The newly updated VLP FAQ is now on IBM developerWorks, everything you wanted to know and weren't afraid to ask!
Virtual Loaner Program FAQ on IBM developerWorks - General
Virtual Loaner Program FAQ - AIX
Virtual Loaner Program Unscheduled Outage - February 24, 2011
VLP System Users,
There was a catastrophic failure at the electric power substation which supplies power to the data center housing the IBM Virtual Loaner Program, the morning of 24-Feb. The VLP data center has a fully functional and frequently tested backup electrical power system which includes diesel generators. However, the erratic nature of the failure at the substation resulted in the loss of part of the backup configuration. As such, the entire remote access computing environment was shutdown in an abrupt but organized fashion rather than expose the equipment to a shutdown caused by the sudden and total loss of electric power.
Most of you experienced an outage from about 0930 CT to about 1900 CT. With a few exceptions, the VLP is again fully functional. If you are still having trouble, please contact VLP Support via the Support tab on our website or Live Chat so we can help you resolve the issue.
The VLP team, Dallas sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused by this failure. The events and associated logs will be carefully reviewed and appropriate preventative measures will be implemented.
Thanks for using the VLP
VLP 3.0 released upon the world!

VLP 5 Year Anniversary
Jwestern 110000974Y Tags:  vlp anniversary 3,148 Views
The IBM Virtual Loaner Program celebrated it's 5 year Anniversary on May 27, 2009. Thanks to everyone on the VLP Team and to all of our Business Partners that utilize the VLP. We are nothing without you.[Read More]
VLP and POWER Systems
Throughout the year, we make changes to VLP to fix bugs and update content to reflect changes in the hardware and operating systems that we provide in VLP. Last weekend, we made more changes to VLP to fix some minor bugs in our web-facing user interface. One thing we changed last weekend was the representation of the POWER hardware architectures. Now, VLP refers to all POWER5-based systems using the name POWER5. Also, we now refer to all POWER6-based systems as POWER6. We used to make a distinction between POWER5 systems that can run IBM i (i5 O/S) and those that cannot. But, since from a product standpoint, IBM no longer makes that distinction, we decided to eliminate it.
This change took some time to make because the VLP is an automated system. Your reservation request goes from the web-application to a set of servers that automatically provision your system. Most reservations require very little human intervention. It is the thing that makes it easy for you to make VLP reservations around the clock.[Read More]
VLP changes, Discontinued 10GB shared user space
Dear VLP User,
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for using the IBM Virtual Loaner Program during the last six months. You may have noticed a few changes during this time. Late last year the maximum memory allowed for a reservation changed from 4GB to 6GB, and then on March 18th, the disk allocation was upgraded so that AIX and Linux systems now have a 35GB base disk, instead of the previous 20GB allocation. The VLP will continue to make additional changes this year as we transition to the IBM Cloud provisioning infrastructure.
As part of the ongoing changes to the VLP, on May 31, 2011, we will discontinue providing the current 10GB shared user space currently mounted as your user /home/u000xxx directory. While we know some users utilize this space, most users do not. The significant increase in the base disk allocation should mitigate the removal of this space. If you currently have data stored in this mounted space, you will need to make a reservation (or use a reservation you created after March 18th, with the larger disk) and move the information currently in /home/u000xxxx to another place on the base disk. Then "save" your reservation. In the past, the 10GB space was automatically saved, but after April 30 it will no longer exist, and you will be required to request a save of your reservation, if you want your information to persist. If you need the information in this space on multiple reservations, you will need to copy it to the base disk in each system, as the automatic sharing will also no longer be provided.
Any reservation created after May 31, 2011 will not have this space mounted or available. Reservation created prior to April 30, will still have access to the space mounted until the end of that reservation, Restores of previous reservations will NOT have the space mounted.
If you have any questions or need assistance with this migration before May 31, 2011, please feel free to request support thru our web site, either via our e-mail support, or our interactive Live Chat function.

VLP is Moving
Jwestern 110000974Y Tags:  vlp datacenter outage 1 Comment 4,648 Views
The Virtual Loaner Program website and systems will be unavailable from 12:01AM CDT (GMT-06:00) on Friday, July 13, 2007 through 12:01 AM CDT (GMT-06:00) on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 as we move all VLP systems to a new Data Center. Please plan your work accordingly. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this extended outage may cause, but it is necessary as we continue to grow the VLP. We do not anticipate any major issues during the move -- all VLP systems will simply be shutdown, moved to the new location, and then restarted. Any active reservations that span the move period will be active and available again on Tuesday. If your reservation is scheduled to end during the outage period, it will be removed during the outage. We recommend that you save or backup any critical information on your active VLP reserved systems to a non-VLP repository prior to the move. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us using the "VLP Support" tab on your reservation page at---> www.ibm.com/systems/vlp

Moen made "The Play" in the "Big Game"
By Phillip Lee
Special to ESPN Classic
Simply known as "The Play," it is probably one of the most bizarre plays in college football history and, maybe, sports history. On Nov. 20, 1982, quarterback John Elway led Stanford down the field and kicker Mark Harmon booted a 34-yard field goal to give the Cardinal a 20-19 lead, and apparent win, over California with four seconds left in the game.
But on the ensuing kickoff, California's Kevin Moen grabbed a squib kick and lateralled it to Richard Rodgers, who lateralled to Dwight Garner, who lateralled back to Rodgers, who lateralled it Mariet Fiord who lateralled back to Moen. Moen then ran through the Stanford marching band, which started onto to field, and raced into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. Five laterals, 57 yards, a game-winning touchdown and a marching band. It became simply known as "The Play." Phillip Lee recently got in touch with Kevin Moen to find out what he's been up to.
PHILLIP LEE: What have you been doing lately?
PL: Did you think about continuing your football career?
PL: Talk about "The Play." Is it as fresh in your mind today as it was 19 years ago?
PL: Was there a set play for the kickoff return?
PL: Did you know that it was going to be a squib kick?
PL: I understand that you've made friends with the Stanford trombone player, Gary Tyrrell, who you crushed in the end zone after scoring the touchdown.
PL: How did you meet Gary?
PL: When was the last time you saw all the guys?
PL: Do you stay in touch with any teammates?
PL: Have you ever talked to John Elway about the game?
PL: Do you have a copy of the game?
PL: How often do you watch it?
PL: So you've never popped it in the VCR and watched it?
PL: How has this play affected your life?

Speeding cop in dash cam video: 'I think I hit a person'
(FOX NEWS INSIDER) - The prosecutor's office in Berrien County, Michigan, has released a graphic dash cam video from a police cruiser that struck and killed a pedestrian crossing the street.
"I need emergency units to my location. I need medic trucks. I think I hit a person," former officer Eugene Anderson says to radio dispatchers in the video moments after his police cruiser hits a woman.
Kimberly Bedford, 48, died at the scene.
Anderson, who was speeding and driving without siren or lights en route to a domestic call, has been fired and charged in the September incident.

RISE students always strive to achieve their best. Whether they are doing their school work or giving a presentation to thousands, our students dedicate all their attention to their work. Here are just a few of RISE's top students who demonstrate leadership and hardwork.
The Rise Cup competition, in its fouth year, continues to give Rise's best students a platform to demonstrate not only their mastery of English, but also their skills in problem-solving, leadership, and teamwork.
Every year, nearly 100,000 students from across China participate, with only 10% of these proceeding to the second round. By the final round, only 30 students remain. The final show lets student really perform, while on a select few can claim the cup.
2014's competition highlighted environmental issues for which the students had to find real-world solutions. The "global guardians" performed spectacularly, showing great academic ability and team spirit, not to mention stage presence. The students encountered obstacles along the way: tears, homesickness, last-minute changes, even failure—but they persevered, showing that the true spirit of a hero lies not only in spectacular feats, but also in the ability to persist, little by little, toward a noble goal.
2015's competition was about the student and what they had within themselves. What are worthy vitures to exhibit and how can they better the world by bettering themselves. Students focused on generosity, teamwork, respect, courage, integrity, and passion. Their mission: to find real problems and come up with a plan of action to spearhead it. Only through hard work and creativity, could students succeed.

Writing win32 applications with python and glade
To this question, I will be able to write a 200-pages book to descrive how wonderful is python, how powerful is python, how clear is python... I can be a good python prophet !!! But to be unbiased I will quote the definition that can be found in Python homepage:
"Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.
Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing... Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX, on Windows, OS/2, Mac, Amiga, and many other platforms..."
What is Glade?
"Glade is a free user interface builder for GTK+ and Gnome".
There is a GTK+ binding for python and thanks to Glade it's possible to create an ui in a visual way.
I decided to write an article explaining how to use python and glade to create win32 apps (a compiled app!!!).
I stopped writing articles and books for 5 months so it's my first article of the year (I hope I will be able to write a new security book this year).
In this article, I show how I coded BitPodder: from the ui creation with Glade to the making of the installer with NSIS and zip2exe. I hope this article will help people that start pygtk programming...
Here is the index of the article:
- License
- What are we going to do?
- What you should have before starting...
- What is PyGTK?
- Let us start
- Building the windows
- How to code this app in python?
- How to compile BitPodder?

I'm a 38G and want a Reduction to around a C, can I lose the weight AFTER surgery?
Doctor Answers 3
Losing weight after Surgery
Hello and thank you for sharing your concerns. It is certainly not "hopeless" in your situation. Generally it is best to lose weight before surgery, however some patients receive surgery before losing weight to be able to perform daily activities. I suggest consulting with a board certified surgeon who can offer you specific medical advice based on your situation. I wish you the best of luck!
Breast reduction and weight concerns…
Thank you for the question. No, your situation is certainly not "hopeless". The advice you receive care is based on limited information and is meant to provide you with general advice/thoughts in regards to the ideal way to proceed, in any given situation.
Sometimes, patients who are overweight benefit from breast reduction surgery. As you stated, these patients are then able to continue their work out regimen with less difficulty. Of course, patients who undergo breast surgery while overweight need to understand the surgery itself is riskier (peri-operative complications) and the outcome may not be the same quality of an outcome. As you have read previously, the potential need for revisionary surgery is greater in these cases as well.
Again, certainly not hopeless but much to think about (careful consideration of risk/benefits). Best wishes.

Can't Lose Weight First
Thank you for your question. There's no doubt you will get a better result if you lose weight first but its not easy. First, you should have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. A great consult will help you find some motivation to work that last bit harder before your surgery. Second, you need to see someone who can help you with your weight concerns. Sometimes you just cant do it yourself. Whether its diet, exercise, hormone changes, thyroid problems or just deciding a weight loss procedure is what you need, you will be healthier because of it. Last, there's not a rule. There is no question any plastic surgeon would prefer you to be closer to your goal weight, but exceptions exist. Occasionally your reduction can be an earlier step if you are realistic about your expectations.
Best, Dr. Schwartz

My new blog will centre on all the activities in my life I feel compelled to blog about rather than just knitting.

A lot of things have happened recently and while I continue to knit and will blog about it; these new things will have a place on the new blog.

We recently bought our own house! We moved Dec. 1 to our first home and it is keeping me very busy. I also am very comitted to my collage art. I was recently chosen to be a member of the Design Team at Stamp and Scrap Canada and have also submitted some work for publication. This will be an exciting year for me!

If you care to join me and read about my collage art and decorating our WWI era house along with the knitting please join me on my new blog.

Here we have the Feather & Fan socks (somewhat modified) from the book Socks, Socks, Socks. I used Regia Bamboo and they are wonderfully soft.

I just can't seem to survive without a pair of socks on the needles. So here we have the next pair which are super fun to knit.

Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1162576346528059772006-11-03T10:45:00.000-07:002006-11-03T17:06:45.870-07:00Still HereWow, I haven't posted in a while! Things have been pretty hectic around here lately and I haven't been knitting as much as usual. I am still knitting, though. I have been pretty much working exclusively on the Poppy Shawl (see previous entry) and am on the 11th row of 17 rows of poppies. I'm still enjoying it as much as when I started though the rows are enormously long now and I'm at a point where I need to move up to a longer needle. However, I am using the longest needle I have so will have to go buy a new (longer) circ. This will entail a trip to the city so it may be a bit before I can get out and get one.

In the meantime, a few days ago I cast on for a new sock. This will be my November entry for the SAM2. I am doing a basic Feather & Fan sock with Regia Bamboo. There is something about this F&F pattern (from the book Socks, Socks, Socks) that just practically knits itself. I am almost at the toe of the first sock. The Bamboo yarn is delicious, a joy to knit with and a joy to touch. It's one of those yarns where you just have to keep picking up your knitting to caress the yarn!Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1160508165146799602006-10-10T13:11:00.000-06:002006-12-03T23:12:21.500-07:00Leafy Lace Socks

My October SAM2 socks are finished! These are from a kit from the sotmc from a few months back. Cascade Fixation and pattern by Rebecca Perry. The ribbing on the first sock is a bit too loose as I was getting used to knitting with the elastic but once I figured it out it was fine. These are nice huggable socks. I love socks that hug and will definately use this yarn again.Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1160079284765563742006-10-05T14:00:00.000-06:002006-10-22T07:29:10.920-06:00Blanket and a Shawl

The mitred blanket is finished! This one took quite a while to make simply because I was taking my time with it. Just knit a bit here and there but have been working on it like crazy this past week. The colours are not quite so bright as they appear in the picture.

Thanks to Aimee in the comments I've decided the mohair is a bulky yarn and still don't know what I'll be knitting with it. The search for a pattern continues.

The Fixation socks continue in progress. I am just about to start the gussets. I'm working both socks at once on dpns. I'm really enjoying this yarn. At first I was unsure how to work with the elasticity worrying about my tension but finally figured out to just knit like normal and all is well.

Now for a sneak peak at my current project. When I posted my last blog entry I was just about to cast on for this but didn't want to mention it in case it didn't work out. This is something I have wanted to knit since ... well ... forever. When I sorted out my stash the other week I decided to finally take the plunge and I am hooked on this baby! Here we have the start of the Poppy Shawl by Kaffe Fassett. I'm at the part now where I have to chart the pattern out myself to get the poppies lined up properly. I'm working with an assortment of sport weight/ light dk yarns in a multitude of textures and fibres. This is one of those things that will look better after blocking but man, I'm loving it!

Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1159733865193950602006-10-01T14:08:00.000-06:002006-10-01T19:54:34.416-06:00Socktoberfest & Stash OverhaulFirst order of business is socks! I am currently knitting these socks from a sotmc kit from a few months back. These will be my Socktoberfest socks and my October Sock a month socks. Nothing like doing double duty with your kals!

I have been knitting almost exclusively on the mitred blanket this last week. I realized I was almost finished so decided to get a move on with this. I have two more sides to complete then I'll have finished pics to show!

I spent this last week doing something stupid useful. I reorganized my stash. I sorted out by weight and purpose. I thought that doing this might actually reduce the number of boxes of stash but in the end I had one more box than I started with!

I made boxes for each weight of yarn and then separated the sock worthy yarn into separate boxes for both sock weight and sport weight. I also sorted out the 100% wool worsted and cotton (regardless of weight) into separate boxes. Whether this will be helpful or not is doubtful but I feel a little less overwhelmed than before I started.

So, what have I pulled out of the stash to knit next? you ask. Another blast from the past with this:

Scheepjeswol Mohair Ombre. A lovely variegated colour of medium and light tans and grey. 67% Mohair, 28% Wool, 5% Nylon. I have 9 full balls and an extra 20 grams. Making 470 grams or 376 metres. Recommended needles are size 6 or 7. But I am wondering, since all the info on the ball band is metric do they mean 6mm/7mm or the old UK sizes 6/7 which would be 4.5mm/5mm. The yarn strand itself is very thin, about a fingering weight, then it has a huge halo making it fluffy and thick. What do you think? I've never knit with mohair before.

So, once I know what needles to use with this the big question is what the heck should I knit with it all? Would it work for a shawl? Other than the feather & fan shawls I've done I have never knit a large lace shawl and I would love to take one on. Pattern suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1159561251011431482006-09-29T14:19:00.000-06:002006-11-10T09:00:15.710-07:00When Knitting Becomes an ObsessionIf you haven't seen this already.

First up are the Retro Rib socks by Evelyn A. Clark from Interweave Knits Winter 2004. The contrast colour is the leftover Trekking XXL from the Unsts and the main yarn is some thrifted wool Patons Azalea which seems to be quite ancient. A lovely yarn to knit with, it is pure new wool from Australia. Pretty much knit to pattern with the exception of the added contrast colour and I knit my standard star toe.

Next up we have the fingerless mitts on page 7 of the Fall 2005 Interweave Knits, using the Patons Siberia from stash. Again I really enjoyed this yarn and these are nice and soft. This was knit to pattern with the exception that it called for 6 mm needles and I only had 5.5 and 6.5 dpns so I went with the 5.5 mm. They only used 60 gr of yarn so I had plenty.

And finally we have a Lacy Summer Purse (PDF FILE) using the blue ball of Patons Cotton Sahara. This yarn gave me headache trying to figure out what to knit with it. I started knitting a dishcloth but I really like this yarn and it seemed too nice to knit a dishcloth with. I mean this stuff is old and I may never get my hands on some again so I wanted to make something "nice". Know what I mean? Finally settled on this pattern and this is such a cute little bag! It would make a perfect gift bag. It took pretty much the whole the ball of yarn with just enough left that I didn't hyperventilate about running out!

I now have one and a half balls of the peach Cotton Sahara left and I am going to knit this bag again with it only I am going to try substituting the mesh pattern from itsy-bitsy. Now I am going to go get a few more balls out of the box to see what I'll be knitting with next.Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1158780070913409792006-09-20T13:08:00.000-06:002006-09-21T13:56:06.846-06:00Itsy BitsyI feel like I'm on a roll here! Knitting is just flying off the needles. Here we have the itsy bitsy bag finished.

I just love this thing! Here it is holding the current knitting yarn and "what is that peeking out?" you ask. That is one of the fingerless mitts already finished! I can imagine knitting this bag over and over. I have to tell you, though, it was not fun to knit. The herringbone stitches used are extremely fiddly. I had to employ an extra finger while knitting and it slowed me down considerably, but it was definately worth it. And practice does make perfect. I see this in the future and may be changing my mind about making dishcloths with the Patons Cotton Sahara. This bag used 70 grams of the Wendy Capri. So I do have some left.

As mentioned, I have one fingerless mitt finished and am working on the second one. The retro rib socks are coming along, I've finished the foot of one and am plodding along on the second foot.Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1158507202165941382006-09-17T09:24:00.000-06:002006-09-20T10:54:54.940-06:00Decisions Have Been MadeThanks for all the suggestions everyone! I've decided on patterns for these three yarns.

First up the Wendy Capri. After one false start knitting with this I realized it was more of a worsted weight than dk and decided upon the itsy-bitsy mesh bag pattery from Knitty. I'm more than half-way finished and just about ready to start the second ball so feeling good knowing I'll have enough yarn. This yarn is working perfectly and I really like it. Here's the progress pic.

Next on the list was the Patons Siberia. sparkli suggested the My So Called Scarf pattern. I haven't knit that before and took a look at the pattern, which is gorgeous! But after good consideration, this yarn is just too fluffy and nubby for the pattern stitch to show up well. So I went hunting online for a pattern, then I remembered a pattern from an Interweave Knits issue and have decided upon these fingerless mitts. They call for 100 gr and I only have 80 gr, but I've made full sized mittens with 100 gr of chunky yarn so I should be ok and I'm going to make them a bit shorter than the pattern calls for anyway so I think we'll be good. This is on page 7 of the Fall 2005 issue.

And finally the Patons Cotton Sahara, which, yes, has been mellowing for quite some time! christy j logically suggested a pillow top since it would match my living room. After looking though some pillow patterns I just couldn't see this cotton, nubby yarn as any of them! More thinking and came up with the equation: Cotton Yarn = Dishcloth. I think this cotton/nylon blend might actually make a very nice dishcloth, give it a bit more scrubbing power than a 100% cotton. Now the colours are way off for my kitchen so I'll gift these for Christmas. I should get a couple of cloths (maybe three?) from this yarn. Now I'll be haunting this list of dishcloth patterns.

PS - I am still working on the Retro Rib socks. I'm working the feet now.

Next blog post should some FO's and when I've knit this batch of yarn up I'll post the next selection of yarn from the box. So get your thinking caps ready to help me again!Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1158178137040739122006-09-13T13:35:00.000-06:002006-09-23T15:17:54.653-06:00And Now for Something Completely DifferentI am taking a new direction in this blog. I have a purpose!

I have a huge stash which I actually have not really added to in quite some time. A few odd balls here and there and some thrifted yarn but no big yarn purchases for a couple of months now.

So here is my purpose for this blog. I am going to knit up my stash! My stash is quite large and contains everything from 100% acrylics to 100% wool with everything inbetween. Nice yarn and not so nice yarn. Yarn I haven't knitted because it's too nice, yarn I haven't knitted because I don't know what to knit with it. I have an incredible amount of odd balls that just sit around and seem to multiply.

Now, I'm not saying I won't buy yarn anymore but I am going to knit from the stash on a regular basis.

What stash you ask? This stash:

Bottom of closet

Top of closet

Now, it may not look like a lot to some of you but trust me those boxes are big and absolutely stuffed full of yarn. Some of the boxes only close properly because of the boxes sitting on top of them!

Starting off this stash-busting project we have the first box, which was not included in the above pictures. This box is only half full.

First Goal of The Stash Project: Knit up this box of yarn.

But I need your help. This box is full of odd balls and I have a hard time thinking of small items to knit with odd balls. Please give me your input! Here are the first balls I've moved to my knitting basket. What should I knit with them?

1) Wendy Capri - 2 - 50 gr balls - no yardage - double knitting - 51% cotton/49% acrylic - colour is cream/off white

2) Patons Cotton Sahara - 50 gr blue, 75 gr peach - 115 yds per 50 gr - worsted weight - 89% cotton/11% nylon - as a note these colours match my living room.

3) Patons Siberia - 80 gr multi kind of burgundy and grey - no yardage - chunky weight - 77.5% acrylic/12% cotton/8.5% mohair/2% nylon

Any ideas?Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1157918754694811032006-09-10T13:54:00.000-06:002006-09-14T14:05:58.020-06:00Feather & Fan Comfort Shawl
I finally got around to taking a photo of the shawl I finished a bit ago.

Here is the feather and fan comfort shawl

Now, other than the continuing mitre blanket, I am currently working on the retro rib socks from Interweave Knits. Finally. I've wanted to knit these since I got that issue and every time I see them posted on someone's blog. I'm almost at the heels.Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1157413676939261532006-09-04T17:46:00.000-06:002006-09-07T06:26:58.030-06:00We Will Miss YouNikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1157212313100667882006-09-02T09:44:00.000-06:002006-09-10T22:28:28.793-06:00Wicker BasketAs I was working on the red/purple socks below the August sock of the month kit arrived. As soon as I opened it I knew I would be casting on the for these socks the second I was finished. And I did, they practically flew off the needles taking 3 days to complete. I love them!

Wicker Basket Sport Socks by Wooliedi. Yarn is Wick by Knit One Crochet Too which is soy. I've never used soy yarn before and it is wonderful!

P.S. - I finished the shawl last night! So more pics coming soon!Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1156954783184186572006-08-30T10:14:00.000-06:002006-08-31T19:48:25.036-06:00More SocksHere is the promised FO!

These socks started out as the Lavender Lace Socks by Evelyn Clark in the book Vogue Knitting on the Go Socks Two but I made a lot of changes. Practically everything actually! But I did use the horseshoe lace pattern on the leg. The yarn used for the red is a vintage yarn: Mary Maxim 3ply 90% wool 10% nylon and was beautiful to knit with. Unsure as to what the purple yarns are but they are both the same brand and 100% wool.

I have another FO on the blockers right now and will post again soon!Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1156352480082198592006-08-23T10:56:00.000-06:002006-08-23T11:01:20.106-06:00Checking InI haven't blogged in a bit so I'm checking in! I don't have any pics today as all my knitting is wips at the moment. I haven't been blogging but I am knitting. On the needles as of right now are:

1) the brown mitred blanket. Was working on it pretty regularly as tv knitting while doing the Unst socks but taking a bit of break right now.

2) started and am almost finished another feather and fan comfort shawl. I made two of these last year and wore them constantly last winter so feel another one is definatley needed.

3) working on the gussets of another pair of socks. Started working from a pattern but have modified it so much they really aren't the same as the original pattern anymore.

Next blog post should show a FO of either item #2 or #3.Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1155321337312767372006-08-11T12:29:00.000-06:002006-08-30T18:53:15.866-06:00We Have UnstFinished my socks for the "Knitting on the Road" kal. These are Unst by Nancy Bush with some modification.

I knit the leg on #2 then switched to #1s for the heel and foot. I do not like holey feet so I did not carry the pattern down the foot, instead I continued in a rib pattern p1,k5,p1,k7. Yarn Trekking XXL. This yarn has a very long pattern repeat, it didn't start to repeat until I was 2" into the second sock ! and not an exact repeat either.

Currently on the needles: continuing to work on the miter (mitre) squares blanket and starting to look for a new sock to knit.Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1154378303914393802006-07-31T14:28:00.000-06:002006-08-10T05:49:59.880-06:00Currently On and Off the NeedlesOff the Needles

Two more hats using up the colours from the previous ones. This is based on the 76 stitch hat from an older issue of interweave knits.

On the Needles

And as promised the sneak peak of the next mitred blanket I'm working on. I really love how this is turning out! The colours are a bit washed out in the photo but you get the idea.

Today the winner was announced for the next sock we will be knitting in the "Knitting on the Road" kal. I think I'm starting to miss the sock knitting as I cast on for it right away!

I think any knitter worth their salt knows what yarn that is!

And that is all she wrote folks!Nikki in Niagarahttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1153768010540100482006-07-24T13:06:00.000-06:002006-07-29T11:39:25.463-06:00She Who Likes To Knit HatsCouple of more hats off the needles this week!

First a mosaic pattern that took me a week to knit. I don't know, mosaic is tooted as the easy alternative to stranded knitting but I am so slow with mosaic patterns and much prefer stranded. I like the look of mosaics though.

Then knit much faster (2.5 days!) is this stranded hat. At first I wasn't too sure about the pattern band (it seemed too busy) but the more I look at it the more I like it. I really like the colours here. I'm using up odd balls for these hats and it is forcing me to find colour combos that wouldn't normally come to me. Pink, brown, yellow, gold and blue!

And I have started working on the next mitred (mitered) blanket with the butterscotch yarn and am loving it! Will get a sneak peek photo for you some time soon.Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1152810952983721662006-07-13T11:10:00.000-06:002006-07-16T16:08:24.453-06:00Another BlanketYeah!! I finished the blanket. This was total random using my scraps and black as the main colour. Haven't measured it but it is quite big. Hanging on my fence it looks a little crooked but it really lays perfectly flat. So, I'm already planning the next one using an old 60/40 wool/acrylic nubby yarn from my stash, a delicious butterscotch colour. This will be a little more planned as I'll only use scraps that go with the MC (both co-ordinating and contrast colours). I've already got something in mind for the next black scrap one, too. It won't be squares next time, if my plan works out. We'll see. But in the meantime I've started another hat and feel another hat binge coming on.

But first knitting news. After the hat bonanza last week I figured I better get this black mitre blanket finished before I do anymore so I've been working away on it. I'm on the final rotation of squares and have 2 of the four sides finished. Next post should see a FO pic!

In the front some hat pattern booklets. The hardcover book is "The Big Book of Knitting" 1948 and in the back is a really cool automatic i-cord knitter!

I think I have a little problem. What do you think?

I can't stop knitting these things!! I just love going round and round and round. And the great thing about hats compared to socks is ... you only have to knit one!Nikki in Niagarahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946765.post-1151515139376856272006-06-28T10:53:00.000-06:002006-06-30T09:33:39.063-06:00Friday's Finds, Knitting and MoreWell, this week I didn't do much thrifting at all. I did pop into an antique/junk store and managed to pick this up. 1937 woman's magazine has lots of cool images and ads plus some knitting patterns; and two old postcards

All was not lost though as I managed to get a couple of real good deals on ebay this week. A lot of vintage birthday cards and a lot of old photographs.

Some of you were quite interested in the altered puzzles I was participating in and with the move and all I never got a chance to post pictures but I have received three completed puzzles now. Each piece was altered by a different artist, I haven't completed the frames yet but have to share how wonderful these are. Click on the images to see larger.

And finally, Yes, I do knit! I'm still working on a mitred blanket. This will be my third one this year, as you may remember I decided to see how many I could make this year. I'm getting ready to finish it, I have to buy another ball of black then I'm going to do the final finishing round. I'm getting a bit tired of it and besides I have 7 balls of a butterscotch coloured yarn that I'm anxious to use as the main colour for the next one.

Also started a new project and will leave you with a little teaser of the WIP.

Sometimes I score big, others nothing, and a lot of in-between. I'm going to start sharing my finds on Fridays.

These all came fron one visit to a Goodwill, one evening this week.

Don't ask me why but I started knitting some munstersockens for myself using odd bits of leftover sock yarn and before I knew it they decided to fingerless mitts instead. I love them.

Pattern: just made it up as I went along
Yarn: leftover sock yarn

On a rainy Tuesday in late November, just a few weeks after the end of the 2014 olive harvest, I had the opportunity to spend a day with the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), Equal Exchange's olive oil partner in Palestine. I've visited a Fair Trade coffee co-op and have learned about many others during my four years at Equal Exchange, but on this visit, I was struck by how embedded olive farming and olive oil production are in every aspect of Palestinian culture. Unlike coffee, tea, and cacao, which were imported to many producer countries as commodity crops under colonial regimes, olive oil production is a centuries-long tradition for people in this region.

If you've been following my obsession with my alma mater, Gonzaga, you can ascertain that I had a fantastic weekend. Not only did I fulfill my plans of not leaving the house/putting on pants between Friday evening and Monday morning, my cherished Bulldogs made it to the big game tonight. So while I have no complaints about this weekend, there are definitely some people that do…
Tiger Woods
Remember 20 years ago, when Tiger Woods won his first of his four green jackets? Well, you won't be seeing a repeat this year, as that Woods announced this weekend that he will be missing third Masters in the last four years.
In a post on his website, Woods said that while he will attend the Champions Dinner on Tuesday night, he won't be playing:
Unfortunately, I won't be competing in this year's Masterss. I did about everything I could to play, but my back rehabilitation didn't allow me the time to get tournament ready. I'm especially upset because it's a special anniversary for me that's filled with a lot of great memories. I can't believe it's been 20 years since I won my first green jacket.
Tiger missed all of the 2015-16 season following two back surgeries, and only returned to play in December at the Hero World Challenge. He had be hoping to play at Augusta this year, but ultimately decided he just wasn't ready.
Maybe next year? [Via ESPN]
Pornhub Users
Lots of companies played April Fool's pranks on their customers, but none was so harsh as the one that Pornhub dropped on their users Saturday.
The porn site displayed this popup after users clicked on the porn of their choosing:
I don't know who in the hell clicked "Thanks Pornhub!" but those that clicked on the "WTF" button were greeted with a message saying "Happy April Fools! Don't worry your browsing is always safe and secure, we are fully encrypted using HTTPS protocols."
No report on how many heart attacks were caused by this cruel, cruel joke. [Via Cosmopolitan]
You'd think that with the number one movie at the box office for the weekend, the folks at Dreamworks would have had a pretty good weekend. But while it's true that The Boss Baby brought in $49 million this weekend, it wasn't enough to cover the giant hit they took on their other new release this weekend.
The studio was also behind Ghost In A Shell, the live-action retelling of the popular Japanese manga. The film, starring Scarlett Johansson cost $110 million to make, but it only earned $19 million over the weekend, meaning it's currently running at a deficit of $81 million.
Ain't enough boss babies in the world to make up for that. [Via Business Insider]
Not nearly enough attention is paid to the UConn's women's basketball team, which has been ridiculously dominant for the last four years. Unfortunately for them, the attention comes as their hopes for a fifth straight title were dashed on Friday by Mississippi State in the semi-final game of the women's final four.
The Huskies haven't lost since Nov. 17, 2014, when Stanford beat them in overtime. That's an 865 day/111 game winning streak that was snapped with a buzzer beater in overtime by the Bulldog's Morgan William, perhaps avenging last year's Sweet Sixteen game that saw UConn beating Mississippi State by 60 points.
William reflected on the moment, saying "I live for moments like this. UConn, they're an incredible team. For me to make that shot against them, it's unbelievable. I'm still in shock right now. I wanted to take the shot. I wanted to take the shot and I made it."
Good for William, bad for UConn. But congrats to the Bulldogs! [Via New York Daily News]
South Carolina and Oregon
My boss is sad that his Ducks lost in the final four…but he also told me not to come in tomorrow so I can watch my beloved Gonzaga in the NCAA men's basketball championship game tonight. So sorry not sorry Gamecocks…and while I'm a little sorry about Oregon, I'm still not coming in tomorrow. #GoZags.

The poll is up. Polling will continue until midnight GMT Monday, August 26th. Best of luck to us all, gentlemen.
Claghorn and Butler. But I am starting to think that Butler should just do an exhibition out-of-competition.
HoldFast, TWD, and Butler got my votes. Awesome!
You got a vote! I've had goose eggs on several competitions. =oP
Claghorn / Holdfast.

Sixth Grade
Christopher's Curriculum: A Guide to 6th Grade
After the light-filled grace of 11 years of age, 12-year-olds seem heavy, sullen and earth-bound. When looking at a group of 11-year-olds and 12-year-olds one is struck by the beauty in proportion of the former, and the sudden gangliness and heaviness of the latter children.
The 6th grade Waldorf curriculum speaks to the earthiness, the materialism, of 12-year-old children by emphasizing Roman history, physics, business math, geology and the beginnings of logical thought in disciplines such as geometry.
The pragmatism of the Romans finds echo in the 6th grader's soul. And her budding powers of thought are stretched by a rigorous and disciplined approach to subjects such as science. The material world is studied, both in terms of geology and physics. A main lesson in mechanics is also appropriate during this time.
Here is a list of our Sixth Grade materials:
Rough Guide to Sixth Grade: Click to add the downloadable guide to your cart.
Scroll down to browse our selection of publications for 6th grade.
Sixth Grade Checklist: Click to print out a 6th Grade Checklist in PDF format.
Christopherus Amazon Store: Please visit our Amazon Store for a wide selection of suggested titles for middle grades students in science, math, history, literature and more. We add new titles regularly!
Putting it all Together
Our Waldorf Curriculum Overview and From Nature Stories to Natural Science are essential guides for Waldorf at home, as are Learning About the World Through Modeling and Painting in Waldorf Education. And of course the Sixth Grade Audio download is also crucial.
Our Roman History Bundle is necessary for your Roman history main lesson.
It is probably best if you work your way through medieval history in 6th grade as the goal is to get to modern times in 8th grade – and that's a lot of history to cover! But, many people leave the Middle Ages until 7th grade. If you do purchase our Medieval History, be sure to get the companion volume on Geometric Designs from Islamic Art and Architecture, similar to the volume mentioned above. Make sure your approach is artistic and hands-on!
A good resource for your Medieval history narrative is Charles Kovacs' The Age of Discovery. This book will also be important for 7th grade history.
For science this year, we offer two main lessons in physics, the first on the phenomena of heat, sound, color and light; the second on simple machines. See our Physics for more information.
As of Fall 2017, we will also have Earth Science, a holistic resource for exploring geology, the ocean and biomes.
The main focus in math this year is business math. We are pleased to offer Ernst Schuberth's fine book, Mathematic Lessons for Sixth Grade written for Waldorf teachers, on this subject.
To support your child's work with business math (fractions, decimals and percents) we urge you to purchase relevant workbooks from Key To. Read our comprehensive guide to Key To books for grades 6-8. If you did not use our 5th Grade Curriculum or are behind, please consider the Key To books we carry as part of our 5th Grade Math Bundle.
In 5th grade your child created many beautiful geometric designs either freehand or using a straightedge. This year's geometry requires a compass and the work focuses on constructions. Beauty is, of course, never forfeited, and we offer a book on Compass Drawings for your use. Check the Key To guide mentioned above for recommendations for geometry workbooks.
In 5th Grade, the book, String, Straightedge, and Shadow formed an important part of geometry lessons. It continues to be required in 6th grade as the lessons on the Pythagorean theorem are vital – and Julia Diggins does a first rate job in presenting a living picture of Pythagoras and his work.

People often think that creating and maintaining these systems must be extremely complex activities — the domain of database gurus who possess enlightenment beyond that of mere mortals. This book sweeps away the database mystique. In this book, you
- Get to the roots of databases.
- Find out how a DBMS is structured.
- Discover the major functional components of SQL.
- Build a database.
- Protect a database from harm.
- Operate on database data.
- Determine how to get the information you want out of a database.
The purpose of this book is to help you build relational databases and get valuable information out of them by using SQL. SQL is the international standard language used to create and maintain relational databases. This edition covers the latest version of the standard, SQL:2011.
This book doesn't tell you how to design a database (I do that in Database Development For Dummies, also published by Wiley). Here I assume that you or somebody else has already created a valid design. I then illustrate how you implement that design by using SQL. If you suspect that you don't have a good database design, then — by all means — fix your design before you try to build the database. The earlier you detect and correct problems in a development project, the cheaper the corrections will be.
Who Should Read This Book?
If you need to store or retrieve data from a DBMS, you can do a much better job with a working knowledge of SQL. You don't need to be a programmer to use SQL, and you don't need to know programming languages, such as Java, C, or BASIC. SQL's syntax is like that of English.
If you are a programmer, you can incorporate SQL into your programs. SQL adds powerful data manipulation and retrieval capabilities to conventional languages. This book tells you what you need to know to use SQL's rich assortment of tools and features inside your programs.
