The iconic artwork Gerald Scarfe created for Pink Floyd's The Wall -- the original record, the 1982 film adaptation and the various times it's gone on tour -- were crucial towards driving home the brutality of the themes Roger Waters was writing about. Now, many of Scarfe's paintings from The Wall are being sold.
The sale is being handled by the San Francisco Art Exchange, with the works coming directly from his private collection. This includes The Scream, the painting of a screaming face against a blue background that served as the film's post, The Teacher, which was projected onstage during "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" and a sketch of The Gross Inflatable Pig that Waters used when he brought a star-studded production of the record to Germany in honor of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1990.
While nine of the 11 pieces range in size from 23.5" x 33" to 39.5" x 59", the largest of the bunch is the original storyboard for the movie, which is comprised of 50 panels and measures 39.5" x 98.5".
You can see everything that's available at the San Francisco Art Exchange's website, and you can request a catalog that contains more information on the paintings, including the prices. Unlike many other rock memorabilia that we've seen over the years, this not an auction, but a sale. The artwork, either as a collection or individually, will be sold to the "first buyer to agree to price and terms."
When Ultimate Classic Rock spoke with Waters in 2015, he told us how Scarfe's work on the film clued him into another layer of the story that even its creator didn't know existed. “His animations pointed us towards memories of the second World War and how difficult that was for people being bombed and those of us that lost family members like I did during that conflict,” Waters said.

I have this early memory, it seems to be the first memory of my childhood. However, I suspect it isn’t even accurate because I seem to be the age of three but I am sitting in my parent’s bedroom in a house we didn’t move into until I was five. Nevertheless, it exists in my brain for some reason – perhaps because of comments others have made or pictures I have seen or perhaps because of the memory’s symbolism, but most likely it is a combination of all those things and some portion of reality. Anyway, here is the memory that has made its home in my mind.
It’s a typical evening in my childhood home. The windows are open and a light summer breeze flows through the house. I’m trying to drown out the noise of shouting in the other room by softly humming to myself. I am three years old. I’m sitting at my mother’s vanity in my parents’ bedroom, running her brush through my pale blonde curls. The yelling draws nearer. My father bursts through the door. In a rage, he grabs the nearest item he can get his hands on, my mother’s black purse. Without hesitation, he hurls it across the room and it smashes the mirror before my innocent face. I don’t remember if I cried or what happened next, but that image of shattered glass and my broken reflection is a vivid picture in my mind. Again, I’m not even sure this ever occurred, but it symbolizes my lost innocence, which was taken far too soon.
Oh my heart hurts and bleeds for that little innocent girl. Have you ever asked about the mirror being broken, or are you perhaps afraid to know for sure?

Lent starts tomorrow. Tomorrow! Personally, I wish I had another couple of weeks to prepare. I just don’t feel like I’m ready to start the sacrificial season tomorrow. But ready or not, it really does start tomorrow.
The purple drapery is now hanging in the learning center, the Lenten books are out and the stations of cross box is ready.
I may not be ready, but the kids will get me there. That’s part of the beauty of raising kids in the Catholic Church, probably any religion. At least my kids get me there…they make me want to be a better Catholic, want to know more so I can pass it on to them. The best gift they’ve given me is a love for the Stations of the Cross. We have truly grown closer to Jesus while praying the stations. Whether we are at the Grotto or using the box or candles, we enjoy the time together and genuinely reflect on the Walk.
I have one child ready with his Lenten sacrifice, and I am so proud. It really is an amazing sacrifice on his part. Lance is ready as well. Snax and Baby Hulk aren’t quite there, so we may be giving up something for two weeks at a time.
As for me, I have my sacrifice narrowed down, personally, I’d love to keep it to myself but in this household it’s hard. I like the idea of a personal sacrifice, but it’s also nice to have some accountability among ourselves. I bought a new book that is a do it yourself retreat. Now to actually use it.
My hope for Lent is to grow, to unite in suffering and make some visible changes in my life. I’m looking for patience and humility. The kind of humility we saw when Pope Benedict informed the world he would be resigning. We’ve heard all the reports, there hasn’t been a pope resign in 600 years. To be the one that actually steps up and says, “I can’t lead the way I need to anymore” for the first time in 600 years, well, that’s big. I’m not going to pretend to know what the pope thinks, but really, how could he not think, “I can’t be the one to finally resign”.
But he did. And I respect that a lot. I’m anxious to teach the kids more about him and about the entire papacy. Right now though, I’m just thankful for his leadership. I’m offering prayers for him and for our cardinals as a new pope is elected. It will be a different Lent with one pope leaving and a new one elected. But I know what waits for me at the end of this season, and when I remember Easter morning, any sacrifice is worth it.

PTC Therapeutics, Inc. and CV Therapeutics, Inc. have announced that they have entered into an exclusive research collaboration and licensing arrangement for the development of orally bioavailable small molecules through the application of PTC's proprietary GEMS (Gene Expression Modulation by Small-Molecules) technology.
Pursuant to the collaboration, PTC and CV Therapeutics will jointly select five targets, including targets with the potential to raise HDL, through a collaborative process of determining the applicability of the GEMS technology to targets of interest.
Under the terms of the collaboration and license agreement, CV Therapeutics will make an initial payment to PTC of $10 million.
The initial payment consists of a cash upfront payment of $2 million and two loans for an aggregate of $8 million.
One of the loans is forgivable over the course of the research term provided the agreement remains in effect, and the other is convertible into PTC equity.
CV Therapeutics has the exclusive option to enter into one or more worldwide, exclusive licenses, on a target-by-target basis, for collaboration compounds it decides to take forward, and will be obligated to pay PTC royalties on worldwide net sales of products developed pursuant to the collaboration.
If CV Therapeutics licenses and commercializes a product based on each of the five selected targets during the term of the agreement, PTC could earn milestone payments of up to $335 million if all specified development, regulatory and commercial goals are achieved over the product life cycle.
PTC retains the option to co-fund research and development for increased royalties or co-promotion rights.
"We are very excited to start our collaboration with PTC, which we believe has the potential to deliver innovative oral treatments for well-validated targets in important areas of cardiovascular disease, such as dyslipidemia and diabetes," said Brent K. Blackburn, Ph.D., senior vice president, drug discovery and development of CV Therapeutics.
"This alliance complements our internal research efforts with PTC's proprietary GEMS technology that allows the potential development of small-molecule drugs to address challenging targets."
"We are extremely pleased to enter into this collaboration with CV Therapeutics," said Stuart Peltz, president and chief executive officer of PTC Therapeutics.
"This collaboration is part of our strategy of applying our GEMS technology to therapeutic areas outside of our core research areas through collaborators who bring disease-specific expertise."
"With CV Therapeutics, we have a collaborator with a significant presence and experience in molecular cardiology and drug development."

What am I talking about? You either don’t understand or disagree, you are normal I’m probably not.
Doctors say that minor illness from time to time is good to your health; we do lots of things during the day trying to stay alive or doing things that are good for health. Stop and think about this, you’ll know in fact this isn’t completely true.
To some of them intelligence, either acquired or gifted, is illness without symptoms in my opinion. Until the symptoms surfaced they wouldn’t know they have been carrying that illness all along. Because they don’t see symptoms (funny enough we dumb people see these symptoms clearly), and are not suffering from anything, they will not look for a cure. In some cases there are lots of so called friends, colleagues (those that pretend to be intelligent too) around these intelligent people dosing additional poisonous praises.
I don’t mind to be unfortunate as well, misfortune is blessing in disguise anyway!
As you can see my plan of swimming during lunch time wasn’t really working, the problem was serious headache. The headache is felt at the frontal part of my head and it was so severe that I had to stop before reaching the other end of the pool. This is something that I haven’t experienced before ever since I picked up running last year so I was quite scared. I experienced throbbing in my head before, possibly due to the heat when it was hot, when I run but never felt the pain I experienced in the pool. Last week the headache sustained for a few days after the swim.
This is called exertional headache which is quite common (once for one in a hundred people). One of the ways to avoid that is to monitor the heart rate to tell that intensity is getting too high. I can’t do that in the pool and I don’t feel the heat while swimming so I can’t tell if I was working too hard. Breathing is also said to be a possible cause and I have to admit that I have overestimated my ability and certainly breathing with my strokes wasn’t quite the same as in running.
I’m not giving up so I tested my body again this morning by walking/running for nearly 4k. I have a cup of water and banana before the run and brought with me a bottle of water making sure I’m hydrated. I ran only 5~7 minutes and listened carefully to the build up of headache.

This is my beautiful deaf girl, Rudi. She and I are inseparable as I first met her where I volunteer at a local shelter the Lucas County Canine Care & Control. She was there for approximately 3 months and kept getting overlooked because she had “special needs -DEAF” on her adoption profile. I just couldn’t understand why no one was adopting her because I treasured the time I spent with her at the shelter. It was a big decision because we already had four dogs at home and adopting her would be our fifth dog. I just knew how special she is and I just had to have her. So, I adopted her.
Training her was actually pretty easy as I learned some techniques from a local trainer at our shelter and also online through YouTube videos and deafdogsrock.com. Learning and using American Sign Language (ASL), I was able to teach her commands and she picked up on her signs so fast. She is always looking at me for direction and signs.
Rudi and I have this special bond that is very unique and she looks to me to communicate with her. She wiggles with happiness when we are able to communicate with each other. Her nickname is the wiggler as she is literally the happiest dog I have ever met.
I decided to enroll her in Canine Good Citizen training classes also know as CGC classes. I was hoping that she would pass her CGC Test because I wanted to take her to libraries and schools to help kids read to her. Rudi ended up passing her CGC test with flying colors. Our trainer was so impressed with her attentiveness toward me and how quickly she learned.
Rudi and I love to give back to our community through volunteering for reading programs. We go to two different libraries and this year we are going to take her to an elementary school to interact with the children in the kindergarten classes. The kids just love her and seem to relax around her. The minute they meet Rudi they flock to her and she feels the same excitement when meeting each child for the first time. As soon as we pull into the library parking lot, she will smile and wiggle her entire body with excitement. I can honestly say Rudi loves children.
We don’t have any children of our own, but feel that this is a great way to interact with them and read stories with them. Rudi and I also demonstrate and teach the kids some American Sign Language sign commands that they can practice on Rudi. The excitement seen on the their faces when she responds to their ASL sign commands is absolutely priceless.
The kids know that Rudi can’t hear, but they still love reading to her. I can see their reading skills improving and Rudi has helped the shy kids read out loud without being so nervous. Rudi and I taking our time to give back to our community through the library and school reading programs has been an extremely rewarding experience for us. We have been participating in the reading programs for abut 3 years now and I intend on doing this for as long as Rudi enjoys her time with the kids.
I love this sweet deaf girl with all of my heart and am so glad that I adopted her. I knew that there was something special about her. Thanks for taking the time to read our story!

Christmas is only 7 weeks away and now is the time to start planning for gifts, travel plans and events.
According to a survey from Pocketbook, Australians tend to spend around 30% of their income on discretionary spending (non-bills) in the year, but around Christmas that doubles – meaning we spend around 60% of our income on gifts, food, travel and more around this time of year.
Ditch the coffee! We love coffee but in the weeks before Christmas consider cutting back on the takeaway coffee. With the average flat white costing $4.25, that can be quite a saving each week!
Bring a packed lunch to work. This can seem a little boring but for a short time before Christmas it can save you average of $8-15 per day, which can add up quickly.
Change the way you shop for groceries. Mix things up and try shopping at your local market or try Aldi as it is significantly cheaper than IGA or Coles due to their reduced overheads.
Check to see if you can get cashback on any of your purchases in the run up to Christmas, have a look online and compare some of the current deals available.
Limit spending on evenings out (temporarily!). Save some of the money you would spend going for drinks or dinner at the weekend and enjoy meeting friends in the park, going to the beach or a quiet night with Netflix. This will allow you to enjoy more in the festive season!
We hope you found these tips useful and find Anne Street Partners on LinkedIn for more news and advice in the right up to Christmas!
The Melbourne Cup is over and that signals the start of the build up to Christmas! It is still a while off yet, but it is always good to think ahead and wise to start planning.
At Anne Street Partners we absolutely love Christmas and get excited at the thought of sunshine, barbeques, shopping and presents!

With the advent of spring, there is no better time to have a spring clean – and not just your life but your finances! It is a great time of year to go through your current financial situation and make some positive changes.
1.Go through your current credit card statements and assess how you are using your credit card each month. It may be that you could get a better deal by switching to a 0% card – there are often many deals which include balance transfers.
2. Download a budgeting app for your smartphone! These are great for working out budgets, reviewing your current spending habits and planning savings. Here are our favourite budgeting apps of 2015.
3. Open a new savings account. It can be very motivating to open a new savings account to start planning for the future. Whether you want to save for a holiday or upcoming wedding, it is always worth putting something in a savings account for a rainy day.
4. Organise all of your financial paperwork and put all your paper statements into folders. It is much easier to assess your financial set up when seeing it all in front of you.
5. Shred any old statements, records, bills and letters. Often we hold onto bills from 2008 for no reason! Only keep what you need.
6. If you have been putting off paying a bill or opening a statement make a point of facing it and dealing with it. You feel better once you confront any debts and face them head on! Making a payment plan is easy and enables you to plan your budgets more easily.
7. Go through all of your standing orders and direct debits. Ensure that they are all up to date and you are not paying for something you are no longer using. Cancel any that are unwanted or invalid.
8. Whilst spring cleaning your home, put any unwanted items in boxes to sell on eBay – you can reorganise your home and make some money at the same time!
9. If you have been considering a new investment, take some time to do some research and evaluation. Once you have organised your budget and spending, it is prudent to think about the future and learn about new investment opportunities.
10. Speak to a financial planner such as Anne Street Partners who can help you work out a budget, streamline your finances and give guideance on investments and retirement funds.
We are proud supporters of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award which is the world’s leading youth development Award, empowering young Australians to achieve their personal best and do things they never thought possible!
It is available to all 14–25 year olds, regardless of their background and is comprised of three levels each progressively more challenging. Each level includes a Service, Skill, Physical Recreation and Adventurous Journey, allowing young people to learn, develop and build a range of diverse skills among their peers. Anne Street Partners believe the award is so beneficial for so many young people across Australia and we wanted to share some recent positive news!
Duke of Ed Victoria has been invited to join a Sector Reference Group advising the Minister for Youth Affairs Jenny Mikakos on an exciting new youth policy.
Victorian CEO, Anoushka Gungadin, will be representing The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award in the Sector Reference Group. The development of this new policy is aimed at improving government support for young Victorians and improving the outcomes for young people, especially those who are disadvantaged and disengaged.
A main priority of the framework’s development is getting young people’s feedback to ensure that the services the Victorian Government provides are relevant and give them the opportunity to stay at school, get a job and be connected with their community.
Young people are invited to join the conversation by visiting www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au to participate in an easy online survey where they can let the government know their needs.

Though some sly and adventurous souls managed to accomplish the feat during the carefree days before 9/11, our colleague Christine Gasparac recently got an official tour that took her to one of San Francisco's most spectacular and exclusive locations: the tippy-top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
First, they transport you in a little jitney along the bridge's pedestrian walkway to the Tower. You duck into a little secret door that leads to an elevator that was designed for the bridge tower in 1937. It's a tiny, rickety old caged elevator that is hand-operated, holds no more than 3 (relatively thin) people and moves so slowly that it takes almost 5 minutes to reach the top (the top of the tower is 759 feet above the water). Then you climb about 20 feet to a submarine-style iron-rung ladder and out a hatch that pops open onto the top of the highest crossbar of the tower.
When we were up there, there was almost no wind. And you're so high up that you can't even hear the traffic below.
We seethed with jealousy when Christine first told us of her planned visit, but we pleaded with her to at least bring a camera, and she duly complied. Providentially, the weather was spectacular, and her photos are amazing. See you at the summit.

From 8 to 12 February, a delegation of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, led by Cardinal Prefect Peter K.A. Turkson, will go to Calcutta, India, to take part in the solemn celebrations of the 27th World Day of the Sick, traditionally held on February 11, memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, and which takes place simultaneously in all dioceses worldwide. The universal Church, following the example of the Good Samaritan, stoops to the sick and suffering to bring a message of hope and salvation, according to the statement announcing the visit by the dicastery on February 6, 2019.
In a country affected by great inequality, extreme poverty, and in many cases extremely precarious hygiene and sanitation conditions, the Church intends in this way to manifest her closeness to the sick, the suffering, the poor and the excluded, in the light of the experience of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, recognized as a Saint on September 4, 2016.
Along with the delegation, the following will be present in loco: Cardinal Patrick D’Rozario, C.S.C., archbishop of Dhaka and special envoy of the Pope for the celebration; Archbishop Thomas D’Souza of Calcutta; and Archbishop Prakash Mallavarapu of Visakhapatnam, president of the Commission for Health of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India.
On the first day, the delegation will participate in a study conference dedicated to the theological foundations of health pastoral care, the New Charter for Healthcare Workers and the new frontiers of service to the marginalized poor, and will then visit the tomb of Mother Teresa at the Mother House, where the archbishop of Calcutta, Archbishop D’Souza will preside at Holy Mass.
On February 11, at the Basilica of the Holy Rosary in Bandel, the solemn celebrations for the 27th World Day of the Sick will take place. Cardinal Patrick D’Rozario will preside at Holy Mass, which will be followed by the anointment of the sick.

The statistics shows how teenagers chose which books to read in Italy in 2016. As of the survey period, about 25 percent of the respondents found the books to read walking around alone in bookstores, while nine percent of the respondents chose books based on movies or videogames.
This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Come scegli i libri che leggi?"


text: I quite liked this. Sure, I’m a fan of Guillermo del Toro’s work, but I’ve found myself being less into horror movies of late, and so this wasn’t something that was particularly high on my list of things I wanted to watch. But this felt more like a ghost story than pure horror – sure it gets creepy, and a bit gory at times, but I found myself really drawn into the story and the general atmosphere of the film.

Any man who wears pants owns at least one belt. But belts for men cannot be summarized as just a snaky piece of leather (or faux for that matter) used for cinching cloth. It does much more than just holding your pants in place and makes for an indispensable and integral part of a man’s attire.
If you have pants with belt loops, you must wear a belt, otherwise such pants look incomplete and devoid of character.
If you are tucking in your shirts, especially with a suit, jacket, or blazer, you must wear a belt.
Formal belts for men are usually subtle. Always opt for solid colours like black, tan, brown, etc. and understated patterns.
Always match your leathers (shoes and belts) and metals (cufflinks and belt buckle). For instance, if you are wearing tan shoes, opt for a tan belt. And if your belt buckle is golden or brass tone, then your cufflinks or other accessories (like bracelets, etc.) should be of the same tone.
Explore our finest collection of leather belts for men, and find your perfect trio.
While you can always opt for a simple, solid brown belt, this particular one with visible stitches adds an edge to the belt. The traditional dark brown colour works best with trousers in beige, biscuit, or fawn.
The classic black belt gets a modern makeover with a patterned surface on the exterior. Pair it with anything except brown pants.
This formal belt in dark tan adds a rich look to your formal attire for business meetings, special events, or party occasions. Pair it with beige, cream, white, or navy trousers or suits.
As trivial it might look, the right kind of belt, paired with the right attire can do wonders to your overall presence, image, vibes, or anything that you need to make an impression. It brings your entire outfit together and adds character to your clothes.

Over the past couple of years NCO and The Gardens Project has become a clearing house for food issues - and as a result of that we have come to meet some really great farmers, gardeners, food movers, food enthusiasts, and in general, some really inspirational people. Right here in Mendocino County. The local food movement in Mendocino County is strong and you all are doing some crazily innovative things here, and we really think that it needs to be documented- which is why we're so excited about being made a community partner with StoryCorps, a non-profit that documents peoples stories.
StoryCorps' mobile unit is in Ukiah until May 21st, and will be collecting peoples stories in their funky airstream trailer parked at Clay and School street (right across the street from the Farmers' Market - need I say more??) We have two slots left and we're looking to fill them up with people who are working to create a local food economy - which (in our opinion) includes pretty broad spectrum of people. If you are someone (or know someone!) who gardens in a community garden, a farmer, a pre-school teacher who incorporates food from the garden into the classroom, someone who advocates for healthy foods, someone who is donating land for a farm or garden, or someone who has a story to tell about food then contact us!
If you're interested in learning more about StoryCorps or want to book an appointment with them, contact them here.

Our second annual dinner, Sharing The Bounty, was a fabulous event! Even though we moved offices and had no phones during the week leading up to the event, we surprised ourselves by selling out for the second year in a row - Patrona was filled to a max with 70 people in attendance.
The evening started with some lovely bluegrass music provided by the Stormy Weathermen, and appetizers of beet sliders and uni risotto balls. After a creamy ambrosial stinging nettle soup was served. The main course followed consisting of a choice of red snapper with carrot ragout, or a delicious baked kale and seaweed pie. Is your mouth watering yet??
One of most unique aspects of this event is that all the food is made of local food, directly from our county. To make this dinner possible was a true community effort - without the farmers who donated their hard labor, without the staff at Patrona who donated their time, without the guidance of Craig and Bridget, and without community members who support community gardens none of this would be possible. So, thank you. Your efforts resulted in raising $10,000 for the development of school and community gardens!
Farms who donated: Lovers Lane Farm, Petit Teton, Shamrock Artisan Goat Cheese, Green Uprising at Blackberry Farm, Stella Cadente, Campovida, Ukiah High School, Willits High, Mendocino Grain Project, Brookside Farm, Mendocino Lavender and Herbs, Little Lake Grange Grains, and the WISC community garden.
Wineries who donated: Trinafour, Jeriko Estate, Arnaud Weyrich, Nelson Family Vineyards, Barra of Mendocino, Husch Vineyards, Solomon Tournour Distillery.
Don't pay for a bunch of soil, grow soil! Don't pay for a bunch of water, save water! Urban agriculture has no excuse not to grow food because of the latest techniques used to create garden beds. At the Willits Integrated Service Center straw bales are the way to reclaim the land, provide an amazing example of urban gardening and produce food for community.
The theory is very simple. If there is space that has no soil, in our case the middle of our court yard, it is better to grow soil rather than paying a lot of money to bring soil in. The straw bales become raised garden beds that can be used to grow anything but a root vegetable. The bales will break down into a berm of soil as beautiful as a compost pile in two to three years. The Nutrients the plants need will come from a 1" layer of potting soil and other specific inputs put on top of the bale. The bale itself acts as a rooting medium that will hold moisture and uptake applied nutrients. The result is an instant raised two foot raised garden bed for less than $10!
First, purchase or get donated straw bales that are as seed free as possible. Our 25 bales of straw were donated from J.D. Redhouse, the local feed store.
2. The bales have been induced with a high nitrogen organic fertilizer, in this case, chicken and sea bird manure and water from a soaker hose. Within one week the bales had reached a temperature of 70 degrees. The bales will heat up for about 1 month and get very heavy with water and reach temperatures of 140 degrees.
3. The bales will be given the specific type of input they need for the plants they are growing before they are planted in.
4. The 1" layer of potting soil on the top is not necessary but is suggested if direct seeding.
5. Plant the plants on top of the bales by digging a small hole in the soft top side of the bale.
6. Water the bales once a day at first and then as the plants are more established, watering can be cut back to once every two days or sometimes once three days depending on the weather. We will use a drip system, donated from Drip Works, that will apply the water exactly where it needs to go.
7. Harvest the food when it is ready.
We will repeat steps 5, 6, and 7, until the bales have turned to berms that create food for the people.
Last Saturday was a celebration of Ukiah's efforts to become a more self reliant community. We hope that everyone who came out had a blast, enjoyed lots of good food, met some new people, and got a different preservative on whats being grown in our community spaces of Mendocino County.
In case you missed it some highlights include: Jack Simpson gardener Oliver Schearer dazzling us with his vibraphone skills. Cleveland Lane gardeners showing us what a mini Ukiahn-Michoacan would look like. Washington Ave. gardeners celebrating their successful first season with Ensalda de Nopalitos. April Cunnighman from Head Start showing off school garden curriculum. Grace Lutheran gardeners sharing their favorite recipes.
Thank you again to all of our supporters: Tierra-Art,Garden, and wine for the use of their space. Ukiah Brewing Company, Patrona Resteraunt and Lounge, and The Ukiah Valley Medical Center for chef time of Molly Vogel, Phil and Craig, and Jim Stuart. Together we Can! for providing us with volunteers. Mara Montiel, Sid Cooperrider, and Will Siegel and friends for providing music, and of course all of our wine donors - Rivino Wines, Frey Vineyards, and Raye's Hill vineyard.
Thank you all for your support - we hope to see you again next year.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first ever fundraiser dinner, "Sharing The Bounty" last night. Together you helped The Gardens Project raise just a little over $9,500 dollars!
The evening started out with violin music by Mary Carnevale and Holly Fagen as well as appetizers which included green garlic crostini and tulip petals with chive cheese. Who knew you could eat tulip petals?! Then came a mixed green salad with Miner's lettuce wrap (we will never look at Miner's lettuce as a weed again..) where Mendocino Organics generously donated fresh baby chard and kale, and Green Uprising Farm at Blackberry Bend Farm donated baby salad greens. The main entree was lamb from Magruder Ranch in Potter Valley, or amaranth wrapped with chard from Nokomis and South Ukiah head start. The evening ended with a Meyer lemon curd made from Lemons from Dave's back yard, as well as Douglas Fir ice cream.
To say the least - we had a blast, and we hope you did too. The wine was great, the food was beautiful and tasty, and the company was the best!
Thank you to the staff at Patrona as well as Craig and Bridgette. Many of the staff donated their time to help with this event and Craig and Bridgette donated the space, their energy, and their time to make this event happen.
A huge thank you to Trinafour Cellars, Magnanimous Wine Group, Husch Vineyards, and Paul Dolan who supported us by donating wine. Thank you to Mendocino Organics, Green Uprising and Blackberry Bend Farm, Magruder Grass Feed Meats, Dave from Dave's bike shop, and Huckleberry Hollow Gardens who donated or contributed food for the meal.
And finally, we want to note that the a lot of the food for this event was grown locally in our community gardens! All the chard was from South Ukiah and Nokomis Head Starts, as well as the parsley and chives. About half of the green garlic came from Jack Simpson, the thinning vegetables came from Grace Lutheran, and the Kale came from Talmage.
And thank you again to everyone who is working to make Mendocino County a more healthy and self-reliant community.
Ten Mighty Mujeres turned up to lend a hand at Saturday's ¡Spring Garden Blitz! at the Head Start Family Garden. Head Start moms and their little ones, ladies of the Food Forest and a crew of girls and a mom from Fort Bragg 4H spent the afternoon making a new bed, building shelves in the toolshed, weeding, planting, turning compost, mulching and more!
Our desired outcomes for the summit were to 1) build the network community by getting to know each other and the gardens, 2) build confidence as a garden organizer and ownership of the coordinator position, and 3) assess needs of individuals and the network and to connect with resources.
The Gardens Project offered skill building sessions on organizing a work-party and connecting to resources, but the most exciting part of the day was the sharing that took place between the garden coordinators throughout the morning and over lunch. These coordinators are not often able to interact with each other, so the reassurance that there are others in the County with whom to learn, share, brainstorm, and grow was invaluable.
Creating a space for community members to empower each other is vital to The Gardens Project mission, and this summit proved how hungry we all are to work together, with revolutionary zeal, towards a healthier food system in Mendocino County.
There will be more events like this in the future, as the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive.
The Noyo Food Forest entertained about 300 guests at the Black Tie Boogie, held at the Redwood Coast Senior Center on February 13th. The Senior Center was transformed into a red, black and silver classy dining room and adjacent jazz lounge, complete with a kids activity room and silent auction. The event had something for everyone and truly brought together people from different generations and pockets of the community.
The Senior Center served 180 meals that featured locally grown and organic food. Everyone was dressed to the nines and enjoyed a beautiful meal by the Senior Center’s Chef and yummy desserts provided by the Montessori del Mar Learning Center.
In the other room the Richard Cooper Trio and Lavender Grace entertained the crowd that mingled at the bar and relaxed at the cocktail tables while sipping local wine and beer. The silent auction was a hit with exciting items generously donated by local businesses and community members. The kids had a great time with activities provided by Sue Magoo and Jenny, Too of the Mendocino Coast Children’s Discovery Mooseum.
Later in the evening the jazz ended and DJ Selector Science played as people young and old boogied down on the dance floor. There was even a special performance by three superstar hula hoopers!
The Food Forest would like to thank everyone who helped make his event possible! We are so grateful for all of our WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS and all the SUPPORT from our GENEROUS COMMUNITY!
Save the date for the Noyo Food Forest’s next fabulous and fun FREE fundraising festival….
at the Learning Garden at Fort Bragg High School.
Live music, food, pedal-powered smoothies, workshops, interactive community art, kids activities and performances, and more!!! For more info or to get involved please contact the NFF office at 964-0218.

New work from J.D. Salinger? It’s true, family confirms.
Salinger's son confirms his father continued to write after publishing his last story in 1965 – and that these works will eventually be released to the public.
A portrait of J.D. Salinger. Art: Natata/Shutterstock.
After receiving incredible success with The Catcher in the Rye in 1951 – still required reading for any high school English curriculum – and publishing three other books, including Nine Stories and Franny and Zooey, author J.D. Salinger’s publishing career came to a screeching halt in the mid-60’s. “Hapworth 16, 1924,” a short story published in The New Yorker in 1965, was the last work the author published in his lifetime. Salinger died in 2010, leaving questions as to what would happen to any remaining unpublished work – if there was any remaining work at all.
But according to his son Matt Salinger, the author never stopped writing – and generated “a lot of material” over the years, he told The Guardian recently in an exclusive interview.
“All of what he wrote will at some point be shared,” Matt Salinger said, but confirmed that the process will take a good amount of time. “This was somebody who was writing for 50 years without publishing, so that’s a lot of material. So there’s not a reluctance or a protectiveness: when it’s ready, we’re going to share it,” he confirmed.
Matt Salinger shares custody of the literary estate with Salinger’s widow, Colleen O’Neill. The two are hard at work gathering the material for publication, which they hope will be ready for release within a decade. “Your readers should know that we’re going as fast as we freaking can,” Salinger’s son said. “I feel the pressure to get this done, more than he did.” Work on compiling the estate began in 2011, a year after the author’s death.
Don’t expect to see a Catcher sequel, however: Matt Salinger says rumors of any new work starring Holden Caulfield is “total trash.” In fact, the writing we do see may be very different than the Salinger many of us grew up reading. “It becomes clear that he was after different game,” he said of his father’s later work.
It “will definitely disappoint people that he wouldn’t care about, but for real readers … I think it will be tremendously well received by those people and they will be affected in the way every reader hopes to be affected when they open a book. Not changed, necessarily, but something rubs off that can lead to change,” Matt Salinger said.
and Danny Strong, writer and director of Rebel in the Rye, a film about the life of novelist J.D. Salinger that stars Nicholas Holt and Kevin Spacey.

In this article we introduce a new feature into the example application that was built in the last article “Using SQLite in your IOS applications part II” that will allow us to explore different data types found in SQLite. A photo of the contact will be added to the database.
the first step is to add a UIimageView to the AddContactViewController, ViewContactViewController, and the UpdateContactViewController panes in the storyboard.
Add a new section and change the title to “Photo”.
Once you have modified the storyboards, we need to hook up the UIImageView to a property within each controllers class object.
After adding the property, remember to connect the IBOutlet for each photo property to their UIImageViews on the storyboard. When that is done, compile the code to fix and build errors or warnings, and we are done here.
For this sample, we introduce a new data type into the schema. The new database scheme introduces a new SQL data types supported by SQLite, the blob. Blobs are primarily used for storing binary data, like photos and short videos, audio, etc.. Basically, a blob can hold any piece of data that cannot be represented by any of the other SQL data types supported by SQL. For this sample we are using a blob to story a PNG image of a contact.
If you have decided to try and modify the code from the previous sample, you will need to alter the database instead of creating a new one. To do this, we need to add code to the SQLiteManager class to alter the Contacts table to include the Blob for the photo.
// if the path does not exist, then we need to initialize the database.
// check to see if we have attempted to upgrade the database before.
// we only want to run the ALTER command once after an upgrade.
// the file exists, so all we need to do is alter the existing table.
// the database file does not exist, so we need to create one.
// any error message that sent back from sqlite when creating the database will go here.
All we do here is add a new Blob to the end of the table record. Which brings up an important point. It is safer to Add new records to a table, but deleting columns can be problematic with the underlying flat file system used to store the physical database on the file space in your device. So be careful when modifying your tables.
The next step is to modify the Person object to include a UIImage to hold the photo retrieved from the database. Each of the categories that were implemented are affected and need to be changed to accommodate the photo column retrieved in each SQL query.
In the person.h header file, add a property for the photo, and declare the overloaded setter selector for the photo property.
In the person.m file we add the implementation for the setPhoto selector.
With these changes the person object can now track the photo of the contact in the database. Now we need to look at the categories that are affected by the changed database schema.
In the last article, we used a SQL string to insert records into the database. This time we use sqlite3_bind functions to bind the parameters in the prepared statement that is ready to execute. The process is really very simple. The column data is filled in left to right, each column is identified numerically.
With simple data types like integers and floating point numbers, the binding is straight forward. Like strings, we need to label the blob data as SQLITE_TRANSIENT to signal the database engine on how to treat the memory we are passing to it. When inserting large pictures, these transactions can take time. this is a good candidate for a background thread or something to be scheduled as a background task on the run loop.
// here we build a string for the complete SQL query and values to insert.
// now we store the image into the database as a PNG for better compression.
// successful insertion into the database, now create the person object.
The modifications to the read persons category are pretty easy. We have to modify the SQL SELECT statement to include the photo.
then we process the bytes retrieved from the query results and put them into a UIImage for local storage.
// We need two parameters to get the BLOB data. the actual blob and the length in bytes.
Writing the photo out is just as easy. We need to get the photo represented in a byte sequence for storage in a blob. To do this on IOS we need to get access to the raw bytes stored within the UIImage. The IOS SDK provides a pair of functions UIIMagePNGRepresentation() and UIImageJPEGRepresentation(). These functions return a NSData Object that will have a pointer to either the Jpeg or PNG representation of the UIImage. From there we can use the NSData object to get access to the raw bytes and the length in bytes of the image.
First we modify the prepared statement.
Bind the image to the blob. Make sure to label the memory properly so the database engine knows how to handle it properly, there is no automatic garbage collection here.
Once you have bound the image to the SQL prepared statement, you can execute it. This can be time consuming, so like the AddNewPerson category, this is a good candidate for background processing.
the only thing left to do is implement the UIImagePickerController. This class is used to select photos, take video, or use the camera to take snapshots, which is what we are going to do here. Implementing this controller we step outside the storybook code and implement this controller manually.
To implement the control we need to implement the protocols from the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate, and the UIActionSheetDelegate to present a simple choice dialog.
We also add a new selector takePhoto. In this method we implement the action sheet that we use to let the user select what kind of photo to take.
The result of the action sheet is used to configure the UIImagePickerController.
Once we have configured the UIImagePickerController the UIActionSheetDelegate launches the view. Once the view has loaded, you will be able to take a picture. The slideshow gallery demonstrates the application flow.
Once you have picked a photo or canceled, the UIImagePickerController will signal one of protocols that it defines. Pretty simple really, there are two protocol methods to implement, one for success, the other for canceling.
implementing the UIImagePickerController is really not too difficult. Once you have the code hooked up, we need a way to call the action sheet. For this example, the selecting of a table cell is used to invoke the action sheet.
// make sure we only invoke the UIImagePickerController on the photo table view cell.
// present the action sheet that offers the user the choices for photos.
dialog = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@""
// show the action dialog on top of the photo.
And that’s it. Using blobs in your SQLite database is really quite easy, almost as easy as handling string data.

“You two are so awkward sometimes,” says a new girl, blonde, across from me. She’s looking from me to the guy I’m sitting next to. He looks up from his macaroni and I realize he’s just moving things around on his plate. He hasn’t taken a bite, despite how busy he looks. He looks at me and I look at him, then we both look back at the blonde girl.
“Did something happen that we should know about?” she asks.
He’s my boyfriend. I know by the way they’re treating us. He suddenly smiles at me with his brilliantly white teeth and reaches to put an arm around my shoulders.
“We’re all good,” he says, squeezing my arm. I automatically stiffen, but when I see the six sets of eyes on my face, I lean in and play along. It’s frightening not knowing who you are – even more frightening thinking you’ll get it wrong. I’m scared now, really scared. It’s gone too far. If I say something now I’ll look…crazy. His affection seems to make everyone relax. Everyone except…him. They go back to talking, but all the words blend together: football, a party, more football. The guy sitting next to me laughs and joins in with their conversation, his arm never straying from my shoulders. They call him Silas. They call me Charlie. The dark-haired girl with the big eyes is Annika. I forget everyone else’s names in the noise.
Lunch is finally over and we all get up. I walk next to Silas, or rather he walks next to me. I have no idea where I’m going. Annika flanks my free side, winding her arms through mine and chatting about cheerleading practice. She’s making me feel claustrophobic. When we reach an annex in the hallway, I lean over and speak to her so only she can hear. “Can you walk me to my next class?” Her face becomes serious. She breaks away to say something to her boyfriend, and then our arms are looped again.
“Okay,” he says. He looks relieved. “I’ll see you…later.” He heads off in the opposite direction.
She stops outside a doorway.
“This is me…” I say, to see if she’ll protest. She doesn’t.
I nod. When she disappears into the sea of faces, I step into the classroom. I don’t know where to sit, so I wander to the back row and slide into a seat by the window. I’m early, so I open my backpack. There’s a wallet wedged between a couple of notebooks and a makeup bag. I pull it out and flip it open to reveal a driver’s license with a picture of a beaming, dark haired girl. Me.
I’m seventeen. My birthday is March twenty-first. I live in Louisiana. I study the picture in the top left corner and I don’t recognize the face. It’s my face, but I’ve never seen it. I’m…pretty. I only have twenty-eight dollars.
The seats are filling up. The one beside me stays empty, almost like everyone is too afraid to sit there. I’m in Spanish class. The teacher is pretty and young; her name is Mrs. Cardona. She doesn’t look at me like she hates me, like so many other people are looking at me. We start with tenses.
Five minutes into class the door opens. Silas walks in, his eyes downcast. I think he’s here to tell me something, or to bring me something. I brace myself, ready to pretend, but Mrs. Cardona comments jokingly about his lateness. He takes the only available seat next to me and stares straight ahead. I stare at him. I don’t stop staring at him until finally, he turns his head to look at me. A line of sweat rolls down the side of his face.
It’s been almost three hours, and my mind is still in a haze.
No, not a haze. Not even a dense fog. It feels as if I’m wandering around in a pitch-black room, searching for the light switch.
“You okay?” Charlie asks. I’ve been staring at her for several seconds, attempting to regain some semblance of familiarity from a face that should apparently be the most familiar to me.
She looks down at her desk and her thick, black hair falls between us like blinders. I want a better look at her. I need something to grab me, something familiar. I want to predict a birthmark or a freckle on her before I see it, because I need something recognizable. I’ll grasp at any piece of her that might convince me I’m not losing my mind.
She reaches her hand up, finally, and tucks her hair behind her ear. She looks up at me through two wide and completely unfamiliar eyes. The crease between her brows deepens and she begins biting at the pad of her thumb.
She’s worried about me. About us, maybe.
I want to ask her if she knows what might have happened to me, but I don’t want to scare her. How do I explain that I don’t know her? How do I explain this to anyone? I’ve spent the last three hours trying to act natural. At first I was convinced I must have used some kind of illegal substance that caused me to black out, but this is different from blacking out. This is different from being high or drunk, and I have no idea how I even know that. I don’t remember anything beyond three hours ago.
I grip the sleeve of my shirt and wipe the sheen of moisture off my forehead. When she glances back up at me, I see the concern still filling her eyes. I force my lips to form a smile.
As soon as I say it, I cringe. I have no idea what kind of night I had, and if this girl sitting across from me really is my girlfriend, then a sentence like that probably isn’t very reassuring.
“Silas.” The voice comes from the front of the room. I look up. “No talking,” the teacher says. She returns to her instruction, not too concerned with my reaction to being singled out. I glance back at Charlie, briefly, and then immediately stare down at my desk. My fingers trace over names carved into the wood. Charlie is still staring at me, but I don’t look at her. I flip my hand over, and I run two fingers over the callouses across the inside of my palm.

DUBAI/DOHA: The refinancing of a $1 billion loan by Doha Festival City, a retail and hospitality complex in Qatar, has been indefinitely postponed as a diplomatic crisis deters regional banks from doing new Qatari business, bankers said.
The refinancing, coordinated by Doha-based investment bank QInvest, was marketed earlier this year to both Qatari and regional banks, including institutions in the United Arab Emirates. It was to have been larger in size than the original loan - perhaps around $1.2 billion, bankers said.
But Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain cut diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar on June 5, accusing it of supporting terrorism, and the proposed deal has been put on hold, the sources said.
Two Qatari bankers involved in the deal told Reuters that the diplomatic crisis was the main reason for the deal being postponed, as it had reduced banks' appetite for the transaction. The sanctions against Qatar meant non-Qatari banks would not participate, a senior banker in Doha said.
"Originally, the refinancing included some of the original lenders plus big banks from the UAE. Now it is not clear that the deal is going to happen," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity as the matter is private.
"After the sanctions, the deal became more and more unlikely - politics didn't improve things."
Another banker said Qatari banks looked at the refinancing when market interest rates were lower, but they were no longer keen on it now the crisis had tightened liquidity in the local market. The three-month Qatar interbank offered rate has jumped more than 50 basis points since early June.
"Now it's definitely not a priority. Banks, and their shareholders, have other things to worry about," the second banker said.
The boycotting countries' central banks have stopped short of explicitly asking commercial banks under their jurisdiction to stop lending to Qatar. But unofficial guidance by their governments has caused most regional banks to freeze new loan transactions for Qatari borrowers since last month.
Doha Festival City, which includes the world's biggest store under the brand name of French retailer Monoprix, is owned and developed by Bawabat Al-Shamal Real Estate Co, a joint venture comprising Dubai-based Al-Futtaim Real Estate Services, Qatar Islamic Bank, Aqar Real Estate Investment Co and a private Qatari investor.
It raised some 3.7 billion Qatari riyals ($1.02 billion)in 2012 through a 10-year syndicated loan to finance development of the project, which had an estimated total cost of around 6 billion riyals.
That loan, comprising conventional and Islamic tranches, was led by QInvest with Commercial Bank of Qatar and Barwa Bank as mandated lead arrangers. Ahli Bank, Doha Bank, International Bank of Qatar, Al Khaliji Commercial Bank, Qatar International Islamic Bank and Qatar National Bank also participated.
Doha Festival City's shopping mall opened last April after a months-long delay which the owners attributed to issues with supporting infrastructure. Many of the mall's stores have not yet opened to the public.
Mall and hotel owners in Qatar have expressed concern about a dwindling customer base after government bodies fired thousands of expatriates in recent years amid declining global oil and gas prices.
The sanctions against Qatar could worsen that situation, although because of Doha's huge financial reserves, analysts do not expect an economic crisis.

Home » Browse » Newspapers » U.S. Newspapers » Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Pittsburgh, PA) » Article details, "Capturing a Moment Pittsburgh Native Joan..."
Joan Marcus doesn't sing or dance. Nor does she write plays, music or lyrics. She has no lighting or costume design credits to her name.
Still, if you're a fan of Broadway shows, you have seen her work. From the Emerald City in "Wicked" to the clueless missionaries in Africa in "The Book of Mormon," images shot by Ms. Marcus are iconic and enduring.
She recently was presented with an honorary Tony Award and, unlike those walking the red carpet tonight at Radio City Music Hall, Ms. Marcus can sit back and relax from a prime seat at the ceremony.
"I truly like what I do," said Ms. Marcus, who grew up in Highland Park and Stanton Heights, graduating from Peabody High School and later, George Washington University. "I love going to a play. I love the backstage stuff of it. Now I love seeing people I've worked with for years, and I love getting the work recognition."
"It's so great," said her husband, Adrian Bryan-Brown, a top New York theatrical press agent. She works so hard, and to be recognized like this, it's just the bee's knees."
The Broadway scene has long had its share of photographers who created classic images. Leo Friedman and Joseph Abeles were the go- to men for press photos in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Mr. Friedman was responsible for the great 1957 image of Carol Lawrence and Larry Kert dashing up a city sidewalk for the original production of "West Side Story."
Martha Swope, now retired, is another well-known name for her decades of capturing the beauty and drama of the New York dance and theater scene. Ms. Marcus' catalog spans more than two decades, including two Idina Menzel musicals ("Wicked" and the current "If/ Then"), Carnegie Mellon University graduate Patina Miller in "Pippin," and the current revival of "Cabaret."
"She has this great aesthetic, clearly, but I just think it was a case of finding something she loves as opposed to knowing what she loved," Mr. Bryan-Brown said.
She's not alone in the field.
"There are way more names out there now because it's much easier to do," said Ms. Marcus, whose career began in an era of film and darkrooms. "Now you need a camera and a computer."
Ms. Marcus's was an unlikely path to Broadway. She'd studied both photography and sociology at GW but had no intention of making either a vocation. At one point, she was headed to the University of California, Berkeley, to pursue a graduate degree in landscape architecture but deferred acceptance, permanently as it so happened.
"I had a million jobs, [but] no direction at all, none," Ms. Marcus said, laughing. "A friend and I started this weird blue jean skirt business before they made them at The Gap. We would sell them at AU [American University]; we were too embarrassed to sell them at GW."
After the sewing machine broke, she was off to another job, any job, including print work for a doctor who was writing a book on plastic surgery at the GW medical school. There was work doing computer graphics at a local TV news station.
She began working in the box office at the American Film Institute at Kennedy Center. "I noticed they had a photographer, and I wondered, 'Did he have a printer? -- someone to help him.
"Turns out, he was swamped. He said 'Can you help me print?' And that was it."

There are some things in life that are certain. One of those being that life will throw you a curveball. But what will you do when life throws you a curveball?
Curveballs are meant to be tricky. Deceptive. Make people swing and miss. But you have to swing!
Few things in life make me madder than a backwards K in baseball. That’s a strikeout looking. Striking out is bad enough, but striking out without even trying, that’s the worst. And it’s denoted with a backwards K in the scorebook. Don’t do that.
Yes, we will all strikeout. No, we won’t hit a home run every at bat. But you have to swing to put things into motion. Don’t let life pass you by while you’re just looking. Swing batter batter!
A curve ball is one thing.
That’s an entirely different thing!
