The Seed Lady: A Profile of Anna Marie Carter
by Charlie Nardozzi
Anna Marie Carter
Something had to be done. After living through the Los Angeles riots after the Rodney King verdict in 1992, Anna Marie Carter was shocked at how dependent her community - Watts, California - was on outside help for basics such as food. All the food was imported into Watts from outside the city. During the riots stores were closed and people stayed indoors. For days the only food people had was what was left on their shelves. It was at that point that Anna Marie Carter decided to combine her love of cooking and food and her dedication to her community to create a better way of life in Watts.
In 1994 she completed a small business entrepreneurial course at the University of Southern California. As part of her course, after graduation Anna Marie was obligated to start a small business in her community. She began simply by selling organic seeds, seedlings, and produce in Watts. As her business quickly grew, she became known as the "Seed Lady of Watts."
Watts Garden Club
It wasn't just the produce that attracted people to Anna Marie. Her neighbors' (especially the kids) thirst for information was so great she ended up spending most of her time teaching about the benefits of growing your own fresh, organic produce. In 2001 she formed the Watts Garden Club to spread the word about organic gardening. The club consists of almost 200 volunteers that build gardens for others in Watts, teach about nutrition and gardening, and develop entrepreneurial, garden-related businesses for young people. These businesses sell garden products such as herbal soaps and lotions.
It's the young people that Anna Marie mostly wants to reach. "Watts has a cycle of welfare," she says. "Some families have been on the system for three or four generations. I want to teach the young people they can be self-sufficient and support themselves." All the money the kids make in the gardening business is put into a fund until they're 18. Then they will receive a cash grant to help them start their own business, go to school, or do whatever they need. "We don't accept any city, state, or federal monies. This project shows us we have everything we need right here in Watts," say Carter.
Watts CSA
To get more fresh, organic produce to more residents of Watts, Anna Marie has formed a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) with a Malibu organic farmer. Twice a week she brings fresh produce to the inner city. Not only do residents pay for the produce, but they also chip in a little extra to buy produce for shut-ins. There are many Watts residents that physically can't or don't feel safe leaving their homes. Bringing these shut-ins fresh food not only gives them something nutritious to eat, it also makes them feel more connected to the community.

Is there any reason why I would want to have
iptables -A INPUT -j REJECT
instead of
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
As a general rule, use REJECT when you want the other end to know the port is unreachable' use DROP for connections to hosts you don't want people to see.
Usually, all rules for connections inside your LAN should use REJECT. For the Internet, With the exception of ident on certain servers, connections from the Internet are usually DROPPED.
Using DROP makes the connection appear to be to an unoccupied IP address. Scanners may choose not to continue scanning addresses which appear unoccupied. Given that NAT can be used to redirect a connection on the firewall, the existence of a well known service does not necessarily indicate the existence of a server on an address.
Ident should be passed or rejected on any address providing SMTP service. However, use of Ident look-ups by SMTP serves has fallen out of use. There are chat protocols which also rely on a working ident service.
EDIT: When using DROP rules: - UDP packets will be dropped and the behavior will be the same as connecting to an unfirewalled port with no service. - TCP packets will return an ACK/RST which is the same response that an open port with no service on it will respond with. Some routers will respond with and ACK/RST on behalf of servers which are down.
When using REJECT rules an ICMP packet is sent indicating the port is unavailable.
The difference is that the REJECT target sends a reject response to the source, while the DROP target sends nothing.
This can be useful e.g. for the ident service. If you use REJECT then the clients doesn't need to wait for timeout.
More about this: http://www.linuxtopia.org/Linux_Firewall_iptables/x4550.html
Usually, you want to ignore probes from attackers to certain ports, by which I mean you do not want to send back 'connection refused'. 'Connection refused' means: 'there is a server here', and possibly gives away more information, whereas dropping a packet doesn't give away clues about software versions, possible vulnerabilities or even the fact that a server is listening at you IP.
The above is one of the main reasons to use DROP instead of REJECT.
I see lots of conflicting answers here and given this is the first article in Google with the right keywords; here is the correct explanation.
Even when the rule says "DROP" the system will still reply to the incoming packet with a TCP SYN/ACK as if it was open. To truly drop a packet, the system needs to reply with a TCP RST/ACK - for which there is SURPRISE! no firewall rule.
Your DROP rule will advertise your firewall and port-scanners will know that you are firewalling something and keep hammering you in the hopes of catching your firewall down. (This is now nmap can report "filtered" instead of "closed" for example.)
As such, the best firewalling setup is one where a dedicated device sits on the internet and only selected ports are forwarded.
If you really want to be nasty, you can TARPIT tcp connections, which sets the TCP Window to 0 so that no data can get transferred after the connection is opened, ignoring requests to close the connection, meaning the scanner has to wait for the connection timeout to occur.
But it's trivial for an attacker to detect this and make his timeout very short - so all things considered, you're probably best off just using REJECT - or putting a dedicated port forwarding device between you and the internet.
Or just running services on your internet-facing machines that do not require firewalling.

It will help people be aware and respect these great mammals. They let us share their home! YNP states "park is made for the people". I think it should say park is there for the animals.

14 - 15 December 2011 DRAFT OPINION of the
Committee of the Regions
_____________ Rapporteur: Ilmar Reepalu (SE/PES)
Member of Malm� Municipal Council
_____________ Reference document
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions Rio+20: Towards the green economy and better governance COM(2011) 363 final I. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS A. General remarks 1. welcomes the decision of the UN General Assembly to convene a United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development at the highest possible level in June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro (UNCSD or "Rio+20" Summit), with the objective of securing renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major previous summits on sustainable development, and addressing new and emerging challenges. It will do so in the context of two specific themes: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development; 2. calls on all those involved in the Rio +20 conference and its follow-up to ensure the success of the conference and achieve real progress for sustainable development; 3. has emphasised on different occasions the importance of measures and changes to support and develop the work on sustainable development. The CoR is of the opinion that all players ? global, within the European Union as well as national, subnational and local governments ? have a shared responsibility in creating a sustainable society that is responsive to the natural resources available. The CoR's members, cities and regions, have an important role to play in this and are to a large extent the driving forces in the work devoted to bringing about sustainable development, not least due to their proximity to EU citizens; 4. therefore calls for explicit reference to and empowerment of subnational governments and local authorities1 in all Rio+20 deliberations. Subnational governments and local authorities need to be actively involved in both in the preparation of, during the Summit and in its follow-up and implementation. Member States are encouraged to establish forums with subnational governments and local authorities for preparing for Rio+20; 5. calls upon the European Council and the European Commission to work out a clear and unified EU position for the UN conference and ensure that the political agreements reached in Rio de Janeiro will also lead to concrete action; declares, in this connection that public involvement, competence and power on a local and regional level is a basic precondition for a sustainable society. In order to support this, the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality must be respected and developed between all layers of governance, from the global via the European Union's planning and decision-making process to the national and sub-national levels. Subnational governments and local authorities must be recognised fully adequate partners in the efforts for a sustainable development, both when preparing for the UN conference and when implementing its results; 6. calls for explicit recognition by the Rio+20 Summit of urbanisation as one key emerging challenge the world needs to address. Urbanisation is of particular relevance to subnational governments and local authorities, as they are at the forefront of dealing with the challenges and opportunities it poses. Since the beginning of this century the majority of the world's 6 billion people live in cities. World population may rise from the current 6 to 9 billion people by 2050 and some scenarios predict that 60 per cent of this population will live in cities by 2030. This trend is especially apparent in developing countries or countries in rapid transition. Sustainable urban development requires a holistic and integrated approach to managing economic, environmental and socio-cultural dimensions of development within a spatial and physical framework. The CoR recommends stronger efforts to develop and support sustainable urban development; 7. emphasises that 'sustainable development' is based on social, environmental and economic factors being in harmony and that combating poverty and social exclusion must be just as much a key concern of the Rio+20 conference as conserving resources, combating climate change and other goals of environmental policy; 8. would like to see greater efforts to produce, evaluate, present and disseminate good examples of sustainable urban development. There is a substantial demand for the exchange of experience and a transfer of knowledge, concerning both institutional factors and a holistic and integrated system approach in the planning and decision-making processes. Good urban governance, spatial planning, systems for land management, legislation and policies, financing, public and private cooperation, public participation, education, training and information are all areas in which there is a significant need for the exchange of experience and transfer of knowledge between cities and regions on a global scale; 9. wishes to emphasise how important it is to focus on and develop the connections and the interaction between cities and their surroundings. A growing population in cities results in heavy demands on production and supply of goods, for example foodstuffs, as well as the accompanying management of waste products and refuse. A concrete example of the need for greater cooperation between cities and their surroundings is the management of biological waste, where functioning systems are needed for the return of plant nutrients to agricultural land in order for the biological ecocycle to work within a closed loop; 10. believes that education, training and dissemination of information are of crucial importance to increase public awareness. The development of learning programmes is especially important for the transition that is needed, including not only technical knowledge on specific aspects, but also on a holistic and integrated system approach; 11. wishes to point out that many of the challenges and concrete measures facing the international community in its work on creating sustainable development cannot solely be solved by new technology and increased financial investment. Measures are also needed to build knowledge in order to adapt and change people's behaviour, consumption patterns, etc.; 12. stresses that both traditional and social media are particularly important in this regard. Measures should be taken to support the development of these media as tools for exchanging information, mobilising people, linking up initiatives and creating critical public groups, thus promoting a sustainable society; 13. underlines that one of the tools used in the efforts to achieve a sustainable society is the town twinning. Many twinning projects are already in place or are being established on local and regional level. A number of players are involved in this processes on both a national scale, within the European Union and internationally. Twinning is an especially effective tool when it has tangible content, aims to be sustainable and involves national governments and local authorities in a north ? south perspective. The CoR believes that further efforts are required, to coordinate existing efforts and to improve the evaluation and dissemination of experience; B. Enabling the transition to a green economy 14. wishes to point out that sustainable development with the three dimensions economy, ecology and social constitutes the basis for Growth, more job opportunities, a green economy, greater prosperity and a cleaner and healthier environment; 15. notes that the current economic system is outstripping the planet's capacities when it comes to the sustainable use of resources and that, increasingly, the European Union is becoming an importer of fossil fuels and raw materials. So me of these are of strategic importance for the present and future of the EU but may run short in future decades. This makes an economic shift towards a mode of development that is more sustainable and more responsive to these resources imperative; 16. expressly stresses that the transition to a more sustainable pattern of development does not only represent a problem but, on the contrary, offers a whole series of opportunities particularly when environmental improvement and the generation of economic and social value added are considered in terms of potential synergy. The opportunities must be made use of through appropriate measures in the fields of economic policy, education and social change; 17. concludes that under the current financial conditions in the European Union and internationally, efforts should be made to achieve a sustainable economy and create sustainable employment conditions; 18. recommends that the Rio+20 Summit delivers a new alternative model to measure Growth and welfare beyond GDP. This is necessary in order to re-orient the debates on policies and achieve fundamental change in the way 'progress' is understood. Indicators are needed that take into account climate change, biodiversity, resource efficiency and social inclusion; 19. is convinced that the EU in particular can play an important role at the UN conference if it can go there itself with a good example: its bargaining position would be strengthened if it set itself ambitious goals on the road towards a 'green economy', for example in the areas covered by the Europe 2020 Strategy Flagship Initiative "A resource-efficient Europe"; 20. supports the proposal of the European Commission that the Rio+20 Summit should adopt a green economy roadmap that sets targets and appropriate indicators, formulates both direct international action and a clear framework for global, EU level, national and local initiatives, and includes as well as a timeline for their implementation; 21. believes that the roadmap should include a specific section on Green Local Economy, which recognises the key role played by subnational governments and local authorities in the transition to a green economy. This section should in particular address the major challenges of urbanisation and green urban economy, promote an international Covenant of Mayors and Regions, and support decentralised cooperation for development by subnational governments and local authorities; 22. requests that the many successful cases of subnational governments and local governments promoting a green economy should be included in the Rio+20 green economy toolbox that is proposed by the European Commission; 23. recalls the important role and many activities of the local and regional tiers in the area of development aid and decentralised cooperation in close cooperation between the CoR, its members and the EU Commission, such as the CoR's "Atlas", the web portal and the so-called "Assises of decentralised cooperation"; 24. would like to see measures on a global level to support the development of an environmentdriven business sector, which could be brought about by:
- supporting the development of green technology and green solutions, among other ways through increased investments in R&D, including investment that, by applying the ecosystem service approach, aims to contribute towards protecting biodiversity and (re)developing ecosystems while simultaneously generating new economic opportunities,
- implementing measures to facilitate the export and import of green products and services on a global level and promoting smart work,
- imposing environmental, climate and ethical demands in connection with public
− encouraging the development of industrial ecology and the circular economy (from cradle to cradle), which aims to close production and consumption cycles, thus placing the materials necessary for these processes within a closed loop, in order to minimise the extraction of natural non-renewable resources,
− developing and implementing methods for functional procurement,
− coordinating and developing models for the environmental certification of goods and services produced by companies by means of comparative life-cycle analyses for goods and services, etc.,
− coordinating and developing models for environmental management systems for companies and organisations, by means of environmental accounting for instance, and
− producing new models for the financing of green solutions and green companies; 25. reiterates that one of the key challenges today is to radically reduce our climate impact, both at global and local level, while at the same time securing energy supplies and ensuring prosperity. Municipalities and regions have major roles in this process. Cities and regions in the European Union are assuming responsibility for a broad range of initiatives aimed at reducing climate impact, securing energy supplies and adapting to climate changes. The Cancun agreements, adopted in December 2010, recognise local governments as governmental stakeholders and open access to international financing mechanisms for cities. Subnational and local governments need to be actively involved in national climate action plans and expect access to financial support; 26. emphasises that measures must be taken to protect, secure and redevelop key resources, materials and natural capital. In particular, the CoR would like the Rio+20 Summit to place a special focus on water. Access to water is a rapidly growing problem and a major challenge, especially for big cities. The CoR therefore supports the establishment of an international partnership on water to tackle this problem and refers in this connection to its recommendations on the role of local and regional authorities in promoting sustainable water management (Opinion CdR 5/2011 fin); 27. emphasises the need to improve the governance and the protection of the marine environment and oceans and consider that it becomes one of the key pillars of the Rio Framework, aside climate and biodiversity; 28. highlights the European Commission's comment that "the sustainable use of land and agriculture will be a cornerstone of the green economy", and therefore takes the view that sustainable urban development and spatial planning mean minimising the extent to which productive agricultural land is built on in such a way that it cannot be used for farming in the future; 29. believes that to enable the transition to a global green economy, large-scale financial resources have to be mobilised. Taxation and pricing should better reflect environmental costs and benefits. The CoR reiterates its calls for mainstreaming the polluter pays principle for a series of specific and tightly scheduled steps for eliminating all environmentally harmful subsidies by 2020. This would free up extra funds for other activities. In addition, reduction targets and efficiency standards like those which have been developed in the EU for a range of products and processes should be applied at international level; C. The institutional framework ? towards better governance 31. recommends a transformation of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) into a World Environment Organisation (WEO). Transforming UNEP into a UN Specialised Agency would create a global multilateral environmental organisation, as the most promising way forward to improve international environmental governance. It should have a revised and strengthened mandate and operate on an equal footing with other UN specialised agencies. Moreover, it should include an implementation arm, decentralised at regional or national level, and aimed at providing countries, subnational governments and local authorities with more direct support on effective implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements, such as on climate change or biodiversity; 32. also recommends the creation of a Sustainable Development Council (SDC) instead of the existing Commission for Sustainable Development (CSD). The aim of this proposal is to achieve better governance, a common view and coordination in the work on sustainable development on all levels; 33. supports the development of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in particular those with a long-term perspective, following the example of the Millennium Development Goals. A broad political commitment based on common goals should be then broken down into a set of specific and concrete targets and ways of measuring them; 34. insists that the Rio+20 Summit recognises that governance needs to include all government levels, from the local and the subnational, via the national and regional, to the global. Rio+20 should subscribe to a consequent multilevel governance approach, based on interaction, synergy and complementarities between all governance levels; 35. draws attention to the fact that within the Rio Conventions, subnational governments and local authorities have recently been given increased recognition of their special status as governmental institutions, including for example their recognition as "governmental stakeholders" in the Cancun Agreement, and Decision X/22 of COP 10 CBD "Plan of Action for Subnational Governments, Cities and Other Local Authorities". The CoR was an active supporter of these developments; 36. requests that subnational governments and local authorities need to have a place in the institutional framework for sustainable development alongside national governments and UN entities. The CoR deplores that in the current international governance architecture, despite their specific role in governance, their representation at UN bodies is often putting them on the same level as civil society and business as other major groups; 37. suggests in this regard that the Rio+20 Summit mandates UNEP (or the future World Environment Organisation), or the Sustainable Development Council (SDS) to create a standing committee for subnational and local governments as a new structure that adequately reflects multilevel governance and offers a permanent mechanism of consultation of and cooperation with subnational governments and local authorities across the world. The Committee of the Regions could serve as a model in this respect; 38. recognises that responsibilities and roles of the subnational and local levels differs widely, both within the European Union and globally and local and regional self-governance is constantly developing. It is therefore necessary to bear these differences in mind when trying to involve local and regional governments as closely as possible in the processes of developing sustainable societies; 39. wishes to stress the importance of common views and coordination to be developed in the work for sustainable development on a global level. In this process, cities and regions are principal players. An important platform for coordination and exchanging experience is the Covenant of Mayors; 40. stresses that the emphasis of the European Commission on the private sector should not divert attention from the need for the Rio+20 Summit, the EU and Member States to promote sustainable development governance at the level of subnational and local public authorities, including the empowerment of citizens; 41. wishes to emphasise the importance of making citizens the focal point in working towards a sustainable society. Therefore the goals and measures of this process need to be adapted to different regional and local situations. The dialogue concerning both physical and financial measures as well as changes in consumption and behaviour must be based on the existing conditions at regional and local levels. Action is required to support the direct participation of citizens in working for a sustainable society, such as
? developing consultative processes and creating meeting places for dialogue and the exchange of experience,
? supporting regional and local development projects, both nationally and internationally, and
? raising the level of knowledge and insight concerning the need for joint efforts to achieve a sustainable society; 42. would like to see the Rio+20 Summit to support the promotion of environmental democracy globally. This could be done by the Aarhus Parties reiterating at Rio+20 their willingness to open the Convention to the whole world, but also in other ways ? for example by supporting the introduction of other regional conventions like the Aarhus one, or initiating negotiations on a global Convention on Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration; 43. would like to see a development and revival of the Agenda 21 work. Rio+20 should define the future governance frameworks necessary to further develop Local Agenda 21 in this respect. The local Agenda 21, which was initiated after the Rio Summit in 1992, is a good example of a grass-roots process that has produced good and lasting results in the form of both concrete measures and greater insight into, and increased involvement in, sustainability issues among society's players. The insight and participation of citizens is the basis of the local Agenda 21. In many cases local Agenda 21 work has lead to new green jobs; 44. would like to see in particular better knowledge support to the regional and local levels. In order for the work for a sustainable society to be effective, all players need an accessible planning and decision-making basis. This is also important in connection with follow-up, evaluation and feed-back of the results and experience gained in the work for a sustainable society; 45. expects that the Commission in its continued work in preparation for the Rio+20 Summit will develop and strengthen the dialogue with the CoR and its members. The CoR hopes that the EU delegation to the Rio+20 Summit will include an appropriate number of delegates from the CoR. II. PROCEDURE

Rex Ryan and the New York Jets were toe-licking good Sunday in their defeat of the New England Patriots Sunday. Not only did the Jets back up all their trash talk, they knocked out the leading candidate for the NFL MVP race Tom Brady.
Don't get me wrong. One game shouldn't define an entire season. Despite the loss, Tom Brady has still been one of — if not — the best player this season leading a fairly inexperienced Patriots team to the divisional playoffs.
But now that Brady and Michael Vick are out of sight, out of mind, it's time for us to discuss a possible new MVP candidate; Ben Roethlisberger.
Let me beat the peanut gallery on this, I know he missed the first four games of the season due to a suspension for a violation of the NFL personal conduct policy and out of the three remaining quarterbacks in the NFL, Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers have better quarterback ratings in the postseason.
It wouldn't be an off-base assumption to think a quarterback will likely win the MVP award this season. So in light of that, we can at least entertain the idea of Roethlisberger being in the MVP conversation — especially if the Pittsburgh Steelers advance to the Super Bowl.
Ben Roethlisberger doesn't have the same meaty statistics as his counterparts, but he's got the best intangibles. Down 21-7 to the Baltimore Ravens in the team's AFC division playoff game Saturday, Roethlisberger engineered a classic comeback victory — despite the Ravens' stellar defense. Keep in mind that the Steelers essentially have no experienced offensive lineman right now.
During the regular season, Roethlisberger finished with the fifth best quarterback rating behind Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick. He also had just one more interception thrown than Brady. And that's with four games missing? Imagine the difference he could have made if he competed in all his games this season.
Should Big Ben and the Steelers beat the New York Jets, he should at least be in the conversation. After all, when it comes to the NFL, it's not how you start but where you finish.

If you've got a small dog, you'll usually want to get a dog harness. Dog harnesses help small dogs feel more comfortable, giving them the kind of support they need. Little dogs just don't have the neck strength of larger dogs, so they have a difficult time with collars and leashes. In fact, collars can actually injure small dogs, particularly if they're prone to pulling against the leash.
Speaking of pulling, dog harnesses are also an excellent choice if you're trying to teach your small dog not to pull. Many dog trainers require dogs to wear harnesses during training. The harness lets your dog know who is in charge, making the process of learning and responding to commands go more smoothly.
Small dogs also tend to be able to wriggle out of collars, exposing them to dangerous situations in traffic or around other dogs. In a harness, however, they're firmly held in place, and they have no possibility of breaking out. A dog harness gives you as an owner more control, and it also makes your dog feel more comfortable.
G.W. Little specializes in serving the needs of small dogs, and we have a full selection of dog harnesses from which to choose. Some, like the Ultra USA Choke-Free Harness and the Scrappy Choke Free Step-In Harness, are designed especially to protect your small dog's sensitive neck, throat and esophagus. Some are fashion statements, like the EasyGo Sweetbow Harness and the Hooded Dog Harness by Puppia. Some are designed for warmth during the cold winter months. Still others are good for handicapped or injured pets. And if you travel a lot with your dog, you'll want to check out some of the harnesses designed specifically for traveling. Whatever you're looking for, we have just the right harness for your dog.
At G.W. Little, we understand small dogs and their owners. We know that you have specific needs, and we search for a variety of products to make sure you have a wide array from which to choose. Browse our harness selection, and you're sure to find exactly the right product for you and your dog.

ZF-6334: Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp constructor leaves $_name property same
When I try Example 33.4. Sending Multiple Mails per SMTP Connection from http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… first of all I get a warning message "{{inet_pton(): Unrecognized address localhost}}" and if I change the {{$host}} parameter of constructor to different IP ADDRESS NOT HOSTNAME, the warning message continues to emerge.
Also as I noticed in code of {{Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp->_sendMail}} method it tries to execute next line {{$this->_connection->helo($this->_name);}}. Is it proper line or it should be like this {{$this->_connection->helo($this->_host);}}}?
P.S. I think for loops in examples 33.4 and 33.5 have mistakes {{for ($i = 0; $i > 5; $i++) {}} it will never do any iteration because of condition {{$i > 5}}. It should be {{$i < 5}}
That's TRUE. What is the "_name" property used for?
Apparently, only for that call. It's set in the construct method from $config['name'] value (if set). By default, its value is "localhost".
Does it make sense to duplicate the 'host' value? Or are we missing something about "helo" method?
Hi, Marcos.
The $_name is used for sender hostname. It is different from $_host which means receiver's one.
I think the document seems to be bit difficult to understand how to use helo() function.
So, I will update the document.
Solved in SVN r18755 of trunk, r18756 of 1.9 branch.

A nice 2 minute loopable stereo recording of British springtime birdsong, recorded at 5am in my garden, you can hear the distant sound of traffic on the motorway, this is not at all obtrusive, but makes the sound best suited to represent birdsong in an urban setting.
This sound would be ideal as a background atmosphere in a film, video, or presentation, but would also be great for use in any project where you need to represent birdsong, nature, early morning, or sunrise.
The zip contains 44.1 khz/16 bit Wav and Mp3 versions (Mp3 bitrate 320 kbps)

All you Project Runway fanaticos and fashionista's, listen up.
The rather fabulous Tim Gunn will be at Salt Lake's own Gateway at the end of April. Yes, we know it's a bit in advance, but we wanted to let you know so you could mark your calendars and start planning your outfit. Gunn will be at the Gateway on April 30th to celebrate the launch of Lucky Brand Jeans Spring 2011 collection and to promote his newest best-seller, Gunn's Golden Rules. Gunn will give a fashion lecture, highlighting the importance of style, proportion and fit of fabulous denim, which we all know is a bit of a challenge to come by. (Anyone else having a flashback to all those horrendous dressing room jeans sessions? Yes, those size 2's run really small, I promise.)
Attendee's/Shoppers will also have a chance to meet and greet the style expert. Those who make a purchase of $100 or more will be given the chance to be professionally photographed with Mr. Gunn and will also receive a personalized, signed copy of his new book.
Is there anything really left to say other than, "go, go, go!"?

I have two kinds of sage in my garden, but I used this lovely purple sage to make the pesto. This type of sage is so attractive, you could easily plant it among flowers.
Sage and Pecan Pesto
(Makes about 4 cups sage pesto which I froze in ice cube trays to make 18 cubes pesto, about 3 T each. Recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from many sources.)
3 large handfuls sage leaves, stems removed, washed and dried
3/4 cup unsalted pecans (or almonds)
1/3 cup chopped fresh garlic
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups coarsely grated parmesan cheese (or more)
Use cutting board and chef's knife to chop garlic and pecans. (They will get chopped more in the food processor so they don't have to be chopped too precisely.) Add pecans, garlic, salt, and parmesan to food processor and pulse until mixture is well combined but not completely pureed together. With food processor running, pour olive oil in through feed tube as you pulse, until the oil is blended with other ingredients. (Taste the pesto and see if you want more cheese, since sage is a strong flavor.)
If desired, freeze in ice cube trays or small containers. Will keep in the fridge for at least a week, or for months in the freezer. When my cubes are well frozen, I pop them out and seal them inside a plastic bag with the FoodSaver.

Boyce Competes In 100 Back, Will Complete NCAA Championships In 100 Free
LIVE RESULTS l LISA BOYCE INTERVIEW l PRINCETON WINS THE IVY TITLE
Junior Lisa Boyce earned another Top-50 finish at the NCAA Championships Friday, and she'll have one more chance to record her first All-America honor Saturday when she competes in the 100 free.
Boyce placed 48th in the 100 back in 54.75, which was off her Ivy League championship time of 52.93, but it did give her a pair of Top 50 finishes in her second straight trip to the NCAA Championships.
On the final day of the NCAA Championships, Boyce will compete in the 100 free. She is currently 20th in the nation in 48.74, and she can grab her third Princeton record by dropping that time by .09 of a second. Boyce is the two-time reigning Ivy League champion in the event.
Boyce was among the select few swimmers nationally who was invited in all three of her events. Boyce qualified in all three at the 2012 NCAA Championships as well, and she placed in the Top 50 in each, including 31st in the 100 free.
"We are excited to be here in Indianapolis with Lisa representing Princeton," said head coach Susan Teeter, who has led Princeton to 11 Ivy League titles in the last 14 years. "She is excited to race and [assistant coach] Suzanne Yee has done a great job preparing her to swim fast. Both of us are very proud of her."

Rated 4 out of 5 by Venturans Decent, but eat it the day it is opened There are two huge naan, totalling four servings. Ours stated it was imported from Britain. Medium thickness, not pillowy or doughy. Taste was good, and unusual compared to naan we normally have.

Why has the death of Elizabeth Edwards, 61, hit us so hard? Yes, our hearts go out to a woman who suffered so deeply while retaining her dignity. But there is more to our mourning than is suggested by her emotionally charged history, a series of events that are now part of our national narrative: losing her firstborn when he was only 16; her husband's repellent web of adultery and deceit; her courageous, day-by-day battle with a terrifying disease; being forced to leave behind the two small children she worked so hard to conceive late in life. All of that draws our sympathy, but there's this as well: Despite her Victorian struggles, she was a thoroughly modern woman, one who took full advantage of the opportunities before her while balancing a traditional role.
With an intellect as striking as her beauty, Mary Elizabeth Anania joined the women of her generation in knocking down doors. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she not only met her future husband, John Edwards, but also earned a law degree. By most accounts, she was his intellectual superior. But like many women of her transitional era, she left the newsworthy career to her husband while she pursued a quieter work-life that allowed her to tend to their two children, Wade and Cate.
When Wade died in a car crash in 1996, Elizabeth abandoned her legal career as she struggled to climb out of the hole he left behind. One of the most poignant passages in her 2006 memoir, Saving Graces, details how she broke down in a supermarket aisle, confronted by a shelf of his favorite soft drink. And yet, unlike a Victorian heroine, who would console herself by retreating to a darkened room with a lock of her beloved child's hair, Elizabeth took the bold step of becoming a mother again. Emma Claire was born when she was 48; Jack when she was 50. Although she never provided details, Edwards surely must have relied on advanced infertility techniques.
They were a remarkable picture, the Edwards family, when John announced his first candidacy for president in 2004, with the lively younger set and their lovely older sister beaming by their parents' side. But within months, as vice presidential candidate John campaigned with John Kerry, that perfect photo would blur: Elizabeth was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She did not hide her disease—years before, First Lady Betty Ford had blasted through those post-Victorian barriers of modesty, shame and secrecy—but announced to the world what she now faced. And, in true 21st century style, she used her illness as a platform to help others, sharing the details of her treatment and campaigning for health reform.
Even when doctors decreed her cancer was "incurable but treatable," Elizabeth battled on, encouraging her husband in a second presidential run. Many involved would call her the brains of the operation—a theory supported, perhaps, by the sniping later directed at her by unhappy campaign workers.
And then, of course, there was the final, awful obstacle in this 19th–century trail of tears: the humiliation of her husband's affair with his campaign "videographer," Rielle Hunter. At that point even Dickens might have stopped piling on. But no, Elizabeth, confronting death, would not be allowed to dismiss this as a one-time fling (although she tried, in print and on TV). The evidence of a larger betrayal arrived in the form of Frances Quinn Hunter, John's illegitimate daughter. It would take Edwards months to admit the child was his.

Boulder Bcycle gets Google grant of $25,000
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
BOULDER, Colorado (Jan. 14, 2011) — Boulder, Colorado's B-cycle bike sharing program received a major boost this week, with the announcement that the Google Community Grants Fund at the Tides Foundation has provided a $25,000 donation to Boulder B-cycle, as part of Google's commitment to support innovative ways for using Internet-based technology to reduce environmental impacts and improve the quality of life in the communities where it operates.
The Google Boulder office develops revenue platforms for Ads and digital online goods, Google Docs, Chrome, and Geographic projects. The office has product development teams, sales and marketing personnel.
"This generous donation will go a long way in helping us reach our overall fund raising goals," said Boulder B-cycle executive director Lewis Wolman, whose organization is holding its official fund raising campaign launch party Friday, January 14, in downtown Boulder. "It's also important validation when a company like Google gets behind a program like ours. We hope other Boulder-area businesses will be inspired to follow suit."
Starting May 20, visitors and residents of this picturesque city situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains will have access to approximately 200 B-cycle bikes spread between 25 docking stations throughout the city's commercial corridor.
Users need only buy a membership on-line or purchase a 24-hour pass at any B-station, then grab a bike and go. When done, simply re-dock the bike at any of the conveniently located B-stations.
Annual memberships cost just $50 and include the first 60 minutes of any individual ride. Day passes are $5 and come with the same first-hour-free privilege. Boulder B-cycle is also working on an arrangement that will provide annual membership holders with reciprocal access to the Denver B-cycle program.
Between now and May, fund raising and sponsorship coordination will be ongoing. Boulder B-cycle is aiming to raise $1 million to complement a $250,000 federal grant it's received from the City of Boulder. Once that goal is reached, the program will be self-sufficient, sustaining itself though a mix of membership and sponsorship revenue.
Boulder B-cycle offers a host of support opportunities, ranging from B-station sponsorship, to branding opportunities on various areas of the bikes. For example, ad space on the basket of one bike can be secured for just $500 a year.
That message of supporting clean, green transportation will be delivered to an expansive audience. Expected Boulder B-cycle users include many of the 55,000 out-of-town workers that flood into Boulder on a daily basis, a steady year-round stream of tourists, and Boulderites from all walks of life.

Please select a size
Ruggedly built for outdoor adventure but classic enough for evenings in town, this Shetland wool cardigan is an excellent choice for travel. Knit by a 135-year-old mill in Hawick, a town along the Teviot River in the southeastern Scottish Borders known for its knitwear. Along with angling in the local rivers, Hawick outdoor culture is marked by the annual Common Riding, where hundreds of riders on horseback celebrate a 16th-century victory over an English raiding party. This Shetland wool sweater is designed to withstand the brisk weather of the British Isles. Its natural water-resistance and moisture-wicking properties keep you warm and dry. Suede elbow patches and quilted suede on the chest help resist wear and tear from bags and camera straps. Suede trim on two front patch pockets.
Made in Scotland. Shetland wool with suede trim. Men's sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48), XXL (50-52).

I would recommend one or two suede, horizontal, inside pockets sewn in behind the suede patches on the chest, with a velcro closure to accomodate a smart phone or small wallet. It/they would be secure, hidden and readily accessable.

About Me Practical, Stylish
I love the look of the sweater, but one pocket is 2.5 cm higher than the other. Quite noticeable. I had to wait 5 months for it to arrive, so I dare not send it back.

Problem Solved
By Viking2
from Coos Bay, Or
Itially, I was disappointed that the elbow patches were too low, centered between my elbow & wrist. For a measly $15.00 a seamstriss simply removed the patches and repositioned them at my elbows. Why it took me so long to figure that out is beyound me. The sweater now looks perfect.
Sleeves too long
The sleaves are too long in relation to the body size. The sleave, sweade patches are suppose to protect the elbows. But the patches came between my elbow and my wrist with the Large size, which I returned. The medium size came with the same problem, the patches still came between my elbows and my wrist. Very disappointed that the sweater doesn't even come in small size
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Inductee: David Bowie (vocals, guitar, saxophone, keyboards; January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016) David Bowie was rock's foremost futurist and a genre-bending pioneer, chameleon, and transformer. Throughout his solo career and in his alliances with other artists - including ...full bio
"When David Bowie came along, well, rock and roll needed a shot in the arm and when I first saw him it was a shock, and yet it was very familiar. It was very necessary. It was something that was needed. It was essential. And like all rock and roll, it was tasteless, it was glamorous, it was perverse, it was fun, it was crass, it was sexy, it was confusing."

A teacher told this to be in 5th grade, and since then I have taken it as fact. Usually no one is able to go against it, but the few who do, are super smart, and to be honestly there logic confuses me. And apparently, according to them, I am wrong. Rayne seems like the person in between, that I could understand.
Ok here it is: "A circle is a regular polygon, with an infinite amount of sides."
