Felted Wool Fingerless Arm Warmers | Heart of a Country Home - http://heartofacountryhome.wordpress.com/2010...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"Cut the sleeves to the length you want the arm warmers to be. Pull them on your hand and mark where you want the thumb hole to be. Remove them and carefully cut a small slot to put your thumb through. Some hem around this hole, others do not. I chose to. Using embroidery floss, I hemmed the hole with the arm warmer on and my thumb poking through. It wasn’t perfect, but for the first time, it wasn’t bad either. Now’s the time to add any embelishments you want to add to the arm warmers. I chose 2 medium size black buttons since I was making these for my brother. I think they turned out great!" - Jenny H - -

"When you pull the sweater from the dryer, check to see if it shrank and if you can see the texture of the knitted stitches. If it did indeed shrink and the stitches aren’t visible, the sweater is felted and you’re ready to make the arm warmers." - Jenny H - -

Requisite background so I don't sound like such a lech. The FMO was sharpening a pencil in the automatic pencil sharpener for DAYS and I was like, "Yo! It's sharpened already!" And he says, "Nuh-uh!" And I said, "You probably have a 2 inch pencil at this point!" And he says, "You're just jealous." And I yell across the office, "I'm not jealous of your two inches!" And immediately bust out laughing and think, "Oops. Mebbe I shouldn't have yelled that across the office." Then, not 30 seconds later, I yell to the FMO, "Hey, I heard it's not size of the pencil that matters, but how you use it!" Doh! I totally fail on my "sensitivity" training. He took it really well. - Jenny H - -

Make Pens Work Using The Sole of Your Shoe - http://lifehacker.com/#!57558...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"We've all tried to get a recalcitrant pen working by scribbling furiously on a piece of paper. For a quicker and less messy solution, try using the sole of your shoe instead. This is one of those bits of folk wisdom that's probably been circulating for years, but I'd never encountered it until Gizmodo Australia editor Nick mentioned it casually yesterday. A quick test by our publisher Seamus confirmed that it works like a charm, and our speculation is that it might work better than paper by gripping more firmly to the ballpoint. Whatever the reason, it's a neat trick." - Jenny H - -

There are days when coffee is just a really, really, ridiculously delicious-tasting beverage. Then there are days when you look at that cup of coffee, willing it to lift you up and be the game changer you know it can be. Today would be the latter.

A Walk to Remember? Study Says Yes - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2011...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, “a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,” said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more." - Jenny H - -

"In healthy adults, the hippocampus — a part of the brain important to the formation of memories — begins to atrophy around 55 or 60. Now psychologists are suggesting that the hippocampus can be modestly expanded, and memory improved, by nothing more than regular walking." - Jenny H - -

Is The 'CSI Effect' Influencing Courtrooms? : NPR - http://www.npr.org/2011...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"The fictional forensic investigators in shows like CSI put old-time sleuths like Sherlock Holmes to shame. They can read a crime scene like it's a glossy magazine. But Post Mortem, an investigation by NPR, PBS Frontline and ProPublica, has exposed how death investigation in America is nothing like what you see on TV. Many prosecutors complain that shows like CSI make their job harder, as jurors demand ultra-high-tech tests to convict suspects. "I think that CSI has done some great things for medico-legal death investigations. It has brought what we do from the shadows — where people really didn't want to know and didn't care what we do — to the bright light of day," says Mike Murphy, the coroner for Clark County, Nev. His office was the model for the original CSI show." - Jenny H - -

""I think it makes it much harder for the experts. Juries now expect high-level science to be done on lots of cases where again we don't have the resources to do them and in many cases, the science doesn't exist to do them." Whatever the substance of the connection, lawyers, judges, and death investigators are acting as if the CSI Effect is real. Some states now allow lawyers to strike potential jurors based on their TV habits. Judges are issuing instructions that warn juries about expecting too much scientific evidence based on what they see on TV. In the field, Shelton says death investigators sometimes run useless tests, just to show they went the extra CSI mile." - Jenny H - -

Attending these wildlife commission meetings is always so eye opening for me. There are moments of utter frustration, times of comic relief, feelings of comradery, but underlying it all is the overwhelming sense that the government is so frickin' ineffectual.

Tonight I spent an hour sitting in my recliner and just staring at the walls. Looking at my tv, but not turning it on, staring at my books, but not reading any. Instead, I lost myself in thought and reacquainted myself with the sensation of a cat purring in my lap. It's been too long.
