Carolina Panthers
Panthers DC Sean McDermott named next head coach of Buffalo Bills
Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott realized his long-stated goal of becoming an NFL head coach on Wednesday when he accepted the Buffalo Bills' coaching offer.
McDermott will succeed Rex Ryan in Buffalo, where the team announced his hiring on Wednesday.
McDermott, passed over for several head coaching jobs in recent years, finalized the deal after a second interview with the Bills in Boca Raton, Fla., where team owner Terry Pegula has a home.
McDermott, 42, will try to breathe life into a Bills organization that hasn't been to the playoffs since 1999.
His hiring leaves Panthers head coach Ron Rivera in the market for a defensive coordinator, although Rivera likely will not look long or far for McDermott's replacement.
Panthers assistant head coach and secondary coach Steve Wilks is expected to be named McDermott's successor, according to team sources.
Wilks, 47, interviewed for the Los Angeles Rams' head coaching vacancy last week and also had drawn interest from Washington for its defensive coordinator opening.
McDermott oversaw a top-10 defense in four of his six seasons with Carolina and was the only coordinator to lead a top-10 unit every year from 2012-2015.
McDermott, a former Philadelphia Eagles assistant, arrived in Charlotte with Rivera in 2011. He oversaw a top-10 defense in four of his six seasons, and was the only coordinator to lead a top-10 unit every year from 2012-2015.
Both Rivera and Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, McDermott's boss in Philadelphia, have praised McDermott's head coaching makeup in recent weeks.
McDermott becomes the second Rivera assistant to land a head coaching job. Former Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski lasted only one season as the Cleveland Browns' coach, in 2013.
McDermott's hiring also doubles the William & Mary coaching tree in the NFL. McDermott, a walk-on who became an all-conference safety, was a teammate of Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin at the FCS school in Williamsburg, Va.
McDermott interviewed for the Cleveland and Tampa Bay jobs last year that went to Hue Jackson and Dirk Koetter, part of a trend that saw all seven openings go to offensive coaches.
That offensive-minded cycle continued with Jacksonville's hiring of Doug Marrone this week.
But Wednesday two defensive coaches got top jobs with McDermott going to Buffalo and Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph being hired by Denver.

01/19/2018 Reuters
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tijuana native Alma Martinez will cast her first-ever vote for a Mexican president this July, but from across the country's northern border, where she is among hundreds of thousands of co-nationals whose participation could be decisive in a close race.
Seven times as many Mexicans in the United States have received voting credentials under new rules that let citizens sign up at local consulates rather than in Mexico, compared with the last presidential election six years ago.
Many are first time voters.
"It could potentially decide the election," said David Ayon, a senior fellow at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

I've been trying very hard to find a proper solution for the challenge being put up by MySQL. Up untill now we had to compile the installation of MySQL by hand to get the proper shared libraries to be able to compile PHP, Postfix and all the rest without a problem. After extensive testing on my test server I found that the binary installation of MySQL 5.1.34 works without a problem which would cease the need to compile MySQL again.
The problem is that the binary releases use a different layout of the libraries and include files then the source release and I haven't found a way to solve this issue yet without manually moving the files.
The binary release will put everything in '
/usr/local/mysql/include' and '
/usr/local/mysql/include' while the source code install will put everything in '
/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql' and '
/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql'. There is a subtle difference but that difference will impact all the other compilation instructions on this site.
I wouldn't mind going for the binary install procedure but MySQL has shown us that in the 5.0.x versions not release a binary package all the time but they will always have a source only release when they release. See also: How and When Updates Are Released.
I need you help on making some difficult choices:
- Just live with the binary versions and change the rest of the compile instructions to reflect the new locations of the files
- Keep using the MySQL compile instructions and keep everythign as is which means keep compiling MySQL to keep everythign working
- Use both methods independently, so use binary or source when needed and have seperate instructions for mysql source or binary installs for all the other stuff.
If you have another choice or solution to get the binary and source installations in sync I would love to hear about it.

It is this attitude that has fairly much created Beijing and Shanghai cast away shows, and at instances this can be unfortunate due to the fact there were a couple of rather exciting vehicles that debut in Beijing that are headed for the US extremely soon. Pros will be able to safely apply heat or chemical remedies without putting you, your family, or your auto in danger. Automobile owners are becoming a lot more aware of vehicle thief and taking precautions and buying protection against car thieves' factors such a kill switches in your vehicle can deter thieves. I advocate acquiring a third opinion, shocks will not trigger a vibration, shock absorbers do just that, they absorb shock and stop your car from bouncing. Get a buddy with a diverse colour car to park subsequent to yours for 24 hours and see if there is any distinction in the hit rates from birds.
We analyse the background to all this, the consequences for journalists and journalism and the implications for online news organizations. But if your energy steering belt broke and you drove the car, It's a excellent possibility you saw power steering fluid dripping from your automobile. Andrea L. Algar is co-owner of a classic automobile performance and restoration design shop in Leesville, Texas. IMDB shows it coming out in 2016 but there hasn't been any news about it anywhere.
And the real catch is that even if the auto runs fine, we nonetheless have to get these mandatory repairs just to pass emissions, or we cannot drive the vehicle/renew the registration. No I did not have the air conditioner on. Then I looked below the automobile and noticed a drip coming from below the muffler. Getting observed their conventional organizations battered by forces that consist of structural modifications fuelled by the rapid growth of networked digital technologies and cyclical shifts in the economy, mainstream news publishers have intensified efforts to adapt their journalism processes and products.
It offers electricity needed for door locks, sliding windows, lights, and other car accessories. The sound of humming in a dream signifies news from a distance if it seemed to quit for no particular explanation, the news will be startling. Let me know what you determine, Just don't forget, you would have never ever purchased the car if you knew it had these issues, and that is what your argument is!!!! So what do I need to do to uncover out why the gauge is showing standard when the automobile is cold.
All you need to do is generate an account for each and every and link them to an Echo device by means of the Alexa app, but do not fret if those capabilities don't apply because there are plenty of other wonderful apps. It really is a safe bet that Céline Dion's water-park would not have produced such a splash on the day a tsunami struck or there was a tidal wave of earth-shaking news.

PIPETTES (Buy CDs by this artist)
We Are the Pipettes (UK Memphis Industries) 2006
Girl groups have always been more subversive than they appear, from the Phil Spector-produced efforts of the early '60s boosting African-American teens from housing projects into Top 40 radio to the double-agents in Bananarama bringing post-punk flavor to the masses while forcing new wavers to confront mainstream pop. Brighton, England's Pipettes, who are associates of the Go! Team, share that band's taste for using catchy pop to achieve mischievous ends, updating girl-group style for the era of PJ Harvey, Liz Phair and Sex and the City. They replace wistful longing with grrrrl-powered sexual aggressiveness. If the heroine in a Crystals song was waiting for her perfect boy to arrive, her Pipettes counterpart expects the lummox who is snoring next to her to be gone before breakfast. Becki, Gwenno and Rose, the polka-dot-clad girls up front, are the band's focal point, but there are seven Pipettes in all. But the four boys who play all the instruments (known collectively as the Cassette) maintain anonymity, partly as a comment on the men who historically pulled the strings of girl groups, but mostly as an acknowledgment that no one will care who they are.
We Are the Pipettes is a great debut, unapologetically retro in sound but current in sensibility. Songs like "Pull Shapes" and "It Hurts to See You Dance So Well" are irresistible girl group pop with some disco elements thrown in, although "Dirty Mind" echoes Maxine Nightingale's classic "Right Back Where We Started From" a little too closely. Sensitive boys seem to be the bane of the Pipettes' existence, as songs like "Why Did You Stay," "Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me" and "Sex" heap scorn on sweet guys clueless enough to expect love in return. "One Night Stand," with its sweetly sung chorus of "I don't want you / I don't need you," is especially harsh, although the finale, "I Love You," finds the Pipettes willing to lavish affection on someone they feel deserves it. We Are the Pipettes is about as much fun as an album can be 14 tracks of sparkling pop with a lot of bite in the lyrics.[Brad Reno]

This is the sequel to Magic Lamber: Power of Sewer, a massive nine level unit. Magic Lamber Forever, released five months after the original, also has nine great levels. And I certainly liked this one alot better.
Each level is quite unique in design, with massive structures such as the monolith Quake symbol and the lamber processor at the very end. The rooms can get colossal - my PIII 450, 128mb Ram, TNT2 computer handled them fine, but some of you on weaker computers may have trouble. Huge buttresses and pillars support each room which range from computer rooms, teleports, labs, sewers, dungeons or even palaces. One such level which I thought was particularly well done was a great palace with mirrors for floors. Of course Quake2 doesn't support mirrors and reflections, but Mark did an excellent and convincing job of making each room look like a reflection on the floor. Along with that were mystical sounds to create a very unique and atmospheric level.
The gameplay was good, with each level overflowing with enemies. There were times when it seemed there was an endless supply of enemies running around the corners. Particularly with soldiers, who would always attack in huge packs. There were times when the gameplay got extremely hard. Such as one situation where you take on six commanders with no cover. Unfortunetely, that is much too hard for an average player, and alot of you might need to cheat past this fight. Ammunition was only just enough. At times I felt a little uneasy as the ammo got quite low, but I was never forced to use the blaster. Over the last few levels it gets a little easier as you'll have plenty of rockets and grenades. But you'll probably want to save your cells and slugs up for the huge end fight. I won't ruin it, but it sure was a killer!
Of course, with grand level design and tough gameplay, you would think this must be a top release, but unfortunetely it does have one major flaw - puzzles! There were times when I had absolutely no idea where or what I was supposed to do next. Then there were times when I knew what I was supposed to be doing, but couldn't figure out how to do it. There was one time when I couldn't continue as I couldn't find the security pass. I ended up 'noclipping' and that wasn't the first time. There are pure action levels where gameplay is the focus, then there are levels which contain puzzles where you need to use your brain to figure out how to proceed. Magic Lamber Forever was neither. Objectives simply were not obvious enough.
Otherwise Magic Lamber Forever is a great set of levels. It looks like there may be another part in the series as the nightmare continues, so I definetely look forward to more.

How is it supposed to work exactly - when I get start this new job? Husband has been living a somewhat pampered existence (he would dispute this) with my routine as follows: (sorry in advance if this sends you to a slumber - it sent me on anti-depressants) 8:15 up with sproglet. Make him breakfast. Hang with him while he eats and try to wake up. Sproglet plays with toys, I make him two nutritious meals to take with him to child minder and pack his bag - usually involving stir fries, boiling noodles, potatoes, carrots, grilling chicken etc. Try being Jamie Oliver every day - it is exhausting! Dress him. Tidy his room. Put on wash. Put out wash. Put away dried washing. Shower. Sproglet does Nemo or Monsters Inc. Tidy house for prospective buyers/tenants (hiding every sign of us living here) - this takes forever. In our small flat all storage space is full to the MAX. Latest spot - hide all under sproglet's cot. Dress - try to be creative, give up and wear usual jeans, white vest top under black top ensemble. Dry hair, spot of make up to try and look human. By this stage it is normally noon. Husband - sleeps.
Take sproglet to childminder and script read, organise house move, food shop to make sure sproglet has milk, wipes, cereal, eggs etc. etc. etc. Forget gyming it - body combat and my waist have gone by the wayside in this hectic era. Go through solicitor's papers, call mortgage man, try and pick a bed etc. Those 6 hours go mighty quickly.
6pm get sproglet back (this is only on Tues/Wed/Thurs - other days I have sproglet all day). Play for an hour, visit the park. Bath him, dress him, bottle and story. 8pm make myself dinner. Collapse on sofa. Notice how sofa needs cleaning. Wash bedding, towels etc. Normally watch all TV dramas to find new writers and to know my soaps inside out in order to find work. Riveting day eh? Sorry - are you still there? Thank god, thought you had gone to open a vein.
How will I ever juggle a full time job, sproglet and looking after a house (plus the move??) It took me all afternoon yesterday to research child care in our new neck of the woods - and we have only two possible nurseries - one of which may be full!! My lists are endless. Husband - sleeps - oh and works. Kind of like a bar vampire.
How we will juggle our lives and careers and a small child in between - with me working days and him nights? Will we see each other? Will he ever see sproglet? I voice these worries and he shushes me. It will all work out he says. I want to kill him as what he means is - you will somehow cope with full time job (described by one BBC exec as 'the hardest two years of your life') and picking up sproglet and taking him to nursery, and the house move and being able to do the shop/housework etc. I will try. I want to keep up Samaritans too - yes, I will be s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d beyond belief. But hey - better to be busy than bored. But oh my god - how appealing does an afternoon of Danielle Steel trash movies and cupcakes feel now eh?
When I read that the non-entity singer/model/whatever-I-can-be-that-doesn't-require- any-training Lisa B has written a 'lifestyle book' I wanted to vomit on her. How dare someone who is married to a property tycoon multi-millionaire, replete with nannies and housekeepers and the like - try and tell ME how to have a perfect lifestyle!!! How to throw a well catered dinner party, have no cellulite and teach my kids yoga and find the ultimate truffle. I want to invite her round for a day at chez crummy mummy and then see what she advises. Why the vacuous rich idle away their days as yummy mummies telling us mere mortals how to live our lives - I have no idea. Will I buy this book? I would rather have a smear test every day for the rest of my life.The pictures of this book show Lisa in cashmere casual wear (think The White Company) in a yoga position, with fruit bowl in front of her, on a white daybed staring out at her lake. Yes, that's right - lake. Next to her mansion in the country. This woman isn't giving us advice on how to get through the day sans breakdown - she is smugly going 'look what I have. Unattainable - get me!' If she is a woman's woman I will eat my bra. In the photos there is not a puke stain, mushed tangerine or greasy hair in sight. It is all tranquility spa, fluffy and white. It is about as realistic as Jordan's breasts.
Vent over.
Ok - I am off to wake or murder husband. Not sure which.
Is it wrong to crave a martini at 11:15am?

What The Tech? Video Game Questions
The video game industry is a $23.5 billion business in the United States. Game consoles and game titles are at the top of millions of children and adult gift list this holiday but their parents have questions about them.
The video game industry is a $23.5 billion business in the United States. Game consoles and game titles are at the top of millions of children and adult gift list this holiday but their parents have questions about them. If you start looking online or in a store for games it can be quite confusing for parents and many of the games are not appropriate for young children.
One of the issues for parents is, they don't know enough about the games. A 9 year old may ask for a game they play at a friend's house that contains bad language, violence and blood. One of our viewers sent in an email asking about which games are best for their 10 year old son. Another viewer asked if they should get their son an X-Box or PlayStation. Now, I don't aim to answer those questions for different parents but I can suggest some questions they should ask before plunking down several hundred dollars on a system and $60 on a game.
X-Box One and PlayStation are the two consoles gamers want. These are both very similar in gameplay and cost about the same, $299 but are often found on sale during the holidays for $250. Games range in price from $20 up to $70 for the most popular titles.
Your kids probably will ask for a specific console because it is the one their friends are playing since many gamers like to play the games with a group of people online all competing in the same game.
A key difference in consoles are the games available. Both X-Box and PlayStation have games that only work on those systems so it's a good idea to ask which game they want to play. Otherwise, in terms of quality and game play the consoles are equally good (although fans will probably insist the one they play is the best.)
This holiday season the current 'must have' or 'most played' games are Call of Duty, Battlefield One, Final Fantasy XV and Gears of War. These games are rated appropriate for certain age groups. Shooter games such as Call of Duty and Battle One are rated M for mature while the Final Fantasy series is rated T for appropriate for teens.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board reviews every video game and determines a rating, similar to movie ratings. Parents who have questions about the content of specific videos are encouraged to visit the ERSB Ratings Board website for details, reviews and comments from other parents. Parents should also visit www.twitch.tv a website devoted to online gaming. On this website parents can view the games in action played by other gamers. One word of caution though, the website is NSFW because of language often used by the game players.

The morning made us choke ambiguously. Firstly, because we woke up at 2 kilometres height looking into blue-as-the-sky lake, and secondly, because at 5am we were raised not by an alarm clock, but by the freezing cold of the air. Of course, we couldn't call 7 degrees celsius freezing cold, but our arms and legs said an absolutely different thing. :) Never mind though, I had never even dreamed of such spectacular scenery. :)
There was another six-hour drive left to Monaco, crossing France, Italy and then again France and Italy lands. :) One stop for full breakfast, or maybe lunch, and then a journey to where it's hot. :) As I had planned, we hung the rain cloud somewhere between the mountains and so we were driving with smiles towards the shining sun. :)
We reached the luxurious Monaco in an early evening so we took time and made my old dream come true - we drove through the Formula-1 route. :) It was beautiful, warm and we only had one problem - where to stay, but we're going to leave it for the night and now - a nap at the beach. :) It's the halfway of this journey, thus I think no one would get mad for a few days rest. :)
Tomas: "The nature - it was all that I needed."
Simonas: "Not to rest would be a sin."
Dmirtij: "Make the dream your lifestyle."
Yours faithfully, Simonas [Saimis]

emergency travel knitting
When I travel somewhere, a key feature of my planning is working out what knitting to take. It's right up there with decanting my toiletries into little travel bottles and checking the local weather forecast. For me, planning what knitting to take is far more serious than what clothes to take.
For my latest trip to Australia, my usual routine was all out of sync (thank you, work-induced migraines), and I hadn't planned a thing. To make matters worse, it was to be my niece's third birthday during my visit, and I hadn't even had time to get her a pressie.
On the morning of my flight, I woke up and suddenly decided to knit my niece Sophie a polar bear. Of course, who wouldn't decide such a thing a few hours before travelling to the other side of the world?
I only had half a skein of suitable yarn, so I did a mad dash to my local department store. My heart sank when the yarn was no longer on display, but I found a small stash on clearance. Hurrah for finding the yarn at a discount! But boo for it being discontinued by the store.
Anyway, it was a night flight, so I mostly snoozed on the plane and didn't start knitting until the day I arrived in Australia. It was a bit of a frantic push to get it finished in time. I had to catch a 14 hour bus ride to visit my niece (ooh, love those Australian distances!) and I used that time to finish off the knitting. It all went pretty smoothly. The only difficulty was trying to do the embroidery for Otto's face.
I mean, what do I know about embroidery? Nothing. I had to do some research to find out what french knots and satin stitch are, and my results weren't brilliant. I think my main difficulty arose from working the embroidery on a knitted, rather than woven, fabric. One of the eyes worked really well, but for some reason I just couldn't get the second eye to attach properly! And poor Otto's nose was overstitched about a zillion times, because I couldn't figure out how to get a nice smooth edge when working with the v-shape of knitted stitches.
Luckily the end result was very cute, and no-one would ever know the difference:
Pattern: Otto by Ysolda
Yarn: Sublime Extra Fine Merino DK, less than 2 skeins. Incredibly soft yarn, and perfect for snuggling.
I made very few changes to the pattern actually. Like lots of other knitters, I found that the snout as written came out too long, so I ripped back and worked the increases every round, to get a shorter, snoutier snout. I wasn't overly thrilled with the design of the leg gusset, and I was left with a few gaps to sew up. I'd use a more traditional method for the legs if I re-did the pattern.
I finished off with a garter stitch scarf made from some leftover alpaca/silk. I added a little buttonhole and spent ages buying just the right button for it. I got to my SIL's place, asked to borrow a sewing needle, to be told that she doesn't own one. Can you believe it? Yep, if something is torn or loses a button, she throws it out! Clearly, we're only related by marriage…
I solved the scarf problem by folding over one end to make a little loop to hold the scarf closed. I mean, a polar bear surely doesn't want to get a cold neck in a gust of wind?
Although Sophie really wasn't all that fussed about the bear, she is clearly well-practised at being photographed, and she posed perfectly for me:
I was the only gift-giver who stayed away from things stereotypically pink and sparkly, so I'm quite happy to be the quirky aunt who gives home-made stuff. Hopefully she'll appreciate it one day.
a real FO
You got a bit of a sneak peek in my last post, but here are all the details: let me present to you the re-knitted Cherry Red! Jen kindly took some photos for me, but by the time we'd eaten and shopped, it was nearly dark. Priorities, eh?
Pattern: Rose Red by Ysolda Teague. (Ravelry link here).
Yarn: Sundara Sport Merino in Crushed Cherries. I used less than a skein: 84g to be precise.
Finished: Second time around, finished December 27th, 2010. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite count as a FO for 2011.
Modifications: I re-worked this in the medium size, but with smaller gauge and on smaller needles (3.25mm). That gave me the slouch factor that I was after but I was worried about it not staying on my head, and ending up somewhere around my chin. I decreased heavily at the band to give a tighter fit. This was fine, but maybe a tiny bit tight. Frogged back again, and re-knit as written. Third time lucky – perfect.
Comments: I mentioned previously how much I love this pattern, and that still holds true. It's a perfect pattern, perfectly realised. I'm still not sure about the prospect of me actually wearing a hat, but I'll give it a go for my art! I didn't worry about blocking this version, but simply washed it and allowed it to dry flat. I decided I'd rather keep the texture than go all out for slouch.
I'll have to say again how much I absolutely love this yarn. It's got just the right combination of softness coupled with strength. The yarn held up well to the three rounds frogging, and I don't get the sense that it will pill, which is quite a feat for a merino. Even more amazing is that it's sturdy without being itchy. Incredible.
And the best bit about this yarn? I still have enough to make a whole cardigan.
I had assumed that I wouldn't be able to enter Fridica's competition, as I was sure that I didn't have any non-staged photos of my handknits. It's enough of a challenge to get any photos at all, let alone anything more spontaneous.
I just downloaded the photos from an afternoon's adventure a couple of weeks ago at the fabulous Somerset House outdoor skating rink (sadly now closed for the season). I had a great time, with one amazing fall that included bringing a friend tumbling over with me. It's such a beautiful setting to be wobbling about on the ice in the middle of London, and I think the rink is becoming a bit of an annual favourite in London.
I had asked a friend to take a photo of my efforts at skating, but the timing was all wrong and we ended up with pictures of complete strangers. I was therefore very surprised to discover this photo:
It's me! Skating! And wearing my (re-knitted) Rose Red hat!
sort of FO
I finished my hat, but it's too small. Maybe. Well, sort of. It fits me fine in the sense that it fits my head, but it's too small in the sense that there's not quite enough slouch. I've blocked it on a dinner plate…
but it's still not quite right. Close, but not quite. I've been walking around the house with it on my head, peering in to mirrors at different angles, yarn ball in hand because I haven't been confident enough to actually cast off and cut the yarn. It's hard to tell really if the problem is the hat or my head, because I really look rubbish in hats. I may be placing the blame where it doesn't belong.
Nonetheless, it's such a brilliant pattern and I'm in love with this yarn, so I think I'll frog it and try again. It deserves a second chance.
knitting lesson #426
… That would be knitting lesson number 426 of a seemingly unending series. No matter how long I've been knitting, I have a habit of making really stupid mistakes.
The latest lesson: When making two of something (such as sleeves, socks, mittens), be sure to measure each one.
Here's what happens when you fail to do so:
These were my Cranford mitts, which I finished up last weekend. Such a simple knit, and very gratifying. I was reminded however, that even if the pattern is simple, you still need to check your work.
Turns out that I'd omitted a pattern repeat on the second mitt (or rather I'd miscounted, as I knew that I'd made the first one longer than stipulated), and didn't realise until after I had cast off. In the photo above, the left mitt is blocked; the right mitt was straight off the needles.
I decided not to rip back, as I'd had a nightmare time with the yarn. There was a knot half way through the skein, and the yarn after the knot was so poorly spun that I had to bin some of it. Even without the flaw, the yarn didn't seem to be tightly spun enough to be called a sock yarn, and my mitts are already looking a bit rough after the first few wears.
Nonetheless, they've been getting lots of use over the past week in this freezing weather, and are very useful when staring at a computer all day. I've minimised the error by wearing the longer one on my left hand so that it goes over my watchband; no-one will ever know they don't match! I'll still have to make another pair in better yarn though.
why oh why
I have to often ask myself why I decide to act on such silly impulses. I never learn.
A few weeks ago my friend Pauline had a hen's weekend, and her wedding is in two weeks' time. For some reason I decided to knit her a wedding garter. Fair enough, but I decided this only a few days before the hen's do. Given the short timescale, there was no time to go shopping for the requirements so I ordered online. What did the pattern call for? Size 40 crochet cotton. I had no idea what this was, until it arrived in the post; I would have thought twice if I'd seen it first! The smallest needles I had were 2mm, so that's what I used, as there was no time to be fussy.
Lesson 1: Don't knit with size 40 crochet cotton.
Lesson 2: Mercerised cotton is not my friend.
Initially my plan was to have it finished by the hen's weekend, but I only got half way through. I mean, did I really think that I could finish this in a few days?? I've vaguely worked on it since then, but without the push of the deadline, I dragged my heels. The knitting was done some time ago, but the finishing up was a nightmare. Somehow I wasted the whole of yesterday afternoon faffing around trying to figure out the best way to attach the ribbons and elastic. It should really be simple!
Just when I thought I'd finished, I discovered that the ribbons had frayed themselves in to oblivion. I went and bought more ribbon to start again (a different shade of blue, as the shop was sold out of the previous one), this time securely fixing the ends with clear nail polish. Re-blocked the lace again last night, took a quick snap this morning, and it's off in the post at last.
Pattern: Knitted Lace Wedding Garter by Diane Willett
Yarn: DMC Size 40 crochet cotton.
Needles: 2.0 mm, but 1.75 mm would have given a denser fabric.
Finished: 23rd August 2010
Modifications: I threaded transparent elastic through the eyelets behind the ribbon, rather than sewing on bias binding. I don't think this actually gave a great result.
Not entirely thrilled with the finished garter, and I'm fairly certain that it won't actually get worn (even the colour scheme of the wedding is top secret). However, Pauline is the sort of wonderful friend who I'm sure will appreciate the thought, and will say all the right things.
I certainly wouldn't go through that drama again for just anyone!

Cambrian: Slice of Life
Senior travels & travails
The slick ads show sleek, slender, sexy senior citizens with golf clubs and tennis racquets in hand, heading for the vacations of their dreams.
What those ads don't show is the troop of stagehands working behind the scenes to haul around the tons of luggage many seniors must tote along on their travels.
Face it — all that stuff our aging bods require every day, just to maintain, takes up space. Lots of it.
When the bellhop's eyes glaze over as he rolls his cart into our hotel room, and then yells to his associate, "Hey Rick. Get a load of this! And while you're at it, bring another cart" … well, that's usually when I vow to become a mum nun and never go anywhere, ever again.
It wasn't always this way, I grouse glumly under my breath. I can remember when I could go on vacation on the spur of the moment, when the most complex part of traveling was making sure I had enough gas to get where I was going and enough money to get back home again.
Saying to myself, "Self, I feel like going to Vegas (Catalina, Colorado, Jamaica) this weekend" was about as complicated as it got.
Back then, my luggage was little more than a duffel stuffed with a swimsuit, a toothbrush and a change of clothes or two.
Everything mixed, matched and (during my life's rare 10-minute thin periods) was both flattering and trendy. I could sling everything I needed over one shoulder and still have the strength to take it somewhere.
(I'm sure I'm gilding the nostalgia lily a bit, but then, we tend to do that when we get old and cranky).
Then I got married.
At first, traveling was still pretty simple. So, maybe vacationing required two duffels instead of one, and we often added a camera case or other specialty baggage. No big deal. We each had two hands.
Then we had a baby, and everything changed. In spades. Especially when we took the quantum jump from one child to two. Then it felt as if we were trying to transport a rowdy troupe of hungry rhesus monkeys in an ancient, brakeless VW van with square tires.
Most of the time, we got nowhere very rapidly.
But there was hope, we reassured ourselves. "Once the kids grow up and leave home, vacationing will get back to normal again," we mumbled like a mantra. "We can travel light again then."
Think again, chum.
If we thought it took a lot of dreck to move children from Point A to Point B, let alone any sub-points along the way, we didn't have a clue what the aching elderly would require on vacation.
To wit, some seniors we know (who shall remain nameless) carry with them:
• A bedpad to make concrete-like hotel beds a little more forgiving, and special pillows;
• A small HEPA air filter to combat asthma/allergy problems;
• Holders in which to safely overnight the bionic pieces they remove every night … glasses or contact lenses, partial plates, hearing aids, back belts, ankle braces, orthopedic shoe supports … all that fun stuff;
• That certain shampoo, a particular lotion. Cream to soften dry hands, soothe itchy skin, camouflage the bags under their eyes and to moisturize their nasal and other passages;
• A magnifying mirror in which to spot (with aging eyes) the forest of prickly hairs that pop up like errant political lawn signs in inappropriate locations, hairs that alert observers that "this body is getting SOOOOOO oooooooooold."
• Clothes for changes in weather. Different attire for cool nights, rainy days, hot afternoons or if it snows (in San Francisco in June? Well, maybe).
• Changes of shoes to accommodate whichever leg or back parts were kvetching on the mornings after the nights before (which, in seniorland, means the day after you walked way too far);
• And all those prescriptions. Pills to make you sleep and pills to wake you up. Medicines for your lumbago, allergies, heart and other innards … and to provide the next payment on the drug manufacturer's corporate limo.
Of course, by the time we pack all that into the suitcases, we're much too tired to put it in the car and go anywhere. Ooops. Minivan. Because the idea of trying to shove all that gear into an MG or an Accord is fodder for an "I Love Lucy" segment.
Mercy. We are getting old, aren't we? But it certainly beats the alternative.
Now all I need to do is find out where to hire those stagehands.
NOTE: This column ran first in The Cambrian on Aug. 12, 1999.

Scene: Parallel Leela's Bedroom: It is morning. Both Fry and Parallel Leela sleep peacefully with there arms around each other. There is a loud thug from down stairs, Leela wakes up and screams.
Parallel Leela: (screaming) 'Ahhhhhh! [She pushes him away from her.] How can you be alive? Last night was only dream! And why am I butt butt naked? Answer me!
[She stands up and kicks him off the bed on to floor. ]
Fry: 'Ow!
[Parallel Leela places her foot on his neck.]
Parallel Leela: (screaming) 'Answer me!
Fry: (crying) 'Please don't hurt me! I didn't take advantage of you last night!
Parallel Leela: 'I never said you ,but--
Fry: (crying) 'I don't know what's going! Just please don't hurt me. I'll leave! You wont have to see me ever again.
[Fry cries on the ground like a baby.]
Parallel Leela: (very very softy) 'Oh, Fry. [She helps him up on to the bed and takes him into a tight hug, also nuzzling his neck gently.] I am so sorry. Can you ever forgive me?
Fry: (crying) 'I....I......yeah, I guess so.
Parallel Leela: (very very softy) 'I'm so sorry the way I acted there. It's just, I haven't seen you in 4 years, and somehow with with no logical explanation you've come back to me.
Fry: (crying) 'What?.....What are you talking about?
Parallel Leela: (sniffling) 'You died Fry. (crying) You died.
Fry: (thinking) I did die? None of this makes any sense. (speaking) Should we get dressed?
[There is loud knocking on the door.]
Parallel Leela: (thinking) 'Someone knocking on my door this early in the morning? [She stands up.] Stay here baby. I'll answer it.
[She takes a light blue dressing gown off the door's hanger, and slips it on herself as she walks into the lounge.]
Cut to: Parallel Leela's Lounge. There is someone pounding on the door.
Parallel Leela: (thinking) 'Oh God! (shouting/fearfully) Fry, come quick!
[Fry runs into the room to with his fists up to in front of Parallel Leela.]
Fry: 'What is it?
[An enrage Leela kicks the door down.]
Leela: 'You bi**h! [She walks up to Parallel Leela.] How dare you have snu-snu with my Fry! Get you're own!
Fry: 'I didn't have snu-snu with Leela, I mean her. Oh I don't know what's going!
Leela: 'Fry, move outta the way!
Fry: 'No, you're gonna hurt her aren't you!
Leela: 'Hurt her? Kill her! Now get outta the way!
Fry: 'No!
Leela: 'Fry, I don't wanna hurt you. But if you don't--
Parallel Leela: 'Oh, it all makes sense now! How could you cheat on your own universe's girlfriend Fry?
Fry: 'Y'know this gets better and better. By the way tell my Leela, I didn't have snu-snu with you.
Parallel Leela: 'Leela, I didn't have snu-snu with your Fry.
Leela: 'Lier! [She pushes Fry out of the way knocking him to the floor.] You're dead!
[Leela attempts to punch Parallel Leela in the face, which she blocks. For the next few seconds, the two women punch and kick at one another blocking each and ever attack they make.]
Fry: (thinking) 'Man if Bender was here heed yell "catfight"! Wait! I gotta stop this....they could hurt each other! [He stand up.] (shouting) Stop!
[Fry runs between the two as they both throw a punch and a kick at the same time, with both hitting Fry, giving him a bloody jaw with the two punches; and two hard kicks in the chest, knocking him to the floor.]
Leela and Parallel Leela: (screaming) 'Fry!
[Both women lean down over Fry, sob, and look at one another in shock of what they've done.]
Parallel Leela: (crying) 'Oh, is....is he...is he okay?
Leela: (crying) 'Fry, speak to me. [She shakes him.] Say something! [Fry moans in pain.] Fry, try say something better!
Fry: (quickly) 'Owwww.
Leela: 'Few! Now you, did you have snu-snu with my Fry?
Parallel Leela: 'No I didn't. I haven't had snu-snu in 4 years.
Leela: 'With Fry?
Parallel Leela: 'Well with my Fry. Because he's dead. And I don't believe in n*********a.
Leela: 'Right, neither do I. Very few do. Now let's get off that subject.
[Bender enters, both Leelas moan sexually as they lock lips and kiss deeply in à la Leela and Amy in Bender's Game.]
Bender: 'Aww, yeah!
Leela's Voice: 'Bender!
Back to Reality.
Bender: 'Oh what? Were you two just making out?
Leela: 'No.
Parallel Leela: 'What gave you that idea?
Bender: [sad] 'I don't know.
[He leaves.]
Leela: 'Well, I guess I should be taking Fry back home with me to my universe.
Parallel Leela: 'No! I mean please stay here awhile. Besides he's not in the best of conditions to be going anywhere.
Leela: 'Yeah, I'm afraid you're right. Well, let's put him on the couch.
Cut to: Corridor. Bender walks down the stairs meeting up with the others (Farnsworth is missing though), who walk up the stairs.
Bender: 'They sorted it out! Leave em be! Let's all go back to my alternate self's home.
[Everyone nods and hums agreeably.]
Cut to: Parallel Leela's Lounge. Fry; who has bruises on face and chest, lies on the couch with his head resting on Leela's lap, who holds a of bag ice to his jar.
Leela: (very very softly) 'Shh, there there, Fry, it's okay. [Parallel Leela exits her bedroom wearing her usual clothes and holding Fry's clothes.] Hey?
Parallel Leela: 'Hey. [She hands Fry's clothes, then sits down on a armchair across from them.] How's he doing?
Leela: 'He's recovering. [She takes his underpants off, and replaces them with a clean pair.] (thinking) You need a shower when we get back. (speaking) Oh, sorry for coming to conclusions and being jealous.
Parallel Leela: (thinking) 'Better not tell her the other stuff we did (speaking) It's okay.
Leela: 'Um, do you mind me asking how did you and F?
Parallel Leela: 'How did me and Fry get together? Not at all. You see--
Flashback: Fry and Leela are on the Planet Express Balcony; in à la ending"Love and Rocket". Fry dares to place his hand on Leela's hand, she smiles, and they simply stay like that for quite sometime.
Leela: 'Thank you. You were really brave endangering you're own life to give me your oxygen.
[Fry with his other hand scratches the back of his neck.]
Fry: (nervously) 'Ahh, it was nothing.
Leela: [her eye narrowing] 'Why would you say that for? [She stares at Fry awaiting for his reply.] Well?
[Fry turns very red in the face.]
Fry: (nervously) 'I..ah..um...ah...um...I don't know...um..em...uh--
Leela: 'Fry, you're sweating!
Fry: (nervously) 'You....want...me...to take my ha--
Leela: 'No! [She takes a deep breath.] (very very softy) 'Just relax, Fry.
[She leans her head on Fry's shoulder.]
Fry: (thinking) 'This is it! Come on, get one of them things, a headache with pictures say something romantic. But don't every time I say something romantic, I end up saying the wrong thing? Well, I'll be more of loser, if I don't try at least.
Leela: (very very softy) 'Are you Ok, Fry?
Fry: 'Yeah, Leela, can I say something?
Leela: (very very softy) 'Sure, you just said something to me right now.
Fry: 'Look Leela, I probably never be the man you deserve, but please give me a chance. I'll try and change! I'll be less immature. Just please give me a chance! Will you?
Leela: (very very softy) 'You will try?
Fry: (nervously) 'Yes. And I, I ,I--
Leela: (very very softy) 'Yes, Fry?
Fry: 'I love you, Leela!
[Fry looks away, while Leela takes both of his hand into hers.]
Leela: (very very softy) 'Fry look at me. [Fry turns his head to face her some tears have formed in his eyes.] Say it again, [moves her hand closer] for me Fry.
Fry: (quietly) 'I love you, Leela.
Leela: (very very softy) 'I love you too, Fry.
[Fry dares to put his arms around Leela's waist, she does not reject, in-fact she does the same and also gives him a gently squeeze. Leela stares into Fry's eyes for a minute and Fry does the same, their lips meet in a light tender kiss at first and then more passionately.]
[Present day. Fry is almost fully dressed.]
Leela: (crying) 'You know [She takes off Fry's jacket, and puts it back on him.] something very similar between me and Fry might just of happened like that, if it wasn't for Zoidberg.
Parallel Leela: 'I know, but at least you have him. I don't.
Voice: 'Perhaps I can help?
[Both women turn to see Farnsworth leaning in the doorway.]
Leela: 'Professor? What are you doing here?
Farnsworth: [ignoring her] 'I have away of bringing Fry back.
Parallel Leela: 'You do really?
Farnsworth: 'Yes, by using my invention "The Life Giver Ray".
[He takes out something from his lab-coat that looks like a hair-dryer with hundreds of flashing lights.]
Leela: 'Oh really? How does it work then?
Farnsworth: 'It works by genetically reconstructing the DNA of the targeted body before death came to it, giving it all back as follows; it's brain cells, attitudes,qualities, in less scientific words; it's soul, memories; and even the memories they had before they died.
Parallel Leela: 'Oh this is unbelievable! We must go now to Fry's coffin, and bring him back.
Leela: 'Why couldn't you just clone him? If I lost Fry I would of done that.
Parallel Leela: 'He wouldn't be the same, plus cloning science hasn't gone that far in are universe. Apart from Hubert J. Farnsworth that is, who knows how to make perfect clones.
Leela: 'Then why not--
Parallel Leela: 'Because he's abandoned science for "business", owning: Dad's Friendly Robot Company Factory. And his son Igner is good, but ain't as good as he was.
Farnsworth: 'Yes, my son, how come he's so smart?
Parallel Leela: 'Because you're alternate self while still having interest in science at the time, gave him stuff to give more brain cells. Now, let's go already!
Leela: (very very softy) 'Fry, are you ready?
Fry: (quietly) 'Yeah, I guess so.
[Leela helps him up; places his arm on her shoulder for support helping him long like a wounded soldier as she joins the others, who walk out the door.]
Leela: (very very softy) 'There there, Fry. One easy step at a time.
To be continued

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue on Dec. 21, detailed which functions of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will remain available in the event of a lapse in government funding.
"There may be a lapse in funding for the federal government, but that will not relieve USDA of its responsibilities for safeguarding life and property through the critical services we provide," said Secretary Perdue. "Our employees work hard every day to benefit our customers and the farmers, ranchers, foresters, and producers who depend on our programs. During a shutdown, we will leverage our existing resources as best we can to continue to provide the top-notch service people expect."
Some of the programs that will continue:
Meat, poultry, and processed egg inspection services.
Grain and other commodity inspection, weighing, grading, and IT support services funded by user fees.
Inspections for import and export activities to prevent the introduction and dissemination of pests into and out of the U.S, including inspections from Hawaii and Puerto Rico to the mainland.
Care for animals, plants and associated infrastructure to preserve agricultural research and to comply with the Wild Horses and Burros statute.
Eligible households will still receive monthly Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for January.
The Child Nutrition (CN) Programs, including School Lunch, School Breakfast, Child and Adult Care Feeding, Summer Food Service and Special Milk will continue operations into February. Meal providers are paid on a reimbursement basis 30 days after the end of the service month. Carryover funding will be available during a lapse to support FY 2019 meal service.
Provision of conservation technical and financial assistance (such as Conservation Reserve Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program, and easement programs). Some farm payments (including direct payments, market assistance loans, market facilitation payments, and disaster assistance programs) will be continued for the first week of a shutdown.

For the most part, I respect critics, and I find especially useful those who write about the historical context of a given work, or those who examine the techniques used in a given story. But I have no use for critics who set up a canon of "essential" writers, because I've often learned more about writing from people on the margins of a field than from any central figures.
And so, for example, I've learned more from individual stories by Shamus Frazer, Edward Lucas White, Charles G. D. Roberts, Bernard Capes, and Ralph Adams Cram, than I ever did from Lovecraft, Ligotti, Barker, King, or from any number of writers who are often considered important in the field of horror. I believe that we take away those details of craftsmanship we need to create our own stories in our own styles, and that the best way to find solutions to our creative challenges is to read widely. I also put my trust in random discoveries, in the joy of picking up a magazine, collection, or anthology, and of digging up treasure that might appeal to no one else, but might also show me what I need to do.
I leave canons to composers; they know how to use them. But I read for pleasure, and to learn.

If you're stuck for content ideas and need to get more engagement a way to do it is to start some form of controversy. But, this can also backfire. Before you get down to writing your first controversial post give it a lot of thought and consideration.
Avoid Politics
Unless your niche is politics don't do it. Now, it's one thing to stand up against bullying, homophobia, racism and those types of things. In fact, I personally hope you would do that automatically and not worry about the repercussions. I do, and my audience appreciates it and loves me. But, try to avoid starting a political verbal war online. It can really cause problems for you and your business and you may turn off half your audience.
Avoid Religion
People have a right to their personal religious choice. Stay out of this type of controversy. It's perfectly fine in the right circumstances to state your own beliefs if you feel comfortable, but don't judge others for theirs. Unless again, if your business is religion, for example, you're a minister, then that's fine. Do what you want to do because that's your job. So, I'm not talking to you here. But if you sell websites or courses about marketing, don't fight with people about religion online.
Make it Relevant
A good way to create a controversial post is to attack a popular theory or trend within your niche that you have proof is wrong through your studies. Often, this can happen because of changing technology. For example, some people have the idea that you don't need an email list anymore or even a website because they have a Facebook Page or a LinkedIn profile. This is absolutely horrible advice and I always tell people when I see it. You need your own website and email list or else you own nothing.
Get Personal
Sometimes it can be controversial to get very personal about something. This is true if you've mostly been all business. If something is going on in your life that is affecting your business in a big way — all the big things, marriage, birth, death, retirement, and so forth — can be a source of interest to your fans and audience. But, you want to make sure you can relate it to your business in some way without using your family in a bad way.
Incite Positive Controversy
If you are not wanting to do anything negative, then you can instead use positive controversy. Call out someone in your industry or circle who has done something wonderful within your niche. Talk about them, spell out what they've done, brag on them and make them feel good. People will share it, and you can get known by some extra people.
Controversy is a great way to get engagement. But, it can be dangerous too. Before you publish anything controversial give it some serious thought. Go ahead and create the content but sit on it for a while. Think about it so that you don't move too fast. The wrong thing can destroy your business. Ask the Amy's Baking Company.

If you're looking for a Sage alternative, this might help...
16 May 2017 10: 33 AM By Intact Software In Sage Alternative 1
Firstly, slow down and consider your options.
Too often in our business, we meet potential customers who make rushed decisions on their business software. Such an important decision is fundamental to the future success and growth of your business so it is unfair and unwise to put rigid timescales on the decision process.
I've taken many a call from a frustrated business owner looking to throw their current systems out in favour of the first system they can find. A call I took from a business owner using Sage 500 ERP for almost 9 years was just such an instance. They were told by their Sage Partner that they had to upgrade immediately as their Sage 500 was no longer being supported.
Faced with an expensive and disruptive upgrade, the caller sought an alternative to Sage. He asked me to quote him a price for our solution and by the end of our call had placed an order for Intact Software!
Utter madness. And before you ask, no, I didn't instantly send him a sales order acknowledgement just to get the order in. Instead, I sent him off to consider all the alternatives before making his final decision. Of course, I did ask that Intact Software was considered as a possible solution!
Given that many businesses who install Intact Software convert from Sage products, I feel I am in a position to offer some advice to companies faced with a similar decision.
So, if you are using any Sage products and they are not meeting your business or reporting requirements or you are being forced to upgrade as your system is no longer supported, slow down and consider your alternatives.
Remember, a wise decision now could be the making of your business long into the future
It is also important to keep in mind that you do not have to invest significantly in a system only to be left doing the same thing or experiencing the same problems – use this as an opportunity to set up your business for the future.
Dream a little.
Update: Please note, since the time of writing (September 2013), Sage since announced Sage 500 would continue to be supported with a review date for 2017.

Heads up to those who are interested in being in Peace Corps, you're going to have to learn a new language. No, not Spanish, Tagolog, Cantonese, or Swahili; it's the language of Peace Corps. They don't use special glotal stops or subject-verb agreements, but instead it's a bewildering game of acronyms.
I mean can you make sense of these sentences:
You begin with staging, that's easy, but then you fly to your HC, meet your CD, PTO, and PCVs who will begin your IO. You get checked by the PCMO, meet your LCF, TCF, RM, SM, and find our where you will be for PST. You work, work, work for swear-in, take the oath and rush to your site to be with your HF, HCA, and CP. Inbetween trainings and PDO you will attend in IST, MST, and language camp (where you will take your LPI). But really, the whole time as a PCV you're working towards COS, when you can fill out your DOS and finally, finally, finally you become a RPCV.
I know, I know, it looks like jumbled alphabet soup, but it really does make sense Here's a translation:
You begin with staging, that's easy, but then you fly to your Host Country, meet your Country Director, Program Training Officer, and Peace Corps Volunteers who will begin your Initial Orientation. You get checked by the Peace Corps Medical Officer, meet your Language Cultural Facilitator, Technical Cultural Facilitator, Regional Manager, Sector Manager, and find out where you will be for Pre Service Training. You work, work, work for swear-in, take the oath, and rush to your site to be with your Host Family, Host Country Agency, and Counter Part. Inbetween trainings and Professional Development Opportunities you will attend In Service Training, Mid Service Training, and language camp (where you take your Language Proficiency Interview). But really, the whole time as a Peace Corp Volunteer you're working towards Close Of Service, when you can fill out your Description Of Service and finally, finally, finally you become a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer.
Right now, I'm at COS conference... yep, scratch another acronym off the list!!! :)
