Despite what people like this lily-white Catholic woman here say; — who seems to suffer from some sort of Trent Lott syndrome or maybe it is the fact that she really needs to go have a baby or something. It can only help her, then perhaps she will stop posting dopey stories about baby pictures — and tormenting Conservative black men who run for President — Herman Cain can win this election, if racist remnants of the Trent Lott era of the Republican, like the woman linked above, would just leave him alone. It does seem to be their M.O. as of late; discredit the token Negro, so that they can protect the ivory-white tower of Republicanism that they have been occupying for so very long.
My question is this, to all two of you, that might actually read this posting; if the Republican Party is truly the Party of Lincoln; is it not time that we, as white Conservatives, have stopped trying to prevent blacks, who might actually be able to represent that Party the way it is supposed to be represented — from actually running for office and winning? Case in point: Allen Keyes.
Having said that, here is nice video made by a new group called Americans for Herman Cain:
Therefore, please, Republicans, do the right thing here, support a man, who loves his Country and wants to make it a better place for you and me — and our Children and their Children. Donate to Herman Cain.
Corrected some grammar errors in the original posting — what I get for typing so fast. 😀

Savory, Scrumptious (and Safe) Spinach (page 2 of 2)
by Suzanne DeJohn
Grow Your Own
So, if you want to eat fresh spinach you may want to grow your own or purchase it from a local farm. Of course, few of us have the time, space, and skills to grow all of our own food. But some foods, such as lettuce, spinach, and other greens, are particularly easy to grow.
Spinach is a cool-season crop that does best when days are less than 14 hours long and temperatures don't exceed 80 degrees F. The seeds will germinate and grow at temperatures down to the 40s. Sow some seed now and you should begin harvesting in about six weeks. Sow a row weekly for the next month or so, be prepared to cover the plants during hard freezes, and you may be able to harvest right up to the holidays.
If You Can't Grow It, Buy Local
Your local farmer's markets should be brimming with spinach and other cool-season greens. Fresh, vitamin-rich, "safe" spinach. However, buying local isn't just good for your health. It's also good for the health of your community. Local farmers spend their money locally and support local organizations, and their farms provide much-needed relief from urban sprawl. At the farmer's market, you can meet the people (or person!) that sowed, weeded, and harvested the food you are buying. Their fruits and vegetables are the next best thing to stepping outside and harvesting your own.

GTA Vice City
PCJ Playground is activated by entering a parked PCJ 600 in Washington Beach, north of the VCPD headquarters. The objective of the mission is to follow a path made by 24 checkpoints within two minutes. The countdown timer starts when the first checkpoint is collected. Unique Stunt Jumps are disabled during this mission. A couple of obstacles appear, including a couple of Yankee trucks scripted to cross the path of the checkpoints. The reward for completing this is $1000 and a step closer to 100% completion. Completing the mission after the first time requires the player to beat his/her own time.

Medal, Commemorative, Apollo 11, Vienna Mint
This Apollo 11 commemorative medal was struck by the Vienna Mint in Austria. Apollo 11 launched on July 16, 1969, and returned to Earth eight days later. It was the fifth human spaceflight in the program and the first to land humans on the Moon. Over 500 million people around the world watched Neil Armstrong's televised image and heard his voice as he took his historic first step on the Moon on July 20. Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin, Jr. were the other two astronauts.
Space medal collector Thomas Becker donated this medal to the National Collection in 1972.

EUGENE, Ore. - Tommy Thorpe held No. 2 Vanderbilt to two runs over six innings but it wasn't enough as No. 15 Oregon dropped a 4-2 decision at PK Park on Saturday.
Thorpe (2-2) gave up single runs in the second and third, while striking out five. The run in the second inning came after Thorpe retired the leadoff hitter. Mike Yastrzemski started the rally with a single to left field and advanced to second when left fielder Brett Thomas misplayed the ball. Vince Conde picked up the RBI with a double into the left field corner scoring Yastrzemski to give VU a 1-0 lead.
Tony Kemp continued to haunt Oregon in game two of the series. A day after driving in two and scoring another run, the Vanderbilt leadoff hitter manufactured another Commodore run in the third. Kemp singled to lead off the inning, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, and moved to third on a ground ball to the second baseman before scoring on a wild pitch that barely got away from Ducks' catcher Shaun Chase.
Oregon (10-5) cut the lead in half with a run in the sixth. Ryon Healy reached second on a throwing error by Vanderbilt shortstop Tyler Campbell, scoring later in the inning on a ground out by Steven Packard.
Vanderbilt (15-1) pushed the lead to 4-1 with a run in the seventh and another run in the eighth. Brando Tessar walked Connor Harrell with the bases loaded in the seventh to make it a two-run game, and Kemp drove in a run with an RBI double in the eighth.
The Ducks got within two in the bottom of the eighth on a Connor Hofmann two-out double down the left-field line to score Ryan Hambright. J.J. Altobelli had a chance to tie it but struck out looking with Tyler Baumgartner on third and Hofmann on second to end the inning.
Oregon had plenty of opportunities despite finishing with only five hits. The Ducks stranded 12 runners on base, including eight in scoring position.
In addition to leaving runners on second and third in the eighth, Oregon left the bases loaded in the seventh when Healy struck out to end the inning.
Tyler Beede (4-0) picked up the win for Vanderbilt allowing just one earned run on two hits in 6.2 innings. He struck out seven, but walked six. Kemp went 3-for-4 with a RBI and a run scored for the Commodores. In the first two games of the series, Kemp is 5-for-8 with three RBI and two runs scored, accounting for five of Vandy's eight runs.
The Ducks and Commodores wrap up the three-game series Sunday at 12 p.m.

PCC in the News
News: Badminton's Ortiz Survives 2012 State Final Rematch, Advances To Semis Saturday
Though there were 35 participants on day one of the CCCAA Women's Badminton State Championships on Friday, all eyes were focused on two in a marquee singles quarterfinal matchup in Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium. Defending state champion Angie Ortiz of Pasadena City College faced off against rival Evonne Zheng of City College of San Francisco with spectators crowded around the court and watching in silence during rallies and exploding with applause after points.
The nail-biter was a rematch of last year's state final.
The sets were close, but Ortiz was able to hold on and defeat Zheng, 23-21, 21-19 for a chance to defend her title on Saturday in the semifinals. Ortiz also avenged a three-set loss to Zheng in an early season non-conference match.
"I was nervous at first," Ortiz said. "It was nerve-racking especially since I played her last year, but I just had to settle down and play along."
In the first set, Ortiz was humming along nicely with a 9-2 lead when Zheng began to pick up the pace and tied it at 15. After that, there were six ties before Ortiz was able to get the better of Zheng.
The second set wasn't as close but was still a fierce competition with Zheng scoring the first point but unable to keep the lead for longer than the first rally. Zheng never trailed by more than six points and gained some ground near the end of the set, but ultimately Ortiz put a stop to it to defeat her again by a close two-point margin.
Last year in the state final, it took three sets for Ortiz to defeat Zheng but she did so with a greater margin by scores of 18-21, 21-12, 21-12.
In Ortiz's first match on Friday, she faced Christina Ja of De Anza and won the first set 21-16. In the second set, Ortiz was down 9-11 at one point but staged a comeback with a 12-0 run to win, 21-11.
Four other Lancers participated in the tournament but they were all eliminated on Friday.
Freshmen Shaghig Avedisian and Alejandra Palacios paired up to defeat Linda Danh and Vivian Nguyen of Mission College, 21-19, 21-18, but later lost to Thao Nguyen and Darby Duprat of San Diego City in three sets by scores of 16-21 21-17, 21-11.
Sophomore Alyssa Boyt lost to Nancy Mei of CCSF in their first match of the day, 21-8, 21-17, then lost in the consolation bracket while Avedisian lost her first match as well, 21-5, 21-10 to Emily Ong from San Diego Mesa College. Avedisian later was eliminated in the consolation round against South Coast Conference rival Cherry Lai from East Los Angeles College, 21-14, 21-19.
Now Pasadena's last chance is with Ortiz. "I'm worried about [De Anza's] Pinky Li," she said about her potential finals opponent. "I haven't been able to beat her. She's able to read my moves and hit the shuttle in the opposite direction, so I have to be patient."
Before Ortiz takes on Li though, she must first get past Anna Nguyen of Skyline College in the semifinals when the tournament continues at 12 noon on Saturday. If Ortiz wins, she would play the winner of the match between De Anza's pair of Li and Katherine Ja at 1:30 p.m.

Wilmington woman shoots at man
Published: Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 26, 2013 at 11:39 a.m.
A Wilmington woman shot at a man attempting to get into her home early Friday.
According to Cpl. Kevin Smith of the Wilmington Police Department, the woman was home alone about 2:39 a.m. when a man attempted to break into her apartment in the 400 block of Racine Drive.
"The female victim warned the suspect to go away, but he refused and continued to attempt to break down her door," Smith said.
The man then tried to get into another apartment before returning to the first door at which point, the unnamed woman fired a shot "in the general area of the of the suspect in an effort to scare him away."
Smith said the invader was undeterred and was still attempting to gain entry when officers arrived on scene.
Mattingly David Packman, 19, was arrested on charges of misdemeanor breaking and entering. Smith said Packman appeared to be intoxicated.
Packman posted a $250 and was released Friday at 7:30 a.m. No charges will be filed against the woman, Smith said.

ZF-5990: getFileName returns wrong file name (for form with 2 elements: file and file_two)
I added two times a Zend_Form_Element_File, one with the name 'file', the other with the name 'file_two'. When asking the Zend_Transfer_Adapter for getFileName('file'), I get an array with both elements (fair enough; though I still find this weird). However, when asking for getFileName(), it returns the following:
array (
'file_two' => 'D:\\tmp\\php\\uploads\\size-256.txt',
'file' => 'Array\\size-1024.txt',
("D:\tmp\php\uploads\" being my upload_tmp_dir).
Problem is, of course, the second element, which has 'Array' instead of the directory. This is because when asking for getDestination($file) (which getFileName does), it returns an array with both elements:
array (
'file_two' => 'D:\\tmp\\php\\uploads',
'file' => 'D:\\tmp\\php\\uploads',
I've tested with 1.7.6 as well as the SVN version from http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/… (revision 142740).
You can, of course, make the name yourself with getFileInfo(), concatenating the destination, a DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR and the name. However, from what I see, that file doesn't exist either.
The reason is that "_" is used as seperator for SubForms... Therefor it looks internally which other file elements are also within the "file" SubForm "file_1", "file_2" and so on... and returns them all.
Simply use another seperator because "_" is also used overall the complete framework as directory seperator, and within several other places.
Isn't the underscore like the most used separator for form element names? Mostly because those names match columns in a database somewhere? Maybe it's an option to make the separator configurable?
And regardless of what's behind it, shouldn't getFileName() return proper results, even if it means returning files from subforms? From what I gather, the Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract deals with all uploaded files anyhow.
I agree with Johan, this should be resolved, one way or another.
Please dont discuss here useless things. :-) If I would not have seen this as issue I would already have closed it. I just wanted to give a quick solution as we can only fix this for the next release which is earliest in 6 weeks.
I've tinkered around with your example, couldn't (at first) find the problem. However; if you change the order of the elements:
The bug surfaces, using either Zend 1.7.6 or revision 14274.
Purely cosmetics; used the ``` tag to display the results better.
"Purely cosmetics;" -> I meant I update the issue summary, it looked weird without the code tags.
Fixed with r14287.

Last year my Aunt Judy gave me a blouse for Christmas. Her size, not mine. Orange. (I look terrible in orange.) In a plain white box. The problem was the little card that fell out from beneath the tissue: Happy Birthday, Judy. Talk about your awkward moments. "Busted," Aunt Judy said.
I, too, have a regift closet. It's where I stash those strange candlesticks, questionable house slippers and anything rose scented. Half my holiday shopping is already complete! But here's where I pride myself: I strain to match my castoffs with their recipients. You don't entertain? No seashell napkin rings for you. Your name begins with a K? Forget the monogrammed hand towels. I'll save them for a Lisa, Lana or Lenore.
OK, there was the time I regifted a waffle maker to Bonnie at her baby shower, forgetting I'd gotten it from Charlotte, who also attended. Whoops. (Tip: Keep a list of who gave you what; say things like, "I loved mine so much, I knew Bonnie would want one, too.") And when cousin Denise decided to return the striped wool scarf because she didn't need another (neither did I), I mumbled something about a stolen wallet and lost receipts. But except for those mishaps, I don't consider myself a regifter. I'm an environmentalist. I recycle. With concern and loving thought. And as soon as I remove a Happy Birthday, Linda card, I hope Aunt Judy enjoys those rose-scented soaps she's getting for Christmas.

Converse forged its place in the world of sportswear over 100 years ago and has gone on to become an iconic brand. Originally an American rubber company making sneakers and boots, when Converse began producing basketball shoes, their fate as an innovative athletic shoe brand was sealed. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker became the definitive court sneaker, reinventing the game. Converse then branched out to create footwear for other sports from tennis to turf and track sports. Silhouettes like the Star Player, the Pro Leather and the Weapon were hugely popular with athletes at first, but soon started to show up on the streets, in rock clubs and on the feet of rappers, rebels, icons and originals alike. What was initially a sportswear brand morphed into something else altogether. Today Converse trainers aren't confined to one style or definition – if you wear Converse footwear you tread your own path with individual style and identity.

Photojournalist and Translator Killed in Eastern Ukraine; 1 Photographer Injured in Mortar Attack
Italian photojournalist Andrea Rocchelli, and his Russian interpreter, Andrei Mironov, were killed May 25 by mortar fire near Slavyansk in the Eastern Ukraine, the Italian foreign ministry reported.
They had been covering fighting between pro-Russian rebels and government forces in the region. William Roguelon, a French photojournalist who was traveling with Rocchelli and Mironov, told news organizations that they came under mortar fire and had taken shelter in a ditch when they were hit. Roguelon is now recovering from injuries sustained in the attack.
Rocchelli, 30, had previously covered stories in the Caucuses, Afghanistan, India, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, the NPPA reports. This year, he covered the protests in Kiev's Maidan Square. In 2008, Rochelli cofounded the photo collective Cesura. He is survived by his girlfriend and their son, age 3.
Mironov, 60, was a human rights activist who had been imprisoned as a dissident during the Soviet regime.

Reviews for Chocolate & Peanut Butter Mousse Cheesecake
"I made this for a Christmas celebration. It is a bit time consuming to make, but it is delicious! It is very rich, so cut small pieces. Almost better than a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup!"
"This was stupid amazing!! A friend had made this recipe for my husband and he loved it, so I thought I'd give it a try for his bday. There were a lot of steps to it, but so worth it. I let a coworker try it and her response was, "I'd like to swim in it"! Haha Anyway, I did have a few revisions. First, I used shortbread cookies instead of chocolate wafers. I used the same amount as it calls for in the recipe. Second, I used semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet and for both chocolate it called for, I just used chocolate chips. Worked like a charm! I will absolutely be making this again!"
"I made this for a Booster Club dessert silent auction at the annual crab feed and it was a hit!$$$$$"
"This tasted pretty good but, I wouldn't take it to a potluck or work to impress anyone. My crust was to thick with 1-1/2 cups and much of it stayed in the pan when serving. My peanut butter layer was way thin and my chocolate layer didn't set. Part of that peanut butter layer was my issue with the way the recipe was written. I had to keep rereading and cross checking and still I made the mistake of using 1/3 cup of confection sugar instead of the 1-1/4 cups confection sugar as my eyes say the 1/3 cup sugar so I only had 1/3 cup confection sugar int he peanut butter layer. My whipped cream got very stiff and I don't know how I could have added more confection sugar anyway. I did find this recipe to be very costly with all the ingredients. My whip cream ran over 5.00 my chocolates over 5.00 as well. It also take a lot of bowls and pans so be ready to wash in between layers or have a large collection of cookware. It was rich and taste just not pretty."
"I followed this recipe exactly and the final product left me wondering how in the world it ever won any contest and how it received the reviews that it did. This tastes like a sickly-sweet puddle of lard! I have over 60 years baking experience, write a food column and cater. I do admit the recipe has possibilities if it were completely rewritten. I'll work on it and report back."

ZF-2255: Locale is over written with Automatic source detection
When we use Automatic source detection we are loosing the value of $locale set in the constructor. This appends because the same $locale variable is reuse to add the translation file with ::addTranslation().
So at the end of the directory scanning when the locale is set, $locale have the value of the last added file :
if ((array_key_exists($locale, $this->_translate)) and (count($this->_translate[$locale]) > 0)) {
When you are using "automatic detection", any set locale is useless because the automatic detection will overwrite it.
Zend_Locale will in this case automatically search for the right locale. This is forced within the setLocale() method of the translation instance.
Oh, In fact I mean automatic detection of the source files not the locale :)
Fixed with SVN-7143

Bay Medical staff get the chance to show off the hospitals trauma center wednesday.
Earlier this week the Florida health department approved the hospital as a level two trauma center that will cover Bay, Gulf, Washington and Holmes counties.
That means the hospital can now handle severe injuries such as gun shot wounds, ejection from a vehicle, multiple fractures, spinal cord injuries and falls
The trauma medical director, Dr. Glenn Summers says "It's a big step for us.. It shows that we met the standards that the state has created to in order to be a trauma center... It's a very, very, long process, a very exacting process."
For the hospital to quality as a trauma center, trauma surgeons, neurosurgeons, and multiple surgical and non-surgical specialists have to be available within 30 minutes or less, 24 hours a day.
The hospital also has to have the right equipment in place and the facilities needed for immediate treatment on through rehab.
Vice President of Professional Lancery services Rick Smith says "Trauma centers are proven to have much better outcomes because you focus on the details quite honestly."
"We look at turn around times for our diagnostics. We've looked at transport times for our patients and those are things that typically can get missed in a regular e.r."
Dr. Summers says the qualification included thousands of hours of training for the staff and medical staff that that will provide better outcomes for patients.
"We have the facilities in place the personnel in place, the training in place to take care of you if you get hurt.. we are the go to place in terms of taking care of the patients."
Bay Medical is the only trauma center between Pensacola and Tallahassee in
Northwest Florida and is one of 28 in the entire state.

Three Beach Towns in Cabo Corrientes
Published Feb 1, 2010 - (Updated Aug 30, 2013)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter-Spring 2010
Long unreachable by land due to unpredictable dirt roads, particularly during summer's rainy months, the towns of Villa del Mar, Tehuamixtle and Mayto in the municipality of Cabo Corrientes, south of Puerto Vallarta, have been popular among beach and sun worshippers and camping enthusiasts due to their rustic appeal. But things are changing rapidly. Thanks to a number of new roads presently under construction, the town of El Tuito is quickly becoming an important hub for these and other destinations within the municipality, increasingly connecting visitors with this formerly inaccessible region.
In the previous issue of Vallarta Lifestyles, we introduced you to Puerto Vallarta's South Shore and the easily accessible town of El Tuito via Carr. 200 Sur, now billed as Puerto Vallarta's "Palms to Pines Highway." And although an SUV is ideal, just about any vehicle in good condition can get you to these towns from El Tuito in just about an hour.
All three towns are less than 10 minutes by car from one another and so small they can barely be referred to as such. And yet, when it comes to enjoying an interesting getaway, their proximity to one another and their unique features are absolutely complementary. Nature lovers will particularly enjoy Mayto, which is also the first town you encounter as you drive west from El Tuito. The town itself is not on the ocean per se, but just before it. As you reach the ocean, you encounter a long, undeveloped stretch of beach you can walk northbound seemingly endlessly. The state university maintains a marine turtle research and preservation camp that welcomes Puerto Vallarta high school students, who spend weekends on location involved in the rewarding mission of safely returning marine turtles to the sea once they hatch, an annual ritual that can be enjoyed throughout the region. The camp also welcomes tourists and visitors, who can learn first hand about these and other fascinating creatures. South of the camp, within walking distance, two hotels, Mayto and El Rinconcito, offer comfortable accommodations right on the ocean. Farther south, Playa del Amor, or Love Beach, is a small and secluded beach (hence the name) where spotting visitors enjoying the sun and sand au naturel is not at all unusual.
Tehuamixtle is renowned for its fresh ocean catch, which can be savored at a couple of local restaurants. Admittedly, there isn't much to do in Tehua, as it's often called, other than eating and relaxing, but it's hard to find fresher seafood elsewhere. An unusual donation of a life-sized acrylic shark from the government of Puerto Vallarta adds an unexpected yet amusing level of kitsch to the tiny cove.
Just as the beach extends endlessly to the north in Mayto, in Villa del Mar you will encounter a similar southbound stretch, this one enhanced by an equally endless estuary, where the waters of a nearby river meet the ocean. From the privileged cliff-top location of El Cielito, a rustic yet comfortable hotel in Villa del Mar, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the beach and estuary to the south, as well as Tehua to the north.
The good thing is, you can take in the entire getaway as a daytrip. However, upon arrival, you will find yourself wanting to spend the night. Therefore, we offer the following recommendations:
There are several options for every budget. In Mayto, hotels Mayto and El Rinconcito (322-105-7024) are located right on the beach, next to each other. The more basic Rinconcito is nearest to Playa del Amor. Hotel Mayto features air-conditioned rooms, cable TV, wireless Internet access, beautiful gardens and a large swimming pool that features a wading area, perfect for children. Finally, Cabañas El Cielito in Villa del Mar sits on top of a small cliff, with a beautiful, wide beach directly below it. The cabañas are very basic, but the privileged ocean views, along with a shared infinity pool and personalized attention, make this the most romantic choice of the three.
Hotel Mayto and Cabañas El Cielito feature their own restaurants, with a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, including fresh catch of the day. Even if you are not a hotel guest, both venues welcome visitors. In Tehuamixtle, we very much enjoyed Liz Adriana Restaurant, right on the beach, specializing in seafood.
El Tuito to Mayto: The Visual Cues
You will not find many signs along the way as you head to Mayto, and that is part of the excitement! But just to make sure you feel reassured, here are some visual cues you will encounter along the way (see image gallery below).
The new PEMEX gas station at El Tuito may very well be open by the time you read this. Regardless, it is a good idea to leave Puerto Vallarta with a full tank of gas, which should be more than sufficient for the round trip.
Also, while the local beaches are truly spectacular, only the most experienced swimmers and surfers should attempt swimming in Mayto or Villa del Mar. In Tehua, a small cove makes swimming, kayaking and snorkeling possible.
Many thanks to Brad Wollman for helping us coordinate this adventure!

I have looked at and read review for Studio One in the past. My impression is it is good but its designed as a basic no-frills DAW. That is, it will record, play and edit but it lacks plug-in extras,VSTs and virtual synths. This means you have to go out and buy anything for it.
From what I read the idea of doing this was to provide a DAW that was very high in performance and users would add what they wanted. Is this the kind of experience you've had with it?
BTW, I use SONAR X1 Producer which comes with many plug-ins and virtual instruments. I've not had any problems with it.
DAW performance is directly related to the computer it is installed on. Any modern PC with a good amount of memory and a clean OS install will work. By clean OS install I mean a retail Windows 7 64-bit OS. NOT an OEM OS install - eg. the OS that exists when you buy a new Dell or HP computer.
Also, dedicating the PC to being only DAW is crucial. If you dual-purpose a computer (eg. surf the web, check email, play games, etc) then you're going to run into issues. I don't care what anyone says otherwise - its a pipedream. The purpose of a DAW is to be creative, if you are spending a 1/2 hour each time "optimizing" a dual-purpose system before recording thats a 1/2 hour of wasted time.
Below is one article I was reading about it. I'll correct myself in saying it's included plug-ins are sparse. There are some other points the reviewer mentions in the last section in the below article.
Overall I think I'd try it if I were just starting out. Especially when the hardware is included. The hardware aspect combined with the software is what I'd really be interested in.
Darren, when you decide to upgrade check out Apple's Logic Pro 9! I use it and it's a complicated but very powerful piece of software that pretty much comes with anything and everything you will need to record! i know that is a bold statement, but I have had it a year now and it hasn't let me down yet! Every time I think I need a preset or plug in I find a Logic version was included! I started a group here in the AG Community for Logic Pro/Garageband users in case you would like to check it out! Thanks, Edward
There are a lot of happy Studio One users out there. It's still a very new DAW and has gathered quite a following already. Unlike Propellerhead's Record, S1 is open. Full VST support and a customizable interface. The interface itself is much cleaner than many DAWs right off the bat. It's particularly designed to work with their Studio Live interfaces, with full midi control and DSP features.
All due respect to the guys at SOS, they tend to hype up the highest bidder. Just read some of the reviews on MXL or Behr gear. I realize they need to make money but a review should be unbiased and I don't think that is always the case with them.
Studio One is more than capable of producing a quality recording. I have artist but never bothered to upgrade to Pro. I bought into ProTools a while ago but I've also used Cubase, (il)Logic and currently use Acid, Samplitude and Sonar Producer 8.5. All registered software.
In the end it's not the DAW that makes the music, it's the musician and the engineer. Good tools are great but a good musician will make good music with what he has.
For straight audio, I think it's great. I don't do a lot of midi so no issue there. I haven't tried a lot of the functions either but from what I've tried it's very functional. Even the limited version. However, I tend to stick where my investments lie. Unfortunately that binds me to ProTools to an extent.
I've been using Cubase as my DAW for years and have never felt there was a reason to consider another. Workflow brought about by familiarity is a big disincentive to consider changing. I use UAD plugins for the little EQ and compression needed.
Mind you, I only record acoustic and vocal and don't use virtual instruments, so I guess most DAWs would suit me fine.

Living Your Best: Quality of Life
Young women facing the challenges of breast cancer deserve to live full and meaningful lives. Every day, YSC works to make those lives even better.
You also have many options, personally, for making your life the best it can be. Regardless of your stage, the treatment you endured or where you are in your breast cancer experience, you can and should strive for your highest quality of life. That will mean something different to every young woman. We all experience breast cancer differently and value different things in our lives. Circumstances change, too, and achieving your best life might mean different things on different days and call for different approaches.
We talk about quality of life all over our website—here, you'll find in-depth information and tips on many of the physical and psychological challenges young women with breast cancer face. For almost every topic, you'll find an enlightening audio file, printed brochure and additional resources packed with useful information.
Body Image
Females, society, sexiness, womanhood and body image…it's already complex enough. A breast cancer diagnosis adds even greater complexities that others often can't imagine. You may have strong emotions about your body right now, but you can also feel hopeful about adapting to the changes brought on by breast cancer.
As women, we learn early in life that breasts matter. Breast cancer and treatment bring changes to the body, especially these parts we've learned to value so highly. Some body changes last just a short time, and others last forever. With the loss of a breast or breasts, scars, hair shedding, complexion changes and weight gain or loss many young women feel ashamed or afraid that others will reject or feel sorry for them.
Even after the signs and symptoms of treatment fade, you might feel troubled by your body's changes. Your loved ones might also have some difficulty dealing with changes in the way you look. This can be hard on you, too. Feelings of anger and grief are natural. Feeling bad about your body can also lower your sex drive. And a loss of or reduction in your sex life can make you feel even worse about yourself. Learn more about facing this challenge in our section on sexuality and intimacy.
Don't ignore what you feel—it can help to express your emotions. At YSC, we offer opportunities for you to with other young women who have struggled with many of the feelings you might be experiencing. They can offer advice, understanding and support—even a wry joke or two to help you smile as you face your new challenges. Inform yourself with advice and perspective from our audio files and other resources.
These tips can help you cope:
- Try to focus on the ways that coping with cancer has made you stronger, wiser and more realistic. There is so much that makes you valuable.
- Mourn your losses. They are real, and you have a right to grieve.
- Look for new ways to feel good inside and out. A new outfit, makeup or spa treatment may give you a lift—and remind everyone how good you look.
- If you find that your skin has changed from radiation, ask your doctor about ways you can care for it.
- Try to recognize that you are more than your cancer. Know that you have worth - no matter how you look or what happens to you in life.
- Remember to be kind to yourself – today and every day.
Breast cancer can rob you of your energy for a number of reasons.
Extreme stress, depression, lack of rest, medications, and various chemical, physical and behavioral factors can all cause fatigue. It can also come from surgery, hormone therapy, nutritional deficiencies, sleep disturbances, hot flashes and weight gain.
Whatever stage of your breast cancer experience you are in, you should never ignore feelings of extreme fatigue. Tell your doctor or counseling professional.
For more information and a wealth of resources, visit Cancer.gov. Some women consider complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to combat fatigue. If interested, make sure you do your research, work with your healthcare team and find reputable providers to determine what's best for you.
Breast cancer treatment can have significant effects on fertility—an issue of special importance to many young women.
Chemo Brain
Young women facing breast cancer know what we're talking about: chemo brain. The mental cloudiness experienced before, during and after chemotherapy has been a source of worry, jokes and annoyance for most of us. Chemo brain, the mental and cognitive difficulties associated with treatment, is one of the most frustrating side effects of chemotherapy.
Women attribute symptoms like trouble concentrating or multitasking and forgetting details or common words to chemo brain. Some have a subtle, short-lasting experience. For others, it happens immediately and can last a long time. Many fall somewhere in between. Whatever your experience, the tips below can help you cope and continue living well after treatment. As always, talk to your healthcare provider for more information and resources.
- Use a daily planner or PDA to keep track of your daily schedule and personal contacts. Keeping "to-do" lists can also help you stay organized and provide reminders.
- Regular physical activity not only makes your body stronger, it also decreases tiredness, improves your mood and can make you feel more alert.
- Like a physical work out, a positive mental workout like word or math puzzles or a class may help to exercise your brain and keep you more alert.
- Get plenty of rest and sleep.
- Maintain a healthy diet, including plenty of vegetables and water-based fluids
- Make an effort to focus though it may be difficult. Try to avoid distractions during tasks.
- Strive to keep your home and workspaces organized so you can find things in familiar places.
- Identify the times, situations and places where you have problems. Journaling or keeping a written record of your memory problems might help you figure out strategies of your own that work even better for you.
Coping with fear of recurrence
Surviving cancer rarely means a young woman stops worrying—it's normal to have thoughts and concerns about recurrence (the return of your cancer). But remember--you were strong enough to tackle your cancer, and you're strong enough to manage your worries.
Fears of recurrence often peak right after treatment, but they can happen anytime. When follow-up appointments approach, or during any stressful time, you might get anxious again. The fear can range from occasional, yet concerning thoughts to a fear so strong it can affect eating, sleeping and even the joy of living. You can strive to take control of your thought-life, however, and learn effective triggers and coping strategies to keep these fears from controlling you:
- Get and stay informed – Learn about your cancer and risk of recurrence, stick to your follow-up-care plan and take care of yourself.
- Remove any blame – Some women blame themselves for their diagnoses, thinking it happened because of something they did or didn't do. Never blame yourself. Cancer does not choose to punish people. It does not discriminate, and it can happen to anyone
- Exercise — It can improve your mood. Talk to your doctor and begin an appropriate exercise program. Staying active also gives you other things to focus on—like feeling healthy, confident and strong.
- Find ways to relax. You have countless options—too many to list here—but you can start with our audiocasts on yoga, complementary approaches and stress management.
- Acknowledge your feelings and find ways to express them. Talk to family, friends or other young women diagnosed with breast cancer. Journal, craft or find other creative ways to give voice to your emotions.
- Be authentic – You don't always have to smile. Even if some people want you to always stay positive, that's not realistic. You've been through more than most young women and you're entitled to a "bad day" now and then.
- Focus on the positive – Though you have every right to feel bad, still find ways to stay hopeful. Use your energy to stay as healthy as possible.
- Control what you can – Empower yourself by taking an active role in your healthcare team. Strive to manage the important matters in your life and find resources throughout this site to get the help and support you need.
Facing Pain
People with cancer often face the extra challenge of pain—another test, but an opportunity to use our coping skills, support network and understanding to become stronger. First, please remember: Not every persistent pain means a cancer recurrence. Pain can result from a number of causes—including scarring, treatment side effects, other health issues and physical exertion.
If you're facing pain during or after surgery or treatment, you don't have to "tough it out." Talk to your healthcare team and work with them to find a cause and a solution. The tips below can help you cope and take on this challenge, too, with confidence:
- Talk with your doctor – make sure your team knows how much it hurts. Use the 0-to-10 pain scale, where zero means no pain and 10 means the worst pain. Tell your doctor exactly where it hurts, when it hurts and what the pain feels like. Also share any medications taken or other remedies you've tried. If you use a pain diary (a log of your pain occurrences), bring it with you. These journals can be powerful tools for you and your doctor to combat pain. For help in starting one, check out our Newly Diagnosed Treatment Navigator.
- Ask to meet with a pain or palliative care specialist. They can include oncologists, anesthesiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses or pharmacists and can offer you expert advice on controlling your pain.
- Take advantage of all your options and explore various approaches – prescription medication, acupuncture, meditation, relaxation techniques, physical therapy and many others.
- If you have insurance, make sure you know what your company will and will not cover.
The Blow Below the Belt – Changes in Sexual Desire and Intimate Experiences
Breast cancer can affect the most intimate parts of our lives—the diagnosis and treatment can unfortunately reduce a young woman's libido, often for a long time. Emotional issues and physical changes can follow treatment, and these can also affect young women's sex lives.
Physical changes can come from surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Women diagnosed with breast cancer may face anxiety, body image and stress. Young women may also face changes for which none of us are really prepared: vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, loss of sensation, symptoms of menopause and worry about sexual encounters. These issues can make young women think of sex as something to avoid.
You probably feel some real emotional and psychological stress about these difficulties. Seek resources and advice, and take some steps to manage these challenges and adapt to your life after treatment. Your doctor, nurse, social worker or other healthcare professional may be able to give you some assistance. Begin the conversation. Understand that many sexual problems don't just go away, and some are easier to solve than others. But you have access to many informational and educational resources to help you cope and be your best.
Remember to:
- Communicate openly with your partner—without blame. Tell your partner what's going on and how you feel. Ask your partner how he or she feels. Avoid judging yourself or your partner. Listen attentively and ask that your partner do the same. Be careful to avoid misinterpretation on either side—it can be common when discussing intimacy
- Intimacy means more than sexual intercourse. Even if you don't enjoy sex like you used to, you can explore self-satisfaction, kissing, hugging and just being close. Strive to stay connected.
- Turn your thoughts toward the positive. Discover new ways to feel sexy and new ways to be intimate. Avoid negative thinking—it will only make intimacy more challenging.
- Be open to change.
A Note about birth control: If you are pre- or peri-menopausal, talk with your doctor about your type of breast cancer and the best birth control method for you.
For many young women affected by breast cancer, body image and sexual issues can make dating more challenging. As you struggle to accept the changes yourself, you may also worry about how someone else will react to physical things like mastectomy scars or a reconstructed breast. You might find it awkward to discuss your challenges—living with a life-threatening disease, sexual problems, the need for extra lubricants or your loss of fertility. This can make it even harder to have conversations and feel close with your new partners.
Like many young women, you may wonder how and when to tell a new person in your life about your cancer and body changes. Understandably, you have some fears of rejection—but don't let them keep you from finding the social relationships that will be meaningful in your life. Don't turn cancer into an excuse for not dating or trying to meet people. Like anyone, you won't have a perfect experience on every date, but you will always learn.
Find out what you can about this new relationship until you develop a feeling of trust and friendship—then you can talk about your cancer. Consider practicing what you will say to someone if you worry about how you will handle it. Think about how he or she might react, and prepare a response. Remember that we all face rejection—it often has little to do with your breast cancer. And if it does, that's not who you want to be with anyway.
Early Menopause
When breast cancer occurs at a young age, it brings on many unique challenges—including the possibility of early menopause. Treatments, specifically chemotherapy and hormone suppression, can make these features of middle age appear too soon.
You can find many resources and link to other young survivors on YSC's community boards to help you cope. Researchers also continue to look for new ways to manage these symptoms, so there are good reasons to hope for an even better future. Many young women have been down this road and have found ways to cope with early menopause—you can do it, too.
Talk to your oncologist or gynecologist about medicines, supplements or other methods to help you control your menopause symptoms. Make sure you speak to your healthcare team about possible effects on heart and bone health.
Symptoms of early menopause include:
- Hot flashes - Hot flashes are often worse at night and can affect sleep or cause mood changes. You can take some steps for relief, though.
- Irregular periods - One of the first signs of early menopause is a change in your periods. They may become less regular. They could be lighter. Some women have short times of heavy bleeding. Sometimes, they stop all of a sudden. Over time, some young women will get regular periods again, but others may not. Even though your doctor may have discussed early menopause with you, give yourself permission to mourn the loss of your fertility.
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort – Vaginal tissue may become drier and thinner. You may be more likely to get vaginal infections. Dryness can cause painful intercourse.
- Lack of interest in sex. Hormonal changes may make it hard for you to become sexually aroused.
- Fatigue and sleep problems. You may feel tired or have trouble getting to sleep, getting up early or getting back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
- Memory and other problems, such as depression, mood swings and irritability. Some of these, especially memory problems, may occur regardless of a cancer diagnosis as we grow older. Changes in your hormone levels can partly explain emotional changes.
- Other changes in your body. You may notice your waist gets bigger, less muscle and more fat around your body or thinning and loss of elasticity of your skin.
No young woman welcomes these symptoms, but luckily you can take some steps to manage them. Within this site many audio files are focused on managing treatment side effects and some are specific to early menapause. Rely on these helpful tips for relieving hot flashes:
- Keep a little notebook to log when they occur. This detective work can help you make changes to prevent or lessen your hot flashes. Some attribute an increase in flashes to caffeine, alcohol or spicy foods.
- Drink plenty of water and water-based fluids.
- Don't smoke.
- Exercise and practice proper nutrition to keep yourself at a healthy weight.
- Dress in layers you can easily take off and put on.
- Cotton sheets and PJs may make your nights a little cooler.
Nutrition and weight management
Some types of chemotherapy may leave women with challenging weight problems—they can cause survivors to gain weight in a particular way by losing muscle and gaining fat tissue. Unfortunately, this can make losing weight more difficult since many of the usual ways won't work. It's normal to feel some frustration—but be patient with yourself. You have the ability to control a lot of things and make some positive choices, like eating a healthy diet:
- Eat a plant-based diet and have at least 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables daily.
- Try to include beans in your diet, and eat whole grains several times daily.
- Choose foods low in fat and salt.
- Talk to your doctor about weight-bearing and strength building exercise
- Keep faith in yourself as you patiently strive to reach and stay at a healthy weight.
Some young women face a different challenge after their diagnosis – they have no desire to eat, and they lose weight. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about your appetite and weight challenges. Try eating several, smaller nutritional meals daily. Eat healthy
Take care of them bones
Cancer treatment can affect your bone health. Hormonal changes and menopause put some women at increased risk for losing bone tissue. You should be aware of a couple conditions: Osteopenia means you have less bone density or bone mass than normal. This can lead to osteoporosis, where the decrease in bone mass and density makes bones fragile and easier to break. Talk to your doctor about taking a bone-density test. You can find out your risk for bone conditions and take action to stay healthy.
Doctors may use a class of drugs called bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis. These drugs can also help with bone issues related to cancer. Doctors use them to treat hypocalcaemia (abnormally low calcium levels) and other, related cancer symptoms. They may also reduce metastasis to the bones and, when cancer has spread to the bones, they can prevent fractures, improve healing and reduce pain. Note, as with any drug, bisphosphonates have side effects. Talk with you healthcare team and ask questions to decide what's best for you and your bones.
Because of the serious affects cancer can have on the lymph system, some cancer survivors also face the challenges of lymphedema—the build-up of fluid in soft body tissues. This happens when the lymph system gets damaged or blocked, which often happens because of cancer and cancer treatment. Because of cancer, lymphatic system damages or blockage can occur due to infection, removal of lymph nodes, radiation to the affected area, or scar tissue from radiation therapy or surgery. For women with breast cancer lymphedema usually happens in the arm.
Lyphedema may develop within a few days or few years after breast cancer treatment. Some conditions increase your risk: slow healing of the skin after surgery; a tumor that blocks the lymph duct or lymph nodes or vessels in the neck, chest, underarm, pelvis, or abdomen; scar tissue in the lymph ducts under the collarbones caused by surgery or radiation therapy; and removal or radiation of lymph nodes in the underarm. The risk of lymphedema increases with the number of lymph nodes affected.
When surgery only removes the sentinel lymph node (the first lymph node to receive lymphatic drainage from a tumor), you have less risk of lymphedema.
Lymphedema can cause long-term physical, psychological, and social challenges—but you can also take some important steps to manage it and them. Inform yourself with the many audio files and printed resources on managing lymphedema, or take action with these tips:
- Talk to your healthcare team about your concerns and any symptoms you might have.
- Consider consulting a physical therapist who specializes in lyphemdema. This expert advice can help you deal confidently with your symptoms.
- Contact the National Lyphemdema Network for research updates and additional information that might tell you how to better manage or treat this condition.
Please note one misconception: Exercise does not increase the risk of lymphedema. In the past, doctors told women not to exercise the affected arm. Studies now show that slow, carefully controlled exercise is safe and may even help you prevent lymphedema. Studies show that, in breast-cancer survivors, upper-body exercise does not increase the risk of lymphedema.
Considering Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
Many cancer survivors turn to some additional treatment options to help make them feel even healthier as they cope with cancer and its symptoms. You might want to investigate these various complementary and alternative approaches. People use these many different methods to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
- "Complementary" usually means you use a treatment in addition to the ones your doctor prescribes.
- "Alternative" usually means you use it instead of treatments prescribed by a doctor.
- "Integrative medicine" combines conventional treatments with CAM treatments that are supported by evidence.
Common CAM therapies include imagery or relaxation, acupressure and massage, homeopathy, vitamins or herbal products, special diets, psychotherapy, prayer, yoga and acupuncture.
Inform yourself about your complementary and alternative options with the NCI's Thinking About Complementary & Alternative Medicine: A Guide for People With Cancer or visit www.annieappleseedproject.org. You can also find a wealth of information on our audio files.
If you are thinking about using any of these methods, discuss it with your doctor or nurse first. Some complementary and alternative therapies may interfere or be harmful when used with medicines normally prescribed by a doctor.
Finding Meaning
As a courageous young woman facing cancer, you not only have the ability to live a full life—you have the ability and right to live a life full of meaning. As you improve your quality of life, try to stay focused on things that matter to you and provide meaning. If you have hobbies, volunteer work, faith-based activities or a job you love, stay involved as much as you can. During treatment, work with your healthcare team to ensure your regimen makes room for the meaningful activities in your life.
Some survivors take great meaning from their religious and spiritual beliefs. But whether you consider yourself religious or not, you can find it very valuable to focus on what is meaningful in your life. You can find for yourself greater satisfaction with life, freedom from regret and a sense of inner peace.
People take many paths to reach what matters to them: meditation, silent observation, communing with nature, expressing yourself through creative pursuits, prayer, serving others or expressing your values by supporting a cause. Do what feels right and works for you, even if that's simply striving to live in the moment.
Building a Supportive Community
When you have the support of others who care about and understand you, it helps give you the strength to make your life as full as it can be. Build and search your support community to ensure you have the help you need to cope with your cancer. This community goes beyond your healthcare team and, more importantly, to close friends, family and a network of others who understand your experience.
At YSC, we welcome a community of young women who have faced the same challenges as you and are here to support you. Many women, especially young women, find valuable strength, support and friendships by connecting with others facing breast cancer.
Tap into YSC's network of support through our SYNC program. Search the site, call or email to learn more about the work and programs of YSC, our work in advocacy, research and the community at large.

Agriculture & Rural Development
As a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, and the Farm Commodities and Risk Management Subcommittee and the Livestock and Rural Development Subcommittee, I will fight each and every day for our region's agricultural community.
Putting middle class families first is my top priority, and that's why I will work with anyone, Democrat or Republican, if it is in the best interest of the people of our region.
Congressional Issues
Information and content related to Congress and the operations of the House of Representatives.
As the proud mother of three sons who were educated by our public schools, I know firsthand the importance of a high-quality education. I will work to make sure our schools are well-equipped, our students are well-prepared, and our teachers have the resources they need to educate all our children for the good-paying jobs of the 21st Century.
Energy and Environment
Affordable and reliable energy is an essential part of our economy and our quality of life. We must move towards energy independence and cleaner sources of energy, while promoting a comprehensive plan that keeps energy affordable for the middle class.
Fiscal Responsibility
The current budget deficit, created by generations of lawmakers in Washington, is a serious problem that did not get created overnight and will not get solved overnight either. But by working together, we can take commonsense steps that move our country in the right direction.
Government Accountability
Folks across Illinois have lost faith in government at all levels, and for good reason. Many in Washington continue to prioritize their political careers and special interest groups rather than their constituents back home. That's why I'm dedicated to traveling back, and spending time listening to the people across our region, as often as I can.
Health Care
Health care is a deeply personal issue to me. My sister-in-law, Barb, died several years ago without health insurance. Barb and her husband both worked full-time, but they couldn't afford health insurance and when she got sick, she couldn't afford the most effective cancer treatment she needed to survive.
Illinois & Local Issues
Learn more about how I'm working to help folks across our district and throughout Illinois.
Jobs, Economy & Small Business
We need to get America back to work. Too many families are still struggling today and enough is enough. For too long, lawmakers have been looking out for themselves instead of looking out for the middle class. I want to focus on job creation and economic growth, not on scoring political points by handing out special favors.
Medicare and Social Security
I will fight to protect and preserve Social Security and Medicare.
Protecting the Second Amendment
As someone who proudly grew up in a family of hunters, and as the wife of a Sheriff's Deputy and the mother of three sons who are avid sportsmen, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Alongside protecting the right to bear arms, I will also fight to ensure we have access to public lands for hunting, shooting, fishing and trapping.
Standing Up For Women
Advocating for women and families has been a continued focus throughout my life and career. I have always firmly believed that women should have equal opportunities and the ability to voice their opinions on community issues – whether the setting is in workplace, in the classroom or in the public sector.
Transportation & Infrastructure
Illinois' 17th Congressional District is a central hub for shipping goods and people over road, rail, water and through the air. The region is home to three international airports (Quad City International Airport, Peoria International Airport and Chicago Rockford International Airport), in addition to smaller regional airports.
Veterans & Armed Forces
In order to best secure our national interests and promote the safety and security of the American people, as well as our friends in the international community, it is vitally important that we ensure our armed forces remain the best-trained and best-equipped in the world. Likewise, veterans and service members have bravely served their country, at a real sacrifice to themselves and their families. They deserve to be provided with the best possible care and help as they return from battlefields overseas.

Comcast's feed was better than the one broadcast on Temple's YouTube channel.
The last thing Steve Addazio said a couple of days before walking out the door was that this off-season "would not be a box of chocolates" and "would be a rough deal" for the players and that "they would work harder than any team in the history of Temple University."
The last two weeks have more like a box of chocolates than a rough deal.
|Life is like a box of chocolates for BC fans now.
They have no idea of what kind of run play they are
going to get.
Yet he talked. He liked talking.
By now, though, we know that Addazio was mostly talk, little substance.
On this day two years ago, Daz said "make Temple a destination school" and "don't be passing through" yet he passed through quicker than any of his players and rented a home.
Yesterday was Matt Rhule's day and he was a little talk, but heavy on substance.
The new head football coach at Temple University did not drop any "box of chocolates" line on his first day, but you knew from listening to him that he didn't have to.
That box of chocolates is all eaten now and the Owls will get back to work, Rhule-style.
My guess if it ever snows again the players will be out there working out in it.
Rhule still owns the home he will move right back into soon.
'Twelve of those said Temple was their dream job and seven of them were interviewing for other jobs at the time and couldn't make it to our scheduled interview'
_Bill Bradshaw
Bradshaw then said Rhule "was an Acre of Diamond in our own backyard."
Good Russell Conwell stuff, but there was more.
Just as Al Golden did seven years ago, Rhule referenced Russell Conwell in his remarks.
As far as I know, Addazio still doesn't know who Russell Conwell is because I was not able to remember a single quote from Daz about the founder of Temple University and his unique story.
Rhule did not address who his assistants will be or what kind of offense he will be running. Hopefully, TEMPLE will go back on at least half the helmet because that kind of branding was important to Golden. We'll find out that nuts and bolts stuff soon enough. More importantly, he addressed larger issues like trust and commitment.
For a group of kids who have been abandoned twice in three years, that's what they needed to hear.
If the larger university community came away with a sense that this was a young man who said what he believed and believed what he said, the first day was a big success.
The empty box of chocolates has been shipped to Boston.

A (more) in depth view of why Pittsburgh is awesome
I basically find myself eating lunch quite a bit. Pretty much every time I eat lunch in a restaurant I find a beautiful bottle of Heinz Ketchup sitting on the table waiting for me. And almost every time I see one of those, I address the people sitting with me, "Do you know where this is made?' Most of the people who dine with me know the appropriate answer, "Pittsburgh." Damn right it is.
I realize this is probably annoying. But there is something comforting in driving (or flying) 3,000 miles away and being able to see a symbol of where you come from greeting you with a beautiful red smile. It's also great that Heinz Ketchup happens to be damn good.
I also realize the whole Pittsburgh pride thing I have going on is a little bit ridiculous at times, but I came across an article in the New York Times that sums up a lot of the reasons that Pittsburgh was chosen as the location for the G20 summit, and I was very interested in sharing this article with you all…
New York Times article on why Pittsburgh is awesome
There are many things about Pittsburgh, besides Heinz Ketchup & The sports teams, that are worth boasting about that I often don't talk about, but are summed up in that article quite well (and let me remind you that it is articulated in a way that I simply could not do).
So enjoy the article, especially if you are one of the unlucky ones who are forced to answer questions about Pittsburgh every time you sit down and eat with me.

And in the Hanging Gardens, by Conrad Aiken
td Whittle
Posted on January 24th, 2012
And in the hanging gardens there is rain
From midnight until one, striking the leaves
And bells of flowers, and stroking boles of planes,
And drawing slow arpeggios over pools,
And stretching strings of sound from eaves to ferns.
The princess reads. The knave of diamonds sleeps.
The king is drunk, and flings a golden goblet
Down from the turret window (curtained with rain)
Into the lilacs.
