Steep Canyon Rangers with Steve Martin & Edie Brickell | Review
Master magician, Steve Martin performed a neat trick Friday night at Eugene's Hult Center for the Performing Arts—he twisted a blazing-hot bluegrass band (Steep Canyon Rangers), a "notorious" singer/songwriter (Edie Brickell) and his own show-biz savoir-faire into an entertaining, vaudevillian blend of musicianship and comedy.

North Carolina's Steep Canyon Rangers have been picking quality bluegrass since their formation in the early 2000s, but it took a little while for their well-deserved recognition and success to begin snowballing.

I spent my entire weekend at DelFest thinking of a musician who wasn't even on the lineup: Doc Watson.. I had heard of his declining health just before I departed for the festival. I overheard many at DelFest expressing their own concern. It appears we all had a feeling, sadly. I wish we'd have been wrong.

I had a dream about Steve Martin, last night..
I knew I'd be writing this story, today.. That's likely why he was on my mind. Of course he was in a white suit, with an arrow headband on his head. [I'm a child of the seventies, after all..] But instead of playing for laughs, he was picking his banjo with fire, along with a bevy of world-class bluegrass musicians. This was an especially fun dream, considering I've never seen him perform in any capacity beyond the movie theater.

Progressive jam giants Umphrey's McGee's return to Las Vegas for the seventh installment of the massively popular UMBowl production was marked once again by a stand-out tour closing dual evening extravaganza where all stops were pulled out and the power given directly to the fans, for better or for worse.
On June 24, Round Records & ATO Records will release GarciaLive Volume Six: July 5, 1973 – Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders, the latest installment of the celebrated GarciaLive archival series. The three-CD set was recorded at the 200 capacity Lion's Share club formerly located in the small town of San Anselmo, CA, just 20 miles north of San Francisco. The performance features Jerry Garcia performing with friend, mentor and legendary keyboardist/vocalist Merl Saunders. The duo is joined by drummer Bill Vitt and bassist John Kahn, who soon became a lifelong Garcia collaborator.

Let's dive into a new section of my Reaction Architecture series: the Core Commerce Funnel.
We'll spend the next six weeks looking at the different parts of our commerce funnel, exploring how each part is built to optimize conversions. We'll also discuss how to hook into the different methods within the funnel. Like every post in the series, I'll be referring to this flow diagram, which will require logging in to your LucidChart account to view. Sign up for free.
Last month, we explored some of the concepts that you'll see throughout the rest of this series, so if you missed anything, I'd recommend at least skimming through some of my previous posts, just so you have a reference point for the different terms I'm using.
Today, we're focused on the Product Grid. The Product Grid diagram is broken into two primary segments: 1) the product grid that all users can shop from and interact with, and 2) the product grid settings view of the Action Panel, which I'll dig into in a bit. We'll go through this diagram and spend some time introducing some of the new components being reused throughout Reaction.
When the Product Grid is viewed, we trigger a Product List Viewed event, which is also linked to the Segment.io Product List Viewed event, as well as the Google Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce event. You can also hook into this event from a plugin. For more details, read our Events blog post, or check out our Docs.
Permissions to view the Product Grid are controlled by the tag permission, defined in the product-variant plugin. This permission is granted by default to all users—anonymous, guest, and administrative. You can change this, but we're not going to get into that in this post.
Users can filter products shown in the grid. We're actively working on implementing a better UI for filtering, but for now, you can easily filter products by price: below, above, or in between a certain price. You may also use tag filtering to quickly and easily add filtering for other product attributes, such as color, size, or material. Filtering products will trigger a Product List Filtered event (Segment docs), which will then allow you to start sorting your merchandise.
With our new filtering UI, you'll be able to easily sort products by price or other attributes. You can already implement this on your own fairly easily, and most shops on Reaction already have some form of sorting and filtering built in. We expect most bigger shops to customize sorting and filtering to match their specific shop, but we wanted to build in basic functionality for shops that don't need a custom sorting or filtering solution. Sorting products will trigger a Product List Filtered event and pass the sorts property.
Reaction's basic search performs text searches of products. It searches titles, variant and option labels, descriptions, vendors, etc. If you need a more advanced search, we recommend using Elasticsearch or something similar. Or, you can build your own custom plugin to connect with third-party search capabilities. If you have, let us know!
Searching products will trigger a Products Searched event (Segment docs).
Other than filtering, sorting, and searching, every interaction within the Product Grid involves an item on the grid, typically a product. We plan to support integrating content alongside products in this grid once our as part of our content management.
The ability to add a product to a wishlist is on our roadmap. Users must be logged in and have the wishlist permission, which is granted by default, to add a product to a wishlist. I'll come back and expand on this section in a couple months, once our wishlist functionality is completed.
Adding a product to the wishlist will trigger a Product Added to Wishlist event. This event will trigger a confirmation alert and permit the user to link directly to their wishlist from the alert.
Clicking anywhere on the grid item will take the customer to the Product Detail View for that product and trigger a Product Clicked event (Segment docs).
If a user is logged in and has the createProduct permission for the active shop, clicking an item on the Product Grid will open up the Action View panel, with the selected item as the context.
While a product is selected, clicking another product will add that product to the selection, while clicking an empty space in the grid will deselect any currently selected products.
All changes made to products from the Product Grid settings panel require changes to be published before they are made visible to users without createProduct permissions. As you can see from the Product Grid flow diagram, most of these changes trigger an event.
It's probably better to think of the Product Grid as a component for showing multiple products vs. just a plain grid. Want to view your products as a list or in some formation other than a grid? This is where you'll do it. In fact, we're currently working on a "list" view for the product grid as a part of core.
This is also the component you should use if you want to show related, suggested, or other sets of products embedded in other views, such as the Product Detail view. And if you want, you can also change sizes of the grid image, or even add additional image sizes (docs coming soon).
For more info on components, check out the Reaction Style Guide.
Next week, we'll look into the Product Detail view.


Behind Freddy Krueger's pockmarked mask and razor-tipped gloves, actor Robert Englund has inspired nightmares in more moviegoers than virtually any other on-screen menace. In his new movie, Freddy vs. Jason, he faces his own worst nightmare: a confrontation with Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees. But when the cameras aren't rolling, the bloody rivalry doesn't seem to bother Englund one bit. So what does keep Englund up at night? Find out why screaming fans, feral hobbits and San Diego girls-gone-wild creep out Freddy Krueger, as Englund records an exclusive diary while attending Comic-Con, America's largest comic convention.
7-19-03, 11:21 a.m. Robert Englund here. I'm in the humidity from Mexico in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego. I just met Don Davis, the most ubiquitous actor in the history of television. He's on every other episode of the 'X-Files.' He's in his limo. There are hobbits in the bar behind me and I'm getting ready to go to Comic-Con. It is exactly 11:20 and I've finally been recognized here out of make-up. Over and out.
7-19-03, 11:25 a.m. I'm finally in the limo. My agent, Stephen Lo, went into the lobby and disappeared -- I think he was doing shooters with hobbits -- but we're finally off to Comic-Con. This is my first time. I'm a little disappointed. Apparently there's no Elm Street, only a Camp Crystal Lake, but we'll just have to see about that. 11:25 and counting.
7-19-03, 11:31 a.m. I'm outside Comic-Con, the line here is around the block. I'm telling you, there's more fans here than I saw in British Vancouver when Wayne Gretzky came back. This is pretty impressive. I have a hunch a lot of the young males are here for Angelina Jolie. I understand Lara Croft is here, in person, in the flesh -- nudge nudge, wink, wink. I'm going to follow some hobbits. I'm on my way to the one-on-one interviews. (Pause) I'm still seeing fans, literally six to eight hundred fans, potentially a thousand fans just outside milling about.
7-19-03, 11:32 a.m. In the distance is the bridge to the Coronado Island from Some Like It Hot.
7-19-03, 11:34 a.m. We're now entering the mystery loading dock. This is so the orc fans don't mob me and Jason.
7-19-03, 2:09 p.m. I'm backstage with Ken Kirzinger [who plays Jason Voorhees], we're about to go out to the dais with [producer] Sean Cunningham and [director] Ronny Yu. The audience is rabid. They've just seen a preview of Texas Chainsaw Massacre umpteenth. (Massive applause) We're getting ready. We're backstage and here we go.
7-19-03, 8:49 p.m. It's 8:50. I'm walking through the masquerade here at Comic-Con 2003. I still don't have my script, but I'm getting closer to committing to winging it. However, the Goth girls are beginning to arrive. They are filtering in. If it wasn't for the rest of the line-up, I would be very attractive to some of them. More later. Hope I get a script soon.
7-20-03, 12:35 a.m. I'm here at the imitation Sky Bar on the rooftop garden of the W in downtown San Diego. Most of the Comic-Con is over. Stephen Lo is sitting shotgun with me. We're under a garden umbrella. It's so humid, we're all slick and shiny like we've been pasted with Vaseline. The floor is covered with pristine pure white sand. The problem is that the anorexic girls of San Diego, the wanna-be Gwyneth Paltrows, have all stubbed out their little lipstick-laden cigarettes and it's getting a little disgusting for my friend Stephen Lo.
7-20-03, 1:35 a.m. Late night. Still on the roof. Hobbits are missing. Orcs are missing. Jason's working the nubile girls. Stephen Lo is still upright. 1:30 in the morning. Tomorrow the signing will be undivine.


A sign that radio is starting to balk at sports franchise demands?
After 18 years as flagship radio station of the San Francisco 49ers, ABC news-talk station KGO(AM) walked away from talks about airing the games.
Instead, Susquehanna will air the games in that market on sports stations KNBR(AM), KTCT (AM) and classic rock KSAN(FM). The Giants' flagship station is KNBR, so early 49er games will air on KTCT; once Giants season ends, KNBR would become the 49er carrier, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Susquehanna deal is said to be for at least four years; KGO had two years left on its contract.
In addition to airing about eight hours of coverage on game days, Susquehanna plans added programming and promotion during the week, helping to tip the deal in their favor, said a 49er marketing rep. to the Chronicle.
The 49ners wanted a new business arrangement, according to the account.
Susquehanna agreed to a deal in which the 49ers will now sell the ad time for the game broadcasts and choose the announcers, according to the Chronicle.


Dimapur: The Dimapur Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) centre is reportedly suffering from a severe of shortage of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs yet again. The lives of thousands of people living with HIV and AIDS are dependent on the ARV drugs routed through this centre at present.
ARV medicines are a combination of critical drugs used to treat HIV, AIDS in people who are using the 'second line' of ART, a treatment regimen used in a sequence immediately after the 'first line' therapy fails, say reports.
As per reports, the ARV drugs are completely out of stock at the Dimapur centre since October 1 and people with HIV are being told to buy medicines from outside. The cost of medication is around Rs 2,500 a month, which is a costly affair for many.
After several NGOs informed the Nagaland State AIDS Control Society (NSACS), a temporary solution was provided with an allocation of 30 boxes of the drug that arrived at the centre on October 12.
However, as per reports, only ten days of supply could be arranged for around 300 people before the drugs ran out of stock on Tuesday putting the HIV patients again at risk.
The unavailability of drugs might lead to a greater health risk for the patients under medication of the said ARV medicines leading to drug resistance and eventually dependence on 'third-line' ART. To avail of this therapy again, patients will have to travel to Imphal in Manipur, as there are no facilities to provide the said treatment in Nagaland.

The West is ready to fight among themselves for the vaccine – RIA Novosti columnist
Home Opinion
The columnist for RIA Novosti Irina Alksnis analyzed the essence and chronology of conflicts in Western countries over the sequence and provision of a vaccine against the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for a fair distribution of COVID-19 vaccines around the world.
Thus, she formally supported the World Health Organization, which is sounding the alarm about the clearly observed unevenness in access to drugs for coronavirus, depending on the level of the country's wealth. According to the head of WHO, at the moment vaccination is being carried out in about 50 countries – and almost all of them are rich, and 75 percent of all doses were applied in only ten countries.
True, the solidarity of the German leader with the WHO looks like slyness, since justice is a relative concept and can be understood in very different ways.
Almost simultaneously with Merkel's speech in Davos, the Minister of Health of Germany expressed support for the Brussels initiative to license the export of vaccines produced in the European Union. Jens Spahn was blunt when he said that "in the end, we have advanced several hundred million euros on almost all contracts signed by the EU so that production capacity can be expanded."
He emphatically noted that "the point is not to be the first, it is a question of justice." And really, which approach is more correct in such a situation: equally, or should the priority be given to those who invested more in the process?
However, the problem is not limited to the split along the line "poor countries – rich countries". Moreover, they are secondary, because the main battle for the vaccine has unfolded within the West.
The European Union is louder and louder in the scandal with the Anglo-Swedish company AstraZeneca. She notified Brussels that it was forced to reduce the contractual supplies by 60 percent due to production and logistics difficulties. Europe is categorically not satisfied with such prospects, and it requires the fulfillment of contractual obligations.
However, this will require supplies to the continent of a drug produced in British facilities. But London, by its own agreement with AstraZeneca, has a priority right to these products. In turn, Europe has a bargaining chip up its sleeve, as it could cut off the export of vaccines produced on its territory to Britain. In general, a vicious circle.
In addition, the UK is already in a much better position. Now about ten percent of the population is vaccinated on the island – against two percent on the continent. The kingdom is projected to receive three times as many vaccine doses as the EU in the first quarter.
The political context aggravates the situation. In light of the just-concluded Brexit, this all looks like a painful click on the nose of Brussels and reinforces the Eurosceptic arguments that the British did the right thing to leave their union. In general, due to the combination of circumstances, the media talk about the possibility of a full-scale "vaccine war" between the parties.
The main problem for the West is not that the scale of vaccine production does not physically allow to quickly meet demand for it – which is why the elbowing is taking place. Other countries, including those that have developed their own drugs, for example, Russia and China, face this difficulty in one form or another. Everyone would like more and faster, but there are objective limits on production capacity.
The biggest problem – or, perhaps, it would be more correct to say a mistake – of the West is that it was on vaccination as a panacea that they made a decisive bet in the fight against COVID-19. Europe (including Britain) in this sense is the purest example of this approach, which boiled down to a simple one: lockdown is the main way the authorities work while waiting for a vaccine.
The result of such a policy is perfectly visible on the streets of European cities: society is already just in a rage from endless severe restrictions. The other day the Netherlands especially distinguished themselves. And there is no end in sight.
At the same time, in Russia and China, the state is showing much more flexibility in its policy. Most of the population experiences minimal inconvenience due to the introduced anti-epidemic measures. The restrictions are relaxed. The situation is generally stable and is gradually improving. The healthcare system is not bursting at the seams. The overcrowding of COVID hospitals is slowly decreasing. The specialists are cautiously optimistic in their forecasts.
In such an environment, the European approach of "keeping and not letting go until everyone is vaccinated" looks flagrantly ineffective. However, to all appearances, the authorities of the respective countries either cannot afford to change their policies, or simply do not understand how they can act differently.
As a result, all that is left for them is to violently rip apart the scarce vaccines from each other.
And, of course, we had to forget about the recent information war against Russian developments – as did Angela Merkel, who offered to Vladimir Putin the support of Germany in the approval procedure for Sputnik V in the European Union.

Sergey Bezrukov Shared A Rare Family Photo With His Wife And Children
Video: Sergey Bezrukov Shared A Rare Family Photo With His Wife And Children
Video: Сергей Безруков женился на новой возлюбленной 2023, February
The actor spends the weekend with his family.
46-year-old Sergei Bezrukov delighted fans with a new family photo with his 36-year-old wife Anna Matison and their two children. In the spring photo, the actor's relatives are captured in the sun, apparently on the terrace of their house.
In the comments, Sergey's fans leave rave reviews about his family: "Solar happiness"; "Great photo"; "This is happiness"; "It was such a family that you, Sergei, did not have enough …"; "Mentally so"; "The kids are lucky - dad is near, dad is lucky - the kids are growing up in front of his eyes, mom is lucky - all together"; "Warm photography"; "How wonderful you are. My heart sank with such beauty! Love and immense happiness in the photo"; "What a wonderful family. And all the best to you to all your family, and most importantly health, happiness, good luck and, of course, all the best"; "Sergey Vitalievich, what a wonderful, beautiful family you have! Every time the soul rejoices looking at the photo!", People write.
Recall that Sergei Bezrukov married director Anna Matison in March 2016. A little later, on July 4, the couple had a daughter, Maria. And at the end of May 2018, another good news became known. The actor said that soon a replenishment is expected in their family: Anna Mathison is pregnant again. And at the end of November 2018, Stepan appeared.

The Revolutionary Student Front is an Antifa student group at the University of Texas at Austin that thinks "bricks belong best thrown at pig heads" and yet also hosts "self-defense" classes. The group boasted a little over 2,000 Twitter followers until getting suspended, apparently for no reason, and with no notice when or if the account will be restored, according to The Daily Caller News Foundation.
But Twitter likely didn't ban the Revolutionary Student Front for "hate speech." The group explicitly incited violence by saying bricks should be thrown at cops. Here at Campus Unmasked, we absolutely loathe tooting our own horn, but RSF's ban came only a day or so after my report for Campus Unmasked and The Daily Caller News Foundation on the Antifa students' Revolutionary Mental Health Program.
What's really funny is that I reached out to UT Austin for comment on that story and got no reply. Perhaps they thought the story would just fizzle out. But two days later…you know, AFTER tens if not hundreds of thousands had read the story, the school disavowed the group, saying it's not an official campus organization.
Back to Twitter. Props to Jack Dorsey and his social justice crew for finally taking action against an account that's NOT right-wing, but don't think this means their war against nonleftists is up. Just this week, the company temporarily suspended Canary Mission, a watchdog group which tracks hatred towards and incitement to violence against Jews, for "hateful conduct." The doublethink is real. As for the Antifa kids, I see you reading my messages and not replying. You ain't so sneaky and let's be honest, you've got nothing to say.

Review of 'The Resignation of Eve' by Jim Henderson
Jim Henderson, The Resignation of Eve: What If Adam's Rib Is No Longer Willing to Be the Church's Backbone? (BarnaBooks, 2012). Paperback / Kindle
Women are the backbone of the American evangelical church. They constitute the majority of its attendees and volunteers. Absent their participation, all churches would shrink in size, and most ministries would dissolve for lack of both interest and involvement.
And yet, many—if not most—American evangelical churches have a stained glass ceiling beyond which women cannot rise in leadership. This is true whether or not the theology of the denomination or local congregation is explicitly complementarian or egalitarian. Women are allowed, by conviction or custom, to go thus far and no farther.
In The Resignation of Eve, Jim Henderson asks American evangelical women how they feel about this. Drawing on interviews with 15 women, he organizes their responses into three categories:
Some of the women have resigned themselves to their churches' positions on women;
others have resigned from their churches because of those churches' positions on women;
and, finally, some women have "re-signed"; that is, they've reengaged in their churches or in other churches, leading and influencing despite opposition (2).
Henderson describes himself as a "spiritual anthropologist." That is, he asks people how their spirituality helps them navigate life's issues. This is a descriptive task rather than a prescriptive one, which can be frustrating for readers who want to know what they should think on the issue of women in the church, not merely what some women in the church actually do think.
Nonetheless, describing what some women in the church actually do think is a very helpful exercise. For one thing, it turns out that not all women think alike. Some of them are supportive of complementarianism, which is the belief that God has assigned men and women complementary gender roles, with men leading and women submitting in church, home, and society. Others are supportive of egalitarianism, which is the belief that God calls and empowers men and women equally to exercise leadership in home, church, and society. For another thing, it indicates that the question of women's roles in the church has consequences. Another group of women, tired of the debate about gender roles and wounded by the actions of their local congregation, either drop out of church or leave the faith entirely.
Based on how Henderson arranges his material—on a high note, with women who have "re-signed" to lead—and on remarks scattered throughout the book, it is clear that his sympathies lie with the egalitarians. So do mine. But does this mean that The Resignation of Eve can be easily enlisted in the egalitarian side of the literary battle between egalitarians and complementarians?
No, and for several reasons:
First, egalitarian theology is not a guarantee of egalitarian practice. Even churches with strong beliefs in the equal calling and empowerment of men and women do not necessarily recruit, train, and deploy women in equal numbers or at equal levels of authority. Egalitarians, it turns out, need to be mores self-critical about what they actually do.
Second, while Henderson's sympathies clearly lie with egalitarians, he does not make a sustained biblical argument for his position, nor do any of the women he interviews. I imagine that complementarian readers will note this right away. Rather than simply dismissing the book for its lack of prescriptiveness, however, complementarian readers should listen to how the practice of their theology makes at least some women feel. One story that stuck with me was that of a interviewee from a charismatic church who was disappointed that a 13-year-old boy could offer a prophecy at her church without asking anyone's permission, but an adult woman had to ask her husband's. Even within the boundaries of complementarian theology, do these kinds of restrictions on women make sense?
Third, egalitarianism is not first and foremost about roles but about the dignity we recognize in and the respect we extend to other people, whatever their sex. In some ways, roles at home, church, and society are the easiest things to "fix." The heart? It's not so easy. What comes through loudest in The Resignation of Eve is the importance of listening to women's stories, honoring the desires God has given them to make a difference in the world, and then having enough humility not to get in their way.
P.S. If you found this review helpful, please vote "Yes" on my Amazon review page.

Alpine part 2 (and 3 - 6)...when will the season end?
This winter, what a season! April has started and here in the Alps, it doesn't look like it's slowing down...or warming up as we would expect or hope for. Even back at home it is looking to be a superb season and with no signs of slowing down either.
Since my last post there has been quite a lot going on. In February I jetted off to Aurland in Norway working for Moran Mountain. I had some of my regular clients along and working alongside some great friends made for a brilliant trip. Ice climbing is always good fun.
Skiing in the Alps has been close to non stop. Im just back from two hut to hut tours where we found some great snow but some rotten weather sometimes. Before that, I was observing guides with their clients, helping out and trying to learn as much as possible from them.
Rock climbing season doesn't seem that far away so I have managed to squeeze in a couple of cragging sessions in after skiing...to hopefully remind myself of how to do it!
The winter season is very close to the end for me. My final winter challenge is to pass my ski test. This is a 6 day assessment based in the Alps. Hopefully, the next time I post, I will be back in the UK with a big smile on my face. Results on the 20th April.
After that I will be back in the UK working my socks off before I go into the final stage of becoming a fully certified IFMGA Mountain Guide.
Here are a few pictures...but in no particular order!
Day off with Donald. Always an adventure. Unfortunately we DNF this route.
Freshies, an overused but relevant word this season.
When the bed bugs hit!


Forgiveness can be tough. Especially when someone has hurt us deeply or has maliciously abused us. How is it possible to forgive someone who has been so cruel?
If you have not forgiven someone who has hurt you, remember that real healing cannot take place until you let go of all bitterness and unforgiveness. Forgiveness is a process that may require considerable time and much prayer. But with Christ's help, you can do it. He forgave his attackers even as he died on the cross. And he forgives us freely when we turn to him. How can we do less?
You have a choice. You can choose to continue as you are. Or you can choose to forgive. Forgiveness will allow you to experience God's peace and all the good he has planned for your life.
Choose forgiveness today. It won't be easy, but God will make it possible. Ask him to forgive you for the bitterness and anger you feel. And then trust him to help you forgive your abuser and move on to the joy and fulfillment God has provided for you.

"""Python Application Programmer's Interface (Partial)

For information on functions and types in this module refer to the "Python/C
API Reference Manual" in the Python documentation.

Any exception raised by an API function is propagated. There is no need to
check the return type for an error. Where a PyObject * argument is expected
just pass in a Python object. Integer arguments will accept a Python int or
long. Other arguments require the correct ctypes type. The same relationships
apply to function return types. Py_ssize_t is available for Python 2.5 and up.
It defaults to c_int for earlier versions. Finally, a FILE_ptr type is defined
for FILE *.

Be aware that the Python file api funtions are an implementation detail that
may change.

It is safe to do an import * from this module.

An example where a Python string is copied to a ctypes character array:

>>> from pythonhdr import PyString_AsStringAndSize, Py_ssize_t
>>> from ctypes import c_char, byref, pointer, memmove, addressof
>>>
>>> char_array10 = (c_char * 10)()
>>> char_array10.raw
'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
>>> py_str10 = "x" * 10
>>> py_str10
'xxxxxxxxxx'
>>>
>>> cp = pointer(c_char())
>>> sz = Py_ssize_t(0)
>>> PyString_AsStringAndSize(s, byref(cp), byref(sz))
0
>>> memmove(addressof(char_array10), cp, sz.value)
8111688
>>> del cp
>>> char_array10.raw
'xxxxxxxxxx'

Carla Jacoba Henriëtte Klein (Baarn, 25 juli 1943) is een Nederlands beeldhouwer en medailleur uit Amsterdam.

Ze werd in Baarn geboren als dochter van een artistiek fotograaf. Van 1963 - 1966 bezocht ze de Gooise Academie te Laren (Noord-Holland). In 1967 verhuisde ze naar Amsterdam. Daar kreeg ze tussen 1967 en 1972 haar opleiding aan de Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. Ze kreeg er les van Piet Esser, Paul Grégoire, en Theresia van der Pant. Tijdens haar studie raakte ze gespecialiseerd in het maken van bronzen beelden. Door haar leermeester en medailleur Piet Esser raakte zij bovendien geïnspireerd in het maken van penningen. Zij werd na haar studie lid van de Vereniging voor Penningkunst en de Fédération Internationale de La Médaille (FIDEM) en van de Belgische Promotie van de Medaille (PVDM). Zij is nog lid van de BAMS (British Art Medal Society) en de Duitse penningvereniging DGMK.

In de brochures Studio Niklé. Een Dubbelportret van Atelier Niklé en Atelier Niklé 10 jaar staat een overzicht van de werken van Carla Klein tussen 1986 en 1990. In zeer beperkt verschenen druk verscheen in 1993 ter gelegenheid van haar vijftigste verjaardag Carla Klein Beeldhouwster / medailleur, geschreven door haar man, de kunstenaar en dichter Arnold (Arnaldo) Nieuwendam.

Beeldhouwer
Haar beginwerk bestond uit poppen in een sprookjesachtige wereld verbeeldden waarmee ze ook exposeerde..
Naast beelden die in het teken van de dans staan, heeft zij een voorkeur voor dierplastieken. Haar beelden zijn uitgevoerd in hout, brons en steen. Inmiddels boetseerde zij zo'n 100 beelden.

Haar beelden werden uitgereikt aan Olympisch kampioene Ellen van Langen en aan de ereburgers van het Amsterdamse stadsdeel Oud-Zuid. Vele kunstwerken zijn opgenomen in binnen- en buitenlandse collecties. Haar atelier Niklé staat aan de Mesdagstraat in Amsterdam.

Medailleur
Naast beeldhouwwerk ontwerpt zij vaak penningen met het onderwerp mens en dier. Zij maakte in totaal meer dan 90 penningen. Specialisatie daarbij is het portret op de penning. In 1997 ontwierp zij ter gelegenheid van het 25-jarig bestaan van Numismatische Kring Utrecht een bronzen penning. In 2005 was zij de ontwerpster van de erepenning van Enschede. In 2010 maakte zij de Jubileumpenning van Maria Callas als Violetta in La Traviata, ter gelegenheid van het twintigjarig bestaan van de Maria Callas International Club. Voor de historische vereniging Lekkerkerk door de eeuwen heen maakte ze in datzelfde jaar de Maartjepenning, een hommage aan Maartje van Limborgh die een legaat naliet aan de vereniging. In 2010 won zij met de penning Trojka in Lissabon een prijs op de International Biennal of Contemporary Medals. Op het winnende ontwerp staan op de voorzijde drie paarden boven elkaar geplaatst en aan de keerzijde drie paarden in diverse standen. Dat ze ook vaak vogels op penningen afbeeldde bleek bijvoorbeeld op de veertien eenzijdig gegoten exemplaren zoals op Liesbeth met Ooievaar (1980) en Huwelijkspenning met futen(1992).

Collecties

I'm happy to announce the launch of Acquisio Promote, an all-in-one digital marketing solution for local businesses in need of a digital presence and new customer generation.
People who have been following my career know that I deeply care about helping local businesses leverage digital marketing to grow their business.
Small business owners don't always have time to learn about the latest and greatest in search engine marketing and they often don't realize that a lot of searches are happening on mobile and that Google favors mobile-optimized websites.
According to research done in 2014 by Google, on understanding consumers' local search behavior, more than 90% of small businesses still do not have a mobile website; and that's something we wanted to improve. That same study also revealed that 40% of searchers say they would turn to a competitor's site after a bad mobile experience, meaning mobile friendly websites are crucial for small business growth.
At Acquisio, we realized we had to create a very simple solution which would bundle a mobile-optimized landing page (focused on conversions) with a trackable phone number (to easily track phone calls delivered to customers).
A simple, configurable, mobile-optimized website and URL with call tracking capabilities.
Ad campaigns on Google AdWords (and other leading ad networks) with a pre-built, vertical-specific site design, imagery, content and ad taxonomy.
Acquisio's proprietary optimization algorithm to deliver maximum clicks and calls within any geo-targeted radius.
Analytics and reporting dashboards with call tracking and recording capabilities.
Today, if someone is serious about advertising their small business, search engine marketing is crucial, and if they're serious about reaching customers in 2015, it will happen on mobile.
Behind the scenes, we'll use Acquisio's sophisticated bid optimization to help deliver more bang for the buck for small businesses. We're leveraging Acquisio's powerful technology, originally built for agencies, in this very simple product.
From a reporting point of view, we report on calls using the trackable phone number we deploy. We also track on the number of people clicking on driving directions, because we believe that's a good proxy for the number of people who will visit a store.
We are now sharing Promote with our reseller friends; directory and newspaper publishers, local search marketing agencies and any channel partners with small business advertisers who want to bolt-on a simple search engine marketing offer.
We are currently looking for our first few launch partners. We are working in startup mode and new features will be introduced all the time, so we are excited to work with our partners to build an even better product moving forward.

The Making of Predators, Casting the Human Predators
Articles Interviews Predators Projects
Walton Goggins was cast as tattoo-covered, feral Walter Stans, a serial killer who thinks of himself as a rock star. "Walt has an energy that allows him to be funny in one moment, terrifying in the next," says Antal. "You're laughing with him and then you're afraid of him. Every time Walt was on camera, all I could see was the crew slowly coming behind the monitors to watch him play. You don't need coffee if you have Walt Goggins."
Antal had cast Goggins, but Rodriguez was at the time unfamiliar with the actor's acclaimed work on "The Shield" and other projects. Additionally, the character as scripted was still a work in progress. "I thought we were going to have to overhaul the character and go in an entirely different direction," Rodriguez remembers. "And it was a predicament because Nimrod had already hired Walt. So, I said let's just fly him down so I can at least say to him face to face, 'Look, I'm sorry, we're just changing the part radically, I'm not happy with it." And Walt was an incredible collaborator and talent. He was my kind of actor – willing to do whatever it took to make the part work. He just started trying different things right then and there, bouncing off the walls with energy. He basically recreated that entire character of Stans from the ground up right there in the room. He created a very original character."
"Stans has spent sixteen years on death row," explains Goggins. "The first images that he sees outside of a prison cell of an alien jungle are just a little over-stimulating for him. He fancies himself the only celebrity on this new planet of terror and thinks that people should be asking him for his autograph. He's dark, but also I think rather funny and pessimistic."
A San Quentin orange jumpsuit and multiple tattoos, including a Scorpion tattoo on his neck, helped Goggins get into character. He spent on average of an hour and half in the make-up chair on a daily basis to maintain the fake body art. "The tattoos made me feel very authentic. It's been interesting walking around, both Hawaii and Austin, with them on. You get the help that you need in stores and restaurants. You don't get the help that you want, people are not helping you out of kindness. They're helping you out of fear," laughs Goggins.
Joelle Carter's thoughts on Walton
Blurbs & Mentions Press
TV Fanatic sat down with Joelle Carter who plays the headstrong Ava Crowder for a interview recently and though it's brief she mentions not only Timothy but her impression of Walton as well. 🙂
TV Fanatic: How about Walton Goggins? He seems like he'd be a riot

The Spoon Feed.com's audio interview with Walton
Audio Interviews Press
[audio:https://walton-goggins.net/media/audio/thespoonfeed_june21st2010.mp3]
When you consider the leading men in today's roles, few manage to capture the true essence of their characters. We so often are subjected to a constant barrage of the same garbage-roles, written in the same garbage-manner — the underdog always wins, the bad guys always lose…
Well when is comes to Walton Goggins career in both TV and Film, none of the aforementioned statements ring true. This guy has made a career out of making small-roles huge.
The best example I could give is Goggins' portrayal of Shane Vendrell in FX's gritty cop-drama The Shield. From the start of the series, Shane serves as a sort of right-hand-man to the main character, Vic Mackey (played by Michael Chiklis). Over the course of the 7 seasons, Shane goes from being a dude with some cool scenes and a moderate amount of screen-time, to the ultimate show-stopper. Literally. If you are familiar with The Shield you know what I'm talking about. If you aren't, let me just say that Goggins trumps his colleagues on screen — and this cast included Glenn Close, CCH Pounder, Forrest Whittaker, etc. When I expressed my admiration for his performance on The Shield, Goggins just humbly laughed and diverted the conversation towards his experiences on and off the set with the other cast members.
As much as I admired and continue to admire Mr. Goggins' work, his professional rapport and approach to the industry is one that Hollywood can learn from. Every time we referenced one of his roles he has this expression of thankfulness that I have rarely seen. The "movie-star" sense of entitlement just doesn't exist with this guy. What I mean to say is: THIS GUY IS JUST A NORMAL DUDE.
I think that has a great deal to do with his Southern upbringing. Goggins is a native Atlantean, though since moving to L.A. he says his tastes have gradually shifted from "pulled-pork to sushi."
In the upcoming Predator sequel, aptly entitled Predators, Walton is playing "Stans," a vicious, sociopathological serial killer. As with many of his other projects, Predators is made up of a stellar ensemble cast; a huge asset to Walton considering his style seems to be so in touch with the people around him.
Keep your eye on this guy — I'm promise you he is going to be the biggest character actor of the new generation in Hollywood. Microwave some popcorn, pop a squat in your favorite chair and get comfortable, Walton Goggins is the newest household name, and he's here to stay.
CSI "Empty Eyes" captures and Video!
Appearances Photos Video
I've added 106 captures of Walton's guest role on CSI' Season 7 episode "Empty Eyes" from 2007. I've also added the video of his scenes only, which I have to say is really worth watching simply because of how greatly he portrays his character, though when does he not? However, if you watch toward the end he seems to have channeled a little bit of Michael C. Hall's character from Dexter, which I personally loved. If you watch Dexter, you'll see what I mean. 🙂

Cowboys and Aliens lassos another: Walton Goggins joins cast
Articles Cowboy and Aliens Press Projects
It's great being a character actor. You don't have to go through the ups and downs of an A-list star or worry about your star distinguishing and being left for dead by Hollywood. If you make a name – or face – for yourself, you just keep on working…
Walton Goggins is a great case in point. The man's been at it since the early 90s, appearing in over 50 movies and t.v. shows. He's mostly been a "that guy", but now he's turning into "ohhhh THAT guy!", which is perhaps the highest achievement for a character actor. Most recently, he's had big turns in the t.v. shows "The Shield" and "Justified", and he's soon to be seen in Fox's PREDATORS. Slowly but surely, he's getting out there in bigger, cooler projects.
Goggins has just nabbed another plum role, this time in Jon Favreau's COWBOYS AND ALIENS. It's not been revealed just what role he'll be tackling, but my first guess would be someone shady, as is his forte. Still, being on a set with Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde (pictured below) must be so awesome, you probably wouldn't mind being typecast. Typecasting can be a character actor's best friend…
COWBOYS AND ALIENS opens in July 2011.
Walton set to be in Cowboys and Aliens!

After galvanizing the first season of the FX series Justified with a character that morphed from avowed enemy of Tim Olyphant's federal Marshall Raylan Givens, into a not entirely trustworthy wingman, Walton Goggins will spend his hiatus time shooting at extraterrestrials. He's joined the cast of the DreamWorks/Universal film Cowboys and Aliens, which shoots this summer with Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig starring. Goggins, who'll also be seen shortly in Fox's Predators, will then hopefully reprise his Boyd Crowder character, since Justified was renewed for a second season.
Timothy Olyphant says working with Walton is "Fantastic"
Justified's Timothy Olyphant spoke of Walton in a recent interview and here is what he had to say:
Do you enjoy working with Walton Goggins, who plays Boyd?
"He's fantastic. And he just gets better and better. The story between Boyd and Raylan really becomes the major story of the season. Walt's performance is just spot on and just so entertaining. I think it was Elmore who said after watching one or two of his episodes, 'You know what, I don't think I believe a word of what this guy's saying but I can't take my eyes off him'. You know, he's just so entertaining. A real captivating performance."

Getting 'Justified' With Brother Boyd
Audio Interviews Justified
[audio:https://walton-goggins.net/media/audio/May26th2010%20WBUR%20Interview.mp3]
One of actor Walton Goggins' earliest moments on stage came at a Georgia hog-calling competition when he was just 10 years old.
"I walked up onstage, and they had to adjust the mike for sure, and just leaned up on my tiptoes and just let out the biggest hog call that has ever been heard in my family, certainly," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "And I won — I got a big trophy with a large hog on top. I have it in my office."
Goggins says his days on the hog-calling circuit certainly helped propel him toward an acting career. Though he's played many characters over the years, he is perhaps best known for his roles on The Shield — where he played a member of a corrupt narcotics squad — and the current FX series Justified, where he plays a white supremacist turned born-again Christian named Boyd Crowder.
Crowder also happens to be a fugitive bank robber hiding in the hills of eastern Kentucky, and an old buddy of the county's newest U.S. marshal, played by Timothy Olyphant — who's now on the other side of the law.
Acquiring the long drawl he uses to portray the quick-witted Crowder, says Goggins, took quite a bit of time.
Guest stars who made big impressions
Articles Blurbs & Mentions Justified Press
And yet, reincarnation is exactly what happened to Goggins, whose bank-robbing Boyd went from shot dead at the end of the "Justified" pilot (which was also the conclusion of Elmore Leonard's original short story, which the show is based on), to a recovered thorn in Kentucky lawman Raylan Givens' side in the hit cable drama.
"We knew we had something special," says "Justified" showrunner Graham Yost about Goggins' casting. "Then FX said, 'Guys, what's coming out of testing is that people are disappointed when he dies, that they think he's a great foil for Raylan. Could we keep him alive?' We said, 'That's a no-brainer.' "
Goggins' magnetic villainy and ability to keep you guessing as to Boyd's motives gave the writers the ideal counterweight to Timothy Olyphant's good-guy cool. His work didn't just light up the screen, it inspired the writers.
"Not only do Raylan and Boyd have a history, but the fact that Raylan can see through Boyd, and Boyd knew that, led us into a new part of the story for us that wasn't in the Elmore short story," says Yost. "The big arc became Raylan and Boyd. As soon as we landed on it, it just opened up so many ideas for stories and gave a coherence to our first season."

J, my son, was 11.5, when I sent him to live with his dad. For years his dad had nagged and hammered me to send him, saying J would be better off with him. So when he was 11.5, the Lord said "Send him." I asked, 'what about You? Going to church? Any of that?' [knowing his dad was not a follower] The Lord said, "When he becomes a man, he will be a man of God."
J went thru some rough years, as all of us have. However, he is now a man and he is a man of God.
When he was about 7 or 8, my son wrote 2 songs. Actually, he wrote the lyrics and some people at the church we attended, Key to Life in Roseville, Ca [now Living Waters], put the words to music. The guy said, 'This is the best music I've written to date'.
J had the Kenneth Taylor Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes. [SOMEONE needs to get that printed again] He loved it. He loved the Bible stories and loved Jesus.
J is a leader. He's an evangelist. He knows the right thing to say to people and says it. He doesn't withhold his love from others and has a joy about him that is palpable. People are drawn to him because of the God-given abilities that enable him to be interested in others, gently probing to find out what their issues are, so he can pray for them and minister to their needs.
Because of his gift for leadership, he is able to bring others in to Jesus. He is enthusiastic about Jesus and will go out of his way to befriend someone who may not have many friends. J is always on the lookout for whom he can bring in to his home and feed, both with food and the gospel. He knows the value of meeting the needs of people with tangible things as well as spiritual things.
My son is generous with his love, friendship, time and money. He is happily married to a lovely woman who is equally devoted to Jesus.
Worrying has NEVER changed anything except the state of your health. Stop!

Barrow County's new commission chairman Danny Yearwood will propose cutting county employee hours to 37.5 per week and one unpaid furlough day per month in an effort to cut county spending during the economic downturn.
Yearwood announced his cost-cutting proposal to county employees at a meeting Wednesday morning. He said he plans to formally take the proposal to the full board of commissioners at the Jan. 13 BOC meeting. Commissioners Larry Joe Wilburn and Eva Elder also attended Wednesday's meeting.
The BOC will also be asked to whether to open county offices a half-hour later at 8:30 a.m., he said.
Yearwood appealed to county employees to approach this tough economic time as a team and to offer suggestions they have for how to cut costs or increase income.
He explained to the 150 employees gathered for the first of three staff meetings on Wednesday how the downturn in the nation's economy is affecting the county's financial picture. He said the county has $13.6 million in cash for operating expenses, but the total weekly expenses amount to $1.5 million. More than half of that cost is for salaries and benefits.
The total reserves, including undesignated cash and account payables, is about $6.7 million. The majority of the liquid reserves are in a $2.7 million certificate of deposit.
• Local Option sales tax collections that are used for operating expenses are expected to fall $1.7 million short of the budget.
• Special Purpose Local Sales Tax collections to pay for capital expenses were down 24% in December.
• Building permit revenues will be about $392,000 below budget.
• Interest income will be about $250,000 below budget.
• Delinquent property tax collections as of Jan. 5 were $1.9 million.
• Solid waste tipping fees will be about $350,000 below budget.
• Other revenue losses are expected to amount to more than $600,000.
Yearwood told the employees that the 9.8 percent cuts he is asking everyone to take would pay the salaries of 50 current employees.
While regretful for the employees and families, at least Chairman Yearwood is demonstrating leadership that has been sorely missing in Barrow County government. I hope the county employees will take a moment and provide Yearwood with a vote of confidence by expressing their understanding of the situation and how they will find even more ways to cut expenses and increase revenues.
Agree, Chairman Yearwood is very aware of the financial problems in the county financially. This plan is better than laying off any employees.

Chefs and consumers who enjoy the superior taste and eating experience of Angus beef appreciate that Meyer Natural Angus is a brand of all-natural beef with Angus genetics offering the consistent renowned taste and tenderness of the Angus breed. The goal at Meyer Natural Angus is to produce the highest-quality, most consistent all-natural beef available, embracing and satisfying the growing consumer demand for great tasting, humanely handled beef.
The USDA applies the term "natural" to foods which are minimally processed without artificial ingredients. This claim could apply to most beef sold in grocery stores. We insist the beef we source is raised without the use of added hormones or antibiotics on a vegetarian diet of grains and grasses.
The Meyer Natural Foods Humanely Handled Program includes the highest levels of integrity. Our program complies with both the USDA and the cattle industry's best practices for humane handling.
The cattle are never fed animal by-products.
For some brands, the color of an animal's hide is enough to constitute an Angus breed title. Meyer Natural Angus requires a validated genetic history to ensure that our Angus meets expectations for the breed's revered taste and tenderness.
Angus is valued for a superior eating experience, based on marbling and tenderness. We produce top-quality Red and Black Angus genetics.
Meyer Natural Angus offers the two top grades for beef. USDA Prime is the highest grade, based on marbling. That is why prime is the most flavorful and tender grade. USDA Choice is high-quality beef with a slightly lower level of marbling than USDA Prime.

This is a sudoku tutorial for a medium difficulty puzzle. It has less "given" easy solutions, so we have to use harder logic questions to figure out some of them. I'm sure I overlooked some easier ways to prove certain numbers, but it's good that you learn how the logic works for future difficulties. You should aim for about 10 minutes per game once you fully understand how to play. Have fun!

      <step>  Preheat oven to 350F. Remove peel from plantains and slice them lengthwise
  in half.  In a large saute pan, heat oil to medium hot and add plantains.
  Cook them until lightly browned on each side. Place them in a large baking
  dish and sprinkle sugar over all. Add cinnamon and cover with wine. Bake
  for 30 minutes, or until they take on a reddish hue.
