Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC) is demanding that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger put the money back that he and others borrowed from California's Recycling Funds and put into the General Funds as a "loan".
California's recycling funds have been completely drained. Legislation to rectify this situation, SB 402, was passed by the California state legislature, and would have restored over $131 million in cuts to funding for recycling programs that organizations like OCCC rely upon, but the bill was recently vetoed by Governor Schwarzenegger. The Orange County Conservation Corps is calling on its supporters to contact the Governor and legislators to request that the State restore California's Recycling Funds.
The Governor's own veto message surprisingly agrees that the fix to this situation would be to put the money back:
"Additionally, subsequent legislation on this issue should contain provisions that prohibit any additional loans to the General Fund in the future and require the General Fund to repay past loans from this program."
There is almost a half of a billion dollars that is still owed to the Recycling Fund, over half of that amount from Governor Schwarzenegger alone. The lack of repayment has resulted in the below partial list of negative impacts:
Impacts to Orange County Conservation Corps:
- 100% reduction in OCCC recycling funding, which accounts for half of OCCC's annual budget.
- Eliminated safe havens for at risk young adults (high school dropouts, gang involved youth, drug addicts) seeking a neutral sanctuary while attempting to leave a destructive lifestyle behind.
- Eliminated 22 paying, job training positions for disadvantaged youth in O.C.
- Laid off 7 teachers, green job trainers, and other support staff.
- Eliminated recycling service for over 50% of OCCC sponsors, including small California businesses and schools; most of whom will now need to pay for outside disposal services.
Impacts to California Local Conservation Corps:
- Put 300 at risk youth between 18-25 years old back on the streets in California neighborhoods.
- Laid off 75 teachers, green job trainers, and other support staff.
- Eliminated recycling service at nearly 800 small California businesses
- Eliminated recycling programs at dozens of California schools.
- Cancelled expansion of green job training programs in underserved counties throughout the California.
Additional Impacts to California Recycling:
- Cancelled recycling services for low income communities, multi family
housing units, and high litter areas.
- California green jobs training programs lost over $3.3 million in leveraged funding.
- Eliminated litter reduction education and outreach.
- Eliminated recycling and litter pickup at California's large venues and special events, such as community parades, college and pro football games, and fairs.
- Cut funding for California's recycling program and allowed billions of bottles and cans to be land filled or littered in our streets, parks, and oceans rather than recycled.
- The likely closure of up to 1,100 supermarket based recycling centers.
- Elimination of up to 5,000 recycling related green jobs.
- Elimination of more than $85 million in funding for local government, nonprofit, and private sector recycling and litter cleanup activities.
- An increase of roughly $100 million in costs for beverages.
"To clarify, this bill would not have been critical to the survival of recycling in California if the money had not been taken from the recycling fund (and put into the General Fund) in the first place. They call it a "loan", but it has yet to be paid back, and the people of California (who contribute to this fund through deposits on bottles and cans) have seen no terms to do so." said Max Carter, Executive Director at OCCC.

Stampeders defence an impenetrable Wall
Jamar Wall was questionable for most of the week.
There was nothing questionable about his play.
The Calgary Stampeders all-star defensive back was his usual air-tight self in coverage as part of a dominating defensive performance.
He even got in on the offence late in the first half.
Wall jumped a sideline rout, picked off Jonathon Jennings' pass and took it 42 yards to the house for a touchdown that made it 32-0 with just 18 seconds left in the half.
Game, set and match.
"It definitely took some confidence away," Wall said, as if there was any confidence remaining on the visitor's side at that point.
"They're trying to get a quick three points or something.
"I definitely think that took the wind out of their sails."
Wall's pick-six put a neat, tidy bow on what had to be the best half of football the team has played this season.
And that's saying something because there have been plenty of great halves in 2016.
The 28-year-old was quick to talk about fallen teammate Mylan Hicks, who was murdered two months ago in a senseless shooting outside a nightclub.
As players posed for selfies with the West Division championship trophy and Hicks' No. 31 jersey, Wall said his interception was dedicated to Hicks' family, especially his mom Renee.
"Big time," Wall said of Hicks being a major motivational force. "Especially with me wearing his number. We want to make this special and get (his family) a ring.
"Then I was able to get a big play. I came off, looked in the camera and said 'Renee (Hill), that's for you.' Hopefully she seen it, hopefully she heard it.
"If not, I'm going to make sure that she does and know that we're not forgetting him. We're making it special for him."
Wall changed his number from 29 to 31 immediately after the murder.
It was just one of many gestures the team has made over the past eight weeks.
Running back Jerome Messam wants to deliver one more win to his fallen friend.
"It feels great but we still have work to do," Messam said. "But he was with us tonight, smiling down on us."
Wall said his injured foot felt fine after the game and he didn't expect there to be any lingering effects leading up to the Grey Cup.
Just as he had no doubts about the West final.
"I told everyone before, 'Don't worry about it, I'm not going to put my team in jeopardy,' " Wall said. "I was confident in my ability to play.
"I knew I was going to be able to do what I do at a high level. And that's what happened."
The extra-long break gave Wall the chance to get healthy and the rest of his teammates a chance to take a well-deserved breather.
The Stamps hadn't had a bye since Week 4.
With a solid gameplan, ruthless execution and a little extra motivation from a locker that has remained empty, Sunday's outcome was never in doubt.
"We knew what was at stake," Wall said. "We have a group of older guys and we've been in this position before.
"We wanted to make this a special year.
"Nothing was going to stop us from doing that."

Uhhmm, probably not, to be frank.
Marcelo Audi, a Banco Santander analyst, wrote a research note in which he quotes Wilson Teixeira, the company's investor relations director, as saying that the food processor is considering financing offers from several lenders; Sadia is also studying how possible is getting rid of non-core assets to raise cash. Such assets include its brokerage-proprietary bank. Teixeira spoke during a conference call with analysts last week.
The Santander analyst sees possible that the company raises 1 billion reais in cash from all these actions. Would that save the company from becoming a takeover target? Only time will tell us.

Spring has sprung in Buenos Aires and with it polo season is in full swing. The weather was perfect yesterday for the first match of the Tortugas Open, a six-team tournament and the first jewel of the Triple Corona.
This year promises the same caliber of high-goal polo from the world's greatest players with the added intrigue of some lineup changes and new luxury brand corporate sponsors.
Last year's Triple Crown champion, Ellerstina, and Palermo Open runner-up, La Dolfina, will both compete in Tortugas beginning this weekend. Both teams bring new-look formations for 2011. Pablo Mac Donough (10) and Juan Martin Nero (10) have left Ellerstina to join forces with Adolfo Cambiaso (10) and David Stirling (9) at La Dolfina. Mac Donough and Nero replace Lucas Monteverde (9) and Bartolome Castagnola (9) who now form half of the new Estancia Grande team with Agustin (9) and Sebastian Merlos (9).
Estancia Grande will face Indios Chapaleufu II this afternoon for the second day of Tortugas. The winner automatically advances to face Ellerstina in the October 9 Semifinal, while the loser faces Ellerstina this weekend. The four Novillo Astrada brothers of La Aguada dominated Pilara yesterday in the opening match 12-8 and will now face La Dolfina in the October 8 Semifinal. The Tortugas Final will be contested on October 15 at 15:30.

(Washington, DC) – Representative Charlie Dent, Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies, released the following statement upon House passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of Fiscal Year 2016. The bill (House Amendment #1 to the Senate amendment to H.R. 2029) was advanced by the House of Representatives through a bipartisan vote of 316 – 113.
"Today the House delivered on its promise to care for our nation's veterans, servicemembers, and military families by providing an unprecedented level of funding for veteran services and healthcare. This bill will deliver a 9.8% increase for VA medical care, which includes a $4.7 billion increase for VA medical services in order to allow for approximately 7 million veterans to receive the high quality care and treatments that they have earned through their service and sacrifices. Among its highlights, this bill will make a minimum of $1.5 billion available for Hepatitis C treatments and cures within the next year; increase stipends for family caregivers of seriously injured post-9/11 veterans by more than 25% over the current levels; give the VA the funding it needs to help treat mental health care and reduce the prevalence of veteran suicide and homelessness; increase funding for traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatments; and move the VA closer to the establishment of an interoperable electronic health record system.
The bill will also ensure that veteran disability compensation and pension programs remain funded for the 5.2 million veterans and their survivors that depend on them, allow post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits to continue for over 935,000 veterans, and grant vocational rehabilitation and employment training for more than 137,000 veterans. VA mandatory programs like these will also enjoy the security of being advance-funded for Fiscal Year 2017 for the first time ever in order to provide our veterans and their families with the assurance that they will be cared for in the event of any broader lapse in government funding.
To address the VA's disability claims and appeals backlogs, the bill increases funding for processing disability claims by $173 million, provides the Board of Veterans Appeals with an $11 million increase, and supports further staff to focus specifically on working through these claims and appeals. This legislation also increases oversight of the VA and expands whistleblower protections in order to reduce and rebuke mismanagement at VA offices, medical centers, and construction projects.
Finally, this act will enhance our military's readiness, strengthen our global defense posture, and support our troops and their families at home and abroad by providing a 21 percent increase for military construction projects. Such initiatives will ensure quality housing remains available for nearly two million military families, maintain our military medical facilities, and strengthen our National Guard and Reserve facilities here at home.
These provisions have long enjoyed broad bipartisan support, and I am proud to have led the efforts to provide our veterans with this historic level of care. I look forward to continuing to work on behalf of our veterans and our men and women in uniform in Pennsylvania and around the world."

According to Detectives, four male black suspects went to the rear door of a residence on Washington Avenue and kicked the door in to enter. Suspect one was armed with a black handgun and ordered the six family members (ages 59, 55, 34, 31, 17, 17) to stay in one room. Suspect two entered the bedroom of a seventh family member, 34, and began to put the proceeds into a large black garbage bag. Then suspect one armed with the handgun and suspect three armed with a kitchen knife confronted the 34 year old male victim while he was upstairs. They forced him to his bedroom and a small confrontation ensued. Suspect one fired one shot into the ceiling of the bedroom and all four subjects fled the scene in a four door dark colored sedan. No injuries were reported. The proceeds from this crime included a Playstation4, iPad, laptop, speakers, miscellaneous clothing and miscellaneous DVD's and games. This investigation remains active and is ongoing at this time.
Detectives request anyone with information regarding this crime or the attached photo of one of the subjects involved in this crime to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.

Rihanna attended a private screening of Paramount Pictures' Tropic Thunder at the Regal Cinemas theater in New York City's Times Square on Tuesday night. The 20-year-old was accompanied by a few girlfriends and her bodyguard. She arrived just before the movie started and left before the ending credits finished. Chris Breezy was not in the mix. Above is a pic of her getting in her car. That hair is looking kinda rough...it may need to take a bow.
Jennifer Lopez was spotted leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel for her appointment at the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic on Tuesday.
Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day sang few numbers at the Barracuda bar in Chelsea, NYC on Tuesday. Aubrey, 24, made her Broadway debut last week as Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray. I love how all the DK girls are making moves and getting their own money, because clearly Bad Boy alone is not paying the bills!

In the long standing feud between man and mandolin, I found myself losing a battle this week. I lost the battle in front of my children too, who were happily playing around my feet during dinner prep.
That's the really troublesome part. My preferred pain killer is excessive swearing, but with the kids around I have to control my initial reactions. As I slammed my thumb through the blade, toddler on my foot at the time and five year old dancing around behind me, I shouted "Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!" It's like cursing, but not.
This is the point that the children swarmed me.
When they are hurt, an adult rushes to their side to asses damage and decide on what aide is needed. So they model the behavior they have seen time and time again. In this instance, that meant blocking my path to the bathroom.
"Daddy, are you okay or are you hurt?" The firstborn asked.
"Bugger! Ow," I replied, trying to navigate around the two little people doing everything in their power to be helpful.
"Daddy, you hurt?" The toddler echoed.
"Yep, gotta get to the bathroom, guys" I said.
They were unmoved until their mother told them to let me pass. Thank goodness they at least listen to her. I'd otherwise be doomed.
My wife helped bandage me up and she finished dinner as I kept my hand over my head to help slow the bleeding. The night went on and I realized just how often I use my thumb to do things. These realizations were accompanied by stabbing pains shooting through my hand as my new tip-of-the-finger gill let me know to stop touching things.
The night trekked onward to bedtime when the whole family joined together to read some bedtime stories. The real highlight of the bed time reading process? My bandaged thumb.
"Sadness?" The toddler asked, pointing at the colorful bandage.
"Yep, I have Sadness," I said, giggling at the thought of him having no idea what the sentence could also mean. I am going to have really watch my wording when the kids understand things.
The toddler proceeded to grab my thumb. I shrieked.
The firstborn stepped into to free me. "No, no, buddy. Don't grab Daddy's thumb," he said. The patronizing tone is very much a by product of his upbringing and I apologize to anyway he finds intellectually inferior during his school days.
The firstborn proceeded to grab my thumb in an attempt to wrestle if free of the toddler's grasp.
I was afraid that due to the commotion, I would bleed through the bandage causing a horrific scene involving a beloved Inside Out character going all stigmata on us. That did not come to fruition though. Just me whimpering and wishing for a swift end to bed time stories.
Thanks for reading!

15 years ago a guy named Shaun Walker released something special unto the world. Something that would ultimately change the way Microsoft approached Open Source. Shaun released a CMS tool called IBuySpy Workshop, a modified version of IBuySpy Portal. The IBuySpy Workshop ultimately became DotNetNuke, now known as DNN (I'm nostalgic for DotNetNuke btw).
Since then the landscape of open source in the Microsoft world has completely changed, the source code for ASP.NET is available to anyone, the .Net Foundation is around to support key open source projects in the Microsoft world, and thousands of developers work on .Net projects every day.
In 2015 Shaun Walker had some blog posts about the History of DNN, and rather than trying to write up all of my opinions on the timeline of the project, I'll point you to his blog series with excerpts from the DNN7 WROX book. Start reading with this post and follow the "next" links at the bottom.
What has DotNetNuke done for me? It has allowed me to travel the world, meet thousands of people and help thousands more. It has allowed me to go from simply being a software developer to being an expert in an industry. It has allowed me to learn that I can speak in front of hundreds of folks, and put on my "announcer" voice whenever I feel like sounding important! (Check out my latest DNN Tutorials for a sample!)
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to DotNetNuke over the years, and a big thanks to Shaun for everything he has done for all of us.
Here's a photo of the first time I met Shaun and Scott Willhite in person, in Lexington, Kentucky

I've been trying for months to migrate my Codeplex Projects over to GitHub, but always got stuck at this step on GitHub (trying to get credentials for CodePlex:
I enter my Codeplex username and password, but it always comes back and asks me for the credentials again, they never work.
Well it's been YEARS since I've checked anything into Codeplex, and I remembered that back in the day, I had to connect with different credentials in TFS, so how do you find those?
Using that username and my normal CodePlex password, I was finally able to get the migration completed for one of my projects, only 21 more to go….

If you're not switching all of your websites to utilize SSL encryption by default, you're going to miss out on search results for many years to come! (see here for more info)
In the past, the notion of switching all your sites to use SSL would be daunting and a costly affair, especially if you have too many different websites to count (what, not everyone has this problem?).
I've been recently setting up a few websites on Azure for test purposes, and decided to look into how I could setup SSL for those sites. I came across a blog post from Rick Strahl regarding using Let's Encrypt, for free SSL configurations. Basically with Let's Encrypt, you can get a free SSL certificate, the main catch though is that they need to be renewed very frequently, they expire in 90 days.
From there I came across a Site Extension for Azure that can be setup to automatically configure, assign, and even renew these certificates. This takes quite a bit of work to get setup, but once setup, requesting certificates is super simple. As you add more "custom domains" to your Azure instance you can setup a new certificate for each. One problem I ran into however is that once I had setup two certificates, the extension started throwing an error when trying to add new certificates for domains. The error was:"
Cannot update IP SSL Bindings because total number of allowed IP addresses per site will be exceeded. CloudException: Cannot update IP SSL Bindings because total number of allowed IP addresses per site will be exceeded.
This I believe is possibly due to my limitations on the Basic App Service that I have setup, where you are limited to SSL IPs, but you can have unlimited SNI SSL certs. Completing the binding process for the SSL certificate is easy, simply go to your Azure Portal, navigate to the App Service and then the SSL Certificates section. Click the Add SSL Binding button, choose your domain and select the appropriate certificate!
Boom, SSL setup and ready to go!
Update: Looks like I had a setting configured incorrectly in the Site Extension, I simply removed the web app setting

In an earlier blog post I talked about the EventLog table and the Exceptions table, specifically in terms of how to "clear" the tables out. This post will talk specifically about how to keep the EventLog table cleaned up to begin with.
In DNN you have the ability to configure if you would like specific EventLogTypes to be tracked or not. By default in DNN there are over 100 different events that can be tracked in the EventLog table. Many of these are turned off by default, you can configure them to be "on" by going to the Admin Logs page in the Persona Bar, and choose the Log Settings tab
In doing so you will be presented with a page that looks similar to
From here you can click on the Edit pencil on each row and enable or disable the Logging setting
You can also turn options on such as email notifications and the Keep Most Recent entries option
Some of the default options in DNN will have the Keep Most Recent option configured to a low number, like "10 Entries" but some will have them set to All. This can cause the EventLog table to fill up with many many many events, depending on how much traffic your website gets. You can go through and set these all manually through the ADMIN UI, or you can do it in bulk in the database with this simple SQL statement:
update Eventlogconfig
set keepmostrecent = 10
If you're using the SQL Console page you can use this statement
update {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Eventlogconfig
set keepmostrecent = 10
Warning: You might actually want to keep ALL logs for your site, depends on your industry and needs, but I prefer to keep mine pruned to try to keep the database smaller, more manageable and better performing.
Mon, 06 Mar 2017 02:16:01 GMTAt some point, if you manage a DNN based website long enough, you are going to run into a problem where your database seems to have grown WAY bigger than it should be. I'm not talking a couple hundred megs, I'm talking gigabytes, lots of gigabytes. This post will hopefully help you get that under control.Tonight, I had a DNN instance that I was looking to migrate to Azure, in preparation for this I remoted into the web and database servers to see what the files and database looked like. The database MDF file was almost 1.5gb in size, for a DNN instance that has 5 portals, and very very little activity, this was concerning. I knew where to start looking though, there are two tables to start with, Exceptions and EventLog. The EventLog is tied to the "Admin Logs" in DNN 9, in earlier versions of DNN the menu item was Event Logs or even Event Viewer. Running the following simple SQL query will get you an idea of how many rows are in those tables.select count(1) from Exceptions with (nolock) select count(1) from EventLog with (nolock)If you're running this in the SQL Console on your DNN site you might run it withselect count(1) from {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}Exceptions with (nolock) select count(1) from {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}EventLog with (nolock)This will give you a "count" of the number of rows in each of those tables. In my case, the EventLog table only had 394 records, but the Exceptions table had 300k+. That's a pretty common cause of database size creep in DNN. Ultimately what my issue was, I had one site that still used "SolPartMenu" in the Containers for the skin, and with DNN9, those no longer work, and every request that tried to load that site (mostly search engines hitting it) caused multiple records to be thrown into the EventLog and Exceptions table. Message:Object reference not set to an instance of an object. StackTrace: at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Pane.LoadModuleContainer(ModuleInfo module) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Pane.InjectModule(ModuleInfo module)Now, the question is how did I know what the cause of that cryptic error message was? Well, I had just spent some time with a customer of mine this weekend upgrading their website, and they ran into the same problem, so it was fresh in my head, and I was easily able to correct this.But let's get back to the topic of the post, the Exceptions and EventLog tables. DNN has a way to "purge" the eventlog built into the system, and most "types" of events only get stored 10 times, so when the 11th event comes in, the first one gets cleared from the system. But, the exception Events also get logged to the Exceptions table, and there doesn't appear to be anything in DNN that cleans that table up automatically. Because I upgraded the site to DNN 9 well over a month ago, I had hundreds of thousands of exceptions in the table. So I needed to get this cleaned up, that's easy with the following SQL statement.truncate table Exceptionsor the DNN SQL Console versiontruncate table {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}ExceptionsThat forces the table to be purged, and then using SQL Server Management Studio I was able to run a SHRINK command on the database, bringing the files back down to an expected 30 mb.Now you might think, well can't I do the same on the EventLog table? Unfortunately the simple answer to that is no. The longer answer is YES, but you'll want to look at Sebastian's SQL script for doing so: http://dnnscript.codeplex.com/releases/view/612643[...]

I ran into a problem this evening with Visual Studio 2017 hanging when opening my Solution that I'm working on for my DNNTemplates VSIX project. It would open up solution explorer, it would also open up the TABS in visual studio, but it wouldn't complete the process and would hang on "Opening the files".
Basically every time I opened the solution, no matter what I tried, rebooting, deleting the .SUO file, deleting the .USER files, nothing would seem to work. I would let Visual Studio site for hours, and it would never complete the opening process.
Finally I went in and deleted the contents of the .VS folder, after deleting this contents the solution can successfully be opened.
So if you run into problems with "Opening the files", try deleting the contents of the .vs folder in your solution directory, hopefully that will help you.
If anyone from the Visual Studio team wants to reach out to me on this, I have perfview files and files collected from collect.exe as I was trying to troubleshoot the issue.

With the improvements in Visual Studio 2017, the installation process can be much more compact and streamlined, allowing you to choose which "workloads" you want to install. But what happens when you need a workload that you don't have installed? Well with a little digging I was able to determine the process to do so, check out the steps listed below.
Any time you need to add ore remove workloads, you can always get back to this screen.
With the Release Candidate for Visual Studio 2017 Community I did run into one problem where the "install" file ended up being lost. If that's the case just download the vs_community.exe again from Microsoft and run that, it'll restore what you need and get you back to the appropriate process.

Mary Jo Foley is reporting that Visual Studio 2017 will release on March 7th, 2017.
I guess I better get to updating my DNN Extension Templates for Visual Studio before that release hits!
Head on over to http://launch.visualstudio.com for details on some virtual launch events.
What are you looking forward to most with Visual Studio 2017?
I'm hoping for faster installation times than it takes to install your operating system!

Depending on what the "source" is, it appears that DNN 9.0.1 was released either 11 days ago, or 3 days ago.
So which is it, 11 or 3? Who cares, let's just go over some of the basics of what the release covers.
First off, there are a number of security updates in this release, primarily around API security.
Security Updates:
If addition to the security updates, there were also updates to some of the new UI functionality in DNN9, unfortunately it doesn't look like they've really addressed many of my issues from the initial DNN9 release, but at least they are doing something.
Release Notes:
For those of you going, "What, I didn't know DNN was still a thing?" Yeah, welcome to 2003, DNN is still alive and kicking, not going away anytime soon, you might want to check it out again.

I've been maintaining my DotNetNuke Visual Studio project templates for a number of years now, one of the things they have sorely been lacking is the ability to "customize" the templates without having to crack open the full source code of the VSIX project, making changes, and then recompiling everything. There are 5 specific strings/values that were ripe for customization, but simply were not easily accessible.
Of all of those items, the one that has likely caused the most headache over the years is the Local DEV URL property, that was set at DNNDEV.ME, which if you followed along with my various tutorials, was the URL I always use for local development, that domain name points to 127.0.0.1. This actually works out great, but some people choose not to follow my tutorials or already have existing development environments configured, yet still want to use my templates. You could still use them, but you had to make some modifications to the PROJ files after creation in order to get things working.
With the latest release of the templates, when you create a project using one of the 6 included templates, you will then be prompted with a Wizard interface (single step) that will allow you to customize these fields.
As always, you can download the latest "release" of the templates from the DNN Store, or from the Visual Studio Online Gallery if you want to get creative, you can check out the Repo on GitHub

One of the best things I love about the DNN platform is the ease of building, releasing, and updating Extensions for your website. If you need custom functionality you can either build something yourself, or likely find something that someone else has developed previously that might fit your needs.
If you are an extension developer for DNN (previously DotNetNuke), you have many options for how you can get those modules into the hands of potential customers. If you want to get your modules into the hands of as many different users as possible, you can't just stick to one distribution mechanism, you need to reach out and try to get your extension available in as many places as possible.
Some of the ways for distributing your modules include: 1) Hosting on your own website, 2) Hosting on GitHub, 3) Hosting on Codeplex. The often overlooked one however, especially for free and open source modules, is 4) The DNN Store.
The Store is a great marketplace for DNN extensions, and while it primarily is used to "sell" extensions, there was even a time free extensions were discouraged or even removed, that is not the case anymore. You can list your extensions, modules, skins, or even providers, to get your products out in front of more customers. Some of the benefits of doing so
One thing I would highly suggest, if you are selling modules, DO not use the Store as a way to get people to "try" your modules, and then point them to your own website to do the selling. That is just not cool.
Please be sure to check out some of my free extensions in the Store: HammerFlex and DNNCHAT being the two most popular extensions I have there. And yes, to be upfront, those links have referral codes embedded in them!
Sat, 14 Jun 2014 16:29:23 GMTOriginally posted to ChrisHammond.com With the release of DNN 7.3.0 this week, it was time for me to get my sites upgraded. I upgraded most of the sites without any issues, but wanted to point out a few errors that I received on sites, and how I resolved them. The very first upgrade I did started out bad, it was for this site, and while the upgrade was 100% successful, as soon as I tried to load the site I got a generic 500 error. Accessing the site from the webserver gave me a little more information, seen below, but not much. 500 Internal Server Error The requested Url does not return any valid content. AdministratorsChange this message by configuring a specific 404 Error Page or Url for this website. The first thing I did was run to www.ifinity.com.au to see if Bruce had a new version of his URLMaster module available. Sure enough, he had one that was released today, so I needed to get that installed. But how do you install a DNN Module when you can't actually access the DNN website (due to that 500 error above)? You take the ZIP file for the module/extension you want to install, and put it in the /install/module folder in the root of your website. Once you've placed the file in that directory, browse to http://DNNDEV.me/install/install.aspx?mode=installresources (replace DNNDEV.ME with your domain name). That should install the upgraded Ifinity package and resolve the 500 error. Another problem I ran into was that one of my sites, upgrading from 7.1.1 to 7.3.0, received errors on the 7.2.0, 7.2.1, 7.2.2 and 7.3.0 SQL upgrade scripts, the errors were all something like System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): ALTER TABLE failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or filtered indexes and/or query notifications and/or XML data type methods and/or spatial index operations. That one was actually a pretty easy fix, basically in the SQL database options (using SQL Server Management Studio) there is a Database Compatibility option. The site that had the problem was set to SQL 2000! Not sure how that happened, but it was an easy fix. I set compatibility to 2005 (as that is what all my other DBs were at) and ran the upgrades again (after restoring my backups) and everything ran fine the second time around. The last thing you'll find is that if you have any CSS in your Portal.css file, in 7.3.0, the Portal.CSS file is TURNED OFF BY DEFAULT. Whomever the genius was that made that call at DNN Corp should really be fired. You can turn portal.css back on in the site settings, under the Stylesheet Editor TAB. Besides those few issues, all addressable with a little effort this evening, I'm pretty happy with the 7.3 upgrade. The HammerFlex skin works great without any tweaks for 7.3 in my testing so far, you can download that from the DNNStore for free.[...]

Earlier this year I started on a project to learn how to use SignalR, I had reasons to do so for my full time job (non-DNN related) but considering my DNN experience over the past 11 years I figured that learning how to use SignalR with DNN would be my fastest way to get myself up to speed. So I started working on a Chat module. Originally that module was called SignalRChat, and was available on codeplex, but ultimately I decided that name kind of sucked, so it needed to be something else.
In comes the DNN Chat module project, there was a Chat module for DNN long ago, but the last official release of it was in 2008, and while there was a Beta in 2010, it hadn't seen any development and work in years. So I approached DNNCorp about taking over the DNN Chat project and replacing it with my newly developed module, at the same time, going from "DNN Chat" to "dnnCHAT".
So here we are today, and the first official release of dnnCHAT is now available, v01.00.00, you can download it now from Codeplex.
You can see the module in action on http://www.dnnchat.com
Here are some of the details about the module, but first things first, a note.
Note: If you previously used the DNN Chat module, and still have it installed, this module will not replace that, the namespaces are different, the Module Name in the Manifest is different. This module WILL NOT UPGRADE the older module. I would suggest uninstalling that module if you still have it, and then installing this module.
Minimum DNN Version: 7.1.0
Source Control Location: https://github.com/ChrisHammond/dnnCHAT
Source Language: C#
Issue Tracking: https://github.com/ChrisHammond/dnnCHAT/issues
Live Demo: http://www.dnnchat.com
This module is based on SignalR, utilizing C#, and requires DNN 7.1.0+, it provide basic Chat Room functionality, allowing both Anonymous and logged in users to communicate in the Lobby, logged in users can also join Rooms.
This is an entirely new module, old instances of the DNN CHAT module should be removed before attempting to use this module (they most likely weren't working anyways).

So if you've been under a rock lately, you might have missed this little phenom known as KickStarter. Well today you're going to want to check it out. Secret Labs, the folks who brought you Netduino (hey, I'm wearing a Netduino t-shirt today, what a coincidence) have teamed up with a watch maker in New York City (SL is based there as well) to bring you Agent! http://www.agentwatches.com/
So what is Agent? I could write this whole long blog post about it, but you'd be better off just reading the KickStarter page.
Basically though, it is a .NET MicroFramework powered device, with long battery life, and awesome features, that will allow you to easily develop for the watch, using the Microsoft tools you already love (Visual Studio 2012).
The project is in a funding phase right now, but I believe the SDK will release by the time the KickStarter campaign ends.
So get to it, fund this project! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/secretlabs/agent-the-worlds-smartest-watch
Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:02:00 GMTOriginally posted on ChrisHammond.com, all comments and discussion on this topic should be done there. This post will provide you with a basic tutorial for utilizing SignalR with custom DotNetNuke Modules. If you want to bypass the blog post go check out the source on GitHub, you can Fork my Repository. The module created here will be very simple, if you want a full blown module with more features be sure to check out the open source DotNetNuke Module SignalRChat, and see it in action at http://dnnCHAT.com/ SignalR is an ASP.NET library for using websockets and long polling in your applications. Basically what this means, is that you can have your web pages (or apps) maintain an open connection with a webserver, passing data back and forth, without having to do standard posts and gets for the content and functions. SignalR is a free library that you can get from www.signalr.net and you can DL from nuget.org right into your Visual Studio projects. With my new daytime job I had the need to dive deeply into the pool that is SignalR, so I figured what better way to do that than try to create a DotNetNuke module that would use SignalR. There are plenty of Chat examples for SignalR, so I figured that would be a good place to start. This post assumes you already have a DotNetNuke development environment setup locally at http://dnndev.me, and that you have my Visual Studio templates installed. If you don't, head on over to the DNN Wiki http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/development-environment.aspx To start, you should create a new DotNetNuke module using my templates, http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com, I used the C# DAL template, but you can use any of the C# templates. The DAL template has less information that will need to be removed than if you use the DAL2 template, the DAL2 template actually has a working sample in it). I called the module I used for this blog DNNSignalR, but you can name yours whatever you want. Install SignalR Install SignalR into the project using NUGET. To do this open your Package Manager Console (found under Tools/Library Package Manager) in Visual Studio 2012. In the Console run the following line Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR This will download the SignalR resources into a Packages folder inside of your module's folder. SignalR provides a variety of resources that will be utilized, as well as an older version of jQuery which will not be used. Add a Reference In your project add a reference to DotNetNuke.Web.DLL in the website's BIN folder, this will allow you to use the Route Mapping in DNN 7. Map the Route In order for SignalR to work in DNN7, you need to tell DNN how to handle requests to the path /signalr/hubs/ that path won't physically exist, due to the way the service framework in DNN7 works this is actually very easy to do. Add a class to your project called RouteMapper.cs using the code in the screenshot here. (In the sample code check out the /components folder) Note: If you are using URLMaster, you will need to add |/signalr to the end of the doNotRewriteRegex setting on the Regex Settings tab of the URLMaster Friendly URL Settings module (under the HOST menu). Create the ChatHub The ChatHub.cs class will be the listener on the SignalR side, "clients" (the view of the module) will send to that chathub using the Send method. The Hub will then broadcast that information back out to all connected clients using the addMessage javascript function, implemented in view.ascx later in this post. In this example ChatHub is really simple, but you'll find that this class will likely be fairly complex [...]

With the 2.0 release of my module development project templates last week I've had a few inquiries into how to customize the templates. You can download the templates from http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/
First, why might you want to modify the custom templates? The main reason is that these templates are defined using a specific namespace, DotNetNuke.Modules.*, which is fine in most cases, but what if you want to use your own namespace? Well you have to create a project, then search/replace all instances of that namespace, while not removing any DNN references at the same time. Customizing the project templates will allow you to define your own company namespace, email address, website, and even copyright information, in the template so that you do not have to search/replace every time you create a new project.Read the full post on ChrisHammond.com

(image) With the release of DotNetNuke 7.0 (and now the more recent 7.0.2), it was time to update my module development project templates. If you have worked with my module development templates before, here are the major changes for this release. If you haven't worked with them before please read this whole blog post as I discuss how to get up and running with the templates.
This section will cover some of the "new" features of this template release. If you're familiar with my previous releases this will hopefully get you up to speed on what is new. If you are new to the whole process it will help you understand a few of the features in the templates.
For more information about the templates read my full blog post on my website.

Southern Italy's strategic location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean gave it a unique position as a frontier for the major religious faiths of the medieval world, where Latin Christian, Greek Christian and Muslim communities coexisted. In this study, the first to offer a comprehensive analysis of sanctity and pilgrimage in Southern Italy between 1000 and 1200, Paul Oldfield presents a fascinating picture of a politically and culturally fragmented land which, as well as hosting its own important relics as important pilgrimage centres, was a transit point for pilgrims and commercial traffic. Drawing on a diverse range of sources from hagiographical material to calendars, martyrologies, charters and pilgrim travel guides, the book examines how sanctity functioned at this key cultural crossroads and, by integrating the analysis of sanctity with that of pilgrimage, offers important new insights into society, cross-cultural interaction and faith in the region and across the medieval world.

Another trick in the wall: .htaccess and sites/all/default/files access
Another trick found in a fresh Drupal migration from a local environment to a service provider:
I used Drupal 7 for the first time but i think that it's a problem that touches also Drupal 6.
I used a module embedded in the Drupal installation called slider, that use Jquery for a slideshow in a header on the front page.
It load some images that slides every 10 seconds. The default path of the images is sites/all/default/files directory that Drupal uses for the public files.
In my first attempt i moved the site to the hosted location, i changed some directives in the root .htaccess but i ever minded that i must change also the .htaccess located in this directory.

Pinecrest Diet Delivery
We offer weight loss, paleo, and gluten-free meal plans.
Pinecrest Paleo
Primal Organic healthy meal plans are based off the paleo diet. The paleo diet recommends what are bodies evolved to eat. Thus Primal Organic meals are full of lean meats, vegetables, fruits, limited amounts of nuts and seeds. Our meals never includes toxic foods such as grains, legumes, and vegetable seed oils.
Paleo different than Atkins
Our diet is based off the belief that humans thrive on low-carb, high-fat diets, and not the reverse Standard American Diet. This is why when one Compares our paleo meals to the Standard American Diet they find that the paleo meals are significantly lower in carbohydrates. This is probably why many confuse Primal Organic's Pinecrest paleo meals with other low-carb diets such as Atkins. One major difference with paleo meal delivery, and The Atkins diet is our meals do not include processed foods (like low-carb energy bars, flour substitutes, bread, tortillas, etc.). Other difference become obvious when we look at what the Atkins diet does allows: soy, industrial seed oils, and even small amounts of grains in the later phases of the diet. Primal Organic meal never include soy, dairy, grains, or any processed foods.
Pinecrest Paleo Lifestyle
Sleep, stress management and exercise are the big three elements, other than diet, that effect our overall health and well being. We recommend doing more then simply eating our paleo meals. When ever possible we need to reduce or at least manage stress in our lives. It is important to get enough sleep every night. Me sure you are practicing healthy sleeping habits. Also we must play, or as adults say get some exercise! When people make good food and lifestyle choices our bodies and the immune system prepped to challenge viruses and bacteria. Get out in the sun, vitamin D is great for you!Healthy living lifestyle changes certainly will help get that digestive system on track.

The Interview Process
The Interview Process :
When you are looking to make the Big Leap – the one that puts you closer to the power centers of a business or organization - the interview process will likely be different from what you've experienced before. The more senior the person or people you're interviewing with, the more definite their ideas are likely to be about what they're looking for. They know that their own continued success depends on hiring the best people.
So how do you prove your readiness for the big leagues? By thinking like a big-league player. This interview will be different from others. But it will be your best chance to impress the decision-makers. So there are some key points you want to be certain you get across.
Here are tips to help you succeed.
l. Show you get the big picture.
Any number of interview-candidates may possess specific subject-knowledge valuable to a business. But the candidate who goes beyond mere information and displays an ability to use it well is more likely to get the Job. Senior executives and managers generally want people who pay attention to and understand the broader view.
Demonstrate….you recognize patterns and understand their importance that you know how to use and synthesize information.
2. Find out what keeps the boss up at it night.
Do your homework so you understand not the job or promotion for which you are applying, but also the job of the senior executive above it. Do you know to whom this person reports and what the top issues are for your boss's boss?
Make that knowledge part of your interview conversation. Show an interest not only in the specifics of the job, but in the product and markets for that company. Ask broad questions.
What do you think the potential growth in the Indian market is?
3. Look for answers.
Senior managers are looking for candidates who are creative thinkers focused on finding solutions. It is less important that you show you know the details of the problems the organization faces than that you're able to demonstrate readiness to look for options and find solutions.
Think about problems in the past you have identified and managed to solve. Show readiness to tackle the tough issues.
4. Show some guts.
Chances are whoever you're interviewing with got where he is by showing some moxie and you should too. Top people need and want folks around them who are not afraid to speak up and will confidently assert their ideas. It is the only way to be part of the process.
Be ready with an example of a time when you weren't afraid to go out on a limb and your action helped bring about real change.

Mark Hole is a cool smart British guy who makes music with his stunning voice and the piano. I was honoured to see him as support of Tori Amos' recent Night of Hunters tour. I liked his performing a lot and his songs touched my heart. I was pretty much sad, that there weren't albums left after the show in Hamburg when I got to the Merch after the show but I could talk to Mark and with the help of a friend I finally got now his debut work "F-Sharp" with his autograph in my hands.
It is a twelve titles long album. All songs are clear(f-sharp)ly produced. Not any single instrumentation is too much. While listening to the album first I just thought … wow, that is the perfect soundtrack to winter days for me because I don't need to have something that is overwhelming. I need in winter days music that is chilling and exciting in ways like beautiful lyrics, unique voice and touching melodies. The music of Mark Hole is touched with jazzy tunes (not too much … exactly my taste), enough catchy rhythm, with added humour. It is just perfect for me to listen especially when you try to do something else while listening … like painting pictures, knitting or cooking. You know, all the stuff you usually do in dark times. This music can make you happy. This music brings light into the winter days. I am thankful for it.
You can get F-Sharp by Mark Hole via his Homepage.
More connections: @twitter or @Facebook and very amusing as well is his Youtube account.
Mark Hole is actually scheduled on stage for:
Jan 19 @ The Slaughtered Lamb, London, UK
Jan 27 @ King Tuts, Glasgow, UK

We have enjoyed having her here. She is well-behaved (mostly) and very quiet - except for loving to chase cats when I walk her. And Vaison has a lot of feral cats!
Since I always enjoyed the routine of walking our dogs, taking this berger out three/four times a day has been enjoyable. Walking her at night around 10:00, I realize how small our village is in winter. It is quiet and there is rarely anyone on the streets – except other dog-walkers and feral cats. This village is truly a "roll up the sidewalks" kind of town in winter. I know that the population will double in summer but in March it is VERY quiet at night.
A downside of the dog-walking routine is bad weather. In the past three weeks, there was one heavy rain day (pleuvoir comme une vache qui pisse) but when the north of
got all of the snow earlier
this week, we got the Mistral and its 120 k/h COLD winds. France
She adapted well to our little apartment and made herself quite "at home". In a place this small, one might think that supervision would not be a problem but she managed to clean Ellen's plate one evening when I was out and Ellen went to wash her hands before eating. Like the deerhounds we used to have, she loves butter and emptied the butter dish that was on the kitchen counter – twice! (we should have remembered that behavior!)
The owners were supposed to return to pick her up last Sunday but their car broke down (requiring a rebuilt engine that had to be shipped from
) and once it was repaired and
ready to go, the snow storm closed the roads. They managed to arrive here late
yesterday afternoon. Spain
Now that Anna has returned to her owners, our little apartment seems larger – but empty.

I floated on the bay in the twinkle of the night, I drifted on the shadows of the still moon light. I watched the shooting stars and the satelights on high, And dreamed I'd wash up somewhere on an island in the sky. I felt the warm winds as they brushed over me, Content with the stillness so calm and so free, My mind was a fantasy fast fun full of glee. With the moon and the stars and my wishes and me.
"When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity – in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits – islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides."
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

United States District Court, D. Montana, Billings Division
June 30, 2015
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.FRANKLYN DON HAMMONTREE, Defendant.
SUSAN P. WATTERS United States District Judge
The Court is in receipt of a "Motion to Impeach Witness" submitted pro se by Defendant Franklyn Hammontree. (Doc. 40). The Motion was filed on June 30, 2015. The Court previously appointed counsel for Hammontree. (Doc. 12). The Court finds it unnecessary to address the merits of Hammontree's motion because Hammontree is not permitted to file this motion pro se while he is represented by counsel.
"It is settled law that a defendant has the right to represent himself in a criminal trial and that he has the right to the assistance of counsel." United States v. Daniels, 572 F.2d 535, 540 (5th Cir.1978) (citations omitted). "A criminal defendant does not have an absolute right to both self-representation and the assistance of counsel, " however. United States v. Bergman, 813 F.2d 1027, 1030 (9th Cir. 1987) (emphasis in original). In other words, "the right to counsel and the right to proceed pro se exist in the alternative." United States v. LaChance, 817 F.2d 1491, 1498 (11th Cir.1987); see also Locks v. Sumner, 703 F.2d403, 407-08 (9th Cir. 1983). Although a court may grant permission for hybrid representation, the decision to do so "rests in the sound discretion of the trial court." Bergman, 813 F.3d at 1030.
By filing his motion pro se, Hammontree engages in hybrid representation without first seeking the Court's permission. Under such circumstances, "[a] district court has no obligation to entertain pro se motions filed by a represented party." Abdullah v. United States, 240 F.3d 683, 686 (8th Cir. 2001). This Court declines to consider Hammontree's Motion to Impeach Witness. See, e.g., id at 685 (noting that the district court did not err when it denied a represented defendant's pro se motion without considering its contents); see also United States v. Tracy, 989 F.2d 1279, 1285 (1st Cir. 1993) ("A district court enjoys wide latitude in managing its docket and can require ...

Toledo Police Chief Derrick Diggs today told the media that the department's real time crime center has helped bring down the crime rate in the city, with at least one expert agreeing.
Chief Diggs said the overall crime rate, including violent crime and gun-related crime, in the city is down due to the department's "multifaceted" intelligence-led approach to fighting crime that includes the use of crime-surveillance cameras. He did not say by how much.
Chief Diggs was speaking at the Safety Building in downtown Toledo during a news conference. It was attended by representatives of Ohio law enforcement agencies after Chief Diggs showcased the real crime center on the sidelines of a monthly meeting of the Northern Ohio Crime Consortium.
"We have preliminary data that indicates that there is a deterrence effect attributable to those cameras," said Dave Licate, a professor of criminal justice at the University of Akron, after the news conference.
Professor Licate said he and Eric Jefferis, a professor of public health at Kent State University, have been evaluating the effectiveness of crime-surveillance cameras for NOCC and have yet to quantify the results of their research.
Police Sgt. Joe Heffernan, the police department's spokesman, said Toledo police have between 70 and 80 crime-surveillance cameras, with another 70 to 80 "arriving any time."

Sme Financing in Japan: Characteristics and Problems, Predominance of Low-Interest Rate Loans
WANABE Wako Associate Professor, Keio University
Following the global financial crisis, although overall business conditions for Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) became extremely difficult, relationships between SMEs and their creditor banks have been relatively stable. Yet, it has long been said that Japanese banks are not making sufficient efforts to improve the efficiency of financing to SMEs. In this article, we focus on this longstanding problem with SME financing in Japan. We also discuss what factors make it difficult for Japanese banks to cultivate new customers (borrowers) with medium risk, a market segment targeted by the now-defunct Incubator Bank of Japan. ♦ ♦ ♦
The current recession has been extremely tough and Japanese companies have been in a tight cash-flow position due to declining sales. Even so, banks have not hardened their lending attitude as much as one might have expected. The degree of credit tightening has been fairly limited, particularly in comparison with situations in the United States and Europe, where banks rapidly tightened credit standards for loans as shown by several indicators. A questionnaire survey conducted in February 2009 by the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI), in which we asked companies about changes in the lending attitude of their creditor banks, found that only slightly more than 10% of respondents experienced a drastic deterioration in the lending attitude of at least one of their creditor banks following the crisis, mostly in cases where they had short-term transactions with megabanks. Indeed, the outstanding balance of SME loans turned upward at the end of 2008 or in the first half of 2009 at credit unions (i.e., shinkin banks and cooperatives) and regional banks (i.e., first- and second-tier regional banks). Thus, apart from a limited number of exceptional cases, it is unlikely that the credit squeeze was caused by factors attributable to banks, such as the accumulation of bad loans and losses on securities holdings. In the latest financial crisis, Japanese banks suffered relatively small losses compared to their U.S. and European counterparts. This, with the help of government liquidity support measures, enabled Japanese banks to function, to some extent, as a steady supplier of funds to companies. However, whether or not they have done this efficiently is another story. From 2000 onward, banks and the government have taken various initiatives to facilitate greater efficiency in the supply of funds to SMEs while accelerating the process of bad loan disposals. Perhaps the most important element of these initiatives is the promotion of relationship banking. When making decisions on lending to SMEs that do not provide reliable financial information, hard-to-quantify information (soft information) such as the quality of management and viability of their business is very important. Banks can obtain such soft information only through their close, long-term relationships with SMEs. Lending practices that take advantage of such relationships are referred to as relationship banking. ♦ ♦ ♦
Do banks actually collect soft information on SMEs and effectively use it in their decision-making for lending and other undertakings? Before answering this question, let us be clear about one characteristic of Japanese banks: they maintain longer relationships with their corporate borrowers and are better placed to collect soft information than their counterparts in other countries. The question is whether or not Japanese banks actually lend on the basis of soft information and, if they do, whether such lending practices represent widespread behavior of banks in general. At present, the answer to this question appears to be no. Japanese banks set most of their loans at low interest...

Hosted by Ariana Manov, Felicia Montes & Sese Abejon. With Valecia Phillips.
This week on Feminist Magazine –Heard it all about IMMIGRATION? We're bringing you fresh voices and new news –starting with a socialist feminist analysis of the border with Salvadoran immigrant Karla Alegria from Radical Women. Nine year old Salvadoran refugee Angela Jimenez describes her experience crossing over. And then, migrant rights organizer Esther Portillo-Gonzales chills us to the bone with her stories of the icebox (la hielera) –a form of torture used right now in detention camps — and she describes what immigrant women are doing to resist.
AND … Valeska Castaneda takes to the road with mothers and children on the "TRAIL FOR HUMANITY" . They're walking a 30 day/300mile pilgrimage to the border – to bring attention to mass deportations, over incarceration and the humanitarian crisis of minors. The intrepid organizer and co-founder gives us a report direct from the road, where they have just arrived in Los Angeles.
In the second half of our program, we're featuring two very grassroots artivist projects. The all womyn bike brigade, Ovarian Psyco Cycles describe their CLITORAL MASS ride, and how they bring their own brand of feminism to young women of color. Now in it's 3rd year this Saturday, Clitoral Mass brings self-identified womyn and trans cyclists together to take back the night, day and streets for young women of color in LA. We'll have core member, Maryann Aguirre talk about the Ova's work, and Sivarraya Ande Phakpiseth will tell you how you can tag along for the ride.
Catch their Feminist Ideals, Indigenous Understandings And Urban/Hood Mentality.
PLUS… we're bringing you CROSS FADE — a multimedia exhibition currently at the Walter Maciel gallery in Los Angeles. It features six distinct perspectives examining how we view female identity and sexuality in contemporary culture. Valecia Phillips talks with curator Brenda Williams and two of the artists: Lezley Saar and Dana Weiser. Artform writes " Saar's works maintain a powerfully unstable balance of fear and fantasy, fracture and integration." Dana Weiser describes herself as a Korean-born adoptee, raised in a Jewish-American home in a mid-western city, who uses her work to explore questions of lost identity, multiple identity and racial identity. Music by Tameka Norris.
Tuesday afternoon at 3:00, THIS is what feminism sounds like!
