GATINEAU, QUEBEC - As Quebec marked Suicide Prevention Week (Jan. 30-Feb. 5), the province's Select Committee on Dying with Dignity held hearings here testing support for legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide.
The irony did not escape Linda Couture, who directs Living with Dignity, a grassroots, non-religious organization that has been monitoring the hearings as the committee travels across Quebec.
Living with Dignity is also marshalling opposition from a wide range of groups and individuals to any changes to the law or its enforcement.
On Jan. 30, Couture received a copy of a press release from Marguerite Blais, the Quebec minister for seniors, who kicked off Suicide Prevention Week by expressing alarm over the high rates of suicide among the elderly and criticizing the belief that suicide is a normal response to growing older.
Couture said Blais has made as eloquent a plea as any she has heard that suicide is never a normal or acceptable response to age or illness.
"How could a medicalized suicide be acceptable?" Couture asked. "There's something missing. I don't get it."
The select committee, composed of members of Quebec's National Assembly (MNAs), has been holding public hearings in cities across Quebec since September. Couture said she has attended most of them. The committee wraps up its hearings at the end of February and will then write a report.
On Feb. 1, Dr. Jose Pereira, head of palliative care at an Ottawa hospital, told the committee legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide "places people at risk. In Oregon, for example, where depression has to be excluded, we know that people with a depression are more likely to ask for assisted suicide or euthanasia," he said. In Oregon, he added, one in six people who received assisted suicide were found to have untreated depression.
"My brother-in-law committed suicide last year, and it was a very difficult time for our family," he said. "Looking back, we feel it was a depression that wasn't treated."
Pereira, who has worked in Switzerland where assisted suicide is allowed, said the rules change over time. At first assisted suicide was only supposed to apply to those who are terminally ill, at the end of life and suffering. Yet within two years, there was a campaign to allow assisted suicide for those "in long-term care facilities and nursing homes, for people who were elderly and felt that they didn't want to live anymore."
Joan Lusignan, a private citizen in her eighties, testified the special committee had her worried. The government is trying to prevent suicides among Quebec's young people, but what will future generations think if, on the other hand, the government allows others to receive help in committing suicide, she asked.
"The problem of suicide doesn't just affect one person, it haunts the whole family for generations," she said.
Couture said she is worried about how political the process has become. She noted how the MNAs tend to zero in on the five or six hard cases of individuals whose stories seem to recur over and over at the hearings. "They really get stuck on the individual stories, the exceptions," Couture said.
There have been 300 or so testimonies presented to the select committee so far. About 80 per cent of them have been made by individuals. Couture estimates they have been about two to one against legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide.
But reports have said the presentations are about 50/50, she said.
The committee has also said it is not numbers that interested them so much as the "quality" or the emotional appeal of the presentation, especially from individual citizens, Couture said.
Yet emotionally touching stories of those who pitched in as a family to take care of dying parents and spouses "don't seem to touch them," she said.
But she warned the province better "think twice" about introducing a new bureaucracy that might require two doctors signing off to kill patients when "one million people like me don't have a family doctor."
The province did not expect the level of response, she said. If politicians go ahead and "smuggle" in euthanasia and assisted suicide under a euphemism like "medical aid in dying" she believes Quebeckers will find it unacceptable and rise up.

GFS expansion plans will result in 111 new jobs at its Osseo,
WI, facility in the next three years, and transfer production
here from its current Mexico plant.
Global Finishing Solutions, a company that leads the world in paint booths and industrial finishing, is not exactly a household name. Although their product is all around us and everywhere one looks, it's perfectly understandable if you've never heard of them. Such is the nature of manufacturing companies in America, which have to compete for mainstream attention with the sexy ostentatiousness of software, the fleeting trend-setting of entertainment, and the addictive emotional roller-coaster of national politics.
Companies like GFS are the tiny success stories you never hear about. I don't know why; well I know why but I don't particularly like it. I recently told an inquiring couple at a café I wrote about American manufacturing.
"Well, you must have NOTHING to write about", the xx chromosome part of the pair remarked. I wanted to go off on a long diatribe about all the stories of progress I read about in US manufacturing. I wanted to rant about how an ill-informed public is fed the same crap in a 24 hour news cycle about recessions and protests and the Euro and elections and no one gets access to what's really happening in the industry that affects all of us more directly or importantly than any other
Instead I just sipped it, shrugged my shoulders and half-smiled. When you see me do this to you, know that you are Fredo, and I am giving you the kiss of death.
GFS's success story is more promising than anything else you've watched on cable news the past few months because last September it announced it was bringing jobs it sent out to its location in Mexico back to its headquarters in Osseo, Wisconsin. As the AP reports:
"Global Finishing Solutions is completing a $10 million expansion at its headquarters in Osseo (AHS'-ee-oh) that's expected to create 111 new jobs over the next three years. The addition will allow the company to move production from Monterrey, Mexico and consolidate its manufacturing operations in Osseo, where it currently employs about 270."
– Associated Press, from Manufacturing.Net, Sept. 22, 2011.
Sure it's only a handful of jobs. And sure, Osseo, Wisconsin is not exactly the epicenter of American enterprise (although Foster Cheese Haus at the intersection of Rte. 53 and County Road, according to Yelp, comes close. Look, nothing under four stars!!) However, it doesn't seem that this is an isolated incident. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, International Business Editor for The Telegraph has been paying attention to US manufacturing's storm weathering and makes a pretty formidable list of stories like GPS's:
"The list of 'repatriates' is growing. Farouk Systems is bringing back assembly of hair dryers to Texas after counterfeiting problems; ET Water Systems has switched its irrigation products to California; Master Lock is returning to Milwaukee, and NCR is bringing back its ATM output to Georgia. NatLabs is coming home to Florida."
- Evans-Pritchard, The Telegraph, Oct. 25, 2011.
Clearly, we're seeing a nation-wide trend here. And if that is the case, then the less than two thousand residents of Osseo, Wisconsin can officially consider themselves trend-setters. At least far more than any cable news company or pretentious espresso drinking couple I know.

This week was a crazy one. Last week I posted that my clothes dryer broke and the fact we got another one free within a day. Then this week our garage door broke and my hair dryer went short of catching on fire.
Well my father knows a great company, who fixed my door and he's basically calling it my Christmas gift. Thank you God for wonderful people who come in the time of need.
I made enough tips yesterday at work to buy a new hair dryer. I got sat with a big top, which has gratuity automatically added and then they all left me extra money as a tip. It was an awesome feeling just to walk into Target and know I wouldn't have to stress on how to pay for for what I needed.
My husband and I decided that I should work at the restaurant at nights to make more $$$, which will be a bonus blessing just in time for Christmas. This leaves my days open to substitute teach.
My rankings on Amazon have been really good considering my book hasn't been out but a month. It's so excited to me to watch the numbers climb, recede, and then climb again. I pray that God continues to bless this books path and the success it deserves.
I shipped it to a buddy of mine in London, who owns a production company. I'm sure my book won't be his cup of tea, as he's more of a Martin Scorses type of guy, and my book is more geared for the Lifetime Movie Network or Hallmark, but hey I'm just blessed to have a friend in the business who supports me and wants to read my work. I shipped the book out this week, so time will tell if he and his lovely wife at least enjoy the read.
I've have two photo-shoots this week, and scheduled a wedding for the end of the month. God has been very faithful in keeping me busy this holiday season with family photos. It's a huge blessing as we really need it right now.
My husband thought his car was towed last night, or stolen…but alas he's decided he just going senile as his car was only 100 yards away from where he 'thought' he parked. This blessing is obvious — the fact that I had a good laugh on my husband was an extra one! On his way out to work this morning I told him not to get lost is his work parking lot. He didn't think it was too funny — but I did.
Hope you're all enjoying your Friday. Take a little time to list out your blessings for the week. You'll be glad you did. And don't forget to give thanks to God for each and every one!

Having a food allergy or coeliac disease can make eating out seem impossible – but it doesn't have to be! Dietitian Jane Dostine's easy tips will help minimise your risk.
For most people, eating out is a treat. But if you suffer from an allergy, or coeliac disease, the risks associated with eating commerciallyprepared food – not to mention the hassles that come with having to plan ahead – can sometimes outweigh the benefits of a night out. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that food prepared by someone else will be free from allergens. But, with a few easy steps, you can enjoy a night away from your kitchen.
Allergic reactions can be very serious, or even fatal. So, before you make a restaurant reservation, it's essential that you have an Action Plan in place (provided by your allergy specialist). An Action Plan is an easy-to-understand set of instructions for your friends and family to follow, in case you have an allergic reaction. (You can find Action Plan templates at www.allergy.org.au/content/view/10/3/).
If your child has allergies, you may not want to risk any chance of a reaction – even if you have an Action Plan in place. So it's probably best to avoid giving them restaurant food all together. Take their 'safe' food with you or, if you must, order the most simple dish possible for them.
Allergens can be found anywhere, but choosing a restaurant that serves 'lower-risk' cuisine can make eating out easier.
No matter what kind of allergy you have, it's best to avoid buffets – the risk of contamination is very high, as serving utensils can be shared and foods can be accidently mixed. Choose the right cuisine
Selecting the right restaurant can be half the battle. A few simple tricks can go a long way!
Once you've selected a restaurant, it's a good idea to phone ahead to explain your needs. But keep in mind that you'll probably need to explain them again to the person serving you.
Don't sit down to a meal absolutely ravenous and rush into it – you need to proceed cautiously. A good idea is to try the 'sniff, lick and wait' test:

Quicken Starter is a trimmed-down version of Quicken Premier, an all-inclusive financial software application with features for investment accounts and financial planning. Quicken Starter provides the same basic budgeting and financial tracking features as the Premier version, without the additional investment features. However, if you don't need those extra tools, Quicken Start is a fine choice and a great value for personal finance software. Keep in mind that this program download is only compatible with PCs, and a separate version of the software is available for Macs. If you want a web-based program, Buxfer is a good choice.
With this home finance software, you can sync directly to your financial institutions to import transactions and balances into the software. This ensures you don't miss anything by manually adding in all transactions, although this is an option if you choose not to sync your accounts. While this version doesn't sync to investment accounts, you can sync to banks, credit unions and credit card accounts. You can manually create accounts as well, including investment accounts, where you can keep track of trades and balances, though all of those must be entered manually.
If you have a smartphone, you can download mobile apps for both Apple and Android devices so you can manage your finances away from your desktop. You can add transactions, view your budget and balances, and use additional features. One such additional feature allows you to snap and store receipts, which means you can take a picture of a receipt and keep it in the program for your records.
When it comes to budgeting, Quicken Starter makes it quick and easy. You can choose which categories to budget and which to hide, and then you simply enter the budget limit for each category. When you are at or below budget, the category is green in the system, indicating that you haven't exceeded the allotted amount. If you exceed your budget, it goes red. You can set email or text message alerts for when you near or exceed a specific budget limit.
The reporting options with this financial planning software are top notch, offering reports for the most vital financial data as well as some additional helpful information. You can run reports that detail your income versus expenses, spending by category and budget reports. You can print or save reports into common file types, like CSV, which can be used in other programs. You cannot export these reports to tax programs, however.
Quicken Starter has impressive budgeting and reporting features, allowing you to sync your checking, savings and credit card accounts to automatically transfer your balances and transactions into the system. Creating a budget is simple, and alerts and warnings help you stay within the budget you've established. While it doesn't have the advanced features that Quicken Premier offers, such as investment features, Quicken Starter is an excellent value in personal finance management software.

Don't you just love movies that defy description? British director Nicolas Roeg sure was good at making movies like that for a while. Some of them go off the rails and collapse under the weight of their own oddball vision (The Man Who Fell To Earth and Eureka come to mind), but even then there is something compelling, even hypnotic about them. Roeg enjoys going to raw, often forbidden places and until his later efforts pushed too hard on the taboo meter and began to lose their relevance (Castaway, Track 29, Cold Heaven), Nic was on a roll. There was Performance (co-directed with Donald Cammell), Don't Look Now (reviewed in this here column), The Man Who Fell To Earth and Bad Timing, along with the second film in this chronology and his first as solely credited director, Walkabout.
The film is loosely based on a book by James Vance Marshall about a young American brother and sister who must rely on an Aborigine boy when they are lost in the Australian outback. Roeg and his screenwriter Edward Bond take this basic premise, change the siblings to English schoolchildren, and twist it into a meditation on suburban alienation, denial of sexuality, British entitlement and the utter loss of connection between humans and the natural environment (not to mention between humans themselves). Taking place almost entirely in the desert and stunningly photographed by Roeg (a director of photography who shot Truffaut's Fahrenheit 451 and worked the second unit on Lawrence of Arabia), Walkabout achieves a kind of cinematic poetry with its meditative pace and strange, off-kilter vibe. Almost every frame could be discussed in terms of its density of meaning (some might accuse Roeg of heavy-handedness for this very reason; I prefer to take the viewpoint that driving things home is a dirty job but someone's got to do it).
Right from its early images, the film is asking us to consider larger issues. The brother and sister (Jenny Agutter and Lucien John [actually a young Luc Roeg, the director's son]) swim in an apartment building pool right next to a vast expanse of natural ocean. Their mother prepares lunch while listening to a radio cooking show describing how a bird used in gourmet cooking is fattened and drowned. The boy walks through a park in which all the tree names are clearly labeled (a not uncommon practice, of course, but one which takes on a new meaning in a film about how nature is appropriated by mankind). There is also the haunting image of an entire class of girls doing breathing lessons, inhaling and exhaling in a creepy rhythm that, again, evokes the idea of how the modern world sees fit to teach us even to breathe.
When the father of the boy and girl takes them for a picnic lunch in the barren outback, he has a little bit of a meltdown (to say more would deprive first-time viewers of one of the great shocking, disorienting scenes of modern film) that leads to the kids having to go off on their own. They wander for days, becoming more and more dehydrated and desperate, all the while exchanging perfectly meaningless banter about societal proprieties like keeping one's blazer clean. Indeed, words mean little in such circumstances, an idea that is more fully explored once the Aborigine (terrific David Gulpilil) appears to help them. "We need water to drink," the girl pleads, frustrated that not everyone can understand English. "I can't put it any simpler." But her brother can, making a glug-glug sound instantly recognizable to anyone as the need for some liquid refreshment. Off they go on their journey together, then, with the Aborigine's clear but respectful affection for the girl increasing, only to build to a heartbreaking moment when she reduces him to the role of a servant. This, combined with his seeing men hunting for sport for the first time, sends the Aborigine boy into an unbearable world of heartbreak.
Along the way, Roeg punctuates the young people's trek with some of his patented dramatic cross cuts, such as the Aborigine using every part of the kangaroo he has killed to help the trio survive, while a butcher chops and grinds kangaroo meat for supermarket consumption. Sex and death are intertwined as the girl swims nude in a pond while the Aborigine boy spears fish for dinner. The brother's beloved radio is on almost constantly, and it is another thematic element, as tinny voices from the developed world and its self-important concerns provide thoughtful counterpoints to the odyssey in the barren desert. Twice Roeg cuts to other signs of so-called civilization taking place not far at all from the lost brother and sister. One, a weather balloon station, where the men go nuts for the slightest glimpse of stocking from their only female co-worker; and the other a soul-sucking labor camp where young indigenous people make plaster kangaroo souvenirs for tourists. A continuing thread running through the fabric of this film is the notion that the privileged classes not only know nothing of nature, but also remain closed off to what it may have to teach them. Agutter's young girl seems to learn nothing from her adventure, although her younger, more open brother has learned to implement rudimentary ways to talk to the Aborigine and even goes along with him on the hunt.
The devastating ending of this film is not only due to the tragic circumstances surrounding the girl and the Aborigine boy, but to the double-whammy epilogue which shows the siblings' return to an uptight and uncaring township and a flash-forward to the girl, older and entrenched in the rat race, holding onto a rose-colored memory of her time in the outback, imbuing it with an understanding she never had at the time. Finally, there is John Barry's gorgeous score, which features timeless orchestrations along with a children's choir and even spoken word. Also be ready for the vintage Rod Stewart song that makes a memorably symbolic appearance.
Unforgettable and still groundbreaking, Walkabout is one for the ages.
James Napoli is an author, filmmaker and teacher whose third book Violation! The Ultimate Ticket Book is now available.

December 15, 2015- Senate workers won a new raise of $14.50 an hour on yesterday.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Office of Public Witness along with other ecumenical/interfaith partners were instrumental in the struggle to increase wages for low wage government contract workers. The Office of Public Witness and other partners advocated for a $15.00 an hour increase. The Senate rules committee signed a new contract that raises wages to 14.50 per hour.
Reverend Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II commented "We are thankful for the support of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) members who responded to action alerts; contacting their Senators; and advocating for government contract and other low wage workers on the local level." Nelson cited that "the struggle for economic justice on both Capitol Hill and local communities is not over, however the Senate vote on yesterday is a significant step in the right direction. The Church must continue its efforts to stand with the poor. This vote signals that our voice is heard when we are both compassionate and persistent in our efforts to impact social change. We are thankful to God through Jesus Christ that our prophetic voice was heard and workers can celebrate a significant coming of the Lord during this Advent/Christmas Season."

Many skincare products, services, and procedures are designed solely to treat one or two specific skin conditions. These options can be highly effective, but when a patient is dealing with multiple skin issues, they can accumulate quickly. And, as many treatments and products can interfere with or lessen the results of other services, patients who require various condition-specific services can find themselves struggling to keep up with their skincare regimen. Thankfully, there are options for patients dealing with a wide range of skin conditions. And, one of the most compelling and effective of those options is the Vi Peel.
The Multiple Uses of the Vi Peel
The Vi Peel is a chemical peel that is performed in-office here at Skintherapy. Because of its potent cocktail of active ingredients – such as TCA (trichlorocetic acid), phenol, salicylic acid, Retin-A, and vitamin C – the Vi Peel is ideal for treating a variety of skin conditions without interfering with other treatment options. This makes the Vi Peel perfect for patients who are experiencing increased signs of aging or who want to get a head start on preventing future aging from occurring.
Here is a breakdown of the five active ingredients in the Vi Peel, and how each one works together to transform the look, feel, and health of the skin.
- TCA: The addition of TCA allows the Vi Peel to penetrate below the surface of the skin to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and reduce the appearance of skin pigmentation and superficial blemishes and active acne lesions. Trichlorocetic acid is also a natural analgesic, which acts to reduce pain and promote comfort throughout the Vi Peel application.
- Phenol: Also known as carbolic acid, this organic compound is regularly used in skin and hair products as a lightening agent. In the Vi Peel, this key ingredient helps reduce unwanted pigmentation as well as cleanse the skin of impurities.
- Salicylic acid: One of the most common and trusted topical acid in the skincare community, salicylic acid offers tremendous results for minimizing acne, exfoliating the skin, and evening overall skin tone. Due to its ability to remove dead skin cells and promote the growth of new, healthy skin, this rejuvenating acid can be used to reduce the appearance of many skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, pigmentation, and psoriasis.
- Retin-A: Commonly referred to as tretinoin, Retin-A is a form of vitamin A that is ideal for combatting acne and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This powerful antioxidant is also more effective and less irritating than other esters of vitamin A.
- Vitamin C: There may not be another ingredient so profoundly useful for improving skin health than vitamin C. This antioxidant ingredient has a wide range of applications, and is regularly used to exfoliate the skin and promote youthful, vital-looking complexions.

Sharon Stone joined Kristen Bell to deliver the 75th Annual Golden Globe nominations announcement on Monday (December 11) in Los Angeles, California.
The actress looked timelessly elegant in a Valentino Spring 2017 dress. I can hear many applauding her decision to wear a coordinating slip under the style as it presented a refined finish.
I loved the rich combination of the vivid red against the royal purple shoes, but would have preferred a single sole heel as the chunky platforms feel disjointed.

When newly elected Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz openly worried about his state shifting purple — or even blue — in the near future, he was giving voice to Democrats' bullish hopes of expanding the map in 2016.
But that won't happen unless Democrats are willing to work for traditionally red states, something they have shown little political inclination to do so far.
Forrest Wilder, a political reporter at the Texas Observer, has seen stories about Texas "going purple" for at least five years. He has yet to see any evidence that it's happening. Since 1996, he noted in a conversation with Business Insider, Texas Democrats are 0 for 100 in statewide races. Republicans' margins of victory are still as big as ever.
Wilder thinks Cruz's strategy is simply sounding the horn to a larger problem of the Republican Party.
"I think what Cruz is doing is trying to scare Texas Republicans into getting their butts in gear," Wilder told Business Insider. "He knows that they can't continue to win elections by just appealing to white voters."
The Latino population has exploded over the past 10 years in Texas. More than 38% of Texans are now of Latino or Hispanic descent, according to a 2011 U.S. Census estimate.
There were no exit polls taken in Texas this election, but an "Election Eve" poll from the firm Latino Decisions found that Latinos in Texas had split their vote 70-29 in favor of Obama. The firm estimated that Latinos made up 26.6% of the electorate in Texas, up 6.6% from 2008.
But there are two problems with the theory that an increase in Latino population will turn Texas purple.
- First, Wilder said Democrats are simply "expecting them to show up magically" at this point.
- Secondly, with Republicans like Cruz starting to point out the party's troubles with Latino voters and soften the party's message on issues like immigration.
"There's a window of opportunity" for Democrats in Texas, Wilder said. "But it's closing."

We believe that every child will graduate from Castle Manor Academy as kind, hard working young people who are proud of what they have achieved; what they have experienced and what they have contributed, during their time at our school.
Our curriculum has English, mathematics and science at its core. We are committed to this because we believe that in establishing a solid foundation in every child's basic skills, they will be able to access learning in their other subjects more effectively.
Outside of the core subjects, our curriculum will vary slightly year on year to reflect the needs of each cohort. The details of the subjects currently offered, and the curriculum followed, can be viewed through our subject pages. However, to prepare our students for Key Stage 4, all of our students follow an Ebacc curriculum (including history, geography, a modern foreign language and computing) to build academic success. For our most able students, there is also the opportunity to learn a second language. We also ensure all of our students have a PSRE lesson each week (delivering valuable PSHE, RE, SRE, British Values, Careers and wellbeing guidance).
Whist crucially important, the academics are only part of our curriculum offer. During their time in our school every young person has the opportunity to take part in Outdoor Learning (from the annual outside classroom day to participating in the Duke of Edinburgh award); external speakers and visits (from seeing a West End show in London to dissection with Operating Theatre Live); sports and music (from our samba band to our successful basketball team).
Castle Manor provides a curriculum that achieves great academic results, whilst meeting each child's needs and preparing them for life beyond our school.
Further specific information about our curriculum can be found through the subject pages, or by contacting our Senior Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Stoneham.

You just got out of a marriage," I said. "What the fuck are you rushing into another one for?"
He just stared at me, shocked that I had hit the issues on the button. I hurried to explain myself. "Forgive me, Paul." I said. "Jeanne's a great girl, and I think she would follow you to the ends of the earth. I know she would wait until you were ready. And there are four kids to think about."
Dean thought for a moment. "Listen Jer," he said. "You know me better than anyone, so what I say is between us. I do worry about my kids. But this feels so right. So strong."
I nodded, finally understanding that he was really in love, and probably for the first time. "It's your life, pal," I told him. "And you have to do what's best for you. You've always taken care of your kids; now it's your turn to take care of yourself. Everything'll fall into place."
He threw his arms around me in a bear hug and whispered into my ear: "Thanks, Jer."
As it turned out, Jeanne was the best thing that ever happened to Dean.

In the past, I've had local friends to cat-sit for me or to exchange cat-sitting services. During my last few years in Portland, I had a frenemy who–though it was a nightmare to be close to her–was a good cat-sitter who spent hours with my cats. (True, because she was sitting in front of my tv much of that time, I received receipts from Amazon video for episodes of The Walking Dead, a show she knew I dislike.)
During my month with family in Phoenix this December and early January, a professional cat-sitter took care of my cats.
I was at the farmer's market and was in the process of purchasing groceries, when my brother handed me his smartphone and said that my cat sitter called him. I found this very odd; why didn't she call me instead of him? I also assumed it must be an emergency, since she had said she would communicate via texting.
I took the phone, and next thing I know, this human I hired was castigating me for not answering messages I never received. Meanwhile, I was trying to pay for my groceries via square, and the seller had to ask me at least twice what my zip code was. I must have missed half of what The Cat-Sitter from Hell said, because I paused to give him my zip code before I continued listening to her arrogant and condescending lecture.
At first, when she was blowing up at me for not answering my phone or text messages, I assumed she meant there was a huge emergency and she'd been calling and texting in the twenty minutes since I left the house and began walking my brother's dog toward the farmer's market. During that time, my phone was in the bag at my side. I don't constantly, 24/7, keep my phone in my hand with the volume full-blast. I made the mistake of saying, "I didn't know you were trying to contact me. My phone is in my bag." I glanced down toward the purse I was carrying.
In response to that, the bully blew up at me, going on about how I'm her client (who would have guessed, since that's not how you should treat people who are over-paying you) and should have read the guidelines and follow them and I shouldn't be leaving my phone in a bag (as if I left it in my suitcase and ignored it since I arrived in Phoenix) and blaah blaah blaah. I went into shock and reverted to being the little girl whom my narcissistic and sociopathic relatives conditioned decades ago. It didn't occur to me to tell her off right back.
When I said, "You said you would text me," she continued her tirade, claiming that she'd been texting and calling and emailing. If someone texts me, I receive a notification. If I'd gotten any text notifications from her, I would have noticed. I double-checked my phone and confirmed it. "The last text message from you was on December 8." She then started rattling off dates that she had allegedly texted me, but I definitely had no such messages, and I had no voice mail messages from her.
My brother then mentioned that he tried to call me yesterday and the call went straight to voice mail. Still in shock that someone I made the mistake of hiring was giving me a condescending lecture and lashing out at me, I quickly realized that I was having a phone problem, and I spelled this out to her. She was somewhat mollified but didn't apologize. I repeatedly said I'd call Sprint and find out what was going on, and that it must be my phone service.
Throughout this phone call—outdoors in public, surrounded by people and attempting to purchase groceries—I was profoundly agitated. By the time I hung up, I was deeply shaken and wished to hide. I didn't want to be around humans. I was in this state for the rest of the day, and the indignation and fury didn't arrive until the evening. It takes a while for shock to wear off, something that toxic humans use to their advantage, because otherwise I'd be able to promptly tell them off.
It seems she was primarily trying to contact me because she didn't find the huge plastic bin full of kibble, even though I put it in what I thought was an obvious spot.
My brother or sister-in-law suggested that I turn off my phone and turn it back on again, so I did that. Apparently by flying to a different time zone, I stopped receiving calls and text messages.
The cat-sitter eventually gave a gruff and brief half-assed apology in a text message that I did receive; that is, after I turned my phone off, waited a few seconds, and turned it back on, it was flooded with messages. Meanwhile, she should have apologized a lot more profusely than that…not that I'll ever hire her again under any circumstances. Her arrogance and self-entitlement are extreme, like that of every narcissist and narcissistic sociopath I've known; ditto countless white males whether or not they have personality disorders.
It wouldn't have occurred to me that my phone wasn't working properly. I had been surprised she didn't text more frequently, but I guessed it must be a good sign, that everything was going smoothly. I didn't assume that she would text me every single day, so it didn't seem suspicious. In short, I didn't know that my phone wasn't working, and my having a technological problem is no excuse to lash out at me. I had once or twice considered texting her to see how things were going, but I told myself that she had a very busy schedule and I didn't want to come across as high-maintenance. I really, really dislike this person and can't believe I hired her as my cat-sitter—but she had good reviews on Yelp and seemed highly qualified.
On the phone, I was too shocked and confused to point out that her behavior was inappropriate. Toxic people are very fortunate that they typically render me shocked and confused.
I didn't dump a sociopath, move away from Portland, and practically become a recluse so that other arrogant bullies could give me condescending lectures and castigate me for things beyond my control.
People should treat you with respect if you pay them money…of course, they should do so whether or not you pay them. This should be a no-brainer. This situation further confirmed that humans who have little or no empathy think it's okay to treat empaths, or at least empaths who are not white males, like crap. Good job making sure I remain jaded.
In hindsight, I should have asked more questions before scheduling with this cat-sitter. It wasn't until the appointment one week before my trip that she said, "I don't have time to stay this time of year. I have too many clients." My outgoing cats need a lot of attention. When I returned, they'd gained a lot of weight and were desperate for attention, suggesting that they spent the month eating and sleeping.
It looks like it will be a long time before I leave town for more than two nights. I still don't feel ready to make new, close friends; the very thought brings up horrible memories of that frenemy. When I get back into foreign travel–or just visit family in Phoenix: I need to either hire another professional sitter or have reached a stage at which I'm close enough to at least one or two local friends with whom I can exchange cat/dog sitting. But narcissists and narcissistic sociopaths are the humanoids who are drawn to me, and I absolutely want no more such monsters in my life.

We have been so busy lately with home projects and the daily work involved in running a home. It seems that once your family size hits 7 the workload somehow increases twofold overnight. Has anyone else felt this? It didn't feel like the workload was much different from 1 to 2 children, 2 to 3 or even 3 to 4 but somehow 4 to 5 has been an adjustment.
Today as I was trying to keep up with the dishes, the laundry and the meals this quote came to mind, and so I dug it up and share it here in case you too are feeling like Sisyphus take heart!
"I think I can understand that feeling about a housewife's work being like that of Sisyphus (who was the stone rolling gentleman). But it is surely in reality the most important work in the world. What do ships, railways, miners, cars, government etc exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes? As Dr. Johnson said, "To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavour". (1st to be happy to prepare for being happy in our own real home hereafter: 2nd in the meantime to be happy in our houses.) We wage war in order to have peace, we work in order to have leisure, we produce food in order to eat it. So your job is the one for which all others exist…"
― Letters of C. S. Lewis

Beginning Web Developer Course: Advanced Email Configuration
Forwarding Made EasyMail forwarding isn't actually that hard conceptually; you're just sending an extra copy somewhere else. Learning all the power behind that simple statement is what we'll be doing here. First, a warning: if you happened to set up BoxTrapper to stop spam, you should not use the generalized mail forwarding capabilities detailed here for any BoxTrapper accounts, but instead use the forwarding built in to BoxTrapper itself.
Clicking on "Forwarders" allows you to add mail forwarders for either an ordinary mail account (email@example.com) or for an entire domain. Let's take the domain forwarding first; this is often used when a company is initially setting up a number of websites. There won't be enough business to justify hiring people for each support position for each separate website, so by forwarding all of a domain's email to another domain, one entire staff (tech support, customer support, sales, etc.) can service all the websites if the same generic mailbox names are used. Mail to "sales" at any of the domains is simply forwarded to the shared sales staff at the main domain. If money is even tighter, you can even forward all the mail for an entire domain to a single address; this may not work for an extended period because that one person will be very stressed out, though!
Forwarding a single mail account gives you even more choices. The user interface lets you pick any valid address at any of your configured domains; then the fun begins. You can forward to any valid email address anywhere, or mark this account as invalid by bouncing an automatic system error back to the original sender of the email. Note that this last part is not exactly the same as marking the account invalid within the actual email subsystem (which is generally done with sendmail and beyond the scope of this article), because mail will still be delivered to the mailbox, but it should eventually cut down on mail to that account.
By clicking the Advanced Options link, you get access to even more. Forwarding to a system user lets you route the email to an account that's defined on the shared server itself, but not an Internet-accessible address (so you can forward to "help" or "root" or "admin", but not email@example.com). You can discard all the email sent to that account, but it will all disappear silently and there will be no useful end result (which is why it says Not Recommended).
By far, the most open-ended thing you can do with mail is to pipe it to a program, which could be a commercial program of some sort or one that you or a programmer has written for special processing that can't be done using any of the filters or other options available here.
Mail FilteringThat would have to be some really special processing, however, because cPanel gives you access to some very powerful processing capabilities under the title of Filtering.
Account Level Filtering is intended only for your signup account, which is generally not used for email anyway. The User Level Filters for individual mail accounts is where all the action takes place, so go there, pick one of your accounts, and then Manage Filters. You'll get to a screen where you can define a custom filtering rule; here is the first dropdown:
As you can see, you have quite a few choices of things you can select to test in this filtering rule. But wait, there's more:
Here are all the tests you can make against the portion of the message you selected initially, and then you can type in a string or regular expression on the next line. Not enough? Click the plus sign all the way to the right:
That's right, you can keep adding more selection criteria, using the logical operators "or" and "and" to link them. But what can you do with it when you're done?
Perhaps not quite anything, but pretty close! And as you might have noticed on the initial filter screen, there's even a built-in system to help make it very easy for you to test sample messages to ensure the filter you just created works the way you expect.

EIGSC President – Rudi de Ocampo (Smoke Guard CA) / Vice President – Ralph Lawson (Retired) / Secretary – Jason Thibodeau (Sunstate Equipment) / Treasurer – Angelica Carry (Smoke Guard CA) / Sergeant at Arms – Doris Brannon
EIGSC's Monthly Message – February 2013February 4, 2013
2013 President's MessageFebruary 4, 2013
Rudi de Ocampo (Smoke Guard CA)
February 2013
Welcome returning and new members to our Elevator Industry Group of Southern California! To our returning members, welcome to another great year with the Elevator Industry Group of Southern California and to our new members, welcome to the organization and we thank you for joining and being a part of an elevator industry group history that was formed back in 1947. As past and returning members can tell you, the Southern California Chapter is still in existence due to the dedication and shared interest of those who seek to enhance their knowledge in the elevator industry through networking, educational presentations, code updates, technology and just plain old camaraderie! Before I get too far along, let me thank a few people for their service to EIGSC last year. George "Buzz" Markert (EECO) set a great example as our 2012 President and we are glad for his leadership and continued involvement in EIGSC. Ralph Lawson (Retired) who was last year's Vice President has returned to be our Vice President for 2013 and his contribution was and still is greatly appreciated. Outgoing 2012 Board Members are Treasurer, Janice Clavet (Lerch Bates) and Secretary, Christine Lam (EPCO) who also deserve our many thanks for their commitment and contribution to our chapter.
As the 2013 new year kicks into gear, EIGSC will continue to facilitate "Progress through Knowledge". By preserving and continuing the long standing history of the EIGSC Chapter and giving members the offerings to provide a great opportunity for "you" to learn about a variety of related subjects within the industry in our lunch meeting presentations through guest speakers covering interesting, informative and timely topics and to provide a place to develop and nurture a relationship with a client or colleague. I encourage each of you to maximize the value from your membership by taking advantage of the Chapter's offerings and networking opportunities at our monthly meetings and scheduled events this year.
Many exciting guest speakers, presentations and events await us in 2013. One important agenda item for our Board Members and all of you, as members, is to be pro-active in growing our membership and expanding to other disciplines within our industry. Invite a guest, client or colleague to our monthly meetings to show them what we are about. Bringing Architects, General Contractors, Designers, City and State AHJ's, Suppliers and Manufacturer Reps would generate a new breathe of ideas, thoughts and interests into the group. This would be an excellent way for all of us to learn more of the different disciplines that is so much related to the elevator industry through design, construction, technology and codes. Again, it is "Progress through Knowledge".
The 2013 EIGSC Board of Directors is here to serve your needs as a member. While I have the pleasure of serving as your President for 2013, the success of the Chapter would be impossible without the active support and participation of our Board Members, and I would like to recognize them for their service. Your 2013 Vice President is Ralph Lawson (Retired); Treasurer is Angelika Carry (Smoke Guard CA); and Secretary is Jason Thibodeau (Sunstate) and Sergeant at Arms is Doris Brannon.
I hope you are as excited as I am about 2013, and that you help us continue our tradition of success. The strength of our organization is premised on the level of involvement by our members. With that in mind, I invite you to call or e-mail me to share any ideas, thoughts or feedback to improve our Chapter. I will make it a point to ensure that you receive a response to communications you send me. You should also feel free to contact any Board Member. We all welcome your ideas and feedback. I look forward to hearing from you by email, phone or to see you at one of our monthly meetings or upcoming events. Best to each of you,
Rudi de Ocampo (Smoke Guard CA)
2013 EIGSC President

Govt: Galleon founder wanted edge in stock trading .

Law Center - POSTED: 2011/03/14 16:00
The U.S. government claims a one-time billionaire wanted an edge in the trading of stocks for his hedge funds and was willing to break the law to get it.
The trial resumes Monday in Manhattan federal court for Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam (rah-juh-RUHT'-nuhm.)
He's the only one of more than two dozen people charged in the insider trading crackdown to face trial. Nineteen have pleaded guilty.
The government alleges Rajaratnam earned more than $50 million illegally by trading on inside information since 2003.
His lawyer, John Dowd, says Rajaratnam had the best research in the business and did not need to trade illegally. Rajaratnam has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and securities fraud charges.

How can you get kids to settle down when they're full of energy? Try using some simple, kid-friendly yoga moves.
An article entitled How Poverty Affects Classroom Engagement in the May 2013 issue of Educational Leadership discussed the benefits of yoga and movement on kids' focus and behavior.
"Having students engage in slow stretching while taking slow deep breaths can increase their oxygenation. Yoga training has been shown to increase metabolic controls so children can better manage themselves."
"Recess and physical education contribute to greater oxygen intake and better learning (Winter et al., 2007)....The use of games, movement, and drama will trigger the release of glucose, stored in the body as glycogen. Proper glucose levels are associated with stronger memory and cognitive function."
The following yoga moves are taught in the Yoga4Classrooms™ training, created by Lisa Flynn. Use these moves alone or in combination with others to energize or calm kids at transition times.
Yoga Moves for Calm
Bumble Bee Breath
- Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose before exhaling out "hmmmmm" as long as possible.
- First try this with your eyes open, and then with your eyes closed. Then try blocking your ears to make your head fill with the humming sound.
- Breathe in slowly while lifting your arms out to sides and then up over your head with your palms facing up.
- Slowly exhale as you lower your "wings" down to your sides, palms facing down.
- Sit up tall with your fingers laced together.
- Turn your palms out and inhale deeply while extending your arms straight up in the air.
- Exhale, round your shoulders, push your spine back and push your arms in front of you.
Yoga Moves for Energy
- Stand up tall with your feet under your hips.
- Inhale as you bring your hands in front and above your head and lean slightly backwards.
- Exhale and lean forward, letting your arms swing down like the water over a waterfall.
- Inhale and bring the water (your arms) back up to the top and then have them crash down again.
- Stand up tall with your feet under your hips and let your arms hang loose by your sides.
- Turn your upper body from side to side and allow your arms to wrap around you as you twist.
- Once you are all clean, turn off the washing machine and slowly come back to standing still. Finish with Flying Bird Breath to dry out.
- Spread your feet wide apart and stretch your arms out to the side. You should look like a five-pointed star.
- To make the star twinkle, reach your right hand down to the ground between your feet with your left arm pointing up. Stay there for a breath or two and then switch sides.
- You can also make the star twinkle by going back to the basic star position and rocking from side to side while balancing on each foot. You can sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" while rocking or saying "twinkle, twinkle, stop." Freeze and balance when you say stop.

The title is a bit of a lie, my stir-fry contains a little more than beef and broccoli but I usually use this Easy Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry recipe because it is so good. I usually follow the recipe and add some carrots and peppers. This time I added some chicken as well because my piece of beef was a little small. I do not add the rice.
My toddler loves the beef before it hits the sauce. Frying it up in the cornstarch mixture makes it nice and tender, he usually gobbles it is… but he didn't this time.

21 of the Most Ridiculously Strict Rules the Royal Family Must Follow
Being part of the British royal family isn't all tiaras and travel, you know. In fact, there are some pretty stringent—and strange—etiquette guidelines and traditions that the Windsors adhere to. Here, 21 of the most bonkers rules that the royal family follow.
RELATED: Monarchy 101: Here's How Queen Elizabeth Is Grooming Prince William to Be King
They Must Accept All Gifts Graciously
While the royal family has to accept every gift that they receive (even if it's something super lame), it's up to Queen Elizabeth who gets to keep which gift.
Prince Philip Is Required to Walk Behind the Queen
Since their marriage, Her Majesty's husband must walk a few steps behind her at all times. Who run the world?
There's a Strict Dress Code
Members of the royal family are expected to dress modestly and never overtly casual. (Serious question: Can you imagine a life without sweatpants?) That doesn't mean that they can't have some fun, though.
RELATED: Breaking Royal News: Kate Middleton Isn't Allowed to Wear Nail Polish
They Can't Just Propose Willy-Nilly
According to the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, royal descendants must seek the monarch's approval before proposing. (Ahem, Harry and Meghan.)
RELATED: The 9 Royal Wedding Traditions We Can Expect to See When Harry and Meghan Tie the Knot
Two Heirs Cannot Fly Together
That's in case something tragic were to happen. Once Prince George (who is third in line to the throne after Prince Charles and Prince William) turns 12, he will have to fly separately from his dad.
And They Always Travel with an All-Black Ensemble
The royal family is nothing if not prepared. A respectable all-black outfit is packed with them on their travels in case of a sudden death and they must attend a funeral.
PDA Is Frowned Upon
Although there is no formal law that forbids future monarchs from showing affection, Queen Elizabeth II set a precedent that encourages royals to keep their hands to themselves. Which is why you rarely see Prince William and Kate Middleton smooching in public, or even holding hands. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, on the other hand, are not under as much pressure to adhere to this protocol.
No Politics Allowed
Members of the royal family are not allowed to vote or even publicly express their opinion on political matters.
When the Queen Stands, So Do You
And don't even think about sitting until Her Majesty has done so.
But the Queen is Not Allowed to Sit on a Foreign Throne
Even if the throne is from the Seven Kingdoms.
They Leave the Table Discreetly
If a royal must use the restroom during a meal, they don't announce it to the table. Instead, they apparently simply say "Excuse me," and that's that. (If only your toddler would do the same.)
You Must Address Royals Properly
This one's a little confusing. Apparently, when you first meet the queen, you should address her as "Your Majesty" and then "Ma'am." For other female members of the royal family, you should use "Your Royal Highness," and then again "Ma'am" in later conversation. For male royals, it's "Your Royal Highness" and then "Sir." And under no circumstances should you address the queen as "Liz."
There Are No Autographs or Selfies Allowed
So put that selfie stick away.
Tiaras Are Only Worn by Married Women
No ring? No tiara.
They Rarely Eat Shellfish
This isn't a requirement, but a wise rule that many royals, including Queen Elizabeth, adhere to because of the increased likelihood of food poisoning.
RELATED: You Won't Believe the Delicious Foods the Queen Forbids from the Royal Family's Diet
Curtsies Are Encouraged
While the official website for the British Monarchy says that there are "no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting the queen or a member of the Royal Family," it also states that many people wish to observe the traditional forms. That means a neck bow (from the head only) for men and a small curtsy for women.
When the Queen Finishes Eating, Then So Must You
Dining with royalty? No extra portions for you.
The Queen Signals When a Conversation Is Over
If you see Her Majesty move her purse from her left arm to her right, then it's time to stop talking. That apparently signals to her staff that she's ready to move on.
Six Ravens Must Live at the Tower of London
According to legend, at least six ravens must remain at the giant fortress or else the monarchy will fall. But no one actually believes that, do they? Well, apparently so, since there are indeed seven (one spare) birds living at the Tower currently.
Royal Wedding Bouquets Contain Myrtle
This tradition started with Queen Victoria and continued with the Duchess of Cambridge's marriage in 2011. This pretty flower symbolizes good luck in love and marriage. Aww...
RELATED: 14 of the Most Stunning Royal Wedding Dresses of All Time
They're Not Allowed to Play Monopoly
When the Duke of York was presented with the board game, he revealed that it's forbidden in the royal household because "it gets too vicious." Royals—they're just like us.

"I have attended many motivational and training seminars and after experiencing the first day of Blair's workshop, I can only say one thing, WOW! This man is passionate about what he does and he cares."
Kevin Boyle, West coast Regional Manager, Klassen Family Inc.
"In one month plus one day my organization went from 'pulling the plug' to full scale operations. And we have more than $100,000 in net revenue within one month. Never has the importance of staying resourceful and asking' what might I do right now' been so clearly evident."
Wayne Tebb, Management Consultant
"I was unexpectedly pleased that within the first two weeks of RESULTS NOW starting working with us, some of my staff began thanking me for bringing in the your team."
Angus Watt, National Bank Financial
"To a large degree I attribute my top sales and management career to Blair Dunkley's training. In the last 25 years I have personally invested over $100,000 in the best Continuing Education programs in the Human Potential Movement. By a far shot RESULTS NOW Is the most effective training that I am aware of today. In my opinion Blair Dunkley Could Train TONY ROBBINS to be more Successful & It won't be long before OHPRA finds Out about him.
Neil R. Irwin, Financial Planning Veteran & Top Western Canadian Global Learning Agent and Graduate of Blair Dunkley Training 1991.
"I have been working with Melissa and using the tools for the last 6 months now and it has transformed not only my professional life, but how I conduct my personal life as well. On professional level, the tools like, IBeR and getting laser focused on my action steps, has taken me from having a complacent mindset and made me solution and forward based thinker. Working in a commission based industry; it has increased my income by 40% in only six months.
This training has transferred into my personal relationships with friends and family, and allowed me to be more present and concentrate on what is really important, as opposed to being tied down with the "what if" scenarios of my business. It has allowed me to develop a clear and precise direction of where my business is going, without it running my life."
Shpend 🙂
"I wanted to drop you a note to give my thoughts.
Right now I'm about 6 months into the E-Leadership course and seeing the light. I'm 32 years old and played a professional sport for 12 years. During that time I was very self-involved, I felt showered in admiration and did not have to consider others. If I ran into an issue with one person, I could remove them and there would be somebody waiting to give me what I wanted. It was like living in my own little bubble that I created to fulfill me. After I retired, I started living the "normal" life and realized that people are not waiting to meet my needs or wants anymore. I would have to consider others and make an effort to show their importance. I knew I wanted to work on my social interaction and was fortunate to come across the Results Now program.
Over the 6 months I've discovered a new way to look at communication. It really comes down to what people are saying to each other. Whether it's business or personal, I've found I can improve anything I want, just by getting curious in others and asking effective questions. The skills go far beyond this, however at this stage I feel it has had a tremendous effect helping me pop my bubble. With 4 more months to go, it's scary to think of where I'll be and where I will go from there. The passion to learn these skills and my improvement is at an all time high for me, it's been a pleasure and I appreciate the opportunity."
Thank you,
Ray Schultz
Barry Cruickshank wrote: Here is a quote from a friend of mine, Lee, who has studied with Blair for some time. As I was researching Blair I asked for his opinion, this is what Lee said:
"Blair Dunkley is a master of communication, both verbal and non-verbal. He has the ability to look into a person's actions and words, and distinctly understand all the undertones of a conversation.
In short not only is Blair a profiler, he understands how to effectively change people from a stuck state to a state of action. To effectively demonstrate the power of this, Blair moved a 1 million dollar a year company to 27 million a year. He effectively trained a tax shelter salesman to selling 100,000 dollars worth of tax shelters to over 2 million dollars worth of tax shelters within the span of a year. If you want to grow the sales of your company, then send your people to his course on sales. If you want to get your company up to the next level of business, he is the man to talk to. However, there are two things: he does not come cheap, and he is very busy, so don't be surprised if you come in secondary or tertiary to multibillion dollar company CEOs and fledgling banks who are looking to take over their market share. I remember one anecdote of Blair's where he went into a start-up oil company to deal with a CEO with… people issues, to say it mildly. They had gone through 4 consultants before Blair got there, and Blair was the only one to address the problem correctly, and now the company flourishes. Anyway, I digress, we get our sales teams taught… because what Blair teaches impacts their lives on all levels not just in sales, however that will be the focus if you so choose it to be."

What are the SNP Scottish Government doing to support rural Scotland?
The SNP Scottish Government established the Rural Parliament in 2014 to ensure that the needs of rural communities were considered, debated and acted upon. The Scottish Parliament has also passed the Community Empowerment Act which requires public bodies to consider how to engage with local communities.
We have established a new rural housing fund which is open to community groups and rural landowners – meaning that they can take a more active role in meeting the housing needs of local communities. Our Rural Fuel Poverty Task Force will report within a year with specific proposals which make it easier for people in rural areas to keep their homes warm.
We're making major investments in rural infrastructure. The Borders railway has now been completed and we have started work on the dualling of the A9 which will bring major economic benefits across the north of Scotland. Rural rates relief has also benefitted more than 2,500 businesses across Scotland – alleviating the extra costs companies can incur and increases the sustainability of the rural economy.
We are also aiming to ensure that 1 million acres of land are in community ownership by 2020 – a short life working group has been established to help us to achieve this target. In addition, we have introduced the Land Reform Bill, and we are trebling the size of the Scottish Land Fund, which supports community buy-outs.

(sleeve)LESS is more – Caesura x 4
Caesura Redux, Caesura PaperSilk, Caesura V (above), and Caesura Tuck make up a (late) summer bouquet of sleeveless ziggurats.
You can buy them (on Ravelry) for €6 each or as a Set of 4 for €15 (+VAT)
The construction is slightly mad. And fun!
Like all Ziggurats, Caesuras are worked seamlessly top-down – there's an added twist here for the first bit is actually knitted bottom up from a provisional cast on from about half the armhole.
Then there's another cast-on as at the shoulder as an extension of the work and onto the working needle – this one goes in what seems to be the absolutely wrong direction, extending out from the shoulder into space.
Trust the pattern. Just do as it says. No, really. And you'll end up with a neat nice shoulder "seam" just a little bit later. Like this:
After the usual zigging and zagging associated with my Ziggurat method, off you zoom toward the hem – apart from a small pause, a Caesura. Here we stop for an uncharacteristic snipping and joining of yarn. Just once.
When the knitting is done, your top is done. There is no additional finishing except for weaving in of very few ends.
The Caesura collection
Choose the neckline that pleases you most, V-neck or not, high or lower, waist shaping or not, bust darts or not, back tuck or not, back slit or not, a small pocket or not.
You could also choose a design detail from one Caesura to work with another.
How about…
…a back tuck and a garter stitch triangle
(Caesura Tuck knitted with 2 skeins of DyeForYarn Fingering Silk/Linen)
Note how the armhole gets its finished look with the help of a slipped-stitch edging. No finishing is required after knitting is done.
… an attached hem
(Caesura PaperSilk knitted with DyeForYarn PaperSilk)
… a ribbed hem
(Caesura Tuck knitted in DyeForYarn Fingering Silk/Linen – knits up like a DK weight yarn)
… a fold in the back neck
(Caesura PaperSilk knitted in DyeForYarn PaperSilk)
… a twisted rib triangle
(Caesura V knitted with Dibadu Yarns Seda de Campo, a DK-weight Silk/Linen)
… some stripes and a bum-friendly back slit
(Caesura V knitted with Dibadu Yarns Seda de Campo)
… a pocket
(Caesura Tuck knitted in DyeForYarn Fingering Silk/Linen)
Or make up your very own bouquet.
Brief description of each:
Caesura V
Caesura V is a summery, sporty sleeveless top with a generous A-line shape and stripes – A-line-ish anyway. There are no waist decreases, only increases.
Worked in DK weight it knits up fast so you may need a few in different colour combinations. The sample is knitted with Dibadu's Seda de Campo in colours Mondlicht (Moonlight) and Erdbeeren auf Pistazieneis (Strawberries on Pistachio Ice Cream). Seda de Campo, a silk-linen blend has such a beautiful sheen and drapes very nicely.
Caesura Redux
Caesura Redux has a relaxed crew neck, a little waist shaping, a twisted rib detail along the sides, and an attached hem. Like Caesura V it is knitted with Dibadu's Seda de Campo (Mondlicht/moonlight).
Caesura Tuck
Caesura Tuck is knitted with DyeForYarn Fingering Silk/Linen which has an interesting, almost rustic texture. That is, it looks rustic but is soft against the skin and is gentle on the fingers when knitted. Fingering Silk/Linen knits up to DK gauge so many DK yarns would work as a substitute. Some suggestions: Dibadu's lovely, drapey Silk/Linen yarn, Seda de Campo, or Giverny a supple Merino/Silk from Nature's Luxury — or a pure wool yarn such as Wollmeise's Merino DK.
The TUCK in the back is quite advanced knitting, so I've added an alternative mode of creating movement and room in the back; more of a gather than a tuck.
But do try the tuck! It's fun. And it will definitely show up in future Åsa Tricosa patterns. In fact, it's already a feature in two upcoming designs… no, three now.
Caesura PaperSilk
Caesura PaperSilk is knitted with DyeForYarn PaperSilk, a band-like pure silk in heavy lace-weight that knits up to a fabric with quite a bit of stretch. Therefore, if you substitute a yarn with less give and stretch you may consider going up a size. Caesura PaperSilk has slightly set-in shoulders and an accordion-fold in the back neck.
Alternative yarn suggestions: Crujido de Seda from Dibadu and Geisha from Nature's Luxury are both quite similar to PaperSilk and excellent substitutions. I haven't tried (yet) any of the exciting Habu Textiles yarn apart from a superfine mohair lace yarn. I imagine there are several Habu yarns that would work for Caesura PaperSilk.
Enjoy some leisurely late summer knitting & knit with abandon!

Urgent action needed to better manage e-waste
The International Labour Organisation has called for urgent action to better manage the toxic flood of electric and electronic waste (e-waste) produced around the world, so it can be turned into a valuable source of decent work.
Representatives of governments, workers' and employers' organizations agreed at a meeting at the ILO in Geneva that governments should "increase and promote investments in waste management infrastructure and systems at all levels, as appropriate, to manage the rapidly growing flows of e-waste in ways that advance decent work."
The meeting, which was held early April 2019, also saw attendees agreeing on the urgency of protecting people working with e-waste, which is toxic and hazardous and negatively affects workers and the environment.
"Workers handling e-waste have no voice, no bargaining power and they are breaking hazardous materials by their hands," said worker vice-chairperson, James Towers. "Moreover, these workers are unaware of the many risks associated with handling e-waste".
Only 20 per cent of e-waste is formally recycled, even though it is valued at €55 billion (RM255 billion)
E-waste is becoming an increasingly important resource for informal workers along the e-waste value chain who recover, repair, refurbish, re-use, repurpose and recycle electrical and electronic equipment, bring innovative services and products to the market and facilitate a transition to the circular economy.
"There is great business opportunity in the e-waste sector", said employer vice-chairperson, Patrick Van den Bossche, "We need to step up our efforts in creating decent and sustainable jobs, fostering an enabling environment for sustainable enterprises, offering new products and new services, and adding value through enhancing the circular economy".
The world produces as much as 50 million tonnes of e-waste a year.
"In my own country, Nigeria, and in several other African countries, e-waste is littering our landscape," said government vice-chairperson, Aniefiok Etim Essah. Yet, he added, "Our youth possesses the creativity and potential for learning skills to manage e-waste, giving us the opportunity to increase youth employment."
The ILO is a member of the UN E-Waste Coalition, formed to increase collaboration, build partnerships and more efficiently provide support to help states address the e-waste challenge.

We've got a couple of quick news stories for you this afternoon. First up, Bruce Campbell has tweeted that Fede Alvarez' remake of Evil Dead has taken up The Heat's vacated April 5th date, which means it will be going up against Jurassic Park 3D at the box office. So who would win a fight: deadites or dinosaurs? [Answer: Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs always win unless they're faced with their natural enemy, Meteors.] Evil Dead, which originally had an NC-17 rating, will premiere at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival.
In other news, The Playlist reports that A Good Day to Die Hard will be by far the shortest Die Hard yet with a runtime of 97 minutes. For comparison, Die Hard is 131 minutes, Die Hard 2 is 124 minutes, Die Hard with a Vengeance is 131 minutes, and Live Free or Die Hard is 128 minutes. So Die Hard 1 and 3 are the best in the series and they both run 131 minutes. Coincidence? Yes.
