LA-005/DS-036 Ali Birra - Ammalele
With the western world's recent access to the Ethiopian music of the 1970's, the focus has been almost solely on the Amhara music of Addis Ababa. The Oromo people, the largest ethnic group, hasn't been equally represented. Ali Birra, the biggest Oromo star and a hero to his people was so beloved that he did break into the Amhara dominated record market. Learning how to play the guitar using the tuning for an oud, the sound is as much Arabic as Ethiopian. After two years singing in the Imperial Body Guard Band alongside Mahmoud Ahmed and Tilahun Gessesse, and a brief hiatus from music, he made these recordings backed up by the Aduu Birra Band. With a prevalent joy and catchy sing along style, Ali sings songs of love, misery, and beating the oppressor.

Since Microsoft is generally a bit bias toward Direct3D, would a scene using VBO's in Direct3D be faster than the same scene using VBO's in OpenGL, or would it be the same since it's up to the Graphics Card driver? Thanks
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Performance-wise, and assuming decent GPU drivers, there is no difference overall.
Some operations are inherently faster in OpenGL than in DirectX9, although DX10 remedied that.
But a good rule of thumb when working with external hardware is that it's not the API you're using that determines performance.
When writing network code, the bottleneck is the network adapter, and it doesn't matter if your socket code is written in .NET, plain Berkeley sockets in C, or perhaps using some Python library.
When writing code to use the GPU, the GPU is the limiting factor. The biggest difference between DirectX and OpenGL is that one might require a function call or two more than the other to achieve certain tasks -- and the performance cost of that is pretty much nonexistent. What happens on the GPU is the same in either case, because that's determined by your GPU driver, and because both OpenGL and DirectX try to be as efficient as possible.
There are valid reasons to prefer either API though.
DirectX has much better tool support. Microsoft does an extremely good job of that. Debugging and optimizing DirectX code is much easier with tools such as PIX. And Microsoft also provides the helper library D3DX which provides efficient implementations of a lot of commonly used functionality.
OpenGL has the advantage that it's not tied to a specific OS. DirectX9 only works on Windows. DX10 and above only works on Vista and above.
OpenGL works on any OS where an OpenGL driver has been written.
On Windows, the situation is sometimes a bit awkward though. Windows itself only comes with ancient implementations of OpenGL. (XP with v1.1, I believe, and Vista/7 with 1.5).
So OpenGL apps on Windows rely on the GPU vendor to provide an updated implementation with their drivers. ATI and NVidia do provide very good implementations, so it's not that much of a problem. Intel's OpenGL drivers are generally lagging behind, both in quality and in supported features.
See some related questions -
Microsoft is right now hugely biased towards Direct3D. Many low-end Intel integrated cards don't ship with OpenGL drivers by default, or if they do they only support older versions/specs of OpenGL like 1.2/1.4. If you are targeting such machines (Intel has a 50% graphics market share), it will be difficult to take advantage of the more advanced features like shaders (which became available in OpenGL 1.5). Whereas, you will be able to use similar shaders in Direct3D, because of the availability of better drivers for these low-end cards. Of course, with Direct3D works only on Windows.
If on the other hand you don't really need to use shaders you may go with either Direct3D or OpenGL. Although I would tend a bit more towards OpenGL. It is cross-platform and everyone supports it apart from Microsoft. Some things, like drawing lines (of various widths) are also much easier in OpenGL. OpenGL also has a picking mode built into it which is far more robust than ray picking (especially if you want to pick points and lines).
A third option is to use an abstract API or an existing engine which can render to both OpenGL and Direct3D.
It would generally be about the same. There was a time that DirectX had a distinct speed advantage over OpenGL, but for most practical purposes, that's ancient history.
You can try it out for yourself if you'd like. Ogre3D is a great 3D library where, when you start, you can choose if you want to use DirectX or OpenGL. If I remember correctly (it was 3-4 years since I used it) they had frame rate and other data even in their examples, where you can see which one is faster.
Actually, this really depends on the type of project you are doing.
If you ever want to port it to a different platform - don't use DirectX. If you want total control and a fast developing library on Windows, DirectX is the way to go. If you find a graphics engine with all the functionality you need - use it. It's easier than using plain DX or OpenGL, especially if it supports a tool chain (level editor, import of models from 3d modelers, ...).
If you want to learn DX, go for DX or SlimDX. If you want to learn OpenGL, go for OpenGL.
Use middleware. Ogre is good if you want something with a lot of features (loading 3D models and animations, etc). SDL is good if you just want a simple wrapper.
In answer to your actual question, it comes down totally to the drivers. And that varies between manufacturers. My understanding is that right now, GL is not well-supported by all the main companies (nVidia, ATI, Intel) which is a big issue.
Personally I'd use middleware, but lean on testing/developing mainly for D3D.
I would choose DirectX. It's improving and evolving rapidly- much faster than the OGL committee can move. Extension hell anyone?
Be warned GL drivers on Windows are generally pretty flakey and buggy. OEMs generally do very little work with GL driver under windows. Just enough to keep the latest id game working well. Which is a pain if you do things differently.
What you should do is write an abstratction layer between the 2 and implement both back ends. This gives you the best of both worlds. The stability of DirectX under windows and the cross platform-ness of OpenGL. It also gives you the huge advantage of being able to add some future rendering back end in there if you want.
Its also worth noting that X-Box and DirectX are different enough to mean you'd need a seperate back end for both platforms were you to attempt such a thing anyway.
Personally my engine supports DX9, DX10, Open GL3, OpenGL ES2.1 and I'm far happier to have the abstraction layer :)
Edit: As per the comments I would point out that the nVidia drivers ARE the least flakey windows OpenGL drivers. Pretty much every other manufacturer has problems. Even nVidia has a lot of problems. A lot of the time, in my experience, you end up battling against a driver where things "just work"(tm) with DirectX.
I used to use OpenGL, but for now im interested in exploring the world of DirectX. The cause is the release of DX11 which ends the long protracted war on Windows.
The Khronos Group soon released OpenGL 4 to fight back; sadly OGL4 still has half amount of new features missing or lagged behind; and some of them are vital in terms of creating a flexible 3d framework.

4 reviews | 5 out of 5
I researched this Tv and found that it is affordable and has almost everything I was looking for. I tried to get it on Black Friday at walmart but was unable since all of them were gone in the first 5 minutes of the store being opened. I went to Best Buy Saturday and they actually had the same exact TV (matched model number) and was selling it on Black Friday for only 1.00 more, after speaking to the sales person they were able to order it for me and would match the price 799.00. I was told that they would be getting more in soon, but the price was going up and they were not ordering anymore at the sales price after Saturday 11/29/08
and the 799.00 price was only for the Black Friday sale. Comparing the two Samsung Tv's they are almost identical and yes it is the 20k-30k and the Hdm 1-2
other then that the quality of the picture is the same. I was told you really couldn't tell the difference between the 20K-30K contract. So which ever TV you choice you will be getting a Great product. ENJOY !
Great picture and sound quality all around. I've hooked it up to an antenna, blue-ray player, and X-Box 360 and all provide superb 1080p viewing. Very easy set up, instructions for mounting on it's swivel base are in the middle of the users manual, a minor inconvenience. This TV was under $800 in the store. Hooked up to an antenna, it picked up several more DTV stations than my converter box with my old SDTV. At 40", this 1080p LCD doesn't look much better than a 720p around the same size (40"-42") unless you view it up close. Most people can't tell the difference on sets smaller than 42." But it's around this size that you want to look at getting a 1080p. For me, anything over 37" has to be 1080p. This set makes strange noise when you turn it off, can't figure out how to make it stop in the menu. Other than that, I love this TV. Blacks are very dark and colors are rich. They could probably look at Vizio's menu layout and take notes as the menu on this samsung has a learning curve. I tried plugging in the camcorder and found no side or front A/V jacks. Had to full the TV out to plug in.
So I spent almost a month trying to figure out which TV to buy. Come black friday after thx giving I knew would be the best time to buy a TV. From reading reviews, and specs, and everything, the samsung and sony seemed like the best option. I went to best buy and walmart to actually see what the tv looked like and picture on it. The samsung was so much nicer than the sony so I decided to go ahead and buy it on friday. I took it home, set it up within 5 minutes and was done. I don't have hd cable yet so the analog cable obviously didn't look amazing on the tv...but then I hooked up the xbox and was totally in awe as the true HD came to life....My room is now the entertainment room...all my friends come here to watch movies or play games. The sound is pretty amazing as well for a tv..i haven't even bothered setting up my home theater system since the sound is that good.
I looked online and at ads for weeks trying to get the best Tv for my money. I read several reviews about the Samsung & it seemed to have the least negative comments. It took me about 15 minutes to get it set up with Stereo Speakers, DVD and VCR. What a breeze! The picture quality is unbelievably clear and detailed. This TV is definitely worth the money. We live in the country with rabbit ears for antenna & get a great reception, even better than our old TV with the converter box. Great buy!

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) -- Attorneys will try to settle a lawsuit that demands O.J. Simpson's former manager hand over the suit the former football star was wearing when he was acquitted of murder.
A mandatory settlement conference is scheduled Monday morning in the chambers of a Santa Monica judge.
Fred Goldman is suing Simpson's former manager Mike Gilbert. He wants the suit Simpson wore in 1995 when he was found not guilty of killing his ex-wife and Goldman's son Ronald.
Goldman has been trying to take Simpson's possessions and sell them to satisfy a $33.5 million wrongful death lawsuit award.
At a hearing last year, Gilbert said the suit belongs to him and it's in storage.
Simpson is serving time in Nevada for robbery and kidnapping.

By taking advantage of large cell size of Chara corallina, we analyzed the membrane depolarization induced by decreased turgor pressure (Shimmen in J Plant Res 124:639–644, 2011). In the present study, the response to increased turgor pressure was analyzed. When internodes were incubated in media containing 200 mM dimethyl sulfoxide, their intracellular osmolality gradually increased and reached a steady level after about 3 h. Upon removal of dimethyl sulfoxide, turgor pressure quickly increased. In response to the increase in turgor pressure, the internodes generated a transient membrane depolarization at its nodal end. The refractory period was very long and it took about 2 h for full recovery after the depolarizing response. Involvement of protein synthesis in recovery from refractoriness was suggested, based on experiments using inhibitors.

Grate and simple
Really nice theme that makes building a bootstrap wp site quick and easy
With or without using the included LESS files, this theme is awesome. Danny gives excellent support!
I tested a lot of Bootstrap based themes made for WordPress. Most of them tried to be so "user friendly" that it tied my hands as a designer and I had to do a lot of workarounds strip out the parent theme styling that I didn't want or need.
DevDmBootstrap3 give me all the Bootstrap responsiveness & functioning that I want and only adds the most basic of styling. I have created a child theme that then strips out the little bit of styling I still don't want and I am left with a "blank canvas" from which to design. This saves me a lot of time and frustration.
Thank you very much for providing this theme in the WP repository!
Thank you so much!
I LOVE this theme/starter theme. How many themes out there have every support question answered?
Better yet, I asked the dev some questions and received a response within 20 minutes!
Here's what makes this theme so great:
1.) top notch support
3.) Nicely packaged, + ready-made child theme available on dev's website.
4.) Flexibility!
5.) Well documented - we even get a list of all the containers on a blank stylesheet (when using child theme) and a screenshot of where they are placed.
6.) Bootstrap :)
More, more, more... I have tried a TON of different themes. This is the one for me. Quite honestly I am surprised there are not more rave reviews (surely they'd be 5 stars, too). It's just exactly what I was looking for.
However, here's my caution to you, the potential downloader:
This was designed to be super lean. If you're looking for plug & play without doing any coding, this might not be a great choice for you. I wouldn't mind plugging and playing it (does look nice out of the box!), but if you want to customize it without doing any coding you're SOL. You could probably work it with a bootstrap plugin, but I have no experience doing that so don't take my word for it.
What I'd like to see added:
Page templates! Nothing fancy, just 1.) a no sidebar template and a 2.) a 1 sidebar template would do it for me. It's currently set up so that you choose to have no sidebars, one sidebar, or two sidebars (left and right of content). This is a bummer, because I don't want a sidebar on my homepage, but I do want one on my blog page. This 'problem' has been brought forth to the dev, but I don't believe we will see page templates implemented due to the 'lean as can be' nature of the theme.
The good news is that you can manually create a page template, so overall my one negative is essentially a moot point to most.
Thank you for taking the time and creating such a well document and easy to use theme.
Tired of using themes with all sorts of crap spit out in the html? This one is a great way for dev work without all the extra unneeded output.
Highly recommend this one!
After looking around for quite some time I found this excellent theme and I am starting to play with it now and so far I am impressed.
Just a question: how is that the several functions in functions.php are not surrounded by if(!function_exists(...?
I understand that this is a developers theme, but not being able to override just small bits of program will make it difficult to upgrade the parent theme without having to update the child as well. Two such cases I could spot are:
devdmbootstrap3_theme_stylesheets and
Anyway, I'll add the conditionals myself and try to remember it whenever there is an update ... unless there is another option that I am too dumb to see ...
Thanks for an excellent job!

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Fire officials told 13 News that crews saw flames coming out of the basement at 646 N.E. Chester when they arrived around 12:30 Tuesday morning.
Battalion Chief Martin Gray said the homes smoke alarms alerted the family members and they all got out without injury. He said fire crews contained the fire to the basement before it spread to the rest of the house. Firefighters reported the fire out around 1:10 a.m.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Shawnee County Dispatch said a total of nine units assisted with the fire and that the Red Cross was also on scene to assist the family.

I have done a lot of searching on this, and still cannot find the answer.
I have created a script which will bulk move all user objects in one OU to another OU. This works fine. Now I am trying to bulk change those users' Home Folder paths (and drive letter). So far, I can get the script to change the path/drive letter correctly, but I cannot get it to add the user's logon name to the end of the path (\server\share\username). The users' Home folders are named after their logon names. Normally, we would do this on an individual basis by just putting \server\share\%username% in the Home folder path in AD, but %username% does not seem to be an option with Powershell. If I add "%username%" to the end of the path, the AD path will look like this - \server\share\%username% (the user's name appears as "%username%", not their actual logon name). I have tried a number of ways to get this to work (variables, $_.SamAccountName, etc), but so far, no luck.
Here's my script, so far...
#This script will move objects from one OU to another and set AD Home folder path.
write-host "This script will move objects from one OU to another and set AD Home folder path." -ForegroundColor Magenta
start-sleep -s 2
#Global Variables
$global:path = "OU=users,OU=IT,"dc=contoso,dc=com"
$domain = "dc=contoso,dc=com"
# Operator Variables.
$rootOUsource = read-host "What is the SOURCE root OU name?"
$deptnamesource = read-host "What is the SOURCE department name?"
write-host "Retrieving user objects...." -ForegroundColor Magenta
start-sleep -s 1
#Retrieve object info.
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=$deptnamesource,OU=users,OU=$rootOUsource,$domain"
# Operator Variables.
$divnametarget = read-host "What is the TARGET division name?"
$deptnametarget = read-host "What is the TARGET department name?"
#Object/target variables
$users = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=$deptnamesource,OU=users,OU=$rootOUsource,$domain"
$targetOU = "OU=$deptnametarget,OU=$divnametarget,$path"
#Move object/s.
foreach ($user in $users) {
Move-ADObject $user -TargetPath $targetOU
#Set AD Home Folder path and create/permission folder.
$newusers = Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase $targetou
foreach ($newuser in $newusers) {
set-aduser $newuser -homedirectory "\\server\share\users\%username%" -homedrive H:
#Repeat process option.
write-host "All objects have been moved." -ForegroundColor Magenta
$choice = read-host "Do you want to move more objects?"
$choice = $choice.toupper()
while ($choice -eq "Y")
Is there a "replacement" for %username% that can be used generically for a bunch of users at once?

Tips & Tools for Heavy Photo Printer User
Photo printing has become a popular hobby now that most people have switched over to the easier to use digital cameras. However, if you love printing photos, you'll want to keep reading for tips and strategies that are going to help you save money and improve the look of your printed shots.
Ways to Save on Ink
As you are well aware, photo printing uses up a great deal of printer ink cartridges. However, there are some ways you can lower your ink use and save money as a result. Here are some of the top ideas:
• Multiple test shots on one page. Doing test prints is a good way to prevent wasted supplies but you can cut down on your ink and paper use if you shrink the shots and print multiple ones on a single page.
• Buy multiple cartridges. Buying in bulk can definitely save you money. Plus, you'll have the extra ink when you need it and won't have to run out to the store before finishing your print job
• Have printer ink supplies shipped. While you may not save on the ink itself, you will save on gas and time since you won't have to drive to your local store. Plus, shipping is often free for orders of a certain amount and ink costs usually guarantee you'll reach that level
Improve Quality of Prints
Obviously, you want your finished prints to look as good as possible. Follow these ideas to improve their look.
- Choose a high dpi printer. The dpi refers to the quality of the image that is produced by the printer. If you're going to be striving for photo quality prints then choose a printer capable of doing at least 600 X 600 dpi.
- Choose the right paper settings. When you set up your print options, you can usually select different types of paper. That does make a difference. The printer will use a different amount of ink when printing on plain paper and on glossy photo paper so always make sure to choose the right setting.
- Raise your print quality settings. If you want to save ink most of the time, adjust your setting to the lowest quality possible (usually called draft) but always shoot it to the highest setting when you're doing photo printing.
- Make sure to keep your printer well-maintained. Make sure to keep the printer you use calibrated, aligned, and cleaned to produce the best prints possible. Running routine maintenance every 90 days or when you notice a reduction in quality is a good way to keep the shots looking good.
Speed up Photo Printing
Photo printing can be a bit time consuming, especially if you are trying to print a large batch. The tips below can help expedite the process a little.
- Choose printers designed for photo printing. You'll find plenty of options on the market which are designed to do a great job printing photos. Do your research and look at the tested times for photo prints. You can find some that will do the job in less than 45 seconds instead of up to 3 minutes. That's a big difference.
- Keep batches small. Even the best printer will slow down if you keep sending more and more print jobs its way consecutively. Work in smaller batches and you'll be able to get things done without losing any time.
Keep Photos Looking Great
Lots of photo printers forget the ink on those shots needs to be given time to dry. If you want to keep them looking good, let them dry in the air for about 12 hours before you do anything else with them. Make sure you have a place where they can be undisturbed and save during that time.

I am moving and redesigning my site. On the new site, I've updated to the latest version of galleryview, and am having difficulty getting it to match the design of my current site, which uses galleryview v.1.0.1.
I've modified gallery-galleryview.php so that the filmstrip is on the top, and am working my way through the css. The problem I'm having is that want the panel overlay to be a permanent part of the design (as you can see at redberetdesign.com/portfolio/branding), not hidden until someone clicks the "i" graphic (as is currently at redberetdesign.wpengine.com/portfolio/branding).
How can I configure v.1.3 so that it matches my design on v.1.0.1?

I've been hacking away at the Category Shortcode plugin and have successfully added several new options. I've noticed, however, that the original code has an odd side effect, and while I haven't been able to fix it, I've been able to narrow it down to a specific function used in the plugin.
The "Edit," "Permalink," and "Trackback" links on the parent page are those for the last displayed child page, and not for the parent page. You can see it in action here:
You'll notice that the links at the bottom that should point to the "/shop" page are instead pointing to the "Wobblecog Necklace" post.
The problem *seems* to be with the
set_postdata() call (first used on line 94 in the original code). The surrounding code looks a bit like this:
90: global $post;
93: foreach($rdcsc_posts as $post) :
94: setup_postdata($post);
95: $rdcsc_excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
I've tried renaming certain variables or using different template tags, but nothing so far has worked. Here's where I hope you lovely folks come in! :) Is there a way to fix this problem?

Release Date:
June 24, 2008
Sam Sparro's debut album shows he was influenced by Prince (especially the tracks "Hot Mess" and the penultimate song "Clingwrap") and Stevie Wonder. With a modern electro-funk beat running through most of the songs, however, it would not disappoint Scissor Sisters fans either (although it may not be quite camp enough). Leading off with "Too Many Questions," a midtempo RB song with an unmemorable melody, he immediately launches into the big hit single, the brooding "Black and Gold." He may be billed as a future soul star, but one wonders if he was trying to sound like Bernard Sumner of New Order on the track "Sick," which had a New Order-style electro backing. (Not to mention "Waiting for Time" and "Recycle It," with their early-'80s video-game bleeps .) "Listening to Cottonmouth" brought to mind the swishing beat of Imagination, the early-'80s pop-funk band, especially their songs "Just an Illusion" and "Body Talk," but without the ethereal qualities of those 1980s classics. "21st Century Life," "Pocket" and "Cut Me Loose" were straightforward disco pop songs without much to distinguish them. After awhile the tracks all begin to sound the same, a simple disco beat with Seal-style RB vocals -- no bad thing but nothing much original and nothing to come close to the single "Black and Gold." There was a hidden track on the album, after over three minutes of silence following the final song "Cant Stop This," a tinkling piano ballad, "Still Hungry" faded in. The change of pace actually made a pleasant change and it was one of the better songs on the album. [Universal issued a bonus track edition in 2008 as well.] Sharon Mawer, All Music Guide

To Respond or Not Respond
In today's world of social media, reviews and comments can make or break a business. The internet savvy consumer knows where to go to find an evaluation of a restaurant, retail store and even a professional such as doctors and specialists. "Know before you go" has never been more applicable than it is in this connected world.
Summer is getting close and it may be time to get on the road or catch a flight to start your vacation. There are some excellent smart phone apps "not to leave home without". From airfare and lodging, to weather and emergencies..there's an app for that.
Here are a few, but there are many more to choose from.
Think Twice Before You Hit Reply

What's Your Next Step with Email?
Are you outgrowing your free email account or is it time to stop pouring money into an old Exchange server? As I'm sure you will guess, yes we recommend that you choose to use a hosted Exchange provider but there's a lot more to discuss once that decision is made. You first need to figure out what your needs are and then you'll need to research which company is right for you.

Jim Cramer proclaims the oil tanker business could be on the verge of a renaissance, and his favorite way to play it is North American Tankers (NAT +7.8%), pointing to already improving dayrates for Suezmax tankers and VLCCs; he likes the ~7% yield while you wait. "The [Brent-WTI] spread is dead," so Cramer likes several other energy names too: CLR, EOG, WLL, PXD, CXO.

"So although Brent and WTI prices came close enough to touch last Friday we believe that they were just passing by – like strangers in the night and that the spread between them will widen out again before long" RBN Energy http://bit.ly/132rFTJ
Cramer is full of good info, but he is a trader to the bone. He says he's not, anymore, but he can't stand to hold a losing position. He had a Buy on NAT from 30 to 20-ish, then Hold, and finally when it got to around 10, he said SELL That was about 2 months ago; today he said BUY again. Listen to his knowledge and opinion; he knows what's going on with most stocks, but don't pay too much attention to his recommendations.
It doesn't pay to try and be a Trader, and if you follow him, that's what you become- someone who can't stand to hold anything for more than a few months. You'll lose; trading is a killer.

Brief Summary
There are about 400 species of aloe. Most aloe plants have thick, fleshy leaves edged with spines. Their flowers are often shades of red, pink, yellow, or orange. Many people grow aloe plants in homes or gardens. Aloe vera is the best-known species of aloe, and it is found in many products. For example, gel from the leaves is used to treat burns.

Aloe ser. Macrifoliae
Aloe ser. Macrifoliae (the "Climbing Aloes") is a taxonomic series within the genus Aloe, comprising seven closely related species of Southern African climbing aloe. These aloes are typically multi-branched climbing or sprawling shrubs, with long spindly stems and a large woody base on the ground. These characteristics, as well as their soft, narrow, triangular leaves whose lower part ensheathes the stem, make these Aloes easy to distinguish.
This group of aloes is centered in the Eastern Cape, South Africa where they are also particularly common. A few rare species also occur in isolated pockets further west in the fynbos vegetation of the Western Cape.
The most common species in this group is probably Aloe ciliaris which is relatively widespread in South Africa. It seems to have developed from the smaller, rarer, finely leaved Aloe tidmarshi (now re-classified as a subspecies, Aloe ciliaris tidmarshi) and to have spread out across the country relatively recently.
Its relatives, moving westwards along the South African coast, are: Aloe tenuior of Kwazulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, Aloe striatula of the higher mountain ranges bordering the Karoo, and Aloe gracilis of the area around Port Elizabeth (where the Eastern Cape thickets fade into the Western Cape fynbos vegetation).
Further west, the Fynbos vegetation of the neighbouring Western Cape is subject to frequent fires, making it relatively inhospitable for Aloes. Nevertheless, several rare relict Macrifoliae Aloe species survive in tiny isolated pockets within the Fynbos biome, such as Aloe decumbens, Aloe juddii and Aloe commixta.[1]
The unusual and endangered Pearson's Aloe (Aloe pearsonii) of Namibia is considered by many botanists to be an outlying member of this series. However more recent chemical analysis indicates that it is actually closer to the "Creeping Aloes" (Mitriformes), but is most likely a "missing-link" intermediate between the two groups. [2]
Regional Adaptations[edit]
The different species of this series show clear and distinct adaptations to their different natural habitats. The climbing aloe species that are indigenous to regions with tall, thicket vegetation are tall and erect - often with hooked, recurved leaves that allow the aloes to anchor their branches and climb up through trees and thickets. In contrast, the species from drier regions with low, sparse, fynbos vegetation tend to be more "decumbent", rambling along the ground - with no need for their leaves to be recurved. [3]
Species and subspecies[edit]
Eastern Cape[edit]
- Aloe ciliaris comprising:
- A. ciliaris var. ciliaris
- A. ciliaris var. tidmarshii
- A. ciliaris var. redacta
- Aloe striatula comprising:
- A. striatula var. striatula
- A. striatula var. caesia
- Aloe tenuior comprising:
- A. tenuior var. tenuior
- A. tenuior var. glaucescens
- A. tenuior var. densiflora
- A. tenuior var. decidua
- A. tenuior var. viridifolia
- A. tenuior var. rubriflora
- Aloe gracilis comprising:
- A. gracilis var. gracilis
- A. gracilis var. laxiflora
- A. gracilis var. decumbens (upgraded to species, van Jaarsveld 2008)
Western Cape[edit]
- Aloe decumbens of the Langeberg Mountains, Western Cape.
- Aloe juddii of the Koudeberg Mountains, Western Cape.
- Aloe commixta of Table Mountain, Western Cape.
Due to their hardiness and the wide range of flower colours, these slender aloes have become popular ornamental plants in South African gardens. The commoner species (such as the more widespread aloes of the Eastern Cape) are increasingly grown in gardens overseas too. Like most aloes, Climbing Aloes require a sunny, well-drained position and are particularly suitable for rockeries. The taller, climbing species are commonly planted along fences and boundaries where they grow up through the surrounding foliage. The lower, rambling species however, are better suited for rockeries, slopes or terraces, which they will naturally cascade down over.
The colour of the flowers varies from bright yellow (Aloe commixta and Aloe tenuior) to orange (Aloe striatula and Aloe commixta) to red, pink or even scarlet (Aloe ciliaris, Aloe juddii and Aloe gracilis). There can also be significant colour variation among different populations within each individual species.
They can easily be propagated by taking cuttings (truncheons), as well as by seed. These aloes generally have both male and female flowers on each plant, but an individual plant is usually not self-fertile by itself. However, some of the different Macrifoliae aloe species are also inter-fertile, and can thus form hybrids.

Aloe ( /ˈæləʊ/; also Aloë) is genus containing about four hundred species of flowering succulent plants. The most common and well known of these is Aloe vera, or "true aloe".
The genus is native to Africa, and is common in South Africa's Cape Province, the mountains of tropical Africa, and neighboring areas such as Madagascar, the Arabian peninsula, and the islands of Africa.
The APG III system (2009) places the genus in the family family Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Asphodeloideae.[1] In the past it has also been assigned to families Aloaceae and Liliaceae or lily family. Members of the closely allied genera Gasteria, Haworthia and Kniphofia, which have a similar mode of growth, are also popularly known as aloes. Note that the plant sometimes called American aloe (Agave americana) belongs to Agavaceae, a different family.
Most Aloe species have a rosette of large, thick, fleshy leaves. The leaves are often lance-shaped with a sharp apex and a spiny margin. Aloe flowers are tubular, frequently yellow, orange, pink or red, and are borne, densely clustered and pendant, at the apex of simple or branched, leafless stems.
Many species of Aloe appear to be stemless, with the rosette growing directly at ground level; other varieties may have a branched or unbranched stem from which the fleshy leaves spring. They vary in color from grey to bright-green and are sometimes striped or mottled. Some Aloes native to South Africa are arborescent.[2]

Aloe species are frequently cultivated as ornamental plants both in gardens and in pots. Many Aloe species are highly decorative and are valued by collectors of succulents. Aloe vera is used both internally and externally on humans, and is claimed to have some medicinal effects, which have been supported by scientific and medical research. The gel in the leaves can be made into a smooth type of cream that can heal burns such as sunburn. They can also be made into types of special soaps.
Historical uses
Historical use of various Aloe species by humans is well documented. Documentation of the clinical effectiveness is available, although relatively limited.[3]
Of the 299 species of Aloe, only a few were used traditionally as a herbal medicine, aloe vera again being the most commonly used version of aloe in herbal medicine. Also included are Aloe perryi (found in northeastern Africa) and Aloe ferox (found in South Africa). The Greeks and Romans used aloe vera to treat wounds. In the Middle Ages, the yellowish liquid found inside the leaves was favored as a purgative.[citation needed] Processed aloe that contains aloin is generally used as a laxative, whereas processed aloe vera juice does not usually contain significant aloin.
Some species, particularly Aloe vera are used in alternative medicine and in the home first aids. Both the translucent inner pulp and the resinous yellow aloin from wounding the Aloe plant are used externally to relieve skin discomforts. As an herbal medicine, aloe vera juice is commonly used internally to relieve digestive discomfort "aloe for heartburn". Better Nutrition. 2007. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FKA/is_4_69/ai_n18791510. "aloe alt med". http://altmedicine.about.com/od/therapiesfrometol/a/heartburn.htm. "Aloe IBS study". http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/546327. . Some modern research suggests Aloe vera can significantly slow wound healing compared to normal protocols of treatment.[4] Other reviews of randomised and controlled clinical trials have provided no evidence that Aloe vera has a strong medicinal effect.[5][6]
Today, aloe vera is used both internally and externally on humans. The gel found in the leaves is used for soothing minor burns, wounds, and various skin conditions like eczema and ringworm. The extracted aloe vera juice aloe vera plant is used internally to treat a variety of digestive conditions. The use of this herbal medicine was popularized in the 1950s in many Western countries. The gel's effect is nearly immediate; it also applies a layer over wounds that is said to reduce the chance of any infection.
There have been relatively few studies about possible benefits of Aloe gel taken internally. Components of Aloe may inhibit tumor growth.[7] There have been some studies in animal models which indicate that extracts of Aloe have a significant anti-hyperglycemic effect, and may be useful in treating Type II diabetes. These studies have not been confirmed in humans.[8]
Aloin in OTC laxative products
On May 9, 2002, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a final rule banning the use of aloin, the yellow sap of the aloe plant for use as a laxative ingredient in over-the-counter drug products.[9] Most aloe juices today do not contain significant aloin.
Chemical properties
According to W. A. Shenstone, two classes of aloins are to be recognized: (1) nataloins, which yield picric and oxalic acids with nitric acid, and do not give a red coloration with nitric acid; and (2) barbaloins, which yield aloetic acid (C7H2N3O5), chrysammic acid (C7H2N2O6), picric and oxalic acids with nitric acid, being reddened by the acid. This second group hi may be divided into a-barbaloins, obtained from Barbados Aloe, and reddened in the cold, and b-barbaloins, obtained from Socotrine and Zanzibar Aloe, reddened by ordinary nitric acid only when warmed or by fuming acid in the cold. Nataloin (2C17H13O7·H2O) forms bright yellow scales. Barbaloin (C17H18O7) prismatic crystals. Aloe species also contain a trace of volatile oil, to which its odour is due.[citation needed]
Popular culture
Aloe rubrolutea occurs as a charge in heraldry, such as in the Civic Heraldry of Namibia.[10]
There are around 400 species in the genus Aloe. For a full list, see List of species of genus Aloe. Species include:
- Aloe vera - used in healthcare & health products
- Aloe arborescens - used in healthcare
- Aloe aristata - Torch Plant, Lace Aloe
- Aloe dichotoma - quiver tree or kokerboom
- Aloe nyeriensis
- Aloe variegata - Partridge-breasted Aloe, Tiger Aloe
- Aloe barbadensis - Barbados Aloe, Common Aloe, Yellow Aloe, Medicinal Aloe. This is an older name for Aloe vera.
- Aloe wildii
An Aloe tree appeared on stamps issued in 1919 by Batum, a semi-autonomous region of Georgia in the South Caucasus region.

Jennifer Garner was on Mommy duty as usual in Santa Monica, California wearing her Current/Elliott perfect shirt again. Okay DenimBlog readers, you know how I really do adore Jennifer, but those pants she is wearing are just horrible for her! I mean they remind me of those polyester slacks that are really unflattering. Maybe she is just having a "bad wardrobe" day? Thank Goodness she had enough sense to wear a decent shirt with those pants. She needs to go back to denim for pants STAT!

Jennifer Aniston and John Travolta Honor Shirley MacLaine at AFI Life Achievement Award
Jennifer Aniston and John Travolta came to 2012 AFI Life Achievement Award honoring their senior Shirley MacLaine. The former showed off her leg and decolletage in a low-cut Burberry white long dress that featured slit to the thigh, while the latter suited up.
The gala dinner took place inside Sony Pictures Studio in Culver City, California on Thursday evening, June 7. The 43-year-old blonde beauty, who shared screen with MacLaine in 2005 romcom "Rumor Has It", sat between fellow actress Melanie Griffith and past AFI recipient Meryl Streep.
As for Travolta, he skipped the red carpet appearance and didn't sit with audience. Instead, he appeared onstage as a surprise guest to applaud 78-year-old MacLaine. It marked his first ever public appearance since he was entangled in a sexual harassment case with male masseurs.
"Several years ago, Warren Beatty was talking about a young actress. And I said to him, 'What was she like?' And he said, 'She filled the room with presence like I've never seen before.' And I said, 'You know your sister, Shirley? She fills the room with presence'," he said. "She fills the world with presence like no one I've ever seen before. And that's my Shirley. And I love you."
The 58-year-old actor added, "Shirley MacLaine is first a dancer, and when you move from Broadway to film to television to writing to directing, you have to move to these things with the grace of a dancer. To train and push harder than you ever thought you could."
Other stars who took the podium to salute the veteran actress included her actor/director brother Warren Beatty, past AFI recipient Morgan Freeman and fellow actress Julia Roberts. The "Pretty Woman" leading lady shared screen with MacLaine in 1989's "Steel Magnolias" and 2010's "Valentine's Day".
Other attendees included MacLaine's "Terms of Endearment" co-star Jack Nicholson, another "Steel Magnolias" cast Sally Fields and "Downton Abbey" actress Elizabeth McGovern. The likes of Katherine Heigl, Dakota Fanning and Mena Suvari were spotted among the guests as well.

QPR, being watched from the stands by Harry Redknapp who was
named as their new manager on Saturday (local time), took the
lead with a 52nd-minute Jamie Mackie tap-in, but were left
reeling as quick goals from Jonny Evans, Darren Fletcher and
Javier Hernandez gave United their sixth comeback win in the
league this season.
Now without a win in 13 league matches, QPR stay nailed to
the bottom with four points.
United moved on to 30 points, two clear of champions
Manchester City (28) who can regain top spot if they win at
Chelsea (24) on Sunday.
West Bromwich Albion moved on to 26 points and above Chelsea
into third place - at least until Sunday's match at Stamford
Bridge - when they won 4-2 at Sunderland for a fourth
successive league win, giving them their best start to a
season since 1953-54.
Everton were minutes away from beating Norwich City but had
to settle for a 1-1 draw after a late Sebastian Bassong
header cancelled out Steven Naismith's early opener for
Wigan Athletic beat Reading 3-2 with a hat-trick from Jordi
Gomez and Stoke City beat Fulham 1-0 with a first-half goal
from Charlie Adam.

Adventures for a Day
To address the concerns of this growing community, a group of county leaders formed The Latino Advocacy Coalition. The purpose was to identify the needs of this population and to advocate for additional services. The recent opening of El Centro (Centro Comunitario del Condado de Henderson) has established a community center which offers Latinos opportunities to participate in educational and cultural programs in an easily accessible bilingual atmosphere.
This program will include a panel of presenters, chaired by Betsy Alexander, president of the executive board of the Latino Advocacy Coalition, and will cover such topics as Latino cultures, immigration issues, problems encountered here and services available. After the panel discussion there will be a lunch prepared by members of the Latino community. Cost is $15 per person.
The Boys and Girls Club, 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7. The Rescue Mission, 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14. Interfaith Assistance Ministry, 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21.
Cost is $15 per person.
The morning will include a visit with John and Diane Sheiry, innkeepers of the historic Waverly Inn on Main Street. During the visit tea or coffee and a breakfast snack will be served.
Next is the Woodfield Inn in Flat Rock. Innkeepers Rhonda and Wayne Nelson will talk about the inn's history and operation. They will serve a light lunch of soup, salad, sandwiches and iced tea.
The final visit will be to the Melange Bed and Breakfast Inn on Fifth Avenue West. Innkeeper Lale Ozelzal will offer a tour of her home, which is filled with Turkish antiques. A Southern Italian desert, chocolate cassata, will be served.
Cost is $20 per person.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - In a St. Joseph Healthscene Report, what is the unhealthiest city in the United States?
Federal health statistics point to Huntington, West Virginia.
Nearly half the adults in Huntington's five-county metropolitan area are obese, thanks to fatty diets and lack of exercise. That's an astounding percentage, far bigger than the national average, in a country with a well-known weight problem.
Huntington leads in a-half-dozen other illness measures, too, including heart disease and diabetes. It's even tops in the
percentage of elderly people who have lost all their teeth. About half of them have.
As for the healthiest city in America? It appears to be Burlington, Vermont.
The state's largest city is tops among U.S. metropolitan areas by having the largest proportion of people who say they are in good or great health, 92 percent.
It's also among the best in exercise and among the lowest in such measures of ill health as obesity and diabetes.
