In these days of digital linkages that span the globe that make it possible to share opinions and actions with thousands of "friends" whom we've never met, and won't, it has been refreshing to follow local engineer Steve Harris' recent lunchtime tour built on a short email list of recipients. The intent might have been the same, but the scale could not have been more different. For Harris, the meetings were in person and the geography limited.
Harris put together an email list of two dozen friends and acquaintances, a list that could grow and shrink depending on interests, and periodically alerted them to when and where he was planning to have lunch. There was no particular schedule – it was when Harris felt like it – but the locations for the lunches were critical. Harris and the recipients of his email, when it fit their schedule, lunched at 47 different locations between 5th and 12th streets and Second Avenue and the railroad tracks. The sequence was up one side of the street and down the other, in order of address.
The menu was what was next in line, not "I feel like sushi today" or "let's have a burger next time."
Harris just completed his lunching odyssey, and wrote about it in a letter that appeared in yesterday's Durango Herald.
Harris has said he was never certain who would show up, or how large a table would be needed, but he always enjoyed the interaction with those who participated. And he was impressed by the number of places to eat within those several blocks.
Facebook has its place, but we also like this example of a close-in application based on a simpler linkage. Steve Harris is imaginative.

Support » Themes and Templates » get header_image attachment id
5 years, 2 months ago
Hi there,
I am wondering if there is an easy function call to get the id of the custom header image. The only functions I can see available are header_image and get_header_image, both of which return the url only.
If not, is the best way really to query the database by the url, such as is suggested in this thread?
Thanks for the help!

Still gotta shop? Get great holiday gift ideas from Best Buy! @BestBuy #HintingSeason
Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a "sponsored post." The company who sponsored it compensated me via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value to write it. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
With just a few more days to shop for Christmas, the pressure is on. I join the ranks of those last minute finishers, wrapping gifts into the early morning hours of Christmas Day. With almost 70 classroom favors made, batches of fudge, candies, and cookies ready to go, I still have tons of things to do. To get my shopping done, I need expert service and unbeatable prices and I know exactly where to go! Best Buy has the top gifts that are on my list and here's why they should be on yours:
What is Xbox One? The perfect family gift.
Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. With the best exclusive titles (Halo, Sunset Overdrive), the biggest blockbusters (Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty) the hottest sports franchises (Madden 15, FIFA 15, NBA 2K15) and top family titles (Fantasia: Music Evolved, Just Dance 15, Skylanders) Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level. Xbox One is the place for games.
In addition to being a great gaming console, Xbox one connects consumers unlike any other device. Xbox One enables access to the latest TV shows and movies through your favorite apps. With Xbox One all of your media is at your fingertips when you want it. This is the perfect family gift. With games and movies available for all age groups and player levels, everyone in our family has this at the top of their wishlist!
What is JBL? The answer to bickering over play lists.
No doubt you've heard about wireless Bluetooth speakers. I know 2 out of my 3 daughters have. They have been begging, pleading for the JBL Charge 2. Being able to have up to 3 different users take turns on one speaker is helpful! I want the JBL Reflect Earbud headphones…a pair for each of my girls and for my sanity.
JBL Charge 2– Between the twin passive radiators for deep bass, the massive 6000mAh battery and the hands-free conference speakerphone the key benefit is the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows up to three different users to take their turns to play their own playlists on a single speaker.
JBL Flip 2– Aside from the dual performance-tuned JBL drivers and a built-in bass port, the key benefit of the JBL Flip 2 is the SoundClear echo and noise cancellation combined with the state-of the art microphone system to pick up calls on the speaker.
JBL Reflect Earbud headphones– Sweat proof ergonomic design. With a 5 hour rechargeable battery and a reach of about 40 feet, the JBL Reflect BT's key benefit is the design of the ergonomic eartips along with the built-in magnets which keep your buds on standby without loose cables.
Ready to travel with GPS? Get a Garmin or TomTom!
Featuring Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling, traffic and weather update, you'll also enjoy Lane assist, Lifetime traffic and map updates. And, it even has Voice Recognition Technology. My husband drives out of state all the time for work and this is the perfect gift for him and me. Giving him the ability to get there and back faster and easier means we'll get him home quicker and longer! Choose from two different Garmins or the TomTom Go 50S.
· Garmin 52LM
o 5.0" display
o Maps of 49 U.S. states, plus lifetime map updates1
o Lane assist with junction view
o Displays speed limit and accurate arrival time

DT Social: Heralding Fashion Week with Debbie Harry
While Fashion Week may be coming to a close, we ought to recoxgnize the related events that thrilled the city the week before-specifically the pre-Fashion Week party hosted by Soho club W.i.P., which featured a performance from the legendary Debbie Harry of Blondie.
The night began with Nick Zinner, guitarist for The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and honorary DJ for the evening, whose set got everyone in the room moving. Harry made it on stage a bit after midnight and performed a total of two songs, neither of which were her own, leaving before her adoring audience felt they had heard enough. Disappointing? Yes, not to mention confusing-but we savored the remainder of the evening just the same.

Should I replace my DVD drive?
When do you think is a good time to replace your DVD drive. For example, when trying to rip a CD to FLAC, using advanced processes and checks, often there are no problems. However, recently, in very rare cases, the drive has trouble with 1 or two tracks that my laptop rips with ease.
Does this mean that the drive is starting to go? Additionally, I barely use this drive. I think I use it a few times a year.
The drive is an ASUS.
|My System Specs
|13 Aug 2013
That doesn't sound like a drive problem. I've seen that with the discs themselves and not the drive. I have a recording studio and do a lot of recording for singers with Karaoke CD's. Its usually a dirty CD that is the culprit.
Some drives are more sensitive to dirty discs than others and maybe the difference. But, drives are cheap and you can get a replacement for about $25 at www.newegg.com

All CD/R disks aren't created equal, some brands are better, some make good coasters. I've had good luck with Memorex and Sony for two.

Strange, as Memorex is the brand we saw most of the problems with on the Dell forums. It is one brand that I tell my clients not to use.

TDK was another brand that seemed OK too. I have had some Memorex ones fail too though.

I actually purchased a new Asus DVD drive and it was still having the same problems depending on the CD I wanted to rip. I returned that one and purchased a Lite-On instead. Boy does this thing do a much better job! Less insecure rips using DBPoweramp. There's still an occasional enhanced cd that has a problem, but it seems that this drive has less problems ripping music discs.

Ghost of Kinde Durkee still haunting PACs - The no-longer-super PACs of the Republican primary - Retailers hit Hill with taxation, cybersecurity message
With Abby Phillip
PI SCOOP … GHOST OF KINDE DURKEE STILL HAUNTING PACs: Even as Democratic political operative Kinde Durkee is facing up to 14 years in prison ( http://politi.co/HnfDIB) for embezzlement and fraud, she technically remains the treasurer of record for nearly two-dozen federal political action committees, a PI analysis of federal records indicates. They range from the fairly notable — the San Diego PAC leadership PAC of Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.) — to various small-time, California-based committees. Most of them reported three, four or five-figure amounts of money remaining in their accounts in their most recent disclosure reports — mostly filed last year by Durkee herself.
Story Continued Below
For the Technology Leadership Political Action Committee, which reported $13,482 cash on hand in its most recent report, officials say they've replaced Durkee as the PAC's treasurer, but didn't file the proper federal paperwork to make it official. "It was an oversight on our part, and we'll get it straightened out," Executive Director Tim Jemal said. Durkee, he noted, "has crippled our operation, and it's put our organization and many others in a very difficult position. … We're hoping to move beyond this soon."
Chris Robson, a chairman of the Yes We Can Democratic Club, explained that a new PAC treasurer set to replace Durkee may have also filed incomplete paperwork the FEC, meaning Durkee remains the group's treasurer.
Orange County (Calif.) Democratic Party Chairman Nick Anas tells PI that the Orange County Victory Fund PAC, another PAC that still lists Durkee as its treasurer, is also struggling to get beyond Durkee's serial theft. "Overall, I think we're going to be OK. But people are really burned out right now," Anas said. "There was just an automatic trust many PACs had with her. But people are now doing much more research and using best practices to determine a treasurer."
Filner's office did not return calls seeking comment on the status of Durkee has his leadership PAC's treasurer.
THE NO-LONGER-SUPER PACS OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY: The battle royal among super PACs that supported specific Republican presidential candidates is, like the primary race itself, is now effectively a two super PAC affair. Since the Louisiana primary Saturday, the pro- Mitt Romney super PAC Restore Our Future has made about $2.24 million in independent expenditures, all of which have funded anti-Rick Santorum advertisements and communications, federal records show. Meanwhile, the pro-Santorum super PAC Red White and Blue Fund has made nearly $500,000 worth of anti-Romney independent expenditures.
Missing from this list? The pro- Newt Gingrich super PAC Winning Our Future, which hasn't spent a dime on independent expenditures since Louisiana, and just $50,000 since March 11. The vast majority of its $871,000 worth of independent expenditures this month came on or before March 6, when Gingrich was battling for wins in the Super Tuesday states. Also in the zero column since Saturday: the pro- Ron Paul super PAC Endorse Liberty, which has spent less than $32,000 in support of Paul for the month.
RETAILERS HIT HILL WITH TAXATION, CYBERSECURITY MESSAGE: Executives from companies including Macy's, BrandsMart and Tractor Supply are hitting Capitol Hill to press lawmakers on corporate tax rate reform, cybersecurity legislation, health care reform and labor regulation. Among the exec's 20 or so Hill meetings: Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) and Steve Chabot (R-Ohio). Senior committee staff from the House Ways and Means Committee and Senate Finance Committee also briefed the group, a PI tipster tells us. The visits coincide with a D.C. meeting of the National Retail Federation Policy Council, of which the execs are members.
A revved-up Thursday to you, PI faithful, as it was on this day just three short years ago that General Motors Chairman and Chief Executive Rick Wagoner resigned at the behest of the Obama administration. In that year, 2009, GM federal lobbying expenditures, which peaked in 2007 at nearly $14.3 million, dropped to a near-decade annual low of $8.4 million as the government bailed out the auto giant with tens of billions of taxpayer dollars. Since then, federal records show, the company's government affairs efforts have rebounded, with GM spending $9.57 million on federal lobbying in 2010 and almost $11 million in 2011.

ERVIN | HILL HIRES FORMER COCA-COLA GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS LEAD: The government affairs and public relations firm Ervin | Hill Strategy has hired Barclay Resler, who launched Coca-Cola's D.C. government relations office, as vice president of public affairs. In an interview with PI this morning, Resler says he's relishing the challenge of working with a diverse client base and on a variety of issues across several industries — a departure from his 31 years at Coca-Cola. "My learning curve is going to be quick. It's exciting to be on the edge, so to speak," Resler said.
Firm President Dan Hill says Resler will work with the firm's defense, aerospace and technology clients, as well as those who are U.S. subsidiaries of foreign corporations. "It's a real win for us getting him — bringing Barclay on is a big help for … achieving our goals," Hill said. Asked how big a difference Resler will have on the firm's bottom line, Hill joked, "It better be a big one."
BRUNING CANCELS BIG MONEY EVENT: A tipster tells PI that Nebraska Attorney General and Republican Senate candidate Jon Bruning, in town for the Supreme Court hearings, unexpectedly canceled a high-dollar Washington fundraiser scheduled for Wednesday night. Tickets to the event at the home of former Ambassador Julie Finley were set at $1,000 or $2,500 a head. Co-hosts included Kirk Blalock of Fierce Isakowitz & Blalock, Bobbie Kilberg, president and CEO of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, real estate developer Bob Pence and his wife Suzy, George Vradenburg and Edwin Williamson. No word from the campaign on why the fundraiser was scrubbed.
'CALIFORNICATION' FOR UDALL? Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is turning to deep-pocketed Red Hot Chili Peppers fans at an upcoming fundraiser. Udall will rock it out with the band's fans — and his supporters — during their May 10 concert at the Verizon Center. Barry LaSala of Elmendorf Ryan, and Brian Rice, director of federal regulatory affairs for Verizon, will co-host. You can snag a ticket for $1,000, or host for $2,500.
EMPLOYER MANDATE UNDER FIRE: Don't expect the wait for the Supreme Court's ruling on President Barack Obama's health care law to stop attempts to repeal unpopular provisions. In fact, dovetailing this week's court hearings, the Council for Affordable Health Coverage is leading an effort to repeal the bill's employer mandate. Member organizations include the International Franchise Association, the National Association of Manufacturers, the National Retail Federation, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Retail Industry Leaders Association, and the National Association for the Self Employed. In a letter to Rep. Charles Boustany (R-La.) today, members of the coalition endorsed his legislation, the American Job Protection Act, which aims to repeal the mandate's penalties on employers. Here's the letter: http://bit.ly/GXR7eF
SCHUMER, TESTER CASH IN AT FUNDRAISER FILLED WITH BIG NAMES: Jonathan Mantz, former finance director for Hillary Clinton who now works for BGR Government Relations, hosted a joint fundraiser Wednesday night for Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) at Schumer's favorite Hill eatery, Hunan Dynasty. Co-hosts included former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), Denny Miller and Bill Burke.
KENNEDY DRAWS MEMBERS: Massachusetts Democratic congressional candidate Joe Kennedy held a slew of fundraisers in town Wednesday, but attendees at at least one of the events got more than they paid for. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) made an impromptu stop at Capitol Counsel's David Jones's house, according to a PI tipster. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) also stopped by — after Kennedy had left. "It was a great show — better than Van Halen," according to the tipster.
DISCLOSE ACT REDUX: Senate Rules Committee Chairman Schumer led a hearing Thursday on Democrats' latest bid to tighten campaign finance rules in the wake of the landmark 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, reports our own Robin Bravender, who attended. But the arguments were nothing new, as Democrats complained about shadowy outside groups and Republicans accused their colleagues of trying to thwart free speech. The Democratic half of the FEC's six-person commissioner slate — Ellen Weintraub, Cynthia Bauerly and Steven Walther — were in the audience.

Retailers You Can Trust!
Fur Free Retailers is an initiative of the Fur Free Alliance that Respect for Animals runs in the UK.
Currently, real fur does not have to be labeled as such so it is down to the consumer to decide if an item they are buying contains fake or real fur. This can be very difficult to judge given the quality of some fake furs. Shop staff are often in the same position so can only provide an opinion rather than an assurance that the item is not real fur.
The following retailers have committed in writing to the Fur Free Retailer programme meaning they only sell fake fur. By signing onto the programme, these retailers have proven that they are socially responsible and that they care about animals.

The holiday season can be a challenge if you are trying to control your weight. But, you can overcome many of these challenges with good self-management tools, according to Dr. Andrew Philip, a health psychologist for the Deployment Health Clinical Center.
Holiday eating is responsible for much of the weight people gain over the year. Studies show that while individuals tend to only gain 1-2 pounds over the holiday season, that extra weight tends to stay with them and accumulate over the years.
"Staving off holiday gains is easier than trying to lose them later," Philip said.
During the holidays, people tend to buy foods that are higher in sugar and fats than at other times of the year. Mood can also affect eating decisions, especially during the pressures of the holidays. Stress can cause the body to store greater levels of fat.
"When we are under stress our bodies actually crave foods higher in sugar and fat, and on top of this, stress worsens our self-control," Philip said.
Philip suggested five strategies for keeping weight off during the holidays:
- Manage food intake. Eating fewer treats is usually easier than trying to burn extra calories through exercise. Avoid skipping regular meals or trying to fast, as this may lead to greater hunger and overeating later. Minimize drinking alcohol, as most alcoholic drinks are high in calories. Alcohol may also lower your inhibition to resist unhealthy food.
- Increase physical activity. Active people tend to gain less weight over the holidays. Activities such as group walks with the family can help work fitness and quality time with loved ones into a busy schedule. Activity may also reduce stress, which in turn lowers the risk of overeating.
- Have a plan for the holidays.
- Be prepared with a polite way to decline extra helpings of food or unnecessary sweets.
- Take part in planning and preparing holiday meals to ensure healthy dishes are available.
- Before a big meal, have a healthy snack to manage your appetite.
- Avoid "to-go" plates, which can result in extra meals.
- Go over all options at buffets before filling your plate. Try to fill at least half your plate with vegetables and high-fiber foods. Avoid casseroles, which may contain hidden butter, mayonnaise, or cream.
- Get enough sleep. Sleeping too little tends to result in increased weight gain. Getting more sleep on a regular basis may also suppress genetic tendencies toward weight gain. Regular sleep can reduce stress and make it easier to manage your mood.Sleep tips can help make getting rest easier.
- Manage stress. Be mindful about signs of stress, and avoid eating unplanned meals while stressed.Several stress apps exist to help you during the holidays.
Visit the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury blog to learn more about managing stress, sleep and food. For more tips on eating during the holidays, check out this blog post from health.mil on mindful eating.

The complete guide to going from relaxed to natural hair
Let's be honest, transitioning can be a frustrating process. If you're interested in going natural, your damaged hair will have to recover, and this book will help guide you through the process.
Many women are deciding to embrace their natural hair because they're tired of the damage, costs, and upkeep that it takes to have relaxed and straight hair.
I'm glad that you decided to go on this natural hair journey, but it will be a journey for sure. You have to learn to be patient and work with your hair. The process will go much smoother if you know what to expect and how to treat your hair correctly.
I started my journey about three years ago, and when I decided to go natural, I had to go through the transition phase. It was a struggle, but it was well worth it because I didn't want to do the big chop.
Now my hair is mainly one texture, and I'm full-blown natural and loving it! Believe me, the big chop is not necessary. There's a lot to learn.
Here's a preview of what you'll learn:

- Single room
- Convenient location
- Share with other students & local residents
- En-suite or shared bathroom
- Many restaurants and shops close by
Whether after a homestay or for your entire stay, LTL also provides the option of a shared apartment. Depending on preference and availability, the apartment may be shared with other foreign students or local residents. Apartments are conveniently located for traveling to the school (four subway stops) and offer the opportunity to make new friends in Beijing.
All shared apartment rooms are single rooms offering some privacy in one of the most populous cities in the world. The rooms have a desk to study at outside of school and are well heated in the winter and are all equipped with air conditioning for the summer. For most students we would recommend the large room option, where you have your own private bathroom and a very spacious room. Students eat at one of the main restaurants or the university canteen nearby, where a meal usually costs about 10 CNY (1.2 USD).
A five minute walk from the next subway station, there is a supermarket in the complex and an abundance of food options including many student friendly restaurants in the area and the two university cafeterias.

Large Room China Media University

Apartments are four subway stops or about 30 minute travel time away from the LTL campus, located in the Central Business District. The cost per subway ride is 2 RMB (approx. 0.3 USD). The best room in the apartment, it includes an en-suite bathroom, large bay window in a very spacious room.
Small Room China Media University
A small room with window in a shared apartment next to the China Media University is great value, flexible in duration, local student quality and one of the most affordable accommodation options available in Beijing. The bathroom is shared with up to six other people, usually other international and Chinese students.

I am staying in a small room (shared bathroom), in an apartment shared with four local Chinese and another LTL student. The apartment is clean, it takes me about half an hour to get to the school and I really like that the heating is very good during winter. There is a supermarket downstairs from the flat and for someone looking for a clean and basic place that offers flexible arrival/departure dates at a very attractive price in Beijing, I think there is no better choice.
– Daveline, Switzerland
I was very happy with my large room in the shared apartment. The room is very spacious, the bathroom clean and the internet worked well. There is a very convenient supermarket just downstairs from the building, with a small bakery which made shopping for groceries easy. I found the quality of the accommodation very good compared to other similarly priced options in Beijing.

What is the difference between the Small Room and the Large Room?
The large room is very spacious, has a private bathroom, big bay window and always comes with a double bed.
The small room has a normal size window, single or double bed and the bathroom is shared. All rooms come with central heating in the winter and the option to switch on the air-con in the summer.
Are the Shared Apartments located close to the school?
The shared apartments are right next to the subway (Chinese Media and Communication University on the Batong Line). From there it is four stops to the school. Usually it takes about 30 minutes to get to the school.
What if I have a problem in the apartments? Whom do I call?
The Shared Apartment are managed by a Chinese couple who live in the complex themselves. You will meet them when you first move into your room and their contact information is in the pre-arrival information you will receive from LTL before you start your course. If you have any questions the best thing is to talk to them directly as they can help you to fix things immediately. If you need further help, speak to your student advisor at LTL and we will speak to them for you.
Is it possible to stay extra nights in the apartment if I arrive earlier than Sunday or depart later than Saturday?
It is no problem to arrive a few days earlier or leave later, talk to your student advisor to book the room for that extra period. Based on our experience, we do recommend students to arrive on the Sunday before their course starts though.
How many roommates will I have? Are they Chinese/foreigners/LTL students?
There are usually three small and one large rooms in each apartment. You will live together with either locals or other LTL students. Most local Chinese who live in the apartments are students at the Chinese Media and Communication University next door.
Is the Shared Apartment a good way to immerse yourself in Chinese, talking to my roommates?
It all depends on how outgoing you are and how you get on with your flatmates. However, in our experience Chinese students tend to not interact that much with people they share an apartment with. If you are looking to make Chinese friends, practice your Mandarin and be immersed into a Chinese language environment, a homestay might be more suitable. A connection kit would also help.
What if I wish to cook my own meals? Is there a kitchen?
In China eating out is very cheap, which is why even university students do not cook at home. Students usually eat in the university cafeteria next door or eat at one of the many restaurants next to the complex. A tasty local meal will cost anything between one and three USD, while cooking Chinese food is often a very smelly and messy affaire, while cooking western food can be very expensive as the ingredients have to be imported. So while all apartments have a kitchen, people are not supposed to use them for cooking to avoid smell and hygiene problems.
Is there WiFi, central heating, an air conditioner and washing machine?
All rooms have central heating and free WiFi. Please note that the internet in China can be slower than what you might be used to from home. If you want to use the air-con, there is an additional 400CNY/month charge. All rooms have access to a washing machine which you can use free of charge.
What if I don't like my room/apartment/roommates? Can I change a room?
While this rarely happens, if you really do not like your apartment, you can change it. Let LTL know and as soon as another room is available you can move.
Are there bed sheets/towels? Does someone clean the apartment before I move in/ on a regular basis?
Bed sheets are provided and the apartments are cleaned before you move there, however please keep in mind that these apartments are mainly for local Chinese students – it is not a five star hotel. Towels you can buy cheaply in the supermarket in the compound after you arrived in Beijing.
What if I cannot talk to the landlord? Will the LTL staff help me?
Like everywhere in China, the landlady and most of your flatmates will speak very little English. If you need help with translations, the LTL team can of course help you.
Are there other facilities around the Shared Apartments, like a supermarket or restaurants?
The area is very convenient for both shopping and eating. There is a supermarket in the apartment complex and plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. You will receive some tips on what to do in the area from LTL with your pre-arrival information.
How do I get to the school on the first day?
On the first day you can either travel with other LTL students together to the school or take the subway to the school yourself. You will receive a description of how to get to the school and map with your pre-arrival information.

After having it on my to-buy list for a couple of years I finally went ahead and got the Epson R2880. The initial reason I wanted one was to print better quality digital negatives for my Vandyke brown process (see http://blog.theodoorthomas.com/van-dyke-brown-part1/). However I did a couple of really nice shoots in the past month so I thought why not actually make a really nice black and white print on proper paper and see what I could end up with. A quick trip to the photography store where I went completely nuts and bought 10 sheets of Ilford Gold Fiber Silk A3+ paper, which set me back about 50 bucks. You might think that just going to a lab and having them print your image is way cheaper, and you would be right, however in my experience they usually don't manage to make proper black and white prints. When you do have a lab that's able to do so you usually want them to print samples first and then decide. That means a lot of driving to and fro and still not really being in control of the process. In short I much prefer to just do it all myself. So with my nice box of paper under my arm I headed home. I spend a week looking at my photos deciding which would be best to print. While processing photos in the back of my mind I dove into books and posts to figure out how to get the most out of the printer but also how to not waste a piece of paper that costs 5 bucks. In the end I went with the experience I have printing negatives and the ICC paper profile from Ilford. I double checked my print for details that might not be so obvious on screen but would stick out like a sore thumb on a print. I zoomed in at a 100% print size and went over the photo inch by inch. We're talking here about a 21 megapixel file at 300dpi so I took my time doing this. After I was satisfied with all the details I did some extra sharpening and decided to open up a levels adjustment layer in photoshop and set my black out put to 5 instead of zero. Now this isn't strictly necessary when working with profiles but this image has a lot of blacks in it and I felt that on semi glossy reflective material the blacks at this level would be black enough. Alright next step. I loaded up the color profile from the Ilford site into photoshop, I'm not going into the details on that as the documentation on the Ilford site is perfect and the ICC profiles are very easy to find, kudos to Ilford on that one. So here we go. I always resize my prints myself and never let the printer software do it, I'd recommend that you do the same. Often times it's best to let your printer manage color but using the Gold Fiber Silk profile I didn't go that route this time. I let photoshop manage color, and selected the Ilford Gold Fiber Silk profile from the drop down list. Next step was to set color matching to Relative and of course, send 16-bit data to the printer. I generally avoid printing in 8-bit mode, I feel it's much safer for nice gradations when you just opt for 16-bit. If you have the information why throw it away, right? Alright, next step is to also in your printer configure dialog to setup photoshop to manage colors (anything but colorsync). When you accidentally forget this photoshop will detect that you fumbled up your color settings so don't worry. Now this is very important, printing on fiber paper even if it isn't glossy it's very important to:
- Have your photo black cartridge loaded (you can exchange them as long as you put the cartridge you removed in a sealed plastique bag).
- Set the paper type in the printer config to Epson Premium Glossy.
Really make sure that you have those 2 points setup correctly. Okay moving on to things-I-do-because-they-make-me-feel-good. While still being in the printer dialog I set the Epson R2880 to print with Super Photo 5760dpi (so highest quality). Then I switch off fast printing, almost everyone leaves this switch on, however I'm not in a hurry and I like to give the ink some extra time to dry before it roles out, dust is our mortal enemy in printing. So last step is to clean my printer and the space around it with a very soft lightly moist cloth to remove any dust that might fall onto my print (yeah I know I go a bit nuts, but I have had instances where I had to reprint because of this). So after hitting print it was waiting for the first stroke of the print to pop out so I could judge it. If I don't like what I see I can hit cancel and save ink, the rest of the paper I would then use to test print settings. However in this case that wasn't necessary at all, I could immediately see that the blacks were really black and didn't have any color fringing going on when gradating to lighter grays. With the biggest smile on my face I just waited for the rest of the print to finish. Am I such a brilliant printer? No, I'm not. Without getting any money from Ilford for saying this, but the reason I got such a wonderful print on the first go is because they did their work properly! Ilford provides seriously perfect color profiles for their papers and there's nothing in my article about printing to it that you can't read in their documentation. In short they did a really superb job. And of course the lovely Epson R2880 with Epsons K3 inks. Especially for the money they go for these days you just can't go wrong with it.

The First Tee of Denver is a nonprofit group that has primary focus on education for the youth of the community. They adequately engage participants through summer programs as well as several school related curriculum throughout the school year. I can relate first hand to the beneficial experiences The First Tee gave me. After the first encounter with this nonprofit was brilliant and I just kept coming back. I believe the most powerful asset The First Tee has is the enthusiastic, charismatic, passionate individuals who are involved with the goals they are accomplishing. They care and believe in what they are doing which is a very powerful statement for this great nonprofit.
Participating as a volunteer has been very rewarding. Members of the First Tee staff are terrific and demonstrate a love for the students as well as the game of golf. I have helped with homework, read books, built golf clubs, and introduced students to the fundamentals and etiquette of golf. Each session is well structured and students are taught important decision making, listening, and life skills. I feel lucky to have the chance to escape the stresses of the day and spend time with the students. They truly have blessed my life. I recommend the First Tee of Denver without reservation.
I have been involved with the First Tee of Denver for eight years. I started out as a participant in their 'Girls Night Out' Class then moved up to being a member of the 'Players Club'. I am now a Mentor over the summer and volunteer with the Read N Swing program during the school year. The First Tee of Denver has played a huge role in who I am today and who I hope to be in the future. The program's nine core values are some of my most prized qualities, and are the reason that I continue to succeed in school and other aspects of my life. The organization also helped me develop my future plans of being a teacher. Through personal experience it has become clear to me that the First Tee of Denver truly cares about all of their participants.

With so many projects incorporating light and sound, Scotiabank Nuit Blanche is turning out to be an all-night rock concert on Oct. 2. Whether you have one hour or 12, here are our suggestions on how to get the most out of this year's contemporary art fest:
For the 5 à 7 set
You've just had dinner and you need to be in bed by nine. But you still want to make an appearance.
To maximize your hour or two, start at
Nathan Phillips Square(100 Queen St. W.) where renowned guitarist and music producer
Daniel Lanoiswill be waiting for you with a "forest of sonics and visuals."
His project,
Later That Night at the Drive-In, involves 24 speaker stacks and 12 screens. "When I was 16 years old, I went to the CNE and they had a multi-speaker installation. It was like the electronic, psychedelic music of the time. The speakers were overhead. Wherever you went in this massive room, you got good sound. I thought, 'One day, I would like to do this.' So we're doing it in Toronto," Lanois, 58, says.
For another interpretation of sight and sound, cross the street to
Old City Hall(entrance on Albert Street) where
Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and his wife Leah Singer's piece involves a collage of images on projection screens and live performance. If the lineups to see it are anything like the queues for washrooms at Lollapalooza, move on to
Yonge-Dundas Square.
British artist Ryan Gander is setting up a
massive bonfirein the famous square. The project is entitled J
ust because you can feel it, doesn't mean it's there. But you'll feel it. Pyrotechnicians will be fuelling it with firewood throughout the night. "You'll have different sight lines," curator Sarah Robayo Sheridan says. "I bet you there's a great view of it from the Hard Rock Cafe."
When you're sufficiently warm, walk to the
Citytv and Omni Television studios(33 Dundas St. E.) where two
opera singers will serenade you with Bruce Springsteensongs (
Allegory for a Rock Operaby Torontonian Derek Liddington).
Born in the U.S.A.sung in Italian may be the best lullaby you've ever heard.
Finally, on the way home, text the word "energy" to 667242 and keep an eye on the
CN Tower. "For every text message we get, we add a bit of energy to the system," artist Dave Colangelo, 28, says. "The tower will then become a reflection of the city's energy that night. The more people who are texting in, the faster and brighter the lights will be on the tower. I'm hoping people will really get a sense of being part of a larger community."
For those ready to rock
You're set to mosh for four or five hours with a million art admirers.
Start with a gentle piece at the
Royal Conservatory of Music(273 Bloor St. W.). There, architect Philip Beesley has created a suspended work of art with light-weight vertical cables and electronic sensors that are "organized a bit like a coral reef."
"[Viewers] will see
a cloud of cablesoverhead, running throughout the atrium, that contain thousands of tiny lights and vibrating frond-like feathers that will be sending shivering impulses and flashes of light," Beesley explains. "The work will know where you are and react to you."
Next, head to the
Royal Ontario Museum. In the lobby,
XXIXfeatures video of
29 singers performing in 29 languages. Don't forget to check out the virtual figures projected onto the canted walls of the museum's crystal façade on the way inside.
"Nuit Blanche is such a huge and celebratory experience, I wanted to maximize the effect of people seeing the work. This way, people can just come and get the experience," curator Gerald McMaster says.
Across the street at
Gardiner Museum(111 Queen's Park), poet and performer Heather Hermant and glass artist Melina Young invite you to
contribute to their glass installation: Write a piece of poetry on glass tiles or rearrange the pieces on a glowing table.
To get the blood flowing, visit
The Atrium on Bay(40 Dundas St. W.) for a
dance lessonwith the purveyors of Dances With Strangers before moving on south. "It'll be kind of a 12-hour endurance performance for the artist," curator Anthony Kiendl says.
The party continues at
King and Yongestreets with clowns. Max Streicher has
inflated giant clown headsin between two buildings. "One of the things that interests me is the ambiguous relationship that we have with clowns. We expect them to be funny but a lot of people are afraid of them," the 52-year-old artist says about
Endgame (Coulrophobia), which can be found in an alleyway between 67 and 69 Yonge St. "It's sort of revenge on the clowns. It's like their antics have gone wrong, and they're getting what they deserve."
End your evening in
The Distillery District, which has 10 different independent projects including interactive worm-shaped robots and a bronze African elephant. The highlight will be
The River Peace, which involves dancers, musicians and
1,500 feet of bubble wrap stretching through the historic lane ways. Viewers are invited to move through the sculpture and light it up with their cellphones. Who doesn't love bubble wrap?
For those partying till the break of dawn
You're hardcore. (And caffeinated!)
Start north and work your way south.
Lower Bay Stationwill be transformed into an interactive landscape of light. Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde creates
bushes of fibres that light up in reaction to motion and sound. It's like walking by the plants in Avatar. "It's this corridor of these wands on either side. I think it'll be a cerebral and poetic experience. It'll be quite a spiritual and uplifting moment," McMaster says.
On the way to Yonge, admire
Monument to Smile, a
mosaic of smiling peopleprojected on to the façade of the
Holt Renfrew Centreto the music of Charlie Chaplin, and then
wave at strangers on the other side of the worldthrough
Odd Spaces(19 Bloor St. W.), a real-time installation that connects viewers with people in Karachi, Pakistan. "Another culture and another space. They'll be looking back and seeing how crazy we are. I think people will get a kick out of that," McMaster says.
At some point, you'll need to refuel, so visit
Nuit Market Starring the Toronto Weston Flea Market(Victoria Street Lane). The
Asian-inspired marketwill have food for sale, along with accessories and jewellery. You'll find a hookah bar and a henna artist. "There's a kind of whimsical, utopian aspect to it," says Darren O'Donnell, artistic director of Mammalian Diving Reflex. In 2006, he filled a gymnasium with thousands of rubber balls for Nuit Blanche.
"We have an interest in activating public space in ways that can almost be seen as urban planning proposals. The other aspect is the vendors at those kinds of markets are not the kind of people who generally participate in all-night contemporary art events. How do you engage non-artists? How do you work with them as collaborators?"
Check in at
Arrivals/Departures(40 King St. W.) where
volunteers will ask the audience questions— where have you come from, what do you want? — and write the answers on blackboards. Then check the time:
The Endless Pace(25 King St. W.) uses
60 dancers to mimic the face of a clock.
If you're starting to feel a bit delirious from the sleep deprivation, it's the perfect time for a singalong. Head to
TIFF Bell Lightbox(350 King St. W.) for
Singin' in the Dark. (At this point, you'll have missed the family-friendly stuff, which ends at midnight.) Before you leave the building, relive the days of staying up all night playing
arcade consoles with Arcadian Renaissance. No quarters needed.
If you can make it west to the
Gladstone Hotel(1214 Queen St. W.), several installations and performances will be inside and outside the historic building, including Dawn Matheson's musical treat. She will broadcast
recordings of random Ontario residents singing in the showerfrom the second floor balcony. It could be the last thing you hear before you hit the sack: a Bob Marley medley sung by a 70-year-old surgeon.
For party poopers staying at home, follow
National Postreporters throughout the night via Twitter:

ANKARA, Turkey – The United States and Israel have rejected statements by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who compared Zionism to fascism at a U.N. meeting aiming to promote dialogue between all faiths.
Speaking in Vienna this week, Erdogan said Islamophobia ought to be considered a crime against humanity "just like Zionism, anti-Semitism and fascism."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sharply condemned the statement late Thursday calling it "dark and mendacious."
U.S. National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor said the characterization was "offensive and wrong" and said people of all religions should "denounce hateful actions and overcome ... differences."
U.S. State Secretary John Kerry is expected to raise the issue when he meets with Erdogan and other Turkish leaders in Ankara on Friday.
Erdogan's ruling party has roots in Turkey's Islamic movement.

Film #2
"Meek's Cutoff"
This film is not plot driven per se but follows this group of settlers as they try to survive the wilderness, the Natives, and each other. There are three women, all of whom wear the clothes of the period, full length dresses and bonnets each of a different color. They are really identified by their dress color. Each has their own unique voice and personality as their physical features are usually covered. They are all married and are dutiful wives. Michelle Williams plays Emily Tetherow the strongest willed of the women. She can handle a musket and isn't afraid to use it. The other women are also strong but in a more subdued way. The men lead this convoy on their never ending search for fresh water. It's never really clear were they're going, but they are always moving forward.
While out scouting for water Meek and another man capture a native and interrogate him. Demanding that he lead them to water. Unable to bridge the communication gap they take him as a prisoner. Always under the threat of an ambush the group is extremely suspicious of him. When they contemplate killing him Emily steps in and saves his native ass. This film is about the human spirit and the will to survive under tough circumstances. It's also a complex drama about people having to work together to achieve a bigger goal, all while being set in early American life The ending is rather abrupt and offers no easy answers. This movie didn't get a wide theatrical release and played mostly at film festival and art house theatres, but now with the power of Netflix you can watch it instantly or buy the DVD released by Oscilloscope.

Beyonce certainly does rule the world. Queen B appears on the cover of, the fashion bible that is, Vogue magazine and look stunning. Although Bey's been more open about her pregnancy with daughter Blue Ivy, she opens up a bit more with the magazine as she discuss her labor and finally becoming a mom.
"I felt very maternal around eight months," she remembers. "And I thought I couldn't become any more until I saw the baby. . . . But it happened during my labor because I had a very strong connection with my child. I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain. . . . We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication."
On giving birth, "My family and my closest people were there when I gave birth," she says. "Everything that scared me just was not present in that room. So for me to really let go and really appreciate every contraction . . . it was the best day of my life."
On her daughter she adds, "She's my road dog," Beyoncé says. "She's my homey, my best friend."
On her family, ""I feel like I have something that has grounded me so much more," she says. "Family has always been important. I've always had my mother and my father and my husband. But it's just. . . ." She pauses. "Life is so much more than. . . It's not defined by any of this."
The first time she opens up about separating from her father as her manager. "My soul has been tarnished…My father taught me so much about being a businesswoman," she says. "And I'm understanding him a lot now. . . . A lot of the crazy things he did were necessary."
She also reveals that after all these years being in the spotlight and performing shakes her up. "I'm still completely nervous…I still feel pressure."
And on the upcoming fifth solo album, "I'm going to be tweaking," she says, smiling. "I still have things to figure out."
Here are the photos of her Vogue photo shoot.
Just stunning!
Head over to Vogue for more on Beyonce's exclusive interview.

c-Jun is an AP-1 transcription factor and implicated in many aspects of cellular functions, but its exact role in the regulation of early intestinal epithelial restitution after injury remains largely unknown. Phospholipase C-γ1 (PLCγ1) catalyzes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 biphosphate into the second messenger diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate, and coordinates Ca2+ stores mobilization, and regulates cell migration and proliferation in response to stress. Here we reported that c-Jun up-regulates PLCγ1 expression and enhances PLCγ1-induced Ca2+ signaling, thus promoting intestinal epithelial restitution after wounding. Ectopically expressed c-Jun increased PLCγ1 expression at the transcription level and this stimulation is mediated by directly interacting with AP-1- and C/EBP-binding sites that are located at proximal region of the PLCγ1 promoter. Increased levels of PLCγ1 by c-Jun elevated cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration and stimulated intestinal epithelial cell migration over the denuded area after wounding. The c-Jun-mediated PLCγ1/Ca2+ signal also plays an important role in polyamine-induced cell migration after wounding, since increased c-Jun rescued Ca2+ influx and cell migration in polyamine-deficient cells. These findings indicate that c-Jun induces PLCγ1 expression transcriptionally and enhances rapid epithelial restitution after injury by activating Ca2+ signal.

Asenapine, brand name Saphris, is a sublingual tablet that is FDA labeled for the treatment of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Like most antipsychotics, the exact mechanism of action is unknown, just that it acts on dopamine receptors in the brain. Findling and colleagues preformed a double-blind placebo controlled study in which they studied the use of asenapine for the treatment of manic or mixed episode bipolar disorders in children aged 10 to 17 years old. The doses included placebo 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg twice daily and they were distributed to the patients in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. 403 patients were included in the study, so about 101 patients received each dose. The results were measured based on the Young-mania rating scale (YMRS). The YMRS is a rating scale based on the patient's subjective view of his or her manic symptoms in the last 48 hours. The YMRS was assessed after 21 days of the assigned medication strength.
The average YMRS rating is 12 and the results showed that after the 21 days the average difference in YMRS for those with the placebo controlled versus the asenapine doses were -3.2 for the 2.5 mg, -5.3 for the 5.0 mg, and -6.2 for the 10 mg. In contrast to the average improvement in the YMRS, there was significantly more adverse effects experienced by those taking the asenapine doses. These adverse effects include somnolence, sedation, increased appetite, weight gain, and increased fasting blood glucose levels. The researchers also looked at the presence of ADHD and if the symptoms were changed, which they were not.
The researchers concluded that asenapine is superior to the placebo with the improvement of YMRS scores and was very well tolerated, even with the increase in side effects.
This is really interesting, and relevant to our learning in top drugs currently. This is not one of the antipsychotics we are learning about specifically, but its really interesting to see actual data for the use of an antipsychotic, especially on kids. I wonder if there have been studies done that look to see if antipsychotics affect the brain development of these children as they grow.

Welcome to the world of Root & Star, the magazine for the WHOLE child—the wise, the wild, the strange, & the sweet.
We bring heartfelt literature and art to children all year long. Hooray!
In our eighth issue, we explore the theme of collecting.
Do you feel that tension of wanting to have your house magazine-ready while your children want to hold onto every old toothbrush and button and box? This magazine is not the kind that minds a few collections! We ask these questions:
What do fairies carry in a seedpod purse?
If you sing to the ground, do the crocus bulbs hear you?
How can you become a rabbit just by looking at one?
What can hearts learn from long spoons?
Where is the broken bracelet from Paris?
Where is it? Where?
Issue 8 includes amazing work by the best talent and heart we know, including: e.e. cummings, Stephanie Dosen, David Gregal Jr., Christine Hartzler, Ernst Haeckel, Craig Hofheimer, Melissa Kaseman, Lida Larina, Courtney Mandryk, Erik Mattijssen, Bethann Garramon Merkle, Preeta Samarasan, Lindsay Shaffer, Becca Stadtlander, Page Turner, and Walt Whitman.
40 full-color pages of beauty and life.
The target audience for each magazine is children ages 2–8, or children who are being read to and/or are just learning to read—but because children are never far from their siblings and caregivers, we created a magazine that can be enjoyed by all ages, from 1 to 100.
Root & Star is published six times per year. Join us with one issue, or SUBSCRIBE here!
