Bantock: Orchestral Music

Bantock's most celebrated choral work is his setting of the Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyám in Edward Fitzgerald's translation. In fact Omar Khayyám was unknown before Fitzgerald found the manuscript in an oriental volume in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The popularity of Fitzgerald's translation of the eleventh-century Persian astronomer, mathematician and poet is a notable literary phenomenon of Victoria's reign, but it took some time to become established. Published privately in 1859, it was quickly remaindered, and not reviewed until 1870, nor Fitzgerald publicly identified as the translator until 1875. Yet by the turn of the century it was probably the most popular English poetry of its day.
Initially Fitzgerald translated 75 quatrains, but he went on adding to it, and the fifth edition, of 101 quatrains, was published posthumously in 1889. It was the latter that Bantock set. He was thus working with a popular work of his day, including some of the best known words in the English language.
In setting it, Bantock also had to consider another issue. In 1896 the composer Liza Lehmann had a big success with her selective setting which she called In a Persian Garden, for four soloists and piano. This was well established by the time Bantock came to the words, and it meant that a version that amateurs could sing on a domestic scale was already a popular favourite. Bantock in his complex and expansive approach produced something that, even in individual numbers, few amateurs could attempt, and it only briefly caught on with local choral societies.
The music is in three parts, first produced separately in 1906, 1907 and 1909. The first part was written for the Birmingham Festival in 1906, the same year as Elgar's The Kingdom, parts two and three following at Cardiff in 1907 and Birmingham again in 1909. The first complete performance was in London, at Queen's Hall, on 15 February 1910.

Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Solid BJJ Belt

About Me Gym Rat
This is a great belt. It's very durable and will stand the test of time. I bought an A1 and have a 29" waist and it fits me perfectly. It would probably be good for anyone from a 26"-32" waist. Additionally, it rarely come undone while rolling which is a plus.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Went through a few belts before settling on this one. Length was given in the description so that was nice. Not too stiff and has good color (blue).
Great Belt!
By Wookieman2
from Fort Benning, GA
I've actually had this belt since 2007 (its now 2012). I've had to move around a lot being in the military, so my BJJ training has been a little here, a little there. One of the most noticable things about this belt is that it never comes untied. My belt is the last to come untied when we're rolling. Usually, after a few rounds, while everyone else is grabbing thier belts off the mat, I'm un-tieing mine because that's easier than tucking my gi back in to the belt. This year, some of the stitching has started to unravel a little, but the belt isn't falling apart by any means. Fortunately, I should be getting my next belt soon. I'm a very particular when it comes to my belt, I am looking at different brands out of curiosity to find the very best (looking at maybe an Isami or Hayabusa), but if another belt doesn't work out, I'll be right back to my Koral in a heart beat!

NYC High School Students Graduate from Museum Research Program
by AMNH on
The sense of accomplishment–and promise of things to come–was palpable last week as more than 40 students from high schools across New York City graduated from the Museum's Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP), which pairs Museum researchers with New York City teens for two years of intensive research on an original project.
"Being in this program helped me pick my major," said Anastasia Bromberg, a senior at Brooklyn Technical High School who studied the diversity of snakes in Southeast Asia and will be attending the University of Miami in the fall. "I was thinking about psychology but now I know I want to be a researcher in marine biology. This program cemented that."

Preparing Fossils at the Museum
by AMNH on
Fossil preparation requires an uncommon degree of adaptability and patience. Museum preparators bring to the task diverse sets of skills from such backgrounds as art, paleontology, and archaeology. They generally learn their craft on the job, drawing from related fields such as object conservation to adapt modern glues, solvents, and other archival materials to stabilize fragile areas or repair damage.
Watch as Justy Alicea, a preparator at the American Museum of Natural History, works on a specimen and offers a tour of the Museum's fossil preparation lab. And for more about fossil preparation, read this story, which originally appeared in the Summer 2010 issue of the Members' magazine Rotunda.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is refusing to rule out the possibility of signing club great Thierry Henry on loan for the second consecutive season.
"I've not lost interest in him," Wenger says Friday, "but I haven't spoken about it with him at all."
Henry spent two months on loan at the Premier League side midway through last season, scoring two goals — both game winners. He scored a club-record 226 goals with Arsenal from 1999-2007.
Henry, 35, is currently training with Arsenal during the New York Red Bulls' offseason.
"He has had a second spell at the club that was very successful," Wenger said. "You have to be cautious that it's not one time too many."

Freewheeling capitalism or collectivist communism: when it came to political-economic systems, did the twentieth century present any other choice? Does our century? In Third Ways, social historian Allan Carlson tells the story of how different thinkers from Bulgaria to Great Britain created economic systems during the twentieth century that were by intent neither capitalist nor communist. Unlike fascists, these seekers were committed to democracy and pluralism. Unlike liberal capitalists, they refused to treat human labor and relationships as commodities like any other. And unlike communists, they strongly defended private property and the dignity of persons and families. Instead, the builders of these alternative economic systems wanted to protect and renew the "natural" communities of family, village, neighborhood, and parish. They treasured rural culture and family farming and defended traditional sex roles and vital home economies.
Carlson's book takes a fresh look at distributism, the controversial economic project of Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton which focused on broad property ownership and small-scale production; recovers the forgotten thought of Alexander Chayanov, a Russian economist who put forth a theory of "the natural family economy"; discusses the remarkable "third way" policies of peasant-led governments in post-World War I Bulgaria, Poland, and Romania; recounts the dramatic and largely unknown effort by Swedish housewives to defend their homes against radical feminism; relates the iconoclastic ideas of economic historian Karl Polanyi, including his concepts of "the economy without markets" and "the great transformation"; and praises the efforts by European Christian Democrats to build a moral economy on the concept of homo religious—"religious man."
Finally, Carlson's work explains why these efforts—at times rich in hope and prospects—ultimately failed, often with tragic results. The tale inspires wistful regret over lost opportunities that, if seized, might have spared tens of millions of lives and forestalled or avoided the blights of fascism, Stalinism, socialism, and the advent of the servile state. And yet the book closes with hope, enunciating a set of principles that could be used today for invigorating a "family way" economy compatible with an authentic, healthy, and humane culture of enterprise.

|What They're Saying...
"Allan Carlson is a master at uncovering long forgotten thinkers and obscure crusaders who offer bright insights into the dilemmas of our own time. This book teaches that many of the familiar polarities of our thought—capitalism/socialism, freedom/patriarchy, conservation/progress, faith/science—are not necessary divisions, and that many more promising 'third way' resolutions lay waiting to be rediscovered."
"One can always be sure that when reading Allan C. Carlson's works you'll thereafter be able to see the wood for the trees…His latest work…canvasses a long-ignored and largely forgotten public policy tradition that was shoved aside, at times forcibly, by what Carlson calls 'freewheeling capitalism and collective communism.' Carlson concludes that almost all the cultural devices, laws and regulations devised by architects of the diverse Third Ways then being promoted ultimately had two purposes: [One] to protect the altruism rooted in self-denial that defines the healthy bonds of wife to husband, parent to child, neighbour to neighbour, and generation to generations; and [Two] to prevent family-oriented altruism from being supplanted by Nanny State intrusions, since this will inevitably lead to Belloc's Servile State."
"Again, Allan Carlson has given us a tour de force, showing how collectivism and economic rationalism both undermine the bedrock contribution families make to western civilization."
"Carlson alerts us that this 'third way' is the only real path to independence and self-government in an age in which the Servile State insinuates itself ever more deeply into the fabric of our lives. Friends of liberty everywhere should read this book."
"Carlson limns the premises and achievements of seven such alternatives and considers that they failed or waned… Common to all seven [alternatives] is recognition of the family rather than the individual as the essential unit of society. As Carlson cogently discusses them, all can enlighten and inspire those seeking contemporary alternatives to global industrial capitalism."
"This is an enjoyable and informative read, and anyone interested in building-or rebuilding-a economy based on realism will find it useful. I believe that the usefulness of this book will increase as we come to realize the increasing unreality (and weaknesses) of the current economy. Eventually, reasonable men will want answers, practical answers, to the hard questions that will soon overtake us. This book is a good start towards giving those answers."
"Carslon's Third Ways not only shows the importance of Christian thinking for the twentieth century but also for twenty-first century political economics. Christian charity, personal responsibility, and the family as the chamber of liberty can regain prominence only when the welfare state fails. However, external economic factors and utilitarian motives are limited in what they can do to restore people's personal and public morality. Since the real crisis of the West is of a moral and personal nature, the answer needs to be both moral and personal. This will also make it practical."

A most common mechanism used to secure traffic from Apigee Edge to your backend service is Client SSL. Client SSL provides authentication and encryption of all messages flowing over the network from Apigee Edge to your services.
For last-mile security, another option is to use outbound authentication, which requires an API proxy to present a credential to the backend service. For more information, see Last-mile security.
Node.js: If your proxy target is a Node.js application, you can use the Node.js
tls module to create secure connections to backend services. You make outgoing requests with the
tls module the same way you would normally in Node.js. Basically, you need to add client-side keys and certificates (.pem files) to the resources/node directory and load them inside your script. For information on using the
tls module and its methods, see the Node.js tls module documentation. For more information, see Understanding Edge support for Node.js modules.
Step 1: Generate client credentials
To configure client SSL for mutual authentication between Apigee Edge and your backend server, you require a public/private key pair and an X.509 certificate. The certificate can be issued by a certificate authority, or it can be self-signed by the private key that you generate. If you have access to a CA, follow instructions provided by your CA for generating keys and issuing certificates. If you do not have access to a CA, you can generate a self-signed certificate using one of the many publicly available free tools, such as openssl.
Apigee Edge supports key sizes up to 2048 bits.
Step 2: Create a JAR file containing your keystore
Create a JAR file with your key pair, certificate, and a manifest. The JAR file must contain the following files and directories:
myKey.pem(Passphrase is optional)
A keystore can contain only one certificate.
Create a directory called
/META-INF. Create a file called
descriptor.properties in
/META-INF with the following contents:
certFile={myCertificate}.pem keyFile={myKey}.pem
Generate the JAR file containing your key pair and certificate:
$ jar -cf myKeystore.jar myCert.pem myKey.pem
descriptor.properties to your JAR file:
$ jar -uf myKeystore.jar META-INF/descriptor.properties
Step 3: Create keystore on Apigee Edge
You must upload the keystore file to an environment in your Apigee Edge organization, and then reference this file in your target endpoint configuration.
First check your environment for any existing keystores:
$ curl -u myname:mypass -X GET https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores
[ "freetrial" ]
Check the contents of the keystore. At a minimum, you should see a single server SSL certificate — the default certificate that Apigee Edge provides for free trial accounts.
$ curl -u myname:mypass https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores/freetrial
{ "certs" : [ "wildcard.apigee.net.crt" ], "keys" : [ "freetrial" ], "name" : "freetrial" }
Create your own keystore in the environment:
Sample request:
$ curl -u myname:mypass https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d '<KeyStore name="myKeystore"/>'
Sample response:
{ "certs" : [ ], "keys" : [ ], "name" : "myKeystore" }
Step 4: Upload keystore JAR to Apigee Edge
Sample request:
$ curl -u myname:mypass -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F file="@myKeystore.jar" 'https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores/{myKeystore}/keys?alias={key_alias}&password={key_pass}'
Verify that your keystore uploaded properly:
$ curl -u myname:mypass https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores/myKeystore
Sample response:
{ "certs" : [ "myCertificate" ], "keys" : [ "myKey" ], "name" : "myKeystore" }
You now have a private key available for mutual authentication between the specified environment in your organization on Apigee Edge and your backend service. If you are using a self-signed certificate instead of a certificate issued by a CA, then you must import the self-signed certificate to the trust store on the target server. To do so, refer to the instructions for the target server where your backend service is deployed.
Step 5: Configure TargetEndpoint for client SSL
In the TargetEndpoint configuration for your API proxy, add the following elements to the
HTTPConnection configuration:
<ClientAuthEnabled>true</ClientAuthEnabled> <KeyStore>myKeystore</KeyStore> <KeyAlias>myKey</KeyAlias>
For example:
<TargetEndpoint name="default"> <HTTPTargetConnection> <SSLInfo> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <ClientAuthEnabled>true</ClientAuthEnabled> <KeyStore>myKeystore</KeyStore> <KeyAlias>myKey</KeyAlias> </SSLInfo> <URL>https://myservice.com</URL> </HTTPTargetConnection> </TargetEndpoint>
If no ciphers are specified, then all ciphers available for the JVM will be permitted.
To restrict ciphers, add the following elements to
<Ciphers> <Cipher>TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA</Cipher> <Cipher>TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA</Cipher> </Ciphers>
If no protocols are specified, then all protocols available for the JVM will be permitted.
To restrict protocols, add the following elements to
<Protocols> <Protocol>TLSv1</Protocol> <Protocol>SSLv2Hello</Protocol> </Protocols>
Step 6: Configure a trust store
To validate the backend server's SSL certificate, create and upload a trust store containing the server's certificate. Name the trust store, for example,
First, create an empty trust store in the environment.
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d \ '<KeyStore name="myTruststore"/>' \ https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores \ -u myname:mypass
Then upload the certificate to the trust store you created.
Note that in this example, the file that you upload is not a JAR file. Instead, it is a PEM file.
$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F file="@trust.pem" \ "https://api.enterprise.apigee.com/v1/o/{org_name}/environments/{env_name}/keystores/myTruststore/certs?alias=myTruststore" \ -u myname:mypass
Then, reference the uploaded trust store by its alias in
<TargetEndpoint name="default"> <HTTPTargetConnection> <SSLInfo> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <ClientAuthEnabled>true</ClientAuthEnabled> <KeyStore>myKeystore</KeyStore> <KeyAlias>myKey</KeyAlias> <TrustStore>myTruststore</TrustStore> </SSLInfo> <URL>https://myservice.com</URL> </HTTPTargetConnection> </TargetEndpoint>
Delete and recreate a keystore
If you delete and recreate a keystore, you must redeploy your API proxies.

Post subject: The OTHER Forum
We got word from the host that after 9 years, spammers finally found the BBS and posted like 400 messages in 20 minutes, apparently, all of them in the "schedule" topic which is the only part of DISCUS that spiders can find. The host shut the thing down until we can fix the problem.
I think the problem itself has a simple fix, but the host has hated discus (which uses a lot of processor energy) and is pressuring us to change to something else. I have told them that this is not really necessary (they don't agree) and in any case, would take a few days (they want discus permanently shut down as of an hour ago, but may agree to give me a week or two if we can fix the spammer problem).

Unfortunately, vBulletin lacks key functionality elements that Discus has.
Discus (by its nature) does something no other BBS software can do.
With one click, it can give you one screen listing every "new" message, a link to that message, and the first 40 characters of that message.
This is key to a BBS as huge as ours. Jean and I spend four times as much time and effort reading 1/20th as much information on this forum as we do on Discus, just because of that one feature. PHP makes us open folders and open topics and hunt around to find out things that Discus already told us on the first screen with one click.
Pity, but vBulletin simply doesn't have the functionality that Discus has, and would cost me and Jean and Petrick an hour or two per day of extra work.

I might be unclear on what the difference is (it's been a long time since I made real use of a discuss board) but the "view posts since last visit" link on the top right corner of the index page does essentially the same thing. It doesn't show the first 40 characters of the post, but it does show the forum and topic. If you remember to click the little orange icon next to the topic title (not the actual title), it will take you to the newest posts instead of the first one.

The Forum is a nice application for our customers, but we use the "legacy BBS" for true product development. There are three times the number of registered users. There are between 100-200 new messages per day in 30-60 different topics.
Here (and we greatly appreciate it!) the posters are fairly polite, rarely use bad language or are risqué, and almost never, ever are rude to each other. On the legacy BBS, SVC, SPP, and I must have a way of quickly scanning messages and enough content to know if there is a heated discussion. For example:
Tom: I have this great idea
Dick: That idea is the stupidest
Harry: No, your ISC BB was the
Tom: My idea stupid? You stupid
Dick: You lying so-and-so
Well, I'd pop in on that topic!
I also pop in on topics where Tom and Dick are alternating posts every hour and I just need to make sure that the discussion isn't heated or heading that way. The only way to monitor that type of conversation is to have a function to let me see not only the new posts since I last looked, but the history over a short period of time, say a day.
SVC needs to be able to see if a topic generates interest. Interest for us may be five key people posting, "Hey, we need this ship!" That isn't enough to trigger a hot topic in the Forum, and we can't easily see who has posted (except for the first and last person) and without reading every post, we cannot get a feeling for the the tone of the topic.
SVC has rightfully earned the reputation of being the most accessible game designer in the business. That accessibility and the ability to have the time to continue to design games is due in part to having the discus BBS. It takes SVC and me far longer to scan this Forum with a quarter of the messages than it does for us to scan the BBS. I don't want to see SVC lose touch with his customers; I also don't want him to not have time to give us more ships to blow up!

So far, this forum (and the supposedly more powerful vBusiness one) do not do what Discus does. They don't do almost that, they don't do pretty much the same thing.
The best I can find from PHP of vBusiness is "These topics have at least one new message".
Discus gives me that, and gives me the NUMBER of new messages, and the NAMES of those posting them, and the first few words of each post. That is 1,000 times the information.
With Discus, I can ignore a topic entirely unless I see it getting active or ornery. Also, players have learned to put "SVC" as the first characters of their post as a means of attracting my attention. Even a topic I'm following can be ignored if the first words of the only post are "Lemme think about that" or if the only two posts are "Does anybody know" and "Go here". PHP and vB do not provide that kind of information. With PHP/vB I have to go into every topic, which is time-wasting. Eric says he is sure somebody somewhere can program vBusiness to do this. So far, the only response from a supposed vBusiness expert programmer, is "You don't need to see how many messages there are, who posted them, or the first few words of each one. What vB gives you is enough." NO, it is NOT enough.
While I can get to the oldest unread message or the newest message or the oldest message in vB, I can get directly and immediately to ANY new message in Discus. That saves a lot of time and distraction.
Knowing (in discus) that a topic I was ignoring suddenly has 73 messages means I need to go there. I'd never know that in vB or PHP without opening EVERY topic with"at least one new message" EVERY time I go to the BBS.
I am sick and tired of people telling me "Discus is old! Why don't you get something new!" when the obvious answer is "Nothing new can do what Discus will do."
Now, I do have to apologize to PHP because until yesterday I thought it wouldn't give me what it will. I just never noticed one link (which in the colors it shows on my screen is very hard to see if you don't know to look for it). Yes, PHP will give me a list of "topics with at least one new message" which is better that opening each and every folder. but it is still about 10% as functional as Discus is.

Ok I think I have a better idea what you want.
If you have someone who can edit your php files on your server, then you can have something more along the lines you want. It still won't show you the total new posts in the topics, but at least you will see the individual posts.
In PHPBB ver 2 (based on your copywrite below I'm assuming you guys are on 2) you need to edit you search.php file in the main forum folder. They need to search for the word "newposts". Once they find the section with the newposts word (around line 180) they will see an if statement that has the following:
if ( $search_id == 'newposts' )
if ( $userdata['session_logged_in'] )
$sql = "SELECT post_id FROM " . POSTS_TABLE . " WHERE post_time >= " . $userdata['user_lastvisit'];
redirect(append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=search.$phpEx&search_id=newposts", true));
$show_results = 'topics';
$sort_by = 0;
$sort_dir = 'DESC';
If they change the $showresults='topics' to be $showresults='posts' then the link will switch from showing topics to showing the actual posts. It shows 200 characters by default, so if you want a smaller amount, then they will need to add the following just before the $showresults line:
$return_chars=40; (or whatever amount you want)
You can also change the sort options by changing the number from 0 to another number. I can't remember what each one is, but I think 2 is to sort by topic. The $sort_dir option just choses between ASCending and DESCending ordering. Usefull to change if you are sorting by topic, but if you are going by time (the 0 setting) it is better to leave it as desc.
Hope that helps you guys.

A couple things I forgot to mention.
If you want to go directly to a post, you will need to click the subject link in the post. Any other links just take you to the topics or forum.
The change will also show the posters name and the toal posts in a topic, so I guess if you know a topic was quiet and then has 50 posts you will get some info from that as well.

Father Taylor,
If they make these changes, does it change the layout for everybody or just those making the changes. I ask because I love discus and hate phpBB because of the inability to see what posts say.

Yes it does change the link for everyone. It's a very easy change to make, so if it isn't what you want it can be changed back easily.
I will add that people who use PHPBB regularly will find the change less than satisfactory. When I made the change on my wife's forum most of the people were against it. I had to add two more links to give everyone the option to have the original topics layout, the posts layout by date and the posts layout by topic. To make those changes required about 20 changes across 4 or 5 files, so I just gave you the easy version of the change.
I'll also send a small change to strip out the whitespace and quoted messages from the start of the posts when displaying the search results. It helps to make sure you see the actual message someone typed and not a repeat of someone elses message. The change affects all searches that return a limited number of characters, but I actually find it to be better than the default PHPBB setup.
edit - If you want the multiple links version of this change, I can give you guys that as well, It's not hard, but will require a few days for me to find all the changes and write them out.

Michelle Basch,
ROCKVILLE, Md. - As traffic around the region worsens, Montgomery County wants to fight it by creating a countywide bus rapid transit network.
The preliminary plan is to run buses that look like streetcars on major roads, such as Georgia Avenue and Rockville Pike.
To reduce costs and potential harm to the environment, the goal is to use existing lanes when possible.
Some existing lanes of traffic would be "repurposed" and turned into bus-only lanes.
In other places, lanes for buses would be carved out of medians.
"We've recommended lane repurposing where forecast ridership exceeds the number of people that could be moved in a normal lane," Master Planner Larry Cole told the Montgomery County Planning Board Thursday night.
"We believe that improved transit service on Montgomery County's recommended corridors should begin with peak hour use only, that could expand as ridership increases."
Cole says if the plan does go forward, the changes won't happen for decades.
"We're talking about 2040, we're not talking about tomorrow and you've lost the lane and now you have to figure out how to get to work."
"Congestion is going to continue to get worse, so transit is going to be a more acceptable option," says Cole.
Three open-house style public meetings on the plan are scheduled for next week. Each runs from 6:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Those interested can show up at 7 p.m. to see a presentation. The meetings are:
- Tuesday, Nov. 13 at Montgomery Blair High School
- Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Shady Grove Training Facility
- Thursday, Nov. 15 at Wheaton Library.
Read more about the Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan. MontgomeryPlanning.org details where the specifi cs of the plan and its corriders and shows maps and graphs.
Cole explains the project's scope in this video from Montgomery County cable:

As electric vehicles become commonplace, will the grid be able to handle the extra load? Too many cars plugging in at once might cause disruptions and necessitate costly infrastructure upgrades....
Plugging In
Can the grid handle the coming electric vehicle load?
to increase minimum loads at night—making use of surplus wind-energy generation—and to offer fast and accurate response to high variability in wind net load, as needed by the system operator." 10 However, most analysts regard widespread adoption of such vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology as many years more distant, recognizing the technological and regulatory barriers that must be overcome before it can be deployed widely.
Although the impact of likely PEV penetration rates on overall system demand is modest, if PEV adoption is highly localized ( e.g., in affluent neighborhoods), the additional charging load potentially could add stresses on the local distribution system. The expected modest PEV numbers, coupled with the fact that easily observable PEV sales give advance warning of aggregate fleet penetration, might help utilities to foresee and deal with these issues. However, this is an area that would benefit from additional research and real-world experience, and active utility intervention ultimately might be needed to prevent or address localized distribution issues.
Long Tailpipe?
From an environmental perspective, switching from gasoline to electricity as a transport fuel means trading the emissions of a gasoline-powered internal combustion engine for those of the marginal electric generator at the time the PEV is charged. 11 In addition to moving those emissions geographically from the tailpipe of the vehicle to the generator's smokestack, the quantities emitted will differ. The CO 2 emitted from a gasoline vehicle is similar to that released by charging a PEV with power from a coal-fired plant. Coal has about the highest CO 2 emissions among common generation types, so in many regions and circumstances ( i.e., when some other resource that emits less CO 2, such as a gas plant, is on the margin), a PEV will emit less CO 2 than a gasoline vehicle. This generally is the case in New England, where gas-fired units are on the margin in most hours, emitting CO 2 at about half the rate of coal-fired power.
The annual CO 2 emissions of a conventional gasoline vehicle (at 25 to 45 mpg) can be compared with those of a PEV under several alternative charging circumstances ( see Figure 3 ). For a more direct comparison, the PEV is assumed to be all-electric rather than a plug-in hybrid. If the PEV is charged when a coal plant is on the margin, its CO 2 emissions will be similar to those of a gasoline vehicle. Note that the range of PEV emissions when charging with coal corresponds to a range of coal plant efficiency—a less efficient coal plant emits more CO 2. If a gas plant is on the margin, the PEV emits much less CO 2. On most systems, the marginal emissions rate differs over the hours of the day, so the PEV's CO 2 emissions might depend on the particular charging pattern, and would be an average of the marginal emission rates during the charging period. The right-most bar on Figure 3 illustrates the CO 2 emissions of a PEV charged on the simulated 2020 New England power system; the

Glock 9 Round Blue Magazine For Model 27 40 Smith & WessonLike no other pistol, Glock pistols permit almost unrestricted compatibility of the magazines within a caliber. Standard magazines, for instance, can also be used for backup weapons. Compact and subcompact Glock pistol model magazines can be loaded with a convincing number of rounds - i.e. Glock 26: up to 33 rounds. The innovative polymer frame of the Glock pistol does not require grip shells. As a result, it has considerably more space for the magazine body and enables double-row staggered cartridge configuration. For this reason, Glock pistols are superior in firepower to conventional pistol models of the same size. Glock magazines have a stiff metal tube encased in the proven Glock high tech polymer. This resists deformation - even when dropped from great height or exposed to extreme environment conditions.

Thanksgiving Crafts: Outdoor Decor
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Decorate the outside of your house for autumn or Thanksgiving with one of these great crafts.
Wreaths- String oranges or seasonal kumquats onto a ring of sturdy wire with evergreen garland or laurel leaves. Or, add features such as kumquats, pomegranates, and apples to a purchased grapevine wreath. Long curls of orange and lemon peel make for an interesting and fragrant touch. You can even crochet a Thanksgiving Wreath like the one below.
Picture Frames on the Door- Sick of wreaths? Take a flat front, wood picture frame (this will work best for affixing items). Paint or leave the frame the original wood color. Decorate the frame with falls leaves, pinecones, twigs, and even peacock feathers and hang it from the top of the door from a pretty, wide ribbon.
Rusty Buckets- Fill old, rusted buckets with small pumpkins, Indian corn, bundles of twigs, gourds, and fall flowers. Wrap autumn-colored ribbons around the buckets or just enjoy the antique look.
Window boxes- If you don't have empty window boxes, you can also use painted windowboxes as decoration on each side of a door. Fill them partially with sand and insert bundles of wheat or oats, so that they stand up. The birds will love these.
Pumpkins- Keep those pumpkins from Halloween and turn them into Thanksgiving décor. For a cute activity to do with kids, turn the pumpkin into a turkey. Cover the design from your Halloween jack-o-lantern with a brown construction paper circle. Add eyes, a yellow triangle for the beak and red waddle hanging off the circle. Cut out big feathers in red, yellow, and orange and glue to the back of the pumpkin.
