Fashion's Night Out in Palm Beach, Boca, Lauderdale and Miami
One day in 2009 Anna Wintour – editrix of "Vogue" and the last word in all things fabulous – decided that the recession was unfashionable.
Not being a shrinking violet, she set about doing something about it. After ringing up NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg for some municipal muscle, she launched Fashion's Night Out in the Big Apple to give retail a big boost.
Now the shopping event – this year on Thursday, September 6 – is a global effort, tied to getting the consumer excited about fashion and into the malls, stores and boutiques around the world. In Manhattan it is also the official start of New York Fashion Week.

Check out the inspiring vision Msgr. Kevin Sullivan shared with a packed crowd on Wednesday, February 26, at Catholic Charities annual gala at The Waldorf-Astoria on Wednesday.
During the past year, stock markets have hit a new high. New York City has a new Mayor. Tragically, new violence and ongoing civil unrest afflict countries with familiar and unfamiliar names, Pope Francis, whom everybody is quoting, has been named Time's Person of the Year, and in case you hadn't noticed it's snowed a bit.
And through all of this – daily Catholic Charities compassionately and effectively provided emergency meals, prevented evictions, counseled families recovering from Super-Storm Sandy, provided day care for working moms, welcomed immigrants by teaching English and finding jobs and established a new youth wellness program – and much more.
Your critical support for Catholic Charities helps to deepen and expand these services, meet unmet and new needs and strengthen a network of some 90 agencies that carries out this vital work in the communities and neighborhoods of greater New York.
Also we have a new buzz word: "inequality." For Catholic Charities inequality is not a spiritual catchphrase, nor a political slogan and certainly not a mantra-like wedge to be used to divide us from each other. For Catholic Charities, inequality is the sad reality that our staff and volunteers encounter every day in our neighbors – a reality that urgently challenges us to come together to build a common good in which the basics – decent housing, nutritious meals, a good job and a supportive and loving family – are had by all.
Our core belief that every person is made in the image of God demands no less from us.
Catholic Charities works with individuals who, along with being poor and struggling, have remarkable strengths. We envision a world of greater solidarity which builds on, and draws from, the strengths and resources of us all – a world in which none are so poor that they have nothing to give and none too rich that they have nothing to receive.

September is here and school is underway, so if you haven't hit the stores yet for some back to school shopping, now is the time. These great looks come from The Children's Hour, Macy's, and local bag maker Ogio, and are great examples of the top trends of the season.
Fashions never really die, and this year preppy is reemerging. Bright colors and patterns like this new orange-and-white striped Tommy Girl cardigan at Macy's is a great way to start building your "preppy" look.
Stripes are in, but so is plaid. From scarfs to skirts you can find a variety of stylish plaid clothing this Fall, such as this cute layered blue cardigan and matching plaid skirt also at Macy's.
What would a back to school outfit be without new shoes? This year Toms lead out as the fashionable footwear of the season in places like JMR and The Children's Hour. Here's a sample of the selection at The Children's Hour, also featuring another use for plaid in this year's back-to-school trends.
Messenger bags have come a long way and this tailored bag is a taste of some of the trends local company Ogio is showing off this year.

Rock Hall's Education Manager Discusses Tuesday's Teachers Rock Event
It's hard to watch Girls Rock!, the acclaimed documentary about the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, and not be moved. As a woman, I saw myself – every part of myself – in the girls featured in the movie. As a female musician, I wished that I could have attended a camp like this when I was younger (or now, for that matter). As an educator and former elementary school teacher, I recognized a lot of my students (male and female) in the stories told on-screen. And as a member of the Education staff here at the Rock Hall, I couldn't help but connect the dots between the world of Girls Rock! and the legacy of this year's American Music Masters honoree – Janis Joplin. I realized very quickly that Girls Rock! would be a great way to get teachers to think about and discuss a lot of the complicated issues surrounding teaching in the 21st century – all through the power of rock and roll and the lens of Janis Joplin's life and music.
Yesterday afternoon, as part of our monthly Teachers Rock series, I was joined by over twenty teachers from across Northeast Ohio to do just that. We were lucky enough to be joined by Nancy Boutilier, an area educator and active musician featured in the film. Having worked as a bass teacher and band manager at the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls since 2004, Nancy gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the camp and revealed some of the story behind the story of Girls Rock! And as a high school teacher for fifteen years, Nancy also helped us to recognize the camp-classroom connection. Participating teachers left with resources and lesson plans pulled from our own educational programming here at the Rock Hall, including materials exploring the cultural history of the 1960s and the musical legacy of Janis Joplin.
It seems more than fitting to showcase a film like Girls Rock! as part of our American Music Masters series honoring Janis Joplin. Listening to Joplin sing is an experience – that voice is undeniable (you can read more about Joplin's signature vocal delivery in Jason Hanley's blog post below). Simply put, she was a performer who demanded that she be heard. And her voice spoke to and for a generation of women who struggled to find, and to claim, their own voice – in an industry and a society largely dominated by men. In a way, the Girls Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls owes Janis Joplin a debt of gratitude. I know I do.

Over time social change takes place because older generations die off so that the younger folks who are more open to new ideas have the (political) power. Now that the baby boomers are starting to reach in age are we going to see a massive shift in political opinion within the next 10-20 years?
Also, medicine is increasing the human life span incrementally, and our generation might be the first to live regularly more than a century, or even achieve pseudo-immortality. How will societal change occur?

The mall opens its new wing on Friday, taking full advantage of the memorable 11-11-11 date, and is gearing up for crowds of excited fashionistas, home goods lovers and shopaholics in general.
"The wait is over," says Brooke Whitebread, senior marketing manager at Fashion Place. "We are elated to introduce H&M, Crate and Barrel, The North Face, Bastille, Ann Taylor and LOFT. We know our shoppers will be surprised and delighted by our contemporary look and expanded collection of home and fashion stores just in time for the holidays."
Utah newcomer and fashion hot spot H&M opens its doors at noon Friday, and the first 500 shoppers in line will score an H&M tee shirt and an Access to Fashion Pass, which could ring up to $10 to $500 in shopping money at the store. The neighboring, two-story Crate & Barrel is also making its Utah debut at the event.
To celebrate the grand opening of the new shops and the mall's new 98,000 square foot wing, Fashion Place is hosting a weeklong event beginning Friday through Nov. 18 from 1-3 p.m. The shopping is the obvious draw, but additional draws include prizes — like gifts cards with purchases of $100 or more and a chance to win a $1,111 shopping spree — and performances by local bands and kid-friendly activities like face paining and caricature artists.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Spring/Summer 2010 issue.
During the second Festival Cultural Cuale in January 2010, artist collective La Malagua inaugurated their long-awaited project along Isla Rio Cuale. The first five pieces in the project are intended to reflect the first settlers of Puerto Vallarta, who congregated along the river, as settlers usually do. The existing pieces, ceramic based, are El Puente (The Bridge) by Sergio Martinez, Verde Ser (Being Green) by Yesika Felix, La Ruta de Sal (The Salt Route) by Ireri Topete, Aves Migratorias (Migratory Birds) by Fernando Sanchez and an unnamed piece in memory of Sheila Devine, a founder of the group who passed away in 2009.
Painter and ceramist Toni Guerra advised on technical and conceptual issues during the two-year process that brought this project to fruition, including raising the necessary funds. Funding included a grant from the Consejo Estatal para la Cultura y las Artes that was used to produce a 70-page booklet that includes a photographic record of the development of the murals.
The group plans to expand the exhibit with murals by new artists who share the project's concept and spirit. For more information, visit the Centro Cultural Cuale on the Rio Cuale island or call 223-0095.

- 2013 storm-surge report (PDF - 6845kb)
Report ranks Wilmington No. 7 for risk of storm-surge damage
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 11:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 11:18 a.m.
Nearly 115,000 in the Wilmington area are vulnerable to storm surge damage from hurricanes, earning the Port City a seventh-place ranking among the eastern seaboard's top 10 most threatened cities in a new statistical report.
1. New York, 447,428, $205.7 billion
2. Miami, 239,910, $100.1 billion
3. Virginia Beach, Va., 305,493, $73 billion
4. Tampa, Fla., $301,045, $55 billion
5. New Orleans, 238,919, $43.7 billion
6. Cape Coral, Fla., 198,020, $42.9 billion
7. Wilmington, 114,695, $38.2 billion
8. Naples, Fla., 76,104, $34.5 billion
9. Bradenton, Fla., 138,226, $33.8 billion
10. Charleston, S.C., 81,484, $31.5 billion
1. 28461 (Southport), 12,676, $4.8 billion
2. 28462 (Supply), 12,150, $4.3 billion
3. 28465 (Oak Island), 13,758, $4.1 billion
4. 28469 (Ocean Isle Beach), 8,839, $3.4 billion
5. 28411 (Wilmington), 6,300, $2.7 billion
6. 28409 (Wilmington), 8,701, $2.3 billion
7. 28468 (Sunset Beach), 5,853, $2.1 billion
8. 28470 (South Brunswick), 5,794, $1,9 billion
9. 28422 (Bolivia), 5,109, $1.8 billion
10. 28405 (Wilmington), 3,617, $1.4 billion
The report, compiled by Irvine, Calif.-based analytics company CoreLogic, outlines the number and value of at-risk single-family homes by compiling data on 135.6 million properties, or more than 91 percent of all houses in the country. That information is overlaid with simulations that mimic hurricane conditions, projecting the maximum height and reach of storm surge from each event.
"We don't base it off past events," said Tom Jeffrey, senior hazard scientist at CoreLogic. "We try to produce what we consider to be a full range of storms, and then we simulate where that overland flow is going to go."
The report focuses solely on potential storm surge and flood damage, excluding other common hurricane risks, such as wind. The surges, defined as abnormal water levels above the predicted tides, are often the most destructive part of hurricanes, causing widespread property damage and large death tolls. During Hurricane Katrina, for example, more than 1,500 people lost their lives; a large portion of those casualties occurred as a result of storm surge, according to the National Hurricane Center.
According to the report, 114,695 homes in the Wilmington metropolitan area are threatened by hurricane storm surges, with a total structural value of $38.2 billion. The eastern seaboard's most at-risk location is New York City, with 447,428 vulnerable properties at a total value of $205.7 billion. Miami - 239,910 homes, worth $100.1 billion - is second, one of five Florida cities to place in the top 10.
Prior to this year, the Cape Fear region had never appeared on the list, but the jump may be less related to increased storm hazards than improved real estate data.
"We haven't decided, all of a sudden, that you folks are right in the middle of it. The hazard hasn't really changed," Jeffrey said. "What has changed is our ability to draw and find property parcels. Your real estate numbers bumped up, so you're higher on the list, and it's really because we found where more properties actually exist than we were able to find before."
Mortgage brokers and insurance companies tend to be interested in the report, though the secretive and competitive nature of those industries makes it difficult to gauge how, exactly, it's used. But the data, broken down by ZIP code, also allows homeowners to assess storm surge risk in their specific neighborhoods.
In the Cape Fear region, the collected information encompasses a handful of ZIP codes, stretching from Southport (28461) to Bolivia (28422) to Wilmington (28411, 28409, 28405).
"Some hazards like wildfire - as a homeowner, you can mitigate against those very well. I don't know that you can necessarily mitigate a storm surge or hurricane," Jeffrey said. "You're not going to build a wall around your property. But if you're more aware, you can plan a bit better. If a warning comes, you'll know your risk and you can evacuate sooner."

OK, fine. I get it. We don't live by the ocean. We don't have waves fit for surfing or soft sandy beaches dotted with seaweed or... sharks, but we do have the Great Salt Lake. And thanks to it, we have plenty of options for getting out on the water (and a smelly warning every time it's about to rain.)
If you've never chartered a sailboat onto the lake, this is the year to do it. Stripes, sunhats and sunscreen are trendy this summer, and a nautical adventure would go perfectly with all three.
First, you'll need a boat. Captain JR at Great Salt Lake Experience can hook you and five of your friends up with a day trip or a sunset sail in his 27-foot sailboat, Nauti Girl. Visit the site to schedule your adventure.
You'll also need to look great, because you should look great everywhere you go. Here are a few suggestions to take care of that:
Afternoon Boating Dress, Bohme, $38.50
Band of Outsiders Boat Stripe Top, bastille, $275
Dalliance Sunhat, Anthropologie, $78
Don't forget to take along a few essentials (you know, sunscreen, bottled water, a light jacket, an umbrella in case of rain) in this Tommy Hilfiger rugby stripes tote ($81 at Macy's) and you're set to sail!

In a quest to stay on top of multiplying grays, one can become overzealous with permanent color, layering it on, root to tip, every four to five weeks. The result? Hair that is monochromatic, potentially inky-dark and, as celebrity colorist Rita Hazan likes to say, wiggy. "Very deep color may have looked good in your twenties or thirties, but skin [of all tones] starts to lose pigment after 40, and the contrast between hair and skin becomes stark," Hazan explains. Women with very dark complexions may be able to pull off deep color longer than the fair of face, but eventually everyone benefits from lightening a little. Umberto Savone, a stylist in Los Angeles, points out that even Mother Nature is on board with a bit of brightening. "Gray hair grew in for a reason: to give your face a softer frame," he says. Bottom line? Even if you choose to cover your gray, maintaining the same deep hue you had at 25 is probably not flattering.

Hazan suggests everyone lighten her hair's base color a shade or two—or, at the very least, add some highlights. Not sure if your color falls into the too-dark zone yet? Hazan says to evaluate your makeup. If it doesn't perk up your complexion as well as it once did, then the problem, she asserts, most likely lies with your hair color—not your cosmetics.

Pros agree that indulging in the cut of the month is best left to 16-year-olds, but balking at updates is no good either. Harry Josh, international creative consultant for John Frieda, says keeping a viselike grip on a time-warped cut or color (frosted hair, anyone?) is "the biggest mistake" he sees women make. "It's cute to see retro hairstyles on shows like Mad Men, but this is 2012," he says. Even classic cuts change a bit year to year. The bob, for instance, is freshest today with long, sideswept bangs and light layers.

Looking current is different from looking trendy, says Trey Gillen, a stylist and the owner of Tre Spa in Houston. You can keep pace, he says, with subtle annual changes, such as losing an inch in length or just switching from a stiff-hold hairspray to a lightweight formula. And even if you're positively allergic to trendiness, that doesn't mean you can't experiment. "The number-one thing I hear women say is, 'I can't do that because I'm too old,'" says Amy Huson, a colorist at the Marie Robinson Salon in New York. "They don't realize you can modify trends to suit your age." Hazan agrees and offers this example: If you want to try the ombré effect (darker color on top, lighter on the ends and underneath) but are afraid it's too young for you, keep the contrast between hues fairly subtle—more Jessica Biel or Drew Barrymore than 19-year-old surfer girl.

Colorists concur that it's usually flattering to lighten your hair a bit as you age—and going blonder makes it easier to conceal gray regrowth. However, not every skin tone can handle a white-blonde Kim Novak look. "If you've been brunette your whole life, adding a few blonde pieces to camouflage gray is a good idea," Huson says. But going too light can be as unflattering as going too dark. It will subtract all the warmth from your skin.

Having your colorist weave in warmer lowlights will fight that washed-out look. When choosing the base color, think buttery or honey tones—not too platinum or beige. "Richer, warmer tones will look fresher," Huson says. "Cooler, ashy tones can be aging." Also, if your hair and skin are fairly dark, ease into blondeness with a light-brown base, possibly sprinkled with highlights. (Want a mental picture? Think of Jennifer Lopez or Beyoncé.) That takes the edge off gray and allows you to test going golden. Then, if you like the results, you can go lighter later.

"Nothing looks more vital than healthy, shiny hair," says Julien Farel, eponymous owner of two salons in Manhattan and one in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. But as you age, your hair loses moisture and pigment, making this trait tougher to maintain. Alas, that's not all. "Hair also becomes more porous," says celebrity stylist Frédéric Fekkai, which means it won't lie flat and is harder to keep shiny. The kicker? Porousness makes hair more susceptible to damage from the hot tools we rely on to keep aging hair smooth.

"Just as you have an anti-aging skin-care routine, you need something similar for your hair," says Josh, who suggests choosing formulas that both hydrate (look for ingredients like ceramides and silk) and strengthen (look for protein, aka keratin). You should also boost your regular in-shower conditioning with leave-in formulas and a once-a-week deep-conditioning treatment. Try John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo and Conditioner ($7 each; drugstores), L'Oréal EverCrème Nourishing Leave-In Spray ($9; drugstores) and Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Frizz Defeat Deep Treatment ($6; drugstores). You might consider tweaking your shampoo routine, too. The water in your shower has a neutral pH, which opens the hair's cuticle, stripping moisture, says Fekkai. To combat this effect, he says, shampoo less often (every other day, if possible) and finish your shower with a cold-water rinse to reseal the cuticle. Finally, to minimize damage from hot tools, use a styler that has heat-shielding properties. We like Living Proof Prime Style Extender ($20; sephora.com), which protects from heat—and repels oil and dirt, making infrequent shampooing more realistic.

Weights may improve your shape in the gym, but anything heavy on hair has the opposite effect. Straightening creams, flatirons and relaxers do flatten frizzy hair—but they can also make an aging face look drawn. "Most women focus more on fighting frizz than building body, but if you must choose, it's really more flattering to see some body with a little frizz," says Nunzio Saviano, a stylist for Sharon Dorram Color at the Sally Hershberger salon in Manhattan. Fekkai concurs: "As you age, you should strive for hair that is shiny but, more important, bouncy." In fact, every stylist we talked to agreed that full-bodied hair is like a sip from the fountain of oomph—er, youth. And there's a distinction between "big" hair and full-bodied hair. The latter has movement; it's not heavily teased up to the heavens, says Gillen.
Photo courtesy of Subbotina Anna/Shutterstock
"If you remove some weight from the bottom half of your cut, the hair will be light enough to swing," Savone says. You might also want to skip heavy products such as creams. Fekkai likes mousse, applied to the scalp and followed by an upside-down blow-dry. Then, if you need a quick midday boost, spray dry shampoo just at your roots and finger-tousle. For easier touch-ups, travel with a purse-size bottle such as Oribe Travel Dry Texturizing Spray ($20; neimanmarcus.com).
Photo courtesy of kiuikson/Shutterstock.com
Even if you've been blessed with thick, healthy hair, letting it grow to your rear end isn't flattering. "Hair that's very long and all one length appears heavy—not to mention dated—and drags down your whole look," explains Savone
Photo courtesy of Deklofenak/Shutterstock.com
Start by consulting a trusted stylist to determine whatlongish cut will work for your height and silhouette. For some, that means a shoulder blade–grazing style with layers around the face. For others, it's a long, layered, shoulder-skimming bob. For still others, it's Demi Moore–like locks with sideswept bangs. (Notice no stylist endorses the 'do favored by Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. We loved her, too, but don't go there.) Then, once you've got the right cut, it's imperative to maintain it. Farel says you can go three months (as opposed to six weeks for shorter styles) between salon visits—but don't wait longer than that. "Your stylist is the cheapest surgeon you'll find," he says, because the right cut instantly changes your face, giving you a fresher, lifted appearance.

Since its opening, the Easter Seals Arkansas Grand Prairie Child Development Center in Stuttgart has been serving children from six weeks of age to pre-kindergarten.
Through the years, the center at 1801 N. Buerkle St. has had several things done to ensure the joy for the students, parents and staff of the center.
"Our PTA raised some money this year and paid for an artist, Mallory Schroeder," Barbara Bean, director of the center, said. "She came out and painted some activities on our playground blacktop."
Bean added that Schroeder painted a track, with a globe in the center with numbers around it and two hopscotch areas that the children can ride their tricycles around and learn letters while they ride.
"She painted a rocket ship for the boys and a pretty flower for the girls," Bean said.
Schroeder, a Stuttgart High School graduate and a sophomore at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, said she had never painted a project as she did for the Easter Seals Grand Prairie Child Development Center in Stuttgart.
"I have always painted on canvas, never a project like this," Schroeder said. "I was very pleased with the finish project."
The project was suggested to Schroeder by a friend whose child attends the center and knew about her artistic ability, which could be used on the playground of the center, Schroeder said.
"It took me all week, beginning last Monday and ending Friday," Schroeder said. "From 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m."
Easter Seals Arkansas Grand Prairie Child Development Center in Stuttgart serves 79 children (48 percent with disabilities and 52 percent without disabilities).
The objectives of the center are to:
• Provide a quality, comprehensive curriculum including language, science, math, computer skills training, art and music activities.
• Create jobs in the community.
• Provide an environment to develop positive self-esteem, learning and social skills.
• Train families in literacy activities, parenting skills and developmental milestones.
• Identify and treat children with developmental and/or physical delays.
• Provide physical, occupational and speech therapies.
For more information on the center, contact Bean at (870) 672-7730.

2010 Top 10 Bicycle Commuting Cities
Submitted by David on
The American Community Survey's numbers just came out for bicycle commuting in 2010. Last year, the 2009 number put Boulder No. 1 at 12.3 percent. This year, Boulder dropped to 9.9 percent to No. 2 on the list behind Davis, Calif., at No. 1 with 22.1 percent of its population biking to work. Also in the Front Range the number of people commuting on bikes in Fort Collins dropped from nearly 10 percent in 2009 to about 4.4 percent in 2010.
2010 Top 10 Bicycle Commuting Cities
1) David, Calif. 22.1 percent
2) Boulder 9.9 percent
3) Eugene, Ore. 8.3 percent
4) Berkeley, Calif. 8 percent
5) Cambridge, Mass. 6.8 percent
6) Santa Barbara, Calif. 6.4 percent
7) Madison, Wis. 6 percent
7) Gainesville, Fla. 6 percent
7) Portland, Ore. 6 percent
8) Iowa City, Iowa. 5.6 percent
9) Chico, Fla. 5.5 percent
10) Missoula, Mont. 5.4 percent
How accurate do you think these numbers are? Are there really 9.9% of the Boulder population commuting by bicycle to work? For that matter do you think Davis CA has 22% of its population commuting by bicycle?

Yep, I went to UC Davis. There is not much there except the university and all streets on the UCD campus are closed to cars. It's basically a peleton on campus between 10am and 2pm everyday. Actually a really cool way for univesities to function. It's basically inconvenient to use your car unless you are doing something outside of town.

Lufthansa Highlights Sylt: Pleasure island
A moment ago the day was bright and calm with a gentle breeze rippling the surface of the North Sea. Suddenly the wind stiffens, roaring from the southeast across the land and out to sea in gusts that flatten the trembling pale green grass against the dunes. Within a matter of minutes, gray clouds loom over Listland, darkening the lonely heath landscape. Better find shelter from the rain fast, I think to myself.
Abrupt weather changes like this don't worry people like Randolph Kohns. The tall IT expert from Hanover pushes back his baseball cap, surveys the sky and pronounces confidently: "It will soon pass." He knows what he's talking about, and so he should because Randolph Kohns has been coming to the island of Sylt for over 20 years. A quarter of an hour later, the clouds have disappeared, the sky is clear and blue as if washed clean. This North Frisian island has its own special microclimate, and it's a benevolent one.
Compared with the German mainland, Sylt has less cloud cover, more sunshine and fewer rainy days. I meet Kohns again in the evening, sitting with his wife in Johannes King's Söl'ring Hof in Rantum, one of the two two-star restaurants on Sylt. He likes to indulge in at least one "starry" meal during each visit to the island, as he says. Sometimes he goes to King's, where the master chef presides over an open, country kitchen, greets his guests personally and bids them farewell when they leave.
Other times, Kohns will pay a visit to Jörg Müller in Westerland (one star), who serves a perfect fusion of South German, Mediterranean and North Frisian cuisine; or to Landhaus Stricker in Tinnum, where Holger Bodendorft produces creative Mediterranean fare (one star). Then again, he also has the choice of Alexandro Pape's restaurant in the Fährhaus hotel in Munkmarsch (two stars), where the chef is given to exceptionally exotic compositions, like caramelized duck foie gras and Andalusian sardines, or wild garlic lassi on calamari and potato salad. "To me, this is all part and parcel of Sylt," says Kohns. "Nowhere can you work up an appetite as pleasantly as here while taking long walks through deep sand and watching the waves come rolling in."
So off I trudge again at the end of my opulent dinner. On this bright, moonlit night, I see it for the first time: noctuiluca miliaris, large, planktonic organisms that make the sea glow blue-black. I stand for a long while, gazing out over the glittering waves before heading home. My feet leave gleaming prints in the sand that blur after a few seconds. What a wonderful end to a blustery day: stars on my plate followed by a luminescent sea.
Change of scene. Morsum Cliff a the most easterly point of the island. A centuries-old, violet-brown landscape of heath and pasture, grazing cows and sheep, farms and dikes. The air is pungent with grass and earth, dung and summer flowers. This is the tranquil, mudflat side of the island, where the idyllic villages of Morsum, Archsum and Keitum, with their old and new thatched Frisian houses, crouch behind stone walls overgrown with grass.
The Petersens are a family of ship owners from Hamburg, who have an old holiday home in Keitum, which the grandfather bought back in the early 1960s. Three generations have spent their summer vacation here since then, at least four weeks at a stretch. "Everyone knows everyone – even though we only come once or twice a year," says Ulrich Petersen. "Our parents like it here and our children still do. Why go anywhere else?"
From Keitum, it's just three kilometers to Munkmarsch, where the ferries from the mainland used to tie up before the Hindenburgdamm causeway was built, and visitors would continue on to Westerland aboard the island train. Sailboats rock in the blue-green waters of tiny Munkmarsch harbor, flags flap, steel halyards knock against masts and gulls screech for all they are worth.
As I cast my eye over the shimmering mudflats, the words of author Ludwig Harig come to mind: "On the island of Sylt, nothing is as one knows it. There are windy days with rain, windy days without rain, misty days, foggy days, days filled with sunshine; but one always has the feeling that the rain is rainier, the mist mistier, and the fog foggier than anywhere else, and that when the sun shines, it's sunnier here than the sunniest place in the world."

ZF-1795: Corrupted Attachments
I am having troubled with attachments when sending to AT&T (Cingular) MM3 Email-to-MMS gateway via SMTP. Unfortunately the gateway's software is a black box to me, but the result that it "removed corrupted mime part image/jpeg".
$mail->createAttachment($data['image'], 'image/jpeg', Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE, Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64, $message->id."-img.jpg");
$data['image'] is the result of imagejpeg().
All this works really well with PEAR::Mail. I have played around with changing line end characters and changing the line length, but it does not solve anything.
Mail.app on Mac and Outlook on Windows can read the attachments, but when I save it from Exchange Webmail, it seems a little corrupted too (maybe because that front-end is not that smart to correct errors.)
Something seems fishy in Zend_Mime or Zend_Mail_Smtp and I cannot figure it out.
Assigning to [~matthew] to initiate issue review.
Assigning to Nico
The problem seems to occur not always but rather sporadically. Unfortunately I cannot say under which circumstances the attachment gets corrupted. When I run the very same code several times, most of the times everything works as expected, but sometimes the attachment is broken. Hope this helps.
Fixed with r12343. Changed linelength to 72 to be compatible with other mailers.
Seems to be related to ZF-4360 and ZF-4169. Feel free to reopen if it is not fixed for your environment.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Logo Use Guidelines and Waiver of Liability FormThe logo for the Conference [short: Rio+20 logo] was designed by the Graphic Design Unit of the United Nations Department of Public Information in New York. The logo shows the three components of sustainable development ? social equity, economic growth and environmental protection ? connected in the shape of a globe. The three colours blend into each other, indicating the interconnectedness of the different components. The words "United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development" appear below the logo, together with the informal name of the event, "Rio+20". The Rio+20 logo is available in the six official United Nations languages: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Chinese; as well as in Portuguese. Stakeholders are encouraged to translate the text into other languages, but shall state clearly that they are solely responsible for the accuracy of the translation. They should further acknowledge that the United Nations shall not assume any responsibility or liability arising from the translated text. Any non-UN entity wishing to use the Rio+20 logo for information and or fund-raising purposes must submit a signed waiver of liability form to the Rio+20 Secretariat via email to email@example.com.

The year is 2212, and Earth is in danger. After World War IV, our environment has deteriorated to such an extent that people must wear masks when they venture outdoors. The southern hemisphere and most of the Middle East, Africa and Asia is uninhabitable. Plant and animal life has nearly ceased to exist. At the behest of Global Society, scientists have combed the Universe for a suitable home for our dying race, and finally one has been found: Chel'Dara
A space station is formed on a far off planet which is inhabited by a race of people quite like us, and the chosen name is simply Hope. The planet has a similar climate to earth, though it does run a little more tropical and an identical atmosphere. Large lizards and fantastic creatures inhabit the lush forests thus far discovered. Untold new species await discovery, and unimaginable danger. Many of the plants are poisonous or carnivorous in completely exotic ways, and needless to point out how similar these animals are to dinosaurs.
Now that the area immediately surrounding the Station is secure, Earth is sending another group of citizens, soldiers and scientists. As a member of the second wave of humans sent to Hope, it is your job to explore the planet and answer an important riddle: Why is this species so like us? Their DNA is a 97% match to modern man. How is it that two planets on opposite sides of the universe have such a similar people?
The Natives and the Planet:
With the hot pink sky and brilliant red sun glaring down, the Hel'Dra people have one major difference from humanity: Their skin. Some are extremely pale lavender, nearly white, some have a greenish tint, and some are a deep, glossy purple. Some few have white skin with purple streaks running over their bodies. One of the first soldiers to spot them commented that they look not at all unlike ripening eggplants. Their eyes tend to be bright jewel colors, and they can see extremely well at night. Without these few exceptions, they are very like humans.
Once called Planet 4 in Solar System 451b in the Cygnus Sector of Section 11 of the known Universe, it's native people call their home Chel'Dara and they are the Hel'Dar but more often they call themselves 'the People.' They are a simple, peaceful race with strong laws against bringing any harm to one another. They have no concept of money, or war. In fact, there is no word for war in their language. Some tribes wander from settlement to settlement, and others choose to farm or herd animals. They survive by trading fairly with one another and treating each member of society equally. Each settlement has a leader chosen by the Elders who are their supreme leaders. They trust in the Elders completely, and have never had reason to question their judgment or their word.
High on the slopes of the Mountain Algol is a stone fortress. The people claim it has always been there. They think maybe the gods built it for the Elders, or maybe the Elders built it. They don't know. It is the place of the Elders, and very few have ever ventured to it's gates.
When the first shuttle planted it's landing feet on the soil of Chel'Dara, the people knew not what to make of it. They ran in fear to their Elders, informing them that the gods had come.
Little else is known, for though the language barrier has been broken (the natives learning to speak ours) they have shut down communication with us.
Orange dots on the map indicate safepoints established when the territory was originally mapped. Many streams run through the entire area, not all are mapped. Springs and streams pop up seamingly overnight, and disappear as quickly. The ground itself is wet to the touch, even away from the swamps. The air is thick with moisture.
The first station set down near a very deep source of fresh water for easy filtration. It has a secure perimeter established, a fence erected around the entrance with local wood. The second station was planted just across the water source from the first. They rest around 5 miles apart.
A small camp was established around 25 miles from the first station, it is mostly unstocked and used as a base for research.
4 years before the first station arrived, a pod was sent containing two astronauts and enough supplies to sustain them until the expected arrival of the expedition. It returned reports of a habitable environment, but they soon ceased to transmit. The approximate location of said pod is marked on the map, but it has not been excavated. The men have not been heard from in over three years, the pod seemingly abandoned.
The Mission:
1.) We must establish friendship with the hostiles through any means necessary. (The natives are an untapped resource, capable of providing us with valuable information which would help immensely as we move more of our people to their planet.)
2.) We must harvest as many details as possible and secure a strip of land for development.
3.) We must identify, label and name as many new species as possible to better hope to combat them without damaging the environment or risking extinction.
Playable Classes:
Enlisted Personnel:
Infantry Leader (one needed)
Medic Soldier (one needed)
Gunner Soldier (unlimited)
Electrician (one needed)
Mechanic (one needed)
Cook (one needed)
Pilot (one needed)
Scientist (one needed)
Diplomatic Envoy Native Assessment Specialist (one needed)
If you have an idea for a helpful native that you would like to play, I am open to suggestions. For the most part, I think that they will be NPCs. If you are set on playing a native, perhaps you could play one hired to be a guide, or one that was captured and interrogated by our people, and you are only released when the new envoy arrived.
Character Sheet:
General Appearance: (Image or Description)
Additional Details: Optional. (Anything else you care to include goes here.)
1. Any underhanded tricks against each other should be discussed via PM to keep things fair and fun. Against NPC enemies, anything goes.
2. No power playing, god-like abilities, metagaming, godmodding or similar tomfoolery.
3. J R R Tolkien isn't expected, but please try to be literate.
4. Players must be considerate and courteous to other players at all times, if you want to argue take it to the PMs please.
5. I will be the final judge of what is and is not acceptable in the RP, to eliminate disputes and whatnot.
6. I have no problem with people acting on their own initiative, but for more important things, like adding potentially plot important landmarks, run it past me please.
7. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, or to send me a PM. I'm always open to suggestions as well.
8. Regarding Character Creation: I'll PM you if there's any changes I'd like to discuss with you about your character to keep with the theme of the RP.
Oh, and one other thing:
You aren't going back. For whatever reason, you were sent to Hope and there you will remain until your death. It is your duty to your race to gather information and send it back to Earth for the survival of mankind. Your scars and secrets are your own, if you choose to share your reason for exploring space immediately, that is on you. If you plan to revolt, escape, run away, or fulfill your role to the best of your abilities, that is your choice.

Police were alerted to a reckless driver on Bay Road near Frederica on Wednesday, but could not stop the man before he caused a crash that injured a Felton woman and her grandson.
Emergency dispatchers received a report of a 2002 Honda Odyssey swerving across the lanes of southbound Bay Road, near the twin bridges that cross the Murderkill River east of Frederica, just minutes before the minivan slammed into a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara carrying a 55-year-old Felton woman and her 9-year-old grandson, according to a Delaware State Police spokesman.
Police said the Suzuki was stopped in the crossover, waiting to turn onto northbound South Frederica Road about 7:50 p.m. when the minivan, driven by 30-year-old Milton resident Michael N. Lopez, swerved onto the grass median and into the passenger side of the SUV.
The impact spun the SUV and pushed it partially into the left lane of Bay Road.
The driver, Debra J. Williams, and her grandson were later taken to Milford Memorial Hospital, where they both were treated for non-life-threatening wounds, police said.
Lopez, who was not injured in the crash, attempted to flee the scene, but was stopped by troopers about a quarter-mile away on South Frederica Road, police said.
He is charged with driving under the influence of drugs, driving on a suspended or revoked license, two counts of vehicular assault and possession of 3.2 grams of marijuana.
He later was released after posting a $5,000 secured bail.

Did this year's USA Pro Challenge lack something?
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
It was a good tour, good exchange of yellow jerseys, some Colorado locals showing their better side and if it rolled through your town you probably loved it even if the crowds were not as be as expected. But was it lacking an uphill mountain route in the Front Range that could have brought more accessibility to the crowds? Sure there was the Vail TT but few, including myself, have the ability to leave a day from work to partake in the stage. Was the lacking of a Lookout Mountain route or Flagstaff finish a opportunity loss for the tour?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Last year's edition was a success because the course was designed so that the race would go down to the wire, which it did. This year the queen stage was on a Thursday, four hours roundtrip from Denver. The race was decided by Friday afternoon thus making the weekend stages--the ones in the major population centers--superfluous and predictable.
Also people love the stars and to the credit of the race it has been able to attract a handful of major international names each of the past couple years. This year we had Sagan and a very off-form Froome & Porte. Balance that against the diminished enthusiasm many might feel toward some of the erstwhile domestic fan favorites (AKA "the confessed") and cycling in general and it would actually appear the attendance was pretty good, all considered.

It's all well and good that a bunch of unemployed/underemployed CO residents or folks who could get a day off from work went to watch the races. The attendance the event really needs is those who travel from out of state and who spend money in local hotels/restaurants while here. The locals, and their money, don't count.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
An uphill finish (for a road stage) would be nice. Why not add something really special for next year, such as a mountain top finish on Pikes Peak or Mount Evans? Have the finish ceremony in COSprings or BergenPark/IdahoSprings, respectively, if it would make cities more likely to submit a bid. The Flagstaff finish was cool, but really, it wasn't that long and left out the best parts of the the hill.
Excepting additions like the Bachelor's Gulch climb, in my opinion, the route is getting stale. Yes, I know the riders make the race, and certain towns' motivation to submit an attractive bid affects the reality of economically viable routes. However, even within the Aspen/Vail/Breck/Steamboat rough outline, there are more imaginative (difficult) ways to string together ~120 miles. CO9 between Silverthorne and Kremmling isn't very scenic nor selective.

I would love to see Steamboat to Ft Collins. Start on Rabbit Ears, thru North Prk, Walden, over to the Poudre, 50 miles of DH, and end up Stove Prairie, to the back of Rist canyon for a leg breaker finish. 160+ miles with + 10,000 ft of climbing.

It lacked television coverage! I'm at work between 2 and 5pm; that was the only time the race was on TV. Last year it was replayed again later and you could watch in the evening. I would have watched every stage if it had been on TV in primetime; instead I didn't pay attention AT ALL this year.

The only people willing to record this with a DVR are already cycling afficionados. If the race organizers intend to increase interest among the general public, coverage should be easier to view in prime time.

Do you need a kick in your…..Social Media? If you answered yes then you should attend one of the upcoming Social Media Bootcamps travelling around the province. Victoria BC is very lucky as every May brings not only incredible floral displays but the equally visually stimulating Social Media Camp. This has become the largest social media event in Canada! But wait, there's more…..
The guys behind this great event (Chris & Paul – their country album will be released next summer) have also put together a number of one-day workshops in select cities during the fall.
Anyone and everyone who needs, likes or just has to use Social Media should try to make it to Social Media Camp in May. Of course the organizers realize that there are folks who just can't attend the big conference because they must attend their mother in-laws' birthday (been there). Well for all of you they have taken the show on the road and these one day bootcamps will give you access to some of the great knowledge and training that Social Media Camp offers. (more…)

A 53-year-old woman was arrested Saturday after allegedly grabbing a nurse at Milford Memorial Hospital.
Susan Giroso of Ellendale reportedly became enraged when a family member being treated at the hospital on West Clarke Avenue was about to be discharged.
Milford Police Department spokesman Detective Dwight Young said Giroso grabbed the 37-year-old nurse and dragged her into a hallway while demanding to speak to a doctor.
Giroso let go of the nurse when hospital security arrived, he said.
She later was issued a criminal summons charging her with offensive touching and released.
