Went to the English mass on Sunday morning. The priest was a bit difficult to understand, but overall the mass was the same as any other Catholic church. The music was good, and the church not as crowded as the previous mass in Tagalog. Overall, a nice environment to spend time with prayer and meditation.
The church was nice and there was a grotto by the entrance to say prayers. The Philippines is dotted with these very nostalgic places of worship.
When ever i visit Dumaguete, i never fail to pass by here and pray. A modern architecture of a church. If you want an antique feel of a church and this is not a place to be. Truly a place of worship for Catholics.
Conveniently accessible. Well lit from the inside. Make sure to get the mass schedules ahead of time as the chuch can get crowded.
The church provides solace and silence. Located besides the Belfry, city park, just a walk from the Rizal boulevard and market. The church is quite big and spacious and the altar is beautiful. Outside you can light a candle to Mama Mary for your prayers and petitions.
Since it was a Monday when we went there, the church was not filled with people giving us the chance to pray solemnly. I expected an ancient Cathedral but somehow this is not as old as I thought it would be. There are much older churches found in Bohol & Cebu.
There are lots of beggars outside and the fire from the candle area is so big I didn't dare light a candle anymore. The inside of the church is huge and holy but informational papers are scattered on the table right at the center of the entrance.
The church is photogenic. I specially like the figurines of saints at the entrance of the church. Very photogenic indeed. Its also nice to taste the local ice cream sold there. Its not gellato but it sure does take the heat off.
Just across the park, the church is in its old architectural design. What makes this place a famous place to visit, is its interior design.
Pray and make a wish!
I am not a Christian or Catholic.
I just went into the church to escape the heat.
However it is very tranquil inside. It is also a very good escape from the noise of traffic along the street.
You can just sit down there and be deep in your thoughts.

There are, of course, unlimited ways to make tacos. When I have tacos out I prefer to order shrimp tacos and these are a riff on one of my favorites. They are great with lettuce and tomato with a bit of salsa but I particularly like them with slaw.
My wife and I were talking about making lobster mac and cheese. A good dish, but not for every night with lobster being so cost prohibitive, and for a lot of folks it's not even an option because of availability.
This budget version with shrimp and the smoked paprika is quick and easy even for a weeknight and it keeps well for leftovers – reheat gently.
This recipe was inspired by a mediocre meal that I had recently at a banquet dinner. It was brought to me as the vegetarian meal (a good foodie tip: at banquets, order the vegetarian meal – it is generally healthier, fresher and tastier than the alternative). The grilled eggplant was good but undercooked and served with some other veggies. Tasty but really pretty boring.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can roast some extra eggplant and it makes fantastic sandwiches for lunch the next day. An easy thirty minutes in the oven and you can have a tasty dinner and lunch too!
We've seen a lot of new Saffron Road products this year, and it has been hit and miss with a 50/50 performance. That's par for the course with this company, and even though we feel good about them, it is interesting that often when we put two of their products in front of the tasting panel, one is good and one is not.
Today we start with their Chicken Enchiladas Poblano with Mesquite Black Beans & Garlic Rice. The name is a mouthful, but the meal is pretty good and that's without the sub-sub-title on the package (an additional 16 words). More new items from Saffron Road »

1. Field of the Invention
The subject invention relates to antennas and, more particularly, to a triangular section, helically-wound antenna tuned through use of PIN diodes.
2. Description of Related Art
In the prior art, there has existed a need for an improved antenna, particularly suitable for helicopter applications. Such applications present various design requirements such as the need to minimize rotor amplitude modulation arising from helicopter blades, as well as the desirability to accommodate frequency hopping operation.
In prior art antenna applications, the so-called "tranline" or "trombone" antenna has typically been used. This antenna is a shortened transmission line mounted external to the helicopter via an external antenna-coupler. It has not appeared practical to use existing designs of the tranline in frequency hopping applications.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide an improved antenna;
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved antenna for helicopter applications;
It is another object of the invention to provide a helicopter antenna less susceptible to helicopter rotor amplitude-modulation; and
It is still another object of the invention to provide an antenna for helicopters and other applications which is capable of frequency hopping.
The invention provides a triangular cross-section, helically-wound antenna, which minimizes helicopter rotor amplitude modulation. The triangular cross-section is preferably achieved by disposing a series of coil forms in triangular relation with a ground plane and serially winding a flat continuous conductor around the coil forms.
According to a feature of the invention, the antenna is tuned by means of shorting adjacent mutually-coupled coils using PIN diodes and PIN diode switched loading capacitance shunt fed through a wideband 9:1 impedance-transforming balun. The PIN diode switching feature provides the rapid frequency selection necessary for frequency hopping applications of the antenna.
The just-summarized invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective pictorial view illustrating an antenna according to the preferred embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating an antenna according to the preferred embodiment;
FIG. 3 is a top view of a section of the antenna of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a front view of a portion of the anntenna of FIG. 3; and
FIGS. 5 and 6 form a circuit schematic further illustrative of the structure of the preferred embodiment.
The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention and sets forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention. Various modifications, however, will remain readily apparent to those skilled in the arts since the generic principles of the present invention have been defined herein specifically to provide a helical triangular antenna suitable for helicopter application at selectable frequencies.
FIG. 1 illustrates a triangular cross-section helix antenna 11 located within a helicopter tail boom 13 beneath the rotor blade 15 of the helicopter. Preferably, the antenna 11 is oriented horizontally on the upper center line of the tail boom 13 and fanned into the structure for an aerodynamically clean profile. The switching and matching electronics are preferably co-located with the antenna 11, thus comprising an integral antenna and coupler. The surface beneath the antenna 11 is highly conductive to minimize losses and to maximize radiation toward the zenith for near-vertical-incidence-skywave (NVIS) propagation.
As indicated in FIG. 1, a distributed capacitance 17 arises between the rotor blade 15 and the triangular cross-section antenna 11. This capacitance varies as the blade 15 rotates, giving rise to a changing capacitance and resultant amplitude modulation of the radiated electromagnetic signal.
FIG. 2 illustrates an antenna including a number of triangular sections S1, S2 . . . S18 mounted on a ground plane 21. The first seven sections S1 . . . S7 are ferrite loaded, as further described in connection with FIG. 4. The ferrite-loaded sections S1, S2 . . . S7, which supply most of the inductance of the antenna, are more closely spaced than the remaining air core sections S8 . . . S18.
Each triangular section S1 . . . S18 includes a right leg 17 and a left leg 19. The legs 17, 19 of each section S1 . . . S18 are equal in length, and each pair forms the same angle where they meet above the ground plane 22. The foot of each right leg 17 lies on a line parallel to a line on which lie the feet of each left leg 19.
Eighteen elements S1 . . . S18 have been employed in a prototype according to the preferred embodiment to provide inductive reactance commensurate with a loaded Q not exceeding 200 at 2 megaHertz. This Q gives a 3-dB bandwidth of about 10 kiloHertz. This bandwidth is about the minimum practical bandwidth for a nominal 3-kHz HF voice channel, with allowance for some tuning error.
As further shown in FIG. 2, a flat copper ribbon cable 21 is grounded at the foot 23 of the right leg 17 of the first triangular section S1 and is wound upward around the right leg 17, then down around the left leg 19 of the section S1, and then across to the right leg 17 of the second triangular section S2. This serial winding of the continuous flat copper ribbon cable 21 up the right leg 17, down the left leg 19, and across to the right leg of the next triangular section continues down the entire linear array of triangular sections S2 . . . S18.
A flat 20-conductor cable 29 underlies the flat ribbon cable 21. The ribbon cable 21 may be 0.5 inch by 3 mil copper over two flat cables, each flat cable carrying 10 conductors of 28 AWG and comprising the cable 29. Such an implementation was employed in a prototype according to the preferred embodiment. However, other implementations may prove more desirable, such as a custom ribbon cable with integral ground plane and low Zo flat conductors. The number of flat conductors should decrease by one per section S1, S2 . . .
PIN diodes D1, D2, D3 . . . D7 are located between each pair of right legs 17. The first PIN diode D1 has one terminal connected to three conductors of the flat 20-conductor cable 29 at the base of the right leg 17 of the second triangular section S2. The second terminal of the first PIN diode D1 is connected to the ground at the foot 23 of the right leg 17 of the first triangular section S1. When activated, the first PIN diode D1 shorts three conductors of the cable 29 on the right leg 17 of the second section S2 to the grounded copper ribbon 39 (FIG. 4). The remaining PIN diodes D2 . . . D7 are similarly connected to short selected conductors of the flat 20-conductor cable 29 from one section S3, S4 . . . S7 to the copper ribbon 21 of a respective preceding section S2, S3 . . . S6, as shown more explicitly in the circuit schematic of FIG. 5. Three conductors of the flat 20-conductor cable 29 are shorted at each of the first six triangular sections S1 . . . S6, and two are shorted at the seventh section S7. Accordingly, these sections S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7 have, respectively, 20, 17, 14, 11, 8, 5, and 2 active conductors of the cable 29 wrapped thereon. In this manner, various triangular sections S1 . . . S6 may be switched in and out to vary the inductance of the antenna. The change in inductance with switching is a function of the coupling coefficient of the conductors of the flat 20-conductor cable 29 to the flat ribbon cable 21.
Additionally shown in FIG. 2 is a balun or auto transformer 25, which receives the RF input and provides it to the first section S1. The balun 25 provides a 9:1 impedance transformation required for impedance matching.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the first two sections S1, S2 in more detail. As shown, the legs 17, 19 are formed of cylindrical coil forms 31, which may, for example, comprise G-10 fiberglass cylinders, which are 0.75 inches in diameter. A fiberglass structural support 33 may be provided for added stability and strength. The distance d1 in FIG. 3 (turn to turn spacing) may be, for example, 2.25 inches.
FIG. 4 shows ferrite rods 37 in phantom. These rods 37 are inserted into each of the coil forms 31 of the first six triangular sections S1 . . . S6. These rods 37 achieve increased inductance without a serious weight penalty. The benefits of such ferrite-loaded solenoidal coils for both receive and transmit are well-established. The gain of a transmitting coil increases as a function of the diameter and the percentage of the core area filled with ferrite material. A conventional large diameter coil with ferrite loading would have excessive weight. Ferrite loading of the individual coils permits the achievement of higher inductance per major helix turn without excessive weight penalty.
As shown in FIG. 4, the outer copper ribbon conductor 21 is wound around the coil form 31 in helical fashion with uniform spacing between the turns, as is the cable 29 supplying the underlying 20 conductor wires. The turns begin at a selected distance above the ground plane 22, for example, 1.5 inches. The lead end 39 of the ribbon cable 21 is grounded, while the crossover portion 40 of the cable 21 crosses over to begin winding about the right leg 17 of the second triangular section S2. The crossover portion 40 is twisted as it crosses over to achieve proper winding about the next right leg 17. Thus, in FIG. 4, one sees the multiconductor cable 29 coming off the left leg 19 and twisted over to present the flat ribbon cable 21. The inductor formed by the outer ribbon cable 21 and right leg 17 of section S1 may be referred to as L1, while that formed by the outer ribbon cable 21 and the left leg 19 may be referred to as L2.
The schematic of FIGS. 5 and 6 is further illustrative of system interconnection and operation. Each winding of the outer ribbon about a right leg 17 corresponds to an element (inductance) labelled L1, L3, L5 . . . L35, while each winding of the outer ribbon about a left leg 19 corresponds to an element labelled L2, L4, L6 . . . L36. The RF input to the circuit is supplied to the balun 25, whose output line 41 is connected to the copper ribbon cable at a point between elements L2 and L3, that is, between the right leg 17 of the first triangular section S1 and the left leg of the second triangular section S2. Ferrite loading of windings L1 through L12 is indicated.
Further in FIG. 5, the turns of the 20-conductor cable about the respective legs, e.g., 17, 19, of the sections S1 . . . S18 are labeled LTx,yz, where x is a column indicator and yz is a row indicator. Hash marks across a wire, e.g., at 51, 52, indicate multiple wires. Thus, for example, PIN diode D8 has the turns LT1,1, LT1,2 of two conductors of the multiconductor cable connected to its anode, wrapped from there around inductances L1 and L2 and connected to the anode of the PIN switching diode D1. The third conductor of the 20-conductor cable which forms coils LT1,3 and LT2,3 is connected to a first switching control point TB-1 of seven switch control points TB-1 . . . TB1-7. The anode of PIN diode D1 is connected to the far end of LT2,1, LT2,2, and LT2,3. Thus, as indicated by three hash marks 57, there are three conductors of the multiconductor cable connected to the anode of the PIN diode D1. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, this structure is replicated for each of the seven sections S1 . . . S7 and each of the PIN diodes D1 . . . D6. As mentioned above, diode D7 has only two conductors attached to its anode, namely those associated with turns LT14,19 and LT14,20.
In operation, when a switching voltage is applied to one of the switch terminals TB1-1 . . . TB1-7, a respective diode D1 . . . D7 is switched on, removing inductance from the circuit. Tying together of conductors such as indicated by hash marks, e.g., 51, 52 provides a lower characteristic impedance. The PIN diodes D8, D9 . . . D14 function to provide a low impedance path to ground when the corresponding windings, e.g., L1, L2, are shunted by a PIN diode in an "ON" (low impedance) state. For example, when forward current is flowing in D1, then forward current flows in D8 also. The effective inductance in this condition is thus the leakage inductance between L1 and L2 in series and the inductively coupled inductors LT1,1 and LT2,1 in series, paralleled by the series combination of LT1,2 and LT2,2. The inductance of LT1,3 and LT2,3 does not contribute significantly, since the driving point (source) impedance at TB1-1 is relatively high in comparison to the PIN diode "ON" resistance, typically less than 0.5 ohm. Typically, a current of 200 ma flows through terminal TB1-1 when diodes D1 and D8 are "ON," whereas a negative potential of 1000 volts is applied to TB1-1 when D1 and D8 are "OFF" (reverse-biased).
The circuit of FIGS. 5 and 6 also employs a number of tuning capacitors C1 . . . C16 and switches, preferably PIN diodes S1 . . . S10 for switching various combinations of the capacitors C1 . . . C16 in and out of the circuits. Exemplary values for the capacitors in the implementation under discussion are:
TABLE I______________________________________C1 10 pf C9 180 pfC2 33 pf C10 180 pfC3 33 pf C11 33 pfC4 62 pf C12 33 pfC5 33 pf C13 25 pfC6 33 pf C14 50 pfC7 18 pf C15 50 pfC8 18 pf C16 3 � 62 pf______________________________________
With the prototype unit of FIG. 5, six switchable frequencies have been obtained based on the tuning data in the following table:
TABLE II__________________________________________________________________________FREQUENCY D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7__________________________________________________________________________2.110MHz OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF3.160 OFF ON ON ON ON ON OFF6.195 OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON OFF8.190 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON12.225 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF22.860 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF__________________________________________________________________________FREQUENCY S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 S8 S9 S10__________________________________________________________________________2.110MHz 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CL 0 03.160 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 06.195 0 0 CL 0 0 CL CL 0 0 CL8.190 CL 0 CL 0 CL CL 0 0 0 012.225 0 0 0 0 0 CL CL CL CL 022.860 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0__________________________________________________________________________
As may be appreciated, the number of switchable frequencies may be expanded by adding more conductors to switch more PIN diodes. The provision of seven PIN diodes D1 . . . D7 was selected to simplify prototyping.
According to the preferred embodiment, the use of shunt feeding facilitates direct grounding of the helix at the highest RF current point to minimize losses. Anticipated efficiency is on the order of 2% to 3% at 2 MHz for the disclosed embodiment, which is far better than proposed inductive loop/external coupler combinations. The antenna will operate at essentially quarter wave resonance at the low frequencies; half wave at the intermediate HF region, and essentially low-Q traveling wave at the high end. Frequency coverage may be extended from 2 to 30 MHz, although 1.5 MHz is possible at reduced efficiency.
An antenna constructed according to the invention has a number of advantages. The triangular cross-section is aerodynamically suitable for minimum frontal surface area and, most important for helicopter applications, exhibits minimum surface area coplanar with the helicopter blades, and thus minimizes rotor amplitude modulation. The triangular helix antenna with integral frequency tuning is also more efficient than previously-used antenna/antenna-coupler combinations capable of frequency hopping at high rates, and can hop at a higher rate than previous designs.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various adaptations and modifications of the just-described preferred embodiment can be configured without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described herein.

The study of history is learning through inquiry
The word "history," Greek in origin, means "learning through inquiry," and that is precisely what our professors of history and their students do. At UVM the study of history is much more than memorizing dates, names, battles, and treaties. Together, students and faculty discover and interpret the past by asking questions and conducting research. In the process, students become educated people, possessing flexible minds and sophisticated world views, who are prepared to meet the challenges of a constantly changing and increasingly complex world.
A Community of Scholars and Teachers
Virtually every member of our department has won or been nominated for one or more of the university's awards for excellence in teaching. We are equally proud of the fact that we are a community of scholars involved in the active pursuit of historical understanding. Every member of the History faculty is a published author. As scholar-teachers we are committed to sharing our love of history and our search for historical insight with our students.
Our Students
The History Department enjoys a diverse group of students. Many who enroll in our classes are not history majors and many who are history majors have no intention of teaching history or otherwise becoming professional historians. What all of our students share is a passion for history and a desire to use its study as a means of deepening their insight into the human condition, sharpening their analytical skills, and improving their ability to express their insights in clear English prose. In other words, they have chosen history as their main avenue toward a well-rounded education.

Morne Botes & Shani Petzer purchased this condo in 2011
Quite, beautiful and luxury.
Quite beach and 2.4 Acre of landscaped gardens.
My family and I stayed here in March and it was such a great experience. The condo is absolutely beautiful and had every amenity you could think of, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler. Our days consisted of eating breakfast at the condo, then packing up our things for the beach, which is just a VERY short distance (right across the road), spending half the day at the beach and then coming back to cool off and spend time by the pool, which is absolutely beautiful. We were amused by the iguanas that show their faces every once in a while by the pool!
Ruaneik who is the helper at the condo was right there to make sure we had everything we needed and he even got coconuts for us so we could try the coconut milk inside! If we needed anything, he was always right there for us and very pleasant!
The owners are very accommodating to our needs and were very helpful in where things are on the island and had great recommendations, especially for Stingray City. That was absolutely the highlight of our trip!
We loved the condo itself. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable in every way. We had one of the upper units and we used the deck for lounging or eating dinner, all while you can hear the ocean waves crashing on the beach. It really is a luxury condo and truly loved our stay here. And yes, we will definitely stay here again! It was even better than expected!
My husband and I stayed here with another couple. We had an amazing time and the condo was exactly what we were looking for! It was clean, well maintained and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the porch. It was a quick walk to the beach which allowed us to come in for lunch every day. The apartment had chairs, umbrellas, a grill, and the use of a stand up paddle board. We were also really happy with the location of the condo. We were able to take a bus into town for $2 a person for dinner, but felt like we had our own private beach. Walking along the beach it also seemed liked the nicest beach in the area. There were a few restaurants within walking distance and a short cab ride to others. Also, we found it really helpful that the supermarket was almost next door, allowing us to make multiple trips to restock!
This being the 2nd year in a row renting we are again extremely satisfied with the property,the condo itself(Windsong #3)and the great proximity to Seven Mile beach and Georgetown.I would consider this a luxury unit with all the necessary amenities to make a persons stay stress free.Thanks again the Bote's
We just returned from a wonderful stay in the Cayman Islands. The location is in the West Bay and steps from beautiful Seven Mile Beach. You can walk to a grocery store or a few restaurants and the Heritage Kitchen is not to be missed for some authentic Cayman cuisine in a casual environment. The condo itself is accurately represented on the web site and was well appointed. Although there were 6 adults there was plenty of room. The kitchen is spacious with lots of work space for food prep. There is an outside porch for dining or just relaxing. Snorkeling equipment, kayaks and a paddle board were also available for use.
Morne, the host, could not have been more responsive. From my initial contact and throughout the rental procedure he promptly responded to all my questions.
I would recommend this rental property without hesitation. We hope to be back!
We loved our stay at the condo! It was SO close to the beach which was perfect. Morne was super accomodating. He provided so many things for our toddler that we didn't have to bring anything, which was such a nice change from our usual travel. The condo was well appointed and had everything we could need. It was also walking distance from a grocery and two restaurants that were delicious. Morne really thought of everything!
I think the only thing I would change is more chairs by the beautiful pool:)
Thanks for a great stay and we hope to be back next year!
When you're responsible for finding a nice place to stay on a tropical island for a family of 6, you want to make sure you find a great place for everyone. Well, mission accomplished. Not only did I find a place that fit 6 adults comfortably, I found a place that was beyond perfect in not only comfort, beauty, but accessibility. It was the perfect rental and everyone in the family agrees. We can't thank Morne and Shani enough for sharing such a wonderful home.
The house was gorgeous. It has beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds, a snuggly couch, and lovely bathrooms. Everything is modern and well kept. You couldn't ask for a more cozy and comfortable place to call home for a week.
One of the important things for our family was to find a rental that was a bit off the beaten path but not by too much. The house is not a far drive from Seven Mile Beach but is just far enough. We basically had our own beach. It was brilliant. The beach is easily accessible. You can sit and soak up the sun or go snorkeling right off the beach. We were also located just a short walk from Cemetery beach which is a hot spot for snorkeling.
Another great convenience was that we could cook a lot of our meals. The house has a beautiful kitchen and there is a grocery store just around the corner. Dining out can be costly, so, it was priceless to have a kitchen to make meals, snacks and cocktails at cost. There is also a beautiful balcony were we ate many of our meals or just read books.
We decided to not rent a car, which we thought might be a problem, but it turned out it wasn't an issue at all. There is a grocery store right around the corner as well as a pharmacy and bank, which is easily walkable. And we are now obsessed and impressed with the local bus service! It is so easy to access the bus. You can pick them up anywhere along their routes. We were able to get to Turtle Farm (I going one direction) and down to Seven Mile Beach/Georgetown (the other direction), no problem. Really cost efficient.
It was an absolutely perfect vacation rental and Morne was so wonderful to work with for planning out trip and taking care of us during the whole week. He was so responsive and just amazing. We really can't thank him and his family enough.

Clean toilet w/o killing my marble tile?
I just re-tiled my bathroom floors and walls with marble. Looks great, but marble is vulnerable to harsh, acidic cleaning supplies. Can anybody recommend something which will really clean my toilet and tub, but not eat my floors and walls if it drips or spreads?
If you just pay attention to what you are doing, you should be able to keep the toilet bowl cleaner inside the toilet. Or just wipe up any spills and drips immediately. When you think about the great marble statues of Italy dating back 500 years and what they have endured, you have to believe that marble can take some abuse.
I use hydrogen peroxide on my light colored marble floor tile around the toilet to sanitize. Might work on the toilet too (not sure about the inside though). In case you are nervous about using it around your marble, here is the link where I verified it was okay and I do use it myself.

Bittersweet triumph
LLS Man of the Year deals with personal tragedies
When Kevin Shimp was asked to become a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Virginia Chapter Man of the Year, his initial reaction was that he could not possibly say yes.
Not only was he working 50-hour weeks during the March-to-May campaign period, but the busy father of two teenagers was also attending graduate school full-time.
Becoming a candidate meant he would take on the equivalent of another part-time job for 10 weeks to raise funds for blood cancer research.
At the same time, however, that Shimp's rational inner voice was telling him he could never fit such a task into his already-packed schedule, a louder voice was telling him there was no way he could say no.
As a clinical coordinator on the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at VCU Health Systems, Shimp says, "I see the effects of leukemia and lymphoma on a daily basis."
His wife, Jill, a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse at VCU, cares for patients that often end up in his transplant unit.
But the clincher for Shimp was that his father-in-law, Billy Snead, had been diagnosed with leukemia three years earlier.
And so, Shimp's heart won out over reason, and he found himself saying yes.
A resident of the Shenandoah community near Willow Lawn, he was soon ringing his neighbors' doorbells and asking for contributions.
"The feedback is incredible," Shimp says. "The people that you meet and get a chance to talk to. . . People would hand me money at bake sales in honor of their friends, parents, and siblings."
At one neighbor's door, he was met with a "no soliciting" – but just two days later, the same neighbor dropped a check in his mailbox.
And within seconds of sending out his first email request for donations, Shimp received a pledge of support from a co-worker.
Shimp also organized benefit nights at local restaurants and The Byrd Theatre, asked for auction items and solicited corporate sponsorships in addition to donations from friends and family. He appreciated that many businesses were especially generous despite the tough economic times.
"I realize there are a bunch of causes," he says, "but the response you get is unpredictable and overwhelming. Chuck Irving from Charles Irving Construction set me up with bowling leagues to get donations, and talked about [the campaign] as much as I think I did."
Stepping up
Then, midway through the campaign, Shimp lost his father. John Shimp – the first family member who had responded to Kevin's fundraising e-mail – passed away of complications from diabetes.
As if all the other challenges in his life hadn't been enough, Shimp now had to bear this additional crushing burden of grief. But he packed up his family and headed to New Jersey for a week to deal with funeral arrangements and help his mother through the loss of her husband of 47 years.
Upon his return to Richmond, says sister-in-law Sande Snead, he plunged "into yet another fundraiser – just two days after burying his father."
Shimp says now that he could not have made it the rest of the way through the campaign without the support of Jill and other key supporters -- among them his mother-in-law Evelyn Snead, former LLS Woman of the Year Susan Reid, and Emily Tucker, a retiree from Media General.
What's more, he says, "my boss Pattie Viscardi graciously looked the other way when I was doing things on the job."
He notes that before his father took ill, he had planned to set up a booth at the annual Easter Parade in Richmond and use it to sell sock monkeys and raise awareness for the cause. Abandoning the idea to head to New Jersey, he says he got a call en route from Forrest Sprouse, a Henrico H.S. IB freshman. (Shimp's daughter Casey is in the IB program; his son Logan attends Tuckahoe M.S.).
"[Sprouse] said, 'I know where you keep your key,'" Shimp recalls. "'What time and where do I need to be on Easter Sunday to run your table for you?'
"He raised money that day," says Shimp, "but more importantly he just did what good people do every day and don't get recognized for it – he stepped up."
Ups and downs
On May 13, at the gala culminating the annual campaign, Shimp learned that he had been the top male fundraiser – earning the title of 2011 Man of the Year for the Virginia Chapter of LLS.
It was a bittersweet moment for Shimp and his family, as he shared the sad news with the crowd of well-wishers that his father-in-law's leukemia is no longer in remission.
In another sad and ironic twist, it turns out that the 2011 Young Lady of the Year – one of the blood cancer survivors that the annual campaign honors – has become one of his patients.
Although Allison Rippy was declared cancer-free last fall after five months of chemotherapy, her non-Hodgkin's lymphoma resurfaced in January.
But there were lighter moments at the gala, too, as Sande Snead points out.
"In an overzealous effort to raise funds for the cause," says Snead, "my family actually outbid each other for a week at our own beach house at the fundraising auction."
And while Shimp's schedule has eased in the months following the campaign, he has no plans to rest on his Man of the Year laurels. Raising awareness of LLS has become a part of him.
Although cancer is no longer the taboo subject it once was, he believes there needs be much more openness about the disease.
"Getting donations was nice, and proved to be successful for my campaign," Shimp says. "But the key is for that same person to tell 10 people they donated to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and why.
"We need to be comfortable discussing [cancer] so that we can feel like its downfall is possible."
Citing the list of supporters that ranges from his wife to his boss to students like Sprouse, he adds, "One thing something like this teaches you is that almost everything is bigger then you are, and doing your piece to make it better for someone else is just an awesome feeling on a daily basis.
"And I had inspiration around me at all times."

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

" I visited Footwear etc. in San Carlos, CA for the first time yesterday, and it was a great experience. I had a salesman who proceeded to pull up his little chair to fit me in a pair of Earth comfort pumps with about a 2" heel. When I complained of a couple different pressure points, he stretched the shoes in those area--and the problem was gone! Outstanding service, and a fabulous selection of beautiful styles throughout the store. It's quite a distance from where I live; but I'll make the drive in order to have a selection of marvelous looking comfort shoes. Thank you to Jim Wells for such excellent service."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Cincinnati's project to turn hard-throwing Aroldis Chapman into a starter got off to a near-perfect start Thursday in the split squad Reds' 4-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Chapman works 2 innings as Rockies beat split Reds
"No. Nothing different," said Chapman through a translator after a spring debut in which he hit 94 mph with his fastball. "I tried to do things as before (as a reliever). Throw hard and look for spots."
Chapman has 16 starts in the minors but was derailed by injuries when he tried to make the conversion to starter last spring. He has never started a major league games in his three seasons but seemed comfortable in the role.
He started and faced the minimum six batters in two innings. Chapman threw 19 pitches, struck out one and didn't allow the ball out of the infield. Chapman went 5-5 out of the bullpen last season with 38 saves and 122 strikeouts in 71 2/3 innings.
Chapman said he was happy with the outing because it gave him a chance to work on some pitches, particularly his change-up. He used it to get his lone strikeout after Ramon Hernandez fouled off four fastballs.
"I'm preparing a little different," said Chapman. "As starter you got to be out there long, so I am doing more running and lifting."
Devin Mesoraco hit a two-run single for the Reds to break a 1-1 tie in the seventh. Colorado retook the lead in the bottom half on an error.

Video: Man saves beaten woman, holds suspect at bay for police
The marine vet happened to have a firearm and permit on him, and threatened the suspect that he would use the weapon
By Myra Sanchick
Fox 6 Now
WEST ALLIS, Wis. — An alert West Allis man heading home from work early in the morning last week had his concealed carry permit and weapon with him, when he was able to save a woman he observed being beaten near 102nd and Lincoln.
Charlie Blackmore, a Marine Corps veteran was able to hold the suspect, Kenneth Harris until officials arrived. Police moved in, and took the suspect to the ground.
The suspect was charged in connection with this beating. The victim told FOX6 News she is grateful to Blackmore — the hero who stopped the beating.

Random House New Releases - Music - Religious - Muslim http://www.randomhouse.com/category/ www.randomhouse.com 2006-03-13T11:23:00-05:00 Music in the Mind by Hiromi Lorraine Sakata www.randomhouse.com
Music in the Mind The Concepts of Music and Musician in Afghanistan
Written by Hiromi Lorraine Sakata
Hardcover, 246 pages | Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press | Music - Ethnomusicology; Music - Religious - Muslim; Social Science - Anth/Cultural | $34.95 | 978-1-58834-090-0 (1-58834-090-2)
Music is central to many important events in the Islamic world. Yet many members of Islamic society who follow the teachings of the Qur'an hold music and musicians in very little regard. Hiromi Lorraine Sakata examined this paradox during her research in Afghanistan in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and produced this insightful book.

Through case studies in the city of Herat (western Afghanistan), the remote provincial capital Faizabad (northeastern Afghanistan), and the village of Khadir (central Afghanistan), Sakata discusses traditional Islamic concepts of music and musician and interprets modern attitudes towards them both. She pays particular attention to the term musiqi (which can be generally translated as "secular music") and how misinterpretations of this construct may be the root of Western misunderstandings about music and musicians in Muslim societies.

Sakata collaborated with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings to produce a CD of Afghan music, which is included with the book.

The Mysticism of Sound and Music

Trade Paperback0 | Shambhala | Religion - Sufism; Music - Religious - Muslim; Religion - Mysticism | $24.95 | 978-1-57062-231-1 (1-57062-231-0)
Music, according to Sufi teaching, is really a small expression of the overwhelming and perfect harmony of the whole universe—and that is the secret of its amazing power to move us. The Indian Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882–1927), the first teacher to bring the Islamic mystical tradition to the West, was an accomplished musician himself. His lucid exposition of music's divine nature has become a modern classic, beloved not only by those interested in Sufism but by musicians of all kinds.

yes i thought so too Bittorent works on all OS.. Bittcomet is da best
"Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real" - Tupac Shakur (1971-1996)
yer bitcomet works on nething, even on computers at uni, which are like wired with so much god dam security measures, u dont even have to touch the program files, u can install it in my documents and it still works, so yer its one of those very reflexable programs
very kool, two thumbs up
Some cause happiness wherever they go, others, whenever they go
... Can't use bittorrent on Linux? I have a dual boot on my PC and I use Bittorrent just fine on Linux. Plus, nobody can really host music for direct download, freely distributing it from your servers can get you in trouble with the RIAA. I recommend bittorrent and for those extra hard to find songs, soulseek.Originally Posted by kenwa
Oh yeah
Azureus owns bitcomet, bittornado, ABC, and all those other torrent programs.
What kind of music are you looking for?
i know some direct dl sites. they most host japanese music but will host a few american songs. go here:
the webowner has a ton of links so if you dont find something there then look through the links.
if your wanting specific american music then your gonna have to use either a torrent or irc.
oh my fucking god and I dont even have a god - ed
gojyo - do you mind? about me and sanzo, I mean?
goku - mind what?
gojyo(mutters) - you know that Im boinking your sun.
The closest thing to direct d/ling mp3's is FTP but you've gotta know the right ppl to get on them. Anyone know a good public one or a really good private one and is willing to share?
I haven't checked that many threads in this forum (Ihardly ever visit) but I'm supprised someone hasn't mentioned www.radioblogclub.com, just search for the tracks you want let them load fully, copy them from your temp internet folders (they are the .RBS files) and rename them as .mp3 in windows media player.
Its free (and highly illegal) and there is a huge library of music, although it dosen't seem to write to tem internet files when using firefox, so use ie instead.
For the nOObs out there, you can find temp internet files by clicking tools (look at the top of your screen), internet settings and in the middle of the window where it says tempory internet files click settings, then click view files in the new window. Look for the .RBS files (helps if you view all the items with their details i.e. change the view), copy them to your music, open each one in media player, then go to file/save as, and just put .mp3 at the end of the file name.

At the Forge - Dojo
JavaScript has experienced a renaissance in the past year or two. Whereas many Web developers long saw JavaScript as a second-class programming language, useful for (at best) decorating Web pages, it is an increasingly central technology for Web developers. Whether you are adding Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), dynamic HTML or new GUI widgets to your Web pages, you likely have begun to use JavaScript more in the past year or two than ever before.
Luckily for all Web developers, the rapid and widespread interest in JavaScript programming has resulted in the development of JavaScript libraries and toolkits, many released under an open-source license. In my last few columns, we looked at Prototype, which aims to make general JavaScript programming easier, and at Scriptaculous, which provides visual effects and interface widgets. Prototype has become quite popular among open-source programmers, in no small part because of its inclusion in the Ruby on Rails application framework.
But, Prototype and Scriptaculous are far from the only games in town. Another popular open-source JavaScript framework is Dojo. Dojo is based on a number of convenience classes and objects begun by Alex Russell of JotSpot, a startup purchased by Google in 2006. Russell continues to work on Dojo, but contributions of code and money now come from other sources as well, including companies such as Sun and IBM. Moreover, Dojo is now included by default in the popular Django Web application framework, giving it additional exposure.
This month, we take an initial look at Dojo, examining the way it divides code into packages, then at several of the convenience functions it provides for JavaScript programmers and, finally, at a very small sample of Dojo's large widget library. Even if you have no intention of using Dojo, I hope you find this article instructive. I almost always find it useful to see how other languages and toolkits do things, if only to get some better perspective on what I am doing.
This is a relevant point even before you download Dojo, because the download site requires that you choose which combination of features you prefer to use. Knowing that my server is on a relatively high-speed line, that my sites tend to be relatively lightweight and that I plan to explore Dojo as a developer, I installed the "everything" version, labeled as kitchen sink on the download site. But, if you are interested in Dojo solely for its rich-text editor, or for use in Ajax or charting, you might want to download one of the many smaller versions, each identified by the subset of Dojo's functionality it covers. For the purposes of this column, however, I assume you also have downloaded the kitchen sink version.
At the time of this writing, Dojo is at version 0.4.1, and the kitchen sink version is available from the URL download.dojotoolkit.org/release-0.4.1/dojo-0.4.1-kitchen_sink.tar.gz.
Once you have downloaded the file, unpack it:
tar -zxvf dojo-0.4.1-kitchen_sink.tar.gz
The directory that you open will contain a number of different items, including a README file, several Flash animation (*.swf) files used in Dojo's persistent storage engine, the main dojo.js JavaScript file and several subdirectories, including one containing demos (called demos), one containing the source code for much of Dojo's functionality, and release and tests directories for development of the toolkit itself.
To get Dojo up and running on your server, you must put dojo.js and the src subdirectory under your document root. I tend to put my Web sites under /var/www/SITENAME/www, and JavaScript files go in the javascript directory under that path. I created a further subdirectory named dojo and put both dojo.js and the src directory there as well. Thus, the full path to dojo.js on my filesystem is /var/www/SITENAME/www/javascript/dojo/dojo.js, but the URL that we will use to load it from a Web page will be /javascript/dojo/dojo.js.
And, indeed, we can load Dojo into our Web pages using the standard <script> tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascript/dojo.js"></script>
Although the above loads dojo.js into the browser's memory, this does not mean all of Dojo's commands are now available. Rather, including dojo.js makes it possible for us to load one or more of Dojo's individual packages. You can think of dojo.js as a bootloader, in that its only purpose is to make Dojo available to you later on, rather than to perform any tasks on its own.
