The characters are just that. People with accents and international flair, and also homegrown ambitious young adults from Idaho and Montana. And many displaced Californians who live full- and part-time in the tiny mountain town. You see all things you would expect from a good story - tension, desire, resolution and even evolution. You laugh, you cry, it is better than "Cats" because it is a story you have lived, if only as an extra.
The amazing and true story of Jill Miller may never be told, but this week in a farewell party, a small group of old-time friends and co-workers gathered for a sweet sendoff to the woman who worked behind the scenes, mostly, to transform a ragtag group of volunteers who produced an annual film festival into an internationally recognized giant, known the world over by one word - Sundance.
The redhead with the quiet, well-mannered, well-contained but useful temper started out helping with the organization just as it was being rescued by Robert Redford and rebranded. It began with a couple of guys in the Utah State Film office as the U.
No one saw the thing blowing up the way it did. But the festival grew quickly and soon the broken equipment wouldn't make do and too many people came to town and it appeared Sundance was going to be the hero that rode off into the sunset.
At the same time Park City had voted in a bond election to create a real high school auditorium with 800 seats to serve also as a joint-use facility for the community. It too was an ambitious idea for a town of less than 5,000 people in the early '90s. I was involved in trying to help fundraise for that building and I like to think it was my brilliant grant writing that persuaded the Eccles Family to donate the million-dollar naming gift to add a balcony to the proposed space and make improvements that would create a state-of-the-art facility. But the truth is a better story. The festival had simply outgrown Park City at that point and without a venue, like the one the Eccles Center became, it was going to leave town. Someone had a bold idea: have Redford pitch the Eccles Foundation for the grant. I have it on good authority Jill was the idea planter. So, yes, the festival stayed and the community was able to create the multi-use space known as The Eccles Center. And we have Sundance and Jill to thank for that.
Jill led by being fiscally tenacious and creative all at once. She kept her head down and never stood in the spotlight unless shoved there. She made long-lasting friendships in a world known for back stabbing and artifice. She never answered the siren call of working in Hollywood or Canada or Cannes or any number of places that wanted her sensible and incredible talents. She spent years structuring a deal so Sundance could move from dreadful offices in a cold building on the wrong side of Salt Lake City. With the generosity and vision of local developer Rory Murphy, she created a festival home here. The Silver Star project is now a shining example of mixed use and the anchor of the Sundance Film Festival.
She hired smart people and gave them room to grow. She saw international film as a calling card in developing countries to learn how to tell their own powerful stories. She started traveling to places like Jordan and Turkey and even Dubai to see which countries would be a good fit to welcome the Film Forward project. And in the past few years, we watched two significant changes in her life. She and her husband Michael built a modest but smartly designed home in Torrey, a beautiful area in the middle of nowhere Utah. And her husband left his job as a principal at Rowland Hall for a job working on creating schools in Africa.
It should have come as no surprise when she announced her leaving earlier this fall, yet it did. She had decided after creating a powerful, competent, accountable team, she could and should explore her own next chapter, which she has not announced yet.
Her sendoff this week was a gathering of a tribe that she never would claim was of her own making ... but it was: City officials who patched together deals to keep the festival here and vibrant. Reporters and supporters and staff from Utah and Los Angeles she had nurtured and mentored.
Jill is leaving at that high point sailors love to reference - with the wind in her sails. We hope to receive postcards from the edge of her new life, but for now we are grateful she passed this way. Very grateful, this Sunday in the Park ...

Borrowing on influences like Pavement and The Shins, and led by Sartain's compelling little-brother-turned-sad-eyed-mystic lyrics and voice, this album, released in late July, gets better with each listen.
Released on Sartain's own Kilby Records, standout tracks include the title cut, "Love Is Like A Matador," and "I'm Going." But maybe the album's strongest moment occurs when drummer Cathy Foy sings arguably the album's strongest, cut, "Solitary Lives." Her soulful, vocals elevate the song into a must-hear track. Initially, some of the songs seem simplistic, but repeated listenings reveal depth with multiple, layered parts that nestle inside your brain and jump out on you later.
And for some crazy reason, down at Slow Train Records, they're selling this for just $3, as of this writingIt's worth your time and your money.

Get an alert for markdowns and new arrivals of Cremo Cream!
Mike Boone, an engineer and entrepreneur, came up with the formula behind Cremo Cream™. As opposed to a shave gel or foam, which contains air, Cremo Shave Cream does not rely on air as a lubricant. Most people who use Cremo Shave Cream notice how slick it feels during the shave. In addition to virtually no cuts, Cream Cream states that the shave will last longer.
Some of its most unique and impressive ingredients in Cremo Shave Cream are macadamia nut oil, marigold flower extract, aloe vera leaf juice, and papaya fruit extract. These ingredients act as moisturizers and skin conditioners, with wound healing, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Instead of glycerin, the sticky ingredient that most other shave creams use, Cremo Shave Cream uses xylitol, a natural substitute for sugar that lies in fruits and vegetables. It emulsifies and moisturizes the skin leaving it smooth and without irritation.
Cremo Cream has a few other impressive qualities: It is not tested on animals and it does not contain parabens, air or trace ingredients. Enjoy a smoother, longer-lasting shave with the company that has reinvented shave cream, Cremo Shave Cream.

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by siggy cute storage! We use it in the boy's room for under a wall mounted Tv. It's more attractive and deeper than the average bookcase. Tighten the bolts well and it's sturdy. April 6, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Renovator I'm keeping it, but... I have called everyday waiting for this to arrive in stock, because the size and style are exactly what I wanted (mine was the first one off the truck). I must say, it isn't up to the usual high quality I have experienced with World Market. At least half of the bolts would not fit properly due to excessively sloppy welding. I was really surprised how lightweight it was as well. It's described as "industrial" but it's pretty delicate in real life. Also, the shelves are not adjustable, so you have to live with them as shown. My wife summed it up when she said it looks like it should cost about a third the amount we paid. March 20, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by danigirl Looks nice, bad quality I had high hopes for this shelf because my husband and just loved the look of it. For the price tag, this item really disappointed. The welding on it is awful and the shelf couldn't even hold up several books before it started leaning and wobbling (we tightened the bolts as much as we could without them breaking, one still broke). Like the other reviewer stated it's very cheaply made. I wouldn't recommend this shelf to anyone unless it had a $30 price tag on it, because that's about all it's worth. Spend your money elsewhere and get a better quality shelf. September 2, 2012

ZF-9816: Zend_Soap_Server : mistake on spelling of the option features
If we want to set the option features with the method setOptions(), we must use the key "featues" instead of the right word "features".
I updated the method testSetOptions() for this case, and added a test for the last option "wsdl_cache" forgotten.
I do not know if you prefer to deprecate the key "featues" with a notice instead of deleting in order to not break compatibility.
Fixed in r22222!
Case "featues" is still available to not break backward compatibility.

I have tried Rockbox before but then the battery life was really bad. And if I remember correctly, there was some problem playing some files (Vorbis or MPC?). The battery life is ok now. I have not tested playback of different formats but probably that problem is also fixed. There is also now a setting called "3-D Enhancement" that was not there before and that my Clip+ do not have.
One problem is that sometimes navigating the menus is impossible: one short touch seems to be registering as several and the navigating gets really erratic. Restarting the player fixes it.
It would be nice if the "First Buttonpress Enables Backlight Only" and "Buttons Locked" functions could disregard the volume buttons and only apply to the touchpad.
Maybe the navigating (when it works) is a little less frustrating than on the official firmware. Still, touching imaginary buttons on a touchpad requires seeing the touchpad and is error prone.
There is more background noise on the rockboxed Fuze+ than on the OF or rockboxed Clip+. The reason seems to be that the volume control is implemented differently. With the Fuze+ with OF and the rockboxed Clip+ the noise amount rises with the volume control, with the rockboxed Fuze+ the noise is on max regardless of the volume setting. (Hardware amp on max, using software volume control?) As a consequence the background noise is a bit annoying when using sensitive IEMs.

One problem, is that RMAA can't seem to capture what we're hearing. My measurements (loaded with my Shure SE425s, as well as unloaded) show a nearly perfect score in noise levels and dynamic range, for a 16 bit device.
Pamaury is investigating the issue.
Edit: and I actually triple checked my measurements. I always get the same results. The thing is, you can't really get good or excellent measurements (as opposed to digitally perfect) by accident. If they were perfect (as if I fed RMAA the original, digitally produced sample), every value would be perfect.

I'd think you would have to record the signal and listen to that. IIRC when there was a discussion at HA of whether or not the Clip made background noises using Rockbox the didn't occur using the OF that was how someone demonstrated that it does. You could try creating a silence file using foobar2000 or Audacity and play that at different volumes and see if the background noise increases or not.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
There is noise and its not coming from my ears or brain. Intrestingly there is a very big difference between phones. I can't hear the noise with my AKG K420 headphones (open, portable) and can very clearly with JVC HA-FX67 IEMs. The AKGs are quite sensitive and they produce even more sound volume than the JVCs. IEMs attenuate outside sounds and this could make the noise more percievable but the difference seems to be too big for this explanation. Maybe something to do with Impedance? (JVC: 16; AKG: 32)
Anyway, the noise is not Fuze+ specific. I can hear the background noise as well with the (rockboxed) )Clip+ when volume is high enough. Clip+ is also known for measuring well although NwAvGuy included a small note about hiss:
@Sleep mode zZ, I'm hoping you didn't interpret my reply as being directed to you as a way saying that the noise doesn't exist. I don't have the Fuze+ but my other sandisk players have a distinct hiss when playing silence files if the volume is high enough. That's true in both Rockbox and the OF.
I usually use full size cans and none of my IEMs are particularly sensitive so it doesn't bother me. I also have older ears so I don't tend to hear hiss as much as some people. One of the few benefits of reaching middle age.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
I turned to Rockbox after being frustrated by the touchpad's lack of response and the rave reviews of various threads touting upgrading Fuze+ to RB. For me the jury's still out, though.
The good:
1) My main source of frustration with my OF Fuze+ has been dealt with in that the touchpad is more sensitive and more responsive with Rockbox.
2) When using my Fuze + in the car hooked up to an FM transmitter (my stereo is too old for an aux. port) with a built-in USB port that I use to charge the Fuze + with, the player will now pause when I shut off the car and startup again when I get back in to go somewhere.
3) More advanced features and settings over the OF.
The bad:
1) The touchpad can be too responsive. One touch and it sometimes will scroll up or down more than one line (the OF did, too). Sometimes I have to perform a hard reset because this problem is excessive (i.e. it is difficult to get the cursor to scroll only a single line), other times the scrolling works fine (i.e. it is more like the OF line skipping).
2) Some times the cursor will automatically page down to the last line on the menu. It will not allow scrolling down one line at a time, if you press down the cursor jumps to the bottom of the menu, but will allow scrolling up one line at a time, but if you stop scrolling to select a choice, the cursor pages down before you can make the selection. The only fix is a forced restart.
3) When using the FM transmitter to start the player when it is off (i.e. in the morning when I go to work) sometimes the player hangs up at the Rockbox intro. page requiring me to disconnect the USB cable and forcing a restart. Othertimes it starts up fine and starts playing the first song (Actually, I thought I had found the setting for this because it was booting up my player, but this morning it went back to hanging up at the RB start screen, kept doing it this morning when I was trying to charge it at work with a wall charger).
4) The fonts for the "Now Playing" are the same fonts used for the menu screens, these should be separated so that you can select the font size for the "Now Playing" screen and a separate font size for the Menu screens. I need to use larger fonts for the menus to see what I am trying to select while using my Fuze+ in my car, but then that messes up the "Now Playing" screen.
5) Skipping songs is a chore and its easier to go through the menus to select the song you want even though it may only be a the previous or next song on the list. Skipping forward: sometimes I can skip forward, sometimes I get a screen that shows me the information tagged to a particular song, which is what I don't want/need. Skipping backward: sometimes I can skip back or sometimes I get a screen that provides me repeat and shuffle options and sometimes I get a screen allowing me to vary the song tempo. I thought I narrowed it down to if I pressed "back" on the "back" line the repeat/shuffle option popped up and if I pressed "back" past the "back" line (i.e. closer to the edge of the touchpad) it would allow me to skip back a song, but that turned out to be wrong. A setting turning off this function so that when I press "Back" or "Forward" it will only skip back or forward the number of songs that I press the touchpad for would be useful.
6) This morning, I got into my car and before I turned the car on, the Fuze screen was on and the player was showing it was playing a song, but nothing was coming over the radio when I turned the car on. After a hard reset, it worked fine, but the battery had been run down (which I expected since the screen was probably on all night). I can understand this happening if I had the player setup to "repeat" playing an album or playlist over and over and it was not going to sleep because it kept playing, but I did not enable repeating and the power off setting had been working flawlessly up until last night.
7) Having to hard reset the player much more often.
8) I listen to albums, so sometimes I will play and album through once, then decide that I'd like to re-play the album again, especially if I am driving and would rather re-play an album rather than pull off the road (or cause an accident) to go through the menus looking for a different album to play. The OF this was easy, after the player stopped playing because it finished the last song, all I had to do was hit play again and it would start from song 1 through the last song. Rockbox on the Fuze+ does not do this (I have not found this setting if it does), I have to go back to Database -> Artists, select the artist, select the album and play it again.
9) I will echo another poster who does not like that the button lock feature also locks out the volume controls, which does not happen with the OF.
I have fiddled with the settings to try to work around the above list of "Bad", believe me the list was much larger before adjusting the settings, I had thought I could elminate #3 because of the changes to the settings, but it happened again this morning. The rest, I have found no settings that addresses those issues. Despite all the downsides, I am torn if I want to re-install the OF or if I want to continue with Rockbox. I know RB for the Fuze+ is not considered stable, but there is still a lot of potential there and there are some compelling features, for me, that make me want to stick with it, especially the touchpad sensitivity.
I know folks have put a lot of hard work into porting Rockbox to the Fuze+ and I don't want to sound like I am putting down that effort, I am only providing my honest opinions and issues I have found. It is better in many ways I have not listed, but there are some serious flaws, IMHO, that do not make RB the "slam dunk" better firmware, it really is a choice of which flaws are more acceptable. I am going to give RB as much of a chance as I can, but if I reach the point that I am putting the OF back onto my Fuze+, then I will likely be looking at getting another PMP/MP3 player and it won't be a Sandisk product, which is a shame, I loved the Fuze I had until it became unstable and lost all of the music I had on the internal memory. The + is a better player overall, and had they kept the original type of controller it would be unbeatable, IMHO.
Isn't RB dual bootable? Can't u just decide which FW u want to boot into?

Following up from my previous post after having read through the manual and played with the settings more:
Issues #1 and 2 have not reared their ugly heads, other than the normal occasional skipping over a line when moving the cursor down or up, that I mentioned the OF did, too.
Issue #3 - this is normal for RB, I think what was happening was that the settings I had that I thought turned the player off after a set time after it stopped playing music was not the correct setting so it never shut off. When I got in my car in the morning and turned it on, the player was already on, unknown to me, and I thought it was booting up properly.
#4 would take some programming by the RB group to make this happen and is not a setting I can change.
#5 - This is still my biggest issue with RB, right now. There is no settings to disable this. I can minimize the problems as the manual indicates these only crop up if you hit the touchpad in certain locations, but when driving you hit bumps without warning and your hand moves and instead of skipping back to replay a song you get stuck with the shuffle/repeat options or tempo options. I guess this would take some reprogramming, but I am not sure why anyone thought these were necessary functions that needed a shortcut to get to.
#6 - answered in #3, Operator error in having the wrong setting.
#7 - Not been much of an issue aside from forgetting to unplug the USB cable in the morning forcing restarts.
#8 - I think I found the setting for this because it has been working like this lately. I also found a workaround to having to go all the way back to the main menu as what I had been having to do.
#9 - There is no setting to address this. But this is a minor PITA in the grand scheme of things.
Still on the fence with RB, but I am warming to it, going into my 3rd week.
I mentioned it in a way of a possible workaround. Like, if it suited yer purpose to have the fuze+ in OF mode for car use and RB Mode for when not in car etc. Meaning perhaps each FW has it's +'s and -'s and u can choose which suits you better for a certain situation, no need to necessarily be all or nothing approach.

Another Fuze+ fan here
Hi skamp, I appreciate you took the trouble to offer some measurements of the Fuze+. Yours might be the only ones outside of Sandisk (as if they bother ha ha) which is pretty amazing for a player so widely sold and available for over two years.
My Clip+ recently died and a refurbished Fuze+ was the cheapest available replacement. Your comments and data encouraged me to risk it and my 8GB Fuze+ arrived today. It cost me £20.98 which is 24.61. This is a great deal so I'm even going to pretend I like the purple plastic case.
I have to agree with you that with Rockbox this is a very appealing player. I've been using Sansa players (Fuze v2 and Clip+) since 2009 both with OF and Rockbox and when I tried the Fuze+ with OF I could hardly get it to work. I actually had to rtfm and it still was lousy. Then I installed Rockbox and sanity was restored....everything does work after all.
The sound is better than my Fuze v2 and Clip+ because finally Sansa have made a player that doesn't crackle, squeak or buzz even when database is being updated and the best thing about no buttons is there are no ticking noises on button presses.
I absolutely love your grayfog theme, which is actually what prompted me to post. I modified the metadata lines so composer alternates with artist and comment alternates with title and this is perfect for me. Album art looks brilliant. grayfog is the best Fuze+ theme by a mile, and the wps text file is short, easily understood, and easy to modify - so thank you.
Thanks for the compliment. I think it's great to be able to make your own theme, and to modify themes to better suit your needs or preferences. We have Rockbox to thank for that!
Did you check out my Googley themes? I think they're a lot better than Grayfog, which was my first theme, but I guess that's a matter of taste.
I plan on trying the Clippy or Grayfog themes if I can get the Fuze+ I have coming working. I prefer the darker themes....although I suppose I could do the "invert LCD" on your other ones, right?

I spent absolutely ages on some themes in the past to make them useful for me on the Clip+. Modding grayfog to be as informative as it is pleasing to the eye took about two minutes, being a quick copy+paste of three metadata lines from my custom themes.
I think this looks great and tells me exactly what I might want (I don't care about displaying file type, bitrate and so on because I already know it's flac). The top line is composer/artist, middle is always album name and bottom is track title/comment (in this case a tenor accompanying the players).
I might just modify the time status to elapsed/track total total on the left and use the right for track number/track total and maybe use the middle to display sleep timer countdown when active.
This really is a good player with Rockbox. Using OF it won't even recognise my microSD cards that work perfectly in a Clip+ or Fuze v2 or in fact in every device ever tried. In Rockbox they work completely normally.
I did a crude level match of the Fuze+ and my iriver H140 by playing a 10000Hz tone and using a cable from the headphone jacks into a laptop running Audacity set to record. I previously did the same with the Clip+. The Fuze+ and Clip+ output levels are the same, about 4 dB quieter at max than the H140, and in a crude level matched and sighted listening comparison I couldn't tell the iriver from the Fuze+ cos they both hiss with low impedance IEMs ha ha ha.
I just exercised some restraint earlier this afternoon. I was very tempted to make a snarky remark about the necessity of Rockbox when I saw this tweet from SanDisk.......

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
From before puberty to after menopause, a woman's body is constantly changing and developing. And, at each stage of development and maturation, there may be questions about gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health. Thus, it is important that a woman establishes a partnership with her physician (often an OB/GYN, or Obstetrician/Gynecologist) early on.
Obstetrician/Gynecologists are physicians who specialize in general women's medical care, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the female reproductive system, and care of pregnant women. It is generally recommended that women who are either over 18 years of age, and/or are sexually active, or those who experience gynecological symptoms, have an annual gynecological exam.

I was out on a walk with my mom, and I spotted a used condom on the pavement.
The idea of a used condom on the pavement in a cul-de-sac of suburbia tickled me. How did it get there? Were they a couple of high schoolers in parked car, and they threw it out the window when they were finished? Did they bring kneepads and do it right there on the asphalt? Did they have sex somewhere else but felt the need to dispose of the condom in a completely random location?
I snapped a couple shots.
My mom screamed, "Don't take a picture of the condom! Gosh!"
"It's ART!" I protested.
"No it ISN'T!" she said, and hurried as far away from me as she could, MORTIFIED that she had raised a daughter who took photographs of USED CONDOMS.
It is a fine day indeed when you can embarrass your PARENTS. This, my dear mother, is payback.

Our man Waajeed has just released a never heard before track with Cee-Lo Green! Called "All Alone Now," the song was put together as a demo for Whitney Houston around 2007. Beautifully done, and the story makes it all the more poignant. Some more background from Waajeed himself:
The A&Rs at RCA were calling every and anybody to find a sound for her 2009 release, I Look To You. I worked on seven or eight different versions finally deciding on this one with additional parts from Simon Katz from Jamiroquai.
Lyrically, Cee-Lo nailed it! At the time she was going though her very public separation with Bobby Brown. He wrote the words as if she was speaking directly to him.
I wish I would've been able to hear her wonderful voice singing these words, but for now Cee-Lo will do.
R.I.P. Whitney

Yeah, that was awesome. The worms instead of rice thing really freaked me out. I still like, double check my rice sometimes >.<
So where do you get your lore?
Clearly not from Bram Stoker.
Where you admit to plagiarizing Twilight: http://pokedream.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13995
I am right, and you know it. Step off the high horse now before I have to get mean. I don't think either of us will enjoy that.
Keke, stop it.
Nope Keke, Daywalking vamps are in Vampire Knight too. And A Thousand Years of Snow. And Blood+, if you consider those vamps. And probably a lot more out there. Fine, you found similarities to Twilight, and she admitted it. Now just drop the matter.
For the matter of fact I was writing a vampire story many years ago, even before Twilight was published. After it came out, I found a LOT of similarities. Does that mean I unconciously plagarized a book that I haven't read yet?
YOU step off your literary high horse. Just because you think that you're right doesn't give you the right to attack her. It's not your story, and it's none of your business. I now wonder if every romance story is now plagarising Romeo and Juliet. Yes, you're nice and kind-hearted and all in offering crits to help her improve her story, but I found out a long long time ago that offering crits to someone who doesn't really want crits doesn't make her improve, it just makes her miserable so I'll rather just offer advice to people who actually post that they actively want it so that they can improve because then my advice won't go to waste.
I still maintain that it was not an absurd assumption to make, considering your past admission to being a Twilight fan. Loving the series so well as to actually admittedly plagiarize it... So yeah. It was not out of line for me to assume such.
Your over reaction speaks volumes. You are being defensive because you are ashamed to admit your love for the series for fear of public humiliation due to the fact that it is extremely unpopular around here.
Advice: Chill out. Be yourself. Fuck everyone who doesn't like it. Don't alienate one of the only people on this forum who is ever nice to you because you don't like the fact that I don't like Twilight. Admit that it wasn't a crazy assumption and apologize for over reacting and jumping down my throat this way. You are behaving very poorly and losing many friendship points.
You know you like Twilight, and I don't care. Denying it to try to save face actually just makes you look bad.
And if I'm wrong, answer the one simple question instead of avoiding it with attacks as you have... If it isn't from Twilight, where does your lore come from? Cite one reference.
"People around here think that Twilight is dorky, so I am going to flip out and deny liking it." actually just makes you look like more of a loser than anything. It's okay to like unpopular stuff. This is a POKEMON forum.
Besides, I play with Webkinz. I'm nearly 28. The game is geared toward like 8 year olds. Ridicule away.
What's the problem, Yoshi?
Gee well she's only overreacting because you provoked her in the first place. Now can everyone drop it.
Ed I find it amusing that most of the nicknames you come up with are longer than the original name. :X Most nicknames arise out of the lazyiness to pronounce/type everything. XD Or as an inside joke, of course.
Is that right, O Queen of Spriting?
My name and my nickname have the same amount of letters

And look I know you only get mad cause some one won't agree with you. If you want to talk about people don't include me. I'm tired of all your crap. You have really pissed me off.
You can't say much anyway. You said you liked my story and said to keep going even if it was only a little bit at a time
I don't think I ever got one.
I guess since you are being such a bitch, all bets are off. Your story sucks. It's a rip off of an equally sucky story. Not only the plot, but the writing itself is horrible. Plagiarizing is wrong. Period. Stealing another author's work is deplorable, even if you do suck worse than a Dyson, be original at it.
You are a lying, unoriginal piece of shit and I sort of hope you die in a huge, blazing fire.
Have a great eternity in hell emogirl
Oh for the love of Chaos shut the hell up, Keke. If you're going to do this then take it somewhere else.
At some point maybe she will learn to stop picking fights with someone out of her league.
She'll come back with something poorly worded and in all caps with a lot of exclamation points. Somehow, she will be deluded into thinking that something like that would be at all adequate. She will be wrong, and again I will show her up.
I've given her many opportunities to back down. She declines. So she has forced my hand... It's a pity really. Maybe she will learn from this.
Maybe if YOU asked me nicely I will leave her alone.
Shut. Up.
That's great. Now fuck off and take it elsewhere.
The crap? Keke you need to take a good long look at yourself you know. Maybe the word 'attitude' will give you a hint. If you're that concerned about how you're an absolute goddess in comparision to her, let me put it in a way you understand: Stop picking fights with someone out of your league, since you feel that you're that great. A good debate is fun. A flaming match is nice when both sides actually have some damn ability. This is neither, it's just a classic case of bullying. What you're coming off now is being a snob. Shut up.
I made an innocent JOKING comment to who I thought was my friend (The Editor) and she picked a fight with me about it. She should really learn to choose her battles.
I've given her plenty of opportunity to shut up and back down, but she keeps picking at me. If she shuts up now, so will I.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
wabi-sabi, Wabi-Sabi Wednesday, Simply Imperfect, Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House, Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin, wabi-sabi interior, wabi-sabi decor, wabi-sabi mood, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
On Wabi-Sabi Wednesdays, I feature excerpts from my book, Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House, released last month. (Today, because of technical difficulties, I'm making it Wabi Thursday.)
"A luxurious house and the taste of delicacies are only pleasures of the mundane world. It is enough if the house does not leak and the food keeps hunger away. This is the teaching of the Buddha—the true meaning of Tea."—Tea Master Sen no Rikyu
In wabi-sabi conversations, this word authentic pops up. Everyone, from authenticity snobs who like certificates to Eastern religion seekers who hold authenticity in a completely different realm, has a different idea about what it means. For the purpose of this conversation, I'm defining an authentic wabi-sabi home as one that feels right, without pretense or compromise.
Homemakers in the Depression era knew wabi-sabi (even if they never uttered the phrase). In their homes, things were patched and mended but scrubbed and clean, handmade or chosen and paid for with care. Their linens may have been thin from many washings, but they were crisply white from lemon-juice treatments. Floors may have shown the wear of many feet, but they were swept clean and warmed up with a rug that had faded gracefully from brilliant red to pale rose. Wood had scratches, but it was polished to show off its grain. For those indoctrinated to believe that anything less than perfect should be replaced, our ancestors' hands-on frugality is enlightening—welcome respite in our prosperous age of planned obsolescence.

In a wabi-sabi home, possessions are pared down, and pared down again, to those that are necessary for their utility or beauty (ideally, both). What makes the cut? Useful things: the hand-crank eggbeaters from the flea market that work as well and with much less hassle than electric ones. Things that resonate with the spirit of their makers' hands and hearts: a handmade chair, a six-year-old's lumpy pottery, a lumpy sheep's wool afghan. Pieces of history: sepia-toned ancestral photos, baby shoes, a set of dog-eared Nancy Drew mysteries.
Wabi-sabi interiors are muted, dimly lit and shadowy—giving the rooms an enveloping, womblike feeling—with natural materials that are vulnerable to weathering, warping, shrinking, cracking, and peeling. The wabi-sabi palette, limited to browns, blacks, grays, earthy greens and rusts, implies a lack of freedom but actually offers the ultimate creative opportunity. In Japan, kimonos come in 100 shades of gray.
Eighteenth-century painter Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin captured wabi-sabi light, color and mood in his domestic still life paintings.

Stone Rollin' – written and produced by Raphael Saadiq, who also plays bass, mellotron, keys, guitar, percussion and even drums on most of the tracks – is even more powerful, urgent and bold than The Way I See It (2008). The new songs are firmly planted in classic R&B, and nod to Saadiq's heroes like Chuck Berry, Stevie Wonder, Little Walter and Sly Stone, with his own contemporary spin.
Stone Rollin' features its share of special guests too. Robert Randolph dropped by to lay down some nasty steel guitar on "Day Dreams." Guesting on "Just Don't" is Larry Dunn from Earth, Wind, and Fire, plus one of Saadiq's indie rock favorites, Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon. Another standout track is "Good Man," which brilliantly blends golden age soul with a killer hip hop hook, co-written and sung by upstart Taura Stinson. The new album is in stores today – get yours now!

The Monterey Pop Festival, held in June of 1967, was a completely innovative and monumentally influential event in American cultural history. Considered the premiere rock festival, rock movie and rock charity benefit and all a full two years before Woodstock, the Monterey International Pop Festival brought together artists of different styles, races and ages. From Ravi Shankar to Otis Redding to the Grateful Dead, the Festival was a gathering point for a generation, and the apotheosis of the "Summer of Love." The Rock Hall's exhibit opened on July 25 with a special lecture by Monterey Pop founder and famed producer Lou Adler.
Exhibit Highlights:
The exhibit, which is on display in the Ahmet M. Ertegun Exhibit Hall, is made possible because of the generous donations from Lou Adler and D.A. Pennebaker. Among the expansive collection of artifacts, the following are included:
· Telegrams from Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead and The Who regarding their attendance in the festival
· List of security guards for the show that includes a young carpenter named Harrison Ford
· Stage plots for the show
· Paul Simon's guitar
· The dress that Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas wore at their headlining appearance
· Pennebaker's movie camera
· Various photographs that capture the essence of Monterey International Pop Festival

They squeezed us in, and made us very welcome. They gave us plenty of advice on the area about beaches and villages etc and showed us where we cold walk the dogs off lead. The site has a couple of fields, our field had a maximum of 5 units at any time but you still had lots of space. There are two toilets and two showers, basic but ok. The price with hook up in peak season was very reasonable compared to others. The site is an easy 10 minute drive to the coast and Newcastle Emlyn a lovely market town.

Polluted golf course to regional attraction
A golf course built in the 1950s is now a 163-acre regional destination with a sporting center, events/wedding pavilion, trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, golf driving range and 18-hole putting course, and manmade 20-acre lake.

This banquet garden overlooking the Great Lawn can be rented for weddings and other special events.

Three bridges radiate from the new Royal Palm Beach Commons Parks Great Lawn area to trails, an 18-hole golf course, and a yet-to-be developed area.
Village of Royal Palm Beach
This interactive element attracts visitors of all ages to the park for relief from the hot southern Florida climate.
The new Royal Palm Beach Commons Parks kayak launch is adjacent to the 17,000-square-foot sporting center building.
The Great Lawn is ringed with picnicking pavilions and docks for fishing.
One of two giant banyan trees that were transplanted from the old golf course flank the sporting center building.
In 2003, after almost 50 years in business, the Tradition Golf Club in the heart of Royal Palm Beach, Fla., declared bankruptcy. Designed by Mark Mahannah and built five years after the community was incorporated in 1959, the 18-hole public course was eventually surrounded entirely by homes.
After several failed redevelopment attempts, the village of 36,000 residents took the initiative to purchase and repurpose the derelict 163-acre site. Today, it's a regional recreational destination.
The transformation wasn't without challenges, however. In addition to coming up with $25 million for redevelopment and working with adjacent landowners to develop an acceptable mix of amenities and activities, the most difficult was cost-effectively mitigating soil and groundwater contamination that had accumulated since the course was built in 1954.
During the economic boom in 2004, the village government had no debt and considerable reserves. Once the financing was in place, the village bought the property for $4.5 million. Then—and this is crucial—both construction and future operating costs were planned and budgeted for.
Even the Great Recession, which hit when construction was underway, became an advantage when interest rates and material and labor costs fell.
In 2006, the engineering department set about finding the right team of players to begin permitting and design. Department managers realized the park had to reflect residents' needs and recreational preferences. A lengthy community involvement process involving workshops, meetings, and mailers pinpointed expectations and ranked potential activities. This feedback was used to develop a detailed site master plan.
Transforming the site would be done in three phases:
With the first two phases complete, the park opened to the public in March with bike and walking trails; a new lake for kayaking; a great lawn area with playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, picnic pavilions, docks, and bridges to trails; a central plaza with a wedding pavilion, sporting center, banquet garden, and interactive fountain; a lighted driving range and 18-hole putting golf course.
Owner: Royal Palm Beach, Fla., Engineering Department
Project manager/civil engineering: Erdman Anthony
Environmental/geotechnical testing: Dunkelberger Engineering & Testing
Toxicology: HSWMR
Environmental lawyer: Lewis, Longman & Walker
Golf course design: Bates Golf Design Group
Planning/architecture/landscape architecture: IBI Group
Property (163 acres): $4.5 million
Contamination remediation: $2 million
Construction: $23 million
Funding: $1.4 million in grants from the South Florida Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
This meant that whoever bought the site would have to remediate it according to Florida's 62-780 law, which requires that concentration of these constituents of concern be low enough to be safe for residential land uses.
An environmental site assessment identified arsenic-impacted soil and groundwater, as well as dieldrin and toxaphene. Soil borings of various depths were taken generally within the confines of the old golf course holes. Arsenic levels in some areas exceeded residential direct-exposure values. The soil contamination was generally limited to the uppermost soil layers (from 6 inches to 24 inches) of previous golf tees and greens, where herbicides and pesticides were most used. Groundwater contamination was higher in the fairway areas, where runoff from tees and greens had accumulated and percolated into the ground.
With potential visitors running the gamut from toddlers to the elderly, and with many activities involving contact with the soil, ensuring that the site was safe for all uses became paramount. The department hired a toxicologist to develop a cleanup target level for each proposed use. Based on the expected exposure to visitors, construction workers, and maintenance staff, a standard for arsenic concentration in the soil was developed and approved by the state:
All three exceed the state's residential limit of 2.1 mg/kg. To give the village as much future flexibility as possible, the design team decided to apply the park standard of 5.5 mg/kg across the entire site.
There were no changes to the concentration levels allowed in the water, and the state standards of 10 µg/l (groundwater) and 50 µg/l (surface water) remain the goal.
Supplemental testing included wells drilled along the property line, offsite groundwater samples, and offsite surface water tests. Some groundwater contamination had migrated offsite. Therefore, extensive coordination with the state occurred and residents who were affected were made aware of the issue. Engineers developed a design that draws groundwater back toward the site to eventually lower offsite contamination to acceptable levels.

Since beginning my internship at the Library and Archives this summer, I've had the unique opportunity to process a number of collections, digitizing analog audio and video materials and organizing paper-based collections. Along the way, I've uncovered some real treasures. Here are some of my favorites:
The first collection I processed was the Jay Ruby Rock 'n' Roll Conference Lecture, an audio recording of the lecture, "'You're Probably Wondering Why I'm Here': The Social Implications of Rock 'n' Roll," given by the donor, Jay W. Ruby, at the Rock 'n' Roll Conference at Mills College in 1967. I really enjoyed this lecture, because Ruby focuses on describing the musical communities of the time to an academic audience that may or may not have been familiar with them, going into detail about the connection between rock music and hallucinogenic drugs and religion.
I also processed the KQRS Collection, donated by Shel Danielson, a long-time disc jockey at the KQRS radio station in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The bulk of the collection consists of reel-to-reel recordings of commercials for concerts and albums that the station broadcasted from 1973 to 1976. Some commercials exist in two versions: one that was broadcast during the day for "normal people," and one that was played to attract the underground crowd later at night. The collection also contains an audio recording of a great early interview with Patti Smith (this was the surprise), in which she talks about her early influences, most importantly poetry and Arthur Rimbaud.
After that, I worked on the Joel Makower Woodstock Interviews, which contain the original audiocassette interviews Makower conducted while researching his book, Woodstock: The Oral History, also available at the Library and Archives. Because our archival collections need to be quickly processed in order to make them available to researchers, we're not always able to spend the time we would like reading, listening to, or viewing materials in collections. This collection fell into that category, so I was unable to listen to the tapes, but the interview with members of Port-O-San, the company that provided Woodstock with its portable toilets, sounds like it could be my favorite!
To get some experience with paper collections, I also processed the Rick Taylor Papers, a collection donated by Taylor containing contracts, itineraries, and financial papers from some of the many concert tours for which he served as accountant. Luther Vandross is the best-documented artist of this collection, but other famous acts featured include Poison, U2, and Britney Spears. The tour riders are my favorite part about this collection: the lists of what each venue is required to provide in an artist's dressing room, and when they are required to provide it, can be both strange and hilarious.
The Eva M. Jones Audiocassettes were good practice for another collection I recently completed work on, a collection of bootleg concert recordings on compact disc donated by Frederick S. Boros. The Eva M. Jones Audiocassettes consist of five bootleg recordings of concerts from 1966 to 1978 by Bob Dylan, the Band, Bruce Springsteen, and Stephen Stills with Neil Young; while the Frederick S. Boros Audio Recordings collection is 25 boxes of CDs, 10 of which are of Bruce Springsteen concerts alone. I'm pretty sure it includes every Springsteen concert up to 2009. I haven't finished processing the collection yet, but so far I have learned a lot about Springsteen and the extent to which some fans will collect on their favorite artists.

an event
self-congratulatory nonsense is a solo installation by Joshua Elliott. All art stands on the embers of an old idea, waiting to be consumed by a change in social tide. We spend our lives filling white rooms with personal furies, childhood intimations, and portrayals of imposed self-importance. Walls become tightly packed with alternate realities, lit with sterile beams of hope. It is a place unregulated and impossibly personal.
We project an image of ourselves in the mirror each morning, mentally masking and emotionally processing, as we see fit. The change for better or for worse is inevitable. It is the time between that change which interests me most.

I picked up my XDs the other day and took it out to shoot it today. I set the target with a silouette on it up for 10 yards. I figured that was probably the max that I would consider for a concealed carry self defense scenario. I used Winchester white box 230 jhp and 230 fmj for the test. I wanted to make sure hollow points would function in this pistol. All tolled I put about 100 rounds through it.
I quess I was surprised at the lack of felt recoil. Of course there was recoil, but nothing like I had expected. I wouldn't put it at much more than my 1911. Easy to control and easy to get back on target for a second shot. It grouped nice but I need to adjust myself to the sights, it seems to shoot a little low the way I have become acustom to the sights on my 1911. No big deal, I just adjusted my point of aim.
My son brought along his 9mm pistol and he is pretty good with that. After the first shot with the XDshe looks at me and goes "HOLY SHIT!" He thought the recoil was pretty harsh, but then said maybe because his hand is so big it is hard for him to get a good grip. All in all he liked it too.
With minimal time with it I give it a great rating and recommend it. It came with two 5 round mags, a plastic paddle holster, a plastic magazine holder, a different backstrap to change the grip, a lock, and a hard plastic carrying case.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Troopers identify woman killed on U.S. 92 after being hit by 3 vehicles
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 7:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
A woman struck and killed by several vehicles while walking on U.S. 92 near Interstate 4 has been identified.
She is Bridgett Davis, 47, of Hawthorne, said FHP Sgt. Kim Montes.
Davis was hit at 4:40 a.m. Friday as she walked east on U.S. 92, Montes said.
Traffic was shut down on eastbound U.S. 92 for several hours but reopened about 8 a.m.
Davis was walking east in the inside lane of U.S 92 when she was hit by a vehicle driven by Nathan Camburn, 31, of DeLand. After she was thrown onto the outside lane of the highway, a blue vehicle and then a white one struck her, Montes said.
Camburn, who initially struck Davis, stopped, Montes said.
Troopers are asking anyone who saw the crash to call troopers at 407-737-2213, Montes said.
The drivers of the blue vehicle and white vehicle who did not stop after hitting the woman are also asked to call. Troopers have evidence they gathered at the scene to identify the vehicles that did not stop, Montes said.
The crash remains under investigation, Montes said.

Thanks for the Great Helmet, and fast service. I ordered the D.O.T. approved Half Shell helmet in Chrome. The Chrome is great and the helmets fits perfectly. I used the sizing chart and it is very accurate. This helmet is great at highway speeds with no windshield, you don't even know it is there.
