Legendary Doors Guitarist Robby Krieger Receives Overdue Grammy Award NominationPosted by frantikmag on December 16, 2010 at 7:43 am | Last modified: May 27, 2013 7:45 am
There are few guitarists in rock history that have managed to scale the heights that Robby Krieger managed while a member of one of the all-time great groups, THE DOORS. Krieger continues to release original music that strikes a chord in music listeners worldwide, as evidenced by his critically acclaimed solo album, 2010′s Singularity. But the greatest proof is that Krieger was recently nominated for a Grammy Award, in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category, alongside the likes of GERALD ALBRIGHT, LARRY CARLTON & TAK MATSUMOTO, KENNY G, and KIRK WHALUM. In order for an album to be considered for this category, it must contain 51% or more playing time of instrumental tracks.
"I am super proud to be nominated," says Krieger, "Especially as hard as Arthur Barrow [the album's co-producer] and I worked on this album. We started working on the song 'Russian Caravan' as a tribute to MILES DAVIS, shortly after he passed away years ago. We never gave up on the project, even though it took a lot longer than we planned. Believe it or not, we actually said, 'Man this is good enough to get a Grammy!' And here we are, nominated. Thank you!". Also incredibly pleased with the nomination is the owner of Oglio Records, Carl Caprioglio, the label that released 'Singularity.' "Oglio Records has been in business since 1993. We have worked with many great artists, but I have to pinch myself every time I think of my good fortune to be working with the legendary Robby Krieger. I will certainly go down in history as one of the luckiest guys in the independent record label business". Robby is represented by Tom Vitorino Management.
Robby Krieger was one of The Doors' principle songwriters, penning the classics 'Light My Fire', 'Love Me Two Times', 'Love Her Madly', and 'Touch Me'. Singularity co-producer Arthur Barrow is also a multi-instrumentalist musician, best known for his stint as a bass player and band leader for FRANK ZAPPA in the late '70′s and early '80′s. Arthur appeared on The Doors An American Prayer album, and the two have worked together on nearly all of Krieger's solo work and performances.
Along with Barrow, Singularity features a number of Zappa alumni, including Tommy Mars, Bruce Fowler, Larry Klimas, and Vinnie Colaiuta (all of which are featured on the album's aforementioned standout track, 'Russian Caravan') as well as one of the last appearances from LITTLE FEAT's Richie Hayward. Singularity also features two additional long-time Krieger collaborators, Dale Alexander on 'Solar Wind' and Kevin "Brandino" Brandon on 'Event Horizon'. Additionally, Brandino has appeared on Krieger's Cinematix album for Oglio Records and played over two decades with the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 13, 2011, at 8pm ET/PT.

Cruel Hand Confirmed For Madball/Comeback Kid Tour In January 2011Posted by frantikmag on November 22, 2010 at 8:09 am | Last modified: May 27, 2013 8:10 am
Maine's CRUEL HAND are excited to announce that they are confirmed as support on the upcoming Madball/Comeback Kid tour in early 2011! Beginning January 11th, the bands will head south and then west through January 23rd – these shows will be some real bangers for sure. Currently out on the Lock & Key tour with a little less than a week's worth of shows left, Cruel Hand has canvassed the US twice over now, headlining and as support on the Bane/Trapped Under Ice tour last September. Additionally, Cruel Hand will head overseas in a few weeks for the Persistence Tour, sharing the stage with Sick Of It All, Blood for Blood, D.R.I. and many others. 2011 is sure to be just as packed for the band as 2010 was – more exciting tour plans to be announced soon.
Cruel Hand released their most recent album and defining release, Lock & Key, this past summer. Lock & Key has been hailed as "a gift from the gods" by Decoy Music and has cemented the band as "one of the hardest touring up-and-coming hardcore acts" (Blistering). Be sure to catch Cruel Hand on tour forever!

Stopping Unsolicited Telemarketer CallsPosted by frantikmag on July 17, 2010 at 2:15 am | Last modified: September 17, 2014 2:22 am
Daily telemarketer calls are a nuisance, and a annoying thing to have to deal with, but many people deal with these types of calls everyday, and sometimes all day long. The best thing to do first for these types of annoying calls, is to register with the Do Not Call Registry. People often list all phone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry that they want removed from telemarketing calling lists.
Many times, people that register numbers on the registry, are able to do so online, at a specific website, and by calling phone numbers that are provided. Many people also register cell phones on the telemarketer Do Not Call Registry, although telemarketers are suppose to be prohibited from calling mobile phones. Registering numbers that callers do not want on the call list, is permanent unless people decide to re-register , wanting the calls to begin again. if you want to know exactly who is calling you, you can check numerous websites that report such phone numbers like phonecallfrom.com and you can leave your own reports too.
If people move to another residence, or their phone is disconnected for some reason, most will need to re-register and place their number on the Do Not Call Registry again. There are many organizations that are still allowed to call people, unless they are contacted by the individual and request that their phone numbers be removed from their calling list. Most telemarketers are allowed up to 31 days to update their calling lists, so constant calls may still be received up to that time by telemarketing companies. Calls that are still being received after the 31 day period, can be reported as harassing calls, and a complaint can be filed on the callers.
Debt collection calls may still continue daily to people that owe certain debts, but the best thing to do is not answer unwanted calls, or calls that do not show a phone number listed on the call ID. Telemarketing harassment information is always available online for people wanting to know more about how to stop harassing calls.Categories: Uncategorized | Comments Off | Permalink
CD Review: Demander "Future Brite"Posted by frantikmag on May 26, 2010 at 7:46 am | Last modified: September 16, 2014 10:20 pm
When you find a new group that feeds your ears with nothing but musical goodness, it makes you smile. Well, this group from NYC did just that. They put a huge smile on my face. I think I just heard a new group that is sure to rock the scene to its dirty little dancing core. The group is Demander. A trio that seemingly have the know how to pump out indie pop gems like nobody's business. Track per track, Demander's Future Brite is an absolute winner! Seemingly influenced by the New York City landscape, Demander is definitely one of those groups on the scene that completely get it. Musically, it's something fresh and inviting, music to my ears.
Absolutely dig the direction of this group. It sounds like a mish mash of groups from the 80's to the 90's with a healthy splash of new generation indie pop punk that all convolutes into something totally their own. The overall sound of the Demander is addictive. They remind me of the time I found my original Oakley's from the 80's to sport now and it felt so damned good. That's what this CD felt like. So damned good. They also threw in pop punk sensibilities in the mixture to make a lavish texture of soundscapes that is truly something new. Beautiful and definitely vocally blessed, Karen Kanan Corrêa, is the heart of this group. Take note of that name, as she is one of the best vocalists I've heard in quite a long while. No she's not Mariah Carey nor Celine Dion but Karen's creative and aurally visceral vocal approach is absolutely superb! Sultry, sexy, dizzying, powerful and lovely, Karen is golden in an age of mediocrity. Demander's Future Bright will not surprise me at all if it ended up on 'Best Of' lists by end of year. It has all the trimmings and musical audacity to do so. There is also not one dull moment on this record. It's all talent and fun!
The record is virtually a digital indie electro rock escape to another planet where 'Cool' is the only thing to be. You hardly come across a record these days without any fillers but this one surely does not have one. As the title of the record suggest, the future is bright for Demander. I can clearly say that they're one of the breakout bands of 2010. Future Britehas made me a fan of Demander. I believe that once you listen to this record, you may just become a fan too. It's hard to ignore and it's hard to resist but once you give in, you'll absolutely fall in love, almost in an instant. I'm going to do my part; I'm going to spread the word about this wonderful new band I just found. I'm ready to sweat it out with Demander!Categories: Uncategorized | Comments (0) | Permalink

The success of an animated family film isn't just measured anymore by its box-office receipts.
There are, of course, the action figures and related merchandise. And one also must look at whether it has "legs" after it's left the big screen, in terms of DVD sales, sequels and spinoff projects and theme park attractions. Now there's one more forum -- the theater.
Two of DreamWorks' biggest properties, "Shrek" and "Madagascar," have been transformed into theatrical spectacles. Now, the studio is bringing another one of its giants to the live arena. "DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular," based on the studio's hit 2010 film, flies into HP Pavilion in San Jose for nine shows beginning Wednesday.
"Every property has its own DNA and its own life. You try to figure out if there an opportunity to extend it and how best to do it," says Eric Stevens, DreamWorks' head of Live Entertainment. "Some things belong in a theater, and some things belong in a theme park."
When it came to "Dragon," the answer was pretty obvious.
"When thinking about dragons, we went, 'Well, you know, if you are really going to be true to this -- where could you bring a dragon to life?' When you start thinking about making it life-size and real and 40-foot wingspans and flying, there aren't a lot of places you can do that except an arena."
It's the studio's first foray into the live-action arena world, a genre that is taking the touring entertainment business by storm. Productions range from musical theater productions to immersive concerts and have featured such titles as "Batman Live" and "Star Wars: In Concert," "Video Games Live" and "Walking With Dinosaurs."
"Dragon," by most accounts, is a real doozy, having wowed critics and fans alike in multiple cities since making its debut in Australia earlier this year.
DreamWorks partnered with Australia's Global Creatures, the company that hit gold with the "Walking With Dinosaurs" arena tour. It's easy to see how watching "Dinosaurs" could inspire a show like "Train Your Dragon."
"That's really when the fun began," Stevens says of the early days of the project, which started roughly four years ago. "We all sat back and said, 'Imagine if dragons could fly. What would that be like?' "
In a word? Massive.
Big critters
The show features 13 dragons, representing nine different "species," and each requires multiple people to operate it. These moving beasts are downright gigantic, weighing as much as 2.6 tons and featuring wingspans as wide as 46 feet.
And, oh, yes, they can fly -- at speeds up to 15 to 20 mph -- thanks to a state-of-the-art track system that borrows from technology used in car manufacturing plants, railroads and roller coasters.
Yet, the challenge didn't end there. We're not just talking about generic dragons, after all, but ones that starred in a hit movie. Get one little detail wrong, and heaven forbid, the creators would have to answer to thousands of passionate young fans.
In essence, they had to match both the look and the personality of each dragon -- especially for the lead dragon, Toothless, who was a well-developed character in the film. That required adding a level of rich detail to the creations.
"The eyes have emotion. The mouths move, in many directions," Stevens says. "They are really the most advanced puppets and animatronic creatures ever developed."
Faithful to flick
The production closely follows the storyline of the film, which, in turn, was based on a 2003 book of the same name by British author Cressida Cowell. The property also spawned an animated TV series, "Dragons: Riders of Berk," on the Cartoon Network as well as a video game for multiple platforms. A full-length theatrical sequel, "How to Train Your Dragon 2," is in the works and should be in theaters by summer 2014.
"The film was incredibly popular," Stevens says of "Dragon," which has earned more than $217 million in the U.S. "I think what connected with audiences at the end of the day was a great story. It's really, at its core, a boy and his dog story. It just happens to be with a dragon. There are great personal relationships, such as between the father and the son. There is a strong female character in it. It's about friendship. So I think it really resonated at a lot of different levels, as a film. The challenge (in making the arena show) was how do we bring that to life in a way that really pushes the boundaries of imagination?"
Beyond the dragons, the production features a full cast of the film's characters -- including the hero, Hiccup, played alternately by Riley Miner and Ramian Newton on tour. Miner sees this show as a great way to introduce young fans to the joy of live theater.
"No kid really likes to go to the opera or the ballet or Shakespeare," he says. "This is definitely an awesome family thing to do."
The show re-creates the film's setting -- the fictional island of Berk, a Viking outpost dealing with major dragon issues -- through the use of multiple movie screens, both set on the arena floor and behind the stage.
"It lets us transport the audience over mountains and oceans as the dragons fly," Stevens says. "You really are immersed in this incredible environment and experience -- and that can only be done in an arena. So, at HP Pavilion, what is so exciting is it's really like you are transported to another world. For two hours, every family kind of goes on this adventure together."

The best was the look on Brady's face after he took a bite. Like "Ughh this is nasty...and I'm doing my best to hide this look of disgust for the camera"
Big Vince on the other hand did not display the same reaction....

From ArachneWiki
In computer science, a module is a self-contained subunit of a program that interacts with other modules via a well-defined interface. Modules in C++ typically consist of a pair of code files, named such as foo.cc and foo.h. Arachne is no exception: its source code consists almost completely of modules defined in this way. Some modules are executable, meaning they can be run at a command line or in script modules. Modularity is the principal design feature of Arachne.
Each module name (e.g., Module) corresponds to a file of the form Module.cc in one of the directories of the Arachne code package. In the case of executable modules, the name also corresponds to the name of a compiled executable in ARACHNE_BIN_DIR, which can be run on the command line.

Despite a year of extreme drought and high temperatures, prospects remain generally positive for waterfowlers in many areas of Oklahoma.
"We have birds scattered all over right now," says Josh Richardson, Oklahoma migratory game bird biologist. "Oklahoma is a major wintering area for Canada geese, and we have had a lot of them since the Thanksgiving holiday."
Along with the geese are dabbling ducks such as pintails, wigeon, and mallards, the latter of which should increase in number as the forecast calls for cooler weather pushing into Sooner country this week. The cooler weather may also bring precipitation, which is desperately needed across much of Oklahoma, but especially in the west. Central and eastern counties are in better shape, with Fort Gibson, Wister, and Hudson lakes having higher water levels than reservoirs farther west.
But one doesn't have to be in eastern Oklahoma to find waterfowl. Hunters just need to find food and water to find good hunting.
"Because we have some water everywhere, a lot of hunters should get into birds," Richardson says.
He advises hunters to scout extensively to locate water and concentrations of waterfowl. With the hunting season re-opening this weekend, ducks and geese should be fairly susceptible to calling and decoys before wising up again in response to hunting pressure.
"Just don't get too comfortable in one spot," Richardson adds. "Hunt an area until birds aren't there and then start looking for other places."
One place that should be especially productive for waterfowlers is Kaw Lake in the north-central part of the state.
"We had a substantial millet planting program there in the spring that has done very well," Richardson explains. "It's going to be good this weekend despite pretty tough boating conditions." He recommends using an airboat or walking in to access these shallow feeding areas.
Find hunting and migration reports in your area on the Ducks Unlimited Migration Map.

Make-Ahead Pizza Crusts
Anyway, even though I haven't been blogging as frequently, I've still been busy in the kitchen. This week I made a huge batch of homemade kolaches to bring to the kids when we visit them this weekend.
I also made them pizza crusts. I've tried just giving them the dough in the past, but evidently that was a little challenging for them so I decided to par-bake the crusts for them this time.
Kellen wanted 100% whole wheat crusts and Wes and Heather wanted half white/half whole wheat so I made two different batches.
After baking them for about eight minutes on a parchment covered pizza stone, I let them cool completely, then wrapped them individually in plastic wrap.
Then I stacked them and wrapped them securely in foil before freezing them.
I'm going to remember this trick for when I have my next pizza party. It'll take away much of the stress by having the crusts already made and only having to top and finish the baking process during the party. Good idea, eh?

You may not be blogging as much, but when you do you sure pack a punch. I LOVE this idea. I'll need to go back and get the recipes, but I'm definitely going to be using your freezing style. Bravo!

Being addicted to reading is much better than being addicted to nicotine. Good for you!!! I am very proud of you. I know how hard it is.
The make ahead dough is something I will for sure make a note of around football season.

You need to treat yourself to a Kindle! LOVE mine - easier on the wrists! And the books are cheaper!
Your pizza crusts look like they were made by pros!!!!! Mine turn out all wonky all the time hehehehe. And those little stuffed bun thingies {which this Cajun lady just can't pronounce to save her life} are making me drool!!!!!!
- February 24, 2011 at 4:30 PM
- Frieda said...
This is a GREAT idea! Although, for my kids,(and hubby) I'd need to write baking instructions on it too...
Yes, I agree with Nanan, you should celebrate 100 days of no smoking with a Kindle! or a Nook...
- February 24, 2011 at 4:32 PM
how did you get them so perfectly shaped? I have been doing this, as I am obsessed with pizza. I make the crusts small enough to fit in a gallon size ziploc bag which I can then reuse (you know, that whole 'plastic never degrades' thing).
- February 24, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- All Our Fingers in the Pie said...
You are the quintessential Mom! I make thin crust pizza and just freeze them uncooked. But never thought to par-cook them. I might have to try that! I bet it might work for flatbreads for a party. Parcook the crust. I think you are on to something.
- February 24, 2011 at 6:45 PM

Love the par-baking idea...genius!

I was going to ask you how you were doing with your quit smoking efforts. You did not mention if you have conquered it, but cheers to you for continuing to forge ahead in your efforts.
I am also loving these"mom" gifts of love. I cannot think of anything nicer. Your pizza crusts and your kolaches (sp?) was made with a lot of love. Awesome.
- February 24, 2011 at 8:04 PM
MOM! (well, youre not my mom but i def wish you were!)
great idea! ill make good use of it! thanks for sharing!

What an absolutely super idea to par bake the pizza crusts...like your own Boboli but better! I'm going to copy! Thirty books - geez you put me to shame. I check out 4 at a time from the library and it takes me 6 weeks to read them. Go figure. I'm with Lea, you deserve a Kindle!

I read on a Kindle, so I probably have even less calorie burn.

I got a chuckle out of you reading the back of the toilet bowl cleaner...lol. Maybe because I've caught myself doing the same thing and know why. ;o) ha!
Love the premade crusts as gifts for your kids! Also love how the mom in you does what she can to please them with their different wants!
- February 26, 2011 at 5:14 AM
- Karen said...
I'm big on reading labels! Great idea for the crusts. Wish I was close enough to my daughter so I could just make them and run them down the road to her. I remember reading about the kolaches here before. Think I'll make them for our dinner tonite.

You are one AWESOME mom! So sweet of you! :) Any books you'd suggest that were your favs? I'm always looking for something new to read!
- February 28, 2011 at 12:13 PM
- Barbara @ Modern Comfort Food said...
I've been missing your posts and was beginning to wonder if you were OK. More than OK I see. Well done Mags on trying to kick the cigarette habit, which (from my experience) is one of the hardest addictions of all to leave behind.
Wish I'd caught your very useful recipe last week when it came out. We have loads of ripe tomatoes in our garden now and I've been making pizza, and fresh pizza dough, every second or third night for dinner.
- March 1, 2011 at 7:49 AM
- Amanda said...
Glad to know you are still around AND that kicking the cig habit is still in force :) I've been meaning to parbake my crusts too but haven't had the freezer space to keep them. Great idea!

this is great! you are such a nice mom!!

Knitter's Review
February 14, 2008
How many of our favorite gadgets are also the simplest? I'm thinking of the humble paper clip, the stretchy rubber band.
This week we add another gadget to the list. It's called the Pattern Tamer, and it was created by a working mother of three who was tired of losing her place in her knitting patterns. Instead of using sticky notes or clumsy clipboards, she turned to simple magnetic strips for help.

BERKELEY -- "The Classical Style: An Opera (of Sorts)" is an opera for real. Friday at the Ojai North Music Festival, it also proved to be an unexpectedly witty, illuminating and all-around delightful 70 minutes of entertainment. Too bad it's not running for a week or two; everybody who loves classical music should see it, as should everybody who thinks classical music is a bore.
Who knew? Jeremy Denk, the pianist, essayist and MacArthur "genius" award winner, is the amiable polymath who came up with the concept, which on its face seems beyond obscure. The opera is inspired by a musicological book -- "The Classical Style," by the late Charles Rosen, also a polymath, a snarky one, famous as pianist and barbed essayist. His tome, which won the National Book Award for nonfiction in 1972, is a biography (of sorts) of "the classical style" created by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
This new opera -- a love letter to the wonders of those composers and to the miracle of art itself -- has a libretto by Denk and a score by Steven Stucky, the Pulitzer Prize winner. With a clever hand, Denk has used excerpts from Rosen's book as the kernels of a fantasy, with the above three composers as leading characters. With equal elegance and humor, Stucky has built a score that is awash with allusions to (and quotations from) the charms of Haydn, the shadowy breezes of Mozart, the storms of Beethoven.
Premiered last week at Southern California's Ojai Music Festival, the opera is the centerpiece of Ojai North, which runs through Saturday, presented by Cal Performances at UC Berkeley's Hertz Hall, with Denk as music director. The East Bay festival features wall-to-wall programs, imaginatively conceived by Denk with an impressive list of guests. Still, what a shame that "The Classical Style" is receiving only two performances.
Directed by Mary Birnbaum, with Robert Spano conducting the chamber orchestra known as The Knights -- and with an all-around terrific cast -- this charmer of a one-act opera begins with a game of Scrabble. Around a table in heaven, the three composers compete: Beethoven hits the jackpot ("183 points!") with a triple word score; Mozart keeps spelling out expletives. They've just read a New York Times article declaring the death of classical music, when Haydn pulls a random book off a shelf: "The Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven" by one Charles Rosen.
Then begins the hunt, as the three geniuses descend to Earth, searching for Rosen at his Upper West Side Manhattan apartment and at a musicological symposium, hoping "the eminent pianist and thinker" (they've noticed the blurb on the book) can help them achieve renewed relevance. The plot also detours to a bar, where, just briefly, the music gets slippery with blue notes. This is where we meet the characters Tonic, Dominant and Subdominant. (Hilariously, Denk has personified the three fundamental chords of Western classical music.)
It's as if the Marx Brothers are teaching lessons on music theory and sonata-allegro form. There are plenty of in-jokes, but this shouldn't deter anyone from seeing the opera -- because anyone can hear what counts: the bliss and beauty of the music. One also hears the dark tensions that grow via Mozart and Beethoven -- and Wagner, whose Tristan Chord character walks in and explains himself, smelling of subversion and sex.
There's no room here to describe each of the eight singers, so let's just name them, alphabetically: bass-baritone Aubrey Allicock as Tonic ("Me! Me! Me!"); tenor Dominic Armstrong as Haydn ("Papa! Papa! Papa!"); mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway as Dominant; tenor Keith Jameson as Snibblesworth (a Nutty Professor-ish Ph.D. student in musicology from UC Berkeley); baritone Kim Josephson as Rosen (and as Tristan Chord); bass-baritone Ashraf Sewailam as Beethoven; mezzo-soprano Peabody Southwell as sultry Subdominant; soprano Jennifer Zetlan as coloratura Mozart.
Stucky's score alludes at times to passages some listeners will recognize, including the Scherzo from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and a Mozart number (from "The Abduction from the Seraglio") that catalogs the wonders of women. The latter gets spoofed, at least to my ears, emerging as a "Catalog Aria" for Snibblesworth about the nerdy wonders of musicological obsessions ("887 papers on tonal functions").
"The Classical Style" is gorgeous to hear, and filled with laughs. And the opera is deep. Because underneath it all, it's a meditation on the miracle of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. "The classical style was a synthesis of forces that lay all around but dormant," sings Josephson (as Rosen), quoting from the book. "They created a language out of chaos."
That language -- that "style" -- was laid to rest a long time ago, having given birth to another style, and then another. Yet the music of the three masters lives on: "You are loved. Loved to death!" Rosen sings to them, assuringly.
Proof is right here in this winning little opera.

text: Before we get too far down the rabbit hole with Hammercult's "Steelcrusher," let's take a minute to appreciate the art in front of us. Take a look at that album cover. If you click on it, it'll show full size. Have you ever seen something so masterful? That album cover, which like a certain rug tying the room together is made whole by the prominent middle finger in the middle of the image, is among the greatest iconography in heavy metal. No joke.

If there's a surefire way to put a damper on outdoor fun, sunburn is the way to do it! No one wants the tight, painful feeling of sunburn or the unsightly peeling that comes after, not to mention the resulting skin damage. Yet, year after year, summer after summer, vacation after vacation, lots of people, from all ethnic backgrounds, will still get varying degrees of sunburn. That's bad news for your skin—but with a bit of planning and precaution, you can enjoy time in the sun without looking like a boiled lobster!
Read More Below
Sunburn may seem like no big deal, but it's an actual radiation burn of your skin from the sun's UVB rays that penetrate the skin's surface. The sun's UVB light damages the DNA of your skin cells, causing them to mutate and literally to self-destruct. This triggers the release of inflammatory substances in skin, called cytokines, resulting in the redness, swelling, tightness, and pain we all know as sunburn.
We often hear from people who've gotten sunburned despite the fact that they applied sunscreen. This happens because lots of people don't know how to apply sunscreen and because wearing sunscreen isn't enough; you can't just put on sunscreen and then bask in the sun or walk around without shade all day long.
Many factors contribute to the risk of sunburn, including geographic location (it's much easier to get a sunburn in Australia or Arizona than in northern Canada or Russia), skin color, the kind of sunscreen you use, how much you apply, how often you apply and reapply, the time of day, and even certain medications you may be taking.
The more you know about the risk factors that contribute to sunburn and how to treat sunburned skin, the better you'll be able avoid the burn and keep your family sun-safe, too.
Sunburn can happen to anyone, regardless of ethnicity or skin color. No matter how much pigmentation your skin has, you must apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater (and greater is better) liberally on a daily basis to avoid sun damage, even when the sun isn't shining. (UV rays can cause sunburn even on cloudy days—sun damage is about daylight, not just when the sun is visible).
According to the Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes chart that follows, those with lighter skin tones are more susceptible to what we commonly describe as sunburn, but those with darker skin tones aren't off the hook: In some cases, darker skin tones can burn, or at least feel the effects of too much time in the sun, even without seeing redness or peeling. And persons of any skin color can suffer the aging effects of sun damage, including skin cancer. Knowing your Fitzpatrick type is a good way to determine your risk of sunburn and to plan smart sun behavior.
Fitzpatrick Skin Phototypes:
Based on the chart above, those with Fitzpatrick Types I–III are the most susceptible to sunburn and should take the most precautions. Those with Fitzpatrick Type IV skin should be careful, too, while Types V and VI have enough melanin (skin pigment) to make their skin less susceptible to a painful, red burn—but even darker skin still needs (and will benefit from) sun protection! Regardless of your skin color, premature aging of the skin from sun damage will happen if you don't provide the proper protection.
To avoid sunburn, ask yourself these questions before heading outdoors:
Knowing the answers to these questions, and implementing them, is the secret to enjoying the sun without harming your skin. Here are the answers to those questions.
Expired Sunscreen: Sunscreens don't last forever! Most reputable brands have an expiration date on the label, but a good rule of thumb is to toss any sunscreen that is over a year old. This is especially important if the sunscreen has been opened and exposed to heat or light, which reduces its effectiveness. Yes, that means that keeping sunscreen in a hot car all summer is a bad idea.
Tips for Applying Sunscreen: Many people wonder how much sunscreen to apply. "Liberal application" is stressed, but how much sunscreen equates to liberal? If we're just talking face and neck, liberal application is a nickel- to quarter-size amount for each area. This amounts to approximately ¼ teaspoon for the face and the same amount for the neck, which is the general recommendation of physicians.
It's important to apply sunscreen liberally on any areas not protected by clothing. For those days when you're exposing a lot of skin to the sun (think bathing suit and no cover-up), you should apply at least 1 ounce (a shot glass full) of sunscreen from head to toe. Common areas people miss when applying sunscreen are the tops of the ears, back of the hands, and tops of the feet. Tip: Avoid burying your feet in the sand because the abrasive nature of the sand literally scrubs the sunscreen off your feet.
Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours is a good guideline for long days outdoors, because sunscreen that has rubbed or washed off cannot protect you! Using a water-resistant sunscreen can help keep you protected for longer if you're sweating or swimming, but you still must reapply, especially if you use a towel to dry off.
If you sweat profusely, wash your hands, swim, or get wet, you need to reapply your water-resistant sunscreen within 40 minutes, regardless of the SPF number on the product. If it's labeled "very water resistant," you get about 80 minutes of protection while perspiring or swimming.
Sun-Sensitizing Drugs and Skin-Care Ingredients: Sun sensitivity (known as photosensitivity) means that the skin is sensitive to sun exposure, and this can be caused by medications and some skin-care products, particularlyc those that ontain phototoxic plant extracts. Photosensitivity means you are more likely to get a burn, so it's extra important to be vigilant with sunscreen. To protect yourself, it's important to check your medications and skin-care products for warnings.
Here are some of the skin-care ingredients that can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight:
You can reduce the risk of a sensitized reaction dramatically by protecting your skin with clothing, sunglasses, a hat, and, of course, a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater (and greater is better).
The list of over-the-counter and prescription medications that can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight is extensive. It's always best to check your medication's prescribing information and/or to consult with your physician or pharmacist if you're unsure. Common medications that can make the skin more sun-sensitive include:
Depending on how sensitive a medication makes your skin to the sun, it may be necessary to avoid exposure entirely. This is something to discuss with your prescribing physician.
Staying in the shade is always helpful, but when out and about, wear sun-protective clothing as an extra measure of defense. We like the Coolibar and Sun Precautions brands; they are Paula's favorites and tend to provide more attractive options that don't look like Hazmat suits!
One sunburn a year might not seem very serious, but the research is clear: Repeated unprotected sun exposure, getting sunburned, or repeatedly getting tan not only causes premature signs of aging, but also causes DNA damage that triggers skin cells to mutate. Over time, and in the absence of sun protection and sun-smart behavior, these mutations can turn into skin cancers.
Repeated sun exposure and sunburn have long-term aesthetic effects, too, ranging from brown spots, rough skin and/or uneven skin tone, thin, crepe-like skin, white spots, and sagging. None of that is a fair tradeoff for going without sunscreen and enduring sunburn.
With the right sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, and following our other tips, you can avoid the misery of sunburn—and significantly reduce your lifetime risk of getting one of sunburn's most unwelcome side effects, skin cancer. Most important, with a bit of planning and preparation, you can have fun in the sun and keep your skin looking healthy for years to come!

Shuttle S1155 Intel H67
Reviewed by Rob. Review Posted 03/07/2012
Ordered together with an i3 2100 for desktop usage.
Really good quality case and internal layout, easy to fit the CPU, 16GB RAM, drives and VGA. I chose a passively cooled Asus GeForce 210 to keep noise to a minimum but there's enough room to fit one of my GTX 560's in there.
I wanted to go with 2xKingston 128GB SSD in RAID0 but the BIOS had no option to configure this without flashing the BIOS to a newer version and there is no option within BIOS to flash so it meant installing Windows 7 on one drive and flashing BIOS from Windows, then setting up the RAID array and re-installing Windows on this. Quite a faff!
It is more than capable of desktop tasks but the CPU fan noise can become intrusive. I unplugged this and only noticed a few extra C using Core Temp. Even after an hour of running Prime, the passively cooled chip was within limits. For longevity I replaced the stock fan with a Gelid 92mm and set the fan to run at minimum. Barely a whisper...

We had a great question from a reader yesterday:
Is there a todo/nice-to-have list anywhere for MySQL documentation? Or perhaps a list of Devs who require documentation support? Or is all documentation a function of the core Documentation team?
All documentation is handled by a team of five dedicated technical writers (of which I am one). Five sounds like a lot, but with 7000 pages of documentation across various versions of the manual (since we have separate manuals for the 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 trees, not to mention the various other tools we also document) it's a lot of work :)
We have a list of work to be completed in various areas which is constantly being updated as new features are added to MySQL, the GUI tools and elsewhere, and are constantly in contact with the devs on ways to improve and extend the documentation. Individually each member of the Docs team is responsible for a specific part of the manual, and some projects are small (like minor changes to tables or layout) and some are larger (like my recent work to rewrite the Connectors chapter, which has so far taken a couple of months).
We also have the bugs system which contains the user driven bugs and requests for features and improvements, see below for more info.
For an idea of what goes on in the Docs team and what is involved in writing documentation at MySQL, you might want to check my FSM blog (also available through Planet MySQL) where I regularly post on the latest things happening in the Docs team and what goes on behind the scenes.
Where would one go to 'volunteer' to help with documentation?
We don't have a direct method to support this, in the same way that we don't have a direct way for people to provide patches into the MySQL code, only through contributions that are verified for inclusion. For the Docs this is to ensure that the documentation is correct, valid for the appropriate version of the software (or indeed all versions of the software), and is obviously correct in terms of interactions with other elements. On that last point, sometimes a change in one place in the documentation has a domino effect on others and it is not a simple case of changing one section of the documentation, but many.
We in the Docs team generally have the benefit of more exclusive access to the Devs which makes parts of this process sometimes easier, but not always :)
As a general rule:
If you have a specific bug or feature request then the place to suggest it is in the Bugs system at http://bugs.mysql.com. There are appropriate categories for Server, connector and other docs areas. This is the best place to mention anything that particularly bugs (no pun intended) you and that needs to be addressed. You'll generally get an initial response within a few days, and most problems are completed within a couple of weeks. This is also, obviously, a good place to find out whether the issue you have is already waiting to be addressed. You can include suggested text or content in the report if you wish, although for the reasons given above I can't guarantee that we'll use it verbatim.
If you want provide additional examples, help or tips then there are two avenues available. One is the comments system on the appropriate manual page. The other is to use the MySQL Forge to provide the information. This is generally the best place for material that goes beyond the scope of reference material and into the realm of examples and implementation details
Of course, you can always download the DocBook documentation that we create through the Subversion repository of that documentation through the Resources page. There's even a handy README in there to tell you what's what - I'll be producing a post on how to use this, the tools required and how to build your own docs in a forthcoming post.
How can I translate a module of MySQL 5 to Portuguese(Brazil)
Hi there. I`m a young boy. I`m graduating informatic and wanted contribute of some way with the translation of the manual of MySQL to portuguese Brasil.
I don`t know how I can to make use for do it. Then I`m here asking you how.
My e-mail is [email protected]
Thank you for helping me.
Portuguese translation
Hi Marcos,
we have a Portuguese translation of the MySQL Reference Manual on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/pt/index.html, but it's quite old. It could need an update, but don't even think of trying this: The Manual has 2000 pages by now, which takes a full-time translator about half a year.
But what about translating the MySQL (GUI) Tools? Particularly MySQL Query Browser is very popular among developers, and it's fairly easy to localise. You may translate the user interface (so that the program "speaks" Portuguese), or the manual, or both.
Let me know if you'd like to try this! Send a mail to [email protected] Thanks!

Remember the old public service announcement that said, "It's 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?"
It's a question that parents of teens must ask themselves at one time or another. The answer, "They're safe," can come in part because of the SafeRides program, which offers local kids a ride home on weekend nights if they need one.
SafeRides lost its home base when The Venue: A Place for Teens closed this past June, but the Los Gatos United Methodist Church at 111 Church St. has stepped in to fill the void.
The program is managed by CASA (Community Against Substance Abuse), which is inviting teens and parents to participate in an Oct. 19 training session for prospective volunteers. The training takes place from 9 to 10 p.m. at the church's Cafe Hope and will include a demonstration of a mock phone call from a teen calling in for a ride home.
"Each ride often takes several phone calls," Safe-Rides executive director Karla Albright said. "Sometimes the kids hang up or they don't know the address where they need to be picked up and have to call back. So there can be quite a bit of calling back and forth."
The number of teens needing a ride also comes into play. "It's important because some volunteers have small cars. Most have five seaters, but two seats are filled by the driver and navigator," Albright said.
Albright explained that when a call comes into the dispatch center at the Cafe Hope, a driver and navigator are assigned to the pickup, with the navigator responsible for both directions and safety check-ins.
"When they pick up a student they call in and say, 'We're here.' That's part of our checks and balances," Albright said. "Then they call back after the student has been dropped off."
The calls also help with logistics. "When we know where they are, we may send them directly to another location rather than having them come back to home base," Albright said.
SafeRides operates on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. during the school year. Rides are limited to the Los Gatos, Saratoga and Los Gatos Mountain areas. Last year, 636 students were driven home safely, and so far this year 64 students have taken advantage of the program.
While it is true that Safe-Rides is aimed at keeping teens who have been drinking off the road, Albright says that isn't always the case.
"We had a girl who was on a date call in one night and say she was scared and needed a ride home," Albright said. "Other kids don't want to call home because they don't want the hassle of involving their parents."
A retired Moffett Field police officer and a paramedic will be at the training session to teach volunteers about alcohol poisoning symptoms.
There are currently 35 SafeRides volunteers on the roster, but because the volunteers simply drop in to work when they feel like it, Albright wants more people available. "At a bare minimum you need three people per night," she said, "but six to eight is a more comfortable number."
Drivers are the only Safe-Rides volunteers who need to have an unrestricted license. They must also provide the vehicle and proof of insurance. There are no restrictions for navigators or dispatchers.
Since the program's launch in 2004, Albright says, there haven't been any teen fatalities in Los Gatos associated with impaired driving. "Prior to 2004, at least one drinking and driving teen death was occurring in our community every three to four years."
Incidentally, this week is National Teen Driver Safety Week.
The SafeRides teen hotline number at Cafe Hope is 888.550.7433. Contact Karla Albright via email at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

GrowlCode is a plugin for Xcode that posts Growl notifications when time-consuming operations are complete. It tells you when your builds (etc) have finished, and whether they succeeded or failed. Beats the bouncing dock icon!
Required OS: not specified
Tags: xcode , growl , notification , programming , development
4 Opinions
No configuration is needed -- my guess is that you were using Xcode 2.4.1, but a version of GrowlCode that only supported 2.4. Try the updated version 0.82.
Looks great but it seems to have absolutely no effect on my machine. Anything needs to be configured? I just installed growl 0.7.6
Oh, you know what I mean :-)
The description I see currently refers to 'GrowlCamino' -- perhaps 'GrowlCode' is more appropriate?

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no-one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
I had a dream before we got engaged about a blue thread of 3 separate strands forming into one thread, with diamonds on it, and stopped with a jolt the following day when I remembered these verses.

When Kyle Tucker's Wheaton terrier got her leg caught in a coyote trap last September, her injuries were extensive. Veterinarian Denisa Court at Farmer's Korner worked quickly, managing to save one hind leg while being forced to amputate the other.Though she was relieved to have her pet out of danger, Tucker was less than excited to receive the bill. The terrier, called Costly Tucker, was living up to her name. That's where LAPS stepped in.The League for Animals & People of the Summit is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to serving pets and pet owners within Summit County. LAPS has many services, including the one that helped Tucker - a low-income medical assistance fund for companion animals."It was excruciating to see her in that kind of pain. She's a very happy, kind dog. To see her have that to deal with was difficult," Tucker said. "It's nice when you have organizations like LAPS and you feel like other people get this, they understand what we're going through."
LAPS got its start in 1990 thanks to Nancy Ring, who at that time was the director of the animal shelter. Its original goal was to offset the spay/neuter costs of the shelter animals, reducing the need to euthanize healthy animals. LAPS annually donates around $6,000 to the Summit County Animal Shelter for this purpose. Shelter director Leslie Hall, who has been been with the shelter since 1988, said that LAPS has had a hand in the decrease of the euthanasia rate, plummeting from 13 percent to 2 percent. Animals are only euthanized now if they have untreatable health or behavioral problems, Hall said."The donation money LAPS gives us is a big help, because it enables us to extend our budget for other expenses," she said, including medical treatment for the animals. "I think we're well below the average euthanasia rate of most shelters."Spaying and neutering remains a primary focus of the LAPS organization. In addition to providing funds to the animal shelter, it has expanded its reach and now offers vouchers to any Summit County pet owner for a spay/neuter at local vet clinics. While the amount varies year to year, depending on funds, it's currently at a high of $75 off. "In general, Summit County tends to have a very pet-loving community and a very educated community, so they tend to be very responsible about spaying and neutering their animals," said LAPS boardmember Suzie Ver Schure. "I think people understand that they don't want to add to the pet overpopulation."
LAPS is funded by grants, donations from local businesses and individuals, memberships and fundraising events. Staffed completely by volunteers, 100 percent of its budget goes toward its various projects, including the spay/neuter vouchers, the medical assistance fund and the Chappy and Cheyenne funds.The Cheyenne Fund is dedicated to pets with life-shortening illnesses, such as cancer, whose owners face astronomical veterinarian bills. The Chappy Fund, named after a dog that had been mutilated with a machete, goes to help abused animals. When the public heard Chappy's story, his owner was inundated with donations, which eventually exceeded his needs, prompting him to donate the rest to start the fund.Four major fundraisers benefit LAPS every year - the DogTerra event in March, Let's Go Boating at the Dillon Marina in June, the K94K in Frisco and pet photos with Santa and the Grinch, also in Frisco. This year will see a new event called Howlaween, which will take place in Silverthorne in October and benefit three other local animal nonprofits as well - Swan Center Outreach, Animal Rescue of the Rockies and Far View Horse Rescue.
Sally Beerup has been the LAPS board president for 12 years and involved as a volunteer before that. An animal lover, she volunteers with other animal-based organizations as well as LAPS and loves it. She's particularly passionate about using LAPS to create more dog parks in Summit County. She envisions an open space with dog-friendly amenities, such as a water source, shade and designated fenced off areas for smaller and older dogs."So many people don't have backyards to be able to let their animals out, so to have a place to go ... to let them run loose like they should be able to do, that would be wonderful," she said. The rest of the board members share Beerup's enthusiasm for the LAPS cause. "I adore any four-legged animal of any kind and that's pretty much what motivates me," Ver Schure said. "Everybody on the board and certainly all the volunteers, everybody obviously believes in the cause."While helping the animals is a primary focus, LAPS also seeks to assist the people attached to them. "It's an animal charity, but at the same time it's very much a people charity, because we are helping the families or the owners of these pets, and it can be so meaningful to them," said boardmember Susan O'BrienTucker, whose dog was helped by the LAPS fund, agrees."We're very fortunate in Summit County to have them," she said. "They have a great focus on pets and pet owners."
