BUFFALO, NY - Food trucks have become a huge draw in Western New York, since splashing onto the scene a couple years ago. But high permitting fees in Buffalo have been driving some trucks out of the business.
Now, food truck operators are fighting back.
Renee Allen of R&R BBQ says the current fee structure makes it tough to keep her truck running.
"What we're looking for is just something reasonable so that we can operate our business and have a little bit lower fees so we can actually bring the food to the public like we want to do," she said.
Next Tuesday, Western New York Food Truck Association, the region's food truck representative, will go to City Hall and meet with members of Common Council to fight for lower fees.
WNYFTA, which includes nine food trucks, has started lobbying council members ahead of an April 1 deadline, when a city code that was approved in 2011 expires and the current fee structure needs to be updated. Many vendors desperately want the permit renewal fee lowered.
Right now, it costs $1,000 for a food truck owner to get city approval to operate in Buffalo. It costs another $1,000 to renew the license each year. And according to vendors, the price is too high and needs to be lowered.
On the other side of the debate, are many brick and mortar restaurants that say the food truck fees are too low. The trucks and restaurants compete for business.
"The fees are excessively high compared to other cities across the nation our fee of $1,000 a year is the highest, we'd like to get that reduced substantially," said Mitchell Stenger, an attorney for WNYFTA.
Food truck vendors say their costs grow even higher, when special events and Buffalo Place fees are added on top.
North District council member Joseph Golombek says the permit fees cover city costs.
"You do have to have the City of Buffalo inspect them, you have to have an inspector there, you have to have a fire inspector go there, I think there's also a police officer has to inspect it, so we do need to be reimbursed for the cost," said Golombek.
He adds that brick and mortar restaurants that compete with the food trucks say the permit fees should be higher. Golombek thinks a compromise may be found that would lower the renewal permit fees. It's unclear what that number will be. Actual permit fees would stay the same.
Across the country, many other cities have more reasonable permit fees, like, $100 in Washington, D.C., $340 in Philadelphia and about $200 in New York City.
Chris Taylor, a co-owner of The Roaming Buffalo thinks there are some benefits to the current permit fee, "it does keeps the rift raft out, you don't want a guy selling hot dogs in the back of his minivan, so if you're serious about doing a food truck, $1,000 you're going to pay the City of Buffalo and then when you want to renew the fee drop it down to $325."
It all comes down to a deal that's affordable enough for the food trucks and not too low for many brick and mortar restaurants.
The new permit fee code could be approved immediately, if enough council members approve it and if Mayor Byron Brown signs it.
If there are problems with the new fee breakdown, then an extension of the current statute may be voted on to give more time for debate.

ABC is renewing General Hospital for one year, and canceling talk show The Revolution. The network needed to cancel a daytime show to make room for Katie Couric's syndicated talk show Katie, which will debut on most ABC affiliates this September.
Deadline reports that "ABC was persuaded to keep General Hospital after The Revolution ratings hit record lows in March. The network is allegedly concerned both that canceling 'General Hospital" will alienate the show's fans, who threatened to boycott Katie, and that The Revolution would not be a strong lead-in for "Katie." The week of March 26, GH was watched by 2.26 million viewers, compared to 1.33 million for The Revolution." The Revolution" also performs poorly among the key Women 18-49 demographic, averaging about half of what "One Life To Live" got in the time period.
The Revolution will end its run on July 7. For the rest of the summer, it will be replaced by an afternoon version of Good Morning America tentatively titled GMA in the Afternoon until "Katie's" debut.

WADDINGTON The Bassmaster Elite will return to the north country in 2015.
Organizers are in the process of choosing a date for the tournament that will bring the worlds top 100 anglers back to the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Mayor Janet M. Otto-Cassada said Tuesday.
Im very happy for the north country and St. Lawrence County, and couldnt be happier for Waddington, Mrs. Otto-Cassada said. We started out many years ago trying to make our area known for its fishing, and now here we are showing worldwide that we really are one of the fishing capitals in the world.
More than 35,000 spectators traveled to Waddington and the surrounding areas for the 2013 Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown, which generated more than $1 million in tourism dollars for the north country.
Evan Williams Showdown Event coordinator Robert J. Giordano said that next years bass tournament will be just as big as 2013s.
I am of that old school of thought, if it works for you, duplicate it, Mr. Giordano said. Well just improve on it. Well use the same formula for advertising and combine it with a fun, family festival with top entertainers.
The village is already set to host the 2014 Bassmaster Northeastern Divisional Sept. 24 to 26 in Whittaker Park.
I think that the sponsors and bass and the anglers have made it clear that they love the area and they want to keep coming back, Mr. Giordano said.
During last years tournament weigh-ins, anglers remarked repeatedly about the north countrys hospitality, Mrs. Otto-Cassada said.
BASSs reasoning for bringing it back is that we drew the biggest crowd; we have great fishing and they anglers love it, Mrs. Otto-Cassada said. The anglers have said that the north country are the best people. We make everyone feel at home and went above and beyond to make these folks feel at home and that is why they want to come back.
FishCap Executive Director Donald R. Meissner, who worked with Bass Anglers Sportsmans Society to bring the national championship tournament to the north country, said that the return of the Elite Series will raise the profile of north country fishing spots.
This is only the beginning, he said. The event was so successful that people came from all over the area came to make it happen from businesses in Ogdensburg, Canton and Massena, to support from our local legislators and organizations. That is what is necessary to make these events as successful as they are. I am hoping that everyone will come together again to make 2015s tournament even bigger than we did last years.
The contract between the village and Bass Anglers Sportsmans Society will be signed once it is approved by the village, Mrs. Otto-Cassada said.

POTSDAM - Rapper and slam poet George V. Watsky doesnt look much older than most of the students he performed for at SUNY Potsdams Dunn Theater on Friday, but the last few years have launched the California performers career to new heights.
The fast-talking 26-year-olds performances have attracted hundreds of thousands of fans, with his distinctive style and savvy use of the internet propelling his popularity.
He grew up in San Francisco, the son of a psychotherapist and a librarian. He discovered spoken word performance when he was a freshman in high school, and began entering slam poetry competitions.
Eventually he started to get noticed nationally, and in 2007 he appeared on HBOs Def Poetry Jam, an HBO show that highlighted new and upcoming spoken-word performers. This exposure allowed Mr. Watsky to turn his performances into a full-time career.
Ever since, hes been touring college campuses, like SUNY Potsdam, to perform his poetry.
Thats been my bread and butter, he said.
In 2009 he released his first rap album, simply titled Watsky. It was well-received by his fairly small group of fans, but it would not find widespread popularity until later.
There wasnt really an audience for that album. It went over fine, he remembered.
The turning point came in 2011 when Watsky released a Youtube video called Pale Kid Raps Fast. Its nothing fancy; Mr. Watsky sits alone in a room that could be in any suburban homes, casually stroking a cat as he raps at lightning speed into a microphone.
The clip went viral. It now has over 23.5 million views, and helped usher in a new level of popularity for Mr. Watsky.
He remains loyal to his over 380,000 subscribers on Youtube, putting out a new song or poem every two weeks.
Its been really hard churning material out, its really widened my audience, he said. Its very gratifying to have people actually hearing my work.
Although hes known for his nimble vocals, Mr. Watskys style is about more than a quick turn of phrase.
His early work had an aggressive political bent, but he said the last few years have shown him to see the world from different viewpoints, and his pieces have become more personal and less opinionated since.
You get older and you see the world in more subtle ways, he said.
Thats not to say his work lacks a message. He said he tries to find a balance between playfulness and sincerity. His poem Go Robo provides an example, as he turns a silly story about a little girl who wants to be a robot into an examination of what it means to pursue a dream at the expense of all else.
Even my funny pieces always have a core message to them that is sincere, he said.
The more light-hearted pieces, he said, are a good way to draw in fans who might not otherwise listen to him.
I try to give people a way in that isnt so challenging.
Despite the widespread exposure brought by the fast-rap video, Mr. Watsky said his steadily-growing fan base doesnt feel like a sudden stroke of luck. Its the culmination of the years of work he put in to gradually building an audience.
He is now preparing to release his first full-length album since 2009, entitled Cardboard Castles.
The SUNY Potsdam poetry performance may be among the last of its kind. Although he has lived off of college shows for the last several years, Mr. Watsky said he now wants to transition to larger concert venues, where he can present both his songs and his poems to a larger audience.
Both the rap and the poetry are an integral part of his work, he said, and he wont sacrifice one for the other.
They are both extensions of who I am. I try to tell stories no matter what form they are in.

Q&A: with John Maine about Leaderhsip & Chemistry
In mid-January, I was able to talk with John Maine for an extensive discussion about all sorts of topics, ranging from on-field to off-field to media.
Here is a portion of the discussion about leadership and team chemistry.
Matthew Cerrone: Do you feel like a veteran?
John Maine: No, I'm way too immature to be a veteran. Me and Pelfry are just kind of like the kids. We are serious when we play, but we have four days in between to try and lighten the mood of every one, that's kind of what we do. I'm way too immature to be considered a veteran. I don't want to be a veteran.
Matthew Cerrone: So, you're saying being a veteran isn't necessarily about service time?
John Maine: It's about attitude.
Matthew Cerrone: Do you consider Jose Reyes a veteran?
John Maine: Yes, I think he's a veteran. I guess maybe service time does play into it, maybe a little bit. But, when I think of veteran I think of a leader, like Carlos Delgado.
Matthew Cerrone: How do you think things will be different if Delgado is not back?
John Maine: Someone else is going to have to fill the void. I just think that Delgado, what he's done, who he is, and his demeanor, he was perfect for that. People look to that. If you don't have him, then there are other guys that can fill in.
Matthew Cerrone: I'm always being told a leader has to be an everyday player, not a pitcher.
John Maine: I don't think it could be a pitcher either. We are not out there everyday…
Matthew Cerrone: Was Pedro Martinez a leader?
John Maine: He was a leader. He has an odd way of doing it, but he was a leader. I just think it's best if it's a guy that's out there for 160 games…
Matthew Cerrone: There is a lot of talk from people out here (in the stands, media, etc.) about team chemistry. It's always framed as people getting along. But, when I talk to professional athletes, who are playing right now, they always say it is more about a common goal, and trust, less about friendship. Is that about right? Is it more about having that common goal and believing in it?
John Maine: It is… everyone has to be on the same page. What are we supposed to do? Are we all supposed to go out to a bar after every game together? That's not going to happen. Everyone has their own life. There are different cultures and different ages. Not everyone is going to mix it up after a game at dinner. But we all have to want the same things when were on the field.
Matthew Cerrone: Does that matter, though, team dinners, things like that?
John Maine: It matters if you can get everybody out there talking about baseball and things like that. But, as long as everyone is on the same page… I need to show up and they need know I am there to try to win… If Pedro Feliciano was here, he's going to bail me out in the seventh inning if need be, I need to trust him, that's what it's about. If Pelfrey's pitching, and I am not doing anything, you know, I'm there to give him a pat on the back and say good job and things like that. Everyone has to be there is trying to win that day. That's what it is all about…
Matthew Cerrone: What else do you think fans don't understand about what you guys do?
John Maine: I think, especially here in New York, you see a lot of negative things in the papers and you see a lot of negative things from the fans. I personally don't mind it, I know they want to win… But, they've got to realize that we want to win too. We are not going out there to try and lose. We are not going out there to try to give up a home run. We are not trying to boot balls. We're not trying to lose 100 games. We are out there to try and win too. Even if somebody has a bad week or a bad month, it's not a reflection on their personality. They are good guys and we are out there busting our butts. Sometimes it's just doesn't happen… We are out there trying to win for us and the fans.
Matthew Cerrone: I notice some fans who feel certain players don't try hard enough…
John Maine: Try harder? Why don't I try to maybe throw harder? That makes no sense. We do care.
Matthew Cerrone: It doesn't work that way?
John Maine: It doesn't. It's about staying loose. It's staying within yourself. You do have to want it. But, more important, you have to not want to lose. My big thing is, I think you've got to hate losing more than you like winning. I think that's a big thing too, and they you've go to go out there and do it.

(Jan 25, 2013) On January 23, 2013, Somyot Pruksakasemsuk, a magazine editor and political activist, was sentenced to an 11-year term of imprisonment by a Thai court. He was convicted under section 112 of the country's Criminal Code, which outlaws defaming, insulting, or threatening the King, Queen, heir-apparent, or regent; the provision is known as the lèse majesté law. The Code establishes a punishment of from three to fifteen years in prison for those convicted of the offense. Somyot had been arrested less than a week after starting a petition calling for a review of this section of the Code. (Cynthia Miley, Thailand Court Sentences Magazine Editor to 11 Years for Royal Insult, PAPER CHASE NEWSBURST (Jan. 23, 2013);Criminal Code BE 2499, 1956 (unofficial translation as amended up to 2003) (last visited Jan. 23, 2013).)
The 11-year sentence is based on five-year terms handed down for the content of each of two articles Somyot had published under pseudonyms that were considered to have mentioned the monarchy in a negative way, together with an additional year from a different defamation case. The two articles appeared in 2010 in the magazine he edits, then known as Voice of Taksin. (Miley, supra; Press Release, Human Rights Watch, Thailand: Editor Convicted for Insulting Monarchy (Jan. 23, 2013).)
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navanethem Pillay, expressed concern about the court decision on the day it was issued, stating that the conviction and sentencing of Somyot "sends the wrong signals on freedom of expression in Thailand. The court's decision is the latest indication of a disturbing trend in which lese-majesty charges are used for political purposes." (Press Release,Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Conviction of Thai Editor Undermines Freedom of Expression: Pillay (Jan. 23, 2013).)
Somyot and his magazine are associated with the "Red Shirt" movement, which protested extensively against the government in 2010. (Miley, supra; for background on the political conflicts in Thailand, see Profile: Thailand's Reds and Yellows, BBC NEWS (July 13, 2012).)
Human rights advocates have also denounced the use of the lèse majesté law in Somyot's case. Amnesty International called it a "serious setback for freedom of expression," and Isabelle Arradon of the organization said "[t]his is a regressive decision – Somyot has been found guilty simply for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression and should be released immediately." (Press Release, Amnesty International, Thailand: Release Human Rights Defender Imprisoned for Insulting the Monarchy (Jan. 23, 2013).) Brad Adams of Human Rights Watch suggested that "[t]he court's ruling appears to be more about Somyot's strong support for amending the lese majeste law than about any harm incurred by the monarchy." (Thailand: Editor Convicted for Insulting Monarchy, supra; for a previous, similar case see Wendy Zeldin, Thailand: Political Activist Sentenced to 18-Year Prison Term for Violating Lèse Majesté Law, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Sept. 10, 2009) .)

Just got this today.
The design is the grandchild of the one by Scott Hill, http://smhill.deviantart.com/art/Flying-Spaghetti-Monster-49662068. I tweaked it a bit in The GIMP to get it more angry looking and gave that to my tattoo artist, who came up with this.
I think it came out pretty good, though there is one phantom unattached noodle that I noticed.
I think of him as kind of an angel on my shoulder, watching over me. I think he's saying something like "Stay back, you frakkin' whackos!"

MORRISTOWN - The Morristown Central School Board of Education voted against pursuing a tuitioning agreement with Heuvelton Central School at Wednesdays meeting.
The board is instead reaching out to Hammond Central School to see if they would be interested in potentially merging the districts.
Board members Mark Tayler, Shawn R. Macaulay and Lawrence Kring III voted against a $9,900 fact-finding study designed to look into how a tuitioning agreement with Heuvelton would work.
The schools were contemplating having students in grades seven through 12 sent from Morristown to Heuvelton to attend classes.
Board member James Michaels, Vice President W. Darrell Merkel and President Cyril Aldrich Jr. were in favor of the measure and board member Mary Anne Bailey was absent for the vote.
Because the vote was a three- to-three tie, the tuitioning study was defeated by default.
Mr. Kring said that studying a tuitioning agreement with Heuvelton felt like a waste of money.
It makes sense to me to get public input first, he said.
Mr. Kring also said sending students to Heuvelton doesnt make the most geographical sense.
The two schools are more than 17 miles apart.
I feel like were jumping at the only option thats been dangled in front of us, Mr. Kring said. I feel like there are a lot of different directions we could go in.
Mr. Michaels said the district is running out of options.
Were at the point where I do believe we are academically insolvent, he said, adding that their only realistic option for continuing to provide a reasonable education to their students is to somehow get them to attend classes at Ogdensburg, Heuvelton or Hammond.
Ogdensburg City School Board of Education President Ronald N. Johnson said the district is open to talking with Morristown about accepting high school students in a tuitioning agreement but Morristown has not yet pursued that option.
Mr. Macaulay said, Id like to start talking to Hammond about merging.
Hammond Central School is just over 10 miles away from Morristown.
Mr. Merkel noted that Hammond currently has an interim superintendent and is searching for a full-time replacement.
A merger between the schools could solve Hammonds search for a superintendent as there would only need to be one superintendent for the newly formed district, Mr. Merkel said.
Morristown Superintendent David J. Glover said he is going to send a letter of inquiry to Hammond about opening up a dialog for a merger.

In just four days, voters in the Bath area will hold a special election to decide who will represent Senate District 19 in the Maine Legislature. Although Maine Gov. Paul LePage had intended to stay out of the race, his recent alleged remarks that President Barack Obama doesn't like white people have wound up as an issue in the contest. MPBN State House Bureau Chief A.J. Higgins joins Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter for an update.

Over the past 20 years, Maury Povich has been the king of daytime television. And over the years, we've seen many different themes explored on Maury. No subject is too taboo: out of control teenagers, deformed people, shocking sex secrets, abusive partners, and people with fear of carpet samples, just to name a few. And if you've tuned in at all over the past fifteen years, it's highly likely you saw Maury administer a paternity test to a man who denies fathering any children. In most cases, this results in a celebratory shuffle that would make Kelley Washington's jaw drop.
With 3,000+ episodes in the can, it's difficult to say which moment was the show's craziest/worst, but these 31 screencaps are a good start. God help us all.

Here are some of the highlights:
- Long Runs with the Stroller: I found a win-win-win scenario by taking my daughter in the jogging stroller. My wife gets free time, I get my long run, and Emma gets a nice nap and the occasional dog bounding off a front porch to greet us.
- Windshield for the Stroller: A few weeks ago, my long run plans were seriously threatened because I it was raining off and on all day. The upside was that it was warm--65 degrees. I took my chances when there was a break in the rain, put my daughter in the stroller and covered her with a raincoat. Everything was fine for about 15 minutes, then dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, the temperature dropped at least 10 degrees, and it began to pour down rain and, for a while, SLEET. I was soaked, my daughter was halfway there, and I still had to get home. I had been putting off the wind/rainshield for a Christmas gift, but nixed that idea and ordered it right away. I've already put it to good use with a run in 32 degrees with high winds and today with mid-30s and rain. The winshield plus a "Baby Bag" by LL Bean ($2.50 from a thrift store) and my daughter is tugging off her hat because she gets too warm!
- Turkey Trot: I ran a neighborhood Turkey Trot at my parents house with the stroller and was proud to finish at 7:00 pace. I had no idea I was in that good of shape.
- Run/Walk: After years of being intrigued by Galloways run/walk approach, but being too proud to not gut out every run, I finally gave it a try. I'll elaborate in a later post, but so far I've managed to get faster, recover sooner, and not terribly sore after my long runs.

Millstone Memorial, the nation's first memorial in remembrance of clergy sex abuse survivors which was destroyed by a vandal for the second time in less than two years. PAVE Founder Angela Rose spoke at the rededication ceremony.

Travesty of Justice for Clergy Sexual Abuse Victims
Last Sunday in Mendham, NJ, I was a guest speaker at the rededication of the nation's first memorial in remembrance of clergy sex abuse survivors, which was destroyed by a vandal for the second time in less than two years. The rededication ceremony was held in front of the damaged memorial outside of St Joseph's Church, where former pastor James T. Hanley (who since has been defrocked) sexually abused more than sixty boys in the rectory.
How many news reports have you seen and heard of sexual abuse by priests? Countless. It has become practically normalized because it is so frequent. It needs to stop—and we as a nation need to come together with a unified voice to take stand.
We need to raise our voices in protest for the cover-ups, the victim blame, and the failure to protect our nation's youth.
Now is the time. Sandusky, Catholic sexual abuse scandals, Steubenville: it is time for this nation to stand in solidarity to support sexual assault survivors and say, "No More."
The time is NOW to stand together and be the voice for everyone who has been silenced by sexual violence.

I'd start with setting up your Linux server as a file server for your home PCs. It is a relatively quick and easy thing to do.
Wireless Linux can be tricky, especially with Fedora and ndiswrappers. So if you can, try to keep your Linux server wired, possibly into your home router. This site has a HOWTO for ndiswrapper, but you can also try this link http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=29659
The next thing I'd try would be the print server. To be safe, use the latest Linux distribution version as it will have the latest printer support. Of course, if you have a network printer, this won't be necessary. You can also buy a "wireless print server" that will connect your USB printer directly to the wireless network so it can be shared by everyone.
Once you feel comfortable with Linux, then I'd try replacing your home router with the Linux server using the iptables firewall, and possibly also the squid web proxy to limit web access by time, URL etc.

Submission Curiosity's Latest High-Res Photo Looks Like Earth->
bbianca127 writes: Curiosity sent a picture down to us, and it looks a lot like Earth. Actually, the picture's color quality has been changed — to human eyes, the landscape would look a lot more reddish. Still, it looks remarkably like the southwestern United States (bringing to mind the AD quote about how Lucille Bluth would rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona).

That has now spread, with some modification, from EA's three major pro simulations—FIFA, Madden and NHL, to somewhat similar concepts in MLB 12 The Show and now, NBA 2K13. The basic goal is the same: Acquire the best players available in a virtual market, using currency that can be earned through completing and winning games. It's noteworthy that NBA 2K13 will have retired all-time greats available—Karl Malone is shown in this video.
While the structure is, broadly, very familiar, everyone throws their tweaks into it, and MyTeam's big differentiator is that a player's acquisition value will vary day-to-day depending on how he's performing in real life. This gives team managers a buy-low/sell-high incentive to building their squads, provided they're following the league closely. It also makes it hilarious when someone ends up a total bust. No word on whether currency will be sold for real money, though.
For more on the mode, see this five-minute video, with producer Erick Boenisch.

Milton Nascimento and the Jobim Trio: The Birthday Concert

WBGO was part of an extraordinary evening last night at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. After Saturday's Latin Jazz tour with Paquito D'Rivera at the Victoria Theater, we wrapped up our weekend coverage of NJPAC's Alternate Routes festival tonight at Prudential Hall. The muse of Minas Gerais, Brazil's Milton Nascimento, celebrated his 66th birthday onstage with the Jobim Trio, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim's son and grandson, guitarist Paulo Jobim and pianist Daniel Jobim. Rodrigo Villa supported on bass, as did the steady rhythm of drummer Paolo Braga. They played new arrangements of bossa nova classics (largely from the Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius De Moraes songbook), a Dorival Caymmi standard, and a few anthems from Nascimento's time in the clube da esquina movement in Brazil's popular music. All in all, it was a beautiful view into the modern identity of Brazilian song, with a willing audience of Portuguese speakers from Newark's Ironbound neighborhood. Here's the rundown of the show, and what you'll hear when you listen online:
1. Garota de Ipanema - AC Jobim (not available online)
2. Aguas de Marco - AC Jobim
3. So Tinha De Ser Com Voce - Elis Regina
4. O Vento - Dorival Caymmi
5. Brigas Nunca Mais - AC Jobim/Vinicius De Moraes
6. Inutil Paisagem - AC Jobim/Aloysio de Oliveira
7. Chega de Saudades - AC Jobim/De Moraes
8. Medo de Amar - Vinicius De Moraes
9. Velho Riacho (Pra Nao Sofrer) - AC Jobim
10. Esperanca Perdida - AC Jobim/Billy Blanco
11. Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar - AC Jobim/De Moraes
12. Dias Azuis - Daniel Jobim
13. Para Lennon e McCartney - Lo Borges-F.Brant/Nascimento
14. Cravo e Canela - Nascimento
15. Samba Do Aviao - AC Jobim
16. Maria, Maria [encore] - Nascimento
Paquito D'Rivera: Live at NJPAC 10.25.08

Listen to the first set.
Listen to the second set.
Paquito D'Rivera inaugurated a weekend of "Alternate Routes" at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, and WBGO was there to broadcast the event. Part of the three day Encuentros! Latin Jazz festival, D'Rivera's two sets at the Victoria Theater were a pan-Latin, pan-Caribbean, and steelpan affair. Andy Narell joined core members of D'Rivera's group for "Paquito's Latin Side of Jazz," along with bandoneon player Hector del Curto. Taken together, the concert featured carnival-inspired jazz from Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina's tango and nuevo tango traditions, blues for both a fictitious journalist from Kazakhstan and a very real 26-inch "living doll" named Chiquita, a Venezuelan waltz, and jazz from a Puerto Rican. Here's the breakdown:
Set One
1. Kalinda - composed by Andy Narell
2. Bandoneon interlude featuring Hector del Curto
3. Oblivion - composed by Astor Piazzolla
4. Borat in Syracuse - composed by Paquito D'Rivera
5. Manha de Carnaval - composed by Luiz Bonfa
6. La Yumba/Caravan - composed by Osvaldo Pugliese/Juan Tizol
Set Two:
1. Valse Venezolano - composed by Paquito D'Rivera
2. Preludio #3 - composed by Roberto Pansera
3. Chiquita Blues - composed by Paquito D'Rivera
4. Libertango - composed by Astor Piazzolla
5. To Brenda With Love - composed by Paquito D'Rivera
Enjoy the concert, and check out more photos after the jump.

I agree with Mage overall, as Arcane kills PvE and Frost just laughs at PvP.
However from a pure PvE standpoint, you have to mention Hunters, they are just rediculous right now even under the hands of a pure bad.
Also PvP, someone has to mention Shamans. LOL Hex / Purge / Ranged Interupt.

Hi all
My wench and I have recently had an addition to our family and I was wondering what a pastafarian naming ceremony involves. I assume there is full pirate regalia and the after party involves lots of beer and pasta, but what about the actual ceremony?
I tried searching this forum but "naming ceremony" "baptism" and "christening" all come back as not being specific enough. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ugliest Sci-Fi Spaceships
Over the decades, there have been countless fictional spaceships committed to celluloid and video. A few memorable ones — the X-wing, the many Enterprises, the Nostromo, etc. — captured our imaginations and inspired generations of sci-fi set designers. Of course, for every badass starfighter, there were dozens of ugly duds. Here are my top few.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
If necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows, Utah police agencies and their mental health counterparts may have found a match made in heaven. For the first time in the state of Utah, law enforcement officers and mental health officials are working as a team to serve and protect the public while providing assistance for those with complex, dangerous and often times perplexing issues.
This past week, officers from police departments all over Carbon County participated in Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training and certification at Price's City Hall. The training, put on by Salt Lake PD officials and mental health professionals, brings police together with local mental health resources and provides them with the knowledge to de-escalate many mental illness related issues with tactics other than force.
"This training has provided our officers with a new empathetic approach to situations which could include a factor related to mental health," explained Price City Police Sgt. and region CIT facilitator Bill Barnes. "The CIT training provides several techniques for safer intervention concerning the person experiencing a mental health crisis, their family and the community as a whole."
According to Barnes, this program is a statewide initiative that builds strong working partnerships between law enforcement agencies and the mental health resources they utilize. These partnerships bring law enforcement and mental health services together instead of working independently on mental health issues.
Locally, this partnership boils down to city and county departments working closely with Four Corners Community Behavioral Health.
"Four Corners Executive Director Jan Bodily and Price's Police Chief Alec Shilaos have been incredibly supportive of this training and this program," stated Barnes. "Their close working relationship and partnership will provide meaningful dividends as officers put this training to use in the community."
To demonstrate his point, Barnes remarked that just two days after the training was complete, the Price PD made two separate referrals in the course of a single day between a mentally ill individual, members of their family and four corners.
The Carbon County regional facilitators for the CIT program include Barnes, Price Officer Susan Hyde, Registered Nurse Robin Potochnik and local Therapist Pat Wilson.
While the first goal of the CIT program is to provide officers with the necessary skills to intervene in these tense situations, the second goal works to establish a system which makes the law enforcement officer a "team member," working with mental health to determine the best way to move forward with a given individual.
"Instead of working independently, our law enforcement teams will be working with mental health resources to find more appropriate and long term solutions for those with problematic issues," explained Barnes. "The bottom line is that this training provides law enforcement officers with options for dealing with the most difficult of situations, situations which happen more often than some might think. This training is already helping immensely."
Mental health officials and those associated with the local chapter of the National Association for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) have stated that they are just as pleased with this the training and program as those in law enforcement.
"This partnership is truly historic," said Stella Smith of Castle Country NAMI. "I enjoyed participating in the training and hope my story helped to combat the stigma associated with mental illness and shed some light on what caretakers of the mentally ill go through."
Both Barnes and Smith discussed the possibility this training presents concerning keeping the mentally ill out of lock up and in treatment where many of them belong.
"More appropriate and long term solutions will now be our goal when it comes to calls that involve a person who may be experiencing a mental crisis," concluded Barnes. "We are ready to work as a team with those at Four Corners to make sure the public is protected and that those who need assistance, get it."

How Does Your Garden Grow?
Posted 19 May 2010 - 11:44 AM
These photos are from early on in the season - since they were taken, the tulips have all blossomed in firey reds, oranges and yellows and the smoke tree has filled out in beautiful burgundy leaves!
Early in the season, everything is just starting to grow...
Cute little pansy faces!
These pansies have a tie-dye look to them!
Daffodil - I love the peach and white colours of this one!
The rock garden featuring stonecrop, creeping thyme, hens and chicks and a
smoke tree as well as two gifts from friends - a ceramic egg and a flying cow.
A close-up of the flying cow nestled among the stonecrop.
These flower buds will become the "smoke" on the smoke tree.

I just deadheaded (I love that term! ) the first two tulips and a few of the pansies and noticed that I have three more tulips on their way up as well as a couple more daffs. I plan to add some lilies, poppies and herbs (lavender!) to the perennial garden sometime next week... Then there is the veggie garden to attend to... I think that next year I will try and start my veggies from seed.

Misty Mountain, can you tell me more about your organization? Do you guys have a website I can check out?
I picked up some day lilies and poppies this weekend, as well as some herbs and a juniper which I will plant tonight. These are some photos I snapped last week:
I usually deadhead the pansies as the blooms fade so that they will keep producing flowers. I missed this one tho, and ot went to seed.
Tulips reaching for the sky and sun.
The hens are starting to offshoot more chicks... Check out the wee one emerging between the leaves of the hen in he lower right corner of the photo.

I got the veggies planted this weekend:
The veggie and herb garden is at the opposite end of the deck... It's a nice place to sit and read as the herbs perfum the air with sweet and spicy scents!
I planted golden tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes, eggplant, jalapenos, yellow sweet peppers, and cucumber for the veggie section. I might add some zucchini or strawberries this week.
The middle of the garden has basil bordering the veggie section, and some lavender and deep burgundy ornamental grass and a bit of room for some more plants.
The far end has lemon balm, a red Japanese maple, ferns, two kinds of oregano, lemon thyme and some mint. I might add some rosemary as well.
I put some bamboo poles in to stake out the veggies as they grow.
I planted some "roaring fire" coleus in smaller terrazzo planters to add some colour... I'm hoping to overwinter these plants indoors as I am in love with their bright pinky-orange leaves!!!

Thanks for sharing so far everyone - it'll be cool to see how our gardens progress thru the season!
Blueberries are yummy. Gardening in the city can be fun. One tends to
get creative with limited space..as you have demonstrated.

Nice Joe... Your vino collection really catches my eye as well... I love the grape!
Thanks I've collected a nice verity these past years. I have ton of 2006 bottles just waiting for a good time. Actually at this moment I have a case of wine waiting for me to pick up. I joined a few clubs and every so often for holidays they send promo deals. The cases for those deals usually go for around $80 with shipping for 12 bottles. Not a bad deal.
awesome set up Joe.
Thanks, it took some planning and a little cash to get the right set up for indoor gardening. It sucks that I only get sun in the morning. So I need the lights for noon on. It's helped significantly.
awesome everyone. gardening has really become an addiction for me. i can see how much pride everyone takes in keeping up:smile:
i need to get some updated pics, everything has taken off
Gardening is really addicting especially if you grow something from seed. It's almost a pride thing knowing your took care of this plant from the beginning to the harvest time. Most of all the benefits are always nice. For me I'm looking forward to making some organic pasta sauce and eggplantparm.
Posted 29 June 2010 - 05:10 AM
Lettuce on the left, spinach on the right.
Peppers on the right, and I planted some onions in the deeper box on the left. We've got some tomatoes in pots and various herbs in others and so far, it's all looking pretty good. Not as fun as working the real earth, but it's better than nothing until the wife and I get the real plot of land.

I love when I have NEW (to me) favorite things to share, so I had to delay my post while I took photos of what came in the mail today. Then, we lost power at our house for some reason, and I had to wait for the power to come back on before I could post.
You may have seen these adorable Uncle Sam figures before, but not on my blog! I am the very lucky beneficiary of Sarah's (Hyacinths for the Soul) editing of her patriotic decor!! Yea! Just look at these darling Uncle Sam wooden figures that came in the mail today from Sarah! (No, it's not my birthday – Sarah's just that way!) If you don't currently visit Sarah, you need to go over and visit this sweet lady. She posts such creative photoscapes (I don't know if that's a word or not. If we can have tablescapes, I guess we can have photoscapes).
Thank you so much Sarah. I love your edited treasures!
I had ordered some pretties from the Etsy shop of Linda at A La Carte, and they also arrived in today's mail! These breakables were wrapped so well and arrived in perfect condition, with a couple of bags of delicious tea Linda sent. Thank you Linda! If you haven't shopped in Linda's Etsy, Antiqgirl, you need to go check out all of her pretties.
My sweet sister-in-law, Brenda, showed up at my house today with a surprise for me (no, it's not my birthday-Brenda's just that way)! She had found these darling metal children's plates at a yard sale and knew I'd love them, so she got them for me! Am I just the luckiest person ever?
Since I love to get packages in the mail during the summer (okay, I love getting packages any time of the year), I'm linking to Summer Sundays at The Tablescaper.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. Please visit the other participants in Favorite Things Saturday. laurie
