Half way there
I forgot my computer in the cape yesterday so while I'm waiting to go buy a new one at apple… for a…
4th of July on Cape Cod
Since my 4th of July was not exactly a typical "Sarah Fit" lifestyle long weekend, I've opted to…
If you are a regular Sarah Fit reader, then you already know that I recently made it official by forming Sarah Fit, LLC. While it's perfectly fine to operate your business as a sole proprietor, I chose to make it official. This is an exciting time for me and I would not be here if it were not for all of you my readers. However as I sit here to write this post today, I'm wondering to myself, "Why exactly did I form a company?"
I'm sharing my story since I know many of you also have your own blogs and may have thought about forming a company, so I hope this post helps you decide what your next (if any) step should be.
I wanted to form a company because I thought it would help reduce the amount of taxes I was paying. I also thought it would help my business appear more official on paper. Most importantly, I knew that forming a company would provide myself protection. But later my CPA (tax adviser) asked, "What are you protecting?" I'll talk about that shortly.
I decided to form my company through BizFilings.com. I was finally contacted by a personal incorporation specialist about 2 weeks after first reaching out given it was the end of summer, employees on vacation and a busy schedule on my end. When April, the specialist called, she first asked me first what type of company I wanted to form. To be honest, I thought we were going to talk about which ones were best. She directed me to BizFilings.com for more information on the difference between entities. My options were between Liability Company (LLC) or and Incorporation. I decided to call April back so that I could do some research on my own. If I were to have gone to a lawyer, they would have walked me through my options. It would have been more expensive but if you are DIY-type person, a lawyer may not be necessary. Next she asked what I wanted my name to be. I chose Sarah Fit, LLC.
I called April back and she asked me where I wanted to incorporate my company. Since I went to the University of Delaware, I'm aware many people incorporate there since it is inexpensive. I argued that since most of my business is operated throughout the US, I didn't think it was mandatory I file in Massachusetts. April said that most people do file in their own state, because even if I incorporate in Delaware, I will still have to file taxes in MA and pay their $500 filing fee. Yes, Massachusetts has one of the highest fees! I immediately was overwhelmed, and again, had to call April back. If you live in Nevada or Delaware, you are lucky! You have small business friendly states.
This is when I wish I had actually spoken to a lawyer or CPA. April again, directed me back to the website of BizFilings.com for more details but didn't offer much advice except for the fact that most people she had worked with usually filed in the state where they lived.
I called April back after researching online for a few days and chose to form my company in Massachusetts. The rest was pretty easy. April was quick to get back to me but I wish I had done more research before my talks with her began. Everything was done swiftly, took little time on my end, besides the research, and Sarah Fit, LLC was born!
About a week later, I met with a CPA to get my taxes organized as a freelancer. She told me that she has clients who make millions and never incorporate. She was surprised that I had done so. I told her that basically, I formed my own company to cover my butt and hope to increase revenue. People who form companies have protection over their personal assets, they are not personally liable. If you were to breach a contract, you could be sued for your assets. If you had a company, the company would be sued but your personal assets would go untouched. Since I am not a home owner nor do I own any expensive cars or large investments currently, I don't really have any assets and therefore having protection over something I do have is not exactly necessary.
So I have a company. I have a government issued tax id to use as well, instead of just my social security number. I have not formally started my company yet but have the paperwork to prove it. In March, I'll have to pay MA $500 to file my earnings report even though I will not have started it yet. That sucks to think about.
To conclude this post, as a blogger you can operate as a sole proprietor forever. Just get a good accountant to help with taxes.
Why incorporate? If you have a business partner, you want to hire employees, you own a home and other pricey assets, maybe you have kids to provide for… there are many good reasons! I enjoyed my experience with BizFilings.com and if you know what you want, they are a great company to use. If you are not sure what you want or need, you may want to seek the advice of a lawyer and accountant. I am giving professional advice but wanted to share my experience so you do not have to waste your money creating a company that you do not necessarily need to form.
Question For My Readers: Did you formally incorporate your business as a blogger? Are you happy you did and did you file in the state you live in?
Service provided by BizFilings.com were complimentary in return for an honest review, which I think I gave above.
Last night during a few tornado warnings in southern New England, I hopped on the amtrak and came down to NYC for a video shoot.
I grabbed a late dinner from a delicious restaurant called Calista Superfoods. I got a delicious and large salmon filet with a mango dijon sauce. Whoever decided to make a sauce for fish out of dijon mustard and mango is a genius and I need this recipe. It tasted amazing. It came with two sides and brown rice. I chose the spinach with zucchini puree and roasted vegetables. The salmon was the star in this dish. The menu also featured the nutrition info, which I loved and rarely see up in Boston.
I was going to meet Rich from Dick's Cottons out at the bars to watch the Bruins but since I got in so late, I decided to stay put at the hotel. This morning I got up early for my Tone It Up "Booty Call". Exercise reduces bloating so I made sure I got up and went for a walk. Normally I would have gone running but for the shoot I just brought my cross trainers. I snapped this picture while crossing the street.
Sometimes, I think I could live in this big city. Other times, I feel like I would be lost. I do love Boston, but NYC has many more opportunities job wise. Maybe one day…
I'm at the video shoot now. Going up the elevator I asked the man getting out on the same floor as me if he was there for the fitness shoot.
"I'm here for the Beyonce shoot, not Beyonce but her company," he replied.
Pshhh. So sorry for asking. There are model-esque girls with big hair, and loud music next door. I'm going to keep me eyes out for Beyonce, just in case.

Not to offend any readers with the name Britney, but is it me or does the fact this girl was 99% likely named after Britney Spears make the mother seem like she doesn't think things through entirely?

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A report just released to WINK News gives a chilling details surrounding the death of a Fort Myers child. Police say Brianna Addison, 2 died last week at the hands of her mother's boyfriend.
Police arrested Derric Johnson, 31 on homicide and aggravated child abuse charges. Addison and two other children were left in Johnson's care for more than 10 hours while their mother Shawna Hall worked the night shift.
According to the police report, Addison had fresh bruises and bumps on her head, torso, arms, and legs, as well as a welt on her cheek that matched a small belt found in the Horizons apartment unit where the crime allegedly took place.
The toddler's sibling told investigators Johnson "gave Brianna a 'whooping' in the living room because she was bad with a belt and a shoe."
The child went on to say, "Brianna was crying and he was hitting her with a belt. He stopped hitting her when she was good," according to the report.
The police report indicates Johnson never called 911, and instead called Hall. The report also describes a text message Johnson sent the day of the crime typing, "I'm tryna throw her n the air. She was cryn like somebody killn her."
The medical examiner's office ruled the child's death a homicide, saying Addison suffered multiple blunt impacts to the head.
During questioning, police say Johnson was inconsistent, saying "[Johnson] then changed his story and admitted to tossing her in the air three to four times and her falling and hitting her head on something hard on the couch in the living room. He denied she ever fell on the floor."
Johnson has been charged 40 times for a variety of offenses in Lee County. The Department of Children and Families has investigated Shawna Hall twice before, but Johnson, who has 12 kids of his own, was never part of those investigations.
Johnson is being held in the Lee County jail without bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 4th.

BreakPoint Blog
At last . . .
Topics: Books, Politics & Government
DARN! I missed a grammatical error by Milord Lee. *pouty face*
(hmm, I bet pouty faces aren't very ladylike)
"... ladies ... give genteel voice to absolutely justifiable discontent."
quoth Milord Lee.
I was going to make a comparison between the above statement and the Women's Movement. But on further ponderance, perhaps women and ladies differ in their behavior. Sir Taylor, what sayest thou?
My goodness -- lots of red underlines: "Milord", "pouty", "ponderance" and "sayest" all get red underlines. Doesn't BreakPoint's -- hey, another red underline! -- spellchecker recognize archaic and slang English?
(Hmm, trying again with my comment.)
I see I should clarify my thought: ladies certainly do not whine; rather, they give genteel voice to absolutely justifiable discontent. ;-)
And, Milady, I'm preparing my review with all due haste but also all due thoroughness. Our most beloved Anne certainly deserves both.
And I see I used the contraction "it's" instead of the possessive "its" in my prior comment. May I be buried alive in an avalanche of Strunk&White hardbound editions.
And implying that Ellen whines? Egad, Lee!! I hereby sentence myself to multiple readings of Orwell's "Politics and the English Language", with particular attention to the quote "the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts". http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htm
If I were worthy to wield the YOD, I'd whack myself with it.
Was I whining? ={ I did not mean to do so...
Congratulations, Anne, on the publication of this book. I'll have to wait till I get more dollars in my book buying fund and finish a few books on my current list before I download it. I'll leave it to Lee to be the first to review it here and on Amazon :p
OK, apparently I've downloaded this book before Ellen has, which should allow me to spike any whining (from me or anyone else) about the depth of our reading lists. Kinda insensitive to do that in front of an **author**. (Sorry, Gina - you have a book out, too.)
Congratulations, Anne!! Encore! :-)
But I see that Amazon continues it's deft :-/ handling of co-authors. Hmpf.
Oh, and I get your "rough neighborhood" joke, but I find it hard to believe you've never heard the Beltway described in the terms found in the first paragraph here:
I hope this new title does fantastically well, and I can hardly wait to open it!

The secret is out, and a group of women, mostly in their 90s now, have gone from unknown to wildly popular.
They are the "WASPs": Women Air Force Service Pilots of World War II.
Back in the early 40s, the government started their unit as an experiment to see if women could learn to fly. They ended up flying every type of aircraft men did.
"We were given the same training as the male cadets," explained WASP Nell Bright. "Except we finished our program in six months and it usually took the guys nine months."
They flew every kind of mission the guys did, but not in combat.
Two and a half years into the program, though, Congress voted against making the WASPS part of the military. The program was scrapped, and the records documenting their existence were sealed.
Their history faded, and pretty much completely disappeared.
Until the late 70s when the air force announced it was training the first females pilots.
That's when the WASPS stepped forward, and were finally recognized. Now they are mostly in their 90s.
About two dozen are at Sun 'n Fun this weekend, where they are commemorating their 70th anniversary. They are surrounded by younger people asking for their autograph, or to have a picture taken with them.
A far cry from the sealed documents and secrecy of decades ago.
"We always said we were the best kept secret of World War II."
Read more about the WASPs here: http://www.sun-n-fun.org/FlyIn/specialfly-inactivities/WASP70thAnniversary.aspx

Winner of 3 Oscars: Best Actor (Matthew McConaughey), Best Supporting Actor (Jared Leto) and Best Makeup and Hairstyling!
Winner! Best Actor (Matthew McConaughey) and Best Supporting Actor (Jared Leto), 2014 Golden Globe Awards!
"McConaughey's flirty drawl and rowdy energy have never been put to better dramatic use than they are in Dallas Buyers Club." – Bob Mondello, NPR
"Dallas Buyers Club is a rough, raw, ragged and exhilarating ride." – Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
"Thanks to the superb screenplay by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack and the brilliant, brave performances by the cast, Dallas Buyers Club gets just about everything right." - Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
Matthew McConaughey stars in Dallas Buyers Club as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the US was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts — who he once would have shunned — and established a hugely successful "buyers club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience. Also starring Jennifer Garner and Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (The Young Victoria). (Dir. by Jean-Marc Vallee, 2013, 117 mins., Rated R, Focus Features) Digital

Mountains are landforms that are raised steeply, forming peaks, above the surrounding terrain. Mountains are much steeper and higher than hills. Most mountains are formed by movements in the earth's crust. The height of a mountain is usually measured in meters above the sea-level. Mountains cover nearly one-quarter of Earth's land mass, and are source of most of the world's rivers.

Your Prayers are Needed
Hi all and thanks for reading!
I hope you had a great Christmas or Holiday if you don't celebrate it. Well mine was quite rough. My father is in a hospital's ICU as I write this, so it's been very hard on me and my family. The real reason for this e-mail is to humbly ask youto keep him in your prayers, his name is Antonio Jose Gutierrez.
That's one of the reasons I've been rather silent these days. I really loved this time of the year because it's when I can actually relax and write more, but right now it's next to impossible.
However, there's one promotion going on this year that I'd really hate to see you miss, it's like the step beyond last year's 117 ChristmasGifts.com from Henry Gold, called TheSuperGifts. As last year, you can get a lot of F.R.E.E. products. Here's the link in case you wanto to visit:
I hope you can spare a couple of minutes fora little prayer for my father, right now he has an infection in his lungs that is delaying hischance for getting better.
Thank you very much and God bless!
Best regards,
Antonio Gutierrez

November 09, 2010, 9:24 PM — Charging that Oracle has willfully disregarded the licensing terms for its own Java technology, the Apache Software Foundation has called upon other members of the Java Community Process (JCP) to vote against the next proposed version of the language, should Oracle continue to impose restrictions on open-source Java use.
The nonprofit organization has also indicated that it could end its involvement in the JCP if the licensing restrictions stay in place.
"Why would we want to be in an organization where the rules of law don't matter? Our being on the [JCP Executive Committee] would be a sham. It would show that the community doesn't matter, that we'd basically cave into Oracle pushing stuff through, whether or not it would be in the best interest of the community," said Jim Jagielski, president and cofounder of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), in an interview with the IDG News Service.
This is not a new battle for the ASF, and for the JCP as a whole. It has been such a contentious issue, in fact, that it has long delayed the voting process of the next version of the Java standard, Java 7. But the battle lines have recently been redrawn and the discussion over the JCP itself has reached a fevered pitch.
In October, the ASF was ratified for another three-year term on the JCP Executive Committee (EC), by an overwhelming 95 percent margin. Now, the ASF is hoping to use this influence to get Oracle to relinquish the Field-of-Use (FOU) restrictions that the Java trademark's former owner, Sun Microsystems, placed on the technology. Oracle purchased Sun in January.
It was a victory in an otherwise dire month for the ASF. At that time, IBM announced that it was shifting developer support from Apache's own open-source version of the Java Standard Edition, called Project Harmony, to another open-source project, the OpenJDK.
IBM was one of the staunchest supporters of Apache's position on the FOU, and its move to the OpenJDK at least suggests that the company would support Oracle in an upcoming vote on Java 7, Jagielski speculated.
If so, Big Blue would be joining a number of other organizations willing to let Oracle have its way, for the good of the language as a whole, including Red Hat and the Eclipse Foundation.
The battle revolves around whether restrictions should be placed on how open-source versions of Java are used.

Thanksgiving in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
A link to the biography of Edward Winslow to celebrate Thankgsiving.
A link to the biography of Edward Winslow to celebrate Thankgsiving.
History from the DNB for Ryder Cup weekend.
The publication of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography in September 2004 was a milestone in the history of scholarship, not least for crossing from print to digital publication. Prior to this moment a small army of biographers, myself among them, had worked almost entirely from paper sources, including the stately volumes of the first, Victorian 'DNB' and its 20th-century print supplement volumes. But the Oxford DNB of 2004 was conceived from the outset as a database and published online as web pages, not paper pages reproduced in facsimile.
By Lizzie Shannon-Little and Martin Maw
The very settled life of Oxford University Press was turned upside down at the outbreak of the First World War; 356 of the approximately 700 men that worked for the Press were conscribed, the majority in the first few months. The reduction of half of the workforce and the ever-present uncertainty of the return of friends and colleagues must have made the Press a very difficult place to work.
Leonardo da Vinci was the illegitimate son of the Florentine notary Ser Piero da Vinci, who married Albiera di Giovanni Amadori, the daughter of a patrician family, in the year Leonardo was born. Little is known about the artist's natural mother, Caterina, other than that five years after Leonardo's birth she married an artisan from Vinci named Chartabriga di Piero del Veccha.
By Philip Carter
Way back in 2007, when Twittering truly was for the birds, a far-sighted editor at the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography piped up: maybe people would like to listen as well as read? So was devised the Oxford DNB's biography podcast which this week released its 200th episode—the waggerly tale of Charles Cruft (1852-1938), founder of the eponymous dog show held annually in early March.

Many questioned how the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games Opening Ceremony was going to make a mark after the spectacular Beijing Olympics only four years earlier. While Beijing presented the Chinese people moving as one body — dancing, marching, and presenting a united front to the world — the British answer was a chaotic and spirited ceremony, shifting from cricket matches to coordinated dance routines, Mr Bean's comedic dream to a 100-foot Lord Voldemort.
In April 2012, the American National Biography gladly received a new general editor: Susan Ware. Mark Carnes welcomed his successor, saying, "A superb choice! Susan Ware is an outstanding biographer, a proven editor, and a wonderful person. She will thrive in a job whose importance does not preclude it from being great fun." We're excited to have Susan leading the ANB and she's offered a sneak peak of her plans for improving and extending this fantastic resource.

Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) as a Tool for Innovation
ICTs and university development are extensive fields, and it is not possible to address all aspects in this paper but only what has been found to be of greatest current importance. When applying ICT to university development, it has been found that the most important challenges that institutions are currently facing are the responsibilities that have been transferred to them through recent decentralization. In this paper this aspect will thus be deliberately focused upon along with the ICTs that are of most relevant to these institutions meeting their new responsibilities.

Fair Isle-Style Steeking:The Quick and Dirty Tutorial
In the last few weeks, I have received more than a dozen emails about steeking, the technique of cutting one's knitting. I always refer people to Eunny Jang's Steeking Chronicles, because they provide a wonderful overview of why and how knitted articles are cut. Eunny's tutorial covers how to plan for steeks and offers an overview of hand sewn steeks, crocheted steeks, and a bit about machine sewn steeks. I would encourage anyone interested in steeking to read the entire series because it is well worth the time.
However, for those who just want to know what they need to do to secure their knitting before a cut, I thought I would put together a really quick tutorial to cover the absolute basics of crocheted and machine-sewn steeking.
Why cut your knitting?
Why not? Would you rather purl back every other row? Or worse, purl back in a stranded color pattern? It's easier and faster to work in the round with the right side facing you the entire time. Although it sounds terrifying and difficult, cutting your knitting is shockingly easy to do. Really, it ought to be harder.
The key to success is to support the edges alongside the cut to ensure they do not unravel. This support can come in several forms: grippy, feltable wool stitch fibers holding themselves and each other in place, or feltable crochet chains, machine sewn lines, or hand sewn lines running down either side of the cut site. If the garment is made using multiple colors of non-superwash wool at a very fine gauge, it may not even be necessary to add extra support; the wool itself will provide enough, felting together at the steeks over time. Indeed, many traditional Fair Isle steeks were not supported with crochet or sewing at all.
This tutorial applies to Fair Isle-style steeking, in which extra stitches are cast on specifically for the steek. It should be noted that in Scandinavian-style steeking, the garment is worked in the round with no extra stitches; the cut is made directly into the garment pattern itself. Most steeks in contemporary patterns are done in the Fair Isle style. Given the choice, I would prefer to use crochet chains over a sewing machine any day. I am clumsy with a sewing machine and I do not trust myself not to make a dumb, difficult to reverse mistake. Experiment with both methods to determine what works best for you.
In the examples below, I will demonstrate the cut being made down the center of a column of stitches (as shown here, in Eunny's steeking tutorial), although it can certainly be done between two columns of stitches. For my swatch and waste yarn, I used multiple colors of Harrisville Designs New England Shetland. I knitted the swatch in stripes to make it easier for you to see exactly what I was doing. For a more detailed look at the pictures, click on any image to access higher resolution versions.
The Crocheted Steek
Advantages: It's fast, easy, and does not require sewing (or a sewing machine).
Disadvantages: I would say it is not as secure as a machine-sewn reinforcement; however, given the proper yarn choice, it will be strong enough.
Requirements: WOOL. Feltable animal fiber. Just say no to superwash wools, plant-based materials, and acrylics. This is not negotiable: the yarn must be able to felt and felt well. You will also need to have some feltable wool scrap yarn, a crochet hook several sizes smaller than the needles used for the garment, and be able to crochet a simple chain. Phenomenal crochet skills are not necessary: I learned to crochet only for this purpose, am barely able to produce more than a chain stitch, and have never had a steek fail because of my meager crochet skills.
1. ) With the garment upright, turn the work 90 degrees so that the bottom edge of the steek stitches is on the right. Identify one column of stitches as the steek column, the location of the cut. With a crochet hook, pick up the right half of the stitch to the left of the steek column stitch and the left half of the steek column stitch.
Since I casted my swatch with the white yarn, you will notice that the half stitches I picked up in this foundation row were both white. For every other row, the left one will be white and the right one will be blue, based on the striping of the swatch.
2.) With feltable scrap yarn, make a loop on the crochet hook and pull it through.
3.) Loop the yarn over the crochet hook once more.
4.) Pull through the first loop. There will be only one stitch on the hook.
5.) Here, you will see the beginning of a single crochet chain. Continuing up the stitch columns, pick up the right half of the left stitch (white) and the left half of the steek column stitch (blue).
6.) Loop the yarn over the crochet hook again and pull through. There will be two stitches on the hook.
7.) Loop the yarn over the crochet hook and pull through both stitches. There will be one stitch on the hook.
Continue in this manner following steps 5-7 until the last stitches at the top of the column have been worked. Break the yarn and thread it through the last remaining loop to secure the chain. The chain will look like this:
Now, turn the work 180 degrees.
Repeat steps 1-7 outlined above, picking up the right half of the steek column stitch (blue) and the left half of the right stitch (white).
Return the work to the upright position so that the chains run vertically down the steek stitch block.
Notice how the crocheted chains splay out to the sides. You will be cutting between the two chains, taking care not to snip ANY of the yarn used for the chain. Starting at the bottom of the work with small, sharp scissors, carefully cut up the middle of the steek column.

The Machine-Sewn Steek
Advantages: It's fast, provides a very sturdy reinforcement, and can be used with any kind of yarn.
Disadvantages: Running the knitted fabric through the sewing machine risks catching floats on the sewing machine plate and distorting the fabric a bit. A line of tiny stitches will also prove difficult (I would say impossible) to rip out if you make a mistake.
Requirements: A sewing machine (duh) and a small stitch setting. This can be done with fibers that do not felt as well as with those that do.
1) Identify one column of stitches as the steek column, the location of the cut (in my example, it is a blue column). You will be sewing straight lines down the center of the stitch columns on either side of the steek column (shown in white below). Take care not to catch any of the floats on the sewing machine plate and try not to pull the fabric through, as this will distort the edge.
2.) Beginning at the top of the work, lower the sewing machine needle into the center of the first stitch to the left of the steek column. Before you sew down the entire column, it is best to backstitch a little bit to ensure the stitching will not unravel. With a small stitch, sew a straight line down this column of stitches, backstitching again at the bottom.
Repeat this process with the column of stitches to the right of the steek column.
Starting at the bottom with small, sharp scissors, carefully cut up the middle of the steek column.
OK, I cut it, what now?
Now that you have a lovely, secured cut edge, you may be wondering what to do next. Chances are, the pattern will call for you to pick up stitches near the cut edge for button/buttonhole or armhole bands. Identify from where exactly (relative to the cut edge) those stitches will be picked up.
Here is an example of picking up stitches near a cut edge:
Once you pick up and knit these band stitches as directed, the stitches remaining closer to the cut edge will form a facing that can easily be tacked down to the inside of the garment. Here are some examples:
Now, go forth and cut away!
The Perfect Stashbuster
With an organic chemistry exam (they just keep coming) this evening, I've made lots of progress on my study sock and as soon as I weave in ends on Ann's socks, they'll be ready to send. Unfortunately, this is the only progress picture I have for you today.
I can't believe I'm crocheting. *sigh* I assure you hard core knitters that this crochet is a temporary break from the usual sock knitting! I have a few small baby knits in my queue so maybe I'll start those as soon as all of these gift socks are done!
Crochet: The Abyss
I'm shocked that it's been two weeks since my last blog post! I've been collecting little bits here and there but I haven't had any knitting content worth mentioning!
First up, you really must go check out this really cool free sock pattern. It's a great pattern on its own but the designer? Another Elinor. And she spells it correctly. Not like the manufacturer of Sarah's shoes, which are still cool because they're called 'Eleanor', but not as cool as if they'd been called 'Elinor'.
Speaking of shoes, check out what Johanna's been making! I'm definitely going to put in an order for a pair for Beatrix! Where does that mama find the time? I am thoroughly impressed!
For those of you interested in the Woolarina sock yarn I used for my Orchid socks, you should go see Jennie's current WIP with another colorway of Woolarina. She's struggling with the sock heel but the yarn is just beautiful!! I hope Woolarina puts up more yarn soon!
I'm afraid that I've been teetering on the abyss of crochet. (runs around in circles screaming) All thanks to Maryse and her stinkin' Soft Waves Ripple Afghan. You see, I have this huge "stash". I use the term tentatively because I'm referring to partial skeins and leftovers from other projects, which I know many of you refuse to call "stash" (denial must be nice…) Leftovers aside, my stash is tiny compared to some of the ones I've been seeing on Ravelry (I'm lookin' at you JulieFrick!). Nevertheless, I would love to use up my remnants and since I'm not likely to finish any knitted blanket, I thought I'd try to crochet one.
The first problem? I don't know how to crochet. Maryse gave me the rundown on exactly what crochet stitches I'd need to learn and blogless Camille from my knitting group got me started. I've already used up about 5 oz of Cotton Ease remnants making washcloths! I've been giving them away as I crochet them so you don't get any pictures of my wonky "squares".
The second problem? The pattern is from a book that my library doesn't have and I'm just not going to buy a book for ONE pattern. While there are 200 stitch patterns in this book, I thought I'd take my chances on Amazon to see if the book had an excerpt. It does and guess what? The excerpt includes the pattern I want! This just goes to show that you should ALWAYS 'Look Inside This Book'!
I'm planning to make the blanket baby sized and use up lots of Wool of the Andes, Cascade 220 and misc worsted weight wool. I might buy a few more WoTA skeins to balance the colors out but not until I get started! No need to add to stash for a stash buster, right?
Next up, I'm going to have to come clean with you about what I've done with my Grapefruit socks:
Let's just say that there will not be a sock giveaway, although I promise to hold another giveaway (with a good prize) in place of the socks. I am weak. Ann offered to trade me some Sea Wool for my socks and I took her up on it. Please don't hate me (didn't I tell you I was weak?) Besides, you know you would have done the same…
Because Ann is too cool for words, she also threw in some Lang Jawoll for fun! I'm hoping to finish up Ann's socks this week so I can liberate my size 1 circular so I can continue knitting this pair for my aunt. I can't remember the name of the pattern just now but it's a 4-stitch cable pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks.
Even so, I need some stockinette socks to knit while studying! Studying is the only way I'm getting in any knitting these days. This is my new study sock! It's Regia Cotton India. I'm knitting these for my mom who claims to be allergic to wool (I have my doubts about this but I'm compromising).
The knitting is really taking a back seat to organic chemistry and exercise!! I really must carve out some knitting (dare I say 'crochet' too?) time soon! I've been running 3 days a week with my friend's running program, playing soccer 2 days a week, taking exercise classes 3 days a week and getting up for Dog Days, a community exercise program 2 times a week. Since there aren't 10 days in a week, that means exercise twice a day most days of the week. It's been a lot of fun but it doesn't leave much room for knitting. Summer is for getting outside so don't expect prolific knitting in the next few months! I know you're all outside too!

PROFIT: 30 years celebrating Canadian small business
For 30 years, PROFIT has embraced its role in Canada's Entrepreneurial Revolution. Much has been done, but so much more could be achieved.
The winter of 1982 was a bleak time for Canadian entrepreneurs. It was the era of big business and even bigger government. The prime interest rate was 17%. A painful recession was in full effect and getting worse.
But in April of that year, a ray of light cracked through the dark clouds when the Financial Post division of Maclean Hunter Publishing launched The Magazine That's All About Small Business . As founding publisher Jim Warrillow explained in a note to readers: "...limitations of space and wider priorities mean that [the Financial Post ] could not, by itself, meet fully the unique and pressing information needs of the small-business community." Founding editor Don Rumball promised his team would "people our pages with small businessmen and women. We'll celebrate their successes, analyze their failures and expose their problems with a view to giving you some pointers on how to hitch a ride on their star." It was a publication about right here, right now, without a grand vision for the community it served or a mission to make entrepreneurship the undisputed engine of prosperity and a social good. The founders even avoided using the word "entrepreneur"; as Rumball explained a decade later, they weren't sure it would fly.
Canada's entrepreneurial sector has made great strides since 1982, and the people who've worked for the magazine now known as PROFIT like to think the magazine has played a substantial role. For the past 30 years, PROFIT has informed and inspired countless entrepreneurs through its reporting, analysis, awards and rankings. Former Dragons' Den star Robert Herjavec launched his first business with the goal of making our list of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies, now called the PROFIT 200. (He did.) Recently, we received a handwritten letter from Robert Allard, the 23-year-old CEO of a fraud-prevention consultancy who has a "dream of being at the top of PROFIT's HOT 50." His office is a cell at B.C.'s Prince George Regional Correctional Centre, where he is serving a one-year sentence for credit-card fraud. "I wonder if my criminal record and my age will get in the way," Allard writes. "Not if I have anything to do with it!"
We've always revered entrepreneurial ambition, endeavour and intelligence. Rumball assertively rejected early advice to "keep it simple, because entrepreneurs are so ignorant they won't know what you're talking about." It's hard to know whether to laugh or invent a time machine and travel back to throw a few punches.
Today, Canada boasts a vibrant startup scene. Entrepreneurship offerings speckle the course calendars of business schools. Dragons' Den doesn't only exist-it's a spinoff-spawning hit. But there remains much work to be done to make Canada the world's Entrepreneurial Nation.
Commerce is still stymied by red tape and bureaucratic inefficiency. Government could change tax policy and securities laws to unlock billions of dollars of investment capital. Mandatory high-school entrepreneurship courses would expose youth early on to the joy and power of the greatest job in the world.
We hope it doesn't take another 30 years to finish our collective mission. But no matter how the future unfolds, PROFIT will be there sounding the charge.

"Hurry up. The bar is about to close!" I read Ryan's text as my friend Sarah and I pick up our pace, only feet away from the entrance of the The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon. Ben Folds had invited us over to this fine establishment for some farewell drinks after the show. "Don't let Ben go! Oh, and grab us a couple drinks please!" I text back, intending to thank Ben in person one last time for the incredible privilege of touring with him.
We had just played the most badass set of our tour, after which I had met up with a childhood friend for some reminiscing over delicious French food and wine. The evening had been beyond exceptional up to this point.
And then the clock struck midnight.
"I'm sorry, but I can't get you up to the bar on the 15th floor," says the very kind man at the entrance of The Nines. "The elevators won't take anyone up there after midnight. But you can go to the lobby on the 8th floor and they'll help you!"
This seemed like an easy fix in my book. After all, we had encountered far more problematic dilemmas on our tour thus far. Problems like buzzing guitars and the heater in our van going out. Now those were problems. Getting to the 15th floor of some hotel in Portland? Totally doable.
At least that's what I thought. As soon as I open my mouth to explain my predicament, however, I discover just how little it matters to the people listening.
"We can't get you up there," the guards at the front desk immediately agree. The tightly suited man and woman both appear completely impervious to my pleas. "But I just finished this tour with Ben Folds, and he's up there, and I just want to say goodbye!" I search their eyes for understanding and find no pity there.
"There's nothing we can do," the man replies. "Bullshit", I think to myself but do not say, now more than slightly irritated by their unwillingness to work with me.
One of my part-time jobs in college had been in marketing for the Ritz-Carlton. I worked for them for two years, so I'd like to think that I have a pretty good sense of how fancy hotels are supposed to assist customers. And this was not it. If I had been at the Ritz, the attendant at the front desk would have actually wanted to help me. Someone would have called the bar and seen if a party was expecting my arrival, and then they would have let me up there.
But I was not at The Ritz. I was at The Nines.
I gave Ryan a call. The noise in the background indicated that way up on the forbidden floor the party was still going strong. So I returned to the front desk for round two.
"Are you telling me there's no way humanly possible to access the 15th floor right now?"
"No. You cannot get up there."
"There are no stairs for example?"
*pregnant pause*
"Even if there were, you wouldn't be able to open the door at the top."
"So there are stairs, but you won't let me take them?"
"No, I won't give you access."
"So it's not that you can't help me, you just won't."
I return to the elevators to find the card that indicates where the stairs are. You know…"in case of emergency". But they're just stairs. Nowhere does it indicate that they are for emergency use only.
"Come on, Sarah." I say, determined not to let these drones ruin my evening. We head for the stairs, and hear the front desk yell after us: "We're calling security!"
"Go ahead," I answer cooly as a familiar face exits the elevator and approaches the front desk. OH SWEET RAY OF HOPE! It was Ben Fold's Front-of-House guy, Leo. I explain the situation to him. "Don't worry about it. I'll just grab my room key and take you guys up there," Leo says reassuringly.
Aware that the red security button has been pushed, we race to the elevators. I know our time is limited, but at this point, there is no way in hell that they are going to prevent me from reaching my final destination.
CURSES! We still can't push the button to the 15th floor!!! Not even with Leo's room key! But we can access the 9th floor, where his room is and take the stairs from there. As we run up flight after flight, my inner-child erupts with defiant giddiness, like the first time I escaped from my crib and my mom walked in to find me grinning on the floor with my toys.
Fuck yeah. We were doing this! When we get to the top floor the door is locked as expected, so I call Riki (our tour manager). He stays on the phone with me as he attempts to find the door to the stairwell. He succeeds. We enter the bar on the 15th floor. At this point (for the record) we have won.
"There's no way they're going to let you stay up here," Riki tells me as a stout security guard rushes past us to take orders from a small-eyed woman nodding in our direction.
"Where are our drinks?" Two bourbon and gingers are waiting for us at the bar, as requested. Sarah and I take them in hand and cheer to our success.
The security guard makes his way toward us, attempting to look as tough as possible (even though he's a good three inches shorter than both of us.) He has been warned by the front desk that he is dealing with two very disruptive girls who were "extremely rude to the other guests." This was false. There had been no "other guests", but I understand that we couldn't just be kicked out of the hotel for "winning".
"You have to leave." He tells us. "Happily," I reply as Sarah and I guzzle down the last of our drinks.
"We're out!" Riki calls to the rest of the band. "They're kicking us out. Let's go." So we begin the walk of shame, our heads held high. Riki smiles at me on our way to the elevators. "Now this is more like it," he tells me. "Finally acting like fucking rock stars."
and this is why i adore her :)
This. This is one of the many reasons why you rock, Nataly.

Steven jumped up axl looked at izzy with a death glare "here slash told me to get you these" izzy said throwing a bag of mixed candy at him axl had complained that he missed candy but they where broke " thanks!!" axl wrote he tore open the bag slash sat by him "you're going to rot your teeth" slash said he tried to get a piece of candy from axl but a hand swatted slash hand away "get your own candy slasher " axl wrote taking the candy to his bedroom "can you share one piece?" slash asked the redhead "there" axl wrote throwing him the smallest candy he could find in the bag " gee thanks i had this before its all still in this tooth " slash said gesturing to his mouth axl tackled him on the ground "hey Steven want to help me break slashes leg?" axl wrote slash tried to break free from axl's grip but axl was stronger Steven picked up slashes leg " great now twist it the other way" axl wrote "please don't " slash said he was scared Steven would really do it "now!" then came the CRACK "whoa! I never wanted you to really do it!!!!!!!!!!!" axl wrote he jumped off slash who was screaming in pain "I'll kill that drummer!" slash screamed "relax" was all axl wrote leaving slash on the ground slash's mind was on the verge of darkness he was in a lot of pain "easy slash" axl wrote then axl's pale hands ran down slash's tan arm trying to sooth the angry painful scene that played out in front of him slash was crying out in pain when anybody tried to touch him duff had ran in there room "slash calm down shh it's ok " duff could calm a mountain lion. Izzy was with Steven who was sobbing like a three year old who was in middle of a fight duff stayed with axl and slash izzy called 911 but they were going to be five minutes axl knew of a few things that calmed slash down axl remembered a few weeks ago when slash was in the doctor's office for a flu shot axl had made fun of his fear of needles due to his "habits"
"your afraid of a stupid needle ?" axl said laughing slash who was messing with the ripped part of his jeans trying to distract himself from the countless kids crying " your a wimp just go get the shot because WE won't take care of you if you get sick" axl said returning to some magazine he picked up axl had gotten his shot and even asked the nurse if it was over slash began to sweat and his heart rate picked up he felt dizzy he stumbled as he tried to walk " hey slash you ok?" axl asked he saw slash sort of stumble back to him he was pale and shaking slash had fallen to the floor by now "slash what's wrong?" axl said to the man who had began to feel faint "slash shh look at me quit this nonsense and go in there " axl said he pulled slash up and threw him in the office "hello slash" the doctor said he took out the syringe and tried to inject it in his arm but the doctor noticed slashes appearance and called for a heart monitor he hooked slash to it "I'm sorry" slash said to the female nurse who was hooking him up to thing slash felt like a idiot "no your fine don't worry but your fear of needles is quite sever mind if I ask why ?" she said she reminded slash of his mom she sort of acted like a mom "It's stupid but when i was six i was attacked by the school nurse she held me down and stabbed a needle in my arm repeated times then took a allergy pen full of a toxin in my neck I was passed out for 2 hours afterward she put me in a choke hold and told if i told anyone what she did i would die so ..Yeah" slash said he hadn't told anyone that or what happened during that but she got it out of him quickly " my god that's horrible I'm sorry " she said the doctor rushed back in "let's get this over with i got a date with the new nurse " the doctor said he was concerned about anything but himself he pulled the shot out again filed it and got close to slash who was sweating and his vision was blurry and he was dizzy his heart monitor was beeping faster and faster he felt the cool metal get closer to his skin but slash jerked away "ok don't be a wimp I'm used to children act this way not adult males be a man " the doctor's word cut like hot knives duff rushed in the room when he heard slashed scream no matter what duff was there for anyone so he was scared for his friend "slash slash shh " duff said he noticed the shot and the stressed out doctor " can we hurry up we have other people not just you like hot chicks now shut your girly A** up so we can go back to our lives!" the doctor screamed duff noticed the clouded appearance in slashes eyes he was not ok "slash?" duff said slashes eyes met his duff saw tears forming in his eyes "doctor stop it he has Trypanophobia his heart rate is too high he needs to relax before you- the nurse tried to say before the doctor smacked her in the face he jabbed the needle in his arm slammed down the plunger then left the needle still deep into his vain causing him a great deal of pain " forgive him here let me help you " the nurse said but instead of ripping the needle out of slashes arm she put a wet washcloth on his head but then axl ran into the room duff had told him what happened and how they couldn't calm him down and if they couldn't he would die of a heart attack and axl marched into room angry then a rabid dog but he quickly calmed down when he saw how scared he was slash was scary to look at axl grabbed his hand "shh you need to calm down slash do you trust me if so let her work I won't let them hurt you ever" and with that slash allowed them to take out the needle "sorry for acting childish and all " slash said trying to get up but was sat back down " no just yet slash your still to stressed to leave rest and relax then we can let you go" she said leaving them alone "so slash you have Trypan....oph uuhh the word on this sheet of paper" axl said slash smiled axl is a pain but whenever he needed him axl was always there "slasher are you feeling any better " axl asked him slash shook his head axl remembered a song that izzy said relaxed him at times but he wasn't gonna sing so he thought he tried it "'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,"
axl said his mind gagging at the idea that he sounded like his father slash laughed at him loudly "thanks pastor rose" slash said "bite me" ....
A paramedic brought him back to life "he'll be ok don't worry" the medic said slash was fixed up quickly "I'm so so sorry "Steven said to slash as they walked back to the house slash didn't say much axl noticed and the fact he was so quite "what's wrong?"Duff said he too was worried slash was silent "you ok?" axl wrote "he…..he….hurt me….." was what slash said silently "who hurt you?" duff asked axl eyes looked like he was gonna kill who ever hurt slash "the doctor he gave me a strange pill then I was passed out for two minutes just like before " duff's heart sank he knew the truest story he was assaulted again …….to be continued

The one time I saw my mom break down and drink Theraflu was when she had to work a double shift at the pizza joint she was moonlighting at to put me through private school. After chugging a heaping mug of that foul smelling witches' brew, it took maybe five seconds for her to throw up an entire order of hot wings. Theraflu was promptly added to the banned medicine list.
"I busted in there and then realized I had no clue what to get," he said while measuring out tiny plastic cup after tiny plastic cup of sour goo that has no right to call itself syrup.
And yes, I had a Hot Toddy or three and all those did was make me inappropriately horny. Remember that one time on "Friends" when Monica was sick but ovulating and turned Chandler on by rubbing Vick's on her chest -- sexily? Yeah, not like that. Let the comment section by our very on WebMD!

Panasonic TZ10 and TZ8 reviews at Photo Review and ISW
Despite the addition of manual exposure and GPS, the Panasonic TZ10 (ZS7) may have been buried a little bit in the avalanche of megazooms, backlit CMOS sensors, and 1080p video, but today it reminds us of its existence with a brand new review at Photo Review. The review starts with a spec-comparison-refresher between it and three more compact-zooms, and continues with the review action, including plenty of Imatest findings and review-purpose sample pictures. As usual, we won't reveal their findings aqui.
Next up we have an ultra-short review of the "deputy", the TZ8 (ZS5), this one at technology website Info Sync World. Their samples are a list of links. This may be the first review of this model.
"Deputy" is not an official name - Panasonic has been releasing two TZ-series models at a time, a sheriff model (TZ10, TZ7, TZ5, TZ3) and a more affordable deputy model (TZ8, TZ6, TZ4, TZ2). With the release of the TZ7/TZ6 models, Panasonic went crazy and decided to spin off the North American names to the ZS-series, creating unnecessary global confusion. It's bad enough we have 200+ new cameras every year, do we really need 2-3 names per model? :) Whenever possible, we use the "organic names" - in this case the TZ-series is the organic name.
In terms of availability the cameras are in pre-order status at their usual colors for the usual prices of $400 and $300.

As we live in a celebrity obsessed society it is no wonder that CBS has revived the old TV show Person-to-Person. Billed as an "intimate interview" format one segment showcased uber-star Geroge Clooney in his Studio City home.
We didn't really learn anything new about George Clooney (his consistent charm is his armour against the public) but we did get a peak at what is inside his refrigerator.
George Clooney, it seems has decided to embrace eating healthy at least judging by the contents of his fridge. Indeed, he said as much to CBS hosts Charlie Rose and Lara Logan. Clooney told CBS that his new year's resolution was to eat healthy and so he has a food professional prepare him lots of salads and juices, and he is laying off the booze.
In fact, George Clooney admitted to going on a "cleanse" which he said was "great".
Finally, the folks who own Organic Life Vitamins must be thanking there lucky stars. As the camera pans through George Clooney's Fridge there is a clear shot of the Organic Life Vitamin bottle – nothing like an unspoken, casual celebrity endorsement – especially from George Clooney, or to be more precise George Clooney's Fridge.

Wisconsin: Gov. Scott Walker cuts DMV in Dem districts now that voter ID is passed
The Wisconsin legislature is finalizing a bill to close ten Department of Motor Vehicle centers located in Democratic districts within the state. The money saved will be used to extend operating hours at DMV centers in Republican districts. These cuts come on the heels of new voter ID laws that require voters to present a state-issued photo identification card at the poll booths.
Wisconsonites, this is serious business. Please make sure that you and your friends still find a way to register to vote.
God what a fucking slimeball.
Get fucked, Walker.
God, how are we ever going to bounce back from this?
