Rock Hall kicks-off 2010 American Music Masters tribute to Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew at the Ponderosa Stomp in New Orleans
CLEVELAND (September 27, 2010) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum officially designated J & M Studios a rock and roll landmark with an historic marker unveiling to kick-off the 9th Annual Ponderosa Stomp music festival in New Orleans. The designation also officially began the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 15th annual American Music Masters series held in November in Cleveland, this year honoring Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew.
From 1947-1956, J&M Studios (838 – 840 N. Rampart), owned and operated by Cosimo Matassa, produced the records that helped give birth to rock and roll. Along with producer and arranger Dave Bartholomew, Matassa recorded sessions by pioneers Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bartholomew, Professor Longhair, Smiley Lewis, Lloyd Price, Roy Brown, and Shirley and Lee, among many others.
Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Ira "Dr. Ike" Padnos, founder of the Ponderosa Stomp music festival and conference officially unveiled the Rock Hall's 11th landmark at 840 N. Rampart Street in the French Quarter. They were joined by members of the Matassa family and American Music Masters honoree Dave Bartholomew.
Following the designation, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame educators Dr. Lauren Onkey, vice president of education and public programs and Jason Hanley, director of education hosted the Ponderosa Stomp music conference. Dr. Onkey interviewed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Ronnie Spector and Jimi Espinoza, the original bassist of Thee Midniters, who ignited Chicano rock in 60's East L.A. with cruising anthems like "Whittier Blvd." Jason Hanley interviewed The Trashmen, the wild 60's Minnesotans behind the iconic rock song "Surfin' Bird." Throughout the Stomp, an array of iconic musicians will be interviewed at the conference including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees: Duane Eddy, Ronnie Spector, and Dave Bartholomew. Selected sessions from the 2010 conference were be live-streamed on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website.
Dr. Ike of the Ponderosa Stomp has been key advisor to the Rock Hall in putting together this year's American Music Masters tribute to Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew. Walking to New Orleans: the Music of Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew will begin Monday, November 8 and will feature lectures, interviews, films and other educational programs throughout the week, culminating on Saturday, November 13 with a conference at Case Western Reserve University and a tribute concert at the Palace Theater in PlayhouseSquare. Tribute concert artists include American Music Masters honoree Dave Bartholomew, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Lloyd Price, Dr. John and The Lower 911, Irma Thomas, The Rebirth Brass Band and Robert Parker. Additional guests will be announced in the coming weeks. For more information on American Music Masters, visit www.rockhall.com.
The Stomp Conference presents and records the stories of some of American music's most treasured architects. Footage of conference interviews is archived at both institutions, capturing a significant repository of cultural history in keeping with the Foundation's overall mission.
The Rock Hall's Landmark Series designates historic rock and roll landmarks around the United States. There are currently 11 selected sites that have been integral in telling the story of rock and roll's formative moments. Sites across the country include KLRU-TV, the home of Austin City Limits; The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa where Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens played their final gig; Whisky-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles where the Doors were resident performers; King Records in Cincinnati, a prominent American record label started in the 40s and The Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Five sites are located in the Cleveland area and include Brooklyn High School, the location Elvis played his first concert north of the Mason-Dixon line and WJW Radio, home to Deejay Alan Freed who popularized the term "rock and roll."
About the American Music Masters Series®
Each year, the American Music Masters® series explores the legacy of a pioneering rock and roll figure in a range of events that includes Museum exhibits, lectures, films, a major conference at Case Western Reserve University and a tribute concert benefiting the Rock Hall's education programs. Drawing together experts, artists, fans and friends, these events provide new perspectives on the most beloved and influential musicians of the past century.
The tribute concert brings together a diverse mix of artists and musical styles, and as a result, many magical moments have taken place over the years. In 2004, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. This year the pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for "Please Read the Letter" at the 51st annual Grammy awards. Honoree Jerry Lee Lewis, who was not scheduled to perform at the 2007 concert, was moved to take the stage at the end of the show. Lewis tenderly played the piano and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." At the first American Music Masters tribute concert, Bruce Springsteen set the bar high and performed in honor of Woody Guthrie. The most star-studded and unique performance by a trio was Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello paying tribute to Sam Cooke in 2005. Two years ago, a 93-year-old Les Paul took the stage with his trio and then led an epic jam with some of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, from Jennifer Batten to Slash. In 2009, Lucinda Williams penned an original song to honor Janis Joplin.
The Ponderosa Stomp Foundation
When a group of music fans banded together to bring the true heroes of rock and roll back to the stage to play again, we called ourselves The Mystic Knights of the Mau-Mau. The Knights later founded the Ponderosa Stomp Foundation (MK Charities, Inc) as a 501(c) 3 cultural organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the rich history of American roots music. Through festivals, special events, concerts and outreach activities featuring musical living legends, we honor influential artists and educate audiences about their massive contributions to American culture. Our primary annual event, the internationally revered Ponderosa Stomp, exists to celebrate, pay tribute to, and teach the cultural significance of the unsung heroes and heroines of rock-n-roll, rhythm & blues and other forms of American roots music while they are still alive. The Stomp festival and its year-round activities provide both a voice and career revival to overlooked sidemen, session musicians and other influential pioneers whose contributions have shaped American culture for over 50 years.

It's driving me nuts, and I can't block them because I get different new colleges every day. I'm in 10th grade for chrissakes, I hardly think I'm going to be looking at colleges just yet. However by just looking at my scores apparently Newbury College thinks I'm going to perfect for them. Anyone else have this problem after taking the PSATS?

Lemony Chicken Piccata RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 7 8
THIS is a flavorful low-fat, low sodium dish. With the lemon juice ingredient, the salt isn't missed. I usually serve this with rice or pasta, but it takes longer to cook either one of these than it does the chicken!
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1-1/2 teaspoons capers
- 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
- 2 thin lemon slices
- Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. In a large plastic resealable bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper; add the chicken, one piece at a time. Seal bag and toss to coat.
- In a small skillet, brown chicken in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
- Add wine and garlic to the pan; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add the broth, lemon juice and capers. Bring to a boil; cook for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in butter and lemon slices. Return chicken to the pan; heat through. Yield: 2 servings.

WHERE: Library Reading Room, Rock Hall's Library and Archives (2809 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland)
TO RSVP: This event is FREE with a reservation through the Rock Hall website athttps://tickets.rockhall.com or at the Rock Hall Box Office. Seating is limited.

In this definitive, authorized biography of Mavis Staples, acclaimed music journalist and author Greg Kot has not only written an engrossing history of Mavis Staples and her fascinating life, but an incredibly rich tale of her multi-faceted role in the music, culture, and race relations which are at the roots of contemporary America.
Kot's book is surprising—including revelations like Bob Dylan's marriage proposal to Mavis Staples—and, at the same time, informs, proving an intimate, revealing, and honest portrait of Mavis and her interactions with major cultural icons like Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Prince, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, and many, many more. The Staples family and their gospel-infused music were also a direct source of inspiration to Martin Luther King, Jr., and they appeared beside him at rallies in churches and auditoriums, essentially serving as his opening act.
Greg Kot has been the music critic at the Chicago Tribune since 1990. Kot is cohost of the nationally syndicated public-radio program Sound Opinions and the author of several books, including Wilco: Learning How to Die and Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music. He lives in Chicago.

ZF-12381: Zend_Validate_File_Hash fails if the expected hash value contains only numbers
In the very unlikely case that the hash of a file contains only digits (e.g. "32608459") the isValid() method of Zend_Validate_File_Hash returns false. I found that the origin of the problem is at line 137 of the Hash.php
$this->_hash[$value] = $algorithm;
At this place $value is of type String. After the loop the key in $this->_hash for this entry becomes an integer value. Thus, the validation statement in line 169
if ($filehash === $hash) {
fails because of the typesafe comparison ("32608459" === 32608459 is FALSE).

Ringed with garlands of evergreens and bows, St. Peter's Church kicked off this year's Three Kings Day celebration with a mass for the day laborer group, Oberos Unidos de Yonkers and their young families on Saturday, January 7. The nearly 300-member crowd — with children in tow — then moved to the gym below converted into Santa's workshop. Children flocked to a stage brimming with trucks, teddies and toys and families feasted on ethnic specialties.
Organized by Catholic Charities staff and volunteers, the event offered respite for these day laborers who line up daily waiting for work during heat, rain and freezing snow.
It also served as a way to thank the day laborers for their hours volunteering, commuting by bus, train and ferry, to rebuild Staten Island homes destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
Three Kings Day, widely celebrated in the Hispanic community, commemorates the Twelfth Day of Christmas when the three wise men arrived in Bethlehem to share with the infant Jesus their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
This annual celebration is part of Catholic Charities' ongoing involvement with Obreros Unidos of Yonkers. Catholic Charities educates workers about employment rights and responsibilities. It provides assistance to prevent exploitation and workplace abuses including help with collecting unpaid wages. It assists with integrating workers into society. It provides local resources including access to healthcare, emergency food and identification cards. And it offers a meeting space along with English as a Second Language and computer classes to help immigrants with their goal of acclimating and contributing to their new homeland.

by Rev. Francis Hoffman "Father Rocky"
Mother of Perfect Love
About these reflections
Pope Francis has asked us to pray for the family this year.
Would you please join me in a 54 Day Rosary Novena praying for the upcoming Synod of the Family and the Supreme Court's deliberations on marriage so that God may be glorified and children protected?
We will start May 8.
You can pray the 54 Day Rosary Novena however you wish: alone, in a group, with your family. On a plane, in a train, in the car. You can do the regular, extra, or super-duper. The "super-duper" means praying all 20 mysteries of the rosary daily: Glorious, Joyful, Sorrowful, and Luminous.
Don't worry! There's no such thing as a bad rosary, no matter how distracted you might be or how chaotic life is. If you can't pray the rosary one day, you can get back on track the next day. The point is 'the rosary is powerful.' Very powerful. My father prayed it every day and managed to survive four years in the army in the South Pacific during WWII.
Each day I will post a short reflection on the many titles of the Blessed Mother from the Litany of Our Lady (Loreto) on my Facebook page.
Let's pray!

Luwin Season 2
this wiki
In Season 2 Luwin is a regular recurring character. As Maester at Winterfell he becomes ever more of a father figure to Bran and Rickon with their father dead and their mother away. He provides council to Bran as he acts as Lord of Winterfell.
The North RemembersEdit
At Winterfell, Prince Bran Stark holds court with his vassals. A lord begs for assistance preparing his holdfast for the coming winter. The lord recalls the skill of the builders who worked on Torrhen's Square and complains at length about the poor condition of his own home. Maester Luwin reminds the man that the maintenance of his home is his own responsibility. The lord complains that his young men are fighting Robb's war. Bran is offended by the man's failure to refer to Robb as his King and his inference that Robb wanted the war and questions his fealty. Luwin interjects that they will lend the man four masons for a week, concluding the discourse. Bran stares at his counsellor and Luwin jokes that they didn't want the Lord there all day. Bran says that he did not like the way he spoke about Robb and Luwin sympathises before reminding Bran of his responsibilities as Lord of Winterfell. He then greets the next in a long line of minor lords, Lord Portan.[1]
What is Dead May Never DieEdit
During his lessons Bran tells Luwin that he has had recurring dreams of seeing the world through the eyes of his Direwolf Summer. He relates them to stories of people that can live inside animals that he once heard from Old Nan. Luwin tries to reassure Bran that they are only dreams. Bran insists that his dreams are different, reminding Luwin that he and Rickon shared the same dream of their father's death. Luwin shows Bran the Valyrian steel link on his maester's chain. He explains that it represents the study of the higher mysteries. Luwin says that despite his studies he never found true magic. He helps Bran to bed and tells him that the dragons are gone; the giants are dead and the children of the forest forgotten.[2]
The Ghost of HarrenhalEdit
Luwin advises Bran as he again holds court for his people. His brother Rickon Stark sits beside them, shelling nuts loudly with a rock. A shepherd reports being unable to tend to his flock with his three sons fighting in the south. He reassures Bran of the loyalty of his sons but says that there are growing numbers of wolves in the north and that he cannot protect his sheep from them alone. Bran offers to assign two orphans from Winterfell's outlying Winterstown to aid him if he will give them room and board. The shepherd gratefully accepts, saying that his wife always wanted more children. When the shepherd leaves Bran tells Rickon to stop. Having seen everyone Bran tells Luwin that he is going to go for a ride before dark and calls for Hodor.[3]
Ser Rodrik Cassel enters the Great Hall calling for Bran. He reports that Torrhen's Square is under siege. Luwin is shocked, remarking that Torrhen's Square is just 14 leagues away and wonders how the Lannisters have reached so far north. Osha listens intently as she lights candles at the back of the room. Ser Rodrik speculates that it could be a raiding party led by the Mountain or a group of sellswords. Bran says that they must help their bannermen. Rodrik nods agreement and says that even with most of their forces fighting for Robb he can gather 200 decent men. Luwin wonders if Rodrik needs to take so many and Bran cautions that they must protect their bannermen if they expect their bannermen to protect them. Rodrik smiles at the boy's wisdom and Bran orders him to leave as soon as he has his men. Rodrik confidently says that it will not take long because southerners do not do well in their territory.[3]
The Old Gods and the NewEdit
Theon Greyjoy had planned the siege to divert troops from Winterfell. He uses the opportunity to attack the castle. Maester Luwin hurriedly sends a raven before five Ironborn soldiers burst in. Luwin is brought to the courtyard for the public surrender of Winterfell by Bran. Theon then instructs him to send ravens to Yara Greyjoy at Deepwood Motte and Balon Greyjoy at Pyke. Luwin is hesitant but Theon insists that he is oathbound to serve him now that he is the Lord of Winterfell.[4]
Luwin returns to the courtyard to find that the Ironborn have captured Ser Rodrik and that Theon plans to execute him for spitting in his face. Luwin counsels keeping Rodrik a captive but Theon ignores him. Luwin comforts Bran and Rickon as Theon botches the beheading of Rodrik. Osha later manages to free both Stark children.[4]
A Man Without HonorEdit
The morning after, Theon sets out to find the children. Luwin begs Theon not to hurt the boys should he find them, to which Theon says he wont kill them. They stop upon a farm and interrogate the farmer, who claims to know nothing of their whereabouts. Dagmer Cleftjaw finds some nuts near a pile of hay, and tells Theon that he suspects the farmer is hidding them. Theon then orders Luwin sent back to the castle, who begs Theon not to harm anyone. Later, he is brought in chains to bear witness to Theon's demonstration of what happens to traitors. He screams in horror at the charred bodies of two children who are hanging from the city walls.[5]
The Prince of WinterfellEdit
While walking through the courtyard where Theon and Dagmer Cleftjaw are speaking to each other, Luwin briefly cathes a glimse of Osha sneaking about, her arms filled with breads. He carefully looks over at Theon and Dagmer, but they do not notice her. He approaches the two burnt bodies still hanging in the courtyard wondering. He finds Osha down at the Crypts along with Hodor, Rickon and Bran. Osha tells him they had backtracked through a stream to throw off the hounds, hoping the crypt under Winterfell would be the last place Theon would look. She asks Luwin who the two dead children were, Luwin replies they must have been the farmer's boys, killed and burned to appear as if they were Rickon and Bran. He whispers that Bran must not know, as he would surely blame himself for their deaths.[6]
Valar MorghulisEdit
Theon Greyjoy throws another log on the hearth in the Lord's chamber at Winterfell. His nerves are frayed by the constant sounding of a horn outside the castle walls; Ramsay Snow has besieged Winterfell as ordered by King Robb Stark. Theon vows to kill the horn blower before he falls to the arrows and spears of the northmen. Luwin says that the attackers want Theon to know that he is surrounded. Theon says that he already knows that he has been surrounded because he stood on the battlements and saw the 500 men around his walls. Luwin says that they want to stop him from sleeping to sap his spirit. Theon interrupts to sarcastically thank Luwin for his wise counsel about siege tactics. Theon asks if there has been word from his father, Balon Greyjoy and Luwin says no. Theon orders him to send more ravens and Luwin reminds Theon that he had all of the ravens killed.[7]
Theon begins to reminisce about the first time he saw Winterfell but is interrupted by another horn blast. He starts over and says that he believed that castle looked like it had been present for thousands of years and would be standing thousands of years after he died. The imposing castle made him feel that it was inevitable that Eddard Stark won the Greyjoy Rebellion and killed his brothers. Luwin says that Eddard went out of his way to make Theon feel at home at Winterfell. Theon sarcastically agrees that his captors were very kind to him and notes that all the people of Winterfell love reminding him of that. He rhetorically asks if Luwin knows what it is like to constantly be told how lucky you are to be someone's prisoner and how much you owe them. He tearfully mentions the reaction he received when he returned home to his real father but is again interrupted by the horn blower. He stands and vows again to kill the man, this time swearing to all the gods.[7]
Luwin asks Theon to listen to him and reminds him that he is bound by oath to serve him as the Lord of Winterfell. Theon sarcastically asks for Luwin's counsel, calling him a trusted friend. Luwin tells him to run. He says that the tactical situation is hopeless and Theon should wait for night to fall and then flee. Theon says that he has nowhere to run and would never reach the Iron Islands alive and even if he did he would be received as a coward. Theon declines to be the "Greyjoy who ran" and the shame of his family. Luwin says that Theon should not return home and should instead join the [Night's Watch]]. He advises that a man who has taken the black is beyond reach of the law and absolved of his past deeds. Luwin asserts that is a chance at redemption for Theon. Theon says that he will never reach the wall and would be killed as soon as he stepped outside the gates. Luwin offers to show Theon hidden passageways out of the castle, built so that the Lords of Winterfell could escape if needed. Luwin counsels that the road will be dangerous but that Theon has a chance. Luwin extols the virtues of the Night's Watch as an ancient honorable order that will offer Theon opportunities. Theon counters that it will give Jon Snow the opportunity to cut his throat. Luwin states that it will give Theon a chance to make amends for what he has done.[7]
Theon pauses and says that he has done a lot. He admits that he has done things that he never imagined himself doing. Luwin says that he has known Theon for many years and that he is not the man that he is pretending to be. He puts a hand on Theon's shoulder as he says "not yet." Theon says that Luwin may be right but that he has gone too far to pretend to be anything else.[7]
Theon attempts to convince his men to join him in a final battle, promising them glorious deaths. Dagmer hits Theon over the head with the butt of a spear, knocking him out. Lorren says that he thought Theon would never shut up. Dagmer says that it was a good speech and did not want to interrupt. Stygg puts a bag over Theon's head. Luwin enters the courtyard and asks what they are doing. Dagmer stabs him in the belly with his spear. He tells the crew that they are going home. They drag Theon with them leaving Luwin bleeding in the mud.[7]
Winterfell is sacked by an unspecified force and Luwin dras himself to the heart tree, still clinging to life. The fugitives emerge from the crypts and find him there. Rickon runs over to him and he grabs the boy by the arm. Hodor carries Bran to join them. Rickon pulls aside the Maester's robe to reveal his blood soaked undershirt. Osha stands behind Hodor as Luwin holds both boys. Bran asks Rickon to tell them what medicine he needs and says that they will fetch it from his chambers. Rickon says that they will make it better. Luwin tells them that he feels fine. Bran says that everything at Winterfell has been burned down. Luwin says that not everything is lost and takes comfort in the boys being alive. Rickon sobs to see his father figure dying. Luwin warns that those responsible might return and urges them to leave. He instructs them to put on their warmest clothes and pack as much food as they can carry before heading North. Osha argues that they should head south to their mother and brother. Luwin says that they do not know Robb and Catelyn's whereabouts and that they have too many enemies in the south. He urges them to travel to the Wall. He says that Jon Snow will look after them and tell their mother that they are safe.[7]
Bran says that he does not want to leave Luwin. Luwin grips his hand and says that he feels the same way. He reminds the boys that he pulled them into the world and has seen them both almost every day since. He says that he considers himself very, very lucky to have known them. He tells them to go with Hodor and reassures them that he will be right where they have left him.[7]
Osha stays with him and he tells her that she must protect the boys. He says that she is the only one who can do it and adds that she may have to protect them against her own people, the free folk. She says that she has no great love for her own kind. She offers to get him Milk of the Poppy. He says that he does not want the painkiller and instead nods towards her dagger. She understands his request for mercy and reaches for the weapon. He asks her to do it quickly as she checks that the boys are out of sight. She draws the blade, her face showing that she is set to the task.[7]

Rail Yard Switchpoint Desk
The Park City Kimball Arts Festival is this weekend on Main Street, and we got a sneak peek (and interview) with one of the more than 200 established artists worth checking out, and the pieces he puts together will make sure you never look at a railroad cross tie the same way again.
Owner of his own railroad maintenance and construction company, Robert Hendrick told his team they were going to start making furniture pieces with used railroad pieces to help supplement income when the economy tanked. He got a lot of strange looks at first, but it ended up being just the idea he needed. The hobby soon turned into a business.
Now, he's known as the founder of Rail Yard Studios, based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Many of his furniture pieces (everything from desks to wine racks) have appeared in art shows and galleries in Chicago, Atlanta and Nashville. The art is for the floor, no walls needed. And it's sustainable. All of the cross ties and rails used in the artwork are saved from being burned or melted.
Wedge Wine Rack
We caught up with Hendrick after his flight to Salt Lake City for a quick Q&A about his art and what attendees can look forward to from him at the arts festival this year.
What exactly do you use to make the art?
"We use century-old railroad rail. It's been taken out of service, and you can see how it's been worn out by the trains running across it. We also work with a tie supplier, and what we do is buy the ties that are ineffective because otherwise they'd just get rid of them. We try to get hard woods—oak, hickory, an occasional walnut or maple."
And all of this is made in Nashville?
"Yes, we make everything back where we're from in Nashville, Tennessee. But the rail we get comes from all over the place. Some of it's from Pennsylvania, some from Alabama, Tennessee, and we've even gotten some from Germany. Rail moves around quite a bit and we know where it comes from originally because of the branding on it. We got one recently that was labelled as being made in July 1902 in Germany."
Any rail from Utah?
"We don't really get a lot of rail from Utah. There's some made in Colorado, but all of the rail we use is about 90 years old, and I'm not aware of any from Utah in that time period we can get today."
Then why did you decide to come to Utah?
"We just started doing this two years ago, and we've done a handful of shows, and we asked some of the artists where the best places to go were and Kimball just kept coming up. People told us it's one of the best festivals. I'm still pretty new to this, and we've been embraced by the arts community so well."
At other festivals, what has the reaction been?
"Some will immediately recognize it as railroad rail and some don't. It's pretty gratifying when people stop and stare and tell me they like the design and five minutes into the conversation, they find out it's railroad rail."
Any particular pieces you're very proud of?
"I get excited about individual pieces of wood. We get these gnarled pieces of wood sometimes that have huge knots in them, and we integrate that imperfection into the piece. I also get excited when we see one of those cross ties that's ugly and can't be used in the railroad. To me, it's gorgeous because it has so much unique character to it."
Anything else?
"This is one of my favorite places. I've come out before and gone to Antelope Island, and we've gone to Park City before and I love the outdoors. Skiing, rock climbing, cycling—I love this part of the country and I love Salt Lake, so it's an added treat for me that I can come out here for the show."
If you can't make it to the Kimball Arts Fest, you can still check out Rail Yard Studios at railyardstudios.com, and you can reach Robert directly at email@example.com. The festival is $10 for a weekend pass for adults and $5 for children six to 18. Children five and under are free.
Here are some pics of what the art can look like in a home:

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."

I was good once, a withered old stump of a Pokemon player with only my two non-phallic balls to remind me of my shrivelled-up talent.
Trying to get a job, that's my life at the moment. I think I might have secured a part-time job being one of those annoying people who pull you up on the street and ask you to make a monthly donation to charity but I don't know whether I really want to do that. I think I will since I'm at literally the bottom of the financial tether.
Other than that my life is cool, I've been waking up early and just doing stuff for ages and I'm having a pretty good life. I'm trying to write a play at the moment and it isn't going that badly.

Designer: Sam E. Weinberg
Collection: Umbra
Intrigued by the aura of nocturnal creatures and wanting to depict something that has yet to be seen as beautiful, Sam e. became inspired by moths. Seeking to capture the delicate qualities found within their feather-like wings, she pieced together various textiles in shapes that mimicked a moth's wings in flight.
Sam e. collects inspiration as though it were a rare object. Her shelves are overflowing with items that tell a story, whether it be a found snapshot or a vintage embroidery. She sees the beauty in it all. Applying this collected sensibility to her design process, she creates pieces that evoke a sense of nostalgia, but simultaneously speak of something new and innovative.

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen's official news agency says a militant group has attacked the central prison in the capital, killing seven people and helping a number of inmates to escape.
SABA says Thursday's attack started with a car bomb that exploded at the gate of the Sanaa Central Prison, which is located along the main road leading to the airport. It says militants then exchanged gunfire with guards, and a number of prisoners fled amid the chaos.
The news agency didn't say how many inmates fled or what charges they were faced. It added that authorities are investigating.
Witnesses said earlier that explosions rocked the capital and smoke billowed into the sky. Security forces and army troops have been deployed to the site of the attack and sealed off the whole area.

This old lady down the street stood in her yard (4 houses down) and YELLED at me, cursing about my "damn dog" and how she is going to call the "damn cops" because Jackson was barking. The kicker is she owns a beagle herself as well which barks all the time. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I can't believe someone would do that in front of a small child.
We are going this weekend to get a no-bark shock collar for the puppy, so we have a solution in place... but the cursing and yelling was UNCALLED FOR! I said back, "Are you certain you aren't confused with your dog! You have a beagle too." and turned around to walk away. She was STILL yelling at me when I went in the house.
For all I know she is still out there yelling.
Some people. I swear.
How low class.
How uncouth.
I'm astounded.

Singapore achieves a Happy Planet Index Score of 39.8 and ranks #90 of all the countries analysed.
Singapore's HPI score reflects a high life expectancy, relatively high levels of experienced well-being, and a very high ecological footprint.
Other statistics
Singapore's experienced well-being score is 6.5 out of a possible 10.
This is lower than the average level of experienced well-being in Germany (6.72), but higher than that of Spain (6.19).
The data for experienced well-being draws on responses to the ladder of life question in the Gallup World Poll, which was asked to samples of around 1000 individuals aged 15 or over in each of the countries included in the Happy Planet Index.
Singapore's life expectancy is 81.1 and ranks #11 among the 151 countries analysed.
This is below Japan, the country with highest life expectancy (83.4), but higher than the USA, which has a life expectancy of 78.5.
The life expectancy figure for each country was taken from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report and reflects the number of years an infant born in that country could expect to live if prevailing patterns of age-specific mortality rates at the time of birth in the country stay the same throughout the infant's life.
Singapore's Ecological Footprint is 6.10 global hectares per capita.
If everyone had the same Ecological Footprint as the average citizen of Singapore:
- the world's Ecological Footprint would double
- we would need to reduce our Ecological Footprints by a factor of 3.3 in order to stay within sustainable environmental limits
Ecological Footprint is a metric of human demand on nature, used widely by NGOs, the UN and several national governments. It measures the amount of land required to sustain a country's consumption patterns.
For a majority of the countries (142 of the 151), Ecological Footprint data were obtained from the 2011 Edition of Global Footprint Network National Footprints Accounts. For the nine other countries included (Belize, Comoros, Djibouti, Guyana, Hong Kong, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, and Palestine), Ecological Footprint figures were estimated using predictive econometric models.

ZF-10697: PDF generator with php 5.2.10 crashing when handling PNG files
I'm using the Zend Framework to generate PDF files, and in one of the support files for handling PNG-files there's a simple while-loop that the PHP version 5.2.10 fails to handle. It all worked fine before with the PHP version 5.1.6, but after upgrading to 5.2.10 it fails.
The line that fails is this simple line, Row 126: while(($chunkLengthBytes = fread($imageFile, 4)) !== false) { ... }
In the 5.1.* version this worked fine, the while loop exited correctly at the EOF of the PNG file. But in version 5.2.10-1 from the testing repo the loop continues to run, reading null values after the EOF and thus creating numerous other problems whithin the while loop..
The problem can be worked around by removing the "!== false" part, Row 126: while(($chunkLengthBytes = fread($imageFile, 4))) { ... }
Any ideas what could cause this? According to the php doc's their behaviour regarding exiting while-loops has not changed from what I can find.
The file in the Zend Framework that the loop is in is the following, Zend/Pdf/Resource/Image/Png.php
I have tried this with Zend Framework 1.7.1 (PHP 5.1.6 => works, PHP 5.2.10 => fails). I have also tried upgrading to ZF 1.10.6 but the issue remains.

This season's loudtrends (orange lips! metallic eyes!) appear at first more lionthan lamb. But fear not. On the skin, even the boldestcolors are surprisingly sheer . . . and sweet. Our guess? You'll gobaaa-ttyfor them.
Lively Lacquer
Spring polishes actually go on full strength (not sheer). But they're rich—classic coral rather than bubblegum pink—so they're still more adult than adolescent. Shown: OPI nail lacquer in Big Hair . . . Big Nails. Also try:OPI nail lacquer in Guy Meets Gal-veston ($8.50 each; opi.com).
Bright Done Right
In the tube, these lip colors
look Barbie-esque. But on, they're more like tinted balm, giving your mouth a
pleasingly subtle pop of color. Shown: Chanel Rouge Coco Lipshine in Sari d'Eau ($32; chanel.com). Also try: Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Mega Melon ($15; clinique.com).
Rouge You Can Use
Like spring lip colors, the vivid cheek shades seen on runways have been sheered out for at-home application. Most formulas are creamy and buildable rather than opaque and powdery, allowing you to start with just a little and see how far you want to go. Shown: MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy (top) and MAC Cream Colour Base in Movie Star Red ($20, $17; maccosmetics.com).
A Lighten-Up Tip
In a new take on colored mascara, formulas this sea-son are often double ended: black on one side and metallic (copper, gold or silver) on the other. Apply the black first, then coat just your lash tips with the metallic for an effect that's sneakily brightening. Shown:Physicians FormulaEye Enhancing Mascara Duo ($11; drugstores).Also try: L'Oréal Double Extend Mascara in Black Bronze ($11; drugstores).
A Hint of Glint
Liquid liners in neutral metallic tones add a touch
of twinkle that needn't be saved for evening. Swiped just along your upper lashes, they brighten the eye area in an understated way that's appropriate 9 to 5. Pair with black or brown mascara. Shown:Stila Glitter Eye Liner in Kitten ($16; stilacosmetics.com). Also try: Laura Mercier Liquid Eye Liner in Gold Thread

There are an estimated 665 trillion cubic feet of "technically recoverable" shale gas under our feet, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, and the White House boasts that domestic oil and natural gas production has "increased every year since President Obama has been in office," adding that in 2012, "natural gas production reached an all-time high." (Click here for a map of U.S. shale "plays.") But while few people would argue against the concept of an abundant domestic fuel source, some feel the fracking "gold rush" is being encouraged without enough research into its effects on health, land and the environment. The practice has been banned in France and Bulgaria, and has triggered protests in other nations. Here, answers to some frequently asked questions:
Can fracking make me rich? Some homeowners have earned hefty signing bonuses and a regular royalty income for allowing extraction on their land. According to an article on the trade site Oil & Gas Monitor, signing bonuses in shale-rich Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia, for example, leapt from $2 to $5 per acre, prior to 2000, to $5,000 to $10,000 per acre by 2012. Royalties—a percentage of the income earned from extracted gas—are paid monthly or quarterly.
Antifracking activist Sharon Wilson, who is profiled in More's September issue, at first welcomed fracking as an opportunity to strike it rich. She owned 50 percent of the mineral rights to her Texas property—all that was available at the time she bought her land. In 2008 an energy company offered her a $20,000 signing bonus plus a 20 percent royalty (about $1,200 a month) to extract gas from her land. But royalities can fluctuate over time—Wilson now receives $800 a month—and recent lawsuits have accused energy firms of shortchanging landowners. In some instances, fracking on your land (or on your neighbors') can negatively affect property value, says New York real estate and environmental lawyer Elisabeth Radow. For more on mineral rights and property value, see "Do You Own What's Under Your Home?"
Will fracking make me sick? "Too often citizen testimonies of health effects . . . are dismissed as anecdotal," writes Wilson and her coauthors in Flowback: How the Texas Natural Gas Boom Affects Health and Safety, a report they produced for the Washington, D.C.-based environmental group Earthworks. "But when so many citizens across almost two dozen [Texas] counties report similar complaints and symptoms associated with gas drilling, something is wrong." Illnesses reported in Flowback (and from fracking sites around the country) include asthma, nausea, nosebleeds, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and rashes, along with the death of pets and farm animals. Activists and some legislators have been calling for more thorough testing of fracking's potential effects and fuller disclosure about the composition of fracking fluids. Why is so little currently known? Since 2005, the industry has been exempt from the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and similar legislation, meaning companies can avoid disclosing the exact chemical mix by saying that it is a trade secret.
Will fracking harm my water, air or soil? Shale gas has been promoted as a cleaner, greener energy option, and the increasing use of natural gas (as opposed to coal) does help account for America's 12 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2007 to 2012, notes Andrew Holland in an article for the trade site Energy Trends Insider. A senior fellow for energy and climate policy at the American Security Project, a nonpartisan think-tank in Washington, D.C., Holland adds that "while the U.S. has reduced its emissions, by exporting coal that is mined here, we are essentially outsourcing part of the emissions . . . The atmosphere does not care where greenhouse emissions come from." And activists worry about chemical-laced fracking fluids and wastewater flowing back to the surface, leaking from cracks in the cement-and-steel-encased well pipes or seeping into soil and water supplies through waste spills and trucking or storage accidents. In 2010, Congress directed the EPA to study the impact of fracking on drinking water; preliminary reports have been released, but publication of the final version, once scheduled for 2014, now appears to be slated for 2016. Meanwhile, a study led by Duke University researchers looked at drinking water from 141 wells in the Northeast's Marcellus Shale and found potentially explosive methane gas in 82 percent of the samples analyzed. (Ethane and propane were also found in higher concentrations at homes near fracking sites.) Researchers and activists are hoping the energy industry will work with them on baseline and follow-up testing to monitor conditions both before and after fracking comes to town.
Does fracking cause earthquakes? "More than 100,000 wells have been subjected to fracking in recent years, and the largest induced earthquake was magnitude 3.6, which is too small to pose a serious risk," writes William L. Ellsworth, a U.S. Geological Survey seismologist, in the recent study "Injection-Induced Earthquakes," published in the journal Science. Fracking wastewater that is disposed of by injection into deep wells, however, "poses a higher risk," he writes, adding that several of the largest earthquakes in the middle of the country during 2011 and 2012 "may have been triggered by nearby disposal wells." The largest, a magnitude 5.6 quake in central Oklahoma, destroyed 14 homes and injured two people. Only a small fraction of the country's 30,000-plus wastewater disposal wells "appear to be problematic," Ellsworth notes. But current regulations regarding wastewater disposal were designed to protect water from contamination and "do not address seismic safety," he concludes, adding that further study is necessary to manage earthquake risk.

|Listen to NAMI Medical Director Ken Duckworth discuss the Arizona tragedy on NPR.
The tragedy in Arizona raises many more questions than it answers. One key area under discussion is the role of unassessed and untreated psychiatric disorders in the lives of young adults, who are already undergoing multiple life stressors. NPR's popular program, The Diane Rehm Show, as well as Wisconsin NPR and Minnesota NPR, devoted an hour to this crucial discussion this week. NAMI was well represented in these discussions. Pete Earley, a NAMI father and author of Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness; Lisa Dixon, M.D., leading researcher and NAMI scientific advisory council member; E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., of the Treatment Advocacy Center and I participated in the Diane Rehm NPR show. I encourage you to click on the link to the recording of her show from Jan. 11.
Mr. Earley spoke eloquently about a parent's conundrum—how hard it can really be to get mental treatment for one's child, in part due to the fact that our health care system has not learned how to dance gracefully between the demands of privacy versus the demands of personal and public safety. Any catastrophic outcome gives us all pause to reflect what we can learn, and some facts will emerge over time to understand decision points in the Tuscon tragedy. If there is one positive note, it's that tragedy can sometimes inspire public discourse about an often silent problem—the failure to have an accessible and well resourced mental health system. When we see evidence of how high the stakes can be when it happens that someone in crisis does not receive timely intervention, it can help focus attention on improving culture of help seeking, and the need for diagnosis and treatment. Because treatment does work—it comes down to investment in college, public and private mental health and substance abuse services and to our collective acceptance as a culture that getting help is positive and healthy. Such an investment ends up being less costly—in dollars and heartache—in the long run.
There are likely many things we can learn as the data comes in on this tragedy. In the meantime, I encourage parents and friends of people they are concerned about to follow your gut. When parents find themselves waking up in the early morning, worrying about their child, I recommend that they talk to their loved one and see if they can discuss their experience, and get an evaluation. Maintaining your support and connection with the person is key—if that is impossible then work to get help to understand why. That step has it own resource challenges of course, and this is another hurdle to getting help. Many people trust their general practitioner, who may help or find a psychiatrist or mental health professional who can. He or she can help you figure out what is normal adolescence and what is a mental health problem. This can be the hardest thing you will ever do--getting a loved one help who does not know he or she has a mental illness—and as many as 50 percent do not when living with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. This can be one of the most difficult, and more important, acts of love you may ever have to perform. Get support for yourself as you engage in this challenge to find the right path with people you trust or in a NAMI support group. Always see if you can find a way to get your loved help with consent and collaboration. But that can be impossible in some psychiatric situations. If you do need to put someone into an evaluation or treatment against their will, they may not thank you. But you may make a difference.
Call the department of mental health in your state to get information about resources for services. Substance abuse can increase the risk of violence and complicates treatment efforts, regardless of whether someone is living with a mental illness. Contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for a substance abuse treatment facility locator. You may have to fight to find a bed if you live in one of the many states where hospital beds are being closed (while more prisons are being built).
There is a saying, "Pain shared is pain halved." Families and communities need to work together to create a situation where there is no prejudice against seeking mental health treatment or towards people who live with mental illness. Join NAMI—we are the focused advocates for change that can help make this happen. NAMI is one of the key authors of material improvement in the opportunities for people living with mental illness and their families. Our national network represents the change we long to see in our culture and our care systems. The mental health care system needs transparency, and NAMI wants to hand as many service and treatment tools as possible in the hands of individuals and families. We need to have a national conversation about mental illness —both on possible lessons from this tragedy and also for the thousands of young adult Americans who are not encouraged, willing or able to get the help that could promote their recovery. Because treatment often works—if you can get it.

Rated 2.3 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PagosaJan This a tasty gingerbread treat Our daughter included a package of these in our Christmas package she sent us. We loved them! I went online to Cost Plus to order more and at that time they were $11.97 for 3 packages. With shipping I couldn't see spending that much for 7 cookies. I went back again a few days later and they were o sale for $3.00 for 3 packages! I ordered 5, so 15 packages of cookies. We have these as a special treat as we both love ginger anything. They are a soft, lightly glazed ginger cookie, except for the yummy 2 chocolate coated cookies. I can't eat them right out of the package because I will eat the whole package, they are that good!! I will certainly look for them again next year. February 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Knittenorma Memories of Nuremberg, Germany While on a Christmas Cruise I discovered Lebkuchen in Nuremberg, Germany. These are so delicious and not easy to find stateside. Thank you World Market for bringing these to those that love the German spiced cookie. December 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by LebkuchenNewbie A Tip Remove the white plastic liner on the bottom of the cookie. It's baked on so it looks like hardened glazed frosting. I've never had Lebkuchen so I didn't know. With the liner, the cookie is HORRIBLE. Without the liner, it's actually a tasty cookie! yes, yes, yes - I ate a whole cookie with the liner. December 31, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by forcoco very dissapointed I look forward to purchasing Lebkuchen every year and was solely disappointed this time. This was not the brand I usually purchase at World Market and definitely lacked in taste and texture. I would not recommend this brand. December 18, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lali Dry I expected either crispy or soft and moist. This was soft and somewhat dry. It had no strong flavor or spice to redeem it. I took a bite of 2 types and threw it all away. December 15, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Eye Chapman Inferior Brand - Get Bahlsen I look forward to a few guilty pleasures every Christmas, namely the Bahlsen Lebkuchen which I usually find at World Market. This year I went to World Market and all I could find was this new brand: Schuhmann. It was terrible, dry, stale nuts at the bottom. No comparison. Don't waste your money or the calories. I took them back. Please get the real thing back... November 27, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Weekend Regular These taste Horrid. One would think that these cookies would be great additions to holiday coffees and teas. However, they are not. Point of fact, my guests described their taste as more similar to plastic or the presumed flavor of common packing peanuts. My opinion is that they are simply horrid. Of the four packages purchased, all had the same plastic or packing peanut flavor. When tossed to enthusiastic ducks, they were eaten greedily - at first - and then even the ducks let the wafers sink. What looked to be a great holiday addition was a disappointment.

In my last post I wrote about Tubi's Black Tire Tread, and I'm happy to inform you that Tubi makes a Tire Tread Red too. I didn't know of the red variety for some time, and it wasn't until I discovered it at a rest stop on the way home to my parent's place. My boyfriend is the one who I pointed it out to, and since he loves good red licorice, we decided to try it. We immediately loved it and wished we had bought more.
The Red is made the same way as the Black, of a row of ribbons, piled three layers high and cut into squares.
The red flavor has the same wet, thick, chewy texture. The flavor is indeed "red" but I mean that in the best way possible. It's sweet, and has nice notes of berries, mainly strawberry and cherry. It's very juicy, with an edge of tartness.
This is a very well crafted and well flavored red licorice. It really tastes of something, as opposed to the likes of Twizzlers and most other main stream licorice chews. I like my candy to taste like

General Discussion
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare kidney disorder that may be inherited or acquired. NDI is not related to the more common diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes), in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. NDI is a distinct disorder caused by complete or partial resistance of the kidneys to arginine vasopressin (AVP). Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone used by the kidney to manage water balance in the body. NDI causes chronic excessive thirst (polydipsia), excessive urine production (polyuria), and potentially dehydration. If left untreated, repeated episodes of severe dehydration may develop, eventually resulting in serious complications. Most cases of hereditary NDI are inherited as X-linked recessive disorders. Rare cases are inherited as an autosomal recessive or dominant disorder. Two different genes have been identified that cause hereditary NDI. NDI may also be acquired during life as a result of drug use (e.g., lithium therapy), kidney disease, obstruction of the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), and prolonged metabolic imbalances such as low levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia) or high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia). NDI may also be a temporary complication associated with pregnancy.
The term nephrogenic diabetes insipidus was first used in the medical literature in 1947. In the past, the term diabetes insipidus renalis was used to denote this disorder. NDI is different from central diabetes insipidus, which is a rare disorder characterized by the inability of the body to produce vasopressin (rather than vasopressin resistance as in NDI).

I have been in Dubai this week. Beautiful place, but I'm glad to be home. I was able to meet up with a friend who has a 3-month-old baby girl. We went to the beach, to the mall, and had a lovely time.
Even though I don't have a girl, I was lusting after her pink Bugaboo stroller. I love the bassinet feature, and that it comes completely apart. Check out their video on the website. I've seen them EVERYWHERE here, and they look quite posh. I've always thought of them, though, as lots of fluff with cool fabrics and logo, but not much else. But I think a little differently now. And that means a lot! Especially coming from me—the proud owner of the (in my opinion) "King of All Strollers," the B.O.B. Duallie Revolution jogger.
I believe I made the best stroller purchase for me, but I really have to say that I think the Bugaboo has a fabulous design. Absolutely fresh colors and a killer logo, not to mention their novel modular system. Not so cool for the price though, I mean really. Are you really charging $800 dollars for a single stroller?!? Yikes. However, if money isn't an object, then I'd suggest adding the Bugaboo to your stroller collection.
