When I told my friend about my weekend, she flatly informed me with thinly-veiled horror that it was "bizarre." I'm on the fence about the term. You, gentle reader, can be the judge. Let's pretend the weekend started on Wednesday where I was eagerly awaiting a performance by Kid Cudi at Left Village bar Le Royale. The whole hourly-motel air makes my head hurt (where do establishments still get mirrored walls after 1978?). Anyway, I was excited to see Kid Cudi hit the stage because his MySpace page be poppin' with his spacey brew of intergalactic hoodness. But live…wow. He rocked the crowd with all the vibrancy of a Saltine. His stage presence was desperate and inelegant. Overall, crappy. There was a lot of shouting out "peoples" that helped him through the struggle. Once again, desperate. The anti-climactic set wrapped up at midnight as the crowd unceremoniously filed out into the stinging cold.
The bizarreness really cropped up Thursday evening when I saw author and Rolling Stone contributing editor Anthony DeCurtis interview Mos Def at the 92nd Street Y. Mos ruminated on everything from his childhood ("too much basketball" nurtured his interest in acting) to his reservations about the good life (using the complimentary Bentley shuttle at a snooty hotel was a trifle much). He spoke with candid wit, dazzling the crowd with low-key astuteness and even previewing a freshly recorded track from his upcoming album, The Ecstatic. However, the question and answer period devolved into bedlam as the restless crowd began to claw at lofty echelons of inappropriateness. Shouts of "next question!!" rang out as an older woman told Mos his music had changed her son's life. A fan behind me kept screeching "Mos!!" arbitrarily (or perhaps for the optimal annoyance factor) in my ear. Brassy women began loudly interrupting each other, vying recklessly for Mos' attention. There was a bit of a "WTF" factor watching grown people ready to wrassle each other for some eye contact with Mos Def.
Friday night, I hit one of my favorite bizarro events, Flavorpill's One Step Beyond jump-off featuring DJ Jazzy Jeff at the Natural History Museum (Rockin' next to rock formations just never loses it's heady "where-the-eff-am-I" appeal). This time, instead of the usual infestation of downtowners it was very grown n' sexy: lots of wizened uptown cats and fly broads who bought "Summertime" on vinyl. The vibe was much more "family cookout" than "tight pants competition." Jazzy played it safe but his comfort hits straddled a gang of genres. There was Crystal Waters' never-say-die dance jam, "Gypsy Woman," Mims' mind-numbing ode to braggadocio, "This Is Why I'm Hot," and Dee-Lite's sunny heart-pumper, "Groove Is In The Heart." The brazenly cool, Retro Kids made an appearance, bedecked in parachute pants, split-level fades and jocular dance moves that made the early '90s the hotness. Between the Kids, Jazzy and the tunes, it was like 1992 came back for a quick spin around the planetarium. I was entertained.
The actual weekend was a furious blur of hookah smoke, karaoke, Sparks and disco as my posse and I decamped to this loopy loft party in the Brooklyn. One minute I was chatting up locals in a plastic spaceship, the next precariously creeping down an iron ladder in my pin-thin stilettos and later screeching on stage to an oddly captive audience with my boozy pals. When we finally stumbled out of the rabbit-hole into the pale dawn sunlight, we cabbed it to my friend's Midtown hotel and ordered $17 fried chicken. However, I wasn't licked yet and spent Sunday afternoon with my artist friend, Alexis Peskine in Hoboken, NJ (aka Stepford. I mean, is that place serious?) who asked me to pose for a painting. It was slightly disorienting to discuss the tension in the "subject's" face when the image was my own surly mug.
Since I went this far without sleep I decided to keep the party going by hitting up the 718 Sessions with Danny Krivit. If anyone is deserving of a loyal groupiedom it is Krivit. He spun my brains into jelly with tons of extended mixes of plucky disco and early '90s Euro-house. As I bounced to the beat, I felt like I was in the New York you see in movies. Lots of dark corners, never-ending vocal house and people having moments on the dance floor. This wasn't a pageant where everyone is casing each other but a party where people swayed to the music with their eyes shut. Bizarre must be another word for "damn good time."

Next Five Years Crucial to Energy Storage
Prices Must Fall
Energy storage is getting a bump in the president's proposed 2013 budget. It's an extra boost that the industry says that it needs to get out of the lab and into market. Just how far off is the concept whereby such stored power is released when the wind dies down or the sun doesn't shine?
It's here now. But some major hurdles are blocking wide scale deployment. Balancing the electricity load is difficult. Storage devices, if they can be shown to work at commercial scale, would be a huge boon to an industry that is trying to advance renewable power. It can help utilities avoid downtime and thereby save billions in lost opportunities while also allowing such companies to sell blocks of peak power at premium prices.
"The choice we face as a nation is simple: Do we want the clean energy technologies of tomorrow to be invented in America by American innovators, made by American workers and sold around the world, or do we want to concede those jobs to our competitors? asks Energy Secretary Steven Chu. "We can and must compete for those jobs."
The amount of money that would be allotted to clean energy, generally, would climb by 2.3 percent from the 2012 budget to the 2013 budget. The White House says that such an increase, albeit small, is still making a significant statement with respect to President Obama's commitment to renewables and green technologies.
Specifically, he is asking that $27 billion go toward all of the Energy Department's endeavors. Of that, $60 million would be targeted to researching and expanding the uses for energy storage systems. That's on top of the $185 million provided to 16 separate storage projects via the 2009 stimulus plan.
A KEMA study is forecasting that if the technology is given the right financial incentives then 2-4 gigawatts of energy storage would be developed in five years. The study also says that the cost of the now-expensive storage will drop.
To reach the size and scale that is needed to cut prices, the Electricity Storage Association is advocating for tax and financial incentives like the investment or production tax credits given to wind and solar, which may not get renewed after this year. It also wants to see energy storage included in the Obama administration's clean energy standards as well as renewable portfolio standards that are now set at the state level.
"The next five years will be critical and provide enormous opportunity to move storage technologies to full commercialization," says Brad Roberts, executive director of the storage group.
White House Supportive
To be clear, storage devices come in many forms: The most prevalent ones today are batteries that link to the transmission grid where they siphon off power at night, and store it. It is then dispatched during the day when prices rise. Then there's the fast-response flywheels, and a deviation of that called kinetic energy storage that is practical for short-term needs.
Beyond those tools, there's also compressed air energy storage that holds air underground and releases it in heated form to create electricity. And there's the mature pumped hydro storage, whereby turbines push water into reservoirs at night and then let it go during the day when demand is highest.
The younger products are now relatively expensive and it is still unknown how they would operate in a commercial setting. If they are to be cost effective, they must be able to offer other services, say experts. Until then, the federal government will partner with private industry to help foster this sector.
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has applied for a grant from the Energy Department to, among other things, help get lithium ion batteries into hybrids and all-electric vehicles, as well as get them connected to solar cells and windmills.
"However, safety of the technology is still a concern, service life is not yet sufficient, and costs are too high," the lab says, noting that its efforts would serve to break down those barriers.
In a talk with this reporter, Celgard President Mitch Pulwer said that the lithium ion technology is effective now. But he adds that governmental assistance is needed for the advanced battery industry to ratchet up production and enable a supply chain, all of which will help reduce prices for batteries -- a tool that also has powerful applications for the utility industry.
"The challenge with the grid is that the load is not uniform," adds Gary Rackliffe, with ABB Inc., in an interview. "Energy storage balances those demands and addresses the issue of variability."
Energy storage's potential could be short-circuited unless the price of the technology starts to fall. The White House sees the possibilities, garnering the thanks of an industry that also wants parity with other clean tech investments.

Storage crucial next five years
The Energy Biz article and energy industry in general fails to recognize biomass as an energy storage medium. Green plants collect solar energy and, through photosynthesis, convert it to chemical energy which is stored and easily converted to electricity, heat, transportation fuel, other biobased chemical products, and even a fuel for fuel cells. Conversion of biomass stored chemical energy to other forms of energy can be done while the sun isn't shining, while the wind isn't blowing, when the tide is in or out, and whenever someone wants to make the chemical to physical energy conversion. Biomass can be stored on the stump, wood pile, or pellets, in the case of woody vegetation, or it can be stored in large bales, in the case of grass or stover. Of all the ways in which solar energy can be stored, biomass storage should be high on the list of alternative energy storage options. Furthermore, integration of biomass storage with other technologies for collecting solar energy, ie wind, hydro, photovoltaics, and other chemical storage is an opportunity that should be recognized and explored more fully. Hope this comment will help resolve this crucial need in the next five years.
The most prevalent form of energy storage...
The most prevalent form of energy storage is thermal energy storage. It is a disruptive technology for smart buildings. Hot water heaters and ice storage for cooling buildings provide energy storage on the customer side. With advances in smart grid software we will see less dumb buildings and instead smart grid buildings that can communicate and engage with the grid without customers losing any comfort or convenience. Not to mention, air-conditioning which is the main source of on peak demand can be offset directly by energy storage that stores cooling in buildings. Flatter building loads means more stability for the grid, no matter what the energy source.
Deployment Won;t Necessarily Lead to Lower Costs
I agree with the commenter that noted how foolish it is to subsidize deployment of storage technologies that are not ready for commercialization. Efficient supply chains are not the problem. Some technologies like pumped storage do not get cheaper with scale production. Others, like batteries, haven't proved their longevity, but there are all sorts of ideas floating around for improving some of the basic chemical formulations. It makes sense to move those ideas forward before deploying a bunch of costly white elephants.
Making storage viable isn't simply about spending money in hopes something good will happen. It's about spending money in smart ways that advance the state-of-the-art so that scale deployments are successful.

Next Five Years Crucial to Energy Storage
The US electric system has a load factor of under 50%. Said another way, if consumers could even out consumption over a 24 hour period, our generation abilities can provide twice as much power as is needed. Of course even consumption is not possible. Most of the peak that does occur, and requires generation and transmission to expand, is due to air conditioning.
Air conditioning is one of the easiest loads to move, and when you do move the cooling load, the energy is stored. It is a form of energy storage! Energy storage for cooling has been around a long time. Estimates tag cooling to be responsible for over 40% of peak demand, Energy storage for cooling, ice or water, is reliable and it is affordable, yet it is never mentioned in the same breath as electric storage. It costs a less to store a btu than the electron required to create it! Thermal energy storage (TES) should be mentioned and included in any storage discussion because it is reliable, dependable, dispatchable, and affordable. Even with these attributes, TES is overlooked.
Nighttime charging of cooling storage uses efficient clean night time generation reducing source fuel consumption in most cases. Nigttime charging of cooling storage provides a load for west Texas wind farms and others, for example, where the wind blows more during the night time. Daytime discharging of cooling storage lowers demand and can kick in to help support PV generation on cloudy days.
Just in time consumption of electricity for cooling is waste of capital and generation and transmission resources. Thermal energy storage is affordable and reliable and lasts for 30 years or more, but it is not "sexy" enough to be mentioned with batteries and other technologies. This thinking is very shortsided. TES could shift a large portion of summer, spring and fall consumption. Other storage technologies will of course be needed but please don't forget about TES!
Use of taxpayer money
I still have difficulty seeing how we can justify giving taxpayer money to private companies to deploy technology that is not fully developed. I can see using taxpayer dollars to support R&D that gets an energy technology developed and optimized then either sells that technology to the highest bidder or gives it to all participants in the particular field for them to compete with each other over deploying. That is what the space program and military research programs did for the country--came up with new technological advancements that entrepeneurs or established companies turned into products that were in demand or that increased efficiency of generating power. Giving money to firms to make up for the difference in the economics of their technology versus existing technology will, I believe, slow the pace of developing the technology because the firms will be more intent on putting out uneconomical technology in order to get the tax credits or cash grants--and unfortunately opens the door to fraud as the developers or the producers of the equipment may inflate the costs in order to get more grant money.

PowerwoRx is a great addition to any battery back up system that is incorporated either residentually or to your commercial facility. When you lose power from the grid and your back up system kicks in you can experience higher than normal spikes in voltage damaging your electrical assets. This can also acure with back up generators. PowerowRx will work for you to even out the voltage spikes giving you better quality power to your assets saving you money and downtime of costly equipment failure.

Winner of the 21st Royal Society Prize for Science Books
Sale Price:
In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a landmark report projecting average global surface temperatures to rise between 1.4° and 5.8° Celsius (roughly 2-10° Fahrenheit) by the end of this century. Based on this forecast, author Mark Lynas outlines what to expect from a warming world, degree by degree.
At one degree Celsius, most coral reefs and many mountain glaciers will be lost. A three-degree rise would spell the collapse of the Amazon rainforest, disappearance of Greenland's ice sheet, and the creation of deserts across the Midwestern United States and southern Africa. A six-degree increase would eliminate most life on Earth, including much of humanity.
Based on authoritative scientific articles, the latest computer models, and information about past warm events in Earth history, Six Degrees promises to be an eye-opening warning that humanity will ignore at its peril. Possibly the most graphic treatment of global warming that has yet been published, this compelling book uses accessible journalistic prose to distill what environmental scientists portend about the consequences of human pollution for the next 100 years.
Mark Lynas, a journalist, campaigner, and broadcast commentator on environmental issues, is the author of High Tide: News from a Warming World. He is a contributor to periodicals including New Statesman, Ecologist, Granta, and Geographical, and to the Guardian and Observer newspapers in the United Kingdom.
"...compulsively readable... Lynas offers hard-nosed calculations...and estimates that we have seven years to get it right."starred review, Booklist
"Want to spend a few evenings hiding under the covers in abject fear? Might we suggest the new nonfiction book about global warming."Wired
"More factual than hysterical and using accessible language, the author portrays a sobering, but broad and fascinating, view of the problem. Anyone studying climate change will find this a helpful reference as much current research has been precompiled and interpreted within one resource."School Library Journal

I had a backorder placed with Basspro.com for some .223 and 9mm ammunition. Everything was fine for two months. I called to check on the order status periodically. I called them a few days ago and was told that it should be filling any day. I checked my order status online today and the order was deleted.
I called basspro and the first woman I spoke to told me the ammunition was no longer being manufactured and therefore could not get it. After I hung up I thought it was strange that two different manufacturers would stop producing their product on the same day.
I called back and spoke with a second lady. She told me that in fact that was not true and that they changed their policy to in-store only. I explained that they should still honor my order since I placed it before they changed their rules. She apologized and you can imagine what she said (demand etc.) I also spoke with a woman in customer service who told me the exact same thing. There was nothing they could do for me.
Basically what I see here is my ammo was ready to ship and they decided to divert it to customers at their stores. Is there anything I can do? There might be some ammo in it for you. Thank you...

Wow it's perfect! I am so in love with that turquoise cart! I think this just shows how beautiful a normal kitchen in a normal affordable home can be. I say this because it looks like it started out like many of the kitchens in the builder-grade homes I've seen but taken to a whole other level. I may be wrong - but I think this could be easily replicated in many people's homes, and there really is nothing as cheerful as a pop of turquoise and yellow! It's gorgeous - I want it!

The PLNU speech and debate team's competitive intercollegiate season has now drawn to a close with their last tournament. But the team went out with a bang at National Parliamentary Debate Nationals, hosted by Colorado College in Colorado Springs March 16 - 20.
The team ended the year as the third highest ranked school in the yearlong nationwide sweepstakes. There were hundreds of colleges and universities competing from across the nation, all in one large division at NPDA, including schools like UCLA, Cal Berkeley, and the United States Air Force Academy.
At the NPDA National Championships, the six teams representing PLNU were ranked the 8th top program at the national championship tournament sweepstakes, a ranking that counts your top four teams against all the other program's top four teams at the tournament, all competing within one senior division. PLNU has had many strong teams in the past that have not even cracked the top ten awards in that category. PLNU's 1999 team won the top spot in this particular category.
Senior and team co-president Daniel Nadal was one of only three debaters in the nation selected to this year's All American Parliamentary Debate Team. Nadal was awarded this honor based on his forensics success, high academics, and service to the community. He is now choosing which law school to attend next year.
The team of Ashley Nuckels and Ian Sharpels advanced to the double Octa Final round, and the team of Daniel Nadal and James Wilson advanced to the Triple Octa Final round. Their winning records in preliminary rounds allowed them to participate in the elimination rounds. Three of PLNU's other teams missed that opportunity by only one round.
On March 19, Dr. Doretha O'Quinn, associate dean in PLNU's School of Education and director of the Arcadia Regional Center, was honored as an outstanding African American Educator by Phi Delta Kappa, an international professional association for educators. The honor was based upon her current work at PLNU in reaching out to urban schools, previous work at Biola University and Azusa Pacific University, her publishing, and service to the wider church as a part of the board of directors for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
Read more about the impact of Dr. O'Quinn in this year's annual report.
The PLNU Speech and Debate Team just won the National Championship in Debate Sweepstakes, scoring double the number of sweepstakes points of the second place school in the Debate Division of the Christian College Nationals. PLNU also won Second Place Sweepstakes in the combined division of Speech and Debate at this 2011 National Christian College Forensics Association (NCCFA) Championship Tournament, hosted at Azusa Pacific University March 11-13.
Senior Daniel Nadal, co-president of the team was named top speaker in the nation, in the Open Division of Parliamentary Debate, and all nine of the PLNU teams entered in Parliamentary Debate advanced to the elimination rounds through posting winning records in preliminary rounds.
In Lincoln Douglas debate, PLNU students won several individual national champion titles as well. MacLean Andrews is the national champion in the senior division. Also noteworthy is two brand new, walk-on debaters this year (with no previous high school debate experience), Ben Carney and Brian Bentley, were both named co-national champions after winning their respective semifinal rounds in Lincoln Douglas debate, advancing to the final round in that division's bracket.
The team has one last National Championship tournament this year. It will be at Colorado College, Colorado Springs.

PLNU's annual Writer's Symposium by the Sea has brought quite a few eye and ear catching names to campus. This year is no different.
On Wednesday, Lynn Vincent, New York Times best-selling writer of books like Same Kind of Different as Me and Sarah Palin's Going Rogue: An American Life, held an afternoon workshop on collaborative writing. In Wednesday's chapel, Mary Karr, author and memoirist of Lit: A Memoir and The Liars' Club, shared the story of her turbulent life.
On Thursday night, lyricist and musician Chris Hillman joined a conversation with Karl Martin and performed an acoustic concert. He has impacted, perhaps even defined, country rock by his work in The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Hillman also led a lyric writing workshop Thursday afternoon.
Friday, Rob Bell, founder of Mars Hill Church and a powerful voice in Christian spirituality, will have a conversation with Dean Nelson.

At PLNU, Dave Bruno is the manager of online marketing. Online, he is somewhat of a sensation. And recently, his new book, The 100 Thing Challenge: How I Got Rid of Almost Everything, Remade My Life, and Regained My Soul, is garnering some major attention.
In 2007, Dave and his family did some summer cleaning. When he looked around his garage, he started to feel swamped with stuff - stuff he rarely or never used. So he began to minimize, all the way down to 100 things. He vowed to keep his personal belongings (not counting his family's belongings) at or below that number. He called his undertaking "The 100 Thing Challenge" and began writing about it on his blog, guynameddave.com. From the echoing responses, it seemed like a lot of people all around the world felt trapped by things.
His blog has launched numerous opportunities for Dave to share his story and open up an important conversation about why we feel we need things and what freedom can be found when we minimize them. He's been featured in Time magazine, on Oprah.com, the 700 Club, and in numerous other media outlets.
He and his readers are still taking up the greater challenge "to fight American-style consumerism."

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Fertilize with Epsom Salts
by Charlie Nardozzi
Spray a solution of Epsom salts to quickly boost magnesium levels in leaves
After working with home gardeners for more than 10 years, I know that they love to use home remedies on their plants. From setting out beer traps for slugs to hanging bars of soap to repel deer, if the household product seems to work, gardeners try it. That's why I was intrigued by the often-mentioned idea of using Epsom salts as a fertilizer.
Gardeners apply it to tomatoes, peppers, and roses, hoping to produce more flowers, greener plants, and higher yields. You can use it to improve magnesium content if you know you have a soil that's deficient in that element, but home gardeners are most likely to apply Epsom salts to peppers, tomatoes, and roses.
I wanted to find out if it really works and learn the best ways to apply it for best growth, so last summer I asked some of our test gardeners (home gardeners who tested seeds and products for National Gardening) to test Epsom salts' effects on plant growth and vigor by applying it to pepper plants and roses. Then I talked to researchers about using the salts as fertilizer. Here's what I found out.
The History and Science of Epsom Salts
This natural mineral, discovered in the well water of Epsom, England, has been used for hundreds of years, not only to fertilize plants but to treat a range of human and animal ailments. Who hasn't soaked sore feet in it at least once?
Chemically, Epsom salts is hydrated magnesium sulfate (about 10 percent magnesium and 13 percent sulfur). Magnesium is critical for seed germination and the production of chlorophyll, fruit, and nuts. Magnesium helps strengthen cell walls and improves plants' uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.
Sulfur, a key element in plant growth, is critical to production of vitamins, amino acids (therefore protein), and enzymes. It's also the compound that gives vegetables such as broccoli and onions their flavors. Sulfur is seldom deficient in garden soils in North America because acid rain and commonly used animal manures contain sulfur, as do chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate.
The causes and effects of magnesium deficiencies vary. Vegetables such as beans, peas, lettuce, and spinach can grow and produce good yields in soils with low magnesium levels, but plants such as tomatoes, peppers, and roses need high levels of magnesium for optimal growth. However, plants may not show the effects of magnesium deficiency until it's severe. Some common deficiency symptoms are yellowing of the leaves between the veins, leaf curling, stunted growth, and lack of sweetness in the fruit.
Magnesium tends to be lacking in old, weathered soils with low pH, notably in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Soils with a pH above 7 and soils high in calcium and potassium also generally have low magnesium levels. Calcium and potassium compete with magnesium for uptake by plant roots, and magnesium often loses. Sometimes, a soil test will show adequate magnesium levels in soil, but a plant grown in that soil may still be deficient because of that competition.
Gardeners add magnesium when they apply dolomitic lime to raise the soil's pH. However, this product (46 percent calcium carbonate, 38 percent magnesium carbonate) breaks down slowly, and the calcium can interfere with magnesium uptake. For soils with a pH above 7, many gardeners use Sul-Po-Mag (22 percent sulfur, 22 percent potassium, 11 percent magnesium) to increase magnesium. Although dolomitic lime and Sul-Po-Mag are inexpensive ways to add magnesium, Epsom salts' advantage over them is its high solubility.
When diluted with water, and especially when applied as a foliar spray, Epsom salts can be taken up quickly by plants. Epsom salts' magnesium content, high solubility, and ease of application as a foliar spray are the main reasons for the positive results many gardeners see in their plants.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter/Spring 2009 issue.
Growing up in Mexico without playing the game of Loteria is as inconceivable as growing up north of the border without dreaming of a trip to Disneyland. Similar to Bingo, Loteria is a game of images, words and chance, involving a deck of 54 cards, each with a different image. The most popular version of this game, produced by Don Clemente, Inc., features images so widespread, they have reached iconic status throughout Mexico and the rest of the world.
La Malagua, a local art collective, has taken it upon themselves to preserve this Mexican tradition by producing their own version of this traditional game. And in doing so, they have managed to take their individual artistic statements out of the conventional gallery space and into the hands (literally) of the public at large.
The game of Loteria can be traced back to 15th-century Europe, reaching Mexico during the late 1700s by way of colonial settlers from Spain. It was first embraced by the Mexican aristocracy but soon gained popularity with the masses. By the early 20th century, it was not uncommon for traveling fairs to go from pueblo to pueblo, where locals would flock to play the game.
There are 10 boards to each game, each with a random selection of 16 images. As images are called, players place a bean on top of each matching image on their board. The first person to fill the board wins the game. Whereas Bingo numbers are randomly drawn from a round wire cage, Loteria features a caller (or griton) who draws cards and announces their names to the players.
To make things even more interesting, the caller improvises riddles, often in verse form, and it is up to the players to guess what card is being called. For example, instead of calling "La Estrella" (the star), a caller might announce "La guia de los marineros," or "the sailors' guide." While not essential to the game, calling the verses is probably the most colorful aspect of it, for different versions of them have evolved through time, from innocent riddles to naughty ones, full of double entendre.
Working together for over a decade, Yesika Felix, Ireri Topete, Sergio Martinez and Fernando Sanchez, otherwise known as Colectivo La Malagua, are a rarity: four local artists working and evolving together, sometimes participating in joint projects, other times separately, sometimes disagreeing, often learning from one another. "The idea of embracing the game of Loteria as an artistic challenge can be traced back to 2001," said Ireri Topete. Drawing from different sources, such as mythical beings (cupid, demon, siren), nature (sun, moon, parrot) and ordinary folk (the drunk, the dandy, the Indian), the challenge would provide ample opportunity for the artists to meld their own styles with the existing images.
La Malagua's intriguing tribute to the Huichol, titled "Zitakua-Malagua, Emerging Graphics," found its way to the Mexican Consulate in Chicago in 2007, by way of the sister-city relationship between Puerto Vallarta and Hyde Park, IL. It was during this exhibition that Milwaukee-based Latino Arts, Inc., an organization dedicated to promoting Hispanic culture, made a formal invitation to La Malagua to produce an exhibition based on the game of Loteria, to be displayed in 2009.
Just as in a card game, the artists shuffled and dealt the cards among themselves, thus determining which ones they would tackle. Each artist would use their favorite technique to create the images, with the only boundaries being that all finished pieces had to be the same size and vertically oriented. Miguel Perez, a US-based collaborator to the collective, asked to be part of the project, so each participant relinquished a card to him. It was fortuitous that Perez was unable to fulfill his task on schedule, leaving the image of "El Musico," or "the musician," unfinished. Perhaps it was fate that this circumstance would allow La Malagua to incorporate their own image onto the game's vernacular as a substitute.
But beyond the images of La Loteria themselves, La Malagua's intention included using the project as an educational vehicle. The sale of several of the project's original paintings (many of which are still available for purchase!) allowed for the production of 1,000 boxed sets, featuring an oversized deck of cards, the 10 traditional boards and a list of verses to announce the cards. "All you are missing are the beans," commented Sergio Martinez.
It is only fitting that a traditional Mexican game would be designed and printed in Mexico, by Avelino Sordo Vilchis and Impresiones Pandora in Guadalajara. When the artists traveled to Milwaukee for the exhibition installation, they did so with games in hand, organizing games and workshops for local children, a testament to their commitment to uphold and preserve Mexican traditions. As such, the Malagua's Loteria is Mexican art at its finest: art that can be transported, gifted, used and enjoyed over and over again. And hopefully, perhaps in the near future, the original works will be enjoyed in Puerto Vallarta, as well.
The Malagua Lotería is available for purchase at the locations listed below. Each set costs $300 pesos.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Small Fruits & Berries
How to Prune Brambles (page 3 of 3)
by Lee Reich
Three-Step Raspberry and Blackberry Pruning
Prune summerbearing red and yellow raspberries such as 'Canby', 'Latham', 'Titan', and 'Tulameen' like this:
1. After harvest and before new growth begins, identify and remove 2-year-old canes that have fruited.
2. Thin out 1-year-old canes growing beyond a 1-foot-wide row, and thin remaining canes to about 6 inches apart. Selectively remove those that are small, diseased, or broken.
3. The last step is to shorten remaining canes. If too long, they'll flop in the wind; too short, and you get less fruit. Tailor their length to your training system, leaving canes from 4 to 7 feet long.
Prune everbearing red and yellow raspberries such as 'Fall Gold' and 'Heritage' the same as summerbearing types until this third step. Everbearing raspberries fruit again in summer farther down their canes. Instead of shortening the canes to a convenient trellis height, shorten them to just below where they stopped fruiting the previous fall.
Prune summerbearing black and purple raspberries such as 'Bristol', 'Jewel', and 'Royalty', and upright blackberries such as 'Illini Hardy' and 'Navaho' like this:
1. In summer, pinch out the top 2 inches of growing canes that are approximately 18 to 36 inches tall. This stimulates growth of side branches that produce fruit the next season. Height is a matter of neatness and manageability. Pinch lower if you have no trellis, higher for trellis-trained plants.
2. Anytime after harvest and before spring growth, remove the canes that have produced berries, and remove excess 1-year-old canes.
3. Just before growth resumes in spring, remove damaged, diseased, or spindly canes. Shorten side branches (forced by summer's pinching) to between 4 and 18 inches. Leave the thickest ones longest.
The Fruiting Habit of Red or Yellow Everbearing Raspberries
1. In the canes' first summer and first fall, fruits grow at the tops of new shoots.
2. Early in the second season, fruits are borne low on last year's canes. But new canes are growing that will bear fruit in the fall.
3. Late in the second season, last year's canes are dead, and fruits come at the tops of new canes.

The other night, I had dinner with a friend who runs a nonprofit based in New York City. She's in her late 50s and made the transition from a big-bucks financial industry post a few years ago. She loves her job.
That said, my friend was a bit wiped out when we first sat down. She was hot off the four-and-a-half-hour Megabus ride from Washington, D.C., which set her employer back around $11, a fraction of the $218 ticket for Amtrak's Acela Express. My guess is that in her corporate days, hopping the train for the far faster, and probably more comfortable, two-and-a-half-hour journey would have been a no-brainer.
But taking the Megabus is the kind of tradeoff you make when you go to work for a nonprofit. That's okay if, like my friend, you believe in your mission.
Switching to Nonprofit Work
Maybe you, too, are thinking about making the switch from a corporate job to a nonprofit. Many women in their 50s and 60s are — and plenty already have. If so, I have some advice on how to make the switch.
There's something about hitting midlife that makes us pause and think: Is this all there is? Is it really all about making money? How can I leave some kind of legacy?
Jobs in the nonprofit sector — especially management positions in small and mid-size organizations — have traditionally been a sweet spot for women. Most nonprofits with budgets of $1 million or less have women CEOs, and women lead 64 percent of organizations with budgets under $250,000.
(MORE: The Boom in Job Seekers Looking for Encore Careers)
I think there are three key reasons why women gravitate toward nonprofit work (aside from our altruistic natures):
Flexibility. Nonprofits tend to offer more leeway than corporations in terms of hours, flex-time, job-sharing and telecommuting. Although my dinner companion took a colossal pay cut when she gave up her six-figure corporate job for her nonprofit position, she was able to bargain for nonmonetary perks, like plenty of vacation, as a tradeoff.
Opportunity. Men often aren't rushing in to run a nonprofit or work full-time for one. The end result: less competition for women to get hired.
Collaboration. Women, by nature, tend to succeed in work situations where decisions are frequently made by consensus. And many nonprofits emphasize a collaborative workstyle.
9 Tips for Landing Nonprofit Work
In my forthcoming book, Great Jobs for Everyone 50+: Finding Work That Keeps You Happy and Healthy... And Pays the Bills, I devote a chapter to how to land a nonprofit job. Here are my nine top tips.

The telenovela is one of the most popular products of Latin America. It is a format that exploits the world market through the articulation and preservation of cultural difference, and at the same time serves as a powerful tool of self-representation and the re-signification of the continent's colonial legacy. soy mi madre (2008) by Phil Collins and Crying for the March of Humanity (2012) by Christian Jankowski both employ the format of the telenovela for critical purposes that draw on the aesthetics of the melodrama to talk about issues of immigration, class and race, and the relationship between arts, media and politics.

In June 1789 in the penal colony that was later to become the city of Sydney, a marine lieutenant decides to put on a play to celebrate the king's birthday. He casts the play with the English convicts who populate this distant Australian prison camp. Few of them can read, let alone act, and the play is being produced against a background of food shortages and barbaric punishments--brilliantly juxtaposed against the civilizing influence of theatrical endeavor. The "hangman," himself a convict, has been recruited along with a woman, wrongfully accused of stealing. Even as the play is being rehearsed, he measures her for a noose

ZF-9799: Zend_Amf_Response_Http send strange http headers
Zend_Amf_Response_Http currently sends the headers:
Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate Pragma: public
I was not able to find any documentation of "cache" in Cache-Control and public is also not noted in the Pragma documentation (see http://w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/… )
I think the correct headers to disable caching would be:
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate Pragma: no-cache Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Attached is a patch, which fixes the problem.

Thanks for the find. The update has been committed to trunk to reflect the W3C documentation for Cache-Control
Wohoo that was fast... Thanks ;-)

Internships offer the opportunity to combine classroom learning with practical, hands-on experience in the working world. Most internships provide an experience that allows students to learn about themselves, to explore their fields of study, and to test their career interests in a real-life situation.
A 2011 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that internships remain integral to the college recruiting scene. The survey found that employers expected to increase internship hiring by about 7 percent this year and co-op positions by nearly 9 percent. Further, they expected to draw about 40 percent of their new college hires for 2011 from their internship and co-op programs.
Consider a Bucknellian! It takes just a moment to fill out an Internship Opportunities Form. Simply put, this is one of the best ways you can give Bucknell students a leg up in competing for their first job.

Wads are essential for shotshell reloading. They fill extra space in the hull to make sure there is no room for the shot and powder to move around. They also act as a barrier between the powder and shot charges to ensure proper powder ignition, protect the shot from hot gasses and seal gasses behind the shot so that it can be propelled down the barrel. The wad also acts as a dual barrier to protect the barrel from becoming damaged by hard shot and to protect soft shot from becoming deformed by contact with hard barrel steel.

The day is finally here for the new Jose James album, No Beginning No End. The work introduces Jose to a more universal audience through his graceful and astute plays with varied styles and genres on the album. He weaves together a sound that is so much more than just jazz and like Robert Glasper did with Black Radio, creates a bridge to help build a new musical frontier.
The star collaborators on the album help it sparkle and shine only more. Producer/bassist Pino Palladino, Glasper, Emily King, Hindi Zahra, and Kris Bowers are just a few of the talents that have helped transcend this project to its highest heights. In case you missed the NPR stream, definitely do kick off your shoes and take a little afternoon break for a listen – you won't be disappointed.
New Yorkers! Tomorrow is going to be an unforgettable, magical night at the Highline Ballroom as Jose kicks off his US tour with an album release show. Find more details on our event page.
Also, read the recent New York Times article to get a closer look at Jose's journey and the path that led him to where he is today.

What am I going to do? 1. Eat al fresco. This is the sublime time to eat outside; hot days make cool nights even better. Favorite outdoor patios right now: Kimi's Mountainside Bistro at Solitude. Right at the foot of the ski slope, a green hill in the summer, with a fireplace in the middle of the table in case the evening gets chilly, a good chance of sighting grazing moose while you dine, and a menu that includes some fantastic dishes like this grilled salmon on greens with nuts, dried fruits and goat cheese.
2. Go see Lion King . The groundbreaking musical has breathtaking costumes and puppets designed by the brilliant Julie Taymor, which by themselves I expect to be worth the ticket price. I've wanted to see it forever
If you take your tickets or receipt with you and dine at Faustina before the show, you'll get a free appetizer. Like a mini lobster pot pie, king crab in gazpacho, chicken pillow pastry, polenta and short rib...
Sunday, I'll be judging at the Park Silly Sunday Market St. Regis
3. Sunday I'll be judging the St. Regis Chef's Competition at Park Silly Sunday Market, starting around 1 on lower Main Street. Come see me! I'll be able to see your!
