St. Bartholomew Comments
St. Bartholomew, 1st. century, one of the 12. All that is known of him with certainty is that he is mentioned in the synoptic gospels and Acts as one of the twelve apostles. His name, a patronymic, means "son of Tolomai" and scholars believe he is the same as Nathanael mentioned in John, who says he is from Cana and that Jesus called him an "Israelite...incapable of deceit." The Roman Martyrology says he preached in India ... Continue Reading

I would like to request a prayer of healing for my mother who is 83 and who is hospitalized. She went in with labored breathing and was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia.

St. Bartholomew, aposotle and companion of Jesus, you are a rare and unique person to have been described by Jesus as "incapable of deceit". I think you are wonderful. My mother who is from Kerala, India says that with St. Thomas, you were Christ's first preachers in India..and received martydom later. We long for your continued intercession from heaven for the Catholics of India and Asian countries. Pray for all chlidren who are afflicted with developmental delays and all people who are vulnerable. Amen.

St.Bartholomew, Apostle ,before coming to know Christ, was a hero and Nazareth was nothing for him but after knowing Jesus and messiah and Son of God, become a servant and zero,emptided himself and spoke about Nazareth well and good. It is very hard for any one to break his self ego and pride about him and his hometown but when we understand other in the eye of Faith for the sake of the Kingdom and the account of the Gospel we may begin the appreciate and acknowledge other and their goodness. We may come to know see how much ignorant and blind was I? Jesus opens our mind and heart to see others as there and also good as we are.

Hi there, simply became alert to your blog via Google, and found that it's truly informative. I am going to be careful for brussels. I'll appreciate in case you continue this in future. Lots of people can be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Won't it be easier to just create your Signature on word, Copy it and just paste it in Edit Signature box in the Outlook? Saves anyone the time of creating HTML siggys
I created the file using the original signature html and adding the facebook like code. The original part of the signature shows up as the link cannot displayed. It may have been moved, deleted, or renamed. So the pictures need to be in the signatures file? possibly. Getting muddy.
Thank you in advance.
Best of everything to you, Vickie
Hi we are running multiple versions of Outlook and all want to have standard signatures with text, hyperlinks and images. Cutting and pasting into the edit signature box only works to a certain extent but as you have said doesn't translate very well to some other email clients and particularly not when viewing emails on mobile. I am wondering if I am missing a trick with how to do this more easily and consistently across all versions of Outlook. Would doing this in HTML resolve issues around fonts and tables not displaying properly on mobile devices? I'm not really sure what to do next! Any help would be much appreciated.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Moses!
Facts about Moses
- Breed: Corgi Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Moses's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Moses is a little gem. He loves other dogs & adores people. He rarely barks. He will make some one a great companion.
Other Pets at Ward Animal Shelter Volunteers - Vermont
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Moses, a Brattleboro Corgi dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Corgi for sale in Brattleboro, or seeking a Corgi dog from a breeder in Brattleboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brattleboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brattleboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Corgi breeders who help with Corgi rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brattleboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Maybe you were like me and thought that cancer was part random and part genetic. Or maybe you knew that things like diet, weight, and exercise could actually affect your chances of having cancer?
Either way, knowledge is power, and this book is POWERFUL.
I was emailed a couple months ago to see if I'd be interested in reading 100 Perks of Having Cancer plus 100 Health Tips For Surviving it and then blogging about it. Reviewing this book hasn't been easy. It's hard to summarize 400+ pages of valuable information! So I decided to take a leaf out of the authors' book and to create a numbered list of why people, with or without cancer, should read it.
So here ya go.
5 Reasons to Read 100 Perks of Having Cancer plus 100 Health Tips For Surviving it! (even if you don't have the Big C)
her blog) and Susan includes 100 health tips for surviving it (more on her blog). Their sense of humor makes this book easy and enjoyable to read. Plus, there are some great illustrations and personal photos in here. After reading this book, I sort of feel connected to them!
Aren't they amazing? :) So, here's why you should read the book:
1. It inspires you.
Like, in the way those Olympic stories inspire you. Everyone loves to see a person overcome obstacles and succeed in life. It talks about living in the moment, making the most of your life, and building relationships. Susan and Flo don't even beat around the bush. They dive right into the gritty details, like health tip #2, the effects of estrogen on the lady parts, or health tip #28, all about having normal bodily functions. :) The book talks about the power of prayer and of a strong support group. Really, it tells you how to get through challenges in life and that's something that anyone, with or without cancer, can appreciate.
2. It makes you count your blessings.
Some of things I realized I'm grateful for while reading this book:
-I don't have cancer (knocking on wood as I type this).
-I'm learning ways I can prevent cancer and I didn't have to do any of the research!
-I have eyebrows. Therefore, I can communicate by giving 'the look.'
-I don't smoke and I'm thankful for that (fact: on average, it takes a smoker 3 ties to quit).
-I'm thankful for humor and how it helps me cope with my job and with life.
-I don't have medical bills to pay.
-I'm already really good a sleeping, and apparently poor sleeping habits are linked to a lot of really bad things (high blood pressure, obesity, depression/anxiety, diabetes, impaired immunity, and even cancer).
3. It makes you more aware.
Reading this book was similar to my experience watching Food, Inc. or Super Size Me. It was almost shocking how many things have links to cancer and are seen as 'normal' in society. Examples include health tip #60 warns against "added sugar" (sad), #66 talks about the problem with eating fast food (also sad), and then #24 says I have to ditch my microwave popcorn (triple sad)! I relate to Flo in the fact that I feel like I lead a healthy-ish lifestyle. But everything is backed up with research that specifically states why cancer loves and thrives on those things and it suddenly makes it a lot less appetizing. At the same time, you learn about healthy fats, nuts, vitamins, seeds, fruits, veggies... the list goes on and on. There are beauty tips (skin care and hair care) and exercise tips (how to make the most of your walking and how dancing counts as working out).
The book also made me aware that goldfish keeping is actually a hobby. So I had to Google it. And apparently, back in September 2013, here in Boise, Idaho, we held the 20th annual Koi and Goldfish Show. I didn't even know such a thing existed! So, naturally, I'm making plans to go for 2014. :)
If you get the chance to read this book, don't skip Perk #57 Handsome Doctors and Health Tip #57 When Good Doctors Go Bad. It basically gives you some really good insider tips on how to choose a medical provider, which is huge!
4. It gives you a bunch of great recipes
The kitchen is my happy place, so I got really excited when some of Susan's 100 health tips were some fantastic recipes to try! There's vegan chocolate beetroot cupcakes, kale chips, pumpkin soup, a version of quinoa sloppy joes, granola, and dandelion salad.
The book also gives a list of cancer fighting foods: garlic, berries, avocado, Chile peppers, broccoli, raw carrots, mushrooms, red grapes, and olive oil. There are PAGES devoted to olive oil! Specifically, extra-virgin organic olive oil. I found my bottle at Costco and made this carrot ginger soup in the picture below: (I did stray from the recipe and added a dash of hot sauce. So good!)
Clara, a sweet little lady who shares recipes from her childhood during the depression on YouTube (she passed away in 2013 at age 98). She basically has me convinced I need to try Dandelion salad this spring. I think I can convince husband to eat it, he's been on a 'wilderness survival' kick recently. :)
5. You will (probably) live longer if you read and heed this book.
Here's what I mean by #5: this book will help you make changes in your life that can boost immunity, make your body healthy and strong, and build up relationships with others. It helps you focus on having a healthy body and soul. For example, health tip #18 (one of my favorites) is all about the benefits you receive personally from helping others. There is research that looks at the effects of kind acts on health and well-being and they find that being good is good for you! Focusing on helping someone else takes your mind off your own problems and distracts you from your own stress-provoking thoughts. You release endorphins, reduce feelings of despair and isolation by providing hope to others, and it improves symptoms of depression (page 80). How cool is that? So now I've added another book to read to my list: The Healthing Power of Doing Good: The Health and Spiritual Benefits of Helping Others, by Allan Luks and Peggy Payne.
While I doubt I'll get them to find the perks of cancer while they're dealing with a fresh incision and a chest tube sticking out of their side, I DO think they'll be receptive to learning all they can about how to avoid going through that experience again!

Peter Bay Beach House
st. john, us virgin islands
on a lavish white sand beach, this magnificent residence offers
privacy, luxury and comfort within the exclusive gated community of Peter Bay, which is situated in Great Cinnamon Bay. Our privileged guests relax
on the remote north shore of St John, just steps from the azure Caribbean Sea, totally surrounded by national park with sounds and vistas that truly elate the
But, it's not without decision making. Decisions do need to be made, even here in Paradise...
In the morning, do you take it easy and lie on the beach with that long awaited novel, hike one of the National Park trails or snorkel one of the live & colorful coral reefs at your doorstep? Will lunch be a catered al fresco buffet or a cold beer and cheese burger at Skinny Legs? Do you go shopping in Cruz Bay, boating to the BVI's or hang out in a hammock at home, dreaming about what to do tomorrow?
In the evening, maybe curl up in front of the stone fireplace while inhaling the aromas of delicious foods being cooked especially for you by a private chef; dine in one of St John's many fabulous restaurants or sit on the veranda with a pitcher of Margaritas & take-out Mexician, while watching yet another amazing sunset. Whatever you decide, you are guaranteed a wonderful, luxurious and very memorable time with us.
Many celebreties have stayed at Peter Bay Beach House over the years & made some of those same arduous decisions, including, but not limited to, Director Frank Darabont, Model Kathy Ireland, who deemed it one of the top 10 place to de-stress in USA Today, Big & Rich, & Kid Rock. Peyton Manning spent his honeymoon at the villa & returned again in 2010 with his wife and some of his team mates to chill out after playing in The Super Bowl. Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kenny Chesney.
Kenny fell in love with Peter Bay so much - he bought a home around the corner. On one of his many visits, while staying with us & sitting on our old blue chair on the beach, he became inspired and made a hit album.
We hope that we can add you to our esteemed list of guests...

"The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep & awake, when you don't know the difference between reality & fantasy; when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened..."
... such is the reality at Peter Bay Beach House
"I want to thank you for sharing your beautiful home at Peter Bay with me and my family last month. We had perhaps the best vacation of our lives and returned rested and restored in every sense of the word. It is our 2nd year with you and we feel very much at home there. In fact, we fell so much in love with that particular spot on the planet that we hope to return again in 2009. I will send you our available weeks within the next few days " Michael M/July '08

First: No one would ever find out about the situation with a (relative) celebrity otherwise...gossip and rumours in "cosmopolitan" Corner Brook? Never.

- November 29, 2012 - 13:31
Unfortunate circumstance. I always found Kevin to be appropriately friendly which can easily be misinterpreted by a younger girl. I can't take a side as I have no information on this story so I guess the only thing to do is to let it play out and not make judgement to either party involved, for now.

you are correct blair. the federal conservatives have changed the law, but the liberals/ndp including the liberal/ndp mp's from the province voted against it. over the years liberal governments with the help of their ndp buddies watered down crime bills in committees. they made a complete joke out of the justice system, and the youth justice act. but the biggest joke came in 1982, when then a liberal prime minister brought in that phoney document called: THE CHARTER OF RIGHTS & FREEDOMS. it gave criminals more rights then the victims.

Trengove is a working farm and retains all the charm of a bygone era whilst enjoying all the amenities of today.
The house, dates back to the early 1600's and is full of character, with beautiful stained-glass windows, huge granite fireplaces, original staircases and beamed ceilings. It was also the home of a notorious 19th century smuggler, William Burgess, who was reputed to be the illegitimate son of Francis Bassett, Lord Dedunstanville of the Tehidy Estate.
Much of the charm and interest of the main building exists within the farm buildings that surround the farmhouse. These have been sympathetically renovated with extensive use of natural materials and are tastefully furnished to a high standard. The Roundhouse is a particularly interesting restoration of an old farm building and is a fine example of the care and attention to detail that has been invested in retaining the essential Cornish character of the buildings.
The farm is ideally situated to take advantage of both the coast and countryside, a choice of footpaths from the farm, either through a pleasant wooded valley or across open fields, leads down to Portreath with its sandy beach, or to some of the most spectacular Cliffside scenery in the country. Situated near to the entrance of the farm is Tehidy Country Park, a tranquil 250 acre site of woodland, lakes, footpaths and cycle trails as well as an impressive golf course.
The proximity of the A30 trunk road makes other areas and towns easily accessible. St. Ives and Falmouth are 25 minutes drive, The Lizard, Padstow and the renowned Eden Project are about 50 minutes, while the county town of Truro with its cathedral and high street shops is but twenty minutes away. Indoor swimming, go-karting, bowling and other games are available locally. Illogan and Portreath have a selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The closest supermarket is just two miles away.

"There Is No Information, Only Transformation"
An Interview with Bruno Latour
By Geert Lovink and Pit Schultz
[From Hybrid Workspace, Documenta X, Kassel, August 16, 1997]
Bruno Latour (Paris) is a philosopher, specialized in the anthropology of
science and technology. He is a professor at the Centre of the Sociology
of Innovation at the l'Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris.
He is called "one of today's most acute, if idiosyncratic, thinkers about
science and society." Amongst his books, published by Harvard University
Press, one can find "We have never been modern", "Aramis, or the love of
technology" and "The Pasteurization of France". His Documenta lecture can
be seen or heard at: http://www.mediaweb-tv.de/dx/0816/gaeste_frame.html
Geert Lovink: At the moment there are two concepts of the computer: an
abstract, computational machine, based on mathematics and language.
Opposed to this we have the future computer as an image processing device,
an interactive television set. How do look at this distinction between the
language based machine versus the image based medium?
Bruno Latour: I do not believe that computers are abstract. There is a very interesting article, 'On the Origin of Objects' by a computer philosopher called Brian Cantwell-Smith, in a book about digital print.
He made the comment that the fact that there is (either) 0 and (or) 1
has absolutely no connection with the abstractness. It is actually
very concrete, never 0 and 1 (at the same time). The distinction you
suggested is slightly misleading. The origin of this (distinction) is
lying in the notion of information. There is only transformation.
Information as something which will be carried through space and time,
without deformation, is a complete myth. People who deal with the
technology will actually use the practical notion of transformation. From
the same bytes, in terms of 'abstract encoding', the output you get is
entirely different, depending on the medium you use. Down with
information. It is a bad view on science and a bad rendering of
contemporary critique of images, all this fight against the

Art Gangs: Protest and Counterculture in New York City
Release party @ ABC No Rio // Tues May 17 6-8pm
ABC No Rio 156 Rivington Street
Art Gangs is a survey of several recent well known artists' organizations in New York City which rose to prominence between 1969 and 1985, a period of political challenge and institutional change within the art world. In 1969 New York City artists formed the Art Workers Coalition to pressure the Museum of Modern Art for artists' rights and to take a stand against the Vietnam War. Over the next fifteen years, successor organizations continued political action on issues from cultural equity to U.S. foreign policy, and refined the modes of cultural activism. These groups developed new art exhibition spaces, new styles of exhibition, and collective ways of working. Today's diverse and politically conscious contemporary art world is deeply indebted to their example.

["The notion of "heterology" refers to the ways in which the meaningful fabric of the sensible is disturbed: a spectacle does not fit within the sensible framework defined by a network of meanings, an expression does not find its place in the system of the visible coordinates where it appears. The dream of a suitable political work of art is in fact the dream of disrupting the relationship between the visible, the sayable and the thinkable without having to use the terms of a message or a vehicle. It is the dream of an art that would transmit meanings in the form of a rupture with the very logic of meaningful situations. As a matter of fact, political art cannot work in the simple form of a meaningful spectacle that would lead to an "awareness" of the state of the world. Suitable political art would have a double effect: the readability of a political signification and a sensible or perceptual shock caused, conversely, by the uncanny, that which resists signification." -Ranciere, The Politics of Aesthetics/The Distribution of the Sensible]
Julian Assange describes a "corrosive servility" that has come to infuse present day life and our resignation towards the established political order. As we, as bourgeois bohemians, buy organic at Trader Joe's, dutifully download Democracy Now episodes and make sure to buy the next Arundhati Roy bestseller as glib gestures of a boutique liberalism in between lining up recommendations for our MFA applications, a tacit acceptance of our impotence in the face of a repugnant sociopolitical order, verging on involuntary complicity, is so hackneyed so as to not even need to be stated.

Posts tagged: Avista Utilities
As just a little footnote to the obituary of former U.S. Army General Norman Schwarzkopf, we'll mention that the guy served for more than three years on the board of Washington Water Power, now Avista.
In 1997 SR business writer Bert Caldwell took note of Mr. Schwarzkopf's departure from the utility's board:
Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf will step down from the Washington Water Power Co. board of directors in May after four years of service. With the consent of shareholders, he will be replaced by John Kelly, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Alaska Air Group and Alaska Airlines.
The changes are the first since Schwarzkopf joined the Spokane utility's board in 1993. The company said schedule demands dictated the decision by Schwarzkopf, who has accepted positions on several other corporate and nonprofit boards since he retired from the U.S. Army after leading allied forces in the Gulf War.
Taking the board position was an obvious career move for the general at a time when he could partay his public fame into some sort of corporate credential.
One has to believe WWP brought Schwarzkopf onto the board not so much because of his executive insights.
Likely, it was WWP's attempt to add a little glitz to its board.
Sometime next month, workers at Avista Utilities have a choice to make. The company is looking to help incentivize workers to leave the utility, in order to cut something like $14 million from next year's operating budget.
Our first story on this offer is here.
But let's be a little more precise. The folks at Avista really really don't like us using the term "buyout."
When we inquired how many employees have indicated an interest, we were told the word buyout is not accurate. It is instead a Voluntary Severance Program.
Further, with the deadline for volunteers being Dec. 14, Avista has no plans to reveal how many workers take the buyout. Even though it's a publicly traded company, the rules don't require this sort of matter to be revealed in SEC documents or filings.
Avista has a total of roughly 1,500 workers. The offer has not been presented to about 600 union workers, said Avista spokesman Dan Kolbet.
The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) on Thursday approved requests by the state's four investor-owned natural gas companies, including Avista Utilities, to reduce heating rates for customers beginning Nov. 1.
Natural gas companies in Washington are required to adjust rates periodically to reflect changes in wholesale prices. More than half to about two-thirds of a customer's monthly bill is attributable to the cost of natural gas on which the company is not allowed to earn a profit.
The remaining 33 to 45 percent of the monthly bill covers the cost of delivering the natural gas.
Avista's typical Eastern Washington residential customer using 68 therms will see a drop of 4.3 percent, or $2.58 a month, for a revised bill of $58.18.
The average residential customer of southwest Washington's Northwest Natural Gas Co. (NWNG) using 55 therms will see a savings of about 7.7 percent, or $4.82 a month.
All four utilities may see adjustments to the new rates. UTC staff will review wholesale costs and purchasing and hedging practices of the four firms to insure they are appropriate in current market conditions.
The commission decision on Avista's natural gas rate request is separate from the general rate case filed by the company in April. The UTC is expected to make a final decision in that proceeding next March.
The utilities distribute natural gas to customers but do not produce their own fuel. About half of Washington's natural gas supplies come from the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and the other half from Rocky Mountain production sites such as Wyoming.
Avista serves more than 149,000 natural gas customers, primarily in Eastern Washington.
It was a challenge putting together today's news story, on page A1, about the incentives offered to businesses or homeowners installing solar energy panels. A challenge because there's a good deal of variety and complexity among the federal and state incentives.
One very helpful website for those interested in all those incentives and options is www.dsireusa.org. The name stands for Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency. Good site.
Some numbers that came from the research:
On Wednesday, as Itron reported mixed earnings, the Liberty Lake utility technology maker and service provider also announced it's taking part in an East Coast smart grid demonstration project.
Itron and National Grid, a northeast U.S. utitlity, announced they will be partners on a project to build and evaluate advanced smart grid systems in Massachusetts.
Here's where the geeky tech stuff shows up in the story: the two firms will field-test the multi-application capabilities of the new Itron-Cisco IPv6 based smart grid solution, including advanced metering, home area networking (HAN) and distribution automation (DA). That "stuff" is the typical and more or less standard set of tools the smart grid depends on.
OK, then, what's the key news here? The press report says the system will use Cisco technology that allows a utility to exchange information with its residential and business customers without requiring them to all use just one proprietary set of equipment or applications.
As designed, that makes the smart grid more open-standards based, sort of like the way the Web is designed.
It's a big deal because this allows an electric utility do have a grid system across a diverse set of customers, including large industrial customers, or when dealing with a dispersed group of home customers, some of whom may be using different home metering products than others across the utility map are using.
If you really want all the other details, here's the official Itron release.
Itron and Cisco not long ago announced they had a similar deal for BC Hydro, one of Canada's largest electric utilities. Here's a summary of the project being done in British Columbia.
View Larger Map The company that operates a large network of fiber-optic cable for Spokane and North Idaho business customers said it could be midnight on Tuesday before their Internet service returns.
Shelly Mills, a spokesperson for the Spokane office of Zayo Enterprises, said it might be that long, following a car crash early Tuesday that knocked over a utility pole in northeast Spokane County.
That pole, in the accompanying Google StreetView image, is at the intersection of Starr Road and Wellesley.
It's not clear how many businesses use the fiber that is hung on that pole.
The black lines on the pole are fiber-optic lines. The other mess of wires are for phone and electric power.
The white conduit on the left of the pole brings fiber down into the buried vault on the ground.
Zayo provides both "lit" and dark fiber for customers.
Zayo spokesman Glenn Russo, based in Colorado, said fiber carriers choose to either use poles or bury lines under ground. "You end up picking your poison," he said. Aerial lines are more frequently broken than buried lines. "But they're also much easier to fix, by nature of being in the open," he said.
Another story, to be posted later at spokesman.com, will add information on the specific companies impacted.
Power is out on a portion of the South Hill this afternoon as Avista Utilities crews replace a pole at 9th Ave. and Monroe St. destroyed in a motor vehicle accident at about 10 a.m.
A spokeswoman said service should be restored to all customers by 4:30 p.m.
At 1:30 p.m. the outages had been limited to an area between 8th Ave. and 11th Ave. between Monroe and West Cliff Avenue.
About 222 customers were still without service, down from more than 400 initially.

Ministerial Responsibility
The Plastic Gangster makes a very reasoned argument about Hoon and mentions my view that he has "blood on his hands" - to quote: "To suggest at this stage that Geoff Hoon personally has Sgt. Roberts "blood on his hands" is a dangerous game and one that should not be embarked upon, even if danger is your thing, until the facts of the Roberts case have become clear. Which, at the time of typing, they haven't."
- as a note I'm responding here because there is no comment section on his website.
I accept that I have my Mr. Angry hat on when blogging and I don't spend the time to construct reasoned argument like Mr.Plastic. But in this case I think it stands up. Mr Hoon enjoys the privileges, status and money of being a Minister fro Defence. No one disputes the bare facts that our service men were not as well equipped as they should have been for various cock-up reasons. This probably contributed to at least one mans death. If you are at the top you should take responsibility for what happens, the excuse that you didn't know, or couldn't do anything about it doesn't wash. (I would also say I believe this is true in commerce as well and that company directors should take the same view). This responsibility is purely moral, it is not the same as taking legal responsibility. I also believe Hoon would have been respected for taking that responsibility and resigning. It would also have been a comfort to the bereaved. Hoon would then be considered to be an honourable man with a future back on the front benches in a year or so. But the more he hangs on the more damaging and humiliating it will be for him.
But I also accept his sins are minor in many ways and resigning is more a symbolic act than an act of real substance. And so the case isn't as clear cut as it might be. But I believe it would be best and right for everyone if he went.

Processing RAW files with RawTherapee
Digital Darkroom
RAW format images offer more options for editing than JPEG formats – RawTherapee brings this potential to Linux.
Just imagine the disappointment: When you get back from vacation and check your snapshots on your PC, you find out that your favorite image is color cast and the darker sections totally lack contrast. If you used the typical JPEG format, even the most capable image manipulation program would offer little help in restoring the shots. RAW format images, on the other hand, contain far more image data, which provides greater opportunity for post-processing (see the box titled "RAW Digital Negatives"). For example, you can correct underexposed images without affecting the quality of the original.
Camera manufacturers such as Canon and Nikon use proprietary RAW formats, and you typically need a commercial Windows program to open them. To avoid the Windows trap, try the freeware program RawTherapee [1] (Figure 1), which is based on DCraw [2]. RawTherapee can open nearly any RAW format, and it has a huge set of manipulation features. The project website [3] compares RawTherapee with other RAW converters. The program is also useful for editing JPEG- or PNG-formatted files.
In this article, I describe the stable version 2.3. A beta version of the 2.4 release is also available for download. Version 2.4 offers comprehensive metadata support (Exif and IPTC), that 2.3 lacks.
RAW Digital Negatives
Lossy image formats such as JPEG go through a number of processes in the camera: interpolation of individual pixels, as well as various optimizations, such as sharpening, white balance, or noise compensation. When you store an image in RAW format, the camera avoids this workflow and writes the data captured by the photo sensor directly to the memory card.
The advantage is that all the information is kept in its original form; the optimization process is the photographer's responsibility. The disadvantage of this approach is that it takes five to seven times more memory compared with JPEG. In addition, internal processing is slower.
The RAW format's biggest advantage is the information density of the images: Whereas JPEG only saves 256 luminance levels per pixel (8 bits), RAW uses 4,096 (12 bits). In practical terms, this means a vastly extended colorspace and improved contrast, which in turn gives you far more power to manipulate the original image.
Exif: Exchangeable image file format. A standard for the file format that modern digital cameras use to store information.
IPTC: Or to be more precise: IPTC-NAA, International Press Telecommunications Council – Newspaper Association of America. A standard for storing text information of image content on arbitrary media (text, photos, graphics, audio, video). IPTC gives users the ability to store copyright information (author, title, keywords, etc.) directly in the image file.
Getting Started
The first step is to download the tarball for your system from the project homepage. Then unpack the archive and copy the new folder created by this step to your home directory. To launch the program, click the rt file.
The basic settings – such as the local image directory or storage format – are available in the Settings menu in the top right. To load images for preview, use the integrated Directory and file browser (bottom left) to open the directory with the RAW files. This step displays the images in the directory in the preview pane on the right. Clicking on an image loads it for editing in the main window. Information on the photo, such as the camera type used, the aperture, shutter speed, and focal length are displayed when you click the i icon in the menubar.
At the bottom of the editing window are the settings for the Preview. RawTherapee displays changes in real time, so you might want to set Scale to 1:3 or 1:4 to avoid major delays in displaying the images. If you enable the checkboxes next to Details, a red frame appears in the image, and an additional Detail view window appears showing the section within the frame at the original size. To move the selection, just press the right mouse button and drag the frame.
The Right Profile
The Editing profile pull-down offers three different defaults for image optimization. The neutral option leaves the image as is, default sharpens slightly and corrects the brightness, and crisp additionally adjusts the contrast.
The program also creates a separate editing profile for each image and saves the profile in the same directory as the images themselves. If you re-edit an image, RawTherapee automatically loads the matching profile. If you want to apply the settings from one image to another, you can store them in a separate profile and open the profile along with the image you want to edit. The program does not have support for batch operations; however, the developers have a beta version with batch support on the roadmap.
The tool never modifies RAW images, but it stores the modified data in JPEG, TIFF, or PNG format with a color depth of 8 or 16 bits. Editing tools are available in the pane to the right of the main window. The menu items are ordered to support a practical workflow, and it makes sense to keep to this order. Clicking a tool opens the matching editing options.
White Stays White
One common fault seen in images is color casting because of incorrect white balance. To correct this, you can click the set manually box in the White balance tab. Then, move the pipette to a neutral section of the image like a cloud or a wall. The RGB values are shown at the top of the window. Left-click to accept the selection, and then correct any imbalance by dragging the Color temperature and Hue sliders.

Analysis of Calcium Sulphate Filler and its Application in Papermaking Process as Functional Filler

Calcium sulphate is rich in natural resources and by-product of many industrial processes. However, most calcium sulphate product was only used with low added value or treated as waste, harmful to environment. If the calcium sulphate can be used as papermaking filler, very high added value can be gained and also the environment problem can be solved. In this paper calcium sulphate from by product of industry was characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM), and then used as papermaking filler. The influence of calcium sulphate filler on pulp suspension and paper properties was studies. The results showed that the calcium sulphate fillers were composed of three crystal forms, dihydrate, hemihydrate, anhydrite, and it was needle or fiber shape, hollow in the middle; calcium sulphate showed high brightness and high conductivity in water, compared with talc or ground calcium carbonate(GCC) filler. When calcium sulphate filler was used in papermaking process the filler retention was very small because of its high solubility in water. Calcination at high temperature can lower the solubility of calcium sulphate and slightly increase the retention, but the retention was still quite small. The future work should focus on controlling the solubility of calcium sulphate.

Just a quick reminder that National Corndog Day will be on Saturday, March 22 this year. Mark your calendars!
Wow! My family is die hard Pepsi fans. What does this mean for all of us? Will there be coupons in the party packs? Will they give a years worth of Pepsi as reward for the picture contest?
Looking at the hoops schedule, it looks like it should be Saturday, March 23, 2013. Am I correct?
Today Brett and I are bottling our corndog inspired beer. The first small batch we did turned out pretty good! So we brewed a large batch. Can't wait for NCD!
will jones soda be doing a custom label on a the green apple? it being st. patricks day
Cannot wait for Corndog Day. We have people asking already about 2012 National Corndog Day and planning vacation around the big event.
We had a blast this year! We upped our attendance record to 63. John and Natalie brought our youngest attendee, 8-week old Skylar.
Does anyone know where to get the Certificates for the Triple Double? I've printed them off the website before, but can't find them.
Had toddler bedtimes to contend with this year, so the party got started early and ended early. All told we hit some good numbers this year.
With still two games yet to tip off, we've had three triple-doubles already!!! Two more may get there, but at least we've got three champs!

Federal Agents Stop Drug Tunnel in Arizona
Saturday, February 23, 2013
Posted: 10:58 p.m. MST
Federal agents from the U.S. and Mexico have shut down a partially finished drug smuggling tunnel.
It was discovered along the Arizona-Mexico border in Nogales on Friday during a bi-national border sweep.
Mexican authorities caught a man digging the tunnel and arrested him on the spot.
The tunnel extended five feet into the U.S. from Mexico but did not reach the surface.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas education officials are turning to the state's attorney general for legal guidance about what rules and regulations are keeping school districts from being innovative.
Brad Neuenswander, deputy education commissioner, told the State Board of Education on Wednesday the agency is trying to figure out how to implement a new law signed by Gov. Sam Brownback that creates a coalition of innovative districts.
The law is supposed to give up to 29 districts flexibility in following education rules and regulations, but they must follow certain laws regarding such things as accreditation, school finance and open meetings.
Neuenswander says Attorney General Derek Schmidt's office has been asked to provide a legal opinion on the law to clarify which rules and regulations can be waived.

Locking in Success
In Texas, the average cost for 15 credit hours at a public college or university has risen by more than 70 percent since 2003.
It's an annual event that offers better lives for thousands of Texas kids — the enrollment period for the Texas Tuition Promise Fund (TTPF). The 2010-11 enrollment period, marking the TTPF's third year, ran from September 2010 to Feb. 28, 2011. The 2011-12 enrollment period will open on Sept. 1, 2011.
The Tuition Promise Fund is a state-administered prepaid tuition plan that allows its participants to lock in the cost of college tuition and fees at Texas public colleges and universities at today's prices.
And that's a significant advantage, given the skyrocketing cost of higher education. In Texas, the average cost of 15 credit hours at a public college or university has risen by more than 70 percent since 2003, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
"Many parents feel helpless when confronted by economic uncertainty and rising tuition costs," says Kevin Deiters, director of the Comptroller's Educational Opportunities and Investment Division. "But they need to step back and realize that college is much more affordable than people think — and that more resources are available to students than ever before."
As of early December 2010, TTPF had received more than 1,200 new applications worth about $17 million in contracts. Tight budgets for many Texans slowed enrollment in the 2009-10 period to about 4,200, compared with more than 13,000 enrollments in the TTPF's initial round in 2008-09. In those first two enrollment periods, Texans purchased more than $300 million in TTPF contracts.
A Flexible Commitment
TTPF is based on "units" of college education. Think of the cost of tuition and required fees for 30 semester credit hours — for most students, a typical course load for two semesters. Now divide the cost for those hours by 100, and you have a single unit. Four hundred units, then, are generally equivalent to four years of college.
"One of the best things about the program is its flexibility, both in the type of units parents can purchase and the payment options available," says Linda Fernandez, TTPF program manager. "Parents can pay for all units at one time or spread the cost over the remaining time until the beneficiary goes to college. For newborns, that could be as long as 18 years. There's an option for every budget," she says.
You'll need a separate contract for each child enrolled in TTPF, but many families enroll multiple children. To qualify, the child must be a Texas resident or the parent must be the purchaser and a Texas resident. Units must be held for at least three years before they can be redeemed.
Interested parents also have a couple of different options concerning deadlines. For most kids, the 2010-11 enrollment window is open until Feb. 28, 2011. Parents with a newborn or a child less than one year old, however, can enroll until July 31, 2011.
TTPF also allows grandparents, aunts, uncles and others to help in building funds for a college education. The plan's "gifting" feature allows family and friends to contribute funds to a TTPF account — and at any time, not just during an enrollment period. Understandably, parents made up 87 percent of new contract purchasers in the first two enrollment periods, but Deiters says the importance of getting the whole family involved can't be overstated.
"Parents should encourage friends and family to contribute to their child's college education," he says. "It makes it easy for them to contribute on special occasions — birthdays, holidays, quinceañeras, elementary school graduations and other events. Although the whole family can contribute, the parents still control how the money is spent on their child's education." FN

Marine Science
The Properties of Water
The main constituent of the oceans is, of course, water. The presence of large amounts of liquid water on Earth's surface over much of its history has resulted from a fortunate combination of factors. Among them are water's unusually high freezing and boiling points for a molecule of its size, and its relative chemical stability. Water also has other remarkable properties that contribute to the characteristics of oceans—from their ability to support life to effects on climate. Underlying these properties is water's molecular structure.
The Water Molecule
A molecule of water (H2O) consists of two hydrogen (H) atoms bound to one atom of oxygen (O). Crucial to formation of the bonds between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms are four tiny negatively charged particles called electrons, which are shared between the atoms. In addition, six other electrons move around within different regions of the oxygen atom. This electron arrangement makes the H2O molecule chemically stable but gives it an unusual shape. It also produces a small imbalance in the distribution of electrical charge within the molecule. An important result of this is that neighboring water molecules are drawn to each other by forces called hydrogen bonds.
Water's Surface Tension
One special property of liquid water that can be directly attributed to the attractive forces between its molecules is its high surface tension. In any aggregation of water molecules, the surface molecules tend to be drawn together and inward toward the center of the aggregation, forming a surface "skin" that is resistant to disruption. Surface tension can be thought of as the force that has to be exerted or countered to break through this skin. Water's high surface tension has various important effects. Perhaps the most crucial is that it is vital to certain processes within living organisms—for example, water transport in plants and blood transport in animals. Surface tension also allows small insects such as sea skaters to walk and feed on the ocean surface, and it even plays a part in the formation of ocean waves.
Water's Heat Capacity
A second property of liquid water that can be attributed to hydrogen bonding is its unusually high heat capacity, which exceeds that of nearly all other known liquids. When heat is added to water, most of the heat is used to break hydrogen bonds linking the molecules. Only a fraction of the energy increases the vibrations of the water molecules, which are detected as a rise in temperature. This means that areas of ocean can absorb and release huge amounts of heat energy with little change in temperature. It also means that movements of water—ocean currents—transfer enormous amounts of heat energy around the planet. This role of ocean currents is vital to Earth's climate.
Three States of Water
The temperatures at which water changes between its three states—melting point (ice to liquid water) and boiling point (liquid water to water vapor)—are both high compared with substances having similarly sized molecules. For ice to melt and water to vaporize, high levels of energy are needed to break all the hydrogen bonds. Water is also unusual in that its solid form is slightly less dense than its liquid form, so ice floats in liquid water. The reason for this is that the molecules in ice are loosely packed, whereas those in liquid water move around in snugly packed groups. The fact that ice floats on liquid water is important because it allows the existence of large areas of polar sea ice. These affect heat flow between ocean and atmosphere and help stabilize ocean temperatures and Earth's climate.

make a dos bat file "rename *.docx *.doc"
I'm sure some geek will add a complex VBX runscript here soon...
Does anybody know if they is any tools available to mass convert all .docx files on our server to .doc.
I think it would be useful if every night / week I could run this on the server.
As you may have guessed we use Office 2007 and have set the default save as type as Word 2000 - 2003, but the odd one or two still sneak through and cause problems with kids / staff taking things home on a memory pen.
I've banned the Office 2007 extensions on our Mail server so they can't be sent outside of school.

I dont know of a tool that would do that, anyway you would have a loosing battle in here because of the Office 2007 wave is coming and cannot be stopped. so what I would suggest is if you instead install the Compatibility Pack from Microsoft, I had deployed it to all machines in here so anyone can open 2007 files,
Link is Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats
Likewise, I have rolled out the compatibility pack both at school and at home.
If there's a GP to install the compatibility pack that would be a great help otherwise it will mean a visit to each machine to run it by hand. A job for the holidays I think
We followed the earlier link and rolled it out as an msi through group policy. Very straightforward. Did it in term-time without incident.
There is a way to bulk convert all documents the other way using the OFC component in the Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) but not the other way around from docx back to doc (that I know of).
Converting all documents to the new format will decrease the space that the files use hugely though so when full roll outs have been performed it may be a good way to free up some space on the servers.
How to deploy the Office Compatibility Pack together with the Office Compatibility Pack Service Pack 1
you deploy it using GP software installation,, but first you must extract the MSI from the EXE that Microsoft provides, download the exe from the link I provided, then from the command prompt you need to run the file with the option to extract..... eg C:\fileconverter /extract:C:\folder
please note that you must copy the whole folder because the msi file is only the launcher... so once you have a location that is avaiable from any machine, you only need to add the file o12conv.msi to your group policy.
Here's how to get the Compatibility Pack MSIhow do you go about deploying it please?
You can also use the Office 2007 Ork Tools to specify Word 2007's default format is .doc too

I bought J Del Pozo in Black, solely based on reviews. Never smelled it b4. Its a beautiful burst of freshness at first---almost powdery BUT spicy too! And it fades out to sweet puff of fresh, innocence and sexiness all at once. Unique fragrance! Love it!

In Black is a wonderful fragrance. I am not one who like strong flowery scents. I like the subtle spicy, woods with a hint of flowery. This fragrance fits my bill exactly. It's not a "knock you over" type of scent but rather more on the mystery side. With it's subtle scent people tend to come close and asked to smell my wrist. They comment on how unique the scent is. This is what I want in the fragrance I wear.

J DEL POZO IN BLACK is a beautiful fragrance which is not overpowering but intrigues a person to want to smell it & ask, what are you wearing, it smells just beautiful.
