No pictures, but it seems a simple enough pattern.

Now that I'm working with my very frail in-laws a lot, it's sort of like feeding toddlers, and yet the nutritional needs are so different. They forget to do simple and basic things like drinking water, for example, though maybe that's a choice too, since they sometimes don't get the body's signals that it needs to delete the excess and they're not able to sprint down the hall to the bathroom anymore. Still, I usually enter the house and greet them now by filling a glass of water for each.

Just a chart to estimate yarn weights. While out of work, all I've really been able to do besides basic chores is knit, and now I want to reach for something more artistic, and this background info is useful to me.

Although linked readings credit the difference in Easter dates to the Julian calendar, I'm not so sure it matters since Easter is a moveable holiday. I always understood that Easter's date was based on a simple formula: The Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox, and after the Jewish Passover. The western churches have omitted the last requirement. I'm not sure where the actual calendar has any influence on the equinox or the phase of the moon. It does explain why a set-date holiday would be delayed, however, since December 25 on the Julian calendar reads to be Jan. 7 on the Gregorian.

It's sad so many buildings are left empty. However, a lot of Detroit has been "done over". Aside from the building, I feel miserable for the books as well. Having taught in the Detroit area a long time, the waste of the texts has long been more than rumor. I believe all districts are guilty of discarding out-of-date texts, sometimes never-used. What makes them out of date? So many reasons (excuses?) from their replacement by the newest fad-theory of instruction to texts being truly and seriously behind the times. I've rescued Latin texts, for example. So few public schools even offer Latin anymore. I wish we'd find ways to send usable books elsewhere, or at least offer the books to students. The pictures in the article are amazing.
