We are fortunate to feature Inductees and other world-class musicians. Read below to find out more about each artist.
Tribute Concert Emcee Wendell Pierce is an American actor who is most famously known for his portrayal of Detective Bunk Moreland on the hit HBO drama The Wire. Pierce was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended Benjamin Franklin High School. He starred in all five seasons of the HBO drama The Wire as Detective Bunk Moreland. He was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Support Actor in a Drama Series for the role in 2007. Pierce is helping to rebuild the flood-ravaged Pontchartrain Park neighborhood in New Orleans. The Pontchartrain Park project is at the core of a massive undertaking by the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority to acquire and sell 4,500 lots formerly occupied by Katrina-ravaged homes.
Dave Bartholomew proved himself to be a man of many talents: bandleader, trumpet player, songwriter, producer, arranger, talent scout, businessman, and more. He was also a recording artist, scoring one national R&B hit ("Country Boy," which went to #14) in 1950. However, it was in his nonperforming roles that Bartholomew had the greatest impact on popular music. One of the key architects of the New Orleans sound, Bartholomew served as a major behind-the-scenes figure in the transition from jump blues and big-band swing to rhythm & blues and rock and roll in the postwar era. In particular, he will forever be revered for his work with Fats Domino, one of the Crescent City's greatest musicians and a true pioneer in the rock and roll revolution.
Lloyd Price [Inducted 1998] – widely known as "Mr. Personality" – is among the premier rhythm & blues singers of the Fifties and Sixties. The Kenner, Louisiana native can also claim a host of other talents: musician, bandleader, songwriter, producer, record-company executive, booking agent, and entrepreneur. Inspired by the rhythm and blues sounds of Louis Jordan, Price's rhythm and blues recordings cut for Specialty Records epitomize the New Orleans sound. His biggest hit, "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" – an original song produced by Dave Bartholomew and featuring Fats Domino on piano – topped the R&B charts for seven weeks in 1952. "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" is a rhythm & blues classic that helped give birth to rock and roll.
Trumpeter James Andrews earned the moniker "Satchmo of the Ghetto" growing up in the New Orleans neighborhood of Tremé. He's come up through a variety of brass bands (including the Treme Brass Band and the New Birth Brass Band) and has played with Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Danny Barker, Dr. John and Michelle Shocked. A protégé of soul man Allen Toussaint, Andrews has taken his place alongside of contemporaries swinging the New Orleans tradition in contemporary ways. Grandson of the late Jessie Hill (of "Ooh-Poo-Pah-Doo" fame), Andrews was born into a musical family. Andrews' younger brother, Troy (aka "Trombone Shorty"), is a musical prodigy and rising star on the local and international traditional jazz scene. His spectacular styling and unique intonations make for evenings of blissful catapulting into a musical era in time no one would want to end. His recent appearances on HBO's Treme sparked a fire that rekindled the hearts of many and kept the spirit of New Orleans alive throughout the world over.
Amadee Castenell is a premier tenor saxophonist and flautist who has been nurtured by 30 years of playing in the rich multi-layered music scene of New Orleans. From 1973- 1983 he was musical director of the band Chocolate Milk, writing and performing on their albums for RCA Records. He has also been an important member of the Allen Toussaint Orchestra for 30 years.
When not touring, Amadee is an in-demand studio musician. Amadee has recorded with legendary artists including Dr. John, Robbie Robertson, Lee Dorsey, and The Neville Brothers. Dave Bartholomew describes Castenell as "a man full of good music…when you see him, you'd say that's a music dictionary. He is music - that's what he loves. I'm not just saying this; this is the way it is." Amadee has released several solo albums on NYNO records, including Amadee and Sax Dreams.
Raised in Sweden but based in New Orleans for most of her adult life, Theresa Andersson has spent her career mining the sonic roots of both homes, creating lush, soulful pop that has piqued the interest of fans and critics around the globe. After releasing several independent records over the past decade, Theresa's most recent album, Hummingbird, GO! (2008), put Theresa on the map, bringing her into the national, and then international spotlight. The Los Angeles Times heralded her as an "Artist to Watch in 2009," she has been featured on NPR, and she has appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. More recently, Theresa collaborated with Aaron Neville and Carlo Nuccio for "Glory Bound," a sequel to the famed New Orleans Saints' anthem "Who Dat". She also appears as a guest vocalist on Here Lies Love (2010), an album by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim.
Born in England and bred in New Orleans, Jon Cleary combines soulful vocals, masterful piano skills, and a knack for composing infectious grooves with melodic hooks and sharp lyrics. He balances a career performing on solo piano, with noted funk band The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, and his new power trio Piano, Bass & Drums, alongside a career as a notorious hired gun with the likes of Bonnie Raitt and John Scofield. Cleary is featured on vocals and keyboards on the recently released Piety Street by John Scofield & The Piety Street Band. Cleary has toured with Bonnie Raitt since 1999, and has appeared on the albums Silver Lining and Souls Alike. On these recordings, Raitt covered the Cleary originals "Fool's Game," "Monkey Business," "Unnecessarily Mercenary," and "Love on One Condition." Cleary has a long list of recording credits with artists such as Taj Mahal, Keb Mo, India Arie, and Ryan Adams. .........................................................................................................................................................
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominee Dr. John, or Mac Rebennack as known to friends and family, is universally celebrated as the living embodiment of the rich musical heritage exclusive to New Orleans. His colorful musical career began in the 1950s when he wrote and played guitar on some of the greatest records to come out of the Crescent City, including recordings by Professor Longhair, Art Neville, Joe Tex and Frankie Ford. In the 1960s, Dr. John continued to be in demand as a session musician, playing on records by Sonny and Cher, Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones and he developed the charismatic persona of Dr. John The Nite Tripper.
Native New Oreleanians the Dixie Cups originally consisted of sisters Barbara and Rosa Hawkins with their cousin, Joan Johnson. Discovered by singer Joe Jones ("You Talk Too Much") at a talent show, the trio was quickly signed to songwriter-producers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's newly launched Red Bird Records. The Dixie Cup's recording of "Chapel of Love," written by Geff Barry and Ellie Greenwich with Phil Spector, was released as a single. The Dixie Cup's recording of "Chapel of Love" ascended swiftly to #1 in the spring of 1964, knocking The Beatles' "Love Me Do" out of the top spot and earning the girls their first gold record. The Dixie Cups' next release, "People Say," garnered a second gold record for the group. Other hits would follow, like "You Should Have Seen the Way He Looked At Me," "Little Bell," and the delightful chant "Iko Iko," which, along with "Chapel of Love," have become the group's signature tunes.
The Lower 9-11 is Dr. John's current backing band featuring Herman Ernest on drums, David Barard on bass, and John Fohl on lead guitar. The Lower 911 were awarded a Grammy alongside Dr. John in 2008 for Best Contemporary Blues Album on City That Care Forgot.
As a top New Orleans studio musician, Robert Parker's saxophone can be heard on hits songs such as "Rockin' Pneumonia" by Huey "Piano" Smith, "Just a Dream" by Jimmy Clanton, "Skinny Legs" by Joe Tex and "Sea Cruise" by Frankie Ford. During his prolific career, Parker has also recorded with Little Richard and Professor Longhair. In the summer of 1966, his R&B hit "Barefootin'" shot to #1 on the Billboard charts. The song has become a classic, selling over ten million copies and recorded by over fifty artists, including Wilson Pickett and Johnny Winter.
Simply put, The Rebirth Brass Band is a New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the now infamous Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. Rebirth is committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands while at the same time incorporating modern music into their show. Their signature brand of brass funk has won over several generations of music lovers, and in a post-Katrina world, their name and music have become the soundtrack to their musically rich hometown. In the wake of the sometimes-stringent competition amongst brass bands, Rebirth is the undisputed leader of the pack, and they show no signs of slowing down.
Irma Thomas first achieved prominence with a string of 1960s hits such as "Time Is On My Side," (later covered by the Rolling Stones), "It's Raining" and "Wish Someone Would Care." Later in her career, Irma rebuilt her reputation as The Soul Queen of New Orleans, eventually signing with Rounder in 1986. After The Rain, recorded in rural Maurice, Louisiana only weeks after Katrina, won Irma her first Grammy®. Thomas has also earned Grammy® nominations for her live album Simply the Best! (1991), her collaboration with Marcia Ball and Tracy Nelson, Sing It! (1998), and, most recently, Simply Grand (2008). In 2009, she was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame.
Toots and the Maytals, originally called simply The Maytals, are considered legends of ska and reggae music. Their sound is a unique, original combination of gospel, ska, soul, reggae and rock. In Kingston, Jamaica, Toots met Henry "Raleigh" Gordon and Nathaniel "Jerry" McCarthy. Eventually naming themselves the Maytals, the vocal trio recorded their first album, Never Grow Old – presenting the Maytals, for producer Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One in 1962-63 (with musical backing from the legendary Skatalites). Recording at Island Records, the group released three best-selling albums, and enjoyed international hits with Funky Kingston in 1973 and Reggae Got Soul in 1976. In the late 1970s, The Specials included "Monkey Man" on their 1979 debut album and The Clash produced their version of "Pressure Drop." Toots received another Grammy nomination for his 2008 release Light Your Light. In recent years Toots has toured with The Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow and Los Lonely Boys. On April 20, 2010, Flip & Twist was released on Toot's own D & F Music label.
Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews is one of the rare artists with the virtuosity to draw the unqualified respect of some of the most iconic legends in jazz and the ability to deliver a high-energy funk rock show capable of mesmerizing international rock stars. A product of New Orleans' culturally rich Treme neighborhood, Trombone Shorty was a bandleader by the age of six. Now, at 23, Trombone Shorty has grown into a performer who commands the stage while emanating an elegance and class gleaned from his successful studies at the prestigious New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts. As a graduate, he joined the ranks of alums like Branford Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and Nicholas Payton. In 2009, New Orleans' premier music magazine, Offbeat, awarded Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue Best R&B/Funk Band for the second year in a row. Trombone Shorty himself picked up an award for Best Trumpet and he has been named Performer of The Year twice. Trombone Shorty has been profiled by Good Morning America and USA Today and has been featured the 2007 album Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino and the 2008 NBA All-Star game in New Orleans.
From his college days as a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to his Chairmanship of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Julian Bond has been an active participant in the movements for civil rights, economic justice, and peace and an aggressive spokesman for the disinherited.
As an activist who has faced jail for his convictions, a veteran of more than 20 years of service in the Georgia General Assembly, a writer, teacher, and lecturer, Bond has been on the cutting edge of social change since he was a college student leading sit-in demonstrations in Atlanta in 1960. He was one of several hundred students from across the South who helped to form SNCC in 1960, and shortly became SNCC's Communications Director, heading the organization's printing and publicity departments, editing the SNCC newsletter, The Student Voice, and working in voter registration drives in rural Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
Bond ultimately served four terms in the House and six terms in the Senate. In addition to holding honorary degrees from 23 schools, Time Magazine named Bond on its 200 Leaders list. Among his many publications, a collection of Bond's essays has been published under the title A Time To Speak, A Time To Act. He is currently a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the American University in Washington, D.C., and a Professor at the University of Virginia in the Department of History, where he is co-director of Explorations in Black Leadership. Bond is also Chairman Emeritus of the NAACP.

Well... My cousin's in the middle of a divorce and he's had to look up all the typical signs of a cheating spouse (His wife slept with his best friend for over a year, they did some sick shit too, but I'll save that for later) Anyways, he says she's probably cheating on me. She stays out late, goes out with her friends whenever she wants, while I stay home and watch the kid. She throws a fit if I go into her purse for anything, even if it's something she wanted me to find (thinking that it wasn't in her purse)
let's see... she is constantly angry and often distant, the last big one is.. she said it was totally okay if I wanted to sleep with other girls..
(I haven't ...YET.) So what's the verdict?

Women's Wednesday - Girls & Enduro Go Together Like Butter and Popcorn.
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
Author: Cheri Felix
(Photo Credit: 303Photo)
There's this great line in a song by Phillip Phillips. It goes like this; "Hold my head up just to keep it clear. I want a chance to face my fear, face my fear." That pretty much sums up the Big Mountain Enduro for me. I signed up not really thinking too much about the fact that I would A) have to ride up the chair lift multiple times and B) that I would scare myself like I did and C) that I would make such cool new women friends.
The Big Mountain Enduro is a five race series. The first two are done but it's not too late to get in on the action. Keystone, Durango and Moab are still to come. So let's get to it cause I know you want to know if I peed myself on the chair lift. Cause if you know me you know that I have a severe phobia of heights. And I'm also not a fan of peeing myself.
So, here it is. Enduros are multi stage and multi day races. For this particular race we had six stages over two days. Everyone races the same trail. The pros, the young ones and the old ones. The girls and the boys. That means it's tough. But in a good way. In a good scary way. I'm not going to lie to you. There were parts of the race that I honestly thought, "What the hell am I doing?" Some parts were hard. Some parts (a lot of them) were flowy just like I like it and some parts were just ovaries out tough. And although quitting wasn't an option I did feel a bit in over my head at times.
But let me tell you what. It was one of the best weekends I've ever had. I tested my mettle. I saw what I could do. I saw what I could do when I pushed fear aside. I saw that I could trust my skills. I saw that I'm pretty good. Not the best but definitely good. And I made friends. There was Jeff who said "Sit by me" on the chair lift so I wouldn't be scared. And there were all the cool women that I raced with; Sylvia. Roxy, Debbie, Shona, Jacque and Marcy. Very cool and very strong and very good. And there was Gavin and David that took me under their wing in the Elevation Cycles Tent. All of them combined as well as the folks at Big Mountain Enduro made it a stellar weekend.
The way it works is you race your stage and then you wait until the next one. That can take a while but Enduro is unlike any other race I've done. Normally you ride your heart out for 20 minutes, an hour or two hours and you pack it up and you go home. Enduro is like a sweet long date. It's like a simmering stew on the stove on a cold winter's night. It's like the night you met "the one" and you stayed up all night talking. It takes time. There's no rushing it. And if you've got the time and the patience, it's worth it. A million times over and over.
Women and Enduro do go together. I loved racing with the other women over 40 and I LOVED meeting the 19 year old girls and everyone in between. If you like to ride fast and you think downhill is fun, check it out. You might just end up with some new friends and some new found respect for yourself. Like I did.
And no I didn't pee in my chamois. Apparently I'm not afraid of chair lifts anymore.

4.5 20 20
This originally started as an apple cake recipe. But I worked it into a recipe for cookies and have been making them this way ever since. It's a nice way to feature fall's delicious produce.
- 2/3 cup butter-flavored shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely chopped peeled tart apple
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
- In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir half into the creamed mixture. Stir in the apple, walnuts if desired and remaining flour mixture.
- Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 3 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.

Global coment: not the flat we 'd recommend
in detail: good location when you like it quiet and out of the center but near the metro and the trsinstation you are close to everywhere. You are enbedded in a working-class living area close to a nice market.
the flat is big and kind o vintage style but it seemes like nobody has a caring eye on it. The kitchen is paltry, the refrigerator was enbedded in a 5cm icecoat and rraly dirty...the lining was mould, even on the front was sticky with...marmelade?..
. Anyway you didn t want to touch anything...
the bathroom was big but the bathtube was dirty and rusty. The showe could not be hung up becausr the hook was missing, the towels were dirty as well as the bedsheets. Nothing inside here makes us feel cosy.
the living room is like a salon with a wintergarden in front, very nice structured but the couch was a mess.
the terrace was downdtsairs in between higher Appartement buildings. The garden furniture was mostly ruined, the plants dead, although not the pkace you wanna be...
Christian does not exist. It is actually a big holiday real estate agency call inter home. So if you look for a private apartment don´t book this one. The flat was very dirty and we have to clean everything on arrival because we have two babies. And they charged us 24€ for cleaning service!!!. We complaint about this but they refused because they say we have not evidences about it. So they say "we are a liars".
Very good situation near the lakes and quite good reception
The flat was like it is showed in the pictures, very confortable and had the basic things you need for your stay. It is also close to a very beautiful cala.
To have a car is a must, since it is located in a little town outside of porto Cristo.
We found some welcoming orange juice, water and cookies, which I found nice and was very much appreciated.
We had an issue with the Wlan, I called the company and they tried to fix it as soon as possible.
After paying the sum announced in the ad on Wimdu, we got an e-mail where we found out that the host is a company called Interhome - to find that information in the ad, you have to click "Further information" under "Terms for cancellation"... not very obvious. The e-mail informed us that to get further information about how to find the apartment, we had to pay a 300€ deposit with our VISA. The mail also informed us the we were obliged to pay another 57€ (19€/person) for final cleaning. To do the cleaning ourselves, wasn't an option. Still we got a list with things we had to do by ourselves before leaving. On our arrival we, in fact, found that the apartment wasn't very well cleaned. For example, there was a big yellow stain on the mattress cover, and our feet got dirty from walking on the floor. The balcony wasn't swept at all. We'll never book through Interhome again.
The appartment is a bit old fashion.
Wonderful apartment, easy to check in and check out. Great views. Wanted to stay longer but had other bookings. Easy to park. Groceries pretty expensive though and beware of strict refuse disposal that requires special plastic bag (can be bought at landlord office) but not an issue as the whole experience was simply great.
The appartment was amazingly beautiful and perfectly clean. The landlords are the loveliest couple you can imagine and they were also really helfull. Thanks a million!
Our stay there was nice. We had a great time. The Charles' Bridge is very near and the castle too. We didn't need any public transport. The place is busy but the windows are at the back and it was quiet. The flat is dark and the stairs are hard to climb with luggage. But our host brought them for us. Thanks.
The Positano Elegant Terrace was just that. We loved this place. We would love to live here! Everyone was so helpful with picking us up at the train and on the way on to Venice they drove us in to Naples to catch the train. This was our favorite place in the three weeks we stayed in Italy. It was heaven and the perfect honeymoon spot. Will definitely want to stay in one of their places again.

Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Certified cheese expert Matt Caputo says:
Imagine a small farmstead goat's milk brie. As if that was not enough to claim victory, now imagine Jersey cow's milk cream added to the goat curds before the wheels are formed. Then the cheese is ripened until the protein and fat breakdown makes for an supple bloomy rind with cheese paste the texture of room-temperature butter. This means 75% butterfat. This means 100% sexy time in your mouth!
Tonight I attended a wine dinner with vineyard manager and wine maker Will Bucklin from Old Hill Ranch. The dinner at Pallet restaurant exceeded my expectations, but as I was obsessively smelling and drinking Will's 2012 Rosé I could not help but fantasize about rubbing some Kunik cheese into my face. In New York's Adirondacks, Sheila Flanagan makes this "Kunik." It is the triple cream goat and cow's milk blend cheese I described above.
This specific combination is not a pairing that I have experienced before but I plan to rectify this senseless tragedy tomorrow. Pristine small farm fermented goat's milk (amped with cream) meets dry-farmed grape juice fermented using no commercial yeasts. If you are not a die-hard cheese and/or wine connoisseur, you may not know how significant this is going to be. Just know that thanks to the unearthly dedication of Will and Sheila, my tomorrow is going to be better than yours.
Ed: note: Find Kunik at Caputo's. The Bucklin 2012 Rosé won't be in the DABC wine store for a few weeks. Keep your eye out for it and meanwhile, try Will's other wines.

Fashion fans gathered at designer Lorena Sarbu's Beverly Hills abode for a lunch viewing of her resort 2014 collection and the launch of her West Hollywood atelier. Danny Huston, Natasha Henstridge, Cameron Silver and Timothy White were among those to gaze at the poolside catwalk from under oversized umbrellas in the lush garden setting, while DJ Mathieu Schreyer provided the afternoon soundtrack. Before saying farewell, guests were gifted a gold-colored metal and leather bar belt—a key styling element of the new collection that stylist Deborah Waknin pegged as adding "a modern edge to a red-carpet look."

November 10, 2011 — If you have ever paid a visit to St. Cecilia's Parish in East Harlem, you know that it is not your typical national landmark. Far from being merely architecturally astounding, it is one of the most beautiful examples of Catholic service in our community. For more than a century, the parish has been dedicated to helping our neighbors in need in New York.
Originally the church of the Irish community in New York when it was established in 1883, St. Cecilia currently ministers to a diverse parish community from all parts of the world, including Italy, Jamaica, Philippines, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Africa, Germany and Ireland.
Parish community services include a food pantry, Narcotics Anonymous, Justicia en el Barrio, HIV Momentum Project, and more. The Parish Service Center, established in 1972 and funded by Catholic Charities New York, provides counseling, responds to health problems, and assists with family crises. At this service-driven church, the needs of the people of East Harlem are handled with compassion and respect.
A Day Nursery, which cares for the children of working mothers, is still run by the Sisters of Atonement, who first established the program at St. Cecilia's in 1927, and a summer program, operated in partnership with Catholic Charities and the East Harlem Community Corporation, provides recreational, cultural and religious enrichment opportunities for local youth.
Recently, Catholic Charities was awarded $10,000 by the RealNetworks Foundation to support services at St. Cecilia's, specifically emergency food and emergency relief services.
Fathers Stevens, Holland, Smith and Brinkmann serve as the current chaplains of nearby Mt. Sinai Hospital, Fifth Avenue Hospital and The Flower Free Surgical Hospital.
Members of the St. Cecilia's parish community, together with those from Our Lady Queen of Angels, under Father Raymond Hand, O.F.M., Cap., also sponsor a narcotics treatment center called "Enter." The program offers a soup kitchen, beds, a detoxification program and therapy to all who come for help. Constant clothing and food drives run through both parishes help support of this vast undertaking.
Are you a member of St. Cecilia's parish and volunteer in one of their ministries? Share your experience with us.

Virtualizing Microsoft SQL on VMware vSphere
Improve Business Agility
Rapidly Provision SQL Servers with Virtual Machine Templates
On physical hardware, deploying a new SQL Server can take days or weeks to procure the hardware, install and configure the infrastructure, and install the associated applications and updates. Eliminating repetitive operating system installation and patching tasks with virtual machine templates can speed deployment times. You can deploy new virtual machines with a core configuration in a matter of minutes, allowing rapid provisioning of applications into production.
Scale Dynamically with CPU and Memory Hot-Add
Databases are particularly difficult to size. Administrators are often forced to forecast capacity requirements for three to five years in the future and then translate that estimate into system specifications (CPU, memory, storage). Any sizing errors require the application to be re-provisioned, causing downtime and major disruption to the application. With the vSphere Hot-add feature, applications can be provisioned in a "future proof" manner. As applications grow over time and require more compute, memory, network or storage resources, scale up virtual machines dynamically and on the fly, without disrupting the application or requiring complex re-provisioning.
Enhance Testing and Troubleshooting with Cloned Production Virtual Machines
Shorten time to resolution of critical issues and reduce their overall impact on the production environment with VMware-enabled testing and troubleshooting. Use live snapshots of virtual machines to instantly roll back to a previous known good configuration. Make an exact, independent copy of any virtual machine in your environment with cloning. The copy can then be installed in a test environment for offline testing and troubleshooting. Share virtual machines with third parties such as consultants, other partners and vendors and eliminate the need to create a duplicate environment to reproduce problems. In complex application environments supported by SQL Server, this capability is especially valuable.
Improve Your Business Continuity
Protect All Applications with Simple High Availability
Simplify application availability by eliminating the need to use complex and expensive application-specific clustering solutions. VMware vMotion and DRS can reduce planned downtime and balance workloads dynamically while VMware HA can help recover SQL Servers in the case of host failure. At the application level, all Microsoft features and techniques are supported on vSphere, including database mirroring, failover clustering and log shipping, so you can use the best features from both VMware and Microsoft.
Provide Cost-Effective Disaster Recovery
Ensure fast, simple and cost-effective recovery by automating the recovery process and eliminating the complexity of managing and testing customized recovery plans with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager. Reduce costs by eliminating the need for dedicated hardware at the remote site.

I waivered between ordering a medium or a small. I am hippy and can be anywhere from a size 6 to a size 12. I'm glad I ordered the small! If you look at the size chart for the garment, you'll notice there's not much variation between sizes. It was longer than I expected (but I just didn't pay attention to the length, I was more focused on hips). The side slits are 12" deep, but they start at about my hip-bone. Love wearing it and have already received compliments!
Great Tunic for a Great Price
By National Geo Fan
from Livonia, MI
This tunic is just as beautiful in person as it appeared in the magazine/website. It is made of 100% lightweight cotton, and the tag recommends washing the tunic by hand, which I did and then line-dried, and the colors did not bleed nor fade. I purchased it as a beach cover up, but it is so nice I plan on wearing it throughout the summer. Because the fabric is lightweight, it is a bit see through so plan on wearing a tanktop under it. Love it!
Perfect spring and summer tunic

After days of speculation about a rumored relationship between Gloria James and LeBron James' teammate Delonte West, Hall of Fame Rockets player Calvin Muphy said the story was true in a radio interview in Houston with an ESPN affiliate according to Deadspin.
"It ain't no rumor," Calvin Murphy said. "Unfortunately, my sources in the NBA tell me that it's absolutely true. My sources, and they're legit, tell me the only people that didn't know it was happening was LeBron and me."
"And let me tell you something. Delonte West now is one of these players now that is going to get what they call the old proverbial black ball…I could not imagine me being in that situation and him still being on my team cause one of us is going to be dead and the other one is going to be in jail."
My colleague George Diaz talked about how this story has been ignored by much of the mainstream media, but AOL's story officially ushered this into the mainstream.
Although Calvin Murphy has questionable character given his background, his comments certainly make you wonder if this story has some legs. It would certainly give some explanation for LeBron James' playoff performances.
In light of Murphy's comments, do you believe LeBron James will stay in Cleveland or has he already packed (and maybe his mom's) bags?

An inside look at the SAGES program.
Many people are surprised when they learn that we teach all ages at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum – from toddlers to adults. As a Presidential
Fellow in Case Western Reserve University's SAGES program (the Seminar Approach to General Education and Scholarship) I have been teaching Rock and Roll Hall of Fame courses to undergraduates for the last three years with topics such as "Writing Rock and Roll" and "Rock and Roll Subcultures."
When I teach, I always try to lead students to that elusive "ah-ha" moment, when they begin to really understand why the subject matters. Last week in my college course "Electro Pop: The History of Popular Electronic Music," the class had that kind of moment. Through our discussion of Luigi Russolo's 1913 essay The Art of Noises students realized that electronic music allowed them to use any and all sounds. Because of this it gave each of them, regardless of their musical background, a chance to be composers. And that musicians and artists have been saying that since as early as 1913. Ah-ha.
Last year, Ted Ottaviano of the synth-pop band Book of Love contacted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum about teaching a college level course on synthesizer music. Because of my experience with electronic music as both a scholar and performer, I jumped at the chance to work with Ted. A new course on electronic music was an excellent idea.
Ted and I both wanted students to not only learn the history of electronic music but to become practitioners of it. Using the Music Department's Center for Music and Technology students will complete short musical experiments and songs with the Propellerhead Reason software package. Ted will make several visits to Cleveland to work with the students in an extended workshop where they will create their own music. We have just completed the third week of class and the students are already deeply involved in both thinking about the history and sound of the music and trying their own hands at the task. Who knows, the next big synth-pop star may be in our class right now.
Here's a playlist of just a few classic tracks that we will listen to in class this semester:
· Kraftwerk, "Trans-Europe Express" from Trans-Europe Express (1977)
· Donna Summer, "I Feel Love" from I Remember Yesterday (1977)
· The Human League, "Don't You Want Me" from Dare! (1981)
· New Order, "Blue Monday" from the 12 inch single (1982)
· Depeche Mode, "Master and Servant" from Some Great Reward (1984)
· Skinny Puppy, "Assimilate" from Bites (1985)
· Book Of Love, "Boy" from Book of Love (1985)

FMH is the first healthcare provider in Frederick County to offer digital mammography with the addition of thre Lorad® SeleniaTM digital mammography systems.
"Digital mammography definitely has advantages for the patient," said radiologist Dr. Greg Lavanier. "Many women including young woman and those choosing hormone replacement therapy have dense breasts. For them, screening with digital mammography provides better visualization of the breast tissue, which translates into better patient care."
The radiologist can view and manipulate the images on high-resolution computer monitors that enhance visualization of the structures within the breast tissue. They can also adjust brightness and contrast, and zoom in on specific areas to help detect small calcifications, masses and other changes that may be signs of early cancer, which may alleviate the need for additional imaging and more exposure to radiation.
"Women will notice little difference when going for a digital mammogram," said Dr. Lavanier. "The procedure is the same as traditional film mammography, but less time consuming. Both use x-rays to generate images of the breast. However, instead of using film to capture and record the image, a digital mammogram uses a special detector to capture and convert x-ray energy into a digital image."
Digital mammography offers a number of other practical advantages and patient conveniences. Because digital mammography is filmless, nothing has to be developed - saving time. At FMH Rose Hill and FMH Crestwood, Monday through Friday, a radiologist reviews the images while the patient waits. This unique service allows for additional images, or procedures such as a breast ultrasound, to be performed the same day, greatly reducing the need for a return visit.To supplement this technology, FMH has incorporated digital Computer-Aided Detection (CAD). Digital CAD highlights characteristics commonly associated with breast cancer. When activated, it flags abnormalities to help the radiologist detect early breast cancer. CAD is, in essence, a second set of eyes to support and enhance the radiologist's judgment.
Digital images are easily stored and transferred electronically, eliminating the dependency on one set of original films, which can be misfiled or lost in transit. Of course, hard copies can always be produced if needed.
FMH Radiologist Dr. Peter Kremers visited WHAG-TV to discuss the importance of mammograms for women ages 40+ and self breast exams for all women. Interested in 3D mammography? Dr. Kremers describes it here:
Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system for examination of the breasts. The images of the breasts can be viewed on film at a view box or as soft copy on a digital mammography work station. Most medical experts agree that successful treatment of breast cancer often is linked to early diagnosis. Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them. Current guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) recommend screening mammography every year for women, beginning at age 40.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) adds that women who have had breast cancer and those who are at increased risk due to a genetic history of breast cancer should seek expert medical advice about whether they should begin screening before age 40 and about the frequency of screening.
A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray used to examine the breasts to detect lumps before they can be felt. The breast is placed on a film and gently pressed. This compression, while briefly uncomfortable, greatly improves the quality of the image. Mammography at the hospital, FMH Crestwood and FMH Rose Hill is performed in a discrete area of the imaging department that provides for patient privacy.
All FMH Imaging facilities are now offering a Softer Mammogram, which uses a soft foam cushion called a MammoPad to make the experience more comfortable. Learn more about the MammoPad.
Mammography is used to aid in the diagnosis of breast diseases in women. Screening mammography can assist your physician in the detection of disease even if you have no complaints or symptoms. Initial mammographic images themselves are not always enough to determine the existence of a benign or malignant disease with certainty. If a finding or spot seems suspicious, your radiologist may recommend further diagnostic studies.
Before scheduling a mammogram, discuss any new findings or problems in your breasts with your doctor. In addition, inform your doctor of any prior surgeries, hormone use, and family or personal history of breast cancer.
Do not schedule your mammogram for the week before your period if your breasts are usually tender during this time. The best time is one week following your period. Always inform your doctor or x-ray technologist if there is any possibility that you are pregnant.
Before the examination, you will be asked to remove all jewelry and clothing above the waist and you will be given a gown or loose-fitting material that opens in the front.
A mammography unit is a rectangular box that houses the tube in which x-rays are produced. The unit is dedicated equipment, because it is used exclusively for x-ray exam of the breast with special accessories that allow only the breast to be exposed to the x-rays. Attached to the unit is a device that holds and compresses the breast and positions it so images can be obtained at different angles.
The breast is exposed to a small dose of radiation to produce an image of internal breast tissue. The image of the breast is produced as a result of some of the x-rays being absorbed (attenuation) while others pass through the breast to expose film. The exposed film is placed in a developing machine, producing images much like the negatives from a 35mm camera.
During mammography, a specially qualified radiologic technologist will position you to image your breast. The breast is first placed on a special platform and compressed with a paddle.
Breast compression is necessary in order to:
The technologist will go behind a glass shield while making the x-ray exposure, which will send a beam of x-rays through the breast to the film behind the plate, thus exposing the film.
You will be asked to change positions slightly between images. The routine views are a top-to-bottom view and a side view. The process is repeated for the other breast.
The examination process should take about half an hour. When the mammography is completed you will be asked to wait until the technologist examines the images to determine if more are needed.
You will feel pressure on the breast as it is squeezed by the breast paddle. Some women with sensitive breasts may experience discomfort. If this is the case, schedule the procedure when your breasts are least tender. The technologist will apply compression in gradations. Be sure to inform the technologist if pain occurs as compression is increased.
Our goal is to provide the women of Frederick County with the most thorough, accurate and prompt evaluation possible. In most cases, a radiologist -- a physician experienced in mammography and other x-ray examinations -- will be onsite reading mammograms in real time. Most women who have normal mammograms will leave their exam with a letter that says no suspicious areas were found and encouraging them to return for another mammogram in a year's time.
If the radiologist notes something on the mammogram that needs a closer look, the patient will be introduced to our Navigator who will explain the next steps involved. Based on the radiologist's recommendation and with the permission of the patient's primary care provider, follow-up imaging and even biopsies can often be scheduled for the same day. Results from those procedures are typically available in a few days.

For hundreds of years, women in the rural villages of the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland have knit natural wool sweaters for their fisherman kin. At weekly gatherings, they examined each other's work and continually invented intricate new stitches. Each of the stitches in this generously sized, traditional Aran sweater represents a facet of fishing culture: the honeycomb stitch for hard work, the cable stitch for safety on the waters, and the basket weave as a wish for a plentiful catch.
Made in Ireland. 100% merino wool. Men's sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48), XXL (50-52).
Hand-wash or dry clean.
The thick-knit, cream-colored sweater that we often associate with fishermen has its origins on the Aran Islands at the mouth of Galway Bay in western Ireland. Enterprising women on the islands began knitting the sweaters in the early 1900s, using untreated, lanolin-rich wool. The goal was not only to provide a heavy and water-resistant garment to keep their families warm in Galway Bay's rough weather, but also to supplement the island's fishing economy by making a craft that could be sold year-round and utilized traditional skills and patterns. Journalist and Irish culture activist Pádraig Augustine Ó Síocháin helped make the Aran sweaters especially popular in the mid-20th century by organizing the export of hand-knit sweaters to other countries.
There is a myth that families each have their own patters of stitches, and that a drowned fisherman could be recognized by the designs on his sweater, much like a Scottish clan tartan. While it's true that certain stitches have come to take on symbolic meanings, the diversity of patterns is more accurately attributed to the creative group of artisans who started making the sweaters. Always eager to show off new ideas, creative knitters developed new patterns and taught them to their friends, who added their own twists and passed the pattern along again.
Today, folks on the islands and visitors from around the world often choose sweaters based on the symbolism that the different intricate stitches have taken on. Just some of the patterns found include:

I had this type of sweater before: the problem is I a big man...I need a size XXL. This size is available for women, but not for men. Why is this a problem?
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We are listening and have been working with our vendors to make larger sizes available. We plan to start offering this particular sweater in XXL for both men and women in our Holiday 2012 catalog. Please check back with us at the end of September.

Msgr. Sullivan laid out a clear message when he testified before the New York State Legislature in Albany on Wednesday about the state's upcoming 2013-2014 Human Services Budget.
"The needs of the poor and vulnerable must not be ignored," he said.
Msgr. Sullivan chairs the NYS Council of Catholic Charities Directors and spoke before the legislature on their behalf. His testimony covered numerous issues faced by the working poor and those in need including cost of living adjustments, child-care subsidies to allow parents to work and reforms in Medicaid the juvenile justice system.
"It is our hope that humane and wise decisions will be made to deal with the current budget balancing effort; decisions that do not add further stress and hopelessness to those already struggling with great burdens," Msgr. Sullivan said in conclusion.
"The State Legislature has a history of identifying services that are essential to their constituents and finding a way to address those needs. We can and must find a way to arrive at a result that does not further jeopardize the poor and vulnerable members of our society — a budget that affirms the dignity of all our state's people. We stand ready to work with you in achieving this laudable goal."

Student Conduct
Our Mission
William & Mary's Student Conduct and Honor programs serve to maintain the College community's values and behavioral expectations of its students. The mission of Student Conduct is to promote a living and learning environment that is respectful of the rights and perspectives of others, that is safe and free from disruption, and that allows students and faculty members to pursue their educational goals.
The office fulfills its mission by providing educational programs, confronting behavior that violates our community expectations and engaging students in reflective learning in order to foster personal development, civility, and an understanding of the responsibilities attendant with living in our community.
Fostering Personal Growth and Responsibility
The Student Conduct and Honor systems at the College of William & Mary exist to provide a living and learning environment that reflects the values of the community, including those of personal integrity, academic integrity, concern for the rights of others, and personal responsibility. These values are reflected in the Honor Code, the Code of Conduct, and other College policies.
Staff members are available to provide information to students, faculty, and staff about the College community's standards, to provide information about relevant procedures, and to discuss complaints related to students or student groups.
Please refer to the Student Handbook for a complete explanation of the Conduct and Honor processes. Also check out the flow charts that depict how the Conduct (pdf) and Honor (pdf) processes work.
The Codes provide not only your duties as members of the community, but also your rights--rights to live independently and safely, and rights to be judged academically on a level playing field on the basis of your own merits.
If you are here because you suspect any student misconduct, you may submit a violation report to the Dean of Students Office.

Just as the first challenge to the constitutionality of teaching "intelligent design" in the public school science classroom is underway in the trial of Kitzmiller v. Dover, Matthew J. Brauer, Barbara Forrest, and Steven G. Gey offer a definitive assessment of the legal issues involved in their new law review article "Is it science yet? Intelligent design creationism and the Constitution," published in Washington University Law Quarterly (2005; vol. 83, no. 1).
The external review of the latest draft of the Kansas science standards is complete, and there's no comfort in it for the antievolutionist majority on the state board of education. The external reviewer, Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL), restricted its comments to the educational usefulness of the standards and did not evaluate their scientific accuracy. Even so, the antievolution material inserted by the board at the behest of local "intelligent design" enthusiasts came under fire.
In the Kansas City Star (October 9, 2005), Jason Gertzen and Diane Stafford report that Kansas's reputation as a state officially hostile to evolution education is having discernible effects on recruitment efforts at universities and in the burgeoning biotechnology industry. "Some business leaders and economic development recruiters in the region say ...

Militants say military killed 35 hostages, 15 kidnappers
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 7:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
ALGIERS, Algeria — Islamist militants have told a Mauritanian news outlet that Algerian military helicopters strafed the gas complex where they are holding hostages, killing 35 of the foreigners and 15 of the kidnappers.
The spokesman for the Masked Brigade, which had earlier claimed responsibility for the assault Wednesday on the gas complex deep in the Sahara desert, said Thursday that Abou El Baraa, the leader of the kidnappers, was also killed in the helicopter attack.
The information came from the Nouakchott Information Agency, which has often carried reports from al-Qaida-linked extremist groups.
The militant spokesman said the kidnappers were attacked by Algerian helicopters when they attempted to leave the complex.
The Algerian government would not immediately comment on the standoff and the Associated Press was not able to independently confirm the information.

ZF-7349: Zend_Reflection_File does not reflect interfaces. Zend_CodeGenerator cannot generate interfaces.
The tokenizer in Zend_Reflection_File ignores T_INTERFACE so it is not possible to reflect interfaces within files at the moment. Zend_Reflection_Class inherits ReflectionClass thus it should be possible to reflect interfaces.
Zend_CodeGenerator_Php_Class assumes that Zend_Reflection_Class is always a class. So it is not possible to generate an interface.
Fixed in r17426 in trunk
Your fix for Zend_Reflection_File is fine.
The other part of the issue concerning Zend_CodeGenerator_Class seems to be still existing. Shall I open another issue for that?
The problem is that Zend_CodeGenerator assumes that Zend_Reflection_Class is always a class not an interface. If you try to generate an interface with Zend_CodeGenerator_File parsed via Zend_Reflection_File you will encounter some problems.
Zend_CodeGenerator_File::fromReflection() does not set the filename. I think
following the line with
will fix that.

So today is the day when shoppers and retailers in the United States, our awesome neighbours to the south, go bonkers. Yes bonkers. Shoppers chase the ultimate deal and store clerks just try to "deal" with it. Online retail websites that haven't taken the time to "beef up" for the additional volume today will soon learn that "crash and burn" is not a good thing to hear from their IT department when the CEO asks how things are going.
In Canada though we are much more civilized. We politely ask consumers to continue to shop locally and as a courtesy, offer some nice sale prices so that they don't feel left out as compared to their friends in the south. Of course there are some of our loyal Canadian citizens that will politely wait in line at the border crossings for hours so that they can then wait in the store line-ups for even more hours. They do this just to be neighbourly of course. There are also Canadians that will order products online this Black Friday and have them shipped, but that's only because they want to help keep their local mail or delivery person employed. We certainly owe all these wonderful consumers a vote of thanks for supporting the global economy. (more…)

ZF-6468: "BlackHole" cache backend
Sometimes developers want temporary disable caching. The easiest way is switch backend to some other. I propose include new backend with name "BlackHole". It is always return true for storing data, false when loading/test data, and empty array for searching by tags, etc... It implement Extended interface for more compatibility.
NB: 'caching=false' option is not equal this backend, i.e. you can use this backend as part of Two_Levels backends.
BlackHole backend.
Yeah, a Null backend could be cool for testing purposes
change Assignee because I'm inactive now
Probabry, I think the method getFillingPercentage() should return integer zero instead of array() .
Yes, you are right
Thanks comment, Ilya ;-)
It would be released in 1.10 . Plz try and report ;-)
with current trunk - my application works good. But some slow now ;)

FBI Washington
The FBI Washington is a Washington four-door sedan adopted for use by the FBI in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It has better handling and is faster than the standard Washington.
When first introduced in GTA Vice City, the FBI Washington sports only minor differences that distinguish it from a conventional Washington. The most evident difference is its unique body color (dark gray in GTA Vice City, and white in GTA Vice City Stories), as well as side trims that run from the front to the back and over the wheel wells. The FBI Washington is more stable than the Police Car in the game, which has a tendency to roll on the slightest grade. The player may also use the FBI Washington to start Vigilante missions.
Unlike the FBI Rancher, the FBI Washington emits a siren but has neither a visible strobe light nor an actual light emitted from the where the "invisible" strobe light should be. This was rectified in GTA Vice City Stories, when a red light is emitted from the dashboard (without an actual strobe light visible). Regardless, the FBI Washington's siren can be used to clear the road ahead from traffic. The FBI Washington is a undercover car but due to its only kind with it's dark gray body color its stands out from the rest of the traffic.
Adoption by the FBI
While implied to be used by the FBI to pursue a player with a 5-star wanted level, the FBI Washington is not normally driven by FBI agents in GTA Vice City, as the FBI Rancher already serves this purpose. Instead, the FBI Washington is only available behind a music store in Downtown Vice City. In GTA Vice City Stories, however, the FBI Washington effectively replaces the FBI Rancher as the vehicle of choice by the FBI.
In GTA Vice City Stories, the FBI Washington's original color is white, but when the player first gets 5 wanted stars and these vehicles start appearing, the car sometimes appear black, though it changes its color back to white after some time. Sometimes, FBI Washington's can mysteriously change color when driving, right before the players' eyes. Also, the FBI Washington's that are used for barricading the roads are white.
- Due to its near similar design to a regular Washington, the FBI Washington can occasionally be confused as being used by the French during "All Hands On Deck" in GTA Vice City. However, the car is actually a regular Washington, as evidenced by its lack of side trimming.
- In GTA Vice City, the FBI Washington is one of the three law enforcement vehicles that can only be repaired/resprayed at the Pay N' Spray. (The others being the VCPD Cheetah and FBI Rancher).
- In GTA Vice City Stories, however, the car cannot be repaired/resprayed thus making it difficult to obtain one, one way to get on is to survive a five-star rampage and then going to the Pay N' Spray hopefully having the chance of the car being there, but since the FBI blockades in GTA Vice City Stories easily take down any car the best way to do this is to buy a bullet-proof vehicle and then getting five-stars, going to the Pay N' Spray and if the blockade was near the area then there should be a FBI washington.
