We had the honor of designing the dessert and beverage stations for this baby shower. The mommy-to-be was a previous bride of our's and we are always thrilled to have fabulous, repeat clients. This was a really fun Jack & Jill (co-ed) baby shower with a picnic meets Americana theme. We are seeing clients move away from the over saturated baby theme and we love sneaking in little details here and there. The daddy-to-be calls the mommy-to-be his "button" so we tied in some button details as well. We hand crafted all the decor elements and made flavor tags out of paper medallions. The props are from our inventory and we got to debut our new flower cart piece which of course, we use for candy stations! We love and use Porch Pies any chance we get and each guest went home with one of their delicious, buttermilk pies. I also found this adorable "bun in the oven" favor box from Dry White Toast on etsy. They are personalized specifically for your event. We ordered little cutie cakes from Half Baked Co. to go in each oven.
We called upon Vanilla Bake Shop to bring our dessert dreams to life and of course, they did an amazing job as always. Southern Banana Pudding shots were a huge hit and they added edible button details to the Vanilla Bean and Chocolate mini cupcakes. We also used Raspberry Jamble and Peanut Butter bars and as requested, Red Velvet Cake Pops dipped in red sanding sugar. Mommy and Daddy went home with a mason jar full of their favorite candy.
For the beverage station we decorated mason jars that could be filled with iced tea or strawberry lemonade and displayed them on an old fashioned pie rack. The guests were welcome to take a mason jar home with them. Classic Coca Cola (dad's favorite), baby diaper decorated water bottles, beer, wine and belini's were also available.
This theme and color palette could easily be used for birthday parties, bridal showers and more. We had a lot of fun putting this together. I cannot wait for the little one's first birthday!

In a first-ever, epic collaboration, the six resident performing arts organizations of the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center (the Rose) will present an all-day "extravaganza" called The Rose Exposed on Saturday, September 1, 2012. The six companies represent the pinnacle of their art forms and span the worlds of dance, theatre, and music: Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation, Plan-B Theatre Company, Pygmalion Theatre Company, Repertory Dance Theatre, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, and SB Dance. Together, these companies comprise the Performing Arts Coalition. There will also be representation from Spy Hop, one of the Rose Wagner's frequent renters. Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center is located at 138 West Broadway (300 South) in Salt Lake City. Over 50 artists, performers, and teachers are involved in this celebration of the performing arts.
Adds Jerry Rapier, Producing Director of Plan-B Theatre Company, "So much of what Plan-B Theatre Company does involves community partnerships. We thrive on it. But what we haven't done, and what The Rose Exposed gives us the opportunity to do, is collaborate artistically with our neighbors at the Rose. It surprises me how frequently people refer to the Rose as 'that building across the street from Squatters' or simply don't know what it is. We need to change that!"
Free classes, activities, and performances suitable for all ages will be presented from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. At 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm, audiences can sample the upcoming seasons of the six companies in The Rose Exposed Variety Show for $10. Tickets are required for both free and paid events and are available at roseXposed.org.
Repertory Dance Theatre
Fun Movement Exploration Classes for Adults, Ring Around the Rose (and RDT performance demystifying dance for kids of all ages), African Class (Fast-moving West African movement to live drumming), an open rehearsal of Merce Cunningham's How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run, and a Movement Exploration Class for kids (they'll run, jump, skip, hop and freeze). Free.
Selections from Gamut. RDT dancers have used compositional devices employed by Merce Cunningham and many of his followers to develop a performance event called GAMUT. A "gamut" is a collection of movement material which is used to make a piece. Each RDT dancer had the opportunity to develop a movement section. Some are designed to be performed in a very exact manner and some give the performers choices or tasks to perform on stage. The order of the sections was determined by chance and the music was likewise assembled. The process is always game-like and is as fun for the dancers to perform as it is for the audience to watch. Variety Show.
Pygmalion Theatre Company
A full performance of The Mysterious, Happy Life of Brown Bag by Greg Near. A funny, poignant exploration of what it means to be different in a harsh world. It is a modern fable that tells the story of an unusual little boy who wants nothing more than to experience everything around him, including going to first grade and interacting with other children, in spite of his mother's fears and his teacher's misgivings. Featuring Barb Gandy, Georgia Gergersen and Bijan Hosseini. Directed by Lane Richins. Free.

SB Dance
Sport Yoga Class. Taught by SB Dance Director Stephen Brown, this class adds an element of agility to yoga. It's like Tai Chi meets yoga and incorporates moves like back shoulder rolls and handstand skipping. Definitely a workout, wear clothes to move in and bring water, a towel, and a yoga mat if you have one. All levels welcome. Free.

Matthew Greene's Adam & Steve and the Empty Sea will receive its world premiere as part of Plan-B Theatre Company's 2012/13 season. Free.

Eric(a) receives its world premiere as part of Plan-B Theatre Company's 2012/13 season. Featuirng Teresa Sanderson, directed by Jerry Rapier. Variety Show.
Gina Bachauer International Piano Foundation
Mozart's Piano Sonata No 16 (First Movement) and Swimming by SB Dance. Musician Arthur Schnabel described Mozart's piano sonatas as "too easy for children but too difficult for pianists". Possibly the most famous of the set of sonatas, this piece demands careful treatment to remain fluent and light. Constrained to "swimming motions" of the arms and torso, the dance is also deceivingly simple but achieving the full range of articulation is a butt-kicker, both mentally and physically. Pianist is Kary Billings. With SB Dance. Free.
Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf: A Musical Tale for Children. Featuring Kary Billings on piano and actor Jay Perry, directed by Christy Summerhays. About Peter and the Wolf: An interactive journey through the classic story of the hungry wolf, the ill-fated duck, the fortunate cat, the fearless little bird, and the brave and cunning Peter. With PLan-B Theater Company. For children ages 10 and under. Free.
An excerpt of Louis Moreau Gottschalk's Union, or Paraphrase on the National Airs. A grand piano piece by an American composer incorporating three very American themes: the Star-Spangled Banner, Columbia, and Yankee Doodle, with virtuosic and military flourishes. Featuring Kary Billings. Variety Show.
Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company
Lecture/Demonstrations, Parent/Child Workshop, and Movement Workshops. First, two Lecture/Demonstrations investigating the artistic vehicle of dance–the body, combined with dance-movement, exploring the elements of space, shape, time, and energy. Second, a Parent/Child Workshop, taught by Education Director Gigi Arrington, bringing together families for a one hour class of movement and problem-solving that is both empowering and fun. It is recommended for families with kids 4 and above, but young children are welcome. Finally, a Movement Workshop, taught by Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen (along with the Ririe-Woodbury Dancers) provides dance exploration for adults with some movement experience and is recommended for anyone above the age of 18.

Turf Choreographed by Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen. It is inspired by the idea of territorialism and how men and women approach the idea of space differently. Set to music by White Stripes and The Gotan Project. Variety Show.

Price: $19.95
Alone… in a cell… 23 hours a day… for days, or even decades. Today, tens of thousands of Americans are subject to what may be the most extreme prison environment ever designed. Although the effects of isolation are largely unknown, in prisons across the country, convicts are placed in solitary confinementcut off from nearly all human contact. Some say solitary is the only way to handle the worst prisoners, but others claim it amounts to psychological torture more cruel than any physical abuse. From prisoners on the edge, to scientists making finds that are changing our most fundamental notions of ourselves, National Geographic looks at the science of solitary and discovers what it means to be absolutely and completely alone.

ZF-9438: getDateTimeAttribute Null Check
I'm creating a ActiveDirectory extension to the LDAP classes and noticed this bug. In the Zend_Ldap_Attribute class there is a method getDateTimeAttribute(). If the value returned by getAttribute() is an array it should work fine but if it's a single value (specified by the index) then the method doesn't check if _valueFromLdapDateTime() returned null.
Basically, just need to add a check for "non" array attributes that if valueFromLdapDateTime() returns null to return the _original value and not null.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annalas Great value! Whether you would like to try blooming tea for the first time or simply want a good value, this tea is for you! It comes with four different teas (green, white and black) to give you a nice variety, and neither one is particularly strong. The flavors are subtle, even after steeping for a while. Many teas (especially green) have a habit of becoming bitter if steeped too long, but so far I haven't had a problem with this tea at all! Using the blooming tea is as easy as it comes, as well--simply add boiling water (or near boiling--hot water from a coffee machine works great!) to the ball in either a cup, clear teapot, or liquid measuring cup and watch it expand! December 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Liabear It's cool to see tea blossom If you are into tea, then you have to try blossoming tea in one point in your life. And once you do, it's hard not to get more of these things. If you go to a specialty store for teas, you know how much just one blossoming tea bulb is. And if you go to other places, the price per package is definitely more than World Market. So for less than $8, the refill package is not bad. One blossom can last multiple servings, but you should make sure to serve immediately or else it will become too strong (unless you like strong tea). Would not recommend leaving tea in teapot overnight. Also recommend having the see-through teapot to make this in as the whole point of this particular tea is to enjoy watching it blossom before consuming it. July 20, 2011

Right Said, Fred (aka I Do My Little Turn…)
So let's see…what happened today:
Twins jump out to early lead on Rays…Twins bullpen completely implodes and allows a grand-slam to Jason Bartlett late to tie the game…Jason Kubel hits a towering pop-up that hits the catwalk high above Tropicana Field and allows the eventually winning run for Minnesota to score and at least salvage a split on enemy territory.
Perhaps this is what happens when you build a domed stadium in Florida:
And then name it after an orange juice maker:

In August of 2012, senior women's basketball player Alli Gloyd (Phoenix, Ariz.) took a trip to Kitwe, Zambia for a wedding. She talks a little bit about her experience and African traditions.
Q. What was the wedding like?
"The wedding ceremony itself was very similar to traditional weddings in the United States. It was in a church and the only big difference was the photographers, because they would get really close to the bride and groom and people in the back couldn't see over them."
Q. What about the wedding reception?
"The reception was very nice. The bridal party entertains the guests. So months before we left, we started learning some dances and practiced them. For the reception, when they announced the bride and groom, we did the dance. And then did a couple more dances for the guests. It was outside in a nice little garden."
Q. What kind of pre-wedding activities were there?
"Over here we have bridal showers and over there they have something similar, but it is called a "Kitchen Party." Only women come and they have food there. It's kind of like a ceremony for the bride to her respect to the groom's family. And the families get together. And there is a LOT of dancing."
Q. What kind of dancing?
"They just dance. Moving their hips to drums. They have the drummers there and the ladies tie a 'kitenge' around their waist and they just dance."
Q. What was the food like?
"The food was different, but it was good. Their dish is called 'nshima.' To make it they put cornmeal in a pot and stir it—it almost looks like you're preparing grits, but it turns into this paste. They keep stirring it, adding hot water, stirring it until it gets thicker and thicker. It's a job to stir—your arm gets tired!"
Q. How do you eat nshima?
"You eat it with your fingers. You can pull pieces apart and put it on your plate. You ball it up and eat it with vegetables and any kind of meat. It's so good."
Q. What else differed from American weddings?
"For another pre-wedding event, a whole bunch of women came to the bride's house and everyone was outside in the huge yard making nshima. We were all out there making this big feast for the groom's family. The nshima was in a pot outside and found a stick and stirred it. Everyone stirred it and sang songs and danced while they were stirring. Inside, the women were also making vegetables, fish, chicken and a bunch of stuff.
"Once we were done making the food, about seven hours later, we loaded the food up on a bus and cars and drove over to the groom's family's house. The whole time we were driving, the windows were down and everyone was singing and shouting. Pedestrians on the street would also cheer, because they knew that we were celebrating a wedding.
"We took the food to his family's house. We were all wearing the same thing, we had a blue kitenge on and a baby blue shirt. Then we all had bowls and we put them on our heads. We all walked together, singing and shouting. We got to the gate and the family came out. They welcomed us by talking and hugging. After that, we were able to go into their home.
"There was a huge ceremony in the living room, the meal was laid out on a nice mat on the floor. The groom was sitting on the couch and all the ladies on the bride's side took the food to him and kneeled next to him. The rest of his family stood around us. Basically, we were just showing him the meal that his wife prepared for him."
Q. What other activities did you experience in Zambia?
"I got to go to game reserve parks, went to church. A game reserve park is like a zoo, but they build areas around the animals so that people can come watch them in their habitats."

A lover from another time...
When Ted Ennis steps out the doors of the Criterion Theatre for a cigarette and finds himself in Victorian London, he begins to doubt his sanity. At first he thinks it's all a film set, and is sure that the strikingly handsome young man leaning against a lamppost must be the leading man.…
What starts as a sordid transaction with a beautiful rent boy quickly turns into something much deeper, drawing him back again and again as he gets to know Jem and craves meaningful encounters with him.
But Ted doesn't understand the exact conditions necessary for his trips through time - and for Jem, time may actually be running out. Now Ted has one last shot to get back to Jem and save their relationship, before it's too late.…

"Can't even get through it to rate it!"
I tried 3 separate times to listen to this book. For some reason I couldn't listen to the narrator for more than a chapter and, even then, couldn't follow the story. I won't buy a book read by this narrator again. I advise listening to a sample prior to buying. I wish I had.
"Got my heart racing a bit, it did"
I don't usually get so caught up in stories. I hardly ever feel anxiety about the ending when I read a romance, since most romance publishers require a happy ending. This story is well-written and gripping, and feels different than the normal genre-conforming romance short stories I've read. I became so invested in the characters that I had to skip ahead to the end before I could continue with the story.
I think Ted is a great character, and much of the reason I felt so much anxiety during the story is it would be just as easy for him to break completely as it would be for him to find redemption. I also quite like Jem, and find him sweet, though he is not as convincing as Ted.
He did a fantastic job with the accents in the story, using slightly different tones and inflections for each character. It was a little difficult to get into his reading of the story at first, however, as his voice is not my favorite, hence the four stars instead of five. He's a talented voice actor, though, and I think most people will enjoy his reading of this.
Wish there had been more sex, but as the story is only about 3 hours long, I GUESS it was a reasonable amount.
"fantastic time trick"
I discovered this little gem on sale, didn't expect anything from it but suddenly there was this fantastic little time traveler story. so the unexpected trick was the great plot. the war veteran and the hustler. The older age of the story setting vs the even older times of 18th century. well written great characters that grew on me.
Ted . he was such a well developed character disabilities and all . the way he went from a bleak solo life to the brilliance of companionship and love.
truly was several.
ted of course. His character reminds me of a friend from long ago. One that should have had the life ted ended up with.
I really like the blend of the hero that rises from he disadvantages life has dealt him and even thru the painful struggles rises to a promising future and actively works to attain it. The narrator was amazing as well. Kudos
Ted's accent didn't suit his character. I have watched a fair bit of English TV and never heard that accent outside Shakespeare.
I thought the time travel aspect would be interesting, but it added nothing to the story. I got bored and skipped to the end to find out what happened.
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)

This report assesses the performance of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the course of the agency's first six years, examines the effectiveness of the three core immigration agencies within DHS—U.S Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
This report explores the proposed implementation of the Department of Homeland Security's new guidance which mandates employers who receive "no match" letters to determine the source of the discrepancy, take steps to resolve it within 90 days, and if this isn't possible, terminate the employee.
The culminating report of the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future.
New immigration legislation must include changes to achieve effective and resolute enforcement of the immigration laws. Because border and workplace enforcement have been addressed elsewhere, this policy brief offers suggestions for other key enforcement improvements that Congress should implement.
This policy brief examines the flaws in the United States' existing employer sanctions regime and proposes six types of reform that could strengthen the system: improvements to document security, document consolidation, mandatory use of employment databases, increased enforcement staffing, a revised penalty structure, and better worksite access for investigators.

Hi, I have now ordered a pair of ART DECO 8 which after a home demo was completly blown away.
My current system is Musical Fidelity KW500 integrated amp and also The Nu Vista 300 power amp(amazing power amp), before getting theART DECO8 I was bi-amping but now just using the KW500 as a pre, and Nu vista 3D CD player all wired in with Kimber Select ints & speaker cables.
I just want some reccomendation on a signifiant upgrade from what I have starting with the Amp, was thinking of classe pre & power but I think it may just be a side step rather than an upgrade, I have been advised that a Mcintosh top of the line Int will easliy out perform my MF combo? any thoughts?

I wasn't terribly surprised to see this box of Pocky Salt sitting on the shelf at my local-ish Japanese Market. Salt has been an "it" gourmet food thing for a few years now. Most major candy companies who consider even a little sliver of their product to be gourmet have tried it. Off the top of my head Lindt, Godiva, Michel Cluizel, Kit Kat (Japan), come to mind, but to list them all we'd be here all day. So seeing that Pocky is finally giving it a go, I say good for them. It's not a food fad that is over by any means, so I was happy to see them trying something new. I tossed the box into my shopping cart to take home.
The box is pretty and I like how they tried to make the box look "salty" by adding sparkles. It does give the effect of salt crystals catching the light and shining on the sticks of Pocky. It's fun, blingy and seems very Japanese all at the same time.
Inside the box there's two packets of Pocky. It's hard for me to understand how they decide on dividing the pocky sticks into packets. It seems every time I open a box of Pocky it's a different number of packets inside. I know it doesn't matter, but it does make me curious.
The sticks of Pocky look like normal Pocky. Slender with a coating of milk chocolate. I don't see any granules of salt on the outside, no covered up in the chocolate. I take a bite, and the flavor is pretty consistent to regular Pocky. You taste the sweet, smooth milk chocolate and the slight buttery vanilla flavor of the biscuit stick. It took me a few bites before I tasted the salt. I think it was on bite three or four when I finally got a hit of salt. It was as if a singular large chunk of salt was just sitting there, waiting for me. I took some more bites, to see if perhaps the first few were dudes. Again, I tasted nothing until I hit another single chunk of salt. Very strange. I mean, it's good, but in no way does it feel that the salt in this Pocky is evenly distributed.
I think, considering how infrequently I tasted the salt in this Pocky, that if you want to give a salted candy a try as your first time, this is a good candy for that. The salt is infrequent enough so that if you can still enjoy the candy, but you still get a taste of what the inclusion of salt is like. It's like a baby toe into the hot tub. Even as an experience salted chocolate eater, I still liked these. It's hard to go wrong with Pocky!

Baltimore County News
Fronda Cohen
Director, Baltimore County Commission on Arts & Sciences
Artwork is blasting out of local studios into Towson and landing in some pretty unexpected places: A radio station. A furniture store. A restaurant. A park.
The gallery scene in Towson offers both traditional and non-traditional exhibition spaces. Here's a snapshot of just a few of the many places where you can explore the work of seasoned and emerging artists. Most works are for sale, so you can add to your collection or make your first purchase of original art. You'll be enriching your life while supporting local artists.
- Towson Arts Collective's new Ellene "Brit" Christiansen Arts Center includes a gallery and classroom, plus room for artists to work in front of its street-level windows. The 3,600 square-foot space on 40 W. Chesapeake Avenue triples the size of their previous downtown Towson gallery. Works from Baltimore Watercolor Society artists are on view until October 25.
- Mosaic and mixed media visionary artist Loring Cornish inaugurates a new rotating exhibit space for local artists beginning October 24 at The Sofa Store on Cromwell Bridge Road atop Luskins Hill.
- World-class artists regularly exhibit at the Asian Arts Gallery at the Towson University Center for the Arts. Art Filipino: Works by Master Artists is on view through October 26.
- Goucher College's Rosenberg Gallery, next to the Kraushaar Auditorium, features the evocative nature paintings of Julia Sutliff: Sundry Moods through November 1. The Silber Gallery regularly shows contemporary works.
- The Holtzman MFA Gallery at the Towson Center for Fine Arts features Alexis Granwell: Traces of Remains through November 2. On view are large-scale etchings that suggest structures within evocative atmospheres and abstract sculptures out of wood, fabric, cardboard and other materials.
- Baltimore artist Charlie Barton's silk screen prints of local scenes are currently on display at Bread & Circuses Bistro on Delaware Avenue at Chesapeake.
- Atwater's at the Shops at Kenilworth exhibits a range of work by local artists.
- Visual and performing arts come together at the gallery at the WTMD radio studios at Towson City Center.
If you want to go very old school, stop by the Historic Courthouse gardens on Pennsylvania Avenue. You'll find a reproduction of Alexander the Great Cutting the Gordian Knot by 16th century Italian painter Giovanni Paolo Panini, courtesy of the Walters Art Museum's "Off the Wall" program. Okay, it's not for sale, but the museum just might have a post card you can afford.
Thanks to the creativity of our local artists and partnerships with local businesses, universities, and arts organizations, you never know where you might find inspiration.

Of Mice and Men
by John Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men Chapter 2 Summary
- George and Lennie arrive at the new ranch. In the bunkhouse, they meet an old guy named Candy.
- His name seems especially inappropriate since he is missing a hand, has bristly white whiskers, and an ancient dog that stinks.
- Candy gives George the lowdown on the ranch.
- The boss shows up and questions George and Lennie about their work history. George does all the talking, which makes the boss suspicious.
- He can't understand why George is looking out for Lennie, and, honestly, we're not sure either.
- George lies and says he and Lennie are cousins, and that they left their last job because it was done. (He leaves out that the job ended when Lennie was accused of rape/ inappropriate petting.)
- The boss leaves and Candy comes back in with his dog, who used to be a great sheepherder before he got old and stinky.
- (Excuse us while we take a brief detour into the mid-90s.)
- Okay, back now. Sorry about that.
- The boss's son comes in. He's a small-but-cocky tough-guy type and immediately sizes up George and Lennie as potential victims.
- He tries to engage Lennie in an argument, but George interferes.
- The boss's son basically does the equivalent of "LOL UR THE WORST." With that parting shot, he leaves.
- Candy explains things for us. The boss's son—named Curley because he has curly hair—used to be a lightweight fighter and now picks fights with every big guy he meets.
- He's gotten even worse since he married a "tart," who has "the eye" for every guy on the ranch.
- We're supposed to believe that Curley is now totally whipped. He's even taken to wearing a glove full of Vaseline to "keep his hand soft for his wife."
- With that parting shot, Candy leaves.
- George gives Lennie another piece of fatherly advice: avoid Curley like the plague—unless Curley actually touches him, in which case, kick his butt.
- And if anything bad happens, Lennie's can go to his safe spot near the river.
- Speak of bad things, Curley's wife enters the bunkhouse, "looking" for "Curley." Uh-huh.
- Unlike most other characters in the book, Curley's wife has no name, unless you consider "tramp," "loo loo," and "jail-bait" to be names. In that case, this lady's got lots of names.
- Lennie can't take his eyes off of Curley's wife, and she doesn't make it easy to put his eyes anywhere else, either.
- Slim, the "prince of the ranch" (about whom you will hear more later), walks by and sends Curley's wife on her way.
- Time for another lecture for Lennie's benefit: stay away from this woman.
- Lennie, with an admirable sense of self-preservation, says that he doesn't like this place—but they've got to stay until they can buy a ranch of their own.
- Slim now stands in the doorway.
- You get the sense that Steinbeck has a little bit of a man-crush on Slim: he's practical, tough as nails, understanding, highly skilled at his job, cool and calm, and still humble. Heck, we have a bit of a crush on him.
- In comes another visitor: Carlson, who asks Slim about his new litter of puppies.
- Maybe Slim could give one of these puppies to Candy as a replacement for his ancient dog, which stinks so bad it deserves to be shot. (According to Carlson.)
- At the mention of the word "puppy," Lennie starts wriggling with pleasure. Pure petting pleasure.
- If Lennie had a Tumblr, it would totally look like this.
- Curley shows up at the door (don't these people do any work?) looking for—you guessed it—his wife.
- He and George snark at each other a little, but no one whips out any roundhouse punches. Not yet, at least.
- The dinner bell rings. Thank goodness.

As talk of immigration reform stalls in Washington, interfaith leaders joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers in New York last weekend for the first-ever "Becoming America Congressional Pilgrimage."
Congressmen including Joe Crowley, Charley Rangel, Mario Diaz-Balart and Michael Grimm joined the pilgrimage to sites that accentuate New York and America's ethnic diversity such as Ellis Island, Gracie Mansion, the African Burial Ground National Monument, the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the National September 11 Memorial.
Leaders from the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths including Catholic and Evangelical communities welcomed all present.
A concern among many is that families that once worshipped together are now separated by U.S. immigration laws.
Catholic Charities Executive Director Msgr. Kevin Sullivan meditated in his remarks on verses from the Gospel of Matthew that advise "for I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me."
He also encouraged reaffirmation of the pledge made by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence.
"With a firm reliance on divine providence," he recited, "we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."

I think the first paragraph of this document show be helpful.
The Rabin reference at the bottom of the text is from 1978, and the impression I get from p3 of this document is that he came up with a linear iterated hash function in that 1978 paper. So maybe Rabin invented it.
I think we can be pretty sure it was either Merkle, Rabin or Yuval (if you must choose one), but that sounds like an answer correct for a good deal of history questions in this field.

|Night of Champions
The University of Idaho Vandals flexed their muscles Wednesday night as the football team wrapped up winter conditioning with its annual Night of Champions. A selection group from the team was selected to show off their might at the Vandal Athletic Center before an enthusiastic gathering.
"This event honors these players for their work," said strength and conditioning coach Jake Scharnhorst after watching the Vandals' tally of players to reach the 300-pound barrier in the power clean climb to 41. "Overall, our numbers are way better than in 2010."
Linebacker John McKinley, who missed part of 2010 with a broken leg, boosted 374 pounds in the power clean and followed up with 30 repetitions in the 225 bench press to lead both lifts. Defensive lineman/sometimes fullback Henry Asuega benched 410 pounds to earn that title.
The Vandals' winter conditioning consisted of four days of lifting and team runs twice a week - all to be ready for the March 24 opening of spring football. Spring drills will be Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from March 24 until April 23. The weekend sessions are at 3 p.m. with the Saturday practices at 10 a.m. The annual Silver and Gold Game is April 23 at 10 a.m. on the SprinTurf Field.

As many of you may know, I've always felt strongly about the Dells and their place in the history of rock and roll. This past Sunday, I attended a memorial service in honor of the passing of two-time Rock Hall Inductee John Edward Carter. It was a wonderful evening, but a very sad occasion. Best known as one of the greatest tenor voices in popular music, Carter was a founding member of the Flamingos and a member of the Dells – the longest running vocal group in history with virtually the same members throughout their career.
Carter's memorial service was held at Bethlehem Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Harvey, Illinois. The crowd that came to pay respect to the late singer overflowed from the church and into a side room where the two-hour service was also simulcast. Numerous personal tributes and proclamations were read along with several moving musical performances. Among one of the most memorable was that of Gerald Alston of the Manhattans, who performed "His Eye is on the Sparrow," a gospel hymn that brought the crowd to their feet singing in a joyous outpouring of emotion. An explosive eulogy was delivered by Elder John Holley.
The founding members of the Flamingos - Jake Carey, Zeke Carey and Paul Wilson along with Johnnie Carter, began their musical career in Chicago in 1952 at the Jewish Church of God and Saints of Christ. Having mastered the minor-key melodies of Jewish hymns, the influence of the church remained when the group began recording.
As his memorial service came to a close, friends and family from across the country continued to celebrate the life and legacy of Johnnie Carter over a meal together. It was a fitting tribute, one that will be remembered always. Thankfully, his voice lives on in the great body of work by both the Dells and the Flamingos.

United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: United Nations & Other IGOs
- Name: United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionInputs of the United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) put the concept of Sustainable Development definitively on policy agendas at all levels from global to local. It generated a series of important documents such as the Agenda 21, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Nevertheless, almost twenty years later, even though important progress has been made in several areas, the World still struggles to fully implement the decisions made during UNCED, which could steer humanity towards a more sustainable path. The two themes of the Rio+20 Conference (?the institutional framework for sustainable development and the green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication?) are important areas for advancing further the commitments made twenty years ago and their implementation. The two themes are not new in the discussions on sustainable development, both in theory and practice. However, they have not yet been incorporated in the mainstream political and economic discussions and actions. Thus, on the one hand, we expect that Rio+20 will encourage a stronger political commitment by countries, major groups and international organizations to the development of a credible institutional framework for leading us to a more sustainable development and steer the mainstream economy to a greener path that can eradicate poverty. On the other hand, we need more Innovation capacity to generate tools and mechanisms to transform broad concepts into practical results for advancing implementation of such commitments. The United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) is committed to contributing to the understanding of the solutions to key emerging issues of global concern in the area of sustainable development. Based on UNU-IAS?s experience, the capacity of societies to innovate locally is essential to generate viable global solutions. Thus, within the scope of the two main themes proposed for the conference, two points related to Innovation should be highlighted during Rio+20. The first point is to create mechanisms to identify and generate Innovative Solutions, both technological and institutional, that will have large positive impacts on societies. Those innovations have to cut across sectors and regions and lead to radical impacts on the way our societies use environmental resources and distribute its benefits. Incremental small changes towards sustainable development are still important, but only with more radical changes can we achieve suggested international goals, such as reductions in greenhouse gas emissions or preservation of biodiversity, in order to avoid future unsustainable paths. Thus, besides the effective implementation of individual projects and programmes, innovative initiatives with much larger impact are necessary. The second point is to create governance mechanisms that facilitate the dynamic exchange of knowledge and resources locally and globally to generate and diffuse the Innovative Solutions we need for radical changes. We have to create mechanisms that facilitate the development of local Innovation capacities in order to scale up innovations. As many of the solutions to global concerns emerge at the local level, we need local and global efforts to create the capacity to innovate locally and spread those innovations globally to those who need them. Local groups must be able to adopt the best technologies for their local needs, absorb new technologies and create the institutional mechanisms to increase their benefits. Thus, we need to understand global mechanisms that facilitate the diffusion of knowledge and resources to enable the development and dissemination of good local solutions to other localities in a fair, effective and efficient manner. An international forum or agency on sustainable Innovation that could coordinate the efforts to govern, promote, identify and diffuse sustainable innovations, both technological and institutional, would be essential to accelerate the implementation of the sustainable development agenda.

And then the Dolphins draft....
Then, they got a FB in the 6th. Really a FB? What's wrong with Lousaka Polite? Or maybe they want this guy to move to tight end? I have no idea, but I thought it was a bit of a head scratcher.
6 comments
No offense Dave, I visit your blog regularly and never post. I was just pissed at all the negativity that so-called Phins fans are ranting about on other blogs. The facts are that no draftee is a sure thing... you'll agree with me on that, I'm sure. How many stars are out there that were undrafted? Answer... a ton of them!! We filled immediate holes with the best rated people for those spots. The H-back/FB was rated a 4th rounder and is very versitile. The WR is a skinny 6'0" burner (not 5'7" like some of the other burners on the board were.) Pouncy is a must have... I wanted Mark Ingram, but this is the ONLY other pick I would've endorsed. As far as the other guys we selected, the Phins did their homework, and I hope they pay off.
None taken.
Believe me - I want nothing more than to have all the picks work out, and for the Phins to do good things. And as you may have seen in a previous post, I talk about what a crapshoot the draft is. You never know what will happen.
Pouncey may turn out to be great. But knowing the way the Dolphins management works, I am skeptical about how he will turn out.
So am I negative on the draft? You bet. We're a little better off, but still haven't solved our QB problem. And there are still holes on the roster. I know you can't fill them all in a single draft, but this is the hole they dug for themselves...
Long was a bonafide #1 left tackle. I don't think there was much doubt in his ability.
Pouncey is a good player, but there are many detractors. And typically a team does not draft an interior lineman that high.
As for Dolphins management, this was more about their recent tribulations. That first year, Sparano put together a tremendous offensive line. The second year, he turned over a few players and it wasn't as good, then this year, he turned it over again and it was pretty mediocre. He's a line coach - how does that happen? Is it him, or the players?

MX vs ATV Untamed (PlayStation 3) review
"That means that if you hate the MX moments, you'll likely despise the frequent stretches where you're forced to drive a motorcycle. The worst news of all, though, is that you have to clear each track twice consecutively within a series of events. Once you finish a race the first time, regardless of your position, you have to turn around and immediately play through it again (or exit out and lose your progress)."

Banana Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 15 12
Using extra-ripe bananas in this recipe ensures the cupcakes will be sweet and moist. The ganache frosting is made even fluffier with the addition of marshmallow creme. —Stephanie Lelo, Grand Rapids, Michigan
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (2 to 3 medium)
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 7 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons shortening
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in bananas and pecans.
- Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For frosting, in a small saucepan, melt chocolate with cream over low heat; stir until blended. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a small bowl; cool until mixture reaches room temperature.
- In a large bowl, cream shortening and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in marshmallow creme and vanilla. Add chocolate mixture. Beat until light and fluffy. Frost cupcakes. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.

Spectrograph Camera, Grazing Incidence, Skylab
This is the flight backup to the grazing incidence photographic spectrograph used on Skylab (Experiment S020). The spectrograph was mounted in the solar airlock of the Orbital Workshop. It recorded x-ray and uv solar spectra. An astronaut employed a small telescope mounted at the side to place an image of the sun on the entrance slit of the instrument. A thin metallic film blocked visible sunlight allowing uv and x-ray energy through to a large diffraction grating at a very shallow grazing angle. The resulting dispersed spectrum was recorded on photographic film. Dr. Richard Tousey of the Naval Research Laboratory was the Principal Investigator for this experiment. The instrument was transferred from NASA's Johnson Manned Space Center in 1982.

Don't redefine marriage
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 12:08 p.m.
Editor: Dear President Barack Obama, I sincerely hope this letter of writ reaches your office and desk. I as a black male am appalled and overwhelmed with your decision on gay/lesbian marriage issuing a letter to the United States Supreme Court in support of.
Moreover, speaking of being on the right side of history I'm reminded of having a conscience. Being president of these United States of America has a term limit of eight years if reelected while the term limit of your conscience has a lifetime even with bad choices made. I listened to you as you made your way to the White House and recorded most of your years of travel to get there. I remember reading in the newspaper of you in support of the traditional black family values and at that point felt the true meaning of why I voted for you. Then later on in your second term of election you chose the word "evolved" seemingly as a means to undermine and perhaps move to the left of marriage between a man and woman.
On the other hand, I found that (some scholars believe) there was a gay president by the name of James Buchanan, the 15th president of the U.S. (1857-1861), a lifelong bachelor. With that said President Obama I haven't found information that suggested he supported gay anything recognizing that he was indeed a man. It might be wise to say gay Mr. Buchanan respected marriage between a "man and woman" as an institution that should withstand and secure America from the harms that could bring this nation down.
In the meantime, I wish that you would reconsider your position in this matter and not condemn the already struggles of marriage and divorce and leave in place marriage as between a man and woman. Allocate a law that if two men or two women want to live together then let it be called "united" and let the separation of state laws, not the church, give benefits to those couples if they choose to do so. You are putting churches in jeopardy of lawsuits that are preachers of the true gospel when gays/lesbians want to get married, not "united."
You are also risking the decline of Christians to reach our already troubled youth society at a greater cost than the divorce rate as too many of them don't attend church. You are blinding a society that is seemingly blundering in the dark to find its way by pressing the U.S. Supreme Court to redefine "marriage" that recreates the gender of male and female.
Finally, Mr. President, I wish you well and hope that you will present this letter to the United States Supreme Court justices while I'm not in a position to do so unless so ordered. Please do not crucify marriage.

I have been trying to pair my NXT to several Android devices with either Android 4 or 2.3. However, all devices were unable to pair with it.
Pairing from the Android devices showed that pairing succeeded, but the devices never showed up in the devices tab on the NXT. Trying to find and pair to the Android device from the NXT would found the devices, but pairing always ended saying UNSUCCESSFULL.
Does any of you have any idea as to why this might happen? I've been able to pair with a 2.3 device before.
I've tried LeJos versions 0.8.5 to 0.9.1, but none solved the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

BUBBA II., fresh out of the oven from KG-GunKote.
I ended up with a somewhat bubba built AMD65. It was on a older OOW/ITM receiver. Soft with a few dents and an odd optics rail.
No 922r parts and an oddly fabricated AMD65 original brake that was hand extended with braze welding? it appeared.
Rattle can paint it appeared and a bit of cant to the trunnion/receiver rivet work.
I pulled it apart from the old receiver., I already have AMD's so I decided to fab it up in a bubba style.
The buttstock is a micro-Galil folder welded to the AMD65 pivot block.
The charging handle is welded up to clear the folder stock.
The muzzle attachment/extension is Tantal.
FSB/GB is from the IO offerings.
Front furniture is some Russian set I purchased in a WTS section on line.
I want to fab up a selector extension so the safety can be released with the stock folded. Not as easy as I first though in order to get it to clear the carrier path when engaged. Still thinking on that.
The right side required shortening the rear long rivet heads and the selector pivot outside domesd area and a little inletting on the stock.

See action pictures from the 2006 - 2007 Freed-Hardeman University Lions basketball season.
I found a lot of time and energy on my hands after leaving the coaching ranks. While on a vacation I picked up a camera and have never looked back. Today I hardly go anywhere without a camera in my hand. I started shooting my kids sports, moved in High School, College and Professional Sports. Today I enjoy a wide array of photography from Professional sports to portrait work. Over the years I have aquired so many photos but became frustrated with no place to display the photographs I had taken. I started looking for a publishing company in which I could place my photos in a book and display. I took a chance on Blurb and produced a book of my family photos from a one year period. That book is still on a table at my lake house. It is the first thing that everyone picks up when they enter the home. Your book will be one that you will wish to place in a prominent place so that all entering your home will see!

Rated 4 out of 5 by redroses Elegant tea carafe I've been enjoying this gorgeous tea carafe for a few months now. This is a tea carafe meant for use with loose leaf tea although you could use it with a tea bag and chuck the strainer. I have used it with teas from teavana and my go-to tea Twinings English Breakfast loose leaf that you can find in a tin at Cost Plus. It works great if used correctly. I believe the loose leaf tea should be added to the bottom of the carafe and then the hot tea is added and the strainer attached. This way the tea can bloom without being constrained and when you drink it, the strainer keeps the leaves (that have now plumped up) from leaving the carafe. I've also done it with tea first, then strainer, then hot water but sometimes the strainer prohibits the water from pouring nicely down into the carafe. If you're going to add sugar you can add that when you add your tea. The bottle is gorgeous, the 10 oz size is perfect for tea, and the double wall makes it possible to hold it without burning your hands. May 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by victoria I love this thing! I use this tea carafe first thing in the morning and sometimes all day! It makes a great cup of tea by steeping the tea 3 minutes in the metal basket and that's it! I drink straight out of the carafe, put the lid back on and it keeps it warm. Comes out of the dishwasher perfectly clean. March 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by GreenTeaRex Can't beat the price but there are problems It pains me to complain about something that's so incredibly cheap. If you threw away the infuser and just used it as a glass, travel bottle it would be perfect and still ridiculously inexpensive. The problem with the strainer is that it's very shallow (as another reviewer mentioned) so when the tea blooms, it's difficult to find the strainer handle under the pile of wet tea. Also, if you're brewing steeped tea it's best to fill it with water then put the strainer and tea in, then close the lid and invert. The problem with this is that the strainer is metal and incredibly hot. I've had to use a fork both times to get it out. The holes of the strainer are also too big. I'm using a chopped tea and small flakes will slip through. Luckily tea leaves aren't harmful to eat and quite the opposite, they are very healthy for you. But I have no desire to drink flakes of tea. The Pros: I don't want you to think it's all bad. the double walls work like magic. Whenever I pick it up it feels a bit warm and I'm worried that the tea is already cool but I take a sip and it's still piping hot :) Also, it's gorgeous, doesn't leak, and is the perfect size (about 8 ounces of actual tea space). It would work better if the strainer was twice as deep and mesh instead of the holes. But since this is not the case, I would suggest full leaves, tea bags, or placing fine tea in a tea bag. I also might try using a mesh tea ball instead. It's not like you're going to actually brew the tea on the go with a limited steep time because where are you going to put the wet leaves? In a cupholder? I do really love this glass and I hate to complain but it just doesn't do a good job for what I purchased it for. December 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by k-money beautiful but the basket is too shallow love the design but trying to brew tea in it is an exercise in futility. you can only fit a tiny bit of looseleaf in it, and then when you try to get it out it is impossible to remove without spilling the leaves all back into the glass. and forget about trying roobios... it just goes straight through the big ole holes. because i love the way it looks i have been looking for another one elsewhere similar to this design but they all have the shallow baskets. do tea drinkers not actually use the mugs they create? i don't get it at all.

A New Day in WVC
Forget what you think you know about West Valley City. You're going to have to abandon those stereotypes of a hick town known for crime, big trucks and big hair. Over the past decade, new development has given the city a sense of place, and now SLC's scrappy little brother is growing up fast.
West Valley City planners are looking to be at the forefront of the economic recovery, giving residents a reason to stay in town for dining and fun, and eastsiders to make the drive 20 minutes west. At his State of the City address, Mayor Mike Winder announced a plan to make the city the most business-friendly in the state, calling for what he terms the "West Valley City renaissance."
At the center of this movement, the Valley Fair Mall is undergoing costly renovations, and across the street nestled near City Hall and the West Valley Central TRAX station, the city is constructing Fairbourne Station, a multi-use city center with everything you would expect from Utah's second largest city.
A few blocks southeast, West Valley City landmarks The Maverik Center and Hale Centre Theatre remain huge attractions. Minutes west, Granger High School is being rebuilt, and it's expected to be one of Utah's largest. Other developments are springing up all over the city.
The main focus of growth is near Constitution Boulevard (2700 West) and the city's main street 3500 South. For the first time since suburbs Hunter and Granger fused to create the city in 1980, West Valley City will finally have a place to call "downtown."

Raynaud's phenomenon or, simply, Raynaud's, is a disorder characterized by decreased blood flow - usually to the fingers, and less frequently to the ears, toes, nipples, knees, or nose. Vascular spasms usually occur as attacks in response to cold exposure or emotional upset.
Raynaud's can occur alone or may occur with other diseases. The diseases most frequently associated with Raynaud's are autoimmune or connective tissue diseases, among others, such as the following:
The exact cause of Raynaud's is unknown. One theory links blood disorders characterized by increased platelets or red blood cells that may increase the blood thickness. Another theory involves the special receptors in the blood that control the constriction of the blood vessels are shown to be more sensitive in individuals with Raynaud's.
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases have different risk factors.
Although these factors can increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop a disease, while others develop the disease and have no known risk factors.
But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
There are certain diseases or lifestyle choices that can increase a person's risk for developing Raynaud's. These risk factors include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
There are no specific laboratory tests that can confirm a diagnosis of Raynaud's phenomenon. Instead, diagnosis is usually based on reported symptoms. Your physician may perform a cold challenge test to bring out color changes in the hands.
Specific treatment for Raynaud's phenomenon will be determined by your physician based on:
Although there is no cure for Raynaud's phenomenon, the disorder can often be successfully managed with proper treatment. Treatment may include:
Individuals who first experience Raynaud's phenomenon in their 40s may be tested for an underlying disease. The primary form of Raynaud's is the most common type. It is less severe, and few people with this form develop another related condition.
