Kasdan evaded the dreaded sophomore slump with his acclaimed 1983 baby-boomer drama The Big Chill, which featured a cast of up-and-coming stars like Kevin Kline, William Hurt, Glenn Close, Tom Berenger and Jeff Goldblum. (Kevin Costner, as you may have heard, was also in the film – cast as their dead friend – but his scenes were cut from the final release.)
Lawrence Kasdan has often been called a "genre man" and his filmography shows he's worked in a variety of genres, from Westerns (Silverado and Wyatt Earp) to dramas (The Accidental Tourist and Grand Canyon) to his latest release, the Stephen King horror/sci-fi tale Dreamcatcher.
IGN FilmForce spoke with Mr. Kasdan earlier this week about Dreamcatcher and his career in Hollywood.
IGN FILMFORCE: Were you a fan of Stephen King's work before you tackled Dreamcatcher?
LAWRENCE KASDAN: I was. I'd probably read four or five of the novels, and I was particularly a fan of the movies that have been made. I really liked Carrie a lot. That was one of Brian De Palma's best movies. I like The Shining and Misery, Stand by Me, Shawshank – a lot of movies have been made from his books. Since everything's been made, there were a lot that weren't that great or Stephen wasn't that happy with, I'm sure.
IGNFF: Stephen King is kind of a brand name – it's like Grisham, people know when they pick up Stephen King, they know to expect a certain type of story. But as you've said, not all of those film or TV adaptations have turned out well – so there was no trepidation on your part?
KASDAN: He was real candid about it. You really want to please him, because he's not quiet about what he thinks. He's been so great about this movie, not only during the process of making it, when I was sending him drafts of script and showing him cuts of the movies, but you know, he really likes the movie. He's been doing work for it, and he came out and he's going to be at the premiere. That's the first time we'll meet face to face.
IGNFF: Really?
KASDAN: He has not really traveled a lot since the accident.
IGNFF: Oh, that's right.
KASDAN: I invited him to come to the set in British Columbia, and he just really wasn't up for that kind of a trip. But, we talked all the time over this last year and a half, and he's been just incredible. I don't know if you've ever talked to him ...
IGNFF: No, no. We're trying to arrange an interview with him now.
KASDAN: He's so charming. He's very regular, self-effacing.
IGNFF: That's what I've heard about him. That people expect the prince of darkness, and he's just this average guy.
KASDAN: He's the most regular guy, and very friendly, and funny.
IGNFF: I did not read the novel before I saw the film, and I loved the humor in the piece.
KASDAN: Yeah, I think it's probably stronger in the movie, just because the movie's so much more economical. I want everything I do to have humor in it, because it seems to me that all of life has that. Even the most dire situation – sometimes those are the most close to hysteria ...
IGNFF: And it immediately endears you to the characters, too.
KASDAN: Yeah, those are the people that I like in the world, the ones that are funny.
IGNFF: How did you and co-writer William Goldman actually approach adapting the book? I would imagine there were probably some particular challenges.
KASDAN: You say you haven't read it, right?
IGNFF: I haven't read it but I've read a few interviews that you've done about the book, and the character's voice in his head ...
KASDAN: There's a lot of that. You know, he wrote it after the accident, and he was in so much pain, that he couldn't even sit at his computer. If you read the book, the pain is all over the book. Just in the time he gets hit by the car – in the book, there are all these fevered dreams and there's an imagined Mass. General Hospital where he's taken and a lot of the action takes place in this sort of hospital of the brain, you know? He confronts Mr. Gray – it's very, it's a wonderful prose. He didn't spend a lot of time tying everything together. I think he wasn't in the mood for that. So, when we adapted the book, I simplified some things and I changed some things – which he's been great about. The great thing about Stephen is that he sees the movie as a separate thing, I think. He wants it to capture the essence of the book, and if he feels that's been done, then he's not too particular about the details. I think that's why he's happy.
IGNFF: That actually raises a point – something that frustrates me when dealing with film fans here at the site – when we're covering a project that's a film adaptation of a book, fans of the book are very defensive, obviously, about the source material. They always say, "Read the book if you didn't understand the film." My argument is ...
KASDAN: Each operates separately.
IGNFF: Yeah! Is there going to be a pop quiz after the film? Will you hand out copies of the book beforehand?
KASDAN: When we previewed the movie – and I don't really love that process. I like taking the movie out, but I hate the cards they ask you to do. The one screening we did do cards, and one of the questions was whether they had read the book. What was great was that people who had read the book liked the movie even more than the other people.
IGNFF: Oh wow, that's great.
KASDAN: It must somehow satisfy the basic ideas of the book, you know, even though it takes certain liberties with it.
IGNFF: The horror genre itself is a fairly well-tread territory. It's hard to really scare audiences nowadays. Where do you think the terror in Dreamcatcher comes from? What generates it?
KASDAN: Did they react like they were scared tonight?
IGNFF: Yeah, there were a few shrieks.
KASDAN: When I've seen the movie, they've done all the right things. They've laughed where they should, and they've jumped where they should.
IGNFF: Well, I'm a fairly jaded filmgoer, and actually working on a horror story myself, so I've been watching a lot of horror films and studying them and I haven't been scared by a lot of them, but I've got to tell you, Dreamcatcher did get under my skin at a few points. That's one reason why I wanted to ask you what do you think is scaring people the most?
KASDAN: I think what's great about Stephen, and I think the reason so many of his things have been turned into films and TV mini-series is that somehow he hooks up two very important things. He goes right to our fears, you know, that you and I might not even want to talk about, he just writes a book about it. He finds visual metaphors for them. I think that's what makes it so attractive to be filmed. The reason I wanted to do the movie, and the thing I'm happiest about in the movie is the scene in the bathroom. It's so much not what I've done with my career, you know. It seemed like so much fun. It was so awful! When I read it in the book, I said, "This is the most awful sequence I've ever seen, and I would love to be the one to put this on film." It's pretty out there.
IGNFF: Oh it is – it's unique. People will remember that.
KASDAN: Yeah, I don't know. My mother, she just has bailed on going to the thing, because she fell down, but I was going to take her tomorrow night to the premiere, and she's 86. But, it's pretty strong stuff.
IGNFF: She better be cool with scatological humor.
KASDAN: If you've ever seen my movies, I'm sort of not like that, and I've never done that before.
IGNFF: Oh yeah, I don't remember that scene from Wyatt Earp, I'll tell you that. Is that how Doc gets so sick?
KASDAN: I thought it was so powerful that he just goes right at it.
IGNFF: Yeah.
KASDAN: I think we have a lot of shame. You know, Stephen says, in the movies no one ever goes to the bathroom. They shave, they brush their teeth. He goes right at this sort of funny taboo we have about the bathroom, and he turned it into this nightmare, you know, your worst fear of what's in there.
IGNFF: And you did not shy away from showing all the gruesome details, let me tell you.
KASDAN: Yeah, and I know that it's going to be tough for some people. That's why I'm glad it's rated R.
IGNFF: The actor who played the unfortunate gentleman that Jonesy came across – he must have been pretty open minded and cool about doing that.
KASDAN: We said that to him when he came in. I said, "Do you understand what we're going to do here?" He was just game. He's a very good Canadian actor, named Eric Keenleyside. He was so, not just game to do it, but very patient – there's a prosthetic on his ass, and he was a mess. We shot for days, you know. It was pretty tough.
IGNFF: Also, it was a pleasant surprise to see Donnie Wahlberg in there. I didn't know he was going to be in the film.
KASDAN: He's quite good, isn't he?
IGNFF: Yeah. The thing about him is, whenever he shows up in either a cameo or a supporting role, he's completely unrecognizable – in The Sixth Sense and in Dreamcatcher.
KASDAN: No, I didn't recognize him in The Sixth Sense. You know, the movie that I really liked him in was Ransom.
IGNFF: Yeah, he was very good in that, and he was able to humanize a character that was doing something pretty vile.
KASDAN: You said it. He made him so sympathetic, that's what really stuck with me. He's one of the kidnappers, and you totally cared about him and what happened to him.
IGNFF: He's a pretty gutsy young actor, especially somebody who came from the pop music field and now he's got to prove himself as an actor. He's taking a lot more chances.
KASDAN: He hasn't had that long, you know. He's fearless.
IGNFF: Yeah, that really does come across in his work. I imagine Dreamcatcher couldn't have been the easiest shoot. You have snowy exteriors, special effects, pyrotechnics, prosthetic asses, a large cast – although you're used to working with ensembles. Was it as tough as it seemed?
KASDAN: It was tough in exactly the way I thought it would be. And you know, when you take on something like this, you read a book like this, you know that it's going to be an adventure. That's part of what draws you to it. No matter where we wound up shooting, we knew we needed snow on the ground and it had to be cold. We were shooting in the middle of winter. It turned out to be very cold, sometimes 27 below. But, that was in British Columbia. When you do that, your whole crew – and it was a Canadian crew, which I'd never worked with before and they were fantastic – and I think that they weren't daunted by the weather. It was kind of great, because then it becomes like everybody's in this together and how can we do this, and we had to just not be out in it, and mostly at night, but also make it snow all the time. We have different kinds of snow blowing, and you have these huge fans and people are wrangling enormously large and difficult equipment around in three foot deep snow. It is an undertaking.
IGNFF: When exactly during the shoot did you film the bathroom sequence? I would imagine if you started with that, people would be wanting to know, "What the heck do we do tomorrow?" How do you top that?
KASDAN: It came in the second half of the show, and we had returned to Vancouver to the stages. We built the cabin out in the woods, but the interiors were all done in Vancouver. So, luckily we were heavily into the process when we got into that part of it.
IGNFF: Were you a horror film fan at all? Were you influenced by any particular films or filmmakers for the making of this project?
KASDAN: I think I was for sure. Two separate things. One is that I'm not good about going to the theater and being frightened. Something about sitting there with other people makes me twice as anxious. I went to see Aliens, which I think is like the scariest movie ever made, practically. I had to like see the comic book first, because I couldn't stand the anxiety of not knowing when that face-sucker was going to come out. But, those movies have a huge impact on me, when I can get myself to see them, you know. I loved Alien, and I loved Carrie, and I loved The Exorcist – those were big movies for me. They were just brilliantly done, and unusual, and they all took horror to some new place. What I have not gone to see, and don't like much is the slasher movies. Just the fear that somebody's going to jump out and surprise you, that's not that interesting to me. Or that you're going to see something, somebody's hand chopped off unexpectedly.
Continue on to the conclusion of Stax's conversation with Lawrence Kasdan – in which Kasdan discusses how Dreamcatcher compares to his other films, working on Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Star Wars films, his upcoming projects, and more.

Don't Miss Places In Kosovo
The Republic of Kosova or Kosovo is an Independent State accompanying the deterioration of Yugoslavia. Under Slobodan Milosevic's initiative, Serbia organized another constitution in 1989 that wrongfully evoked Kosova's status as a self-governing region of Yugoslavia. Kosova Albanian pioneers reacted in 1991 by arranging a national election that pronounced Kosova free.

Age-related declines in cognitive health can be normal, but they don't have to be a burden. Taking steps to maintain or improve cognitive health while aging is important, and knowing more about what influences the brain and cognition will also help.
Aside from diseases of the brain that impact cognitive health, levels of mental ability gradually change with age. Typical changes in mental ability due to aging can include difficulties in multitasking, paying attention or focusing for extended periods of time, finding it hard to recall a particular word or fact, or remembering minor chores or facts related to daily life. Everything from inherited genes to lifestyle and dietary choices can influence how people age mentally. Therefore, making changes in lifestyle or diet to improve certain outcomes is an important step in protecting cognitive decline while aging.
There are several things that can be done to protect or even improve cognitive health. A healthy diet and sufficient amount of exercise have both been linked by numerous studies to slower cognitive decline.1,2,3 Finally, social interactions and the regular pursuit of new knowledge or skills may act as buffers to protect against age-related decline.4*
* Causes of cognitive decline are not all-inclusive; other factors may be involved.

Pavarotti bows to taxman
Opera superstar Luciano Pavarotti has backed down in a row with Italian authorities and agreed to pay Ł1.6m in back taxes.
According to the Il Messaggero newspaper, the 64-year-old negotiated an agreement to pay the money off in 36 monthly instalments.
The tenor, who is said to be worth up to Ł300m, had claimed residence in Monte Carlo, arguing that he did not owe tax in Italy.
The Finance Ministry decided that Pavarotti, who owns a flat in Monaco, spends most of his time in his home town of Modena and is therefore liable for Italian tax.
The Italian authorities started investigating the affairs of the singer and other Italian personalties in 1997.
Divorce proceedings
It is thought that Pavarotti is keen to clear up the tax case because it is holding up his long-running divorce case.
Lawyers for Pavarotti and his estranged wife Adua are believed to be arguing over his wealth. As his wife and business manager for 35 years, she is claiming she is entitled to a cut of all the success he now enjoys.
The tenor is hoping to end his marriage so he can wed his 29-year-old former secretary Nicoletta Mantovani, with whom he has been living for several years.
Pavarotti had hoped to marry Nicoletta last year and "enter the year 2000 as man and wife".

Well, this is tasting note #500 for me. I figured since #400 was from 52teas, make #500 also! Since I think partially if it wasn't for finding out about the amazing creations of Frank, I probably would a) hardly drink tea b) not have a ton of tea and c) not get to interact with some of the most marvelous people I know of on the internet.
It's been about 14 months since I started using Steepster on the regular with a new account or name change, whatever I did at that point, so 500 at this point to me is quite the accomplishment.
One of the reasons I love tea so much is it gives you the ability to have multiple desserts without ever feeling sick. And even teas that aren't flavored like desserts like this one can be just as sweet. Since my first note, I have learned so much about tea from others on here and from the very generous companies that realize what a tool Steepster is. I definitely was very much into flavored teas at first, and now I have a yixing pot for my favorite green oolongs.
I hope that my love of tea stays around for quite a long time…because if not, I have a lot of tea to deal with.
So this tea is a perfect way to celebrate 500. I added some agave to it and it's really brought out the banana. It's very much cinnamon otherwise, lots of cinnamon. As it's cooled, there's a bit more banana, but it pops with sweetener. And it's a really good banana flavor, it's not coming off like banana runts to me or anything candylike.
I'm not getting much rum, but I am enjoying the cinnamon banana flavor. Bananas foster isn't typically a dessert I get to have, so this is perfect right now. I'm going to have to give it a try iced!
oooh 500 nice :D It's great finding teas that can replace the oh so fattening snack you sometimes crave :D

From George Washington to William Lord Stirling Alexander, 30 November 1781
Philadelphia 30th November 1781
My Lord
I have had the pleasure to receive your Lordships Favor of the 20th inclosing your Correspondence with Colo. St Ledger.
I thank you my Lord most sincerely for your Congratulations on the late Success in Virginia—an Event which, if properly improved by the States, I should hope might be attended with the happy Consequences you are pleased to enumerate. My Fear is that from an Over-rating this Success, a Spirit of Relaxation will take place in our Measures; which, should it be the Case, will prove very prejudicial to our future Operations or Negociations—and may serve to protract a War already too long continued.
I am exceedingly pleased my Lord to find, that the military Operations in the Northern District under your Direction, have been attended with such happy Success, the Consequences I think cannot fail to be very important. With Sentiments of high Esteem & Regard I am My Lord Your most Obedient and most humble Servant
Go: Washington

In the spring of 2016, we installed three raised bed gardens at the "Hardesty House," a building with three apartments, adjacent to the school property. This is a great location for a food and flower school garden for several reasons. The raised beds are close enough for the students to maintain daily. The space has an outdoor water spigot. And, it's near the bird feeders and bird bath, which means our feathered friends can also make use of the gardens! Our plans for the 2017 growing season? Begin a farm to table collaboration with a local restaurant in Collegetown!
Why school gardens?
A school garden is a powerful environmental education tool. Students engage in agricultural practices and stewardship on a small scale, and in the process learn about the responsibility of land management. Maintaining and using a garden at school also teaches students about healthy lifestyles.
Building the Frames
Cedar boards were donated by Whitmore Fence Co. Stan Harrington, Skip Hibbert, and Bill Cushman helped the 7th & 8th graders construct three sturdy frames for the raised bed gardens. These were then placed next door at the Hardesty House, in an existing garden spot.
Planting the raised bed gardens
Grades 3 & 4, Grades 5 & 6, and Grades 7 & 8 are each responsible for planting and maintaining one of the raised bed gardens during the school year. During the spring and summer of 2016, students grew several varieties of herbs, flowers, vegetables & fruits. Mint, dill, spinach, kale, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers. zucchini, pumpkins, and sunflowers were some of the favorites.
Summer Garden Club
Garden club 2016, which met twice a week from June-August, helped us maintain the Hardesty House raised bed gardens. The student participants watered and weeded the beds, learning about plant care and stewardship in the process. The students were free to take home any vegetables, flowers and herbs that were ready to harvest. We even made fresh refrigerator pickles, zucchini bread, zucchini "chips," and smoothies!

Exploring Kansas City - Elegant Fountains, Live Music, and Smoky Barbecue
Find a place to stay
Kansas City is practically built for fans of American music and cuisine. But the sounds of jazz and the taste of barbecue are far from the city's only sources of intrigue. A drive along one of KC's wide boulevards could lead you to a family-friendly museum, a boutique-lined shopping district, or past elaborate fountains.
Downtown Kansas City
Kansas City's downtown area has long been the epicentre of its jazz-fueled nightlife. Yet art lovers will also want to hang out in the city's downtown loop to admire colourful murals and thought-provoking public sculptures. You'll be able to snack on fresh bread, cheese, and seasonal fruit or browse for antiques along the Missouri River at the open-air Kansas City River Market. If you want a glimpse of the Missouri's natural power, you can head to Arabia Steamboat Museum and see pre-Civil War artifacts pulled from a vessel wrecked in the the waterway.

18th & Vine
Downtown's jazz scene can be directly traced back to this 6-block area, where the city's blues and bebop-infused style of jazz was born. The legacy of this famous area can be explored with a trip to American Jazz Museum, where you'll be able to explore interactive exhibits and catch a show in its own club, The Blue Room. Look out for Charlie Parker's old saxophone, which was donated to the museum by former President Bill Clinton. When you're done, you can stay in the same building and check out the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum's artifacts and memorabilia collection.

Union Station
Trains have been heading in and out of town from Union Station since 1914. Yet today, you and your family can do much more than simply catch a rail connection here. The sprawling structure's main attraction is Science City; an educational playground packed with fun, interactive scientific exhibits. Want to relax? You can always catch the latest family-friendly flick on the station's massive 80 by 53 feet 3D movie screen. Alternatively, why not hang out in the Grand Hall, where you can admire 3 ornate, 3,500-pound chandeliers dangling from the 95-foot-high ceiling?

City tours
There are more than 240 neighbourhoods in Kansas City, so there's a lot of ground to cover. You can make sure you hit the city's highlights by booking a trip with Kansas City Fun Trolley Tours. You'll be whisked around the city on a 75-minute bus ride, where you'll hear stories about the Missouri River, Union Station, and a few of the city's legendary fountains. If you want proof that there's more to the Kansas City food scene than barbecue, Taste of Kansas City Food Tours offers several different guided journeys that cover ethnic foods, craft cocktails, and more.

Spotting KC's fountains
Kansas City's fountains are spread throughout the city. Some of the more famous water-spouting structures like the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain are clustered around the shops and restaurants of the Country Club Plaza district. You'll also find several fountains in Swope Park, including some that are located in the park's main attraction, the Kansas City Zoo.

In this video clip of Obama in Turkey, he stumbles through a speech that could make an ostrich proud.
It is no secret that at heart, Barack Obama's allegiance is more Global than American. Given that fact, I don't know who the President thinks he is fooling when he mixes religion and politics. Maybe it is because of his early training that he has such a difficult time getting his head around the facts. Happily, the President now fools very few people when he mixes his religion and politics. It is ludicrous to run around using the term "Christian" the way he does, and all thinking Americans are smart enough to figure that out. Real Americans generally do not mix religion and politics the way Obama does.
By "affiliation" (which is the only real way to view religion politically, since no one can accurately judge an individual's heart) we are indeed a Christian nation.
Evangelical Protestant Churches – 26.3%
Mainline Protestant Churches – 18.1%
Catholic 23.9%
Historically Black Churches – 6.9%
Mormon – 1.7%
Jehovah's Witness – 0.7%
Other self-identified (chiefly metaphysical) – 0.3%
Total percentage of US adults who would claim a "Christian affiliation" is 77.9%
Unaffiliated – 16.1%
Jewish – 1.7%
Buddhist – 0.7%
Muslim – 0.6%
Hindu, Unitarian, New Age, and Native American are equal to or all less than 0.4% each.
Obama could claim that we are politically secular, because there are truly aggressive attempts made to separate church and state, but to deny the nation's Christian affiliation is the ostrich's approach—head in the sand.
Also worth noting is that the Muslim percentage was not broken down into categories the way Christian affiliation was. This has the potential to be misleading. Islam is not homogenous. There are Sunnis and there are Shiites. There are tensions, major tensions, between the two groups. Again, the President seems to play ostrich about this when it comes to his domestic policy. So when, as he did this past week, he travels to Ireland and makes a speech that calls their parochial schools as much an obstacle to peace as racial segregation, he portrays himself as a hypocritical, propagandizing fool.
When Americans follow the leader and put their heads in the sand too… well, think about what is left on display.

US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is in Iraq. For POLITICO, it's a chance to prove how they're all fluff and just a gossip rag.
Hagel, their headline insists, is "in Iraq to confer on ISIL strategy." Philip Ewing and POLITICO are aware Hagel is the outgoing Secretary of Defense. But they live in a fake world where they have to gin everything -- while supporting no claims -- in order to be 'click bait.'
As a US official, he will meet with various leaders in Iraq while there. But that's not why he's there.
He's doing the farewell to the troops tour that Secretaries of Defense do when they know they're leaving. He'd already visited the troops in Afghanistan. Here's how DoD worded it in their press release:
Dec. 9, 2014 – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel arrived in Baghdad today
to visit with and thank U.S. troops for their contributions to the fight
against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
In a statement announcing Hagel's arrival in the Iraqi capital,
Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said the secretary
will receive operational updates from Army Lt. Gen. James L. Terry,
commander, Combined Joint Task Force -- Operation Inherent Resolve.
Hagel also will meet with key Iraqi leaders, including President Fuad
Masum, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and Defense Minister Khalid
al-Ubaidi, the admiral said.
Visits Slated With U.S., Australian Troops
In addition, Kirby said, Hagel will speak to U.S. and Australian
personnel providing security assistance in Baghdad, and he will visit
the joint operations center there.
"The secretary looks forward
to gaining first-hand knowledge of coalition progress against the threat
ISIL poses to the region, and to ensuring our troops -- and the
personnel of our Iraqi and coalition partners -- understand how grateful
he is for their service and professionalism," Kirby said.
However, for POLITICO, this is some major strategy meeting. Because that's who you send to make new plans and firm up alliances? The person who's departing?
The rag offers:
Hagel, meanwhile, wasn't up to the job of seriously executing that
strategy, according to White House officials, and so Obama asked for his
resignation late last month. Officials in Hagel's camp say the
secretary had his own long-standing objections to Obama's indecisiveness
and micromanagement, and he opted to leave on his own. Carter appears
likely to be confirmed by the new Republican Senate early next year.

"ITS, or the rhetoric of decay" (Joint statement of insurrectional groups in Mexican territory)
Thursday, August 3rd, 2017
"ITS o la retorica di decomposizione" [it]
From the website La Rebellion de las Palabras, critique of the excremental choir calling themselves "Eco-Extremist Mafia" – aiming at the eco-fascist and nihilist-right groupscule Individualists Tending toward the Wild (ITS), written by anarchist-insurrectionalist groups, CCF-Mexico, anonymous others in the territory of the Mexican State:
(Joint Pronouncement)
"The Tiger, in its unconquered gait, accumulates the memory and the traces of the road travelled, to stubbornly reaffirm it; unrestricted freedom that does not assure food but which a priori omits any possibility of degenerating into a herd or of assenting to grazing. Indomitable and irreducible, it confronts the most tenacious enemies. To do this it wields its instincts, taking advantage of its portentous night vision, its prodigious smell and its finely tuned ear. In its right attack: it disfigures, tears, kills and dies, to be reborn indomitable and fierce. Nothing escapes this becoming and it is exposed to the most daring hunters and the most tenacious tamers, veterinarians and circuses, taverns and altars, customs and laws, systems of thought and political institutions. Everything is shaken, torn or eliminated in this movement of which only the imagination can disern a principle but of which nothing and no one is able to decipher its objectives and its end. (…) Anarchism, conceived not as an inescapable realization but as a permanent tension embodied in an open configuration of thought and action, is also a tiger, indomitable and fierce, affected from end to end by this capricious walk into freedom." – Gustavo Rodríguez
"Everything that we can identify as negative elements within our "space ", is also the responsibility of each of us to contribute to eliminate them. Bureaucracy, hegemony, informal hierarchies, intrigues, false friendships and false 'comrades' stabbing our backs have existed since the dawn of the so-called anarchist movement, because they are an intrinsic part of the human factor and our contradictions that constantly arise and are in conflict with each other. All these pathologies are due to attitudes that do not properly belong to a particular anarchist tendency but are present in all, and as long as they are not treated for what they really are, we will find them in front of us again and again." – Conspiracy of Cells of Fire / Metropolitan Violence Cell
To the comrades in the Mexican region and the world, to the incendiaries and refractories of the planet, to the internationalists committed to a new coordination of anarchic informality:
Exactly 5 years and seven months ago we signed a "joint statement" at the request of a comrade for whom we feel great affection and respect. That text was entitled "2nd Joint Statement of the Anarchist Insurrectional and Eco-Anarchist Groups". It was an unquestionably necessary writing given the context in which it was written and so we clarified it from the first lines: (more…)

Insurrectional Cell Mariano Sanchez Añon / FAI claim responsibility for an armed attack against police (Mexico)
Monday, September 24th, 2012
325 receives and transmits:
We decided to appeal to the call of anarchist groups and individuals that do not limit themselves to words and curses against the social peace and who take the decision to destroy the system of domination into their own hands, making direct solidarity in the practice with our sisters and brothers in prison.
For this, we claim a new attack against the uniformed shit, opening fire against the police patrol 282 of the Municipal police of the Valley of Chalco in Mexico State, killing all of those aboard.
We did not attack a public transport unit, we shot against a police car, meaning, against a well-identified objective for our struggle to the death against the system of domination and its executioners.
If it is true, how the mass media laments, that we only killed one officer and that the rest of those onboard were civil personnel and family members of municipal police, we still do not regret the act. We will attack again without remorse. In the struggle for the destruction of the existent, there are no guilty or innocent. All those who feed this system of death are our enemies.
Also we want to clarify that we don't know anything about the transit police that they report has disappeared. We do not kidnap or incarcerate.
We don't believe in prisons or in those who call for "prisons of the people". We fight for total liberation and not to impose any other equally oppressive system.
We greet all of the informal and anarcho-invidualist groups that took part in this new coordinated action!
Chaos has return for all of those who thought it had died.
Direct solidarity with all of the anarchist prisoners in Mexico, Chile, Greece, Italy, Indonesia, United States, Switzerland and the world!
Against all domination! Fire to power! For the extension of the struggle!
Viva la Anarquia!

This is my day 3 of my '7 days of nature challenge' We found this little guy hiding among the growth at a Caravan Park in South Australia. They eat ants, hence the name. Although, they will not hurt you, those spikes are there for a reason to protect them from predators. They are really cute little guys, and yes, those spikes are sharp so be careful.
As hard as we tried we could not get a photo of his face, which was disappointing. He kept it hidden.

New York, New York - Evidently, the loss of Hooters as a sponsor just before the race had a larger impact on the horse than anyone anticipated as Big Brown, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness field, finished the Belmont Stakes in last place yesterday, losing the Triple Crown. "We didn't think he'd take the news so hard," said Paul Hammel, one of Big Brown's trainers. "But I guess he did."
Both veterinarians and racing officials cleared Big Brown for the Belmont Stakes race, despite the obvious emotionally unstable well being of the horse.
"Big Brown appeared to be in mint condition," said a Belmont racing official, who certified Big Brown's fitness to run. "You couldn't point a finger to a finer example of a horse if you shot him up with steroids yourself. In fact, we let him run with a fractured left front hoof just to make it fair for the other horses. You know, to give the ones not on steroids a shot…at winning I mean."
Racing officials took the unprecedented action of banning Big Brown's Hooters sponsorship just before the race due to a conflict of interest. However, critics contend that racing officials were acting out, offended when it was brought to their attention that a deliberate unsavory connection was being made between the sponsor's name and that of the horse.
"We got the joke way before the race," said racing officials, denying that, that was the reason they ban the sponsorship. "We ban Big Brown's Hooters sponsorship because it was discovered a number of the Big Brown Hooters booster's team members had breast implants...I mean the company that makes them is the conflict of interest. Not the implants themselves."
Although racing officials declined to state just how they made the discovery, except to say it was made during an undercover sting operation, nevertheless they assert that the breast implants were made by the same pharmaceutical company that manufactured the steroids Barry Bonds is alleged to have been using.
Racing officials insist that they are not the overseers of mere circus ponies, but the gatekeepers of a tradition of kings, and therefore charged for maintaining the wholesome family values professional horse racing has come to represent today under their stewardship.
"We just couldn't afford to tarnish the image of professional horse racing by associating it with America's favorite past time, Baseball," said the horse racing official. "Not with a horse like Big Brown that has a strong chance of being the first horse in years to win the Triple Crown. I mean not when the chance of him collapsing into a ball of meat from having to be forced to run with a fractured left front hoof on the race track with his jockey buried somewhere underneath is so slim…I mean we took him off steroids before the race so what were the odds?"
No comment could be reached from Big Brown's jockey as this spoof sportswriter had a publishing deadline to meet and could not stick around any longer waiting for either horse or jockey to cross the finishing line.
Perhaps Big Brown has more horse sense than any of the humans around him have, knowing first hoof now that he is off steroids that he should not put any more stress on that fracture then he has to just to finish the race. Let alone trying to win it.
Now if only we could put what that horse naturally has in a bottle and inject it into humans.

Rockne Was Right, Pep Talks Can WorkPublished: August 21, 2017
"The last thing George said to me, 'Rock,' he said, 'sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper.'" From the 1940 Warner Bros. film "Knute Rockne, All-American".
Kinesiology's Tiffanye Vargas argues the motivational speech retains its power as part of an article on the science of pep talks that appeared in the July-August issue of the Harvard Business Review. Vargas has published a half-dozen lab and field studies exploring which types of speeches best motivate athletes in different situations. Her conclusion? Across a variety of sports, coaches' pregame talks still make a difference. Her surveys found that 90 percent of players say they enjoy listening to them while 65 percent say the speeches affect the way they play.
"Coaches and athletes feel differently about pep talks," said Vargas, who joined the university in 2012. "Coaches do not think they are as effective as they are yet athletes say, yes, they do matter, and yes, they like them." Yet, how they feel about pep talks depends on the situation.
She has found that athletes like a speech high in information and low on uncertainty if they are playing an unknown opponent or a team who beat them in a close-run match. ("We're going to beat this team with tough man-to-man coverage. Joe, your job is to neutralize that shooting guard; Jimmy, you box out that star rebounder on every play.") If a team is an underdog, more emotion may be the key. ("We've exceeded all expectations in this tournament. No one expects us to win. However, I expect you to win. I know you can win. You have to win. For your teammates, for the fans—because you deserve this victory.")
Vargas earned her B.A. in Plan II and psychology at the University of Texas at Austin before acquiring her M.A. in counseling and Ph.D. in sport psychology from Michigan State University.
Her interest in pep talks began with her personal experience as an athlete.
"I have played competitive soccer most of my life and I started to notice differences between coaches and how they prepared their teams," she said. "Often, the pep talk would change depending on the game or the opponent and at times, the speech seemed to have negative consequences on players' confidence and performance. It was not until I enrolled in college that I began to wonder why that might be."
Vargas and her mentor, John Bartholomew at the University of Texas, created three speeches that asked athletes to pretend they were on a soccer team bound for a championship match. They presented the athletes with statistics and team photos about how their imaginary team and their opponent had done over the season. Participants then listened to one of three speeches—one was heavy on information, one emphasized emotion and one was about control. Following the speech, athletes indicated their feelings of self-efficacy regarding the imaginary match. Sure enough, the emotional speech seemed to kick in and the athletes wanted more.
Vargas' advice to pep-talking coaches is to know their team.
"If a coach has a team that is anxious, maybe the 'Win-one-for-the-Gipper' speech is not the best plan," she said. "As well, the pep talk needs to be genuine. If it is not genuine, do not force it. A good coach knows when to back off and let the athletes step up and assume the leadership role. It really comes down to coaches knowing their teams."
Gender plays only a small role in pep talks.
"One study suggested female athletes preferred more information than their male counterparts. Otherwise, in general, women and male athletes are consistent in their reaction to pep talks," she explained. "What likely matters most is the athlete's connection with their coach, not necessarily the gender of the coach or of the team."
Vargas feels she would have benefited from research like this when she was coaching.
"There is so much that coaches need to understand about feedback," she said. "They need to know more about communication with their athletes. They need to know how to create a better relationship with them. Coaches need to know more about interpersonal skills and the psychosocial aspects of coaching. If they did, they would be much more effective coaches."
Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden offered polished pep talks, a fantastic role model for coaches nationwide, according to Vargas.
"He did a beautiful job of having a coaching philosophy that was less about winning than it was centered on the athlete," she said. "As a result, they won. It was the whole package. Winning is a wonderful perk but the focus needs to be on athlete development."
She feels CSULB is a good place for her research.
"I'm not sure there could be a better location," she said. "When I first arrived in California from Texas, I was impressed by the diversity of sports I found. In addition, CSULB has been so supportive of my research. It is a beautifully collaborative community."
Vargas tells future coaches that there always will be a use for the readily available, affordable and dependable pep talk.
"Verbal persuasion provides a source of confidence. How can you go wrong? Pep talks are free and always available," she said. "The other sources of confidence are harder to control or ensure. Yet verbal persuasion is always handy; the key is learning how to use it effectively. When you choose your words wisely, you increase the other person's confidence."

We're back in Holland! Still a bit jet-lagged but at least we took the sun with us!
Last week Ade started working again and his first customer requested to do a traditional Cirebon dancing-mask. Masks are used during important dancing rituals in Indonesia for over a thousand years. Sometimes the mask dance can be performed by solo dancers, or it can also be performed by several people. Masks are used to create more than the character in a drama. Graceful hand and body movements, and accompaniment by the music of a Gamelan, are hallmarks of Javanese mask dance. The dance is performed on special occasions for local officials, or for other traditional celebrations. The Topeng, is a performance which enacts stories from the times of the old Balinese and Javanese kingdoms and creates a link with the ancestor world. The three types of masks used in these dramas are; humans, animals, and demons.The powerful lines of a mask catch the light with a greater impact than that of a human face alone, and the stability of the mask's features has an intensity stronger than that of a human expression. The masks are almost always carved from wood, mask makers combine different materials like boar's teeth, horsehair, jewels, gold leaf, Chinese coins, buffalo hide, rabbit pelts, and mirrors. The glossy effect is created by endless sanding and at least 40 coats of paint.
Underneath here you can see a small video of a traditional Cirebon mask dance:

I have been deluding myself. The last few times I have been to the doctors, I have told them I am pretty active.
"I have a smallholding and dogs, I feel like I am always on the go. I must walk 4-5 km a day"
I said. I was deluding myself …. you know the thing.
I have no idea how long I swim for – in my head it is ages (hours even), but I suspect it is just minutes.
Actually I know it is just minutes because I got a fitbit. It isn't one that tells you your heart rate or any of the other gizmos. It is a basic one, but it is the one that will tell you how long you swam for. It also tells you how far you walk each day.
I was surprised. I really did think I walked about 5km a day.
Turn out it is between 10-15km every day.
But you wanna know how long I swim for don't you. Well even though I never time myself, it appears that bizarrely I swim for 13 minutes, every single time!
Last week I swam a lot in the sea at Shingle Street (although I did miss two days as I went to the cafe to finish writing a chapter of my book). Twice I swam with my heroic swimming friend Alfie; sometimes the swell was quite high, I felt rather heroic.
This week I swam with Alfie – twice in the lagoon and then once in the sea after we saw jelly fish in the lagoon. Then we felt them in the sea and the swim was a lot less than 13 minutes and we both scampered out – suddenly we were a lot less heroic.
The day after, I put on my wetsuit (jellyfish protection and I feel more like a super hero in it), faced my fears and went back in the sea – no jelly fish.

And my final Blog Award is
which is a new one for me! It was originally created by Okoto Enigma
"Mystery Blogger Award is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging; and they do it with so much love and passion."
This one was "awarded" to me by Emily Guiton-Lange, at Never Idly Dreaming, who wrote a lovely comment: Hello! I enjoyed your review, especially since I would like to start including more book reviews on my own blog. Since I enjoy your content and blogging style, I decided to nominate you for the Mystery Blogger Award! I would be thrilled if you would accept. 🙂 If not, this is simply my way of saying your blog is great.
Emily's blog was new to me, and is an eclectic mix of writing, crafting and general comment. I particularly love her Zentangling posts – a very different style to my zentangling, but I really like it! So, thank you for nominating me, Emily!
Of course, there are "rules" to accepting the award:
- Put the award logo/image on your blog. (check!)
- List the rules. (check!)
- Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog. (check!)
- Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well. (check!)
- Tell your readers 3 things about yourself. (see below)
- Answer the questions you were asked. (see below)
- You have to nominate 10 people. (see below)
- Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog. (see below)
- Ask your nominees any five questions of your choice, with one weird or funny question (see below)
Tell your readers 3 things about yourself.
- I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for lunch.
- Mr FD bought me some new ear-phones yesterday, because Jasper chewed through the right-ear wire on my old ones, so I was listening in mono. The new ones are very smart, with a neat little pouch for them, but I'm already getting my wires tangled up! My old ones had a neat little doomy-wang to wrap them around.
- I have been married to Mr FD longer than I haven't been married to him. We got married in 1985 – 32 years ago – and we were both 25. We are both now older than 50.
Answer the questions you were asked
- If you could learn a new language instantly, what would you choose and why? French!!!! Because I live in France, and, although I get by, I miss the nuances, and can't express myself particularly well.
- What book(s) do you reread over and over? Quite a lot…Mr FD claims I only read 1 word in 3, so I read a diufferent story each time! Not true, but I do read a lot, so will often forget which books I've read.
- What's your favorite comfort food? I'm not sure I have one. I like trying out new recipes, but do return to old favourites as well. Chilli con carne with garlic bread, and lots of extras on top (avocado, grated cheese, salsa, chopped onion) is a meal that's hard to beat!
- Do you plan your blog posts in advance, or write them as the ideas come? I rarely plan in advance (for anything!) Sometimes, if the mood is on me, I may write a couple of posts (in fact both this, and "Awards Ceremony II, were written on the same day as Awards Ceremony I – I think today I have just wanted to sit at the computer and write!) but usually I just write when I think I have something to write about. Sometimes I will want to blog, but have nothing much to say – those days are more difficult.
- If you could have any mythical creature as a companion, which would you choose? Hmm, that's a tricky one, as I'm not well versed in mythical creatures. I like the idea of Hedwig, in the HP books, because I like owls, but I don't know what skills Hedwig brought to the party. A talking cat? But then, cats being cats, it wouldn't say anything to me, because Well, why should it? A unicorn? A bit big – and I'm sure the horn would get in the way!
You have to nominate 10 people. Oh, no…I'm afraid not! With all the other awards, and the fact many people don't like these things, I'm not going to name anyone.However, if you read this, and want to try answering the questions, then consider yourself nominated, and follow the "rules" (unless you're a rebel, that is!)
Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog. Consider yourself notified!
Ask your nominees any five questions of your choice, with one weird or funny question: It's hard to come up with questions that are original and I may have already asked you these, but still:
- Is there a play, or stage musical, that had a profound effect on you (or that you just really enjoyed)
- What was the last (or recent) piece of music that you listened to?
- Is there a piece of advice that someone gave you that has really meant something in your life?
- Who was the last person you received &/or sent a proper letter or card to (rather than an e-mail or e-card)?
- Who is your celebrity crush? (The weirder the better.)
Good advice.
So there we are!
Three Blogging Awards. Thank you to everyone who gave them to me. I appreciate that you take the time to read my blog and to think enough of it to nominate me.

A hanging photograph reflects my life, or does it? The sun's glare creates a haze over the frame of remembrance for it looks a little vague. Faintly in the distance, reflections of my life are reduced now to an eight by ten. Who am I? I think I am nothing but a picture sitting on a shelf. My story is the same as yours – a few captured moments of smiles. The rest of your breath is consumed in some kind of drama or struggle.
I see our moments posing for the camera, but no one knows what life is like when the cameras are not rolling, right? After a lot of thought, I've narrowed it down… life is like moving the forest. It's difficult at best. We must start by asking for a helping hand.
So, today, I asked the Lord to make me strong and heal my conscious mind. I started the morning in prayer as there's no one else who can help with my struggles, except "me, myself, and I." But suddenly, I realized the "I" in this cliché is God, not me! Yes, God is always with each of us, even in the most obscure picture of life. The selfies we surround ourselves with will only become complete after we learn it's God who brings us to the here and now.
Subsequently, I decided to investigate the old cliché a little further. Who is me in "me, myself, and I?" I see it explicitly – me is the body, Christ's body!
Myself is the spirit of the Holy Ghost lying deep within our soul.
The I is our wonderful and loving God, ever present in all our circumstances.
God blesses us with life, hope, and truth and the power to go forward, moving the forest we call life. The kingdom of God was born within you! God bless!

ICSD Board of Education Statement on the Spring Musical
Ithaca, N.Y., February 9, 2018 - The Board of Education of the Ithaca City School District remains firmly committed to the education, health and, well-being of ALL of our students. It is in this light that our administration made the difficult decision to cancel the scheduled spring musical, the Hunchback of Notre Dame.. While much has been said about the casting of the musical, this was not the reason for cancellation. Our administration's decision was based solely upon the significant stress and divisiveness developing in our school community.
Unfortunately, the divisiveness has increased as this story
has gained national media attention. More distressingly, members of our community, including our students, have been the recipients of hate-filled attacks and vitriolic threats. These attacks, an unintended consequence of the cancellation, also require us
to act to ensure the safety of our students.
First, we condemn the cruel and threatening attacks on our students, staff, families, and community. Our children deserve civility and love. Second, we support our students and their right to protest. Our district leaders have encouraged just this type of analytic thinking and bold approaches to dialogue around inclusion. We may not always agree, but we greatly appreciate the important and complex conversation our students have started regarding issues of identity and inclusion in the arts. We also note these same issues are playing out from Broadway to Hollywood to colleges and high schools across the nation. Third, we would like to remind all involved that although we may engage in conversations with the same passion displayed by our youth, we as adults owe them a higher standard of behavior and expression. Our youth are looking to us to help them hone their perspective and show them their voices are valuable. However you may feel about any of the issues involved here, we are confident our children are not the problem, but an integral part of the solution.
Lastly, it is our expectation that Ithaca High School will produce a musical this spring. Students are engaged in collaborative discussions with one another and school leaders regarding next steps. We unequivocally support this effort as our students, teachers, and staff work to create productive and meaningful conversations about inclusion in the theater arts. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this situation, please contact us directly.
Sincerely, Ithaca City School District, Board of Education Rob Ainslie, President Dr. Sean Eversley Bradwell, Vice President Brad Grainger Eldred Harris Nicole LaFave Moira Lang Chris Malcolm Ann Reichlin Dr. Patricia Wasyliw

Andrew Jordan is one of the best known British touring cars drivers and one of the leaders of the new generation of the UK racing talents.
His greatest success so far is a victory in the British Touring Car Championship in 2013, at the wheel od Pirtek Racing's Honda Civic. He made a debut in the BTCC in 2008.
Andrew Jordan
Andrew Jordan was born in Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham on May 24, 1989. His father Mike Jordan also was the relatively successful racing driver. Andrew's start was in Rallycross Championship in 2003 and in the following year, he has won his first title becoming BTRDA Junior Rallycross champion.
The next was extremely good as he has won four different titles. His talent was obvious, so it wasn't surprising when in 2006 he became the youngest ever driver in the British Rallycross Supercar class. Furthermore, Andrew managed to win a race the same season.
Andrew Jordan started his career in rallycross
Parallel to rallycross, he occasionally competed in circuit racing competitions, such was Ginette Championship or Seat Cupra Cup. In 2007, Jordan's progress in rallycross continued and he became the series runner-up after he has won three races.
The same year he has appeared in Renault Clio Cup, driving for his father's team, scoring a couple of solid results to finish 12th overall what was a good achievement for the young and inexperienced driver.
Andrew with his father Mike at Goodwood
Driving in the Renault Cup was just a preparation for what will happen in the following campaign. Jordan debuted in the British Touring Cars Championship, driving alongside his father for Eurotech Racing team.
That was the first time in the history of the series that father and son competing together. The rookie did well, clinched two podium finishes and claimed 13th position in the championship driving an unreliable Honda Integra.
After moving to VX Racing for the 2009 BTCC campaign, Jordan made a small progress driving a Vauxhall Vectra. He became the youngest ever pole sitter in the history of BTTC after being fastest in the qualifying session at Donington Park but that record stood for only one season. Jordan at the end of the year was 10th, having four podiums in his books.
In 2010 Andrew again changed the team, becoming a driver of Pirtek Racing, but still was in the seat of the same car. He will remember that season after his first win, at Croft while in the last race of the season at Brands Hatch he scored another victory. Unfortunately, Jordan couldn't finish better than 10th, just as in the previous year.
In 2011, his last year behind the wheel of Vauxhall Vectra, Andrew continued to pave the way to the top of the British Touring Cars Championship. Two wins, six podiums spots, and numerous finishes in the points enabled him to take 6th place in the championship what was a respectable result. At the same time, Jordan appeared in the British GT Championship as a guest, driving for Century Motorsport at Oulton Park, but he wasn't impressive.
The following year was even better for the Pirtek Racing driver in the #77 Honda Civic. Andrew claimed only one victory but throughout the whole campaign, he was in very stable form. Jordan missed scoring points in only 3 out of 30 races.
He won Independent Drivers' trophy and finished fourth overall in the standings, announcing that he soon could be a real title contender.
Probably a bit surprisingly, Andrew Jordan became the BTCC champion in 2013. He had five wins on his account before the final round at Brands Hatch but still haven't secured the title. Despite relatively unconvincing performances in the last round, he eventually became the champion, beating Gordon Shedden by a margin of seven points.
In 2014, he started defending his crown very well, but in the second half of the season, his form dropped significantly and at the end of the year Jordan was 5th. In 2014, Andrew started to compete in the selected events of the FIA World Rallycross Championship and finished third on his debut at Lyddon Hill.
Andrew Jordan, 2013 BTCC champion
In 2015, Jordan repeated the result from the previous season, finishing fifth in the points. He was driving an MG 6 GT for Pirtek Racing, not scoring wins but reaching five podiums.
Another change had happened before the start of the 2016 campaign. Still a member of Pirtek Racing, Andrew Jordan now jumped from the seat of MG to the seat of Ford Focus ST, prepared by Motorbase Performance. Jordan scored two wins during the season, at Thruxton and Silverstone, to finish 8th in the final standings.
With his Ford Focus
In 2017, Jordan had had the fourth different car in four years. His Pirtek Racing made a deal with West Surrey Racing and he was driving the #77 BMW 125i M Sport. He was a race winner three times, finishing ninth in the points. There was no changing of a car in 2018 and Jordan stayed in a BMW, winning one race and finishing fifth in the points.
One more season in the Pirtek Racing BMW followed in 2019 and it was the best year. He won six times in the all-new BMW 330i M Sport and fought for the title until the very last race. In the end, he lost a title to WSR teammate Colin Turkington by just two points.
Andrew Jordan next to his BMW
In recent years, since the inauguration of the FIA World Rallycross Championship in 2014, Jordan was a regular guest driver in that competition. In 2014, he even finished on a podium in the British round at Lydden Hill, driving a Ford Fiesta for Olsbergs MSE. In 2015, he recorded two World RX starts, driving a Peugeot 208 in the British round and Audi S1 in the Italian round.
After skipping World RX in 2016, Jordan appeared in the British round in 2017, driving a Ford Fiesta for MJP Racing Team Austria. In 2018, he made two starts with the same team, in the British round at Silverstone and French round at Loheac.
In 2019, he made several guest appearances in the TitansRX rallycross series.

Finally it's time to start the decreases on the raglan sleeves for the imaginary baby sweater. A short recap. I increased from 34 stitches to 40 stitches (widest part of sleeve in schematic below) over 6.5″ (16.5) cm or 48 rows only 24 of which were RS rows and can be used as increase rows.
Now I need to decrease 40 sts to 6 sts over 4″ (10) cm or 30 rows of which only half, 15, are RS rows. All these numbers are now etched in granite, so to speak, because my imaginary sweater front and back have been completed, at least in my mind. The first thing I naturally want to do is panic. I can't get 40 sts to 6 sts in 15 rows. Deep breaths, make a cup of tea.
Next grab a pencil, calculator and paper. It's time for Knitting Math. The first problem I need to solve to calm my brain is make a dent in that number 40. The panicky little voice in my head keeps circling around the fact that 40 is so much larger than the 15 rows I have available for decreases. To ease it, I am going to take the 6 sts that will be left after all the decreases are done and subtract them from the 40. I now have 34 sts. The panic in the little voice goes down a notch.
The next number I need to subtract from that group of 34 sts is the number of stitches I originally bound off at the same point on the sweater body. My initial bind offs were two sts each side. 2 + 2 = 4. So 34 – 4 = 30. The panicky little voice disappears. 30 and 15 are numbers that play nicely together.
In order to evenly space the decreases along these rows I divide the number of RS rows available for decreases by the number of decreases. To find the number of decreases I need to divided the 30 sts by 2. Why 2? Because I am going to decrease 1 st at each end of the needle, which means each RS row I'll be offing 2 sts. So 30 divided by 2 = 15.
To find the rate of evenly spaced decreases I divide the 15 RS rows by the 15 decreases and I get 1. That means I will decrease 1 st each end of needle every RS row 1 until 6 sts remain.
The knitting math I used to figure out the numbers on the baby sweater is the same math I would use on an adult sweater. Increases and decreases and the math that goes with them is the same whether it is for a wee one or an adult.
Here's a tip I find helpful when making sweaters for a specific individual. Once I get the correct sizing I make a general schematic and plug in the numbers for the widths and lengths of the body and sleeves. I then file it. The next time I make a sweater for that individual, whether creating it from scratch or from a pattern I take out the file. Then all I need do is figure how many stitches and how many rows to get the widths and lengths I want. Once I know the math, I can adapt any pattern I want and so can you.
I hope this information helps. Have a good weekend.
