Review: Tinea Kombat Knife
Posted by Roger Norling | Jun 29, 2014 | Knives, Reviews | 0 |
Today we are going to look closer at a fairly new modern Italian-design combat knife that not so many have heard of yet, a knife that due to its design, quality and price certainly deserves more attention. This is the Tinea Kombat Knife, designed by M° Danilo Rossi Lajolo di Cossano and Frank Beltrame of the famous Italian cuttler town Maniago.
Fratelli Beltrame F&C
Beltrame Cutlers was founded after WW2 by Vittorio Beltrame in Maniago, Italy. His father too was a blacksmith and had made sailor and multi-purpose knives, commissioned by various companies. Vittorio had a son in 1941 and named him Francesco, today more commonly known as Frank. Frank started working in the company in 1958, after having studied basic metallurgy and knife making at the Professional Institute of Maniago, thus starting his proper apprenticeship while learning from his father Ivano and uncles. Also in 1958/59 Beltrame Cutlers presented their first design of a Stii (as the stilettos are still called in Maniago1. Frank fell in love with the knife type and has mostly stuck with it since.
After the death of his father in 1969, Frank founded Fratelli Beltram F&C, a now internationally well-known quality stiletto brand and Frank himself is today a world-renowned stiletto maker, still working in Maniago, Italy.
In 1996 Frank's daughter Sara and his son Ivano also joined the company, with Ivano and Frank working together on designing and manufacturing the knives. Together they keep working on preserving the traditions while also improving on their designs, introducing quite modern Italian stilettos to the world.
M° Danilo Rossi Lajolo di Cossano
M° Danilo Rossi Lajolo di Cossano is a renowned martial artist focusing on the traditional Italian martial arts, primarily knife, but also beidana (Italian machete) and bastone (short staff) and improvised weapons such as straight razor, scissors, jacket, hat and belt.
He was born in Turin in 1974 as the son and nephew of the counts of Lajolo di Cossano of Piedmont, thus belonging to the House of Lajolo of the Guelph and Ghibellines.
He started practicing martial arts at young age, only six years old, studying judo and karate and since 2003 he is also a certified instructor of Jeet Kune Do, Kali Arnis Escrima and also Pencak Silat Maltese. However, it is not for practicing these martial arts that he is most known.
While still a child, his uncle, Count Clemente Lajolo di Cossano, persuaded him to study their family's martial arts tradition, Pizzica Pugliese (not just a sword dance as commonly believed), and Scherma di colltello Gitana e Barabba Piemontesi.

For some 15 years he then travelled the various regions of Italy and learned more of the traditional regional styles. His teacher Count Clemente sadly died in 1993, but M° Rossi continued his diligent studies, training and research into the Italian martial arts traditions.

In 2007 he created the World Calix Academy to promote and help spread the Italian arts. This academy now has representatives in Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Australia, USA, Spain and England. In 2010 M° Rossi also taught Italian Knife at the historical fencing event Swordfish in Gothenburg, Sweden, and he keeps travelling the world to teach the arts, both to martial artists and professionals in need of training knife combat.
Outside of his research in the Italian martial arts traditions he also worked as a specialist and expert in personal protection and security for executives and even some celebrities like Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Viggo Mortensen, Matt Damon and many others. He has also often acted as head of event security for Hollywood movie premieres and other special events taking place in Italy.
Tradition meets the future
In 2009 Frank Beltrame together with his son Ivano and M° Rossi designed a new knife, the Tinea. This new knife is a clear step away from Fratelli Beltrame' F&Cs other knives, the stilettos, in that it is a fixed blade knife.
The primary function of it is purely combat and not a dual function of combat / utility (such as the "KA-BAR"). However, this sharp and sturdy knife can certainly be used for such purposes too, to some degree.
The Bullo & Er Tinèa
The knife has been named after the 19th cent Roman folk hero from Trastevere named Romeo "Er Tinèa" Ottaviani – a bouncer, tough guy and "bullo".
Romeo "Er Tinèa" Ottaviano
In contrast to what the term bullo might imply for the English speaking, the bullo weren't considered as proper criminals or thugs but often as heroes, as protectors of the poor, the weak and the oppressed in late 19th and early 20th century, a time of widespread violence and banditry, partly resulting from conflicts with the French supported by the British. As an example, reports from 1797 indicate 3-4 people being stabbed to death every day, this in a city of less than 150,000 people.
Meanwhile the police, the sbirro, were individually tied to one of the great many small jurisdictions of a highly complex and rather ineffective judicial system, and hardly distinguishable from the thugs or criminals which they were employed to pursue, with quite a few being more or less corrupt.
In this violent context some men were considered more honourable and upright than others; the bulli. They were often considered, by themselves and others, as true heirs of Ancient Rome through the Sangue d'Inea, the bloodline of the Trojan war hero Aeneas, the mythological founder of Rome, from which Romeo's nickname "Tinèa" is said to have been derived.
Bulli could be found in all classes, but especially in the popular classes in the districts, the rione, of Trastevere and Monti. The style and conduct of the bulli was quite well defined in that he was
…a big, violent, dashing, athletic, arrogant, courageous, imposing, generous, swaggering young man, touchy about his honour, a man of his word, vain about his looks and his outfits, irresistible to women and given to acting before thinking. He was the winner of the race, the best fighter, dancer, gambler, drinker. A man defined by status, but not money; an individual, not a gang member.2
The bulli of Monti and Trastevere regularly fought ritual battles, sassolate, fought in the Forum and using slingshots and rocks, fights which commonly led to quite bad injuries and even the occassional death, but which were also popular spectacles. Many of the bulli also fought in the resistance against the French, alongside of papal police and gendarmerie.
Men fighting with knives in Trastevere, with their left side protected by their jackets. From Bartolomeo Pinelli's "Lite di Trasteverini" Costumi di Roma edition, 1815
The bulli are said to have trained their own martial arts in their regional "schools", using slingshots and knives with blades wrapped in cord so that only the tip was sticking out, leaving only light cuts on the training partner's body. Similar martial arts traditions existed all over Italy and it is these traditions that M° Rossi is seeking to learn, document and preserve.
Other known bullo are e.g. "er Carcina" of Monti and his son "Er Paranza", "Er Panzella" also of Monti, Flora la Sfreggiata (a woman!), Romoletto "er Matta", Duilio "il Grande Rabbino" of Ponte and Angelo "Ciceruacchio" Brunetti, but Er Tinèa is clearly the most famous bullo of them all.3 He is known for having stood up against thugs and criminals to protect victims many times and was quite famous for it, so much that his presence and reputation alone would often calm people and stop brawls. With time he even earned the respect of local leaders and police and his house at Piazza Dè Renzi was often visited by people seeking justice and protection. He became so well-known that his actions were regularly reported even in contemporary newspapers and he was considered a legitimate leader of all bulli, mediating on conflicts between the different groups and districts.
Er Tinèa died on April 6 1910, having been stabbed in the back on Via del Moro by a small hunchback called Sebastian "Carnacciaro"4 Sartoretto. All Roman bulli as well as many local leaders and police joined his funeral parade through Rome with pretty much all of Trastevere following the parade, curious to see the bulli honouring their hero5. The knife thus takes its name from him, in his honour.
With that we leave the background history and instead turn to look closer at the actual knife.

Box & packaging
The box, the foam cut-out and the signed certificate
I normally don't comment much on the packaging but in this case I will, since it is relevant if you consider giving this knife as a gift to someone and in that context the box and opening it is part of the first experience of the knife.
Simply put, the box is beautifully designed, and not only that, it is also cleverly designed so you can present the actual knife nicely as a gift with a nice dark-grey, high-density foam that has a prepared cutout for the knife.
The box itself is matte black, made out of quality cardboard and with text and details in silver metallic. It is closed with a black plastic string threaded through holes in the two lids and when opened you first face the foam into which the knife can be placed for nice display. Removing that you find another cover which holds the knife and sheath in place during transport.
Included is also a certificate personally signed by M° Danilo Rossi Lajolo di Cossano himself.
Grip & Hilt
The blade, finger guard and tang forms one single solid piece of steel and the extremely sturdy finger guard is shaped so that it curves inwards towards the hand, similarly to a Swiss baselard. The grip consists of two pieces secured to the sides of the tang with hex nuts. The grip partially covers the narrower sides of the tang causing it to look thinner than it really is (it is as wide as the blade; 6mm).
The grip pieces are made out of a fibre glass composite called G10, quite similar to micarta so commonly used with knives of other high-end brands. G10, however, uses laminated fibre glass instead of canvas or linen, similarly soaked in epoxy resin and then shaped into form and given a checkered pattern for extra friction. G10 is both lightweight, durable, extremely tough and offers great friction even when wet, thus providing excellent grip. And it doesn't expand or shrink depending on temperature, which is a good feature for the longevity of the knife.
Since the grip is secured with hex nuts, this also means it can be easily replaced with custom made grips.
The forward part of the grip pieces are curved to naturally follow the thumb, meaning you can let your thumb rest comfortably there. The square angles of the finger guard however, will chafe your thumb in particular if you grip the knife near the guard and use it for extended periods of time.
The grip has no pommel and instead ends with the tang sticking out with a hook-like shape pierced with a hole for a lanyard.
Blade & Tang
As expected of this type of knife, it is full tang with a 16.5cm/6.5in blade. The blade is 6mm/0.2in wide and has a somewhat leaf-like shape, almost like a mini-"smatchet", and a double-bevel edge that is delivered sharp enough to slice through paper, but not razor sharp and comparing to e.g. Fällkniven knives, it is not delivered as sharp. That of course can be easily fixed using a ceramic or diamond sharpener. A regular stone will have little effect on this steel. If you feel insecure with sharpening, then you can just use a sharpener like an Accusharp, but be aware that such sharpeners give an edge of 20 degrees, which makes the edge very sharp, but also less durable. Of course learning to sharpen your knives properly is better, but the results from the above will do well enough for most things.
Speaking of which, the N690 steel is interesting. I hadn't seen this before, but reading up on it a lot of people comment on the virtues of it, describing it as very good, similar to VG10 and quite common in Italy, although I believe it is Austrian in origin6. It is hardened to HRC 58 which puts it just underneath a D2 KA-BAR, and looking at the durability test performed by M° Rossi himself (see below) it certainly seems extremely durable and capable of retaining a good edge even with some serious abuse.
The steel is stainless, which of course doesn't guarantee that it won't rust since all steel rusts if you don't treat it properly. It won't rust easily though, particularly since it is also further rust protected by black teflon.
The back of the blade also has a curved hook to catch the opponent's blade with. How useable that is of course depends on your combat training… and I would assume a great deal of luck.
For utility use the knife is not too big nor too small for most uses, but the particular blade design doesn't lend itself to e.g. batoning wood.
The cordura sheath that comes with the knife is quite nice. It is a bit unusual in that it consists of two pieces of cordura glued and sewn onto a U-shaped rubber frame which completely surrounds the edge side. On the edge side, the rubber is approximately 1cm thick. Inside of the cordura pieces of plastic are stitched on to further reinforce and provide stability to the sheath. The sheath extends about 3cm below the point of the knife securing that the point will not wear through the sheath.
Sides and inside of sheath with the plastic inserts and D-rings visible. The string from the box has been added to the buttoned strap locking the knife in place, for ease of opening
It isn't M.O.L.L.E compatible, but comes with enough loops to enable you to carry it either horisontally or vertically on your belt. It also has D-loops at both ends so it can be attached to various carrying systems but also comes with its own chest rig. It doesn't actually come with a loop for hanging the sheath off your belt though, instead intended to be used primarily with the chest rig. However you can thread your belt through one of the loops on the back side of the sheath, although that will place the knife rather high on your hip, or you can add a loop of your own and fasten it to the upper D-ring.
Finally, the sheath is also padded for comfort when wearing and has a small pocket for carrying e.g. a small field sharpener or fire steel.
The knife is just wonderfully balanced with a quite distinct presence and while it can be used for other things, it is clearly primarily designed for combat with both stabbing and cutting motions with the latter being quite distinct in the handling. Make no mistake, this is no light cat fight dagger for flicking with the wrist, but a tiger of a knife, designed to do harm, both through stabbing, slicing, cutting and pommeling and the design of the grip puts your wrist at an angle perfect for the above actions. That same angle however, makes it less ideal for carving. It can still be done and quite well, but it isn't perfect for it, which of course is of little concern here.
The somewhat oddly shaped finger guard is more clever than one might think when first looking at it, as it enables you to both thumb the back of the grip & finger guard in a very comfortable way, but also to thumb the back of the blade, as the finger guard follows your thumb naturally.
Thumbing the flat of the blade is of course quite easy. A reversed icepick grip however is not comfortable since the curve of the finger guard causes it to dig into your wrist, regardless of which way the edge is oriented. Depending on your combat style this may affect you to different degrees.
Reversed grips not working quite as well due to the finger guard digging into the wrist
Maintenance & Durability
They say a picture says more than a thousand words, so here is a clip with M° Rossi himself demonstrating the durability of the knife.
The overall finish of the knife is quite impressive and seems near perfect. As the finger guard, tang and blade are all in one piece. the only fitting in to examine are the two G10 pieces screwed onto the tang and they fit nicely and snuggly to the finger guard and the tang.
The durability of the sheath remains to be seen. The plastic on the inside has taken a bit of scratching just from pulling the knife out and putting it back again and I don't think it will last as long as I would like to.
Final comment & price
Although it is primarily a combat knife and thus not intended for daily use, I still think the finger guards should be rounded off a bit to avoid chafing and blisters. The angles of the finger guard are a simply too flat to be comfortable for extended periods of use, at least without gloves.
The lock for securing the knife to the sheath is a bit awkward for me in that it is tricky to get a good grip or leverage on it, especially to open it quickly. It is designed to be flicked open just using the thumb while grabbing the grip of the knife, but the button is quite tight fitting and it doesn't work so well. Perhaps it will get easier with use as the button wears a bit, but a longer or a more rigid flap, perhaps plastic-covered would be easier I think. I have added the loop from the box to it to make it a bit easier.
Likewise I would really have liked to see a removable loop for belt carrying that can be attached to the upper D-ring. It should be very easy to add without adding much to the price. Perhaps also a paracord string where the lower D-ring is attached for securing the sheath to the thigh too.
Personally, I prefer naked steel without black epoxy or teflon coating and I would love to see such a version of the knife too. It really should just simplify the manufacture.
Oh, and an illustration showing how to wear the chest sheath rig would have been nice as it is a bit confusing trying to figure out how to wear it. I figured it out eventually, but a picture would have been nice and would save time.
All the suggestions above are nitpicking though, as everything else about it is quite excellent and seems carefully thought out. The curves of the blade and hilt are quite beautiful while still maintaining a substantially intimidating impression, a thing of clear value in a combat knife as attested even by famous knife fighters like W.E. Fairbairn7. The grip feels just great and the steel/grip quality and hardening should give you a knife that lasts a long time.
I will leave you this time with a great video on the best defense when being attacked by thugs with knives, as provided by M° Rossi.

Flooring King has a clear environmental policy and a clear environmental purchasing policy for wood and wood products. The environmental policy is based on two founding principles: Forests, forest functions and products, including woods, contribute to human well being worldwide. Every country, must value its forests and strive for equity in access to the benefits which forests provide. The ultimate responsibility for forest policy lies with the sovereign Government and people of individual forested countries. They have the task of balancing environmental, economic, social and political needs. Nevertheless, Flooring King believes that the timber industry has a responsibility to its customers, suppliers and staff to base its commercial activities on properly managed forests.
In acknowledging these principles:
Flooring King is committed to sustainable forest management. It promotes efforts to achieve the fastest practicable progress towards environmentally sound permanent forest management worldwide.
Flooring King supports responsible domestic and international efforts which focus attention on the various threats to the world's productive forests.
Flooring King encourages the use of wood as an environmentally acceptable and renewable material and is constantly seeking beneficial ways to reduce wood waste and to utilize residues. In relation to tropical forests Flooring King asks suppliers to show evidence that they and their respective Governments are undertaking practical measures to implement the ITTO Objective 2000; and urges the U.S. Government to maintain and increase aid and other positive assistance to those tropical countries which are endeavoring to implement the ITTO "Guidelines for the Sustainable Management of Natural Tropical Forests."
Flooring King expects to review and extend this policy as deemed necessary.
Purchasing Policy for Wood & Wood Products
Flooring King will seek the clearest practical information regarding product sources. At a minimum, this will include country of origin.
Flooring King will also seek evidence of good practice and forest management from all suppliers of wood products. Labels or certificates warranting sustainability will not be acceptable unless they have the approval of the Forestry Department/Ministry of source countries which have established comprehensive national forestry action plans, or until such time as an internationally acceptable criteria for sustainability is established by a recognized authority.
Flooring King will give preference to suppliers of all wood products from sources providing information on good silviculture and logging practices, and which are operating within the forestry laws of the country concerned. Specifically with respect to tropical wood products, Flooring King will give preference to purchases from countries demonstrating commitment to, and the implementation of, Objective 2000 and implementation of "Guidelines for the Sustainable Management of Natural Tropical Forests," of the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO).
Flooring King subscribes to the evolution of more efficient use of the forest resources and the wood derived from them. In this respect we support concepts of using a wider variety of species when silviculturally and ecologically appropriate and making greater economic and practical use of raw material including residues and waste.
The U.S. Lacey Act
On May 22, 2008, the U.S. Congress passed a law banning commerce in illegally sourced plants and their products – including timber and wood products. The new law is an amendment to a 100-year old statute, named the Lacey Act after the Congressman who first championed it.
The Lacey Act prohibits all trade in plant and plant products (e.g. furniture, flooring, paper or lumber) that are illegally sourced from any U.S. state or any foreign country.
Flooring King only deals with suppliers that are 100% compliant with the Lacey Act.
We exercise due diligence in selecting our suppliers of wood products, ensuring that our suppliers are aligned with our Environmental Policy for Wood. And we exercise significant due care in purchasing wood products from our wood suppliers in accordance with our Purchasing Policy for Wood & Wood Products.
To this end, Flooring King has adopted the due diligence practices for legal wood sourcing developed by the International Wood Products Association Due Diligence Task Force.

New York's new governor plans to create a $200 million public-private fund to support the state's ambitious social equity goals for its projected multibillion-dollar recreational marijuana industry.
The adult-use legislation enacted last year sets a goal of awarding 50% of all licenses to social equity applicants in efforts to build a diverse industry and include communities and individuals impacted by the war on drugs.
But advocates have expressed concerns about how the goals would play out in reality and whether the program would be the game changer it has been professed to be.
Gov. Kathy Hochul attempts to address those concerns in a plan articulated in her 237-page State of the State book released this week.

Cedric the Entertainer and Sonna's Christmas collaboration
(photo courtesy Cedric the Entertainer)
We know Cedric the Entertainer from his current CBS sitcom "The Neighborhood" and from movies like "Barbershop," "Johnson Family Vacation" and "The Original Kings of Comedy" but until now, most of us didn't know he could really sing.
Cedric makes his singing debut in a duet with British singing sensation Sonna on "Walking in a Winter Wonderland," the lead track from his new album "Cedric the Entertainer & Silas White Present a Powerhouse Christmas."
The album features a number of special guests, including Grammy-nominated MAJOR., jazz's Dave Koz, country trio Auburn Road and Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox. It's available now in music stores and all digital platforms.
Sonna's 2015 hit "Strong" from the soundtrack to Disney's "Cinderella" sold in the millions, and she is readying her next release, due on Valentine's Day 2020.
Cedric and Sonna checked in with The Maine Edge for a dual interview about their careers and their Christmas collaboration.
The Maine Edge: You have a nice variety of Christmas music on this album. Cedric, we know you from your comedy, but I didn't know you could sing. How did this record come to be?
Cedric the Entertainer: Silas White is a big music producer (Justin Timberlake, Sonna), and he heard this thing in my voice – this kind of older, smoother, almost Buble-esque kind of style, and thought the combination of my voice with Sonna's voice would make for a great song. Sonna is such an amazingly talented singer, she made it easy for me. I'm the straight man in this duo (laughs).
Sonna: Oh my God, it was so much fun to work with Cedric in the studio. When I heard him sing for the first time, I was like 'Do you know how deep your voice is?' He said (she lowers her voice for effect) 'Well, I'm just doing my thing, you know?' (laughs). He doesn't give himself enough credit because he really can sing. We sang live together, and it was a beautiful surprise to hear his voice blend with mine.
The Maine Edge: Sonna, you also sing the George Michael composition "Last Christmas" on this album. Is that song important to you?
Sonna: I can relate to that song 100%. For me, it's a true story, and I was just about welling up with tears as I sang it and reminisced about a situation I had gone through. "Last Christmas" is very close to my heart, and it's also my dad's favorite Christmas song. He's extremely excited that I'm singing it on this record.
The Maine Edge: Where will you each be on Christmas day? What are your plans?
Cedric the Entertainer: I'm usually at home with my kids, even though they're not little anymore. My youngest is 16 and my son is home from college. We'll get up and have a big breakfast, have fun at the house, then we'll visit family around Los Angeles. And then I'm going on tour right after Christmas.
Sonna: This will actually be my first Christmas in Los Angeles. I'm really looking forward to it but I'm not sure what to expect. I'm sure my manager will have me work through the Christmas season because we're both workaholics. We're gearing up for the release of my album on February 14, so I'll be back and forth between America and London. It's going to be an exciting year.
The Maine Edge: Cedric, your CBS show "The Neighborhood" is doing really well. Are you having as much fun as it appears?
Cedric the Entertainer: Indeed, man. This show has been one of the greatest experiences of my career. I've done many sitcoms and movies, but to be doing this show on CBS right now with this cast (including Max Greenfield, Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears, Hank Greenspan, Tichina Arnold and Beth Behrs) and all of our writers and directors – we're just having a blast. Everybody should tune in Monday nights at 8:00 for some real laughs.

An underlying fear of Alzheimer's disease runs rampant in seniors who deal with the symptoms of loss of memory and diminished mental function. However, the latest research shows that at least some of that worry may be baseless and that these issues may be the result of a much more treatable affliction.
According to a report published in a Canadian medical journal, the symptoms that actually might be the results of neglected hearing loss are sometimes mistaken as the product of Alzheimer's.
In the Canadian study, researchers closely assessed participant's functional abilities related to thought and memory and looked for any connections to potential brain disorders. 56 percent of people evaluated for cognitive impairment had minor to extreme loss of hearing. Surprisingly, a hearing aid was worn by only 20 percent of those people.
These findings are backed up by patients who think they might have symptoms of Alzheimer's according to a clinical neuropsychologist who authored the study. In some instances, it was a patient's loved ones who suggested the appointment because they noticed memory lapses or diminished attention.
While hearing loss may not be the first thing an older adult thinks of when dealing with potential cognitive decline, it's easy to see how one can confuse it with Alzheimer's.
Having your friend ask you for a favor is a situation that you can be easily imagined. Case in point, let's say they need a ride to the airport for an upcoming trip. What if you didn't hear their question clearly? Would you ask them to repeat themselves? If you still aren't certain what they said, is there any possible way you would know that you were supposed to drive them to the airport?
It's likely that some people could have misdiagnosed themselves with Alzheimer's because of this type of thinking according to hearing professionals. Instead, it may very well be an ongoing and progressive hearing problem. Bottom line, you can't remember something that you don't hear to begin with.
It's not surprising that people of an advanced age are experiencing these problems given the correlation between aging and the likelihood of having hearing loss. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) reports that just 2 percent of adults aged 45 to 54 have disabling loss of hearing. Meanwhile, that number rises considerably for older age brackets, coming in at 8.5 percent for 55- to 64-year-olds; 25 percent for 65- to 74-year-olds; and 50 percent for people 75-years or older.
Gradual loss of hearing, which is a part of aging, often goes untreated because people just accept it as a normal part of life. In fact, it takes around 10 years on average for a person to seek treatment for loss of hearing. Worse, less than 25 percent of people who need hearing aids will ultimately buy them.
Do I try to avoid social situations because holding a conversation in a loud room is hard?
Science has definitely found a connection between hearing loss and Alzheimer's, however they are not the same. A Johns Hopkins study followed 639 people who noted no cognitive impairment over a 12 to 18 year period studying their progress and aging. The research found that the worse the hearing loss at the beginning of the study, the more likely the person was to develop symptoms of dementia which is a term that refers to impaired thought and memory.
There is one way you might be able to eliminate any potential confusion between loss of hearing and Alzheimer's, and that is to undergo a hearing test. The prevailing thought in the health care community is that this evaluating should be a regular part of your annual physical, especially for people who are over 65.
We can help with a full hearing assessment if you think there may be a possibility you might be confusing hearing loss with Alzheimer's. Schedule your appointment for an exam today.


With the increasing use of heavier machinery, subsoil compaction in WA has as a result moved deeper by up to 400-600mm down in to the soil profile. "Soils in WA have <35% clay and have little capacity to naturally swell and crack to remove compaction" (B. Isbister, 2016). Sandy soils need depth to compensate for low water holding capacity. Therefore "cropping soils with sandy textures at least 500mm deep, need deep ripping to 550mm or more to decompact hardpans" (DAFG, 2016) and allows plant root access to reach deeper into the soil to access vital moisture and nutrients.
Research done by the Department of Agriculture and Food have shown improved productivity by removing soil compaction by deep ripping to 550mm and topsoil slotting by removing soil compaction in sandy soils "In 2015 trials, The researchers found that new methods of removing compaction in sandy textured soils by deep ripping to 55cm and topsoil slotting could boost wheat yields by 1-1.7 tonnes per hectare and provide a return of $6-$16 for every $1 invested" (N, Lee, 2016).
Addressing any associated shallow subsoil constraints to a depth of 30cm (non-wetting soil, soil acidity, sodicity). Consider deep ripping up to 400mm one season then up to 600mm next season with lime if needed.
Implementing CTF in line with farm machinery replacement schedule.
4. Choose the type of wheel track you want to leave?
Top soil slotting, with soil inclusion plates attached to the rear of deep ripper tines, could deliver increased yield from deep sandy soils" (DAGF, 2016). Inclusion plates open 'slots' below the surface of the soil behind deep ripping tines to help direct the loosened topsoil into the furrow. With the use of a flexi-roller, the roller will help push the material in to the slots and firm the surface after ripping to create a more level seed bed. "First year returns on investment for trials with dry growing seasons in 2015 ranged from $6 to $16 per dollar invested" (DAFG, 2016). In addition, top soil slotting helped reduce grain losses from dry and hot spring weather.
Other soil constraints such as soil acidity, sodicity and non-wetting soils can be alleviated using topsoil slotting. Applying soil ameliorants such as organic matter, lime and gypsum at time of top soil slotting. This has been shown to "have more effect on sandy or clay textured subsoils and offer better retun on investment" (DAGF, 2016).
Top- soil slotting is best utilised at low speed of about 4km/h and with a moist subsoil and dry topsoil. It is important to set the plates below the topsoil and to monitor the plates for soil adhesion and stubble blockages.
Our Agrowplow AP91 features a shallow leading tine design and consists of a single row of shallow leading tines working in-line and ahead at depths of up to 450mm. This then reduces the draft force required by the following tines, set to penetrate up to 600mm. Studied by the team at the Department of Agriculture and Food, the leading tine configuration improves the towing ability and reduces fuel and time costs by reducing the draft force / pulling power required to pull the ripper.

Probabilistic risk model for assessing hydrogen fuel contamination effects in automotive FC systems
R. Tuominen, N. Helppolainen, J. Ihonen, J. Viitakangas
Traces of contaminants in hydrogen fuel are known to have adverse effects on the performance of fuel cell road vehicles. In order to control the risk of such effects, tentative standards, such as ISO 14687-2:2012, have been issued specifying requirements for the purity of the dispensed fuel regarding selected individual contaminants. These concentrations limits are, however, based on limited test data and qualitative assessment of the risk.In this paper, a probabilistic simulation model developed in the HyCoRA project is described. The model allows quantification of the risk induced by fuel contaminants on FCEVs' performance, and assessment of the overall cost impact of quality control measure options if these are introduced in the fuel delivery chain. Thus, the quality control options having the best overall cost impact and being most cost-effective in controlling the fuel impurity risk can be pointed out. The model is implemented in MATLAB and applies a Monte Carlo simulation method to process the various sources of variability and uncertainty involved in such assessment.The FC contamination part of the model is based on CO adsorption on the anode platinum surface. In the model, the effects of catalyst aging, FCEV use profile, and the presence of CO-forming and other contaminants in the fuel coming from different production paths can be considered. To start with, only the effect of CO in hydrogen fuel produced by the NG-SMR-PSA process has been implemented. The model, however, can be expanded to other contaminants and hydrogen fuel production methods as sufficient data becomes available through experiments and data collection activities.The calculation example demonstrates proper functioning and outputs of the currently implemented model. For future exploitation, the current Matlab code is openly available for downloads on the HyCoRA project web-page.

Hawaii volcano could blow its top soon, hurl rocks and ash
PAHOA, Hawaii — A Hawaii volcano is threatening to blow its top in coming days or weeks after sputtering lava for a week, forcing about 2,000 people to evacuate, destroying two dozen homes and threatening a geothermal plant.
Experts fear Kilauea volcano on the Big Island it could hurl ash and boulders the size of refrigerators miles into the air.
But scientists say an eruptive explosion would not be deadly if people stay out of closed areas of a national park around the volcano.
"If it goes up, it will come down," said Charles Mandeville, volcano hazards coordinator for the U.S. Geological Survey. "You don't want to be underneath anything that weighs 10 tons when it's coming out at 120 mph (193 kph)."
The added threat could ground planes at one of the island's two major airports and pose other dangers. The volcano park closed indefinitely Thursday night because of the risks.
"We know the volcano is capable of doing this," Mandeville said, citing similar explosions at Kilauea in 1925, 1790 and four other times over the last few thousand years. "We know it is a distinct possibility."
PAHOA, HI - MAY 10: A plume of volcanic gases mixed with smoke from fires caused by lava (LOWER L) rises from the vicinity of the Leilani Estates neighborhood, with a statue of the Virgin Mary (R) perched atop an old lava flow, in the aftermath of er
He would not estimate the likelihood of such an explosion, but said internal volcanic conditions are changing in a way that could lead to a blast in about a week. The volcano's internal plumbing could still prevent an explosion.
If an explosive eruption happens, a summit blast could also release steam and sulfur dioxide gas.
Kilauea has destroyed 36 structures — including 26 homes — since May 3, when it began releasing lava from vents about 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of the summit crater. Fifteen vents are now spread through the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens neighborhoods.
Hawaii Gov. David Ige, a Democratm said crews at a geothermal energy plant near the lava outbreak accelerated the removal of stored flammable fuel as a precaution. The Puna Geothermal Venture plant had about 50,000 gallons (189,270 liters) of pentane. It was removed early Thursday.
Barbara Lozano, who lives within a mile of the plant, said she would have thought twice about buying her property if she had known the risks.
"Why did they let us buy residential property, knowing it was a dangerous situation? Why did they let people build all around it?" she asked.
Avani Love, 29, moved to the Big Island about a month ago from Maui with her four children. They evacuated their home May 3, and only found out it was destroyed when a relative went back to get her personal belongings.
While saying she's sad to have lost her home, she also feels a sense of renewal brought on by Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, to correct overpopulation of the island.
"Everyone comes here," she said. "When you have that, it's Pele's way of clearing house and restoring the place. There's beauty and also darkness."
No one lives in the immediate area of the summit. Communities about 2 miles (3 kilometers) away could showered by pea-size rock fragments or dusted with nontoxic ash, said Tina Neal, scientist-in-charge at the Hawaii Volcano Observatory.
What could happen is not an eruption of volcanic gases but mostly trapped steam from flash-heated groundwater released like in a kitchen pressure cooker, with rocks, said volcanologist Janine Krippner of Concord University in West Virginia.
The problem is the lava lake at the summit of Kilauea is draining fast, about 6.5 feet (2 meters) per hour, Mandeville said.
In little more than a week, the top of the lava lake has gone from spilling over the crater to almost 970 feet (295 meters) below the surface as of Thursday morning, Mandeville said. The lava levels in the lake are dropping because lava is spewing out of cracks elsewhere in the mountain, lowering the pressure that filled the lava lake.
"This is a huge change. This is three football fields going down," Mandeville said.
The fear is that it will go below the underground water table — another 1,000 feet (305 meters) further down — and that would trigger a chain of events that could lead to a "very violent" steam explosion, Mandeville said.
At the current rate of change, that is about six or seven days away.
Once the lava drops, rocks that had been superheated could fall into the lava tube. And once the lava drops below the water table, water hits rocks that are as hot as almost 2,200 degrees (1,200 Celsius) and flashes into steam. When the water hits the lava, it also steams. And the dropped rocks hold that steam in until it blows.
A similar 1924 explosion hurled pulverized rock, ash and steam as high as 5.4 miles (9 kilometers) into the sky, for severak weeks. If another blast happens, the danger zone could extend about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from the summit to land that all falls within the national park, Mandeville said.
The small, aptly named town of Volcano, Hawaii, population 2,500, is about 3 miles (4.83 kilometers) from the summit.
Janet Coney, office manager of the Kilauea Lodge, an inn and restaurant. said officials told her lodge employees probably won't have to worry about rocks raining down on them but might experience falling ash.

Want to take home a piece of the Capitol?
LANSING — Michiganders will have a chance to take home a physical piece of their state history after the Michigan State Capitol Commission decided to sell pieces of the iconic Capitol dome that are being replaced.
Commissioners decided Tuesday that about 100 ornamental modillions from the original 19th Century construction of the statehouse will be made available to the public. Hundreds of the decorative sandstone pieces are being replaced as part of a $6.5 million restoration of the dome and exterior, and officials from general contractor The Christman Co. told commissioners Tuesday at least 100 of the 136-year-old pieces still have recognizable ornamental designs.
"Even deteriorated, there will be interest" in the modillions, said Commissioner Kerry Chartkoff, the Capitol historian emeritus. She said officials sold materials after the last major statehouse restoration in 1992, and even items that seemed worthless were popular buys.
On the suggestion of Commission Chairman Gary Randall, who said he'd "hate to price these out of the range of Joe and Jane, the average person," the commission will make 50 modillions available for $100 in a lottery. The other 50 will be auctioned off, with a $100 minimum bid.
Money raised will go into the commission's general fund for Capitol maintenance, officials said. A date and method for the sale still has to be finalized, officials said. The restoration is expected to wrap up in November.
While making those pieces of the Capitol available to the public, the commission decided to close off another piece: Based on the advice of the firm Quinn Evans Architects and commissioners' own concerns about safety and potential damage to the building, the commission voted Tuesday to prohibit tours of the dome. The commission can still grant exceptions.
Commissioner Jeff Cobb, calling dome tours a unique attraction, voted against.
But Chartkoff told commissioners they'd bring something else back to the public.
With the current restoration work coming in under budget, the commission will be able to install decorative lightposts on the east lawn, near the head of East Michigan Avenue. A pair of cast-iron gas lightposts existed there — on either side of the main walk from Capitol Avenue up to the main steps — until electricity was installed at the statehouse near the turn of the last century, Chartkoff said.
The Capitol is a National Historic Landmark, and was the first of three statehouses designed by famed architect Elijah Myers, whose work in Lansing set the standard for government buildings nationwide.

The Michigan State Capitol Commission on Tuesday also:
• Approved updates to commission policies on use of the Capitol facilities, including an increase in allowed size of displays from 3-feet-by-3-feet-by-3-feet to 4-feet-by-4-feet-by-4-feet, the incorporation of a drone ban approved earlier by the commission, and a requirement for organizers of events inside the building to pay damage deposits or carry insurance.
• Approved an $8.6 million 2015-16 budget that includes salary increases for Capitol staff and spending on conservation of historic portraits, mechanical engineering to examine Capitol climate control problems, ceiling work and decorative painting. The 2016 budget includes $4.1 million appropriated from the state general fund, $3.1 million from a special Capitol maintenance fund, $1.2 million carried over from the current budget, plus other miscellaneous revenue.
• Gave official approval to the Lansing's Silver Bells in the City holiday event and to the erection of the official state Christmas tree


Saw your post on my TOME dump. I'm potion scumming Erebor with empty bottles, not drinking them without knowing what they are, so I get to see if it's Corruption or some other nasty thing before I drink. Do you know how to do that? If not, it's a great thing to know, especially handy for stocking up on healing and other buffs before taking on a big fight, and Erebor is a great place to do it, with the quadruple fountains and deep levels for good potions.

a Haitian celebration by the Rara Tou Limen Haitian Dance Company. What a show!
although similar tensions evolve (one man "flips" out), and fights ensue, it is clear that in or out, these men are caught and bound. It is less a dance work than a dramatic portrayal of a contemporary enigma. The performers were James Antoine Hunter, Rashad Pridgen, Travis Santell Rowland and Matthew Wickett. The powerful score was by Marcus Shelby.
Barnes' work ("Clearance: Linking Our Passage") also dramatizes the African-American experience. In this instance, people from the south travel to the north with well-documented hardships. It is a work-in-progress, using a large cast and scattered moments of group ensemble that is to be completed in the fall of 2014.
The most complimentary remark I can give about Gregory Dawson's "birds eye view" is that he enlisted a fine jazz ensemble of musicians, the Richard Howell Quintet. His six dancers — Isaiah Bindel, Jordan Drew, Ilaria Guerra, Byron Roman, Oliver Shock and Jessica Wagner — employed a dance vocabulary familiar in the Bay Area from the Lines Company; that is, ballet, modern, jazz, hip-hop, gymnastics and a continual barrage of wiggles, flops, falls, punctuated by multiple jump turns and pirouettes. It is all delightfully entertaining if you like TV dance, but after 50 minutes, watching each dance take a "jazz-riff," the audiences' restlessness was apparent. I believe it was once pronounced by Doris Humphrey, "All dances are too long!" This one is.
Portsha Jefferson's lively celebrations, "Nasyon Dechennen ("Furious Nation") portrayed various incidents experienced by native Haitians (kidnapping, repression) yet concluded with exciting, colorful, lively bouncing, turning, jumping ensemble revelry. Like other works on the program, it too could use editing, but all in all, it left the festival audience in an upbeat mood.
The Festival continues March 7 and 8 with Robert Moses' Kin presenting "Draft/BY Series," at ODC Theater in San Francisco. Barnes and Ellis are to be complimented and congratulated on their fine accomplishments for the 10th Anniversary of the Black Choreographers Festival.

Хосе Эусебио Уррусменди Айкагер (; 25 августа 1944) — уругвайский футболист, выступавший на позиции нападающего.

Биография
Во время выступления в футбольном клубе «Насьональ» принял участие вместе со сборной Уругвая в финальной стадии чемпионата мира 1966 года, где Уругвай дошёл до финала. Уррусменди, хоть и был вызван в сборную, не сыграл ни в одном матче. Через год он принял участие в Кубке Америки 1967 года. Уругвай выиграл чемпионат Южной Америки, а Уррусменди сыграл во всех пяти матчах: с Боливией, Венесуэлой (забил 2 гола), Чили, Парагваем (забил 1 гол) и Аргентиной.

Вместе с «Насьоналем» Уррусменди дважды доходил до финала Кубка Либертадорес, где оба раза его команда потерпела поражение от клубов из Аргентины. В первый раз в финале Кубка Либертадорес в 1964 году он проиграл «Индепендьенте» из Буэнос-Айреса, а в финале Кубка Либертадорес 1967 года после трёх матчей пришлось признать превосходство «Расинга».

Со 2 мая 1965 года по 1 июля 1967 года Уррусменди сыграл за сборную Уругвая в 21 матче и забил 8 голов.

После окончания карьеры футболиста работал как тренер. В Гондурасе он тренировал клуб из второго дивизиона «Крус Асуль» в городе Сан Хосе де Колинас, в Уругвае работал с такими клубами, как «Платенсе Монтевидео» и «Расинг Монтевидео».

Home Awards Steve Hutensky Exec Produces Cecelia Ahern Novel for TV
Steve Hutensky Exec Produces Cecelia Ahern Novel for TV
Renowned Irish author Cecelia Ahern has found plenty of success in the literary world, with sixteen novels under her belt to date. Of those books, two have already been adapted into films. Her latest novel, "Roar", a collection of thirty stories, is once again showing that her storytelling appeal transcends mediums with an announcement that it is slated for adaptation as a television series. The series will be benefitting not only from Ahern's storytelling but also a seasoned production team that includes Nicole Kidman, Bruna Papandrea, and Steve Hutensky. Read on for more info on the exciting new project, and a look at the people who are championing its creation.
Industry history
One producer in particular who is catching attention with this announcement is industry vet Steve Hutensky. Along with an extensive team of executive producers, he will work to adapt the novel from a literary format to the small screen. That effort will draw from a career that has seen him in a variety of roles, one of particular note being his time as the head of business affairs for Relativity Media based out of Los Angeles. In that role he not only oversaw all business actions of the company's daily operations but also the legal aspects as well. These responsibilities included a focus on development, production, financing, acquisitions, and distribution.
Before his time at Relativity, he worked as an independent film producer. During that time he formed and operated Walk The Walk Entertainment, then based out of New York City. Steve still runs that company today and additionally engages in productions with other film and television companies. In addition to his professional experience in the industry, he has a firm academic background in business and legal affairs. He attended Dartmouth College for his bachelors degree and later New York University for law school.
Series collaborators
This latest project to adapt "Roar" is getting a push from a talented group effort to get the series off the ground. Executive producer Nicole Kidman not only has a long and well-known career in a wide range of films, but has found plenty of television success as well. A notable recent example being her starring role on "Big Little Lies," a series which she also produces. In addition to that show, Kidman is developing a range of other projects for television including "The Female Persuasion," "Truly Madly Guilty," and "The Expatriates."
Bruna Papandrea, who teamed with Kidman on "Big Little Lies," will also be executive producing on the project through her production company, Made Up Stories. Showrunners will be Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, who are the co-creators and showrunners of "GLOW," which is now heading into its third season.
With such a seasoned team behind this new series, expectations are high. Both "GLOW" and "Big Little Lies" have won big at the Emmys and both have seen viewership levels that brought them renewals for their latest seasons. This auspicious start to the project does not escape the author of the book, who states she is "Incredibly honored to be working with this phenomenal team in bringing 'Roar' from the page to the screen."
Story overview
In its literary form, "Roar" is a series of tales focusing on absurd contradiction. The book features thirty different stories which each focus on a woman in the midst of exploring a different issue in her life. Some of the stories are humorous in nature, though they are still rooted in the emotional context of the narrative. The tales, which have been characterized as deeply moving, take a look at a range of emotions, including humiliation, joy, triumph, and guilt, that often define the experience of the modern woman. Many of the tales include private moments where a woman might feel "the need to roar."
The book has already been featured on the author's website and a variety of social media outlets. It is slated to be published in the UK this November by HarperCollins UK. It will be released by Grand Central Publishing in the U.S. in April of 2019. When discussing the book's transition from the written word to television, Ahern highlighted the personal nature of the characters in her novel. "The women in this collection have lived and breathed with me for so very long," she said. "I'm excited to begin the next journey of amplifying their voices."
Along with the television projects produced by others on the team bringing the novel to the screen, Steve Hutensky has a range of film projects to his name that will serve to provide a unique perspective as the series moves forward. On the documentary front he is known for his work producing the film "Wake Up." The acclaimed spiritual documentary follows the journey of a man who suddenly came upon the ability to see a range of occult phenomena including angels, demons, auras, and the deceased. The film toured widely around the country and was used to anchor the premiere episode of "Super Soul Sunday" on Oprah Winfrey's television network.
In addition, he has also produced films across a variety of genres including the recent science fiction thriller, "2:22." That film, released in June of 2017, centers on the story of an air traffic controller who experiences an unexplainable occurrence which helps to divert a potentially deadly collision while also introducing him to a mysterious love interest. This project, as well as others in his production history, will help to inform the approach he takes moving forward on this latest television endeavor.
With the buzz created by both the Emmy success and high viewership of shows like "GLOW" and "Big Little Lies," this latest series announcement is making waves across the industry. As the loyal audience of readers and filmgoers that Ahern's novels command hear of the news, expectations are already up. That sense of anticipation, coupled with the announcements of veteran executive producers such as Nicole Kidman, Bruna Papandrea, and Steve Hutensky, spells good things in the future for the upcoming adaptation of "Roar."

I don't know why many people recently showed interest in the real person behind the facebook face; they all asked me how I handled my own problems and who I went to for comfort and advice. I have friends … I have close friends but since I began looking into other people's suffering, my issues seemed to shrink in size and volume. It kind of embarrasses me to think of my personal problems – does that make any sense to you?
Being the analytical freak that I have become, I found a direct connection between "the mess inside" and "the mess outside". Since that day, I learnt how to meditate my problems away. I washed away my pain with the power of my mind. I would close my eyes and dissociate myself from reality; bit by bit my head would feel light, the ground would feel distant, the sky would seem closer, and my senses would be attuned to my trip back in time.
I would travel back to my old room in my parents' house where I used to study when I was 10. I would focus on the details; walking through the door, the wardrobe leaning on the wall to my right, my brother's bed underneath the window in the middle of that wall facing the door, the balcony at the beginning of the wall on the left, my school desk, in the center on the wall facing the wardrobe, and finally my bed resting parallel to the wall to the left of the door, facing the window and my brother's bed.
In the middle of the room I could see the square carpet; a black piece of woven wool with fine short red lines. In the middle of each red line there is a vertical blue line. The lines are scattered allover the black carpet like shooting stars that found their way to my floor. Black, blue, and red fringes circled the the weaver's creation … they felt so hard and durable … they are so many.
My blanket had the same colors as the carpet, but unlike the warmth of the woolen carpet, my blanket always felt cool and comforting … I can smell my childhood now. I walk through the door only to stumble upon broken toys, leftovers, plastic bags, dust, stains, and rotten pieces of bread in every corner. I kneel on the carpet and begin picking up the broken pieces – saving what can be saved and throwing away what would be clutter. Here is another piece .. and there is another one … here are some more … and there are other back there … the room is so messy .. how did I let that happen?
Those dolls belong on the shelf. That dress hangs on the right. These papers belong in the bin. This man does not belong here! In my room I feel safe to cry – all little girls cry – and with my tears I shall clean the stains. Here is an easy stain … there is a tough one … polish … polish … my room has to be spotless clean. What's that under the bed? What's that in the closet? No more skeletons … let the sun in!
Here is my favorite dust sweeper .. it's not a hoofer … rows of little brushes underneath a turquoise blue box. I grab the long handle and like a witch I ride it up and down my carpet. I love the sound of brushing and thinking of the fine particles of dust being sucked within the darkness of the box. Now I can open the window and let the fresh air in.
This is the bed that kept all my secrets … let me touch the blanket one more time … let me smell it's innocence one more time … I will just put on Ezalo tablet and let its soothing scent take me back to my life. I have cleaned up the mess … I will come again tomorrow to make sure I left nothing behind.

Q: Adding custom field to log4j json layout breaks spring logging structure I have a Spring Boot (2.2.6) application that uses Log4j2 (with Slf4j). Log4j is configured to use the json layout and in the end I want to ingest the logs in Datadog. For that the 'serviceName' is important as a field in the json.
Now according to the log4j docu (https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#JSONLayout) one can add a custom field with the 'KeyValuePair' tags and that works. Unfortunately this breaks the normal structure of the spring logs.
Log4j2.xml config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration>
    <Appenders>

      <KeyValuePair key="serviceName" value="$${env:APPLICATION_NAME:-local}-sidecar"/> <!-- fine w/o this line -->
</JSONLayout>
        </Console>
    </Appenders>

  "serviceName": "local-sidecar"
}

Spring docu mentions how this might work with logback, but not log4j (https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/spring-boot-features.html#boot-features-custom-log-configuration, end of chapter)
I've searched but couldn't find anything useful. Any ideas how i can add a custom field to the json log while still preserving all fields coming from Spring?
Thanks,
Felix

A: *

*download Jackson Annotations and import it because JsonLayout use Jackson Annotations internal code.

*

*in my case, download and import these

jackson-annotations-2.10.3.jar
jackson-core-2.10.3.jar
jackson-databind-2.10.3.jar

*add <JsonLayout>...</JsonLayout> in your config(in my case log4j2.xml) like below

<JsonLayout>
  <KeyValuePair key="testKey" value="testValue"/>
</JsonLayout>

Replace key and value to what you want to use. In my case key is "testKey" and value is "testValue"

Q: setting maxlength using javascript I'm trying to set the maxlength on input fields dynamically using JavaScript. Apparently that is a problem in IE, and I found part of the solution.
$("input#title").get(0).setAttribute("max_length", 25);
$("input#title").get(0).setAttribute(
                        "onkeypress",
                        "return limitMe(event, this)");

function limitMe(evt, txt) {
    if (evt.which && evt.which == 8) return true;
    else return (txt.value.length < txt.getAttribute("max_length");
}

It works in Firefox, but not in IE for some reason. However, it works on input fields set like this:
<input type="text" max_length="25" onkeypress="return limitMe(event, this);"/>

But since the input fields are created dynamically, I can't do this... Any ideas?

A: The attribute you're looking for is maxlength, not max_length. See here.

A: IE is case sensitive on setAttribute() and only "maxLength" works...
var el=document.createElement('input'); el.setAttribute('maxLength',25);

A: Don't forget though that if you are setting the maxlength via JavaScript, someone else could just as easily change the maxlength to whatever they like. You will still need to validate the submitted data on the server.

A: All the answers here relies on keypress/paste events. Here is my solution using the input event:
$('input').on('input', onInput);

var inputValue = '';

function onInput(e) {
    if(e.currentTarget.value.length > 30) {
        e.currentTarget.value = titleValue;
        return;
    }

    inputValue = e.currentTarget.value;
}

A: If you're using jQuery then why not make full use of its abstractions?
E.g.
Instead of:
$("input#title").get(0).setAttribute("max_length", 25);
$("input#title").get(0).setAttribute(
                        "onkeypress",
                        "return limitMe(event, this)");
function limitMe(evt, txt) {
    if (evt.which && evt.which == 8) return true;
    else return (txt.value.length < txt.getAttribute("max_length");
}

Do this:
$('input#title').attr('maxLength','25').keypress(limitMe);

function limitMe(e) {
    if (e.keyCode == 8) { return true; }
    return this.value.length < $(this).attr("maxLength");
}

Edit: The reason it's not working in IE is probably because of how you attached the 'onKeyPress' handler, via setAttribute. - This isn't the proper way to register event handlers.

A: Because I had some trouble with the answer from @James I wrote sth that worked even when     copy-pasting stuff, and especially when working with IE8 and down. My implementation uses jQuery and its live-events.
jQuery(function () {
    $('body').on('keydown.maxlength_fix', 'textarea[maxlength]', function (e) {
        var $this = $(this);
        window.setTimeout(function () {
            var val = $this.val();
            var maxlength = $this.attr('maxlength');
            if (val.length > maxlength) {
                $this.val(val.substr(0, maxlength));
            }
        }, 4);
    });
});

A: My code also print out the written/max characters, ignore that part.
$("[maxlength]").bind("keyup focusin", function(){
    var maxkey = $(this).attr("maxlength");
    var length = $(this).val().length;
    var value = $(this).val();
    $(this).parent().find(".counter").text(length+"/"+maxkey);
    if (length > maxkey) $(this).val(value.substring(0, maxkey));
}).bind("focusout", function(){$(this).parent().find(".counter").text("")});
