BG248 was 20 year-old Norman Orr's first poster for Bill Graham. Orr's early lettering style reflected the influence of his artistic hero, Rick Griffin, but the artwork was strictly his own talent. Santana was one of Orr's favorite performers, and the artist considered it a good omen that his first poster assignment was for one of his favorite groups.
Our t-shirts consists of vintage and retro rock t-shirts, concert poster ties, vintage rock jackets and concert hats. Many of our concert tees were created for and made at the time of a particular event or performance.
About Norman Orr
Barely out of high school when the psychedelic scene rocked San Francisco, Orr aspired to become a Fillmore poster artist. Hired in 1970 by Bill Graham's art director, Pat Hanks, many of his first posters featured detailed lettering on rich colorways and reflected the influence of artists Kelly, Mouse and Griffin. Orr's style evolved to include designs featuring female nudes and photographs combined with complex lettering and backgrounds. His posters are compelling artwork, a mixture of pure public relations and religious or political themes done in jewel-like tones.

Sir Jonathan Ive has been honored by well-known UK BBC TV show Blue Peter. Apple's design chief Sir Jonathan Ive has been awarded a gold Blue Peter badge in recognition of him being an inspiration to children around the world. Blue Peter started its life in the 1950's and is still as popular with today's children due to its wide ranging content and mix of arts and craft demonstrations.
As part of the award, Jonathan Ive will appear in a pre-filmed part of this Saturday's show which will be a gadget special, offering advice on the latest technology to its viewers.
In the pre-filmed segment he reviewed designs sent in by children and recalled how he had enjoyed watching one of Blue Peter's past presenters reuse a detergent bottle to create a paintbrush holder. "I loved the way there was just products that you thought were no longer useful, but reusing them," he said. "It was fantastic."
Sir Jonathan, known as Jony, described the news as "absolutely incredible". He also presented the show with his own version of the Blue Peter badge made out of solid aluminium, manufactured by Apple's equipment, using the programme's catchphrase: "Here's one that we made earlier".
The Blue Peter Gold badge has only been awarded to around 1000 people during the lifetime of the show. Sir Jonathan Ive will be in good company sharing the accolade with the likes of David Beckham and the Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – A week after earning All-Patriot League honors in women's rowing, senior Jean Sack (Eureka, Calif.) and junior Erin Meyer (Austin, Texas) earned another set of honors from the league today as it announced its 2013 Academic All-Patriot League squad. It was the third time that Myer has been named to the honor, joining Colgate's Natalie Bauman as the league's first three-time honorees. It is the first Academic All-Patriot League honor for Sack.
Sack is the starter in the No. 7 seat of the Varsity 8 boat and helped MIT to a third-place finish in the Varsity 8 race and a fourth-place team finish at the 2013 Patriot League championship. Recently featured on CNN's "The Next List" show that profiles innovators, visionaries and agents of change, she was also selected as a panelist at "The Next List Summit". Named the team's Most Inspirational Player (MVP) for 2013, Sack is also a member of the MIT Symphony Orchestra and MIT Wind Ensemble. A mechanical engineering major, she carries a 4.5 (out of 5.0) GPA.
Meyer starts in the stroke seat for MIT and was part of the same crew with Sack that placed third in the Patriot League Championships. She also a part of the team that finished third overall at the George Washington Invitational, helping the team to wins over St. Joseph's, George Washington and Georgetown. A CRCA National Scholar Athlete (2012), she has interned at the Natick Soldier Research, Development, and Engineering Center and has performed research in MIT's Aerospace Controls Lab. Also a mechanical engineering major, she currently has a 5.0 GPA at MIT.

Hopefully, the introduction of PHP 5.3 will contribute to fixing these issues, since it will incorporate support for namespaces. In the meantime, as you wait for its release, you may want to take a close look at this group of articles, which will walk you through the basics of using namespaces with PHP 5 by way of a hands-on approach.
And speaking of hands-on approaches, you'll possibly recall that in the previous article of this series, I explained by means of distinct practical examples how to utilize the "use" PHP keyword to tie a couple of sample classes to different namespaces. Of course, one of the most important benefits in using this reserved word is that it requires a shorter syntax for declaring and utilizing a certain namespace. This approach appeals to many programmers.
It's worth noting, though, that PHP 5.3 will let you use yet another notation that can be quite helpful when it comes to declaring namespaces in a more intuitive way. In this specific case, I'm talking about the ability to work with aliases, that is, meaningful words that can be directly linked to a given namespace.
If you're interested in learning how to use aliases when working with namespaces, in this article I'll be taking a close look at this topic, so you can learn quickly how to put this feature to work for you.
Now, it's time to get rid of the preliminaries, and start discovering the real power in using namespace aliases with PHP 5. Let's get going!
{mospagebreak title=Review: the use keyword}
I know that you want to see how to use namespace aliases with PHP 5, but first I'd like to reintroduce the example developed in the preceding article of this series. It was aimed at demonstrating how to utilize the "use" keyword to tie a sample "User" class to a fictional "UserManager::Blog" namespace.
That being said, here's how the aforementioned example looked originally:
use UserManager::Blog::User;
class User{
private $firstName;
private $lastName;
private $email;
public function __construct($firstName,$lastName,$email){
throw new Exception('Invalid First Name parameter!');
throw new Exception('Invalid Last Name parameter!');
throw new Exception('Invalid Email parameter!');
// get user's first name
public function getFirstName(){
return $this->firstName;
// get user's last name
public function getLastName(){
return $this->lastName;
// get user's email
public function getEmail(){
return $this->email;
// create new instance of 'User' class by using the specified namespace
$user=new User('Alejandro','Gervasio','firstname.lastname@example.com');
// display user data
echo 'First Name: '.$user->getFirstName().'
';
echo 'Last Name: '.$user->getLastName().'
';
echo 'Email: '.$user->getEmail().'
';
/* displays the following
First Name: Alejandro
Last Name: Gervasio
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
As you can see by the above code sample, linking a class to a concrete namespace via the "use" keyword is indeed a no-brainer process that can be tackled with minor hassles. Naturally, the main advantage in using this reserved word in place of "namespace" is that it permits the use of a shortened syntax, but other than that, both of them have the same functionality.
At this point, you've hopefully recalled how to associate a basic "User" class to a specific namespace, which means that it's time to start explaining how to use namespace aliases to accomplish the same task.
This useful topic will be discussed in depth in the section to come, so jump ahead and read the next few lines.
{mospagebreak title=Utilizing namespace aliases}
As I mentioned in the introduction, PHP 5.3 will also let you work with namespace aliases in a very simple fashion. Indeed, this process is reduced to associating meaningful words with a certain namespace, which will require writing less, but more intuitive, code.
To demonstrate a typical use of namespace aliases, I'm going to create for you a fictional scenario. In this example, two validation classes that share the same name are associated with different namespaces. The first of these namespaces will be used in the context of a blog application, while the second one will be associated with a content management system.
So, based on this hypothetical situation, the use of namespace aliases could be exemplified in the following manner:
use DataSanitizer::Blog::Validator as BlogValidator;
use DataSanitizer::CMS::Validator as CMSValidator;
// create new instance of 'BlogValidator' class
$blogValidator=new BlogValidator();
// create new instance of 'CMSValidator' class
$cmsValidator=new CMSValidator();
catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
As you can see from the above example, two aliases, called "BlogValidator" and "CMSValidator" respectively, have been linked to a couple of namespaces, which should be easy for you to follow. These aliases are tied to the aforementioned validation classes, which logically share the same "Validator" name. Simpler to code and read, right?
In this particular situation, I created a pair of validation objects to check the validity of user-supplied data, such as the user's full name, age and email address. In this way you can see clearly how the objects in question can be utilized independently.
So far, so good. Now that you hopefully grasped the logic that stands behind using namespace aliases, I think that it's time to explore a few additional features regarding the use of namespaces with PHP 5, since there are a couple of useful things that I'd like you to learn.
As you'll recall, all of the examples developed in the previous tutorials (and the current one, actually) used classes that were defined along with the scripts that utilized them. However, there's an important point that deserves a deeper analysis here. What happens if you want to include these classes via the "__autoload()" PHP magic function, as you've probably done before?
Or, to put the question more plainly: how can a class that's linked to a certain namespace be automatically included into a PHP script with "__autoload()"? Well, it's a pretty simple process really, even when it requires using a slightly special syntax.
Therefore, in the last section of this tutorial, I'll be explaining in detail how to work with namespaces and the "__autoload()" magic function. And additionally, you'll see how to link a simple PHP function to a specific namespace.
As usual, to learn how all of these tasks will be accomplished, you'll have to click on the link that appears below and read the next few lines.
{mospagebreak title=Autoloading classes and working with custom functions}
As I said in the previous section, the last two topics that I plan to discuss in this last part of this article are related to using namespaces with the "__autoload()" PHP magic function, and with regular functions as well.
First I'm going to show you a basic example of how to implement "__autoload()" when working with namespaced classes. Here's a simple implementation for this magic function:
// implements the __autoload() with namespaced classes
function __autoload($className){
eval("class $className {}");
throw new Exception('Source class not found!');
require_once $className.'.php';
If you develop PHP applications that include source classes via the "__autoload()" function, then the above example should be pretty easy to understand. As you can see, I implemented this function in a fairly basic way, so it can include a class that's been previously linked to a specific namespace.
The function, in this particular case, assumes that the class has been passed in the following form:
Thus, it first replaces the :: characters with a backslash, and then finishes its execution by attempting to load the class in question. Pretty simple to understand, right?
Now that I have quickly explained how to include a class that has been tied to a namespace, please take a look at this final example. It shows how to define and use two simple PHP functions, where the first one is linked to a sample "MyOffice" namespace:
namespace MyOffice
// define function within the 'MyOffice' namespace
function displayNameSpace(){
return 'calling function from MyOffice namespace!';
// define function in the global namespace
function displayNameSpace(){
return 'calling function from the global namespace!';
echo MyOffice::displayNameSpace();
// displays 'calling function from MyOffice namespace!'
echo displayNameSpace();
// displays 'calling function from the global namespace!'
Indeed, this last example is very simple to follow, trust me. As you can see, first a trivial "displayNameSpace()" function is linked to a "MyOffice" namespace, and then another function that has the same name is declared in the global namespace. Since these functions are actually different, they'll also generate distinct outputs.
The following code snippet clearly demonstrates this process:
echo MyOffice::displayNameSpace();
// displays 'calling function from MyOffice namespace!'
echo displayNameSpace();
// displays 'calling function from the global namespace!'
With this last code sample, I'm finishing this introduction to using namespaces with PHP 5. Please keep in mind that all of the code samples shown in this group of tutorials will work (hopefully) with PHP 5.3, and not with earlier versions.
Final thoughts
Sad but true, this is the end of the series. I hope that all the material included in these articles will help you grasp more quickly how to utilize namespaces with PHP 5. Indeed, they can be quite useful for solving naming conflicts between classes and functions, something that might occur incidentally when the development of a PHP application is tackled by several programmers.
See you in the next PHP development tutorial!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT men's tennis team swept the doubles matches and won the top three singles matches en route to a 6-3 victory over Brandeis University on Saturday. With the win, the Engineers improved to 2-0 on the year while the Judges dropped their first contest of the season.
The No. 3 doubles team of Melvin Makhni and Colin Klick defeated Adam Ciminello and Cliff Silverman, 8-2, for MIT's first victory of the day. David Iba and Mark Egan collaborated for an 8-5 decision over Adam Sher and Scott Schulman in the No. 2 slot. Thomas Dohlman and Eric Beren wrapped up doubles play by posting an 8-4 win in the top spot versus Sam Jonas and Jordan Bieber.
Dohlman extended the Engineers' lead to 4-0 following a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Jonas. Egan clinched the match with a 6-3, 7-5 decision against Bieber in the No. 3 position. Silverman put Brandeis on the board following a 6-1, 6-4 win over Peden Nichols. MIT notched its last victory of the day in the No. 2 singles slot when Beren defeated Sher, 6-5, 7-6 (5).
The Judges closed the gap by winning the No. 5 and No. 6 matches in the super-tiebreaker. Klick recorded a 6-2 score in the first set, but Schulman answered with a win of his own by the same margin. He then outlasted Klick, 10-7, to earn the No. 5 singles victory. In the final match of the day, Derek Tesser posted a 6-4 decision in the opening set, but MIT's Manuel Rivera won the second set, 6-3. Tesser bounced back to register a score of 10-6 in the super-tiebreaker.
Next up for MIT will be a home match against Gordon College on Monday, March 5 while Brandeis will face Connecticut College and Middlebury College next Saturday in Middlebury, Vt.

This article, entitled Parenting Resolutions comes from Erin Ferris at Chasing Roots.
The middle and end of January isn't too late to commit to New Year's Resolutions, right?
I start thinking about my New Year's Resolutions in early December, so by the time January 1st rolls around, I usually have a pretty good idea about what I will try to do less of, do more of, and improve upon in the coming year.
This year I broke my resolutions down into four categories: Professional, Physical Health and Wellness, Relationship Development, and Fun. Though I did include one kid-related resolution in Relationship Development, a category devoted solely to parenting is noticeably and purposely missing.
I can't exactly pinpoint why I went this route; being a parent has been a significant – if not dominant – part of who I am for the last 6+ years, and making choices that guide me down the road to becoming a better parent is never far from my mind. Perhaps my reason for segregating my personal and parenting resolutions is that combining the two would result in too daunting of a list – I mean, there are A LOT of ways in which I'd like to improve my parenting.
Starting with…
Spend more time with each of my children on his/her own.
Because my daughter is younger and in school less than my son, I spend more hours with her on her own than I do with her older brother. But those hours are almost always spent running errands, grocery shopping, and cleaning the house – hardly activities she would consider fun. I'd like to set aside at least a couple of hours a month to spend with each child, by themselves, doing something they choose.
Help both of my children expand their palates.
I hate to say it, but mealtime is a complete chore in our house. My son has always been a good eater, but because he spent the first six years of his life dealing with a plethora of food allergies, he has always been leery (rightfully so) of new foods. He's now outgrown all but one of his food allergies though, so my goal is to slowly introduce the previously forbidden foods into his diet so that he won't forever "fear" them.
My daughter, on the other hand, is allergic to nothing but also eats nothing. Her calories come primarily from four foods, so this year I resolve to double the number of foods she'll eat from four to eight. Accomplishing this feat may be the hardest thing I do all year.
Eat dinner with my children more often.
I sit down with my kids while they eat dinner, but because my husband often works late, I frequently wait and eat dinner with him after the kids go to bed. I know I should actually EAT with the kids more often, and I'm hopeful that doing so will help me accomplish the above-mentioned resolution of increasing the number of foods my daughter will eat…perhaps watching me enjoy asparagus spears and pork chops will encourage her to eat more and complain less.
Adventure outside of our "comfort zone".
The city in which we live is not huge, but it's certainly not small either – the population of our "metropolitan area" is approximately 175,000 people and during the school year we add 50,000 college students to the mix. There's plenty for my kids to do, primarily because they like consistency and hardly ever feel the need to visit new places and try new things. So because the kids never ask to go anywhere beyond our city's boundaries, we don't. And that's starting to wear on my husband and me a little.
We live less than two hours from two major cities, three hours from a third major city, and four hours from a fourth major city – cities with zoos and aquariums and museums and sporting venues and restaurants that put the few options for entertainment and dining in our area to shame. It's time to put in the extra effort required to take our family to these cities and experience what they have to offer…if not for the kids, than for the adults.
Teach my daughter to read.
She's still young so I'm not at all stressed about accomplishing this resolution, but I can see that she's frustrated watching her brother excel at something she can't yet do. I realize that this is often the case for younger siblings and is an important part of growing up, but whenever I can help my little one step up her game and give her brother a run for his money, I like to do so.
Lose my cool less.
I know when it's coming. I know that the refusal to get up for preschool + the spilled orange juice at breakfast + the tantrum at the grocery store + the lost coat at kindergarten + the constant sibling poking/prodding/biting/hitting = a mom standing dangerously close to her breaking point. What I need to learn is how – when I know that one more eye roll or whine will be the end of me – to walk away. How to put myself in a timeout, behind a closed (and preferably locked) door with a funny sitcom or a good book, until I've once again found my cool.
Play more.
Playing with my kids – actually sitting down on the carpet and playing with toys – is hard for me. I'm decent at board games and I love to color, but when it comes to building with Legos and blocks, battling action figures, and dressing up Barbie Dolls I lose interest very quickly. Throw into the mix the fact that I don't have a lot of spare time for playing and that when I do play, my kids think I play "wrong" (apparently it's not acceptable for Batman to borrow the Little People school bus or for Strawberry Shortcake to ride to her birthday party on a Playmobile wolf), and it's no wonder that most of the time I just let the kids play by themselves.
I can do better though. I need to get in on the action a little more: pull on my scrub cap and play doctor, go shopping in the kids' roughly assembled playroom grocery store, and let those Bey Blades rip. I've suddenly – as in right now, while typing this post – come to the realization that in a few short years my children will want nothing to do with me. At some point they won't want to play with me anymore, and if I don't start playing now, I will ALWAYS regret that I didn't take advantage of the years when they still considered me cool enough to be a part of their games. Even if I don't play right.
How about you? What are your parenting resolutions for 2013?

If there was ever a word so god damn awful it's guaranteed to send a shudder down your spine it is the dreaded p-word – prohibition *a wolf howls in the background and you get the feeling you are being followed by a man with an axe*.
This was the boozeless condition that afflicted the United States of America for thirteen parched years thanks to the tireless campaigning of the American Temperance Movement.
The Movement advocated the 'Noble Experiment' to save society from the horrors of alcohol abuse throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and they succeeded in 1920 with the 18th Amendment to the Constitution and the Volstead Act which completely banned the sale of alcohol in the U.S.A.
This led to a decade and three years of corruption and violence across America as mobsters and moonshiners sought to bring alcohol illicitly to the understandably thirsty public before the Amendment was finally repealed in 1933.

Missing Melbourne woman Katie Dircks has been found alive in Tasmania, police say.
The 30-year playwright and Melbourne Theatre Company employee had been last seen on Friday night leaving work in South Melbourne.
Friends and family had flooded social media with pleas for help to find Ms Dircks over the weekend when she did not arrive home.
In a short statement Monday evening Victorian police said: "Elwood woman Katie Dircks has been located safe and well this afternoon. Investigators would like to thank members of the public and the media for their assistance."
The development was followed by news that a Werribee woman missing since last Wednesday had been spotted on CCTV footage at a shopping centre in Melbourne's west.
Police revealed Sandra Pevitt, 45, withdrew money from her bank account at the Wyndham Village Shopping Centre on Sayers Road, Tarneit on Friday. She was apparently on her own.
Ms Pevitt last spoke to her partner Paul Czech at her Werribee home about 8.30am on November 7, but has not made contact with any other family members or workmates. Mr Czech said the disappearance was out of character.

The last seven months have been a whirlwind for John Connolly, the three-term city councilor who now finds himself one step closer to becoming mayor of the city where he has lived almost all his life.
Once considered a daring council member gone rogue, he was the first candidate to jump into the race and the only one to declare his intentions before Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the 20-year incumbent, announced he would not seek a sixth term.
"I got in this race at a time when I thought I would be squaring off with Mayor Menino," Connolly told a crowded ballroom at a campaign rally this month. "We are a better city for 20 years of his leadership . . . but at the same time, as we move into the future, we will face new challenges."
Pushing a message of stronger schools for every Boston child while often remaining lighthearted and self-deprecating on the campaign trail, Connolly sat at or near the top of every poll conducted during the preliminary race.
Connolly, 40, was born and raised in Roslindale, the neighborhood where his father Michael served as a state representative.
His family life, from an early age, was entrenched in state politics.
Connolly's father went on to serve 16 years as secretary of the Commonwealth, while his mother, Lynda, was chief justice of the state's district courts for eight years.
His uncle, James Michael Connolly, was a prominent Republican fund-raiser.
"I may have been the only kid who aspired to be secretary of state," Connolly told the Boston Globe in 2005, during his first, unsuccessful run for City Council. "I wanted to be like my dad."
A scholar-athlete at Roxbury Latin, he went on to Harvard, class of 1995, where he played football for two years.
He spent two years after graduation teaching at the Nativity Mission School, a Jesuit-run middle school for poor, mostly Hispanic boys on New York's Lower East Side.
After two school years at Nativity, he taught at Boston Renaissance Charter School, before leaving teaching to attend Boston College Law School and becoming a practicing lawyer in 2001.
Despite his relatively brief tenure in the classroom, Connolly has trumpeted his years as a teacher on the campaign trail, not only during the mayoral race but also during every single municipal campaign he has run.
He first ran for one of the council's four citywide seats in 2005, but, after making the eight-candidate general election, was not one of the top four vote-getters.
Connolly ran again two years later, securing the council seat he has held since.
Connolly has not shied from a fight during his time on the council, clashing at times with Menino, former school superintendent Carol R. Johnson, and the Boston Teachers Union.
Those skirmishes endeared Connolly to troves of supporters — many of whom are Boston public school parents — but also gave rise to a vocal group of political opponents including teachers union members, Menino supporters, and some fellow City Hall insiders.
As a mayoral candidate, Connolly began and ended every appearance by focusing on education as he made appearances across the city at elementary schools, senior centers, and more than 100 neighborhood house parties hosted by supporters. On Tuesday night, he expanded on that.
"We think the future starts with our schools," he said, "but it connects to the need for safe streets, healthy neighborhoods, and good jobs — and that's what this campaign is all about."Wesley Lowery can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @WesleyLowery.

Thierry Mugler is a French fashion designer and creator of several perfumes, who started his career aged 26 and in 1973 created his first personal collection. His style is instantly recognizable: structured elegance and accentuated shoulders. He designed a new feminine silhouette where shapes and curves are accentuated by the strictness of the cut. "The prophet of Futurism", as he has been referred to, Thierry Mugler is an instinctive designer who never looks for inspiration, who strongly feels that his clothing is 'modernistic' and not 'futuristic'.

ST. CHARLES – A two-week traffic safety campaign that ended Tuesday yielded three DUI arrests, the St. Charles Police Department announced Friday. Officers also issued five citations for safety-belt violations, five citations for uninsured motorists, 11 speeding tickets and one citation for other violations. Seventeen warnings also were given for various violations.
The safety campaign was done in cooperation with and funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation. It was part of a statewide program to reduce traffic fatalities.

Chances are if you think it is a perfect day to go to the beach, so does everyone else. This Valentines I went out with Meghan for some cycling along the coast from Santa Monica and Malibu and back. As is typical when the weather is perfect after a long spell of cold and gloomy, everyone dumps into the beaches, and the holidays made for extra kindling on the fire. Crossing the 10 freeway bridge at 11th I could see bumper to bumper traffic coming west as far as the eye could see. By early evening on our return, the same level of bumper to bumper traffic was still visible coming West, but then there was even more traffic moving East leaving the beach at the end of the day. All of Santa Monica West of Lincoln, and especially Lincoln Blvd. it self were choked with traffic. Save your self a headache and avoid the mess.
Here are a few ways to avoid wanting to punch your self repeatedly in the face and slam your dashboard. Yes the West Side is lacking train transportation, something on it's way to being fixed, but there a number of bus lines that make there way over here too. Yes taking the bus can be slow at times, mainly because our lack of bus lanes and over abundance of cars choking the streets, but while the bus may be slow, it costs next to nothing and frees you from having to deal with the rat race. You can chill out and read a book or just zone out and stare out the window and watch all the suckers honking at each other. Once you get to the beach, there is no spending 20 minutes prowling for a coveted parking space while fighting off other honking competitors, so maybe it's not as slow as you think.
If you're within a 5-10 mile radius of the beach, consider riding a bike. Opt for smaller local streets and you can avoid the chaos of most of the beach going drivers. When traffic gets backed up for blocks, and drivers faces look exasperated and hopeless, you can keep rolling, which is an incredibly liberating feeling. A bike is also a great way to enjoy a day at the beach once you get there, along our beautiful beach bike path. Just don't get in a hurry because joggers and folks with strollers means it's slow going.
If you're really far out of the way, and you just can't fathom the string of transit connections it would take to get here, feeling that a car is the only way, than perhaps consider driving part way and mixing transit. If you drive and park close to a direct transit stop or find someplace close enough to bike the rest of the way, you can save your self the worst of the headaches. Getting into the Santa Monica beaches on popular days, the traffic is sort of on an exponential curve, it gets multiple times worse the closer you get, with the absolute worst traffic just a few blocks away once you get past Lincoln Blvd. On peak days, getting a few blocks from Lincoln. Blvd to an open beach side parking spot will take you nearly as long as driving from Downtown LA to Santa Monica.
Also consider that even at times when traffic is not as bad coming in West during a nice beach day, it will almost assuredly be terrible on the trip home. While people trickle into the beaches all day long, nearly everyone leaves at the same time, when the sun is setting. So if you really want to go to the beach and have a relaxing day from beginning to end, driving is almost out of the question. That is unless you're at the beach when it is cold and foggy, which seems to have an amazingly calming effect on West Side traffic.
As a local, I find it simultaneously depressing and rather comical how people get in a furious rage to try and hurry up and go relax. If a gap opens in traffic, people will screech the tires to move up even if stopping suddenly again is a forgone conclusion. I live close enough to the 10 freeway, I can hear it's faint rumble from our balcony, and all afternoon I could hear a cacophony of horn honking, not that it will do anything when traffic is not moving. If you are going to drive, for your own safety and sanity, and the safety and sanity of others, chill out. It's a day at the beach, not your morning commute, no one is going to scold you if you don't pitch your towel on time.
Some Handy Links:
- Santa Monica Bike Map (Insider Tip: Ignore the fact that Lincoln Blvd. is listed as a bike route, it is the one of the worst streets to ride as a cyclist in Los Angeles County)
- Metro (Official Website of L.A. public transportation)
- Big Blue Bus (Official Website of Santa Monica public transit. They are a bit behind the times, and data not yet on Google Transit. However if you use the Metro Trip planner, both Metro and BBB buses are used to calculate routes)

Genery Booster and Geoffrey Shamos are "laid-back and relaxed," says the bride, and more than anything, they wanted their wedding to reflect that. So when their event designer, 2004 Modern Bride Trendsetter Sasha Souza, showed them Dunfillan Ruins at Kunde Estate Winery & Vineyard in Kenwood, CA, they fell in love with its casual elegance.
In keeping with the winery's organic feel, the pair didn't want the decor for their August 5, 2006, Sonoma Valley affair to look overly contrived. So Souza draped the ceremony site with swaths of eucalyptus garland and tasseled herbs that appeared to be growing on the stone, and scattered cream-colored petals to form an aisle runner. She also stacked the programs on a wine barrel and chilled drinks over ice in mini claw-foot bathtubs. Similarly, the bride's bouquet of grasses accented with orange blossoms and kumquat "looked like I ran through a field and gathered it," Genery says.
The couple included aromatic herbs in each unique reception centerpiece because they remind Genery of her mother's garden. They served all farm-fresh foods—golden beet Napoleons, Dungeness crab salad crisps, free-range chicken with mesquite veggies—and Geoffrey, an art history graduate student, requested that the cake's icing look naturally distressed.
After the sun set, guests kept warm by lounging on pillows around a fire pit. Others boogied to a bluegrass band (Genery's father played along on his violin) and later, to a DJ, on an amber-and-gold light-dappled dance floor. Made to resemble the moon's reflection through the trees, it was a fitting image for a wedding so in harmony with nature. —Elaine Stuart
Learn from Genery and Geoffrey
Let the site inspire your ceremony: The couple chose special readings that complemented their serene setting—a quote from Rainer Maria Rilke, an Apache blessing and an excerpt from the ancient Chinese text, the I Ching.
Honor the absent: Genery and Geoffrey wore Maili leis at dinner, gifts from the bride's Hawaiian family members who were unable to attend.
Gab while you groove: Instead of spending the night circulating among her guests, Genery planted herself firmly on the dance floor and found that friends and family followed. "I made them come out to see me!" she says.
Be open to an after-party: The vineyard required that the wedding end by 10 p.m., so the couple bused guests to a nearby pub to continue celebrating.

William Wharton Smith, 93
William Wharton Smith ("Bill"), 93, a retired engineer, philanthropist, and Quaker died quietly in his sleep at his home on Pennsylvania Avenue in the early morning hours of Monday, Dec. 19, 2005.
Mr. Smith came from a long line of early Quaker settlers in New England and the Delaware River valley. His father's family, prominent in the Philadelphia area, was involved in the founding of Haverford
College, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith's mother, Dorothea Atwater, was a daughter of Richard Mead Atwater, a
prominent glassmaking chemist. Mr. Smith was born on March 1, 1912 in Philadelphia and attended Germantown Friends School and Haverford College (Class of 1934). After graduating from Haverford College, he obtained master's degrees in chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, and moved into a job designing and producing batteries at Electric Storage Battery Company (Exide) in Philadelphia. He was trusted with international liaison and made many work-related trips to Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. For several years, he managed the former Edison battery plant in West Orange, N.J. Near the end of his career he headed the research division of Exide and became a patent attorney.
Many of his early summers were spent along the shorefront of Newport, where his family had descended from Quaker Thomas Robinson. He learned woodand metal-working from his father, building as a teen a fully working model of a steam boat, and was an avid sailor in Narragansett Bay. He was predeceased by his five siblings, Sarah Anne Greene Smith, Esther Fisher Benson, Anne Hodgkin, Deborah Lutman Paul, and Edward Wanton Smith Jr. All spent many years living in Jamestown and Newport.
In 1943, Mr. Smith married Dorothy Gilpin Waring, a fellow Quaker with family roots in Philadelphia and Jamestown, settling in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, Pa. Together they raised four children, all members in Germantown Friends Meeting. The family summered in Jamestown and maintained memberships in the Conanicut Yacht Club and the Dumplings Association. They were avid sailors, owning an original Herreshoff 12 day sailer.
Mr. Smith pursued hobbies passionately, commissioning a 35foot lapstrake mahogany steam launch, then installing an original Navy compound steam engine powered by a steam system of his own design. He salvaged a flagpole from the yacht club broken in a hurricane, repaired it, and installed it in his yard at Hull Cove as a lookout post. The family enjoyed swimming and sailing about the bay.
Mr. Smith's first wife died in 1969 and he married a second wife, Claire S. Shoemaker, in 1978, divorcing in 1999. He purchased the Pennsylvania Avenue property and retired to Jamestown in 1988, adding a workshop in the back yard where he could often be found building boats or repairing clocks. He maintained a membership in Providence Friends Meeting, and remained very active, swimming, boating, and refurbishing the Jamestown Meetinghouse well into his late 80s.
Bill Smith, who had an easy smile, humble manners, and quiet strength, is survived by his children, Marjorie W. Smith of Shoemakersville, Pa., William W. Smith III, of Jamestown R.I., Robert G. Smith, of Philadelphia, and Daphne F. Stone of Eugene, Ore., and five grandchildren.
Amemorial service will be held in the spring of 2006.

One of the first big decisions new Bills coach Doug Marrone is going to be in on will be at quarterback.
And he'll have some inside information on the proceedings, one way or another.
Marrone didn't shed much light on the status of incumbent starter Ryan Fitzpatrick during his introductory press conference.
"I haven't had the time to make those evaluations," Marrone said, via Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News. "I don't talk about players in the press. I'm looking forward to evaluating this time with our great scouting staff, getting to know them, and starting that process."
Of course, he can start much sooner, as he and Fitzpatrick share an agent, Jimmy Sexton.
It might be hard for Sexton to make both clients happy, as Fitzpatrick is due a $3 million roster bonus in March, and it's no sure thing that happens. Bills GM Buddy Nix was emphatic about drafting a quarterback this year, to the extent of advocating for trading up to get one.
"We covered that, just like we covered everything, but I don't think we emphasized that any more," Nix said when asked whether the quarterback situation came up during Marrone's interview.
One of the draftable quarterbacks they're looking at will be Ryan Nassib, a three-year starter for Marrone at Syracuse.
"I love him. He did an outstanding job for our football team. He's really grown in the last couple of years; he put a lot of emphasis on the leadership role and really took over the team. He's a player that has gotten quite a bit better during the year," Marrone said of Nassib, during an appearance on the NFL Network. "He's going to be playing in this league. I haven't studied the draft, I haven't gone through that; that's down the road for me as far as the process of what I have to go through. But I do know that he'll be in this league, so I'm excited for him."
Figuring out that position will be his first priority, and his connections with his agent and his college will at least give him a jump-start on the process.

In case you haven't heard, Garmin has come out with a new geocaching device called Chirp. And tonight I received my first inquiry from a geocacher about it. My response, based on guidance from Groundspeak (the company that operates Geoaching.com):
Any caches that use a Chirp (or any future similar device) should use the new "beacon" attribute. If you put a Chirp in a traditional cache and geocachers have an alternative method to find it without using the Chirp, then it's OK to be published. If for some reason you absolutely don't want to provide an alternative means of finding it, it must be listed as a "mystery" cache with the beacon attribute. Your cache description may mention the "Chirp"as long as the text doesn't go on and on with overtones of advertising, marketing, or promotion.

I'm looking forward to all the GPS mfg community making access to the chirps possible. I've placed one and anticipate much techno-enhanced fun as a result. Garmin users may want to download the latest firmware for Chirp searching access with their units.

Very interesting, I hadn't heard of these. This may mean I will have to update my GPSr to one of the newer versions.

When they file their returns this year, some Americans will get a medical bill with their tax bill.
Starting next January, the Affordable Care Act mandates that every American have health coverage, and those who remain uninsured will pay a penalty. The extent to which one is eligible for federal subsidies to buy insurance, and the penalties for failing to comply with the mandate, will both be determined using one number: the adjusted income reported to the Internal Revenue Service this year. "So much of the Affordable Care Act is being implemented through the tax code," says Kathy Pickering, executive director of the Tax Institute at H&R Block. And for many taxpayers, "their tax situation will factor into health-care decisions as well," she says.
The penalty, which was upheld as a tax by the Supreme Court in June, will vary per family based on their size and income. The fee starts at $95 per person next year, or 1% of household income above the minimum threshold for filing a tax return—whichever is greater. And the penalty is scheduled to increase each year to $695 per person in 2016, or 2.5% of income. (After that, the penalty will be adjusted each year for inflation.)
For a single person earning $50,000, the charge would start at $400 next year, estimates H&R Block. And for a family of four with two children and a household income of $100,000, foregoing insurance would add another $800 to their tax bill -- a sum that would be deducted from any refunds. (The penalty is cut in half for children.) The government will provide subsidies, which would cap how much families spend on insurance premiums to a portion of their income. These subsidies will be available to those earning incomes of up to 400% the poverty rate, which works out to roughly $45,000 for an individual, and $92,000 for a family of four. See H&R Block Health Care Estimator
To be sure, people who get health insurance through their employers or through a government program like Medicaid will not be impacted by the penalty. But those shopping for insurance on the individual market may still opt to pay the penalty, experts say. Annual health insurance premiums for people working at small firms averaged $5,600 for individuals and $15,200 for families in 2012, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. (Of course, the decision to remain uninsured could end up being far more expensive if individuals face unexpected medical emergencies.)
In order to avoid the penalty, taxpayers will need to buy the minimum amount of health insurance required under the health-care law. One way to meet that amount is to purchase a plan offered in the individual insurance exchanges being set up by health-care reform, where individuals or small-business employees can shop for health coverage—possibly with the help of federal subsidies. Levels of coverage will vary, and some plans will have to offer essential benefits including hospital, emergency, pediatric benefits and other services. Dental-only plans, for example, won't be enough to avoid the penalty.
Tax preparers say clients are already asking questions about how health-care reform will impact their tax bills—and vice versa. At H&R Block, preparers are calculating what a taxpayer's insurance costs might be by using their returns to estimate the federal subsidy they might receive. They're also talking to families about what penalty they would have to pay over the years if they decide not to buy insurance. Mark Steber, chief tax officer for Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, says they are fielding questions from taxpayers on the penalty and how insurance subsidies will work, and that the firm is evaluating if it will add a health-care component to its tax prep services.

Christa McAuliffe PTO v. de Blasio
Feeling that New York City's eight specialized high schools contain too many Asian students, Mayor Bill de Blasio is changing an admissions program to limit the ability of students to get into predominately Asian-American schools. However, his so-called racial balancing effort will squeeze out Asian students—nearly three-quarters of whom come from low-income families. On behalf of Yi Fang and a number of Asian-American parents, the Asian-American Coalition for Education, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York, and the Christa McAuliffe Parent Teacher Organization, the plaintiff filed a federal lawsuit challenging the mayor's unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.Read more

ABC Affiliates Blocked From Interviewing Johnny Depp Because He Is Promoting A Film Not Produced By Disney
from the taking-the-ball-and-going-home dept
Otm Shank writes in to let us know that the Austin based KVUE, an ABC affiliate not owned by Disney, attended a premiere of Depp's new movie The Rum Diary but was not allowed to interview him. As pointed out by TVSpy, KVUE reporter Shelton Green said:
We came here expecting to talk with one of the biggest names in Hollywood. But apparently Disney doesn't want Johnny Depp's new movie, premiering here at the Paramount, to get more exposure than his newest 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie. So they didn't allow us to interview him, nor did they allow us to get video of him.Is there really a point to this embargo? I don't think so. By enforcing this embargo on ABC affiliates, Disney is not helping to promote its films, but is rather forcing these local stations to lose value with their viewers. Which do you think most viewers and fans of Johnny Depp want to watch, a report about not being able to interview Johnny Depp or an interview with Johnny Depp? I guess Disney doesn't care about the fans of the actors they work so hard to 'protect'.

This past weekend I was in Toledo attending the Ohio Genealogical Society's annual conference. I had a lot of fun and learned a ton. Here's my story:
My husband and I arrived in Toledo and found the parking garage (always on the 4th side of the building). We ended up in the conference center instead of the hotel first, so I decided to get my conference materials first. On they way we saw Curt Witcher, the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center's manager, and we said hello. (I still think it's funny that he knows me. I guess I spend too much time at ACPL.) There was no line at the registration desk and I just had to for the next person available. It was quick and easy and I never saw a line there during the entire conference.
We checked into the hotel and while heading to the elevators I spotted "The Genealogy Guys". We ended up riding with them in the elevator and chatted about my email I had sent them about Ancestry's image problem. Another listener let them know that she had found the same problem in different states. I'm glad that I am not alone and that Ancestry is addressing the problem.
Then we went to find food. Which would have been easier had anything in Toledo been open past 5:30. (To be honest I'm sure that some places were open, but we were too hungry to waste time.) So we went back and ate at the hotel's restaurant. Then we went to bed because we were both exhausted from work and travel.
The opening session was by Curt who presented "This I Believe: The Urgent Need to Record Living History." It was a great presentation. My favorite part was when Curt described the letter that his father in law wrote with his siblings. It was a perpetual letter where they each took turns writing about their earliest memories. It ended up being 37 pages long. What a family treasure to have! I would love to get my aunts and uncles to do this.
Then I attended "Unusual Ohio Courthouse Records" by Jana Sloan Broglin. When you see "wolf scalp" and "bicycle license" in the syllabus, you can't pass by this presentation.
Then it was time for lunch. My husband had already gone out and gotten sandwiches. Which was nice because it left me more time for my afternoon nap.
In the afternoon, I attended 3 more presentations. First was "Researching Your Civil War Ancestor: A Comprehensive Study" by civil war reenactor Michael L. Strauss. When you see your presenter enter the room in full civil war gear, you know you are in for a treat. I was not disappointed. Then I attended Laura Prescott's lecture "Pioneer Women on the Midwestern Frontier." I only wish that I could find the same information on my ancestor's journeys. Finally it was time for "Finding Buried Treasure in the Pennsylvania Archives" with Elissa Scalise Powell. I think this summer I will start diving into these records and finding my colonial Pennsylvania ancestors.
Then it was time for dinner, which my husband had picked up (to make sure we had food before everything closed at 5:30). I have to say that bring a non genealogist with you was a wonderful bonus for me. I didn't have to worry about getting food the entire conference!
At 7:00, there was an "Ask The Experts" session. Many questions were asked by attendees of the conference speakers. Everyone was having a blast either in the audience or on stage. It was fun to see the experts add to each others' knowledge or correct each other. The only bad part was that I had to miss "Who Do You Think You Are?" My husband complained about how a genealogy society could schedule an event during a genealogy television show.
Then it was time for bed again. Why are conferences so exhausting?
Tomorrow I will wrap up the final day of the conference and then share some of what I learned about conference going and organization.

An offender who was caught with cannabis in his underwear has been given a 12 month conditional discharge after claiming he has stopped using the drug.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Monday how Timothy Bennett, 18, of Holborn View, Codnor, was found with cannabis after he was involved in a road traffic collision.
Prosecuting solicitor Becky Allsop said: "The circumstances are that the police came across a parked Volkswagen Polo car which was involved in an RTC in Youlgreave.
"Bennett was with the vehicle and police could smell cannabis.
"A small amount of cannabis was recovered from a package in Bennett's underwear.
"He made full admissions and said the drugs were his own for his personal use. Mr Bennett has no previous convictions but does have a caution for previously possessing cannabis."
Bennett pleaded guilty to possessing a quantity of cannabis after the RTC incident in December.
Bennett, who represented himself in court, said: "I am very sorry. I was a regular user but I have not touched cannabis since the car crash. This has been the first time I have come to court and I intend it to be the last time.
"I know in myself I will not do it again. I do not want to come here again."
Bennett has previously been given a caution in 2011 for possession of cannabis. Ms Allsop also submitted an application for the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs.
Magistrates sentenced Bennett to a 12 month conditional discharge but warned that if he commits another offence he will be brought back to court to be sentenced and dealt with for both offences.
Bennett was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

Usher's New Look (UNL)—a national, youth-oriented nonprofit organization based in the United States—wanted to engage its alumni and volunteers to better coordinate various development programs for underprivileged youth. With Accenture's help, UNL was able to develop an online platform to strategically engage its program alumni and volunteers in developing today's youth into global leaders.
UNL is dedicated to engaging underprivileged youth in four leadership pillars—talent, education, career and service. Volunteers help support UNL's mission and facilitate opportunities for youth, to help them identify their unique talents, hone in on education, explore career opportunities and give back to others.
Since its inception, UNL has been transforming the lives of today's youth as they progress from the eighth grade through college. The results speak for themselves: 100 percent of its youth participants graduated from the program, and 98 percent went (or have gone) on to higher education.

Moussa naby.. Eissa naby.. Mahammad naby..
we kol men loh naby yessaly 3aleih.
Why do people tend to idolize their prophets and raise them upto a superhuman level? Muslims overdo it, Christians way overdo it, and Jews just abandon their prophet and worship a hollow statue.
I was at that religion lesson at a friend's home once and the sheikh asked the attendants if they did their homework. I thought to myself, that's interesting, he's giving them religious exercises, I'm getting excited. Then the guy goes around asking each one how many times they prayed on the prophet during the last week. Those who didn't say the prayers failed, those who did 500 times in one day and stopped failed, and only those who did it frequently on a daily basis passed. I was astonished. These are highly educated people, some received their PhDs from the States and they are apologizing to the sheikh for not praying on the prophet 100 times a day! Is this what we've reduced our religion to? Is this the best religious exercise they could come up with? Are we to elevate the prophet to a godly status to feel better about ourselves as Muslims, that we are special.
Muhammad is a messenger, Jesus is a messenger, Moses is a messenger. All messengers with one message, from one God, and no god but God.

Indonesia's influential Bakrie family warned on Monday that it could rethink its proposed exit from Bumi, a coal venture it co-founded with Nat Rothschild, if the financier pursues a planned return to the board.
A Bakrie decision to dig in as a result of changes proposed by Rothschild and his supporters could delay efforts by the coal company's board - and by the financier himself - to split with the Indonesian family and start afresh.
The former partners have been at loggerheads for months in a bitter battle over the group and its future, exacerbated by a legal inquiry into wrongdoing at the Indonesian operations, telephone-hacking allegations and tumbling coal prices.
The Bakries said in October they planned to draw a line under their London venture, which began in 2010 with the aim of bringing promising Indonesian mining assets to London investors. They said they would pull out of London-listed Bumi and tabled a proposal that would allow them to take back operational assets they brought in.
Nat Rothschild, however, hopes to keep Bumi alive and has sought to counter part of that plan.
Last week, Rothschild, scion of the European banking dynasty, called for a meeting to allow investors to vote on a plan to oust 12 of 14 board members. A proposed new board would include himself and be led by Wal King, the former boss of Australian contractor Leighton Holdings.
"(The Bakrie family) will seriously consider the withdrawal of its offer in the event that Mr. Rothschild follows through his proposal to change the board or indeed if the company fails to honour all obligations under the relationship agreement," the Bakries said in a statement on Monday.
Under the terms of the original 2010 deal, a "relationship agreement" allowed the Bakries to appoint key positions such as chief executive and chairman.
Current Chairman Samin Tan, a coal tycoon who came in a year ago when he invested $1 billion to pull the Bakries out of a debt crunch, has indicated he could step down.
Raising Stakes
Rothschild, who raised his holding in Bumi on Monday in a show of confidence, dismissed the Bakrie threat and pointed to the politically connected family's debt burden as proof they could not follow through. The 2010 relationship agreement, he said, would not stop shareholders from replacing the board.
(Watch Now: Bumi's Board Battle)
"The Bakries' threat to remain in occupation of the Bumi register if they do not get their way is juvenile in the extreme," a spokesman for NR Investments, Rothschild's vehicle, said in a statement.
"Threatening minority shareholders is not the right way to win their support in a British proxy vote - particularly when the Bakries' shares in the Plc are, in any case, held as security against their debts by their lenders."
All sides, including Bumi's board, agree the Bakries should carry out the first stage of their dissolution plan, which involves exiting their shareholding and taking a minority stake in miner Bumi Resources held by Bumi. That would be partly in exchange for their Bumi shares.
The Bakries, together with Samin Tan, hold just under 30 percent of the voting rights of Bumi. NR Investments, after Monday's increase, holds 14.8 percent of voting shares.
Nat Rothschild's proposal, set to be detailed to more institutional investors this week in a charm offensive to increase support, is backed by shareholders, including Schroders and Taube Hodson Stonex (THS) Partners, two of the top institutional investors in the miner.
THS Partners fund manager Cato Stonex said the group, which owns around 2 percent of Bumi, currently supports the Rothschild plan for improved corporate governance and hopes to "depersonalize" the situation at Bumi.
"We are very grateful to the independent directors who stabilise the position and (pursue) our interests ... but as far as coming up with a new plan, there will come a time when we need a new board," Stonex said, adding that Rothschild's proposed directors were "a decent bunch."
