Look3: Josef Koudelka on the Measure of a Photographer, Courage, and Controlling Your Own Destiny
Legendary photographer Josef Koudelka packed the house at the Paramount Theater in downtown Charlottesville during the Look3 Festival of the Photograph over the weekend, and the audience greeted him with a standing ovation after master of ceremonies, photographer Vince Musi, announced that Koudelka had been reluctant to participate. Koudelka, who has a reputation as a lone wolf among a group of peers known for their independence, has rarely granted interviews during a career that spans more than 40 years.
"Of course I don't feel very comfortable to be here. I am not a good speaker," said Koudelka, who was nevertheless gracious to Anne Wilkes Tucker, curator at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, who was also on stage to interview him. "I don't know what she's going to ask me, [but] I gave her assurance I would answer everything…I will try to be as honest as possible."
Koudelka also told the audience at the outset that he "never listened much to what [other] photographers say," and recounted how Henri Cartier-Bresson had asked him to read and comment on the text of The Decisive Moment before that book was published. "I said to Bresson I'm really not interested and I'm not going to read it." Koudelka added, "I think the best portrait of a photographer are his photographs, so please judge me on my photographs."

It is the 40th Anniversary of my father's passing. I cannot believe it has been 40 years. We went deep into the photo archives to put together a piece for you that is more of an intimate look at his life - his family, his friends, his childhood - to commemorate Bruce Lee's life and legacy that continues to inspire us all. The music that accompanies the video, 'Be Like Water' was written and performed by recording artist Mozez specifically for this tribute.
I hope you will all take a little time out of your day to watch.

Jenni Kayne Turns Ten
Designer Jenni Kayne, one of Los Angeles' most fashionable figures, celebrated her ten year anniversary with an exciting night of dinner and dancing. Kayne, who launched her label in 2003, could not have been more excited: after a whirlwind year that included the opening of her second store (in the Brentwood Country Mart) and launch of two blogs (Rip+Tan and Ladys & Gents), she recently announced the opening of two additional stores in Montecito.
La Brea's newest art gallery Kayne Griffin Corcoran (currently home to a much-talked-about James Turrell retrospective), did double duty as host of Kayne's party, which was a night to remember as friends, family and clientele all came to celebrate with instructions to wear "Jenni Kayne, Past or Present." A visual retrospective of Kayne's own!
Yacht Club Vodka, the official liquor sponsor, provided a special JK cocktail, along with vodka punch to get the party started, and DJ Scott Oster spun music late into the evening. As a special treat, Kayne had Coolhaus deliver ice cream sandwiches to weary partygoers on their way out as the evening drew to a close.

More than 600 residents across the state came together Oct. 20 and collected 1,100 bags of roadside litter.
Jim Westhoff, a spokesman for the Delaware Department of Transportation, said that "Imagine A Litter-Free Delaware" Day was a success.
More than 100 groups of people cleaned up their roads up and down Delaware, collecting about 5,000 cubic feet of trash – enough to fill five school buses, Westhoff said.
The eighth annual event is organized by DelDOT and brings together businesses, students, families, churches and civic groups who want to rid Delaware roads of trash.
"The numbers from this event says a lot about the people of Delaware," said Secretary of Transportation Shailen Bhatt in a press release Oct. 24. "We not only take pride in the beauty of our state, but we also take some ownership of how it looks."
There were groups in the M.O.T. area, at Grove Park Club, and Leasure Elementary School cleaning up the roadways Saturday, just to name a few.

In June 1978, Pete Sears and his Jefferson Starship bandmates narrowly escaped a riot following a cancelled concert in Germany. Amid the chaos, much of the band's gear was left behind, including Sears' one-of-a-kind bass created by famed luthiers Doug Irwin and Tom Lieber – the men responsible for Jerry Garcia's most iconic instruments. Sears never played the guitar live, and he never thought he'd see it again. Thirty-five years later, however, the missing bass has resurfaced.
While a member of Jefferson Starship in 1976, Sears commissioned Irwin and Lieber (the latter working at the Doug Irwin Custom Shop) to build a custom bass dubbed "Dragon." Grateful Dead fans will recognize the work of both artisans, as they had hands in creating a series of iconic Jerry Garcia guitars, including "Rosebud," "Lighting Bolt" and "Tiger," which were all exhibited as part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Grateful Dead: The Long, Strange Trip exhibit that was on view from April 12, 2012 to March 24, 2013.
The bass' resemblance to Garcia's famous guitars was no coincidence: the designers used the same piece of wood as Garcia's "Tiger" to build Sears' "Dragon ...
I was seven years old when Exile on Main St. was released in 1972. It wasn't until later in the decade that I first heard the album, though I was already a Rolling Stones fan by then. My earliest rock and roll mentors – friends and family, and musicians and writers that I admired – told me Exile was the Stones record to have, so I picked up a used, well-worn copy on vinyl. The dog-eared double LP jacket was ragged and looked like hell; long gone were the dozen postcards that came with the original packaging. However, the scratched wax delivered an electric sound.
Those sounds – like my battered copy's packaging – were gritty, rough, perfectly unpolished. The album was filled with bravado, the songs seemingly shambolic, unrehearsed and the playlist was sprawling, with more than a dozen tracks. The Stones tapped into America's eclectic songbook, borrowing lines from country, blues, soul, swamp and the heyday of the rock and roll era – and it all sounded genuine. The recording of Exile was shrouded in mystique, a model of rebellion amid tales of wild decadence and hedonism at Nellcôte, the French mansion-cum-studio rented by Keith Richards. Even the ...
Today, January 21, 2013, we welcome visitors to the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Festival at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, an event that celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. King. There are performances, speakers and admission to the Museum is free.
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday observance is a time for people to reflect on the accomplishments of the African-American people, including the art form known today as rock and roll. If not for the struggles and sacrifices that Dr. King and his contemporaries made, the voices and musical talents of many African-American artists may not have come to be respected and recognized at the level they are today.
Naturally, the Rock Hall salutes those visionary musicians who were the genesis of rock and roll – not just on Martin Luther King Day, but every day. King's pioneering spirit is echoed in the music that is the foundation of rock and roll, the foundation of all the Rock Hall celebrates.
The Rock Hall's "Roots of Rock" exhibit highlights the importance of recognizing rock's origins – those true pioneers – including gospel, blues, jazz and R&B, soul, country and folk music ...
Any kid that grew up in the 1970s with dreams of becoming the next guitar hero had to start somewhere – usually playing a cheap acoustic model and trying to master the Mel Bay chord chart. The exciting part came when your slightly more advanced friends – and fellow budding guitarists – passed along a few iconic rock and roll licks: the opening riff to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," the bassline to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and that ringing D chord hammer-on flourish in David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust." These were the ones that you played endlessly, and especially enthusiastically if the song happened to come on the radio.
David Bowie, who opened his first U.S. tour in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 22, 1972, marks another milestone today with his first new release in a decade, "Where are We Now?," as he also celebrates his 66th birthday. The song's title gave me pause, prompting me to wonder where rock and roll would be without David Bowie.
For decades, Bowie's music has challenged and captivated fans and critics alike. Sending bold messages ...
Recently, a few members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum board drove to Pittsburgh with me for what is now near the top of my list of rock and roll experiences. Local legends Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers hosted a special benefit show for the Greater Pittsburg Community Food Bank with special guest Bruce Springsteen. The concert was held in the 2,000-seat Soldiers and Sailors Hall near the Pitt campus. The venue is more than 100 years old and houses a museum with remarkable collection of artifacts from the Civil War to the present. The hall is stunning, with a balcony on three sides, a very low stage and the entire text of the Gettysburg Address – with 12-inch letters – etched in a formidable block of stone above the stage.
Springsteen took the stage first, noting that he was going to "warm up for Joe."

Today—with help from over 100 donors from around the country—our curators hung the iconic Yasgur's Farm dairy sign in the museum. It was installed to coincide with the 42nd Anniversary of the Woodstock Art and Music Festival. See photos of the sign installation here!
Some readers will be familiar with the story. The remarkable sign was preserved for 40 years by a neighbor and was recently acquired by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. An anonymous donor agreed to contribute $12,000—half the purchase price—with the condition that other music fans provide the remainder through a grassroots online fundraising campaign. We elected to use website kickstarter.com. From there the fans took over and contributed the rest of the funds in a few short weeks—THANK YOU.
If you are passing through Cleveland stop in and see the sign. It hangs in the museum next to the famed awning from CBGB's, about 50 feet from Jerry's guitars, Janis' Porsche, and a few thousand other incredible artifacts documenting the most powerful art form in history – ROCK AND ROLL!
Over 100 individuals supported the campaign including:
Craig A. Adams
Carl Artman
Kimberley Barton
John ...
Rock and roll history includes many keystone moments—Elvis entering Sun Studios, the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, Dylan "plugging in" at Newport. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum recently acquired a historic artifact from an event of this stature: a sign from Max Yasgur's farm, the site of the 1969 Woodstock Art and Music Festival!
What I love about this item is that it features the answer to the long-time trivia question "where was Woodstock held?": not Woodstock, New York, but Bethel! It also pictures the handsome breed of cow that the Yasgurs raised—purebred Guernseys. Signs like these still dot the New England landscape wherever working farms remain.
Woodstock is universally recognized as a pivotal moment in American culture. An unprecedented array of artists took to the stage during the festival including: The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, the Band, Santana, the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sly and the Family Stone, and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
A neighbor has kept the sign for the last four decades and a few months ago offered it to the Rock Hall. An anonymous donor agreed to contribute $12,000—half the purchase price—with ...
Tomorrow, April 16, is National Record Store Day. Across the nation, shops will offer special promotions and activities. As fellow music lovers, we encourage you to visit these stores to commemorate the day. Digital downloads are convenient and here at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame we've embraced them while still loving physical records. In fact, yesterday we launched our first App (available at the iTunes store) and we will soon have a mix and burn station in our museum store.
However, we need to pause and honor those who are keeping retail stores alive, in particular those that sell used vinyl and used CDs. I've had a soft spot for these stores since first clerking in a used-record shop in the early 1980s. In fact, the fondness grew so strong that another clerk and I jumped ship and opened up the Philadelphia Record Exchange. The store specialized in used out-of-print records and in indie labels and imports. We focused on LPs while our pal across town, Val Shively, focused on 45s. It was a classic retail start-up. We built bins from plywood and stocked the shelves with our own collections. As we sold records, we bought ...

Thanks for the info and the bump. I read the 308 thread and have a few more questions. I calculated bolt thrust for both rounds per info in the thread and came up with the following:
6.5x55 (.480 dia) = .181 x 45000 psi = 8145 pounds
7.62x39 (.440 dia) = .152 x 45000 psi = 6840 pounds
Im not an engineer, but I dont think its this simple. There should be some difference in bolt thrust depending on bullet weight, right?
How about if I rebated the rim on the 6.5? If I turned it down to .440 it wouldnt lessen the force on the bolt face, right?

This 144-page book represents what I feel is my best work of 2012. It features the 12 images invited for exhibition at the Los Angeles Mobile Arts Festival, as well as those selected for presentation at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art and the Darkroom Gallery in Vermont. Also included are the five images awarded in the 2013 Mobile Photo Awards and shown at the SOHO Gallery For Digital Art in New York City. My work was also presented in the day-long iPhoneography at the 2013 MacWorld Conference in San Francisco, and I was a featured artist in Dan Marcolina's ebook Mobile Masters (available on iTunes).
My co-author and I signed a book contract with Rocky Nook in 2012 to write a book including tutorials from 45 artists across 12 countries and more than ten genres, from street photography and landscapes to impressionistic and highly surreal collage imagery.

I received this recipe from a friend of Hungarian descent. Some folks turn up their noses when this is presented, but after one taste, they always come back for seconds...and thirds!
- 3/4 pound sliced bacon, diced
- 1/2 medium head cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Dash pepper
- 2 cups (8 ounces) thin egg noodles, cooked and drained
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 3 tablespoons drippings. Add cabbage to drippings; cover and cook on low for 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in the salt, pepper, noodles and bacon. Heat through. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Junior John Wooten recorded four hits against High Point
May 15, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina (33-19-1) scored 13 runs in the first three innings on its way to a 13-1 victory over High Point (24-28) Tuesday night in non-conference action at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Kevin Brandt (7-5), who pitched on three days rest, earned the win for the Pirates after tossing three scoreless innings. The senior southpaw from Fuquay Varina, N.C. struck out four and didn't allow a hit before handing the ball over to freshman Dylan Dickens.
ECU wasted little time grabbing an early lead as it plated three runs in the first. Tim Younger walked to lead off the inning. After Drew Reynolds' fielder's choice ground out, John Wooten laced a base hit into left, putting runners at first and second for senior Zach Wright, who blasted a 1-1 offering from High Point starter Nick Schumacher (0-1) over the wall in right center for a three-run homer.
The Pirates did most of their damage in the second when they sent 10 batters to the plate on their way to scoring seven runs and claiming a 10-0 advantage.
Jack Reinheimer (double) and Bryan Bass (walk) reached base to lead off the inning, forcing High Point to lift Schumacher and replace him with right-hander Matt Armstead. Mike Ussery laid down a sacrifice bunt, which Armstead fielded and threw wide of first scoring Reinheimer from second. With runners on second and third, Younger delivered an RBI single into right field giving ECU a 5-0 lead.
Schumacher surrendered five runs (four earned) on three hits and walked two in an inning of work. Armstead yielded eight runs (two earned) on seven hits, while walking one and striking out one in 1 2/3 stanzas.
Reynolds kept the second frame going with a two-run single up the middle to stake the Pirates to a seven-run lead. Wooten recorded another base knock to put runners at first and second before Corey Thompson's double to right center scored Reynolds. Chase McDonald's RBI ground out to third and Reinheimer's run-producing single to left rounded out the second-inning scoring.
East Carolina added a trio of runs in the third. Ussery reached on a fielding error, Younger took first on a throwing error, and Reynolds drew a free pass to load the bases for Wooten. The junior first baseman drove in two with a single to left, giving ECU a 12-0 edge. Thompson drove in the Pirates' final run with a sharp single through the infield.
With the comfortable advantage, the ECU pitching staff was on cruise control. Dickens pitched a pair of scoreless frames in relief of Brandt before being replaced by Jake Harris, who also held High Point scoreless for two stanzas.
DeShorn Lake allowed the lone High Point run as Stephen Angelis singled home Andrew Bartlett, who walked to lead off the inning. Lake walked two and struck out three.
Lance Honeycutt struck out the only batter he faced for the first out of the ninth before being lifted for Dario Santangelo. Honeycutt, along with fellow seniors Wright, Thompson, Ussery and Younger, were taken out of the game with one out in the ninth as head coach Billy Godwin allowed each to be acknowledged by the crowd for their efforts during their stints as Pirates.
Playing in front of the home crowd for the final time, each senior contributed in the rout.
Younger scored two runs and drove in another, while Wright moved into a tie for seventh place on the program's all-time home run list (35). Thompson went 2-for-5 and drove in a pair and fellow senior Mike Ussery finished 1-for-3 with two runs. Honeycutt faced one Panther and struck him out.
High Point relievers Adam Pratson (2.1 IP), Will Resnik (1.2 IP), Kyle Wigmore (0.1 IP) and Harrison Phillips (1.0 IP) threw the final 5 1/3 innings.
Santangelo retired the final two batters for the Pirates and preserved the 13-1 triumph.
Brandt, Dickens, Harris, Lake, Honeycutt and Santangelo combined on a two-hitter. Devin Bujnovsky and Angelis had the only base knocks for the Panthers.
Wooten led the Pirates at the plate with a 4-for-5 performance, matching a career-high with four knocks. He also drove in two and scored twice.
The Pirates hit the road this weekend for two non-conference contests. ECU takes on VMI Friday afternoon (May 18) in Richmond before squaring off against VCU Saturday, May 19. First pitch for both games is scheduled for 2 p.m. (EDT).

The source of the protein we eat (plant vs. animal) matters to our health because food is a package deal. Plant protein, unlike animal protein, naturally contains healthy nutrients thought to extend our lifespan, significantly reduce the risks of cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer, boost our immune system, and prevent/treat rheumatoid arthritis. Plant-based diets may also prevent both age-related weight gain and premature puberty (see also here). Gluten is a healthy source of plant protein for 99% of Americans. Beans, including lentils, are another excellent plant protein source. Even processed meat-free "meats" are better for our health than animal protein (see, for example a comparison between chicken and cholesterol-free plant protein chicken). And the new USDA Guidelines (MyPlate) recognize plant protein, including soy, as healthy alternatives to animal protein.

Last month I blogged about the huge drive to make history with atheist charity (This Is Atheist Charity). Well the ante has been upped. Time to get in the game. Right now. Here's the urgent message from the home front:
To further incentivize people to join local teams there are Registration Week promotions going on. Registration Week goes from July 7th through the 14th. We won't make our goal of raising $1,000,000 unless we get a lot more walkers; we need more people to join our teams! If everyone rallies together, we can do this.
An anonymous donor will give $1 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for every new walker registered during Registration Week [see This Is Atheist Charity for links and details on how to do that, or just go straight to the Foundation Beyond Belief's page on it]. If we meet our goal of 5,000 new walkers, LLS will receive another $10,000, thanks to matching by the Stiefel family!
In addition, every person who is signed up for a team by July 14th will have their name put in for a drawing to win a Kindle Fire. This includes people who have already registered for a team prior to Registration Week.
There is also a promotion just for team captains! The team captain who gets the most number of new members signed up to their team during the Registration Week a $50 American Express gift card!
So…can you not walk? Are you not biped? Shall we not hear you roar?

13:00 to 14:45 Protecting the Protected Areas: Partnering to Expand the Most Precious 17% of the Planet
20 Jun 2012 - 20 Jun 2012Focus:
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
Athletes Park, UNEP Pavilion
Achievements towards sustainable development through biodiversity conservation.
[Achievements towards sustainable development in �especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services conserved through effectively and equitable managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes� (Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 of the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, adopted in decision X/2).]
Brief description:
The LifeWeb Initiative is a partnership platform that strengthens financing for protected areas to conserve biodiversity, secure livelihoods and address climate change, through implementation of the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas.
This initiative provides a user-friendly clearing house for countries to profile their protected area financial priorities and invite international support, to facilitate funding matches, to coordinate counterpart financing among donors, and to highlight donor support. The Government of Spain has initiated a strategic partnership with UNEP to provide USD 7.7 million to support marine and terrestrial protected areas across Asia Pacific, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. UNEP was selected as the lead implementing agency given their expertise in many of the selected field sites.
The Spain-UNEP Partnership for Protected Areas in support of LifeWeb seeks to assist countries to implement the objectives of the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas, and the UNEP Programme of Work to: strengthening existing protected areas; identifying and establishing new protected areas; and protecting biodiversity for long term human wellbeing and sustainable development.
The purpose of the side event in line with Rio+20 is to discuss how the �LifeWeb Initiative for financing Protected Areas� is helping to (i) eradicate poverty and strive for economic growth that benefits all; to (ii) commit to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and to addressing emerging issues from a human development perspective while protecting the planet; to (iii) pursue the green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, and to (iv) strengthen the institutional framework for sustainable development.

This summer, Donna Jean Godchaux of the Grateful Dead spoke at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, as part of the Museum's Hall of Fame Series. During an engaging interview with the Rock Hall's VP of education Lauren Onkey, Godchaux shared stories from her impressive career, including how she met her late husband Keith Godchaux, and how a conversation with the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia after a concert led to Donna and Keith joining the band.
In this interview clip, Donna Jean Godchaux shares "one of the most amazing events in my life" and describes what she felt when Elvis Presley first came in the studio – "I have never seen a human being that gorgeous in my life" – during the sessions for "Suspicious Minds." Grateful Dead: The Long, Strange Trip, a major exhibition devoted to the group, is on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, through 2012.

Cassidy Ellis, 23, of Yorba Linda knows that when something is too good to be true, sometimes it actually is true.
Ellis, a communications major at Cal State Fullerton, recently won a $15,000 diamond necklace in the "Love Rocks" sweepstakes from Teleflora for her side job of spending90 minutes a day online entering sweepstakes.
"As long as you get small wins here and there, you keep going," Ellis said.
Ellis was one of nine contestants who won necklaces – but she almost didn't win.
Someone from Los Angeles was set to get the necklace with a 14-karat white-gold heart and a one-carat diamond.
"They thought it was a scam," Ellis said.
Until the necklace, the biggest prize Ellis had won was a Kindle Fire tablet. With her mother recently losing her job, the necklace news was a morale boost for the family.
"We're just going through a really rough time right now, so it came at the perfect time," Ellis said.
Ellis' mother told her to keep the necklace. But she might not hang on to it forever: She wants to marry her girlfriend, Carissa Parra, one day.
"If all I can afford to do is just take that stone out and put it in a ring for her, then that's what I have to do," Ellis said.

ZF-8631: Zend_File_Transfer documented as an instantiable class when it is not
In the Reference Guide, many examples demonstrate instantiating an instance of Zend_File_Transfer. In reality, the class constructor contains code to throw an Exception with the message "Implementation in progress" if it is directly instantiated. Presumably, only adapters can be instantiated off the bat.
A few thoughts on this issue that I've observed:
- Since Zend_File_Transfer is not yet fully implemented, it should be moved to the incubator for development.
- The existing documentation should state very clearly, and in an unambiguous manner, that this functionality is still under development. - *** edit: My apologies, I just found the documentation that clearly states ZFT is not yet ready. :)
- The exception message in the constructor should be more clear and avoid using the word "progress". My first suggestion would be, "Zend_File_Transfer is not fully implemented at this time."
I will be more than happy to help contribute to this class and will be following up on as many tickets as I can. :)
The first probably can't happen - it's a released component so removing it now would be a backwards compatibility issue. I think the docs could be updated and it'd be fine. Not all components can be finished on the spot so there's always leeway for completion and improvements after a release.
Closing as fixed since more than 2 weeks (r21201).

Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: This show marked the Phish debut of Gold Soundz (Pavement). Trey forgot some of the lyrics, and Mike subsequently flubbed some of the lyrics to Ginseng. Before Limb By Limb, Trey remarked that they would try to get all the verses correct on the next song. Simple contained a Magilla tease and Weekapaug included Super Bad teases.
Song Distribution:
3 The Story of the Ghost
2 Billy Breathes
1 The Siket Disc
1 Junta
1 The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday
1 The White Tape
Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1999 Summer U.S. Tour."
Well, this one has been swept under the rug altogether, and that's a crying shame. Granted, the first set is nothing special, unless you're a Pavement fan. The first and last performance of "Gold Soundz" was a treat for those of us in the know, but otherwise there's not too much to report from Set 1.
Set II, however, is a completely different story. Why, you ask? "Simple" -> "My Left Toe" -> "Jam", that's why. About a half hour of music that gets completely undermined by the way "Mike's" > "Simple" > "My Left Toe" > "Caspian" looks on paper. Hidden gem, plain and simple. The "My Left Toe" comes out of the "Simple" jam so effortlessly that more than half the crowd didn't even notice it. And the jam out of "My Left Toe" is full of melodic Mike, patient Page, fantastic Fish and glory Trey. You should hear this.
Set 1 is satisfying, despite a few trivial flubs / rough spots. They really stretch out and build to a screaming climax on Taste. Limby gets ambient for a bit. Bag and Cities are solidly explored, if a bit leisurely in pace. Moma has a quirky, floaty feel. It's easy to get lost in the middle portion of this set, & lose track of space and time.
Set 2 takes things to another level. Simple > My Left Toe > Caspian is worthy of the praise that the other reviewers have given. The segues flow naturally, and there is a perfect balance of energy + bliss throughout the trifecta. The Mike's Groove bookends are equally notable, with a couple of inventive diversions from the norm that work nicely.
Golgi is solid enough. Then the encore delivers an exquisite pairing of sweetness and heat. If you don't feel chills during this version of B&R, then you're either not human or not listening!

How To Make Falafel With A Meat Grinder
I am going to let you in on a secret. The one tool you require making terrific falafel is the one you're probably not using. We're talking about our meat grinder reviews top 10.
Meat grinders are developed to grind rapidly food to a consistent consistency and texture, precisely what you want in a great falafel. No need to pre-chop herbs and vegetables here-- as long as they fit down your grinder's chute, you're golden.
However, that meat grinder isn't good for just hamburgers and falafel. It's also fantastic at grinding veggies. Use it to grind carefully onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro for a big batch of the soffit, or coarsely grind up cucumbers, peppers and onions for a homemade pickle relish. Try grinding up a smoked brisket or cooked corned beef for a killer breakfast hash, or dried fruit for cookies and homemade protein bars. You get the idea; the possibilities are unlimited.
I've never been able to make an outstanding falafel in your home before utilizing my meat grinder. This recipe also needs to deal with a food grinder; however, I haven't tried it yet, so you're on your very own if you do.
These falafel are crispy and firm on the exterior while soft, fluffy and flavourful on the in. Plus, and this is exactly what I kept encountering before using a meat-grinder; they hold their shape perfectly.
Opposed to what you may think, it doesn't take lots of work making your falafel, and it's also not the least bit complex either. I've observed that a lot of people are slightly intimidated when it concerns cooking Middle Eastern food, which's such a shame because you're missing out.
Whenever we eat falafel, I generously fill the table with pita's, creamy hummus (recipe below), simple garlic yoghurt sauce and great deals of fresh veggies such as iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and red onion and let people help themselves. Tastes fantastic and looks stunning to boot. Only provide it a shot!
Like many individuals, I make certain; I find it hard to part with kitchen area gadgetry. I do not believe I'm at hoarder status; we're just speaking about two devices! Still, their existence haunts me. So the spring cleaning difficulty sounded like an exceptional opportunity to get some brand-new and exciting uses out of this stuff and chose whether or not to obtain rid of them.
The last, and perhaps just, the time I utilized my food grinder was to grind up leftover holiday ham to make a sandwich spread. If you don't know what is that you want, you may be better off not learning. For me, it is among those tasty, but kind of sickening youth memories. It can be found in a tube. You squirted it out onto white bread. Then you ate it and felt like a fat kid. Making it from scratch was a minimum of, a little much better than buying that tube.
That meat grinder isn't perfect for simply hamburgers and falafel. Use it to grind finely onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro for a big batch of the soffit, or coarsely grind up cucumbers, peppers, and onions for a homemade pickle relish.
Opposed to what you may think, it does not take a lot of work to make your falafel, and it's also not the least bit complex either. Whenever we eat falafel, I kindly fill up the table with pita's, velvety hummus (dish listed below), basic garlic yoghurt sauce and lots of fresh vegetables such as iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and red onion and let individuals assist themselves. The last, and maybe just, the time I used my food grinder was to grind up remaining holiday ham to make a sandwich spread.

Mayor Williams Thanks CH2M HILL for Providing Bicycles to Children in the City of Wilmington for the 8th Consecutive Year
Posted on 12/18/2013 4:01 pm
Today, Mayor Dennis P. Williams and the Office of Constituent Services thanked Chris Peluso, the Area Manager of CH2M HILL, and his colleagues for providing and helping distribute bicycles to 40 disadvantaged youth in the City of Wilmington in time for the Holiday season.
CH2M HILL, a company that provides engineering design, construction, and operations consulting services to Wilmington and other governments around the world, purchased all of the bikes to distribute to nonprofit agencies and children in Wilmington. The Mayor's Office of Constituent Services assists CH2M HILL by working with numerous community and neighborhood centers and agencies to identify families who would most benefit from the holiday bicycle giveaway.
"We are pleased to be able to brighten the holidays for some deserving children in the City of Wilmington," said Chris Peluso, CH2M HILL Area Manager. "CH2M HILL's corporate culture centers on meaningful involvement in the communities in which our employees live and work. We are grateful to Mayor Williams and City Council for providing us the opportunity to fulfill this important mission."
This is the eighth consecutive year CH2M HILL has donated bicycles to children in Wilmington, which increases the total number of bicycles distributed to local youths over the years to 395. CH2M HILL staff members organize and participate in Bikes for Kids fundraising events throughout the year, and even help assemble the bikes prior to distribution. Representatives from CH2M HILL, the City, and community agencies will present the bikes to families in the City within the next few days, just in time for holiday celebrations.
"Generosity, especially during the holiday season, is something we should all try to practice. For the last eight years, CH2M HILL continues to demonstrate this spirit of generosity by giving back to our community, and working to bring happiness to the people of Wilmington. Around the holiday season, for many families, resources can become strained, so CH2M HILL's efforts are graciously appreciated," said Mayor Williams.

Having trouble giving honest feedback to your boss, colleague or direct report? "Speaking truthfully without hurting feelings comes naturally to some and is an acquired skill for others," writes Sheryl Sandberg (left), chief operating officer at Facebook, in her new book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. "I definitely needed help in this area." What she advises:
Tip No. 1: Understand that there are two points of view—yours and someone else's.
"Rarely is there one absolute truth, so people who believe that they speak the truth are very silencing of others. When we recognize that we can see things only from our own perspective, we can share our views in a nonthreatening way."
Tip No. 2: State your opinions in the first person.
"Compare these two statements: 'You never take my suggestions seriously' and 'I feel frustrated that you have not responded to my last four emails, which leads me to believe that my suggestions are not that important to you. Is that so?' [The first statement] triggers a disagreement; the other sparks a discussion."
Tip No. 3: Welcome your colleagues' feedback, even if it stings.
"One thing that helps is to remember that feedback, like truth, is not absolute. Feedback is an opinion, grounded in observations and experiences, which allows us to know what impression we make on others."

Tsukioka YOSHITOSHI
1839 - 1892
Yoshitoshi's career straddled two eras – the last years of the Edo period and the first few decades of modern Japan following the Meiji Restoration in 1867. Initially enthusiastic and opened to Western influxes, he became increasingly sceptical about the loss of numerous aspects of traditional Japanese art and culture due to rapid industrialisation and Westernisation. In a time when modern reproductive technologies such as photography and lithography were introduced to Japan and enjoyed high popularity, Yoshitoshi concentrated his efforts in introducing new themes and techniques to the stagnant art of ukiyo-e colour woodblock prints, taking it thus to a new height, before it definitely declined after his death. His highly imaginative, often flamboyant and even disturbing depictions of historical events, warriors, beautiful women and the supernatural has led him to be recognised as the last great master of traditional Japanese woodblock print.

City Council Member Darius Brown Applauds President Obama's Support of Equal Pay for Women
Posted on 04/08/2014 2:07 pm
Brown Sponsored a City Council Resolution in 2013 Urging Congress to Pass the Paycheck Fairness Act Which Remains Stalled
Wilmington City Council Member Darius Brown (D-3rd District) today thanked President Obama for doing what the Congress has failed to do—recognize that women should earn the same amount of pay as men for doing similar work.
Council Member Brown commented this afternoon after President Obama today celebrated "Equal Pay Day" at the White House by signing two Executive Orders. The first order prohibits federal contractors from retaliating against employees who share salary information with each other. The second order directs the U.S. Department of Labor to establish regulations that require federal contractors to report wage-related data to the government, thus holding contractors more accountable for salary differences based on sex or race.
Brown noted the irony of holding a signing ceremony on what is being called "Equal Pay Day" which Brown said demonstrates to the world the number of days that a woman in the United States has to work into 2014 in order for her pay to equal what a male counterpart earned in 2013.
"There is no logic to the failure of the Congress to approve the Paycheck Fairness Act which would end income disparity between women and men," said Brown. "Why should a woman who works full time make an average of seventy-seven cents for every dollar that a man makes? It doesn't make sense that this disparity has been happening for the past decade and we can't do anything about it. Most disturbing to me is that our unequal pay standards are a form of systematic discrimination against women which being condoned by the Congress."
Brown said he is proud of his fellow City Council colleagues for supporting his Resolution last year urging congressional action on a law that would assist women in the workforce by extending the protections of the Equal Pay Act of 1963. He urged citizens to start with our own Delaware delegation and then branch out to other states and urge that Congress end pay discrimination against women.

Warehouse & DC Management: Moving toward smarter lift trucks
Using sensors to track when a lift truck is in motion, when it is at rest, or when the forks are engaged in lifting and lowering, allows fleet managers to optimize the size of their fleets.
October 01, 2012 - LM Editorial
High technology, automatic data collection, sensors, and software are probably not the first words you associate with lift trucks. However, today's lift trucks are highly sophisticated pieces of machinery.
"Over the last 10 or 20 years, the technology within the lift truck has evolved immensely," says Mike McKean, sales and marketing manager for Toyota Material Handling USA. "The brains of the lift truck have grown. The dashboards display so much more information than in the past."
That technology is moving beyond the dash. Thanks to sensors, microprocessors, and CAN bus technology, today's lift trucks have the capability to collect and communicate lift truck data in real time.
In turn, fleet management software systems can use that data to manage the maintenance of the truck or monitor how a driver is operating the vehicle. It can perform that management for an individual truck or driver, a fleet of trucks, or team of drivers—in one location or across multiple locations. It's possible to feed that information to other management software systems, such as labor management (LMS), warehouse management (WMS), or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, to drive process improvements.
"We're not there yet, but we are moving toward a smart truck platform," says Phil Van Wormer, executive vice president of sales, marketing, and business development for Total Trax, a third-party provider of fleet management software for lift trucks.
Tracking maintenance
The earliest iterations of fleet management software were used to keep track of maintenance. Indeed, that is still the most common use of the technology, aiding equipment manufacturers to improve their products as much as end users.
"Using fleet management software, we know what repairs were made on what trucks and at what intervals of usage," says Joe LaFergola, marketing manager of business and information solutions for Raymond. "If we see a trend developing around the failure of parts, we can do a root cause analysis on the affected parts and implement programs to reduce the cost there."
For end users, maintenance systems are used to schedule planned maintenance events and to track unplanned and exception repairs. Those repairs can also be compared against the hours of use to see if a truck is getting more or less hours between repairs than is expected or if the truck is getting more maintenance than is necessary for the hours of operation. Together, they provide a snapshot of how the truck is performing and how it is being maintained.
Taken to the next step, the systems can be used to automate the components of a maintenance transaction. With intelligent dispatching, for instance, either the system itself or the end user can provide information that allows some problems to be solved without ever sending a technician. In the alternative, the system may ensure that a technician has the right tools and parts to address an issue on the first call.
"This allows us to obtain as much information as possible before a service call even gets to the dealer," says Pat DeSutter, who is with Yale's fleet management program. "We can then make sure we're dispatching a technician based on the skill required and the availability of parts."

Thanks to hormonal fluctuations caused by peri-menopause and exacerbated by stress, many women in their thirties and forties are finding themselves battling the oil and pimples they thought they'd left in the rearview mirror, says Jaliman. If this is your skin type, here's your goal: to cleanse thoroughly each day and use products that speed up skin-cell turn-over, both of which will minimize the likelihood of pore clogging. To reduce sheen, prevent pimples and fight the signs of aging, your routine can be as simple as one, two, three: a cleanser plus one product for day and another for night.
CLEANSE Begin with an exfoliating wash that contains lactic or glycolic acid. These cleansers eliminate grime and dead-skin buildup but are typically less drying than salicylic acid, an ingredient in many teen acne products, says Los Angeles aesthetician Kate Somerville. If you do opt for a salicylic acid wash (because it is easier to find than lactic and glycolic acids), make sure it also offers hydrating ingredients to buffer the drying effects. USE AM AND PM.
HYDRATE AND PROTECT Even oily skin needs to be hydrated, especially as we age (remember: Oil and moisture are two different things). Moisturizer will help prevent fine lines and keep skin healthy, firm and smooth. Your best bet? A light formula that both moisturizes and contains sun-screen, so you don't have to layer multiple products on skin already prone to feeling tacky. Also, beyond cancer prevention, sunscreen is important because UV rays can cause acne spots to hyperpigment, especially in darker skin. USE AM ONLY.
TREAT A prescription-strength tretinoin such as Retin-A or Veltin (a new tretinoin that contains an antibiotic for blackhead prevention) will check two boxes: First, it fights breakouts by controlling oil production and increasing skin-cell turnover, minimizing the potential for clogged pores. Second, that speedy turnover provides anti-aging benefits, helping skin tone appear more even, says Fredric Brandt, MD, a Manhattan- and Miami-based dermatologist with a new skin-care talk show on SiriusXM satellite radio. For those unable to tolerate tretinoin (it can be irritating initially, an annoying stage some can't endure), there are effective over-the-counter options that contain retinol, tretinoin's gentler cousin. Brandt concedes that retinol ultimately does the same work as tretinoin—it just takes a little longer to reach the finish line. USE PM ONLY.
If you're willing to pull out all the stops—and be rewarded with faster, more dramatic results—follow the Oily Minimalist regimen, then add as many of the steps below as you like.
CONCEAL AND HEAL A mattifying-lotion or primer applied after your sunscreen-moisturizer in the -morning keeps shine at bay. For a one-two punch, follow with an oil-free treatment foundation (most likely it will contain a drop of salicylic acid or -antibacterial tea tree oil) that complements the pimple-fighting properties of your skin care. USE AM ONLY.
BOOST EYE MOISTURE Even if the rest of your skin is oily, the area around the eyes probably isn't—at least not if you're over 30. A very light eyehydrator, used only at night, will help keep that thin-skinned area moist, minimizing the deepening of fine lines. USE PM ONLY.
AMP UP EXFOLIATION In addition to using an exfoliating cleanser and a tretinoin or retinol product, you can speed up skin improvement witha third exfoliating product two or three times a week. For skin prone to breakouts, most experts suggest a chemical exfoliator (e.g., glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid) rather than a physical exfoliator (like a scrub), since the granules in a scrub can irritate pimples, making them slower to heal. Somerville recommends that you use either pads (think old-school Stridex, but with a formula suited to aging skin) or a lotion that you can alternate with your tretinoin/retinol night product or layer under it. USE AM OR PM.

It was a touching scene at the Share the Love fashion show and luncheon, themed "Celebrating the Beauty in Everyone." The Lullwater Ballroom at the Emory Conference Center Hotel was the backdrop for the unique benefit. A morning mimosa hour and silent auction was followed by runway models with disabilities served by United Cerebral Palsy of Georgia walking the catwalk. The event aims to raise funds to support UCPG's programs and services as well as awareness about the challenges and potential individuals with disabilities face.

ZF-5527: CLONE -[CAPTCHA] isValid function doesn't make sense
note: I added it as Unknown since Captcha isnt in the component list yet.
The isValid function in Zend_Captcha_Word doesn't make any sense at all. I just downloaded the RC2 version of 1.6 and I noticed the Captcha functionality and I really want to test is as it looks very usable. Generating the image with Zend_Captcha_Image works great but validating it is very unclear:
The manual says it should go like this:
// On subsequent request: // Assume captcha setup as before, and $value is the submitted value: if ($captcha->isValid($value)) { // Validated! }
So it makes sense that $value is the value posted by the user but the function isValid accepts 2 params: $value and $context. The first check in the function checks for the existence of $context[$name]['input'] but that wont be there if you supply only the value (just like in the example). According to the function $content may be left out (null) but that doesnt seem correct at all. A few lines behind the first check (which uses $context instead of $value) $value is overwritten by a key in $context[$name]. So, you can supply $value to the function but it will always get overwritten by the value of $context[$name]['input'].
So to sum it all up : - the docs are wrong - $value isnt used in the function although the docs use it as the only parameter - there is no documentation on what $context exactly should be
edit: i dont know how i can comment myself so ill edit it: its not only a documentation thing here, the $value var is never used in the function so the function should be changed so it will be used or the var must be left out at all.
edit: I don't know how I reopen the issue. so I cloned. This issue is not solved. The function is still useless because name of value is fixed and there is no way for those who can't use name "input" for captcha value.

What it is all about!!
5 comments:
Oh Girl! Treasure these times. My girls are 27 and 30. I have a 6 y.o. grandson who didn't want to have anything to do with his Nana on Mother's Day. He simply wanted to spend the time we had together loving on his MOM. Much as I wanted him to love on me, it did my heart good to hear him tell her, "You're the bestest Mom in the whole world." :O)ReplyDelete
This picture is precious and adorable.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a perfect Mother's Day to me. Your boys are just adorable!ReplyDelete
That is such a sweet gift, I got to sleep in a little bit (If you count 8:30 as sleeping in) but no breakfast. I love handmade gifts and my 3 yr old made decorated mugs (kits at michaels) for her Nana's and wrote their names. They were a hit.ReplyDelete
How precious, I remember the days of breakfast on the bed. What a wonderful memory.ReplyDelete
