NEVERTHRONERS! To your #got bunkers! This is going to be a rough one!
Someday I may get excited about the Amazon Kindle, but it still hasn't happened yet.
Over at StarterTech I wrote up about how the Amazon Kindle 2 Got Official on Monday, but I tried to keep my general personal opinions out of that article. In general I just don't get the excitement over the device, and over the weekend I recorded a video cast with Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins about "Kindle 2.0: Is It the iPod for Books Yet?". I have embedded it below for easy viewing, but essentially I take the line that I think the Kindle is a bit silly compared to the iPod, and in no way as an essential piece of every day life.
As I say in the video, I just don't see the point to the Kindle. It's a nice concept, but at $359, it's just too expensive. They boast about how the new Kindle 2 can carry up to 1500 books in its 2GB memory, but do you really need to carry around 1500 books with you? Yes, the same argument can be made about an iPod, but you can use your iPod as you work, the Kindle not so much. An iPod you can put on shuffle play, want to try reading random pages from books on the Kindle? There is also these concepts called the library and used book stores where you can either check books out for free, or buy them incredibly cheap.
I also have the problem with the idea where they show people sitting around outside, or on subways, reading their Kindles. iPods you can hide under your clothes you use them, you can even disguise the earbuds and no one will know you're using it. With a Kindle, you care holding a high end gadget in plain sight, just asking for someone to rip it from your hands or mug you for it. Now, if you have a tattered paperback in your hands… you get the idea. Never mind the fact you can use an iPod as you walk/run/exercise… try that with a Kindle.
I really have nothing against the device or other ebook readers, but it just isn't for me, and I don't quite understand the market demographic. Amazon reportedly sold 500,000 units last year, but I would love to know the demographics of who these people were. Besides the $359 they are laying out for a special reader, they are laying out $10 on average per book. In this economic climate, who can afford this thing?
As Mark said in the video, the iPod solved an actual problem, the Kindle solves a problem no one realized even existed. I'm afraid you'll have to leave me in the unconvinced column.

"It is necessary, with proud aspirations, to try to carry out this great work so that this university is one of the foremost of the world… My golden dream is to see in Madrid, created during my reign and for the good of our country's culture, a university renowned for being a model educational center."
King Alfonso XIII
Before the Construction Board of the Ciudad Universitaria (University-City)
(Madrid, Spain June 1, 1927)
The publication in English of Pablo Campos Calvo-Sotelo's The Journey of Utopia: The Story of the First American-Style Campus in Europe provides American readers the opportunity to explore a striking instance of the influence of North American high culture on that of Europe, rather than the reverse current that we have long regarded as the norm. This cultural exchange involved the adoption of the North American university campus as a model for new European institutions in the early twentieth century.
The government of Spain sent a committee of experts to the United States and Canada to evaluate the design effectiveness of fifteen institutions of higher learning as paradigms for the new universities of Spain.
Some three-quarters of a century after that survey took place the author retraced the journey of that committee in America order to write his history of their work. His book, having established him as the leading authority on his subject, has not only won prestigious awards but also put him in position to receive the commission to design a wholly new campus for the University of Salamanca. He has, then, not only contemplated and analyzed his subject but he is also contributing to its continuing history.

In noting the rise of distance learning possibilities, however, I think it essential to reinforce Pablo Campos' recognition of the powerful role that a campus, with buildings for classrooms, laboratories, libraries and student residence halls, plays in the life of a university. Here I must note that earlier this year, Dr. Pablo Campos presented his master plan for the Villamayor Campus of the University of Salamanca. It is not surprising that the New York Chapter Committee on Architecture for Education of the American Institute of Architects, which sponsored the presentation, recognized Dr. Pablo Campos "for his research into the impact of university environments on both the learning process and surrounding urban communities."
It was most appropriate then that in March 2003, it was at the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center, in Washington Square, that Dr. Pablo Campos presented his first, Spanish, edition of his book. Indeed, NYU was one of the several universities that the Commission of Investigation visited in 1927. That "The Journey of Utopia" describes a venture inspired by King Alfonso XIII, grandfather of King Juan Carlos I, is particularly meaningful to me.
For all these reasons, then, I salute Pablo Campos on his pioneering study and trust that it will spark still further ties between and among universities in Canada, Latin America, the United States and Spain.
John Brademas
President Emeritus

A Transcendental Journey
I have here an excellent book, the fruit of research that was indispensable for learning in depth about the origin of one of the most important urban and cultural endeavors in the Spanish society of the twentieth century. The pages of this book study the trip that was made to the United States of America in 1927 in order to see the most modern university and hospital centers with the purpose of adopting those models that could serve for the construction of the future University-City of Madrid.
The author of this dense and synthesized volume, the architect Pablo Campos Calvo-Sotelo, whose Doctoral Thesis addressed the architecture and urban planning of Spanish universities, is a passionate and enthusiastic researcher of this little studied topic. There is nobody better than Pablo Campos Calvo-Sotelo to reconstruct, by way of a very detailed analysis of the existing documentation, and then, by repeating he himself, that same aged itinerary that the four members of the Construction Board of the University-City of Madrid had traveled over two months around the North American territory. The product could not be any more positive and exciting for anyone curious about the components of what the Board called a "scientific pilgrimage".
Antonio Bonet Correa
Director of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando
Journeying the journeys
Architects have always needed to travel. The exploration of everything architectural implies recognizing in situ or discovering on one's own, without outside influences or biased suppression, the complex reality that makes architecture comprehensible along with its causes.
In all true journeys, the architect renews and reconsiders what he perhaps knew by intuition, but had overlooked.
One must take those journeys.
What Pablo Campos discovers and describes to us is the journey of a group of scientists and an architect. And it is worthwhile to read it, or to take the trip again, like an architect
The intuitive search of a formal model represented in the American campuses undertaken by the traveling protagonists of the journey that Pablo Campos narrates, hazily pursued an idea sponsored by Alfonso XIII bounded by immediate interests of trying to promote a better future for his country with a university conceived as an ideal city. The utopia.
In 2002, we, the readers of this book by Pablo Campos, could recall that journey of 1927, guided by its 'reconstructor'. And with him, we follow the adventure of rediscovering their intentions, of imagining the accumulation of experiences of those professors that were searching for an ideal for the Spanish university.

Architecture, Knowledge, and Utopia
I can testify not only Pablo Campos´ belonging to the dedicated sect of the utopia but also that he professes in it with the most serious level of responsibility and commitment: that of master or apostle of humanizing knowledge.
I hope to have touched upon with these words some of the threads of this profound book, which reveals itself- and its one of its charms- so polished and brilliant on the surface, but ends up putting us, smoothly and courteously before a not so pleasing mirror. The protagonists of this great example, from its promoter, King Alfonso XIII, to those members of the expedition in search of "the City of Knowledge", without forgetting the chronicler, Pablo Campos, all of them embarked on this episode of the journey, that never ends, of utopia. They deserve that active and responsible form of gratitude that consists in following their example, in converting us into travel companions on their trip towards a better world and humanity, in other words, more humane.

"Furious 7" Countdown: Edmund's ten best cars
So we're three days away from the premiere of "Fast and the Furious 7" or "Furious 7" or "If The Plot Ain't Broke Don't Fix It," which marks not only the last appearance by late star Paul Walker, but the franchise introduction of Jason "The Transporter" Statham and more inexplicable chases that make no sense.

Da Buzz is coming back ?
It's been a while since the swedish dance group Da buzz they haven't gotten anything new. But last week Per Lidén and lead-singer Annika Thörnquist posted a news on their twitter account about a surprise for their fans.
What kind of surprise i thinks is one that involves music. Da Buzz is one of the most popular swedish dance groups with a career spanning seven years, five albums, and 15 hit singles.
In 2009 they announced that will take a break and in 2010 came with a new single "U Gotta Dance" who was the theme of swedish tv show Let's Dance.
The team revealed their new single Can You Feel The Love that will be released worldwide under Sunrize Records.
On the Radio
Jenny Marsala aka Novaspace came with a new single called "On the radio", it's a tribute to her music mentor and disco legend Donna Summer who died a few days ago by cancer.
The song like a said it's a cover after Donna's single realesed in '79, and Jenny gave a new sound to that song, and will be released on June 15th, more details here.
Da Buzz next single will be called "Got this feeling" the tune will be available soon on all digital megastores(eurokdj.com)

Music scandals and Da Buzz
Recently i read the article from scandikpop about Da Buzz and Cascada, it's so easy to judge when you're stay away in a chair and just listen music ... i get it if you scream may be heard !? or in this case read! it's so simple to judge when you're not involved in the creation of the songs... and everyone now is Perez Hilton but the sad part Perez in the end was "resolved" by The Black Eye Peas ;-)
I don't take any parts but i know how hardly is to promote songs when radios is closing doors in nose if you don't pay them to promote your track or how hard is to get it if you don't have an army of PR's and managers who are doing the work and think at you as a product not as an artist, so what if Cascada copied Gaga style also and Rihanna copied her, but let me tell you dear jurnalist that you are just take Cascada ,Annika Thörnquist or September and let them sing live near Madonna & Lady Gaga... and would see what is my point of view..
Anyway Annika Thörnquist aka Da Buzz came back with a new remix of "U Gotta Dance", the single who has Da buzz sound and was released on itunes.
The track was release in the way to promote the new show from swedish television TV4 called "Let's Dance" where Annika will compete with Alexander Rybak (ESC winner) more details here.
Annika is back on track with "U gotta dance"..

I don't usually post twice in a day, but I'm incensed. So, here we go.
TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNINGS: rape, sexual assault/abuse, gaslighting, and rape culture; cancer is mentioned in the first link
Dear Spectators,
This age we live in allows for news to travel with the click of a button. This quick sharing means that the distance from a big celebrity to me isn't that great. We're almost live-streaming scandal at this point. Social media, digital news outlets, "outing", and endless feminist struggles paved the way for Weinstein to finally be brought down. (Not that his downfall is complete.) And now, other sexual predators are toppling.
Yesterday, yet another rapist was outed. In case you missed it, Kristina Cohen accused Ed Westwick of raping her three years ago. As soon as the post and following articles popped up, the onslaught of total bullshit began: "Why didn't she speak out sooner?" and "She's making it up for money" and "[crying emoji] [heartbreak emoji]" and "Not Chuck Bass!!1!" If people weren't tearing down Cohen, they were crying about Westwick.
I'm not going to get into blaming survivors for not speaking out or why survivors don't give a shit about their abusers' money. If you think rape survivors would, after years of gaslighting and trauma, finally speak out about their abuse just for money or attention — get the hell away from me and do some reading. (And don't @ me with "It's happened before!!" because, yeah Chadbro Lite™, I get that. There are over 7 billion people on the planet. All outcomes are possible. The likelihood that someone is lying about this? Slim.)
What I do want to talk to you about, fellow spectator, is mourning the rapist.

Carolyn Stanley writes some good edtech tips on her blog: The Evolving Classroom. Her post begins after the ~~~~~~ and is in RED below.
I wanted to see the TED Talk she mentioned, so I used my Firefox add-on "Video DownloadHelper" to suck the 20 minute video from YouTube onto my computer, and then I watched it and played some of it at school (where YouTube is blocked). Good stuff!
A very inspirational video - Benjamin Zander speaking at TED
There were two videos from YouTube of Benjamin Zander, an orchestra conductor, speaking at the TED conference where the finest, most creative minds from all over the world gather to share their insights. The first selection runs 10 minutes and is worth watching, but it is the 2nd selection which runs 20 minutes that is a must. It was already 1:00am when I clicked on the video. I figured I'd look at it for a couple of minutes and then give up and go to bed. Well, I was so captivated that I watched the whole thing and have since watched it again. When it ended at 1:30am or so, I had tears running down my cheeks, and I was applauding loudly with the rest of the audience. It's a good thing my husband was sound asleep in the bedroom, for he surely would have wondered what was going on.
Please take the time to watch this video.
Here it the direct link to it on YouTube:
Enjoy! Please leave me a comment on my blog.

Days after Senator David Vitter apologized for using an escort service in Washington, D.C., a woman who once worked as a prostitute in Louisiana said he was a regular client of hers several years ago while he was a state legislator.
The woman worked under the name Wendy Cortez. Her birth name is Wendy Yow, according to her ex-husband, who asked not to be named but said he has seen her birth certificate.
Yow, contacted through relatives, called The Times-Picayune Wednesday night and said Vitter was a regular customer of hers, but said the two did not have a personal romantic relationship. She claimed to have severed ties with him after she found out he was married. Yow said it was a part of her life she hoped to put behind her.
On Thursday, The Times-Picayune asked Vitter's office whether he had ever hired a prostitute or knew Wendy Cortez. In response, his office issued a statement that referenced his Monday apology regarding the Washington escort service and reiterated that he was not implicated in a federal investigation that led to the closing of a Canal Street brothel in 2001.
''Senator Vitter was very honest and direct in his statement on Monday. Unfortunately, that has resulted in political enemies and those looking to profit from the situation shopping all sorts of false stories. Four different lawyers in the Canal Street matter, including the lead defense attorney and the U.S. attorney, have confirmed Senator Vitter had nothing to do with the operation in any way. But sadly the media insists on being completely irresponsible and continues to report rumors and false accusations,'' said Joel DiGrado, a Vitter spokesperson.
DiGrado said that Vitter is spending important time with his family and soon will return to work in the U.S. Senate.
Two of the attorneys cited by DiGrado -- U.S. Attorney Jim Letten and defense attorney Vinny Mosca -- said Vitter's name did not surface or show up in documents during a federal investigation of the operation but did not go as far as to say that he had never been a client.
On Tuesday, Jeanette Maier, the ''Canal Street Madam,'' said Vitter was a customer at her Mid-City brothel but that his ties predated the investigation.
Confronted during his 2004 Senate race with a question about his relationship with Cortez, Vitter denied the liasions on a radio program.
''I think you know that that allegation is absolutely and completely untrue...I have said that on numerous occasions ... I'll say that in any forum,'' Vitter said during the broadcast on WSMB radio. ''Unfortunately, that's just crass Louisiana politics, now that I am running for the Senate. I have made that clear that it is all completely untrue...And, it's obviously politically motivated.''
Yow characterized the senator as a good man but said she was perturbed that he portrayed himself as a politician who would bring moral authority to his office when he was using her services on the side.
Her former boyfriend Tait Cortez, contacted by The Times-Picayune, said he has seen several photos of Wendy Cortez and Vitter together.
Tait Cortez, who works in construction and often travels to compete in weekend rodeos, said he dated Wendy Cortez for several years in the late 1990s and lived with her for more than a year. The couple never married. Her relationship with Vitter, which Tait Cortez claimed went beyond the brothel business, contributed to their breakup, he said.
''She said she gave exotic massages,'' Cortez, 40, said. ''That's when the trouble (between us) started.''
Towards the end of a waning relationship in the summer of 1998, Wendy told him she was an ''exotic masseause,'' Cortez said.
''She told me she had clients lined up; high-dollar people, lawyers, politicians, golfers,'' he said.
While unpacking boxes following the couple's move to Alabama in 1998, Tait Cortez said he found photos of a smiling Wendy at a formal affair, wearing an evening gown, alongside a man he described as a ''city slicker'' wearing a suit. In another photo, that same dark-haired man appeared with Wendy at a waterfront party, he said. The man was wearing shorts and a t-shirt next to Wendy in a bikini, Cortez said. ''She had his hand on his crotch,'' Cortez said. ''They were smiling.''
Cortez said the photo stung him. It was ''more sexual'' than any others, and he felt that Wendy and the man exhibited more than a business relationship, he said.
''She said it was a client of hers,'' Cortez said. ''She said it was David Vitter, a politician.''
Cortez said he and Wendy argued over the course of the next days during which he learned more about her line of work. ''She said it was all a job,'' he said.''I asked her what exactly she did. She said whatever they wanted. I asked her about sex. She said whatever it took.''
After returning home from work the next day, Cortez said he found a note on the refrigerator that said he should not look for her, because he wouldn't find her.
His truck also was missing, along with several items. Save for a few out-of-the-blue phone calls, Cortez said he hasn't spoken to Yow in several years.
Records show Yow has moved often, with addresses in at least five states over the past decade, including Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Iowa and Florida. She used the last names of Yow, Cortez, Williams, Shackelford, Ellis, Scavone and Bruhn, among others, according to cross-referenced public records and interviews.
Yow also has an extensive criminal record. Her legal trouble began in 1991 when she was arrested in Gretna and booked on warrants alleging two counts of forgery and parole violation, records show.
In 1995, she was arrested in Sanford, Fla., and charged as a felon fleeing from justice, and extradited to Arkansas, where she was wanted, according to police records.
A year later in Seminole County, Fla., sheriffs booked her on three counts of fraudulent use of credit cards. She was convicted and ordered to serve probation, but violated that sentence years later and was rearrested in 2001 in Longwood, Fla. Records show she served a jail sentence.
Yow was arrested in October 1997 in Orleans Parish and charged with theft over $500, according to court records. A handwriting specimen was scheduled and Yow failed to appear for a subsequent hearing. The case was dropped in 1998 under article 701.
Available records do not indicate Yow has been arrested for prostitution.
Cortez identified a photo of the woman who adopted his name and described the location of the Mid-City brothel where he said he'd been to pick her up when she worked there. A family member also confirmed the photo. Meier, the madam, said the photo was not the woman she knew as Wendy Cortez.
Tait Cortez has since married, burned photos of his former lover, and forgotten about her, he said, although he still feels deceived.
''She acts like she loves you, but in the end, she is just taking money from you,'' he said.

Free Bacon For Siena Basketball Fans
Siena College knows if you want to put fannies in the seats then you need to lure them in with sodium-loaded fried pork products.
Siena College is offering its basketball fans free bacon for this Saturday's game against Fresno State.
I'm not sure who came up with this idea but I like it. I don't care very much for basketball on any level outside the Harlem globetrotters but I do very much like breakfast meats. I should also add that I very much love FREE breakfast meats.
If you are looking to head to the 11:30 a.m. Siena game this Saturday, then don't forget your bacon. Make sure you head to the front of the Alumni Recreation Center and wear comfortable pants.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ What is a merchant processor?
Also known as a payment processor, these types of institutions handle credit card and check transactions for merchants. In an operation that will usually take a few seconds, the payment processor will both check the details received by forwarding them to the respective card's issuing bank or card association for verification, and also carry out a series of anti-fraud measures against the transaction.
+ Is Precision Payment Systems a merchant processor?
No, we are an independent broker of merchant processors. We have strong relationships with the world's leading processors, which enables us to "shop around" on behalf of our merchants for the lowest rates and most efficient processing solutions available. Can I use someone else's merchant account to do my transactions? No, this practice is known as "credit card laundering" or "factoring." It is against the Visa® and MasterCard® agreement. Using someone else's merchant account to process your credit card transactions can lead to heavy fines and perhaps more. In addition, you'll also put that merchant's credit card processing account in jeopardy.
+ Why are rates higher for Internet, Mail and Telephone Order transactions?
Face-to-face transactions where the credit card is swiped is considered less risky by banks. Since this is the case, rates are quite a bit lower as the instances of fraud and chargebacks are much lower.
+ How long does it take to get setup with credit card processing?
The turnaround time for a merchant processing application varies based on business model, products/services sold, volume, length of time in business. Very straight-forward, less risky businesses can receive approval in as little as 2 hours; higher risk merchants with more complicated business models can take up to 2 weeks for account approval.
+ What kinds of credit card processing solutions are available?
There are a wide range of solutions for all types of merchants. The Services page lists these.
+ What are chargebacks?
Chargebacks can occur for a wide variety of reasons, such as double-charging, credit card expiration, bank error and customer disputes. A chargeback is a transaction reversal initiated by your customer through their credit card institution. That credit card company will contact the merchant's payment processor, at which time the processor notifies the merchant in writing of the chargeback. Merchants are given between 14 and 30 days to refute the chargeback and provide proof of the disputed charges. If no rebuttal is provided, the chargeback is automatically ruled in favor of the customer and the disputed funds (with fees) are deducted from the merchant's checking account.
+ What is a discount rate?
"Discount rate" is the full term for what is commonly referred to as "rates". It is a percentage paid on the charge that is being processed. Rates are mostly comprised of fees set by the credit card associations and the processor's cost of administering those fees.

As I embark on my Blogging journey, I wouldn't be a loyal Bay Area sports fan if I didn't use one of my first Blogs to acknowledge the awesome 2010 World Series victory of the San Francisco Giants. Congratulations to all the players, coaches, owners, and fans. Since I have never been much attracted to baseball as an observer, I'm not exactly sure how to blog about it with any enthusiasm. The last time I remember watching an entire game of live baseball, I was sitting in Seals Stadium at 16th and Bryant Street watching the San Francisco Seals, winners of the 1957 PCL Championship. The manager was Lefty O'Doul, and the only player I still remember is Ken Aspermonte, a name that sounds to me like an Italian Village. The next year the Giants arrived and minor league ball came to an end. I did my best to be a fan of the Giants. With players such as Willy Mays and McCovey on your home team, it seemed sacrilegious not to be. How can you not be a fan of the great American pastime? My friend Bill King, the voice of the A's, used to ask. I treated the question as rhetorical since he asked me every time I turned down his offers to give me free tickets. It's not that I don't admire the game of baseball or the talent it takes to play it, or the subtleties of the sport. It's all the down-time that drives me crazy. My personality is far too hyper for baseball. I tried pitching in high school, one of two positions in the game that were constantly in motion, the other being catcher, but I was so wild, the Lowell High baseball coach, worrying about the kind of injuries I might inflict on his players, (not to mention opposing batters), recommended I stick to basketball. I gladly followed his advice. My rejection of baseball continued to befuddle Bill King, at one time the voice of all three major league sports in the Bay Area (in the same year) who insisted that baseball was the most exciting and intellectually stimulating. He always believed me to be an intelligent man, but this was a flaw in my character that made him wonder if he was mistaken about me. (By the way, how come Bill "Holy Toledo" King is not in the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame?). Dear Bill, how I miss him. How he tried to make a baseball fan of me, to his utter frustration. Wherever your spirit now resides, this blog is for you, Bill. But the sports poem of the day is for Tim Lincecum, whom I have to admit, I actually turned on the TV to watch him pitch.
Pitcher by Robert Francis
His art is eccentricity, his aim
How not to hit the mark he seems to aim at.
His passion how to avoid the obvious,
His technique how to vary the avoidance.
The others throw to be comprehended. He
Throws to be a moment misunderstood.
Yet not too much. Not errant, arrant, wild,
But every seeming aberration willed.
Not to, yet still, still to communicate,
Making the batter understand too late.
What my musings are all about...
Blogging might well be the 21st century's form of journaling. As a writing teacher, I have always advised my students to keep a daily journal as a way of organizing their thoughts for future writing projects, a discipline I have unfortunately never consistently practiced myself. By blogging, I might finally be able to follow my own good advice.
The difference between journaling and blogging is that the blogger opens his or her writing to the public, something journal- writers are usually reluctant to do. I am not so reticent.
The trick for me will be to avoid cluttering the internet with more blather, something none of us need more of. If I stick to subjects I know: sports and literature, I believe I can avoid that pitfall. I can't promise that I'll not stray from time to time to comment on ancillary subjects, but I will make every attempt to be interesting and perhaps even insightful.

Snowflakes Tam Pattern
This is not a beginner's project, I would call it intermediate level. It involves 2-color knitting in the round using tiny size 1 US/2.25mm and size 3 US/3.25mm circular and double pointed needles. The challenge is to keep your tension even throughout.
Materials: Fine wool yarn that knits to a gauge of 28 stitches=4"/10cm. It must be wool or it will not block to shape. I used GGH Merino Soft, Lane Borgosesia Merino Extra Fine, and Le Fibre Nobili Tajmahal. You will need one 50 gm ball each of 5 colors or leftover yarns in the following amounts-
24 grams white
8 grams green
12 grams blue
4 grams pale blue
4 grams lavender
You will also need one stitch marker or small loop of contrasting yarn and 16"/40cm circular needles in size 1 US/2.5mm and size 3 US/3.25mm and a set of 4 double pointed needles in size 3 US/3.25mm or whatever size you need to knit your yarn to gauge.
Directions: Using size 1/2.5mm circular needle and blue yarn, cast on 134 stitches for ribbing. Join, being careful not to twist stitches, place stitch marker on needle to mark beginning of row, and work 1x1 ribbing (knit one, purl one) until tube measures 1"/2.5cm, or about 11 rounds.
Increase round: Switch to size 3 US/3.25mm circular needles. Knit 3, increase by knitting into the front and back of next stitch, *Knit 4, increase in next stitch* repeat between *'s around ending Knit 3, increase in next stitch. 168 stitches.
Brim: Knit every round following the chart at left for color placement. Read the chart from bottom to top, from right to left, the way that you knit the piece. The chart is repeated 7 times around the hat. Continue moving the stitch marker to keep track of beginning of round.
Crown: Starting on row 36 of the chart, you will begin making double decreases every second round to shape the crown of the hat, represented by the single column of stitches. (The chart makes a stair-step to represent the stitches decreased out of the crown.) The center stitch of the decrease is prominent and decorative, and is performed in this manner-slip 2 stitches as if to knit 2 together, knit the next stitch, pass the 2 slipped stitches over the stitch you've just knitted. You will want to keep your stitch marker at the edge of the decrease line.
Continue working, decreasing 14 stitches every other round, changing to double pointed needles when this becomes necessary. Draw yarn through last 14 stitches and pull tightly. Weave in yarn ends.
Finishing: At this point, the tam will look like the photo at left. It will seem a little small to fit an adult, but it will be a little larger after blocking.
To block the hat, wet it well and roll it up in a towel to remove excess water without wringing or twisting the hat out of shape. Gently stretch the hat over a dinner plate and pat it into place. See the photos at the top of the page to see what it should look like. Allow it to dry completely, which will take a day or two.
The photo at right is what the finished hat looks like, modeled by one of my teens.

Love your tam pattern. I am looking for a tam for children and for stuffed bears and for dogs. Can you help me out here?

I just cast on for this tam this afternoon and am now at the increases. It looks like the instructions for the increases should be to increase IN the 3rd st, and then IN the subsequent 4th st (i.e. K2, kfb, *k3, kfb, rep from *), rather than k3, kfb in the next st, *k4, kfb in the next st, rep from *, in order to get the necessary number of increases. Looking forward to working the rest of the tam!

Zeenat Rafiq, 18, was burnt alive by her mother in Lahore, Pakistan, in a so-called "honour killing." She died after her mother and brother tied to her a bed, doused her with kerosene, and set her alight. The incident occurred at the family home, with police saying her body shows signs of extended torture.
Parveen Rafiq has been arrested and has since confessed to killing her daughter for "refusing to have a traditional wedding." The daughter did not seek permission to marry, instead choosing to elope with her boyfriend. A post mortem examination will establish whether or not she was alive when she was set on fire.
"Her mother has confessed to the crime but we find it hard to believe that a 50-year-old woman committed this act all by herself with no help from the family members," police superintendent Ibadat Nisar said.
The police are still searching for the victim's brother, who has since disappeared and presumed to be "on the run."
Zeenat chose to marry boyfriend Hasan Khan, a mechanic in the same city, before court magistrates last month. Upon finding out, her parents asked to have the marriage ceremony repeated in a "traditional family function," due to the "shame" of having a daughter to would carry the label of an eloper for life.
According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, an independent body, nearly 1,200 women are murdered by relatives each year in so-called "honour killings" for going against Pakistan's conservative Islamic standards.
Earlier this month, Maria Sadaqat, a 19-year-old teacher, was tortured and then burnt alive for refusing to marry the son of the headmaster, a man over twice her age. Sadaqat was attacked in northern rural village of Upper Dewal and died two days later in hospital.
Ms. Sadaqat had been forced out of her job after the headmaster began harassing after she turned down the proposal from his son. Before she died, she was able to give a statement to police, testifying that five perpetrators had broken into her home, dragged her to an open area, and then assaulted her before setting her alight.
The prime suspects are her former manager – the headmaster – and his son. Four additional men are in custody awaiting trial.
A month before, police arrested 16 members of a local tribe council who allegedly tortured and strangled a 17-year-old girl to death for helping a friend elope.

- Fold the netting so it's 2 feet x 5-6 feet.
- Use the paper clip to "sew" down the middle (ask a woman how to).
- It will be difficult to pull the ribboned paper clip through - but you don't care if it rips a little - it's just a costume!
- Cut the edges so nothing's folded (makes it fluffier).
- When you get to the end pull the netting down the ribbon so it bunches up. Tie it around your waist.
- Make a Pretty Hair Bow with Pink Tassels:
- Just take 6 inches of netting from your tutu fabric, fold it like a fan, and twisty-tie it to a headband (available at drugstores). Add pink ribbon if you like.
- Make a Pair of Faux Ballerina Slippers
- By wrapping pink ribbon around your ankles.
This would be a great group costume... Think: "We're the Nutcracker"... Or a good couple costume... Him in a pink tutu and her with a goatee, dressed in black spandex - as a male ballet dancer.

After the Bodhi event earlier in the month I've been giving the new Desert Rose Rejuventation Facial Oil a go, since trying the Nourish Argan Rescue Oil I've been addicted to facial oils, I really notice the difference in my skin quicker than using a cream and enjoy using something that feels so concentrated.
First off, you've got to admire the beautiful packaging of this new product in the Bodhi Artisan Series, hand assembled and sealed with ribbon and a gold seal it really does feel luxurious. The bottle is made from ethically sourced Biophotonic Violet Glass which protects the ingredients, clever huh?
The Bodhi Desert Rose Rejuventating Facial Oil launched on the 25th August at an introductory price of £46 for 30ml, rising to a RRP of £56 in September. Pricy, I know, but did you know that on average it takes 4 tons of rose petals to make 1kg of rose oil? This means that each bottle of Bodhi Desert Rose oil contains around 320 roses and when a dozen roses comes in at around £40 it makes you see the value of the ingredients a bit more.
In addition to Bulgarian Damask Rose Otto, this luxe oil blend also includes Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Tunisian Neroli Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Strawberry Seed Oil and Vitamin E, that's a super powered facial oil blend, with pretty much everything that you would need within it!
Although advertised as a facial oil, you can use this product on hair, skin and your cuticles, wherever you need to really. I've been using it as a night treatment and I love the unconventional rose scent. Although it doesn't absorb fully into my skin, I find that it feels lightweight and not greasy. Because I don't find it sinks in as well as I would like I wouldn't use this in the day as I don't think it would allow me to get the matte make up finish that I like, but for a night treatment it works a treat for me.
Have you tried anything from Bodhi?
Which facial oils do you like?

Two days before Halloween I was slightly panicked because I had no idea what Rio was going to dress up as. Last year she was only a few weeks old, wore her monkey outfit for about five minutes and promptly puked all over it. Brent suggested that we just buy her a costume and not worry about it but if you know me and Halloween then you know that is NOT an option! So in an exhausted effort to figure out a costume we could pull off, I started to think about famous babies. My first thought was Pebbles Flintstone but after a quick google look, it just wasn't right for Rio. That's when Brent suggested Maggie Simpson. THAT was doable! And easy!
So the night before Halloween, I pulled out one of my older blue gap t-shirts to sacrifice, some darker blue felt for the bow, her only headband, some yellow burlap-like fabric for the hair and the first baby item I ever bought to use for sizing. Using that sweatshirt as a sizing template, I just cut around the edges of that but left the original bottom so it would be long like Maggie's gown. I didn't finish the sleeve ends or the rough bottom because I figured after Halloween night, I would fancy it up just a bit more so it can be something she can wear for a while. For the purpose of the costume, it just needed to be a long, blue nightgown :)
My original thought for the hair was something that could wrap around that headband so it would be easy to get on and off of her. Well, I tried and tried to pull those flowers off but they weren't budging so I knew they would have to stay. I just cut out some triangle shapes out of the yellow fabric, snowflake style and sewed them up! I stuffed each point with some fluffed out quilt batting and sewed along the bottom of each triangle. I used some yellow bias tape to actually make it a headband. Let me explain. I decided that I wanted to be able to use the headband as is again and I wanted to make the hair usable for anyone who wants to borrow this costume in the future, baby or adult! Basically, I made it so it just ties on your head! You can see how it fits my head (without the headband) below. For Rio though, I just wrapped the excess bias tape around the headband, smashing the flowers, so we could just slip it on her instead of having to tie it. Make sense? I cut a little blue bow and actually sewed it onto the hair at work yesterday!
The red pacifier? Well, Brent had the great idea of just covering it in red electrical tape which he already had on hand. None of the tape is on the side of the pacifier touching her skin. I grabbed a pacifier that we were getting ready to throw out anyway and just covered it like mad. I think the paci really sells the look ;) Done and done!
Truth be told, she wasn't much into the upper portion of her costume. It was nearing bedtime, the witching hour, and her patience was running thin. We were able to get a few shots of her at my folks' but the majority of those photos are of her trying to pull off her hair!
All in all though, I'd say it was a successful costume and a successful Halloween. We DID go to the house with the 22' tall tornado out front...it was insane. I've heard of people going to other neighborhoods to trick or treat before but have never done it myself. That neighborhood was FILLED with parked cars and literally hundreds of people walking around. It was awesome but also a little overwhelming all at the same time! It totally reminded me of what you see in the movies. Maybe someday when she's a little older, we'll do that again and hang out a bit longer (and keep our full costumes on!).

Why do I let myself daydream? In my head, my life is adventurous: I am a dashing prince upon a majestic horse, with a much deeper voice, striving valiantly to save the damsel. And I also don't have to pluck my eyebrows.
But in reality, when I try to make my dreams come true, things go differently. I'll show you what I mean. Here's a scene from the inside of my head:
Paul is waiting in line for a burrito, and a beautiful girl gets in line behind him. Paul turns around to talk to her.
Girl: I know, seriously. It's like, I have places to be, please.
Paul: Ha, me too. Maybe they'll open a new line for people who are busy.
Girl: (winking slightly) Yeah, but then you'd still be in front of me, and I'd still be late.
Paul: Well, I'd think about letting you go in front of me.
Girl: Oh you would, would you?
Paul: (smiling coyly) Maybe. If you were good.
Girl: (getting closer) And what would I need to do to be good? (strong sexual voice on 'good')
Paul: Well you could start with giving me your phone number.
Girl: (taking a small piece of paper from her cleavage, and a pen from Paul's pocket) Okay. (writes down the number, and stuffs it down the front of pants) But this better be just the start
And so on and so forth. But here's what actually takes place when I try to make that happen.
Paul is waiting in line for a burrito, and a beautiful girl gets in line behind him. Paul turns around to talk to her.
Paul: Can you believe this line?
Girl nods, slightly smiles, and rolls her eyes.
Paul: It's like, you know, hopefully they'll like, open up a new line or something.
Girl: Huh? What?
Paul: I said maybe they'll open up, you know, a new line. You know, for us busy people.
Girl: Uh are we busy?
Paul: Well yeah. It'd be great. We'd get to go in front of all the other people, cause there not as busy as us, and, and, maybe you could go in front of me, or you know, I'd let you go in front of me, or something. It'd be sweet.
Girl: Uh huh.
Paul: And I don't know, maybe we'd perchance a meeting one fine dusk
Girl: Hey, you're up next.
Paul: Oh, so I am. Hm hm hm! (by this point Paul has fallen fully into a burly English accent.)
Girl: But, were you serious about letting me go in front of you? Cause I actually am pretty busy.
Paul: Oh, yeah. Of course. Go right ahead, m'lady. (he bows)
Girl:(eyes wide, going past him) Thanks.
Paul: Shall I harken towards you sometime?
Girl: Huh?
Paul: (briefly going back to his normal voice) Um, should I call you?
Girl: Uh, see, thing about that is I have a problem with my phone.. hold on. (turns towards counter) Yeah I'll have a Southwest Chicken Salad, please.
Paul: (back to the voice) The lady knows her pheasantry!
Both Girl and attendant look back at Paul, who's leaning in, twiddling the moustache he doesn't have.
Girl: And um, could you make that to go?
Attendant: Absolutely.

"Exposing New Music To The Blog-Reading Masses"
Meshell Ndegeocello Shares Track From Upcoming Album

Weird title? I suppose. It's because I'm writing this afternoon on TOUCH AND GO, my mystery/suspense work-in-progress. As I write, the soundtrack to "Rob Roy" is playing on the CD player (breathes there a soul who doesn't write to music?). The music naturally reminds me of the movie. In it, the title character makes certain choices, based on his best instincts--some of them work out well, some of them lead to disaster. But once he's made his choices, events progress that are out of his control. There's a slow buildup of the consequences and his subsequent actions/reactions to them, creating a sense of destiny. Was Rob doomed? What other choices could he have made, and remain himself?
That's what I'm aiming for in this next book--that linkage of action/situation building on action, leading to that same sense of inevitability in the storyline and particularly in the resolution of the story problem(s).
You find it in the best-written books, the most immortal of music. Can you think of any piece by Beethovn in which the progression of theme and note can possibly result any other way than it does?
Aim high, they say. I'm aiming high with this one.

Duncan-Williams Extends Public Finance Reach in Ohio
Duncan-Williams, a privately owned investment firm, said it has opened an office in Columbus, OH to further enhance its public finance practice and expand its national presence. The new office is the 17th location for the firm.
The office will be led by Kevin Boyce, managing director, and Christy McMurry, senior vice president – both industry experts with strong leadership experience in the municipal market.
"This expansion of our geographic footprint reinforces our overall growth strategy. Today, the market is changing faster than ever, and we must stay ahead of the curve and aim to expand our reach even further," said McMurry.
"Although our roots are in the Southeast, we have grown into a nationally recognized, full-service financial services provider serving clients in all 50 states from offices across the country. The opening of this new office in Columbus further expands our national reach," Boyce added.
Boyce joins Duncan-Williams after working for Rice Financial Products, a New York-based investment banking firm. Boyce offers a strong tradition of performance excellence with extensive experience in Public Finance. Prior to joining Rice, Boyce served as State of Ohio Treasurer where he led the country's seventh largest state treasury while guiding an investment team responsible for a $10B fixed income portfolio, public finance issuances for over $1.2B, overseeing pension fund custodial agreements for over $150B, reducing pension funds fees and cost 65% ($20M), and operations expenses 12% over two years. He is currently serving in the state legislature for the State of Ohio.
McMurry joins Duncan-Williams as senior vice president. She has been providing financial advisory and investment banking services to state and local governments for more than 12 years. McMurry has worked on a myriad of complex structured financings specializing in K-12, higher education, water, sewer and capital projects for local government issuers in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Prior to joining the Firm, McMurry worked on the trading desk for Seasongood and Mayer, gaining a keen understanding of not just structuring a municipal issue, but also how to market those issues to the financial markets.

Name:Dai Mari Carmen
It's been a year and 5months since I became an instructor here in M-Land. In everyday teaching and getting involved with many guests. I'm starting to feel that I was born for this job. I felt that it's my destiny to be here. All I obtained, experienced and learned since I came here to Japan is all meant to be for this compliment's I'm obtaining now.
At first I was impressed of the fact, Rislcing to raise a non-Japanese instructor. I heard that in other school they just have those interpreters, helping the guests. But passing all the needed bar exams for the said license was not easy to get. So many hard and high walls must be climbed. The biggest thing and the most touching part is that. M-Land believed that ever I'm a Filipina, I had the ability that I can pass this and corse I did. But it's not only me by myself. I own all what I have now to all those best instructors here in M-Land who done their best teaching me with all their patience and abilities.
The word THANK YOU wont be enough to thank all the people who pushed me and made me who I am now, Specially to MR. JIRO KOGAWA.
It's my destiny who I am now so I have and I will do what I have too. It's my job to teach and at the same time share love . We are here to make. M-Land the first "NO BORDER DRIVUNG SCHOOL" in JAPAN what ever your citizenship is, we are here to support you, with all ovr heart and smile.
Name:Murakami Anna Marie
I wrote to compliments for the efforts and patience of driving instructors in M-land who have made my driving license a success! Attending everyday of different challenges as with different instructors, they are dedicated and sincere in teaching and imparting their knowledge. These are the type of instructors M-land should retain and to be recognized for their good performance.
Needless to say I've indeed succeeded in attaining my driving license through my own efforts and with support of loved ones, with support of M-land but still, some bit of my success and strength made for foreign students who needs more support especially how to understand Japanese language.
For all foreign nationals who wish to take a driving license in Japan, current and future, we are here to let you understand the knowledge and skill of driving techniques which allows learners to correct their mistakes and adopt good driving habits. We assure you to a nice and fruitiful journey, to lead you an infinite safe driving.
We are willing to welcome all the foreign nationals, let's make great lessons together and teach us more about how to extend our professionalism by acknowledging your errors, and just remember, not everything starts out PERFECT.........let's [3L'C] LIVE,LOVE,LAUGH, and CRY together in M-land.
