Team: Roush Fenway Racing

WHERE HE STANDS: This year's Daytona 500 winner remained atop the Sprint Cup standings for the second straight week after Michigan. He is 4 points ahead of second-ranked Dale Earnhardt Jr. and 17 points ahead of Roush Fenway Racing teammate and former series points leader Greg Biffle.

SONOMA RECORD: 12 career starts, 0 wins, 0 top-5s, 1 top-10, 0 poles. Best career finish: 8th in 2008. Finished 14th in this race last year, which tied for his third-best performance on the twisting road course.

LOOKING AHEAD: You can practically hear Kenseth now, saying, "Ugh, Sonoma again? Let's get there and get out fast." Road-course racing is not Kenseth's forte, particularly at Sonoma. To his credit, he is competitive there but just doesn't seem to have the mechanics or skills to be a challenger for wins there. He'd rather just get through the race unscathed, which he has done in all 12 of his starts there, and then fly off to the next race. Here's Kenseth's scouting report on Sonoma: "You go there thinking about different things because your driving style on approach, and things you do in the car, is a lot different. We go to Sonoma working as hard as we can in practice to get our car to drive as good as it can because certainly there are a lot more opportunities for mistakes from a driver's standpoint at that track. Sonoma is always a challenge and one that I sort of look forward to trying to get better at, but I also look forward to leaving on Sunday night, too. Hopefully we can get a good result and get our cars running better there. All our cars were fast at Watkins Glen last year, and hopefully we get them going fast at Sonoma this year."

LOOKING BACK: Another race, another consistent finish for Kenseth as he came home in third place at Michigan. He typically does well at the 2-mile oval, but with a new racing surface and rainstorm that washed away all the rubber before the race, anything was possible. Still, the veteran Kenseth took to the track like a duck to water and once again showed why he's one of the best at MIS.

ETC.: Kenseth has completed 98.3 percent (1,306) of the 1,329 laps contested in his 12 career starts at Sonoma. He has both a mediocre average start (20.2) and average finish (21.5). He has 0 DNFs there.

88 DALE EARNHARDT JR., Chevrolet

Team: Hendrick Motorsports

WHERE HE STANDS: Despite winning Sunday at Michigan, Earnhardt remained in second place in the standings but closed the gap on points leader Matt Kenseth to just four points. Earnhardt leads third-ranked Greg Biffle by 13 points.

SONOMA RECORD: 12 career starts, 0 wins, 0 top-5s, 0 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: 11th, three times (2003, 2004 and 2010). Finished 41st in this race last year, failing to make it even halfway because of overheating issues.

LOOKING AHEAD: After breaking his 143-race winless streak Sunday at Michigan, can Earnhardt make it two in succession? Doubtful. He's not a road-course ace. But on the flip side, with the momentum he gained at Michigan, Earnhardt shoots to the top of the charts as one of the favorites in each of the next four races that follow Sonoma: Kentucky, Daytona, New Hampshire and Indianapolis. Here's how crew chief Steve Letarte looks at Sunday's race: "Years ago when race teams went out to Sonoma on the road courses, everyone looked at it to go out there, not make mistakes, get the best run you can. I think that mindset has gone away. Every race team feels that it can be like an oval track -- they can go out and run well. The double-file restarts increases tempers. You hear all the time about wanting to race for wins. Sonoma is a perfect example of how hard everyone races every lap to get the best finish possible."

LOOKING BACK: Finally! Earnhardt snapped the longest losing streak of his career at 143 races Sunday at Michigan. He had the most dominant car and

Today #6

Was a special day, kind of.
Woke up to scorching sun,
The garden parched, already.

Had planned a girls' day out
Just down the road, in Nîmes.
Busy, hot and festive,
It never disappoints.

So old,
So imposing,
And with so many stories to tell.

  1. It was Kay - Savannah has been allergic to dairy products for 6 years. After carrying out tests last autumn we've been reintroducing them slowly and so far so good. This was a real treat - the biggest icecream she's ever had.

  2. La nimoise que je suis, ne peut qu'approuver !

  3. Sounds like a lovely day. The light looks fantastic. Looking forward to some brighter days in the UK.

  4. oh that does sound like a nice day. i need to get out more!

  5. Very lovely places and I like your photos, taken an old camera! I´d like to be there some day!

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear your thoughts so please leave me a message and brighten up my day. Merci!

Cleanup begins as heavy snowfall hits Yakima Valley

Cleanup begins as heavy snowfall hits Yakima Valley »Play Video
YAKIMA, Wash. -- A white winter is finally here. Heavy snowfall hit the Yakima Valley Saturday night. It kept many people busy cleaning up the streets.

Clearing the path was only one of the battles with Mother Nature.
"It's been very tedious all day,” said Brock Davis. “Just a lot of work."

Hours of shoveling, but Brock Davis knew it had to be done.

"It'd be very hard to walk,” said Brock. “We'd be tripping all over snow. We'd be getting our house soaking wet."

You now have a winter wonderland whether you wanted one or not.

It's been a very busy day for people in Yakima. KIMA saw people shoveling snow all day.

KIMA wanted to see how much snow was in one Yakima neighborhood. There was 11 inches of snow.

Yakima's Streets and Traffic Department plows snow when it reaches three inches. That includes major arterial roads and streets near schools, hospitals, stop signs and hills.

Removing snow from sidewalks in front of your house and business is also your responsibility. It's kept Jerry Bendall quite busy.

"Usually I get up at 3 o'clock in the morning, come out to check how bad the snow is,” said Jerry. “You get the first layer off of it. People start walking on it, it turns into ice and it makes the job a lot longer to do."

Yakima crews are on call 24/7 doing the best they can.

"I did slip and fall easily,” said Jerry. “I cracked an elbow before."

It's against the law to throw snow into the street in Yakima. It's recommended you don't park your car on the street. If you have to, try parking as close to the curb as possible.

Troubled motel gives its side of the story

Troubled motel gives its side of the story

YAKIMA, Wash.-- A response from the owner of a local motel with a history of trouble. Yakima police say the Sunshine Motel on North First Street continues to be a problem. KIMA has followed it for years. The owner says don't blame the motel.

Rajiv Sauson has owned the Sunshine Motel dating back to a time when it was called The Tourist. Name changes haven't been enough to change the problems that attract police. Now, Rajiv is dealing with a complaint from Yakima labeling his business a chronic nuisance.
Complaints of drugs and prostitution. Police are called to the Sunshine at least once a day. The owner says he can't watch what people do inside the rooms they rent.

"We can't figure out who is drug dealer or who is a prostitute," Sauson said. "Police know. They are telling us, 'Oh, you have lot of drug dealing,' and, okay, you know, why don't you arrest them?"

Rajiv says he's trying to keep things under control. The ID of everyone who rents a room is copied. He keeps a list of the troublemakers and kicks out tenants who have too many visitors. There are 26 cameras that help him monitor the property. Rajiv can even watch from his cell phone.
"Do you think you are doing everything you possibly can to keep your motel safe?" KIMA asked.
"From my best knowledge I am doing everything," Sauson responded. "But, we want to know what city wants us to do."

He will find out this month. Code enforcement officers and police will meet with Rajiv about what he can do to keep the business safe and open. If things don't get better, the business could be shut down under the chronic nuisance ordinance.
So, I wanted to see the place for myself. Rajiv showed me one nice room, but I needed to see other available rooms to make sure he didn't clean just one room for my camera. He opened every available room on that floor.

They all looked clean to me. But, police say the problem is what's happening in the rooms that are rented - a problem Rajiv and the city will try to work out together.

The owner's already met once with Yakima officials and YPD last month. They'll meet again to decide on the changes that are needed. We will follow up.

Yakima Valley Filipino community rallies to help typhoon victims

Yakima Valley Filipino community rallies to help typhoon victims
WAPATO, Wash. -- Every Thursday, the Filipino-American Community of the Yakima Valley serves hot take-out lunches. On every plate, in each container...a feast.

The proceeds normally help the local community. But, with thousands dead in the Philippines and more than a half million displaced, the Community is sending its money abroad. A collection jar now sits on the counter.

Rey Pascua says it has to be done. "Just the desperation that people felt not having the food, the water and shelter that is absolutely necessary."

Proceeds from the Community's December 5th take-out lunch will go to help typhoon victims. The organization is also selling tickets to a fundraising dinner on November 22nd. Money that will go to the American Red Cross.

"The Philippines needs water, food, bedding supplies and prayers," said Pascua.

To meet those needs, It plans to work with local fire stations to collect canned food and linens. Tarps are something else this community wants to provide for friends and family abroad.

Monette Shelton's parents are in the province of Cebu. They told her they're alright. "My Mom is okay," said Shelton. "We just have leak in the roof, but we're okay. It was horrendous. One of the worst experiences they ever had because they thought the roof would rip off their house and that was the scariest part."

Some of Monette's cousins fared worse. "Right now we heard that they are okay, but they don't have houses no more."

A plight shared by thousands in the Philippines, moving Yakima Valley Filipinos into action.

UAE’s Emaar to meet bond investors from Jan. 21

HSBC, RBS and StanChart named to arrange meetings.

January 18, 2011 4:37 by

Emaar Properties , builder of the world’s tallest building in Dubai, appointed banks to arrange fixed income meetings ahead of a possible bond issue, the developer said on Tuesday.

HSBC , RBS  and Standard Chartered have been picked to arrange the meetings which start on Jan. 21 and will take place in Asia, the Gulf region and Europe, Emaar said in a statement posted on the bourse website. “A transaction may follow subject to market conditions,” the statement said.

The property market in the United Arab Emirates suffered in the wake of the global financial crisis as developers overstretched themselves in the pursuit of ambitious projects.

The sector’s woes are still far from over and last week Abu Dhabi-controlled Aldar Properties  announced a $5.2 billion government support package.

Dubai’s ruler has a 31 percent stake in Emaar which built the Burj Khalifa. The company issued a five-year $500 million convertible bond last year with coupon of 7.5 percent to refinance short term liabilities.

A banker at one of the arranging banks said the property firm was eyeing an Islamic bond, or sukuk, issue, following the meetings, IFR, a Thomson Reuters unit, reported.

Abu Dhabi National Energy Co (TAQA) raised $215 million from the sale of a Malaysian ringgit-denominated Islamic bond, or sukuk, it said on Sunday, as part of plans by the state-run oil and gas utility to diversify its funding sources.

February 26, 2012 11:22 by

The ten-year sukuk carried a 4.65 percent profit rate with a full swapped rate to U.S. dollars of 5.3 percent, the company, which owns assets in Canada and Europe, said in a statement.

TAQA, which is 75 percent owned by the government of Abu Dhabi, upsized the bond from 500 million to 650 million ringgits, due to strong investor demand from Malaysian asset management companies and Islamic investors, the company said.

The sukuk was part of the firm’s 3.5 billion Malaysian ringgit sukuk programme, which was established late last year.

Gulf borrowers are tempted to explore financing options in Malaysia to diversify funding sources away from dollar financing and to tap into an Islamic investor base.

National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank have both issued in ringgit previously, in response to high demand from Malaysian investors looking to gain international exposure in local currency.

“This successful transaction opens up a new market and debt structure for TAQA,” Stephen Kersley, chief financial officer of TAQA said in the statement.

Standard Chartered was the lead arranger for the sukuk.

Earlier this month, Malaysia’s RAM Ratings assigned a preliminary AA1 rating to TAQA’s proposed sukuk Murabahah programme of up to 3.5 billion ringgit

In December, TAQA sold $1.5 billion in bonds maturing in five to ten years to refinance upcoming debt.

Abu Dhabi listed TAQA is a regular issuer of debt in global markets and benefits from implicit backing from the Abu Dhabi government as one of its strategic firms.

The emirate holds over 90 percent of the UAE’s oil reserves. (Additional reporting by David French; Editing by Dinesh Nair)

Trustworthy Repair Advice

You don’t want to pay thousands of dollars to a mechanic to do a routine repair on your car or truck. That’s understandable. Everyone has heard the horror stories of getting ripped off by an unethical car repair shop. You plan to do it yourself, like so many others in this increasingly DIY economy. That’s great.

But where are you going to get the information you need to make the repair? How do you know what sources are trustworthy? There are hundreds of forums online filled with free advice — free because it’s from the forum members who are rarely trained mechanics. There are even blogs and websites with step-by-step instructions, but how trustworthy are they? Were those posts written by freelance writers in foreign countries who got paid a few dollars or by an experienced mechanic who has worked … Read the rest

Keep Your Digital Device Clean

As more and more people use digital media to help them maintain and repair their cars, grime becomes an issue.  If you’re under the hood — or under the car — your fingers will be greasy and dirty.  Now try to swipe the tablet that has the digital repair manual you’re using as a reference.  It’s an equation that leads to ruined electronics and interrupted repairs.

There’s a hack for that. Check it out:

It figures that the folks over at Haynes would be the ones to figure it out.  They are the top publisher of digital manuals for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, etc.  On their blog they talk about how this hack works for cooking, arts & crafts, and anytime you want to protect your electronic device from water, oil, grease, dirt, etc.

Why December is a Good Time to Buy a Car

Holiday shopping is usually about toys, electronics, and other gifts, but December is actually a good time to buy a car. Sure, recent data suggests that you can buy a cheaper car in August, but that’s because historically people buy lower-priced models as dealers close out the previous year. If the sticker prices are lower in August, then the price paid will be lower. But the better deals are available in December

Close Outs

By the time December 2014 arrives, a good portion of the 2015 models will have been on the lot for several months. Dealers will be looking toward the New Year and clearing their inventory. Sure the 2016 models won’t be available until mid-year, but those luxury sedans and SUVs that aren’t selling as well need to be moved off the lot to make room for inventory … Read the rest

Car Care Resolutions

So, how are your resolutions going? It’s been a few months, and those New Year’s resolutions may have fallen to the wayside. While that unused gym membership wasn’t cheap, neglecting your vehicle’s maintenance can be really costly. April is National Car Care Month, and a great way to get back into a schedule that works.

Here are a few tips from the Car Care Council.

  1. Regular oil changes. Remember, we do not have sloppily built engines running junk oil anymore. Today’s precision machining, tighter build tolerances, and high-tech oil allow longer intervals between oil changes. Still, it does need to be changed on time. Check your owner’s manual for recommendations, and go with a name brand oil filter.
  2. Get the brakes checked. The only thing stopping your vehicle is friction. Eventually, the brakes will wear out, and obviously, that

The Physics of Driving

car approaching stop signGetting behind the wheel of a car involves a variety of thoughts. Drivers consider their destination, the route they will take, how weather, traffic, and construction projects may impact their arrival time, whether their seat, steering wheel and mirrors are properly adjusted and whether they have everything they need to bring with them. They may also worry about their seat belts, passengers, and what music is playing.

Very few people realize that by sitting in the driver’s seat, they are engaging in an exercise in physics.

Within a few weeks of beginning to drive, the act becomes almost rote.  We don’t have to think about how much pressure to apply to the accelerator to get a smooth ride or how soon we need to begin braking as we approach a stop sign.  The more years we spend on the road … Read the rest

Toyota & GM Recall Thousands of Cars

Best New Cars for 2014

Lemon Laws for cars

Buyer’s remorse is common enough in a consumer society, but what happens when someone invests their hard-earned money in a car, truck, or motorcycle that fails to perform properly? This is the reason states have “lemon laws.”

Back in 1975 the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provided protection for Americans who purchased cars or other vehicles that fail to meet performance and quality standards. Every state now has its own set of laws and acts that protect car buyers and, while each has its own name, they are collectively referred to as lemon laws.

A lemon law usually addresses failures on the part of the manufacturer of the vehicle.  The Federal law covers mechanical failure or breakdown and holds the manufacturer liable not only for the cost of repairing or replacing the car, SUV, or other vehicle, but for the legal costs … Read the rest

Southwest Law, Highways and Byways

phoenix azBoth Arizona and Nevada share some striking similarities, as well as some vast differences. The similarities are perhaps greater, however, as they also characterize the states, and make them part of a unique configuration that’s known as the southwest. Native peoples have occupied the lands for thousands of years, making up a large part of the rich history here. In Phoenix, where the canal system is based on something the Hohokam constructed hundreds of years ago, there are signs everywhere of human presence that predated the origins of the city proper. In Nevada, the history is very similar, where there are multiple cultures making up the cities, themselves based on older civilizations.

The characterization of the southwest as a young place in terms of the history of the country, then, is perhaps rather unfair. Or perhaps it simply points out … Read the rest

KLRU Schedule | Dangerous Edge: A Life Of Graham Greene

This film is a portrait of a writer Graham Greene. It explores how Greene's life both inspired great writing and drove him to attempt suicide. He was a British spy, a doubting Catholic, and a manic-depressive who wrote critically-acclaimed, best- selling novels, including The Quiet American, Brighton Rock, The End of the Affair and The Third Man. This documentary weaves Greene's novels and movies into the story of his life: the struggle between good and evil... love and betrayal; it reveals an extraordinary man who traveled the globe to escape the boredom of ordinary existence and became a writer addicted to danger. The film is a journey in search of Greene's most elusive character: himself. Sir Derek Jacobi narrates the film and actor Bill Nighy reads from Greene's writing. Other major participants include novelist and screenwriter Sir John Mortimer, novelist and former SIS agent John Le Carre, award-winning literary critic and novelist David Lodge, acclaimed writer Paul Theroux, former CIA operative and author of The Great Game Frederick Hitz, Greene's wife, Vivien, and his daughter Caroline Bourget.

Assembly Favors Road Improvements on CIP List PDF Print E-mail

            Last night the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly passed its state legislative capital improvement projects priority list for the 2014 legislative session, but it was a different list than the assembly saw two weeks ago. During assembly discussion Assemblyman Mel Stephens moved to amend the list, bumping the number six item to number three, and letting the other items change accordingly.
            Number six asks the state for $5 million to put toward service area road paving and improvements.
            “I make that motion because I basically agree with the comments of Scott Arndt and Dennis Symmons concerning the priorities here. I think service area road and paving improvements should be a higher priority than they have been in the past. I think they benefit a greater portion of the people than some of the other items that were above number six on this list.”
            One of those items asks for $500,000 to look at extending public utilities to swampy acres. The project would be a public/private partnership and cater to the possibility that additional Coast Guard housing could be built in that area, which currently has no water or sewer lines. Stevens said he is against that project, which was originally number three on the CIP list.
            Assemblyman Aaron Griffin, however, said that should remain on the list because it is intended to help offset some of the housing problems here in Kodiak. He said the one complaint he hears consistently from Kodiak community members is the high cost of housing.

            “By placing this study so high on our list this is our attempt to get in front of that. We are trying to address the fact that there is a lack of open land that has access to public water and utilities that could be easily developable into a high density housing that would be affordable to our middle to low income residents. Quite frankly there isn’t a whole lot out there now, there isn’t anybody who is making less than six figures who could hope to buy a home that’s worth living in. Unless we take proactive action to make this happen it won’t happen.”

             Assemblyman Tuck Bonney said he agreed with making the service district roads higher on the list, and felt the money would be better spent on paving local roads.
             “The road going out to Monashka, I forgot where I was but I was talking to some people and I made a special trip out there because they told me the roads were so bad. And the roads were really bad. They’re bad enough I’m amazed that the school buses can get through there sometimes with the pot holes and stuff. While I do support both projects I do think the service district area is more important to me personally than the swampy acres project.”
              Assemblywoman Carol Austerman said she supported the change, which would bump the swampy acres project down to number four. She said the project should definitely stay on the CIP list because, like Griffin, she felt it would help solve some of Kodiak’s housing problems.
             “The only way that we can actually get something done is to do something. And if we continue to just put things off and wait, wait, well maybe someone else will do something first, I don’t think that’s the way for us to address the problems that we have in this community. We have to take some sort of step forward. So I’m very much in support of having this on our CIP list.”
             The first two items on the list are the Phase III of the Kodiak Landfill lateral and the Monashka Bay water and sewer project feasibility, planning and design. The borough is requesting $3 million and $500,000 from the state for those projects, respectively.
              The list will now be sent off to Governor Sean Parnell and Alaska legislators for the 2014 legislative session.

I have run K&N air filters for as long as I can remember. Always had good luck with them and I've usually picked up about 1 to 1 1/2 miles per gallon. Just have to watch you don't over oil it with all the electronics in the newer vehicles.

40 years ago Judy convinced me that I could make a Lopi sweater for my son leaving for college. He is now 59 years old and while I was visiting him in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving he asked if I could mend that sweater. I took a picture of it and will take it up to the store to show Adam (and hopefully Judy if she is there). I believe I was one of the very early customers at the Stitchery and made several other Lopi sweaters as well as many other projects in the years that followed ! 1211/2013

Stocked from floor to ceiling with yarns! Not much in the way of ambience but you won't be disappointed with the yarns, accessories and helpful staff.

by Ann Marie P on Wednesday, Jul 06 2011 at 08:23PM PDT

I've been buying yarn at the Stitchery in Pearl River since my kids were infants. They have kids of their own now and I'm buying yarn here for my grandchildren. Their selection is fabulous and their customer service is second to none. And if you need help, they are there for you. I've tried one or two other "yarn" stores and they always try to sell you something that you don't want. Adam and Judy are the best!

OMG, this place is heaven. They should have bibs for the people walking in off the street. There is so much wonderful yarn, in great variety, from floor to ceiling like an old time yarn shop. Adam and a very helpful assistant both exhibited terrific customer service, and were very generous with their ideas and suggestions, not just pushing their higher priced products. I only wish I had a tenth of their experience and knowledge as well as their memory!

Besides the sheer volume of types of yarn, they carry yarn at different price points so that everyone can afford to knit. There is very little in this shop that you might find in chain craft stores, which adds to the allure. If you are a pattern junkie, and who isn't, they seem to carry every yarn booklet and book imagineable. And bag handles! Adam is a prolific and talented felter, and carries many different types of handles that can really make a bag special without making a trip into NYC or knit convention.

The Stitchery is definitely the first place I would go for any project, and it's by no means the closest in miles.

by Anonymous on Monday, Jan 19 2009 at 08:16AM PST

Adam and his mother will take the time to advise you on yarns, suggest substitutes, and find yarns for that dream that you want to knit. I've been using their shop for at least 15 years and have always been satisfied.

by anne14 on Sunday, Sep 07 2008 at 05:13AM PDT

Great old time yarn store....I think 35 yrs in existence. The owner, Adam, has an unbelievable color sense! Whether you are looking for a current pattern or something vintage, they seem to have it.

by shand302 on Saturday, Aug 02 2008 at 06:05AM PDT

Great store.
Adam is amazing. He has a great eye for color and texture combinations.
Always a fun visit!

by knitwit2323 on Monday, Feb 25 2008 at 04:01PM PST

Great cluttered shop with so many choices! The owners are super helpful and Adam has a mind like a steel trap.
Even though they don't carry all the yarns in some of the patterns in the magazines they have a zillion substitutes to choose from!

View Full Version : Various WIP's

09-20-2007, 01:09 PM
Here are the projects that were mainly completed this past month. That is in the last 30 days.

The white cable project is my slowest project going since I only knit on it after I've knit something else to get my tension correct. And I have to be able to do at least 8 rows or more to keep my place right. But it is the front of a vest and this section is basically 3/4's finished. I plan to have it done by the end of October so I need to work on it more.

But the kid's sweaters come first!

In this next shot I've tried to show you why sometimes it is important to get your RS/WS correct for casting on. This is a long tail cast on and the Ribbing was started on the second row. By doing this, when following the pattern you can see how the inner cables came nicely of the ribbing and it looks very tidy.

Here is the Baby Bolero from the One Skein Book:

And here is the Double Moss sweater I am working on for my DD. The gray sweater above is for my DS and is all knitted but needs making up.

The Back: I like how it is almost argyle looking...

The Front

Hopefully that has worked. I am somewhat apologetic about the picture quality. I just installed the hardware on the computer and seem to have neglected installing an important editing program. Its the only one I know how to use.

09-20-2007, 01:33 PM
I love them all. The bolero is extremely beautiful.

Great work!

09-20-2007, 01:59 PM
:woohoo:Beautiful work! Love the baby bolero--I have the one skein book-I'll have to try that one! Your cable project is FANTASTIC!!!:yay: Great idea about the cast on/ribbing--I'm gonna steal it!:mrgreen:

09-20-2007, 02:00 PM
Hey is that your floor, or do you have a gorgeous big wooden table to work on?

09-20-2007, 02:12 PM
:) That is my floor, but my Grandfather sold me his table and I also have a very large beautiful wooden table to work on as well. But then I'd have to stand on a chair to take the pictures.

Thanks for the compliments. :muah:

09-20-2007, 02:14 PM
:woohoo:Beautiful work! Love the baby bolero--I have the one skein book-I'll have to try that one! Your cable project is FANTASTIC!!!:yay: Great idea about the cast on/ribbing--I'm gonna steal it!:mrgreen:
I just wanted to say I was not the most fond of how she did the ribbing on that Baby Bolero. Not fond at all.

It does look cute but... I find it a bit... off... I can't put my finger on it other than she has too many sts picked up for the space given. And I did knit it to her specifications.

But it is a great knit and knits up fast. It took me about 6 hours of knitting.

09-20-2007, 03:33 PM
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_5_104.gif Everything looks great can't wait to see everything done.

09-21-2007, 06:17 PM
It look wonderful!! :blooby:

09-22-2007, 08:38 AM
Wow! You've got a lot done! I love the colorway on the pink sweater -- what yarn is that? I can't wait to see pics of the FO's (perhaps modeled by their recipients?)

09-22-2007, 02:17 PM
Wow! What nice work! :notworthy: I just love that little baby sweater thing! Is the pattern somewhere I can get it, or do I need to purchase a book?
I'd love to try and knit it for my new grand babies. (I have recently been blessed with 2 grand babies, both boys).

09-23-2007, 06:45 AM
Wow, you've been busy! Everything is looking really good. :yay:

09-23-2007, 12:30 PM
Thank you so much!

Okay... the pink... well, here is my confession, I live very close to the factory that makes Patons, Bernat, Lily, Sugar Cone, and so many more yarns. I went to the tent sale and... it was 10 cents a pound.

It is an experimental colour ways that my daughter is just in love with. So my apologies but you can't buy it.

I am on the Oregon Coast and we got snow and still have it. It's been in the 20's here the past two days, which is unusual. It gets cold during the winter here but never this cold. To see snow on our sand dunes is very strange.

jodstr, I used to live in California before I moved up here. I noticed you said south bay area, do you mean the San Jose area? I used to live the Gilroy area and work in San Jose.

Disgraced ex-judge demands Knoxville trial

A disgraced Knox County judge is insisting he be tried on federal charges by a jury selected from East Tennessee.

Former Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner's push for a jury pool from the Knoxville region of U.S. District Court had the Greeneville-based federal judge tapped to handle the case worried about seating an unbiased panel Monday. However, U.S. District Judge Ronnie Greer warned that he would not delay the upcoming trial more than a week or so should a jury not be seated in Knoxville.

"In the event we cannot seat a jury in Knoxville … I would request jurors from the North Eastern District (which includes upper East Tennessee counties)."

Baumgartner's defenders, Donald A. Bosch and Ann Short, and his accusers, Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Lewen and Zachary Bolitho, met Monday in Greer's Greeneville courtroom to hammer out details of Baumgartner's Oct. 23 trial on seven charges of misprision of a felony. He is accused of lying about his pill-supplying mistress' misdeeds to cover up a federal pill-pushing conspiracy of which prosecutors say he was a part.

Greer said Monday he is summoning 100 potential jurors — well over the number normally called for potential service — in hopes of having a large enough pool to ferret out those prejudiced by the media coverage of both Baumgartner's own criminal misdeeds and the resulting chaos in the Knox County judicial system. That chaos has included the upending of convictions in one of Knoxville's most horrific criminal cases — the January 2007 torture slayings of Channon Christian, 21, and Christopher Newsom, 23.

Bosch and Short are asking Greer to require potential jurors to submit answers in advance of the trial to a detailed questionnaire that asks them, among other things, whether they've ever been involved in a divorce situation.

"That's awfully personal," Greer responded.

Lewen added, "I think this is going to be cumbersome and intrusive."

Greer said he would give Baumgartner's attorneys until later this week to file a motion backing up their request for both questionnaires and individual polling of potential jurors.

Greer made it clear, however, that he will lead the effort to ferret out bias among potential jurors.

"To the extent, those questions will be asked, it will be done more deliberately and less intrusively," Greer said.

Baumgartner stepped down from the bench in January 2011 amid a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe into allegations he bought pills from a felon on probation in his court, doctor-shopped to get opiate-based painkillers and used a graduate of the Drug Court program he helped found for sex and pills. A News Sentinel investigation also showed he demanded pills from workers in his court.

He pleaded guilty in March 2011 to a single count of official misconduct for buying pills from the felon. No mention was made of the other allegations against him, and he was granted judicial diversion, which spared him jail time and his pension.

The U.S. attorney's office successfully sought an indictment against him earlier this year on charges involving his mistress. His efforts to have the case tossed out have failed.

Wizards mark ’78, Wall has 37 in win over Pacers

Posted at: 04/06/2013 8:05 PM

(AP) WASHINGTON - On a night when the Washington Wizards celebrated the 35th anniversary of the franchise’s only championship, John Wall played like someone who might someday carry on that legacy, scoring 37 points in a display of speed and flair Saturday to lead the Washington Wizards to a 104-85 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Wall made 16 of 25 shots, throwing his palms up after making an improbable 14-foot sideways runner and flexing his muscles to the fans on the first row after banking in a fast-break layup. He even blocked a layup attempt by Roy Hibbert, the 6-foot-4 point guard rising to swat the ball away from the 7-foot-2 Pacers center.

Wall also had five assists, four rebounds and two blocks for the lottery-bound Wizards, who have won nine straight at home and are 18-4 at the Verizon Center this season when he’s on the floor.

They were especially motivated to put on a good show Saturday night, with Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes and the other members of the 1978 team on hand for a halftime celebration in which a new, larger banner was raised and the franchise, at least one more time, was again known as the Bullets.

"You don’t want to lose on a night like this," Wall said before the game.

The Wizards also spoiled a title celebration for the Pacers, who failed for the second night in a row to get the win they need to clinch their first Central Division crowd in nine years. Indiana also fell two games behind the New York Knicks in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Hibbert had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers, who went cold at the start of the second half. The Wizards took a 51-48 halftime lead and turned it into 63-48, with Wall scoring half of the points in the 12-0 run while Indiana was going 4:15 without a point. The Pacers didn’t get closer than seven the rest of the game.

No one on the Wizards roster was born when the Bullets won their title. Before the game, five players in the locker room _ Wall, Bradley Beal, Trevor Booker, Garrett Temple and A.J. Price _ had no clue about the relevance of the phrase "The opera ain’t over until the fat lady sings," unable to identify it as the catchphrase associated with the Bullets’ seven-game series win over the Seattle SuperSonics in the finals.

But Wall nevertheless put on a show, scooting downcourt to make a behind-the-back move in front of George Hill for a layup in the first quarter and cradling the ball like a running back while drawing a foul and making a layup in the second. There was also the sequence in which Wall stole the ball from Hibbert, raced downcourt and threw down a flying one-hander while drawing a foul from Paul George.

Wall didn’t play when the Wizards went 0-3 against the Pacers earlier this season because he was out until early January with a knee injury. Indiana coach Frank Vogel made his players acutely aware of that fact before the game.

"I wrote on the board this morning: `He’s a difference maker,’" Vogel said.

Notes: Hayes on the halftime celebration: "If you don’t win a championship, you’re always governed by that. Because they’ll say `Well, you’re a great player,’ like Charles Barkley or Karl Malone have to go through. They’ll say, `You’re a great player but you didn’t win.’ So this really put the cherry and the cap on our careers to make people say, `Hey, these guys are winners, these guys are great players.’" ... Hayes also wasn’t impressed by the Wizards’ recent winning spurt. "You’re getting a few wins right now, but you’re not going anyplace," he said. "Plus you’re losing the draft choices."

Pup named Huckleberry crowned ’Beautiful Bulldog’

Posted at: 04/23/2013 3:05 PM

(AP) DES MOINES, Iowa - If at first you don’t succeed, wipe the slobber off and try again.

Just ask 4-year-old pup Huckleberry, who was crowned Monday as this year’s "Beautiful Bulldog."

Huckleberry competed for the title in 2010, only to walk away empty-pawed. That changed this year, when he strutted down a blue runway at Drake University in Des Moines dressed in a beige suit as the main character from the movie "Forrest Gump."

"He’s just a lover," said his owner, Stephanie Hein, as Huckleberry sat next to his miniature basketball toy and a suitcase similar to one owned by Forrest Gump.

The contest is now in its 34th year and is held ahead of the annual Drake Relays track and field meet. The university’s mascot is a bulldog, and each year’s winner becomes the mascot for the relays event.

Huckleberry beat 46 other bulldogs to don the crown and cape, and competition was stiff. There was a bulldog dressed as a "Thing" character by Dr. Seuss, another wore an eye patch and fake hoop earring to match his pirate-dressed owner. Diva, donning a tutu, took home the prize for best dressed.

Huckleberry seemed unfazed by all the attention, more interested in a dog-friendly cake that’s served annually from the gold-painted throne. He threw in a few slobbered kisses to his owners.

When not competing, Huckleberry likes to cuddle and hang out with a girlfriend bulldog who lives nearby, according to Hein and her husband, Steven.

Huckleberry wore a Mohawk when he initially competed in 2010. But Stephanie Hein spent weeks shrinking and sowing together this year’s outfit, which included a blue-checkered T-Shirt similar to the one worn by Forrest Gump.

"He was just a puppy then," she said of his first attempt. "But he’s certainly grown into himself now."

UK Royals Condemn Plans to Publish Kate Pics

By: AP Email
By: AP Email

LONDON (AP) - Royal officials in Britain have expressed disappointment that paparazzi shots of Prince William and his wife on a beach holiday in the Caribbean may be published by an Italian magazine.

St. James's Palace said Tuesday that publishing the photos would be a "clear breach of the couple's right to privacy."

The photos reportedly show the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge - the former Kate Middleton - wearing a bikini and strolling on a beach with William on the island of Mustique.

The Italian gossip magazine Chi was reportedly planning to publish the pictures.

Last year, William and Kate went to court over a French gossip magazine's publication of topless photos of the duchess while the couple was on a holiday in the south of France.

Holiday Over, Some Already Recycling Christmas Trees

Christmas is barely over. The living room cleared of gift wrappings, Now comes the next chore--the tree, taking it down and getting rid of it.

While many leave the tree up for a week or so, clinging to the holiday spirit, others are moving on.

With that green tree rapidly drying out, leaving needles on the carpet and becoming a fire hazard, the question becomes what comes next.

For the past 22 years, the responsible answer has been to recycle through a program sponsored by NV Energy and coordinated by Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful.

Trees taken to their pick up locations don't end up in the landfill, they are chipped, ground into mulch and used in area parks.

Wednesday, the program was up and operating in three different locations Bartley Ranch, Rancho San Rafael and the Shadow Mountain Sports Complex in Sparks.

The locations are manned by volunteers, many of them from the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Some have been doing this for years.

"We're trying to keep things green," says volunteer and Girl Scout leader Kristen DeHaan, "We've enjoyed coming for this for the past seven years since my girls were in the First Grade to recycle the Christmas trees. It's really fun."

The locations will be open 9am-4:30 pm through Sunday January 13.

Sixth Grader Gets New Bike After Getting Robbed

SPARKS, Nev. -- A 12-year-old boy got the surprise of his life at school Wednesday, when just last Thursday, he was robbed and beaten up by two teens. The community came together to make this sixth-grader's day.

Wednesday was one of the best days in Montana Abolina's life, but it wasn't all smiles last week when he was confronted by Julian Padilla, 19, and a juvenile who knocked him down and stole his prized possession--his bike--in an area he goes to play often.

"What was scary, I almost died that night," Abolinas said.

It's a mother's worst nightmare to get a phone call saying her child is hurt.

"I didn't know what to think, I just looked at my friend and thought, 'oh my god' we have to go'," Melissa Abolinas, Montana's mother said. "It scared me to death and I don't know why they would do such a thing."

Although scared, Montana still found the courage to do the right thing.

"Wouldn't you do the same thing, run away from them?" He asked.

To show him there is more to the community than the bad, the Kiwanis Club came together to give him the one thing he loved the most--a brand new bike.

"Unfortunately, bad things happen in our community...but to be able to show that out of bad things we continue to get through them and good things come to us," Kelly Keane, Jerry Whitehead principal said.

For Montana Abolinas, the new bike is a sign of hope.

"Thank you for giving me a new bike, I appreciate it and I was pretty upset I lost my bike, but now I'm happy with this one," he said.

Even after traumatic experience, teachers say Montana still comes to school every day with a smile on his face and a positive attitude, knowing that very little can separate a boy from his bike.

Seahawks' LB Arrested for Marijuana Possession

By: AP Email
By: AP Email

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill apologized after his weekend arrest in the Atlanta area for investigation of misdemeanor marijuana possession.

In a statement Monday, Hill said he's embarrassed by the
Saturday morning arrest "and the poor judgment I showed." And he
added, "Please understand my actions were not consistent with the
type of person I hope to become."

Sgt. Dwayne Taylor of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office says
the 26-year-old Hill was arrested early Saturday morning in the
suburban Atlanta county. Taylor said Hill had apparently fallen
asleep behind the wheel at a major intersection.

Taylor said officers found less than one ounce of marijuana in
the vehicle. Hill was released after posting a $1,500 bond.

Seahawks President Tim Ruskell said Monday, "We are a team
always striving for good, consistent character, so it is
disappointing when something like this happens."

Hill made 84 tackles in 12 games, but missed the final four
games of the season due to a pinched nerve in his neck. The
four-year veteran is scheduled to become a free agent next month.

No. 7 Indiana Routs Penn State

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Victor Oladipo scored 19 points, and Yogi Ferrell added a season-high 15 to help No. 7 Indiana rout Penn State 72-49 on Wednesday night.

The Hoosiers (17-2, 5-1 Big Ten) survived a sluggish shooting first half with strong defense and used a fast second-half start to reassert their dominance in this series.

D.J. Newbill had 18 points and Jermaine Marshall finished with 12 to lead Penn State (8-11, 0-7), which has lost seven straight overall and 12 straight on the road in league play.

It wasn't pretty.

While limiting Penn State to 29.6 percent shooting in the first half, Indiana used runs of 7-0, 8-2 and 12-5 to take a 33-19 lead.

The Hoosiers wasted no time taking control in the second half, going on an 8-0 spurt in the first 65 seconds to extend the lead to 41-19. Penn State couldn't get closer than 17 points the rest of the way.
