Installation, Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
In this installation, General Idea deliberately transformed the painting Love (1966) by American Pop artist Robert Indiana. The concept of this work was first conceived for the 1987 Art Against AIDS exhibition in New York City. During the 1980s most art about AIDS was focused on the suffering of individuals and the lack of attention the crisis received from health care systems and governments. General Idea transformed Indiana's work into an AIDS logo, and, like the original piece, General Idea's logo was reproduced everywhere, from posters to paintings to the huge display board in Times Square. As a commentary on the complexity and individual nature of the issues surrounding the AIDS epidemic, the WAG piece is a precursor to the collective's work from the early 1990s, all of which dealt with AIDS in a non-polemical and non-defining manner.

New England Patriots Tickets
New England Patriots Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Patriots players are still probably wondering why the Seahawks passed on the final drive of last year's Super bowl. But hey, they aren't complaining. In route to winning the franchise's fourth championship, the Patriots knocked off the Ravens, Colts and Seahawks. The maestro, Bill Belichick, was at it again last year pushing all of the right buttons. With his fourth title, Tom Brady has undoubtedly supplanted himself as of the one of the best quarterback of all-time. Of course, it is impossible to mention the Patriots without mentioning Deflategate. Controversy surrounding the team's actions has seen Tom Brady receive a four-game suspension from the league. While it is still up in the air whether the suspension will be reduced at all, the Patriots will likely be without their star QB for a little chunk of the season. It won't be surprising to anyone if Belichick figures out a way to win even without Brady. Stay tuned for more Patriots news as it breaks. Get the best seats in the house with Gold Coast Tickets!

In 1977 while hanging out with some friends in Philly, I inadvertantly left my camera at an outdoor lunch joint near Second and South. Having shared a few bottles of Merlot (to wash down the double cheese steaks with onions and mushrooms) I hadn't realized the camera was missing until later in the evening and by then, I figured I was out of luck.

Five cannons were raised Oct. 28 from the Queen Anne�s Revenge shipwreck site at Beaufort Inlet, the most recovered at one time from the wreck considered to be the pirate Blackbeard�s flagship.
BEAUFORT � A small arsenal of guns covered the deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Smilax on Oct. 28 after a mission that seized a few pieces of history.
Five cannons were raised Oct. 28 from the Queen Anne�s Revenge shipwreck site at Beaufort Inlet, the most recovered at one time from the wreck considered to be the pirate Blackbeard�s flagship.
�Today is definitely a red-letter day: five guns coming off the site,� said David Moore, who has been a member of the QAR team since recovery efforts began.
The five concretion-covered cast iron cannons averaged about 2,000 pounds each and are among the largest of the guns recovered from the shipwreck site. They fired six-pound cannons and were used in defense of the Queen Anne�s Revenge, which sank after running aground nearly 300 years ago.
The QAR team of researchers has identified nearly 30 cannons at the site and the ship may have had as many as 40 heavy cannons on it when it sank.
With the five raised Monday, 22 cannons have been recovered from the site.
The recovery Monday was the last opportunity for bringing up the artifacts with this week�s close of the 2013 fall dive expedition at the shipwreck site. For the heavy lifting, the crew of the Smilax stepped in to raise each cannon out of the water and onto its deck, where they were readied for transport to the QAR conservation lab in Greenville.
The Fort Macon-based Smilax is the oldest ship in Coast Guard service and holds the title of Queen of the Fleet.
Smilax Commanding Officer Scott McAloon said Monday�s mission was a unique opportunity to see history recovered from the ocean and for the Coast Guard to partner with other agencies to accomplish the project.
�It�s a great day for North Carolina and a great day for the Coast Guard to have this opportunity,� he said.
For Kimberly Kenyon, who began working at the QAR lab as a conservator earlier this year, it was her first trip to see cannons raised from the site.
�It�s exciting to be dealing with something so historic and significant. It�s a big day for North Carolina,� she said.
In addition to the cannons raised, two large concretions were raised Monday that include cask hoops and other artifacts.
Earlier in the fall dive, two smaller cannons were raised. Kenyon said several timbers, including a 7-foot piece of the ship, were also recovered.
As the fall dive came to a close, the QAR team remained optimistic that full recovery will be possible next year.
�We�re going to continue excavating the site and have it completed by 2014,� Project Director Billy Ray Morris said.
An extensive Queen Anne�s Revenge exhibit can be seen at the N.C. Maritime Museum in Beaufort, the official repository for artifacts from the QAR site.

I was approached today by a woman who asked if I could help her with some Greek immigrants. The contract would have been exceptional, and I could certainly have used the money!
But I turned her down.
Oh, not because I wanted to!
Before beginning any research project, I always do a preliminary search to make sure I am going to be able to give my client "something", even if just a quick reference, on their family. Unfortunately, for this client, I met only brick walls from every angle I took!
However, I did steer her to APG [Association of Professional Genealogists] to look for a specialist in immigrations. Hopefully there she will be able to get the assistance she needs.
I mention all of this because of one thing: there are some very unscrupulous persons out there who like to pose themselves as genealogists, and who really only attempt to perform the work for one reason. The money. [Believe me, the money is not that good! There are many more financially lucrative occupations out there!] These nefarious individuals take a clients money and promise them whatever the client wants to hear. And then never come through with the promised goods.
I assisted one woman recently who had spent over $5,000 just to receive her own research back. [You got it! The "genealogist", found the client's family tree posted online, copied it, word for word, and then sent it to her. No sources, bibliography, or professional report. Just the tree.] In order to prove to her that we weren't all in it for a "killing", I offered her the first 10 hours of my research project for free. Her first words after seeing those 10 hours were, "You gave me proof of everything you said!" That's me!!!
If I can't find any information for my client, I absolutely refuse to charge them. And if I find someone who has been treated wrongly by a so called genealogist, I will always offer them some research for free [not always 10-hours! usually 2-4 hours].
The point is, if you love this work, treat it like you love it! Treat your clients with the utmost respect and compassion. Chances are, they are wanting the research done because of some life altering experience [unfortunately, it seems following the death of a loved one is the most prevalent time to want to perform it, seconded only to the birth of a new child].
If you can't perform the work, tell your client so, and then steer them toward someone who can do it! Never leave them alone in their dilemma!
I always tell my clients that the door is always open, and they are free to contact me at any time. Please do the same.
If you love genealogy and it's your passion, be passionate about it!
Until next time!

Three elections after the Iraq invasion, many lawmakers are experiencing the drumbeats of war for the first time.
The push for a congressional vote ahead of any military strike in Syria is being spearheaded largely by lawmakers who were not in Congress during the run-up to the war in Iraq.
As of Wednesday, Republican Rep. Scott Rigell had collected the signatures of 140 House members demanding that President Obama call Congress back into session to vote before launching an offensive in Syria. And roughly three-quarters of the signers, including Rigell himself, a former Marine elected in 2010 who represents the military-heavy area around Norfolk, Va., came to Congress after the Iraq war had begun. More still had arrived after the Iraq war resolution passed in late 2002.
The same is also true in the Senate, where first-term senators have been among the loudest voices pushing for explicit congressional authorization.
Much of the Congress has turned over since the early 2003 invasion of Iraq, with three wave elections in 2006, 2008, and 2010 sweeping away lawmakers and redistricting eliminating the seats of still others in 2012.
Only 32 current senators served in 2002 during the fall vote on the Iraq war resolution and only 38 were there when American troops launched the invasion in the spring of 2003. In the House, roughly 40 percent of current members -- 172 of them -- were sworn in at the time of the 2003 invasion.
That means that, for many in the current Congress, this is the first time they've experienced the drumbeats of war, outside of the strikes that Obama authorized against Libya earlier in his presidency. And instead of marching in line, the fresh faces are among those most loudly demanding a public debate.
"The U.S. should not take military action without congressional authorization," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said this week.
"When and if President Obama makes a decision on Syria, he must immediately call a special session of Congress and persuade the American people that what he proposes is critical to the defense of our nation," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, added.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Thursday on CNN's New Day that "getting congressional approval is in my view constitutionally required. "
Kaine, Murphy, and Cruz are all Senate freshmen.
When Obama was running for president, he embraced the power of Congress to authorize military strikes, telling The Boston Globe, "The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."
On Thursday, Obama called House Speaker John Boehner to brief him about the developments in Syria, and his top aides prepared to brief congressional leaders on relevant committees in the evening.
It is not clear what is causing the divide between the old guard of Congress and the new, but it is pronounced. Members who were not in Congress pre-Iraq are signing on to Rigell's letter at a faster clip.
For instance, the current chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, elected in 2004, has signed the letter calling for congressional input. In contrast, his predecessor as chairman, GOP Rep. Pete King of New York, elected in 1992, has said, "I believe the president can take this action without authorization from the Congress."

CINCINNATI: A southwest Ohio woman who says she was fired after missing three months of work as she was being treated for aggressive breast cancer has filed a lawsuit against her former employer.
Jeanine Gaver of Waynesville is accusing Digestive Specialists and her former supervisor of discriminating against her because of her illness and violating the federal Family and Medical Leave Act.
Gaver filed her lawsuit Friday in federal court in Dayton. She is seeking $1.7 million for lost wages and pain and suffering.
She says Digestive Specialists took her off health insurance and offered her a job with fewer hours when she got well enough to work after a double mastectomy. Eventually, she says she was fired.
Digestive Specialists did not immediately return calls for comment Wednesday.

American Airlines chairman, president and CEO Tom Horton and US Airways chairman and CEO Doug Parker testified Tuesday before the US Senate Judiciary Committee on the two carriers' pending merger. The questions they were asked by senators were in many ways more telling than any of the CEOs' answers.
Here were the two men primarily responsible for negotiating a merger that will create the world's largest airline. Senators could ask them anything in a setting in which honest, on-the-record answers are expected and demanded.
They could have grilled Horton over the Chapter 11 process or asked pointed questions of Parker (the tapped CEO of the "new American") on US airlines' competitive place in the world or about his public criticisms of US tax policy toward airlines. While there were some broad, boiler-plate questions about whether the merger would reduce competition in the US airline market, what did senator after senator want to know? How will the merger affect my state?
So Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) demanded to know how committed American will be to continuing to serve New York airports. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) pushed for more service at smaller Iowa airports. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) wanted to know whether US Airways no longer having its headquarters in Phoenix (the new American will be Dallas/Fort Worth based) will hurt employment and air service in Arizona.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) was curious about service to airports in the Nutmeg State. And Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was eager to tell Parker how happy he was to see him moving to Dallas. During Cruz's questioning, Horton chimed in: "I can confirm Doug does own cowboy boots. I've seen him wear them."
Anyone attending the hearing or watching the live webcast hoping for a thoughtful discussion of the broader implications of the merger, US airline industry consolidation, antitrust-immunized global alliances or how the federal government regulates airlines would have been disappointed. But I think the hearing was instructive: It plainly revealed lawmakers' main interest when it comes to commercial aviation—a global industry integral to the ebb and flow of the American and world economies—is decidedly parochial.
A number of the senators who were at the hearing are fairly prominent figures, often appearing on television to discuss a wide range of national and international issues. But when it comes to aviation, they seemed overwhelmingly interested in one thing: Getting Parker on record stating that he doesn't intend to pull flights out of specific airports in their state. Or telling Parker publicly that American should be flying to specific airports in their state.
Next time FAA reauthorization comes up and stalls in Congress, or someone wonders why US airline ownership rules are so needlessly restrictive, or why any of the recent mergers has received so little scrutiny in Washington, or why US air traffic control modernization has moved so slowly, keep this hearing in mind.
Members of Congress don't really care that much about broader public policy on aviation. They want to know whether the airport in their state or district has what they deem to be a proper level of service (and are occasionally willing to go before the cameras to express outrage over a particular fee an airline charges), but—outside of a few exceptions—that's about it.
"On Capitol Hill, all politics is still local," Aerospace Industries Association assistant VP-legislative affairs Richard Efford said earlier this month at the Aviation Forecast and Policy Summit, explaining that members of Congress are mainly interested in individual projects at airports in their state or district. "When you get away from a particular project and talk more globally about NextGen [ATC] and how much we're getting for what it costs, what I see on Capitol Hill is that members are less interested in the overall topic. They get very interested in the projects in their district."
This is not surprising or new, but it is dispiriting if you'd like to see more thought put into US aviation policy.

Mount Doom
Have you seen the multiplayer for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood? You really, really should. Yeah, sometimes it ends in a pigpile. This is what happens when you trap eight sociopaths in a murder simulator. For every pile-up like the one depicted though, every exacting period clusterfuck, the natural motion of the players in the space will provide ten utterly unique moments. At least.
I wouldn't even know what tell you about the single player. I played the last one for something like thirty hours by the end, so I clearly like the formula. Also, I like to accept missions from Pigeon coops, but I like to pretend that it's the pigeon itself giving me the mission. I like that Brotherhood begins at the very moment AC2 ends; that's honestly the extent of my knowledge. The multiplayer is too weird, novel, and engaging to reasonably allow me any other menu option.
It's a quintessentially Ubisoft maneuver, that is to say, getting high on their own supply - in callous disregard of Biggie's Ten Crack Commandments. They've made something beautiful here, beauty practically for beauty's sake, and my fear is that it's just going to languish there, unloved on the disc. This is the second time they've done something fairly radical in the wild wood that surrounds a proven franchise, which is a weird way to spend your money, God bless them for it. Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (as a competitive multiplayer proposition) quickly boiled itself down to a fairly small community, many of whom played a variant of the actual game, one that required the observance of rules by both sides that were in no way mechanically reinforced. I found the tension generated by this game intolerable, but I could (and did) watch friends play it for hours.
In many ways Brotherhood multiplayer is a spin on Assassin, a game I used to play with friends in High School, though I imagine that pretending to kill your classmates may be less of a thing these days. After choosing your player model, you drop into a few blocks of ancient city surrounded by tons of computer controlled units that look like you and your opponents. Then, you are given a target - the only enemy you can kill for points. Depending on the mode, you're probably being hunted yourself - and deflecting their unwanted attentions is also scored. Hiding in a group of similar models and having your opponent choose the wrong one - which makes them lose their contract on you, and eats up valuable scoring time - is one of this generation's must-see moments.
You start to get bery good at observing movement. If they start running around doing parkour and shit, you know, human. But if they don't? If they take their time, and manipulate the social systems? How about that guy? No not that one, that one. The one with the… Yes, the one who is now inserting a syringe filled with caustic fluid directly into my iris.
This is a big part of what constructs the overall feeling. It also works in reverse. Any other game, seeing your target in the distance is a Call To Action; in Brotherhood, the smart play is almost always Restraint. Matches aren't that long, and stalking can be time consuming - these things conspire to make kill quality vastly more important that kill volume. You unlock Ezio's Hidden Gun fairly quickly, but the points it delivers are anywhere from a fourth to sixth what you'd get respecting the aesthetics of the process.
This is one of the most exhilarating "exhibition" games in recent memory, something played to be watched, where observers have as much or more fun than the performer. Having others along with helps stoke the paranoia that fuels these rounds, and I say rounds plural, because it's entirely possible you won't be able to stop.

Carol Joe Clayton (1942 - 1953)
Carol Joe Clayton was born the day before Halloween and died on Valentine's Day.
He lived with his family next to us in the Clay Homes. He had seven or eight siblings.
Months ago I had planned on mentioning him today. He used to tell me he was born on Halloween day. And while visiting his family at the funeral home when his mother died earlier this year one of his brothers brought up the fact that Carol Joe was born on Halloween and died on Valentine's. But, as you can see, his cemetery marker plainly says he was born October the 30th, a day before Halloween.
Oh well, that is close enough.
When we were 4 or 5 years old Carol Joe enjoyed squatting and taking his dump in plain view. I have always been an early riser. One summer morning I got up before anybody else and went out to play. I didn't have shoes on. I stepped on Carol Joe's shit. I hate that feeling of stepping on human shit barefooted and it gets in between your toes.
I marched to his apartment, went in, and went back to the room he slept in with two of his brothers and woke him up and more or less pushed him outside. I showed him the the squashed shit and told him to never "dookey" in my yard again. As far as I remember he didn't.
When I was in the Navy Carol Joe was driving over one of the two covered bridges in Cobb County. He met a truck head on. It was a one lane bridge. Carol Joe was killed instantly and the bridge crumbled.
Now, there is only one covered bridge in Cobb County.

Do we need one?
On Jan 25th, 2011, the Commission adopted Long Term Evolution (LTE) as the common air interface for the nationwide interoperable broadband network for public safety in the 700 MHz band. This order also adopted a set of LTE interfaces to ensure interoperability and roaming. To this end, this item set a minimum level of requirements to establish the technology and standards on which a nationwide interoperable broadband network is to be developed. This was a significant step but certainly not the last one towards nationwide interoperability. Considerable work remains in establishing and adopting rules to ensure nationwide interoperability for this network.
In the same item, the FCC also issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that addresses a host of issues related to achieving nationwide interoperability. This includes questions about an architectural framework for the network. When we talk about architecture, it may sound like we are building a house; but in our case, this architectural framework will provide a view of the final network build out, a roadmap to signify the evolution steps for network, and the capabilities offered to users.
While this notice does not dictate network architecture, it does set the stage for ways to achieve an architectural framework by inquiring about guiding principles. Using the same house building analogy, we may not want to mandate exactly what the house should look like, but we may want in principle to ensure that it is built on one acre of land, with a kitchen, a family room, a dining room, a living room, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a basement. There will be many different ways to design a house with these characteristics, but they are all principally built based on this given data. We proposed some guiding principles for the construction of this nationwide broadband network in the notice and sought comment on many open issues. We look forward to reviewing the input on this very important issue, for what may be the very foundation of the public safety broadband network.
Join the discussion to help improve the FCC. Your suggestions, ideas and comments will be part of a public discussion that furthers FCC reform.

China Red
Fun night wth plenty of choice from the conveyor
If you are going to China Red at Edinburgh's New Market then don't expect haute cuisine Chinese food but there is a massive choice, it's fun and it is certainly good value, all you can eat for £14.99. There are also a number of seats so walk-in should not present a problem.
Seating is in booths (of four) and your food arrives via a central conveyor. There is plenty of it. Pick and choose from the hot bar or the cold one but one tip, don't sit on the inside as you are always being asked to grab a dish.
As it travels along the long conveyor it cools and that is one of my gripes as I like hot food.
However, it allows you to try dishes you would not normally pick. I went for a selection including lamb and leek and beef and black bean. Both were OK but nothing special.
The hot and sour soup will not be experienced again but chicken and sweetcorn soup was appreciated by colleagues.
The Kung Pao chicken was tasty but the suchi selection – I tried several – lacked taste, even the salmon.
As to sweets, several looked spot on but disappointed, but the three tubs of jelly (yes packed with sugar) were really tasty and the fruit – lychees and orange – was a brilliant mouth cleanser.
Another gripe, I sat on the outside and soon there was a mountain of plastic dishes to clear. Staff were slow to clear and some unable to communicate clearly about the set-up. I've still no idea if the soft drinks were part of the meal deal or not, however, that aside, it was an enjoyable evening and, in fairness, others in our party gave it the thumbs up.

County considers renting jail space
News editor
Marion County Commission Chairman Randy Dallke asked Sheriff Rob Craft on Tuesday whether it was time to think about renting space in the new county jail to other counties.
The question came after Craft told the commission that his staff is getting well accustomed to how the new facility works and that there are 10 to 15 beds empty most of the time.
Craft said he worried whether one jailer overnight would be enough to handle all that needs done if more inmates were added. Booking inmates in and bonding them out doesn't stop at the close of office hours.
Commissioners asked if the sheriff could prohibit people from bonding out late at night, except in the case of people who had just been booked. That would reduce some of the overnight workload, making a single jailer with more inmates more feasible.
Craft said he would have to check the legalities of such a plan, but if it was permissible, he could see adding up to 10 extra inmates. He would prefer including some women among additional inmates, to get more use out of the women's section of the jail. It is large enough to house eight inmates, so if there is only one woman in the jail, seven beds go unused.
The number of inmates in the jail has stayed relatively steady compared to a year ago, with 10 to 12 inmates most of the time. Booking numbers are up, Craft said, but many inmates are in and out of jail faster. Last week, 22 inmates spent time in the jail.
The commission approved the purchase of a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado for the Sheriff's Department at a cost of $23,326. The pickup will replace a patrol vehicle with about 160,000 miles on it; that vehicle will in turn be used for patrol at the reservoir during the summer, replacing a truck that is on its last legs.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick will meet the media on Wednesday for the first time since Aaron Hernandez's arrest on a murder charge and release from the Patriots, but the man who threw passes to Hernandez for three years has weighed in on Tuesday.
Tom Brady spoke to Peter King of The MMQB and his response to a question about how the Patriots offense will proceed without Hernandez in the mix is probably a pretty good indication of how things will go when Belichick steps to the podium. Brady doesn't mention Hernandez by name once, although he does make a few references to putting the best interests of the team ahead of individual agendas, and doesn't show the slightest bit of worry about not having a talented player in the lineup while focusing on winning with the people who are currently on the roster.
"I've seen a lot of things over 13 years, and what I have learned is that mental toughness and putting aside personal agendas for what's in the best interest of the team matters most," Brady said. "My job is to play quarterback, and I'm going to do that the best way I know how, because I owe that to my teammates regardless of who is out there on the field with me. I have moved on. I'm focusing on the great teammates I have who are committed to helping us win games. The only thing I care about is winning. Nothing is going to ever get in the way of that goal. I'm just excited to report to camp and see what we can accomplish as a team. The fate of our season will be determined by the players in our locker room — nothing else."
It's the response you'd expect and the only verbal one Patriots players and coaches can give about the situation in football terms. They will indeed win or lose because of the players in their locker room and repeating that as much as possible is as good a course as any to take against the questions about Hernandez that will come their way.
The actual replacement of Hernandez's production will be a little more difficult than repeating well-worn lines about only talking about the people in the room, however.

Distributing Joomla! templates
From Joomla! Documentation
If you want to distribute your extension, you will need to choose a license carefully. Read Extensions and GPL for more information.
If you want to publish your extension on the Joomla Extensions Directory, you will need to make sure your license is compatible. Make sure you've read the JED Entries License Checklist before choosing a license.
How does template installation work?
It is important to understand how template installation works.
Install via Admin Panel (packed template file)
Log into the back-end of your site (www.your-site.com/administrator/)
Click on: Extensions -> Extension Manager
You see the page "Extension Manager"
From here you can install your Templates, Plugins, Modules, Components and Languages. You have different options:
- Install from Web - to select an extension listed on the Joomla! Extension Directory
- Upload Package File - to select a package from your PC, upload and install it
- Install from Folder - to enter the path where the package is located on your webserver
- Install from URL - to enter the URL to the package
Option 4 does everything for you, your environment needs to be properly configured to allow this. Option 2 requires you to download the extension to your PC. Option 3 requires you to unzip and move the folders/files to your webserver. All options require the webserver to have write access to the webspace.
Here, we choose the second method: Upload Package File
Drag and drop file to the upload area to upload. Alternatively you can also click the button "Or browse the file" to select the package from your PC.
If the package contains no errors you are done and get a success message like the one below.
Verify installation
Go from tab 'Install' to tab 'Manage', set the 'Type' filter to 'Template'. The installed template should appear in the list. If it does, the template is properly installed. Now you can assign one of styles to a menu item or set the style as default. For administrator templates make sure you have two windows of the template manager. Activate the new template in one of them and reset it in the other one if something went wrong.
Install via FTP (unpacked template file)
Templates can also be installed via FTP without packaging them. Simply select the template folder on your PC and upload it to your server, using your favourite FTP software. Be sure you upload the template folder to the directory: /path_to_joomla/templates/ - where /path_to_joomla/ is the location of your Joomla! installation on the server. This method is mostly used when you have created a template yourself, and do not want to have to package it to install the template, or if you want to upload more than one template at once. You must then go into extension manager and click on Discover in the sub menu. Click on "Discover" in the toolbar if your template doesn't immediately appear. A list of uninstalled items in the FTP should then appear. Click the checkbox to the left of your template and click on the button 'Install'.
Note: Do not try to use FTP to install Components, Modules and Plugins if you are a beginner/novice. These items need database entries which have to be inserted manually if you bypass the package installer.
File structure for packaging
<translate> The most basic files, such as index.php, component.php, templateDetails.xml, template_thumbnail.png, favicon.ico, params.ini should be placed directly in your template folder. The most common is to place images, CSS files, JavaScript files etc in separate folders. Joomla override files must be placed in folders in the folder "html". </translate>
<translate> When making the template folder, your language files should be copied to your template folder. The ones for the front end site should be placed directly in the template folder. If you have language files for the back end, these should be placed in a folder, named for instance "admin". All the language files will be copied automatically to the right folders if stated correctly in the templateDetails.xml. </translate>
<translate> </translate>
Creating a thumbnail preview image
<translate> A thumbnail preview image should be 206 pixels in width and 150 pixels high. Recommended file format is png.</translate>
<translate> You can take a screen shot of your site/template using the key "Prnt Scrn" on Windows or the corresponding on Mac/Linux. (There are also many programs specialized in screen shots that can be used.) After making the screen shot, paste or open the picture in an image editor such as PhotoShop or Gimp and resize and crop your image to 206x150 pixels. </translate>
Packaging the template for installation
<translate> A directory with several loose files is not a convenient package for distribution. So the final step is to make a package. This is a compressed archive containing the directory structure and all the files. The package can be in ZIP format (with a .zip extension), in TAR-gzip format (with a .tar.gz extension), or in TAR-bz2 format (with a .tar.bz2 extension).</translate>
<translate> If your template is in a directory mytemplate/ then to make the package you can connect to that directory and use commands like:</translate>
- tar cvvzf ../mytemplate.tar.gz *
- zip -r ..\mytemplate.zip *.*
Note to Mac OS X users
</translate> <translate> Note to template developers using Mac OS X systems: the Finder's "compress" menu item produces a usable ZIP format package, but with one catch. It stores the files in AppleDouble format, adding extra files with names beginning with "._". Thus it adds a file named "._templateDetails.xml", which Joomla 1.5.x can sometimes misinterpret. The symptom is an error message, "XML Parsing Error at 1:1. Error 4: Empty document". The workaround is to compress from the command line, and set a shell environment variable "COPYFILE_DISABLE" to "true" before using "compress" or "tar". See the AppleDouble article for more information.</translate>
<translate> To set an environment variable on a Mac, open a terminal window and type:</translate>
export COPYFILE_DISABLE=true
<translate> Then in the same terminal window, change directories into where your template files reside and issue the zip command. For instance, if your template files have been built in a folder in your personal directory called myTemplate, then you would do the following:</translate>
cd myTemplate zip -r myTemplate.zip *

May 29, 2007
Los Angeles -- The Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA Anderson School of Management announced the winners of the 26th annual Knapp Venture Competition, held Thursday, May 24, 2007 at UCLA Anderson's Korn Hall. The competition consisted of five finalist teams that presented business plans to a judging panel of distinguished entrepreneurs and investors.
Tastination, a Web portal and tour company that helps food lovers discover ethnic cuisine in their neighborhoods, won the competition and received a grand prize of $12,500. EyeLight, Inc., a company that has developed a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of glaucoma, came in second place and received a $7000 prize. Make Believe, Ink, a retail company providing children with the opportunity to become a character in their own self-designed storybook, finished in third place and received a $5000 prize. This company was also voted the People's Choice Award winner, receiving the most audience votes for favorite venture and an additional $1000 prize.
Tastination, the first place winner, is composed of team members Joann Lofgren ('07), Saujin Yi ('07), Stan Stuka ('07) and Laura Loh ('07). The company offers restaurant tours that introduce people to new foods, while also providing a setting for socializing. Its Web portal allows users and tour customers to share their dining experiences, access recipes, locate ethnic food restaurants, and sign up for tours.
"It is extremely exciting to win, especially amongst a field of such top-notch competitors," says Tastination co-founder Joann Lofgren. "The Knapp Competition is a wonderful opportunity for students to show their work, showcase what Anderson has to offer, and have fun doing it."
EyeLight, Inc., which received second place honors, includes team members Sanjaya Mohottala ('07), Gregory Samson ('07), Scott Whitman ('08), and Michael Berlin, M.D., clinical professor with the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute. Third place winner Make Believe, Ink is comprised of Dustin Smith ('07) and Dave Hodgman ('07).
SportSpectator finished fourth and received $2000. In fifth place was Intelligence Visibility which received a $1000 prize.
The student-run Knapp Venture Competition, hosted by UCLA Anderson's Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies and the Entrepreneur Association, is designed to provide UCLA Anderson students with an intensive learning experience in the venture initiation process. Participating teams must include at least one Anderson student, but can also consist of Anderson alumni, other UCLA graduate students, and members of the L.A. business community. Many of the Knapp winning ideas evolve into successful businesses like past Knapp winner Stamps.com.
The Knapp Venture Competition is named for Bud and Betsy Knapp, whose $2 million gift to UCLA Anderson supports the annual event, as well as several other entrepreneurial initiatives. The couple also serves on UCLA Anderson's Board of Visitors.
Judges participating in this year's final round of the Knapp Venture Competition include:
Jason Cavnar, general partner, Sports Business Ventures
Annette Finsterbusch, investment manager, Applied Ventures
Randall Kaplan, founder & president, JUMP Investors
Betsy Knapp, chairman & CEO, BigPicture Investors, LLC

The partner of a Los Angeles police officer killed in a Harbor City crash was recovering at home Monday following his release from a hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a broken jaw, his captain said.
Officer Richard Medina, who had teeth knocked out in the Saturday collision with the hit-and-run driver of an SUV, was sent home Sunday. There, he was surrounded by Los Angeles Police Department officers and his family, Capt. Gerald Woodyard said.
"This guy is a tough, tough officer," Woodyard said.
Medina's partner and best friend, Officer Roberto Sanchez, was killed about 3:45 a.m. at Anaheim and Senator streets when a Chevrolet Tahoe broadsided their patrol car as the officers pursued another car.
The department was working Monday on funeral plans. The Santa Ana resident had worked for the LAPD for six years, including the last two at the Harbor Division.
Woodyard was planning to meet with Sanchez's wife of three months on Monday. He described her and her family as distraught. Family might arrive from Mexico to be with them.
Woodyard described the mood among Sanchez's colleagues at the Harbor Division as somber.
"They are distraught but resilient in that they understand this is a dangerous job," Woodyard said. Sanchez's colleagues on his shift will return to work in a couple of days. Other officers are covering for them.
"We are healing. It's a slow process," Woodyard said. "I can tell you this, Officer Sanchez has had a tremendous impact on this command. Not only his peers think highly of him but his supervisors think highly of him."
The crash remains under investigation. No arrests have been made. The officers were chasing a white Chevrolet Camaro for a traffic violation. A sport utility vehicle hit the driver's door where Sanchez was sitting when he made a U-turn to follow the Camaro.
A fund has been established for the officers. Donations may be made to either the "Blue Ribbon Trust for Roberto Sanchez" or "Blue Ribbon Trust for Richard Medina" at the Los Angeles Police Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box 10188, Van Nuys, CA 91410.

700-280 Exam Dumps
When a man and a woman first get together it can be going along nicely and as soon as things start to become a little more serious, a man can begin to pull away. This is naturally going to be confusing for the woman and may make no sense whatsoever.
And it can depend on how connected the woman felt to the man, as to how she responds to what took place. If everything was going well and there was the potential for so much more to occur, then there is higher chance that there will not only be anger and frustration, but also a sense of sadness and even loss.
It could be devastating and the consequences could be severe; especially if this is something she has experienced time and time again. A one off may be dismissed, but to continually attract a man who is unavailable could be overwhelming and hard to comprehend.
There is often said to be a whole range of reasons as to why a guy would pull away. And these can include a guy that is: not fully interested in the women, is at a stage where he is not ready to settle down or doesn't want to lose his freedom, amongst other reasons.
These can sound reasonable and may settle a women's mind. However, if they are with a man who is into them just as must as they are into him, these are unlikely to really answer a woman's questions.
As it was going well and flowing along nicely, it would be clear that the interest is there. And while the man may not be ready to settle down, if he has met someone he has clicked with, surely he would be open to going further. Certain freedoms may be lost, but other freedoms would be gained along the way.
At first these reasons might settle a woman's thoughts and emotions, but based on the human need to connect with another human being, it is often more about someone's level of emotional maturity that it is about these other reasons.
In The Beginning
From the start the man could come across as being fairly interested or he could across as being extremely into the woman. And if the man was extremely keen in the beginning, it is going to be more of a shock when he pulls away.
This could be man that is in regular contact and one who wants to spend as much time as possible with the woman and take her to places. Or in the case of a guy who is fairly interested, this might just include wanting to see her on a regular basis and to keep everything fairly consistent.
So at one moment, a woman can feel that the man is into her and everything is going so well. And the next moment, the man can become: cold, distant and completely unavailable.
Hot And Cold
While the above could be what happens, it could also be something that goes in cycles. So it is not a case of the man being available and then not being available and that's the end of it. The man could be available and then unavailable and then after a while become available again and the cycle then continues.
When this happens, a woman could end up being taken advantage of and compromising, if she hasn't got strong boundaries. The man could then be pursued and come to conclude that his behaviour is acceptable to the woman.
And if a woman is constantly attracting these kinds of men into her life, then it could be a sign of her own fear of intimacy. Consciously there may be the desire to connect with a man and to avoid being abandoned and at a deeper level; there could be a fear of being engulfed by one.
The Unavailable Man
So as he is available at first and then shortly after becomes unavailable, it is likely that he has a fear of intimacy at a deeper level. The reason he comes on so strong at first could relate to his conscious fear of being abandoned.
And as the relationship grows stronger, his deeper fear of being engulfed arises. When he pulls away and this deeper fear settles down, the fear of being abandoned can arise once more and the interest can reappear.
These fears are not necessarily problems per se, what can lead to problems are when these fears are reacted to, instead of faced, processed and healed.
One of the primary causes of this type of behaviour and these inner fears that causes it is the relationship a man had with his mother as a child. This could have been a mother that was emotional undeveloped and so used her son to take care of her own needs and wants.
And as she was not aware of her own behaviour and out of tune with her sons needs, she ended up smothering her son in the process. The son would have wanted his mother to fulfil his wants and needs, but would have feared being smothered if this took place.
Whether he got attention or not would therefore lead to the experience of pain. To be left would cause the feeling of being abandoned, but if the mother was available it would result in the feeling of being engulfed.
These inner fears are creating conflict for the man and until they become aware of them, there is unlikely to be any real change. These fears and emotions, that have remained trapped in the body since those early years, can be released with the assistance of a therapist or a healer.
When a woman feels completely comfortable with intimacy, it is unlikely that she would be attracted to a man who is not. So a woman may also have some letting go to do.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
― Maya Angelou
It's been a long time since you thought about it, you knew that your write-up would eventually see the light of day, but you still needed a little time to get started. May be you feel you are not prepared enough or you are waiting for the perfect inspiration to write. The inspiration you are seeking is already within you. It's time to unlock the writer within you. Remember, if you wait till you feel like writing, you will never write at all. Write to keep the memory, to testify, to feel lighter, to take stock ... or perhaps for all these reasons at the same time?
Write to keep the memory ... and transmit it!
Last year I met Ms. Marry, a 83-year-old woman who just published her first write-up, when asked about her motivation taking a deep breadth she replied "it's my 6-month-old grandson Alex. Like every Grandma, I want to tell him stories, share with him the family values. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time as I am suffering from some serious illness. However, my thoughts will still reach him through these write-ups". Like Ms. Marry, many want to give their children and grandchildren a record of their own lives. Conscious of the fragility of the memory, they wish to shelter it once for all and for several generations by inscribing it in blogs or in the pages of a book.
The initiative can also come from children. This is moreover the case more and more often. Realising that memory can be lost forever, they encourage their parents or even their grandparents to write their story. A nice gift idea!
Writing can also be an opportunity to portray a picture of a loved one who has gone missing too soon.
To testify
The people who write to testify are far more numerous than what we think. It is often a cry of the heart, a need, not only to tell each other, but to share the experience with the world. Most often their purpose is to denounce an injustice or, at least, what they feel is an injustice. The range of testimonies is broad enough: narrative of a battle against the administration, divorce that goes wrong, fight against the disease, etc. Fortunately, some testimonials can relate to a gay reality such as, for example, a beautiful love story or a reunion after years of separation.
Write to feel lighter
There is also the writing that liberates. The one that allows to discharge by putting on paper the thoughts and feelings that are too heavy to wear. So for some of us, writing can be a therapy.
But writing down one's story, especially if it's tragic, takes courage. It means plunging back into the torrent of past pain and reliving it. Events that had been forgotten, or more accurately tried to forget, come to the surface. It is a process that may jostle you, to bring down certainties, to bring you to painful observations, but also, when the work is finished, to feel freer, lighter, more in keeping with yourselves.
Write to take stock ...
For some, writing is a way to take a distance from their experience, to take stock, in a word to see a little clearer. "I'm going to rediscover my past," a gentleman once told me, comparing her pen to the pilgrim's staff.
Write to be reborn
Writing about your life is not an end, it's a beginning! We think that by writing our life, we are putting a final point. Surprisingly enough, it is often the opposite that happens. People reborn after writing their story and even prepare for a second life, filled with the energy they had just drawn from those writings.

Chapter Twenty-Four - Prologue
She stirs, moving as she does, and her slight movement awakens him from his peaceful slumber. He blinks, letting his eyes sharpen into focus and then stiffens when he feels her soft skin beside him. His heart begins to pound as he desperately runs through the previous night's events. He remembers getting ready to go clubbing with his friends. He remembers dancing, colours, girls, sweat, music, lights, drinks. So many drinks. He remembers falling out of a taxi.
And then blackness.
He turns to look at the time. 05:15. He is too afraid to look at her, too afraid to confirm what he has done.
His throat is dry, but he is reluctant to disengage himself from her to go and get a glass of water. His mouth tastes like stale beer, and it takes him a while to realise that he also smells like it as well.
If he moves she will wake up.
And then he will have to look at her. And, worse, he will have to talk to her.
He closes his eyes and tries to go back to sleep. Things will be better in the morning. The sunlight will dispel the nightmare as it does darkness. His eyes become laden with sleep, and he turns over and presses his body against hers, enjoying the sensation of skin against skin.
Maybe it didn't have to be over.

Floor lamps can act in a variety of different ways within a room, as they are very functional lighting applications. Recently floor lamps are being lumped into the "task lighting" category because these lamps are often used for a particular function, which inevitably leads to a reduction in the overall lighting demands within a household. With that being said, a floor lamp is an excellent way to reduce energy costs within a house. By turning off overhead lights and turning on the floor lamp, energy usage is decreased and the house becomes just a little more "green".
Majority of floor lamps are the traditional 3-way socket and need a 3-way light bulb as well. There are also models that will use incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs or halogen bulbs as well depending on what part of the house the light will be used in. With the idea of task lighting and "going green" in mind, a low-voltage light bulb is often used. With the use of these low-voltage light bulbs there can be up to a 40 percent saving in light energy used within the house.
The standard floor lamp is composed of two parts, excluding the light bulb of choice. The lamp base and the lampshade are the two main parts of a floor lamp and these are held together by a harp and finial. The style of the base will often come in a number of different styles depending on where in the house the lamp is to be incorporated. In order to choose the right floor lamp for a particular room it is important to first analyze the carpet color, wall color or color of other furniture already found in the room. The floor lamp base can sometimes be adjustable in height, which may also affect where it can be placed within the room as well.
The lampshade is the other functional piece of the floor lamp that needs to be taken into consideration when incorporating a floor lamp into the home décor. Like the base, it comes in a variety of different styles, shapes, colors, sizes and is composed of a number of different materials. Again, like the base, the type of shade should depend on the décor of the room in which the lamp will be placed. Unlike the base, there are some functional considerations as well. This has to do mostly with the amount of light the shade is going to let through. Is the lampshade going to shade eyes completely from the light bulb, is it going to let through and illuminate the room upward, or is the floor lamp going to be used as a reading lamp and illuminate the room downward for optimal reading? For things such as task lighting where the floor lamp will be used for only reading, it may be advised to have the shade point the light downward instead of lighting the entire room by pointing upward. With this task in mind, the translucency of the shade is not as important as if the light was going to be used to light the entire room.
Choosing the right floor lamp is dependent on a number of factors. Most importantly, it needs to be determined the main function of the lamp before the lamp is picked out. Task lighting is something that has recently come about and floor lamps are some of the best tools that can be used to reduce energy costs in this regard. A floor lamp can act in a variety of ways and is always a positive addition to a room, whether it is for reading or just to add a new flare to an old room.

GOP leaders on Akin: 'We're done'
Texas Sen. John Cornyn doesn't want to talk about Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin.
"We're done," Cornyn, chairman of the powerful National Republican Senatorial Committee, responded when asked whether the committee would reverse course and spend money to help Akin if he stays in the race.
Story Continued Below
"As far as I'm concerned, that's up to the people of Missouri," he added. "I've done everything I know how to do."
As Akin begins to build a campaign operation focused heavily on turning out conservatives, Republicans in Washington are starting to put their cash elsewhere, resigned to the increasing likelihood that they will be stuck with a candidate they fear has no chance against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.).
After scrapping a planned $5 million TV ad blitz in Missouri, the NRSC has shifted its focus to states like Maine, where the party committee will unveil Wednesday a $600,000, two-week ad buy to prop up Republican Charlie Summers in a three-way race led by independent Angus King. The high-spending Republican outside group, Crossroads GPS, canceled the last of its planned Missouri ads on Tuesday, scrapping the $2.3 million it wanted to use to attack McCaskill. And Republicans began to focus on once-ignored states that could be crucial to their path to the majority, such as the suddenly competitive race in Connecticut.
On top of that, Republican officials say Akin — a devout Christian conservative — has informed them that his decision to run is being guided by faith and belief in God. That means, they say, there's little chance he'll get out.
"It's all theological for him," said one Republican House member who knows Akin well but asked not to be named.
Akin and his team reject the notion that he's a one-note candidate who can only appeal to religious conservatives and the anti-abortion community, pointing to Tuesday's endorsement from the Missouri Farm Bureau. They say his fiscal conservative positions and views on the economy are well within the Missouri mainstream.
"People all over the state" are encouraging him to remain in the race, Akin told a swarm of reporters Monday.
Akin said he's heard this time and again from voters: "'We've already voted. The party bosses want to put anyone else in. Don't you give up; you stay in there and you fight.'"
Indeed, the moves by national figures to get Akin out of the race have infuriated his supporters. Akin won his hard-fought Senate primary, they say, and he has apologized profusely for his comments on rape and pregnancy last month.
Still, there are signs that his campaign is financially stretched. A $225,000 ad buy that was slated to run until last week was stretched out into this week, meaning fewer commercials over a longer time frame. In the meantime, McCaskill has been pounding the airwaves with $500,000 per week in ads, including recent commercials branding herself as a moderate.
Akin's team recognizes the disparity but is banking on hopes that money will pour in once it's clear he's in the race to stay; the deadline to get off the ballot is Sept. 25. They don't believe the national groups' threats that they will stay out of a competitive race that could determine the Senate majority. And they plan to launch a new ad campaign in the fall targeting voters put off by McCaskill's support of much of President Barack Obama's agenda.
"If we can replace an adequate amount of money and generate a genuine grass-roots campaign, we will beat Claire McCaskill because this is ultimately a referendum on her," said Rick Tyler, a top adviser to Akin. "However, having said all that, I believe the national money will come back."
If it doesn't, Tyler said: "I don't think the Republican Party will lose the Senate because of Todd Akin. They will lose the Senate majority because they don't want to defend conservative principles."

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
The first battle of Manassas, or Bull Run, greatly changed the way the majority of Americans viewed the Civil War. Initially, soldiers like Sullivan Ballou wrote flowery, poetic letters, romanticizing the coming war and what it stood for. After the battle, soldiers viewed the conflict much as J.W. Reid did--as a terrifying, horrible experience, in which thousands of men were killed and wounded. By war's end in April 1865, more than 620,000 soldiers would lose their lives. The civilian population of the nation also was affected by the events at Manassas. Those who lived near the battlefields, like the Henrys, had their livelihood ruined because the battles were fought on their property. Others who lived hundreds of miles away, like the Ballous, were devastated by the loss of a cherished family member. No longer would Americans think of the Civil War as an entertaining spectacle, as had the Washingtonians who followed the troops to view this conflict.
Activity 1: Considering Life as a Soldier
Activity 2: Manassas National Battlefield Park
Activity 3: Local and Personal Impact of the Civil War
For example, if they live in a state that participated in the war, the region probably saw local men enlist and might have supported a regiment. Battles and skirmishes took place across the United States, even as far west as Arizona and New Mexico. Many modern military bases bear the names of Civil War figures. Students also could look for evidence of the indirect impact of issues that led up to the war. For instance, was their state one of those admitted to the Union as slave or free as part of "compromise legislation?" Were Civil War veterans prominent in exploring or developing their area? Were or are there conflicts created or intensified by continuing resentments?

As long as we're on the subject of planting bulbs, don't forget the most delicious bulb of all – garlic.
Cooks love it, vampires not so much. A possible win-win, especially since garlic and vampires are increasingly popular for different reasons.
You can grow a year's supply of garlic starting now, harvest it in the early summer with those long dry stems that can be braided, and be set for garlic until the following harvest season. Best of all, you have a chance to grow your garlic organically.
Many gardeners start with grocery store garlic by dividing the bulb into individual cloves.
Master gardener Yvonne Savio says to choose the largest cloves you can find, even if it means purchasing half-a-dozen heads to get only a dozen big cloves. "Start bigger, you end up bigger," she writes at uccemg.com.
More adventurous cooks can seek out specialty garlic. Groworganic.com offers a combo pack that allows you to try all kinds – from Elephant garlic to French reds and purple Italian.
Thegarlicstore.com stocks everything you can think of in the way of garlic, including seed garlic, oils and vinegars, garlic books and fresh garlic braids.
Sam Hamann from Tomatomania.com in Ojai says garlic can be a bit of a challenge to grow, but with a few simple tricks to discourage bacteria, garlic is worth the garden space, especially the heirloom varieties.
Garlic wants a bit of chilly weather to break dormancy and sprout, so if you have low spot in the landscape where cold air collects and is also in full sun, pick that for planting. Or pop your garlic cloves in the refrigerator for three weeks before planting out.
On planting day, grab a quart-size jar, fill it with water and add one tablespoon each of baking soda and liquid seaweed. This helps prevent fungus and promotes rooting. Soak the cloves for two hours. Then remove the papery husks that can harbor disease.
Garlic is tolerant of all kinds of soil, but make sure yours drains fast. It doesn't hurt to dig deep and add organic matter, but know that bulb plants will rot away in soggy and too-moist soils.
"Garlic loves as much compost as you provide," says Hamann. Dig it in before you plant and apply it on top as a side dressing during the growing season.
Plant cloves 6 to 8 inches part in full sun. Bury the tips 2-inches deep with the "root end" down and the pointy tip up.
Garlic may sprout in 4 to 6 weeks, but if it does remember that it won't grow much during the winter months. Garlic will develop strong root systems in the winter while top growth resumes in spring.
Don't overwater. Garlic likes evenly moist soil, with the emphasis on moist, not wet.
"Drainage is the key to growing garlic," Hamann said. "You want to offer your plants water, but they should not be constantly wet. Aim for slightly dry between watering."
Feed your garlic plants with a balanced organic plant food when growth begins again in spring. Bulbing will occur in June and July.
Harvest plants when the flowers have faded and a third of the leaves begin to brown. Don't wait until the entire top has died back or your garlic can rot and it won't store well.
"When the tops are dying back, the garlic bulbs are losing their papery protection at the same time. You want the bulbs to be mature, but don't leave them in the ground too long," Hamann said.
Hamann hangs his garlic in the shade for six weeks to dry before bringing it inside for storage.
What kind of garlic to grow? There are two basic kinds: hardneck and softneck.
Hardneck garlic has stiff stems alongside an attractive and curling flower. Hardnecks can be iffy in warm winter climates and are best planted in cold regions.
Softneck garlic, like the name implies, matures below soft stems that are easy to braid for storage. This is the garlic you find at grocery stores. Softnecks keep longer and are suitable for warm-winter climates.
When garlic is mature and ready to dig, you'll harvest some large bulbs, some medium and some very small. All are edible, but the small bulbs are especially nice for necklaces – you know, for scaring off your neighborhood Buffy devotee.
If you love garlic AND vampires, the good news is you can celebrate both. Friend of Tomatomania and Cajun cookbook author Marcelle Bienvenu has published a cookbook for HBO titled, "True Blood, Eat, Drinks and Bites for Bon Temps." Find it online at store.hbo.com.
