Dear friends,
Thanks to the generous donations of friends of the children of Ciqomi and of the dance, the leotard fundraiser has nearly arrived at its destination. Here is a photo of some of the girls from dance class trying out their new skirts. Following that, you can see a few of them in a joyful lunge pose.
I recently updated my database password in WordPress. I changed the database password in my hosting panel then updated the password in my WordPress wp-config.php file. What I didn’t notice at the time was that Dreamweaver added a couple of line returns at the end of the config file.
The result was that I could not login. My home page looked normal enough in Firefox, but when I tried to login the login screen had two errors at the top. In Opera there was only a white page with an error instead of my wordpress home page.
The warning starts with: “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by..”
Different browsers would return a different error page, but the cause was wp-config.php. I opened it up in Dreamweaver, removed all the extra line-returns, and ‘voila’ back to normal.
How to alter the files in your WordPress site when you can’t login? Do this: Use an FTP client, like Filezilla FTP client, login to your website’s FTP (you should have gotten the URL and passcodes from your web host.) Take a good look at your site’s file structure so that you feel familiar with it. At the top level there is a file called “wp-config.php”. This file contains the information needed to kick-start WordPress.
For people who have this problem after installing a plugin, login to your FTP site, and under /wp-content/ find the /plugins/ directory. Rename that directory temporarily (something like “plugins_old”) and create an empty directory named “plugins”. They say once you restart your browser and get a good login you can delete the temporary “plugins” folder and restore the original. This solution was not relevant to my troubles, but I post this in case it saves anybody an hour of searching.
Important NOTE: Do not edit your php files using a normal word processor. Even text editors will leave your file virtually unreadable. Instead, use software built for editing websites, such as Aptana or Dreamweaver. And as a good work habit, never edit the original. Always work on a copy, perhaps appending “_old” to the original’s filename.
If you’re like me, a design-oriented web-head, you always appreciate when someone approaches a tutorial from your point of view. Better yet if they approach an application with your needs in mind.
When making the transition from designing HTML sites to designing ASP.NET sites, you probably don’t care about all the dynamic tricks and hoop-jumping. You probably want to know, “what is the template and master page syntax for setting up the page to look like the HTML that I know so well?”
But it is difficult to find a tutorial in ASP.NET that is focused on this basic information. You have the choice of reading through dozens of tutorials, fishing through all kinds of tips and tricks to find such fundamental information or… you can go here (yes, I finally found it):

And if you are looking for a CMS that keeps your nose out of Visual Studio while totally respecting your designs, and never requiring you to code your page in tables, here’s your gold:
That’s my recommendation!
Whenever I spend time someplace I seem to always end up giving dance lessons to little girls. It is one of life’s delights.
Here on Naitauba, as a treat to the village girls, I’m giving them a little class once a week. They work so hard, and they are very musical. Some of them have natural facility, and all of them are totally sweet.
Here are my girls in their school room, where the class is held. (For big jumps and leaps we go out on the lawn.)
Never tried henna. Tried it. Hair feels nice. Looks… well… ORANGE!!!
Dear friends, I composed this song using Garage Band, an anthem for Danavira Mela.
From me to all my friends in Adidam!
Love,

I submit further evidence that Tobykins Bryan and David Tennant have some kind of eerie connection.
If you examine this photograph full scale, you will see a screenshot of David’s recent appearance on Absolute Radio. David…? What’s going on here? Are you copying Toby? Are you trying to give his budding career a boost? Are you his evil twin? I’m baffled, and I submit this for your consideration… in… the Twilight Zone!
So, am I the only person who has noticed the uncanny resemblance between Tobykins Bryan, star of stage and screen, and David Tennant, star of stage and screen?
Either David has been using Tobykins as his role model, or Tobykins should be cast as David’s younger brother/self/son in all his upcoming films.
I offer these comparisons as proof:
Casting directors… are you paying attention?! This is a real FIND!
Last day (s) in Los Angeles (Glendale), enjoying the company of Ratna Pappert, one of my two nieces.
Orpheus and Linead at the Tagore Gallery
Thursday night was the grand opening of the Adi Da Samraj exhibit at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery in New York. I have a few superlatives to express.
First, the crowd. Holy cow. It was mobbed.
Second, the mood. Everyone was SO happy! It was an amazingly happy scene.
Third, the art. That was the happiest thing of all. I just stood in front of one after another of these bright and colorful images, letting them work on me. When I felt I could hardly contain any more, I stepped outside. There was an entire crowd outside as well. It was a kind of resting place before people would find their way back inside for another dose.
The show goes until October 9th.
