Whitewashed town walls glowing on the Greek seaside, Alpine peaks towering above an Austrian meadow, lush Tuscan vineyards bathed in the warm light of sunset: These natural and manmade landmarks are as beautifully unique as they are quintessentially European. Add these and other scenic wonders from across the continent—from Russia to Spain and Iceland to Italy—to your desktop with this free panoramic theme for the new Windows, designed to span dual monitors.
A theme is a combination of desktop background pictures, window colours and sounds. All the images will be downloaded when you click Download theme.
This theme can only be used in Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows RT 8.1 and Windows RT.
Panoramic images will automatically extend across both displays of a dual-monitor setup if both monitors have the same resolution settings. If the displays are different sizes or have different resolution settings, a different image will appear in each monitor. Panoramic themes can be used on single monitor setups, but only the center part of the image will be visible.

Warm/Cool Top Complete
I love love LOVE this top! Thank you, Jeni, for your Warm/Cool Quilt-Along—I probably wouldn't have gotten around to making this without your QA. My girls love the top too. Miss E. is thrilled that we don't have to give it away. She's already had a good sit-down to check out all the colors and print motifs. Her favorite is the Sherbet Pips dog chasing his ball.
At the last minute I decided to take out most of the HSTs with purple. There were a couple of reasons for that decision—for one thing, I don't have very much purple in my stash, which meant that the colors weren't balanced. And for another thing, most of the purples I do have are fairly warm pinkish purples. So the purples just weren't working in the final layout, they diluted the warm/cool pattern, and out they went. (I did leave a few purples, like the Central Park print in the far right HST above.)
Working this many HSTs is not for the faint of heart, but here are my tips to make it a little easier:
1. Use a mechanical pencil to mark your diagonals. Somehow marking just seemed to go faster and was more accurate with a mechanical pencil versus a standard one.
2. Use a 4.5" quilt square for trimming your HSTs (or whatever size your finished HSTs require). Centering is vastly easier with a square. And if you don't have a 4.5" square, you could do what Elizabeth did and make one out of template plastic (just be sure to mark the diagonal for easier centering).
3. You don't have to stand up while you're trimming your gazillion HSTs! I'm embarrassed it took me so long to realize this, but just in case it hasn't occurred to you either, you can sit down while trimming—you just need a nice, low table. A coffee table might work, or I found that my daughters' little coloring table was the perfect height for trimming while sitting on the couch (I have a large ottoman in my family room instead of a coffee table, so I don't have that option). This discovery made trimming 266 HSTs much more tolerable.
I'm hoping to baste this one in the next couple of days and then try that FMQ again. Can't wait for this one to be complete!
I'm linking up to Sew Modern Monday.
P.S. Stay tuned - this afternoon I'll be posting the winners of my Boots fabric giveaway!

Gorgeous!!! 266 HSTs??! Wow! I'm making the twin size, so I think I only have 176....what size is yours?

Great work on yours! :)

LOVE THIS!!!! It really does look amazing.

Yours is so stunning, I like that you used primary/secondary colors.

You know, I tend to buy "warm" purples as well - almost to the point that I think of purple as a warm color. I bet it was painful to pull out the purples, but the finished project is thanks enough!

It looks gorgeous Lee! It will totally be a family heirloom.
And I know what you mean about purple... I tend to think of purple as a warm color too and maybe group yellow with the cools more - but I guess that is the deal with splitting the color wheel in half, there are always going to be colors on the edge that could kind of go either way depending on the shade.

here's a DL link for my addons & wtf folders: http://ge.tt/8ZjenwU/v/0?c
After you've renamed the folders in the WTF folder to your account name, server name and character name, use
in game to get the right profiles for most addons./reflux switch default
I think VuhDo won't get the right profile switched so you'll have to select the appropriate profile manually from VuhDo's options menu (profile is BASICUI)
I'm not sure how TellMeWhen manages profiles, all my characters work on the default profile but you'll have to tell me if the different buttons appear correctly or not.
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask if I can help out somewhere.
Just realized some textures are missing, if you want to add them manually jsut add the addon "Miirgui"

Anyone have something nice for pvp? Im mainly healing for arenas, but also for raiding. I really liked http://www.wowinterface.com/download...117&so=&page=2 because of the combat txt that shows whats going on ( on the right), and especially the icons that show your teamates CDs ( im not sure what addon that is). Unfortunately Its not available at 1600 by 900 resolution. I use LUI for a while and i liked that, but its not really what im looking for anymore. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks ^^

Shameless report from the main thread for my fellow healers!!
- Worked quite a bit on friendly and enemy nameplates since last version (based on DocsNameplates) and I find those friendly nameplates incredibly handy as a healer!
- Switched to WeakAuras also for my castbar and added a GCD bar (based on Touchy's tank UI strings) which is surprisingly nice to perfect the timing of instant cast spells
- Added a few auras overlapping raid frames to let me know when big off-healing cooldowns are up (Ancestral Guidance, Vampiric Embrace etc.)
and I probably tweaked a few other auras/panels/things around... (had to switch to BigWigs for this fight so the DBM artwork is obviously gone ^^)
Of course looking for feedback and critique as always
I'd love to add a bit more info to the mana bar/mana text to have a view of mana regen vs mana consumption in the last few seconds (kind of a healer's version of the tank addon evn talked about building some time ago that would show damage taken vs healing received in the last seconds) but I still lack some LUA skill and time for it :/
stupid youtube blocked the video of kayte's beautiful ui!

@PUSoftball Sweeps Columbia, Nets One Game in Ivy South Race
Following a twinbill sweep of Columbia Saturday, the Princeton softball team stands three games back of Penn in the Ivy League South standings with six to play.
Princeton pitchers Alex Peyton and Shanna Christian limited the Lions to one run over 16 innings in the doubleheader, but the Tigers fared only a bit better on offense, winning game one 3-0 and game two 2-1 in nine innings.
Princeton improved to 23-17 overall while Columbia fell to 20-20. The Tigers are now alone in second in the Ivy South, with Penn at 11-3 in league games, then Princeton at 8-6, followed by Cornell at 7-7 and Columbia at 6-8. Princeton and Columbia will meet again Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at the Class of 1895 Field while Penn and Cornell get together in Ithaca.
In the opener, Peyton (7-6) limited Columbia to four hits without a walk, striking out six. She retired 12 Lions in a row between the second and sixth innings, leaving Columbia runners at third base in the second and sixth innings.
Princeton put together the go-ahead run early, using a Lizzy Pierce double, an Alyssa Schmidt single and a Peyton groundout to go ahead 1-0 in the first. The lead became 3-0 in the third as Princeton took advantage of two Columbia errors to score twice. After a leadoff walk, the first error put runners at first and second, and on the same play as a Maddie Cousens RBI single, an overthrow brought home the inning's second run.
Columbia used three pitchers in the loss, with Emily Kenyon (8-9) taking the decision following three innings of work that saw her give up five hits and a walk, earning two of the three runs. Cousens, Kayla Bose and Nikki Chu co-led Princeton at the plate in the opener, each going 2 for 3.
In the nightcap, errors again were Columbia's ultimate undoing in a game where both teams squandered their share of opportunities. Princeton left 11 runners on base to Columbia's six, with five of the Tiger runners stranded in scoring position to four of those for the Lions.
Princeton again scored in the first inning, this time using singles from Rachel Rendina and Pierce followed by a Schmidt groundout to plate the second game's opening run. Columbia tied it in the top of the second, as Mackensy Lakian doubled home Kayla Shimoda, who was hit by a pitch.
That's where it stayed until the ninth. Princeton reached Cara Worden on a booted ball at shortstop, followed by Nikki Chu on a dropped fly when two Lions converged around first base. Princeton then loaded the bases when Tory Roberts put down a single that died in the saturated dirt in front of home plate. A four-pitch walk to Rendina decided it, and the Tigers won 2-1.
Christian (8-5) gave up five hits and a walk, striking out four while going all nine innings. Columbia's Brooke Darling (8-8) also went the distance, giving up 10 hits and two walks while no Tigers struck out in the nightcap. Peyton went 3 for 4 to lead the Tigers in game two.

The Highlights
Naomi Watts and her husband Liev Schreiber enjoyed family time with their children in the Hasbro Studio kids' tent. Meanwhile, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry put on a special performance that included hits like "Sweet Emotion," "Dream On," "Walk This Way" and "Mama Kin"—the latter of which guitarist Slash joined in on. Even Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber were brought to their feet. The afternoon paid off to the tune of $830,000 raised for the nonprofit organization.

June 25, 1999
SEATTLE, WASH. -- Scott Pelluer, a former linebacking standout for Washington State University and more recently a defensive coach for the University of Washington, has been named color analyst for WSU football radio broadcasts this fall.
"I'm extremely excited to work with Bob Robertson and to get back involved with Cougar football," said Pelluer. "My goal in the broadcast booth is to complement Bob and his call of the game as best I can. As they say, 'Once a Cougar, always a Cougar.'"
The decision to team Pelluer with Robertson was made by Broadcast Ink Sports Productions, the Seattle company that produces the 25 station Crimson & Gray Sports Network.
"We had a number of very talented individuals express an interest in working with Bob," said Broadcast Ink President David Iverson.
"We selected Scott because he will bring a fresh perspective to our broadcasts. Having played at WSU and coached successfully for several years, Scott doesn't just know the Cougars, he knows the game," said Iverson. "He also knows the league and is familiar with most of the players and the coaching philosophies of the Pac-10. We are counting on him to enhance the play-by-play work that Bob does so well."
A 1981 graduate of WSU, Pelluer started four seasons at outside linebacker for the Cougars from 1978 through 1980. He earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors his senior year and was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game.
Drafted in the fourth-round of the 1981 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, Pelluer went on to play six seasons of professional football for the New Orleans Saints.
Following his pro career, Pelluer moved immediately into coaching, mentoring linebackers and serving as recruiting coordinator at Boise State (1986-92). After a stint at Northern Arizona as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach (1993-95), he joined the Washington staff where he coached linebackers and safeties. The Huskies went to bowl games in each of Pelluer's three seasons at Montlake.
A third generation Cougar, Pac-10 football runs through Pelluer's bloodlines. Both his father and grandfather suited up in crimson and gray, while his brother Steve, quarterbacked Washington from 1981-83, and his youngest brother, Arnie, played linebacker at Stanford from 1984-87.
Pelluer joins Robertson who enters his 33rd season calling Cougar football games. Jeff Aaron of KJR-AM in Seattle will return to the broadcast for the sixth season as the on-field and locker room reporter.
Washington State football broadcasts air on the 25-station Crimson and Gray Sports Network starting an hour before kickoff.
The Cougars begin their season Sept. 4th hosting Utah at Martin Stadium.

If you could glimpse the passing parade of the last hundred years or so from behind a slightly raised curtain, you'd have a pretty good idea of what's going on in this richly anecdotal history of shoes. From the Mary Janes and T-straps that literally let flappers kick up their heels to the fitness-driven sneaker chic of the 1980s (there's a whole section on Jane Fonda); from the semiotics of stilettos to the subversive politics of Doc Martens, with their color-coded laces (yellow or blue could mean you'd killed a police officer); from the Mary Quant boots that jump-started the '60s to the magic of Manolos ("If you don't see the magic," Blahnik is quoted as saying, "stick to Reeboks"), Bergstein explores what shoes—in real life and in popular culture—have to say about status, sexuality, values and aspirations. And raises such burning questions as: How many pairs of ruby slippers did MGM have squirreled away, anyway? How did Audrey Hepburn, with her boat feet, really feel about being photographed in flats and little white socks? And: Why would any sane woman shell out $895 (as many did) for a pair of crystal-buckled blue-satin pumps, even if they were just like the ones that did for Carrie Bradshaw what the glass slipper did for Cinderella?

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lisa Nice, but not worth the price I had this shipped to my parents house because I live in an apartment. Thank God I did, because if this had to be picked up at the post office, I'm not sure I would have been able to! It is VERY heavy. I opened the box and with help, carried the larger pieces up one by one. I wasn't able to assemble it completely by myself. Some of the holes did not line up and I just didn't want to force them, so I hired a handyman to finish it. If you are a handy type person, I suggest you have someone help you, at least to turn the bottom portion over to screw the pieces together. It looks good now that it is assembled, but to be honest, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have purchased it. For what you get, it's really expensive and I had to add to that expense to hire someone to help me. And since I couldn't return it to the store, it wasn't worth spending the money to ship it back. Live and learn! December 14, 2011

A Couple Of ThingsSeptember 12th, 2012
First of all, I want to thank everyone who voted for me! Once again, for the sixth year running, I've won the Down Beat Readers' Poll in the "Best Musician In His Price Range" category! I couldn't be more proud than if I had great paying work! Here's to 2013….
Now, a list of:
1. Never address a police officer as "sport"
2. White men (speaking as one myself) should never, ever (a) wear baseball hats backwards (and, incidentally, unless you're in a softball team, have skin cancer, or are under six years old, it's probably a bad idea to wear them forwards, too) (b) do the "fist-bump" (or any other kind of "soul" greeting) and (c) dance to any kind of music (especially at weddings)
3. If you hang out, on purpose, at a "Chuck-E-Cheese" restaurant by yourself and you're over 18, you will eventually be arrested.
4. You should never take your shirt off at the opera.
5. A hospital emergency room is probably not the best place to break out that jar of marinated herring you've been longing to try.
6. While most dogs like to be petted, they do not like to be shaved (the same rule applies to my friend Chuck Redd)
7. The term "drive-through window" should not be taken literally.
8. Despite the many times you try to casually work it into your conversations, the word "Nipples" will never be accepted as an appropriate nickname by your wife.
9. When one wants to express one's overall delight to the guy in the next seat while exiting a funny movie or play, the proper expression is NOT: "I laughed so hard, I think I just shat in your pants!"
10. Important business meetings should not be interrupted by a "spontaneous" performance of "KP's Puppet Theatre".

""Half-A-Nitwit (Featuring DJ 'Rabbi' Benjamin Franklin)"
Facebook Fatigue and a Few Other ThoughtsApril 6th, 2012
Is anyone else getting just a little overwhelmed with the whole Facebook/Twitter thing, or is it just me (that's rhetorical – we're not on Facebook right now, so you don't have to really answer it, or, even worse, press the "like" button)? We spend so much of our time posting things about ourselves, or watching the endless parade of other people's posts, or watching for people's posts about us, it seems like there's no time left to – well…live! In the last few weeks alone, I've seen people congratulating themselves for the following things: finishing a book; cooking a meal successfully; taking a vacation; and, well, working like everyone else. Have we nothing better to do as a society than to post photos of our restaurant meals – it's like being trapped in a room watching a succession of holiday family snapshots, except you have to press a button every time to say you "liked" it, or, God forbid, everyone will stop "liking" your mind-numbing self -obsessed, self-reflective posts. When you're a baby, of course you're congratulated for your first bowel movement, but does everyone need assurance for everything once they move past that level*? This may be one reason America is in so much trouble – we've become a nation of infants, burying our heads in our toys and gadgets, hoping that the endless babble of the "net" will drown out our real problems. And with that, I have to go check and see if I have any new messages….
*(Guilty, your honor! But that's probably why I stand on a stage for a living waiting for applause….)
Questions???May 24th, 2007
It's time to answer my question pile – I've had literally tens of queries since I started these blogs, so let's begin:
1. What do you think of all these aging rockers still performing way past their prime?
Well, I've always felt that you're as old as you feel, unless you feel like Strom Thurmond, in which case, you're not only old, but dead…
I did see the Who recently in concert, and I couldn't help but notice that when they sang "Tommy, Can You Hear Me", there was a resounding cry of "What? What did they say?" from the audience, so it isn't just the band members getting older. But I have a question for you - what's the proper way to wish good luck to these elderly entertainers before they go onstage-
would yelling out "Break a hip" be too gauche? That would explain why the security people threw me out…
2. Are you a religious person?
I grew up Catholic, and used to attend the annual summer retreats, where we'd enjoy such appropriate fare for children as live crucifixion re-enactments, partaking of both the body and the blood of Christ, and, my personal favorite, being threatened with burning in hell forever for even thinking about a woman!!! When the head priest took me aside one day for a bracing game of "Pull my finger/That's not my finger" I knew it was time to leave the fold….
I did briefly convert to born-again Christianity when I witnessed an evangelical preacher turning water into Fresca – a miracle!!! The bubble was soon burst when I remembered that I'd eaten a rather suspicious plate of mushrooms earlier that day; later that night I was entertained by a vision – it was Don Rickles, warning me that someone was out to steal my left testicle, so I should always wear a protective "cup" (reallybad mushrooms!).
My last bout with organized religion was about ten years ago, when a third cousin, twice removed, of John Travolta's cursed me with gout for not making it all the way through "Battlefield Earth". Coincidence? I think not….
3. Who is your favorite Beatle?
This is easy – there was a man known as the "seventh Beatle"-he grew up in East Liverpool, Ohio, and went by the stage name of "Beppo". He could play the ocarina while simultaneously solving math problems, but, sadly, never met the other members of the group, as he died in a suspicious boating accident.
4. What was suspicious about it?
He was on dry land at the time….
5. What is the meaning of life?
If you're one of the millions of people who believe, like Forest Gump, that "Life is like a box of chocolates", then, my friend, you deserve to spend the rest of your life dining at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., a soul-less corporate restaurant created after a soul-less corporate movie about a moron spouting useless greeting-card epithets, a tradition of fake band-aid drivel which continues today with books like "The Secret" and anything that begins with "Ten Ways To…"
Think about it, folks – you have millions of people now reading self-help books, books on how to get rich, and the only wealthy people are the ones who write this stuff – and you're out the $25.00 that it cost to buy the book!
Let's do an experiment – I'll come up with an idea, starting with "Life is like.." and fill in the rest with the first thing I see, then I'll make a clever tie-in with some vague generalized principles that can apply to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Let's begin: Life is like – a can-opener, because you're always opening up something new; once in a while, you get a bad can, but your job is to keep opening until you find the things you like, etc.
Let's try another: Life is like – a salt-shaker; you just keep shaking until all the salt particles have left the container – so stop worrying, just live your life to the fullest until you've "seasoned" all around you, etc.
Got it? STOP BUYING THIS CRAP!!! There is no "secret" – we're probably a biological accident that was put here on earth by the right combination of chemicals smashing together, so enjoy your short time-span here and stop reading about how to enjoy your short time-span here! Try telling a young child stricken with poverty or disease that he's just not "visualizing" well enough…
I think Charles Bukowski had it right when he said , and I'm paraphrasing, that the secret of life was the same secret as the secret to his writing, which was "Don't try". Don't force it – stop thinking too much – don't worry, be happy – Oh no, here we go again – see you next time-

Bits and PiecesApril 16th, 2007
It's been awhile since my last blog (I feel like I'm back in confession!), but I've been busier than a butt-tick at a Speedo convention, so I'll have to catch up in a few installments. We'll start with:
So, I'm in Sweden, visiting my kids, Jeffrey, age 8, and Marty, age 6-we've seen "Pirates Of The Caribbean" Parts 1 & 2 so many times that I feel like I've definitely buckled my last swash . I decide to show them "The Mummy"-you know, the modern re-make with Brendan Fraser, kind of an "Indiana Jones" knock-off; funny, lots of adventure, and just slightly scary (or so I remember it). I explain to my boys all about mummies, ancient Egypt, etc., before we start the movie. They wonder if there's anything scary in it. "Well, yes," I say," but not more scary than "Pirates"."OK, daddy, let's watch it," Jeffrey says with those wide-open, innocent lamb-eyes. The movie begins-lots of laughs, excitement, the scene of the man being mummified, no problem, we're having fun, passing the candy back and forth, the movie cuts to a few hundred years later, more thrills, some laughs, they open the tomb, a beetle crawls under a man's skin, and this is where it gets interesting. I decide the visual just isn't enough, so, caught up in the excitement, I helpfully provide a descriptive play-by-play. "Look, it's going under his skin; now it's eating his heart; now it's crawling up—-IT'S EATING HIS BRAIN!!!!!!!"
At which point Jeffrey, on my left, bleats out, "Daddy, I think I'm going to throw up!!" Little Marty, to my right, merely bursts into tears, as I reach frantically for the remote to turn our little adventure off. Now, I'm not trying to turn this into anything but a classic example of "when good intentions go bad", but I do keep forgetting that my kids grow up in a small town in Sweden and aren't as inured to violence and jarring imagery as us tough Amurrricans…and I actually hope they stay that way for a long time…
Speaking of jarring imagery,here's today's trivia question:
How do you know you've rented a car in New York City? Give up?
Answer: When there's two vials of blood in the cup-holder (most decidedly not mine), they won't give you another vehicle, and the steering wheel shudders violently when you go above 10 MPH. True story!
Speaking of shuddering violently, I just finished listening to the rough mixes of my new CD-no, we kid the Poles!!!!Actually, I'm quite proud of this one-it started out as a duo record with myself and Greg Cohen, and became that and much more-there's lots of surprises on this one, not least of which is that I'm putting it out myself! Yep, I'm tired of seeing everything deleted faster than the Bush administration's e-mails, so I'm gonna own a few of my masters for a change-look in this space for further details….
And, finally, for now, we say a brief good-bye to Kurt Vonnegut.A couple of years ago, I played the clarinet part (as opposed to the part of a clarinet) in a fascinating production of Stravinsky's "A Soldier's Tale", with a new book by Mr. Vonnegut, based on the true story Private Slovik.
To our delight, he showed up to one of the performances,and to mydelight,complemented me on my playing (there was a jazz segment we did in addition to the 'straight' performance),and told me that,yes, evenhe used to play the clarinet , and inquired, "Do they still call it the licorice stick?" I don't really know if 'they' do or not, but God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, for your visionary works of art–you sure inspired a lot of us…..
See you next time! Ken Peplowski P.S. Thanks for the 'typing tips' go out to Jim Lawler (sincerely!!!); Jim responded to my last blog with this warm message: "Ken: Hit the space bar after each comma." Who knew????…….
My Day Part IIFebruary 28th, 2007
As I race through the lobby to the elevators,I'm accosted by not one,but two,"grippers" (an English musician's term for the kind of person that latches on for dear life and won't let go),a gentleman in his 90s who used to run a jazz party, and an elderly lady who is the bane of musicians and promoters alike. (She was once kicked out of a hotel for tripping a man with her crutches after he asked her not to block the aisle, and for breaking the lock open on the kitchen door at midnight – "well, I was hungry, and they didn't have room service" was her defense!). These two charmers actually talk simultaneously and overeach other in their eagerness to engage me,so it comes out like this—
Popeye:"You've gotten-"
Broomhilda:"What's wrong with your hair?"
Me-"Excuse me?"
P:"-fat.I said you're really-"
B:"I mean,it looks like you're losing hair. Are you going-"
Mercifully,the elevator doors open-I dive in and stab frantically at the 'close' button.I'm free-except for a couple standing in the elevator,who seem kindly enough,but have a habit of always bringing up my LAST marriage.Now,I've been with Kim for five years,but to many fans,you're frozen in their memories to some past time of their choosing-in this case,I'm still married to my Swedish ex-wife,and only have one son with her,an infant (who will miraculously be shaving soon!).
"How's that little boy?" Now,should I say that I'm re-married,have fourkids in total,my ex is living in Sweden with my two sons,etc.-No,that won't work,because then the elevator will turn into a scene from The Sorrow And The Pity,and I'll have to recount the whole divorce,the fact that my children are so far away,etc.,while keeping a sorrowful expression on my face throughout their solicitations of sympathy,and trying to reassure them that "No,actually,everything's allright now"….
Instead,I say,"Fine-thanks!"Oops-this backfires big-time,because their follow-up is:
"Your wife's English is amazing!"
Now,I want to reply that,although Kim grew up in Kansas City, and so her knowledge of evolution could justifiably be questioned (actually,she's quite familiar with the descent of man-she's seen Dick Cheney on CNN),her English is exemplary….
Instead,I say,"Thanks!"The doors open to my floor-I break into a run for my room-as I nervously insert the key and the door clicks open,I hear one more,"Hey,Polack-are you going for some kielbasa and sauerkraut? We still haven't heard a polka yet!"(see last entry) SLAM!!!!Safe…
P.S. Just as an aside,if you think events from my life are frozen in time with certain fans,consider the plight of a fellow saxophonist (he shall remain nameless),whose father passed away almost three years ago.He runs into one elderly gentleman about once a month,who has a habit of approaching my friend at the most inappropriate times,shaking his hand,and offering a "I sure do miss your daddy!!!"This means that my friend has to drop whatever he's doing (in one case, a hot date!),and start 'grieving' again,no matter what his actual mood is….But,once again,I digress…
I'm doing the opening set at the Newport Jazz Party-this is always a good one,because not only do I get to play with some of the West Coast's finest musicians,but Joe Rothman,the organizer,and I have a long-standing tradition of insulting each other mercilessly over the microphone throughout the weekend,and I get the opening salvo….
Now,Joe Rothman is a bachelor for life-he's never been married,never will,so,naturally,my jokes lean in that direction-for example,two years before,I'd lowered the bar significantly with this joke:"You know,if you laid all the girls in California end-to-end…then you'd be Joe Rothman!" This,incidentally,was funny to everyone but his first-time date that night-who knew?????So this year I softened things up a bit-here's my comments:
"It's great to be back here in Newport Beach,and I'm glad to see Joe Rothman healthy again (some murmurs,some titters in the audience).No,you know he's had some health problems-I don't think he'd mind me telling you-for the last year,every time he had sex,his upper body burned like crazy-but a team of doctors finally figured out the cause-pepper spray!!!!"This was followed by,"No,I shouldn't kid Joe-at his age,he has more testosterone than Rosie O'Donnell in a women's prison!"These jokes,again,got a huge laugh from everyone but,alas,Joe's date,who subsequently referred to me as an "asshole" and a "jerk"-again,I didn't know she was in the audience,and I really didn't think that she'd be offended,considering that (a) Joe "gives" to me as good as he "gets",(b)we're close friends,which is clear to everyone,(c)these jokes were pretty mild on the offend-o-meter,and(d)our banter is just an act.(I tried this reasoning on Joe's date-she informed me that "I'm not an act!!!").OK,to anyone not in our inner circle (all 2,000 of us)-I'M JUST JOKING!!Joe's a great guy,he really is a perfect gentleman and a good,loyal,friend,and I love him-if you don't believe me,I have an elf in Irvine who can testify on my behalf!!!!(again,see last entry)
Bye for now-Ken
P.S. You should sign up for Joe and John's West Coast Jazz Party in Irvine on Labor Day weekend for more great music and hi-jinks!!!
My Day (Some events juxtaposed slightly,but 99% true!)February 15th, 2007
Thursday,February 15th,9:00 A.M.,Newport Beach,California
I had agreed to do an interview with the BBC for a three-part radio special on Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw,and had to do a link-up somewhere in my travels.This was the best date for all of us,so the BBC tried to secure a studio nearby…My "engineer" picked me up at my hotel,and took me to a local college radio station.I knew this one would be different when I stepped into the 'studio' ,which looked more like a quonset hut with cables dropped randomly about. I was greeted by a David Crosby lookalike (complete with walrus mustache!),who was hunched over a computer;without looking up,he flashed me the "peace" sign and drawled out a "What's happenin',dude?", a phrase I hadn't heard since I tossed out my old Cheech & Chong records….
Over the radio-station monitor came the voice of a lady who was doing a weekly radio show called "What Would Arwen Do?-An Elvish Perspective On Life".She was later introduced to me (with no trace of irony,I must add) as "our resident elf."As I shook her hand and listened to her blessing me for my spiritual gifts to the world,I gazed earnestly into her eyes and thanked her also,for the good work that all the elves do, while praying silently that she wouldn't hunt me down later and kill me…..I then moved into the cubicle where I would spend the next hour reading the newspaper,while my "engineer" tried to figure out how to do a trans-Atlantic link-up.We finally got things rolling.Then,after answering long and detailed questions about Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw for the better part of 90 minutes,including playing and discussing examples of their characteristic phrases,musical differences,personalities,etc., with Sparky sitting a foot away from me and staring at me intently,he actually turned to me when it was over and said,"So,was this mostly a show about Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman?"Remembering that I was in Southern California,I looked at him and said,"Why,yes,it was…."
I'm back at the hotel for the Newport Beach Jazz Party,an event put on by Joe Rothman and John McClure,two friends who have made a big success of this annual festival,and another one Labor Day weekend-if you haven't been to these,look them up-they're great,fun,well-run weekends of jazz! But I digress….
I'm met in the lobby by a decidedly unusual greeting:"Hey,fellow Polack!Are you gonna play us a polka?"I look over-it's one of the 'regulars',dressed like he went shopping at Emmett Kelly's garage sale.This jazz diplomat will continue to try and ingratiate himself with me throughout the weekend by uttering more and more of these remarks, such as -"Hey,Polski!""There's my Polack!""How come I didn't hear any polkas last night!",etc. I begin to wonder if this might be a new form of address in Southern California,where people just yell out ethnic slurs to each other…I later tried this out on my waiter in the restaurant,with a friendly cry of "Hey,wetback-could you bring me some more coffee?"The waiter,God bless him, was so taken by my greeting that he accidentally spat into the middle of my Clams Casino,threw the dish down onto the table,and quickly hurried off,shaking his head in obvious merriment….
I have a poolside set to play with two great trumpet players,Terell Stafford and Gilbert Castellanos,and Scott Whitfield,a real trombone virtuoso-lots of fun,and great to hear Terell and Gilbert play off one another-very inspiring! I later have another set by the pool as a guest with a pianist whose unorthodox technique is somewhat off-set by his monumental ego…I know,because I've been down this road before,that either he doesn't know my name,and will introduce me like this-"Let's hear it for Mr. Saxman!"or "Now we'd like to bring on my main man!";or,even better,he will kind of remember what my name sort of sounds like,and will bring me on with a "Now,we'd like to bring up Mr. Ben Peroski to the stage",or any of thousands of variations therein.A lot's riding on his introduction,as I have a bet with two guys in the band about this….soon, it's time-he looks around,catches my eye,gazes up in a heavenly direction for a clue,any clue,looks out over the audience,and says,"Now,I'd like to ask our bassman to introduce our special guest",and hands the microphone over to him-Brilliant! To be continued in my next installment…….See you then-Ken
The MailbagJanuary 20th, 2007
Mrs. E.C. in Fairfax,Virginia,writes in:What do you like to do in your spare time?
Well,Mrs. E.C.,here are a few of my favorite things:
Taking long walks in the moonlight
Going to pet stores and looking at the frolicking puppies
Admiring a beautiful sunset
Meditating on ways to improve the human race,starting with moi
Sitting with my wife before a roaring fire in our home,even though we don't have a fireplace
Haggling over wax lips in a Turkish bazaar
Dressing up like Betty Hutton and laying in a bed of pine nuts
Looking for secret messages from Larry Fine in boxes of Chiclets
Speaking Urdu to a group of barnyard animals,while they nod appreciatively in acknowledgement
Getting wasted in Margaritaville
Trying on mock-turtlenecks while listening to Mannheim Steamroller
Bidding on E-Bay for Ernest Borgnine's back-hair
Declaring a state of war against Zainesville,Ohio
Taking my Chia pet for a walk
Looking for Capuchin monkeys in all the wrong places
Seeing how many times the word "eclectic" is used in any given issue of a jazz magazine (minimum so far-5!)
That's all the time we have for this Mailbag-see you next time!KP
The Laughing FitJanuary 8th, 2007
As far back as I can remember,I've had what some might call a "problem" with laughing in very inappropriate,to say the least,circumstances. This could be some kind of weird defense mechanism,or part of a long-standing,and only partially suppressed,anti-authoritarianistic streak.I have a quite early memory,for example,of my mother,exhausted in frustration,calling me a "son-of-a-bitch",to which my reply,"Then what does that makeyou",was not exactly recieved with accolades for my clever bon mot.I think I was 10 at the time……
Anyway,I know it's not right,but I can't help bursting out into helpless guffawing at all the wrong times.I was once on a long,strange road trip (more about this in another installment) with my friend,trombonist Dan Barrett,when he proceeded to close a van door on his own finger.As he lay on the ground,trying not to pass out,I'm pretty sure the pain was not alleviated by me bending over him and stammering out,"Are….you….okay" between peals of unbridled laughter.But there you go.Now we come to……
When I first came to New York,I found myself doing all kinds of strange jobs, so long as they involved me holding a clarinet or saxophone. These included,but were certainly not limited to: Dressing up in a musty Santa Claus suit that reeked of generations of disgruntled Santas past,and playing outside of Macy's in the freezing cold;playing in the lobbies of buildings for some "corporate good-will",where the only person not to completely ignore us was the lady who booked us.Whatshe did,though,was hide behind collonades and spy on us to make sure we weren't (a) taking too many breaks,and (b) passing out our own business cards.And my personal favorite all-time low-a banjo-playing friend and I played the opening of a 7-11 somewhere in the wilds of New Jersey.And, just to help denote the grandness of the occasion,we had to wear red felt vests and fake styrofoam "straw" hats.
Now, a couple things spring to mind-first,why would one even want to celebrate the opening of another 7-11?It's not as if people would only shop there if they felt comforted by the strains of bad dixieland music wafting through the doors;I mean, it's a 7-11!!!!!("Look,Herb,you need shaving cream-there's a 7-11-pull the car over" "I don't know, Betty,this could be one of those rogue stores we've heard about…..but wait….what's that sound….is it…When The Saints Come Marching In? Is that a banjo and clarinet I hear? Come on,let's go in and shop!!!!!!!")
The final cap on this engagement was the knowledge that we brought no happiness whatsoever to the customers,as we found that no matter where we positioned ourselves in the store,we were only annoying people by blocking their pathway to the hot dogs/Twinkies/sodas,etc. ("Can't you guys move over there?" was a constant refrain)
The only saving grace about this gig was that we did learn a valuable life lesson: Just when you think you've got it really bad,somebody else has it much worse.This thought came to us as we gazed across the store at a man dressed as a giant Slurpee,and watched as he lurched violently around the shop in a manner meant to convey "joy"…..But,I digress….Back to the funeral….
Our assignment was to play for the funeral of a theatrical impresario who loved Dixieland music (is there any other kind?).We were to play some tunes at the funeral home,and then drive out to Long Island and play again as they lowered the casket into the grave.But this was back in the 1980s,when many of us were diligently staying up nights,mixing together various ingredients in our ongoing scientific research into the effects of various chemical substances on the human body.Mornings were not our strong suit….
We showed up early at the funeral home,a few shades worse for wear,only to find we would be playing beside an open casket,facing the mourners.So,naturally,I lobbed a few preliminary comments out-"Don't look now,but I think he just blinked", "This may be a bad time to ask, but when do we eat?",etc–to no discernible effect on the band.Until we started our first number.I saw,out of the corner of my eye,the tuba player's shoulders shake ever so slightly.I immediately burst out laughing,which quickly drew the attention of both the mourners and our now-worried band-leader. I was soon overtaken with gales of laughter so deep that I had to bury my face in my hands and pretend I was weeping,as I staggered out of the funeral parlor,shoulders heaving, past the now-alarmed family and friends of the deceased.The band-leader,at this point, was not happy…….
Now, in the ride out to the cemetery, I tried desperately to compose myself by thinking about the most depressing things I could conjure up-my grandmother's death,my career,etc.,but in a bad foreshadowing of things to come, I kept erupting into truly seismic mirth-quakes.
We arrived at the cemetary-I seemed to be fine as the hearse pulled up.And then one of the pall-bearers stumbled and the casket fell to the ground. I burst out in paroxysms of laughter that must have drawn the attention of both mourners and mournee, as the band-leader barked at me,"For Christs' sake,go for a walk in the woods!!!"But that's not the worst part….
As we were piling into our cars for the ride home (in my case,the Ride Of Shame),I felt a great wave of remorse come over me.I felt really bad.I timidly approached the band-leader to apologize. As I was just beginning to stammer out a feeble "I'm sorry",I caught a glimpse of the tuba player again,and erupted once more. I reeled back to my car and quickly drove away….
Until next time—Ken Peplowski P.S. If there's any justice,my funeral should be a hoot!
Comments/Kenny DavernDecember 21st, 2006
I had some funny comments about my last missive,but the best was from someone who said he/she had another reason for me to hide in my room-they burned copies of my CD!Actually,this is a tough one-in some cases,that's the only way to hear music that's not distributed well,and may draw future PAYING customers into the fold.With my old CDs on Concord Records,for example, they have little or no interest in their back catalog-they've deleted almost everything (not just mine),won't let us buy the masters,and crank out cheesy compilations of songs that every jazz lover already has! But who am I to argue with success-just because I've recieved no quarterly statements of earnings,had tracks licensed for other use without my knowledge or approval,and keep remembering my last meeting with the then vice-president who had never even heard of the jazz producer George Avakian (I wanted him to man the helm of my last project for them),and,astoundingly,professed to never having heard the recordings associated with him (Miles Davis,Duke Ellington,Thelonius Monk,Louis Armstrong,etc.),I'M NOT BITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!But to you small cabal out there who remember the music I made for them,I say:Burn Away!!!(note to the legal dept. of Concord:I,of course,am just kidding-ahahhahahahahahhahahahahah)And good luck with your future projects-taking dead people's notes and grafting them on to whatever sticks-enjoy your sales while you can!
Kenny Davern
We lost one of the great ones last week-Kenny Davern died suddenly of a heart attack at 71 years old.He was a true original both musically and personally,with an almost fanatical desire to tear down any walls of pretentiousness or pomposity around him.He was also funny,with a wicked sense of humor and a great laugh-I remember,years ago,going to a supposed "up-scale" restaurant with him,where you needed a thesaurus for the menu,and the food was even worse than the bad service.At the end of the meal,the waiter came up with the bill,and asked,"Do you need anything else?" Kenny looked him straight in the eye and said,"Yeah,how about a stomach-pump?"I was mortified and strangely proud/envious of him at the same time….There were also the constant battles with his chief nemesis,the Sound Man,which I think a small,morbid part of him secretly enjoyed-Why else would he wait until he got on the bandstand to inform the sound-man that there would be no microphones,jazz was meant to be acoustic,etc.(Although,fascinatingly,he used the microphone to make these announcements!!!)Of course,Kenny Davern had,unquestionably, the biggest sound I've ever heard on the clarinet,and so was proven right in most of these battles….
More importantly,no-one played like Kenny Davern.He had the great mis-fortune,largely because of the material he chose to interpret and the ignorance of many critics,of being labelled a "traditional" jazz player.There was nothing traditional about him-he was more knowledgeable about the mechanics of the clarinet than most repairmen,and utilized everything in and out of the book-false fingerings,harmonics,an astounding upper range,bends,lip-slurs,you name it-an astounding,and incredibly moving,musician.
When he was among us,he seemed larger than life-now,sadly,he truly is….
Until next time,take care-Ken Peplowski

Here are answers to some common questions about organizing e‑mail by using folders and rules in Windows Mail.
You can create folders to store e‑mail messages, which makes it easier to find related messages later. You might create a folder called Bills to hold e‑mails related to online payments, and another called Pictures to store messages with attached photos. You can drag messages to folders manually, or create rules to automatically move messages to folders as they're received.
Open Windows Mail by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Mail.
Click the File menu, point to New, and then click Folder.
Type the name of your folder in the Folder name box.
In the Select the folder in which to create the new folder list, click the folder where you want to store your new folder.
You can use rules in Windows Mail to automatically move messages to the folders that you choose. For example, you might create a rule to move mail from a specific person to a folder that you named for that person. You can also use rules to flag specific messages that you want to take action on later, or to delete unwanted messages automatically so that you never have to see them.
Click the Tools menu, point to Message Rules, and then click Mail.
In the New Mail Rule dialog box, under Select the Conditions for your rule, select one or more check boxes to set up the criteria that will be applied to incoming messages.
If you select multiple conditions, click the and hyperlink in the Rule Description section. In the And/Or dialog box, click Messages match all of the criteria or Messages match any of the criteria, and then click OK.
Under Select the Actions for your rule, select one or more check boxes to determine how to handle messages that meet the conditions you selected.
Click the underlined hyperlinks in the Rule Description section to specify the conditions or actions for your rule.
You can click the contains people or contains specific words hyperlinks in the Rule Description box to specify the people or words you'd like Windows Mail to look for in messages. If you enter multiple people or multiple words per condition, you can use the Options button in the Select People or Type Specific Words dialog boxes to further customize your rule.
In the Name of the rule box, select the default name, type a new name that describes your rule, and then click OK.
Yes. Basing a rule on a specific message is an easy way to create a rule for future messages from its sender. To do this, click the message you want to use as a basis for your rule, click the Message menu, and then click Create Rule from Message. The selected message's sender will be used in the Where the from line contains condition. For more information on creating rules, see "How can I use rules to organize e‑mail?" earlier in this help topic.

ZF-5615: ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper_DatePicker - error during date convertion
Hi everyone. I've just found a bug in the ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper_DatePicker class in _resolveLocaleToDatePickerFormat() function. I set up zend_locale to en, so first part the result of Zend_Locale_Format::getDateFormat() method is MMM, which is equivalent to M in date() function. The _resolveLocaleToDatePickerFormat() function makes it as 'mmm' not 'M'. The problem is in str_replace() function, because shorter strings are at the beginning of array map, so str_replace() repleaced 3 times 'M' by 'm'.
Hope you know what I mean.
can you give me the complete Zend_Locale format and the expected Javascript result? I have fixed it here, though i don't know if its correct.
Oyy! My Zend_Locale format is: 'MMM d, yyyy' and after the replacement I suppose to get 'M d, yy'.
Will be fixed in next mini or minor release

Equipment 101: Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)
This mini-load staging buffer uses computer-controlled shuttles equipped with a load transfer device. The shuttles can deliver loads to a person who will pick items. When the pick is complete, the load is automatically returned to its storage location.
Automated storage and retrieval systems, known as AS/RS, have been around since the 1960s. Put simply, they are computer-controlled systems that put away, store and retrieve product in warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities.
"The first systems were built to handle large loads," explains Ralph Mills, executive director of sales Daifuku America . "From there, pallet loads developed into mini-loads, and most recently AS/RS is being used for replenishment and to sequence items."
Over the years, AS/RS have evolved into smarter, sophisticated materials handling solutions that can handle smaller loads and strategically deliver product to the right place at the right time without manual labor.
AS/RS configuration
Large systems, known as unit-load AS/RS, typically store and retrieve pallet loads. Smaller systems, mini-load AS/RS, handle product in totes, trays or cartons.
Regardless of size, most AS/RS have the same basic configuration: Two rows of metal rack face each other with a narrow aisle in between. Down the center of the aisle is a raised metal rail. A tall mast travels through the aisle along the rail. When the mast reaches a designated storage location, a carriage travels up or down the mast to the level of the location. A load-handling mechanism mounted on the carriage then reaches into the storage location to put away or retrieve a load.
The mast, carriage and load-handling device collectively are known as a storage and retrieval machine (for short an S/R machine or SRM) or a crane.
Most AS/RS use one SRM per aisle, but sophisticated high-throughput systems might assign multiple machines to one aisle. Some low-throughput systems assign one machine to multiple aisles. In these systems, the SRM makes a turn at the end of its aisle or is moved from aisle to aisle by transfer cart.
SRMs may have single or double masts. With a single-mast machine, the carriage is attached to the front of the mast. With a double-mast machine, the carriage rides between two masts, providing added stability in tall AS/RS or in systems that handle heavy loads.
Unit-load AS/RS
Unit-load AS/RS are designed to store large loads of 1,000 pounds or more, which are typically stored on pallets. Some specialized systems handle oversized loads like furniture and long rolls of carpet.
While a unit-load AS/RS can reach 100 feet, a typical system is less than 40 feet high. A standard AS/RS stores loads on rails designed specifically for automated systems. This rack, like drive-in rack, stores loads on rails that run perpendicular to the aisles. (Standard pallet rack stores loads on cross beams that run parallel to the aisles.) AS/RS rack can be configured single-deep, double-deep or as deep-lane rack with several pallets and stored one behind the other.
The load-handling mechanism for a unit-load AS/RS is usually a telescoping device, called a shuttle, that reaches into the storage location, slides under the pallet, then pulls it onto the carriage.
Less common turret-style SRMs that use a rotating fork are slower but can interface with standard pallet rack instead of special AS/RS rack.
A unit-load AS/RS can provide:
• dense storage in a warehouse,
• buffer storage for work-in-process,
• a dynamic pick face for a case-picking operation, or
• parts sequencing for an assembly line.

I'm going to be heading over to Mount Dora Brewing today, and a couple of other places that my Lake County readers have whispered to me about. I probably won't be back in time for this, but "Korndogg" is always a good time, you should certainly check it out if you get a chance.
Korndogg's Rock Band Karaoke at Graffiti Junktion: Go over to the Thornton Park hamburger joint and rock out like David Hasselhoff. Well maybe not that hard, I don't want you getting kicked out, or worse, video taped. Korndogg's karaoke greatness starts at 6 p.m. and it's a lot of fun. My friends and I are partial to the Rock Band but you'll hear your share of karaoke as well. To participate is free and there are drink and food specials too. Graffiti Junktion is at 900 E. Washington Street in Thornton Park; call 407-426-9502.
