[edit] Melrose, NY

Melrose, New York is a state-designated hamlet located within the town of Schaghticoke, in the county of Renssleaer of the state of New York. It is located about 4 miles north of Troy, 14 miles north of Albany, 20 miles from Saratoga, and 30-40 miles from Bennington, Glens Falls, Pittsfield, and Amsterdam. There are 88 redisential homes and four business located in Melrose. These include Esquire Food and Drug, on the corner of Route 40 and Church St; and 'Stuff n' Nonsense', a crafts store, located on the same corner. Getty gasoline, located slightly south on route 40, was open from at least the 80s, and closed in the spring of 2006. 'Meliti's Auto Repair' has been as staple in community for decades. Melrose was the location of a station on the Hudson and Maine railroad until the 1970s. Agriculture has been a significant industrial resource for the hamlet throughout its history. No other major industries have taken hold. Recent legislation has affirmed Melrose's future as rural as opposed to suburban, in stark contrast to its proximity to major cultural and economic centers. The most widely reputed grafitti within the hamlet limits reads "I will always love Lindsay Jones," although this was crossed out in the summer of 2006. Perhaps the love, exclamied by one Joshua Smith, has waned. Melrose is widely recognized as the best town to live in within the Hoosic Valley School District.

[edit] Pricewiki

A Pricewiki has the idea of reverting the whole online price comparison experience. Instead of having retailers or third-party comparison sites (that often tend to be corrupt, only listing/updating the price of their paying costumers) listing prices of products, why don’t let the users do this themselves. Total prices without any hidden costs or corruption!

HowMuchAtYourPlace.com is the first example of this new wiki phenomena. While more users adds prices this could eventually grow into an excellent database for comparing cost of living in different countries and strengthening global costumer knowledge.

[edit] Pootle

Pootle is an Open Source translation management system. The aim of a translation management system is to manage the process of translation from work assigment and goal setting to work distribution and validation.

Other features of Pootle include detailed statistics to monitor translation progress, a web-based translation editor and a number of checks to ensure consistant quality.

Pootle is used by a number of software developers to allow easy localisation of their software. Notable users include: Translate.org.za, localising various pieces of Open Source into the 11 official languages of South Africa. Creative Commons localising: ccHost, ccPublisher and ccSearch.

The software is released under the GPL and users are encouraged to host their own Pootle server. The project does host an official server at http://pootle.wordforge.org/ which is used to translate Pootle itself and is also used to host certain projects or to test new features.

Motivation


Pootle was developed to lower the barrier to entry for localisers. The systems currently employed to localise Open Source software can be very intimidating for skilled translators who are not familiar with Open Source. Thus a simple web-based system to allow easy contribution by new localisers was conceived.

Howver, since localisation is not the same as programming in that others can not easily verify the quality of work, Pootle also embraces systems to allows work to be monitored and checked and instritutes good process management as an aid to increasing quality beyond what localisers in software are currently achieving.


History


The software was initially developed by Translate.org.za to allow for the easy management of what they called Transalte@thons, or translation sprints. The software is now developed under the banner of the WordForge project.

[edit] "El Alma No Tiene Color"

"El Ama No Tiene Color" (The Soul is of No Color), a 1997 Grammy winning single from Laura Flores' album, Me Quede Vacia 1997, was also the theme song for her Telenovela (hispanic soap opera) El Alma No Tiene Color. The song was composed by Marco Antonio Solis in collaboration with Joan Sebastian. The hit single, which still enjoys much air play in Mexico and in the Southwest U.S., involves a theme of love and employs a variety of metaphors such as: "Sus Brazos las llaves de mi prision" "His arms are the keys to my Prison", and has brilliant keyboard rythms, comparable to work of Los Bukis, Solis' multi-platinum band, before disbaring in the 90's. 16:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Washington Glass School

The Washington Glass School was founded to bring glass art and sculpture to the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States of America. Established in 2001, the Washington Glass School provides education for students, artists and the general public. It encourages research and exploration of new techniques in all aspects of glass (blown, cast, fused, cold worked) as well as other media such as steel, ceramics, lighting and concrete. Tim Tate and Erwin Timmers were the co-founders of the school, and in 2005, Michael Janis joined as Co- Director. Originally located in the Capitol Hill section of Washington, DC, the school relocated to Mt. Rainier, MD after the school was displaced by the District to allow construction of the baseball stadium for the new Washington Nationals baseball stadium. In 2006, American Style Magazine noted the impact the Washington Glass School was having on the studio glass movement (American Style Magazine, Filling Glass With Meaning, June 2006, p 32-37, Lee Lawrence).

Students and artists are encouraged to explore and develop technique and craft, but then to take their work to another level. Exploring content, which can range from narration to emotion, from personal reminiscence to political commentary, from play on words to musterings on faith, death and destiny is the mantra of the school.

Locations and Facilities: The Washington Glass School is located at 3700 Otis Street, Mt Rainier, MD, 20712, website:www.washglass.com

Background of Washington Glass School: Tim Tate is the Co-founder and is the Creative and Marketing Director. He has been working in glass for over a decade, attending classes at Pilchuck Glass School, Penland School of Crafts and the Studio at Corning. He also oversaw a casting production studio in New Orleans for three years. He is a sculptor who has been working in glass, steel, concrete and ceramic since 1989. Tate’s work has been shown in many galleries and museums including the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery and Fraser Gallery.

Erwin Timmers is the Co-founder and is the Studio Director. Originally from Amsterdam, he graduated from Santa Monica College for Design Arts and Architecture. His sculptural artwork has been on display in the Zenith, Neptune, Fraser and Studio Galleries along with a number of private collections and commercial installations. His approach to art is multifaceted, incorporating metalwork, innovative lighting and glass. Timmers teaches glass, lighting, sculpture, and metal work.

Michael Janis is the Director of Architecture and Public Art. His architectural design projects have been published and won numerous national and international awards. Using his multidiscipline background, Janis coordinates studio production and manages the teaching assistants and school volunteers. Janis also teaches cast glass and plate glass techniques in the school, and has been a regular guest lecturer on Architectural Applications of Glass in Interior Design for the Corcoran College of Art and Design.

Examples of Janis and Tate's artwork were recently selected to be part of "50 Distinguished Contemporary Artists in Glass" by Lisa Hoftijzer. As a part of the publication of their book "Stained and Art Glass", authors Judith Neiswander (Fogg Art Museum, Minneapolis Institute of Arts) and Caroline Swash (St Martins College, London) invited over 500 contemporary artists in glass to submit examples of their work. Subsequently, distinguished appraisers in glass chose 50 artists who, in their opinion, represented "the best work of their generation".

[edit] Bang Pop

Bang Pop is a sub-genre of urban music music which first emerged in Los Angeles in the mid 2000s, ostensibly a hybrid of Pop, R&B, and Gangster Rap. The music's sound is typified by a production style that is at once Rap/HipHop [or urban] and pop. A Bang Pop song will typically have two vocal styles within a song: pop/rnb singing, and hard rapping.

Lyrical content in Bang Pop music tend to center around typical urban music subject matter: getting and romancing women, sex, gang banging, bragging, street fashion, the drug trade, dissing enemies, gun fetish, archery, expensive jewelery.

The name Bang Pop refers directly to both the lyrical content of the music and the composite nature of the production: Gang Bang + Pop.

The most obvious proto-Bang Pop artists are Nate Dogg, Warren G, and their group 213. Nate Dogg and Warren G's song "Regulate" is considered the piece of music that gave birth to the genre.

The current flag bearing artist for the Bang-Pop is a group called Professional Assassins [Los Angeles] who claim to have invented the sub-genre. Professonal Assassins Bang Pop anthem, "I Want Your Jyne", can be heard in the 2006 film Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny.
