The Tidings
ADAM turned his face towards Broxton and walked with his swiftest stride, looking at his watch with the fear that Mr. Irwine might be gone out--hunting, perhaps. The fear and haste together produced a state of strong excitement before he reached the rectory gate, and outside it he saw the deep marks of a recent hoof on the gravel.
But the hoofs were turned towards the gate, not away from it, and though there was a horse against the stable door, it was not Mr. Irwine's: it had evidently had a journey this morning, and must belong to some one who had come on business. Mr. Irwine was at home, then; but Adam could hardly find breath and calmness to tell Carroll that he wanted to speak to the rector. The double suffering of certain and uncertain sorrow had begun to shake the strong man. The butler looked at him wonderingly, as he threw himself on a bench in the passage and stared absently at the clock on the opposite wall. The master had somebody with him, he said, but he heard the study door open--the stranger seemed to be coming out, and as Adam was in a hurry, he would let the master know at once.
Adam sat looking at the clock: the minute-hand was hurrying along the last five minutes to ten with a loud, hard, indifferent tick, and Adam watched the movement and listened to the sound as if he had had some reason for doing so. In our times of bitter suffering there are almost always these pauses, when our consciousness is benumbed to everything but some trivial perception or sensation. It is as if semi-idiocy came to give us rest from the memory and the dread which refuse to leave us in our sleep.
Carroll, coming back, recalled Adam to the sense of his burden. He was to go into the study immediately. "I can't think what that strange person's come about," the butler added, from mere incontinence of remark, as he preceded Adam to the door, "he's gone i' the dining-room. And master looks unaccountable--as if he was frightened." Adam took no notice of the words: he could not care about other people's business. But when he entered the study and looked in Mr. Irwine's face, he felt in an instant that there was a new expression in it, strangely different from the warm friendliness it had always worn for him before. A letter lay open on the table, and Mr. Irwine's hand was on it, but the changed glance he cast on Adam could not be owing entirely to preoccupation with some disagreeable business, for he was looking eagerly towards the door, as if Adam's entrance were a matter of poignant anxiety to him.
"You want to speak to me, Adam," he said, in that low constrainedly quiet tone which a man uses when he is determined to suppress agitation. "Sit down here." He pointed to a chair just opposite to him, at no more than a yard's distance from his own, and Adam sat down with a sense that this cold manner of Mr. Irwine's gave an additional unexpected difficulty to his disclosure. But when Adam had made up his mind to a measure, he was not the man to renounce it for any but imperative reasons.
"I come to you, sir," he said, "as the gentleman I look up to most of anybody. I've something very painful to tell you--something as it'll pain you to hear as well as me to tell. But if I speak o' the wrong other people have done, you'll see I didn't speak till I'd good reason."
Mr. Irwine nodded slowly, and Adam went on rather tremulously, "You was t' ha' married me and Hetty Sorrel, you know, sir, o' the fifteenth o' this month. I thought she loved me, and I was th' happiest man i' the parish. But a dreadful blow's come upon me."
Mr. Irwine started up from his chair, as if involuntarily, but then, determined to control himself, walked to the window and looked out.
"She's gone away, sir, and we don't know where. She said she was going to Snowfield o' Friday was a fortnight, and I went last Sunday to fetch her back; but she'd never been there, and she took the coach to Stoniton, and beyond that I can't trace her. But now I'm going a long journey to look for her, and I can't trust t' anybody but you where I'm going."
Mr. Irwine came back from the window and sat down.
"Have you no idea of the reason why she went away?" he said.
"It's plain enough she didn't want to marry me, sir," said Adam. "She didn't like it when it came so near. But that isn't all, I doubt. There's something else I must tell you, sir. There's somebody else concerned besides me."
A gleam of something--it was almost like relief or joy--came across the eager anxiety of Mr. Irwine's face at that moment. Adam was looking on the ground, and paused a little: the next words were hard to speak. But when he went on, he lifted up his head and looked straight at Mr. Irwine. He would do the thing he had resolved to do, without flinching.
"You know who's the man I've reckoned my greatest friend," he said, "and used to be proud to think as I should pass my life i' working for him, and had felt so ever since we were lads...."
Mr. Irwine, as if all self-control had forsaken him, grasped Adam's arm, which lay on the table, and, clutching it tightly like a man in pain, said, with pale lips and a low hurried voice, "No, Adam, no--don't say it, for God's sake!"
Adam, surprised at the violence of Mr. Irwine's feeling, repented of the words that had passed his lips and sat in distressed silence. The grasp on his arm gradually relaxed, and Mr. Irwine threw himself back in his chair, saying, "Go on--I must know it."
"That man played with Hetty's feelings, and behaved to her as he'd no right to do to a girl in her station o' life--made her presents and used to go and meet her out a-walking. I found it out only two days before he went away--found him a-kissing her as they were parting in the Grove. There'd been nothing said between me and Hetty then, though I'd loved her for a long while, and she knew it. But I reproached him with his wrong actions, and words and blows passed between us; and he said solemnly to me, after that, as it had been all nonsense and no more than a bit o' flirting. But I made him write a letter to tell Hetty he'd meant nothing, for I saw clear enough, sir, by several things as I hadn't understood at the time, as he'd got hold of her heart, and I thought she'd belike go on thinking of him and never come to love another man as wanted to marry her. And I gave her the letter, and she seemed to bear it all after a while better than I'd expected...and she behaved kinder and kinder to me...I daresay she didn't know her own feelings then, poor thing, and they came back upon her when it was too late...I don't want to blame her...I can't think as she meant to deceive me. But I was encouraged to think she loved me, and--you know the rest, sir. But it's on my mind as he's been false to me, and 'ticed her away, and she's gone to him--and I'm going now to see, for I can never go to work again till I know what's become of her."
During Adam's narrative, Mr. Irwine had had time to recover his self-mastery in spite of the painful thoughts that crowded upon him. It was a bitter remembrance to him now--that morning when Arthur breakfasted with him and seemed as if he were on the verge of a confession. It was plain enough now what he had wanted to confess. And if their words had taken another turn...if he himself had been less fastidious about intruding on another man's secrets...it was cruel to think how thin a film had shut out rescue from all this guilt and misery. He saw the whole history now by that terrible illumination which the present sheds back upon the past. But every other feeling as it rushed upon his was thrown into abeyance by pity, deep respectful pity, for the man who sat before him--already so bruised, going forth with sad blind resignedness to an unreal sorrow, while a real one was close upon him, too far beyond the range of common trial for him ever to have feared it. His own agitation was quelled by a certain awe that comes over us in the presence of a great anguish, for the anguish he must inflict on Adam was already present to him. Again he put his hand on the arm that lay on the table, but very gently this time, as he said solemnly:
"Adam, my dear friend, you have had some hard trials in your life. You can bear sorrow manfully, as well as act manfully. God requires both tasks at our hands. And there is a heavier sorrow coming upon you than any you have yet known. But you are not guilty--you have not the worst of all sorrows. God help him who has!"
The two pale faces looked at each other; in Adam's there was trembling suspense, in Mr. Irwine's hesitating, shrinking pity. But he went on.
"I have had news of Hetty this morning. She is not gone to him. She is in Stonyshire--at Stoniton."
Adam started up from his chair, as if he thought he could have leaped to her that moment. But Mr. Irwine laid hold of his arm again and said, persuasively, "Wait, Adam, wait." So he sat down.
"She is in a very unhappy position--one which will make it worse for you to find her, my poor friend, than to have lost her for ever."
Adam's lips moved tremulously, but no sound came. They moved again, and he whispered, "Tell me."
"She has been arrested...she is in prison."
It was as if an insulting blow had brought back the spirit of resistance into Adam. The blood rushed to his face, and he said, loudly and sharply, "For what?"
"For a great crime--the murder of her child."
"It CAN'T BE!" Adam almost shouted, starting up from his chair and making a stride towards the door; but he turned round again, setting his back against the bookcase, and looking fiercely at Mr. Irwine. "It isn't possible. She never had a child. She can't be guilty. WHO says it?"
"God grant she may be innocent, Adam. We can still hope she is."
"But who says she is guilty?" said Adam violently. "Tell me everything."
"Here is a letter from the magistrate before whom she was taken, and the constable who arrested her is in the dining-room. She will not confess her name or where she comes from; but I fear, I fear, there can be no doubt it is Hetty. The description of her person corresponds, only that she is said to look very pale and ill. She had a small red-leather pocket-book in her pocket with two names written in it--one at the beginning, 'Hetty Sorrel, Hayslope,' and the other near the end, 'Dinah Morris, Snowfield.' She will not say which is her own name--she denies everything, and will answer no questions, and application has been made to me, as a magistrate, that I may take measures for identifying her, for it was thought probable that the name which stands first is her own name."
"But what proof have they got against her, if it IS Hetty?" said Adam, still violently, with an effort that seemed to shake his whole frame. "I'll not believe it. It couldn't ha' been, and none of us know it."
"Terrible proof that she was under the temptation to commit the crime; but we have room to hope that she did not really commit it. Try and read that letter, Adam."
Adam took the letter between his shaking hands and tried to fix his eyes steadily on it. Mr. Irwine meanwhile went out to give some orders. When he came back, Adam's eyes were still on the first page--he couldn't read--he could not put the words together and make out what they meant. He threw it down at last and clenched his fist.
"It's HIS doing," he said; "if there's been any crime, it's at his door, not at hers. HE taught her to deceive--HE deceived me first. Let 'em put HIM on his trial--let him stand in court beside her, and I'll tell 'em how he got hold of her heart, and 'ticed her t' evil, and then lied to me. Is HE to go free, while they lay all the punishment on her...so weak and young?"
The image called up by these last words gave a new direction to poor Adam's maddened feelings. He was silent, looking at the corner of the room as if he saw something there. Then he burst out again, in a tone of appealing anguish, "I can't bear it...O God, it's too hard to lay upon me--it's too hard to think she's wicked."
Mr. Irwine had sat down again in silence. He was too wise to utter soothing words at present, and indeed, the sight of Adam before him, with that look of sudden age which sometimes comes over a young face in moments of terrible emotion--the hard bloodless look of the skin, the deep lines about the quivering mouth, the furrows in the brow--the sight of this strong firm man shattered by the invisible stroke of sorrow, moved him so deeply that speech was not easy. Adam stood motionless, with his eyes vacantly fixed in this way for a minute or two; in that short space he was living through all his love again.
"She can't ha' done it," he said, still without moving his eyes, as if he were only talking to himself: "it was fear made her hide it...I forgive her for deceiving me...I forgive thee, Hetty...thee wast deceived too...it's gone hard wi' thee, my poor Hetty...but they'll never make me believe it."
He was silent again for a few moments, and then he said, with fierce abruptness, "I'll go to him--I'll bring him back--I'll make him go and look at her in her misery--he shall look at her till he can't forget it--it shall follow him night and day--as long as he lives it shall follow him--he shan't escape wi' lies this time--I'll fetch him, I'll drag him myself."
In the act of going towards the door, Adam paused automatically and looked about for his hat, quite unconscious where he was or who was present with him. Mr. Irwine had followed him, and now took him by the arm, saying, in a quiet but decided tone, "No, Adam, no; I'm sure you will wish to stay and see what good can be done for her, instead of going on a useless errand of vengeance. The punishment will surely fall without your aid. Besides, he is no longer in Ireland. He must be on his way home--or would be, long before you arrived, for his grandfather, I know, wrote for him to come at least ten days ago. I want you now to go with me to Stoniton. I have ordered a horse for you to ride with us, as soon as you can compose yourself."
While Mr. Irwine was speaking, Adam recovered his consciousness of the actual scene. He rubbed his hair off his forehead and listened.
"Remember," Mr. Irwine went on, "there are others to think of, and act for, besides yourself, Adam: there are Hetty's friends, the good Poysers, on whom this stroke will fall more heavily than I can bear to think. I expect it from your strength of mind, Adam--from your sense of duty to God and man--that you will try to act as long as action can be of any use."
In reality, Mr. Irwine proposed this journey to Stoniton for Adam's own sake. Movement, with some object before him, was the best means of counteracting the violence of suffering in these first hours.
"You will go with me to Stoniton, Adam?" he said again, after a moment's pause. "We have to see if it is really Hetty who is there, you know."
"Yes, sir," said Adam, "I'll do what you think right. But the folks at th' Hall Farm?"
"I wish them not to know till I return to tell them myself. I shall have ascertained things then which I am uncertain about now, and I shall return as soon as possible. Come now, the horses are ready."

Why Evo Morales did a U-turn on the TIPNIS Amazon highway
Photo by Ivan Rodriguez Petkovic/Bolivian Express
As the global Occupiers movement gathers momentum, they would do well to look and learn from how protest is done in Bolivia. For the last two months, people from indigenous communities – be they pregnant, children, infirm or old – have endured hunger, exhaustion and police brutality on a march from their Amazon homeland to the seat of power in La Paz, 500 kilometres away and 4000 metres upwards.
Their highly-effective and determined action has successfully halted the construction of a major road straight through the middle of their protected rainforest territory, known as TIPNIS, the Spanish acronym for the Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory.
This is how the story unfolded: It was August when the government first announced a plan to build an industrial highway right through TIPNIS. The highway, to be financed by Brazil, is central to Morales' 'process of change', a concept within the government's 2009-Constitution that proposed a fresh approach to capitalism. Morales' version was to be an amalgamation of nationalisation, industrialisation and protection of specific ways of life, such as the indigenous world view of a living, Mother Earth or Pachamama.
Development vs destruction?
The government reasoned that the road would boost Bolivia's national development by connecting agricultural and commercial areas while also improving public services for inhabitants of the park.
But TIPNIS residents thought otherwise. They feared the road would bring increased drug trafficking, deforestation and damage to their flora and fauna. In mid-August more than 1000 people from the TIPNIS area set off to defend their way of life
Brutal repression by police late September, helped secure overwhelming public support for the marchistas. In solidarity, over 45 per cent of Bolivians sabotaged their ballots during judicial elections in mid-October.

By the time they arrived in La Paz, tens of thousands of people from all sections of Bolivian society poured out onto the streets to greet the weary marchistas like heroes. At the welcome ceremony in the Plaza de San Francisco, the leaders referred back to the landmark 1990 indigenous march which secured rights for their communities for the first time. This was only their second ever march, this time demanding that the rights they had won be respected.
As Bolivia's first indigenous president, Morales has cut an interesting figure on both the national and international stage, producing both smiles and scowls from different quarters
The marchers showed that the power of public protest in democratic Bolivia was as alive as ever. There was everything to lose and people were willing to sacrifice much to protect the rights they had fought long and hard for.
Morales' split personality
The TIPNIS road has brought Morales' competing agendas into a direct collision. The tenuous balance between rights, environmentalism and development has come close to collapse, rocking the entire nation and exposing Morales' often contradictory policies.
As Bolivia's first indigenous president, Morales has cut an interesting figure on both the national and international stage, producing both smiles and scowls from different quarters. His promotion of coca production, nationalisation of natural resources and opposition to transnational corporations has incurred the ire of the US and business elites.
But his unique approach to climate change and development has won him the title of 'World Hero of Mother Earth' within the UN and a celebrated protector of indigenous rights at home.
At the heart of the TIPNIS controversy lay Morales' divided identity – as indigenous leader on the one hand and socialist cocalero on the other.
Indigenous peoples' opposition to the TIPNIS road was driven by fear of the anticipated 'colonisation' of the area by working class cocoleros (coca farmers) who make up a significant proportion of Morales' support base, as well as speculation about possible oil reserves and manipulation by Brazil.
The two sides came close to exchanging blows in La Paz when pro-government movements came out in support of the highway and the 'process of change', a week before the marchistas were due to arrive.
The marchistas' bravery will inspire environmentalists and minority cultures all over the world
But regardless of what conflict of interests were at play for Morales, the public came down firmly on the side of the TIPNIS communities. The struggle had become a national symbol, forcing Morales to defend his environmental credentials in the face of overwhelming pressure.
'Vivir bien'
In Plaza de San Francisco, one marcher, Jose Sadivav from the indigenous confederation CONAMAQ was asked what the action meant to him. 'TIPNIS means history,' he replied. 'Since our ancestors, we have chosen to live in harmony with Mother Earth. It is who we are'.
He said the marchistas' bravery will inspire environmentalists and minority cultures all over the world. 'I think we have set an example. This will always be worth fighting for,' he concluded.
As the world reels from the excesses of global capitalism, small yet essential pockets of resistance appear, which force a recognition of alternative ways of being. They promote the idea of Vivir Bien, 'to live well' – a concept that Morales himself has proposed to the UN. This notion stands in opposition to the destruction wrought by competitive and exploitative capitalism. As the marchistas return home, the people of La Paz thank them for their courage and bravery. They have shown that Bolivians have the power to tip the balance in their favour.

LINCOLNWOOD, IL—It's Tuesday morning and Michael Royce, 27, is about to begin his day. Steeling himself for the wild journey ahead, this bold techno-traveler coolly presses a button, boots up his mainframe, and jacks into a strange, high-tech futurescape.
For Royce inhabits a sci-fi universe where his every transaction and correspondence occurs at lightning speed across the vast electronic data-stream known as "cyberspace."
"I usually check a couple news sites first thing in the morning," Royce says as he instantaneously uplinks current events from across the globe on his brightly illuminated view-screen. "CNN.com and Huffington Post are pretty good."
"I'm just going to check my e-mail real quick," he adds, conjuring, as if by magic, an entirely new info-box of data from out of the online ether.
In the blink of an eye, this real-life Johnny Mnemonic keys in his encrypted, top-secret passcode and enters the fortified binary area from which all his personal communiqués are sent forth in a dizzying array of ones and zeroes.
As if it were just a natural part of his day, Royce calmly surveys a torrent of classified cyber messages that flicker before his eyes in a mad rush. It's a chaotic scene, but Royce doesn't panic, for he is the lord and master of this virtual dimension.
A lone cyber-wolf, he prowls not the bustling streets of the analog world, but the electric avenues of the metaverse.
"I found these really cool shoes on Zappos the other day," Royce says cryptically as he scans the contents of a dispatch from an info-merchant thousands of miles away. "They've got some good deals, actually. You should check it out."
Utilizing invisible digi-creds to purchase goods electronically, Royce navigates a vast cyber marketplace containing every item imaginable. But he needn't look too hard, for this is an interactive realm in which all of his preferences and desires are predicted automatically by the net-stream.
Royce's bizarre electric world may seem like some fantastical realm, but it is also fraught with peril. Bands of roving cyber-thieves lurk around every corner, ready to hack into his motherboard and steal his virtual identity. The firewall defenses he has constructed around him can only keep intruders away for so long: every day, they're getting smarter—and stronger.
"Why do I get all these pop-ups now?" asks Royce, who over the years has masked his true identity so cunningly behind a variety of electronic avatars that it is nearly impossible to tell which version of him is currently speaking to reporters. "It's so annoying."
"I should download a new blocker," Royce adds.
Though his high-tech, cybertronic existence may appear overwhelming to the rest of us, it is the only way this weary wanderer of circuits and space knows how to live. And until the day our world catches up with his, Royce will be out there on the virtual nexus, searching.

Climate Change Linked to Waterborne Diseases in Inuit Communities
A recent study may warn of more widespread threats to water quality.
This story is part of a special National Geographic News series on global water issues.
As global warming triggers heavier rainfall and faster snowmelt in the Arctic, Inuit communities in Canada are reporting more cases of illness attributed to pathogens that have washed into surface water and groundwater, according to a new study.
The findings corroborate past research that suggests indigenous people worldwide are being disproportionately affected by climate change. This is because many of them live in regions where the effects are felt first and most strongly, and they might come into closer contact with the natural environment on a daily basis. For example, some indigenous communities lack access to treated water because they are far from urban areas. (See a map of the region.)
"In the north, a lot of [Inuit] communities prefer to drink brook water instead of treated tap water. It's just a preference," explained study lead author Sherilee Harper, a Vanier Canada graduate scholar in epidemiology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. "Also, when they're out on the land and hunting or fishing, they don't have access to tap water, so they drink brook water."
The experiences of the Inuit and other indigenous communities as they struggle to adapt to changing climate conditions could help guide humanity in the coming years when the effects of climate change are felt universally, scientists say.
"These societies are like crystal balls for understanding what could happen when these changes start materializing over the next few decades down south, as they surely will," said James Ford of McGill University, an expert in indigenous adaptation to climate change who was not involved in the study.
"Scientists often talk about how if global temperature increases by 4 degrees Celsius [7°F], there will be catastrophic climate change effects, Ford said, "but where I work in the Arctic, we've already seen that 4-degree Celsius change."
(Related: "Indigenous Peoples Can Show Path to Low-Carbon Living")
Weather and Illness
Ford said the new study is the first to draw a link between climate change and disease in Canadian Arctic communities. "Water issues have been largely neglected in the [climate change] scholarship," he said.
"Before this study, there was very little understanding of the burden of illness of waterborne disease in the Arctic . . . The baseline that we have from this study will allow us to track whether changes in behavior make a difference in the future," said Ford.
Harper's Inuit research, published in a recent issue of the journal EcoHealth, is part of a multiyear comparative study of how extreme weather events affect waterborne disease outbreaks in aboriginal communities around the globe.
The team is conducting similar studies among the Batwa pygmies in Uganda and the Shipibo people in Peru. The trials are still under way, but preliminary results suggest that, like the Inuits, these groups are also starting to feel the health effects of climate change-related weather patterns.
Boosting Native Health Systems
For each of the communities studied, Harper and her team documented the local weather patterns using weather stations; conducted weekly water tests; and searched clinical records for reports of vomiting and diarrhea. The team also conducted surveys to gather information about local lifestyles.
Combining and analyzing these various data together uncovered some interesting patterns. For example, "our research found that after periods of heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, there is an increase of bacteria [such as E. coli] in the water, and about two to four weeks later there is an increase in diarrhea and vomiting," Harper said.
In Uganda, the team found that families that don't keep their animals in shelters are about three times more likely to get sick after periods of heavy rain. The team suspects pathogens from the animal feces are getting washed into the drinking water.
Harper's studies are part of a larger endeavor—the Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change, or IHACC, project. It aims to combine science and traditional knowledge to strengthen health systems in indigenous communities.
One of the IHACC project goals is to use data from the studies to advise local policymakers and help develop ways to improve the health of those in the affected communities. Strategies for reducing waterborne disease, for example, might be as simple as building animal enclosures or establishing protected sources of water for drinking, Harper said.
(Related: "Tapping Wisdom of the Elders")
Widespread Changes
In Rigolet, a small Inuit town studied by Harper's team, the findings from the study have already led to changes in the community, said Charlotte Wolfrey, mayor of the town.
"We're asking people when they go to their cabin not to drink brook water and instead take water that has been chlorinated to eliminate bacteria," Wolfrey said. "We also have posters around town reminding people that if they're going to drink [untreated] water, they need to boil it first."
Wolfrey, who has spent nearly 40 years of her life in Rigolet, says that climate change has forced the people in her town to question things that were once taken for granted, such as places in the ice where one can safely cross, or seasonal water routes for boats.
"With climate change, that knowledge that was passed down from generation to generation doesn't count anymore," she said. "We can't trust it."
The lessons learned in Rigolet and other indigenous communities could someday benefit humanity as a whole because their problems could soon become global problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), for example, most of the climate change-related disease burden in the 21st century will be due to diarrheal diseases.
"The climate change impact on waterborne disease is not just an Arctic issue, or just an indigenous issue," Harper said.
McGill University's Ford agreed. "If we look at what happens in the Arctic and how climate change plays out with its societies and people, we'll increase our understanding of how as a globe we are going to respond to climate change," he said.
Ford says his time among the Inuit has made him "cautiously optimistic" that climate change is a problem that humans will be able to adapt to, if not solve.
"When I first went to work up north more than ten years ago, there were all sorts of news reports about how climate change was going to threaten the Inuit. But when I started working with them, the thing that struck me is that many people said, 'We're resilient. We'll adapt.' So I think we'll stand a good chance of weathering whatever changes might happen," Ford said.
But, he added, "Things will have to be done to get there. We can't just wait and hope we adapt. We have to be proactive."

Belgian Hare
The Belgian Hare rabbit is the breed responsible for the domestic rabbit movement in the United States. Although the original rabbits can be traced to Belgium, the credit for their perfection must be given to the British. The London Zoological Gardens imported a few rabbits for display as early as 1856, but it was Winter "William" Lumb and Benjamin Greaves who had the greatest impact on the development of the breed after their importation of several animals from Antwerp in early 1873. Some claimed the Belgian Hares were actually a fertile mule (a cross between a rabbit and the European hare), however Winter Lumb prevailed in his stand that it was a rabbit, pure and simple, that was bred to resemble the wild hare.
The first Belgian Hares reached America in 1888, when. E.M. Hughes, of Albany, New York imported a few animals. Hughes, along with W.N. Richardson of Troy, NY and. G.W Felton of Barre, MA, founded the first rabbit club in America, the American Belgian Hare Association. The club lasted but a year and was later replaced by another club, which was organized in 1897. What became known as the "Belgian Hare Boom" took this country by storm. From 1898 to 1901 many thousands of Belgian Hares were imported to America. The British shipping firm of Sutton & Company alone "safely conveyed" over 6,000 Belgian Hares to the United States in 1900. Rabbits were exchanging hands for hundreds and thousands of dollars, with a record price of $5,000 paid for one male in 1900. Large companies dealing with Belgian Hares were established and Belgian Hare Clubs could be found in nearly every major city. Millionaires of the day, such as J. P. Morgan, Rockefeller, H.M. Flagler, Dupont, and the Guggenheims, saw the money making potential of this popular rabbit. Los Angeles County alone boosted over 60,000 animals in 1900. The market had become so heavily saturated, however, that prices for stock dropped to less than $25.00 for a fine exhibition animal. Despite the fact that Belgian Hare was common menu fare, the breed continued to decline due to the development of other more commercial breeds. By the 1940's Belgian Hares became a scarce animal in the showrooms of this nation, as it had throughout the world. Dedicated fanciers worldwide struggled to keep the breed from extinction.
Belgian Hares are a very racy and fine-boned breed of rabbit, with a deep rich red color that has black-waved ticking to the fur. The type and fur qualities are lost when crossed with other breeds. While not considered the hardiest of breeds, they are an active rabbit that typically requires wooden floored hutches heavily bedded with shavings and straw. Belgian Hares do not do well with extremely high humidity or heat. They are fair mothers and litters will average 4 to 8 kits. Youngsters are slow to mature. Mature bucks and does will weigh 6 to 9 lbs.

Story highlights
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown welcomes Malala Yousafzai's release
She will continue to receive treatment as an outpatient, the hospital says
The 15-year-old will probably undergo cranial reconstructive surgery in the next month
She was shot by Taliban gunmen for promoting education for girls
With the prospect of more surgery ahead and under the shadow of Taliban threats, courageous teen activist Malala Yousafzai was recovering at her temporary home Friday after being discharged from a British hospital.
In an attack that propelled her to global recognition, Malala was targeted in Pakistan by Taliban gunmen for speaking out in favor of education for Pakistani girls. She was left with life-threatening head and neck wounds.
Now, almost three months later, she's on the mend but far from fully recovered.
Doctors plan to perform cranial reconstructive surgery on her within the next month, replacing a shattered portion of skull with either her own bone or a titanium plate.
The hospital released a photo to the news media showing a half-smiling Malala waving to photographers wearing a tan, gray and black scarf.
Photos: Malala and the women of Pakistan
Video footage also showed her walking along a hospital corridor, her hand clasped in that of a nurse, waving goodbye to staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham – her home for nearly three months.
The transformation from images released immediately after Malala was admitted on October 15 – which showed her face bruised and a breathing tube in place – is dramatic.
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his wife welcomed her progress Friday, saying on Twitter: "Good news that Malala is well enough to leave hospital. We wish her well as her recovery continues with her family."
"Malala is a strong young woman and has worked hard with the people caring for her to make excellent progress in her recovery, said Dr. Dave Rosser, the medical director of the University Hospitals Birmingham who's overseen her care.
"Following discussions with Malala and her medical team, we decided that she would benefit from being at home with her parents and two brothers."
As she recovers with her family at a house in the West Midlands, Pakistan's consulate in Birmingham has hired Malala's father as an education attache.
Her parents and younger brothers, Khushal and Atul, traveled to England in the fall to be with her as she goes through the long rehabilitation process.
Ziauddin Yousafzai will function as head of the consulate's education section for three years, the Pakistani government said. His job could be extended for two additional years.
iReport: Your messages for Malala
The 15-year-old became an international symbol of courage after she was shot by Taliban gunmen last fall for her crusade about girls going to school.
She had blogged fearlessly about girls' education and accused the Taliban of thriving on ignorance. The Taliban forbid girls in the classroom and have threatened to kill anyone who defies them.
Pakistan's Malala: Global symbol, but still just a kid
Malala was in a school van in the area on October 9 when the gunmen stopped the vehicle and demanded that other girls tell them who was Malala. They identified her. Malala was then shot, as were two other girls who survived the attack with lesser injuries.
Malala was left in a critical condition, with her father later describing her survival as a miracle.
When he left Pakistan to join his daughter, Ziauddin Yousafzai told reporters he intended to return to his native country as soon as she had recovered. It is not clear whether his appointment will mean the entire family stays long term.
At the time of his daughter's shooting, he ran a school in Pakistan's conservative Swat Valley that kept its doors open to girls – in defiance of the Taliban.
Watch: Who are the Pakistani Taliban?
The attack on Malala prompted outrage and wide outpourings of support, in Pakistan and overseas.
But even as anger about her shooting intensified, the Taliban issued a statement online saying that if Malala lived, they'd come after her again.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik promised government protection if the schoolgirl does return to Pakistan. Pakistani authorities are paying for her medical care in Britain.
Since her shooting, Malala has become an international figure. She was selected as runner-up for Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2012. CNN and Time are owned by Time Warner Inc.

Meet and greet: that was the name of the game at the Catholic Writers Guild Live Conference last week. (It's called a Live Conference because there's also an online version in the spring!)
I started right off meeting and greeting as I filled in at the registration desk, stuffing bags and checking in a few authors. My first conference selfie wound up being photobombed.
Why the selfies? There was a contest. That started off being just for fun, but then there were prizes!
I am terrible at selfies, but it was fun.
More meeting and greeting continued at the Tuesday-night ice cream social. I got to meet my boss, Lisa Hendey of CatholicMom.com, who declared that I'm shorter than I appear on the Internet. Yes, before Tuesday, I had never met my boss or even spoken with her over the phone. Internet magic!
I got to meet authors and an editor at breakfast the next day. I wished I'd brought along my copy of Unleashed so Sonja Corbitt could have signed it. I suppose a hug will have to do.
I participated in a panel discussion on third-order religious life with Benedictine Oblate Margaret Rose Realy and Lay Dominican Erin McCole-Cupp.
The conference theme was Perseverance, and I listened to two excellent presentations on that theme.
From Pat Gohn:
God's steadfast love is the basis for our perseverance.
From Margaret Rose Realy, Obl. OSB:
Schedules matter; if you're consistently off-schedule that means your plan isn't realistic.
So true. I know all about unrealistic plans.
I enjoyed lunch with Lisa, worked a couple of shifts at the Trade Show booth where I answered questions about what the Catholic Writers Guild does and recommended some of my favorite books by Guild authors.
The Wednesday dinner table included me, one kids' fiction writer, two sci-fi writers, one horror writer, one poet, one Sherlock Holmes fanfic writer and two fiction writers. I'll leave the conversation topics to your imagination and promise that it was even more outrageous than that.
Thursday's breakfast banquet offered an opportunity to meet some of the wonderful CatholicMom.com authors I work with. The only drawback: there was a banquet speaker, so we had to eat quietly and listen, but all we wanted to do was visit with each other!
I met an illustrator and was asked for feedback on her manuscript. I chatted with a bookstore owner about the need for good Catholic books for kids. I did a little shopping–got a St. Francis "bag booster" from CatholicArtWorks.com, a neat family business where Mom does the art and the teenage daughters do custom and unique beadwork. No two bag boosters are alike! And these are not cheesy plastic. That stained-glass piece is heavy and sturdy.
This little Nativity came from Ole Peru Imports. She had Nativity scenes of all sizes from Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. All are handmade and unique.
And I purchased two notebooks from Jen Norton, who did the cover art for Sarah Reinhard's Word by Word book, for which I was a participating author.
I met so many people whose work I admire, and so many others whose work I'm just beginning to know. It was a wonderful event!

You may have noticed a new pose appearing in photos of celebrities. The "hand heart" is horning in on the peace sign's territory, but now the "demure, loving" gesture has sparked arguments over who created it.
The symbol has been around for quite some time, which of course means the New York Times Style Section is ready to declare it a hot new trend. The hand heart has been featured in everything from a LensCrafters ad to the opening credits of Ice Loves Coco. Celebrities including Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Blake Lively, Jordin Sparks, Katy Perry, and Janet Jackson, have also flashed the sign. It's been popping up in even more stars' Twitter and Facebook accounts in recent weeks to due to the charity Show Your Hearts, which supports a family involved in a tragic fatal car crash.
Taylor Swift is credited with popularizing hand hearting, and she suggests to the Times that she may have invented it. She says she started doing it in pictures and out of car windows when she was in high school. She adds:
"At the end of my sophomore year, I left school and went out on a radio tour to play free show after free show ... I was an unknown act playing shows night after night, and I was constantly trying out all kinds of different moves to try and get a response from the audience."
The hand heart got a huge response, so Swift began doing it frequently, to the point that fans consider it hers alone. When Lady Gaga started making the sign in photos, and even her video for "Judas," fans on Swift message boards accused her of plagiarism. (According to her critics, Gaga is just an amalgamation of bits "stolen" from every artist on the planet.) The commenter Longlivetaylor explains that they were enraged because it was, "like a code word almost, special to us swifties and now everyone is going to start doing so it won't feel special anymore."
Swifties must be feeling profoundly unspecial now that the gesture has made it to the Times. It seems the world was crying out for what Swift says is a way to express, "something between 'I love you' and 'thank you.'" The move is a bit cloying, but in celebrities' defense, Jack Donaghy informed us that actors never know what to do with their arms. We'd imagine stars are similarly lost when 10,000 strangers are repeatedly screaming that they love them.

Bafta-winning writer/director Amma Asante returns with an unusual period drama. Wendy Mitchell visits the set of Belle, which is produced by Damian Jones and sold by Bankside
It all started with a painting. Producer Damian Jones (The Iron Lady) got the idea for the project that would become Belle when he saw a 1779 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle, a mixed-race girl who was raised in the aristocratic home of the Earl of Mansfield in England. Her story is told against the backdrop of Mansfield's influential legal ruling declaring slavery unlawful in the country.
Jones thought it would be a perfect match for Amma Asante, who directed the gritty 2004 Bafta winner A Way Of Life. "I was a big fan of A Way Of Life and I had been talking to her about other projects. This was a wonderful opportunity to match her with this material," he says. "Amma delved even deeper into the archives [to learn more about Mansfield and Belle]."
The writer/director says: "I was intrigued by it." She adds that the painting's depiction of Belle as a near-equal subject, not a servant, alongside her cousin was crucial. "I thought, 'This is different. This is not of its time.' This painting is such evidence of a life that was lived. You start imagining the story behind the picture.
"The fascinating things are the gender and class issues," Asante adds. "The race issue is the layer on top. It's a story in which Mansfield was making all the choices. So then how do I create the story so she's not a passive actor in her own life? A girl who says, 'As you wish,' and becomes a woman who says, 'As I want.'"
There is plenty in the historical record about Lord Mansfield but far less is known about Belle. "Everything we do know [about her], we used and that's linked together with fiction," says Asante. "I felt freedom as a writer — I didn't tie myself into making this a documentary or a history lesson." (Misan Sagay is the credited writer on the project, both story and screenplay.)
Assante and Jones have been working on the film for three years. It had early development support from Chris Collins at the UK Film Council, later the BFI (the film has since been given BFI Film Fund backing of $2.06m for production support). Sales and financing company Bankside Films also came on board at an early stage. CinemaNX will release in the UK and Bankside has presold to Icon in Australia, Benelux Film Distributors in Benelux, Rialto in Switzerland, Shooting Stars in the Middle East, Bonton in Czech Republic and Jaguar for world airline rights.
The executive producers are Steve Christian, Julie Goldstein, Ivan Dunleavy, Steve Norris, Phil Hunt and Compton Ross. Backers also include Isle of Man Film, Pinewood Films, Head Gear Films and Metrol Technology. The budget is $10.9m, which is ambitious for a period film. "As British films go, it was kind of a smooth-ish road," Asante says with a laugh.
Once financing was secured, the next step was assembling the cast. Gugu Mbatha-Raw (TV's Touch) plays Dido Belle and Sam Reid (Anonymous) plays her love interest John Davinier, with the cast also featuring Sarah Gadon, Tom Wilkinson, Tom Felton, Penelope Wilton, James Norton, Emily Watson, Miranda Richardson and Matthew Goode. Of the cast, Jones says: "They are all supremely talented ‹ there's no weak link."
Finding the perfect actress for the lead was a challenge, however. "We met a lot of girls, it wasn't easy," says Asante. "Whoever was going to play Dido was going to have to play with the other names like Tom Wilkinson. We couldn't have someone who was going to wilt, [we needed] someone who had the charisma and strength and vulnerability and the confidence to play her. We also needed someone who could work through this tough schedule." The film will finish its 36-day shoot in early November. The first half, which was mostly exteriors, took place on the Isle of Man. "Shooting on the Isle of Man was great," says Jones. "I had reservations, especially about a period film. But you can achieve so much there with an open-minded director, production designer and DP. There is also beautiful nature there."
The second half of the shoot took place in London and Oxford, with locations including West Wycombe Park, Syon Park, Osterley House, Bedford Square and the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. "They all morph into Kenwood House or Bloomsbury," says Jones (the real Kenwood House in Hampstead, London, was unavailable for shooting due to restoration work). Most heads of department "are less obvious for period films", Jones notes, and they included cinematographer Ben Smithard, production designer Simon Bowles and editor Pia Di Ciaula.
Belle should be completed by late spring and a late 2013 release is likely, with hopes for some awards attention.
The director herself says: "It is only my second film and it's quite a big jump." But she adds that she loves "finally being back behind the camera" and that the wait for her third feature should be shorter. "I will try my damnedest not to leave it so long," she says, with a laugh.

This is a guide for Exit Path that will help you become better and become a GrandMaster at it. I will include uniplayer tips, how to get all the caution signs, flairs, how to reduce lag, multiplayer tips, achieving the GrandMaster rank the quickest, how to double jump, the stages that require the double jump, optional stages for the double jump, stages that don't need the double jump, all the stages, and how to play Exit Path in full screen mode.
Uniplayer tips:
Do you want to know how some people finish the uniplayer mode so quickly?
Some people are really good at it and conserve their flow. You can do that by letting the flow get over the line and just tap it repeatedly. Also, they utilize the double jumps that are in the game.
Some people have found a glitch in the game. It's fairly easy to do. All you do right before you die or if an axe is about to hit you, you can press the "ause" button and it will pause your player in that spot, you won't die. It will assist you in getting an excellent uniplayer time.
Here's a video that shows you how to do it:
Pause glitch
Another nifty thing on uniplayer that many players use for their advantage is the refresh button. Example: You're at stage 29 and you're attempting to do the shortcut then you die. You can just exit out of uniplayer then refresh page and it'll restart you to the time you had before you died. You can keep using the refresh thing when you die on certain stages to restart them, it'll improve your time greatly.
Some people ranked highly on the uniplayer leaderboards didn't use the "ause glitch" nor did they use the "refresh thing". All they did was use the flow wisely and the double jumps at certain places that require it for a better uniplayer time.
Here's a few uniplayer videos:
Uniplayer: GhostOfZero
Uniplayer: GhostOfPain
Uniplayer: AngelOfTime
I recommend anyone that wants to get a faster time on the uniplayer to watch all these videos that are posted and also read all the tips.
Caution signs:
On uniplayer you need to gather all the caution signs and perform certain things that will get you flairs. On the start screen there is a button that says "flairs" and it will tell you how to earn them. You read them and then go onto uniplayer and perform what it tells you. Some flairs are also earned in multiplayer mode, you'll have to do certain tasks in multiplayer mode to get the flairs.
For the caution signs, that's a task you will need to use your eyes for on uniplayer mode.
You can always watch this video for some help:
Caution sign locations
Uniplayer flairs:
Multiplayer flairs:
Simply complete the objectives to get the flairs.
Reducing lag on a PC:
On uniplayer or multiplayer press the quality button and it should bring the lag down a lot. You can also reduce it even more by turning JavaScript off.
Here's a program that will clean out your PC and make it run faster:
Right click on the Exit Path screen > click "Settings" > move the thing all the way to the left so it's at unlimited storage.
Download and install Auslogics Disk Defrag and Defraggler. Those two programs clear up disk space and maintain and improve your computers performance.
For the other programs, you can download them on Ninite or CNET.
By doing those things mentioned you will have basically no lag in Exit Path and it will improve your run times.
Reducing lag on a Mac:
On uniplayer or multiplayer press the quality button and it should bring the lag down a lot, You can also reduce it even more by turning JavaScript off.
Here's are some programs that will clean out your Mac and make it run faster:
Right click on the Exit Path screen > click "Settings" > move the thing all the way to the left so it's at unlimited storage.
Download and install Auslogics Disk Defrag and Defraggler. Those two programs clear up disk space and maintain and improve your computers performance.
For the other programs, you can download them on Ninite or CNET.
By doing those things mentioned you will have basically no lag in Exit Path and it will improve your run times.
Multiplayer tips:
In each stage on the multiplayer mode you tap the flow. Don't use it all or you'll be going slower. I find that flowing at the right times will allow you to finish the stages faster.
(Watch the videos that are being posted.)
There is a way you can practice certain stages. On a laptop and desktop disconnect yourself from the Internet and it'll say that you are disconnected from the game and the people in the stage will be frozen on your screen. You'll be able to move and practice the stage. On my laptop I close the screen for about thirty seconds then open it back up and I'm disconnected. On a desktop I think you'll have to disconnect one of the cords, or bring up Internet access and disconnect yourself. Another way of practicing stages is to log into your account then log out on the Exit Path screen, go to multiplayer and your username will be "Null" then when you play a stage there will be no one in the stage.
Also, using the shift key is better than using the space bar. I notice when you attempt the double jump, the shift key is more responsive than the space bar. Seeing that I'm on a laptop and when I play my hands are too close together, I like using the shift key instead of space bar.
Achieving GrandMaster rank the quickest:
Are you stuck at a certain rank on multiplayer?
You should start giving other players "kudos" and they will most likely return the favor. It also helps to be nice to the other players.
The kudos make you level up quickly and are very useful to gain more experience points. Using the double jump to finish quicker, practicing levels, and winning will give you more experience points.
The amount of experience points required for the GrandMaster rank is 102,500.
Double jump:
There are two ways of performing the double jump. One is with flow and one is without flow.
Double jump with flow:
When you are near a wall hold down flow and press the up key a few times.
Double jump without flow:
Run against a block and press up, you should be in standing position then you press up again.
(Watch the videos to actually see it.)
Stages that require the double jump:
Marathon - On the first jump pad you hold up and right, then when you can't see your person you press up a lot while holding the right arrow.
Slip and Slide - Next to the last axe in the first part and the big wall on the second part. Press flow and double jump over the wall.
Maze - In the beginning of the level take the bottom path. Run straight barely touching the block, press up and you should be in a standing position in the air and jump again.
Lunge - Hold flow, then jump against the wall and press up twice. On this level, I recommend holding flow in the beginning of the level. By doing that, it's guaranteed you'll get the double jump.
Secret Staircase - The last jumper on the treadmill flow onto it, hold up and right, you should be in running man position. When you are at the peak of the jump press up twice and you should get over that huge wall.
Tubes - On the block you run against it, jump, then jump again in mid-air and you should be over the wall.
Jumper - First part of the level, don't take the top path. Just run against that block in the beginning and press up, you should be in a standing position and jump again to get over.
Cubicles - Jump onto the bounce pad (gather your flow for this) then hold up and right. You should nick the ledge of the first wall and press flow then double jump in mid-air to get over about two or three cubicles. Then repeat. If you do it right you should finish this level in six seconds or less.
Crossroads - First one is double jump, then jump back, go over the map and flow over. Second one is run jump on top platform flow against the wall and double jump over.
Front Door - Gather some flow, save it then hold flow against the block and double jump over everything.
Over and Under - Gather some flow, jump on the bounce pad with flow, hold right and up. Then when you hit the wall press up a couple times and you should be over it.
If you would like to see what I'm talking about, you can watch the videos made by these players:
Multiplayer: NonTroppO
Multiplayer: serville64
Multiplayer: GhostOfPain
Multiplayer: Faithpath
Optional stages for the double jump:
Cubey - You don't have to do it, but it saves about half a second. All you need to do is once you're on the plat form flow then double jump against the wall before the step then jump to the right.
Death Wall - Flow into the tunnel after the second axe then use the bounce pad while still having flow then you should be in running man position while in the air then you jump and basically skip all the bounce pads.
Funk - On the first part of the level once you hit the bounce pad hold right and up then you should be in running man position then you can double jump in the air and go farther.
Zipper - If you miss flowing all over the blocks you will hit one then you can double jump off the ledge.
Unfriendly Teleporters - You can double jump, but in my experience with the double jump and the flow sliding; they're the same time. The double jump is simply another way of performing the stage.
By optional, I mean it may improve your time by a little, it's just another way of doing the stages.
Stages that don't require the double jump:
All stages:
1. Crossroads.
2. Cubicles.
3. Cubey.
4. Death Wall.
5. Descending.
6. Front Door.
7. Funk.
8. Fuzzballs.
9. Jumper.
10. Lunge.
11. Marathon.
12. Maze.
13. Over and Under.
14. Secret Staircase.
15. Slip and Slide.
16. Treadmillvania.
17. Tubes.
18. Unfriendly Teleporters.
19. Wombat.
20. Zipper.
Exit Path in full screen:
Exit Path - full screen
Playing Exit Path in full screen will help you with uniplayer. You will be able to see the game better with it being on a larger screen. You can also play it like that on multiplayer and see what's ahead on the map.
If you have any questions and/or concerns about the guide, feel free to leave a comment on my profile.

nice, u made a new guide, btw whenever i try playing exit path in fullscreen it all gltchy and some of the screen blue, any idea y?
What do you mean by glitchy? The sides of the screen is blue because Exit Path is not that big.
oh, it just looked kinda messed up, i just find its easier to play ep with normal a sized screen
Nice! I love the guide. I read it a then played Exit path and took of like three minutes!
Nice Job! Though I cant get the hang of double jumping, which is why i am best at wombat and fuzzballs
What a good, concise guide. I'll be sure to follow the uniplayer advice.
epic guide! got past levels quick
Glad it's helping you guys, it took a few hours to update.
Better make a second one for exit path 2 if you're up for it for those who are stuck.
Exit Path 2 has only been out for two days. I need some more time to play the game and talk with other players about the game to actually create a guide for it. A guide for Exit Path 2 will probably be posted in about two months. It'll take some time to actually find out everything about that game and actually find fast routes and such.
Once I downloaded opera I couldnt even get onto the multiplayer. Do you know a reason for this GoM?
Excuse my double post but Multiplayer is now working. Also Opera has eliminated all my lag.
Basements don't usually have good connections to those things, so it's possible that you're connection isn't good in the basement. It's similar to a hospital, with those walls they have, things like cell phones and laptops don't function well.
And again, you're all welcome!
cool you completed it I didn't really any change from the first one though. :\\
thanks allot helped me get through the game and explained allot
Can you post an exit path 2 guide?
I didn't really any change from the first one though.
- Reread the guide several times and corrected mistakes.
- Bolded important things.
- Added more things throughout the guide which made it more detailed and more helpful.

Weaving in Some Loose EndsTuesday, February 24th, 2009
Whew! The blog has been a hopping place recently! Thanks for the continued feedback on the videos – more to come there and I'll continue to work to improve their quality.
Steve and I are headed west this week – to Stitches West to be exact and I've got several loose ends that I haven't had the chance to blog about over the past couple of weeks, so I'm going to toss them all together here in this post. Let's jump right in!
1. Aussie Wildfires – I cannot imagine anyone who has not heard of the devastating wildfires that have rampaged in Australia. We have many, many customers in Australia, one of my favorite podcasts, Sticks and Strings, is based in Australia and hosted by David Reidy and our warehouse manager Nick is originally from down under. It has been a very worrisome time. There are many efforts going on, most of which have been neatly summarized here on Ravelry and also here by the lovely Suzanne. Times are tight all around so if any of the initiatives suit you, I encourage you to help out. If not, just send some good thoughts and vibes Down Under as I am sure they will be appreciated too.
2. Knitting in the news – a report via the BBC came out this past week that indicates that knitting, along with other activities such as quilting and reading can help delay the onset of memory loss. So, just like keeping ourselves moving at any age, exercising our brains can have a positive, long-term affect! Are any of us surprised? No, but it's nice to have the validation.
3. Interweave Press announced a new on-line community for hand-spinners earlier this month. I am not a spinner and I will honestly tell you I haven't spent much time on the site. If you are a hand-spinner or fan of Spin-Off magazine, I encourage you to take the time and check out the new site and community. I'd love for folks to report back in the comments their thoughts!
4. Just a reminder, there are a few days left on the contest we are sponsorign on KnitPurlGurl's site! If you haven't visited her site, please do so! Also, her blog post today is very interesting and I'd love for you all to give some feedback!
5. I never did give much of a TNNA recap, other than the weather reports. Sorry! I'm sure most of you have read accounts of the show on other blogs, so I'll refrain from rehashing. I did want to share this photo with you. Steve & I saw this on our first day and it just made us giggle:
The car wasn't parked in a spot that would make us think this was a vendor – which is even funnier from a yarn point of view 🙂
Then there's the beauty of Malabrigo:
6. For those of you who listen to the podcast, Steve has been lamenting about the size of the snow piles in our parking lot. He wanted to share this with you:
Looks like this:
It has been a tough, tough winter.
7. We have a cool new event that we've added to the schedule. I will blog in more detail about this, but I wanted to get it out to everyone in the area. Barb Parry, owner of Foxfire Fibers and the most pampered flock I've ever known will be at WEBS on Saturday, March 21 from 10:30-5:00 with a trunk show of her yarns and garments. She does several regional sheep & wool festivals (including Rhinebeck) and sells her yarns on her website. For the first time, she'll be at WEBS with many of her yarns available for sale. You can talk to Barb directly about her process, the sheep and more! What makes this event even more special is that she'll be hosting a slide presentation at 11:00am about the Adventures in Yarn Farming – a peek at the secret life of sheep and the lengths to which a shepherd will go – all for the love of yarn! Special prize give-aways. I didn't even realize there would be special give-aways! Awesome! Barb is a dear friend and her yarns are just spectacular. I encourage you to make some time on 3/21 to come in and visit with her! If the date simply doesn't work, Barb will be a vendor at our annual Fleece Market on Saturday, May 16th. You can check her yarns out at www.foxfirefibers.com and keep up with life on the farm with her Sheep Gal Blog. Just wait – we're only weeks away from the Lamb Cam!
8. Two of our dearest customers were in the other day and as they were visiting in the back offices (yeah – I mean it when I say they are dear to us – they get free hall passes) I noticed they were each carrying armloads of a new closeout Poems. They stoppped by our office to chat and I asked what they had going on and the lovely Mary showed me this:
Are you gasping? You all better be gasping at the beauty that is this bud of a project. Just look at what Mary is turning this yarn into!! Just a basic crocheted hexagon recipe, finish each hexagon leaving a long end and join each finished hex as you go. Not necessary if you prefer the finishing all at once. Mary is a pro and opts to join them as each is finished. Poems is a lovely yarn – we have some discontinued colors for $3.99 a skein. I have no idea how much an afghan will take, but I'll keep you posted (and maybe even do a little math for you all as well and give you an estimate). For those of you thinking "Bah, crochet, I don't crochet", well you could if you wanted to but if you still resist, there are many a knit square options or even a Log Cabin with a couple of complimentary colorways. . . now I've got you thinking, don't I?
There. Done. Ends woven in. Blog Post finished. Thoughts, questions, comments? Better yet, what are your loose ends this week?
I've got a Stitches preview coming tomorrow! I'll also be doing my best to update from the show. Plus – just wait until next week – we'll be ruffling our chicken feathers in a big way!

MOBILE, Ala. -- South Alabama associate head football coach Kurt Crain was found dead at his home from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, a coroner said on Tuesday. He was 47.
An autopsy would likely be performed on Wednesday, said Baldwin County Coroner Stan Vinson. Spanish Fort police discovered Crain's body on Tuesday afternoon, according to a university news release.
Crain joined the South Alabama staff in 2008, working with inside linebackers.
"We've lost a great man, coach and mentor at the University of South Alabama," Jaguars coach Joey Jones said in a university release. "In my opinion, Kurt was one of the best overall coaches I've ever seen. He cared about the players, they respected him greatly and he was a tremendous football coach and motivator."
Crain was an Associated Press All-American linebacker at Auburn in 1987 and his 168 tackles from that season still rank second on Auburn's single-season charts. Crain was a two-time All-Southeastern Conference pick after leading the Tigers in tackles in 1986 and 1987.
"Kurt was a fierce competitor who loved the game of football as much as he loved Auburn. He was a tremendous player and an outstanding leader," Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said in a statement.
Crain was drafted by the Houston Oilers and spent two seasons in the NFL with the Oilers and Green Bay Packers.

Auction rate arbitration against UBS may proceed: judge
UBS AG has lost a bid to block a securities arbitration by a Minnesota healthcare organization asserting claims arising out of $125 million in auction-rate securities it issued in 2007.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Michael Davis in Minneapolis on Monday marked the latest decision in a series of disputes over who constitutes a "customer" for securities arbitration before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Davis found Allina Health System was a customer, despite the bank's arguments that auction-rate securities issuers are not customers of underwriters under the rules of FINRA, the financial industry's self-regulator that runs the arbitration forum to settle disputes between broker dealers and customers.
Auction-rate securities are a type of bond in which investors place bids that determine interest rates.
A spokeswoman for UBS did not respond to a request for comment.
Allina, a not-for-profit health-care system, commenced the arbitration in February 2012, in a case arising out of auction-rate securities it issued in October 2007 as part of an issuance of $475 million in bonds to refinance debt and to finance remodeling and renovations.
UBS was the underwriter of the auction-rate securities issued by Allina.
In February 2008, as the financial crisis gained steam, the auction-rate securities market collapsed as auctions failed. Allina contended the market collapsed due to a decision by UBS and other banks to stop submitting support bids to prevent auction failures.
Allina said that as a result, it was forced to incur considerable costs refinancing the securities in June 2008. It also lost bond insurance, resulting in higher payments on the bonds, it said.
In its statement of claim with FINRA, Allina contended that UBS misrepresented the risks of the auction-rate market and accused it of breaching its fiduciary duties and violating federal and state securities laws.
UBS denied the allegations. In August, it filed the federal lawsuit.
In a 19-page decision Monday, Davis pointed to a series of decisions in similar cases denying banks' claims that a plaintiff was not a customer under FINRA rules.
Most recently, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last month allowed Roanoke, Virginia-based Carilion Clinic to move forward with an arbitration against UBS and Citigroup Inc over $234 million in auction rate securities.
"The Court finds these decisions persuasive and consistent with its finding that Allina is UBS's customer," Davis wrote.
The judge also rejected UBS's contention that its agreements with Allina required any disputes to be filed either with the American Arbitration Association or in courts in New York.
"Obviously I'm just as pleased as whenever we win one of these," said James Swanson, a lawyer for Allina who has been involved in most of the other recent court challenges involving auction-rate securities issuers pursuing FINRA claims.
To date, he said, no court in these cases has ruled that auction-rate securities issuers are not FINRA customers.
But on the question of forum-selection clauses, his firm suffered a rare set back last week.
U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan on Friday enjoined an arbitration against Goldman Sachs Group Inc by Golden Empire Schools Financing Authority and Kern High School District in California over $125 million in auction-rate securities.
The judge found their agreements required disputes to be brought in New York federal court. Swanson, who said he expects to appeal, said "it seems like that's probably where the fights are going to shift next."
The case is UBS Securities LLC v. Allina Health System, U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota, 12-02090.

Here's an oldie but a goodie for my devoted readers --I was devastated when the post came out several years ago about the Christmas characters that Dan Lynch posted on his web site, http://www.1930census.com/santa_clause.php. I had worked on most of those names for two weeks and was waiting for the "season" to post them.
So, here are the rest of my "character" findings (originally posted in 2006) -
1) Ebenezer Scroggs (1850, Harrison County OH) is as close to Ebenezer Scrooge as I can get.
2) Robert Crachet (1880, Scott County AR). Another Robert Crachet flew into New York City from Paris on Air France on 2 August 1956 - maybe to perform in a play on Broadway?
3) Three Grinch brothers (Charles, John and Lenwards) came into New York City on 6 September 1875 aboard the "Egypt." There is no word if they came to steal Christmas. Obviously, if they did, they failed.
4) There is a Jasper Magi and Baldermo Magi (1930, Fairfield County CT) but no Melchior; there are Gaspar Wiseman (1930, Queens County NY) and Melvin Wiseman (1930, Muskegon county MI), but no Balthasar or similar.
5) There are 18 Harold Angel persons in the 1930 census. No Hark Angel, however.
6) Sila Knight (1870, Randolph County, AL) is the closest to Silent Night I could find. Lots of Silas Knight people.
7) There are 3 Noel Noel persons in the 1930 census.
8) Angel Angel (1930, Maricopa County AZ) is one of the repeating angels.
9) There are two Merry Christmas girls in the 1930 census (there are lots of Mary Christmas females too).
10) Holly Bush (1930, Roanoke County VA) sticks out.
11) Christ Tree (1930, LaPorte County IN) probably extended his branches
12) Jessie Manger (1930, Polk County IA) parents were not Joseph and Mary
13) Then there are Santa's reindeer: Were they:
Cupid Wiseman
Melvin Dancer
Hugo Blitzen
Chris Donder
Rudolf Dasher
Dasher Berry
Prancer Saner
Vixen Locke
Theodore Comet
Just wondering!!
You know, if Bah Morgan (1900, Stephenson IL) had married Cecil Humbug (1900, Delaware County PA) we would have had more Humbugs than we would know what to do with.
I'm wondering if Alvin Monk (1930, Schoharie County NY), Simon Monk (1930, Lonoke AR) and Theodore Monk (1930, Cotton County OK) really got together in 1958 to sing The Chipmunk Song. Maybe they weren't a figment of Ross Bagdasarian's imagination.
OK, I'm done! I hope you enjoyed this little prance down Santa Claus lane.
What other Christmas related names are there? C'mon, lay them on me.

I can find a few Littletons living in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. (Oh, Littletons of Bethlehem...) At least in the public records, but not necessarily the census.

Trail Runner Gear of the Year 2013
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
The best shoes, apparel, hydration packs, fastpacking equipment and tech accessories of the year
One of the joys of trail running is its simplicity—just get out the door, put on some shoes (arguably optional) and go. Yet, when we push our limits beyond just a short jaunt on the neighborhood trails, our gear choices grow a bit more complicated. When you need to carry your own water or filter, when the weather's nasty, when you run in the dark, when you venture deep into the backcountry … the right equipment can make or break your adventure.
2013 was a great year for trail-running gear. With our sport's recent explosive growth, many companies are devoting new attention to what was once a relatively small niche audience. Innovation has never been greater in the trail-running-shoe world than it is now, with dozens of companies experimenting with different heel-to-toe drops, lug depths, levels of cushioning and overall stack height, lacing systems and more—and many working collaboratively with athletes to design game-changing gear for our increasingly discerning preferences.
And, we look forward to another year of innovation ahead. Companies like Marmot, Dynafit and Sugoi who've traditionally specialized in other outdoor pursuits like backpacking, skiing or cycling, are moving into the our realm with designated trail-running lines. Osprey launches its brand new Rev line of trail-running packs, ranging in capacity from a compact, minimalist hydration pack up to a 24L capacity endurance-running pack.
Meanwhile, companies like Stonewear Designs, Moving Comfort and Run Pretty Far have shown their commitment to promoting women's running by transcending the historic "shrink-it-and-pink-it" approach to women's gear and designing women-specific apparel from the ground up. Big players in the trail- and ultrarunning world have joined this effort as well, such as Ultimate Direction launching their 2014 Jenny Collection of women-specific hydration packs and fuel belts.
We're nothing but excited by all the changes that are happening in the world of trail-running gear. Here, we present 20 of our favorite products from 2013. Click on any of the product names for a more detailed review.
