Ken Russell's ex-wives planning book
The Tommy moviemaker passed away in November, 2011 at the age of 84 after a suffering a number of strokes.
His second wife Vivian Jolly and his third, actress-turned-artist Hetty Baynes, both attended his funeral and they have grown so close since Russell's death they are planning to spend this Christmas (12) together.
The Daily Mail newspaper now reports the pair is also planning to pen a book about the star.
Baynes tells the publication, "We immediately bonded at Ken's funeral. We married a genius and we both loved him, but he was an impossible man to live with.
"I've known (Jolly's) daughter, Mollie, by Ken and now we have become good friends. So she and Mollie will be coming to me for Christmas."
Baynes also reveals she and her son Rex paid tribute to Russell on the first anniversary of his death last week (begs26Nov12) by dining out and watching his 1977 movie Valentino.
She adds, "Rex and I marked the anniversary of his death last week with a meal out at Ken's favourite restaurant and then went back (home) and watched his film Valentino. Rex is a talented young actor whose father would have been proud of him."

Arcadia Elementary School Principal Chuck Bagwell was announced as the 2013 South Carolina Elementary School Principal of the Year Tuesday morning during a surprise celebration at the school.
Arcadia Elementary School was in full celebration mode on Tuesday.
It was a surprise celebration honoring the school's leader, Principal Chuck Bagwell, who was announced as the state's 2013 Elementary School Principal of the Year by the S.C. Association of School Administrators.
Bagwell was greeted in the school auditorium by a bouquet of balloons and a room full of cheering students, teachers and administrators, representing the school, District 6 and the state.
Bagwell was nominated for the title by the school district and selected after a competitive application and interview process.
SCASA Executive Director Molly Spearman said Bagwell's dedication to the school and its students during his 10 years as principal was obvious.
"His passion and just the total commitment to this school came in loud and clear," Spearman said. "He goes far beyond what is required to be a great principal."
District 6 Superintendent Darryl Owings said it was Bagwell's true passion for the school and community that prompted his recommendation for the award. Owings pointed out Bagwell's emphasis on family involvement through weekly parenting classes that also provide opportunities for caregivers to improve their English skills. More than half of Arcadia's student population is Hispanic, and many take ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes.
"When you think of Dr. Bagwell, you think of total immersion into a school and into a community, a true love for the school and the children — not only the academic piece," Owings said. "The total care of the students and their families is evident when you walk into the school."
Bagwell said he was "dumbfounded" to hear the news and credited the support of teachers, other administrators and the community. He also praised Arcadia's students.
"I enjoy just being here and watching them grow," Bagwell said. "This is my mission field."
Students said that Bagwell's new title is well deserved. Many stopped to offer hugs or enthusiastic high-fives after the assembly.
Fifth-grader Geovanny Chavez said that Bagwell "is good to all students and teachers."
Yazmin Chavez, also a fifth-grader, said that her principal is lots of fun.
"He does lots of activities to support the school," said Yazmin, 10. "He encourages us to study, and I always see him with a smile. He deserves this and much more."

MANILA, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The Philippines, has suffered another attack by Communist New People's Army guerrillas in Negros.
Filipino armed forces spokesman Col. Arnulfo Burgos Jr. said the ambush, which killed nine people and injured another 12, violated the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law as it victimized non-combatants.
"Despite our openness to the rebels returning to the democratic fold, the NPA rebels continue to wage armed violence, disrupt the peace-building initiatives of the government and even disrespect the peace process," Burgos said.
"Moreover, they continue to capitalize on soft targets, often resolving to inhumane tactics including the use of improvised explosive devices, conduct of ambuscades, extortion activities, and sabotage of vital economic facilities."
Burgos said Filipino troops would follow the rules of engagement and will respect and promote human rights in all operations as they "pursue armed violence that has caused suffering to our people and loss of innocent lives."
Filipino Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said the attack showed the true intentions of the NPA.
"They introduced the true objective of their organization and they do not distinguish soldiers from civilians," Gazmin said in a report by The Philippine Star.
Police reports said those killed were traveling through Barangay Puso, La Castellana, Negros Occidental, when they were attacked about 3:45 a.m. Sunday. The assailants reportedly shouted, "Mabuhay ang NPA (Long live the NPA.)"
In the aftermath of the attack, the military and the police activated Task Force La Castellana to pursue those behind the assault.
Filipino Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas, addressing the 22nd anniversary celebration of the Philippine National Police at Camp Crame, promised the attackers, "We will come after you.
"I say this to all the lawless elements out there: You hit one of us, you hit all of us. We will all come after you."
He said the victims were leaving a village fiesta when they were "mercilessly, brutally, ruthlessly attacked" and that eight of the nine people killed in the ambush were considered "non-combatants."
Underlining the brutality of the attack, Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Maranon Jr. stated that the gunmen could be people "high on drugs" and that some of the dead appeared to have been killed with shots to the head.
The Maoist NPA is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines and was formed in March 1969. It has been conducting a campaign on principle of "protracted people's war," extorting "revolutionary taxes" from business owners in areas it controls.
The CCP refers to the NPA as "the tax enforcement agency of the people's revolutionary government."
The U.S. State Department has designated the NPA Foreign Terrorist Organization, alongside the European Union via its Common Foreign and Security Policy.
Pursuing a conciliatory strategy however, the Filipino government in 2011 has de-listed the NPA as a terrorist organization and undertaken resumed preliminary peace talks with NPA prior to formal negotiations with the CPP.

With a wave of her bandaged left hand, and boosted by well wishes from Dr. Phil, Chris Evert and even a young woman she once babysat, Hannah Storm returned to a most comfortable setting - talking in front of a TV camera.
The ESPN anchor hosted the Rose Parade telecast Tuesday in her first on-air appearance since sustaining first- and second-degree burns to her face, hands, chest and neck in a propane gas grill accident Dec. 11.
"I was just so happy to be there, so grateful," she said by phone from Pasadena, Calif. "It took a lot out of me, but it went great."
Storm lost roughly half her hair in the accident outside her home in Connecticut. She wore extensions for the two-hour show on ABC. Storm's eyebrows and eyelashes also were burned off. When a makeup artist brushed on her first eyebrow, "I wanted to kiss her, it looked so good," she said.
This was the fifth time Storm served as TV host for the Rose Parade. She said working alongside her former "SportsCenter" co-anchor, "Good Morning America" host Josh Elliott, eased her way.
She said it was to her benefit that she could ad-lib through the show. She's left-handed, and the burns and an infection make it hard to turn pages on a script or take notes.
"I could be myself today, just talking and reacting to what I saw," she said. "It was a very familiar place."
She was warmed, too, by having her three daughters with her in California - 15-year-old Hannah, 14-year-old Ellery and 11-year-old Riley. There are, incidentally, four generations of Hannahs in the family, with Storm's mother and grandmother also sharing that first name.
"It was good that the girls got to see mommy doing what she usually does. Being on TV, being on the set, that brings a sense of normalcy," she said.
Storm cautioned that her return to the air just three weeks after being injured was far from normal. The fiery explosion left flame marks on her neck, and doctors have told her to keep the most seriously burned areas out of direct sunlight for six months. Dressing and showering are still difficult, too.
"This hair wasn't real, these eyebrows weren't real," she said. "It's important to remember burns take a long time to heal."
During the telecast, she thanked everyone from the Trauma and Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center who treated her. Her husband, NBC sportscaster Dan Hicks, rearranged his schedule to stay home during her recovery.
Storm has received bunches of calls, texts, emails, tweets and other supportive messages. Tennis star Mardy Fish, ESPN colleagues Dick Vitale and John Kruk, and the Rev. John Jenkins, president of her alma mater Notre Dame, were among those reaching out to the popular broadcaster and producer.
Storm will wait to see when she rejoins "SportsCenter" in Bristol, Conn. She hoped to anchor Sunday, but wants to see how she feels this week.
In the meantime, Storm plans to turn her ordeal into an opportunity to talk about how to safely operate propane gas grills.
Storm was injured when she tried to re-ignite the grill after the flame had gone out. She shut off the gas and when she turned it back on "there was an explosion and this wall of fire came at me in an instant."
Storm said two people she worked with Tuesday said they'd been burned in similar accidents.
"A lot of people are afraid of grills," she said. "I think this will be a good chance to talk about safety."

As part of my research, I love browsing the Green Bay Press-Gazette's incredible photo archives, and more information about early Packers uniforms becomes available every day. They recently uploaded three new galleries featuring Packers/Bears games from 1941, 1942, and 1951.
We get a couple great shots of the classic Lambeau-era uniform in action. Gold helmets, gold pants, navy jerseys with gold numbers and yoke defined the Packers for so long:
The Press-Gazette also gives us a glimpse into the oft-overlooked days between Lambeau and Lombardi, such as this shot of head coach Gene Ronzani with quarterback Bobby Thomason from 1951:
The gold helmet with green stripe/gold jersey with green numbers/green pants uniform was introduced by Ronzani as an alternate in 1950, his first season at the helm. I've never seen a color photo, but I'm still looking. During his tenure the Packers seem to have worn green/gold and blue/gold in rotation.
As much as I hate to say anything nice about the Bears, I have to give them credit for consistency. They've managed to maintain the same basic uniform design from the leather helmet era through the body armor look of today's NFL.
Recently, a new resource has gone online. Google announced a deal to host millions of photograpghs from Life magazine. Not only does this mean that some of the 20th Century's most famous photographs may be found there, but it also includes photos from the same sessions never before published. Not surprisingly, the site has a wealth of material for those of us interested in sports aesthetics.
These shots from 1962 are a particular favorite of mine - check out Vince's team jacket!
Mitchell & Ness used to make a reproduction of that jacket in beautiful blue and gold, but it was dated 1954-1957. Was it possible that Lombardi was wearing those jackets as late as 1962, or did M&N goof on the dates, the color, or both? Time to dig mine out of the closet anyway, I'll post some pictures soon. I've long been interested in the sideline wear, especially old capes and dusters - that might be worth an entry of its own.
Back to the gallery, I'm really excited about seeing some of the earlier photos - Life did a great feature on the Packers in their December 18, 1939 issue. None of that content appears to be online, but when it is....

Someone recently asked me why some people yell out the name of the kata before performing it. I have come up with a multiple choice test. Is the reason:
- To scare away potential attackers
- To make sure that they know what kata they are about to do
- To scare away wild animals
- To invoke the spirit of the kata maker
- To comply with international copyright laws
- To show that they know the name of the kata
- So that judges will know what kata they are going to see
- Because if the kata is done at night, it is good to let potential attackers know where they are (wait, that must be wrong)
- Because everyone else does it, so it must be right
- All of the above
- Some of the above

Best Kids Parties: Superheroes
Name: Eliot, 4
Location: Charlotte, NC
Little boys and superheroes...is there anything more classic? E loves superheroes, especially The Avengers, and since there are so many things you can do with this theme we decided to go for it.
His birthday is in the summer and it's hot in the south so we told the guests to bring a costume and a swim suit. Since the party would be outside, we held it earlier in the day and set up a pool and slip-n-slide at the end of the "superhero training course." Of course, the slip-n-slide had slime at the end. Other activities were "Hero Poses" in the photo booth and a piñata.
For food we had hot dogs, fruit skewers, watermelon, green jello, "Hulk Juice" (green Gatorade), and "Power Pills" (jelly beans). For the grown-ups we served brats, veggies with hummus and chips.
The cake really is the centerpiece of the decorations. E knew exactly what he wanted and my sister, being the amazing aunt she is, said "let's do it." We obviously didn't need a three layer cake so the top two layers are cereal treats (Rice Crispies & Fruity Pebbles). My sister made the cake and had a little help from my brother in the decorating. With help from my party-planner mom, we set up a photo booth using painted empty boxes for a city with a canvas backdrop (so fun) and the birthday bunting was made from cut out comic books from the $1 bin at a local comic store. We also made capes, masks and belts for the favors with a little goody bags and medals for completing the obstacle course.
Thanks, Lauren Calnin!

Razer Lycosa Mirror Keyboard Review
Input devices like keyboards and mice are vital to every computer owner since they obviously allow us to interact with many complicated electronic chips. However, they are, just like the power supply, the parts that are often skimped on. Why spend a hundred bucks on a keyboard when there is one on sale for a third of the price and comes with a free mouse? Sure, for the average user, those will do the job, but the enthusiasts and gamers that lurk around here often cannot and should not settle for such a thing. Something that's going to be used for hours on end has to be comfortable, fast and, of course, flashy. While there is an astonishing amount of gaming mice, the same cannot be said about keyboards. There are actually very few options when looking at high end keyboards; Logitech has the G15, Razer carries a few and that's pretty much it. For all the Microsoft fans out there, it also makes one, but let's get back to the point.
Razer manufactures a bunch of high end gaming products, such as keyboards, mice, mouse pads and headsets. That's what the company is renowned for among gamers and today I am introducing something Razer is usually pretty good at getting right - a keyboard. Although this isn't an entirely new product, it is still a very interesting piece of equipment. The Razer Lycosa was brought to market about a year ago and now we have the Mirror Special Edition keeping our hands full with more features than ever. Enough talk, let's see if this one has what it takes to outshine its competition.
Closer Look:
The Lycosa Mirror comes in the usual eye catching Razer theme - mainly black with green and silver writings. The main side showcases what looks like a sleep keyboard along with its main features on the lower right corner. The back side goes into more detail on each and every feature, both in English and in French, which I will cover later on.
Before moving further, let's just make another quick stop to the top side of the box. The reflective Lycosa logo as well as the font make for some attractive looking design. Notice the "o" is actually a spider? That is because, in case you never noticed, Razer keyboards all carry arachnid names. While I am still on that box, it feels solid and does a good job at keeping the Lycosa safe.
Flipping the box open does not reveal a shiny keyboard; instead, we discover another cardboard layer in order to keep the suspense going. Although not only that, it also secures the sleeve with a bunch of manuals in it so everything isn't all over the place in there. You also get a message from the RazerGuy himself bragging about how awesome this keyboard is, which you'll soon figure out if he is right or not. Moving that final layer out of the way finally leaves us with a keyboard.
The keyboard itself is located in a cloth-like bag in order to protect the glossy surface. Many things hide inside the sleeve, including a thirty-six page thick master manual, a quick start guide, a four square inch piece of cloth to keep the keyboard tidy, a couple of Razer stickers and finally, a product catalog.
Let's move along and take a closer look at this promising keyboard.

Part One: Minor Blunders
by Robin Melanson
If there is one thing a knitter can be certain of, it's that mistakes will happen. No one is immune to the occasional dropped stich, wrong-slanting cable, or other error and you will never stop making mistakes like these as long as you knit. Why? Because knitters don't just sit there and stitch (not most of the time, anyhow). We knit while driving a forklift, while training our monkey butlers, or while operating the Tilt-a-Whirl at the circus. Or, you know, while watching television (but let's pretend we can do that without messing up the knitting). In other words, our attention is usually divided when we are knitting, we are not always looking at the instructions, and we pick up our WIP and put it down again a million times.
The biggest difference between the errors of an experienced knitter and those of a newbie is the ease with which they are fixed. This is not because a less experienced knitter's mistakes are worse; it's because experience lends the confidence to manipulate your work without ripping it out.
This series will look at some of the most common errors knitters make and take you through ways to fix them without ripping back the work to the point before the mistake was made. It will also put an end to the practice of putting your work in the "naughty pile" and never to be finished, because you're not sure what to do about a mistake, or it just seems like an insurmountable bother to even try.
Mistakes fall into three categories: Minor Blunders, Average Gaffes, and Grave Errors. We'll start with Minor Blunders as not to frighten you off by skipping straight to the Grave Errors. It's much too perilous.
Tools You will Need
- Crochet hook
- Cable needle
- Tapestry needle
- Locking stitch markers
- Two double-pointed needles (dpns)
- Patience (a bit less is required for fixing mistakes than for ripping out and starting over)
The first thing to do when you think you have made a mistake is to spend a moment examining what you have done. Look at your knitting. Read the pattern. Read the pattern again. Look at your knitting again. If it is two o'clock in the morning, go to bed. Do nothing now. Never make decisions in the middle of the night.* There is a good reason for this: if you decide that what you have done cannot be fixed and you rip out twelve inches of knitting, and then you wake up the next day and realize the work was indeed correct, trust me, you will be upset and the piece may languish unfinished until it is eaten by moths.
*Please feel free to apply this advice to non-knitting decisions as well.
After a good night's sleep and a generous serving of coffee, look at the piece again and try to figure out where you went wrong. If it was within the last few rows, congratulations, you have made a Minor Blunder.
Avoidance and Early Detection
The easiest way to fix mistakes is to not make them in the first place, and the second-easiest way is to find them shortly after you made them.
Step back (figuratively) and look at how your work is progressing every few rows, or whenever you are about to begin shaping, or when you have finished some shaping. Examine whether the increase rows are mirrored (if the piece is to be symmetrical), whether the stitch count is correct, whether the fabric looks the way you are expecting. Measure your gauge—make sure it matches your swatch (you didn't make a swatch? Be gone infidel!) Hopefully, checking your work will catch most mistakes in the early stages.
Minor Blunders
I don't know whose gauge this is but it's not mine!
Pixies have obviously switched your needles to the wrong size, and now the knitting gauge is nowhere near the swatch gauge. If the piece must come out to a predetermined measurement in order to be useful or lovely, then you have no choice but to rip. This is only a minor blunder if you have discovered it early. It gets much worse the further you go, and the further you go only increases your denial of harsh reality. That is why this is the first thing I am encouraging you to check, early and often. Now you don't have a whole sweater knit three sizes too big—it's only two inches long! Crisis averted.
The stitch count is wrong!
If the stitch count has been changing (you were decreasing or increasing), check the number of increases or decreases on each side.
You missed an increase.
If you were increasing and you have missed a make-one increase on one side a few rows back (see Figure 1), you can use a crochet hook to pick up the horizontal thread from which you would have made the increase. Twist the strand so as to avoid a hole (see Figure 2). Be sure to twist it in the correct direction if you have been using make one left and make one right for directional increasing (look at your previous increases to see which side of the strand should lie on top). Use the crochet hook to latch the new stitch back up to the current row (see Figure 3).
This method works best if you find the mistake and correct it within two to four rows. Since you need to use the existing yarn to add a stitch, the stitches on either side are going to be tighter than usual because you are "stealing" yarn from them to add to your new stitch. If it is more than just a few rows ago, the piece may be quite noticeably tight. If you are not satisfied with the tightness, you can either rip out a few rows and rework them, or you can make the missed increase as soon as you notice (and live with the fact that the increase frequency is different on one side).
You made an extra increase.
Similarly, you can take out an accidental extra increase (see Figure 4). Instead of borrowing yarn from the adjacent stitches, you will be redistributing extra yarn among the adjacent stitches from a stitch that you undo. Drop the increased stitch off the needle and ravel it to the make-one (see Figure 5). You now have a loose ladder between two columns of stitches. Using a tapestry needle, gently pull the excess yarn into the two adjacent stitches, and along the row if necessary, so that the extra yarn is not as noticeable (see Figure 6). I find that it is easier to do this from the purl side of the work. If the piece is to be seamed, you can pull most of the excess yarn to the selvedge stitch (seam allowance stitch). When the piece is blocked and sewn up, you will not see that the selvedge is looser. Again, this works best if done two to four rows after you made the error, because of the extra looseness on these stitches. If the selvedge is loose for more than a few rows it will be noticeable, but just a few rows is easily masked.
You missed a decrease.
If you should have made a decrease at one side of the work a few rows ago, and you didn't, this is also an easy fix (see Figure 7). You will need to drop down the two affected stitches to the row where they should have been worked together. It is easiest to work this over stitches near the edge, not over stitches at the edge. This is a good reason why it is better to work your decreases a stitch or two in from the edge of the piece. The selvedge stitch is more difficult to latch back up because of the transition from right side to wrong side at that stitch.
The best way to fix this is to run a cable needle into the two stitches on the row at which they should have been decreased (see Figure 8). Now drop them from the working needle and ravel them to the cable needle. Making sure that the correct stitch is on top for the directional decrease that you wish to mimic (ssk or k2tog), work the stitches together from the cable needle (see Figure 9), and use the crochet hook to latch the new single stitch back up to the current row. Distribute the extra yarn with a tapestry needle (see Figure 6).
You made a decrease you shouldn't have.
If you decreased near the side of the piece a few rows ago, and you realize that you shouldn't have, you can remove it fairly easily. Place a cable needle through the two decreased stitches (see Figure 10) on the row before they were worked together. Drop the single decreased stitch back down to the point where it becomes two stitches. Put one of the stitches on a locking stitch marker, to be held for later. Using the crochet hook, latch up the other stitch to the current row (see Figure 11). Return to the stitch placed on the locking marker and latch it up to the current row as well (see Figure 12), pulling the adjacent stitches more tightly as you borrow yarn from them to make the extra stitch. The work will be tighter in this area, due to the fact that you made two stitches out of yarn that had been used for one stitch.
Sometimes the stitch count is off due to a minor knitting error, and not because you missed any pattern maneuvers.
You accidentally worked into the first stitch of the row twice.
If you are new to knitting or you have been working while looking at something else, check that you have not made an accidental increase at the beginning of a row. The first and/or last stitch of a row can be looser than the others, and sometimes twists around so that the two legs of the stitch below it are closer to the needle. If you are not used to reading your knitting or if you have been knitting by touch, you may have worked into the legs of the stitch below the first stitch as it twisted around the needle (see figure 13). If it is on an edge that will be sewn into a seam later, you can just decrease it again as soon as you notice. Place a waste yarn marker where you had the extra stitch, and when you are sewing up the garment, take the extra stitch in the seam allowance at this point. If it bothers you to leave it there, you can drop the second stitch off the needle and unravel it to the point where the unintentional increase was made. Redistribute the extra yarn into the adjacent stitches (see Figure 6). The selvedge stitch will likely be looser here. If neither of those options pleases you, you could rip out the work to the point when the error was made.
You dropped a stitch.
The stitch count is off, you are looking for your error—oh there it is! Way down there…. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Place the dropped stitch on a locking stitch marker as soon as you see it (see Figure 14), so that it cannot ravel down any further. Put it on the crochet hook, and latch it back up to the current row, using the strands of yarn between the stitches still on the needle. If the stitch ran down, the strands will be loose enough to maintain the same tension when you latch it back up, but if you dropped it some time ago and continued knitting only over the stitches still on the needle, you will have to borrow some yarn from adjacent stitches, making this section a little bit tighter (See Figure 3).
If you have not made any of the previous errors, but your stitch count is still wrong, look at your patterning. Is the piece worked in a pattern with yarn overs and decreases? Perhaps you missed one or the other. Mistakes in lace are usually easy to catch within a couple of rows because as you work subsequent rows the patterning doesn't line up. (For more lace tips click here.) As long as you take the time to look at your work, you will notice that there is something wrong. Compare the last row to the chart or the stitch pattern; go through all the stitches and match them to the pattern. At this point you will probably find that you have made or missed a yarn over or a pattern decrease where you shouldn't have.
You made an extra or missed a pattern decrease.
This type of mistake can be fixed as for the shaping decreases described above. Be sure that the adjacent stitches are not affected by. your taking out (or putting in) the mistaken decrease
For example, say that you have worked a single decrease and then knit the next stitch, where you were supposed to work a double decrease. You now have one too many stitches (see Figure 15). If you catch this type of mistake early it is very easy to fix. The more rows that have been worked since the mistake occurred, the more difficult it may be to fix, depending on the stitch pattern. If it is a stitch pattern where the decreases shift so that decreases coming from a different direction cross over the current decreases, a greater number of stitches have to be undone for each successive row since the error occurred. If it is a pattern where everything happens in static columns, you could pull out more rows over these few stitches without affecting the surrounding bits, and therefore fix mistakes that are further down.
Getting back to our example, you should insert a dpn into the three affected stitches on the row before the erroneous decrease was made (see Figure 16). Now drop the two stitches (the knit and the decreased stitch) back down to that point. Using your other dpn and the unpicked strand as the working yarn (be sure to use the strand from the next row up—if you have unpicked multiple rows you will have multiple strands), work these stitches as they should have been worked originally (see Figure 17). You can turn the piece and work the wrong side of these stitches as well, using the next unpicked strand. It is easy to redistribute the extra yarn from the additional stitch when you are working in a yarn-over pattern—the hole at the yarn over can absorb the extra yarn and once it has been blocked, it is doubtful that you would notice at all.
The success of this method depends on your ability to read your knitting. As long as you understand how the stitches stack on top of one another it is a fairly easy maneuver. This understanding comes with experience, so if you aren't at that point yet, just keep knitting and practicing different patterns and it will click in your mind.
You made an extra yarn over or missed making a yarn over.
These are the easiest lace mistakes to fix. If you have caught it within the last few rows it is not likely that it will have caused any compounding error. If you made an extra yarn over, drop the extra stitch above it (see Figure 18). Let it run down; it will stop running when it reaches the original yarn over. Now, redistribute the excess yarn into the adjacent stitches (see Figure 6). If it was more than two rows ago, you might need to fix an adjacent stitch if the extra one caused you to mess up your pattern. If it was more than four rows ago, and you weren't paying attention to how the pattern stacks, you may have skewed the pattern across an entire row. If this is the case, you will probably need to rip the work back to the row on which you made the error.
If you missed a yarn over, use the tip of your left needle to pick up the horizontal strand between the two stitches where the yarn over should have been made, on the correct row (see Figure 19). Place it on the crochet hook (do not twist it), and latch it up to the current row. Remember that depending on the pattern and how many rows previously you should have worked this yarn over, you may need to make additional maneuvers to work it into pattern. If it was only two rows ago, it is not a problem, all you will need to have done is to make the yarn over and then purl into it on the following row, so you will only be latching it up one row. This stitch will be a bit tight as you are borrowing yarn from the adjacent stitches to form the new stitch. The yarn over will be a little smaller than the others in the pattern.
If you need practice reading your stitches and learning how pattern repeats stack, work the following chart (see Figure 20). Notice how the pattern ceases over the center stitches. Now insert a dpn through the seven marked stitches of Row 24, just below the first stockinette row (see Figure 21). Let the stitches above the dpn (between the markers) drop down (see Figure 22). Now, reknit the section you have raveled according to the highlighted stitch repeat, using each successive strand of raveled yarn and the dpns, turning the work so that you can work on the wrong side when appropriate (see Figure 23)
I messed up my textured stitch pattern!
Looking down, you realize that something is not quite right with your fabric. It's a bit askew. You knit when you should have purled. Did you make a single misstep? For example, you were working a bird's-eye pattern and one of the purls is in the wrong position? Did you make several wrong purls, separated by a fabric that is mostly right?
Reworking a textured stitch.
Look at the swatch below (see Figure 24). See how a few of the purled stitches (indicated by the arrow) are not lining up with the others? Place locking stitch marker in the stitch in the row below the erroneous purl (see Figure 25). Let the stitch unravel to the locking marker. Using two crochet hooks (hold one at the wrong side and one at the right side), latch the stitch back up from the right side if that stitch is to be knit (see Figure 26), and latch it from the wrong side if that stitch is to be purled (see Figure 27). You can transfer the stitch between the two hooks. You can use only one crochet hook, but you will have to drop the stitch for a moment while you move the hook to and from the right and wrong sides of the work.
Did you mix up a pattern mid-repeat so that half the row is skewed? For instance, you were working in a two by two rib, and once, you knitted one instead of two, and now you have what looks like half a row of moss stitch in the middle of your ribbing? Did you continue on in that fashion, working one part correctly and one part according to a mad split-level knitting scheme (see Figure 28)? Unfortunately, these errors must be pulled out, as it would be more time consuming to drop down and rework each stitch across the row than it would be to simply pull it out and do it again.
Hopefully, if you didn't have the confidence to tackle fixing your mistakes before, you will now. Join us for the Fall issue where we will tackle Average Gaffes and Grave Errors.

SOMERSWORTH — Moby Parsons, MD, director of the Joint Replacement Center at Seacoast Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and medical director of the Joint Replacement Center at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, was recently recognized by Medtronic Advanced Energy as one of two, 2012 Advanced Energy Surgeons of the Year.
Parsons was nominated for recognition following his care of a patient in need of a total shoulder replacement. The patient also presented with a genetic abnormality that increases systemic clotting. This condition requires constant pharmacological control with blood thinning medications, even during surgery: commonly a major contraindication for most procedures.
Parsons' intraoperative use of the Aquamantys Bipolar Sealer device allowed him to control blood loss during the shoulder replacement, and reduce possible complications during and after surgery. Minimizing blood loss during surgery may avoid the use of blood transfusions, the associated inherent risks and avoid post-operative complications such as major bruising, swelling and poor recovery.
Patient blood management is an important factor in Parsons' practice, as his focus is ultimately on the highest level of quality care and better clinical outcomes for his patients.
SOSMed's main office is located in Somersworth with a satellite office in Lee. For more information, call (603) 742-2007 or visit www.SOSMed.org.
The physicians of SOSMed serve as the official orthopedists and team physicians for the UNH Wildcats.

Revision as of 00:49, January 31, 2008
The Holy Great-Martyr St Phanourios, the miracle worker, is commemorated by the Church on August 27 and is not simply honoured by the faithful on this date but on many occassions through a symbolic cake, called the "Phanouropita" which can be brought to the church, at any time, for a blessing.
Not much is known about St Phanourios's life because all evidence of his life has been destroyed with time. The only evidence that supports a historical date, relating to this saint, is documented in the book "Lives of the Saints", which testifies that his icon was discovered, in Rhodes, around 1500 AD. Some sources support the opinion that the icon was discovered in Cyprus and not in Rhodes.
In the church we have the tradition of saints for special purposes. St Phanourios assists the faithful by revealing a lost or hidden object or matter, directing and/or revealing actions that should be taken, restoring health and similar situations.
Discovery of the icon
The church has understood the life of this Saint through the discovery of his icon in Rhodes (or Cyprus). Around this icon are 12 stations showing his martyric death.
An excerpt from the fanourios.org:
- A fortuitous discovery by nomadic pagans, not Christians, brought to light this unheralded saint when a roving band of Arabs, who had pillaged the island of Rhodes uncovered amid the ruins of an ancient church a group of icons, among other artifacts. All of the icons were in a state of decay or near ruin with the exception of one, which appeared as new and as fresh as though it had been painted the day before. This icon was discarded by the Arabs, ;who failed to attach any importance to it. At a safe distance a group of monks hiding in the rubble observed this phenomenon and waited patiently until the Arabs had left the scene, whereupon they rushed to reclaim this fantastic image in its remarkable state of preservation.
- They beheld a clearly outlined face of a saint with the name inscribed in what appeared to be fresh lettering that spelled out "Fanourios" and on closer examination fell on their knees at what they saw. Drawn about the saint were twelve distinct frames in each of which Fanourios was shown enduring a cruel form of torture in a realism that suggested the artist must have been witness to the atrocity. They rushed back to see if any of the other icons were in as perfect a state, but although they were all of the same basic design, size, and shape, all of them were quite ancient and quite indistinct. After careful scrutiny it was finally concluded that this icon of fanou4rios had, indeed , been one of a group that had been exhumed after untold centuries and that its freshness was a divine manifestation of the complete saintliness of this man about whom they were now determined to learn more.
- But years of research, scanning the archives of centuries and questioning the leading authorities of the day, yielded nothing, and no more was known about Fanourios than the day on which his icon was snatched from the ruins of that ancient Greek church. The torture scenes of the icon provided no clues, and examination of which showed Fanourios being stoned, on the rack, being slashed, behind bars, standing before a judge, tied to a frame, being =burned with candles, tied to a post, thrown to wild animals, crushed by a boulder, holding hot coals, and a demon hovering against a background of flames. All of these horrors conveyed that Fanourios was an apparently indestructible instrument of God and that in itself was sufficient evidenced of his sainthood.
- Archbishop Milos of Rhodes concluded that the unblemished icon itself was testimony enough to prove that Fanourios was a man of divine grace, and he petitioned the Patriarch to convene a synod which would officially proclaim Fanourios a saint, after which there was erected in the saint's memory a cathedral which enshrined the holy icon/ Fanourios, lost for centuries in the ruins of a church, became the patron saint of things lost. To this day his name is invoked when prayers are asked for the recovery of things lost items."
Martyrdom of the Saint
The portrayle of each illustration is as follows:
- 1. The saint is standing in front of a Roman magistrate and defending his Christian faith;
- 2. Soldiers beat the saint on the head and mouth with rocks to force him to deny his faith.
- 3. The saint remains patient which angers the soldiers. They are shown in this illustration, throwing him to the ground and beating him with sticks and clubs in a further attempt to force him to deny his faith.
- 4. The saint is now in prison. He is illustrated completely naked with the soldiers ripping his flesh apart with some sort of iron implement.
- 5. The saint is still in prison. In this station, he is shown praying to God, perhaps to give him strength to endure his tortures.
- 6. Next, the saint is standing in front of the Roman magistrate again defending his position. The expression on the face of the saint is calm.
- 7. In this image, it is obvious that the Roman magistrate has sentenced the saint to the executioners for remaining unmoved in Station 6. The saint is again shown naked with executioners torching (burning) his body.
- 8. At this station, the executioners are now using mechanical means to torture the saint. He appears tied to an apparatus that rotate to crush his bones. Though he would be truly suffering intensely for God, the look on his face is peaceful and patient.
- 9.
- 10.
- 11.
- 12. This last scene is the glorification of the saint and end to his martyrdom. He is standing upright, over flames in a large kiln.
Iconographic variations
the Phanouropita cake
The custom of the Phanouropita cake is a Greek and Cypriot tradition, preserved in many regions of Greece and Cyprus and spread to the Greek people of the diaspora (Australia, USA, England etc). Though it is not a Holy Tradition, it has been welcomed and adopted formerly into the church as a blessing service, that take no more than 5 minutes to complete.
It is offered at vesper services and/or just before the liturgy finishes on the feast day of the saint on August 27. Many villages in Greece believe that they do this tradition to grant rest for the soul of the saints mother. The church does not formerly hold this position since there is no evidence on the saint's life to confirm if his mother indeed was a fornicator, as this 'heresay' suggests. Despite the church having made this statement on many occassions, the commong people within the church will still express the phrase, "May God grant rest to the soul of Saint Phanourios' mother.".
The pita is small and round, like a cake, and should be made using either 9 ingredients or 11. The basic ingredients include sifted flour, sugar, cinnamon and oil.

* So this week's subway sign is "Truths born from lies" which has something to do with hula hoops (the circle of fate?). Then in the next scene, Masako tells Himari that truth can never be born from lies. I take the subway signs as more reliable than Masako.
* Is the kid who tells Himari about the Child Broiler one of Sanetoshi's rabbits?

That being said, I do believe it was wrong of him to put his innocent sister in immediate danger by refusing to reveal his terrorist (<- VERY IMPORTANT) parents' location. His parents have been on the run for years, they can clearly take care of themselves, and if they're as good parents as he seems to believe they are, they wouldn't have minded suffering the consequences for their actions to save their daughter. It is the parents' duty to protect their children, not the opposite.

I don't like to consider this too one dimensional-ly; rather than seeing it as Kanba choosing parents over Himari, I feel that he just doesn't want to give up either his parents or Himari. I don't think you can belittle his sacrifice just because he didn't sell his parents out; he obviously value all his family members both above his own.
While I personally cheer for a Kanba x Himari end, I also fell in love with these siblings because of their deep family love. This episode reinforces that theme. The previous episode would've felt incredibly a lot less endearing if Kanba just sold out his parents on the spot. On the surface that might seem romantic, but Kanba would just be another siscon to me. A person who's blind to passion can be seen anywhere, I would like to think Kanba is above that. Love isn't always measured by a person to ignore all reasoning and betray others. That's a theme too highly overrated and idealized (obviously personal subjectivity here).
I guess I'm just a very family-centric person. I rarely even post in here, but I felt the past two episodes are especially strong just because how heartwarming (and heart-wrenching) they felt at the end. There really aren't that many series these days that show such strong bonding within the family (personally I'm quite jealous of them).

I also like how much this changes the story, because it raises more questions and thoughts:
Why was Himari rescued? We know why Momoka did it for Tabuki and Yuri, but we have no reason for Sho doing it. Also, the methods are different. The apple is very suspicious, because it is tied to Sanetoshi. However Sanetoshi seems more interested in manipulating everyone but Sho. That strikes me as odd. Also, Sho and Himari lost those memories. Why didn't Tabuki and Yuri?
The parents being well and out of jail isn't surprising. How did Tabuki know this though? The pictures didn't show them in the previous episode, just the men in coats (who also makes an appearance in this episode). It's obvious that Kanba and the rest are being manipulated by Sanetoshi, but why? What was the real reason for the attack in the first place, and was Sanetoshi not expecting Momoka to interfere? Perhaps that is his goal: her restoration so she can be his special existence again and the full version of his original plan (the attacks) completed?
This ties into Natsume. How is she related to this? It's already a stretch that Mario is "possessed" by his grandfather, but why is Natsume being recruited by Sanetoshi? The family doesn't appear to have any connection outside of Sanetoshi showing up with the hat to "save" Mario.
Then there's also the matter of the hat(s). If the one Himari has is the Princess, why was she picked by it? Further, what is the other hat that Mario is using? It doesn't seem to do anything like Himari's hat does. Sanetoshi is aware of Himari's hat and seems to believe it is Momoka in some form, but yet he also is aware of the diary and doesn't appear to be fond of it.
Finally this makes me ponder the Survival Strategy sequences. The Princess seems to have some feelings for Kanba but it is difficult to know what they are. Shouma always seems to get kicked out right away. Yet here we find out that Himari and Shouma are fated. This crisscross is hard to understand.
Yuri isn't out of the picture yet, but I feel sorry for her. She seemed to desire more than a sham marriage, hoping for love to flourish despite the backwards steps (marriage before love), even though the initial reasons seemed misguided (Momoka). Tabuki is out of the picture (for now), which really makes him seem more shallow than I thought he would be. It seems he never cared about anything except for revenge, gave that up, and apparently everything else too.
This show never ceases to fascinate me.

Kanba was willing to harm himself to save Himari but not reveal his parents location.
However there is a chance he really did not know where they were. It could be one of those situations where they meet up with Kanba when they can but don't disclose where they are hiding. Nevermind I think the subbed version disproves this.
Edit: I think I have an idea what is going on. Momoka changed the world right, Sanetoshi & Kiga are trying to get it back to how they think it should be. We can assume that the terrorist attack was also about "fixing" the world with all the changes Momoka made. But then Momoka changed it again and she disappeared and Kiga is again trying to "fix it".
Well what if in the pre-changed world the fated couples are Shouma/Himari, Kanba/Masako, Momoka/Tabuki (and as an extension Ringo/Tabuki)
However Momoka might be trying to change this knocking Shouma out of the survival strategy because she doesn't want him to connect with Himari. The Penguin Queen is also the one that in a sense had Shouma go after Ringo stopping Ringo/Tabuki, and you can say in a way she pushes Kanba/Himari. I would say Tabuki/Yuri are also part of this group.
There is also a possibility that there is 3rd date where Himari is part of Triple H as we see in the ending, but it's unclear what would bring this about.
Also a long time ago someone pointed out that Sanetoshi had a pic of the Takakura dad as part of an expedition where he couldn't have committed the terrorist attack. Well what if this was real and in a different fate he didn't commit the terrorist attacks.
I mean there are so many possibilities here, but if my theory is right I am not convinced that either Sanetoshi or Momoka are right here.

What if Himari wasn't adopted, but Kanba? I know he resembles Kenzan, but that may be red-herring.
Anyhow, gotta love this love polygon, or whatever. This now truly feels like an Ikuni work.
Now all we need is for Sanetoshi to start fucking everybody, and we're set.

I'm aware it's bit off-topic, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
/my life.
Actually, it may not be that off-topic as I believe this a point Ikuhara might be trying to make too. We have been shown several cases where "family obligations" only led to suffering: Tabuki, Yuri, Ringo to some extent. On the other hand, we have Kanba, Shouma and Himari, who despite not being blood related all love each other deeply.

Ok I'm really lost now after this episode. But one thing I wonder about if Shouma and Kanba are not real brothers maybe Kanba is the soul/spirit of Natsume's brother that she keeps trying to get back. Here in this episode she said it if you keep pretending to be his sister he won't come back to me!
Now who is Himari actually? Why did Shouma use his magic to save her from the boiler? And it appears the world went off track a long time ago probably from the use of changing Fate and most likely why the child boiler existed in the first place. It is appearing that Sanetoshi and their parents are attempting to set the world straight but the existence of the diary keeps messing things up. So as this world sees them as terrorist but in reality they are trying to derail this fate and get the Fate train back where it should be on the correct track that it was derailed from in the first place with all this magic that the kids were messing with.
It really reminds me of Q from Star Trek all powerful entity that has the power to tamper with reality and just like a child does not care what the affects are. It appears both Shouma and Momoka had this power and as children created their own reality until the world went askew.

Huh, so if Shouma is sorta-kinda another version of Momoka (I'm just speculating here), who the heck is the penguinhat then? We've seen with Mario that he and Himari ARE actually possessed by dead people so I suppose Shouma probably isn't a reincarnation of Momoka. Although, it would be kinda sweet if Shou put up with Ringo so much since she was his former sister, no wait, that sounds kinda incesty (if the winning pairings in this show DON'T involve incest in any way I will be impressed. )
Also, wait, so some people didn't like this episode because it suggested a pairing most people don't like? A) that's silly and B) this whole show before has been about fighting against fate, so do you guys really think that a "fated" pairing is actually going to happen?

In any case, the fact that he was able to enter and rescue people from the Broiler is highly suspicious. No normal person should be able to do that, so he's special somehow... like, magical

Our December issue features work by the designers Mary and Matt.
In addition to their other work, they produce a line of chocolate called Chocolate Editions which is available through their website and at a few select NYC boutiques. For Abe's Peanut, they wrote and illustrated a guide to making chocolate, the culmination of which will be a bar of their chocolate sent to your child.
We chose a simple milk chocolate bar and all ingredients will be listed on the bar's wrapper. We will address the package to "The Parents of (Child's Name)".
We understand, due to dietary restrictions and personal preferences, not all children eat chocolate. Please email us if YOU WOULD LIKE to receive the chocolate bar. An email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Chocolate Yes" is enough for us. We will need your responses by December 7th.

The entry into force on 14 September 2016 of the amendments and supplements to the Italian Digital Administration Code (DAC) - pursuant to Legislative Decree n. 179 of 26 August 2016 - introduces an "historical" turning-point in the digitalization of the enterprises active in Italy, setting out, also in our country, a principle of "technological neutrality" with respect to the electronic format of a document and, hence, simplifying the execution and the evidentiary value of agreements entered into at a distance.
The historical legacy of the "written form"
The Italian Civil Code and the rules applicable to the insurance and banking sector have traditionally considered the "written form" as a certification of guarantee and higher protection. However, such approach has generated serious problems in distance relationships.
In fact, before the recent changes, the DAC used to treat only qualified electronic signatures, advanced electronic signatures or digital signatures equal to hand-written signatures, with the consequence that a contract to be executed remotely (like, contracts for opening bank accounts or making investments) had to be signed through a system of qualified electronic signature provided by an accredited certification service provider.
As an alternative to the aforesaid solution, the client had to manually sign the agreement and send it via the postal service to the operator with an evident lengthening of the time needed for its execution.
What's new?
Art. 21, first paragraph, of the new version of DAC, provides that "any electronic document on which an electronic signature has been affixed meets the written-form requirement and, as far as its evidentiary value is concerned, can be freely assessed in courts given its objective characteristics of quality, safety, integrity and immutability".
The new provision specifies that, differently from the past, using a generic electronic signature - ie, any type of electronic signature and not only advanced or qualified electronic signatures or digital signatures - meets the written-form requirement, making it easier and simplifying the activity of the operators engaged in e-commerce as well as in the insurance sector.
Will the acceptance of unfair clauses (art. 1341 of the Italian Civil Code) be easier?
The change made to the DAC modifies also the scenario related to the acceptance online of the clauses set forth in art. 1341[1] of the Italian Civil Code, according to which if the parties have not negotiated the general conditions - as it happens in all cases in which a contract is executed with consumers - the unfair clauses (the so-called clausole vessatorie) are ineffective and, as such, cannot be enforced by the party who prepared the general conditions (i.e., the enterprise) against the other party (typically, the consumers, but also any enterprise which has not negotiated the agreement), unless the other party has specifically approved said clauses in writing.
The above provision hindered not only the regulated sectors mentioned above, but also the e-commerce sector as a whole, because the operators had to bear the risk of seeing the unconscionable clauses be held ineffective.
The new DAC has apparently removed the doubts endorsed by a specific trend in case law which was reluctant to accept the possibility for the aforesaid clauses to be signed electronically (including, through a point & click action). From now onwards in fact, such acceptance shall fully meet the written-form requirement and shall therefore be binding upon the same contracting party.
What are the consequences for the insurance and banking industry?
As to the insurance sector, in which the agreements must be in writing ad probationem, the express provision - according to which an e-document electronically signed meets the written-form requirement - has a positive effects for the insurance companies as they will be spurred to close their agreements directly in a digital format. Such new provision entails in fact the inversion of the burden of proof in legal proceedings. Since the written-form requirement is satisfied ex lege by simply applying an electronic signature, it shall now be up to the party which intends to challenge the "quality, security, integrity and immutability" of the e-document to give evidences.
As to the banking sector, the changes introduced to the DAC accelerate and simplify the process of digitization, enabling the banks to use e-documents - signed by way of a simple click - for all of the forms to be filled-in before the agreement is closed (such as, without limitation, anti-money laundering and privacy form), or when the same agreement is executed.
No amendments have instead been made to the rules governing bank agreements: for such agreements, in relation to which the written form ad substantiam is required, it has been confirmed that the relevant signatures must be "under penalty for the same to be deemed null and void, advanced electronic signatures, qualified electronic signatures, or digital signatures".

text: News of Indian retailers putting off expansion plans, pruning their headcount, revising strategy, or delaying plans of a tie-up with a foreign partner has become almost a daily item. Just a year ago this sunrise sector was bustling with activity; everything indicated an oncoming boom! With so many players, competition was intense and predictions of consolidation or a fall out, if at all, were five to eight years away. But, thanks to the global economic crisis, we may already be there.

The process is going to take a while, though. A Research In Motion VP explained how it's going to work over breakfast at the BlackBerry Developer Conference. Apparently, the idea is to first launch BlackBerry OS 7, which will be sort-of a transitional release to prepare developers for the launch of the eventual QNX-based operating system.
This gives developers the time to get used to the new development environment and new operating system, which gets to mature on its own on the PlayBook and possible additional tablet devices. Some BlackBerry OS application will run on it, but it's unclear just how easily (or how many).
Good decision by RIM. Why write something from scratch when you can just buy fellow Canadian company QSS, and use their excellent and more-than-proven QNX operating system. Now let's hope that the suits at RIM are smart enough to allow us to have a (warranty-voiding) Minecraft-mode on the phone, so us geeks can meddle with QNX' internals.

Computational Mechanics and Multi-Disciplinary Applications to High Performance Supercomputing Environments

This project is concerned with the development of unified computational methodologies, solution algorithms, and finite element modeling/analysis strategies for rigid-flexible multi-body dynamics, contact-impact-penetration, electromagnetics, multi-disciplinary flow-thermal-structural problems, and micro/nano-scale effects in heat conduction. The philosophy and rationale of this work is based on employing a common numerical methodology for each of the individual disciplines in conjunction with common computational algorithms for applicability to supercomputing systems in solving large-scale engineering problems. Various research activities include development of new time integration computational algorithms for transient/dynamic/contact/ impact/damage/penetration problems; development of effective finite element based methodologies, which can be used in multi-disciplinary problems; new physically correct contact models for penetration and impact problems; application of finite element methods in the manufacturing simulations to provide a paradigm for Virtual Manufacturing and the simulation of Virtual Experiment and Virtual Testing. The application areas include a wide range of engineering problems involving multi-physics and space/time domain decomposition with interface to graph partitioning techniques. The overall efforts focus attention on providing new and effective approaches for not only improving the existing capabilities for applicability to supercomputing environments, but also towards providing an accurate understanding of the physics and mechanics relevant to multi-disciplinary engineering problems.
