It's scary to find out you've not been taking proper care of yourself
Responsible, elegant, determined, intergenerational, promising, informative: These are a few adjectives to describe the "Loving Yourself" event held March 19 at Heritage Senior Center in North Minneapolis. The event was promoted as a Breast Cancer Awareness event for African and African American women sponsored by Neighborhood Healthsource and many other community participants such as the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, UCare, Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, and the African American Breast Cancer Alliance. Approaching the venue, participants were greeted with the "Q"mmunity truck, a mobile health unit owned and operated by the Southside Community Health Services Inc. There was also a truck dedicated to providing mammography testing for women who were curious and willing. These health checkpoints were available to visitors before stepping into the "meat and potatoes" of the event. Participants were enthusiastically welcomed at an information table with personalized nametags, recyclable bags, and other small "thank you for coming" sponsorship items.
The main floor of the Heritage Senior Center houses a YMCA that is dedicated to helping those seniors who live in the residential space of Heritage and the local community. Continue Reading →

Episode Plot
Ash and co. arrive on Kumquat Island where Ash hopes to win his final badge. As a woman on the beach advertizes her hotel she notices Ash, rushes up to him and nearly hugs the life out of him because she thought Ash was her son. After the confusion was cleared up Team Rocket appears in a giant robotic Rhydon. The woman calls out her Alakazam and is revealed to be Luana, the Kumquat Gym Leader. After Team Rocket was defeated (again), Ash challenged Luana to a gym battle and she accepted his challenge. The rules were to use two Pokémon at the same time. Can Ash adjust to this new style of battling and win his final badge?
Human Characters
- This is the second episode where a mother character mistakes Ash for her own son. The first time this happened was in "IL027: Hypno's Naptime".
- This episode was the first to introduce Double Battles, a concept which was very popular from Generation III onward.
- This episode marks the second time Jessie was called "Old".
- A scene where Luana squeezed Ash was cut from the original, due to him being squeezed onto her breasts.
- A scene where Jynx was on a treadmill was removed for Blackface racism.
- Ash's Charizard used Tackle in this episode. The Charizard Family is unable to use this move.
- This is the third episode we see Misty without her side-ponytail.
- While heading to the Kumquat Gym, Luana didn't have her lipstick on.

Comments On Oct 23, 2007:This foot pump is ok. I wish they would have put some big rubber feet on it, so it would not sink down in the dirt as much, when you have to use it on the trail. Also, if you are storing it in your rack bag on your quad or wherever you have it, check it after a weekend trip, because the nuts will vibrate loose, and then it will not function properly. When you go to put your foot on the pedal, it will bind up and not pump. I modified mine with some loctite on the nuts, and I keep it in a rubbermade container with a lid, so it will not open up in my rack bag. Also, if you keep it in the box it comes in, and that box gets just a little wet, it will disintegrate in your rack bag. All in all this pump is ok, I just think that if they are going to market it for people who use it on the trail, which is where most of us would use it, they should make a few changes to the design.

A story that Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o's girlfriend had died of leukemia — a loss he said inspired him to help lead the Irish to the BCS championship game — was dismissed by the university Wednesday as a hoax perpetrated against the linebacker.
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick says his faith has not been shaken in Te'o "one iota."
Swarbrick says an investigation by a firm the school hired has convinced him that Te'o was duped into an online relationship with a woman whose death was then faked by the perpetrators of the hoax.

Fort Wayne, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - It's a campaign mailer unlike anything you've probably ever seen or heard and it might be in your mailbox soon.
The mailer plays audio of several controversial quotes from Richard Mourdock, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.
"Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," says Mourdock.
Officials with the progressive PAC, American Bridge 21st Century, told us they spent $30,000 on the mailers.
The content paints Mourdock as an extremist, using portions of quotes about partisanship, military cuts, eliminating the Department of Education, and of course pregnancy from rape.
A spokesperson for American Bridge says while they don't support any specific candidates. They also sent out a similar mailer in Missouri two weeks ago about Senate Candidate Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comments.

Hi Vandelay,
As to the art of manual cartography, check out the tutorials in the tutorial sections. The science (such as it is) is contemporaneous to the date the map was drawn and how much the cartographer has applied. To find out about that you are probably best served reading books about the history of maps. The Story of Maps by Brown would be a good start. We tend to draw mostly fantasy maps here, so although we borrow elements from old real life maps, generally there is not much real life science applied to the maps we draw. Some people apply tectonic and climatic principles to creating their worlds but most of us just draw stuff that looks cool
Welcome to the guild!

Version 1.6 Developer Notes
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 06:45, 11 October 2008 by Masterchief (Talk | contribs)
This article or section is incomplete, which means it may be lacking information. You are welcome to assist in its completion by editing it as well. If this article or section has not been edited in several days, please consider helping complete the content.
This article was last edited by Masterchief (talk| contribs) 7 years ago. (Purge)
Compilation of developer notes on changes in 1.6.
Added ACL tables (todo - list them) Removed jos_groups table
JDatabase::setQuery casts the sql variable to a string. This allows you to pass an object that implements the __toString magic method.
JModel::getState will now take an optional second argument to set the default. $value = $model->getState( 'foo', 'bar' );
Both JFile::write and JFTP::write now use a reference for its second argument. Code like JFile::write($filename,'string'); will fail, however $data = 'string'; JFile::write($filename, $data); will work for both 1.5 and 1.6
JAuthorization::getUserAccessLevels( $section [, $action = 'view'] ).
JTableTree as an abstract class for tree-based tables.
JModel has an addition contruction option and internal variable
__state_set. This is used to lazy-load model initialisation.
Join for access level
LEFT JOIN #__groups AS g ON g.id = c.access
LEFT JOIN #__core_acl_axo_groups AS g ON g.value = a.access
Legacy Mode
Only available in legacy mode (to be dropped in future versions):
global $mainframe- Use
$app = &JFactory::getApplication()instead.
- JTemplate (patTemplate completely deprecated)
Files/Features Dropped
Don't forget to do this:
- Access Level links in backend lists need to be refactored to support the new levels available in the jos_core_acl_axo_groups table.

Here are a couple of my favorites:
Servings: 6 - 8
3 lb skinless chicken cut into medium pieces
1 Tbsp salt or to your taste
1 tsp dry oregano
5 cloves peeled, crushed garlic
1 large onion, chopped into small pieces
1 small green pepper, chopped into small pieces
4 bay leaves
3 oz green stuffed Spanish olives
1 small can tomato sauce
1 cup fresh cilantro (optional)
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 can beer (Bud / Coors etc.. (not dark))
1 tsp paprika or saffron
3.5 cups water
2.5 cups long grain rice
1 can each: small early peas, pimentos and asparagus
Season the chicken pieces thoroughly on all sides with the first 9 ingredients or first 10 ingredients if adding the cilantro. Place them in a large oven-proof pot or casserole over medium heat and stir well. Add the water, vinegar, and paprika or saffron, and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Add the rice and cook covered for an additional 10 minutes over low heat.
Remove the casserole/pot from the stove and place it into an oven that has been preheated at 325ºF; cook covered for another 15 minutes. Add the can of beer, stirring it into the chicken-rice mixture with a fork. Place the cover back and continue to cook until all the liquid has been absorbed. This should take an additional 5 to 10 minutes, approximately. When rice is dry and fluffy, it is done!
Mix the early peas into the Arroz con Pollo using a fork. Slice the pimentos lengthwise, into strips. Keep covered in the oven or on the stove over very low heat until ready to eat. Just before bringing the Arroz con Pollo to the table, garnish it with the strips of pimento and asparagus spears.
Serve with sweet fried plantains (recipe below) and a simple salad of lettuce, tomato, and thin sliced onion with olive oil and vinegar dressing.
Platanos Maduros Fritos /
(Fried Sweet Plantains)
Soft in the center and crisp outside, this side dish accompanies most Cuban meals.
Vegetable oil for frying
3 medium-size very ripe plantains (skin should be partly black -trust me!) peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick diagonally
Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet until hot (plantain should sizzle when it touches the oil.) Fry as many rounds as will fit in one layer until golden brown about 2-3 minutes on each side turning with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper tower-lined platter and serve immediately.
A nice chilled bottle of crisp white Spanish wine such as Torres Fransola Sauvignon Blanc 2000 makes for a memorable meal.
Buen provecho, enjoy!

Big Red: Once A Cub Now A Rocky
The A's recently traded former Cub Matt Murton to Colorado.
I think it's a big-break for the big red-head.
With Matt Holiday sent packing to Oakland earlier this off season, the Rockies' LF position is wide open for the 27-year-old Murton.
If given a chance to play everyday, I believe Murton can put up strong numbers, especially slugging in Denver's thin air.
Plus, heading into his prime years Murton already brings to the table a respectable career average of .288 and a .354 OBP in just 900 at-bats.
I envision more power from Murton, more RBIs and perhaps a season so strong Cubs fans will want to know "why'd we get rid of this guy?"
- Dusty Baker is a better manager than most Cubs fans give him credit for.
And despite his label as a veteran's first guy, Baker has gone with youth in Cincinnati – that is, until he went good-buddy system with Jacque Jones and Daryle Ward.
Didn't Dusty learn anything from bringing Corey Patterson to the Reds???
- Bob Costas joining the MLB Network is a perfect fit.
The man is passionate about baseball, and still is after 29-years of broadcasting nearly every single major sporting even.
When you get paid for fulfilling your passion, it's not work.
The best part is MLB promising Costas that he'll have free range in criticizing his new employer…but, we'll see how long before Costas has the opportunity to do so.
- See who's taking over for Costas at HBO.
- And see what Rangers fan will see this season.

A talk show prize and a trip of a lifetime turned fatal for a Camp Lejeune Marine over the weekend.
Police in Euroa, Australia are still working to determine what happened Saturday, according Australian newspapers.
In a YouTube video posted online, you see Cherilyn McGraw of Hampstead on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, playing a game of "Stuff Your Down Under Pants," in an effort to win a trip for two to Australia.
McGraw won the game, and according to multiple reports, she and her 33-year-old husband, Gunnery Sgt. Brandon McGraw, took that trip this past weekend.
The Australian papers say paramedics arrived to find McGraw in cardiac arrest, and he died at the scene of the crash.
Police in Euroa are said to be compiling their reports to submit to the coroner's office for further review.
Camp Lejeune says McGraw was a well-trained free fall parachutist, who was assigned to Company G, 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion. His wife is an exceptional children teacher at Topsail High School in Hampstead.
No word yet on any funeral arrangements for McGraw.

New MLB Schedule Reduces Fake Cubs vs. White Sox 'Rivalry'
You won't hear negative feedback from baseball fans on the new proposed interleague scheduling plan that shortens 'natural rivalry' series from its current six-game format to four-games in most seasons.
What baseball fans want most in season scheduling is fairness, which is exactly the aim of the proposal to begin in time for the 2013 season.
I've never bought into the 'natural rivalries' anyway. The Cubs & White Sox are hardly rivals. Same can be said for the Mets & Yankees, Reds & Indians, Dodgers & Angels and so on…
Baseball fans have never confused these series as true sports rivalries, which can only be born from great competition among two teams on the playing field–not in the marketing department of MLB.
Rivalries develop over time, beginning most often during the regular season and then further progressing during playoffs series.
What they're not is 'natural'.

Preventing Poisoning in Young Children
Topic Overview
If you have a possible poisoning emergency, call 1-800-222-1222 and you will be automatically transferred to the closest poison control center.
Many of the items in our homes can be poisonous to children—household cleaners, medicines, cosmetics, garden products, and houseplants. If these items are not kept out of reach, your child could swallow, inhale, or eat these toxic substances or get them on his or her skin.
Young children have the highest risk of poisoning because of their natural curiosity. Products that are poisonous to children can also harm pets.
Use the following tips to keep dangerous products or items away from children.
Preventing poisoning
- Choose the least hazardous product available for the job.
- Use the lowest-risk form and the smallest amount of product needed.
- Never leave a poisonous product unattended, even for a moment. Many poisonings occur when an adult becomes distracted by the doorbell, a telephone, or some other interruption.
- Keep household plants out of reach. Many are poisonous if they are chewed or ingested.
- Use childproof latches on your cupboards. And be careful of what you store in your bedside table and other cupboards that are lower than your shoulder height.
- Keep products in their original labeled containers. Never store poisonous products in food containers.
- Use "Mr. Yuk" stickers, and teach your children to recognize them. These stickers are available from your local poison control center or hospital.
- Post the phone number to the poison control center or emergency room in several places throughout the house.
- Purchase items that are in child-resistant containers.
- Choose multi-use products to cut down on the number of different chemicals around your house.
- Read product labels for caution statements, how to use the
product correctly, and first aid instructions. Common poisonous substances
- Cosmetics, nail care products, and perfumes.
- Arts and crafts products, such as glue.
- Bleach, dishwater detergent, drain and toilet bowl cleaners, furniture polish, and other cleaning products.
- Windshield washer fluid and antifreeze.
- Turpentine products, kerosene, lye, lighter fluid, and paint thinners and solvents.
- Garden products, especially products that kill insects, pests, or weeds.
- Batteries and mothballs.
- Reduce your child's exposure to lead in your home, drinking water, foods and other items. For more information, see the topic Lead Poisoning.
House and garden poisons
- Keep products completely out of the reach and sight of children. Do not keep poisons, such as drain opener, detergent, oven cleaner, or plant food, under your kitchen sink.
- Look for words that signal the level of poison danger in pesticide products. The word "Caution" on a pesticide label means the product is slightly toxic. The word "Warning" means the product is moderately toxic. And the word "Danger" means the product is highly toxic.1 For more information, go to the National Pesticide Information Center website at www.npic.orst.edu.
- Use only nontoxic arts and crafts materials.
- Check your home for lead paint chips if your home was built before 1978.
- Don't forget your garage when poison-proofing your home. Keep poisons and flammables out of reach of children. For example, kerosene, lamp oil, gasoline, and fertilizers are all poisonous when ingested. Many products kept in garages also are fire hazards.
Alcohol and medicines
- Keep alcohol, medicines (including vitamins), tobacco products, and dietary supplements out of the sight and reach of children. Aspirin is a common source of childhood poisoning, especially flavored "baby" aspirin. And children sometimes eat cigarettes.
- Do not take medicines in front of your young child. Children like to mimic adult actions. They may eat something inappropriate in an attempt to be like you.
- Educate your child about the effects of alcohol and medicines.
- Never call medicines "candy."
- Keep medicines in their original labeled containers.
- Buy over-the-counter medicines that have child-resistant packages.
- Check the expiration dates on medicines. Mix old medicines into coffee grounds or cat litter and put them in the trash. Don't flush them down the toilet.
Chemicals and fumes
- Never mix chemicals.
- Keep cleaners or chemicals in their original containers.
- Only use chemicals in well-ventilated areas.

An institution providing soft loans to women entrepreneurs known as Inuka has awarded two journalists, who are members of Tanga Press Club, for reporting on the violation of the rights of elders, women and children in the region.
The awards were presented recently by Inuka Director David Msuya during a ceremony held at the Roman Catholic Hall and was attended by Tanga pres club leaders and other stakeholders.
The two journalists awarded certificates and money were Anna Makange and Salim Mohamed.
Speaking during the presentation of the awards Msuya said his organisation was pleased with the way the two journalists scarified themselves in reporting issues concerning elders, women and children because they were among the vulnerable groups in society.He said apart from providing loans to women Inuka was also dealing with advocacy of the rights of women, children, elders and even people with disabilities so that they too could enjoy their basic rights as other members of society.
He said to ensure their work and objectives were fulfilled, Inuka worked closely with journalists from different media houses and by so doing they had been keenly following up what had been reported about the groups.
He further said in Tanga Region they found out that the two journalists did a wonderful job in reporting. Therefore, the awards given to them would motivate them and other journalists to report more on issues touching vulnerable groups in the country.
He said his organisation would continue giving such awards to journalists every year in collaboration with press clubs and urged the recipients and other journalists to know that they had the obligation of informing members of the public about issues that touched their welfare.

Paul McIlhenny, the chairman and chief executive of the company that makes Tabasco sauce, has died. He was 68.
McIlhenny Company, based in Avery Island, Louisiana, said he died Saturday. The cause of death was not immediately clear.
"All of McIlhenny Company and the McIlhenny and Avery families are deeply saddened by this news," Tony Simmons, president of McIlhenny Company, said in a statement Sunday. "We will clearly miss Paul's devoted leadership but will more sorely feel the loss of his acumen, his charm and his irrepressible sense of humor."
He joined the 145-year-old company in 1967 and is credited with overseeing years of record growth in sales and earnings. He is also credited with introducing new flavors and products, and expanding where Tabasco brand products are sold.

We are eager to help you and your family understand our financial aid
programs, and to assist you in finding ways to meet your educational
costs. Each year, more than 90% of our veterinary students receive some
form of need-based assistance. Typical financial aid packages are
comprised of institutional gift aid, loans, and external scholarships,
in addition to student earnings and parents' contributions. Our College
commits more that $2 million annually to provide financial assistance
to students. We strive to make a Cornell veterinary degree accessible to
a diverse student body, and to ensure that those with demonstrated
financial need can afford to pursue their dream of becoming a
Our financial aid applicants received financial assistance from the following sources:
|LOANS: federal and campus based
|GIFT AID: grants, scholarships and fellowships
|SELF HELP: student earnings and parental contributions
|OUTSIDE GIFT AID: state grants and private scholarships
While loans and family contributions still represent the major sources of money for veterinary students, increasing available grant and scholarship moneys continues to be one of the College's highest fundraising priorities. All applicants for financial aid are automatically considered for any gift aid available through the College, providing they have supplied the necessary documentation.
Awards of financial aid are based upon a careful analysis of each student's need. Individual packages will, of course, vary depending on personal circumstances. We take the demands and constraints of the educational program into consideration when formulating a financial aid package, so award packages may also vary from year to year. For example, first-year students are encouraged to concentrate on making a successful adjustment to the rigorous academic program and are advised not to make a large commitment to employment during the academic year. Therefore, a first-year student's package may contain a slightly larger percentage of loans than that of the average second-year student, who may be better able to afford a few hours each week to substitute earnings for borrowed funds.
All students younger than 30 years of age on January 1 of the year of financial aid application are considered to be dependent on their families. The ability of the family to assist the student (rather than parental preference or intent) is the basis for determining eligibility for institutional aid such as College grants and scholarships, and the Health Professions Student Loan (which is mandated by federal guidelines). Students in graduate and professional programs are considered independent for purposes of the Federal Direct Loan programs and Federal Work Study. Students who want aid only from those programs need not provide parental data.
All offers of financial aid are based on financial data, provided by students and their families. All students applying for aid should plan to have their federal income tax returns completed (and other information needed to complete the financial aid application) by late February to ensure timely processing of the information and receipt of a financial aid offer. First-time applicants and their families will be asked to provide verification of federal adjusted gross income and taxes paid through the Internal Revenue Service as well as copies of the actual tax returns filed.
To expedite your financial aid offer, please provide financial information as early as possible. If we contact you to to clarify or verify information stated on the required Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the supplemental College Scholarship Service (CSS) PROFILE application, please respond as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary delay.
Financial aid resources in the College are managed to support the goal of equality of educational opportunity and are allocated on the basis of demonstrated need. No student shall be denied access to financial aid or be discriminated against otherwise because of race, color, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin, age or disability. In addition, the admissions process will in no way be influenced by the need for financial aid. All information relating to an applicant's personal or familial financial circumstances is held in strictest confidence.

Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) newly leased Boeing 737-500 plane will begin Dar-Mwanza-Kilimanjaro flights before embarking on international flights, the Chief Executive Officer Paul Chizi has said.
Speaking shortly after the arrival of the 108-seater plane leased from Aero Vista Dubai, Chizi said ATCL will resume flights in a week's time, hinting at the possibility of linking Dar es Salaam to Dubai during the next three months.
"Tanzanians should expect the best services that they have missed for some time. This time we expect to give timely but affordable services," he said.
Chizi said the company will enter into joint ventures with international flight carriers in a bid to expand its footprint, stressing that the initiative will be on a win-win situation.
"Through such partnerships, we will ensure there is a win-win situation. Where a company doesn't benefit such partnership doesn't last," he said.
He added that the company's plane undergoing repairs at Terminal One will be ready in the next six weeks and will help boost the company's service delivery.
The leased plane has already been inspected by a team of experts from the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) in Cairo, Egypt and a certificate granted for the plane to operate in the country.
ATCL recently launched a website in order to improve customer service delivery as well as boost the national flag carrier's efficiency.
The website enables customers to make bookings without going through ATCL offices or agents and enables customers to air their views through social networks.
The ATCL CEO told reporters a few that acquisition of the plane was a short-term plan to enhance the firm's service delivery, adding that the airline has a long-term plan that will be implemented accordingly.
In April this year, all 35 passengers and crew aboard an ATCL flight 'Ft 119' from Kigoma to Dar es Salaam cheated death after the plane crashed on take-off at the world's second deepest lake-side town.
Speaking after the accident, Kigoma Acting Regional Police Commander Kihenya Kihenya, said the plane had apparently failed to take off and instead run into a grass patch off the runway.

Spend as little as possible on charter
The Los Altos School District board went through a thorough process last year of inviting the Citizens Advisory Committee for Finance to come up with a six-year fiscal plan which resulted in the recommendation of only running six schools. Then the LASD Board went through another long series of meetings to listen to everyone's views on criteria to use to determine which school to close.
I went to all of those meetings and even tried my hand at trying to create scenarios where each school was closed and the others remained open. It was clear to me from my own exercise that Bullis was the school to close because most of the kids live in the northern parts of the district.
Not being satisfied with the LASD Board decision, the Bullis Charter School folks decided to go against the decision of their elected officials and took advantage of a legal loophole in the law to force the district to open a seventh school.
Running a good school district DOES come down to money. The schools need staff such as teachers, principals, secretaries, custodians, music teachers etc. And it costs to heat and light the buildings.
If there are to be seven schools, then some programs will have to be cut, OR the district will have to close a different school instead to get back down to six.
Since I don't like seeing a small minority of people dictate to the majority of people how many schools should operate, I would like the district to spend as little money on the Charter school as possible.

Renegades opponents
should recall history
In response to your article regarding the expulsion of the Renegades from Foothill College (Town Crier, Sept. 10), I would like to say how typical of the condescending attitude of those who feign support and appreciation of the performing arts when in fact they are nothing more than narrow minded art snobs. Their appreciation and support of the arts are relegated to the more "traditional" genre of classical music. But even this genre had its "renegades."
Igor Stawinsky's "Rite of Spring" caused rioting in the streets of Paris when it was first performed in 1913 because people did not understand the unrelenting driving power of the music. Benny Goodman, who was classically trained, was accused of an assault "of cacophonous sounds" in his time with his "swing" music.
The San Francisco Renegades, a drum and bugle corps, has taken the "traditional" genre of marching and musical performance, folded it and expanded it to a much higher level by incorporating unconventional methods of marching, modern dance and music that runs the spectrum.
Nothing dictates that the art of music be created in a studio or dance be performed on a stage. The stadium is our studio, the football field our stage.
I suggest that in the future when Mr. Seyfert writes an article that he do a little research on his subject and that he be a little more objective by obtaining both sides of the story before submitting the article for print and that his editor insure that he is doing so.

Drum Corps article
was insulting
I am a member of the Renegades Drum and Bugle Corps, the organization mentioning in the recent article "Band gets boot."
I found the article flippant and insulting. We work very hard at what we do and are well respected within our art community. To be described as a public nuisance is unjustified and uninformed.
It is disheartening that national caliber music group involved in a wholesome activity can not find support in Los Altos. I am also disappointed that your paper treated our organization with such disrespect.

Ignorance perpetuated
action, article
If you were to ask any of the neighbors of Foothill College if they support the performing arts they would undoubtedly say that they do. I find it horribly ironic and sad then that these same neighbors would go out of their way to evict the San Francisco Renegades from their rehearsal facilities.
I am also disappointed at the ignorance of the Los Altos Town Crier for not even researching the Drum Corps activity before printing it's article.
This is not a high school marching band. Drum Corps is a precision based musical performance unlike any other art form in the world.
The music performed by the Renegades ranges from classical to Jazz and requires a physically demanding and sometimes dangerous maneuvers to attain the high visual and musical impact they are known for.
For all the research the Town Crier did, they might as well have called Cirque du Soleil a "high school gymnastics troop."
The San Francisco Renegades travel once a year to the Drum Corps Associates World Championships where they are the sole representation of this art form from the west coast.
Their promotion of the Drum Corps activity had led to the revival of several Drum Corps organizations throughout the state.
It saddens me that the "not in my backyard" attitude towards the arts persists in California. Rather than educating themselves on the nature of the Drum Corps activity, the neighbors of Foothill College simply took the easy way out and made enough noise of their own just so they could have a couple weekends without anything different affecting their lives.
What the neighbors of Foothill College have done is shameful at best and ignorant at worst.
Had they actually taken the time to learn more about what it was they were protesting, they might have actually opened their minds to something they never new existed. Instead they closed their eyes to something different that they refused to learn anything more about. They will never know what they were missing.

'Taste of Village'
was delightful
Congratulations to the restaurants and stores which participated in the first-ever "Taste of Los Altos" event! It was a delightful evening of delicious tastings, fine wines, and running into lots of friends.
I couldn't make it to all the participants but A.G. Ferrari, Satkar, and I Fratelli deserve special praise for their generous tastings.
And Matlby's outdid themselves, seating patrons and serving a wonderful warm spinach and chicken salad.
The price was a bargain - let's do it again next year!

The sixth annual "Record Store Day" is today. Record Store Day was the brainchild of Chris Brown from Bull Moose. Now, it's evolved into a national and international event celebrating independent music retailers. MPBN Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz spoke with Brown about this year's event, which features a book signing with John Densmore, the drummer for The Doors.
Chris Brown says the "Record Store Day" event swelled in scope far beyond anything he expected.
"The first year we had around 500 stores, which is way more than I thought. I thought we'd start out with around 200. The second year was crazy. We were well over 1,000. Last year we there were, maybe, 1600 stores worldwide. Nobody in Antarctica celebrates Record Store Day; there aren't any stores there, but we've got every other continent covered. Well, I think that the biggest thing that Record Store Day did was it just changed the conversation. Before Record Store Day, all anybody was talking about was the chain stores closing, people buying fewer CD's. And, what I really wanted to do with Record Store Day was to focus on the good news within the music industry. People still love music. People still think music is worth paying for. And, at the independent store level, we were experiencing - not just at Bull Moose, but all across the country - independent stores were growing. We were selling more music every year. We're going to sell more music every year. We're going to sell more music in 2013 than we did in 2012. It's growing in our sector. And I wanted people to know that: First of all, I wanted our customers to know that because they needed assurance that we would be there for them forever. But the folks in the music industry who were seeing all their colleagues laid off, they needed that good news too. And so that's why they've jumped on this and that's why they're so supportive - with money, with releases. You know, it's like the only good news they've had in years."
Brown admits these have been years of upheavel in the music industry.
"The major shift is that - is really with the pop artists. Because if you wanted one N'Sync song in 1998, you really had to buy a whole album, but now, you can buy a couple of One Direction tracks and maybe you're all set. So there's just less revenue coming in on the pop side. So the monster, monster artists are just smaller. So Katie Perry is smaller than - in terms of record sales or C-D sales, for whatever, add it all together - is gonna sell fewer things than Mariah Carey ever did. Not that either one's better or worse, it's just, that's kind of how it is."
The music industry will support Record Store Day with some new releases. Brown says Bull Moose will also try to make it a more interesting day to shop for that music.
"Every Bull Moose store will have at least one free live concert. Most of them are local Maine and New Hampshire artists, well known ones like Spencer Albee or Dead Season. The most famous person who will be at Bull Moose is John Densmore, who's the drummer of The Doors, and he actually will be signing a book, not playing drums. His second book is coming out on Record Store Day and the hard cover edition is a special, limited edition thing that will only be at independent record and book stores. It's very exciting that he'll be here. There are also more than 450 releases that are coming out on Record Store Day and they'll only be available at independent music stores. It's just a huge variety of people are putting stuff out: there's a Paul McCartney thing, there's Bowie. The big one around here is Mumford and Sons because that was recorded at Bull Moose last August. And what's nice about that is the cover shows the band's backside, but it shows the faces of all their fans who were at the show. So, if you were there, you might be on the cover."
Chris Brown of Bull Moose Music, discussing the sixth annual "Record Store Day."

Narrow Sea
this wiki
- "Even a million Dothraki are no threat to the realm, as long as they remain on the other side of the Narrow Sea."
- ―Eddard Stark to King Robert Baratheon
The Narrow Sea is the sea that lies to the east of Westeros. It separates Westeros from the larger continent of Essos to the east. The sea is relatively narrow passing east to west between the continents and easy to cross, hence its name. However, while it is narrow enough to allow commercial shipping and cultural transmission to pass between the two continents, it is large enough to make large-scale invasions and military incursions between the Seven Kingdoms and the Free Cities difficult.
The Narrow Sea runs from roughly just east of the Vale to just north-east of Dorne. In the north it opens out into the circumpolar ocean known as the Shivering Sea (which separates Essos from the northern icecap), while in the south it is divided from the larger Summer Sea by the island-chain known as the Stepstones. The Stepstone island chain is itself the remnant of a land bridge known as the Arm of Dorne that once crossed the Narrow Sea and linked Westeros with Essos, but which was destroyed 12,000 years ago. The Westerosi cities of White Harbor, Gulltown, and King's Landing lie on its western shores, and the Free Cities of Braavos, Pentos, Tyrosh, and Myr lie on its eastern shores.[1]
- "It won't be long now. Soon you will cross the Narrow Sea and take back your father's throne."
- ―Illyrio Mopatis to Viserys Targaryen

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Narrow Sea is a body of water separating Westeros from Essos. The lands bordering it, such as King's Landing or Pentos, have a warm Mediterranean climate in the south, but more temperate in north. A slight change is that King's Landing in the books has a temperate climate (comparable to Paris or London), while in the TV series it is depicted as having a Mediterranean climate (with scenes filmed in Malta and Croatia). This change was made to emphasize how much more wealthy and abundant King's Landing is than Winterfell. In the books, only the southern portions of the Narrow Sea, such as around Dorne and the Stepstones, have a Mediterranean climate.
Braavos has the largest and most powerful navy on the Narrow Sea.
