Organizing group activities actually began while still in high school but grew through my career as an artist. The joy and exhilaration of a well done show or exhibit is quite rewarding and not necessarily based on sales. As a producer and curator quality in both design and performance is a requirement. Developing the skills to work with others and gaining the understanding can take a lifetime.
My goal as coordinator is to encourage and mentor artists and to provide them with the tools and skills to develop proper set-up, presentation and design for art exhibits, to promote the use of artistic activities, support artistic development and improve the quality of life for all.
2010-present day
I spend countless hours negotiating and administering contracts relating to the acquisition of locations with community businesses owners and government officials; Assist member-artists in the development of marketing techniques utilizing website development, social networking, branding and more; Communicate effectively both orally and in writing; Plan group activities, individual and group exhibits, one-off events, pop-up galleries, shows, co-ops and long-term projects; Create press releases to publicize all related shows; Perform a wide variety of duties and responsibilities with accuracy and speed under the pressure of time-sensitive deadlines; Demonstrate integrity, ingenuity, and inventiveness in the performance of assigned tasks.

Teachers and staff at Chaffee Elementary in Huntsville could barely keep a straight face on Tuesday.
They were preparing to surprise Chaffee's 5th graders with a free trip to space camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
Space and Rocket Center CEO Dr. Deborah Barnhart joined the Huntsville Elks Lodge for the big reveal.
"They'll get out of school for a week and it's more than they'll learn in a lifetime," Barnhart said.
One by one, each student assembled in the school library not knowing what was to come. They knew a surprise was imminent, but could not figure out what.
One student guessed whether it was related to their box top collection contest. Others wondered if the surprise had anything to do with news crews that were there to capture the moment.
Jay Lockridge of the Huntsville Elks Lodge gave the first clue by saying the students will have to miss school. After gasps of anticipation, every child cheered when they heard Lockridge finally say they're all going to space camp.
And they're going for free.
A late benefactor from the Huntsville Elks Lodge donated nearly $30,000 to send each 5th grader on the trip.
"He left this endowment with instructions for us to identify and send children to space camp who would not otherwise have the opportunity to go," Lockridge said.
This is the second year the Lodge has provided the endowment. Last year, they sent children from Chapman Elementary to space camp.
"I'm very excited because I've never been to space camp before," said student Cody Porter.
Barnhart said the children will attend the program in February.
"It's absolutely fantastic. We all need to do in what we can do in our own communities to make a difference in these lives and the Elks have been making a major step forward in changing these lives," Barnhart said.Copyright 2012 WAFF. All rights reserved.

Louisville – Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13) will join volunteers in a very special effort on Saturday, February 1st when "Shop and Share" gets underway across the Commonwealth of Kentucky to help the victims of domestic violence.
"I want to encourage others to volunteer for this wonderful event spearheaded by Kentucky's First Lady Jane Beshear to assist families who are experiencing the trauma of Domestic Violence," says Welch.
"Shop and Share" has a very simple premise. If you go to a Kroger, Food City or Super Dollar Discount Foods on Saturday, February 1st as you do your own shopping it is hoped you buy a few extra items to be shared with domestic violence shelters throughout the state. The event runs between 9:00am and 5:00pm.
Councilwoman Welch will join volunteers in District 13 at the Kroger on New Cut Road from 12:00pm to 4:00pm on the 1st.
"Our city is fortunate to have the Center for Women and Families as a refuge in time of need," says Welch. "Many occasions women and/or families leave their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Anything we can do to obtain personal items is a great help to them."Joining the First Lady in sponsoring "Shop and Share" are the Kentucky Commission on Women, Kentucky General Federation of Women's Clubs, Kentucky Drug Court, Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana and Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road.

From the E to the I to the M: Keeping Up with Tech Naming
With the impending Internet of Things changing conversations across industries, many organizations are focused on developing their first "connected" products. From cars to door knobs, just about everyone is exploring how Wi-Fi or cellular capabilities will provide a higher order of value to their customers.
And with these new innovations, brands want to let everyone know they are a part of this new ecosystem. The natural place to start is naming. But that's where brands need to be careful.
This is the third time in 15 years a new technology, or technology trend, has reached a large enough scale to disrupt non-tech categories. Each time, names have gravitated to a kind of shorthand. First came the e-names and then the Apple-inspired i-names. So it's not surprising that we are hearing about m-names as mobile (or M2M) technology is integrated.
The challenge with adopting the latest tech trends in your naming approach is the speed of tech adoption. In a year or two, innovation will more than likely be recast as tablestakes—and your name might not hold up to changing expectations.
Names that signal the technology can be a viable strategy. When technology takes on a new role, consumers need to change their behavior. And so, first-to-market names need to help with the heavy lifting of customer education. A good example: IBM. With e-business, IBM picked a name (and message) that would reassure their customers it would still be "business as usual," just with the added efficiencies of being managed electronically.
Here's the risk: as fast followers join with similar capabilities and take on the same naming convention, your name will get lost in a sea of sameness. To see where you might be a few years down the road, one only needs to look at the names that were prevalent at CES 2013—ipotty, isockets, iWatch Life, Energi .
Mobile, connected, smart—these kinds of words will not help brands differentiate themselves from one another for long. So, as you consider what your name can credibly claim today, be certain to stretch beyond today's functionality. It will help you to stay ahead of the curve and connect with tomorrow's demand.
This week's guest author, Fell Gray, is Senior Director of Verbal Identity for Interbrand New York. She is also the practice leader for Brand Voice.

A Bloody Good Time 09.13.12: The Crow Franchise Breakdown
Posted by
Joseph Lee

Victims, aren't we all?

Soul Exodus
Welcome to A Bloody Good Time.
Last week I looked at supernatural superheroes. Let's see some feedback.
Everything you said about Blade is dead on true. Without it and the success it had, Batman and Robin would have been the last comic movie we had for quite some time. We definitely would not be at a point now where we had the Nolan Batman Trilogy just finish and the first Avengers having been a new release.
That's why it really was smart to test the waters with a minor, obscure character like Blade. If it failed, they could point to the fact that Blade wasn't a popular character while working on something else. It gave them the confidence to put out
, which really kicked the door open for the glut of superhero movies we're now in.
Really looking forward to next week's Column. The Crow is one of my favorite films ever (easily Top Five of all times) and even the horrible sequels couldn't destroy the awesomeness of the first film.
But man they sure do come close.
Benjamin J. Colon
added about
Hellboy 2
Even more amazing is that it did that well mostly in it's opening week, getting VERY regrettably swallowed by The Dark Knight, which happened to open the week after. Had it come out at a different time in 2008 or maybe even a year before or after, it might've had much more sustained success in theaters, which is a damn shame because it's one of Del Toro's best, second only to Pan's Labyrinth.
Yeah the success it had even in the face of the juggernaut that was TDK speaks volumes about the love of the character and the strength of Del Toro's work. Which is why it's even more puzzling that it's been four years now and still no sequel.
This week, I am taking on the entire
movie franchise. This resulted in me having to refresh my memory and suffer through the sequels again. If there's one thing you can seemingly count on Dimension for, it's the destruction of a franchise. They did it with
, they made the
films worse than they are (not really a fan) and they somehow took a somewhat simple story (person is wrongly killed along with loved one, comes back to get vengeance) in
The Crow
and never seemed to get it right more than once.
I'll admit right now to never having read James O'Barr's work. Since this is a film column, I don't think I'm required to, but I do regret not having some perspective when it comes to the source material. But with that said, I'm not sure many people have ever read the source material. I know that it's popular and has a cult following, but most people know this franchise by the first movie. It's not like say,
The Avengers
when people have probably seen those characters before. I'm not disparaging the comics in any way, just pointing out how when something becomes popular, sometimes the adaptation erases the source from the public consciousness, which is more likely to happen if the source wasn't well-known to begin with.
O'Barr's original story focuses on Eric (he wouldn't get his last name until the film) and Shelley, who are killed by a group of criminals after their car breaks down. Eric is brought back by a crow and begins to murder them one by one to "put the wrong things right". O'Barr wrote the comic after his girlfriend died because of a drunk driver. When I said it wasn't as well-known as the film, I certainly didn't mean it wasn't popular. It still has a following today and IDW has begun publishing a new series. All I meant was that the film has taken on a life of its own.
I sometimes wonder if all the people who slam
The Dark Knight
and say it's only popular because of Heath Ledger's death say the same thing about
The Crow
. Both were big successes and both featured the death of the star before the film was released, in what was arguably their best performance. Sometimes a good movie is just a good movie and the fact that someone died shouldn't affect your opinion one way or another.
But it doesn't change the fact that Brandon Lee dying during the filming of
The Crow
does affect the movie. He's playing a dead man who comes back to life to avenge a wrongful death. At one point Eric Draven actually says "I'm dead, and I move". It gives the entire film a haunting vibe that for better or worse no other film in the series was able to match. Better because, obviously, no one else died. Worse because it's impossible to manufacture that kind of tragic tone that Lee's death gave the film. It's sad to say, as the film should be judged on its own merits, but it's true.
But Lee's death isn't the only reason this film is popular. It's a part of why the film was good, because of that sense of tragedy you get from the mood, but it's not all of it. Alex Proyas direction and ability to set up brilliant shots adds a lot to this. It's a style he would perfect in
Dark City
and one that none of the other filmmakers were able to replicate. Lee's performance, even if he didn't die, is still really, really good. You could tell Lee had a charisma if you've seen any of his other films, but it's nothing compared to the fun he's having here. He just owns the movie every time he's on screen and this is clearly a part he was born to play. Speaking of fun roles, I'm also a huge fan of Michael Wincott as Top Dollar. A combination of a witty script and a man playing a villain role with just the right amount of scenery chewing makes for a great time.
The Crow
's legacy is more than just ruining every
party for years and years to come. It's a dark superhero done 100% right. With Hollywood screwing up other really dark properties like
Ghost Rider
, they did get this story right once and the film still stands the test of time. And even with all the killing and violence, there is still an overwhelming feeling of hope at the end and the message that love is more powerful than anything. You didn't see that in
The Avengers
The film itself was a huge success. Critics loved it; as of today it has an 83% on RT. The critical consensus is:
Filled with style and dark, lurid energy, The Crow is an action-packed visual feast that also has a soul in the performance of the late Brandon Lee.
. Financially, it made $144 million on a budget of only $23. It managed to earn back its budget six times over, which is impressive.
But as things often go in Hollywood, that meant a sequel would happen.
I'm not exactly sure what went wrong with
The Crow: City of Angels
(1996), but I've read that it had to do a lot with studio involvement. You would think that for a story like this, it's easy to make a sequel. Wrong another person, bring them back, make sure you're not ripping off the original story. Yet, not a single one of these sequels (and I'd argue the TV series too) manages to do the original story justice. While
City of Angels
isn't the worst in the series, it's a great example of how the first film could have ended very, very badly. At some point I'd love to see the workprint version of this film just to see how badly it was destroyed in the editing room.
This film focuses on Ashe Corven, who is killed with his son when they witness a murder. He is guided through his mission not only by the crow, but by Sarah (the little girl from the original), who has grown up to be Mia Kirshner and works at a tattoo parlor. The film depicts Los Angeles not as a real town, but a post-apocalyptic wasteland out of a fairy tale. Compare this to the original, set in Detroit, where it's just a normal city where crime is out of hand. The Los Angeles of this film is more like something out of
Mad Max
One thing that
City of Angels
manages to get right is Vincent Perez, who does his very best to make his own mark in the role. He doesn't succeed all of the time, but the moments where he is alone and mourning are very good and make me wonder what could have been. Iggy Pop is fun too, but in the wrong movie. It's a shame he turned down a role in the first film because he would have fit right in.
This movie just feels more like a rehash of the original and a blatant cash-in. It doesn't have the hopeful message at the end of the original and it never once manages to establish any kind of dark mood. Things just sort of happen. The final fight between Judah and Ashe is very ridiculous as somehow a murder of crows arrive to make Judah disappear from the face of the Earth. It also manages to kill off Sarah for no real reason other than to show that she is prophetic. It's mostly a mess. But hey, it does have the Yellow Power Ranger as a villain. So there's that.
Financially, it only made $25 million from a $13 million budget. It was only a minor success, which along with the panning by critics ($12% on RT), pretty much doomed any more sequels to straight to video releases.
Between the second and third films there was
The Crow: Stairway to Heaven
. A show about the series is something that again, could work, if you stretch out the victim's hunt over the course of several episodes. This series focuses more on the quest for redemption, when if you're adapting the story of Eric Draven, doesn't make much sense compared to the first film. The series seeks to turn him into something of a superhero or Sam Beckett character, helping others instead of working on his own unfinished business. It's fine for a TV series, I guess, but it's not exactly the point of the story.
If you ignore that, the series is okay. It unfortunately decided to tell the tale of Eric Draven and as such was never going to live up to the first film and Brandon Lee's performance, no matter how good Mark Dacascos may or may not be. I know why they picked Draven (he's more well known, and Ashe Corven's movie bombed) but they could have easily told the story they wanted to tell with new characters.
The show ran for one season of twenty-two episodes, and was cancelled even with decent ratings and a positive reception from fans. You can, however, watch the entire series on Hulu if you want.
The next film in the series happened in 2000,
The Crow: Salvation
. Truth be told, it isn't that bad. It's certainly not what I would call good, but it's okay. The benefit of this film is that it tries to do something different and it has a large cast of character actors that really make it better than it probably should be. Dale Midkiff, Fred Ward, Walton Goggins and William Atherton are one strong supporting group of characters. Midkiff in particular seems to be having fun as a corrupt cop.
I enjoy the story of a man who is wrongly convicted of his girlfriend's murder being executed then coming back to find out who did it. I like the fact he's tricked into thinking his mission is complete so that he loses his powers. These are new twists on the story, something that sets
apart from
City of Angels
. It tries to tell its own tale and that helps.
What doesn't help is seemingly everything else. Eric Mabius isn't that great in the role. He switches from somber to hamming it up at the drop of the hat and never really seems to pick a tone. The script itself has some bad dialogue and decides to make Mabius more of a one-liner spewing anti-hero than a serious vigilante trying to clear his name. Then there's the supporting cast. They're good, but they don't have much time to show that. Goggins in particular, who has since proven he can act the hell out of a scene, is just a bit player. Atherton is quiet and reserved and doesn't get much time to shine.
is more of a mixed bag. It's not as bad as either sequel before or after it but it doesn't come close to reaching the original. It's just mediocre, bordering on average. Critics seem to agree, as it has a 22% on RT with the consensus:
The Crow: Salvation adds nothing new to the series and is plagued by bad acting and dialogue.
Then there's this.
This is not just a bad
movie, this would definitely make the list of some of the worst films I've ever seen. I have no idea what went wrong here and I have no idea if anything could have fixed it. This is a film that is so bad, it manages to drag its cast kicking and screaming to its level. For example,
has taught me that I can rely on David Boreanaz to give a fun performance as a villain. He starts out that way, but by the end of the film he's just as annoying and bad as the rest of them.
Edward Furlong is the title character and...he never seems like he cares. Part of me wants to believe that is by design, that Jimmy Cuervo is so disturbed by being undead that he just wants to finish his mission and go back to the afterlife. But Furlong plays him as disinterested. He says his lines in a bored manner and never once do you sympathize with his character, something that the other films in the series were at least able to accomplish.
But it's the casting of Tara Reid and Dennis Hopper that really confuse me. Reid because she's a notoriously bad actress and Hopper because...he's just woefully miscast. He plays a pimp who talks like a rapper with every line, calling people "homey" this and "shorty" that. He refers to Satan as the "O.G.". It's either stupid because it's unintentionally hilarious or stupid because they meant for it to be funny and comedy does not belong in this kind of movie.
Going back to
Stairway of Heaven
, Jimmy Cuervo is a character who could have had the "redemption" storyline. He's a murderer (killing a man who tried to rape his girlfriend) and comes back after he and his girlfriend are killed. Why is his mission just a mission of vengeance instead of redeeming his soul? The movie seems like it wants to go there, but instead goes right back into the formula of killing another bad guy, wash, rinse and repeat.
Wicked Prayer
effectively killed the franchise and most people probably weren't aware it was even released until years later. Like the later
sequels, it was just dumped on to DVD after sitting in Dimension's vault for years after it was finished.
Now there's talk of a remake. Honestly? This series needs a reboot. The original is still there and is still great. If three disappointing to bad sequels couldn't tarnish the memory of the first film then a remake certainly won't. I think it has a chance to be good if it ever gets off the ground, but (again), like the reboot of
(which is a movie that doesn't need to happen), Dimension just can't get anything going. I know there's another great
story ready to be made into film. The series cannot end on Dennis Hopper's impression of what white people think rappers talk like.
That's it for me. Leave some comments here on or my
. Next week, we will look at another franchise. This time it's a ranking edition as I count down the
series from worst to best. And as always I've got something extra special lined up for October so be looking forward to that in three weeks.

SANDPOINT, Idaho -- The Sandpoint Fire Fighters are a little harrier than normal these days.
For 27 days and counting, fire crews have been growing out mustaches like a lot of others world-wide.
It is part of a month-long global event called "Movember". The event raises money and awareness for men's health concerns like prostate and testicular cancer.
The fire fighters are hosting a fundraiser Wednesday night at Mack and Duffs Brewing Company in downtown Sandpoint.
The event is $10 for people with a mustache and $15 for those without facial hair.
The guys said they'll shave come December 1.

Reduce Exhaust Noise up to 75%
Reduce Carbon Monoxide at least 90%
Does not interfere with boat handling or performance.
Does not change the shape of the wake.
FAE Pictures
The Carbon Monoxide reduction with Fresh Air Exhaust is ASTONISHING.
The Centers for Disease Control conducted a study of Fresh Air Exhaust for the U.S. Coast Guard and reported a reduction of boat carbon monoxide of at least 90%
Frequently, after a day on the lake, we feel irritable, nauseous, or have a headache. We typically blame the sun, the wind, the beer, a hard fall, or simply exhaustion. We may be experiencing the subtle toxic effects of Carbon Monoxide. Engine exhaust and Carbon Monoxide are pulled into the back of the boat due to the Station Wagon Effect. Click here to see the "Station Wagon Effect" Video.
The Station Wagon Effect is aggravated by:
The effects of Carbon Monoxide are cumulative; the longer your exposure, the greater the health risk. Inboard boats are inherently safe, yet they all produce dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide; even boats with Ultra Low Emission engines.
Children, the elderly, and anyone with asthma or other lung condition are especially vulnerable.
Pregnant women need to be extra cautious because the developing fetus is particularly susceptible to Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
The following graph shows average Carbon Monoxide levels at 10 mph. The red lines show the levels of Carbon Monoxide with a standard exhaust. The level at the swim platform can exceed 1000 ppm. The small green lines show the levels of Carbon Monoxide with Fresh Air Exhaust installed; these levels were 1 ppm average.
Please see the "Station Wagon Effect" Video.
Independent testing and customer reviews report that Fresh Air Exhaust reduces boat engine exhaust noise between 50 to 75%. Testing has demonstrated that Fresh Air Exhaust is the quietest exhaust system available. At the top of this page is a Flash program where you can hear a boat with and without FAE.
Click here to install the latest Adobe Flash Player on your computer; for free.
Fresh Air Exhaust sucks the exhaust out of the engine so there is no loss in engine performance. The following chart shows boat speed, with and without FAE. The typical boat loses one to two MPH of top end speed due to the small amount of drag from the part of the FAE in the water.
Also, fuel consumption is unchanged.
As the boat moves forward, the water flowing past FAE creates a venturi and the exhaust is literally Sucked out of the engine. The venturi suction reaches 50 mph. Watch the "FAE Sucks" video to see this demonstrated.
Our customers tell us that the boat's wake is essentially unchanged for slalom, wakeboarding and wake surfing and that boat handling is also unchanged.
The FAE testing shown in the graphs and pictures above were performed on a 2001 Tige 20i with a Mercruiser 350 Mag engine, measured by GPS and electronic fuel monitor. This engine is typical though your results may vary.
There are over 950 FAE installed, including several by boat manufacturers and there have been NO performance or warranty issues.
Does FAE interfere with boat handling or my wake?
Do I have to remove FAE to wakeboard?
Can I still trailer my boat with FAE installed?
Do I have to modify my existing exhaust system to mount FAE?
Do I have to drill holes in my boat to mount FAE?
Can my FAE hit the bottom of the lake?
My boat has an "Ultra Low Emissions" engine. Is there still a risk of CO poisoning?
Will FAE interfere with my boat warranty?

Absolutely Awesome!
It works so well I almost forget it's even there.
Thanks. You have the best customer service hands down.
Working great, very quiet, some of the best money I've spent on the boat.
I recently installed the FAE system on my 2004 Malibu Sunsetter Lxi. I needed to reduce the noise level on my boat as the neighbors on my small lake were upset about our early morning weekend slalom course skiing. The installation was easy, the support was great and the noise level of the boat is down considerably. No more complaints. The slalom wake is not affected, nor is the handling or acceleration.
Since installing Fresh Air Exhaust my boat is 75% quieter and the handling has been transparent. I don't even know that it's there. I am also greatly relieved that the issue of CO has been virtually solved. The passengers in the rear of my boat are safer than ever before.
Wake surfing is a new pleasure now. The exhaust fumes are eliminated and we are no longer sucking on 'em. Exhaust noise is greatly reduced and is very easy to talk to the person surfing, the stereo is much easier to hear and the wakeboard wake is unchanged. I am extremely pleased with the performance, construction and finish. Thanks for your professional customer service. Great product!
Great system installed this weekend worked great and sounds super or doesn't sound super. unbelievable.
All I can say is WOW!!! The FAE on my 1999 Wakesetter made a HUGE difference. It has always been very loud. The engine noise at Full Throttle was very Overwhelming, especially to my stereo system. I often Video Record boarders. The camera I use is a High Def Sony with a Hard Drive. The very loud low frequency sound of the engine often caused a buffer underrun error while recording.
With the FAE installed I can BARELY hear the engine. I videoed all day with absolutely no problems with hard drive errors. The most prevalent noise now is the water splashing the side of the boat. Even at Full Throttle, you can barely hear the engine. I can't believe how much of a difference it makes. It would be safe to say that it's at least 75%-80% quieter and there is no more exhaust fumes for the Wakesurfers!!

Ok guys, I have an assignment that I have to finish by monday preferably. I need to have a RSS feed page that would display RSS feeds from like 8-10 sources and then I have to randomly pick like 3 of them and place them on home page or sth else.
I have been looking at some links here:
to name a few, and also been trying to figure out some modules like SS_RSS_Feed_Manager and RSS connector.
I am trying to make some sense out of this, but could use some help.
Since I'm kinda new to SS and PHP I would bee grateful if you could assist me in a best way to do this.
I have precious little time to complete this so I can't try out all the options before me, so mby if you could point me in right direction, if not provide me with a solution

Hey mate,
I am sorry for not answering you sooner. Haven't rly looked at this post in a while, but seems like it may be just what I'm looking for.
I guess I would have to dl silverpie and another thing, the source is somehow connected with $feed = new SimplePie("http://www.yourdomain.com/rss.xml", TEMP_FOLDER); line, I just didn't figure out what is TEMP_FOLDER?
Re: RSS Feeds
26 May 2011 at 8:53pm
Just to clarify, should I make a folder named TEMP_FOLDER or what? cause I tried what you showed me and for some reason dev/build won't make this page type, it just keeps ignoring it each time I try.
Re: RSS Feeds
27 May 2011 at 2:27am
Actually I didn't do anything specially about temp_folder when I used this code. It just worked.
But I think it points to tmp folder in the file system. Silverstripe uses this folder for cache and other purposes, unless you create a folder named silverstripe-cache. Maybe tmp folder is not writable because of security issues. You can try to create a folder in the root of your web site and name it silverstripe-cache. (in the same level with mysite, assets etc.) And make this folder writable.
I hope it helps.

Yeah, it is working perfectly, I actually did a lot of work with this today and it has helped me a lot.
The problem wasn't with TEMP_FOLDER but I just copy-pasted ur code when trying it out and forgot to put <?php at the begining of .php file so that is the reason it didn't work.
Kinda noobish mistake from me, but then again I am a noob with silverstripe, php and html But I think I'm a fast learner.
Anyways it is working for me, but I have other issues with it. I am pulling feed from numerous sources and each has it's own RSS feed format. Let me explain: under 'description' (this->get_description) there is all sorts of things - long texts, short texts; links; icons; "SPONSORED BY..." parts etc. Example:
http://rss.packetstormsecurity.org/files/ - the way I want it to be displayed
http://isc.sans.edu/rssfeed_full.xml - to much text - mby only show first paragraph
http://www.darkreading.com/rss/all.xml - perfect - the way I want it to be displayed
http://feeds.wired.com/wired/politics/security?format=xml - I don't want icons and blue links/text
http://feeds.feedburner.com/itsecurity?format=xml - would like not to display On-Demand Webinar > Watch Now!>>SPONSORED BY: Juniper Networks part (and simmilar)
Is there a way to show just the dirst paragraph of actual description? the "On-Demand Webinar > Watch Now!>>SPONSORED BY: Juniper Networks" on IT security would be ok if it is left there if all other feeds from other sources display nicely - how do you think would be the best way to dispay them?
Re: RSS Feeds
27 May 2011 at 3:28am
What data you get, it depends on the publisher
But you can get first paragraph with $Summary.FirstParagraph
Have a look at
You can maybe find some way to get just text without links and images =)
You can also hide images and other stuff with css display:none. But it will not be a nice method. If there are so many images.
<div id="rss-container">
and in css file
#rss-container img { display:none; }
Re: RSS Feeds
7 July 2011 at 9:16pm
Well having a problem with RSS.
$Summary.FirstParagraph doesn't work
I need sth fixed length to be able to fit into layout
RSS returns $Title, $Link and $Summary
Help plz

"Coachella Music Festival Saying Goodbye to Indio"? "
Not so fast.
Misleading and downright incorrect headlines about the future of Coachella Music and Arts Festival circled the web today.
They came from media like The Wrap and Huffington Post, two days after LAWeekly.com and Rollingstone.com picked up on The Desert Sun's exclusive story about the future of Coachella.
In reality, our original story detailed Goldenvoice's threat to find a new home for Coachella if a councilman's proposal to add a tax to festival tickets hit the ballot.
My colleague, Marcel Honoré, sets everyone straight.
Now, some of those sites have changed their headlines, and Huffington Post later corrected its report as "overstated."
Better yet: "Saying goodbye to Indio" may be even less likely now that Councilman Sam Torres says he'll drop his ticket tax proposal.

According to the report, a porn film, called "Kick Ass," and a file marked "Sexy Tanja" contained more than 100 al Qaeda documents, including terrorist training manuals in German, English and Arabic and plans to hijack cruise ships in Europe.
What they discovered encoded inside the actual video was a treasure trove of intelligence that included an inside track on some of the terror group's most audacious plots and a road map for future operations, CNN, citing Germany's Die Zeit newspaper, reported on Tuesday.
The 22-year old operative, identified as Maqsood Lodin, was interrogated by police in Berlin after returning from Pakistan via Budapest, CNN said.
His name was on a terror watch list when he was detained.
In one vague terror plot uncovered by investigators, cruise ship hijackers would put hostages in orange jumpsuitslike those worn by terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay and videotape their executions.
U.S. intelligence sources tell CNN that the documents uncovered are "pure gold;" one source says that they are the most important haul of al Qaeda materials in the last year, besides those found when U.S. Navy SEALs raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, a year ago and killed the al Qaeda leader. One document was called "Future Works." Its authorship is unclear, but intelligence officials believe it came from al Qaeda's inner core.
It may have been the work of Younis al Mauretani, a senior al Qaeda operative until his capture by Pakistani police in 2011.
The document appears to have been the product of discussions to find new targets and methods of attack. German investigators believe it was written in 2009 -- and that it remains the template for al Qaeda's plans.
Investigative journalist Yassin Musharbash, a reporter with the German newspaper Die Zeit, was the first to report on the documents. One plan: to seize passenger ships. According to Musharbash, the writer "says that we could hijack a passenger ship and use it to pressurize the public."
Musharbash takes that to mean that the terrorists "would then start executing passengers on those ships and demand the release of particular prisoners."
The plan would include dressing passengers in orange jump suits, as if they were al Qaeda prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and then videotaping their execution.
Lodin and a man called Yusuf Ocak, who allegedly traveled back to Europe with him, are now on trial in Berlin where they are pleading not guilty. Ocak was detained in Vienna two weeks after Lodin's arrest.
According to a senior Western counterterrorism official, their names were on a watch list, and when they handed over documents at a European border crossing, their names registered with counterterrorism agencies.
Both men have pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges. Ocak is also charged with helping to form a group called the German Taliban Mujahedeen, and is alleged to have made a video for the group threatening attacks in Germany.
Prosecutors believe the pair met at a terrorist training camp in Pakistan's tribal territories and were sent back to Europe to recruit a network of suicide bombers.
"We do not know what those men were up to but there are certain files of information that would make it plausible that they were probably thinking of a Mumbai-style attack," says Musharbash.
In the fall of 2010, a year after the document was written, European intelligence agencies were scrambling to investigate a Mumbai-style plot involving German and other European militants -- which sparked an unprecedentedU.S. State Departmenttravel warning for Americans in Europe.
"I think it is plausible to think that the 'Future Works' document is part of that particular project," says Musharbash.
"Future Works" suggests al Qaeda was an organization under great pressure, without a major attack to its name in several years, harried by Western intelligence. If anything, its predicament is even more dire today.
"The document delivers very clearly the notion that al Qaeda knows it is being followed very closely," Musharbash tells CNN. "It specifically says that Western intelligence agencies have become very good at spoiling attacks, that they have to come up with new ways and better plotting."
Part of the response, according to the document, should be to train European jihadists quickly and send them home -- rather than use them as fighters in Afghanistan and Pakistan -- with instructions on how to keep in secret contact with their handlers.
What emerges from the document is a twin-track strategy -- with the author apparently convinced that al Qaeda needs low-cost, low-tech attacks (perhaps such as the recent gun attacks in France carried out by Mohammed Merah) to keep security services preoccupied while it plans large-scale attacks on a scale similar to9/11.
Those already under suspicion in Europe and elsewhere would be used as decoys, while others would prepare major attacks.
That is yet to materialize, but Musharbash believes a complex gun attack in Europe is still on al Qaeda's radar.
"I believe that the general idea is still alive and I believe that as soon as al Qaeda has the capacities to go after that scenario, they will immediately do it," he says.
While "Future Works" does not include dates or places, nor specific plans, it appears to be a brainstorming exercise to seize the initiative -- and reinstate al Qaeda on front pages around the world.

Veolia: A turnaround in water and waste
Cost-cutting and restructuring set the stage for a recovery at this global waste treatment firm.
Veolia Environnement (VE) is based in Paris and traces its roots back to 1853; the firm provides environmental services to government and commercial customers around the globe.
Under a previous CEO, the company went on a debt-fueled acquisition binge in the mid-2000's. Then the 2008 recession hit many of Veolia's customers hard, forcing them to cut back their purchases of the company's services. Veolia has struggled to rebuild its revenues and profits ever since.
Veolia is refocusing its business to concentrate on a few core competencies in areas with strong growth prospects. It is divesting several non-core operations and using the proceeds to reduce debt. At the same time it is cutting costs and streamlining operations in the remaining business divisions.
The company is getting out of the transportation sector entirely, and is divesting its U.K. regulated water business and its U.S. solid waste operations.
It expects to receive proceeds of about 5 billion euros, much of which will be used to reduce the company's net debt load from nearly 15 billion euros to below 12 billion.
After the divestitures, Veolia will focus on water treatment, solid waste management and energy services. All of these services are likely to be in growing demand in both the developed and emerging economies. Management is reorganizing and streamlining operations. This is expected to save 225 million euros this year and 270 million in 2013.
Even as they laud Veolia's restructuring program many investors are shying away from Veolia because of its European location and focus. When Europe eventually comes back into investors' good graces, that could magnify the positive effect that the restructuring program is likely to have on the stock price.
In the meantime, Veolia is committed to maintaining a generous dividend. While European dividends can be more variable than in the U.S., and they may be subject to withholding taxes in some circumstances, it is likely that Veolia's dividend will add meaningfully to the total return in the stock.
We particularly like Veolia's strong position in the water treatment market because water is becoming an increasingly valuable resource around the world. And we believe that the actions currently being taken by the company position it well for the future.

Hello again ---- Rebecca J. Dills married A. W. Adkins in 1867 in Tazewell County, Virginia. A. W. Adkins was listed as Wilburn A. Adkins in 1870, in Linn County, Kansas, with Rebecca, children, and Dills family members. He was listed as A. W. Adkins in 1880 at Fontana in Miami County, Kansas, with his second wife and two of the same children that were listed in 1870. ----- He died in 1885 in Los Animas County, Colorado. (Findagrave.com memorial # 94805236) His second wife is listed as a young widow on the 1885 Los Animas County, Colorado State census. ------- It is the Denver, Colorado city directory from 1926 that list his 2nd wife as the widow of Addison W. Adkins. ------ The first and second names of a person are often interchanged in census reports. This happens frequently for some reason.

new Edit tab
On this page up in the right hand corner is a tab that says Edit click ( it might have a number under it indicating the number you have to review ) on it., a drop down menu will show you the edits people has sent you ,it will also show what they wont changed , you accept or reject or ignore . You can click on the name and look at the memorial to review it .
Here is how F.A.G. explains it .
What is the new Edit tab on my contributor page?
We currently are working to update our "Suggest A Correction/Submit an Edit" system. At this time, Find A Grave contributors may submit updates to the Name, Birth and Death Dates and Locations, and Plot fields via a new Edit System. When they submit edits to any of those fields, the managing contributor will no longer receive an email notification. These edits are now waiting for the managing contributor's review on their Contributor Page.
To review edits to these fields that have been submitted for memorials you manage, go to your 'Contributor Tools' and click on the 'Edits' tab.
The edits awaiting your approval will be listed with a link to the memorial page, the public name of the contributor who submitted the edit and the date it was submitted, and the information currently in the field and the suggested updated information for the field. There is then the option to Accept, Decline, or Ignore the submitted edit. If you Accept the edit, the changes will automatically be made for you and the person who submitted the update will receive an email confirming that the edits were made. If you Decline the edit, you will need to select a reason why you are declining it, and the changes will not be made the person who submitted the update will receive an email with the reason why you declined it. If you Ignore the edit, it will stay in your queue for your later review.
In the near future, we hope to add the ability to submit relationship links via this system. We will also have a time limit on the processing of edits, so that the memorials of contributors who are no longer active on Find A Grave may still be updated. As part of the time-limit feature, contributors who have edits in their queue for a certain number of days will receive an email notification about the pending edits waiting review.
The new system should save contributors a lot time in making edits to their memorials, as the managing contributor will no longer have to search for the memorial page, open the edit feature, search for city locations, etc. It will automatically go through with the contributor's approval.
If you need further assistance just holler ,by it really self explaining ,as you do them.
at the bottom of the drop down pg is a button to click on and it will approve all them at once or if you have ignored or rejected any it will leave them . I think if you reject any it will ask the reason. They also can add links now by this method .
If you need further assistance just holler ,by it really self explaining ,as you do them,or do a few .

Agree, I don't think they should be denied the rights given to heterosexual couples, I think people should just let them do it, it's not really any of our business. Must say I don't understand the attraction of another man but each to their own.Originally Posted by masterblaster
I think gay couples should be allowed to marry.
If a couple were barred from marrying because they were mixed race there would (rightly) be an outcry; to me barring gay couples from marrying is denying them a basic human right.

The New England Patriots opened as a small favorite 3.5 point over the New York Giants with the Superbowl odds and that is likely to fluctuate in the two weeks leading up to game day as this looks to be an even matchup. It is so even that it may come down to a last second score as was the case four years ago when the Giants upset the Patriots on a touchdown in the final seconds to shatter the Patriots dreams of an undefeated 19-0 season.
A majority of the players from that game are gone but the makeup and style of the two teams makes for what looks to be an even matchup in the Superbowl. Just seven New England Patriots return from that 2007 Super Bowl team while 12 Giants are back this time around.
The big difference in this game is what has not changed and that is quarterback Eli Manning of the Giants and quarterback Tom Brady of the Patriots. In Manning's case he has emerged as a quarterback that is no longer under question about his elite status, as was the case four years ago, and is now secure in his place as a respected leader, clutch performer, and picture passer.
For Brady the road grows ever closer to a first ballot Hall of Fame spot in Canton, Ohio. Brady is without question the best quarterback in the game, an efficient machine like winner that puts the Pats in position year after year.
The ownership contrast is quite interesting between the teams as Tim Mara heads the Giants group with the Mara family being in charge of the Giants for a third generation. The Mara's are the ultimate old school ownership clan in that they are low key and let the product on the field speak for itself. With coach Tom Coughlin, as button down of a coach as there is, the Mara's have the perfect company man leading the team on the gridiron.

The European Union will give 5.9 million United States Dollars to help preserve Auschwitz, the former Nazi death camp which, more than six decades after World War II, is in a state of serious disrepair. Rafal Pioro, who heads Auschwitz's conservation department, said the EU recently promised the money to fund badly needed repairs to the camp's structures. Museum officials and others are struggling to preserve Auschwitz - a vast complex of barbed wire, gas chambers, barracks and watchtowers, that stands as historical evidence and as a symbol of Nazi evil. The site gets about 1 million visitors per year.
"[The grant] is significant and will let us get started on our complex work on the camp," Pioro said Thursday. But he estimated the total preservation project will cost about 200 million zlotys ($64 million). Work is scheduled to begin this August. More than 1 million people, mostly Jews, died in the gas chambers or through forced labor, disease or starvation at the camp, which the Nazis built after occupying Poland.

Everyone is welcome at EA meetings and we do not differentiate between types of problems, nor do we judge. EA members do not give each other advice or counseling. EA members come together to share experiences, feelings and to admit we are powerless over our emotions. No one is forced to speak and may "pass" at the meeting. EA is not guaranteed to make you well, or have permanent recovery. It is designed to help you attain emotional stability in the moment, to help you where you are in your life.
The group meets at Elkhart General Hospital on Monday evenings at 6 p.m. in Classroom 2. Please call 574-523-3347 for more information.

Forthcoming Meetings
The School Research Ethics Committee (SREC) will be meeting on the following dates this academic year. Applicants should arrange to send their application documents to Deborah Watkins (email@example.com) two weeks before the relevant meeting date. Applications will be circulated to Committee members for review in advance of the meeting. Following the meeting, applicants will receive an email followed by a letter confirming the Committee's decision on their application. Should an applicant be asked to provide further information to the Committee before a decision can be made, then this will be dealt with via Chair's Action as soon as possible and certainly before the next meeting of the Committee.
The Committee does not normally interview the researcher or request their attendance when the proposal is considered, although it may invite the researcher to attend if it is believed that this would assist the Committee. Researchers may also request the opportunity to address the Committee. Members of the Committee must withdraw from consideration of any submission in which they are researchers or supervisors.
