According to a recent, rigorously semi-scientific study conducted by a London hotel, the Eiffel Tower is the world's top tourist attraction . . . on Instagram. More than 975,000 pictures have been uploaded to the photo-sharing site using the tower's name as a hashtag. (Times Square and London's Big Ben were a rather distant second and third.) All of which is strikingly relevant in light of the fact that, to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower's opening in 1889, LIFE.com asked Instagram users to submit their own favorite personal photos of the tower, via #EiffelTowerLIFE.
After sorting through, and thoroughly enjoying, hundreds of pictures submitted by Instagram users all over the globe, LIFE.com presents the photo that, to our eyes, best captures the spirit of the Eiffel Tower and the grand, graceful monument's indefinable place in the Parisian landscape — as well as a few excellent Honorable Mentions.
THE WINNER (See gallery above)
Luís Barreira, a teacher and visual artist in Lisbon, Portugal
Many of the #EiffelTowerLIFE photos were lovely. Many of them felt romantic. Many of them were clearly taken by people who adore both Paris and the city's most powerful emblem. But Luís Barreira's picture of a skateboarder in mid-flight — with the Eiffel Tower beautiful and ghost-like in the background — celebrates the famous landmark in a way that feels utterly contemporary. It's a wonderful photograph, filled with energy and perfectly poised — with the skateboarder's arms outspread, like wings, and every element drawing the eye up, up, to the distant tip of the great tower itself. Simply put, it's the picture we liked best.

HONORABLE MENTIONS (See gallery above)
Pascaline Jay, a native of Montpelier, France, who now lives and teaches in Oslo, Norway
One of the very few photographs submitted, and by far the best, that provides a sense of what it's like to really experience the Eiffel Tower, rather than merely gaze upon it.

Claire Guigal, an art director and graphic designer in Paris
Countless photographs have been made of the Eiffel Tower in dreary weather, and no wonder: something about glimpsing the great, familiar structure through mist, snow or fog adds to its air of romance. This dreamlike picture does that, as well, while also harking back to the very earliest portraits of the Tower — especially those taken when it was being built so many years ago.
Follow Claire on Instagram @ claireguigal
Martin Kodera, an airline flight dispatcher in Prague, Czech Republic
This is one of those photos that makes you smile, because it's so unexpected. Then you find that you're still looking at it, finding new details in it, long after a merely amusing photo would have grown stale. Structurally, it's as simple as it is strong, while bringing a wholly fresh perspective to one of the globe's most familiar landmarks.
Follow Martin on Instagram @ dj_cody
Congratulations to Luis, Pascaline, Claire and Martin. And to the hundreds of Instagram users everywhere who submitted pictures — our very sincere thanks for taking part, and for sharing your photos.

In the age of rail, luxury hotels mimicked European palaces. When rich people arrived at their destination, they wanted to be treated like nobility.
Then in the age of the jet, a new sort of hotel emerged, sleek Hiltons and Sheratons. These hotels offered the comfort of familiarity. You could go around the world and the hotels were largely the same. They were efficient and bland, offering quality service and ease of movement. A business traveler could stay in one of these hotels for days and barely notice anything about the place.
The computer age has brought yet another new kind of hotel: the mass boutique.
Boutique hotels started in the early 1980s in London, with Blakes, and in San Francisco, with the Bedford. These hotels had entirely different goals than the big hotels at the time. Instead of offering familiarity, they offered difference. Instead of offering beige, they offered edginess, art, emotion and a dollop of pretension.
The first boutique hotels were founded by entrepreneurs who seemed more like rock producers or psych professors than corporate executives. Chip Conley founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality in the Bay Area when he was 26. He designed his hotel Phoenix around the personality of Rolling Stone magazine. He later organized his business strategy around Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
At the bottom of the pyramid, Conley's hotels offer a comfortable bed, but at the top of the pyramid, Conley says that his hotels offer "identity refreshment" and "mass therapy." As he writes in his book "Peak," "If we get it right at our boutique hotels, we don't just satisfy our guests' physiological, safety, social and esteem needs: We bring them an awareness of self-actualization."
Boutiques cater to the sort of affluent consumer who is produced by the information economy, which rewards education with money. This is a consumer who is prouder of his cultural discernment than his corporate success; who feels interested in, rather than intimidated by, a hotel room stuffed with cultural signifiers — cerulean sofas or Steichen photos. Boutique hotels hold up a flattering mirror. When guests arrive, they are supposed to feel like they are entering an edgy community of unconventional, discerning people like themselves.
In an age when Hotels.com and Travelocity turn hotel rooms into commodities, these are customers who are willing to pay extra, sometimes a lot extra, for a hotel with sensibility. The boutique Soho Grand in New York is currently offering rooms at $339 a night. The Hilton Garden Inn, a very adequate hotel a couple of blocks away, is charging $139.
Painfully hip boutique hotels used to seem like a fad, but they've spread and spread. Over the past few years, they have gone mass. Starwood has planted large, boutiquey W hotels on five continents. Hyatt has Andaz. And as Brooks Barnes reported in The Times's most recent Sunday Business section, Marriott is creating a chain of mass boutiques, called Edition. When Marriott enters the boutique business, everybody has entered the boutique business.
It seems as if there is an endless supply of middle-class consumers who have boutique identities and aspirations, especially among people in their 20s. Consumers now use hotels differently. They bring their laptops down to the lobby rather than working in their rooms. Fewer people bother to unpack their bags. Therefore, room desks and closets are less important, but having a happening lobby scene is more important. People need a civic space where they can have their contiguous but individualized iPad experiences.
Boutique hotels are, on one level, kind of ridiculous. They are almost invariably too dark throughout, making it hard to read. The bed is often too low. The bathroom door is sometimes a flimsy sliding shutter, sacrificing privacy for style.
But they do exemplify a shift in the consumer market, which you might call the shift from the lima bean economy to the edamame economy. It's easy to forget how much more boring the marketplace was a few decades ago — more boring cuisine, more boring restaurants, more boring hotels. Recently, there's been a creative brand explosion, to go along with nichification and segmentation. Companies are much more interested in creating emotional arousal. Hotels, sneakers, iced tea and even ice cream is now marketed to people on the basis of psychographic profiles and the result is a profusion of unusual products and distinctive experiences. Consumers have been educated by the market and now the median level of cultural competence is much higher.
A basic rule of happiness is don't buy things; buy experiences. The market has taken one commodity product after another and turned it into an emotional experience — even hotel stays. I don't know how you measure how much better off we are because of that, but we are significantly better off. The world's a sweeter place when, for an extra 200 bucks a night, you can lodge like Afrojack.

Jessica Alba smolders in two bustiers in NYC — Which do you like best?
It's the battle of the bustiers! Jessica Alba donned two different sexy satin bustier looks for appearances in NYC on August 13 as she promoted her new film, 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill'. Which hot look is your favorite? Jessica Alba has been looking amazing during her most recent promotional tour! The 33-year-old actress appeared on BET's 106 & Park in a chic, feminine look and then flaunted a sexier look for 'Watch What Happens Live' later in the evening. Get the details on Jessica's looks here!
Jessica arrived at the BET studios in a look perfect for late summer or early fall, and it was definitely in contrast to her sweet Antonio Berardi look. This time, she wore a black satin bustier with a The Kooples blazer over a high-waisted Katharine Kidd Fall 2014 burgundy skirt. Love it! Jessica accessorized this feminine style with Melinda Maria 'Mattie' pavé stud earrings and black satin Giuseppe Zanotti sandals. Later in the evening, Jessica ditched the satin lapel jacket for a Gelinas Fall 2014 forest-green strapless bodysuit with a flowy pair of wide-leg Max Mara pants. She recycled her black-and-white clutch, and complemented the look with simple gold jewelry. This evening look is timeless and it just might be our favorite of her looks for the day!
What do you think? Do you love her flirty burgundy skirt or are you a fan of her high-waisted trousers? Vote in the poll below on your favorite look!

text: February 03, 2019 Friends of Morningside Park February 03, 2019/ Luther Robinson, III Mission and PurposeAn all volunteer organization founded in 1981. Our mission and purpose is to be a catalyst for the rehabilitation and maintenance of Morningside Park in accordance with the ideals of its original designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux and its well deserved status as a Scenic Landmark of New York City.We work with the New York City Dept. of Parks to promote responsible use of the park. In 2000 we commissioned a Master Plan for Morningside Park which was based on extensive community input. We continue to work to raise private funds and advocate for public funds to implement capital improvements called for in the plan.We promote the enjoyment and responsible use of the park through an extensive set of programs which over the years have included arts and cultural festivals, a farmers market, film screenings, public art displays, musical and theatrical performances, sports tournaments, community picnics, park cleanups and plantings, tree lightings and holiday events. Our HistoryIn 1981 Tom Kiel a Columbia University undergraduate saw the deteriorating condition of our historic park. He began organizing meetings and park cleanups. At the time, the Parks Dept. was getting ready to implement large scale changes to the park which would have obliterated much of the remaining Olmsted design. Along with several other Columbia students, Tom formed the Friends of Morningside Park with an aim to halt these changes and fight for park restoration in keeping with Olmsted's design priniciples. Incorporated in 1982, the core mission of the Friends of Morningside Park has not changed to this day.Although the world lost Tom Kiel in 1996, his work continues and we are proud and very fortunate to have members of his family, members of our original board, and volunteers from our early years still working with us.We maintain an archive of articles about Tom and the early work of our organization.

Let's Review: Obama's Plan to Limit Tax Breaks
President Barack Obama's ideas for limiting tax deductions and other breaks for higher-income households appear alive and well, as Washington turns to post-election negotiations on the future of tax policy.
Mr. Obama actually has several little-noticed limits on tax breaks in his budget, most of which generate a lot of money. Democrats want as much as $1.5 trillion in tax increases to reduce deficits over the next decade…
As attention turns to the area, it's worth reviewing them:
The biggest: A limit on the value of a range of tax breaks for higher earners. It includes limiting the value of itemized deductions, but also many other breaks, including municipal bond interest, health-care insurance and retirement-plan contributions, among other things. Over the next decade it would raise about $584 billion by itself. That makes it the biggest single increase Mr. Obama proposes on high-income households. (By comparison, raising the basic income-tax rates for higher earners would produce about $442 billion, according to the administration's budget).

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Officials in Alabama say they're investigating a series of thefts involving metal urinal components from restaurant bathrooms.
Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Randy Christian told Al.com (http://bit.ly/1oKNobD) Wednesday that authorities have been told of a man walking into men's rooms and stealing flush valves and supply lines from urinals. Authorities say the man left each business without being noticed.
Christian says the pipes weren't made of copper and would have little value if a thief tried selling them as scrap metal. Christian says officials are unsure why the items are being stolen.

I guess we are the only two here who like them. I'd like a print too. Now which one..
I like em. Any ideas on what he did here?
That's how one way that I've done shots like that. Though multiple exposures on film can be very similar.
I remember in the film days you had to stop down a couple of stops after every exposure?Would this be true today you think?Do you guys think these were done with just multiple pops at same exposure?
I was going to suggest that it was multiple exposures. And I agree that mults should only be done for "real" with film, not with layers in PS.

2016 fever tests Clinton-Obama bond
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's political marriage is about to be put to the test.
For five years their unlikely alliance has gone, by and large, smoothly. He has benefited from a widely admired secretary of state whose presence in his administration helped unite the party after their 2008 combat. She has burnished her foreign policy CV and taken a break from the political grind as she mulls a second run at the White House.
Story Continued Below
But Obama's own recent difficulties, combined with the swirl of attention around Clinton and her intentions in 2016, is threatening to alter those dynamics — in ways that aren't helpful to either of them.
Obama needs his party's attention devoted to helping him salvage the final three years of his administration. But Democratic donors and activists say the growing anticipation around a possible Clinton administration three years out could accelerate the president's arrival at lame duck status. The more Obama is viewed as a has-been, they say, the harder it could be for him to rally the party to fight for his agenda.
( PHOTOS: President Obama and Hillary Clinton)
For Clinton, the rising 2016 speculation — which she is not actively trying to suppress — could force her to make uncomfortable choices sooner than she'd like about whether or how to distance herself from the president. The problem is that at this point neither Clinton nor anyone else knows whether Obama will recover from his worst stretch in the White House and right his second term, or whether he'll stumble to the finish line, leaving voters with a hangover for which they won't see her as the cure.
Obama and Clinton are both swimming against the same strengthening current, said Ed Rendell, the former Pennsylvania governor and ex-chairman of the Democratic National Committee who was a strong Clinton ally in 2008.
"She wants to stay under the radar screen and he wants her to stay under the radar screen" so the focus is on his agenda rather than the next election, said Rendell. "It's a mutual thing."
( PHOTOS: Who's talking about Hillary 2016?)
Yet while the extended Clintonworld is concerned about how she will deal with Obama's record, she is showing signs of positioning herself as the inheritor of the Obama tenure —she backed him on the decision to seek congressional approval to bomb Syria and has been quiet on controversial issues like the botched Obamacare rollout. Obama aides have helped feed that perception with comments anointing Clinton as the all-but-certain nominee if she were to run.
Clinton's close association with Obama could deprive any serious primary challenger of oxygen but become difficult in a general election if voters are looking for change.
"Hillary Clinton is the life raft on Obama's sinking ship: Obama's troops would be a lot less likely to abandon ship if she wasn't around," said Republican strategist Alex Castellanos.
He added, "Hillary has to separate from Obama to win the general election but has to hug him close to win the nomination. If she leaves any room in the primaries between Obama and her own candidacy, she creates an opening for Elizabeth Warren. It's going to be a tough call to figure out how close to hug the leper."
( WATCH: Hillary Clinton's thoughts on 2016)
This is a special situation for two politicians who started as rivals, became teammates and could become torch-passers. Unlike 2008, when each looked to capitalize on the country's eagerness to move beyond George W. Bush, there's now a Democrat who needs to look like the emerging hope of the future without making the current Democratic president look like he's part of the past.
For Obama, whose political power has often been wrapped up in the hope of what's ahead, and Clinton, whose political future will depend in large part on not seeming like a relic of what's behind, the question is especially pressing.
"Because of the belief that it may take the '16 election to break through the current political paralysis, [Clinton] as such a dominant front-runner on the Democratic side could well have the high-class challenge of the base, constituencies and stakeholders looking for her to lay out her positions earlier than one may normally see," said Democratic strategist Chris Lehane.
But Lehane argued that the entire 2016 conversation has been sped up out of precisely that concern — that Washington is broken and frozen. And adding to the rapid cycle is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's unabashed approach to 2016, which amounts to "Of course I'm thinking about it! Bring it on!"
The Clinton question is the kind of political speculation that White House aides prefer to avoid, and they declined to comment.
With good reason, say Hill Democrats, given the White House's recent troubles and Obama's historically difficult relationship with members of his party in Congress.
"He's still got the bulk of his second term left and a political panic right now only on the health care difficulties is the reason why people want to look beyond," said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.). "There's a danger … if you're going to be in a fight, you need all hands on deck."

I must admit, I've been dreaming of the day when I could name a Cake Wreck "Cake Rex" for a looong time now. Heck, we're talking prime potential-mascot material here, folks! So will today be the day? Will it?
Well, let's see:
Uh, this looks like someone was going for a dinosaur-skin rug, but forgot to skin the dino first. He's kind of straddling the lines between alligator, lizard, and dinosaur, too. And what's going on with the back end?
Yikes! Are we sure there's actually a cupcake in there, Ian T.?
Next there's Jacqueline S.'s Nessie:
Actually, since there's two of them, maybe it should be Nestor & Nessie. Looove the shoestring necks and Nessie's pig snout, but those candles are just cruel. Not sure I want to get into the debate over whether the Loch Ness Monster is a dinosaur, either. Next!
Hey, look: someone decorated a block of floral foam with an "after-the-meteor-hit" vignette! The petrified dinosaur skeletons and the still-burning remains of the local vegetation are spot-on. We may not know the occasion, Gwen F., but at least Greg - whoever he is - is being greeted really enthusiastically. (Which is kind of ironic, given the whole death-and-destruction theme.)
So anyway, those are the remains of dinosaurs - do we have any with their skin still on?
What the heck... is that someone's small intestine draped over the side?!? And how much of that is actually cake, Shani H.? It looks like solid plastic.
Um, I don't think this is worthy of being called Cake Rex, either, but get a load of the itty bitty dino-arms sticking out next to the head. Kinda reminds me of my all-time favorite Dinosaur clip:
I've watched that about 8 times in a row now, and that arm-waving action still cracks me up.
Well, that concludes today's search for the ultimate Cake Rex. I'll just keep looking, then, shall I?

Type 2 diabetes medications chart 2014,diabetes type 1 cure may 2012 youtube,yamaha psr s650 style list,type 2 diabetes injection devices - Plans On 2016
The mainstream news sources seem determined to ignore the extent of the global slowdown in trade.
Banking is our biggest export industry by far, winning work from across the EU and bringing it back here, creating jobs across the UK – two thirds of them outside London. In addition, we discuss a development that Rory has uncovered concerning the IMF's SDR and the gradual removal of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. Here is another article filled with apparently unverifiable assertions and demands regarding nuclear technology and the necessity for America to defend itself. We've been documenting inconsistencies about the US nuclear program and asking where verification exists and how it was developed.
This Times article is a good example of assertions that are provided without evident factual support.
Last year, according to the UN, 65.3 million individuals were forcibly displaced worldwide.
Of this 65.3 million, roughly 40 million were displaced in their own countries, and the remaining 24 or so million were refugees and asylum seekers who left their home countries, on the hunt for greener pastures. Immigration is more than a touchy subject, and discussing it is often clouded by sentiment and disinformation. The poll, conducted by Gravis Marketing, shows overwhelming opposition to increased immigration – a sticking point that impacts Americans across the board, regardless of all the race baiting the system tries to foster to keep people divided.
And it is a potent issue that Donald Trump could take up and ride all the way to the White House – particularly if voters see the issue in the stark terms that the poll lays out. With the price of oil tumbling and silver moving higher, the man who oversees more than $100 billion urges investors to buy gold and gold miners.
From CNBC: Jeff Gundlach, who oversees more than $100 billion at Los Angeles-based DoubleLine, "The yield on the 10-year yield may reverse and go lower again but I am not interested.
Many a-list celebs have tones of fame but their fortunes are small potatoes compared to these folks, the billionaires. The story of millionaire Simon Cowell, who dropped out of school at 15, worked for Sony BMG and EMI Music. Our roundtable guests talk about their roles as agents and being acknowledged by their clients. The world knows Valeria Lukyanova as the girl who turned herself into a real-life Barbie doll. Whether exports, imports, industrial production or whatever your preferrred metric, the facts are undeniable. But a new poll makes clear that Americans have had enough of the unlimited swarm of immigration, at least in terms of its impact on American jobs.
Trump's post-convention bounce has been erased with Hillary surging to a 7-point lead according to the latest CBS News poll (with a reported 90% of voters confirming their minds are made up). Desperate attempts by both countries have been unsuccessful in altering the downward trajectory which is steadily gaining momentum. Mainland European companies want access to London's deep and liquid capital markets, and having major European banks based here is good for British businesses which want access to their specialist services. Two hours later, I left the hospital with no cast, a bandage (just to cover a very ugly scar), a prescription for painkillers and therapy started a week later. He was king of the one-liners, with the "I don't get no respect" routines perhaps his best-known repartee.
I am not skeptical about electric vehicles (EVs) continuing to grow rapidly for the foreseeable future.
I have only put about 5,000 miles on my car in the past 2 years, so it's hard to justify any sort of premium that could be paid off by fuel savings. NO MATERIAL HERE CONSTITUTES "INVESTMENT ADVICE" NOR IS IT A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY OR SELL ANY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO STOCKS, COMMODITIES, OPTIONS, BONDS, OR FUTURES. Rehab would take many months while I may never regain the previous range of motion or strength again. ACTIONS YOU UNDERTAKE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF ANY ANALYSIS, OPINION OR ADVERTISEMENT ON THIS SITE ARE YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY. North Korea has successfully tested missiles that can be fired from submarines and is threatening to use them. For our purposes today, I would like to borrow another of his famous catch phrases from the movie Easy Money, that being "it's not easy bein me". Because it's becoming increasingly difficult just to survive in this crazy world today with all the psychopaths running around attempting to exploit anything and everything that moves, where all to often these are the people 'in charge'.

Knitting Olympics
Cloud 9 from Heritage Yarns. It almost looks too pretty in the ball to knit.
Sunday, January 29, 2006
One week
... and some more knitting got done at the weekend. Two pairs of handwarmers. Please ignore the fact that I'm incapable of taking a picture of my own arm which doesn't make it look like something I've donated to science. Really quite weird. No humans were harmed in the taking of these photos, honest. Yes, I am this pale in the winter, but those are freckles, not some life-endangering skin disease... Honest...
This pair, which look even more Undead than the next ones, are in Jonelle Aran, bought years ago and Procion-dyed about 4 years ago. It's a rib pattern with horseshoe lace up the back...
This pair are a simple rib pattern in Gedifra Soffice - feels lovely. 51% wool, 49% acrylic...
Also made, a sweater for Ben(edict), 2 year old son of my college friend Dom and his wife Clare - AKA the newly-minted Deputy Ambassador to Spain and his eye-surgeon-wife... there are days I feel like a total underachiever... The darker yarn is a lot less purple and a lot more brown than this photo shows...
I'm always a bit freaked by knitting sweaters for toddlers - the arms are so much smaller than you expect from the bodies, and so on - but when I'm making things up I tend to use the general measurements from Tadpoles and Tiddlers from Rowan, and parents tend to be happy with that...
Sunday, January 22, 2006
Some like it hot...
These are washcloths; they're about 11"/28cm square in different patterns from the first Barbara Walker book of patterns, in a Patons cotton blend which is washable and friends with kids tell me is hardwearing. Personally I don't use flannels, bath mitts etc. but these look extremely nice sitting in a basket, so I hope others will like them! They're also very nice to knit - take an hour and a half or so each and you get to try a different pattern each time... The Horseshoe Lace one (the red one at bottom right) is my favourite pattern so far - am currently knitting a bag in 9 strands of fine novelty yarn on 10mm needles with that one...
Then two scarves knitted on a circular needle so the stripes go lengthways.
I had fun with these two; all sorts of yarns picked up over the last few years; they're about 230cm long each so the Dr. Who effect is in full force. I'll have to make a couple of shorter ones too...
A felted bag. I have a few of these but this is the finished one so far... Rowan Magpie, Debbie Bliss Maya and some Lana Grossa metallic eyelash...
And then lastly a scarf knitted out of hand-dyed nylon ribbon; which would have been fine to knit in summer, but the various rough and broken skin on my hands meant I was pulling loops through on this one all afternoon yesterday... Pretty though and it's got a lovely drape. This photo doesn't do the colour much of a favour - there's more green in it then pictured.
Otherwise over the weekend
- while knitting I've watched 6 West Wing episodes (but only one new one as per self-rationing agreement - I only have 5 of the Sorkin-written ones left, sniff), listened to most of an Ann Granger audio book and listened to more Virgin Radio than the brain can comfortably accommodate.
- also watched 'The Fog of War' which was completely fascinating - I tried to see this a couple of years ago when it came out, then forgot all about it, and it turned up in the small but very quirky selection of films the Village Stores get from their suppliers. I know far too little about the internal US politics of the Vietnam War period, but it's given me the need to go off and read a lot, if only to work out why I came into the film instinctively prepared to hate Robert McNamara, and came away with huge admiration and respect...
- had a friend round for dinner last night, interrupted by a power cut when the pudding (apple cake) was halfway through cooking; it was somewhat... interesting... in texture when everything came back on an hour or so later, but luckily perfectly edible... Thankfully I could lay my hands on the mini hurricane lantern and gas canister...
- and tidied the kitchen and dining room properly for the first time since the Christmas holidays. A productive weekend...

Magi day
From the back, clockwise: a whopping great skein of Heritage Yarns' Cloud 9 (50% cotton, 50% rayon bouclé), 832 metres of crunchy goodness. It's likely to become the Triangles within Triangles shawl....
Then a skein of Kaalund kid mohair, colour Tropical Berries; don't know about this one but there's 350 metres of that too, so it'll turn into something decent-sized... These were both from my parents who were primed with URLs...
And finally some Koigu KPPM (and I'd refer you to this cartoon for the appropriate reaction) - this is from Jan; utterly gorgeous stuff in rainbow colours. Until I put it next to the mohair I hadn't realised how good they looked together... Hmmmmm. Which is interesting; the Kaalund yarn I gave her was in the same colourway...
And here's some texture and maybe some better colour: Koigu on the right, Kaalund on the left and Heritage on the bottom; gorgeous stuff.
These haven't left the dining room table since I got them; just keep fondling them...
Monday, January 02, 2006
When I posted yesterday, I'd forgotten the ponchos I knitted for Christmas. Then late last night I got a mail from Suzanne at Heron Farm to ask me to lunch, so I was hoping I could get some pictures of the girls wearing their ponchos. Didn't have to worry too much - apparently they've hardly been taken off and also double as dressing-gowns. Here are Fiona (R, age 7) and Lorna (L, age 4) modelling their very bright items. I hand-dyed some Velvet Touch back in August for the main space-dyed part of this, and there's some novelty yarn and acrylic in there. Very good fun to knit and I have some lovely hand-made thankyou cards to bring home.
And here's the obligatory cat pic - this is Fiona with Smudge (age 9 weeks)...
Sunday, January 01, 2006
Giving and receiving
In order of receipt - my friend Sue (who is blogless, sadly) stitched me this cat ornament (from this year's Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue) - this was absolutely my favourite from the magazine, and evidently I managed to convey this sometime-or-other!
And then on Friday Jan and I got together, and she gave me this!
(The throw, not the cat or the chair. I had them already. Took 13 minutes for Tilda to discover the throw, which was less time than it took me to hunt down the spare batteries for the camera). Isn't it beautiful? The flash has made the colours look a bit harsher than they are - here's another pic which gives a better idea of the colours in lamplight but is blurry
And here's a picture of the stitch detail. I don't know whether instructions for it will be in this book, but I'm hoping so...
Giving, next. Now that the final piece of Christmas knitting has headed to its recipient, I can put up some photos.
First, some socks
From left to right, these were for friends Jan, Stewart, Pete and Helen. They're all in Opal - Jan's pair is in Magic, Stewart's in Rainforest (Chameleon), Pete's in Lollipop and Helen's in Brazil.
Now some scarves. As well as these ones (for my aunt and mam) and this one (for my Dad), and this one for the lady at the cattery who both collected and delivered this Christmas, there was also a purple curly-wurly which can just be seen in this photo, and there were also these two
for my in-laws, who keep in touch (the left one is from the free Cloud pattern from Get Knitted in Cherry Tree Hill merino laceweight, and the right is the DNA scarf in Phildar Chiné, which is now discontinued). And yeah, for anyone with eagle eyes, that is a spreadsheet for tracking the progress of Christmas presents on the top left. I can be freakishly organised that way.
And there's also the bunny:
for my cousin Kevin. The yarn for this bunny is handspun angora; if that wasn't special enough, it was spun in the late 1980s by Chilean dissidents in internal exile (I'm actually not making this up; the dissidents in question were university friends of my French penfriend's parents, and a relative used to go over a couple of times a year and smuggle yarn back in for sale in France to keep them going). Last year I realised I was never going to wear the boxy 1980s sweater I knitted with it, so with much tribulation I unravelled it, and it's not suffered too much. I still have most of the yarn and will make something else with it...

Africa summit to proceed despite Ebola outbreak
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says there are no plans to change or cancel an upcoming summit of African leaders in the U.S. despite an Ebola outbreak in Liberia.
More than 40 African leaders are set to meet with President Barack Obama in Washington next week.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz says the U.S. is aware of reports that American citizens have been diagnosed with Ebola but notes that the Centers for Disease Control has determined there's no significant risk to the U.S.
Schultz says Obama is getting regular updates on the outbreak. He says U.S. agencies are providing equipment and other support and that the U.S. is working closely with governments in the region to prevent the virus from spreading.
The highly contagious virus is one of the world's most deadly diseases.

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday, the San Francisco Giants announced Thursday they will increase security at AT&T Park, beginning with Friday night's game against the San Diego Padres that opens a six-game homestand.
Mirroring precautions set up at AT&T Park for the World Baseball Classic and postseason games, mandatory bag checks and wanding will be utilized at all gates.
Gates open two hours before first pitch at AT&T and, due to the extra security measures, the Giants are encouraging fans to arrive early.

A Tujunga man was arrested Thursday for allegedly stealing a part of the wrecked red Porsche Carrera GT that Paul Walker and Roger Rodas were in when they died in a fiery crash last weekend.
A second unidentified man connected with the theft is making plans to turn himself in to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department, according to officials.
The remains of the wrecked supercar were towed away from the Valencia crash scene around 10 p.m. Saturday, and police say several cars followed the tow truck. The truck was taking the car back to an impound yard for additional investigation.
While the flatbed tow truck was stopped at a red light at McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road, a man allegedly took a T-top roof panel from the wreckage.
Jameson Witty, 18, was arrested outside his Tujunga home as deputies arrived to search the residence. The panel was located at another home in Canyon Country.
It is not immediately clear what role each of the two suspects played in the alleged theft.
Witty remains in custody at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's station in lieu of $20,000 bail, according to sheriff's records. He faces potential charges of grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Walker, an actor and star of the "Fast and Furious" franchise, was a passenger in the 2005 Porsche driven by financial adviser and part-time race car driver Rodas when it collided with a light pole and tree before exploding, killing both men.
Officials have said speed appears to be a factor, but the investigation into the cause of the crash remains on-going.
Fans have flocked to the site of the crash, in an industrial business park on Hercules Street near Kelly Johnson Parkway, since word of the actor's death spread early Saturday evening. There is a growing sea of flowers, cards and candles for the two men, and deputies have been regularly stationed near the site since the crash.
Warnings have been issued that cars parked illegally will be ticketed and that traffic laws will be strictly enforced after some fans began speeding past the site in homage to Walker's fast-driving character Brian O'Connor in the movie series.
Fans have planned a public memorial at the site for Sunday.

James Robertson is a 56 year-old Detroiter who works in Rochester Hills, MI. There is a distance of 23 miles between his work and his home. He has no car - his Honda Accord died - so he takes the bus part of the way and walks the rest. "The rest" being 10 1/2 miles each way. This man walks 21 miles each day to get to his job.
Sometimes, people give him rides but most of the time it's just him, hoofing it to and from the bus stops (southeast Michigan has spotty mass transit). His days are long but he has a stellar attendance record because he does this every single work day.
I'm not an internets techster so I know nothing of your crowdmoney kickfunders and so on but how hard could it possibly be for us to raise a few bucks and get this guy a car? He's a true American Hero and Heroes should have cars.
UPDATE: A gofundme site has been set up for James. Donate here if you are inclined to help. I suggest putting "Jalopnik" in the subject line, as I just did. http://www.gofundme.com/l7girc
UPDATE II: Yes, getting James a "car" contemplates the cost of insurance and maintenance. Due to the generous donations received so far, it looks like he will be able to budget for those things too. (There is no need to post questions - or send angry emails - asking, "Hasn't anyone thought about the insurance?!")

Firstly, thank you all for all your kind comments on the last post and the decorations.
Secondly, I have just finished reading Wolf Hall And Bring Up The Bodies, both by Hillary Mantle and both about Henry the 8th and Thomas Cromwell so I am in a very" firstly" frame of mind.
But I digress. I know it's the holidays and I should be decking the halls...
I just wanted to take a moment and sing the praises of the Lab.
Not only has she opened up her home and her dog bed to the kittens, she has appointed herself their legal guardian.
Last night all 3 of them were cavorting about in the yard while I cooked dinned. I keep the screen door propped open and the main door ajar so everyone can rush in and out willy nilly.
Suddenly both Nika and Lucy were running from room to room, coming into to talk to me in the kitchen,then running outside again.
I realized Gus, Mr. Hollywood,was missing from the pack. After I searched the ( v.small) yard with a flashlight I came back inside to continue dinner. But not the Lab.
Even though I was cooking BEEF, she stood side by side with Lucy, scanning the street, waiting for the prodigal son to come sauntering home.
And return he did, maybe 30 minutes later. Dirty and demanding dinner, totally unapologetic.
Nika got fed first.
She's our heroine.
What a big, beautiful, well trained (unless there's a rabbit or SQ about) dog.
( Now,we return to our regularly scheduled Christmas program )

Calling All Evil Wrecks Henchpeople...
The time has come to again report for duty, my attractive, intelligent, and oh-so-discriminating readers. Yes, that's right; through only a minuscule amount of effort you can ensure that I am lavished with a prestigous award: the 2008 Weblog Award for Best Food Blog.
(Sure, had it been left up to me I would have placed Cake Wrecks in the 'Best Humor Blog' category, but it wasn't, so I couldn't. [shrug] The powers that be at the Weblogs place each blog in only one category as a finalist, so we can only bow to their superior authority and, as they say, "go with it". Besides, far be it from me to look a gift award in the mouth, right?)
Oh, and here's the best part: unlike the Blogger's Choice Awards, you don't have to register to vote! Nope, all you have to do is click the link and then click on Cake Wrecks. Bada bing, bada boom. You'll even see real-time results of the polls after you vote, which currently look like this:
I'm sure that together we can shake those numbers up a bit though, 'cuz you know the best bestest part? You can vote once every day, playahs! Polls close Tuesday, January 13th, so 'til then why not make voting for Cake Wrecks part of your morning routine?
Thanks in advance, my loyal lovelies. You will all be rewarded in the coming Cakey Kingdom...
UPDATE: Oh, and while you're at it, I've just been told that the 2009 Bloggies are now accepting nominations. Honestly, I had no idea there were so many different award sites for blogs! Still, maybe for the Bloggies one of you henchies could nominate Wrecks in a more appropriate category? I mean, I feel kinda bad for the more legitimate "food blogs" on the BCAs. Not bad enough to spoil my fiendish glee at CRUSHING the competition, mind you, but still kinda bad.
Speaking of which, thanks to all of you for voting and for being the a$$-kickin'est group of readers a blogger could ever ask for. I am feelin' the love, guys, and believe me when I say it matters - it really does.

By Tom Withers | Associated Press
BEREA When he was a kid, Browns kicker Phil Dawson worshipped the Dallas Cowboys.
In Texas, its mandatory.
Unless you grow up in Houston, Dawson said. The rest of the state is Cowboys and thats all you did was follow the Cowboys.
And that he did.
Like many boys growing up deep in the heart of the Lone Star state, where football and religion intersect, Dawson dreamed of one day wearing the Cowboys royal blue and famed five-pointed star. He even decked out his bedroom into a pseudo shrine to Americas Team.
I had a Doomsday Defense poster on my wall, Dawson said. My high school years was the dynasty with the three Super Bowls. I was pretty spoiled as a football fan. My dad, we had season tickets, so I had a few stars sitting around the house and some good memories.
Dawson hopes to add new ones Sunday, when the Browns (2-7) visit the Cowboys (4-5) in what will be a second homecoming in two weeks for the 37-year-old, who has been perfect so far this season. During the Browns bye last weekend, Dawson returned to his alma mater of Texas and was inducted into the Longhorns Hall of Honor, a tribute hes still absorbing.
It will be just Dawsons second game as a pro in Dallas, and his first visit inside 4-year-old Cowboys Stadium, the monstrous $1.3 billion marvel with its enormous high-definition TV screen, platforms of go-go dancers and retractable roof.
Dawson cant wait.
I just hope they have the roof closed and its a true dome game, said Dawson, who has made 23 straight field goals the NFLs longest current streak since last season. Itll be fun to see it. Ive driven by it. I havent gone in it yet. But everyone Ive talked to whos been in it says its just ridiculous.
The only drawback has been filling ticket requests for family and friends. Dawson expects around 30 supporters.
Its been growing every day, he said. Im about to close down the ticket office. I cant afford many more.
Hes not the only Browns player with connections.
Rookie running back Trent Richardson is hoping Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith will be in attendance. From the same high school in Pensacola, Fla., where Richardson broke most of Smiths records, the two have developed a close relationship.
Richardson speaks regularly to Smith, Dallas iconic No. 22, for advice.
Thats one person I said I always wanted to be like when I was growing up, said Richardson, who has rushed for more than 100 yards in two straight games despite still being slowed by a rib cartilage injury. Im just trying to follow in his footsteps and see if I can do better than how he did. Thats big footsteps to follow.
Richardson is trying to become the first Browns rookie to string together three straight 100-yard games, a feat even the great Jim Brown couldnt accomplish.
For Dawson, Sundays game is a chance to continue what has been a personally sublime 14th NFL season.
Hes made all 17 field-goal tries and is 16-of-16 on extra points. Dawson is the lone kicker in the league with more than nine attempts who hasnt missed. In his previous game, Dawson accounted for all of Clevelands points by kicking five field goals in a 25-15 loss to Baltimore.
Ever humble, and mindful of a kickers fragile existence, Dawson didnt want to make much of his impressive nine-game run.
Were off to a good start, he said. I certainly dont want to diminish that, but theres still seven games to go. So I could screw this whole thing up pretty quick. I like where I am right now, but Im only as good as my next kick, and the last thing I want to do is to go home to my hometown and poop the bed, so to speak.
So much of Dawsons youth revolved around the Cowboys and trips to their former stadium in Irving, Texas.
He attended high school games there with his father, Robert, an accountant who pointed out footballs innate beauty to his son. On Sundays, Dawson would carry books with him to Cowboys games, though he would rarely crack any open, preferring to learn more about Tom Landrys flex defense than the Revolutionary War.
I learned the game from my dad and a lot of that was sitting there watching Cowboy games, Dawson said. He taught me a few things and helped me look at things and explain things. Those were some good memories.
Dawsons children will be at Sundays game. He and his wife, Shannon, have kept their three kids in school in Texas, a separation that has been hard on Dawson. They were all together last week in Austin for his enshrinement, and the Dawsons will gather again to watch dad try to beat the Cowboys.
He has spent his entire career in Cleveland, so surely his house is free of any Cowboys paraphernalia.
Ill go with that, he said, cracking a smile.
Dawson confessed that his oldest son, Dru, has a Cowboys bedroom like he had.
His bedroom is blue, Dawson said. Hes got the star, the NFL emblem, hes got the stadium. I dont know if he has any of the players. He has the mural type stuff all over the place. And then theres obviously Browns helmets.
Good thing.
So will Dru be allowed at Sundays game?
Oh yeah, Dawson said. No blue though.

Ogden, Parcells, Sapp, Carter enter Pro Football Hall of Fame
Updated 11:08 PM ET
CANTON, Ohio Forcefully and emotionally, Cris Carter summed up the 50th induction ceremony for the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
The seventh and final inductee from the Class of 2013, Carter honored dozens of people in his life who were "going into the Hall of Fame with me tonight," as he followed Jonathan Ogden, Dave Robinson, Larry Allen, Bill Parcells, Curley Culp and Warren Sapp in being inducted.
More than 120 hall members, a record, returned for the 50th anniversary celebration of the shrine.
"I appreciate the process you have to go through to get to be a Hall of Famer," said Carter, who had perhaps the best hands of any receiver the NFL has seen. "To be able to join these men on this stage in football heaven is the greatest day of my life."
Carter needed six tries to make the hall even though he retired as the No. 2 career receiver behind Jerry Rice. He choked back tears as he made his speech after being presented by his son, Duron, and he spoke of his problems with alcohol while playing three years for the Eagles before being released.
He hooked on immediately with the Vikings and hooked onto nearly everything throw his way: Carter finished his 16-season career with 1,101 catches for 13,899 yards and 130 touchdowns.
"This game gave me identity, gave me a sense of purpose," he said.
Parcells also seemingly spoke for everyone in the Hall of Fame, and all the people gathered Saturday night.
"There's a kinship created that lasts for the rest of your life," he said about his experience as one of the NFL's most successful coaches.
Parcells had several of his proteges in the crowd at Fawcett Stadium. The only coach to take four franchises to the playoffs, Parcells won Super Bowls with the New York Giants in the 1986 and 1990 seasons. The master of the team turnaround with the Giants, Patriots, Jets and Cowboys, Parcells was called "the definitive winner" by former player George Martin, who presented him for induction.
"Every organization I worked for supported me to the fullest," Parcells said. "Without that, you've got no shot."
Parcells' career record was 183-138-1 and he won Coach of the Year honors in 1986 and 1994. He asked to have his bust placed somewhere near Lawrence Taylor in the hall "so I can keep an eye on that sucker."
And he mentioned a quote by former Giants defensive back Emlen Tunnell, the first black man inducted into the Canton shrine, in 1967:
"Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and players in other little groups. But winners assemble as a team."
As relaxed as if he had no one to block, Ogden became the first Baltimore Raven enshrined in the hall. Ogden was the leadoff inductee in his seven-member class, just as he was the first player drafted by the Ravens after the franchise moved from Cleveland in 1996 and was renamed. The man who made that selection, fellow Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome, now Baltimore's general manager, presented the massive offensive tackle.
A former college shot putter at UCLA, at 6-foot-9, 345 pounds, Ogden was an imposing presence at tackle for a dozen seasons in Baltimore, winning the 2000 NFL championship. Six months after the Ravens won their second Super Bowl, Ogden gave a smooth, humor-laden speech, always in control just like he was when neutralizing even the best opponents.
"He is part of the foundation of this franchise, part of the reason we have two Super Bowl championships," Newsome said.
Ogden, who was given a 2013 Super Bowl ring by the team, made the hall in his first year of eligibility. He was a six-time All-Pro, made the Pro Bowl 11 times and was the main blocker when Jamal Lewis rushed for 2,066 yards in 2003.
"Talent isn't enough," Ogden said. "A lot of people have talent, they don't always live up to it. For me it is about maximizing, striving for perfection.
"I am so proud to be the Baltimore Ravens' first Hall of Fame inductee."
Allen, who sniffled his way through his speech, was just as dominating a blocker as Ogden. He also was, he said, NFL's strongest man, once bench-pressing 700 pounds, and saying "I did it naturally."
One of the key blockers for Dallas as Emmitt Smith became the NFL's career rushing leader, Allen made six All-Pro squads and 11 Pro Bowls in his 14 seasons, the final two with San Francisco. He won the Super Bowl in the 1995 season and was voted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility,
"I just knew I had to win every play," he said. "That's the reason I am here I knew if I lost a play, I had 45 seconds to get even."
Presented by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who drafted Allen out of small-college Sonoma State in 1994, Allen punctuated his discourse with the requisite "How about them Cowboys?" as he joined the likes of Smith, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders in the hall.
Sapp became only the second Tampa Bay Buccaneer to be enshrined, 18 years after Lee Roy Selmon made it. He was elected in his first year of eligibility following 13 seasons in which he went from instant starter after being selected 12th overall in the 1995 draft to Defensive Player of the Year in 1999. That season, he had 12 1/2 sacks as the Bucs won their first division title in 18 years. For his career, Sapp had 96 1/2 sacks, extremely high for a defensive tackle.
"I sit here with the greatest among the great," Sapp said, breaking into tears. "We're here, baby."
Presented Saturday night by his 15-year-old daughter, Mercedes, Sapp made the NFL's All-Decade squads for the 1990s and the 2000s.
Sapp, who both Ogden and Allen said was as tough to handle as any player they faced, paid tribute to his roots in Plymouth, Fla.
"That dirt road was something rough," he said. "We sure turned it into something special."
Robinson became the 12th inductee from the vintage Packers coached by Vince Lombardi to be enshrined. Robinson was a prototype outside linebacker who could rush the quarterback, cover tight ends or running backs on pass plays, and stop the run. He made the NFL's All-Decade team of the 1960s and won three NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls.
"This is the biggest day of the 21st century for the Robinson family," he said, adding that he "lives 25 miles from here but it took me 38 years to get here."
Not quite: Robinson served on the Hall of Fame's board of directors for 27 years. Now, he has a bust in the museum.
"I never dreamt about the Hall of Fame" when he was at Penn State, he joked. "There wasn't even a Hall of Fame when I broke in to the NFL."
Indeed, Robinson's rookie season was the year the hall was created, 1963.
"Now, I am immortalized."
As is Culp, one of the game's most dominant defensive tackles for much of his 14 pro seasons, including the 1969 season when he helped Kansas City win the NFL title.
A five-time Pro Bowler, Culp also played for Houston and Detroit, retiring in 1981, then waiting more than three decades to be enshrined Saturday as a senior nominee.
"It gives me joy and inspiration that will last the rest of my life," Culp said. "I am just overwhelmed by the struggles, joys and tears of those who made it here. I'm happy to join them in the Hall of Fame.

|Induction Class of 2004
|Previous College:
|UMass Boston '88
|Indoor/Outdoor Track & Field
Porchia "Ann" Brissett was the first star of UMass Boston's legendary track and field run during the mid-1980s. It was no coincidence that her arrival at UMass Boston coincided with the emergence of the UMass Boston women's team as a national Division III track and field power. In her three years at UMB, she became UMass Boston's first track and field All-American and earned All-America status eight times during her career, including four individual NCAA championships. She was a member of the 1984 and 1986 outdoor championship 4X400 relay squads, and captured the 1985 indoor triple jump title, as well as the 1986 outdoor crown for the 400 meter hurdles. Brissett was an integral member of the first three NCAA track and field team championships at UMass Boston, being named captain, while helping the Beacons to the 1985 and 1986 indoor titles as well as the 1986 outdoor championship.
The 1988 UMass Boston graduate was recognized for her outstanding achievements by being named the Division III New England College Athletic Conference Female Athlete of the Year in 1985 for her junior year. Brissett was also a recipient of a special award by the NAACP at its Diamond Anniversary Banquet. Her domination was felt throughout New England achieving All-ECAC status eight times and was also a five-time All-New England performer. Brissett holds an indoor record at UMass Boston for the triple jump and outdoor records in the triple jump and the 400-meter hurdles.

"Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory."- Gandhi
I finished my applications on Thanksgiving. I think (hope) that I applied to a few too many, but I am a pessimist. I feel rejections/waitlists coming, and my fingers are crossed for at least a couple acceptances. I like Gandhi's quote, and I hope that I can keep it in mind next March/April. I worked so hard on college applications, SATs, grades, essays, the whole process, that the results of my applications should not be in the attainment of an acceptance, but rather in my effort.
But that is a bit idealistic. I would be crushed if I was rejected/waitlisted by all of the colleges, and the peace of mind I have now, I hope to have a bit of next spring.
In other matters of life, I am back to normalcy. I can focus on being a good family member and a good friend. I've abandoned all organization for the past few weeks – detrimental to both myself and my family. I'm making quite an effort to be less grumpy, more organized, and less stressed! Christmas is fast approaching (our tree is up!) and I realize how much my family means to me. Sometimes, I unconciously disrespect them, and I think this season is really when I remember how much I appreciate them.
Coming soon: book review, Quicksilver; book review, The Bretheren; baking, Christmas cookies

I look forward to this night and every year. It's the Fiddle & Steel tree decorating party soon.
It's a little gathering all the Fiddle family. We all bring in little bottles of booze — the kind you get on an airplane — and we make our own decorations. Well, you drink your ornament. By the end of the night we're all a bit decorated ourselves, and the bar looks beautiful.
It has very little to do with the drinking; it's about the camaraderie. It's the laughter and memories. Its watching badass guys pull out a glue gun to decorate a little bottle of Crown or Jack. It's the ladies helping hang stockings on the edge of the stage. It's knowing that for the rest of the year there will be a gentle pretty glow to come see every night together with our friends who are more like family.
I love this night! I better get back to decorating…

I took Daisy Boo to the vet this morning for her kennel cough booster. Over the last couple of weeks we'd noticed that when she squats to go to the toilet she will sometimes raise her back right leg. I asked the vet to check it out and she told me she has a luxating patella icon_crying She's going to ring UCD and organise an appointment for surgery. As you can imagine we are absolutely gutted and can't believe she has to go through this. The only good thing about it is that she is not in any pain at all. In fact, had we not noticed this habit when she goes to the toilet it may have become a lot more advanced.
