Ricoh Introduces Prime Lenses and Weather-Sealed Flashes for Pentax Cameras
Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation (the company formerly known as Pentax Ricoh) just announced five new prime lenses and two new weather-sealed flash units for Pentax DSLR Cameras.
Five New Prime Lenses
The K-mount, HD Pentax DA Limited series lenses include a 15mm f/4 ED AL, 21mm f/3.2 AL, 35mm f/2.8 macro, 50mm f/2.8 and a 70mm f/2.4. Lens barrels, hoods and caps are constructed of high-grade aluminum and the glass is treated with an HD coating to help reduce flare and ghosting. (That little red anodized marking on the front of the focus ring indicates the lens is treated with the HD coating.) Additionally, each lens is designed with a rounded diaphragm to optimize bokeh. All lenses will be available in silver or black in September.
- 40mm f/2.8: $550
- 15mm f/4: $700
- 21mm f/3.2: $700
- 35mm f/2.8 macro: $750
- 70mm f/2.4: $750
Two New Weather-Sealed Flashes
Ricoh imaging also introduced two flash units for Pentax interchangeable lens cameras: the AF540F GZ II and the AF360F GZ II. Like the Pentax medium format 645D and some Pentax DSLRs, the flash units are weather-sealed. With the addition of an LED, the flash units can produce a constant source of light for video and stills. The LED can also be used to produce catchlights and as an AF assist light (with updated firmware on the 645D as well as most K-series DSLRs). Nine custom flash functions, wireless flash and a host of other features are available on both flashes. Powered by four AA batteries, the flash units will ship in September.

Although football season and school are both just around the corner, Salt Lake's music calendar still retains its hectic, mid-summer pace. And while some of this weekend's options are less than stellar, there is plenty to choose from depending on your music tastes. Let's review them, shall we?
Thursday night has a couple of sterling options - albeit in totally different realms. At the Twilight Concert Series, funky dance partiers Ghostland Observatory headline one of the few Pioneer Park gigs that I'm genuinely excited about. As always, the show is free and music starts at 7 p.m. with New York's Phantogram.
Check out Ghostland Observatory right here:
A gentleman who is an 85-year-old living legend and sitting near the top of a short list of all-time most influential guitarists hits the Gallivan Center at 7:30 p.m. King does a lot more story telling than he used too and spends less time making his trademark Gibson 335, "Lucille" cry and moan for all she's worth, but when he really gets after it, there's never really been anybody better. Tickets are $30 plus fees and are at smithstix.com.
The Pimps of Joytime return to The State Room for a soulful, funky show. Tickets are still on sale. A good time also awaits at The Urban Lounge on Friday when Tapes n' Tapes headline a gig with The Chain Gang of 1974 opening. Check out Tapes 'n Tapes right here:
Three generally uninteresting shows occur simultaneously Saturday in the form of Melissa Etheridge at Deer Valley, pop-country stars Sugarland hitting USANA, fresh off a tragic event in Indiana, and '80s Christian music icon Amy Grant singing at Kingsbury Hall. Etheridge tickets start at $40. To Grant's credit, her show is a cancer benefit so the $65 tickets is relatively understandable.
Sugarland tickets start at $25.
Saturday's most appealing option is likely the MarchFourth Marching Band at The Canyons in Park City. This is a free show and will be a guaranteed upbeat, good time. These guys have played The State Room earlier this year and apparently provided quite the fun evening. Here they are from 2009's Burning Man Festival.
The big ticket item of the weekend is Sunday night's rescheduled Adele concert, which will now be at Gallivan Center. It's tough to think of anyone having a better year in the music business than the 21-year-old British soul singer. She's gone multi-platinum and her release "21" has spent most of the year camped out atop the charts. Even with nearly 4,000 extra tickets made available, this gig sold out (again) in about an hour, I'm told. I'm curious to see Adele, pictured above, first-hand, but am equally stoked to see Wanda Jackson sing for the second time this year. The 74-year-old Oklahoman leveled a State Room crowd back in March and I can't wait for another dose of rockabilly, yodeling and the irresistible fun and feistiness that Jackson provides. Also, your tickets for Adele's cancelled show at The Depot show back in February will be honored. Music starts at 7 p.m.
Also Sunday, up-and-coming singer Brandi Carlile hits Red Butte Garden. Carlile's proven she can draw big time at The State Room, and it'll be interesting to see if this mid-season add-on gig at RBG also sells well. Ivan and Alyosha open the show, which starts at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $30.
Here's Brandi's video for "That Year."

I actually like the last look the best. My hair would be perfect for this style. I think I'll try it!

I have very straight hair that now is a bit shorter than I would like. The summer means up away from my neck as I have to walk everywhere and that means heat and sticking to me. I have to say, that I have not heard of a salt spray or was it sea. I can say, the sea water does wonders for my skin and hair. I do have a root volumizing spray and will try it this year. I found that when I once got a perm, the hair may have been easier to be off the face. Just don't like the process of chemicals on my hair. The braiding of the hair also will work if your hair is long, it adds body and was a good look if you have time.

I wear this look but I get it with "hot sticks" and shaping spray. I use a freeze it to hold .Lighter if I want it to blow in the breeze.

looks are cute, but in the summer heat, i feel like they all won't hold up. i like the pinned back bangs and the tousled/beachy looks best.

La Monnaie ¦ Concerts ¦ 4 Seasons 4 Elements ¦ Intro
4 Seasons 4 Elements
A danced concert: this is how the project was imagined by choreographer Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola, one of Sacha Waltz's favourite dancers, with the virtuosos of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin orchestra. The programme includes two instrumental works of colourful exuberance: Les Éléments by French composer Jean-Féry Rebel – baroque big bang in which the melodic material arises gradually from chaotic noise – and Vivaldi's Le Quattro Stagioni – musical fireworks which transform and combine the four elements according to the seasons. Set to movement, the musicians compose ephemeral, playful and poetic scenes as they perform, while Juan Kruz Diaz de Garaio Esnaola orchestrates and embodies the images in a flurry of dead leaves and snow. Since its creation in 2007, 4 Seasons 4 Elements has been universally acclaimed.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Allergan will make Molecular Partners a combined up-front payment of $62.5 million as part of two new agreements centered on the discovery, development, and commercialization of DARPin® (Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein) therapeutics for treating serious ophthalmic disorders. Molecular Partners could receive up to another $1.4 billion in aggregate development, regulatory, and sales milestones, plus tiered royalties on future product sales. Last year Allergan negotiated exclusive global rights to Molecular Partners' Phase II-stage VEGF-targeting DARPin candidate MP0112, which is in development for treating retinal diseases including wet AMD and diabetic macular edema.
One of the two new agreements gives Allergan an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MP0260, a dual anti-VEGF-A/PDGF-B DARPin, as well as backup compounds for treating exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and related conditions. The firms will work together to develop MP0260 through human proof-of-concept studies, and Molecular Partners has the option to subsequently co-fund Allergan's costs for downstream development of the product in return for higher future sales royalties.
The second deal takes the form of an exclusive discovery alliance through which the partners will collaborate on the design and development of DARPins against targets implicated in serious eye diseases. Allergan retains an option to exclusively license up to three resulting compounds for ophthalmology. Upon exercising an option, the firm will pay Molecular Partners an option fee and take on responsibility for all subsequent development, manufacturing, and commercialization activities.
"With Allergan we have found the ideal partner to generate a strong pipeline of DARPin-based drug candidates with the goal to treat retinal and other severe ocular disease," remarks Christian Zahnd, Ph.D., CEO at Molecular Partners. "This significant expansion of our agreement together with the fast progress in the ongoing Phase IIb development of AGN-150998/MP0112 is a great validation of the DARPin approach."

A 22-year-old Harrington woman was arrested Saturday after allegedly trespassing and making threats.
Kierra Mohr went to a home on Cozy Court that she is prohibited from visiting, causing a resident there to call police, Harrington Police Department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode said.
While being taken into police custody, Mohr reportedly began cursing at officers and threatened to harm a resident of the home, which was occupied at the time by three children between the ages of 1 and 7.
Mohr is charged with terroristic threatening, third-degree trespass, disorderly conduct and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
She is being held at the Sussex Correctional Institution in default of a $500 secured bond, Brode said.

Track & Field Concludes Competition at Raleigh Relays, DuPage Invite
March 29, 2014
Raleigh Relays
CHICAGO, Ill. – Fourteen members of the men's and women's track and field team traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina this weekend to compete in the Raleigh Relays hosted by North Carolina State University.
"We had two great performances in the 5K as Lauren L and Tess came up with big efforts," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "Lauren cut 25 seconds off her previous best and Tess broke the SR with an amazing effort. These two have busted their tails the past three weeks and the results show their dedication."
The women were led by junior Tess Ehrhardt who finished the 5,000-meter run with a time of 17:11.18. Teammate Lauren Lindholm also ran the 5,000-meter crossing the finish line in 17:41.35.
Junior Rebecca Zaiter participated in the 800-meter and 1,500-meter run finishing in 2:13.31 and 4:37.30, respectively.
The men were dominated by freshman Kyle Hauser who ran the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:56.00.
"Kyle H continues to amaze me with his performances," said Knoedel. "The 59.5 last lap shows me he still has a lot left in the tank. He's one of the most talented milers I've coached and I would not be surprised if he breaks the school record in the 1500 meters very soon."
Teammate Seyi Ogunleye also competed in the triple jump finishing with a mark of 14.06 meters.
DuPage Invite
The remaining members of the Flames track & field teams ran at the DuPage Invitational hosted by the College of DuPage.
UIC's Jordan Banks took home top honors in the men's long jump with a mark of 6.65 meters. Banks also placed second in the triple jump recording a mark of 13.36 meters.
Teammates Neel Patel and Marcus Garcia competed in the 5,000-meter run against 20 runners, crossing the finish line in 15:52.70 and 16:17.63, respectively.
On the women's side, junior Gabrielle Schmidt took second in the 100-meter hurdles crossing the finish line in just 16.44 seconds.
Teammate Stephanie Sanders also placed second in the 1,500-meter run crossing the finish line with a time of 5:05.80.
In the field, Desirae Ranberg placed second in women's discus throw with a mark of 34.89 meters.
Noelle Williams and Ranberg placed first and third in the hammer throw with marks of 46.20 and 37.13 meters, respectively.
In women's high jump, Sharon Mwale took home first place after leaping 1.55 meters.
The Flames return to action April 5, when the teams compete in the Marquette Triangular and University of Chicago Invitational.

Mitt Romney's running mate has had a little trouble keeping track of his running.
Politico reports the Republican U.S. representative from Wisconsin said during a radio interview that he had run a marathon in "2 hour[s] and 50-something"), but Runner's World magazine unearthed the 1990 race results that show the vice presidential candidate actually finished in "4 hours, 1 minute and 25 seconds."
Sarah Palin, John McCain's running mate in 2008, finished a marathon in 3 hours and 59 minutes in 2005, edging out Ryan's time, according to the political website. The congressman did run a bit faster than Oprah Winfrey, who had a marathon time of 4 hours and 29 minutes in 1994.

Saint Elmo Castle - Naples
The first mention of the imposing fortified structure which dominates the city of Naples from high on the nearby hills dates from 1275 when the fortress was the seat of the family of King Charles of Angiò.
In 1329 Robert of Angiò decided to enlarge the fortification and commissioned the Senese architect Tino di Camaiano to head the project.
Between 1537 and 1547 the castle was reconstructed by the viceroy Don Pedro of Toledo and here it took its particular star shaped structure with six points.
It became a compact and strong castle which protected the city under the auspicies of Pedro Luis Escrivà of Valencia, one of the periods most noted military architects.
In 1604 the structure began life as a prison for political prisoners and, afterwards, as a prison for military prisoners until 1952.
In 1976 rebuilding began which lasted seven years so that today the original structure is again visible.
Today, the Castle of Saint Elmo is a multifunctional centre offering art exhibitions, shows, concerts and a conference centre.
For these and other functions the castle is particularly well suited as it offers breathtaking views of the city and Bay of Naples.

Call of the Wild
THE PARTY Almost 700 guests attended the Goodman Theatre's jungle-themed gala at The Fairmont Chicago, which raised more than $1 million for the Goodman's Education and Community Engagement Programs. THE SCENE The evening kicked off with cocktails, exotic music and hors d'oeuvres—think tandori chicken sandwiches and lamb lollipops with a coconut macadamia crust—before moving to the majestic Imperial Ballroom, which Kehoe Designs had tricked out with lush tablescapes and a massive waterfall. THE HIGHLIGHTS A succulent meal of tamarind glazed shrimp, beef filet with spiced Israeli couscous and a round of decadent desserts was topped only by musical performances from Tony Award-winner Mary Zimmerman's musical adapation of the beloved classic The Jungle Book, now playing at the Goodman. Members of the cast performed seven songs, including favorites like "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You" (sung by Broadway legend André De Shields), as well as original arrangements prepared exclusively for the new production.

Make it a Triple!
Audemars Piguet has been scoring some serious points in the celebration department when it comes to its Miami parties. To usher in Art Week and its creative excess, the watch brand held three events with serious VIP appeal. First off was a preview of "Curiosity," a replica of a Swiss chalet by the artist duo known as Kolkoz, hosted by City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado and AP CEO François-Henry Bennahmias. Then came a cocktail party with Chinese actress Maggie Cheung, designer Nicole Richie and tennis ace Serena Williams. Closing things off was a VIP dinner at which folks like Lionel Richie, Marcel Wanders and Stacy Engman broke bread and partied late into the night. Just as worthy of mention is the setting of said celebrations: a dock next to the Miami Marine Stadium where the focal point was the aforementioned "Curiosity" structure. –Photos by BFANYC.com & Elizabeth Lippman

In 1987, Aretha Franklin became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – a fitting tribute to the "Queen of Soul," the woman who for more than 50 years has been the expressive, passionate voice of soul music. More than 20 years later, Franklin continues to be a driving force in the world of music, and I am thrilled to announce her as The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's 2011 American Music Masters honoree.
The American Music Masters series will honor Ms. Franklin with a weeklong celebration beginning on October 31, featuring special events presented by the Rock Hall and series partner Case Western Reserve University.
Aretha Franklin is a masterful singer, pianist, performer and arranger, whose catalog of recordings highlights a brilliant versatility that spans myriad genres: gospel, jazz, blues, pop standards, rock, funk – the list goes on. She constantly breaks down boundaries between styles of American music, revealing the connections between them, across generations. In the words of Princeton University professor Daphne Brooks, she has "reinvented the fabric of our musical culture." In the process, she has inspired millions of people around the world to sing, to speak, to climb higher mountains.
Last year, Columbia released an extraordinary box set of her albums from the first half of the 1960s, Take a Look: Aretha Franklin Complete on Columbia. This period, often overlooked in her catalog, reveals a talented young woman honing her craft in New York City. I'm still discovering its rich treasures. Then in May, she released her latest solo album, A Woman Falling Out Of Love, a powerful, joyous record. And just last week, it was announced that she would sing at the dedication of the memorial for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. later this month. I can't think of any other contemporary performer who can hold these threads together, and who symbolizes our deepest desires for freedom.

The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce a new exhibition in the Locals Only Gallery, "The Sublime Is Light and Easy-to-Assemble" by Venessa Gromek. The Locals Only Gallery is one manifestation of UMOCA's commitment to the local art community, ensuring that Utah artists always have a presence at the museum. Drawing on notions of the sublime in both nature and design, Gromek's "Tents" series addresses the intersection of the outdoor industry with the aesthetics of modern sculpture. Gromek reorients the purpose of a portable shelter by complicating its basic function, as these forms are neither enterable nor protective. Rather these porous and impenetrable structures elicit ideas revolving around abstraction, experimentation, and materiality, providing an innovative way to conceptualize how the great outdoors can influence contemporary art practice. "Tent design has advanced drastically in the outdoor industry what used to be tepees and simple triangular forms are now turning into complex shapes that are pushing the boundaries of the materials used," said Gromek. " creating sculptures constructed of tent poles and lace, I am countering the traditionally heavy and masculine sculpture seen in art history.
"Each sculpture's inherent relationship to a tent contextualizes them with landscape issues, while their form with issues related to modern sculpture; all of which are focused on providing a level of the sublime to the viewer," she said.
In this way, Gromek continues in the vein of a nonfigurative style that is reminiscent of twentieth-century artistic production, yet her sculptures also harken back to the dichotomy between craft and fine art. Stitched pieces of colorful fabric stretched across bending metal poles confuse the seemingly opposing contrast of needlework and workmanship, which is also a defining element of the artist's work. "Gromek invites new ways of imagining spatial relations that intersect histories of radical architecture with Unabomber couture," said Aaron Moulton, senior curator at UMOCA. "Confusing heavy-metal formalism and the ability to pick up and go, these deceptive forms detach a viewer from any sense of easy assembly or protection leaving a poignant address of our own fragility in the landscape." The UMOCA will host an opening reception for "The Sublime Is Light and Easy-to-Assemble" by Venessa Gromek on Friday, Jan. 4, from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. There will be a question-and-answer session with the artist on Fri., Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. The award-winning Utah Museum of Contemporary Art exhibits groundbreaking artwork by local, national, and international artists. Four gallery spaces provide an opportunity for the community to explore the contemporary cultural landscape through UMOCA's exhibitions, films, events, classes, and presentations. Founded in 1931, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art has been recognized as Best Museum in the State of Utah for 2011 and 2012 and is a four-time recipient of funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation. Located at 20 S. West Temple; open Tuesdays through Thursdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Fridays from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m., The museum is closed Sundays and Mondays. Admission is free. For more information call (801) 328-4201 or visit www.utahmoca.org.

This month, in remembrance of the tragic Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton decisions, that legalized abortion in America throughout all nine months of pregnancy, numerous pro-life events take place in Washington and throughout the nation. I hope you will be participating in some of them.
Even some people who support abortion are against Roe v Wade, because it took away from the people in the states the right to vote on abortion policy in their own state. Even the most pro-life states, with legislatures and governors eager to protect the unborn children of that state, are deprived of the ability to pass such laws, because of Roe v Wade.
I have no doubt that we will see the day when these decisions are reversed. Let's continue to work and pray for that goal!

The 1987 release of Guns N' Roses' debut album, Appetite for Destruction, was a pivotal moment in rock history. With Guns N' Roses – vocalist Axl Rose, guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler – rock music rediscovered its edge, rage and sense of danger. Guns N' Roses rank alongside a handful of hard-rock bands with punk-rock attitudes – including the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and AC/DC - that shook and shocked the world.
Guns N' Roses formed in Los Angeles in 1985 and Appetite for Destruction, which was released on Geffen Records two years later, would ultimately enjoy a 147-week run on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1991, Guns N' Roses released two volumes of Use Your Illusion on the same day. It was a remarkable outpouring of music, totaling 30 tracks on two CDs. Use Your Illusion I and II each sold 7 million copies and reached Number Two and Number One, respectively. By 1997 only Axl Rose remained from the original Guns N' Roses. However, a rather stable lineup has existed under his leadership since the late Nineties and released Chinese Democracy in 2008.
Here, the Rock Hall suggests 10 essential Guns N' Roses songs ...
Today, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announces its inductees for 2012, and the inductees are:
"We are pleased to announce this year's Hall of Fame inductees, who represent the broad spectrum of artists that define rock and roll," says Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "We are also thrilled this year to again be partnered with HBO, who presented the Hall of Fame's 25th Anniversary Concerts."
The 27th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on Saturday, April 14, 2012 in Cleveland and premiere on HBO in early May. The 2012 ceremony will again be open to the public, as it was – for the first time in the event's history – at the 2009 Inductions in Cleveland.

Well, at least, write a Math exam. I wrote my last one last month, so unless I fail- of which there's no danger of- I never will have to do a Math exam again.
I'll kind of miss it though... it was one of my easiest subjects, especially lately. I didn't like it too much in the middle for a while, but I really loved it later on.
So yeah- I'm almost halfway through my engineering course. What's been up with you, PD?

Granola-To-Go Bars RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 3-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sunflower kernels
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped dried apples
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350°. Combine oats and almonds in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 15 minutes or until toasted, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, combine egg, butter, honey and vanilla. Stir in sunflower kernels, coconut, apples, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir in oat mixture.
- Firmly press into a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 13-18 minutes or until set and edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 dozen.
Reviews for Granola-To-Go Bars
"These totally fell apart. The only substitution I made was to use raisins instead of apples... And I let them cool completely before cutting. I got about 6 bars, a couple inch sized pieces, and lots of crumble... it does taste good and I'll use it on yogurt I guess, but not making it again!"
"I'm the one who wrote about stirring? I didn't read it right the first time! But, today I made a pan and they came out beautifully! Cut into sharp edged bars without crumbling and I waited (too long!) for them to cool before cutting. Very good! I had 3 bars before stopping! I will definitely make these again? soon! I will also be trying other additives, so many options out there. Thank you for all the great recipes!"
"Haven't tried the recipe yet, but wanted to clarify on the comments about "stirring and baking". ONLY the oats and almonds are to be baked at stirred, according to Step 1 in the recipe. Step 3 is to press all the mixed ingredients into the pan to bake the bars. Hope that helped!"
"As a rule, I do not like any Granola or Health bars. But these are delicious. I sometimes substitute raisins for the dried apples. 130 calories per bar is great, now if I could only learn to stop eating at 1 bar. Easy to make, fun to make and delicious to eat. Try them you'll like them!"
"I just copied this to print and I think I see why so many have had crumble problems. the first paragraph says "stirring occasionally" ? the last paragraph says "press firmly into pan." If they are stirred during baking they will not be bars. I can't wait to get the ingredients and taste these!"

"The recipe says to bake 40-50 minutes , make sauce , put sauce on wings and bake another 45-55 minutes whic would be a total of 85-105 minutes baking time but the baking time at the top of the recipe is 45 minutes. Is the second baking time with the sauce wrong????"

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
Making a Water Garden in a Tub (page 3 of 3)
by Ann Whitman
Beyond the Basics
If you get excited about water gardening, try grouping several containers. Plant space-hungry cat tail, lotus, arrowhead, or water hyacinth in decorative containers, and arrange them to display their different heights and textures. Stack containers of mixed plants at different levels, and install a circulating pump to create waterfalls.
Also use multiple containers to grow plants with different needs. Water lilies, for example, prefer warm, deep, still water, but watercress needs cool, shallow, circulating water. Group the tubs in a corner of your deck or make them the focal point of your patio. Add a few potted palms to complete your tranquil retreat.
Edible Water Plants: Seven Choices for Containers
* Violet-stemmed taro (Colocasia esculenta 'Fontanesia', sometimes sold as Xanthosoma violacea). Harvest tubers from dormant plants that have grown vigorously during the previous season. Steam, bake, or fry the starchy tubers, removing the fibrous brown skin before eating. When cooked, taro has a mild, nutty flavor.
* Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis tuberosa). Harvest corms from dormant plants. Peel off the thick outer cover and slice the crisp, white flesh into salads and stir-fries.
* Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica). Pick young shoots and leaves from this vigorous vine, and use as a green vegetable in Asian dishes or as a substitute for spinach.
* Common watercress (Nasturtium officinale). Pick bright green leaves and small shoots, and add them to salads and sandwiches for a peppery flavor.
* Yellow pond lily (Nuphar lutea). Dig roots during dormant season in fall or early spring; scrub and add to soups and stews. Dry seeds in warm oven, and remove the kernels. Boil lightly, and serve like corn.
* Arrowhead or duck potato (Sagittaria latifolia). Harvest starchy tubers in fall when the tops die and the plant is dormant. Peel and boil or bake like potatoes.
* Cat tail (Typha latifolia). Collect yellow pollen to use as flour. Gather young shoots, and slice them into salads, or boil for 15 minutes. The green flower spikes can also be boiled for 5 minutes and eaten. After the plants become dormant, dig the roots, and harvest the sprouts of next season's growth; boil for 10 minutes.
Basic Tub Garden
For a container water garden about the size of a half whiskey barrel (or for every square yard of water surface), you will need:
2 bunches of oxygenating or submerged plants
1 water lily or floating plants that will cover 60 to 70 percent of the surface
1 or 2 bog plants for height (optional)
2 trap-door water snails (Viviparus malleatus) to eat algae
2 or 3 mosquito fish, goldfish, or guppies (each 2 inches long) to eat insects
Fill the tub with water, and let it sit for a day or two. Place the potted oxygenating plants and water lily on the bottom of the tub. Set potted bog plants on inverted flowerpots or clean bricks so that the water level comes just above the soil line. Wait two to three weeks before adding fish.
Remove dead leaves and plant debris regularly, and replace water lost to evaporation, but don't change any water. Within a few weeks, the aquatic plants will starve the algae, and the water should clear. If it doesn't, add another pot of oxygenating plants.

The Concise History of World Religions continues the Concise History series with an authoritative and comprehensive take on major religions and lesser-known faiths of all times and nations. No other text combines the illustration expertise of National Geographic with the historical focus on faiths—large and small—across the world. Up-to-date scholarship offers a unique global perspective on the history of faith in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania, and Africa and the Middle East. This is religion presented as history, in the objective manner in which the National Geographic Society excels. Lavish illustrations illuminate the faithful, their houses of worship, and the articles and artifacts of faith. From the great cathedrals to the colorful robes of Buddhist monks to horrors of the Spanish inquisition to the astonishingly intricate paintings of the Hindu gods, the illustrations tell as much of the story as the text.
There is nothing else quite like National Geographic's special Concise History series: The time line format combines geography, chronology, and subject area in one complete, but easy-to-understand grid. The 80 timelines with their more than 3,500 entries, plus short articles and feature spreads make it the perfect quick-dip reference. 110 sidebars amplify the illustrated time lines and highlight monuments of faith, words of religious transcendence, and lives of piety and sacrifice. 50 feature essays explore in detail the origins, development and influence of faith. 325 images document all aspects of the religious experience, from architecture and icons to exemplary individuals and acts of devotion. And quotes throughout chapters are drawn from prayers and sermons that embody the religious attitudes of each era.
The Concise History of World Religions is a fantastic journey with National Geographic, following the rise and fall of faiths across centuries and around the world. It's a book as beautiful as it is useful, as authoritative as it is entertaining.
The roots of religion lie in humanity's quest to comprehend the world and our place within it. How did we get here and what is the purpose of our lives? Is there an agency that controls them? Almost as soon as our ancestors became conscious of being human, they began to attempt to influence events in the world around them through magic. Some 30,000 years ago a prehistoric artist painting animals on the walls of Chauvet Cave in France added a curious figure with the lower half of a human and the upper half of a buffalo. Archaeologists suggest that this "sorcerer" may have played some part in rituals intended to ensure the success of the hunt; they believe that the cave paintings themselves probably had a similar purpose. Clearly, the com- munity that created the Chauvet paintingsthe oldest-known cave paintings in the worldbelieved in the existence of some kind of power that lay beyond the visible and the rational.
Such a belief lies squarely at the base of all modern and ancient faiths. Religion goes beyond magic to propose the existence of deities that have a direct influence on the course of human lives, for better or for worse. Not only that: faith depends on the belief that human intervention can change the behavior of these gods or spirits through pro- pitiation—the act of worship—or through right belief and good conduct. Over time, the rituals of worship have become highly complex. Some involve making the gods happy with offerings and sacrifices; others with hymns and prayers; others by confessing and repenting sins.
The precise nature of the first religions is lost in prehistory. From comparison with later "unde-veloped" faiths, however, they likely combined elements of magic with rites of supplication and invocation, possibly involving dancing and music. Such rituals were intended to help worshipers leave the confines of their own existence to come into contact with a more universal, supernatural level of being. Certain individuals who were felt to be particularly adept at communicating with the spirit world began to act as intermediaries between worshipers and their gods. Soon, these priests became the guardians of ritual and often the arbiters of acceptable and unac- ceptable behavior. The sites of worship, too, became more regular. Originally such sites were simply points in the landscape associated with the supernatural—a hilltop, say, or a particularly majestic tree—but increasingly buildings were constructed to house artifacts and images sacred to a deity or deities. As their design became more standardized, these temples became the focal points of worship; often they were the largest, most striking structures within a community.
Meanwhile, people began to explain elements of the world that they could not understand by telling stories about the actions of gods and goddesses. These myths mutated as cultures came into contact and their religions evolved, but the stories reflected the environments from which they emerged and came to embody the core values and beliefs of a people. In India, where the oldest of today's religions emerged between 2500 and 1500 B.C., there were many gods. The three major Hindu gods— Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—are all embodiments of aspects of the origin of every- thing: Brahman.
In the Nile Valley, the myths of the ancient Egyptians told of animal-headed deities who controlled various aspects of life but whose equally important role was to preside over the afterlife. For the Greeks, the gods who lived high on Mount Olympus resem- bled their own aristocratic rulers, who were patrician, flush with power and given to self-indulgence, feuding, deception, and petty jealousies. The Romans inherited gods not only from the Greeks but also from the outer reaches of their empire, including esoteric cults from the east.
Among the cults of the east were the beliefs of the peoples who lived in what would become known as the Holy Land. There, among the Judaeans, prophets preached the special bond that their rulers had made with the almighty: an exalted status as chosen people in return for acknowledgment of the one true God. This monotheistic faith—Judaism—combined belief with politics, a combination that has remained popular. Around the start of the millennium Juda- ism would produce another religion dedicated to only one God, but this faith appealed also to non- Jews: Christianity.
Meanwhile India had also given birth to another religion that would endure for many centuries; this time one without gods. The teachings of Siddhartha Gautama provided individuals with a set of moral guidelines by which to live and a goal that was not union with a supernatural deity but a state of being beyond happiness or suffering, known as nirvana. The faith later developed the idea of bodhisattvas, semidivine figures who helped believers accomplish their own nirvana. Like Hinduism, Buddhism incorporated the idea of reincarnation: individuals were reborn as higher or lower beings (even as animals), depending on their conduct during their previous incarnation, until the soul achieved a final escape. In the west, meanwhile, religions took their cue from the religions of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, arguing that death was the start of an afterlife in which the soul would receive either divine rewards in return for a good life or punishment for not following the path of right conduct.

Tomorrow, September 24th, marks the 20th anniversary of rock band Nirvana's release of Nevermind. Widely credited for bringing the Seattle grunge and music scene to the mainstream masses, the album has since sold nearly 30 million copies worldwide. Kathryn Metz, education instructor at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, recounts hearing songs from Nevermind for the first time and shares how the album continues to influence two decades later.
Let's be clear: I was a band geek for a long time. In some senses, I'm still that gangly kid who is all too familiar with Sousa repertoire and Mozart sonatas; I played the flute for 20-plus years. Raised on "oldies" and musicals, my parents always had a Rolling Stones, Supremes or West Side Story song on the record player. I learned how to play "As Long as He Needs Me" and "When I'm 64" with equal fluency as a Hindemith or Telemann sonata. On my own time, I religiously listened to Casey Kasem's Top 40 every Saturday morning, memorizing Janet Jackson and Kriss Kross songs. Occasionally, however, something else would bubble to the surface and pique my curiosity, tugging at another part of me, the part that relished a creepy tritone evident in Sondheim or later Beatles songs.
For instance, my cousin Tommy, a devoted Black Sabbath fan, introduced me to metal when I was 8 years old. I didn't entirely understand it musically, but I liked what I knew of the culture of it: the makeup, the black pants, the shaggy hair. At 10, a babysitter brought Fugazi to our house and once again, the music didn't get to me as much as the ripped T-shirts and homemade patches did. When middle school pal Cate played R.E.M. tapes at sleepovers, the complexity of their musicianship wasn't lost on me, but I still gravitated more toward the culture surrounding these alternative kids. When I first heard Nirvana's chart-topping single on Casey Kasum when I was 13, it was the seething gritty culture that sucked me in: the punk ethos devoured my Chicago suburban world, even at a Catholic school where some students "daringly" wore black nail polish and Chuck Taylors. I'm not entirely sure what I was looking for, but I knew that I would have to learn this music that so reminded me of Tommy's record collection and that babysitter's tape cassettes.
When I saved up to buy my own cassingle (remember those?) of Nirvana's "Come as You Are," I thought that maybe I should exchange my flute for the guitar but then again, the circulative licks that yanked me in reminded me a little bit of Bach. As I moved through the album, cassingle by cassingle (I had a small allowance), I was alternately thrilled and annoyed by the short, repetitive riffs, similar to the flute etudes (short, repetitive exercises meant to improve technique and tone) I practiced every day. The drums made me try my hand at headbanging in my room, moshing solo. I was one of those kids who donned her dad's old flannel L.L. Bean shirts and sullenly walked around the neighborhood (on a Navy base nonetheless) grooving to my Walkman even though I wasn't particularly depressed, marginalized or isolated, and I would come home to learn the melodies on my flute. But there was something about the dirty, messy music coupled with impossibly cryptic lyrics that came tumbling out of Cobain's mouth in an angry, affected way that made me even more enamored of the punk style and floppy hair that must mean something. To someone, somewhere. I was desperate for it to mean something to me.
Nevermind didn't change my life the way it did so many others'. But I was changed. It somehow made the fits and starts of non-Top 40 music that trickled my way more accessible, more relevant: I could finally hear Black Sabbath, Fugazi and R.E.M. in a way that made sense to me, and I could adopt that style that I craved. And that's the important thing that I think Nirvana did with Nevermind: They brought everything else to the surface, drawing ears to the music that we missed from Top 40, the music that would soon shape lives (or at least my life). Patti Smith, the Pixies, the Smiths, Television – Nirvana opened doors and stretched ears, helping make connections across generations of vibrant, visceral music and musicians that changed my life for the better. Twenty years later, as the Education Instructor at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, I get to use rock and roll to teach kids about the importance of American popular music, and sharing this music with our students – many of whom are hearing some of these songs for the first time like I once did – thrills me to no end.

ZF-4992: testIsLocale(Zend_LocaleTest) unit tests failure.
{panel} 7) testIsLocale(Zend_LocaleTest) Failed asserting that is true. {panel}
The issue is probably [ZF-4991] related.
I am unable to reproduce it with trunk.
I have changed unittests to set a locale when no locale is set in the environment. But this should not change the behaviour.
Can you please test it on your envoironment and bive some more informations ?
This is reproducible with 1.7.0. version, but only on php <5.2(i test on 5.1.6)
php LocaleTest.php
PHPUnit 3.3.5 by Sebastian Bergmann.

There were 2 errors:
1) testObjectCreation(Zend_LocaleTest) Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion /tmp/ZendFramework-1.7.0/library/Zend/Locale.php:885 /tmp/ZendFramework-1.7.0/library/Zend/Locale.php:189

FAILURES! Tests: 28, Assertions: 171, Errors: 2.
I think next lines can explain where mistake: http://php.net/manual/en/… :
It is worth noting that before PHP 5.2.0 the __toString method was only called when it was directly combined with echo() or print(). Since PHP 5.2.0, it is called in any string context (e.g. in printf() with %s modifier) but not in other types contexts (e.g. with %d modifier). Since PHP 5.2.0, converting objects without __toString method to string would cause E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR.
I think it's another issue which I've just registered - [ZF-5077]
Ilva, can you please review my comment on ZF-5077 and go further with your issue there ? I think it's already fixed.
Updating these issues to mark them resolved for 1.7.1.

Million March Against Child Abuse (MACA) is a non-partisan, grass roots, nationwide effort to raise awareness of the magnitude of child abuse, to educate the masses and ask our lawmakers for tougher sentencing in violent crimes against the nation's children. The walk is spearheaded by Lin Seahorn, Founder of Children Without a Voice (CWAV) (Pronounced C-Wave) out of Alanta, GA. "Children are the world's greatest natural resource and should be protected more than anything else on earth," stated Seahorn. "We have to break the Loading…silence around the magnitude of crimes against our children right here in the U.S., educate the masses, hold our lawmakers accountable for taking these crimes seriously and keeping violent offenders in prison where they belong. We are asking everyone to join us in the streets on April 22." According to CWAV, there are nearly 3 million reported child abuse cases each year. However, experts believe the actual number is closer to 9 million as most go unreported. At a recent congressional hearing, experts testified they believe nearly 10 children die each day in the U.S. as a result of child abuse. According to the group, one out of six boys and one out of 4 girls will be sexually molested by a close and trusted person before the age of 18.

Reviews for Sausage Skillet Dinner
"This was a big hit with my family! The only thing I did differently was use fresh red potatoes, parboiling them first."
"This became a new Fall/Winter favorite some years ago. I typically use fresh potatoes though, and as such, have to cook those in the skillet first, then add the sausage and so on as directed. The one con I found with this dish is it doesn't taste as good the next day, so I only cook enough for one meal. As is, the recipe will feed two adults whopping portions or a family of four normal portions."
"Was a huge hit with my husband and son. Easy and reminded us of a old fashioned German meal. Wonderful. I started the process on the stovetop and finished it in the oven til all the vegetables and fruit were tender."
"I was surprised at how good this was! I used a full pound of smoked sausage & used fresh russet potatoes. Next time I will steam the potatoes before adding them to the skillet as it seemed to take forever for them to cook. Otherwise, this is a quick & easy recipe."
"So easy and so flavorful!! I add thinly sliced carrots. This is even tasty without using caraway seeds, I have made it both ways and equally good."

Penn Social Learning Disorders Program
What are Social Learning Disorders?
People with SLD have trouble understanding nonverbal communication, such as body language and facial expressions. They may pay attention to objects more than people in general. They tend to look only at certain aspects of the face (i.e., mouth) instead of the face as a whole. These deficits often lead to social blunders - not knowing when to enter a conversation, talking too long, not picking up important social cues, not knowing how to respond to people. People with SLD may be diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Schizoid Personality Disorder, Social Phobia, or Nonverbal Learning Disorder.
Social learning deficiencies can affect school or occupational functioning and may make it difficult to find employment. Social isolation may also affect self-esteem and place added stress on family relationships.
Despite greater awareness of social learning disorders today, many individuals are not diagnosed until they are older. They need help developing strategies for dealing with the social world and life's demands.
What Causes SLDs?
SLDs are neurodevelopmental disorders of brain functioning in the frontal lobes and other structures involved in processing emotional and social information. People with SLD may also process language differently. They may be very literal in their interpretations of what is said to them and cannot detect when someone is using sarcasm or figurative speech.
For more information about our program, please call our intake coordinator at (215) 573-1159.

Do you see what I see?
One Christmas Eve back in the mid-90's I headed out to Kensington Avenue with my good friend, Shirley. She had called me a few days earlier to invite me on a very special mission. So, I said yes, as I was always ready for a bit of intrigue.
Packed in her trunk were about twenty gift bags filled with toiletries like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc. Shirley had prepared each bag with loving care and a silent, yet thoughtful, prayer went up as every one was completely filled.
Kensington Avenue is located in one of the ugliest areas of North Philadelphia known as the "Badlands". I used to live and work just five minutes from the strip. After dark, and after most of the shops along this street (covered by the Elevated Train track overhead) were closed, out of the shadows crept the prostitutes who were ready to begin their workday. Dressed in dingy, skimpy clothing, with tired and vacant eyes and slouching shoulders, each girl began her silent sales pitch.
As we began our journey down this dimly lit avenue, bundled up and tucked safely in Shirley's car, I could recall the words she spoke to me over the phone. It went something like this: "These girls just need to be touched with God's love. Who else is going to do it? We're His hands, Summer. I just want to make sure they know that God knows who and where they are, and that He loves them." How could I resist?
One by one, as we inched along the street, we gave the bags away with a few words of hope. I wish I could say that they all responded with immense gratitude and that many decided to walk away from their lifestyle. But, no miracle happened that night. None that I could see anyway.
But, the memory of that evening is branded in my mind. And I thank Shirley for the invitation.
In 2002, I helped start a ministry to prostitutes along the railroad tracks in Zone One of Guatemala City. I'm no longer with that ministry, but my husband and I have maintained a relationship with one of the ex-hookers I'd met there. Her name is Sheny, and she's HIV positive. She's got three kids and we help them throughout the year with food, clothes, school supplies, etc. Sheny's got a job, but only earns the equivalent of $200 a month, which barely provides for the rent, food and medication she needs to keep from dying too soon.
She's got quite the story, Sheny does. Her life history makes mine seem like a fairy tail – and I didn't have it easy.
I'm not tooting my own horn or patting myself on the back by sharing this with you. The truth is, it's a sacrifice for me to give of my money, time and energy. Oftentimes, I'd rather stay inside my cozy home and enjoy being with my husband and son. But, I'm always haunted by the fact that there are millions of people hurting in this world.
So I give.
I wish I could give more. I wish I could do more.
We have gifts nicely wrapped under the tree for Sheny and her kids this year. Nothing fancy, really. Just blankets and some toiletries. But, we're happy to give, because we know that through giving God's love is communicated.
Shirely's still living in Philly, giving of herself constantly.
How will you spend your Christmas? Will you give to someone in need? Who do you know that's hurting?
It's a challenge.
Don't do it to make yourself feel good or to ease your conscience. Give because you know someone needs it. Open up your heart and life and pour out kindness and gentleness and mercy.
Don't think you have anything to give? Everyone has something.
Our budget was extremely tight this year, what with the newborn baby and all. But, It's worth it to love someone else, no matter what the cost. So we'll be in debt for a couple of months. So what.
Merry Christmas!
(Originally written December, 2007)

Nursing caries, or tooth decay, can be caused by children sleeping with bottles. This is also called baby bottle tooth decay. It is caused when a child goes to bed with a bottle filled with milk or juice - anything except water. It usually affects children between the ages of 1 and 2 years. Breastfed infants who fall asleep while breastfeeding are also at risk.
The following are the most common symptoms of nursing caries. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
