Because of the Java 7 firewall problem, I am trying to execute the following command as administrator but I get an error:
netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFTP disable
In English, something like:
"The following command was not found: advfirewall"
I found a related problem, but I am not running Windows 64bit; I am using Windows Vista Business SP2 32bit.
A workaround is to disable the firewall, but that is not a good solution.
According to the Sun bug report, it is possible to change the firewall setting over the registry but I don't know how.
Any ideas?
In the Microsoft documentation about netsh I found an article describing my error message. It explains that depending on the installation different contexts are available. I don't have the "netsh advfirewall" context on two different computers.

Wine a day?
Marijuana and pregnancy
Wine a day?
Scientifically, having one joint/one cig/one glass of wine your whole pregnancy is likely not going to even have an effect on your baby. But smoking (anything) is bad for you as a habit, especially something unfiltered and unregulated like marijuana, and in larger amounts can have an effect on your unborn child. Wine and other alcoholic drinks can affect the baby in large amounts, and aren't all that great for you either. I don't agree with doing any of them during pregnancy, but if you do, do very, very little.

However the effects of smoking can be detrimental to the development of a baby. So its pretty much solid if you smoke u increase the likelihood of having a healthy baby.
I think any and all of it is so selfish. I mean SERIOUSLY? You can't quit for 9 months?
the study concluded there was no difference between the babies of mother's who smoked to those that didn't.
be careful, i know from experience with my first DS that a positive test for THC in baby's meconium (even if mom tests negative like i did) in the hospital is a red flag for CPS and the nurses treated me like shit. In AZ, my chart just said my baby tested positive for drugs. They refused to help me breastfeed and were really rude! Treated me like a crack whore!
Do i think its that harmful? Nah. I've heard the opposite. It was great for my symptoms and my son tested a 9 on the apgar scale at birth and has no visible symptoms. In fact, he is quite smart...But I'd hate for any of you to have to go through what i did. Again, this was in AZ, before medical marijuana laws were passed. I dont know how this would transpire in other states, but just wanted to share so you are aware...

We've highlighted how the EOS 80D is a great choice as a step-up camera in an earlier article on Canon USA's Digital Learning Center. And, how that applies whether you're an experienced DSLR user who's working with an older camera, or a first-time but well-informed DSLR customer who's looking to move beyond today's lightweight, entry-level models.Read the entire article on the Canon Digital Learning Center.
One aspect of the advanced possibilities a camera like the EOS 80D offers is extensive fine-tuning and control of its continuous autofocus for moving subjects, called AI Servo AF. In a far less expensive package than Canon's high-end models — such as the EOS 5D series or even the EOS-1D X models — the EOS 80D offers the action photographer a truly extensive array of in-camera adjustability and control. We'll discuss what's available in the EOS 80D in this article, and explain how it might be used in various real-world shooting situations.

Today we begin "Couric & Co." Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Pull up a chair and stay a while. There's a lot going on in the world, and we have a lot to talk about. And I hope this little corner of the internet will be the place to do just that.
We're going to be surveying the landscape here, and pointing out a few of the more interesting and surprising things we see on the horizon. We'll be swapping stories, sharing opinions, asking questions and generally just taking stock. In the little village that is CBS News, you might consider "Couric & Co" the coffee house on the corner, where something is always brewing.
I can't be here all day, every day, so some visitors will be dropping by – the "company" of "Couric & Co." We'll be hearing from CBS News correspondents and producers, from different corners of the world, adding their voices to this conversation. And the editor, Greg Kandra, will be keeping an eye on things, too– throwing in his two cents, looking for whatever is new or notable, and otherwise offering free refills of piping hot news, with a side order of links. While you're here, you might want to take a look at our Rules of Engagement, and Editor's POV.
A footnote: out of curiosity, I did a little "Googling" for the word "blog." And one of the first entries that popped up was a guy by the name of Henry Blogg. He lived long before the age of the internet. But his story is quite remarkable. He was apparently an accomplished sailor – a legendary lifeboatman, to be exact – who weathered fierce storms while doing his job, rowing out to sea. It took guts – and some muscle – to venture out into the unknown like that.
Reading his story reminded me of some wisdom that was passed on to me when I was deciding whether or not I should come to CBS. I was anxious about making a career change. But a good friend told me: "Katie, a boat is always safe in the harbor. But it's not what it was built for."
She was absolutely right.
And here I am.
Like Henry Blogg, this blog is shoving off from the harbor, and heading out to a mysterious and uncharted sea. The harbor was great. But, let's face it: we're supposed to be exploring the wider world. This is what we were built for. And that's what we'll be doing at "Couric & Co."
So grab an oar. Take a deep breath. And let's get going.
Hopefully, we won't all end up like Gilligan...

What People Are Saying About StoryboardArt
This course has been as informative if not more informative than any class I've taken undergrad or otherwise! ...From studios I've gotten some positive comments in just the last few days. In fact, one studio in the UK wanted me to work on-site on a thirty sec. spot... But another studio in the UK, Spider Eye, is considering me for remote work coming up in the next few months! Thanks so much for your time and for your teaching abilities! Every time I come across an excellent teacher I try to absorb how they approach teaching. I hope I can apply your teaching abilities, as well.
- Lincoln Adams
I wanted to take the time to thank you for both the portfolio review and your workshop. To catch a review with you I ditched the line for a studio's portfolio review, and honestly, it was 100% worth it. I'll be working on what I learned for my action scenes and be more active on storyboardart.org forums from now on.
- Henrique Jardim
I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed and learned so much about story and how important it is in any artistic endeavor. I'm a graphic designer looking to transition into motion design and realize how important storyboarding is. Even in graphic design I now look at my compositions in this way. Thank you for offering such a class and from pros like yourselves!
- Cassia Dominguez
First, I wanted to thank you for that portfolio review we had. His advice really helped me to make a lot of choices lately. So here is the big news: I accepted Nickelodeon's job last Friday, so I am moving to Burbank in about a week and half. The craziest thing is 3 hours after saying yes to Nick, Disney called me to hire me on a feature. I am not even there and already I am rolling with the snowball! Guess this is why they call it land of opportunity ;)
- J-Sebastien Duclos
I recently been hired by NerpCorp as a storyboard artist. I was originally seeking an entry level Storyboard revisionist position. When they hired me, my actually title is "Storyboard Director". FANcy Huh? Well I must be doing something right, and you definitely guided me well, so thanks for that. You probably get that a lot...lots of luck with the continuation of the StoryboardArt, it's an excellent program in helping new artist to set their foundation for those who are interested in getting into this industry.

Johnny Contardo is best known as a former singer with the musical group, Sha Na Na which he left in 1983. In 1978, he appeared with Sha Na Na in the blockbuster hit movie musical Grease as Johnny Casino and the Gamblers. His performance of the song "Those Magic Changes" was featured in the movie and on the soundtrack for Grease.
Johnny's early years[edit]
Johnny Contardo (born December 23, 1951) was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. His first singing experience was at the age of 6, in a Boston church choir.
His mother took him into night clubs when he was a teen, to perform in front of an audience. She discovered that he had stage presence and personality, in addition to his singing talent.
After graduating from Brookline High School in 1969, Johnny attended the Boston Conservatory of Music, studying voice, acting, and dance.
At age 19, Johnny took a minor role in Boston production of the musical Hair. After six months, he played the lead role in the production. He then received an offer to be understudy for the lead role on Broadway, and an offer to join Sha Na Na.
In Sha Na Na and the following years[edit]
Johnny joined Sha Na Na in 1971. The television show Sha Na Na, aired from 1977 to 1981.
The show was primarily made up of 1950s song covers, and featured musical and non-musical guests, and comedy sketches. Johnny performed many ballads, doo-wop, and rock and roll songs on the program, showcasing his vocal range, including his rich tenor and titillating falsetto notes.
In 1983, he left the group and began a solo career. He appeared in a minor role in the movie Scarface, released two albums and did live performances.
Eventually, he left the business and worked in advertising for a number of years. He taught voice lessons, as well.
Current status[edit]
In 2005, Johnny returned to show business at the urging of his fans. He rehearsed in his garage, then made his comeback in a show in Florida, with headliner Frankie Avalon, who had also appeared in Grease.
Johnny's comment about his return to the business was, "My fans are unbelievable. They pushed me to do this. When I got on that stage again, it was like I never left Sha Na Na."
In June 2007, Johnny did a reunion performance with Jon "Bowzer" Bauman. He sang a few songs and a duet with Bowzer at Bowzer's Rock 'N' Roll Party Volume VI, held in Connecticut.
As of July 2008, Johnny is performing as a solo artist in concerts around the U.S. He holds an occasional Meet and Greet, which consists of a performance, followed by a gathering of his fans. At these events, there are photo opportunities, a chance to get Johnny's autograph, and to talk with him. Contardo also enjoys cooking and runs a catering business in California.
Johnny is also the co-founder of http://VocalPower.biz/. With VocalPower.biz, Johnny hopes to reach far more students and create an impact with the thousands of users he is teaching through the course.
In the early 1970s, guitarist Joe Jammer, who worked with many classic groups including Led Zeppelin, assembled a group of musicians to record an album of funk/rock tunes called "Headway," with Johnny on vocals. The album sat on the shelf for years, but was finally released in February 2015.
Johnny received a Grammy nomination, as well as a Platinum Album, for the soundtrack from the movie Grease. He also received a Gold album for The Golden Age of Rock n Roll.

Seasonal contracts
This year really broke the bank for snow budgets. Got me thinking of a way to address this in hopes of avoiding accounts shopping next year. Thought of the seasonal contract. Got some questions. How many years do you typically cover in a seasonal contract. I would think a one year contract could result in a boom or bust; not particularly favorable to either party. If it was a 4 or 5 year contract I would think it would be more favorable to both as the law of averages would counter the single year boom or bust scenario. Also, you're locking the customer up for an extended length of time while guaranteeing yourself a certain amount of income. What kind of term do most of your seasonal contracts cover?
What services do the seasonal contracts cover? Do they include deicers or just plowing and sidewalk clearing? I imagine the latter would be much easier to figure. You would look up the average number of events with your trigger depth and go from there. The deicer situation concerns me. I have one account that wants calcium chloride and they put it down whenever there is any sort of icy condition; as well they should. How would you account for that? We could have rain that turns to ice. We could have run off from melting snow that refreezes, etc. And this stuff isn't cheap. You would have to have a limit. But if you set a limit I would think they would use that limit every winter; why not, they paid for it. So you would base your price on that limit, correct? Well wouldn't that be the same as per service when it comes to deicing? In effect, they just locked themselves into using a guaranteed amount of deicing.
How do your customers see a seasonal contract with a max number of inches or pushes after which it becomes per push? Do they feel that it protects you on your risk but not them if there is little or no snow? Where is our assumption of risk in this arrangement? (I try to sell this but I have found they do not look at this as fair as we are not assuming any risk.) Do you give out better pricing on a per inch or per push basis with this type of agreement than on a straight per push basis?
Any other factors to consider in seasonal contracts? Thanks.
If you have had a busy snow season,then now is the time to sell them on seasonal contracts.Sell it like insurance,it's in place to protect them.
Most of our seasonals are on 3 year contracts,with rate increases of 5% per year,paid in installments over the winter season,or we will discount if paid in full in advance.We also only sign a one year contract with all new customers,which is paid in full before the season begins.If they are happy with us,and were happy with them,we fine tune the pricing and sign a minimum 3 year contract.
It is based on average snowfall data averaged over the last 15-20 years.We know exactly how many plowable events we get and multiply that by our per push price (number of hours to clear lot X hourly rate).With a lower trigger you will be going out more,with a higher trigger you go out less,but also sometimes have to plow up any other frozen snow that may have fallen but did not meet your trigger point,so charge accordingly.
Sidewalks can be included if the customer requires,and can be written into the contract and added to the contract price.
Anything less than your trigger point will get salted if they want bare pavement all the time.Any de-icing is billed separately for both material and labor.We bill for "per ton applied",as all of our properties are quite large,and it is billed every month on top of the contract price.
If your properties are smaller and require less de-icer,then you may want to bill it as a set price per application,including materials.It can be more profitable this way.You may also choose to include the de-icing in your contract price,but only do it if there is a small amount of de-icing to be done.Most de-icing fluctuates dramatically from year to year depending on the weather,so be careful.
Most of our contracts do include an "extreme snowfall clause",so if we have a massive snowfall,it is billable separately.We also have a maximum yearly snowfall cause on some contracts so that if we exceed the maximum for the year,anything else is billed additionally.These clauses are rarely used,and only there to protect us in extreme cases.Most customers will realize that this is there to protect the contractor,but will also help keep the seasonal prices in check,as you don't have to price high to cover any extreme weather.
Other things that are billed additional are stacking,snow moving and removal.Pre-define pricing for these in your contracts and try to recommend at which point they may be required.

Great info Wyldman. I too am thinking about more seasonal contracts and didn't really know very much about it. I have a couple, but I certainly didn't set them up as well as I could have and will get a lot of use out of the information you posted...

I have to say that is great info. I could never sell a 3 year seasonal around here though. We do everything per push. And competition around here is very tight. Seems like every business on the corner has a different contractor working it. I have been fortunate that I have had (for the most part ) the same business's for the past 3 years. If I went seasonal, this year would have been ugly....
Just my opinion
If you think you can, or you think you can't......
You're right.
Excellent point John.
Chief Plow - "If I went seasonal, this year would have been ugly...."
Just my opinion
If your going seasonal,you have to be in it long term.
You will have bad winters with lots of snow,where it never seems to end.Costs go up,and you are stuck on a fixed income.Only benifit is salting makes you lots of money.
You will also have good winters where your trucks hardly move,and you still collect the money every month.
It will all even out over the years.
Since our business was established in 1964 seasonal contracts have been the norm for us. Long term it really does pay off.
I haven't observed a dramatic difference in costs between the busy and light years. Many times the trannys will make it through a tough season, only to fail part of the way through the next, which may be a light year.
Slow or busy, either way we still need to meet that minimum $ thats needed to open the door on the business. That number includes insurance, depreciation, equipment payments, building payments, heat, water, electricity, maintenance, and all of the other ongoing expenses.
We still write seasonal contracts, but many operators have moved their large municipal and commercial customers to 3 year contracts. I think these multi-year contracts are a good idea. They protect your customer base from low-ball quotes, and it establishes the cashflow so you can invest in equipment with some guarantee that you will be able to pay for it.
One local operator landed a large condo complex, ramped up with trucks, plows and lawn equipment to handle the work, and lost the contract the next year to a low price. His workmanship and professionalism was exemplary, but price was primary focus for the condo people. He is stuck with the equipment and associated costs. Of course, he can always put that to work for other people, but a multi-year contract would have saved him some grief.
JAA - LOL, as I was reading Chief Plows comment, I couldn't wait to post my response. You bet me to the punch, even if the qoute was taken from you in the first place!
Chuck B.
For those who don't know what I am talking about: I bought JAA book at the SIMA convention last year, and he signed the book with the same quote. Since then, I have incorporated it into my every day mindset. Speaking from experience, I have had many people try and steer me clear of running a snowplowing company. Including my parents, inlaws, brother, sisters and wife occasionally.
After seven years part time, and 2 years full time(Snow only business), I can say - If you think you can, or you think you can't......
You're right.

We moved to Summer Station from The Tides condominium (where we had very bad experience). At Summer Station we received good customer service from management, maintanence to maid service. The hotel is good for the family --close to beach and roomy. It is clean and comfortable (no luxury). We had a 2 nicely sized bedrooms, livings room , one bath and small kitchen. We had everything what we need on a kitchen for cooking. Our unit also had a washer and dryer and balcony overlooking the beach. We liked everything exept matresses that has to be changed.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- A tradition of luxury and elegance has been found in Cape May since before the turn of the century, and now Summer Station is part of that tradition. With an imposing facade that blends with the stately Victorian homes, and accommodations that offer a gracious vacation lifestyle. The inviting sandy beach is just steps from your door; or you may prefer the sparkling water of our pool with surrounding sundeck. ... more less

Jon Peddie Research, a consulting firm for graphics and multimedia has shared its findings for graphics shipments and supplier market share for the third calendar quarter of 2006. The firm estimates that approximately 76 million PC graphics devices shipped from major suppliers in Q3 2006, a 5.2% increase from the prior quarter and an 11.2% increase over the same period the previous year.
The desktop graphics segment saw shipments increased 2% from Q2'06 to Q3'06 and shipments grew 4.7% year-over-year. Integrated desktop shipments dropped 3% sequentially (the second consecutive quarter of decline) but increased 3.3% annually. Discrete desktop shipments jumped 10.2% on a quarterly basis and grew 6.8% year-over-year.
The mobile graphics segment saw quarterly shipments rise a dramatic 13.8% and grow 30.2% year-over year. IGC (integrated graphics controller) shipments drove growth in the mobile market in the second quarter with a stunning 15.8% growth during the period, and discrete mobile shipments grew 7.5% during the quarter and jumped 9.3% compared to the same period the previous year.
JPR estimates that a record 22.7 million mobile graphics devices shipped in Q3'06, 17.4 million of which were integrated chipsets for notebooks. Mobile IGCs claimed a share of 76.8% in the mobile graphics market, up from 75.4% in the prior quarter and up from 72.3% in the same period a year ago. Intel led the mobile graphics market with a 51% share (down from 54%), ATI dropped to a 24% share, and Nvidia jumped with an 8% market share gain to 19% for the quarter.
In the discrete mobile segment, ATI saw shipments decline dramatically on a quarterly basis while Nvidia saw shipments increase sequentially. Nvidia grew discrete mobile segment share from 37% in Q1'06 to 53% in Q3'06. ATI's segment share fell from 63% in Q2'06 to 47% in Q3'06.
JPR estimates that approximately 53 million desktop graphics devices shipped in Q3'06, 31.7 million or 59.5% of which were integrated parts. Overall, Intel held at 35% of the desktop graphics market, ATI dropped to 22%, and Nvidia grew to 25% market share. Nvidia also grew to 57% share and ATI claimed 43% share during the period in the discrete desktop segment.
Intel saw a flat quarter in graphics shipments in Q3'06, but was still the largest supplier of PC graphics devices worldwide. ATI remained the second largest supplier in Q3'06 but with a 5% sequential decline in shipments and decreased market share. Nvidia, the third largest supplier in Q3'06, closed the gap with ATI with a 2.0% sequential increase in shipments and increased market share.
In case all those numbers have your head spinning, the table below summarizes ranking and relative market share.

System in New York For Early Warning Of Disease Patterns
By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA
Published: April 4, 2003
In mid-March, a corner of Queens suffered a sudden, sharp increase in the number of people with fever and trouble breathing, turning up mostly at one hospital's emergency room. Where a statistical analysis said there should have been 7 such cases over three days, there were 23. The next day, there were 47.
Suspecting an outbreak of the new Asian respiratory disease, a team of city health workers fanned out, questioning doctors, nurses and patients about symptoms, travels and recoveries, and making plans to isolate them if necessary. It turned out to be a false alarm, a statistical anomaly brought on by conditions as disparate as kidney stones and asthma.
What was remarkable about that episode was not so much the city's response, but that it was detected at all. No one at the hospital noticed it. (City officials would not name the hospital or the neighborhood.)
Rather, the increase was caught by a computer at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's headquarters in Lower Manhattan, where a statistical analysis program warned that there was only a 1 in 1,000 chance of such a thing being a random occurrence.
This was the work of the city's Syndromic Surveillance System, which public health experts call the most advanced early warning system for possible disease outbreaks in the country. Amid growing national concern about bioterrorism and the spread of exotic diseases, a number of cities have become interested in this field, and many have called New York, hoping to learn how it is done.
''New York City is clearly at the cutting edge of this, the model for others to follow,'' said Paula J. Olsiewski, a program director of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, a philanthropic group that has financed the development of syndromic surveillance software. ''By using the software every day, improving it, making it easier to use, regularly trying new things, New York City is making it possible for other agencies around the country that are not as big or technically sophisticated to learn from their experience.''
The nearest analogy may be to Compstat, the Police Department's vaunted crime-fighting computer system, used since the early 1990's to sort mounds of data every day so that the police can respond to problems as soon as they crop up.
The Health Department built its system in fits and starts over several years, but the effort did not really take off until after the World Trade Center and anthrax attacks in 2001. Now, the system, which costs about $1 million a year in labor and computer expenses, analyzes more than 50,000 pieces of information daily, including 911 calls, emergency room visits and drugstore purchases, sifting them by symptom, time and place for patterns that might escape human notice.
''Our system routinely picks up patterns that were never caught before,'' said Dr. Don Weiss, medical director of the department's communicable disease surveillance unit. ''What's sobering is that almost every time we call a hospital and say, 'Hey, your area has had a big increase in this or that,' they're completely unaware of it.''
Other cities have similar efforts under way, including Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, but none is as well developed as New York City's, experts say. New York State officials are considering building a statewide system, modeled on the city's.
Now, New York City officials who spent years proselytizing about the virtues of syndromic surveillance find themselves warning against inflated expectations.
''This system is probably going to be far more useful in detecting natural outbreaks than man-made ones,'' said Dr. Farzad Mostashari, assistant commissioner for epidemiology services for the Health Department. ''There is no guarantee that it will detect even a modest-sized bioterror attack, or that it will detect that attack before an astute clinician would. This is still in its infancy. It's very much a work in progress.''
The anthrax attacks and the West Nile virus illustrate perfectly the limitations, city officials say. Each episode began with a mere handful of cases, most of them nonfatal, involving mostly run-of-the-mill symptoms like fevers. Neither case would have offered enough evidence to register against the background noise of a city of eight million people and their ailments -- at least, not until long after some sharp-eyed doctors had figured out what was happening.
Still, the system is a significant departure from traditional epidemiology, which tracks and responds to patterns of disease. Syndromic surveillance focuses not on diseases, but on syndromes -- symptoms -- that might offer signs of a disease a day or even a week before the disease itself becomes apparent.
About once a week, New York City's system turns up something that officials decide warrants a second look. Most turn out to be nothing, but not all. The system spots the onset of flu season earlier than the traditional reliance on anecdotal reports from doctors, and it detected a surge in sales of nicotine patches immediately after a big increase in cigarette taxes took effect last year.

text: I wouldn't say I "worry" about it. The concept of not having global vars at all (well, unless there's a damn good reason, avoid at all costs like the 'goto') has been drilled down into my skull ever since I finished my first C++ programming class in college. >From a design perspective, this makes sense. Fewer global vars are a good thing. They can give you quirky behavior unless you're super careful. I was more curious when you guys design Lisp apps, how you treat global variables (yes, classes, functions, etc. are global as well, but this is not exactly the same thing) in Lisp. Even in imperative and OO languages globals have a time and place (but very seldom and there has to be a damn good reason why). Do professional Lisp developers actively embrace them? Stay away from them like you would in other programming languages? Or is there some other middle-ground that I'm not aware of. The example that you provide is exactly where I could see how things could go very wrong in terms of undefined behavior :-) . How are global variable regarded in Lisp?

pretty good
not bad, but not the best ethier. might've been better if you added something to even out those 8-bit sounds, like a guitar since you're going for a hardcore feel
Thanks for the review!

Made in FL?
I can tell by the drums, basically the hi-hats :P
Anyways, pretty good.
The only thing I don't like about it is the moment when the bass goes REALLY high, around 0:31 and at the end of the loop. The drums maybe are just a little bit to.. loud? But other than that, great work!
I'll work on the levels :)
And yep the drums are from the Legacy pack and sequenced in FPC :)

To better illuminate aspects of stress that are relevant to the moral domain, we present a definition and theoretical model of "moral stress." Our definition posits that moral stress is a psychological state born of an individual's uncertainty about his or her ability to fulfill relevant moral obligations. This definition assumes a self-and-others relational basis for moral stress. Accordingly, our model draws from a theory of the self (identity theory) and a theory of others (stakeholder theory) to suggest that this uncertainty arises as a manager faces competing claims for limited resources from multiple stakeholders and/or across multiple role identities. We further propose that the extent to which the manager is attentive to the moral aspects of the claims (i.e., moral attentiveness) moderates these effects. We identify several consequences of managerial moral stress and discuss theoretical, empirical, and practical implications of our approach. Most importantly, we argue that this work paves an important path for considering stress through the lens of morality.

July 15 – September 25, 2016
A Deeper Dive
Curated by Jonathan David Katz and Andrew Barron
A Deeper Dive takes a closer look at eight of the artists in the national touring exhibition, Art AIDS America. The national exhibition features work from over 100 artists made from the 1980s when the first cases of HIV were reported in the United States to the present, providing viewers an opportunity to engage with a breadth of artworks addressing HIV/AIDS in a manner hitherto unimaginable. It seeks to unearth the indelible mark AIDS has left on our collective consciousness.
A Deeper Dive aims to probe more deeply into how specific artists have contributed to that collectivity through a diverse set of strategies and approaches. The works in A Deeper Dive reflect individual difference while still evoking a strong sense of community and commonality, drawing our attention to the shared experience of the AIDS crisis that implicates us all. This exhibition will feature: Lawrence Brose, Brian Buczak, Jimmy DeSana, John Dugdale, Karen Finley, Deborah Kass, Glenn Ligon, Ann P Meredith, and Anthony Viti. Programming will be done in conjunction with the Bronx Museum, which will be exhibiting "Art AIDS America" concurrently.
Opening Reception: July 15, 6 – 8pm

Legend in My Living Room
Steven G. Fullwood and Peter "Souleo" Wright, Co-curators
Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE) and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture announced a new collaboration with Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art for the forthcoming 2016 special exhibition, Legend in My Living Room.
The exhibition will feature specially commissioned photographic portraits by Magnum Foundation Fellow, Jasper Briggs, of LGBTQ older adults in their home environments. The portraits of six subjects (ages 53-84) displayed prominently in the Museum's window vitrines, will reflect personal stories of struggle, triumph and perseverance.
The project is co-curated by Schomburg Center Associate Curator of Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division and founder of ITLA, Steven G. Fullwood and SAGE Center Harlem program coordinator and cultural tastemaker Peter "Souleo" Wright. "Too often the experiences of Black LGBTQ individuals are erased out of history, says Fullwood. "With this project we aim to create greater visibility for this community by empowering them to take control of their narrative and public representation."

I wasn't to impressed with this. I thought it lacked flavor and I even added some parsley
This is the best recipe ever! I have made it several times especially with company over. It is always a big hit. Thanks for sharing.
Made this for dinner tonight. I love the garlicy chicken. Be sure you cut your chicken pieces small or else they won't fit in the manicotti. I'm thinking next time I'll add some diced onion also. I didn't get a picture until AFTER the family had attacked it.
