Music is Sculpture
Posted on: March 10th, 2013 | 0 Comments
by Aidan Carr
Writing music before the 20th century was a lot like painting—you had certain colors and certain brushes, and you painted certain things. Like painters, composers outgrew these boundaries—painters stopped painting things, composers stopped writing tonal music, etc. But we still think of most music as having a pretty narrow set of 'brushes' or 'paints'—the Beatles used guitars, classical composers write for the symphonic orchestra, Miles Davis played the trumpet.
You'll notice I've neglected electronic music. This is for a reason. Electronic music and the thinking that produced it does not work this way. It does not have a palette; its palette, rather, is sound itself, the physical vibrations that make noise in your ear. Electronic sound is not paint; it is clay, clay under the hands of the most impossible alchemist, capable of morphing into literally any substance imaginable. Writing music on the computer is not painting, it is sculpture.
More on this to come, but for the time being, absorb this 'sculpture' by a British artist who produces under the name Four Tet. Like the work of Michaelangelo, its detail is pristine, exact; every sound is there for a reason, every detail contributing to the whole. It repeats, endlessly—accept this. Let what sounds the same wash over you—I promise you, if you do so, it will not be boring, it will be beautiful.
What's Being Adapted
Posted on: March 10th, 2013 | 0 Comments

Opening credits.
The film I'm adapting is called MAY. It is has a cult reputation of sorts—it frequently makes pop "Top 10 Horror of 2000's" List, a horror-hipster favorite. This is actually how I discovered it—on such a list, the author ranked MAY as his second favorite of the decade, remarking that it was "not so much scary as sad," which intrigued me.
"Sadder than scarier" is a fair assessment; unlike most contemporary horror films, MAY focuses on the monster and not the victims. It has this (and more, as you'll see) in common with Frankenstein—a difference of purpose, more about why terrible things happen than the thrill of them happening.
MAY was written by Lucky McKee when he was a film student at the University of Southern California, and it is a lonely film—the eponymous monster/heroine is in nearly every frame, and half of these by herself. May cannot hold a conversation. Even animals become suspicious of her. As a member of the outside world, such a withdrawal is unsettling, disturbing, a harbinger of something darker and perhaps dangerous. Disordered social interactions point towards inner instability, and this frightens us. Pariahs scare us.
I saw a man in a park late at night in Barcelona pace in tiny circles, reciting a mélange of Arabic and Spanish syllables with no connection, and I stayed away.
Imagine this from the inside. That man pacing in circles was speaking, trying to communicate, and yet all his faculties for doing so were broken. All he can muster are the short-circuits of syllables. How terrifying this must be; more than terrifying, how lonely.
This is May's problem, though it is not as pronounced and all the more insidious—her signals too are broken, but they take on the illusion of order and coherence. They trick people for a time, herself included. May is fascinating—she makes her own clothes, she works for an idiomatically-challenged Eastern European veterinarian, she has an elaborate collection of fine porcelain dolls—for a time. Soon her obsessions—stitches and sutures, needles and scalpels, dolls—are no longer fascinating; they are dangerous. When her newfound 'friends' sense this danger, they too run away. Her own realization that she scares people is her anagnorisis, and nobody survives it.
The way May's compulsions finally play out is this; all of the people she meets through the course of the film possess a body part that May finds particularly attractive. One man's hands, a woman's neck, another's legs, et cetera. May has long since outgrown dolls and needs human company, hence why she meet all these people who rejected her in the first place. Nobody wants May's company, so she resolves to fashion someone who does, out of all of the best parts of the people she knows. The creation of this new doll, 'Amy,' ends the film.
A strange subject for a musical, you'd correctly think. One key aspect allows room for music in this story, even begs for it. May holds unspoken conversations with her doll Suzy that drive her emotional arc; these conversations are full of the kind of desperation and yearning and pure desire that sings onstage, and dolls are an inventive and unusual instrument with which to sing those desires. Sewing machines, too, have their own strange and strangely beautiful music, akin to the musique concrete of Edgard Varése or the minimalism of Steve Reich. Out of this kernel—musicalizing May's emotional interior life, accompanying it with the sounds of the real world like the sewing machine—I've developed a sort of musical vocabulary that underpins all May's movements in the world. Several other implications follow from this central conceit, many of them structural—they will be discussed in the posts that come.
A bottom line: MAY will be a musical like Sweeney Todd, that follows a monster through her emergence as such; it will be a musical like Cabaret, with a nagging discomfort that sprouts into full fledged dread; and it will be more, an electronic aberration, a show soaked in samples and synthesizers and stitches instead of trumpets and saxophones, something funny and uncomfortable and uncomfortable because it is funny, something sadder than scary. (All this, I hope.)
Making Musicals: An Introduction
Posted on: February 27th, 2013 | 0 Comments
by Aidan Carr
For the next two months, my writing here will document the process of creating a new work of musical theater. This process is lengthy and not particularly glamorous: indeed, much of the groundwork and infrastructure for the project that this creative diary follows has been in development for nearly two years. It is the final portion of the working, however, the tail end, that is most interesting; myths of frantic out-of-town tryouts and hotel rooms covered in scribbled-over drafts abound in theater circles; any given episode of NBC's Smash inevitably invokes the trope. These myths are hyperbolic iterations, but they stem from a real and palpable creative excitement surrounding musical theater work nearing completion—an excitement that I hope to communicate in the postings that follow.
Musical theater typically is a most collaborative art form—there is a composer, a lyricist, a book writer, a director, producers, a musical director, an entire orchestra and ensemble of singers/dancers, and a host of other design staff, every single person contributing to the aesthetic of what the audience experiences. My project is somewhat unusual because, by its nature as an academic thesis, I am required to assume the first four or five roles by myself. Normally, this would be more than problematic, it would be fatal to a production; hence, a lowering of ambitions is in order. The end result of this process is to be what's termed an "unstaged reading." A company of actors with scripts and scores on music stands will take the stage, stand when they are in a scene, and sit down when they are not. Two or three musicians and a narrator to read stage directions will accompany them.
The work itself is an adaptation of a horror film called MAY, directed by Lucky McKee. It is a macabre fairy-tale of sorts, an amalgamation of Frankenstein, Faust, and The Bell Jar (at its heart), and its two most distinctive features are an ensemble of singing imaginary dolls and the extensive and intricate employment of electronic music.
Thanks for reading. Now let's get started.
Students at the Oscars
Posted on: February 27th, 2013 | 0 Comments
by Harvey Burrell
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal explored a group of students at San Francisco's Academy of Art University and their contributions to the Academy Award Nominated film "Beasts of the Southern Wild". "Beasts" was completed for 1.5 million dollars, an impossible low sum of money by Hollywood standards. It took home the Grandy Jury Prize at Sundance and received 4 Oscar nominations. 33 students volunteered to as many as 40 hours per week. All of this was accomplished in a "class dubbed Studio 400A, an advanced elective wherein students offer free visual-effects work for low-budget films." This model places students in meaningful roles on film sets. It is likely to catch many independent producers' eyes. It is an amazing way to cut costs and give students a chance to express themselves creatively. However, it can also turn the corner and become an easy way to exploit tuition playing students. In the case of "Beasts" it worked out for the students, many of whom have received job offers from VFX studios. It can be a fine line, but when walked carefully everyone wins. It is an interesting model to consider as things develop here at the Media Lab.

How to Pet a Shark
Posted on: February 20th, 2013 | 0 Comments
by Rebecca Bernard
You have to use two fingers when you pet a shark. You line them up side by side. Then gently place them in the tank. Let the shark come to you. It will avoid you if you reach for it. Show no desperation.
Most humans spend time growing inside the body of another. Eventually, we surface for air. It is complex and not complex at the same time. The sharks rise to the surface and feel the fingers, flat and together. Often, our mothers hold us, we the newborn.
I am thinking of a story called 'How to be Kind.' The plot, naturally, includes mostly unkind acts and regret. There is much sighing and quiet and longing. The characters ask to be held.
At the aquarium in Kentucky, we saw sharks. Some in tanks, some in great pools. They swam and mingled. Later, I was upset or maybe you were. The memory becomes a swarm of the feelings made at the time. They too, swim and mingle.
It is good to see faces in the mind. In that space I might make them any way I choose. We are born giving pain. We are born without memory. Our mothers hold it for us. The pain and the memory.
At the bottom of the tank there are not jewels or colored stones. It is empty. No plant life. At night, sharks sleep and drift. When the tanks are dark and the groping hands are gone, does peace exist? Nearby, the jellyfish glow.
The sensation is both smooth and violating. I find myself empathizing with the sharks. They swim past, waiting to be touched.
Make Space – How to Set the Stage for Creative Collaboration
Posted on: February 13th, 2013 | 0 Comments
by Harvey Burrell
How do creative people share space?
This is one of the biggest issues when designing a multi-purpose space. The book Make Space draws upon the experience of the Stanford d.school and design consulting firm IDEO. Both of these firms have been heralded as leaders in fostering creativity. The book raised a lot of great questions about space and challenges designers to think beyond the cubicle. It also offers a hands on approach to building a space. Building a space is also a way to build a community. The people involved then become "invested owners rather than entitled users"(31).
Questions to be Answered:
How do we define thresholds/ transitions into new spaces? How do we signify this change?
How do we balance the need to keep storage secure with the desire to have it visible? (Visible tools tend to foster creativity)
What is the attitude or ambience you want your space to create?
How do spectators enter the space? Can they observe quietly and engage when interested?
How do you account for a variety of learning styles in one space?
Ideas to Borrow:
Casters in unexpected places. Allow furniture to move and be reconfigured as needed.
Idea generation happens in a space separate from where we share our ideas. If you share an idea too early it can be squash
Labelled water bottles are an easy way to reduce impact and foster community.
Clear signage. Labeling cabinets and hooks makes it easier for new users and ensures things end up back where they belong.
Headphones = do not interrupt. Have them available.
Put writable surfaces everywhere you can.
The take away message from Make Space is that creative minded individuals need to work in a space that has a "bias towards action". All the elements that go into a space need to be there to foster creative ideas.
It is worth noting that even companies as large as Facebook and Zappos have started designing offices that follow many of the principles outlined in Make Space. http://bit.ly/YJnCqI

We are filled with bones. We carry them with us, daily. The mind changes. The bones change too. But the change is not quite the same. In aging, some bones become hollow. Does this make us bird-like?
As a child, I disliked birds. I preferred dinosaurs. Did the one evolve from the other? We are animals moving thickly forward in space and time. My niece forms castles from rocks. Things remain the same, but perspective changes. Dinosaurs become birds. The brontosaurus never existed. A pile of stones is a pile of stones is a castle. I have a collar bone. Once, it was broken. In mirrors, I see it reflected. Everything is cyclical, but nothing feels cyclical. Each day is new so how might it be seen as being like any other? How close must we look? In gestation did I have a collar bone or did my mother, briefly, have two?
Yesterday I wanted X. Now I want X. What is constant if all things are variables? The changing nature of change. I sit in the mush of my own brain. Has the mush changed over the past five years or is it the outlook? It would seem that life follows an imperfect circle. The tree it forms keeps growing. It is still a tree, not a bird. It is round and wide.
Time is happening. I must hold onto my bones. They remain inside.

I dreamt my mother had lost her hands. I awoke in a California king. Citrus grew outside. Lemons, grapefruit, oranges, clementines. Balloons floated in the pool. Mountains rose on either side. This is a place I hadn't been to before.
It is strange to fly across the United States. The deserts, vast. The earth like so much dried up fish skin. After I saw the film The Passenger I couldn't stop thinking about dust. Wouldn't it be nice to swim inside our own unconscious apart from ourselves? That way we could look at all the thoughts, order them like paint strips. Today, I am latte.
To return eastward we flew over the Pacific Ocean. An arc. The ocean appeared. I thought, oh, all this time this is where I was. On the lips of the land. We know things in different ways. Seeing the water then, it felt like I hadn't known the land ended. Islands appeared. All of our consciousnesses lined up, it becomes a chattering world.
What would she do without hands? Do we learn more from order or from parataxis? This is a word I have just, myself, learned.

There is something about being in a car and not moving. Three hours in one spot on the highway. Parked. The strange sense of false movement when the other lanes begin to creep and you are standing still. Up ahead, is there blood? Is the asphalt a canvas of someone else's' loss? Humans in still unison.
I have spent time in cars: parked, moving, idling. It can be a good place to be, the car. I picture all the air from all the cars I've ever experienced. That closeness. It filling an auditorium. A stadium. Me forgetting the individual moments. The memories I hold in a state of constant revision as I remember and re-remember them.
We're in an empty parking lot. It's the weekend. The white lines like rows and rows of even teeth. Our youth flexes its thin arms. What is that strange feeling of holding a memory in your gut? The atom splits with sadness and joy together. A place of motion, and you held still. Rephrasing a sentence. The night is hot. It is a hot night. How do the changes affect the characters? Is that what I wonder about? Part of my life is spent in traffic. Part of my life is spent in traffic. If I say it twice, does it mean something unique each time? I am trying to remember.
The Joy of the Sing-Along
Posted on: January 21st, 2013 | 0 Comments
by Rebecca Bernard
Sometimes I listen to music. It is an oftentimes thing. This act, the listening to music, is a thing that many people do. In the past week, on Tuesday, I saw a singer perform. It was a thing that I had been anticipating a good deal. Only, in the days before the show itself, the anticipation stopped. It ceased and there was instead something of a feeling of dread or anxiety. This feeling or intuition was not misplaced. I do not believe the show was something that I could have enjoyed only this realization came latent. It was during the first chords of the first song that I realized I wasn't actually there.
I am currently re-reading a text that is a favorite of mine, The Moviegoer by Walker Percy. I am thinking about certification. Certification occurs when an individual sees his or her place of living portrayed in a film or on television. I have twice lived in places that were certified. Once in New York, and then again, here in Nashville. At the time, I am not sure that this led to any greater feeling or sense of awareness. The more I think about certification, lately, the more it starts to make sense to me. In Percy's essay, "The Loss of the Creature," he describes how it is almost impossible to see the Grand Canyon if one approaches it in the traditional ways. However, if one were to stumble upon it—the experience and vision would truly have the potential to be their own. Seeing a place that we see everyday is impossible, but perhaps the act of seeing a place we know from the perspective of a film makes it knowable to us anew.
I was never going to be able to see Jeff Mangum. The levels of premeditation, the fandom, the traveling—it all led to an experience steeped in the inauthentic. I have more of a chance of seeing him alone in my car on a drive to anywhere than I did that night. And in a way, this is the best part. Authentic experience is everywhere. Waiting. So the work to be done is my own. Here's to listening.

|A geometric perspective on induction and restriction in tempered representation theory, 2
|Noncommutative Geometry Seminar
|Nigel Higson, Penn State
|These talks are about the decomposition of the regular representation of a group like SL(2,R) into its irreducible constituents. The decomposition has both continuous and discrete parts, and more specifically my talk is about the continuous part, which arises through so-called parabolic induction. I'll describe a bimodule construction, due in the C*-algebra context to Pierre Clare, that gives parabolic induction a noncommutative-geometric form. It is also possible to construct an opposite "parabolic restriction" bimodule, and the question of whether the induction and restriction bimodules are adjoint to one another will be my main concern.

I have been trying to convert an M10/45 SMG to 9MM. I have the correct upper, bolt, etc. I have a Cobray mag well insert that seems to fit. When I try to use M10 mags, the weapon will feed a round but will not consistantly fire the round. I think the bolt is losing a little momentum when coming foreward. I have take a little off the mag catch and it is not getting any better. Any ideas?
for those that care, this is an NFA weapon.

The Shirelles were one of the earliest and certainly among the very best girl groups from the late Fifties and early Sixties. No less a rock and roll expert than John Lennon proclaimed the Shirelles his favorite group in the early days of Beatlemania. They were themselves fans of the Chantels (of "Maybe" fame), the Flamingos, and Little Anthony and the Imperials. The Shirelles have also been called the female counterparts of the Drifters. Both were vocal groups from the New York metropolitan area who had an R&B grounding and a fondness for Latin rhythms and string arrangements. The Shirelles recorded for the New York-based Scepter label from 1959 to 1968 and enjoyed sustained success from 1960-63, during which they charted a dozen Top Forty singles. With their innocent, unblemished vocal style, the Shirelles projected a "girl next door" image, and their songs about young love and its travails appealed to youthful pop fans. Moreover, the Shirelles' material and production was almost uniformly excellent, particularly during the glory years of the early Sixties.
Formed in 1957, members Shirley Alston Reeves, Addie "Micki" Harris, Doris Kenner Jackson and Beverly Lee were high-school students in Passaic, New Jersey. A fellow student heard the Pequellos, as they called themselves, perform at a school talent show. She brought them to the attention of her mother, Florence Greenberg, who owned a small label. Renaming themselves the Shirelles, they released their first hit, "I Met Him on a Sunday," on Greenberg's Tiara Records. It was picked up for national distribution from Decca and narrowly missed the Top Forty in 1958. The single established the Shirelles and helped Greenberg launch the legendary Scepter label.
In 1959 they first released the classic "Dedicated to the One I Love," originally recorded by the "5" Royales. Though it barely dented the Top 100, it soared to #3 upon re-release in 1961. Six years after that, the Mamas and the Papas, who recorded the song in a near-identical arrangement, carried the song to #2. Of the more than two dozen Shirelles singles released on Scepter, their biggest hits were "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" – the first #1 hit for songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King – and the sentimental, unison-sung "Soldier Boy." During their heyday at Scepter, the Shirelles worked closely with producer and songwriter Luther Dixon. Another frequent contributor to Shirelles sessions was saxophone titan King Curtis, who can be heard soloing on such favorites as "Boys." One of the Shirelles' biggest hits, "Baby It's You," represented one of the earliest collaborations between songwriters Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The group numbered among its boosters the influential promoters Dick Clark and Murray Kaufman (a.k.a. "Murray the K").
The only thing that could stop the Shirelles, ironically, was the Beatles – or, more precisely, the British Invasion, which basically brought about a major shift in popular music. The Shirelles were among its casualties; they would, in fact, never crack the Top Forty after mid-1963. The group did continue recording for Scepter until 1968 and for other labels after that. The oldies revival of the Seventies kept them busy on the concert circuit, and they sang two songs in the 1973 film documentary Let the Good Times Roll. To this day, a version of the Shirelles led by original member Beverly Lee remains active.

ZF-2257: Zend_Acl - access control list processing error
Bug example follows:
require_once 'Zend/Acl.php';
require_once 'Zend/Acl/Resource.php';
require_once 'Zend/Acl/Role.php';
$acl = new Zend_Acl();
$acl->addRole(new Zend_Acl_Role('foo'));
$acl->add(new Zend_Acl_Resource('bar'));
echo 'access to bar by foo is '.($acl->isAllowed('foo','bar') ? 'allowed' : 'denied');
I've encountered an error during processing simple ACL. First, we allow acces to resource 'bar' by 'foo' role, and then we deny access to all resources by this role. Expecting result is 'denied', but unfortunately 'allowed' appears on screen...
ACL works as expected when we explictly pass a resource to deny method, - try change last acl line to:
This is not a bug, it works as intended. $acl->deny('foo') means deny 'foo' access to all resources where other rules have not been defined. It basically sets a default.
Please evaluate and categorize as necessary.
I still think that it's a bug.
If $acl->allow('foo') gives access to ALL resources to foo role, then why $acl->deny('foo') doesn't do opposite ? If, as you say, $acl->deny('foo') means deny 'foo' access to all resources where other rules have not been defined then why $acl->deny('foo', 'bar') doesn't mean the same (deny 'foo' access to 'bar' WHERE OTHER RULES HAVE NOT BEEN DEFINED) ???
Besides, I'd understand your explanation if it really should be used to set a default values, BUT it is the way acl works by default WITHOUT explictly calling $acl->deny(). So what is a deny() method() possible NULL values for? If it shouldn't be called with NULL values then why are they declared as default in following php implementation?
public function deny($roles = null, $resources = null, $privileges = null, Zend_Acl_Assert_Interface $assert = null)
You should throw an exception in such a situation and not declare it as default.
After I review ZF ACL php code It looks for me like that it is a consequence of chosen implementation and it's not easily fixable.
I agree with you, Bogdan, that it is very confusing. The documentation should make clear, that a "null" value doesn´t actually mean "all" roles/resources but "all, if not defined otherwise".
But I think a change to this issue would have some performance impact as in your example, the whole rule tree would have to be traversed to deny every single rule that was allowed for the various resources (child resources of what you want to deny). The other way around "$acl->allow('admin');" would have to set "allow" for every previously set rule.
So I would suggest a convention, that either, you don´t use resources at all ($resource = null) or always define resources, but never mixing those two approaches. When using both, "null" should only be used as a fallback setting.
Perhaps this issue would be more completely resolved with additions and/or modifications to the documentation. Indeed, the behavior described is the behavior intended - that the use of {{null}} implies a fallback or default rule in the case where a more specific rule does not apply. In general, Zend_Acl obeys a given rule if and only if a more specific rule does not apply.
Shall we reopen the issue until documentation is updated thusly?
In general, Zend_Acl obeys a given rule if and only if a more specific rule does not apply.
And that's a sentence missing in documentation! It explains every "problem" mentioned in this issue. I think issue should be reopened until documentation is updated.
Reopening pending addition to documentation.
Resolved with SVN r9112.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

I recently crossed paths with an old friend while going inside "the Walmarts," where Lancaster's movers and shakers meet these days.
And right off the cuff, he called me a city boy.
That was bad enough, but he didn't stop there.
It really made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when he said, "According to your articles in the paper, all you do is go to grammar school and build them cardboard airplanes."
In the epic novels penned by the the late Zane Grey, a 44-caliber Colt revolver with its 8-inch-long barrel was often referred to as "The Equalizer."
It was all I could do to keep quiet.
This young fella sitting beside me started snickering and pointing at an older gentleman who was walking by.
The lips of the old man (who by the way, was about my age) were moving, but he wasn't saying anything.
I didn't see anything strange about his behavior at all. It looked perfectly normal to me.
Bless Pete, I used to do it all the time when I was growing up.
Evidently, this young upstart is not attune to the wonderful world of invisible friends.
According to Momma (and the Esso Oil Co. calendar hanging on the back of our kitchen door), it was finally spring.
Goodbye, cold frosty mornings. A hearty hello to yellow bell (forsythia) bushes and jonquils, which were waking up in just about every yard along Chesterfield Avenue.
Trouble was, I had a real doozy of a cold, sniffles, coughing and a fever.
I felt terrible (except for the fact I was spending this Monday at home).
It's never smart to utter the phrase, "Boy, I've learned my lesson. I'm never gonna do that again."
It's often been said that the road to perdition is paved with good intentions.
I might not intend to make the same lapse in judgment, but chances are likely that I will, and have.
I wasn't always a choirboy.
A couple of years ago I shared my rather shady adventures passing out picture show programs.
Hey, at the time it seemed like a good idea, especially when the pay involved free movie passes.
Old sayings often end up being right on the mark.
One of them which I know to be true is, "Two's company and three's a crowd."
When two friends get together, they can sort out whether to attempt some undertaking or decide on a different approach.
Three people get into a bind because, two agree and the third one just follows along until a falling out occurs.
When I reached the age of a responsible teenager, one of my jobs was seeing to a herd of Black Angus cattle on our farm just below Bell Town.
These days, common ground is hard to come by.
So when you find a patch of it, you like the feel of it under your bare feet.
A while back, one morning in Sunday School, I found some common ground.
A gentleman I once worked for told me although he grew up in Atlanta, the antics of young boys here and there in the 1940s were pretty similar.
Bless Pete, I reckon he had a fondness for old cardboard refrigerator boxes, too.
It made me smile.
Bless Pete, Saturday was finally here. After a tough week, I was ready for a trip to the picture show.
These weekend adventures had become a big deal for me. I had finally reached the "age of trust."
That meant I was now old enough to walk uptown by myself and go to the Saturday morning show without an adult chaperon.
However, Mama's general definition of trust was somewhat different.
"That means you're old enough to have good sense about some things," she said.
I can identify with the folks on this new cable television show who have an inability to part with belongings they should've thrown out long ago.
At one time, I conceived a plan to sort our accumulated junk and haul it off to the green boxes by the racetrack on a regular basis.
However, since retirement, that's kind of got shoved to the back of the drawer, so to speak.
Of course, I can't blame anybody else. I have fallen down on my job.
But in my defense, stuff just looks different now.
I've been in southern Maryland for several weeks now.
After what happened here on Wednesday, I may be snowed-bound for a spell.
Christmas was white from an earlier snowfall, but folks were able to navigate.
Sand and salt trucks and snow plows were busy. The roads cleared, even in neighborhoods, schoolchildren didn't miss a day of reading, writing or arithmetic. But all that has changed. An additional 2 foot of snow has everything here almost at a standstill.
It sort of reminds me of Lancaster.

Interfaith Peacebuilding and Community Revitalization
- Date submitted: 28 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Interfaith Peacebuilding and Community Revitalization
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionA Four Page Summary of The IPCR Initiative [Note: All of the documents, resources, etc at the website of The Interfaith Peacebuilding and Community Revitalization (IPCR) Initiative (www.ipcri.net ) are accessible for free. The IPCR Journal/Newsletter (Winter 2010-2011 issue, 58 pages) is referenced in this ?Four Page Summary of The IPCR Initiative? because it is the most comprehensive short introduction to The IPCR Initiative yet created in the almost six years The IPCR Initiative has been on the Internet.] Many Difficult Challenges Ahead We now live in very complex world. There are many difficult challenges ahead. These challenges include, but are not limited to: a) global warming and reducing carbon emissions b) peak oil and reducing dependence on petroleum based products c) global inequities and the tragic cycles of malnutrition, disease, and death d) an increasing world population requiring more resources when many resources are becoming more scarce (with a special emphasis on the increasing number of people who are consuming resources and ecological services indiscriminately) e) cultures of violence, greed, corruption, and overindulgence?which have become so common that many of us accept such as inevitable; which are a significant part of the current crises of confidence in financial markets; and which are in many ways slowing the restructuring of investment priorities needed to respond to an increasing number of other critical challenges f) a marginalization of the wisdom associated with religious, spiritual, and moral traditions More and more people are coming to the realization that overcoming the challenges of our times will require problem solving on a scale most of us have never known before?and that there is an urgent need to restructure our economic systems and our education systems to respond to these challenges. How can we get more ?on track? with the problem solving we so urgently need to do? Gaining a Deeper Appreciation for How Comprehensive Peacebuilding Efforts Can Be There are many propositions which are explored in depth by The IPCR Initiative--for their potential to provide solutions. Here are three which are at the center of The IPCR peacebuilding approach: a) There are countless numbers of ?things people can do in the everyday circumstances of their lives? which will contribute to peacebuilding, community revitalization, and ecological sustainability efforts, in their own communities and regions?and in other parts of the world. b) Everyone is involved when it comes to determining the markets which supply the ?ways of earning a living?. (The ways we ?invest? our time, energy, and money have a direct impact on the ?ways of earning a living? that are available). c) People can, one by one, decide to deliberately channel the way they ?invest? their time, energy, and money so that these ?investments? are in many ways supportive of solution-oriented activity. (All of us have important responsibilities associated with resolving a significant number of very serious challenges in the months and years ahead.) The feature article in The IPCR Journal/Newsletter (Winter 2010-2011 issue) is ?The IPCR Initiative: Creating a Multiplier Effect of a Positive Nature?. From this article, and other supporting pieces in the 58 page issue, an IPCR peacebuilding approach emerges which may be summarized as follows: 1. A central focus of The IPCR Initiative is its advocacy for a combination Community Visioning Initiatives, "Community Teaching and Learning Centers" with ongoing workshops, and "sister community" relationships as a way of generating an exponential increase in our collective capacity to overcome the challenges of our times. 2. Community Visioning Initiatives can be described as a series of community meetings designed to facilitate the process of brainstorming ideas, organizing the ideas into goals, prioritizing the goals, and identifying doable steps. One of the main goals of Community Visioning Initiatives is to maximize citizen participation in identifying challenges, and in solution-oriented activity. 3. The concept of ?Community Teaching and Learning Centers? (created by the ?TeachersWithout Borders? organization) (modified and expanded by the The IPCR Initiative) is about creating many local community points of entry which function as information and resource centers, locations for workshops, and locations for the training of ?teacher-leaders?. 4. Results from well thought out preliminary surveys (circulated to at least 150 key leaders from a significant variety of fields of activity in the community) can help residents appreciate the need for a Community Visioning Initiative, and for ?Community Teaching and Learning Centers? (CTLCs)?and help determine the topics to be covered by workshops in the CTLCs. The IPCR Initiative advocates for Community Visioning Initiatives?supported by many ?Community Teaching and Learning Centers?? which are time-intensive, lasting even as much as 1� years (18 months), so as to give as much importance to developing a close-knit community as it does to a) accumulating and integrating the knowledge and skill sets necessary for the highest percentage of people to act wisely in response to challenges identified as priority challenges b) helping people to deliberately channel their time, energy, and money into the creation of ?ways of earning a living? which are directly related to resolving high priority challenges c) assisting with outreach, partnership formation, and development of service capacity for a significant number of already existing (or forming) organizations, businesses, institutions, and government agencies d) helping to build a high level of consensus for specific action plans, which will help inspire additional support from people, businesses, organizations, institutions, and government agencies with significant resources 5. Sister community relationships: communities with the resources to do so matching up with communities in other countries where there has been well documented calls for assistance with basic human needs. These ?sister community? relationships can create service work capable of uniting diverse communities of people, and a variety of opportunities for person-to-person peacebuilding. 6. Specific evidence for Proposition a) above (of the countless numbers of ?things people can do??) is provided by the ?Links? section at The IPCR Initiative website, which a) identifies 117 fields of activity related to peacebuilding, community revitalization, and ecological sustainability b) provides comprehensive, detailed, and practical starting points for becoming involved?or increasing involvement?in these fields of activity. 7. In addition, one very important feature of the Community Visioning Initiatives the IPCR Initiative advocates for is the job fairs which come at the end of the Community Visioning Initiative process. Such job fairs provide opportunities for all key stakeholders in the community (businesses, organizations, institutions, government, etc) to demonstrate their upgraded awareness?and their interest in the welfare of the community?by offering and facilitating new employment opportunities? and thus assisting with a just transition from patterns of investment which in only limited ways represent solutions to prioritized challenges to patterns of investment which in many ways represent solutions to prioritized challenges. 8. This approach to maximizing citizen participation in solution-oriented activity also provides many opportunities for local newspapers to contribute very valuable community services (for example: making preliminary survey results accessible; carrying out ongoing community specific surveys; highlighting inspirational role models and initiatives associated with the 117 related fields of activity; describing workshop activity in the ?Community Teaching and Learning Centers?; reporting on the planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow up stages associated with Community Visioning Initiatives; etc). This writer feels it is critical for people in every variety of circumstances to gain a deep appreciation for how comprehensive peacebuilding efforts can be?how every person in communities around the world can do something to contribute to the greater good of the whole. And yet?even with all the potential associated with the Internet , and even with community building processes like the ones outlined above, we can still fail to overcome the challenges of our times? if we are not completely honest with ourselves about our shortcomings? and if we fail to access?and apply?the treasured wisdom of religious, spiritual, and moral traditions (the accumulated storehouses of wisdom on how to cultivate compassion and forgiveness?for our fellow human beings? and for ourselves). We Must Help Each Other?and Restore Confidence in the Higher Values of Life We must be honest with ourselves about what is going on: people who are not sufficiently informed about critical issues are everywhere, and they are investing their time, energy, and money?voting?all the time? and yet?an exponential increase in compassion for our fellow human beings is not, currently, widely recognized as an essential and critical element of truly comprehensive response to the challenges of our times. (One of the most persistent ironies in life is that with so many opportunities to provide real assistance to fellow human beings?and with the potential for such assistance to result in happiness ?to those who extend help as well as to those who receive it??there are still many, many people in this world who cannot find a ?way to earn a living? providing such assistance.) This writer believes that there are many serious challenges before us now, and that we will need to invest our time, energy, and money very wisely to overcome these challenges. How can we do it? We must help each other. There may be many people in our communities who use irresponsible and disrespectful language in ways which do not suggest that their motive is to respectfully provide good service to their fellow human beings, and contribute to the greater good of the whole. And there may be people in our communities who?regardless of the difficulties and urgencies associated with resolving multiple crises?choose to focus their attention of trying to make money by preying of people?s fears, manipulating people?s trust, and/or encouraging people to abandon hope in higher aspirations, and indulge in unhealthy, or immoral behavior. The IPCR Initiative recognizes that such behavior is clearly counterproductive to the building of caring communities; it can be very dangerous for community morale; and it can become a crippling obstacle in times of crises. Many people may think it is na�ve to imagine that people from so many diverse religious, spiritual, moral, and cultural traditions can decide to come together in such a way as to not only encourage, but participate in, a high percentage of constructive thinking and constructive action in response to the difficult challenges ahead (as in the high levels of participation encouraged by comprehensive Community Visioning Initiatives). From this writer?s point of view, such skepticism and cynicism depend for their existence on doubts as to whether it is possible for people to achieve highly advanced forms of wisdom and compassion through genuine instruction and sincere effort. Thus it is that there is a great responsibility on those people who are in any way representatives of religious, spiritual, and/or moral traditions?to demonstrate what is possible along the lines of wisdom and compassion, to provide genuine instruction when sincere efforts are being made, to contribute to the greater good of the whole, and to help restore confidence in the higher values of life. The IPCR Initiative is developing tools and resources with the belief that it must somehow be possible for people from many diverse religious, spiritual, moral, and cultural traditions to come together in such a way as to not only encourage, but participate in, a high percentage of constructive thinking and constructive action in response to the difficult challenges ahead? and that?as a result of that being possible?it will also be possible for many people to achieve highly advanced forms of wisdom and compassion through genuine instruction and sincere effort. The IPCR Journal/Newsletter (Winter 2010-2011 issue; 58 pages) includes: a) an 11 page introduction to The IPCR Initiative (?Creating a Multiplier Effect of a Positive Nature?) b) a 15 step outline for Community Visioning Initiatives c) 8 sample questions for a preliminary survey d) a list of 117 related fields of activity e) an introduction to the concept ?Peace Returned on Resources Invested? f) a 9 page section titled ?A Call to Women?s Organizations Associated with Peacebuilding and Philanthropy? g) a section describing opportunities for local newspapers to contribute valuable community service ?and thus contains enough detail associated with the IPCR peacebuilding approach outlined above to be a valuable starting point for brainstorming sessions, exploratory meetings, and workshops associated with planning and implementing a Community Visioning Initiative. I invite readers of this message to access The IPCR Journal/Newsletter (Winter 2010-2011 issue) for free, at the website of The IPCR Initiative (www.ipcri.net ). We have the resources necessary to overcome the challenges of our times? and-- --as a result of the unprecedented opportunities created by the expansion of the Internet, we have now arrived at a very auspicious moment in time? for at no other time in the course of history has so many people had access to so much in the way of time-tested guidelines, inspiring role models, and serviceoriented initiatives relevant to peace, prosperity, and happiness. Never before has a generation of human beings had such opportunities as are accessible to this generation of human beings. Thousands of years of human efforts in every field of activity has now culminated in opportunities to discover how much of this potential can be fulfilled. This writer urges every one of the readers of this message to make the sacrifices necessary to discover how much of the potential can be fulfilled.

ZF-10276: Finnish translation for Zend_Validate messages
Includes fi_FI translation for Zend_Validate
The attached resource files adds 33 errors. Please solve these 33 errors so we can add it to our core. See "resources/AllTests" for details on the failed tests for the language "fi"
What a tedious job :( "phpunit AllTests.php | grep \'fi | wc -l" returns 22 atm.
I did this for 1.10.7. How dynamic these message templates really are? Am I supposed to fix this many keys in translation file between every minor release, only because the English template was modified? Wouldn't it be better if the keys were "real" template keys e.g. 'ipInvalid', 'notIpAddress', etc.
For example what's the value of this kind of changes: "Invalid type given, value should be a string" => "Invalid type given. String expected"
In my opinion this is not any better English, only marginally shorter and as user friendly as the previous one. Some of the changes were reasonable for example
"Luhn algorithm (mod-10 checksum) failed on '%value%'" => "'%value%' seems to contain an invalid checksum"
which is much more user friendly.
So let me ask. What's the real purpose of these translation files? Straight translations for English ones, giving more information for developer or not straight ones being more user friendly. In production, I'm using much simpler translations to achieve better user experience, but here I thought that the straight translations fit better in ZF resources. It's not easy to serve both purposes from one resource file. Refering to the discussion in #zftalk.dev... Swedish resource file has been erased, because it was complained not to be Swedish. I think that it is as much Swedish as my Finnish resource file is Finnish. It is the language what developers tend to write in their error messages.
New resource files will only be included for 1.11 as they are no bug fix.
This means of course that these resource files have to be correct at the time when they are integrated into ZF. It would be no good way to integrate files when we know that they have missing content.
Regarding dynamic: These messages are not very dynamic.
Still there was the problem that many original strings were not identical... 4 different strings for the same purpose. This has been fixed for 1.11 and therefor also some of the resource strings change for 1.11.
Also to note that when there are new validators also new resource strings are available. These should be translated for each new minor release.
Regarding purpose: These files are just a help. In past every developer had to do these translations himself. Now ZF provides them out of the box. But this does not mean that you have to use them... you can still do your own translations when you feel that you need a simpler translation as mentioned by you.
Regarding template keys: No this would be no good way. Reason is that untranslated strings would be returned as "key" instead of string... this would lead to users having "notRead" instead of "the file is not readable"... for a user it's still better to get a english source string returned instead of a unreadable key.
Regarding swedish: Some swedish members said that these resource files are not correct and should be removed. When even some swedish people say that than we non swedish speaking people should believe it. All members are free to correct these translation or to answer the mail which you are referring to. As this has not been done until now there must be something correct on what those swedish members said.
Updated Finnish resource file for 1.11
Thomas thanks for anwering... I will check what I can do with sv translation file.
Implemented with r22814
Regarding swedish resource files you may want to contact Danny Fröhberg and Andy Jannson by Mailinglist

DON'T CREAM OVER CLOONEY — The guys who make us older babes cream our panties are not the same as the ones who turn on the younger set. Liam, George, Brad, Will, Bruce, Clive — oh God, Clive — may look great to us, but younger women think they're just crusty. So what's the answer: To try and get turned on by Zac and…..oh, I guess they're all named Zac. Never mind. Just keep your old crushes to yourself.
DON'T ADMIT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF AUDRINA, LEIGHTON, PENN, GINNIFER or BAR — Look at the cover of celebrity magazines and have no clue who any of those people are? True, they may be the "stars" of reality shows or this week's teen drama or simply of a one-night stand with a real celeb. But acting like the magazine is the one with the problem will not make you seem cooler or younger. If you can't stand to actually follow the shows or even buy the rags, at least bring yourself up to date online every month or two.
DON'T ACT SHOCKED THAT MADONNA IS 50. OOOPS, SHE'LL BE 53 ON AUGUST 16 — You may think it's remarkable that Madonna can jump all over the stage like that, and think she looks pretty damn amazing. But to anybody not-old, Madonna may look positively wizened.
DON'T BE OUTRAGED BY OUTRAGEOUS YOUNG HOLLYWOOD — Drugs, tattoos, going commando. having multiple babies outside of marriage and multiple affairs inside it: These are all par for the course in young Hollywood. But acting shocked by it is like Granny being scandalized by Debbie Reynolds' divorce or that nice Rock Hudson turning out to be gay.
DISCOVER SOME "NEW" STARS YOUR OWN AGE — Two of the most inspiring recent performances were by not-young stars: Philippe Petit's Oscar-winning documentary Man on Wire and Patti Smith's great covers album Twelve. Celebrating mature celebrities who are adventurous and forward-thinking — who don't act old — is the best way not to act old yourself.
Other celebs who take chances and defy conventions of what they "should" be doing at whatever age: Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Jen Aniston, Whoopi Goldberg, Holly Hunter. Have I missed anyone? Comment below.

"I found a college that I will be comfortable attending. The visit to Ithaca College makesme want to continue working harder, and focus on taking more challenging courses in my school. I will definitely start taking my priorities more seriously."
—Yeury Amarante, HS for Media & Communications
July 22, promptly at 6 a.m., students from HS for Media & Communications and Innovation Diploma Plus (IDP) High School gathered at George Washington High School and departed for a two day tour of Skidmore College, Syracuse University, Ithaca College, and SUNY Cortland. Catholic Charities Alianza Division initially contacted parents about the upstate tour, stressing the importance of higher education as a means of breaking the cycle of poverty.
Alianza is a division of Catholic Charities that provides comprehensive community support through a number of programs spanning from domestic violence assistance to immigrant advocacy — and at a time when the New York Times reports that elite colleges are lagging in their efforts to recruit students from financially challenged backgrounds, Alianza is rising to the challenge.
Students from IDP and HS for Media & Communications have been to Alianza-coordinated college fairs and career days before as part of the program's larger mission to encourage youth to finish school and think about their future. Seeing the actual campuses, however, they were able to picture themselves going to college in a way that fairs and brochures simply can't emulate.
"Attending this trip gave me the opportunity to meet new people and to look beyond my expectations. I did not think that college was for me, but now I know that I have the potential to enroll in college and major in my area of interest, which is music."
— Steven Arias, Innovation Diploma HS.

Hey guys.
Apologies that I have been away for such a long time. The last two years have been spent as Props Weapon Maker for the Hobbit movies, writing books ('Burnt Ice' was published in April 2012 and is just out on the Kindle platform) living in Wellington (hated being away from home but we all do what we have too to survive and pay the bills eh) building the models etc........ yeah busy as hell!!
So this is the next build. Called 'The Maul' it is a ground support craft which is first met in the next book of the first trilogy called 'Crystal Venom' which is coming out in August.
Over the next few months I shall take you all through each step of the build.
First stage: rough dimensional drawings in the 1/20 scale.

Thanks Dave, yeah scratch building is so much fun........and as you know it sucks up so many hours just looking for the right bits and pieces to incorporate in the build. My wife hates me diving into the cheap plastic shops and getting excited about some $2 toy! That and me telling all the relatives not to throw out any of their cosmetic containers.
Scale is 1/20. Probably another 100 plus hours in it yet.
So when will you get your workshop back?

Still at least another 100 hours in it........moving goal post :-)

This question already has an answer here:
I am going cycle touring and I am packing a first aid kit to take with me. What items are essential to have in there, and what items are 'extra'? I have found it difficult to find clear information about this. I am thinking to take the usual: painkillers, fluid replacement, sterile swabs, cold medicines, anti-histamines, diarrhoea medicine. What else?

The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches.

$30 Million Pledge to Start Indiana's First College of Osteopathic Medicine
by John Armitage | Nov 27, 2012
Indiana Osteopathic Association endorses Marian University's proposal to start Indiana's first College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Thank you for your interest in the announcement about a college of osteopathic medicine at Marian University. We are in the very early stages of seeking accreditation and are not yet ready to evaluate possible partners, employees or students. Visit thecollege of osteopathic medicine web page for updates. Media Coverage Click the image to download this one MB file. For many years, theIndiana Osteopathic Association (IOA;www.inosteo.org) has envisioned a college of osteopathic medicine in this state. On Tuesday, January 5, the board of the IOA, representing approximately 800 osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) in Indiana, voted to endorse a proposal submitted by Marian University. This vote of confidence cleared the way for the Board of Trustees of Marian University to approve a feasibility/implementation study that includes accreditation milestones, curriculum design, facility construction, and faculty search. The Board of Trustees will review and approve each step in the process to achieve full accreditation by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. Marian University's proposal included a $30 million pledge from an anonymous donor—nearly half of the anticipated $75 million development cost. The $30 million pledge is the largest gift that the university has ever received. "Indiana does not currently have a college of osteopathic medicine, and those who want to become an osteopathic physician must go out of the state," said Marian University president Daniel J. Elsener. "We have been encouraged by the leaders of Indiana's healthcare industry to consider this venture, and we have heard that call," he continued. A college of osteopathic medicine will complement and strengthen Indiana's existing medical programs, particularly as it relates to educating more primary care physicians (currently Indiana has 855 actively licensed D.O.s). Marian University's proposal team was led by Daniel J. Elsener, president; Dr. Thomas J. Enneking, provost; Dr. Anita Siccardi, dean of the School of Nursing; Dr. Loren Bertocci, dean of the School of Mathematics and Sciences; and key people from the Board of Trustees. In a letter to IOA member physicians that was mailed earlier this week, IOA board president Thomas G. Akre, D.O. indicated that the association's endorsement because of the university's existing relationships in the healthcare community. "Our decision was based in part on [Marian University's] affiliations with large hospital systems that can provide a variety of strong clinical experiences for third and fourth year students," wrote Akre. The endorsement also creates an exciting opportunity for Marian University to respond to meet the healthcare needs of underserved urban and rural communities. The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) is keenly interested in educating more doctors who are willing to practice in underserved rural and urban communities. "Osteopathic physicians are twice as likely as their colleagues who graduate from medical school as M.D.s to be primary care physicians, and twice as likely to practice in rural areas," said IOA executive director Michael H. Claphan, CAE. He also explained that osteopathic physicians are trained to treat the health of the whole person, which is an approach to healthcare that is deeply compatible with Marian University's Franciscan and Catholic values and its approach to educating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Marian University's long-term effort to recruiting students from high need areas also caught the attention of the IOA subcommittee in charge of the selection process. "Indiana's osteopathic physicians are deeply concerned with the gaps in healthcare that exist not only in rural Indiana, but also in urban areas throughout Indiana," said Claphan. "Recruiting students from these communities is important because we know from experience that they will tend to go back to those areas as doctors to work and live." Marian University has the state's second highest minority enrollment at over 18 percent, and is one of the most ardent supporters of the state's21st Century Scholars program. "We recognize that the IOA has high expectations that we will build and operate an excellent college of osteopathic medicine," said Elsener. "Marian University is well positioned to operate a top tier medical school grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition and built on the strong liberal arts foundation that has been the hallmark of a Marian University education in Indianapolis since 1937. We are committed to providing an education that will create physicians who provide expert care, and that their hearts and spirits are those becoming of a deeply caring and compassionate healthcare provider, especially to those most vulnerable and in need." Elsener pointed to the university's existing programs in nursing and education, and its emphasis on service to the community, as proof of the commitment to even greater contributions to the social, economic, and cultural well being of Indiana, the country, and beyond. "On occasions of bold endeavors such as this, we are reminded of the Sisters of St. Francis, Oldenburg, who have instilled in the Marian University community the courage to venture into new realms of service to humanity. It is also an occasion to thank the dedicated faculty, staff, Board of Trustees, and donors who collaborate with us in offering a transformative educational experience," Elsener continued.

|Residents with Disabilites Advisory Committee
Township Committee Liaison
The RDAC is a committee of Montville Township residents who volunteer to meet monthly and pursue issues which come to the Committee's attention involving accessibility to township services and facilities. Over the past two years, we have served the community by working on the following items:
-Attended a Morris County Community Development Revenue Sharing Committee hearing in Morristown in support of the Township's grant application for county monies to fund the installation of automatic doors to the municipal building and add two handicap accessible parking spots closer to the entrance of the building.
-Met with members of the Board of Education, the Superintendent of Schools, and others to advise on the design of new bleachers in the high school gym and made accessibility recommendations for same. We also recommended signage to indicate handicap entrances into the auxiliary gym.
-Made requests for improvements to various municipal and educational facilities, including the high school, Woodmont School, the dog park, the municipal building and the public safety building to address various accessibility issues for the handicapped/wheelchair bound.
