High-tech cranes, bigger ships, cleaner skies and more jobs ― that's the way Al Moro, Acting Executive Director of the City of Long Beach Harbor Department, summed up the Port of Long Beach's 2013 and the expectations for the year just started, at Thursday morning's biggest-ever State of the Port address.
Harbor Commission President Doug Drummond introduced Moro with his own hopeful outlook for 2014 during the annual event, which this year drew an audience of more than 700 at a downtown Long Beach hotel.
The Port of Long Beach, the nation's second-busiest seaport, is making tremendous strides in its efforts to modernize and improve its ability to compete with other seaports, by upgrading terminals, roadways, bridges and railways, all as part of its 10-year, $4 billion capital improvement program, Moro said.
As a civil engineer, Moro said he marvels at the wide array of engineering projects he is overseeing ― like the 300-acre Middle Harbor Terminal Redevelopment where next-generation cranes have arrived, and the massive Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement that will create a new icon in the city's skyline.
Moro noted that while the Harbor Department's engineers have been modernizing the facilities, the Port ushered in more than 11 percent growth in container cargo and continued to reduce air pollution from Port sources ― diesel particulates alone are down 81 percent since 2005.
Last year was the third-best in Port history for cargo containers, Moro said, and more is on the way.
"In the next two years, we expect to surpass more than 7 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), our peak before the recession," Moro said. "Our economy is getting better and the Port of Long Beach is leading the way. Cargo gains translate into more jobs at the Port and throughout the region. Our Port supports 30,000 jobs in Long Beach, more than 300,000 jobs regionally, and 1.5 million nationally."
Harbor Commission President Drummond said he is excited by the Port's progress, and confident the infrastructure improvements will keep the Port competitive.
"Our No. 1 priority at the Port remains to complete our projects under construction on time and on budget so that we can all benefit from these massive improvements," said Drummond.

A distinctive trombonist with a sly wit and the ability to sound as if he were playing underwater, Vic Dickenson was an asset to any session on which he appeared. He stated out in the 1920s and '30s playing in the Midwest. Associations with Blanche Calloway (1933-1936), Claude Hopkins (1936-1939), Benny Carter (1939), Count Basie (1940), Carter again (1941), and Frankie Newton (1941-1943) preceded a high-profile gig with Eddie Heywood's popular sextet (1943-1946); Dickenson also played and recorded with Sidney Bechet. From then on he was a freelancing soloist who spent time on the West Coast, Boston, and New York, appearing on many recordings (including some notable dates for Vanguard) and on the legendary Sound of Jazz telecast (1957). In the 1960s, Dickenson co-led the Saints and Sinners, toured with George Wein's Newport All-Stars, and worked regularly with Wild Bill Davison and Eddie Condon. During 1968-1970, he was in a quintet with Bobby Hackett and in the 1970s, he sometimes played with the World's Greatest Jazz Band.

Saints RB Bush has surgery
Published: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 12:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 12:49 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS The New Orleans Saints have confirmed that running back Reggie Bush had surgery on his left knee, and will require months of rehabilitation.
However, Bush is expected to be ready for minicamp in June.
The surgery in December entailed drilling small holes in the bone around the knee joint in order to generate soft tissue that mimics the padding effect of cartilage.
Bush has had repeated problems with his left knee the past two seasons.
He was placed on injured reserve after the latest injury in the Dec. 11 game against Chicago.
Bushs injury initially was reported as a sprained medial collateral ligament, which doesnt usually require surgery.
But the team confirmed today that he had surgery.

S'no excuse: Pats LB Spikes almost cut for being late, blaming snow
JAN 11, 2014 2:41p ET
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will not accept tardiness under any circumstances.
Typically, Belichick will send players home if they're late to practice or a team meeting. Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes was placed on injured reserve on Monday because he was late to a team meeting last Friday during the bye week, FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo confirmed Saturday. Spikes was nearly released, but the team agreed to place him on injured reserve so he'd receive a full playoff share.
Spikes tweeted that he couldn't get out of his driveway last Friday after a snowstorm.
This is reminiscent of a situation in 2009 when Belichick sent linebackers Gary Guyton, Adalius Thomas and Derrick Burgess and wide receiver Randy Moss home for being late to a team meeting in the snow.
Burgess, Thomas and Moss were gone from New England the next season. Spikes was absent from practice on Dec. 4, 2013 for non-injury-related reasons. He also chose to work out on his own during Patriots OTAs rather than spend time with the rest of his teammates.
Spikes was having a productive season before injuring his knee late in the year. However, Garafolo reports that he could've played this week.
Spikes will be a free agent and the Pats are expected to let him leave, Garafolo reports.

Release Date:
July 31, 2001
At 24, Cyndi Thomson's deepest country music influence is current diva Trisha Yearwood, who herself was only a third-generation pop-country singer who transcended the genre's limitations with a rich voice and killer songs. But Thomson's youth shouldn't be held against her. For in the field of curtain-shirted rock roll wannabes and Brooks Dunn clones and Shania Twain-esque glamor queens who couldn't sing a lick if there weren't pitch levelers in recording studios, Thomson is a rarity. As a singer she posses a genuine slippery, smoky alto that reaches deep inside the heart for the lyric rather than in the trembling upper registers of her instrument. She has the songs too, given that her producer and co-writer is none other than Tommy James. Lastly, she's a country singer first and a pop singer second. My World will, hopefully, lay claim to a slot on the country chart near the top, which would mean there was hope for Nash Vegas (not a lot, but a smidge anyway -- which is more than there is now). Sure, there are the requisite fiddles on her record, but there are also banjos and flat-picked guitars, as well as recorders, Hammond B-3s (as on the single "What I Really Meant to Say"). The single is clearly meant to put the album in the hands and minds (not like they really have them, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this set) of country music radio station programmers. Once said single charts, the label digs into the disc for further material, hopefully to the title track or "Hope You're Doing Fine," with its ringing mandolin and pedal steel whine. Ultimately, My World has some concessions to the pop market: it's slickly produced; there are some taut, pop sheeny arrangements and a few drum machines here and there. But compared to the absolute crap being cranked out of Nash Vegas, this is a bona fide country record in the same tradition as Thomson's mentor Yearwood. And there are a lot lower sights (especially now) to set your eyes on. Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface [4th Edition]
David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy
Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface [4th Edition]
Morgan Kaufmann | 2009 | ISBN: 0123744938 | 912 pages | File type: PDF | 255 mb
This textbook provides a basic introduction to the fundamentals of current computer designs. As the title suggests, the text skirts the border between hardware and software. After an overview of the subject and a discussion of performance, the book launches into technical matter such as instruction sets, how they are constrained by the underlying processor hardware, the constraints on their design, and more. An excellent critique of computer arithmetic methods leads to a high-level discussion on processor design. Following is a great introduction to pipelining, nice coverage of memory issues, and solid attention to peripherals. The book concludes with a brief discussion of the additional issues inherent in multiprocessing machines. The extremely lucid description is grounded in real-world examples. Interesting exercises help reinforce the material, and each section contains a write-up of the historical background of each idea. Computer Organization and Design is accessible to the beginner, but also offers plenty of valuable knowledge for experienced engineers.

Greetings, oracle. I see that your "pagan" entry was overturned again. And I am aware of the claims that some people want to make about the associations, and why. I thought you should be aware that "Easter" is not really even the name of observance. It is, and always was, the Christian celebration of Jesus' resurrection, which is why it is completely international in spread. And its name almost everywhere is "Pascha", excepting only areas where the English language took precedence in recent centuries due to the spread of the British Empire. That is (therefore) widespread, but it is not predominant, either in region or in history. Variations of "Pascha" are also to be found in a variety of English-speaking areas, although its use has receded (not disappeared), and even in so heavily-influenced an area as Scotland. It's all documented here. So, your opinion is heard and recognized, and many others have expressed similar ones in the past, but there has never been sufficient grounds for establishing more than unobtrusive claims, and nothing close to "exclusively pagan". So please don't be frustrated, but be fully aware that recognized, reliable sources are the basis for making edits, and consideration of recognition or reliability rests with the editing community as a whole rather than with individuals. Thanks.
By the way, although you may see I am a Christian, I am not one who personally gets upset about notions of associations between Christians and pagans, now or historically. It happened, time and time again; it was inevitable, and quite the opposite of a bad thing for all involved, whatever their beliefs. And about that, nothing has changed, either. Evensteven (talk) 22:32, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- @Evensteven:, I'm not too worried about it to be honest. In the UK, it is taught in primary school that Easter was celebrated well before the founding of Christianity. It is taught that Easter is the name of the Pagen goddess of fertility, celebrated with symbols of fertility such as rabbits, lambs and eggs. The goddess Easter also lends her name to the female fertility hormone oestrogen or estrogen. Being a Christian, I don't think you're best placed making contributions to Christian pages as bias would be always be a factor. Perhaps instead you could try to figure out how to fit 3 days and 3 nights between a single event on Good Friday and a single event on Easter Sunday :-) The oracle 2015 (talk) 11:46, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, it took me around 7 seconds to find this article on a very reputable website; Pagan Roots of Easter The oracle 2015 (talk) 20:23, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- My, how secular religion is being absorbed in the UK. Reputable website? Perhaps for some things. But without even a mention of the author of the article? That, at least, couldn't be accepted as reliable. I also can't see how failing to be a Christian makes it possible for one to understand anything about the religion. Oh, dates and other raw data can be memorized and processed, but that's a far cry from understanding. Turns out that is a working principle in every scholastic discipline, also.
- As for counting, a little secular knowledge is sufficient. Zero had not been invented in Christ's time; in fact, it was six centuries later that the first notion of it turned up in India, another two centuries to be available to the Arabs, who passed it on to a European or two in the 1200s, where it still was almost unknown for another two to three hundred years. What's the impact? Everyone counted like the Romans - not because of Roman political dominance, but because it was the reasonable way to count when you have no zero. Remember Roman numerals? Ask this: how many days from Monday to Thursday? Roman answer: four. Monday is 1, Tuesday 2, Wed 3, Thu 4. You say, but we don't count Monday! Why? Because we start at zero. Monday is zero with us. The Romans would have said that you are in error because you forgot to count Monday, and when they count, they start at one. For this reason, they would say that Thursday is the fourth day after Monday. I know it violates our modern sensibilities, but scholars understand the principle well.
- The Church never said "three days and three nights" between the crucifixion and resurrection, it said "three days": Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And it was not counting hours; it was counting days. Christ spent "three days in the tomb": Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Not 72 hours, but he was buried Friday before sunset (so that it could be done before the Jewish Sabbath began), lay there all day Saturday (the only full 24-hour-type "day"), and arose on Sunday, which began as the sun set on Saturday, making it sometime during the night. The Bible records that the myrrh-bearing women came to the tomb "early in the morning" of Sunday, bearing spices to complete the burial rituals, having waited for enough light to work by on the day after the Sabbath (Saturday). Believe the account or historicity of the resurrection or not as you will, but the counting of three days makes perfect sense for that time. No Christian has ever counted 72 hours, or three days and three nights. The Church's services, 1600 years old in the case of the Orthodox, continue the age-old celebration and observation. But three days is really not confusing in that context because the details make plain that you're not talking about 72 hours, or three nights. Now, if you were a Christian, you would know that out of hand, and would never have stumbled into that silly suggestion. A little understanding is all it takes, and not even religious understanding all the time. Christians are just as able to be unbiased as non-Christians, and non-Christians have no advantage there either. It's about understanding. Evensteven (talk) 07:26, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sir, there are no notable secular religions in Great Britain. The only secular religion I'm aware of is Buddhism and there's very few in Britain. Those without religion and Christians make up the bulk of the population here. Whilst I acknowledge that there is not a Roman numeral for zero, I doubt very much that on the adoption of Arabic numerals by the West, the value of Roman numerals increased by one. The Roman numeral III has a value of 3 and always has had. And are you seriously complaining that the authorship of the article to which I referred you is almost as anonymous as the biblical authors? The oracle 2015 (talk) 08:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- @The oracle 2015: Oh, please; we're not communicating very well here. Buddhism is not a secular religion; it is a religion, pure and simple. By secular religion I am referring to the modern practice followed by many people of rejecting "religion" (by which most mean Christianity first, but all others too). They take their values from the world around them, which makes them "secular", and adopt what they individually find suitable. But they do have values, and they hold these values in much the same way as those who follow a religion do. They believe in them, follow them, and hold them to be true. Many hate it when I say they "have faith in them", but this is what I mean by that. And their predispositions, orientations, and viewpoints are held as the crux points of their opinions. Some people describe that as "bias". I don't. I think bias occurs only when those orientations and opinions become a barrier, preventing people from talking or sharing or understanding one another about those matters, and preventing them from doing an evaluation of them that does not involve either acceptance or rejection. Now followers of a religion, Christians included, have predispositions, orientations, and viewpoints like everyone else, and if they have adopted an "organized" religion (rather than taking an individualized approach), many of them follow a commonly-held set of them. Secularists likewise tend to collect commonly-held sets of values and beliefs and follow them, loosely or strictly. It is the organizing construct by which they make sense of life, just as it is for followers of a religion. And that is what constitutes what is basically a "secular religion". And just as some religious people seem to be unable to separate themselves from bias, so do some secularists. It is not universal among either, but it is common among both.
- Some secularists really dislike "religion" (though they may differ as to what they mean by that). So, they also tend to dislike the way I have phrased things in the paragraph above. That bias makes them think I as a Christian am trying to foist some sort of religion back on them, although I am not. Now, I'm not getting a strong sense that you're one of those, but perhaps you recognize the thing I am referring to. What I see as a Christian is that secularists who are strongly "anti-religion" are mostly anti-Christian. That is, they cast all religions aside, but what really grabs them in talking about it lies in rejecting Christianity specifically. It produces attitudes like "Christians are always biased but secularists are not". And those attitudes become commonplace enough to be adopted (loosely) also by the less adamant. The primary flaw in the attitude is not its anti-Christian stance, but its tendency to categorize groups of people as though they were uniformly homogeneous in belief and practice. "People" (in general) just aren't that way, neither secularists, nor Christians, even though certain individuals are. Now when anyone, loosely or adamantly, rejects some belief, or some religion, they tend not to learn much about it; it is of no interest to them. They lose sight of details that make a large difference, and may ridicule what they don't know or understand. They then face a choice: to pursue ridicule, or when presented with an opportunity to understand more, to pursue an increase of understanding.
- I respect your doubts (as you describe them above), and have not yet seen you "pursue ridicule". Yet your predisposition is to be "doubtful" to the point of dismissiveness. How have I implied in any way that the Roman numeral III does not have the value of 3, or that any of them increased in value by one? To phrase it again, I have said that because we have zero, we count differently today than was done earlier. Specifically, we use zero as our base point for beginning. Counting the days from Monday to Thursday, for example, we set Monday as the zero-point, and say that Tuesday is one day later, Thursday is three days later. In effect, we do not "count" Monday. The ancients did otherwise. They would have said "you are counting days from Monday to Thursday, so it's an error not to count Monday". So Monday counts as one, and Thursday is described as four days later. It's counting without zeroes. But the ancients certainly were not making arithmetic errors. They knew that the sun, having already arisen on Monday, that when it had arisen three more times it would be Thursday. That's what it meant to them to say "Thursday is four days after Monday". Again, please just check out some scholarship that deals with Roman counting to see if you can't understand this. And check with a computer scientist (I am one) about "off-by-one" errors in algorithms; even zero-based arithmetic requires proper care in counting. Perhaps I'm not saying it in a way that is getting the idea across to you. But I'm not in error about it, and it can be verified, and it's really nothing to do with Christianity.
- About the article: without an author's name to verify, sources are not accepted on WP as reliable sources. That's all I meant. It doesn't take the Bible as reliable (in that sense) either. The Bible is referred to in articles as references to items being discussed in articles, as the source for this or that Christian interpretation, etc. It's a reliable reference to the origin, not a source used to verify what's being said about the topic.
- I hope things are a bit clearer now. Evensteven (talk) 11:59, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Let's try this too, an example of counting in computer science. Say you need to process some items from an existing list, specifically items 12 through 17. (Assume the list was once shorter, but is now 17 items long, and these are the new items needing processing which has already been done on the others.) Your algorithm must send each item individually through the instructions that process it, forming a loop in which each pass through takes care of one item. And to know when to quit, the algorithm needs to count how many times it has already completed the loop, looping back until the count is satisfied, quitting the loop when all items are done. What is the count? If you subtract 12 from 17 and get 5, then you have an "off-by-one" counting error. You'd be surprised how often this little thing comes up in programs. The correct count is six. In effect, you must count the items the way the Romans would have: item 12 is "1", item 13 is "2", etc to item 17 is "6". Item 12 is the starting point, and it is not left out by treating that point as zero. It's the "Monday" in the Romans' "four days from Monday to Thursday". The Romans knew how to apply their counting properly, just as we do, but it's just two different systems that are "off-by-one" from each other. Evensteven (talk) 12:21, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
I don't care if people choose to be superstitious, that's not what this is about; if one chooses to believe Jesus died for our sins, that the Koran was dictated to Mohammad by an angel or simply like having their palms read or to read the stars. My only argument is that it is widely believed that Easter has Pagen origins and should be included in the Wikipedia article as per Wikipedia guidelines. Any doubts or evidence to the contrary can be outlined in the article. The Wikipedia should be as accurate as possible and broad and not be used as a tool by Christians like yourself to rewrite history.
You're right, almost the whole of Great Britain (especially England) and Western Europe are largely secular. Even most 'Christians' here have never prayed or been to church (half of which have now closed down). Religion, in this modern age, is generally linked to poor education and under developed countries. The oracle 2015 (talk) 08:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand that you consider religion to be false, and that is your choice. Is it necessary always to be derogatory about it, though? And perhaps you didn't know, but both palm reading and astrology are considered to be incompatible with Christianity.
- And respectfully, oracle, no one is trying to rewrite history except those who claim Easter has pagan origins. True, the English name is derived from that of a pagan goddess, not a festival. The Christian feast mostly goes by a different name, and historically it was always Christian, never pagan. Yes, I know you want to make claims about eggs. Pagans used eggs as a symbol; Christians have also used eggs as a symbol, from ancient times. Symbols for what? Are you seriously maintaining that two symbols, just because they use the same object, are therefore the same thing, even though they represent different things? Do you understand the difference between spiritual life and bodily fertility? Your claim is attempting to equate the two, and it's simply a non sequitur and a malaprop. A good education makes it possible for one to distinguish things that are different, and not to confuse them. But I'd say that a choice to reject learning amounts to willful ignorance. Surely that is inclined to lead to superstitious belief, yes? Say, a belief that religion is generally linked to poor education? Or that one can be a Christian and yet not pray or go to church? The source of your information is suspect, and undependable, perhaps because you have looked only at the secular, and have therefore never seen else. That is, however, correctable. Evensteven (talk) 19:16, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
- The thing is with religion, most of us are wrong. No single religion has a following of over half the world's population and neither do those without religion make up over half the world's population. In a world where the majority are wrong on the subject of religion, should be enough for anyone to believe none are true. On the subject of Easter, there is no stronger evidence that the festival originated from Christianity than evidence it originated from Paganism. We can only be certain that Easter in modern times marks the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. The oracle 2015 (talk) 18:35, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, you're incorrect about the evidence: there is none at all that Easter originated from paganism. That is supposition interlaced with assumption. And since when did it require half of any number of people to determine what is true? Let me remind you that democracy is a (relatively) recent phenomenon. It only appeared once before, in Greece, and then it lasted only a couple of centuries before falling apart. Its state of health and efficacy in modern times is also subject to question. I'm not saying I necessarily prefer another system, but what we have is hardly a political utopia. Just how is voting about religion supposed to indicate anything meaningful? Evensteven (talk) 20:24, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- You misunderstood or misread. I was simply trying to demonstrate that the majority of the world's population are wrong on the subject of religion. The oracle 2015 (talk) 14:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, I can certainly agree with that. I just don't see that it has much significance. The majority of the world's population is wrong on most subjects. And that's not surprising in itself, either. We are finite beings, after all, and the world is full of subjects; how could we know them all enough to get beyond the common suppositions that often err? Some people feel dwarfed looking at the night sky. I grant that beholding the universe stretched out is an awesome and mighty sight. But being aware of one's relative size and limitations doesn't mean we need to take a self-limiting view. Often, significance is not demonstrated by quantity or measure. Small things often matter a lot. Our lives last only a few decades and our power to do things with them last only as long as our feeble strength, but what of that? Life matters, more than all that stuff around us. And I surely would not be particularly intimidated to learn that a majority of any population didn't think so. But I'd find it rewarding to find one other who agreed. Isn't that the measure that makes a difference to most people? Evensteven (talk) 16:03, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Can you please explain the difference of hymn and chorale? I asked several people who couldn't. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:12, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, glad to. First of all, a hymn is the prayer/text, sometimes poetic rather than prose, often so in the west in the last several hundred years. In some traditions, especially western, the text may be written by an individual for the purpose of prayer explicitly, or it may be a poem written in a prayerful idiom that someone found useful for hymnody. In the east, and before ca 1500/1600 in the west, it is more common for a hymn to be a prayer first, often of anonymous or unrecorded composition, or perhaps known to be composed by a prominent saint. The hymn then partakes of the musical practice common to the church tradition, often acquiring it from use in church services, and again often "anonymously". The anonymity is generally purposeful, the contributions, individual or combined, of those in the church, who seek no recognition for themselves, but given of their gifts to the glory of God. You see how very far this is from modern "authorship" in search of publication, and from set arrangements of style, scoring, etc., as supported in the templates.
- Next, is the hymn "tune" (for lack of a better term), which is a melody (often nothing more), perhaps with parts, often vocal, in a chordal or contrapuntal setting that may or may not be fixed in relation to the tune when it is used. Tunes are generally written for a specific hymn text, but often, being poetic text, other texts of other hymns will match the poetic scan of the original one, and then the tune will fit with those texts also, and may be used with it in hymnody. Anglicans publish the scan pattern in their hymnals, and choir directors can reference those to select a hymn text (by number), but substitute an alternate tune to be used in a service - a common practice among the more knowledgeable church musicians. In Byzantine hymnody, poetic patterning is less pronounced, and the rhythmic relation to the tune is less strict, with interpolations and improvisations within the tune often used to fill in or bridge inexact fits. Thus, a tune may be more or less fixed, according to the tradition involved and the time of origin.
- A chorale is a mostly fixed western-style composition of known individual author, a musical form developed in the Baroque era, for which J.S.Bach and others of his time were well known. It has persisted into the present, with a gradually lessening prominence over centuries and decades as the various churches who continue older traditions have had diminishing funds with which to support music. The chorale was written by such individual church musicians, often in the employ of a noble patron who was supporting the church through his patronage (Bach spent many years in such employ), and there was often a requirement for one or more new compositions for each Sunday's service, and especially elaborate for great feasts. The chorale is one of the many forms that were produced for such purposes. Many of the forms incorporated the growing use and prominence of the organ in western rites, which also developed into a large-scale instrument from what had been much smaller. Of course, the organ was first used to accompany singing, but gradually came to be written for on its own account also.
- As you might surmise from the name, the "chorale" was first composed for and sung by a choir, a choral work, sometimes (often) consisting of a hymn tune set into vocal parts (4 or 5 parts were common). J. S. Bach produced hundreds of these relatively simple settings/harmonizations, often studied by beginning students of harmony. However, being both derivative and simple, they are not generally included prominently among his "original" works. (This is more in line with the older traditional pattern among church musicians.) However, for great feasts (like Christmas or Easter), more elaborate compositions were called for. These generally involved organ accompaniment, often written out as a "part", and sung by a large choir. The musical setting was also more elaborate and ornamental, often somewhat contrapuntal at least, or fully so, the vocal parts becoming independent of each other, each sometimes raised to prominence above the others for a span, yet fitting together as one composition - a far cry from a straightforward note-against-note uniform chordal style so characteristic of hymns written for congregational use. Yet this kind of chorale is to most intents and purposes a hymn designed to be especially sung by a professional choir, for the edification and hearing of the congregation rather than their direct participation. The hymn tune employed may have been original, or it may have existed prior to the writing of the chorale, but the whole amounts to an original composition in effect.
- With all the effort of producing this kind of music, a new chorale might also be used by the organ alone, perhaps in the recessional music immediately following the end of the church service proper. The organ might play the essentials of the written vocals parts, or (more frequently) the organist would improvise upon the hymn tune and/or chorale parts, including recognizable portions. This led to another related form you may also have heard of or wondered about: the chorale prelude. This was a composition generally for organ alone, used before or after a service as musical fill related to the service. It was elaborate to begin with, and grew more elaborate, and freer and more improvisatory in style. It did, however, still incorporate a hymn tune, often a simple-note version of a tune well known to the listeners, melody only. This tune would appear throughout the composition in the simplicity of its long-duration notes, surrounded by the many interpolations of the "accompaniment" and ornamentations, often also of considerable separate musical interest, but contrasting with the hymn tune so that both could be readily perceived simultaneously. Finally, the phrases of the hymn tune were often presented one by one with intermediary sections that were all elaboration, so that one has the sense of departing and always returning to the hymn tune. Of course, these are considered entirely original compositions.
- The chorale and chorale prelude developed within a European tradition after the Renaissance, and were never a part of other church traditions, either earlier or in other churches such as eastern ones. In fact, no similar kind of elaborations, nor instrumentation, form a part of eastern (Orthodox) traditions at all, although some Orthodox churches have been influenced by surrounding Catholic or Protestant traditions where they have met. Such meeting is more common in the modern era than ever before, but the influence is not making large inroads into worship practices integrated closely with church rubrics and canons.
- I hope this gives you not just some raw information, but the ability to put it into some perspective. Thanks for asking. It's been pleasant for me to put this bit of material together. Cheers. Evensteven (talk) 06:33, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Re: "nice" replacement of one sentence by two.
I'd almost nominate this as a classic answer to KISS. It's usually better to compress information. Editors are often too wordy. This is the first instance, and one of the best, that I've seen where two sentences were required instead of one; all for the best reasons. Wish I could find a place for it in WP:MOS policy. Student7 (talk) 17:17, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks much! Really, I was quite happy with how it turned out, too. I'm not always able to hit the mark in quite so satisfying a way, but this one just fell together. KISS can be very useful, although my thought while doing this edit was more on just keeping focus and not introducing more material than necessary. I've always quite liked that engineering adage that says the designer knows he's done not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away. Works for writing too. Cheers. Evensteven (talk) 23:07, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Re your edit [1] : Lewis denied that LWW was an allegory. It would, in any event, have been a very imprecise allegory. He said, rather, that it was an attempt to imagine how Christ might appear in another world and another history. Many things are different; many principles remain the same. But it was not meant as an allegory. -- Elphion (talk) 23:15, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Elphion: Indeed, quite right; that was the most problematic thing about the reverted edit. I didn't say it is allegory. Instead, I would say it makes allusions to Christianity in many ways. Lewis was right too, of course. The IP may not have known the difference, as many don't, and the allusions are clear and have been well-known since the books were first published. That is why the IP's edit was not OR. You could probably find sources that confirm the widespread perception (although I wouldn't be the one to burden the article with that). The point of my edit is that the editors, presumably the ones considering the IP's edit to be OR, are also guilty of a misperception on that point. An edit can be mistaken without being OR. Do you understand my point now? Evensteven (talk) 04:41, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- I take your point that the IP is not the only person to have spouted this, but OR need not be an opinion unique to one editor. Random unsourced material clearly grounded in ignorance is indistinguishable from OR, and routinely gets treated as such. More to the point, your use of a dummy edit is not an effective way to handle this. Dummy edits are useful primarily to correct a mistake or omission in one's own edit comments. Otherwise they look like drive-by shootings. There's not enough space for a discussion (and I, at least, completely misunderstood what you were trying to say). If you feel strongly enough to correct another editor's misapprehension, start a conversation on the talk page (or better, on the user talk page of the editor you're addressing). Your typical editor won't engage your dummy edits; they will be ignored, and they just clutter up the edit history. -- Elphion (talk) 14:04, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sometimes I tend to be verbose, and have just had another run (elsewhere) with reigning myself in. So when I started a talk page edit, I edited myself and did the dummy edit instead. Well, it can be tough making those choices, and sometimes I don't please everyone. Sorry if this looked like a drive-by shooting; that's precisely what I was trying to avoid. As for WP:OR, we may have a difference of opinion, and it is one I feel strongly about. Like "vandalism", I find it's an accusation made frequently towards other editors, and sometimes without sufficient cause. It's often associated with bad faith editing as well, and I think its use must be made carefully so as not to imply bad faith itself. That is exactly what I saw in the OR reference in the revert of the IP's edit. There's no question of the edit being wrong, unverifiable, if you look at it literally. But sorry, I don't think OR is meant to apply to edits made in good faith and resulting from an intention to fill an informational hole. Look at the actual policy again. It refers to "facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist", and "a reliable source must be provided for ... anything challenged or likely to be challenged". Well, in a literal sense that may be so about "allegory". But on what basis can anyone assume that the IP really knows what an allegory is, or that he was trying to go on a soapbox or something? It is all too plausible to think he was actually thinking "allusion" or something like it when he wrote "allegory", which is why I bring up longstanding popular impressions again. Now perhaps that's a measure of the IP's editing competence, or perhaps his research competence, or perhaps it was even an unintended malapropos, not saying exactly what he meant. I've sometimes used the wrong word in something I've written in quite a similar way, and haven't always caught it in time. We need to have a little perspective as editors on how to apply the policies. They're not rules and regulations, but guidelines. And we also need to weigh them against other policies when we apply them. One of the big ones is also "assume good faith", something that, while being thrown about all over the place in disagreements is sadly neglected at other times. But AGF is the fuel WP runs on. It ensures that people can come and enjoy making a contribution. Editing becomes more fun, even when you mess up. And being corrected no longer feels like a put-down. Well, I have pretty thick skin in some ways, about myself. But I watch all the talk about long-time editors leaving WP, and see newbies poorly poorly treated, etc. And I know WP suffers for that. If it ever gets out of control, WP will die. So I treat that seriously. And here we have a newbie, an IP making a first edit, overturned on implications of bad faith. Maybe he realizes that, maybe not. But we can see it. And we can prevent it. And if we think twice about the whole situation, and start by actually assuming good faith, we should be able to see all sorts of reasons why this editor got it wrong. Then we can also see that OR is overkill, and not the only way to put the edit in perspective, and not the best way to handle the situation. Because we don't just deal with edits; we deal with people.
- No shooting being done here, either; just reminding. But perhaps you can now see why I feel strongly enough to say something. It's a matter of emphasis. And it's a matter of choice. It's always a matter of choice how we apply a policy. One can be right in a literal sense, and way off in what matters, unless one takes precautions. Evensteven (talk) 15:06, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, don't agree. I don't associate OR with bad faith editing. Summarized briefly, it means "This might be true, but you need to back it up with reliable sources. Otherwise it's just your opinion." As to what the IP meant: it is not our job to read minds. "OR" is a convenient and appropriate way to prod for more info. Otherwise life is too short. -- Elphion (talk) 16:08, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well and good, as long as we understand each other. No objections to your attitude about OR; that works. I could join you readily in that type of usage, except that I've seen it used otherwise on WP too many times, with unpleasant results. Life's too short for that too. Believe me, I'm not for mind reading! I'm talking about giving the benefit of the doubt: that it's too easy to assume one thing or the other, so tread gently. But frankly, I'm heartened to see your response. It's good to know that an attitude like yours is still strong and firm on WP, as I've had some doubts. Here's to good faith: cheers!

A suite of Rails-style generators for the awesome Bogart framework. Work in progress.
Bogart is an awesome framework, but it currently does not come with a CLI. This project is a start, providing a few simple generators to help you get started quicker and easier with Bogart.
npm install bogart-gen
bogart-gen allows you to create repositories and apis for your Bogart application. Both of these come with the
-L, --lite option, which will generate only the basic structure (no scaffolded code).
Repositories are the database abstraction layer of a Bogart application. Currently, bogart-gen only supports MySQL. Repos generated with bogart-gen will contain a basic CRUD with five functions:
get: // Get an object from the database by it's id
- ```javascriptset: // Create a new entry in the DB, or update an existing one if the object passed to it has an ID
search: // More flexible than list, and return is compatible with GammaGrid
- ```javascriptdel: // Deletes an entry from the database
bogart generate -r <modelName>
bogart-gen can create Bogart routing files for you so you can get up and running quickly. All API routes generated by bogart-gen will start with '/api/'. These API's will expose all of the repository methods; returns will be in JSON. Generate an API by calling the following from the command line:
bogart g -a <modelName>
You'll notice that this uses 'g' instead of 'generate', this is a convenience provided by bogart-gen

In a region with thousands of hours of sunshine a year, the solar energy industry is in its infancy. Can Saudi Arabia lead the way in harnessing a new source of energy?
February 11, 2010 10:36 by Sarah Abdullah
The feasibility of harnessing Saudi Arabia's vast resource of solar energy has been studied as far back as the 1960s. Yet for all the research, the outcome has always been the same: Converting solar energy into electricity is just too expensive. This leaves fossil fuels – primarily diesel – as the main source of energy for the country's electricity power plants.
Yet recent indications suggest that this might soon change, although no one involved is getting too excited yet.
"I really do wish to say yes, since I was very optimistic 30 years ago, says Dr. Mohammed Bashrahil, electric generation expert and research manager at the Saudi Electric Company. "I expected more use and utilization of sun power in power generation, however I still have hope that one day we shall see a breakthrough in the field, so let's wait and see," he said.
Bashrahil also said that a deciding factor in whether solar power can finally be an economic alternative is the advancement in modern technology. "Solar power research and development has been increasing and implemented during the end of the last decade and hopefully will increase in this decade," he said.
With demand for electricity rising at 6 percent per year, coupled with an increasing population, it would seem to be in the electric company's best interests to use solar energy to relieve the power burden.
Just how big is the problem? Saudi Arabia's Industry and Electricity Ministry has estimated that the country will require up to 20 gigawatts of additional power generation capacity by 2019, which will require an investment of at least $624 billion over the next 15 years to cope with the demand, with $46.9 of the investment figure for power investment alone.
However, Bashrahil is clear that solar energy is not the complete solution to these problems. "Solar radiation is one of the alternatives to fossil fuels to generate electric power, but not the only one. Even though it is used, it will not replace oil, coal, nuclear, and other various other sources of generating thermal power used to run power plants."

Larry Flynt Offers $10,000 Reward in Hit-And-Run That Took Life of Hustler Employee Larry Hughes, Who Was on His Way to Work
Whoever is behind the USC-area hit-and-run that killed Larry Hughes during a morning walk that had him heading to work at Hustler headquarters in Beverly Hills this week, you're in trouble.
Turns out Hughes, 62, is a longtime and beloved Larry Flynt Productions employee who Mr. Flynt personally took a liking too, we're told.
Now Flynt is offering $10,000 for information leading to the suspect wanted in Hughes death.
The collision happened ...
... about 5 a.m. Monday as Hughes was walking south in a crosswalk on Normandie Avenue at Exposition Boulevard, according to an LAPD statement.
View Larger Map
According to the department ...
... A driver in a white Ford Mustang with tinted windows,travelling northbound on Normandie Avenue made a right turn onto Exposition Boulevard and collided into the pedestrian.The driver continued eastbound on Exposition Boulevard, failing to stop, render aid or to identify self as required by law.
Another motorist then struck Hughes -- later ID'd as Larry Dean Hughes -- but stopped to help, police say.
The Hustler employee -- we were told he worked in security at the adult magnate's Beverly Hills headquarters for 16 years -- was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the LAPD.
Flynt's Beverly Hills headquarters.
Hustler spokeswoman Victoria Hurley told the Weekly today:
We do hope that someone will come forward with details that can help identify the person who did this.
Anyone with info on the driver of the white Mustang was asked to call police at 323-421-2500.

The thing thats sad is how horrible the middle class bible thumpers,soccer moms,beer drinking "drugs are bad" dads are.. Hell, I wasnt born in the hood and am part of an upper class family but I know my share of our city (bachelors degree sociology) I know people. I hang with lower class to upperclass and dont hold my nose up when a black guy walks by.In fact I hang with "gangsters" and I know shit about our city. Im not that dick that talks shit all day "oh these hood losers are near me", "oh these people with baggy pants need to get a life". Listen people, how about you (middle class population) get a life. You guys talk about how BAD the DRUGS ARE. Yet you dont even send one thousand dollars a year to children starving millions rotting on the street in africa. Yes in africa. You are horribly evil yourselves based on your belief of our 'bible belt bible jesus". You guys are hypocritical. You compalin BUT YOU DONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. instead of talking all day about losers like BLACK PEOPLE, why dont you get out of your house and our of the bmw and do something. Get your heads out of your ass's houseswives because you are going to ignore this, but you still know dep inside how shitty your are.

I plan to move to Greenville, from the Bronx, NY. We are renting a house on Pleasant Ridge Avevue. I've lived in the same area in the Bronx for 30yrs. I have saw people shot dead on my block, drug deals done In the open with women and children in view, cops down the street. I'm retired now worked for the Cityof NY for 25 yrs. my husband worked for the post office in NY for 32yrs. All we are looking for is a nice place to relax and enjoy the rest of our days.
Please give me your feedback on this area.
Thank you.

I'm just shocked at some of the earlier posts.. Responding to the people in poverty.. The people with the "woe is me " responses.. Were you born into poverty!?!? To say.. Hey, I went to college so we had the same equal chance to better ourselves.. That's sickening.. I myself have 3 college degrees.. And all of them studying anthropology and the situation of the less fortunate.. Just because you had the opportunity to go to college, you think you're equal and they had the same opportunity? Did you have to drop out in 10th grade to get a minimum wage job so your siblings could eat to stay alive? Get off your high horse.. You're all ignorant if you blame everyone for not being rich like you.. Sure, some people can climb out.. But I promise, if 90% of you actually were born into the same situation you'd be on drugs, dealing drugs, or selling yourself too.. It sickens me to hear price legend people say, hey, just go apply and get a job making 100k a year!! That's what I did!!" You're all ignorant.. Poverty breeds poverty whether you believe it or not.. And you're dumb and ignorant to think everyone had the same chance as you.. And if you disagree, PM me.. I promise I came from a better situation and am far more educated than you.. But I'm not ignorant.. I've studied this, lived on the streets, I know more than you.. WAYYYYY more than you.. And I'm wayyyyy smarter than you.. So quit blaming everyone but yourself just so you can justify being greedy and not giving back.. You're pathetic, you know who you are..

What a joke. The drug dealers pay off the police. Lmao dumb bastards. This isn't Mexico. As far as a stereo type it is mostly the minorities that sell this shit. And call me ignorant, etc...the fact remains that over 70% of the prison population is black. Let me guess it's because some old white man has his thumb on a button holding them down. Everyone is afforded the same opportunities. This entire blog is BS.

I've been around many bad neighborhoods in Greenville..prositutes/crack can be found in various places across the county and city. Belle Meade, Judson, Dunean, Pleasant Valley, Staunton Bridge, Kennedy Park, Freetown, City Heights..some parts of Berea are also bad. White horse road and Anderson road are good places to look. Some of the actual ghettos are going down Anderson road towards vardry and green streets. Lots of cheap cheap hookers wanting to buy crack. That would be the sterling and butler areas. The woodside area (which is several of these neighborhoods combined) has been on the top 25 worst neighborhoods in America list several years in a row now. This year it ranked number 5. I'm a 20 year old white male who has been hanging around many of these neighborhoods for years. They are mainly African American areas. Don't get me wrong, Greenville has is bad parts, but is a great place to live in general. Those areas are easily avoidable and you can always have a pleasant time in the city. Downtown is a great place to bring your family.
