Communication samples were collected for 14 consecutive days from 10 subjects who used AAC devices. These samples were analyzed with custom software to determine the frequency of occurrence of one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-word sequences. The results revealed that three-, four-, and five-word sequences occurred very infrequently within and across communication samples. Two-word sequences occurred much more frequently than the longer sequences. The authors concluded that clinicians should continue to encourage linguistically intact clients to select long messages (three words or more) for their AAC devices based on message content and the urgency with which messages need to be delivered rather than relying exclusively on statistical analysis. However, statistically based multiword analysis should not be abandoned. Frequently occurring one- and two-word sequences may be an important source of messages that will increase communication efficiency when stored and retrieved in an AAC device.

text: plums Posted November 28, 2013 I'm trying to find a high-resolution image of Korax's face, ideally of this image: but I'll settle for anything that looks distinctly Korax-like and isn't too far off of Hexen's art style. I'm hoping for 256x256 minimum, ideally more like 1024x1024. There's not a lot of hi-res Hexen stuff out there. I downloaded the Doomsday HRTP for Hexen but most of it is just the regular graphics upscaled, with an ugly texturing filter on them. Can't find anything else... 0 Share this post Link to post

|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
26 Oct 2011
By Ezra Brook
Backblaze, unlimited online data backup service provider, today announced the release of their 2.0 version.
Backblaze has been providing "unlimited storage and unthrottled bandwidth" for just $5 per month. According to a blog post by CEO Gleb Budman, the new version — Backblaze 2.0 — "is a performance release that makes the service more unlimited, faster, and even easier to get all your data safely backed up."
So, what is new in Backblaze version 2.0? The new version has 16 improvements; some of which are the following:
Existing users who want to install the new version can navigate to the company's website and upgrade immediately. Backblaze will automatically upgrade existing customers' to the new version "over the next few weeks". Of course, new users will be downloading the new version effective today.
Backblaze has many great features. One of my favourites is the "Locate My Computer", a free feature service, to find your computer if it is lost or stolen.
In a tech forum today, a visitor asked: "Would I get a knock on the door if I had [backed up] all my TV shows [to Backblaze]"? CEO Gleb Budman answered, "We've got users storing 20+ TB of data with us. An average 1 hour TV show is 300 MB. That means, if you backed up 70,000 hours of TV shows, you still wouldn't be our largest customer".
I am not sure if these power users, with 20 TB of data, are personal or business users, but I wonder how Blackblaze makes any profit with just $5 a month ($50 per year, after $10 discount for a 1 year sign up). Yes, Backblaze has been in business for about 4 years now, and it was almost acquired in August 2010. Perhaps, its lean style of management and development has contributed to its success; for instance, Backblaze has built 135 TB of storage pods, in house, for just under $7,400 – a fraction of what it would cost if bought from traditional storage vendors.
More detailed post here:
I hope Backblaze won't discontinue the unlimited backup service in the future, just as Mozy did earlier this year. However, it looks like that Backblaze is committed to providing unlimited data backup, according to this post: http://blog.backblaze.com/2011/02/03/backblaze-is-committed-to-unlimited-backup/

Expat Twitter Round-Up: 31st... Expat Twitter Round-Up: 7th...
Protecting Yourself Legally While Abroad
As the Amanda Know case was battled out in the courtroom and in the media, the common question was:
If she's innocent, What did she do wrong?
As an expat, it is likely that you are not altogether familiar with the laws and legal system you are living within. Many people aren't entirely familiar with the legal system they are born into. However, this is a vital aspect of leading a happy and safe expat life. From the bizarre investigation and trial of the American Knox in Italy, to much more mundane issues of visas, purchase of property, and the use and transport of drugs, expats and travelers should understand their rights and responsibilities wherever they go.
Basic Steps to Protect Yourself
Research Your Host Country
To follow the laws, you need to know them. Research your host country's laws and regulations. Some countries and cities have complete resources for people moving to the area, and even divisions to help recent immigrants. These resources are often built into the registration process of arriving in a new country.
Also check out the protections offered by your country of citizenship. For example, Americans can refer to US Department of State background notes on countries of the world. In general, if you plan to stay more than two weeks in one place, or if you are in an area experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster, or if you are planning travel to a remote area, it is advisable to register at the Consular Section of the nearest embassy or consulate. Also watch for travel warnings and advisories and proceed with caution when forewarned of possibly dangerous situations.
Aside from official resources, other expats are also an excellent resource, especially for figuring out norms that are not exactly written rules. EasyExpat's forums and networks are great tools for finding expats and locals in your area. You should also research blogs in your area to follow other's experiences.
Follow the Law
This might sound obvious, but when abroad it is more important than ever to follow the local laws. It's your responsibility to know your country of residence's local laws.
Keep in mind:
- If something is illegal in your country of origin, it probably will be illegal in your country of residence.
- Don't think that local laws and authorities do not have jurisdiction over you- they do.
- Minor infractions in your country, may carry severe penalties in other countries
Alcohol & Drug Use Abroad
Alcohol & drug use are common areas of issue for foreigners that have issue with the law. In some parts of the world, drinking alcohol or the use of drugs is highly restricted or illegal. In other parts, enforcement is low or nonexistent. If you partake in alcohol or drugs when abroad, it is your responsibility to understand the laws concerning purchasing, use, distribution, and sale.
Avoiding partaking in illegal drugs is strongly recommended. Every year, thousands of foreigners are jailed - sometimes for life - for drug possession. In some places, it may be the case that police abroad specifically target foreigners. There is little that can be done if you have broken the law.
If you do decide to consume, even within the legal limits, remember that being inebriated in an unfamiliar country could lead to dangerous situations. If you imbibe, do so responsibly.
Possession of Firearms or Antiques
Firearms, even those legally registered within your home country, cannot be brought into a country unless a permit is first obtained from the embassy or a consulate of that country. Firearms must also be registered with foreign authorities on arrival. Failure to do so can result in arrest and serious punishment.
Purchasing antiques in foreign countries can also be a sensitive issue. Make sure to document reproductions, and secure the necessary export permits for authentic pieces.
Behavior Tips
As an expat, you cannot live everyday fearing your surroundings, but there are basic precautions everyone should take into account.
- Always be aware of your surroundings. If areas seem unsafe, avoid them.
- Don't attract unnecessary attention to yourself while in public. In high risk areas, avoid wearing expensive jewelry, electronic equipment, or excess amounts of cash.
- Use caution with alcohol and drugs; they impair your thinking and judgment. If you drink alcohol, be sure that you are with people you trust.
- If you travel independently, notify someone of your destination.
- Keep identification available, such as a passport. Also keep copies of important documents in a safe place.
- Be polite and respect other people's opinions, even if you disagree. Remember that people in your new country may have different values.
In Case of Trouble
If you do get in trouble with the law, it is very important to know how to contact your Consulate. You should register with the closest office upon arriving in a foreign country and they should be updated with your contact details every time you move. In return, you should keep their contact information with you at all times.
If you are arrested, it is mandated under international treaties and customary international law that you have the right to talk to your consul. Consular officers cannot serve as attorneys, give legal advice, or get you out of jail. But the consulate can provide a list of local attorneys, advise you of your rights, ensure that you are held under humane conditions and treated fairly, notify family or friends and deliver request for money or aid. The consulate can help you choose a local attorney to ensure you are receiving all of your rights under the law of your host country.
To find your nearest consulate, consult EasyExpat's City guides and the section on "Consulates".

New Scenario for Operation Babylon - THE OASIS
Posted in August 30th, 2015
Scenario 1: THE OASIS
Operation Babylon has started. Significant engagements between the various forces were deep in the desert. Ensure control of as many oases always is the specific plans.
Army Size: Starter Set / 50 points / 100 points
Game Rules: Dust Tactics 2.0 / Babylon Starter Set rule / Dust Tactics Battlefield
- Setting
• Dust Tactics: Two gaming mats, placed with long edges touching.
• Dust Battlefield: Table size 6' x 4' (180cm x 120cm) for 100 points. A correspondingly smaller table size can be used for smaller-point battles.
Players alternate placing a terrain item onto the battlefield until all terrain items have been placed accordingly:
• Terrain items: Each player places a total of
1 x building tile
6 x pillar or tree tiles
1 x anti-tank trap
1 x ammo crate.
• Desert Area: Players can place a building tile, pillar tiles, anti-tank trap, and ammo crate in this area. The terrain items cannot block openings into buildings.
• Oasis Area: Players can only place tree tiles and ammo crates in this area. The terrain items cannot block openings into buildings.
- Deployment
Each player's force enters the battlefield along their long edge.
- Objectives
Occupy the oasis area (be within the boundary of the oasis area), or destroy all enemy forces.
- Victory conditions
A player successfully occupies the oasis area by having a unit (other than aircraft) within its boundary, at the end of any turn after turn 3. If this victory condition is not met by the end of turn 8, the player who destroyed the most enemy's army points wins. Or all enemy units on the battlefield are eliminated within eight turns!
- Reserves
Each player may place one eliminated infantry unit and one eliminated vehicle in reserve.
- Game Length
The game lasts for 8 turns.
- Special Rule: Ammo replenish
Once per game, an infantry unit on the same square as their bloc's ammo crate (or in base contact of their bloc's ammo crate, in the case of Dust Battlefield), can use the Ammo Replenish special action.
• Roll one die, and on a [Symbol] or [Target], that infantry unit successfully replenishes all limited ammo weapons.

ATLANTA, Ga. – The Great South Athletic Conference (GSAC) announced the postseason award winners in the sport of women's tennis on Friday night. The Scotties of Agnes Scott swept the major tennis prizes in 2015 with Claire Rinaldo claiming Player of the Year, Maddie Hoffman winning Freshman of the Year and T.J. Greggs capturing Coach of the Year honors.
Claire Rinaldo (pictured at right), a senior from Denver, N.C., played every match this season at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles for the Scotties. She was a perfect 3-0 in conference singles matches and dropped just one league match in doubles while accruing a 2-1 record. Overall, the senior posted an impressive 8-3 singles record in 2015 to go along with a winning 6-5 mark in doubles action. Her stellar play led the Scotties to an 8-4 mark, good for the top seed in the 2015 GSAC Women's Tennis Tournament.
Maddie Hoffman, a freshman from Mission Viejo, Calif., put together an outstanding freshman season to help Agnes Scott to the No. 1 seed in GSAC postseason. She played all year from the No. 2 singles and doubles positions and proved to be equally effective in each. Hoffman recorded identical 9-2 marks in singles and doubles for a superb 18-4 overall record on the season. In fact, Hoffman's only defeats in the 2015 campaign came at the hands of nationally ranked opponents Emory and Sewanee.
T.J. Greggs just completed his third season at Agnes Scott, a campaign in which he guided the Scotties to an 8-4 overall record and top seed in the 2015 GSAC Tournament. Greggs came to Agnes Scott with extensive experience. Prior to Agnes Scott, Greggs served as the head men's tennis coach at Kennesaw State University. Greggs began his career at Kennesaw in 2006 as the Director of Tennis Operations where he served as the women's head coach. Greggs played tennis at Westminster College, Pa. While there, he was a two-time All-Keystone/Empire Collegiate College performer.

12-31-05 Minster hands Houston first loss of the year
By Ryan Hines email@example.com
MINSTER -- The Minster boys basketball team has had some devastating losses in the final seconds of games this year, but Wildcats head coach Mike Lee was able to walk off the floor with a smile on his face on Friday after his team squeaked past Houston, 59-55 in a nonleague affair. "We've been in a dogfight here for several weeks and tonight was no different," said Lee. "We couldn't get much separation late in the game but I was proud of our team's composure. We challenged our kids before game because we felt that we let one slip away 48 hours ago (against Parkway losing on a tip-in at the buzzer in overtime) and it was time for us to step up our game a little bit and we beat a very good team tonight. "Going back to our state semifinal game from last year, our last three out of four losses have come with less than a second left on the clock and it was like the tables have to get turned before too long or this old guy is going to croak," pointed out Lee. "Hopefully this win will give us a little push heading into 2006." While Lee was happy to see his team pull out a close victory, Houston head coach John Willoughby was on the other end of the spectrum after watching his team drop its first game of the season in a very physical contest. "I don't want to complain because I did enough of that during the game, but once again we go over to a MAC (Midwest Athletic Conference) school and the calls didn't go our way," said Willoughby. "It's our fault and I don't want to blame anybody, but there were some rebounds that we didn't get because of a little shove or whatever. That's our fault, though, because we weren't sound enough or strong enough to take that blow in the back and still get the ball." Willoughby and Lee had plenty to gripe about in a poorly officiated game on both sides but Minster's defense was the main problem for Houston. After racing out to an 8-0 start to the season, Houston shot a season-low 32 percent (18-of-56) from the field due to a stingy Minster defense. "Minster is a very good defensive team and I think that's what won the game for them," said Willoughby. "We had a tough night shooting the ball and I don't know what the reason was, but we struggled shooting from the perimeter." While Houston struggled with its shooting touch, Minster shot 45 percent (17-of-38) from the field with aggressive drives to the basket which also allowed the home team to stroll to the free-throw line 34 times. Minster made just 22-of-34 from the charity stripe but doubled the attempts from Houston (13-of-17) at the line. "We wanted to stay aggressive and the free-throw stats weren't the greatest, but we seemed to make them when we really needed to," pointed out Lee. "We're not going to out-muscle teams, so we have to find other ways to get the job done by breaking the defense down off the dribble." Andy Beckman paced Minster with a big game on both ends of the floor by scoring a team-high 19 points while also pulling down a game-high 10 rebounds and blocking five shots drawing praise from both coaches. "Andy has been a force for us all year, he's very athletic and his presence is a little intimidating in some spots," said Lee. "He's a heckuva athlete," said Willoughby about Beckman. "He does a good job in the post defensively and he took it to us in the first half, especially (Beckman had 12 first-half points). He could take the ball to the basket and he also has a nice outside-shooting touch." Zac Boeke joined Beckman in double figures with 11 points, including a six-of-six night at the free-throw line for Minster in the second half. Minster's win spoiled big performances from Houston's Matt Mullen and Brandon Hughes. Mullen hit for a game-high 23 points, which included a 10-of-10 performance at the free-throw line while Hughes added 16 points, 14 of which came in the second half after a foul-plagued first 16 minutes of action. Minster took advantage of the foul trouble from Hughes as the home team raced out to a 14-6 lead after the first quarter. Minster closed the first quarter with a 10-1 run as Houston shot just 2-of-17 in the first stanza. Houston chipped away at the Minster lead but was never able to take the lead at any point past the early stages of the first quarter. Minster, now 3-3 on the season, will return to Midwest Athletic Conference action on Friday on the road at Fort Recovery to face the Indians.

Fergal, Belfast
Having been reared when everybody was addicted to nicotine, from the doctor smoking in his consultation to normal practice at the back of buses and planes, 32 years of smoking was stubbed out when I brought in the smoking cessation adviser to our company.
Having a counsellor and, if required, nicotine replacement devices at my disposal provided me with good foundations to assist my willpower, as well as the group setting enabling me to work through any cravings. One day at a time became one week, and now 18 months later I have regained 97% of my lung capacity, have stamina to play with my kids, and diverted nearly £5,000 from cigarette purchases to better uses.
The most striking thing I have noticed is that smoking really stinks you out. I had to divert my trolley to another aisle due to the reek of another shopper in front of me. You, your clothes, car, house and those in your near vicinity all reeked worse than a stale ashtray – it's true.
Yes, I still have my urges, so I spoil myself – even though I have to watch the weight gain as a cigarette no longer substitutes a snack. Do it – a lifestyle change that ticks all the boxes and challenges you. Consider yourself to be a non-smoker – not a quitter. So many people will thank you for it – from the supermarket shopper to the surgeon.
Brian Fegan, (BCC)
Being given the opportunity to quit smoking in work was excellent. Having a dedicated smoking cessation adviser in the workplace, who is ready to give advice and support, was not only helpful, but also a crucial motivating factor in ensuring my success.
Seeing the 'Tar Jar' for the first time was a true eye opener. Seeing the tar first hand, and being told what toxins it contains, was pretty stomach-turning. The carbon monoxide test is also an excellent motivational tool, as it allows you to gauge your progress weekly and shows how much of the toxins eventually leave your body. The help I received was crucial in ensuring my success. The NRT products I received also meant that I didn't have to wait for an appointment at my doctor.
To anyone thinking of quitting smoking, I cannot recommend it enough.
Anonymous DSD employee
Dear Denise and Belfast City Council,
Thanks to Belfast City Council's Workplace Smoking Cessation Programme, I really feel that I have finally managed to kick the habit!!!
I have tried a few times before but this has been my most successful and hopefully last attempt at stopping. Having Denise come into my workplace definitely was a BIG factor in my successful attempt to give up.
Trying to fit in going to see a nurse at my GP's with work would not have worked and I really benefited from getting the one-to-one support and advice from Denise, and the free NRTs, which also definitely helped.
It was very motivating seeing the same person each week and getting positive feedback and encouragement, along with sound common sense and handy hints. As there were a few of us at work who gave up together, it was really good having that sense of being together and we gave each other support and encouragement.
Since giving up, I have joined the gym and am definitely enjoying the benefits (both financial and physical) of giving up. It has not been easy and I still have to work at not picking up a cigarette, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Thanks.
Chesapeake Corporation Ltd
Chesapeake Belfast supports their staff to 'kick the habit'. As part of Chesapeake's Health and Wellbeing Programme, and in partnership with Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, staff were offered support within their workplace to give up smoking. A total of 25 staff enrolled in the programme and 17 people reached the four week stage - a quit rate of 68%. Cancer Focus Stop Smoking Support Service delivered the programme over a period of 12 weeks and offered behavioural support along with nicotine replacement therapy, eg patches, gum, inhalator. Chesapeake supported their staff along the way by releasing them from work to attend their weekly reviews.
Chris Dears, General Manager, commented: "Our partnership with Cancer Focus has been a fantastic success, and their professionalism, knowledge and experience coupled with their flexible approach to meet the needs of our employees working shifts will have a long-lasting impact on the business."
Elaine McNeill, Human Resources, said: "We would like to thank Cancer Focus for their support. The feedback from all employees taking part was extremely positive, with each finding the weekly one-to-ones so important. The advice and support each person received each week in setting realistic yet challenging goals on their personal journey, alongside the encouragement offered and the overall approach of the stop smoking specialists, were key to the success of the programme."
Wendy Watson, employee at Survitec Group, Dunmurry
I haven't had a cigarette for the past seven months. I've been trying to quit for the past three years and after my granddaughter had to have cardiac surgery, I didn't want any trace of smoke around her. Cancer Focus were providing a stop smoking support programme and I signed up along with my friend Heather and other workers. The weekly support was very helpful and seeing my carbon monoxide levels go down kept me motivated.
I am really proud of myself and I don't even think of a cigarette anymore. I look forward to seeing my latest grandchild and I don't have to feel guilty anymore.

John McCain Summary and Analysis
John McCain, Senator from Arizona, felt he was never an outstanding athlete, but enjoyed his experiences nonetheless. John wrestled in school and boxed at the Naval Academy. John's experiences with boxing helped him through his imprisonment in Vietnam, giving him the perseverance to survive. As a senator, John began working to clean up American sports because he felt they had such an impact on people that it was important to keep them pure.
John McCain used his good memories of sports and his love of the games to help him in his career to make a difference for all of sports and its fans. John also learned through sports how to persevere and how to survive, and from that, survived the worst five years of his life when he was held prisoner in Vietnam.

Restore Fiscal Accountability
San Francisco's expenditures outpace its revenues. This is a structural problem that must take into account a number of systemic problems including financial forecasting, better planning with regard to overtime expenses, and pension and healthcare reform to get costs under control.
From a historical perspective, San Francisco has seen phenomenal growth. In the year 2000, San Francisco's budget stood at $4.2 billion. Our current budget now stands at $7.2 billion.
But the dramatic increase in revenues does not tell the whole story. In fact, our city's expenses are slated to grow at an alarmingly fast rate compared to current revenue projections. In the next fiscal year, there is already an anticipated $375 million funding gap.
We must work actively to engage every department and interest group to work toward a plan that aligns our city with stronger longtime solvency.
Cut Wasteful City Spending
Inefficiencies in government are a frustrating reality. City departments should be required to operate within specified parameters that direct all efforts towards meeting certain goals. These goals include how effective the department: 1) fulfills its mission; 2) serves the public; 3) stays within its budget.
In addition, a firsthand evaluation of programs by an independent auditor should be conducted to ascertain the level of efficacy that each program provides. The city ought to be investing in those programs that have a proven record and add value to our social fabric.
There is no room to support programs that don't work, and we should not tolerate it.
Delivering a Fair Share to the West Side
For far too long, the city's resources have been neglected the needs of the west side. This uneven distribution of resources must be recalibrated to take into account the neighborhood needs of our district.
Our community needs attention paid to basic services, like re-paving our roads, installing more street lighting in certain neighborhoods to increase public safety, and fixing MUNI.
As Supervisor, Norman Yee will fight for a more fair so that a more equitable allocation of city resources are dedicated to improving the neighborhoods of District 7.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court has warned
dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar from indulging in
"irresponsible insinuations" on court proceedings relating to
the sensational murders of their daughter Aarushi and domestic
help Hemraj.
A bench of Justices BS Chauhan and JS Khehar had on
March 2 dismissed the couple`s plea for transfer of the trial
of the murder case to Delhi on grounds of hostile atmosphere,
inconvenience besides attributing bias to the special CBI
judge dealing with the case.
The apex court noted that though the Talwars did not
press their charge of bias against the judge, yet inferences
drawn against the court including the Allahabad High Court was
contemptuous as was alleged by the CBI which had opposed the
transfer plea.
"We have no doubt, that the basis on which the
petitioners (Talwars) are seeking transfer of proceedings are
just speculative and unjustified apprehensions based inter
alia on vague and non-specific allegations.
"We also wish to caution the petitioners, from making any
irresponsible insinuations with reference to court
proceedings," the bench in its order observed.
The Talwars had drawn certain inferences against the CBI
judge after he turned down their plea on February 28, 2011,
for exemption from personal appearance in the case.
"Although we could have initiated action against the
petitioners, yet, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of
this case, we refrain ourselves from doing so.
"However, we consider it just and appropriate to warn the
petitioners from any such impertinence in future," the bench
Aarushi, 14, the only daughter of the Talwars, was found
dead at the family`s Noida residence on the intervening night
of May 15-16, 2008. The body of the Talwars` servant Hemraj
was found next day on the terrace.
"The impertinence of the petitioners in the instant case,
is magnified manifold because the order dated 28.2.2011 was
assailed by the petitioners before the high court of
judicature at Allahabad, but the challenge failed.
"In this view of the matter, the insinuations can also be
stated to have been aimed even at the high court," the bench
The Talwars had inferred that they were not likely to
get justice, as the Ghaziabad court was proceeding with the
matter with a pre-determined mind.
The couple suffered a setback on March 2 when the apex
court rejected their plea to shift the trial to Delhi.
The CBI had, opposed the plea, saying there were some
hidden motives behind the filing of the plea and that the
petition for transfer of the trial of the case might have been
filed as Section 438 of the CrPC (relating to anticipatory
bail) is not applicable in Uttar Pradesh.
On January 6, the court had cleared the decks for the
couple`s trial in the murder case by dismissing their plea to
quash criminal proceedings against them.
The investigation in the case was initially carried out
by Uttar Pradesh Police which had arrested Rajesh on May 23,
2008. The probe was handed over to CBI on May 29, 2008, and
Rajesh was granted bail by the Ghaziabad court on July 11,
The CBI, after probing the murder for over two-and-half
years, had filed its closure report in the case in the
Ghaziabad special CBI court, saying it had been unable to find
evidence to prosecute the Talwars.
The Ghaziabad trial court had, however, rejected the
agency`s closure report, saying there was enough prima facie
material in CBI`s report to put the couple on trial and had
issued summons to them.

More on Backman
You'll recall that Dave expressed a pretty low opinion about Wally Backman's fitness to be the new Diamondbacks manager (well, maybe not so much anymore). For those who haven't followed, check out what's happening. Backman's having some issues emerge, and what's maybe more disturbing than the actual incidents is that he's pretty much evading responisiblity entirely… for any of it.
So, there you go.

Next thing you'll know, we'll find out Backman forged his resume, went to fraternity party and was pictured drinking beers with co-eds; and have a stripper using his credit card during a golf outing in Florda.

You guys rank on Melvin too hard. If you think Hargrove is going to fix our problems, you couldn't be more wrong. Even if we land Beltre, I can't see us being better than a .500 team.
I hate Bob Melvin on

Melvin is much better than Backman. And that is coming from me.
PositivePaul on
November 5th, 2004 12:29 am
I don't think that anyone thinks that Hargrove will fix the M's problems. The only one who can is Howard F. Lincoln.
That said, Hargrove would not have lost 99 games with last year's M's team. 85-90, likely, but not 99. He's a major upgrade over Melvin for sure!!!
Adam B. on
November 5th, 2004 9:13 am
I actually like Hargrove better then I would've liked having the overhyped Dusty Baker we were clamering for in '02.
If you think our pitching injuries have been extreme lately, I can't imagine what they'd look like if our starters were going out for 120-130 pitch counts EVERY night.
As for whether or not Hargrove is better then Melvin I guess we won't know til we see a couple years under Mikey.
I'm not entirely sure that this years collapse had much, or anything to do with Melvin, but if he had to be the sacrificial lamb, we obviously could've done worse to replace him. =)

The Extreme Mustang Makeover of last week got me to thinking about the stallion I bought in 1965 as a two year old, untouched, straight out of pasture. Never haltered, never brushed. Mustang trainers often say that the mustangs are easier to train because they come with no human created issues and once they trust a person, they will give their all and that was my experience with Judge. If I were in my thirties now, I'd definitely be in on the whole Mustang thing. The clipping is from 1967.
above: photo, Judge and
Eileen from old movie, winning reining at Aztex Quarter Horse Show
below: newspaper clipping about Ardmore Quarter Horse Show, 1967
Here's the story of Judge Lasan and me, or part of it anyway:
By Eileen Sammons Tidwell
The winter day was cold and windy. I was standing in a large corral with a Speedy Cockrell, a cutting horse trainer, at his place near Fort Worth. We were looking at a group of three two-year-old quarter horse stallions that had been advertised for sale.
Each colt was priced at $200, a reasonable and reachable-for-me sum at the time, which was winter of 1965.
One colt's color really caught my eye, a grulla, or mouse color. But a bay had a better hip. I can't even recall what color the third colt was.
I commented on the bay's hip but his thin neck concerned me. The knowledgeable trainer replied that the neck was going to be a good one, not crested or thick. Nodding in agreement, I told him that I would buy that bay colt. Money changed hands and I drove home to get my trailer.
Once I had my one-horse trailer hooked behind my pickup, I stopped by my local veterinarian's office and told him that I was going after an unbroken, almost untouched colt and asked for a shot of tranquilizer. He complied.
Back at the ranch, the colt was separated and run into a loading chute, where my open trailer waited. The trainer climbed into the chute behind the bay, then forceably ran him into the trailer, and slammed the tailgate.
I waited for all hell to break out. But it didn't. The colt seemed intimidated by his situation and froze like a rock. I drove home without having given him the shot. But I prayed from the time we started to load him until I got home with him.
Once home, I backed the trailer to my horse lot gate, opened it and let the colt slowly find his way backward from the trailer into his new but very limited freedom.
Once all four feet were on solid ground, he snorted, ran to the back fence and stared at me. I knew then that I'd taken on a really big challenge.
I didn't try to touch the colt, whose registered name was Judge Lasan, for days. Instead, bundled in my black and white spotted, hooded car coat, I would put out his feed, then back off to the gate, and sit down inside his pen and just talk to him for hours at a time.
In a few days he was coming over to me, and had decided that I was a curiosity, maybe even a friend, not foe. However, the first time I went to the lot without that spotted coat, he was wary again. But within minutes he recognized me as I spoke softly to him.
Each time he came to me, I would talk quietly to him, whisper to him, and gently blow my breath into his nostrils. I'd learned about that from my grandmother, who was part Indian
The bond between us grew quickly and within days I was able to run my hands over him, down his legs, under his belly, all the while whispering and talking to him.
When he trusted me enough to nicker as I came to his pen, I decided I could start haltering him.
Carrying a rope halter and lead, I entered his space and approached him. He stood quietly. I took the lead rope and rubbed it up and down his neck, over his back and down his legs. He seemed to enjoy it.
Then I went to his other side and repeated the process, always quietly talking to him in a conversational manner.
I turned and walked away a step or two and looked back at him over my shoulder. He was watching me intently, and then he stepped forward. I turned and stood still. So did he.
So I stepped to his shoulder again and rubbed the lead rope on his neck some more. Then I moved it up to his jaw and kept rubbing gently. He was still quietly accepting it all.
With the lead rope lieing over his neck, I reached up and put my hand over as well, and with my left hand, moved the halter up under his jaw so that I could reach it with my right hand on the other side. With it in both hands, I eased it onto his head.
Once I had it on him, I rubbed him some more and left the lead rope over his neck and walked away. I went outside his enclosure to get some feed from my feed room, brought it back and stood there hand feeding him for a little while. Then I took the halter off him, and poured the rest of the grain into his feeder.
Enough for that day. We had come to and through our first big step, I thought to myself.
As the days went by, I worked with Judge, leading him, backing him, asking him to stand with lead rope dangling to ground as I brushed him. He became more and more friendly and actually dependent on me, willingly meeting me at his gate each time I came there.
Finally I decided it was time to introduce him to the saddle.
After brushing him and leading him forward and backing up, I led him to where I had placed my saddle on its blanket on the ground. I gave him time to smell of it; certainly it held the scent of my mare Jiggs, so he could easily recognize 'horse' on it.
I moved the saddle off the blanket with my right hand, holding his lead in my left. Then I picked up the blanket and offered it to him to smell more thoroughly. He did, and he didn't seem at all afraid of it, on the ground or in my hand.
Still holding the lead in my left hand, I started rubbing the blanket on his shoulder. He tilted his head to watch, flicking his left ear toward the action.
Shortly he lowered his head a little, and seemed even more relaxed, so I moved the blanket up his neck and back to his shoulder, then along his side, all the while rubbing him gently with it as I would have used a brush.
He sighed, cocked his left foot and I knew we had the blanket conquered. I went on rubbing him with it, over his back, over his hip, down his legs. Then I walked around in front of him, switched hands, and did the same thing on his right side, ending the rubbing by laying the blanket over his back.
I walked around his front end again and all the while I was doing everything I was talking to him, of course. The more we talk, the more they seem to understand. That's my thought anyway. And everyone will agree that they pick up on repeated words used with certain things, movements, actions and they definitely pick up on tone of voice.
At this point I had never one time raised my voice to this horse. All he knew from me was soft, friendly conversation.
I moved back and forth from one side to the other, adjusting the blanket forward then backward, up and back down again.
No problems, so I rubbed his face and stepped aside to pick up the saddle.
Again I was holding his lead in my left hand, and I held the saddle on both arms, stepped out in front of hims so he could see it. Then I moved to his left side, took the horn in my left hand while still of course holding the lead, and then switched the weight of the saddle to my right hand, holding it by the horn. I had put both stirrups over the seat as well as the cinch, so when I raised it and placed it on his back, there was nothing dangling, nothing to bump him.
He again turned his head enough to see what was going on, flicked that left ear, but didn't move. I steadied the saddle on his back, and kept on talking to him and rubbed my hand and the lead along his neck.
What a good boy! I wouldn't have been surprised it he had jumped out from under that saddle the minute I raised it up to put on hid back. I was elated.
I moved to his right side, still no problems. So I gently let the right stirrup down, careful not to bump him with it, and just as carefully took the cinch and eased it off the saddle and into a hanging position.
When he still wasn't protesting, I pushed the cinch gently against his girth area, and rubbed it back and forth. No reaction.
So I moved to his left side again, and very, very carefully reached under, grasped the cinch, and pulled its free end to me, then I again pressed it against him. I was watching him to be sure that if he jumped in any direction, he wouldn't get me.
But he stood like a statue.
So, since things were going well, I decided to try cinching up. I pulled the latigo free, threaded it through the cinch and eased the cinch up against his girth area again, read to let it go if he reacted.
He did tense somewhat but still stood there. So I did my three wraps of the latigo through the cinch and eased it up until it was tight enough to hold the saddle on if he should start jumping around. I put the cinch tongue through and secured the rigging.
Whew. I'm not sure if he sighed with relief but I certainly did.
I was ready to hang on if he began bucking; sure didn't want him taking off loose from me with a saddle on, even though I had him in a confined area in my back yard.
I let him stand a bit, then tried to lead him. He hesitated, but then took a step. Then he jumped forward about a step, the stirrups bumped him lightly, and he jumped forward another step. I kept leading him and yakking away to him about what a good boy he was and he settled down and walked normally.
I walked him around the area a couple of times, then asked him to trot, which he did. All was good! So I stopped him, loosened the cinch, freed it, and lifted the saddle up and off his back. Placing it on the ground by us, I took the blanket, rubbed him all over with it again, and laid it over the saddle.
Then I brushed him all over again, took him to his lot and turned him loose, went to the barn and got him a small measure of grain as a reward, and that was the end of that day of training.
Tomorrow would be a big step, I would definitely step into the stirrup!
I'm a very cautious person. I don't like to get hurt. That caution was serving me well in these slow steps to gentling this two year old stallion who had never been handled before I got him. And I never forgot that he was a stallion, either. Although he was so quiet and sweet that it would have been easy to do.
Judge was a foundation bred Quarter Horse. The only Thoroughbred blood in him was from early in the 20th century. His pedigree carried the names of King and Leo close up. His sire was an AQHA Champion, a cutting horse named Calhouns Lasan. This breeding accounted in no small measure for his sensible, quiet disposition.
The next day I prepared Judge as I had done, brushing, rubbing, slowly saddling and of course talking, talking, talking.
After leading him around at a walk and trot, I put my hackamore on him and adjusted it. The bosal was relatively flexible, not as stiff as many bosals are. I liked that about it. I was by no means a hackamore expert, but I'd bought this one a few years prior to use on my little mare. It fit Judge just fine.
The reins I had on it were cotton, soft and thick. I placed the right rein over Judge's neck in front of the saddle, walked to his left side, and took slack out of the left rein, placed my hand on his neck, grasping both reins, and put my boot into the left stirrup. Barely into it.
I stood there with right foot on the ground, talking to him. No movement.
So I eased up until I was standing in that stirrup, still with my boot toe barely in it.
No reaction. I petted and rubbed his neck a little with my rein hand. The movement of the reins attacked to the hackamore didn't seem to bother him.
Then I stepped down and out of the stirrup.
I repeated this about half a dozen times until I was sure he was not only fine with it, but bored with it. Then I eased my right leg over, keeping my knee bent, ready to bale off if he protested too much.
He didn't. I straightened the knee and eased the right leg down along the stirrup, all remained quiet. I sat all the way down.
Still nothing. Whew!
I eased out of the saddle again, led him around a little, then went through it all again.
I probably got on and off that horse half a dozen times that day. I didn't ask him to go forward, just to be happy with my weight.
The day after that I went through it all again, but feeling confident now, I put pressure on Judge's sides with my legs. He had no clue what I was asking. So I applied the pressure, but also pulled on his head with my left rein, and put most of my weight in my left stirrup, causing him to step to the side to keep his balance.
I praised the heck out of him. Good boy! Then did it again and again and again until he was moving a step or two any time I squeezed. I didn't care what direction he went as long as he moved forward. A few times he put it in reverse and backed up. When that happened, I gave him slack, but pulled his head around, again causing him to step sideways to balance. He figured out within a little while that going forward was easiest.
From there it was just ride him around the pen (I was doing this in his lot, or corral where he lived) and work on steering him this way and that. I was surprised at how fast he was responding.
For the next week or so, I rode him every day and every day he made progress. Each day he started the lesson where he had stopped the day before. There was no backsliding for this horse.
By the time I'd been working him less than a month I had him trotting circles, stopping, turning.
He wasn't going into reverse in confusion now, so it was time to teach him to back up.
Expecting me to ride him forward, when I stopped him and kept my reins taut while I squeezed with heels and legs, he was confused so he stood like a rock.
I pushed my weight into my right stirrup, kept both reins taught but really pulled back on the right one, tipping his nose toward his shoulder. He finally gave in and stepped back with his right foot to balance himself. I relaxed and let him stand still a few seconds. Then I did it with the left. Back went his left foot. Stand and relax. Right back foot. Stand. Left back foot. Stand … we seesawed like that for a little while, until when I put pressure on his rein and weight in that stirrup, he willingly stepped back. It was only a matter of minutes of doing this until he was backing up with light pressure on the reins.
I live in a rural neighborhood where the homes are on small acreages. At the time I was training Judge, the streets were still dirt and there were many open, grassy areas with no houses.
I was in the routine of riding my mare in the area, crossing acres that had no fences, going along the creek bottom, across the creek and up into the hills above it.
Therefore once I was comfortable with riding Judge in my horse lot, it wasn't a big step to ride him out and down the dirt road.
The first time I took him out I was a little nervous, hoping that nothing popped up to frighten him out from under me. I kept talking to him, rubbing his neck and we just meandered along, taking in what sights there were to see. I rode maybe 2 or 3 city block equivalents, turned and came home, rode him some more on my property, and then quit for the day.
Each day I would warm him up walking and trotting in the yard or horse lot, then go out on the roads, riding further each time.
At this point I had never asked him for a canter.
One afternoon as we headed down the road parallel to the creek bottom, I had enough courage to try it. Squeezing with my legs and leaning forward I urged him into a faster and faster trot until he picked up a lope. Hooray, we'd broken the lope barrier. I cantered him about a quarter of a mile, slowed to a walk and finished my ride.
This horse had never bucked one time. Not one time!
I'd started riding with my cutting trainer friend, Curly Talmage during the 1960s, so it was only natural for me to take Judge to his place to ride.
Curly spoke about Monte Foreman and the great things he had learned from that legendary horseman. He showed me how he could move his horse sideways to open gates and more.
I'd read an article in one of my two horse magazines, either Quarter Horse Journal or Western Horseman, on starting from the ground training for the sidepass, or using leg aids. The article had pictured using a plain wooden dowel from the lumberyard as an extension of the handler's arm/hand. I'd bought a very small diameter dowel for about a quarter and had started using it to apply gentle pressure to my horse in the rib area, releasing when he moved away from it.
Those exercises from the ground, coupled with Curly's demonstrations inspired me to work with Judge daily.
Since Judge was moving away from the dowel when it was in 'spur' position, each direction, I started asking him from in the saddle, using my heel. At the start I had to kick, but within minutes he was moving off my heel, moving his hip away from it.
Then I started asking for front end movement from in the saddle. Holding him steady, facing a fence to stop forward movement, I moved his hip over a step, then kept his hip from moving while asking him to move away from my heel at girth position, all the while holding his head and neck straight using both hands on the reins. He didn't get it immediately, but within minutes he did and we had moved two steps … one step in back, then one in front.
I kept working until he moved several steps in that direction, with me more or less keeping his body straight.
Then we worked on the other side, and again within minutes, we were moving.
Since I had a metal gate with a wire body that swung easily and was relatively lightweight, I used it as my first gate to open and close from horseback. It worked very well, since I could actually pull it into Judge's side and body, reinforcing my leg asking for movement. It wasn't heavy or hard enough to hurt my leg when it pressed on me as well as the horse.
Interesting what we can find to use as 'aids' when training a horse …
Back out at Curly's place doing turnback for him while he worked his horse, I had opportunity to keep reinforcing Judge's lateral movements.
Curly was very encouraging of my efforts, and offered to let me start following a goat around a corral, coaching me on teaching my horse how to maintain a proper position and distance in order to have the goat go where I wanted it to.
It was such fun that I wanted a goat for my own place, so Curly sold me a Spanish nanny heavily pregnant.
That gave me opportunity to work my horse at home, and in addition when the nanny delivered twins, it was fun for me and for my little daughter.
During the same time frame, I was also taking Judge to our local riding club arena. The club had been formed by a group of calf ropers, and in the process of developing the club and its properties, they had built an arena which was set up for not only roping, but rodeos.
My husband was a roper and had trained his buckskin gelding. Up to this time, I'd been roping off the gelding's dam, my buckskin mare. I had done her only training, and she never did get really good in the box. My solution was to turn her rear to the arena and when my calf was released, I wheeled her around and she went to it for me to rope. Unorthodox, but it worked well enough that I was able to have a lot of fun roping with the rest of the fellows.
I'd been taking Judge to the arena all along, so now I started him on roping. We eased into it by spending a lot of time in the box, letting calves out without chasing them. Also trailing, or following the calves as we returned them from the pens at the far end of the arena to the roping chutes.
I dragged my lariat off Judge, swung loops, practiced throwing a loop and stepping off as I stopped him, all at home as well as at the arena.
When I felt like he would follow a calf, I took the plunge and backed him into the box and had the men release a calf for us. I urged Judge out of the box just after the calf released the barrier (a rope across the box in front of my horse). He smoothly sped from the box and with minimal help from me, rated the calf. Most of my attention was on swinging my loop and looking for the right time to throw. That happened about 1/3 of the way down the arena.
My loop settled o ver the calf's head and I pulled Judge up. I wasn't great at jerking the slack out of my rope, but did a fair job, and the looped stayed secure, stopping the calf.
My husband rode to the calf, dismounted and released it, while I kept Judge backed up enough to hold the rope taut.
We did that a few times then I figured I was ready to dismount when I caught one.
I threw, loop settled, calf was caught, so I started down off my horse and he sat down and stopped beautifully.
But before I could get around his front end to grab the rope and go down it to the calf, the calf turned and ran toward us. Seeing me it, turned again to run away, but by then my backing horse had gotten a front leg over the rope.
Judge kept backing, took slack from the rope, all the while with the rope between his front legs.
Other ropers made moves to come to the rescue of what they saw as a wreck in the making, but Judge never panicked, just held the rope while I got to the calf and pulled the loop off it.
"What a lot of sense that horse has!" they were exclaiming.
Truthfully, I had never even thought for a second that we were in jeopardy. Judge had shown nothing but quiet good sense the entire time I'd had him so far.
Some weekends I'd go to Curly's and turn back and try working at cutting a little; some weekends I'd rope.
But whatever I was doing, I was always working with Judge on his reining and handling.
I had an area of deep sand at my house and we worked countless hours on loping circles, narrowing down to spins, sliding stops and more. I'd do the same wherever I took him to ride.
I'd memorized the few patterns the AQHA had for reining in the 1960s. It seemed that most shows used pattern 1 or 2. I figured that if I worked all the elements of those patterns that maybe we could do a reining pattern sometime.
The first time came when Judge was 3 years old. There was a Quarter Horse Show in Fort Worth at a saddle club arena.
I loaded up Judge and went.
When the reining class came up, I saw that there were not many entered, maybe 8 or 10. And all of them were men.
It came my turn to work the pattern and although I was nervous, Judge did well.
When the results were called out I had tied for 5th and 6th place with legendary trainer Pine Johnson. He was gracious enough to tell me to take the 5th ribbon home with me. Naturally a placing like that meant more to me than to him, after all there were no points awarded for it. But to this day I remember how nice he was to a first timer, a woman in a man's sport at that.
Some years later I actually rode with Pine at his place doing some cutting. He and his grandson Keith trained my Appaloosa mare Candy Bar Charge and won cutting in the Appaloosa show at the Fort Worth Stock Show in 1985.
But back to Judge's story.
In 1966 my husband had died, my 10 year old daughter and I lived alone. We were surrounded by friends, many of them saddle club folks, who loved us and encouraged us through those few years we were alone.
My daughter, Danni would often ride her Daddy's buckskin gelding and I'd ride Judge on trail rides and at playdays and other events.
One day we had started out on the horses for a ride, and as was his occasional habit, the buckskin began bucking and threw Danni. She wasn't hurt, but she and I switched horses and she rode my stallion Judge and I rode the gelding the rest of the day. That was typical of the kind of horse Judge Lasan was.
So far I'd done reining, roping and some cutting on Judge. I had started him on barrels and other timed events, too.
By 1968 he was running superb open barrel times and doing a good job in other events. He was a true all-around horse.
At one playday that summer he and my best friend June's gelding tied for first in barrels, with the first 17 second barrel run ever in our playday district.
Again, it was typical of the horse he was.
I bred my buckskin mare to Judge twice. The first foal was a bay, stocking legged, blaze faced filly. The second was a champagne buckskin filly. Both mares turned out to be great horses, total all arounds that I competed on and my daughter competed on. The bay, GoGo Lasan, won AQHA classes in halter, barrels, and rail events. Danni would show her in rail, I'd run speed on her.
GoGo Lasan, bred to another stallion I later owned, Bar Money Charge, produced Miss Go Lasan. Miss Go Lasan, bred to a son of Docs Lynx, Sterlynx Silver, produced the mare I am riding in the 2000s, Lynx Lasan.
The buckskin mare that started it all in 1950 was 'Jiggs', the great grandmother of Lynx Lasan.
Jiggs and Judge were benchmark horses. I have been privileged to keep their blood alive.
The end
Here's the mare line from Jiggs.
Jiggs free loading into truck; GoGo and Danni; Miss Go Lasan and Lynx Lasan

View Washington, DC Eyelid Surgery Before and After Pictures
Dr. Yousefi offers eyelid surgery for patients in Washington, DC, Vienna, Arlington, and surrounding areas of Northern Virginia.
Eyelid surgery, or "blepharoplasty," is a procedure that makes eyes look alert and more rested, and it can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. Many of our patients choose eyelid surgery because its effects are subtle yet effective. Patients look younger, more alert, and more cheerful. The results of blepharoplasty are often permanent although the skin does continue to age. For total eye rejuvenation, patients often combine blepharoplasty with laser skin resurfacing to lighten dark circles and a brow lift to raise eyebrows and smooth the skin on the forehead.
How Is a Blepharoplasty Performed?
The procedure for eyelid surgery includes tiny incisions made in the natural contours around the eyes which should leave no visible scarring. Dr. Yousefi will usually work on the upper eyelids first to remove any fatty tissue and excess skin and tighten loose muscle. Lower eyelids are completed next, to eliminate puffiness and provide a smoother look. Dr. Yousefi offers two techniques for eyelid surgery:
- Both fat and skin from the lower eyelids is removed through a slight incision in the lash line. Fat is removed, and skin is tightened along this incision that follows the lash line.
- Transconjunctival blepharoplasty removes fatty tissue but leaves eyelid skin intact. An incision is made from the inside of the lower eyelid, fat is removed with thin forceps, and no incision is made outside on the skin.
Schedule your eyelid surgery consultation to see which technique is right for you.
What Can I Expect After Eyelid Surgery?
Patients should expect to spend the days following surgery resting and limiting physical activities. Within seven days most eyelid surgery patients are able to return to work, and most swelling and bruising will have subsided in that time. Scars along the incision lines may be pink or red at the beginning, but given time, they will fade and become virtually imperceptible.
How Much Does Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Cost in Washington, DC?
The cost for eyelid surgery depends on the technique used and the severity of your case. At your initial consultation, Dr. Yousefi can discuss all of your pricing and financing options for surgery.
Younger Image Plastic Surgery Center currently works with CareCredit® and Blispay® to provide our patients with convenient financing options. Within a few hours of applying, you can be pre-approved for your cosmetic procedures.

Thunder (difficult to find decent shots of this one) Street Hawk Blue Thunder and the A-Team van It would ROCK. So what other fictional vehicles might work well as TFs? And does anyone with artistic talent want to have a go at bringing some of these ideas to life?

Available Knives
I'm afraid I have had to call a halt to adding names to the waiting list. It has grown to a point where I can no longer estimate how long it will take for someone who joins to receive their knife... My best guess is 6 years +, too long to wait!
I try to make, on average, two knives per week. My main job is running Gubbeen farmhouse products with my family. My hope is that in the future I will be able to reopen the list, I need plan how to do this!
Please get in touch if you have any queries, I'm not quick to reply but I will get there!

Pull up a chair, everybody—Tomar-Re (Geoffrey Rush) is about to tell us a story. In the latest Green Lantern trailer, the alien gives a history lesson on the Lantern Corps, the Guardians of the Universe and their super-exclusive power rings. And even though you can't tell on your computer—the trailer's in 3-D!
Of course, you'll have to head to a theater to see this in 3-D, but it still blows us away.
We think this trailer was created specifically for people who know nothing about the Green Lantern comic. The first half of it is pretty much a bio of how the Lantern Corps came to be and why Hal Jordan's (Ryan Reynolds) a significant character. They also touch on Parallax and the most dangerous color of the rainbow—yellow!
It also looks like Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) is being possessed or having his life force drawn out. In this movie, that guy really goes through it, doesn't he? He has a face only a mother could love.
It's no secret that the power rings can create whatever the Lantern thinks of (usually weapons). But in the trailer we actually see a few vehicles thrown into the mix. An old school car gets driven through a building and a tank is shown shooting off major rounds. We wonder what else those rings will do in this movie?
The Green Lantern opens in theaters everywhere on June 17.
So what do you think of the new trailer?

Be prepared!
Same great sock yarn but the Onesie colors can be wildly different and sometimes not at all what I was expecting. Since they aren't returnable, be forewarned. I love this yarn and I've bought a lot of Onesies. Even if the color is not quite what I was planning, I can always find a project where they work beautifully.85 found this review helpful

Where is his son, Rav Henoch Leibowitz buried?
Not far from his father.
Along the road of the same section.
Please post Rav Henoch.
His father Reb Aryeh Zev was a nephew of the Heiliger Chofetz Chaim. Anyone know what was his name?
