Your products got us back up and running. The Female Maturity Formula has really helped me. We then ordered your Garlic Juice for the ear, Black Walnut Tincture and Parkinson's Kit and all these products did their job. Thanks also to Wendy, for the Lord has blessed us with your God-given talent. You have been a great encouragement to us in so many ways. Thank you.
Glynda Hollowell - Maryneal, TX
I recommend your products for the quality I have seen so far. I decided to pick up and make some tools like a good microscope, oscilloscope, Spectrum and light meter...etc., so I could start to verify product claims. Basically, all life has energy and even inert items have some resonance. I opened 2 bottles of your herbs at this time and found them to be rich. There is color and a good lengthy spectrum to them which tells me they are quality items and long lasting. I appreciate your website information and the processing you folks use. Seems processing is the key to quality. Thanks again.

Homemade Weed Killer Recipes & Solutions
Pulling weeds by hand is not always easy or practical, they're pesky and determined to pop back up and spread in no time. If you're looking for more natural ways to control them that don't include harsh chemicals and are safer for children and pets (bonus: most are pretty frugal too), here is a list of diy recipes and solutions from my collection. I've also included a few tips at the bottom.
- Vinegar: Kill weeds dead with a good shot of vinegar. For best results, don't dilute with water and choose a time to spray when there's no sign of rain. Household vinegar is around 5% acetic acid concentration which will do the trick for new growth. If you can find a stronger vinegar (like pickling which is about 9%), that will give better results for more mature (and stubborn) varieties.
- Salt: This is effective but keep in mind that significant amounts will cause damage to surrounding soil as well. Salt should only be used in places where you want no plant growth (like driveways, sidewalk cracks, underneath decks and patio blocks, around the foundation of the house, etc.). To use, a ratio of 1 part salt to 2 parts water should do it. You can also drizzle straight salt over top.
- Salt & Vinegar Recipe: (read note above first). Combine 1 1/4 cups of table salt with 1 gallon of household vinegar. Spray where needed.
- Vinegar & Dish Detergent: Fill a spray bottle with pickling vinegar and add a squirt or two of liquid dish detergent. Spray during the hottest part of the day.
- Liquid Dish Detergent: Make a soap solution of 1 part liquid dish detergent to 10 parts water. Soak the pesky growth with this mix.
- Boiling Water: Plug in the kettle, bring it to a boil then pour the hot water over weeds (you're basically cooking them to death).
- Lemon Juice: Either use straight lemon juice or try 1/2 cup lemon juice mixed with 1 quart household vinegar. This works much the same way as straight vinegar, but lemon juice is more expensive. I would only use this if I had more lemon juice on hand than I knew what to do with.
- Common Recipe: 1 quart household vinegar, 1/4 cup salt, 2 teaspoons liquid dish detergent (only use a detergent that contains no bleach). Mix together and spray.
- Corn Gluten Meal (this is different than corn meal): This is an all natural product that deters weeds spreading by seed, a great source of info regarding this method can be found here: City Of Ottawa (how and when to apply it, etc.). Effective on crabgrass, dandelions, curly dock, knotweed, lambs quarters, pigweed, plantain and others. Can be used on lawns, flowerbeds, bulb beds and vegetable gardens. Make sure to use CGM that is labeled as "pre-emergent herbicide", stuff from the feedstore doesn't have enough protein to work. Keep in mind that using CGM affects seed growth for all types of plants, not just those you're trying to get rid of.
- Many natural remedies and products will not only work, but they may also kill surrounding grass, plants and flowers. When using a recipe, make sure to apply to the weed only (keep in mind that liquids will saturate and seep into the ground where roots from favored plants may be able to reach).
- Use when there's no sign of rain for at least a day or two, hot sunny weather will give you best results.
- For gardens and flower beds, consider laying newspapers and mulch in and around your plants–the weeds will have a difficult time rooting and spreading (see tip #9: 12 Ways To Reuse Newspaper Around The House).
- Weed growth is greatly reduced when using the "No Dig" method of gardening (see Diggin It: No Dig Gardening). The idea is to make a foundation of compost/mulch then only use soil where you plant (make a hole in the mulch, stick a handful or two of dirt inside then plant the seedling).
Did you know: Many weeds are used in home remedies for all sorts of things and some are even edible and tasty! For example, dandelions can be used to make a delicious syrup, wine or jelly, while plantains can be crushed and used to reduce itching from mosquito bites or relieve pain from bee stings. Take some time to research the ones in your area and you may find some pretty clever ways to make them useful–you may just decide to let a few live and flourish in certain parts of your yard ;).

Stay over for Chester shopping
The hotel is modern and clean.
The service was adequate. The rooms comfortable and of a fair size. The bed was very comfortable indeed. The bathroom was clean but was showing it's age. The toilet was difficult to flush and there was no shower screen to protect the floor which became quite wet and slippy after anyone used the shower. On a plus point, the supplied toiletries were excellent, with deodorant and toothpaste in addition to the usual shower and hair gel. The bar was contemporary in design and very expensive which came as no surprise. We did not have dinner in restaurant but did choose the breakfast which was very busy. We waited in line for 10 minutes without any explanation from the staff as to how long we would be expected to wait. The choice was okay but the quality was fairly poor, for example some of the hot food was dry because it had been left on the hotplate for too long. Overall the stay was good but the price paid far exceeded the quality of the hotel. 45 minutes walk into the centre which if closer might have excused the high price.

Unfortunately not as good as our last visits.

Most annoying was that price was pushed up by ten pounds whilst in middle of booking. This we had no option to pay but was infuriating.

Customer Insight: How one Cloud services provider reduced provisioning time by 50% with Cisco Unified Computing System ™ and FlexPod
What comes to mind when you think about the color blue? Whenever I think about the color blue in nature, I'm transported to the clear blue skies and turquoise ocean waves of Hawaii. For many people, the color blue has a restorative quality: It's invigorating and puts us back in control of priorities. My affinity for "all things blue," is why I was attracted to this story about Cisco customer, BlueWave Computing, LLC., a cloud services provider based in Atlanta, Georgia. BlueWave's existing server and storage infrastructure had reached its limits and was creating performance and reliability issues. That's when BlueWave decided it was time for a change. They worked with Cisco to reinvigorate their data center, making it ready for next generation of cloud services, and clearing the way for "nothing but blue skies ahead."
By Carol Shottes, UCS Marketing Manager, Cisco
BlueWave Computing chooses Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS)™ FlexPod solution for its speed, reliability and ease of management.
BlueWave's challenge was to deliver a new, high-performance cloud service while keeping infrastructure and management costs low. BlueWave had experienced rapid growth in the number of its cloud services customers. As BlueWave's cloud workload increased and the company brought new services to market, its IT team found itself at the limit of what the company's existing server and storage infrastructure could offer. BlueWave began experiencing issues with storage, performance, and reliability. And as BlueWave teams worked to address the issues, they became frustrated by the lack of integrated support offered by the former vendor. As a result, the team began searching for a new foundation for its virtual cloud offering, and sought out a unified data center solution supporting the company's next phase of growth.
"Cisco UCS is optimized to run in a virtualized environment, and it has a clear advantage over competing solutions when it comes to speed, reliability, and ease of management," says Dan Timko, VP of Cloud Services, BlueWave Computing, LLC "The high-density Cisco UCS infrastructure also offered the ability to scale up our systems more sustainably and profitably."
Cisco's FlexPod Solution and BlueWave's Results – Three times (3X) the Storage Performance and Half the Latency
BlueWave deployed FlexPod in its primary data center in Atlanta, and is built on Cisco(R) UCS B230 M2 Blade Servers, a two-socket platform that delivers high performance and density in a compact, half-width form factor and incorporates NetApp FAS storage. Its all-Cisco network infrastructure includes Cisco Nexus 5548 Switch as the core switch for VLAN management and routing and the Cisco UCS 6248UP 48-Port Fabric Interconnect to provide uniform access to both networks and storage. BlueWave is also using Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances (ASAs) for its edge firewalls, Cisco Catalyst® 3750 Switches for its access layer, and Cisco Catalyst 2960 Switches. Last but not least, BlueWave is using Cisco UCS Manager for easier account management, authentications to LDAP, and role-based access to systems.
BlueWave also appreciates the incremental scalability of UCS, which makes it much less expensive for the company to add more capacity because it does not have to buy a big, expensive chassis, with switches and fiber, every time it needs to scale up. "Scaling becomes cheaper and easier from a labor perspective, because all we need to do in the Cisco UCS model is plug in a new blade, then apply the service profile with UCS Manager," says Timko. BlueWave can now onboard customers and increase capacity more rapidly and cost effectively. FlexPod cuts time to provision new services in half because Cisco UCS management software reduces the time to deploy server templates.
Boosting Productivity while saving Time, Money and Energy
In addition to saving time and staffing resources, BlueWave is also reducing one of its biggest expenses: power and cooling. "One of the benefits of the density of the FlexPod platform is that we can run more VMs on far fewer blades," says Timko. "We can effectively double the RAM in the system without doubling the power usage, which makes a significant contribution to our bottom line."

CORONA — The next stop might be prison.
An MTA token booth clerk who claimed she was tied up and robbed on the job was arrested on Wednesday after police said she was in on the caper — cooking up a half-baked plot that included the thieves asking her to warm up food.
In the bizarre incident, Tracy King, 48, from Jamaica, told police that she was approached by Bedford-Stuyvesant resident Anthony Brown, 42, wearing a reflective contractor's vest outside of her token booth about 11 a.m. on Saturday, in the 111th Street 7 train station at Roosevelt Avenue.
After asking to heat up his food in a break room, King claimed the man duct-taped her hands and mouth, then took the key and unlocked the booth, according to the Queens District Attorney's office.
"I don't want to hurt you," King said Brown told her. "It's all about the money."
King was later found tied up in the break room by other MTA employees. Police found a roll of duct tape and a plastic container with a fingerprint matching Brown's in the break room.
But Brown told a different story to police, according to the district attorney's office.
Brown told police that King asked him if he "wanted to make some money," and told him to come to the booth at that time, according to prosecutors. When he got there, King told him about the money, and asked for $2,000 for herself, Brown claimed.
Brown also allegedly told police that the duct tape was King's idea, in order to make the robbery look more believable. He also told investigators he had no gun, and that the two were friends who had known each other for about 10 years, according to the district attorney's office.
Phone records also allegedly show Brown calling King on her cell phone, including a call from a day before the "robbery," prosecutors said.
Brown was arrested on Monday, after police executed a search warrant on his house and found a reflective vest, a metal grinder, grinding blades and painter's tape, according to the district attorney's office. Police also found $2,334 in cash inside the Queens apartment of Brown's girlfriend.
About $4,000 in cash was stolen from the booth, prosecutors said.
Both were charged with grand larceny, defrauding the government and falsely reporting an incident. If convicted, both face up to seven years in prison, according to the Queens DA.

When the Galvin team set out to create the perfect hotdog there were a lot of things to consider and it took four months of work to create a sausage, bun and choucroute which reached their standards. When it came to which mustard to use, they sought out the same sort of rigour and experience and found it at Maille. In this film Maille's Mustard Sommelier Harry Lalousis talks a little about what makes mustard such an essential part of the Galvin Dog de Luxe:

Business, Agriculture, and Tourism 1878-1897
Florida and the War for Cuban Independence, 1898
The New Century and a Growing State, 1899-1913
During the Civil War, Florida was not ravaged as several
other southern states were. Indeed, no decisive battles
were fought on Florida soil. While Union forces occupied
many coastal towns and forts, the interior of the state
remained in Confederate hands.
Florida provided an estimated 15,000 troops and significant
amounts of supplies including salt, beef, pork, and cottonto
the Confederacy, but more than 2,000 Floridians, both African
American and white, joined the Union army. Confederate
and foreign merchant ships slipped through the Union navy
blockade along the coast, bringing in needed supplies from
overseas ports. Tallahassee was the only southern capital
east of the Mississippi River to avoid capture during the
war, spared by southern victories at Olustee (1864) and
Natural Bridge (1865). Ultimately, the South was defeated,
and federal troops occupied Tallahassee on May 10, 1865.
Before the Civil War, Florida had been well on its way
to becoming another of the southern cotton states. Afterward,
the lives of many residents changed. The ports of Jacksonville
and Pensacola again flourished due to the demand for lumber
and forest products to rebuild the nation's cities. Those
who had been slaves were declared free. Plantation owners
tried to regain prewar levels of production by hiring former
slaves to raise and pick cotton. However, such programs
did not work well, and much of the land came under cultivation
by tenant farmers and sharecroppers, both African American
and white.

Anorexia Nervosa - Signs, Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery. Our Fairfax, VA Center for Discovery specializes in treating this Eating Disorder.
Anorexia nervosa, also referred to as anorexia, is a complex eating disorder that affects millions of people each year in the United States and around the world. It is characterized by a preoccupation with body weight or shape and limiting food intake, resulting in unhealthy weight loss. It may also be accompanied by other behaviors such as vomiting after meals, the use of substances like diet pills, or intense exercising. Though it often develops during teenage years or adolescence, anorexia does not discriminate between age, gender, race or class.
Anorexia is a complicated disorder, and it is important to know the signs and symptoms to look for. Below is a list of common characteristics found in individuals who suffer from it:
Feeling worried, preoccupied or sad about body shape or weight
Significant fear of gaining weight or frequently checking weight
Limiting or restricting the types or amount of food eaten
Feeling guilty after eating
Avoidance of eating with others
Exercising intensely or taking diet pills, laxatives, diuretics, or other substances to control body shape or weight
Perceiving their body differently compared to the way others view them
Enjoyment of cooking for others but not for themselves
Difficulty fulfilling commitments or responsibilities due to exercise habits, eating patterns, or thoughts about appearance.
Isolating from others or spending more time alone
Because of its complexity, several different factors can contribute to the development of anorexia. Some of these may include:
Biological factors, such as genetics
Emotional factors, such as increased sensitivity to changes or low self-esteem
Cultural and societal factors, such as images in the media
Interpersonal factors, such as difficulty expressing feelings or a history of being teased
No one factor is responsible for causing anorexia, and it is important for loved ones to know they are not the cause. It develops from a multitude of factors that are unique to each individual, and understanding this becomes critical when a person seeks treatment.
Because each individual has unique circumstances, specific goals for eating disorder treatment will vary from person to person. More generally, eating disorder treatment might help someone:
Identify underlying factors which may have contributed to the development of the eating disorder
Understand the purpose of the eating disorder and why it has persisted
Develop a new set of skills to navigate one's life and effectively cope with emotions and stress
Improve communication, connection, and relationships with loved ones
Heal the relationship with food through nutrition education and experiential activities
In addition, eating disorders frequently co-exist with other issues, such as depression, anxiety, or the effects of trauma. It is absolutely essential that the eating disorder and any other co-occurring disorders are simultaneously addressed and treated in order for the individual to fully recover.
Center For Discovery Fairfax, VA specializes in residential treatment for anorexia nervosa with unique treatment programs for every individual to get them on their way to eating disorder recovery.
For more information, resources, or to consult with an eating disorder treatment specialist, call 866482.3876
Anorexia can lead to profound life-threatening medical and psychological consequences and often coexists with other issues, such as depression and anxiety. It has the highest death rate of all mental health conditions, and 1 in 5 deaths from anorexia are from suicide. If an individual is suffering from anorexia, it is critical that they get professional help from an eating disorder specialist as soon as possible. Experts in the field of eating disorders have found that early intervention and intensive treatment can significantly improve a person's chance of recovery.
The anorexia recovery program at the Fairfax, VA treatment facility usually involves some form of psychotherapy or counseling, including individual, family, or group therapy, which is combined with attending to the nutritional and medical needs of the individual. This requires a caring team of specialized professionals, which at a minimum includes a therapist, a dietitian, and a medical doctor. Treatment should be uniquely tailored to the individual, and the level of care will vary depending on severity and needs.

Dec. 18, 2008
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA--Head Coach Jon Hird of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's cross country team has been honored by the Little East Conference.
Hird has been named Little East Conference Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year.
The Corsairs finished 16th at the New England Division III Regional Championships last fall with a team score of 446 points, nearly 300 points better than their showing a year ago. UMass Dartmouth finished third at both the Little East Conference and New England Alliance Championships, which was three places better than they finished in the Alliance championships a year ago. In addition, four members of the team earned All-Academic honors.
"I really appreciate the support of my Little East colleagues, but any award like this is usually the result of a team effort, and that was the case this fall," said Hird. "We had a great team that came together really well, and the assistance of a great assistant coach in Deon Barrett."
"Jon's recognition is well deserved," said UMass Dartmouth Director of Athletics Ian Day. It is an indication that the program is heading in the right direction"
The Corsair track team will return to action when they compete in the MIT Pentathlon on Saturday, January 10th.

Editor's Note: This article was originally in the LaFollette Press' March 28, 2013 edition.
It was my second year of college, and I was attending a religious university. As with any such university, there were strong guidelines for admittance.
I've replayed the story in my mind like a record on a turntable. They would all pile into my grandfather's station wagon and set out into the unknown.
I received my Eagle Scout rank on June 1, 2013 when I was 13. I am one of the youngest Eagle Scouts in the nation, but do you want to know why I got my Eagle Scout at 13?
My husband and I went to a neighbor's surprise birthday party last Saturday night. It's always exciting to go to this home. The couple is exotic.

Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
More common
Less common
Symptoms of overdose
Get emergency help immediately if any of the following symptoms of overdose occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
More common
Less common
After you stop using this medicine, it may still produce some side effects that need attention. During this period of time, check with your doctor immediately if you notice the following side effects:
Zopiclone may cause you to have a coated tongue, bad breath, or a bitter taste. These effects are to be expected when you are taking this medicine.
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
If you think you need to take zopiclone for more than 7 to 10 days, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. Insomnia that lasts longer than this may be a sign of another medical problem.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that cause drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are using this medicine.
This medicine may cause some people, especially older persons, to become drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, clumsy or unsteady, or less alert than they are normally. Even though zopiclone is taken at bedtime, it may cause some people to feel drowsy or less alert on arising. Make sure you know how you react to zopiclone before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy, or are not alert or able to see well.
If you develop any unusual and strange thoughts or behavior while you are taking zopiclone, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. Some changes that have occurred in people taking this medicine are like those seen in people who drink alcohol and then act in a manner that is not normal. Other changes may be more unusual and extreme, such as confusion, worsening of depression, hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there), suicidal thoughts, and unusual excitement, nervousness, or irritability.
If you will be taking zopiclone for a long time, do not stop taking it without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are taking before stopping completely. Stopping this medicine suddenly may cause withdrawal side effects.
After taking zopiclone for insomnia, you may have difficulty sleeping (rebound insomnia) for the first few nights after you stop taking it.
If you think you or someone else may have taken an overdose of this medicine, get emergency help at once. Taking an overdose of zopiclone or taking alcohol or other CNS depressants with zopiclone may lead to breathing problems and unconsciousness. Some signs of an overdose are clumsiness or unsteadiness, mental or mood changes, severe drowsiness, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Take this medicine only as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. If too much is taken, it may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence).
Do not take this medicine when your schedule does not permit you to get a full night's sleep (7 to 8 hours). If you must wake up before this, you may continue to feel drowsy and may experience memory problems, because the effects of the medicine have not had time to wear off.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Sleep medicines may cause a special type of memory loss or "amnesia". When this occurs, a person does not remember what has happened during the several hours between use of the medicine and the time when its effects wear off. This is usually not a problem since most people fall asleep after taking the medicine. In most instances, memory problems can be avoided by taking zopiclone only when you are able to get a full night's sleep (7 to 8 hours) before you need to be active again. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you think you are having memory problems.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Studies on this medicine have been done only in adult patients, and there is no specific information comparing use of zopiclone in children with use in other age groups.
Confusion, lack of coordination, and falling are more likely to occur in the elderly, who are usually more sensitive than younger adults to the effects of zopiclone.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Drug Interactions
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Other Interactions
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Zopiclonebelongs to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants (medicines that make you drowsy or less alert). This medicine is used to treat insomnia (trouble in sleeping). Zopiclone helps you get to sleep faster and sleep through the night. In general, when sleep medicines are used every night for a long time, they may lose their effectiveness. In most cases, sleep medicines should be used only for short periods of time, such as 1 or 2 days, and generally for no longer than 1 or 2 weeks.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Second Annual NaKniSweMo!
This year, we're going to knit along with our writing pals over at NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) again. Last year's post about it is here. Note that we changed the name after realizing NaNoSweMo made no sense!
How it works with NaNoWriMo: write a 50,000-word novel in a month. As they say on that page: "This is not as scary as it sounds."
How it works with NaKniSweMo: knit a 50,000-stitch sweater in a month. If you divide your chosen sweater pattern's rows or rounds by 30, you'll have an idea of how many rows you need to knit each day to make it. Yes, the stitch count thing is crazy, but I think I can say with confidence that most sweaters out there are at least that, or more.
New this year: a NaKniSweMo Ravelry group! But no worries if you're still on the waitlist — post a comment here and say you're taking part. If you're super-proud of your FO, send me a photo and I'll post it in December!
Suggested sweaters, if you're stuck: why not try the Faux Fair Isle from Spin to Knit? It's excellent for stashbusting, too. In fact, since I'm all about the destashing, I will award a prize to the most creative destash-tastic Faux Fair Isle sweater. You really can throw just about any yarn at that pattern, handspun or no, and it'll work.

I will ask the admins if it is alright to start a thread about Japan, in Other Board, maybe, if you like. If you get me started, I probably will go deep into the history and geography and how they shape the culture (unless someone smacks me with a 2x4) as well as the religious systems there (Shinto is native, but Buddhism was worked in). And how there are different social groups that aren't usually talked about as much: the Ainu in the north, people of Korean extraction that though they have been in Japan for generations are catagorized as "Korean" and the Burakumin, "Untouchables" of a kind. Japan is not a monolith.Ebor
I forgot to add that I realize many of those catalysts don't affect terrorists' decision to become blood-thirsty killers- they are just following Sharias, Haddith, and the Koran (in their eyes no doubt).So some spiritual remedies don't work- just got to wipe 'em out.
Last week I was following links and came to a blog written by a Muslim gentleman living in Saudi Arabia. He is very much against the Muttawa (the "religious police") and thought that Abp. Carey (actually, being retired I think he's Lord Carey now) "hit the nail on the head". Right now the blog is not being up dated as things are unsettled in S.A. and if he were to be found out, the authorities would not be....indifferent, let's say.I'll send you the URL if you want. It's an amazing site and dedicated to the 15 girls who died in the Makkah school fire because the Muttawa wouldn't let them out without their abaya and veil. He doesn't mince words about some of the evil treatment of women and other things in S.A.Ebor
Indeed, Phil, that was an incredibly racist thing to say. I have lived in overwhelmingly immigrant neighborhoods (usually South American but sometimes Asian) and I have never, ever seen an abuse of welfare by such immigrants. If anything, they work longer and harder than the average white American living in the same neighborhood.
You denounce racism, but then turn around and use it against whites.I lived in Texas and Florida for many years and worked side-by-side with Latinos on construction jobs and a very high number were on welfare and using other government programs. They made no secret about it. Just because they work, doesn't mean they're not taking an assortment of handouts.I have no doubt that if America cut out all the freebies, immigration will drop like a rock. After all, there's nobody starving in Mexico. I saw plenty of plump Mexicans.I think its ridiculous that a person comes here (legally or illegally) and heads straight for a government office for some kind of handout. In years past, nobody was allowed to come to America if they were suspected of becoming a "public charge." Now the situation is practically reversed - we seem to only allow people who become public charges!A couple of years ago I talked to a women from England who immigrated to the US. Here's someone with job skills, speaks English, a Christian, and can be easily assimilated, but the INS made her jump through all kinds of hoops for years before allowing her to become a citizen.
On the other hand, I do feel compassion for the less fortunate that really want to fulfill the "american dream."
I'm not ignorant of who's cleaning toilets & offices at night & working our fields, which most americans don't have the "dignity" to do.What we need to do is cut out the welfare that is so easy for some people to get & provide these people with services that are going to help themselves & thier families. I think that better "educating" these people may be key for success and giving them as many options as possible. Instead of just giving them handouts, there could be government services that help new immigrants find work & maybe give incentives to companies that hire such people.
Nacho: I agree with some of of the things you are saying here. I have Russian friends & can't beleive tha amount of stuff they get away with. I also heard that about 1/5 of the russian immigrants they let in have criminal records in thier home country. I guess that's what happens when you let a lot of PC sensitive bone head liberals run our system.

From an Orthodox persepctive, I have to wonder why we should want any non-Orthodox immigrants? I realize its unreasonable to think that can ever be the case, but I'm just being pragmatic. Having Muslims and other non-Christians coming here really isn't helping us any. I don't think allowing America to become more non-Christian will do anything but further weaken what Christian traditions we have left - especially with the way the liberals are inclined to pander to anything that's not Christian.
I have seen and stood in the mile-long line of Russians, all hoping for visas, outside the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. I have also experienced the many hurdles that Russians must jump before being allowed to come to this country, even temporarily.I can tell you firsthand, Russians don't get into this country very easily. I would be really surprised if those with criminal records - beyond misdemeanors - get to come at all (unless some big time bucks are changing hands).
This post gave me autism.
Since when has a Hierarch done anything for you? . . .
Apparently you can get the Juice or Power from a certain Icon.
From a different type of Orthodox perspective, all the Orthodox in America are the result of immigration of one type or another; Orthodoxy isn't the native religion in the New World as it is in countries of the Old. I understand the point you are making, but cannot bring myself to say "I'm OK, but X is not", when we are on an equal footing, being of religions which, however different from each other, are still completely different from the majority religion here.
What Christian traditions do we have left in America, btw? As far as I'm concerned, this stopped being a Christian nation a long time ago. I agree with Linus.
My uncle has been in this country legally since 1996 (when he came here to see his brother--my father--on his deathbed), trying to legally achieve immigrant status. He's been on visitor visas and work visas. As of right now, he still doesn't have immigrant status, and is still working hard to get it, even though he speaks the language, has a degree, is a medical professional, has worked here for years, is a law abiding resident, and has been such in a few countries, etc., etc., etc. Basically, if you obey the law and work with the legal process, thus showing respect for the ways of the US, it is extremely difficult to get into this country. If you disobey, you can have a job, a residence, and public education (maybe?) as soon as you get off your plane, boat, or inner tube.

Don't forget the converts Mor. Or would that count as immigration from Heterodox religions?Agree completely. America stopped being a Christian Nation in its politcs over 100 years ago and in its population within the last 50 years. Faith just doesn't exist anymore here.Joe Zollars
"You have got to be very careful with that last statement of yours. your living in a protestant nation that has a sizable christian following and yes they are christians."In your opinion, but not in mine. If you are not a part of the Body of Christ, you are not a Christian, regardless of whether you call yourself one or think you are one. You can believe what you want to believe, but unless you are grafted onto the Body, you are not living in Christ, regardless of the human ideas you might believe about Him.
well Brendan.. this is their country ( and orthodoxy is a guest religion here and not native to this land) and they
Your opinion doesn't matter, because you don't have control over the word "Christian".
Orthodox say no such thing about non-Orthodox.
Mine matters as much as yours does, by the way, Keble. As stated, it is "my opinion", nothing more, nothing less.
...JWs and Mormons are Christians
Well, my opinion doesn't matter either; what matters is the common usage of the word, and in common usage Protestants and even JWs and Mormons are Christians.
That doesn't mean I cannot criticise doctrinal systems as heretical, but I will not easily condemn simple believers, born and brought up without any knowledge of Orthodoxy. To deny them the title of Christian seems to me to do that.
I can happily however describe many people as Christians who are all united by a sincere desire to follow Christ, who have not positively and explicitly embraced heresy, who shame me by their commitment.

In a trade that shocked the most snark-encrusted NBA observers, the Oklahoma City Thunder shipped its hellaciously talented, hirsute guard James Harden to the Houston Rockets for an assemblage of spare parts. Harden, the reigning sixth-man of the year, made up along with teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the core of the defending Western conference champions. The Oklahoma City Thunder was the only legitimate team standing between the restocked Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA Finals. Perhaps age and chemistry will knock the Lakers aside, but absent that, their greatest threat just waved the white flag before opening day. This electric young team with title hopes just unilaterally disarmed because it claimed to be a poor small-market club unable to meet the contract demands of the 23-year-old star.
Immediately the cry went out across all media, old and new: small-market teams like Oklahoma City just can't compete. As USA Today wrote, "The deal cuts to the heart of the plight of small- and mid-market teams such as the Thunder. Can they return all of their top players? Are they willing to have a payroll that surpasses the luxury tax and are they willing to pay the tax when they go over?"
Thunder management played the part of damaged small market suitor, with General Manager Sam Presti saying, "We wanted to sign James to an extension, but at the end of the day, these situations have to work for all those involved. Our ownership group again showed their commitment to the organization with several significant offers." He also spoke mournfully of their need to have a "sustainable" model for developing the team. As Howard Beck wrote in the New York Times, "A system that forces a small-market wonder to give up a star player—to a team in a much larger market, no less—seems cruel and counterproductive."
This is all nonsense. If we want to understand why the hideous Harden trade took place, we need to understand the politics and priorities of today's NBA. We need to understand that the Thunder are small-market by choice because small-markets can mean big profits. It's a business model, not a tragic geographical handicap.
First, we need to remember how the Thunder came into existence in 2008 because in this case, past has certainly proven to be prologue. In full collusion with David Stern, Clay Bennett bought the Seattle Supersonics in 2006 and moved them to his hometown of Oklahoma City. Stern recruited Bennett, a former member of the NBA's Board of Governors, to make this move. Why would David Stern, the man they call "Money." choose to move a team from the fourteenth-largest television market to the forty-fifth? Why would he move a team to a place with one-twelfth the per capita income? Simply, put, it's because Oklahoma City offered hundreds of millions in corporate welfare and public revenue while Seattle did not. Using Seattle as an object lesson for any other fan base that would dare tell Stern not to feed at the public trough, was a bonus. As Bennett gushed to Stern in a private e-mail, "You are just one of my favorite people on earth." It's a love built on a passion for corporate welfare, a love so great that the NBA chose to think small.
The move to a "small market" has meant the best of both worlds for the swelling pockets of Clay Bennett. It has provided him with a publicly subsidized money-making machine—$35 million in profits last year according to ESPN—while also creating the illusion of scarcity. Pressure to spend can be deflected, as Presti did, onto the need for "sustainability" while prying eyes are dissuaded by anti-trust protections: protections that outrageously exist even with the infusion of public money. The blame then gets deflected onto Harden for not taking less money to stay in Oklahoma City. I have never understood how sportswriters can turn so much bile on players for trying to maximize their incredibly narrow earning windows while owners, who have inherited—or in Bennett's case, married—generational wealth, are exempt from the same criticisms. Last year's Stern engineered lockout, it should now be clear, wasn't about small-market competitive balance but extracting wealth from the players and redistibuting it into the bank accounts of ownership.
While Harden is slammed and Presti cries the tears of the crocodile, Bennett gets to be the Bain Capital of owners: harvesting teams for profits and then throwing away their dried husks when profit margins are under any kind of threat. David Stern will retire in February 2014, but his legacy will be felt for decades to come, and it's a legacy that has cultivated a coterie of owners that put fans and communities last. The Harden trade is just a symptom of the disease.

Rare tropical bird spotted in Austin
The fork-tailed flycatcher, native to Central and South America, was spotted by birder Shelia Hargis Saturday near McKinney Falls State Park during Travis County Audubon's annual Christmas Bird Count.
Texas Parks and Wildlife biologist Mark Klym attributes the bird sighting so far North as a product of a confused migration path.
"The fork-tailed flycatcher usually comes from Argentina to Mexico at this time of year," Klym said. "Every once and a while one of them seems to overfly that northbound migration and end up in Texas."
Females are usually around 12 inches and males are larger at around 15 inches long. Though the bird is around a foot long it only weighs about an ounce making it ideal for gliding through thousands of miles of airspace.
On Monday it was reported there were two fork-tailed flycatchers in the area, yet upon inspection of the image it was determined to be the flycatcher sitting with one of its relatives, the scissor-tailed flycatcher.
"We have so many people coming from all over Texas and the U.S. to see this bird," said park ranger Amber Conrad. "This bird is relatively small, it's like a little cotton ball with some black string hanging off of it for its head and its tail."
Interest in the bird has brought visitors out in droves to the park with high-powered binoculars and professional video and photography equipment to capture the rare traveler. Groups of photographers seem to resemble the paparazzi as they work to get the perfect shot of the rare birds.
"A lot of people think it's funny, and I do to sometimes, that people have this kind of obsession about seeing birds," said Austin birder Chris Layten. "For me, it's getting the chance to be out and to have a more intimate connection with the natural world."
Layten and other birders flocked to the park and the surrounding area upon hearing of the flycatcher sighting. State birders have only documented 25 sightings of the fork-tailed flycatcher in Texas over the past 150 years, making this week's discovery sensational to bird enthusiasts across the nation.
McKinney Falls will have a special program at the Smith Visitor Center at 10 a.m. Dec. 22 showcasing the bird with wildlife viewing from the center's scenic overlook. This program is free and open to the public after park admission.

LAWRENCE, Kans. – Desperate times call for desperate measures. Faced with stopping the high-powered, fast-paced offensive schemes prevalent in the Big 12 Conference, some coaches are resorting to atypical measures.
Dave Campo is a long-time NFL defensive coordinator who had a stint as coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Going into his second season as the defensive coordinator at Kansas, Campo realized it was time for a change.
With a number of junior-college transfers added to help this year's defense, there is more teaching to be done. Also, Campo realized that trying to work with position players (he handles the defensive backs) plus coordinate and execute the game plan was too much.
Linebackers coach Clint Bowen, a co-defensive coordinator at KU from 2006-09, will be more involved in game planning and calling the defense.
"We've made it into more of a community situation, and I think the game dictates that on this level," Campo said. "We felt like we needed to get better in every unit: DBs, linebackers, D-line. And because we're lining up with new guys, we felt like we needed to have more hands-on (coaching) individually with those guys.
"As a pure defensive coordinator, you can't do that. If the only guy making the decisions is the defensive coordinator, he can't go hands-on with a particular unit."
To counter Big 12 offenses that spread the field with four wide receivers and also try to run the ball, Kansas will play a base defense that features five defensive backs. Junior-college transfer Cassius Sendish will be a key player; he can rush the passer, help stop the run but also cover in man and zone schemes.
KU's defense is also working on making quick adjustments play-to-play. The Jayhawks will try to counter opponents who use no huddle attacks by making their defensive calls, as often as possible, without huddling up.
Heading into his second season, Charlie Weis is also making an adjustment. Next week in practice the emphasis will be on defense and the Jayhawks will go up tempo by using two offensive units against one defensive unit. One offensive 11 will run a play while the next offensive group will have a play ready, take the field and snap the ball in between 10 and 15 seconds.
"The whole deal is to practice at such a high tempo but I've never done anything like this before," Weis said. "But that's the nature of the game on offense now. The only way to give the defense a realistic look is try something like this. We think with doing it this way, if we can execute it right with two offensive units, it will help with the tempo of play.
"But when we get started, it could be the Bad News Bears reincarnated. It might look a bit comical until we get it entirely figured out."
The Return Of Darrian Miller
As a freshman in 2011, Darrian Miller rushed for 559 yards and four touchdowns. A "four-star" recruit considered the top player in Missouri as a high school senior, Miller was a high-profile "get" for the staff that preceded Charlie Weis.
But Miller was one of nearly three dozen players that departed in a house cleaning once Weis took over early in 2012. Weis' message: "You need to go get your life straightened out."
Message received and life in order, Miller is back in Lawrence as a redshirt sophomore. He's competing for playing time in a crowded backfield that includes senior James Sims, last year's leading rusher. Miller, however, provides more of a breakaway threat and would appear to be in position to replace Sims in 2014.
"What (Miller) should be anticipating is trying to beat everybody out," Weis said. "He's been there before, right? So if I were him, I wouldn't be content coming in trying to be anyone's backup. I'd be trying to beat them out."
Quick Slants
* Kansas was hoping to bolster its receiving corps with the addition of Nick Harwell, a transfer from Miami (Ohio). He was suspended by Miami after an arrest in March and had been lobbying the school for a chance to complete his undergraduate degree. That would have allowed him to play immediately at KU. That didn't happen so Harwell will sit out this season as a redshirt.
* At 6-5, 295 pounds, Pat Lewandowski is over-sized to be a center. But in the spring, with that position sorely lacking consistent play, the Kansas coaching staff decided to move Lewandowski from tackle to center. Mike Smithburg, who had been working at center, moved back to right guard, a position where he is more comfortable. Aslam Sterling, who weighed 400 pounds a year ago but has slimmed down to 315, has taken over at left tackle for Lewandowski.
* The place kicking job is still up in the air. Michael Mesh, a walk on from Hutchinson Community College, made all five of his attempts Monday but Weis emphasized that consistency will be the main factor. Mesh also has a strong leg, making a 52-yarder in Tuesday morning's practice. Weis said he would be comfortable having a short-range and a long-range kicker.
Junior quarterback Jake Heaps who will be the starting quarterback after sitting out last season after transferring from BYU:
"When you talk about how close we were to winning games last year, it was more of a mentality than it was actually physically. These guys have improved so much as football players and it's just been so much fun to watch. We've improved so much as a football team and we're just going to continue to get better and better."
Kansas junior linebacker Ben Heeney, who led the team in tackles last season:
"In this league you have to have speed above all else," Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney said. "You have to be able to run with these offenses."
Coach Charlie Weis on the depth at running back and last year's leading rusher James Sims:
"With all the running backs we have, he's still clearly No. 1. James could have felt the heat, felt the pressure from the competition. All he's done has competed and played well. He's tough and has good vision."
