A fun, but cold weekend is in store. Let's look at some of the best entertainment options.
Starting Thursday night, head for the Urban Lounge to hear artsy garage rockers Gringo Star from Atlanta as they headline a triple bill. The Shrine, along with Daisy & The Moonshines open up the 10 p.m. concert. Eight dollar tickets are available at 24tix.com.
Judas Priest offers up their old-school British metal - supposedly for the last time locally - at the Maverik Center. Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde opens up along with a band making a dubious claim to being Thin Lizzy. All things told, it's actually fun chance to hear some old school metal. One can do worse on a gloomy Friday night. Get a load of this one ... It's still a killer. http://youtu.be/8cmefZ8aeZ8
Saturday night offers a relatively rare chance to see blues-rock guitarist Rich Robinson of Black Crowes fame in a small gig at The State Room. Dylan LeBlanc, a singer-songwriter who's been generating a lot of buzz opens the evening at 9 p.m. Also, Robinson's been treating audiences to cool covers of artists like Neil Young and Gram Parsons. That should also help make for a fun Saturday night. It's one show I've been looking forward to for awhile. Tickets remain on sale. Check out "Yesterday," right here: http://youtu.be/2PHfpyDkTVM
Another cool option Saturday night is when quirky rockers They Might Be Giants play at The Depot. No way this won't be a good gig. Tickets are still available and start at $22.
Cool sounds, right here from TMBG: http://youtu.be/NAbZzdalZh4
And don't forget the Beethoven countdown continues this weekend with chances Friday and Saturday to hear the Seventh Symphony. Also, a Lizst concerto is on the bill, which means some terrific piano playing will also be highlighted. Tickets start at $17 and remain on sale for both nights.

CL I took you under my wing and am grooming you for taking my place years from now. You used to be an absolutely awful newb, but you have become very tolerable and really quite good for your age. Now it is time for formal lessons, I will add a new one whenever I see you doing something gay.
Lesson One:
Smilies with =
ex =) =D =(
you do this a lot. stop. it makes you look like a cunt.
= smilies are appropriate for the following:
extremely feminine men
Eve can do it, Peeki can do it(he likes cats), Hats can do it(hes gay), and thats about it. You cannot do it. Start doing normal smilies or you'll look like a loser. You have no idea how much credibility is taken away from a post with those kinds of smilies in them. Work on it.
Lesson One has ended. Use this wisdom wisely, CL.

I feel as though I am being bombarded with references.
I feel as though I am being bombarded with references.
Because I like you:
Just a few helpful tips:
Avoid pissing off Dogar or Rayne. They are rather...nasty when aggrevated. This can be done by spamming, typical assholery, questioning their idea of "elite", questioning Dogar's sexual performance, and confusing India with the Middle East.
Everyone else is rather calm, although God can be a sleeping giant. Qoorl is our country boy, Nyrisis is his shotgun wife (who happens to be a pretty gregarious individual), Rayne is our opinionated Indian prince, God is our fearless ginger leader, Dogar is our quirky Hugh Heffner, Kirby is the Rosetta Stone of Pokemon, Hicky is our intellectual, Henri is hardcore, Trixie is an Indian princess (not exactly), Lord is our Irish arse, King is our Charles II, Seven is a tramp and anyone else I cannot remember is included but not very important or active.
Oh, and if Dogar, Rayne, Lord or God get on you about "constructive/good" posting, just ignore it unless you are being a general dick. Yeah.
Kirby are u gay?
im sorry im sorry i mean do u like alaskan mussy manglers?
What the Blood Vagina Fuck is going on? Y'all havin a party and didn't invite me?
Can't believe I Missed THIS individuals Grand Arrival...
He seems like a complicated individual.
you niggas r gay
I am offended that you would think I was black AND homosexual.
Although I will consider the former a "big penis" compliment.
you sir use a dick enlarger just like austin powers. u and ur penis pump.
I am tout naturel you dickless twat.
u like u some all american ground beef down ur throat with a shovel. u sir can go to hell.
I will not support your shit fetish.
what? u saying im a dick sucker. get on ur knees yea whos a queer now. obeying my commands like a black.
I did not realize you wanted grown men to suckle upon your tiny penis. What? You want to feel the excitement of my beard hairs tickling your sack? No sir! Go buy your cheap whores and alcohol, you brainless neanderthal.
On second thought, you can ask Justin if you can suck his dick.
hey at least they know where my wallet is at. u sir a turd. screw u guys im goin home.
Would violent sex repair our friendship?
I could probably work this out...
All the best of luck to you my friends, this thread is a little TOO homoerotic for my Southern Sensibilities.

Danielle Verzone
From fashion merchandiser to artisanal chocolatier
Danielle Verzone, 52, used to live for warm, sunny weather, but on this June morning she's praying that the day will stay cloudy. She's at a farmers' market in Scituate, Massachusetts, selling her handmade chocolates, and while most of the batch is stored in a cooler, the ones on display will be ruined if it turns hot or humid. Laid out in boxes trailing silky, lime-green ribbon, they have names like Basil Infusion and Sesame Truffle.
A bubbly woman stops to buy Verzone's latest creation, Vernal Refresh: $8 for a box of four chocolates, $22 for 12. The ingredients for the various flavors—strawberry, mint, lavender, honey—all come from either a nearby farm or Verzone's own backyard. "I'm the superstar of my family after sending them your chocolates for Christmas," says the shopper. Word-of-mouth raves like this account for much of the success of Verzone's business, Sirenetta Seaside Chocolatier (sirenettachocolatier.com). Launched out of her Scituate home in November 2009, the company turned a profit in its second year, and revenues have increased steadily since then.
Only three years ago, Verzone was spending four hours a day commuting to her job as a merchandise planner for a Boston fashion company. Away from home for 12 hours at a stretch, she felt like a stranger in her own town. "The only upside," she says, "was that I knew so few people, I could go to the grocery store looking like hell!" She wanted a more balanced life, one more connected to her community, but couldn't see how to make it happen. Then, in August 2009, as her 49th birthday loomed, she was laid off. On her last day in the office, she got a mass e-mail from her favorite confectioner, L.A. Burdick Chocolate. "They were hosting a chocolate-making class the following week in New Hampshire," she says. Verzone loved to cook—and had always wanted to have her own business, though she'd never thought of an idea that was good enough—so she signed up.
She enjoyed the course so much that she went home determined to become a professional chocolatier. But first she had to master some complicated science. "There was more chemistry involved than I'd realized," she says. "But I knew if I put my mind to it, I'd succeed." It took her a week to master tempering, the precise melting and cooling technique that gives chocolate its glossy appeal and snap. "My husband told me it was wonderful to watch me become the person I was meant to be," says Verzone. That was all the validation she needed. With $12,000 from her severance package, she secured the necessary permits and bought ingredients, boxes and ribbons. She enlisted her husband, a marketing executive, to design the logo and set up a website. In September she took an online course with Ecole Chocolat, a renowned chocolatier in Vancouver, to learn about the business side. When she discovered that professional confectioners pull in 80 percent of their income between Thanksgiving and Christmas, she knew she had to launch immediately.
"I worked from 7 am to midnight seven days a week during the four weeks before Christmas," says Verzone. When she wasn't making chocolates, she was selling them. A friend invited Verzone to set up a booth at a support-our-artisans party. "It was my first time bringing my chocolates to the public, and I was a wreck," she says. "Then a woman came by and tasted a sample of the limoncello flavor. She closed her eyes, savored it carefully and said, 'Oh my, this is incredible. May I sit down so I can hear all about your business?' She gave me the confidence I needed."
Verzone received about 25 orders that night. And she got hooked into the local circuit of holiday fairs. By May 2010 she was heading for her first farmers' market, and in 2012 she logged 120 stints at markets along Massachusetts' southern shore. She nets $20,000 to $30,000 a year, with about a third coming from corporate gift orders for the Christmas season.
Verzone's days still begin at 5 am, when she takes her dog, Isabella, for a walk on the beach. Back in her kitchen by 6:30, she lays out slabs of ganache that have been allowed to set for 48 hours and cuts them into smooth cubes that will become the rich, creamy centers of her chocolates. Each batch of ganache is infused with a puree of flavors—for example, blueberries and hyssop, an aromatic herb that grows in Verzone's garden. Later in the morning, she dips each cube into molten chocolate.
She has no employees, although her husband manages her website ("He gets paid in chocolates," she says). She works six days a week—three days at the stove, three at markets. "But the work doesn't feel as time pressured as it used to," she says. "I can take a break to walk the dog or pick blueberries." On market days, she has time to chat and get to know her customers. And she's nestled into her community. She's helped Girl Scouts earn their candy-making badges, and when she develops a new recipe, neighbors taste-test the results for her. There's just one downside to her success. "I have to put on mascara when I go to the grocery store," she says. "Now I actually know people!"
Laurie Gutstein
From radiologist to Calamondin-cake queen
Very Florida, a little whimsical and all handmade: That's the vibe Laurie Gutstein, 52, was going for when she exhibited at her first Fancy Food Show in Washington, D.C., in June. The biannual trade show for specialty food products is a big deal for food producers like Gutstein and attracts more than 17,000 people from all over the world. Gutstein was dressed for the three-day event in a head-to-toe orange outfit. Like her company's aprons, tablecloths and banner, her clothes were chosen to match the color of the product she was promoting: calamondin, the tiny, prized citrus at the center of her three-and-a-half-year-old business, now called Calamondin Café (calamondincafe.com). The flavor is like a blend of kumquat, tangerine and yuzu, she told visitors, offering them samples of a pound cake laced with calamondin puree.
Gutstein first encountered the rare fruit more than 20 years ago, in Florida, where her father and his friend Jack Spencer had planted calamondin trees in their gardens. Spencer made jam from the fruit and gave the recipe to Gutstein's dad, who started making it for friends and relatives. Four years ago, Gutstein took over the family jam-making tradition, and for an Independence Day party in 2008, she baked the fruit into a cake, following a recipe that Spencer's wife had created. "My friend Mary Lou took a few bites and gave me a where-has-this-been-all-my-life look. She liked it so much, she said I should start a business," says Gutstein. "I decided she was right. You couldn't buy calamondin cake or jam anywhere."
Gutstein began researching the fruit between her shifts as a diagnostic teleradiologist (she works from home, analyzing medical X-rays transmitted over the Internet). She envisioned selling her cakes and the fresh fruit around the country. "But all citrus that leaves Florida must be dipped in a fungicide," she says. "Since the peel is used in cooking, I wasn't comfortable doing that." It didn't help that the fruit is so delicate, ithas to be hand-harvested with a pair of scissors. Gutstein decided to focus on growing calamondin to use in her cakes. In May 2009 she hired workers and planted 22 saplings on land she owned near her home, in Fort Myers. In the ensuing months, she tweaked the cake recipe more than 30 times. "I gave out samples to friends, my accountant, my bank manager," she says. "They all gave me 'the look.' " Encouraged by their responses, Gutstein, who is single, plowed "several years of pension contributions" into gearing up for business.
Since then, she's had her share of nightmare moments. In December 2009 she decided to expand her calamondin grove by planting seeds instead of buying expensive saplings from a nursery. "I believed I'd done my homework with the USDA and the Florida Department of Agriculture and was told time and again that calamondins are not regulated," she says. "But it turns out their propagation is heavily regulated." To avoid the possibility of contaminating commercial trees with diseases lurking in backyard trees, calamondin seedlings may be grown only in licensed citrus propagation nurseries. "We had 1,077 beautiful healthy seedlings, some bearing fruit," she recalls. They all had to be destroyed. "It was like watching your cat get run over by a truck."
Despite the setback, Gutstein started selling her first cakes online in November 2011. With about $20,000 in sales to date and six employees—to manage the grove, handle sales, bake and pack—she expects to turn a profit in mid-2014. This fall she's launching a calamondin coulis. "When the Whole Foods people sampled it at the food show, they said, 'You won't be able to make enough of this,' " Gutstein recalls. She still puts in five eight- to nine-hour shifts reading medical X-rays every week. "Radiology pays for my passion," she says. "A friend once said to me, 'Ask yourself if you have 10 years to give to your venture. If your answer is no, then find your happiness doing something else.' " For now, her answer is yes.

Lucy Gibney, MD, 49
From emergency room physician to president and CEO of Dr. Lucy's LLC
More than the panic and drama, it's the awful sound that Lucy Gibney remembers most clearly. It's 2 p.m. on Easter Sunday, April 13, 2004, and Gibney is in the kitchen of her home in Norfolk, Virginia. In the next room, her husband, Paul, is offering their four-month-old son bottled formula for the first time. Gibney listens, ears keen. A few seconds after the formula hits the infant's mouth, she hears the high-pitched wheezing sounds characteristic of stridor—inflammation and swelling around the vocal chords brought on by an allergic reaction. "Thankfully, I recognized the symptoms quickly, and we rushed him to the hospital," says Gibney, who, like her husband, is an emergency room doctor.
Little Colin's reaction to the formula was so traumatic that Gibney had him tested for other food allergies. Wheat, barley, milk, eggs and all nuts came up. He would not be able to eat most commercially available cookies and cakes, and she discovered that those he could safely eat tasted terrible. "Think about the social aspects of eating: play dates, birthday parties," she says. "I didn't want my son to be the outcast toting around an ugly, sawdust cookie." So Gibney set out to bake her own treats. "I have baked all my life, and my mom was a phenomenal baker," she says. At first, most of her cookies ended up in the trash. "A huge turning point came when I applied the tricks I learned about baking without egg or wheat to my mom's old recipes," she says. After a month, her creations tasted so good that "Paul had his hand in the cookie jar all the time. He kept saying I should start a business. I thought he was joking."
He wasn't. So Gibney decided to research the number of people who have food allergies or are vegan or kosher. "It was very obvious to me then that there was a huge market," she says. "We talked to an attorney, an accountant, people we knew locally who were in the food industry. We attended the Specialty Food Trade show, where we each took courses to learn how to launch a business. We were staying in a hotel, and every morning we would go down to this little café and have breakfast and talk about what we were learning and review our data. One morning, we just sat there and said, 'OK, we're going to do it. Let's go for it.' "
The couple took out a $250,000 loan, collateralized by their home equity, to build and staff a 2,500-square-foot commercial kitchen in Norfolk, Virginia. Home food production for commercial sale isn't legal in Norfolk, and she knew that in order to make the numbers work, she'd have to sell in large quantities nationwide. She quit her ER job, and with one part-time employee (two more joined months later) she brought her first Dr. Lucy's cookies to market in November 2007: chocolate chip, cinnamon, oatmeal and sugar cookies.
Paul, still working his ER job, led the sales efforts, and they quickly got into local natural-food stores and 35 stores that are part of a grocery chain. By September 2008, Whole Foods mid-Atlantic stores were stocking Lucy's cookies (drlucys.com).
Then the economic downturn hit. Gibney had moved to a larger, 12,000-square-foot baking facility to keep up with demand and expanded her staff to 20, and she struggled to cover the higher overhead. "We filled out those awful personal credit card offers that come in the mail," she says, and began looking for private investors. Worst of all, they had to lay off three of their employees. "That was the hardest thing I've ever done," she says. "But we were succeeding. We'd get emails and phone calls from people saying, 'Thank you so much! These cookies are so good, and my child loves them.' "
Finally, in July 2011, Gibney made a deal with private investors. Paul has stepped back from the business. "He misses it, but he was getting worn out, and we didn't want to have all of our earnings coming from one source," says Gibney. Their staff has grown to 36, and she expects gross sales in 2012 to reach $5 million. Recently, Dr. Lucy's products received a glowing review from a food blogger, Junk Food Guy. "Thank you," he wrote. "You made me believe that gluten-free CAN still be indulgent."

I haven't tried it myself (yet) but sounds interesting. I think a simulation like this would be quite interesting but might also make unncessarily you paranoid about zombies devouring the earth. Also, I wonder if the novelty would wear off after a while and the imminent danger might not seem so pressing.

The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is the U.S. agency tasked with collecting taxes.
Expanded Definition
Contrary to popular myth, the income tax and the IRS are constitutional. That's what happens when you have your own constitutional amendment authorizing you. Nobody likes them though, so we should be able to get rid of that amendment.
The 16th Amendment, ratified in 1913, is concise: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
According to information on the IRS website, President Lincoln and Congress created an income tax in 1862 to help pay for the Civil War. The income tax was repealed a decade later, then revived n 1894. But the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1895.
Then came the 16th Amendment. In 1913, the first Form 1040 appeared after Congress levied a 1 percent tax on net personal incomes above $3,000 with a 6 percent surtax on incomes of more than $500,000.
The IRS is part of the federal Department of Treasury.

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
Use Aspergillus molecular techniques to ascertain genotypic variation of native Aspergillus use methodologies to track the success of introduced biocontrol strains. Apply techniques to assess efficacy of competitiveness and establishment of K49 when introduced as a bioplastic formulation.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
The USDA lab will conduct field trials, isolate and purify representative Aspergillus isolates from soil, corn and other sources. The cooperator will develop genotyping methods to ascertain biotypes of A. flavus present in these populations and use these methods to ascertain the source (Soil, insect or air) of Aspergillus present in infested corn grain. In other studies the ARS will establish field and greenhouse studies to assess the potential for biological control strain K49 to competitively displace toxigenic strains of Aspergillus from soil and corn grain. These studies will establish the efficacy of K49 when applied as various formulations e.g., bioplastic granules.

ZF-3984: connection control not sufficient in case of "Too many open links".
On Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php, around line 302 :
@$this->_connection = new mysqli(
if ($this->_connection === false || mysqli_connect_errno()) {
I'm using this, but I'm using too many links at the same time (the error that mysqlclient is returning is "Too many open links". BUT $this->_connection is not false (new mysqli() is returning mysqli Object ( ) as if everything was OK), and mysqli_connect_errno() does not return anything.
There should be a better control to check whether the connection is absolutely perfect or not. I personnaly think that this may be a PHP bug (new mysqli() should return false), but I posted it here in case.
php.ini config, related to Mysqli : [mysqli] mysqli.max_links = 3 mysqli.reconnect = On
I made some additional tests.
When the connection is OK, new mysqli() is returning a mysqli Object(). When the error appears, the same object is returned, but cannot be used. Example :
real_escape_string() [function.mysqli-real-escape-string]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli.php on line 114
I can confirm this issue at least on PHP 5.2.6 / Linux. As you said it happens only when the connection is not effective (failed because database not reachable, invalid login...). I don't agree with you on the fact that this is probably a PHP MySQLi related issue.
The problem is that when calling Zend_Db_Adapter_MySQLi::_connect(), we forget to unset the problematic mysqli object, let's see in ZF1.7.1 ::
if ($this->_connection === false || mysqli_connect_errno()) {
require_once 'Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli_Exception(mysqli_connect_error());
Patched version
if ($this->_connection === false || mysqli_connect_errno()) {
// THE connection error was given with mysqli_connect_errno, the value of $this->_connection is a "invalid" mysqli object. So I reset it
$this->_connection = false;
require_once 'Zend/Db/Adapter/Mysqli/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Db_Adapter_Mysqli_Exception(mysqli_connect_error());
I'll post a separate bug report for this issue, hope this solution works
Is this still active? The description seems to be outdated.

ZF-11886: removeDecorators(array)
I suggest on Zend_Form_Element a removeDecorators(array), actually we just have removeDecorator(string), if i want to remove more than one i have to recall the function few times.
Wouldn't it just make sense to use setDecorators at that point. This would probably just complicate things. Especially how would you remove particular decorators that cannot be referred to by their decorator name, (since they have been used twice).
a decorator can be always referred by name, the question is in case i have for example 50 decorators, and i don't want 2 of those, instead make a setDecorators() with a lot of params (or something like), i just remove those 2 with removeDecorators(array('foo', 'bar')).

Sade's new 2xCD compilation The Ultimate Collection is finally available today, including four new tracks. She's also kicking off her US tour with John Legend in mid-June – see a full list of tour dates here. This video from the World Tour kick off in France shows a little bit of what we can expect from a live performance, and it's got us pretty psyched.

Pata de CabraPungent, tangy, aromatic and shaped like the leg of the animal whose milk it is made with. Yum! A washed-rind variety made in very small quantities. When young, it is fruity and refined with a robust ''kick'' at the finish. With a little extra age, it becomes more pungent and powerful. Read More

Industries get varied treatments

If you want to open a coal mine or drill an oil well in an area where certain types of rare fish or other endangered wildlife live, be prepared to be told you will have to change your plans....
Obama acts red and puts people b4 animals but still gets the MDN bash? If you want bad behavior--punish good behavior. Coal attacked the Pres. profusely when he ran for office. They were not honest then and are getting spanked now--one lump at a time.

Bengazi news shouted for years that ethonol would not survive without a subsidy. The subsidy is gone and ethonol is doing fine. Oil gets subsidies and protection of their overseas business by the U.S. military. I can't quench my thirst or bathe with an eagle--but clean water is a whole nother story. When, if ever oil and coal, become truthful, I will listen. The future of energy is with flowing water, wind and the sun in part because they are clean and free.

Eagles are a drop in the bucket. When CaNada geese fly towards a wind towers they all follow in a v formation and the slaughter really behind. The numbers of dead birds are far higher than any study reports.

Shall we go?
As I mentioned in this space earlier this week, one of the better contemporary touring options on the alt-country scene hits Salt Lake City in the person of up-and-coming troubadour Justin Townes Earle. Opening is Dawn Landes. Show starts at 8. It's a sell-out, but if you really want in, there are almost always a few tickets to be located around show time at The State Room. (And speaking of The State Room, Saturday night's soiree with The Mother Hips has been postponed due a family issue for one of the band members.)
Friday brings some wildly different options including "Bravo Broadway, The Wicked Divas" at Abravnel. This run-through of recent Broadway show-stoppers will be an entertaining diversion. Pops conductor Jerry Steichen will preside and vocals will be provided by guest artists Stephanie J. Block and Julia Murney.
A very different option is at The State Room on Friday as PechaKucha is on tap. The one-of-a-kind gathering gives presenters 6 minutes and 40 seconds to run through a slideshow. It's designed to impress and inspire. Architects and photographers are the usual suspects at these events. Intrigued? Ditto.
However, the heavyweight temptation Friday is to drop everything and head for The Depot to see Public Enemy. It's a pity that because of a strange, misogynist VH1 show many younger people are likely more familiar with the name Flava Flav than that of Chuck D. People who have knowledge of hip-hop and its early days don't make that mistake. Some of us are old enough to remember a time before NWA, before Wu-Tang Clan and way before Jay-Z, that PE was arguably the biggest group in rap. The jammy funksters Karl Denson's Tiny Universe are the openers. Denson's an alumni of The Greyboy All-Stars. An added bonus is former Ozomatli member Chalie 2na will open the 8 p.m. show. The Depot should be charged up for this one. Tickets are still on sale via smithtix.com
Here's some recent work from Public Enemy:
If PE seems like too-intense of a Friday night, fans of toe-tapping roots-rock can roll into The Bar Deluxe and see country-rockers Murder By Death. This Indiana-based band is in its 11th year and have built up a steady following over the years.
Also on Friday mega R&B star Ke$ha will hit The Salt Air. Wow Top 40 music, a sweaty, largely underage crowd at a venue with tough sightlines and long bar lines - all sandwiched inside at least a one-hour car trip. What's not to like?
See ya out there somewhere, hopefully. Meanwhile, don't forget you can follow me on Twitter at murphyinfo. I pop in there fairly frequently each day with concert announcements, tidbits and the occasional observation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aimee This is an amazing product My son loves this product. We go through a jar a week. January 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CatBme will make anything taste good Im a lazy cook, but I like to make things that look elegant. Nutella can go from being spread on toast simply for breakfast to a fancy looking dessert crepe in minutes. This is a very decadent taste...its not diet food but it is a chocolate hazelnut richness that will satisfy a sweet tooth...and has endless posibilities to fancy up cookies, scones, crepes, etc. I have often said I could spread this on cardboard and it make it delcious November 30, 2011

1. Ticket Prima Facie Evidence Of Contract
- The ticket constitutes prima facie evidence of the contract of carriage between Carrier and the passenger named on the ticket. The conditions of contract contained in the ticket are a summary of some of the provisions of these conditions of Carriage.
- Requirement for ticket : A person shall not be entitled to be carried on a flight unless that person presents a ticket valid and duly issued in accordance with Carrier's Regulations and containing the flight coupon for that flight and all other unused flight coupons and the passenger coupon. A passenger shall furthermore not be entitled to be carried if the ticket presented is multilated or if it has been altered otherwise than Carrier or its authorised agent.
- Loss, etc., of Ticket : In case of loss or multilation of a ticket, or part thereof, or nonpresentation of a ticket containing the passenger coupon and all unused flight coupons, the issuing Carrier may at the passenger's request and subject to Carrier's Regulations, replace such ticket or part thereof by issuing a new ticket on receipt of proof satisfactory to Carrier that a ticket valid for the flights in question was duly issued.
- Ticket not transferable : A ticket is not transferable. If ticket is presented by someone other than the person entitled to be carried thereunder or to a refund in connection there-with, Carrier shall not be liable to the person so entitled if in good faith it provides carriage or makes a refund to the person presenting the ticket.
2. Period Of Validity
A ticket is valid for carriage for one year from the date of commencement of travel or if no portion of the ticket is used, from the date of issue thereof, except as otherwise provided in the ticket, these Conditions or Carrier's Regulations.
Extension of Validity
- If a passenger is prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the ticket because Carrier :
( a ) cancels the flight on which the passenger holds a reservation; or
( b ) omits a scheduled stop, being the passenger's place of departure, place of destination or a stopover; or
( c ) fails to operate a flight reasonably according to schedule; or
( d ) causes the passenger to miss a connection; or
( e ) substitutes a different class of service; or
( f ) is unable to provide previously confirmed space;
the validity of such passenger's ticket will be extended until Carrier's first flight on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare hass been paid.
- When a passenger holding a ticket is prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the ticket because at the time such passenger requests reservations Carrier is unable to provide space on the flight, the validity of such passenger's ticket will be extended in accordance with Carrier's Regulations.
- When a passenger after having commenced his or her journey is prevented from travelling within the period of validity of the ticket by reason of illness, Carrier will extend (provided such extension is not precluded by Carrier's Regulations applicable to the fare paid by the passenger) the period of validity of such passenger's ticket until the date when the passenger becomes fit to travel according to a medical certificate, or until Carrier's first flight after such date from the point where journey is resumed on which space is available in the class of service for which the fare has been paid. When the flight coupons remaining in the ticketinvolve one or more stop-overs, the validity of such ticket, subject to Carrier's Regulations, will be extended for not more than three months from the date shown on such certificate. In such circumstances, Carrier will extend similarly the period of validity of tickets of other members of the passenger's immediate family accompanying an incapacitated passenger.
- In the event of death of a passenger en route, the tickets of the persons accompanying the passenger may be modified by waiving the minimum stay or extending the validity. In the event of a death in the immidiate family of a passenger who has commenced travel, the calidity of the passenger's tickets and those of his or her immidiate family accompanying the passenger may be likewise modified. Any such modification shall be made upon receipt of a proper death certificate and any such extension of validity shall be for a period no longer than 45 days from the date of the death.
3. Flight Coupon Sequence
- Carrier will honour flight coupons only in sequence from the place of departure as shown on the ticket.
- The ticket may not be valid and Carrier may not honour the passenger's ticket if the first flight coupon for international travel has not been used and the passenger commences his or her journey at any stopover or agreed stopping place.
- Each flight coupon will be accepted for carriage in the class of service specified therein on the date and flight for which accommodation has been reserved. When flight coupons are issued without a reservation being specified thereon, space will be reserved on application subject to the conditions of the relevant fare and the availability of space on the flight applied for.
3. 4 Name And Address Of Carrier
Carrier's name may be abbreviated in the ticket. Carrier's address shall be deemed to be the airport of departure shown opposite the first abbreviation of Carrier's name in the 'CARRIER' box in the ticket

Secluded along the western coast of Lampung, beyond the thick forests of the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park lies an enchanting hidden paradise called Tanjung Setia Beach. Although obscured from spotlights, the waves at Tanjung Setia are touted as among the world's best by surfers from all over the globe, and at par with the world famous surf of Hawaii.
Located some 273 kms or some 6-7 hours driving from the province's capital Bandar Lampung, in the Tanjung Setia Village of the West Lampung district, the Tanjung Setia Beach lies directly in the path of the large Indian Ocean currents that enhance it with constant fascinating waves. Nonetheless, the beach itself has yet to attain the kind of fame in the international circuit, as have its counterparts in Bali or Lombok. This, of course, translates into fewer tourists and more surf to go round.
During the peak surfing months, which last from June to August, waves can reach up to six and even spectacular seven meters in height and stretch for as long as 200 meters, making them a prime playground for surfers. Sticking to a true surfer's lifestyle, these tides' riders often stay up to two weeks during a single visit, craving for ever bigger and better waves.
Tanjung Setia also boasts a near virgin condition and some stunning natural beauty. Its soft white sandy beaches that stretch from shore to shore and breathtaking sunsets offer their own fascinating attractions next to the challenging waves. The shores of Tanjung Setia Beach are also decorated with lush palm trees that give it a picturesque landscape and relaxing ambience as one waits for the perfect waves.
Far from the shorelines and raging waves, the seas off the coast of Tanjung Setia Beach await fishing enthusiasts to discover their rich treasures. From all the various collection of fish, the legendary Blue Marlin giant fish obviously outshines other catch. Locally known as Iwa Tuhuk, Blue Marlins here can weigh roughly between 50 to 70 Kilograms and measure up to 170 cm in length. The sensation of heaving in the reel in a fight against one of these deep sea beasts is an experience unmatched by any other.
The diving sites here are also legendary among dive aficionados, although nowhere near as popular as their counterparts in Manado or, again, in Bali.
Given its unspoilt beauty and strategically secluded location, the term hidden pearl suits this pristine beach most perfectly. Its indulging waters and challenging waves combined with relaxing un-crowded beaches make this a perfect destination both for adrenalin-pumping junkies and getaway seekers.
There are several hotels and modest inns you can find within the vicinity of West Lampung. Most of them are located in the district's capital Liwa, and some are within the area of Tanjung Setia Beach. Here are a number of the accommodations you can find:
Hotel Jembar Manah
address : Jalan Raya Pasar Liwa
Hotel Karang Nyimbor
Address: Jalan Raya Tanjung Setia, Pesisir Selatan,Biha
Hotel Permata
address : Jalan Raya Way Mengaku ,Liwa
phone : +62-728-21022
Hotel Pesagi
Address: Jalan Raya Sebarus ,Liwa
Wisma Sindalapai
Address: Jalan Raden Intan No.1 Liwa
phone : +62-728-21750
Kepalas Losmen
Address: Krui
Phone: +62 828 721 1215
There are also several surf camps within the Tanjung Setia, you can find a selection of them and other accommodation options at our Find a Hotel
Located within the Tanjung Setia Village, Pesisir Selatan of the West Lampung district, this enchanting beach is situated some 52 kms away from the district's Capital Liwa in the direction of Krui, and 273 kms or some 6-7 hours drive from the province's capital Bandar lampung. If you wish to take public transportation you can take the Krui Putra bus from Rajabasa Terminal at Bandarlampung that passes through the Trans Sumatra Highway, and stops directly at Tanjung Setia Beach. The bus will charge around IDR 40,000 to IDR 50,000. Along the way, you will be presented with some of the stunning sceneries of Bukit Barisan Mountain ridge with slopes and winding turns on relatively smooth roads.

Every drop counts
As the first manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks in the world, Volvo introduced the driver airbag in 1994.
The airbag is a gas-filled cushion that inflates very rapidly out of the steering wheel hub in a frontal crash, thus protecting the driver from the forces of a head-on collision.
Our airbag is designed to reduce injuries by preventing the driver's head and chest from hitting the steering wheel, the dashboard or the top of the windscreen. It deploys only in serious frontal collisions, when a belted driver needs extra protection for the upper body.

Laptop Requirements
Who needs a laptop?
As of fall 2011, all students entering any of the art + design programs (Fine Arts, Graphic + Media Design, Interior Design or Photography) are required to purchase a laptop and software for use in their courses starting their freshman year.
We recognize that laptops are a considerable expense. However, we strongly believe they are essential tools for professional artists. To help defray the cost, students can purchase hardware and software using educational pricing. Students can also fold the cost of the laptop into their financial aid package.
What kind should I get?
An Apple Macintosh laptop is highly recommended for the Fine Arts, Graphic + Media Design, and Photography areas. Although Windows laptops can work in these areas, we teach from Macs and our systems are set up to support Macs. Students who wish to use Windows computers should understand that they will be responsible for any configuration issues that may arise.
For Interior Design students, a Windows laptop is recommended as this is better suited to the software requirements for this area. A Mac laptop will work, but additional software will be required.
Based on your program and area of interest, we recommend one of the following. In general, the fifteen-inch Macbook Pro will provide the most powerful, flexible choice, although it is the most expensive of the three.
|Macbook Pro
|Macbook Pro
|Fine Arts
|Graphic + Media Design
|Interior Design
The MacBook Air is not recommended as it cannot be expanded.
Laptops can be purchased online through Apple.com or locally at the Apple Store. Either way, be sure to get the educational discount, which can save you a hundred dollars or more. If ordering online, you can use Sage's Apple store at http://store.apple.com/us_edu_87510
For Fine Arts, Graphic + Media Design, and Photography we recommend the following minimum specifications for all laptops, regardless of model:
RAM: 4GB (8GB preferred. The more RAM, the better)
Hard Drive: 512GB (But again, bigger is better)
For Interior Design, we recommend the following:
Hard Drive: 512GB
Additional Items
In addition to the computer we recommend students purchase the following:
AppleCare Protection Plan
Although extended warranties are generally a bad idea, we do recommend the AppleCare plan highly. Laptops can be subjected to much more wear and tear than a desktop computer, and working in a collaborative environment such as school, accidents can easily happen. Considering the large cost of most laptop repairs, we have found this program to be a worthwhile investment.
External Hard Drive
An external hard drive should be considered an essential purchase along with a laptop. It will allow you to back up all of the data from your laptop and keep it in a secure location. Look for a hard drive that has at least double (preferably triple) the capacity of the hard drive in your laptop. Currently, a 1TB external drive can be found many places for under a hundred dollars.
Laptop Bag
Since you will be carrying your laptop to and from classes all day, look for a bag that will allow you to carry all your peripherals (power supply, cables) and will provide padded protection for the computer.
All students are responsible for purchasing an annual subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. The Adobe Creative Cloud provides access to the entire Adobe software suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, After Effects, Premier, etc.) Students can learn more about educational pricing for the Adobe Creative Cloud by clicking here. Based on your program, you may need additional software:
Fine Arts - Fine arts students must purchase an annual subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. In addition, students should download a free version of SketchUp Make through http://www.sketchup.com/download.
Graphic + Media Design - Graphic + Media Design students must purchase an annual subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Photography - Photography students must purchase an annual subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Interior Design - Interior Design students must purchase an annual subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud. In addition, Interior Design students will need to download the latest version of AutoCad Architecture and Revit through students.autodesk.com as well as SketchUp Make through http://www.sketchup.com/download. If you are purchasing a Mac, you must also purchase and run Windows 7 64-bit. You will be able to run Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp (included with your Mac) or Parallels (an additional purchase).
Purchasing Software
We recommend purchasing software through an educational software vendor, since the cost savings can be enormous. The following companies sell software at educational discount to students:
Journey Ed
Academic Superstore
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you require laptops?
Because the computer is such an important part of our curriculum, we feel it essential for our students to have access to their tools at all times. Laptops literally allow students to carry their studios with them, making it much easier to share ideas, to work collaboratively, and for faculty to consult on specific technical issues. Owning a computer allows students to become proficient with the technology at a level simply not possible working in a shared computer lab. Plus, the laptops give the students the most essential tool they will need to begin work as a professional once they leave the program.
Can Financial Aid be used to help cover the cost of a laptop?
Yes. The cost of a laptop can be folded into your cost of attendance. Talk to the financial aid department for details on how to do this.
I already have a Macintosh laptop. Do I have to buy a new one?
As long as your laptop meets the basic configurations listed above, you should be all set. If not, it may still be possible to upgrade individual components to meet the specifications.
I have a Windows laptop. Can I use that instead?
Most areas within the Fine Arts department at Sage are Mac-based (Fine Arts, Graphic + Media Design, and Photography), and unless otherwise noted, we teach from the Mac versions of software. While all the required software is available in identical Windows versions, you may run into difficulties with things like exchanging files across platforms, working with fonts, etc. Please realize that if you choose to work on the Windows platform, all such configuration issues will be your responsibility. If you are an Interior Design student and already own a Windows laptop, it will need to meet the basic configurations listed above for Interior Design.
Where do I go for support? What if it breaks?
Apple laptops come with a one-year warranty. We recommend you purchase an extended warranty for three years (called Apple Care) when you purchase your laptop (see above). Repairs can be handled through the Apple Store at Crossgates Mall in Albany.
What if it gets lost or stolen? Is it covered by insurance?
Most likely your laptop will be covered by your homeowners insurance policy, although you may have to add a separate rider for it. Talk to your insurance agent for details.

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Christianne Stotijn ¦ Intro
Christianne Stotijn
How like a winter
Just as in her two previous recitals at La Monnaie, the Dutch mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn is again performing a highly original programme of Lieder. She is drawing on a rarely performed repertoire of arias and songs with piano and obbligato double bass, an unexpected but quite extraordinary combination. The journey of course starts with arias originally written for these instruments by the 19th-century double bass virtuoso Giovanni Bottesini. They will be followed by songs by Mikhail Glinka in a new arrangement for this ensemble and Cabaret Songs by the American 'composer of the year 2007', William Bolcom. To finish there will be a brand new work by the Dutch composer Michel van der Aa and Ned Rorem's most recent song cycle. Anyone who likes making musical discoveries should not miss this!

... His name is PD?
... His name is PD?
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Then you'll call him fucking Peter.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Post a picture of Nicola.
and I thought Walrus and I had it bad. They all look snobby, ALL OF THEM.
they are all rich brit kids. what do you expect XD
im going to see the fat slob today with nicola. we're going swimming HAHAHAHA
ALLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN. Let's do this.
Now I'll have none of you mistake this as a return. This is a simple appearence just to make fun of these faggots because honestly I can't even resist.
Now let's just make fun of these fags as is.
First, Olly. He's a fucking faggot and I've hated him since the day before forever. Just look at his name! HE'S NAMED AFTER A SKATEBOARD TRICK! That's reason to hate someone enough. Then there's his personality which is as easy to hate then his appearence. He's just a prick to the core. If I ever met him in real life I'd break him like a toothpick. I would beat him to the point where the sweet release of death seems particularly sweet and leave him somewhere to die slowly of starvation and I wouldn't feel bad about it for 1 second.
Now there's this Ben fellow. I've never known anyone named ben before in real life but I'm sure if I did I wouldn't like them. He looks like a product of inbreeding. He reminds me of Nikoli the Red (Tim will understand that)
Now on to the pictures. This shall be quite fun...
Look at him. Just look at him. It's disgusting. He's just got this look on his face that says "Yeah that's right, I'm a piece of shit" I just want to kick him in the mouth. Jesus! How can someone just be so Irritating!? And look at his bitch ass friend. He's just saying "Yeahhh dudeee! Anal would be cool!" Faggots
Well not much can be said about this one. Well actually a lot can be said about this one. Jesus fucking christ! Ugly people should get that close to a camera, much less take a picture that close to a camera. And look at those flaming fucking queers! I'd love to backhand them both with one swift motion.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I could make a whole seperate thread about the faggotry caught on film here. Just look at him. The fat kid from Kingdom Hearts 2 doesn't seem nearly as awful compared to this disgusting blob of sub-humanity. I wanna chalange this kid to a running race just to laugh at him. Then I'd punch him in the gut and force feed him shit until he died.
HA HA HA HA HA H AH HA HA HA HA H HA HA!!!! Now this one is just plain funny. He's like the black Dr. Evil.
Now this is just sicking. He didn't even need to show me his dick to make me vomit. He looks like Tim in a Reverse alternate universe where his penis is small and he's the biggest faggot who ever lived. Just look at this cunt!
Huge faggot
All that I have to say about this one, Tim, Do you remember Nick Chip from school?
Come on Tim! You could have done way better than that. He has his tongue out! Think of the possibilities!
You know why this picture reminds you of Chrizz, Tim? Because the kid looks like a bitch. I wanna smack that look of his face with a sledgehammer. It could only be an improvement to his awful facial features.
Caption for this picture: "I'm sitting on a really expensive dildo"
Josh and Ripdo: Seperated at birth!?!?!?!
As for the other faggots, HDJAFGDHGASDA! They just make me sick. They look gay enough to hang out with crystal!
As gay as PD is, It doesn't deserve someone who is as fucking gay looking as that running around calling himself PD. I could picture that faggot sitting somewhere Listening to his iPod with some really terrible band on so loud that is sounds like static while smoking a ciggerette with some other faggots thinking he's really some hot shit. Just that image alone in my head makes me really hate this fucking bitch.
Jesus fucking christ! What a group of fucking disgusting people. You could pack them all into a van and drvie them around and call them the Traveling Fag Circus of Llandudno! In that case at least you be making money off of dealing with them. I'd almost consider taking a shower after just posting about these shit eating cunts. ALMOST. And that is a big deal. Damn.
And that, is how you conduct a dissing Tim.
My picture was brilliant. Anyone can edit a dick to his tounge, or draw olly's tounge to make it look like they're kissing, but taking a shot at the fact that hes an underdeveloped awkward 17 year old who looks no older than 13 has a chance of actually making him feel bad.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I love how half of your comments ended with the word "Faggot". Sometimes no other words can really suffice can they?
hell yeah mario
now that, is how you make people feel centimetres tall
hahahaha All the guys are insulting them
Eve give them the link to this thread.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
no not you
By the look of those pics they far surpass the normal limits of homosexuality.
If only mario had stayed... He would shred the n00bs right out of this place leaving behind only the elites and those with potential.
The APA should make a comeback, one of the only things holding me to watch WWE
You do realize what that would mean for you right?
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
I do, Ill take my chances. They were the best thing on. Who else has an open office with just a door frame for an entrance?

"Clichéd as it might be, we've always been a good, hard rock and roll band," Angus Young has said of his group, 2003 Hall of Fame inductees AC/DC. More than simply "good," AC/DC has reigned as one of the best-loved and hardest-rocking bands in the world for decades.
In this Gallery Talk clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the story behind the iconic schoolboy outfit worn by AC/DC guitarist Angus Young. This outfit – along with other items from AC/DC's lengthy career – is on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, in the heavy metal section of the Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit.
Tommy Clarke is a native New Yorker and was a first-responder at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. His experience at the tragedy profoundly changed his life. Clarke felt a duty to keep alive the memory of those who died that day, as well as the survivors who still suffer effects from the attacks and the collapse of the towers.
Clarke enlisted his longtime friend and three-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Eric Clapton to create something to honor the three services of first responders – the New York Police Department, the Fire Department of New York and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Clapton brought in master luthier Todd Krause from the Fender Guitar Custom Shop and legendary graffiti artist Lee Quinones to design and build three guitars.
Quinones interviewed many 9/11 survivors to get their thoughts and impressions about the events. With their stories as inspiration, Quinones and Clarke conceptualized the renderings that Quinones then painted on the back of each guitar. Clarke secured authentic badges and commendation bars, and Krause installed them on the instruments he built himself. Clapton brought these guitars on tour with him in 2011 and played ...
Aretha Franklin was only 24 years old when she signed with Atlantic Records in November 1966, but she had already been making records for much of her life, first as a child gospel singer, then as a pop singer of only modest success.
Born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee, Aretha Franklin was raised in Detroit. Her father, Rev. C.L. Franklin, was the charismatic pastor at New Bethel Baptist Church, which he turned into a large and thriving institution. From an early age, Aretha sang at her father's behest during services at New Bethel. Her first recordings turned up on an album called Spirituals, recorded at the church when she was only 14. Although she was firmly rooted in gospel, Franklin also drew from such blues and jazz legends as Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughn as she developed her singing style. On the male side, she was inspired by Ray Charles, Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke (both with and without the Soul Stirrers). From the emerging world of youthful doo-wop groups and early soul, Aretha enjoyed the likes of LaVern Baker, Ruth Brown, Little Willie John, the Falcons (featuring Wilson Pickett) and Frankie Lymon ...
The original Stooges seemed to push rock and roll as far as it could go before they flamed out in 1970. However, in 1973, with encouragement from David Bowie, Iggy Stooge returned, though he now called himself Iggy Pop. His reconstituted Stooges rocked with even more abandon. On the aptly named 1973 Raw Power album, the Stooges achieved an incendiary sound that was thrilling and dangerous. "The Stooges define a moment in rock and roll history. They symbolize the destruction of flower power and they introduce us to raw power," said Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, when he inducted the group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010. "When I think of the sound of war, chaos and demolition; sex, sensuality, poetry and brutal truth, I think of the Stooges. It's the sound of blood and guts, sex and drugs, heart and soul, love and hate, poetry and peanut butter."
"Search and Destroy" was among the album's standout tracks. On the brash recording, Iggy's distorted vocals carried lyrics that spoke for Vietnam vets, disenfranchised youth and anyone else who felt left out in 1973. The music bubbled with urgency, with James Williamson's ...
From the Northern Ireland counties to the southern cities of the Republic, Ireland has been – and continues to be – home to some of the world's best known and most-beloved musicians. With a diverse cast of voices and music, Ireland's contributions to rock and roll have expanded the boundaries of the genre. Artists have acted as a force for change and forward thinking, while providing a record of tradition. Songwriters have delivered uniquely Irish narratives, though rich with universal themes and the human experience.
In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, here are 10 essential Irish rockers.
Released in 1964 as the b-side to "Baby, Please Don't Go" (itself a smoldering cover of the Big Joe Williams' song), the Van Morrison–penned "Gloria" became a garage-rock classic, with artists such as the Doors, Jimi Hendrix and Patti Smith later covering it. Its three chords, speak-sing vocal delivery and indelible "G-L-O-R-I-A" chorus inspired legions of budding musicians and, along with "Here Comes the Night," gave the Belfast group among its first tastes of success.
Innovators steeped in tradition, Horslips emerged at the dawn of the 70s as a hard-rocking ...
Hall of Fame Inductees U2 – vocalist Bono (born Paul Hewson), guitarist the Edge (Dave Evans), bass player Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. – formed at Mount Temple School in Dublin in 1976. The four originally dubbed themselves Feedback, then later the Hype. On St. Patrick's Day in 1978, the Hype – now calling themselves U2 – traveled from Dublin to the city of Limerick in the midwest of Ireland to perform at a talent contest sponsored in part by CBS Records and Guinness. U2's three-song performance won first prize, including a trophy that's part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's U2 Featured Collection, £500 and a demo recording session. That session led to the group's EP called U2-3.
Watch the video below as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator Meredith Rutledge-Borger shares the stories behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's U2 collection, and a time when the group were playing in Irish clubs with £1 covers and writing their own press releases "full of lies."
For someone who wasn't a star in the Motown stable of artists, Bobby Rogers was a recognizable figure among fans and commanded the respect of his peers. Tall, strapping and bespectacled, Rogers was a founding member of the Miracles, who distinguished himself through his role as a foil to his better-known band mate, Smokey Robinson, and as a collaborator in the only group on Motown that wrote and produced the bulk of its own material.
Bobby Rogers and Smokey Robinson were fated to be friends and musical partners. They were born on the same day – February 19, 1940 – at the same hospital in Detroit, and grew up together singing. Their first musical group, the Five Chimes, formed in the basement of Rogers' cousin Claudette's home. With her, Pete Moore and Ronnie White, they became the Matadors. Eventually taking the name the Miracles, they were spotted at a local talent show by Berry Gordy Jr., then a fledgling songwriter with dreams of his own record label. He saw potential in the suave nature of the group. Gordy produced their debut single, "Got a Job," an answer record to the Silhouettes "Get a Job," and licensed it to United ...
I was seven years old when Exile on Main St. was released in 1972. It wasn't until later in the decade that I first heard the album, though I was already a Rolling Stones fan by then. My earliest rock and roll mentors – friends and family, and musicians and writers that I admired – told me Exile was the Stones record to have, so I picked up a used, well-worn copy on vinyl. The dog-eared double LP jacket was ragged and looked like hell; long gone were the dozen postcards that came with the original packaging. However, the scratched wax delivered an electric sound.
Those sounds – like my battered copy's packaging – were gritty, rough, perfectly unpolished. The album was filled with bravado, the songs seemingly shambolic, unrehearsed and the playlist was sprawling, with more than a dozen tracks. The Stones tapped into America's eclectic songbook, borrowing lines from country, blues, soul, swamp and the heyday of the rock and roll era – and it all sounded genuine. The recording of Exile was shrouded in mystique, a model of rebellion amid tales of wild decadence and hedonism at Nellcôte, the French mansion-cum-studio rented by Keith Richards. Even the ...

Reviews for Lemon Custard Ice Cream
"This sounds delicious & I'm looking forward to trying it. But I thought you only use egg yolks in a custard. Is this a misprint?"
"Delicious but a little too lemony for me, so I cut the lemon juice to 2/3 cup and it was great. Thank you"
"This was very good. Changes I were 4 c. Milk, 4 c. 1/2 & 1/2, 2 tsp vanilla and 1-2 T. Lemon extract because that's all I had on hand. Still come out great."
"Very good. I used lemon juice from the bottle (RealLemon, 1 cup) and it tasted great. Very lemonly. It is homemade ice cream and a bit labor intesive -- which is why I gave it four stars instead of five."
"On the lemon juice, I didn't know if it needed to be freshly squeezed juice or bottled juice. I used freshly squeezed lemons which produced a very mild lemon flavor."

Party Train
The Party
The majesty and grandeur of the court of Versailles came to life at the Chicago Botanic Garden's annual All Aboard! Party, hosted by the Woman's Board of the Chicago Horticultural Society.
The Scene
During a welcome reception featuring festive decor and charming cafe tables, a crowd of more than 300 sipped libations and enjoyed decadent appetizers (steak tartare, triple cream fromage with caramel apple jam, and foie gras mousse with brandied cherries were on the menu) while being serenaded by classical French music courtesy of the Allium String Quartet. Three dining settings transported guests to the Garden of Versailles, Louis XVI's library and the famed Hall of Mirrors, where they were treated to a lavish meal of mache salad with roasted beets and smoked salmon mousse in petite eggshells, beef tenderloin bourguignon and a dessert duet of white chocolate pots de creme and cranberry tartlets.
The Highlights
Before departing, guests made their way to a crepe station for a made-to-order farewell treat. Another treat? The evening raised $250,000 for the Woman's Board's Growing the Future campaign. –Photos courtesy of Chicago Botanic Garden

I struggle with baking, but this recipe requires very little work and very few ingredients, so it seemed like it was worth a shot. Little did I know, it changed my life. Why would you ever buy bread when it's this simple to make?! Without further ado, I give you...
The Easiest Bread Known to Man
1 1â"2 cups lukewarm water
1 1â"2 tbsp granulated yeast
1 tbsp + 1 tsp salt
1/2 cup honey
1 1â"2 cups lukewarm milk
5 tbsp vegetable oil
6 2/3 cups unbleached wheat flour (You can use a combination of white and wheat, but the dough will require extra flour or it will be too moist.)
Part 1
In a bowl that is NOT metal, mix together the water, yeast, salt, honey, milk, and oil. Gradually add flour and mix (with a sturdy spoon!) until evenly combined. Allow to rise for 3 hours…and be sure to cover the bowl with something breathable, like aluminum foil with holes poked in it, to keep off drafts. If you want the dough to be a little easier to work with, you can refrigerate it overnight and work with it in the morning.
Part 2
Spray a medium-sized loaf pan with cooking spray. Pull off a large portion of dough (about the size of a small cantaloupe, or your two fists together… about 1/3 of the dough in the bowl). Stretch the "corners†of the dough underneath to form it into a ball. Place the dough into the loaf pan, then slash the top of the dough. This will help it expand to fill the length of the pan.
Let the dough rest for 1 hour and 40 minutes. About 5 minutes before you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350, with an old cake pan on the bottom rack. Once the oven has preheated, place your loaf pan on the top rack and put two cups of hot water in the cake pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until deep brown.

November 14, 1998
FRESNO, Calif.- Arizona State's hopes for its first appearance as a team, for either men and women, suffered a blow Saturday as the Sun Devil women finished sixth and the men eighth at the NCAA West Regional Cross Country Championships at Woodward Park in Fresno, Calif. It was the best effort at an NCAA regional for ASU since 1986, when ASU had sixth and seventh place finishes for its women and men, respectively.
Senior Priscilla Hein led ASU's women, finishing 13th in 17:22, the best finish by a Sun Devil woman since 1988. Sophomore Kelly MacDonald also came up with a top 20 finish, placing 20th in 17:44. On the men's side, freshmen Juan Chavira and Fasil Bizuneh led ASU, finishing 18th and 20th in 31:18 and 31:20, respectively. They were the top two freshmen in the race and it was the first top 20 finishes by ASU men since 1991.
Stanford ran away with the men's regional championship with 37 points. Arizona edged the Cardinal on the women's side, winning by two points, 78-80. The Wildcats swept the individual honors as Abdi Abdirahman won the men's title and Amy Skieresz captured the women's championship.
The top two teams from nine regionals receive automatic bids to the NCAA Championships Nov. 24 in Lawrence, Kan. Thirteen at-large bids will be announced Monday.

Salt and pepper
4 tomatoes

Cut each eggplant into 12 slices and place on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 20 minutes or until the eggplant is soft.
Cut each tomato into 6 slices.
Top each of the eggplant slices with a slice of tomato and sprinkle with some of the mozzarella cheese. Place half of the eggplant stacks on top of the other half of the stacks so each one has six layers. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve.
