EOF - Coding in Pixels
My parents were old-school. Literally. My mother (born 1913) started teaching at age 19 in a one-room schoolhouse in rural North Dakota, where she grew up. My father (born 1908) learned carpentry from his father (born 1863) and taught me as well. I also absorbed a value both my parents shared. "Make yourself useful", they said, as often as they saw my sister or me failing to do that.
Respect for usefulness gave me a special appreciation for Linux, as well as for free and open-source code. Usefulness is why most free and open-source code gets written in the first place. It's also what makes that code valuable. "The use value of a program is its economic value as a tool, a productivity multiplier", Eric Raymond writes (catb.org/esr/writings/homesteading/magic-cauldron/ar01s03.htm). Elsewhere (catb.org/esr/writings/homesteading/cathedral-bazaar/ar01s02.html), he adds, "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch." And, "Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse)."
I've never made myself useful as a programmer. As fate has it, the only code I know is Morse. (Well, there's HTML, which I don't think counts much more than Morse does.) My skills with electronics, such as they are, were developed in my days as a ham radio operator, in the earliest 1960s. I was a kid then, building radio things and cultivating a lifelong obsession with devices that transmit, receive or both. For a while in my early adult life, that obsession got me work manning radio station transmitters and doing site studies for new FM stations. But I went on to other careers, and almost none of what I knew about broadcasting many decades ago is of practical use now, even in what's left of the broadcast field.
The other practical science I learned while young was darkroom chemistry. That came out of my work as a newspaper photographer, around the turn of the 1970s. Today, none of my old darkroom skills (pushing, burning, dodging and so on) have much leverage. My skills as a photographer, however, have only improved since I first picked up a digital camera about six years ago. At first, I mostly shot candid photos of people, since that was my specialty back when I did newspaper work. Then, after Flickr came along, I found I could do something much more useful. I could put up pictures that others could reuse.
That wasn't the main idea behind Flickr, but it was the idea behind Flickr's base code infrastructure, which was built from the ground up on Linux. It was also the idea behind giving users a choice of Creative Commons licenses for each of their pictures. I was familiar with Creative Commons before I started posting photos on Flickr, but I hadn't had personal experience with Creative Commons' effects. Flickr gave me that, in spades. What I discovered was that many of my pictures were proving useful, mostly as visuals in Wikipedia articles. That mattered far more to me than popularity or remuneration.
As of today (mid-August 2010), I have more than 36,000 photos on Flickr. All carry Creative Commons licenses that permit reuse and remixing. Most of them are captioned or tagged, making them easy to find when searching for one of their subjects. In last June's EOF, I told the story of how some of my winter shots ended up serving as wallpaper for NBC's 2010 Winter Olympics coverage. That was cool, but far cooler is seeing 153 of my photos show up in Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&search=doc+searls), through no additional effort of my own. Some shots are of people (including Eric. S. Raymond, Nat Friedman and Guido van Rossum). But most shots are of places I've seen out the windows of airplanes. These include a town in Nebraska, a lake in Norway, an island in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, a lava field in the Grand Canyon, salt ponds in San Francisco Bay and a glacier in Greenland. Nearly all of them illustrate at least one Wikipedia article. Some illustrate many. For example, a shot of the spiky white fabric roof of Denver International Airport shows up in 17 different articles across 13 language versions.
I think of each photo as a potential code patch to our body of common knowledge, not as a work of art. If they make themselves useful, then I've done the same.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

India sealed the series….
And the unexperienced Indian team clinched the series by beating West Indies in the third ODI. Though the series is not yet over but India have sealed the series. The upcoming two matches will give west indies a oppurtunity from being black faced while India would be looking for a clean sweep.
The match would have been one sided but thanks to the efforts of Andre Russel who made excellent 92* when the west indies were crumbled down on 96 for 7. Though the same position had arrived during Indias innings when they were 92 for 6 but thanks to elegant batting of Sharma which helped India to seal the series.
Andre Russell was elected as man of the match for his brilliant 92 and 1 important wicket.
Latest comments
Hope this is the second coming of Rohit Sharma.

Well it's been a long time since I have added anything to the Blog here, been a crazy busy summer here with not much time for blogging. One of the events we attended this summers was the Atlantic Canada International Air Show, on weekend of Aug 25 & 26 2012 we went both days and had a fantastic time, weather was great and we ended up with thousands of images to weed through and edit. Here are a couple of examples of what we were able to get during these two days.
As I mentioned in this previous posting I would be making another post about the Confederation Bridge. Well where to begin, the Confederation Bridge is a 13km bridge over the Northumberland strait and it connects Prince Edward Island to the mainland, New Brunswick. More detail of the bridge can be found here, the photo in this post was taken from the Prince Edward Island side of the bridge.
Many may know by now if you are following this blog, that we live on a island called Prince Edward Island, if you look it up on a map we are north east coast of Canada. Prince Edward Island is a small province with a pop. of around 140,000 and is a very diverse little Province, some of the main industries are Fishing, Farming, & Tourism. It is a beautiful place during the summer months between June & October but can be a very cold and windy place in the winter.
One of the beauties of Prince Edward Island is it's coast lines, & beaches, we have miles of sandy beaches and many people vist our little island each year during the summer to enjoy these beaches. One of the other beauties I find living on this Island is it's sunsets, some can be very outstanding, and it's nice sometimes to just go to the shoreline and watch the sun set. Here is an photo I took of one such evening while I was photographing the Confederation Bridge (another blog post for another day) I took many shots from about an hour before sunset and for about another 30 min after the sun had set, so I thought I would share one of these for you all to enjoy.
Osprey are fairly common Raptor on Prince Edward Island, and there are several nests close by my area so last night I decided to go check out one of the nests close by. As I was driving close to the area I noticed two of them flying high and in a circle over a wooded area.
When I arrived at the nest I knew that the two that were flying high were likely hunting and would be returning to the nest, so I waited for about 45 minutes and sure enough they returned and I was able to get a few good shots, here is one that turned quite good, it is a heavy crop as the distance I was away from the nest the 70-200mm just wasn't long enough.

Rachel Katz '96 '97 (general fine arts, MA in Art Education) became interested in museum education while working weekends in family programs at the Walters Art Museum while she was studying at MICA. Upon earning her MA in Art Education, she went on to teach art classes to middle school students for two years in public school and also worked as a gallery educator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Later, her path brought her back to MICA, where she worked as an admissions counselor and scholarship coordinator. But 10 years ago she chose to make the leap to New York to pursue museum education work full time.
"Fortunately I was able to find a great position in the realm of family programs at The Jewish Museum," said Katz, explaining that the museum displays art through the lens of Jewish culture and identity. "My work involves managing and developing programming for families inspired from our exhibitions, including interactive gallery tours, art workshops, a family concert series, and large scale family day events."
Katz said she continually taps into her background at MICA while at her current job. "An understanding of the artist's process along with my firsthand experience teaching a range of age levels during the master's program regularly inform my idea development for our museum programs," she explained. "I get excited seeing a child's exploratory process unfold around a work of art and the beauty of those fleeting and powerful interactions within a museum setting.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is the risk of lymphedema following a complete lymphadenectomy accompanying TAH BSO? How well documented, prospectively, is the occurrence of lymphedema in this patient population?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
The incidence of lymphedema following pelvic lymph node sampling and hysterectomy for treatment of endometrial cancer varies from about 2% to 11%, according to retrospective studies. The incidence likely varies depending on how much lymphatic tissue was removed.
See this previous question about lower extremity lymphedema.
May 24, 2013 - Frequent heartburn is associated with a higher risk of cancers of the pharynx and larynx, which may be reduced by the use of antacids, according to a study published online May 23 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Support The Salvation Army's Summer Camp Program and
Introduce A Needy Child to a World of New Possibilities
The Salvation Army Tampa Area Command has a goal of sending dozens of local, underprivileged children to camp this summer.
Long hot summer days, a dip in the pool, star-filled nights, campfires, roasted marshmallows, pillow fights, cabin devotions, emblem work, seeing old friends, making new ones, expanding horizons and creating memories. Summer is fast approaching and The Salvation Army's Camp Keystone located in scenic Keystone Heights, is gearing up for the hundreds of at-risk kids who will benefit from annual camping programs this year.
The Salvation Army's Camp Keystone in Keystone Heights, Florida, provides a gorgeous setting, a caring environment and activities that enrich life. Whether learning to swim, baiting a hook for the first time or discovering new wonders while hiking a nature trail, learning is a big part of the camp experience.
Along the way, children learn about themselves, gaining self-confidence, enthusiasm and courage to try new things. They also begin to understand the importance of working together for a common good, pulling together for something bigger than they are. And they learn about God and the difference He can make in their lives and in their world.
More than 100,000 people of all cultural backgrounds and socioeconomic levels visit Salvation Army camps each year. The camps are conducted by dedicated staff members who serve throughout the summer and are committed to making the camping experience special for each individual.
The Salvation Army Tampa Command also offers a low-cost summer day camp for a limited number of local at-risk children.
To send a needy child to camp or provide snacks or camp necessities for campers, please contact Moira Hinson at 813-224-9119, email her at email@example.com. org or send your donation to: The Salvation Army Tampa, Summer Campa, P.O. Box 2839, Tampa, FL 33601-2839.

Preliminary examination of the psychometric properties of the Psychiatric Scepticism Scale. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. Despite much commentary on "psychiatric skepticism", there remains a dearth of appropriate psychometric scales for the measurement of this concept. To overcome this limitation, the present study examined the psychometric properties and correlates of the recently developed Psychiatric Scepticism Scale (PSS). A total of 564 individuals from the community in London, England, completed the PSS along with measures of anti-scientific attitudes, attitudes to authority, knowledge of mental health disorders, and demographics. Results showed that the PSS has a one-dimensional factor structure with very good internal consistency. In addition, it showed adequate convergent (anti-scientific attitudes, knowledge of mental health disorders) and construct validity (attitudes to authority, religiosity). Results also showed that there were small but significant differences in psychiatric skepticism by ethnicity and education, but not sex or previous diagnosis of mental health disorder. These results confirm that the PSS has adequate psychometric properties for the measurement of psychiatric skepticism.

Civil law enforcement is the original function of a Sheriff's office. In old England the first sheriffs were selected by the King to collect taxes and that is still a substantial part of our duties today, even though the Sheriff is an elected official. It has been said that the law is 90 percent civil and 10 percent criminal. This is, most likely, the origin of the saying, 'possession is 9/10 of the law' because civil law does indeed deal with people's Real and Personal possessions
The Sheriff's Office has the authority and duty to intervene in matters of a criminal nature. This is not true in civil matters. In order for the Sheriff' to become involved in anything of a civil nature, he must have a court-issued document in hand that specifies certain actions that he must take on behalf of the plaintiff. The deputies of the Ector County Sheriff are not attorneys and so are not able to give any legal advice. We urge anyone with legal concerns to contact an attorney.
The Civil Office serves papers pertaining to Child Support, Divorces, Small Claims Lawsuits, Various Writs, Evictions, Garnishments, Delinquent Taxes, & Tax Sales.
The Ector County Sheriff's Office has 2 specially trained deputies that respond to persons in a mental health crisis. The goal of these officers is to divert mental health consumers from the Criminal Justice System, when appropriate, and connect them with necessary mental health services. Both these officers are licensed peace officers, who have successfully completed the TCLOSE Mental Health Certification Course.
The Warrant Section consists of 2 Warrant officers. An average of 702 warrants come into this office each month. An average of 1,123 Warrants are served each month by a combined effort of the Ector County Sheriff's Office, the Odessa Police Department, DPS, County Attorney Investigators, UTPB Police, OC Police and the ECISD Police, as well as Ector County warrants served by out of county and state agencies.
Warrants served range from Class 'C' misdemeanor to Capital Felony.

Maverick Guitar Builder Makes Music Out of Steel and Weather
- |
- 7:00 pm |
- Permalink
Everywhere you look in Trussart's shop there's a guitar you want to play or a pile of parts you want to see come together. Once all the pieces are on the bench, a guitar takes about two weeks to build. He assembles about 300 a year
"They're all different," he said. "They're all custom."
The list of people chicken-pickin' a Trussart includes Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Sonny Landreth, Billy Gibbons and Billy Corgan. They all paid full price, too. Trussart says he can't afford to give away guitars. Even though they start at $4,000 apiece, he isn't getting rich.
"People realize how much work goes into each guitar and they realize it's worth the price," he said. "It's a passion. If you want to make money, I don't advise you do what I'm doing."

The Warrior Dash in Mountain City, Georgia
If you are a fan of extreme sports – Warrior Dash is definitely the event for you! Warrior Dash races are held all over North America, with most of the events in the United States. Pennie Tour traveled to Mountain City, Georgia for a peek at the 2011 Warrior Dash.
Hosted by Red Frog events, Warriors conquer extreme obstacles, push their limits and celebrate with live music, beer and warrior helmets!
Warrior Dash is a 6K run that involves climbing, sliding, crawling through mud under barbed wire and leaping through flames just to name a few! Needless to say, it is not for the faint of heart!
Participants have to register in advance for the specific location where they will compete. Runners get Warrior Dash gear and a medal for completing the race. A small electronic devise is worn on each runner's foot to keep track of the time to complete the race. The race is run in waves, with new waves starting every half hour in order to eliminate crowding on the courses.
The Mountain City, Georgia race was held over a weekend and offered runners two different days to race. Anyone who is 14 years old or older at the date of the race is allowed to participate.
The best part of Warrior Dash was the people! Most participants dress up, some come in groups, many have themes and everyone is prepared to unleash their inner warrior! Any costume is acceptable according to the rule that no costume can "harm other participants". Pennie Tour encounterd Fred Flinstone, Smurfs, Brides, Cougars and even the Incredible Hulk!
Touted as "The Craziest Frickin' Day of Your Life" Warrior Dash is definitely a race like no other. The event itself states that Warrior Dash is not most races. Warrior Dash does what Warrior Dash wants to do.
The Georgia Renaissance Festival in Fairburn, Georgia – Podcast
FAIRBURN, GEORGIA – The Pennie Tour visited The Georgia Renaissance Festival during pirate weekend on May 22nd, 2011. The Georgia Renaissance Festival recreates a fun and inviting 16th century European faire. The Fairburn, Georgia location offers 10 stages of music and comedy shows, a cast of nearly 1,000 costumed characters, all against a permanent backdrop of Tudor homes and cottages.
Come early to take in all that the faire has to offer. Shopping at the artists market is like being in a real European faire. Our favorites include Heirloom Jewelers and the many bath and candle shops. Over 150 master artisans demonstrate daily the art of weaving, spinning, glass blowing, sculpting, and leather crafting just to name a few.
Shopping of course, works up an appetite. Of course there are turkey legs, but the food at the Renaissance Festival is not your ordinary faire food. One can indulge on Steak on a Stake, Pork Loin on a Stick, The King;s Weinie, and our favorite – fryed pickles. Followed by fabulous desserts such as chocolate covered strawberries, apple dumpling Sunday, or peach cobbler for those Georgia Peach lovers. The Festival offers hundreds of items to choose from!
Staying hydrated is very important when exploring the European village. Mead, ale, domestic and imported beer and wine seemed to be the adult drinks of choice, with many sporting their own souvenier half-yards and mugs.
The highlight of the faire was The Joust – where knights in shining armour, guide their steeds and joust with authentic weapons. This event gets the crowds cheering and waving colorful pennants all rooting for their favorite knight! Other shows include the unconventional Hey Nunnie! Nunnie!, The Mud Show, the hilarious Tortuga Twins (offering G and Mature Adults Only show versions – choose wisely), The Ded Bob Sho and many others to enjoy!
The Renaissance festival offers many different themed weekends. Pennie Tour enjoyed Pirate's Weekend……what do you a call a group of Pirates? A parcel of pirates? A pack of pirates? A crew of pirates? Whatever the case, Pennie Tour enjoyed Pirates, shows, food, shopping, sipping, playtrons, pub sing – we had so much fun experiencing all the many aspects that the Georgia Renaissance Festival had to offer!
The Pennie Tour in New Orleans!
NEW ORLEANS, LA – December 2010 – New Orleans is well known for its annual festivals, such as Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras…..but Pennie Tour visited to experience a
French creole Christmas! Famous for jazz, beignets from Café du mond , Bourban
Street, Superbowl winners New Orleans Saints, and the city's distinct above ground tombs and voodoo – but who knew this city could be so much fun over the holidays????
Pennie Tour partied in the French Quarter where party goers had fun until the wee
holiday hours! The subtropical weather made the North Pole seem very far away. Mrs. Claus will need to pack a miniskirt for her next holiday visit to New Orleans!
Famous for its cuisine, Pennie Tour wanted to find out the best Creole food New Orleans had to offer. Turtle Soup anyone? Pennie Tour also was on a quest to find the best Bloody Mary's in the crescent city. What better complement to Creole food than a zesty Bloody Mary!!
What will you see on Bourban Street? A parade – of course. Parades are almost a daily ritual. Pub crawls – you bet! Krewe of Kringle is one of the many pub crawls during the holidays! As always, Pennie Tour loved the talented street performers and locals full of information about their beloved city.
New Orleans is known for its unique musical culture such as zydeco, Cajun and delta
blues but have you heard of a jazz funeral? A spin on the tradition of military brass band funerals, traditional New Orleans funerals feature sad music on the way to the cemetery and happier jazz music on the way back. Sunday brunch at The Commander's palace in the garden district, is the perfect place to experience the second line dance, as well as an exquisite assortment of local creole food and of course – one of the best bloody mary's in town!
New Orleans – a great holiday adventure!
Oktoberfest 2010 in Helen, Georgia – Podcast
HELEN, GEORGIA – Pennie Tour visited the North Georgia town of Helen to partake in Oktoberfest 2010. Not sure what we liked better – the Ompah music or the Bavarian beer! Since 1970, Georgia's tranquil little town of Helen transforms into the ultimate North Georgia party town! Helen's Oktoberfest offers Bavarian food, chicken dancing, Polka dancers in native costume, and German beer.
Helen became a tourist attraction after the town changed its appearance to make the store fronts look like a Bavarian Alps village. Helen copied Munich, Germany and started celebrating Oktoberfest to draw in even more tourists. Nestled along the Chattahoochee River, Helen receives many tourists in the summer months that take advantage of the river tubing, hiking and other outdoor activities offered. When fall arrives, even more people invade this Bavarian town to view the changing leaves and to involve themselves in Oktoberfest!
Helen's Oktoberfest begins on the second Thursday of September and runs through the first Sunday of November. A parade on the first Saturday of the festival kicks off the celebration. Pennie Tour took in the Bavarian influence of the partygoers and even experienced Helen's famous dancing man who is a staple of Oktoberfest at Café International.
Although the entire town participates in the Oktoberfest, Oompah-central is the Festhalle, where the bands play throughout the day. Can hang out in the Festhalle all day – you can purchase your cold beer (Leinenkugel is made in Milwaukee) and hot off the grill German-style wursts (sausages), listen to the band and dance! The most popular dance in Helen during Oktoberfest is the Chicken Dance. The "Chicken Dance" is a Swiss oompah song from the 1950s that has become a traditional dance of Oktoberfest.
Oktoberfest lasts into the wee hours of the night. This year's newest attraction was King Ludwig's Bier Garden, which opened in September, where there was dancing and even more German beer! Festival attendees are not allowed to walk through the town of Helen with alcoholic drinks (to the dismay of many), so the Bier Garden proved to be the choice of many because of its open-air venue, music and outside dance floor.
Visit Helen, Georgia the next time you are in the mood for bratwurst, or even Weiner schnitzel. A visit during Oktoberfest will make you feel as if you were in Munich! Hotels fill up fast – so it is important to book a hotel early. DANKE SCHÖN!
Stone Mountain, Georgia – Miller Lite Chili Cookoff 2010
STONE MOUNTAIN, GEORGIA – The Pennie Tour's latest episode is now available online. In this latest episode, The Pennie Tour visited the Miller Lite Atlanta Chili Cook-Off. Stone Mountain, Georgia hosted this year's 31st annual Great Miller Lite Chili Cook-Off on September 25, 2010. The inaugural event started in 1979 as a way to bring people together to enjoy the South's best chili recipes. This fun event has grown and has something for everyone – great music, food and games for the whole family! This year's event drew over 300 teams competing and over 14,000 attendees enjoying chili! 100% of all proceeds help support Camp Twin Lakes.
Featured bands included Jumping Jack Flash, The Alabama Blues Brothers, Slow Hand and Iron Mullet. Awards were given to Best Chili, Best Brunswick Stew, Best Corn Bread, People's Choice, and Best Showmanship. Please check out the web for the Atlanta Chili CookOff for a full list of winners.
Pirates, Chili, and Beer – Oh My! Lots of well constructed sets and role-playing by the competitors. We were told that those competing usually arrive the day before the event. Some camp out, build their creative sets, start their recipes early and enjoy themselves during the Saturday event. Some competitors even start their planning processes a whole year in advance!
This year's host was radio personality Southside Steve, who is part of the popular radio show The Regular Guys on Atlanta's Rock Station, Rock 100.5. Sensitive Southside Steve was more than happy to share withPennie Tour his favorite ingredients for chili and his softer side to entice the ladies. Yeah, C'mon!
Pennie Tour looks forward to next year's newest chili recipes at the 2011 Great Miller Lite Chili Cook-Off!
Destin, Florida – Labor Day 2010 – No Oil!
Pennie Tour visited the coastal community of Destin, Florida over Labor Day, 2010. Destin is part of Florida's Emerald Coast and is a world-class beach and fishing resort community that has been hit hard by the current oil spill. Even though Pennie Tour saw no sign of oil or tar balls, everyone seemed to be concerned about the effects and repercussions of this unfortunate disaster.
The pristine white sands of Florida were scattered with some seaweed and washed up sea creatures. We talked to a lot of people on the beach and most everyone wanted to talk about BP, the current oil spill and these things that were washed up on the beach! The washed up sea creatures were not everywhere, only washing ashore in certain areas. There was also no trace of oil – but everyone was guessing – is this happening because of the oil spill? We tracked down local lifeguards and even though they could not talk to us on camera, they did inform us that these creatures were Sea Hares – many different species that often can produce purple or reddish ink . Local sources went on to say that the occurrence of these creatures washing up on the beach was a common event that happened every year in different locations and that this was NOT oil related as a lot of people suspected.
Destin, Florida is a great vacation spot that offers great accommodations, events and activities, restaurants, attractions, shopping, deep sea fishing charter boats, golf courses, and water sports along Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast.
Bele Chere 2010 – Asheville, North Carolina
July 23-25
Another great festival in Asheville, North Carolina! Bele Chere is the largest free street festival in the Southeast. This three day event takes place in beautiful Western North Carolina. An annual event, Bele Chere sends the streets of downtown Asheville into a unique eclectic street party.
The hot July heat did not keep folks away. The event drew more than 350,000 attendees. Festival goers experienced the arts, culture, entertainment, and food. The purchase of a $2 armband allowed those 21 and older to buy drinks such as beer and wine from beverage stations (Friday and Saturday) and to roam the designated streets.
Asheville is home to many different breweries and many enjoyed the local beer from Asheville Brewing Company, French Broad Brewing Company, Highland Brewing Company, Green Man Brewing Company and Pisgah Brewing Company.
The many artists and street performers make this street festival fun and unique!
Committed to music, Bele Chere offers a variety of local, regional, and national performers covering all genres – all for FREE! Performances this year were not as big as in years past. Featured past performers have included Train, Gin Blossoms, The Wailers, Travis Tritt, Cowboy Mouth and Edwin McCain. The economy dictated venues, but the event was still free and the musicians that did perform did a fantastic job with the crowds. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Toubab Krewe, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Southern Culture on the Skids were just a few of the performers on stage during the 32nd annual Bele Chere – and they rocked the streets!
Bele Chere is fun for the whole family. Many dance lessons were offered such as Swing and Zydeco and the popular Community Drum Circle is always a fun and unique experience. The Children's Area even offered pilates and storytelling!
The term Bele Chere is believed to have come from an ancient Scottish slang meaning "beautiful living". It appeared that everyone in attendance was indeed celebrating the beauty of Bele Chere.

2 AggravatingBrausch | 07/08/2007 | See all Brausch's reviews (187)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Good story, decent graphics and action are ruined by locked, unfriendly camera angles that make the game very frustrating
4 ScaringRedfield | 19/10/2008 | See all Redfield's reviews (57)It's a "clone" of Resident Evil 4, but what of a clone!The game is very enjoyable, has great graphics and it scares you continuosly.If you prefer, you can play with the combination mouse/keyboard and the games becomes a bit easier than with a joypad (because it is easier to aim at the enemies).A good story (although not at the level of the masterpiece Capcom) and a lot of fun await you.
5 RESIDENT EVIL @ ITS BEST !!! MUST HAVE !!!!!!!!!NEONDVD | 15/07/2008 | See all NEONDVD's reviews (45)great suspense, many shocking effects,excellent graphics and special effects even in 2008 !!!fantastic camera-viewpoints!!! put the "on shoulder camera" to right-mousebutton !!!cool story (check out the trailer), very cool lickers ans other monsters!!!the game is very easy to edit. you can change almost everything, for example walking speed etc, since its all in a text-file.you will have lots of fun hours to play !!!
2 Alright horror game but too many flaws to make it good!TheNomadSoul07 | 24/06/2009 | See all TheNomadSoul07's reviews (76)This is quite a decent horror game but it's not good enough. Though the gameplay can be gitchy at times and the controls are sloppy for me. It's one of those games that you say "this is been done hundred times before and not a very good one". So basically it's not good but it's not bad either. It's just a decent game, a rental at best.It doesn't offer anything new to the horror genre in video gaming and like I said, it's shows it's weakest in it's gameplay & controls. Although the story and the graphics are great but still that's not enough from my point of view and I'm a guy who loves horror games. So as a fan of the horror genre this to me is a disappointing game. But as a whole it's decent at best but with too many flaws to make you wanna buy it. I recommend renting it or just get a loan of your friend's if he or she has it and judge for yourself. For me it's just not as good as all the other horror games out there.

5 Hidden Gems at E3 2012
There were a lot of games that got a ton of hype like Call of Duty Black Ops II, The Last of Us, and Resident Evil 6. But there were several games that stood out to me where the lines were short to nonexistent, had less coverage than some of the big names, but the gameplay was fantastic. I already talked about Final Fantasy Theatrhythm in another post, and stated it to be the best of E3, so I will not go on talking about that one. Instead, here is a list of 5 games (in no particular order) that I felt were the hidden gems of E3 2012.
Note: Release Dates are based on the North American date.
Heroes of Ruin for 3DS
(Release Date: July 17th, 2012)
This game had little to no line any time I approached it. This game is a basic hack 'n slash for the 3DS, but also allows users to play together with up to four players. Not only that, but you can seemlessly jump in and out out of other people's game. A multiplayer hack n slash is always welcomed to a system that so far has so few. It integrates both StreetPass and SpotPass technology. With StreetPass you can trade items with other players and unlock new equipment. What's also neat about this game is the achievement system. Players can receive and complete different quests and tasks sent to their 3DS everyday. Heroes of Ruin is developed by n-Space and published by Square-Enix.
SunFlowers for Vita
(Release Date: TBA)
Oh, SunFlowers, how you stole my soul during E3. I was getting tired of the lines so I jumped on a Vita that had no one paying attention to. The game immediately captured my attention. Basically you control the Sun with the touch screen on the back, and then shoot rays of light down at the flowers below. Shoot a direct hit on the flower, and you scorch the flower to death. But if you shoot the ray of light directly over a cloud, the ray turns into a drop of rain. The rain will the then help the flower grow. There are different levels of difficulty to the game. Storm clouds cause your ray of light to turn into lightning. I returned to SunFlowers multiple times when I just wanted to break away from the crowds and have some good, clean fun. It's a cutesy game for sure, and utilizes every function of the Playstation Vita. It is played holding the Vita console vertically, not horizontally which felt weird at first, but is easy to adapt to. SunFlowers is by The Game Atelier the creators of Flying Hamster.
Dishonored for PC, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
(Release Date: Oct 9th, 2012)
Prior to E3 I had never heard of this game. This is the exact opposite of the clean fun I mentioned with SunFlowers. Dishonored puts you in control of Corvo Atano, a once bodyguard for the Empress. Being framed for her murder, he goes forth to try to set the record straight. It's a first person, stealth, action-adventure. In Dishonored, the player can complete any given mission how they choose. Whether you're more into stealth, or just action pack fun full of grenades, gadgets, swords, and guns, Dishonored appeals to players of all types. It's definitely not for the light at heart. The setting is a Steampunk style, and the player is given all sorts of equipment and abilities to use. I was completely impressed by the presentation of this game, and was surprisingly one of the most memorable games I saw at E3. Dishonored is developed by Arcane Studios and published by Bethesda.
Code of Princess for 3DS
(Release Date: Fall 2012)
For those of you who like games like Guardian Heroes, look no further. Though I don't see anything too different about the gameplay that I haven't seen in games before in the short demo I played of Code of Princess, I enjoyed it nonetheless. The visuals are beautiful while the story has a sort of charm behind it you don't see in every game. In Code of Princess, you play as the Princess who has a kind heart and hates fighting. Despite that, she is the only hope to save the world. I recall a line of dialog that went along the lines of, "Can't we just all hug?" (not exact word for word quote) by the Princess while the others had to remind her you can't hug your way through battle. Code of Princess will also feature up to four players in cooperative or competitive play. Those who preorder Code of Princess will get a Sound & Visual book. Code of Princess is published by Atlus. Continue here for more screenshots.
Metro: Last Light for PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3
(Release Date: 2013)
Right off the bat during the live demo, one could see how haunting and captivating Metro: Last Light will be. The game has a sense of urgency as a player must pay attention to their oxygen tank, recharge their flash light, wipe the blood and gore off their gas mask, in addition to all the surprises each twist and turn provides. Metro: Last Light is the sequel to Metro: 2033 and is a post-apocalyptic survival horror / action game developed by 4A Games and published by THQ. Even as someone who isn't normally interested in survival horror, I was immediately enthralled by the story and all the high stress and tension situations Metro: Last Light presents. This game will definitely be something to keep on your radar in the future months.

European Medicines Agency Recommends Changes in Use of Ponatinib in Order to Minimise Risk of Thrombosis
Recommendations follow a review of updated clinical trial data indicating that thrombosis was occurring at a higher rate than was observed at the time of the ponatinib's initial authorisation
- Date: 29 Nov 2013
- Topic: Anticancer agents & Biologic therapy
The European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has made a number of recommendations to help minimise the risk of thrombs obstructing arteries or veins in patients taking the leukaemia medicine ponatinib (Iclusig).
The CHMP recommends that Iclusig should not be used in patients who have had a heart attack or stroke in the past, unless the potential benefits to them outweigh the risks. In addition, the cardiovascular risks of all patients should be assessed and measures should be taken to reduce risks before starting and during treatment with Iclusig. Patients who have high blood pressure should have their blood pressure controlled, and treatment with Iclusig should be stopped immediately in any patient with signs of thrombs obstructing arteries or veins. Further details on these recommendations can be found below.
The CHMP's recommendations follow a review of updated clinical trial data indicating that thrombosis was occurring at a higher rate than was observed at the time of the medicine's initial authorisation. Conditions related to thrombosis, such as heart attacks and strokes, were already considered to be possible side effects of Iclusig and were listed in the EU product information.
Since the medicine's initial approval in July 2013, its use has been limited to patients who could not be treated with other medicines of the same class, for example, because patients were intolerant to the other medicines or their disease was resistant to them.
The CHMP recommendations are broadly in line with previous advice of the Agency's Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) and an opinion will be sent to the European Commission for an update of the EU product information.
The Agency now plans to conduct a further in-depth review of relevant data on the benefits and risks of Iclusig and will make recommendations on whether there should be further changes to how the medicine is used.
Information to healthcare professionals
Following a review of the data on the risk of occlusive vascular events with Iclusig, the European Medicines Agency has concluded that healthcare professionals may continue to use ponatinib in its authorised indication with increased caution. The Agency has made the following recommendations:
Iclusig should not be used in patients with a history of heart attack or stroke, unless the potential benefits of treatment outweigh the risks.
The cardiovascular status of patients should be assessed and cardiovascular risk factors actively managed before starting treatment with Iclusig. Cardiovascular status should continue to be monitored and optimised during treatment.
Hypertension should be controlled during treatment with Iclusig and healthcare professionals should consider interrupting treatment if hypertension is not controlled.
Patients should be monitored for evidence of vascular occlusion or thromboembolism, and treatment should be interrupted immediately if this occurs.
The recommendations are based on a review of data from clinical studies, including two ongoing studies (a phase I dose-finding study and a pivotal phase II study), which showed a higher incidence of arterial and venous thrombotic events in patients treated with Iclusig than was observed at the time of marketing authorisation. In the phase I study, preliminary analysis of follow-up data from September 2013 showed a rate of serious occlusive vascular events of 22% (18 out of 81 patients) while in a preliminary analysis of data from the phase II study the rate was 13.8% (62 out of 449 patients). Median treatment duration was 2.7 years in the phase I study and 1.3 years in the phase II study.
In addition, in a recently discontinued phase III study that compared Iclusig with imatinib with a median treatment duration of 3 months, there was a higher number of occlusive vascular events reported in the Iclusig arm, although the data from this study are still preliminary.
The reported events from the studies include cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, peripheral vascular and venous thrombotic events. These events were seen in patients with and without risk factors but were seen more frequently in older patients and patients with a history of ischaemia (such as heart attacks) and strokes, high blood pressure, diabetes or blood fat disorders.
Information to patients
Iclusig remains available as a treatment for leukaemia. However, new measures are to be taken to help reduce the risk of conditions associated with blood clots (such as heart attacks, strokes and deep vein thrombosis).
Your doctor will assess your risk of heart or circulatory problems and will take measures to reduce these risks before and during treatment with Iclusig.
If you have high blood pressure, your doctor will advise on how to reduce your blood pressure and may consider interrupting your treatment if your blood pressure remains too high.
If you have had a heart attack or stroke in the past, your doctor will carefully consider whether treatment with Iclusig is appropriate for you.
If you have been prescribed Iclusig, you should be alert for the signs and symptoms of blood clots, which may include severe pain or swelling in the legs, sudden unexplained breathlessness, rapid breathing or cough, chest pain, and face, arm or leg weakness or numbness. In case you notice any of these signs and symptoms you should seek medical advice immediately.
Please speak to your doctor or pharmacist should you have any questions about your treatment.
More about the medicine
Iclusig is an anticancer medicine that contains the active substance ponatinib. It is used to treat adults with the following types of leukaemia:
chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML);
acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in patients who are Philadelphia-chromosome positiv' (Ph+).
Iclusig is used in patients who do not respond to dasatinib or nilotinib; or who cannot tolerate dasatinib or nilotinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not considered appropriate. It is also used in patients who have a genetic mutation T315I which makes them resistant to treatment with imatinib, dasatinib or nilotinib.
Iclusig was authorised centrally in the EU in July 2013.

Notations/Bruce Nauman: Days and Giorni
November 21, 2009 - April 4, 2010
Bruce Nauman is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential artists living today. Bruce Nauman: Topological Gardens, an exhibition organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, represented the United States in the 53rd International Art Exhibition—La Biennale de Venezia and received the Venice Biennale's top honor, the Golden Lion award for Best National Participation. Days and Giorni—Nauman's new compelling sound installations recorded in two languages, English and Italian—have traveled from the Biennale to Philadelphia where they are presented in the main Museum building's Gisela and Dennis Alter Gallery (176) and the Perelman Building's Exhibition Gallery.
In both Days and Giorni, the days of the week are recited in subtly varying combinations written by Nauman, read aloud by a range of individual participants and recorded as individual audio tracks. The voices differ in language—English in Days and Italian in Giorni—and also rhythm and progression. Whereas the voices that comprise Days were recorded and edited over a long period of time, Nauman recorded the participants that gave voices to Giorni during a single day in Venice where he worked with students and faculty of Università Iuav di Venezia (which also served as a venue for the multi-site Topological Gardens exhibition in addition to the U.S. Pavilion and the Exhibition Spaces at the Ca'Foscari University).

text: This occurs when a hard drive writes a file in multiple segments instead of in a physically contiguous area. A higher level of fragmentation means that most files are fragmented, and many files contain lots of fragments. A low level of fragmentation implies that more files are in one piece, and that if files are fragmented they are only in a few fragments. For example, say you have two files, file A and file B and you write them both to a hard drive. A low level of fragmentation may be represented by: AAAABBBB. A high level of fragmentation may be represented by: AABBABABA. Fragmentation is caused by deletion of small files, and then trying to fit larger files into the leftover spaces. Over time it is a common occurrence that is unavoidable in most file systems.

Usher's stepson Kile Glover was put to rest this morning, July 21, after suffering injuries in a jet ski accident that occurred earlier this month — so sad. A source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Usher and ex-wife Tameka Foster are sad, but relieved Kile is in a better place. Read on for all the details.
Usher and his ex-wife Tameka Foster sadly laid her 11-year-old son Kile Glover to rest this morning.
As tragic as the news of a child passing is, Usher and Tameka are said to be leaning heavily on their faith at this time and know that Kile is in a better place.
A source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that "the family is devastated but yet relieved because they know he is in a better place and they are really focusing on faith right now to get through it all. It was ultimately his mother's decison after speaking with doctors and going through a lot of praying."
Kile was injured on July 7 while riding in an inner tube on the back of a pontoon. A family friend reportedly, riding behind on a jet ski, lost control and struck Kile — leaving him brain dead. Kile remained on life support for two weeks before being unplugged this morning.
We are keeping Usher and his family in our thoughts at this time. Celebrities such as Justin Bieber have been pouring out their support to Usher and Tameka as well.

My thoughts and prayers are definitely with the parents, family and friends of the deceased during this very hard time.
Although some are offended by Usher receiving condolensces for this child's death, without him being in this child's life, the world really wouldn't know the child, or his biological parents.

Wish You Were Here, at the Wolfsonian, is a snappy show that peeks into Miami's glorified past as a tourist destination. Post cards, travel brochures, and other artifacts from the museum's collection of stylish ephemera illustrate how the snowbird's-eye-view of a burgeoning South Florida was shaped by advertising images and slogans. Featuring material from the Twenties to the Forties, "Wish You Were Here" evokes the golden days when enthusiastic tour operators and hotel owners lauded Miami and its beaches as the the "Sunshrine of America," the "Magic City," the "American Riviera," or even the "Vacationland of the World."
Neatly packed into the back corner of the Wolfsonian's seventh-floor gallery, the exhibition features a display of vintage color post cards. These include scenes of settlers in the Everglades trading fur with Miccosukee Indians, and renderings of Art Deco hotels. Elegant black-and-white photographs of the hotels, notable homes, and office buildings of the period hang on the wall. More unusual is a small assortment of matchbooks from area businesses that are delightful examples of a dying art form. Matchbooks from Miami Beach's Rumba Casino feature the requisite randy dancers, while a suave man in a Panama hat smokes a cigarette on a Burdines matchbook advertising "Palm Beach suits." A matchbook cover from the Five O'Clock Club on Collins Avenue and 22nd Street adorned with a Deco-design clock and the slogan "Drinks on the house at 5:00" is enough to stir up a desperate thirst for martinis.
Some examples of hotel souvenirs attest to the cachet once afforded a Miami vacation -- a colorful deck of Delano playing cards, a Biltmore tie clip. The epitome of tourist propaganda here is an undated Dade County promotional film that relentlessly pitches Miami as a visitors' paradise. Comparable to an infomercial, the film plays out a shopworn boy-meets-girl story with marvelous Miami as the setting. Vintage shots of locales like Parrot Jungle are riveting, but the promo becomes camp comedy when one of the characters pants over the "scenery" at poolside bathing suit fashion shows, lauds Miami's "good neighbors policy" (he obviously hasn't been driving on U.S. 1 lately), or raves about "the gay hotels of Miami Beach." About twenty minutes long, the film is part of a montage of old tourist promos and newsclips put together by the Louis Wolfson II Media History Center that plays continuously on a monitor in the gallery. The kitsch factor is high in these often corny segments, but the truth is the innocent Miami seen on-screen looks very inviting.
You'll probably be longing for a time gone by when you leave the Wolfsonian, and A Century of Architecture in Miami in the auditorium of the library's downtown main branch will stoke those feelings of nostalgia, while providing some reassurance that our collective civic memories live on in the city's remaining buildings. The show was conceived by the library's always conscientious curator Barbara Young, who makes a case for preservation in a display designed to "stimulate not only memories about the past but also serious concerns for the future" of local historic buildings.
Young and her crew started six months ago with a survey that asked resident architects, community activists, artists, and others to name the most significant buildings constructed in Greater Miami over the last century. The now-vacant Freedom Tower was the big winner with fifteen votes. The most popular buildings also included the Gusman Theater, the Dinner Key Terminal (now the Miami City Hall), the Spanish Monastery, and the Dade County Courthouse. Other entries ranged from an Art Deco gas station at Coral Way and Seventeenth Avenue to the Orange Bowl, the Miami International Airport Concourse A, and the new Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami. Some selected buildings no longer exist -- Julia Tuttle's home, the original Roney Plaza Hotel and its extravagant gardens, the Coral Gables Coliseum, and others.
The theme of this show is a good one, as it succeeds in giving viewers a sense of Miami's architectural history while promoting preservation by documenting the wonderful structures that have criminally been lost to development. But the creative presentation of this modest exhibition also makes it a real pleasure to look at. The buildings are depicted in fine art photographs, drawings, and paintings. These include Steven Brooke's intense, romantic Ektacolor photo of the Gusman interior, Oscar Thomas's naive painting of Overtown's Lyric Theater depicting an elegant black couple standing outside, and Emilio Sanchez's drawing of a wooden house that is an example of the Bahamian vernacular style in Miami's black neighborhoods. On the back wall, Haydee, Sahara, and Michael Scull's 3-D construction shows Art Deco activist Barbara Capitman at the Cardozo Hotel, with the Glenn Miller orchestra playing in the background. These and other works, obviously labors of love, succeed in inspiring appreciation for Miami's eclectic architecture.

Red-veined dock is part of the Rumex genus. Its scientific name is Rumex sanguineus. The botanical name epithet for Red-veined dock (sanguineus) means 'blood-red'.
This plant has dark green leaves marked with deep red or red-purple veins. Like other sorrels, the leaves have a juicy lemon taste. The flavor is more intense in the fall than in the spring.
It is an edible vegetable / herb that typically grows as a perennial, which is defined as a plant that matures and completes its lifecycle over the course of three years or more. Red-veined dock normally grows with a forb habit to a mature height of 91.0 cm (that's 2.96 feet imperial). This plant tends to bloom in mid summer.Red-veined dock is normally quite a low maintenance plant and is normally very easy to grow - great for beginner gardeners!
This plant info is provided by the myfolia gardener's wiki. All details about Red-veined dock have been kindly provided by our members.
How to grow Red-veined dock
Likes light shade and moist soil. Harvest tender young leaves from the sides of the plant in spring and fall. When seed stalks appear in mid-summer, cut them back. The roots will then send up new leaves which can be harvested. Once the plant is well-established (after 2-3 years), you can cut the entire plant back to stimulate new growth.
All sorrels have a tap root. If you must move or transplant it, dig as deep as you can.
Use Zone 4 - Zone 8 as your guideline for the appropriate climate for this plant.See our list of companion Plants for Red-veined dock to see which plants you should plant in close proximity to encourage growth.

Transplanting Red-veined dock
Harvesting Red-veined dock
Cut leaves from the outside of the plant. If they are tough, discard them. Avoid cutting from the center of the plant, as doing so may damage the crown.
Common Red-veined dock problems
These problems, diseases and pests are known to affect Red-veined dock plants:
