A Conversation with Sarah Bird, author of the novel The Flamenco Academy
How did you decide to take on the subject of Flamenco for a novel?
The one subject that I always knew I wanted to write about was an obsessive love affair I had that began when I was 16 and fell in love at first sight with a deliriously handsome young man and remained so until I was 23. For years I tried to capture this experience on paper, but it always came out as a suburban melodrama.
When I was 20 and living with Beloved, I walked in on him in bed with a friend. Realizing that I had to put at least an ocean between us or I would never break free, I went to Europe.

One very late night, very early morning, in a tiny club outside of Barcelona, I saw an astonishing performance of what I would learn later was flamenco.
Flamenco was the first materialization Id witnessed that mirrored my tumultuous inner landscape. Decades later, as I was struggling to make a novel convey the experience of obsessive love, I ...

text: Using the Firefox based Flock browser (2.5.6), I've noticed what appears to be a display anomaly with the swfupload sprite "button_image_url :" in the Flash Uploader, wherein the sprites are misaligned vertically (top 2-3px of next sprite shows) and there is a small block of white showing to the left of the button. This anomaly is NOT evident in IE6 or Firefox 3.5.2 and I would be tempted to lay the blame squarely on Flock, however checking multiple SWFUpload instances across a variety of local and hosted installations and configurations (demos etc.), the anomaly does not present itself in Flock, or either of the other two Browsers mentioned above. This appears to be WordPress specific, and I would be happy to work with you toward discovering the cause and effecting a solution if only someone here might suggest where in WordPress core to begin looking.

What's the right ratio of carbs and protein? I was on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet to try to lose weight but my workouts sucked. I know carbs are important for athletes -- but what's the right balance?
The good news is carbohydrates are NOT fattening so you have no need to cut back on them as a part of a weight reduction plan. Excess calories are fattening, in particular,excess calories of fat. People lose weight when they give up carbs because they actually give up the dietary fat that accompanies the carbs:
--butter on the potato,
--mayo on the sandwich,
--cheesesauce on thepasta.
Initially,the dieters also lose water-weight, because for each one ounce of carb stored in your muscles as glycogen, your body stores about three ounces of water. When you deplete the carbs by exercising, you lose the water (weight).
The carbohydrates in fruits, vegetables and grain-foods are important for athletes because only carbs convert into muscle glycogen, the fuel that keeps you from "hitting the wall." Glycogen depletion is associated with fatigue. You'll have trouble doing hard exercise with a low carb diet.
You should plan a sports diet that includes quality carbs as the foundation of each meal, such as
--cereal for breakfast,
--sandwich bread with lunch, and
--starch(rice, noodles, pasta, potato) with dinner.
Round out the meal with more carbs from fruits and veggies.
You want more grams of carbs than grams of protein. Include at least 200 to 300 calories of grain-food per meal—about 1/3 of your plate. Protein should take up about ¼-1/3 of the plate and be the accompaniment to the carbs, but not the main focus of the meal. Choose additional "quality carbs" from fruits, vegetables and whole grain breads to round out the meal. These are preferable to the sugary carbs (sweets and treats) that can also fuel your muscles but fail to invest in optimal health.
Fuel wisely and feel great!

Reiche Community School - Kevin Brewster, Chris Keegan, Lori Bobinsky -Lead Teachers
October, 2012 Reiche TLS Update
Our second teacher led year is underway! We had a smooth opening and are off and running. We have already had national visitors and expect more as the year goes on.
Our very active Parent Organization has created a Reiche PTO website and a Reiche Community School facebook page! This year they held the 5th Annual Reiche International 5K Road Race and flea market which raised over 10,000 for After School Enrichment!
We began working on our sustainability structure last spring and that work continues. We are working with NEA's Ellen Holmes who has worked with us since last year and she has been AWESOME! We feel confident we will be able to sustain this teacher led structure for years to come. We have the framework and are working out the finer points. We are looking at a 3 year rotating structure which will involve a year of "shadowing" before taking on a role. Ellen is also facilitating "Building a Collaborative Culture" with our staff. She has been invaluable in this work!
March, 2012 Reiche TLS Update!
The staff at Reiche have been very busy this year. Our transition to TLS has been lots of work and a learning experience but we are a happy, hard working staff!
To quickly update our community and anyone following our journey on this wiki I would like to share where we are now. As per the School Committee requests, we conducted surveys of staff and parents in November. Both surveys were incredibly positive with both groups scoring in high 90 %ages with agree or strongly agree responses!
The End of February, as per SC request, we took a staff vote on whether we wanted to continue as a TLS or begin a search for a principal and return to the more traditional model. The staff overwhelmingly voted 92% to continue as a TLS! We are on our way!
We would again, like to thank the Portland Education Association, especially President Kathleen Casasa, and our Central Office administration, particularly, Superintendent Dr. Jim Morse who both have always had full confidence in our ability to be teacher led!
Reiche Community School - A Teacher Led School in Portland Maine!July, 2011
We are very excited to be the first public, teacher led and teacher governed school in Portland and in Maine! As of July 1, Reiche no longer has a principal. Instead, we have lead teachers, a leadership team, and 4 standing committees. Our leadership model was developed as a result of our "year of exploration". The four committees were formed before school ended, June, 2011. Every educational staff member is on a committee (teachers and ed techs/facilitators). The 4 chairs of those committees, along with the lead teachers, 2 parents, a CO rep and a PEA rep will make up the leadership team.
After a rigorous interview process, our interview team, made up of teachers, an ed tech, parents and our superintendent, Dr. Jim Morse, hired 2 half time release lead teachers. All 5 candidates were exceptional. Congratulations to Kevin Brewster, kg teacher, and Chris Keegan, special education teacher. They will teach 1/2 day and perform day to day administrative tasks 1/2 day. Teachers will be hired for the two 1/2 time release positions. This fall the staff will consider a 3rd lead teacher position with no release time, instead this lead teacher would receive a stipend for summer work and work outside the school day. Lori Bobinsky, our literacy coach/data literacy specialist, applied and was interviewed, should the staff support this position. For this summer, Lori has agreed to do the work and will be paid with district funds.

June 20, 2016 Update – Thanks for checking out our website – a complete review of Singing Success. We're so happy to have you here and know you're very interested in learning how to sing better. There are a lot of different singing lessons online, but many claim that Singing Success is one of the best out there. We also think that this program is a great option for any aspiring vocalist or singer. But you don't just have to take our word for it. We've been put on to an absolutely fabulous and thorough Singing Success review from DeviantNoise.com and think everyone should take a look to get another perspective on this particular online singing lesson.
And now, onto our original review!
Are Brett Manning's Online Singing Lessons Worth It?
Welcome to Singing Success Review – we're a mini-site dedicated to giving you the best information available about Singing Success by Brett Manning.
If you're interested in learning how to sing online, then these online singing lessons have undoubtedly come across your path.
An Overview of Singing Success
Singing Success is a $199.95 singing program that was created and is taught by one of the most famous vocal coaches in existance – Brett Manning.
Brett has worked with singers from Haley Williams to Taylor Swift and even Keith Urban. And Brett has helped thousands of singers achieve their best possible vocals through his tried and tested techniques.
There are many other singing courses out there, but truly Singing Success is one of the best.
Singing Success Price – How Much Does It Cost?
The program can be purchased for a one-time fee of $199.95, but is also available through a number of installments.
- Two monthly payments of $99 + $4 fee
- Four monthly payments of $49.75 + $4 fee
Although the price tag is a big higher than other singing lessons, some say that this is well worth it because of all the singer focused content you get.
How Long Does Singing Success Take?
The course is structured in a way where you can go through the lessons at your own pace. So there is no overall scheduled you have to stick to. You can go through all the material in a few days if you wanted to but that's not the best way to use it.
There are 17 singing lessons plus a studio training DVD and a workbook. The skill level of people that should take singing success is from beginner to intermediate and even advanced/experienced singers.
There's something in it for everyone. So if it's a self-directed singing course, how long should it take?
How to Use Singing Success Properly
With any music lessons you take, there will be a huge learning curve at first. It's going to feel like you're not getting anywhere, but don't fret because you are making progress everytime you practice!
So rather than go through ALL the material all at once and try doing everything you learn (which would be impossible), you should break up the lessons.
And you don't have to do everything that comes in the course either. If you've already got a great singing voice and just want to improve, go through the sections and vocal singing techniques most relevant to you.
Learn about a concept/topic that you're interested in and get good at it before moving onto the next section/topic.
How to Practice Singing Success
The best thing you can do is follow a schedule like I've laid out below when you're trying to learn new singing exercises.
Monday: Read through the course material or watch the videos. Try things out and come up with a couple of key practice techniques from the lessons.
Tuesday: 30-60 minutes practicing what you read about on Monday (no additional reading! Just practice what you already read.)
Wednesday: 30-60 minutes practicing
Thursday: 30-60 minutes practicing
Friday: 30-60 minutes practicing
Saturday-Sunday: Practice for an hour. Or take one of the days off if you want to rest your voice.
Monday: Move on to the next lesson/vocal exercise/breathing technique and REPEAT the above schedule.
Keep doing this until you get all the way through the different areas of the Singing Success program.
This may seem like it will take months (and it will..) but it also ensures that you get THE MOST benefit from the singing tutorials.
Don't try and rush things – this isn't a race. You want a beautiful singing voice for the rest of your life right? So take your time and do things properly.
How Good is Singing Success?
Singing success is a really great program for anyone who's interested in becoming a better singer. Even if you don't think you can sing right now, the tutorials and techniques/exercises in the program can help you get the best voice possible.
The thing is… you have to actually put the stuff you learn into practice.
Don't think you can just read the book and watch the videos and automatically be a better singer. That's not how Singing Success (or any other singing lesson) works.
You have to actually practice the stuff you learn – that's why we recommend the above schedule when you're going through the program.
But if you stick to it, and you do the exercises (and you practice diligently) there's no doubt that your voice will become better.
Singing Success is a really good program and can make you a better singer – but you have to be willing to put in the work.
How Often Should I Use Singing Success?
So, you're willing to put in the work and get yourself a better singing voice?
But now you're wondering how often you'll need to use the exercises you learn in singing success.
My recommendation would be – all the time.
I'm not saying you're going to be stuck doing the same stuff over and over again for life – that's not it at all.
But you do need to understand that it takes work (constant work) to have a beautiful voice.
It's kind of like working out. Sure you can work out for a couple of months and get a great body. But if you don't keep it up, you'll likely lose all your muscle and get fat again over time.
You have to keep working out to maintain a great body.
The same goes for your voice. You have to keep working it out and making it better. That's the only way to truly be a singing sensation.
Does Singing Success Really Work?
It does. And the people at Singing Success are so confident about the methods and techniques they teach that they're willing to give you a money-back guarantee if you're not fully satisfied with their product.
That's right! You can try it out for up to 6 whole months and if you don't like it you can return it for a full refund.
Now that's confidence.
So if you want to really find out if singing success is right for you, you have nothing to lose and everything (including a beautiful singing voice) to gain!
So why not try it out? It's virtually risk free!
Where to Buy Singing Success
The best place to get singing success is directly from the company itself. There's no need to go through a re-seller or anything like that.
Just click this link and you'll be taken to the official website where you can buy with confidence.
Thanks again for checking out our detailed review of singing success. We'll be keeping this page updated with new information as it becomes available, so be sure to stop by again.
And if you've tried singing success and have an opinion on the program, please share it with us in the comments!
We'd love to hear from you! And if you found this article helpful, please share it on Facebook or Twitter with people you know will also find it helpful.
To your singing success!

Is there any simple and straightforward way in which I can set my Debian 6.0 box to automatically login, at startup, with the root account on the console?
There is no GUI (xserver) installed on the machine.
I don't have a Debian install handy, but this method works for Slackware and should apply just as well to any system which uses inittab.
As root, edit the file
Replace that line with (or better yet, comment it out and add) one which reads as follows:
Save the file and reboot.
You can enable the autologin by modifying the inittab file.
Using any editor Open the file inittab. I have used vim editor
Serach for the line.
Replace with as follow
After modifying the inittab restart the system.
Note: before modifying the inittab, keep the backup of it.
Both answers from here didn't work on my os,
I use CUBIAN which is an Debian wheezy based os for ARMv7 on Cubieboard
and my solution (working for me) is using rungetty :
install rungetty
edit /etc/inittab
comment out
and add
edit .bash_profile and at the bottom add
then it worked !
Thanks to MeanDean on Debian user forum.

American Shakespeare Center
The American Shakespeare Center was founded in 1988 as a professional traveling troupe, the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express. In 1999 the company settled in Staunton, Virginia to create an energetic hub of theater, scholarship, and education. They adopted their current name in 2005 to better reflect their mission: to recover the joys and accessibility of Shakespeare's theater, language, and humanity by exploring the English Renaissance stage and its practices through performance and education. The company is home to resident and traveling troupes, distinctive education programs, and the Blackfriars Playhouse, the world's only re-creation of Shakespeare's indoor theatre. The American Shakespeare Center produces a rotating repertoire of 14-17 plays that run 12 months a year in the 300-seat playhouse. Their traveling troupe is on the road six months a year, performing and providing educational workshops in performing arts centers, high schools, community centers, and colleges throughout the United States. Through the use of some of Shakespeare's original staging conventions - including universal lighting, minimal sets, a brisk pace, and a deep attention to the language - the company creates a distinctive connection to, and relationship with, audiences of every age.
American Shakespeare Center will present student matinees of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Antony and Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Henry V, The Tempest, and The Winter's Tale. The company will provide related educational activities, including workshops, residencies, and a study guide. They anticipate reaching 235 schools in District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

77 Records
77 Records was a British record label set up in 1957 by Doug Dobell, the proprietor of Dobell's Jazz Record Shop at 77 Charing Cross Road, London. The label specialised in folk, blues and jazz recordings.
Several British jazz musicians, such as Acker Bilk, Bruce Turner, Tubby Hayes, Les Condon, Dick Morrissey, Brian Lemon and Buck Clayton, recorded on the label in the mid 1960s.[1]
British rhythm and blues performers such as Alexis Korner also recorded for 77 Records, as did many American artists. 77 Records also distributed US labels, included recordings by Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Lightnin' Hopkins, Scrapper Blackwell, Reverend Gary Davis, Robert Pete Williams, Big Joe Williams, Sunnyland Slim, Joe Turner, Little Brother Montgomery, Yank Rachell, and Sleepy John Estes.[1]
A 1963 album by Dick Fariña and Eric von Schmidt, released on the offshoot Folklore label, featured "Blind Boy Grunt", alias Bob Dylan, on harmonica.[1] The label also reissued recordings licensed from independent American record labels such as Arhoolie.[2]
In 1960, Dobell started a short-lived spin-off label, Folklore, which released albums by Steve Benbow, Dominic Behan, Richard Fariña and Eric von Schmidt, and Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner, amongst others.[1]

Skip to comments.CNN PLANS SHAKEUP AT HEADLINE (response to dumpster ratings)
Posted on 02/20/2005 3:09:00 AM PST by Liz
For the first time in its history, CNN's Headline News is tinkering with its all-news format.
The network will launch a new primetime lineup tomorrow the first time in the network's 20-plus years on the air that it's making a break from airing straight newscasts.
"We're doing it because it's a chance to use both of our networks in a complementary way," said Ken Jautz, executive vice president of CNN Newsgroup.
"In this day and age there is so much competition in news. By the time you get to prime time people know the headlines of the day."
The switch is one of the early changes under new CNN President Jonathan Klein, who took over the network late last year.
While Fox News surpassed CNN in the ratings in recent years and is the No. 1 cable news network, CNN's sister network Headline News has held its own. Last year, for example, Headline News averaged 213,000 viewers during daytime hours, compared with 201,000 for MSNBC and 207,000 for CNBC, according to Nielsen.
In primetime last year, Headline News' ratings were largely flat from the year before.
Beginning tomorrow evening, Headline News will begin airing "Showbiz Tonight" from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. a live, talk-oriented show on the entertainment business. In the next hour, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., the network will air the legal talk show "Nancy Grace," hosted by the CourtTV anchor of the same name.
Grace, who became a prosecutor after her fiancee was murdered, will continue to host her CourtTV show "Closing Arguments."
"There's a very high interest among viewers in legal news and entertainment," Jautz said.
"It's the first time we've had a major marketing campaign for Headline News," Jautz said.

"There's a very high interest among viewers in legal news and entertainment," Jautz said.They might as well bring the show during the day and make it into soap!!! That may keep their rating on par with "As the world turns..."
Rudi Bhaktiar nude news coming up next.
If you want to know what's happening after everyone else, watch Headline News. On FOX News, CNN, etc., when they have breaking news, they stop what they're doing and report it. On Headline News, they might get around to it in the next half-hour.
New format is clock that runs backwards. Right four times a day!
Heheh, don't know where they're going, or how to get there.
...in a time warp......
......more like Clothing Optional News......to be politically correct.
Headline News is going to get even worse now because they are trying for some reason to take ratings away from E!. This fact they simply leave out of the article. If anything, people are sick of the hollywood and courtroom drama crap. 2 HORRIBLE ideas if you ask me.
E! actually has ratings? Who woulda guessed.
Nothing but drivel....I cringe everytime I hafta surf past it.
Best thing they could do is dump it.
E! stands for Embarassing.
Good idea. Who'd even miss it?
....... the lowlifes that produce it need intense therapy.......
Yeah, that would do for starters : )
Why don't we have a show called "LIAR LIAR"
Ted Turner can ask questions about news of the day, and 3the 3 permanent panelists will be
1) Paul Begala
2) Robert Reich
3)James Carville
A " LIEOMETER" will judge the daily winner.
LOL.......what a lineup.....the two of them lie and the other swears to it.
Yeah, but how could you possibly load test it before using it with those three?
We can use this.
ROTFLOL........good one.
ROTF....those were the 3 biggest liars I could think of.....aside from Botoxman : )

Reich: "Oh ok, an instructor at Harvard....nitpicking here,

Carville: "Well, Bush is a gangster, and so's his pappy from way back, they all rich, they all Wall Street thugs, we talking high ticket thuggery, and goon squads! Goon squads all over the country...hell, all over the world, an...
Mr Begala, and you, sir.
Begala: " Well, time has inexorably shown that the only existence that defines reality exists in stoic acquittals
which can neither be proven, nor rendered spurious. Therefore, Bush is a liar!!"

A Macon County judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the governor's gambling task force and setting a hearing for later this month.
The order was entered at 12:45 PM in Macon County Circuit Court, just 15 minutes before VictoryLand reopened. Alabama's largest bingo emporium voluntarily closed its doors a month ago to avoid a task force raid.
The order issued today expires March 19th. It prohibits the task force from raiding any business in Macon County or any other county except Mobile County, where task force chief John Tyson is district attorney.
The order is based on a motion filed by Macon County District Attorney Paul Jones challenging the right of the governor and Tyson to usurp his authority as the local district attorney.
A hearing has been set for March 19th in Tuskegee.

Cowon's new O2 PMP follows on from the smashing Q5W and A3 of last year, but scraps hard disks in favour of flash memory and SD cards. It's one of the most exciting product releases of the year in the PMP category, so we were thrilled to get one of the first ever off the production line.
It comes in 16GB and 32GB flavours, with prices TBA in early November.
In many ways the O2 is the perfect size for a PMP: it's big enough to allow for a large 109mm (4.3-inch) touchscreen, yet small and light enough to fit in a trouser pocket. Its weight -- a paltry 206g -- is kept down by the lack of a spinning hard disk; flash memory is inherently lightweight.
This model differs from previous ones in that it's made entirely out of plastic. Gone is the expensive-feeling aluminium of the Q5W, which is a shame, but the resulting build-quality is still good. We would have appreciated a kickstand, mind.
The 480x272-pixel screen's good though, with excellent colour depth. But it's nowhere near as crisp as the Cowon A3's screen, or the new Archos 5's. Well-encoded video content is undeniably beautiful, but we have seen better from Cowon before.
We've also seen other things from Cowon before. Namely, superb audio performance and feature-packed products. We'll talk sound quality later, but the O2 does everything possible to squeeze in file format support, as per usual. It supports an unthinkably huge number of audio formats, including MP3, WMA, AC3, AAC, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, Apple Lossless, WMA Lossless (not advertised, but it works -- we checked), True Audio, Monkey's Audio, MusePack, WavPack and WAV.
Video support is equally impressive as well, with supported formats including DivX, Xvid, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 SP, H.264, WMV, MKV, OGM, DAT and MTV. And this list also included 720P high-definition Xvid and DivX in our tests, though not high-def H.264 or MKV, which, safe to say, is an almighty shame. Soft-subtitling for the hearing-impaired or anime-obsessed is supported in the .SRT format, and it worked very well when we tested it. Soft-subs inside the MKV container didn't work, however.
Like the Cowon A3, you can output all video content using a bundled AV cable, and you can record content directly into FLAC using an external microphone. However, our super-early pre-production unit came without these abilities, so we'll update this bit when our final shipping model arrives.
The O2 almost feels like a cute hybrid of the Q5W and A3, but without the style of the Q5W or the advanced video capabilities of the A3 (such as real-time video encoding and support for DVD VOB files). But there are two selling points which make it unique for us.
The first is the graphical user interface. The Q5W's was touch-controlled but clunky and badly executed; the A3's was attractive but a pain to control with the system's fiddly joystick. The O2 offers an almost iPhone-like GUI, with attractive icons and a fairly responsive touchscreen.

Diane Arbuss Family Values
By RICHARD B. WOODWARD
Published: October 5, 2003
IN a 1968 letter to an editor at a London magazine, Diane Arbus described with manic glee a woman she had just met in Westchester County whose portrait she was eager to take.
"She is about 35 with terribly blond hair and enormously eyelashed and booted and probably married to a dress manufacturer or restaurateur and I said I wanted to photograph her with husband and children so she suggested I wait till warm weather so I can do it around the pool! Last weekend wasn't warm weather, but the next day may be. They are a fascinating family. I think all families are creepy in a way."
It is a testament to Arbus's power as a photographer that we can imagine the print of this woman and her family without seeing it; a few strokes of the pen are enough for us to recognize her as an Arbus subject. By the late 60's the photographer herself could recognize one at a glance. She didn't need to meet the woman's husband to know that the whole family offered prime material for her often savage art.
The creepiness of family ties, so uncertain and yet so binding, was a theme throughout her career, and is the connecting tissue for a provocative show here at the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum. "Family Albums" (also the title of the catalog from Yale University Press) is based on a book Arbus whimsically proposed three years before her death in 1971 but never developed, namely that her photographs as a whole might be said to make up an enormous and unusual family album — in her words, "a Noah's ark" of humanity.
Two curators, Anthony W. Lee and John Pultz, have amassed more than 50 portraits she made on assignment, in this case primarily for Esquire magazine, and organized them in categories: Fathers, Mothers, Families, Partners and Children.
While not nearly as comprehensive as the Arbus retrospective that opens later this month at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, "Family Albums," which runs through Dec. 7, does include one offering that the larger show does not: the complete record — in contact sheets, proof prints and final prints — of a previously undocumented portrait commission.
For scholars of Arbus, stymied since her suicide by her estate's iron grip on her work, the 322 unknown images are a gold mine. Never before has it been possible to examine her photographic strategies in such detail. The show features lots of fresh material (like the letter quoted above), and what it lacks in size it makes up for in latitude, having been organized without the oversight of the Arbus children.
The portrait commission on display was purely a money-making venture. An actor and theater producer, Konrad Matthaei, wanted Arbus, like himself a rising star in select artistic circles, to photograph him, his wife, their three children and some relatives for what he called a record of a family being together. (It was his wife, an alumna of Mount Holyoke, who brought the pictures to the attention of the museum.)
According to Mr. Lee's catalog essay, the pictures were made at the Matthaeis' New York town house on Dec. 27 and 28, 1968. Each portrait session lasted four to five hours. From the contact sheets, it appears that Arbus concentrated first on Konrad Jr., 3, the only son and apparently the family darling. He is pictured by himself, with his father and other relatives, in a full 48 frames, an effort that fails to yield what Arbus was after. A proof print, apparently selected by her as the most promising of the lot, shows the boy beaming sweetly atop his hobby horse.
Arbus moves on. She tries impromptu shots of the family seated at the dining room table and of Mr. Matthaei and his brother singing at the piano, then switches to formal portraits where everyone is seated on a couch behind a glass coffee table. One of her common strategies was to show people in their bedrooms. But four images of Mr. and Mrs. Matthaei seated there don't seem to have pleased her. She focuses on the Christmas tree, a subject she had photographed with memorable results in a Long Island home in 1963. Again, no dice.
Stories abound of Arbus as a predator, swooping down on strangers and probing faces close-up for signs of weakness or despair. There is none of that behavior on display here. Mostly she keeps a polite middle distance from the Matthaeis. Although Mr. Lee argues that Arbus was a controlling presence, telling the children to hold poses for long periods in one room after the other, only in a couple of frames — one of the teenage daughters posed with leg bent against an open door — do the subjects look uncomfortably coached.
"I work from awkwardness," Arbus once said. The teenage Matthaei girls, visibly ill at ease in their no longer childish bodies and no doubt eager to change out of their holiday dresses and flee their parents, seem to hold Arbus's deepest sympathy. She must have felt a connection to their cosseted New York world, so similar to the one that she and her brother, the poet Howard Nemerov, had grown up in — and hated.

Hello everybody
I´m from Brazil, and I have a doubt related to Plugin Easy Post Types.
A friend is using custom post type coding manually, not using plugins.
So, she was trying to list categories out of the wordpress loop as we usualy list categories like <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
But, she just can do it, inside the wordpress loop.
Researching about that, she discovered something very important:
She creted a php file like app_functions.php and inside this file she coded all php code that is necessary to create a particular custom post type.
And on functions.php she coded:
if( is_admin()) require("app_functions.php");
She used this IF to avoid extra and unnecessary processing.
So, she just can see categories and tags related to her custom post types on admin interface, and when she try to list a custom categories (like this <?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?> ) from that custom post on template theme, that does not work, because is not is_admin
So, I think your plugin has the same issue, because I cant list categories out of the loop, because this should be a global variable and not local.
I think that this forum post can help you to understand the situation http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-doesnt-recognize-my-custom-taxonomy
On my localhost test, I´m using the codes below to retrieve the custom tags and custom categories, but this work just inside the loop:
<?php the_meta(); //retrieve custom fields?>

<?php echo get_the_term_list($post->ID, 'my_custom_tags', 'My Custom Tags: ', ', ', '' ); //retrieve the custom tags?>

<?php the_terms($post->ID, 'my_custom_categories', 'My custom Categories: ', ' | '); //retrieve the Categories?>

So, I don´t know what modifications (if is necessary) to do on your plugin to list categories and tags out of the wordpress loop.
Thanks in advance.

Area environmentalists took fun-filled steps towards living an eco-friendly lifestyle during the Gowanus Canal Conservancy's first annual "Gowanus Goes Green" festival.
Featuring musical entertainment and refreshments from area merchants, budding ecologists along Carroll Street took part in environmentally-friendly activities such as learning about green roofs and NYC's first green spa, and perusing through an assortment of natural bags, toys, and organic T-shirts.
While children took part in yoga classes on the historic Carroll Street Bridge, had their faces painted and created free arts and crafts projects with discarded materials, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection's skimmer vessel, Jamaica Bay, cruised the waters in an effort to remove debris and floatables from the surface of the canal.

This paper presents variable power and rate allocation (PRA) for a multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiple access code division multiplexing (OFDMA-CDM) system which exploits both orthogonality among users and symbol-level diversity. To predict the link performance, we analyze the postprocessing SNR as the transmit power (TP) varies when the minimum mean square error combiner (MMSEC) is employed. It is shown from analysis that the MMSEC SNR is nonlinear in TP, but is bounded by the harmonic and the arithmetic means of the subcarrier SNRs. From the observation, we propose two variable PRA methods using a simple channel quality indication and a required TP estimation method. Simulation results show that the proposed methods not only guarantee the target performance but also increase the throughput at the same or slightly increased feedback overhead compared with the fixed TP allocation case.
