I'm Beaming Video
Forum category:
All I know is that there is a LOT ignorance now going on this topic. Even Lupe himself said he likes the propogandic movie called Zeitgeist.... if that's his source for the knowledge he has about this all than I might even tell you all that Lupe actually is in trouble ;).
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "sighs" I gotta calm down. This is getting......too wierd. The reason I laughed is because of the "All Seeing Eye" but afterwards I was like "I can't believe he has this on the video" But then after hearing the song for awhile, can't say I support or go against the video/song. Since last year, things have been going weird but there has been connections between Lupe and the industry. The illuminati are more involved in the music industry than any other. If you haven't watched the video about Micheal Jackson's death leading to the Illuminati, then you gotta watch that. Lupe is in the industry weather you like it or not. Once you're in the game, there's no way out. I will make another post about the video. Things are getting way too weird right now but.......lets just hope it something good comes outta this whole situation. Hope you guys crack this.
I don't get the Jay-z influencing stuff... Lupe is consistantly saying he doesn't want to be like Jay-z, he even said he doesn't want to follow his steps in Enemy of the State. "Jay gave me a co-sign like I was RocaWear, but be clear I'm not the air (wordplay with the word heir, as in inheriting something) I'm the water, fire and the earth; (What I read from this is that he's anything but an heir to Jay) that means I'm doin' dirt, spittin' flames and quenchin' thirst, and plus the real God has been on my side since birth (comparing his faith to Jay-z's, almost sayin' Jay is on the wrong path) I hope that he forgives me, I hope I do his work in every single verse, Now I might do a dance, I might even jerk, tell them N****s don't hate Only God is great, Enemy Of The State " -Popular Demand Freestyle-
Yeah, I didn't get that either. It's been more than a day and it hasn't been put on the blog. As for the radio, they put the songs they want you to hear on.
i find it odd, how the video is not even on the website;l seems this website is used to promote other. and how like his singles arent on the radio yet? since he is on a major label.
It's difficult to tell what Lupe's agenda is. Only he and Allah swt know his true intentions. Perhaps he's realised early on that a drawback of being signed to a major is that they will attempt to control what you put out there. And so he had to make his message seem to go both ways. For me, at first, it leaned more towards him promoting them, with all the rest of the things I've seen. But, perhaps Lupe has his own method of doing things. However, in saying that, the fact that his material seems to be unambiguous, in that sense, is somewhat wrong from a Muslim perspective. The Dajjal/Antichrist is said to be three things; a being, a worldwide movement and an unseen force. Promoting the world wide movement is, in essence, promoting the Dajjal. 100% against Islam and a sure way to be doomed to the hellfire.
Yeahhhh... One of my reactions when I saw the signs with him saying "Ha!" in the next clip was whether he read all the stuff in here and thought "hm... lemme put something in there just to piss off ETW and co..." Fiasco_Winchester, your "points" prove nothing. I think you have misinterpreted the Bilderberg Group reference. You know, one of the prerequisites to being a mason is believing in one Divine God, therefore there are many masons that consider themselves muslims at the same time. I've read Harun Yahya, discussing their prevalence in Turkey. Also, in my mind Lupe is following the Jay Z route to stardom (I'll try to explain that in another post), so I think these people are using these symbolisms to have others talking about them and give them this bad-ass image.
@My Brother Aradi Since the album is not yet out, It's hard to say if Lupe sold (his soul) out yet or not. I have some indications and views on what's going on... before I go to my points of view on this, I will make clear why I think he should not put such symbolism in his video clip. 1 It's used by vatican (those who rape and misuse children and are sick minded, how can people be blind) http://thebiggestsecretpict.online.fr/nwo/vatican_all_seeing_eye.jpg http://www.freemasonrywatch.org/pics/aachen.cathedral.jpg 2 It has deep connections with devil worshiping people. 3 Used by masons world wide, the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) has made to us clearly that the Dajjal (anti christ) only sees with one eye! and Allah swt is not one eyed. (for more info I recommand sheykh http://www.imranhosein.org/ ) ~~ Reasons that could explain this symbolism in his clip 1. He prolly read too much stuff I posted on here ;D 2. He wants to make clear that he knows what is going on. 3. He belives these symbolism will gain him more fame and that he will be accepted more by the rest of the industry 4. He is cursed or misguided by certain peoples 5. He wants to make clear that he did not sell out his soul..? 6. He wants to use the dark powers to gain fame, so that his message reach more people, so that he one day can repent and tell the truth to the masses ( I REALLY HOPE IT'S NOT THIS ONE!! LUPE IF YOU READ THIS, BE CAREFULL AND LEAVE THE INDUSTRY IF THIS IS YOUR INTENTION WITH THIS, THE BLACK MAGIC IS DANGEROUS !!) And I sincererly hope the case is the 5 point I raised up. But sadly some indications make me wanna think that it's not the case, ( I could write pages to prove my point, but the bottom line is that I hope it's not the case)
I hope Allah swt protects Wasalu from the evils, since Allah swt is the only who can protect us from the evil of shaytaan (satan). 'When Iblis was certain that he is one of those who are doomed, as well as his being arrogant and being ungrateful to his Lord, he resolved to mislead whomever he could of the slaves of Allah so that they would be with him in Hell. Allah says: ((Satan) said: O my Lord! Because You misled me, I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all. Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them.) (Al-Hijr 15:39-40)
@Temermentaliste ... and the rest of you conspiracy illuminati lames... u r all outta control ... Does illuminati or a secret group exist... probably! Is lupe part of such a group hell no!!! Some quick examples before i tell you a few better things to waste your time on...::: Lyrics from Thank You from Enemy of the State: - "If you came here to box, you'll leave in a bag I run the game, Bilderberg Group, in the lead with the flash Usain Bolt aint even leaving this fast" -He is clealry stating he is above the Bilderberg Group i.e. NWO ... Popular Demand also on Enemy of the State: "Only God is Great..." -If he was illuminati why would he mention God????? And if none of this was enough here's the LASERS manifesto for you to suck on... 1. We Want An End To The Glamorization Of Negativity In The Media. 2. We Want An End To Status Symbols Dictating Our Worth As Individuals. 3. We Want A Meaningful And Universal Education System. 4. We Want Substance In The Place Of Popularity. 5. We Will Not Compromise Who We Are To Be Accepted By The Crowd. 6. We Want The Invisible Walls That Separate By Wealth, Race & Class To Be Torn Down. 7. We Want To Think Our Own Thoughts. 8. We Will Be Responsible For Our Environment. 9. We Want Clarity & Truth From Our Elected Officials Or They Should Move Aside. 10. We Want Love Not Lies. 11. We Want An End To All Wars. Foreign & Domestic (Violence). 12. We Want An End To The Processed Culture Of Exploitation, Over-Consumption & Waste. 13. We Want Knowledge, Understanding & Peace. 14. WE WILL NOT LOSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOSERS, WE ARE LASERS!!! -No one as socially conciuos as Lupe has anything to do with illuminati , bilderberg, nwo, or any of your other groups!!!!!!!!!!
but I also know that hiphop appearently can introduce people to islam. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMtnPFSwMpg&feature=related ) I also heard some people who said they got into islam by hiphop, but later they ended up not listening to hiphop anymore ;)
Before I answer to you brother Aradi, I will first make some things clear to titilope since she was upset about your good reply ;) Titilope you should not search far for your answer, you do know that the iblis(satan) also believes in Allah swt (one and only god). Following Muhammed (peace be upon him) is called sunnah in islam, the sunnah is the righteous way of Life, trough sunnah we as muslim learned how to pray for example... the sunnah is based on three things 1 The statements of the prophet (Peace be upon him) 2 His actions (deeds) 3 Things that were done in the presence of the prophet (peace be upon him) and he allowed it to be If your interested in the topic of following Muhammed (peace be upon him) I recomand this series called Islam 101 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKsDRzU1KPk). I recomand you watch all the series this will raise your knowledge about islam. Now like aradi said, he should not put these kind of things in these kind of songs (or even in his music in general). Not only because he said he is not the poster boy for islam and that he does not want to looked that way, but also because of the fact making music is not sunnah. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments (Narrated by al-Bukhaari taleeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, 91). now, here the prophet (peace be upon him) put musical intruments in the same line as zina(adultry) silk(men wearing silk is considered wearing clothing from the opposite sex) Alcohol( IT'S POISIN ). Out of this conclusion we should say that one who is for example drinking alcohol and saying 'I try to follow this; what Muhammad do. ' and yet at the same time drinking alcohol. We're all sinners, May Allah swt forgive us, but that fact does not allow us to make certain things good or bad.
If he meant what you said, then my criticism of him is too harsh; we all just try to do what's right and none of us is perfect. But I don't think that's what he's saying. For one, there seems to be no lament. And the last line "I don't prophecise.. I promise you" is like him proclaiming proudly that he wisely chose the best path; the balance between being "cool" and being conscious of his codes of conduct. Either way, I'm more interesting in what ETW makes of the pyramid and the eye. I'm Nigerian. I assumed your name Titi is the same as the Nigerian name.
I don't understand what you were just talking about... but when he said "i try to follow this: what Muhammad do." he's saying he's trying to follow Muhammad's teachings. Like every human being, he's admitting, that it's hard, and he wants to do other 'cool things' but he also wants to keep to his faith. I'm a christian, but i don't always make the right decisions, i think that's where he's coming from. and you're saying there's no 50, 50 in Islam, do hip-hop and Islam even go hand in hand, yet you listen to it? Just saying, stop criticizing the dude, follow your religion, how you want and see is right and leave him be. :D oh, i went deep. *nods head* and how do you guys know to shorten my name to 'Titi'? random thought...
ETW is the man!! Wooo!!!! Now please explain how that rap is relevant to our discussion... but five star for style. Titi, the Muslim reference he made is far from flattering. Actually, I still don't get it. "I try to follow this; what Muhammad do. It's such an old soul, inside a sonic you. So I'm ferrari-ed up, and I'm conscious too. I don't "prophecise"... I promise you." I'm not going to go word for word, but all I know is he used the name of the great prophet very loosely. And I think the lines in general mean that he merges the Islamic Deen with his "cool guy" persona and influences the listener with it through the music. There is no fifty-fifty in Islam; it's either you follow the deen or you don't. I know it sounds hypocritical coming from a Muslim, but if I ever wanted to share Islamic content with someone, I'd give it in its pure form and not as part of my "cool deep guy" image. It's just wrong, and the funny thing is, Lupe is very ill-informed about such topics. Enough about the man though, and more about the song. It's a cool video.
bipiry papady poo, ever since the first day I got in the booth I was jackin the truth, you plotin to who? I can just do what I was timed to do , Make you see only what I wanted to, Follow me dude, appology due? not even, im honestly rude, take a second, you gotta love my honesty dude, I can possible proof how much my cockyness rules, when I boddy these fools, cuz most of these rappers is actors, while attackin em I just laugh at em like abra-KA-dabra ;) They Tell It Ain't Normal What I Do..... iiiiit's MAGIC I Tell I Was Born With What I Do.... Something Like A Rabbit In A Hat, RA- Rabbit In A Hat , Rabbit In A Hat
LUPE WTF! STOP LYING TO YOUR FANS ABOUT HOW YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE ILLUMINATI OR FREEMASON! I'm Beaming = Illumination = Illuminati.... All black attire? You don't even sign autographs or take pictures with fans... You're not a people's person, all you care about is the fame and glory and people memorizing your lyrics because that's the only thing you want to see. But when people want autographs or pictures, you just ignore him. First Jay-Z put Kanye West into it, then Rihanna and now you... SMFH F*CK YOU!!
The Video is dooope, the visuals were really good, and I liked the way they incorporated the kids, added a good "innocent" effect
the video was cool and original...!!!! def feelin it.... yall are o.c. wit all that illuminati talk, y is everyone so obsessed with illuminati.... Just listen to his lyrics and stop trying to read in between the ""semi-colons' and parenthesis'..."" and you'll get yo answer!!!!!
these illuminati comments are so unfounded and flat out ridiculous. don't you "exposers" have anything better to do with your time than put false meaning on things? lupe is probably the furthest thing from sell out you can get, yet people wanna say he's promoting a new world order? This made my day as the most retarded/funniest thing i have EVER read. thanks for the entertainment
im kinda dissapointed with ETW he hasn't commented on this video would have thought he would be like first
lmaoo the second I saw the pyramid and eye of providence I was like LOLL ETW IS GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THIS. Also, cool video.
Vid made by "Ilusive Media"... just putting it out there. We need ETW on this!!!!!! (I'm not even being sarcastic)

ZF-7309: Read timeout not properly handled in Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket
The socket adapter allows one to set a timeout, which affects both the connection and the reading of data from the server. Currently, if a timeout occurs during read, there are no checks to handle it and no exception is thrown. In fact, what will probably happen in case of a slow running script on the server side is you'll get the Client to wait twice the time of the timeout (because there are at least two read attempts) and then a Zend_Http_Response exception is thrown.
Instead, a Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception should be thrown, indicating a timeout.
Fixed in CS-17026
I set fix version. I find this at SVN r17118 in 1.9 branch.

The Sidewinder (Leaves)
Today, Pat Neshek was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres. I had no idea he would even be "up for grabs", so this move kind of blind-sided me. Sad to think how much potential he had in this organization, before the major arm troubles hit him hard and heavy.
I mean, a few years ago he was considered closer material. Now, his velocity tops out in the mid-80s and that sidewinding delivery isn't enough to fool batters on its own.
Neshek's heralded (then brief) stay with the Twins reminds me of another guy in this organization…
During the early 2000s, Michael Restovich was heralded as our best blue-chip prospect. That went well. The power never developed, the batting eye wasn't there, and pretty soon he was bouncing all over the majors (even Japan for awhile) looking for jobs.
Pretty much the same story with Neshek. Great prospect, great potential, but ultimately very little delivered (at least for us). I wish him well in his future exploits, but have a bad feeling that perhaps he may never be able to re-capture that "spark" he once had. I hope I'm wrong.

Sale Price:
A symbol of mythic potency, the African lion has ruled the human imagination for millennia. But in Botswana's Okavango Delta, the world's most awe-inspiring hunters are challenged not only by their waterlogged territory, but also by their formidable preythe buffalowho wield their massive horns with deadly accuracy. Pulsing with ancient rhythms of wild Africa, this harsh and eternal struggle is compelling, powerful, and poignant. Award-winning filmmakers and National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Beverly and Dereck Joubert, give us an unforgettable glimpse of this iconic drama in the official companion book to their feature film, The Last Lions, and warn that due to declining numbers of lions in the wild, it may soon end forever. Read more about the movie here.
In fascinating text and breathtaking images, the Jouberts reveal both the beauty and danger of the Okavango Delta and its inhabitants. We follow a lone lioness, Ma di TauMother of Lionsand three newborns as they flee a ferocious rival pride. Braving the Delta, despite their instinctive hatred of water, the lioness and her cubs head for an island lost in a labyrinth of streams. She and two cubs escape successfully; a lurking crocodile snatches the third.
The Last Lions is a story of family and hope in a world of wild beauty and relentless predation that is a superbly photographed, sharply detailed intimate portrait of one dauntless mother struggling to protect her young and preserve her bloodline. It is a vivid, universal vision of the fate of lions everywhere, isolated on tiny islands amid a sea of humanity. Can we rescue them, or have we already, heedlessly, met the last lions?
For decades the Jouberts have lived among great cats in the wild, observing, documenting, and often discovering unsuspected facets of lion behavior. A key message is that the inexorably rising tide of human population will soon drown what remains of that world unless we act now. The book draws attention to the numbers (500,000 in the 1950s to only 25,000 lions today) and highlights projects that have been enacted to help preserve wilderness for lion habitat.
Dereck and Beverly Joubert, National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence, are internationally acclaimed naturalists and cinematographers. Their many years with lions have yielded not only books like Hunting with the Moon, but also such highly praised documentary films as Eternal Enemies: Lions and Hyenas; Reflections on Elephants; and Lions of Darkness, an outstanding body of work that has won four Emmys, two Chris awards, and a George Foster Peabody award.

Good companion to the movie.
By Cat Lover
from Tucson, AZ
The Last Lions Series is a realistic education about the actual life lions lead. This includes the heart warming moments as well as the heartwrenching ones. The book is a good companion to the movie. It includes comments from the President of the Republic of Botswana which clarifies that country's stance. It also brings to life of the photographers lives.

Mission: possible
Developing a strategic plan should be a team effort, with municipal officials, utility managers, staff, and other stakeholders contributing. Photo: Stantec Consulting Inc.
Much like a business plan for its future, cities and towns must also look ahead regarding their utilities. Photo: Stantec Consulting Inc.
A good strategic plan provides guidance for all stakeholders, from city officials down to operations staff.
Most municipal water and sewer departments prepare and update master plans and capital improvement plans from time to time. These plans focus on infrastructure improvements and what needs to be done to meet the needs of the utility—upgrading aging facilities, expanding service, complying with new regulations, and so on.
In some states, departments also may submit capacity development reports and capacity management, operations, and maintenance (CMOM) studies. Even so, few public utilities look at the long-term "big picture." Strategic plans look beyond those capital improvements and focus on other critical issues that a municipal utility must plan for. A strategic plan defines the mission of the utility and the issues that are critical to its success, and develops strategies to address those issues.
Many municipal water and wastewater systems operate under a board of water or sewer commissioners, selectmen, town manager, or mayor. These positions are typically volunteer or have minor stipends, meet several times a month, and may have numerous other municipal responsibilities. While the utility's day-to-day operation is controlled by a full-time manager or superintendent, accountability to the public is the responsibility of the board or municipal officer. These officials need guidance and standards for maintaining the long-term vision for the utility, which is what a strategic plan provides.
The process for developing a strategic plan for municipal utilities is similar to that of a business plan; however, a utility's issues, goals, and strategies are focused more on operations, service to customers, and financial stability, whereas a business would look at growth and profits.
In developing a utility's strategic plan, first review the municipality's other plans, including the capital improvement plan, community master plan, budgets and financial plans, or capacity development and operations plans. You can use these plans to make sure you stay in line with the overall town or city goals and processes. There may be some overlap, but it is best to keep the strategic plan separate and to make connections as part of the action plan.
Strategic planning involves seven primary steps:
1: Identify key issues. The development of the strategic plan should focus on issues that are road blocks to realizing the utility's vision. The Plainville, Mass., Water and Sewer Department began strategic planning after a minor water quality violation. As planning began, the voluntary Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners realized daily operations and public confidence could easily be disrupted by a number of issues. The commissioners and employees held a planning session and identified twelve issues as critical to the success of their vision.
Issues like these vary from system to system, but it is important to identify and prioritize them in the beginning of the planning process by reviewing:
2: Develop a mission. The mission statement is a short statement that defines the purpose and values of your utility. It is the message you want your employees and customers to hear and understand.
What makes up a utility's mission statement? Here are some examples:
"It is the mission of the department of public works to enhance the town's quality of life, and through sound management, innovation, teamwork, and vision, provide dependable, high-quality, responsive public works and utility services consistent with community values and at reasonable cost to its citizens, businesses, institutions, and visitors."
"It is the mission of the Water District to provide a reliable supply of high-quality water at a reasonable price to our customers and to be responsible stewards of the public's water infrastructure, fiscal, and natural resources."
"The Department of Public Works is dedicated to delivering engineering and operational services that provide the community with pride in their city and its work-force."

Do you want to find out what Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian's love smells like? Of course you do.
Lamar Odom and his wife Khloe have created a unisex fragrance that will be sold starting today at Perfumania, which is located in several malls across Central Florida. Recently snubbed from the NBA All-Star game, Lakers forward Lamar Odom and wife Khloe are planning a launch event at the Perfumania in Florida Mall next Saturday, Feb. 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Khloe's E! reality star sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian are not expected to attend.
So what does the Odoms' love smell like? Well, a blend of nutmeg, bergamot, orange fuses sultry geranium, jasmine, dark chocolate, cedarwood, amber, sandalwood and musk?
"There's something sexy about a couple sharing a scent. That's what Unbreakable offers that other fragrances on the market don't, that mix of masculine and feminine," Khloé Kardashian said in a press release.
"I couldn't be more proud to share our love with the world through the creation of Unbreakable," added Lamar Odom.
The cost of the fragrance ranges from $30-45.
Will you attend this event?

It's not easy being old, especially for legacy systems. People call them ancient, outdated and obsolete, and say they hold organizations back. They're too slow, don't integrate well or at all with other systems, and can't scale easily to handle larger workloads — so how can a department function in top form with these complications?
There's a good chance that New Jersey government officials have asked themselves this question more than once. The state's issues with legacy systems were highlighted in a June 2010 article by The Press of Atlantic City. The story listed the 10 oldest systems — the oldest being a payroll system in the Office of Management and Budget from 1969, the newest the Pensions and Benefits Division's pensions system from 1995.
The publication learned of these legacy systems after requesting electronic records from two state agencies, and was told the requests couldn't be honored because of technical limitations. There was even the possibility that system operations could halt completely if employees tried to copy the records. In one case, when Press staff wanted to look at recorded complaints against cable TV providers, the technology was too outdated to make an analysis possible.
When state staff spoke to Government Technology, they summarized why these problems exist.
"Let me give you just one quick example. Somebody wants to know all the teachers that retired this year. That's easy," said Andrew Pratt, communications director for the Treasury Department. "But now if somebody says they want to know all the teachers who retired in Morris County or Hudson County, who had more than 20 years of services and filed [for retirement] in July and August. ... The first request, all the teachers that filed for retirement, is easy. The second request is hard because we do not normally run forms that have, as a report, that particular search field in them."
It's not always a case of requests being too sophisticated as it is that they're new types of requests that government employees — and existing systems — have never dealt with before.
"If somebody has already written a program because of a past records request, that can take a short period of time to do," Pratt said. "But if somebody is looking for certain types of fields that compare one thing to another, and we don't have a program already written for that, then a program has to be written to generate that information. That's the kind of problem that we face."
Pratt added that complicated requests could force the state to redirect resources and charge the requester a fee that many people would balk at paying. The fees collected would have to pay for new programs written to handle the new types of requests. Other technology problems have even hindered the Treasury Department's ability to get payroll out in the past. And the treasurer himself, Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff, wrote in an e-mail to Government Technology that the treasury's current technology impedes system improvements.
"We are not experiencing malfunctions due to age, per se. Old systems, however, severely limit our ability to modernize core business functions, such as payroll, procurement and accounting," he wrote.
Sorting out the Situation
State officials want to change and update these systems, but that's a tall order. New Jersey's Department of Treasury is a mega-department, comprising 22 agencies and divisions that often act independently. It's time-consuming to scrutinize each agency's technology for inadequacies.
But New Jersey CTO Adel Ebeid is taking on the challenge with a brave face. "This is a great opportunity for our current governor and treasurer to tell their stories frankly," he said. "This is an administration that has recognized how old our systems are and has started to take great strides to address the issue."
So with both Sidamon-Eristoff's and Gov. Chris Christie's support, New Jersey is examining systems to see what needs to be done and how to do so.
"The purpose of the systems review we are currently engaged in is to answer just these questions: What's stable and working? What core business needs are not being met or supported? To meet current and projected business needs, which systems are amenable to upgrading and which will require wholesale replacement?" Sidamon-Eristoff said.

Art is subjective, but we think we can objectively say that Massachusetts has the best art in the entire solar system. After all, it's home to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, one of the world's most impressive collections of fine art; Mass MoCA, the country's most fertile site for large scale new art; and the "small but big" Worcester Art and Fitchburg Art Museums. Plus, there's a whole museum of bad art, and one that's free if your name is Isabella.

Occidental College
Media Arts & Culture
Occidental's Media Arts & Culture (MAC) department integrates the study of film, media, and cultural theory with digital production, helping students develop critical and creative skills for engaging in an increasingly participatory media culture.
Founded by renowned avant-garde filmmaker Chick Strand and digital scholar/producer Marsha Kinder, our department has a rich history of creative experimentation, community-based and social engagement, and interdisciplinary study from a local and global perspective. We continue to foster such legacies by encouraging students to think outside the box, while working in relation to real-world issues, cultures, and histories.
Our close proximity to the Los Angeles media industry means that MAC students are able to take advantage of invaluable internships and networking opportunities, while cultivating their own work within a close-knit and well-rounded liberal arts environment. Our students study and create a wide range of visual and aural media, including fiction, documentary, and experimental work; they push media making beyond the screen into installation, public, and mobile spaces; and they learn new tools for digital scholarship, from podcasts and video blogs to GIS applications. Students also receive support and guidance in traveling, studying, and filming abroad, as well as in accessing Los Angeles as a shooting location, historical archive of film history, and invaluable repository of compelling stories and subjects.
MAC offers two major tracks: Media Production and Critical Media. As one of three programs in the Art History and Visual Arts Department, it also offers curricular tie-ins with the Art History and Studio Arts programs, linking the still comparatively young histories of film, electronic, and digital media to the aesthetic, historical, and cultural traditions of other visual practices, including painting, sculpture, and photography.
The MAC department at Occidental is distinctive for its integration of media theory and practice as part of an interdisciplinary liberal arts education, fostering graduates who are technically savvy, critically engaged, and culturally informed. Our alumni continue to pursue interests cultivated in our department within the film and media industries, as well as a variety of other fields. Explore our site and discover why we were named one of the select "2011 Small Colleges and Universities Strong in Film/Television" by Fiske Guide to Colleges 2011.
*With the introduction of the Interdisciplinary Writing Minor the Narrative Practices comprehensives option will be discontinued with the class of 2016. Seniors in the classes of 2015 and 2016 pursuing the former Narrative Practices comps option are required to complete MAC 220 and MAC 320 by the end of their Junior Year.

Local candidates running for the Summit County Council, the Park City School Board and the Utah Legislature will be in attendance.
"There's no more critical information that you can get than who you would like to elect as your leaders," KPCW General Manager Larry Warren said. "So this is one of the best chances to meet all the candidates that are running and ask them questions personally."
Residents will be able to meet candidates during a social hour with free refreshments from 6 to 7 p.m.
"It's a long-time KPCW tradition to have a beverage and pizza feed for whoever comes," Warren said. "For many years, KPCW has run forums that include a social element because we love the idea of dialogue between people, and it's easy to do over pizza and a beer."
A question-and-answer session will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. where residents can ask the candidates questions in a forum setting. The event will also be broadcast live on KPCW 91.9 FM, though questions can only be asked by those attending the forum in person, or in advance through e-mail at email@example.com .

|Lozano garners WAC honor
DENVER - Despite beginning just her sophomore season, Idaho's Victoria Lozano has a growing list of honors from the Western Athletic Conference, a list that now includes WAC Women's Tennis Player of the Month after an eye-popping September.
Lozano, a sophomore from Guadalajara, Mexico, went 3-1 during September in singles play, advancing to the semifinals in the top flight of the Washington State University Cougar Classic. She won in straight sets against the top players from Boise State, Portland State and Montana State, before falling to the eventual tournament champion, Liudmila Vasilieva of Washington State.
In doubles play, Lozano and partner Sophie Vickers went 2-1, defeating the top pairings from Gonzaga and Portland State at the WSU Cougar Classic.
"She obviously had a great tournament there, especially the first couple of days," Idaho women's tennis coach Dan Pollock said. "She took down some top players and one of the best players in the region, and it just shows what Vicky is capable of when she brings it all together. She works hard out there on the court. She's definitely working hard in practice so it's been nice to see it come together. She still has a long way to go before she peaks in her game, so we have a lot of quality things to see from her in the future."
This is Lozano's first Player of the Month honor, which is given out during the fall season. Lozano was the WAC Player of the Week on March 15, 2011 during her freshman campaign, and was a second-team all-WAC selection in singles, and a second-team all-WAC selection in doubles at the end of last year.
"Based on her results at the Cougar Classic and just how hard she's been working, she deserves it," Pollock said. "I know she put a lot of work in over the summer getting into shape. But at the same time she knows she still has a lot of work to do to be where she wants to be."

Troubleshooting Internet connection problems can be a challenge because there are so many possible causes. First, try these steps:
Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then clicking Diagnose and repair.
Make sure that all wires are connected (for example, make sure your modem is connected to a working phone jack or cable connection, either directly or through a router).
Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem and/or router, wait at least 10 seconds, and then plug the modem and/or router back in.
Check your router. Because of the new networking features in Windows Vista, some older network routers are not fully compatible with Windows Vista and can cause problems.
If these steps don't solve the problem, look for a specific problem in the following list.
Make sure that:
Your modem is turned on.
The Ethernet cable is plugged correctly into the Ethernet port on the modem and on your computer. Each end of an Ethernet cable looks like this:
The phone line is plugged correctly into the modem and the phone jack.
You are not using a DSL filter between the phone jack and the modem.
Check the lights on your modem. These can sometimes indicate the location of the problem—whether it is the Ethernet connection, the power to the modem, or the DSL or cable connection.
Winsock corruption can cause connectivity problems. To fix this, open Network Diagnostics:
For more information, go to How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption on the Microsoft website.
Ask your Internet service provider (ISP) to verify that:
Its servers are functioning correctly.
You have an ISP user account and access to the ISP service.
Make sure that you are dialing the correct number, including any required access numbers (such as 9), and that the number is not busy.
Make sure that the phone jack is working. To test this, plug in a working phone and see if there is a dial tone.
Make sure that the phone cable is plugged into the "line" jack on your modem, not the "telephone" jack.
Make sure that the phone cable is not defective by plugging a working phone into the "telephone" jack of your modem. If there is a dial tone, the phone cable is working.
If you have call waiting, try disabling it, and then try the connection again.
Your ISP might have disconnected you if you weren't interacting with the website for a while. Try connecting again.
If someone picked up the phone while you were online, you might have been automatically disconnected. Try connecting again.
Most dial-up modems work only with analog phone lines. Verify that you have analog phone lines installed, or, if you have digital phone lines installed, verify that your computer has a digital modem.
Make sure that your modem is working properly. For more information, check the information that came with your modem or go to the manufacturer's website.
Contact your telephone company to verify the quality of your line.
If your computer has two network connections, the networking software must choose which connection to use for network traffic. The networking software picks the connection with the best performance. If connection A has Internet connectivity but slow performance and connection B has no Internet connectivity but better local network performance, the networking software will route network traffic over connection B. This means that you won't be able to view websites, so the networking icon and the network diagram in Network and Sharing Center will report that you only have local connectivity (no Internet). This is correct, but it's not what you want. To force your computer to use connection A—the connection with Internet connectivity—disconnect connection B and try again.
Here are some possible causes of this problem:
Your browser could be attempting to connect through a proxy server. If so, try connecting with the proxy server turned off. For more information, see Change proxy settings in Internet Explorer.
Your browser connection settings could be incorrect. For more information, see Internet Explorer Connections settings: recommended links.
Your router could be attempting to proxy DNS requests and failing. Refer to the documentation that came with your router for instructions on disabling DNS proxying.
A number of factors can affect Internet connection speed. For more information, see Why is my Internet connection so slow?
Make sure that you typed the virtual private network (VPN) server name exactly as provided by your network administrator.
You must have an active Internet connection for a VPN connection to work.
If your modem is external, make sure that the modem power is turned on.
Contact your network administrator to make sure that you have the appropriate connection and domain permissions on the remote access server.
This could be a certificate problem. For assistance, contact your network administrator.
A VPN connection won't work with an active Winsock proxy client. Contact your network administrator to make sure the Winsock proxy client is not enabled.
If you know the IP address (for example: 220.127.116.11) of a website, type that address in the address bar of your web browser and press ENTER. If this works, there is probably a Domain Name System (DNS) resolution problem. For assistance, contact your network administrator.
If you have special software that is required or installed by your workplace, it could be part of the problem. For assistance, contact your network administrator.
If you know the IP address (for example: 126.96.36.199) of your VPN server, type that address for the VPN connection, and then press ENTER. If this works, there is probably a DNS resolution problem. For assistance, contact your network administrator.
There could be a problem with the server you are trying to connect to. For assistance, contact your network administrator.
This can happen when the encryption that your computer uses does not match the encryption used by the VPN server. To change the encryption settings so that your computer uses the recommended setting of 3DES, follow these steps:
Open Network and Sharing Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Network and Sharing Center.
Click Connect to a network.
Right-click the VPN connection, and then click Properties.
Click the Security tab, click Advanced (custom settings), and then click Settings.
In the Advanced Security Settings dialog box, under Data encryption, select Maximum strength encryption (disconnect if server declines), and then click OK twice.
Click Connect to try connecting again.

I'd like to print some large A4/A3 sized checklists on paper for people to tick out. Is there any tool that just helps me to churn these out like bullet points in a minute and not have to spend half an hour on things like sizing and formatting?
Tweak Your Usual Text Processor
Why not just change the bullet style in Word to be an empty square? It can be changed to a variety of symbols, including an empty square that would be good enough to be used as tickboxes.
Other WYSIWYG editors can do the same, of course.
Online Tools
For the record, my personal preference for online tools would go to Google Tasks, though I don't really use it much anymore (I keep my TODO list in issue trackers or in plain text files now). The Google Calendar integration can be handy at times as well.
Evernote lets you create a checklist with almost no effort. Select the checkbox one time, it will be autoinserted on the next line. In effect, you just type the entries. Printing is easy and straightforward.
Another option I've used is to spend a little time up front creating a checklist template in Word or OpenOffice. Once I've invested that time, setting up the formatting, fonts, checkboxes, etc. creating new checklists is quick and easy.
This one is more of a hack, but has been useful to me in the past. Use Outlook Tasks - you can enter each checklist entry as a new item, all within the same category. Print one category's tasks, and if you've picked the print format correctly, it will come out as a checklist.
Make an HTML page with
For a traditional program, CNet recommends a very simple software called My Checklist. It has functionality for printing checklists. A word of caution though: CNet (usually a trustworthy source) claims that "My Checklist downloads and functions without issues", but there have been user reports of adware problems.

This exhibit celebrates baseball as a pop-culture phenomenon through displays of sheet music, sports memorabilia, records and film. It also includes listening stations stocked with early recordings and will include displays on baseball-associated songs from "I Love Mickey," Teresa Brewer's 1956 Mickey Mantle tribute, to the Seattle Mariners/New York Mets anthem "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (Baha Men, 2000). A second area covers the early to mid 20th century and focus on musical tributes to Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Larry Doby, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and entire teams such as the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees.
In addition, the exhibit includes artifacts related to baseball players who were also musicians, like the Milwaukee Braves' Lee Maye, who enjoyed a successful career as an R&B singer in the mid-Fifties. Rock and roll references to baseball, from Chuck Berry's "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" to Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson" to John Fogerty's "Centerfield," are also featured.
Other artifact highlights are:
A final section features a collection of filmed interviews with individual Cleveland Indians players, such as Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner, who explain why they chose particular songs to represent them when they are up at bat.
This exhibit is presented in part with the generous support of the Cleveland Indians and Major League Baseball Charities.
"We've been visiting the Rock Hall for three years, about two times per year. Your displays are fabulous and we learn something new each time we're here...It's even allowing us to teach our 9-year-old son about all music...So do we think it's worth a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Dayton, Ohio in the pouring rain? You bet! Rock on." "Wow - This is the music of our lives. This place is awesome - extremely impressive. We grew up on Alan Freed, Bandstand and Cousin Brucie. Keep up the good work - we'll be back."

ZF-11443: Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Chain does not implement getDefault and getDefaults
Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Chain does not implement getDefault and getDefaults. All other shipped Route implementations provide this, and I see no reason for not providing these on Chain as well.
Note: getDefault and getDefaults are not required by Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Interface.
See also: http://pastie.org/2022410
There are two mistakes in your code: * Coding style: "As with classes, the brace should always be written on the line underneath the function name." ("getDefault" and "getDefaults") * In the method "getDefault" the variable "$default" is undefined
You are right about the potentially undefined variable, thanks. The style is also wrong in the other Route implementations, that is where I copy-pasted the line from.
At first I implemented the function to return the default from the least specific (first added/first matching) route. I changed that to most specific at the last moment (to match the behaviour of the Chain), hence the missing $default definition.
The documentation notes the parameter priority as 'the outer route has the higher priority'. I'm not sure how to interpret that in combination with the actual behaviour, maybe it is an documentation error.
Fix and unit test from Môshe tested and added.
@[~môshevds]: You will need to sign and submit a CLA before we can apply your suggested improvement. See here: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…
Can we add the patch to version 1.12?
Fixed on trunk (25248) and release-1.12 (25249)
(I deleted the patches from Môshe and written a new implementation.)

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a condition that results from the abnormal premature destruction of red blood cells. Once this process begins, the damaged red blood cells start to clog the filtering system in the kidneys, which may eventually cause the life-threatening kidney failure associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Most cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome develop in children after two to 14 days of diarrhea — often bloody — due to infection with a certain strain of Escherichia coli (E. coli). Adults also may develop hemolytic uremic syndrome after an E. coli infection, but the cause also may be certain medications, other types of infections, pregnancy or it may be unknown.
Though hemolytic uremic syndrome is a serious condition, getting timely and appropriate treatment leads to a full recovery for most people — especially young children.
Signs and symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome may include:
Sometimes neurological symptoms, such as seizures, develop as well.
Call your doctor immediately if you or your child experiences unexplained bruises, bloody diarrhea, unusual bleeding, swollen limbs, extreme fatigue or decreased urine output after several days of diarrhea. Seek emergency care if you or your child doesn't urinate for 12 hours or more.
A number of things can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome, but the most common cause — particularly in children — is an infection with a specific strain of E. coli, usually the strain known as O157:H7. However, other strains of E. coli have been linked to hemolytic uremic syndrome, too.
E. coli refers to a group of bacteria normally found in the intestines of healthy humans and animals. Of the hundreds of types of E. coli, most are harmless. But some strains of E. coli are responsible for serious foodborne infections, including those that can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome. E. coli may be found in:
Most people who are infected with E. coli, even the more dangerous strains, won't develop hemolytic uremic syndrome. It's also possible for hemolytic uremic syndrome to follow infection with other types of bacteria.
In adults, hemolytic uremic syndrome is more commonly caused by other factors, including:
The cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome in adults is often unknown.
Those most at risk of developing hemolytic uremic syndrome are:
Young children and elderly adults are the most likely to be seriously ill from hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome can cause a number of serious, life-threatening complications, including:
Because most people with hemolytic uremic syndrome are admitted to the hospital after a trip to the emergency room or following a brief phone call or visit with their doctors, it's not likely that you or your child will have a routine office visit.
However, if you or your child is experiencing symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome after several days of diarrhea, call your doctor immediately and be prepared to answer these questions:
If you or your child has an illness that causes vomiting or diarrhea, it's a good idea to try to replace the fluids that have been lost with an oral rehydrating solution, such as CeraLyte, Pedialyte or Oralyte. Don't give yourself or your child any medication to stop diarrhea if you see any evidence of blood in the stool. These medications, such as bismuth subsalicylate (Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismol) and loperamide (Immodium), may increase the risk of hemolytic uremic syndrome.
If your doctor suspects hemolytic uremic syndrome, various lab tests may be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Hemolytic uremic syndrome requires treatment in the hospital. To ease immediate signs and symptoms and prevent further problems, hemolytic uremic syndrome treatment may include:
Despite the severity of the condition, appropriate treatment leads to a full recovery for most people with hemolytic uremic syndrome — especially young children.
In those who have some lasting kidney damage, following a low-protein diet and taking the blood pressure lowering medications known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors if blood pressure is high may prevent or delay further kidney damage.
A less common type of hemolytic uremic syndrome called atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome also is treated with plasma exchange. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of a medication called eculizumab (Soliris) for the treatment of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Eculizumab is a type of medication known as a monoclonal antibody. It prevents the continued destruction of healthy cells. However, this medication has a significant risk of serious infection. If possible, you or your child may receive the meningococcal vaccine before receiving this medication.
Specific preventive measures for hemolytic uremic syndrome aren't clear. However, it's always a good idea to take precautions against E. coli and other foodborne illnesses. It's important to note that meat or produce contaminated with E. coli won't necessarily look, feel or smell bad. Things you can do that will help reduce your risk of foodborne illness:
Also make sure that everyone in your family — including children — washes his or her hands after using the toilet or changing diapers and before eating. In child care facilities, diapers shouldn't be changed or disposed of in the same room where food is prepared or eaten.

How would you rank Miranda Kerr?
What other guys thought:

Why is Miranda Kerr desirable?
Last October, men around the world were suddenly filled with hope: Miranda Kerr was single again. We've long been admirers of the sylphlike model's impossibly pretty face and leggy physique, and though we're disappointed that she no longer walks the Victoria's Secret runways, we're thrilled that she's as in-demand as ever. Orlando, what were you thinking, letting her go?

I believe in celebrating the female figure and embracing what we've been given, not hiding that.

More: Why did you decide to get involved with Count Us, Know Us, Join Us?
Cate Edwards: Before my mother's diagnosis, I thought those affected by the disease were either survivors who beat cancer completely or women who lost their battles. I had no idea that there are people who go on to live for many years with advanced breast cancer. The early- and advanced-stage breast cancer communities are so different—I've found that the latter often feels isolated from the general "pink" movement, which focuses on prevention and early detection rather than how to live with the disease. I really want to ensure that women dealing with advanced breast cancer know that they aren't alone; that's a big part of what Count Us, Know Us, Join Us is about. The site has pooled existing resources such as advocacy hotlines, financial education materials, research news and peer-to-peer forums—all of which are specifically tailored to serve the advanced breast cancer community.
More: The transition from daughter to caregiver must have been a tough one. How did you deal with switching roles with your parent?
Cate: I wasn't parenting her; she was still very much a protective mother to me throughout that process. I just provided her with physical care and emotional support—which wasn't particularly new for us, as our relationship had always been one where we buoyed one another, to a large extent. I spent a lot of time focused on my mom; I wanted to be as selfless as possible. But we forget that when we're helping a loved one through advanced breast cancer, it's really important that we, as caregivers, reach out to others and get support for ourselves. I definitely didn't ask for as much assistance as I should have. Count Us, Know Us, Join Us also helps on that front, offering support not only to women who have cancer but also to their family and friends. By visiting the site, people can receive information on the disease and guidance on what to expect when caring for their sick family member.
More: You always hear people say, "Don't make someone else's illness about you." Did you feel as if you had to put aside your own emotions about your mother's illness—make them invisible—in order to be strong for her?
Cate: Yes, I was guilty of hiding my feelings in the beginning. But I wasn't fooling her! So we discussed how I was coping. She was a pillar of strength for me and I really relied on her. In a lot of ways, her ability to support me was her way of paying me back for what I was giving to her. It allowed her to be a parent in a time that she felt helpless.
More: What advice do you have for adult children who may feel guilty because they can't always be with an ill parent in person? If someone can't travel frequently or move her mother into her home, what are some ways to make up for the distance?
Cate: That was my exact situation. I lived in Washington, D.C. and my mom lived in Chapel Hill, NC, so I was physically apart from her most of the time. But you can be a really good caregiver from afar. I called my mother to check in on her on a regular basis. We even coordinated that we'd watch certain TV programs, so that we could call each other afterward and talk about them. Think of little things that allow you to feel connected when you're not together. I also planned a lot of mother-daughter trips. In 2009, we went to Detroit for the NCAA Final Four. There was a lot of intense basketball watching, which both of us really liked, so we weren't thinking about her disease. When she started to feel sicker, I took her to Lake Placid for a more relaxed outing—we went to dinner, watched the fall leaves change and got massages. You don't always have to be aggressively attacking life. Being normal together and spending quality time are just as valuable as anything else. We didn't know how much time we had left, so making every day count was important to both of us.
More: What's the best way to give back to the advanced breast cancer community?
Cate: Start by signing up to be counted as a patient, caregiver, family member, friend, or supporter. [Editors' note: The organization does not accept donations.] Simply acknowledging who you are and your connection to advanced breast cancer can help.

" It's probably not a bad idea to take a look at your current panty wardrobe. If the leg or waistbands are stretched out, the back consistently rides up, the seams or the body are frayed, it's probably time to toss"
•Meet Tomima
Let's be honest...
...if your underpants don't fit right, you're going to be miserable all day. The dreaded panty ride-up can be one of the most distracting situations to suffer through. It will affect your comfort level all day.
Therefore, it almost goes without saying that underpants need to fit your contours without creeping, and feel natural if you don't want to spend all day tugging and squirming.
Well, you never have to experience this again if the next time you go shopping for underpants, you purchase the size that's right for you.
Finding Your Personal Underpants Size
Determining your proper panty fit requires that you know two components: waist measurement and hip measurement. If possible, recruit someone to take your measurements. It's faster and tends to be more accurat.
The hardest part about purchasing lingerie that fits well and looks good, is knowing what to look for. There are so many choices in fabric, style and size to choose from today.
My goal in writing this causerie is to give you as much information as possible on sizing, fabrics, styles and fitting to make you make you your own undergarment expert, and thus create the perfect lingerie wardrobe for you. - Tomima
Waist Measurement
Measure your waist by placing the tape measure around the natural indentation or break in your waist. If you need help locating this indentation, bend to the side; the crease will be the location of your waist.
Hip Measurement
Measure the fullest part of your hips, making sure the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. This is your hip measurement.
Now that you know your two measurements, consult the chart below to determine your proper underpants size. If your measurements represent two different panty sizes, choose the larger of the two sizes.
Perfect Panty Fit Checklist
Are you sure you know how panties are supposed to fit? Take a quick look at our checklist to make sure you have the best fit possible.
Natural fitting crotch
A panty crotch should fit naturally against your body. There should be no excessive fabric in the front or back, and should definitely not be binding. If your panty has a front horizontal crotch seam, it should be visible from the front and not slip backwards. If it does, check to see that your panty isn't on backwards.
Waistband is snug but not binding
If your waistband keeps bunching up and rolling over in the front, you have the wrong size. Try a smaller size. The right size means your band stays in place and is comfortable.
Legs are snug but not binding
Panty legs should not be so tight that they cause grooves along your thighs. Leg openings should be evenly arched on both legs and the fabric should not be bunched or twisted. If you are still having trouble with binding legs, try a panty with a high cut leg style such as French cut.
Buttocks is cupped
Assuming you are not wearing a thong, the proper fit around the buttocks is balanced, symmetrical, covered and cupped. If not, you need a bigger size. Also, if some of your current panties are riding up, the elastic is probably shot and they need to be replaced.
Final Thought On Panties
We all know it's easy to keep panties for years without getting rid of it. After all, most of the time it's covered up by our clothes and no one else sees them. However, it's probably not a bad idea to take a look at your current panty wardrobe. If the leg or waistbands are stretched out, the back consistently rides up, the seams or the body are frayed, it's probably time to toss.
And never dismiss what your mother warned you about--you actually could end up in an emergency room or dressing room wearing the underwear you never intended anyone to see.
