Before visiting Ireland, you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination: (Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.)
To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect.
Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, medications, and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.
If your travel plans will take you to more than one country during a single trip, be sure to let your health-care provider know so that you can receive the appropriate vaccinations and information for all of your destinations. Long-term travelers, such as those who plan to work or study abroad, may also need additional vaccinations as required by their employer or school.
Be sure your routine vaccinations are up-to-date. Check the links below to see which vaccinations adults and children should get.
Routine vaccines, as they are often called, such as for influenza, chickenpox (or varicella), polio, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), and diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) are given at all stages of life; see the childhood and adolescent immunization schedule and routine adult immunization schedule.
Routine vaccines are recommended even if you do not travel. Although childhood diseases, such as measles, rarely occur in the United States, they are still common in many parts of the world. A traveler who is not vaccinated would be at risk for infection.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Vaccination or Disease Recommendations or Requirements for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases Routine Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots such as, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, etc. Hepatitis B Recommended for all unvaccinated persons who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment, such as for an accident, even in developed countries, and for all adults requesting protection from HBV infection.
Items to Bring With You Medicines you may need:
The prescription medicines you take every day. Make sure you have enough to last during your trip. Keep them in their original prescription bottles and always in your carry-on luggage. Be sure to follow security guidelines, if the medicines are liquids. Note: Some drugs available by prescription in the US are illegal in other countries. Check the US Department of State Consular Information Sheets for the country(s) you intend to visit or the embassy or consulate for that country(s). If your medication is not allowed in the country you will be visiting, ask your health-care provider to write a letter on office stationery stating the medication has been prescribed for you.
Other items you may need:
See suggested over-the-counter medications and first aid items for a travelers' health kit.
Note: Check the Air Travel section of the Transportation Security Administration website for the latest information about airport screening procedures and prohibited items.
Other Diseases Found in Western Europe Risk can vary between countries within this region and also within a country; the quality of in-country surveillance also varies. The following are disease risks that might affect travelers; this is not a complete list of diseases that can be present. Environmental conditions may also change, and up to date information about risk by regions within a country may also not always be available.
Tickborne encephalitis (TBE) occurs in warmer months of the southern part of the nontropcial forested regions of Europe.
Leishmaniasis (cutaneous and visceral) is found, especially in countries bordering the Mediterranean, with the highest number of cases from Spain, where it is an important opportunistic infection in HIV-infected persons.
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob cases have been reported primarily from the United Kingdom, although a few cases have been reported from other countries in Western Europe. Large outbreaks of trichinosis have occurred; outbreaks in France have been linked to horse meat.
Measles outbreaks occurred in several European countries in 2006.
Risk of hepatitis A is low, although sporadic outbreaks have occurred in developed countries.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 has been documented in wild birds or other avian species in several of the countries in Europe. For a current list of countries reporting outbreaks of H5N1 among poultry and/or wild birds, view updates from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
For more information, see the Geographic Distribution of Potential Health Hazards to Travelers and Goals and Limitations in determining actual disease risks by destination.
Staying Healthy During Your Trip Prevent Insect Bites Diseases, like tickborne encephalitis (TBE) and leishmaniasis are spread through tick and sandfly bites respectively. One of the best protections is to prevent such bites by:
Using insect repellent with 30%-50% DEET. Picaridin, available in 7% and 15% concentrations, needs to be applied more frequently. Wearing long-sleeved shirts which should be tucked in, long pants, and hats to cover exposed skin. When you visit areas with ticks and fleas, wear boots, not sandals, and tuck pants into socks. For detailed information about insect repellent use, see Insect and Arthropod Protection.
Be Careful about Food and Water Diseases from food and water are the leading cause of illness in travelers. Follow these tips for safe eating and drinking:
Avoid unpasteurized dairy products. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially before eating. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand gel (with at least 60% alcohol). Diseases from food and water often cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Avoid Injuries Car crashes are a leading cause of injury among travelers. Protect yourself from these injuries by:
Not drinking and driving. Wearing your seat belt and using car seats or booster seats in the backseat for children. Following local traffic laws. Wearing helmets when you ride bikes, motorcycles, and motor bikes. Hiring a local driver, when possible. Avoiding night driving. Other Health Tips To avoid infections such as HIV and viral hepatitis do not share needles for tattoos, body piercing, or injections. To reduce the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases always use latex condoms. Top of Page
After You Return Home If you are not feeling well, you should get medical attention and mention that you have recently traveled

Cambria Suites is Breaking Ground

This week Cambria Suites, the upscale, all-suite brand in the Choice Hotels family, begins construction on three new properties in the New York area—two in downtown Manhattan (Times Square and Chelsea) and one in White Plains. Mike Murphy, senior vice president for Cambria Suites, says the introduction of the brand to the New York market demonstrates that Cambria Suites is on a fast-paced track for growth.
"We're going to launch these three hotels in probably the most difficult time in our industry from a development standpoint," he says. "Entry into Manhattan is very difficult, and you have to do it right. We've got the right locations, we've got the right properties, and we've got the right partners. I've been doing this for 30 years, and this is the most exciting time I've ever experienced in my career."
The New York projects, which are being developed with partners Concord Hospitality, Meyer Jabara, and We Care Trading Ltd., will create more than 1,000 jobs and represent an investment of $140 million dollars in New York.
Setting up a presence in the New York market is part of Cambria Suites' overall strategy of entering into the top 50 markets in the United States. The brand plans to build hotels in cities such as Boston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago in the next few years.
"Proactively, we have to go after primary urban markets first," says Murphy. "By doing so, you get more eyeballs on your hotels and create a heavy amount of brand awareness."
Although Cambria Suites currently only owns 19 properties, its development pipeline is progressing. The brand has 26 hotels under development and is focusing on expansion into new markets. In October, the brand announced that it will build hotels in West Orange, N.J.; West Palm Beach, Fla.; and Williamsport, Pa. In June, Cambria Suites also opened a 111-room property in Rapid City, S.D., and has plans to open a location in Miami in 2013.
The uptick in development for the all-new-build brand stems from an increase in lending opportunities and an investment from its parent company. Choice Hotels has plunged $250 million into Cambria Suites to fuel the brand's future growth, and company CEO Steve Joyce has expressed his personal commitment to the brand as it moves forward.
"Steve Joyce has a vision and was able to get the entire company to support that vision," says Murphy. "When the CEO of a company has that level of passion and is surrounded by the commitment of the board, the executive team, and all of the colleagues globally throughout Choice, it's fun to watch—it's fun to be part of."
Several future Cambria Suites will be part of mixed-use developments that consist of office space, retail stores, and residential apartments. The hotels being developed in Williamsport, Pa. and West Palm Beach, Fla., as well as the property groundbreaking this week in White Plains, N.Y., will all be part of larger mixed-use projects.
"With mixed-use developments, you're building an infrastructure of opportunity for the consumer in combination with providing opportunities for the local residents," says Murphy. "It becomes a mini social center, and you very often get the community support."
According to U.S. pipeline reports from STR, the upscale tier continues to show growth, and Choice Hotels is banking on Cambria Suites to fill that tier under the company umbrella.
"Upscale is the opportunity because the customer is moving there," says Murphy. "It's also a great opportunity for Choice to grow and meet the demand."

Miguel Delibes, Señora de Rojo sobre Fondo Gris +
A very brief novel but very concise and solid through beginning to the end. Delibes teaches a lesson on how to create an admirable female character, honoring his wife, a woman capable of stealing a simple with her simple presence. A nouvelle that can touch very deep feelings with a ease situations and a very agile prose.
Tomas Tranströmer, Baltics (re-read)
Just when you think epic chants are a question of the middle ages, Tranströmer takes us to his landscapes and flood us in the vivid images of his family from mid XIX century to the present days. A land he knows very well, inherited from people who carried it in their veins, his grandparents. Part three reminded me so much of The Waste Land, very mythic with a lot of cult references you have to slowly decipher to obtain the whole immensity of the poem. Magnificent work!

As today marks the 11th anniversary of the terror attacks on the United States in which nearly 3,000 people died, the VFW's program will include speakers from the local police and fire departments, sharing their memories of Sept. 11, 2001, and how they reacted to the news of what had happened.
"It's a situation where we can show our gratitude to the first responders," said VFW Post 8480 Commander Harry Ray.
According to Ray, a local minister will also deliver a spiritual message. And although some type of entertainment will be provided and food and drinks will be served, the memorial program will have the serious tone it deserves, said Ray.
"It's a very somber occasion," he said. "It's still fresh on a lot of people's minds and in their hearts."
Ray said the terror attacks of 2011 affected a lot of people, and it was important to him and his post that they would not be forgotten.
"There are people still suffering as a result of what happened," he said, adding that a similar attack could happen again. "We don't want anyone to forget that."

Fluttershy sings a song, Orchestral Dubstep, and more remixes of Eurobeat Brony's Luna song, check it out after the break!
1.) Fluttershys lullaby
2.) ArtAttack - Orchestral Chaos
3.) RobotPony befriends Eurobeat Brony - Luna (Insomnia Mode)
More music? Awesome.
Orchestral music? Even better.
PONY RELATED MUSIC? Best.
Hell yeah.
That first one man. It just made me tear up and smile. as if that song wasnt already beautiful. Man, Fluttershy, you improve everything.
The second one....new ringtone heh. Was sick!
as for the last, I like that one! Heh the pace was awesome for it!
I predict Equestria Daily will hit 50,000,000 page views next Monday or Tuesday.
I apologize for that outburst. Please return to your comments.
Bet you five bits it hits it on Sunday.
Dear lord that first one sounds eerie as hell. Actually, it also kinda sounds like someone set her voice to music from Sword of Mana.
I went to the park at the end of the street the other night as just past midnight. I went to stand at the top of the watch tower, its about 4m high. Looking up at the moon, just reflecting on my life so far, I started singing the chorus of the third one to myself.
Just as I was finishing the last line, a gentle gust of wind blows across the grass and treetops, as if acknowledging my song to the darkness.
one of the few moments in my life worthy of tears...
Wow. That's very touching actually. Makes you really wonder...
I guess between the 1st video and the Banjo Kazooie one earlier I'm gonna have to replay some old stuff.
Really I never realized how good that was but still instantly knew I head it from somewhere.
I love #3, it sounds so nice, this is one of my favorite Luna based songs and in the top 5 for my favorite in general.
I actually listen to the first original one all the time, its so touching and such, especially if you know where it came from, that scene was so sad...
I'm betting 50000000 bits on that one.
Gonna buy myself a private Portal to Equestria.
I know what you mean man, makes ya wonder.
I went out to a hill nearby my place, it's a school park and there was a bench there, It was a relatively dim night, the cloud cover was hiding the night sky. i occassionally take my guitar in case i get inspiration. I sat down and started playing #3 there and as i sang it the clouds cleared with a light breze... finished the song and just sat in silence for a while...
@Apsuenbwyfer11 and @SteampunkBrony From your lips to Luna's ears.
I love that song. It's so moving. Amazing stories, both of you. :)
you know....if(should say when...gotta think positive)they put out a Pony soundtrack CD
there are 2 bonus tracks i want on it
1) the "good" version of the CMC talent show song that has been mentioned a few times
2) a full length version of Fluttershy doing hush now quiet now
#1: Weird. I think it would've been better if it had stayed closer to Fluttershy's voice.
#2: ... That ... What ... Did ... Really unusual song, but fairly befitting of Discord. I can only say "fairly befitting", though, because if it were truly befitting, it would be too random and too chaotic for me to enjoy. As it is, it's a keeper. Still not quite sure how much I like it, but I'm intrigued enough to try it a few more times, at least.
#3: I prefer the Diss Order Club Mix, but this stripped-down mix proves the basic quality of the song and Eurobeat Brony's performance.
@All Glory to Fluttershy
If the soundtrack CD has one of these, I'll buy it. If it has both, I'll pay regular retail.
Someone much wiser than me said that you cannot be sure of a song's quality unless you sell it in a badly lit bar with just vocals and an acoustic guitar for backing.
Clearly, #3 is a song of high quality.
First one struck me as perhaps slightly odd, but it was strangely cute too. Oh Fluttershy, you make even odd things adorable.
Orchestral Chaos. That is a very interesting piece of music for sure. Unique mix of genres. But naturally, I rather kinda like it.
The Luna remix is alright. It's got a nice gentle flow to it. Though I prefer some of the other remixes more myself.
the third one could be awesome but the vocals seems to have been taken from the original and slowed down to fit the tempo. Not TOO badly done, but the rythm is often off because of that. A shame really... now if the singer could sing it again "live" with those instruments, it would be perfect.
number 1 was weird, but as someone said earlier, Fluttershy makes even the weirdest things adorable
number 2, I'm surprised not to have seen dubstep for discord earlier, seems so obvious :p
@All Glory to Fluttershy
I couldn't agree more
Also, I lover the third one. A great spin to a great song.
I think 3 needed some adjustment with the vocals. They sounded a bit out of sync in places, especially the chorus.
Well, I'm convinced.
Super Pony Galaxy, with Fluttershy as Rosalina. Make it happen, guys.
Well, it hits roughly 400000 a day, so 100 bits says Wednesday.
#1. That one frame of CMC poping up on 0:05 is really bothering me.
Iv'e heard the 3 rd one ages ago, just without the words

Earlier --A man and a 7-year-old child are dead after a motorcycle accident in East Austin Tuesday.
According to police, the motorcycle crashed into a parked car along the 1100 block of Berger Street in East Austin shortly before 5:30 Tuesday afternoon.
Neither rider was wearing a helmet. According to Austin/Travis County EMS, the seven-year-old was transported to Dell Children's Hospital where the child was pronounced dead. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
"This is a very sad day for not only for the family, but also to start off this year, after having more or less a record year of fatalities last year, starting this one off so quickly," Lt. Doug Dukes with the Austin Police Department said.
These are Austin's first and second traffic fatalities of 2013. There were 80 traffic fatalities in the city in 2012.

This is a semi-release since people are having problems and I want to fix this before the new album is out. There's detailed error messages now, so you can copy/paste the deluge of code and put it in a spoiler for me to look at.
Also, if you're on Windows Vista or 7, don't run it out of Program Files. That tends to make Windows complain.

They were created 14,000 years ago, and still today, scientists come from all over the world to two lakes in Onondaga County. Both Green and Round lakes are among the rarest type in the world, nearly 200 feet deep but without oxygen below 60 feet. Still, there is life thriving in those depths. In this week's edition of your hometown, our Katie Gibas explores Green Lakes State Park.
FAYETTEVILLE, N.Y. -- Green Lakes State Park is a gem tucked away in the Central New York village of Fayetteville. For the outdoor enthusiast, it has plenty of great trails, picnic areas and swimming. For this history buffs, it's the park's unique formation that tells the greatest story, one that dates back to the Ice Age.
"There was actually a very large glacier. And there was a waterfall that was much larger than Niagara Falls. And the water came down and scoured out the deep basin," said Mark Teece, a chemistry professor at SUNY-ESF. "Green Lakes has very steep sides, and so it's very hard for wind to actually come through and start to move the water. The top layer and its bottom layer never mix. And so the bottom layer has aboslutely no oxygen and because it has no oxygen, very few things live there."
Green Lake and its sister, Round Lake, are two of the approximately 100 meromictic lakes in the world. It took eight years for Teece and his crew to get permits to scuba dive in Green lake. Once in the water, they discovered a delicate ecosystem, similar to a coral reef, made up of zooplankton, algae, mosses and sponges.
"The layer where oxygen stops is actually pink, and when you dive there, you can taste the sulfur. It's a very strange experience. The sediment actually is a beautiful record of what's happened in this area over the last 12,000 years," explains Teece. "One of the big things people were able to tell from this area was when Native Americans came in, and when agriculture began to take hold, because corn was used when agriculture started. There are still remnants of corn at the bottom of the lake."
Eventually the glaciers melted away, and the park started to become what it is today. In the 1800s, it was called Tremain Park, and even then, people knew how rare the lake was. That is why New York State purchased the land and started construction in 1929.
As governor, Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the Temporary Emergency Relief Agency that provided the manpower for construction of the park. After he became president, his New Deal program funded the Civilian Conservation Corps, which took over the Green Lakes project in 1933.
One of their first tasks was hauling sand from Sylvan Beach to create the bathing area at Green Lake.
"There were crews and crews. At one point, there were two CCC camps," remembers Richard Almquist, who lived at Green Lakes State Park.
Almquist's father was the park's surveyor and first superintendent. Almquist lived on the grounds from his birth in 1934 until 1951.
"After everything was quiet, 9:00 or 9:30 at night, I walk out there and take a canoe out and go boating on the lake by myself. The lake was quiet. If there wasn't any wind, it was just like a mirror. I was disrupting it was the paddle and canoe," said Almquist. "There was just no noise, no radio, no nothing, just quietly going along through the outdoors that everyone should enjoy."
Once the CCC crews moved out, their quarters were used to house both migrant farm workers and prisoners of war. In 1945, about 200 young German prisoners were held at Green Lakes.
"There'd be a truck that would probably have 15-20 on it when they brought a bunch down. And there was always guards with them. It was always safe. They weren't harmful. They were lonely. They were away from home," said Norma Jenner, Minoa historian.
In 1975, Round Lake and the surrounding forest were placed on the National Registry of Natural Landmarks. Today, Green Lake is still one of the most studied lakes in the world.
"There are some purple sulfa bacteria that grow and they use sunlight, just like plants, but they don't use any oxygen and they can grow, photosynthesize there. And scientists come from all over the world to look at this lake because it's an analogue for the beginnings of life when there was no oxygen," said Teece.
Ever since its creation, people have recognized how special Green Lakes is and made sure to take steps, like restricting swimming areas, to keep the fragile ecosystem alive for generations to come.
I Love My Park Day is a new statewide effort to celebrate and enhance the state's parks and historic sites. It's sponsored in part by YNN and Time Warner Cable Sports Channel and will take place on Saturday, May 4th.
Volunteers from across the state will be participating in cleanup and improvement events at parks throughout the region. If you would like to take part or donate to the cause, visit www.ptny.org.

you are welcomes
March 2012. We find serene lodging in the Mabera section of Sokoto, not far from the place where the two foreigners were executed in a botched rescue just a week prior – a slight stain on an otherwise spotless city. Unsurprisingly, few people mention it, either suspecting we know, and this is exactly what brought us, or that we're just two blissfully unaware idiots.
The first stop is 'Visible Sounds Studio' run by a young man named Khadir. We cram inside the music studio, separated from the main room by wood and plexiglass, bathed in a blue alien light. Khadir assembles his studio workspace, his Yamaha keyboard set beside his computer. He begins to assemble a song for us to observe the method of production. His hands dance over shortcuts and mouse clicks, triggering new tracks, dropping effects and rearranging the numerous multicolored wav-forms. A melody is seemingly plucked out of the air, a bass line is added, followed by crash of synthetic drums that unfold into a frenetic beat in a few minutes of rapid fire work. The instrumental finished, he sets the Yamaha aside, and the singers enter the soundbooth in a revolving succession, recording vocal tracks that are overdubbed twice to create harmony and then dropped into Antares autotune. They have no woman vocalist on staff, so one of the male singers sings in a ridiculously high pitch. Post-autotune, it sounds convincing.
Suraj Sound Studio is larger and more professional. A poster on the street advertises the services of sound and film: a comedian in signature red hat striking an exaggerated silly face flanks a beautiful girl in headphones standing before a microphone. The studio is a bit larger then the others, and more professional. Naturally, the work moves a bit slower. After a flurry of introductions, shaking hands with dozens of actors, comedians, and musicians, the engineer beings to work. Two singers sit on the floor with intense focus. They ask us our names as they pen the lyrics, occasionally humming a tune. The dedication of the engineer and vocalists is exhausting – even for the crowd, that eventually thins out. They finally climb into the soundbooth for a series of unrelenting takes until the seemingly perfect phrasing. Of course, neither Warren or myself speak Hausa and wouldn't recognize the small differences. In the final audio, the only things we can identify are the names that we asked them to include: "Sahel Sounds" and "Little Axe."
Hausa Party 3: the OST
Bollywood, the multimillion dollar industry of Hindi film, has a presence in the most far flung corners of the world. The prodigious output of musical film is second perhaps only to marital arts (more on this later). Nowhere is this more apparent than in the North of Nigeria, where audiences are not content just to watch films, but created an industry of their own, modeled on Bollywood. (previously and more previously)
There is something in the story that invokes the cargo cult – the influence of a culture from afar: Hindi films are imported in the 1960s by Lebanese traders and have a huge resonance with Hausa Muslim populations. Successive generations grow up in the shadow of Bollywood, watching films, singing songs, and even learning Hindi. Decades later, when the Hausa begin to experiment with film-making, they naturally turn to Bollywood – copying style, plots, and songs. Soon, an entire industry is thriving, modeled on Bollywood – replete with choreographed dancing and syrupy love ballads.
The cargo cult metaphor is not without its problems. North of Nigeria is not an island – Kano, the center of today's Kannywood, is also the center of commerce, an ancient city of trade for the entire Sahara and Sahel. And more importantly, there is not the power difference of the cargo cult. The impetus to invoke this metaphor suggests a trend in the narrative. Cultural influence is often portrayed as a one way flow one, pouring out of the Western countries and inundating the developing world – dropping artifacts on little isolated islands, where the natives puzzle over their workings. The scattershot of cultural exchange, where trends or styles are adapted because of some unexpected resonance or similarity are more common than top down cultural imposition. Abdallah Adamu refers to these as "transglobal flows." Examples in contemporary music abound: Cuban Salsa in Benin, Jamaican dancehall in South Sudan, or Chutney Soca in Trinidad. The old channels of communication follow the same routes of their predecessors, whether borne of colonial legacy or diaspora movement, but are filled with the products of new media and exchange.
In 2012, we traveled to Kano to research and curate a release of Hausa film music and meet with the film stars, directors, and musicians in pursuit of this Bollywood theme. And it's true that even today, you can still watch a Bollywood film at the old cinemas of Kano every Friday. Yet when posing the question of Indian influence, artists were quick to distance themselves. Today, Kannywood thrives as an entity apart from the old Bollywood films. Contemporary soundtracks are a sound that is both unique and stylized, with over the top Autotuned vocals and rhythmic pulse of programmed drums and hi-hats (the signature sound – this is where Mdou Moctar recorded his demo).
While long captivated by Youtube clips that showcase Bollywood style dance, after traveling to Kano it became apparent that the music has forged its own style and a prodigious output of its own. In the age of digital compositions, most artists did not have original masters, and often entire songs had been erased from history. Musician Abubakar Sani, when asked about how many songs he made, told us "5000, 3000 of them hits." Of these 5000, we could only find about one hundred. Today's Hausa film music is its own entity and sound – one of the many genres thriving in a globalized world and a strong argument against the perceived homogenization of connectivity, which after all, has always existed.
"Harafin So: Bollywood Inspired Film Music from Hausa Nigeria" is now available on LP and CD from Sahel Sounds and Little Axe records. Grab a copy at the shop or from Little Axe. Also available at bandcamp.

Niger Guitars Pt. 2
Haïdara and Abdoulaye live with their friends in a compound on the fringes of Niamey, the capital of Niger. The two concrete buildings house perhaps thirty students who have come here to attend the University. They are all from the town of Timia, an oasis in the Aïr mountains far up into the North of Niger. They are all here to study.
Haidara and Abdoulaye – Song 1
Though Niger is in theory one country, there remains divisions between the North and South – and huge differences between the cities and the country. As representatives of Timia, the student group is, in essence, a community in exile. Like immigrants living abroad, they maintain their connection to their home, visiting on vacations, and collectively forging a small enclave of Northerners. Although far removed, here they have the benefits of a global connectivity with regular access to the internet – in fact, I first meet the group via Facebook, who knowing of my impending visit, send me a short audio recording of Haïdara and Abdoulaye playing guitar.
When we do finally meet, we are received with some fanfare. Nearly all of the students living in the house are crammed into one of the rooms to receive us – though I suspect more for Ahmed, from Amanar, whose stardom precedes him. His sometimes cynical lyrics chastise the powerful and corrupt and demand the creation of a Tuareg class of intellectuals, and we are at the exact people that he's trying to reach. While Haïdara and Abdoulaye play guitar (perhaps more for Ahmed then for me) a youth named Adouma scrolls through a Word document on his laptop, anxious to share on of his projects. Contingent with his studies at the university, he has written a textbook with audio lessons for the Tamashek language of Niger, with accompanying Tifinagh.
In the North, the road to prosperity has been limited to a few options – the unpredictable tourist industry, the long shot musical career, competitive posts in the numerous NGOs, or dangerous black market smuggling. One of the continued complaints in the North is directed at the lack of education and opportunity – not always eloquently manifested, but expressed in a constant series of rebellions over the past decades.
When I lived in pre-rebellion Kidal, I regularly met with youth who would become instrumental in the overthrow of the Malian state, particularly in the utilization of technology to distribute their message. In a cyber cafe of the now defunct Maison de Luxembourg, I watched what would become an MNLA website launched on blogspot. Even then, the youth were ready for revolution, enamored with Che Guevara and inspired by the idealism of youth culture. They were already beyond peaceful reconciliation, products of Northern schools that for the most part, ignored them. Teachers from the capital, assigned to these outposts, were unable to speak Tamashek and even the most dedicated could be forgiven in their aparthy – sent to unfamiliar territories, with little or no support from the capital, they too were far from their families. Needless to say, Tuareg culture was not taught. I visited the Kidal high school library, and could not find a single book referencing the Tuareg. When I suggested to the soon to be revolutionaries that they compose an open letter to the Minister of Education demanding support and books, the idea seemed too small and inconsequential. Growing up in the shadow of Bamako, the Northern territories had too long existed in limbo, and their big dreams demanding big ideas.
While post rebellion Niger has followed a much different route, the student group from Timia is hopeful, a model of a new class that may usher in changes in the North countries. As ambassadors, or immigrants in exile, they remain "enfants de Timia". While Haidara and Abdoulaye play guitar, their compositions are not remarkable for their unique style – but in their purposeful nostalgia creating an oasis in the capital. It is not just symbolic, but a very real and pragmatic collective environment where resources are pooled to support one another in their struggle.
Haidara and Abdoulaye – Song 2
When Ahmed is out of the room, the students whisper to one another, finally asking if Ahmed will play a song. I ask him, but he politely refuses to their disappointment (though they do their best to hide it, and are somewhat allayed by a group photograph with the star). When we leave, I ask him why he wouldn't play, and why he seemed discouraged. But it was March, the rebellion had just begun in Mali, and his family was left behind. The message that was so readily embraced by the students of Timia had not been heard at his home in Kidal, and now a war was raging.
Mammane and his Electronic Organ
Lost in a music archive in the capital of Niger was the first I heard of the legendary Mammane Sanni Abdoulaye. The space was overflowing with dusty CDs, cassettes, and Nagra reels, and hunkering down from the insufferable heat outside, I prepared to spend a long week in research. Mammane's cassette was the first I pulled from the shelf, and I almost passed over in lieu of something more obscure. But I was captured by the photograph — a black and white picture of a young man with a goatee and a knit cap, posing in front of faux backdrop, hands on what appeared to be an organ. The music proved equally intriguing. The instrumental compositions were simple but dreamy, repetitive but hypnotic. It was esoteric and bizarre, unlike anything I had ever head – the imaginary audio track to an arcade game of desert caravans trek through an pastoral landscape of 8-bit acacias and pixelized sand.
Finding Mammane was surprisingly easy. Immediately after asking about him to the archive director, I had him on the phone. The next day, Mammane arrived. Much older than in the photo, with greying hair and in a pressed shirt and slacks, he had a laugh when I showed him the cassette, and he said it was best if we spent the day talking – he was retired, and didn't have much to do anyways. Moments later were running through the streets to catch a bus, followed by a taxi, that soon carried us outside of Niamey into the surrounding Sahel of scrubs and brown plains, where Mammane lives today. Inside the tiny house, interrupted intermittently by the persistent crow of a rooster, Mammane told me his story as we listened to his cassettes and paged through books of old photographs.
Mammane is well known throughout Niger, but his synth music was never hugely popular. He came from a privileged place in Niger society – his maternal grandfather was a chief in Ghana, his paternal grandfather a Colonel in the first World War, and Mammane's father was a librarian for the American Cultural Center. As a young man, Mammane became a functionary for UNESCO, during which he traveled to Japan and Europe. During one of the UNESCO meetings, a delegate from Rwanda had brought along his Italian "Orlo" organ. Mammane was captivated by the sound and convinced him to sell it. "It was possibly the first Organ in Niger," he explained. He began to compose songs on the organ. Many of these songs were interpretations of Niger folkloric classics. "I wanted to make the Wodaabe songs on the keyboard, make the Tuareg tendé with the rhythm," he said. Some were his own compositions. Salamatu, one his most popular songs, was created for his girlfriend. He stopped as he came across her photo, how he once lay with his head in her lap, and tears came to his eyes. When she asked him why he was crying, he answered "Because I've never been so happy as I am in this moment." He sits quietly, before I asked what happened to Salamatu, and he smiles before shaking his head and turning the page.
His first and only album was recorded in 1978. Mammane stepped into the studio of the National Radio with his organ, where it was transposed and overdubbed in two takes. In coordination with the Minister of Culture, the album was released in a limited series of cassettes showcasing modern Niger music. The cassette project unfortunately did not progress as planned, and merely a handful were released. Perhaps 100 were made – Mammane is unsure – fabricated in Nigeria. The copy that he owns and the one at the archive are the only ones he knows are left. Nevertheless, for over 30 years, Mammane continued to play. For a short while he even had a television show called "Mammane Sani et son Orgue Électronique" on Niger's television. He digs out a short clip, a black and white video transfer playing in front of the same backdrop that graces the cover of the cassette. Mammane is hardly esoteric or forgotten in Niger. His music today is known by everyone – it forms much of the repertoire of televised intermissions, radio segue-ways, and background music. And Mammane has continued to update his organs and pianos when they fall apart, benefiting from generous contributions from high society, gifts of presidents and ministers.
I left Mammane's house in the evening, ducking out of his house to catch transport back into town before the night came. And it was nearly a year later when we started to talk about releasing it on record. Mammane was nonchalant about it, only insisting that the proceeds could be used to upgrade his computer and get a new copy of audio software. But one of his musician friends I recently spoke to in New York was more adamant in his idea of the vinyl release. "He's been waiting over 30 years," he said. "It's about time."
Grab the vinyl here at the new Sahelsounds shop or Mississippi Records – and of course, the music is available on Bandcamp. Proceeds of the sales will go to Mammane's new computer and a copy of Reason, so stay tuned for future recordings.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A jury trial against a Point Pleasant man accused of murdering Zane Taylor last summer was cancelled on Wednesday in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County after a last-minute plea deal was negotiated and filed with the Gallia County Clerk of Courts.
James C. Garrett, 22, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter, a first degree felony, after a plea was negotiated between the State of Ohio, represented by the Gallia County Prosecutor's Office, and Garrett's defense counselors, Todd A. Long and James D. Owen of Columbus.
According to the plea agreement in this case, the state will recommend that Garrett be sentenced to 11 years of incarceration for involuntary manslaughter, the maximum sentence for a first degree felony in the State of Ohio.
Additionally, during Wednesday's hearing, upon a motion by the defense, Garrett's bond was reduced from $1 million, 10 percent, to $10,000, 10 percent, with an additional $1,500, 10 percent bond.
While released on bond and awaiting sentencing next week, Garrett will be subject to electrically-monitored house arrest, pre-paid by the defendant. According to the journal entry, while on house arrest, the defendant will reside with his aunt in Pomeroy and will be permitted to visit his grandfather, who is presently hospitalized.
He is scheduled to appear before Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans for sentencing at 11 a.m. on March 5.
Garrett had been charged with murder, aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery following the June 11 death of Taylor, 33, at the victim's home at 1841 Ohio 218, south of Gallipolis.
Garrett, along with his co-defendants, Lacey Redmond, 26, Gallipolis, Steven L. Williams, 31, Bidwell, and Eugene O. Wasonga, 25, Point Pleasant, were arrested following an investigation into the suspicious death.
As previously reported, the four suspects entered Taylor's residence on the afternoon of June 11 with a plan to rob him — an incident that reportedly later led to the victim's death. Following the robbery, the four exited the residence, loaded their vehicle with stolen items and subsequently disposed of the unwanted stolen property along Raccoon Creek Road, where it was later discovered by police.
Deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff's Office responded to Taylor's residence at approximately 2 p.m. on Monday, June 11 after the victim was found dead in his home.
According to testimony given during a preliminary hearing in this case, the suspects allegedly traveled together to Taylor's home on June 11 where Redmond made initial contact with the victim. The remaining three suspects then allegedly entered Taylor's home to rob the victim of money and/or items of value that could be located throughout the residence.
The suspects reportedly told investigators that it was Garrett's pre-arranged "job" to hold the victim to prevent his involvement in the robbery.
According to expert witness testimony given during the preliminary hearing last year, autopsy reports indicated the discovery of a hemorrhage in the musculature of the victim's neck, as well as contusions on the head in the eye and ear area.
Redmond, Williams and Wasonga were later indicted and charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, aggravated robbery and complicity to commit murder, while Garrett, remained as the only suspect facing a murder charge.
After negotiating a plea agreement, Wasonga pleaded guilty to one count of robbery and one count of tampering with evidence in December, while Redmond and Williams both pleaded guilty in their respective cases earlier this month — Redmond pleading guilty to aggravated robbery and complicity to involuntary manslaughter, and Williams pleading guilty to a charge of robbery and tampering with evidence.
In conjunction with their plea agreements, all three suspects agreed to testify against their co-defendant, Garrett, at trial.
According to plea agreements filed with the clerk of courts, the state will recommend that Redmond be sentenced to five years of imprisonment for aggravated robbery and 10 years for complicity to involuntary manslaughter.
The prosecution will recommend that both Williams and Wasonga be sentenced to 30 months of incarceration for the charge of robbery and 12 months for tampering with evidence, for a total of three years and six months of imprisonment.
As specified in the defendants' guilty pleas, the recommendation for sentencing by the prosecuting attorney is not binding upon the court, and, although the court has accepted their pleas, the court is not under any obligation to accept the plea agreements and will determine the appropriate sentence in each case.
Redmond, Williams and Wasonga are all awaiting sentencing in the common pleas court. Redmond is scheduled to appear on March 12, while Williams and Wasonga will be sentenced on March 6.

Spring Buyers Guide: 8/64
Well I just finished clicking through the highly extensive Buyers Guide for Spring 09 put together by Mens.Style.com and several of the top stores in the USA, from big to small. First off I would like to say thanks to Steven Torres for taking a lot of really nice product shots, along with the rest of team over there. It was well done for the most part. I guess my bone picking is more directed to the buyers featured in the article. Now I'm not running a store, not trying to pump up my own zebra pattern collaboration or buying for a huge department store, so my opinion is just that, my opinion. I do feel like I have a pretty good idea of what looks good and what I might actually think about buying. No I'm not in a huff because nobody picked anything by Engineered Garments. But I went through the whole feature and only pulled 8 out of the 60-something products. For the most part it was the smaller shops that had the items I liked, unsurprisingly. Odin, Blackbird, South Willard, Opening Ceremony and Jake all came through with an item or two. So what are the top picks that will save you clicking your mouse 73+ times? Woolrich Woolen Mills Upland jacket, Patrik Ervell grey blazer, Kolor double breasted blazer, Common Projects canvas safari boots, Quoddy blutchers, Our Legacy cable knit, Band of Outsiders plaid shorts and the blue corduroy YSL shorts. There you go, that's all you need this spring, notice how they all even look good together. ------------ Turns out Ryan and I wrote a post on the same thing at the same time, so for what it's worth here's how I feel about it. GQ's buyers guides are generally good. Their shop selection is good, each owner/buyer's picks are usually pretty good and it's always interesting to hear their forecasts. However, their latest installment for Spring is not bad, but slightly frustrating. Everyone knows the state of the economy, so I agree with quotes like these: "Spring 2009 is the next stage in the evolution of the modern, style-conscious man's wardrobe, and one that focuses on investment pieces." and, "...invest in must-have fashion that is memorable and adds value." They make sense, we as consumers should be buying smarter. Which is why I'm confused as to how one could consider a $275 deconstructed sweater (aka 2 sweaters cut in half and sewn back together) or a $1,715 blazer with paint splattered on it a good wardrobe investment. Unfortunately there are a handful of other not so great picks. I get that the guide is a marketing tool for these stores but it's not that hard to select items for promotion that are actually smart buys; just like most of the independent boutiques did. In addition to the stuff above, I don't mind the look of the Acne x Lanvin overcoat (but denim?) and the Marc Jacobs bomber (I'd rather a Baracuta though) for those inevitable spring showers. I'll give them half a point each to make it 9/64. -OP

Umbraco 5 Data Migration / Restore Issue
No comments · Posted by Carson.Junginger in .NET 4.0, MVC, Umbraco
I recently migrated an Umbraco 5 site from a live environment to my local environment to make some changes, and ran into an issue. I backed up the database of the live site and restored it locally, updated the connection string located in the Hive config file to point to my local database (located at ~\App_Data\Umbraco\HiveConfig\web.config), and the site still would not load. I was presented with the following screen:
Install Umbraco 5.0.0 RTM
Welcome to Umbraco 5
It looks like Umbraco isn't installed yet – click here to launch the install wizard.
Umbraco 5.0.0 RTM runs on ASP.NET MVC3. This is a standard MVC-powered page included as a demo of how your MVC application can serve pages alongside those managed by Umbraco CMS.
To learn more about ASP.NET MVC visit http://asp.net/mvc
After a few minutes of troubleshooting, I discovered that the issue was simply that the production environment was using a different user account for Umbraco to access the database than I was using locally, and even though I changed the connection string to reflect this, I forgot to associate the username with the database after the restore:
After checking the appropriate database roles for my user account everything was working again. Since Umbraco 5 doesn't error or give any warning about why it is at the install screen, this wasted a little bit of my time. Hopefully this helps one of you troubleshoot a similar issue.

It's hard to keep your pants up, when your baby bump conspires with gravity to push them down! Belly Ups® maternity suspenders solve the problem, neatly anchoring your waistband to your bra. They're comfortable, undetectable, and they won't snag even delicate fabrics. Your maternity clothes will fit and look better, and you'll keep wearing them after baby is born. Keeps pants from sagging (they're great for low-rise waistbands), skirts from twisting, and bras from riding up. One size fits most. Imported. See Product Details

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
I have been DREAMING of a product that functions like this- actually before I found these I was thinking I should INVENT something because I had so many great pairs of maternity jeans that just would NOT stay up. No more saggy bum! These are easy to use, dont slip off (I clip mine to the actual jean part of my pants, right where the jean meets the stretchy belly panel), price is obviously right. I will be giving these as gifts & recommending to all my pregnant friends. Love them.

Does your audio system need a little sprucing up? You may want to think about a speaker upgrade—or maybe just adding more speakers into your setup. That's fun too!
It's also very affordable, thanks to a current deal on Newegg. Right now, the online retailer is offering an instant $20 off a set of Pioneer's SP-BS21-LR bookshelf speakers. However, if you add the coupon code EMCNAJB226 during checkout, that will bring the price down to just $49.99. That's 50 percent off the list price of this pair, and even includes free shipping.
Featuring a curved cabinet and a crossover design, the SP-BS21-LR has a 1-inch soft dome tweeter for high frequencies and a 4-inch woofer. Other features include a frequency response of 65 Hz-20 kHz, 6 Ohms nominal impedance, and a sensitivity rating of 84dB. This speaker pair is perfect for 2-channel setups or as part of the larger system.
Speaking of which: If you need a little something extra for that larger audio setup, Newegg is also currently discounting the Pioneer SP-C21 center-channel speaker. This one is also priced at $49.99 with free shipping—if you use the coupon code EMCNAJB225 during checkout. This model boasts two woofers in a full-sized cabinet, as well as the same 1-inch soft dome tweeter and the same curved cabinet mentioned above. It's a perfect match for your bookshelf purchase!
Whether you order the center or the bookshelf set (or both!), make sure to use the above coupon codes to get the lowest price possible. And do it soon! According to Newegg, the coupons will expire on September 24, 2012, or whenever the retailer runs out of stock.

I've driven by this several times recently and the drive-through coffee place seems to be closed in the parking lot near the Shell station and Trader Joes. Caffino.com seems to not work either. Did this chain completely go under recently? Or did it just reduce their hours?
Posted by joanna, a resident of the Downtown neighborhood, on Jan 12, 2013 at 9:10 am
The Hayward Caffino's has also been closed for about a month now. Hope someone takes over--the drive-thru is very convenient and their coffee drinks are really good!
Posted by Daniel Bradford, a member of the Foothill High School community, on Jan 12, 2013 at 3:08 pmDaniel Bradford is a member (registered user) of PleasantonWeekly.com
Caffino's is indeed out of business, as reported by the Better Business Bureau:
"Out of Business
According to information in the BBB files, it appears that this company is no longer doing business in our area. The phone numbers the BBB had for this company are disconnected, and directory assistance does not have a listing for this company. The BBB's mail to this company has been returned as undeliverable. "
Web Link
I like Caffino's business model, but there are two problems with it: 1. They aren't big enough to get the bulk discounts that Starbucks has on supplies. The profit margin on any type of food business is very slender, and controlling the cost of your supplies is crucial to maintaining a viable profit margin. 2. The owners were undercapitalized (not enough money to permit them to grow). Those two factors combined are the reason so many small business, especially restaurants, fail.
Posted by Lisa, a resident of the Charter Oaks neighborhood, on Jan 12, 2013 at 3:48 pm
That's too bad. I know they employed a few of the young people in our town and gave employment opportunities to this segment of our population. I always like to support local companies that hire locally and wish the business wasn't forced to close.
Posted by homer, a resident of the Civic Square neighborhood, on Jan 14, 2013 at 9:48 am
I think wal mart is going to open something in that space
Posted by Downtowner, a resident of the Downtown neighborhood, on Jan 14, 2013 at 3:33 pmDowntowner is a member (registered user) of PleasantonWeekly.com
Actually, the Walmart market is going in farther south on Santa Rita, in the former Nob Hill Foods space.
I can imagine the difficulties with Caffino's drive-through there. Any parking lot with a Trader Joe's is pretty much nuts in the first place; Trader Joe's gives away free coffee to shoppers (in small cups); and there's a gas station there and two restaurants. Also, while it is next to a freeway interchange, it is not convenient to get off and on there and get coffee, especially westbound on 580.
Posted by Suzie, a resident of the Bridle Creek neighborhood, on Jan 14, 2013 at 5:42 pm
the walmart comment was a joke. I thought it was pretty funny but obviously Downtowner has no sense of humor.
Glad to see Caffino is closed-that parking lot is too small and congested for a coffee fotomat building.

sundre girl win rodeo crown 6-12-12
There is another member of Sundre rodeo royalty this week after 16-year-old Desirae Jackson won the Alberta High School Rodeo Queen competition.
Jackson beat out two other finalists in the prestigious competition, winning eight of eight categories during the finals in Ponoka.
Jackson joins Sundre�s Arleta Bowhay, who is Miss Rodeo Canada 2012, as a member of local rodeo royalty.
�I was so excited to win,� said Jackson. �I was really surprised that I won and that I won all eight categories. I was super surprised that I beat out the others in all events.�
The contestants were judged on modeling, public speaking, personal interview, horsemanship and other things. It was Jackson�s first time competing for the Alberta High School Rodeo Queen crown.
Jackson now goes to the Nationals in Rocksprings, Wyoming in July, where she will face off against more than 40 other contestants from Canada, U.S. and Australia.
She said she is very excited to be taking part in Nationals.
�I�m excited and looking forward to the competition,� she said.
As the Alberta High School Rodeo Queen, Jackson will be making appearances at many rodeo events, including during all three days of the Sundre Professional Rodeo and Sundre rodeo parade.
Jackson is a shadow contestant in this year�s Miss Rodeo Queen pageant.
Jackson says she may want to follow in Arleta Bowhay in trying for the Miss Rodeo Canada Queen.
In other rodeo news, this year�s contest to pick Miss Rodeo Sundre and her princess has the largest number of contestants since 2007.
The six candidates running to replace outgoing Miss Rodeo Sundre Bronwen Bowhay and her princess Chelsea Mather. They are Breanna Macklin from Sundre, Taylor Grassl from Sundre, Cayley Martyn from Sundre, Alyssa Worobetz from Sundre, Mackenzie Henn from Airdrie, and Katie Schenk from Rocky Mountain House.
As in past years, this year�s contestants are being judged on a variety of categories, including personal interviews, written examinations, horsemanship, appearance, personality, punctuality, preparedness, modeling, public speaking and compatibility.
There are two contestants in this year�s Sundre Rodeo shadow contest: Desirae Jackson from Sundre and Delanie Insel from Rocky Mountain House.
The shadow program developed three years ago to allow young ladies interested in running for Miss Rodeo Sundre in future years to follow the contestants and see all of what is involved in the pageant competition.
Miss Rodeo Sundre contestant Cayley Martyn, 16, who competed in the 2011 contest, says the success of Sundre�s Arleta Bowhay in becoming Miss Rodeo Canada 2011-2012 has been an inspiration to her.
�It is encouraging me a lot,� she said. �It shows that I can maybe go on to be Miss Rodeo Canada. It is pushing me forward. I�m pretty sure the other girls are also encouraged by Arleta.
Cayley shadowed Arleta for two years before trying for the Miss Rodeo crown herself.
The 2012-2013 Miss Rodeo Sundre and the Sundre Rodeo Princess will represent the town and community at rodeo and other events across the province, including at the Sundre Bulls & Wagons weekend, at the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede, at the Bowden and Carstairs parades, and at a great number of professional rodeos.
