Hello,

I've been attempting a knitting pattern and here's what it says to do:

Row 1 (RS): K9, k3tog, yo, k1, yo

This is supposed to be over 13 stitches, but after I knit three together, I'm out of stitches. I've run into this problem before on other patterns, so clearly I'm missing something here.

The full pattern is found here if it helps clarify anything.

Thanks.

A little less than two years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop. This has been the WORST laptop in the history of laptops. I have had no less than 23 problems with it, some of them including a failed hard drive, a failed screen, a broken CD Drive, and a bad battery. Some of these problems popped up more than once. While it was under warranty, I sent the entire thing back twice to get a brand new one! All in all, a truly terrible experience.

I need to get a new laptop, but after all the troubles I've had with Dell (whose customer service was barely adequate: I got what I wanted, but not after hours on the phone and being transferred countless times) I'm hesitant to buy another Dell laptop. I know several people who have had no problems whatsoever with theirs, but I don't want to risk another dud. So, should I risk another faulty Dell or do I jump ship and get an HP or Gateway laptop?

By the way, so far the laptops I'm looking into are the Gateway ID laptops, the HP Pavillion G4t and the Dell Inspiron 14R (If I decide I'm not through with Dell). I am also heading to college in the fall and need something that is relatively lightweight and can handle the kind of computing needed for college.

How would I do this? I don't understand it at all.

I am learning Japanese and can read hiragana/katakana, but don't yet know Kanji. Can someone translate 大嫌 into either hiragana or romanized?

(the full phrase is わたしは、あなたが大嫌いです and should mean "I hate you")

I'm doing a history project where I have to research how a TV show represents the 50's culture. My show is "I Love Lucy." I've been looking around and all I've found is how the show revolutionized TV. I'm looking more for how it represented the actual time period (stereotypes, the common life of the people and such) in America.
