Lizz Wright
Stewart Theater, NCSU
The Associated Press named singer Lizz Wright's Salt one of the best albums of 2003. The 24-year-old Wright mixes jazz, pop and spiritual styles in her music and has been turning heads since bursting on the scene in Chicago at a Billy Holiday tribute concert in 2002. Concert starts at 8 p.m. with a pre-show discussion at 6:45. 515-1100, www.ncsu.edu/arts.

Charles Pettee & Folkpsalm
University Baptist Church
Charles Pettee & FolkPsalm perform songs from their new CD True Wealth, an Americana collection of Old Testament Psalms set to fiddle music, for the Fall for Habitiat fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, at 8 p.m. at the church at 100 S. Columbia St. Tickets are $10 for general admission or $5 for students. The all-star band features Robbie Link, Taz Halloween, Mark Simonsen, fiddling icon Al McCanless and Steep Canyon Rangers founder Lizzie Bahnson. 942-2157.
Scott Jacobson & Rich Blomquist
N.C. School of Science and Math
Scott Jacobson went to the N.C. School of Science and Math and then to UNC-Chapel Hill. His friend Rich Blomquist went to Elon University. Scott and Rich are currently living large in New York, where they're writers for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. They also helped pen the bestseller America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction (Warner Books). See 'em at a reading and signing sponsored by The Regulator Book Shop at 7 p.m. at Science and Math's nice new auditorium.
The Nein, STRANGE, Menomena
Originally slated as the release party for STRANGE's Things in Night, this psychedelic, something-like-New Wave blowout will instead serve as the release party for a reworked version of The Nein's eponymous EP. The Nein may very well be the coolest rock band in these parts, taking Gang of Four howl and The Cure catch and distilling it all into an angular head that comes complete with the danger that lesser rock mortals Franz Ferdinand promise but rarely deliver. Not to be missed: Portland's Menomena, a floating-in-space trio with the skill to pen brilliant melodies and the daring to obfuscate them with scatterbrained, across-the-charts instrumental tangents. --GC
Doug Marlette
The Regulator Book Shop
As the creator of Kudzu, Marlette easily wins the honor of Hillsborough's most famous cartoonist. Saturday evening, the N.C. Journalism Hall of Famer wheels down I-85 to the Bull City to read from his new Kudzu collection A Town So Backwards...Even the Episcopalians Handle Snakes at 7 p.m.
Jason Isbell & Shonna Tucker
The Pour House
When guitarist Jason Isbell was recruited for the Drive-By Truckers, he joined a band that already sported two exceptional songwriters in Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley. Isbell has quickly staked out his own ground as a writer, most notably with "Outfit," which depicts a father-and-son relationship in powerful plain-speak, and the nostalgic "Danko/Manuel." He and wife/Trucker bassist Shonna Tucker play the late show at The Pour House. --RC
Eyedea & Abilities
Cat's Cradle
Coming out of the Minneapolis Rhymesayers collective headed by Slug of Atmosphere, Eyedea and Abilities have a nice pedigree: Eyedea won HBO's Blaze rap rhyming championship in 2000, while Abilities has won several regional DMC turntable championships. Like Slug, Eyedea has a wicked white boy flow, rhymes tumbling out like Yahtzee with a twisted swagger that's part Eminem and part Mike D. He's backed by Abilities' jazzy, scratch-infested beds, which are stronger from the turntable side than the production one. Eyedea shows a lot of battle rap-spawned verve, but also trips his share of literate world-weary consciousness, like his protege Slug, though not quite as tight in the curves. --CP
Kevn Kinney's Sun-Tangled Angel Revival
The Pour House
Known more as the leader of Atlanta's soulful Drivin' n' Cryin', Kevn Kinney has also produced a folk-influenced body of work in the years since that band dissolved. In the Sun-Tangled Angel Revival, he puts down the acoustic guitar and plugs back in the big amp. Kinney often surrounds himself with bright musical beacons in his travels, as he has a long working relationship with REM's Peter Buck, the Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye, and Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers. For S.T.A.R., the enlisted folks include guitarist Gibb Droll and Slackdaddy's Bryan Howard, fleshed out with organ workouts and pedal steel. --CT

Southern Culture on the Skids
Local 506
Southern Culture on the Skids is riffmaster guitarist/chief vocalist and writer Rick Miller, bassist/keyboardist Mary Huff (she of the fetching harmonies), and Dave Hartman, who provides maximum drumming from a minimalist kit. Together they create a sound that's half backwoods, half garage. This is the first night of a three-night Local 506 stand during which a live album is being recorded and a DVD filmed, so dress to impress. --RC

Second look at judge's ruling that "there are neither allegations nor proof... that the property will not be timely improved"
Solomon rejected charges by tenants in two AY footprint buildings that that the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) is violating a provision of state law that requires disposition of properties within a decade and should hold another hearing because the project has changed considerably.
No timetable?
On the latter issue, attorney George Locker had argued that, while the project, when approved in December 2006, was supposed to take a decade, the State Funding Agreement gives a long leash: there's no start date for Phase 1, and that the developer has 12 years from the delivery of property to complete that phase without penalty, and there's no timetable for Phase 2, which would include 11 of 16 towers.
"The bulk of the Atlantic Yards project, as far as the operative contracts are concerned, does not exist," Locker argued in court.
Solomon, despite expressing surprise in the court hearing that eminent domain had not commenced despite "all of this publicity" about the project, wrote:
There simply are neither allegations nor proof in petitioners' papers that the project is or will be abandoned, that the property will not be timely improved or that it is intended to be conveyed to a private user without giving the fee owner a right of first refusal.
(Emphasis added)
"Reasonable" efforts to proceed
In court, ESDC attorney Philip Karmel had said, "The foundation stone is the funding agreement," he said, adding that the claim that there is no deadline "is a complete and total mischaracterization." Rather, the developer is required to use "commercially reasonable efforts" to move forward.
What does that mean?
"It means you have to try your hardest," he said.
As I pointed out last month, the developer at an investment conference claimed that "we control the pace."
In what language does "we control the pace" mean "try your hardest"?

One of the most expensive, and best, buffets in town.
At Wynn Las Vegas on the North Strip.
You name it, they probably got it.
A beautiful garden setting with small-ish rooms giving the place a more intimate feel.
Both the serving station staff and the wait staff are very attentive.
Very expensive for a buffet - heck, it's expensive period. Expect around $24 for breakfast, $26 for lunch, and $40-$50 for dinner and brunch.
The buffet recently got a multi-million dollar makeover of the decor and the food.
There's a reason people rave about the experience of eating here.
Wynn Buffet

Wynn Buffet
The battle for the most extravagant buffet in Las Vegas got more intense a couple of years ago when Caesars opened its Bacchanal Buffet, an over-the-top experience both from a size and cost perspective. It edged out the Buffet at Wynn Las Vegas, which for years had been at the top of the pecking order when it came to luxurious buffet experiences.
So Wynn fought back in 2015 with a multi-million dollar makeover that changed not only the look of the place but the food that it serves and the result is pretty spectacular.
I was worried when I heard they were going to redo the room, which I always thought was one of the most beautiful spaces in Vegas. The good news is that it was just a bit of cosmetic details - a palette that features more green and vibrant splashes of pink, red, and orange in whimsical touches here and there - leaving the overall effect in place. Flooded with natural light and tons of blooming flowers and trees, the space is broken up into various dining rooms that provide a more intimate feel. You may not be able to totally fool yourself into thinking you're having dinner in a traditional restaurant, but it definitely has none of the eating in a barn feel of many big buffets.
The food spread was epic before but seems even more so now. To try to list all of the food offerings would be silly, not just because the list would be so long but because the menu items change regularly. But like most modern buffets, the various stations serve up a wide variety of dishes from all corners of the globe plus plenty of fresh salads, fruits, and desserts.
It was brunch when we visited so I focused mainly on the breakfast style items. Special shout-outs go to the made to order omelets and pancakes, the latter of which come in buttermilk, chocolate, or red velvet varieties with everything from authentic maple syrup to chocolate chips as toppings.
A carving station served tender slices of a variety of meats including turkey, ham, thick bacon, sausage, brisket, and more; a Chinese station had plenty of Asian favorites and a teppanyaki grill allowed you to get a custom made dish; a seafood station had piles of crab legs and shrimp; and that was just the beginning.
Unlike most buffets, this one is highly interactive, with many of the dishes made just for you to your specifications. Even the stuff sitting under the warming lamps appeared to be recently prepared and I didn't experience a hint of the "warmed over" taste you'd usually expect.
The dessert area was one of the largest I've ever seen, a satisfying change of pace from what most buffets offer in this part of the meal. Baked goods of all stripes were present plus hand-scooped ice creams, made-to-order crepes, Bananas Foster, bread pudding, and more.
In all more than 120 new items were added to the menu and although I certainly didn't sample them all, I couldn't find any that weren't fantastic. The quality is obvious as is the care in preparation.
Yes, it's still expensive, unsurprisingly. Breakfast and lunch are within a couple of bucks either direction of $25, brunch is around $35, a regular dinner is over $40, and their "gourmet" dinner on Friday and Saturday is over $50. Remember when an all-you-can-eat buffet on The Strip was one of the cheapest meals you can eat? Yeah, neither do I.
Even though there are less-expensive buffets there are few that offer the level of food quality, selection, and atmosphere as this one. You absolutely get your money's worth here.

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) is an annual assessment for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. It has been an everyday part of the school calendar since 2008.
NAPLAN tests the sorts of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life, such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy. The assessments are undertaken nationwide, every year, in the second full week in May.
NAPLAN is made up of tests in the four areas (or 'domains') of:
NAPLAN tests skills in literacy and numeracy that are developed over time through the school curriculum.
You can find an easy to understand infographic that gives useful information on the NAPLAN tests and their benefits here.

Combtooth blenny
|Combtooth blennies
|Scartella cristata
|Scientific classification
Rafinesque, 1810
See text
Combtooth blennies are blennioids; perciform marine fish of the family Blenniidae. They are the largest family of blennies with around 400 known species. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments.
The body plan of the combtooth blennies is archetypal to all other blennioids; their blunt heads and eyes are large, with large continuous dorsal fins (which may have three to 17 spines). Their bodies are compressed, elongated, and scaleless; their small, slender pelvic fins (which are absent in only two species) are situated before their enlarged pectoral fins, and their tail fins are rounded. As their name would suggest, combtooth blennies are noted for the comb-like teeth lining their jaws.
By far the largest species is the eel-like hairtail blenny at 53 cm in length; most other members of the family are much smaller. Combtooth blennies are active and often highly colourful, making them popular in the aquarium hobby.
Habitat and behaviour[edit]
Generally benthic fish, combtooth blennies spend much of their time on or near the bottom. They may inhabit the rocky crevices of reefs, burrows in sandy or muddy substrates, or even empty shells. Generally found in shallow waters, some combtooth blennies are capable of leaving the water for short periods during low tide, aided by their large pectoral fins which act as "feet". Small benthic crustaceans, mollusks, and other sessile invertebrates are the primary food items for most species; others eat algae or plankton.
One exceptional group of combtooth blennies deserves special mention: the so-called sabre-toothed blennies of the genera Aspidontus, Meiacanthus, Petroscirtes, Plagiotremus, and Xiphasia. These blennies have fang-like teeth with venom glands at their bases. Species of the genera Aspidontus and Plagiotremus (such as the false cleanerfish) are noted for their cunning mimicry of cleaner wrasses: by imitating the latter's colour, form, and behaviour, the blennies are able to trick other fish (or even divers) into letting down their guard, long enough for the blennies to nip a quick mouthful of skin or scale.
Some combtooth blennies form small groups, while others are solitary and territorial. They may be either diurnal or nocturnal, depending on the species. Females lay eggs in shells or under rock ledges; males guard the nest of eggs until hatching. In some species, the eggs may remain in the oviduct of the female until hatched. The fry of some species undergo an 'ophioblennius' stage, wherein the fish are pelagic (i.e., inhabiting the midwater) and have greatly enlarged pectoral fins and hooked teeth.

From Wakarusa, Indiana, USA:
We never had any problems when my son was on shots, but we will travel for the first time with his pump. Do you have travel guidelines for traveling with an insulin pump?
We have a general page about Flying With Diabetes that includes these tips:
- Notify screeners if you're wearing an insulin pump and ask if they will visually inspect the pump since it cannot be removed from your person.
- Insulin pumps and supplies must be accompanied by insulin with professionally printed labels described above.
With that said, it has been our personal experience, traveling with my daughter who wears an insulin pump, that you need do nothing special. My daughter has never pointed out her pump. When going through airport security, she removes all metal from her person -- especially medical identification products -- and walks through the metal detector. I don't recall her insulin pump ever setting off the detector.
During a recent trip, the inspectors had a question about something in our carry-on bag that was filled with diabetes supplies (test strips, lancets, pen needles, pump supplies, etc.). After two trips through the X-ray machine, we discovered the item that was causing the concern: two foil-wrapped anti-nausea suppositories. The foil was shaped such that it looked like a knife blade.

Inspiration is wide concept; it takes work and time to find the first idea that will launch the rest. An old drawing or a previous project that I had initiated years ago can come back to life and give me a first start. It can also be a book that I have read or that I would like to illustrate in a painting or a piece of music that I like which I want to see in colors.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Merik Coltrain | "Context II" Award Winner
The freedom of having the painting dictate itself and evolve is what makes it exciting for me! It always keeps it fresh and new and never finds itself repeating. I have a lot of energy and emotion that comes through me into the canvas. What comes out of me and onto the canvas is what it's supposed to be. I don't try and change that; it's me in paint form and I run with it! [It's a] very organic and intuitive [process].Read More
Artist Spotlight: Andrew Caldwell | "Tell Me A Story" Award Winner
I'm creating narrative images that address the gap between outside perceptions and the internal realities of home. My mother was a hoarder and my childhood experience was extremely difficult, but from the outside, all was well. This obviously had a profound impact and continues to be, as one of my mentors aptly coined it "psychic manure" for my work. The source images for the work were taken mostly in North Carolina, with some others coming from trips back and forth to Michigan. The images are heavily influenced by the hills and dynamic cloudscapes of the Appalachian Mountains as well as the isolation and vast spaces of the Midwest. An important element in all of my recent work is the desire to tell a story.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Voytek | "Tell Me A Story" Award Winner
"I feel so fortunate to live the life I have. I do not own hotels, golf courses or airplanes, but I own so many great memories. I do have quite [a] wide perspective on life. I am ashamed of our kind so often. At the same time, I know that I am not strong enough to act at the level I know I should. I am one level below and I keep pointing [to] my findings; ignorance to other human being needs, arrogant application of our "better" findings, inability to resign from from selfish needs. Aristotle said, '... the biggest strength and power we, humans, possess is not to use one.'"Read More
Artist Spotlight: Susan Campbell | "The Nth Degree" Award Winner
"I believe the detours and the off-ramps are a crucial part of how any artist develops their world view. When I moved to Canada, my design discipline shifted its focus from the production of information design toward community design and urban planning. Having taken the long route, I now spend a great deal of effort reassessing the social purpose of design, particularly in regard to creating healthy spaces to live, work and play. It's not as straightforward as designing a solution to a problem. For me, it's more about raising questions and generating discussion about the kinds of spaces we want to live in.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Shannon Soldner | "The Nth Degree" Award Winner
My goal is not to get people to connect with me, but to truly connect with themselves, to ask themselves questions about who they really are as people. When we do that, we realize we have similarities with those around us, shared struggles. I believe that true change - both personal and social change - comes from that still, quiet place within each of us where we face the fables and mythologies we create in our own lives and, in turn, question our preconceived notions about others.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Peggy Wyman | "The Nth Degree" Award Winner
I am an artist by accident. I have a degree in mathematics from the University of Idaho. Back in the early '90s, I left a successful career in the computer industry to, I hoped, become a rich and renowned author of historical novels. Over the course of the next 12 years, I struggled mightily to bring my dream into reality and gave birth to four such books, two of which actually got published. Though that dreamed-of fame and wealth never materialized, writing turned out to be the stepping-stone to something even better: my current life as a fiber sculptor.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Emily Victory | "The Nth Degree" Award Winner
I love math because it is explorable. There is always something new to learn, to see, and to discover. The minute you solve one problem, it opens so many more doors for solutions to future problems.
I really love understanding things completely. I swear I am incapable of memorization. If I just try to learn a process, it's lost to me and forgotten soon after. But, if I figure things out for myself - strip the math of its scary numbers and symbols - and just focus on the patterns and expiration... that's where true learning and understanding comes in.
Artist Spotlight: Daniel Hunt | "Luck of the Draw" Award Winner
Metal is stable, yet malleable. You can beat it, heat it, grind it, weld it, and even very thin parts have structural integrity. I really enjoy the process of mold-making, changing a positive form to a negative and back to a positive. Ultimately though, it all rests on how it can be used communicate my ideas.
C.W. Ammen, author of The Metalcaster's Bible, infers that a person can work a lifetime and never know everything about the process, and he was correct. Foundry work is continual problem-solving with complete physical involvement. The more I know, the more I realize I don't know, and that pushes me to the next inquiry.
Artist Spotlight: Sarah Ferguson | "Luck of the Draw" Award Winner
I draw inspiration from the natural world, myth, symbol and story, from the collaborative process, and being open to possibility and chance. The energy and give and take of the collaborative process is always part of my work with children and other community-based art projects. I was part of a bi-lingual storytelling group that used music, puppets and masks to share stories with children and families in libraries throughout northwest Oregon. Along with five other artists, I am part of a critique group which meets monthly to share current projects and offer feedback to each other.
Artist Spotlight: Alejandro Macias | "Luck of the Draw" Award Winner
I still lean heavily on figurative work due to my struggle with identity, not just in terms of art, but what it means to be human and Mexican-American living in a border town. I am interested in character, persona, and the aesthetic design that correlates with those characteristics. I typically select elements of design that will connect to heritage and social concerns.Read More
FAC Artist Spotlight: Lisa Hinrichs
There is something distinctly invitational about Studio 9 at the Foundry Art Centre. It could be the vibrant light streaming in from the windows and reflecting off the clean, bright surfaces of the work tables. One of the tables has plenty of open seating, suggesting the potential for a communal gathering. It could also be the natural warmth that Lisa Hinrichs' media exudes; the mixtures of bright and muted hues within the woolen fibers tempt the viewer to reach out and experience her artwork through their fingertips. Lisa is intimately familiar with the comfort that fiber art can bestow not only on the viewer, but on the maker.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Angela Carbone | "Arbitrary Color" Award Winner
I strive to present truth and hope to connect with people by capturing social awareness. My sculptures are intended to draw attention to provocative issues, beliefs, and memories. The work offers an appealing exterior impression in an effort to obscure or conceal the interior narrative. I invite the audience to critically observe the world while visually highlighting injustices that thread together a mutual consciousness.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Rick Dallago | "Arbitrary Color" Award Winner
I took a painting class in high school. This was back in the day when public schools had decent art programs. Mrs. Zeller opened my eyes and mind to art and art history. I still use much of what she taught me about color theory, technique, and composition. Not every student is an engineer, so we can't let art and music disappear from school curriculum. I was raised in New York City where all the amazing art museums and galleries were at my fingertips. It was no big deal to pop into the Museum of Modern Art for an hour. There's nothing like seeing art in person and imagining the artist's touch.Read More
FAC Event: Poetry Out Loud
On Wednesday, February 15, the Foundry Art Centre hosted the Poetry Out Loud competition for the St. Charles region. Eight talented students recited poems from memory and performed them for an audience in the Grand Hall.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Nancy Kruse | "Arbitrary Color" Award Winner
"I knew that I wanted to incorporate their outrageous colors into my paintings, but not the exuberant brushstrokes that also defined their works. In direct opposition to the expressionistic style of the Fauves, I turned to painting more controlled and detailed scenes, an influence from the realists. Hence, my paintings contained recognizable subject matter taken from my family photos of everyday scenes that touched upon my life."Read More
FAC Artist Spotlight: Ann Croghan
Inspired by the Impressionists, primarily Monet and Van Gogh, Ann uses color in a similar fashion by letting the viewer's eye blend the colors applied to her canvas. She uses acrylic paints which allow her to layer more often as the paint dries more quickly than other media.
"As a colorist, I am constantly experimenting with color. Using transparent layers of color, I develop complex color relationships and intriguing depths that viewers often describe as ethereal." Ann's color usage and expressive mark-making draw the viewers into the depths of a painting, where even the darkest areas convey color and light shining from below.Read More
FAC Artist Spotlight: Jody Williams
The walls of Studio 2 &3 are lined with dozens and dozens of drawings, paintings, and photographs bursting with bright hues. Overlapped watercolor paintings are arranged by colors of the rainbow and square photographs organized in a neat grid across the south wall invite visitors through the double doors to study each image. The common thread connecting all the different media represented in Jody Williams' studio is stated in her moniker: Botanical By Nature.Read More
Artist Spotlight: Jeff Hensley | "Concerning the Spiritual" Award Winner
"Making art definitely enhances my skills as a facilitator for thoughts. Experimenting with materials is also an extremely important part of the creative process for me. Beyond that, I think within the work itself there are material connections with people. I get a lot of questions about why I use gold, or how I make my paintings. The materials I use have a deeper story and history with people, and I think it is good to remind viewers of that and revisit them in a contemporary mindset."Read More
Artist Spotlight: Troy Yamasaki | "Concerning The Spiritual" Award Winner
"The piece also relates to the Zen practice of koan meditation. In this tradition, practitioners provoke enlightenment by relentlessly mulling over an obscure riddle-like phrase. Through tireless attempts to solve the riddle, practitioners gain understanding that logic is an inadequate vehicle for perceiving spiritual truth. This is what inspired the gradient of overlapping text, by "destroying" the words, I found that a more profound truth had room to exist."Read More

Is sheet music over?
Spare a thought for the figure you see in the background at recitals and chamber-music concerts, humbly turning pages for the pianist. I have done this job, albeit 20 years ago. The first piece I turned for was the fiendishly difficult Schnittke cello sonata, and I can still remember the sweaty hands, the pounding heart, the fear of getting lost and ruining the whole concert. I don't think I ever really recovered.
But the era of the page turner, and of sheet music itself, may be drawing to an end. A reader tells me that, at a recital by violinist Joshua Bell he attended in the US, the pianist Sam Haywood had used an iPad instead of sheet music, coupled with an AirTurn pedal that let him turn the pages by foot. Given the amount of sheet music one can access instantly (and for free) online at sites such as the Petrucci Music Library, this is intriguing news for musicians. The only thing you can't do – yet – is scribble your fingerings or bowings on to the page.
Rights for interns
There has been much debate about internships in the arts recently: there is a fear that funding cuts are in danger of creating a culture in which arts organisations are tempted to replace paid jobs with unpaid placements – necessarily drawing candidates only from the limited talent pool of those who can afford to work without salary. Arts Council England has (at last) published guidelines on interns. It's all common sense stuff, really: recruit them transparently, be absolutely clear about the terms of their employment – and pay them the minimum wage. Let's hope fairness prevails, unless we want the arts to be even more of a middle-class ghetto.
Julie Walters: yelling at Pinter
There are some lovely stories about 40 years of the Bush theatre in Neil Burkey's new book, Close-Up Magic, which arrives just in time for the London theatre's 40th anniversary next year. There's Stephen Poliakoff's memory of how, as a young dropout from Cambridge, he had the idea for his first play in the time it took to walk up the stairs from the pub below to the theatre above. This was back in the old days when the Bush was simply a makeshift theatre above a pub, as opposed to the handsome building that became its home earlier this year.
And I love Julie Walters's story about how she and her new best friend, one Victoria Wood, would spend their lunchtimes between rehearsals (this was 1978) hanging out of the window and larking around. One day, they saw Harold Pinter at the bus stop below. Walters yelled down: "Hey, Harold ... You write plays don't you?" "Pardon, what?" replied the great man. "You're a writer," yelled Walters. "We could do with one of those up here." At which point Pinter turned his back.
Simon Callow recalls starring in a Kiss of the Spider Woman that, despite critical indifference, played to full houses. It was so popular, he recalls, that "Robert de Niro sent his uniformed chauffeur to queue all day for returns, but none showed up".

1. Re: Building DLL for FDK APIRuss Ward Sep 3, 2013 5:44 AM (in response to fmEveryDay)
Hi fmEveryDay,
First, sorry for the delay. I like fm Every Day too but it was a three-day US holiday and I stayed away from the computer.
Indeed, the documentation is out of date. Assuming FDK11, you need to set this to "Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)". That is the correct setting and no other setting will work. Older versions of the FDK use a different setting, but I'm guessing you are on FDK11.
It can be tricky to get a project set up correctly, so let me know how it goes. I use Express version 2010 as well, so I know it can work. I seem to recall something about a requirement to manually create a resource file when using Express. But I'll leave it here for now and see how you get along.
2. Re: Building DLL for FDK APIfmEveryDay Sep 3, 2013 8:06 AM (in response to Russ Ward)
That's nice to know. I'm using FDK9 at the moment, but the winds of change are blowing toward FM11, so I will probably start the basics that I need and then port it when the time comes. The resource file was tricky because there is no resource editor in VS Express. I think I got it (it builds without error, so it must be right), but I have not inspected the resulting DLL yet.
3. Re: Building DLL for FDK APIRuss Ward Sep 3, 2013 10:07 AM (in response to fmEveryDay)
For all versions of the FDK before 11, I use Multi-threaded (/MT). I use VS2008 for all of those, though. I am confident that the /MT switch builds a robust DLL, but I won't say that /MD can't work. I've just never used it. If the DLL compiles without errors and doesn't crash FM when it loads, I'd say you are probably in good shape.
4. Re: Building DLL for FDK APIchuckvorndran Feb 5, 2015 1:00 PM (in response to fmEveryDay)
The FDK12 Programmer's Guide has been out for over a year now, since January 2014. That "Compiling, Registering, and Running FDK Clients" section in the new guide still says to select Single Threaded with Visual Studio 2010. Heck, Microsoft pulled the Single Threading option in Visual Studio 2005. I'm wondering how Adobe ever validates its documentation. And what do they use to build the FDK libraries in Single Threaded mode in the first place?
So, yes I have to still put up with the "defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs;" warning.

3 Pacing Strategies to PR Your Next Race
Table of Contents
Pre-Marathon Progression Runs
These are harder and longer progression runs that typically involve running at half-marathon race pace or faster for extended periods of time. They are used to briefly stimulate the aerobic and metabolic systems, but without putting either system in too much distress. These types of progression runs allow a runner to simulate the pace and some of the fatigue of a race without complete breakdown that an extended hard effort might bring on.
When: Once or twice late in a marathon training cycle.
How: Run 16 to 18 miles in which the first half is done at a moderate pace and the second half is at 80 to 95 percent of half-marathon race pace.

How to Add Upcycling Into Your Home Decor
Got an old dresser gathering dust in your attic? Or maybe you inherited your mother's Mason jar collection but not her love of canning? Instead of trashing it, try upcycling hand-me-downs into something new. There are a million options for turning one person's trash into another person's treasure. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Vintage Dressers -- Transform an old wooden dresser into a charming bathroom vanity, a television stand for your guest room or a storage bench for the front entryway. All it takes is a little bit of paint and some DIY know-how!
Window Shutters -- Give old wooden window shutters new life as a room divider, shabby chic sideboard, succulent planter, wall-mounted magazine holder or a cottage-inspired armoire.
Posts and Railings -- Turn those architectural elements into functional furniture. Used wood stairway posts are useful as legs on a children's desk. Just add a wooden top and a fresh coat of bright paint, and you have a colorful place for the kids to study.
Old Doors and Windows -- Repurpose old doors and windows into beautiful furniture pieces with a touch of history. Turn doors into kitchen tables, nightstands, room dividers, headboards and coffee tables. Repurpose windows into picture frames or a chalkboard calendar.
Mason Jars -- Convert Mason jars into fun, functional home accessories. From wall-mounted bathroom storage to patio lanterns, here are a few DIY projects you can tackle over the weekend.
If you need some help with your upcycling, Houston has many resources for beginners who want to tackle repurposing projects. Houston Makerspace, located in an EADO warehouse, offers classes and memberships where you can master a variety of skills from woodworking to ceramics to metalsmithing. Texas Art Asylum, also in EADO, is a craft warehouse meets thrift shop where they host a schedule of classes geared toward creative re-use. Check their website for the 2016 schedule. Adkins Architectural Antiques in Midtown maintains a wood shop on their premises to assist in renovation projects that go beyond DIY.

Author Notes: A fragrant, yellow-hued, Spanish-inspired scone. Basically, there are a number of ways that you can get flavor into a scone, the most straightforward being by throwing chunks of something directly into the dough, like chocolate chips or blueberries. Or, if you happen to be making a cream scone, you can infuse the cream like you would to make a flavored ganache. Saffron is expensive, but a little goes a long way. —sugarmountaintreats
Makes: 8 scones
cup heavy cream
teaspoon saffron threads
cups all-purpose flour
tablespoon baking powder
teaspoon salt
tablespoons sugar
tablespoons unsalted butter
teaspoon vanilla extract
cup marcona almonds
tablespoon roughly chopped candied ginger
raw sugar, for sprinkling
- In a small saucepan, bring cream and saffron to a boil. Lower heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Chill in refrigerator, at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Slice butter very thinly, then return to refrigerator to keep cold. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Remove the cream from the refrigerator; it should be a pale golden color.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until very fluffy. Add in cold butter slices and work together quickly until no pieces of butter larger than a small pea remain. Do not overwork the dough. Add in the almonds and ginger and mix thoroughly. Pour about 2/3 cup heavy cream over the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork until a wet but cohesive dough forms. If necessary, add more cream by the tablespoon. Knead a few times with your hands.
- Turn the dough out onto the baking sheet and pat into a round about 3/4-inch thick and 8 inches wide. Brush another tablespoon or so of the saffron cream on top and sprinkle all over with raw sugar. Cut into eight equal wedges, then gently pull the wedges apart to give them room to expand. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until very lightly browned at the edges and no longer soft to the touch. Let cool on the baking sheet. Scones are best if eaten within 24 hours and left uncovered.

"Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably." Similarly, mixing vintage and modern styles has given birth to a unique genre. Though, fashion changes every now and then, mixing and matching is one of the most favored and successful trends within the jewelry sector.
More specifically, pairing up new and classic designs has gained popularity. However, to make this fusion a success, maintaining a sense of balance between these two styles is important. Certainly, coherence and creativity arise when frequently experimenting. Let's make it easier and give you more ways of mixing and matching; here are a few inspiring ideas and products from Angara you can flaunt for a more glamorous appeal:
Embroidery on plain wedding bands: In ancient times, brides and grooms exchanged plain metal wedding rings. Since then, tools and modern technology have brought creativity into our hearts. Designers have given a little twist to once accepted plainness by adding embroidery on the surface of a simple metal band. This presents and provided an opening for perfect combinations of classic and modern designs. You can buy such exclusive ring pieces from Angara at direct source discounted prices and great value. They handcraft all of their jewelry in-house, so they can personalize your jewelry and exceed your expectations. Further, here are some of the most customer liked examples you may find impressive:
Floral patterns in unique shapes: Incorporating floral pattern in jewelry has been popular for some time, including the famous Diana Ring. However, the design has made a remarkable resurgence in recent years. Combining flower or leaf-like designs, with modern shapes of stones such as square, make an eye-catching statement, and may often be affiliated with nature. Take a look at the below strikingly beautiful blue sapphire studs. Giving them as a gift to your friend, mother or cousin can bring lots of love, hugs and kisses to you:
Stacking gold with diamond bracelets: Yellow gold is considered a timeless and traditional metal type. Although, a diamond is not a newcomer, they've made a significant impact on modern diamond bracelet designs. For a mix-and-match style, you can stack simple gold bangle and stylish diamond bracelets on your hand, either alternatively or more distinctively. Here are some elegant pieces, hand-picked by Angara and popularly by Angara customers:
You may be aware of more mix and match antique and voguish jewelry styles. Share your ideas and tell us how artistic you can become. We will be glad to see your creative talent come to life.

A fellow Kosher Connection blogger wrote about potatoes as an "if you could only eat one food…" If I had to choose only one food to eat, three meals a day, for the rest of my life, it would be pizza. There's nothing like a classic pie with tomatoes, mozzarella and a sprinkling of fresh basil. Continue reading
Lemony Kale Salad with Almonds, Olives and Pomegranate
I wish I had thought of making this for Rosh Hashana this year. I could have replaced the kale with chard for a non-traditional siman. Oh well, maybe next year. For now, I will just have to share with you a delicious kale salad. It has crunch from almonds, a salty tang from green olives and pomegranate, which can do no wrong in my book. Continue reading
Tiramisu is probably my favorite favorite dessert . It always order it in a restaurant if it's on the menu. That is, unless I'm at a kosher steakhouse. Pareve tiramisu isn't even worth it. So, as a Kosher Foodie, why don't I ever make it myself? We make all sorts of complicated recipes (see: cronuts), and tiramisu is actually quite simple. Continue reading
Roasted Vegetable Soup
Fall is here! That means butternut squash and soup weather. Now, I know we always share butternut squash soup recipes with you, but this one is different. This one also has roasted sweet potato and carrot. And coconut milk! Perfect for the rainy and gross weather today.
This is also one of the easiest soup recipes ever. No chopping and stirring, no waiting for the onions and garlic to brown and adding dashes and pinches of things. Just place vegetables in the oven and forget about them until a timer beeps. Then blend it all together. That's it. It's delicious and refreshing, and perfect for the cool fall days! Continue reading
Crispy Smashed Potatoes
Good morning, readers! Things have been a bit hectic in the lives of Kosher Foodies, but not hectic enough in our kitchens! Since we last posted a few weeks ago, Jessica gave birth to a baby girl and I vacationed in California. Continue reading
Green Mac & Cheese: September Spread the Joy Linkup
Happy September! This month, the Kosher Connection is spreading the joy the best way we know how to; with food! I"m excited to see what everyone comes up with this month, since it's not much of a foodie theme. We are spreading the joy with freezer food for a mom-to-be; Jessica! She's due on Friday and has been stocking her freezer with healthy goodies so she won't have to cook for a long time, so I made this green mac & cheese for both of us. I split it in two, put half in my freezer and half in hers. Continue reading
Lemon and Pistachio Praline and Meringue Torte + Happy First Birthday, Eddie!
Today, my nephew Eddie turns 1! It's not every day your first baby turns 1, so when Adele asked me to bake a cake for his birthday party, I told her to pick any recipe and I would make it. Adele loves lemon desserts, and she chose this awesome and fancy torte. I told her I'd only make it if I could make another cake, too. I ended up baking vanilla cupcakes so that Eddie and the other small guests would enjoy a dessert, as well.
His birthday party was a little early, because the holidays got in the way of his birthday plans. Which was great for our blogging schedule, because we were able to post this in time for his big day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EDDIE! Continue reading
Swiss Chard for Rosh HaShanah
I know we just shared a swiss chard recipe, but being that Rosh HaShanah is right around the corner, I also have to share the traditional seder swiss chard recipe.
It's pretty easy to make, though washing and chopping all the swiss chard takes some time. Unless you let the supermarket do that for you… Continue reading
Swiss Chard Slaw with Creamy Scallion Dressing
Summertime and holidays mean big family dinners! It's not often that everyone is home for dinner, but when we're all around, we have to try new things, while also eating healthy green vegetables!
What are cronuts, you ask? Well, really they're just croissants cut into the shape of doughnuts and fried. And they're amazing. Really. We made these a while ago, but because of a crazy busy summer we have not had time to post much.
We've been hearing about the cronut craze for a while now, but have never been to Dominique Ansel for a real one. We're pretty sure these homemade, fresh out of the fryer ones are just as good though! Continue reading

RIP Assay Kits for the Immunoprecipitation of Ribonucleoproteins from Cell Extracts
MBL have developed two RIP assay kits which enable the immunoprecipitation of mRNA-RBP (RNA binding protein) complexes with RBP specific antibodies.
RIP-Chip works on the same principle as the widely used ChIP-chip. It is the immunoprecipitatation of ribonucleoproteins (RNP) from cell extracts using an antibody raised against the RBP of interest. This procedure is then followed by microarray analysis.
MBL provide 2 RIP assay kits:
The RIP-assay kit for RNA for the immunoprecipitation of mRNP complexes and isolation of mRNA
The RIP-assay kit for microRNA, for the immunoprecipitation of mRNP complexes and isolation of functionally related mRNAs and miRNAs. The kit provides 3 different protocols for either the 1) isolation of small RNAs 2) simultaneous isolation of both small and large RNAs 3) separate isolation of small and large RNAs .
For RIP-assay starter kits, see here , these kits contain a trial size of the RIP certified antibody (40 ug) and the full sized version the RN1001.
Principles of RIP-Assay Kit
1). Biological approach to find functionally related genes f disease pathways
2). Analyse post-transcriptional regulated genes
3). Establish novel components of cellular pathways
4). Identify new drug mechanisms
5). Identification of RNAs in RNP complexes can be done in a few hours
6). Largest selection of antibodies validated for RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation
The RIP-assay kit for RNA Product Code: RN1001
The RIP-assay kit for microRNA Product Code: RN1005

Ketl Freedman-Doan, President
Get to know Ketl: TBE has been my spiritual home for over 25 years, and I served on the temple board in various roles for over 10 years.
My daughters attended religious school here from pre-K through high school and loved their experiences going to class,
singing in the choir, and being a part of AARTY. I am honored to be serving as TBE's president during this transition in the life of the congregation.
I will draw on my experiences as Department Head in Psychology at Eastern Michigan University in helping to shepherd in the next generation of TBE leaders.
I look forward to meeting all of you (please introduce yourself a few times - I'm terrible at remembering names!) and getting to learn even more about TBE.

Culture and Policy in the Pacific
Tuesday, Thursday 9.45 – 11.00 am
7C Atherton Hall
Instructor: Dr. Margaret Werry
Office Hours: Tuesday 1.30 – 3.30pm, 202 Ihlseng Cottage (or by appointment)
Contact: email@example.com, 865 0495 - Pennsylavania State University
Course Objectives
The goal of this course is to examine the issues and debates surrounding the tourism and culture industries in the Pacific. By the end of the semester, students should be:
The Questions
What are the social and cultural consequences of tourism in these countries, and what do their residents think about it? How does tourism affect the indigenous people tourists come to see, and who profits from this traffic? What policies should states and businesses pursue to ensure the respectful representation of indigenous cultures in museums and tourism entertainment, and the greatest benefit to local, national and regional economic development? What do policy makers need to know about regional history and indigenous culture, and about the culture of tourism itself?
(available at Penn State Bookstore, HUB)
Other articles and links will be available through Electronic Reserve, on the LIAS website.
Midterm Exam
Due: Tuesday, March 4
An open-book exam, based on assigned readings and discussions up to this date.
Final Assignment
Due: Week 16 (April 29 and May 1)
In groups of three, you will present orally and in writing a report of approx. 15 pages (5 pages per student), based on assigned readings, lectures, and discussions. The instructor will distribute full details of the assignment in Week 10 of class.
The report will take the form of a brief for the US Trade Representative to a fictional Pacific nation. The Trade Rep is new to the post, and is being approached by local businessmen and multinational tourism corporations to help smooth the way for the expansion of the tourism industry in the region. She wants to know about the experience of similar Pacific nations that have undertaken development strategies that made tourism a larger part of their economies: what impact has this had on the economic and social stability of these nations, and on their relations with the United States? What has public opinion in these nations had to say about the development? What do scholars, and major international and regional NGOs have to say about tourism development? What are some possible strategies that might be pursued, based on the experience of these nations?
Spring Break fieldtrip and notes
Due: Tuesday, March 18
During Spring Break, students will select a tourism or heritage attraction to visit, and submit 5 pages of fieldnotes describing their experience. The instructor will distribute a guide to writing fieldnotes in the week before Break.
News We Can Use portfolio
Due: Tuesday, April 29, and throughout semester
Throughout the semester, you will monitor US news media, and internet news sources from Hawai'i, New Zealand, and other Pacific nations. You should look for material pertaining to:
At the beginning of each class session, we will spend 5 minutes sharing and discussing the items you have selected. You will submit a portfolio collection of these clippings, along with source citations, notes, and questions, at the end of the semester.
Portfolios will be given a letter grade based on:
In-class Reading Responses
Due: 6 times, spread throughout semester
· a check- will be awarded to adequate work, which shows that you have read and understood the material;
· a check goes to work which shows that you have thought carefully about the question, and are able to draw on specific examples or instances in the reading to support your points;
a check+ is reserved for responses that make especially
perceptive observations, draw connections with other issues covered in reading
or lectures, and asks other pertinent questions that provoke discussion.
Mini Research presentations
Due: 11 February; 13 February
In groups of two, you will make a presentation of no more than 10 minutes to the class, and provide them with a handout that clearly summarizes the content of your presentation. This presentation will be on one of two things:
Groups will be formed in class on 1/30, and will sign up for a specific organization or destination at that time (to prevent duplication of work).
10% Midterm quiz
10% Reading responses
30% Final assignment
10% Springbreak fieldtrip and notes
10% News We Can Use portfolio
10% Mini-Research Presentation
20% Attendance and contribution to class discussion
Readings and Responsibilities
Because this course prioritizes process as much as product, a large part of your grade will be based on your participation in and preparation for class sessions. You must complete all readings by the date specified, and to come to class prepared to complete Reading Response Assignments and actively engage in discussion of the material. If you are absent for a class session in which reading materials or assignments are handed out, it is your responsibility to obtain these from the instructor before the next class session.
Attendance is required at all class meetings. In the case of family emergency, illness, or injury, you are expected to notify the instructor by 'phone or email in a timely fashion. If you have more than two unexcused absences during the semester, your final grade will be reduced by one grade point for each missed class. You will not receive credit for this class if you have excessive absences. Class begins promptly at 9.45am: be on time and be prepared.
Academic Integrity Policy
University Policies and Rules Guidelines states that academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at The Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the University community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the University's Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal integrity, respect other students' dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts. Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the University community and compromise the worth of work completed by others.
Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to acts such as cheating on exams or assignments; plagiarizing the words or ideas of another; fabricating information or citations; facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others; claiming authorship of work done by another person; submitting work completed in previous classes; and/or submitting the same work to multiple classes in which a student is enrolled simultaneously.
May 12 – 26, 2003
1 course credit (Summer Session)
Course Description:
This course takes students on a two-week study trip to Hawai'i and New Zealand, two countries with vastly different approaches to tourism. Students will visit major tourist sights, and go behind the scenes as well, staying in a Maori community, and talking with tourism policy-makers, managers, critics and workers. On the study trip, students will be participant-observer ethnographers of tourism culture, documenting their experiences of tourism attractions and environments, and their interactions with "locals" and experts, in a detailed field-journal.
10% A 2 page statement outlining the student's learning goals as a participant in the study trip. Due: 10 May.
30% Participation in all class activities and discussions
60% A set of critical field-notes based on journal entries, reflecting analytically on the student's experience by making reference to the authors covered in ART297H. Due: 6 June.
Priority will be given to students who complete ART297H, but enrolling in this course does not guarantee you a place on the trip. If more students wish to join the trip than there are spaces available, the final decision will be made by lottery. However, the instructor reserves the right to take into consideration:

AUSTIN - Senator Bill Ratliff, Republican from Mount Pleasant, announced his resignation from the Texas Senate today, November 20, 2003, effective January 10, 2004.
He was first elected to serve the citizens of Senate District 1 in 1988. During his fifteen years in the Senate, he also had the opportunity to serve as Lieutenant Governor and President of the Senate during the 77th Legislature in 2001.
When asked, Ratliff said he could not see himself running for any other elected office.
At his press conference in the Senate Chamber today, Ratliff said "I could never have imagined, in my wildest dreams, that during my career I would be given the opportunity to chair the Senate Education Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate State Affairs Committee, and to author major legislation in all those committees. Even more unbelievable would have been the prospect that I would have been chosen by my colleagues to serve this state as its 41st Lieutenant Governor."
When asked what his biggest regret was among that string of accomplishments he replied that he was sorry that he had not been able to do more for the school teachers of Texas. He also thanked the citizens of District 1 for returning him to the Senate in four succeeding elections giving him what he called "the freedom to use my best judgment in representing their interests in Austin. That freedom has allowed me to vote my convictions and ignore the pressures of political partisanship or other special interests."
In eight sessions, Ratliff was named one of Texas' best legislators by Texas Monthly Magazine six times.
Ratliff submitted his letter of resignation to the Governor's Office today, asking the governor to call a special election to fill the Senate seat for District 1 at the earliest possible time. Ratliff said he wanted the seat to remain vacant for no longer than absolutely necessary.
