern. MrsSophie decided to dial up the intensity of the color palette
Last, but certainly not least is puenktchen, who made one of the most stunning sweaters I have ever seen, starting with this chart as inspiration. Can you beleive this began as a mitten pattern?
These projects all began with the same pattern, isn't that amazing? Thank you knitters, for being so creative, and showing me time and time again that pretty near anything is possible.
Twist Style Friday (plus bonus contest!): Lyssia
Every Friday we feature one of the garments from the magazine in a post about styling. We suggest different ways to wear the garment in question using mock-ups from Polyvore. We encourage readers to tell us what they think about these outfits via our Facebook page or Twitter, and if folks want to make their own outfits, please tweet them at us with the hashtag #twiststyle. You can find all of the Style Friday posts here.
This is, incidentally, also perfect weather for a light little cardi that you can just toss in your bag. One this pretty, you'll be excited for a bit of a chill (or some powerful AC) so you can show off it's goergeousness (along with your own, naturally).
I love the scooped neck, the plentiful buttons, the trim sleeves. What a pretty thing. Have you ever seen anything look so refined, so elegant, while also being covered in butterflies?? Seriously.
I put Lyssia with frocks of all sorts. From acid wash denim to gauzy evening gowns, Lyssia can hang out with all the coolest kids. She's basically the prom queen of sweaters.
Marnie made a set too! Hers is a day-to-night outfit, because Marnie is clever. Just switch a couple of accessories, and poof! You're evening-appropriate.
Do you share Marnie's classic style? Like all the froth and frill of the dresses I picked? I want to see how you would wear Lyssia. Put together a set of your own with Polyvore or with photo editing software and share it on Facebook, ravelry or tweet it with the hashtag #twiststyle and we'll draw one name for a free pattern of your choosing. Enter by Tuesday evening, and I'll post some faves and the winner on Wednesday!
I can't decide which of the butterflies is my favorite, but I *love* that they are all different sizes. Keeps the knitting interesting too. At the moment, I'm really digging this little bitty one on the sleeve. See?
Do you have a favorite? How will you wear Lyssia? Show me, and maybe win!
Designer Post: Trigere
Today, Linda Wilgus tells us about her inspiration for Trigere, the lovely summer top from our newest issue. Trigere is Linda's first contribution to Twist Collective. You can find out more about her by visiting her website.
When the most recent issue of Twist Collective came out, a kind fellow knitter complemented me on my pattern in it, Trigere. A bit puzzled she wrote that she knew French but did not recognize the word Trigere. What does it mean?
I named my pattern after one of fashion history's most famous designers, the inimitable Pauline Trigère. I have been a fan of vintage fashion ever since as a teen I began to shop for pieces at thrift stores in my home town in the Netherlands. As a knitting designer I love to design patterns inspired by the shapes and colors of clothing from ages past. I enjoy taking a feature of a vintage piece or a characteristic of a fashion period and then working that idea or feature into a knitting design that is at the same time very contemporary.
When I began to sketch ideas for a summer top for Twist Collective I was influenced by the A-line shapes of the 1960s and particularly by those of A-line dresses designed by Pauline Trigère. I wanted to try to evoke the simple, clean lines of a mod design, while at the same time bringing this shape into a thoroughly modern design and adding something interesting for the knitter to knit. After fiddling around with yarn and needles for a while and trying different ways to create an A-line shape, I came up with the idea of decorative side panels, between which sit the increases that bring about the shape. A rolled collar and seed stitch edges complete the design.
The sample shown in the Spring/Summer issue is knit in a bright and warm jewel tone, which is great for the season. Since the issue was released I have had the pleasure of seeing photos of Trigere knit in many different colors by knitters on Ravelry. Other jewel tones such as a bright pink, green or red make the design stand out wonderfully, but more muted and natural colors such as a pretty light coffee or cream color also work great for the top.
Twist Style Friday: Charleston Redux
Every Friday we feature one of the garments from the magazine in a post about styling. We suggest different ways to wear the garment in question using mock-ups from Polyvore. We encourage readers to tell us what they think about these outfits via our Facebook page or Twitter, and if folks want to make their own outfits, please tweet them at us with the hashtag #twiststyle. You can find all of the Style Friday posts here.
I included t-strap shoes in all my Charleston outfits, just because I think they are cute and retro in a way that fits the style of the sweater. Fiona told me a tidbit that confirmed my longtime suspicion that I might be a little psychic; t-straps came about in the roaring twenties, to make sure ladies' shoes didn't go flying when they flung their legs about dancing the Charleston!
She learned about this at the Bata Shoe Museum's Twenties exhibit. I can't even believe I live in a city with a shoe museum and I have never been there!! I'll have to go sometime and report back. Toronto is also getting an exhibit about David Bowie. Basically you should all come visit and we can knit in museums all summer. Okay?
As you can see, Fiona's outfit also involves twenties-inspired shoes so you can dance the night away without taking out anyone's eyes. They're Fluevogs, of course.
Susan K took a more Gatsby-esque approach, with a head scarf and espadrilles.
I love that they both chose similar color schemes, and used polka dots! Anyone else have ideas about how to style Charleston? Tweet them at us!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Twist Collector: Audrey
Today's post is brought to you by a Twist knitter named Audrey. She is a lawyer living in San Francisco. You can find her on Ravelry as shkitty. She has knitted from eight Twist patterns so far, and done a super lovely job of all of them. Read all about it!
I took up knitting as a productive form of stress relief. Other things I enjoy are dancing West Coast Swing, gardening, and scratching my neighbor's cat. My grandmother taught me to knit, purl, and cast on when I was about 6. I never made anything until about 1981, when, inspired by my college roommate's sister, an accomplished knitter, I made a single garment, an alpaca vest that I wore until the moths ate it off me. Decades later, in July 2007, I read an article in The New York Times titled The Knitting Circle Shows Its Chic. The article talked about a new crop of knitwear designers with fashionable sensibilities. Being a fashionable gal, this piqued my interest and I investigated further. I thought that the surest way to get some real swell handknitted sweaters was to coax my mother into knitting them for me. She had been knitting afghans, and I figured that knitting sweaters couldn't be any more trouble. I bought a couple of knitting books to entice her with, and, while waiting impatiently for her to complete her first sweater (for herself, darn it!), it suddenly occurred to me that it was theoretically possible that I might make those sweaters for myself.
Audrey in Unst was a pattern that I overlooked when the issue in which it appeared came out because it appeared to be so simple. But as I read others' pattern notes on Ravelry, talking about its interesting construction details, I decided to give it a knit and loved every minute of it. The garment was only superficially simple. It was not difficult to knit, but the pattern was full of perfect small details, including an i-cord bind off, and short row sleeves. Each element of the pattern went together with wonderful, mathematical perfection. And it resulted in a great, wearable sweater and was a perfect canvas for the hand-dyed Madelinetosh Pashmina I used.
One of the things I appreciate most about Twist Collective is that the patterns, whether simple or elaborate, are so "knitterly." To me this means that they often use constructions that are uniquely possible with knitting as distinct from sewing. This was true of Skara Brae. The clever top-down construction on this one wowed me. I knit it in a beautiful aubergine Kilcarra Tweed. Although the dark color somewhat obscures Skara Brae's intricate traveling stitches, it reminds me of one of those Victorian black dresses that at first glance are so severe, but you look closely and see that they are covered with pintucks and embroidery.
The next two Twist Collective patterns up in my queue are the Praline cardigan, and the Pussy Willow shawl. Of course, I have perfect yarn for both! I know that Praline will become a wardrobe staple, and I can't resist those unfurling buds on Pussy Willow.

On the current AG, some people have really looooooong abouts. Maybe on AG3 there could be customizable layouts to even it out or possibly split it below where it shows you what rank you are.
While I'm not entirely opposed to this idea, I doubt we'll do it for beta/launch. It'd be a pretty complex thing to program, and we'll want to keep as much a consistent look around the entire site as possible. I'll talk to Larry about it some more tomorrow.
this is a nice idea. i think you should go for it.
Me: "Hey Larry, users are asking about custom profile layouts."Larry: "Oh, no, probably not for a while."There you have it folks. If we build it, it'll be way after AG3 launch.

From the April 8, 2010 issue
One of the most important ways to prevent medication errors is to learn about problems that have occurred in other organizations and to use that information to prevent similar problems at your practice site. To promote such a process, the following selected items from the January-March 2010 issues of the ISMP Medication Safety Alert! have been prepared for an interdisciplinary committee to stimulate discussion and action to reduce the risk of medication errors. Each item includes a description of the medication safety problem, recommendations to reduce the risk of errors, and the issue number to locate additional information as desired. Look for our high-alert medication icon under the issue number if the agenda item involves one or more medications on the ISMP List of High-Alert Medications. The Action Agenda is also available for download in a Word format (www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/ActionAgenda1002.doc) that allows expansion of the columns in the table designated for organizational documentation of an assessment, actions required, and assignments for each agenda item. Many product-related problems can also be viewed in the ISMP Medication Safety Alert! section of our Web site. Continuing education credit is available for nurses at: www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/actionagendas.asp
Key: — ISMP high-alert medication
Improperly designed order sets can lead to errors (5)
Problem: ISMP advocates the use of standard order sets to minimize incorrect or incomplete prescribing, standardize patient care, and ensure clarity when communicating orders. However, if standard orders are not carefully designed and maintained to reflect best practices and ensure clear communication, they may contribute to errors. Frequently observed problems involve incorrect, outdated, ambiguous, or contraindicated content; format issues; and failure to approve and update the order sets. Examples can be found at: www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/20100311.asp.
Recommendation: ISMP has created Guidelines for Standard Order Sets in the form of a checklist (www.ismp.org/Tools/guidelines/default.asp), which can be used by interdisciplinary teams to evaluate all current orders sets and design new order sets. The guidelines pertain to written and electronic order sets.
Epidural bupivacaine and fentaNYL given intravenously leads to death (5)
Problem: In 2006, a 16-year-old pregnant patient at a Wisconsin hospital was tragically given an infusion of epidural bupivacaine and fentaNYL intravenously. Following the incident, which led to criminal charges for the nurse involved, the hospital invited ISMP to conduct an independent root cause analysis of the event, which identified four proximate causes and dozens of underlying system causes and performance shaping factors that led to the tragic event.
Recommendation: In cooperation with hospital leadership, the analysis appears in the April 2010 issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety. Full text of the article is available free at: http://psnet.ahrq.gov/resource.aspx?resourceID=17785&sourceID=1&emailID=19328. Healthcare organizations are encouraged to review the analysis to identify similar potential failure points in their own systems and implement recommended risk-reduction strategies.
Errors with insulin (5)
Problem: In events reported to the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority involving insulin products, 52% have led to situations in which a patient received the wrong dose of insulin or had a dose of insulin omitted.
Recommendation: To identify and monitor problems associated with insulin, the Authority has posted a sample tool on its Web site: www.patientsafetyauthority.org/EducationalTools/PatientSafetyTools/insulin/Pages/home.aspx. Consider utilizing this tool to document facility-specific process and outcome measures involving the use of insulin.
Wrong concentration of IV insulin infusion (3)
Problem: A new nurse in the emergency department helped a busy colleague by preparing an insulin infusion in a 5 units/mL concentration, following instructions in the drug reference attached to the dispensing cabinet. But the hospital's standard concentration for insulin infusions was 1 unit/mL. Although the bag was properly labeled, the concentration was not reviewed during handoff to the receiving nurse, who started the infusion according to the hospital's standard concentration.
Reccomendation: Ideally, pharmacies should prepare infusions that are not commercially available. When 24-hour pharmacy coverage is not an option, or under conditions that warrant immediate use, up-to-date hospital-approved drug guidelines for IV admixtures prepared by nurses should be readily available, and nurses should be educated about the procedures. Nurse-prepared infusions, especially with high-alert drugs, should be independently checked after preparation and during handoffs.
Baclofen programming error with SynchroMed II pump (2)
Problem: A patient was hospitalized after receiving a significant overdose of intrathecal baclofen. The patient's physician had accidentally programmed a Medtronic SynchroMed II implantable pump to administer an extra dose every hour rather than every morning. Medtronic had previously distributed a letter via its sales force to warn about programming errors and announce software modifications. The letter had not reached the physician, and software modifications had not been provided.
Recommendation: If your inpatient or outpatient providers care for patients with SynchroMed pumps, please check that the latest software updates for the N'Vision Clinician Programmer have been received. How-ever, do not rely on the updates alone to prevent errors. The total dose and percent of change from the prior dose are visible on a summary screen, but there is no alarm or stop feature for critically high or low doses. An independent double-check to ensure accurate programming is needed. Advise emergency department staff to consider an error if patients with implantable pumps report a recent refill or programming change.
Mix-up between vecuronium and valproate sodium injections in the pharmacy (1)
Problem: Two minibags were accidentally prepared with vecuronium instead of valproate sodium injection. Both medication vials were nearly the same size with red caps and had been stocked close to one another in the pharmacy. The patient was able to alert the nurse when it became difficult to breathe, and the infusion was stopped.
Recommendation: Sequester neuromuscular blockers in a secure, lidded bin (or a separate, lidded dispensing cabinet compartment) labeled "Paralytic Agent" in the pharmacy and any patient care locations where needed (e.g., ED, PACU, ICU). Some hospitals also apply a ShrinkSafe sleeve to the vials to warn about the drug's paralytic nature; how-ever, use on multiple neuromuscular blockers can make them look similar and contribute to mix-ups. Minimizing the variety of neuromuscular blockers will help reduce similarity in appearance (with or without the sleeves).
ADEs with rosiglitazone (AVANDIA), QUEtiapine (SEROQUEL, SEROQUEL XR), and testosterone gel (4)
Problem: During the 3rd quarter of 2009, ISMP's Quarter-Watch identified adverse drug events (ADEs) frequently reported to FDA. Rosiglitazone ranked highest with more than 1,000 reports of patient deaths, reinforcing concerns about its cardiovascular safety. QUEtiapine ranked second with 977 reports of serious or fatal events, caused mostly by a link between the drug and development of diabetes. Despite FDA warnings about off-label use of testosterone gel in women and accidental exposure to children, 155 reports were received involving exposure to women and 22 reports involving children.
Recommendation: If patients are discharged on rosiglitazone, alert them to cardiovascular risks and symptoms to report to their doctor. Advise diabetic patients discharged on QUEtiapine to monitor their blood glucose closely, and patients without diabetes to report signs of diabetes to their doctor. If using testosterone gel upon discharge, patients should be reminded to keep the application site covered, wash their hands after application, and to be cautious around pregnant women.
Designing a Medication Error Reduction Plan (MERP) (6)
Problem: To reduce medication errors, every hospital in California (CA) was required to implement a MERP approved by the CA Department of Public Health by January 2005. Essential features of the MERP include assessing, improving, and evaluating medication safety. CA hospitals are also required to incorporate and learn from external medication-related errors and take action to prevent them.
Recommendation: ISMP encourages hospitals outside of CA to consider adopting a similar program to significantly impact patient safety. Details regarding the required components of the MERP in CA along with self-assessment questions for evaluation of the plan can be found at: www.ismp.org/Newsletters/acutecare/articles/20100325.asp
Drug name mix-up between levetiracetam (KEPPRA) and levocarnitine (CARNITOR) (3)
Problem: Two children received levetiracetam instead of levocarnitine in error after a technician selected the wrong drug from an alphabetical pick-list during order entry. Both drugs have the same elixir strength and are dosed similarly in children. Neither child was harmed, but a patient on levetiracetam could experience a seizure if given levocarnitine in error.
Recommendation: Use both brand and generic names when prescribing these drugs, along with the indication. Add these to your list of look-alike drug names and build software alerts to warn about confusion. Another strategy is to change levocarnitine to L-carnitine in drug databases, or take other measures to differentiate these drugs in pick-lists.
e-Rx error caused by a truncated/broken word (6)
Problem: Space ran out on the first line of directions when entering an electronic prescription that printed in the pharmacy, and the word "until" was split on the prescription so that the "l" appeared on the next line. A technician mistook the letter l as the number 1, which altered the directions for duration of therapy from "7" days to "17" days.
Recommendation: Check your electronic systems to determine if words or numbers truncate/break onto different lines, potentially causing a problem on screens, labels, and MARs. If you identify problems, alert your vendor and send ISMP examples through our Medication Errors Reporting Program (MERP) (www.ismp.org/orderforms/reporterrortoismp.asp).
Carton may hold multiple lot numbers and expiration dates (5)
Problem: PharMEDium shipped ropivacaine in sodium chloride in a carton that contained CADD cassettes with 3 different lot numbers and expiration dates. The pharmacy technician assigned the same expiration date to all the cassettes while loading them in a dispensing cabinet. Products from other outsourcing companies have also been shipped in this manner.
Recommendation: Educate pharmacy staff regarding the potential for products with different expiration dates to be shipped in the same carton. ISMP recommended to outsourcing companies that a more prominent auxiliary label be placed on the outer carton if products with differing expiration dates if they are shipped together.
Ambiguous and dangerous abbreviation "UD" (1)
Problem: The rate of infusion for an IV diltiazem solution was unknown, so a pharmacist selected "UD" (ut dictum or "as directed") from a drop-down list to populate the rate field. The nurse thought "UD" meant "unit dose" and ran the infusion at 125 mg/hour. Nurses polled after the event also thought UD meant unit dose. The patient died after receiving the infusion.
Recommendation: The Latin abbreviation "UD" should not be used as it is too easily confused with "unit dose." Consider requesting that your computer system vendor eliminate the ability to enter "UD" in the rate field. Prescribers should provide complete orders; pharmacists should clar-ify incomplete orders.
Look-alike Sandoz ADD-Vantage antibiotics (6)
Problem: Ampicillin 2 g and nafcillin 2 g ADD-Vantage containers from Sandoz look nearly identical.
Recommendation: If you use ADD-Vantage antibiotics in your facility, circle or highlight the drug name on the container to draw attention to it. Consider purchasing one of these products from a different manufacturer.
Removing inaccurate allergy information from electronic records (2)
Problem: During hospitalization, "vitamin D" was erroneously entered into the allergy field of a patient's medical record. On subsequent visits, the erroneous information remained in the record. Practitioners in clinical areas could not correct the medical record; only an IT programmer could make the correction.
Recommendation: Clinicians and IT staff should be educated regarding their organization's process for correcting electronic information. This process should be streamlined and standardized as much as possible without jeopardizing the integrity and security of electronic information.
Inaccurate measurement is possible when using certain Baxa oral syringes (4)
Problem: Certain Baxa oral syringes make it difficult to measure doses. For example, the the 5 mL amber oral syringe marks 1/4 teaspoon at 1.2 mL instead of 1.25 mL. And some numbers on the 3 and 5 mL clear plastic oral syringes do not align with the correct calibration markings. The problems have been addressed, but wholesalers may still be shipping these problematic syringes.
Recommendation: Assess your supply of oral syringes and inform nurses about these issues if you have affected syringes. Advise practitioners to measure doses in mL due to the misalignment of the teaspoonful markings. Consider seeking inventory from another manufacturer temporarily, although there may be limited options due to the national shortage of oral syringes.

Today I finished the filtering lab work, took a walk around town, and am about to go help pack things up. The time here has gone very quickly because we've kept busy.
At least I got to work in a normal lab with a nice view. The other lab work was done in the cold room at -15, which was actually colder than anything we experienced outside. I caught a glimpse of Bonnie imaging some thin-sections of ice through the cold room window.
Sea ice is hardly a uniform substance. There a brine pockets where salt concentrates, and there is porosity and even fine vertical channels that convey water through the ice. You also tend to find green stuff growing on the bottom.
The thin sections of ice are a lot like thin sections of rock that geologists look at to study fine mineral structure, except that they have to be made and analyzed in a cold room before they can melt.
It's another gorgeous day. Today you can even see the mountains across the main fjord. Some ice blew in the other day, which you can see covering the water to the right.

None of them are hacked If I somehow trade a hack to you I will make a trade-back /RIGHT/ away~ Most of my rare Pokemons have been either received by myself or obtained through trades on here which I've always made sure of their legitimacy first hand. Some may be cloned however. I do not mind receiving clones myself unless they are Pokecheck clones with a "Premier" ribbon I consider those to be unlegit~ Thank you very much for your time.

Eyesight Exercises
Eyesight exercises are a natural way to help keep your eyes healthy and possibly reduce the risk of needing glasses or contacts. Like other body parts, eyes need regular exercise to keep them in shape. Although some eye problems occur as a result of the natural aging process, using vision improvement exercises could slow that process and help you delay the need for reading glasses.
Increase Blinking
Because computer users tend to focus on the screen intently, research shows that they blink less, which can lead to eye strain. Blinking is the body's method for keeping eyes moist, so decreased blinking can lead to dry, irritated eyes. Every few minutes, blink your eyes a few times to increase the moisture, which keeps your eyes healthy.
Rolling and Warming Eyes
Rolling and warming your eyes are good eyesight exercises, especially if you have spent a significant amount of time working on a computer, or scouring through a lengthy report. So, take a break! Wash your hands, as paper and computer keyboards are known to contain bacteria that can cause eye infections. While you are washing or drying your hands, roll your eyes by looking up and then slowly circle them ten times clockwise, then ten times counterclockwise. Once your hands are dry, rub your palms together to warm them and place them against your eyes for three seconds.
Focal Point
Every 20 minutes, find a focal point about 20 feet away and stare at it for 20 seconds. You can also hold a pen at arm's length, focus your eyes on it and slowly bring the pen closer until it is about six inches from your nose. Then slowly move it back, keeping your eyes focused on the pen. These exercises work the muscles responsible for focusing your eyes on objects at various distances.
These simple eyesight exercises can help keep your eyes healthy and promote better vision in a natural way. For more information on vision improvement exercises, feel free to visit us at North Columbus Eye.

Portrait: James W. Waddell
[View enlarged]
James W. Waddell, former Supervisor of Duanesburg, N. Y., was born where he now resides, June 1, 1826, being the only son of David and Mary (Coie) Waddell. His father was born in the north of Ireland, August 14, 1794; and his mother was born there, February 15, 1792.
Shortly after their marriage, which took place May 23, 1816, David Waddell and his wife came to the United States, settling in Duanesburg; and about the year 1825 he bought the farm which is now owned by his son. A sturdy, industrious, and progressive farmer, he labored diligently to maintain a comfortable home for his family; and, being a worthy, upright man, he gained the sincere esteem of his fellow-townspeople. In politics he supported the Democratic party, and in his religious belief he was a Presbyterian. David Waddell died May 7, 1862, and his wife died May 7, 1871. They were the parents of eight children, namely: Ruth, born November 22, 1817; Rose Anna, born May 24, 1820; Fidelia, born July 11, 1822; Mary Jane, born February 28, 1824; James W., born, as above mentioned, June 1, 1826; Margaret, born April 3, 1829; Hannah, born March 25, 1831; and Sarah M., born September 1, 1833. Of these, four are now living, namely: Fidelia, who resides at the old homestead; Mary Jane, the wife of Thomas H. Turnbull, of Rotterdam Junction, N. Y.; James W., the subject of this sketch; and Margaret, now the widow of S. Putnam, and living in South Schenectady, N. Y. Ruth, the eldest, was the wife of Elijah Rockwell; and Hannah, the seventh child, was the wife of Dr. D. S. Kellogg.
James W. Waddell spent his early boyhood years in attending the district school and assisting his father upon the farm, and later during the winter months attended school at Charlotteville and Fort Plain Seminaries. Succeeding to the ownership of the property, which contains two hundred and thirty acres, he has improved it by erecting new buildings, carries on general farming energetically, and keeps from twenty to twenty-five head of stock.
On September 3, 1873, Mr. Waddell was united in marriage with S. Electa Howard, who was born in Duanesburg, January 27, 1843. Four children were born of this union, and two of them are living, namely: George W. H., born August 8, 1879; and William D., born May 13, 1881, both of whom are attending a business college. The others were: Mary; and another daughter, who died in infancy. Mrs. Waddell died January 26, 1899.
Politically, Mr. Waddell acts with the Democratic party at national elections. He has been Supervisor and Road Commissioner, holding each of these offices three terms and rendering capable service to the town. He takes a lively interest in the public institutions of the town, and is ever ready to aid in improving the general welfare of the community. Mr. Waddell attends the Presbyterian church.

Chris Sciabarra
[Continued from page 1]
SUNNI: You've sure done yeoman's work on the analysis. This month marks the tenth anniversary of the publication of Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical and Marx, Hayek, and Utopia. How've those ten years been for you?
CHRIS: I've written quite a few retrospectives on the occasion of this tenth anniversary (see Ten Years After, for example), and I can tell you that these last ten years have been terrific. I've had my ups and downs, health-wise, due to a congenital, lifelong intestinal illness, which has required many surgical procedures and which has resulted in many cumulative complications. But, professionally, I've been able to complete my "Dialectics and Liberty" trilogy, which was 20 years in the making, in addition to editing anthologies and journals, writing articles for professional periodicals and mainstream newspapers, and discovering the wonderful world of cyberseminars and blogging.
SUNNI: Don't let me forget to come back to cyberseminars and blogging, sweetie! As expected, on Amazon the reviews for your work are all over the place, including one reviewer who calls you an "effective poison" for Objectivism. Do you still get a lot of negative email for your work? How do you deal with it?
CHRIS: The negative stuff ebbs and flows; it hit fever pitch in April 2004,with the receipt of some really awful email that came in the light of a monograph I wrote entitled Ayn Rand, Homosexuality, and Human Liberation. How do I deal with it? Well, you know, you asked me earlier about my favorite Rand books, and maybe this speaks to my naming of The Fountainhead as my favorite Rand novel as much as it does to my own strategy for dealing with the negativity. I think what most touched with me was Roark's almost Zen-like response to those who opposed him. I remember when, as a teenager, I'd read that famous scene where Roark meets up with arch villain Ellsworth Toohey, in one of the most understated moments in the whole novel. One small part of my Brooklyn upbringing was telling me: "Oh boy, now Roark is gonna give it to that bastard. He's gonna tell Toohey to shove it. Maybe he'll just punch Toohey or spit in Toohey's face."
So Toohey confronts Roark: "Mr. Roark, we're alone here," Toohey says -- and I've committed this scene to memory -- "Why don't you tell me what you think of me? In any words you wish. No one will hear us." And Roark's answer: "But I don't think of you."
He doesn't feel the necessity to debate Toohey, or to eviscerate him. He doesn't grant Toohey any metaphysical significance or co-equal status. He recognizes Toohey as a parasite upon the good, and simply wishes to step outside the role of host. He refuses to be either master or slave. A part of Roark's Zen-like response is always at work in the way I deal with negativity. When things turn ugly and people resort to personal attacks on various discussion forums, it does not help matters to resort to the same kinds of personal attacks in reply. I refuse to get into a pissing contest with my attackers. Those kinds of attacks say more about the attackers than they do about those who are attacked. Reproducing those dynamics in my own behavior only has the effect of diminishing my humanity. Through the years, I have come to the realization that many of those who choose to ridicule, to sling mud, to engage in ad hominem, are operating, essentially, on the basis of their own fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of difference. And it is, after all, fear that ultimately shapes and defines even the villainous Ellsworth Toohey. The Fountainhead provides us with a glimpse at Rand's insights into the corrosive nature of fear. I wrote about this theme in Fear and the Sith Sense. All of this made an impact on me; it clarified so much in my mind, and it helped me to deal with so much in my own life, from my own fears in facing a debilitating illness to the ways in which I've dealt with very rude personal attacks on my character, my integrity, and my intellectual honesty over this past decade. The irony is that some of these attacks are made by people who think they are behaving like veritable "Howard Roarks" by not granting me any "respect"; but in truth, they're just revealing their own fears, their inability and unwillingness to step outside the limitations of their own perspectives. Don't get me wrong: we all have these limitations. But when people can't -- or won't -- confront their own limitations, they fall victim to what Rand herself would have characterized as "thinking in a square".
SUNNI: That scene is an especially powerful, and effective one, Chris ... it's been a personal frustration for me that I've not been able to choose that path more often in my life thus far. Maybe your comments will help me improve on that ... Anyway, it's very much to your credit that you embrace and address substantive criticisms of your work. It can be hard to do, but is often a very rewarding way of improving one's thinking as well as writing. Two questions for you on this: How do you draw and re-draw the line between valid criticism and a crank's ranting; and why do you think so few pro-freedom individuals -- writers or otherwise -- seem able to deal with criticism in a constructive way?
CHRIS: Well, on that first question, I have to tell you that I used to be willing to let a discussion go on forever. I didn't distinguish between the legitimate questioners and the cranks. In fact, I'd sometimes bend over backwards for the cranks because I'd simply assumed that their initial hostility had nothing to do with me and everything to do with them, and that there might be a value in breaking through those kinds of defenses. And I've sometimes seen the Gandhi strategy, as I call it, work. That is: Anytime I encounter that level of initial verbal violence and hostility, I make an extra effort to be nonviolent, that is, to respond with civility. Sometimes, this has the effect of highlighting the other person's incivility. It has the effect of compelling that person to re-think his or her approach, or to stand out like a sore thumb in a discussion forum.
SUNNI: I know what you mean, and I've seen that work too sometimes.
CHRIS: I guess I've always operated also on what I call the "rose petal assumption." A friend of mine once observed that I was the kind of person who would find the one rose petal in a pile of manure. Instead of calling the whole thing crap, I'm busying myself searching for that rose petal, and sometimes getting pretty dirty in the process. But, the truth is, I do try to look for the good in people, even in my critics; I try to appeal to the best in everybody. Perhaps I would like to embody that Talmudic expression that Nathaniel Branden has often highlighted in his work: "A hero is one who knows how to make a friend out of an enemy."
This strategy, however, which is built into my very soul, as it were, does not always work. Some people are just constitutionally nasty and mean-spirited and it doesn't matter how many nonviolent responses one authors. It never makes a dent. I usually give such people three strikes. I mean, it is possible that in the rough and tumble of give-and-take on any particular discussion forum that a person might occasionally lose their temper in an exchange, perhaps once or twice. But beyond that, I've learned not to be somebody's punching bag. I've gotten better at drawing and re-drawing that "line between valid criticism and a crank's ranting," as you put it. Most of all, I've learned to stop tolerating rudeness. I am willing to engage anybody on any issue, but the moment my interlocutor treats me with ridicule or rudeness or disrespect, I stop the discussion and refuse to enable or sanction such behavior. I have also noticed that when people engage in rude and disrespectful exchanges, the topic of the discussion soon shifts from a debate over substance to a debate over style.
I know that in the cyber-universe and in the blogosphere, in particular, it's not just pro-freedom individuals who are loose canons in this regard. I've seen that same level of negativity, anger, fear, and hatred on display on left-wing forums as well. As for those in our own ideological home being unable to deal with criticism in a constructive way, I can only say that there is only one way to create a civil discussion: acting with civility. There is simply no substitute for actually practicing the very virtues one claims to celebrate.
SUNNI: Yep. It seems to me that some libertarians have taken what I think of as the "Frank Zappa approach" to conversation: since they're right -- at least on the importance of liberty -- they seem to think it gives them a license to act like an asshole.

This is a somewhat off-topic post, but I figured people I should mention it anyway. We currently don't have any plans for implementing this in Firefox. The biggest reason is that we simply haven't gotten any requests from developers to implement this. We also don't think that it provides enough functionality beyond simply using XMLHttpRequest. Especially the latter would change if someone wrote up a specification for how to use EventSource over SMS or similar technologies, since then it would provide a low-power way to push data for mobile platforms. This is not to say that we don't think other vendors should implement it if they want. I'd in fact encourage it so that we can see if it turns out to be more popular/useful that we've perceived so far. / Jonas / JonasReceived on Monday, 5 October 2009 18:29:18 UTC

TEL AVIV (Nov. 6)
In a comprehensive review of Israel's foreign policy, Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett told a press conference last night that no change was contemplated in the country's decision to maintain neutrality and not identify itself with any of the major world blocs.
Mr. Sharett said that no negotiations were in progress with Lebanon or Transjordan and added that the two countries had not made any overtures to Israel He added that the Israel Government was still determined to press for separate negotiations with each Arab state.
Regarding a possible exchange of population–100,000 Iraqi Jews for 100,000 Palestine Arab refugees–with Iraq, Mr. Sharett said that no specific suggestions had been formulated by the Iraqis since the subject was advanced under encouragement from the Economic Survey Group of the U.N. Conciliation Commission.
An appreciable immigration was expected to start soon from Hungary, he continued, but added that he was unable to say how long it would continue.
(A Bucharest dispatch carried by Reuters reported during the week-end that the Rumanian Government has announced it is issuing "almost a thousand" passports to Rumanian Jews wishing to proceed to Israel. The report added that the first contingent of these immigrants would leave for Israel on Tuesday.
(The New York Herald-Tribune said today in a Tel Aviv dispatch that Israel, through trade union channels, has appealed to the Soviet Union to intervene with Eastern European governments in behalf of free Jewish immigration to Israel. To date, the report added, the Moscow government has ignored the request. The dispatch said that a long memorandum containing full details of the new Israel request to the Soviets had been prepared by the Histadrut and will be released shortly.)
There were no current trade negotiations with Russia, Mr. Sharett said, except for isolated explorations for separate deals. He noted that Israel had taken the initiative in seeking to buy various commodities from Russia on credit, but had had no positive reply as yet.

GARDEN GROVE – Police shot and injured a driver who accelerated toward two officers in a Garden Grove parking lot on Thursday night, authorities said.
The shooting occurred shortly after 8:15 p.m., when police say a man "acting suspicious" was seen in a van in a parking lot at the corner of Beach and Garden Grove boulevards.
Undercover officers involved in an unrelated effort noticed the man as he pulled into the parking lot and called a marked police unit to the scene to avoid their operation being compromised, Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said.
Two uniformed officers arrived and attempted to contact the man in the van, Nightengale said.
As the officers approached the van it backed up, then accelerated toward them, Nightengale said.
One officer fell while trying to avoid the car, while the other reportedly fired multiple rounds at the vehicle, Nightengale said, striking the driver at least once.
The van reportedly went over a curb next to a Chinese restaurant and struck a parked vehicle.
The driver was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange, where he was reportedly undergoing surgery on Thursday night. Neither officer was injured.
Police were interviewing witnesses on Thursday night as a large portion of the parking lot remained closed off. The incident is also being investigated by the District Attorney's Office, as is routine with shootings involving police officers.

Bearded dragons are usually tame right from the pet shop, but just in case you had bad luck and got stuck with one that is a little shy or mean, here are a few tips and ways on how to tame a bearded dragon.
Bearded Dragon Behavior
The first thing you want to do before handling your bearded dragon is getting to know signs and behaviors of a bearded dragon. The last thing you want to do is piss off a bearded dragon who does not want to be messed with.
- Puffing their Beard / Bearding – When bearded dragons puff their beard, they are trying to threaten a certain item by making themselves look bigger. Sometimes they will puff their beard when you move too fast towards them or if you scare them. It is a defensive mechanism. When you see this, it might be best to let your bearded dragon cool off for a little.
- Hissing – Bearded dragons may also hiss if they feel threatened. Again, this is another sign of aggression.
- Mouth Open (Gaping) – Often, you will see bearded dragons do this when they are basking. The most common reason for an open mouth is to regulate their body temperature. Unlike people, bearded dragons cannot sweat, therefore to control their body temperature, they will open their mouth whenever they reach their ideal body temperature. Learn more about bearded dragon mouth open behaviors.
- Biting – It's obvious that biting is a sign of aggression, but this should not stop you from holding your bearded dragon. If you have a bearded dragon who likes to bite, you should consider getting some thick gardening gloves for handling. Not handling your bearded dragon will never help or improve your bond with one another.
- Tongue Licking – If you see your bearded dragon licking things, it's because he is getting a feel for the environment. Bearded dragons have a special organ in their mouth called the vomeronasal organ. This organ has specialized sensors that help identify new items. Snakes also have this organ which is why you will see them flick their tongues in and out a lot.
- Hiding – Hiding can mean quite a few things.
- Brumation – Brumation occurs during the colder months of the year (winter). When your bearded dragon goes into brumation, he will usually hide somewhere to go to sleep or usually just pick a corner and lay down all day. They will be in brumation for few weeks or months without eating, so do not worry if your bearded dragon shows these signs for a long period of time. During the warmer months, your bearded dragon will come out of brumation and become more active and hungry. Make sure you have proper lighting, because you do not want to confuse brumation with metabolic bone disease. The symptoms are quite similar.
- Scared – Obviously hiding could also mean being scared. If you see that your bearded dragon goes to hide every time you get near the tank or put your hand into the tank, you might want to work on taming your bearded dragon a little better. These are usually signs of being scared or shy.
- Cooling off – Hides give cool spots in the enclosure to allow your bearded dragon to cool off from time to time when he has had enough heat. Your bearded dragon might be hiding just to cool off. Additional to a hide, you should have a cool spot in the enclosure without a hide. The entire enclosure should not be hot.
- Head Bobbing – Head bobbing usually occurs when other animals are present. Head bobbing could mean a sign of territorial aggression or even communication with other bearded dragons.
Taming a Bearded Dragon
Now we get into the fun part. The actual taming… Have in mind, this will be a slow process and can take a longer period of time (depending on your bearded dragon). The below method works with taming baby and adult bearded dragons. We use this method with both aged bearded dragons and have had no problems.
- Week 1: Right when you get your bearded dragon, your goal is to get him to eat and become accustom to his new surroundings. Do not try to handle or pet your bearded dragon at this time. Handling or messing with your bearded dragon at this time will make him feel scared and might even make him not eat for a few days.
- Week 2: Your bearded dragon should be eating by now. Now, you can start placing the feeders 'with your hand' into the enclosure. This will show your bearded dragon that your hand doesn't mean any arm and is not a threat. Do this for a full week. Your bearded dragon will most likely run from your hand at this point or just stay still. Avoid getting close to the head area (if dealing with an adult).
- Week 3: Spend a few minutes of each day by putting your hand into the enclosure and moving it around so your bearded dragon gets accustom to hand movements and is not surprised by any movement when you start to handle him. If you are doing this with an adult bearded dragon, try not to get too close to its head as he may be defensive and try to bite.
- Week 4: Place a few insects on your hand and try to hand feed it to your bearded dragon with an open palm with your fingers almost pointing downwards. If you use the tip of your fingers to feed your bearded dragon, there might be a chance that your bearded dragon might bite your fingers on accident. The open palm will allow for no harm to be done.
- Week 5: Remove the hides so your bearded dragon can not run into anything and start moving your hand around like you did in week 3. Then slowly start touching your bearded dragon softly. Stay away from touching the tail or the head. Stick to the body area. Do this for no more than 5 minutes every other day for a full week.
- Week 6: This is the fun part. Repeat week 5 and slowly try to pick your bearded dragon up. Do not pick your beardie up by its tail. Slowly cup your bearded dragon from underneath him and lift him up. Once you have him in your hands, stroke his back and just relax with him. Handle your bearded dragon on the floor or on your bed as they tend to run off hands a lot and can get injured when falling from certain heights. The best way to handle your lizard is to make sure you have all 4 of his legs supported by one of your hands or arms. If your bearded dragon does not have anything to grab onto with even one of its legs, he may panic and try to wiggle out of your hands. or run off.
After all that, your bearded dragon should be tamed enough for you to handle him regularly. Yeah, 6 weeks of taming might sound like a lot, but it's worth the time and patience, especially if you're going to be stuck with him for another 10 years. Taming a bearded dragon correctly will pay off in the long run.

Wanting a bigger penis is a common desire for many men. But most men will not resort to having someone else like a surgeon accomplish this goal, or even having some contraption or pump mechanism try to accomplish this goal. You want to make your penis bigger by yourself and that's totally understandable and it's really the safest, most legitimate and honest way to accomplish increased size anyway.
You hear of some men trying to take these shortcuts in order to try and make their penis bigger. Whether it's phony penis pills that only drain their wallet, or ridiculous, complicated, and expensive surgery. Some guys even walk around town with some sort of stretching apparatus attached to you know where! Some will go to ridiculous lengths to achieve enlargement, when if they would just take some time and learn how to gain size on their own they could get the results that they want.
So, how to make your penis bigger by yourself without having to resort to stupid tactics and dangerous methods? It's not that difficult if you invest some time each day (around 10-20 minutes with the time decreasing as you progress).
You don't need anything extra or don't need to consult anyone in person or even through email on how to gain size. You can get the information all on your own and perform the routine on your own, in complete privacy.
Everything you need will be online, either through an e-book or an enlarging website. And everything will revolve around natural exercises that you do with your own hands, which actually are the most effective and safest methods for both length and girth size increases.
To begin, you'll need around 20-30 minutes to learn the exercises and then get used to the routine. But after that you can lessen the amount of time by half, and some routines even have a 6 minute a day routine for quick workouts and maximum size results, all performed by yourself with no need for machines or assistance.
Here's an excellent at home program which guarantees 1-4 inch size increases- http://exercise-enlarging.com/

Judson Is April Employee of the Month
Posted: April 1, 2002 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
April Employee of the Month Diane Judson is a support technician for Student Health Services, "a title that fails to adequately describe the numerous day-to-day tasks that she performs so well," says Mary Ann Braun, director of the Health and Wellness Center.
Judson came to George Mason from a temp agency in January 2000 during a hectic time for Student Health Services and immediately took on a leadership role that she maintains today. Judson quickly learned to process the many facets of the front desk where she receives patients. In addition, she manages specialty clinics that provide flu shots for faculty, students, and staff. "Even the most experienced become flustered at this time of year, but not Diane," says coworker Carol Tilah.
Judson orients new students to the routine of Student Health Services. Her colleagues say she is patient and informative as she explains the duties. "Diane has been truly a lifesaver from the moment of her arrival, " says Diane Skwisz, a family nurse practitioner and coworker. "She brings new meaning to the words multi-tasking."
According to her nomination letters, Judson is able to greet chaos with a smile while simultaneously training new workers, sharing her computer expertise, and responding to increased administrative requests. All the while she ensures that service and care for the patients is not compromised.
