In 1609, Henry Hudson was chosen by the Dutch East India Company to search for a passage to Asia. In September of that year, Hudson landed on the shores of the river that would be named for him and claimed the lands along it for the Dutch. This nineteenth-century engraving, based on a painting by Robert W. Weir (1803–1889), an American artist of the Hudson River School, depicts the English explorer's anchoring on the Hudson River. Hudson and his men approach the shore in a small boat, signaling their arrival and claim with a horn's blow and the Dutch flag. Their ship, the Half Moon, looms in the background and dwarfed Indian canoes paddle out to meet it.
The logbook of Hudson's ship records the landing on September 5: "Our men went on Land there, and saw great store of Men, Women and Children," and notes that the "people of the countrie" were "very civill" and "very glad of our coming."[1] The image conveys the native peoples' eagerness to meet the group of Europeans, with several men helping to pull the boat ashore as others look on. They offered Hudson's men food, tobacco, and other goods, but Hudson "durst not trust them."[2] Hudson and his crew ascended the river northward for ten days, meeting and trading with native groups, before returning to Europe. Hudson's exploration of the river had profound implications for both Europeans and Native Americans. The waterway would prove to be an important route to trade, colonization, and conflict.

Black Forest and Muenster Rolls
Frozen bread and roll dough are a boon for busy cooks, especially during the holiday season. And this is a recipe that takes advantage of these convenience products.
I first sampled this recipe for Black Forest and Muenster Rolls while serving on the executive committee of the Junior League of Augusta. Our president at the time, Gail Stebbins, an Augusta attorney and gourmet cook, served us many memorable meals at meetings around her dining room table. Gail's rolls were prepared with homemade yeast dough, but if you thaw a loaf of frozen bread dough, you can prepare this recipe without measuring a bit of flour.
They're great with a bowl of soup, or make a wonderful accompaniment to a holiday breakfast of scrambled eggs and fruit salad.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. When rolls have risen, bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Makes 8 to 12 rolls.

Blah... I'm so sorry for it being late. It should go up in a few minutes.
A quick explination since I can't access LJ to write the update box right now.
This wek is my spring break from college. Tuesday night of last week, my brother and his buddy came to visit. We hung out, and I went to classes, wrapped stuff up. Early friday morning, the three of us hopped into cars and headed on the 4 hour drive home. We made it in 3 1/2 hours... I'm not even gonna think about how we managed that. We met my Moms for lunch in town, cleaned out thebox at the comic store, went home, and I took a short nap. Then I headed out to make a 15 minute or so stop to say hi to everyone at dojo. Yay! Saw Jenni-chan, John-chan, and Elm-san! I then headed into town to meetMom, Dad, and my Aunt Fran for dinner at Logans. About half-way there, Randi-chan calls my cel and invites me to a poetry reading at Noone's Gallery. So I meet her after dinner and we go to Noone's. Whee! It was really a blast. Everyone there was just soo good it just blows the mind... Afterwards, Mike-kun, Randi-chan's ex boyfriend acted like a real ass, tht's all that needs to be said of him. *angry fist* So I tried to be as supportive as posssible while Randi-chan vented. We got on the road with just enough time for her to make curfew. *whew* I got up ths morning, and spent all day cleaning house because Auny Fran is coming over to celebrate her birthday tomorrow. So, I just now have hadtime to do the comic, scan, and put it together on little brother's comp, and upload it.
So tired...
Oh yeah! Big Hi out to everyone I got tomeet at Noone's last night! You're all positively amazing people. Very good vibes everywhere in that place. ^_^ It was really neat to meet Drew, who has e-mailed me before, big surprise for me! And it was nice to meet the guy who is doing a webcomic soon, if you read this, send me your url once you get going. Eh.. who else... Jen was a very cool person to have the chance to met, and so was the girl from the local anime clubs, Haley. I got to meet a lot of great people. Thank all of you for the honor. Sorry I'm so bad with names, I can't remember everyone...
And then... I check the forum and find out people have visited! Yay! Thank you soo much!
Night Everybody!
Safe Journeys,

When John Douglas tuned in to New York City radio station WBAI on October 30, 1973, he heard these words: s--t, p--s, f--k, c--t, c--------r, mother-----r and t--s. One after the other.
"I hadn't heard those words since I was a kid in the steel factories in Canton, Ohio," says Douglas, now 80. "And my son is next to me giving me a quizzical look."
Back then, Douglas was president of the publishing and education division of CBS. But he was also a member of Morality in Media, a non-profit organization established to keep the public airwaves squeaky clean, and one that was often at loggerheads with networks like CBS.
And that afternoon, when he heard comedian George Carlin's "Seven Dirty Words" rant filtering through his car radio, it enraged him enough that he filed a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission.
Today almost 40 years later he seems just as incensed by it all.
"Do you want to live in this kind of society?" says Douglas. "Do you want to live where somebody will defecate on the sidewalk and say that that's a function of his personal freedom?"
Douglas's lone action against the airing of Carlin's now-famous anti-censorship routine led to five years of litigation that culminated in a 1978 Supreme Court decision FCC vs. WBAI's owners, the non-profit Pacifica Foundation that sided with Douglas and Morality in Media and upheld the FCC's right to regulate content that's broadcast over television and radio airwaves.
It was a victory for those who believed that broadcast content should not only be a safe place for families, but that airwaves were a unique medium because they're owned and licensed out by the government and therefore within government jurisdiction.
But today's media landscape looks like it's from a different civilization compared to 1970s TV and radio. Much of our radio consumption comes in the form of podcasts or is streamed online. Most Americans now get their television shows via cable providers rather than over the airwaves. Meanwhile, the four national networks have been engulfed by hundreds of specialized cable channels, many with racy themes and explicit content. The boundary-pushing cable atmosphere has also slowly leaked into broadcast programming bringing with it a tolerance for language and plotlines that would have been unthinkable 40 years ago.
"Today there are fewer green-lit shows than at any point in time, perhaps in the history of television," says Tim Winter, President of the Parents Television Council, which rates virtually every show on television by giving it either a green, yellow or red light so parents know if it's safe for children. "We actually had a point this year for the first time ever where there was no original entertainment on primetime broadcast television that was rated green."
Primetime network shows like "Two and a Half Men," "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," "$#*! My Dad Says," and "Hell's Kitchen," often include overly suggestive sexual themes, pixelated nudity and countless incidents of bleeped profanity and would've never even been considered for something like ABC's sugar-coated TGIF lineup in the '90s with shows like Full House and Family Matters. Just briefly consider Full House's "bad boy" Jesse Katsopolis for a second.
Cable has seen a similar shift. For several years, Jersey Shore and all its trashy, profane explosiveness consistently garnered some of the highest ratings on cable for the 12-34 demographic. Even shows like The Sopranos and Sex and the City that were initially aired on premium channels such as HBO can now be found on basic cable, still with most of the sexual references and violence, but merely with the curse words bleeped out.

Marusiak covers easements during Elk County Gas Task Force meeting
Matt Marusiak of Western Pennsylvania Conservancy gave a special presentation on source water protection and conservation easements at Monday's meeting of the Elk County Gas Task Force. Marusiak, a land protection specialist for the conservancy, has an office in Ridgway and a territory that covers the entire 12-county region of the PA Wilds. He has a degree in petrochemical engineering and has worked on the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission and for the planning department of Elk County. "I'm very familiar with the area, so I'm not some guy from Pittsburgh telling you how to do things," Marusiak said. He explained that the Western Pa. Conservancy was founded in 1932 with the purpose of carrying out land stewardship and conservation, watershed conservation, watershed science and natural heritage inventory. The conservancy has protected over 200,000 acres through free acquisition or conservation easements and also works with state and federal agencies for them to acquire land for easement purposes.Marusiak said conservation easements can protect public drinking water sources and other natural resources while providing tax benefits to the landowner. A conservation easement is a permanent legal agreement between a property owner and a public agency or nonprofit conservation organization that restricts use of the land by current and any future owners. The land remains owned by the individual, but residential, industrial, and commercial development and subdivision or activities that could negatively affect land or water sources are prohibited. The agreement stays in place even when the property passes on or is sold to a different owner, and the overseeing agency or trust has the responsibility of enforcing the plan.Marusiak said more municipalities and other entities have been looking at strengthening their source water protection plans in anticipation of the developing Marcellus Shale industry in Pennsylvania and that conservation easements are one way to protect an area's watershed and public water supply. He explained that an easement is flexible and can be modified according to a landowner's needs, and that landowners may continue what are considered "normal" activities such as farming, timbering and even subsurface drilling. If a drilling pad is already on a property, the area can be cut out while developing a conservation easement. Marusiak emphasized that the Western Pa. Conservancy is not an advocacy group either for or against the development of oil and gas, although any land the conservancy owns outright will not be allowed for use in oil and gas development activities. "We believe oil and gas should be done responsibly, but at the end of the day, we believe a landowner should do what he wants to with his property," Marusiak said. He said there can be different protection areas on a conservation of the property, ranging from a more minimal protection area around a residence to more protected areas around streams and wetlands. "We work with the landowner to craft that map and craft those restrictions, and then we execute the conservation easement, where that easement would be part of the deed, it would go with that land forever, so once those restrictions go in, those restrictions go forever," Marusiak said. "Our responsibility would be to forever enforce those restrictions. So it's quite a commitment."Still, he said, the easement can be beneficial to both a landowner and to the general public. "It's a nice balance between the needs of the private landowner and you can do it in a way particularly, when it comes to source water protection, in a way that protects the surface and protects your drinking water."

7 killed in Vadodara buildings collapse, many trapped
At least seven persons were killed and many feared trapped when two three-storey buildings collapsed in Madhavnagar locality in Vadodara district in Gujarat in the wee hours today.india Updated: Aug 28, 2013 14:31 IST
At least seven persons were killed and many feared trapped when two three-storey buildings collapsed in Madhavnagar locality in Vadodara district in Gujarat in the wee hours of Wednesday.
The incident occurred behind Atlandara area around 4.30am when the buildings came crashing down, catching the sleeping occupants unawares, HJ Tapariya, chief fire brigade officer of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation said.
About 14 families were staying in the building.
Manish Bhardwaj, Vadodara Municipal Commissioner, Satish Sharma, city police commissioner and city Mayor Bharat Shah and other senior officials have rushed to the site.
"Rescue and relief operations are in full swing.However, it is difficult to tell the exact number of people trapped under the debris. A few people, including a minor girl, have been rescued from the site so far," Vadodara mayor Bharat Shah said.
Talking to PTI, he said, "I was admitted to hospital and soon after learning about this mishap, I am on my way to the site.
According to Tapariya, about 13 to 14 families were staying there.
While several people are believed to be still trapped under the rubble. The rescue operations are going on in full swing.
Army and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams have arrived to assist the fire brigade in the rescue work.
Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi consoled the death of people while asking the state authorities to conduct the rescue operations to bring out all those trapped inside. He announced compensation of Rs 2 lakh each to the kin of the dead and also ordered constitution of an enquiry commission to probe the incident, officials said.
He also asked the state finance minister Nitin Patel to rush at the spot for monitoring rescue operation launched by Vadodara municipal corporation and national disaster relief force.
Chief minister also announced a relief of Rs two lakh for the kin of the deceased and said an inquiry commission will probe the incident.
"10 persons have been brought out and they recieved some injuries while five dead bodies have also been removed so far," said an official from Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC).
Built for the economically weaker sections by the Vadodara Urban Development Authority (VUDA), the buildings were in dilapidated conditions and locals blamed the poor construction and no maintenance by the authorities.
"We had drawn the attention of authorities like VUDA about the buildings but they paid no heed and now both buildings collapsed as we had feared," local residents told local channels.
The injured have been rushed to SSG hospital for treatment.

Microsoft is working on a number of launch titles for its new Xbox console. One of the first games to launch on the next Xbox will be Ryse, according to multiple sources familiar with Microsoft's Xbox plans. Microsoft originally unveiled Ryse at E3 2011, promising an exclusive Xbox 360 release with Kinect functionality. A release has never materialized for Xbox 360 and the company has remained fairly silent about the title's progress, noting that it was still in development in mid-2012 and again earlier this year. The Verge understands that Crytek, along with Microsoft Studios, has been rewriting the game to take advantage of its next-generation console, due later this year.
"We're told Ryse is designed to be Microsoft's new Gears of War / Halo mega launch title"
hmm, well then I guess there will not be a next Halo or GOW, but this game better be good
Ryse is almost certain, as for Forza I think it will likely be a PGR game. But if its Forza 5 thats one AAA game guaranteed for launch
The 720 news seems to be pouring in, we could be getting close to an official announcement.
Yeah Maria, it does sure seem to be heating up...something must be poppin' soon :)
*Edit ...I only have 2 bubbles (cos I'm radical) soooo....
E3 is gonna be the best its ever been. Prepare to be knocked off your feet, mouth all open, jaw all on the floor...look a cockroach!! Close mouth's quick!!
Wasnt that supposed to be the new Black Tusk Project ? A Studio owned by Microsoft.
So lets see.
Gears of War and Halo will be saved for 2015 or 2016, meanwhile Microsoft will invest in tittle like Ryse, Alan Wake and Black tusk Project, along with Forza of course.
I´m fearing that Halo and Gears will die with this strategy, i mean Cod will keep coming out, many Halo Gamers and Gears for that matter already changed to Cod, it will only get worse.

LEP is a 4-credit hour non-graded program
which enables you to extern with a supervising attorney
in a wide variety of legal areas – private or public,
civil or criminal. Externships are available for the Fall,
Spring and Summer semesters. Some public sector externships

Why Extern?
To become a good lawyer and to supplement
what you learn in the classroom, you need practical experience

enough to receive a paid clerking position — or even a
volunteer opportunity — that teaches what they want to
learn. LEP presents a unique and important opportunity
to gain exposure to an area of the law in which you are
interested and helps you significantly broaden your future
employment opportunities.
Students interested in civil law may extern
in a wide variety of places. For example, some have externed
at the City of Chicago Corporation Counsel's Office, Office
of the Illinois Attorney General, Illinois Commerce Commission,
Immigration Court of the U.S. Department of Justice, Internal
Revenue Service, and Environmental Protection Agency,
as well approved in-house corporate legal counsel.
Students interested in criminal law have
externed at the US Attorney's Office, the Office of the
Federal Defender, and at the offices of the State's Attorney
and Public Defender in Cook County as well as the surrounding

Full Day Diesel Driving Experience
Approx duration 7 hours
Friday 13th July 2018 - £350.00 per Participant
For those interested in diesel locomotives, we are able to offer Diesel Driving Experiences using one of our heritage fleet of diesel electric locomotives.
There is nothing quite like the sound and power of a diesel locomotive in full cry! Thanks to our steeply graded line, 1 in 60 at its steepest, you can drive a diesel locomotive in the manner it was designed for.
What's included:
• A safety briefing before the session commences.
• Tour of the locomotive engine room.
• Travel in the cab, driving or as second man, for 20 miles.
• Only six participants per experience.
• Accommodation for up to 3 guests who travel in the carriages behind the locomotive.
• Opportunities for photographs.
• A certificate as a memento of your experience.
Starting at 10am at Alton station, you will be in control of one of our main line Diesel Electric locomotives hauling a train of carriages along the full length of our steeply graded line.
Under the expert instruction of our highly experienced crew, you will be paired with another participant to take turns as both driver and second man during the day, completing a total of 10 miles in each role.
When not acting as the driver or second man, participants will be required to ride in the carriages with the Guard and their guests. A lunch is provided for the participant in the West Country Buffet at Alresford station. Guests are welcome to join participants but will need to purchase their own refreshments.
All dates and times are subject to availability.
* Be aged over 18 years.
* Be reasonably fit and in good health - fit enough to climb on and off the locomotive from ground level unaided.
* Wear old clothing, engine rooms are not the cleanest of places!
* Wear sturdy shoes / boots that protect your feet - trainers are definately not permitted.
* We can provide overalls, but they must be pre-ordered. You can bring your own if you wish but please do not wear red or green.
* Not attend the experience under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Please note that the Mid Hants Railway reserves the right to reschedule a driving experience if the minimum number of 4 participants booked on a specific day is not reached, or for any other reason.
Guests of participants on this experience are subject to simple insurance indemnity requirements and for safety reasons any children must be over 2 years of age and will remain the responsibility of an accompanying adult at all times.
Guests should be prepared to sign an indemnity form accepting any risk to themselves should an incident occur whilst the train is being driven by a 'learner driver'. Any children will need to be included on the form signed by an accompanying adult.
Diesel locomotives will be used from the current fleet available. The Company does not guarantee that the trains will arrive or depart at the times stated and reserves the right to cancel, alter or suspend any train without notice, or to substitute a different train should this be necessary for whatever reason.

Top-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia ousted Blaz Kavcic 6-3, 7-6 (5) on Friday to set up a Zagreb Indoors semifinal against defending champion Mikhail Youzhny of Russia.
Cilic is a two-time winner in his home event but missed last year's tournament with an injury. He broke Kavcic twice in the opening set to take an early lead and then traded breaks with the Slovenian in the second before prevailing in the tiebreaker.
"It was really great until 5-0 in the first set, I felt great on court," Cilic said. "He served better in the second set and it caused me problems ... but not so much as to force the third set."
Kavcic said Cilic "did not make a single mistake during the first set."
"If he keeps on playing like that, there is no doubt who will win the title," Kavcic said.
Youzhny reached the semifinals of the event for the third time by defeating Croatia's Ivan Dodig 6-3, 6-2 after never facing a break point in the match. The third-seeded Youzhny broke for a 4-2 lead in the first set and then raced ahead 4-0 in the second.
"It was a good match for me, I played well and I like atmosphere here," Youzhny said. "I can't say this is the best surface ... but when I am in Moscow at home I practice indoors a lot, and I am used to the conditions like this."
Earlier, fourth-seeded Jurgen Melzer of Austria earned the 300th tour win of his career to set up a semifinal against Robin Haase of the Netherlands.
Melzer defeated Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, while Haase ousted Philipp Petzschner of Germany 6-4, 3-6, 6-0.
Melzer jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first set and saved four of the five break points he faced in the second, winning the last three games to seal the victory.
Haase served 11 aces and broke Petzschner seven times, while saving nine of the 12 break points.

Juniper's Jaunty Pink Nursery
Name: Juniper (10 months)
Location: Palos Heights, IL
I was 7 months pregnant and on bed rest when we moved into our small Cape Cod home. Decorating was a bit of a challenge, but I was not going to let our little peanut keep us from getting her room ready!
We wanted the space to be a collection of things that have meaning to our family and, of course, to be sweet, girly and fun!
Source List:
• Jenny Lind crib: estate sale. My husband and I found our Jenny Lind crib at an estate sale for a whopping $40.00. I saw a previous nursery on Ohdeedoh with a bright red Jenny Lind crib and loved how it turned out so we went for it.
• Blanket & bed skirt: Juniper's Auntie Lexie and Auntie Mary made the beautifully crocheted blanket and bed skirt with love.
• Child's ladder: Monster Rummage, Ripon, WI. The old children's bunk ladder was picked up for $10.00 at an antique store in WI. I just drilled in some hanging hardware on the back to make it into a little wall shelf.
• Paint color: Benjamin Moore Cotton Candy 1268. I love any red and pink combo so I was so excited to implement it into her nursery.
• Dresser: We found the long mid century dresser at a thrift store and just cleaned it up a bit and painted the hardware.
• Cross-stitch artwork: My late grandmother, who was a big part of my upbringing, made the framed cross-stitch artwork. She had them hanging in my nursery and would tell me stories about one item in the cross-stitch before each nap. The frames and picture rail are from IKEA. The one hanging alone by the window is the original frame painted white.
• Rocking chairs: The rockers are both refinished antique rockers. The blue one was actually the first thing we picked for our nursery. We picked it up for $20.00 at a thrift store and painted it and then used a shower curtain that had a twig motif on it for the upholstery fabric. I wanted something durable, water resistant, and something that paid homage to my daughter's name. My mom bought me the yellow rocker a few months after Juniper was born. She found it at an antique store and couldn't pass it up. We painted the frame yellow.
• Grey pouf: CB2
• Chalkboard: The chalkboard is actually just painted on the wall, and then I used a discarded frame for the outline.
• Square wall shelves: Target. Scrapbook paper is from the Amy Butler collection.
• White bookcase: Expedit from IKEA. Baskets from Land of Nod
• Juniper name: Land of Nod
• Birdcage lamp: painted from a thrift store and replaced shade
• Book rails: spice racks from IKEA
• Curtains on windows: Urban Outfitters
• Closet curtain: Land of Nod
• Pillows: The orange and cream one is from Target, the blue and brown one is from the dollar store (Can you believe it?!), and the octagon pillow is vintage from a thrift store.
Thanks, Emily! Readers, see more of Emily's work on her site, Emily Haan Design.

I've been experimenting with some more traditional dressings, and I found that this light buttermilk dressing based on a cooking light recipe really hit the spot and complimented grilled mushrooms perfectly. I hope you enjoy it!

Combine seasoning mix, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a tiny container. Whisk and baste portobello mushroom with vinaigrette. Grill on propane grill or grilling device. Slice and reserve.
Whisk together dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
Layer portobello mushroom strips on salad and veggies. Drizzle individual servings with dressing and enjoy!

The first word many people uttered when they heard Sam Taylor-Johnson's name Wednesday in connection with "Fifty Shades of Grey" was: "Who?"
The next sentence was: "This will be interesting."
As my colleague Nicole Sperling reports, Taylor-Johnson has been chosen as the director of the erotic drama, which author E.L. James is heavily involved with, working alongside the producers of the "Social Network," Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti, and executives at Universal Pictures and Focus Features.
The Hollywood types all have pretty deep reputations. Taylor-Johnson? She isn't widely known in filmmaking circles. She made a coming-of-age John Lennon movie called "Nowhere Boy" that played the festivals a few years back. If you know more than a few people who've seen it, you have more film-nerd friends than you realize.
She is, however, known for being an acclaimed visual artist -- she's won Britain's acclaimed Turner Prize -- which plays into the belief that Focus and, in particular, James, want this to be a tonier version of a sub-and-dom story (see under: Oscar-nominated "Social Network" producers), not the Cinemax edition. Still, it remains to be seen which actors will be willing to take the plunge with a relatively untested director.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
Taylor-Johnson also attracted plenty of tabloid attention for marrying Aaron Johnson, her much-younger (by about two decades) star of "Nowhere Boy," with the two having a child when he was 20 and she was 43. Already the speculation has begun about a potential place for Johnson in the movie, as either Christian Grey (at 23, he's just four years younger than the domineering hero) or another character. I've never met Taylor-Johnson, but it's hard to imagine any director wanting to bring that kind of drama to the set. With all the fan interest, a "Fifty Shades" movie is already enough of a hot house.
But even if the young actor stays far away, there will be intrigue. This is, after all, a movie about a taboo relationship directed by a woman who, at least to some minds, was involved in same. That might come up in an interview.

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well.

Hey thanks :) I tried to make my own pattern but it was rather wonky looking. I can't wait to make one!ReplyDelete
Glad you guys like it!ReplyDelete
I just discovered your blog too, through Tipnut. I'd love to make and use these, but I must admit I'm reluctant because I use the plastic bag to keep them from going limp in the fridge. How do you store your produce once you get it home?ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone!ReplyDelete
@ Jan: I usually use my produce pretty quick, so I just keep them in the bags and toss them in the fridge. And with lemons and apples and such I keep them in a tiered hanging basket.
@ Toria: I had someone ask me that very same question when I made the first bag and posted it on here. You can find the amswer here in the comments:
Ooh this is great! I would love to link to this if you didn't mind.ReplyDelete
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing and would you pop on over to my blog linking party Sunday thru Tues and share this (and more if you like)? Hope to see you there!ReplyDelete
I made a produce bag today and it turned out great!!! I am more of a knitter than crochet but this was fantastic! I wanted to post a pic but I dont know how :) Thanks a bunch!ReplyDelete
I think it would work fine to make the chins longer, though you may also want to add a couple more increase rows. I would say increase until the net barely comes halfway up the ball and then start going straight. I would love to see it if it works!
- Anonymous9:01 AM
Thanks for sharing this pattern--love it! As for the cost of the added weight: our local grocery store has a weigh station in the produce department. Just weigh the produce sans bag, print the ticket and then bag your produce--the ticket will stick to the bag and will be easy to remove.ReplyDelete
- Pam11:04 PM
I love your pattern. I made one and then I altered the pattern to make it a little larger, just by adding one more increasing round. I changed the yarn color through the sides, then added three more rounds and finished the handles with the starting yarn color. I'm so excited that I started another one!ReplyDelete
- Stefani1:08 PM
I made this bag this week in my free time and it turned out great! The best part is it doesn't use much yarn, so I was able to use some leftover 100% cotton that was left from another project. I hate waste, so project that use what I already have are the best. Thanks for posting the pattern!!ReplyDelete
I'm a beginner in crochet and I find it easy to follow your patern in the begining because of the picture. I'd like to see how you do the finishing in picture please.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much
This is a very great idea
This would be awesome to make from "plarn"-plastic yarn made from recycling shopping bags by cutting them into strips and connecting them together! *sigh* Now I'll have to pull up the YouTube plarn video again! LOLReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:55 AM
I love this patten and have made it once, but then, starting my second one, noticed that I had made the first one incorrectly, because it says you need to chain 3 and attach it to the 4th chain at the end of the round... This part really does not make sense to me, I've tried to figure it out. Why not just chain 7 like normal? It makes for a very strange ladder rung in the pattern. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.ReplyDelete
Hi Sarah!ReplyDelete
Indeed, this step does make a seam-like line down the back of the bag, but the reason this happens is because the previous round ends in the center of a scallop of chain. If you really don't like the way the seam looks, a good alternative method is to slip stitch into the next "petal" f chain until you reach the center, then just chain 7 and attach to the center of the next "petal". Hope that helps and thanks so much for the great question!
At the end of rnd 16, how many sc should I have? If I did my math correctly, 96? And I sc in each ch from previous rnd, not the sl st, correct?ReplyDelete
Sorry, it does seem very simple but I'm just used to patterns that note # of stitches in brackets at end of each row/rnd. (#)
Thanks, it's looking good so far :) Just doing a trial, all I had was acrylic yarn.

A Forum Club program on the proposed Hardeeville casino-resort drew more than 350 Sun City residents to Magnolia Hall on Friday.
Hardeeville City Manager Bob Nanni and Ted Felder, the project consultant with Felder Associates, made the presentation about the partnership between the SB Investment of Myrtle Beach, Stratford Land of Dallas and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.
The data in the presentation was tabulated by Marquette Advisors, International Hospitality and Gaming Consultants who have been involved in the planning and development of more than 30 casino-resorts around the country.
Some of the points made in the presentation was that
70 percent of the casino-resort guests would be from out of state, people would drive up to three hours or 180 miles to visit a casino and there are five casinos within that range of the Hardeeville community.
The partners plan to bring a Four Diamond 400-room hotel, 18-hole golf course and casino resort to Hardeeville. The project is slated to be built on a portion of what is currently Hilton Head Lakes North and has received unanimous support from officials in Jasper County and Hardeeville. Part of the resort will have a 1,500-2,000 seat convention center for multi-purpose events, including trade shows and exhibits of a size currently unsupported by any facility in the area. Planned restaurants will include a buffet, upscale steakhouse, ethnic restaurant, 24-hour cafe and a food court with several quick services selections.
Nanni told attendees that the creation of the $300-$500 million construction project could generate as many jobs as BMW, Boeing, Amazon and Michelin have done elsewhere in the state.
There are an estimated 10,780 unemployed workers in the Lowcountry. Nanni said the project would have 3,850 jobs, 2,250 on the casino-resort premises and the rest throughout the state.
The project would also have an estimated statewide financial impact - just in employee compensation - of $184 million. Of that, $92 million would be to employees. The federal government would garner $15.7 million in Federal Income Tax and South Carolina would receive $8.4 million in State Income Tax. Social Security would receive an estimated $17.4 million, with another $4 million going to Medicare.
Statewide sales tax revenues are estimated to be $20.3 million, with $14.2 million going to the Lowcountry.
Because it is a federal project and falls under the Federal Indian Gaming Act, Gov. Nikki Haley will have to sign off on it, but it will not require any state legislative action.
Project proponents hope to speak with Haley before the end of May although no date has been set.

Former Premier League star Nigel Reo-Coker scored possibly the best goal of his career this week for MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps.
The ex-West Ham, Aston Villa and Bolton player has shown he still has the talent that won him over 200 top-flight appearances.
The 29-year-old, who moved to America in February after leaving English Championship side Ipswich Town, managed to run nearly the entire length of the pitch before smashing the ball between the legs of the Seattle Sounders' keeper.
The former England under-21 international, who is team-mates with Scotland star striker Kenny Miller, scored the final goal in his side's 4-1 win over Clint Dempsey's Seattle.
Watch the stunning run and goal above.

text: A week or so ago I welded the frame of the back of the car, as you can see in the picture (the I-shaped structure next to the identical front of the car). The ends of the "I" - which the A-Arms connect to, had bent inwards when they had been welded to, decreasing the distance by almost a quarter of an inch on each of the four corners. I fixed this in the only way I could think of, pounding them as hard as I could with a monkey wrench. I then ground down the metal that rotates with the A-Arms (and fits between the ends of the I) to fit just right. I also went to Home Depot to get some more tubing for bushings, and some more supplies. I got new pins for the axles, but they did not fit, and neither Home Depot nor NAPA Auto Supplies had the nylon washers or ratchet adapters I needed.


text: I hate the way Microsoft is forcing programmer's attention away from VC++. I mean discontinuing MCSD C++ tracks, Almost all MSDN magazine is bout .net, taking full advantage of the new OSs by using .net APIs. Most of the headlines now are about .net. It is true that web development through ASP.net is powerful, but I am still a firm believer in C++ Desktop applications. I favor C++ and do not favor .net at all. (Maybe, this way, I will never get a job at Microsoft). I think if Microsoft put more effort in VC++, it will be a very attractive tool even for novice programmers. i.e. If there is a better dialog designer for C++ similar in a way to VB designer or VS.net designer, things will be much better. But for me, I create wonderful large-scale applications using VC++, OLEDB ATL classes and I get flexible, fast and compact exe. The latest was Foreign Currency Exchange System.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – A pair of stellar pitching performances led the Barton Bulldogs past the Coker Cobras 4-3 and 8-1 in their Conference Carolinas baseball double-header on Saturday afternoon. Kramer Sneed went the distance in the first game for Barton, while John Anderson threw a complete game two hitter in game number two. The wins improve the Bulldogs to 17-17 on the year and 8-9 in the conference, while Coker falls to 17-17 overall and 8-12 in conference play.
In game one Barton scored four runs in the first inning to open the game and that would be all the lead Sneed would need to secure the win. Sneed (5-2) held the Cobras to just three runs, all unearned, while giving up just seven hits with three strikeouts. All three of Coker's runs came in the seventh inning.
Coker starter Michael Rogers (Florence, S.C.) (2-3) was tagged with the loss after giving up four runs on five hits in one inning on the mound. Tyler Witzel (West Melbourne, Fla.) was lights out for Coker in relief. Witzel shut down the Bulldogs in eight innings of relief, allowing only four hits, no runs, while striking out five.
Trey Lynch (Florence, S.C.) and Jordan Buenting (Ankeny, Iowa) each had two hits for the Cobras, with Lynch scoring a run and hitting a double. Brinley Griffin (Port St. John, Fla.) had a triple and Drew Hardee (Rock Hill, S.C.) drove in a run.
Barton's Wesley Francis was the only Bulldog with multiple hits, going 2-for-5, while Aaron Watkins and Braxton Lewis each drove in and scored a run. Phillip Williams also had a pair of RBIs for Barton.
The game two spotlight belonged to Anderson and his ability to silence the Cobra offense. Anderson (4-2) threw five innings of no hit baseball before Matt Ammons (Chester, S.C.) drove a single into left field, one of just two Coker hits allowed by the Bulldog hurler. Anderson finished the game with just one run allowed, in seven innings of work, allowing two hits with three strikeouts.
Matt Long (Florence, S.C.) (8-3) took the loss, allowing seven runs on eight hits in four innings on the hill for Coker.
Ammons and Trevin Taber (Chesnee, S.C.) had the only hits for the Cobras, with Taber's hit being a double.
Sam Pepper and Ryan Daughtry each had two hits and an RBI for Barton, while Williams drove in another two runs with a triple. Chris Rawlings also had a triple with an RBI and a run scored, with Watkins finishing the second game 2-for-4 with two runs scored.
Coker and Barton will complete their three game series on Sunday afternoon with game number three starting at noon. The start time was originally scheduled for 1:00 p.m., but due to the threat of rain, the start time has been pushed up one hour.

Doug Collins often talks about players making the most of their opportunities. He says that a player is a sprained ankle away from getting minutes.
In Lavoy Allen's case, it was a strained Achilles and strained knee/quad away.
Those were the injuries that kept Spencer Hawes and Nikola Vucevic sidelined. So Allen played a career high 17:26, scored 10 points and hit all five field goal attempts in Monday's 103-83 win over the Washington Wizards.
"How about Lavoy Allen," coach Doug Collins said after the game. What a coming out party for Lavoy tonight."
Collins then made an interesting observation about Allen.
"It's one of the first times I've seen him really smile and really see his personality."
Even though he's a rookie, the Temple product wants to get on the court like any other player.
"It's felt great," he said. "Any kind of minutes I get I am grateful for, and with Spencer and Nik out I knew I was going to play some good minutes."
They truly were good minutes.
Collins talked afterwards about the rap on Allen entering the NBA, how he has all the talent, but that everybody said his motor was often stalled.
There was no stalling in his longest appearance as a professional. He had two five-minute cameos and then played nine minutes when Vucevic was hurt during Saturday's loss at Miami.
Whether his performance earned him minutes when the Sixers are healthy remains to be seen.
Right now, the team is not healthy at center so Allen has a chance to make quite an impresson.
"This really boosted my confidence," he said.
And maybe his future minutes total as well.

DeLand High quarterback Coleton Robinson has verbally committed to Wofford College.
DELAND, Fla. — DeLand High quarterback Coleton Robinson has verbally committed to Wofford College.
"(Wofford) is awesome," Robinson said. "The campus is beautiful. Everything about it is nice."
Robinson (6-foot, 175 pounds) accounted for 1,884 yards — 1,486 passing, 398 rushing — and nine touchdowns for DeLand in 2012. He said Wofford, which went 9-4 and went to the second round of the FCS playoffs in 2012, was his only offer.
Despite his offensive output for the Bulldogs this season, Robinson said the Terriers want him to play cornerback.
"Wherever they think is best," he said. "I am going to try to get myself on the field no matter where I'm at."
Al Manning, DeLand's interim head coach in 2012, said he believes Robinson will excel no matter where the Terriers put him.
"He did such a great job for us," Manning said. "He really kind of stepped it up and did well at quarterback. I'm happy for him.
"He is able to play a number of positions. He could play H-back or quarterback in (the Terriers' triple-option offense). But I think they want him as a defensive back, and he should be good there. There are a number of things he can do as an athlete."
Verbal commitments from athletes and verbal offers from colleges are non-binding agreements. National Signing Day (Feb. 6) is the first day that senior high school football players can make their college decisions official by signing a binding letter of intent.

Organizing Kick Start: Simple Ways To Get Started
They say that outer order can contribute to inner calm, so for the sake of mental health, try some of these simple ways to get a little bit more organized — not totally change your life organized — but have an easier time of find your keys organized.
• Start At The Beginning: and organize your landing strip.
• Medicine Cabinet and other Small Spaces: Start small and with spaces you use all the time. This post has great tips for organizing your medicine cabinet and junk drawer.
• Keep a Household Calender: Whether it's on the computer or a physical one (we love the one pictured from Mibo — you can print it out!) having a calendar and using it is one of the best things I ever started to do. It was obvious but I didn't always keep up with it.
• Laundry: I'm currently missing a hamper, so you can only imagine the chaos happening on the floor of the closet! Get laundry organized following the inspiration and tips in this post.
• Uniform Hangers: A simple trick to organize the closet is to buy all the same kind of hanger (we love the wood ones from IKEA). In the process of re-hanging things, you can purge what you havent worn and also start the Abby System for weeding them out.
• Pegboard: Pegboard is a great tool for organizing the kitchen, the office or the garage/storage. If you have a bunch of loose items lying around or in drawers mixed together, consider pegboarding it all.
• Store the Right Things: In your closet, determine what you use least (but still use) and store it up high. Off the ground, not on a hanger, up up up.
• Hooks: In the bathroom for towels, in the kitchen, in the bedroom for clothes, by the door for keys, hooks are awesome.
• Buy Same Colored Organizing Supplies: This was one of our all time favorite tips from Benita Larsson of Chez Larsson — she buys all white boxes and magazine holders and bins and jars. This way no matter what the size, everything has a uniform look and keeps it looking very organized.
• Label Stuff: Group like things together in boxes, jars, canisters, etc. and slap a label on them. Office supplies, bathroom essentials, pantry items. You will feel more sane knowing where things are in clearly labeled containers.
• Get Motivated: Check out this post to help motivate yourself to take the small steps you need to build some momentum!

The Ella C. White Memorial Scholarship Fund, one of the oldest scholarship organizations on Hilton Head Island, will have its annual fundraising dinner on Nov. 2 at the Sonesta Resort on Hilton Head Island. The affair begins with a reception, including cash bar, at 6:30 p.m. followed by a dinner program at 7:30 p.m. The theme for this year's event is "40 Years of Empowering Students." Tickets for the dinner are $65.
The keynote speaker for the dinner is Tonea Stewart, a professional actress and Dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Alabama State University.
As an actress, Stewart is perhaps best known for her recurring role of Miss Etta Kibbee in "In the Heat of the Night." She earned an NAACP Image Award for her role in the film adaptation of John Grisham's "A Time to Kill" and the Gold Medal Award for narration of Public Radio Internationals' Series, "Remembering Slavery."
Stewart began her acting career in 1969 and became the first African American to direct and appear on stage at New Stage Theatre, the most prestigious equity theatre in Mississippi. Since then, she has directed major museum exhibitions such as the Rosa Parks Museum, African American Museum of Philadelphia and The International Civil Rights Museum.
Now in its 40th year, the Ella C. White Memorial Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to graduating seniors at Hilton Head High School and Bluffton High School. The fund is named in memory of a teacher who strongly influenced students in our community to pursue higher education and achieve their dreams. The scholarship fund has awarded more than 695 scholarships totaling over $592,000.
For tickets to the dinner or more information, call Carolyn Grant at 422-0707 or 784-8142 or Carol Campbell at 681-5056 or 684-1644.

NBN Co still on budget, CEO claims
Won't cost $AU90 billion
While avoiding direct political comment on the federal opposition's fibre-to-the-node plans, NBN Co CEO Mike Quigley has told the parliamentary Joint Committee on the National Broadband Network he believes the project will still be able to meet its $37.4 billion capital budget.
Quigley told the committee there's "no reason to change the forecast", adding that the capex budget includes several billion of contingency funds which he says NBN Co has not yet needed to touch.
With FSAM build data now available – in spite of the rollout delays announced earlier this year – Quigley said NBN Co now finds that the per-premise cost of connection for the 138 FSAMs completed or under construction is falling within the range of $AU1,100 to $AU1,400 per premises (at the connection level) and a total per-premises cost of $AU2,400.
"We are not going to stop here," Quigley told the committee. "We are going to continue to work to drive these costs lower."
The latest connection rate to the NBN continues to show a skew towards higher-speed services, with Quigley announcing that 31 percent of customers are taking the 100 Mbps service compared to 39 percent on the 12 Mbps service, and most of the remainder on 25 Mbps services.
Quigley noted that government policy could, if altered, put the company under an obligation to use "basement fibre" on suitable multi-dwelling units. However, both he and NBN Co CTO Gary McLaren warned against inflated expectations for such a policy, because many Australian MDUs are of town-house rather than high-rise style, and lack a central telecommunications hub (MDF or main distribution frame).
Under questioning, McLaren stated that VDSL-based MDU delivery would not allow customers to achieve the gigabit speeds which the company announced today will be added to its available wholesale plans (the plan announcement is here).
Without identifying the coalition document, Quigley was also critical of ARPU forecasts that assume a tripling of NBN Co ARPU, noting that the starting ARPU of $22 per user per month is an artificially-low figure.
That figure, Quigley said, is "an artefact of a very small base of subscribers in the early years, so you end up with an ARPU that is misleading. The lowest possible price – for the AVC – is $AU24. You can't really start with an ARPU of $AU22."
The real customer ARPU now, he said, is $AU38.
Another key aspect of the coalition's "$AU90 billion NBN" assertion, that delayed completion would dramatically increase the funding requirement, was also cold-watered. COO Robin Payne told the committee that a two-year delay should reduce the NBN's peak funding requirement, "because we would be spending capex after we've gone cashflow-positive." ®
