Recently, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a new Spotlight Exhibit devoted to the Band. Located in the Museum's main gallery, the exhibit features an extremely rare electric guitar/mandolin that was manufactured by Gibson back in 1961. Band guitarist Robbie Robertson played the instrument when the group performed "The Weight" at the Last Waltz. The exhibit also includes a mandolin that was played by Levon Helm, the original handwritten lyric manuscript to "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," the original artwork for the cover of the group's Cahoots album, Martin Scorsese's shooting script for The Last Waltz and a jacket that Robertson wore onstage during a 1971 New Year's Eve concert in New York City. That concert was recorded and released on the album Rock of Ages. Robbie Robertson got to check the exhibit out when he made a visit to the Museum on January 17.
Watch Robertson playing the 1961 Gibson electric guitar/mandolin in The Last Waltz:
The members of Joy Division were post-punk visionaries. In contrast to the raw fury of the British punk scene that gave birth to the band, Joy Division created a more nuanced, expressive template for emphatically projecting discontent. Tortured lead singer Ian Curtis' introspective lyrics and melancholic worldview were reflected in the band's manic live performances and moody arrangements. This motif was captured in songs like "Disorder," "Transmission" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart." In addition to Curtis' vocals, Bernard Sumner's angular guitar work and Stephen Morris' frenetic drumming, the band's signature sound owed much to the bass of Peter Hook, who cultivated a lead-bass style that rejected the notion of a bassist's sole role as being backup. "I never did really play bass, because I always found it intensely annoying whenever some twat of a guitarist would turn around to you and say, 'could you play the root note?' said Hook during a 2010 interview at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "Luckily, I found a style."
That signature style involved playing lead lines high on the fretboard, creating melodies that were often mimicked in the vocals. "That came about early, when ...
For more than four decades, Loretta Lynn has delivered honest narratives with a country spirit on recordings from 1963's Loretta Lynn Sings to the Jack White–produced Van Lear Rose in 2004. On stage, she simultaneously projects a profound confidence and demure sensibility, as her polished voice carried lyrics with a decidedly rock and roll swagger. She is the inspiration for countless musicians – male and female – who are empowered by her ability to capture the issues of the day in songs that opened the doors to candid reflections on taboo topics.
Lynn didn't begin playing music until her mid-twenties, though she married Oliver Lynn, nicknamed "Mooney," when she was 13. They had six children and were married nearly 50 years until his death in 1996. After years spent raising her family, Lynn began singing in various local bands, eventually attracting the attention of independent record label Zero Records. Within a year, Lynn signed to Decca, one of the biggest labels in the country. Taken under the wing of Patsy Cline, Lynn began to blossom into a major recording star. Including her duets with Conway Twitty, Lynn posted more than 50 Top 10 country hits between 1962 and ...
Chicago native Michael Angelo Batio is a guitar virtuoso, renowned in heavy metal circles and beyond for his fretwork dexterity, combining a signature blend of showmanship and technical precision. Although the Eighties and early Nineties found him on lead guitar in metal acts Holland and later Nitro, Batio's first experiences as a young musician came in front of a piano, and it was jazz guitar that first captured his interest – and soon highlighted his innate prowess.
On February 10, 2012, Batio visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, where his signature Dean Guitars "Jet" double-guitar is currently displayed as part of the Right Here, Right Now! exhibit. Here, the Rock Hall catches up with the virtuoso shredder to learn more about his influences and inspirations, and the origins of his unique guitar.
Rock Hall: When did you first start playing guitar and was it something that came naturally?
Michael Angelo Batio: I started playing the guitar at age 10. I started playing the piano at age five. Music just came naturally to me. But, I always loved to practice and work to get better. I still love to practice and learn new things.
RH: Who ...
Among Jerry Garcia's most well-known electric guitars is the unique instrument dubbed "Rosebud." Built for Garcia by luthier Doug Irwin, who had previously worked for Alembic guitars, it was the fourth guitar that Irwin had made for the Grateful Dead's charismatic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist.
While Irwin had named the guitar "the Saint," noting that the large inlay below the bridge was "a skeleton in the act of repelling death," Garcia changed the name. Nobody is entirely certain what inspired the "Rosebud" moniker, though Garcia's interest in film and the rose in the skeleton's mouth have been conjectured as possible explanations.
Garcia first played the guitar in 1989, and it was his main stage guitar until 1993.
In this video, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the story and details behind Garcia's famous electric guitar, which was featured in the Rock Hall's Grateful Dead: The Long, Strange Trip exhibit, which closed on March 24, 2013.
After the Beatles achieved success, they could afford the kind of instruments they had only dreamed about as struggling musicians. Although Gretsch guitars were primarily associated with George Harrison, John Lennon acquired this particular guitar in 1966. He used it during the recording of "Paperback Writer" in April of that year.
In this video, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer discusses the guitar and the unique circumstances that brought it to the Rock Hall, where it is on display as part of the Museum's Beatles exhibit.

The Dells are one of the longest-lived rhythm & blues vocal groups. Their origins date back to 1952, and the group's original lineup – lead tenor Johnny Funches, second tenor Verne Allison, lead baritone Marvin Junior, baritone Michael "Mickey" McGill and bass Chuck Barksdale – changed only when John E. Carter replaced Funches in 1959. Between 1956 and 1992, the Dells racked up an astonishing 46 R&B hits. Eight of those made the pop Top 40, including their signature songs, "Stay in My Corner" and "Oh, What a Nite." They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
In this clip, curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the story behind the Dells and their onstage battle against 1996 Hall of Fame inductees Gladys Knights and the Pips at the Apollo Theater in New York City. The Dells are featured in a special exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
From her self-titled debut album in 1971, Bonnie Raitt has established herself as a virtuoso blues musician who sings blues with gritty passion and plays slide guitar with authority, as if the genre's fundamentals had been etched in her soul. With mentors that included Sippie Wallace, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Son House, Raitt has demonstrated a studied reverence for old-school country-blues tempered with a contemporary outlook and willingness to experiment. She recorded eight albums for Warner Bros. Records from 1971 to 1986, progressively moving from straight blues into more pop-oriented areas without losing sight of her roots. Raitt's move to Capitol Records was followed by her 1989 breakthrough Nick of Time, which netted four Grammy Awards in 1990 and prompted her to note: "It means so much for the kind of music that we do. It means that those of us who do rhythm & blues are going to get a chance again."
In this clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum VP of exhibitions and curatorial Jim Henke shares the story behind the development and impact of Bonnie Raitt's signature Fender Stratocaster and the jacket she was wearing on one of the most rewarding ...

The land is an integral part of the natural ecosystem in the increasingly populated Basin. Next time you are driving over Parley's Summit toward Kimball Junction, look southward and you will see dramatic evidence of the residential growth among the evergreens and aspens. While the twinkling Christmas lights adorning residents' homes in Timberline, Pinebrook and Summit Park are lovely, they provide a stark outline of the shrinking patches of wildlife habitat and publicly accessible open space.
Preservation of those dwindling undisturbed areas is vital to residents' quality of life for many reasons. Most importantly, the wooded slopes and grassy meadows help to prevent erosion, restore air and water quality and serve as a bank of natural resources for future generations. More selfishly, they are our playgrounds, knitting together neighborhoods with trails and viewsheds.
But those amenities come with a price tag. Closing the deal on Toll Canyon will cost $6.
They are almost there.
According to tentative agreements that have yet to be formally approved by Park City and Summit County, the money would come from the Basin's voter-approved open-space bonds and from a unique land swap between the city and the county using, in part, revenues from Park City's Resort City Sales Tax recently increased with voters' support.
The complex agreements laid out this week required a unique level of cooperation among sometimes competitive government agencies, and they accurately reflect citizens' repeated support for open-space acquisitions. But they don't cover the full purchase price.
Even with all of the city and county handshaking and valuable support from Utah Open Lands, individuals are being asked to step forward to help close a quarter-of-a-million dollar gap to secure the deal by the end of the year. Utah Open Lands is hoping to raise that amount in pledges. If that effort is successful, the landowner has agreed reduce the price by more than half a million dollars.
It is a reasonable request. While citizens throughout the city and county have contributed to the purchase through their taxes, those who use open space, especially those who live and recreate in the area, should be willing to contribute a little more.
The opportunity to preserve Toll Canyon is extraordinary. The city, county, Basin Recreation, BOSAC and Utah Open Lands are to be congratulated for their hard work to bring this option to the table, and we would urge residents to tell their elected leaders to green-light the the agreements when they come before them in the next two weeks.
Finally, we would like to remind everyone, as they look up at the Wasatch Mountains that provide a stunning backdrop on the way home from other more cluttered places, to add Utah Open Lands' Toll Canyon Fund to their Christmas shopping list.

With six races remaining before the start of the Chase, Kurt Busch finds himself in 14th place, 13 points shy of 10th, the final Chase position before the two-wildcard entries.
Alex Tagliani (#18 Epipen/Riobel/ComplexeJCP/Juste du Pin/Cantorque Chevrolet) finished third in Friday night's NASCAR Pinty's Series (NPS) CRS Express 300 at Autodrome Chaudiere in Vallee-Jonction, Quebec.
Kyle Busch finished seventh in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway to extend his current top-10 streak on road courses to three consecutive. Last year he swept the top two positions on twisty tracks.
Kurt Busch scored his 10th consecutive top-10 of 2016 at Sonoma Raceway in the Toyota / Save Mart 350, but just barely so. He finished the race 10th after starting fourth. That was the second straight race in which he finished 10th after also fairing that well at Michigan International Speedway.
Kasey Kahne finished ninth in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, which was his fourth consecutive top-10 on this track.
Ryan Newman is a bulldog on every track type, but that is not always beneficial on road courses where finesse is a more desirable trait. Still, he finished eighth in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, which is his seventh top-15 in his past eight races on this track type.
Kevin Harvick stumbled in qualification for the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma and rolled off the grid deep in the field. He advanced to sixth at the end of the race from 25th, however, and added 19 place-differential points and three laps led to his fantasy total.
Chase Briscoe got the best of Dalton Sargeant on the final restart inside of 30 laps to go, then drove away to win the Herr's Potato Chips 200 Sunday afternoon at Winchester Speedway.
After sweeping those positions in 2013, Martin Truex Jr. failed to finish in the top five in his last four road course races until this weekend. He finished fifth in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma to get back into championship form.
Carl Edwards dominated early in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, but was caught in traffic with the wrong pit strategy at the end of the race. He rallied to finish fourth after leading the field to green and leading 24 laps in the opening stages.
Joey Logano finished third in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway to score his fourth consecutive top-six finish on road courses. This was his third straight top-five.
Denny Hamlin passed Tony Stewart on the final lap, but could not hang on through the final corner. He over drove Turn 11 and was passed by Tony Stewart within sight of the checkers, but he matched his career-best road course effort. Hamlin finished second at Watkins Glen International in 2007; he matched that with a second in the Toyota / Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway.

Reviews for Light Strawberry Gelatin Pie
"I really don't have anything to add to what 73 people have said already, except - EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THIS PIE!!! It has everything: ease & simplicity of preparation, saves time by being made ahead, coolness on a hot day, light and refreshing with the fresh strawberries at all times! D. Smith, you're the best!"
"I followed this exactly as is EXCEPT I used regular strawberry jello and regular graham cracker crust (not sugar free). Our little family of 4 nearly finished this pie in one sitting. So good and super easy to make. I can't wait to make this for my Mom who is mindful of her sugar levels."
"Made this for a friend whose husband is diabetic. I substituted 9 pkgs of Truvia for the 3 TBSP of sugar."
"I made this pie years ago when our children were young back in the 70's. Glad to see you are bringing them back with alterations for diabetics."
"Easy and quick to make. Delicious, refreshing for a light summer dessert. My hubby and son loved it. Added a couple drops of almond extract. Used Cool Whip!"

In good times and bad, for better and for worse, in sickness and in health, my husband and I have hosted and toasted family gatherings at Thanksgiving for over four and a half decades.
We've survived five children, challenging health threats, in-law and outlaw visits, numerous moves, career changes, and roller coaster stock market rides. Some years our glasses might be fuller than others, but there's always enough love and laughter to fill up the empty space.
One thing my family should be very grateful for is that my food preparation has improved over the years. The first "four-legged" turkey I served to my potential in-laws set the stage for future taste testing teasing. I was still matriculating at Regis College, concentrating more on the classics than any culinary pursuits, and it was the first time my parents invited my husband's family to Thanksgiving dinner. My contribution to the dinner centered on decorating the table as my mother wisely kept me out of her kitchen while she prepared the meal. No one in my immediate family cared much for turkey legs, but my male cousins used to fight over the crusty limbs. So, when I brought the turkey platter to the dinner table, I proudly proclaimed that there were two other legs out in the kitchen if anyone was interested. It was pretty apparent that I was majoring in English, not Home Economics, but luckily my foul-ish faux pas did not effect my impending engagement.
Growing up in New England, Thanksgiving Day always centered around frosty football games, crisp breezes, and blowing leaves. In contrast, our first Thanksgiving as a married couple was spent playing winter ball in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and preparing dinner in a primitive, un-air-conditioned efficiency hotel. Rather than the Wedgwood china and Waterford crystal I was accustomed to setting out at my parents home, I had to settle for mismatched plastic plates and jelly glasses, which were displayed buffet style on our aluminum table. Purchasing a paltry eight-pound turkey that would barely squeeze into our compact oven, I set out to prepare our post-game feast. Five other American winter baseball families shared the same less-than-luxurious accommodations and would join us for our first family-less feast. Always open to sharing her talents and resources Jane Decker, the trainer's wife next door, handed me a very strange looking object I politely accepted and brought back to our room questioning my husband as to what in the world this device was for. With a roll of his eyes and a resigned sigh, he picked up a spud and showed me how to use a potato peeler. Much to his relief, I have become skilled in adapting to both resources and recipes.
Over the years, many celebrations, crisis, and catharses occurred around Thanksgiving. We've had skinned knees, broken hearts, and broken bones; golf outings, soccer tournaments and walk-a-thons along with christenings, engagements and weddings. We've sailed over highways and skyped with our son-in-law in Iraq. One particularly stressful year we ate dinner out, but it didn't seem like a true Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone was on his/her best behavior, there were no unexpected uninvited guests, nothing was spilled on the table, no one's feelings were hurt – it was all way too civilized. Dining in an elegant restaurant does not allow for gut wrenching guffaws.
The more time a family spends together, the more we realize that time really is relative. So what if it's a day's drive. Who cares that hours of preparation are eaten up in minutes? Coming together for Thanksgiving dinner is all about slowing down and appreciating the strange and wonderful unique personalities that two sets of genes formed. Family, friends and four legged turkeys — that's the legacy of Thanksgiving.

Question of the Month: How to Know When Watermelons Are Ripe
Q. My watermelons are getting big and my mouth is watering! How do I know when to pick them so they are at their sweetest?
A. Many of us have heard that we should thump on our watermelons to tell if they're ripe. Supposedly a dull, hollow sound rather than a ringing tone indicates a melon ready to pick. The trouble is that the difference between "dull" and "ringing" isn't always clear.
Instead look for these clues that your watermelon is at its peak of ripeness. The curly tendrils on the stem near where it attaches to the fruit should have changed from light green to dry and brown. The spot on the bottom of the melon where it rested on the ground should be yellow, not light green or white. And the skin should have turned dull and be tough enough that its hard to dent with a thumbnail.

Hollywood cameraman insists he invented the celebrity selfie in 1981
LOS ANGELES - In the photographs, Lester Wisbrod is a constant: He always appears on the right, with a big smile and a satisfied look about him. On the left, a cavalcade of famous faces flashes by: Clint Eastwood, Jennifer Aniston, Charlton Heston, Renee Zellweger.
The A-listers look perfect, captured in a single moment of stardom. But as the photos flip by, it is Wisbrod who captivates. Crow's-feet deepen. Hair turns gray. Jowls set in.
It is a portrait of a life — an unvarnished one.
For more than two decades, the longtime Hollywood cameraman snapped photographs of himself and celebrities he'd meet on television sets. In all, Wisbrod has about 150 of the shots, most of them taken in the days before digital cameras, never mind mobile phones with front-facing lenses.
Ellen DeGeneres' famous photo of herself with several actors at the Oscars — which was actually snapped by Bradley Cooper — became the quintessential selfie in an Instagram world of cellphone auteurs, self-obsessed teens and celebrity culture. But Wisbrod insists he invented the celebrity selfie. And now he wants his due.
"Generally I am not that ostentatious," said Wisbrod, now 67 and semi-retired. "It just seems like it is bad form to be bragging. But what the hell."
Wisbrod began taking the photos in 1981, shortly after the introduction of Canon's Sure Shot 35-millimeter compact camera, one of the first autofocus models to hit the market. It would allow him to take a self-portrait that he could count on being in focus.
Still, his first Sure Shot selfie — with humorist Art Buchwald — came out blurry. But Wisbrod quickly got the hang of it, and termed the images "silly shots," though his friends would eventually call them "Lesters."
The photographs capture Hollywood in all of its mystifying allure. For every enduring star there's a has-been, and plenty of former cultural touchstones who long ago faded to obscurity. Viewing the images now makes Wisbrod wistful, and even a little bashful over having aged.
"I guess I was better-looking then than I thought I was," he deadpanned.
Wisbrod said he never harbored dreams of working in Hollywood, or cultivated a childhood interest in movie stars. He was raised in Oakland in a working-class family and joined the Air Force after high school. He served in Vietnam, working in radar operations.
In 1968, Wisbrod enrolled at Nevada Southern University (now UNLV) and, needing work, found a job listing posted by local television station KLAS-TV, which was looking for a cameraman. The gig paid $2 an hour.
He was soon hired and began work on the local broadcast of the children's show "Romper Room."
"I fell in love with it," Wisbrod said. "I could not believe my good fortune — it was glamorous, and it was fun."
He would later work at other Las Vegas television stations over the course of a decade. In 1979, Wisbrod moved to Los Angeles. A few years later, once he'd gotten a toehold in Hollywood, Wisbrod — who worked on shows including "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and "A Current Affair" — began taking selfies.
With time, Wisbrod developed a routine. First he'd "chat up" his subjects — many of whom he'd already been working with on assignment as a cameraman — before asking for a photo.
"That warms them up," he said, adding that celebrities nearly always obliged — and happily. Wisbrod was turned down only once.
He said "M*A*S*H" actress Loretta Swit told him he could have a photo only if someone else shot it. "I awkwardly withdrew," he said.
Many of the women in the images have their cheeks pressed up closely to Wisbrod. Several of the men have their arms draped around him. Wisbrod believes that the physical act of holding his trusty Sure Shot with an outstretched arm — which required he and his subject to gather closely — disarmed the seemingly untouchable actors.
"It just puts people in a whole different mood," he said.
Steve Domier, who worked with Wisbrod on television shoots in the 1980s and 1990s, said his colleague's approach was "unusual at the time, and it was novel."
"When you want a picture, you ask someone. Not Lester, because he is a cameraman," said Domier, vice president of distribution marketing for the CW Television Network. "He wanted control. And then he'd know how it'd come out."
There were technical aspects to the Lesters. Wisbrod, who'd almost always take a photo with just one other person, knew he'd need to hold the camera at least 18 inches from his face — the bare minimum for an auto-focusing camera. Wisbrod would also hold the camera at an angle slightly above him, "simply because it would tighten up my neck," he said, laughing.
On a recent afternoon, Wisbrod sat in the dining room of his woodsy Hollywood Hills home, shuffling through a file of old photos. He marveled at each, holding up the glossy 4-by-6 images and reciting the names of the celebrities. Sometimes, he couldn't remember them. Others triggered warm memories.
He flashed a picture with Steven Spielberg.
"Spielberg said: 'Are you sure you want to take it that way? You may not get another chance,'" Wisbrod recalled. The photo came out perfectly.
Admiring a picture with Anthony Hopkins, Wisbrod recounted having asked the "Silence of the Lambs" actor to autograph a bottle of Chianti — a playful nod to his turn in that film. (Hopkins obliged.)
A photo with President Ronald Reagan, taken after he'd left office, made Wisbrod chuckle.
"That was a tough one to get, because I had to slip in between the Secret Service and the dignity of the presidency," he said.

I got the parts and was wondering if anyone has even tried to make a working semi version.

I got the parts and was wondering if anyone has even tried to make a working semi version.
Check over on Weaponeer, they usually have a lot of conversion info on the various kits. Not much on the PPS43 yet, but I'm sure it will show up eventually. The lower is quite small vertically so I would think a striker fired system would be used instead of mounting a hammer type FCG. The sear and trigger mech is FA only, so that will have to be modified with a disconnector.
Another hurdle is receiver blueprints, haven't seen any yet. The trunnion will have to be fabricated also. The receiver itself looks like you just bend some sheet over a round bar, probably loking at a blocking bar to exclude the FA bolt.
wla has one in the works, they have a neat vid posted somewhere of it running
Wise Lite Arms? Supposed to have a semi available July.

Wand core
this wiki
|"Well, I think we should put it back in order for them, don't you?"
This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.
The core of a wand is a magical substance placed within the length of wood. They are usually bits of hair/feather extracted from some sort of Magical Being or Creature. The materials used for wand cores can vary widely, though certain wand-makers may prefer to use certain materials; for example, Garrick Ollivander discovered and pioneered the use of phoenix feathers, dragon heartstrings, and unicorn tail hairs, whereas his father used lesser substances such as Kelpie hair and Kneazle whisker.[1]
The wand always chooses the wizard or witch and not the other way around. This is a question that many who study wands called wandlore cannot understand or explain. It would seem that wands have in some sense of the word—a mind of their own. The Wand will never surrender itself to another easily either - something many in wandlore understand to some extent.
Known core materials
|Wands These Cores are Used in:
|Dragon heartstring
|Phoenix feather
|Unicorn tail hair
|Veela hair
|Thestral tail hair
|Troll whisker
|Dittany Stalk
|Thunderbird tail feather
|Wampus cat hair
|White River Monster spine
|Rougarou hair
Characteristics of wand core materials
|Core Material
|Known Wand-maker to use it
|Known Characteristics
|Dragon heartstring
|Powerful, easy to learn spells though can easily be committed to another owner
|Phoenix feather
|Learns most varied magic, hard to be chosen
|Unicorn tail hair
|Consistent magic, bonds strongly to first user
|Veela hair
|Kneazle whisker
|Not very powerful
|Dittany stalk
|Kelpie mane
|Easily obtainable, frequently used in the past
|Thestral tail hair
|Not easily seen
|Thunderbird tail feather[2]
|Extremely powerful, difficult to master, particularly prized by Transfigurers
|Wampus cat hair[2]
|White River Monster spine[2]
|Produces spells of force and elegance
|Rougarou hair[2]
|Rumoured to have an affinity for Dark magic, although suitable for use by non-Dark wizards and witches as well
The core type is known to influence the "personality" of the wand produced with it. For example, the wand-maker Garrick Ollivander will not use Veela hair for cores because he believes they make for "temperamental" wands. Thestral hair wands are also an interesting core, in that it cannot simply be "mastered" by winning them; Thestral tail hair is a powerful and tricky substance that can only be mastered by a witch or wizard capable of facing death (this was hence part of the reason why Voldemort had such trouble with it during the deathly Hallows).[3]
Another interesting feature of wands and their cores is that if two wands have cores from the same source — such as the wands of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, which both had cores comprised of a feather from Fawkes, Albus Dumbledore's phoenix[4] — they are said to be brothers. This can induce Priori Incantatem if the wands come into conflict with one another, such as casting different spells towards each other at roughly the same time.[5]
Prior to Ollivander's practice of using only the three "Supreme Cores", it was common for witches and wizards to present a wandmaker with a magical substance to which they had a particular attachment for use as a wand core. Such substances may have included Veela hair, Kneazle whiskers, Dittany stalks, or Kelpie manes.[6]
All wands cost seven galleons, regardless of core or wood[7]. Unicorn tail hair, however, is worth ten galleons a hair[8], as confirmed by Horace Slughorn in 1996. The reason for the drop in price when the hair is used in a wand is unknown, but the hair might be cut slightly to fit into the wand, thus decreasing its value.
Behind the scenes
- The Enchanted Feather Company is a company that presumably sells wand cores to wandmakers.
- It is thought by some that Thestral hair makes for a unique personality; completely dispassionate about its allegiance and showing no emotion towards the wizard, tying in with the many changes of hands that the Elder Wand (the only known Thestral hair wand in existence) has been through. It is also a wand that has been the instrument of death many times over, which some also believe is connected to its Thestral hair core (possibly inspiring murder in the heart of its beholder(s), since Thestrals have a strong connection to death, as does the origin of the wand itself). However, the many changes of allegiance that the Elder wand has had as well as its history of winning through murder may be simply a reflection on the nature of power itself, and the means people are willing to sink to in order to attain it.
- It should be noted that, concerning the wands of the Trio (Harry, Ron and Hermione), each wand has one of the three different cores used by Ollivander: Harry's wand has a phoenix feather, Ron's wands (both his first and second) have a unicorn hair and Hermione's wands (both hers and Bellatrix's) have a dragon heartstring.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by drumspirit Beautiful cabinet I ordered this cabinet to add some unique color and design to my living room. It was very heavy, so did need to get help getting it out of the carton and set up. It came in one piece and is very sturdy. I love the designs and elephant cutouts. A beautiful, well made piece of furniture. January 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorldBostonTerrier Lovely piece I love this cabinet/shelf. It loox so good in my living room. I get compliments on it. My neighbors ask me where I got it. It's good quality with lovely detail. The only thing about it that I don't care for is the fact that it is just a little bit wobbly. A small mount/chain came with it that screws into the wall & screws into the back of the cabinet/shelf for this reason. I haven't installed that yet, but I will later. I love the fact that there was no assembly required. It arrived as is. September 10, 2013

All things Mother Earth Living

It's a dilemma so many conscientious consumers face: You want to clean your home with the healthiest, nontoxic cleaners you can buy—and you're even willing to pay a little extra to keep nasty chemicals out of your home. But with so many labels claiming that cleaning products are green, how do you know you're spending your money wisely?
"Green" cleaning product sales quadrupled, from $17.7 million in 2003 to $64.5 million in 2008, according to Green Cleaning for Health, a white paper released this week by Air Quality Sciences (AQS). By 2013, green cleaner sales are expected to reach $623 million and account for 30 percent of the household cleaners market, compared with just 3 percent in 2008. Still, AQS reports, consumer awareness surrounding marketing claims for green cleaners is devastatingly low. "Many cleaning products lack substantiated green attributes, yet are alleged to be 'environmentally friendly,' or 'healthy,' causing confusion for consumers, facility managers, cleaning professionals-even manufacturers," says AQS vice president Tony Worthan.
Most consumers see "green cleaning" as a marketing buzzword, largely because no legal or regulatory definition of "green" or "green cleaning" exists, the report states. Consumers are also uncertain about whether or not green cleaning chemicals are safer and more effective than conventional cleaning products.
AQS conducted product emissions testing on conventional and green cleaning products for an Environmental Working Group study of cleaning supplies used in 13 California school districts. A room-size environmental chamber was cleaned twice, once with conventional and once with 'green' floor cleaner, window cleaner and general-purpose cleaner. The green cleaners released fewer measurable air contaminants and lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Conventional general purpose cleaners released six times more VOCs than their green counterparts. The green general purpose cleaner released one-fifth (20 percent) as many contaminants as the conventional general purpose cleaner. Overall, certified green products emitted one-half (50 percent) as many contaminants as conventional cleaning supplies.
Still, some certified green products released measurable levels of substances that could pose a risk to children's health. When used at full-strength, a well-known cleaner, which claims to be "non-toxic," gave off 93 different air contaminants. One disinfectant powder cleanser emitted 146 distinct chemicals.
To truly know what you're getting, the Consumer Products Specialties Association (CPSA) and the Sierra Club's Toxic Committee recommend buying only from manufacturers that provide complete ingredient disclosure for their products. Currently, manufacturers are required to list only hazardous ingredients in their Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Another good strategy is to purchase only those products that carry a recognized, legitimate certification label—but be careful. According to a 2010 TerraChoice report, more than 32 percent of green products carry a fake green label, an increase from 26.8 percent in 2009. Legitimate third-party certifying bodies conduct data reviews, auditing, and/or laboratory testing of products in accordance with industry-independent standards. For many years, Green Seal--which bases its criteria primarily on minimizing VOC content—has been the most recognized and respected certification program for cleaning products. Green Seal now includes GREENGUARD's certification criteria for industrial and institutional cleaners, based on VOC emissions rather than content. That's good news, as VOC emissions are the primary culprit behind many health problems associated with cleaning products.
The report offers the following brief summary of the U.S. certification programs that directly address cleaning:
GREENGUARD: The GREENGUARD Certification Program is an industry-independent, third-party testing and certification program for products that emit low levels of VOCs, formaldehyde, aldehydes, respirable particles and other indoor air pollutants.
Green Seal: Green Seal is an independent, nonprofit organization that identifies and promotes products and services that cause less toxic pollution and waste, conserve resources and habitats, and minimize global warming and ozone depletion.
Design for the Environment: The US Environmental Protection Agency created the Design for the Environmental (DfE) Program in 1992 to incorporate environmental considerations into decision-making processes. Manufacturers that meet sthe EPA's criteria for human and environmental health may place the DfE label on their products.

West Caldwell, NJ, June 9, 2011 - Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions, presented two high school students with the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award. Ricoh presented the award at the 2011 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world's largest pre-college science competition showcasing over 1,600 of the world's leading young talent and their independent scientific research projects. The winning students each received a $12,500 scholarship from Ricoh for their impressive technical innovations in Generating Clean Electrical Tidal Power and Solar Energy.The two recipients of this year's Ricoh Sustainable Development Award are Kyle Scott Saleeby, age 16, from Niceville High School in Niceville, FL, and Yinshuo Zhang, age 16, from Mankato West High School in Mankato, MN. Using an original waterwheel design, Kyle Saleeby produced usable quantities of clean electrical power from tidal water flow. He created his waterwheel out of recycled materials and optimized its operation through years of testing and the creation of a computer program for testing. Even in its prototype design, Kyle's one meter squared waterwheel is said to be able to produce enough energy to power LED streetlights over a 1,000 meter bridge in his hometown. The waterwheel's application goes well beyond tidal zones and can be used in areas with flowing water and, due to its small size, has limited interference with the surrounding environment. Yinshuo Zhang set out to design a low-cost solar energy system suitable to power a typical North American house. His unique design approximates the performance of parabolic concentrators using a series of much less expensive flat mirrors. Based on Yinshuo's prototype design, a 1.3 x 2.1 meter array could be the first residential concentrator photovoltaic system to achieve the observed levels of economy, versatility and environmental sustainability."This award is representative of Ricoh's continued commitment to education and innovation," stated Robert F. Whitehouse, Director, Environmental Management and Product Compliance, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "This year, we are proud to present this award to two well-deserving students who have successfully demonstrated the importance and feasibility of environmentally conscious and sustainable technology in today's society."The Intel ISEF provides a forum each May for high school students (grades 9-12) from more than 65 countries, regions and territories to showcase their independent research. Each year, millions of students worldwide compete in local and school-sponsored science fairs. The winners of these events go on to participate in Intel ISEF-affiliated regional and state fairs from which the best win the opportunity to attend the Intel ISEF. A team of judges from academia and business selected the winners of the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award.2011 marks the seventh consecutive year that Ricoh Americas Corporation has been providing scholarships to students whose projects best reflect the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) values of sustainability for organizational and societal success: economic, social, and environmental.The awards were presented on May 12, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California.

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the ninth, in 2002-03:
Directors' Cup No. 9 (2002-03) | 2002-03 Season In Photos
PERHAPS THE BEST part of winning 14 All-America honors and five NCAA track and field championships is that it helped give Lauren Fleshman a voice.
Fleshman, the former Stanford star who went on to win two U.S. titles, has taken advantage of that platform. Just recently, Fleshman stirred the track establishment by voicing her anger on the hiring of a former drug cheat to a U.S. national team coaching position. She also has spoken out about how model shoots, even one of herself, are unrealistic in their portrayal of women. It's important, she says, to be content and accepting of body imperfections.
But back in the spring of 2003, Fleshman was making history as the second-ever in NCAA women's track to win three consecutive national titles in the 5,000 meters. Aided by a pro-Stanford crowd in Sacramento, Fleshman made a decisive move with 300 left to earn the victory and, within months, was competing in France in the first of her three World Championship appearances for the national team.
Fleshman provided just one of many highlights during the Stanford sports year, as the Cardinal won its ninth consecutive Directors' Cup with a total of 1,420.5 points, surpassing the runner-up, Texas by 326.5. Stanford won a national championship in men's cross country and had 16 top-10 finishes, with nine teams finishing among the top five.
Stanford teams placing in the top five were women's cross country (2nd), women's volleyball (2nd), women's tennis (2nd), baseball (2nd), men's soccer (2nd), men's swimming and diving (3rd), men's tennis (3rd), and women's soccer (5th). The Cardinal recorded points in the maximum of 10 women's and 10 men's sports, and averaged 71 points per sport.
The Cardinal baseball team reached its third College World Series championship game in four seasons, finished with a 51-18 record, tying for third on the school's all-time win list, and captured its first outright Pac-10 title since 1999.
At the CWS, the Cardinal battled back from a second round loss to Cal State Fullerton to win its bracket and extend national champion Rice to a third and deciding game in the inaugural CWS Championship Series.
A star-studded Stanford team included eight future major leaguers – Sam Fuld, Ryan Garko, John Hester, Jed Lowrie, Donny Lucy, John Mayberry Jr., Danny Putnam, and Carlos Quentin – and 21 future pros.
Garko hit .402 (the team's highest average in 12 years), tied the Stanford season record with 92 RBI, and had more home runs (18) than strikeouts (17). He won the Johnny Bench Award as the nation's top catcher, was the Pac-10 co-Player of the Year, a first-team All-America, the region's Most Outstanding Player, and an All-CWS selection.
* * *
More highlights from 2002-03:
• Stanford won its third NCAA men's cross country title, scoring 47 points in coach Vin Lananna's final season. Lananna coached the Cardinal to four NCAA cross country titles (three men's and one women's), and the men to the 2000 outdoor track and field championship during his 10 years.
• Stanford reached its second men's soccer final, only to fall to UCLA, 1-0, on a goal in the 88th minute. Both defender Todd Dunivant, a first-team All-America, and Chad Marshall would go on to play for the U.S. national team.
• Goalkeeper Nicole Barnhart set an NCAA women's soccer record with 18 shutouts in a season. Barnhart allowed only four goals (0.19 goals-against average) in 2,047 minutes while leading the Cardinal to a 21-1-1 record and a berth in the NCAA quarterfinals.
• Grant Robison became the third Stanford runner in four years to win the NCAA men's outdoor 1,500-meter title in track and field.
• Ten-time All-America Alicia Craig won first of her two consecutive 10,000 track crowns.
• Amber Liu won the first of her two NCAA women's singles championships in 2003, and would become the fourth-ever at Stanford to win more than one.
• Peter Marshall won the NCAA title in the 100-yard backstroke, helping the Cardinal to third in the NCAA men's swimming and diving championships.
• Tara Kirk won the 100 and 200 breaststroke at the NCAA women's swimming and diving championships.
• Stephanie Joukoff, Jennifer Kibler, and Ashley McHugh combined to win the U.S. collegiate synchronized swimming title in trio.
The Final Count:
1) Stanford, 1,420.5
2) Texas, 1,094
3) Ohio State, 1,074.8
4) Michigan, 1,034.3

New legislators could soon serve county residents
Published: Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 2:12 p.m.
Three people represent Davidson County in the North Carolina General Assembly, and three others represent the county in Congress. One-third of that representation could change soon — and not due to a regularly scheduled election. U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D-12th, has been nominated by President Obama to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency. State Rep. Jerry Dockham, R-Davidson, has been nominated by Gov. Pat McCrory to the N.C. Utilities Commission; he could start his new post July 1 if approved by the Legislature, a likely scenario.
An election would be held to fill Watt's post while the Davidson County Republican Party would choose someone to take Dockham's position. Jockeying is already beginning for both seats. Whoever ends up taking over the positions will be replacing long-time legislators: Watt has served 20 years in the U.S. House while Dockham is serving his 12th term in the state House. Davidson County residents know Dockham's replacement will come from the county, as representatives must live in the district. But if Watt is confirmed and leaves his seat, his replacement will probably come from a county in the 12th District with more Democratic voters.
Lexington residents heard good news and bad news during the city council's budget work sessions this week. The good: the property tax rate, which rose 4 cents to 60 cents per $100 evaluation in this fiscal year, will remain the same in the coming year — no big surprise since 2013 will see municipal elections. But utility rates will go up 5.7 percent, which works out to about $90 per year. City officials say outside forces are driving the rate, although they promise to seek ways to mitigate future hikes.
Competing health care organizations aren't unusual in large cities, but direct competition is more unusual in smaller ones like Lexington. Novant Health made a move this week to fill a void by opening a PrimeCare location on Cotton Grove Road. Wake Forest Baptist Health closed its urgent care facility, MedChoice, about a year ago. An urgent care facility fills an important role for those in need of medical assistance, so PrimeCare has a chance to be successful in the city.
Congratulations goes out to the 24 Lexington Middle School students honored Thursday by the Lexington Human Relations Commission. The commission applauded the students for serving as role models in demonstrating positive character traits. In a time when bullying can be a real problem in schools, the students provide an important counterpoint and serve as an example to their classmates for appropriate behavior.

The final installment in Araki's hypersexed-soundtrack-driven coming-of-age trilogy that started 15 years ago at Sundance with The Doom Generation lays out for its audience a how-to. How to bring back soap and how to bring up the next gen of It actors.
Araki, whose defining '90s style gave rise to then-fresh faces Rose McGowan, Jonathon Schaech, Parker Posey and Kathleen Robertson - builds an ensemble-of-tomorrow cast with his Kaboom players: Haley Bennett, Thomas Dekker, Chris Zylka and this fest's one to watch, Juno Temple (Kaboom, Dirty Girl, Bastard).
The ensemble may never again get the kind of Gen-Me '40s-laced-with-hormones dialogue Araki gives, but each with yesterday's Abercrombie-catalogue pout and a proclivity for not overselling irony will do well to cut out the smarm and shine in the more substantive post-Araki life.
But let's not undermine the provocative Araki's ability to still jab the vain of the uber-sexed and always-funny actions of the unloved in time to the kick-assness of shoegazer repose.
But it's not just about the youth movement: Araki unearths Roadhouse veteran Kelly Lynch who takes a turn as the hyper-LA-based ex of a cult founder always chirping witticisms and pragmatic single-mom advice to her disaffected bi-sexual protagonist son (via Bluetooth - nice touch). Her turn was worth the price of popcorn for this movie which - set against the commissioned industrial-modish dorm, paths, pathos and beaches of UCSD - is simply pretty. Pretty wise.
Taut eye candy with a more-than-satisfying ending punctuating the splitscreens, mask-wearing, libido-driven, iconoclastic (any more critic-word superlatives? Fill in the blank...) pop art project juxtaposed against witchcraft, SoCal faux surferdom, indie-hippishness and a dorm microwave is what you get with Araki's final installment before he and his cast - purportedly - grow up.
Kaboom may not take home any Jury prizes, but it's a Sundance '11 keeper.

Updating to include the Zend_Validate component, as this isn't specific to Zend_Form.
A number of validators include the original value passed to them when creating error messages. We should likely have a way to suppress such functionality on demand; if we did, the Password form element could set this on validators prior to running isValid().
One possibility is to modify Zend_Form_Element_Password::getMessages() to strip out the value:
// use raw value, as that is what is sent to validator
$value = $this->getRawValue();
$messages = array();
foreach ($this->_messages as $key => $message) {
$messages[$key] => str_replace($value, '', $message);
return $messages;
While not an ideal solution, it would likely only be used once per request. It is prone to potential error.
For now, you can very easily modify the messages by passing a 'messages' option to the validator options, with key value pairs of error codes => messages (this can be done from a config, as well).
Additionally, you can use a Zend_Translate_Adapter to translate error codes to messages; when you attach a translate adapter to a form, it will then translate the error messages accordingly.
Yeah, I've used my own code to work around that with deployable code, but now that it's being merged with what will probably be a very popular module (Building forms from a config file = brilliant) I think it would be a good idea to have a way to hide the password. I can help out with that, of course, but I think it would be prudent to have it added before 1.5 goes GA.
I would suggest substituting *'s for each character in the $value string as the default. Seeing
'****' is less then 6 characters long
seems more intuitively understandable for the user then
'' is less then 6 characters long
which suggests a programming problem in my opinion.
Done as of r7916.

Im just glad I have Homan as my bodyguard, Eustachy joked. If I ever make it real big and get to drive a limo everyday, hell be driving it. I thought he came off the bench like somebody was stealing his cow or something.

This thread was actually made much better by the fact that bringmagicback is on my ignore list. I didn't fall for whatever he did. All I see is the hate.
