text: Mar 14, 2013 17:14 Emily Estrella plays at The Maison Emily Estrella plays at The Maison Emily Estrella and The Faux Barrio Billionaires Michael Farrar| Special to theadvocate.com Feb. 8, 2013; 6:04 p.m. Comments Emily Estrella is a free spirit who leads the Faux Barrio Billionaires through vintage jazz tunes for audiences to enjoy on Fridays in February at the Maison. Singing standards comes naturally to Estrella because of her grandmother, who inspired her passion for music. "People ask me all the time, 'Where did you learn all this old music?' My grandma used to sing it to me when I was a kid," she said. "We didn't have a TV, so she would have us listening to old records and have me entertaining her friends at dinner." The music was eagerly soaked up by Estrella along with classic dance moves taught by her grandmother. "We spent a lot of time with Grandma," she said. "A lot of times we went there after school. I grew up dancing with my grandma in her living room." Estella danced and sang her way from her grandma's Ohio living room to high school and college in Massachusetts. She eventually settled in the childhood home of Jelly Roll Morton, a New Orleans music legend. Her journey to New Orleans has a spiritual quality to it. A few years ago she was uncertain of her future, and as Estrella looked over the ocean on the Massachusetts' coast, she asked St. Peter to guide her choice between Chelsea in New York City and New Orleans. "I was told that the apartment in Jelly Roll Morton's house was rented, so I had given up on the idea of New Orleans," Estrella said. But shortly after asking for saintly guidance, a space in Morton's home opened up, so she credits St. Peter with steering her toward the Big Easy's Seventh Ward. As an extension of her love for the historic home, she nicknamed the Seventh Ward her "faux barrio" as a wink to the city's Spanish roots that continues to influence today's NOLA musical community. It's no coincidence that the Faux Barrio Billionaires shares her neighborhood's nickname. The word "billionaires" was added due to the richness she feels in her bandmates' happy-go-luck company. The group's roster consists of Adam Arredondo (trumpet), Russell Ramirez (trombone), Byron Asher (clarinet), Josh Marotta (drums), Jason King (guitar), Max Bien-Kahn (bass), Aaron Gunn (violin) and Estrella (vocals). Besides the Faux Barrio Billionaires' club gigs and street performances, they also bring their music and celebratory spirit to Jelly Roll Morton's home at regular Jelly Roll Jam house parties. It was at one of these impromptu Jelly Roll Jams that musician Aaron Gunn met Estrella, who had been performing on the street with her ukulele while waitressing in the French Quarter. When she was offered a live gig that required a band, Estella phoned Gunn, who put together a trio to back her up. That original trio grew into a full band to provide the live music support for Estrella to perform a grown-up version of her childhood afternoons at her grandmother's singing and dancing to old records. Besides the music, Estrella's grandmother also told her stories about her travels as a professional dancer that included visits to New Orleans in the 1940s. "When I was a little girl my grandma told me about this New Orleans hotel with a cornstalk fence. I thought she was making it up until I walked by the Cornstalk Hotel on Royal street and saw it was true," Estrella said. "Now, here I am -- living the dream. New Orleans is such a magical place." Emily Estrella and the Faux Barrio Billionaires play Fridays in February at the Maison, 508 Frenchman street. For more info go to: http://maisonfrenchmen.com.

I'd then do a face-plant, tuck one leg up (that position somehow makes my bladder feel less full) and then it was off to dreamland to appear naked in shame in front of my high school classmates or have my bodice passionately ripped by the guy who plays Denny on Gray's Anatomy.
Those days are over. In the last couple of years, I have become a complete sleep fussbudget. My sleep environment must be perfect or the odds that I will become fixated on some minor discomfort (it's too hot, too cold, the sheet is of a sub-optimal thread count) and be unable to sleep are too great.
Here's what my sleep routine looks like.
1. After my ablutions, I pee—twice—lest my bladder fail to void completely and I am forced to get up. Once my body is in motion, it feels as if my adrenaline spikes and my mind churns and it's hard to calm down.
2. I open the window just enough for it to be on the cool side of temperate in our bedroom, but not enough for something to blow off the side table and wake me.
3. I jot down any random thoughts or things I've forgotten to do on a little pad, thus evicting them from my brain for the night.
4. I then put in earplugs (we live near an urban highway and while it used to sound like the ocean to me, I now only hear the skidding, car crashes, and cursing), and if my husband is still up and looking at his BlackBerry, an eye mask. Even that tiny light shining within five feet of my pupils will simulate daylight and throw off my circadian rhythms. Of this I am convinced.
5. Most of all, I studiously avoid any conversation with my husband that might lead to conflict. This means avoiding any conversation.
6. I then assume my position and God help the child who wanders in asking for a glass of water.
As much of a pain as this makes me, the consequences of not doing this—getting less than the 8 to 9 hours I need for more than one night—are far worse, so my family gives me great latitude. They've seen the foul-tempered, nerve-jangled, oddly pigmented carbovore I become when I'm running a sleep deficit.
I don't think I'm in perimenopause yet, either, which scares me, because things only promise to get worse from there. At perimenopause, according to experts, estrogen and progesterone, which help regulate sleep, take a dive, making matters worse. Add to that the handful of symptoms I may have to look forward to, like hot flashes, and I'll need a horse pill-sized Ambien to put me out.
But if I worry about that now, at 10 PM, I'll never get to sleep. So in the meantime, I'll keep doing all the things the experts say to do—exercise, keep my weight in check so I don't develop sleep apnea, and try to be moderately sane so that my nerves aren't on a hair trigger. It's that last one that I find to be the biggest challenge. There must be a solution. I'll just have to sleep on it.
Are you a sleep fussbudget too? Share your specific bedtime rituals by writing a comment.

BOULDER - For Colorado's football coaches, there was little - make that no - downtime between the end of spring practice and the beginning of the off-field grind that will take them toward August camp.
CU concluded spring drills on Saturday night with the annual Spring Game at Folsom Field. On Sunday, all but two members of coach Jon Embree's staff - coordinators Eric Bieniemy (offense) and Greg Brown (defense) - hit the road recruiting.
Embree told several media members on Monday afternoon in a post-spring wrap-up that Bieniemy and Brown were "getting some things finished up from offensive and defensive standpoints." The entire staff will be back on campus next week, then return to the road for the month of May.
NCAA rules prohibit Embree leaving campus to recruit until Dec. 1 - "But I can make telephone calls over the next five to six weeks," he added.
CU had its Junior Day in conjunction with the Spring Game, and Embree called the event a success. There were upwards of 65 attendees, many from out of state and some with their parents, and Embree said he "expects to hear from some kids soon - a couple in particular. Seven kids that came . . . it was good they got here; they made a great effort to get here. We'll see on that."
He said his preliminary count on available scholarships for 2013 is "16 to 20."
BUFF BITS: CU's summer camps for high school players will be held July 20-22, with Embree believing those dates "allowing more kids in general to participate . . . hopefully that will be conducive for everybody." Camps for younger players (8-13) will be conducted on consecutive weekends at CU (June 1-3) and Cherry Creek High School (June 8-10) . . . . If there's any attrition on his team this summer, it should be minimal and nothing rivaling last season. "We're in the process of evaluating," Embree said, "but for the most part kids are handling their business and doing what they're supposed to do; they're giving us maximum effort on and off the field. But you know how those things go." . . . . Embree reiterated this fall's captains could be selected on a game-by-game basis. He said he "feels good about the direction of the leadership on this team," mentioning linebackers Doug Rippy and Jon Major, defensive tackle Will Pericak, quarterbacks Nick Hirschman and Connor Wood, offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, center Gus Handler, safety Ray Polk and defensive end Chidera Uzo-Diribe as players he expects to head up the Buffs' summer conditioning work . . . . Embree also said he expects receiver Paul Richardson, who underwent knee surgery Monday afternoon, to continue to function in a leadership role even though Richardson will miss the 2012 season . . . . Embree is not expecting incoming freshman quarterback Shane Dillon to redshirt. Positions where first-year players will receive early and heavy scrutiny include defensive line, defensive back, running back, receiver and tight end. Throw in return specialists, too . . . . If there are to be any fourth or fifth-year transfers, that word won't come until later this summer, Embree noted . . . . CU's uniforms won't change for 2012, but Embree said there already have been discussions with Nike for 2013. "Nothing radical," he added . . . . Embree on fans: "You can't manage fans' expectations . . . there's a lot of enthusiasm out there; it's going to be whatever it is."

- In a large skillet, saute the onion, celery and carrots in oil until tender. Add thyme; cook 1 minute longer.
- Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the peas, broth and water. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until peas are tender.
- Cool slightly. In a blender, process half of the soup until smooth. Return all to the slow cooker. Add bacon and pepper; heat through. Yield: 6 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
Reviews for Rich and Thick Split Pea Soup
"Made this tonight as directed. I could have used a little less thyme and added some salt. I do like the texture, but I'm missing the hammy taste from making it with ham bones. Not bad for a non-ham bone split pea soup."
"the best I've had. making in the crock pot keeps texture to the peas, they don't turn to mush like when you cook on stove"
"I use homemade smoked turkey stock in mine, no broth or Canadian bacon. I use chopped carrots and onions, not sauteéd, minimal sea salt and black pepper. Rinse and sort split peas, add to slow cooker. Done in 6 to 8 hours and I found that I didn't need to blend. I created this recipe, never having had split pea soup, much less make it. I took it to church and came back with none. Lots of recipe requests. Husband and dog went gaga for it. It does need thinning if it sits a long time or you have leftovers, I just use water. I have made this vegan too by subbing water for stock, still rave reviews."
"Just didn't care for this recipe at all, and I love pea soup."
"I made this for friends and they raved about it. One way to kick up the flavor a notch is to add a small pinch of cumin- nice!"

Mobile computing: VDC Research surveys mobile and wireless users
June 29, 2010 - MMH Editorial
There is a revolution going on in mobile and wireless computing inside and outside the four walls of the plant and warehouse. VDC Research (http://www.vdcresearch.com), the Boston-based research firm, is surveying the end user market – that means folks like you, our readers at Modern Materials Handling – to find out how requirements and needs are changing.
"Our clients manufacture and design solutions for the market," says David Krebs, director of VDC's mobile and wireless practice. "We're trying to collect the information about how end users are currently using the equipment and where are the gaps. That's everything from the design of the device to the applications that end users are using or want to use."
You can have your voice heard and possibly win an Amazon gift certificate by clicking on the following link and participating in the survey. http://vdcresearch.com/survey/10_emob_eu.html VDC w.ill be taking input over the next three to four weeks.
What does Krebs see happening in the market? It will come as no surprise that there has been some contraction in the supply chain end of the market. "We started tracking the softness in the market in mid-2008, and were expecting that to continue in 2009, but the extent to the fall off last year was surprising," says Krebs. While VDC was forecasting a pullback of 15 to 20%, the market for wireless and mobile computing solutions in the warehouse in established economies saw a 35 – to 40% decline last year.
It may come as no surprise that the retail and automotive sectors were particularly hard hit, but Krebs says that no industrial vertical was spared. "There was so much uncertainty in the market, that people simply postponed purchasing anything," he says. Much like the supply chain software market, the severity of the slump appears to have been a one year event. By the 3rd quarter of 2009, after four soft quarters, enterprises began spending again. While business is no where near pre-recession levels – and Krebs doesn't expect to see those kinds of numbers until 2012 – he says the first quarter data for 2010 was surprisingly strong. Business isn't great, he says, "but there's evidence that people are opening up capital resources and investing again."
A couple of factors are driving that growth. For one, Krebs says, the fundamentals around mobile and wireless investments are sound: these technologies drive improvements in productivity and support decision making.
For another, end users are now combining technologies, like barcode scanning and voice or RFID, to create new solutions. "Multi-modal is a theme that we're following," says Krebs.
The last is the growth of solutions to meet the unique requirements of specialized industries, like the cold chain, ports or pharmaceuticals. "The nuances within those industries are very pronounced, and we're seeing real solutions around supply chain optimization and inventory management," says Krebs.
On Friday, we'll look at how mobility is impacting the supply chain. In the meantime, be sure to click on the link to have your voice heard in VDC's survey. http://vdcresearch.com/survey/10_emob_eu.html.

Rated 2.8 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by tbenz12 Fantastic Chairs! These chairs are so pretty and durable. Assembly is not the easiest unless you have a buddy to help you. I've purchased them twice for my home and vacation home - and the matching bar stools. December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Patty15 Love my chairs I'm thrilled with my chairs. They look beautiful and are very comfortable. The color is fabulous!!....more taupe than beige......and the legs even come with small floor protectors already in place. My husband had no problem with the limited assembly. My only complaint..........the material has a bit "sloppy" trim around legs, but this is under the chairs and a little "fray check" secured it. September 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephmc Great style and quality for the price I was looking for a parson's style chair with a little something extra. The rolled back on this one, with tufting was perfect. Sturdy fabric and the color is perfect for my newly redecorated dining room. September 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by pinkglamxoxo Legs wobble This chair is very comfortable to sit in, it looks great! BUT the legs wobble. No matter how many times I adjusted them and tightened them they all wobble if you have them on a hardwood floor or any floor that does not have carpet :( which for the price that you spend they should not wobble. The color is also a heather grey very pretty. The picture makes it look almost a beachy tan color. I saw them in the store in this color and that is how I chose it. August 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by dr83 Great Looking I love the style and look of these chairs. They are a good proportion relative to our dining table. The color isn't as cream/beige as it looks online. They are more of a grey color. But they are a good price, and they look really nice... September 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MontclairMom Poor quality, very dissapointed I purchased 8 of these chairs when we bought our first home. After assembly they look great but they were all wobbly. they are poorly constructed. less then a year after the purchase, they all sit in my basement and mix match chairs I picked up at garage sales, craigslist, etc. surround my farmers table. don't waste your money September 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by qnguyen Looks great but with major flaw! I purchased 8 of these chairs online, set them up and noticed that two started creaking when you sat down after just a few days. We exchanged them in the store and everything was fine. After a couple weeks, they all started creaking. We reassembled two of them thinking maybe it was our fault - it didn't help; the creaking still happens. Please consider other options if you're thinking about getting this set. June 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by tinker Very poorly made - assembly a nightmare I am extremely competent when assembling just about anything (I'm a tinker at heart). I spent over an hour, and several curse words, trying to assemble this chair and level all 4 legs. I discovered after taking it apart to closely inspect all of the pieces that the front legs were not the same shape OR length. They are going back to the store tonight. I really like world market, but as this is the second time that I have purchased an assembly-required product that was not able to be properly assembled, I will no longer purchase such things there. It's a shame. May 27, 2014

After Sierra Leonean trio, Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew, gained massive popularity in their home country, they're now ready to take on the world. Their unique sound is called Gbomognoh, pronounced bo-mo-no if you didn't know, and is a fusion of funk, hip-hop, dancehall, reggae and Sierra Leonean sounds. Their brand new song, "Any Girl", is from their self-titled debut album which is due out in Spring 2011 via One Haven Music. Incredible talent contributed to their album including ?uestlove, Talib Kweli, Nneka and others.

This past weekend our friends at the Ponderosa Stomp put together an amazing tribute to the girl groups as part of the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival. The Saturday night concert featured a parade of great women singers, songwriters and producers who had taken over rock and roll in the early sixties – from Arlene Smith of the Chantels, who started it all with "Maybe," to Maxine Brown, Baby Washington, the Angels, La La Brooks, Lesley Gore and the Exciters. Also on hand to perform the backing vocals were women including Mikie Harris and Jean Thomas, who sang on countless sessions in New York in the girl group era, and Toni Wine, a great singer, songwriter, and arranger. And that's just a sample. The show closed with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Ronnie Spector delivering a thunderous performance of "Be My Baby," backed by the biggest and best army of backup singers ever assembled.
It was a soaring tribute to the era when women first broke into rock and roll. I was at Lincoln Center as part of the Rock Hall's outreach for the Museum's Women Who Rock exhibit. On Saturday I moderated a panel in the Girl Talk! Symposium that was a tribute to the late, great Ellie Greenwich. With her skilled songwriting and studio experience Ellie defined the girl group era. Seymour Stein made a surprise appearance and joined Ellie's sister Laura, Paul Schaffer, and singers Mikie Harris, Jean Thomas, and Susan Collins in a poignant, raucous conversation. It was a thrill to see all these rockin' women get their due.

Researchers recently concluded that working out can't compensate for a sedentary life. "While the studies are small, the data consistently suggest that if you sit still for prolonged periods during the day, even if you are exercising later, you are at higher risk for health complications including obesity, diabetes, heart disease and some cancers," reports Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Karolinska Institute/Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences.
"The main issue here is swelling of the lower legs, partly because of pressure on the undersides of the thighs," says Peter G. Snell, PhD, associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "I recommend a two- to three-minute walk every hour to get the blood moving."

Time for another festive tutorial: how to make simple felt Christmas tree decorations.
These ornaments are quick and easy to sew - perfect for beginners! They're also a great way to use up lots of decorative odds and ends from your stash - mix and match embellishments to create a whole set to hang on the tree.
You could also string them on some pretty ribbon to make a holiday garland, maybe with beads or felt balls or pompoms in-between the trees.
To make the ornaments you will need...
- the templates at the bottom of this post
- dark green felt, brown or red felt (& optional: yellow felt)
- matching sewing threads
- sequins, beads, ricrac, ribbon, mini buttons, embroidery thread, etc to decorate the trees
- narrow ribbon in red or green
- sewing scissors & a needle
2) Decorate one of the tree shapes. You could use sequins (sewing the sequins on with three stitches of green thread)...
... beads or mini buttons (sewing them on with a double thickness of green thread), or sew a pattern with some colourful embroidery thread (floss). I divided my floss (using 3 out of the 6 strands) and stitched overlapping stitches to create little star shapes.
You could also decorate the tree with scraps of ribbon or ricrac. Cut the trim so it overlaps the tree as pictured, and sew it in place with running stitch in matching thread...
... then fold the ends over and secure them in place with a few whip stitches (sewing into the felt but not all the way through it).
You could also cut out a star from yellow felt and sew it to the top of the tree:
3) Use running stitch and matching thread to sew the two trunk / pot pieces together. You only need to sew along three sides, as the top (not sewn) edge will be hidden inside the finished ornament.
4) Cut a length of narrow ribbon approx 5 inches (12.5cms) long. Fold it over to form a loop and sew it in position at the top of one of the felt tree shapes using dark green thread. Make sure you sew it to one of the "wrong" sides so the cut ends of the ribbon will be hidden inside the ornament when it's finished. Sew it in place with whip stitch, sewing into the felt but not all the way through it.
5) Hold or pin the two tree pieces together, with "right" sides facing outwards. Use dark green thread and running stitch to sew around the edge, stitching the layers together. When you sew along the bottom of the tree, insert the trunk / pot piece in between the two layers as pictured and sew across it, sewing through all four layers of felt to hold the trunk / pot in place. When you've finished sewing all the way round the edge of the tree, finish your stitching neatly at the back.
To print the templates - right click on the image and select to view it in another window or tab, then click again (if necessary) to view full size and print at 100%. I've added a scale so you can check if your templates have printed out correctly, but you can make them larger or smaller than mine if you prefer.
This tutorial is for non commercial use only. Please feel free to borrow photos if you want to blog about this project, but remember to credit me and link back to the original source, and do not reproduce my entire tutorial on your site. Thanks!

City of Wilmington Hosts Students for "Youth in Government Day"
Posted on 05/17/2013 3:04 pm
Ellie Veith, a student of St. Anne's School, served as the Director of Communications and Cultural Affairs for the City of Wilmington as a part of the City's "Youth in Government Day."
As the Director, Ellie was able to dine with the Kalmar Delegation from Sweden, in celebration of the arrival of the King and Queen of Sweden.
Check out Ellie's experience as the Director of Communications and Cultural Affairs read her letter sharing what it truly means to be a Director.
Letter written by Ellie Veith:
"Today I am the Director of Communication and Cultural Affairs. I came in here today thinking I would just sit in an office and do nothing, but that is so not what this position is about. I ended up going to Deep Blue for lunch which was pretty awesome. On top of all that I got to eat lunch with the delegation from Sweden!
They were all so nice. I met two girls about my age Moa and Ellen. Sometimes they talked in Swedish which was pretty cool even though I didn't understand a word they said. While we talked I learned a little bit about Sweden and saw some pictures.
In the pictures it looked so beautiful. They said that sometimes they got a lot of snow. Also that in the month of August they have a Cray fish party. One thing that surprised me was that none of the schools there have uniforms. (A lot of schools in Wilmington do.)
After learning all these cool things about Sweden it made me want to go there. So that is what Cultural Affairs is all about meeting with visitors in the city from other countries to learn about them and have them learn about us."

ZF-10728: Getting ldml/numbers/defaultNumberingSystem using Zend_Locale_Data
Maybe I'm missing something, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get ldml/numbers/defaultNumberingSystem using Zend_Locale_Data from the locale data files. I've checked over every line of Zend_Locale_Data::getContent() and Zend_Locale_Data::getList() and can't seem to find any way of doing it.
I could hack it in or write my own code to do it, but I hate having to do the former, and the latter seems like a waste of time considering Zend_Locale_Data has all of the fancy caching and processing built in.
I'm currently using 1.9.6, however it appears that Zend_Locale_Data is mainly unchanged between that version and 1.11.0
I can use the following code added to Zend_Locale_Data::getContent() around line 1149 (in 1.9.6)
{quote} case 'defaultnumberingsystem': $temp = self::_getFile($locale, '/ldml/numbers/defaultNumberingSystem', '', 'default'); break; {quote}
Implemented fix and unit test
Pushed code to trunk in r24139 Merged to release-1.11 in r24140

SKORA® is a new company with new vision and philosophy. This means that we can do things differently and are not in a position of trying to undo all the marketing and design practices that are the foundation of conventional athletic brands and products. At SKORA, we look at things differently We believe that running shoes should be built to encourage running performance that is as biomechanically correct as possible, with minimal interference. Our footwear lets people run naturally. Run Real is our philosophy and we stand by it.
SKORA was born from a personal search for a better product by Founder/CEO David Sypniewski. An avid runner, he became injured in 2001and started looking for a shoe that would not further aggravate his severe IT band issues. Traditional running footwear only seemed to make the problems worse. His search led him to the barefoot and minimalist running movement, at the time it was a small community. After taking up barefoot running with positive results, David soon looked for alternate footwear that would offer the same benefits, but provide some relief from the hot and rough asphalt of the Florida roads he ran on.
After finding nothing on the market to fit his needs, David began making his own footwear: running socks covered in latex rubber. Fast forward to 2007, and the real story of SKORA begins. As the barefoot movement begins to get some mainstream recognition, David sees an opportunity in the market to bring his vision to life. Based in Portland, Oregon, SKORA builds premium, lightweight performance running footwear that encourage a more bio-mechanically correct, natural stride. The distinctive look and feel of SKORA footwear is based on the function and benefit of a minimalist design philosophy we call Run Real.

Daytona police seek 3 in armed robbery of taxi driver
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 3:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 9:05 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Police are looking for three men in connection with the armed robbery of a taxi driver, an official said.
Thomas Doremus, a driver for All Florida Cab, was dispatched to the intersection of Cedar and Jean streets to pick up a passenger about 11:48 p.m. Monday, police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said in a release. A young man waved him down and asked to be taken to a liquor store.
He then asked to be taken back to a parking lot behind 517 Jean St., where he said his mother would meet him with money to pay the cab fare, according to a news release. But once in the lot, he reached over and turned off the car.
Two other men, one of whom had a firearm, approached the car. One opened the door, punched Doremus in the face and demanded money, the release said. The passenger demanded Doremus' wallet and stole about $50, along with the driver's computer.
The three suspects fled north from the scene. The passenger was described as 5 foot 7 to 6 feet tall and wearing black pants and a gray jacket. There were no descriptions of the other two men.

Tour of Amalfi Coast (excursions from Sorrento Hotel): Positano, Ravello, Emerald Grotto
The Amalfi Coast is popular in the world for its beautiful panoramas. It's 50 kilometres of coastline characterized by a number of pretty towns built between the mountain and the sea.
The unforgettable views and natural beauties (fist of all the Emerald Grotto), the chance to have fabulous shopping (mostly clothes and ceramics), some unforgettable monuments (as the Amalfi Duomo and Villa Rufolo in Ravello), the possibility to taste the typical local gastronomy: all this is part of a visit to the Amalfi Coast!
Starting from Sorrento you will reach on the way the following towns: Positano, Praiano, Furore's fiord, Emerald Grotto, Conca dei Marini, Amalfi, Ravello, Maiori, Minori, Cetara, Erchie e Vietri. The street is one of the most spectacular of Italy and of the world.
You can visit the Amalfi coast easily bye private car or scooter, by public bus, by "metro" of the sea (public hydrofoil), by Ciitysightseen buses (just till Positano), with a group tour with guide or by a private car with driver (all bookable through the reception desk).
Concierge suggestions: Touring the Amalfi coast means to visit a number of popular town, to enjoy beautiful panoramas and to discover hidden places. The most beautiful part are the first 35km of coast, from Sorrento till Amalfi. For a complete visit a full day is necessary.
Best way to see the Costiera is by an hired scooter (to have no problem with the parking) or with a car with local English speaking driver who can also explain you what you are going to visit and the best places to see to please your personal desires.

State Parks
Bash Bish Falls State Park
50 minutes/27 miles
143 East Street, South Egremont, Massachusetts 01258
In the southwest corner of Massachusetts sits a cluster of state parks noted for their spectacular scenery and breathtaking views. Situated high on a mountain plateau, much of this forest was once clear-cut between the late-1700s to mid-1800s, to produce charcoal fuel for local iron forges. Today, amidst the re-grown red oak-northern hardwood forest, the 4,169 acre Mount Washington State Forest offers 30 miles of trails over rugged terrain and wilderness camping. Hike the South Taconic Trail to the 2,250 ft. high summit of Alander Mountain for amazing views. Or follow the Appalachian Trail as it winds its way along the ridgeline and through Sage's Ravine. Springtime features include blooming mountain laurel and azalea, and in summer, a carpet of ferns.
Mount Greylock
30 minutes/14.5 miles
At 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock is the highest point in Massachusetts. Rising above the surrounding Berkshire landscape, Greylock offers panoramic views of five states. Acquired by the Commonwealth in 1898, Mt. Greylock was Massachusette's first wilderness state park, and was designated to preserve its natural environment for public enjoyment. A network of trails traverse the mountain, making its peak easily accessible by foot while offering more challenging climbs for the experienced hiker. A seasonal road also leads to the top, allowing motorists to enjoy the view.
October Mountain State Park
Within shouting distance of Eastover (and the echo confirms that!)
Eastover Estate & Retreat is cradled to the east by the October Mountain State Park. At 16,500 acres, October Mountain is Massachusetts' largest state park. (Legend has it that American author Herman Melville, whose home looked out upon this range of hills, anointed the area as "October Mountain.") This mountain range is criss-crossed with trails for year-round enjoyment, and includes the Washington Mountain Marsh Interpretive Trail, a portion of the Appalachian Trail, and a trail leading through scenic Schermerhorn Gorge.

For the better, I mean.
Instead, the planet is in far worse shape now than it was 41 years ago.
Earth Day did make the environment a political issue, though. And, maybe, slowly, it helped change the way we eat.
Organic farming, grass fed beef, backyard chickens, community gardens, local first organizations - they all grew out of that little seed of 70s consciousness-raising.
So celebrate. Here's where:

TEMPE – Seven members of the Arizona State University track and field program were named to the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic team, the USTFCCCA has announced.
Four women and three men earned the annual individual honor while both the men's and women's teams were named All-Academic Teams by the USTFCCCA as well.
CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-Americans Sarah Geren and Nick Happe led the way for the Sun Devils, adding to their seemingly ever-growing list of academic accolades.
The Pac-12 Scholar Athlete of the Year in both cross country and track, Happe recorded a perfect 4.00 G.P.A. in accountancy and graduated from esteemed Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State. Happe will continue his postgraduate work at the Notre Dame Law School beginning in Fall of 2013.
The St. Charles, Mo. native won the Pac-12 outdoor title in the 5,000 meters and also scored in the 1,500. Happe, who earned NCAA All-American honors in the indoor 3,000 meters, was the first individual in school history to post top-five indoor marks in the mile, 3,000 meters and 5,000 meters. He was a second team All-Pac-12 and All-West Region cross country performer.
Geren, a junior, holds a 4.00 G.P.A. as she works toward a degree in conservation biology with a minor in anthropology. She is also a student at venerable Barrett, The Honors College.
Geren was a member of 4x400-meter relay team that finished second at the Pac-12 Championships this season with a time of 3:32.53, the ninth-best time in school history. She also scored in the 400m at the Pac-12 Championships. She also earned second-team All-America honors as part of 4x400 relay indoors following 12th-place finish.
Also earning recognition from the USTFCCCA was Pac-12 and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship award-winner Constance Ezugha. The 2012 Pac-12 long jump champion also earned the Tom Hansen Medal of Honor from the Pac-12 earlier this summer.
Alex Hartig had the highest G.P.A. on the women's side, as the sophomore logged a 3.99 G.P.A. in accountancy this year while also scoring in three different events (shot put, discus, javelin) and the Pac-12 Championships.
The 2013 1,500-meter and cross country All-American Shelby Houlihan also earned a spot on the women's All-Academic team after posting a 3.60 G.P.A. in computer science.
For the men's 2013 CoSIDA Capital One All-Academic All-District VIII selection Garrett Baker-Slama earned is first USTFCCCA recognition with his 4.00 G.P.A. in kinesiology.
Pole vault senior and Pac-12 point-scorer Dylan Austin rounded out this year's selections with a 3.61 GPA in industrial design.
The men's and women's teams also earned recognition as All-Academic Teams as the NCAA Championships roster for both programs achieved a G.P.A. over 3.0 with the women posting a 3.17 cumulative G.P.A. and the men hosting a solid 3.09.
ASU's seven individual selections brings ASU's all-time USTFCCCA All-Academic individual tally to 103, all of which coming under head coach Greg Kraft.
To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either of the following athletic standards: for the indoor season, a student-athlete must have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or ranked in the national top 48 (collective listing) in a relay event on the official NCAA POP list provided by TFRRS.org; for the outdoor season, a student-athlete must have participated in any round of the NCAA Division I Championships (including preliminary rounds).

This is the start page for our series of over fifty Arduino tutorials. Each tutorial from chapter zero to thirteen will cover a variety of topics and lessons, then from chapter fourteen each chapter will cover a particular topic.
If you are looking to learn about the world of Arduino – this is a great place for beginners to start, or for more experienced users to brush up on their knowledge. Scroll down to read the contents of each chapter. New tutorials, lessons and other articles of interest are announced via twitter, Google+, RSS feed and by email – to keep up, subscribe using the form in the column to the right.
If you'd rather have a great book on Arduino – check out my new book "Arduino Workshop" from No Starch Press.
But what is it? From their web page:
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing,MaxMSP).
The boards can be built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under an open-source license, you are free to adapt them to your needs.
Arduino received an Honorary Mention in the Digital Communities section of the 2006 Ars Electronica Prix. The Arduino team is: Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe,Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis.
If you are shopping for your first Arduino board, please don't use an Arduino Leonardo – the pinouts vary and for some chapters of this tutorial the board will not work and is not supported here. There isn't anything wrong with the Leonardo, it just isn't fully backwards compatible with Uno boards.
Over semi-regular intervals you will find a new instalment of my tutorials. If you have not used the system before, please start with Chapter Zero! In the first few chapters of the tutorials we refer to the book "Getting Started with Arduino" by Massimo Banzi.
Technical support for the tutorials is available by asking a question in the Tronixstuff forum. After a few weeks I would hope that you have enough building blocks of knowledge to be able to bring your ideas to life!
Update – 04/02/2014: I have written these tutorials in a period spanning over three years. During this time several versions of the Arduino IDE have been published. I am endeavoring to update the tutorials so that they work with the latest Arduino v1.0.6 (or newer) IDE. In the meanwhile, you can run both v23 (old) and v1.0.1 (and more) on the same machine. Any tutorial noted as updated on 24/11/2012 or later works with the new IDE. Dates are in day-month-year format. Any questions – contact us.

Fatal car-bicycle accident closes Lefthand Canyon Drive
Submitted by David on
Looks like Christopher Loven has had issues with cyclists before. Here is an article form June of 2009:
BOULDER, Colo. — A Boulder County man accused of accosting a bicyclist in a weekend road-rage incident has been ticketed on suspicion of reckless endangerment.
The ticket, a class-three misdemeanor, alleges that Chris Loven created a "substantial risk of bodily injury to another person" by nearly forcing a cyclist into oncoming traffic. The charge is punishable by fines ranging from $50 to $750, and a maximum of six months in jail.
The incident that led to the ticket happened about 6 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Lee Hill Drive and Olde Stage Road. Loven said he came upon a cyclist in the middle of the road who refused to move over and then punched his truck after a verbal confrontation.
The cyclist claims Loven was driving aggressively. Sheriff's officials said a witness to the incident claimed Loven, not the cyclist, was the aggressor.
Loven, 43, will appear in a Boulder courtroom late next month. On Wednesday, he said he plans to fight the charge.
From the Daily Camera:
Fatal car-bicycle accident closes Lefthand Canyon Drive
By Erica Meltzer, Camera Staff Writer
Posted: 06/17/2011 12:24:57 PM MDT
Colorado state troopers are investigating a fatal accident involving a car and a bicycle in Lefthand Canyon.
Boulder County sheriff's dispatchers said Colorado State Patrol will be handling the investigation.
Trooper Heather Cobler said the accident occurred at Lefthand Canyon and Lee Hill drives just after noon. She said she believed the victim was the cyclist, but hadn't yet confirmed that.

Tough Intersection
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I was almost hit by a car pulling out and turning left from Old Stage, onto Left-Hand Canyon road. I was descending down the road, and the driver (elderly couple) did not notice me. One lesson learned, when I near that intersection, I slow down, in order to both give myself and vehicles time for all of us to react properly.
Not sure if there is a connection between the two stories (in terms of somehow indicting the driver as trying to run down the cyclist). However, if the driver was heading up Left Hand canyon, and given that he was likely stopped before turning onto Old Stage, I would speculate that the trailer behind the truck was hidden from the view of the cyclist, and the cyclist perhaps was timing his decent to pass around the back of the truck (only to realize too late that there was an additional trailer behind the truck).
However, given the history of the driver, it seems to me that this needs further investigation to determine whether the driver took on a more aggressive approach, and turned in front of the cyclist with the attitude of "hey - I am the bigger vehicle, who do you think owns this road" which so often permeates many drivers in this country.

Was this guy was hell bent on killing someone ?
Submitted by chris grealish (not verified) on
Several years ago I was riding east from the summit on Lee Hill Rd and this same guy tried to run me off the road. Believe me when I tell you that I was barely able to avoid him running me over. His dump truck said "Power Earth " on the door. I Did some research and learned he lived right at the top of Lee Hill Rd. Then a month or so later, Jim Mohan and Hugh Walton were attacked by this same guy on Valmont Rd. near the new bike park.
So now he has killed someone. He'll probably get community service, a fine, and probation. This may have been less of an accident than the DA will be able to determine.

Correct me if I'm wrong. The truck was coming up lefthand and turning left onto Old Stage, the rider was descending lefthand. If this is correct wouldn't the rider always have right-of-way? The driver would have to be at fault in this collision. Involuntary manslaughter at the very least, although the likelihood is that it was voluntary given his history of altercations with cyclists.

I think you have the accident scene correctly visualized. The driver will have the burden of proof trying and prove themselves innocent. What is the speed limit on Lefthand? I think it's 35mph. I doubt Eugene was going faster than that. Looking at the size of his road bike frame I have a hard time believing that Eugene was hard to see. My feeling is inattentive driver kills cyclist.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Loven was only charged in the first case b/c a witness corroborated the rider's story. Tragically, the DA doesn't even have the cyclist's side of the story this time, much less a witness.
In this case, Loven and/or his attorney will say he didn't "see" the cyclist, and call it a terrible "accident." I wouldn't be surprised if no charges are filed.

It is the time for Chris and others to come together and present their eyewitness accounts of being threatened by this driver. The DA will only be able pursue more serious charges if they have a documented clear pattern. The DA will have the 2009 incident, but the others must now come forward.

Dunbarton BlueFourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth. The result is Dunbarton Blue, a sort of blue-veined cheddar that's potent yet approachable. In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face. A unique and fantastic cheese from a true American cheesemaking family. Read More

Brew Bash (46 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Hi I'm Lori Baskin and I own LB Boutique (www.lb-boutique.com) a mixture of hand crafted items and photography. Follow me on FB {LB Boutique by Lori Baskin or LB Photography by Lori Baskin}
My husband and I love to throw a good party, but we haven't had the time since moving from Alaska. I thought this would be a perfect excuse to throw a party for Jonah's Birthday. The idea for a Beer Bash was because first my husband loves a good beer and we now live in Milwaukee, WI which has lots of breweries, a bar on every corner, and lots of CHEESE. I already had my colors in mind to be Mustard, Brown, Cream, and a Blue. Emma at Yellow Door Creative (www.yellowdoorcreative.com) designed the perfect invite for the bash. Taylour at Swoon Soiree (www.swoonsoiree.etsy.com) made my decoration dreams come alive.
I had been building up ideas on Pinterest (you can follow me at Lori Baskin ~ LB Boutique) since July of what I wanted to do for decorations. Swoon Soiree made all the fan circles and seriously took them to another level. Jonah helped me with the beer bottles (aka he emptied them). My Sister-in-Law Anissa wrapped them in twine and I added wheat sticks to the bottles (No flowers for this party, even though I love them I wanted to keep this as clean, rustic, & manly as possible:). The Birthday sign by YDC brought the table scape together. I flipped the invite over to use the beer bottle on the back as a pointing arrow. Alessia even helped with chalk board sign (trust me I had to erase her beautiful artwork ever 5 mins while I did this)
It wouldn't be a Baskin party without Beer Pong. I found this table on craigslist for $19 and it was the perfect look of rustic white (a little beat up from the college students, but what a great price). The winners of the Beer Pong received the BP Cup Trophies (I spray painted 2 candle stick holders white and hot glued 2 solo cups on top)
Our patio furniture couldn't have fit more perfect with the color scheme and made a great relaxing area to drink beers and snack on candy. Jonah was mad that I put the blue jelly belly's(we have a factory in Milwaukee that we have toured) at the bottom of the canister. Hello…did that on purpose so he wouldn't mess up the colorssometimes you have to out smart them!
I had first wanted to do a beer tasting party, but that turned out to be too much/my husband thought all the beers would go bad if they had to sit out too long (only he would think of that). I switced gears to incorporating beers from where we have been stationed with the Coast Guard.
We had the Alaskan Summer and Amber. You use to not be able to find this beer unless you were on the West Coast, let me tell you how excited Jonah was to find this right down the street from us in Milwaukee.
Riverwest and Fixed Gear are Milwaukee based beers from Lake Front Brewery.
HELLO can't forget the Root BEER Floats!!!
I picked up a Milwaukee based Sprecher Root Beer.
Where's all the food????
Thinking about all the beer that was going to be consumed, I wanted everyone to experience a little bit of Milwaukee and the local places in our neighborhood. A few of the items we had are; Pulled Pork Sandwiches from Milwaukee Smoked BBQ (they just opened a few months ago). Sweet Corn from the local South Shore Farmers Market. Apple Coleslaw from Sendicks a local super market (they have carpet on the floor, you feel so fancy when you go there). One item I didn't get pictured was the mini pretzel rolls from Mader's German Restaurant they didn't even get a chance to get in the oven to warm before the boys had downed about 4 of them. The amazing beer cupcakes were made by Jonah's boss Joe L. because they work in Food Service for the Coast Guard so why not use my resources. They were amazing and I was about to turn into a cupcake after eating so many.
POPCORN POPCORN POPCORN ~ Doug's Cowboy Kettle Corn Popcorn is by far the most amazing thing and for entertainment he yells YEEEHAWWW after each batch he makes (check out his site). I used simple white bags wrapped them with teal twine (try saying that 10X's fast…I bet you just tried) and used the Popcorn label from Yellow Door Creative. Simple but sweet Thank You's to everyone for coming to the Bash.
I know what you are thinking who serves water at a beer bash, but no lie we had only 1 lonely bottle left after the party…so thankfully YDC created the water bottle labels to fancy them up and keep with the color theme.
A photo booth is so simple to make at any party and you don't have to have a fancy backdrop. Just add a cute banner and some props and you are set! Swoon Soiree made the adorable photo props and pennant banner. YDC added the Photo Booth Sign. I used Martha Stewart Blue & Black Chalk Board Paint on the wooden plaques.

Until very recently, scientists thought that water could not exist on the surface of the Moon. With almost no atmosphere, the Moon is drier than the driest desert on Earth! Yet despite this harsh environment, scientists have discovered water in special places on the Moon - and there's much more than previously imagined! The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) uncovered strong evidence for water ice deep within the permanently shadowed regions of craters at the Moon's South Pole. The twin impacts of the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission confirmed LRO's findings by (intentionally) impacting the Moon's surface with the two sections of the spacecraft; the impacts blasted grains of mostly pure water ice above the lunar surface.

East Tennessee State junior Roseline Addo has once again been named the Southern Conference Track & Field Female Athlete of the Week.
Addo, a junior from Newbury, England, finished fourth in the Pepsi/Walker Invitational held Jan. 26-27 at East Tennessee State. Her time of 55.87 in the 400-meters set a school record and is only .87 seconds from an NCAA Provisional qualifying time. She was second among the collegiate competitors, finishing 1.1 seconds behind the top runner from Georgia. The top two finishers in the event were members of the 2000 US Olympic 4x400 team.
"We feel that Roseline is talented enough to move on to the next level. We are confident that she will qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships," said ETSU Head Track & Field Coach Dave Walker.
Addo will be traveling with the ETSU track & field team as they take part in the Clemson Invitational on Feb. 2-3.

Over the years he has exhibited an uncanny ear for talent, and by bringing that talent to the fore has served to advance the growth and development of rhythm & blues. His R&B stage revues and the numerous recordings made under his name have included such singing discoveries as Little Esther, Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton, Etta James and the Robins (who evolved into the Coasters). Beginning in the mid-Forties, Johnny Otis cut classic numbers including "Double Crossing Blues," (a ...full bio

ZF-3515: Http client should reset Slug header (set when uploading file using APP)
When uploading a file using Zend_Gdata_App's post() method, a Slug header is added to the StaticHttpClient's headers. If you use the same Zend_Gdata_App instance to POST an atom entry ("application/atom+xml;type=entry") afterwards, the Slug header is also included in this request. This may confuse the server into believing that the request wants to upload a binary file, instead of sending data.
Simple solution, add the following line to Zend_Http_Client's resetParameters(): if (isset($this->headers['slug'])) unset($this->headers['slug']);
This is not a Zend_Http_Client fix - Zend_Http_Client is generic and the resetParameters() method will not reset any service-specific headers or parameters.
I think this should be fixed in Zend_Gdata by doing this after the request:
$this->_httpClient->('slug', null);
Not a Zend_Http_Client issue.
Thanks Bruno and Shahar.
This issue was fixed for ZF 1.6 in r9846, as part of the code to implement secure authsub and refactor some of the HTTP handling.
Please see: http://framework.zend.com/code/browse/…
We set the header to null before any HTTP request in line 472, before setting the parameters for the new request.
Thanks for the report!
Cheers, -Ryan
Marking as fixed for the 1.6.0 release.
