Janis Ian On Mountain Stage
Janis Ian in Concert on Mountain Stage - 10/27/2008
- "Society's Child"
- "Silly Habits"
- "I Hear You Sing Again"
- "At Seventeen"
Janis Ian begins her fifth appearance on Mountain Stage with a recitation from her autobiography, named after a hit song she wrote when she was 14: "Society's Child." As you'll hear in her introduction, the song was received "loudly," because the girl at the center of the song enters into a relationship with a person of another race.
Though she jokes about being a has-been by the age of 17, Ian has evolved as an artist and humanitarian and continues to make records today. Her first career-spanning retrospective, Best of Janis Ian: The Autobiography Collection, was released earlier this year as a companion to the book.
This segment originally ran Oct. 27, 2008.

All Rise...
Judge Bill Gibron prefers PG Tips to $100 bills in his teapot. Wait...what?
The Charge
Be Careful What You Wish For…
The Case
The current economic clime has hit under-employed sweethearts Alice (Juno Temple, Magic Mike) and John (Michael Angarano, Red State) rather hard. While their friends seem to be succeeding, they can't get their footing financially. Of course, it's hard when you're a recent college graduate with a laughable art history degree (she), or a tired telemarketer whose horrible at their job (him).
One day, our marrieds have a car accident and end up near one of those antique shops that only appear in the movies. Alice swipes the title item from the gray-haired hag merchant who runs the place and the couple soon learns its intriguing secret. The teapot spews out money whenever someone nearby experiences pain.
Quickly realizing that their money problems will be a thing of the past if they merely give in to the magical device's harm-based payouts, the duo hurt themselves into a better lifestyle. In the meantime, a pair of Orthodox Jews (Thomas Middleditch, The Campaign; Robert Michael McClure, The Brave One) who claim the pot for themselves and a mystical Asian man (Stephen Park, Fargo) who tries to convince our duo to stop their greedy ways and pursue a more moral path make things complicated.
Now here's a high concept for you. Taking a minor magical realism angle and amplifying it into an entire feature film (the material started as a short, and probably should have stayed there), The Brass Teapot wants to be a contemporary fable about the failing American Dream. It longs to make its point with brazen black comedy and satiric notes on the current state of our desperate fiscal times. But director Ramaa Mosley does herself and her story (she created it for a comic book, with Tim Macy crafting the screenplay) a disservice by not understanding the idea's inherent limits.
If you pose the following possibility—amount of pain equals amount of cash—and then turn your teapot tenuous, no longer "happy" with kicks to the groin and fake S&M bedroom sessions, you place a premium on pain that can only lead one place, and believe it or not, The Brass Teapot doesn't really want to be that kind of movie. Instead, it's a clear example of quasi-hipster cinema that thinks it's being clever, as it repeatedly bashes its head into the wall to make its blatantly obvious points. It's not a bad film, just a slight one. We want more meat here, more truth mixed in with the mannerism. Sadly, the story and the scenarios don't deliver.
As a Blu-ray release, The Brass Teapot excels. It has a terrific 2.39:1 transfer, the colors crisp and the details well defined. Mosley has a great eye and the compositions and framing are really sold by the HD presentation. As for the sonic situation, we get a lossless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio mix that basically ignores the back channels, but as this is a conversation based comedy with little in the way of action, such limits are okay.
In the added content department, the disc is fully fleshed out with a number of excellent extras. First, there is a commentary featuring Mosley and her producer pal P. Jennifer Dana which functions like a how-to when it comes to low budget filmmaking. There is also another making-of which offers some intriguing insights during its near half hour running time. There's also some decent deleted scenes, interviews with Mosley and Angarano, and a trailer. Not bad for such a nominal effort.
In fact, it's easy to give The Brass Teapot a pass. The concept offers enough intrigue to keep you amused, while much of the subtext easily comes through. It could have been better. It could also have been a lot worse.
The Verdict
Not guilty. A diversion for those looking for something different.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give The Brass Teapot (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Thermoelectric Materials Advance Could Drop the Cost of Waste-Heat Harvesting
by Zachary Rybarczyk
New research could lead to more cost-effective materials for using waste heat for electricity and cooling – opening up innovation in a new class of waste heat conversion technologies.
High-efficiency thermoelectric materials – technologies that allow excess heat to be converted to electricity, and electricity to be converted into refrigeration – have been improved by researchers in New York, who say they have developed a process to increase conversion efficiencies and reduce material costs.
Thermoelectrics are used in portable, lightweight refrigerators and coolers, as well as in automotive exhausts, where excess heat converted by thermoelectric converters has been found to increase fuel economy by three percent.
These conversions occur because of a difference in electric potential between the protons and electrons of the materials. When connected to a circuit and insulated properly, these technologies can contribute to enormous efficiencies in energy use.
Materials scientists and engineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed new processes that allow manufacturers to break down and microwave bismuth telluride, a popular thermoelectric material, into "hexagonal nanoplates"—tiny thermoelectric particles that, when pressed together, form extra-efficient heat (and energy) transferring materials.
Past advances in the field have been stymied by the lack of ability to produce both electron ("n-type"), and proton-heavy ("p-type"), nanoparticles, both necessary for electricity conversion, and a problem that RPI researchers have overcome:
The technique, presented in a Nature Materials paper posted online last week, makes p-type materials that are as efficient as the best ones on the market, while the n-type materials are at least 25 percent more efficient. One of the biggest commercial thermoelectric device manufacturers is now interested in adopting the new materials and process.
The key breakthrough of the RPI work, according to Badding, is that the researchers are building the nanostructured materials from the bottom up using chemistry. This means they can fine-tune the properties of the building blocks and their assembly to improve the material's properties. "The way they're making the material is a big deal," he says. "The hope is that in the future, this type of approach could lead to better [efficiency]."
The Institute's advancements in production and process are already being picked up by thermoelectric device manufacturers in the market. These new materials could be used to help cool electronics, large buildings and power vehicles.
3 Responses to Thermoelectric Materials Advance Could Drop the Cost of Waste-Heat Harvesting
yes, there's every indication that nanotechnology will provide extraordinary benefit to many fields including clean, green, and sustainable tech.
This is the type of stuff that austerity hawks, climate change deniers, etc. are trying to stymie quite literally equivalent to stopping or greatly hindering the development of information and communications technologies, medical advances, applied sciences, modern cities and infrastructure, and the list goes on for all the great stuff to come — from an optimistic view — which evolving civilizations will depend on.
It seems that it's real easy to get lazy and self-serving and big lumbering powerfully-entrenched special interests have a hard time getting out of the way even in the best of circumstances.
Yes! Wasted heat from fossil fuel combustion has contributed nothing to efficiency but, perhaps, 50% to global warming by adding CO2 to the atmosphere.
More wasted heat research, please!

Lady Russell is mentor, friend, and surrogate mother for Anne. While she thinks her advice is good, she tends to ignore any input from Anne, such as when she votes for the Elliots moving to Bath despite Anne's hatred of the place.
Lady Russell felt obliged to oppose her dear Anne's known wishes. […] And with regard to Anne's dislike of Bath, she considered it as a prejudice and mistake arising, first, from the circumstance of her having been three years at school there, after her mother's death; and secondly, from her happening to be not in perfectly good spirits the only winter which she had afterwards spent there with herself. (2.11)
Lady Russell imposes her own interpretation on Anne's bad feelings about Bath, putting them down to poor timing and unhappy associations rather than anything about Bath itself. Of course, demonstrating the irrationality of the reasons why Bath rubs Anne the wrong way doesn't do much to change the fact that Anne can't stand the place. For Lady Russell, her conviction that Bath shouldn't bother Anne trumps Anne's understanding of her own feelings, and it's Lady Russell's way or the highway.
At the end of the novel, however, she supports Anne's happiness in marrying Wentworth, even though it proves her wrong. This about-face suggests that, despite her misguided actions, she really does have Anne's best interests at heart.

Download the Stained Glass Window video
I like to imagine James Fergusson opening the front door of his house in suburban Malvern in 1872 - his brand new house, and walking in and gazing admiringly up at this wonderful stained glass window that he had commissioned for his new mansion. Every night when James came home it told him that he was a successful businessman, a member of parliament; that like so many men who had arrived with not much in the 1850s, he had made it in goldrush Victoria.
Like so many objects when they come in to the museum's collection, further detective work is required to get them to tell the whole story. When the museum acquired this window it in fact came out of a 1960s suburban house in Malvern, not out of its original mansion, and it took considerable work to work out that it fact that it had come from a mansion long-demolished. The key to that was the coat of arms that sits in the centre of the window - research shows that that is actually the coat of arms of the Fergusson Scottish clan with the three boars heads and the buckle. From that we are able to piece together that in fact there was a Fergusson - James Fergusson - who had built a mansion in 1872 which he called "Glenferrie" just adjacent to what is now Glenferrie Road.
The window also tells us about the pride of a whole generation of wealthy merchants and politicians and businessmen in Melbourne after 20 years since the discovery of gold and the establishment of the colony of Victoria, they could now look back on their achievements, and all the panels here on the window depict the shipping, the farming, the mining, the agriculture and the industry that had transformed Melbourne in those 20 years.
The window is made by a local stained glass manufacturers - Ferguson and Urie in North Melbourne, but we think they've actually incorporated images that have been brought from England, because many of the themes look rather more English than they do Victorian. The people gathering hay look like they are doing it in Hampshire rather than the Western District, and the sheep, down in the bottom corner, look rather more like they're in the Sussex Downs than they are Gippsland.
But at the pride of place up at the top of the window is the Australian colonial coat of arms, so this was an English and Victorian window at one and the same time.
Hi, I am enjoying the info on the Melbourne Museum site. May I suggest a segment on the Helmeted Honeyeater, found only in Victoria. This native bird has been b...

Saturday night's fight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., (HBO at 10:30pm ET/PT), not only features two rising stars hoping to grab one of the titles left vacant by Manny Pacquiao, but also highlights a defining moment in the career of one of boxing's most promising prospects: Saul Alvarez, the freckle-faced Mexican bomber with the matinee idol looks. Meanwhile, Matthew Hatton -- a tough contender with a blue-collar work ethic and a style to match -- will try to capture his own portion of the spotlight, once occupied by his older brother and former champion Ricky Hatton. Here's what Hatton had to say about this crucial fight in his career.
What can you say about your training for this fight?
I trained not too far from my home in Manchester, England. My trainer, Bob Shannon, he has a gym in Audenshaw, in Manchester. And also my brother Ricky has a fitness facility in Hyde, so I used both gyms. I've been in training for eight weeks for this fight. I am a fighter that really enjoys training. I am lucky not to have a job outside of the ring. I think it is a fighter's job to be in good shape throughout the year. The camp was fantastic, and when the fight was made for the world title, I got a little extra motivation, so I pushed myself like never before. I am in great shape and I look forward to the fight. I am very confident.
You have said this is the fight you were waiting for. Why?
I said this because the fight was mentioned to me a couple of times before. Before Saul fought Lovemore N'Dou last December, the fight was offered to me. But I was contracted to defend my European title at the time, so that's why I didn't take the fight then. When I couldn't take the fight, I asked them to bear me in mind for the future, to get back to me for his next fight, and that's what Golden Boy has done. So I knew this fight would come along sooner or later.
Do you feel the pressure of being in the ring against one of the most-watched prospects in boxing right now?
Not really. I feel as if Saul is the one with all the pressure on [him]. There is a lot of pressure surrounding him, a lot of great things are expected of him, and he is fighting at home, so a lot of people are making him the favorite. I feel he is the fighter with the pressure on his shoulders. This is a fight I go into with everything to gain and nothing to lose. A lot of people are making Saul a strong favorite, but that's not the way I see it. It's a fight I go into full of confidence, so I don't feel any pressure at all. It is obviously a challenge to me, fighting for the WBC title, which is a great honor for me, so I am really excited about it.
What is the most powerful weapon in Alvarez's arsenal?
I think Saul is a very good all-around fighter. He can box, he can fight, he is an intelligent fighter. And, obviously, he has power too. He has a high knockout percentage, so he is a very good all-around fighter, but like every fighter, he has weaknesses too. I know it is a tough fight. Naturally, he is slightly the bigger guy, also. But I am going into this fight 100 percent confident -- there is no doubt in my mind that I will be victorious in this fight, definitely.
Your lack of mobility falls right into Alvarez's style of fighting. Do you see it that way, or do you feel his style suits your own style a bit more?
Saul can box, but he prefers to mix it up, and so do I. I think it's going to be an entertaining fight. I like to stand there and mix it up. I can box and move, and be quite mobile, and I think he likes the same as me, so this is going to make for a fun fight, really.
How important is it for you to leave your own mark and escape your brother's shadow?
Obviously, being his brother, people will make comparisons. But it's never been my ambition to emulate other fighters. Ricky has been a fantastic fighter and a world champion. The only time I have been really disappointed in myself is when I haven't performed to the best of my ability early in my career. The only thing that concerns me is boxing as well as I can perform, and over the last two years I have been really improving, and I just want to be the best I can be and become a world champion.
Would you consider staying at 154 pounds if you win, or do you plan to drop back to 147?
I have fought almost my entire career as a welterweight, and I am a big welterweight. So even before this fight was sanctioned for the WBC title, I had already agreed to take a step up in weight. This fight is made at 10 stone 10 [150 pounds], so it's not a massive jump from the welterweight division. Strength is not something I worry about when I go into fights, because I am a strong fighter. I will see how this fight goes, but the preparation has felt great. I will see how I perform ... and then see what opportunities come my way and take it from there.
You have been a brawler more than a boxer throughout your career. Is there anything new that we're going to see from you in this fight?
I just feel as if, like you said, no fighter is perfect. And my intention every time I set foot not only in the ring but in the gym, as well, is to improve and refine my skills, to get better and better. I am not working on anything in particular because my training has been better than ever for this fight. Like I said, I have a new trainer and I am putting a lot of effort in the gym with him, and we're working on new things in the gym all the time, so I feel I will be better all around.
How do you envision the fight playing out on Saturday night?
I know every fighter says this, but I really think it will be a great fight. Two hungry fighters who both like to come forward. I am not an unrealistic guy; I am not going to say that I am going in there and I am going to blow him away in one or two rounds. But I don't see that being the case for him, also. I think that it will be a difficult fight for both him and myself. I think it will be a close, hard-fought fight. I am a very well-conditioned and determined fighter, and I think this fight comes at the best time for me. I am in the best form in my career so far, and I can see only one winner and that's myself, to be honest.

Hi. I'm using the Invictus photography based theme, which uses its own gallery pages. But I like using NGG to post images and slideshows on my Blog page.
When I post an NGG gallery directly, that does work. The thumbnail appears on my blog page and the image or slideshow opens as expected.
When I post an album with the gallery inside, I do see the correct thumbnail indicating the gallery that should open, but then when I click on the thumbnail for that album I only see "Sorry, this page was not found. It seems we can't find what you're looking for."
My guess is that the album link is probably pointing to the wrong place, and can't find the proper blog page that the Invictus theme is using. But again, posting an individual gallery works just fine. I guess because the gallery opens directly on the same page I'm already on, in that case.
I would really like this to work, so if anyone can help its very appreciated. You can see the example in a post here:
If that doesn't work just go to http://myadventurouslife.net and click the BLOG page. The example post should be at or near the top of the page.
Please help!! And Thank you!

Lenin versus Hattersley
I have in the past been less than complimentary towards Labour veteran Roy Hattersley. Today, however, the old boy managed to surprise me just a little. So used to hearing the 'social democratic' Left justify below inflation wage increases on behalf of their New Labour counterparts, it was refreshing to read Hattersley writing frankly about wealth redistribution, a house building programme and so forth. Hattersley even went as far as to attack the notion of social mobility as an end in itself.
As it happens, I agree with all of those points. However Hattersley's critique of social mobility has a few holes in it. He notes that he would celebrate should one in every thousand (rather than one in every two thousand) students in his former constituency go on to medical school, but he doesn't tell us why we should care if that's the case. Hattersley attacks the notion that the working class don't 'get on' simply due to their own inherent make-up, but doesn't address the question of why 'getting on' is important.
If ten or twenty or a thousand of every two thousand in Hattersley's constituency became doctors, then we'd draw our pool of manual labour and the lower-paid workers from somewhere else. As Hattersley seems to note, before veering off, social mobility is a zero-sum game, based on a competitive ethic that ensures somewhere at all times there are underpaid people performing menial tasks when they are capable of more than that. Hattersley simply comments that everyone needs an equal start and an open road.
Fine, but to what end? If, as Hattersley says, social mobility means nothing without deeper economic change, what sort of economic change does he have in mind? He doesn't say. He supports building houses to improve the life chances of the working class, and no doubt free education and a better NHS, the touchstones of British social democracy. Yet his analysis doesn't account for the opposition these things face in practice and for what reason they face opposition.
It is a laudable ideal that everyone should be able to reach whatever they aspire to be – but that's not fundamental economic change. It may be possible in the UK, but largely at the expense of having the 'lesser' jobs exported to other countries. Even with that, we've still not rid ourselves of chronically low paid jobs, from the retail industry to service sector workers, greasing the skids on which the City of London runs day after day, week after week. I'm sure none of those people grew up wanting to do that.
Not that they're not proud of what they do; anyone who works hard at their job has the right to take pride in it.
Nevertheless, the lot of these people is not a good one – and though Hattersley wants universal education and such to help them work their way up the ladder, it isn't fundamental change. The fundamental change is lacking because of Hattersley's conception of the State as an impartial, democratically influenced instrument to adjudicate the interests of different sections of society, whatever those different sections of society may be.
Such a notion forgets that the State is fundamentally grounded in the socio-economic system we call capitalism. It is the defender of property rights, and on the basis of private property, which can be amassed by individuals and collections of individuals, only an exploitative economic system can exist. The framework within which the State operates is therefore grotesquely biased, not to mention that any number of the politicians go to public schools with the same individuals who amass such property.
Without the overthrow of private property (and consequently the State) there will be no 'fundamental' economic reform. We might protect the poorest from the worst excesses of their poverty, and we might create and sustain a middle class bridge of small producers and professionals between the propertied and the propertyless – but this doesn't enfranchise people within the democratic state. Nor does freedom of speech; there is a gap between voicing dissent and bending the actions of the State.
The gap can be filled by activism – within a political party for example – but where that action is designed to democratize or redistribute wealth, once again it will provoke class-based opposition. The contradictions of capitalism sharpen and either the activist movement collapses or the capitalist system of production is conquered; there is no middle way, no ever-vigilant body which cannot itself fall prey to the rhetoric of its opponents during the wars of ideological position.
After all, this is what happened to the Labour Party; the contradictions of maintaining a pro-redistributive party in the midst of economic crisis were resolved by the swing of arms of the Party to the right and to the left. To try to recreate that centre-left ground upon which Attlee and his successors stood is simply to attempt the repetition of history, on much less favourable terms, since we have not the militant resources that Bevan, Tribune and the Communist Party of that period had.
Hattersley may say that to promote a view of class war is to demand that we hang the bourgeoisie from the trees – but this is hyperbole. Similarly to attempt to explain away class opposition between worker and owner as merely resentment of 'positional goods' is to indulge in a mockery of politics as old as Aristotle's euporoi and aporoi, and Aristophanes' demos: the politics of envy is not what motivates people. No, the division is much more fundamental than merely haves and have-nots.
It is a resentment that a minority fundamentally control the means to create wealth, and a minority control the uses to which that wealth is put. The State, by refusing to intervene to a huge extent here, biases itself further still; far from being a neutral arbiter, the artificial division of 'social' from 'economic' sphere is inherent to the point of the State, protection of property rights. In short, the bourgeoisie can keep their goods, we're simply aiming to take over the means of their creation, to put them to better use.
This is a distinction which Hattersley clearly fails to understand.

Class war – more properly class *struggle* – doesn't mean that one side wins by killing the other. This should be obvious to all but the willfully ignorant. I wonder though, does Hattersley misunderstand or rather want to misunderstand?
For years he was telling all who would listen that Gordon Brown was a secret socialist. We can only assume that Brown has forgotten his secret – unless, of course, Gordon's still keeping it. Perhaps from beyond the premiership, Bliar has an iron grip on poor Gordon?
On the capitalist class, I recall Arthur Scargil being asked on Parky what the Queen would do in a socialist republic. He replied to the effect that she could get a job in Woolworths (this was the 80s remember, the Queen was younger – & Woolies was still with us). This reply got a laugh from the audience, and still brings a smile to my face, but is it not a serious answer?
We should say that rather being hung from trees, ex-capitalists will be assisted in getting skills training so they can get ahead in a rapidly changing socialist economy!
January 26, 2009 at 6:51 pm
"Class war – more properly class *struggle* – doesn't mean that one side wins by killing the other. This should be obvious to all but the willfully ignorant. I wonder though, does Hattersley misunderstand or rather want to misunderstand?"
Fair point; he's clearly confusing the subject with violent revolution. About which my feelings are rather similar, I should add.
A lot of thinking on the Labour right during this period fundamentally misunderstands and mischaracterises the basics of Marxism. I've got a particularly poor example of this; an ancient Fabian pamphlet about Militant which peddles all kinds of misconception.
IMHO it's right to support the capitalist right to organise, as well as the capitalist right to life and free speech. But then, even Chavistas stretch to this.
Then again, my politics is more about what should be the obligation for capitalists than what their rights are. I think the same could also be said of RH, however mistaken he is about the point above.
January 29, 2009 at 12:07 am
"IMHO it's right to support the capitalist right to organise, as well as the capitalist right to life and free speech. But then, even Chavistas stretch to this."
I don't understand this bit. Are you talking about the rights of capitalists, or the rights our class have won through years of struggle under capitalism?
January 29, 2009 at 4:07 pm
With regards to social mobility being a zero-sum game, I think that's largely correct. That doesn't make it worthless though: In theory it should mean that natural talent is used to its optimum, and people should have more (although inevitably limited) ability to find a job which helps them get what they want out of life: Some want to be stretched mentally, some want physical exertion, some want shorter hours etc. So social mobility has to be positive in itself.
I realise I'm preaching to the choir here, but I wonder whether you have an alternative vision for how jobs should be shared out. There will always be menial jobs because menial jobs need doing, capitalist economy or not. Certainly, we can try to do something about horrendous wage discrepancy, but I don't see how anything could even theoretically be done about the fact that some jobs are simply more enviable than others.

Remuneration on the basis of effort and sacrifice?
January 30, 2009 at 11:00 am
What Charlie says is basically what Lenin proposes in State and Revolution, which are his musings on the transition between capitalism and communism, via the dictatorship of the proletariat and its relevant economic system. The least palatable jobs get perks, as the system of wage labour would survive for a while – though naturally being more fair, and with the surplus value controlled by the workers themselves.
Beyond that, we should remember that the division of labour which currently exists is artificially created and sustained (and extended!) by capitalism.
With the advent of a genuinely fair system, first of all there would be full employment and concomitantly less labour in total. Employment would not be based on extracting the maximum surplus for the minimum expenditure. It would be based on a democratically planned economy, wherein manpower could be rationally allocated rather than allocated according to the vagaries of class struggle.
The degree of specialisation in society would also decrease, since no one would be deprived of access to facilities of higher learning, and we could give full reign to the development of all talents. Menial tasks could then be shared out amongst people; if there are X hours of menial work – say bin-collecting, or street sweeping – and there are Y people, then X/Y would be the amount of time individuals spend on menial work. Which is virtually insignificant if you think about it logically.

American knitter using UK pattern
Hi everyone,
In case anyone has the pattern, I'd like some help with the Twilleys of Stamford (456) Lacy Glove pattern (pg. 30). I am new to lace knitting. I have knitted lace before, but years ago.
The instructions state "K tog first st with corresponding st of cast-in edge, *K tog next st with corresponding st of cast-on edge, rep from * to end". I don't understand how to do this K tog. I presume it doesn't mean a simple K2tog.
I am an inconsistent knitter (I'm sure you're all aghast at that thought), so thorough explanations at the level of near complete idiot are appreciated.
Don't know if this will help you for possible analogy use, but I am a very skilled sewer and crocheter.
Thanks in advance!
It sounds like you're making a hem. When they say "K tog" they mean k2tog or knit 2 together. Does that help?
Like Jan says, it sounds like a hem. I can't find anything specific to picking up a stitch from the cast on edge but if you look here and scroll down to Step 5, you might get a better idea of what you're doing. You could pickup the stitches at the cast on edge onto a second needles. Then the three needle bind-off Jan mentions would be next. There are two videos for it here, one English and one Continental. Did your pattern call for a provisional cast on?
When I do hems I do them with a provisional cast on so it's easy to do. With a previous cast on you'll just try to pick up a cast on stitch for each each stitch of your stitches.
I've watched a video where stitches from a number of rows up were picked up to k2 tog with the ones on the needle and I couldn't imagine me getting it right. The provisional cast on works so nicely.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for the advice, but I'm not sure it's a hem, as it's a row in the middle of a lace pattern that continues for many rows after this.
I understand K tog and K2tog, but this doesn't seem to be asking for something as simple as that.
What confuses me about this pattern is where it instructs to knit with the first corresponding st of cast-on edge.
Thanks again!
Unfortunately that one doesn't seem to be on Ravelry. Is there a yarn store you can go to so so done can actually see the pattern and the gloves?
You can post a few lines of the pattern here and a picture, but please do not post the entire pattern. Che k the link in my sig for how to post pictures and proper sizes.
I could be completely off here, but just from the description it sounds as if they want you to knit each stitch as a "knit one below", only with stitches in the CO row? But I don't know what function this would serve in lace work... so maybe I'm reading it wrong. I'm sure not picturing it. I can't think of any reason they'd write it this way if they just meant "k2tog"... but as I have learned, what the writer meant and what makes sense to me frequently diverge.
I'm not picturing it well either. I'm wondering if it is to make a ridge of sorts.
Question to OP: How many rows back is the cast on edge?

How is lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) treated?
Since LAM occurs almost exclusively in women of reproductive age, researchers believe the hormone estrogen might be involved in the abnormal muscle cell growth that characterizes the disease. Although there is no direct evidence that there is a relationship between estrogen and LAM, the treatment of LAM has focused on reducing the production or effects of estrogen. This could include estrogen or other hormone suppressing drugs. Additionally, doctors believe pregnancy may accelerate the progression of LAM. Women with LAM are urged to speak with a health care professional before getting pregnant.[2]

Released: Mar 01st, 2007
Running Time: 117
Director: Peter Huber
Company: XOXO Pictures
Cast: Andrew Andretti, Anthony Hardwood, Jasmine Tame, Brett Rockman, Gen Padova, Morgan March, Chris Charming, Chrissy Tyler, Dirty Harry, Genesis Skye
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
This disc has the air of being slapped together a little too hastily. For one thing, although the box cover gives the nod to one Jennifer Nicole as the director, the credits themselves list Peter Huber. Second of all, neither Morgan March nor Gen Padova really count as "teens," either in actual age or in looks. Finally, there are a number of small technical glitches, including pixilation in one scene and a buzz on the soundtrack in another.
Given all that, the first two scenes are surprisingly strong. Jasmine Tame is a very naughty girl who really likes it up the ass. And Genesis Skye is perfect as a shy, pigtailed innocent cajoled by Brett Rockman into giving him a blowjob and more. Padova's scene, too, is full of dirty talk and leg-shaking orgasms.
Retailing: Stock in the teen section.

Botox -- along with the similar Dysport and Xeomin -- usually takes one to three days to start working. The effects usually peak in one to four weeks, and then gradually wear off after three to four months. Treatments should be spaced out by at least three months.
Long-term sun exposure and damage from the sun's ultraviolet light leads to photoaging, which causes most wrinkles and undesirable skin changes.
Of course, staying out of the sun and wearing UV-protective clothing are the best ways to prevent wrinkles, but not many of us will really do that. So, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (offering UVA and UVB protection with an SPF of 30 or higher) every day is the most effective
way -- to protect skin and look younger.
Dermatologists recommend using moisturizer to plump up fine lines and make your complexion look younger. A good moisturizer can protect your skin from drying out, which leads to wrinkles. Many products that promise wrinkle reduction in 24 to 48 hours contain moisturizer as a top ingredient.
Smiling -- along with squinting, frowning, and other repetitive facial expressions -- makes fine lines and wrinkles more prominent over time because skin loses elasticity as we age. And those facial exercises some of us do to try to improve muscle tone? They actually have the opposite effect.
Products with retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids, and azelaic acid have been shown to treat signs of aging and make skin look younger. Retinoic acid, which is derived from vitamin A, can partially reverse photoaging changes. Azelaic acid and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are natural-based acids that can be used to exfoliate and lighten discolorations.
Be careful not to dismiss skin changes as harmless age spots. What you may believe is an age spot could turn out to be melanoma (or another type of skin cancer). So it's important to see a dermatologist for anything noticeably new and different with your skin.
It's no secret that smoking can age you. One study showed the appearance of facial wrinkles under a microscope in smokers as young as 20. Odds are high that long-term smokers will develop deeply wrinkled, leathery skin. But smokers who quit the habit show less facial wrinkling and improved skin tone when they stop, so that's another reason to stub out the cigarettes.
Women get more wrinkles and deeper lines around the lips (called perioral wrinkles) than their male counterparts, according to researchers in the Netherlands. Men have more sweat glands and better circulation around the mouth, which may explain why they are less prone to these wrinkles.
Facial rejuvenation procedures are the most common in plastic surgeons' offices -- with Botox/Dysport topping the charts. Also popular are dermal fillers, soft-tissue injections to soften facial wrinkles, and microdermabrasion, which uses tiny crystals to remove skin and smooth out fine lines.
In a 2010 survey, 17% of women said that they would get a facelift if they weren't concerned about cost. One-third of Baby Boomers would pick facelifts. Tummy tucks, liposuction, and breast lifts were the top three most popular choices for cosmetic treatments.
Laser skin resurfacing that uses non-ablative, or non-wounding, lasers doesn't require any downtime for healing because it leaves the outer layers of the skin intact. Ablative laser skin resurfacing -- along with dermabrasion and chemical peels -- requires a longer healing time, usually five to 10 days, and makeup application is allowed after seven to 14 days.
Juvederm and Restylane are FDA-approved soft-tissue fillers used to correct wrinkles in problem areas. Botox softens wrinkles by blocking signals from nerves to muscles, keeping the muscle from contracting.
Researchers have found that dressing in red can make women look more attractive, especially to potential mates. So if you're worried that webcams are unflattering, don't rush to schedule a facelift. After all, beauty is more than skin deep.
Way to go! You've been around the block when it comes to wrinkles and antiaging treatments. For more info, see the links below.
Not bad. But you may want to brush up on protecting your skin from aging and the elements. Check the related links below.

Being stuck indoors always motivates me to do something creative. The other night Jane and I watched Matrix-Reloaded. I was so inspired by the wardrobe! Of course Keanu's black trench is amazing…
I love the overall steam punk vibe of this movie, and how all of the clothes looked like they were on the verge of coming unraveled..so feeling inspired I thought I might try to do a shredded t-shirt much like the one on Camille's blog.
I love how she did this–I watched her tutorial on line, but either I'm inept, or my t-shirt had too much elasticity….probably a bit of both. Either way, I ended up with this….I got a little carried away on the studs.
Not quite the same, but I kind of like it. Thanks Jane! Carol kept me company and studded her own converse tennishoes….

Antoine's beautiful mountain house was one of the highlights of our Corsican trip. He and his family have worked on the place for decades, and everything is kept in perfect condition (we wished we could stay for much longer!). It's only a 10 minute walk into the main part of Corte, should you need anything, but we were happy to stay in with the mountain view, pool, and their friendly beast of a dog. Breakfast was one of the most incredible I've had, and Antoine's father kindly offered us a lift to the station the day we left. Highly recommended, and a real mountain experience and base should you be hiking etc.
Sehr schöne Zimmer mit Charme! Die Einrichtung ist wirklich sehr stilvoll und doe Zimmer sind auch sauber. Auch die Umgebung (Nähe zur Stadt) ist ideal. Der Außenbereich sieht teilweise noch aus, als ob er in Bearneitung wäre, was aber nicht sonderlich stört.

HHS gym named for Pardue
Published: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 12:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 9:27 p.m.
The Hendersonville High School gym will soon go by a new name -- the Jim Pardue Gymnasium.
The Henderson County School Board voted Monday to name the gym after Pardue, encouraged by former players and friends of the late coach, including Hendersonville High School Principal Bobby Wilkins.
"Many, many people loved the man, and I'm included," said Wilkins, who played basketball and studied under Pardue as a high school student and later coached basketball with him.
The former players considered the tribute fitting, since Pardue earned his legendary status on a Hendersonville High School basketball court. Hendersonville High has two gyms. The newer gym, which opened in 1976, will bear the legendary coach's name.
Pardue succumbed to cancer on July 22 after a long battle. He was 78.
Pardue's influence extended beyond the playing field. He has been credited with easing the transition of desegregation and lauded for his color-blind approach to athletics and education.
Former players and friends held a tribute to Pardue in the Hendersonville High gymnasium in May, and he was inducted into Order of the Long Leaf Pine in June. It is the highest civilian honor that can be granted by North Carolina.
"That Long Leaf Pine didn't mean nothing compared to having that gym named after him," said Douglas McDaniel, who played for Pardue's basketball team from 1974 to 1976.
From 1965 to 1984, Pardue's basketball teams accumulated a combined 391-98 record, won 10 District 8 titles and the 1972 3-A state title. He never had a losing season, won 20 or more games 12 times and had two undefeated regular seasons (1978 and 1980).
Pardue's basketball squads were the measuring stick for excellence in Western North Carolina and his reputation still resonates with those who competed for and against his teams.
Pardue was a three-time WNC Coach of the Year, two-time coach of the Blue team (non-Buncombe County seniors) in the annual Blue-White All Star Game and a one-time coach of the West team in the East-West All Star game in Greensboro.
But it's not the coaching record former players recall when they speak about Pardue. More often, the words "father figure" and "mentor" come up.
"He was a special man, a godsend," said Harold Albany, who played for Pardue's basketball team from 1969 to 1972. "A lot of teams were bigger than we were, but we were never outclassed."

The 1,926-square-foot bungalow—its gabled front porch long ago converted into a sunroom—kept its original footprint and much of the existing layout. On the first floor, a mudroom wall came down to create the eating nook. Upstairs, one wall was moved and another added to turn two bedrooms into a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and an adjacent bath.

"God is a luxury I can't afford."Crimes and Misdemeanors is a 1989 Dramedy written by, directed by, and starring Woody Allen. The film follows two stories: the "A" story is about Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau), a successful opthamologist and active philanthropist, struggling to break free of a mistress who wants him to leave his family for her. The "B" story is about Cliff Stern (Woody Allen), a documentarian who finds popular culture and materialism repellent. Rosenthal is forced to make a decision by his insistent mistress Dolores (Anjelica Huston), while Stern, hopeful to complete his masterwork, agrees to profile his brother-in-law Lester (Alan Alda), a wealthy and successful television producer Stern considers shallow and crass, and finds himself falling for Lester's assistant Halley (Mia Farrow).
— Judah Rosenthal
Tropes appearing in Crimes and Misdemeanors include:
- Author Avatar: As usual, Woody's character is a Deadpan Snarker with relationship issues.
- A Rare Sentence:Cliff: A strange man...defecated on my sister.
- Big Brother Worship: Cliff's wife Wendy is Lester's sister. It's unclear which is the older sibling, but Wendy greatly admires her brother.
- Body Motifs: The eyes. Judah's father, a religious man, was fond of saying that "The eyes of God are on us always" when Judah was a boy. Judah grew up and became an opthamologist. Judah's rabbi went blind right about the same time Judah had Dolores killed. When Judah visited the scene of the crime, he found Dolores dead but with her eyes still open. He took a moment to close them.
- Cool Uncle: Cliff is this to Jenny.
- Dies Wide Open: Dolores. Her dead eyes pierce through Judah's soul.
- Doing It for the Art: Cliff. His wife Wendy urges him to use his filmmaking talents for greater financial gain and peer recognition. To that end, she arranges for her brother Lester to get profiled by Cliff.
- Driven to Suicide: Woody's favorite documentary subject, a professor who seems to have a sunny outlook on life, kills himself. Cliff is especially depressed about his suicide note: "I've gone out the window."
- Karma Houdini: Judah isn't even suspected of having his mistress murdered, let alone punished.
- Large Ham: Lester
- Mood Whiplash: From tragedy to comedy and back again.
- My Card: Detective: "If you remember anything that might help..."
- My God, What Have I Done?: Judah experiences this, but he gets over it.
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: Lester is basically Larry Gelbart, whom Woody Allen and Alan Alda had both worked with and weren't enamored of. The quotes Lester makes like "Tragedy is comedy plus time"? Gelbart constantly prattled those aphorisms on the set of M*A*S*H and elsewhere.
- Take That: Cliff, to Lester. Cliff screens his profile doc for Lester, who is treated to seeing himself making a sleazy pass at an actress and hearing his words set to footage of Benito Mussolini and Francis The Talking Mule. Lester was not amused.
- Too Soon: The film basically has the Trope Codifier ("Comedy is tragedy plus time".)
- Yandere: Dolores.
