A few times I've been out walking or backpacking and have no moleskin with me. Sure enough, my boots start giving me blisters. How can I prevent or treat hotspots and blisters without using moleskin?

The key is reducing friction. Duct tape can be a good preventative as long as you get it on before a blister forms. After the blister is there, it's harder to recommend as once you're ready to remove the duct tape, you might pull the blister along with it.
Other options are to make sure you're wearing dry non-cotton socks. If you find your feet sweat a lot while walking, make sure you have good moisture wicking socks or you change your socks as the moisture builds up. Rotating socks gives one pair a chance to dry out while wearing the other.
If you're in the middle of a hike and forming hotspots without any tape, extra socks or moleskin to help, you may have to just slow down. Take a break, take your boots and socks off and give everything some time to dry out. It may be all you need to get back to civilization without developing full blisters.
The #1 remedy I use is good old fashioned Duct Tape.
I will usually put a large strip around the back of my ankle every morning before putting my socks on, just as a precaution. It sticks well and allows your boot and sock to rub around without rubbing directly on the skin, causing hotspots.
I would imagine you might not have compeed, if you don't have moleskin with you, but I just thought I'd mention it as a nice measure to prevent/treat blisters.

Reviews for Pecan Squares
"If u like pecan pie....you'll love these"
"Fantastic easy. Have mde it twice. This is a keeper."
"I made this it was very good i used walnuts didn't have pecans i didn't cook the bottom as long 15min and then put the mixture on top they were so good"
"i found this recipe very disappointing. the crust burnt and the mixtured overflowed into the outer edges of the pan. will just stick with th pie."
"This is a great recipe, but it is definitely tricky! I had issues with overflow and a gooey crust the first time. The second time, I used parchment paper and it made a world of difference! It held onto the crust tighter than just a greased pan, so there was little overflow of the filling over the crust. Also, once the bars were cooled in the fridge overnight I just pulled the parchment paper out of the pan and dropped it onto a cutting board and cut the bars with a pizza slicer. Worked great! They are nice and neat and taste amazing!"

Losing Weight May Protect Against Cancer
Unless it's a big bag of money, no one likes carrying around extra weight. Even cute little love handles can be bad.
And having too much abdominal fat has been linked to stroke and heart failure, but losing weight can work wonders.
A new study in the journal The Lancet Oncology claims women who underwent weight-loss surgery had a lower risk of cancer. Great news?
Losing weight is a fantastic idea, but weight-loss surgery is a bad idea. Dr. Fuhrman lists depression, malnutrition, gastritis and vitamin B12 deficiency, as potential side-effects of bariatric surgery.
Instead, try fruits and vegetables. Plant foods are low in calories and high in fiber, which means you can eat until you're stuffed, protect yourself against cancer and still lose weight!

text: Feb 25, 2013 15:41 DNR seeks salt dome answers DNR seeks salt dome answers BY DAVID j. MITCHELL| River Parishes bureau Comments The state Office of Conservation has ordered all of the state's 34 salt dome operators to show how close their caverns are to the outer edges of the subterranean salt domes containing them and, for caverns closest to the salt edge, also to prove they are structurally sound. The directive, issued Jan. 30, is in response to the failure of a Texas Brine Co. LLC cavern in the Napoleonville Dome that is believed to be the cause of an 8.6-acre sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish, officials said. Conservation Commissioner James Welsh has given operators until March 18 to submit the information. Texas Brine has used its caverns in the Napoleonville Dome for the production of brine for the petrochemical industry, but a major use of the vast salt caverns is to store gas, oil and other hydrocarbons. Patrick Courreges, state Department of Natural Resources spokesman, said in an email that the order affects 220 active salt caverns in Louisiana, up to 50 plugged and abandoned caverns and 11 pending permit applications for new solution-mined caverns. He said the information may prove useful in further rule-making, but added that the Office of Conservation is also separately proposing a comprehensive set of rules on other aspects of brine mining. Asked about the order's timing, Courreges said the suspected failure of the Texas Brine cavern — a sidewall collapse at more than 5,000 feet deep — is unprecedented. He said DNR and the Office of Conservation had no regulatory practices addressing the sides of caverns as a significant area of structural concern. The sinkhole is also the subject of a joint hearing of the Senate and House Committees on Natural Resources at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Capitol. Scientists have speculated for months that Texas Brine's solution-mined cavern, which had been plugged and abandoned by June 2011, got close to the northwestern edge of the salt dome between the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou communities. The cavern's salt sidewall deep underground caved in under pressure from the outer rock, allowing millions of cubic yards of earth to mostly fill the cavern and to scramble the outer formations enough to cause a sinkhole to form and unleash oil and gas from strata nearby. The dome is one of hundreds of these massive fingers of salt under the Gulf Coast that have been thrust up through overlying rock over millions of years. The sinkhole and the discovery of methane under the area have resulted in an evacuation of 150 residences in the area for more than six months. Courreges said the directive issued to companies that operate salt domes effectively breaks up caverns into three categories. He said it imposes stiffer requirements to prove location and structural stability the closer a cavern is to the edge of a salt dome formation. "For those that may be within 300 feet of a salt edge, operators have additional requirements to show their caverns are not only stable now but can be verified to be stable in the future," he wrote in the email. Solution-mining companies pump fresh water into a well drilled into a salt body, dissolving a cavity inside the salt and producing a highly saturated brine byproduct. The brine byproduct is used primarily to produce chlorine, a basic building block in petrochemical products. The Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates salt dome operators in that state, has never issued a similar statewide order, a commission spokeswoman said, but the agency amended its rules for hydrocarbon storage in salt caverns in the mid-1990s and forced operators to refile for their permits. "In the context of that permit refiling process, Commission staff re-evaluated the proximity of caverns to the edge of salt domes or other caverns, and as a result, staff denied some permits or required special operating conditions on certain caverns based on proximity issues," Ramona Nye, commission spokeswoman, said in an email. The Louisiana Office of Conservation directive affects all operators of caverns created through solution mining, whether used for brine production or for the storage of gas, oil or other hydrocarbons, Courreges said. Dow Chemical Company is the largest operator on the Napoleonville Dome, occupying more than 880 acres, DNR records show, and has more than 30 caverns in use for brine production or hydrocarbon storage, Company officials said they are confident their caverns are not within the 300 to 500 foot area of concern but are updating maps and waiting on up-to-date information before they response to the directive. "I would say at Dow we understand the directive, given the situation," spokeswoman Stacey Chiasson said. Texas Brine officials said 3-D and other seismic studies under way or nearly finished, which the Office of Conservation required in response to the sinkhole, would be used to comply with the statewide directive.

The battle over gas drilling has made its way to upstate New York and many farmers, especially those that rely on grasslands, are alarmed at the possible impact fracking – the relatively new technology for gas drilling – could have on their livelihoods. Dick Cheney's 2005 Energy Policy Act, with its "Halliburton Exemption" significantly deregulated fracking, making it exempt from the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Clean Water Act and the Clear Air Act. Alarmingly if not surprisingly, the dismantling of these most basic safeguards to protect us from pollution seems to have not caused our lawmakers any concern.
Fracking allows drillers to tap gas reserves deep in the ground. To do so they rely on a high pressure mix of water, sand and undisclosed chemicals pumped into the ground to collapse and crack into horizontal deposits trapped in rock. Sadly, in areas where fracking has already happened there has been widespread pollution and ruined drinking water.

I thought maybe I'd like to be one of those rockers that could bend the strings and get down on my knees, and kind of make everybody go crazy. Then I wanted to be that other guy, too, that had a little acoustic guitar, and sing a few songs - sing about things that I really felt inside myself, and things I saw going on around me. Then I saw Bob Dylan, then I saw so many others, Phil Ochs, Tim Hardin, Pete Seeger, and it all started to come together kind of for me - and I still couldn't forget about that other guy with the guitar, jumping around. I saw, you know, what I wanted to do with my life. And I saw in Rock and Roll, a lot of bands, and sometimes you see both of these people in the same band; you see the one guy going crazy with the guitar, and jumping around, and you see the other real serious kind of guy up there, and he's singing along, and the other guy's jumping around. It's really effective. So you know, I don't know which one of those guys I tried to be, but any way, these guys, they all came from the same place, these singer-songwriters, and it all seems to go back and start with Woody Guthrie. His songs are gonna last forever, and some of the songs of his descendents are gonna last forever. It gave me a great feeling last year at Farm Aid to be up there with Willie Nelson and Arlo, and singing 'This Land is Your Land,' screwing up the words in front of all those people. You could see all those people just singing along - the farmers and all the people, thousands of people, singing this song. And I can't help but think that some day, that song's gonna be sung on other planets. So it gives me great pleasure to induct Woody Guthrie into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Come on up here, Arlo."

D r. Marga is a double-board certified Plastic/Reconstructive and General Surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with a focus on Breast Reconstruction and Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer for lymphedema.
Marga grew up on the coast of North Carolina and attended college, medical school and general surgery residency at Duke University. After completing her training, Marga elected to serve as a medical missionary in Shiprock, New Mexico where she worked as a staff surgeon at the Northern Navajo Medical Center.
In 2002, Marga was recruited to join the faculty at the University of Utah-a position she accepted when few women in Utah were undergoing breast reconstruction. As an assistant professor of surgery, Marga helped to changed this attitude. She was a founding faculty member of the Huntsman Cancer Hospital when it opened in July 2004. She performed what is believed to be the first perforator flap breast reconstruction in the state of Utah only two weeks after the cancer center opened its doors. The number of women who received breast reconstruction annually grew as she remained a faculty member in Utah.
Marga's pioneering treatments require her to work closely with insurance companies to ensure that her patients' costs are kept low while still providing them with cutting edge care.
She also recently relaunched her Web site (drmarga.com) to provide her patients and women world wide with a resource for educating themselves on breast reconstruction surgery.
Since moving to Charleston, Marga has provided care to women not only of South Carolina, but from all over the world as patients commute to the center to undergo breast reconstruction. She continues her commitment to the women of the Intermountain West by commuting to Utah on a regular basis. Additionally, she has established a presence in Chicago in order to bridge the gap for women in the Midwest and in 2009 she extended her practice to New Orleans, La.

|The instructions provided in this article or section require shell access unless otherwise stated.
You can use the PuTTY client on Windows, or SSH on UNIX and UNIX-like systems such as Linux or Mac OS X.
crontab command, found in Unix and Unix-like operating systems, is used to schedule commands to be executed periodically. It reads a series of commands from standard input and collects them into a file known as a "crontab" which is later read and whose instructions are carried out.
crontab uses a daemon,
crond, which runs constantly in the background and checks once a minute to see if any of the scheduled jobs need to be executed. If so, it executes them. These jobs are generally referred to as cron jobs. Cron jobs run as the user who set them up, as though you typed this command into your shell, except with more limited environment settings.
You'll need to enable shell access before you can modify your crontab unless you set up your crontab via the control panel.
More information is available at the shell prompt, with the following commands (hit q to exit):
man cron man -a crontab

About cron on DreamHost
Setting up cron via the DH Control Panel
As most users will be looking for information on using the Control Panel to create cron scripts, you should look for the CRON menu under the GOODIES menu in your Control Panel
Please be aware that the command you enter IS NOT the command the Control Panel will place in the crontab. Something like this is what will appear:
###--- BEGIN DREAMHOST BLOCK ###--- Changes made to this part of the file WILL be destroyed! # Moodle Cron Process MAILTO="firstname.lastname@example.com" */10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/setlock -n /tmp/cronlock.1234567.12345 sh -c $'wget -q -O /dev/null http\072//yourdreamhosturl.com/thepathtoyourapp/cron.php' ###--- You can make changes below the next line and they will be preserved! ###--- END DREAMHOST BLOCK
You can see that the Control Panel invokes "setlock". If you have shell access configured you can look at the man page or you can view a typical setlock manpage by clicking here.
The use of setlock will result in error messages if your cron job is invoked before the prior invocation releases your lockfile. This is often due to your script running longer than the time between job executions.
Execution Environment
Due to security concerns, DreamHost cron does NOT execute with a normal environment. This means you cannot use bare commands. The following will not work:
* * * * * perl myscript.pl * * * * * perl /home/myuser/mydomain.com/myscript.pl
This is because the PATH environment variable is simply /usr/bin:/bin, and the SHELL is set to /bin/sh. The cron daemon doesn't know where the perl command is located. You must specify the full path to all commands not in the default PATH, and always specify the full path for files, like so:
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/perl /home/myuser/mydomain.com/myscript.pl
If you have any trouble locating where a command is, you can use the following command:
which command-name
which perl
Will print:
(However, these days we do indeed find perl in /usr/bin,
$ PATH=/usr/bin:/bin which perl|xargs ls -og -rwxr-xr-x 2 1057324 2007-11-04 23:52 /usr/bin/perl
so maybe the above perl example is dated.)
MAILTO variable requirement
For performance reasons, we are now requiring that all crontabs have a MAILTO variable set. This is because by default cron will email output of your cronjobs to your user, and based on testing and research we've found that most people who have cronjobs set never actually check these emails, causing lots of wasted disk space and also some performance issues under certain conditions.
The MAILTO variable can be set to anything. If you leave it blank it will not email output of your cronjobs. You can set it to your username to have it delivered to your user as usual, or you can specify an external email address. Please note that cron emails *do* factor in to your email sending quota if they are delivered to an external email address.
If you do not have a MAILTO variable set when you go to edit or replace your crontab, our system will ask you where you would like it sent.
man 5 crontab says the value string is not parsed for environmental substitutions, thus MAILTO=$LOGNAME will not work, sorry.
# The following line will disable sending cronjob output via email MAILTO=""
# The following line will send cronjob output to email@example.com email@example.com
# The following line will send cronjob output to your user MAILTO=youruser
Cronjob character limit
Dreamhost's cron web interface states a limit of 1000 characters in a cronjob. What's not explained is that is a limit for the whole file, not just the user input. The real limit is somewhere between 600 and 800 characters. Violating the limit results in this warning:
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' /bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Crontab files
The crontab files are where the lists of jobs and other instructions to the cron daemon are kept. Each user at dreamhost has their own individual crontab files and (often there is a systemwide crontab file at /etc/crontab which is also used but can only be edited by the system administrators).
Crontab files are simple text files that have a particular format. Each line of a crontab file follows a particular format as a series of fields, separated by spaces and/or tabs. Each field can have a single value or a series of values. A single cron job should take up exactly one line, but this can be a long line (more than 80 characters).
Each line has five time and date fields, followed by a command, followed by a newline character ('\n'). A common problem is not including a newline, so hit carriage return (a time or three) at the end. Another common problem is automatic word-wrap breaking up a long line into multiple lines, so make sure your editor doesn't. The file must end with a newline character.
Blank lines and leading spaces and tabs are ignored. Lines whose first non-space character is a hash-sign (#) are comments, and are ignored. Note that comments are not allowed on the same line as cron commands, since they will be taken to be part of the command. Similarly, comments are not allowed on the same line as environment variable settings.
There are several ways of specifying multiple values in a field:
- The comma (',') operator specifies a list of values, for example: "1,3,4,7,8"
- The dash ('-') operator specifies a range of values, for example: "1-6", which is equivalent to "1,2,3,4,5,6"
- The asterisk ('*') operator specifies all possible values for a field. For example, an asterisk in the hour time field would be equivalent to 'every hour'.
The slash ('/') operator can be used to skip a given number of values. For example, "*/3" means to skip to every third value. So for example "*/3" in the hour time field is equivalent to "0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21"; "*" specifies 'every hour' but the "/3" means that only the first, fourth, seventh...and such values given by "*" are used.
The first five fields of the line are the date and time field which specify how frequently and when to execute a command.
|Field no.
|Permitted values
|day of the month
|day of the week
Note: For day of the week, both 0 and 7 are considered Sunday. The time is based on that of the server running cron.
The sixth and subsequent fields (i.e., the rest of the line) specify the command to be run.
The output from commands is determined by the last entries on the line. By default (i.e. if you don't specify anything at all) regular and error output will be e-mailed to you. According to "man cron," when executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such exists). The MAILTO variable may be set in the crontab file. See Handy Crontab Header below for an example.
cron(8) will look at MAILTO if it has any reason to send mail as a result of running commands in ''this'' crontab. If MAILTO is defined (and non-empty), mail is sent to the user so named. If MAILTO is defined but empty (MAILTO=""), no mail will be sent. Otherwise mail is sent to the owner of the crontab (assuming it has mail delivery or forwarding).
You can redirect the standard output and the errors wherever you like by using ">". When you use ">" without a number before it, it defaults to "1>", and this the 1st output is the standard (non-error) output. When you use "2>" you are saying what to do with the error output. So, for example, ">/my_file.txt" would redirect standard output to a file called "my_file.txt", and "2>/my_errors.txt" would redirect the errors to a file called "my_errors.txt".
If you choose to run a script via cron, you may need to set the permissions to 744 using chmod in order to allow it to execute properly.
Example 1, this will run a command at 4:10pm, and email you the regular and error output:
10 16 * * * /home/someone/bin/mycoolscript.pl
Example 2, this will run a command at 2:00am on saturday, and only email you errors:
0 2 * * 6 /home/me/weekly/weekly-pruning.sh >/dev/null
Example 3, this will run at midnight on newyears, and not tell you anything:
0 0 1 1 0 /home/you/happy.new.years.pyc >/dev/null 2>&1
In that example I used a special redirection. '2>&1' sends the second output (error output, stderr) to the same place that regular output goes (standard out, stdout). In place of that you could have given anything, such as a error log: 2>/home/me/cron.errors.log, or the bit bucket again: 2>/dev/null.
Note: It may be necessary for you to use two digit minute and hour fields. One user reported as having to do this to get cron to accecpt the entry. For example:
01 02 * * * perl /home/me/awstats
Example 4, this will run a php page called cron.php every hour:
0 * * * * wget -O /dev/null http://www.somedrupaldomain.com/cron.php
Example 5, this will run a script every 15 minutes:
*/15 * * * * /usr/local/bin/perl /home/myuser/mydomain.com/myscript.pl
Ecample 6, this will run a script every 30 minutes using curl:
*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/curl -s http://domain.com/send.php 1>&2 &>/dev/null
Additional Perl cron operational notes
Executing a PHP Script with Crontabs
To execute a PHP script using crontabs, you must add this line to the top of the PHP script you want to execute (before the opening
<?php declaration), or it will not work:
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
Note: When using the DreamHost Web Panel Cron Jobs, it appears that it is *not* necessary to include the shebang (#!/usr/local/bin/php -q -- or similar line beginning in #!) line in the PHP script itself! (at least not with PHP5 running as a CGI)
Alternately, you can set up your cron entry like this (pay attention to which version of PHP you're running):
Example: This runs p.php every 10 minutes with 0 output, it is shared-server friendly by utilizing the nice command.
*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi /home/user/p.php 1>&2 &>/dev/null
* * * * * /usr/local/php5/bin/php /home/youruser/yourdomain.com/path-to-php5-script.php * * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/youruser/yourdomain.com/path-to-php4-script.php
* * * * * /dh/cgi-system/php5.cgi /home/youruser/yourdomain.com/path-to-php5-script.php * * * * * /dh/cgi-system/php.cgi /home/youruser/yourdomain.com/path-to-php4-script.php
Perhaps an even better way is simply requesting the public url of the php with wget, curl, GET, lwp-request, links, lynx, etc. A benefit to doing this is your php files won't have to be modified and they will be executed using the same environment and permissions as usual.
* * * * * wget -q --delete-after http://yourdomain.com/path-to-php-script.php
The below example (links -dump) will actually email the output if setup through the web panel. Furthermore, wget downloads to /home/username/ a copy of the output, thus making a mess of the folder (even making empty files if there is no output)
* * * * * links -dump http://yourdomain.com/path-to-php-script.php
Executing a PHP script with Crontab through the control panel
Please read the section above to initially familiarize yourself with the process for executing PHP scripts through Crontab. Come back and read this section after you have a basic understanding of how this works, as you'll need to modify it slightly for it to work as expected through the control panel.
Cron jobs can now be set up directly through your DreamHost control panel here.
The process for executing a PHP script (and others, too!) is slightly different than what you would use if you were manually editing your cron jobs through the shell.
Instead of having to specify how often you'd like the script to be executed in the script line itself like
*/10 * * * * you would leave that out and just enter the command you'd like to be executed, like
/usr/local/php5/bin/php /home/youruser/yourdomain.com/path-to-php5-script.php. You specify how often you'd like it to run on the form for editing the cron job itself instead.
You also need to leave out the trailing portion of the cron job that normally tells the server to squelch email related to the job. Basically, don't add
1>&2 &>/dev/null to the end as you'll determine what happens to the email through the control panel.
Handy Crontab Header
email@example.com # minute (0-59), # | hour (0-23), # | | day of the month (1-31), # | | | month of the year (1-12), # | | | | day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday). # | | | | | commands 3 2 * * 0,6 /some/command/to/run 3 2 * * 1-5 /another/command/to/run
Shortcut Crontab Header
Instead of the first five fields as above, one of these special strings may be used:
string meaning ------ ------- @yearly Run once a year, "0 0 1 1 *". @annually (same as @yearly) @monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *". @weekly Run once a week, "0 0 * * 0". @daily Run once a day, "0 0 * * *". @midnight (same as @daily) @hourly Run once an hour, "0 * * * *".
Editing Crontab
To edit the your crontab you'll have to log in to your server with SSH (read the SSH article to learn how to do this). Once you've sucessfully logged in you can begin issuing commands.
From a file
Create a crontab file using your favorite text editor. Take care to follow the syntax above, one entry per line and end with an (empty) new line.
If you prefer, the text file may be uploaded. Just make sure to set your FTP client to do an ASCII transfer.
crontab filename
command line text editor
You can also directly edit your crontab by executing the following command:
crontab -e
This pulls up your crontab file with the default text editor, Nano. You can type away, making sure to properly format your command(s). When you're done press ctrl and o at the same time to save, or write out, the file. Now press ctrl and x at the same time to exit. You should recieve a success message, or you may recieve an error message. It should be noted that all commands must appear on one line. If the command wraps onto a second line cron will think it's two seperate commands.
To check that the change was successful:
crontab -l
To remove your crontab and start fresh:
crontab -r
(note: if you attempt to edit your crontab outside your home directory the save will fail. Go home!)
Having nano read your uploaded text file
First you must upload your text file with all the command lines meeting all the guidelines above within yourdomian.com, then connect to your server shell and once nano starts type Ctrl + R then type the URL that points to your uploaded file:
save your file and exit, you should get a confirmation of success.
Changing your Default editor
If your command is wrapping, or if you'd rather work with a different text editor you can do that. You'll have to edit your .bash_profile file. At the command line type:
nano .bash_profile
This is a hidden file so it won't normally show up in your file list. To set your default text editor to not wrap lines, add the following line to the end of your .bash_profile file.
export VISUAL="nano -w"
Now press ctrl and o at the same time to save, or write out, the file. And press ctrl and x at the same time to exit.
If you're used to pico, use the following in your .bash_profile script to keep it from wrapping lines:
alias pico='pico -w'
The following sets the default editor to vim:
export EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"

The Italian conductor Carlo Rizzi is once again conducting the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra in the repertoire for which he is best known: Puccini. Rizzi has a special passion for Puccini's operas and Manon Lescaut is a long-awaited opportunity. Several weeks before the start of rehearsals he talks about the richness and incredible theatricality of this youthful work by his fellow countryman.
What does Puccini mean to you?
Puccini is of course central to the repertoire of an Italian opera conductor! A couple of years ago I made my debut at La Monnaie with La Bohème and I am delighted that I now have the opportunity to conduct this new production of Manon Lescaut - along with Il Trittico, one of the few Puccini operas I have not yet conducted. It so happens that I'm conducting the infrequently staged Il Trittico in Copenhagen, so Puccini is in the ascendant this season!
Il Trittico is not often performed, but neither does Manon Lescaut have the popularity of La Bohème or Tosca. And it had a difficult birth…
Every composer has operas where the music flows of its own accord, operas that sweep you along from the first note to the last. La Bohème and Tosca fall into that category but Manon Lescaut does not. Puccini revised Manon Lescaut many times, just as he did Madama Butterfly and after that Turandot. In terms of 'musical flow' Manon Lescaut is somewhere in the middle: some parts are very free, both in terms of the music and the action; but there are other passages – the second act in particular - which are a little more difficult to bring to life. Of course the second act contains some fantastic moments, like Manon's "In quelle trine morbide", but I have the feeling that Puccini had rather more difficulty evoking the false, unreal world Manon finds herself in at this point. This certainly has to do with the world of eighteenth-century gallantry, which he conjures up by means of stylized forms like the madrigal and the minuet.
Puccini didn't make it easy for himself by telling the story in four separate acts; he wanted to make his work sufficiently different from Massenet's Manon opera. Was that a real constraint?
With the exception of Il Trittico (which consists of three stories) and his second opera Edgar, most of Puccini's operas display great temporal continuity: in La Bohème and in Turandot the first two acts form an entity, in Butterfly the first and the third acts do that, while Tosca takes place in the space of a single day … Manon Lescaut is the only one of Puccini's operas where each of the four acts is separate, both in time and in place. Remarkably enough, the only 'continuity' is provided by the (symphonic) intermezzo between the second and third acts. Whether consciously or unconsciously, in Manon Puccini took a different approach. Was this prompted by the need to do something different from Massenet? Or did it have to do with the libretto, which omits the passage where Manon and Des Grieux live together until the money runs out and she moves in with Geronte? I have no definitive answer. But whether the reasons are musical or dramaturgical, the 'flow' is more often interrupted than in his other operas.
What do all the revisions of the libretto and the score tell us about Puccini?
Here I feel duty bound to defend Puccini! All too often he is appreciated only for his beautiful melodies, which have given rise to the misguided idea that he must be an easy, superficial composer. The fact that Puccini went on and on revising and orchestrating the work shows that he wanted to delve deep. He was gifted with a talent to compose sublime melodies, but that should not prejudice us against him. As a conductor I only have to look at the orchestration of his operas to discover a treasure-house of wonders. You can feel how he was searching, experimenting with timbres…
Fortunately, recent Puccini studies have tempered that criticism, though the prejudice is still there to some extent. So for a work like Manon Lescaut, which is bulging with beautiful melodies, isn't it important to emphasize the other qualities of the score as well?
It is indeed a phenomenally rich score, even without the vocal part. Compared to other Italian composers of his time, Puccini was much more progressive. Rather than writing purely vocal parts with an accompaniment, everything was interwoven. There are of course passages where the orchestra only has an accompanying role, but in many other places the drama is actually driven by the orchestra. Consequently, it is important for a conductor to strive for a global vision. Drama and music cannot be separated. Moreover, like Verdi, Puccini goes straight to the essence. There aren't many elements that can be removed from his score without fundamentally changing the colour of it. So Puccini's music was not created purely for the sake of beautiful melodies, but for the drama. There are of course exceptions to this, but for me Puccini is very much a 'uomo di teatro', a real theatre composer.
You say that everything is interwoven. Are you thinking of the use of motifs?
Yes, in this score Puccini uses 'reminiscences', but I would not describe them as actual leitmotivs. They are more 'sound memories' which recall without recourse to words what happened when we first heard a particular melody. This, too, is invariably dictated by the drama.
What sort of characters does Puccini create in Manon Lescaut?
The characters in Manon Lescaut are complex and anything but monochromatic – and that of course applies first and foremost to Manon: young girl, adult woman, loyal sister, lover intent on overcoming obstacles or resigned mistress – who is Manon really? I talked about this with the director, who sees this opera as a 'journey of discovery', a quest for identity. The character of Lescaut is also more complex than he at first appears. What does Lescaut want for Manon, and for himself? Of course first and foremost he wants money and success, but there is more to it than that. Manon Lescaut is new to me personally as well. During the rehearsals with the singers, and particularly with Eva-Maria Westbroek, we will decide which aspects of the characters we want to emphasize. Every singer is different and it would be silly for a conductor not to do something with that.
What do you plan to tell the singers and the orchestra at the start of rehearsals?
I spend the first few musical rehearsals with the singers listening to the way they sing. Then at a certain point I will try and communicate my reading of the score and where I want to lay the emphases. I want to take the same approach with the orchestra and start from the 'material' we have. Every orchestra is different: they may have a vibrant sound or a dark sound. I know the La Monnaie orchestra quite well now and I know that it is very flexible, which is essential for Manon Lescaut because the atmosphere changes so quickly. The four acts are very different from each other and intimate moments give way to a certain 'show quality'. Take, for example, the impressive beginning of the opera! I see the rehearsals not as a 'technical' process, but as bringing together different forces with everyone contributing his own personality and – hopefully – at the end of the journey everyone looking in the same direction. The conductor has the important role of ensuring this actually happens!

ZF-8332: Zend_Date fails on 31 of month
I've tested on two servers both with Zend Framework 1.9 and PHP 5.2.6 the following code:
$date = new Zend_Date(); $date->setDay(31); $date->setMonth(5); $date->setYear(2009);
print "DATE: ".date('d/m/Y', $date->getTimestamp());
Outputs: DATE: 01/05/2009
Expected Output: DATE: 31/05/2009
If you put any valid month that have 31 days you will always get 01 as day in the same month.
No problem at all. You are just doing things wrong.
$date = new Zend_Date();
19.Nov.2009 is set
1.Dec.2009 is set Because there is no 31.Nov. So the valid date is used.
1.May.2009 is set
1.May.2009 is set
When working with dates you need eighter to set a date at once, or by setting from highest to lowest value. From Year, to Month, to Day, and not reverse.
You could also set the extend_months option. But this could add other problems when you are not aware of what you are doing.
Closing as non-issue Wrong usage.
Thanks for the clarification, I forgot that date is calculated on each call (I thought that calculation was done on call of getTimestamp())

The Affordable Care Act and How it Affects You LEARN MORE
Thousands of Americans are owed money, which could make for an unexpected New Year's Bonus! Information released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) confirms that the agency is currently holding $123.5 million in unclaimed refund checks. The money is from 107,831 income tax refund checks that were returned to the IRS in 2009 due to incorrect mailing addresses.
If you are one of the taxpayers who did not receive your expected refund, contact the IRS immediately with proof of current address. Call the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954 or access the "Where's My Refund?" page on the IRS website (www.irs.gov) to check on your refund status. Using your 2008 tax return, provide your Social Security number, filing status and the amount of the refund shown on the return.
If the refund was returned to the IRS, you can still receive it by updating your address. To prevent the possibility of this happening to you again, considering choosing to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account, rather than mailed to you as a check. Not only does this remove the risk of a lost check, it also gives the taxpayer a more secure, convenient way to access the funds.
Remember, a missing refund check can be a significant amount of money. Make sure you got the refund you were entitled to last year.
If you're wondering what you should bring with you when you meet with your tax preparer, refer to this list.
• Wage statements/W-2s
• Self-employed business income and expenses/1099-MISC
• Commissions received/paid
• Pension, retirement income/1099-R

According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website, large numbers of phony emails have been circulating in recent weeks. Although the subject line of the emails often includes something about "notice of underreported income," the IRS recommends that you delete the email without opening it or your computer information could be compromised, putting you at risk for identity theft.
The IRS never sends unsolicited emails to taxpayers about their tax accounts. You should report suspicious emails, claiming to come from the IRS, at: email@example.com.
If you believe that you may have already been a victim of these fraudulent emails, you can get help at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's website: www.OnGuardOnLine.gov.
Some of the key tax incentives of The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 will directly impact your 2009 tax return. Here are just a few:
Child Tax Credits -- For 2009 and 2010, taxpayers with a qualifying child(ren) and income between $3,000 and $8,500 will also be eligible to receive the Child Tax Credit, which will allow more taxpayers than ever to receive the additional Child Tax Credit.
New Car Purchases -- Taxpayers may deduct the sales or excise tax paid on up to the first $49,500 of the purchase price of a new vehicle, as an itemized deduction or as an addition to their standard deduction. In addition, "plug-in" vehicles are eligible for a credit of up to $7,500 for the first 200,000 "plug-in" vehicles sold per manufacturer.
Making Work Pay Credit -- For 2009 and 2010, qualifying taxpayers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of less than $95,000 ($190,000 if MFJ) will be eligible for a credit of 6.2% of earned income up to $400 ($800 if MFJ).
First-Time Homebuyer Credit -- Taxpayers who purchase a qualifying new home after December 31, 2008 and before May 1, 2010, may claim a refundable credit of 10% of the purchase price up to $8,000 ($4,000 if married filing separately). In addition, if the home is purchased during this time the credit does not have to be repaid unless the taxpayer sells the home within 36 months. Beginning November 7, 2009, taxpayers who lived in their current home for five consecutive years out of the eight years preceding the purchase of a new home may qualify for a reduced credit of $6,500 ($3,250 if married filing separately. Note: Taxpayers who enter into a binding contract to close on a home before May 1, 2010 may still qualify for the credit if they close before July 1, 2010.
Education Credit -- For tax years 2009 and 2010, the New American Opportunity credit will replace the Hope Credit. The credit allows for up to $2,500 for eligible expenses for the first four years of post-secondary education and allows 40% up to $1,000, of the credit to be refundable.

Luscious and silky enough for brie-lovers, sheepy and full-flavored enough for the most adventurous palate, its bright orange rind refuses to be ignored, but its delicate sweetness balances the buttery intensity with aplomb.

Vermont Creamery
CremontThe delicate, crinkly rind on this American Original encases a deceptively rich and tasty cheese, thanks to the addition of tart creme fraiche. It may not be socially acceptable to down in two bites, but just you try resisting its advances.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JanetLynn Finally, a dress below the knees! I love this dress. I bought it in a 3x in black. It fits perfectly. I couldn't have designed it better - well maybe I'd have left off the pocket. It's light weight and hides problem areas. I've been looking for a long straight dress with sleeves in a plus size for years. An extra bonus for me is that it has a v-neck. It's hard to believe, but dresses with this design are just not out there. Designers always assume we want dresses above our knees or to the floor and that we always want to show off our arms. NOT the case in a plus size. I'm ordering it in red, but I wish they had the other colors in the larger size. March 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ombaby Love this dress... This dress is so comfortable and cute. I am 5'6'', and it is a perfect and fun length...lower calf. Could be dressed up or down, worn with a wrap in cooler weather. Keep a lint roller handy. the fabric does not shed lint. But definitely worth it. September 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tired56 Too good to be true Saved me on a trip to India when my luggage was lost. This is the only thing I had for three days with a sweater, rinsed it in the sink, but slow to dry was the only disadvantage December 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by rvagal staple for every wardrobe Love this way this dress fits! The fabric feels substantial and it's already one of my go to's in my closet! May 18, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Babes Did not know it was tshirt material. Wish it was the loose free flowing material and easy to pack. Did not think it was worth $99. Looking for a dress to dress up or down. August 20, 2013

Ellen Barkin, 57, is reportedly living with screenwriter/director Sam Levinson, who is 31 years her junior. Sam, 26, is the son of director Barry Levinson, who gave Barkin her big break in the 1982 film Diner. Barkin, whose acrimonious divorce from mogul Ron Perelman made headlines in 2006, is now generating serious Tony award buzz in the Broadway revival of The Normal Heart. Go, Ellen! (6/3/11)
I am glad to check the article. I want to say that business trip is great. I am a professional women. I am just divorced. I love younger men. I am dating a man who is 25 year old. I love the energy and a nice tight bod. Older men just aren't the same, different mentality. I seem to have more in common with younger guys. Younger men are actually more fun and are usually more interested in me. I'm flattered. I think younger men like cougars because they have no agenda, don't usually want to get married and are usually very independent and don't need a man to take care of them. I meet the younger men on this website:---http://www.cougarchats.com-------
Agree...Cougar is a derogatory label...and thats a misprint...he is 26 not 36...so it is a 31 year difference...
If we want to be taken seriously, we need to stop using the derogative term, "cougar" to describe any woman that dates a man younger than herself. Do we assign an animal name to men that choose to date a younger woman? No! But we talk about a man and his "trophy wife," once again, looking at the woman as the culprit. Change starts small....c'mon MORE, you're better than this!
someone needs to learn math - 57 - 36 is 21, not 31 - either way, i say grrr8 for Ellen, does he have a brother:-)
