AllPosters would like you to load up on posters of World Series 2010.
Here are the two shots I have from them. I would assume that these show Game 2 and Game 5, respectfully, but I couldn't find the first one in the Game 2 section so I gave up.
But anyway, the thumbnail shots they have are a library in themselves.
The colors here are a little saturated for my tastes, but this certainly is a memorable scene:

Uncertainty over compliance and regulatory requirements remains the top reason CFPs steer clear of using social media for professional use, according to a just-released survey by the CFP Board.
The survey of 3,532 CFP professionals, completed in October 2012, found that while 73% of those CFPs surveyed say they use social media, only about 45% of CFPs use it for professional purposes. The three top reasons CFPs do not use social media for professional purposes include:
- Compliance prohibitions and limitations (37%);
- Uncertainty over compliance and regulatory requirements (33%); and
- Lack of time (20%).
CFP professionals' compliance departments prohibit them most often from using:
- Facebook (33%);
- Twitter (29.4%); and
- YouTube (28.7%)
Kevin Keller, CFP Board's CEO, said in a statement that "these results indicate that CFP professionals are interested in using social media as a platform to educate the public about the value of financial planning and why they should use a CFP professional in addition to using it as a tool to network."
However, Keller continued, "more work needs to be done though to help CFP professionals and others better understand the rules of the road when it comes to the use of these communication tools."
To provide CFPs with best practice tips and enhance their current social media strategy, CFP Board released the same day a Social Media Guide for CFP Professionals.
Additional highlights of the CFP Board survey include:
- The most popular social media channel for professional use is LinkedIn (81.9%), followed by blogs (71.8%), Twitter (45.9%), Google+ (34.5%) and Facebook (19.6%)
- Top reasons cited for using social media professionally are to:
- Network with other financial planning professionals (44.8%)
- Keep up with professional news and trends (43.1%)
- Marketing and business promotion (33.1%)
- 61.2% of CFP professionals post to social media channels "infrequently"
- 70% stated their firm or company has a formal social media policy in place. These policies most often address:
- Procedures for monitoring social media usage by compliance departments (67.6%)
- Limitations on topics that may be shared or discussed on social media channels (64.7%)
- Requirements for prior approval of all outgoing communication on social media (63.8%)
- 41% of respondents use "certified financial planner professional" to describe themselves to clients. The terms "financial advisor" and "financial planner" were also commonly used.

"Enormously heavy hard rock that blends fat chunks of metal, and bone crushing weight ala the Melvins with some of the scorched glam racket of T-Rex at their most overloaded. They are also capable of more subtle psychoactivated actions and interactions."- Dream Magazine
"Less than subtle hints of glam greats (some Bolan, Sweet, Bowie and the rest) all in there. Then they took some Smashing Pumpkins and took out the lyrics and used a Jane's Addiction song. Borrowed a few Walt Mink riffs and a little Hedwig and for an added kick, a little Melvins riff or two and yes, the singer Mykll Ziggy plays guitar as well. They are sure to be superstars by the next CD so get this now before they get too famous."- The Rise and The Fall
"Turn Me on Dead Man has released its second CD, "Technicolor Mother," which... sounds like total f'ing godhead. As pleasing as their first CD was, this new record is a step in the right direction as it ups the ante in terms of heaviness, songwriting and execution.Despite less-than-stellar CD packaging... and cheesy song titles such as "Cyclops (Dedicated to the One Eye Love)," Turn Me On Dead Man's music is nothing short of stupendous with its driving and relentless sludge fest that is part early-Sub Pop and part Black Sabbath at their most devastating and creative.Turn Me on Dead Man gets downright trippy on "Wonder Mint" which continues the band's fascination with Beatles' "Revolver"-era fusion of classical Indian music and rock and roll. The result is a dynamic blend of world music that sounds like Ravi Shankar played through huge Marshall amps backed by Jane's Addiction.While Turn Me on Dead Man remains San Francisco's best-kept-secret, Alternative Tentacles is set to right that wrong by reissuing the CD this fall, which is bound to turn on a generation of stoner slackers who worship Comets on Fire and those who remember how good JA were before they jumped the shark.It's only matter a time before a band of Turn Me on Dead Man's caliber has a big impact; the only question is whether the band's ascent will start out with them becoming indie cult favorites or whether they will pass go and make the massive leap straight to the majors. Either way, music this good shouldn't go unheard."- phillyburbs.com

I use "gold deposit" during the summer to make my bronzers a bit more shimmery and warmer for my evening looks. I wouldn't use it on its own, since I'm too fair for such deep colour. On top of that, trying to build it up would probably end in lots of sparkle on my face (kind of a disco ball effect-not cool). Overall, I would say it's a decent product and a nice colour, but it must be used cautiously!
By Emily 2 years ago.
This shade blew me out of the water, it is absolutely gorgeous. I was looking for a versatile highlight that I could build up, wear alone, wear intensely, or wear lightly, and this totally fits the bill. Don't let the colorful veins scare you: they all blend together to create an incredibly unique, wearable and stunning highlight that has a very light iridescent effect. I get so many compliments on my makeup when I wear Lightscapade! You get so much product in the pan which is awesome since this product is $32, and I'm pretty sure I won't be running out of this for a long long time even though I use this shade nearly every day. This is a gem in my collection and I have nothing similar to it which I love. I am a shade NW 15 in most of MAC's foundations for reference. However, I truly believe any skin tone could pull this off. If you're looking for an absolutely gorgeous, versatile highlight to add to your collection, or you're new to highlighting and want something that will look very natural, try this, you will be in love.
By Emily 2 years ago.
I went into my local MAC counter the other day to find a good fall blush color and while swatching/trying out new shades, a makeup artist applied a bit of this over my blush and on my lids, and WOW, this is amazing! I thought that this shade would be way too dark/intense for my NW 15 skin, but not at all, it gave my face some seriously gorgeous dimension and highlight! I really think this could be used in so many ways: a blush, bronzer, a slightly darker highlight, or even an eyeshadow. Plus, though its $32 you get SO MUCH product, I\'m sure I wouldn\'t run out for years. So impressed... I didn\'t come home with it that time, but I think I\'m gonna need to make a trip back to the MAC store really soon to take this home!
By Małgorzata 2 years ago.
My review applies only to the shade Porcelain Pink. In the beginning I'd like to emphasise that it's the prettiest shade I ever worn - lovely light pink with the right amount of gold sparkles. I have a thing for pink-rose-gold makeup, but every time I get sooo disappointed. It's the same old story with Let's skate Paint Pot, Feminine edge Fluidline and this baby - gold particles are EVERYWHERE in the matter of seconds. I can't just highlight my cheekbones - I somehow end up highlighting all my face, clothes and bathroom. One more thing - the product is super chalky. Regret buying. But it's still so pretty. If only the formula was different...
By Emma 4 years ago.
I think the fact this product is limited is the reason I wanted to buy it so badly, and after finally finding it on counter I had to buy it! I just think it looks so pretty in the pan, but on the skin it's a bit too natural for my liking. I find I really have to apply in layers in order to get it to the level I want. However, it is a great product that applies nicely, and you get a lot in the pan so it will last a while. I would recommend it more for a natural look, and not for those who like a heavily highlighted face.
By Mariella 5 years ago.
This is stunning. It works as a highlighter or as a blush on my NW 15/20 skin. The darker raspberry veining is pigmented and deep enough to work with the lighter shades to make a blush or if I pick up just the lighter pink and more metallic shades from the surface, I can make a flattering highlight that still harmonizes with my cool-toned skin. So glad I got this; so sad it's LE.
By Mariella 5 years ago.
This product is aptly named. It gives the most beautiful, illuminated, candle-lit glow to the cheekbones, browbones or any places of the face and even shoulders/collarbone that you might want to highlight.
By Rad 5 years ago.
Like soft and gentle and adored MSF this product is fantastic. This colour out of the three is the most flattering on my complexion as it has a pretty rosy colour that works as a highlighter and blush. I wore this on its own - the product is quite sheer but easily buildable. It does have a lot of shimmer but its not too glittery to wear every day.
By Rad 5 years ago.
I didn't think this colour would suit my complexion but tried it anyway. I love it. It has a beautiful rose gold colour and is really pigmented. Its a sheer texture that is easily buildable though it is very shimmery. I think its possible to get away with wearing this daily - I used this with some bronzer and it worked really well. Great product!
By Rad 5 years ago.
Beautiful skinfinish! It gives my cheeks a beautiful flushed gold sheen and although it looks really shimmery in the pan, it actually doesn't leave a lot of glitter on the skin. The product is sheer but buildable to get more of that beautiful gold.
By Dimmie 5 years ago.
On my fair (almost translucent!) skin I find that Soft & Gentle is the perfect mineral highlighter for when I want a soft wash of pale gold/shimmery colour. It's a great day highlighter as it doesn't offer too much colour just a subtle wash or at least on my skin tone, however it is buildable (I find it works best when building the colour with a duo-fibre stippling brush or face brush). The great part about this product is you can apply it wet which works best if you want a gorgeous pale gold highlight at night. Soft & Gentle does tend to fade, not so much when you apply it wet (depending on your skin!) and there can be a bit of fall out of in the pan (as is the case with most mineral based products) Overall for me it's a must have highlighter (:
By Jade 5 years ago.
Soft and Gentle is a highlighter within the Mineralize Skinfinish family. It appears champagne and very shimmery/glittery in the pan - on my skin, it is more reflective sheen with noticeable warmth and gold-ness. It is a bit much for daytime wear, so I mostly wear it at night. I frequently get positive comments when I wear this, but they're usually along the lines of "you're very pretty!" as opposed to "I love your makeup". I personally love this product. It's very golden and shimmery, so won't be for everyone.

One of the least talked about aspects of war is the economic fallout. While in general terms, estimates of the assessed damage are tallied, the day-to-day personal impact is rarely discussed.
What happens if a wedding needs to be postponed due to the family's inability to fly in or the groom being called for army service? Can the caterer demand payment for services that were not actually rendered, but for which costs may have been incurred? Can the family demand their deposit back?
Jewish law teaches that one is fully liable for any damages he may cause, "whether accidentally or willfully, whether his is awake or sleeping." However Jewish law does not require payment if damages were caused indirectly. A talmudic example of such is placing a ladder next to a pigeon coup, which then allows a weasel to climb up the ladder and kill the pigeons.
Despite being morally unacceptable, not every moral wrong carries a financial payment. Such payments could only be enforced in a clearly spelled out contract delineating the impact of unforeseeable events.
In the modern economy, where what happens in China, not to mention the United States, has a huge impact economically on Canadians, we well understand how events beyond our control affect us. We're often the victims of unforeseen events. And at times we may be victims of more predictable events, such as when those who are not held accountable for their actions cause damage. Such is the case when a minor kicks a soccer ball through our window. While contemporary practice, and moral correctness, may demand that a parent pay for the damages, from a Jewish legal perspective, there's little one can do. Minors can't be made to pay damages, and parents can't be made to pay for damages they did not cause.
Yet liability does extend beyond one's self, as can be seen from the laws of torts and Chanukah. Ancient marketplaces were often narrow and would be lined with stores, customers, passersby and even animals. People leading animals in the marketplace had to ensure safe passage for others. To use the talmudic example, if someone loads his animal with barley and the barley edges protrude into a store and catch fire from a candle in the store, the animal's owner would be liable for the ensuing damages. Conversely, if the store's owner places his candle outside the store, he would be liable for damages caused.
An interesting debate ensues in the case where a storeowner places his Chanukah candles on the street. The overarching theme of Chanukah is "publicizing the miracle," and the optimal place for lighting candles is outside, in full view of passersby – something quite common in Israel today.
Thus the talmudic sage Rav Yehuda rules that Chanukah is an exception to the above rule, and the storeowner would be exempt from payment. Yet Jewish law rules in accordance with the sages that Chanukah candles or not, a storeowner who puts a candle in a public area is liable for damages. One has the right to walk unencumbered on the street, and one's religious obligations cannot be fulfilled at the expense of inconveniencing others.

Maddon unfazed by AL East competition
As if life hasn't been filled with enough lemons for the low-budget Rays in having to compete with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the American League East, along came the Baltimore Orioles, who joined the Yankees in the 2012 postseason, and now it's the Toronto Blue Jays grabbing offseason headlines with a roster-replenishing 12-player deal with the Miami Marlins.
No big deal, said Maddon.
"We're an equal-opportunity division," Maddon said on Tuesday. "And that's good. It's better for all of us. It should bring out the best in each of us."
Maddon has a team that ranks near the bottom of the AL in payroll, but ranks high in terms of 2013 expectations, despite what is going on in the rest of the division.
"Nothing can be taken for granted," said Maddon. "It is an interesting challenge. I don't see a downside. We like the challenge."
In an effort to recover from last season's disappointment, the Red Sox came to an agreement on a three-year contract with outfielder Shane Victorino on Tuesday, to go along with earlier free-agent signings of outfielder Jonny Gomes, who brings a strong clubhouse presence, catcher David Ross and first baseman/catcher Mike Napoli.
Tampa Bay? The Rays lost center fielder B.J. Upton, who led the team in home runs (28) and RBIs (78) and shared the team lead in stolen bases (31), in free agency to the Atlanta Braves.
With the news that Alex Rodriguez will need surgery on his left hip next month and most likely is out until at least mid-June, the Yankees are looking at a list of free agents, including Stephen Drew, Marco Scutaro, Jeff Keppinger and Mark Reynolds as possible replacements who can provide roster depth once A-Rod comes back.
Tampa Bay? Maddon said right now he'd move left fielder Desmond Jennings to center field in the absence of Upton, although speculation continues that the Rays would give up one of their strong-armed pitchers if they could get a young, impact bat in return.
Baltimore, which slipped ahead of Boston and Tampa Bay to join the Yankees in representing the AL East in the 2012 postseason, has been working hard to make a deal that would add an impact bat to the middle of the Orioles' lineup, with names such as Kansas City's Billy Butler and Eric Hosmer, and Minnesota outfielder Josh Willingham being connected to the O's.
Tampa Bay? The Rays made a buy-low free-agent signing of first baseman James Loney, who is only 28, but is in the process of having Tampa Bay finalize a deal that will guarantee him a base salary of $2 million, a considerable reduction from the $6.375 million he was paid by the Los Angeles Dodgers last year.
Toronto, meanwhile, signed free-agent outfielder Melky Cabrera to a two-year deal, and then shook up the baseball world by acquiring outfielder Emilio Bonifacio, catcher John Buck, left-hander Mark Buehrle, right-hander Josh Johnson and shortstop Jose Reyes from the Marlins for a package primed with prospects.
Tampa Bay? The Rays watched the free-agent fleeing of right-handed reliever Kyle Farnsworth, left-hander J.P. Howell, first baseman Carlos Pena and Keppinger, along with Upton.
What the Rays have not lost, however, is their swagger.
"The victim's complex is not fit for us," said Maddon. "We might not have everything everybody else has, but that doesn't mean we are not successful. We look at it as an interesting challenge for everybody in the organization. We look at it as something that can bring out the best in everybody in the organization. There's no downside."
There is a recent history that reinforces Maddon's claim.
After suffering 90-plus losses in each of their first 10 seasons of existence, the Rays have advanced to the postseason in three of the past five seasons. That's one time fewer than the Yankees, one more than the Red Sox, two more than Baltimore and three more than Toronto.
No reason for that to change now.
Someone's going to win the AL East, and there also are two Wild Card berths available.
And it is no secret that postseason berths aren't claimed in the winter. A reminder of that came as recently as a year ago, when free-spending offseasons led to championship expectations for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who finished third in the AL West, and the Miami Marlins, who wound up last in the National League East.
"This," Maddon said of the Rays' low-budget, high-expectation approach, "is who we are, and we appreciate who we are."
The Rays are winners, and that is the residual effect of a conscientious effort Maddon made to change the franchise's mindset in 2008, Maddon's third year on the job.
"It was all about changing people's thinking," said Maddon. "It happened prior to the 2008 season. We came out with new uniforms, which the players liked, and we signed [free agents] Cliff Floyd and Troy Percival, a sign of ownership's commitment.
"Then we had that fight against the Yankees that spring."
The seeds were planted on March 8, 2008. Elliot Johnson of the Rays barreled into Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, suffering a broken right wrist. There were complaints from Yanks manager Joe Girardi, echoed by several players, that the Rays were too aggressive for Spring Training.
Four days later, Shelley Duncan, one of the most vocal Yankees players, touched off a bench-clearing incident when he went into second base with his spikes raised.
"We stood our turf," said Maddon.
A message was sent.

Dowse eases the configuration of network routing for a local area network, starting from the setup of ARP-level static entries of known peers, IP-level firewall, DHCP configuration, and local DNS cache, up to an application layer transparent proxy and optional gateways to anonymous networks such as Tor and I2P. It consists of a minimalistic script which can run on any GNU/Linux box and which, from a central configuration point, controls Ebtables, Iptables, and all the daemons needed for such operations: DnsMasq, Squid2, and Privoxy. It comes with a module system for contributed add-ons like DNSCrypt-proxy and HTTPS-everywhere.
Forban is a P2P file sharing application for link-local and local area networks. Forban works independently from the Internet and uses only the local area capabilities to announce, discover, search, or share files. Forban relies on HTTP and is opportunistic, meaning that it replicates any files of interest seen in its proximity. The Forban protocols are minimalistic to ease the production of other implementations.
TheSSS (The Smallest Server Suite) is a lightweight server suite distributed as a live CD. It is designed for system administrators who need a small (less than 30MB) set of server software for small local area networks. The supported servers are FTP, HTTP, SFTP, SSH, and Telnet. A proxy server (Polipo) with the Tor anonymizer is also included. The main security components are a 4MLinux Firewall (based on iptables) and Clam AntiVirus.
Traffic Squeezer is a Linux kernel based WAN network traffic accelerator from Doublefish Solutions. It uses methods such as traffic compression, traffic PDU coalescing, protocol specific acceleration (such as TCP acceleration mechanisms), and quality of service. Traffic Squeezer also contains custom L7filters (application protocol filters), DPI (Deep Packet Engines) and so on to control and administrate your traffic. With Traffic Squeezer, you can optimize MPLS,ISDN, leased links, Satellite Networks, and Marine Internet, and even build your own custom WAN Appliance with Traffic Squeezer. A GUI is now supported via Doublefish Solution Aquarium. Aquarium is a Web-GUI that also supports Traffic Squeezer, Squid, and other open source solutions.
USB Network Gate (former USB to Ethernet Connector) easily connects one or more remote USB devices to your computer over Ethernet (Internet/LAN/WAN) as if the device was plugged into your own machine. It helps you share a USB device over Ethernet among multiple computers so people from all over the world (or your office) can use it. By intercepting the USB port activity of a shared USB device and redirecting it via TCP/IP,USB Network Gate lets you access your printer, scanner, Web cam, USB dongle, or any other supported USB device from your home PC or office laptop. Just plug the device in and it will automatically appear on the remote side of the connection. You can secure your USB data by enabling traffic encryption and access your USB devices remotely via WiFi.

With the Adidas announcement last week that college basketball teams would be wearing Zubaz-inspired shorts during March Madness, the Minnesota-based pants maker made its way back into pop culture. To some, Zubaz never left pop culture. And the brilliant marketing strategy from Zubaz is to not really try to be popular again. There's no mention from the company media relations department about the Adidas "Zubaz-inspired" basketball shorts. But that didn't stop media outlets such as Deadspin, ESPN, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Vice, Yahoo and more making reference in Adidas jersey stories. Again, Zubaz wasn't even trying. The company's Twitter account (@zubaz) has a whopping 1,300 followers. Facebook is a little better with 6,400 likes. They're not exactly making news via social media. And it gets better, according to MediaKC.com, Zubaz is sitting back and enjoying the free publicity from Adidas. "We just sit back and laugh," said (Dan) Stock (president of Zubaz), adding that traffic to theZubaz website has soared ever since the new adidas unis were revealed. When we wrote about Zubaz last March, Rob Gronkowski had been spotted working out while wearing the infamous pants. Again, Zubaz wasn't really trying to market itself. Of course Team Gronk received some special gear in the mail, but it's not like Zubaz is popping up in ESPY gift bags. Advice for business and social media majors: start studying Zubaz from the ground up. Filed under: Features, Sub Marquee

Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct descendant of any other programming language.
Excelsior JET is a Java VM enhanced with an Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compiler and deployment toolkit. It is certified Java Compatible on Windows and Linux on Intel x86 hardware. The 64-bit version is in the works. Excelsior JET Optimizer transforms your classes and JARs into high-performance binary executables. Excelsior JET Runtime includes a licensed Sun implementation of the Java API and Excelsior's proprietary JVM, which is responsible for Java memory management, threading, synchronization, security, and JIT compilation of classes that could not be precompiled. The Excelsior JET Installation Toolkit makes it possible to prepare your optimized application for deployment to end-user systems.
The Objeck computer language is an object-oriented computing language with functional features that has ties with Java, C#, and Pascal. In this language, all data types are treated as objects. The language consists of a compiler and VM with an accompanying memory management and JIT compiler.
lcc is a retargetable compiler for ISO Standard C. It generates code for the ALPHA, SPARC, MIPS R3000, and Intel x86 and its successors. Despite the fact that any Linux system will already have gcc, there are reasons for installing lcc as well. lcc is small, compiles more quickly than gcc, and helps prevent some porting bugs. It also gives more useful error messages in some circumstances. This means that it is sensible to use lcc during development, and gcc for the final binary where you want the better optimization.
The GRASP Project has created an algorithmic-level graphical representation for software called the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The CSD was created to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs. Since its creation, the CSD has been expanded and adapted to include other languages. GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. GRASP has been integrated with the GNU family of compilers for Ada (GNAT) and C (gcc), and Sun's javac compiler for Java. Use of GRASP is not restricted to these compilers, however. This has resulted in a comprehensive graphically-based development environment for these languages. The user may view, edit, print, and compile source code as CSDs with no discernible addition to storage or computational overhead.

The Gramps Developers have released:
Version 3.4.3 of Gramps! "'Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown'", a maintenance release.
The main changes are:
- Sorting of names, places etc. uses the International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries which resolves many bugs particularly on MS Windows, and ensures that sorting is the same for all platforms.
- Addon checking and download works again.
- A large number of fixes to Narrative Web. In particular, media objects attached to events and sources are now output.
- Many other bug fixes.
Detailed changes are as follows (numbers in brackets refer to bug numbers):
- Sorting (both in the main display window, and particularly in Narrative Web output) now uses ICU/PyICU (if that module is available). Inclusion of PyICU is 'strongly recommended'. This resolves a number of bugs particularly related to sorting of non-Latin characters, and sorting on MS Windows and Mac OS X. Some changes have been made in Narrative Web to support contractions for alphabetic indices (2933 3434 3933 4423 5088 5645 5767)
- The automatic Addon checking and download now works once again (the location used in Gramps 3.4.2 and before had been changed, so the the automatic process was no longer working)
- Import from Pro-Gen has been updated (at last) to take account of the change to Citations (in 3.4.0) (6195)
- Import and Export of address fields in GEDCOM has been improved so that the round-trip works properly (6382)
- GEDCOM Repositories not imported correctly from FTM for Windows and Heredis (6507)
- Fixes to a number of errors in filtering notes (5058)
- Fix some errors in determining whether someone is alive (e.g. for filtering out alive people) (4719)
- Make availability of GraphViz settings depend on output format
- Improve the descriptions and tooltip for GraphViz aspect ratio option
- Fixed update problems with citation bottombar gramplet (6336)
- Fixed Open Document Text output in Book report (6457)
- LaTeXDoc.py fails to load (6514)
- change the lock strategy and split transactions in Merge citation (06459)
- Crash when attempting to use Book Report (6247, 6229)
- A number of changes to Narrative Web:
- Fix Media objects attached to Marriage events and Sources are not included in Narrative Web Site (6009)
- restructure the families index so families are indexed under both spouses, and the family name is normalised
- separate out Families section in individual and families pages so individual page links to the family page and family page links to both people
- normalise links to families so the link is only displayed if the family page is present, and the gid is included when appropriate
- remove highlighting of media subregions except in the media pages (it was confusing and not very well implemented)
- include people whose surname is absent in the individual, surname and families indexes
- html_escape names and surnames
- always display media thumbnails for first image in Gallery list (in some cases they were suppressed if they had been displayed at the top of the page)
- change partner and parent columns in families index to improve the layout of the HTML and put the comma between multiple partners in the right place
- use event description (where present) instead of just event type in back references
- fix bug in the way obj_dict and bkref_dict were initialised
- fix missing document.png for missing media
- fixed problems that bibliography ignores media attached to citations, so if that is the only 'interesting' thing about the citation, the citation media is not output
- Replaced person link routine with one that takes into account whether there is a page for the person
- Included repository reference media type and call number in the 'Repositories' section of the relevant source instead of the Repository page
- Implemented a generalised back reference function to display the 'References' section of all pages. This recursively displays references till one is found for which a page exists
- Removed list of people and families from heading of the event pages as these are now in the 'References' section
- Fixed Narrated Web Site not copying Source Citations files such as jpg or pdf docs to web site (5968)
- Fixed GRAMPS failed to insert jpeg image into proper place for an event" by displaying a thumbnail for citation media in the 'Source References' section (with a link to the media page) (5946)
- Tidy up media pages - remove unused parameters, use list of media items generated in first pass (2365, 5905 and 6009)
- Tidy up sources pages - fix numbering of repositories, remove unused parameters, fix title of individual source pages
- Reset NarrWeb navigation menu layout when style sheet doesn't support it
- Change Source Pages to use the list of sources generated by the first pass that finds objects to be output, and simplify references section on the Source page to use the references passed to it
- Fix option to suppress Gramps ID (6237)
- a number of technical changes to Narrative Web
- Removed a lot of redundant code and parameters (mainly connected with the old way of determining the objects to be included in the report).
- Movement of some large chunks of code within the source file and some initial work towards GEPS 022: Narrative Website Refactor. Functionality should be unchanged.
- Moved routines for calculating objects to be output so they can be part of default list building classes
- Various updated translations: da, de, es, fr, it, nb, nl, pt_BR, pt_PT, sv, uk

Legendary singer GARY FLOYD is back in the
saddle with his new rock band, BLACK KALI MA. This
San Francisco based outfit mixes punk, blues, and Southern-tinged
arena rock into one no-nonsense package. On their debut LP/CD,
You Ride The Pony (I'll Be The Bunny), BLACK KALI MA capture
the power of dual guitars, bass, drums, and Gary's freight-train
vocals, releasing a rabid masterpiece. The band hurls their songs
at you in a simple, raw fashion. With Gary belting out an evocative
commentary on the state of American society, backed by the
hard-driving music, there is no need for adornment. It's a
startling and refreshing release from a group of rock veterans that
actually have something to say.
GARY FLOYD first made his
presence felt in the seminal Texas punk band, the
DICKS. Formed in 1980, DICKS relocated to San
Francisco in 1983. The band broke up several years later,
and SISTER DOUBLE HAPPINESS arose from the ashes,
bridging rock and punk. Gary went on to form THE GARY FLOYD
BAND, which took a more classic blues direction. In 1998,
Gary teamed up with other established SF Bay Area musicians, many of
whom played with him in prior bands, to start BLACK KALI MA.
Drummer Bruce Ducheneaux (BOMB, WAYCROSS, THE GARY FLOYD BAND),
bassist Ed Ivey (RHYTHM PIGS), and guitarists Matt Margolin (SMOKIN'
RHYTHM PRAWNS), and Danny Roman (SISTER DOUBLE HAPPINESS, THE GARY
FLOYD BAND) round out the all-star line-up. They have created a new
flavor of rock, incorporating the rootsy sound that characterizes
all of Floyd's work.
BLACK KALI MA borrow their name from the
Hindu goddess Kali. This wrathful warrior queen often appears with
a winsome smile, wearing agarland of heads, and standing on the dead
body of her husband. To those who do not know her well, Kali is a
paradox. She can be simultaneously beautiful and seductive, while
terrifyingly brutal. Kali's power to both create through illusion
and destroy through love seems incomprehensible; yet to her
devotees, she is always faithful. The title and artwork for You
Ride The Pony (I'll Be The Bunny), when juxtaposed with the
music, offer an enigma similar to that embodied in Kali. The cover
of the album (by Gary Floyd), with its cartoonesque, childish
qualities, presents a sharp contrast to the rough, rock power
contained within. The duality serves as a reminder of the many
opposing forces contained within the human mind.
Word of
BLACK KALI MA is out. An international fan base,
familiar with the previous accomplishments of the individuals in the
band, has enthusiaticaly embraced their debut full-length on
Alternative Tentacles (Jan. 24th 2000), and eagerly awaits the
opportunity to catch them smoking the stage. Judging from audiences
thus far- BLACK KALI MA will indeed blow you away!

The Potential of Zero
Posted by Dan Smith on September 06, 2013
This is a short story about a little house in a parking lot and the educational potential of 960 square feet. The project was conceived and created to give students a place for blower door training and ended up a fully integrated green structure that was dedicated during the grand opening ceremony by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee.
The Clover Park Zero Energy House was an idea to help augment air leakage training in the Sustainable Building Science Program at Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood Washington. From there the educational model grew a bit. Why don't we add solar? We could add solar hot water. How about radiant hydronics, heat recovery ventilator, low VOC finishes, water catchment, energy monitoring, and while we are at it lets do a vegetable garden that will help feed the campus daycare? The possibilities grew rather quickly.
The final result is the first educational zero energy structure in Washington to have a totally transparent systems approach to green building and can be viewed on the web here. Every working system of the house can be examined and experienced. The purpose driven project has leveraged cutting edge technologies to display green building practices and incorporate systems integrated theory into an educational building that is available to campus and the community. It is being used by several groups including the Clover Park USGBC Student Group, the Clover Park Sustainability Committee, and will be the venue for an upcoming Green Community Lecture Series.
Everyone that enters the building is taken back by the open feeling, comfortable space, and the fact that it produces more energy than it uses. They all want a tour, from the conditioned crawl space to the attic HRV and the overheat protection on the solar thermal. People leave with a sense for the potential of zero. The potential of zero energy that is, and how we as individuals can make a difference when we take action collectively.
With this in mind I would like to challenge everyone reading this article to think in terms of conservation before generation and live with a lighter footprint. The task I put before you is not the shouting of a crazed evangelist, but the quiet voice of a person concerned and hopeful of the future. Whether you do something as simple as recycling or as complex as political activism for sustainability the idea is to start. It is the combined effort of everyone that will make a difference.
Break is over! Get started!

Blatz and Filth exploded out of the East Bay scene at 924 Gilman Street, home to Operation Ivy, Green Day, Crimpshrine, Rancid, Jawbreaker, and hundreds more. Blatz (featuring past and future members of The Gr'ups, The Criminals, The Frisk, Dead and Gone, Cypher In The Snow, and Subincision) took a raucous, slightly more melodic sound mashed with hair-raising female/male vocals, while Filth (formed out of the ashes of Isocracy & The Vagrants) featured razor-gargling vocals over super Punk guitars.
The LP comes with the original 2 sided cover & the booklet, while the double CD contains everything on the LP plus all records released by each band and a bonus Blatz live/practice/sound collage and Filth's 1990 cassette demo. Brand New!
"Best LPs of Bay Area Punk:7. Blatz/Filth - "Shit Split"
Fights still break out about which was the better side. Just the other day in fact, dairryiere and I ganged up on a non-Californian worker who was pro-Filth. I love the Blatz side. "Fuck Shit Up" was the anthem for property destruction and mob violence against the state during the first Gulf War protests in the Bay Area. "Lullabye": just awesome."- Gordonzola
"Blatz is well known as an integral representation of early 1990s East Bay punk. Touring only throughout southern California, Arizona and Nevada, they played mainly at 924 Gilman St., and practiced there as well. The band was known for their 'in your face' lyrics filled with sarcasm, irony, humor, and references to masturbation and drugs.Formed in the East Bay in 1989, from the ashes of Isocracy; Filth was a crustcore band that would help define the later "East Bay Hardcore" style. The band combined the more upbeat, sometimes poppy guitar styles of Isocracy's Lenny Rokk with harsh screamed vocals, courtesy of Crimpshrine roadie, Jake Sayles. The rhythm section was composed of a few East Bay punks known as Mike-o the Psycho, on bass, Jim on guitar, the more well-known Dave (E.C.) Henwood of the Vagrants."- NationMaster
"I first knew of Filth's existence from hearing AFI cover their song, "Today's Lesson." That song was one of the heaviest songs off of AFI's "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes." On that song Davey Havok rattled my ears with such gutteral screaming from a voice that gave out several songs ago. It was such a volatile, caustic intense punk song that it prompted me to search for Filth releases...
On all the tracks Jake, the singer, screams in this really coarse, bitter "punk" voice that comes out when you try to stifle your vocal chords and scream--like you've just lost your voice, choked on a bone and you're coughing up phlem. But it works. All the songs sound hard, screeching, primitive, discordant--everything you'd expect from crust-core; but nothing really ground breaking though. Filth cranks out "Today's Lesson," "Filth," and "Lust for Glory" with such sloppiness and urgency.
Their songs do ring out some happen-stance political, anarchic-nihilist themes, but in more obscure, less-preachy-than-Bad Religion tones. With song titles like "Buttshits," "Dear Fuck," and "You Are Shit," they kinda know what key-target demographic they are pandering to."- Punk News
"Re-issue of classic 924 Gilman release that originally was on Lookout. Blatz was a chaotic male/female edgy keg party punk, while Filth were razor-sharp spikey punk. Both bands defined a generation of funny-haired, loud-music-lovin' miscreants in the East Bay and beyond! The CD includes the LIA 7" from each band and as many lyrics as available. There's also each band's side of the Blatz/Tribe 8 split 7" and the Filth/Submachine split 7".
ISSUES TACKLED: Hate, Cafe Med, Punk.
OVERALL MOSHPIT: Arms, boots, puke, garbage, spit and more!"- Little Type
"I hardly ever leave my garage anymore. I've got a recliner, and mini-fridge and a quarter pipe out there, so there's nowhere else I need to be. I don't have a radio in the garage, just an old tape deck. I've only got about twenty tapes, and they are all older punk rock.For my twelve-pack, nothing beats that old Lookout Records release, The Shit Split. The second side of the tape is Blatz, a bunch of art-school punks who were into the shit before it turned to shit. Side one is dedicated to Filth, my favorite punk band of the nineties and maybe even all time. I can listen to side one of The Shit Split all day and night and never get bored with it. It's perfect for leaning back in the recliner and reading old issues of Penthouse or for sessioning my ramp into the wee hours of the morning."- Static Multimedia
"Alternative Tentacles has done an amazing job getting rights to repress essential out-of-print albums in recent years, and The S**t Split is surely no exception. The EP (originally released in 1991 on Lookout! Records) devoted a side to two Bay Area bands, Blatz and Filth, who were staples of the same scene that spawned more well-known acts like Green Day, Operation Ivy, Jawbreaker and Rancid.
Despite the fact that only a handful of acts ended up with national recognition, bands like Blatz and Filth were as well known on their scene at the time, and it's amazing to see their work compiled for the next generation of punks to get their hands on. The nice part about this split is that the two bands could not be more different. They were put on the release because they were contemporaries and friends from the same scene, but the two bands sound nothing alike, and are two great snapshots of dissimilar sounds from the Bay in the late '80s and early '90s.
Filth was a Crass-influenced crusty bunch through and through. They played thick, tight hardcore riffs and then buried them in vocals that sound like Jake, the vocalist is singing while simultaneously coughing up a mix of hot coffee and corn chips and taking the occasional punch to the throat. And when it works, it works - at times, it's pure crust-punk perfection, like on "Filth"- but occasionally it doesn't, and then it really borders on being unlistenable, like on "Scarred For Life." Which is probably exactly the way they wanted it to turn out. A true sweet spot on this album is their cover of the Peter and the Test Tube Babies classic "Banned From The Pubs" where the band really cuts loose and drops the gutturals. It's fun.
Blatz is the band that makes this record, and indeed are the kind of band that drew me to punk rock in the first place, the epitome of my idea of what true punk rock is. They play simple, sloppy three-chord punk, and trade off snotty vocals between two female and one male vocalist. It's noisy but has an (albeit chaotic) hook, and the lyrics run the gamut from straight up drunk punk fun with songs like "Fuk S**t Up" to true punk nihilism on darker tunes like "Lullaby". The Blatz disc is worth the price of this split EP (I'll even go so far to say that a single Blatz CD would be better than both in one package!) in and of itself, and it will make you realize why people got into punk rock and making punk music, and could even probably infuse with enough of that "I can do that" mentality to make you start your own band. It won't be as good as Blatz, though.
This CD is packed with a ton of bonus material. In addition to all of the material from the original pressing of The S**t Split, each is actually a complete discography of each band, and includes a live/practice/demo compilation on the Blatz disc and Filth's 1990 demo tape in it's entirety.
As a whole, this album is worth owning for it's historical value and for the fact that it's truly a great record. Even if you're the type that has a hard time wrapping your ears around Filth's dissonance, the Blatz record will make you appreciate simple punk rock again. And if you can get past Filth's sometimes grating vocals (or even enjoy them), then it's all gravy."- about.com
"Parents, teachers and fascist cops, President fucking Bush the first, they think they've got it all under control huh? The powers that be have everything lined up for a perfect future, 1000 points of light. Tipper Gore shielding my virgin ears from all the shit and erasing all the fuck. No naughty words in music! That would warp my teenage mind. Then comes Blatz. Chaotic, naked, raw and beautiful. They loved to hate the same things I hated, they liked to get wasted and they didn't give a shit who knew it. Melodic & maniacal male / female vocals, young, dumb and having fun. It's punk & I love it. I loved it so much that I took it seriously. And you'd better too by the time you get to the Filth side of the shit-split or your head will explode. Punk is not a fucking joke its for real and Jake Filth spitting flaming gasoline lyrics will make you understand that...The Blatz / Filth - Shit Split has the Live the Chaos 7″, Blatz - Cheaper Than the Beer 7″ and all the other records both bands ever put out. Do your punk rock homework. Get it now."- Retard Riot
"This is an oldie but a goody as far as I am concerned. From the musical end, both bands rock. I'm more into the Blatz side as it more melodic, but it seems most people are more into the Filth half. To each their own. If you are into drunken sing-songy crust punk or early 90's East Bay hardcore, one of these bands will appeal to you. The highlights on this disc are "Fuck Shit Up" (titled as "F.S.U.", which makes me wonder if a bunch of straight edge sissies that jump people are actually rallying behind a song about smack and speed) and the cover of the Fear classic "I Don't Care About," while the Filth side is dominated by their version of Peter and the Test Tube Babies' anthem "Banned from the Pubs"
The newer version is pretty much identical to the Lookout! CD reissue, featuring not only the "Shit Split" EP but both bands' entire output. It amazes me that while Blatz only released 13 songs and Filth a whopping 17, both of these bands are world- known. If I had a nickel for every Blatz or Filth patch I've seen over the last 13 years. I'd be a very rich man.
This CD was only out of print for 18 months, and as it is widely considered to be "Punk Rock 101," I would assume that anyone reading this is probably familiar with it. If you have been living under a rock (or possibly smoking one,) check this out. Anyone calling them self a punk rocker should have this CD as it is right up there with Group Sex, Jealous Again, Boogada Boogada Boogada and the first four Ramones records."- Jersey Beat
