Lines of 50 flags greet motorists in 3 Lavaca County cities
Becky Cooper
May 23, 2014 at 12:23 a.m.
Updated May 24, 2014 at 12:24 a.m.
More information
The Vietnam Veterans Association No. 854 in Hallettsville is open to any Vietnam era veterans. It also has an associate's group for women. Don Williams, of Hallettsville, is the chapter president. For more information, call 361-772-6205.
YOAKUM - U.S. flags whipped in the morning breeze Friday as motorists passed by en route to their daily appointments.
The 50 flags lined the curve in state Highway 111 leading into Yoakum to remind motorists of the Memorial Day weekend and to honor the people who have served their country.
This is not the only place motorists will see lines of flags along the highway.
For the second year, the Vietnam Veterans Association No. 854 in Hallettsville has placed 600 U.S. flags - in 50-flag increments - along the four entryways to Yoakum, Hallettsville and Shiner.
A group of association members started putting out the flags Thursday morning, said Elroy Sternadel, an association member of Yoakum. The flags will stay up about a week.
"It makes me feel good putting out the flags. We get a lot of compliments. People drive by and blow their horn. It gives me a good feeling," he said.
The program, funded through donations, began first in Hallettsville then expanded to Shiner and last year to Yoakum, Sternadel said.
The flags are also set up for Fourth of July and Veterans Day.
The veterans perform the project themselves, from making the flag holders from pipe to putting the flags on the poles and measuring the 40 feet between each flag.

I am looking for a link to a site that posts,//catalogs info on church shootings. I thought I had seen it on this board a few months ago, but I'm now thinking it was somewhere else.
I need it for some data to include in a "letter to the editor" as I respond to an "anti guns in church" editorial.
The site I am remembering categorized the incidents by states. I seem to recall an interactive map that we could click on.
Any help will be appreciated.

2001 Nissan Frontier XE 2.4 from North America
Flat out reliable little pickup
Catalytic converter up by headers replaced at 85000.
New brakes, tires, shocks, alignment, full tuneup at 86,000.
Belts/pulleys at 102,000.
Driver door window seal is coming off.
Completely repainted in the original silver color at 89,000.
General Comments:
Hands down reliable. I've owned 3 Nissan pickups, and one 1970 model Datsun. Nissan 4 cylinders are bullet proof. Gas mileage is great considering it's a truck. Average 21 city, 27 highway.
Great for light day and every day driving. Towing is fine on level roads and anything under 2,000 pounds. I drove through the West VA mountains, towing a 1800 pound boat/trailer, and struggled to maintain 60 in 3rd gear, 4000RPM, but it did it.
Fun to drive, I've only owned manual transmissions in these trucks, so I can't comment on Automatics. I believe you can get more out of the power train with a manual.
I put in nothing but the best oil, Mobile One 5W30 FullSyn every 6000 miles.
I would purchase one again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Can you hear us NOW?
Dear Nancy. This is the American voters presenting you (and your Congressional majority) with our little gift of 'don't let the door hit your bony ass on the way out.' Guess which party is the 'regional party' now? While the people could not have made their disapproval and anger clearer, Pelosi continued to her stupid little campaign to 'Stop Bush in 2010.'
Obama's coalition is shattered. The Democrat name brand is in tatters. Paul Krugman's great 'progressive realignment' did not even last one election cycle. There are now fewer than 200 Democrats in the House for the first time in my lifetime. Mission accomplished. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go party like it's 1773!

Six teen girls in rural Tennessee have been charged with conspiracy to commit homicide. Their high school principal contacted authorities after learning of a "hit list" with 300 names, and a MySpace post that included the word "kill."
School officials said the list, discovered in a classroom trash can, mostly named students and faculty members but also included Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and the Energizer Bunny.Link (Thanks, Roger)Sequatchie County High School Principal Tommy Layne said that he initially considered it a joke, but that authorities then found the ninth-graders' online MySpace pages and postings that included the word "kill."
(...) There was no evidence that the girls had weapons or that an attack had been imminent, Huth said. The girls, ages 14 and 15, were charged with conspiracy to commit criminal homicide late Wednesday and taken to a juvenile facility.

Immigrant rights groups continue to push for school policy change
Posted By Nancy Lofholm On October 11, 2011 @ 4:30 pm In Immigration | No Comments
Two immigrant rights groups are continuing to push Roaring Fork Valley school administrators to develop a new policy on school recource officers after accusing the current school resource officer for that area of helping to arrest immigrants at the same he serves in the schools.
The Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition [1] and the Association of Youth United in Action [2] plan to hold a public forum on the issue Oct. 20 in Carbondale. This will follow a press conference held this week by the three police chiefs in the valley. The chiefs support officer Alvaro Agon [3] and accuse the groups of spreading false information about him. Representatives of the groups were not allowed at that press conference.
The groups have gathered stories from 28 students and parents who complained that Agon was frightening school kids because he was also participating in raids with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The raids ended up with some of their parents being arrested and detained. Agon was a laison between the Carbondale Police Department [4] and ICE but has resigned that position.
Throughout this controversy, Agon has won strong support from his superiors and from some community members for his work as a resource officer.
Re-1 District administrators have not taken any action on the groups' request for a policy change that would keep school resource officers from also taking part in immigration enforcement. Representatives of the groups hope that the stories from students and public sentiment at the forum will help pressure school administrators to develop a new policy.

Meteorologist Marisa Woloszyn's Forecast Discussion
We remain in an unstable air mass Saturday keeping showers on and off; we should see a few peaks of the sun, unlike Friday. Highs will be in the mid to upper 50s across the area.
Cold air will move into the area ahead of the next low pressure system. Snow levels will drop to around 3,500 ft by Saturday night and meaning mountain passes will get a light dusting to a couple of inches of new snow.
The low will park itself in the Pacific Northwest for most of next week. Scattered rain and snow showers will continue across the area (snow showers will remain above 3,000 ft). With the center of the low just off the coast, we could be looking at gusty winds Sunday night through Wednesday. High temperatures for the next week will stay in the mid to upper 50s.
Have a Superb Saturday!

Ogg Vorbis—Open, Free Audio—Set Your Media Free
We have only started the optimization process. On the decoding side, Ogg Vorbis is nearly as fast as the current MP3 decoders and should catch up soon. Several people already claim good playback on Pentium 120 machines. On the encoding side, real-time encoding is already possible on fast Pentium IIs and Pentium IIIs. Now that the API is getting stable and more features are getting knocked out, more and more people have started to turn to the issues of speed.
Comparing Vorbis to MP3 is almost unfair, since Vorbis has no channel coupling, but we're still ahead. There are some tricky patents that we must navigate, but the development team is looking to Ambisonics to fill this gap. Ambisonics was patented, but the patents have since expired. The company itself went out of business due to stiff competition from Dolby. Ambisonics technology would provide Vorbis with true three-dimensional, spherical sound, which can be mapped onto any number of speakers—all this in only four channels (one and two for stereo, three for surround and four for spherical sound). Taking advantage of channel coupling should easily drop bitrates by 40 percent.
Streaming is also very high on the list. We are currently testing streaming and should have a few test stations up before November. Soon after, Icecast should begin supporting Vorbis as its primary format for audio. This gives Internet radio fans higher quality streams, and it offers broadcasters a way out of end-of-year broadcasting royalties.
For streaming, lower bitrates are vital. Right now the lowest bitrate that the reference encoder outputs is approximately 128KBps. Typical streams range from 24KBps to 64KBps, and we'll soon focus on the tuning necessary to make low bitrate Vorbis sound fantastic. Lower sample rates are also on the horizon.
And, as always, we rigorously tune and improve the audio quality by adding quality-enhancing features and eliminating noticeable artifacts.
Ogg Vorbis 1.0, which includes the features outlined above, should be completed by the time you read this.
A lot of people ask us how we plan to take over the ground MP3 has already claimed. Some people don't even think that it's possible. I think it is. You can't really compare Vorbis to other audio codecs that have tried to accomplish what we have, because no other audio codec other than Vorbis is more free and more open than MP3. Part of the reason that the MP3 movement succeeded was due to the massive amounts of software that supported it. The software support happened because there was code lying around all over the Internet and documentation on how to use it or to write your own. Some people compare MP3 versus Vorbis to VHS versus Betamax. They say that just because we're technically superior doesn't that mean we will win. I guess those people don't realize that VHS won because the technology was actually more open.
Our strategy is to go after two groups: the artists and the developers.
Artists, and other content producers need, Vorbis to avoid paying percentages of their revenue to some technology company in Germany. Most of these people are also interested in having the best sounding quality product that they can get. People won't choose Vorbis or MP3 files simply for the sake of technology. People want music from artists they appreciate, or shows on topics they like, and they want the music to be available, transferable and easy to manipulate.
Developers want to include audio in their software—and not just for decoding and playback. Rich-media creation tools are only possible in the open-source world with open-media standards and patent-free algorithms like Ogg Vorbis. Including Vorbis into software is easy (it takes little time for a programmer to write a playback plug-in even if they are new to Vorbis and the Vorbis plug-in API).
If there is content being produced in Vorbis and applications all support Vorbis, the user probably won't even notice. Ease of use is achieved with transparency. Years from now, we might still be calling on-line music "MP3" just as some people still call making photocopies "Xeroxing", but the technology will come from different sources.
Just like any open-source project, Vorbis reaches its full potential only with the help of the community. Programmers, audiophiles, musicians and evangelists are all needed. Encode some music with Vorbis, listen to Vorbis files and let us know if you hear anything that isn't in the original. Artifacts, once someone identifies them, are usually easily fixed. If you currently have a project that could (or does) play or encode audio, try Vorbis. Not only will the audience for Vorbis grow, but users will appreciate the functionality that Vorbis offers. Instead of creating music and putting it on-line in MP3, do it in Vorbis. By producing Vorbis files, you avoid limitations that patent holders enforce, and you increase user demand for Vorbis. Tell your friends, family and coworkers about Vorbis. Any effort to promote open standards like Vorbis for Internet audio is time well spent. And at this infant stage in Vorbis' life, we could really use the help.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Is it farther or further?
late 14c., an astrological term for the situation of two heavenly bodies exactly across from one another in the heavens, from Old French oposicion (12c.) or directly from Latin oppositionem (nominative oppositio) "act of opposing, a placing against," noun of action from past participle stem of opponere "set against" (see opponent). Meaning "that which is opposite something else" is from 1540s; meaning "contrast, antagonism" first attested 1580s; sense of "political party opposed to the one in power" is from 1704. Related: Oppositional.
A characteristic movement of the primate thumb, in which the pad of the thumb can be placed in contact with the pads of the fingers of the same hand.
The position of two celestial bodies when their celestial longitude differs by 180°, especially a configuration in which Earth lies on a straight line between the Sun and a superior planet or the Moon. Planets in this position rise as the Sun sets and are visible all night long, reaching their highest point in the sky at midnight; the Moon in this position is full. Compare conjunction. See more at elongation.
in astronomy, the circumstance in which two celestial bodies appear in opposite directions in the sky. The Moon, when full, is said to be in opposition to the Sun; the Earth is then approximately between them. A superior planet (one with an orbit farther from the Sun than Earth's) is in opposition when Earth passes between it and the Sun. The opposition of a planet is a good time to observe it, because the planet is then at its nearest point to the Earth and in its full phase. The planets Venus and Mercury, whose orbits are smaller than Earth's, can never be in opposition to the Sun.

DNMT3 proteins are de novo DNA methyltransferases that are responsible for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns in mammalian genomes. Here, we have determined the crystal structures of the ATRX-DNMT3-DNMT3L (ADD) domain of DNMT3A in an unliganded form and in a complex with the amino-terminal tail of histone H3. Combined with the results of biochemical analysis, the complex structure indicates that DNMT3A recognizes the unmethylated state of lysine 4 in histone H3. This finding indicates that the recruitment of DNMT3A onto chromatin, and thereby de novo DNA methylation, is mediated by recognition of the histone modification state by its ADD domain. Furthermore, our biochemical and nuclear magnetic resonance data show mutually exclusive binding of the ADD domain of DNMT3A and the chromodomain of heterochromatin protein 1alpha to the H3 tail. These results indicate that de novo DNA methylation by DNMT3A requires the alteration of chromatin structure.

Minnesota United FC today announced it will host Barclays Premier League club Swansea City AFC in an historic match at the National Sports Center Stadium Saturday, July 19th.
"To be the first club in Minnesota history to host a match against a team from the Barclays Premier League is a thrill and an honor," said United President Nick Rogers. "To see a team with the stature of Swansea City right here in Minnesota in a venue as intimate as the National Sports Center Stadium is a truly unique opportunity. We look forward to welcoming Swansea City to Minnesota for an exciting and memorable night of football."
The match is part of Swansea City's U.S. preseason tour as they prepare for the 2014-15 Barclays Premier League season. Swansea will travel to Chicago on July 6th for training camp and will face Chivas Guadalajara of Mexico in Milwaukee on Wednesday, July 16th before facing Minnesota United on July 19th during the Schwan's USA CUP at the National Sports Center Stadium.
"I've heard positive things about Minnesota United FC," said Swansea manager Garry Monk. "They are a great organization with a strong ownership group and are doing exciting things with their club. I know they traveled to England during their preseason, stayed at St. George's Park and faced clubs like Derby County. With Minnesota currently tied for first in the North American Soccer League, we are certainly looking forward to a great challenge against a strong team this summer."
The July 19th match will mark the first time a Premier League club has ever played in Minnesota.
Minnesota United season ticket holders will be eligible to purchase tickets for this event before they go on sale to the general public. Additional details about the presale will be released soon. Minnesota United is also pleased to announce that fans who purchase tickets online through www.MNUnitedFC.com/tickets to either of United's next two home matches will also be eligible to participate in the presale.
Swansea City's tour of the United States has been organized by soccer agency PSC, who has offices in both the UK and the U.S. ( www.pscltd.co.uk ). PSC organized the Swans' previous U.S. tour to Colorado and San Jose in 2012 as well as U.S. tours for other EPL teams West Bromwich Albion, Norwich City and Everton in recent years.
Ahead of this historic match, Minnesota United returns home this weekend in a battle of first vs. second as it faces the Fort Lauderdale Strikers at National Sports Center Stadium, May 17th with kickoff set for 7:00 p.m. CDT. For tickets to this critical game, fans can head to www.MNUnitedFC.com or call 763.4SOCCER.

The Falcon Programming Language in a Nutshell
A Falcon script can define classes and instantiate objects from them, create singleton objects (with or without base classes) and apply transversal attributes to the instances. The provides keyword checks for properties being exposed by the instances:
// A class class Something( initval1, initval2 ) // Simple initialization can be done directly prop1 = initval1 prop2 = nil // init takes the parameters of the class // and performs more complex initialization init self.prop2 = initval > "Initializer of class Something" end function showMe() > "Something says: ", self.prop1, "; ", self.prop2 end end // A singleton instance. object Alone function whoAmI() > "I am alone" end end // an instance instance = Something( "one", "two" ) instance.showMe() //"Alone" is already an instance if Alone provides whoAmI Alone.whoAmI() end
Falcon has a Basic Object Model (BOM), which is available in all the items. Objects and classes can override some methods. For example, passing an item to the > print operator causes its toString BOM method to be called, and that can be overridden as follows:
object different function toString() return "is different..." end end > "the object... ", different
Falcon supports multiple inheritance, but it disambiguates it by forcing inheritance initialization and priority, depending on the order of the inheritance declarations.
Classes also support static members that can be shared between objects of the same class and methods with static blocks that can work as class-wide initializers. Methods can be retrieved and also called directly from classes when they don't need to access the self object, providing the semantic of C++/Java/C# static methods.
It is possible to merge normal procedures with methods by assigning procedures to properties:
function call_me() if self and self provides my_name > self.my_name else > "Sorry, you didn't call me right." end end object test prop1 = nil my_name = "I am a test!" function hello() > "Hello world from ", self.my_name end end // normal calls call_me() // using the procedure as a method test.prop1 = call_me test.prop1() // or a method as a procedure proc = test.hello test.my_name = "a renamed thing" // see: proc will dynamically use the right "self" proc()
Attributes are binary properties that can be either present or not present for a specific instance or object, regardless of its class.
Attributes have a great expressive power, and in Falcon, they indicate what an object is, what it has and what it belongs to, depending on the context. For example, we can define a ready attribute that indicates the objects ready for elaboration:
// declaring an attribute "ready" attributes: ready class Data( name ) name = name function process() > "Processing ", self.name, "..." end end // create 10 processors processors = [] for i in [0:10] processors += Data(i) if i > 5: give ready to processors[i] end // work with the ready ones for d in ready d.process() end
RTL provides several functions to manipulate attributes.
The has and hasnt operators check for the presence of an attribute. For example:
attributes: ready class SomeClass //... other class data ... // born ready! has ready end item = SomeClass() if item has ready > "Item was born ready!" end
The base construct of Falcon functional programming is the callable sequence, also known as Sigma. At the moment, the only sequence supported is the array, but other types of sequences (such as lists) should be supported soon.
Basically, a Sigma is a delayed call that can work like this:
function test( a, b, c ) > "Parameters:" > a > b > c end // direct test( "one", "two", "three" ) // indirect cached = [ test, "four", "five", "six" ] cached()
The call respects the procedural paradigm (variable parameters), and the array is still a normal vector that can be accessed and modified through the standard language operators and RTL functions.
This delayed call is still not a full "functional context evaluation". The proper functional evaluation process is called Sigma reduction. It recursively resolves Sigmas from inner to outer and left to right when they are at the same level, substituting them with their return value.
Special functions known by the VM as Etas start and control functional evaluation; the simplest Eta function is eval(), which initializes and performs a basic Sigma reduction.
For example, the expression "(a+b) * (c+d)" can be written in a Lisp-like sequence:
function add( a, b ): return a+b function mul( a, b ): return a*b > "(2+3)*(4+5)= ", eval(.[mul .[add 2 3] .[add 4 5]])
The .[] notation is shorthand for array declarations whose elements are separated by white space instead of an explicit ",".
Falcon RTL comes with a rich set of Etas, such as iff (functional if), cascade (which joins more standard calls in a single sequence), floop and times (different styles of functional loops), map, filter, reduce and many others.
Functional sequences can be parameterized through closure and references. For example, the above example can be made parametric in this way:
// add and mul as before... function evaluator( a, b, c, d ) return .[eval .[mul .[add a b] .[add c d]]] end tor = evaluator( 2,3,4,5 ) > "(2+3)*(4+5)= ", tor()
Traditional functional operators, such as map, filter and reduce, are supported, but the out-of-band item system expands their functionality.
Out-of-band items are items marked with a special flag through the oob() function. Although they are normal items in every other aspect, this special mark indicates that they hold unexpected, special or somehow extraordinary value traveling through functional sequences. Although this is not a direct support for monadic calculus, monads can be implemented at the script (or binary module) level through this mechanism.
Falcon also supports Lambda expressions and nested functions.
We currently are working on some extensions to make Sigmas even more configurable—for example, parameter naming (similar to Lisp field naming) and access from the outside to the unbound variables used in the sequence.
Falcon functional programming merges with OOP, as Sigmas can be set as object properties, and object methods can be used as Kappas (Sigma-callable header symbols):
object SomeObj a_property = 10 function myProp( value ) return self.a_property * value end end > "5*10=", eval( .[SomeObj.myProp 5] )
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Reinvent he did. Today, White is an entrepreneur in a Savile Row suit, the mastermind behind the $100-million White Star Line empire, whose assets include the London establishments Belvedere, L'Escargot, Luciano, and the Frankie's chain of Italian restaurants.
But you still couldn't find the guy with a sauté pan in his hand. Promoting his autobiography, Devil in the Kitchen (titled White Slave in Britain), in Chicago this past May, White reiterated his intention to keep his distance from the stove. "I can't ever cook again, not day in and day out, not professionally, just to earn money."
His 21 years in restaurant kitchens, he said, had caused a kind of social retardation and had kept him not only from getting to know his four children but from getting to know himself. (Not that he's slowed down; he recently opened Marco, the Chelsea soccer-ground restaurant he named for his youngest son, and wrapped up a debut as host of the U.K. version of Hell's Kitchen—known in the U.S. for the antics of former host and current White rival Gordon Ramsay.)
So what on earth is Marco Pierre White now doing crouched in a dusty roadside shed in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, stirring a pot of bananas and oats next to a grinning Rastafarian?
Back in May, the chef (who up until three years ago suffered from an acute fear of flying) had escaped from his book tour for a brief visit with his friend Gordon "Butch" Stewart, owner of the island's Royal Plantation resort (as well as the more famous Sandals and Beaches).
"You can't believe the produce," White had gushed to me over the phone back then. "The trees are bursting with breadfruit and mango. All along the road, guys are carrying lines dripping with fresh fish. Food is everywhere."
And so, five months later, here he is. And he's not simply lying around on the beach. (In fact, says White, he detests idleness. "I don't do vacations. Work, output, doing things, that's what energizes me.") Marco Pierre White has come to Jamaica to cook. After almost eight years in the wilderness, the man considered perhaps the finest chef of his generation has reemerged to develop a menu for his buddy's resort. Assuming all goes well over the course of a week, Le Papillon, Stewart's fine-dining establishment, will reopen later this year with a menu of island-inflected food and the name Marco Pierre White at the Royal Plantation hung over its door.
In rolled-up Levi's, slip-on Keds, and a loose-fitting T-shirt, the six-foot-three chain-smoker looks on as the Rasta, Donald "Cereal" Brown, simmers a vanilla-scented porridge over a wood fire on the floor. As the concoction heats up, Cereal prepares his "magnum," a thick tonic of banana, oats, sweetsop, peanuts, and malted soy milk. "When you're having some sex," he explains to his visitor, "this will give you extra energy."

Q&A: Carnival Discusses Latest Cruise Ship Mechanical Problems
(7:15 p.m. EDT) -- A problem with
Carnival Dream
's emergency backup generator has forced Carnival to
the remainder of its Caribbean itinerary; passengers onboard Carnival Dream are getting an extra day in
St. Maarten
and will be flown directly to Orlando or their home city tomorrow. The problem with the backup system, which is designed in part to protect select hotel services in the event of a main power failure, actually caused some hotel services to cease functioning temporarily, Cruise Critic learned during an exclusive one-on-one with Ruben Rodriguez,
's executive vice president of ship operations.
Rodriguez explained some of the mechanics of the technical problem, why the ship cannot sail with passengers and why problems aren't always such a bad thing.
Walk me through what happened on Carnival Dream. How did a problem with an emergency backup generator affect systems normally powered by the main generator?
Ruben Rodriguez:
It's part of our regular maintenance process to test the backup generator while Carnival Dream is in St. Maarten, the last port in its itinerary. During the regular test a breaker tripped, which identified a technical malfunction. On newer ships, like Carnival Dream, though it is not a requirement, it is not uncommon for some hotel services, like elevators and toilets, to be connected to [both the main generator and] the emergency switchboard. And the reason is that if you have a failure in your main power plant, you can continue to provide some of those services. So when the ship had a malfunction in the electrical system of the backup generator, it tripped some of those services. But that's why we could get it [elevators and toilets] back up [by connecting only through main systems]. Later, when they were trying to repair the emergency backup generator, it took those systems down again. At no time did it interrupt the main power or propulsion.
How come you can't just reset the breaker the way you would do in a house?
Typically when breakers trip they are indicators of something else going on, which triggers a much more exhaustive process to figure out what is doing the tripping. After multiple attempts, we were able to figure out the root cause.
So was the root cause fixed?
We concluded we are unable to repair the emergency backup generator. And in an abundance of caution, with all those guests onboard in conditions where we do not have an emergency generator, we will fly them home.
Why did Carnival need to cancel the next sailing? How long will repairs take?
We have permission from our Flag Country (Panama), our Classification Society (Lloyds Register) and the Coast Guard to sail the ship back and we will sail back with our crew. Our repair requires another generator, wiring and cranes that are not available in St. Maarten, so we will do the repair in Port Canaveral. That will begin when the ship arrives. And we want to repair it and get backup generation back online before we do another cruise. We're working through those plans now. We're hopeful that this will be done by sometime next week. It should be a pretty rapid repair. I'm optimistic.
How did you let passengers know what was happening?
Guests were in St. Maarten yesterday, what was supposed to be their last port day, and they returned to the ship last night at which time we alerted them to problems. At that time we believed we would be sailing that night. We concluded in the middle of the night, around 1 a.m., that we could not get the emergency generator back on line and that we would be flying them home. We chose not to wake them up with that announcement. When they woke up, we let them know and encouraged them to go ashore and provided complimentary water taxi service. At no point were guests held hostage on the ship.
What services are being provided to passengers on the ship?
All of the activities and features of Carnival Dream are operational. Lots of activities were already planned since today was supposed to be a "Fun Day at Sea." Those are all happening. Plus, we are planning a special dinner and concert tonight, including a special performance by three-time Grammy winner Jon Secada. One of my team members is on his way there to host some of these activities. We're trying to make sure they have a great time before flying them home. Additionally, we are offering free Internet access and phone calls so they can alert their loved ones about any changes in travel plans and to let them know they are safe. We are also refunding the last three days of their cruise and giving them a discount on a future cruise, and we are paying for all their travel back home.
What about plans to get them home?
We're working through all of that now. For a number of guests who are not originally from central Florida, we're flying them directly back to their home cities. Other guests we're flying to Orlando and taking them to port to get their cars. Charter flights start tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. and continue throughout the day and into Saturday. In these situations, as much as we'd love to get everybody out in one day, because we're talking about thousands of people and the constraints of the airports in St. Maarten and Orlando, it has to continue throughout the day. We don't know yet how quickly we'll be able to conclude it.
When will Carnival Dream sail back to Port Canaveral?
That will be driven by when we get all the guests off the ship and on their way home. We'll probably leave soon after all our guests are off the ship.
Is there a fundamental problem with ship maintenance across the Carnival Cruise Lines fleet? Two major engine problems in two months is a lot.
No. Our main goal is to provide fun, memorable vacations, and you can't do that if they're not safe. Safety is our first priority. Yes, there were two incidents in one month, but they're completely unrelated incidents. There is no indication that there are any specific or root causes of these incidents. After
Carnival Splendor
, we reviewed our maintenance processes, learned some lessons and addressed them. All forms of transportation are actually pretty safe, whether its cars, ships or planes. But accidents do happen, and we need to learn from those accidents and do our best to prevent them from happening again and mitigate the consequences when they do happen. After Carnival Splendor, we did have quite a few lessons and we made decisions to make changes and we invested $10 million in changes. And a lot of those changes worked on the Triumph. The Coast Guard actually praised the crew on the Triumph for extinguishing the fire so quickly and that was a product of the lessons learned from the Splendor.
So this incident and
Carnival Triumph
are opportunities to learn something?
We are doing an extensive review of the fleet with three objectives to prevent things like this from happening again. The first objective, especially from the Triumph, is there are lots of things we can do on fire safety and detecting and extinguishing fires quickly so it doesn't cause any injuries. Second, you want to make sure that you have power plant redundancy, so that if you have a fire or some type of incident, it doesn't put out propulsion or hotel services. Our review is very focused on that. The third layer of protection we're reviewing is if the first two pieces fail, you want to have backup power generations. Not only that supplies the major systems, but also critical hotels components like galleys, toilets, elevators. So we're looking for opportunities to invest here, and CLIA has aligned with us as well to do this across the entire industry. You will see us sharing this review and these learnings in the next couple of weeks.
Does Carnival have an image problem? How can Carnival change the perception that it is skimping on maintenance and safety?
Jim Berra, chief marketing officer:
You'd have to be under a rock to not have seen the coverage of the Triumph and now even of the Dream. But as we do our review and learn, we think it's important that we publicize and communicate those efforts effectively. We don't want people to think we're sitting on our hands waiting for the Coast Guard Report. We're not. We're taking action right away, as soon as we find solutions, and we want to make sure that people understand that.
When a substantial mechanical issue occurs, what is the protocol for alerting the authorities, passengers and the media?
We have protocols for both internal and external communication. It starts with Flag (Panama) and Class. When the ship is alongside port, the Coast Guard is not involved, but we always communicate with the Coast Guard, since we are a major U.S. carrier. In this case, since Carnival Dream is in St. Maarten, it was not obvious who in the Coast Guard to go to because there is no Coast Guard in St. Maarten. But by the time the Coast Guard reached out because a passenger had contacted them, we were already in contact with the Coast Guard about our contingency plans.
Our protocol for communicating with guests is to be very proactive and very upfront and honest. We made announcements yesterday about a delayed departure because at that point we really thought we would leave. It wasn't until the middle of the night that we concluded we would not be able to leave. We chose not to wake the guests up and announce our plans because they were sleeping and we didn't want to wake them up when there was nothing to be done about it.
As for the press, we put out a statement this morning about 8:45 a.m. We wanted to make sure that we understood the situation and how we were going to handle everything first. And we didn't want to tell the media until we had told our guests. We put out another statement at 10:45 a.m., and then through social media and other outlets, we communicated the facts and answered questions as they arrived.
What complications are caused by cruisers without passports when situations like this occur?
We've already addressed this issue with the relevant authorities in St. Maarten and the United States. We have a good relationship with Customs and Border Patrol, and they've already assured us there will not be any issues with guests traveling without passports. It has been our experience that we've never had problems when guests for whatever reason have not had passports. It is not a major concern for us.
Would you consider changing the rules so that cruisers have to have passports?
We want to accommodate guests with and without passports.
When a problem occurs that's substantial enough to, in your mind, warrant compensation, what's the decision-making process? What factors did you use to determine compensation for both passengers on the shortened cruise and passengers on Saturday's canceled cruise?
We do have some guidelines we follow internally but basically we have two objectives. The first is that we want to make them whole. For someone on the next cruise, they have paid for a cruise already and in some cases they have committed to travel plans that cost money. So the first step is to make them whole. Additionally, we want to give them an opportunity to have a great value on another Carnival cruise.
What happens to the crew -- wages, etc. -- when a cruise is cut short or canceled due to maintenance issues?
The philosophy is the same. We care about our crew very much. If we don't charge the guests gratuities, we then cover that for the crew. And in this case, the crew will remain onboard. In the case of Triumph, the crew were also taken care of. After Triumph, they needed a break so we put them up in hotels with food for a few days. The ones that were near the end of their contract, we flew them home. Others that had recently started a contract were transferred to other ships.
Where is Carnival in terms of the fleetwide review effort that president and CEO Gerry Cahill talked about on Tuesday, and which you referenced above?
We've made a lot of progress. This is a big part of my job and my team's job. The review started immediately after the Triumph incident, even while the ship was sailing back to Mobile. What we're doing with Carnival Triumph will be the first example of how this review works and how we'll apply changes. In the coming weeks, we'll talk about the lessons we've learned from that review, what can be repaired, what we can do and our plans for the rest of the fleet. We don't have to wait for the Coast Guard to write its report to do this.

March 23-July 6, 2014: Glenn Owen Retrospective
The work of Glenn Owen (1935-2013) exhibited at the Glen House represents the artist's work from 1956 to the time of his death, December 3, 2013.
The exhibit gives an overview of the versatility of the artist, the variety of his work; it is a small selection from an extensive body of work. Glenn Owen was a prolific artist; a large volume of work as well as those of us who knew him attest to it. Every work here displayed is an example only of the series of work represented. He was a painter primarily, but he worked as well in other media. His series of paintings often extended to include a variety of media in drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and enamel work. He was a versatile artist, an artist who explored the world around him, keenly aware of all the arts, conversant with works of art and the work of his contemporaries: an artist who contributed his own distinctive vision to the world.
I met Glenn in 1955; we were both students at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. He was, even then, recognized as a promising young artist, respected for his work by students and teachers alike. There was no medium in which he did not excel. He received scholarships and numerous prizes. In seminars, held twice monthly, in which student work was being critiqued, Glenn's work always received admiration and praise. The volume of work he produced astonished us, and provoked a bit of envy as well. Still, we appreciated the directness and intensity, the integrity of his work, the courage of his undertaking. He was not afraid to explore the works of other artists; in fact, he found it necessary for his own development to understand what contemporary artists were saying, by working out the meaning of it in his own work. It was an inquiry to gain insight, which further informed his own work; a conversation, of sorts, with the artists of his time; a communion.
Conversant with important works of art, Glenn brought the contemporary art world to us at the Academy, giving it meaning through his work. Like a dancer, aware of the choreography at hand, he embodied the markings found to flesh out a dance of his own. What he brought to this endeavor was his vitality, his awareness and keen insight; his integrity.
From such fertile beginnings, the artistic development of Glenn Owen continued. The work evolved into series of paintings, one series following the other; some he worked on for years, others were short lived, and like a needed respite. Some concerns interrupted a series, and he would go back to it later, revitalizing an old interest. A series ended when the fluency achieved flowed into another idea, the work evolved into another concern. A virtuosity in color continued. Sometimes he likened his work to music (he always listened to music, especially while he was painting). His last series he likened to the music of Bach.
He worked tirelessly. There was hardly a day in Glenn's life that he did not work in his studio. In his classroom, in conversations with others, in the life of his every day, it was always art that predominated. Even in his late seventies, living in seclusion, he would rise at 6am and paint until 2pm with the same vitality and fervor. His work was the source of joy, he said. It gave meaning to life.
It is his work that speaks to us now. On looking at the exhibit as a whole, one can be overwhelmed by the variety of approaches. But the source behind this variety, the predominant voice of the artist, is clear, distinctive, consistent and recognizable. His use of color reveals the master at work. From the earliest beginnings to the end, throughout the evolution that created an extensive body of work, his voice can be traced in form and color to reveal itself, true and constant, bearing witness to the sincere intent of the artist. And, as Glenn, not too long ago, told me: this work is a conversation with God.
– Luisa Lang Owen
Memorial for Glenn Owen, April 6, 2014

It takes two to tango andSubmitted by GuestWith2XXChromosomes (not verified) on Fri, 01/20/2012 - 8:36am.
It takes two to tango and two to make a baby. While these women are obviously very ignorant about human reproduction and sexuality, obviously the fathers are just as ignorant. It's sadder still that in 2012 we are still holding the woman responsible for using birth control. Condoms are actually much cheaper than birth control pills. You need a prescription for birth control pills; but you can buy condoms over the counter. This story speaks to the sad state of sexual education in this country. Obviously, parents aren't doing their job educating their children - perhaps because they too are not knowledgeable. And schools - which are the proper forum for educating about a biological process such as reproduction - can't do it because of the prudes who can't imagine their little precious princes and princesses doing what teens have been doing for thousands of years. This is what happens when parents and schools fail to teach about the most basic of all biological processes - as basic as breathing. »

Question:I had a full facelift about 10 years ago. I was left with huge scars on the side of my head that have made it impossible for me to wear my hair short or pulled back because they are so visible. Plus, it has caused my hair to become extremely thin on the sides/temples of my head and my bangs are almost gone now, which means my forehead is now really big. Also, as a result of the surgery, I now have a big blue vein running straight down from the left edge under the bottom lid of my left eye that was never there before. What caused that? Is there any way to fix all of this? I did my research and the doctor was a board-certified plastic surgeon and was highly recommended. I am not out to sue anybody that would be a total waste of time and money. I just want it fixed, because now I have been left with obvious scars, much less hair and a huge blue vein under my left eye that was never there before. Can any of this be fixed? The surgeon also did lipo on my stomach and it resulted in being really lumpy and weird looking. Can that be fixed as well? Thanks for your time.
Unfortunately, all surgical procedures will leave scars, though in your case they sound like the result is less than can be expected. In cases such as this, there are options for scar revision and this you need to discuss with your surgeon, or seek a second opinion. Facelift scars should be hidden in the natural creases in front of the ear and along the hairline, and while surgical revision will not remove them, it may improve the position.
The hairline can be lowered by some surgical procedures and this may be an option in your case. The vein that has appeared is due to altered blood flow in you face following the surgery and can be difficult to fix although options do exist, including having it removed by laser or injection methods. The opinion of a doctor with a lot of experience in veins of the face is what is needed. One of the problems of liposuction can be the lumpiness in the fat and skin after the procedure. Again, a review by the surgeon who performed your surgery, or a second opinion, is what is needed. There are treatment options.

Price: $1.99
Version Reviewed: 2.0

User Interface Rating:
Re-use / Replay Value Rating:
Overall Rating:
We initially reviewed Camera Genius in August of 2009. Then, it was a fledgling app and received 3.5 stars out of 5. Since then, CodeGoo has updated Camera Genius to version 2.0, adding/improving new features in the process. So, how does it stand now?
As evidenced by the number of photography apps aimed at enhancing the iPhone's bare-bones camera, it's no secret that users/owners desire certain additional camera features that should be considered standard. While there are many applications currently in the app store devoted to resolving some of these issues, Camera Genius was developed to address all of these issues. It was also developed to provide users with additional functionality for their iPhone camera, such as burst-mode shooting, time and location stamp and anti-shake stabilization.
Recently, many new features have been added to Camera Genius, such as the ability to edit the location stamp and add captions, burst mode shooting (take 3 shots in rapid succession; 2 with the 3G and 1st Generation iPhone models), the ability to add a timestamp and location to photos, a Confirmed Saving feature, which allows users to decide which photos to keep/delete when taking them and the ability to share photos via email or by using the clipboard.
In addition, version 2.0 features a new Video Mode, which allows iPhone owners with any model to shoot videos using their iPhone.
Camera Genius' menu interface is clean and uncluttered, allowing virtually anyone to open the app and immediately begin using it, without any confusion regarding its features. It essentially consists of the viewfinder and three buttons located along the bottom of the screen: The Features arrow, the shutter button and a button which opens your Camera Roll containing your saved photos.
Tapping the Features arrow produces Camera Genius' features list: Video Mode, Zoom, Sound Capture, Anti-Shake, Big Button, Guides, Timer, Burst, Settings and Camera Manual. The Settings menu provides users with the option of showing their location and time stamp on photos, the ability to set the date and time and the option to confirm saving. In addition to containing extensive Help information regarding each of Camera Genius' features, the Camera Manual also provides advice and tips on taking good pictures, addressing and explaining such issues as perspective, contrast, focal point, lighting and so on. The information contained in the Camera Manual is surprisingly helpful and easy to use, containing photographic examples and language that is easy to understand and, more importantly, learn. Users can also visit Codegoo's Camera Genius website for a good video demonstrating its features.
Taking pictures with Camera Genius is easy, fun and very straightforward. Prior to taking a picture, simply select the/those feature(s) you want to use then commence snapping. Camera Genius uses the iPhone camera's built-in auto-focus and tap-to-zoom. I took great pictures using each feature and encountered no problems. The Big Button feature is a little misleading, as users can touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo; there is no "Big Button," per se. Taking pictures using the Zoom resulted in crisp photos, which is noteworthy, in that many applications I've used featuring zoom capabilities were sub-par. The Sound Capture, Anti-Shake, Timer and Burst also work as advertised. The Timer provides users with the option to take timed photos in increments of 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 300 second intervals and the timer can be restarted at anytime.
The Video mode also worked flawlessly, allowing me to take an 8 minute video while I waited for a time limitation, but none came.
The only issues I experienced using the app were slow saving times when taking several pictures. Aside from that, I could find no flaws with this application. At $1.99, it's definitely a bargain and worthy of anyone's photography application arsenal. I highly recommend Camera Genius and have designated a spot for it within my own iPhone real estate.

Universally acknowledged as one of the foremost composers of our time, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies has made a significant contribution to musical history through his wide-ranging and prolific output. He lives in the Orkney Islands off the north coast of Scotland, where he writes most of his music. In a worklist that spans more than five decades, he has written across a broad range of styles, yet his music always communicates directly and powerfully, whether in his profoundly argued symphonic works, his music-theatre works or witty light orchestral works.
Maxwell Davies' major dramatic works include full-length ballets Salome and Caroline Mathilde, music-theatre works Eight Songs for a Mad King and Miss Donnithorne's Maggot, and operas Resurrection, The Lighthouse, The Doctor of Myddfai, and Taverner, which was recently released by NMC Records on a Grammy-nominated disc with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Oliver Knussen. Maxwell Davies's most recent opera Kommilitonen! (Young Blood!) received critical acclaim for its world premiere run of performances at London's Royal Academy of Music, with The Daily Telegraph labelling the composer "A Master Symphonist." Written specifically to be performed by students to a libretto by the work's director David Pountney, Kommilitonen! received its US premiere last season at The Juilliard School in New York, the opera's co-commissioner.
Maxwell Davies' huge output of orchestral work comprises nine symphonies – hailed by The Times as "the most important symphonic cycle since Shostakovich" – as well as numerous concerti including most recently his violin concerto Fiddler on the Shore, written for Daniel Hope and first performed in 2009 by the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and at the BBC Proms. Maxwell Davies' light orchestral works include An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise and Mavis in Las Vegas, and five large-scale works for chorus including the oratorio Job. His most recent series is the landmark cycle of ten string quartets, the Naxos Quartets, described in the Financial Times as "one of the most impressive musical statements of our time", and in 2009 the Southbank Centre hosted the first presentation of the complete Naxos Quartet cycle by the Park Lane Group.
Maxwell Davies' latest major work is his Ninth Symphony, co-commissioned by the Liverpool Philharmonic and Helsinki Philharmonic, which receives its London premiere at the BBC Proms in summer 2012. Other notable premieres of the 2012/13 season include a new piece for string orchestra, Concerto Accademico, co-commissioned by the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna and the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester. Maxwell Davies is Composer in Residence at this season's edition of the Trondheim Chamber Music Festival, as well as at the 2013 Beijing Modern Music Festival.
Maxwell Davies has held the position of Composer/Conductor with both the Royal Philharmonic and BBC Philharmonic Orchestras. He has guest-conducted orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Russian National Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestra. He retains close links with the St. Magnus Festival, Orkney's annual arts festival which he founded in 1977, is Composer Laureate of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Visiting Professor at Canterbury Christchurch University and the Royal Academy of Music.
Many of Maxwell Davies' works have been recorded over the years, and most recently Naxos launched a major re-release of a seventeen-disc series of recordings including a number of significant works such as the symphonies, The Lighthouse, An Orkney Wedding with Sunrise and the Strathclyde concerti.
Maxwell Davies was knighted in 1987 and appointed Master of the Queen's Music in 2004, in which role he seeks to raise the profile of music in Great Britain, as well as writing many works for Her Majesty the Queen and for royal occasions.

Language: English
Publisher:Hovel Audio
Mardel Price $19.99
Being close to God means communicating with Him-telling Him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but that also can be so difficult.
How do we hear his voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear?
The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our creator. In this updated classic, originally published as In Search of Guidance, the author provides a rich, spiritual insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with Him in the work of His kingdom.
Review: "Few books have challenged me like this one. I would urge every serious minded Christian to read it at your own risk." - Bill Hybels, author of Too Busy Not to Pray

It is time for some heavy duty confrontation between Niyati (Aastha Chaudhary) and Ishwar (Tabrez Khan) to be witnessed by the viewers in the upcoming episodes of Sahara One's show "Niyati". As already seen in the story so far, Niyati and Ishwar have only hatred for each other and the same will continue in the track to unfold.
Further in the plot it will be seen that Maa Durga's jagrata is being planned by the families of Ishwar and Niyati. Ishwar's mother Parvati and Niyati arrive at the same shop to purchase photo frames of the goddess Maa Durga, which mistakenly get exchanged. Parvati, earlier having met Niyati, and being fond of her, will visit Niyati's place to get back her frame and will extend an invitation to Niyati to attend the jagrata at her house.
Knowing about Parvati being Ishwar's mother, Niyati will be hesitant to visit her house. However her her father Siddharth will coax her into attending the ceremony. On her arrival at Ishwar's house she will be insulted by Ishwar and his grandmother Mai. But being a strong willed woman, Niyati will give it back to them word by word. A huge drama will ensue in the midst of the celebrations.

Teach People How to Write Their Own Autobiography and
Help them write their own story!
Statistics show that greater than 80% of Americans have thought about or have the desires to write and publish a book of some sort. A great many of them want to write an autobiography or in other words their own story. An autobiography is the story of ones life wrapped up in one book, it often has the good, the bad, and the ugly all tied together in sequence. There are many reasons people want to write their own autobiography. One of the most popular has been to help others who are or may be in the same situation. By creating an autobiography, they can help their readers learn how to cope with various situations that may occur in ones life.
However, many people are not writers, they are not even sure where to begin, and this of course is where you come in. You can create an excellent business in helping people create the thought process and put their own autobiography onto paper. You can make a good deal of money collaborating with a person in efforts to help them create their autobiography or memoirs, and there are many various ways that you can offer your services. You could offer online classes that will allow you, and your students, to utilize the vast expanse of the Internet in learning how to write an autobiography and memoir.

By creating a website that is resourceful and attractive to your potential customers. Provide them with information on your services, as well as some resources for further investigating their desires to write a memoir or autobiography. You should outline good and bad reasons for writing an autobiography; this will help weed-out those who are writing the book for the wrong reasons. You should set these forth reasons why you will not help a person in learning to write their book. These reasons should include; the desire to make a great deal of money (Unless the person is someone extremely famous, there is not a good deal of money to be made by writing an autobiography), for revenge purposes, or to create a history that is false or untrue.
Good reasons for writing an autobiography could include; leaving a message for generations in the future, to create an account of your history and heritage, to gain closure to an event or period of their lives, to better understand experiences that have occurred within one's life, and to share with others who they are. Your goal will be to teach them the structure of a memoir or autobiography plus what to include within the book. Teaching others how to write their own autobiography can be an extremely lucrative money making business opportunity, if you put the right efforts into force.
Much success to you,
