Sandbag Machines
by Dr. Owen Geiger
Sometimes you need machines to speed the work. Maybe there's an urgent need due to flooding, or maybe you're building a large number of sandbag (earthbag) houses. Here's a sampling of some of the sandbag filling machines currently available.
Ensor Equipment, Inc. www.ensorequipment.com
- Feeds, fills, closes, and discharges full sandbags automatically.
(For more on this bag filling machine, see our Earthbag Building Blog: earthbagbuilding.wordpress.com I also wrote a longer article that includes an interview with Ernest Engle, VP of Ensor: earthbagbuilding.com
Superior Sandbag Systems www.superiorsandbag.com
This tube filling machine fills continuous polypropylene tubing. So far it's been used for erosion control, but it could be utilized to mass produce affordable housing. Steve Villa and Steve Williams, the owners of Superior Sandbag Systems, invented the process and received a US patent in 2000.
Sandbag material is available in 6,000-lineal-foot rolls. The Superior Sandbagging hopper can fill 240 feet of bag at a time without stopping. A two-person crew can fill and place 240 feet of tubing in 90 seconds.
(A little more about this machine is on our Earthbag Building Blog: earthbagbuilding.wordpress.com
3W Enterprises www.3went.com
They have a mobile sandbag machine that can come out to your jobsite or yard and make the sandbags right there. They offer machine rental, sale of sandbags- empty or filled, delivery of sandbags, if needed, and prompt and courteous service. Their sandbags are available in different colors and sizes. They can fill bags with your desired content -- sand, pea gravel, etc.
C-MAC bagging equipment www.cmac.com.au
This company offers the widest range of bag filling machines I've found so far. Machines are available for sale or hire.
They offer single and double hopper models. The single hopper shown below uses a foot pedal activated heat sealer to close bags and roller conveyor.
Fills 1,600 sandbags an hour
See the specifications on the Sandbagger
Power Sandking 800 Turbo www.sandking.de
- Drive: Power take off from a tractor or similar vehicle or as an additional option: electric motor drive
Use the MH-400 with Cross Conveyor to quickly and effectively fill sand bags.
Megga Bagger www.meggabagger.com
With her machine, Malone says she could fill a bag every 2 to 10 seconds. The Megga Bagger allows you to fill sandbags faster with fewer personnel. This saves time and labor! Megga Baggers are self contained and portable. All products are Underwriter Laboratories (UL) approved. Ergonomics play an important role in the design and construction of the Megga Bagger. Flat faced hoppers coupled with adjustable slide tables significantly reduce back strain and fatigue, thus reducing the chance of injury and increasing production. Festo Pneumatics, Honda generators and adjustable Martin Engineering Vibrators are examples of components that come standard with your automated Megga Bagger.
- Single station chute & manual slide gate chute
The Sand Master by barriersystemsllc.com for skid steers, backhoes, loaders and excavators can efficiently fill, securely close, deliver and stack up to 26 sandbags at a time. The equipment is designed to fit many different models of machines. It is capabable of filling as many as 6,240 bags in an 8-hour period. What separates the SandMaster from most other sandbag filling machines is that they only replace the shovel, and most materials, wet or dry, can be used with the SandMaster in the event sand is unavailable.
Progressive Innovations www.progressiveinnovations-llc.com
We have designed and brought to market three new products.
1. ProBagger: The design of this unique skid-steer attachment allows the operator to fill twelve (12) 14" x 26" poly or burlap sandbags at the same time. Simply attach the bags, scoop the sand, or other material, tilt the bucket back up which fills all twelve bags; drive to your desired location, tilt the bucket and release the hydraulics. Your bags are left standing and all that is left is to tie the bags and place them in position. Any material that can flow into a bag can be filled faster and with more ease using the Pro Bagger®.
2. Quik Levee Builder: This unique machine will build a three and a half foot high levee, 200 feet long in approximately 90 minutes replacing about 10,000 sandbags. (It makes one large, long bag.) The Quik Levee Builder® is capable of building levees for floods, chemical containment and spills, storing salt, sand, gravel, soils, grains, etc. Millions of dollars of property can be protected in a short amount of time and using much less labor than conventional methods. Beach erosion, wind and sand erosion, heavy surf abatement are some of the other problems that the Quik Levee Builder® can be employed to protect landscaped property and buildings. www.progressiveinnovations-llc.com
3. The Instee Levee Builder® is a skid steer attachment that can build an 18" barrier, 400' long in approximately 1 hour. This machine was designed to be filled with clean fill dirt which is less expensive then sand. Like the Quik Levee Builder®, this smaller machine can save millions of dollars of property in a short amount of time and using less labor than conventional methods. The Instee Levee Builder® can also be employed to protect landscaped property and buildings. www.progressiveinnovations-llc.com
Sandbagger www.sandbagger.co.uk
The Sandbagger is a low cost, safe, transportable, fast and efficient sandbag filling machine capable of very high production. It can be set up on site in minutes and then moved as quickly to another priority area.
Mammut filling mixer www.mammut.at
- Robust and operation friendly construction
Sandboy www.sandking.de
The Sandboy is a volume batching apparatus for one tandem-bag or 2 single bags at a time.
- It is ideal for manual charging or by means of a truck-mixer.
Sahara Sand packing machine www.ogniochron.eu
Using two feeders, two people are able to take up to 750 bags of sand in the weight of 25 kg each in the time of 1 hour. Every bag is filled with the equal amount of sand which ranges from 20 to 40 kg.. The required weight can be manually set at the beginning or changed during the operation. The same weight of sand is a great facilitation for carriers. A convenient and practical fastener enables a quick and painless closing of sandbag. Weight without sand: 400 kg. It is available with a belt conveyor.
Mr. Sandman
Using just 1 machine operator (instead of 24 laborers), Mr. SandmanT fills, seals, and discharges over 1,000 sandbags per hour. This sand bagging machine can be towed to any site behind a standard pickup truck. It makes and fills sandbags, dropping them off the rear conveyor, replacing dozens of workers manually filling and carrying bags to where they are needed. Currently seeking licensing partners.
Mr. SandmanT cuts polypropylene bags from a roll and fills each one with about 50 lbs. of sand, seals, and discharges finished bags to the rear. There are two independent filling stations, allowing one side to run continuously while replacing bag rolls on the other side. The machine is mounted on a heavy-duty trailer, so it can be towed while operating-dropping bags where they are needed most.
Brochure: www.gfederas.com
Sandbadger sandbadger.net
This mobile unit does not require gravity feeding like other systems do. The enormous costs of time and resources can be reduced dramatically with this high-speed sandbagging technology. Back-breaking and costly labor can be reduced or eliminated with the SandBadger.
Sanding Truck sandbagging apparatus www.freepatentsonline.com
United States Patent 6598629
Sandbagging attachment for dump trucks www.freepatentsonline.com
United States Patent 3552346
A sand bagger adapted for association with the rear end of the rearwardly tiltable body of a dump truck for receiving loose sand or soil from said body and including a power vibrated hopper equipped with an auger for uniformly distributing sand transversely in the hopper, the latter having multiple manually controlled gated bagging chutes for withdrawing sand from said hopper at a multiple of bagging stations.

Dirty Wars Movie Reviews
User reviews on Dirty Wars
This doc**entary follows investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill is pulled into an unexpected journey as he chases down the hidden truth behind America's expanding covert wars. I really enjoyed watching this film and highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film is extremely hard-hitting and very interesting and involving, I was very happy I decided to see it on the big screen. The film felt like a thriller rather than a doc**entary and I really liked that. The criticism of America's involvement in global military affairs is effective and based on facts. Overall, it is a great doc**entary that will widen your knowledge and that will make you ask some uncomfortable questions.

Walt Disney World suspended its financial support of the local chapters of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). According to Scouts for Equality, the explanation behind the suspended support is the BSA's continued ban on openly gay and lesbian adults serving in the capacity of a troop leader or other leadership roles.
The Scouts for Equality is a national campaign to end discrimination within the Boy Scouts of America. Until the suspension, the local Boy Scout troops had been on the receiving end of a grant program run by The Disney Company that donated proceeds to charitable organizations.
BSA Central Florida Council Board President Robert Utsey sent out a letter to local members. In the letter Utsey wrote, "We recognize that many Scout Units have received financial support over the last several years from this grant opportunity and are sad to see it go."
"The National BSA Council has reached out to Walt Disney World to try to resolve the situation, however, according to WDW, their views do not currently align with the BSA and they are choosing to discontinue this level of support."
Several major corporate sponsors have ended their partnerships with the Boy Scouts of America since 2012. Those sponsors are Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Major League Soccer, Merck, Intel, UPS and Walt Disney World.
Co-founder of Scouts for Equality Zach Wahls said, "We're never happy to see scouting suffer as a result of the BSA's anti-gay policy, but Disney made the right decision to withhold support until scouting is fully inclusive.
In May 2013, the Boy Scouts of America National Council voted to end its long-time ban on openly gay scouts. However, it reaffirmed its ban on openly LGBT adults from serving as volunteers or professionals in the organization. The policy would also require openly gay scouts to leave the organization on their 18th birthday.

It is still cold here in North New Jersey's hardiness zone six and will be for some time, but people are already planning their spring veggie gardens and deciding which vegetables to start early indoors. If part of the goal for your garden this year is healthier eating then you might give Swiss chard some consideration. If you usually plant chard, you may consider planting more of it, and including some of the new brighter colors which have come along lately.
The health and nutrition website, The World's Healthiest Foods waxes rhapsodic over the goodness which Swiss chard brings to the table. Just to scratch the surface Vitamins A and K are present in outstanding quantity. Vitamins C and E are well represented as are iron, potassium, magnesium and manganese.
But it in the more esoteric compounds that chard positively excels. Chard leaves contain at least 13 phytonutrients with implication for good health. These include kaempferol with well-known cardio-vascular benefits and syringic acid, a proven blood sugar regulator. More, there are betalains, betacyanins and betaxanthins present which bring an array of detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances into play. Swiss chard is as much a medicine as it is a food.
It is becoming apparent that vividly colored foods contain even more phytonutrients than their less vividly colored counterparts so why not consider deep orange or dark red stemmed and veined chard. Many seed companies offer all the colors of the rainbow in one variety pack. "Bright Lights" and "Rainbow Mix" are two of the names by which the seed blend is marketed.
Whatever variety you choose, all chard remains the tasty salad component, omelet filler and side dish that you have been accustomed to for years. Don't forget to reserve a space for it in this year's garden!

Nintendo may be known for creating some of the most iconic characters in gaming, but their Super Mario Bros. franchise has never been one to offer an in-depth look at these characters or their motivations. Super Mario Galaxy offered a refreshing change of pace with the introduction of Rosalina, who came with her own distinct personality and surprisingly mature backstory. She has since become a mainstay of the series, and continues to be featured in many of Nintendo's biggest releases.
The player first meets Rosalina near the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy, where her centennial trip to the Mushroom Kingdom has been cut short by Bowser, who promptly kidnaps Princess Peach and steals Rosalina's "power stars" (see: MacGuffin). Rosalina is initially mysterious, and the extent of her power is never revealed. We do know that she can use her magic wand to create a force field around her ship, has the ability to float and appears to have stopped aging during her journey through space. These abilities, coupled with the fact that she has never been kidnapped, immediately makes her a more compelling character than Peach. We're happy to see another female character that hasn't fallen victim to the "damsel in distress" trope, a favorite of Nintendo's.
Rosalina traverses the stars with dozens of Lumas, a race of adorable "star children" with their own magical powers and abilities. She treats these children as if they were her own, caring for and nurturing them until they eventually grow up and leave her side. This is where the main themes of her story, namely loss and acceptance, come into play. While traveling with her, the player will periodically be treated to a chapter from Rosalina's storybook, with a new one unlocking each time they complete a section of the game. This book offers an origin story for Rosalina, and explains her relationship with the Lumas.
When she was a child, Rosalina found a Luma near a rusty spaceship. The Luma had been waiting for its mother, who was supposedly coming for it on a comet. Rosalina decided to wait with it, but to no avail. Together, they fixed up the spaceship and searched the galaxy, leaving Rosalina's family behind. Rosalina later dreamt of her mother walking away from her, saying that she'd be watching Rosalina from the stars above. Remembering this moment, and the words her mother had said to her, helped Rosalina ease Luma's pain and disappointment when their search failed to turn up any leads.
Eventually, Rosalina and Luma would meet other star children to take along with them, each one referring to Rosalina as its mother. She later became homesick as she looked at her old planet through a telescope, remembering the family she had left behind. She came to the realization that her mother had never been watching her from the sky because she was actually "sleeping under a tree on the hill." To comfort her, the Luma she had left her home planet with years ago, transformed into a comet large enough to carry Rosalina and the other star children, which would eventually become the observatory. The other Lumas explained to Rosalina that her friend had been reborn, and that it was the destiny of every Luma to transform into a comet, star or other celestial being. It was now apparent that Luma's mother had never been waiting for him on a comet, but had become one herself. His and Rosalina's journey was the result of neither of them being able to accept their losses, a lesson that this event served to teach her.
This storybook is what makes Rosalina such a compelling character. She isn't a picture-perfect force for good simply because Nintendo programmed her to be, nor is she a carbon copy of Peach as many fans initially suspected. She had to grow up from being a child and learn how to accept her losses, as well as the importance of friends and family. Nintendo took a chance by exploring some heavy subjects rarely touched upon by one of their games, let alone a video game having been developed with children in mind.
Rosalina's role didn't end with the Galaxy series, though. She recently appeared as the fifth playable character in last year's Super Mario 3D World, and will appear in Mario Kart 8, making it her fourth time on the racetrack since the Wii version. Masahiro Sakurai also announced that she would be joining Nintendo's other iconic characters in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. We hope to see more of Rosalina in the Super Mario universe and would love for her to be featured as the main protagonist in her own title.

Updated: 4/26/2010
Everything you look at was an idea. Everything you will look at in the future will be an idea. The Lord's intelligence is never ending and is new to us when a revelation of new ideas impart within us.
As time passed, God's wisdom including craftsmanship and ideas passed to us. The first manifested idea of a car was steam powered and built, in the year 1769. In 1927, Philo Farnsworth made the world's first working television. The first movie film ever made is called 'The Waterer Watered' a French film made in 1895. The original title is 'L'Arroseur Arrosé'.
Exodus 31:1-11 - Then the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with Skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts- to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. Moreover I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded.
The Holy Spirit is all-knowing and holds every idea that will be thought and has been taught, but we must come to know Him in order to take part in what's His. Flying cars? Probably. Floating cars? Probably. Who knows what car is next?
The attendees at the car show think they liked those old ideas, just wait on the Lord's new ones. It's a good idea to ask God to hear and produce the Lord's ideas. Where wisdom is craftsmanship resides. Lord give us wisdom!?
God is amazing! What is impossible with man is possible with God!

Re: latest enthought svn on Mac OS X
Dave Peterson <dpeterson@...>
I think I have seen this problem before. In my case it was related to trying to build inplace on different OSes using the same svn checkout directory. Not running simultaneously on both OSes mind you. We need a better 'clean' step from our build tool. Is the lack of ours related to not writing our build scripts properly or is it a lack of capability in distutils? -- Dave Travis Vaught wrote: > On Mar 31, 2007, at 2:26 PM, Robert Kern wrote: > > >> Travis Vaught wrote: >> >>> ... >>> build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5/kiva/agg/src/kiva_rect.o" failed with >>> exit status 1 >>> >> I don't see this.

The Grass is Greener After Bankruptcy
Many people find the decision to file for personal bankruptcy to be an emotional one. You may be feeling stressed out, disappointed, happy or relieved—or a combination of these emotions. But take heart: Once you've emerged from bankruptcy, things will be better.
How Bankruptcy Can Help You
Filing for bankruptcy allows you to rid yourself of many debts and get a fresh financial start. It can:
- Temporarily halt foreclosure proceedings
- Bring an end to creditor and collection agency calls
- Allow you to stop writing big checks to your creditors each month
- Enable you to move on with your life without crushing debt hanging over your head
Life After Bankruptcy
Once you've wrapped up your bankruptcy, how do you get back on your feet without falling back into debt?
Think about what led to your bankruptcy in the first place. Some situations (such as a serious illness, divorce or job loss) are unavoidable. But others (failure to make and stick to a budget, living beyond your means) can be remedied. Ask yourself if there are things you could have done differently to avoid getting into debt.
Take steps to start saving money while also rebuilding your credit. Consider:
- Making a monthly budget
- Spending no more than half of your take-home pay on essential fixed expenses, such as rent, utilities and car payments
- Opening a savings account and committing to making monthly deposits
- Getting a new credit card, making small purchases on it and paying off the balance, in full, each month

Tom Szaky, the recipient of the College's 2nd Annual Award for Innovative Leadership, may be the creator and CEO of TerraCycle, a Trenton-based company pioneering an international movement to help save our planet — but he hasn't always been the conventional role model.
Not to say that Szaky's multi-million dollar business is necessarily "conventional." Based on the innovative idea that new products can be developed entirely from waste, his business is currently one of a kind. So unique in fact, that TerraCycle's exploits were deemed interesting enough by The National Geographic Channel to be regularly featured in its reality show "Garbage Moguls."
However, just eight years ago, Szaky's business interests seemed to be leading him on a slightly different path. As soon as he began his slide-show presentation for the students and faculty crowded into the Mildred and Ernest E. Mayo Concert Hall at 6 p.m. on Oct. 13., Szaky made this clear with a personal anecdote about the origins of his business, which began as a fertilizer company.
"My friends and I were growing pot in our basement," said the 28-year-old Princeton alum Szaky, recounting a summer just before college in his native Canada eight years ago. "I was the designated gardener."
Surprised audience members laughed as Szaky recalled how he and his friend's discovered a natural "worm poop fertilizer" to treat the plants that would one day become TerraCycle's first product. But, more importantly, Szaky explained, it was in this moment that he first started thinking about "waste" — and the fact that it doesn't really need to exist.
Strapped for cash, Szaky and his dorm mates used the decaying food-waste at Princeton to create massive supplies of worm fertilizer, transferring it into used plastic soda bottle containers that otherwise would have become garbage. Why? This was cheaper than buying new, unrecyclable bottles — and far cheaper than buying environmentally conscious recyclable and compostable bottles. Thus, the concept of "up-cycling" was born.
These revelations would ultimately amount to the theme of the evening's talk, during which a frank Szaky offered aspiring entrepreneurs plentiful personal insights and practical tips on how to deal with some
unexpected pitfalls of starting a new business. In particular, Szaky proved to be a master of the art of turning negatives into positives — making what seemed to have nothing to do with the respectable business world (like marijuana and waste) into something marketable.
"Garbage, in the natural system, doesn't even exist as we know it. The outputs of one system are the inputs of another," Szaky said.
Garbage, he realized, was cheap — it was "the only material people pay to get rid of."
Szaky used a PowerPoint presentation to explain the simple economics of "up-cycling" and how he turned a small dorm-room operation into a virtual international monopoly. The story was one of both determination and a string of lucky chain reactions.
Eventually, according to Szaky, persistent phone calls led the college students to broker a Walmart deal that, when successful, led to the distribution of TerraCycle gardening products, sold in "up-cycled" containers, in all the major chains. The real breakthrough, though, was when the heads of three environmentally-conscious companies — Honest Tea, Stonyfield Farms and Clif Bar — approached the young Szaky asking for his help in creating new uses for their unrecyclable packaging, and licensed him the right to reuse their products. Other major companies, like Mars and PepsiCo, followed.
Today, TerraCycle is paid by these companies to collect the waste generated by using their product, sell the waste back to them as raw materials, and license them the rights to use this waste to make a new product. (Concerned individuals can also donate waste by following TerraCycle's online instructions.)
"It turns out the world's most eco-friendly way to package a product is also the cheapest," Szaky announced confidently, after seeing all the hands in the room raised when he asked who would buy the eco-friendly product "every time" if it were cheaper than the environmentally irresponsible alternative.
While there has been some skepticism — about the energy needed to create Szaky's products, among other things — Szaky seemed to be on to something big. The applause he got from the College audience after his talk was highly approving. Most students and faculty seemed ready to honor Szaky for both his environmental insight and his refreshing candor about the pitfalls of business.
He offered humorous asides about his friend's night in prison after they were caught collecting soda bottles from Princeton recycling cans ("By the way, it's not legal to do this"), and the unconventional process of hand-bottling Walmart's first ten thousand orders of fertilizers in the Princeton dorms ("We thought they'd start small — you know, a couple of bottles…").
His humorous attitude seemed contagious.
"As is our tradition, the certificate is printed on 100 percent recycled paper and the frame is a part of a barrel for Jim Beam Bourbon," said Dean of Business William Keep as he handed Szaky his award, taking the presentation — which began with a revelation about how the use of an illicit substance can launch the framework of a better idea — full circle.
On the whole, Szaky offered a very encouraging and optimistic outlook for aspiring businesspeople. With each problem, Szaky explained how he adapted and responded. For example, he used social media to avoid the potentially paralyzing legal fees associated with the questionable lawsuit filed by their original competitor, Miracle-Gro. And after learning about a Trenton graffiti problem, Szaky encouraged all local graffiti artists to use the TerraCycle warehouse as their new canvas.
"I'm not an American … A lot of people, if you grow up in a context, don't quite realize it. No where else in the world is it as easy to raise money if you have an idea, and go for it," Szaky said.

How to Use a Solar Calculator
The solar industry is growing at an astounding rate. Due to the myriad tax incentives and rebates available to homeowners and businesses, the intricacies of energy costs and needs, and every home's unique location in relation to the sun, it is usually difficult to find answers to important questions when considering a move to solar power. In response, several solar companies and websites have developed online solar calculators that help you figure out the size, savings, and cost of your solar system.
Most online calculators are very user-friendly and different calculators do different things. You will need certain information on hand, such as location, average energy bill, and system specs or system needs. Some calculators help you track the sun across the sky at your particular location. Others will map out the necessary system to meet your specific energy requirements.
Solar calculators are not only useful before you buy solar panels. They can also help you understand your particular system after it is installed. After your system is installed, you can use a solar calculator to track your system's energy output and dollar value. This can help you detail the day-to-day function of your solar system and help you decide whether you need an upgrade or not.
Online solar calculators are just a matter of punching numbers, very easy for the most part. However, solar calculators are not foolproof. Try using multiple calculators and check for drastic variations and other inconsistencies that let you know something is wrong. While solar calculators are an excellent resource, both before and after installation, and are likely to become more refined as time goes by, don't forget that your local solar contractor will have suggestions and answers that a calculator just can't figure.

With respects, here is the kind of thing that happened to the Dolphins defense all afternoon.
Oakland went to the shotgun spread. The QB is lined up a few yards back with a back near him. There are 4 receivers spread out on the field. Miami, for some reasons, decides to counter by putting five defensive backs on the field. They're running a two-deep zone, to try and protect against the pass, but are conceding the run. Why? I have no idea. They're down by 11 with 3 minutes left. Play the run!
Anyway, they have 4 down linemen, and two linebackers who look like they're playing pass.
The play starts and Daunte drops back to pass, then he turns and gives it to Huggy Bear jr, and he simply follows his block. The linebacker on that side has responsibility to stop this play. But, in the circle, he's out of position, looking in the backfield, and presumably expecting the pass. There's no way to stop HBJ.
Its a 20+ yard gain that leads to the final TD.
Miami seemed awfully confused on defense for the second straight week...

A Publication of THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
University of Texas at Austin student returns home to conduct Corpus Christi Symphony in Rockport
By Nancy Neff
Luigi, who died in 1999, was the choir director at Rockport-Fulton High School for more than 20 years. "Through the generosity of a scholarship bearing her name, I have been able to continue my exploration of music at The University of Texas at Austin," Reeves said. "I am delighted to return to Rockport to share the art of music with the schools and community which inspired me to pursue music as a vocation."
The artsreach program was initiated by the university's College of Fine Arts to build new audiences for art and music in remote areas of the state and to foster better relationships between artists and their constituencies. The new program allows students to establish residencies in their home communities and present overviews of their work. The University Co-op, a college department store serving the university community since 1896, is providing initial funding for the project.
"Cory Reeves' activities in Rockport are exactly the kind of project that George Mitchell (president of the University Co-op) and I had in mind when we began collaborating in this area," said Dr. Robert Freeman, dean of the College of Fine Arts. "His work in the community reflects the strong pedagogical influence of his music teachers, while demonstrating to the citizens of his hometown the artistic value added as the result of his education at the university.
"Martha Luigi sent him to us now he goes back. Cory will undoubtedly recruit the next generation of musicians."
In addition to rehearsing and performing with the high school choir in Rockport, Reeves taught music lessons directly related to the holiday symphony concert in middle and elementary school music classes. Reeves and the students listened to, sang and analyzed some of the music he performed in the holiday concert. He also introduced them to various orchestral instruments and reviewed concert etiquette.
"It is my hope that through the artsreach program residency, members of the Rockport-Fulton community both participants and those who attend the concert will be able to come together to share in an art form which has different meanings in the lives of each individual," Reeves said.
Reeves will graduate with a degree in choral music studies in May. He hopes to teach in the public school system and eventually pursue a doctor's degree in musical arts/choral conducting. "Music is the universal force which transcends the barriers of language, culture and age," he said. "I chose conducting because I believe it's the best way to spread the word to bring the most people together in a common purpose and to reach the largest audience through music."
While at the university, Reeves has worked with music students in the Austin and Round Rock school districts. He also is choral director at Rolling Hills Community Church in Lago Vista, where he conducts the Chancel Choir, the Jubilaires (women's chorus) and the Rolling Hills Orchestra.
Reeves is the recipient of several scholarships, including the Virginia McBride Hudson Endowed Scholarship in Music, the Mary Farris Gibson Memorial Scholarship in Music, the Georgia B. Lucas Foundation Fund Scholarship, the Getty Fund Scholarship and the Martha Luigi Choral Music Scholarship. He is a member of the university's Chamber Singers and has served as an accompanist for the Men's Chorus on campus.

Rumors are running rampant that Disney is mulling over a major redeployment -- sending either Disney Magic or Disney Wonder to Europe in summer 2004. This speculation rivals, almost anyway, talk about the cruise line's plans to issue an order for a third ship. Alas, spokesman Mark Jaronski pokes a hole in both balloons by downplaying the chatter.
"Are we looking at our options?" he asks in what we figure is a rhetorical question. "Sure. We are considering different itineraries and fleet expansion but have made no decisions and are still emphasizing our three-, four-and seven-day Caribbean cruises." In case we didn't get the point, Jaronski continues, "we'll continue to evaluate options but no decision has been made at this time to alter our plans."

Victims of 'Bolder than Most Rapist' glad Alvin Quarles will be committed to state mental hospital
Quarles served 25 years of a 50-year sentence
SAN DIEGO - Two victims of San Diego's "Bolder than Most Rapist" say that while they are glad Alvin Quarles is headed to a state mental hospital, they still believe they should have gotten an earlier "heads-up" that he was being considered for release.
Quarles served half of his 50-year sentence on four counts of rape, six counts of burglary and two counts of robbery. The sentence was part of a plea deal reached in 1989, after his arrest on 61 counts related to sex crimes against women.
Cynthia Medina was one of those victims. She contacted 10News last year after checking on Quarles' status and learning he was set for release in November of this year. That triggered a flurry of activity in the case, including a judge's ruling that there was enough evidence to show Quarles might still be a sexually violent predator, and that there should be a trial to determine whether he should be sent to a state mental hospital.
That trial was set to begin July 22, but at the last minute, Quarles admitted he was still dangerous and agreed to hospitalization. The catch is he can ask for a release one year after his commitment.
"I'm pleased," said Medina on Monday outside the San Diego courthouse where Quarles was set for trial. "It really doesn't surprise me. I think he may have realized that his chances of being set free after the civil commitment trial were not very good."
Medina added, "It gives me great pride to say I have reached my ultimate goal. He is not out free on the streets."
She encouraged other crime victims to be vigilant.
"Do not put your blind faith in the system," Medina said. "Be aware that you too may find yourself many years later having to deal with something that should have been put behind you."
Medina was joined by nationally-known attorney Gloria Allred and another of Quarles' victims, Mary Taylor.
Taylor, who is the mother of two boys, said she has spent a good part of her life trying to keep the memories of her attack stashed away in a box.
"When I heard the news last spring that Quarles would be released 25 years early, I felt like the box fell off the shelf," she said. "I feel like I've spent the last year scrambling to figure out how to repack it and put it back on the shelf."
Taylor said she hopes that in the future the district attorney will give victims advance notice of the pending release of Quarles and other sexually violent predators.
"No community should have to live with this and know that somebody who has a history of doing this is there with the opportunity to do it again," she added.
Both women say they plan to stay up-to-date on Quarles' whereabouts and if he is ever considered for release again, they will be ready to testify against him.

Man arrested over shooting of lesbian couple
A man who allegedly sexually assaulted and shot a lesbian couple in the US has been arrested.
David Malcolm Strickland, 27, is believed to have sexually assaulted and shot Mollie Olgin 19 and her girlfriend Kristene Chapa in 2012 in a Portland park. Olgin died as a result of being shot in the head while Chapa survived with brain injuries.
Strickland was arrested Friday nearly two years after the attack.
The suspect was arrested by U.S. Marshals and Texas Rangers in the San Antonio suburb of Helotes. Strickland's wife has also been detained on charges of tampering with evidence.
Portland Police Chief Gary Giles said in a statement:
"I hope that it gives them [the families] some closure knowing that this person is taken off the street. "It is one day before the two-year anniversary. We've been working very hard to make sure we get him as soon as possible. A series of fortunate events has led us to this point and I'm just very happy that we could help in — at least at this point — in bringing him to justice."
It is believed Strickland took the women by gunpoint, bound them and shot them in Violet Andrews Park in Portland. A couple passing by the next morning discovered Olgin and Chapa.
If found guilty Strickland faces chargers of capital murder, aggravated assault with a weapon and aggravated sexual assault.

Why Criminal Defendants Should Not Represent Themselves in Court
If you've been charged with a crime and are thinking about representing yourself in court, think again. You've heard the saying, "A doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient." Similarly, a criminal defendant who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.
5 Reasons to Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Why shouldn't you save some money and represent yourself? Let's look at some of the reasons:
- You'll make mistakes. The law is precise, with a lot of rules and requirements. A simple mistake-a missed deadline or filing the wrong paperwork-could mean the difference between freedom and jail time. Do you have complete confidence in your ability to become an overnight expert in the legal system and the criminal process?
- The prosecutor and judge won't take it easy on you simply because you lack a lawyer. The judge hearing your case and the lawyer who is prosecuting it may see dozens of criminal defendants each and every day. With a long list of cases to deal with, they will have little patience if you slow things down and are making mistakes. Ask yourself: Do you want to annoy the two people who may have the biggest influence on whether you land in prison?
- Criminal defense lawyers study and train for years before they first appear in court. If the law were easy, the world wouldn't need lawyers. After college, attorneys spend three years in law school then train as "associates" for seven to 10 years. All the while, they're regularly attending seminars, reading articles and continuing to learn.
- It probably won't save you any money. Say you've been charged with a misdemeanor crime that could bring a fine of a couple hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Maybe you want to save the cost of hiring a criminal defense attorney because you know you'll have to pay the fines. An attorney may be able to strike a deal with the prosecutor in exchange for a lower fine-or no fine at all. Often a lawyer is the best investment you'll make when you've been charged with a crime.
- Most importantly, a criminal conviction will have long-lasting repercussions. Depending on the severity of the charges, you're putting your freedom, your job, your relationships and your money on the line when you represent yourself in criminal court. Are you really willing to take the risk and lose all of those things simply because you decided not to hire an attorney?

The NSA Can Read Everything on Your Cell Phone
They're also <em>1984 </em>fans.
Der Spiegel has confirmed what you have probably come to suspect after over three months of reading Edward Snowden's leaked secrets: the National Security Agency is capable of accessing data on iPhones, Blackberries, and Androids. The German magazine's report, which was co-authored by frequent Snowden collaborator Laura Poitras, says documents show that the NSA has assigned separate teams to hack into the operating system of each kind of device without the cell phone companies' knowledge. The agency can now view "contacts, call lists, SMS traffic, notes and location information," though Der Spiegel notes that the practice "has not been a mass phenomenon. It has been targeted, in some cases in an individually tailored manner."
So, the NSA is probably not reading your sexts, unless you are in contact with suspected terrorists or an agent's ex. But don't forget that they could, if they wanted to. The agency is good at overcoming setbacks:
[The document] also notes there was a period in 2009 when the NSA was temporarily unable to access BlackBerry devices. After the Canadian company acquired another firm, it changed the way in compresses its data. But in March 2010, the department responsible declared it had regained access to BlackBerry data and celebrated with the word, "champagne!"
And that's not the report's only "fun" part. According to the AP, Der Spiegel's full piece (set for release on Monday) includes portions of a NSA presentation that unsubtly references the movie version of 1984, George Orwell's book about a dystopic surveillance state: "The slides — which show stills from the film, former Apple Inc. chairman Steve Jobs holding an iPhone, and iPhone buyers celebrating their purchase — are captioned: 'Who knew in 1984 ... that this would be big brother ... and the zombies would be paying customers?'" Today's middle school teachers might want to think about updating their summer reading assignments.

So here we are, less than a few days away from the brand new DC Universe, or the DCnU, as Newsarama has been calling it. That's a name DC might welcome, because that's their whole point behind this thing: new stories for a new generation of readers.
New stories also mean that every character, big and small, is getting a new look and a new set of problems, but no one seems to be getting a bigger makeover than the Man of Steel. We've all seen the new Kryptonian battle suit and I, for one, think it looks good. Admittedly, the reasoning behind a man whose very skin is invulnerable to essentially everything needing a battle suit is kinda shaky, but I see the point they're trying to make.
Superman isn't just fighting random criminals, he's waging a war against evil. And in wars, you need gear like armor to provide protection. There's also the idea that several key DC employees have said, which is that Supes wants to feel closer to his Kryptonian heritage. Certainly the suit is alien-looking in two respects: 1. It doesn't jive with how the entire world, not to mention comic book fans, see Superman, and 2. It's different in a semi-futuristic way from our traditional conception of battle armor. The bright red is more subdued when compared to the overall blue, which is also a good thing. Too much red and Kal could be an easy target for, say, someone like Deadshot.
Aside from his look, Superman will also be having new stories thrown his way courtesy of Grant Morrison, Rags Morales, and Rick Bryant in Action Comics and George Perez and Jesus Merino in Superman.
Both of these teams are dynamite all the way around as far as I'm concerned. Let's start with the Superman guys first. George Perez, in a way that I'm sure veteran fans found great, has come full circle, having illustrated the first DCU do-over with Crisis on Infinite Earths and taken over duties as writer and illustrator on Wonder Woman. Now here he is, pulling double duty again on Superman, albeit in a somewhat diminished capacity (he will only be drawing page breakdowns and covers at the outset). Perez's writing is direct, fun, and good storytelling, and the preview scenes of Superman #1 that we've seen make me curious and eager for more, something any writer, in any medium, should strive to do. I look forward to seeing where he goes with things.
Merino, to me, is in the top tier of superhero artists. His inking work with Carlos Pacheco, particularly during the Camelot Falls storyline as well as in the Green Lantern title, was pleasing and enjoyable to look at. The interior artwork shown so far proves that Merino has a definite look down for Clark, Lois, Perry, and the rest. Yes, it can be argued to an extent that Merino is simply finishing up the breakdowns that George Pérez has already drawn, but I don't buy it. I think of it as Pérez laying the foundation and then Merino coming in to do all the brickwork. Jesus seems like a natural fit for George.
While Superman looks to be a solid title, it's Action Comics that everyone will have their eye on when it hits September 7. Grant Morrison is the writer responsible for the oft-lionized All-Star Superman which DC and many others have gone out of their way to praise for being one of the best Superman stories ever written. Mark Waid, in his introduction to Volume 2 of the series, said that he's "read every Superman story and never one better." I wouldn't go that far, but I will say that that miniseries is one of the best Superman stories I've ever read, and it's usually the one I recommend to my non-comic book reading friends.
Morrison has said that he won't try to repeat his best success; in fact, he's even said his Action run will be better! However, he's said his planned 16-issue run will touch upon some themes from All-Star. In a video posted on Newsarama, he hinted at one of those themes, saying that "in any given era, [Superman] represents the best of what we can be. He's always gonna represent what we could be at any given time." The idea of Superman embodying the best of humanity despite his outsider status as an alien was present in All-Star and I look forward to seeing how Morrison will further explore that.
Morrison also said that "if you have a comic called 'Action' it should have a lot of action in it. The idea is to keep Superman constantly moving in every single scene. You open the first page, and he starts running and doesn't stop until the end. That's a different style from "All-Star" which was a kind of static, 1950s style, Wayne Boring colossal Superman." That constant action will be interesting to see, particularly as Morrison, in his work on JLA and other comics like We3, can write some gonzo action scenes!
The other interesting thing about this run of Action is the fact that it's set five years in the past, making this a book about Superman's early days, hence, the blue jeans and work boots with the cape and T-shirt. I kinda like this Springsteen-ish look because it shows that this Superman is definitely a man of the people, a "champion of the oppressed" as it said in his initial introductory text. The look, particularly as glimpsed on that initial Action #1 cover by Morales, with bullets bouncing off of Clark as he leaps over cars, makes for a really dynamic and positive image of someone standing up for the downtrodden, which is something Superman has stood for since his beginnings in 1938.
Action isn't the only DCU book set in the recent past; Justice League #1 has been revealed to be set a few months after the events in the inaugural issue of Action, something that establishes the idea that, from the very beginning, our favorite heroes were united, which is an image of inspiration that many could benefit from.
Morrison has also said to Newsarama that "We're trying to tie in to everything. I'm telling stories set five years prior to the stories, say, George Perez is telling in his "Superman" book. So we're kind of doing different parts of Superman's life, but there's definitely things that will tie in. I'll be setting up things in my book that will peel off into other books. The plan, of course, is quite big and always changing. We're introducing a lot of new characters and villains for Superman - new environments and new takes on some familiar stuff as well."
Of those new takes, he said "We're playing a very different take on the Lex Luthor/Superman relationship. It's quite flipped on its head. Luthor is almost the good guy to a certain extent. All of the relationships are going to be different. Superman's relationship with Jimmy Olsen is completely different, but it makes sense in a way that I'm surprised nobody has thought of before now. The same goes for Lois Lane. Things won't be quite the same for Superman and Lois, and we'll see how truly different their lives will be. I think it'll add some new tension and a new dynamic to it. It won't be predictable at all."
Morrison has also said he doesn't know how his run will end. But I have no problem with that, because, at least to this reader, organic storytelling that flows naturally is the best kind of storytelling.
Grant will be helped in his storytelling skills by the team of Rags Morales and Rick Bryant. Despite the fact that Morales illustrated the nadir of "grim 'n' gritty" storytelling, Identity Crisis, his poses are dynamic, his linework is clean, and his facial expressions are realistic. I also enjoyed the intricacies of his artwork on DC's First Wave book; they not only set the pulpish tone of that book but enhanced it. If I'd trust anyone to capture the uncertainty of Supes in his early days, it's Rags.
Bryant, on the other hand, I don't know much about. I've seen his work with Morales on First Wave though, and I've liked it. His inks don't get in the way, but instead flesh out and heighten the original artwork, which is what all inkers of other artists' work should try to do. I'm excited to see his skills at work here.
Now, a lot of people are nervous about where Morrison and co. are going to take things. After all, Morrison did write Final Crisis, which is, without question, the most confusing, new-reader unfriendly, and jarring event ever published by DC. But there's really not that much to worry about. Morrison may be telling the early days of Superman, but they're going to be with familiar villains, familiar cast members, and maybe some new additions on both sides. But every era of pop culture requires innovation, and comics are no exception. For better or worse, the bald man from Glasgow has made himself into one of comics' most preeminent innovators. So, I say, give Grant a chance. I think we'll all be surprised... one way or another!
Many people are also nervous because it's been told that Superman will be more alienated. However, as many have been quick to point out, Superman is not Batman and will not be a brooder. Morrison has said that Krypton's Last Son will only be darker and conflict with the law because he seeks justice. He also says he'll make Kal "a bit more brash, a bit more wild." As Tim Callahan, writing for Tor.com, pointed out, this is to address the issue that many readers think "Superman is boring." To quote Callahan:
Not only is the Man of Steel being reinvented, but so are the Kid of Steel and the Maid of Might.
First up, let's tackle Supergirl. Unlike her cousin, it seems she's being set up as a brooding teenager by writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson. The duo have also said that they want to do a few things with their run:
1. They want to establish who she is, and what her journey is on Earth.
2. They want it to be as new-reader friendly as possible.
3. There will be a mystery as to how Supergirl got to Earth in the first place.
4. They say Supergirl will have a life and friends but will struggle with others' assumptions and her life on Earth, as well as her rogues' gallery and the fact that the yellow sun will affect her differently than her male counterparts.
5. They've said that Kara has just lost her parents and now feels like an outsider.
Taken as a whole, these facts seem to lay out an interesting premise. The way the duo wants to tackle Supergirl seems to be like how the character would be written if she received the Smallville treatment instead of Kal, a stance that I think is refreshing. Admittedly, I don't know much about the various incarnations of Supergirl (especially the post-Crisis incarnation) but I still think this is a good move nonetheless. Supergirl needs to be seen as more than just "Superman if he was a girl" and this seems like a step in the right direction.
Mahmud A. Asrar's art also seems a leap forward. His Supergirl looks alien and foreign, someone that, you might think if you saw her at a party, had just arrived from out of town and didn't quite know her way around. The new costume emphasizes her alienness, perhaps in an even greater fashion than Superman's. While it reminds me somewhat of the costumes worn in the anime Kekkashi, it also suggests a regal bearing, particularly in the high cape and boots. Whatever status Zor-El and Alura are revealed to have had in the new version of Krypton, it's obviously an important one. I haven't read, to my knowledge, anything Asrar has drawn, but what I'm seeing, I'm liking. My best wishes go out to them.
Last is Superboy. Right off the bat, the cover of his new number 1 had people concerned. Is he going to be angsty and extreme? they asked themselves. That isn't the Connor Kent I know! But remember, this isn't the Connor Kent anyone will have known.
Scott Lobdell has a huge legacy as a writer, particularly on the X-family of titles for Marvel. I haven't read any of that stuff, but Lobdell, from what I've read in interviews, seems like a nice, cool guy. He's also someone having a huge stake in the brand new DC, writing not only this title, but also Teen Titans and Red Hood and the Outlaws. Clearly, Dan Didio and others trust him to tell the right stories and he seems determined not to disappoint.
In an interview with Bleeding Cool, Lobdell revealed that Superboy will be interconnected with Teen Titans, although what that means time-wise is uncertain. He's also revealed that everything is the same: there's still Tactile Telekinesis, Conner still showed up after the death of Superman, and he is still a clone of Superman and Lex Luthor.
There are only 2 things I'm left wondering: Is Project N.O.W.H.E.R.E., something hinted in the first issue solicit, the same thing as Cadmus and will this Superboy experience the same levels of angst and existential self-doubt that the creators of the Young Justice cartoon have explored? The latter would be a good idea. Not only is Young Justice a huge hit with kids and adults, but this version of Superboy is emotionally affecting in a way that the other incarnations just haven't been for me. Hopefully, Lobdell will take some cues from Greg Weisman and his cohorts.
As far as artist R.B. Silva, again, I don't know him. Apparently his Jimmy Olsen co-feature with Nick Spencer is great; I don't know, I haven't read it. What I'm seeing though - tight artwork, nice angles - I'm liking and for now, I'm OK with that.
One more thing I forgot to mention. According to the DC: The New 52 promo magazine, the new Stormwatch book will take place after the events of Superman #1 and the new monster of that issue will also be encountered in some capacity by the Stormwatch team. If nothing else, this bit of info says that, unlike the last history-erasing relaunch, the Superman Family books will not be a tightly interconnected soap opera in and of themselves. They will freely tie into other books within the new DCU as a whole, which, in this age of every website linking to other sites, seems like the right call to make.
And there you have it, folks, my thoughts on the new Superman books and the new Superman looks. I hope you enjoyed this analysis and, if you did (or didn't, I can take criticism), please send me a PM here on the Homepage. Until next Wednesday where everything changes, let me just say, to steal a bit from J. David Weter at Superman Forever Radio, "Keep on Fighting the Never-Ending Battle!"

Police arrest pair - Rolla, MO - The Rolla Daily News
I wish I knew the rest of the story.Quote:
"Rolla, Mo. -
Rolla Police arrested two men in connection to a home-invasion and shooting that occurred last Thursday.
The arrests came on successive days this week. Starting with Deron Williams, 18, on Tuesday, while the arrest of Michael Sederburg, 18, came Wednesday.
According to the RPD, Sederburg and Williams entered into a home in the 10 block of Stephendale Court, brandishing a firearm.
A struggle allegedly ensued with the two residents, a 35 year-old male and 25 year-old female, and the suspects resulting in the male resident suffering a non-fatal gunshot wound to the face.
The victim originally was transported to Phelps County Regional Medical Center, but was later transfered to Columbia, where he was treated and released.
According to Detective Ken Nakanishi, one of the suspects knew the victims but would not specify who or how he knew the victims.
Eventually, the female resident was able to disarm the intruders, at which point both intruders fled the scene.
Williams is being charged with first-degree assault, first-degree burglary and attempted robbery in the first-degree and is being held on a $100,000 bond.
Sederburg, is being charged with first-degree burglary, armed criminal action and attempted robbery in the first-degree. His bond is also set at $100,000."

Maurice Brown & Theandre Kimbrough Earn MCC Post-Season Accolades
March 1, 2000
The UIC men's basketball team has landed two players on the Midwestern Collegiate Conference's post-season squads as freshman Maurice Brown (Syracuse, NY/Henninger) earned a spot on the All-Newcomer Team while senior Theandre Kimbrough (Zion, Ill./Zion-Benton) was voted to the All-Defensive Squad.
Brown, a starter in 24 games this season, enters the MCC Tournament this weekend at UIC with averages of 9.3 ppg and 6.6 rpg. He upped his production, however, to 12.9 ppg and 8.2 rpg against MCC foes, including career-highs of 22 points and 18 rebounds in a win over Detroit on Jan. 6. The 6-foot-7 forward recorded six "double-doubles" during the season while also breaking the UIC rookie scoring record with 269 points.
Joining Brown on the all-newcomer team are Damon Stringer (Cleveland State), Clay Tucker (UW-Milwaukee), Terrell Riggs (Detroit) and Mike King (UW-Green Bay).
Kimbrough, the Flames' leading scorer with an average of 13.5 ppg, leads the league with 51 steals and enters the post-season action this weekend ranked eighth on the all-time thefts list. UIC's top point man in 12 outings this season, Kimbrough has averaged 16.9 ppg in the last eight contests while scoring 20 or more points five times this year. He becomes the first-ever Flames player to earn a place on the all-defensive team.
Kimbrough is joined on the all-defensive squad by Mike Marshall (Butler), Rashad Phillips (Detroit), Earl Brown (Loyola) and Jerry Carstensen (UW-Green Bay).
Brown and Kimbrough will lead UIC against Cleveland State in the first round of the 2000 Nokia/MCC Men's Basketball Tournament which begins this weekend at the UIC Pavilion. The Flames will take on the Vikings at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

I have a debian system that's freezing in the boot sequence at "Setting system clock". Several sites I looked at recommended changing the init scripts to disallow hardware access to the clock. But, I can't boot! Is there a parameter I can pass to the kernel at boot so that it will skip init scripts?
There are two main ways of booting in a maintenance mode. Both require editing the kernel boot line in the bootloader (e.g., grub). At the end of the line that looks like

Alternatively, you could boot a live CD (or USB stick) and repair your system from there.
It looks like I want runlevel 1: "Your system starts with the runlevel specified in /etc/inittab. E.g. id:2:initdefault: starts the system to runlevel 2 (Default in Debian).
You may override the default runlevel with kernel parameter. When the boot menu is displayed, select the edit option. Then locate the kernel line and append space and the desired runlevel number. E.g. "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30 root=/dev/sda2 ro 3" would boot to runlevel 3. "

Hypnotize yourself into quitting smoking
The fact remains that it is extremely frustrating and difficult to end addictions and vices. No matter how hard you may seem to try, these cravings return to your life. If smoking is one of the addictions that you want to end, but cannot seem to gather the will power or stopped for a few days to again succumb to the temptation, it is time to turn towards parallel therapies and say goodbye to cigarettes.
To see the effect of hypnotism working for you, you do not need to be a magician or have a spiritual bent of mind. Just taking professional help from a hypnotherapist can do wonders if you are determined to quit smoking. Apart from taking sessions to stop smoking, you can utilize self-hypnosis and be amazed with the results.
Hypnosis for quitting smoking allows people to change their thought process in the subconscious mind in order to remove all negative behavioral traits. Using this method, you can simply bypass your conscious mind and reach out to the subconscious mind to make changes in your behavior.
Self-hypnosis can become more effective after a hypnotic session with a clinical hypnotist as it does wonders for your confidence and increases the chances of success. Before starting self-hypnosis, you must first get a grip on the process as it is only then that you will be able to get substantial results from this technique. The following instructions for self-hypnotizing can help you in quitting smoking:
- First choose a quiet place for this process. The place should ideally be pleasant and peaceful.
- Sit comfortably on the chair or simply lay on your back.
- Close your eyes and relax properly. Systematically tense and relax your face, arms, and rest of the body to release any tensions.
- De-clutter your mind from all thoughts that are hovering around and try focusing on your breathing. Control your breathing, and take deep breathes.
- Think of a bright yet gentle light scanning through your body from head to toe. This will end the traces of anxiety or stress that might be there in your mind and body.
- Once you are fully relaxed and ready for getting suggestions, start imagining the situation when you will receive accolades for quitting smoking. You can use audio scripts to help you reinforce the thought under self-hypnosis. Once you have successfully done with this step, your subconscious mind will do the rest.
- Imagine the complete scene. The energy and excitement that you would gather from this process will remain with you and help you in restraining from smoking.
- Other than that you can give yourself suggestions that reinforce the thought that smoking is bad and needs to end.

Raid 1 or Raid 0: which should I choose?
Posted by James Steddum in Tips and Tricks
When considering these 2 raid options there are a few points you'll want to consider before making your final choice.
The first to consider is your data, so ask yourself these questions:
- Is it critical data that your data be recoverable?
- Do you have backups of your data that can be restored if something happens?
- Do you want some kind of redundancy and the ability to have a failed drive replaced without your data being destroyed?
If you have answered yes to most of these, you are going to want to look at a Raid 1 configuration. With a Raid 1 you have 2 drives of like size matched together in an array, which consists of an active drive and a mirror drive. Either of these drives can be replaced should one go bad without any loss of data and without taking the server offline. Of course, this assumes that the Raid card that you are using is up to date on it's firmware and supports hot swapping.
If you answered no to most of these questions other than the backup question (you should always have backups), a Raid 0 set-up is probably sufficient. This is used mostly for disk access speeds and does not contain any form of redundancy or failover. If you have a drive failure while using a Raid 0 your data will be lost 99% of the time. This is an unsafe Raid method and should only be used when the data contained on the array is not critical in anyway. Unfortunately with this solution there is no other course of action that can be taken other than replacing the drives and rebuilding a fresh array.
I hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion regarding these 2 Raid options. There are several other levels of Raid which I would suggest fully researching before you consider using one of them.
