Freddie Freeman homered and drove in three runs, wearing his new glasses, to help the Atlanta Braves recover after blowing a five-run lead and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-7 on Wednesday night.
Freddie Freeman homered and drove in three runs, wearing his new glasses, to help the Atlanta Braves recover after blowing a five-run lead and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-7 on Wednesday night.
Freeman, who had missed four straight starts because of vision problems, was elated about receiving his new sports glasses before the game. He broke out of slump with three hits: his eighth homer in the first, a run-scoring double in the third and run-scoring single in the eighth.
The Braves, who snapped an eight-game losing streak on Tuesday night, gave up a 5-0 lead, then scored three runs in the sixth. Brian McCann's two-run single highlighted the rally.
Jonny Venters (3-2) recorded the last out of the sixth. Craig Kimbrel earned his 15th save.
After Freeman's homer, Tim Hudson and other teammates made circles in front of their eyes, pretending to wear glasses, as they welcomed him to the dugout. Freeman said before the game he didn't care if he looked different in glasses.
"I can see and that's all that matters," he said.
The Braves broke a 5-5 tie with three runs on four hits off Mark Rzepczynski (0-3) in the sixth. Jack Wilson's double drove in Jose Constanza, who reached first on his third hit and moved to second on a wild pitch.
Wilson was caught in a run-down between third and home on Michael Bourn's grounder, but he kept the play going long enough for Bourn to advance to second. Following an intentional walk to Martin Prado, McCann drove in Bourn and Prado with a single for an 8-5 lead.
The Cardinals scored two runs off Eric O'Flaherty in the eighth off Shane Robinson's sacrifice fly and Carlos Beltran's infield single.
The Braves added two runs in the eighth off Jason Motte, who set up the inning with walks to Eric Hinske and Bourn. Dan Uggla drove in one with a sac fly and Freeman finished the scoring by knocking in Bourn.
Atlanta led 5-0 before the Cardinals managed their first hit.
McCann hit a two-run homer in the first. One out later, Freeman cleared the center-field wall off Kyle Lohse.
With two outs in the third and Uggla on first base following his single, Freeman hit a high pop fly into the wind, blowing in from left field.
Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday sprinted toward the infield but couldn't catch up as the wind blew the ball away from the outfield, dropping in shallow left field for a double that scored Uggla.
Constanza added a run-scoring single.
Rafael Furcal led off the fourth with a single for the Cardinals' first hit. Holliday drove in Furcal with a one-out single.
Tyler Green's two-run, bases-loaded single was the big hit in the Cardinals' four-run sixth off Hudson. Holliday and Daniel Descalso also had RBI singles.
Hudson gave up five runs on six hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Lohse allowed five runs on nine hits in five innings.
NOTES: Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said RHP Jaime Garcia returned to St. Louis Tuesday for an MRI on his right elbow early Wednesday. Matheny said the MRI was clear, but Garcia's scheduled start Friday at the Mets will be skipped. Matheny said Garcia, who had right elbow ligament-replacement surgery in 2008, said the elbow "just felt different." ... 3B David Freese, who did not start for the third straight game due to a sore right wrist, popped out as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and remained in the game. ... Each team is off on Thursday. The Braves open a three-game series at Washington on Friday with LHP Mike Minor perhaps pitching to save his spot in the rotation. The Cardinals open a four-game series at the Mets on Friday with RHP Adam Wainwright facing Johan Santana.

The approved disposal of a Sheffield library to a restaurant group has been called in for further scrutiny.
Walkley Library has been run by volunteers from Walkley Carnegie Library Group since last September, after the council relinquished control of 15 facilities to save money.
The library was the only one in the city where two rival business plans submitted, but both sides have united with a new plan of sharing the site as a restaurant or cafe as well as a library.
Sheffield Council leader Julie Dore has now agreed the disposal of the Grade II listed building to Forum Cafe Bars, subject to part being leased back to the council so the volunteers can continue to run the library.
However a Labour colleague has called the decision in for more scrutiny - which means it is likely to go before a committee for debate at the end of this month.
It is more unusual for councillors from the same party, rather than the opposition, to take the step of calling in such a decision.
It is understood that the call in was made by Walkley councillor Ben Curran - also cabinet member for finance - in a bid for more transparency around the process.
Hundreds of people have signed a petition, launched by the Friends of Walkley Library Group, to postpone the sale of the library until the community has the chance to consider alternatives as they do not agree with the historic site falling into private hands.
If the sale to the Forum did go ahead and plans were approved, £500,000 will be spent on rennovating and improving the building. Up to 35 jobs would also be created.
The committee of volunteers has said it believes the partnership is the most 'practical' method of retaining the library.

Living in Uganda
Advice for British people living in Uganda including information on health, education, benefits, residence requirements and more.
This guide sets out essential information for British nationals residing in Uganda including advice on health, education, benefits, residence requirements and more. We are unable to provide any guidance on general lifestyle enquiries apart from the information and links listed below. See our services for British nationals.
Medical standards are different in quality to the UK. All necessary vaccinations must be taken and a yellow fever vaccination card must be provided if one is travelling from a country with risk of yellow fever. Malaria is common and it is advisable to have a malarial prophylactic. You are strongly advised to take out comprehensive medical insurance before travelling to Uganda. There are private medical facilities especially in the capital city, which provide good health care but may be expensive. The government owned hospitals are free but may be overcrowded and sometimes have shortages of basic medicine. There are some British doctors working in private clinics or hospitals, several of which are well equipped.
See our travel advice sections on health, safety and security.
Most schools in Uganda teach in English. English is widely spoken and understood by most people. The majority of international schools are located in the capital, Kampala. Some of these offer the British educational curriculum while others offer the American curriculum. International schools are more expensive. Most primary schools usually start formal teaching from Grade 1 at six years old. Universal free education is only available for Ugandan nationals aged 6 to 16 years.
Employment and Recognised Qualifications
Employment opportunities are available for British nationals. However, you require a valid work permit to work in Uganda. You may also be required to provide a police clearance /disclosure from your home country before receiving a work permit. The Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control handles all work permit applications. Arrangements for applying for work permits should be made prior to entering the country.
Entry and Residence Requirements
British nationals need a visa to enter Uganda. On 1 July 2016, Uganda introduced an 'e-visa' system. You should apply online for an 'e-visa' as far in advance of travel as possible.
Ugandan immigration officers decide how long tourists are permitted to stay in Uganda when they enter the country. This is usually between 2 weeks and 3 months, and the immigration officer will normally enter a handwritten note of this period next to the entry stamp in your passport. You can be fined and/or imprisoned for overstaying your visa. You can apply to extend the period of your stay at your nearest immigration office. Ugandan immigration headquarters is on Jinja Road in Kampala.
For further information about entry requirements, visit the Ugandan Ministry of Internal Affairs website or email them at email@example.com. If you're arriving by road, it's usually easier to get a visa before you travel.
Foreign nationals can apply for Residence status after legally living in Uganda for 10 years. Uganda recognises dual citizenship but one has to apply for it. There are restrictions on children below 18 having dual citizenship.
There is no benefit system in Uganda. British nationals do not get benefits and cannot access UK benefits through Uganda. Please visit the mainstream page for UK benefits and advice on retiring abroad.
Driving Licences and Vehicles
UK driving licences are acceptable for visitors, but for a maximum of 6 months. Anyone intending to stay in the country longer is expected to obtain a Ugandan driving licence. In order to obtain a Ugandan driving licence one must contact the Uganda Revenue Authority website for more details.
Sponsoring Family Members
Family members of a British National need a valid relevant visa to live in Uganda. This is not required if the family members hold Ugandan nationality.
Social Ethics and Traditions
Ugandans are friendly to visitors. English is the official language and is widely spoken. The dress code is sometimes conservative. Remember to be sensitive to the different culture and people around you. Do not engage in behaviour that may cause offence. Homosexuality remains illegal and not tolerated.
Returning to the UK
At the end of your stay you should check that your visa/residence permit is valid or you will be liable to pay a fine to the Immigration Department.
This information is provided as a general guide and is based upon information provided to the High Commission by the relevant local authorities and may be subject to change at any time with little or no notice. The FCO and the British High Commission will not be liable for any inaccuracies in this information. British nationals wishing to obtain any further information must contact the relevant local authority.

In today's day and age, you'd rarely see people with a single job. Sometimes one cannot suffice especially when you are supporting a family. You'd be surprised to know that there are some people who have three jobs at a time and jump from one shift to the other. It's pretty tiring and that's a lot of hard work but it is something that has to be done. After all, we need to live and to do that we need a means to be able to buy our basic necessities. But what if your time does not permit you to take on a part time gig? Or what if you want more time for yourself and your family instead of getting stuck in the office? The answer is through investing your money in real estate assets. To help you do that we have come up with a guideline to winning in investment property in UK.
- Learn about the trade. – Just like any other profession, investing in properties and making profits with them is a career on its own. You can even consider it as business. This makes it important for you to learn about it. You can enroll in a crash course, attend seminars or even read on relevant materials to improve your knowledge and skills.
- Brush up on your locality's market. – Where do you want to invest in? When you've chosen a place or a number of them from where to get your assets, it makes it a must for you to learn about the locality, its characteristics, features as well as pros and cons. All that and more will affect the pricing and demand for your properties.
- Get to know the types of properties available. – Different types are priced differently and will cater to varying customers and clients. You need to know how to strike a deal out of each one.
- Always have your finances in check. – Investments in UK properties will require finances. Remember that this type of business although may be able to provide you with huge and promising returns will need a large capital. Keep up with your expenses and make a budget.
- Grow your portfolio. – Over time you will add up properties in your portfolio. Make it as promising and sterling as could be. If you need help then call on the expertise of professionals for it.
- Know your client base. – Lastly, winning in investment property in UK requires investors to know their client base. You need to know who would want to lease or buy your assets. This way you can best target your marketing efforts to them.

It's two
weeks into the New (secular) Year, and if the statistics are correct, now is
about the time when so many peoples resolutions begin to taper off, become
neglected, or their motivation fizzles.
around late December or so that people begin to look back and wonder what they
did with their time the past year. We may comment to ourselves how were going
to find the time to do what needs to be done in the fresh year, and stop
procrastinating, and use time wisely. Then, in short order, we get back into
our old habits.
So it is with great fascination
that I came across an announcement for the International Year of Astronomy marking the 400th
anniversary of Galileos discovery of the Earth circling the Sun. To mark the
occasion, scientists are now building a new telescope, which they hope will
help us see the dawn of time.
Billions of dollars will be
invested to see the particles of the first atoms of the first nanosecond of
when time began, but down here on Earth time has no relevance to so many
people. The reality is that its only astrophysicists who are interested in
finding time; the rest of us are interested in wasting it.
And time is wasted daily.
Rubbernecking drivers ogle the car accidents on the highway, slowing us all
down to a crawl. Americans on average are watching thirty hours of television
each week, and what do they have to show for it? From the smallest time
wasting, to the biggest, it all adds up to lifes essence squandered.
It is appropriate that a euphemism
for prison is Doing Time. The purpose of jail is to rob one of potential
societal productivity, as a means of punishment. And yet, every day, we rob
ourselves of time so casually, depriving ourselves of our own potential.
Minutes turn to hours that turn to days. Imagine what Terri Schiavo would have
done with an extra day of life. To put it in perspective, if 25 minutes a day
was wasted for a year, that is SIX DAYS of time!
Whats worse than wasting our own
time is intentionally wasting anothers. After all, our time is ours to do what
we wish; but, it is unethical to take what isnt ours. The Bible tells us:
Thou shalt not steal. The most basic understanding is not to withhold or take
something that belongs to someone else. Few realize that stealing also refers to
stealing hearts, stealing time, and stealing trust. Leading someone on is
stealing someones time.
Dennis Prager frequently tells the
story he heard of a woman in a camera store who spent a half hour with a store
clerk asking him about a certain camera. When she was done, she asked the clerk
where she could find that very camera for cheap on the Internet. She not only
wasted the clerks time, but wasted the stores money the salary on that
clerk, and the possible sale, of one who could have bought a camera.
I had written previously on the
value of time; the first entry was on what occurred on a television show, A Shot At Love
with Tila Tequila. On this dating reality show, a woman wasted Tilas
time by deceiving her, and leading her on for weeks, making her believe she was
romantically interested. And then she dumped her.
To be sure, our smaller
indiscretions occur with much more frequency.
How about a person who comes to a
meeting unreasonably and needlessly late? They punish those who arrived when
they were supposed to, wasting their time. Its made even worse when the person
doesnt call to inform others that theyre expecting to be late.
You can tell a lot about anothers
respect for their fellow, and their integrity, if they knowingly, and
willingly, waste anothers time. They may not realize it, but the attitude of
being cavalier of anothers time reveals sheer narcissism and selfishness. It
indicates that someone elses time is less valuable. The person who came on
time to a meeting, for example, did so for the courtesy of the other whereas
the person who was late could not be bothered to show concern for the other.
It often bespeaks poorly of a
persons character, additionally, when they pretend that they did not
inconvenience anyone by being late, and walk into the room without immediately
offering a sincere apology (or a reason) for their having made people wait for
them. It shows little or no care for anothers discomfort. Indifference, as I
have argued many times, can cause one of the worst kinds of hurt.
There is deceit involved when
knowingly stealing anothers time. The other person has the rightful
expectation that the agreement of when to meet will be fulfilled. Why we often
get frustrated when waiting for someone: because they led us to believe they
would make good on their end of the bargain.
We often consume great effort to
get somewhere on time. Were battling traffic, dropping other commitments,
scheduling a person in our calendars, and putting everything aside for them.
When such effort is deliberately not reciprocated, perhaps even scorned by
indifference, this is a representation of how little someone else values your
time and resources. (Naturally, theres a little latitude to be given to people
who on rare occasion come late, or are but a few minutes late.)
We may not think that one or two
minutes lost have any consequence. But that is precisely why so many allow time
to fizzle away. How little care many people have for the relatively
imperceptible minutes that are easily consumed by frivolous activities.
The consequences of lost time are
often only seen after hundreds of small chunks have been misspent, after weve
looked back at the week, month or year, in realization that we allowed time to
get away from us.
Im very careful not to allow those
precious minutes to be frittered away.
For example, I have created
something called the Price Check Revolt. Its the two-minute rule to wait for a
price check to be completed at a supermarket, or the maximum time I will allot
to waiting for a scanning error to be rectified. After two minutes, I will
forego that particular item, no matter how much I may need it, in the interest
of saving my time, and others time in line. It serves as a message to the
supermarket that they can expect to lose business if they do not take my time
seriously. I also let everyone else in line know, as a courtesy, how long I am
willing to wait before I forego that item and move on.
Even if Im open to the idea that
particular day of spending a few minutes extra for my item to be checked, it is
unethical for me to abuse the privilege and so casually use up the time of
others in line. If we are cognizant of how valuable our time is, and how
valuable time is to others, we are less likely to waste time.
Time is our legacy. We can treat
our legacy with nonchalance and disinterest, or endeavour to make ourselves,
and the world, better. If you woke up tomorrow morning and were told you had
one week of time left, what would you do? How would you look at your life
differently, and how might you change things?
The story of Alfred Nobel is a
perfect case in point. The name sounds familiar to most for the awards and
grants given in his memory, the Nobel Prize. Before that, he was famous for
having invented dynamite. A French newspaper in 1888, confusing him for his
brother, mistakenly printed an obituary of Alfred. In it, they condemned him
harshly for his invention, accusing him for being indirectly responsible for
people killing each other with it. Determined to leave a better legacy, its been
said that he was inspired after reading his own obit, to create the global
financial awards for achievement, including in the realm of peacemaking, for
which he donated tens of millions of dollars. If there is anything that Nobel
has taught the world, is that there is, indeed, still time to change things in
our lives. Hopefully, some of us dont require an obit, or a terminal disease,
to learn the lesson.
An obit was printed lately about
Randy Pausch, a Carnegie-Mellon professor, who passed away six months ago of
pancreatic cancer, at age 47. The obit was called, "Prof knew how to make the most of time."
Nine months before his death,
Pausch gave what became known as The Last Lecture, posted on YouTube, viewed by
more than six million people. A few months later, he gave another lecture,
focusing on the importance of taking time seriously. Time, he asserted, was
more important than money, because if youve wasted it, you can never get it
back. To decrease time waste, he suggested minimizing the time one spends on
the phone, to cut out television, and to keep healthy. He also suggested each
month to look back and see whether any growth changes have taken place. Time
is all we have, Pausch said. And you may find one day that you have less than
you think.

Do Boys or Girls Run in the Family?
Although it would seem that a couple with four boys (or four girls) has some condition that makes it more likely that the fifth child will be the same gender, that's not actually the case – In 1979, Rogers and Doughty studied thousands of households to determine whether boys or girls "run" in a family. Their answer was a clear "No" – so, statistically speaking, every child has just about the same chances – there are no 'runs' of any gender.
Will I Have a Boy or a Girl?
If you've recently had a positive pregnancy test, but are not far enough along for an ultrasound, you may be eager to learn your baby's gender, if for nothing else to give you ideas for decorating a nursery. Unfortunately, math can't help you – but technology can. A routine ultrasound scan, as part of prenatal medical care, will give you the most reliable baby gender predictor. You can clearly see the gender of the baby in the second trimester ultrasound in the majority of cases, so your question will be answered soon.

Dan Martin (Garmin-Sharp) believes that there's little pressure on his shoulders as he leads his team into the Tour of Beijing. The race starts this Friday, with a five-stage battle in and around China's capital.
Recently fourth - despite a crash - at the Tour of Lombardy, Martin ranks as a possible contender for the overall title this year with the race holding its first summit finish in its three year history.
"It's the end of the year – my legs are obviously pretty good," Martin said. "You can't get fourth in Lombardy without being good. I'm not as fresh as I could be – that might play against me in a stage race but we'll see."
"After the year I've had, it really is a lot of fun now; there's no pressure on us as a team and especially myself. We've got a strong team here."
Garmin will have to do without the services of Lachlan Morton. The Australian crashed out of Lombardy and is suffering a concussion but Garmin-Sharp have sent an experienced team to the UCI's final WorldTour event of the season.
Tour de France participant Jack Bauer lines up alongside Martin, Nathan Haas, Nick Nuyens, Jacob Rathe, Fabian Wegmann and Steele Von Hoff.
Haas, who finished sixth this year at the Tour de Langkawi will look to support Martin on the climbs and lead out Steele Von Hoff in the sprints.
"I think there's some really good opportunities in a race like this for Steele," Haas said.
"We're a really motivated team in what can be known as an unmotivated time of year for a lot of guys. It's a good opportunity to get some WorldTour points and also for Steele who has come frustratingly close to a few wins this season to hopefully get his confidence back to match with his skill level and ability and to come in hot next year."

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good auction site which doesn't mind this kind of thing. And I know that it probably wasn't a good idea selling it on ebay but I had sold one before with no problems. I'm in Australia by the way. Cheers.

The World Muslimah Foundation, a Muslim women's group, held a beauty contest called Muslimah World exclusively for Muslim women in the Indonesian capital on Wednesday, in response to the Miss World competition currently taking place in Bali. And a Nigerian woman has emerged the winner.
The 20 finalists, who were all required to wear headscarves, put on a glittering show for the final of Muslimah World, strolling up and down a catwalk in elaborately embroidered dresses and stilettos.
But the contestants from six countries were covered from head to foot, and as well as beauty they were judged on how well they recited Koranic verses and their views on Islam in the modern world.
After a show in front of an audience of mainly religious scholars and devout Muslims, a panel of judges picked Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola from Nigeria as the winner.
Upon hearing her name, the 21-year-old knelt down and prayed, then wept as she recited a Koranic verse.
She said it was "thanks to almighty Allah" that she had won the contest. She received 25 million rupiah ($2,200) that's about N350,000 and trips to Mecca and India as prizes.
Ajibola told AFP before the final that the event "was not really about competition".

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"My girlfriend has a yeast infection and took Monistat 1 four days ago. Can she take alcohol? "
She's wondering if alcohol will interfere with the Monistat.
Monistat is a medication that is used for yeast infections, I recommend that she discuss this with a doctor. It is another name for the medication miconazole which is a type of anti fungal medication that is very commonly used for these types of infections. Monistat is usually used vaginally which means that the medication does not get absorbed into the body to a great extent. For this reason, drinking alcohol will probably not interfere with this medication. There are other types of medications that are very similar to miconazole that are taken by mouth. These medications can interact with alcohol and should never be taken with alcohol unless you are talk to your doctor because of the risk of liver damage. Of note, the medication Flagyl which is also often used for vaginal infections should not be taken with alcohol because it causes significant reaction and can make a person feel very sick. Whenever you or your girlfriend are prescribed a new medication, it is always a good idea to ask your doctor what to do's and don'ts are while you were on the medication. For this, I would suggest that she schedule an appointment with her primary care physician. This way they can discuss what medications she is on and what the risks are with drinking alcohol while on them. Good luck.

Baseline UT measurements for armor inspectionCenter for Nondestructive Evaluation Conference Papers, Posters and Presentations

AbstractSome prototype armor panels are fabricated from several layers of dissimilar material bonded together. These may include ceramics, graphite composites, fiberglass composites and rubber. The ultrasonic properties of these layers influence inspections for armor defects. In this paper we describe measurements of ultrasonic velocity, attenuation, sound beam distortion and signal fluctuations for the individual layers comprising one armor prototype. We then discuss how knowledge of these properties can be used when choosing an optimum frequency for an ultrasonic pitch∕catch immersion inspection. In our case an effective inspection frequency near 1.5 MHz affords: (1) adequate strength of through‐transmitted signals in unflawed armor; (2) adequate lateral resolution for detecting small disbonds at interfaces; and (3) low levels of UT signal fluctuations due to the natural inhomogeneity of certain armor layers. The utility of this approach is demonstrated using armor panels containing artificial disbonds at selected interfaces.

Color Affection had a day out! And got me to thinking about what else I could knit with Malabrigo lace …
How did I miss May?
Anyone happen to know where May went? One minute, it's all finals and graduation parties; the next, it's … well, June. And the unshakeable feeling that summer is already over …
It happens every time.
At least knitting is going according to plan. This is Veera's lovely Color Affection shawl in three shades of malabrigo lace: natural, polar morn, and apple green. So far, it's fluffy soft and light as a feather … though a bit tangly, keeping all those fuzzy strands in order.
The rows have gotten long, but that's okay. It's summertime in Nashville, so there's no hurry … though I have to say, my giant Leaves of Grass is an ideal café companion: it's basically a blanket, perfect for wrapping up against overzealous air-conditioning.
Then there's Alice … enjoying some mint chocolate chip. Weirdo.
Hey world, here I am!
Did anyone else read that book growing up? It was one of my favorites in sixth grade. I either wanted to be Kate Bloomfield or have her as my best friend … and it holds up quite well, I'd say. Or at least it did, the last time I was at home and read it again.
So, hey. Here I am. Things are hectic. I'm applying for jobs. Real jobs, that require a PhD. That's scary stuff.
I miss my knitting time. I miss you guys.
So here I am, taking Philippa's advice and knitting some log cabin blankets for all the babies arriving later this fall. It's very satisfying, meditative — and squishy — knitting. The Noro makes it exciting.
And babies need things made with love.
Just the ticket for my rather frazzled self. Which is precisely my feeling about the Alison Krauss station on Pandora. Why did I not discover Pandora until yesterday afternoon? Why are Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn and Gillian Welch so good?
Sigh. Questions for the ages.
Right up there with why is Noro so pretty.
garter love
This is how much knitting I accomplished this weekend. Not even out of the bag. To be fair, I was at a wedding in Virginia where it was approximately one billion degrees Fahrenheit. Then there was all that driving. Let's just say I wouldn't recommend undertaking an 11-hour drive in one day, then repeating the whole journey a day later in reverse. The good news: my first trip to a Cracker Barrel! And, you know, I got to take part in a friend's very happy day.
Considering the trip, I guess it's not surprise that when I got back home I was in the mood for an old friend and some garter stitch.
My love for this yarn is well documented, so I won't go into raptures again. I think it always wanted to be garter stitch; I just had to stop and listen. So far, I'm in love. Sweet, woolly love.
When I'm not freaking out about my dissertation, that is. I really hate freaking out about my dissertation — it's so predictable and unhelpful — but I'm having a hard time getting my schedule established and feeling productive. Which leads to a lot of garter stitch.
Sigh. Garter stitch is the best. This is going to become my outlandish woolly cape of fortitude and determination come fall …
plugging, knitting away
Well, what do we have here? That's right: I've finally made it to the border of my latest stripe study. Phew. Unlike different lines, I had just enough yarn to get through the recommended number of stripes — I guess knitting lace-weight yarn on size US8/5.0mm vs. US9/5.5mm really doesn make a difference — though it does seem like I have tons of frank ochre left for a nice, wide border. Sure, the knitting is a bit tedious, but I'm okay with that. And I can't wait to have a new super-light, super-soft shawl for fall.
Besides, it gives me time to think about all of the baby knits I need to get on the needles: there's (at last count) one fall baby and one winter baby that will need something woolly. That's one thing I didn't consider when I took up knitting, but geez, I got close to 30 (or now above) … and boom! baby town for all of my friends. It's great and I'm happy because they're so happy, but … man, I'm just glad I have a reasonably large and varied stash. Right now, I'm thinking some kind of vest-y easy-on, easy-off situtation: Pebble, maybe (which I think I first saw on the Rooster's blog in some very lovely handspun.) or else I'll just stick with my standby: the EZ February baby sweater. It's a no-fail, always cute, and pretty straightforward.
(Apologies for the crap picture and weird light. This was the best of a bad lot.)
In other news, here's where Alice has been spending all of her time. Ah, sunshine — a kitty's best friend.
winners! and more stripes!
First off: winners! Congrats to April and Noas' Libellule! Though the competition was not at all stiff, I hope you both enjoy the CD! And the crazy sweater blueprint that seems to be included. I've sent an email so we can figure out address details.
In less exciting news, I've been slowly but surely working my way through another stripey project. As you might notice (or I might have already mentioned), I totally swiped the color scheme from weaverknits' yellow on yellow scarf. The lemony yellow (= sauterne) works so well with the kinda avocadoy yellow (= frank ochre) and the Malabrigo is fabulously soft as always.
Now that the rows are getting longer, progress is slowing down … in fact, I might have picked up a long-forgotten half-finished basic stockinette sock the other night. I'd forgotten just how satisfying the almost instant gratification of the basic sock can be — perhaps I should get back to working on filling my drawer for winter? Besides, socks make the best gifts.
Socks aren't the only new project around here: just last week I picked up a fancy new computer with a really big screen. It is perhaps my most awesome acquisition in quite a while. So big. So shiny. It required some desk reorganization and I still don't have everything set up, but so far — I am thrilled. Now, if only it would write my dissertation for me.
I also picked up a drying rack at Target. So it's been all big news all the time lately.
And now it's time to get the day started. Happy Friday! (Wait, how did that happen again? Sheesh. Summer sure does fly right on by.)
finish line!
So this blog and I are starting to feel like ships that pass in the night. I'm going to work on fixing that over the course of the summer.
The good news: I haven't quit knitting! See the evidence above: a very large, very finished Different Lines shawl/scarf (scharf, if you will). I was determined to use up as much of the Malabrigo lace as possible, which meant I added a couple of stipes and more contrast border. It is gigantic, just the way I like it. And so airy and light.
It kind of reminds me of Buster and Lucille II: "I know she's a brown area, with points, and I love her."
My sister and her boyfriend were just here in Nashville visiting and we did the town: Country Music Hall of Fame, Hatch Show Print, hot chicken, honky tonkin', brewery tour, and all kinds of highjinx. We also spent a lot of time just hanging out and crafting. (The boyfriend's craft happened to be playing Angry Birds, but, well … there was lots of crafting while he played.)
I love seeing my sister because we always have so much fun together. This time was no exception — and we both ended up much farther along with our respective fiber projects (she crochets). Pretty win-win.
Needless to say, I can't wait for fall to wear this. It drapes in a very natural, practical way that I think will mean this shawl might become a favorite. The colors are awesome — I'm glad I went with the super soft yarn in the super vibrant colors.
And now after an early summer of adventure, hometown fun, and meeting up with some great knitters, it's time to get down to work. Hello, dissertation.
Happy 4th to those celebrating or just enjoying the holiday weekend!
Well, hello there. Two in a row. Don't get used to it, that's all I've got to say.
Last week, before the cold set in, I had the chance to celebrate Friday with a lovely walk along the South Bank in the sunshine with the GreenPea. She was a fabulous guide to a part of town I most likely wouldn't have visited otherwise: pointing out all the interesting sights across bridges, museums, and the throngs of people out enjoying the weather with us. We finished up with elderflower cordials (also new to me and very yummy) at a cozy bar with flocked wall paper and cushy seats. It was a wonderful afternoon out. Thanks, Pea!
As you see, despite the afternoons out and about and the cold, I finally managed to photograph a little knitting progress. As you might also see, conditions were not ideal: it was later in the evening, light was fading, and this apartment — though safe, quiet, convenient, and comfy — has a pronounced lack of blue IKEA tables. So I went with dim light and a white background.
The photos are decidedly blurry.
But sweet relief! I'm almost there … or very, very close to almost there. What you see is stripe number 14 in progress. The rows are long and knitting back across the wrap and turn is — I won't lie — a little tedious at this point. But I'm close enough to the end that I'm hanging on.
And it does indeed look like I'll have enough yarn for maybe one or two more stripes. Maybe? I went with Malabrigo lace (not sock), but on US9 needles — it's making a really lovely open fabric that is super light and so, so soft. I kind of want to only use Malabrigo lace for every project from now on forever. Or something like that. I can certainly see on or two of those wispy, breezy, lacey cardigans in my future.
Finally– greetings from London! It's a bit early here and I'm not quite ready to go, but papers (and letters and documents, oh my!) await! The library is very swanky, very centrally located, and has pretty comfy chairs. Their scanner is amazing. I haven't ruined anything yet, which is always my fear when working with old stuff.
London is wonderful, though I have seen very very little of it. Though I do feel master of the few blocks I wander with regularity.
As for knitting, there hasn't been much to see. Just a few more stripes …
I try to fit in a row here and there, at lunch or whenever. Makes for slow progress.
Part of last week's wandering brought me to a very packed used book store where I found some very pretty books. I didn't realize I had an interest in gardening (or reading about gardening), but one never knows …

"If it's snowing in Dallas, and it's going to be far below freezing there, why isn't it coming to the Carolinas?"
I've gotten a version of that question several times over the past 24 hours, and it's understandable that people might wonder how the big storm moving across the country will miss us.
First of all, it won't miss us.
A steady and fairly heavy rain will move into the Charlotte area sometime this evening, and it probably will be accompanied by some thunder in the overnight hours. Temperatures, which will remain in the upper 30s and low 40s much of the day, will climb into the upper 40s and lower 50s late tonight and early Wednesday.
And winds will increase later tonight. Even on Wednesday, when the sun breaks out by midday, we could be experiencing wind gusts of 40 mph. Those gusts will be part of the circulation around the strong low pressure system.
So we will get some impact from the storm.
But why not the frozen part?
(To those of you who follow weather closely, allow me to get un-scientific for a moment.)
Imagine the jet stream as a letter "U." For much of the past two months, the left side of the "U" has stretched from the upper Midwest down across Tennessee and Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. The right side of the "U" came up the East Coast. Here in the Carolinas, we were stuck inside the "U," near the bottom of it.
That "U" was the track that carried arctic air into the eastern United States. Occasionally, storm systems followed all or part of that track. They would cross Florida and then go up the East Coast.
But the jet stream has changed, at least temporarily. Now the really cold air is coming down across Colorado and New Mexico, into Texas. And the right side of the jet stream juts northeast, at something resembling a 45-degree angle. It crosses Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia, northern Maryland, and the New Jersey-Delaware area.
The center of the current strong storm system is following that track.
Areas several hundred miles north of the center are getting very heavy snow. Areas on the north side, but closer to the center, are getting sleet and freezing rain.
And places south of the center are escaping this time. That includes much of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, most of Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. We're sitting this one out. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are possible from Louisiana to Alabama today, but wintry precipitation will not be a factor.
However, anyone planning to travel into the storm area from Charlotte can forget about it. Cities in that zone include Dallas, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and Boston. Washington will have a close call with icing problems.
Conditions will be at their worst today from Dallas to St. Louis and Kansas City; Wednesday from Chicago to Pittsburgh; and Thursday on the East Coast.

This is typical winter NC pattern, with major storm "front-side" rain followed by cool (but not nearly as cold as areas to the west at nearly the same latitude)temps. Then southerly winds warm it enough for the next rain (generally several degrees toowarm for snow/ice, but cool enough to inflate heating bills. Last months' snows were a fluke pattern.
Welcome to our winter garbage.

This is one of the reason why travel insurance is very important thing when you cross a place where calamities may happen. This would be your hassle resistance from unwanted and unexpected things on your travel.

Even with the recent excitement generated by the US team's dominance in the Women's
World Cup, soccer still isn't that large of a phenomenon in the States. American
soccer fans may not be able to get Monday Night Soccer anytime soon, but they
can at least get EA Sport's FIFA series – easily the best line of soccer games
to hit both consoles and the PC. The latest of EA's soccer simulators, FIFA 2000,
proves that the highly acclaimed FIFA line is still the best soccer series out
There's more significance in the name FIFA 2000 than just the year. FIFA 2000
is truly the soccer game of a new millenium, and it has huge improvements over
FIFA 99. The most obvious improvement is the addition of the 12 MLS teams to
the already large roster of countless other leagues. Now fans of American soccer
can pit their favorite US teams against each other, or even against the superior
world teams. FIFA 2000 also introduces a few important gameplay additions that
provide so much added depth to the game you'll wonder how you ever got through
FIFA 99 without them. Mirroring popular football and baseball games on the market
today, FIFA 2000 introduces icon passing from penalty locations. This makes
it much easier to assist would-be strikers from the corners – with a button
press you can guide a corner kick directly to your man inside the box, who is
waiting to head the ball home. Another feature you'll learn to love is the pass-reliability
rating – a small colored arrow in the pass direction that changes color depending
on how well defended the pass recipient is. On defense, you can control your
team's aggressiveness and formation on the fly, even so far as to make all your
defenders leave their man and run at the ball at the touch of a button. With
another touch of the button, they'll quickly return to the default strategy.
All these additions are both well implemented and simple to use, enhancing the
gameplay instead of overly complicating it.
The basic modes you expect from the FIFA series are still intact. There's an
exhibition, tournament, season, and practice mode. There's also the create-a-player
mode, and you can even customize the teams to your preferences. You get to choose
from tons of options, including three skill levels. You decide on the weather,
the arenas, the camera angle, and more. There's a pretty big jump between skill
levels; indeed, the amateur level – which the game defaults to – is a little
too easy for regular FIFA players, while the professional level – the next in
line – is almost a slap in the face to those used to scoring eight or nine goals
a game. All of this resides behind a useful interface, that admittedly, takes
some time to get used to.
The exhibition mode is simple enough – pick your teams, your stadium, the weather,
and other options, and then go for it. The season mode is a little more complex.
Once you pick your team, you can trade players, create custom players, play
around with your formations, and substitute your line around, all the while
playing against different teams as you progress on your way to the World Cup.
The tournament mode lets you set up a single elimination tournament. You can
create your own cup as the prize for the tournament mode or use one of the default
cups. The practice mode lets you select different practice scenarios to hone
the weak points in your game.The graphics are probably the most notable difference
from last year's game. FIFA 2000 has gotten a stunning graphical facelift, and
it looks absolutely fabulous. All the player animation has been motion captured,
meaning that everything the characters do – from sprinting to tackling to bicycle
kicks – looks amazingly realistic. That, combined with much better textures,
accurate facial models, and variously sized players make this the best-looking
soccer game on the PlayStation. I haven't noticed any polygonal breakup or overlap
– the graphics look that nice.
The FIFA series has always been known for its cool soundtrack, from FIFA 99's
Fatboy Slim-composed theme song Rockafeller Skank to FIFA 98's Song 2, performed
by Blur. This year the game has got more big names like Robbie Williams, who
performed an entirely original song for the soundtrack, to other favorites like
Reel Big Fish, and Apollo Four Forty, whose music pumps over the game's menu
screens. In the game, however, the audio department is handed off to ESPN commentator
Phil Schoen and Women's World Cup star Julie Foudy, who help call the action.
While Schoen and Foudy are both competent, neither is as exciting as the English
superstar soccer commentator and long-running FIFA veteran John Motson, who
is nowhere to be found in FIFA 2000, even though he's mentioned in the credits.
Foudy is especially irritating, with a sugary, almost prepubescent voice that
doesn't complement her cracks about player injuries and difficult saves. Otherwise,
the sound effects are simply incredible, with an extremely realistic crowd-reaction
system that accurately represents how fans would audibly react to the current
It's almost as if FIFA 2000 were EA Sport's attempt to Americanize soccer.
Banking on the success of the US Women's World Cup Team by including Foudy,
replacing favorite Motson with American commentator Schoen, and introducing
the MLS teams, FIFA 2000 is the most US-friendly version of FIFA to hit shelves.
This gives FIFA 2000 an entirely different feel than previous versions of the
series, but it still delivers everything you've come to expect from FIFA. FIFA
2000 is more than just better than last year's game, it is easily the best soccer
game ever to grace the PlayStation.

text: I'm a noobie startup guy. I know this is kind of outside the BlackHat world but I was hoping to get some advice on generating legitimate traffic for a legitimate web startup. I'm building a city guide and trying to drive initial traffic. This is a service similar to TimeOut magazine except with more content so it needs to focus down to city level: SF, NYC, Miami, Toronto, Austin, London etc. I followed a thread and hoped to use the free intro fb credits with prepaid CCs to get a following of likes on targeted pages. In other words, use the usual $50 of free FB ad credits to get users to like a very targeted activity like "Rock Climbing" then syndicate out targeted posts from there. However, I can't find any free FB credits anymore. Does anyone have any other ideas on seeding REAL traffic for my startup?

THE Rugby Football League have launched a brilliant video promoting tomorrow's Ladbrokes Four Nations final but, given the situations of some the protagonists involved, it really should be labelled as a public broadcast service message instead.
Calling all rugby league fans, it would echo, you truly need to be at Anfield, home of Liverpool FC but, for 80 minutes tomorrow, host to some of the 13-man game's living legends for one last time on these shores.
When Australia play New Zealand for the title, England's hopes having been extinguished following a familiarly clinical Kangaroos display on Sunday, it will be the final occasion for some utterly brilliant players to showcase their skills here.
Cameron Smith, the Kangaroos captain, for instance, is unlikely to be back, in the famous 'Green and Gold' at least.
The Melbourne Storm hooker is approaching his 34th birthday and his swansong will likely be the 2017 World Cup on home soil next autumn. Club, State of Origin and international colleague Cooper Cronk, who turns 33 next month, is probably in the same situation.
However, another – and the one all genuine sports fans should really go embrace – is Johnathan Thurston.
The stellar stand-off remains the only player to win the prestigious Golden Boot as the world's greatest player on three separate occasions.
He has a habit of treating the English public to his best; Thurston was man-of-the-match in the 2009 and 2011 Four Nations final wins at Elland Road, the 2013 World Cup victory at Old Trafford and, for North Queensland Cowboys, in their World Club Challenge glory against Leeds Rhinos at Headingley in February.
Undoubtedly, the head-guarded 33-year-old is a man for such occasions – it was telling that he missed the last Four Nations final two years ago when the Kangaroos surprisingly fell to the Kiwis – and most people will expect him to dictate tomorrow.
Furthermore, the affable Thurston admits he will be sad to say 'goodbye' to stepping out at places like Headingley, where Super League champions Leeds were unpicked, and other great stadiums here.
"I really enjoy it," he said, when asked about his bond with the English fans. "I've a lot of good memories playing at grounds here. I remember at the World Club Challenge running up into the stand and celebrating with the fans.
"Winning a World Cup final at Old Trafford is right up there with one of my highest achievements, and, hopefully, it can go to plan again on Sunday.
"I don't think I'll be back again so, for me, it's about enjoying the moment, being around the team and making sure we create a lot of good memories.
"We've been able to do that so far and we've one big game left. Although the Kiwis might have limped into the final, all you need is a little luck and that's what they've got at the moment. They know how to win big games as well, so they'll be very confident."
Thurston knows that only too well; he is one one of three survivors – Smith and Greg Inglis are the others – from the 2008 World Cup final in home-town Brisbane when New Zealand shocked Australia.
But he is desperate to ensure there is no repeat tomorrow as he ends his final tour as a Kangaroo.
"I'm the eldest in the team now," he said, when asked about the differences since first travelling across the world for his country in 2009. "I've really enjoyed this tour. No disrespect to the coaching teams and players of the past, but this is probably the closest Australian team I've been a part of.
"That's got a lot to do with Mal (Meninga) as head coach, and working towards one common goal. It's a great bunch of boys and we have a lot of fun, but when it's time to work, we work."
But how do England – still waiting for a major tournament success since Great Britain lifted the 1972 World Cup – finally discover some alchemy themselves?
They trailed the Kangaroos just 10-6 at half-time last week before losing in familiar style, 36-18, to exit the competition.
Thurston, who goes up against the maverick Shaun Johnson again tomorrow, said: "We've a fairly experienced team that are real clinical at putting games away when it's there to be won.
"That's where England have struggled. They had a perfect opportunity against the Kiwis (17-16 loss) to put some heat on them with good field position, and being able to kick a field goal.
"But for whatever reason, they went away from that. Our team has a lot of cool heads and experience of knowing how to get out of hot water if needs be, but also how to win games.
"They lacked a bit of polish with their last tackle options against us. Our boys handled everything extremely well – considering we knew we were already in the final."

It has been a very busy month. We are in the process of packaging our complete investigation and research of the Wilbert Coffin case for presentation to AIDWYC for the CCRG.
As I look it over on a daily basis, I am impressed with what we able to accomplish, thanks to a good healthy cross section of folks out there, determined as we were to get this case straight once and for all. It is particularly rewarding considering that we were able to pull it off with no budget, and no staff, just sheer determination on the part of Lani Mitchell and myself.
I am impressed further as I learn of the respect that national and international media is pointing in my direction with reference to this case. Obviously my investigation and research for the past three years has caused folks to sit up and take notice. Precisely, that was one of my objectives. Folks are tired of reading the same old rhetoric, sensationalised to the outer limits on this case.
There are possibly no less than fifty versions of the same story floating around out there. That was my reason for reading nothing about this case prior to commencement of my work. It was started fresh, and continued in that fashion, with each element properly documented. I couldn't care less what someone else had written or were planning to write in the future. Mine would always continue to be what it started out as, a clear factual portrayal of the elements of this case, not tied together with hearsay coupled with hypothetical theories. In simplistic terms, if it could not be backed up by a document or personal interview or a combination of both, then it did not get published on this site.
The above statements may sound like I am bragging. Perhaps I am. However, I stand by my work in this matter. The truth always finds a way to work it's way to the top. The only thing that defends truth, is truth itself. It was not difficult to understand that my investigation was making a mark. I say that because information was routinely stolen from my site and published elsewhere. That statement was easily proven because as you may know, I set up a sting operation and caught the perpetrator red handed.

That statement was easily proven because as you may know, I set up a sting operation and caught the perpetrator red handed.
Several media outlets across the country have expressed an interest in the Coffin affair as a result of my investigation and writing of this black mark on the history of Canada. I know this because of invitations extended to myself to appear as guest to talk about this event. I am presently co-ordinating several such invitations which will take place within the next few weeks.
In the earlier stages of my investigation I was given the opportunity to discuss at length my involvement with the Wilbert Coffin case. That particular interview was conducted by popular Canadian news talk show host, Tom Young.
In case you are not aware, Mr. Young has been a prominent news broadcaster for many years, and is aware and understands the stories and events that have shaped our horizons. Throughout the week Tom broadcasts to a large audience as his program from the studio in Saint John, New Brunswick is carried live on local FM radio at 88.9, and live on many areas by way of cable. Additionally, the program is available world wide on the internet.
At the conclusion of my prior interview, Tom requested that I keep in touch. I extend my thanks to Tom and his producer, Tyler McLean, for granting me the opportunity to come back on the show and bring everyone up to date. As I mentioned, media attention on this case is increasing. Considering the attention previously by Tom Young and his "Afternoon News," I thought it pertinent this time around to extend the opportunity firstly in this direction.
I invite you to listen to the upcoming broadcast which will take place this coming Friday, December o4, 2009. To determine the time in your local area of Canada, please check the appropriate time zone at the conclusion of this report. I am safe to say that it is available in your area no matter where you reside on planet Earth. Locally of course in the New Brunswick area it is available at 88.9 on your FM radio dial as well as well as being broadcast on the Rogers cable TV system. If neither of those options work for you simply click on the the internet address shown below and that will take you directly to the radio station. When the radio station page opens, simply click on the "Listen Live" tab at the top right of the radio station page and it will automatically take you live to the show. Here is the address,
As we are dealing with six time zones, the following represents the time of broadcast.
Atlantic Standard Time 2:30 PM.
Eastern Standard Time 1:30 PM.
NFLD Standard Time 3:00 PM.
Central Standard Time 12:30 PM.
Mountain STD Time 11:30 AM.
Pacific Std Time 10:30 AM.

Nicholas Williams – Work Ethic Scholarship Winner is Engineering a Great Future
Nicholas Williams likes video games. Always has. When he was 6 years old he played Crash Bandicoot on PlayStation 1 for the first time and he was captivated. When he got a little older, his interests varied a bit. He liked to play laser tag, basketball, paintball and, of course – video games. None of these endeavors had any sort of vocational trajectory, but to be honest Nick hadn't given much thought to a career until middle school when the cable guy came to his house. Nick observed the man quickly and efficiently install a new receiver. It was fascinating. The guy was done and out the door in minutes. Nick watched him climb into his van and head off to the next house. He thought, "Maybe I can do this one day."
From that day on, it was a given that Nick would become a cable guy – someday. That started to change his junior year at Huguenot High School in Richmond, Virginia. That's when Nick heard about the Mayor's Youth Academy at ECPI University – Richmond. The Mayor's Youth Academy is a summer long internship designed to prepare kids to be job ready, providing them with mentoring and exposing them to entrepreneurship. According to their website, their goal is to "develop Richmond's future workforce into determined, successful citizens who will one day become our city's leaders." Nick loved it, and he excelled. Upon completion of the Academy Nick was awarded 3 college credits and an iPad Air 2.
He was also awarded the Jefferson Book Award from the University of Virginia, given to the one 11th-grader who showed potential both in and out of school.
His senior year Nick took a technology class and decided he would officially give up his dream of becoming a cable guy, and set his sites on electronics. "I always liked computers. They seemed easy to me. I wanted to learn how to repair them." Nick decided he would become an Electronics Engineer. He started volunteering at Tech For Troops Project a non-profit that breaks down and recycles old computers to raise money for returning veterans in need. He also decided he would go back to the place where he had done so well with the Mayor's Youth Academy – ECPI University.
Nick graduated high school with an Honors Advanced Study Diploma in 2015. Thankfully his mom Lori found the #mikeroweWORKS Work Ethic Scholarship Program, which helped to pay for ECPI. Nick also works at McDonalds to help cover the costs.
In January, Nick will graduate with an Associates Degree in Electronic Engineering. Several technology-recruiting firms have already contacted him, and they are patiently awaiting his graduation day.
In case you're wondering, Nick still likes video games, but he no longer plays Crash Bandicoot. He's graduated to Call of Duty on Xbox 1.

The Climate Prediction Center just issued a seasonal outlook for the 2008 East Pacific Hurricane Season.
As usual the actual "outlook" straight from the government is a bit on the dry side…but basically is breaks down to this.
The official opinion is that it will be a below average season. The CPC is estimating that there is a 60-70% chance of the following.
11-16 named storms (tropical storm level or higher)
5-8 hurricanes (Cat 1 or higher)
1-3 major hurricanes (Cat 3 or higher)
Which while it is cool that they give specifics for the number of storms I am not really sure that it means that much when you factor in the 30-40% margin of error.
It is worth remembering that from a surf standpoint it isn't so much the quantity of the storms but the quality. We have had plenty of good tropical surf seasons with only a handful of hurricanes…it is just that a lot depends on where the storms form and how they behave. With a few well placed storms and we can get a ton of waves. (Though the odds are better the more storms we get…yeah I love having to contradict myself in the same paragraph)
Here is a little post I put together a couple of weeks ago that has some info on what to look for…
