♦ In 2006, the Redemptorist Order and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia put out a Request for Proposals for the sale of the St. Boniface Church complex after determining that the extent and cost of repairs needed to fix the church was too high. Before the church closed and when the complex operated at full capacity, the complex also housed a school with over 200 students, a convent with residences for nuns, a rectory with office and residences for priests and a community center that also hosted a technical school.
♦ In November 2006, NSCA concludes a strategic planning process funded by the Wachovia Foundation. The Wachovia Neighborhood Strategic Plan includes a neighborhood survey that, among other things, asks residents what they want to see happen to the St. Boniface site. 300 neighborhood residents answer the survey. The top four community suggested uses are:
♦ In October 2007, the Board of Directors moves to purchase the St. Boniface complex.
♦ On June 20, 2008, the City of Philadelphia commits $500,000 towards demolition expenses for the church building.
♦ In the fall of 2008, NSCA holds a series of community meetings to further gauge the Norris Square community's desires for the St. Boniface complex. The results of the Wachovia survey are discussed as well as different housing options available for the site. 60 residents attend the meeting at the Lighthouse on October 22, 2008. 115 residents attend the meeting at St. Boniface School on November 5, 2008. Based on these meetings and the survey, the NSCA Board of Directors approves affordable housing as a feature for the St. Boniface site at their board retreat.
♦ In 2009, volunteer groups from Temple School of Law, Villanova University and World Changers begin the process of cleaning out the Community Center and painting the Rectory.
♦ On November 30, 2009, the Community Design Collaborative awards NSCA a service grant for a team of architects, engineers, planners, historic preservationists and cost estimators to volunteer their services to develop a feasibility study for the St. Boniface complex.
"Fall 2009 Service Grants Announced," December 3, 2009 Community Design Collaborative Blog
♦ In February 2010, NSCA is awarded a $9.1 million grant by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP2) through a collaboration of 16 organizations led by the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB). The HUD grant supports the construction of 15 units of affordable housing at the site of St. Boniface, the Las Terrazas single-family housing development on Susquehanna and scattered site rehabilitations of vacant single-family homes throughout the neighborhood.
♦ In July 2010, the Community Design Collaborative completes their feasibility study for the St. Boniface Complex and presents NSCA with concept drawings and recommendations for the use of the site. For more information of the Community Design Collaborative's involvement in the project, check out the link and original concept plans below.

Site Plans and Conceptual Drawings from Community Design Collaborative Feasibility Study
♦ In October 2010, NSCA holds its public Annual Meeting and presents architectural renderings for the housing at St. Boniface from several architects who responded to the Request for Proposals. Community residents were able to vote on which conceptual design they liked best. Resident votes informed the NSCA Board of Director's decision to go with the bid from PZS Architects.

♦ In November 2010, NSCA is awarded $5 million from the state Department of Economic and Community Development's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) with the assistance of Senator Tartaglione.
♦ On March 13, 2011, NSCA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Chicanos Por la Causa, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office approving the project providing that NSCA undertake certain recordation measures to preserve the historic significance of St. Boniface to inform the public.
♦ In October 2011, NSCA presents the community with an update on the progress of the St. Boniface Redevelopment Project at the 2011 Annual Meeting. The Real Estate Departments also hosts a Housing Opportunities Workshop to discuss the St. Boniface Redevelopment Project and other NSCA housing efforts taking place in the neighborhood. The architect from PZS Architects presents the current plans for the housing at St. Boniface. NSCA Real Estate staff members speak about the plan to develop the housing into a Limited Equity Cooperative. An open question and answer period follows were community members give their opinions about the designs and the cooperative housing model.

♦ On April 17, 2012, NSCA, along with community residents, attended a hearing of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission to testify about how Councilwoman Maria Sanchez's rezoning bill would impact the neighborhood and the St. Boniface project. NSCA presented a petition signed by 171 residents to demonstrate the community's opposition to the zoning change pending more information and community input. NSCA also presents 181 letters of support for the St. Boniface project, including the plan to build affordable housing. For more information about Councilwoman Maria Sanchez's rezoning bill, click here.
♦On May 25, 2012, NSCA and Councilwoman Maria Sánchez reached an agreement on the St. Boniface Redevelopment Project. NSCA has agreed to build no more than 8 single family homes on the site of the church. These affordable homeownership units will include two off street parking spaces each. NSCA will also develop an additional 8 off site units of affordable housing on in fill sites near the St. Boniface complex. The Councilwoman has agreed to lend her support to the project, expediting the process of acquring city owned parcels for the development and assisting NSCA is developing a 15 unit cooperative on an alternate site. In addition to helping to identify a suitable half acre parcel, the Councilwoman has agreed to provide $250,000 in support towards its acquisition and development. As a result of the agreement, more affordable homes will be built and rehabilitated including units for homeownership and cooperative living. To read more on the agreement, click here.

text: Report: Unsafe food putting lives at riskBy Todd Sperry, CNNUpdated 5:27 AM ET, Thu October 25, 2012Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 48 million people suffer from foodborne illnesses each year in the United States. Stay safe by following these steps outlined by the Food and Drug Administration:Hide Caption 1 of 7Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – Clean properly: Wash all produce thoroughly with water and/or a vinegar solution before eating. Make sure also to wash your hands and everything else that comes into contact with food. This includes kitchen utensils, cutting boards, countertops, tableware and cookware. Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water for at least 20 seconds before touching food, after handling uncooked meat or produce, and after eating. Make sure you also wash your hands between preparing each type of food.Hide Caption 2 of 7Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – Separate your food: Keep uncooked food from contaminating other food with dangerous bacteria. Separate raw meat, poultry, fish and produce from one another and other foods. Use separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables, or thoroughly clean the cutting board before using it to prepare a different food.Hide Caption 3 of 7Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – Separate your utensils: Be careful not to use the same utensils to prepare different foods without first cleaning the utensils. Finally, don't use the same utensils or dishware for both uncooked and cooked food without cleaning them first.Hide Caption 4 of 7Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – Cook food properly: Keep food out of the danger zone by cooking it thoroughly. The danger zone is where germs thrive, between 40 degrees and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you cook food to at least 140 degrees to kill harmful microorganisms.Hide Caption 5 of 7Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – Check the temperature: Check your food's internal temperature with a food thermometer, but be careful not to contaminate food with a dirty thermometer. Make sure you clean the thermometer as you check each item. A food thermometer is the only way to know if your food is cooked enough. Simply cooking meat until it turns brown may not be an accurate indication of whether your food contains harmful bacteria. If you plan to keep food warm after cooking, make sure the internal temperature doesn't drop below 140 degrees Fahrenheit.Hide Caption 6 of 7Photos: How to keep your food safe 7 photosFood safety tips – Chill: Keep foods cold and chill leftovers quickly. Check your refrigerator with a refrigerator/freezer thermometer to make sure the temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, and make sure your freezer is 0 degrees or below. If you have leftovers or perishable foods, refrigerate or freeze them within two hours (only one hour if the surrounding temperature is above 90 degrees F). If you thaw frozen food, don't leave the food out at room temperature. Thaw the food in the refrigerator. If you need to thaw food quickly, place the food under cold running water or in the microwave. Then cook the food immediately.Hide Caption 7 of 7Story highlights Illnesses linked to food recalls are up 44% from January to September 2012, report saysTainted food sickens 48 million people each year, U.S. Public Interest Research Group saysImplementation of a food-safety act signed into law two years ago has been delayed Instead of improving, the problem of foodborne outbreaks is getting worse, report saysDespite sweeping reform of food safety laws intended to make what we eat less dangerous, the number of Americans falling ill or dying from contaminated food has increased 44% since last year, according to a report released Wednesday. Tainted cantaloupe, unsafe mangoes, meat and the recent peanut butter recall -- which so far has infected 25 people, mostly children, in 19 states -- has left consumers struggling to keep up with the dizzying list of ever-changing toxic edibles. Approximately 48 million people get sick from eating tainted food each year, the report's authors, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group said, arguing more must be done to protect Americans from unsafe food.The report says there were 718 illnesses directly linked to food recalls in 2011. There were 1,035 illnesses from January to September 2012 -- an increase of 44%.Multistate beef recall tied to potential E. coli contaminationTwo years ago, President Barack Obama signed into law the Food Safety Modernization Act, a vast piece of legislation giving the Food and Drug Administration, among other things, more power to be proactive holding food suppliers responsible for foodborne illness outbreaks. But while some parts of the law have been enacted, the vast majority of the law's regulatory framework remains in limbo, sitting in the White House Office of Management and Budget, with no clear timetable for implementation. When asked about the delays, OMB spokeswoman Moira Mack told CNN, "We have taken key steps, including putting out a food safety rule cracking down on salmonella in eggs and expanding E. coli testing for beef. We are working as expeditiously as possible to implement the food safety legislation we fought so hard for. When it comes to rules with this degree of importance and complexity, it is critical that we get it right."The report also takes issue with the delayed response and plans in Congress to cut FDA funding."In February, the president's budget requested $4.5 billion for the Food and Drug Administration. But budget proposals in both the Senate and the House fall below this target, coming in $600 (million) to $700 million below full funding, which the Office of Management and Budget has called 'harmful' to food safety regulations," the Public Interest Research Group says.Just WatchedTotal recall: how to keep your food safereplayMore Videos ...Total recall: how to keep your food safe 04:18PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedFood supply safety and family farmingreplayMore Videos ...Food supply safety and family farming 04:33PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedKeeping food safe during the holidaysreplayMore Videos ...Keeping food safe during the holidays 01:24PLAY VIDEOKellog's recalls Mini-WheatsThe group's report also says the FDA hasn't been able to keep up with increased demands for inspection of imported foods. Nearly 15% of food consumed in the United States is imported, and the FDA's own data indicates two-thirds of the fruits and vegetables on American's dinner plates are from foreign food suppliers. Yet in 2008 the FDA inspected only 153 of roughly 189,000 registered foreign food facilities.Peanut, nut butter recall expandedInstead of improving, the problem of foodborne outbreaks is getting worse, the report says. "When comparing 2010 infection incidences with national health objective targets ... the only incidence rate that meets the target goal was the incidence of infection with E. coli O157," the report says. "The incidence of salmonella was three times the 2010 national health objective target, which is especially alarming, as salmonella causes the majority of hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne disease."The report argues the FDA needs to be provided with funding, develop concrete and specific standards for inspection at all facilities, perform more unannounced inspections, coordinate with other agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and put more resources toward monitoring the causes of foodborne illness. Popcorn recalled due to possible Listeria contaminationFor its part, the FDA told CNN, "The rule-making process can take time, and we are working diligently to get this right. We are confident the end result will be a solid framework to strengthen and modernize our nation's food safety system." The Public Interest Research Group's report joins a growing chorus of food safety advocates demanding increased scrutiny of the U.S. food supply and those calling for complete implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act. The group helped design the framework for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal agency created to regulate the banking industry's consumer marketing tactics. Whether Wednesday's scathing report will lead to similar results remains to be seen.Recall round-up: MoonPies, cookies and imported cheeseMore from healthCan you find the 'best' hospital for you?Coffee is practically a health food: Myth or fact?Parents arrested for not vaccinating children Powered by Livefyre

MixRadio API (previously known as Nokia Music API) is a collection of web service and C# APIs that allow you to offer elements from MixRadio service within the look and feel of your own application. You can display music content such as charts, search results and mixes within your application and integrate with the Nokia MixRadio Windows Phone app to allow your users a full listening experience.
When you use the MixRadio API to build an application, your users can find music from:
The C# API is available for the following platforms:
This documentation covers the MixRadio C# API; the MixRadio REST API is documented at http://nokia.ly/musicrestapidocs.
The launcher APIs in Windows Phone allow an application to integrate with common operating system tasks such as taking a picture, finding an address or a contact, making a call, or saving a ring tone with very little effort. The MixRadio API provides Launchers and API methods that allow integration with MixRadio in the same easy manner.

Crystal Palace co-chairman Steve Parish has admitted that the club made mistakes when recruiting players in the transfer market last summer.
Then manager Ian Holloway signed a number of players, but that did not work out as planned as Palace struggled at the start of the season.
Tony Pulis replaced Holloway as Palace boss in November, and under him the London club finished 11th in the Premier League.
Palace are expected to reinforce their squad this summer, but Parish has insisted that this time they will take a different approach to the transfer market.
\"Last summer wasn't just thrown together,\" he told the Croydon Advertiser.
\"Ian and I and the people we were working with thought about every single player.
\"Obviously Ian had a different style to Tony and so he brought in players who brought a different style.
\"Some of them may not fit with us going forward but they are good players and the club will do OK out of those players, and those players will do OK having been at Crystal Palace and gaining the experience.
\"And in there, there were one or two mistakes, but they weren't mistakes at the time. Some players didn't settle or maybe some didn't see eye-to-eye when they first arrived, for example.
\"Sometimes it just doesn't work out for you at a club. Maybe you don't take your chances or it just doesn't happen for you on the pitch.
\"I am really comfortable with last summer. I think we'll look at less options this summer because Tony has got a much clearer idea of what he wants.\"

2009 Chrysler 300 Buying Advice
Since its debut in 2004 as an '05 model, the Chrysler 300 has helped lead the rear-wheel-drive renaissance in the U.S., and brought big, bold American sedans back into vogue.
The base Chrysler 300 LX with its 2.7-liter V-6 is a loss-leader; even some midsized cars are better values. More power brings out the best in this platform. While Touring and Limited models with a more-potent 3.5-liter V-6 offer a nice blend of performance and handling, technological advances to the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 make the six-cylinder engines yesterday's news.
Hemi-powered 300Cs have always offered impressive acceleration and reasonable highway fuel economy for a V-8, and in light of revisions to the 5.7-liter Hemi, the rear-wheel drive Chrysler 300C is the way to go.
Avoid the available all-wheel drive, it's not necessary and comprises an insignificant percentage of production, which could possibly hurt parts and service availability in the long term. And consider the Chrysler 300C SRT8 model, with its 425-horsepower 6.1-liter Hemi V-8, only if you're fond of muscle-car performance, and the fuel thirst that comes with it.
In August of 2007, Chrysler officially ended its merger with Germany's Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz. While the alliance was supposed to save the companies money through shared parts and technology, the Chrysler 300 emerges as one of the few survivors that actually benefited.
Two things are responsible for the 300's fine handling. One is that its suspension components were derived from the luxury Mercedes-Benz E-Class models. This other is rear-wheel drive. While front-wheel drive provides good traction in snow due to having the weight of the engine over the drive wheels, rear-wheel drive more evenly distributes the weight of the drivetrain and is valued for its balanced handling characteristics.
Chrysler seems to think its hit a winning combination here, so while drivetrains will evolve over the coming years in the quest for better fuel economy, don't expect the 300C's basic engineering to change much.
2009 Chrysler 300 Changes back to top
Love or hate it, the Chrysler 300 was something of a styling sensation, so 2009 models won't look much different. The 300 got mildly freshened styling for 2008, but Chrysler's attitude was to not mess with success, so the 2008 updates are most noticeable on the tail end and in the passenger compartment, where Chrysler fights to shake a well-earned reputation for cheap materials.
No change to the 2009 Chrysler 300 will significantly alter its performance or passenger accommodations from those of the 2008 model. Statements in this review about performance and accommodations are based on detailed test drives of the 2008 Chrysler 300.
Big news for 2009 will be the next-generation 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine. Exact specifications haven't been released, but the same 380-horsepower rating as found in the 2009 Dodge Ram pickup looks likely.
Like today's 5.7 Hemi, it will save fuel by shutting off half of its cylinders while cruising, and bring in some other new technologies, including variable valve timing, which tailors the amount of fuel taken in by the engine under different conditions, to increase fuel efficiency.
In 5.7 Hemi-powered 300Cs, a "fuel saver mode" indicator has been added to the information display on the instrument panel to let the driver know when the cylinder deactivation feature is on, to potentially help modify driving habits for optimum fuel mileage.
2009 Chrysler 300 Test Drive back to top
Driving the Chrysler 300: Aside from more power from the revised 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, the 2009 Chrysler 300's performance will be essentially unchanged from the 2008 model.
This big sedan feels solid and corners predictably with little body roll. While some criticize rear-wheel drive cars for less traction on wet or snowy roads, the excellent traction control and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) help negate these issues. ESP senses and corrects sideways sliding by applying brakes on individual wheels. The 300's ESP may kick in sooner than expected in spirited driving, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
All-wheel drive models have an even more-aggressive ESP setting, and are only an advantage over the rear-wheel drive in the snowiest climates. The exception is the 300C SRT8, which won't do well on snow because of its performance tires.
Riding in the Chrysler 300: As one might expect, the suspension settings get stiffer as the trim levels go up and engine size increases. The 300C model crosses the line from soft luxury to a firm though not-objectionable ride. Think European-inspired sports sedan rather than cushy cruiser. The SRT8 rides hard, as would be expected for high performance suspension tuning and low profile tires.
Headroom and legroom is generous front and rear. Seating is on the firm side, with adequate support.
Chrysler 300 dashboard and controls: Chrysler 300s received a subtly refreshed dashboard for 2008. While the basic layout is unchanged, most noticeable is extra accent trim added above the glovebox and to the revised center console for a more elegant look.
Controls are easy to see, and generally straightforward and easy to use. Below an analog clock at the top center, the radio and navigation system has a 6.5-inch touch screen in the middle. Some audio controls are also on the steering wheel. Recently added soft touch surfaces on the interior help make it feel more luxurious.
2009 Chrysler 300 Prices back to top
Chrysler 300 prices start with the pretty bare bones 2.7-liter V-6 powered LX at about $25,000. This includes power windows, mirrors, and driver's seat, as well as air conditioning, though notably no electronic aids like ABS, traction control or ESP come standard. However, it'll be hard to find an LX on a dealer lot without these features included at extra cost.
Step up to a 3.5-liter V-6 and the Chrysler 300 Touring also adds leather seats and aluminum wheels for around $29,000. For closer to $32,000, the Chrysler 300 Limited includes more appearance and convenience features.
The 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 powered Chrysler 300C starts at or under $36,000, building on the features of the lower trim levels, and adding many more. All-wheel drive adds approximately $2,000 to both 3.5 and Hemi versions. An extended wheelbase Executive Series is available for the Limited and 300C for an extra $12,000 or so. The 300C SRT8 starts around $42,000, and includes a unique interior, suspension, brakes, wheels and tires.
2009 Chrysler 300 Fuel Economy back to top
Don't expect more than one extra mile per gallon from the revised 5.7 Hemi. With a light foot, 24 mpg should be attainable on the highway at steady, reasonable speeds, where the cylinder deactivation system excels. Real-world mixed driving will probably come in at 13-15 mpg. Carried over V-6 mileage will be unchanged, averaging around 19 mpg.
2009 Chrysler 300 Safety and Reliability back to top
Chrysler 300s fare well in frontal crash tests, earning highest ratings from both Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS.) These tests were done without side air bags, and the front passenger side crash rating is four out of five stars from NTSA and "poor" from IIHS. Side seat-mounted and side curtain airbags are optional and recommended on all trim levels.
J.D. Power and Associates, the leading customer-satisfaction ratings firm, report that Chrysler 300 initial quality has been above average and gradually rising, though it did take a dip in 2007. Study directors speculate this may be a temporary condition as Chrysler sorts out issues brought on by the transition to new ownership.
While it's still too early for long-term reliability ratings on the current Chrysler 300, J.D. Power and Associates says reliability has increased on Chrysler vehicles, including the last generation 300M, by about 20% since 2003.
What's next for the 2009 Chrysler 300 back to top
Revisions to the Hemi V-8 promise more power and better fuel economy, but Chrysler 300s with a V-6 engine will have to wait at least another year – perhaps for the next generation of the car -- for the all-new Phoenix V-6 engines. These will use some of the same fuel-saving technologies as the 2009 Hemi.
If you like the looks of today's 300, the 2009 model will be one of the last chances to pick one up with this design. A full redo is expected for the 2011 model year.
2009 Chrysler 300 Competition back to top
As a large American car, most of the Chrysler 300's direct competitors are front-wheel-drive sedans. Foremost among these is the Buick Lucerne. But as a rear-wheel drive car with good driving dynamics, the 300 can also take on more-expensive luxury cars, as well as performance-oriented sedans, such as the Pontiac G8.
If size and comfort are the primary concerns, put Lucerne on your shopping list, but expect styling and the driving experience to be more conservative than with the Chrysler 300. Around $27,000 will get you into a base V-6 Lucerne. V-8 models start around $36,000. Lucerne launched in 2006 and is due to be redesigned around the 2011 model year.
More edgy is the rear-wheel-drive Pontiac G8. It's similar in size to the 300 and has closely matched V-6 and V-8 engines. New to the U.S. as a 2008 model, the G8 comes from General Motors' Australian subsidiary, Holden. It's unclear how long it will be sold here in its current configuration. Around $28,000 gets you a V-6, some $30,000 lands a V-8 powered G8 GT. Aggressive styling and an available six-speed manual transmission, something the 300 doesn't offer, helps the G8 appeal to driving enthusiasts.
If that sportier look appeals to you, consider the Chrysler 300's sibling, the 2009 Dodge Charger. Basically the same under the skin, Charger has a very different look and style, inspired by the '60s muscle car of the same name. But Charger matches the 300's level of performance for appreciably less money. Charger starts around $23,000, with the 3.5-liter V-6 SXT at $26,000, and the Hemi-powered Charger RT starting near $31,000.

"Long Black Veil" is a 1959 country ballad, written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell.
A saga song, "Long Black Veil" is told from the point of view of an executed man falsely accused of murder. He refuses to provide an alibi, since on the night of the murder he was having an affair with his best friend's wife, and would rather die and take their secret to his grave than admit the truth. The chorus describes the woman's mourning visits to his gravesite, wearing a long black veil and enduring a wailing wind.
The writers later stated that they drew on three sources for their inspiration: Red Foley's recording of "God Walks These Hills With Me", a contemporary newspaper report about the unsolved murder of a priest, and the legend of a mysterious veiled woman who regularly visited Rudolph Valentino's grave. Dill himself called it an "instant folksong."
Wilkin played piano on the original recording by Frizzell. The song was a departure from Frizzell's previous honky tonk style and was a deliberate move toward the current popularity of folk-styled material and the burgeoning Nashville sound.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals referred to the song in the case United States v. Dayton, 604 F.2d 931, 935 n.3 (5th Cir. 1979). This case concerned the proper procedures trial court judges must take when accepting a guilty plea, and identified "the two most dangerous" pitfalls of a guilty plea as coerced pleas and ignorant pleas. In describing a modification made to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which governs acceptance of pleas, the court explained that the change required that "the defendant be made aware of what might happen as a result of his plea, and that the court be satisfied that a factual basis existed for it." It dropped a footnote at this point which stated, "This change was doubtless effected to avoid such circumstances as are recounted in 'The Long Black Veil.'"
Recorded in Nashville in 1959 by Lefty Frizzell and produced by Don Law, the single reached No. 6 on Billboard Hot C&W Sides chart. In the process, the song became Frizzell's best-performing single in five years.
"Long Black Veil" has become a standard and has been covered by a variety of artists in country, folk and rock styles. The biggest cover version was a No. 26 country hit by Sammi Smith in 1974.
Johnny Cash performed the song on the first episode of The Johnny Cash Show (TV series) in 1969, duetting with Joni Mitchell. The song has also appeared on landmark albums by Johnny Cash and The Band in 1968 (see list below), and charted again in 1999 with the Dave Matthews Band, who performed the song live with Emmylou Harris at a Johnny Cash tribute concert. Early in her career, Joan Baez incorporated the song into her live repertoire, and recorded it twice (see list below).
The song appears on David Allan Coe's 1984 compilation 20 Greatest Hits and on Marianne Faithfull's Rich Kid Blues, recorded in 1971 but shelved until 1985.[1]
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds recorded a version for the 1986 covers album Kicking Against the Pricks.
The song was performed by Bruce Springsteen on his 2006 Seeger Sessions Band Tour.[2] The chorus is frequently sung by Bruce Hornsby during live performances of his song "White Wheeled Limousine", including the version on the retrospective box set Intersections (1985-2005).
Mick Jagger recorded a version with The Chieftains for that group's 1995 album of the same name. Mike Ness, principal songwriter and guitarist of punk-rock band Social Distortion, covered the song on his 1999 debut solo album Cheating at Solitaire. Jerry Garcia, David Grisman and Tony Rice cover this song on the 2000 Pizza Tapes recordings.
It has been covered by Harry Manx, including a version on the compilation Johnny's Blues: A Tribute to Johnny Cash, and in October 2009, by Rosanne Cash on her album The List. A version by Scottish rock band Nazareth was never released on an album, but is played at live concerts[3]
On the 2011 album Rancho Alto by Jason Boland & the Stragglers, the song "False Accuser's Lament" is a follow up to "Long Black Veil'", describing a witness's view of the events and the role that he played.
Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead performed the song several times, with a variety of musicians, in his rotating line-ups of Phil Lesh and Friends at his venue Terrapin Crossroads. Jamey Johnson has covered the song on tour.[4] Black Rebel Motorcycle Club occasionally perform the song during their live shows.[5] The Black Crowes have covered the song, for instance during their December 17, 2010 performance at The Fillmore in San Francisco.

Little bit of this
No comments 49 shares
A fair bit of time has passed since my last outfit post and its for the usual reasons, I can't be assed getting dressed up enough to be worthy of being photographed - or I've just been wearing clothing/outfits I've already featured. I'm pretty grateful I'm a fashion blogger who can produce content outside of my own attire because I'd get pretty sick of just posting outfits all the time. Now that my blog has grown in popularity I feel a certain pressure to make sure each outfit post has some consideration, that everything I'm wearing is fairly fashionable… though day to day - I'm probably more likely to spend time in gym clothes or just jeans and a shirt. I do understand that wearing everyday clothing on my blog is something most of you would be happy to see - but now that my blog is really my brand and business - I've really gotta try and keep it aspirational, even for myself! What if Anna Wintour is reading this?? Haha! I'm sure she isn't - yet I'm still surprised when I get contacted by some people who are. Staying fancy while still being myself is the aim here. Dress like the woman you want to be - it's sage advice for all of us!
That being said, I feel like this outfit is a little suggestive… am I hiding a pregnancy?! Well its a definitive NO - but I like the silhouette anyway. Fluffy and feminine. Add a little bit of wackiness and it's the summary of my personal style in one outfit!

That's the Shula Burger slogan. "Coming soon" is the only other message.
Don Shula is going gourmet/casual with his entry into the crowded burger rodeo. He says he expects to
open 100 Shula Burger franchises in the next half--decade.In addition to gourmet burgers, expect a build-your own burger menu as well as salads, chicken sandwiches and veggie burgers.
"We've been working on Shula Burger for two years," says Shula. "We think that this will be a highly successful concept."
Hey, isn't that exactly what they said at the launch of Wombat Burger? Even with the whole "Monday Marsupial Madness" concept, which seemed so right for this generation, the idea was ahead of the times. Sad, really.

Robert "Bob" Lobel is a former sportscaster for WBZ-TV in Boston, Massachusetts. He anchored the sports segments on the evening newscasts between Sunday and Thursday, and hosted the weekly programs Sports Final and Patriots 5th Quarter. During a round of layoffs in April 2008, Lobel's contract was bought out by the station.[1]
Contents |
A native of Apple Creek, Ohio, Lobel joined the station as weekend sports anchor in 1979 and was promoted to weekday anchor and sports director in 1981. Before joining the television side of WBZ, Lobel worked at WBZ radio for three years, most notably as the co-host (with Upton Bell) of Calling All Sports, a sports talk show that aired nightly on the station. He also worked at WJOY in Burlington, Vermont and WGIR in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Lobel has also done some play-by-play work, calling WBZ's annual broadcast of the Boston Marathon, Boston Celtics games from 1989–1993, Boston College Eagles football games in 1986, New England Patriots preseason games from 1985–1991, and two NFL games for NBC in 1985. He was a sideline reporter for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament between 1995 and 1997.
On the air, Lobel was known for using props and catchphrases during his sportscasts:
Lobel is also known for his local charity work for Children's Hospital and The Genesis Fund among many others.
During a 2003 edition of Sports Final, Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan said that the wife of New Jersey Nets guard Jason Kidd needed someone to "smack" her for taking his young children to NBA playoff games where they could be taunted. Kidd had recently faced charges of domestic violence. Lobel immediately interrupted Ryan and tried to get Ryan to retract his comment, but Ryan refused. The Globe suspended Ryan for three weeks. In an Internet chat that summer, Lobel said that his actions were not "an act of heroism on my part, just knowing what is acceptable and what is not acceptable".[3]
On April 2, 2008, it was announced that Lobel will be released from WBZ-TV after almost thirty years with the station.[2] On Dec. 1, 2010, Lobel started doing a two hour show on WTPL-FM 107.7 in Hillsboro, NH, weekdays from 1 pm until 3 pm.
On February 3, 2009 Bob Lobel returned briefly to the WBZ fold, on WBZ 1030 AM, replacing Gil Santos (longtime sportscaster who retired on January 30) as the on-air sports reporter. He continues to work with the radio station in other capacities, including golf reports on weekends.
In September 2008, Lobel was hired as a co-host on a morning talk show on WODS-FM, "Oldies 103.3". The show, co-hosted by Karen Blake, will feature cover a range of topics including sports.[4][5][6] Due to back surgery in October 2008, Lobel was replaced on WODS on November 11, 2008.[7]
Lobel appeared on The Boston Sports Show on Boston's ESPN Radio affiliate, WAMG-890, until it was cancelled in September 2009.

History of Casa Mexilio
Welcome to the house that still strikes a dominant chord in Yucatan's cultural, political, and artistic life… as it did in past centuries.
Built by Vicente Solis Leon for two of his sons and their wives, the Classical Venetian-inspired townhouse looks east toward the colonial spires and belfries of Merida's historic center four blocks away. He was also architect and builder of the Lighthouse of the nearby Port of Progresso, first lighted in 1897.
The Solis Family's principal manorial house and land holdings was the famous and legendary Xcanchakan Hacienda, located near the ruins of Mayapan about an hour south of the city, where, coincidentally, one of Casa Mexilio's present owners was born to poor Mayan workers bound to the land.
In 1900, one of Yucatan's intellectuals, the historian, journalist and politician, Serapio Baqueiro Preve, died here. His literary work detailed the horrors of that fifty-three year long struggle between The Maya and the Spanish, which we know as the Caste War of Yucatan.
Filled with the trappings and echos of other centuries, this is where, in 1936, President Lazaro Cardenas debated the conditions of Mexico's expropriation of the Henequen Haciendas with the unhappy hacienda owners.
CASA MEXILIO is a mix of memories and themes of the lives of those who have inhabited its rooms. It is elegant and at the same time homey and genial. She wears her age well and with some style and is a green, comfortable and tranquil oasis in the heart of a hurried city.
Shortly after its centennial year, the neglected and empty home was rescued, restored and recycled into an award-winning, one-of-a-kind hotel — historic, small, stylish — and affordable.
Jorge was born on the hacienda. He remembers it as a happy place because his grandfather was a very important man, living in a well built house with a roof of French tiles, located near the Big House.
One of his aunts lived in a dwelling perched on a high rock shelf with views of the plaza where the white processed sisal was put out to dry. I remember visiting her one day. Of course, in the early 80s things had changed a lot. But I remember that she gave Jorge a chair. These party chairs were hung from the high ceiling and painted with a mixture of lime and water to ward off insects. It was one of the few things that remained from the happy times of fiestas and corridas. Today it can be found in the hotel, and will tell its story, if you ask.
Fernando Solis Camera was the owner of both Xcanchacan Hacienda and the mansion at 495 68th Street (now Casa Mexilio) and Jorge occupies a room which once belonged to its lord and master. It's the same room where President Lazaro Cardenas met with Fernando Solis and his comite of hacendados to debate the terms of the Expropriation Decree of all of Yucatan's haciendas in 1936.
After the Decree and subsequent breakup of the haciendas by Presidente Gral. Lazaro Cardenas, the brothers, Fernando and Pedro, left Merida with their families and moved to Mexico City, making their residencies there.
Back at the hacienda: For Jorge's family, the relative wealth, excellent standing in the community, privileged address, large house and preferential job description of his grandfather, Feliciano Camara, was a mystery. He was president of the gremio which planned and put on the large fiestas. And he was always heading important meetings in the Main Hacienda Building. They say that he was tall and well educated, a lover and owner of many horses, well-respected — and he had the same last name as the former owner of the hacienda — Camera. Things happen, as they say.
His first wife died, leaving several young children, and when he remarried he chose Hortensia Yam Flores — Jorge's grandmother — who is still alive today at 109 years. Here she is on the left side of the photograph.
A marble stone containing the names of Don Fernando and his wife, Ema Gomez, marks their graves within the large free standing capilla near the front gate of the Hacienda Xcanchacan.

My step-son joined the army. The Army sent a site that they said we could use to track his progress but the link is dead (http://wood.army.mil/2-10IN/DCO/home.htm).
Does anyone know where I can go to find out information about his graduation/progress?
They sent a generic form letter with the following information:
3rd Platoon
Echo Company
2nd Battalion
10th Infantry Regiment
3rd Chemical Brigade
His graduation was delayed 5 days for fraternization. Is there any likelihood that it will be put back to his original graduation date? We had airline tickets purchased and this has thrown a wrench into the works. We'll probably have to pay to move the tickets. I don't want to have to change them again if it changes back.

A&M Books & Coffee Discussion Series with Lecture by Dr. Mattie Thomas
Dr. Mattie Thomas, Chair of the Department of English, Foreign Languages, and Telecommunications, will give a lecture entitled,"Tom Sawyer: Mark Twain's Good-Bad Boy." Daniel Peck claims that Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer in the context of the "good boy-bad boy" moralistic literature such as Thomas Bailey Aldrich's The Story of a Bad Boy. The "bad boy" tradition, according to Peck, follows several paradigms of youthful behavior. There is the "good boy" represented by Sid, Tom's half brother, and the "bad boy" represented by Tom. Tom, however, is a combination of the "bad boy" and the "good boy." In Tom Sawyer, Twain has a "bad boy," but not an outsider like Huckleberry Finn. He is both an outsider and an insider who is able to challenge his society while working within it.

Ministry of Education
You are here:
No. State and state-integrated schools will automatically receive a fully-funded connection from their school to the fibre being rolled out in their area, and there is no need to enrol.
Independent schools will need to fund their own fibre connection. However this is likely to be more cost-effective when undertaken as part of the wider roll out. The Ministry of Education will be progressively contacting independent schools to confirm their interest in receiving a fibre connection before fibre is rolled out in their area
The roll out of fibre to schools is expected to be completed by 2016. The Ministry of Education has no control over the negotiations, which schools are covered under each contract, or when each school will be connected.
The agencies overseeing the negotiations – Ministry of Economic Development (MED) and Crown Fibre Holdings (CFH) – have advised that once a provider is selected for each region, they will then identify the most logical order in which to deploy fibre to schools within their region.
Schools can check their provider and connection timeframe here: http://ufbis.elearning.tki.org.nz
If your school has not been contacted by the Ministry of Education, it is most likely that we have not been given a timeframe for your connection at this stage.
Your school will be connected sometime before the end of 2016. The roll out schedule is determined by what the provider has assessed is the most logical and cost-effective way to roll out fibre in your area. The Ministry of Education does not control the roll out schedule or the order in which schools are connected. We will contact you directly as soon as more information on the situation for your school is available.
The Government's ultra-fast broadband strategy has identified 33 "candidate areas" that contain populations greater than 9,500 people (the smallest of these being Greymouth). Schools in these areas are defined as urban and are likely to be connected to fibre via the UFB (Ultra Fast Broadband) initiative.
97.7 per cent of schools (99 per cent of students) will have ultra-fast broadband access by 2016 via the urban Ultra-fast Broadband (UFB) and Rural Broadband Initiatives (RBI). The remaining 2.3 per cent of schools in remote locations will have improved broadband services via terrestrial wireless and three schools will receive satellite services.
The boundaries between rural and urban are subject to negotiation between the government and the various parties responding to the tenders.
There will be some situations where schools in close proximity to each other will be covered by different phases of the broadband roll out.
The initiative your school is covered under is not necessarily an indication of the timeframe in which you will receive your fibre drop (when a school gets its own connection to the fibre in the street).
The deployment schedules are determined by what the providers decide is the most efficient and cost effective way to roll out fibre to the community. This is a very complex project where the final roll out schedule for each area is determined by what the provider decides is the most efficient and cost effective way to roll out fibre to the community.
The Ministry of Education does not control which schools fall inside or outside the coverage areas being negotiated, the fibre deployment route or the order in which schools receive their fibre connection. This is being managed by Ministry of Economic Development (MED)/Crown Fibre Holdings Ltd (CFH). The Ministry's role is to provide schools with the latest information as it becomes available, in order to inform their decision making. We are working closely with MED and CFH to ensure there is good communication between the three agencies.
Building the physical fibre network is only the first step towards ultra-fast broadband access. Providers have to agree to use the network, and then develop fibre-enabled products and services to run over it. In turn, those services need to be tested to make sure they work. When retailers are ready, they will promote their products and services to customers, including schools.
Many schools have already received a connection but do not yet have ultra-fast broadband services, as no retail service provider is available in their area.
To resolve this problem the Government has recently approved the development of the Network for Learning. The Network for Learning, available progressively from 2013, will provide schools with affordable, safe, ultra-fast internet access as well as a range of online content and centrally-procured services.
To ensure schools are able to take up the Network for Learning offer, the Ministry has been advising schools to negotiate short-term ultra-fast broadband contracts of no longer than one to two years.
The Ministry has developed guidelines to help schools choose a retail service provider, as well as listing retail service providers that have offers available for schools. This information is available on the Enabling eLearning website.
Ultra-fast broadband will provide connections speeds of up to 100Mbps. This will meet the majority of schools' needs over the next few years.
Although the basic fibre connections provided will be capable of 100Mbps, some schools may opt for a lower bandwidth service over their connection initially, to ensure they are only paying for what they need.
On the other hand, some schools may need 1GB connections, which can be requested at the time of signing up with a Retail Service Provider, for an additional fee that the school will have to pay.
In most cases, schools should certainly notice the difference. However the speeds schools experience will depend on several factors including whether their traffic is local or international and the service they've purchased. Speed and capacity may also be limited by the quality of schools' internal networks, if they haven't been through the SNUP process.
No. Schools can continue to use their existing service if/until they choose to use the fibre. The copper infrastructure won't be removed as part of this or any other planned activity.
Most internet service providers do impose data caps to enable a set rate to be offered.
Schools will need to check and if necessary negotiate appropriate caps with their chosen internet service provider before signing any agreements.
The fully-funded fibre drop should still proceed to ensure schools can benefit from the improved speeds offered by ultra-fast broadband access at a later date, and to be able to take advantage of the Network for Learning when it becomes available mid-2013.
However, if schools feel their existing broadband service is adequate for their needs over the next few years, they don't have to switch to using fibre immediately.

Bel Air Lighting is recalling some 20,000 Portfolio and Transglobe nine-light chandeliers because of an injury impact hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the mounting loop that holds the chandeliers to the ceiling can break causing the chandelier to fall and posing an impact injury hazard to consumers.
The chandeliers were sold at Lowe's and other department stores.
Consumers should contact Bel Air Lighting to receive a free replacement mounting ring.

Off down to the beach now Sean, seeing if any new kneeling hi-jump records are being set.
we just got through Australia Day public holiday yesterday and I noticed all kinds of records being set; the number flags you can fly from your ute (pickup) the number of sausages you can throw on a BBQ, the number of beers people can drink in a day, the number of drunking teenagers it takes to stop a car on the Esplanade, and probably kneeling hi-jump on the beach. Luckily I had my little Sun-Frau with me to keep me on the straight and narrow so no sore head today. Women, who would have thought they coukld be so useful!!! Have a good weekend chaps and chapette. |

I had an old Cushman that looked a lot like yours. It was called a Highlander and had a 5 Horse power BS engine, Run about 45 mph. One speed. Then I moved up to a Cushman Eagle, 8 HP and 2 speed. It would run about 55-60. Rode it to school nearly every day, about 3 miles. Windshield and comfort cover on the front. That was back in 1959-62. Eagle looked like a motorcycle with fuel tank up front. Paid $175 used and sold it for $250. Now they go for about $5000.00. Live and learn. A.B. Remember Dad talking about riding an old Harley Davidson 74 and HD 45. |

Been keeping busy. Still stink of epoxy.
http://www.bayrc.com/boards/viewtopi...=9040&start=90 The tails will come out tomorrow. Cross your fingers! I've been using it nearly since the beginning several months ago. It's been a VERY amusing ride, waking up each morning to see what changes they did over night. I was given a pair of OLD DLG fuses, one missing a v-stab, and one rudderless that I want to cut a rudder into. I am thinking long and hard about stretching a Bug wing to fit one of them. |

I finally got another piece of ceiling tile for a pinning surface. Trying to figure out what I want to put on the short build list next. BoT, Bug or Mimi. Or sumpin' with a spinny t'ing. A Stik knock off or an Ellipstik. Nightowl |

I maiden my motorized Sig Riser 100. A couple of days ago. Calm cold winter day, with lot of soft snow.
It was much faster than i thought! I use to believe that those older wood glider where slow. It went fine, only one hard landing. But I thought it had to little rudder authority. Is it an idea to expand the rudder surface a little, for better control when turning? |
Jan 27, 2012, 06:26 AM | |
I don't know what you were expecting in the way of "rudder authority," but I will say that is not a complaint I commonly hear about the Risers. I would check the throws on the rudder first, Arne. I have not built the Riser 100, but I have the plan, and I have built the Riser 2M, and it looked to have PLENTY of rudder area. I would just try to move linkages in servo arms and control horns to see if I could increase the deflection a bit more, before rebuilding a tail with more area.

What's all this about age....old schmold...you're as old as you feel. Some days I'm 18 and some days I'm 80. I would venture, on average, we all feel like we're in our prime.....rock on gents. |

Afghan Taliban assault in Kabul secure zone
Afghan security forces have put down a militant gun and bomb attack near the presidential palace, in one of the most secure areas of Kabul.
Officials say four insurgents and three security guards died. The Taliban say they carried out the attack.
President Hamid Karzai was in the palace, but the target appears to have been the nearby Ariana hotel, which houses a CIA station.
This is the latest in a string of attacks on Kabul in recent months.
Most recently a suicide bomber in the capital targeted a prominent Afghan politician on 18 June, just hours before Nato formally handed security responsibility to the Afghan forces.
At the scene
It was a close brush with death for a group of nearly 20 Afghan colleagues including myself.
We were at the palace gates to attend a press event with President Karzai - and security restrictions dictated we arrived hours prior to the event. As we waited to get inside, there was suddenly gunfire followed by loud explosions 10-15 metres away. We had found ourselves in the middle of the fighting.
As presidential guards exchanged fire with insurgents, personnel from the Ariana hotel, the home of the CIA for the last 12 years, also returned fire in self defence as their building came under direct fire. The fighting intensified in a matter of minutes. We took what little cover there was near a wall for the next 40 minutes.
An eight-year-old boy, crying and stuck in the fighting on his way to his school, also sheltered with us.
This attack caused no civilian or military casualties but this is a huge propaganda victory for the insurgents as they have managed to infiltrate one of the safest places in the country.
With this attack the Taliban infiltrated one of the most heavily-guarded areas of the capital, with several key buildings such as the defence ministry and Nato headquarters located very close by.
The Afghan Taliban have showed no sign of abating their assault on security targets, despite last week's announcement that they had set up an office in the Gulf state of Qatar for peace talks.
In another attack on Tuesday, at least 10 civilians, including eight woman were killed when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle in Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province.
President Karzai raised strong objections to the Taliban office, saying the flag and nameplate initially erected at the building showed they were trying to portray themselves as a government-in-exile.
Officials say the High Peace Council, the Afghan government body set up to lead peace efforts, would not take part unless the talks process was "Afghan-led".
News conferenceThe attack near the presidential palace, in the central district of Shash Darak, began at about 06:30 local time (02:00 GMT).
The militants initially targeted the palace's eastern gate - a few hundred metres from the actual building - where dozens of journalists had gathered for a news conference with Mr Karzai scheduled for 09:00.
The BBC's Bilal Sarwary, who was among the crowd of journalists, says they were forced to run for cover as bullets flew overhead.
The journalists heard several explosions, and reports said grenades were being thrown. Tolo TV reported as many as 14 blasts.
Recent Kabul attacks
- 9 March: A suicide bomb attack on the Afghan defence ministry kills nine
- 16 May: At least 15 are killed and dozens wounded in a suicide bomb attack on a military convoy in the capital
- 24 May: A Nepali soldier is killed as well as an off-duty policeman as militants battle security forces in the city centre
- 10 June: Seven insurgents, including suicide bombers, lay siege to the main airport for four hours before they are killed
- 11 June: Suicide bomb attack kills at least 16 people and injures more than 40 outside the Supreme Court.
- 18 June: Three killed as bomb targets prominent politician Haji Mohammad Mohaqiq
Our correspondent says the area around the palace, which is patrolled regularly throughout the day by special forces and intelligence agents, is now under lockdown.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a text message: "A number of martyrs attacked the presidential palace, defence ministry and the Ariana Hotel."
The Ariana Hotel is known to house a CIA station.
Kabul's police chief, Ayub Salangi, said the attack was brought to an end just under two hours after the first shots were fired.
Four attackers wearing uniform and carrying fake ID cards began the attack, with one blowing himself up, a defence ministry spokesman told the BBC. They were eventually killed by private security forces attached to the hotel.
The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force, whose headquarters is also not far from the scene of the attack, wrote on Twitter that the Afghan National Security Forces had led "the response efforts".
Last week, Afghan forces assumed security responsibility for the whole of the country for the first time since the Taliban government was ousted in 2001.
International troops will remain in Afghanistan until the end of 2014, providing military back-up when needed.
