Godspell on Broadway - Revived in a Spectacular, Joyous ProductionNovember 29, 2011 - by Ellis Nassour
Godspell, the joyous and often poignant musical from Grammy- and Oscar-winning composer Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin), based on the Gospel of St. Matthew, needs little introduction today, but when it debuted Off Broadway in 1971, it broke new ground in its treatment of the historical Jesus. The current revival goes even further in the groundbreaking department. In fact, it's a Godspell for a new generation.
One of the show's advertising catch phrases is "Spread the love!" It easily does that. Forty years ago, it began touching the hearts of countless theatergoers, and now it will continue to do so.
Daniel Goldstein's production, based on John-Michael Tebelak's original concept, is ultra-contemporary, packed with very-today jokes and social media mentions, such as Facebook (and references to the "tablet" aren't the ones the 10 commandments were written on), and any number of public figures -- including Donald Trump, Bernie Madoff, and the late Steve Jobs. In addition, the show's a visual feast (you can't miss the variety of chandeliers hung throughout the theatre), audience-friendly, and very appealing to children from grammar school on up -- which makes it a perfect family show not only for the holidays but also beyond.
The 10-member, contagiously energetic cast has a rousing good time, hamming it up as they roam the in-the-round Circle in the Square Theatre and interact with audience members (even bringing a couple onstage to become part of the show).
Hunter Parish, in the role of Jesus as an Everyman hero, was most recently seen on Broadway in the hit musical Spring Awakening. He also co-starred for eight seasons as Mary-Louise Parker's son in a very different kind of show, Showtime's groundbreaking Weeds, where he definitely wasn't emulating Jesus. Who knew he would turn out to also be such an excellent showman, dancer, and singer?
Parish is ably supported by an incredible cast of singer/actors, including Wallace Smith (Judas), who is no stranger to Broadway, having played major roles in Green Day's American Idiot, Ragtime, Hair, and The Lion King.
Overall, the infectiously engaging ensemble -- Uzo Aduba, Nick Blaemire, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, Celisse Henderson, Morgan James, Telly Leung, Lindsay Mendez, and George Salazar -- is a United Nations' Who's Who of seasoned young performers, all of whom have standout moments.
Then there's the soft-rock score, which has kept Godspell alive and well through the years in the minds and hearts of theatergoers and music lovers. The musical's most famous tune, the vibrant "Day By Day," reached #13 in 1972 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart.
"The popularity of the record helped make the show a bigger hit," recalls Schwartz. "At one point, there were 10 companies playing simultaneously in the U.S., plus productions in London, Paris, Australia, South Africa and Germany."
Vibrant new orchestrations throughout revitalize the score that includes such well-known tunes as "Prepare Ye," "Turn Back, O Man," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "We Beseech Thee," and "Light of the World." The six-man band, under the direction of Charlie Alterman, with its three guitar players sitting among the audience, sounds more like a full orchestra.
Choreographer Christopher Gattelli (Lincoln Center's South Pacific revival, Roundabout Theatre's Sunday in the Park With George revival) provides plenty of movement in an amazing variety of styles, including soft-shoe, rhumba, hip-hop, the Texas Two-Step, and even some cool trampoline action.
There's hardly a dull moment during the irresistibly light and breezy first 90 minutes, as Parish and the cast recall parables, such as the one about the Good Samaritan, from the Gospels (including St. Luke's) while the latter part of the musical turns quite affecting and reverent with memorable tableaux beginning with the last supper, Judas' betrayal, and the moving crucifixion finale.
Godspell is playing at the Circle in the Square Theatre, W. 50th St. btw. Broadway & Eighth Ave. For tickets, call 212-239-6200 or click here.

ALAMEDA (CBS / AP) — A widow arranging a memorial service for her deceased husband is without his ashes after a thief entered an East Bay church and stole a backpack containing the remains.
Alameda police Lt. Sean Lynch said the wife of Marvin Kent Hockabout left a green Rick Steves backpack containing her husband's ashes unattended for about 5 minutes Saturday afternoon while planning the service at the Christ Episcopal Church.
Lynch said that there were two wooden urns in the bag left in the sanctuary area of the unlocked church.
He said police do not know whether the thief was aware the backpack contained the urns.
No one witnessed the theft, and police said church officials waited hours to report the theft because the family believed the backpack may have been misplaced.

I approve this article. Didn't know there was enough info to make it.Baggins (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks :), the problem I have for now is how to name the article, as it is not a tribe but just a bunch of draenei that crossed through the dark portal we can't name it Lost One tribe. Do you have any suggestion? Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 19:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
I have finished the article but still don't know how to name it. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 20:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
- Well they aren't really a "faction" like Stormwind, Undercity, etc. Like you said above, we are not sure if they are a tribe. Could we just name it "Lost Ones" since "Lost One" is the race or would they conflict? If so, then how about Lost Ones (organization)? I am not too sure if there are any named/leaders of the Lost Ones though. Well like I said earlier in the other talk page, this looks similiar to the Portal Seeker / Portal Seekers problem. One is an NPC, while the other seems to be an organization. I had to split the page because the whole article was on some group called the "Portal Seekers" and there was zero info on the Mob. I moved the "group" to its own page with fact tags so that the Mob could be represented. Rolandius (talk - contr) 05:08, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think it is misleading that this article is called (faction) because factions in WoW are those groups you can gain reputation with I believe. Rolandius (talk - contr) 01:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
- Actually this title was just a temparary solution as no one had commented, but I'll move it to Lost Ones (organization) because, as you say, faction are the organizations that give reputation. Benitoperezgaldos (talk) 01:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Are Real Interest Rates Equal Across Countries? An Empirical Investigation of International Parity Conditions
The proposition that real rates are equal across countries is worth studying because it is central to our understanding of open economy macroeconomics and because it is also an important issue to policy makers. If it is true, then domestic monetary authorities have no control over their real rate relative to the world rate, limiting the impact of their stabilization policies. In addition, as Feldstein has pointed out, unless real rates can differ across countries, policies directed at increasing domestic savings cannot increase the rate of capital formation and hence productivity. The equality of real rates is also worth investigating, because it is intimately linked to and provides information on the basic parity conditions featured so prominently in open economy macro models.This paper conducts empirical tests of the equality of real rates and other parity conditions across countries using euro rate data over the1967-II to 1979-II sample period. The empirical evidence strongly rejects the hypothesis of the equality of real euro rates across countries. The joint hypotheses of uncovered interest parity and ex ante relative PPP, or the unbiasedness of forward rate forecasts and ex ante relative PPP, are also strongly rejected. Yet independent tests of uncovered interest parity, the unbiasedness of forward rate forecasts and ex ante relative PPP yield few rejections and high marginal significance levels. The evidence suggests that it is worth studying open economy models which allow: 1) domestic real rates to differ from world rates, 2) time varying risk premiums in the forward market or 3) deviations from ex ante relative purchasing power parity.The evidence also leaves open the possibility for policy makers to exertsome control over their domestic real rate relative to those in the rest of the world. However, the evidence does not rule out that there is a tendency for real rates across countries to equalize over time, and this is an important topic for further research.

Issues in the measurement of localization
The degree of localization of manufacturing, defined as the excess geographic concentration remaining after correcting for both sectoral concentration and the agglomeration of overall economic activity, has recently gained new techniques of measurement in the form of indexes and numerical methods. These techniques are illustrated, compared, and theoretically discussed to show that they are consistent advancements, but none is yet able to satisfy all desirable properties. The measurement of localization would be more interesting if it could be related to economic processes and not limited to simple observational aspects. In achieving this, there are a number of complications, which are reviewed in the paper. Among these, the choice of the right sectoral scale at which these measures have to be applied is normally given too little importance. The second part of this paper advocates that this is a complex issue, since no digit level is appropriate for all industries. Moreover, different aggregations of narrowly defined subsectors may be more suitable than the standard industrial classifications. This is supported by an exploratory analysis, in two British sectors, based on the investigation of possible localization reasons identified in recent taxonomies. As the many localization measurement techniques have become available, it is recommended that they be applied to sector studies, and not confined to countrywide extensive explorations of all sectors.

Arthralgia is a medical term that refers to the symptom of joint pain. Some people distinguish it from arthritis, which is the word used when the medical condition is inflammatory in nature, while arthralgia is used when it is not inflammatory. However, as noted on this page, many conditions involving inflammation can lead to arthralgia. Note that other symptoms may also be present depending upon what has led to the condition.
Many different medical causes can be behind the sensation of joint pain. This site does not contain a comprehensive list of possibilities, however, some issues that may cause arthralgia are discussed or listed. Keep in mind that if a person does have this condition, it doesn't mean that one of the medical issues mentioned here is the reason for its existence.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
One of the possible causes for this type of joint pain is systemic lupus erythematosus. It is a type of autoimmune disorder, and may affect various locations throughout the individual's body. Inflammation and damage to tissue takes place as the immune system "attacks" the tissue and cells of the patient. In general, the disease does not follow a predictable course. There may be times of remission, as well as symptomatic episodes. There is no known cure for SLE, although its symptoms can be treated. Prognosis is relatively positive, as the five-year survival rate is roughly 95 percent in some places, such as the United States.
Read more about SLE.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic inflammatory condition of unknown cause. It does have an autoimmune aspect to it, though, in its progression, as well as its chronic nature. Only around one percent of the population worldwide has this disorder. In general, women have it roughly three times more than men do. Symptoms may appear in many areas throughout the body.
Continue reading about rheumatoid arthritis.
Additional causes
Aside from the issues already mentioned, the following items are also possible arthralgia causes:
Bursitis - inflammation of the synovial bursae
Cancers that metastasize to bones
Crohn's disease - an intestinal inflammatory disease
Fibromyalgia - a disorder involving pain
Gout - a kind of inflammatory arthritis, usually recurring
Lyme disease - also known as Lyme borreliosis
Multiple myeloma - a plasma cell cancer
Osteomyelitis - bone/bone marrow infection
Osteosarcoma - a type of bone cancer
Scleroderma - a systemic autoimmune disorder

CLEARFIELD — A 13-year-old boy was in extremely critical condition Wednesday night after falling off his skateboard and being run over by a car.
The accident happened about 7 p.m. on 1000 East near 1100 South, Clearfield police Sgt. Kyle Jeffries said.
The boy apparently had fallen off his skateboard on 1000 East and then was hit by an elderly driver who said she didn't see him, Jeffries said.
"It looks like maybe that he had come out into the road and fell into the road, and she didn't have time to react or even see him," he said.
The boy was pinned under the car for several minutes, Jeffries said.Comment on this story
"We don't carry extrication stuff in our vehicles," he said. "So we just yelled to (neighbors) around to grab anything they could to shore up the car while we jacked it up. Once we had it in the air, we just used all the bricks and other materials, wood, to shore up the car so that it wouldn't fall back down on him."
Jeffries said police kept talking to the boy until paramedics arrived. The boy was flown by medical helicopter to Primary Children's Medical Center.
"It just looks like a terrible accident," he said.

Joe Torre will lead U.S. in World Baseball Classic, but can he make a difference?
Even though it's less than a year away, we haven't heard many details or chatter about the 2013 World Baseball Classic.
Who will be playing for the teams? Which sites are being considered for the games? Which country will A-Rod claim this time around and will it even want him?
There are no answers to the questions above — the official site hasn't even been updated since the 2009 final — but we might be moving in that direction with Thursday's revelation that Joe Torre will manage the third version of the U.S. team.
Because Buck Martinez managed the squad in 2006 and Davey Johnson got the honor in 2009, it looks like there's a tradition being set of selecting a skipper without any team ties at the time. That makes sense given that the tournament is conducted during spring training and probably sends the signal that Tony La Russa should keep his 2016 open.
SB Nation's Rob Neyer notes that the United States hasn't finished higher than fourth in the WBC and I suppose Torre is being brought in to remedy that.
It should be said, though, that Torre isn't walking into any sort of pressure here. Well, at least not from the country's sports fans, who have shown little shame or consternation after not showing well in either of Bud Selig's pet tournaments. No one, after all, was comparing the 2009 semifinal loss to Japan to the 2004 U.S. men's basketball team flopping at the Olympics.
Then again, I'm open to the argument that part of the reason that the WBC hasn't taken off is because the United States has yet to stage a dominant run. Selig probably enlisted his buddy Torre to change that, but he'll face the same challenges — disinterested players, limiting the injury risk to his pitching staff and a small window of preparation time — that has hampered the team in the past. The very nature of a short baseball team necessitates a healthy amount of luck, but Torre might need even more than that.
Want more baseball fun all season long?

Note that in the future we might have one event manager per capability so we might add getSystemEventManagerOn :: Int -> IO (Maybe EventManager) where the first argument would be the capability. If we do add an event manager per capability we could have getSystemEventManager get the current thread's capability and call getSystemEventManagerOn. The question in my mind is whether getSystemEventManager* should return IO EventManager or IO (Maybe EventManager). I don't like having an API which conditionally exports different entities depending on some CPP, this means that the CPP code needs to be copied into every use sight as well. That argues for having it return (Maybe EventManager). > I'm also not sure from which module to export this function.

WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will make at least one lineup change and one strategic one to their offence for Friday's game against Toronto.
Head coach Tim Burke wouldn't confirm the roster move Tuesday, but receiver Doug Pierce has been told he'll play — most likely at the expense of Clarence Denmark.
"When they told me this morning, I was amped," Pierce said. "I've been hyped all day. A year and a half of hard work on that practice squad. I'm ready."
Pierce made a brief appearance last season, catching three passes in two games.
He'll give quarterback Buck Pierce a big (6-foot-5) target over the 5-foot-10 Denmark, who was shut out against Hamilton last week and has just four catches in three games.
The other change for the Winnipeg offence will see a reversal of sorts in how Buck Pierce is allowed to play.

Jacksonville Beach police responded to a home in the 900 block of Third Avenue South after a domestic disturbance was reported on March 28 at 9 p.m.
At the scene, a 40-year-old Jacksonville Beach man had a red welt on the side of his neck. Reportedly, his girlfriend, a 56-year-old Jacksonville Beach woman, had bitten him on the neck after he asked her to marry him.
The proposal allegedly spurred the fight; the woman said she was thrown into a table by her boyfriend after her refusal. She showed police her arm which had minor abrasions and blood on it.
Both parties were intoxicated and denied harming the other. Because a primary aggressor couldn't be determined and both individuals sustained injuries, both were placed under arrest as mutual combatives.
After the man realized he was going to jail, he requested medical assistance for an alleged broken nose and concussion, which he hadn't mentioned before. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue responded, and the man was medically cleared.
Both were sent to the Duval County Jail.
■ Police were dispatched to Lewis Street on March 22 at 3:30 a.m. to investigate a stolen vehicle. A 35-year-old Atlantic Beach woman met with officers and told them she left her apartment to smoke a cigarette around 1:30 a.m. when she noticed that her 2005 blue Chevrolet SUV was missing. The woman said she suspected three juveniles that she'd let in her apartment earlier that night to visit with her daughter.
The three juveniles — a 14-year-old boy, 15-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl — left around 1 a.m., but according to the woman, one of the boys asked to be let back in to use the bathroom. The woman believed that her keys were stolen then.
The woman's daughter called her friends, and they denied having any knowledge of the stolen truck, insisting that they were on foot in Russell Park. Police drove around the area but couldn't locate the stolen vehicle or the trio.
On March 22 at 8:56 p.m., police responded to Donner Park where the 15-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy were spotted running into the park from the SUV, which was left parked partially in the roadway on the 1100 block of Hidden Cove Circle North. The victim, who had been tipped off by one of the young suspects' mothers, was also at the SUV. The keys weren't in the vehicle, but the mother of the 14-year-old boy was en route with the keys. The victim of the theft declined to have her SUV processed, and the vehicle was released to her.
Later, the boy and his mother were brought in for questioning. The mother said that she got a phone call from the victim and her son admitted to taking turns driving around Jacksonville Beach in the stolen truck. When the mother cornered her son that night, he threw the keys at her and ran. The boy told police that the trio agreed to take the truck after they noticed the keys in the seat as they were leaving the apartment complex. He was arrested and taken to the county jail.
Police obtained warrants for the 15-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy.
On March 29, the two were located after a woman on Lewis Street called police at 4:05 p.m. to report that the juvenile suspects had broken out the front windows of her home with a rock. She said they left on bicycle. The two were picked up separately on Mayport Road, arrested and taken to the Duval County Jail.
■ A 21-year-old Atlantic Beach man was taken into custody on March 25 after he admitted to breaking his own vehicle out of a towing lot.
On March 24 at around 5 p.m., a tow truck driver called police to report the theft of two cars from the lot at ASAP Towing and Storage on Mealy Street. A 2005 gray Buick Rainier and a 1989 blue Honda were missing. A rear fence was also damaged. Debris and pieces of the gate were removed from the roadway prior to officer arrival, disturbing the scene.
While the VIN number on the Honda was invalid, police were able to trace the Buick's VIN number to a Park Terrace West address.
On March 25 at 6:02 p.m., police went to the address and found the Buick in the driveway with "extensive front end damage." A woman at the house said the car belonged to her son who was not home.
At 7:30 p.m., the woman arrived at Atlantic Beach Police headquarters with her son, a 21-year-old Atlantic Beach man. He agreed to participate in an interview without a lawyer present and said that he entered the yard through a gap in the fence at about 9 or 10 p.m. and used his key to start the Buick. He admitted to driving the car at a high speed through the locked fence. He denied taking the Honda. He was arrested and driven to the county jail.
Damage to the fence was valued at $1,000. No other details on the 1989 Honda were available at the time.
■ A loud bang alerted police to a single vehicle crash on March 29 at about 3 a.m. at the intersection of Lemon and Third streets.
At the scene, police had the driver of the white 1998 Chevrolet Corvette — a 24-year-old Jacksonville man — get out of the car due to the heavy rain and smoke from the deployed airbags. The man reportedly said he was trying to light a cigarette while driving north when the Corvette left the lane and struck a light pole in the median.
The man appeared to be drunk, and he admitted to drinking three beers with dinner. He performed poorly on sobriety test exercises, was arrested and taken to the county jail. The Corvette was towed.
■ Staff at Tama's Sushi at 106 First St. called police at 9:27 p.m. on March 25 after they found a 26-year-old intoxicated Pennsylvania man with blood on his face and hands passed out in front of the restaurant.
Officers responded and found the man at the Island Girl Cigar Bar, swaying and holding onto a standing ashtray for support. He tried to run but was caught.
Nearby witnesses said the man had fallen and sustained lacerations to his face and hands. Sushi bar staff also said that he had fallen onto a car in the parking lot, and then urinated on it. Smears of blood and urine were found on the passenger side and rear of the car. The man was arrested for disorderly intoxication and public disturbance and transported to the Duval County Jail.
■ On March 29 at 5 p.m., police were called to the 100 block of South Street. A 46-year-old Neptune Beach man at the beach access ramp told police that his bicycle had been stolen. The man said he locked the bicycle to a wooden post, then wrapped the key into a shirt that he tied around the bicycle before heading to the beach. At 4:30 p.m., he returned and discovered his bike was missing. He believed that a passerby saw him stash his key.
The case is suspended pending further information.
■ A 19-year-old Alabama man, just arrested for drunkenly trying to gain entrance into several vehicles in a Jacksonville Beach parking lot two hours earlier, tried to escape the intake area at the Duval County Jail on March 27 at 3 a.m.
A Jacksonville Beach officer had instructed the man to face the intake doors and wait for his number to be called when the man instead took off, running through the open sally port door. Officers gave chase, and the man was knocked to the ground, sustaining small scrapes. An attempted escape from jail was added to the charges against the man.
■ A 65-year-old Jacksonville Beach woman was issued a Notice to Appear for battery after she threw a sandwich at an officer on March 28 at 2:51 p.m. According to the officer, the woman became upset when her son was being arrested in front of her for a separate charge. She began yelling at the officer. When the officer was walking away, the woman threw a half-eaten sandwich at her, hitting her in the back.
■ A 23-year-old homeless man was arrested at Publix, 408 Beach Blvd. on March 26 at 8:45 p.m. for shoplifting.
According to a manager, the man — outfitted in camouflage — opened a can of Vienna sausages inside the store, ate them, and then attempted to hide the empty can on a shelf. He then bought two other items and left the store. He was arrested for theft and disorderly intoxication.

If you're the type of person who thinks the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG isn't fast enough, you'll be pleased with the latest news from Stuttgart.
The German firm has revealed the SLS AMG Black Series – a faster and lighter version of the Mercedes supercar.
Black Series cars are renowned for being extra hardcore versions of "standard" AMG models and the new SLS Black doesn't disappoint.
Under the bonnet lies the same 6.3-litre V8 but it has been reworked to now produce 622bhp – up 59bhp. The rev limit has also been maxed out – now it's 8,000rpm.
The standard car's kerbweight has been cut too. Engineers have shed 70kg thanks to changing various aluminium parts to carbon-fibre ones, while the interior now gets bucket seats.
The brakes have been swapped for ceramic ones, as well, and there's a tweaked seven-speed semi-automatic gearbox.
All of this means the SLS Black Series can hurtle to 60mph in 3.4 seconds – but the top speed is 1mph less due to all of the new aerodynamic parts fitted which have caused added drag. 196mph, however, is not to be sniffed at.
Those aero parts help the Black stand out from its siblings. There's an aggressive body kit, diffusers at the front and at the rear along with new exhausts and an optional rear wing.

NBC faced a daunting balancing act Friday night as it tried to cover the death of an Olympic luger while moving forward with the Opening Ceremony of the 2010 Games in Vancouver.
For the most part, the Peacocks handled it well. The network opened its nearly five-hour show with a frank, extensive news report that deployed everyone from Brian Williams to Tom Brokaw to Matt Lauer to Bob Costas.
Included in the report were several video replays of the crash. Some viewers thought it should not have been shown at all, but journalistically it had to be - following a warning for those who might be troubled by it.
The jarring part came when NBC veered abruptly back into its game plan for the evening, beginning with a piece narrated by Brokaw on the relationship between Canada and the U.S.
Other news outlets had the luxury of devoting all of their attention Friday into Saturday to the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili, but NBC had an extravagant ceremony to present and a two-week party to kick off.
Short of the IOC cancelling the festivities for the night, the network did not have much choice but to show it and celebrate it, while occasionally referencing the events of earlier in the day.
Still, there could have been a bit more of that, such as asking athletes other than just Lindsey Vonn - perhaps even someone representing the nation of Georgia - to discuss their mixed emotions.
The Peacocks must continue to cover the aftermath of the incident as it pertains to the luge competition, of course. Stay tuned.
Here is a take from former Newsday scribe Sandomir of the Times, probably the most influential sports media columnist in North America.
Here is an interesting piece for sports media/business wonks that explores whether or not the Olympics are worth all the time and money for the IOC's TV partners.
In non-Olympics news, Penn upset Cornell at the Palestra Friday night, causing fans to storm the court and probably costing the Big Red a favorable NCAA Tournament seed.
That wasn't the weirdest part. The weirdest part was ESPN having Buster Douglas comment on the upset on SportsCenter.
Enjoy the slam-dunk competition tonight.

Mind your hair extensions to keep them in the best condition possible. They are valuable accessories to your look and are actually quite easy to maintain. All you need to know is a few basic care instructions as outlined below. These tips can help you keep human hair extensions looking fabulous and lasting longer.
Be Extremely Gentle
When caring for hair extensions, brushing or styling the extensions gently can prevent the hair from falling out. Use a soft-bristled brush, start at the bottom and slowly work your way up. It is best to care for them more than you would your own hair.
Wash With Moisturizing Hair Care Products
Wash your extensions a maximum of 3 times a week with moisturizing hair care products. Because your extensions are not getting natural oils from your scalp to keep your hair in good condition, this will keep the moisture in from shampooing while at the same time not drying them out from over-shampooing
Use a Heat Protectant
Use a heat protectant on hair extensions to reduce the risk of heat damage whenecer you use a heated appliance on your hair.
Deep Condition
Once a week, carefully put your extensions in lukewarm water and apply a bit of conditioner all over. Leave for around 20 minutes then rinse and let dry naturally – using a blow dryer will damage them if used too much. If necessary, put the dryer on a cool setting (almost as if it was wind) .
Keep Ends Trmmed
As careful as you are, your human – hair extensions will most likely get split ends. To avoid letting the damage move up the hair shaft, trim the ends every 6 – 10 weeks. You can do it yourself using salon scissors, or go to a hairstylist.

Winchester College, one of the oldest of the great public schools of England, in Winchester, Hampshire. Its formal name, St. Mary College of Winchester near Winchester, dates from 1382, when it was founded by Bishop William of Wykeham to prepare boys for his New College, Oxford, known as St. Mary College of Winchester in Oxford. The organization of the school, established as a self-governing and sovereign body, was the pattern for Henry VI's foundation at Eton College and, more generally, the pattern for other English public schools.

Brian E.wrote a review of Adidas Outdoor Terrex Fast R Hiking Shoe - Men's on June 14, 2012
So far, so good
I've been wearing these off and on for about a month. I consider them as a hybrid suitable for fast hiking/ trail running. The quality, fit, stability and traction are good for the moderate terrain I traverse. I might buy them again, but would probably opt for a couple of different shoes that target specialized activities.

This latest trailer for Guillermo Del Toro's "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" was supposedly shown during the American Idol finale last night on FOX. I didn't see it, but the studio was nice enough to make a widget of the trailer for the movie sites to distribute. Take a look at it below. More comedy, more action, and not a whole lot to scare the kiddies. Basically, if you liked the first one, you'll like the second one. If not, probably not so much.
The mythical world starts a rebellion against humanity in order to rule the Earth, so Hellboy and his team must save the world from the rebellious creatures.
Hellboy and company punches their way back to the big screen July 11, 2008.
Also, new character posters from the movie's official site.


text: Racing industry participants expressed hope Tuesday morning that a five-hour facilitated session on medication would at least serve as a starting point toward uniformity. No one expected radical changes in current policies that vary by jurisdiction in the United States.On an unusually cloudy and rainy morning in Tucson, Ariz., 31 invited representatives went behind closed doors to discuss medication use and drug-testing procedures. The meeting marked the first Racehorse Medication Summit sponsored by the American Association of Equine Practitioners.Dr. Wayne McIlwraith, former president of the AAEP, said the meeting was closed to the public so participants would feel comfortable offering their thoughts. Sally Baker, director of communications for the AAEP, said participants would be free to discuss their impressions of the meeting after the fact."There's no gag order on anybody," Baker said before the session began.Trainer John Ward, one of the invited participants, said he didn't expect the session to provide "a cure-all," though he said he was encouraged by the fact "all sides agree, save for one or two. Hopefully, we'll see a lot of strength from the owners' position, something we've never seen before."Among the owners' representatives in attendance were Gary Biszantz and Dan Metzger, chairman and president of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association, respectively; and John Van de Kamp, president of the Thoroughbred Owners of California. Last year, TOBA floated its own proposal to tighten regulation of medication in Thoroughbred racing.An open educational session before the facilitated meeting was well-attended by early arrivals at the University of Arizona Symposium on Racing, which officially kicks off Wednesday morning. The session featured presentations on testing procedures and use of medications such as clenbuterol, furosemide (Salix, formerly Lasix), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).The educational session broke no new ground, though it did raise some questions at the heart of the medication debate: Is raceday medication necessary? Which testing methods work best? Do clenbuterol and Salix affect performance in racehorses? How should NSAIDs and corticosteroids be used in racehorses?Much of the discussion centered on exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhaging, or bleeding, and how to treat it. Dr. Rick Arthur from California said all horses bleed from the lungs to one degree or another, and despite a common belief in the industry, it isn't normal. It's merely expected because of the pressure racehorses put on themselves when they compete.Dr. Cynthia Kollins-Baker of the University of California-Davis said there are myths associated with use of clenbuterol. She said evidence suggests the drug doesn't affect the performance of a horse without respiratory disease, and that post-race detection of the drug more likely results from regular use, not illegal raceday administration.Dr. Warwick Bayly of Washington State University said the effects of furosemide "are long on opinion and short on fact." He did say Salix, a diuretic, contributes to weight loss, something that shouldn't be taken lightly by the racing community."If anyone here thinks losing 10 pounds wouldn't help you exercise better, please raise your hand," Bayly said.McIlwraith, in a brief presentation on NSAIDs, said therapeutic medications are necessary, but not enough is known as to their affects on racehorses. He said the issues are when to use them and how much to give."By providing too much analgesia, do we put that horse at risk?" McIlwraith asked.The racetrack practitioners invited to the closed, facilitated session were Dr. Tom Brokken from Florida, and Dr. Milton McClure from Louisiana. Listed as "resources" were invited guests Dr. Richard Sams, a chemist from Ohio State University, and Dr. Ron Jensen, a regulatory veterinarian from California.

Belgium was neutral in 1914, but German troops invaded nonetheless. On August 4, monarchs and heads of state came together in Liege to commemorate the start of the World War One.
"Can anyone see William and Kate around here?" asks a middle-aged woman from Liege, waiting with a friend at the fence surrrounding the Allied memorial in the city's Cointe district. She's waving her camera in vain, though. The memorial ceremony marking the start of the war 100 years ago is taking place on the other side of the slender white memorial tower.
Many onlookers are keen to catch sight of the prince and his wife, who are representing Britain at the commemoration. Britain was one of the guarantor powers that were supposed to safeguard Belgium's neutrality in 1914.
The invitation to attend the main memorial service in Liege came from King Philippe of Belgium. German President Joachim Gauck was present alongside French President Francois Hollande and Spain's King Felipe.
The Belgian king thanked the Allies for their support, not only in the war itself, but also by providing for the country's starving population. "Keeping brave little Belgium alive was an unparalleled humanitarian endeavor," said the king, referring to the food deliveries that reached the country from the United States, Canada and Britain. "Today, we have achieved a united, peaceful Europe - something our grandfathers could only dream of. We must continue to work on this project," said Philippe, standing at the foot of the memorial, where the heads of state laid a wreath into which each dignitary had personally placed a white rose.
German president Joachim Gauck expressed his gratitude that he, a German, had been invited to speak in Liege. This, he said, was not something that could be taken for granted. "I thank all Belgian men and women," he said, "that after two wars, after two attacks on their country, after all the horrors and misery, they very soon afterwards reached out their hand to us in reconciliation."
Responsibility for peace
The Europe of today has become a peaceful continent, Gauck declared. From this he concluded that Europeans have a responsibility with regard to current conflicts around the world. "Peace and reconciliation is possible," he said. "A continent of enduring enmity and war after war has become a continent of peace. But witnessing this should also remind us that we have a common responsibility for the world. We cannot remain indifferent when human rights are violated, when violence is threatened or exercised. We must actively stand up for freedom and for what is right, for enlightenment, for justice and humanity."
The memorial service then concluded with the European anthem, the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, sung by a youth choir dressed all in white. The people of Liege and the general public were only able to watch the military ceremony, including performances by military bands from the Allied countries, on television.
Belgium resisted in vain
German troops crossed the Belgian frontier on August 4, 1914. The neutral country had refused to allow the Germans to march through en route to France. At that time, Liege was heavily fortified: It had a total of 12 forts. However, the Belgian army was small, and outnumbered by the German attackers.
Nonetheless, Liege surprisingly managed to resist for several days, and this is celebrated in Belgium today as a feat of heroism. The Germans deployed "Big Bertha," a cannon with a massive 42-centimeter (17-inch) caliber, and a Zeppelin for the first time, to bombard Liege prior to storming it.
At the end of August 1914, the last Belgian city, Antwerp, also fell. The German advance was only halted in western Flanders, at the little River Yser. A year of trench warfare with very heavy losses ensued between the Allies and the German troops, in the course of which poison gas was also used.
The Belgian people suffered four years of brutal German occupation. The Belgian monarch at the time was King Albert, a relative of the German Kaiser who was attacking his country. Albert led the remaining Belgian troops himself into battle in western Flanders, and for this he is still revered in Belgium today. The Belgian historian Herbert Ruland told DW: "This defense was very decisive; it essentially secured the continued existence of the Belgian state."
In the afternoon, German President Joachim Gauck visited the city of Leuven, where German troops once set fire to the irreplaceable university library. In late August 1914, a large part of the medieval town was destroyed by the occupying forces in retaliation for alleged attacks by Belgian irregular troops.
Commemorative fete - and iced coffee
On the Place Saint-Lambert in front of the former prince-archbishop's palace, the City of Liege had installed large columns bearing the inscription "Peace" in many different languages. Information boards and works of art recalled the events of a century ago. Period music and fashion shows aimed to recreate the atmosphere of life in Liege the summer before the outbreak of war.
Here, too, Belgians and tourists had an opportunity to catch sight of the Belgian monarch. Philippe appeared on the balcony of the palace in the afternoon - but without William and Kate. The photogenic members of the British royal family had already traveled on to Mons to commemorate the war dead at a cemetery there.
Near the Place Saint-Lambert, Thierry Marée is serving the world-famous specialty known as café liegeois to customers in his café: iced coffee, flavored with vanilla. The people of Liege have a story to tell about this. Up until the outbreak of war in 1914, this drink was still known in Belgium and France as "Viennese coffee." But because Austria was a German ally, no one wanted anything more to do with it, and the restaurant owners abruptly replaced the Austrian capital with Liege. The new name stuck - and has remained unchanged now for 100 years.
With Monday marking the 100th year since the outbreak of World War I, DW remembers five non-European aspects of a war that reached around the globe. (04.08.2014)
On the 4th August 1914, Britain declared war on Germany and the First World War began in earnest. It drew in people from every continent, killing millions and bringing down empires. But did we learn our lesson? (04.08.2014)

James Fox playing Paul McCartney, Michael Gagliano as John Lennon, George Harrison look and sound-a-like John Brosnan, and Ben Cullingworth, also known as Ringo Starr, impressed with renditions of I Saw Her Standing There, I Feel Fine and Help.
They also caused a stir as they stopped traffic to cross Commercial Road in the iconic Abbey Road style and recreated several poses from 1963 when The Beatles appeared at the then Gaumont for gathered photographers.
James Fox, who appeared on the BBC's Fame Academy and represented the UK at The Eurovision Song Contest before playing McCartney, told the Daily Echo: "It shouldn't really be a West End show, but it is.
"It's brilliant. People keep coming back, the music's great and the production values are so high. I think it's even better on the road because rather than mainly tourists, these are the people who actually bought the records, and we thrive on their energy."
John Brosnan, the band's lead guitarist and George Harrison character, added: "This show has to be as good as it is to have survived this long in London. It works well and it's great to take it to different cities."
n Let It Be is a spectacular concert show featuring more than 40 of the band's greatest hits. It's at the Mayflower Theatre from May 12 to 17. Tickets are on sale now from mayflower.org.uk or 023 8071 1811.

MECCA, TEXAS. Mecca is on Farm Road 978 ten miles west of Madisonville in northwestern Madison County. It was founded about 1850 in what was then northern Grimes County and is one of the oldest settlements in Madison County. In 1894 a post office was established there, and in 1896 the town had a general store, a two-teacher school with an enrollment of thirty-four, and an estimated population of thirty. The post office was discontinued in 1907 and was replaced by mail delivery over a rural route from Normangee. The first telephone in the community was installed at the general store in 1912. During the early 1900s the town had a drugstore, a barbershop, a millinery shop, a blacksmith shop, two cotton gins, and a gristmill. Its population was an estimated fifty in 1933. In 1935 the local three-room schoolhouse held classes with three teachers and thirty-seven white pupils; at that time most of the thirty-seven black pupils in the Mecca school district attended Chapel Hill School, three miles southeast. During the early 1940s the Mecca School was consolidated with the North Zulch Independent School District. Deceased Mecca residents were interred in cemeteries in neighboring townships such as Tenmile and Rock Prairie. In 1948 the community population was still estimated at fifty, served by one business. During the early 1990s the largest local employer was the Knight Quarter Horse Ranch. The town reported a population of forty-eight in 2000.

Re: Constipation ugh!
For sure try to eat more fibre and becareful which fibre you take cause well for me atleast a certain type of fibre makes my stomach bloat up to kingdom come. Try metamucil or Restrolax to get regular again or atleast help soften the stool. I actually take peppermint oil which helps, also yogurt can help as well as it is a good priobotic that can help your stomach. Peppermint oil is really good in that it also helps with bloating and stomach pain. Have you seen a psychiatrist about your anxiety? Anxiety can greatly effect how your body feels and stress as well. I also have gerd/ibs among.. well everything else lol and had extreme social anxiety that was really bad, I actually did cognitive behaviour therapy and it helped me alot! Do you take anything for your ibs/gerd? Also watch what foods you eat, alot of fatty foods/caffeine can be brutal to your stomach. Unfortunately with IBS all you can do is really help yourself, doctors can't do alot for you but prescribe pills that may or may not help you. Having a food diary and maybe a stress diary could help. IBS can contribute to your anxiety and vice versa.

Album Rating: 4.0They don't compress their music in mixing as much as every other metal band. So naturally there's gonna be a wider dynamic in the album. It doesn't bother me like Steven Wilson's albums do, though xD
Album Rating: 3.0Less compression is a good thing
Album Rating: 3.5yeah but i think the sound was a lot better on their last album, much wider soundscape and still pretty dynamic and not overly compressed
Album Rating: 4.0Not sure how much anybody cares but I've noticed a lot of lyrics span across their discography (apart from all the space/Europa stuff), in Hara he definitely says "Lift the copper from the eyes / Lift the silver from the tongue" which I just noticed as a nice little play on the opening lyrics of Lift part 1. These guys have always been pretty cryptic about their lyrical content which has gotten me quite engaged in making these connections and stuff, its pretty cool to just suddenly come to realizations like this while re-listening to Wake/Lift out of the blue. Digging the album a lot.
Album Rating: 3.0no, not better than deafheaven. this release just makes me love galilean so much more.
damn i'm like the only one who is like about to 4.5 this damn
Album Rating: 3.5no EUROPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 2/5
Album Rating: 3.5not weird music 2/5
Digging: Summoning - With Doom We Come
Album Rating: 4.0Fuck might brin this up back to a 4.5.
Also good one on noticing that Sunborn, the lyric line I notice the most is the release, revolve, renew combination present in Wake/Lift, ADOM and maybe TGS but not sure; would like to have the lyrics for this album as I loved the ones one TGS and W/L
Album Rating: 4.0Yeah, I noticed that release/revolve/renew comes up on TMA-3 too, and So Warm A Solitude shares a lot of its lyrics with Ryu which is pretty cool too. I recall them saing that the lyrics for this are coming with the physical release so I'm pretty stoked on that.
Album Rating: 4.0Users saying this wont be a thing in a week are fucked. This is growing with every listen.
Album Rating: 3.0I dig the clean vocals they use.
Album Rating: 4.0Yeah can't wait for the physical release, I'll have the lyrics right on time for when I'll see them in November
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offwasnt physical release only in Europe or something?
if so that would suck, i own everything else theyve made :/
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffThis grows until you listen to ADOM or TGS again.
Album Rating: 4.0Physical cd's will be in Europe, but in the U.S vinyl versions are planned if they get enough funds. Also this is better than ADOM by a short straw
Nice avatar.
Ryu, Myo and Oku live are amazing songs, Armine definitly isn't tired of making music
Digging: Mamaleek - Via Dolorosa
Nah dude, this pretty much sucks, but band was sweet before
Digging: Tetragrammacide - Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix
Met Armine on Saturday at Damnation Festival and bought this on physical disc from him. He's a cool guy and they played a great set to a very decently sized crowd.
Whilst this is no TGS or Wake/Lift, it sure is a grower.

Gauteng opposition parties have nothing to offer - so says Premier David Makhura.
On Friday, Makhura came out guns blazing in the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, attacking the opposition, particularly the DA, for apparently failing to "dispute" the success of the ANC during his tenure as premier of the province.
He was replying to some of the criticisms levelled against him by the main opposition of the EFF, DA and Freedom Front Plus, who described his government as a failure, saying he had failed the people of Gauteng by not scrapping e-tolls.
According to Makhura, apart from the criticism about e-tolls, the parties have failed to provide an alternative to his State of the Province address (Sopa). "Listening to the debate in the house, I could hear that there are those who are bitter when Gauteng is working better and turning around. There are those who worry that when the people are optimistic and the mood is positive, their political careers will be fading.
"They ignore facts and data - favour political hyperbole and ideological prejudice. They are worried that if they seek truth from facts, they will betray their parties," he said.
He maintained his party was in possession of a plan aimed at dealing with the challenges facing Gauteng, particularly poverty and unemployment.
Among the opposition, Inkatha Freedom Party's sole member of the Gauteng legislature, Bonginkosi Dlamini, was the only one who survived Makhura's onslaught.
Makhura extended an olive branch promising to rope him in when addressing the housing crisis facing the former hostel dwellers.
DA's Jack Bloom and party leader John Moodey were firmly in Makhura's cross-hairs.
On Thursday, Bloom insinuated that Paul Mashatile would never bring change in the government and that irked Makhura.
"Bloom, your approach to political debate places you in the same ranks of the EFF. You may not like them, but objectively, you behave like them - insulting and personally attacking your opponents without dealing with real issues.
"You attack MEC Mashatile. You resort to rumour and gossip, the pastime of mean-spirited and little people. You resort to petty, pedantic and pedestrian polemics and hyperbole, because you are small in vision," he said.
He was equally harsh against Moodey saying his contribution was uninspiring and lacklustre.
"I thought a leader of your standing and stature would honestly acknowledge the objective and evidential progress we have made in job creation; township economy revitalisation and giving the youth hope through Tshepo 500."
Makhura sought to create wedges in the DA leadership, saying he thought Mike Moriarty would have done a better job.
"I missed Moriarty in the debate. He offers more incisive and well-thought-out criticism. Even if I may not agree with him," Makhura said.
The EFF, despite the shenanigans, was praised. Makhura praised EFF provincial leader Mandisa Mashego for bringing the plight of steelworkers to the attention of government.
"Mashego, I take the point you made about the need to intervene and protect our steel industry due to its catalytic role in industrialisation."

Review for Attachment Parenting International Inc, Bristol, TN, USA
API was the answer to my prayers. After the birth of my son, my preconceptions of "the way it was going to be" were shattered. My family, nor my medical team was offering me advice or support that felt right for my family. I was searching for help when I found API. Real, relevant parenting advice. Support, camaraderie. It was all here.

The Texans look significantly different under new coach Bill O'Brien.
They're also practicing different.
Previous coach Gary Kubiak ran efficient, structured practices that sometimes lacked intensity. O'Brien has intentionally raised the Texans' tempo since taking over, attempting to bring a game-like feel to offseason activities.
"I think it's really important … because the game is played at such a fast pace," O'Brien said Tuesday at NRG Stadium. "I'm not talking about running a lot of plays. I'm just talking about the pace of the game. … We've got to be ready for that tempo."
O'Brien acknowledged real game situations can't be fully replicated during practice and pumped-up music can only do so much. But as his view of tempo has evolved, dating back to his time with the New England Patriots, the first-year NFL coach has become a believer in intentionally speeding up and altering practice speed to prepare for games.
"We were a huddle team in New England. … But the last few years I was there we incorporated more no huddle and different tempos of no huddle," said O'Brien, whose up-tempo system at Penn State was "loved" by the Nittany Lions' players.
J.J. Watt was part of Kubiak's Texans and Tuesday was his first OTA under the up-tempo O'Brien.
"We are definitely moving faster," Watt said.

The Kinnarps group has always shown a high level of environmental concern. It is part of a corporate culture that has been cultivated ever since founder Jarl Andersson used to make furniture at his own workbench.
We are travelling east from Gothenburg.At the pretty town of Ulricehamn that rises up on the eastern heights of Lake Åsunden, we turn left off Highway 40. Our journey then continues northwards along the leafy Ätrastigen (Ätran trail), or Redväg (Riding Route) as it was called when it was one of Sweden's most important routes for horse-drawn and foot traffic. This is where Swedish and Danish armies had clashed in the course of history.The River Ätran flows along the route – at times untamed and vigorous, at times calm and still. Many of the names of the places that we pass through are reminders of the past, and there are ancient remains going back to the Stone Age. After driving a couple of miles through the fertile Swedish countryside we arrive at Kinnarp- Slutarp; previously two little villages, which is now a small community of some 1300 inhabitants. Here – amidst cultivated fields, woods and the Ätran flowing just around the corner – is Kinnarps' main office as well as one of its three factories.This is where all the company's furniture is developed, manufactured and tested. It's also the workplace of Tomas Ekström, Director of Quality and Environment at the Kinnarps group. "It's obvious that these surroundings affect my work as an environmental manager.Seeing cows grazing and fields being ploughed and hearing birds chirping outside your office window really brings home to you the significance and impact of your work. I'm sure everyone who works here feels that way.We understand the importance of a living countryside and unpolluted nature for both personal reasons and for humanity as a whole. Kinnarps, founded 65 years ago by Jarl and Evy Andersson, has played an important part in Sweden'sdevelopment from a farming society to an industrial nation.
But the company is also an industry and business pioneer in terms of environmental responsibility.With its origin in the rich soil of Västra Götalandprovince, Kinnarps has anatural environmental concern that has employed careful stewardship of resources from the outset. At the end of the 1950s, for instance, we already began to pack our furniture in blankets that were reused after each delivery.We did this at a time when many believed that disposable packaging and natural resources were inexhaustible.At an early stage, Evy and Jarl also understood the commercial, practical and environmental benefits of delivering direct to the customer and cutting out the middlemen.That's why the furniture bus became a familiar sight for customers throughout Sweden after 1959. Kinnarps used it to deliver furniture directly to customers, planning the return route to pick up as many raw materials and return deliveries as possible.And that's still done today, except that the bus has been replaced by more modern forms of transport. Today it's called transport and packaging logistics,whereas then it was plain common sense.We are now also one of a few companies in the sector – perhaps even the only one – who is EMASregistered. Kinnarps is dedicated to an approach in which environmental thinking and business go hand in hand. If environmental investments pay off in both the short and long terms, they can be quickly implemented and everyone is keen to follow them up.
A good example is when we started in 1977 to chip and compress all our burnable waste into fuel briquettes that we burned in our own incinerators. Today we use them to heat our factories, adjacent industries, the town's school, sports hall, bank, retirement home and many private homes in Kinnarp. If they had all been heated with oil instead, they would have consumed 2400m3 of it. So nature escapes being polluted by a whole lot of carbon dioxide. The carbon footprint is certainly a very important topic for Kinnarps. Tomas thinks we need to find a balance between business aspects, our daily environmental work, long-term planning and a visionary approach. Not everyone can have a longterm perspective,but everyone can make a contribution in daily life. Kinnarps' most effective tool to reduce the greenhouse effect in its daily work is optimal productdevelopment, which means less material consumption, higher utilisation levels, more recycled material and above all furniture with a long life in terms of product quality, form and function. "In contrast to many of our competitors, we at Kinnarps have taken the strategic decision not to practice carbon offsetting merely to say we are carbon neutral.
Our profound conviction is that our own awareness grows and the environment benefits much more by investing in measures that reduce emissions." To describe Kinnarps' environmental concerns while ignoring its ideas of integrated solutions and responsibility would be to skip over the most important aspects. For Kinnarps is one of few players in the industry to assume responsibility for everything from raw materials and production to the delivery and installation of complete furnishing solutions. For our customers this means that Kinnarps can tell them where the material in its furniture comes from, how it handles waste or how much its trucks carry – three key factors that impact the environment. "Yes, to have control over the entire chain as we do is certainly a significant part of our environmental work. So we can guarantee that all our wood comes from carefully monitored or certified forests. But responsibility for the whole picture also allows us to exert greater pressure on our suppliers than many others in the industry." Reuse and recycling are self-evident watchwords at Kinnarps. An example is Kinnarps in England who cooperate with the Green Standards organisation that promotes corporate social responsibility. Via Green Standards, Kinnarps donates used furniture to educational projects in several African countries. "That's what it ultimately boils down to, the manufacture of high-quality products. Good products are used for a long time and can almost always be reused.A disposable approach has always been alien to Kinnarps," concludes Tomas.Anders Nygren
We believe in making life better at work. At kinnarps, we do more than just sell furniture. With products and services to match your needs, we deliver inspiring and effective workspace solutions to help your organisation prosper.

I am trying to send a DIME Attachment as a HTTP POST using the libcurl. I using this to communicate with a SOAP API. All my other function work properly but I find the correct way to send a file as a DIME attachment.
Direct Internet Message Encapsulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Which basically says it's 10 year old dead technology originally supported by only one manufacturer, and never had an RFC.
So it's no surprise that curl doesn't support it.
It would appear that Amazon Web Services is still using it for their SOAP API (see PutObject - Amazon Simple Storage Service)
Is there any other library that might support this?Quote:
The PutObject operation adds an object to a bucket. The data for the object is attached as a DIME attachment.
To ensure an object is not corrupted over the network, you can calculate the MD5 of an object, PUT it to Amazon S3, and compare the returned Etag to the calculated MD5 value.
If an object already exists in a bucket, the new object will overwrite it because Amazon S3 stores the last write request. However, Amazon S3 is a distributed system. If Amazon S3receives multiple write requests for the same object nearly simultaneously, all of the objects might be stored, even though only one wins in the end. Amazon S3 does not provide object locking; if you need this, make sure to build it into your application layer.
It would be worth asking Amazon then, what their supported toolkits and frameworks are.
I imagine all sorts of people are using this, and don't give a monkey's that DIME is working underneath whatever abstraction they're using.
You can do the DIME encapsulation yourself, and just hand it off as a prepackaged tur.. chunk to libcurl.
In other words, it boils down to first generating the binary DIME data. Then, set the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE option to the number of bytes. Write a helper function to provide the DIME data, and tell libcurl about it by setting the CURLOPT_READFUNCTION option. See CURLOPT_POST for more details and explanations. Simply put, your helper function will provide all the POST data, containing the binary DIME attachment only, and that's it; you must not set any CURLOPTS_POSTFIELDS (except to NULL).
As to generating the DIME binary data chunk itself, the last IETF draft should contain all you need, but I personally would not bother. Sooner or later you'll have to switch to standard formats anyway.

Four young girls have been announched to share the title role in Matilda when the musical begins its Broadway run this spring. Sophia Gennusa, Oona Laurence, Bailey Ryon and Milly Shaprio will alternate in the role of the brainy youngster. Previews for the show begin March 4, 2013 at the Shubert Theatre, with opening night set for April 2013.
Matilda marks the Broadway debut for all four actresses. Gennusa has appeared in The Nutcracker at Purchase College Conservatory of Dance. Laurence appeared opposite F. Murray Abraham and Ralph Maccio in the film A Little Game. Ryon starred as Cindy-Lou Who in the national tour of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Shapiro has appeared in regional productions of Annie, Les Miserables and Gypsy.
As previously announced original West End star Bertie Carvel will reprise his role as menacing head mistress Miss Trunchbull for the Broadway production. No further casting has been announced at this time.
Matilda is the story of an extraordinary little girl who decides that, despite a bad upbringing filled with rotten parents, a terrifying school and a vicious head mistress, her story is going to be an astonishing one. With the help of her teacher, friends and a little bit of imagination, Matilda proves that even if you're little, you can do big things. Based on the Roald Dahl novel of the same name, the musical features a book by Dennis Kelly and music and lyrics by Tim Minchin.
