- Japan
Japan has been producing their characteristic plum wine and sake, a rice wine, for many centuries, with the earliest written recordings of such drinks being enjoyed dating from the 3rd century. It has gradually become more and more popular in the western world, and high demand for such goods has seen a boom in plum wine and sake production all across Japan. High quality sake is especially in demand, and there are currently several AOC style designated appellations producing this aromatic and fascinating ancient beverage. In Japan, both sake and plum wine are usually served with food, or kept for ceremonial purposes and greeting guests, and the west's ever growing fascination with Japan and Japanese cultures means we can expect to see far more of this type of produce in the near future.

Public shooting opportunities indoors may be about to triple in Buffalo Niagara as construction continues toward a June completion date for an indoor range in the Village of Depew, with yet another range coming up for approval Thursday before the West Seneca Planning Board.
West Seneca developer Ransier Development Corp. announced its intent to seek a special-use permit for a 27,000-square-foot indoor shooting range on a parcel at the North America Center on North America Drive. The range, if approved, will allow for long gun, handgun and bow shooting, according to the developer's plans.
It's something West Seneca town officials are hailing as "a positive economic development opportunity."
"It's filling a need," said Supervisor Sheila M. Meegan, adding that there is a lot of "enthusiasm" in the town for the project. "That area of town is where our industrial park is. So, it's not intrusive. For something like this, that's really the ideal location."
In Depew, the indoor firing range to be operated by Wolcott Gun at 3052 Walden Ave. is under construction. After an early rejection by the Town of Lancaster, the range found a home in Depew, where it plans to offer long gun, handgun and archery shooting, along with hunter safety courses.
Tony Fischione, Depew's code enforcement officer, said that the project had passed through the planning and village boards and received building permits, and that he was on location Monday for an inspection of the progress of construction. The owner, Ken Wolcott, told Fischione he expects the new range to open in June.
Neither Wolcott, officials from Ransier nor the architect, the Krog Corp., responded to calls for comment Monday.
If and when both ranges in Depew and West Seneca are operational, they will join the Niagara Gun Range, 3355 Niagara Falls Blvd., North Tonawanda, as the only public indoor ranges in Niagara and Erie counties.
The growth is a positive thing, according to folks such as Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard, local gun rights advocate and training counselor Harold W. "Budd" Schroeder and even Dennis Deasy, the owner of the Niagara Gun Range, who will face increased competition from the new businesses.
"In the current condition things are in, right now, if I was going to do this all over again, I wouldn't do it in this state. I would go to a place where there's a much more business-friendly environment," said Deasy, who was irritated by the state's recent passage of the SAFE Act, which implemented the nation's most restrictive gun laws.
On the other hand, said Deasy, who has operated the North Tonawanda range for 18 years, gun business is picking up. He views his line of work – providing access to a public range – as a public service.
"Most people come here because they have a firearm and they have nowhere to shoot," Deasy said.
Indoor ranges have obvious advantages over their outdoor counterparts – they are climate-controlled, aren't dependent on the weather and are able to stay open year-round. Another big plus is that the enclosed environment provides greater observation and safety controls.
"I'm in favor of them," Howard said of more indoor public gun ranges. "There are not a lot of them. ... For gun owners, it provides an opportunity to practice their skill."
Added Schroeder: "Winter really puts the damper [on outdoor ranges]. ... Shooting is becoming more popular. Look at the increased gun sales."
Indoor ranges aren't a panacea, however. They may contain any released lead, so it's not dropped into the environment, but – unlike open outdoor ranges – there's a substantial risk for airborne exposure to lead. The range distance is often limited, and indoor ranges are expensive to operate and maintain, in terms of repairing, cleaning and insuring.
"It took me 14 years before I was really making money," said Deasy, adding that his efforts to run a safe range with a long history of customer service would ensure his range's viability. "This is something you do for a passion. You're not going to make quick money."
Deasy also said the state's restrictive laws and the publicity surrounding those laws have brought more customers to his store and his range.
"What drives in sales here is the politicians," he said.
West Seneca's Planning Board will take up the proposal on the North America Drive range at its 7 p.m. Thursday meeting in West Seneca Town Hall, 1250 Union Road.

In what is becoming an annual or semi-annual event, President Barack Obama signed a tax bill last December that extended "bonus" depreciation for purchases of new aircraft, including business jets. With each extension, the level of enthusiasm among aircraft buyers and manufacturers has dissipated to the point where new announcements are more soporific than stimulating.
April 1, 2011
Whether it's a buyers' or sellers' market really depends on what model aircraft you're talking about. Across-the-board price cuts for preowned jets continue to lure back buyers, but their tastes have been particular, pushing some model types to their lowest inventory levels in a couple of years while others remain highly available.
February 1, 2011
If you're in the market for a new business aircraft, the time to buy could be now. The reason is the bipartisan Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010, which became law on December 17. The Act includes 100-percent expensing for tax purposes of investments in capital assets, such as business aircraft, purchased between Sept. 8, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2011.
February 1, 2011
The good news about business aircraft financing today is that the money is back. One of the first consequences of the 2008 Wall Street meltdown was that capital disappeared faster than free beer. Many aircraft lenders still proclaimed that they were "ready to do deals," but often they lacked the financial horsepower to deliver on that promise.
February 1, 2011
Because the used-aircraft market enjoyed a robust fourth quarter in 2010, you might expect the current year to witness at least a slow and steady uptick in transactions. That could well be what happens, but keep in mind that fourth-quarter activity is often upbeat-2008 being a key exception-and that this market's future depends heavily on what happens with the overall economy.
November 30, 2010
Not everyone can register an aircraft in the U.S. For starters, in most cases you have to be a U.S. citizen, as defined by federal statutes and FAA regulations. Under applicable statutes and FAA rules, a corporation isn't considered a U.S. citizen unless its president, two-thirds of its board of directors, two-thirds of its "managing officers" and three-quarters of its owners are U.S.
November 8, 2010
We'll remember 2010 as a year when bargain hunters snapped up business aircraft at prices that left some sellers with a sense of disbelief.
October 1, 2010
Today I dusted off a book that I've had for 45 years: Air Navigation, Department of the Air Force. Flipping through the book-which was a gift from an Air Force navigator, the father of one of my Cub Scout buddies-always stirs up memories. One concerns the time my buddy, Richie, and I submitted unsolicited pencil-sketch proposals for fighter jets to the Kennedy Administration.
October 1, 2010
ELSEWHERE IN THIS ISSUE, YOU'LL FIND PLENTY of discussion about the tangible and intangible benefits of using business aviation, but what about the expenses? Nobody ever said flying privately is cheap, but the good news is that it can be less costly than you might think-if you take steps to minimize expenses.
August 1, 2010
Wall Streeters and other experts have been making a variety of persuasive but conflicting predictions about where the economy is headed. Will a recovery be shaped like a V? Or a U? Or perhaps a W? One expert even suggested an L-shaped condition, in which a nosedive would be followed by an indefinite period where we skid sideways along the bottom.
Related Channels
" While it may be tempting to use broad generalizations about the way business aircraft are most often used in America today, let's not neglect the importance of business aviation as a crucial competitive asset to companies, an economic driver and lifeline to communities large and small. "
-Ed Bolen, President of the National Business Aviation Association

Bartik is a minor character in TRON: Legacy and TRON: Uprising. He serves as the main character of the short comic Solar Sailer Prisoners. He is a shadowy figure with a large scar on his face.
TRON: Uprising
Bartik was present in Argon City where he competed in the Light Cycle Races. He and his friend Hopper were stopped by a program known as the renegade, who told them to turn back, as an explosion was about to derez them all. He and Hopper were later recruited by Paige to join a team to stop the renegade.
As part of Paige's taskforce, Bartik took part in Occupation operations. He was among those rounding up programs to be interrogated after General Tesler offered a reward for the capture of the Renegade.
When Pavel claimed that Hopper was the Renegade and had him arrested at the 0001001 Club, Bartik said loudly that he'd known it all along. Later, though, after Pavel left, Bartik was visibly upset, telling Paige that he felt betrayed and finally fleeing from the club, complaining that he needed air.
Solar Sailor Prisoners
Bartik was later seen when he was alerted by Gem to programs being captured by Clu's forces and stored at the solar sailer docks. Along with his ally, Hopper, he went to docks and found the programs on standby being held prisoner in the solar sailers. Bartik used a charge from a grenade on the control panel of one of the solar sailers, reactivating the programs and allowing him to enter. However, one of the programs noticed a patrol of sentries were approaching, so Bartik concocted a plan of having them all remain still, pretending to be deactivated.
When the sentries arrived, they were ambushed by the rogue programs, and although the fight soon swung in favor of the prisoners, Bartik suffered an injury when he was slashed across the face by a sword. The rogue programs appeared to be winning the battle when one of the sentriess sent out a signal for reinforcements. Bartik quickly derezzed the sentry, but he realized that his group wouldn't stand a chance against the more of them, so they were forced to flee.
TRON: Legacy
Bartik later approached Castor in the End of Line Club, seeking audience with Zuse about leading a revolution against Clu. When the Black Guard attacked the club, Bartik fought bravely against them, but was easily derezzed by the guards.

Drift Innovation releasing smaller HD actioncam
The Drift HD actioncam, with the optional monopod attachment
Article Summary
Last August, we did a side-by-side video comparison of Drift Innovation's HD-170 actioncam, and the ever-popular GoPro HERO HD. While we liked the HD-170's image quality, LCD screen, ease of use and swiveling lens, we noted that it lacked the HERO's replaceable lens, and that it was considerably longer (although narrower) than the GoPro camera. Well, with its new compact Drift HD, Drift Innovation has addressed both of those shortcomings.

Snow, rain, ice make for tough driving in Michigan - accidents slowing traffic
Monday, January 28, 2013
DETROIT (AP) -- An overnight mix of snow, rain and ice throughout much of southern Michigan is making for a messy drive.
Spin-out accidents are being reported in the Detroit area where a few hundred schools and districts have decided to cancel classes for the day.
Snow started falling in downtown Detroit shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday. Freezing rain followed and shifted to rain by early Monday.
The combination resulted in slushy, icy roadways in the region.
The good news is that temperatures are expected to steadily rise well above freezing on Monday and Tuesday, where they may threaten record highs in parts of the state.
The following accidents are causing traffic to slow, closing roads

Re: Static Electrikitty
HAHAHAHA. Have you seen that graphic on the internet about cats and toast? Toast always lands butter-side-down. Cats always land on their feet. If you stick the butter on the cat's back, you get CWAAAYYZZYEEEEE anti-gravity!
Re: Defying Gravity - Prehistoric
Not a fan of the 'modern' version, but I like the whimsy here. however, black on asphalt doesn't always show up well, particularly fine details. (See all the complaints regarding 'Nevermore' as an example.) Personally, I'd wear the hell out of this on lemon.
Re: Bread and Butter
The lines are very thin, and may be too hard to print.
Re: a simple question of weight ratios
First design in about 4 months that I'd buy. Hope it makes it!
Re: COWABUNGA
Fabulous work as always ... still waiting with bated breath for you to get your due around here!
I like the idea. The coconuts do look too much like bowling balls. Perhaps you could put some texture into them to help distinguish for those who do not know it's reference. I'd like to see a resub personally with those changes. As is now the bowling ball aspect bothers me.

Because it is hard to verify that the photo is your own original (see the Terms and Conditions for entering the derby) and because photos often have gradients and halftones that they cannot print, Woot does not allow photos.

They said everything was fine except for the words on the shirt image. Plus, I've seen some fairly vulgar stuff on here before.
Re: Grumble
Any well-executed design with a cow gets my vote!
Re: A Positive Attraction
I resubmitted this design with a few extra details this time. My design is supposed to be two positively charged particles in love with one another but the nature of physics is not letting them be together (since likes attract in real life but repel in terms of electricity). The lines around the protons represent the electric field lines used to envision the electric field at any given point in space around the protons and oddly enough create the shape of a heart to emphasize their love. Although there is no "+" sign due to the no text rule this week, the arrows pointing away from the particles conveys enough information that these are indeed two of the same positively charged atoms. Thanks for looking and don't hesitate to vote!
Re: Retro Physics
I like your color choice a lot - I think it pops well and really has the retro feel you were going for. And congratulations on not going the "distressed" route so many choose when doing retro - in some cases it works, I guess, but I infinitely prefer this shirt without.

Gotta say, I'd much prefer it without the face. As it is, I can't quite vote for it--and that's got nothing to do with any other shirt.

I rolled over laughing, it makes me a little sad too. This is a very fun and cool shirt. You've GMV, hope it prints.
Re: The Black Hole
nice, i know a couple of people who would want this shirt. my father knows the guy who came up with the equation of how much mass it would take to create a black hole...i've been trying to get his equation signed to hang on my wall in exchange for a drawing forever! Nice job! This is the cutest black hole i've ever seen =) kinda reminds me of a chomper from marios bros.

I tried a bunch of textures and none of them looked right. Since there's demand, I'll explore it again and put up a second version.
This armadillo's learned his lesson! What lesson? This one. Love the song, love the critters, and love the shirt! GMV.

REVIEW: Snitch
This is no "Tooth Fairy". He can really act! The actor formerly known as The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, gives his most impressive career performance yet in this action thriller-family drama that centers on a hardcore issue: mandatory drug sentences that can mean longer jail terms than those for rapists or even murderers.
Based on a real-life "Frontline" report , Johnson stars as a trucking company owner whose headed-for-college son is accused of a drug distribution crime. Basically, the kid faces a mandatory ten years unless, like a "good" friend did to him , he turns in another drug distributor (even if he has to frame him like he was framed) to knock down the sentence. The kid refuses to play ball. So, his dad decides to take matters into his own hands and makes a deal with the U.S, attorney (Susan Sarandon) to work as an undercover informant . The question is posed to the audience: how far would you go to save your kid?
It's all-star cast. Besides Sarandon, as the hard-as-nails ambitious prosecutor, Barry Pepper and "The Wire's" Michael Kenneth Williams turn in gritty, hardcore performances.
Directed by one-time stunt driver Ric Roman Waugh, the action is top-notch, especially with Johnson doing all but one scene without a stunt double. Very impressive. Equally impressive is that it's balanced as a family drama . Not to mention the social issue that will weigh on you after long the movie ends.
This is definitely not your typical mindless Hollywood thriller.

Never Say Never Again
I won't sing that song again. I will take a moment to reiterate that while the American public insists it is my duty as a male citizen to love baseball, I insist it is my right as an adult citizen to not give a flying fig about it. I'm fully on board with the flag, motherhood, and apple pie; but even Ken Burns couldn't get me to regard our soi-disant national pastime with anything other than a jaundiced eye.
And yet.
And yet when I got a call from the owner of our own, dear Loopy Yarns to please put together a promotional table on the day of Chicago's Stitch 'n' Pitch event, how could I say no? Baseball has not been good to me, but knitting has. There would be 150 knitters at the park–but also a few thousand people who might be among the lapsed or the latent. How often do you get a platform like that upon which to evangelize?
Would I do it? Sure I would. For knitting, I would do it.
Happily I had an accomplice and companion for the day–my friend Abigail. I first met her when she lured me up to LaCrosse, Wisconsin, to address the town's annual fiber gathering. You don't spend a wild weekend with somebody in LaCrosse and not form a bond.
Abigail is the sort of person who will drive you to the South Side, roll your dress form across five acres of parking and up a ramp while people cat-call, and never complain even though all she gets out of the deal is free nachos and beer. She will even push the dress form down the ramp and back across the parking lot, drive you home, and continue speaking to you.
Abigail is, to borrow a slangy bit of praise from P.G. Wodehouse, a complete brick.
So we set up a table and talked to people. I brought samples of my stuff and posted a directory of Chicagoland yarn shops and guilds, as well as information about the upcoming Big Deal Yarn Events (Stitches Midwest, Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair, Yarn Con, Vogue Knitting Live! Chicago) of which we have an abundance.
The knitters and crocheters were all lovely, and so were most of the shop owners. (Note to the sole exception: I was advertising your shop. Free. Happily. With great spirit. On my first and only day off in weeks. And I spent my own money doing it. If you want top billing, design input, and no nasty hairy dark ethnic men mucking up your lily white women's event, you go ahead and run the table next year. Really. It's all yours, honey.)
Mostly, because they were the majority, Abigail and I talked to people who were not knitters, or crocheters, or needleworkers of any stripe. About thirty minutes into the game we realized we kept hearing the same things over and over. So to beguile the time and stave off madness, I drew up a bingo card. (If you click it, it'll get bigger.)
By the top of the fifth inning, the drunks were starting to lurch perilously close to the lace and we decided to break camp. We had achieved bingo forty-seven times.
But I think we got a few more people into the tent.
It was worth it.

I, too, have an immense dislike for "America's Passtime."
Okay, that's not quite correct: I have a dislike of watching baseball; I have no problem playing baseball.
With that said, I don't know if even knitting could coerce me to go to any sort of baseball event where I was not playing.
I commend you for going. - 8:46 PM

Bingo is genius! Did you quote prices to anyone asking for you to make something? because that could have been like double bingo as they picked their jaws up off of the floor
- KelleBelle said...
We need this at hockey games, but what hockey words work for knitting & crochet? Pucks & nupps? Stitches & stitches? (those in the work and those to bodily injuries). Goals & holes? (lace knitting).
- ali said...
Franklin, Bless you for bringing the word about knitting to the ball park. As one who knits and also works for a ball team, I can assure you that you are a mensch and adorable for your efforts.
- Sally said...
Aw. Franklin. Say it ain't so! Okay so maybe it's just life in STL Cardinal Nation, but listening to baseball while knitting is just life at its best. Being at the game with some not-too-taxing knitting also =s Life-Is-Good. I think it's just baseball in Chicago. Sorry.
- Mixed Martial Arts and Crafts said...
I guess I'm the odd lady out here cos I love baseball but I'm a Yankees fan. And yet, I've never been to a Stitch n Pitch.

I have been a fan of yours for years, and follower of your blog less time (mostly because I tend to be slow to the "hot" stuff).
BUT...you totally had me (for life, no less) when you quoted PG Wodehouse.
My best friend and I read EVERY one of his books in high school, and she decided to get a Kindle (even though she reads constantly, as do I) JUST because his books are free on it.
I am, once again, a fan for life. - 10:42 PM
- EmEm said...
You are a saint for your time at an event that you hate. I am sorry you had to deal with ungrateful and rude people (both the "sole exception" and anyone who cannot see the beauty in a knitters creativity). I agree that the BINGO game was great.
- EmEm said...
P.S. Carlton "Pudge" Fisk was an 11 time All-Star catcher for the Red Sox and then the White Sox's, but I doubt he knew how to knit.

- Epenthetical said...
I too, dislike baseball (although playing it in the backyard with my grandfather when I was a kid was fun when I managed to hit the ball over the roof multiple times). In recent memory, when I said to fellow committee members, while scheduling a meeting and arguing about times that wouldn't conflict with a Canucks game, that "It's just a hockey game," I was looked at as if I'd just run through a church service stark naked. I'd much rather be a knitting group, arguing about books.
- Joan said...
As an expat it always amuses me how attached the English husband and two kids have become to the yearly pilgrimage to the ballpark. Probably because we would go en masse with cousins, aunts and uncles. The show is in the bleachers, Franklin!

I wish I could have been there, not for the baseball either. Alas, I live in Florida and that's that. Thank you for your support and excellent PR for our favorite fiber crafts, sir. (And Abigail, too!) And to the asshat store owner (not to imply they sell asshats in the store), grow the frak up!

As another poster said, the show is in the bleachers! This post made me think of the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast from NPR. Two of the casters are not baseball fans but enjoyed going to a game, because there is *beer* there. And when it was Gay Day at the game, it was like a big party.
And on a related note, I'm so sorry that "Homophobia, Assorted" was a square on the bingo card. - 11:08 AM

Buzzword bingo is great for big meetings too, though way less knitter focus!
- geogrrl said...
A knitter in my group in Baton Rouge remembers Rosie Greer mowing their lawn when he was a young teen. She said he was enormous even then.
If you did the same thing at a hockey event, you could mention (or will have mentioned) Jacques Plante. I like this exerpt from one of his biographies:
"Years later, when his hockey career had taken him away from his impoverished beginnings, many teammates as well as members of the press were taken aback by Plante's habit of knitting his own undershirts, socks, toques, and scarves. But he would always speak with pride of his ability to knit a pair of socks in a day and a toque in a mere three and a half hours. Throughout his life, Plante used knitting as a form of relaxation, oblivious to the reaction of those around him; this was his way to unwind after being the target of onrushing pucks. However, typical of the man, there was also a practical side to his needlework.
"I can't get what I want in the stores," Plante explained of his choice in undergarments, "so I knit [them]. I use four-ply wool. They must not be too warm. I use larger needles because small ones produce a thicker weaving and the holes are too small."

- Pretty Knitty said...
I spent approximately 12 summers crocheting and knitting at the ball field, while watching my son play baseball. I also spent about 14 springs, summers and winters doing the same in the bleachers, in the gym, and while following cross country races, while both of my kids played the various sports of the season...baseball is the only one I learned to love. I suspect it's because the other moms at the baseball games (and sisters and grandmas, and even my daughter) showed some interest, and some of them even eventually let me teach them a thing or two. They labelled me a knitting evangelist, and warned the new moms that they would soon be sucked in to the madness if they sat too close. Those were my glory days!
Oh, and I love the BINGO card...I wish I had thought of that about 16 years ago! - 5:49 PM
- Leigh said...
You're a saint for even going to one of those BORING events. Can't stand the sport. That said, I knit while listening to golf (husband's choice, not mine) so really, I have no high ground.
BINGO - hilarious. Disturbing. - 5:59 PM
- Katie T. said...
Hi, Franklin!
Long-time lurker, 2nd-time commenter!
Good for you for being such a good sport about working the table at the Stitch n Pitch! I think sitting at the table with you would've been MUCH more fun that watching the game. (Baseball? Meh! If I'm going to watch a sport it'll be rugby!) And I love the Bingo card, though the "homophobia" square is both depressing and not surprising.
Also, count me as one who would love to know which shop is owned by such a horrible and stupid person. I don't have much of a knitting budget, so I try to be mindful of where I spend my money. And I'd rather not spend it at a shop owned by a narrow-minded idiot. I realize that you've said as much about the shop as you're willing to in such a public forum, but I may have to ask if I ever meet you in person. :-) - 9:09 PM
- Canadian gal said...
Ah, geez, Franklin. Homophobia, assorted or ill-assorted; that's just crappy.
If there were knitting tables run by you and Abigail at every baseball game, I'd be a fan of baseball for sure. - 9:54 PM
- Anonymous, too said...
When I was a young lad, the Sox gave free tickets to kids who had perfect attendance and/or got straight A's. I got lots of those tickets. The only way my dad could convince me to go to the games was to slip me some beer when the vendor wasn't looking.
And that sole exception --
a.) deserves to have her stock infested with clothes moths and silverfish; and
b.) was jealous you were wearing the only fur approved by PETA. - 10:39 PM

Not a fan of baseball, either, but will admit that work-paid-for attendance at a game offered up some premium knitting time.
As far as that sole exception, definitely, she gets to man the booth next year! - 1:26 PM

I LOVE baseball. My husband hates it (but memorizes names & such to keep baseball lovers he interacts with in the working day happy). Oddish.
The Bingo card is genius. I really think you should make up a set of them and sell them at fiber events. Copyright them...I'd buy one!
And you should have sent Dolores after the nasty little shop owner...or is she banned from the ballpark? (Dolores, I mean...though I'd much rather meet her than the little darling you described to us.) - 3:11 PM

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I am taking this to our next Sit N Knit. At Great Lakes, our group did a scavenger hunt. At Mid-Ohio, we can do Bingo.
I know we'll have to change some (most) of the blocks, but it is doable! Thanks for a great idea.
PS. Be glad you have Stitch N Pitch. No one in SW Ohio (Reds, Dragons, etc.) has it. - 5:27 PM

We have a bingo card for lace group demos - it has squares like "My grama/great aunt/mother used to tat" and "I would never have the patience".
- Diane E. said...
The "highlight" of the last baseball game I attended was the hot dog vendor - Charlie Frank (yes that was his name). When he got down to the last few weenies in his hot dog box he wore around his neck, he'd shout "Doggie O, Ho Ho" then break out into his song "I have three little dogs who have lost their way, baa, baa, BAAA!" Until he was sold out. Then he'd go back inside, load up his weiner box again and repeat the above. It was a long night...
- Laura said...
The bingo card is SO perfect! I have heard every single one (except those directed to males or homophobic comments since I'm a straight female) at some time or other. I just quoted a guy a starting price of $280 for a pair of hand-knit socks last weekend, in fact. He nearly choked. It was fun. :)
I do have one question, though -- when, oh when, is the Iceland Sky shawl pattern going to be released? I ADORE that pattern; I have been waiting anxiously for you to release it since I even found a source of Lopi Einband yarn here in the US! Please update us on this gorgeous pattern, of fabulous hairy male ethnic knitter extraordinaire? - 8:09 PM

The Bingo card is just priceless! Thanks for making me laugh today!
- LindaV said...
I'm cracking up at all but the "assorted homophobia." Sigh. At least you are able to find humor in it. Rock on, Franklin!
We used to play "A-hole Bingo" in law school. The cards had student's names. When someone made a particularly inane or brown-nosey comment in class you put an X over their square. When you won, you had to raise your hand and work the word "bingo" into your comment. Being as there was no shortage of A-holes in such a place, it made for some very interesting class discussions. - 3:16 AM
- SallyT said...
Franklin, you make my day.
- Meg C said...
Franklin, you're a comic genius. Bingo seems to be a leitmotif for you. Remember the French travellers who were prodding suspiciously at their airport food? You observed them for us, and wrote you were surprised they hadn't mentioned liver failure. When they did, you wrote something like "They just said it! I feel like shouting 'Bingo'!"
I'm with you on baseball. God Help Me.
Jen Vancalcar of Holiday Yarns tells very stories about the time when she had a storefront, as well as her on-line business. She got mall-walkers coming in (the shop was in a strip mall). Mostly older women, they would keep her busy with their stories of a mother, grandmother, or aunt who knitted. When she would ask if they knitted, also,they would say "oh no!", as if the idea were too bizarre for words. Very funny.
Courage! Please keep the blog coming. You have no idea how much I rely on it. - 9:18 AM

Also, "Homophobia, assorted" made me laugh, but it's sad that it's still so prevalent it warranted its own bingo square. - 2:15 PM

I hate baseball, but I'd go knit in the stands because the game is so boring (to me). I love hockey, and I'd never knit in the stands or even watching at home because I get far too excited and I'd spend too much time ripping it all out later.
Bless you and your patience, and I do hope that Madam LilywhiteKnits is properly identified and made to understand the error of her ways. Stupidity should be painful to the practitioner, not just the people around them. - 4:50 PM

You are a doll for doing all of that and the BINGO card was hilarious. I'm going to make one for the next time my group goes to WWKIP.
As for the one exception to the nice shop owners - for the love of the wool, man, don't let her near it! - 10:13 PM

I would just LOVE to run into your booth when I am dragged to a ball game. Always with my knitting, we could have shared!
- Benita said...
I showed your Bingo game to my husband, and he said the next comic book convention we do, we are going to make a similar one - scary, a lot of the squares would be the same as yours. Although instead of "My grandmother does that" it'll be "My son draw, too!" Sigh... Happy playing!!!
- Laura McNeal said...
This is exactly what book festivals are like for writers. Except for the dress form. Maybe I will take one of those with me next time along with your bingo card? Love what you write and what you knit (and also, to be totally honest, baseball). That's what makes you great: that even people who don't agree with everything you say fall in love with you.

Franklin, I wish you would post more often. Or at least put those posts together into a book or something.
What has Dolores been up to lately? Surely she hasn't gone all sweet and cuddly on you? - 6:01 PM
- RoianaB said...
Dear Franklin, your a true knitting hero for taking your time to promote in a venue not to your liking - love ya for it. Also, sorry you had to put up with the sourpuss shop owner - I swear there is one in every city, it certainly wasn't because of you.
Hoping to eventually catch one of your classes, until I do, I will just keep stalking you here ;) - 10:55 PM

I, too, was left out of the great enthusiasm until a friend mentioned that baseball was the only sport not based on war...which allowed me to be indifferent and not actively unamerican/dislike the hot, smelly, sweaty sing-a-longs held in stadiums. And now, you even speak baseball [top of the fifth inning?!? wow.] Bingo is great fun -- and impressive. NOBODY asked where the bathrooms were????

I am a huge baseball fan but I do understand those that do not like baseball!
I have had the opportunity to sit with Rosie Grier while he was knitting a beautiful piece of lace. Those huge hands just flew!! Unfortunately, it was before I started knitting & crocheting but at least I appreciated what he was doing. - 6:10 AM

Saturday, May 5, 2012 - Lakewood, N.J.
The Wilmington University lacrosse season came to a close on Saturday afternoon, as the fourth seeded Wildcats could not overcome top seed Holy Family, 15-10, in the first semifinal of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament hosted by Georgian Court University.
The Wildcats (9-8 overall) cut the deficit to two with on a pair of occasions, the last coming after back-to-back goals with 15:41 remaining in regulation, but could not get any closer as Holy Family (13-4) scored five of the final seven goals to advance to the CACC Championship game on Sunday.
The Tigers, the CACC regular season champions, avenged the only conference loss they received by defeating Wilmington in its next two meetings, including today in the semifinals. The Wildcats were the only conference team to take down Holy Family in the regular season, a 13-11 victory on March 20.
On Saturday, the Wildcats started out fast, scoring the game's first goal as Jess Stratton beat Tiger goalkeeper Melissa Jenkins 3:47 into the contest. The goal came after Wildcat goalkeeper Kaitlyn Hall made a stick save on a free-position shot to open the game.
But the Wildcats couldn't stem the momentum they created with the first goal as Holy Family knotted the score with 23:42 left in the first half. The Tigers then tallied three more goals in a row, making it 4-1 in favor of the number one seed with 18:48 to play.
Rebekah McCurry ended the streak with a goal nearly nine minutes after Holy Family's fourth tally, making it 4-2 with 9:49 left in the first half. The Tigers didn't hesitate to keep the Wildcats at an arm's length, however, as they retaliated with two more goals of their own to make it 6-2 with 7:08 to play. The teams traded one goal apiece to close out the first half, as the Wildcats converted a one-timer as Molly Taylor slammed home nice feed from Liz Case for their third and final goal of the half.
Wilmington came out on fire again to start the second half, scoring the first goal of the second stanza nearly a minute and a half in. This time, it was Case who tallied the goal on a feed from Brittany Rhodes to get the ball rolling in the second frame.
After Holy Family got on the board with a goal, the Wildcats cut the deficit to two for the first time of the second half with back-to-back goals by Megan Keffer and Stratton. The two goals came 13 seconds apart as Stratton controlled the draw following Keffer's goal and took it down the field, beating Jenkins again to make it 8-6 with 22:35 remaining in regulation.
The Tigers bounced back and stretched the margin back out to four with a pair of goals over a two minute mark, leading 10-6 with 17:05 showing on the scoreboard.
But the resilient Wildcats retaliated with two more goals of their own, getting back within reach as they tallied back-to-back goals in 16 seconds. After Hall made another save on the defensive end, Stratton tallied her third goal of the game to make it 10-7 with 15:57 to play. Meggan Apgar collected the ensuing draw control and passed it off to McCurry for her second goal of the game and to bring it to within two, 10-8, once more with 15:41 to play.
Unfortunately, that would be as close as the Wildcats would get in the match, as the Tigers seized momentum and scored the next four goals of the game to take a commanding 14-8 lead with only 7:37 left in regulation.
Wilmington would score twice more in the final five minutes of play, but it was too little too late as Rebecca Guethler capped the scoring at the 1:24 mark to make it 15-10 in favor of the top seed.
Stratton and McCurry led the Wildcats with three goals apiece, while Keffer, Taylor, Case, and Guethler tallied the remaining four goals. Case finished with two points by adding an assist while Rhodes also tallied an assist for the Wildcats.
Hall recorded 13 saves, eight in the first half to keep the Wildcats in the ballgame. The Wildcats were outshot 41-19 in the game, but had 15 of their shots reach the cage. Jenkins made five stops in goal for the Tigers.
The game was the final contest for three Wilmington seniors, as they wrapped up their college careers by reaching three CACC Tournaments in four seasons. Guethler, Jess Graybeal and injured Kory Webster played their final games while donning the Green and White.
Wilmington finished the season 9-8 overall, and 6-6 in the CACC. They are now 0-3 all-time in the CACC Tournament, 0-2 against Holy Family. Stratton and McCurry were named to the All-Tournament team for their efforts.
