Longboat Key Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2009 8 years ago

Letters to the Editor

+ Key Club project would help entire island

Dear Editor:
My wife and I are full-time residents of Longboat Key, and we both work full-time, sometimes making the trip into Sarasota through St. Armands several times a day. As a result, we are familiar with the traffic flow at all times of the day, month and year. Although there is obviously more traffic from January through Easter, the traffic is by no means a hardship. Arguing against the expansion of the Longboat Key Club based on traffic concerns is a red herring, as is the nonsensical argument about spoiled views.

By my count, in the aerial photograph on page 5B in the June 18 Longboat Observer, there are at least 18 high-rise condos/hotels. Having two more on the property of the Key Club isn’t going to spoil anyone’s view. If that were true, then the 18 that are already standing would be empty because of no view to either the north or south due to the proximity of the adjacent high-rises.If we want to “keep Longboat, Longboat,” then we have to attract investment to maintain Longboat as a premier location to visit and in which to live.

This is a resort-oriented island and we should welcome, applaud even, the willingness of the Key Club to invest $400 million in the community where we live.

Having one Colony Beach & Tennis Resort on the island is already problematic. We don’t need two Colonies on Longboat Key when the rest of the world’s resort-oriented properties are doing everything they can to attract more visitors.

For the record, we are not members of the Key Club and are not golfers. We are residents who welcome the investment in our island. Obviously, the master plan should comprehend the traffic and view issues and minimize their impact as much as possible. However, to argue against a $400 million investment based on traffic and views is short-sighted.Come on, Longboat, let’s figure out how to make this work.

Tom and Kim Freiwald

“I did not choose to be President Michael Sata’s son”: Mulenga says not riding on his father’s presidency

Filed under: Statements |

Mulenga-sataLUSAKA mayor Mulenga Sata says he did not choose to be President Michael Sata’s son.
Reacting to complaints from fellow contenders in tomorrow’s Local Government Association of Zambia elections, that he is riding on President Sata’s position to contest the association’s presidency, Mulenga said his father had no influence on him politically.
“We don’t choose to be born who we are. These things just happen, it is an accident of birth. I did not ask to be born who I am. But what is incumbent upon me is to use what is available to me to the best of my ability. I think what I have done is try not to ride too much on the brand of the President,” he said.
“I think from the time I have been councillor, I have done my utmost to assert myself. The President casts a very big shadow. It is something that I can’t fight, it is what it is. You know some people are born to run fast, others are born playing great golf. For me, I was born a son of a politician.”
Mulenga said he has never been asked to join politics by his father but that it was something he took upon himself.
He said being a politician comes with its own challenges because everything he did weighed in respect that he was the President’s son.
Mulenga said people who had worked with him had seen the value of his leadership and that he had the democratic right to contest any position in the country.
He said had never been appointed to any position and all the positions he was currently holding were obtained through elections.
“In the two years that I have been in the council, people have worked with me and to see what value I have in my own right. I am not asking for a free ride in this election. I think to date, all the positions that I have vied for have been elected positions. I have not been appointed to any position. Even this position that I am vying for is an elected position and mind you the local government association is comprised of the 103 councils, which are not all PF councils. We have MMD and UPND. The position that I am vying for cuts across all party lines and all I am asking for is a validation from the family of local government practitioners,” he said.
And commenting on his earlier statement that he had a lot of commitments and would not going to contest the LGAZ presidency, Mulenga said he had not thought before issuing the statement.
He said he was not pushed by anyone to contest the LGAZ presidency because he had an independent mind to do things.
He also said there was a lot of inefficiencies in the local authorities and it was high time he took up the responsibilities of helping the councils to become self-sustaining and independent in aspects of development.
And Ndola mayor Samuel Muthali said he was ready to stand against Mulenga.
“I am not intimidated to stand against Mulenga Sata. It gives me more strength to stand with what you may say a big name. To me as a council, a mayor and a member of PF, I think we have equal chances. I equally qualify. I am not intimidated at all. It is actually a good race,” he said.
He said he had a lot of support from other councils in the country and that he did not travel all the way to Solwezi to go and lose an election.
Meanwhile, current president Daniel Chisenga said he was re-contesting the position because he felt he still needed to help councillors.
Chisenga also said he was disappointed that some candidates have gone with thugs to intimidate other participants.

Tamarisk Hunter

I just came across an old F&SF and read “The Tamarisk Hunter” by Paolo Bacigalupi (Fantasy and Science Fiction, May 2007). It’s easily one of the better stories I’ve read in a long time… A fine farmpunk tale, since reprinted ever as it crossed into mainstream republication. Now I have to go check out his book.

Buildings not only convey their physical characteristics, but also symbolic values attributable to experiences and memories, including what we imagine and what we know.

In the case of a house, the bond between the user and the building represents a relationship that gains in symbolic value with everyday use.

Urban beach home in Barcelona, Spain by Egue y Seta

Tuesday, April 11th, 2017

Article source: Egue y Seta

Whether you like it or not, Barcelona, for many non-locals, is also, a beach. A beach bathing the shores of an open-air museum, a coast line bursting with tapas bars and the seafront of a real city with its very own customs and history. But always, even more so during the summer, a beach. A beach that attracts real estate investors who want to turn the whole into a touristic resort, but also a spot that catches the eye and stills the heart of young couples in love that, in the antipodes of the above, try to capture the very essence of the Barcelonian´s way of life in a few square meters with a view to turn them into their own summer private retreat. This was the case of Jacques and Hannes and their cozy little flat in the heart of the traditional fisherman´s neighborhood of La Barceloneta.

Grid in Japan by Satoshi Kurosaki / APOLLO Architects & Associates

Article source: Satoshi Kurosaki / APOLLO Architects & Associates

The client for this project has a large art collection, and wanted to start a new chapter in life with his family in a house with museum-like qualities that would take advantage of this collection. The neighborhood surrounding the site is quiet, so in order to keep noise to a minimum and not create an intrusive feeling, we proposed a single-story reinforced concrete structure. Like the exterior, the interior features a monochrome color scheme that serves as a good background for artwork. The building and finishing materials were also carefully selected and kept to a minimum, giving the spaces an austere atmosphere.

Article source: pRchitect communications consultancy

Walking along the Istanbul Moda coastline there is a building which is striking by its architecture. The V shaped capsules on the facade derives the attention. Being curious about the outlook of the building, we were lucky as architects to get the chance to do the interior of the apartment. Considering the location and the view that the building has, the apartment floor is predominant to the vista of Istanbul the first intervention that was thought of was having the facade as transparent as possible.

Black Flying House in Czech Republic by H3T Architekti

Sunday, April 9th, 2017

Article source: BoysPlayNice

Black flying house hovers under the arch of the old railway bridge. Attracts attention, entices you to visit and raises questions. Black flying house is an installation which is composed of a living room with a stove and a sleeping loft. The object is suspended by steel cables. The installation includes also a ladder that is hidden nearby. It’s a bit of a conundrum that encourages passers-by to think. Its archetypal depiction adds the mysterious atmosphere of the military complex. This area is located just 15 minutes walking from the city centre of town Pardubice, Czech Republic. The formal solution is succinct. The resulting picture almost picturesque.

Parterre One is located in Kaserne Basel, a heritage protected ensemble in the heart of Basel. Kaserne used to be military barracks and has been converted into a cultural hub for the last 50 years, since the army left. Our client had a new vision for his corner: he had a restaurant, a bar, and a venue that were next to each other but never worked together. Our mission was to make one cultural and leisure pole with the three of them.  Within this frame the project became an architectural geode: an existing building with refreshed facades and a surprising interior around a thunderbolt gallery.

The project fits into a small plot in a highly inclined terrain overlooking the Geneva Lake. It is a urban plot where it is allowed a building of 4 levels above the floor of the garage. The shape of the building comes from the need to rework an existing project according to the Swiss town planning regulations: the result was an irregular and faceted prism.

ASLA Highlights New Case Studies Promoting Benefits of Sustainable Landscape Design

Washington, D.C., January 5, 2016 — The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) announced a newly expanded and now mobile-friendly version of its  Designing Our Future: Sustainable Landscapes online exhibition that highlights real-world examples of sustainable landscape design and its positive effects on the environment and quality of life. These spaces use natural systems to provide ecosystem services, transform untapped assets into vital community spaces and create new economic opportunities — they ultimately provide significant environmental, social and economic value.

Ten new case studies that range from a coastal ecological restoration project to a volunteer-run urban farm illustrate just what sustainable landscapes are and how they provide important benefits on a variety of scales. In the process, the case studies, written in clear, understandable language, also introduce users to what exactly landscape architects do.

The new case studies were carefully selected to show a diversity of landscape types and scales and reflect geographical diversity. There are now a total of 40 case studies.

New case studies include:

Burbank Water & Power Eco-campus, Burbank, California, a sustainable landscape for employees and visitors in the midst of a working power plant.

Drs. Julian and Raye Richardson Apartments, San Francisco, California, a safe and welcoming apartment complex, with beautiful design elements, for the chronically homeless.

Lafayette Greens, Detroit, Michigan, a volunteer-run urban farm in downtown Detroit where 800 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables are grown every year.

Living BreakwatersNew York, New York, an innovative coastal ecological restoration project that won $60 million in the Rebuild by Design competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Pete V. Domenici U.S. Courthouse Sustainable Landscape Renovation, Albuquerque, New Mexico, an underused plaza that has become a model of sustainable landscape design in the desert.

Quarry Garden, Shanghai, China, a derelict, polluted quarry that was transformed into a garden visited by more than three million people in its first year.

Sherbourne Common, Toronto, Canada, a multi-functional park and wastewater treatment plant that includes an underground ultraviolet (UV) water purification system.

The Steel Yard, Providence, Rhode Island, an abandoned steel manufacturing facility that has become a beloved community arts space.

Sunnylands Center and Gardens, Rancho Mirage, California, an extension to the Annenberg Estate that captures every drop of stormwater, with some collected in underground cisterns for later use.

Woodland Discovery Playground, Memphis, Tennessee, an immersion in nature play for children that features surfaces made of recycled athletic shoes.

The website also includes 30 other case studies;  10 animations created by Daniel Tal, ASLA, using Google Sketchup; and companion  sustainability education resources that enable users to explore sustainable design concepts in greater depth.

Designing Our Future: Sustainable Landscapes was originally made possible with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).

High-resolution images are available for journalists. Please contact Karen Grajales at Email Contact.

About the American Society of Landscape Architects

Founded in 1899, ASLA is the national professional association for landscape architects, representing more than 15,000 members in 49 professional chapters and 72 student chapters. Members of the Society use "ASLA" after their names to denote membership and their commitment to the highest ethical standards of the profession. Landscape architects lead the stewardship, planning and design of our built and natural environments; the Society’s mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education and fellowship.

Panzura Recognizes Top Projects From AEC Customers in Panzura Customer Innovation Awards

CAMPBELL, CA -- (Marketwired) -- Feb 18, 2016 -- Today, Panzura®, leading the charge in removing the barrier to the cloud, announced the winners of the inaugural Panzura Customer Innovation Award, highlighting advanced projects that conveyed a unique use of cloud technology to drive innovation. Recipients include projects from Thomas & Hutton, Entuitive, NELSON and OHM Advisors. Each project was selected by a panel of judges from more than 50 entries this year. The AEC firms used a combination of Panzura's Global File System Controller and a cloud storage partner like Amazon Web Services to provide users across distributed locations collaborative access to files.

The following projects were selected based on achieving project innovation and impactful business results using cloud storage technology to collaborate across offices:

  • First place was awarded to NELSON for the project "GAF Campus"
    GAF, N.A., North America's largest roofing manufacturer, enlisted NELSON to design their new corporate campus, a 377,000 square foot location in Parsippany, NJ. This project was not only commissioned to create a new innovative, scalable workspace, but to redefine their identity. NELSON collaborated across four locations in New York City, Harrisburg/Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles, using multiple applications, including Revit, AutoCAD, Sketchup, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop, to complete this project in just six months.
  • Second place was given to OHM Advisors for the project "Newark Streetscape and Transportation Plan"
    OHM Advisors led the planning and design for an innovative and unique streetscape and transportation improvement project in historic downtown Newark, including a complete roadway reconfiguration, which required the OHM team to utilize resources from three offices to provide the insight needed to seamlessly deliver a successful project. This project not only updated the city's aging infrastructure, but also reimagined the look and function of the downtown to drive economic development.
  • A third place tie was shared between Entuitive's Project "Calgary New Central Library" and Thomas & Hutton's project "Seneca Rail Site"
    A significant amount of engineering innovation is behind the design and construction of this new landmark civic building which incorporates striking signature design. It is being constructed over one of Calgary's busiest LRT lines, which required special efforts to avoid any disruption to the existing service. Panzura is one of the single most important technology enablers of Entuitive's 'One Company' philosophy and allowed them to collaborate between their two geographically dispersed teams. Applications included: Tekla, Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, AutoCAD, CSI Suite of analysis tools, MS Office, Blue Beam Revu and Navisworks Manage.

    Thomas & Hutton worked to create an innovative 3D video depicting a flythrough of the rendered site. The video was shown to the prospective client so they could envision how their plant would look. It acted as part of a recruitment effort by Oconee County and the South Carolina Department of Commerce to bring high quality manufacturing jobs and investment to the area. Using applications from Autodesk Civil 3D to Adobe Creative Suite to Sketchup, they used Panzura to share the incredibly large files instantaneously.

"We are honored to award these high-caliber projects through Panzura's Customer Innovation Awards. These forward-thinking companies and the projects they accomplished clearly demonstrate a growing demand for innovation and speed in the AEC industry," said Barry Phillips, chief marketing officer at Panzura. "It's more important than ever that architects and engineers are able to work together across distributed locations to take advantage of the scale and economics provided by cloud storage. A strategy based on cloud computing demonstrates that this is achievable: project members can span the entire globe but feel that they work in a single location."

About Panzura
Panzura makes the cloud seamless by solving the last mile of hybrid cloud. By making the file system transparent across the cloud and corporate datacenters as well as eliminating the barriers of connectivity and authentication with the cloud, Panzura enables applications to run without a single change in the cloud, on-premises, or both.

Panzura transforms the cloud into another corporate datacenter, transparently blending the scale and economics of the cloud with the performance and flexibility of the corporate datacenter.

Macnica Americas Announces Availability of the Version 2.0 Update for the Mpression Odyssey MAX® 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit

Firmware Update Adds Powerful Data Processing and Control Capability

SAN DIEGO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 16, 2016 — Macnica Americas today announced availability the Version 2.0 update for the Mpression Odyssey MAX® 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit and companion smartphone apps for Android and iOS. This update adds powerful data processing and control capability that can be used to create custom personalities that manipulate and store data as well as control and format input and output.

“The Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor kit has been extremely popular with users wanting a low cost but powerful FPGA development kit that also has a Bluetooth interface and smartphone control,” said John Burton, President of Macnica Americas. “Adding these new features will make the kit even more powerful and opens up many new potential applications.”

The Odyssey Version 2 update includes firmware updates for the on-board microcontroller and the Bluetooth SMART module as well as updated smartphone apps to control the kit. New features include functions such as:

  • Hex or decimal format for user data entry or data display
  • User-programmable functions for data processing and control
    • Arithmetic, logic, masking, shifting, and byte swapping functions
    • Programmable timing for data collection and LED indication
    • Programmable I/O accesses including loops to/from user RAM
    • Command code loops and branching on programmable conditions

Odyssey users now have the ability to create programmable operations that include data manipulation, calculation and looped data reads and writes with programmable timing and control. Instead of merely displaying raw data from sensor registers, users can now manipulate or convert data from sensors using arithmetic or logic functions. Users can program delays and monitor sensors or FPGA registers to detect activity or calculate averages. Users can also have the board make decisions based on sensor data values or user input.

An example of how these functions could be used would be a personality that collects temperature, proximity or sound samples based on thresholds over a period of time and reading samples out using single (or multiple) buttons on the Mpression Odyssey smartphone app.

The Mpression Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit (ordering code: ODYSSEY-MAX10-KIT) is a low-cost evaluation kit ideally suited for collecting and processing data, controlling devices, or adding extra hardware processing to an industrial or IoT design. The development platform contains the Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA board with integrated Enpirion PowerSoCs from Altera, which delivers advance processing capabilities using a MAX 10 low-cost, single chip small form factor programmable logic device. It also contains the Odyssey Bluetooth SMART Sensor board that combines sensors for ambient light, proximity, heart rate, blood oximetry, temperature, humidity and an accelerometer, together with a Bluetooth SMART SIP module. The Odyssey app, which is available today for both Android and iOS platforms, allows designers to customize the control of their own FPGA or Bluetooth SMART design from their smartphone.

Odyssey version 2.0 firmware files and user documentation for performing the update are available now on the Odyssey Kit Downloads page at:

Updated smartphone apps to use with the version 2.0 update are available today on the Apple iTunes store for iOS and Google Play for Android platforms.

The Odyssey MAX 10 FPGA and BLE Sensor Kit is sold globally by Macnica under the Mpression brand and is available now through Macnica companies worldwide including Macnica Americas in North America, and is priced under $50 for North American customers. Full information and access to the Macnica Americas online store site to purchase the kit is available on the Mpression web site at

KU’s Zapf top seed for bowling nationals

Kansas University senior bowler Kelly Zapf earned the top seed for the women's division of match play at the 2005 Collegiate Singles Championships on Monday at Olympic Lanes.

Zapf posted a 12-game qualifying total of 2,631 pins. By being one of the top four seeds in the 16-player women's field, she receives a bye to the quarterfinals of today's best-of-five, single-elimination match play.

Zapf finished fifth at the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Sectional in March -- one spot from gaining an automatic berth to the national finals. But when Pikeville's Patty Trusty declined her bid, Zapf was given a second chance, and she's making the most of it.

"This is my last collegiate tournament, so I want to leave on a high note," Zapf said. "Considering I wasn't supposed to be here, I'm really happy."

Zapf closed with a 254 in the final game, lifting her 12-game average to 219.25. She recorded a 1,334 in her final six games (a 222.33 average).

Today I would like to tell you about another wonderful artist at Handmade Artists' Shop. Her name is April and you can find her beautiful work at brooklynbeadgoddess.

April not only makes beautiful jewelry she also makes the beads she uses. She is from Brooklyn and is influenced by the style and flair of New York which gives her jewelry it's uniqueness. The process she uses for making her beads is called lampwork.

Lampwork is used to describe handcrafted glass beads that are made by melting glass rods with a torch. The word "lamp" was used in ancient times when the glass was melted with the flame of an oil lamp. Today the craft is also called "flameworking".
Each glass bead is individually hand crafted by heating a glass rod in the flame of an oxygen and natural gas mixed gas torch. The hot glass is melted and applied to a steel rod.
Here are some of Aprils beautiful work

What lady would not be pretty in Pink

To learn more about April and see more of work please visit her at one of the following.

Thank you for stopping by Wyndwalker Creations Blog.

  1. Very nice post. I do like her work.

  2. O yeah, you just had to feature that gorgeous blue bracelet! The bling for your bag is enticing too! I really like the difference in the beads in the pink necklace! Beautiful beads! Nice post Karen.

iMap Find my Phone, Friends, iPhone Family Tracker App Reviews

0 add

The whole family uses this app and we love it. Pretty accurate too, tried using at Disneyworld with my daughters and it helped me track them down

When everyone in the family has this app downloaded, things are a lot safer. We can look at everyone’s location on a map, too, which is much easier than calling or texting around

Does not work

Waste of money. Worst app ever. First app I ever bought that does not worl

Writing to check validity. So far great app

Nice to be able to keep track of overseas family!

Great app

Great app to keep track of your loved ones.

Helps keep track of my kids and avoid confusion with lack of communication. Still learning how to use it!

keep it

I hope to keep this for a longtime

Really cool and informative.. keeping up with loved ones is essential

good for parents

This is app is only good for parents. They use this to track their kids.

love it

Great app. I can track my kids down at any time.

best app

Best way to keep track of the people I love!

Smart app

I love this app, it's so helpful to find my family location

Great for everyone

Love this app! Most part it is awesome!

Doesn't work

Found out after paying a fee

Hagfish to be the first half of the year

Don't get it.

I downloaded this app and paid the $2.99 for the extended version, this won't even locate MY phone, let alone someone else's. When you try to locate a phone it has to send a request to their phone and they click on the link and it's in French. Dumb and a waste of money!

I love the app

Help I don't know how to use trying to locate husband location!???

Bugs bugs bugs

I had so much hope for this app. It is full of bugs and repeated attempts have shown that many of the functions just don't ever complete. Especially location history which is one of the primary benefits of this app. By the way, you will have to pay about $6 to find out that this feature does not work because of the upsell. Don't buy this app. Get Life360. It works and is reliable. Life 360 will upswell you for three service but at least it works.

Five stars

Awesome app everyone should try it!

Good app

Very well. This is app very good. It is very good for my job. It help me search street very good. Thanks

User for a short time

Downloaded this app just to see whether or not would be useful to track my son's iPhone, but couldn't get to the point of entering his number to actually test the tracking. When looking for ways to enter his phone number, The app kept trying to get me purchasing the full app without me even checking out if it actually works or not. This is a Big No No. Need to show 1st that it works.

The app devs should make it clear this won't show the location of people who don't use the app. I was trying to find where my little brother is but it only sent a text to him.

Good performance

Regardless of the installed program of the application,you can find the location of any person using just phone number or email

Connecting to other devices is well

If you have many different devices for you to provide tracker service,you can use the app to track different devices such as GPS watches, cars trackers, pets trackers and micro-trackers,how useful the app is.

get close to your friends.

I think the app is wonderful and am curious about it,just a phone number you can save and view the location history of your friend by using the app.

A new way to give a notice

Now according the app ,you'll no longer call each other dozen times to arrange a meeting,use the app to find the out the location via phone number or email and choose a suitablest place for the meeting of family.

How important the app is for a mother

As I am a family housewife,I can't image what size I'll be able to,but use the program to track locations of children and relatives,I am very satisfied.

The manipulation is simple

If you know just someone' phone numbers or emails,you can use this application to track devices of your friends and relatives connected to the service as well as to find out their location

Some special and advanced functions

There are many map kind apps,but just this Imap can control the battery level of your friends and family's phones,you can give them a notice in some right time,or the app must have done the assignment automatically.

family members'good tool

It's a useful tool app because if all your family members install the application iMap, you will be able to know not only their current geolocation, but also the places which they have visited during the past 30 days.It'll make your family more united.

A very good app

I feel it a good app cause I've installed iMap and found I can do many things according to its account.

A associated app

As most of my friends are the members of the app,just according to phone numbers,the app has become a associated network,you can get directions to your friends,or their events or any other places,the app will reccomend them to you immediately.How wonderfu

Great app

Great app, it can help me find a friend's location, the interface is clean and easy to use, accurate positioning, recommended

I am a traveller usually,since I began to use the app I found the system of the app has saved my favorite places and the ones I went once,I prefer the function and has saved all my routes.It's an important memory.

Love it

Helped me a lots! Really love it

Many comments in the map app

As the user can publish their own events on the map and there is a comment feature in the app,now the map is full of already created events,it'useful for all the persons ,more and more comments will make the app more practical.

A good Geolocation service

I love this app because you can get your friends and relatives on the same map for FREE!

Don't buy it! I paid for the pro version and it does NOT work at all!!!

Wow! So far so great. Easy install, clean graphics. Nice choice.

very good

Yes, you can’t see your children but you can follow their whereabouts and question their movements and more. So useful to have

So useful

My son is always outdoor hanging out with his friends and this app keeps me to know where he is. Super easy to use even for a non tech savvy like me!

Don't pay. It doesn't work

Got $1.99??

you gotta pay.

Good app!

This is one of the few location apps that gets my home address correct. It has a cool set of useful features. I have 6 children and you can imagine how difficult it could be in keeping up with them without this app

Good app

iMap Find My Friend is a good app for finding friends and everything connects to the internet. It's not only for Iphone but also for other mobile devices installed this app. It's so helpful and very easy to use. I like it. Thanks to developers.

Great app

Easy to use

Sheep + Wool

Many knitters (especially those on the East Coast) know that Maryland Sheep & Wool is THE event of the year. And it's almost here! And I will be there!

So if you see me, and I know you in real life (or if you read my blog), say hi! For those who don't know me, I look like this:

on the ferry

I will probably be standing in front of The Fold's booth, making a stupid face like this:

the face of excitement

(Can you blame me? All that Socks that Rock ...)

I'll also be at the Fiberspace afterparty Saturday night. I am rather shy and have a feeling I will chicken out on saying hi to others I recognize from the interwebs ... but I'll try not to! I promise!

One lacy sock.

This, my friends, is one easy, lacy sock.

FO: Lacy Ribs sock

Pattern: Lacy Ribs by Wendy Johnson (from her book "Socks from the Toe Up")
Yarn: Wullenstudio Sock (Colorway: Bad Moon Rising)
US 2 needles
Rav details

The pattern is super, super easy. The sample in the book is variegated, but I didn't want the variegation to obscure this pretty pattern. I'm glad I went with a mostly solid yarn.

FO: Lacy Ribs sock

I had switched to US 1 needles for the ribbing, finished it, tried it on, and immediately lost blood flow to my foot. Ick. So I frogged the ribbing, re-knit it on 2s, and it fits much, much better now!

I knit this sock in 13 days. It's 12 days until I leave for Maryland Sheep & Wool. I'm hopeful I can start and finish its mate before then, but realistically, I'll be finishing it while I'm there!

Marbles socks - check!

Marbles socks, modeled

I finished the Marbles socks for my friend Jamie. We were classmates and dorm neighbors in college and often shared shoes (when you wear a size 11, that's a real thing of beauty!) -- so I took the opportunity to model these socks I knit for her.

I gave her one of the first pairs I knit, two years ago, and she still texts me all the time to let me know when she's wearing them. I figured she was due for another pair. =) I'm going to wash/block them and then they'll be off to New York City!

FO: Marbles socks

Yarn: Socks that Rock lightweight in Marbles (a prize from a blog contest over at Irishgirlieknits - thanks, Carrie!)
Needles: US 1
Toe-up, 72 stitches, 2x2 rib at cuff
8g of yarn leftover
(Rav details)

I've already cast on for my next sock project ... a pattern out of Wendy Johnson's "Socks from the Toe Up." I am digging this amazing blue yarn, purchased at MDS&W two years ago ...

my next socks ...

I'm hoping to finish 'em before MDS&W in three and a half weeks. (Holy moly, it will be here soon!)

Sunday, April 4, 2010

Happy Easter!

I hope you have a wonderful Easter (or a wonderful Sunday, if Easter's not your thing).

Today, I'll be trying to finish these socks:

one down, (most of) one to go ...

Perfect Easter colors!

I'm making pancakes in a little bit, enjoying the day, and then it's off to work. (Yep, on Easter.)

How will you spend this Sunday?

There are few things in life I enjoy more than giving handknits to good people. Yesterday was one of those days!

I gave my friend L the shawl I blogged about a few days ago. Turns out, when I tried to deliver it over the weekend, she was in Iowa for the funeral. Her grandma died last Wednesday. She really, really loved it. And we both totally cried as we talked about it.

It's uncanny how similar our experiences were - both slowly losing a grandparent to kidney cancer, both right before a trip to the Pacific Northwest. (She and I have a little joke going about how she and her boyfriend are doing a very similar trip to the one Josh and I took in October.)

In other news, my pup Gracie seems to be over a stomach bug, thank goodness. She has had an upset tummy since the weekend, but after a visit to the vet and many, many, many 3 a.m. trips outside, she seems to be doing better!

I've been pretty sleep-deprived this week with all the middle-of-the-night dog walks, and I made the executive decision while falling asleep in the shower yesterday that I would go to Maryland Sheep + Wool this year. I'm only four hours away, I wouldn't have to take any time off work for it, and I've been really good about socking money away the past few months. A couple of my local knitty girls have a pull-out couch in their room, and voila! All of a sudden I'm going to the festival. I am super, super excited. I went two years ago and had a wonderful time so I am really, really excited to go again!

06 January 2012

my first 2012 entry

Again I guess I’ve lose the energy to blog, though there’re actually loads that I wish I could tell and share over here.

It’s the 6th day of the new year 2012. I don’t put any resolution yet in writing, nor do I have anything in mind right now. Probably I have too many things to consume and think be it at home-front or office that my mind keeps on wandering and working wearily.

To start with, my eldest has been transferred to a new primary school nearby our house. It wasn’t an easy decision for us, and him of course, but we hope we’re making the best decision for him. I don’t want to elaborate further on the reason and whatnots, but we’re praying hard he’ll be ok going thru the transition process – new school, new set of friends, new teachers, new environment, everything.

First day, I was with him till recess time. Alhamdulillah he was attached to a class in which some of his old friends who previously went thru the same tadika at our taman were in that class too, hence I don’t think he has issue adapting and coping with new friends. Breaktime, he went to canteen with them, and later I asked him to go to surau to perform Zohor prayer with them too. Told and reminding him many times not to skip his solat no matter what happen. He took the right bus on the way back home on the 2nd day, that’s a huge relief to us. This year, me and hubby determined to prepare ‘bento’ set for him everyday. Apa itu bento? Haha sila gugel ok :p So overall, Idlan seems to be fine on his first and second day of schooling, both at Kafa and sek keb.

Our second darls Amir Firas went to kindy this year. It was the same tadika with his taska, hence this boy has no issue adapting to the teachers and friends. First day during line up in the morning, he was all bz chit-chatting and playing with his bff Qaisara, while his other friends reciting doa and sang Negaraku. When he later spotted that me and hb were staring at him, he gave us his normal shy-shy smile and look away, and soon afterwards bz chit chatting again with that girl. Ah our Firas is obviously a total opposite from his brother. We still remember idlan was quite responsible and matured when he was 4yr, while Firas is still behaving like a kid, very cheeky and naughty in his own way. I asked him what he did on his first day at kindy, he uttered ‘ntah’. I think he took no serious about this schooling thingy at all hihi.

Myself? Ahh 2011 has its own ups and downs but overall Alhamdulillah to me everything works well both at home or work. There’ll be some restructuring over here and I’ll be incharged of other commodities very soon, no more procuring cables, materials and network items anymore, will be reporting to a new bos which I kind of dislike him but let’s just keep going and take it as a challenge ok!

This year I foresee to be a lot more hectic and busy, but we’re set for Phuket and Perth as some of the highlights for our holiday (and i wish to include USS as well bley tak Yang hehehe). And yes I sooo wanna have a repeat visit to Desa Waterpark with the kids, if only I knew their waves pool is so cool am sure will bug hb to take us there on each school holiday :p

So how's your 2012 going on so far peeps? have a great weekend ahead ya!
Me will be super bz pressing the kids' clothes aduhai task yg sgt membosankan!! - 3 pairs for sek keb, 3 pairs for Kafa, and another 3 pairs for that cheeky Firas! Lucky Ammar is only 15mths if not i'll be collapse halfway for sure :p

Milk was a bad choice...

It's SOOOOOOO hot. My brain is addled, I swear. I can't concentrate, I'm pissy (especially to Chad) and all I want to do is move to Vancouver. I'm not supposed to sweat this much, seriously. If you don't believe the summers are getting hotter and the winters are getting colder, please, come to Olathe, Kansas and check out our weather patterns the last few years.

Anywho, I want to start off, well move on really, with some super-awesome-fantastic news! Two of my besties are going t
o be tying the knot! I received a call last night from Sarah of Reflections of a Possibilitarian that she and her man Brian are now engaged! SCREAM!!!! This is especially exciting as Sarah is one of my best friends from college and Brian is one of Chad's best friends from childhood on and they met at our wedding where I strategically paired them! But I won't take too much credit, these two were obviously just meant for each other!! And how about a shout out to Brian for a proposal by a waterfall in a national park!!! Woot!! Congrats you two. Now let's do this wedding!!!

And since we are speaking of romance and love, please enjoy the most beautiful and perfect heart strawberry I found today.

Delicious as well!

Today has been an especially productive day
, you would think I had taken a double dose of Sudofed! Got up shortly after Chad left at 6:30 and started doing some yard work. You know those people in your neighborhood, the ones who never take care of their lawn and make you wish you had an HOA. Well...we kind of have been those people. It's not that we don't care it's just that it's too freakin' hot and we're broke. But mostly it's too hot. It should have been mowed a while ago, weeds everywhere, bushes---->oh my, and they roofing sign is gone so that only the wire stand remains. Well I tried to remedy some of that this morning. I chopped down the rose bushes that we had tried to kill last fall (they came back very roseless), sprayed the weeds in the grass with weed killer, sprayed the weeds everywhere else with weed & grass killer, trimmed the bushes I can sort of tolerate and picked everything up before I passed out from heat exhaustion. Once inside I tackled what I looked at last night at made this noise at, "eeeuuuuggghhhhhssssshhhhh:" my housework. Sweeping, dusting, need i say more this place was a mess! But the big kahuna was the craft/office room which looked like this:

That, my friends, is what happens when your two dogs get into a forbidden room while you are away for the evening and commence to destroy everything in sight. Ruining craft projects, ripping up books, pooing on things (*cringe), breaking childhood art; you name it, it happened. And yes, that is my sewing machine on the floor, no it is not supposed to be there.
Finally, today I got around to finishing the damage control and I'm happy to say that the floor is visible again although in need of a good vacuuming and shampooing which chad has promised await it in the near future! Papers are filed, trash is binned, books are righted. Now if I can just keep the freaking dogs out...

List of good things!!

1. We are raiding again!

This little loot sloot has already scored some awesome gear in Blackwing Descent , Throne of the Four Winds and Bastion of Twilight and the guild is planning on some Firelands trash runs! Woohoo!!!

2. The Escape is almost fixed! Although there is a lot more to this story for right now I will just say that I should be back in my delicious SUV by Monday and thank heaven cause I can't take anything else much longer.

3. One week from today, Indy will be neutered!!!! HORRAYYY!!!!

And on that positive note I hope you have a punch and pie weekend!

It's in the Bible (Part 6)

It's not Sunday, but I'm posting this anyway.  Enjoy.
A few weeks ago, Christians (mainly the evangelical type) had their panties in a wad over Rob Bell’s new book, Love Wins.  I should point out that the book had not even been released yet, but people were blogging all over the place and angrily posting on FB about what a heretic he was.  I refrained from joining the discussion except in instances where I trusted I could have a civil debate--which means I only discussed it with ONE person over Facebook.
Anyway, his book came out and oddly enough all the vitriol that had been running like hot lava from a giant overreactive Christian volcano subsided.  Weird.
I was frustrated for three reasons with this situation.  1) Obviously, I think it’s unfair and straight up wrong to criticize someone based on assumptions--which is all these people had to go on since the book hadn’t even been released.  2) On a related note, all the people who were discussing the fate of Rob Bell’s soul as if they were in charge of it probably STILL haven’t read the book.  3) All of the hubbub that was created is still insignificant in the lives of the rest of the world who don’t give a crap about a (pointless) heated debate going on among a small group of Christians who are too self-absorbed to realize just how pointless it was.
Having ACTUALLY read the book, I thought it might be nice to add something to the “conversation” as a way to continue with this whole “It’s in the Bible” series of posts that I obviously quit writing a few weeks ago.  After all, even though I miserably failed at reading the Bible in 90 days, I have been having a pretty good time with God the last few weeks.
First of all, within the first five minutes of reading Love Wins, I had to put the book down and ruminate a bit.  I was expecting Bell to sort of ease into the topics at hand--tell a little humorous pastor story to break the ice (you know the type--when pastors start their sermons with a joke before heading into the more challenging parts).  But no.  Bell starts off with a bang, and I felt like getting on the computer and shooting him an email, something along the lines of:
Hi, Rob!
If you could please get out of my head, I’d appreciate it.  Thanks!
Sincerely--really sincerely,
I mean, really.  Bell starts off by asking questions--a lot of questions--all the questions I’ve asked a million times when I’m lying awake in bed at night contemplating the state of the world when I should be sleeping.  Which happens a lot.
Once he is finished spinning his web, he gets right to the point--let’s answer these questions.  At the heart of these questions is who is going to heaven, who is going to hell, and what the hell does that even mean?
My children have several books from a series called “Usborne Touchy-Feely Books.”  All of the books involve some object--most often an animal, and each page tells in detail why that object or animal does not belong to the narrator.  For example, in That’s Not My Puppy, the narrator points out things like “its coat is too hairy.”  In other titles, we learn things like “That’s not my dragon...its ears are too tufty” or “That’s not my train...its wheels are too slippery.”
You get the point.
Anyway, Rob Bell makes a point that so many people have rejected Christianity and ultimately the person of Christ because the version that has been shown to them is not an accurate portrayal.  He goes so far as to say that “Jesus’ story has been hijacked by a number of other stories, stories that Jesus isn’t interested in telling, because they have nothing to do with what he came to do.”
Bell states that he has written this book for two reasons--to allow those of us who are angry about the hijacking to know that we’re not alone and to address the questions that such a good portion of “the church” is afraid to answer.  One more important note--Bell makes the point that nothing that he is saying is new (I have always adored that whole part in Ecclesiastes about there being nothing new under the sun!)--that what he is saying is part of a centuries-long tradition of asking questions.
This is important for people to understand. The current brand of American Christianity that is hurting/turning people off by the droves is not what Christianity has always been.
Which brings me to why I brought up the kids books.  When I think about the damage the church has and continues to do to people’s lives, it makes me want to scream, “That’s not my Jesus...his people are too angry!”
Or “That’s not my Jesus...his people are too judgmental!”
Or “That’s not my Jesus...his people are too hypocritical!”
Or “That’s not my Jesus...his people are too selfish!”
Or...this could go on for pages.
When we decided to “move” to OKC, I enrolled the kids at a preschool/Mother’s Day Out at a church close to my parents’ house.  I’d heard good things about it, but I’d never actually been inside this particular church.  On the days when both boys are in school, Ben gets out fifteen minutes earlier than Will.
Ben and I wait at the entrance to the preschool area, usually having a snack or talking about Ben’s day until Will comes out.  In the entryway is a statue of Jesus.  It’s life-sized, and he’s surrounded by children--some on his lap, some holding his hand.  The statue is made out of a sturdy bronze, and it never fails--EVERY time we’re in the atrium, half a dozen kids are crawling all over Jesus.
I’ve seen kids put their fingers in his eye sockets.  I’ve seen them sit in his lap, swinging their feet and kicking the edges of his robe.  I’ve seen them run in circles, shouting and laughing while they chase their friends.  I even saw one little girl stand up straight on his lap, grab his face in her hands, and kiss him right on the mouth.
In the time I’ve spent hanging out with the bronze Jesus, I have never once heard an adult tell the kids to stop.  I have never even heard an adult say, “Get down!” or “Be careful!”  It’s the kind of everyday miracle that makes me smile as I watch and makes my eyes well up with tears as I write about it.
On Thursday, as we sat in front of Jesus, the book burning a hole in my purse as I couldn’t wait to get home to finish it, I wanted to stand up and shout:
That’s my Jesus.
I would LOVE to talk about the rest of Rob Bell’s book, but I really just want you to read it.  I know some of you will read it and respond with a “Right on!” mentality because he’s saying the things you’ve been thinking.  For others of you, the book is going to open up new ideas that you’d never entertained.  For others, you are probably going to hate it, bristle at some of his ideas.  And you know what?  That’s okay.  It is okay to hear other people’s viewpoints--ones that don’t align with our own sometimes because it challenges us.  Despite what we’ve been told, having a thinking faith is okay--in fact, for me it has been life-affirming and even life-saving.
Think about it.  And if anyone needs to borrow the book, I’ve got a copy.

  1. I found your blog post from the link you posted on Rob Bell's status - really appreciate your perspective. Love the "That's not my Jesus" image -- thanks for sharing!

  2. Thanks for reading, Melissa! It's always nice to find Jesus in the little things. :)

  3. I, like the above poster, Melissa, found your blog from the link on Rob's status. You truly hit the nail on the head! Thank you for your great perspective and for joining the conversation. :o)

    A sister and fellow follower,

  4. Being in my own little world, as I often am, I don't know anything about the debate you mentioned, but I will put this book on my list. It sounds like it's right up my alley. And the picture of the children climbing all over Jesus brought happy tears to my eyes.

  5. I love reading your observations! I've always been a big fan of Jesus, even though I think YHWH seriously needs to chill. I will never understand how people can hear the stories of the good Samaritan and the woman being stoned for adultery and come away with the idea that Jesus wants them to hate people and be cruel.

  6. @Stacey and Ariel, I am so grateful to have both of you as blog readers. You are both always so encouraging!

Ashram Life

" I can only give 5% of my teachings in computer. If a person wants the full teachings they will have to come here." --Swamiji

Student at Premvarni Ashram
Student at Premvarni Ashram

Yoga asana at bodhi tree

Below is a brief outline of some of the main teachings of Swami Balyogi Premvarni Ji. They are only a small piece, the real value comes from the inner process of spiritual work that happens when a person lives with a spiritual Master. A Guru's goal for the student is to awaken the highest expression of the Self. Swamiji takes this responsibility very seriously. He integrates teachings in the most simple situations, allowing truth, purification and understanding to come throughout daily life. The process of Sadhana is not always an easy one but it is essential for a person seeking Self-awareness, enlightenment and liberation.

"A Guru is the guide and authority for all spiritual questions. He knows way to the top of the mountain. He comes down from the top to help others get there. How could he guide you if he did not come down to where you are?"--Swamiji

Written by Swamiji, how to love yourself and others without attachment, ego or fear.
What is divine love, and what is human love?
What is the purpose of love and sensuality?
How can we reach the state of our true selves which is Satchitananda, pure being, consciousness and bliss.

Understanding and working with the bodies beyond the physical gross body, Emotional body, Astral Body, Intuitional body...

Union of the Male and Female energies within the body resulting in perfection and Self-Awareness. This inner balance of energy frees a person from dependency on the energy of the opposite gender for completeness. Samadhi is achieved by this state of equilibrium.

Integral daily yogic work to purify the lower ego and emotions involving Karma Yoga, Self-study and the presence of the Guru to give advice and discipline. How to surrender negativity and emotions and become open to give love.
How to develop divine virtues and to understand the ego so it does not control you.

Healing by living with the rhythms and presence of nature.
Circle of healing trees,  flowers, birds, fresh air, pure food and water, moon and sun.
Understanding the cycles of life and taking care of your Self, the earth and others. Leaving a light footprint on the earth.

Young PR Pros

Well, it is official, Kristine Simpson has been overuled in the handshake debate in episode 8. The results are back in from our Facebook question asking "Do you judge people on their handshake?"

The verdict: 3/4 of people said yes.

The lesson learned: a good handshake is important.

Julia Kent and I then switch over to a topic not spoken about often enough, PR ethics. We discuss the ethics behind the story about OK! Magazine Editor Accepts Thousands of Dollars From PR People After Her Dog Dies. A debate started in the #PRintern | #EntryPR LinkedIn group. We give our two cents on the subject, but here is a hint: we think it is bad PR.

The debate quickly moves in to the ethics behind pitching. We discuss how it can be hard to pitch journalists as young professionals, but we must not fear the silence and ensure to always pitch using quality stories and not just aim for the most amount of hits. It is always quality over quantity. We mention Jeannie Clary's article called The Sound of Silence on to give some tips on how to properly pitch.

We want to hear from you. What is your opinion on the OK! Magazine story? What are your tips to pitching ethically?

Leave us a comment on our blog, or on our Facebook Page, or on our Google+ page, or send us an email at, or send us a message on Twitter @youngprpros@kristinesimpson or @kentjulia.

Identify all of the current positions in your business. Write job descriptions for each role that include the responsibilities of each position and the qualifications necessary for the employee who holds each job.

Develop interview guidelines. This will ensure all prospective employees are assessed in a similar way.

Conduct background checks on all prospective employees and check their references.

Hire newcomers who appear to be a good fit with your existing employees. Conduct group interviews when possible to introduce your current staffers to prospects. Ask your employees for their input regarding the potential hire.

Create an employee handbook for new hires that outlines business expectations, company rules and processes for conflict resolution.

Train employees and orient them to your business before putting them to work. This will give them the skills they need to work effectively and serve your customers well.

Create an organizational chart that outlines the hierarchy within your small business. The chart should clearly indicate to whom each position reports.

Match the right people to the right roles by assigning people to the tasks for which they are best qualified. Putting people into roles they are unfamiliar with or unqualified to perform can have a negative impact on your business.

Create master schedules that outline work hours anticipated for each position. Take into consideration busy times of day when you might need extra hands to effectively serve customers.

Schedule veteran employees with new workers. This will help new staffers learn the ropes while ensuring you have a seasoned person on hand to deal with emergencies or other unexpected events.

Avoid scheduling colleagues who don’t work well together for the same shifts. This can create discord and unease in the workplace, which can have a negative impact on productivity and morale.

Perform regular performance assessments to ensure you have the most appropriate people in each role. If an employee needs additional training or would better serve your company in a different role, make staffing changes.

Have backup help. Retain on-call or part-time workers who can fill in when necessary, or make advanced arrangements with a temp agency to provide you with appropriate staffers on short notice.
