Sexual violence is not simply an individual's issue, but a human rights issue. Almost 25% of women experience sexual violence by an intimate partner at some point in her life and as many as one-third of girls are forced into their first sexual experience (WHO World Report on Violence and Health, 2002).
According to the World Health Organization, sexual violence encompasses the following:
- Rape within marriage, in dating relationships, and by strangers
- Systematic rape during armed conflict
- Unwanted sexual advances or sexual harassment, including demanding sex in return for favors
- Forced marriage or cohabitation, including the marriage of children
- Forced abortion
- Denial of the right to use contraception or to adopt other measures to protect against sexually transmitted diseases
- Violent acts against the sexual integrity of women, including female genital mutilation and obligatory inspections for virginity
- Forced prostitution and trafficking of people for the purpose of sexual exploitation

"Jeremy Kittel has already established himself as a world class fiddler." – SingOut!
"Jeremy is just too damn young to play as well as he does." – Fiddler Magazine
"We'd call him a rising star, but he's clearly already risen." – Detroit Free Press
Jeremy Kittel is at the forefront of a new breed of fiddlers and violinists who easily navigate between a multitude of musical styles and traditions. Fluidly mastering this rich musical heritage, he also breaks exciting new ground while helping to redefine the role of his instrument.
Currently touring internationally with his name-sake group, the Jeremy Kittel Band, he leads audiences into exciting new-acoustic music territory. He also maintains an active schedule of collaborations with some of today's most innovative and influential artists, from genres diverse as folk, jazz, classical, and pop music. Recently completing a five-year position as a full-time member of the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet, he has also toured and recorded with such musical giants as Mark O'Connor, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, Paquito D'Rivera, the Assad Brothers, Stefon Harris, My Morning Jacket, Jars of Clay, Abigail Washburn, and Ben Sollee. He has appeared on the NPR radio show A Prairie Home Companion, has been a guest performer with multiple symphony orchestras, and has performed at venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Bonnaroo, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
His most recent solo recording, Chasing Sparks (Compass Records), clearly establishes Jeremy as a formidable composer and arranger as well as a violinist of the highest technical and musical sensibilities. This comes as no surprise given that his three previously released CDs span the musical spectrum from jazz to celtic, with a strong dose of originality and technical mastery.
One of the leading improvising violinists of his generation, Jeremy has a master's degree in jazz violin from the Manhattan School of Music, and he is the recipient of the 2010 Emerging Artist Award from his alma mater, the University of Michigan. He is also a National US Scottish Fiddle champion as well as a multiple winner of Detroit Music Awards and ASTA Alternative Style awards.
As a lover of song, and as a singer himself, Kittel enjoys collaborating with singers and lyricists from any genre. Most recently, he has arranged and recorded orchestral-style strings for several major-label releases: Abigail Washburn's "City of Refuge," My Morning Jacket's "Circuital," and an upcoming release by the Platinum-selling, Grammy-winning band Jars of Clay.
Kittel currently resides in beautiful Brooklyn, NY. When he's not on tour, he often enjoys Monkey Conditioning and Ecstatic Dance.

Garb aside, ALS fundraiser game a worthy cause
Never in a million years did I think I would put on a Red Sox uniform. My good friend Steve Buckley, though, had other plans.
Buck is a columnist for the Boston Herald and is the longtime organizer of the Oldtime Baseball Game, which has been played at St. Peter's Field on Sherman Street in North Cambridge, Mass., every August since 1994. The game is simply a celebration of baseball, for which players don uniforms from the Oldtime Game's vast collection of flannels that represent nearly every era of baseball history -- from the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers to the Kansas City Monarchs and Cienfuegos Elephantes. There is even a uniform from the fictional New York Knights, for whom Robert Redford's iconic character Roy Hobbs played in the movie "The Natural."
The uniforms all have one thing in common: they're huge. And I am not.
So when I arrived in Boston, Buck gestured to the piles of uniforms that had taken over his living room and said, "You're welcome to try on whatever you want, but I'm pretty sure the only uniform that's going to fit you is that one."
He pointed to a uniform he had set aside: a home Red Sox uniform that was, in fact, considerably smaller than all of the others: pants and belt worn by Eddie Pellagrini, a Sox infielder from the 1950s who went on to coach at Boston College, who was 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds. A jersey emblazoned with Johnny Pesky's No. 6. Pesky was also fit for someone 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds, but the jersey had also happened to have shrunk a bit in the wash.
Buck says he was being practical, but I'm sure this was all part of his master plan to get Yogi Berra's granddaughter (that's me) and the first female to ever play in the Oldtime Baseball Game into a Sox uniform in front of a couple thousand people.
But still, the Red Sox? My first thought was, "If I wear this thing, do I automatically get stoned when I drive back over the New York border? May God and Grampa Yogi forgive me." So I tried on the uniform. The pants fit like too-big pajamas and I could put them on without unbuttoning them, but they would do. I sent a picture to my brother in Jersey to show Grampa. He loved Pesky, so his only response was, "Oh, old Needle Nose. He was a good guy." Absolution? Not necessarily. But close enough.
The fact that this year's Oldtime Game was a dual fundraiser for the ALS Therapy Development Institute and the Pete Frates #3 Fund made that Sox uniform a lot easier to wear. Frates, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2012 at the age of 27, is the former captain of the Boston College baseball team, and if you haven't heard of him over the last month, you've likely been living under a rock. It was Frates and his pals who started the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money and awareness for ALS, and as of Monday afternoon pregame, the whole campaign had raised a staggering $80 Million for ALS research.
Frates, who can no longer speak and is confined to a wheelchair, was at the game, along with his father, John; mother, Nancy; and wife, Julie, who is expecting their first child in just about two weeks. While the Game's rosters are typically filled out by former college and pro players from the Boston area, this year's game was meant to serve as a reunion of sorts for Frates and his baseball pals. Frates' younger brother Andrew played in the game, along with dozens of Frates' teammates from St. John's Prep in Danvers, Mass., B.C. and other teams he played for in the Boston area. Frates was in the dugout with the home team all night, having a blast as part of the team, and his high school teammate Tommy Haugh wore a road Lou Gehrig uniform in the game.
"One more time, Pete gets to play with all his buddies from all walks of life, and the fact three Major Leaguers are going to be out here representing the team is great," said Pete's father John Frates.
The big leaguers were former Red Sox infielder Lou Merloni, former Padres infielder Matt Antonelli and former Red Sox pitcher Mike Timlin. Timlin flew in from Colorado to pitch the first two innings of the game because the ALS cause is near and dear -- his mother, Sharon, passed away from the disease in 2002.
While I did play varsity softball at the University of North Carolina, I hadn't played baseball in years. I harbor no delusions about my abilities on a ballfield, so I told Buck and my team player/manager Danny Findley from Bowdoin College that I'd make my official entrance into the Oldtime Games as a pinch-runner. I got my chance when Merloni singled in the bottom of the fifth, with our team down, 4-0. Thankfully, it was an easy trip around the bases: I moved to second on a ground ball, then to third on another, and scored our first run of the game on a single to left-center. The fact that Frates was at the end of the high-five line back in the dugout made the moment extra special.
Also special was the dozen or so young girls who approached me after the game to sign their programs; they'd all grown up in Cambridge watching the Oldtime Game and were so excited to see a girl on the field.
Our team ended up losing, 8-5. But no matter. On a night like that, everybody wins.

PAX Australia gets detailed this week, GameArena is in trouble, while, in spite of an R18+ rating, not one but two games feel the ban hammer.
Here's a roundup of the biggest news this week on MCVuk.com's sister site MCV Pacific:
- Saint's Row IV was decreed too sexually violent and too drug-use incentivising to be fit for Australian audiences this week. We take a closer look at the ruling and what it means.
- State of Decay befell the ban hammer just hours after Saint's Row IV, making it the second game to be Refused Classification after the R18+ rating has been implemented.
- A timely one day before the twin bannings above, Josh Cavaleri from the Interactive Games and Entertainment Association wrote an op ed piece for ABC Tech bemoaning the broken state of the classification system in spite of the newly formed R18+ rating.
- It looks like longstanding Australian gaming web site GameArena, housed under Telstra BigPond, might not be long for this world, with freelancers leaving, video content being shut down and more bad signs plaguing the site.
- PAX Australia has been largely detailed now, with Microsoft set to show XBox One on stage, Gearbox to have a dedicated Borderlands 2 panel, Ubisoft and Nintendo taking large booths, Riot Games hosting a huge League of Legends tournament and Nintendo hosting a Pokemon tourney of its own.
MCV Pacific is a new digital venture from Intent Media, the UK publishing company behind the world's leading video game b2b brand, MCV. Make sure you sign up to the MCV Pacific Newsletter.

BWW Reviews: National Yiddish Theatre Charmingly Chronicles the Jewish Immigrant Experience in THE GOLDEN LAND
Review by Stephen Hanks
Have you ever wondered what might have happened to Tevya and Golde and their whole mishpucha had there been a sequel to Fiddler on the Roof?
Well, the National Yiddish Theatre-Folksbiene's production of The Golden Land may be the most unique way to find out how immigrant Russian Jews faired on New York's Lower East Side after fleeing the Czars at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th centuries. The English-language musical punctuated by a mostly Yiddish score is reopening Thursday, December 20 (and will run through January 6) following an initial five-week run that ended on December 2. After its first preview at the end October, Hurricane Sandy had forced the producers to cancel the next nine performances (at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, 55 Lexington Avenue at 25th Street).
The re-opening gives audiences another chance to see a delightful, if flawed, show which is essentially a fictionalized and theatrical version of a PBS documentary on the Jewish immigrant experience in New York (from the turn of the 20th century to the birth of the State of Israel), and built around a score that might be called the "Yiddish Theatre's Greatest Hits." Of the 40-plus musical numbers either hinted at (there are some scenes that include just a few bars of three or four songs) or sung whole in the two-hour production, the majority are Yiddish-language songs, with a few offering English lyrics. Sprinkled throughout this chronological history lesson are songs about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and The Great Depression, a silent movie clip to represent the Jews who became Hollywood film producers, and a recreation of a Yiddish-language radio show, complete with vintage commercial bits.
In staging The Golden Land this year, co-creators Zalmen Mlotek (also the show's Musical Director/Pianist/Conductor and Folksbiene's Artistic Director) and Moishe Rosenfeld are celebrating the 30th anniversary of when the show was first commissioned and performed. There have been many productions through the years, the most recent one a fully Yiddish version produced in Montreal and directed by Bryna Wasserman, who also directs the newest incarnation of the show.
Thanks to a game and energetic group of six actor/singers (photo above, clockwise from left, Andrew Keltz, Sandy Rosenberg, Cooper Grodin, Stacey Harris, Bob Ader, and Daniella Rabbani) who navigate their way through many scene and costume changes, Wasserman (also Folksbiene's Executive Director) is able to tell the story at a borderline breakneck pace without the show seeming too frantic to follow. Oy vey, it's not easy to cover almost 50 years of history in two hours, but Wasserman somehow manages to make the staging work. The downside is that when you're conveying the story of one particular family's experiences over almost half a century-and doing it through more than 40 songs-it's difficult to develop the individual characters enough for the audience to feel invested in them, no matter how charming the cast may be. Hence, The Golden Land comes across as more of a revue or a mini-opera than a traditional book musical.
The seven-piece band led by Mlotek makes one sigh mechaya (with joy), and the klezmer-infused delivery of beautiful Yiddish songs reminds once again why it would be a shame if this wonderful language became extinct. There were song highlights for each member of the cast, including Sandy Rosenberg and Andrew Keltz on the Act I ballad "A Brivele Der Mamen (A Letter to Mother)," the diminutive and adorable Daniella Rabbani on "Oy, I Like Him," the handsome Cooper Grodin on a song about a good union man called "Motl The Operator," the lovely Stacy Harris on the World War II era song, "Papirosn (Buy Cigarettes)," and veteran actor Bob Ader getting into the act in Act II with a heartfelt "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?"
If you can spare the time and 55 bucks, you should definitely experience this charming musical history lesson about how Tevye and Golde might have faired in America's greatest city. The Golden Land is being performed at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, 55 Lexington Avenue at 25th Street. For tickets, which are $55, call 866/811-4111, or visit www.nationalyiddishtheatre.org, where you can also see the schedule of performances from December 20 to January 6, 2013.

I'm back in New York after I performed at two fun European summer festivals. Defqon.1 in a giant event (40,000 people) on the beach about an hour outside of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. It was a daytime festival and it was hot & humid as expected. Since the early 90's I've played in Holland often so each one of these large events it's a bit of a reunion. I had time to speak to french DJ Manu le Malin, UK producer Surgeon (Anthony Child) and Dutch hardcore producer Gizmo. Even without a soundcheck the show went off without a glitch. My equipment, especially my cases and bags did get throuoully sandy though. The show went from 3-4 in the afternoon so by the time I got back to the hotel it was time for a quick bite and then off to Spain.
The Spanish gig at the Montagood Festival was also quite large. The stage was built high above the audience which I don't actually like. I really need to get close to people and make some eye contact. My set time was 5-6 in the morning so keep in mind I basically played in Amsterdam and 12 hours later without a real pit stop I'm setting up near Barcelona. Everything would have been perfect with the exception that it started to rain a bit about 10 minutes before my set began. The issue was this was an outdoor event and the only thing above me was open sky! As you know from a few posts ago I just had my Macbook Pro repaired so the last thing I wanted to do was give it a shower. The promoter jumped on stage and put a few garbage bag type tarps over my equipment. The show ended up great and I did a fair amount of jumping down about 20 feet to the crowd and back up again. I know it was about 20 feet high by the 2 foot bruises all over my legs from banging into the speakers I was climbing. The black and blue's were well worth it because Spain is a country you want to spend time in and a good show will get you invited back.
The only complaint I really have about the weekend was the trip back. In retrospect the situation is hilarious and it speaks volumes about Karma. Long story short, a Dutch group called Angerfist also performed in Spain and they were in my van to the airport. They decided to drink a bottle of vodka straight right before the trip started. Needless to say we had to make a few pit stops so they could puke. God has an ironic way of punishing me.
While I clean the sand and water damage off my stuff check out a few photos…

Eric Stults came away with another loss despite pitching a solid game.
Stults was outduled by Jeff Samardzija, who threw eight impressive innings, and Darwin Barney homered and drove in two runs as the Chicago Cubs beat San Diego 3-2 on Saturday night.
Stults (8-11) had allowed just a solo homer to Barney in the fifth before Will Venable tied the score with his 19th in the sixth. But a leadoff walk to Darnell McDonald and Barney's RBI double put an end to Stults' night.
"I think that leadoff walk in the seventh is what killed me, especially after having him 0-2," said Stults. "Then, I just didn't make a good pitch to Barney there."
Trailing 3-1 entering the eighth, San Diego threatened when they twice loaded the bases but could manage just one run off Samardzija (8-11).
Stults gave up three runs on six hits in 6 1-3 innings. He has now gone winless in his last seven starts with a 0-4 record. The lefty's last win was July 14 against San Francisco.
"Stultzy did his part but Samardzija was a little bit better," Padres manager Bud Black said.
In his second straight solid outing, Samardzija allowed two runs on seven hits. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two.
The light-hitting Barney, who had three hits, connected for a solo shot in the fifth inning and added a go-ahead RBI double in the Cubs' two-run seventh.
Padres pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay led off the eighth with a walk and went to second on Will Venable's single. San Diego loaded the bases when Alexi Amarista's sacrifice bunt attempt hugged the third base line but stayed fair for a hit.
Yonder Alonso followed with a sacrifice fly. But Samardzija got rookie Jedd Gyorko on a fly out. After a passed ball, Samardzija intentionally walked Chase Headley to load the bases. He then struck out Logan Forsythe to end the inning.
"Me and Dale (Sveum) might have had a meeting if he would have taken me out right down there in the dugout," Samardzija joked. "But that's what Dale is all about. Dale is all about putting confidence in players. There are a lot of under the radar things he does that puts confidence in his players. He did it for me there, too. He didn't even have a mound visit or anything. As a player, that says a lot."
Samardzija threw a six-hitter in his last start, an 11-1 win over Washington last Sunday.
Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 26th save in 30 chances.
The Cubs went ahead 2-1 in the seventh after a leadoff walk to Darnell McDonald. With one out, Barney hit a ball into the left field corner. As McDonald rounded third, Forsythe took the relay throw on the grass just behind third base.
But Forsythe's throw sailed high into the stands behind home plate, allowing Barney to go to third. Anthony Rizzo followed with a two-out RBI single.
Barney's seventh homer, which tied his career, just barely cleared the left field wall, landing in the first row.
Venable extended his career high with his homer and has hit safely in 19 of 20 games.
NOTES: Fourteen of Venable's 19 homers have come at pitching friendly Petco Park. . Stults was the first lefty starter the Cubs have faced in 16 games. ... Barney's home run was Chicago's 400th extra-base hit this season. The Cubs have 403, tops in the NL . ... Padres OF-1B Kyle Blanks, on the DL since July 12 with left Achilles inflammation, will play in a rehab game Sunday with Triple-A Tucson. ... Cubs C Welington Castillo (sore rib) missed his third straight start but is expected back in the lineup on Sunday . Cubs LHP Chris Rusin (2-3, 3.08 ERA) faces Padres righty Andrew Cashner (8-8, 3.74) in Sunday's finale.

A Sack of MagnetsSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
A man buys some magnetic spheres from a shop, cheap. He takes them home in their
bag, and pours them onto a table. They all roll around a bit, before finally
resting here and there. The man immediately knows he has a faulty product, even
though he hasn't even tried using them yet. Do you know how?
HintWhat would he expect magnets to do, anyway?
AnswerWhen they left the bag, they rolled around on the table. If they were
magnetic, then they would not have been able to roll around so much
because they would have been stuck together!

Oral Cancer
Throat and ear
ihad a severe sharp sore throat about 3 weeks ago accompanied by a feeling of lethargy and general unwellness. it lasted for about 3 days and went. 2 days later i developed another sore throat but not as bad. it`s worse in the mornings and then fades until the evening. during the day i have a constant need to try and clear the back of my nose by trying to cough up phlegm. It`s only ever a small amount and sometimes a pale green colour. now my left pinna is also giving me sharp stabbing pains and is tender to the touch. I am worried i may have some form of oral cancer.
Your primary care physician might help to evaluate those multiple sites. If the symptoms persist at the same location more than 2 weeks, you might need to be consulted to an ENT surgeon.

- BSO Case Number: PB13-06-00210
- PIO Number: 13-8-6
- Date: June 1, 2013
- Time: 6:26 p.m.
- Place of Occurrence: 2821 Centerport Circle, Pompano Beach
- Jurisdiction: Pompano Beach
- Coastal Boots, 2821 Centerport Circle, Pompano Beach
- unidentified suspects (one male, two females, one unknown)
Description of Incident:
Three masked burglars took a sledge hammer to a concrete wall of a Pompano Beach warehouse in an exhausting attempt to steal just one thing - a pair of work boots - only to leave them at the scene.
During a baffling burglary, on June 1, 2013, three unidentified thieves used a sledge hammer to create an opening large enough to walk through in the Coastal Boots warehouse wall in Pompano Beach. The criminals took their time partially demolishing the wall, once inside they disabled the alarm and grabbed only a shoe box with a pair of work boots valued at $200.
Surveillance video shows the criminals (two females and one male) running around the structure, shoe box and sledge hammer in hand. A search of the area yielded the sledge hammer and the shoe box with the new shoes still inside. An unidentified accomplice in a white 4-door sedan, possibly a Chrysler 300, is captured on video dropping off the three thieves, minutes before the burglary.

Subject to subsection (l) of this section, the Secretary may establish a program, to be known as "McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program", requiring the procurement of agricultural commodities and the provision of financial and technical assistance to carry out—

Cringe At Russell Westbrook's Bizarre Airball Fail
There are only a couple of reasons why a pro basketball player should attempt to make a half-court shot, and they all usually involve a ticking clock that's about to end the game. We've seen many failed attempts and famous wins in basketball history as only two or three seconds remained in the game and one hopeful player hurled the ball from half court praying that he would sink the winning shot. There are those guys, and then there's Russell Westbrook.

My wife really enjoys this seat. We're both getting a little older and speed is no longer the main consideration when going for a ride. this makes biking much more enjoyable than the skinny bike seat she used to have.

Great Saddle
By mike
from Mt. Laurel, NJ
I replaced the cheesey seat on a Electra cruiser with this, and it's great. It's not over-stuffed, like most gel sadddles, and it's relatively small, even compared to the stock saddle. Most compliant frame and springs I ever saw too. Very bouncey if you don't tighten the screws down a little.

text: Parvati's exquisite smiling face welcomes worshipers who would never have seen her as she appears here. In a temple setting, she would have been draped with silks, adorned with gold and gem-studded jewels and multiple garlands of flowers that would have totally concealed the lines of the sculpture. This bronze is a festival icon carried in procession during every temple festival. The double lotus upon which the goddess stands would have been inset into a rectangular pedestal with holes through it or with lugs attached so that inserted poles could rest on the shoulders of temple officers who carried the image.

Learning Resources hit another parenting need spot on with their Time Tracker® Mini. This little blue time tracker has been helping in a huge way in helping my kids "get" when something is going to happen- from time outs to their sister getting off the bus, to needing to get ready FOR the bus, how much time someone has with a toy, etc. The mini time tracker not only functions as a timer but the d0me shaped top also lights up red, and then yellow, and when it is time, green. The visual cues have made a huge difference in the struggles we sometimes have over timing issues- I don't get asked every 4 seconds "can I come out of time out yet" or "is it my turn to play with that toy" or reminding kids to get shoes on. Now, I can set the timer and say, when this goes off, and the light is green, we have to put shoes on and go leave for school. You can play, do xyz, until the light is green. They can look over, even my 2 year old, and understand that no green=its not time. I love it. The small size means I'm not searching for someplace to store this thing and it's easy to bring wherever, around the house or outside. Let's face it- waiting, time lapsing, etc, are hard for kids (and me) and any way I can help to facilitate transitions or waiting is a good thing!
The Time Tracker Mini is also great for teachers and students alike in many of the same ways it is good for parents and families at home. The visual and auditory signals really helps children – and teachers- to anticipate timing. (See embedded video below)
- Offers unique visual and auditory indicators, including a warning alarm
- Operates easily with just 2 dials: total alarm time and warning time
- Provides flexibility with total alarm time range of 5 minutes to 2 hours, in 5-minute increments
- Counts down until the colored light glows and the alarm sounds
- Supports visual-only timing when you adjust volume or turn off the sound completely
- Measures 3.25″L x 3.25″W x 4.75″H
- Requires 3 AAA batteries, not included ARV $19.99 (available in 1/12)
Let's Tackle Kindergarten arrived at a time when Jenni's oldest son, who is in Kindergarten, was struggling with a few concepts, and she wanted to reinforce some things at home. I'd originally wanted this kit because my son is really wanting to do more with me, but we sent it up the road to Jenni's house. We both like that while this kit is really a teaching and learning tool, full of resources and manipulatives to reinforce the concepts taught and learned in Kindergarten, to a kid, it's a fun tackle box, filled with things to play and do- although my son doesn't understand why there aren't worms to sort and count with since you use a tackle box for fishing!! He doesn't mind the pets, nor have an issue, but in his mind, it's a tackle box, so there should be worms for sorting. I really like that the included activity book is a wipe-off book. Less waste and I can keep using it!
I haven't really begun exploring this kit with my little guy just yet, while he's still interested in and asking about the activities in the box, he's also very into building and imaginative play right now so we've been doing a lot of building blocks instead of school time. I have a feeling we'll be delving more and more into this tackle box over the winter vacation and more and more overtime. The kit is good for ages 3-6, so all of the kids can play and benefit from having this around- and if I'm doing some letter skills with my 4 year old, my 2 year old can do some sorting and counting of the pets, or work on letter identification herself if she's showing interest. There's time for it. I like having a container that holds this all together for both storage and simplicity- it's fun and educational in one place.

My girl had a serious flare up of eczema recently and I ordered this as I didn't want her to use any chemical formulations as much as possible. She really liked this cream as she said it was sufficiently moisturising and gentle. It stung a bit when her skin was raw but was okay to use when it started to dry up. This was highly rated on EWG. Ordering more of it.

This cream really worked to help heal eczema on my hands and elbows. Within a day my skin felt better and the symtoms started disappearing. It has a soft scent that's not overpowering and it sinks into the skin quite fast. It's not too small but small enough to throw into a bag to take it on the go. I will keep ordering this for the rest of my life.
Effective skin protection
Posted by zoeblessing on May 23, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I suffer from severe eczema on my feet and have tried numerous products. NOTHING stops the crazy itching, not even this cream, but so far this has proven to be the most effective at keeping the skin moisturized. The only thing that helps me at least manage the itch is Claratin (or in my case, store brand Loratadine). All the other eczema remedies I've tried, my skin would be dry again in 10 minutes. This one lasts much, much longer, and definitely soothes the discomfort. It helps the itch a tiny bit, so that's something too. I've started to notice that flareups would occur when I eat cake or some other sugar-laden food, so I am going to try cutting that out for a week and see if that helps. Eczema is a result of an inflamed body, so sugar and wheat could be causing my inflammation. In the meantime, I will continue to use this cream to help manage the problem. I love that it's mostly natural.
Good..good..really good!!

A regional rapid bus transit system, with faster vehicles that can load more riders, is taking shape in the San Bernardino Valley.
Construction is under way on a line that runs down the E Street corridor in San Bernardino, from northwest of Cal State San Bernardino to the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center in Loma Linda.
The middle portion of the E Street corridor features dedicated lanes for the buses running down the middle of the road, and ticketing platforms in the middle of key intersections that include Marshall Boulevard, Highland Avenue, and Base Line Road.
Substantial completion is anticipated for early 2014, with testing and training taking place at that time, said Omnitrans spokesman David Rutherford.
The brand name for the rapid bus system is sbX, which stands for San Bernardino Express, Rutherford said. The E Street corridor is the first sbX line to be constructed. It's part of a larger sbX network of corridors envisioned to run on key thoroughfares throughout the San Bernardino valley and as far west as Rancho Cucamonga.
Rutherford called the project a "light rail experience on wheels," citing loading platforms that mirror ticketing platforms for rail projects such as the Gold Line.
"We want to reduce traffic congestion, and we think that by making a service available that is faster, or a more frequent service, that will attract a bigger ridership than we've had in the past with these BRT lines," Rutherford said. "We're developing the corridors and our goal is to provide connectivity with the other Omnitrans routes, as well as other transit services."
Bus rapid transit, officials said, is faster, and has fewer stops. The buses will also have traffic signal priority capability, allowing them to change stoplights to green for speedier travel.
Goals include mitigating increasing traffic on the region's freeways, increasing bus ridership, fostering transit-oriented development in the west end of San Bernardino County, and providing better transit links between the Omnitrans system, Metrolink, the Gold Line, and the LA/Ontario International Airport.
Potential sbX corridors include the east to west streets of Foothill Boulevard and Holt Boulevard, and north-south streets of Mountain Avenue, Haven Avenue, Sierra Avenue, and Riverside Avenue. The overall vision for an sbX system was approved by SANBAG in 2004.
Construction for other corridors is dependent on funding, and Omnitrans officials hope potential success with the E Street corridor will serve to bring money for the rest of the system.
"Before we even pursue (development on the other corridors), we have to complete this (E Street) project," Rutherford said. "If the (Federal Transit Administration) is satisfied with this corridor then, I think that will lead to funding for future corridors."
An 18-month study on the Foothill corridor is ongoing, while a preliminary study on Holt, to investigate stops and bus paths, is set to begin in January.
Rancho Cucamonga city officials met this past week to discuss planning for a line on Foothill Boulevard and Haven Avenue.
"The takeaway from the meeting I think is a recognition that it's a long-term project, and it's not going to get done in the next year or two, but (city leaders) asked that as we go along, we carefully analyze it, and we'll bring more details back to them for further review," said Jeff Bloom, deputy city manager for economic and community development.
City leaders, Bloom said, indicated desire to maintain bus stop or station designs consistent with the city's overall aesthetic.
"In Rancho, they've very carefully made the bus terminal fit the development," Bloom said. "They're very nicely done. They didn't want the BRT to adversely change that in a bad way."
According to the city's general plan, seven stops are envisioned, for a bus route that could conceivably run down the middle of Foothill Boulevard. The BRT would also connect to a route down Haven Avenue to the Ontario International Airport.
"I think bus rapid transit really is the future of transit," said Rohan Kuruppu, director of planning for Omnitrans.
"That's how we can most efficiently and effectively meet the mobility needs of this region. It is sustainable because as traffic conditions increases as congestion increases, we will still be able to maintain the operating speed because of dedicated lanes, stations and signal priority."

When I made White Bean Soup back in October, I shared a photo of my new blue enamel covered cast-iron dutch oven by Chantal, the pan that may be responsible for my current love of pot roast. I think I've been waiting my whole life for a pan like this, where you brown the meat well, add a bit of liquid, and let it simmer away to perfect tenderness while you're busy doing something else. Besides, this pan matches my kitchen, and looks nice sitting on top of my circa 1940 gas stove, which is where I usually store it.
Soy-Braised Pot Roast with Carrots
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe slightly adapted from Taste and Tell. Check out that version for timing suggestions if you'd prefer to use a crockpot.)
3 lb. beef chuck roast, fat trimmed
steak rub, to season roast before browning (optional, I like Pride of Szeged Steak Rub)
1-2 tsp. olive oil
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce (I used Tamari)
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 bay leaves
8-10 peppercorns
8-10 large carrots, peeled and cut into same-size diagonal cut pieces
1 T cornstarch or arrowroot starch (to thicken sauce)
(While roast browned, I put the rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder into my mortar and pestle and ground them together. This is optional, since I strained the sauce later, but I think grinding dried spices releases a lot of flavor.)
When roast is well browned, add water, soy sauce, dried rosemary, dried thyme, garlic powder, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Reduce heat to lowest possible simmer, cover pan, and cook about 2 1/2 hours, or until beef is starting to get tender.
Remove meat to a plate and add carrots to bottom of the pan. Put roast back on top of carrots and cook about 30 minutes more, or until meat is very tender and carrots are barely tender. (I like carrots with a little bite left in them, but cook them to your preference.)
Remove meat and carrots to a glass casserole dish, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven. Skim off any visible fat on top of sauce (or use a fat separator if you have one) then strain sauce to remove peppercorns, bay leaves, and any bits of dried herbs. Put sauce back in pan and cook on high until it's reduced by about 1/3. (Taste to see if it seems flavorful enough.) Mix the tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot starch into 1/4 cup cold water, then whisk into sauce and cook until it thickens slightly. Serve beef and carrots with sauce.
South Beach Suggestions:
If you're careful to trim the fat and remove fat from the sauce, this pot roast with the carrots is a good dish for phase two of the South Beach Diet. I did thicken my sauce with cornstarch, which is not something I'd use for a phase one sauce. I haven't found much information about thickeners in the South Beach Diet information, but personally I wouldn't worry about the very small amount of cornstarch used here for over 2 cups of sauce. I also thicken sometimes with white whole wheat flour, which is South Beach Diet friendly. (You could use arrowroot starch or xanthan gum to thicken if you wanted less carbs.)

The head of the University of Pennsylvania's smoking treatment program said the health system's new policy not to hire smokers is a bad one.
The clinics and hospitals within the system will no longer hire tobacco users starting July 1 of this year, according to a Penn Medicine careers website. It's an effort to improve employee health and cut down on healthcare costs. New hires will be required to self-report and will face disciplinary action, up to termination, if they are caught in a lie.
Dr. Frank Leone, director of Penn's Comprehensive Smoking Treatment Program, doesn't think it will improve health or cut down on healthcare costs.
"People have dealt with this for a very long time, desperately wanting to quit, unable to quit, confused about why they can't quit," Leone said of smokers.
Then, in order to get a job they really need, he said they will have to say they don't smoke.
"It's hard to imagine a person doing anything but really just hiding the fact that they're a smoker," Leone said. "And once that happens, particularly in a healthcare institution, the chances that they'll go and seek care for the problem go down considerably in my mind."
Smokers in hiding will still be employed, but won't take advantage of employer-offered smoking cessation programs, and healthcare costs will not be impacted, Leone argued.
Federal estimates suggest a smoker costs employers well over $3,000 a year in additional health care costs and lost productivity. But worker advocates have long argued that employers are stepping over the line with policies like Penn's.
"What you do in your own home on your own time, is none of your boss's business," said Lewis Maltby, head of the National Workrights Institute, which has lobbied against similar policies.
"Everything you do in your private life affects your healthcare costs. What you eat. Do you consume alcohol? How do you get around? Do you drive a car or ride a bicycle? And, heaven forbid, you should ride a motorcycle," Maltby said. "If it's ok to tell people they can't smoke in their own home because it impacts company medical costs, there is nothing in your private life that isn't subject to employer control."
The Cleveland Clinic was one of the first health systems to stop hiring smokers in 2007. Hospitals in several states followed suit, including many in southeast Pennsylvania: Abington Health, Lancaster General, and Roxborough Memorial -- and, last year, central Pennsylvania's Geisinger Health System.
Geisinger hiring executive Cindy Bagwell said it is too soon to tell if the policy is saving the company money on healthcare costs, but overall, it has had a negligible impact on hiring.
"We've had a very, very slight, if any, reduction in our applications. Maybe 1 percent, something like that," Bagwell said. "In addition, we've only had maybe three, four people who have failed the screening."
A handful of employees on smoke breaks outside of Pennsylvania Hospital Wednesday largely disliked the policy, calling it "discrimination" and saying it would deprive the system of good employees.
UPHS locksmith Martin White, a non-smoker, saw it differently.
"It's their right whether or not they want to hire smokers; they're a private company," White said. "If they feel like they're incurring extra costs because of it, asking somebody to quit smoking in order to get a job in this day and age, you know, it's understandable."
Current employees who smoke will be retained at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, but will pay a higher health insurance premium if they do not enroll in programs to help them quit smoking.
The system said it will continue to provide free smoking cessation counseling and nicotine replacement therapy to staff.
The new Penn restrictions will not apply to employees working in New Jersey. That is one of the 29 states where state law would make such a rule illegal.
A representative of the University of Pennsylvania Health System declined to make someone available for comment for this story.

"Freud's Last Session" by Mark St.Germain will receive its regional premiere at Actors' Summit, Akron's professional theater.
The production will have a preview performance Feb. 28 with the official opening March 1. The show will run for three weeks, closing on March 17 at Greystone Hall in downtown Akron.
The play is set in the London study of Sigmund Freud. Freud has been in London for a little over a year, having fled the Nazi persecution. On the day that Great Britain enters the Second World War, C. S. Lewis, a young Oxford professor, visits at Freud's invitation. Freud, a lifelong atheist has invited Lewis to chat about Lewis' recent conversion to Christianity from atheism. Although religion is the starting point of the discussion, it soon expands to include the nature of humor, sexual mores, and death. Freud is approaching the end of his life, which may or may not have prompted him to invite Lewis to his home. Lewis is still early in his career, with "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Screwtape Letters" yet to be written.
Individual ticket prices are $19 at the preview on Feb. 28 and the Saturday matinee on March 9. On Thursdays and Sundays adults are $28 and seniors over 65 are $25. Opening night March 1 and all Saturdays are $30. Fridays are $28. All full time students with ID can attend any performance for $9. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.actorssummit.org, or by phone at 330-374-7568.
The theater is on the sixth floor of historic Greystone Hall in downtown Akron. The facility features barrier free access, free parking, and full bar service.
'Drink, Shrink and Dessert'
Actors' Summit also will host a special event in conjunction with "Freud's Last Session" "Drink, Shrink & Dessert."
The event will take place March 2. The evening will begin at 6 p.m., when guests arrive at the home of one of five gracious hosts in Hudson, Peninsula, or West Akron to enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
Following the cocktail hour, guests will drive to Greystone Hall in downtown Akron to enjoy Actors' Summit's production. After the show guests will be treated to desserts, including chocolate dipped strawberries, Guinness chocolate cake, cherry pie, cheesecakes and more prepared by Actors' Summit company members.
Tickets for this benefit evening are available at $70 per person. The price for season ticket holders is only $50. Actors' Summit is a 501-c-3, tax exempt, charitable organization so $40 of the ticket price is tax deductible.
To receive an invitation, call 330-374-7568 or order on-line at www.actorssummit.org. For additional information, call Ellen Otto at 330-256-2001.

If Dell Deal Fails, Look Out Below
If the closely watched deal to take Dell private doesn't pass, the stock price could be in for an ugly tumble.
Shareholders are scheduled to vote this Wednesday on Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners' $24.4 billion buyout offer, after the PC maker delayed last week's vote, which at the time looked likely to fail. The company and its potential buyers are now trying drum up enough support of the deal through renewed sales pitches.
"By all accounts, it appears the vote to take Dell private will be a nail-biter," says Chris Whitmore, research analyst at Deutsche Bank.
Should the $13.65-a-share buyout fail, he predicts the stock would fall to about $9.
"If shareholders vote down the deal, we'd expect a proxy fight to ensue and the future of Dell (and its strategy) to become highly uncertain," Whitmore says.
Shares closed Friday at $13.14 and have traded in the $13-and-$14 range throughout much of the five-month fight for the technology company. "We see roughly 30% downside to Dell's share price if the deal were to collapse," he says.
Here's a look at Dell's stock price over the past 12 months, including the spike earlier this year after reports initially broke about Mr. Dell's intentions to take the company private.
Last week, Dell and Silver Lake appeared to fall short of the 751 million shares they needed to win approval. Only about 77% of the eligible shares voted, a turnout low enough to spook the company into adjourning the vote for fear of failure. Since shares not cast count as no votes, the buyout group has targeted a turnout of 85%. Wednesday's count will come down to whether an additional days of cajoling by the buyout camp is successful at increasing the turnout.
If the proxy solicitors charged with trying to sway holders for Mr. Dell and Silver Lake fail to get out the vote or flip a few key votes to their side, as they appeared to just ahead of last week's deadline, the vote could be in trouble again.
In addition to the drama surrounding the deal, the fundamentals surrounding Dell's core PC business look troublesome. "Insights gleaned from Microsoft recent earnings call paint a concerning picture for medium-term PC corporate demand," Whitmore says.
For instance, Microsoft last week said about 75% of its installed base has moved from XP and onto Windows 7, "which suggests the low hanging fruit in this corporate PC refresh cycle has been peaked," Whitmore says.
"The decline of this relatively high margin segment of the PC industry and ongoing tablet/smartphone cannibalization in both the consumer and corporate PC market will likely translate into several years of declining revenue and margin pressure across the PC industry," Whitmore says.
"With a proxy fight looming in a 'no' scenario in the Dell shareholder vote and PC industry fundamentals under considerable strain, we'd think twice before voting against a bird in the hand."

For Immediate Release
Today, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Humanity United announced the winners of the Model Challenge, the final round of the Tech Challenge for Atrocity Prevention. Managed in collaboration with the Harvard-NASA Tournament Lab, the NASA Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation, and TopCoder, the Model Challenge asked problem solvers to create algorithmic models that can help forecast when and where mass atrocities are likely to occur. The winning algorithms will help human rights organizations and governments create tools that make it easier to identify at-risk regions, leading to more effective atrocity prevention efforts.
Nearly 100 contributors submitted 618 models for the challenge through TopCoder's online competition platform. The five most promising entries, all of which used historical events and other data to model the risk of violence in the near-term future, were awarded prizes ranging from $1,000 to $12,000.
First first-place winner Xiaoshi Lu of China was awarded $12,000. Using geographic, socio-political, and historical violence factors, Lu was able to create an algorithm that proved most successful in predicting atrocities in regions with limited or no past history of mass violence.
The other winners were:
- Second Place ($6,000): Julian Labeit of Germany
- Third Place ($3,000): Zhanyi of Singapore
- Fourth Place ($2,000): Balázs Gődény of Hungary
- Fifth Place ($1,000): Cyril Vincler of France
In addition, David Mace of the California Institute of Technology, won $1,000 for his suggestion to evaluate the tensions between regions and the capacity for stress within a network as part of a model.
"In this final challenge, we sought innovative applicants that could access and apply newly available data to the prevention of mass atrocities," said USAID Deputy Assistant Administrator for the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance, Sarah Mendelson. "We were pleased with the entries we received, and we are optimistic that the winning solutions will contribute to the development of new tools to support decision makers in the future."
Since its launch in October 2012, the Tech Challenge has issued five sub-challenges related to atrocity prevention. With the final sub-challenge now complete, Humanity United and USAID will explore ways to pilot and scale the most promising innovations.
"Complex challenges such as preventing atrocities require innovative solutions," said Randy Newcomb, president and CEO of Humanity United. "What's exciting about this challenge is the application of advanced analytics to a diverse set of data, to help us better understand where atrocities might occur next. We look forward to working with the winners to refine and expand these ideas."
The Model Challenge drew from two public datasets: the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT) and the Political Instability Task Force (PITF) data on worldwide atrocities.
More detail on each of the challenges and winners is available at http://thetechchallenge.org/

Snow closures lifted on I-5 and back on for 58
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) -- Snow turning into ice caused several road closures, making driving hazardous especially in the higher elevations.
The California Highway Patrol shut down east bound Highway 58 at Tower Line Road and west bound was closed just west of Mojave at around 8:30 Saturday morning. One hour later, Interstate 5 was also shut down in both directions. South bound drivers were being turned back at the Grapevine.
Joe Garza of Hanford and his family were on their way to the Glendale Galeria, but with both 58 and I-5 closed, Garza said there was nothing he could do but wait it out.
Then at around 1 p.m. the CHP opened Interstate 5 in both directions. Highway 58 through Tehachapi was also reopened, but just three hours later, the highway was closed again because of ice and snow while restrictions for SR33 were lifted with the exception of chains being required between Wheeler Gorge and Lockwood Valley Road.
A Winter Weather Advisory issued by the National Weather Service was in effect until 10 p.m. for Kern County mountain areas above 1500 feet with snow expected to taper off in the evening. While a hard freeze warning was put into effect for the central and southern San Joaquin Valley through Tuesday morning.
SR14 was shut down due to an accident Saturday afternoon. The CHP said a high wind warning would be in effect until 7 p.m. The closure was between Hwy. 58 and SR395. Trailers and high profile vehicles were advised to avoid the area until the wind advisory was cancelled.

Double Takes - Made Me Look - Again!
People have always known how to have fun getting dressed up, and Harry Rhoads was a photographer who knew how to capture people having fun. Here's a picture [RH-5917] of cowboy star Tom Mix with a couple of admiring flappers. Here's the Wikipedia bio on Mr. Mix:
Thomas Edwin "Tom" Mix (born Thomas Hezikiah Mix; January 6, 1880 – October 12, 1940) was an American film actor and the star of many early Western movies. Between 1909 and 1935, Mix appeared in 291 films, all but nine of which were silent movies. He was Hollywood's first Western megastar and is noted as having helped define the genre for all cowboy actors who followed.
Tom Mix was "the King of Cowboys" when Ronald Reagan and John Wayne were youngsters and the influence of his screen persona can be seen in their approach to portraying cowboys. When an injury caused football player John Wayne to drop out of USC, Tom Mix helped him get a job moving props in the back lot of Fox Studios.
For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Tom Mix has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1708 Vine Street. His cowboy boot prints, palm prints and his famous horse Tony's hoof prints are at Grauman's Chinese Theatre at 6925 Hollywood Boulevard.
Here are some of the many contemporary cultural references that have been made to this early Hollywood icon.
In 1967, Mix was featured with many other 20th century celebrities on the cover of The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
In Woody Allen's 1983 film Zelig, archival footage is shown of Mix attending a party at Hearst Castle near San Simeon, California.
In The Beverly Hillbillies, Jed Clampett's reason for going to Beverly Hills was to live in the same place as Tom Mix.
Tom Mix is mentioned as being a pall bearer and weeping at the funeral for Wyatt Earp at the beginning of the end credits for the 1993 George P. Cosmatos film Tombstone.
In the Doctor Who episode The Gunfighters, the TARDIS lands at Tombstone, Arizona in 1881, where the Doctor says he doesn't understand why they want to dress like Tom Mix.
In the series Bewitched in the episode "Serena's Youth Pill," Darin tries to convince young Larry Tate to drink the magic antidote by telling him it would help Larry grow up to be a cowboy like Tom Mix.
Love the hat, Tom!

Brandon Rush + AJ Price for Nikola Pekovic
Pekovic is a solid, tough backup Center and he's 25 years old. He has 2 years/$9 million left on his contract.
T-Wolves have Brad Miller and Darko at the 5 already and Tolliver and Love can both play it if necessary. They could use Rush's 3P shooting and a backup 1 like AJ wouldn't hurt.
I would throw in a future 2nd if that's what it took to get the deal done. I like what Pekovic can bring in the backup 5 spot.

I have had my website up now for over two years, and enjoy it, but I know it's pretty archaic and the layout is boring.I would like to change it into a two or three column site, but have never really understood how to do this. Is there an easy explanation, or is there a video that might help me in how to do this.
Thanks in advance...
Hi Barnum!
hopefully without too much criticism
Criticism (in the sense of nasty comments) is not allowed here, and we are determined to stamp it out, so feel confident that we won't allow it.
In terms of changing the layout, the first thing to be considering is why you want to change the layout, and how you want to organize things. If you are having more than one column, what is the purpose of a second one? Is it a sidebar? If so, what goes in it?
So make sure you are very clear at first about the rationals for columns. Honestly, often one column is better, simpler, and easier to understand.
So make sure to plan this out carefully first, perhaps on paper, and draw up an exact picture of what you need. Then we can propose a simple way to do the layout.
Create one column theme. Looks neat and organized. Or at the max two columns if situation demands you to. Don't make too many and make it look clumsy.
Thanks Ralph for the quick reply....sorry I didn't respond sooner.
I guess I see other sites that are so much more interesting to look at, and then I look at mine, and it's pretty dull looking. I also think that I could consolidate my space more by having a couple of columns instead of one,but being the old guy I am, and a real amateur, maybe I am wasting my time. I have fooled with columns in the past but for whatever reason just couldn't get the hang of them.
You may be right in that I really don't have a good reason for wanting to change. Will plunder on and do my thing. thanks Ralph very much.
Why not consider what Wordpress can do for you, then?
I do have a companion site on wordpress that I started just the first of this year, but to lose all the months of posts, not to mention hundreds of photos, I just can't take down my original site. Plus I find Wordpress annoying when it comes to photos, etc...
I guess if you were dedicated enough, you could transfer them all over. But it might be a big task.
Honestly, with a site like yours, I actually prefer a single column. I tend to ignore things in columns, especially sidebar content. So in a way, it's better for your content to be arranged in a column as you have it. I don't think it makes it boring at all.
Thanks Ralph....appreciate it.
On reflection, one simple change that might be worth making is to give a maximum width to the column, so that the content doesn't get too wide.
For example, you could change this:
body {
margin-top: 10%;
margin-right: 70px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 70px;
to this
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: 10% auto 0;
Putting a width and side margins on the body itself is not always best practice, but heck, if it works OK, I wouldn't worry. Worth a try, anyhow. Some wider elements on the page might blow out a little, but overall, it might have a nicer effect.
The wordpress site is certainly a big improvement.
If WP CMS doesn't agree with you, try alternative CMS's until you find one that suits you:
GetSimple in particular seems very encouraging:http://get-simple.info/http://get-simple.info/start/screenshots/
I don't think that was the issue, so much as it being daunting to move over all the content on the old site to the new one—be it WP or anything else. I was thinking that Tumblr would also be a nice fit for what Barnum is doing (same kind of single column format), but the issue is the same.
If that:
then moving the content is always faster and cheaper.
Probably sound reasoning. However, for a personal site, the pleasure of doing it oneself is often more important than speed or economy of effort.
So how would Barnum get updates (more like upgrades by now) for TomatoCMS ?Newest TomatoCMS download, v2.0.8, is from August 2010.Included Zend Framework v1.10.0 (August 2010).Included jQuery Framework, v1.4.2 (September 2010).Forum dead. Wiki dead. Twitter dead.Project dead?
