Marco Meza was busy shelving books on the front shelves, while Joseph Young juggled 10,000 textbooks in the back book vault.
The two were putting the finishing touches on the amazing new library at Nogales High School. The light, spacious area will open soon, the latest renovation at the Rowland Unified school.
"It's very beautiful, the best part is the skylights that let in the natural sunlight," said librarian Tatyana Makarova.
Meza, a 16-year-old junior, thought the library was a great addition to the local high school. Nogales has begun a major renovation, a face-lift of the busy campus.
"I think the new library is more organized and easier to use. It's much nicer than the old building," Meza said.
In fact, the new library is the old library, though you wouldn't be able to tell from the inside.
"The library was gutted down to its shell. The only thing left are the bricks," said Khary Knowles, senior project manager for Erickson-Hall Construction. "We rebuilt the entire library."
The $8 million modernization project is funded by a $118 million construction bond passed in 2006.
"We saved $30 million over the life of the bond through lower bids and other savings," said A.J. Mohindra, the district's chief financial officer. "We're spending that money on Nogales and Rowland high schools."
The state-of-the-art facility features a new digital network as well as all new utilities. New furniture fills
In the back, Young was working in the massive book vault, which features large rolling shelves that will hold the school's 10,000 textbooks during summer vacation.
"We had to pour specially reinforced concrete under the vault to handle the weight of all the books," Knowles noted.
The massive storage units slid silently as Makarova demonstrated how easily the shelves move back and forth as they nest against one another.
"I have a sliding window in the back where I can hand out the textbooks to the students," Young added.
Across from the vault sat a new computer lab, where students can take computer classes. Glass walls tied the lab with the rest of the library.
"We have 40 MacBooks for the students to use during the computer classes," Young said.
Another section offered 32 desktop computers for the students to use in their studies. The Nobles can use the computers for research and homework.
The community will be able to use the new library from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It will also be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
"It will be open to the community through the end of the school year when our grant runs out," Makarova said.
Meanwhile, other Nogales students were enjoying the new science labs that had been renovated in the science wing. Six were ready for the new school year, while another six opened before the winter break.
"We redid 16 classrooms and labs. They all have new wiring and plumbing, as well new lab tables and sinks," Knowles explained. "There are also new exhaust hoods and storage areas."
Chemistry teacher Andrew Mesdjian was enthusiastic about his new lab.
"This is my first year at Nogales and I was surprised to get a new lab with new lab equipment and furniture," Mesdjian said. "The lab layout encourages students to interact with each other."
The instructor's enthusiasm has spread to his students.
"I feel the school is definitely getting better. It has a much better atmosphere," said senior Aldo Gonzalez. "We feel like the district is investing in our future."
The 17-year-old International Baccalaureate student was very excited about the renovations.
"They're taking care of us like never before. I've never seen so much change since I started going to Nogales High," Gonzalez continued.
Now, work crews are gutting another wing at the school so they can renovate the classrooms. The district is spending $1 million on new Career and Technical Education business classrooms.
"The building will have a new integrated technology system. The students will have the latest technology for their business classes," Knowles said.
To house the students during construction, the school district brought in 24 portable classrooms. The temporary classrooms line the back drive of the La Puente school.
Down the way, instructor Skelly Miller was watching workers finish his new photography lab.
"I teach more than 200 students in five sections and they're really excited about our new photo lab," Miller said.
The current renovations are only the beginning. Rowland Unified has approved plans that will add four new buildings, parking and entrance areas to Nogales High.
Alumni won't even recognize their old high school after a two-story building is constructed along the front of the campus. The building will hold classrooms as well as administrative offices.
A new food services building will provide covered dining, staff lounge and multipurpose room. A super room will feature four classrooms that can open into one large area for meetings with video conferencing.
Once approved by the state architect (a six- to eight-month process), the project will go to bid. Construction will take a year and a half.
In the meantime, Nogales students can enjoy their new library and labs.

Fletcher Tison says the South Street Seaport was his dream neighborhood when he moved there in 2009.
"This is an amazing neighborhood. This is a great part of the city with amazing views of the bridge and the river. It is its own little community," says Tison.
He says he never contemplated a hurricane leaving the area under several feet of water, but that is just what happened when Sandy moved through. While his apartment was spared, his building is still without heat, hot water and electricity.
Fearful of a future storm, he is moving out of the neighborhood for good.
"We dodged a bullet in this area with Irene because it is a really low-lying area of Manhattan," Tison says. "I just kept thinking, last year we were able to get in the day after, this year this has happened. This is going to happen again."
Real estate experts say Tison's story is far from rare. Many residents who live in city evacuation Zone A are flocking to higher ground.
"The people who were shopping in the downtown areas suddenly became a lot more interested in seeking out homes in the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side," says Victoria Terri-Cote, a vice president of the Corcoran Group.
Terri-Cote says she has seen a significant increase in the number of young people at her uptown apartment showings. While the downtown neighborhoods may be suffering now, she doesn't believe this is going to be permanent problem.
"Fresh blood will come to the neighborhood and they won't have the memory, the direct memory of what these people who experienced Sandy went through," she says.
It is going to take some time before that happens, Terri-Cote says, but she believes the neighborhoods will come back more vibrant than ever.

A Digital Literacy Corps offering college scholarships & stipends!
I founded Net Literacy, a digital inclusion and digital literacy nonprofit in middle school together with my friends and today, 3500 student volunteers have donated more than 20,000 computers and increased computer access to over 170,000 individuals. Students rule at Net Literacy and comprise 50% of the Board of Directors and perform all of the volunteering.
Students have learned leadership, job skills, and life skills while earning $100,000s in college scholarships and serving their communities. Our "youth-empowered" model has been cited by the European Union's Study on Digital Inclusion, we have partnered with Internet associations representing 270,000 Internet companies on six continents, and two American Presidents have honored our accomplishments. Net Literacy's proven program is ready to be scaled and engage and empower the digital generation in every community and in every state.
Currently, I'm a college senior and serve as Net Literacy's volunteer president and executive director.

My Sunday column is about the Security Council next week taking up an issue that has never received the attention it deserves: sexual violence in conflicts. It's partly because of the indelicacy of the issue that victims don't talk about it and diplomats don't want to address it either. And that's what makes it such an effective way to terrorize people and depopulate an area.
Eastern Congo is truly a horrifying place, with the International Rescue Committee and World Vision among the few private aid groups (along with Catholic missions) that have been active there. World Food Program also runs an important presence there, averting famine. And the two hospitals that repair fistulas and treat rape victims there are truly heroic: Heal Africa Hospital in Goma and Panzi Hospital in Bukavu.
One group documenting the horrors with photos and a documentary film is "Women in Warzones"; you can see some of the photos there. One of the women involved, Melanie Blanding, of Roanoke, Va., wrote me to describe the project. There's also a feature-length documentary called "Lumo," about a young Congolese woman at Heal Africa hospital. I've met the real Lumo, and I recommend the documentary. From my last post, quoting Mia Farrow, you can see that the same horrors are also unfolding in Central African Republic.
This week the U.N. Security Council has the chance to do the right thing and recognize mass rape as an international security issue. Are we finally waking up to systematic, mass rape as an authentic security issue?

Last year, I was fortunate enough to be apart of E!'s Countdown to the Academy Awards segment and speak from the red carpet about what I would wear to an Oscar after party. I had an amazing time being able to be apart of the festivities. This year has been a whirl-wind of styling new and loyal clients and my wedding styling business has really taken off! Needless to say it was nice to be able to take a night off and simply enjoy the show.
The Oscars never seem to fail us when the rich and famous come out to play and honor their own. Highlights included the return of Billy Crystal, Sasha Baron Cohen showing up as his alter-ego and Angelina's leg stealing everyone's thunder. But enough about all of that, let's get to the good stuff!
Here are a few of my favorite looks of the night:
Emma stone was my favorite look of the night. She always takes risks with her fashion choices on the red carpet and they always seem to pay off. I love the playful bow detail and the color that compliments her ivory skin. Michelle Williams was another favorite of the night in a crimson Louis Vuitton. Her hair looked fresh in her signature pixie cut and the silhouette gave a 1950′s feel.
I wasn't as big of a fan of Gwyneth's look as most people were. However, I did appreciate the modern feel she was going for in this white Tom Ford gown. also liked her relaxed up-do and of course her arms look flawless! Rooney Mara was one of those I was super excited to see walk the red carpet. Though her Gievenchy dress was not what I had expected, but she did look very glamorous and I loved her hair and red lip.
Jessica Chastain was one of my favorite beauty looks of the night. Her hair and makeup looked flawless and fresh. Her McQueen gown was a bit aging for my taste, but over all, she looked great. Kristin Wigg hit the mark again in a gold J. Mendel. The detailed bodice was the perfect compliment to the feathered skirt.
Navy blue is one of my favorite colors to see on the red carpet. Leslie Mann wore a stunning jeweled midnight blue Cavalli, which made her starberry locks look oh so chic! Tina Fey donned a classic navy Herrera gown with black sash and bold earrings.

Thanks for the fast fix. ^^
I beat mission 3 on first try. Mission 4 is harder again, but I think if I arrange my ships better I'll be able to beat it.
The arena bosses. Hm, I can't even defeat the first one. His ravages (the upgraded ruins) are tearing my ships apart. XD I think I'll need a second intervention part and more energy regeneration.
I finished mission 4.
But I think the timer for mission 5 is broken. Instead of counting down 1 second per second, it only counts down 0.03 seconds... That's around 3 hours of surving, instead of 5 minutes.
Unluckily, i'm going on vacation so i cannot bring out as new version for 5 days.
Damn, i didn't notice for the timer, my strategy to seeing if the mission worked basically involved starting the mission, playing around for 2 minutes and passing to the next one (you'd understand if you had played the same mission over and over for 3 month XD). To be honest, you aren't missing much though. I basically did mission 1-16 with about 3 minutes of gameplay in each, then i upgraded each mission one at a time. And currently, only missions 1-7 are really acceptable, the following ones are slightly short.
However, i realize you must find it frustrating to play and get stuck every-time, so i suggest you stop playing this game, and i'll get back to you once i've taken the time to finish the campaign correctly . Or you can just play skirmishes and try to go as far as possible in Shooter mode or Arena. Or you can upgrade your ships with 5 Wards and then leave your computer on for 3 hours while your ships are undefeatable XD.
Do you want me to put out the version i use to test various missions ? It's maybe in the version thats already uploaded, i'm not sure, but pressing K will unlock all arena bosses and all missions.
Good luck, and i'm really sorry for all the problems.

Well after weeks of considering the Omega 8005 to then forget about it when I learnt about it's common auger chipping issue, I then considered the Green Star for about a week before deciding to get it. It was MUCH more than I was expecting to pay for a juicer (I was expecting $215 for the Omega, I paid $380 for the Green Star 3000, not to mention the shipping is $66 rather than the $44 it would have cost to ship the smaller Omega).
I also got the 74 minute green star juicer DVD for $13 along with a few pounds of Celtic Sea Salt since the same store also sells it and I don't find many stores that have any, I've been out of Celtic salt for a while, I get a nearly equivalent salt at the health food store when I'm out of Celtic salt.
I really hope I use this juicer more than the one I have now at the price I paid for it, it will also be much more tempting to use knowing how effective it is (with my Breville junk, I know half the juice is going in the trash, doesn't make me want to use it much or at all).
Thanks to everyone that helped me decide, it was a very ahrd decision, I've never had to think so much before buying something, the reasons are it will be the most expensive machine in the kitchen (other than stove and fridge) and may also be the least used one if I use it like my current one, but hopefully I'll use it daily, I'm sure I will for the first few weeks, the question is, how long will I keep using it daily?
Thanks again

Supervisor Don Horsley has announced that he has changed his mind and would resume his two-year practice of not taking a salary for the remaining two years of his four-year term on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 12:00 AM
Posted by Thomas, a resident of another community, on Jan 16, 2013 at 2:25 pm
Mr. Horsley owes the voters and taxpayers of San Mateo County $18,616.32, do the right thing, write the check, pay your debt.
Posted by Joe, a resident of the Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park neighborhood, on Jan 16, 2013 at 2:48 pm
Is it possible that Mr. Horsley does not owe this money? It's his salary and he did nothing illegal to start collecting it. He crossed a line ethically, perhaps, by going back on a promise, but think about that promise.
Yes, he had his eye on the election and the promise may have been significant in getting him elected, but it may not have. He was the establishment candidate, the candidate with the money and the connections, the odds-on favorite.
And for two years, he's been working for essentially nothing. Yes, he has a big pension. If he is cut, does he not bleed? Think about working for nothing, about working week after week, long days, getting in and out of the car, and having a $120,000 that you're not collecting. I can see room for regret, and cause for ill-considered moves after two years of that.
He has recommitted, and I think demanding that he repay that $18,600 is just piling on. He made a mistake. Let's move on. Jesus. He's a human being. Give him a break.

Thomas obviously has some sort of agenda.
What Joe said was true - what Mr. Horsley did was unethical, not illegal. Repayment is not required.
But the point that Joe made about Mr. Horsley "working for essentially nothing," falls on my deaf ears. That was Mr. Horsley's campaign promise, not mine. That was his offer, we accepted.
Again, this issue is all about integrity and honoring a promise, not the worth of a Supervisor's job.

I am confident Don Horsley will do the right thing. He leads by example, give him some time to make the right choice.
Posted by Hmmm, a resident of another community, on Jan 16, 2013 at 6:58 pm
Yep, time to move on. I sure don't expect him to repay the $$. Our country isn't broke. What he broke was his own word & he recommitted.

Sahlem's Roofing & Siding in West Seneca, N.Y. educates consumers on tips for containing roof trouble. The company recommends Sahlem's Ice Dam Solution, one of the quality products the company offers to prevent damage caused by ice and water.
West Seneca, NY (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
According to the roofing and siding professionals at Sahlem's Roofing and Siding, many consumers believe that ceiling stains are the only sign of a leaking or damaged roof. Sahlem's maintains that knowing the signs of roof damage can help home owners fix minor roof problems before they become serious and require extensive repairs. In an effort to help consumers know the key signs of roof problems, Sahlem's Roofing & Siding present a list of what to look for.
"Ceiling stains are certainly a sign of roof trouble," said Bill Sahlem of Sahlem's Roofing & Siding. "But there are numerous other things that can indicate a problem. If you see water or ice in the overhang, water or ice running down your siding, water entering a window, dampness around carpet or flooring or on outside walls, you may have a leak and should call a roofing and siding professional."
One innovative solution that Sahlem's Roofing & Siding offers as a preventative measure is Sahlem's Ice Dam Solution, which uses an ice shield insert behind the gutter to fill the void that allows ice and water to enter the overhang and sidewall. Sahlem's Roofing & Siding also inserts an additional ice shield cap over the drip edge.
Sahlem's Roofing & Siding offers a wide range of residential and commercial roofing solutions. They provide roofing installation, replacement doors and windows, seamless gutters, vinyl and hardiplank siding and much more.

Lucky Stars: Florence Welch in Kenzo
She's well-known for her daring fashion choices, but last week, redheaded songbird Florence Welch skipped her usual floor-grazing gowns in favor of something more masculine. She selected a paisley suit from Kenzo's Fall 2011 collection for a visit to BBC Radio 1, which she paired with bright purple loafers and a beautiful tan clutch by Jason Wu.
Though certainly a statement-maker, we love the busy prints in Florence's ensemble, and how she brought out the pattern's violet tones with those bold slippers. Shop some pretty paisley pieces below and let us know: would you take a chance on this classic Indian print?

Is there an example of two species taxonomically classified in different biological families sucessfully sexually reproducing viable offspring? If not, is there an example of where reproduction occured with non-viable offspring?
To be clear, I mean regular sexual reproduction that could occur in the natural world outside a lab. Even so, I'd be curious to know if it could even occur in a lab without direct genetic manipulation.
For example, grolar bears which are ursid hybrids between different species in the Ursus genus are known to exist. Also ursid hybrids between bear species in different genuses have been produced in captivity (sloth bear Melursus ursinus x Malayan sun bear Ursus malayanus and sloth bear x Asiatic black bear Ursus thibetanus). Would an extra-familial hybridisation be possible? Would this be more likely in the plant kingdom?
This question is inspired by a separate question on the Gardening SE which hints at a general lack of understanding of the genetic similarity required for cross-pollination in plants. It made me wonder whether there are any exceptions to the general assumption that extra-familial hybridisation is impossible.

Post subject: Don Allured
Carmel T Daveson AM; President, Handbell Society of Australasia.
On behalf of the members of the Handbell Society of Australasia (HSA) I honour a great man "Donald Allured". Throughout the years, Don has inspired many members of HSA even though very few of us ever met him. His written material has reached almost every nook and crook of the two countries of HSA: New Zealand and Australia.
Although I did not have the privilege of meeting Don an icon of the Handbell world, I will never forget him. I trace my handbell life back to Don's book. My little story will tell you why!
When I had no real knowledge of handbells I discovered one of his books and it became my "handbell bible". Many years later in 2004 my late husband and I were touring Canada. To my excitement one of the tourists on the bus lived near one of Don's children. I raved about how Don had influenced me across the thousands and thousands of miles between our two countries. Through that contact I emailed Don's son who forwarded my email onto Don. To my amazement I received a reply from Don. The email was not only very warm and supportive but very humble. He simply said that he was so happy to learn that someone so far away had found this little booklet useful.
On behalf of the Handbell Society of Australasia, I write to offer our thoughts and memories of a man who enriched many people's lives through the art of handbell ringing. Don has demonstrated to us all that a truly great and gifted person is also a humble one.

"Dear Don , A Gentleman - a Great man. - Kind, gentle and understanding, yet the very essence of a professional musician. He knew exactly what was needed in bellringing, organ and composition to say the least. His belief was great in the goodness of God who gave him so many wonderful talents. He used these gifts with a thankful heart, helping so many people.
We can celebrate his life remembering his love of people and music. It was a great privilege to meet him in 2000 with his wonderful Bayview WOH ringers. A memory we will always cherish.
This is a sad time for his family and friends. We feel for them all. Our sincere and loving thoughts and prayers are particularly with all his dear family." Oonah and David Caldwell New Zealand. Handbell Society of Australasia

At the beginning of my association with handbells, I too, discovered his writings and compositions and as then a raw beginner in the world of ringing, I looked to his wisdom, skill and advice to guide my own thinking and approach. One of the key phrases in his text book, that I pondered and that became a mainspring for my own endeavours, both as a ringer and as a Musical Director of other ringers, ran something to the effect that: "In handbell ringing, ringing the right note at the right time is only the beginning, not the end."
In his passing we mourn the departure from this world of a major figure in the history of handbell ringing. At the same time, we rejoice in the inspiration that his writings, his music and, supremely, Donald himself have become for so many, throughout the world of handbell ringing.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Donald Allured. He had such an influence on the handbell world! By the time I was teaching in the late 1970s, we were using his book as the only real text that was available. It was the dream of our Schulmerich representative, John Nelson, to get Donald Allured up to Canada. It took him a bit of time to convince people we were ready for a workshop with "The Master" but John continued to push. By the time Don came to Alberta in October of 1983, he was the acknowledged expert in ringing, and I was thrilled that everyone there actually heard his message that "playing the right note at the right time is only the beginning!" He pushed us toward excellence, gave us techniques to go beyond, and his visit resulted in a new level of performance for the ringers in attendance, new techniques for the teachers to take back to their classrooms, and most importantly - the formation of the first handbell guild in Canada - the Alberta Guild in 1984. If Carol Petrie was still with us I am sure she would add here that the Saskatchewan Guild, formed shortly thereafter, was also started in that room. Mr. Allured attended part of that first meeting of handbell enthusiasts, listened attentively, and gave measured advice, but only when asked. He was invited back to conduct our first festival in 1984.
I will always think of Donald Allured as one of the founding fathers of the instrument I love. Through his books and workshops, handbells were no longer a novelty instrument that made church worship more interesting on special occasions and facilitated note reading in school children. They became a truly musical instrument, requiring a team of people to work and think as one, in order to make music that was genuinely heavenly. The people trained by Donald Allured became the teachers, armed with a variety of techniques and exercises guaranteed to achieve musicality, to solve previously impossible ringing problems, and to settle for nothing less than excellence.
This has been a sad year of huge loss for the American Guild and, by association, for the handbell ringers of the world. To the families of Donald Allured, as well as David Davidson and the other pioneers before them - their ringing families and the people lucky enough to share their daily lives - the hearts and prayers of people all over the world are with you. May it give you some sense of peace to know that the person you loved definitely made a difference and left this world a better place, contributing great beauty and the desire to aim higher to the lives of countless people all over the planet. That legacy will continue to grow on Earth, even now.
Wishing you God's Peace and Blessing,
Alison Wood

Post subject: Remembering Don
So many memories have stirred in me in viewing the Don Allured memorial page and the many heartfelt responses- they only begin to paint a portrait of this
great and humble musician
Beyond the many breathless moments under his baton over decades, I cherish the honor of him being a family friend- gentle, caring, warm, and at times, hilarious! Special memories include sunset cruises aboard Silverthorne II on Lake Michigan, surprising Don with a "Save the Bells" shirt at Bayview WOH, listening to him recount musical tales while sitting in our jacuzzi, sitting at the kitchen table with him and being challenged to a higher level of commitment to musical excellence!- Undeserved grace that I will never adequately appreciate.
My favorite Allured quote:
It's not music unless people are moved!
We have been blessed and drawn closer to the love of our Creator through the life and musical passion of Don Allured.
We will miss you, Don!

Don served the art of handbell ringing in myriad ways, including the one which introduced me to him: the person who reviewed manuscript submissions for AGEHR. It is understandably rare to receive a personal reply to a submission rather than a polite form letter saying "better luck next time", much less one with constructive criticism and encouragement. I will always treasure the letter that Don sent me when he accepted my first piece for publication through AGEHR. Living in France, I didn't actually meet the Maestro until some years later while attending an AGEHR event. When I saw him carrying two cases of handbells down a hallway I went up and said "Mr. Allured, I am thrilled to meet you." In all humility he asked, "How did you know I was Don Allured?" as if he was just another anonymous figure in the crowd. He took handbells seriously, rather than his status or notoriety. I have been blessed to attend his Bay View Week of Handbells over the years and work under him. Hopefully Don will remain in our hearts as an example to strive for more than we thought possible, to give our very best to the music and to pass along the passion for this unique art form as it continues to unfold and blossom.

Donald Allured's attention to music was equaled only by his devotion to the musicians. He has built the handbell community one ringer, one director, one composer, at a time with his care, attention, enthusiasm, and encouragement. He brought respect and professionalism to our instrument and its potential, and he leaves a legacy of love for all musicians.

Post subject: The Maestro
I was privileged to ring under the Maestro at Westminster Choir College for four years and travel in one of those famed Winnebagos with the Concert Handbell Choir. Mr. A as he was fondly known, was my mentor and helped to shape the musician I am today. I have a fond memory of playing a concert while on tour at my home church (Wayne Pres, Wayne PA). We liked to have fun, as most handbell ringers do, and we started "Pick A Winner" while Mr. A was still introducing it. He quietly turned around and sat down in the pew while we continued without his direction. When we finished, he pulled out his electric razor and began to shave to demonstrate the "close shave" of finishing the piece at rocket speed. His humor will be remembered along with his gentle spirit and demand for more than perfection. Ringing "Sharon's Song" 20+ years later at DB East under David Davidson's direction brought to life once again this beautiful piece. Mr. A you will be missed by so many!

I played Don Allured's music as a teen at various festivals. Then in the summer of 1990 my sister and I attended a handbell workshop at Westminster Choir College with Don. We had been ringing with the group for awhile when Don said to the two of us, "I can tell you are sisters because you ring alike...you don't look alike, but your ring alike." I will never forget his comment. That next summer my sister and I went to Bayview and again 5 years later. We so enjoyed ringing under Don's direction, where he encouraged (actually, gently demanded) the very best of the ringers musically. He seemed to love Bayview so very much. He will be missed for the wonderful person that he was and the excellence that he brought to the handbell world.

Don came into my life at the Grove City national festival when his choir played
and I heard handbells playing 16th notes--much to my amazement. Since then he has always been one step ahead of the rest of the industry.
Don's ethical and gentility put him head and shoulders above the rest of us. His exemplary behavior coupled with a great sense of music made such a difference in the word--a real beacon for us to follow.
Fortunately, Don gave so much of his inspiration and good discipline to us all that his character and spirit will continue to guide us.

I was only able to experience Dr Allured's conducting once, at an OGEHR festival at Brock University, Ontario in the late 1980s. My new church job hadn't even taken possession of their first set of bells, but I was sent to see handbells in action. How much I learned from these very few days of hearing this master speak and direct at the highest level of musical professionalism. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

The first "handbell concert" I ever attended was Don's Westminster Concert Bell Choir at University Baptist Church in Chapel Hill, NC (at some point in the 80's). I will never forget how captivated I was with every note played, as was the entire audience. Captivated, not only by the huge set of bells and the skills demonstrated, but also by the music being shared. We were all entertained more than any of us had experienced with this instrument.
The first "handbell recording" I ever purchased was a cassette (remember those?), simply titled, "Westminster Concert Bell Choir". I listened to that recording many times, and ordered nearly every piece of music from that album for my church bell choir. Yes, we could argue that we've come a long way with the technology involved in recording our instrument, but the performance, the musicality and the variety on that recording was unmatched.
The first "handbell workshop" that my church group participated in was one of Don's technique workshops for individual churches that he led around the country. With Don's permission, we videotaped the session that day and I spent countless hours studying every nuance that Don covered so I could teach my group the correct way to play the instrument. That VHS tape (remember those?) was virtually worn out after years of viewing!
The first "handbell festival" my group participating in the Methodist Handbell Festival in Fayetteville, NC conducted by Don. Like many have said, we too, were a bit terrified at first, but we came out of that weekend thoroughly inspired and ready to dig even deeper into experimenting with music making with handbells.
The first "handbell text" I owned was Don's "Musical Excellence in Handbells", later to be replaced with his "Mastering Musicianship in Handbells". To this day, I recommend this book to anyone who will ask, as there is no better reference material for our instrument.
I truly believe that Don laid the foundation for handbell ringing in this country. My worry is that future generations of handbell ringers may not know of his name and the true impact of what his accomplishments have meant to our art. We all need to do all that we can to preserve these memories and carry on his legacy for the highest standards for making music.
No one has had a greater impact to our art.
Thank you, Don. Our mentor. Our inspiration. Our friend.

Where Does Fame/Attention/$$$ Come From?
Sunday, January 25th, 2009Most systems have some sort of currency. Market economies have money. Cells have ATP. The fame game has attention. The currencies are often taken for granted; I don't think why I can exchange a sweaty handful of bills for a sweaty handful of Bud Light–I just do it, and all is well.
In fact, it's sort of unseemly to talk openly about currency in itself. Talking about jobs among friends, we pass off money as a tangential factor: "The money's better, sure, but I'm really excited about . . ."
So it is with attention. We don't say, "Gosh I enjoy staring at hot babes (dudes, cars, gadgets, whatever)"–in fact, in those cases, we don't even say anything. The reaction is internal and, often, unnoticed.
The name for a big pile of money is wealth; a big pile of attention is fame. The difference is that people have spent a lot of time studying how money works. One can, for example, get a PhD in economics. When it comes to attention and fame, though, we act as if there's some sort of alchemy that happens.
Really, though, fame comes from attention, and attention comes from individual people–from you and from me. It's time we start analyzing how people accumulate our valuable attention.

SHIRLEY FISCHLER: The world is full of sore losers
The whole world needs a training course in the meaning of sportsmanship, with particular emphasis on the part that says losing should not include lies, distortions and tons of sour grapes!
Two sore losers last week were particularly striking for their lack of decency and utter inability to grasp reality.
The first that comes to mind is sore loser Mitt Romney grousing about how he lost the presidential election because Barack Obama gave "gifts" to African-Americans, Latinos and young people before the election, in order to make sure they would vote for him.
At first glance it appeared that Romney was accusing Obama of doling out bribes to ensure that targeted voters would come to the polls. Egads! All the president's men were bribing people?
Turns out Romney was referring to the president's health care plan as an inducement to African-Americans, his amnesty-to-children-of-illegal-immigrants plan as a sop to Latinos and the forgiveness-for-college-loan-interest allegedly "bought" the votes of young people.
The enormity of this hideous accusation that the president used his power of office to buy votes is mind-boggling. But I have to admit it's also ingenious: To take social legislation supposedly for the good of the nation and label it "gifts" or "entitlement" for a few is really clever — nasty, untrue and maybe even slanderous, but clever.
Of course, the fact that Romney and Paul Ryan lost the election makes their promised "gifts" or entitlements (to the rich by maintaining their tax breaks and loopholes, and/or eviscerating, privatizing or out and out destroying Obamacare, Medicare and Social Security) highly irrelevant … thank heaven!
Last week's other big winner in the sour grapes category was Egypt and its ally, Hamas in Gaza.
Hamas had fired nearly 800 rockets into southern Israel thus far this year — including wiping out a family of four (which went completely unreported outside of the Israeli press) and injuring four IDF soldiers just last week.
Israel finally responded, and heavily. With highly accurate pinpoint bombing, IDF fighters blasted a car carrying a top Hamas military commander, as well as hitting 19 other targets in Gaza. An immediate wail went up from the surrounding area. Continued...
The Arab reaction? Egypt pulled its ambassador out of Israel, and demanded meetings of the United Nations Security Council and the Arab League, citing Israel's "wanton aggression on the Gaza Strip."
Oh, 750 rockets into Israel wasn't "wanton aggression"? Or calling for the destruction of the State of Israel (by Hamas) on a continual basis shouldn't be a "real" reason for Israel to refuse to deal with its neighbors, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank?
Then there's good old Syria, our "sore loser" runner-up for the week. President Assad let his tanks wander into the demilitarized zone between Israel and Syria, where they lobbed a few shells into Israel. Israel tried to leave the situation to the United Nations forces, not wanting to pick sides or allow Assad to draw them into the conflict.
However, the United Nations did absolutely nothing and after a few more errant shells hit the Golan, Israel shelled the Syrian wanderers. Result? The rebels accuse Israel of siding with Assad's government!
There must be a parallel universe in our midst -- one that most of us can't see, but one that losers see clearly. Obviously this parallel universe is chuckabluck full of the sourest grapes … and the only language spoken there is … whine!

Nokia publishes Windows Phone 8 developer resource
Windows Phone 8 was released last Friday, along with the Windows Phone 8 SDK for developers. We've previously looked at the SDK leak to see what's included in the package, and Nokia has now published an in-depth developer resource for Windows Phone developers to read up on. So what's new in Windows Phone 8?
With the change Microsoft made between Windows Phone 7.x and 8, developers have more scope for app and game development. New APIs are available for developers to take advantage of, enabling new functionality and simplifying already coded features. Nokia's resource walks readers though most of the significant API additions and alterations.
Be sure to head on over to Nokia website to read up on the article.

i'm sorta new at this, so forgive any dumb questions.does a good firewall,anti-spyware and anti-virus program protect against key-logging,or is key logging a seperate issue? if you click on a dubious website,have you effectively allowed a keylogging program go to work? how does one disable the keylogger that comes with XP? does using FIREFOX alleviate keylogging? why are there anti-keylogging programs?

There are no dumb questions TattooTeddy, especially when it comes to securing your expensive machine
. The same quesions that you are asking I've wondered myself. I'm sorry that I can't answer your question
but I do know that Spybot Search and destroy has many keyloggers that it will remove. Here are some links
Spybot S&D Overview
Spybot S&D Free Download
When you open up Spybot, In Mode Click Advanced Mode, click settings, ignore products, and click the keyloggers.sbi tab. Here you will see all the keyloggers that Spybot downloads. Take caution in the advanced mode though as it is only recommended for advanced users. This link features keylogger killing software (
But I can't recommend any of it as I haven't tried any of the software listed
Hope this helps

I've been keylogged once before
...Spy Sweeper detected the keylogger but when it was removed it came back when I rebooted. I had to use HJT and manually delete all traces of the keylogger to get rid of it for good.
And...Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I dont believe clicking on a bad link would automatically download a keylogger into your comp w/o your knowledge like with spyware. Keyloggers are programs like every other program where you get prompted to save to a disk or to just open it. Just make sure you dont download anything that you remotely suspect might be a scam and dont open email attachments from unknown senders! Also, make sure you scan all your email attachments even if its from a person you know and trust.
Someone used a keylogger to break into my friend's email address, and the invader sent me the same keylogger in an attachment and said it was a "funny video." I made the mistake of not scanning the attachment because I thought it was my friend who sent it to me...So it just goes to show, you can't be TOO safe.

Spy Cop claims to specialize in keyloggers
you could also try spybot, update, immuniazerun a full scan
and ad-aware- update- full scan
install spywareblaster
install a hosts file
keep your os and av up to date
use a different firewall than xp- it only checks in, it does not stop a keylogger from phoneing home
since you are running xp you could run the EWIDO trial
keep it after the trial period as a scanner
microsoft anti spyware will give you some real time protection and scanner is ok also
if using ie lock it down and install ie-spyads
run ccleaner
then defrag
reset rollback
anything that can't be erased or comes back post a HJT in the help forum
read all the stickies in this forum
hope you are on dsl

A good firewall should top the list for defending against keyloggers. Not the one that comes with XP. It doesn't control outgoing traffic, which is what conventional keyloggers and a lot of adware rely on. I've never owned an XP unit so I can't address the built in keylogger question. I've heard both ways on that question. Using Firefox does protect you to a degree against some drive-by installs as compared to IE6. This too is changing. As more people use FF, more are finding ways to exploit it.
As for actual anti-keylogger programs, few actually need a separate anti-keylogger. A lot of anti-trojan and anti-spyware programs also target keyloggers. If a keylogger is part of a law enforcement or government surveillance system, most wouldn't target it anyway. Most of the ones you find for sale, including the good ones, target the more paranoid users. That said, I have a trial version of one I'm saving until I "need it".
Aside from keeping everything up to date, patches, etc, probably the best way to keep from getting a keylogger is to have a good process control program in place. Most of these are not for the new user. They require you to have a pretty good understanding of how your system works. Since I use win98, I'm limited to one choice for this kind of app, and it's still in beta. It's
System Safety Monitor
. The program is quite buggy at present, but will end up being one powerful security application. If you're not familiar with how an operating system works, don't install it. You might want to look at
Process Guard
if you're using XP or another NTFS based system. Not allowing unknown processes, which includes installers, to run on your system will keep out most keyloggers.

Very excellent advice again
You certainly continue without fail to confirm my suspicion that you are a live encyclopedia when it comes to ultimate protections & the programs that are the most likely to succeed.
I have to in all honesty second the nod on advice regarding
specifically. Even should something malicious come close or even land inside a machine you want to have ALL processes (Bases) fully "locked" to being entered, thus effectively trapping any unwanted entry into a corner with no place to transfer it's unit or call out to for extras to affect your good system.
I'm quite certain
is kept a steady research on this by his write-ups i seen before on SSM.
Well i concluded last month with a close-call of my own that even the AVG7 i keep on-board missed detecting from it's "resident" guard. KERIO 215 is a rules-based firewall that not only blocked the "outgoing connection attempt" but of course identified the culprit location affording the time to kill it off before relaying to any other files that also made the trip.
In similar manner, i just only recently tried
myself, in order to offer the additional cover and prevention against just such attempts and to my surprise discovered it is not only rule-based but in far greater proportions than i ever imagined!
Every single application and indeed movement! to when it transfers actions to another dll for example it seems are all indicated for (Allow/Block) status you can apply. That to me is just Magnificient!
will surely prove very formidable if not already, even in Beta stage it seems plenty enough in this current stage of development to drive your confidence level up several notches IMO.
can make much better case for it then i can and certainly explain it in better detail, but referring again to keyloggers and the like, nothing is more efficient for any system then preventing any entry that does drop inside from landing for all practical purposes, inside what to them just as well be a dead system.
That's yet another huge value to prevention and the total coverage against ALL sorts & fashions of virus/spyware/loggers etc.
Great Topic and replies. Thanks for the time today to add my comments to this.

Volcano Roll at Ryoko's, $13
When it comes to the Volcano Roll at Ryoko's, it's what's on the inside that counts. And whoever said peanut butter and jelly were the perfect match, obviously never tried this roll. The creamy sammie staple is smothered sans jelly into the roll for a smooth nutty flavor amongst the deep-fried shrimp, jalapeno, and cucumber. The family-owned establishment serves the innovative creation on a wooden platform with seaweed facing outward, and dishes out complimentary edamame with every order of sushi. Needless to say, we're nuts about this roll, and its well worth the hike up the steep Tenderloin slope to taste.
Ryoko's, 619 Taylor Street (between Sutter and Post streets); 415-775-1028.

Mercyhurst University Breaks Two Guinness Records
The first record was broken Friday afternoon. The first record was a new record, according to Philip Robertson, adjudicator from Guinness World Records. The first record broken was for most people rowing on a single erg in a 24-hour period. The number continued to grow throughout the night, but organizers say more than 500 people rowed.
The second record was for the 10 member rowing team to row the greatest distance on a rowing machine in a 24-hour period. The men's team broke the 251.99 thousand miles record (set by a Hungarian team in 2008) shortly before 7pm Friday evening.
Although the Mercyhurst community is celebrating both records being broken, Robertson said that the men's record has to be analyzed over the course of 5-6 weeks by Guinness officials.
