Is there a pattern conversion for loom knitting?
No, I'm sorry.
Would of been nice to buy your pattern but for some reason wouldnt go through twice. Never was a fan of paypal.
rather than miss out why dont you contact paypal re the problem ?? cheers
This looks lovely. Could you please tell me what ply the wool is? thanks
The pattern calls for Bulky/Chunky #5 weight yarn. This is equivalent to 12-ply yarn. However, if you prefer a different weight yarn and would like to purchase the pattern, Email me at the address printed on the pattern and I can help you figure out how to make the shrug in your size with your preferred yarn weight. I'm always here and ready to help my buyers work up my designs.
I was wanting to make a size Xs and a size large with Caron Simply Soft yarn (medium weight yarn). Would you be ale to help? If so, I would buy the pattern since it seems easy. Thanks!
No problem adapting the pattern for worsted weight yarn. If you decide to purchase, please contact me at the Email address on the pattern and I'll give you instructions on how to adapt the pattern. Thanks for your interest!
Thank you so much for this pattern. I have made 7 up to now as presents for the people I love x
Wow, I'm so thrilled to hear this! Thank you! So you do have any photos you could share with me? My Email address is on the top of the pattern. Marcia
Have just finished and am ready to do the seam for the sleeves. What seam technique do you recommend and should I block the shrug before doing the seams
Hi Karen, I always recommend invisibly weaving all seams and the technique depends on whether you're joining stockinette, reverse stockinette, ribbing, doing vertical to vertical, horizontal to horizontal, vertical to horizontal, etc. . Either the one-half stitch seam allowance or one-stitch seam allowance approach will work, depending on your preference, followed by either a slip stitch or single crochet edging on the bottom of each sleeve. Blocking requirements depend on the type of yarn you're using. Animal fibers always need blocking and acrylic yarn doesn't respond to blocking. When I knit with animal fibers I sometimes block the piece before joining, other times not, depending on what I learned about the finished fabric when I did the gauge swatch. Having said all that, it's easiest to do side seam invisible weaving when the edges are laying flat.
I am fairly new at knitting, and have a problem. I love the project, it is finished, but the ribbing wants to turn up at the bottom and out at the neck, like a collar. I have heard you shouldn't iron ribbing...help, please. I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything else about it, easy to knit, very easy to wear and warm but not overly. The design is easy to wear while working, no shawl ends or bulky ties to get in the way.
Hi and thank you for your comment. I'm so happy you love the project! If I understand your concern, it's that the ribbing turns to form a collar, is that right? Well if you look at the photo of Pam (coral shrug, size Small), you'll see that this happens and is part of the design element for the smaller sizes. It may or not occur with the larger sizes, depending on the size of the shrug compared with its wearer. If you make another shrug and want to try to prevent this design detail, you could try knitting the rib with needles a size or two smaller than the needles used for the main body. For now, if you don't like the collar, you could get some knitting elastic (Clover makes a nice product called "Elastic Yarn Thread") and try tightening up the rib by weaving the elastic through the start, finish and middle of the ribbed area. That may cinch it up a bit and give you a tighter fit. And yes, yes yes! You should NOT iron your ribbing! Or any other part of your knitted pieces. Steaming is one method for blocking but you sort of hover the steam iron a few inches over your knitting to block it. Never touchie touchie!Marcia
No,I said the ribbing turn UP at the bottom and OUT at the neck, meaning it won't lay flat at all. I made size 2x So, can I steam the ribbing? I like the fit, don't really want it tighter, as I like the drape.
I will try your suggestion of changing needle sizes,as I most definitely will be making another one of these. But this one I made using a yarn I really love. It is "Monet", a simple acrylic yarn, but it has the colors of Monet's garden and I have been saving this yarn for years for a special project. I sort of solved the neckline issue by using a ribbon tie in front to pull it closed, so it will lie flat in front,
Hm .. up at the bottom and out at the neck, huh? That's interesting. I'm wondering if you did your bind off too loosely. And if you did the bind off in the rib pattern, which is what you should do when binding off a rib. Knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches as you bind off. The problem using acrylic yarn is that it doesn't take to blocking very well. Steaming is a technique for blocking mostly natural fibers and I'm not sure you'd get a good result with your acrylic project. I honestly don't think at this point it would do much good. Since you seem to have solved the problem with the ribbon tie, I guess we're ok for now with your current project. But you know, I have a hunch that if the ribbon worked, the elastic thread would do a great job. I often use it when I work with cotton, because cotton stretches and is not happy about holding on to a rib. I'll either run the elastic thread along with my yarn and knit the rib with it, or go back and weave the thread into the edge, middle and where the ribbing yields to the main stitch of the garment. Hope all this helps. It's important to me that my buyers are no less than thrilled with their purchase, have fun knitting it up and end up with a fabulous completed project. If you have more questions, you'll find my email address at the top of the pattern.Thanks again!Marcia
I did bind off loosely, but did follow the ribbing pattern. I'll do the elastic trick on this one, running a couple of rounds, cause I'm NOT doing a frog stitch on this project, lol! Thanks so much again for your help.
HA! I don't blame you for not wanting to frog!! For those reading this who don't know what we're talking about, we call ripping out "frogging" because a frog says something that sounds a lot like "Rip it! Rip it!"
Hi, I wear a size 6 but when I did your arm outstretched tip I cast on 138 stitches. Is that going to be too much and also I can't for the life of me figure out how this is sown together and how it will work. Please help
HI and thanks for your question. Pam, my model in the coral shrug wears about a size 6, so if you like the shrug on her, then I think you'd be fine if you follow the directions for that. Make sure you do a gauge swatch first so you have the right gauge. As for sewing it together, just follow the pattern and let me know if you have any questions. My Email address is on the pattern and also in the thank you note sent to all buyers.
That would be fine for me but my question is should I do 114 or follow the tip of outstretched arms and use 138.
In your case I'd suggest you follow the pattern as directed for the smallest size. I mostly give the tip to make sure larger sizes turn out roomy enough. Please make sure to do a gauge swatch to make sure you're got the required gauge. So many knitters are in such a big hurry to start a project that they ignore making a swatch. I recommend that you not only make a gauge swatch that's at least a 4 inch square, but that you wash and dry and block if required before measuring the gauge. In this way, you'll be sure of having the correct gauge.
I'm also a size 14 on the top--usually wear a large in a tshirt. Do you have this pattern in large? What about doing this in Berrocco Vintage Chunky weight yarn? I love the softness of that yarn!
Hi and thank you for your message. No problem customizing the design to fit your needs. I've included instructions in the pattern for the knitter to customize the fit. As for the yarn, you can choose whatever you like and I can help you with your decision. It's very important to me that my knitters are thrilled with their purchase, enjoy the knitting experience and end up with a fabulous outcome. So I'm always available to help.
Hello. Would love to buy the pattern...but I am "vertically challenged" and wondered how difficult it would be to adjust the length of this great pattern
Adjusting the length is easy!! Adjusting the width could present problems depending on how large a body you need to fit. What do you have in mind? Do you want it to cover a larger body circumference ... or do you want the lower edge to hang lower than it does on Pam?
I am an 8-10 petite so more concerned about the length adjustment. Thank you for responding!
I am sorry I may not have answered your question....I would like the lower edge to hang lower as it does on Pam.
Thanks again for your question. No problem adjusting the pattern to hang lower than it does on Pam. Pam's about 5 ft 4 in or so, just to give you an idea. If you decide to purchase the pattern, I'll help you decide exactly how you should revise it to make the length custom fit for you. As for the width, your size 8-10 is perfectly suited for the pattern.
i see that this shrug is knitted on straight needles, it seems like there are so many stitches, wouldn't a circular needle be better?
You could certainly use a circular needle, if that's your preference. I'll go ahead and add that as an option. Thank you VERY much for your comment!!
I wear. 14....will this fit me, too??
For this particular design a size 14 may not work as well as written but you could try to adjust it to fit you a bit better. I could assist with that.
I wear size 4 can you tell me how many stitches I should cast on and what length I should knit to thank you Nan
Hello Nan, you should be able to use the pattern as written for your size.
So, would that be the size small? Usually small is too big for me, especially I. Roomy patterns. Would it be easy to adjust stitches to go down to an xs?
Thanks for your question! The pattern includes instructions for customizing for different sizes. Although I call the various sizes Small, Medium, Large, etc., they are not standard sizes. If you wear a size 4 to 6 you'd be fine with following the instructions for the smallest size, but as I said, you can easily customize the design. If you decide to purchase, take a look at the custom fitting section, but as with all my designs, if you have any questions as you work it up, just contact me at the Email address given on the pattern and I'll help!
Will this pattern be available in L and XL?Sue
Hi Sue, yes, I'm planning on making this design for L and XL. I currently have another project on my needles but should have a Ridiculously Easy Fashion Shawl for larger sizes after that. Thanks so much for asking this question.
Great. Looking forward to getting the pattern and knitting it up.
I VERY much appreciate your interest in my designs, Sue. Thank you! In the meantime, have you seen my Award Winning Kimono Jacket? It's very roomy and is perfect for L and XL size ladies. It's a lot easier to knit than it looks but I didn't tell that to the County Fair judges when they were giving me a Blue Ribbon for it when I entered it in last summer's Fair. Shh ... it's our secret!
I am an X-large so will wait for the larger pattern; looking forward to it.Susan
The larger version is on my knitting needles right now! As they say in the TV world, please stay tuned! Thanks for your interest in my designs.
I'm also a XL and will come back soon and look for the pattern.
Thank you for your interest. I'm making great progress on the large version of the design and hope to be finished within a week or so. If you'd like to be notified when it's ready, you can go to my pattern store and click where it indicates that you can "follow this crafter." Then when I add new patterns, Craftsy will notify you!
thanks I will do that.
Hello. I am horizontally challenged.. . . . about a size 22. Love this pattern can you help!
The revised "Ridiculously Easy Fashion Shrug: S to 3X" is now online and ready for previous buyers to update via their Craftsy page's "My Patterns" link. The shrug is now available in sizes Small, Medium, Large, XL, 1X, 2X and 3X, plus I've included instructions in the pattern for customizing the finished width size. THANKS TO ALL MY KNITTERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ESPECIALLY THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU WHO REQUESTED THE LARGER SIZES AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE UPDATE!
Thank you. I've been a size 3x but have been on a diet and now I am probably at a 2x, and going down, down, down.. After another bunch of lbs, I will likely be able to fit into one of the regular sizes. It's been frustrating being size 3x and no sweaters are sized to fit the larger sizes.
Congratulations on the weight loss! I know how difficult it is to lose weight. I'm working on that myself.
This is a gorgeous piece! What brand of yarn did you use in the example shown?
I purchased this yarn in Europe. It's a chunky weight acrylic blend. I was careless and didn't save the ball band and don't recall the brand. I'm generally good about cataloging my projects but I knit this when I was there and the only thing that came home with me was the completed project.
Is this boucle yarn.....how much will I need to make a lg
I didn't use a boucle yarn but you certainly could if you want to. General information on the amount of yarn required is on the listing and in detail on the pattern itself.
Hil I really love your pattern and would like to buy it, however, I am concerne the size small (as shown in the photo) will be to big for me. I am petite (5" and 110 lbs). Can the pattern be adjusted to fit me?
Absolutely!!! The pattern includes instructions for customizing the fit plus I'm always available to assist and answer questions as you work up the design. By the way, my model Pam wears a size 4-6 and she's wearing the Small.

Episode 23 of 30
Historian Amanda Vickery presents a series which reveals the hidden history of home over 400 years. She draws on first-hand accounts from letters and diaries, many of which have never been heard before. Including songs which have been specially recorded for the series.
These days we take it for granted that the home is a place of refuge in which we express our true self; that idea was an invention of the 18th century. Prof Vickery explores the invention of taste, and the role of interior decor in creating both social prestige and a successful marriage.
A room constructed entirely of feathers, a hermitage in the garden of a Lincolnshire vicarage, Alexander Pope's grotto - how eccentric homes reflected wider 18th-century ideas about science and nature.
Readers: Deborah Findlay, John Sessions, Madeleine Brolly and Simon Tcherniak.

Bottom Line:
At that pressure, these do a pretty good slick impersonation. I've kept them instead of getting a narrower tire because they would be smaller in diameter, and I need gear ratio.
Get Serfas Drifters instead. they are pound for pound the best 26" road tire on the market. Good for short distance commuting, but buy a road bike instead if you're really hauling.

Weaknesses: Slow and heavy on pavement
Bottom Line:
I use this bike to commute 25 miles/day in New York City. I have Hardcases on my other bikes and like them--but on the street, compared to other street tires, these are slow and heavy with high rolling resistance. I'm sorry I let the local bike shop sell them to me while I wasn't thinking; he must have needed to clear out his inventory. If you spend a lot of time on pavement, these tires don't make a lot of sense. I'll be selling them on Craigslist and buying the Satellite Elite Hardcases instead.
If you're used to gravel and hate your knobbies, you'll think these are great. If you're used to pavement and just want to add puncture resistance, get ready to hate your tires.
I'm giving them 5 chilies because FOR THE RIGHT PERSON, they're great, high-quality tires. If you're an urban commuter, you're not the right person.

Date Reviewed: November 2, 2006
Strengths: Bought these tyres for commuting to work which is a mixture of road and gravel tracks in particular I wanted something that was puncture resistant as flints are a big problem. They are great on the road, period. They're fine on gravel tracks and offer really good puncture resistance when they're new. They also work quite well off road so long as its dry. Cheaper than other alternaitives.
Weaknesses: These tyres are heavy. They have reinforced side walls to stop pinch punctures but who would run a semi-slick tyre at pressures low enough to get pinch punctures? Another weakness is off road the side knobs aren't that aggressive and traction when turning in to a corner isn't as good as some other tyres. The gravel tracks are a tyre killer and these tyres despite their extra weight last no longer than the Hutchinsons. After about six months the tiny little flints will have cut up the tyres so much that you start get lots of punctures - time to bin them and get a new pair. In this respect these tyres are just as good/bad as any other reinforced semi-slick.
Obviously, tyres such as this are pretty hopeless off-road in the wet, but they're not designed for that.

On bare pavement I made a quick turn but not exceptionally so and the tires just let go dumping me on the pavement. On analyzing the wipe out I noticed how the knobby treads on the sides of the tire are spaced well apart and rather tall and flexible. If you lean in a turn and ride on these nobs, you abruptly lose traction. I have ridden other knobby treaded tires on the street without having this problem. It is the abrupt transition from smooth tread to wobbly nobs that makes these tires unsafe. I cut all the nobs off these tires after the crash.

Complete List of John Tanner's Wives and Children
4 comments:
I think it's interesting to see that 3 of John's children died in 1918 (Seth, Freeman, & David), likely in the Influenza pandemic (that also killed Pres. Joseph F. Smith and some 20-40 million others around the world). In any case, I thought it pretty remarkable that sons of John Tanner lived to see WWI).ReplyDelete
That is curious that they all died in 1918, but it seems to be a coincidence. Neither Freeman nor David Dan died of the flu. I don't know what Seth died of -- his death certificate doesn't seem to be available from the State of Arizona -- but it was probably just old age.ReplyDelete
I've been exceedingly busy recently, but I've found a little time to get some work done on the Tanner line, and I should blog that as I find it.
I guess my hypothesis was incorrect - it was worth a shot. :) 1918 was just the time for the last of the Tanner children to go home.ReplyDelete
I also never realized that John was 64-65 when his youngest was born (his wife was 39-40).
Also, do you know if all John's children (except maybe the oldest) join the church?
Did they all join the Church? I don't know. Elisha didn't. William Stewart's and Matilda's temple work was done the year after Matilda died so William probably didn't join the Church. Matilda may or may not have joined the Church. She moved to Ohio with her family but no further. I assume the rest would have been members of the Church even if they didn't stay with the Church. I just posted a brief history of Elisha today — he was a medical doctor in Manhattan — and I'll eventually get to the history of the other children who didn't move West.ReplyDelete

EVANSTON, Ill -- Northwestern junior place-kicker Jeff Budzien was voted the Bakken-Anderson Big Ten Co-Kicker of the Year and a first-team All-Big Ten performer by the league's coaches, highlighting NU's entries on the 2012 all-conference teams announced Monday evening.
Budzien, who shared the place-kicking honor with Nebraska's Brett Maher, wrapped up the regular season having converted 17 of his 18 field goal attempts on the year, including 6-of-7 tries from 40 yards or longer. He also is 46-of-46 on extra point attempts this year, remaining perfect for his career (46-of-46) and extending his school record for most consecutive successful PATs.
The Wisconsin native is the first NU kicker since Brian Gowins in 1997 to earn first-team All-Big Ten recognition.
On the heels of his breakout 1,300-yard rushing season, junior running back Venric Mark was named a consensus second-team All-Big Ten choice by both the coaches and conference media. The Houston native is the Big Ten leader in all-purpose yards per game (170.7) and stands fourth in the conference in total touchdowns scored with 14.
One of the men responsible for opening running lanes for Mark, senior guard Brian Mulroe, joined Mark as a second-team all-conference selection in the eyes of the media. Mulroe was an anchor on an offensive line that helped the 'Cats finish third in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game (230.9) and second in fewest sacks allowed (1.3 per game).
Seven additional Wildcats were named honorable mention All-Big Ten performers by either the conference coaches, media or both, with six of the seven making their first career appearance on the All-Big Ten report:

Please, sir… Can I vote absentee?August 13, 2012
Our absentee voting rules page has been cross-checked and updated. As I finished going through the states, one by one, I uttered a slight sigh of relief when I realized that none of the states had tried to pull anything too crazy over on us, like DISCRETELY and COMPLETELY changing ALL of their rules. (Of course, as always, if/when they do, Long Distance Voter will be on it!) I ended up adding a rule bullet-point to both Louisiana and Virginia.
But that got me to thinking as to what I define as "too crazy". I mean some states offer no-excuse absentee voting. Want to vote absentee? Great, go for it! And then some states, like Louisiana, Pennsylvania or Virginia, have what seem like a daunting list of rules and stipulations. Reading through some, a lot of them make sense. "You are away on vacation." "You are 65 or older." "You are a student away at college."
These rules reinforce what absentee voting is all about in the first place, no? To ensure that everyone gets the right to vote that they deserve, by adhering to people's schedules, mobility, locations, etc…? And if that's the case, why the daunting list of rules and stipulations? Why not just join the no-excuse absentee-voting club?! Just a thought…
What updating this page has taught me: Regardless on how I feel about some of these rules, when it comes to something as personal and important as voting, it is really important to read and understand them.

What You Will Experience
By engaging you as a whole person—heart, mind, body, and soul—Pachamama Journeys create an unforgettable experience that will inspire you for a lifetime.
A Soul-Stirring Experience
Pachamama Journeys are purposeful immersions that go beyond conventional eco-tourism and adventure travel, inviting you into deep relationship with the people and lands we visit through a community based tourism experience.
Travel with Purpose
Pachamama Journeys are not only transformative on a personal level; they are also connected to a larger vision for the world - one that is being successfully carried out together with the people and lands we visit.
- Reconnect with what it means to be alive and human at this moment in history.
- Gain new perspective on what "living well" truly means and how you can do it now.
- Deepen or reveal the unique gifts and passion that you have to offer the world.
- Become a part of, and contribute to, a highly effective partnership with indigenous people.
- Embark on a community-based tourism experience, where people are valued over profit.
Become an Ambassador for a Visionary Message
When you travel with us, you join a global community of privileged individuals who have embarked on this unique journey, making you an ambassador entrusted to carry the visionary message of the Achuar people and the rainforest out into the world.
Because we travel on the foundation of long-standing relationships and a shared purpose, we have the experience of being partners with our indigenous hosts, rather than voyeuristic tourists who are looking in from the outside.
Over the past 15 years, more than 1,200 people have journeyed with us to Ecuador. Participants have included travelers from age seven to age 78, adding a multi-generational perspective to an already powerful experience.
Rediscover Your Indigenous Self
In the rush of modern life, it is often hard to remember that humanity did not always live this way.
Thankfully, the Achuar people – our founding partners - and other indigenous people have maintained their reality, affirming on a daily basis that we, as a species, are still hardwired for connection with each other and our environment.
The Pachamama Journey is about accessing and remembering the indigenous part of ourselves. This can fulfill a deep longing for many and it's also a useful, perhaps necessary, undertaking for effectively and creatively dealing with the challenges we face in our lives and world today.
Gain a New PerspectiveThe Pachamama Journey offers the extraordinary opportunity to step outside the familiar, bringing a fresh new perspective - often accompanied by a sense of peace, wellbeing and clarity - to one's own culture and life. While stretching our comfort zone can sometimes be confronting, it opens tremendous space to feel, grow and see new possibilities.
When you hear the call to travel with us, you will be richly rewarded with the journey of a lifetime, one that restores your sense of wonder and connection and recalibrates you to the ancient rhythms of the natural world.
An Immersion with Our Indigenous Partners
We travel at the invitation of the Achuar people, who ask allies in the modern world to visit and learn about the their rainforest, culture, and worldview, and to carry their message home.
Follow the Warrior's Path
Throughout most of their history, the Achuar people have been warriors, engaging in ongoing battle with neighboring tribes and between Achuar clans. Since coming into contact with the forces of the outside world in the 1970's, their warriorship began to take a new form.
In the early 1990s, many indigenous traditions marked the end of 500 years of darkness under colonial rule, and heralded a transition into a new era of balance and possibility.
Masters of building strategic alliances for survival during wartime, the Achuar redeployed their skills to find allies in the industrialized world who would partner with them to strengthen the sovereignty of their ancient culture and their collaboration with other indigenous peoples.
The Achuar are still warriors, only now they defend their ancestral lands, wisdom, and traditions on behalf of all life.
The Pachamama Journey immerses you in this powerful new vision of warriorship. With the Achuar as your guides and teachers, you will have an extraordinary opportunity to experience first-hand the wisdom and ways of being that have sustained their culture and pristine rainforest home for centuries.
Discover Achuar Culture
Entering into Achuar territory is a rare experience, as theirs is one of the world's most intact indigenous civilizations. Thanks to their interdependent approach to life, and their commitment to protecting it with their partners, the rainforest where they make their home is also among the world's most pristine primary forests.
To facilitate your deepest connection with this place and its people, Journeys participants have the unique opportunity to stay in both an Achuar village - where we'll share in daily traditions and may be invited to participate in sacred ceremonies - as well as the award-winning Kapawi Ecolodge or newly constructed Ti'inkias rustic lodge in a different part of Achuar territory.
Throughout your stay, you will have a chance to explore and embody the refined cosmovision that imbues all aspects of Achuar life, from the local plants and animals to traditional foods and crafts.
Connect with Andean Cultures
While time spent in Achuar territory is at the heart of the Pachamama Journeys experience, all groups begin in Quito and spend a couple of days in the Andean highlands with the Caranqui Quichua people before descending into the rainforest.
Travelers are welcomed into the family homes of the San Clemente community, an indigenous-owned and operated community-based project at the base of the sacred Imbabura volcano in the Otavalo region of northern Ecuador.
Unlike their more remote counterparts in the rainforest, the indigenous peoples of the Andes were confronted by outside influence from the earliest days of colonial activity in the region.
Thankfully, their traditions persevered, though deeply affected by centuries of oppression. The intention behind San Clemente is the revitalization of the indigenous cultures of the Andes, and the results are inspiring.
Open Yourself to a New Worldview
Besides providing an experience of the geographical and biological diversity of Ecuador, this part of the itinerary serves a vital time to open ourselves to a different worldview.
You will learn about native healing plants and the indigenous cosmovision of the area, engage in traditional agricultural practices, and have an opportunity to support the local artisans of the area at their open-air market.
We will also visit a local healer, where you'll have the opportunity for a traditional cleansing to let go of anything that may weigh you down as you continue on your journey.
Become a True Ally
Throughout your time in Ecuador, you will be welcomed into the social and spiritual lives of these communities with unforgettable warmth, grace, and generosity.
Just as we take steps to minimize the ecological impact of our journeys, our journey leaders and other team members will offer guidance on how to minimize our social and cultural impact within the communities we visit.
As true allies, we are mindful not to romanticize our indigenous partners - both sides recognize that we each hold a significant, essential piece, and that ultimately, we are interconnected with a common future that is bound up together.
Visiting Ecuador's Amazon and Andes
Each stop on a Journey is an opportunity for experiential learning and brings fresh appreciation of Ecuador's immense geographical, biological, and cultural diversity, and the sense of creative possibility that pervades the country.
All of our journeys follow a similar, intentionally designed flow – time in the Andes to acclimate, connect, and open to the indigenous way of life; a descent into the rainforest for an immersion with the Achuar; and an ascent back into the Andes for integration and completion.
Beginning and ending in Quito, our capable team will handle all logistical arrangements within Ecuador, freeing you to focus on your experience. It is a wonderful opportunity for experiential learning.
Ecuador: A High-Stakes Microcosm of World Systems
Ecuador is a microcosm of the ecological and social challenges and opportunities humankind is facing globally.
The borders of modern-day Ecuador span environments among the most distinct and unique in the world, including the Amazon Rainforest, the Andes Mountains, and the Galápagos Islands. Climate ranges from temperate to tropical, depending on location and time of year.
With its wealth of natural resources, including minerals, metals, lumber and oil, Ecuador has been a highly coveted colony since at least the mid-16th century.
Like many parts of the world, Ecuador is urgently wrestling with the economic and political pressures of resource extraction, as well as the unjust social structures that grew out of colonialism.
The various human communities of Ecuador are engaging with new ideas for organizing their society, innovating models all of us can learn from as we work for a just, thriving, and sustainable future.
Travel the Avenue of the Volcanoes
For the indigenous peoples whose territories fall within Ecuador's borders, innovating new social and political models must include respect and recognition for indigenous communities, ancestral lands, and ways of life.After a night in one of Quito's historic hotels, we'll spend a few days as guests in family homes at a community-based project in the Otavalan highlands focused on revitalizing the indigenous Caranqui Quichua culture.
We'll then take leave of our hosts and embark on a beautiful drive descending the Andes through the Avenue of the Volcanoes, stopping at the Equator – the middle of the world – and completing with a beautiful stretch of mysterious cloud forest. There, at the gateway of the vast Amazon rainforest, we'll stay the night in the town of Puyo at Hosteria El Jardín and prepare to enter the rainforest and Achuar territory.
Explore Achuar Territory
The Achuar people are among the least impacted indigenous people in South America by outside influences, and the contact they do have with the external world is by their own request.
Achuar lands have no roads and are therefore inaccessible to any form of overland travel. We will fly by small plane southeast into the Amazon Basin, deep into Achuar territory.
Depending on the itinerary of your specific Journey, you will stay at one or both of two lodges:
The acclaimed Kapawi Eco-Lodge, which has grown along with the Pachamama Journeys program.The newer, community-based Ti'inkias lodge, which provides a more rustic and direct experience of the rainforest and its people. These lodges are an important source of income for the Achuar, representing a sustainable alternative to oil development. Built, owned, and operated by the Achuar, both accommodations are situated within the nearly two million acres of Achuar ancestral territory. This pristine tropical rainforest is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the world, home to plants, trees, insects, birds, monkeys, and the legendary pink river dolphins. During your stay, you will experience the fullness and richness of Achuar culture and the living rainforest at its heart.
Forge New RelationshipsAn extended team of people supports every Journey. Leaders are trained to facilitate the different facets of the journey and the team includes local guides who are well versed in the ecological, geographical, and cultural diversity of the region. They all have longstanding relationships with Pachamama and the local people we will visit, based on trust, integrity and mutual respect.
Perhaps most importantly, your fellow travelers will be sources of support, insight, and camaraderie. Many Pachamama Journey participants – even those who have never been drawn to group travel - cite the relationships forged with their group as one of the most precious and lasting effects of the journey.

| SAMHSA News
Educating people about safe disposal of prescription medicines, especially painkillers and sleep aids, is the focus of a new SAMHSA pilot program.
Prescription drug misuse is a growing problem. To help, SAMHSA is providing point-of-sale information sheets at more than 6,000 pharmacy counters across the Nation.
The pilot program is intended to combat the increasing abuse of prescription drugs-particularly among teens and young adults.
These information sheets highlight the need for preventing abuse of these medications and provide practical advice on how to store medication properly and dispose of unused amounts.
One in five teens reports intentionally misusing someone else's prescription drugs to get high. Nearly half say they get the medications from friends and relatives for free.
Prevent Prescription Drug Abuse.
For more information, visit www.samhsa.gov/rxsafety. Call 1-877- SAMHSA-7 (726-4727), or talk to your pharmacist.
"This program is so important because most prescription drug abusers get these drugs through a friend or relative," said SAMHSA Administrator Terry L. Cline, Ph.D.
In fact, 55.7 percent of people age 12 and older who used pain relievers nonmedically in the past year reported that they obtained the drugs from a friend or relative for free during the most recent time of use, according to recently released results from SAMHSA's 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
Although levels of illicit drug abuse among youth had declined in many areas over the past few years, the survey found that prescription drug abuse has grown significantly. The level of nonmedical use of prescription drugs among young adults increased from 5.4 percent in 2002 to 6.4 percent in 2006, due largely to an increase in the nonmedical use of pain relievers.
Because a high percentage of teens and young adults report that they have access to prescription drugs in family medicine cabinets, SAMHSA is focusing on teaching people how to reduce and eliminate this access.
To help educate parents and other members of the public, SAMHSA is disseminating point-of-sale information to consumers who purchase highly abused prescription drugs such as hydrocodone, select sleep aids, and oxycodone (OxyContin®).
Using new technology that automatically selects the appropriate information sheet for the medication being purchased, consumers will receive one of three information sheets on abuse prevention when they fill prescriptions for one of these drugs at pharmacies participating in the program.
An alarming number of teens and young adults are misusing prescription medications to get high. More than 60% say prescription drugs are easy to get from the family medicine cabinet.
Store your prescription drugs in a safe, secure place and count your pills regularly.
Additional information on this program can be found on the SAMHSA Web site at www.samhsa.gov/rxsafety. For additional information, studies, data, and reports on prescription drug abuse, including data from the Agency's Drug Abuse Warning Network, visit SAMHSA's Web site at www.oas.samhsa.gov/prescription.htm.
SAMHSA's information sheets on substance abuse prevention address the following themes:

Did the Israeli military defy PM Netanyahu?
A sensational story is rocking Israel this week – alleging that the Israeli military defied orders from its commander in chief, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Leading Israeli journalist Ilana Dayan is reporting that Netanyahu ordered his military to prepare for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities nearly two years ago. Dayan's story documents that both the army chief and the head of Mossad (Israeli intelligence) refused to comply with Netanyahu's order.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour Thursday, Dayan said the information came from officials who were in the room with Netanyahu when the conversations took place, during a meeting of Israeli ministers.

Re: Did the Israeli military defy PM Netanyahu?
Netanyahu ordered his military to prepare for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities nearly two years ago.
The Israeli military is always preparing to attack Iran. The Jews are always conducting drills and war games. Did Netanyahu give the order to actually attack? No. No media outlet says that. So why does CNN think this is news?
This is more bullshit to make the Jewish and American masses submit to increased economic austerity. "Sorry, but we can't create any jobs. We have a crisis with Iran."

Stress-Free Turkey Day Tips From Giada
Target Home
Cut the chaos this Thanksgiving with a little careful planning and preparation. We're turning to Target's celebrity chef partner and kitchen virtuoso Giada DeLaurentiis for some practical tips on Turkey day timing.
Just a dash of strategy can make Thanksgiving dinner a stress-free success. Giada's guide for a calm, cool, and delicious turkey day is a great plan for anyone hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner.
4-6 hours before:
- Stuff the turkey and get it in the oven (Leave room for sides)
- Prepare and refrigerate any last-minute sides you were unable to prepare ahead of time
- Chill beverages (use a cooler with ice to free up the fridge)
- Set the table
2 hours before:
- Make mashed potatoes
- Prepare and arrange appetizers and condiments
- Set out serving dishes and utensils
- Make sure the dishwasher is empty
1 hour before:
- Cook or reheat sides
- Set up a beverage station (don't forget ice water)
- Wash, dry, and put away any dishes in the sink
1/2 hour before:
- Remove the turkey from the oven 30 minutes before carving
- Make the gravy, dress the salad, warm the rolls
- Turn oven off and put pre-baked pies in to warm
- Light candles
- Start the coffee just as you sit down to dinner
Handy kitchen gadgets can also be big T-day time-savers. The Kitchen Essentials® from Calphalon® Hard-Anodized Nonstick Roaster with Rack features a large rack for hefty birds, and its non-stick surface will be a life-saver when it's time to do the dishes.
A sturdy baster is a Thanksgiving essential. We like the Oxo Turkey Baster, which features an ergonomically-designed bulb and comes with a brush for thorough cleaning.
Thanksgiving is also a good time to replace worn kitchenware and re-invest in sturdy basics, like the Giada De Laurentiis™ for Target® 10-pc. Stainless Steel Cookset. It's a steal at $119.99. For roasting veggies, we like using a deep ceramic dish that's pretty enough to bring to the table, like Giada's Ceramic Lasagna Pan. Of course, it's perfect for lasagna too!
For more Thanksgiving kitchen essentials, shop in-store or visit Target.com and check out the Target Holiday Home Catalog for more inspiration and ideas for a very happy holiday season.

A sturdy baster is NOT essential. Basting your turkey is a waste of effort. And it results in a drier turkey that takes longer to roast.
Think about it! Think about the turkey skin you've seen and eaten. It's almost impermeable. It does not let juices and fats in once it dries in the oven and begins to cook. So when you baste, all you're doing is drying the turkey out by cooling the oven down and making the turkey take longer to cook.
For a juicy bird, start with a quality turkey, thaw it correctly, roast it breast-down and don't over-cook it.
That's the secret, my friends. Truly!
And brine, people. It is the magical step to a perfect turkey. Air-dry the turkey the night before you bake it too, that makes the skin SUPER crispy!
The last two turkey basters we had both cracked... one due to sucking up the hot turkey juice (what the heck?) and the other due to 3 minutes with my toddler... thinking there's no point in replacing it.
Salting is now preferred to brining. Meat is still juicy but results in crispy skin too. http://www.americastestkitchenfeed.com/cooking-science/2012/11/we-prove-it-salt-makes-meat-juicy-and-skin-crisp/
I've never understood why cooking a basic meal like a roast turkey and a few sides could be considered as 'stressful'.

GREAT COMMUTER VEHICLE by Haihai from Miami on 06/16/2003. Trim: 2000 Suzuki Esteem GL, Owned 3 years.
Pros: If you are looking for a commuter car that has excellent mileage and give excellent performance then the Suzuki Esteem is the care for you. Regular maintenace and the car will take you every where without a problem. The Esteem would run circles around the Civic and Tercel when it comes to long term performance
Cons: The only thing wrong with the car is that it does not provide a resale value, because it is not as popular as the Civic or the Tercel.
Overall review: This is an excellent car for students who needs a vehicle within their budget.

Words every cyclist lives by…
Words of wisdom.
Before there was Marianne Vos…
The Basis for Transportation Equity: A Pressing Civil Rights Issue
$9,498: average annual cost of owning a car.
33 percent: portion of low-income African Americans without access to automobiles.
25 percent: portion of low-income Latinos without automobile access.
12.1 percent: portion of low-income Whites without automobile access.
80 percent: portion of federal transportation funding dedicated to highways.
"The cost of car ownership, underinvestment in public transportation, and a pancity of pedestrian and bicycle-accessible thoroughfares have isolated urban and low-income people from jobs and services…forces them to limit spending for other basic needs, including out-of-pocket health care expenses."
"If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don't like. Kill narcissus. I had an old self that I killed. You can kill yourself too, but that doesn't mean you got to stop living.

Herzing Testimonial
Success Story
I liked the flexibility of classes and was able to attend night and online classes while working a full-time day job.
Employers want MBA grads
Employers want managers they can trust to make informed decisions about their department, taking into consideration how these decisions will impact all other areas of the company.
Dependability and leadership
The executive management team is busy tackling inter-departmental and big picture issues, and they need to know that department heads are able to act in the best interest of the organization and lead their department effectively–without being closely supervised. Therefore, employers seek managers who are:
- strong leaders
- critical thinkers
- problem solvers
- and knowledgeable in their sector (such as healthcare, IT, marketing, human resources or accounting).
Executives also want managers who are able to see the organization as a whole, and how their department works with all others to provide a valuable product or service to consumers.
Practical knowledge
Work experience is certainly valued by employers; it reflects that the manager has practical knowledge of the field. Industry credentials (when available) validate the manager's knowledge, and professional organization membership demonstrates a commitment to the industry and awareness of current trends.
A formal education is what binds the manager's experience and professional affiliations together. It is through earning a post-graduate degree that a professional achieves the level of critical thinking required to combine their academic knowledge, past experience and industry networks/resources in order to apply them to the situation at hand.
Once this critical-thinking process and application takes place, an MBA degree program specifically teaches the professional how the solution to one situation will affect the other operations of the business. With the addition of a management specialty, the employer recognizes the professional is not only an expert in the topic, but also has the propensity to lead, manage and motivate other employees in the organization. This additional skill set is highly desirable because it allows executives to delegate greater responsibility to that individual, further allowing the executive to focus on the most imperative and broad-spectrum concerns.
The information below reflects aggregated data from all of the Herzing University campuses that have students enrolled in the specified program in the specified time period. The information does not reflect data regarding individual campuses unless only one campus had students to report. The reporting period used to obtain this data was 7/1/2012-6/30/2013. If there were less than 10 graduates in a program, median loan debt and on-time completion data were not disclosed for that program to protect the privacy of those students. Tuition and length may vary by campus location. Ranges could not be input for tuition and length, therefore tuition and length reported are the highest tuition rates and longest program length to encompass all campuses.

Perfect vacation home
We stayed here with a group of 8 (3 couples, 2 individuals), and the house was perfect. The kitchen had every utensil, pot, pan, etc you would need to make large meals for everyone. There are 3.5 bathrooms, which was a nice bonus we found out when we got there. 2 full baths attached to main rooms, and a 3rd full in the main upstairs area. The half is part of the laundry room. The dock and outside area is fantastic. There is a large, flat yard and tons of dock space for anything you want to do. We used the kayaks, paddle board, and rented a boat part of the time. The water around the area is about 4 ft deep and inside a large cove area so it's very calm. We had no need to find out if the lift in the boat house worked. There really isn't a downside I can speak to, and we plan to rent the house again.
Great view, great location
The house was clean and spread out between main level and downstairs for eleven of us (four kids) to spread out and be comfortable. No house number, but we found the address on the trash can. We arrived before trash pickup so it was brimming and we added to it. Only negative is that there was one shower and it was downstairs. Regret: that we will stay longer next time. We had a great time and thank Jenna for the emails and information. We felt like we were treated as friends or at least important guests.
Highly recommended: great property in a beautiful location.
This property provided a spectacular location for our family reunion and vacation on Flathead Lake. It provided plenty of space and you can't beat its location and excellent lake access with the private dock. The property is clean, well maintained, and stocked with all the essentials a large family needs - linens, dishes, utensils, etc. The owners work hard to ensure their clients get the best value and experience and they are extremely easy to work with. I highly recommend this property.

New London — An engineering and environmental analysis of the proposed bridge that would carry pedestrians across Water Street to the planned National Coast Guard Museum has concluded that the best location for the structure would be from Parade Plaza to the current site of the Greyhound bus terminal.
If that location were chosen, the bus terminal would be moved across Water Street to a vacant lot in front of the city-owned Water Street Parking Garage, the report states. The 178-page report, done by Milone & MacBroom for the state Department of Economic and Community Development, considered four other locations for the bridge as well as a tunnel but found significant drawbacks to those alternatives. The state has committed $20 million toward the planning, design and construction of the bridge, which is considered a critical component of the Coast Guard museum.
Tammy Daugherty, director of the city's Office of Planning and Development, noted that the conclusions of the report will not necessarily be followed by the architects who will ultimately design and build the museum and bridge. A ceremonial groundbreaking for the museum took place this spring, but construction has not yet begun.
The nonprofit National Coast Guard Museum Association has begun a fundraising campaign, and federal funds are also being sought. The total cost of the museum, which could open by 2017, is estimated at $80 million.
The report, called an Environmental Impact Evaluation, was required under the state Environmental Policy Act. The act requires that projects that receive state funding be evaluated to determine the impact on physical, biological, social and environmental resources.
Public comment on the report will be received through Monday.
Daugherty said a public hearing on the report on Aug. 7 drew about a dozen people. Concerns about impacts of the bridge on historic structures, aesthetics of the downtown and traffic were expressed, she said. The city will be submitting written comments addressing issues about shared ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the bridge between the city, the museum, Cross Sound Ferry and other stakeholders, she said. It will be up to the project architects to determine how best to meet to the various challenges raised in the report and the public comments, she said.
Twitter: @bensonjudy
The report can be found in the New London city clerk's office and also at www.ct.gov/ceq/lib/ceq/NCGM_EIE.pdf.
Comments on the report should be sent by Aug. 25 to: Nelson Tereso, Department of Economic and Community Development, 505 Hudson St., Hartford, CT 06106, or via email to email@example.com.
For more information about the document, contact Mark Hood at the DECD at (860) 270-8089 or at email@example.com.

Resolve to meditate, Meditate to resolve!
You grapple with a problem, and try as hard as you can, you just can't seem to find a solution. Out of sheer frustration, you let it go.
The next day you're in the shower, and the answer hits you, like a bolt of lightening. You have your "ah-ha" moment, and you wonder where that answer came from and why you didn't think of it before.
Sounds familiar?
While our conscious mind is great at logical, analytical and critical thinking, it isn't so great at creative thinking. That creative answer/solution that seemed to come out of left field, actually came from the deep recesses of your "other than conscious mind."
When you're in a warm shower, you're (usually) relaxed and calm, and your brain shifts into the "alpha" state, where your imagination, visualization and access to memory is heightened.
More importantly, it opens the gates to the subconscious mind, that incredible reservoir of data ("big data" has nothing on it, BTW) and ideas, gates that are otherwise controlled by the conscious mind.
A meditative practice (besides a hot shower) can really help get your conscious mind out of the way. The term "meditation" might sound very new-agey and likely conjures up images of a monk clad in saffron, sitting cross legged, but it really is much simpler than that, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Sit still in a comfortable chair for 15 minutes (or longer, if you prefer), focus on your breath as you relax and observe your thoughts without judgement. When you're done, write down your thoughts, right away in a journal.
If you're not doing it already, I highly recommend that you resolve to meditate in 2013. You'll be amazed at what you'll find, as you plumb the depths of your subconscious mind. It might sound a little far fetched, but I know from experience, that our answers lie within. All we need to do is ask :)
When I'm done taking this photo of yours Mr. Wayne… then you have my permission to die!
Cappelli e Sciarpe
alking down one of the streets of Rome, Italy, I noticed this cart that sold, among other things, a collection of hats and colorful scarves.
Seeing a photo op, I positioned myself to compose this shot, when the vendor walked and wondered why I thought his cart and wares were photo worthy.
I didn't have to explain it, because after all a picture is worth a thousand words, right? When I showed him what I saw, with a wide, all knowing grin, he said "Aaaah… Molto buona!"
Well Spoken!

Ex-boxing champ Hector 'Macho' Camacho shot, in critical condition
Bayamon, Puerto Rico (4E Sports) – Former three-division world champion Hector "Macho" Camacho has been listed in critical condition after being shot in the jaw Tuesday night.
According to Bayamon police, Camacho was riding as a passenger in a car when it was fired upon. The driver of the car died while Camacho was hit in the left jaw and the bullet traveled down his neck and lodged in his right shoulder.
The bullet also fractured Camacho's 5th and 6th cervical vertebrae and the champion needed a transfusion after losing so much blood.
Doctors never mentioned paralysis but they could not determine whether Camacho had been struck by a second bullet.
A report by newspaper Primera Hora said Bayamon Police are investigating the incident and have one suspect in custody.
A Bayamon, Puerto Rico native, Camacho won his first world title when he defeated Rafael "Bazooka" Limon for the vacant lightweight title in Puerto Rico.
After dropping Limon in the first and third rounds, Camacho captured the title via technical knockout victory in the fifth.
Camacho made his name when he fought Julio Cesar Chavez in Las Vegas in 1992. Both men were undefeated champions and came into the ring with a combined record of 81-0.
During that fight, Camacho failed to engage Chavez and his continuous retreating helped the latter score a unanimous decision.
Camacho sent Sugar Ray Leonard into retirement when he knocked him out in the fifth round in 1997.
However, that was the last accolade that Camacho would earn in the ring, and he has had several run-ins with the law.
