Mike Lates of Skye Guides and author of last year's stunning SMC guidebook Skye The Cuillin gives us a roundup of the climbing action from Britain's most impressive mountain range in what's been a stunning spring and summer so far.
With the Gulf Stream heading south this year climbers making the annual pilgrimage to Skye have been treated to outstandingly good conditions in which to christen their brand new SMC guidebooks. The fine period started in mid-March and has only really broken down in the past few days. In nearly 20 years I can't remember a more prolonged dry period coinciding with the busiest time of the year. With dry rock and clear visibility first time visitors may have wondered why they had been warned to expect epics.
Possibly the biggest news was a very fast Traverse by Steve Ashworth in early June. In a very understated and under publicised account Steve describes how he finished in 3 hours and 25 minutes, just 8 minutes outside Es Tressider's record and the second fastest time on record. Steve already holds the record for the Winter Traverse and something tells me he may be paying us another visit before the end of this summer.
The Traverse was, as ever, top priority for many visitors and the good conditions lent themselves to a very relaxed attitude even amongst those who were clearly well behind schedule. The Sligachan bar seemed packed with successful parties every evening and I'd guess that the failure rate dropped dramatically. Through the hottest periods the alarm was consistently being set before 4am to make the most of the cool part of the day; by midday it was as if somebody had turned on a fan oven and progress became painfully slow. Water was a major issue for many and I had to change my own tactics to avoid dehydration in a number of different ways. High sources that involve little descent were useless by the start of May and by mid-June I was forced to drop considerable distances below even the most reliable springs.
Some folk were unlucky with brief glitches in the weather with rime ice and a couple dumps of snow but even these seemed to evaporate almost instantly.In the Spring edition of The Scottish Mountaineer I discussed the lack of interest modern climbers have in Cuillin routes and suggested that the mantle of "Climbing Mecca" had slipped; rejuvenating opinions and inspiring a new generation is a bit of a personal mission. Multiple parties on the huge Western Buttress of Sron na Ciche and the Vulcan Wall area looking positively busy was very heartening. Equally pleasing was to see and hear reports of parties on the less visited routes & crags. The Great Prow area of Bla Bheinn, North Face of Sgurr Mhic Choinnich and the North face of Sgurr a'Mhadaidh have some absolute classic climbs, often cold and dank, but those who made the effort were well rewarded this year. The south facing cliffs of Coir' a' Ghrunnda take a while longer to reach but were very popular too.
Stairway to Heaven received a couple of ascents (Robin Thomas and Neil Foster) and I even saw the lower holds on Dave Macleod's Cioch E8, The Gathering, chalked up.
There was a fair amount of inevitable new routing from those more familiar with the area. Cuillin officianado Steve Kennedy was again unearthing quality routes, this time on North Crag. Pick of the bunch was Zeus at E3 5c climbed with Cynthia Grindley. Noel Williams and Simon Fraser climbed lines on the Coruisk side of An Dorus and Malcom Airey and I found Techno Snob at E2 5c on a new buttress on Sgurr nan Gobhar. Malcy climbed ground-up so a couple of turfs had to be removed to find gear but the climbing was all on excellent rock and reminded me a lot of The Pillar at Diabaig with a pokey crux right at the top.
Errors were inevitable in such a huge book project and I apologise to anyone adversely affected. The positive side is that I've received more information in the past three months than in all the years preparing the book. Many thanks to everyone who has been in contact and please do keep opinions coming. Every effort will be made to get errors and corrections well documented until the next edition is produced.
Mark Hudson's coastal guide Skye Sea Cliffs & Outcrops has been selling equally well and I've seen plenty of folk checking out the new crags and lines. All in all Skye delivered on its promise as a fantastic playground for climbers and it was very rewarding to see so many embracing the sense of adventure needed to make the most of it.

Lamington Angel Cakes
It is not uncommon for me to decide on something I'd like to bake, only to realise at the last minute I'm missing an ingredient. Sometimes it's a crucial one, other times I google madly to look for substitute ingredients to finish the job. Definitely mastering the art of improvisation around here. I had my heart set on making lamingtons for Australia Day and the proverbial missing ingredient happened to be corn flour. I wasn't too comfortable with any substitutes I found online, so resigned to making a totally different sweet.
Until I remembered an alternative recipe I'd used years ago, from a Women's Weekly Cupcakes pocket book. Sure enough, I had every ingredient required... and it meant using four less eggs than I would have in the official lamington recipe. The result was a delightful cupcake version. These remind me of the old butterfly cakes, which I loved as a child. Whilst mine didn't turn out looking quite as angelic as the name suggests (or as the picture in the book demonstrated), they tasted every bit as ethereal. Sweet, soft, flavoursome little morsels, that certainly did the trick for an Australia Day treat.
Lamington Angel Cakes
90g butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (150g) self-raising flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup (80g) desiccated coconut
1/4 cup (80g) jam (raspberry or strawberry)
1/2 cup (125ml) thickened cream, whipped
Chocolate Icing
10g butter
1/3 cup (80ml) milk
2 cups (320g) icing sugar
1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 180/160 degrees for fan-forced
Line 12 hole muffin pan with paper cases
Combine butter, vanilla extract, sugar, eggs, flour and milk in small bowl
Beat on low speed using electric mixer, until ingredients are just combined
Increase speed to medium; beat until mixture is changed to a paler colour
Divide mixture among cases, smooth surface
Bake about 20 minutes
Turn cakes top-side up onto wire rack to cool
Meanwhile make chocolate icing
Remove cakes from cases
Dip cakes into chocolate icing
Drain of excess; toss cakes in coconut
Stand cakes on wire rack to set
Cut cakes as desired; fill with jam and cream
Chocolate Icing
Melt butter in medium heatproof bowl over saucepan of simmering water
Stir in milk and sifted icing sugar and cocoa until icing is of a coating consistency
Naturally, I also didn't have any cream on hand
either... then I recalled my Philadelphia gift pack, containing
a tub of the new Philadelphia Cream for Desserts... and I was set!

[ Stage Index | North Bay | Metroactive Home | Archives ]
Cinnabar's staging of 'Cabaret' transcends
Cinnabar Theater is gone. That is, the inside of the little red theater on the hill in Petaluma is gone. What has replaced it, rearranging a number of the seats in the process, is the Kit Kat Klub, the notorious Berlin nightspot from Masteroff, Kander and Ebb's 1967 musical, Cabaret.
In the Cinnabar's sharp, sexy, inventive new staging of that classic show, directors Elly Lichenstein and Nancy Prebilich have transformed the theater into a slightly creepy 1939 nightclub, complete with tables adorned with telephones (so visitors can pretend to call other visitors to offer sultry propositions, something the actors occasionally do) and a number of roving Kit Kat Boys, German-accented waiters in fishnets and makeup, wearing existentially bored expressions and skimpy torso-exposing aprons, who wander the club preshow to take drink orders and flirt with the women and men filing in to take their seats.
The play is essentially a love story, set in pre-WW II Berlin as rumblings of danger pop up here and there but are largely ignored by the heads-in-the-sand singers and dancers at the Kit Kat Klub, where "Everything is beautiful!" Actually, it is two love stories. Uptight American novelist Cliff Bradshaw (Chris Koval) has fallen for an unstable English actress, Sally Bowles (the magnificent co-director Nancy Prebilich), the Kit Kat's star. Complicating their relationship is the vaguely criminal Ernst Ludwig (Robert Dornaus), who comes to Cliff for English lessons, but appears to be interested in more.
The other relationship is between Cliff's middle-aged landlady, the moralistic but pragmatic Fraulein Schneider (Joan Hawley) and Herr Schultz (Dwayne Stincelli, marvelous in this role), a lonely Jewish fruit seller whose idea of courtship involves the gifting of pineapples.
As these relationships evolve, we can't escape the pull of the Klub, where the emcee rules the show, escorting us through a parade of human vice and decadence, with such songs as "Money, Money," "Two Ladies" and, of course, the show-starting (and -stopping) "Willkommen." As played by Greg Grabow, the emcee is less overtly sinister than in other productions, but his play-all-sides ambiguity and his aggressive blankness make him genuinely frightening--and very, very funny.
Now, here's my confession: I've never been crazy about Cabaret.
Every stage production I've ever seen has been unable to effectively blend the various elements of the script. Usually, the bittersweet sentimentality of the Herr Schulz/Fraulein Schneider storyline is at odds with the darker stuff emerging from the other love affairs, often seeming as if it was written for an entirely different musical. And, with a number of tiny characters appearing to speak a few lines before disappearing forever, many Cabaret productions seem top-heavy with actors and faces, unable to figure out what to do with everyone.
While I have a few small quibbles with this production, Lichenstein and Prebilich have solved the plot problems by reducing the cast to a manageable and versatile troupe of supporting players (mainly the Kit Kat Boys) who each take on a number of other small roles. For once, the love stories are tonally balanced and work together as two varieties of a similar heartbreak.
As the story moves toward tragedy, as the rise of Nazis can no longer be ignored, the production becomes increasingly surreal, and the final moments are genuinely chilling. By the end, as Bowles takes the spotlight to reprise the titular number ("Life is a cabaret"), it is no longer possible to believe that "everything is beautiful," but in this first-rate Cabaret, it is quite possible to be dazzled just the same.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.29 / 5.00 5,109 Viewsthis took way to long to release. it was a fun animation but because it
took so long i got a lot better before i finished it so i hate it forever, sorry. next shit i release will be 60,000 times better i promise sorta luv u
It was alright, the ending was really the best part. The animation was pretty good too.
giving it 1 star because you did put a little effort into it. My first gripe is the rating, this is by no means an "E" flash. Teen rating at least. Please rate your flash appropriately next time.
Next thing is the animation. it's a bit jerky and not really all that smooth. I suggest putting a bit more time into making the animation fluid next tiime. The artwork is so-so, i've seen much worse but also much better. Your line work is actually quite nice, but need to work on your proportions a bit more. e.g. some of the faces had wierd bumbs and wierd shapes to them.
Lastly, the sound quality. Sound quality could use a little improvement, but it was aight. honestly though, that accent was kind of annoying. sorry :P. Also you didnt really have to voice-over a narrative for everything that was going on. It's not a bad thing, but with better animation you could get away with minimal to no narrative on a piece like this. Look forward to seeing your next piece, especially if its 60,000 times better :P.
Decent art, and I like how the animation is relatively restrained despite the ridiculous subject matter. I thought it was pretty funny too, in a quirky way..." charming", I think is most appropriate.
The kid's (Swedish?) accents pretty much made the video, I don't think the narrative would have kept my attention otherwise.
I suppose my only real complaint is the lack of context, but even then I don't think that was the point of this. Anyway, I think you're onto something. Good job.
The sound quality AND animation is improving, you understand what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong, you're setting goals for yourself and you're still really hilarious. I see nothing I need to add/review- What else is there to say but "keep up the good work"?

Foster carers risk losing up to £700 a year in housing benefit under coalition cuts, which, campaigners claim, will deter families from housing vulnerable children.
Under new rules drawn up by ministers, families in receipt of housing benefit who have properties with spare bedrooms will be penalised – losing the proportion of benefit that applies to the spare rooms. The measure is designed to encourage social housing tenants to downsize, freeing up properties for larger families. However, it means that bedrooms used by foster children will also be deemed surplus and ineligible for financial support. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) insists the change will be fairer since payments made to foster families include a housing element.
The plans will be a further blow to foster family incomes already hit by rising food, fuel and travel costs.
The Fostering Network said that carers living in social housing should not have to subsidise the housing costs of children "out of their own pockets". Its chief executive, Robert Tapsfield, said: "Fostered children need to have their own bedrooms in almost all circumstances, so these proposals will put foster carers in social housing under real financial pressure."
He added: "These plans will also make it even more difficult for families in social housing to become foster carers at a time when we urgently need more people to come forward." It is estimated that an extra 10,000 foster carers are needed in the UK.
Foster family allowances, depending on a child's age and local authority, can range from £125 a week for babies to more than £250 for a 16- to 18-year-old in London. Under the housing benefit changes, a claimant with one "spare room" is expected to receive a 13 per cent cut, with the payment reduced by 23 per cent for two or more spare rooms. Claimants, on average, could lose £676 a year.
The National Housing Federation (NHF) estimates 670,000 people may be affected by the clampdown on under-occupancy. According to official statistics, five million people in England are on the social housing waiting list but almost one million spare bedrooms are paid for by housing benefit.
The NHF chief executive, David Orr, said: "Ministers have failed to think through the potentially disastrous implications of imposing an under-occupation penalty on so many different groups of tenants. Under-occupation in the social housing sector should be tackled. But slashing peoples' housing benefit and pushing them into poverty is not the answer."
Yvonne Crook and her husband, Allan, foster her three grandchildren, and also provide respite care and emergency placements for other children, in their three-bedroom home in St Helens. She condemned the plans: "If the children find out, they will think this is not a home for me, it's not my bedroom. This money that they are planning to take is spent on the children. These children have been neglected and abused in the past, they don't need to be short of anything in their lives now."
The DWP insisted foster carers do an "important job" but their personal allowance "already takes into account housing needs, and any income they earn over and above the benefit they receive is completely disregarded".
The changes are contained in the Welfare Reform Bill, which is expected to complete its passage through the Commons tomorrow. However, many of the benefit changes proposed by Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, remain controversial.
Last week, David Cameron was criticised by Lib Dem MPs over plans to increase the state pension age to 66 by 2020 – six years earlier than previously planned – and to accelerate the rate at which women's pension age is increased to 65 in line with men's. Senior Lib Dems are increasingly uneasy about a plan to cap all benefits at £26,000 per family.

Parent volunteer Heather Newton wanted Gould Elementary School students to feel like they had a part in the November election process.
So Newton, assisted by teachers in grades two-five, held the school's first-ever mock elections at the Garden City school Oct. 31.
After explaining the process and importance of each vote, Newton distributed ballots to youngsters who wanted to vote.
On Nov. 3, the results were displayed as a full-size bulletin board in the school's main hall. The board showed President-elect Barack Obama received the majority of votes.
Newton went a step further, breaking down students' votes into graphs and charts that made the results seem more relevant to the children. Of the total votes cast, 227 went for Obama and 76 for John McCain.

This item from Easterbelle's Emporium is now in the Shop Backroom.
More from Easterbelle's Emporium
ca 1972 Signed Limited Edition Bob Barlow Bronze Wily Wolf Textural Sculpture
This extraordinary vintage bronze sculptor is one in a series of twenty by talented American artist Bob Barlow.
Barlow claims both Montana and Wyoming as his main residences. His works, which include paintings and sculpture, draw a great deal of inspiration from the American West.
This sculpture depicts a fierce and wily wolf in rich, substantial bronze. Departing from realist tradition, the wolf is formed in a hand-hewn, textural style.
There are several maker's marks carved into the base of the work; the first reads "©Robert Barlow". You will also find marks reading "16/20" (the number in the series) and "'72" (for 1972, the date of the piece's production).
As you can see, the bronze figure is affixed to a stepped wooden base.
With only a tiny bit of fading to the wooden base, the figure is in excellent vintage condition. This piece is a picture-perfect example of both Bob Barlow's style as well as a storied tradition of Western-American art.
It has fabulous patina on such an iconic sculptural image.
Measurements: Total height: 3 ¼" tall Base: 5 ½" long, 4 ½" wide, ¾" tall Weight: 1 lb., 8 oz.

Snap Circuits Are So COOL!
This one was really fun until the little flying saucer went up so high, it hit the ceiling, banked off the banister and disappeared somewhere in the living room. Seriously, we have looked
. We even moved the couch and found things we weren't looking for (and didn't really want to find.)

However, in our large secular choir, which is conducted by the organist of Truro Cathedral, Andrew Nethsingha, we have an acute shortage of tenors. Three of them are women! We sometimes are reinforced by visiting choral scholars, who spend a year in Truro, signing in the excellent Cathedral choir, before going on to university.
Equality is all very well, but girl choristers need to know "the facts of life". If you want to sing "with the men" when you are forty, encourage the boys now. An all-female orchestra is possible. An all-female B Minor Mass is not.

Historical Background: Historical Background
In early history, Panglao was known to the Chinese, Malays, Siamese and Indonesian traders. Believed to have been ruled by a king and could have become a bulwark of a flourishing civilization or perhaps a citadel of native genuine counterpart to that of Venice, Athens, and Vietnam. It was said that in 1803, the Spanish explorers came to this island's shore to get the supply of water. Few natives making their fishing devised called 'panggaw' were at the shore. A Spaniard pointing down asked what the name of the place was. The natives who believed that the visitors were asking what they were making answered 'panggaw'. Hence, from that term was derived the name Panglao. Abundance of white, fine as powder sand covers the circular coastline of Panglao. Panglao is proud of its name in the Philippines Tourist Map that indicates fantastic paradise beach resorts and dive spots.

Why the Owner Chose Looc, Panglao, Bohol, Philippines:
A Perfect Choice.
Many tourists are now preferring to rent a holiday home, more romantic if a couple and often more practical if a larger group, this villa offers great flexibility whatever your choice.Situated in a private secluded location near to Panglao Church the villa stands detached in it's own ample grounds along a 20 metre drive from a side road yet withing walking distance to local stores and the church.The property has been thoughtfully designed and tastefully decorated with a wonderful feeling of space and comfort. Vast living area with dining table and soft seating at the other end around a super satellite tv with an incredible library of Dvds and first class air con.

Teensy 3.0 – 32 bit ARM Cortex-M4, usable in Arduino and C by Paul Stoffregen — @ Kickstarter.
Teensy 3.0 is a small, breadboard-friendly development board designed by Paul Stoffregen and PJRC. Teensy 3.0 will bring a low-cost 32 bit ARM Cortex-M4 platform to hobbyists, students and engineers, using Arduino(R)** or programming directly in C language.
Based on a 32 bit ARM chip, Teensy 3.0 aims to greatly increase the computing capability and peripheral features, but maintain the same easy-to-use platform that has made Teensy 2.0 so successful.
Teensy 3.0 has been in development for well over 1 year. Many prototypes have been built. The photo above is the final prototype.
We backed it, nicely done Paul!

Two bits… 1. YAY! 2. I've always loved that you carried Paul's boards even after you came up with your own ATMEGA32U4 breakout. They are different, and I've used both, and love both. It shows you are genuinely committed to the spirit of open source hardware, and I'm ecstatic to be involved in electronics at this point in history. So cool! -
Teensy 3.0 looks cool, high capability per square cm. Is there a forum where this is discussed? Couldn't find mention of it on Paul's site pjrc.com
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

The United Nations Security Council extended an African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia for four months on Wednesday as it mulls lifting an arms embargo and Uganda threatens to pull out troops over claims it is aiding rebels in Democratic Republic of Congo.
The African Union has appealed to the 15-member council to review its arms embargo to help Somalia rebuild its army and consolidate military gains against al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab. UN diplomats said the council was split over this request.
The council extended the AMISOM peacekeeping mission for four months, instead of the usual 12, to allow for a review of operations, including consideration of the arms embargo request and a call to permit the export of stocks of charcoal.
The council imposed the embargo in 1992 to cut the flow of arms to feuding warlords, who a year later ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and plunged Somalia into civil conflict. It banned the sale abroad of Somali charcoal in February this year in an attempt to cut off al Shabaab's funding.
A deadly car bomb exploded on Wednesday near the country's parliament building in the capital Mogadishu, police said. While it was not clear who was responsible, Mogadishu has frequently been targeted by al Shabaab.
"The situation in Somalia is changing rapidly. We have a more legitimate political leadership than ever before," British UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant told the Security Council. "But, as today's deplorable attack on Parliament shows, the situation remains perilous."
He acknowledged the African Union request for the arms embargo to be lifted, but gave no indication of how Britain would respond.
Somalia wants help strengthening its poorly equipped and often ill-disciplined military that is more of a loosely affiliated umbrella group of rival militias than a cohesive fighting force loyal to a single president.
There are 17 600 UN-mandated peacekeepers helping battle the Islamic terrorists in Somalia. Ugandan troops make up more than a third of those peacekeepers, but they have threatened to withdraw in protest over accusations made in a UN report.
Uganda and Rwanda have denied claims in a leaked UN Group of Experts report which said the two neighbours were arming Congo's M23 rebels, whose warlord leader has been indicted by the International Criminal Court.
In the confidential report that was leaked to the media, the experts called for sanctions on those who violated an arms embargo.
Although Uganda has publicly stated its threat to withdraw troops from peacekeeping missions unless the report is changed, UN Security Council diplomats said a Ugandan delegation that came to New York last week did not formally raise it with council members, UN officials, the AU or Somalia.
Council diplomats told reporters that the experts' report would most likely not be amended.
Diplomats have also said that the council was divided on the issue of the charcoal sales. Some countries fear that charcoal merchants in the Somali city of Kismayu – which Kenyan forces under the umbrella of AMISOM took control of last month – might still have connections with al-Shabaab.
In September, Somalia inaugurated President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud – elected in the first vote of its kind since 1991, when Barre was ousted by the warlords, leaving the African nation without an effective central government.
It unveiled a new Cabinet on Sunday, keeping a delicate balance among rival clans.
"We must allow the new government the space to set policies and priorities," Britain's Lyall Grant said. "After two decades of despair, Somalia's people at last have hope and the Security Council must do all that it can to turn hope into reality."

Interleukin (IL)-4-mediated nuclear signaling by Stat6 has been implicated in lymphoid cell proliferation and the transcriptional activation of genes encoding major histocompatability complex (MHC) class II molecules and Fc receptors. To investigate IL-4-mediated transcriptional events, we cloned two naturally occurring human Stat6 isoforms, Stat6b and Stat6c, that encoded an NH2-terminal truncation or an SH2 domain deletion, respectively. Stat6 variant mRNAs were differentially expressed in many human tissues. To elucidate the biologic role of each isoform, we examined the consequences of overexpression in IL-4-responsive FDC-P2 cells. Stat6 and Stat6b (to a lesser extent) enhanced DNA synthesis, up-regulated endogenous MHC class II and Fcγ receptors, and became tyrosine phosphorylated in response to IL-4 stimulation. In contrast, Stat6c, which lacks functionally critical SH2 domain residues, unexpectedly inhibited IL-4-mediated mitogenesis and cell surface antigen expression and was not tyrosine phosphorylated. Although Stat6c only modestly diminished endogenous Stat6 tyrosine phosphorylation, it abolished endogenous Stat6 Fcγ RI and Iε DNA binding activity and Fcγ RI-luciferase reporter transcriptional activation. Our results indicate that the molecular mechanism of inhibition by Stat6c was due to suppression of endogenous Stat6 dimer formation. Thus, Stat6b and Stat6c are naturally occurring attenuated and dominant negative Stat6 variants, respectively, that affect IL-4-mediated biologic responses through differential transcriptional regulation.

Exclusive: NetApp crowns new entry-level storage array king
High-capacity FAS2020 raises bar for manageability, performance
NetApp today is announcing new heirs to the thrones of its entry-level storage arrays, the FAS250 and FAS270. These crown princes, the FAS2020 and the FAS2050, yield more capacity, better performance, and improved manageability -- at a similar or lower price.
[ Network Appliance FAS2020 was selected for an InfoWorld Technology of the Year award. See the slideshow to view all the winners in the storage category. ]
I got an early exclusive look at the FAS2020, which can mount as many as 12 SAS (serial attached SCSI) drives of any capacity in a 2U chassis. Using external modules, the array can expand to a total of 40 drives, including SATA. Those 40 drives bring its total capacity to 24TB, well above what was possible with the older models.
The FAS2020 offers concurrent FC (Fibre Channel) and iSCSI connectivity via single or dual controller. Each controller mounts two 4Gb FC and two Gigabit Ethernet ports, which, together with the unified storage capabilities of the ONTAP OS, makes the 2020 a target for concurrent access via file- and block-oriented protocols
As a point of comparison, the newly unveiled FAS2050 is a step above the 2020, delivering more than 100 drives when fully configured, plus 4GB of cache memory. And these machines, compared to their predecessors, offer not only higher capacity, but better performance with twice the number of FC and Ethernet ports. The new Remote Platform Management feature -- the first of its kind that I've seen to come bundled with storage servers -- is rich icing on the cake.
Hurray for array manageability
My test environment included an IBM E326 server, VMware ESX 3.0.1, plus a FAS2020 mounting 12 SAS drives, each with 144GB capacity and spinning at 15K RPM. No expansion modules. Both the array and the server were connected to a 2Gb FC switch and a GigE switch. Two guest machines running Windows Server 2003 played the role of Active Directory controller and Exchange server for my evaluation
One of my first evaluation steps was to tackle the built-in Remote Platform Management, an interesting new feature that simplifies controlling and monitoring the array's status over IP, exactly as you do with an application server. It also acts a powerful diagnostic tool that is independent from the ONTAP OS. Making it work only requires an IP address. No storage array should be without a similar option.
Starting PuTTY from a command window, I was able to connect and log in to the array controllers, which opened a variety of commands, including power cycling the machine, checking voltage and temperature of its components, and browsing the event log for errors. You can also set up automated e-mail notification when one of the hardware components needs attention.
For high-level management, I had FilerView, accessed by pointing my browser at the IP address of the FAS2020. This old suite of applications opens the door to just about any administrative task, including monitoring the hardware, provisioning storage, setting snapshots, and creating share for file-based access via CIFS or NFS.
FilerView's GUI is the only one you need to touch to manage the array, paradoxically even if you want to use ONTAP's rich set of CLI commands. In fact, one of the numerous items on the FilerView navigation pane opens command prompt capabilities inside the GUI window.
Unfortunately FilerView's complexity, as well as some duplicated entry points, make the suite intimidating and possibly confusing for the novice admin. However each task, when found, is driven by a friendly step-by-step wizard and, if you're still in doubt, the comprehensive online help comes to the rescue.
Creating an iSCSI test LUN (logical unit number) using the FilerView wizard was quick and easy. More intriguing was connecting that LUN to the application server, which in Windows typically involves logging in to the target using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator software, connecting the LUN while there, then jumping to Windows Disk Management to format the volume and assign a letter. NetApp consolidates all those activities under the single GUI of SnapDrive, an agent that you install on each application server and integrates with the MMC (Microsoft Management Console).
Testing limits
Having just one physical server in my test bed was not suitable to run performance benchmarks, but the array easily withstood my attempts to break it, recovering from a simulated drive failure, from losing one of its iSCSI connections, and from having brutally removed one of its controllers.
Microsoft Exchange is one of the likely applications for this class of machines; hence, because I already had SnapManagerfor Exchange installed, I couldn't resist breaking the application's database and trying to recover from a local copy made with SnapManager.
It took some work to get there, first preparing the target volume for the Exchange database and its log file in FilerView, then instructing SnapManager to start asynchronous mirroring on those target volumes. Opening the MMC on the Exchange server I noticed that SnapDrive, although never touched by the previous tasks, had quietly changed the icon of the e-mail server volume to show that they were mirrored.
Time to disconnect the primary database and restart Exchange from the copy, but first, as a double precaution, I made a backup copy of the Exchange database from SnapManager. According to NetApp, this application uses the Microsoft backup API, which should assure consistency of the e-mail content. Another nice feature: To quickly bring all recovery copies to the same level, you can schedule an automatic update of the mirror copy of the Exchange database with the backup file.
With a double copy of the database as my safety net I felt more comfortable disconnecting the Exchange volumes from the server with SnapDrive. Next, still in SnapDrive, I connected the mirror copy of the Exchange volumes to the e-mail server, but first I had to click past a warning from SnapDrive that I was breaking mirrored copies of the volumes. Going back to SnapManager and running a restore brought the two Exchange volume back.
Because of test bed constraints, I wasn't able to push big performance numbers during my evaluation of the FAS2020, which is a pity: With four connectivity ports, fast SAS drives, and 2GB of cache, the array benchmarks could have shown some interesting results.
Regardless, this new entry in NetApp's tray for SMEs has more than just performance; it offers more management tools and application support than any other arrays in its class. Customers should find the package quite attractive -- as long as budget constraints don't get in the way.

Iris JohansenCountdownIris JohansenCountdownPAPERBACK (MASS MERCHANT)
UPC: 9780553586510Release Date: 3/28/2006
LIST PRICE: $7.99 (you save $1.60)
When it reaches zero, you die.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen sets her readers' pulses racing once again in this relentless psychological thriller of a young woman caught in a maze of secrets and stalked by a merciless killer. The countdown begins the moment you open this riveting novel that only grows more electrifying as the pages turn, more exciting as time runs out. . . . "Don't kill her. She's no good to us dead." These words haunt Jane MacGuire after a shocking attack shatters her world in an instant. Was it a random kidnapping attempt–or the countdown to something far more sinister? Who is after her–and what do they want so badly they'll kill anyone in their way? That's what Jane is determined to find out, without the help of the police, the FBI, or her adoptive parents, forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and her husband, Joe Quinn, of the Atlanta PD–because whoever is after her won't hesitate to hurt those she loves the most. Now Jane will go on the run with the only man who may be more dangerous than those who are pursuing her. A smuggler, a con man, and who knew what else, Mark Trevor had his own mysterious reasons for wanting to keep Jane safe and out of the hands of a killer obsessed with a two-thousand-year-old mystery that could rock the modern-day world. Orphaned at an early age, Jane grew up the hard way, but she was given a new life, a loving family, and a chance to pursue her interest in one of the greatest archaeological finds ever unearthed. Now someone was trying to destroy that new life before it could even get started. The past is returning with the kind of vengeance that knows no mercy. The countdown has already begun, and it's approaching zero faster than anyone thinks. From the Hardcover edition. "[A] thrill ride.... Action, romance, castles, bomb plots and a booby-trapped hideaway in snowbound Idaho—what more could Johansen fans want?"—Publishers Weekly |

Truworths Sees First-Half Sales 15% Higher, Warns Credit Weaker
Jaco VisserTruworths International Ltd., South Africa's sixth largest clothing retailer, said sales in the first-half through December rose 15 percent even as more consumers struggle to meet payments on store cards.
Revenue increased to 5.5 billion rand ($617 million) compared with a year earlier while sales at stores open for more than a year rose 10 percent, the local owner of brands such as Uzzi and Daniel Hechter said in a statement. Earnings per share for the period are expected to be 16 percent to 20 percent higher, Truworths said.
"Credit sales contributed 72 percent to retail sales" compared with 73 percent a year earlier, the Cape Town-based company said. "The credit environment has become more challenging with consumer delinquency levels increasing nationally."
Africa's biggest economy probably expanded at the slowest pace since the 2009 recession last year, putting pressure on consumer spending. South African retail sales growth quickened in November, increasing 3.4 percent from a year earlier, having fallen in the two previous months.
Fellow South African retailers Mr Price Group Ltd. and Shoprite Holdings Ltd. put out worse-than-expected trading updates earlier this week, causing a sell-off in retail stocks.
Truworths rose 0.4 percent to 100.10 rand by 2:38 p.m. in Johannesburg, rising for the first time in seven days. About 1.5 million shares changed hands, about the same as the three-month daily average.

The determinants of household energy demand in rural Beijing: Can the environmental-friendly technologies be effective?
With rapid economic growth, total energy demand in rural China has increased dramatically and its structure is in the transition from non-commercial to commercial energy. At the same time, it is also expected that households in rural areas will face energy shortage and causes more environmental problems without having more access to renewable energy technologies. However, little is still known about (i) the transition of the energy use and (ii) whether the technologies introduced have been effective or not. To analyze these issues, we have estimated energy demands of rural households by utilizing a survey data taken from Beijing's ten suburban districts. The data contains the information of both non-commercial and commercial energy use, key characteristics of the households and several renewable energy technologies. Our empirical analysis reveals three main results. First, the per capita income is a key factor to per capita energy consumption. More speci cally, a rise in per capita coal consumption strongly diminishes as per capita income increases. Second, coal and LPG prices do not exhibit any substitution effect, but an increase in these prices has strong negative effects on their own energy use. Third, the renewable energy technologies are identi ed to reduce the coal consumption and induce more energy efficiency. Overall, these ndings suggest a positive perspective: if the Chinese government could appropriately design policies associated with renewable energy technologies and with the related energy price controls, then coal consumption will be induced to decline in the near future and the substitution effects to cleaner energy use will speed up. This implies that the smooth energy transition in rural China can be made in more environmentally sustainable manners.

Cavolfiore Palma a la Leah (Pan-Roasted Cauliflower)
Author Notes: My friends and I stumbled upon the cutest Italian restaurant in the West Village that is truly a hidden gem (which is why I decline to name it here) and it has since been the venue for a number of our families' important dinners, including my wedding rehearsal dinner. They serve this cauliflower dish as an appetizer but it's more of a side dish in my mind. It's definitely my favorite thing on the menu and everything they make is amazing, so this one is quite special. I'm not sure if I'm replicating it exactly, but I come pretty close.
The original recipe features currants, but lacking those at the moment I substituted golden sultana raisins and a little bit of sumac for the slight tartness you'd get from currants but is sadly absent from a raisin. You could probably use dried cranberries (the unsweetened kind if you can find them) or any other slightly sweet, slightly tart dried fruit you like. —pigisyummy
Food52 Review: WHO: pigisyummy is a lifelong New Yorker obsessed with food.
WHAT: A strapping side dish, inspired by a restaurant appetizer.
HOW: Just floret, sauté, and make a magical bread crumb situation. Combine everything together as one, and eat.
WHY WE LOVE IT: This side is the best treatment of cauliflower we've had in a while: it lets the produce shine, thrums with careful, gentle seasoning, and isn't shy with the breadcrumbs and pine nuts. (Because, really, why should you be?) This will be on our tables for a long time coming. —The Editors
Serves 4 to 6
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sumac (optional and don't use if using currants)
- 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 handful parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a few pinches
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup golden sultana raisins (dried cranberries or regular raisins), chopped (or currants not chopped)
- Freshly grated pecorino (optional)
- Cut the florets off the stems and and then chop them into tiny florets. You can also chop up the stems into tiny pieces if you want. You should have about 6 cups of chopped cauliflower.
- In a large sauté pan, toast the pine nuts over medium low heat. Once toasted and fragrant, remove them from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, then add the cauliflower, 1 teaspoon of salt, rosemary, and sumac. Sauté until cauliflower is tender and starts to brown a bit, stirring as necessary. You can also add a bit of olive oil if the pan starts to get too dry or the cauliflower is starting to stick.
- While cauliflower is cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Once oil is shimmering, toss in the breadcrumbs and stir, toasting the breadcrumbs. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Remove from the heat and toss in half of the chopped parsley.
- When cauliflower is done, remove from the heat and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch or so of salt if necessary. Toss in the toasted pine nuts, the chopped raisins, and the remaining parsley.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle the top with the toasted breadcrumbs and some pecorino.

What fast food restaurant did she drive to, and was she still topless at the fast food restaurant?
Methinks they should have sent a cameraman out to cover this vitally important story!
Bad boobs, Bad boobs,Whatcha gonna do, Whatcha gonna do when they come for you.
Where is teh Sun foreign correspondent when you want him?
Patriotic holiday wear made the top 10. Do they mean holiday (vacation) wear that's patriotic, or clothing for patriotic holidays?
And how do they know that it's not just some tourist getting wearable souvenirs?
Not only was she intoxicated but her name is Brandi?
It's all her parents' fault!
I didn't notice, dear.
If they're topless, who cares if they're stingy titters ? ( Wait... what did I say ? )
Approximately 467000% of men are turned on by women who are turned on by women who are topless....
As Dean Wormer might say: "Topless and intoxicated is no way to go through life!"
To which I would respond: "What? I was distracted..."
Poor blog guys. No pictures. Excellent journalism.
Bunch of Boobs.
That's just silly. Of course, tit wouldn't distract us.
Once you've seen one woman naked, you wanna see all of 'em naked.
I feel very focused on such occasions.
*SMACKS to all the blog boys* Pay attention!
This is news?
We constantly complain whenever a story like this fails to include photographic evidence. And yet, if there's one thing in incredible abundance on the internet, it's pictures of boobs. Just do the Google search, guys! The extra couple of clicks are worth it. Um, at least that's what I hear.
The bagging of sun loungers round the pool is the thing that browns off Britons the most on holiday, it has been revealed.
Am I the only one who got a headache trying to read that sentence? When the hell are those people going to start speaking English?
What? No jug mug shot?
Scott, if you keep clicking like that your finger is going to fall off.
I hear ya, Cindy. Duly noted. My whole point was just that, if it's photos of topless women you want, Dave's blog is probably not your best (or only) source. Again, that's what I hear...
