First we say thanks and farewell to series like Gintama, Shugo Chara, Chu-Bra, So-Ra-No-Wo-To, Omamori Himari and Hanamaru Kindergarten that have come to a close after entertaining us for so long.
Fear not!
You can still watch your favorite episodes and marathon all of the awesomeness whenever you like! We're going to hang on to these guys as long as possible!
For Omamori Himari, "as long as possible" is already limited, since the videos tab has the statement:
All videos will be removed by Kadokawa thirty days after the release of the final episode.
I really wish CR would do a better job of making members aware of these type of limitations.
Yes, that's my real age
Blah. too Gintama is over for now...but I rather it would be in hiatus than for there to be too many fillers. The manga isn't over, so that's good at least.
underwhelmed at life
NO!! IT CANT BE TRUE!!! im so sad about shugo chara ending
only here to watch shows, so i wont be profile active to any gb posts. srry!
It was really silly of me but, I thought that once a series was done airing on CR that it would stay with CR in their library forever. I guess not huh? Oh well, thanks for the shows anyway CR and I look forward to the new shows that are coming!
No matter what happens in life keep moving forward.
I am a very impatient person but for Gintama I'm willing to risk everything! I just hope that Crunchyroll takes on Ookiku Furikabutte so that I can live through all this waiting .. cus if not Imma die DX
GINTAMA!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh......
I effin love Gintama mannnn...
Too bad Gintama is over D: But how come Fairy tail is only for anime members? And the episodes change... I dont really like that. Can someone explain? o.o Thanks
Nuking acc!

Well acoording to http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-03-29/gintama-director-shinji-takamatsu/it-not-over It is basically on hiatus until there is more source material. Just going in a different direction than Naruto did when it had so many fillers at the end. Hopefully this will prove to be the case and we will see Gin back in a season or two. And as to the new series announcements what ever happened to the calender style of announcing like was done here what was it three seasons back? I thought that was a great way to do it, it created excitement with people trying to guess what would be announced on what day according to the release dates of shows. For those that weren't CR users back then a calendar was posted and there was maybe two blank spots on Monday, 1 on Tuesday, 3 on Wed, etc... There was tons of speculation about what would be added each day and tons of threads were started guessing since the calendar was posted 2 or 3 weeks before the actual release week. (I dont remember exactly how far before but at least a week or 2.) I really wish they would bring this method of announcing new titles back; I looked forward each day after work to turn on my comp to see what was announced.
i completely agree, You should bring this up with a moderator or Shinji. start a partition page even. Numbers speak louder then words of one
wish money was a freedom, not a restriction, maybe one day it will switch.
Wow, are those two long running shows really ending, or just taking a break? I never expected Shugo Chara in particular to end any time soon, but I wouldn't know as I stopped following shortly after Party started. Well now there's a good sized batch to watch swiftly.
I look forward to hearing what we'll get. Also I appreciated the well advance warning for Naruto.
Hanamaru Kindergarten was a cute show, nice story, but I really don't give a crap about the rest, especially Naruto. They should just end the series already if it's going to be postponed so much.
oh no i actualy liked chu bra and im going to miss it
it was funny

Alfred Stieglitz typically photographed only the people who were most important to him. The birth of his daughter Katherine, known as Kitty, in 1898 stimulated the idea of creating a photographic journal of her life, and he revisited the idea of serial portraiture several times throughout his career. Stieglitz exhibited and published many pictures of his daughter, confirming that he considered them works of art. The photographer's second family was the group of artists—known as "The Stieglitz Circle"—and writers who congregated at his galleries, men who shared his passion for modernism and American art. Stieglitz was an early and long-term advocate of artists John Marin (1870–1953) and Marsden Hartley (1877–1946), exhibited paintings by Philadelphia painter and teacher Arthur Carles (1882–1952), and added painter Arthur Dove to his group. Another artist associated with his galleries was Georgia O'Keeffe. While his initial portraits of her echo the frontal, bust-length format he used with other artists, their romantic involvement quickly led to a more varied and extensive series of images, also on view in this gallery. Authors and critics, such as Sherwood Anderson (1876–1941), were also part of his circle, their writing on American themes paralleling the artists' depictions of indigenous subject matter.
Stieglitz devised a consistent format for his portraits of artists, showing the sitters crisply and solidly filling the picture while looking toward the camera. He often posed his subjects in front of paintings at his gallery, carefully selecting these backgrounds for their special significance. The solid, monumental presentation of these artists reflects Stieglitz's profound conviction in their visionary work. In addition to conveying his esteem, the portraits were meant to shape public perceptions of these artists in exhibitions and publications. Other portraits, while still tightly composed, have a more active feel to them, such as the images of Emil Zoler, a Stieglitz gallery assistant, and Richard Menshausen, the caretaker of the Stieglitz family's property at Lake George, New York.
Georgia O'Keeffe
Two views from early in the portrait series show O'Keeffe in front of her charcoal drawing No. 15 Special of 1916–17. Enamored of her expressive hands and eager for her touch, he poses her toying with a button and then isolates her fingers against a dark background to focus on their shape. In 1924, Stieglitz divorced his wife and married O'Keeffe. Their complex liaison shifted dramatically in 1929, when O'Keeffe began spending summers in New Mexico while Stieglitz remained, by choice, in New York. The trip was as much a tonic for her as she had been for Stieglitz, but it also represented a geographical and emotional gulf between them. His first portraits on her return from New Mexico show O'Keeffe with a new symbol of independence, the Model T Ford, and later with the animal bones she had brought back from the desert. Still later images from the series were made after Stieglitz became emotionally engaged with a young woman named Dorothy Norman, whom he began photographing extensively. There is more distance in these images of his wife, and in one she appears as a headless nude.
Dorothy Norman
Dorothy Norman (1905–1997) was an adventurous young woman from Philadelphia who moved to New York as a newlywed in 1925. Her twin passions of social activism and the fine arts eventually brought her to Stieglitz's second exhibition space, The Intimate Gallery. Stieglitz began photographing Norman in 1930, when she was twenty-five years old and pregnant with her second child. His early portraits of her are stark, restrained, and elegant, emphasizing her youthful face and smoldering dark eyes. Slightly later images have a somewhat looser quality and show Norman with a more frank gaze, but the portraits remain largely formal despite Stieglitz's use of the versatile handheld Graflex camera. Stieglitz's familiarity with modern art is apparent in some of the portraits in which the white oval of Norman's face seems to float, echoing artist Constantin Brancusi's (1876–1957) sculpted heads and the photographs of visually disembodied heads by the artist Man Ray (1890–1976), the photographer Lee Miller (1907–1977), and others in the late 1920s. His preoccupation with photographing hands, seen in the O'Keeffe series, is continued here.
When The Intimate Gallery was forced to close in 1929, Dorothy Norman became a driving force in making arrangements for a new exhibition space, An American Place. She quickly became indispensable to Stieglitz as a confidant, and, for a time, as a lover. Norman was also increasingly engaged with photography and by 1931 was actively making pictures, developing and printing her work in the gallery's darkroom with Stieglitz. The Museum is the major repository for many of these photographs. Profoundly affected by his death in 1946, Norman worked to preserve his legacy, writing a book about him in 1960 and founding the Alfred Stieglitz Center at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1968. Many of the photographs in this exhibition come from her impressive collection of Stieglitz images. Though Norman sometimes purchased works of art from her mentor, he gave her numerous photographs, many with inscriptions and private communications, as seen in the case in this gallery.
Many works by the Stieglitz Circle, including Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove, and Georgia O'Keeffe, are on view in gallery 172 in the Museum's main building.

UPTON - The Upton Men's Club has nearly completed efforts to revamp the signs at the town's schools and town hall.
The project, which would put stone walls and plants around the signs, started three to four weeks ago, according to club President James Hentz. The goal is to make the signs more aesthetically similar to the five "Welcome to Upton" signs the club built 11 years ago.
"We've done the signs at the Nipmuc High School and Memorial School," he said, noting that mulch and plants would be placed around the signs. "We're still waiting to start on the one at the town hall."
Hentz said, as the town hall is currently in the midst of renovations, the club may have to wait until the building's re-opening next month to begin work on the sign. The town hall is scheduled for a rededication ceremony on Sept. 23.
Hentz added that the project did not have a scheduled completion date because it is dependent on volunteer labor, but added that work is wrapping up at about the expected time.
This project, Hentz said, is similar to other Men's Club efforts at beautifying the town.
"We do a lot with plants in the springtime," he said. "We do stuff, for example, by the Dunkin' Donuts - putting mulch down, things like that."
The Board of Selectmen, at an early July meeting, voted to support the work with $5,000 from the town's Risteen Beautification Fund. The money was intended for materials, as club members estimated each sign would take four pallets of stone, and flowers would have to be purchased.
Henz said Thursday the project, so far, has stayed within the budget.

When the grass is always more veridian
Realistically, the way I spend money means that it's unlikely to happen any time soon. I'm a fritterer, I don't buy big things but I have more books in my house than I have room for, they are stacked in corners and crushed into cupboards. And because I am in a relatively well paid job and because I like it and the people I just haven't ever gotten to breaking point with working full time.
Generally speaking my thinking is always split into two on anything anyway, so I never really make any big decisions...I'm not a planner by nature, I just drift along, occassionally ranting about how i'd like to be going down the other trouser leg of time.
Every now and then though I get into a really shitty mood. I fume to myself about all kinds of things - one after the other, sometimes all mixed together.
I fume about the world at large. The odds are stacked against artists I rant. Our social and economic institutions are set up to keep us in traditional work patterns for almost our entire lives. Art institutions and grant systems have little interest in work outside of the conceptual mainstream!
Then I move onto my work, it's too nice or not nice enough, it has nothing to say about the world in which we live, it's too derivitive.
Then I move onto myself, I don't take art seriously enough, i'm a terrible planner, I don't organise myself properly, i'm not taking responsibility for my life.
My emotionally mature response to all these feelings is to try to ignore them as much as possible by going out a lot, or getting involved in a really good series of books until it goes away and stops annoying me. I never ever confront them, I never sit down and try to unravel all the tiny whingeing threads. I certainly never get out an excel spread sheet and try to figure out how I might afford to live off art.
I know that making a living from art has all it's own problems. I know that you have to seek out commissions more often, fulfill wholesale orders if you can, attend art fairs and even (gulp) answer emails in a timely fashion, you end up not really doing art for a lot of it.
But the other side is that starting on a Saturday I rush into my bedroom studio and start cutting up pieces of wood as fast as I can, gessoing, preparing, planning, drawing. I also have orders to fill out for prints and packaging and visits to the post office before mid-day. By sunday I may have gotten somewhere with a piece and then on monday I have to put it aside and wait, wait, wait until the next weekend. It's a fevered high pitched way of working which then spirals into this yearly fug of exhaustion and self recrimination.
Which is why, for the first time, i'm trying to consider what it would take to change my life. I don't think at this time I can afford to do it, perhaps not for a long time, but i'm interested in exploring the avenues and seeing in real terms how much i'd have to make and how I might do that. Even if I come out of it with a feeling of acceptance it'll be something - at least I can refer to my spreadsheets when I get into my fug.

Oh, I'm glad you're thinking about that! It really is liberating being able to work on stuff you love every day. If you want any tips on living on zero money, I have lots now :)

Very interesting!
I think that art, like writing, is a hard business to live off but I strongly believe that your work is so fabulous that it is definitely something you could do.
Since I discovered your work, I've mailed you a couple of times about submitting to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition; making gorgeous art is one thing but becoming a known name significantly affects what you can charge (and means that you can concentrate on creating new things, not mass production).
While reading your post, it made me think of how the documenting of my intentions and progress online has helped me lose weight this year; after years of failed attempts trying, I've so far lost over 60 lbs just by keeping an online food diary.
I wonder if you can use the same mechanism by posting more as you have just done so that you put your ideas out there and find it harder to retreat!
You will undoubtedly get support from friends and fans who, I'm sure, will cheer you on but who will also give you a firm but friendly prod if you look like you might give up.
Other than that, I don't have any practical advice except to contact people like Audrey Kawasaki for advice. Oh, any get a copy of Artists & Galleries by the Fine Art Trade Guild.

Wish I had some magic words for you. I'm just a lowly groupie who thinks your work is wonderful! So sending lots of good thoughts your way.
You've successfully voiced the inner workings of many many artists here. It can be a challenging juggling work, art, family & and all the ideas rattling around, waiting to be born.
Keep on keeping on...Your pieces are unique & fabulous! The new title banner looks great too

Hooray for you for opening up the thought process, at least! I am also one who is torn about being a weekend creator. Part of me is envious of those artists I see who are free to spend all their time being creative, and part of me thinks I might drive myself mad, and stop enjoying the creating, if I had to try to make a living from it. But your work is amazing, and I'm sure whatever path you choose, you'll be successful...
Good luck!

I hope you can do what you love full time soon!I love your otherworldly style. I've gone through many similar thoughts, but I've decided I'm terrible at the business side of things and I don't like working to other peoples direction. I might find my niche someday.

- Rima said...
Very interesting and encouraging to hear your thoughts on this matter Lindsey :)
You know you come across so much more organised and "proper" than you describe. I am chuffed to learn there are others like me who do not plan AT ALL.. and drift.. yes DRIFT!
I have always drifted, it gets on everyone's nerves. I do my work in my own time and it gets done eventually! I have always been stubborn about doing jobs that I like, so even when I was working I wasn't hating it. I did find it impossible tho to be as disciplined on a weekend as you are.. I would just be exhausted!
I am very happy to be making a living from my art now .. but it is only a bare living.. I mean, by the end of the week we are literally gathering 20p pieces to buy some milk, and then if the rain comes on the saturday, which as you know it usually does here, we're scuppered for selling pictures in town.. and I have to pay by cheque for the coal and hope I might have sold a print or two by the time they cash it!!
Savings?! Ha!
We hope that on wheels we'll need less and so be a little less skint.. no letterboxes for bills to come thru you see!
Anyway, stop babbling Rima..
Hope you come out of your fug happily.. You make brilliant work :)

Thank you for sharing! I think more artists than not go through exactly what you are going through.
I started my blog and etsy store just to hold myself a little more accountable to being more organized, pro-active and productive. Although not perfect, it has definitely helped me. Right now I have a part time job but did try "to make a go" of it several years back in the local gallery scene. I was showing quite a bit but not selling. I have since realized that the organization and discipline is even more important if you don't have a "just for money" job. Without the structure the days just seem to "drift" away that much more easily.
Best wishes to you in finding what will work for you! Keep it up... I just love your work!

- Showpony said...
perhaps you could try a half-way-house sort of solution and find out if you could do your job part time?
This might help you decide, or it'll piss of your boss so much you'll be left with no other option but to do your art full time - which by the way I think you should, defo!
- 28 October 2008 at 12:12
- LADY LAVONA said...
You can do it! I am always amazed and inspired by how productive you are since you have a full time job!
SELF MASTERY is the key too SUCCESS! I need to organize my life, eat better, change my erratic sleeping habits, ect... I can't seem to get anything done and make far too many excuses for myself! Self-discipline is really challenging! When you don't have a boss to answer to it's easy to get sidetracked!
I think keeping a journal is important. And posting little notes around the house with postive affirmations is always motivating!
You can do it!!! This was a very inspiring post! You know once you start talking about something the ball is rolling. It will be empowering to archive your lifestyle changes here on your blog. You can track your growth and progress!

I've read this post a few times now, and I feel like I have things I want to say in response but I want to mull it over for a few days to articulate myself properly. In any event, being more or less in the same boat, this post made me think a lot.

There is a time and place for everything, as the saying goes. The problem, of course, is complacency, interwoven with wild bouts of mania.
I would like to write something extremely wise, like "Who we are dictates what we are, and what we are precludes what we will become," but I if I did, it would sound not only pompous but would be extremely self-evident after reading it.
So in the end, I'll just write "Keep creating. You do some wonderful things!"

Marceline - do you have thoughts on how to make it with negative money? x
Paola, I have to thank you for your persistence with me even when i'm wilfully shooting myself in my own foot :) I agree with you that putting these thoughts out into the real world is making strange subtle differences in my life. 60lb's! Are you kidding? That's great! I am indeed going to get the book you've suggested
artsnark, thanks for the encouragement, it's good to know a body is not alone with these thoughts!
chocklit, I just got lost on your blog for about 3 hours! How cool do you guys look!? I liek the music too! You're right too, there's a possible pin in the concept of having all the time in the world to create...You just never know whether you might regret what you wish for.
atbymar, thanks!
Anna, This is the about art becoming a business...You know I actually read the bussiness section of the paper the other day for the first time ever....i'm not sure if that's good? :)
Rima, I know! Honestly I do, it's not easy peasy at all. But I have to tell you that chatting to you and seeing the way you work and the way you've worked your life around it has really inspired me to think about an alternative to the way I live and work. Heh so you're partly to blame for all this :)
Marcyanna, you're right... having a lot of free time doesn't neccesarily increase productivity or organisational skills....Working part-time is something i'd prefer to be honest. I do need some kind of regularity I think
Emma, well, I have thought about this but 2 things really - realistically I haven't been with them that long, so I don't want to cause problems for them so early on unil i'm sure of what i'm doing, and secondly I don't know many people or any in fact who work part-time at it (graphic design)....After a bit of time though I might see because that would atcually be the perfect solution at this point.
Lavona, thanks so much! I am going to try to keep this idea alive, in a funny way as I said earlier just posting about it has started some transformation. We'll see!
Pen 'n Paper....Well, i'd love to hear what you're thinking - I didn't realise you were having similar thoughts actually - if you think of anything genius, you'll let me know right? :)
Giadrosich, thanks! Wow, it's been an age - Hehe, well the quote is very good - and not pompous at all.

This is a topic I struggle with as well. I make a very decent living doing a job I don't really love but I love what it affords me, however I dream of creating full time and actually being comfortable doing it...which I know is not something I can just jump off the bridge without a lot of planning and organizing.
One thing that has helped me formulate my game plan (or helping me) is that I've joined forces with several local artist and we are moving through Alyson Stanfield's Artbiz Salon series-basically it's a 9 wk session where you learn to define yourself, your art, your marketing plan, pricing--and other various strategies necessary to balance the creative side of art and the business side. She also has a good book called, "I'd Rather Be in the Studio" which addresses these same areas more in depth.
Definitely check it out--it may help you in your focus!

The last comment reminded me of how textile designer, Lara Cameron, has recently made the transition of web site designer with part-time Etsy shop to a part-owner of a textile-printing studio with other artists.
I've been following her personal blog and, since July, also her Ink & Spindle blog which has been describing the creation of the studio.
Here's the first announcement.
I met her in London last year when she was over from Australia. Let me know if you'd like an introduction because she might be able to give you some pointers on striking out as a full-time artist.

i have now reread this for about the fortieth time. I was wondering if you had come to any grand conclusion? Having the workday revolve around one's art sounds so pleasurable to me.
btw, I'm not sure if you ever got my email, but I have something for you that I thought you might like. It is a little thank you for the GORGEOUS headband & prints that I won in your giveaway. I couldn't read your return address on the package you sent them in, so could you please email it to me?

Fiddler Aly Bain and accordionist Phil Cunningham are two of the most celebrated musicians on the Scottish traditional scene. By the time they began working together in 1988, they were already renowned for their previous accomplishments. Bain was a founding member of the Boys of the Lough, a group whose repertoire includes both Scottish and Irish influences. Cunningham became a member of the infamous Silly Wizard at the age of sixteen, launching a prolific and diverse musical career. The duo first worked together on a television series in 1988, and embarked on their first tour shortly after. They were so well-received that they have been touring together ever since. Their two previous duo recordings, The Pearl (1996) and The Ruby (1998), have been met with high acclaim.
Phil Cunningham was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1960. His musical career began with accordion lessons at the age of three and violin a few years later. His initial training was in classical music but his deep love of traditional Scottish music developed simultaneously. In 1976, he joined his brother Johnny in the highly acclaimed Scottish band Silly Wizard and was a full-time member until 1983. Cunningham contributed many of his own compositions to their mostly traditional repertoire, adding to the musical heritage of Scotland and keeping the tradition alive.
Cunningham left Silly Wizard in 1983 to pursue a solo career, as he found himself in demand as a composer and performer for television, radio, film and stage. Between 1985 and 1987 he toured and recorded with supergroup Relativity, with his brother Johnny, and Irish brother and sister, Michael and Triona O'Domnaill. During this time he also produced two solo albums, Airs and Graces (Green Linnet, 1984), and Palomino Waltz (1989).
Cunningham has produced albums for many popular traditional artists, including Dolores Keane and Altan. In 1990, he wrote the music for Bill Bryden's spectacular theater productions The Ship (1990) and The Big Picnic (1994). In recent years, he has worked as music director and composer for various BBC Scotland series, and also wrote The Highlands & Islands Suite, an orchestral work which was performed at The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. He has recently toured with Bonnie Raitt and Kepa Junkera, in addition to running CAP recording studios.
Bain hails from Lerwick, a small, enchanting town in the Shetland Islands. He began learning fiddle at the age of eleven. Tom Anderson, his teacher, is acknowledged as one of the true masters of Shetland music. Bain developed a highly dramatic style of playing, matching his great tone and technical ability with genuine emotion. Alert to the musical potential of the dynamic interaction between Irish and Scottish traditions, he helped establish the Boys of the Lough. The group is now recognized as one of the best in the tradition.
Simultaneously, Bain pursued his solo career. Since 1986, he has been working with Pelicula Films on various television series dealing with folk music. The first series, Down Home, traces fiddle music from its roots in Scotland across the Atlantic to the United States and Canada. The second, entitled The Transatlantic Sessions (1995), featured many prominent artists such as Emmylou Harris, Iris DeMent, Kathy Mattea, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Mary Black, Karen Matheson, Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh, Donal Lunny, Dick Gaughan, and of course, Phil Cunningham.
Bain has released two critically acclaimed solo albums, First Album (1984), and Lonely Bird (1996). He has also recorded numerous albums with the Boys of the Lough, as well as with Hue and Cry, Eddi Reader, Fish, Richard Thompson and Runrig. In 1993, his autobiography Fiddler on the Loose, co-written by journalist and editor Alastair Clark, was published. Bain continues to tour extensively with the Boys of the Lough in addition to his collaborations with Cunningham.

Dear Annie: I am married to a wonderful guy who has a daughter by his ex-girlfriend. I have not yet met my stepdaughter. Her mother has full custody and won't allow my husband access.
I am older than my husband by three years. I want to have a child. Before we married, my husband and I talked about having kids. We talked about it again last December, and we agreed that it was time to start a family.
Here's the problem: He has now decided he's not ready. I work in the maternity ward of a local hospital, and I see the complications older women can have with pregnancy and with delivery. I am getting close to that age. I want to have a healthy pregnancy and child, but the longer we wait the harder it will be. My feeling is that one is never really "ready" for kids, but you make the necessary sacrifices to have something so amazing in your life.
I have asked my husband why the sudden change in attitude, and his only response is, "I don't know." I'm getting tired of that, but when I say so, he replies, "I feel ya." Totally not helpful. I don't want to force him to have a baby, but I want a family and am getting tired of his excuses. I love my husband, but this is driving me crazy. How can I find out what is really bothering him and get him on the same page again? - Monica
Dear Monica: Whether or not to have children is one of those non-negotiable issues that can break up a marriage. Your husband is being evasive and seems uninterested in the idea of children. We wonder why he hasn't fought harder to be a part of his daughter's life. If having a child is crucial to you, your husband needs to know that you are willing to leave the marriage in order to find a more cooperative partner. Frankly, we aren't sure he will make any effort to stop you.
Dear Annie: I have worked in the restaurant industry all of my life. Our place is near a clinic. It's one thing to leave gum under the tables, but I am amazed at the number of people who leave their used bandages, cotton and surgical tape. They just put it on their plate and expect us to dispose of it. Yuck. I understand that these people are coming to eat after having procedures done, and I am grateful for their business. But would it be too much to ask that they dispose of these medical bandages in the bathroom garbage? It's pretty disgusting to have these things on the table. - A Waitress, Not a Nurse
Dear Waitress: We agree. Since you get a lot of clinic customers, you can ask management about posting a sign asking people to dispose of post-procedure bandages in a specially designated "hazardous waste" container in the bathroom. But some people will leave them on the table regardless. It might be wise to talk to management about having a box of disposable gloves that can be worn when clearing the tables.
Dear Annie: This is for "Concerned," who objected to having his late wife's photo displayed at his granddaughter's wedding.
When my daughter married, she had a table in the lounge area with photos of both sets of parents, even though one set was divorced. No one objected, including the new significant others. She also included photographs of all four sets of grandparents, even though three were deceased.
The bride could put a picture of her grandfather and grandmother together, and also one of the grandfather with his new wife. Seems a no-brainer to me, and it's silly of the grandfather to be so petty about it. Weddings are headaches enough. - Grateful We Get Along in My World

A Tale of Two Adars
As the month of Adar is the only one in the Jewish calendar that gets twinned (7 years out of every 19)[1], every time such a leap year occurs, aside for the 'Mishenichnas Adar' celebrations, there is also cause for concern and calculations. Although the Gemara[2] concludes that all Purim-related observances (including the Arba Parshiyos) are celebrated in Adar Sheini, in order that the Geulah (Redemption) from Haman (Purim) and the Geulah from Egypt (Pesach) should be observed in consecutive months, nevertheless, figuring out in which Adar other life cycle events such as Bar Mitzvahs and Yahrtzeits should be observed, is quite complicated.
Who Is Truly Older?
It is widely known that adding a leap year into the mix always has interesting Bar Mitzvah ramifications. The majority consensus is that if a boy was born in a non-leap year, one in which there was only one Adar, and on the year of his Bar Mitzvah there are two Adars, his Bar Mitzvah will occur in the second Adar, since it is considered the true one concerning when one becomes a man[3]. The same holds true if the lad was actually born in Adar Sheini. In fact the only way one would celebrate a Bar Mitzvah in the first Adar is if he was actually born in an Adar Rishon. This is the accepted ruling by all authorities, both Ashkenazic and Sefardic.
This makes for a remarkable dichotomy. If one boy is born on the 21st of Adar Rishon, and his buddy a week and a half later on the 2nd of Adar Sheini, then in any standard year following, the second one would be celebrating his birthday almost 3 weeks before his "older" friend. Since there is only one Adar, the second-born's birthday would be the 2nd of Adar while his "older" friend's would be on the 21st. In fact, only in a leap year would the older one truly be considered older. This would also affect their Bar Mitzvahs. If their Bar Mitzvah is in a standard year, the younger lad would become a man several weeks before his older compadre[4].
Yearly Yahrtzeit
However, and quite interestingly, Yahrtzeit observance seems to be an entirely different story. The Shulchan Aruch rules that if one's parent passed away in a standard Adar his Yahrtzeit should be observed in Adar Sheini (similar to the accepted psak for a Bar Mitzvah). Yet, the Rema, citing the Terumas HaDeshen and Mahar"i Mintz[5], argues that Yahrtzeits do not share the same status as Bar Mitzvahs, and conversely they should be observed in Adar Rishon.
Will the Real Adar Please Stand Up?
The Terumas HaDeshen[6] posits that this machlokes is actually based on another one: between R' Meir and R' Yehuda concerning which Adar is considered the main one[7] (regarding the laws of Nedarim and Shtaros - Vows and Documents). The Rambam follows R' Meir's opinion, that Adar Sheini is the main one, while most other Rishonim, including the Rosh, Ritva and Ran[8], follow R' Yehuda (as is the general rule in Shas), and consider Adar Rishon to be the main one. Apparently, regarding Yahrtzeits the Shulchan Aruch sides with the Rambam while the Rema follows the opinions of the other Rishonim.
Another understanding of this machlokes is that it is based on conflicting Talmudic dictums. Since it is a mitzvah to properly observe a parent's Yahrtzeit[9], wouldn't we say 'Ain Maavirin al HaMitzvos'[10], not to let a mitzvah pass us by? If so, we certainly should attempt to do so as soon as possible, i.e. Adar Rishon and not wait until Adar Sheini.
Yet, others claim 'Akdumei Paranusa Lo Mekadmin'[11] might be more important here, as we find with Tisha B'Av and other fast days where, when a scheduling conflict arises, we delay the fast. Similarly, since the accepted practice is to fast on a Yahrtzeit, its observance should be delayed to Adar Sheini.
The Levush[12] elucidates the Rema's ruling, stressing a critical difference between the two. Properly observing a Yahrtzeit achieves repentance (Kapparah) for the soul of the deceased. The Judgement of Gehinnom is twelve months; therefore immediately after the conclusion of this period, which, in a leap year would occur in the first Adar, we should observe the Yahrzeit to obtain elevation for the Neshama. Why should we prolong his Kapparah? And once the Yahrzeit is already observed in Adar Rishon, the first year after the passing, it is already set as the one to observe every time there is a leap year.
Yet, others, including the Chasam Sofer[13], disagree, maintaining that although we find that regarding the laws of Nedarim and Shtaros, even the Shulchan Aruch concedes that Adar Rishon is considered the main Adar[14], even so, Yahrtzeits should be observed in Adar Sheini. He explains that the rule in Nedarim and Shtaros is that they follow 'lashon Bnei Adam', the common vernacular. Since people are used to saying Adar, even in a leap year the first Adar is simply colloquially called Adar. Yet, concerning Yahrtzeits, which concerns Neshamos, its observance would follow the 'lashon HaTorah', which clearly establishes Adar Sheini as the main Adar, as all Purim-related observances are celebrated in Adar Sheini! Therefore, he concludes that Yahrtzeits should be observed in Adar Sheini.
Double Yahrtzeit ?
Generally speaking, the practical halacha here follows the traditional paths after the main halacha codifiers. Sefardim, who follow the psakim of the Shulchan Aruch, observe an Adar Yahrtzeit in Adar Sheini, while Ashkenazim would do so in Adar Rishon[15]. Yet, there are several Ashkezaic poskim who rule like the Shulchan Aruch here, maintaining that a Yahrtzeit should be observed in Adar Sheini[16].
But, to make matters even more confusing, the Rema adds that there are those who maintain that Yahrzteits should be observed in both Adars (!!). Although in Hilchos Aveilus, the Rema seems to have dropped this opinion as a viable option, nevertheless, it is a psak that several later authorities, including the Shach, Magen Avraham and the Vilna Gaon, aver is required. In fact, and although the Aruch Hashulchan discounts this opinion, as this is not a matter of prohibition and therefore a chumra is non-applicable, still, the Mishna Berura writes that if possible one should try to observe the Yahrtzeit on both days[17].
So, what is one to do? He should ask his Rav and follow his shul's local minhag. Recently, while in Americafor a simcha, this author noticed a highly commendable and helpful sign hanging in the famed White Shul in Far Rockaway, signed by the Rav, Rabbi Eitan Feiner, with clear and concise instructions to enable easy Yahrtzeit observance during the months of Adar. It proclaimed that the shul follows Ashkenazic practice. Therefore, Yahrtzeit observance for one who was niftar in a regular Adar should be in Adar Rishon. If the mourner is Sefardi, he should observe the Yahrtzeit in Adar Sheini. If one's minhag is to observe both Adars, he may do so, as long as it does not interfere with someone else's actual Yahrtzeit (i.e. davening for the amud).
Yes, Mishenichnas Adar Marbin B'Simcha[18], but sometimes that simcha is reserved for resolving halachic doubt[19].
Postscript: Another interesting related issue is that even though the universal psak is that a Bar Mitzvah is of a boy born in a standard Adar is celebrated in Adar Sheini, nonetheless, there are poskim who maintain that the Bar Mitzvah boy should start to lay Tefillin from Adar Rishon, even if his minhag is not to do so until the Bar Mitzvah itself. In fact, the Tzitz Eliezer opines that it is for a leap year like this that the minhag developed to lay Tefillin a month before their Bar Mitzvah[20]. Just another tidbit to add more calculations and complications to a year with double Adars.
[1]See Gemara Rosh Hashana 7a and Gemara Sanhedrin 12b. There are several sevaros explaining why only Adar gets doubled. See Rashi (Rosh Hashana ad loc. s.v. v'afap"ch), Tosafos (Sanhedrin ad loc. s.v. ein), Kedushas Levi (Parshas Ki Sisa s.v. ta'am) and Sfas Emes (Likutim L'Chodesh Adar).

[3]Rema (O.C. 55, 10; based on Shu"t Mahar"i Mintz 15), Levush (O.C. 685, 1), Magen Avraham (O.C. 55, 10), Pri Chadash (ad loc. 10), Pri Megadim (ad loc. E.A. 10; he adds that m'pahtus this is also the Shulchan Aruch's shitta), Levushei Srad (ad loc. s.v. eino), Korban Ha'Eida (Megillah Ch. 1, Shiyarei HaKorban s.v. hada), Shaarei Teshuva (O.C. 55, 11), Gilyon Maharsha (Y"D 402, s.v. b'Adar), Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (15, 2), Aruch Hashulchan (O.C. 55, 14), Mishna Berura (ad loc. 45), and Kaf Hachaim (ad loc. 59); not like the Mahara"Sh HaLevi (Shu"t O.C. 16) who was of the opinion that all observances should be celebrated in Adar Rishon.
[4]Although the Magen Avraham (ibid., based on his understanding of the Mahar"i Mintz's position) maintains that even a boy born in an Adar Rishon's Bar Mitzva gets deferred to Adar Sheini, and the Olas HaTamid agrees with him. Nevertheless, the consensus of poskim is that the Bar Mitzva of one who is born in an Adar Rishon is observed in Adar Rishon as well; if he was born in a standard Adar or Adar Sheini his Bar Mitzvah would be observed in Adar Sheini. These poskim include the Shulchan Aruch (ibid.), Levush (O.C. 685, 1), Pri Chadash (ad loc. 10; citing the Yerushami Megillah Ch. 1, 5, that Adar Rishon is merely a 'tosefes'), Shvus Yaakov (Shu"t vol. 1, 9; who writes that the Magen Avraham misunderstood the Mahar"i Mintz), Elya Rabba (O.C. 55, 9 & Elya Zuta 5), Rav Dovid Oppenheim (cited in the Ba'er Heitiv ad loc. 11), Me'il Tzadaka (Shu"t 21), Shaarei Teshuva (O.C. 55, 11), Ma'amar Mordechai (ad loc. 13), Pri Megadim (ad loc.

The Ba'er Heitiv (ibid.) concludes that "v'chein haminhag pashut eitzel kol ba'alei hahora'ah"! On an anecdotal level, this halacha affected this author growing up, as my birthday was Rosh Chodesh Adar and my Bar Mitzvah occurred on a leap year. B'Ezras Hashem, it will affect my son who was born on my birthday as well, as his upcoming Bar Mitzvah is scheduled for the next leap year - in Adar Sheini 5776!
[5]Shulchan Aruch and Rema (O.C. 568, 7), Terumas HaDeshen (vol. 1, 294), Mahar"i Mintz (Shu"t 9). Interestingly, in his Beis Yosef commentary (end O.C. 568),the Shulchan Aruch writes that that this opinion of such a Yahrtzeit being observed in Adar Sheini, is the ruling of the Mahar"i Weil (Shu"t Dinin V'Halachos 5; who was arguing on the Mahar"i Mulin).
[6]Terumas HaDeshen (vol. 1, 294). His assessment of the dispute is widely acknowledged as the proper one and is cited by many later authorities as a given.
[7]Nedarim 63a. Application of this dispute is if one writes a document listing only the month as Adar, which Adar was he referring to? The same applies to vows as well. If one made a Neder not to eat meat until Adar, until when is meat prohibited to him?
[8]Rambam (Hilchos Nedarim Ch. 10, 6; especially according to the Kesef Mishna's understanding), Rosh, Ritva, and Ran in their commentaries to Nedarim 63a. Interestingly, Tosafos (Nedarim 63b s.v. v'hatanya) implies like the Rambam as well.
[9]See Shulchan Aruch (Y"D 402, 12).
[10]See Gemara Pesachim 64b, Yoma 33a, 58b, and 70a, Megillah 6b, and Menachos 64b.
[11]See Gemara Megillah 5b, regarding pushing off Tisha B'Av. The Ramban (Milchemos Hashem to end of the first Chapter of Megillah) adds that this applies as well to Taanis Esther. Although the Maharil (Shu"t 1120 writes that this is inapplicable to a Yahrtzeit as it is only 'Tzaara B'Alma', nevertheless the Chasam Sofer reiterates this sevara several times. See Shu"t Chasam Sofer (O.C. 163 s.v. v'hinei), Haghos Chasam Sofer (to Shulchan Aruch O.C. 568, 7), and Chiddushei Chasam Sofer (to Gemara Megillah 5a). Thanks are due to Rav Yitzchok Breitowitz for pointing out this debate regarding Klalei HaShas to this author.
[12]See Levush (O.C. 685, 1), Shu"t Beis Shlomo (E.H. 56, Hagha"h M'Ben HaMechaber 1), and Shu"t Har Tzvi (O.C. vol. 2, 83, 1; quoting the Mahar"i Mintz).
[13]See Shu"t Chasam Sofer (O.C. 163) and Haghos Chasam Sofer (to O.C. 568, 7). The Vilna Gaon (Biur HaGr"a to O.C. 568, 7 s.v. k'she'ira) cites this as well.
[14]Regarding Nedarim see Shulchan Aruch (Y"D 220, 8); regarding Documents see Shulchan Aruch (C.M. 43, 28); regarding Gittin see Shulchan Aruch (E.H. 126, 7). In all of these cases he agrees that the halacha follows R' Yehuda that one who writes/says 'Adar' is referring to Adar Rishon. These cases all follow 'Lashon Bnei Adam', the common vernacular. Interestingly, he does not follow the Rambam in these cases [see how the Chelkas Mechokek and Bais Shmuel (to E.H. 126, 7) deal with this difficulty].
[15]Most Sefardic poskim follow the Shulchan Aruch and observe this Yahrtzeit in Adar Sheini, include the Knesses HaGedolah (O.C. 568, Haghos on Beis Yosef), Chida (Machazik Bracha ad loc. 8), Yafeh LaLev (vol. 2, ad loc. 4) and Rav Daniel Tirani (Ikrei HaDat 29, 4). See Kaf Hachaim (O.C. 568, 76), Chazon Ovadia (Purim ppg. 32 - 34), and Rav Mordechai Eliyahu's Darchei Halacha glosses to the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (221, 3) whom all state this.
[16]Although the Yaavetz implies in his responsa (Shu"t Sheilas Yaavetz vol. 1, 117) like the Rema, in his later Siddur (Siddur Yaavetz pg. 375a) he concludes like his father, the Chacham Tzvi, that such a Yahrtzeit should be observed in Adar Sheini. As mentioned previously, the Chasam Sofer (Shu"t O.C. 163 and Haghos to O.C. 568, 7) and Korban Ha'Eida (Megillah Ch. 1, Shiyarei HaKorban s.v. hada) were major proponents of this, as well. The Melamed L'Hoyeel (Shu"t O.C. 113, 1 & end 116) also follows the Chasam Sofer on this. Additionally, Rav Moshe Feinstein (Shu"t Igros Moshe Y"D vol. 3, 160, 1) implies that the Ikar truly is Adar Sheini for Yahrtzeits, as it should be the same as Bar Mitzvahs, all rationale proving otherwise notwithstanding. [Rav Ovadia Yosef (Chazon Ovadia - Purim pg. 34), expresses a similar sentiment. However, l'halacha Rav Moshe holds that one should observe the Yahrtzeit in both Adars - see footnote 17.] Yet, it must be stressed that most Ashkenazic poskim follow the Rema's shitta and maintain that the Yahrtzeit should be observed in Adar Rishon. These include the Maharil (Shu"t 31), Mahari"i Mintz (ibid.), Terumas HaDeshen (ibid.), Levush (ibid.), Elyah Rabba (O.C. 685, 7 & Elyah Zutah ad loc. 7), Taz (O.C. 568, 3), Chayei Adam (132, 37), Yeshuos Yaakov (ad loc. 4), Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (221, 3), Aruch Hashulchan (O.C. 568, 13 & 14), Shu"t Maharam Brisk (vol. 1, 128), Shu"t Har Tzvi (ibid.) and Shu"t Moadim U'Zmanim (vol. 7, end 250). The Mishna Berura (568, 42) as well, implies that regarding Yahrtzeits Adar Rishon is Ikar.
[17]The Rema in O.C. 568, 7 adds that there are those who are machmir to observe a Yahrtzeit in both Adars. Yet, in Y"D 402, 12, he repeats this halacha, while only mentioning that one should observe the Yahrtzeit in Adar Sheini! Nevertheless, several later authorities, including the Shach (Y"D 402, 11; quoting the Rashal and Bach) as well as the Magen Avraham (O.C. 568, 20) and the Vilna Gaon (Biur HaGr"a to O.C. 568, 7 s.v. shnayhem) hold that one must observe the Yahrtzeit in both Adars; the Gr"a even mandating it m'din. Although the Aruch Hashulchan (ibid.) writes strongly against what is essentially observing two Yahrzteits for one person, nevertheless, the Mishna Berura (ad loc. 42), Rav Moshe Feinstein (Shu"t Igros Moshe Y"D vol. 3, 160, 1), and Rav Moshe Sternbuch (Shu"t Moadim U'Zmanim (vol. 7, end 250) maintain that it is proper to observe a Yahrtzeit in both Adars if a parent was niftar in a standard Adar.
[18]Gemara Taanis 29a.
[19]Metzudas Dovid (Mishlei Ch. 15, 30 s.v. me'ohr einayim) 'Ha'aras Einayim B'Davar HameSupak Yismach Lev Ki Ain B'Olam Simcha K'Hataras HaSafeikos'! This saying is also cited by the Pri Megadim (O.C. beg. 670, E.A. s.v. nohagin and O.C. 682, M.Z. end 1) regarding why on Chanuka (as we say in Al HaNissim) it is fitting that the 'Zeidim' were given over to the 'Oskei Torasecha'.
[20]See Shu"t Beis Shlomo (Even Ha'ezer 56) who maintains that such an Adar Bar Mitzvah boy should be machmir to start laying Tefillin a month and a day prior to his actual Bar Mitzvah in Adar Sheini. Although not everyone follows his chiddush, it is cited by many poskim l'maaseh. See Shu"t Shevet HaLevi (vol. 6, 9 and vol. 10, 105, 2), Shu"t Tzitz Eliezer (vol. 13, 10 s.v. ela & u'chyadua), Shu"t Moadim U'Zmanim (vol. 7, 250 s.v. v'ch"z & u'la"d), Orchos Chaim (Spinka, 37), Igros HaKodesh (5717, vol. 14, 243, postscript), and Shu"t L'Horos Nosson (vol. 12, 5). Thanks are due to R' Shloimie Lerner for pointing out and providing these invaluable sources.

Report Claims Discredited Study That Linked Vaccines To Autism Wasn't Just A Mistake, But An Outright Fraud
from the hide-your-kids,-hide-your-wife dept
Last year, Wakefield lost his license to practice medicine in the UK, after he was found guilty of "serious professional misconduct." That was because of serious ethical lapses in how he conducted the study. He apparently did invasive tests that were unnecessary and without the proper permission. He also tested a new vaccine -- which was going to be sold by a company Wakefield had set up -- on a child, without telling the child's doctor, or mentioning the test in the child's medical notes. And the kicker: "He was also found to have unethically arranged for his son's friends to have blood samples taken from them during his birthday party -- for which he paid them £5 each."
The latest news is that a study of the original research has concluded that the problems with the original report do not appear to have been mere mistakes, but were almost certainly fraud. The report states that there is clear evidence that the data was falsified. The report does not beat around the bush:
Deer unearthed clear evidence of falsification. He found that not one of the 12 cases reported in the 1998 Lancet paper was free of misrepresentation or undisclosed alteration, and that in no single case could the medical records be fully reconciled with the descriptions, diagnoses, or histories published in the journal.The report also notes that Wakefield has never been able to replicate his findings. However, Wakefield is still standing by the original research, even as his co-authors have disavowed it and given all of the problems associated with it. That link goes to CNN and is a perfect example of what Jay Rosen refers to as "the view from nowhere" journalism. It seems to bend over backwards to let "both sides" weigh in on the story with some people supporting Wakefield, and others disagreeing, but appears to do nothing to help establish what is factual and what is not.
Who perpetrated this fraud? There is no doubt that it was Wakefield. Is it possible that he was wrong, but not dishonest: that he was so incompetent that he was unable to fairly describe the project, or to report even one of the 12 children's cases accurately? No. A great deal of thought and effort must have gone into drafting the paper to achieve the results he wanted: the discrepancies all led in one direction; misreporting was gross.

Solo pianist George Winston, best known for his seasonally themed recordings including DECEMBER, AUTUMN, WINTER INTO SPRING, and SUMMER, presents a solo piano concert.
This solo piano concert will feature selections from George's melodic piano recordings, as well as R&B piano, stride piano, Vince Guaraldi's Peanuts© pieces, and more. George will also play some Hawaiian Slack Key guitar.

In 1972 George recorded his first solo piano album, BALLADS AND BLUES 1972.

New Coltrane
Good news and bad news. The good news - there's some "new" Coltrane on the market. The bad news - you have to buy a box set in order to get it.
As part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for Impulse, they're releasing a 4-CD set entitled Impulse! @50: First Impulse - The Creed Taylor Collection. John Coltrane's previously unreleased demo recording for his Africa/Brass big band album is included, plus some alternate takes from the session. Albums like Gil Evans' La Nevada, Ray Charles' Genius + Soul = Jazz, and Oliver Nelson's Stolen Moments are part of the set, but who doesn't have those already?

1. Re: CS5 Install Problemsjrendall24 May 15, 2010 11:26 PM (in response to pixotic)
I have the same exact problem as well. I also a Vista user and bought and downloaded Design Premium. After installing, when I try to use the program the license agreement pops up for me to accept. I click "accept" and it just keeps popping up over and over.
I am wondering myself if anybody knows how to fix this :s
2. Re: CS5 Install ProblemsHeidi_S May 16, 2010 10:54 AM (in response to pixotic)
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 and purchased CS5 Web Design Premium upgrade from CS3 Web Design Premium Upgrade. I purchsed both from Adobe's online store.
The CS5 install would run but came back with the message that there was a problem with my installation: 46 errors and 21 warnings. That the functionality of the applications would be affected. The separate Acrobat setup didn't even make a pretense of trying to install.
I followed all their trouble-shooting instructions and tried installing with CS3 installed and with CS3 uninstalled. I redownloaded everything again, in case I had a corrupted file. I ran their diagnostic support program and it didn't find any problems...of course it also had installation errors so who knows.
I talked with their chat person last night and was told that the version of CS3 I had was "World Wide English" and that the version of CS5 I downloaded was "Universal English" and that was why I my installation wasn't working. They also told me I was the only one having a problem.
I pointed out that their store only indicates "Windows, English" for both CS3 and CS5 and that the error codes I got indicated that it's looking for a 64-bit machine while I'm running a 32-bit machine. They insisted I had the wrong version of English.
I was told to wait 24 hours and return my purchase for the correct version. I think I'm going to return my CS5 upgrade purchase and stick with CS3 until they can get themselves sorted out.
It is comforting though, to know that I'm NOT the only one having a problem.
3. Re: CS5 Install Problemspixotic May 16, 2010 2:53 PM (in response to jrendall24)
Okay- here goes, after about 5 hours total in tech support calls, finally a technician and I figured it out. Now, this is what worked for me, but might not necessarily work for you...
1) Install your Adobe products as usual
2) Go to "Computer" and whatever drive you have installed CS5 on
3) Go to Program Files > Common Files > Adobe
4) There should be a folder called "Adobe PCD", enter it. In the folder there will be another folder called "cache", in this folder will be a database file called "cache". Delete this file.
5) Restart your computer
6) Start up the Adobe product of your choice and see if it works. If it does, hurah, if not, I went through just about everything in the book to get this to work, so just pop back in here.
4. Re: CS5 Install firstname.lastname@example.com May 16, 2010 4:38 PM (in response to pixotic)
I am not sure what the problem is based off of the information you provided. For Creative Suite 5 product
installations the error is recorded in an installatino log file and we need that information in order to determine the cause of the problem. If you want to e-mail me, firstname.lastname@example.com, your log I can get back you with information about what caused the issue.
For information on finding and reading your installation log, see "Troubleshoot install errors using Creative Suite 5 install logs" (cpsid_84451).
I will also post any solutions here to your issue here.

Hail pixotic - it worked for me too!
I changed from international english to North American which shortened the install time by almost 18 minutes?.
However - There are many unclear things about the installation and very very little info - have cursed Adobe many times theese two and a half days I spent in frustration trying to figure out.
The pixotic - treatment should be in the FAQ or trouble shotting pages.

Thank you, pixotic. For all your effort.
- deleting Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db alone didn't work for you, which is my case
You may want to try my solution,
- delete Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\pim.db
Hope this helps.

11. Re: CS5 Install ProblemsLugh23s Mar 1, 2011 10:29 AM (in response to pixotic)
I have never had as many problems as I am now. I have been trying to download, extract and install Adobe Master Collection Trial Version for days.
This was intended to be an evaluation, as I had heard that Adobe would be able to cover all of my company's needs.
First, I attempted to download the files yto my 2 TB external harddrive. When I attempted to extract the files to either my /C drive or the External one, I was bombarded with issues, so I deleted all the files and started over the next day. Yesterday I made space on my /C drive for the files, downloaded again, and then left the Akamai Download Manager do it's work, or so I thought. when I returned, the manager was still prompting me to install, as if I had not already asked it. So I pressed install again, and waited. I let it run over night. Again, no report of completion or anything. I have not even begun installation, the progress bar, as of now, states I am still trying to extract the files. I gave up using Akamai. I am very frustrated with Adobe right now, if I cannot download thier product for trial testing I will move on to another company to fulfill my needs.
Adobe, if you are having this many dificulties with so many customers, and we haven't even been able to use your product yet, you need to fix things. I cannot believe anyone would release a product costing $2600 and not put enough effort to even get it to begin working. I do not have days to spend fixing your problems, and I am guessing others don't either. Fix the download/install problems.
12. Re: CS5 Install ProblemsPetаr Mar 1, 2011 10:55 AM (in response to Lugh23s)
Our sincere apologies for the problems with the download and installation of Master Collection CS5 ! We are working on a number on the process that should be available in the next few months. It sounds like you are experiencing a few issues, possibly connected. Please see the video attached to this knowledge base article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83772.html for detailed instructions on what you should expect with the download and installation. If you have problem with the Akamai Download Manager, you can uninstall it, go through the download process, and use the direct links offered in conjunction with the Akamai Download Manager. If you have already downloaded the installation files, you should be able to run the .exe, decompress the installation files, and run Set-up.exe to get the installation started. Should there be any issues with the installation, there is no need to re-download. Instead you can use the Adobe Support Advisor to get the issues diagnosed and helpfully addressed. See this article - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405816.html . You can also send me a private message, and I would be happy to get you in touch with our Support team directly. Again, apologies for the problems with the download and installation! We expect to be able to release great improvements to this flow in the next few months.

14. Re: CS5 Install ProblemsKarenStore May 5, 2011 4:44 PM (in response to pixotic)
The online store download center gives you 2 options to download your files.
1. Akamai Download Manager
2. Alternate Download Method (basically straight HTTP).
If you have trouble with the Akamai Download Manager or prefer to use HTTP, then select "Alternate Download Method" which will expand and give you links to the direct files.

Tandoori Chicken
Work has been very hectic lately and I am still yet to post my Easter dinner recipes. Decided to start with tandoori chicken.
Chicken Drumsticks - 8 (skin removed)
Tandoori masala or paste - 2 tbsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Salt - as needed
Ginger-garlic paste - 2 tsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Lime or Vinegar - 2 tsp
Butter - 2 tbsp
Cooking spray
Clean and make slits in the chicken drumsticks. Marinate the chicken with all the above ingredients except butter and cooking spray and leave it overnight. Place aluminium foil on the baking tray and spray a thin coating of cooking spray. Preheat oven to 375F and cook for about 45min till it turns golden brown on top. If you like it crispier place it in the top rack and broil for about 5min. This needs to be served hot as it dries out pretty fast.

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla., Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said a man was hospitalized with burn wounds after accidentally shooting himself in the groin with a flare gun.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to a medical assistance call Sunday in Lehigh Acres and arrived to find Jorge Perez, 23, with multiple burns and lacerations on his genital region, WZVN-TV, Fort Myers, reported Tuesday.
Perez told deputies he had loaded the flare gun and set it down Sunday. He later picked it up and, forgetting he had loaded it, fired it at the ground.
The man said the flare bounced off the floor and struck him in the genitals.

Loaded w/ Navi- Sun sound intertaiment- power mirrors- Z71 sport package and i have no clue if this is a deal or not! i do know that the LT fair price is set around 46k so 7k for the options its a spike that i dont even know is good or not. we still have not gone through the financial office so i know for a fact they will raise that price up for whatever reason. please share some insight. thank you.0
evildude Posts: 2That sounds like a lot, imagine after they add the taxes?
Are you planning to put anything down?0
Well they estimated the taxes to be close to 5k and yes thats already added to the lump sum.
The idea me and my wife had was to pay for the taxes as the down payment. so yes 5k down. is it still a lot?0

jq36 Posts: 3I would appreciate feedback on this deal, I posted this on the Yukon Forum as well:
2013 Yokon Denali, MSRP: $62,000 and some change.
Best Deal I got $54000 out the door. which could be around $50,500 sale price.
What do you guys think?
Appreciate the feedback.
Also have a quote on a similarly equipped Tahoe LTZ for $50,000 sale price.
I'm leaning Denali!0
So you are saying that the Denali is only $500 more than the LTZ? If so, then it looks like the Denali is the better deal.0

Before I can answer that question I would need to know a few things. Are you trading anything in? Are you putting any money down? Do you want 4x4 or 2x4? Once I get that information I could let you know what the payments would be.0
Hi zthompson,
I won't be trading anything in...and no money down (except fees).
Looking for 4x4.

tarheel4 Posts: 5Appreciate any thoughts on this pricing. 2012 Tahoe LTZ dealer demo fully loaded with 10k miles for $48.5k before taxes and tags in NC. I've searched other local inventory, and the price seems to fall right in between a 2012 with slightly higher mileage and a 2013 with comparable mileage. Thanks!0
That sounds a little high for 2 year old vehicle but then again the mileage is low. Have you checked Edmunds r Kelley Blue Book or NADA for price comparison?0
You have gotten the dealer to go from MSRP of $62k to $50.5k on the Denali? I would pull the trigger!
That's not the case in Denver!0
We are looking at a brand new 2013 Tahoe Z71 with an MSRP for $55,900. We have negotiated to $46,000 plus tax/title/etc on 2 different models. Is this a good deal?
Second question, one has the bench in the 2nd row and the other has bucket seats for the 2nd row. I prefer the bucket seats but don't have experience with either. Has anyone found one advantageous over the other?

Hope I can revive this thread. I'm looking at 2014 Tahoe LTZ lease. May I ask how much others paid for theirs or the price you used to base your lease on (given down pmt). I understand 2015s are coming out and they redesigned it. Hoping for a break on leasing a 2014. Thanks in advance.0

Odon Jerzy Wos
Born: November 18, 1925
Warsaw, Poland
Odon was the third of four children born to Roman Catholic parents in Warsaw, Poland's capital. His father had worked for the Polish merchant marine before starting his own textile business in 1930. When Odon was 8, the family moved to a comfortable apartment located near the Royal Castle and Vistula River. In 1932 Odon began attending grade school.
1933-39: In September 1938 I began secondary school. Sensing growing danger from Germany, my father advised me to study German in addition to French. On September 1, 1939, the day school began, the Germans attacked Poland. For four weeks they bombed Warsaw; there were corpses and blood everywhere. On September 29 Warsaw surrendered.
1940-44: At 16, I joined the Polish underground [Armia Krajowa], and trained for combat and sabotage. On August 1, 1944, the Warsaw uprising began. I took part with my unit in attacks on German strongholds like the main post office. In mid-August I volunteered to deliver ammunition to Warsaw's besieged Old Town by crawling through the city's three-foot-wide sewer pipes. I'd tie a 50-pound sack around my chest and crawl six hours there and four hours back. After 63 days of fighting and being pounded by artillery and bombardments, we surrendered on October 3.
Odon was eventually taken to a POW camp in Austria, from which he escaped to Switzerland on April 20, 1944. He joined Polish troops fighting with the Allies in France.

Denny Hamlin entered confident he was going to win the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway. He said as much Friday, but Hamlin struggled all afternoon and finished a disappointing 19th Sunday.
"Just slow -- that's the only thing that was wrong with us today," Hamlin said. "Just a frustrating day, especially when you know that this is a race track that I feel like I can make up a difference here and there. We were a football field and then some away from the right setup today."
Martinsville is one of Hamlin's favorite tracks, and with four career victories it's also one of his best. And a week after sitting out because of a scrap of metal in his eye, the native Virginian was motivated to silence his critics by winning Sunday.
He started the weekend off well by qualifying second alongside teammate Kyle Busch. Hamlin was even competitive early, but struggled to keep pace once the sun peaked out of the clouds and the track conditions changed. Not helping matters was an ignition issue that caused his Toyota to repeatedly shutoff through the corners.
"Setup-wise, we really could have used Saturday," Hamlin said referring to rain which canceled all on-track activity Saturday. "There was a laundry list of things that we needed to try and didn't get to do it. Obviously, this car and the setup that we had was really good for 10 laps, but it just goes away too much after that."
Hamlin wasn't the lone Joe Gibbs Racing driver to leave Martinsville frustrated.
After starting on the pole, Busch led the opening 16 laps, but faded as the race moved to its conclusion. Having won the week before at Auto Club Speedway and virtually ensured of qualifying for the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the No. 18 team elected to be aggressive with its setup.
It was a gamble that backfired, as Busch finished 14th.
"Odds are you're going to be in the Chase so we got the most aggressive with our setup and our teammates were less aggressive in areas," said Dave Rogers, Busch's crew chief. "We intentionally tried getting out of the box a little bit and more times than not when you do that it bites you. That's what you have to do to learn. Really just disappointed to come to Martinsville and don't get a better finish than that, but excited about what we learned."
JGR's third driver, Matt Kenseth, also experienced an up-and-down day. For much of the first half of the 500-lap race, only Jimmie Johnson had a consistently faster car than Kenseth's No. 20 machine.
But after choosing not to pit during a caution, Kenseth quickly dropped down the running order and eventually fell a lap down. He would get his lap back when Kyle Larson spun off of Turn 2 on Lap 341 and Kenseth was the lucky dog recipient. Kenseth would rally to finish sixth.

The last time fans saw the Hawks players together, Corey Crawford delivered a memorable speech where he and "biggest bunch of beauties in the league," as he called them, got the rock star treatment in Grant Park.
The team was together for one more victory lap with the Stanley Cup this weekend at the Blackhawks Convention at the Hilton Chicago.
In welcoming fans to the convention, Jonathan Toews said, "I'm sure you guys are getting pretty bored at my speeches. It's pretty much the same thing every year. How many people out there would like to hear from Corey Crawford today?"
A smiling Crawford waved Friday night as the crowd chanted his name.
"It's probably not the time and place for what Corey would have to say today," Toews teased, drawing laughs from convention attendees.
The usually reserved goalie shocked fans last month when he dropped two F-bombs in his epic and unexpected speech in which he proclaimed his teammates "worked their nuts off for this trophy."
He said he winged the speech, which capped off a week of parading around the city with the Cup.
"It was a one-time deal, a lot of emotions for that moment," Crawford said this weekend. "We were having fun all week and I maybe got a little carried away."
That victory speech racked up thousands of views on YouTube.
"I bet you there's about a million and a half people who were thinking about that and he said it," Bryan Bickell said.
It was a unforgettable speech for both fans and players.
"That was hysterical; I think all the boys loved it," Andrew Shaw said.
While Crawford hasn't had his day with the Cup, his summer has been anything but dull. He organized a kids hockey camp with friends and received an important call to be one of five Hawks to go to Canada's Olympic orientation camp.
"It's pretty cool," Crawford said. "I never got the chance to play for Team Canada. Just getting an invite is the first step. It doesn't mean I'll make the team, but it's a chance to get to that point."

Small Cool 2009: Bee's Crawl in Wardrobe
Who Lives Here: Bee
Location: London, United Kingdom
Size: 259 square feet
What is your one favorite element in your small, cool home? Since mine is a studio flat, everything is in one room so my favourite element has to be how adaptable the layout and furniture is. When I have guests, the daybed becomes a sofa, the stools that make up the window seat become the dining chairs, and the scatter cushions on top of the low bookcases become ideal places to perch. The huge open cupboards that run along the front of this attic room pose as a walk (crawl) in wardrobe, and out of sight storage for magazines, art materials and music. I even use the plate rack to hang drying clothes! A truly versatile home.

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? I live on the top (fourth) floor of a Victorian conversion, and since it's the loft room the steps leading up to it are tiny and make carrying anything up them extremely awkward. This means I couldn't get large thrifted or antique pieces; everything had to be flat packed and hand built. Instead of rushing to furnish the place, I carefully chose multifunctional pieces and gradually managed to build up a cosy yet practical space. Mixing Ikea's cheapest, plain wood items with their more charming essentials (like the coffee table used for dining) meant that I could have striking features and have fun wood staining, painting, and decoupaging! I draw inspiration from everything around me but my biggest resource was online sites like Apartment Therapy, The Selby, Ikea Hacker, and Design Sponge. I must also mention Livejournal communities like saucydwellings and ourbedrooms, the kind of places where you can discuss ideas and get wonderful feedback.
