Our dining table has seen a lot of variety after I joined the group,seriously.Thanks to KAF,I made Tori bendi and Palak pathrodo.While browsing through the recipe corner,I came across this recipe for Cutlets.Ajay is a big fan of cutlets and fondly remembers the way his mother made it for them during his school days.I tried his mom's recipe here and we both loved it.But I try to cut back on deep fried snacks and hence this did not feature in our menu for a long time.
Ajay vividly remembers the Cutlets from Diana restaurant in Udupi and since the recipe sounded pretty easy,I decided to try it out after all.I was in a good mood and hence the step by step pics:).
Vegetable Cutlets ~ Udupi Diana Style
Recipe courtesy – Kudpi Raj of KAF
Potato – 3,medium,cooked and mashed
Carrots – 3,medium,peeled and grated
Beetroot – 1,big,peeled and grated
Onion – 1,chopped
Green chilly – 1,chopped
Garlic – 2-3 cloves,chopped[I substituted it with 1 tsp garlic paste]
Salt to taste
Garam masala – 1 tsp
Bread slices – 4,dipped in water and squeezed to a pulp
Maida – 2 tbsp
Oil – for frying
Heat oil in a kadai and add green chillies and garlic paste.
Saute for a minute and then add the chopped onion.
When the onion starts turning light brown,mix in the grated carrot and beetroot.
Add garam masala and salt to taste and mix well.
Cook on a low flame till the water evaporates and the mix becomes dry.
Let it cool and then mix in the mashed potatoes and bread pulp.
Make small balls of the mix and flatten it using your palms.
Keep it in the fridge for a while to firm up.
Make a paste using ½ a cup of water and maida.
Dip the flattened discs first in the maida-water and then roll it in the bread crumbs.
Arrange on a plate and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying the cutlets.[Make sure the oil is really hot before putting in the cutlets].
Add the cutlets to the hot oil and fry till they become dark brown on both sides.Serve hot!!

Every year, half a million people seek consultation for enhancement of the appearance of their nose. Some are unhappy with the nose with which they were born or the way aging has changed their nose. For others, an injury may have distorted the nose and in many, there is the additional goal of improving breathing. As the nose occupies a central position on the face, the size and shape of the nose has a great impact on an individual's appearance.
Understanding the Surgery
The term rhinoplasty is derived from the German "rhinoplastik" which means "changing the shape of the nose". The technique involves first accessing the bone and cartilage support of the nose. This is achieved through incisions made inside the nose, where they are invisible. In some cases, an incision is made in the area of skin separating the nostrils. Next, the underlying bone and cartilage is reduced, augmented or rearranged to create a newly shaped structure. For example, if the tip of the nose is too large, the surgeon can sculpt the cartilage in this area to reduce it in size. If the bridge of the nose has a prominence, this can be reduced to yield a more pleasing profile. If any portion of the nose appears disproportionately small, cartilage or soft tissue grafts can be placed to create better harmony. The angles of the nose in relation to the upper lip or the forehead can also be altered by further sculpting the nasal support structure.
The tissues are then redraped over the new frame and the incisions are closed. A small plastic splint is applied to the outside of the nose to minimize swelling and to help maintain the new shape while the nose heals. Soft, absorbent material may be used inside the nose to maintain stability along the dividing wall of the air passages called the septum. Alternatively, soft nasal supports that permit nasal breathing post-operatively can be placed.
Even a minor correction can make a difference in overall facial harmony. Patients report little or no pain after nasal surgery, and any discomfort is easily controlled with mild pain medication.
What to Expect After the Surgery
Upon completion of the surgery, you will be monitored in the post anesthesia recovery area until you feel well enough for discharge home. The majority of patients do not experience any significant pain, however, analgesic medications can be given as needed for post operative discomfort. Whether packing is placed in the nose or not, most patients will comment that their nasal breathing is limited in the first few days after surgery. This is a result of intranasal swelling and as the swelling subsides, the breathing improves. Your face will feel puffy,especially the first day after surgery. Some patients develop swelling and/or bruising around the eyes. This generally subsides in the first 2-5 days after surgery. Cold compresses will help minimize and reduce the bruising and any discomfort. Absorbable sutures are generally used inside the nose and do not need removal. Any external sutures, if required, are removed in 5-8 days. Nasal dressings and splints are also removed at 5-10 days after surgery.
It is imperative that you follow your surgeon's post operative instructions. Keeping your head elevated will minimize swelling. It is important not to blow your nose and to avoid any impact to the nose while the structures inside and out are healing. Activities such as heavy lifting, excessive exertion, sun exposure or any activity that would increase the risk of injury should be avoided. If you wear glasses, you must be careful not to exert excess pressure on the bridge of the nose. Tape and other devices are sometimes used to permit wearing glasses without stressing the area during healing.
Follow-up care is crucial to success in rhinoplasty. Any concerns regarding your post operative course such as excess bleeding, unexpected swelling, fever or significant pain should be reported to your surgeon immediately. It is essential that you keep your follow-up appointments with your surgeon. As your healing is being monitored, there may be techniques such as massage, use of nasal sprays or even small injections of cortisone like medications that can further enhance the desired result.
With proper analysis, realistic patient expectations and the skills of a qualified facial plastic surgeon, rhinoplasty is a very rewarding procedure for both patient and surgeon alike.

If there's a quicker goal in the history of soccer, we don't know about it. On the opening kick, a Georgia high school player received the ball in his own end – and the ball didn't touch the ground again until it crashed into the back of the net, 67 yards away.
Coming within seconds of the referee's whistle to start play, the epic score drew surprised yells from the crowd. A video of the moon-shot is rapidly picking up viewers on YouTube; it was first posted last week by Bill Phelps. CBS Sports wrote about the long score this morning.
It's fairly easy to calculate the yardage in this case, because the game at Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Ga., about 30 minutes northwest of Atlanta, was being played on a football field.
That's where the right foot of Andrew Deltac met the ball on the 43 yard-line and blasted it over the goalie's head for the game's first score.
The goal was set up at the rear of the end zone, which is 10 yards deep. The ball soared through the night air and over the head of the goalie, who had been caught out near the top of the penalty area.
Here's how Phelps describes the video: "67 yard goal scored by Harrison High School's Andrew Deltac off the opening kick off! Recorded by Michelle Daley."
Phelps says the score is the farthest and quickest ever recorded at Harrison. It came at the start of the team's Feb. 18 game against Walton High School of nearby Marietta, he says.
Deltac is a junior on the team at Harrison. A look at the soccer team's website suggests Harrison is a perennial playoff team. Both its boys and girls teams have won state championships.
We don't have many more details than that, including who won the game.
"It's like Deltac here Keyser Sozed the entire Internet," writes Bleacher Report's Gabe Zaldivar, "coming in for one flash of brilliance and then disappearing into anonymity once again perhaps to one day return and embarrass any would-be foolish goalkeepers."

We offer a Free quote and UK design service, get in touch today.
Looking for a clinic that offers a range of dental services in their dental clinics? Our facilities offer high-quality dental care, so whether you're looking for a dental check-up or cosmetic dentistry, we got a team of skilled dentists you can trust. We are dedicated to providing high-quality dentistry at a reasonable cost.
We offer private dental care in Bracken Park LS14 3 including regular family check-ups, smile makeovers, all on four and cosmetic treatments.
Our team of professionals is here to help you keep your teeth healthy and fix any imperfections you may worry about. We'd be happy to answer any questions you have about our services, and an expert would be happy to advise you on everything we have to offer.
Our team of highly trained dentists is here to make sure you get the excellent attention, guidance, and treatment you need for both basic and difficult dental requirements.
To speak with us today, please complete the contact form on this page and let us know what you are looking for. We'll reply as soon as we can to provide more information and discuss the services you need.
Private dental treatment is offered to patients looking for a more specific service from highly skilled and advanced dentists. This type of treatment offers more choice and flexibility than standard NHS dentistry and is often the best option for people who need cosmetic treatments.
If you require expert treatments, we offer plenty of solutions, such as overall oral health and aesthetic techniques. If you want emergency dental care or are organising ongoing appointments to undertake treatment, we'll go above and beyond to cater to what you need. Simply let us know precisely what you need, and our professionals will make sure you get the best service throughout your process.
Consult with our professionals today to obtain more information about the choice of private denistry services. One of our health specialists will happily talk about everything with you in further detail.
Many things, both hereditary and environmental, could affect the look of our teeth. We can provide a choice of cosmetic solutions to take care of smile imperfections and improve the way your smile looks. The methods of cosmetic dentistry are done to improve the appearance of someone's smile.
We have a wide range of options for you to choose from, and one of our experts in Bracken Park can talk you through each process in detail. If you have any specific requests in mind, please feel free to let us know, and we'll try out best to accommodate your needs.
Our team will put together a plan for you that is completely customised to exactly what you need and will suit your individual characteristics.
A qualified cosmetic practitioner can make every patient's smile beautiful and unique, and more natural than previously. We'll give a wide range of aesthetic dental care solutions to accommodate the diverse needs of every patient.
One of our dentists will discuss with you what kind of overall look you want your smile to have and then suggest a treatment that will be most effective for you. There are actually several different types of cosmetic dental procedures based upon individual examination or what is desired by each person.
We offer a contouring procedure to reshape the gum line and take off extra tissue creating a better smile.
We will also offer tooth whitening, new porcelain crowns and teeth implants based upon what you require. If you lack some or all of your teeth, dental implants may considerably boost your well being, overall wellness, and self-confidence.
Dental implants closely imitate natural teeth as they have a total root design in addition to the crown, whilst standard prosthetics replace only the crowns. As a result, the implants appear and feel like genuine teeth, and they also operate in exactly the same way as well.
You'll be able to eat any foods you choose, the same as if you had got a full set of healthy teeth.
These will deliver more than aesthetic features as they supply the overall performance you would get by having a full set of natural teeth.
You could plan to have them whitened by having a laser treatment for those who have stains on a tooth. Consult with a specialist in Bracken Park to see if this would be the best course of action for you.
We'd be happy to advise you on all of the possibilities we offer, and an expert can gladly speak to you about costs and different options.
You may want to have veneers put in if you've got damaged teeth or you would prefer to enhance the appearance of your mouth. When teeth are overcrowded, or they are uneven with gaps, orthodontics will correct the bone structure and alignment to give a better look.
An accident to the face may bring about missing teeth and even harm to the jaw. A broken tooth can be upgraded with specialist implants, and we may also work with medical doctors in the event that you require a jaw realignment.
In conclusion, NHS dentistry is intended to be functional, but private treatment is typically both functional and cosmetic. Each treatment plan is unique, so it's important to talk to your dentist about the public and private choices.
Private dentists have the freedom to provide whatever treatments they desire, which means you can get a wide range of treatments and services rather than just regular dental care. Cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic treatments are often provided by private dentists, and some may also provide face aesthetics and spa treatments.
So, whether you're looking for a simple cleaning or filling, a root canal, scale and polish, or x ray dental treatment, both nhs and private dentists offer these. The main difference is the accessibility and quality of service provided to you.
In relation to the prices of aesthetic dental treatment plans and smile makeovers, it definitely varies depending on what is required for every patient.
A single treatment, whether by nhs and private dentists, could be completed for many. But, others could need a longer process with different techniques. So even though we try to keep cosmetic dentistry prices reasonable, there's never a price tag for the emotional advantages of a beautiful smile.
The professional cosmetic dentist will go over the price with you at assessment and even give you payment methods that will make cosmetic teeth treatments cost-effective for you personally.
Feel free to talk with our staff if you have any questions regarding the wide array of cosmetic treatments we offer. Our team will be able to discuss just what is needed and also arrange an appointment straight away.
Just complete the contact form to discuss private dental care in Bracken Park LS14 3 and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Waffenregister? Die Meinung eines US Marine
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government's right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection, yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma'am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America. I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston

The heavily forested city of Ketchikan, Alaska, is built on rock and surrounded by water. Every commodity that comes into Ketchikan must arrive by sea or air. The use of fuel oil is problematic for both economic and environmental reasons because the oil must be obtained and refined elsewhere and transported (using additional fuel). What's more, fuel oil is subject to price instability.
The Southeast Alaska Discovery Center in Ketchikan, which provides information to more than a million visitors each year, is the site of a pilot biomass boiler system now coming to life. Two oil-fired boilers serving the 250,000-sq-ft center were replaced with a highly efficient system fueled by local wood. Manufactured by Hurst Boiler & Welding Company Inc., the hot-water boiler was custom-designed to fit within very limited indoor space.
Under the direction of E. Dane Ash, project manager for Tyonek-Alcan Pacific LLC, the biomass boiler system was developed with Hurst representative Gregory W. Smith of Global Energy Solutions Inc. to address environmental concerns, as well as issues related to building space, fuel costs, comfort, reliability, and simplicity of operation.
The new boiler is located on the lower level of the Discovery Center, which requires heating for a minimum of nine months a year. Local wood densified into fuel pucks is delivered to an elevated walking-floor storage bin in a vestibule area built to protect against excessive moisture. (The biomass-fired boiler can burn any wood product with up to 50-percent moisture content.) An auger moves pucks from the storage area to a metering bin and into the boiler. Freezing is not an issue because the walking floor easily breaks up any frozen contents.
The boiler system was designed to highlight how biomass can reduce or eliminate the use of fossil fuels. Visitors can see the boiler operate through specially designed windows. In the hall just outside of the boiler room, the noise level and ambient temperature is consistent with the rest of the building.
Fuel costs have been cut by two-thirds. The densified pucks are used with almost no residual ash; eventually, however, tree clippings from the Ketchikan walking trails will be ground and fed into the boiler, eliminating the need for transport to a landfill, burning, and other methods of disposal.
The Boiler
The Hurst S100 Series Fire Tube 27 HP Hydronic Water Heating Boiler features a pre-heater to optimize combustion and an underfeed stoker with dry-ash-removal system.
The system easily can be replicated for heat or heat/power generation up to 20,000 kw. In June 2011, Smith served as a keynote speaker for the fifth annual Native American Economic Development Conference in Anaheim, Calif., where he described the initiatives being implemented in Ketchikan and shared success stories of biomass-fired boiler systems installed on institutional campuses and in manufacturing facilities throughout the United States, particularly in challenging and remote locations. Systems include municipal solid waste, as well as woody biomass for steam production and steam to power.

The Survival Scatter plot shows the clinical status (i.e. dead or alive) for all individuals in the patient cohort, based on the same data that underlies the corresponding Kaplan-Meier plots. Patients that are alive at last time for follow-up are shown in blue and patients who have died during the study are shown in red.
The x-axis shows the expression levels (FPKM) of the investigated gene in the tumor tissue at the time of diagnosis. The y-axis shows the follow-up time after diagnosis (years). Both axes are complimented with kernel density curves demonstrating the data density over the axes. The top density plot shows the expression levels (FPKM) distribution among dead (red) and alive patients (blue). The right density plot shows the data density of the survived years of dead patients with high and low expression levels respectively, stratified using the cutoff indicated by the vertical dashed line through the Survival Scatter plot. This cutoff is automatically defined based on the FPKM cutoff that minimizes the p-score. The cutoff can be changed by dragging the vertical line or by entering a cutoff value in the square labeled "Current cut-off".
Under the Survival Scatter plot the p-score landscape (black curve; left axis) is shown together with dead median separation (red curve; right axis). Dead median separation is the difference in median mRNA expression between patients who have died with high and low expression, respectively. It is calculated as follows: median FPKM expression of dead patients with high expression - median FPKM expression of dead patients with low expression. This is intended to aid the user in visually exploring custom cutoffs and the associated p-scores and dead median separation.
Individual patient data is displayed and can be filtered by clicking on one or more of the category buttons on the top of the page. Categories describing expression level and patient information include: high, low, alive, dead, female, male and tumor stages. The scale of the x-axis can be toggled between linear and log-scale by clicking on the "x log" button. Mouse-over function shows TCGA ID, patient information and mRNA expression (FPKM) for each patient.
Based on the FPKM value of each gene, patients were classified into two groups and association between prognosis (survival) and gene expression (FPKM) was examined. The best expression cut-off refers the FPKM value that yields maximal difference with regard to survival between the two groups at the lowest log-rank P-value. Best expression cut-off was selected based on survival analysis .
When clicking on this number, the vertical dashed line indicating cut-off, the interactive survival plot, and the Kaplan-Meier curve will be adjusted to show results based on the best expression cut-off.Read more
5-year survival for patients with higher expression than the expression cutoff.
For melanoma and glioma, 3-year survival is shown.
5-year survival for patients with lower expression than the expression cutoff.
RNA-seq data is reported as median FPKM (number Fragments Per Kilobase of exon per Million reads), generated by the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) .
Normal distribution across the dataset is visualized with box plots, shown as median and 25th and 75th percentiles. Points are displayed as outliers if they are above or below 1.5 times the interquartile range. FPKM values of the individual samples are presented next to the box plot.
A mouse-over function shows sample information and annotation data. Click on an image to view it in a full screen mode. Samples can be filtered based on level of antibody staining by selecting one or several of the following categories: high, medium, low and not detected. The assay and annotation is described here.
Note that samples used for immunohistochemistry by the Human Protein Atlas do not correspond to samples in the TCGA dataset.

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's choice of Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate seems to be uniting both Republicans and Democrats. The GOP is embracing the young, wonky addition to the ticket, while the left seems happy to be taking him on.
Here's a quick look at the pluses and minuses of the decision, from the point of view of the man at the top of the ticket.
The Right Is Thrilled: Romney's decision follows open campaigning for Ryan from conservative institutions like The Wall Street Journal's editorial page.
The conservative National Review editors reacted Saturday: "Governor Romney has made an inspired choice. Paul Ryan will make an excellent running mate and, if elected, vice president."
Romney Gets A Chance To Rise Above Small-Ball: As The Wall Street Journal put it in its editorial: "Mr. Obama and the Democrats want to make this a small election over small things — Mitt's taxes, his wealth, Bain Capital. As the last two months have shown, Mr. Romney will lose that kind of election."
By picking Ryan, who is known for his fiscal conservatism and his commitment to overhauling big federal programs like Medicare and Social Security, "Romney will move more boldly than most observers expected to try to shift the debate off his personal financial past and on to America's economic future," writes James Rainey in the Los Angeles Times.
Romney May Score Points In Wisconsin: The swing state went solidly for President Obama four years ago and hasn't voted for a Republican presidential contender since the 1980s. But "Ryan's blue-collar Wisconsin background and personal popularity — he's won his last six races with no less than 63% of the vote — could give Romney a boost there," says USA Today's David Colton.
It's Red Meat For Democrats: The left is going to sink its teeth into Ryan's budget plan and never let go. Obama and other Democrats have already been campaigning against it. In April, Obama said it was "so far to the right that it makes the Contract With America look like the New Deal."
"There was no one on Romney's short list of contenders [Democrats] wanted to run against more than the chairman of the House Budget Committee," Dan Balz writes in The Washington Post. "Romney has now assumed ownership of Ryan's budgetary plan and its provisions for reining in the cost of entitlement programs. Democrats will attack it and its author as vigorously as they have tried to savage Romney's business background and personal finances."
And the attacks on Ryan's plan — which, since it would eventually involve changes to Medicare, will be particularly targeted toward seniors — could breathe new life into Obama's campaign in the key swing state of Florida.
Experience Gap: Like Romney, Ryan lacks much foreign policy experience. And unlike Romney, he doesn't have a business or executive background.
"Besides summer jobs working at McDonald's or at his family's construction company, or waiting tables as a young Washington staffer, Ryan has none of the business-world experience Romney frequently touts as essential for governing," Ryan Lizza writes in The New Yorker.
PRO Or CON?
It Could Take The Focus Off President Obama's Record: In many quarters, Romney's bold pick is being viewed as an acknowledgement that trying to keep the campaign solely focused on President Obama's handling of the economy wasn't working out.
But, as John Harris and Mike Allen write in Politico, "It is hard to overstate the risks Romney is taking in making a choice that virtually guarantees a far-reaching debate about the broader role of government and the entitlement state. Simply put, it is a debate Republicans have almost never won when they've put it directly before voters in the past."

This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm David Greene.
And I'm Renee Montagne. Today at the stroke of noon in Washington D.C., the U.S. Treasury statutory authority to borrow money will expire. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: The statutory authority to borrow money expires at close of business, not at noon.]
GREENE: Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says there are ways to move some funds around to prevent a debt default, but only for the next three weeks. It's now up to Congress once again to raise the debt limit. In the past, House Republicans have used such an occasion to extract concessions such as spending cuts.
MONTAGNE: But this time President Obama and congressional Democrats say they refuse to negotiate on the debt limit and as NPR's David Welna reports, Republicans are showing little appetite for a fight.
DAVID WELNA, BYLINE: As the House wrapped up its last session of the week yesterday, Majority Leader Eric Cantor sought to downplay the fact that only seven legislating days remain before the Treasury expects to run out of money. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: The U.S. Treasury will not run out of money by the end of the month. Rather, it will completely exhaust its "extraordinary measures" for borrowing money and may not be able to pay the nation's obligations, as the bills on any given day may exceed the cash on hand.]
HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER ERIC CANTOR: I'm confident that the United States is not going to default on its debt and that we will resolve the need to increase the borrowing authority of this country prior to any deadline that the Treasury issues.
WELNA: Meanwhile, at a news conference below the Capitol, House Speaker John Boehner was being grilled by reporters about how and when the debt limit would be raised. Boehner promised there would be no default on the debt but he also said Republicans were still looking for, as he put it, the pieces to this puzzle.
HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER: We're in discussions with members about how we can move ahead. We've got time to do this. We're going to continue to work at it. No decisions - no decisions have been made.
WELNA: House GOP leaders have tried over the past few days to entice their members to pass a debt limit hike by offering to attach things to it such as building the Keystone XL pipeline or repealing a part of the health care law. At another news conference yesterday, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi scoffed at those efforts.
HOUSE MINORITY LEADER NANCY PELOSI: The only reason that the Speaker is adding those things is because his caucus does not want to vote to honor the full faith and credit of the (unintelligible) unless they have a cookie in their lunch.
WELNA: Some House Republicans simply won't vote for a debt limit increase that has no strings attached. One of them is North Carolina's Renee Ellmers.
REP. RENEE ELLMERS: I know there will probably be a handful of Republicans who would vote for a clean debt ceiling increase. I certainly can't be one of them.
WELNA: But many other House Republicans, including Florida's Tom Rooney fear a standoff over the debt ceiling would only hurt their party.
REP. TOM ROONEY: We've dug our heels in before and we flirted with, you know, default. We shut the government down. And that's just not, you know, a place that we want to go again.
WELNA: Idaho Republican Raul Labrador says the solution is simple.
REP. RAUL LABRADOR: If they're not going to negotiate then I think we should raise the debt ceiling. Let the Democrats vote for it and they can own it in the next election.
WELNA: Labrador says if the GOP majority simply votes present the Democratic minority could raise the debt ceiling. Fine, says Maine Democrat Chellie Pingree.
REP. CHELLIE PINGREE: You know, it's a little too clever and I don't know how the American public would perceive it, but if it keeps this from being stuck in Congress, shutting down the government, holding up the markets, making the world feel uncomfortable, I'm all for whatever they do to move this forward.
WELNA: Speaker Boehner did acknowledge, yesterday, that he will need Democrats to raise the debt limit. Even if making Mother Teresa a saint were the condition for hiking the debt limit, Boehner quipped, there probably would not be enough Republican votes to pass it. David Welna, NPR News, the Capitol.

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter says he will retire after this season, ending one of the greatest careers in the history of baseball's most storied franchise.
The 39-year-old captain posted a long letter on his Facebook page Wednesday saying that 2014 will be his final year.
A 13-time All-Star who has led the Yankees to five World Series championships, Mr. Jeter was limited to 17 games last season while trying to recover from a broken left ankle sustained in the 2012 playoffs.
"I know it in my heart. The 2014 season will be my last year playing professional baseball," he wrote.
[Poll: Should Derek Jeter have reitred a year earlier?]
Mr. Jeter was the last link to the powerful Yankees teams that won three straight World Series crowns from 1998-2000. Longtime teammates Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte retired after last year.
"Last year was a tough one for me. As I suffered through a bunch of injuries, I realized that some of the things that always came easily to me and were always fun had started to become a struggle," Mr. Jeter wrote. "The one thing I always said to myself was that when baseball started to feel more like a job, it would be time to move forward."
"So really it was months ago when I realized that this season would likely be my last. As I came to this conclusion and shared it with my friends and family, they all told me to hold off saying anything until I was absolutely 100% sure," he wrote.
"And the thing is, I could not be more sure," he wrote.
His agent, Casey Close, said Mr. Jeter wanted to declare his intentions before the Yankees start spring training later this week so that his future status wouldn't be a distraction.
Mr. Jeter is the Yankees' career hits leader with 3,316. He is a lifetime .312 hitter in 19 seasons, with 256 home runs and 1,261 RBIs.
Mr. Jeter has scored 1,876 runs and stolen 348 bases. He also is a five-time Gold Glove winner.
Last season, Mr. Jeter hit just .190 with one homer and seven RBIs.
Mr. Jeter has said he's fully ready for spring training this year and set to play.
Mr. Jeter worked out at the Yankees' spring training complex on Wednesday and left around noon, giving no hint that he was about to announce his plans.

Enchondromas are small benign tumors made up of cartilage that form in the bone beneath the toenail. Enchondromas are the most common bone tumors of the hands and feet and usually are painless. The tumor can involve large portions of the bones, causing thinning of the cortex. This can weaken the bone and cause it to break spontaneously. When enchondromas occur in the small bone in the end of the toe, they can cause pain that may mimic the pain of ingrown toenails.
Ollier's Disease, also known as enchondromatosis, frequently occurs in the small bones in the hands and toes (phalanges) and the long bones behind the phalanges, called metatarsals. This condition is characterized by multiple enchondromas.
Maffucci's Syndrome is a very rare form of enchondromatosis that combines multiple enchondromas in bones anywhere in the body with benign soft tissue tumors (known as hemangiomas), which are associated with blood vessels. This condition tends to appear in the hands and feet, and has a greater tendency toward malignant transformation than Ollier's Disease.
Because they are painless, most enchondromas are discovered when X-rays are taken for another reason. CT scans and MRI can also help in diagnosing enchondromas.
The majority of enchondromas require no treatment. Only in cases where the tumors are aggressive and begin destroying bone tissue do they require further attention, often surgical removal.

It was beautiful night. The city was at its sparkling midwinter best.
State Street near the Argo
Attendance numbered six, a startling 300% increase from the first meeting two weeks ago.
The knitters were made to feel very welcome by the café staff, and aside from an unfortunate encounter with hibiscus tea (Aidan is probably still trying to get the taste out of his mouth) were much pleased with the venue.
The jolly pre-theatre crowd waiting to see Wicked in the theater next door did much to add to the liveliness of the atmosphere. (Note to the Asian couple in matching red scarves: Get a room.)
The gathering discussed many topics of world import including:
- Rachel Ray, America's most famous lousy tipper,
- the proper technique for measuring sock heels,
- the latest issue of Vogue Knitting,
- the formation of Team Wales in the Knitting Olympics (more on that next post)
- the length of my camera lens, and
- yarn.
Jim (a fabulous knitter simply brimming with good advice)
Aidan (organizer, knitter, raconteur, mensch)
Jonathan (knitting a gorgeous sweater vest by that Scottish lady)
Michael (making a lovely sock while still managing to be enormously helpful to others)
Andy (ripping back a 20-year-old UFO that is now becoming a really nice scarf)

WASHINGTON — "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Dirty Harry" and "A League of Their Own" will be preserved for their enduring significance in American culture at by the Library of Congress, along with "A Christmas Story" and some pioneering sports movies.
They are among 25 selections the library is inducting Wednesday into the National Film Registry. Congress created the program in 1989 to preserve films for their cultural or historical significance. The latest additions bring the registry to 600 films that include Hollywood features, documentaries, independent films and early experimental flicks.
The newest film chosen for preservation is 1999's "The Matrix," noted for its state-of-the-art special effects and computer-generated animation with a style that drew on Hong Kong action films and Japanese anime to change science fiction filmmaking, curators noted.
The oldest film being preserved, "The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Title Fight," dates back 115 years to 1897. Film curators said the boxing movie helped establish the film industry as a successful business, drawing on the sport's popularity and controversy to generate $750,000 in income. Boxing was illegal in many states at the time but recently had been made legal in Nevada, which hosted the fight. The film, with a running time of about 100 minutes, became the longest movie ever produced at the time, showing the full course of the fight.
Another pioneering sports film, "They Call It Pro Football" from 1967 was chosen for how it changed the way football was portrayed on screen. Before then, football films were mostly highlight reels. National Football League commissioner Pete Rozelle decided the success of the NFL depended on its television image, to capture the struggle of the sport and not just the end result on the scoreboard.
The Librarian of Congress makes the selections each year after conferring with members of the National Film Preservation Board and receiving public nominations. To be considered, the films must be at least 10 years old.
"These films are not selected as the `best' American films of all time, but rather as works of enduring importance to American culture," said Librarian of Congress James Billington in announcing the selections. "They reflect who we are as a people and as a nation."
They also include some unforgettable characters. Audrey Hepburn landed the lead in 1961's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" even though writer Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe for the part. Film critics and the audience decided Capote was wrong and hailed Hepburn's portrayal.
"A League of Their Own" from 1992 received many public nominations for the film registry over the years. With a cast that included Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell, it told the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Numerous public nominations also were received for "Born Yesterday" from 1950 and "A Christmas Story" from 1983. Both were chosen this year. Other Hollywood features on the list include "Anatomy of a Murder" from 1959 and "3:10 to Yuma" from 1957.
Each title named to the registry will be preserved in the library's Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation, built partially in a bunker in Culpeper, Va., or through collaborations with other archives or studios.
Documentaries chosen this year include "The Times of Harvey Milk," made in 1984 about San Francisco's first openly gay elected official who was assassinated in 1978, and "Samsara: Death and Rebirth in Cambodia" from 1990 about the struggle to rebuild after Pol Pot's rule.
This year's selections include some firsts in film history. The 1914 film "Uncle Tom's Cabin," based on the anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, had been adapted earlier for movies with white actors in the lead roles. This was the first feature-length U.S. film to star a black actor when Sam Lucas was chosen for the part.
The library will also preserve the first "Kodachrome Color Motion Picture Tests" from 1922. The two-color film features leading actresses posing and miming for the camera to demonstrate the new color film. Before then, to show film in color, black and white images either had to be hand-painted or colored with a stenciling process. Inventors, including scientists at Kodak, began experimenting with ways to create true color film.
The Kodachrome test shown at Paragon Studios in New Jersey was the first publicly demonstrated color film that would attract interest from the American film industry. Later Technicolor would become the industry standard.
"Most every major Hollywood film from 1922 through the end of the silent era would have either a Kodachrome color sequence in it or Technicolor color sequence as a way of attracting audience interest," said Pat Loughney, chief of the library's audio visual preservation campus. "It's a technical, historical achievement, but it's important to the progress of inventive work that made motion pictures successful."

Running an operationally efficient call center that delivers a high-quality customer experience can be a difficult objective to achieve. Consumers are becoming increasingly know-how and their expectations for quality customer service and support is steadily growing. Most corporations may see a contact center as an added expense but as you weigh things down, you find that a call center is a necessity for your business to thrive. It is quite a task to systematically deliver excellent customer service while cutting down additional costs. This may seem intimidating, but it is definitely possible to transform your contact center into a profit-producing asset. But it is difficult to handle a call center with the upper level of customers' satisfaction.
Here, I am going to represent some ideas of specific strategies to empower your call center business to get the high level of customer satisfaction which will affect your sales graph positively.
Support social media:
While the phone remains at the heart of customer contact centers. There is an increasing need to effectively manage data from multiple channels thanks to the exponential rise in social networks like Twitter and Facebook. This requires solutions that have both the intelligence and flexibility to adapt changing market and consumer needs.
Social media has empowered consumers to become broadcasters or journalists, so speedy and flexible customer service is critical. A complaint sent via Twitter that is left unanswered could spread internationally overnight.
Empower your employee:
Employees are the main factor of a call center who have to communicate with customers directly. We can say that the employees are the heart of a company. So, enable your employees to make their own recommendations on improvements, after all, they are much closer to the working procedure than senior management.
A focused call center can help a brand realize its goal whether that be higher levels of customer satisfaction, more revenue per customer or driving increases in sales. Establishing the right policies and working practices can empower call center employees to support the brand and the business.
Refining Your Customer Service Strategy:
Your customer care center will work in tandem with your call center software to create synergies in your customer service department. One of the biggest advantages of this software is its ability to collaborate with your customer history. For instance, say you get calls from a long time customer on a monthly basis. Call center software can be set to display "screen pops," which allow the agent instant information as soon as the call is answered, reducing call times and customer satisfaction. Screen pops can be customized but most commonly will include customer purchase and return data on every inbound call.
It doesn't matter if you are making inbound or outbound phone calls providing customers and prospective clients with the right answers, faster can really streamline your sales efforts.
Know your customer:
Understanding the demographics of your customers is a key first step toward determining which tools and approaches will best help you achieve your business objectives. For example, tech-savvy customers will likely expect to connect with you through more technical channels, such as online forms, chat sessions, or social media drove community-based solutions. Less tech-savvy customers, on the other hand, may require more traditional, higher-touch solutions, such as phone, fax, or email.

It's hard to find someone who isn't using social media in some way, or at the very least isn't aware of its existence. Companies are becoming wise to this and are starting to utilize social media tools to build their brand, or bring in new customers. If your company does not use any form of social media, it may be time to look into getting your business out there.
Social media, once called a fad, has become the norm and is going to be with us for some time. A large number of companies already have an online presence, and are taking advantage of the benefits that social media can bring. Here are a number of things you can do to get your social media adventures underway.
Be Clear on Social Media
It's important that before you start looking into the different forms of social media that are out there, you are clear on what social media is, and what it isn't. Social media is a way to meet people, and share content and ideas with them. For companies it's a form of non-traditional marketing – think of it as soft marketing – it's not meant to be the place where you flog your products, rather a place to develop interest in your company, so people will want to do business with you. By using social media you can show people who your company is, and connect with them on a more personal level. If you are clear on what social media is from the beginning, there's a higher chance that you'll be successful when you develop your online presence.
Before You Launch Into Social Media
There are a number of things that your company needs to have either already done, or considered, before you jump in:
- Have a website: It's a good idea to have a solid website with information about your company, contact information, products and services. Most potential customers will look at your website after looking searching for you online, and before they choose to do business with you, so your website needs to provide the relevant information they are looking for. If you don't have a website, or feel yours is lacking, it's easier than ever to get a professional looking site. With a quick search you will be able to find some competent designers.
- Get educated: It will be beneficial to educate yourself on current trends regarding social media. This can be done by simply going to social media websites, taking the free introduction tours and reading blogs related to the sites. Beyond that you should also research your competitors' websites and Internet presence. Observe what content they have online, and more importantly: what they don't have. It will also help to connect with and observe industry experts, see what they post online, and note the style and tone they use. This will help provide you with a sound knowledge base from which you can then create a more effective online presence.
- Set goals: As with any step in business, you should have a plan with realistic goals. Aim for results that are achievable for your company. If you're a small, local IT company that focuses on providing support for banks, don't expect to have the same massive hype that Microsoft and Apple do. Clearly set objectives and review periodically.
- Develop a focus: In real life, you can't be all things to all people. The same goes for social media. You need to develop a focus on what type of online content you would like to share. You should aim to create content that your customers will want to share with people.
- Stake a claim: You should to go to the main social media websites – Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube – and reserve your personal and business usernames. This is important because it will make you look more professional by having the same username across all sites, and users will be able to find you easier.
- Ask for help if you need it: While some companies make social media sound easy, it can be deceptively hard to master. If you feel lost, or are having a tough time with it, there are knowledgeable consultants out there who are happy to help.
Time to Get Social
When you feel you know what direction you will take, it's time to start developing your online profiles. It can be tough to decide which social media tools to utilize. Unfortunately there is no right answer. Most small businesses follow the crowd, and this means having pages on Facebook and Linkedin. This does not mean that you should join these networks simply because they have the most users. It is recommended that you follow what similar businesses or direct competitors are doing. If they are on one service but not another, do the same to begin with, but be on the lookout for new social media sites, or features being added to existing sites.
One Thing to Not Forget
There is one really important thing we can share with businesses thinking of pursuing social media: it isn't a turnkey operation. You can't just, "set it and forget it." To be successful, you need to be active by posting updates, news, and above all interacting with the people who reach out to you. After all, they are your customers. If you do establish your social presence but forget to keep it up to date, you will be the company that's forgotten.
If you would like help with your social media strategy, please get in touch with us. We'd love to hear from you.

text: Whether it is evident or not, seniors and older adults comprise a significant percentage of individuals in the United States who struggle with drug and/or alcohol abuse and addiction. As the baby boomer generation ages, this will become an even bigger problem with an even bigger need for drug and alcohol rehab programs which are prepared to treat seniors and older adults who are in need of rehabilitation for addiction issues. Seniors and older adults are faced with many physical challenges as a result of their age, which can affect treatment outcome if not addressed concurrently. It is beneficial for seniors and older adults to find rehabilitation before any long term consequences come about.

The sexting scandal surrounding former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner has been fodder for comedians, punsters and those who love double entendres. Now it's the source material for a play, The Weiner Monologues, coming to off-off-Broadway's Access Theatre Nov. 6 through Nov. 10.
'Found Texts' (You Finish The Joke)
The Weiner Monologues began a couple of years ago, when a group of very young actors, most just out of Hunter College, were taking a summer workshop in New York. They were playing around with "found texts" — you know, items from the newspaper, or e-mails — and creating scenes from them. That was when Weinergate erupted. And when they hit the jackpot.
Jonathan Harper Schlieman, the show's co-creator, says there's not an original word in the script.
There are, however, various messages between Weiner and the women he met online, as well as newspaper articles, talk-show jokes, and the text of Weiner's own speeches. There's even an app you can access while you watch the play to see those famous pictures he took of himself.
John Oros, the show's other co-creator, says that at first, "the jokes and the double entendres were just too hard to ignore." But as they got into reading various transcripts and looking at the texts, "there were so many areas of our culture that this scandal touched upon that we thought [were] worth exploring."
They realized the piece wasn't really about Anthony Weiner — which is why, says Schlieman, the actor who plays him doesn't even try to look or sound like the former congressman. Instead, "it's about how the media has affected this sense of public and private in an age of the Internet and 24-hour news cycles and the twittersphere."
A Story Of Epic Proportions
At first, Schlieman and Oros didn't have a structure for the play. But then they started thinking about the mechanics and traditions of Greek tragedy.
"There are certainly Greek elements to it," says Schlieman. "In terms of a man being undone by his own hubris, it's up there with Oedipus, I think. It's a little bit funnier, hopefully. We also employ a Greek chorus."
That chorus represents both the media and the public, with one scene taken from a New York Times article interviewing people in Weiner's congressional district.
"I know every photo I have on my computer, and he should know every photo he has on his computer," the chorus member says. "As a congressman, he should know better! I would think everybody knows their undergarments. It would be weird if he didn't know."
Hubris: In every Greek tragedy, it's the pride that leads to a fall. And while we can laugh at a man who called himself Carlos Danger, who would fall from being one of the darlings of New York's progressives to coming in a distant fifth in the New York City mayoral primary, there's a poignancy when the actor playing Weiner gives this speech:
"Today I am announcing my resignation from Congress, so my colleagues can get back to work, my neighbors can choose a new representative, and most importantly so that my wife and I can continue to heal from the damage I have caused."
Larger Than Life, But Still Tragically Flawed
But why should we care?
"It's because it is a story we can tell each other. " Schlieman says. "It is the same thing as a bunch of shepherds gathering around by a fire to share a story. It is almost mythological. He is a larger-than-life character. All of our friends have been seeing Anthony Weiner in the street; I get five text messages a day, saying, 'Oh, he is in Barnes and Noble with his kid.' 'I saw him going for a jog in the park.'
"He is a celebrity. In our culture of celebrity worship, that makes him a god."
So maybe it's not exactly like Zeus having his way with all those nymphs and goddesses, but it is a story about real lives that rise and fall — on a plane that bridges the real world and realms ethereal.

All patterns are written assuming that the reader has a basic understanding of crochet and amigurumi, IE: working in rounds, sc increase and decrease, basic understanding of construction of the parts.
Sunday, June 19, 2011
Ok, second in the group is Private. Cute, naive, and the youngest of the team... he keeps them all grounded. He loves his 'Lunacorn' doll...even if the others kid him about it.
As always, if you find any problems in the pattern... or just get confused, let me know - I'll get back at ya ASAP :D
WW yarn in black and white, with a small amount of orange/yellow for beak and feet
G hook
15mm google eyes
Yarn needle
Sewing thread in suitable colors to match yarn and sewing needle
Gauge isn't important to this doll. As long as your yarn, hook and individual tension result in a stitch that is tight enough to prevent the stuffing from showing through, it's perfectly fine.
Numbers at the end of each round or row indicate how many total stitches should be in that round or row.
I recommend reading through each set of instructions before beginning, to familiarize yourself with the progression of that particular piece.
Pinning all the parts together before sewing is also highly preferable. It allows you time to decide if you're truly happy with each part, and make changes to individual parts before making them permanent.
Rnd 1: 8 sc in magic ring (8)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (32)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (40)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (48)
Rnd 7-20: sc in each sc around (48)
Rnd 21: sc in next 6 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (42)
Rnd 22-23: sc in each sc around (42)
Rnd 24: sc in next 5 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (36)
Rnd 25-26: sc in each sc around (36)
If you haven't begun stuffing already, now is a good time to begin. Stuff firmly while shaping, but don't over stuff. Continue stuffing as you progress.
Rnd 27: sc in next 4 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (30)
Rnd 28-34: sc in each sc around (30)
Rnd 35: sc in next 3 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (24)
Rnd 36: sc in next 2 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (18)
Rnd 37: sc in next sc, dec over next 2 sc around (12)
Rnd 38: dec over next 2 sc around (6)
F/O. Add any last little bit of stuffing that is needed to finish the shaping. Weave the tail through the final round of sc and tug to close up the opening. Secure and weave in the end.
Rnd 1-6: same as for head/body
Rnd 7-10: sc in each sc around (48)
Rnd 11: dec over first 2 sc, sc in each sc around to last 2 sc, dec over last 2 sc. Do not join, turn your work ( you will be working in rows from now on). (46)
Row 12-25: repeat round 11 (until 18 sc remain) (18)
Row 26: slip stitch over first 3 sc, ch 1. Sc in same stitch as last slip stitch. sc across to last 2 sc. Turn (14)
Row 27-28: sc in each sc across (14)
Row 29: 2 sc in first sc, sc in each sc across to last sc, 2 sc in last sc (16)
Row 30: repeat row 29 (18)
Row 31-32: sc in each sc across (18)
Row 33: slip stitch in next four sc, * sc in next 5 sc, turn your work, sc back across the last 5 sc, turn, sc in first sc, hdc in next, dc in next, hdc in next, sc in last sc. Slip stitch down the side back to row 32 *. Repeat * to *, slip stitch to end of row.
F/O weave in end.
Attach yarn to center back of piece. Sc in same stitch as joining, and sc evenly around the sides. Work 3 sc in each of the outside 'corners' at the top of the piece. Following the shaping around, sc evenly back down the other side to beginning, join to first sc with slip stitch.
F/O and weave in end.
FEET (make 4):
Using orange/yellow:
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12)
Rnd 3: * chain 6, slip stitch in second chain from hook, sc in next chain, hdc in next chain, dc in next chain, trbl in last chain. Skip one sc, slip stitch in next sc * , repeat * to * twice more (for three toes). Secure and F/O weave in end
Take two of the 'feet' and place them together, matching up the toes. Using a long piece of the matching yarn and yarn needle, whip stitch the two pieces together around the outside edges. Secure and weave in ends.
LEG (make 2):
(On this particular character, the leg portion is purely optional. Very often you don't see his 'legs' on the show - only the feet, but once in a while you do. I'm including the instructions for the leg if you choose to do that part. I prefered to attach the feet directly to the body, as I didn't find the legs added anything to the doll's overall look)
Begin with orange/yellow:
Rnd 1: chain 6, join to form a 'ring'. Chain 1 and sc around change to white in last sc, join to first sc of rnd.
Rnd 2: Chain 1, sc in same stitch as joining. * 2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc * repeat from * to * around to beginning, join to first sc with slip stitch.
Rnd 3: Chain 1, sc in same sc as joining. * 2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc * repeat from * to * around . F/O and secure tail, weave in end.
(when working the leg, you may have an 'odd' stitch left over in a round... this is ok, just sc in that stitch and join to begin next round)
Sew the 'leg' portion to foot as shown (orange section of leg is connected to 'foot')
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in last sc (8)
Rnd 3: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc (10)
Rnd 5: sc in next 4 sc, (hdc, dc, hdc) in next sc, sc in next 4 sc, (hdc, dc, hdc) in last sc (14)
Rnd 6: sc in next 5 sc, (hcd, dc, hdc) in next sc, sc in next 6 sc, (hdc, dc, hdc) in next sc, sc in last sc (18)
Rnd 7: sc in next 6 sc, (hdc, chain 4, sc in 2nd chain from hook and each of next 2 chains, hdc) in next sc, sc in next 8 sc, (hdc, chain 4, sc in 2nd chain from hook and each of next 2 chains, hdc) in next sc, sc in last 2 sc.
F/O. Flatten beak to shape. Stuffing shouldn't be needed.
WINGS (make 2):
Row 1: chain 5, sc in 2nd chain from hook and each chain across , turn (4)
Row 2-4: sc in each sc across, turn (4)
Row 5: 2 sc in first sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in last sc , turn (6)
Row 6-14: sc in each sc across (6)
Row 15: sc in first 4 sc, dec over last 2 sc (5)
Row 16: sc in each sc across (5)
Repeat rows 15 and 16 until 1 sc remains.
F/O. Weave in end. (slanted side of wing should be placed toward the 'back' of the doll when pinning to body)
I highly recommend pinning all the parts together before sewing. This gives you the chance to make sure you're happy with all the parts and their placement before making it permanent.
The 'white belly' fits snugly over the bottom and is smoothed and stretch up to the 'top' of the head as shown in the photo.
Beak is placed on the face area as shown. Feet are sewn underneath as shown.
Eyes are glued in place with a strong fabric/all purpose glue (I recommend E-6000 as it is very strong, washable, and will work on nearly every surface)
Wings are placed on the side of the doll as shown.

Oh, my little sister will love this! Thanks a ton for sharing!
Also, while I'm commenting, I'd just like to say how much I appreciate all your patterns. I taught myself how to crochet last spring when I found your Torchic pattern, and I've made a good chunk of your Pokemon patterns since then (I've started making up my own patterns, too). Everyone I know loves them, even my 86 year old grandma. Thank you so, so much for being so kind as to share your work. I really do appreciate it. - June 21, 2011 at 9:23 PM

I love your patterns!
I recently built up my courage and tried to follow the Mario Bros. Mushroom pattern, but ended up crocheting without the pattern and winging it. I just started reading crochet patterns even though I have been crocheting for a while now.
I was wondering if you would consider addding some kind of feature where I would be able to sort your patterns by difficulty?
=] I'm the kind of person who likes starting off with the easy stuff and when I get comfortable start the harder stuff.
Thank you again for these wonderful patterns, I'll be sure to crochet a lot of them.

I just finished making this and was wondering if you have a feature or a way that I can send you a picture of my Private Penguins of Madagascar Amigurumi doll using your pattern, so you can show others. Do you use ravelry? It lets you share patterns (free or for charge ones) and let others post their "made" creations to show others how theirs came out. I'd love to post my version for you to see. It came out really cute. Next up, Kowalski.

Hello. I'm currently working on this particular project and I'm excited to see how it turns out. I only have one piece of advice.
This did happen to be the first project I've tried on your site and when I read "Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24)" I got very confued as to what I needed to do. I ended up finally doing some math to figure out how to end up at 24. So my small piece of advice is to phrase that in a bit better way. One pattern I ue to make bunnies write it like this which I find very helpful. For example: sc 1, inc 1 -repeat X times- (Xst) - August 10, 2011 at 4:20 PM

Hey WolfDreamer!
First of all i want to say thank you for these wonderful pieces!
But I have a little problem, because I don't see the word "black" anywhere ^^ Do you begin with black or where in this pattern is the black head piece and the black back?
Thank you!
Love, Sara - November 12, 2011 at 2:04 AM
- WolfDreamer said...
The head/body is made in two separate pieces. First, the main body/head in black. Then the second piece is in white, which is then fitted to the main section and sewn on carefully.
This has two purposes. The first is that it adds a little extra bulk in just places where we want it. Secondly, it gives a far cleaner demarcation line between the white and black. If I had done it using the two colors in a single piece, it would have had a 'jagged' edge where the colors meet, and wouldn't have ended up looking as I wanted it to. :D - November 12, 2011 at 2:57 AM
- thestitchyginger said...
All your stuff is so great looking. I'm working on Mario and I thought he'd be a little bigger. How big does Private end up being? I want to make a penguin for my husband and I want it to be fairly big (~18" - 24"). I've tried looking for free penguin patterns and you have the best. If yours isn't that big, how can I make him bigger besides using a bigger hook, without having the stuffing show through?
Thanks and keep the awesome patterns coming! - December 5, 2011 at 8:14 AM
- ChemicalxStar said...
Hi I love you're pattern but I'm a little confused, when you say DEC do you mean decrease??
- December 6, 2011 at 3:17 PM
- WolfDreamer said...
yes, dec is a standard abbreviation for 'decrease'. :D
- December 6, 2011 at 9:58 PM
- ChemicalxStar said...
I'm a beginner at this so i just want to make sure.. By the way, is he suppose to be really small?
- December 7, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- WolfDreamer said...
The one I made (shown in the pictures) is approx. 9 inches tall.
Your finished size will vary depending on the type and brand of yarn you use, your hook, and your individual tension. :D - December 7, 2011 at 6:54 PM
- ChemicalxStar said...
Yeaaaah, I did something wrong.. What I think was suppose to be a head came out too pointy and I'm on round 36 of the Head/Body part.. Ugh >.< I really wish i didn't decide to make Christmas gifts so late. Is there any way you can create a video of anything that would clear the pattern up for me a little bit :(
- December 7, 2011 at 7:09 PM
- WolfDreamer said...
I don't have the equipment to make videos. Sounds to me as if you're making too many decreases. Are your round counts coming out even (according to the total stitches that should be in each round which are noted at the end of each round)
If your stitches are the right number, it might be either your tension, or the type of yarn you're using. - December 7, 2011 at 7:15 PM
- ChemicalxStar said...
I was a bit confused with the decreasing part. I thought you decreased twice every time I read "dec over next 2 sc around" Maybe that's what i did wrong? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions it's just i really want to get this pattern right it's so cute and I'm making it for a special someone.
- December 7, 2011 at 7:25 PM
- WolfDreamer said...
A decrease is made over 2 existing stitches (reducing the 2 stitches to a single stitch).
It may help you to go to youtube and search for 'single crochet decrease' to get a better idea of how to do this :D - December 7, 2011 at 7:29 PM
- ChemicalxStar said...
Ohh Ok thank you for clearing it up for me. Hopefully I dont mess up again
- December 7, 2011 at 7:31 PM
- WolfDreamer said...
You're doing just fine. :D
Everyone makes little mistakes at the beginning... that's how we learn new things :D - December 7, 2011 at 7:33 PM
- ChemicalxStar said...
Oh by the way when you say Round 28-34: sc in each sc around (30) does this mean i have to repeat it for every round? As in do the same thing for round 29 30 31 32 33 and 34?
- December 9, 2011 at 2:11 PM
- WolfDreamer said...
Yup, That's exactly it :D

- ChemicalxStar said...
I'm really sorry that i keep asking questions but now i really need your help. For the white belly I'm not sure what i did wrong at all i was fine until row 12-25 Can you please email me or something I really need your help. email@example.com
- December 12, 2011 at 4:17 PM
- ChemicalxStar said...
Oh and when you turn the work on the rows do you chain1 first then turn? Or just turn when you said to turn. Also if you didn't indicate to turn at all on a row do i turn when i advance to the next? And can you please help me clear up row12-25 on the white belly i'm really confused with that part. I've already tried 3 times..
- December 12, 2011 at 7:09 PM
