Heard of the Tower of Terror? How about The Tower of Frustration? (Otherwise known as the CatIt Senses Food Tree 2.0.) Seemed like a cool idea since Hera is constantly bugging me for food or treats. Not surprisingly, Pan wasn't interested in it all but then he doesn't really care about food or treats. Hera, on the other hand, went at it with gusto and almost immediately knocked it over – and scored some treats!
I then braced it while continuing to film her initial efforts and added some weights afterward so I could leave it unattended. It was clear she had great difficulty with "paw to eye" coordination, looking at one level of the puzzle and reaching blindly elsewhere. After her initial 30 minutes of frustrated efforts she completely gave up on it and I couldn't get her interested any more. Over the subsequent weeks, she would still cry for treats as usual but would never make any more effort to extract them from The Tower of Frustration, despite any prodding or just leaving them out, tempting her 24/7.
I eventually gave up as well and gave it away to Kathie and Dave. Looks like their Penny has absolutely no trouble with it!
After Thanksgiving day, Darlene and I loaded up the Traveling Cat Adventure Vehicle and headed down the coast south of Monterey. My intention was for us to stay a couple of nights at the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park campground, but I forgot it was still closed from the impact of the Soberanes fire earlier this year. D'oh! So we kept heading south as the sun set (there's no overnight parking allowed along the highway here), passing several alternate, full campgrounds until we found space at the San Simeon State Park campground. We walked to the beach in the rain the next morning before heading out, stopped to let the cats out for a scary adventure when the rain let up later, caught a tour of "Nitt Witt Ridge" in Cambria and made it to Morro Bay by nightfall. On Saturday night, the campgrounds were full so we found a nice out-of-the-way spot to boondock for the night. On Sunday, we visited the bay, the rock, the natural history museum and the Monarch butterflies before heading home in the evening up 101.
Just some pictures from another little overnight excursion with Pan and Hera in the Traveling Cat Adventure Vehicle, this time in the redwoods of Butano State Park.
We're slowly building up to longer outings with them and they do seem to be adapting to it as a second home. They're also learning to go out for a little exploration in their harnesses. Hera's become quite the little explorer while Pan is still pretty nervous and reluctant. Neither of them are happy about being in the vehicle while it's in motion though.

Holy cat snacks! I bought an RV!! To be otherwise known as the Mobile Cat House, Traveling Cat Camper, Cat-Assisted Adventure Van, Traveling Cat Adventure Vehicle? The idea here is to be able to take extended road trips and bring the cats along so that I don't always have to make arrangements for a cat sitter.
I wanted something small enough to be able to take most anywhere (cities, state/national parks, even dirt roads) and yet large enough that the cats won't go stir crazy and hate it. Darlene and I intend to use it mostly, if not always, "dry camping" (or "boondocking" without hookups for water or electricity); in other words, our intention isn't to travel to RV "resorts" or campgrounds. We'll prefer being able to camp out on open national park, forest service or BLM lands.
Now if this wasn't mostly about being able to bring the cats along, I'd definitely go for a compact 4×4 Sprinter van conversion that would allow us to go anywhere we would have previously gone and still easily fit in city parking spaces. However, to better accommodate the cats (it is the Traveling Cat Adventure Vehicle after all), I eventually settled on the somewhat wider and longer Leisure Travel Vans "Unity 24TB" (Twin Bed) model, built on the Mercedes Sprinter diesel-powered chassis. It's a little wider and longer than a normal Sprinter van and thus a "class B+ or C" but it should still be reasonably manageable both in the city and in the wild. Unfortunately, there aren't yet options for electric drivetrains on campervans and motorhomes, but they're coming. Mercedes-Benz may well have an all-electric option for its Sprinter chassis in a few more years.
Anyway, I found and bought this only very slightly used 2016 Unity from a previous owner in Montana, with just 3100 miles on it, before I drove it the 1250 miles back home. It was great to find a relatively new used one, to avoid the immediate depreciation hit of buying new and also to skip the 6-8 month long backlog for new orders. Leisure Travel Vans are hard to come by and dealer's orders seem to sell immediately. I wasn't even able to look at one in person anywhere in California.
Update: The cats are doing great and have adapted well to traveling in the RV. Follow this tag ("RV Travels") to see and read about Pan and Hera's traveling adventures!
Here's also a related news report and video where a runner came upon and recorded a lion capturing a deer at mid-day in Rancho San Antonio park.
And yes, the guardian owl has been effective. It's been well over a year (I'm backdating this post) and almost every bird has stayed away from the deck but Pan continued to go out before dawn every morning for most of a year, oblivious to why the birds stopped coming. All except this one little guy who came along many months later. He was apparently too smart for his own good and not fooled by the plastic owl. He even seemed to taunt Pan through the window over the course of a week or two. However, I'm guessing this is also that same bird that Pan eventually caught a little later.
For years I've dismissed those little semi-autonomous, robotic sucking machines. It sounded like they weren't really worth the trouble since they couldn't really run for very long, pick up much debris in their tiny compartments, deal with furniture without missing spots or getting stuck or trapped. With all the need to supervise, it sounded easier and quicker to do it yourself. But then recently I stumbled on a review of a new model and was intrigued by the improvements and the possibility of a little machine to help keep up on all that cat hair my two furry friends are always producing.
It's the BotVac 80/85 from Neato. Unlike its more well-known competitor (iRobot Roomba), this robotic vacuum cleaner does not just follow a random walk around the room, bumping haphazardly from one obstacle to the next. The BotVac uses laser sensors to map out the shape of each room and build up a floor plan as it goes about its business. When it encounters obstacles like tables and chairs, it will actually work to navigate around each leg, vacuuming under and around as much as it can. It's pretty amazing (and mesmerizing) to watch it navigate around the house, room after room, following its little internal rule sets to deal with various obstacles as they come up.
When the BotVac gets low on charge, it will actually backtrack through the map it built to return to its charging base and dock itself for recharging, even off in another room. And when it has finished recharging it will return by itself to where it left off and continue the job!
It's got touch sensors in front to help it maneuver tightly to objects and walls.
It has a sensor underneath to keep it from running off a cliff (or stairs).
It's squared off in front so that it can get into corners much better than fully round designs like the Roomba.
It has a larger-than-typical dust bin and it's very easy to remove and empty out – without even having to turn over the unit. It makes sense to also vacuum out the dust filter though.
It's not quite a replacement for a full-size vacuum cleaner but it certainly does an amazing job considering that you can just start it up and let it go while you go about doing other things. (You also do need a normal vacuum cleaner to clear out its filter.) It's pretty cool though to come back and find everything freshly vacuumed! And it's not really that loud (certainly much less than a full size vacuum) and it's not too annoying to have it going about it's business while you do other things.
One limitation with the BotVac is that at about four inches tall, it can't fit under some furniture, particularly couches. (The Roomba design has a lower profile and can fit under more furniture.) Also, the BotVac can get itself stuck at times and need help. This happens sometimes with furniture that offers just enough clearance for it to partially slip under but not quite enough for it to fit entirely under. Often this goes fine and it will just work its way around, but other times it'll get itself wedged in and need to be pulled out. When it does get stuck or trapped, it will cut power to its vacuum and call for help by chiming. It'll then sit and wait quietly for a while before chiming now and again.
Here's a much more mixed review of the BotVac that comes out in favor of the Roomba. Some more reviews: BotVac 85 vs. Roomba 880 (favors the BotVac) and iRobot Roomba vs Neato Botvac (favors neither).
Note that the BotVac 85 is really just the same model as the 80 but it comes with two extra filters included. (This wasn't obvious to me.) Both the 80 and 85 come with the two different brush types.
Now… what should I name him?
The other issue (and this is more annoying) is that its methodical method of covering a room means that it will get into try over and over again (unsuccessfully) to reach some particularly difficult spot (due to furniture) and waste a lot of its battery charge or even eventually get itself wedged in or otherwise stuck. Bringing it back out again will often lead to it just finding its way right back into that spot. I've since got into the habit of leaving some strategically placed pillows or other items to prevent it from getting into those spots. This is where I imagine the Roomba might do better with its random walk pattern: it probably won't get stuck obsessively trying to reach the same spot.
Lastly, as I mentioned earlier, the biggest problem with the BotVac is the little laser assembly sticks up in the center of the unit. This protrusion isn't accounted for when the unit tries to go under some furniture so it can end up wasting energy trying over and over to get under some furniture or even getting wedged under such furniture.
However, the BotVac does still do a good vacuuming job and it's great to be able to set it off running while you take care of other things.
I went outside to say hi but he wasn't interested in chatting. Presumably he's looking for the rabbits I sometimes see – or maybe the field mice that escape Pan's fenced off domain. I followed him down the driveway a bit, scaring off the deer, before he disappeared into the brush.

On a recent trip outside to feed the birds and the deer, as I slowly plowed through the snow, my bones froze as the brisk cold of January ripped right through me.
I could even see my dogs, which joined me on this quick endeavor, shaking, as their once adaptively sufficient winter coat now failed to provide adequate protection. "The poor animals," my wife always says. To which, I usually reply "Well, they have adapted to these conditions; I doubt they know the difference."
This, of course, is my standard line to reassure the both of us - fully understanding the hardship these animals face.
I quite enjoy feeding the animals; sometimes watching families of deer warm their bodies with our offering of "free" corn. Birds of several species, cardinals, blue jays, finches, doves and even crows, visit our feeders 24 hours a day - consuming the energy required to battle the harsh weather conditions. It is amazing how just a few minutes in the cold can both make you appreciate the progress made by our species and turn your stomach as to how spoiled we have become.
In a blink of an eye, relatively speaking, or namely, a few thousand years, our species fears little of harsh winter conditions other than the inconvenience of shoveling the driveway, cleaning off the car, and leaving a few minutes early for work.
Just a few short years ago, our species battled winters like all other species. We faced the challenges of shelter, hunger and disease. A December trip to Hocking Hills included a visit to the famous caves that surely provided shelter to ancient humans.
An eerie feeling overcame me as we battled the cold for only a couple hours through the natural heat of the campfire. What these people must have gone through, I thought. Moreover, how lucky they were to have found such a cave. Undoubtedly, many others did not have it so well.
Just hundreds of years ago, when the European settlers invaded this land, surviving the winter was an accomplishment for all those that did. There were no guarantees. American settlers often remarked on the winter conditions and how many did or did not survive.
Technology had advanced to include cabins and fireplaces but times were still tough. Travel could be difficult, even impossible. People worked hard and died young.
It is sad then that so much has been forgotten. And how much of what we have today is taken for granted. Families used to raise their own animals, grow their own crops. Kids worked the farm, families worked together, and our communities cared about one another.
How many of us today could survive those conditions of a couple hundred years ago, or even more difficult, of a couple thousand years ago? Daily "to do" lists included staying warm, finding food, protecting the children and living to see tomorrow.
The success of our ancestors made things what they are for us today. They worked hard, obtained and shared knowledge, and, most importantly, they survived. Compare their lives with ours today. Consider the leisure time we have. The time we have to choose between "American Idol" and "The Bachelorette."
And the time we have to care whether or not Brittany got married, or if Ben and Jennifer broke up. We have the luxury of passing up hard work because we can pay someone else to do it. We also have the audacity to pass up the opportunity for knowledge, because, it too, is too much work.
Today we worry about our diets, if we get enough calcium; our ancestors were just happy to eat. We get dressed up to go hunting, and hang the heads of our victims on walls as trophies- our ancestors hunted to survive; there was no time for gloating. How lucky we are today that 40 hours a week pays our way through life, considering that our ancestors put in 24/7.
Perhaps we can never completely understand the trials and tribulations that our ancestors may have endured. Maybe I'm wrong; maybe it wasn't that difficult. But at least consider what it might have been like hundreds or thousands of years ago. Step outside one cold dark night, walk into a forest or an open field and ask yourself- could I have survived?


Children laugh with abandon and don't think or care about how it will look. When they laugh, they laugh out loud. They are carefree and find happiness in small things, adults can go months without laughing, start laughing like a child.
Children do whatever they want to do. They sing loudly, dance around, and enjoy being creative. They don't care about consequences and have no fear. They don't know the taste of failure and just keep doing their best.
Kids often imagine things in a weird way and tend to know the logistics behind things happening around them. They tell interesting stories about how babies are born, how trees grow, and many other developments. They have a great power to imagine things which yields great ideas. Sometimes they ask such weird questions we have a hard time coming up with an answer!
When children love they do it unconditionally without wanting anything in return, this is something we should learn. Just like trees bear fruit without expectation, kids shower love without consideration. Give unconditional love and see how your life changes.
Kids usually don't have fixed schedules or obligations and they live life on their own terms, if they want to color or play with toys then that is what they do. Living life freely makes you more creative, efficient, and innovative.
One moment they are upset, the next moment they are fine. You give them a chocolate and they are happy. They carry the attitude of forgive and forget. They are innocent and let go of anger and sadness. Learn to forgive and forget from the children around you, it feels good.
Children don't censor themselves before speaking, they show their true emotions. If they act happy they are happy, when they are angry they show that too. Speak up without trying to manipulate others to be at peace.
One of the best qualities of children is innocence, adopt it. Their soul is honest and their conscience is clear. They are too innocent to think about revenge or violence. They tend to trust everyone and have the mindset that life will be good to them.
For children the sky is the limit and they dream big. Adults tend to limit our abilities and dream according to them. We should dream big and expand our capacity and skills to achieve our dreams. If you can't dream you can't achieve.
Kids do what they love and don't do much they don't enjoy, you can learn from them and pursue your interests. When you do what you love you can work wonders, it will always be fun and interesting instead of a burden.


It's an unprepossessing building, sitting just south of NMSU's Center for the Arts. It doesn't even look old, yet it's the oldest building on campus.
The building in question is now 111 years old and still going strong. In the late 1800s, New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts commissioned southwestern architect Henry C. Trost to design a plan. He created the well-known horseshoe around which 13 buildings were to form the core of the school — six on each side and the administration building in the center, giving the appearance of unity and harmony.
The college was to have an east-west orientation and be open-ended in the west at its entrance. Buildings were to be executed in what Trost called Spanish Renaissance architectural style, with hipped tile roofs and domed towers. Arches would connect the buildings to form a complex resembling some of the historic California missions.
Over the next 30 years, seven Trost buildings were completed. Five remain, of which four have been renovated. The fifth is Nason House, once the president's residence done in Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style.
The historic building of this story is now the William B. Conroy Honors Center, located on the northwest corner of the horseshoe. Originally the Y.M.C.A. (Young Men's Chris-tian today's currency, still quite a bargain considering the visual arts building now under construction is slated to cost $22.5 million. The cornerstone was laid in 1907, and construction was completed 1909.
The Y.M.C.A. building was a meeting and boarding house for members. In 1964, the university purchased the building. It had been used by the music department from 1929 to 1965. Then, until 1982, it was used by the Air Force ROTC program.
It remained vacant until 2002, when it was renovated at a cost of $1,980,000. Renovation included an addition on the east side, bringing available space to 9,468 square feet and incorporating offices, a commons area, seminar rooms, an art exhibit area, and an elevator to accommodate people with disabilities.
Commons area in the Conroy Center features original lighting and the iconic half-circle windows.
William Eamon, who was director of the Honors College/Crimson Scholar Program, said he liked the idea the Honors Program was in the oldest academic building on campus.
Replica of Y.M.C.A. insignia still marks the entrance to the historic building.
In giving the building a face-lift, designers maintained its unique windows and hipped roof with its terra cotta tiel. Over the entrance to the building is a replica of the original Y.M.C.A. insignia. The replica was made from a mold of the original, principally because the terra cotta insignia was crumbling too badly to be saved.
The Conroy Honors Center was placed on the State of New Mexico Cultural Properties register in 1983 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Q: I need a function to be constantly running I'm currently making a website with changing content and thus changing footer.
I have a function which adapts the footer to the content, it looks like this:
(function() {
    var contentHeight = $('#contentwrap').height();
    $('footer').css('top', 510 + contentHeight + 'px');
});

It's currently bound to onClick() and I tried setTimeout() but that doesn't work either since I can't predict the time it takes to load the content.
I can't get it to work with setInterval() which seems to be the thing for constantly updating functions.
Please help me
EDIT:
I am aiming for the above function to be running all the time or in short intervals, but don't know how to do it.

A: Use setTimeout; it is slightly more efficient than setInterval (http://reallifejs.com/brainchunks/repeated-events-timeout-or-interval/)
As far as load time, there isn't any way around that. The AJAX request load time will be vary. You could request AJAX at the beginning of the setTimeout and hopefully you have it by the time it completes (you'll need a fallback if it doesn't complete by then). But, in that situation you aren't necessarily getting the "latest" data. My recommendation is just go with a setTimeout, and have the AJAX request occur then. The complete function will update the data on the page...yes...it won't be perfectly timed, but it should be half-way decent.

A: I think jQuery resize() will helps you:
$("#contentwrap").resize(function(){
    var contentHeight = $(this).height();
    //fix footer to bottom if content < window
    if(contentheight+510+$('footer').height() >$(window).height()) contentHeight = $(window).height()-510;
    $('footer').css('top', 510 + contentHeight + 'px');
});

The PCSA is the host club for a series of monthly benchrest competitions during the summer at the club's outdoor range south of Montezuma. The events follow the U.S. Benchrest Association rules (USBR rules are a guideline for the club's matches). The entry fee of $5 qualifies shooters to enter as many classes and rifles as they wish with no additional cost.
Rimfire benchrest matches are shot at standard USBR targets, which have 25 four-inch bullseyes, set at 50 yards from the shooting benches. Competitors have ample sighters and 20 minutes to complete the 25 bulls.
The targets are extremely challenging: the outside dimension (the four ring) is slightly more than two inches. The center ten ring is only one tenth of an inch. In order to score an X, a shooter must entirely cover the ten ring. All shooting is for score, not groups.
For centerfire classes, the targets are the same, but they are moved out to 100 yards and limited to ten bulls in order to prevent overheating of the larger calibers. Any guns less than .50 caliber are legal.
Unlimited classes may use one-piece rests. All other classes must use two-piece styles with no connection between front and back. Most benchrest shooters use adjustable mechanical front rests with sandbag tops in conjunction with a small rear bag, usually a "rabbit ear" sand bag.
Rifles cannot be attached to the rests and they must be fired directly from behind by means of the ordinary triggers.
The USBR classes accommodate almost any rifle from the simplest and least expensive to custom-built target guns, and you can compete in as many classes as you have guns and you can shoot more than one gun in any class and you can shoot the same gun in more than one class.
we will wait it out and try to shoot, if heavy rain match canceled.

What happens when the bonds of friendship unravel into illusions and lies?
Infallible is the story of Amber, a keen and curious girl from Amsterdam, filled with open-eyed expectations. In Paris, she meets the thrilling persona of Cleo, and a force pulls them together: Cleo the infallible, Amber the ambitious.
Together they set off for New York where Cleo's charms prevail over every obstacle the city has in store for them. Their friendship deepens and Cleo encourages Amber to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a photographer. But as Amber's fantasies are being realized, they are also undermined. Slowly she unmasks her friend and mentor to be a master of deception.
When Amber discovers a shocking secret behind their success, she returns to Amsterdam alone. But she is lost without Cleo's charms. Why does she condemn lying when it brings so many benefits? Amber tries to find Cleo and reunite their lives, but during her absence Cleo's fate has taken a tragic turn. All along, it was Amber's unconditional love that made Cleo infallible.
Infallible is the story of two women lost in an intense and mysterious friendship. What is identity in a world where truth has lost its absolute value and life and fiction are no longer distinguishable?
Acclaim for Infallible

La Rosiere ski holidays - a wonderful authentic ski resort perched at 1850m in Haute-Tarentaise Valley and just 8kms from the Italian border and the Aosta Valley.
With the connection to La Thuile on the Italian side via the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass, there is over 160km of pistes to explore for all levels of skier and snowboarder. From the top lift, you are 6km from the village and have 1100m of vertical to navigate!
La Rosiere is a tranquil alpine village and the apres-ski is very much low key. The compact centre means everything is close by and the main streets are home to several boutiques, cafes, wine bars and family run restaurants - the emphasis being on quality.
The self catering ski holiday accommodation in La Rosiere is typical of the region with a good mix of ski chalets and town houses in and around the main village.
The main difference to some of the larger international ski holiday resorts is that all the buildings in La Rosiere are buily from local stone and wood meaning the chalets and residences blend in perfectly with the alpine environment.
We think La Rosiere is one of the prettiest villages in the area that is steeped in history and tradition. Whilst low key when compared to some of the larger French ski resorts, La Rosiere offers great value ski holidays with access to a world class ski area.
For more information on skiing holidays in La Rosiere, please see our La Rosiere resort guide.

The spring 2018 Interweave Knits is now arriving in stores and mailboxes, and I'm excited to share that I have a new sweater design in this issue.
The Evergreen Mountain Pullover features striking sculptural and textural lace on the back and front, with patterning that's easy to memorize and satisfying to knit. The body of this drop-shoulder pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces and blocked before the neck and sleeves are worked in the round.
The call for submissions for this issue asked designers what they'd most like to wear on a springtime retreat in the mountains. (Doesn't that sound nice? Wish I could go on one!) For me, the perfect sweater would have a casual, relaxed fit — a comfy pullover that's warm enough for chilly mornings when layered over a heavy T or a long-sleeve shirt — but also comfortable on warmer spring days when worn over something lighter, like a camisole.
I do love to knit sweaters in the round, but for Evergreen Mountain I chose to knit the front and back separately. That's because the stitch pattern really needs to be well blocked to open up and reveal its true beauty. I knew the blocking would be much more effective if the pieces were knit flat. After the sides are seamed, though, the sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and then the sleeves are knit in the round, downwards to the cuff.
This sweater has one of my very favorite neckbands: a 1x1 rib that's knit to double the intended length, then folded to the inside and sewn in place. It's a little more knitting than just binding off in pattern, but I think the end result is well worth it.
For this design, I didn't use the same ribbing on the hem, sleeve cuffs, and neckband. Instead, they're all different — the split hems have a wide rib that flows perfectly into the lace stitch of the body, while the sleeves have a 2x2 ribbing. I could have used the wide rib on the cuffs, but I felt it would have been out of proportion on that narrower circumference.
Evergreen Mountain is knit in a worsted weight wool — Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok worsted. It was new to me, and I liked it quite a lot. It worked beautifully for the lace stitch and produced smooth and even stockinette on the sleeves. I would love to knit another sweater with it, especially with one of the natural (undyed) colors.
If you'd like to cast on your own Evergreen Mountain, you can get the spring 2018 Interweave Knits online — or look for it at your LYS or local bookstore.
Sweater weather is finally here! There's been a delicious crispness in the air in recent days, and I'm so excited to finally break out my hand-knit cowls, fingerless mitts, hats, shawls, and sweaters. As I type this, I'm wearing a brand-new sweater design, just released on Ravelry: the Mount Pollux pullover.
This roomy tunic-length pullover is named after the Mount Pollux Conservation Area in Amherst, Massachusetts, where the photos were taken. It's designed with a comfy, relaxed fit (shown here modeled with about 10 inches/25 cm positive ease).
To celebrate its release, I'm having an introductory sale: through Sunday, November 19, save 25% on Mount Pollux in my Ravelry store with the coupon code MTPOLLUX25.
Mount Pollux is worked mostly seamlessly. After the split hems are worked flat and joined on a circular needle, the body is worked in the round to the armholes. The upper front and back are worked separately and the shoulders are seamed. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked from the top down in the round. I love this method of knitting sleeves because you can try them on as you go to get exactly the length you prefer.
Knit in worsted weight yarn, Mount Pollux features a satisfying mix of knit-purl textures, garter stitch, and lace. For the sample, I used Quince & Co. Owl, a wool/alpaca blend. This was my first time knitting with Owl, and I fell in love with its softness and lovely halo. It knitted up effortlessly into a sweater that's incredibly warm — perfect for chilly winter days ahead.
I loved knitting this sweater — it was one of my favorite projects of 2017. And I love wearing it even more. I hope you enjoy it, too. Thanks very much for reading!
I'm excited to be putting finishing touches on the pattern for my Rhinebeck sweater! Just a few more photos to edit and final tweaks to the text and it will be ready. It's called Mount Pollux, after the conservation area in Amherst, Massachusetts, where I shot the photos.
With this design, I'm bucking the "rule" that lace is for spring and summer. The sweater combines a lace stitch that's dense rather than open and airy with contrasting knit-purl textures and garter stitch accents. Worked in wool/alpaca worsted weight yarn (I used Quince & Co. Owl), Mount Pollux will keep you warm and cozy all winter.
This sweater is meant to be worn with a good amount of positive ease, for a relaxed, oversized fit. On my sister Betsey, who modeled, the sweater had a lot of ease (about 10 inches). On me, it's more fitted yet still relaxed, with about 6 inches of ease — just the look I was hoping for.
I look forward to releasing the pattern next week. If you don't already subscribe to my email list, now's a good time to sign up — there will be a special coupon code in the next one.
The recent warm weather here in New England has been nice, but it also makes me a little nervous — is it global warming, or just an unusually warm fall? I hope these unseasonably high temperatures don't continue through the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival, coming up October 21-22. If it's hot, no one will want to wear their Rhinebeck sweaters or shawls!
I'm so looking forward to Rhinebeck — seeing (and petting and hearing) lots of pretty sheep and goats. And — of course — checking out everybody's gorgeous knitwear. Maybe if all of us knitters wish for crisp, cool, and bright weather, we can make it happen. Let's try!
I'm working like mad on my Rhinebeck sweater and am optimistic it will be finished in time. The pattern won't be published until November, but I can share a few details now: it's a casual women's pullover, with modified drop shoulders, knit in worsted weight yarn (I'm using Quince & Co. Owl, a wool/alpaca blend). It's worked in the round from the bottom up and the only seaming is at the shoulders (or, if you hate seaming, use a three-needle bind-off instead). More details soon!
The other new design I'm working on is the third and final accessory for my Dragonfly Days collection (the first two were the Enallagma Shawl and the Cordulia Cowl). This time around, I've mixed in some cables with the dragonfly lace, to create a crescent-shaped shawl. Worked in bulky weight yarn — Brooklyn Tweed's Quarry — it will be super warm and cozy, perfect for chilly winter days.
In other news: My Chili Pepper Cardigan from the fall 2017 Knitscene is now available as an instant download from Interweave. Did you know my patterns in the Interweave family of publications are available as digital downloads? I participate in the Designer's Choice program, which means my patterns appear both in the magazines and in the Interweave online store. It's a nice program both for knitters and designers — knitters can purchase individual patterns long after the print magazine is no longer on store shelves, and designers receive royalties for those digital sales.
Are you going to Rhinebeck this year? If you're working on a Rhinebeck sweater, I hope it's going well and you finish with plenty of time to spare!
It may be far too warm for wool sweaters right now, but that doesn't stop me thinking about them! The knitting part of my brain is already obsessed with fall. In fact, this week I cast on my Rhinebeck sweater. It's a new design — a pullover in worsted weight yarn (Quince & Co. Owl). More on that in the weeks ahead.
With this post, I'm introducing a new feature on the blog — Throwback Thursdays. Every now and then, I'll post about an "oldie but goodie," to introduce newer followers of my designs to patterns they may not have seen yet (and maybe remind longtime followers about designs they forgot they had in their queues!).
So let's start with one of my most popular sweater patterns, the Pomegranate Pullover.
Knit in sportweight yarn (I used Quince & Co. Chickadee), Pomegranate features a wide lace panel on front and back, deep hip ribbing, and crisp twisted ribbing on the sleeves and neckband. It's worked in the round from the bottom up and there's not much seaming — just the shoulders — because the set-in sleeves are worked top down, using short rows to shape the sleeve caps.
It's a versatile, classic pattern that looks terrific on many different figures. More than 170 knitters have posted finished Pomegranates on Ravelry, and it's really wonderful to see the wide range of colors and yarns they've used with great success. It's also nice to read how some knitters have made modifications to make this design truly their own. Some have knit long sleeves, some have converted it to a cardigan, others have skipped the lace on the back, and some have changed up the style of the neckband.
Want to give Pomegranate a try? The pattern is on sale in my Ravelry store for 25% off today through Sunday, August 6, with the coupon code POM25. Happy fall knitting!
The fall 2017 Knitscene is out! It's full of beautiful sweaters—including my Chili Pepper Cardigan.
Chili Pepper is an open-front cardigan featuring a pretty lozenge stitch on its cuffs and fronts. It's a comfortable classic you'll wear for years to come—and it's equally at home in the office or on weekends.
Knit in DK weight yarn (Valley Yarns Northfield, a soft merino/alpaca/silk blend), Chili Pepper is nearly seamless. It's worked in one piece to the armholes, then fronts and back are knit separately. After seaming the shoulders and back neck, the sleeves are worked top down, in the round. A touch of shaping gives the body a swingy, A-line shape.
In addition to lots of great patterns, the fall Knitscene has an article on slipstitch colorwork, tips for getting a good fit, and an interview with Krysten Ritter. Find it at your favorite yarn shop or bookstore or purchase the digital issue directly from Interweave.

Codex Boreelianus, pełna nazwa Codex Boreelianus Rheno-Trajectinus, oznaczany przez sigla Fe albo 09 na liście Gregory-Aland, oraz przez ε 86 na liście von Sodena – uncjalny rękopis czterech Ewangelii w języku greckim, sporządzony na pergaminie. Kodeks pisany jest późną uncjałą, paleograficznie datowany jest na IX wiek. Rękopis ma liczne braki i uszkodzenia, których większość powstała w czasach nowożytnych.

Rękopis reprezentuje tradycję bizantyńską tekstualną, tak jak większość rękopisów, ma jednak pewne odchylenia, niektóre z jego wariantów nie występują w żadnym innym rękopisie. Jakkolwiek ten typ tekstu nie jest wysoko oceniany przez krytyków tekstu, rękopis cytowany jest w krytycznych wydaniach Nowego Testamentu. Przywieziony został ze Wschodu na początku XVII wieku i przez ponad sto lat był w prywatnych rękach. Od 1830 roku przechowywany jest w Utrechcie. Tekst rękopisu jest cytowany we współczesnych wydaniach krytycznych Nowego Testamentu.

Opis
Zachowało się 204 pergaminowych kart kodeksu (28,5 na 22 cm) oraz fragmenty. Posiada wiele braków, ma dużą lukę na początku i końcu kodeksu oraz szereg mniejszych luk we wszystkich ewangeliach. Najwięcej braków jest w Ewangelii Łukasza.

 Luki
 Mateusz 1,1–9,1; 12,1–44; 13,55–14,9; 15,20–31; 20,18–21,5;
 Marek 1,43–2,8; 2,23–3,5; 11,6–26; 14,54–15,5; 15,39–16,19;
 w Łukaszu – 24 luki
 Jan 3,5–14; 4,23–38; 5,18–38; 6,39–63; 7,28–8,10; 10,32–11,3; 12,14–25; 13,34–fin.

Karty kodeksu, pojedyncze oraz podwójne, nie są ułożone w foliały. Tekst pisany jest w dwóch kolumnach na stronie, 19 (i więcej) linijek w kolumnie, wielką uncjałą. Litery Η, Μ, Ν i Π, mają kwadratowy kształt, podczas gdy litery Ε, Θ, Ο, Σ i Φ – okrągły. Litery Δ, Ε, Θ, Ο, a zwłaszcza Ψ w kształcie krzyża, noszą cechy późnej uncjały i przemawiają za późnym datowaniem kodeksu. Charakter pisma jest staranny i elegancki. Przed Ewangeliami znajdują się dekorowane nagłówki, ozdobne inicjały. Paleograficznie jest bliski dla Kodeksu Seideliańskiego I.

Nomina sacra pisane są skrótami: ΘΣ dla θεος (Bóg), ΙΣ dla Ιησους (Jezus), ΧΣ dla χριστος (Chrystus), ΚΣ dla κυριος (Pan), ΥΣ dla υιος (Syn), ΣΗΡ dla σωτηρ (zbawiciel), ΣΡΑ dla σωτηρια (zbawienie), ΣΡΙΟΣ dla σωτηριος (zbawiający), ΟΥΝΟΣ dla ουρανος (niebo), ΟΥΝΙΟΣ dla ουρανιος, ΠΝΑ dla πνευμα (duch), ΠΗΡ dla πατηρ (ojciec), ΜΗΡ dla μητηρ (matka), ΑΝΟΣ dla ανθρωπος (człowiek), ΣΤΡΣ dla σταυρος (krzyż), ΔΑΔ dla δαβιδ (Dawid), ΙΗΛ dla ισραηλ (Izrael), ΙΛΗΜ dla ιερουσαλημ (Jeruzalem), ponadto stosowane są także inne skróty. Skracane są niekiedy wyrazy na końcu linijki.

Okazyjnie stosowane są ligatury dla dyftongów i sylab. Przydechy i akcenty na ogół stosowane są w sposób regularny i prawidłowy. Przydechy oznaczane są przy pomocy znaków ⊢ oraz ⊣, często używanych w rękopisach z wieków IX i X. Nad literami I oraz Y występuje diereza, zazwyczaj jest to dwukropek (Ϊ, Ϋ), czasem jednak pozioma kreska na literą (Υ). Często występuje hiatus, N efelkystikon, błąd itacyzmu jest rzadki.

Tekst rękopisu dzielony jest według krótkich Sekcji Ammoniusza (w kolorze czerwonym), ale bez odniesień do kanonów Euzebiusza. Ponadto każdy akapit rozpoczynany jest przez inicjał umieszczany na marginesie tekstu, służy to do wyodrębnienia jeszcze mniejszych jednostek, poszczególnych perykop. Wskazują one w którym miejscu rozpoczyna się nowa perykopa. W tekście nie występuje podział według długich κεφαλαια (rozdziałów), ich τιτλοι (tytuły) wraz z numerami zapisane są w górnym marginesie. Miejsce w tekście, do którego odnosi się τιτλοι, oznaczane jest przy pomocy umieszczonego na marginesie krzyża. Przed Ewangeliami umieszczone zostały listy κεφαλαια (spis rozdziałów). Wersety oddzielone są punktami, podobnie jak w Kodeksie Cypryjskim. Stosowany jest również asterysk dla oznaczenia opuszczonego tekstu.

Błędy poprawione zostały przez kopistę, który sporządzał rękopis (np. κραβατον → κραβαττον). Nad manuskryptem pracowało kilku korektorów, wśród nich skryba, który pierwszy go sporządził. Liczba dokonanych korekt jest niewielka.

Tekst

Grecki tekst kodeksu reprezentuje bizantyńską tradycję tekstualną i jest ważnym jego świadkiem (ze względu na wiek). Według Kurt i Barbary Aland jest zgodny z tekstem bizantyjskim przeciwko tekstowi "oryginalnemu" 156 razy, 78 razy zgodny jest z tekstem bizantyjskim i oryginalnym jednocześnie, ani razu nie wspiera tekstu oryginalnego przeciwko bizantyjskiemu, posiada 11 szczególnych wariantów (Sonderlesarten). W oparciu o ten profil Alandowie zaliczyli go do V kategorii.

Tekst rękopisu zaliczany jest do rodziny tekstualnej E (Sodena Ki), uchodzącej za najstarszą rodzinę tekstu bizantyjskiego. Frederik Wisse zbadał pierwszy rozdział Ewangelii Łukasza według Claremont Profile Method, tj. metody wielokrotnych wariantów. Uzyskany przezeń profil tekstualny wskazuje, że tekst rękopisu w Łk 1 jest wynikiem zmieszania kilku rodzin bizantyjski w Łk 1. W Łk 10 oraz Łk 20 rękopis nie był badany tą metodą ze względu na braki rękopisu w tych rozdziałach.

Historia

H. Deane w 1876 datował rękopis na VIII wiek, Tischendorf i Gregory – na IX wiek, Tregelles i Doedes – na X wiek. Obecnie kodeks datowany jest przez Instytut Badań Tekstu Nowego Testamentu na wiek IX. Miejsce powstania rękopisu jest trudne do ustalenia, wskazywano południową Francję, Szwajcarię, Włochy. Zdobiony nagłówek na początku Ewangelii Marka sugerować może zarówno pochodzenie egipskie, jak i iryjskie. Na początku Ewangelii Jana znajduje się inicjał dla litery epsilon z ręką w geście błogosławieństwa, motyw ten jest charakterystyczny dla łacińskiej sztuki. Zdaniem Gregory'ego zachodnie pochodzenie jest najbardziej prawdopodobne.

Codex Boreelianus otrzymał swoją nazwę od imienia jego właściciela, Jana Boreela (1577–1629), holenderskiego ambasadora na dworze króla Jakuba I (1603–1625). Nie wiadomo, w jaki sposób Boreel wszedł w posiadanie kodeksu. Przypuszcza się, że przywiózł rękopis podczas jednej ze swoich podróży na Wschód. Najstarsza informacja, wiążąca kodeks z Boreelem, pochodzi od Wettsteina. Sam Wettstein podaje, że aktualne miejsce przechowywania kodeksu jest dlań nieznane.

W 1730 Johann Jakob Wettstein otrzymał partię tekstu do Łukasza 11, skolacjonowaną przez Izaaka Verburga, rektora gimnazjum w Amsterdamie. Według świadectwa Wettsteina w owym czasie Ewangelia Mateusza zaczynała się w 7,6, ponadto posiadała lukę po Mt 13,25 do końca rozdziału oraz w Mk 10,6–16. Oznacza to, że w XVIII wieku kodeks był bardziej kompletny niż obecnie. W swoim Novum Testamentum Graecum (1751) Wettstein cytował m.in. te partie kodeksu, które nie zachowały się do dnia dzisiejszego (np. w Mt 7,9). Wettstein nadał dla kodeksu siglum F, którym po dziś dzień jest oznaczany. Przed Wettsteinem żaden z biblistów nie wiedział o istnieniu kodeksu.

Po śmierci Boreela, pierwszego właściciela kodeksu, rękopis znalazł się w rękach prywatnych. Nie wszystkich jego posiadaczy można zidentyfikować. Biblioteka Jana Boreela została sprzedana w 1632, nie wiadomo jednak, czy wraz z kodeksem. Kodeks przez pewien czas mógł pozostać w rękach rodziny Boreelów. W owym czasie manuskrypt uległ licznym i poważnym uszkodzeniom, a znaczne jego partie zaginęły. Scrivener odnotował, że niewiele jest rękopisów, które wpadły w tak "niegodne ręce". Kolejny pewny punkt w dziejach kodeksu to rok 1823, kiedy Jodocus Heringa (1765–1840), profesor z Utrechtu, znalazł go w prywatnej kolekcji Johannesa Michaelisa Roukensa w Arnhem. Heringa zidentyfikował go z kodeksem F Wettsteina. Roukens wyjaśnił, że odziedziczył kodeks po swoim ojcu – Arendzie Antonie Roukensie, który z kolei odziedziczył go po swoim ojcu – Janie Michale Roukensie. Nie wiadomo, w jaki sposób kodeks przeszedł z rąk rodziny Boreelów do rodziny Roukensów. Na stronie 168 recto kodeksu znajduje się monogram NLB z datą "9 lutego 1756". Tych liter nie da się przypisać do inicjałów żadnego znanego przedstawiciela rodziny Roukensów. Na stronach 40 recto i 40 verso znajdują się trudne do odczytania noty w języku holenderskim.

H. E. Vinke zakupił rękopis od Roukensa dla Uniwersytetu w Utrechcie. W 1841 Konstantin von Tischendorf odwiedził Utrecht z zamiarem studiowania kodeksu, jednak nie udostępniono mu go, pozwolono jedynie przejrzeć notatki, jakie sporządził Heringa. Notatki te wydał Vinke w 1843. Kodeks był później przeglądany przez takich uczonych, jak: Jean-Baptiste François Pitra (1812–89), F. B. Adèr (zm. 1861) oraz Samuel Prideaux Tregelles w 1850. Od tego czasu długo nie było zainteresowania kodeksem. W 2007 oglądał go David Trobisch. W październiku 2007 kodeks został zdigitalizowany.

Kodeks ma opinię rękopisu trzeciorzędnego. Philipp Schaff we Wprowadzeniu do amerykańskiego wydania Westcotta-Horta napisał, iż nie jest to ważny rękopis. Niemniej jest cytowany w krytycznych wydaniach greckiego tekstu Nowego Testamentu. Wydanie Nestle-Alanda robi to już od pierwszego wiersza kodeksu (tj. Mt 9,1).

Od 1830 przechowywany jest w bibliotece Uniwersytetu w Utrechcie (Univ. Bibl. Ms. 1).

Kodeks cytowany jest we współczesnych krytycznych wydaniach greckiego tekstu Nowego Testamentu UBS-u (UBS3, UBS4). Wydania Nestle-Alanda cytują go rzadko (NA26), w 27 wydaniu (NA27) nie został zaliczony nawet do świadków II rzędu cytowania.

I'm sorry, but I didn't see a thought from you in there anywhere... Did you forget to comment in your own post?
I let Pat Condell comment on my behalf.
He can express my sentiments so much better than I would.
I like progressives even less than Pat.
Ever watch Ben Shapiro? Reminds me of William F Buckley.
How would one know, if you can't post an expression of your views for yourself? One of the things I admire least is just using others to say your thoughts.
I watch Ben all the time. He is fast talking, I really have to pay attention or miss half of it.
And after 3 posts in exchange, you still aren't getting at the fact that you seem to depend on videos for your posts.
All I'm saying is that you should include some comments that suggest you have some understanding of what you posted. Otherwise, it's just propaganda.
You prefer your own propaganda, or someone's own propaganda. pr126 is showing false modesty. I think he could write more, if he wanted to.
I wish he would. I don't see much point in debating videos. Have you seen me using any for support?
Well, maybe you aren't into that. Which is fine. I agree, that your own trash is better than someone else's trash.
Admit it, you suggested a similarity that wasn't there. Smile and accept it... Do better than a grudging admission. I've earned it.

Bhutanese language and literature, the arts and crafts, ceremonies and events, and basic social and cultural values draw their essence from religious teachings. The tradition of fine art is alive today, manifested, for example, in exquisite traditional painting visible on monasteries and houses, skillfully enhancing the architecture.
Architecture is also a significant feature of the Bhutanese identity. The combination of engineering skill and aesthetic beauty is unparalleled in all structures, from the massive monastic fortresses to houses and bridges. Traditional shapes, colours and patterns on the walls, doors, windows, put Bhutanese architecture in a class of its own.
Music, dance, and handicrafts, both by the clergy and the lay population, play an important role in national, village, or domestic functions and festivals. Bhutan's textile tradition has, in recent years, gone international. The distinct technique, colour and style of indigenous Bhutanese weaving is being increasingly appreciated by textile specialists, collectors, and users.
The national language of Bhutan is Dzongkha. The people also speak more than 18 dialects across the country. Today, English is taught in the schools and is used as the official working language, but the national leaders emphasise the development and use of Dzongkha.

The Blitz continues with sustained Luftwaffe attacks on British cities. As the bombing went on the urban population got used to the black out, the air raid sirens and nights spent in shelter. The idea emerged (to some extent a myth) of the 'spirit of the Blitz' where people pulled together united, disregarding traditional class and social divisions.
Frank Whittle demonstrates the first test-flight of a plane powered by jet propulsion. Although the German, Hans von Ohain, built the first jet plane, Whittle was the first to patent a design for the jet engine (in 1930), and his subsequent work helped to advance the technology and made Britain leaders in the field.
The Soviet Union and America join the Allies. The Soviet Union was forced to switch sides after Hitler attacked in June 1941, reneging the Soviet-Nazi pact. Six months later the US Navy was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbour. The following day the USA declared war on Japan, and three days later Germany and Italy declared war on America.

This edited quantity examines the complexities of the chilly warfare in Southern Africa and makes use of a number of documents to improve a extra targeted realizing of the effect of the chilly conflict atmosphere upon the tactics of political change.
In the aftermath of eu decolonization, the fight among white minority governments and black liberation pursuits inspired each side to allure for exterior help from the 2 superpower blocs. Cold conflict in Southern Africa highlights the significance of the worldwide ideological setting at the perceptions and consequent behaviour of the white minority regimes, the Black Nationalist routine, and the newly self sufficient African nationalist governments. jointly, they underline the diversity of archival resources at the background of Southern Africa within the chilly battle and its transforming into significance in chilly struggle Studies.
This e-book will entice scholars of chilly struggle reports, US international coverage, African politics and foreign historical past.
Utilizing a cultural stories technique, this publication explores how the Spanish colonization of North Africa keeps to hang-out Spain's efforts to articulate a countrywide id which could accommodate either the country's variety, led to by way of immigration from its outdated colonies, and the postnational calls for of its integration within the ecu Union.
Even supposing a lot has been written concerning the behavior of the struggle in South Africa, little or no has been written approximately the way it was once looked at the international degree by way of powers either nice and small. This choice of particularly commissioned essays seeks for the 1st time to place the Boer conflict (1899-1902) in its overseas context.
During this ebook we're given a distinct view of East Africa of the Nineteen Fifties; no longer the stereotyped photo of natural world safaris and jumping Masai, however the rising independence fight of a brand new African country from the perspective of a white police workplace, in an extremely designated, completely readable, firsthand account of an extraordinary interval of contemporary background.
During this wide-ranging heritage of the African diaspora and slavery in Arabia within the 19th and early 20th centuries, Matthew S.

Old and new spaces of the automotive industry: towards a new balance?
Inscription form for the 2019 colloquium
Having put the emphasis on Europe during our two last colloquiums, this year's colloquium in Kyoto will shed light on the overall tendencies in the Asian automobile industry. Asia appears as the main "driver of change", in terms of sales and production volumes, and from the point of view of firm strategies, local policies, industrial policies, innovation (technologies, products, organizations), etc. Besides, the main ambition of the 22nd international colloquium of GERPISA is a deepening of our understanding of the restructuring/structuring processes, and their relationships with one another (codeterminations and mutual influences). The reshaping of the international automotive industry since the mid-2000s can not be fully grasped without taking into account these factors, at firm, supra national, national, and regional levels. For instance, it is important to understand that industrial policies in emerging markets can greatly influence local, domestic and international profit strategies of global carmakers and suppliers. It also appears that these trends have a deep impact on the reconfiguration of national automotive industries' structures and organizations. To that extent, the role of newcomers in the overall restructuring of the industry has to be analyzed from the viewpoint of balance of power. Furthermore, this role not only reconfigures the power relationships within the industry, but also the productive organization and the patterns of transactions at several levels of the industry. From this perspective, the colloquium has for its second main target, from a more theoretical standpoint, the grasping of the interactions between institutions, markets and organizations, and how they relate to the formulation of local and global equilibriums.
How to get to Kyoto
The easiest way to get to Kyoto from the Itami and KIX airports (from the airports to the hotel of your choice) is to use the MK taxis (online reservation):

We are all super heroes - you need a little magic to get them out. Let's look at Billy Batson (Asher Angel), a 14-year-old child, he's a receptionist. In the film, the guy gets into the family. Becomes friends with a fan of comic books Freddie. The bicycle ride was interrupted by a strange old man. As it turned out after this is an ancient wizard. For many centuries he sought a successor to himself to give him his strength. The choice fell on Billy. Now Billy has the power, you just need to shout out the word "Shazam!".
On our site you can watch Shazam! (2019) online totally FREE in high HD 720p, Full HD 1080p, Ultra HD 4K quality on your phone (smartphone), tablet (Android, iOS) and on your computer.


The possibility of being knocked to the ground and having to get back up safely, while an attacker looms overhead, can be a grim one. I've seen several "streetfight" videos where the individual who is knocked down actually receives far more damaging blows from the opponent AS THEY ATTEMPT TO GET BACK UP! Most often, kicks to the head (football punt style) are used as the hapless person's head becomes an easy target.
Notice Lauren gets her feet in between her and the attacker to make it harder for him to subdue her. The photos are relatively "still-posed" to show the mechanics of the movement.
Notice how Lauren improves her mobility by staying low, but having the ability to "spin" and keep her legs in between herself and the attacker!
As Lauren delivers the kicks to the attacker's legs, she'll look for the opportunity to begin to get up. You can use the lines on the mats to get a reference for her motion.
YOU CAN GET UP BY BRINGING YOUR FEET UNDERNEATH YOUR HEAD ;-) WHICH KEEPS YOUR HEAD AWAY FROM THE ATTACKER!
To begin to get up, Lauren will turn onto one side, usually after delivering a kick that creates a bit of space and has hurt the attacker somewhat.
Now that Lauren has begun to turn onto one side, she will plant the "high" foot as close to her rear end as possible. She will also place her bottom hand on the ground so that she has two points of contact with the ground. This structure forms the beginning of a "body bridge" that will allow her to swing her bottom leg backward to get that foot underneath her.
If the attacker rushes in, she can "collapse" back onto her back easily and begin the cycle all over again.
In these photos, I had Lauren keep her top hand down for clarity....she would have it up to guard her head during these moves!
Now that Lauren has formed the two-point "bridge" of hand/foot, she is able to lift her body off the ground slightly. When she lifts up, she will drag her bottom leg underneath her, so that she is kneeling on the shin of the bottom leg.
Lauren now stands fully up, ready to continue her defense or run away.
Thanks to Bruce for holding so still to show the distance relationships as Lauren went through the moves!
Another option which we've worked with is to turn over and face the ground as you assume a "sprinter's start" position. You can then simply run away, because you're all set to go.
I'd encourage folks to try out both of these tactics and see what works for you!
Thanks, that's it for this escape!


If your floors are made of pine, hemlock, fir, cypress, spruce, cedar or certain species of bamboo, chances are you have softwood floors. Softwood floors tend to dent, scratch and ding easier than hardwood floors, so extra care must be heeded. Just like for hardwood floors, sweep first and then vacuum. Dirt, dust and other particles can scratch the floor when walked on. Be mindful of the floor cleaners you use. Every floor is different. Know which products the manufacturer recommends for your floors. As for all wood floors, moisture is a danger that can cause the floor boards to warp and separate, so when cleaning with a damp mop be sure to dry floors immediately after with a clean, dry towel. Accidental spills can mean big trouble for wood floors if ignored for too long. Clean up accidents as soon as they happen and always follow with a clean cloth or towel to dry.

Lest We Forget...
Memorial Day is an annual federal holiday observed in the United States on the last Monday of May. It's a day for remembering the men and women who have given their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly called Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War, but by the 20th century it had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. It typically marks the beginning of the summer vacation season, just as Labor Day marks its end. It's common for folks to visit cemeteries and military memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in service. In many places across the country, volunteers place American flags military graves.
By the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives in church cemeteries, whether they had served in the military or not. Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries, especially in the American South, are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer, notably in the mountain areas. Oftentimes, in family graveyards where long-deceased ancestors, as well as those more recently deceased, are buried, this becomes an occasion for an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. The people gathered put flowers on graves and get reacquainted with kinfolk and others. There's often also a religious service and a "dinner on the ground," i.e., a potluck in which people spread dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. This practice probably began before the Civil War, and so may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.
The holiday's name gradually changed from Decoration Day to Memorial Day, first used in 1882, but not more common until after World War II. It was declared the official name by Federal law only in 1967. On June 28, 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, moving four holidays, including Memorial Day, from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend, a concept not entirely acceptable to many. The law moving Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May took effect at the federal level in 1971. After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply, all 50 states adopted Congress's change of date within a few years.
Scholars, following the lead of sociologist Robert Bellah, often hold that the U. S. has, in effect, a secular "civil religion", one not associated with any specific religious denomination or viewpoint, which has incorporated Memorial Day as a sacred event. A sense of corporate and individual obligation to carry out God's will on earth, at least theoretically, is a theme lying deep in the American psyche. With the Civil War, a new theme of death, sacrifice and rebirth entered the civil religion. Memorial Day gives ritual expression to many of these themes, heightening in the local citizenry a sense of nationalism. The American civil religion has generally borrowed from different religious traditions, so that the tension between the two is minimally apparent. Nevertheless, the gravitation towards more evangelical and fundamentalist influences in recent years, blending personal motivation with attaining national goals, has been and should be cause for concern.
O Judge of nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts
the men and women of our country who in the day of decision
ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may
not rest until all people of this land share the benefits of true freedom
and gladly accept its disciplines. This we ask in the name of
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Ensuring that corporate data is protected no matter the situation can require a multi-layered approach. Organizations cannot rely on just one method, according Seacoastonline columnist MJ Shoer, but instead should sit their strategies on a "three-legged stool" consisting of data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
As Shoer noted, most companies tend to put the majority of their focus on the backup portion of the plan, neglecting the other two. However, even the most expensive backup system does little without proper planning for the other two elements. By setting up a plan for recovering from disaster, organizations can make sure there is another copy of their data, and also that they get it back. With business continuity, they can take this process a step forward and get operations up and running no matter type of disaster strikes.
One new technology that Shoer puts forward as making a big difference for all the aspects of disaster preparedness is cloud computing. Although not the be all and end all of backup and recovery solutions, it can allow for near real-time backup and help companies get up and running even if they cannot access the physical office.
Despite the potential benefits, TechTarget notes that not all customers see business continuity and the cloud merging together with ease. First, providers must prove that in the event of a disaster, they themselves will be able to stay up and running first.

Fabulous new LEGO® Queer Eye set to celebrate creative expression and promote positivity
This special new set is in honour of the award-winning show that has brought tears to our eyes and joy to our hearts. The LEGO® Queer Eye – The Fab 5 Loft set is a model of the apartment that serves as the group's base in the show.
Queer Eye is all about building people up
The Fab Five use their own personal experiences – both positive and negative – to achieve a constructive and lasting impact for every single person, or heroes as the team prefers to call the people they meet.
I love being a part of the Fab Five, and through Queer Eye, I get to shed light on the beauty of the diversity of our community. That was my main hope, when I auditioned for the show, and I'm so grateful to be in this position
– Tan France
It's so important that folks have inclusion built into their creativity. So, for the LEGO Group to show support for topics like LGBTQIA+ inclusivity feels necessary and I'm excited that it is happening
– Jonathan Van Ness
To be able to make a show that has not only been a success but is also able to help millions of people to love themselves and others more is the biggest honor of my life
– Bobby Berk
It's the perfect pairing! LEGO® sets come together like a beautiful recipe – from these simple bricks you can create works of art that tell a story. And that feeling of joy that comes from sharing something that you've built, or cooked, or created, is something we love to celebrate on Queer Eye
– Antoni Porowski
As an adult, any creative process can help give you focus and take you out of your own head space. Buidling with LEGO® bricks is a perfect way to help you unwind and de-stress while also giving you a real sense of accomplishment with whatever you create so just like our show, LEGO building can help in a little way to piece together people's lives. This is the perfect partnership
– Karamo Brown
Clicking it all together
Just like it is for the Fab Five, teamwork is an essential part of developing a great LEGO® set. The fabulous team behind this set were VP of Design and lead designer of this model, Matthew Ashton, Senior Graphic Designer, Diego Sancho and Senior Element Designer, Ruth Kelly.
Bringing the loft to live
Diego had the important task of capturing the Fab Five's likeness in LEGO minifigure form, as well as designing all the decorations and sticker to bring the loft to life: " I got the opportunity to do my personal take of the artwork for the loft, to add some nice Easter Eggs for the fans! I created a 'Yaaas Queen' print for the kitchen to celebrate the fun LGBTQIA+ saying, and if you look closely at the unique brush-stroke art you will see it says FAB 5!"
Wig element in shimmering silver
For Ruth the challenge was very different: "We simply didn't have any existing wigs with a coif quite as voluminous as Tan's, so it was my job to sculpt a new one - in shimmering silver to really 'elevate' Tan's look!"
Rebuilding a more positive world
Matthew Ashton, Vice President of Design at the LEGO Group and lead designer of the new set, worked closely with the Fab Five and is proud of the collaboration and what it stands for.
He said: "Queer Eye has had such a positive impact on so many people's lives which is why we are excited for this collaboration. It reminds us that we need to take time to celebrate kindness and help build each other up. In this set we've captured themes central to both the LEGO Group and the show – caring, creativity, learning and fun. While the Fab Five rebuild people's lives, we are on a mission to inspire people to get creative and help rebuild a more positive world."
Inspiring future generations
Our mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. So with that as our focus, we are investing in helping to educate future generations about empathy and inclusivity through our partnerships with UK charity Diversity Role Models and US charity GLSEN.
Learning through play is a powerful force. We believe it can also help children and families learn about the world around them – including the importance of being inclusive and kind. We will continue to work with groups associated with the LGBTQIA+ community who work with families & children to build a more inclusive, equitable and empathetic society for future generations.
GLSEN exists to create safe and affirming schools for all K-12 students, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression, because no young person should have to choose between their wellbeing and education. The LEGO Group and GLSEN are working together to ensure educators have resources to foster safe and inclusive classrooms, and provide opportunities for students to learn through play.
Diversity Role Models
Diversity Role Models and the LEGO Group have partnered to help prevent bullying and discrimination towards LGBTQI+ students and individuals. DRM will design and rollout a programme of workshops and digital resources for schools and educators across England that will utilise LEGO bricks for activities to explore difference and build empathy and embed inclusion in young people.
LGBTQIA+ in the workplace: LEGO® Employee Advocacy
The LEGO Group has both Global and Local Employee Advocacy Groups, each comprising volunteers passionate about diversity and inclusion from all parts of the business. They work together to implement internal initiatives and events addressing local needs.
Our workplace partnerships
The LEGO Group is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. It partners with Workplace Pride, Stonewall and Open for Business to help shape strategies and programs to support employees who identify as LGBTQIA+ and allies across the company.


I originally intended to take the final this past Sunday, but didn't feel like it. I probably should've broken it up into two days because it's a little exhausting to do 24 of his problems at once. It took me about 3 hours total. About half I was able to do from the book and the other half I setup on the board. And just like other times, I suddenly was able to see ideas instantly that I missed before. I scored 34/47 for a bronze, missing silver by 2 points.
Overall, not too bad. Towards the end I was just happy to be done as I was getting a little worn out having done this after work. I did much better on strategy than I did in the modules and I was happy to have gotten my one positional play question correct. I would've liked a second question for that theme. I think I could've gotten the 3rd strategy question had I been a little fresher.
Five of the points I missed on tactics came from the chapter on pawn combinations. The three pointer was doable. I kept sniffing around the edges of the right solution, seeing some of the ideas but ultimately missed out. A nice problem that came from one of Yusupov's games.
And that's a wrap for Build Up Your Chess: The Fundamentals! I downloaded the Tarrasch book to my Kindle and I've been reading through the chapters. I skipped over the chapter on "The Elements" as it's very basic material on learning to play chess. Also skipped most of the endgame material as it was generally beginner level as well. I did stop on a few if the diagrams caught my eye.
I'm glad to finally be done with this. I'll take a short break before the next book as I try to work on the weaknesses that were revealed from doing the first book and to keep up with my other training. I also intend to ramp up my OTB play. Looking at my calendar, I should be able to get in a good 15-20 games by mid April. Perhaps a new milestone will be reached. Stay tuned!
Considering the level of Yusupov books, your final results are very encouraging.
i have just finished this book too, and my result not as good as yours : 31/47.
i'm very impressed by your working capacity, it takes me 8 month to finish the first yusupov book.
Do you plan to work on the second one ?
Keep working and i'm pretty sure you will reach your goal.
Where can we see your rating progress?
Awesome blog, love it! Great work you're doing here and very helpful.
1) How can you export the times from ChessHero to a spreadsheet?
2) Are you setting up every position from the Yusupov on a real board? Or do you use ChessHero for this too? Or do you work through it in a completely different way?
Keep up the good work, SilentKnight!
1) I couldn't find a way to export the stats. I would just look at the stats for a set,, sort them by problem # and manually enter the times into a spreadsheet.
2) With Yusupov, I generally go through the training examples on a board. With the problems, I go through and try to solve them from my head. If I can't after 5 minutes, I set the problem up on the board and give myself another 5-10 minutes. If I still can't come up with some solution (rare), I will move the pieces around. This is a slight variation on how he recommends you approach the problems. I don't want to waste the time setting it up on the board if I can see the answer right away from the diagram.
Thanks for the quick reply SilentKnight! This helps a lot, I really appreciate what you're doing here!
The Book "Yusupov Fundamentals - Book 1" is titled "Tigersprung auf DWZ 1500", 1. Band" in the German original ( http://www.jussupow.de/22982.html ). Its supose to enable a 1300 DWZ rated player to improve to 1500 DWZ ( together with the other 2 books + play.... ) . But most player think that the level of these books is way above this rating . DWZ supose to be equivalent to Fide ELO but these 1500 DWZ are estimatingly something like 1600 Elo.
So i wonder if this book did help you at your games in April?

2019 NC Early Childhood Action Plan Released
On February 27, at the Early Childhood Summit in Raleigh, Governor Roy Cooper released the state's 2019 NC Early Childhood Action Plan. The plan provides a framework to galvanize coordinated, statewide public-private action to achieve 10 measurable goals for young children that address health, safety, family resilience and learning outcomes. A public data dashboard tracking measurable targets for success will be launched as a companion to the plan.
"The foundation for future learning, health and well-being is built during early childhood," Gov. Cooper said.
"When we give children a fair chance for a strong foundation in their first years of life, we give them a better future and create healthier and more vibrant communities for all of us. That's why I am asking all North Carolinians to support this Early Childhood Action Plan and commit today to taking action for our young children."
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services led the development of the Early Childhood Action Plan in coordination with the Governor's Early Childhood Advisory Council as directed by an August 2018 Executive Order. Nearly 1,500 stakeholders, representing experts in early childhood, families from across the state and other leaders, provided input and feedback in drafting the plan.
"The department has had the honor of spearheading the development of the Early Childhood Action Plan with the support of the Early Childhood Advisory Council. Now we must take action to see it through," said Secretary Mandy Cohen, M.D. "Our department is committed to using every lever it has to realize the goals of the Early Childhood Action Plan, but we know this work is bigger than us. We look forward to working with families, policy makers, and our many partners to make this vision a reality."
