London: A superb second-half display from Chelsea saw the Blues run out 4-0 winners against Stoke and inflict a first home Premier League defeat of the season on the Potters.
The first half lacked quality but a Jonathan Walters own goal right before the break gave the visitors the lead, and in the second half the Blues ran riot. The unlucky Walters added a second own goal before a Frank Lampard penalty and a Eden Hazard rocket sealed the points.
Stoke made one change to the side that started their last Premier League game against Manchester City as Matthew Etherington started on the left in place of Cameron Jerome. The visitors made four changes to the side that were beaten by Swansea in the Capital One Cup semi-final with Demba Ba, Petr Cech, Frank Lampard and Ryan Bertrand starting in place of Fernando Torres, Ross Turnbull, Gary Cahill and Oscar.
The opening half was short on skill and entertainment with both sides limited to half chances until right before the break.
Stoke had the game's first chance as Kenwyne Jones found himself with room inside the Chelsea penalty area but he dragged his shot wide of Cech's goal. And the visitors responded 10 minutes later with a nice passing move that led to Ba finding Lampard inside the penalty area but Begovic saved well with his feet from the midfielder`s low shot.
With the half seemingly drifting to an end without a goal Chelsea opened the scoring with what was the final attack, Hazard released Cesar Azpilicueta on the right-hand side, the Spaniard delivered a dangerous cross to the back post where Walters headed past his own goalkeeper in his attempt to clear the cross before Juan Mata could pounce.
Stoke began the second half full of life and after a Steven N'Zonzi shot tested Cech they thought they had a penalty just before the hour. Azpilicueta appeared to bring down Etherington inside the penalty area, Andre Marriner awarded the penalty only for assistant referee Sian Massey to overrule the decision as the winger had drifted into an offside position.
Four minutes later the Stoke players were cursing that decision as Walters again headed past his own goalkeeper. Lampard challenged the winger from a right-wing corner and the ball hit the Stoke man before dropping into the back of the net.
Stoke's misery was added to just two minutes later as Robert Huth was adjudged to have brought down Mata inside the penalty area. The decision looked harsh but that made no difference to Lampard who smashed the ball past Begovic from 12 yards to become Chelsea's second highest goal scorer with 194 goals.
Chelsea hammered the final nail in the Stoke coffin in the 73rd minute as Hazard fired an unstoppable shot into the top corner. The Belgian received the ball inside the Stoke half from Mata, drifted away from Glenn Whelan and lashed an absolute rocket past Begovic.
Stoke were awarded a penalty in the closing seconds as substitute John Terry brought Walters down in the penalty area, but the forward lashed his spot kick against the crossbar to complete a dreadful day for the Potters.

text: The Frenchman lead a two-man breakaway comfortably outsprinting American Christian Vande Velde at the post [EPA]Pierrick Fedrigo left a rotten season behind him on Monday when he won the 15th stage of the Tour de France in Pau, the site of his last major victory two years ago. The Frenchman outwitted his breakaway companions to ride the last six kilometres with American Christian Vande Velde, whom he easily outsprinted in the final stretch. Fellow Frenchman Thomas Voeckler, winner of the 10th stage, finished third in the short 158.5-km ride from Samatan, in which the peloton anticipated Tuesday's rest day by taking it leisurely in the finale after a nervous start. Briton Bradley Wiggins retained his overall leader's yellow jersey ahead of compatriot Chris Froome and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali.Relief For Fedrigo, the victory came as a huge relief after he missed most of the 2011 season with Lyme disease. "The last time I won was here. I suffered much more last year by not riding the Tour than by riding it this year," said the 33-year-old Frenchman, winner of three stages in 2006, 2009 and 2010. "The first was important because it was the first. The second was special because it was in Tarbes, my hometown. The third, two years ago, was super special because it was the biggest Pyrenees stage, with all the mythical climbs," he added. It was Fedrigo's FDJ team's second victory on this Tour after Thibaut Pinot's in the eighth stage in Porrentruy. The decisive break of the day took shape after 62 km and involved six experienced riders, four of whom - Fedrigo, Voeckler, their compatriot Samuel Dumoulin and Dane Nikki Sorensen - had won Tour stages in the past. The peloton had chased all the previous attempts with Wiggins's team Sky working for world champion Mark Cavendish and Belgian outfit Lotto Belisol for Germany's Andre Greipel, who celebrated his 30th birthday and was hoping for a fourth stage win on this Tour. But when the six went, the bunch reached a sector of road that had a little bit of oil spilled on the tarmac and decided not to take any risks following the chaos on the previous stage caused by tacks thrown on the course.No risks "It was a hard stage all the same because it's very hot and hilly in this region. It's not a decision we made in the bus, it's a decision we made on the road," said Wiggins. Once the six had received the go-ahead, their lead increased steadily and was still 11:50 on the finish line. Fedrigo timed his move to perfection with five kilometres to go and was far too fast for Vande Velde in the finale. Greipel had to be content with winning the bunch sprint for seventh place. The stage was hard enough for four riders to be forced out, including French time trial champion Sylvain Chavanel, who gave up sick. Tuesday's rest day will be a chance for the 156 riders left in the bunch to check out the Pyrenees climbs on the menu for Wednesday and Thursday. SOURCE: Reuters Sport Cycling France Germany Italy

A wild hat for skiers and snowboarders!
A little "bad boy" (or girl) but fun for all. Two sizes, fleece lining optional.
It was fun looking up snowboarding terms while writing this pattern. I found that if I was a boarder, I would be a raisin (definition: old dude shredding. AACK!) I thought about naming it Skeletons in the Closet or Surf and Turf Bones but when I came across Gnarlybone I loved the definition: a dude from the Marylebone section of London who loves to shred the mountain. It made for a fun play on words for a cool hat with secrets. Most of my designs have secrets, but I dont always disclose them! These secrets are useful: Optional: A word to the wearer in the Baby Dreds - it can be a name or a little message, and on the flap, a nod to a Late Night TV robot (Craig Fergusons skeleton sidekick, Geoff, with a mohawk.) Covered with bones from the land and bones from the sea, Its a floppy, slightly tall hat, and fleece lined for warmth. Long earflaps are optional but useful in snow and can be tied up over the top of the hat Sherlock Holmes style to keep them out of the way if needed.

House prices leapt by 10.9 per cent year-on-year in April marking the first time in four years that annual growth in values has reached double figures, Nationwide has reported.
Property prices across the UK lifted by 1.2 per cent on the previous month to reach £183,577 on average, increasing the risk that people will have to stretch their mortgage borrowing, the building society said.
The last time that the annual house price growth reached the 10 per cent mark was in April 2010.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide's chief economist, said housing market demand from potential buyers is "likely to remain robust" amid growing consumer confidence in the economy generally and mortgage rates remaining close to all-time lows.
Mr Gardner said: "Earnings growth is beginning to pick up, with wage increases finally outpacing the rise in the cost of living in February.
"Nevertheless, house price growth is outstripping income growth by a wide margin. The risk is that unless supply accelerates significantly, affordability will become stretched."
Mr Gardner said the upturn in new house building is continuing to lag behind the growth in demand from potential buyers, with the number of new homes being built in England still standing at around 40 per cent below its pre-crisis levels.
The imbalance between the growth in the supply of homes on the market and rising buyer demand is helping to put an upward pressure on prices.
Some critics of the Government's flagship Help to Buy scheme to give people with small deposits get a helping hand on the property ladder have argued that this has added to the pressure on house prices by fuelling buyer demand further.
In London in particular, strong interest from wealthy overseas investors has been helping to push up demand.
Mr Gardner said: "Interestingly, price growth in London and the South East appears to be being driven by the top end of the market, with higher priced locations recording stronger price growth.
"This pattern accords with housing transactions data, which shows that higher priced properties in London and the South East have accounted for a higher proportion of transactions."
Mr Gardner said that in London, the proportion of higher-end house sales involving properties worth more than £500,000 has surged from around one in seven (13 per cent) in 2007 to one quarter (25 per cent) last year.
The share of house sales worth one million pounds-plus has more than doubled over the period, from 3 per cent to over 6 per cent.
Toughened mortgage lending rules came into force last weekend which mean that lenders have to ask people looking to buy a home or re-mortgage more detailed questions about their personal spending habits to work out whether they can afford a home loan.
They also have to apply "stress tests" to make sure a borrower could still afford their repayments as and when interest rates rise under the Mortgage Market review (MMR) rules.
Some experts have said the new rules could slow the housing market recovery down while the industry adjusts to the changes.
Mr Gardner said: "MMR changes, which place a greater emphasis on affordability, should help to ensure that prices do not become detached from earnings."

The three "proven" methods of treating cancer-chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery-may actually shorten your life in many instances. Each of these treatments is invasive, has devastating side effects, and treats only symptoms. Each can cause the spread or recurrence of cancer. While these immunity-damaging approaches may at times be necessary, their successes have mostly been limited to relatively rare forms of cancer or the early stages of the disease. For most adult cancers, the orthodox therapies are virtually noncurative, though they may buy some time. For many patients, the standard therapies shorten the life span: "Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy," observes Dr. Alan Levin of the University of California Medical School. "Chemotherapy does not eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancers. The fact has been documented for over a decade.... Women with breast cancer are likely to die faster with chemotherapy than without it."1
Only 2 to 3 percent of the nearly one-half million Americans diagnosed of cancer every year are being saved by chemotherapy, according to Dr. John Cairns of the Harvard University School of Public Health.2 Yet over half of all cancer patients routinely receive chemotherapy drugs, which can cripple a person's chance of survival. All chemotherapy drugs are toxic and many are carcinogenic-they can cause cancer. The overuse of chemotherapy-a $750 million-a year racket in drug sales alone-is a national scandal.
Disillusioned with standard cancer treatments-which often have devastating side effects and typically cost $30,000 or more-thousands of patients are turning to alternative or nontoxic therapies. Often called complementary, unorthodox, or nonconventional, these therapies include nutritional, herbal, metabolic, immune-enhancing, biologic, nontoxic pharmacologic, and psychological-behavioral approaches. While the alternative therapies exhibit great variation, all of them are rooted in the idea that a truly healthy body will not develop cancer. Alternative practitioners believe the cause of cancer is often found in a disorder of the immune system or a bodily imbalance that allows the tumor to develop.
Alternative therapies share certain common features. They are relatively nontoxic, unlike chemotherapy and radiation, which destroy normal cells. They aim to cleanse the body, to stimulate its natural defenses and tumor-destroying capacity. They have relatively high safety levels compared to the orthodox treatments. Many or most alternative therapies combine special diets; supplementation with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes; detoxification; oxygenation measures; immune stimulation; and psychological or spiritual regimens to promote gentle healing.
To mainstream doctors, cancer is a localized disease, to be treated in a localized manner. By cutting out the tumor, irradiating it, or flooding the body with toxic (and often carcinogenic) drugs, the orthodox physician hopes to destroy the tumor and thus save the patient. But all too often, the cancer is still present and has metastasized (spread elsewhere). The allopathic, conventional approach, for all its high-tech trappings, is based on a primitive medical philosophy: aggressively attacking an "enemy" disease. Often, the patient is devastated in the process, while the cancer and its underlying causes remain.

Love Theway Youare and Include Me out, the first two finishers in Saturday's Grade I Vanity Handicap, each came out of the race in fine shape, according to their trainers.
Myung Kwon Cho, who couldn't be on hand for Love Theway Youare's $38 upset because he was attending the high school graduation of his son, Raxon, received news of the victory via email from his assistant, Maria Ayala. "She's good this morning," said Cho, "but I'd like to wait another day to see how she's doing before making any decisions on where she'll run next."\\
Jeff Bonde remarked Sunday that Amarish, who is 2-for-2 after an easy win in the Willard L. Proctor Memorial, is doing well. "He looks real good," said the trainer. "We're pretty happy this morning. So far he's shown us no signs of weakeningr. He seems to be able to separate himself from his company pretty easily." Bonde added that Amarish will return in the (Grade III, $150,000) Hollywood Juvenile Championship (July 14th) if everything goes as planned.
As pleased as he was with the 2-year-old gelding's performance, Bonde was equally disappointed with Unusual Way's seventh place effort in the Cinderella Stakes four races later. "When she broke her maiden, she beat the horse (Miss Empire) that won the race,'' he said. "She's kind of a hot-tempered filly. She hurt a couple of grooms when we first got her. She was perfect in the paddock, but when they went to load her, she spun around a couple of times and they shanked her, which they have to do. She tried to duck away from horses out of the gate. I might have to add blinkers."
Miss Empire, who broke her maiden in winning the Cinderella, returned in good shape, according to trainer Peter Miller, The half-sister to multiple stakes winner Bordonaro will be pointed to the ($150,000) Landaluce Stakes (July 14th). Asked about his three-week old son, Jacob, who spent the day at the races with his father, Miller replied, "Jacob was pretty knocked out. He slept well last night."
Trainer Walther Solis was happy with second-place finisher Awesome Annie's race and declared her in perfect shape Sunday morning.
With a double on Saturday, Rafael Bejarano padded his lead in the Spring/Summer standings. The native of Peru is now 16 winners ahead of his nearest rival, Joe Talamo, 45-29. Bejarano has won at least one race on 13 consecutive racing days, dating to May 26th.
There was little change in the trainer standings last week with Bob Baffert remaining entrenched at the top. The Hall of Famer leads John Sadler 21-14. Eight of Baffert's victories have come in stakes.
While the jockey and trainer standings have runaway leaders, the race for the winningest horse of the meet is a real scramble. Through Saturday, 17 are tied for the lead with two victories. Three horses have tried and failed to turn the hat trick. The latest was Folk Dancer, who finished second in Saturday's second race.
Two runners will try to win for a third time Sunday and each is favored to do so. Valkyrie Missile is the 6-5 morning line choice in the first while Peacenik is 5-2 in the fifth race.
Hall of Fame rider Mike Smith and Chantal Sutherland will be the featured guests Tuesday, June 20th in "Night School," a free online chat open to all racing fans.
A joint venture of the racing industry, Night School is a national online fan education program, which can be accessed by going to http://www.betfairhollywoodpark.com. Beginning at 5:30 p.m. PDT, the public will be able to ask questions directly to the two riders.
Night School continues every Tuesday – through Nov. 13 – and features a different topic each week.
The inaugural "Jockey for a Cause" charity event will take place Wednesday, July 18th at the DeHaven Estate in Rancho Santa Fe. The benefit begins at 6:00 , following the final race of Del Mar's opening day.
The fundraiser will provide support for two charities; the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund (PDJF) and the Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation. The PDJF, established in 2006, provides long-term assistance to jockeys who have suffered on-track catastrophic injuries. The Jockey Club Safety Net helps not only jockeys, but trainers, grooms, exercise riders, hot walkers and front office personnel.
The event will be hosted by California horse owner Jeff Dehaven, who promises that jockeys, trainers, celebrities and professional athletes from all sports will be in attendance to help the cause.
Tickets are available at http://www.pdjf.org. Further event and sponsorship information may be found at http://www.pdjf.org or http://www.tjcfoundation.org.
CLOSING STRIDES—Simon Callaghan, who was planning to send out Grade I Gamely Stakes winner Belle Royale in the Grade III, $100,000 Beverly Hills Handicap June 24, will instead wait and run the Irish bred filly in the Grade II, $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile July 7. Callaghan indicated he just wanted to give the 4-year-old daughter of Val Royal a couple of extra weeks. The trainer will instead start Imperialistic Diva, who will be ridden by Rafael Bejarano. Others confirmed for the Beverly Hills are Cambina (Garrett Gomez), dead heat winner of the Grade I American Oaks at this distance last July 16, Capital Plan (Joel Rosario), a close third to Belle Royale in the Gamely, and Antares World (Kevin Krigger), who finished in a dead heat for second in the Grade III Wilshire Handicap April 29…….Saturday's hunch play of the afternoon came through when Bejarano guided U S Citizen ($4.20) to a debut victory for trainer Marty Jones in the sixth race. The rider was sworn in as a United States citizen April 27th. The significance of the name was not lost on Bejarano, according to Jones. "He came back pumped up,'' Jones said. "The first thing he said when he came back was, 'Yeah! U.S. Citizen.'"………A week after his triumphant return in the Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial, Acclamation was "doing real good," declared trainer Don Warren. Warren said that no problems have re-occurred and last year's champion older male will be looking at the (Grade I, $300,000) Eddie Read (Stakes July 21 at Del Mar) for his next start……Congratulations to Giovanni Oldano of Weston, Florida, who outlasted 1,737 other players to win the $3,000 Show Me the Money –Presented by Golden Nugget Las Vegas - contest. Both Oldano and runner-up Mark Niemerow of Thousand Oaks selected I Sense Your Luck, who finished fourth in Friday's third race. Oldano won by virtue of the first tiebreaker (most victories).

A library to provide unit-oriented tags to LibDogTag-3.0
Doteventril, there is currently an issue with DogTags. I use PitBull as well and as soon as I turned off the DogTag texts and turned the LUA ones back on all of my errors disappeared.
I'm not sure if the library will be updated, although I surely hope so. I had so many things customized using these texts that being forced to not use them is very seriously impacting how much I enjoy a lot of other addons.
Looks like I spoke too soon. If you download Lib-DogTag-Unit-3.0 (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/libdogtag-unit-3-0) and Lib-DogTag-3.0 (http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/libdogtag-3-0) that things might just work out. Some of my errors disappeared (although there are still around 100 or so that get thrown by these addons)Last edited by Mythrilia: Aug 29, 2012

Hi ckknight, looks like there was a change when dual specs rolled out that's affecting the TalentSpec tag. I finally tracked it down after wondering why so many people were coming up 0/0/0 in my cowtip. GetTalentTabInfo() now has a 4th arg to specify which talent group you want to read from, and you can determine which is active by calling GetActiveTalentGroup(). Take a look at the updated blizzard frame code:
Please take a look at the following patch and see if you can roll it into LibDogTag-Unit-3.0/Categories/Talent.lua. It seems to be working for me, people that used to come up with 0/0/0 now come up with their correct talents, and I verified them with the blizzard inspect frame (right click -> Inspect). Thanks so much!
I can't seem to post a code fragment here, here's an offsite link:
Real simple. Hope there are no concurrency issues.
I noticed someone had filed a feature request under cowtip maybe to expire talent entries after a while. With easy respecing now this would be nice to expire them after a few minutes or something.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will hold eight open houses and City Council briefings in May on the proposed Gold Line extension that will go from East Los Angeles to either Whittier or South El Monte.
An environmental impact report on the two competing routes is expected to be released this summer.
Both possible routes would run from the current end of the Gold Line at Atlantic and Pomona boulevards and go along the 60 Freeway, but one route would go south on Garfield Avenue and east on Washington Boulevard, ending up at the Whittier campus of PIH Health Hospital near Lambert Road and Washington Boulevard. The other follows the 60 Freeway east to Peck Road, ending in South El Monte.
The open houses will be held 30 minutes before the city council meetings. Here's a list of the times and meetings:
• Tuesday, 6 p.m.: Commerce City Hall, 2535 Commerce Way, Commerce.
• Thursday, 5:30 p.m. Santa Fe Springs City Hall, 11710 E Telegraph Road, Santa Fe Springs.

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Wu Yi-chen (吳宜臻), along with several Hakka activists, yesterday urged the Miaoli County Government to halt a project to build a tourist information center outside the planned high-speed rail station in Houlong Township (後龍), saying that its chosen architectural style has no cultural connection to Hakkas living in Miaoli.
In order to leave an impression of Hakka culture on travelers arriving at the station, the county government plans to build a tourist information center in front of the station in the tulou style (土樓) — a traditional fortress-like communal residence found in mountainous regions in the southern parts of China's Fujian Province.
While tulou architecture is not uniquely Hakka, the architectural style is considered Hakka by many, since most remaining tulou are found in Hakka villages.
However, for Hakkas in Taiwan, the architectural style is as foreign as it is to many non-Hakkas.
"Chinese tulou have no cultural or historical connection to Taiwanese Hakkas, [a tulou in Miaoli] is like something that fell from the sky — it doesn't belong to Taiwan or Miaoli," Ceng Nian-you [曾年有], a Miaoli-based Hakka culture and history researcher, told a press conference at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei yesterday. "We have our own culture in Miaoli, why is the county government not using local cultural elements for the tourist information center?"
He said that for local Hakkas, the traditional residential building is a huofang (夥房) — literally "communal house" in Hakka — which has a square layout, with a courtyard in the middle for agricultural activities such as sun-drying rice or vegetables, or for banquets, and a hall for religious use.
"I don't understand why the county government had to tear down century-old kilns that once stood on the site of the high-speed rail development, and replace them with something that has no local connection," Ceng added.
Chern Ban (陳板), a visiting professor at National Taiwan University of Arts and a Hakka from Miaoli, said that there are no tulou buildings in Taiwan due to its unique society and culture, and there is no need to build one now.
"Tulou in Fujian were built for security reasons, and when Hakkas moved to Taiwan, they didn't feel the need to build any, because, on one hand, they didn't feel threatened, and on the other hand, the humid climate and frequent earthquakes do not suit earth buildings," Chern said.
Ayu Huang (黃連煜), a Hakka musician from Miaoli, said that while all Hakkas may share something in common, each Hakka community has unique elements.
"Hakkas in Fujian build tulou, but most of the Hakkas in Miaoli trace their ancestry to China's Guangdong Province, so tulou are not only unfamiliar to us, but also would have been to our ancestors," he said. "As a musician, I would be concerned if the Miaoli County Government imported traditional Hakka music from China and called it local music."
Wu added that if Miaoli County Commissioner Liu Cheng-hung (劉政鴻), who has come under severe criticism over his handling of controversial demolitions in Dapu Borough (大埔) last week, cares enough about Hakka culture, he should read research by the Hakka Affairs Council. This found that there are no tulou in Taiwan, and confirmed that the most representative Hakka architecture in Taiwan is the huofang.

Fiber Laundromat
My fiber laundromat is in full swing.I washed two batches of fantastic alpaca fleeces - all three from Allie and Phil at Eyedazzleralpacas.com
from three different alpacas.
Nikko is a lovely butterscotch sort of color. Actually, his fleece ranges from ash blond to deep butterscotch. I just love it - lots of color variation - it'll be fun to play with this fleece.
Valley Girl is a wonderful cinnamon color. (This photo is NOT the correct color! She's more reddish.)Oh My Gosh, her fleece is super super fine. It's such a treat!
Calamity Jane is Black-Hole Black. Wait 'till you see it washed. Here it is, straight off of Calamity's back, and it's rather dusty. Once I wash the dust off, then you'll see how viciously BLACK this is. I can't wait to spin some.
I like to sew the locks into a length of netting, so that everything stays in locks and stays nice and neat. It's a handy way to handle a batch of fiber like this. This sack contains about 3/4 of a pound - I could have gotten more in to the sack, but you know, alpaca is so dusty that I wanted the bits to be on the thin side for adequate water flow.
I personally vacuumed each and every alpaca on that ranch - I personally emptied the vacuum cleaner, numerous times throughout the day - so I know that our vacuuming job was actually removing dust and debris - - just how much dirt does an alpaca carry around every day? Look at this water! This is from an animal which had been cleaned!!! An added bonus to alpaca - hardly any smell, really. Nothing like sheep, nothing.
I fill the basin with warm water and a generous squirt of hair-shampoo. I let it soak a while, then lift the fiber out, and I just pour the water out into the yard - the grass loves it. I keep refilling the basin with warm water and letting the fiber soak until the water runs clear. In the last basin-full of warm water, I put in a generous squirt of hair-conditioner and let the fiber soak in it for a little bit, then I let it drain out. I don't rinse this conditioner out - it really helps control the static electricity that my desert climate can cause.
My high tech water heater - I let one basin-full soak until another hose-worth of water heated up. It worked really well. Let me tell you - on a sunny day in Colorado - this hose heats up pretty fast and amazingly HOT. - my high tech dryer -
Why do these spoiled brat animals assume that I'm washing fiber for their comfort and enjoyment?
Pure potential.
Dreaming of becoming a neck warmer? A scarf? A lace shawl? What do you want to be when you grow up? This black is blacker than black.
I spun a little bit of each one - fine and thick - here's Nikko's swatch. Oh yes, this is going to be fun. I have lots of ideas... which one to start first?
I also washed a bit of Coopworth, which I purchased from Sandy in California. This Coopworth fleece is truly beautiful. It's from a young sheep named Sierra Silver. I hope to spin and knit the sweater named Moonlight by Kim Hargreaves - the pattern appeared in Rowan 34. So, my sweater already has a name - Sierra Silver Moonlight. Ahhh... I can hardly wait!
I laid out the locks -
Pinned them into place --and then washed with my standard washing procedure - warm to hot water, shampoo, rinses, conditioner in the final soak. Hang to dry.
Washed and dried and take a look at how lovely. This sheep is many shades of grey from the lightest pearl to a very dark charcoal. If I'm a smart spinner, I'll be able to graduate the sweater from light grey at the shoulder to dark grey at the waist - won't that be nice?
I spun up a bit and got gauge (as noted on the pattern) on my first try, waahoo! Here is a test swatch - this wool fairly sparkles - it almost looks metallic - - there are some locks which are just about the exact same shade as pewter. If you make the photo large, you can see that there are some really dark fibers in there - this gives it a richness and depth to the color - I just love it.
I'm thinking of cutting off the yellowed tips to make the overall color more of a cool grey - the tips warm the color, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. Must experiment. (I've never cut tips off of locks before, and truth be told, I'm sort of chicken.)
A note on the pin job - - this was a minor fiasco. I don't think that it will matter in the long haul, but this is the last time I'll use pins. Take a look - rust - eek. Even the so-called "brass" pins - - yeah, right, brass, heh heh heh. It's such tiny spots of rust that I didn't have a full blown panic attack, only a minor case of the jitters. I need to find some rust-proof pins because this is just too quick and easy. I'll probably always sew alpaca into it's little sacks, but wool can get pinned.
Now, I washed enough fiber to get started spinning. I made a bunch of spindles, and improved my junky-garage-wheel. (I also bought a mountain of dyed rovings for other projects.) There's nothing stopping me - Let The Spinning Begin!
I can hardly wait!

What a fantastic post--beautiful photography. They fiber and yarns are inspiring! I did get a chuckle out of your alpaca vacuuming :) They don't mind?
- Sandy said...
Hey Rosemary, great posting.
How about using knitting stitch holders in place of the safety pins?
The alpaca looks lovely and soft. Makes me want to get some out to wash.
Sierra looks really good.
- Jody said...
That is a seriously beautiful, long stapled sheep fleece. The alpaca is lovely too. I cut fibre all the time and it's not a problem.
- Rosemary said...
fleegle - yes, the alpacas do mind, but not too much. I work with another woman, and we have a system - we whip through each animal pretty fast. This year, shearing day went by *zip* because everyone was working really quickly. So, even the alpacas weren't too happy about the day, it all went by to fast for them to hold a grudge.
Sandy - this fleece is stunning. I can't thank you enough! Brilliant idea about the stitch holders, by the way! Pinning goes so much faster than sewing, that's for sure.
Jody - yes, I bought some real winners this year! Thanks for the advice about cutting - I think I'll try it.
- lizzzknits said...
You certainly have been busy! I always learn so much from your postings with the detailed techniques and photos...Thanks.
- Range Roving Spinner said...
Rosemary, I love this blog post. Thanks for all the details on how you wash the fleece - and then you even show it spun up and knitted up - we get the whole picture. It's really informative. All the natural colors of alpaca look wonderful together. And last of all, your wool fleece is gorgeous and spins up beautifully. That sweater is going to be stunning. I hope you keep us updated as you go.
- Rosemary said...
Thanks! This is mighty nice of you! Yes, I'll certainly keep you posted on all of the projects. Yes, those colors of alpaca go together sooooo nicely. I want to spin them so that the colors blend from one to the other. I think that it will work out nicely.
- ~ ~ Ahrisha ~ ~ said...
Roaemary~ ~This is truely brilliant. Stitching the fiber into netting to wash. Maybe next year at MDS&W I'll have the nerve to buy a whole animals worth of fiber.
Will you be spinning the alpace alone or with another animal for strength?
Thanks for sharing your methods.
- Rosemary said...
Hey, Ahrisha - this method is time consuming in the washing stage, but it saves time in the prep and spinning stages. I really like washing this way, and unless I discover some better way, this will be the way I always do it.
No, I won't blend the alpaca with anything. Alpaca doesn't need any help in the strength department - some folks like to add wool for "memory" but I like alpaca just the way it is. I spun some of the light brown into a nice, chunky yarn and won a prize on it at Taos! You can see it here if you like. Thanks for your kind comment, Rosemary
- sahara said...
Hi Rosemary, I just came over here from your Ravelry post. Hey, this is sooo handy––I didn't think to sew the locks into the netting. This will enable me to put them in the tub!
Thanks! Great photos too!
- sewwhatsports said...
Loved the idea of sewing the fleece into the tulle. I am using lingerie bags and just sewed in 3 rows of a Corridale Bond X in a gorgeous grey in 2 bags to test this out. I think it will be great. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial and pictures.

What we love…
Fun easy to use leveled math app that encouraged my son to practice his math skills
What we'd love to see…
ability to test out of content your child may already be familiar with, ability to turn off the sound affects within the app
I am looking forward to continuing to use the app with my son for his remaining homework assignments before school lets out and during the summer for part of his screen time to ensure that he stays on track with his math skills.
Our Rating
Zap Zap Math – K6 Math Games by Visual Math Interactive Sdn. Bhd. is a universal app for iOS that focuses on #commoncore math skills. The free app with gated in-app purchases (IAP) includes content for children from kindergarten through sixth grade to learn, master and be quizzed on math materials using games. The app itself contains over 150 games and over 180 math subtopics and is common core aligned to the Ontario Curriculum for Mathematics. For purposes of the review, I was given a full user ID and tested using second grade material since that is the grade my older son is in. The premium subscription is $9.99 USD and is charged on an annual basis. For those that purchase the full subscription there is also a web-based dashboard so you can check on your child's progress.
Skills practiced within the app include: Addition, Subtraction, Fractions, Ratios, Multiplication, Geometry, Coordinates, Measurements, Angles, Time. Each "year" within the app is a full school year's worth of content which is fantastic for home practice during homework time, for homeschooling families or simply to prevent the "summer slide".
Within the app, there are four different skill areas to use: training, accuracy, speed, mission. There is no spoken language contained within the app, but there are written directions as well as video tutorials to show you what to do for each of the mini games. After completing problems correctly, the words "good job" or stars are flashed on the screen. After taking the quiz, you are shown the results of your work as well as given a time bonus (if completed faster than allowed) to give you a total score.
- Training – this is the area where your child learns the skill and gets a tutorial about how to do it.
- Accuracy – your child uses the skill to answer questions faster and more accurately
- Speed Building – the skill itself is learned and now the focus is on completing the task in a faster manner
- Mission – this brings all the pieces together when you rocket into outer space with a fun mini game
One of the things we liked was that there was a tutorial for each type of game. This made sure we understood how to play it because it included step by step directions and a sample problem for you to complete. My son in particular enjoyed the hive game as he had to connect different equations together to complete the problem. At the end of each mission, you see your accuracy and score as well as a number of "Z" coins which are in app currency to purchase items. We also liked the wide variety of games and frankly the huge amount of free content available to users without purchasing a subscription. This app really allowed you to "try before you buy".
In terms of enhancements, it would be nice if there were a way to "test" out of content. My son was familiar in some cases with the content and kept telling me how "boring" it was to have to relearn a skill that he already knew. I also would like to be able to turn off the background sound within the app, my son found the ticking and various noises distracting so we ended up muting our device, but it would be nice if there was an easier way to do it. I'd also like a collaboration space, my son's math curriculum is very visually based and several times he actually wanted to use the number line or draw out the math problem. You can see the number line in the training mode, but you can't manipulate it which was something he requested. I would also like to see a parent gated area that contains the rating as well as a way to see the dashboard from my device in a future release.
Above is a screenshot of a sample dashboard that shows what skills each student is practicing along with accuracy, amount of time played, number of attempts. You can also click through to get a more detailed report.
I am looking forward to continuing to use the app with my son for his remaining homework assignments before school lets out and during the summer for part of his screen time to ensure that he stays on track with his math skills. This is a great app to try and see if it works for your family, the $9.99 in app purchase/annually seems affordable for the amount of content contained within the app. There are external links, however, they are parental gated.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon last week visited the Lockheed Martin assembly factory in Texas and called the new F-35 fighter jet "a cornerstone in building" the Israeli Air Force of the future.
Israel is one of the first countries on the list to receive the F-35 when America begins shipping to its foreign allies.
Like the F-16 before it, Yaalon said he had no doubt the F-35 would be a great asset and "give the Israel Air Force great operational abilities."
In a related development, the Pentagon has made the decision that F-35 pilots will use a helmet developed jointly by Rockwell Collins Inc. and Israel's Elbit Systems Ltd.
The decision knocked out of competition a helmet being developed by a British defense contractor. The Pentagon chose to go with the Rockwell-Elbit helmet following significant improvements and a lower price tag.

Was just thinking that Brian disappeared fairly quickly recently, cancelled a tour with Kerry Ellis (and apparently the release of their new album), then after an appropriate amount of time he resurfaced with a (to me) surprise announcement of a QAL tour of the USA in the summer of 2017.
While this may be a stretch do you think Mr. May might have been dipping the lead guitar into his solo tours lead vocalist and got caught again (remember Ms. Julie Glover?) and this was the reason for his quick disappearance for the past few months or was it simply another onset of depression?
I have no proof of anything but I can tell you that once a person becomes a politician I am suspect of everything they do and the same thing goes for musicians, actors and actresses.
It was just a random thought that popped into my head while drinking some Jim Beam and watching some Brian May youtube videos.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
In my last prayer letter I spoke about the decline of Biblical faith in America, particularly among our young people. I mentioned a study by the Barna Group which indicated that 60% of Christian teens will turn from their faith in early adulthood... Continue reading

A new survey commissioned by Answers in Genesis, a creation ministry in Hebron KY, supports that statistic. Sheila Richardson, a Christian educator, in an article "Today's Youth—Walking Away From Truth" in the July–September 2007 issue of AIG's magazine Answers, presented the results of the survey (p. 61). The nationwide investigation, conducted by Britt Beemer of America's Research Group, focused on people in their 20s who regularly attended an evangelical church while growing up. Shockingly, 86% of those polled began to question the Bible by their high school years. Of those who said they did not believe all the accounts in the Bible are true, 82% cited doubts about the Bible's authority or its trustworthiness. Where have we failed? For one thing, Christian youth are not being prepared for the attacks they face when confronted by the secular-humanistic culture we live in. Respondents to the survey indicated that Sunday school materials were shallow and "irrelevant." Our youth spend about 30 hours a week in school and another 30 hours in front of the TV. Is it any wonder that the influence of the secular world is having a greater impact than the 45 minutes or so of Christian teaching they receive in Sunday school each week? Richardson concluded her article with this challenge: "As the Beemer poll revealed, young people need to learn at a very early age why they believe what they believe. They need to be able to give answers that support their faith. With the Lord's enabling, Christian parents and teachers can change the results of the poll. Using the right materials, churches and parents can prepare kids to "think biblically" and to discern false teachings when encountered" (p.65). ABR is engaged in providing "the right materials." Our research and investigations result in information that supports the truth of Scripture. The exciting thing about archaeology is that every new discovery demonstrates the accuracy of God's word. In early July I was in England with a church group studying church history, architecture and music. While there, a very significant find was made in the British Museum in London. On July 5 a scholar from Vienna was translating a Babylonian tablet from among the 130,000 or so tablets housed in the museum when he came upon a Biblical name—Nebo-Sarsekim. This individual is named in Jeremiah 39:3 as one of Nebuchadnezzar's officials involved in the overthrow of Jerusalem in 587 BC. The recording of this official's name in the Bible is a mundane detail, and yet the discovery of the name in a contemporary Babylonian document, including the same title as in the Bible, demonstrates how accurately historical information is recorded in Scripture. Thank you for standing with us with your prayers and financial support as we provide the "hard evidence" that will build up the faith of God's people and prepare them for Satan's attacks.

BEIJING — The boss of a Chinese online video site said Monday he believes the sudden banning of four American TV shows does not represent a wider trend, though it's unclear why the shows were targeted.
The government's broadcast regulator issued a surprise order last week to online streaming companies to stop showing sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," political and legal drama "The Good Wife," crime drama "NCIS" and legal drama "The Practice." The first two are particularly popular with the young online audience.
"Give me back Sheldon," referring to the socially inept physicist on "The Big Bang Theory," was a popular refrain among social media users angry at the show's disappearance. Other users said the bans still wouldn't make them go back to watching surreal wartime dramas on state television.
"I believe it's a stand-alone event and it does not represent the policy trend or change toward American TV shows," Charles Zhang, Soho CEO and founder, said on a conference call.
Nasdaq-listed Sohu, which was the first Chinese online video site to license American TV shows, had rights to show two of the programs.
Zhang said Monday he had no explanation for the order and no comment on the possible reason. He said he didn't know if the ban will be temporary or permanent.
Adding to the mystery, a media and translation agency said Monday it was subtitling "The Big Bang Theory" for the state broadcaster, China Central Television.
An employee of Beijing-based CBM said they were translating the show and would return it to CCTV with captions in Chinese. The employee only gave his surname, Li, and referred to a statement posted on the company's website earlier this month that said the translation of "The Big Bang Theory" was under way and would be shown soon on CCTV.
Calls to CCTV's press department were not answered. Its website, CNTV, listed the seventh season of "The Big Bang Theory," but episodes were unable to load.
Sohu's Zhang said he didn't know about the translation for CCTV, and said Sohu had exclusive online rights to the show in mainland China.
The move follows a restructuring of China's regulatory agencies that appears to have given the broadcast regulator more authority over video websites.
Beijing has in the past allowed video websites to operate with few of the restrictions that movie and TV broadcasters face, possibly to avoid stifling what was seen as a promising high-tech industry.
Video websites, with looser controls, show dramas and comedies from the United States, South Korea and Europe and their own programs. They were not required to submit programs for approval, which allowed them to get imported material on the air faster than TV stations. In March, the regulator issued a notice saying programs and films lacking licenses could not be shown online.
AP researcher Yu Bing contributed to this report.

In the more than 100 years since man has been able to fly, we've made several significant advancements. From the early days of the Wright Brothers making history on Kill Devil Hill in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina to the modern international airports that now cover the world, the fascination we have with flight has only grown stronger with time. Now, we not only use airplanes as modes of transportation, but we also fly remote controlled aircraft and become captains ourselves. With the holidays fast approaching and the great selection at Harbor Freight Tools, there's no better time to see what special gifts you can find for your favorite aviation enthusiast.
Harbor Freight offers two radio controlled airplanes that provide tons of fun in the park or backyard. With the basic version for $39.99, you get an RC airplane that takes flight for up to 20 minutes on a full charge. Made to withstand rough landings, this sturdy Rechargeable Radio Controlled Airplane comes with replacement propellers so you can make repairs and keep right on flying. If you want to take your flying fun to the next level, then perhaps the Radio Controlled P51 Mustang Airplane for $99.99 is the better choice for you. This top-notch RC plane comes pre-built and flies for up to 10 minutes on a full charge. While you don't get the flight time of the basic version, you can fly in style with the same design as the famous P51 Mustang! And don't forget, no matter which RC airplane you choose, you'll need to pick up 6 to 8 AA batteries to power the remote control.
Here's what customers had to say about the basic version:
"I bought one of these to try my hand at RC airplanes. When flying one time I crashed it many feet up in a tree. That was the end of that, I thought. However, I saw the plane slowly bouncing down to the ground. I found it a few minutes later drenched in water and up against a grate in the irrigation ditch. I fished it out, took it home and let it dry out overnight. The next morning I powered it up and was amazed that it sprang to life! The engines fired up and it was good to go for many more flights. Practically indestructible." –Blaine from Utah
"I have enjoyed my plane for a few years now. I just took it out last night after it had been sitting for a COUPLE OF YEARS. Charged the battery, took it out in CALM evening twilight conditions. Had a 10 minute flight. I have flown radio controlled planes for 25 years and this is a hoot. I was surprised it flew after sitting for so long, unused. Great deal for the money." – Randy from Parts Unknown
And the P51 Mustang:
"This Mustang flies as good as some of my 4 or 500 buck planes, I would recommend some extra battery packs because you will want to fly it all day!" – Nickthestick from Northville, SD
"Very good plane. Got it and flew it out the box. Amazing speeds and handling. Would recommend to anyone. Nice beginner plane. Medium to slow speeds, and looks beautiful in the air. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" – Bry from Mansfield, Tx
Now, maybe you love airplanes but don't plan on taking a toy plane outside to fly anytime soon. Well, that's okay. You can still show off your love of aviation with the Balsa Wood Airplane Puzzle! At just $1.99, this inexpensive puzzle is fun to build and looks great on any desk, shelf, or table once complete. Also, you can build the airplane as it comes or you can paint the individual pieces for a truly unique work of art. But whether you choose the puzzle or one of the awesome (exclamation points optional) radio controlled planes, you'll find them right here at Harbor Freight Tools!

A shocking video of a deadly Russian plane crash shows the jet skidding off a snowy, slippery runway in Moscow, slamming into a busy road, and breaking into pieces.
The accident killed five people, including both pilots and three other crew members. Luckily the flight wasn't carrying any passengers and had only eight crew aboard. The three survivors were said to be seriously injured.
As horribly sad as it is that those people were lost, this is one of those tragedies that could have been far, far more devastating. Not only was the Red Wings Airlines plane, a Tu-204, empty save for the eight -- normally the aircraft can hold more than 200 -- but it came to a stop before barreling into traffic on the highway. So many more people could have died in the crash.
But what makes this one even more unusual is that it was caught on tape by a passing car's dashboard camera. You won't believe what you're seeing here ...
Incredible and so scary, right? If you look closely, you can see luggage, parts of the plane, and other debris smashing into the cars on the road.
So often we see photos of plane crash debris after the fact, but it's still rare, even in the age of smartphone cameras, to catch the moment of impact on film like this. Though the investigation is obviously only in the beginning stages, malfunctioning brakes in bad weather were likely a factor -- apparently not a first for this type of aircraft. Pilot error was also being looked into, at least initially, as a cause of Saturday's accident.
Our hearts are with the loved ones of those killed. And hopefully this video and the flight data will help determine what happened -- and the right steps can be taken to prevent another tragic crash like this.
Have you ever seen such dramatic video of a plane crash before?

The Bronx Celebrates:
Essay by John Yau
Biographical Notes
Lovell participated in invitational group shows at the A.l.R Gallery in 1981 and 1982. In 1982 Lovell had his first solo exhibition at the Interchurch Center, New York. In 1983 he participated in The Beauty Show at ABC No Rio; in Transfers at the Henry Street Settlement; Artists Prints at the Cayman Gallery and in Art Biz at Just Above Midtown/Downtown Gallery in New York.
In 1984 personal events inspired Lovell to "transit from portrait imagery to a more narrative and political content." He participated in Artists in the Marketplace, Bronx Museum of the Arts; Art Against Apartheid, Henry Street Settlement; South Bronx Show, Fashion Moda; Affirmations of Life at the Kenkeleba Gallery; and Two Person Show at the Studio Museum in Harlem Satellite Gallery. He also had a solo exhibition at Galeria Morivivi, New York At this period of his career Lovell's work, which has been strongly inspired by his travels in Western Europe, began to reflect his travels in Africa. An affinity with multi-strip textiles as seen in Ghana's Kente cloths and with the "crazy" quilt tradition of the African-American culture become apparent.

GROTON -- If it's spring, it must be prom season, right? But why should only the sweet 16s have all the fun?
Well, they shouldn't!
At least that's the contention of a growing number of local femmes who've long since (and some not so long since) graduated from high school but still know how to party!
You guessed it! It's time to squeeze into that old prom gown again and strut your stuff at the Alpine Grove Banquet Facility in Hollis, N.H., for the fourth annual Mom Prom event.
And this year, organizers promise to pull out all the stops to make sure attendees not only have a good time but break their record for money raised to help the fight against breast cancer.
"Each year we make improvements with the event," said Mom Prom Committee member Kelsey McCormick. "All the way from the food and beverages offered to the entertainment throughout the night. To mention a couple, this year we have a really neat photography vendor that I think attendees will have a lot of fun with! Additionally, instead of a silent auction, this year we are putting together really great raffle baskets with various items donated from local businesses."
Now a national phenom, the Mom Prom concept was first dreamed up in 2006 by Michigan resident Betsy Crapps as a fundraising gimmick at her own St. Thomas a'Becket Catholic Church .
Conceived as a ladies' night out for charity, participants deck themselves out in their old prom gowns, bridesmaids dresses, or wedding gowns and "dance, dance, dance" the night away according to the official website.
The area version of the Mom Prom was first held in 2011 and proved to be an immediate hit among the local ladies, with attendance growing by leaps and bounds each year since.
According to McCormick, in first year of the event 90 tickets were sold and last year 260.
"This year, we would love to reach 350," said McCormick. According to Crapps, last year alone, "Mom Proms raised $200,000 for charity. So far this spring, we have 40 proms scheduled in 26 states and expecting more."
But it's not all fun and games; there's a serious side to the event too.
Proceeds from ticket sales go to the St. Joseph's Hospital Breast Care Center in Nashua, N.H. Funding allows the hospital to purchase state-of-the-art technology such as digital breast tomosynthesis to perform three-dimensional mammography for breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
"We raised $22,074 in 2013 and hope to double it this year," said McCormick.
"We're still ladies only, although attendees don't have to be moms," confirmed McCormick. "We do have a male DJ and a couple other males that work the event; otherwise it's just the ladies and the cardboard cutout prom dates including Patrick Swayze and Elvis, just to mention a couple. After all, we need someone to take our prom photos with!"
And if their dates wear thin, there are games, contests, and dancing, dancing, dancing to keep the ladies entertained.
It does however, take a special kind of woman to love a Mom Prom but as it turns out, they're not hard to find:
"A woman who loves to have a good time and who has a good heart," said McCormick. "That's all you need. What sounds better than a girls' night out for a good cause? We all know that sometimes we need a night out ... being a mom or not. What's better than a night of fun with friends and family all while supporting a good cause? A charity that's close to your heart? It's hard to say no to something like that and the buzz about Mom Prom has spread like wildfire."
And aside from the $60 ticket, not much is needed to get in the front door except maybe the Mom Prom's biggest claim to fame: its no holds barred fashion statements.
"Bright, poofy, sometimes animal print dresses with big hair," said McCormick of the most popular styles that have been on display at past events. "It's definitely the '80s all the way. And who doesn't like the '80s?"
So if having a rollicking good time (sans male escorts) while helping out a worthy cause is your bag, then stop wasting time and check out the event's website at mompromnashua.org for information.
Remember, that's the Mom Prom to be held on April 26 from 7 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. at the Alpine Grove Banquet Facility in Hollis, N.H. (just outside of Nashua). Ticket sales end April 21.

One of these days I'm hoping to post some of my family's past Christmas Card pictures of me and my 3 brothers that my mother mailed to over 100 friends and family every year. One year (1969) the middle brother was yelling with his mouth open and the baby of the family (age 7-8 months) was looking at him with wonder. (We older two were ignoring him.) I think my mother felt that the photo said something about us kids and that's the one she chose to mail to friends and family that year. It's great when people in pictures are not perfectly posed! This is a great shot.

Maggie Shipstead has won the £30,000 Dylan Thomas Prize. The 28-year-old Californian author won the prize for her debut novel Seating Arrangements, which satarises the pretentions of New England American society.
A student of Zadie Smith at the Iowa Writer's Workshop, Maggie Shipstead was deemed to be highly accomplished.
Telegraph columnist, novelist and judge Allison Pearson said: "The winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize before she's 30, the smart money has to be on Maggie Shipstead winning a Pulitzer before she's 50". Pearson went on to compare her work to that of John Updike and Jane Smiley.
Open to any published author in the English language under the age of 30, the Dylan Thomas award celebrates the legacy of the Welsh poet.
The chairman of the judges Peter Florence, the founder of the Hay Festival, said: "This prize celebrates the achievement of young writers, and does so in the name of the gabbiest, most compassionate, anguished and playful spirit of his age."
The other shortlisted authors were Tom Benn for The Doll Princess, Andrea Eames for The White Shadow, Chibundu Onuzo for The Spider King's Daughter and DW Wilson for Once You Break A Knuckle.

The Internet makes it official: I'm not the only one.
As the newly christened 416th member of the "Looney Tunes introduced me to classical music" Facebook group, I take solace. Now I know there are others who, like me, were first exposed to the highbrow musical world through the (seemingly) lowbrow antics of the "wascally wabbit" and a bald, pronunciation-challenged hunter.
Unlike many a classically trained musician, I didn't grow up in a household exposed to the classics — unless one counts Neil Diamond in the same league as Wolfgang Mozart. Rather, Rossini, Strauss and Wagner first came to me in the hours spent watching "Looney Tunes" reruns on Nickelodeon throughout the 1990s.
These days — with most cartoon music not even requiring the talents of live musicians, much less full orchestras — it's comforting to know that the melodious merits of the legendary Warner Bros. cartoon series have not been lost in time.
On Aug. 6 in Irvine's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, families will get to see the cartoons of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and their on-screen cohorts accompanied by the Pacific Symphony.
"Bugs Bunny at the Symphony" will feature such classics as "What's Opera, Doc?", "Baton Bunny" and "The Rabbit of Seville." The concert begins at 8 p.m., with the gates opening at 6 p.m.
George Daugherty guest conducts the Costa Mesa-based orchestra, which during the summer calls Irvine home. The Emmy Award-winner and Indiana native knows Bugs well.
Next Saturday's concert is the sequel to "Bugs Bunny on Broadway," the innovative orchestra-and-film show conceived by Daugherty that had its first performance in San Diego in 1990. Over the course of its 21-year run, the show has toured the world and entertained some two million people.
Performing "Bugs Bunny at the Symphony" in Irvine with Orange County's orchestra is especially significant, Daugherty notes in the concert program.
Chuck Jones — the longtime animation director of "Looney Tunes" and co-creator of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and others — lived and died in nearby Corona del Mar. He was a regular Pacific Symphony concert attendee with his wife, Marian, and daughter Linda — both of whom are scheduled to attend the Aug. 6 concert.
Jones was also present during the 1991 tour of "Bugs Bunny on Broadway" when it came to the amphitheater, then known as Irvine Meadows.
"Chuck stood on this very stage with me that night, enrapturing the sold-out audience with wonderful tales of the golden days of 'Termite Terrace,'" Daugherty writes. "We were all captivated. And rightly so — how often do you get a master class from the master who literally invented a whole new medium?"
An art exhibition from the city of Orange-based Chuck Jones Center for Creativity will also be present before the concert, and costumed characters will roam the grounds.
Tickets for children younger than 14, with the purchase of an adult ticket, are half price in most sections of the amphitheater.

I'm ninteen years old, polish art academy student. I'm big fan of cooking, not only japanese stuff, but cooking in general. In bento I'm still newbie, I've made only few so far. But now, I'm studying and working at the same time, and spending more time apart my dear kitchen, so I think I've got enough good excuse to bring little cute boxed meal with me every day.
Aside cooking, I'm interested in fashion and design, theatre, movies, books, art in general. Also, I adore Japanese culture (yeah, manga and anime includes). I've been training kendo for about a year and half, but had to make a short break because of my final highschool exams. I'm trekkie and sf fan (TRUE nerd). Also, beeing a nerd, I love games, esspecially adventure ones (Monkey Island, Syberia). Also, I LOVE motorcycles. And old cars. And RETRO in general. But the most motorcycles.
Pleased to meet you :)
Hi Zelda. I'm also a lover of motorcycles. British and European ones specifically.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Hi bronwyncarlisle!
Oh, I really didn't expected another motorbike lover on cooking site <3 !
Hi Zelda
Zelda is a great name for a SF gaming fan.
I wouldn't have guessed that manga was well known in Poland. It is not well known in New Zealand. Have manga been translated into Polish or do you read them in English?
Hi Trisha!
Yes, manga is very popular in Poland, esspecially now. You can say, it's in fashion last years amog teenagers. For about 12 years we have anime and manga conventions. A lot of manga had been published in Poland, we have got about 4 active publishers that publish manga and manhwa and 2 that publish anime. It's easy to find them in bookstores in shopping centers, but we have also comic shops where you can find also english, german or orginal japanese editions, as well as many gadgets, badges, artbooks... We have few groups of artists, who are making them themselfs! Also, there is a few anime airing on TV, even mature ones as Nana, Gankutsuou or Mononoke. Of course, at conventions we have cosplay competitions (I'm a cosplayer myself :3), and sometimes over 100 cosplayers are taking part!
Zelda, sadly, isn't my true name, it's given nickname, but some friends call me by that :).
