John 16:33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
The Gospel of John Chapter 16 conveys the importance of sticking to your beliefs and living with and by those beliefs regardless of challenges you may face.
My family's faith has been tested but endured. We lost three young family members while I grew up and we grieved together and then pushed on.
Two of the three may have been prevented; that is why I am running the NYC ING Marathon for the Team Catholic Charities to help potentially prevent other families from suffering such losses. In addition, I am running in memory of my cousins Marc P. Zenkus (1982-2000) & Shawn M. Hendrickson (1978-1998) who both were lost to early.
The Catholic Charities work to strengthen families through multiple services including preventative services for families struggling with substance abuse and other challenges. I am looking forward to raising money to help families receive counseling, recover and overcome substance abuse.
Personally, on November 3rd of this year, I look to overcoming 26.2 miles for the first time ever. Actually, I have never run more than 10 miles until this week! Now is my time of tribulation, but you will see me again at the finish line in Central Park after overcoming maybe not the world but at least New York.

In the world of social media and online networking, the issue of safety continuously arises, particularly among teenagers. Cyberbullying, bullying that takes place using electronic technology, has unique challenges when compared to more traditional forms of bullying.
Parents need to be aware of what their teens are doing online and talk with them about cyberbullying and other online issues regularly. Initiate open conversation early on to reduce the teen's fear of losing their electronic communication privileges when they disclose cyberbullying instances.

Back when MySpace was popular, almost every student at my high school had a profile. For us MySpace was an online-place where we could thoroughly express ourselves. We would post pictures from our latest and greatest adventures, update our status to our current mood, and choose backgrounds and music that represented who we were as a person. However, at one point during my high school MySpace became less of a space for self-expression and more a place of cyberbullying. ... Continue ReadingPosted in Cyberbullying

ZF-11490: Zend Json Server error response with result
The server is adding result key in response even when it is error. According to http://groups.google.com/group/json-rpc/… This member MUST NOT exist if there was an error invoking the method.
So using most json rpc 2.0 clients will throw an exception. I currently comment out Zend/Json/Server/Response.php line 176 to make it work with jsonrpc clients.
-- EDIT: actually its same with error at line 184. This member MUST NOT exist if there was no error triggered during invocation. - for error
I confirmed it. The opposite is also true: if a request is succesful, an error property is included in the response, while it MUST NOT. My next action will be to create a unit test that confirms both bugs.
Added patches for Response.php and ResponseTest.php
Changed to patch, because there are patches now that you can use. I had to change existing unit tests, because they were wrong. The error and result may not coexist in the response.
If no one complains about the solution, I will commit this within a week. I will leave the issue open for integration in ZF 2.0
Committed to svn trunk at revision 24251
Merged into the 1.11 branch from revision 24251 in trunk.
The patch seems to not have made it in the 1.11.10 release
You are right. I can see it is not in the current 1.11 release branch. Something must have gone wrong with the original merge.
I have merged the changes from trunk back into the 1.11 release branch and commited the changes to the 1.11 branch. With the next mini release, this should become available. Thanks for your feedback.

I can't seem to stop making monsters. What with all the cute kids being born. Plus with those long arms begging to be wrapped around a wee one, well, who doesn't need a hug? Especially when you're little and trying to figure out the difference between Nana and Dada.
The yarn is from genius dyer, Meg of Sleep Season Goods. It was a custom colorway, but all her colors are ah-mazing! Want immediate gratification? You can also find her yarn at Denver's Wild Yarns and Fancy Tiger.
And do look up Rebecca Danger, she has toy patterns for every season and every reason.
I was knitting my way through a Broncos game last fall when a six-year-old sat down next to me convinced that knitting held infinitely more entertainment potential than the sporting event on offer. I showed her how the stitches worked and let her throw the yarn. When I showed her the Rebecca Danger monster I was knitting, she asked if I would make her one.
She also said, she wanted it in black. How can you say no?
It's taken a while, but here she is. Use Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky and you'll get a nice fat stuffy.
Apologies for the cat hair and fiber fill lint. Many sessions with the lint roller later and she's still covered in it.
Now don't get all jealous. Of course you ant chenille cat potholders of your very own. Meow!
These were designed by the one and only Garlic Queen. She is the creatrix behind many crocheted wonders including these confections. Want a set of kitty hot pads for yourself? Email me and I'll hook you up with the GQ herself. I'm pretty sure she can be bribed.
Brains have been much on our minds, given the tumble-down state of aging cerebra in the Nake-id gene pool, a concern that inspires yours truly to lard her morning porridge with coconut oil and stalk Dr. Grain Brain's blog. (Do y'all think gluten's the zombie apocalypse in grain form?) Are avocados the new kale? Should we load up our java with pasture-raised butter? Are carbs the new fats?
It's enough to make a girl make a diet of Tootsie Pops and red wine.
Joking aside, there are things about the way we live and eat, which are clearly amiss. Too much sitting. Too many digital screens. Too little face time with peeps. Too much fake food. And while it's easy to figure out that exercise is a good thing, the question of what to eat to benefit our grey matter seems to be more a matter of opinion than science. But do we have the time for science?
Meanwhile, the Clover Wonder Knitter aided and abetted in the creation of lobes pictured above--a fabulous pattern by med student Alana Noritake. Hard to believe, you can purchase fully realized versions on Etsy for about $30. Lined even. I wouldn't tack down all that I-cord again for $1,000. Like sewing spaghetti to the wall.
Anyhoo, it's done and fun! Hope your brains are having a glorious day.
Why look, another iteration of Kim's Earnin' Turban. This one in the sadly discontinued Debbie Bliss Cotton Silk Aran and modeled by the lovely Melissa.
I designed the turban for our friend Kim, in honor of her battle with lung cancer. The pattern is for sale with all proceeds going to benefit the University of Colorado's Lung Cancer Fund, which supports the groundbreaking research at CU keeping Kim and many others alive.
Lung cancer is a weird beast, not the least of which because it's the number one cancer killer of men and women in America, but also because it carries the stigma of smoking. It may be that the white ribbon lung cancer campaigns haven't caught on because the disease doesn't seem as random; it's something smokers get. But this simply isn't true. Every year, 16,000 to 24,000 people die of lung cancer who never smoked. Kim never smoked.
While I should have probably knit this turban in white for the awareness factor, I couldn't resist this gorgeous orchid, so very Pantone-color-of-the-year-2014.
In this season of giving, pass the word, make a donation or knit a turban in whatever color tickles your fancy.
I had the opportunity to write about this wonderful artist in the Holiday issue of Vogue Knitting. Sally Gilchrist is a painter, who in recent years has branched out into doing linocut prints. She's also a passionate knitter.
I've been hoping for many moons that Sally would create a line of "yarn art" and couldn't be happier that she's finally done it.
There are prints suitable for framing as well as notecards, postcards, gift tags and even a handmade book of linocut prints.
Just in time for the holidays. Isn't this a stylish body of work?
Inspired by editrix Erin, who wrought this incredibly cuteness, I went and did likewise. Seriously. When a man child is expected, who really wants to knit another wee navy-blue cardi?
Rebecca Danger's patterns are a caution, are they not? There really is a monster for every occasion. I chose Ursula the Understanding Monster because of the long arms, which to me was like sending Baby a big hug (in spite of the fact I couldn't be bothered to source the necessary felt for teeth.
This is the beautiful Dr. Kimberly Ringen, friend, neighbor, fashionista, veterinary oncologist, rabid Bronco fan, mama to fur babies Madison, Jill, Petey the pug and kitty Bernard, wife to Davin, sister, auntie, daughter, fisherperson and all-around good egg.
In June of 2013 at the age of 36, she was diagnosed with Stage IV ALK positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer. She ran half marathons. Was a competitive cyclist. And never smoked. Un. Freaking. Believable.
There is nothing good to be said about it except that Denver is the center for some of the world's most advanced research on Kim's rare cancer. Kim is enrolled in a clincal trial at the University of Colorado directed by the brilliant Dr. Ross Camidge. And she's doing well-ish.
Kim isn't our only loved one who has battled or is battling lung cancer. Dr. Camidge is also treating the lovely Polly, who not-so-affectionately calls her tumor, "that little f*cker." And Mr. Nake-id's dad has had his own lung cancer journey (caught incredibly early and treated successfully).
Given all of this serious guano we felt compelled to do a little something and hope you will join in. Though Kim's drug didn't devastate her hair, it's caused her red curls to thin a bit, hence the adorable pixie cut. And hair accessories can't hurt, especially now that the weather is turning. Ergo Kim's Earnin' Turban.
The pattern is a quick, fun knit and all proceeds will be donated to the University of Colorado's Lung Cancer Fund. The fund not only helps support the research that's keeping Kim and Polly alive, it also provides financial assistance to patients.
The pattern is available on Ravelry. If you aren't a knitter, please consider the University of Colorado's Lung Cancer Fund in your planning for end-of-year charitable gifts. They are doing remarkable work.
Thank you,
The Nake-ids
When we last left our heroine, she was blathering on about skincare. And why not? When there hasn't been anything knit-worthy to report in low these many months.
But there's been knitting. Slow, desultory knitting that even a 2,900-mile road trip couldn't nudge to completion. Sweaters. There's a reason folks don't knit them. Gah! I wanted it done!
Well here it is. Martin Storey's Boulevard (cropped by moi) from the Rowan City Retreat book.Knit up in that all-domestic wonder-worsted Peace Fleece in Porterfield Plum.
I adored this yarn which combined Native American wool with wool from Ohio all leavened with a bit of Texas mohair. If you don't like the whiff of the barn about your yarn, steer clear. But if you appreciate a little vegetable matter and that gorgeous, sheepy lanolin scent, this string is heavenly. Like my mother says, "real yarn."
Thinking about pairing this number with black culottes. Like these. Or these--perfection! (But where in the world did that word come from? Culottes?) Cuter than they sound. Really. With ankle boots.
Though the journey seemed epic, the finish couldn't have come at a better time. Here's the the advent of sweater weather!
Since our state has become the butt of jokes in the other 49 for legalizing recreational cannabis, I thought I'd weigh in with some Nake-id perspective:
First, we're not all getting royally stoned. Would there was the time. But with a bustling economy and lots of work to be done, most citizens are going about their day-to-day with nary a thought to pot.
Second, there are growing pains. Serious ones that need to be addressed, and, yes, regulated, namely the dosing issues and packaging of edibles.
Third, some of us have never taken to the stuff, salad days in the '70s, regardless. Seriously, munchies, at our age? Good on you if you can afford the calories.
But hemp. Ah, hemp is something entirely different. Hemp, the non-psychoactive cousin of cannibis, is so multipurpose and useful, why it's good for everything from knitting to helping vegans get their protein on.
Happily, our controversial statute allows for the cultivation of this wonderful cultivar, so Colorado will prove to be a bellwether not only for the recreational stuff but also for its more serious, hard-working relative.
While all the cool, green beauty bloggers are still agog over coconut oil (who likes digging it out of the jar?), I've found hemp oil to be more emollient and easy to use. Rich in fatty acids, Omega 3s and vitamin E, it's antioxidant, anti-wrinkle, anti-all-things-bad. And it smells like, um, fresh grass.
I don't use it on my face, but rather slather it on damp limbs apres bath. And, since I keep it in the fridge, it's also delightfully refreshing, especially in these temps.
Oils are all the rage these days in skincare and it's easy to see why. A single oil like hemp runs less than $20 for a bottle that will last months. Another to try: avocado oil, especially in the drying winter months.
Have fun. Pretend your a salad and lube up before you get dressed.

It's A Long Road…
Since I started watching baseball back in 1996, there has been one constant to my Minnesota Twins universe: getting healthy on the Kansas City Royals. Back in the late 90s, we would get many of our 60-70 wins per season by beating the boys in blue. Since 2001, we have looked forward to their presence (whether here or at Kauffman Stadium doesn't seem to make a difference) to fuel winning streaks and douse losing skids.
Tonight, the Twins once again outclassed the boys from KC, as Carl Pavano shut them down (8 IP, 2 ER) for most of the game, while Delmon Young continued to swing a healthy bat (HR #7) and the Twins banged out 10 hits en route to a 6-2 victory.
Seriously, and I would love to get some comments on this, why are the Royals still so bad? Besides a extraordinary early-season streak in 2003 (followed by an equally tremendous fade, of course) that gave them an over-.500 record, the last time they were eclipsing that mark was in 1994 when the strike hit. I just don't understand how a team can be "rebuilding" for that long and still have plays like what happened tonight: a guy fails to touch second base while trying to turn a double play, and their left fielder let a ball sail over his head after seeming to have it measured. This has been going on for far too long in KC, and I want to know why. I kind of feel bad for the organization and fans (be careful what you wish for, I know), as I know the frustration of enduring "lean years". Thoughts from KC fans or others are welcome.
Preview (35-24, 1st, 4.5 GA DET): Bruce Chen (2-0, 2.95) vs. Scott Baker (5-4, 4.52). Bruce Chen? Bruce Chen??!! Never again will I complain about the Twins having any pitching "woes".

Dwyane Wade moving off the Spoelstra bandwagon?
The given in the Heat coaching equation had been Dwyane Wade.
Erik Spoelstra was his guy. The two helped develop Wade into an NBA All-Star, dating to Spoelstra's time as a Heat assistant coach. No matter where the season took the pair, they would stand together.
Or not.
While Wade has not necessarily distanced himself from his coach, there hardly was an embrace Monday, during these troubling times for the team.
"In this league, and in sports in general, you really don't look at it and say a coach is your guy," Wade said after Monday morning's shootaround at AmericanAirlines Arena. "A coach is a coach and he has to take hard stances at times, more times than not.
"Players and coaches, it's always that kind of weird type of relationship. You don't look at him and say, 'That's my guy right there,' in the sense of me. Yeah, I came in when Spo was early in his coaching career. He wasn't even on the bench when I first came in. He's grown to know me; I've grown to know him."
And now?
"He's a different person and I'm a different player than when we came in," Wade continued. "So, I'm not going to say he's my guy, but he's my coach, you know. We listen to him and try to execute a game plan and sometimes players and coaches get into disagreements. In general, that's life with people. It's the nature of sports."
But it never has been the nature of Spoelstra and Wade. There seemingly was a deeper bond there.
So how would Wade evaluate Spoelstra's performance?
"Right now, in my opinion, no one is doing a good job, we're 9-8," Wade said. "We're all in this together. Players not doing a good job; coaches not doing a good job. As a whole. When success comes, we win as a whole. We win four in a row, Coach is going to look great."
No, this was not a vote of confidence, a vote of support. Clearly, party lines have been blurred within the Heat.

One of my favorite writers does not pen literary classics. This writer — Jane Brody — is an early leader in the nutrition movement and a proponent of healthy living overall. I've dog-eared the pages of her cookbooks and read her New York Times "Personal Health" column religiously. A recent article, "A Richer Life By Seeing the Glass Half Full," caught my attention for its parallels to women deliberating about a return to work.
So often I've spoken to women who say they truly want to work, but they show very little movement toward that goal. Potent negatives keep them in a "should I or shouldn't I?" limbo: less time with their children in the summers, more household logistics, a paycheck that probably will not measure up to the one they left behind. I hear all the negatives, but very few positives.
When you're on the fence, be fair to yourself and consider a return to work from both "glass half empty" and "glass half full" perspectives. Yes, there are things you give up when you return to work — but there are also many things that you gain.
Well yes, you say — I'd like more money, intellectual stimulation, self-fulfillment, challenge, etc. — but what are the chances I would actually find a job? In the current economy and with so much unemployment, it's easy to add hopelessness to the list of back to work negatives. For many women (and men) this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I contend, however, that anyone can find a meaningful job in any economy with the right attitude, sales skills and job search strategy.
Brody would definitely agree. Her article is a good reminder to job-seekers who throw up their hands: "…rather than giving up and walking away from difficult situations, optimists attack problems head-on. They plan a course of action, getting advice from others and staying focused on solutions."
Negativity conceals opportunity.
And it's even bigger than that. Missing out on work is definitely not the end of the world, but pessimism can take a definite toll on your own lifespan. Brody's article refers to a study that found over a 30-year period pessimists had higher death rates than optimists.
High drama aside, I know when you're considering a return to work that positives have to outweigh negatives. That ratio is for you to determine. I just want to be sure that the positives get a fair shake.
It's not a piece of cake to return to work, or to work while you have a family. But if you really want to add paid work to your life portfolio, it can be done. It is done successfully every day by women who do and do not have a choice.
Brody also says, "optimism is not about being positive so much as it is about being motivated and persistent." It takes work to find work, and make work "work" for you and your family. But when you see the glass half full, you know that with motivation, persistence and careful planning you (and your family) can eventually fill that glass to the very top with many positive rewards.

The Clash, having disbanded nearly six years earlier, score their first #1 U.K. single with a reissued "Should I Stay or Should I Go."
Clash on Broadway, a career-spanning three-CD box set, is released.
From Here to Eternity, the first Clash live album - taken from gigs between 1977 and 1982 - is compiled with input from the original members.
Joe Strummer of the Clash dies of heart failure at his home in Somerset, England.
The Clash is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the eighteenth annual induction dinner. The Edge of U2 and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine are their presenters.

Hypervitaminosis D is a condition that occurs after taking very high doses of vitamin D.
Vitamin D toxicity
The cause is excess intake of Vitamin D. The doses need to be very high, far above what a medical provider would normally prescribe.
There has been a lot of confusion caused by internet articles about Vitamin D supplementation. It is extremely unusual for anybody to need more than 2000 IU of Vitamin D a day.
For most people, Vitamin D toxicity only occurs with Vitamin D doses above 10,000 IU per day.
An excess of vitamin D causes abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia). This can severely damage the kidneys, soft tissues, and bones over time.
Tests to confirm the diagnosis:
Stop taking vitamin D. Talk to your health care provider. In severe cases, other treatment may be needed.
Recovery is expected.
Call your health care provider if:
To prevent this condition, pay careful attention to the correct vitamin D dose.

As the first director of the Bienes Museum, Jim and his colleagues produced a varied array of exceptional print pieces, at times in collaboration with expert collectors.
The Special Collections of Broward County Library
Broward County Library's Bienes Museum of the Modern Book
Broward County Library's Bienes Museum of the Modern Book is a state-of-the-art facility where rare books and special collections are housed, preserved and shared in conjunction with a space for related lectures, programs and exhibitions. The Museum was made possible through the generosity of Fort Lauderdale philanthropists Dianne and Michael Bienes. Support was also provided by a grant from the Broward Public Library Foundation with additional funding from the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, and the Florida Arts Council.
The Bienes Museum of the Modern Book: The Dianne and Michael Bienes Special Collections and Rare Book Library is located on the sixth floor of the Broward County Main Library in downtown Fort Lauderdale. The Museum opened to the public on December 4th, 1996, with James A. Findlay as the Bienes Museum Librarian.
The 8,300 square-foot facility was designed by Fort Lauderdale architect Donald Singer. The Museum features a stunning combination of glass, granite, ceramic tiles, and a dramatic, curved wood ceiling above slatted-wood walls. The inviting stained-glass entryway, entitled Passages, was created by Shelley Jurs as a commissioned work through the Broward County Public Art and Design Program. Elements of the glass design were inspired by Celtic knot work images from The Book of Kells, a ninth century Irish work represented in facsimile at the Museum.
The Museum has a Lobby reception area, several exhibition cases, a 25-seat Conference Room, and a 60-seat Ceremonial Room that is available for lectures and programs. Customers may view rare and special materials in the Reading Room.
Special Collections and Rare Books: The Bienes Museum houses special collections totaling more than 15,000 items, including rare books, artifacts, manuscripts, and reference materials. The majority of the holdings are secured in a humidity and temperature-controlled storage area. The librarian on duty in the Reading Room provides reference services and retrieves materials for customers.
Using the Special Collections Bienes Museum of the Modern Book: Materials in the collections are accessible in the Reading Room at the Bienes Museum but not available for check-out. To use the materials, customers must present a photo I.D., sign a guest book, store personal belongings in a locker, and present their requests to the librarian, who will retrieve the items.

The Broward County Historical Commission, created in 1972, is committed to preserving records and artifacts of the County's heritage and raising awareness of local history. The mission of the BCHC is "To recognize, protect and support the historical interests of the communities of Broward County and to serve as an advisory board to the County Commission of Broward County, Florida."

Open Women Win Fourth Straight Eisenberg Cup, Top Yale On Housatonic
The Princeton open women moved to 5-1 on the season, 4-1 in the Ivy League, with an open water victory over Yale Saturday morning on the Housatonic River. With the win, Princeton retains the Eisenberg Cup, which goes to the winner of the varsity showdown.
Princeton now leads the all-time series 28-11, and the Tigers have won each of the last four meetings with Yale. In the varsity eight competition, Princeton posted a winning time of 6:08.6, while Yale finished second in 6:17.2.
"The race was a solid piece for the boat from start to finish," senior stroke Heidi Robbins said. "We were able to find a strong speed for the bulk of the race from which we could take moves together and respond to our coxswain's calls."
"This week, we had been focusing on finding a strong, consistent rhythm regardless of conditions and race situation," senior Molly Hamrick said. "We were happy with the way we stayed internal today and executed the race plan that we had been practicing. While we are always searching for more speed, we are happy with our performance today, both as a boat and a team."
That win was a highlight during a strong morning for the Tigers, who also claimed wins in the other two NCAA Championship format events, the second varsity (6:16.9, 9.9 seconds) and the varsity four (7:13.5, 3.3 seconds).
"This was definitely a good step in the right direction," Robbins said. "It was inspiring to be part of such a great team performance."
The Princeton third varsity (6:23.9) earned a win over the Tiger 4V and the Yale 3V, while the Princeton V4B finished in 7:08.9 to win by more than five seconds.
"Every boat in the program performed well this weekend," head coach Lori Dauphiny said. "We have been working hard as a team and it was nice to see it pay off. Yale looked solid and we know they will be tough in the future."
The win helps send Princeton into its final stretch with some new momentum. The Tigers will close their Ivy League schedule when they compete for the Class of 1984 Plaque against both Penn and Dartmouth on Lake Carnegie.
On May 19, the league will meet on Cooper River for the second Ivy League Sprints. Every varsity eight will have lost at least once to an Ivy League foe, which sets up a potentially wild sprint to the league title and the automatic bid to the NCAA Championships.
"We try to approach every practice, every stroke, with a sense or urgency and intent, and have done so since September," Hamick said. "With the Ivy championships drawing near, this especially holds true, and we will continue to search for more speed on a daily basis."

He goes on to tell the story of how Napoleon honored Veuve (Widow) Clicquot's wine by using his sabering to lop off the top.Supposedly this was a compliment to the widow's beauty, but judging from this portrait,
I have to think it was a salute to the joy-power of bubbly wine. Or the Corsican was seeing stars, not just tasting them.
Then Antonio raises a bottle in one hand, the sword in the other, and whoosh! Off with its head. The bottle's head.
Antonio's awesomely good at this; he's in training to top the Guinness World Record of 21 bottles sabered in 20 seconds-he showed us a video of his practice round on his iPhone. (This is sort of a St. Regis thing.)
But Friday night, in honor of St. Regis' monthlong Octoberfest beer celebration, he sabered a bottle of Squatters Hells Keep, made by Utah Brewers Cooperative. and beer instead of champagne was passed among the guests for toasting.
Afterwards at the beer vs. wine dinner in the J&G Grill, each course was paired with a beer from Utah Brewery's selection and a wine from the restaurant's 9000-bottle cellar. Our vote? The High Star carrot salad went best with beer; the Snake River Farms pork belly was a draw between the Tk and the Tk; the duck breast was perfect with the Sonoma pinot noir and the apple confit dessert-though interesting with the hefeweizen, was sublime with the vin de glaciere. Overall, the evening itself was a winner-and a far cry from the hoighty-toighty image many have of this five-star hotel. The dining room was lively with wine and beer drinkers (Utah's godfather of brew, Greg Schirf et ux were there), families with children, people celebrating birthday parties and twenty-something guests. And afterwards, we slept snug as bugs in rugs in our high thread-count sheets. As Alexander, our awesome butler-who used to work at Buckingham Palace-knows.
The St. Regis Octoberfest runs every weekend through October. Don't miss it.

About the American Music Masters® Series
The American Music Masters® series, a co-production of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities at Case Western Reserve University, celebrates the lives and careers of artists who changed the shape and sound of American culture. Drawing together experts, artists, fans and friends, the series provide new perspectives on the most beloved and influential musicians of the past century.
The tribute concert brings together a diverse mix of artists and musical styles, and as a result, many magical moments have taken place over the years. In 2004, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. This year the pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for "Please Read the Letter" at the 51st annual Grammy awards. Honoree Jerry Lee Lewis, who was not scheduled to perform at the 2007 concert, was moved to take the stage at the end of the show. Lewis tenderly played the piano and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". At the first American Music Masters tribute concert, Bruce Springsteen set the bar high and performed in honor of Woody Guthrie. The most star-studded and unique performance by a trio was Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello paying tribute to Sam Cooke in 2005. Last year, a 93-year-old Les Paul took the stage with his trio and then led an epic jam with some of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, from Jennifer Batten to Slash.

I chose to study at Cardiff University because of its reputation. I plan to study Public Relations and Cardiff University is ranked highest in the UK for this course. I am doing the Bridge programme to improve my academic English skills before I start my postgraduate course.
I really enjoy the course. I have good classmates and they come from many countries, so it is very diverse. My speaking and listening have improved a lot since I started this course. The teachers encourage us to give our opinions and it is interesting to hear what different people think. I am less reserved about speaking now.
I bought a bicycle and I have been exploring the cycle routes around Cardiff, including the Taff Trail, which follows the river Taff up to a castle above Cardiff. It is a beautiful city. I've also been spending time with British students who are studying Japanese at Cardiff University, and playing football.
I would strongly recommend the Bridge programme at Cardiff University to others. It improves your IELTS score, but it also lets you experience life as a student in a British University. We are full students of the university, so we stay in university accommodation and we can use the libraries and all the university facilities that students on degree programmes have access to.

As Mother's Day approaches, you might find yourself planning special treats for grandmas, mothers-in-law, sisters, special friends, aunts and anyone else who might play a special role in your child's life. Do your special plans include your child care provider? Maybe your provider is a mother, also. Or the grandmotherly type who loves to share hugs with your little one. If so, you may have your provider on your list of those to celebrate on Mother's Day.
But did you know the Friday before Mother's Day is a day set aside every year to recognize your child care provider? Provider Appreciation Day is always the Friday before Mother's Day. This year, it is May 6. The annual day of celebration is designed to recognize child care providers, teachers and all educators of young children. So why not take the time this year to make this day extra special for your child's caregiver?
Here are some ideas adapted from www.providerappreciationday.org
Your child care provider is special to both you and your child. Provider Appreciation Day is just one day set aside to recognize the work early childhood professionals do. Make sure to take time throughout the year as well, to let your child care provider know how much you appreciate the work she is doing with your child.
For more information on Provider Appreciation Day, go to www.providerappreciationday.org

- Sat., Dec. 5 ~ Plan to participate in the Holiday Stroll & Sleigh Ride on Main Street from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and don't forget to attend the Woodbridge Community Choir's Holiday Sing-A-Long at the First Presbyterian Church of Woodbridge , 600 Rahway Avenue , at 7:30 p.m.

Meet the Cook: As a cattle rancher, my husband's a big fan of beef. For him to comment on a poultry dish is rare. But he always tells me, "I love this casserole!"

Sakuma Drops are a famous Japanese hard candy that's considered a classic piece of culture. It's been around before World War II, and has a very iconic tin that holds the fruity candies. If you're ever seen the anime movie "Graveyard of the Fireflies", these candies are featured throughout the film and has contributed to their continued popularity. Japan loved making limited edition candies, as shown by the constant stream of strangely flavored Kitkats that come out with each season. Well, now it's Sakuma Drop's turn!
These Sakuma Drops are based on flavors you find in specific regions of Japan. Each place is noted for a special type of food product, and here the Sakuma Drops highlights them. I was given these free samples graciously from Jlist.com, who was eager to see what I thought of this special Japanese candy. Onto the tasting!
Buta Don: The drop itself is honey-tea colored, the flavor is subtle and sweet at first. There's notes of soy sauce and smoke. The flavor doesn't escalate much from there, I get a hint of ginger flavor (maybe trying to mimic the subtle starchy sweetness of rice?), so it tastes like "candy" to me more than "pork". I also haven't eaten buta don in some time, but this is a delightful sweet/savory flavor like a good pork glaze. I admit, it's pretty good.
Sasebo Burger:. This at first just tastes sweet, but then a smokey, beefy flavor kicks in that really tastes like a hamburger. You get a taste of sweetness, like there's ketchup in there, but man….the flavor is authentic and it's very strange. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact I'm eating a hard candy that tastes so accurately of hamburgers. I can't decide if I like it or not, cause it was fun and tasty to eat, but my head just keeps thinking "this isn't right….". Definitely worth a try if you're a big hamburger lover.
Kisune Udon: The drop smells smokey. It's immediately sweet/salty of soy sauce. It has flavors of udon noodle soup, hints of smoke and seaweed of the hondashi broth. I don't really get any flavors inari packets, which are fried tofu bits which are the distinguishable characteristic of the kitsune udon soup. Again, it's tasty, but not something I crave. Part of my head is not able to wrap itself around the ideas of a savroy candy drop.
Roasted Corn: Smells buttery and is a more yellow color than the other which were a light creamy beige. The flavor is lightly sweet, very smoky with a hint of butter and an authentic flavor of corn. It's spot on and pretty yummy. I actually kept eating these.
Tokyo Noodle: Starts off sweet, flavors of light notes of miso and soy sauce. It has the starchy sweetness of noodles and broth, a hint of meat. It's very authentic with no hints of seaweed. I don't recall what regional Tokyo ramen has in it (a quick google search tells me it's soy-flavored chicken broth). But its very authentic and works well as a candy drop.
Gyouza: These are immediately savory and has notes of toasted sesame. it's has a very distinguished grilled flavor to it, and it reminds me pumpkin seeds. It's totally savory, but somehow in this flavor, it works. I liked it.
Sapporo Beer: It's sweet, mild in flavor, and has a nice malty flavor to it. A hint of lemon maybe, which much be the alcoholic flavor trying to peek through. It's the most traditional candy-like one in the bunch, and I enjoyed it very much.
Oh man these were fun to taste and a I'm so glad I got the opportunity to try them. I liked the ones I thought wouldn't work, and I disliked the ones I thought would, and overall they were a pleasant surprise. I love candies like this that open up my candy experiences to new unique places. Pork flavored or not, I really recommend trying Sakuma Drops if you ever get the chance.

October is nearly over, but we couldn't let Breast Cancer Awareness Month go by without plugging a way to get your calcium and help fight breast cancer.
One of Winder Farms' most popular milks, Strawberry, adopted a cause in May of this year to help raise money and awareness to battle breast cancer. Teaming up with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Winder Farms will donate a portion of their Strawberry Milk sales to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to be used towards breast cancer screening, treatment programs and research. Since the promotion's start in May already $2,500 has been raised from sales of the 16 oz. and half-gallon bottles.
While Winder Farms feels the community has responded positively and supported the efforts to raise money, they hope that because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month it will end with even higher support and raise even more money.
This is Winder Farms first promotional event with strawberry milk, but they look forward to raising more money for breast cancer awareness in the upcoming year. For more information, visit the Winder Farms website here.

Here are answers to some common questions about burning CDs and DVDs in Windows Media Center.
To burn a CD in Windows Media Center, you must have a CD burner connected and installed on your computer. A CD burner can be installed internally or externally on your computer, depending on the type of CD burner. Internal CD burners are installed in one of the computer's drive bays. External CD burners are stand-alone drives that are connected to your computer using a USB 2.0 connection, or in some cases, using an IEEE 1394 connection.
You can use either a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc for burning CDs in Windows Media Center. The types of recordable CDs that you use depends on the type of recordable CDs that your CD burner supports and the type of disc that you prefer. When burning CDs, you should know that not all CD players can play CD-RW discs. You can use Windows Media Center to burn the following types of CDs:
Audio CD. When you burn an audio CD, Windows Media Center converts digital audio files to an audio format that standard CD players can recognize and play back. Audio CDs can be played in most computers and in home and car CD players that play CD-R and/or CD-RW discs. You can burn an audio CD from either Windows Media Audio (WMA), MP3, or WAV audio file formats.
Some digital audio files may be protected and you may not be able to burn them to a CD, depending on the media usage rights that are assigned to the particular digital audio files by the content provider or owner.
Data CD. A data CD can store approximately 700 megabytes (MB) of music, pictures, or video files. Data CDs are also useful if you want to back up your data files. When you burn a data CD in Windows Media Center, the digital media files are not converted from one format to another and are merely copied to the CD. Keep in mind, however, that some CD players and computers may not be able to play data CDs or some of the file types that can be burned to a data CD.
To burn a DVD in Windows Media Center, you must have a DVD burner connected and installed on your computer. A DVD burner can be installed internally or externally on your computer, depending on the type of DVD burner. Internal DVD burners are installed in one of the computer's drive bays. External DVD burners are stand-alone drives that are connected to your computer using a USB 2.0 connection, or in some cases, using an IEEE 1394 connection.
The type of recordable DVD disc you use depends on your DVD burner. Certain DVD burners can only burn to certain types of recordable DVDs. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to a DVD+R or DVD+RW or to a DVD-R or DVD-RW. However, other DVD burners will let you burn to all of these recordable DVD types. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD burner can burn, consult the manual that came with your DVD burner.
As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can burn a DVD in Windows Media Center by using one of the following types of recordable or re-recordable DVDs: DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW.
In Windows Media Center, you can burn the following types of DVDs:
Video DVD. When you burn an video DVD, Windows Media Center converts all the selected video files to a video format that standard DVD players can recognize and play back. Also, in many cases, you can play back the video DVD on your computer as well by using Windows Media Center.
Data DVD. When you burn a data DVD in Windows Media Center, the digital media files are not converted from one format to another and are merely copied to the DVD. Data DVDs are useful if you want to back up your digital media files and a single-sided DVD disc can store approximately 4.7 gigabytes (GB) of music, pictures, or video files. For example, you might want to back up all the different digital photos that you have stored on your computer, as well as music and video files. Keep in mind, however, that some DVD players and computers may not be able to play data DVDs or some of the file types that can be burned to a data DVD.
Data CDs or data DVDs can only be accessed later on a computer, not on consumer electronics devices such as stand-alone CD players and DVD players.
Some digital media files or content may be protected and, when archived to a CD or DVD, you may not be able to play them on other computers. The media usage rights can specify how you can use the file and whether the media usage rights expires. For example, media usage rights can specify whether you can copy the file to a portable device or play it on another computer.
Some recorded TV shows or video files may be protected. You may not be able to burn the protected video files to a DVD, depending on the rights assigned to the video files by the content owner, originator, or broadcaster.
Slide Show DVD. When you burn a slide show DVD in Windows Media Center, the selected pictures are encoded into an MPEG-2 video file and any selected audio files are encoded into Dolby Digital audio. For a slide show DVD, the pictures display as the music plays. You can play a slide show DVD in a standard DVD player, as well on your computer in Windows Media Center.
The amount of video that you can fit on a DVD depends on the type of recordable DVD that you are using.
The following list is the estimated amount of video that can fit on a DVD when burning a video DVD using Windows Media Center. The type of DVD media you can use depends on the DVD burner that you have installed on your computer.
DVD media type: Single-Sided Single Layer
Average amount of video and audio: 120 minutes
DVD media type: Single-Sided Double Layer
Average amount of video and audio: 220 minutes
The following factors play a role in how long it will take to burn a DVD:
Available system resources on your computer. The speed of your computer processor, amount of available disk space, and amount of RAM play a role in determining how long it will take to encode the video and burn it to a DVD.
The speed of your DVD burner, as well as the type of recordable DVD media you are using. A faster DVD burner with faster recordable DVDs results in decreased burning times, compared to burning a DVD using a slower DVD burner with slower recordable DVDs.
Length of the video on the DVD. When you use Windows Media Center to create a video DVD, all of the video and audio must first be converted into a video and audio file format that DVD players can decode and play. Long videos will take longer to burn.
You might want to include digital pictures and music on the DVD when creating a DVD slide show. Pictures and music are encoded into the MPEG-2 video format and Dolby Digital audio and therefore, they will increase the time it takes to create and burn the slide show DVD.
You will see a notification if you add several different video files, such as recorded TV shows, to a video DVD. This notification appears because Windows Media Center will attempt fit the selected video files on the disc. However, for all the selected video files to fit on the disc, the quality of each video file may be lowered. This, in turn, results in reduced quality video files on your final DVD, compared to a DVD that does not include as much video.
Before burning starts, Windows Media Center performs an initial check of the files in your burn list. In some cases, a file may have an error condition that prevents it from burning, or the file may be protected with media usage rights that either prohibit burning it to an audio CD or limit the number of times the file can be burned to an audio CD. When Windows Media Center encounters one or more files with a problem during the initial check, a notification to give you the option of either skipping the files and continuing with burning the other files in the list or stopping the burn process so that you can try to resolve the problem. If Windows Media Center finds problems with any other files after the initial check, it will be necessary to resolve the problems or remove the files from your burn list before you can continue burning.
An analog or digital TV tuner is required to play and record live TV in Windows Media Center. If your computer did not come with a TV tuner card, you might be able to add one. For information about obtaining a TV tuner card, see Get help for your TV tuner card or contact your computer manufacturer.
