A community is rallying behind a little boy who is battle for his life.
Luke Landrum, 6, was born with a rare congenital heart defect and he just had a heart transplant.
To help the Grant County family cover the cost of the surgery, family and friends hosted a spaghetti lunch for the family.
The family said since Luke's surgery, his mother has had to quit her job to take care of him full time. His father is a pastor at a local church.
The "I Heart Luke" fundraising team held the lunch at the Grant County Extension Building.

Phil D. Jay of World Boxing News reports that IBF middleweight titleholder Daniel Geale has set up his first belt defense, and the news isn't particularly exciting. In fact, the fight sucks.
Geale (25-1, 15 KO) won the belt on the road in Germany from Sebastian Sylvester on May 7. The 30-year-old Aussie talked the talk about fighting world-class opponents after, but isn't following up on that, naming Eromosele Albert (24-4-1, 12 KO) as his first challenger.
Albert, 36, was a fringe contender at his peak, and he's past that now. He's obviously being set up as a "victory lap" opponent for Geale, who will face Albert in his native Tasmania. This is not a good omen for his reign, and gives the early impression that he's going to do what so many fighters have done in the four-belt era, which is basically hold a belt hostage, fighting at home against mediocre opponents.

First called Winnacunnet, the Indian name for pleasant pines, Hampton was one of four original New Hampshire towns established by the Massachusetts government. In 1638, the area, which included land now in Seabrook, Kensington, Danville, Kingston, East Kingston, Sandown, North Hampton, South Hampton, Hampton Falls, and Great Boar's Head, was settled by a group of parishioners led by Reverend Stephen Bachiler. The Reverend had previously preached in Hampton, England, and the town was incorporated as Hampton in 1639. Poet John Greenleaf Whittier was a direct descendant of Reverend Bachiler. Construction of the railroad in the 1850s made Hampton's oceanfront a popular resort.

The Credit Island Lodge is now another step closer to being renovated and returned to its former glory. A panel of almost a dozen people, listening to three design pitches and picking just one firm to reconstruct the Lodge.
After a fire during floods in early May, the Lodge was left a shell of its former self. There was debris on the ground and the roof was open to the sky. A task force debated for weeks about what should happen next, deciding the lodge needed to be rebuilt. And Wednesday, a panel determined Stanley Consultants should be the firm to do that.
Alderman Nate Brown says, "All the other candidates were fine. They were very good candidates, and it was good to see all the other options that were available. But with Stanley, that one stop shop, being able to hit the ground running, that's really what we were looking for."
Brown says everyone involved was looking for someone who could erase the images of a burning Lodge from our minds and replace them with something new. A new lodge that would embrace the past and become part of local families' futures.
"To be honest," Brown says. "I don't think it's gonna be that much different." Except he says, for Stanley's plan to bring the outside in and expand on this rendering. "They did talk about opening up the windows on the second floor and making it more, using the natural light to light the building." Using that second floor for public access. "There was an apartment up there for the manager and now that it's no longer there. We're basically dealing with this clean slate, so the sky's the limit on that."
And while a design firm has been chosen, a final plan has not been. Brown says consultants will reach out to other groups like runners, bikers and the Friends of Credit Island. "And basically take all that and meld it together into one grand design."
One he hopes will be up by spring, ready for families to use and ready to test if we see spring flooding. "That's what we're designing it to do, is live with the river. And so if a flood comes, that's fine, we're gonna design that into the concept and go from there.
Before this is a done deal, council members must approve the contract with Stanley Consultants. That's expected to happen at the November 13th meeting.

text: So... it looks like will be moving to Seattle after I graduate in May to attend grad school at UW. Having never been to Seattle (yet), where do you suggest that I live location wise? I would like to live close to the university (within walking distance if possible) where the rent on apartments is not too high. I'm sure I will have plenty more questions about Seattle and the outdoor world there but I have to find a place to live first haha. Any kind of advice is more than welcome.

15Lady Gaga Wonders Why Everyone's on Her Back About Her Weight and No One Says Sh-t to Adele
So Lady Gaga did this interview with the UK's Stylist magazine, and in it, the inevitable topic of her "weight gain" came up, and you will not believe what she says. Well, OK, you might believe it, because it was kind of revealed in the headline, but it's true. She's bringing Adele into this shit, and I don't even know why. Adele probably doesn't even know why, because Adele doesn't go on and on about her body shape or weight to the general public, because maybe it's not a big point of contention in her life. I guess that's the only reason I can come up with. Here's what Lady Gaga said to Stylist:
"I was acutely aware of some photos on the internet – my mum called me and was like, 'Did you gain weight?' – everybody was telling me about it, and I didn't really care. … When I heard it was on the news, where they talk about wars, the economy crashing and the election – I just thought, 'This is f-cking ridiculous.' I mean, what kind of example is that to a young girl sitting at home? … I thought, well I don't really care if they think I'm fat, because, quite honestly, I did gain about 30 pounds. Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of women."
First, would I be a c-nt for asking where all that "weight" that Lady Gaga put on went? Because we saw that whole set of photos up there, and then Lady Gaga was all walking around looking like this:
And currently, this is what she looks like:
I'm not saying that she didn't put on weight, and I'm not saying that she was Photoshopped initially, either. Because that's an entirely different argument for another day. But what I am saying is that it's kind of BS for Lady Gaga to be bringing Adele in on something of which she has no part, because you know what? Maybe Adele is just better than that, and Lady Gaga should know … well, better.

Pretty crass to bring Adele into this. Adele never paraded around in meat suits or pranced naked in videos. She's owned her body & her privacy from the start – something Ms Gaga never did. If its not a big deal (and honestly it isn't) why bring it up at all? Oh wait! I forgot. Bring it up to "help" her fans. She looks fine. Adele looks fine. More celebs need to have a few cupcakes & be happy & then no one would be commenting on 30 pounds.
I think she meant so what she gained weight, any weight that she gained is not a health issue and its not like shes gained that much. She goes on about adele saying shes great and has great confidence and in my opinion she was comparing how society looks at adele and says how great she is and be proud of her weight, but when lady gaga puts on a few pounds it becomes national news.
I think Gaga needs to understand that, unlike herself, Adele isn't a self absorbed, raging cunt…
fair enough
"Adele is bigger than me, how come nobody says anything about it? She's so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match."
She slams her hard and then quickly sucks up to her to try to cover it. Bitch.
HAAAAA 'zactly.
Is it an insult if its a fact? She has a valid point and people just love to hate her. Bigger girls are supposed to stay big or lose weight and small girls can't lose weight or gain without making national news, it's crazy.
Yes. Of course it is still an insult.
I'm trying to make sense of your question. Basically, it is an insult to call a fat lady fat, and I don't know why anyone would need that explained to them. Unless they don't understand the word *insult*.
Also, it's not true that thin girls get more pressure than fat girls. Everyone gets the same hateful pressure, from different directions.
I think people don't bother Adele about her weight because she has actual musical talent; something to offer other than her appearance and the weird things she does to it.
Well, for one thing, Adele doesn't go to the airpost in, like, a tube top with no pants on. So there's that. Lagerfeld has slammed Adele for being bigger than a stick. But mostly, I'm sick of women tearing each other down. Grow up Gaga. If you want to address the perception of female beauty and yadda yadda, cool, Don't drag other women into it.
I've never seen a picture of Adele exposing her boob or flashing her butt. She doesn't seem obsessed with her body like Gaga. She also can sing and doesn't have to do the all the tricks Gaga feels she needs to do, so maybe that's why people don't harp on Adeles' weight as much as her weight.
Gaga loved the attention, puh-leeze! And it was coke bloat, hence why she looks totally fine now.
Lady Gaga stated herself that no one payed her any attention until she took her clothes off. Her image is very much a part of her success.
Adele has simply been a voice from day one.
Are you people retarded or something? Gaga didn't even say anything bad about her

It turns out that speaking more than one language actually makes you smarter. Researchers are showing that learning more than one language changes the way the brain functions, increasing cognition.
Even babies who are exposed to two languages show increased cognition over babies who hear just one language. And the benefits remain well into our later years. Seniors who speak more than one language experience illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer's later than those who speak just one.
Yudhijit Bhattacharjee wrote about the findings for Sunday Review at The New York Times in Why Bilinguals Are Smarter.
Excerpts from Bhattacharjee's article:
- "The collective evidence from a number of such studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain's so-called executive function -- a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems and performing various other mentally demanding tasks."
- "The key difference between bilinguals and monolinguals may be more basic: a heightened ability to monitor the environment."
- "In a study comparing German-Italian bilinguals with Italian monolinguals on monitoring tasks, Mr. Costa and his colleagues found that the bilingual subjects not only performed better, but they also did so with less activity in parts of the brain involved in monitoring, indicating that they were more efficient at it."
- "Bilingualism's effects also extend into the twilight years. In a recent study of 44 elderly Spanish-English bilinguals, scientists ... found that individuals with a higher degree of bilingualism ... were more resistant than others to the onset of dementia and other symptoms of Alzheimer's disease: the higher the degree of bilingualism, the later the age of onset."
It may be time to brush off my Spanish, French, and Norwegian, none of which I can speak any longer. What about you? Which languages do you speak?

Texas Tech rested its starters in the 2nd half of last weeks game, needing only two quarters to pull away. Chances are the Red Raiders can expect a full four quarters of action Thursday night.
The 24th ranked TCU Horned Frogs invade Jones AT&T Stadium at 6:30 p.m. in front of a national TV audience on ESPN as the game marks the Big 12 opener for each team.
The Red Raiders barely broke a sweat last week crushing its FCS competition, Stephen F. Austin, 61-13. Quarterback Baker Mayfield picked up right where he left off from Week 1 with another stellar performance completing 21-of-30 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns. The freshman even utilized his legs, rushing for 66 yards, giving him 114 through two games on 21 carries.
"As a young quarterback, its survival mode a lot of times out there," Kingsbury said about his quarterback's ability to run. "He did a great job extending plays, keeping plays and made some huge third downs with his feet last week. As he continues to progress in our offense, hopefully he'll know when to run and when to hang in there and throw the ball. We're still working through that."
Mayfield has also thrown for 780 yards, which is third most in the FBS, and a conference, high seven touchdowns with no interceptions and a 71.1 completion percentage.
But he won't be the only two-dimensional quarterback on the field tonight as Trevone Boykin gets the start for TCU now that Casey Pachall is out for the foreseeable future with a broken bone in his non-throwing hand. He suffered the injury in last week's win over Southeastern Louisiana, 38-17. In relief, Boykin completed 9-of-13 passes for 133 yards and two scores, while rushing for 35 yards on five carries.
"When he's in there I feel as comfortable as I do with Casey, and everybody on the team feels the same way," running back B.J. Catalon said. "Boykin can make plays with his feet and throw the ball."
"He just makes plays with his legs that Casey hasn't, but Casey makes some plays with his arm that Treveone doesn't do," coach Gary Patterson said. "But it's two weeks in a row he came in and did some good things."
This isn't the first time Texas Tech goes up against Boykin as the dual threat quarterback threw for a career best of 332 yards and four touchdowns in last years triple overtime thriller between these teams, eventually won by the Red Raiders, 56-53.
Wear black tonight as it is blackout night at the Jones in addition to the Lone Star Pride game. Rumor has it Texas Tech will be showing off its new gray uniforms for the nationally televised contest.
Also, be sure and keep the channel locked on KCBD Newschannel 11's Raider Zone countdown to kick-off, live broadcast from Jones AT&T Stadium tonight at 6 p.m.

Bruce Charlton's "Thought Prison"
14 08 11 - 18:55One of the modern thinkers I can handle, Bruce Charlton, interprets Christianity in a "pagan" animistic method and applies this to Traditionalism and defense of European culture and the fundamental concept of conservatism, which is valuing results over methods.

We are getting an allocated memory error. Does this theme require more than the 32 that most web hosting companies allocate?
Nope it requires the PHP memory as does need Joomla!
The standard PHP allocation is 32M….this theme requires more (maybe a Gantry thing?)...we had to bump to 64M. Would be good to know in the documentation.
- Colombia
- Has been a member for 5-6 years
- Bought between 10 and 49 items
- Sold between 100 and 1 000 dollars
Does this template come with a "Quickstart" version? – a version with all the content from the LIVE PREVIEW?
Yes it comes with QuickStart package. That means using it you will get a site like the demo within few seconds then you just have to change the contents accordint to your needs.
Hi there, after purchasing your template, I failed installing the Quickstart Package… I unzipped the package und uploaded all files into a dedicated subfolder of my webspace (for testing). But when I try to open this folder in any browser, all I get is an 404 error…
Anything I missed here? Thanks for your support!
Dear customer, I think your upoad process was not done correctly. The best way is to upload the Quickstart.zip directly (without unzipping it) to your server using FTP. After the zip package is uploaded then unzip it on your sever using your hosting's control panel. Then it will definitely work fine. Because sometimes when you upload a very big file using FTP , then most of the times the uploading process is not done correctly because of some network connection errors. That's why we recommend first upload then unzip. Thank you.
I'm planning to buy this template as I could say that this is an awesome one.
I would just like to ask if it's possible to integrate an e-commerce plugin to this template.
Yes you can use any e-commerce plugin that is available for Joomla. Thank you
Great! Thanks for your quick response!
Hi, nice template. Is it possible to customize the (whole page) background for each article / menue item?
Regards, Pit
Dear customer, Please PM me your problem. Our support assistant will fix all issues for you. Thank you.
...it´s a pre-sale question…so thanks for your offer.
Yes it is possible by overriding. You just have to use the control panel of the template and don't need to do any coding. After you purchase just PM me I will give you detailed instruction on how to achieve it. Thank you
is it possible to use the template for joomla 3.0
Great theme! Just wondering if there is any way to remove some of the white blank space at the top of the template where the "suffix-promo" can optionally be? I have the "promo" turned off, and is not being used, but would like to eliminate that entire white space that remains on the template. Thank you!
It´s look a great template, it works fine with joomla3? I would like to buy this item but I have a joomla 3 installation in my site.
Hi, I installed the starter kit and got the site up and running. After i updated joomla and also updated the modules, the images on the K2Items stay fixed on a position on the center-top of the page, on top of the rest of the content (when scrolling the page, the images stay in the same place).
You can check it live at http://www.ddzconsultoria.com/component/k2/item/38-gestao-da-demanda
when i install corpora_quickstart then show Warning: "JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file" please help…
Dear customer, thank you for contacting me. Plz PM me
Hi, love the template but having trouble turning off the gk4 image show for an article that is linked from one of the images. It displays under the image show "slider" position. I have that module only shown on the "home" menu.
Is there a trick to ensure the gk4 image show module does not show up?
I am using joomla content, not K2 articles.
Thanks in advance!
Please PM me your question. My assistant will reply you. Thank you for being with us.
Hi dmsumon,
Thanks again for the nice and functional template. I have installed it and I am happy with it. I just need one modification in order to make it fully responsive.
As somebody can see in the main page of the demo site, the "Recent Projects" area is not correctly responsive. In small viewports only some of the published boxes are viewable and sometimes half of them.
Is it possible to set the initial number (4) of items in "Recent Projects", to become three in smaller screens and two on even smaller, so that the visitor can see all the Recent Projects, no matter what his screen size is?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Plz PM me your full issue
Thanks for the prompt answer.
hi, i've bought your template but i cannot edit text ON sliding pics (image show GK4 v. 1.32).
Specifically, i cannot specify where the text has to be shown (orizzontally, vertically, beside).
Desired effect is to have text ON sliding pics).
Tks for assistance Antonio

This is a PHP memory limit fatal error. You need at least memory_limit = 64M to run this template but 128M will be better. Don't worry most web hosting provider has options to increase their PHP memory limit using control panel. If you don't know how to do that then talk with your hosting providers assistants. We can also assist you on this issue but it will be better if you ask them first. Thank you

End credit card gouging
By Opinion Staff
The U.S. House has passed a credit-card holder's bill of rights, and the Senate is considering a similar measure. The bills contain reforms that should have been enacted long ago.
For example, they forbid credit card companies from charging a new, higher interest rate on existing balances. They also outlaw a method of calculating your bill — called double-cycle billing — which has the effect of increasing the balance on which the card holder owes interest.
Other reforms would put limits on credit cards issued to children and college students.
At a time when banks are receiving huge taxpayer subsidies and when irresponsible bank practices have caused an economic meltdown, these consumer reforms finally have a chance of passing. It isn't a done deal, however, as bank lobbyists continue to work feverishly to water down the changes. It's just too bad the reforms wouldn't be in place for nine months to a year.
Is there any argument in the banks' favor? Yes, they say that they need the profits to shore up the bottom line and help restore stability to the banking system, which in turn will expand credit and help consumers. On balance, we're not sympathetic to that claim.
Click "Continue reading" for highlights of the House and Senate bills.
Here, from the Associated Press, are highlights of the House and Senate bills:
— Takes effect a year after enactment, except for requirement of notice before interest rates are increased, which goes into effect in 90 days. The bill:
— Prohibits double-cycle billing and "retroactive" interest rate hikes on previous balances.
— Requires that customers receive 45 days notice before their interest rates are increased.
— Bans the issuance of credit cards to anyone under 18. Sets underwriting standards for credit cards for college students, including limiting credit lines if there is no co-signer, and requiring proof of income and credit history.
— Bans "pay-to-pay" fees, which are charged when someone pays their bill by phone or on the Internet. An exception is made for special speeded processing of payments requested by the card holder, for which fees can be levied.
— Allows individuals to set a credit limit for themselves that cannot be exceeded. If a bank approves a purchase that pushes the consumer above their limit, the bank cannot charge a fee.
—Requires that payments made by card holders that exceed the minimum monthly level are applied first to the portion of the remaining balance with the highest interest rate, and then to any other balances in descending order.
—Requires 30 days notice to consumers before their accounts are closed.
—Takes effect nine months after enactment.
—Bans double-cycle billing and retroactive rate increases.
—Requires that customers receive 45 days notice before rates are increased.
—Bans the issuance of credit cards to people under 21 unless they show they can repay the debt or complete a certified financial literacy course.
—Bans "pay-to-pay" fees.
—Restricts over-the-limit fees to one each billing cycle.
—Prevents card issuers from changing any terms of a contract so long as the card holder pays on time.

Donald Holder has been one of Broadway's top lighting designers for nearly two decades now, beginning in 1989 with Richard Greenberg's Eastern Standard. He is currently represented on Broadway with The Lion King, La Cage Aux Folles, All Shook Up, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Movin' Out, which BLMC attendees will be seeing on June 21 to get an idea of what great lighting design looks like. Holder shares his knowledge with BLMC attendees on June 22 when he talks about his special means and methods in using light to bring a Broadway show to life. Managing editor Mark A. Newman got the chance to interview Holder between gigs.
ED: What are the big trends you're seeing now?
Donald Holder: It's important to introduce the use of technology in the theatre. What's clearly happening now is that we're quickly acquiring and exploring all the technology used in more economically viable entertainment disciplines, specifically the whole idea of multimedia technology — video and sophisticated projection systems. I feel like if anything is the wave of the future it's the idea of how lighting, video, and projections interact and the idea of projections and video arrays as scenery, like in The Woman in White (ED, Jan. 2005). How do lighting designers fit in that new discipline in terms of the creative hierarchy? How do these people collaborate? This is what we're going to be dealing with in the next decade.
ED: So what can BLMC attendees expect from your talk this year?
DH: I want to talk about how technology should be used and drive home the point that nothing can replace a great idea. It all has to happen here [in the designer's imagination]. Theatre design has to be based on ideas, not on technical effects and wizardry. It all has to be related to the material and the director's vision.
Folks who come to the BLMC classes are also looking for some practical pointers and tips, not just high concepts. So, I'm considering a lecture on lighting cycloramas and backgrounds that was successful several years ago. I would like to discuss and set up a demonstration as well.
ED: Why do you feel cyc lighting is so important?
DH: The way backcloths — the surround of a space — are lit is so important and critical and so sensitive to the overall success of what a show looks like. It's important to discuss, and a lot of people don't know the best way to do it. If they learn from this seminar, they can take it back to where they come from, and that's as important as the high concept discussions that go on.
ED: How have you seen the role of the lighting designer change with technology?
DH: With the introduction of this new technology, and the overall state of playwriting, there seems to be a trend toward greater fluidity onstage to create more cinematic and effortless movement from scene to scene. Writers are writing things that need instant transformation with scenes that quickly jump from place to place and moment to moment. Writing is getting more sophisticated and nonlinear. All of this has to be articulated and realized through the lighting designer, especially with the trend of minimizing scenery. The tendency with each passing year is that the LD or the lighting design will fill in the gaps and provide the visual vocabulary to help tell the story in a more profound way than it did 10 years ago. Writers are seeing potency and power of lighting, and it's clear how light can function in theatre.
ED: What do you think caused this realization?
DH: The introduction of affordable moving lights. Now every show has them, even smaller shows way off Broadway. The need and expectations for much more detail and specificity is a day-to-day thing. Everybody expects it now. Now lighting designers are under more stress to produce more detailed design in the same amount of time. We have tremendous technology and tools at our fingertips now, and every year it gets more sophisticated. We're allowed to do more subtle and powerful things on stage, but the amount of time has not increased and, in many ways, it's decreased. For example, in Movin' Out, the lighting is almost like another character. That sophistication and density of design couldn't have been pulled off visually 10 years ago.
ED: So it seems like the theatrical LD is finally being viewed as an equal with the rest of the creative team.
DH: To be a lighting designer is very exciting, but it's a huge responsibility with each passing year. There's this sense I get that the LD can fix everything. It's flattering and exciting, but with each passing decade, the role of the LD has become increasingly more prominent. We're clearly a partner in the process. Nobody can say that the LD contributes less or is less a partner than anybody else on the team. That trend is continuing.
ED: This is a good thing, right?
DH: It is. It's very exciting.
ED: It's better to be an equal than an afterthought.
DH: Absolutely. I welcome the change; I just wish they would give us more time. For example, for the first pass of All Shook Up in Chicago, we had to light it in four-and-a-half days; that's a lot to ask for a show that size. If you're going to step into the arena of Broadway, then you have to be prepared to step up to the plate and you have to produce very quickly. Certainly, it's very exciting and it's very thrilling. I've been working as a lighting designer for a lot of years now, and today I feel like we're getting more responsibility. That's fantastic, as long you're prepared.
ED: Have you seen your own skill sets change over the years?
DH: Yeah. Automated lighting is something you need to know. If you don't know how to do that, I don't know if you would have as much work. Some designers don't deal with moving lights, but I wouldn't be able to survive. When I first started out, the digital age was not there. Everything was handcrafted. It would take me a day or more just to write out the hook up and instrument schedule and the chance of it being correct were pretty slim. It's incredible to compare where we are today to where we were in the mid '80s. Everything has to be produced five times as fast. Unless you can produce using all this technology, it would be difficult to function in today's entertainment industry. Every day something comes out that you need to be up to speed on and to apply in your own work.
ED: Does new technology change your creative process?
DH: My process — the way I think about, create, light, carve out a stage space, and the way I see theatre — has not changed. My approach to the work will never change. All this new technology is all peripheral as far as I'm concerned. Ultimately, it's about an actor in the space with a light. It's about revealing a world in real time and being in an intimate setting with an actor and the spoken word and music. That's what excites me. I love all the new toys, but what excites me is being in the theatre and being a part of the creative process and being moved by the material I'm working on.
ED: But has newer technology made the "old school" methods irrelevant?
DH: People ask me if I think moving lights will ever replace the tungsten/halogen ellipsoidal spotlight and I don't see it happening, at least not for me. There's an elegance to simplicity in being able to turn on a light and carve out a space with that beautiful incandescent glow. That's something I would never want to lose in the theatre. There is something tangible and more human than a lot of the other stuff we're using today, despite how spectacular it can be or how wonderful it enhances the stage picture. The simple things, the building blocks, won't disappear. Without them the work is soulless.
ED: So what does your crystal ball say the future holds for the lighting designer?
DH: Lighting is going to become more and more automated. There's going to be a tendency to use more and more automated, pre-programmed remote control fixtures. The handwriting on the wall is that we all need to understand and develop an acuity for the multimedia/video element that seems to be quickly approaching. LDs, based on what I've read in your publications, are being asked more and more to create yet another visual component. The background, once suggested by the cyclorama, is now filled with content and the way the content is manifested and integrated into the lighting is going to become the LD's responsibility.
The other tendency that's quickly approaching in the commercial Broadway theatre environment has to do with control, or rather the consolidation of control systems. We have to rethink our traditional process of programming and constructing shows cue-wise. Today, we program and construct a show with two consoles for moving lights and conventional lighting, which are controlled via separate desks and are linked together via a MIDI signal, but that's becoming economically prohibitive and inefficient. We're seeing a tendency to incorporate all lighting control into a signal processor. It sounds simple, but it means that the syntax we're familiar with and the way we construct light cues has to be rethought. The days of programming as we know it are quickly ending. It's the responsibility of me and my colleagues to learn about different ways to control and program our shows. It's a scary step because you hang on to what you're familiar with.
We all have to go back to school to a certain extent.

Hartland dad accused of giving pot to kids
Village of Hartland - A 39-year-old Hartland man has been charged with maintaining a drug trafficking place and possession of drugs after someone called police to say the man gives marijuana to his sons and their teenage friends.
According to the criminal complaint filed Feb. 6 in Waukesha County Circuit Court, Hartland Police searched Joel Jamieson's home in the 800 block of Imperial Drive, on Sept. 4, 2012, after obtaining a search warrant based on a tip. The complaint said police found drug paraphernalia and 21 packages of Suboxone strips. According to drugs.com, Suboxone is an opioid similar to morphine.
Jamieson admitted to police that he, his wife and children use marijuana, according to the complaint. It said Jamieson said he and his wife smoke marijuana every day, and that he and his wife "turn a blind eye to our children smoking marijuana," because they would rather they use the drug close to home so they know where they are and they don't get into other problems, the complaint stated.
Jamieson also told police, according to the complaint, that his kids usually smoke in a shed in the backyard. He said they once started to grow a marijuana plant in the shed, but after the police began coming to the house for various complaints, he told them to clean it out, the complaint said.
He denied selling marijuana to his children or their friends, stating his children have to use their own money to buy their own marijuana, the complaint said. Jamieson said he has a prescription for the Suboxone, and police asked him for proof of that, the complaint said.
He is charged with a felony count of maintaining a drug trafficking place and two misdemeanor counts of possession of paraphernalia and a controlled substance. His initial appearance is Feb. 18. If convicted, he could face more than $10,000 in fines, driver's license suspension and more than three years in jail.

States told to increase power generation, cut losses
Our Bureau
New Delhi , May 30
The Centre today asked State Governments to increase power generation capacities and reduce commercial losses to make the electricity sector financially viable and encourage greater private participation.
"Many States have not added any significant capacity in the last 5-10 years. This has worsened the power scenario in the country," the Power Minister, Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde, said at a meeting with power and energy secretaries of States here.
According to the Miinster, while Central public sector units have added substantial generation capacity, most States have lagged behind. Mr Shinde said that the Ministry would take up the matter of States not spending their allocated funds on capacity expansion with the Planning Commission. The efficiency level of State utilities is far below that of the national average, he said. Moreover, Aggregate Technical and Commercial (ATC) losses in some States were as high as 70 per cent, he said, and asked States to cut overall losses to ensure viability.
The Planning Commission Deputy Chairman, Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia, said while average ATC losses were about 40 per cent for the country, the Government should aim at reducing it to 15 per cent in the next few years. Loss reduction should be given greater thrust than new capacity addition, he said.

Kicking it up a notch, the Obama campaign has changed its slogan in the last few days from "Forward." to "Forward!"—
Mary Bruce (@marykbruce) October 27, 2012
Aw, man. We were really hoping Team Obama would go with his supporters' suggestion of "foward" for a new campaign slogan.
But no. The president is putting all his eggs in the exclamation point basket as the campaign enters the final stretch.
My Obama Forward Sign I got at the rally instagr.am/p/ROY3W2OhxJ/—
Stanley Johnson (@Mr_Handsome_) October 26, 2012
This is what desperation looks like: unfulfilled hope and punctuation change.
How did I not notice the slogan change to 'Forward!'? It's got an exclamation point and everything. #potus—
Angela Peralta (@AWomanDidSea) October 24, 2012
Just noticed that #Forward campaign slogan is now spelled with an exclamation point instead of a period. Waning momentum?—
Bruce Ward (@baward49) October 24, 2012
Possible prediction for next week:
Obama's campaign slogan goes from "FORWARD." to "FORWARD!" All caps— check. Exclamation mark— check. Next slogan: "FORWARD!!!!11one"—

I just wanted to quickly thank everyone for coming out last night (or saying they were sorry that couldn't come out last night). I had a great time and it was great to put faces to names.
Some highlights for me in no particular order:
- AJ singing California
- Tripon rick rolling the bar
- Eric's "fuck the giants" commentary during "Through With You" by Eve 6
- Delias man's song choice (it was delightfully unexpected)
- Eric singing Regulators. By himself.
- Dave getting down to some Billy Idol
- Craig classing up the joint not just once (Under My Skin) but twice (We Love L.A.)
- Josie doing a SOMERSAULT during Knights of Cydonia; I hope she goes for the barrel roll next time.
- Reg saying "This song goes out to anyone who wants to live forever" before singing "Live Forever"
- Grimjack getting grilled about whether or not he likes the Lakers and answering "I'm a hockey fan", thoroughly confusing the man asking him.
- Nolander's bravery in bringing his super cute wife to the event
Again, thanks for everyone showing up. Not to be too gushy and mushy and lame, but y'all are a really great bunch of people and I'm honored to annoy most of you on a daily basis over the internet. :)

Third Generation Six-Axis System for Machining Formed Metal Parts
The LASERDYNE 430 series of systems from Prima Power Laserdyne are designed for cutting, welding and drilling of 2D and 3D drawn, thermoformed, hydroformed, punched, stamped and spun metal parts.
Prima Power Laserdyne, LLC (Champlin, MN) introduces their LASERDYNE 430 series of systems designed for cutting, welding and drilling of 2D and 3D drawn, thermoformed, hydroformed, punched, stamped and spun metal parts.
This laser system can also integrate LASERDYNE'S BeamDirector® motion and process control capabilities in a space efficient platform coupled with a fiber laser. The 430 BeamDirector is also capable of drilling shaped holes and welding a wide range of materials ranging from copper to stainless steel and to titanium.
Combining higher velocity and acceleration, this third generation BeamDirector® features an exclusive contouring head that provides C (rotary) axis motion of 900 deg, and D (tilt) axis motion of 300 degrees. This latest BeamDirector® laser beam positioning capability with rotary table provides a six-axis system enabling new manufacturing processes while improving existing ones.
A demonstration of the LASERDYNE 430 doing 3D cutting.
Among the 430's proven features are the SP94P control, which includes a full complement of standard hardware and software features. These include Automatic Focus Control™ for capacitive part sensing, patented Optical Focus Control (OFC) for sensing of thermal barrier coated surfaces, ShapeSoft™ software for programming shaped holes, BreakThrough Detection™ for drilling clean, consistent holes with the minimum number of pulses, and mapping. The SP94P control also allows the customer to use programs created for different LASERDYNE systems with little or no modification.
A demonstration of the LASERDYNE 430 welding.
Additional features for improved accuracy and repeatability include optical encoders, higher assist gas air-flow, optical encoders, adjustable mirrors for easy and accurate beam alignment, and cassette mounted lens and cover slides for quick, accurate changeover.
The LASERDYNE 430 BeamDirector® operates at speeds up to 800 ipm in all axes (0−20 m/min) with bidirectional accuracy of 0.0005 in (12.7 micrometer). This accuracy is throughout the system's 585 mm x 408 mm x 508 mm work envelope, making it ideal for demanding process validation and reliability requirements. Accuracy of the new system is certified to ISO 230–1:1996 and 230–2:2006 in accordance with Prima Power Laserdyne's standard accuracy and repeatability test procedures.
Achieving a high level of accuracy from prototype to production stages and from one job to another is possible because everything works together in a coordinated manner – the controller, software, motion system, laser and process sensors.
A good example of this is the Automatic Focus Control (AFC™) feature that has been continuously refined so that both hardware and software is leading edge. AFC precisely guides the motion system, maintaining critical focus position and following the contour of the part regardless of slight surface irregularities.
With AFC, all machine axes react to sensing of the part surface, creating unlimited R-axis correction with high speed and unmatched sensitivity. AFC allows top machine speeds so productivity is maximized without downtime or scrapped parts.

"A study involving 38,000 individuals showed that the absolute risk reduction of the vaccine is 1.7 percent, which needs to be weighed against the risks. We don't know if it remains effective past four years. It can't be given to anyone who is immune-compromised or takes steroids.
"I personally believe that there are safer, more natural ways to boost your immune system, which what this vaccine does. This includes assuring that you eat well-balanced, nutritionally sound meals and that you exercise regularly and take steps to reduce stress."
