Subscribe To Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Somehow Play The Terminator In Terminator 5 Updates
I've already subscribed
The whole point of Terminators, and the entire reason Arnold Schwarenegger was cast as the terrifying cyborg to begin with, is that they are superior to humans. Superior strength, superior looks, superior lack of empathy-- they are built to pull off all the things that humans can't. So what happens when a Terminator comes off the factory line and he's got… wrinkles? And jowls? Has something gone horribly wrong on the Skynet assembly line?
Nope-- it's just an actor clinging on tight to his glory days. We learned back in January that Schwarzenegger planned to return for the lurching-toward-development Terminator 5, which got a step closer to reality last week when Paramount appeared ready to distribute it. Now the eagle-eyed fans at The Arnold Fans have learned-- via a speech Schwarzenegger made at the 21st Century Financial Education Summit in Australia (??)-- that Arnold does indeed plan to return, and in the very same role that made him famous:
"I'm very happy that the studios want me to be in Terminator 5 and to star AS the Terminator, which we start shooting in January."
We wonder if that January start date will make it possible for Fast Five's Justin Lin to direct it, as he'd hoped to do in 2011 before deciding to make Fast & Furious 6. But honestly, the bigger question is just how in the hell Arnold will be playing the Terminator-- ostensibly rolled off an assembly line to look exactly like he did in 1984-- without accounting for the fact that he's aged. We're not ragging on Arnold for getting older-- time comes for all of us, even Mister Universe. When word broke earlier that he planned to be in Terminator 5 it seemed only right, maybe bringing him in as the person who the Terminator design was based off, having gotten a bit older since Skynet rolled out the first edition. And especially with talent like Shutter Island's Laeta Kalogridis and Drive Angry's Patrick Lussier writing the script, they can come up with some workaround to have the Terminator with a few extra wrinkles on his face.
But… when you're rolling out the fifth installment in a franchise, nearly 30 years after the original debuted, you're already essentially tempting fate. Trying to have a 65-year-old plan the same character he did when he was in his 30s-- a character who is not supposed to age!-- isn't going to make the thing seem any more timely.

First, just a reminder that this Sunday, August 29, 2010, is our monthly exercise in folly, Savoy Cocktail Book Night at Alembic Bar. If any of the cocktails on this blog have captured your fancy, stop by after 6 and allow the skilled bartenders (and me) to make them for you. It is always a fun time.
Thunder and Lightning Cocktail
The Yolk of 1 Egg. (1 Egg Yolk)
1 Teaspoonful Powdered Sugar. (1 teaspoon Caster Sugar)
1 Glass Brandy. (2 oz Chateau Pellehaut Armagnac)
Shake well and strain into medium size glass. Dash of Cayenne Pepper on top.
Well, aside from the use of Gum Syrup instead of powdered sugar in the Thunder and the instruction to put the Cayenne Pepper on top of this one, there's really no difference between the Thunder and Thunder and Lightning Cocktails.
The use of a Medium size glass for a Savoy recipe, however, usually means that the cocktail has a dash of selzer on top. So I added one. Kind of lightened things up a bit, so there you go! If you really wanted to add some zip to this, you might add some Champagne. You'll be seeing stars!
In light of the recent Salmonella in eggs news, I suppose I should say something about eggs in cocktails.
Some people maintain that Salmonella only comes from contamination on the outside of the egg. This is not true, if the egg laying chickens are sufficiently infected, the whole egg will contain Salmonella bacteria.
Other people maintain there is some "disinfecting" property in alcohol that kills the bad bacteria in eggs. While high proof alcohol is an effective topical disinfectant, the odds of contaminated egg material being exposed to high enough proof alcohol for sufficient time to kill all bacteria in a contaminated egg are slim, as far as I can tell.
I buy my eggs from a chicken farmer at the Alemany Farmers' Market. Organic, Free Range, Cage Free, Pot Smoking, Happy, Hoppy, Hippy Chickens. Blah, blah, blah, do I live in California or what?
I guess I would say, if the thought of a minor bout with Salmonella puts you off, unless you know where your eggs come from, it's best to go with Pasteurized in the shell eggs for cocktails.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Beyond borders
Virginia is gaining a reputation as a major player in rapidly changing international markets
- September 28, 2010
- |
Americans have an insatiable appetite for good deals, no matter where the shirts and shoes they buy are made. That's one reason the U.S. had a $226 billion trade deficit with China last year.
But Lonnie Lemco and Scott Elles, co-owners of Richmond-based World Art Group, are making a dent in that deficit. They sell American-made decorative artwork — hand-colored reproductions of antique engravings and watercolors — to China's burgeoning middle class. "The Chinese people really love traditional Western art, and they're buying it to decorate their homes," Lemco says.
China has become the company's primary international sales destination since World Art Group developed an export strategy in 2003. Now exports are making a huge difference in the company's bottom line. At a time when many businesses are cutting jobs, it has 26 employees and is hiring. More than 20 percent of the World Art Group's revenue is the result of international sales through furniture stores and other retailers in China, Brazil, India, Canada and Australia.
Lemco says those sales have allowed the company to thrive instead of becoming another casualty of the economic downturn. "We would have definitely been in trouble if we hadn't developed our export business."
The company's domestic sales have been tied to the U.S. housing industry, which has been in a slump since 2007. "It's been a very difficult period for us over the last three years domestically," Lemco says. "Our international business, on the other hand, has been growing at a 30 to 40 percent clip every year."
A new economic order
World Art Group may seem like just another feel-good survival story in a tough economy, but it is, in fact, one small indicator of a new economic world order. Van R. Wood, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who holds its Philip Morris chair of international business, has dubbed this new arrangement "Globalization 2.0."
The first phase of globalization occurred, he says, when developing countries began making a huge volume of inexpensive goods for American companies selling primarily to consumers in the U.S. and Western Europe.
Globalization 2.0, Wood explains, acknowledges that demand now is growing among a swelling number of middle-class consumers in emerging economies like China, Brazil, India, and Russia. At the same time, many companies in these countries have matured to the point that they are major players in the global economy.
U.S. companies that recognize this changing economic model are finding new markets for their goods and working with foreign companies as equal partners rather than subcontractors.
"The game now is not about China versus the U.S. or China versus India or India versus Europe," Wood says. "It's about great organizations that build a value chain that stretches around the world, connecting the best and brightest people to produce the highest quality products and services that are in demand and fill human needs at the lowest possible price."
Although Virginia is the 12th largest state in population in the U.S., it ranks 21st in exports. Nonetheless, Wood says the state is well positioned to take advantage of the changing reality of global trade. The commonwealth, he says, is quickly gaining a reputation as a major player in all three areas of international trade: exports, imports and foreign investment.
"Virginia has been on a roll the last three or four years," he says. "It really does have all the things it needs, and it is doing all the right things it needs to succeed at international trade."
State and national leaders increasingly tout international trade as an important tool in reviving the U.S. economy. In his State of Union speech in January, President Obama set a goal of doubling U.S. exports in the next five years. In August, he signed into law the Manufacturing Enhancement Act, a bipartisan bill that will lower tariffs on raw materials so that U.S. manufactured goods will be more competitive overseas. This month, the state-sponsored Virginia Conference on World Trade in Richmond will offer tips on how manufacturers and service companies can increase their international sales.
In competing on the world stage, Virginia offers a wealth of trade assets: a major deepwater port (the Port of Virginia); a major international airport (Washington Dulles); an extensive transportation infrastructure of rail, highway and inland ports; easy access to Washington, D.C., and a well-educated and skilled work force.
Virginia also has a network of state and local economic development organizations that are recruiting foreign companies to the state while also helping local businesses identify products and services in global demand.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) has representatives in Japan, Mexico and Hong Kong. The agency expects to have additional personnel in place in China, India and the United Kingdom by July 2011. Trade and investment consultants are on call in 44 other countries. (In addition, the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority has offices in India, Germany, South Korea and Israel.)
"We have a great message to tell about Virginia, and our companies have high-quality, innovative products and services to offer," says Paul Grossman, VEDP's director of international development. "The key, though, is you've got to tell that message, and you've got to do what you can to get those products into those emerging markets that are willing to buy them."
More overseas sales
During the past five years, Virginia businesses have increased the export of all goods and services by 56 percent, according to the VEDP. That momentum, however, was slowed by the recession. Sales of Virginia-produced commodities (the key measurement tracked by the U.S. Department of Commerce) dropped from $18.9 billion in 2008 to $15.1 billion in 2009. These products include electronic circuit boards, bituminous coal, tobacco and soybeans.
But international exports now appear to be on the rebound, according to Theodora Noll, client services manager at VEDP. In the first six months of 2010, commodity sales to foreign markets were up by 15 percent over a comparable period in 2009.
Noll attributes this recovery in part to the weak performance of the dollar, which makes American-made products more affordable to overseas buyers. Also, exports increased because a growing number of Virginia companies have turned to overseas markets to diversify their customer base.
"We have noticed that many companies, with the domestic market being what it is in this economic downturn, have really had to turn to international markets, because in many instances they may have lost domestic market share," Noll says.
"By going international, they've been able to continue with production and minimize the impact of that domestic decline in their revenue," she adds. "In many instances, their international sales have kept them afloat, preventing furloughs or layoffs or having to shut down parts of their operations."
In fact, some Virginia companies such as Bode Technology Group have thrived in the international market. Lorton-based Bode offers a unique DNA identification service, as well as DNA testing kits and training. The company began working on an export strategy in 2002. It took nearly a year to get its first international contract, says Ed Huffine, Bode's vice president of humanitarian services and international development. Seven years later, international sales now account for 25 percent of the company's total revenues. It has contracts or proposals in more than 70 countries, and this year has increased its staff from 100 to 130 employees.
Huffine says international deals also have helped the company gain new U.S. customers, especially state and local governments. "They saw our successes overseas as validation of our ability to work in difficult environments, and so the international business resonates domestically and vice versa," he explains.
(Bode's success also attracted a suitor. Its parent company, GlobalOptions Group Inc., is selling it to New York-based LSR Acquisition Group in a deal worth up to $30.5 million.)
International sales success also came quickly to Virginia Beach-based VSD LLC, which provides software engineering, consulting and analysis services. The company began exporting in 2008, and international sales now make up 50 percent of its revenues. VSD doubled its work force in the past year, jumping from 50 to 100 employees, says Fred Stewart, director of international business development. The company currently has projects in the Middle East.
"Our goal is to increase our revenue and increase the size of our company while continuing to do great work," Stewart says. "Our international work has enabled us to meet that goal and, based on how things have gone so far, we anticipate that will continue to be the case in the future."
But some Virginia companies entering the international market have faced daunting problems. Mary and Paul Schellhammer, owners of Spice Rack Chocolates in Fredericksburg, were thrilled when, with the help of VEDP, their first foray into international sales landed their products on the shelves of Harrod's and other high-end stores in London. Then their distributor dropped them. "I had chosen him because it was a fit logistically, but he didn't have any other products like mine, and he had never dealt with the stores I was targeting, so it just wasn't a fit," says Mary Schellhammer, the company president.
After significant investments of money and time, Schellhammer is back at square one, but she hasn't given up. She has turned once again to VEDP, which is now helping her negotiate with a new distributor. "It's not a lost cause because I did learn at least that there's a market out there that is interested in my product," she states. "Logistically, it sounds easy on paper, but it does take a lot of perseverance."
Foreign interest running high
While an increasing number of Virginia companies are dipping their toes in international markets, the commonwealth also has been successful in getting foreign companies to come here. More than 700 foreign-owned businesses from 45 countries have offices or facilities in Virginia. During the past six fiscal years, 49 percent of all capital investment made by companies new to Virginia has come from international sources, says Grossman.
In 2002, China Telecom Americas, a subsidiary of Beijing-based China Telecom Corp. Ltd., established an office in Herndon to provide telecommunications services to multinational organizations in North and South America. Tata Communications, a subsidiary of India-based Tata Group, recently selected Arlington for its North American headquarters.
Virginia has been particularly aggressive in recruiting cash-flush companies based in Asia, says James V. Meath. He is a partner and vice chair of the board of directors at Williams Mullen, a Richmond-based law firm that has been assisting the state on international trade. Meath recently traveled to Hong Kong and Shanghai with Jim Cheng, Virginia's secretary of commerce and trade, who is a native of Taiwan.
"Apparently there have been a lot of people from the U.S. that have gone over there and tried to court the Chinese and then they just don't come back and follow through," he explains. "But it's important to them and to their culture that you make a lasting investment and commitment. That's what Virginia has been doing, and it's paying off."
Relationships, in fact, were a major factor in Mercury Paper's decision this spring to locate a 400,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Strasburg. The company is a subsidiary of Shanghai-based Sinar Mas Group, which makes paper towels and tissue products.
Mercury Paper CEO Philip Rundle says it was wooed by several other states, including Georgia and North Carolina, but company officials were impressed by the attention they got from state and local economic development officials in Virginia.
"I would say that they outplayed in this chess game all the other states," says Rundle. "They took the time to understand what we needed, they put incentives on the table that were very, very attractive, they helped us with site selection, and they helped us with job fairs. They made it clear that they really wanted us to locate there, and they partnered with us in whatever way was necessary to make that happen."
Mercury Paper already has hired 186 employees and is adding another 200,000 square feet of warehouse space. The company's next East Coast investment likely will also be in Virginia, possibly in the Hampton Roads region, according to Rundle.
Import traffic set to rise
The VEDP works hard to increase foreign investment and exports but it doesn't focus on boosting imports, says Grossman. "The American consumer takes care of that," he states.
But that doesn't mean that imports aren't beneficial to Virginia. Imports through the Port of Virginia, for example, have sparked the development of more than 240 distribution centers throughout the state, which employ thousands of workers. The presence of the port also has been crucial in decisions of many companies in locating in the state.
In 2009, the VPA handled about 10,000 metric tons of imports worth nearly $26 billion and 35,000 metric tons of exports, worth $19.2 billion.
The total value of imports and exports last year, $45 billion, was down 12 percent from $51 billion in 2008. VPA spokesman Joe Harris, however, expects port traffic to climb significantly after expansion of the Panama Canal is completed in 2014 to accommodate a new generation of supersize container ships. These ships will carry more than double the amount of cargo carried on today's vessels.
The only East Coast port that will be able to handle the new ships fully loaded is the Port of Virginia, Harris says. "It's not a possibility, it's a reality," he says. "We are in a very advantageous position in that we don't have to do anything to get ready."
He explains that VPA has the deepest water on the East Coast, the necessary cargo handling capacity and infrastructure and on-dock rail access service by Norfolk Southern and CSX, the two largest rail carriers in the East. And there are no bridge obstructions.
"They could show up tomorrow and we could go to work on them," Harris says.
Right market, right product
In assessing prospects for international trade, Lonnie Lemco of World Art Group says Virginia companies must realize that there is not a single global market, but hundreds of foreign economies with distinctive characteristics.
"For our business, China is clearly booming, and I'm doing very well in Brazil because it's a growing economy, but I can't give away a print in Ireland or in Spain," which are in recession, he says. "It's really a matter of finding the right outlet, the right channel and the right product."

Families can stroll through two aviaries at the Shell Factory, which houses iguanas, too.
Last year the McShell and Company Mining Rig was added, which the Cronins said is known to inspire parents to grab a bag and dig for goodies of their own. The Mining Rig teaches how to to pan for gemstones, shells or fossils using an authentic hand sluice technique.
Another learning exhibit at the Johnson, Jones & Masters Natural History Museum has hundreds of donated animals from five continents displayed for children to see what certain animals looked and acted like.
Another stop is the new Coin and Money Museum - a learning experience for those interested in the wide array of currency ranging from the Roman Empire to bills from each of the original 13 American colonies, Confederate bills and specially minted World War II notes and coins recovered from a sunken Spanish brig of war. The Shell Factory offers authentic specimens for purchase so individuals can begin their own collection.
Fact Box
The Shell Factory history
The Shell Factory and Nature Park traces its origins to when Harold and Mildred Crant began selling shells in Bonita Springs in 1937. The Shell Factory moved to its North Fort Myers location in 1951. In 1983, Interstate 75's opening left U.S. 41 with much less traffic, which dealt the Shell Factory a devastating blow. Thomas R. Cronin purchased the property in 1997 with his then-fiancee, Pam, and began a huge reconstruction of the property.
The Shell Factory & Nature Park
Location: 2787 North Tamiami Trail, North Fort Myers
Contact : (239) 995-2141 or (800) 282-5805 or
Hours: Shell Factory and Fun Park, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., daily; Nature Park, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily; Capt'N Fishbones, 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; The Swamp Bar, noon-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday; and Dogbones Cafe, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday.
The newest exhibit is the Pirate's Grotto Exhibit, which also has a retail store nearby with pirate memorabilia.
Other eye-catching outside the Shell Factory include the EcoLab, with its bugs, snakes, bunnies, lizards, ducks, geese and chickens. Children can ask staff questions if they have any.
The new Touch and Feel exhibit allows children to pet sea stars, leopard geckos and hermit crabs.
The nearby Dinosaur Park showcases 12 life-sized replicas in a jungle setting. Families can also enjoy strolling through two aviaries with peacocks, giant turtles, iguanas and colorful lorikeets.
As you leave the park you will stroll inside the enormous retail store that includes a year-round Christmas shop. The Shell Factory staff specializes in items not found anywhere else in Southwest Florida.
This park recently began a 501(c)3 organization for Lee County schools to help teachers financially so they can continue to take field trips with their students. Shell Factory holds events to raise money for the costs of busing the children to the park for an outing out of the classroom.

What Is Included in the HPC Services for Excel
Applies To: Windows HPC Server 2008 R2
HPC Services for Excel include service-oriented architecture (SOA) clients and services that enable developers to quickly convert workbooks to run on a cluster. The cluster-side features are available with the Enterprise Edition of HPC Pack 2008 R2. The client-side and developer features are available in the HPC Pack 2008 R2 client utilities and the HPC Pack software development kit (SDK).
The features in HPC Services for Excel support offloading user-defined functions (UDFs) or entire workbooks to a cluster. The following table describes the offloading scenarios, and the client and cluster features that support them.
|Offloading scenario
|Client feature
|Cluster feature
UDF offloading
Excel Cluster Connector: An add-in to Microsoft Excel 2010 that supports UDF offloading to a Windows HPC 2008 R2 cluster. The connector starts a session on the cluster and instantiates an SOA client for the container services on the cluster. The Excel user can specify the cluster name and other optional job submission parameters.
XLL container services: Load and run cluster-safe UDFs from XLL files that are deployed to the cluster.
UDF Service Loading Test: Verifies that the container services can be loaded, and optionally verifies that a specified XLL file can be hosted.
Workbook offloading
Excel Client: A built-in SOA client that supports workbook offloading to a Windows HPC 2008 R2 cluster. Developers can include VBA code in the Excel workbook to specify the cluster name and other optional job submission parameters, and then pass calculations to the cluster through Excel Client.
Excel Service: Loads and runs Excel 2010 workbooks that are deployed to the cluster.
Excel Workbook Configuration Test: Verifies that Excel 2010 is installed and activated on the specified nodes, that the Excel Service can be loaded, and that Excel Service can launch Excel.
On the cluster
The cluster-side features of HPC Services for Excel include the services and two diagnostics tests to verify service functionality.
When you install the Enterprise Edition of HPC Pack 2008 R2 on your cluster, the configuration files for the HPC Excel Services are centrally deployed to the head node. You can manage centrally deployed service configuration files from the Services pane in HPC Cluster Manager. The DLLs for the HPC Excel Services are installed on the compute nodes and workstation nodes.
The following list describes the services:
XLL container services (32 and 64-bit): Load and run cluster-safe UDFs from 32 or 64-bit XLL files that are deployed to the cluster. The UDFs that run on the cluster do not run in Excel 2010. The container services provide a minimum run environment that allows the UDFs to run on cluster nodes. UDFs running in a Windows HPC cluster do not support the Excel application programming interface (API), and do not support all Excel calls.
Excel Service: Loads and runs Excel 2010 workbooks that are deployed to the cluster. Excel Service starts Microsoft Excel 2010 on a cluster node, loads the workbook, invokes the specified macro using supplied inputs, and returns the macro result to the client. Using the Excel object model, the service can read from and write to the workbook, and it can trigger calculation of the workbook. If the workbook uses a VBA method to run a calculation, Excel Service can call the VBA method with input data and return the result to the client when the calculation is complete.
The following screenshot shows HPC Excel services in the Services view in HPC Cluster Manager:
HPC Services for Excel include two diagnostic tests: the UDF Service Loading Test and the Excel Workbook Configuration Test. These tests verify that UDF and workbook services can be loaded, initialized, and started on the specified nodes. The workbook test also verifies that Excel 2010 is installed and activated. Optionally, the UDF test can also verify that a specified XLL file and its detected dependencies are present.
The following screenshot illustrates the dialog box for running the Excel diagnostic tests in HPC Cluster Manager. In the screenshot, the Configure Test Parameters tab is selected, and an XLL file named myXLL has been specified as a parameter for the UDF Service Loading Test:

On the client
The client-side features of HPC Services for Excel include features that support UDF and workbook offloading to the cluster. These features are included in the HPC Pack 2008 R2 client utilities.
UDF offloading
The Excel Cluster Connector for Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2 is an add-in to Microsoft Excel 2010 that supports UDF offloading to a Windows HPC 2008 R2 cluster. The connector leverages new capabilities for UDF execution that are provided in Excel 2010. The cluster connector submits the job to the cluster with the Excel user's credentials and starts a session with a broker node. The job includes a Service tasks that invokes the XLL container service on the cluster, sends calculation requests, and receives results back from the cluster.
In Excel 2010, users can enable UDFs to run on a cluster. After a user installs the HPC Pack client utilities, the 32-bit or the 64-bit connector becomes available in a drop-down list (in the Advanced tab in the Excel Options dialog box). The user can specify the head node name and the job template in the Excel Cluster Connector dialog box. The following screenshot illustrates the Excel Cluster Connector dialog box:
The cluster connector also provides a message box that communicates the progress of the cluster calculation. The following screenshot shows the progress message box. In the screenshot, the title bar displays the name of the cluster that is performing the calculations, in this case myHeadNode. The message and the progress bar indicate the number of messages that are being sent and received.
For more information, see Using the Excel Cluster Connector to Offload UDFs.
Workbook offloading
The Excel Client is a built-in SOA client that supports workbook offloading to a Windows HPC 2008 R2 cluster. To enable a workbook to run in parallel on a cluster, an Excel developer can use the HPC macro framework to define how to partition independent calculations in a workbook and then merge the results. The macro framework integrates with the built-in Excel Client. The Excel Client invokes the Excel Service on the cluster and specifies which workbook to calculate and what parameters or options to use, and the Excel Client receives results when the calculation is complete. Developers include code in the Excel workbook to submit a job to the cluster, start a session with a broker node, and create an instance of Excel Client.
The HPC Pack client utilities include the HPC DLLs that are required to convert a workbook to use the macro framework. The HPC SDK includes a module that provides the outline of the macro framework code and a module that includes the outline of the code that starts a session on the cluster and creates an instance of the client. Many resources and samples are available to help developers create cluster-enabled workbooks.
How the Excel user specifies the cluster name, the workbook location, and any additional job submission specifications depends on how the developer implements the interface. The following screenshot shows an example from the HPC SDK samples. In this implementation, the developer adds and HPC ribbon to Excel that allows users to specify cluster information and includes options to run the calculations locally or on the cluster:

Angela Davis (born January 26, 1944) is an American political activist, scholar, and author. Davis was most politically active during the late 1960s through the 1970s and was associated with the Communist Party USA, the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Panther Party. Prisoner rights have been among her continuing interests; she is the founder of "Critical Resistance", an organization working to abolish the prison-industrial complex. She is presently a retired professor with the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz and is the former director of the university's Feminist Studies department. Her research interests are in feminism, African American studies, critical theory, Marxism, popular music and social consciousness, and the philosophy and history of punishment and prisons.
Her membership in the Communist Party led to Ronald Reagan's request in 1969 to have her barred from teaching at any university in the State of California. She was tried and acquitted of suspected involvement in the Soledad brothers' August 1970 abduction and murder of Judge Harold Haley in Marin County, California.
She was twice a candidate for Vice President on the Communist Party USA ticket during the 1980s.

Twin Coast Cycle Trail
The Twin Coast Cycle Trail is one of the 23 Great Rides under Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail.
Status: Sections Open
Grade: Easy (2) - Intermediate (3)
Duration: 2 days
Total Length: 84km
The Twin Coast Cycle Trail - Pou Herenga Tai will pass through some of New Zealand's earliest European and Maori settlements and the Far North District, which gave birth to the Treaty of Waitangi.
The trail's construction has been divided into four stages. The first section to be completed will be 14km of the old rail corridor between Kaikohe and Okaihau. In subsequent stages the trail will then run for 34km from Kaikohe to Kawakawa, 25km from Okaihau to Horeke and a further 11km from Kawakawa to Opua. The route will include some gentle climbs with wide paths which will allow cyclists to travel side-by-side for most of the journey.
The Far North features many areas of outstanding natural beauty within a unique coastal environment. It can boast of up to 2000 hours of sunshine each year and some of the best weather in New Zealand. The trail will cross rural farm country and pass through a number of small towns with sections of the trail following ancient Maori walking tracks. At its highest points the trail offers panoramic views to the east and west coasts, and offers many sites of historical and cultural significance.
A unique feature of this trail will be a series of Pou, carved by iwi, which will be erected along the trail route to recall the history and stories of both iwi and Pakeha settlements in and around the area.
Highlights include:
- Opua, the gateway to the Bay of Islands and the maritime centre for the Far North;
- Kawakawa, home to the renowned Hundertwasser public toilets and famous for its Bay of Islands Vintage Railway which runs down the centre of the main street;
- Kaikohe, which features sites of early Maori-European contact and conflict, and Heritage Kaikohe with its museum of early settlement and transport plus an extraordinary begonia display;
- Ngawha Hot Pools (6km east of Kaikohe)
- Lake Omapere, the Far North's largest natural lake;
- Okaihau, a hub of early agricultural settlement and development
- The rail tunnel at Okaihau –an integral part of the trail route
- Horeke and the tranquillity and beauty of the upper reaches of the Hokianga Harbour;
- Opportunities for Marae visits and stays.
Best time to ride
The trail will be open throughout the year. The majority of the trail follows a former railway corridor, making any gradients easy to manage.
Getting there
The trail can start at Opua on the East Coast or Horeke on the West Coast as well as being accessed from a number of towns along the trail including Kawakawa, Moerewa, Kaikohe and Okaihau.
Trail partners
The trail is a joint initiative of the Far North District Council, Ministry for Social Developmentand The New Zealand Cycle Trail project.

Wonka Ice Cream Review
Taste Test: Wonka's Whimsical Ice Cream Flavors
Taste Test: Wonka's Whimsical Ice Cream Flavors
Browsing down the ice cream aisle, you can't help but notice Wonka's new ice cream flavors. First off, they're upside down to resemble Willy Wonka's notorious top hat. Secondly, the bright, swirly design is ultra psychedelic and lures you closer to the freezer door. With silly flavor names like Kernelpuff Caramelstuff and Kerfuffle Truffle, the mixes are equal parts exotic and whimsical, which is to be expected from Nestlé's Wonka brand. We taste tested all seven flavors, but only a few are truly scrumdiddlyumptious. Find out the flavors that are worth purchasing and which ones need to return to the Wonka factory for further testing.

Heat-related deaths and illness are preventable, yet annually many people succumb to extreme heat. As we head into the dog days of summer, click on for tips for staying cool -- and safe -- when the mercury rises. [ + - ]
The CDC offers the following prevention tips for staying cool and safe when the mercury rises. [ + - ]
Drink plenty of fluids: During hot weather you will need to increase your fluid intake, regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. During heavy exercise in a hot environment, drink two to four glasses (16-32 ounces) of cool fluids each hour. [ + - ]
Avoid alcoholic and sugary drinks: Don't drink liquids that contain alcohol, or large amounts of sugar -- these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps. [ + - ]
Replace salts and minerals: Heavy sweating removes salt and minerals from the body. These are necessary for your body and must be replaced. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. However, if you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage or taking salt tablets. [ + - ]
Wear appropriate clothing: Wear as little clothing as possible when you are at home. Choose lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. If you must go outdoors, protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat (also keeps you cooler) along with sunglasses. [ + - ]
Don't forget the sunscreen: Avoid sunburn and keep your skin safe by putting on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" on their labels) 30 minutes prior to going out. Continue to re-apply it according to the package directions. [ + - ]
Schedule outdoor activities carefully: If you must be outdoors, try to limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Try to rest often in shady areas so that your body's thermostat will have a chance to recover. [ + - ]
Stay cool indoors: Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library -- even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. [ + - ]
Use a buddy system: When working in the heat, monitor the condition of your co-workers and have someone do the same for you. Heat-induced illness can cause a person to become confused or lose consciousness. [ + - ]
Monitor those at high risk: Although anyone at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Those groups include infants and young children, people 65 years of age or older, and people who are overweight. Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. [ + - ]
Adjust to the environment: Be aware that any sudden change in temperature, such as an early summer heat wave, will be stressful to your body. You will have a greater tolerance for heat if you limit your physical activity until you become accustomed to the heat. If you travel to a hotter climate, allow several days to become acclimated before attempting any vigorous exercise, and work up to it gradually. [ + - ]
Do not leave children in cars: Even in cool temperatures, cars can heat up to dangerous temperatures very quickly. Even with the windows cracked open, interior temperatures can rise almost 20 degrees within the first 10 minutes. Anyone left inside is at risk for serious heat-related illnesses or even death. Children who are left unattended in parked cars are at greatest risk for heat stroke, and possibly death. [ + - ]
Use common sense: Avoid hot foods and heavy meals -- they add heat to your body. Dress infants and children in cool, loose clothing and shade their heads and faces with hats or an umbrella. Provide plenty of fresh water for your pets, and leave the water in a shady area. [ + - ]
Watch out for heat-related illnesses: Doing too much on a hot day, spending too much time in the sun or staying too long in an overheated place can cause heat-related illnesses. Know the symptoms of heat disorders and overexposure to the sun, and be ready to give first aid treatment. [ + - ]
Be conscious of heat at night as well as during the day: Unusually high humidity can actually make nighttime temperatures more dangerous than daytime highs because our bodies don't have time to recover. It's possible for a person to lose up to two liters of fluids overnight through sweating if the temperature remains above 85 degrees. [ + - ]
Get informed: Listen to local news and weather channels or contact your local public health department during extreme heat conditions for health and safety updates [ + - ]

The number of attacks against the Webhoneypot depends strongly on his PHP parser. So keeping the pattern matching mechanism up to date was one of the major future works. One of my goals for the Google Summer of Code time is to improve the parser and to reduce upcoming changes in attack patterns. The old parser was very simple: collect all lines containing echo calls, look for known patterns and generate the appropriate response.
Here a simple example:
The injected file:
The parser:
Looks very simple? But what about Uname, Kernel, UNAME or even zname (Noticed the typo? Remember, they are just kids ;) )? So another goal is to leave pattern matching behind and invest some time and sweat into a cleverer parser.
Things are getting even more complicated when echo calls occurring in functions. A simple example:
The new parser I'm using with Glastopf is able to recognize functions with echo calls and parses all calls of this function. Here is a pseudo example how this works:
So as you see, I'm going to rewrite the PHP parser :) Just kidding, but I will use the next days to replace the variable replacement through pattern matching with a much more generic and powerful approach. I have committed a preliminary version of the new parser into SVN, actually you can choose between the old and clumsy and the new anbrainy parser.
Last but not least I invite you all to play around, comment and rewrite my Honeypot. Most parts are already finished and functional.

News tagged with absenteeism
Absenteeism is a habitual pattern of absence from a duty or obligation. Traditionally, absenteeism has been viewed as an indicator of poor individual performance, as well as a breach of an implicit contract between employee and employer; it was seen as a management problem, and framed in economic or quasi-economic terms. More recent scholarship seeks to understand absenteeism as an indicator of psychological, medical, or social adjustment to work.

text: Show Hide image Politics 25 October 2012 Making the world a more dangerous place – the eager role of Julia Gillard Gillard has returned Australia to its historic relationship with Washington, similar to that of an eastern European satellite with Moscow. Sign-up The Australian parliament building reeks of floor polish. The wooden floors shine so virtuously they reflect the cartoon-like portraits of prime ministers, bewigged judges and viceroys. Along the gleaming white, hushed corridors, the walls are hung with Aboriginal art: one painting after another, as in a monolithic gallery, divorced from their origins, the irony brutal. The poorest, sickest, most incarcerated people on earth provide a façade for those who oversee the theft of their land and its plunder. Australia has 40 per cent of the world's uranium, all of it on indigenous land. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has just been to India to sell uranium to a government that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and whose enemy Pakistan is also a non-signatory. The threat of nuclear war between them is constant. Uranium is an essential ingredient of nuclear weapons. Gillard's deal in Delhi formally ends the Australian Labor Party's long-standing policy of denying uranium to countries that reject the NPT's obligation "to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date [and] to nuclear disarmament". Test subjects Like the people of Japan, Australian Aborigines have experienced the horror of nuclear weapons. During the 1950s, the British government tested atomic bombs at Maralinga in South Australia. The Aboriginal population was not consulted and received scant or no warning. Yami Lester, whom I filmed, was blinded by the nuclear flash as a boy. The enduring struggle of Aboriginal people for recognition as human beings has been a fight not only for their land but for what lies beneath it. Since they were granted a status higher than that of sheep –up to 1971, unlike the sheep, they were not counted – many of their modest land rights have been diminished. In 2007, Prime Minister John Howard used the army to launch an "emergency intervention" in Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. Lurid and fraudulent stories of paedophile rings were the cover; indigenous people were told they would not receive basic services, party cabal, including Gillard, who slashed the tax. Diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks reveal that two of the plotters against Rudd were informants of the US embassy, which Rudd had angered by not following to the letter US plans to encircle China and to release uranium for sale to US clients such as India. Gillard has since returned Australia to its historic relationship with Washington, similar to that of an eastern European satellite with Moscow. The day before Barack Obama arrived in Canberra last year to declare China the new enemy of the "free world", Gillard announced the end of Labor's ban on uranium sales to India. Washington's other post-cold-war obsessions demand the services of Australia. These include the intimidation of Iran and destruction of that country's independence, the undermining of the NPT and prevention of nuclear-free zones that threaten the nuclear-armed dominance of the US and Israel. Unlike Iran, a founding signatory of the NPT and supporter of a nuclear-free Middle East, the US and Israel ban independent inspections. And both are currently threatening to attack Iran, which, as the combined agencies of US intelligence confirm, has no nuclear weapons. Uncle Sam's helpers The necessary inversion of reality and the double standard require a "carefully orchestrated pro cess", the US embassy is assured by an Australian official quoted by WikiLeaks. According to the US cables, there are enthusiastic "Australian ideas" for "dredging up" information to help discredit Mohamed ElBaradei who, as director of the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1997 to 2009, repeatedly refuted US claims that Iran was building a nuclear weapon. The director of the Australian arms control office is portrayed as a US watchdog, warning against "a slippery slope" of governments "exercising independent judgement" on nuclear matters. A senior Australian diplomatic official, one Patrick Suckling, told the US that "Australia wants the most robust, intrusive and debilitating sanctions possible" against Iran. Suckling's victims are today mostly ordinary men, women and children. On 5 October, the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance, which includes Aboriginal groups from across the country, gathered in Alice Springs. They called for a moratorium on all uranium mining and sales. Indigenous women made a special plea to Gillard, recently ordained as a feminist hero. No response was expected. On 18 October, all the testaments of obedience and servility to the mighty patron finally paid off when Australia was rewarded with a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, known in Canberra as "the top table". The timing is striking. An attack by Nato on Syria or Iran, or both, has never been closer. A world war beckons as 50 years are marked since "the world stood still", wrote the historian Sheldon Stern. This was the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, when the US and the Soviet Union came within an ace of nuclear war. Declassified files disclose that President John F Kennedy authorized "Nato aircraft with Turkish pilots . . . to take off, fly to Moscow and drop a bomb". The echo today could not be clearer. John Pilger, renowned investigative journalist and documentary film-maker, is one of only two to have twice won British journalism's top award; his documentaries have won academy awards in both the UK and the US. In a New Statesman survey of the 50 heroes of our time, Pilger came fourth behind Aung San Suu Kyi and Nelson Mandela. "John Pilger," wrote Harold Pinter, "unearths, with steely attention facts, the filthy truth. I salute him."

In a sign that the National Park Service is preparing to move forward with buying more local land, it is advertising to hire a realty specialist who will handle land acquisition for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
In a sign that the National Park Service is preparing to move forward with buying more local land, it is advertising to hire a realty specialist who will handle land acquisition for the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
The position's pay will range between $77,500 and $100,800 per year, according to the job description.
The NPS has $66 million to spend to expand park lands from the mitigation package for the Susquehanna to Roseland Transmission Line project. Electric companies PPL and PSE&G are jointly upgrading power lines in the 147-mile project.
The companies needed NPS approval to cross federal lands along existing power company rights-of-way in the park, which predate the park.
The realty specialist job is not to exceed 13 months, but may be extended up to four years, according to the job description. The person will report to a project manager and the deputy superintendent at the park and coordinate with the realty officer at the Northeast Regional Office.
Qualified applicants should have at least one year of specialized experience in planning, organizing and acquiring land in conjunction with public lands programs; coordinating with land trusts, private land owners or public agencies for land acquisition. The applicant should also be experienced at preparing, reviewing, and analyzing documents, applications, land descriptions, appraisals, deeds, titles and other clearances.
Applications must be in by July 24.
As part of federal sequestration in April, the park was forced to reduce its 2013 budget from $9.5 million to $9 million.
That triggered the closing of some Delaware River boat launches, which were later opened with public donations. With the NPS struggling to afford management of what it currently owns, how will it be able to pay for the management of more land?
In a statement for the Pocono Record, Park Superintendent John Donahue said: "In many cases, lands targeted by the mitigation funds are already inside the existing boundaries and are already benefitting from the management and protection the NPS provides to the surrounding areas. In cases where the lands already exist in private hands and create landscape scale connectivity, they have existed that way for at least a century and require little active management. Most importantly the protection of those lands and watersheds that help to create so much of the quality of life we all enjoy and that visitors come to see will be a joint venture with all of our neighbors and local citizens. Only the local people being invested in the long-term protection of lands and waters can ensure they continue to be pristine for future generations."

This column was a neglected for a couple weeks due to some buying trips I took, so tonight I'll attempt to make up for that by presenting you with a triple threat: Shop Spanish Moss, this weeks Sweet Shop.
Vowing to break free from from the 9-5 world, Suzanne Ford Carafano, her brother Chris and husband Vincent launched Spanish Moss Vintage in 2006. What began as a EBay shop catering to rock & roll fashion of the late 1960s – early 1990s has since expanded to a site that not only continues to stock vintage, but sells contemporary clothing which compliments this aesthetic.
Vintage kimonos, 60s babydoll dresses, and 'Almost Famous' style coats can be purchased alongside slashed up tops from Evil Twin, body con Style Stalker leggings, and crystal rings from Low Luv.
The cherry on top of it all is American Gold, Suzanne's exclusive line of vintage inspired womens wear. Peek a boo bell bottoms in burnout velvet, fringe hem caftans, and calico floral minis are among her specialties. Each piece is made in the USA, and only high quality materials are used.
Shop Spanish Moss is a well designed site, which is easy to navigate and features gorgeous editorials by Andrew Kuykendall. The matching blog and magazine add plenty of inspiration too. Peruse them and you'll instantly know this trio not only love, but live for what they do. No wonder they have fans in high places such as Daisy Lowe, Krystal Simpson, Erin Wasson, and Charlotte Kemp Muhl.

Searching for cheap deals and discounts on the internet is a new trend today. Since the economic downturn was hit the world in 2008, people has always tried to get the cheapest possible price when shopping online. Nowadays you can easily find cheap travel deals and hotel rates on the internet too. To help you find a hotel with the most reasonable rates at your travel destination, you might want to follow the five tips below:
1. Start your search early. Beginning your search early will enable you to make the right choice. If you wait until the very last minute, you will tend to make a rushed decision. As the result, you may book a hotel that does not meet your criteria and your budget. It is a good idea to take some time for shopping around. Compare the available hotels carefully and match the price with the quality that they offer. Today, you can also find websites that offer last minute cheap hotel rates but it would be much better to book earlier.
2. Lower attendance usually means lower rates. If you plan to make your visit on a weekend, you should look into hotels that cater for business stays because they are usually full in business days. Also avoid peak season as rates can be double or even triple the price of off season.
3. Browsing the internet is a great way to find cheap hotel deals but it will work more effectively if you do a combination search. It is a good idea to also call the hotel's service desk and ask for their room rates. Then, you can compare the rates offered on the internet and the ones offered by the service desk to get the best deal. Some hotels offer lower rates when you book online or make a call; therefore make sure that you use different methods in searching for a cheap hotel.
4. Find out if you can get a discount. Some hotels usually offer lower price for groups and extended stays. Therefore make sure that you ask the hotel's customer service for this discount before making a reservation. Some hotels also offer discounts for military personnel, university students, and senior travelers. They will not offer these discounts freely if you don't make any inquiry. So, be active in obtaining information about it.
5. Join a hotel membership to save money. After you have chosen a hotel to stay, join their membership to help you get cheaper rates. If you travel a lot, it will really save your budget.

Activity in India's service sector expanded at the fastest pace in a year last month, driven by rising foreign orders, but businesses were a little less optimistic about the future, a survey showed on Tuesday.
The HSBC Markit services Purchasing Managers' Index, which gauges business activity from a survey of over 400 companies ranging from banks to hospitals, jumped to 57.5 in January from 55.6.
The services PMI has held above 50, the level that divides growth and contraction, for over a year, even though India appears set to finish the 2012/13 fiscal year with its slowest economic growth rate in a decade.
Services make up over 60 percent of Asia's third-largest economy. Some of India's top services exports are software, back-office support and banking services.

"Service sector activity continued to pick up pace led by a faster inflow of new business," said Leif Eskesen, HSBC's chief economist for India and Southeast Asia, in a release.
The new business sub-index jumped to 58.3, the highest since August 2011, prompting firms to step up the pace of hiring, although not at a very strong rate.
Although companies were optimistic about the future, the business expectations index fell slightly from December.
The survey also showed input and output prices rising at a similar pace to the prior month, though much weaker than a year ago.
Wholesale price inflation eased to a three-year low of 7.18 percent in December, giving the Reserve Bank of India room to cut its key lending rate by 25 basis points to 7.75 percent last week.

"Inflation readings held broadly steady, with fuel, raw material and labour cost pressures still simmering. These numbers underscore the need for the RBI to approach policy easing with caution," said HSBC's Eskesen.
The central bank is expected to cut the repo rate by another 75 basis points to 7 percent by September.
Manufacturing activity grew in January at its slowest pace in three months, a similar survey showed last week.

Early voting begins Thursday until Nov. 2
Although Election Day is less than three weeks away, residents of Lenoir, Greene and Jones County can put their votes in for the candidates of choice, starting Thursday.
Early voting begins Thursday, with an abundance of candidates in Kinston looking to win the first nonpartisan election in the city.
�I�m hoping for about a 50 percent turnout because we have three candidates running for mayor and eight running for two city council seats,� Lenoir County Elections Director Dana King said. �I hope people are encouraged to get out and vote. Some might think of it as a small election, but these people make big decisions in the community.�
In a poll of 30 residents in Kinston on Tuesday, 22 plan on voting, with seven not planning to and one undecided. Of those 22, 11 will vote early, while four are indecisive.
A strong number of Kinston residents are still learning about the concepts of nonpartisan elections � the elimination of straight ticket and party affiliations on the ballots � as 13 of those polled weren�t familiar with what it entailed.
Kinston resident Barbara Rose agreed with the concept of nonpartisan elections, believing some look at the party, instead of the individual.
�To me, it doesn�t matter if someone is a Democrat or a Republican,� Rose said. �I vote for someone who has plans to fix what I�m concerned about such as the infrastructure and getting new jobs to Kinston. Everyone has their own agenda.�
Not everyone felt the same sentiment. Chawanda Benoit � also from Kinston � felt like nonpartisan elections can confuse some voters.
�I think they should let you know who you�re voting for, because a lot of people vote for whatever party they�re in,� Benoit said.
In Greene County, Board of Elections Director Jane Monroe said she expects to see more people turn out for early voting in Snow Hill than those in Walstonburg, Hookerton and the Maury Sanitary Land District. Still, there won�t be any alternative hours for any town to vote.
�They�ll all have the same one-stop early voting hours,� Monroe said.
Jones County will run with the same laws as Greene County, with residents of the towns not being restricted when it comes to early voting.
�There won�t be different hours for any voter in Trenton, Maysville or Pollocksville,� Jones County Director Gail Lee said.

December 3, 2010
Newly approved changes to Williamsburg Regional Library's lending policies will affect some who currently use library services at its two buildings and mobile vehicles. Beginning Feb. 1, 2011 the library will stop honoring all cards held by those who reside outside the City of Williamsburg, James City County and York County. The changes are a result of a vote by the library's governing Board of Trustees at their regular monthly meeting held Dec. 1 at the Williamsburg Library.
"The Board of Trustees took this action with great reluctance and with a deep understanding of the implications of this change for the service provision of a five-star library," said Williamsburg Regional Library Board Chair Susan S. Geary. "However, in this current economic and political climate where the library has received budget reductions and looks at a future that is full of uncertainty, it became evident that to sustain financial support the library must restrict its circulation privileges to users who live in localities that directly fund Williamsburg Regional Library," she said.
The newly enacted policy reads: "Anyone who resides or owns a business or property in a city or county that funds the Williamsburg Regional Library may obtain a library card. Card privileges may be restricted. A list of privileges is available upon request."
As a result of the library board's action, only those with valid library cards will be able to check out material from Williamsburg Regional Library's collections as of Feb. 1.
"Non-residents may continue to use the Williamsburg Regional Library's materials in-house, ask library staff members for help, attend events in both library buildings and use public computers," says Library Director John A. Moorman. "Every Virginia resident has a local public library that is open and available for use. I encourage those affected by this policy change to contact your local public library and make use of its facilities, materials and services," he said. Moorman also said that those having questions about this new policy are welcome to contact him at (757) 259-7777 or email@example.com.
Williamsburg Regional Library consists of the James City County Library, Mobile Library Services and the Williamsburg Library and serves more than 85,000 people in the City of Williamsburg, James City County and York County.

1. I really want to make this sweater in the colors you used. Do you have yarn substitutions if I can't get the Bugga!?
First, there's going to be a big Bugga! update soon, which will include a lot of orange. Sanguine Gryphon is going to let me know when the update is ready to go, and I'll be posting here right away! So stay tuned!
Second, there are two fingering weight yarns that immediately comes to mind as orange sub yarns. First, Madelinetosh Tosh Sock in Citrus is very close. Tangelo is also good, and Glazed Pecan is a nice, more subtle option. Alchemy Juniper is a super-saturated fingering weight yarn, and Tangerine is a perfect orange. Please let me know if any of you have more suggestions!
2. I really want to make this sweater, but not in the color you used. Do you have yarns to suggest?
Obviously I strongly support the yarns I mention above. Here are some more great ideas: Louet Gems fingering, Malabrigo Sock (it's plied so it wears better than other Malabrigo yarns), Sundara Yarn Fingering Silky Merino or Sock (whoa), or... support a local indie dyer! Again, if you have specific suggestions or are having success with a yarn I haven't mentioned, let me know!
3. I am afraid of steeking this thing.
You can do it! This is the very first thing I ever steeked. I followed the knitty tutorial by Wendy and it went perfectly. However, SEW YOUR STEEKS. DO NOT CROCHET THEM. How do I know this? I tried to crochet them and there was an, um, emergency. However, I was able to sew them and the emergency was averted. SEW THEM. Unless you're using a really clingy Shetland-type yarn.
3a. But will they really hold in a superwash yarn?
Yes, if you sew them. Do it with a machine and use small stitches. Sew two reinforcing seams if you're worried. And then don't machine wash the sweater, please.
4. I'd like to make my cardigan with long sleeves. Advice?
This should be an easy modification. The sleeves are fitted at the lower arms, so I think you could leave the cast on numbers as they are without worrying about flares. They'll be straight and rather fitted to the elbow. You can work the sleeve hem facings as written, no problem.
To determine the best length for the sleeve, I would measure your arm from the point at which you want the sleeve to end to your underarm. Then take a look at the Oranje schematic, and see how long the sleeve is, as written, for your size. Just add the difference between the two measurements to the beginning of your sleeve, before any shaping. Does this make sense?
5. Can I make this as a pullover?
Certainly! Just omit the steek stitches from the front. Easy as can be. However, you'll want to read on to question 6...
6. How can I create a more open neckline?
You'll have to do this if you choose to make this a pullover, because there's no way that collar (which is meant to be worn with a few buttons open to reveal the striped collar lining) is going over your head, no matter how small your head might be.
You can stop knitting after you finish Chart B (and the following decrease round) for a wide round neck, stop after Chart C for a smaller round neck, or make a larger, funnel-type neck by manipulating your stitch counts to match the charts. Because the stranded motifs are small, it would be relatively easy to change your decrease rates and maintain a stitch count that will work with the patterns.
7. You're wearing a hat in the knitty pictures. What's up?
Yeah, I had a terrible non-haircut. You can make yourself the hat, though! It's The Opie Hat, one of my free patterns! Make one to match your cardigan! It's very sporty, I think.
download now for free!
8. I have some fingering-weight yarns in my stash that I'd like to use for the two contrasting colors in the yoke. Exactly how much of each color will I need?
Ah ha! I knew I kept the piece of scrap paper with these calculations on it for a reason. Here we go. You'll need VERY close to the same amount of both contrasting colors, so I'll list the amount you need of EACH here:
32 inch: 200 yards of each
36 inch: 230 yards of each
40 inch: 260 yards of each
44 inch: 300 yards of each
48 inch: 320 yards of each
52 inch: 370 yards of each
56 inch: 395 yards of each
9. Seeing that this cardigan is knit at a rather loose gauge for fingering weight, how do you think it would turn out in a heavier-weight yarn?
If you've swatched fingering (sock) weight yarn on US #6 needles, you'll see that the fabric it creates is thin and stretchy, but not holey. However, if you get gauge using sport or DK weight yarn, I think that would create a very nice fabric for this sweater; thicker and warmer than fingering weight would. However, I would recommend sizing up to allow yourself some ease. As it is, the sweater is designed to fit with no ease, which works well when the fabric is stretchy, but might not be so great if the fabric is thicker. If I were to make this cardigan in a sport weight yarn I would make myself the size 36 bust, even though I'm a 32 inch bust, because I'd want to have that ease built in.
You could even use worsted weight yarn, but you'll have to do some calculations to account for the larger gauge. You could make a swatch and figure out your stitches and rows per inch in your desired yarn and then knit the size from the pattern that matches the numbers you're getting (this would be my first choice... just figure out how many stitches you'll need to cast on using your yarn, then go with the pattern numbers that are the closest to the number you get. This will save you having to recalculate everything). You'll have plenty of time to figure out your row gauge and how that will affect your yoke while you're knitting the body. If you find that your yoke is going to be a LOT deeper due to row gauge, you could eliminate some rows from the pattern or eliminate some of the plain MC yoke rounds before the charts begin.
10. The knitty tutorial on steeking recommends that you sew the steeks from the top of the garment to the bottom of the garment. Can I sew them from the bottom to the top?
Yes, no problem!
11. Can this cardigan be worked flat to avoid the steeks entirely?
Certainly. If you feel comfortable working stranded knitting flat, you won't have any problems. For the braids you will have to alternate a knit row and a purl row for the actual braid twisting rows (both are worked as purl rows when working in the round). I've never done this before, but a little bit of experimentation should make it clear).
12. It looks like you've done some crochet edging on the steek edges that are turned to the inside of the body. How did you do that?
To make my steek edges neater, I worked a row of single crochet along the inside steek borders (in the undyed color). I've seen versions that used machine-sewn edgings and grosgrain ribbon edgings, which are also nice. Let me rephrase. The grosgrain ribbon facings are super nice. I've been meaning to do this on my Oranje, but as of January 2012 I'm still wearing it too often to find the time.
Whew! Have more questions? Suggestions? Let me know!

Questions (2)
Do the Diamine cartridges fit recent manufacture Parker Pens. they look a little on the short side
Asked by Curious
No. Parker use a wider than standard 'mouth' on their fountain pen cartridges. They, therefore, do not accept standard international size cartridges such as Diamine.
i have a Visconti Van Gogh fountain pen NO.105554/A what ink cartridge will fit as normal visconti is to long?
Asked by Sam Sloan
Hello Sam,
We have not heard of a Visconti cartridge not fitting a Visconti Van Gogh fountain pen. The Visconti cartridge is the international standard 'short' cartridge size, as is the Diamine and the two are interchangeable, but if your pen won't accept the Visconti cartridge then the Diamine probably won't fit either. However, we are not aware of any smaller cartridge that will fit a Van Gogh.
Is there any chance that there is something stuck in the barrel that is obstructing the cartridge?

Its crazy how just certain experiences in life can just rip us apart and leave us torn and tattered for many years afterwards. Like abandonment issues...something you went through when you were younger can just tear you apart like tissue paper and leave you picking up shreds of yourself for the rest of your life...trying to figure out how to live with what your past has done to you. Even just one event can come down like a hammer and shatter everything in its wake...leaving cracks and shards from your outermost layers down to the deepest layers not seen by most people.
But there can also be good that comes from that....good that could only come from something like that. Because sometimes it takes being ripped apart down to your soul to release the faith and strength you had inside all along that you never knew you had. Wells of passion and compassion for others that could not be released unless the walls were broken down. So even if you never feel whole again...even if you spend your whole life picking up those broken pieces of your fragile body broken off by that one event...there is still something good that can come from that. Maybe you had to be broken to release something incredible you've had inside you all along.

The crash of an air tanker may prompt another grounding of air tankers during the 2005 fire season.
All three crewmen on board were killed when the military surplus P-3B Orion crashed near Chico, Calif., during a training flight April 22. The aircraft, built in 1966 for the United States Navy, was converted to a fire-bomber after release from military service and was contracted by the U.S. Forest Service for the upcoming fire season. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Last year the large air tanker fleet was grounded after the in-flight break-ups of two aircraft during water drops in the 2002 fire season.
The accidents were attributed to cracks in the wings. Hawkins and Powers of Greybull, Wyo., owned both aircraft. Before the 2002 accidents, the company had 40 years of fighting fires without incidents.
Recently family members of two men killed in one of the 2002 crashes sued six federal agencies saying they allowed lax maintenance, relying on private contractors who were encouraged to keep older planes in the air.
