Book Description
"Woe to the rash mortal who seeks to know that of which he should remain ignorant; and to undertake that which surpasseth his power!"
One of the strangest and most unforgettable eighteenth-century novels, Vathek is a wild Gothic fantasy whose sensuous imagination and grotesque comedy have inspired writers from Byron to Lovecraft. The Caliph Vathek is dissolute and debauched, and hungry for knowledge. When the mysterious Giaour offers him boundless treasure and unrivaled power he is willing to sacrifice his god, the lives of innocent children, and his own soul to satisfy his obsession. Vathek's extraordinary journey to the subterranean palace of Eblis, and the terrifying fate that there awaits him, is a captivating tale of magic and oriental fantasy, sudden violence and corrupted love, whose mix of moral fable, grotesque comedy, and evocative beauty defies classification.
My Review
This book is considered to be the 1,002 fable in the Arabian Nights Tales. It was interesting but fantasy is not one of my favorite genres. The narrative of Vathek uses a third person, omniscient, in the sense that he knows what is happening everywhere. The novel, while it may lend itself to be divided into chapters, is one complete manuscript without pause. It's humor is entertaining in some parts but it does drag in the middle. If you like fantasy type fables then I would recommend this book for you.

Vathek William Beckford
This is the story of the Caliph Vathek a dissolute man with obvious Mummy issues, when he meets a mysterious Indian who promises him magical weapons and knowledge in exchange for him renouncing his religion, murdering hundreds of innocent children and betraying his people the Caliph thinks, you know what that sounds like a good plan with no downside so why not...
Well as every sensible person knows the only reward you are going to get for betraying every good principle in the world is a slow, painful death and guess what the Caliph gets??
A fairytale akin to the Arabian Nights with a strong moral against greed and power. Vathek falls from grace by being tempted by the Giaour (a demon type thing) and declines steadily. An easy read but not particularly exciting.
Almost works as a self-parody. Almost. And it's clear that this wasn't intentional on the part of Beckford.

text: hello everybody. on the first of April i ordered two tins of percussion caps from Dixie Gun Works. well, they arrived today (the 11th of April) safely at my doorstep. however one problem...I ORDERED TWO AND ONLY GOT ONE!!!! when i cut open the package i noticed that there was not two tins, but one tin of CCI #11 magnum caps. that is a problem. i tore open the rest of the package and scoured the remains for a second tin but it was nowhere to be found. however i found my order receipt and took a look at it. it says they cannot ship more than one tin at a time and so the other tin was canceled from my order. BUMMER!!! :banghead: so in case you are thinking about stocking up on caps from DGW beware that ordering more than one tin is not possible.

'Bachelor' Sean Lowe promises 'drama and a little cattiness' this season
During the last installment of "The Bachelorette," earnest Texas Sean Lowe seemed like a shoo-in to win the girl. His down home attitude, wholesome good looks and family focus seemed just right for single mom Emily Maynard. Alas, he got his heart handed back to him and now he returns to the ultimate group date as the newest star of "The Bachelor" on Mon. Jan. 7 at 8:00 p.m. In a conference call with journalists, Lowe talked about taking a second shot at love on national television, the drawbacks of a house full of estrogen, and why he doesn't care if he sees another rose again for as long as he lives.
Even though Maynard is back on the market (she split with the bachelor she chose, Jef Holm, before they could walk down the aisle), Lowe never considered trying to pick up where they left off. "I heard about their split at our final destination [of 'The Bachelor'], but I think even before we did 'The Bachelor' I knew she wasn't the one for me." Not that he has any animosity toward the woman who shot him down on national television. "Jef's a good guy… and I hope for happiness for her in her future." He added that watching her relationships with finalists Jef and Arie play out on television helped him get over her more quickly than he might have otherwise. "I realized over time she's not the one for me, and I knew she had her doubts about me. The woman I spend the rest of my life with, I don't want her to have any doubts."
It seems he may have gotten a good idea of who's right for him on "The Bachelor." "The producers did an excellent job [of casting]," he said. "I told them I wanted girls who were well suited for me, and I got to know [the producers] really well while I was on 'The Bachelorette' and they got a good sense of who I am, but I was blown away by the amount of wonderful women [they found]. Smart, accomplished, funny… I get to a point [on the show] where I have so many wonderful women, I don't know what I'm going to do." Though of course he can't say if he came away from the experience with a fiancee, he does say, "I had no idea I would become so attached and so emotionally invested in multiple women. I'd heard about that happening on past seasons from people who'd done the show, but I thought that would be so hard to [find love]. But it can happen, and it did happen."
If you're wondering, Lowe did have a checklist for what he was looking for in the perfect girl. "First, I really wanted to find my best friend, someone I can see myself spending every day with… I was looking for someone who is smart. A woman's intellect is probably the sexiest thing for me. So, funny, a good heart, and possessing all the characteristics you want in a wife." But don't look for Emily look-alikes. "If they're expecting me to follow a certain type of woman, they'll be disappointed."
Lowe says that, despite the show having a pretty lousy track record for creating lasting relationships, he was never deterred. "I've never paid attention to the track record for past relationships. I knew my feelings were very real and genuine for Emily, so I thought I'd give it [another] try." Even though Lowe said he went into "The Bachelor" with an open mind, he admitted, "I'm not going to propose to anyone if I have any doubts. If I have any doubts at all, there's no pressures to propose. I can continue our relationship in the real world, or I can say no to both the final two women."
He struck out on "The Bachelorette," but says the experience showed him he could find love on a television show. "My feelings for Emily were very real, and most of the people who watched the show could definitely recognize that," he said. "[But] I wouldn't have accepted 'The Bachelor' unless my heart was definitely mended. Fresh start is a great way to put it." He did say that he took "a week" to make the decision to do "The Bachelor," though. "I talked to the family and I prayed about it. I am in a situation where I wand to find the love of my life, and, as crazy as it sounds, I think you can find that on 'The Bachelor.'"
That doesn't mean he went strictly by the book on the show. "I've never been one to conform to the rules, so you'll see me break quite a few rules this season." Although he got a reputation as a prankster on "The Bachelorette," he said, "I think I'm funny, but I'm not a prankster. But you'll see a prank or two this season because I think people have come to expect that from me now… With Emily, everything they aired had me being a little more serious… because Emily is very proper. This season they'll see me a lot more relaxed and goofy, so to speak. You're not going to see all serious conversations."
One thing you may not see is the suggestion of sex on the "sleepover" dates. Though Lowe would neither confirm nor deny rumors that he's a "born again virgin," he did say that he saw those dates with the final three women as an opportunity to bond more than anything else. "I wanted to use it as time to spend alone, together, off camera. I think it's valuable time I didn't want to bypass, and it's an optimal opportunity to get to know those women better."
Given that Maynard was a single mom, Lowe addressed the topic of children. One contestant on the show is a single mom, though he said. "That's not a deal breaker for me at all. With Emily, I said it almost made her more attractive to me because I saw the love she had for her daughter in her eyes, and that's what I'd like to see in the woman I marry." Not that he's in a rush to reproduce. "Of course I want a family. I value family very much. But I can take my time with having kids. Ideally, I'd like to take a couple of years before we start adding children to the family. But I would be prepared to take on that situation right now if I needed to."
One of the enduring elements of the show is cattiness amongst the women, and this year appears to be no different than anything. "There's gonna be drama and a little cattiness. I think that's inevitable when you have this much estrogen in a house. But I was pleasantly surprised to find these women put their hearts out there." Too much cattiness, however, was a turn-off. "It's almost inevitable for it to happen, but it always irritated me when girls got caught up in the drama and lost focus on the reason we were all there. I just wanted them to focus on the relationship." And for those who complained about their fellow competitors to Lowe, he tried to keep an open mind about who was right and who was just crazy. "I went into it wanting to form my own opinions, but at the same time you can't ignore it when multiple women are saying bad things about a person. At the end of the day, I made the decision that was right for me."
If he did pick a lucky certain someone, though, she'd better get used to the idea she may not get a traditional bouquet from Lowe again anytime soon. "In my past I've given out some roses, and I'm going to give out a ton this season. But after this, I'd be happy if I didn't see another rose for the rest of my life."

2004 BMW X3 Overview
A "high-level tripster" that "bucked the worst" weather were among the accolades from car reviewers for BMW's debut version of the X3. Built as an entry-level version alternative to BMW's popular X5 line of SUV's, the X3 was an immediate hit, despite some flaws.
Drivers caution new buyers to stay away from a $1,500 sports package - the stubby-sidewall tires included in the package actually create a rougher ride than the standard configurations. Drivers were also a bit disappointed with the X3's shifting, which is normally an unparalleled point of pride for BMW owners and designers.

A Rare Interview With Keith Moon
CC: When did [managers] Kit Lambert and Chris
Stamp arrive?
MOON: They arrived when we were playing the Scene Club as The High Numbers. Kit first saw us in Harrow, and from there we signed with Kit and Chris. We've been stuck with them ever since. Somebody's got to look after them.
CC: Is it true that when you first started
playing the Marquee, fans were paid to come and see the Who?
MOON: This was the Shepherds Bush mod crowd who came to see us at the Goldhawk Road social club. Kit had an idea to get us into the West End and he wanted to form a nucleus of hardcore Who fans and call them the Hundred Faces. He would give them all a ticket and membership in the Hundred Faces, and make it very exclusive. This was the start of the Marquee sessions. We took the club on a Tuesday night because nothing ever happened on a Tuesday. We moved in and gave all these free tickets to these staunch supporters of ours from Shepherds Bush.
A massive invasion took place with these guys — their chicks and friends and a few people must have wandered in. gradually we built it up so that by the time we left the Marquee, it was getting packed. That was all our London Marquee, and the West End. People started coming from all over, the Elephant And Castle and East End.
CC: Had you started breaking equipment then?
MOON: We started earlier than that, actually. It was an accident at the Railway. Pete did it as a mistake. We were very visual onstage with theatrics, and Pete was always swinging his guitar about. One day — whack — the head fell off! The drums used to really disintegrate on their own — I hit them so hard. The fittings were designed for dance bands. When you got somebody like me, they just snapped off.
My whole style of drumming changed when I joined the band. Before, I had just been copying straight from records, but with The Who I had to develop a style of my own. I took [the idea] from Gene Krupa with all the stick twiddling and thought it was great. The sticks used to fly out of my hands because I was sweating like a pig. They'd just slide out. All these things had an effect on the audience.
They'd wonder what was going on. There was a lot of raving going on in the States, but over here the ravers were outnumbered by the Shadows-type nice groups.
CC: Can you remember making "Can't Explain?"
[single released February 1965.]
MOON: Yes, for us it was phenomenally successful because it got into the Top 20, and we can't even do that now, not that we ever release anything. It was released about the time Pete started getting into writing. He had written a couple of things before, but now he had bought a pen and paper because we could afford it. We borrowed the money from Kit because we thought he was a millionaire. He probably had about £150, but that was a million to us. Chris Stamp had to go and work on films to keep us.
CC: When did you start playing outside of
MOON: We used to play some Sunday concerts with people like Dusty Springfield, Gerry And The Pacemakers, and massive bills. Each group had about three minutes. It was one number and off. Our one number used to last about 15 minutes, and we weren't very popular so we didn't do many. We invariably got into trouble for over-running and being generally nasty. Then we did [early British rock television show] Ready, Steady, Go and a Beatles show in Blackpool.
CC: Were you having trouble with record
companies at this time?
MOON: One always is. The record companies are strange. Some try harder than others, but the ones we had weren't trying at all. There were hassles everywhere. A lot of it was pointless. Now we get together and thrash things out, but then we weren't equipped for that. We'd just smash each other in the mouth to solve things.
CC: When did you first go to America?
MOON: That was much later. We did the Ready, Steady, Go things, and then the Ready, Steady, Who record [an early EP]. Kit had some connections in Paris and we did a couple of shows over there [in 1964]. That was the first time we ever went abroad. I remember Kit taking me to a bistro and I threw up all over the drums. The group's music was a lot of Motown stuff, which we got into at the Marquee. There was "Baby Don't You Do It," which we still do, and "Barbara Ann." That's the kind of music I was into then, as well as Who music.
CC: Were you ever a mod?
MOON: No, I was a rocker. Everybody was generally scruffy except John. We wore jeans and T-shirt gear basically. Pete would always wear comfortable clothes. The pop-art thing was Kit's idea.
CC: You were always looked on as being an
arrogant, nasty bunch.
MOON: We were. We were very nasty, and still are.

S&P downgraded MG's credit rating from B to B-. They cited lack of political and Olympics revenue for possible default in late 2011 or 2012. That should put pressure on the stock in the near term.
May be getting close to a another trading opportunity. I always make money trading this stock, but I usually buy in too soon. I think I will wait a little longer to get a lower price. Any comments?
I guess the question is will we retest the Nov 30 closing low of $4.26 and the intraday of $4.18. That could be a great trading price. Hold until just over $5.00 for a 20% profit. Sell at $6.00 for a 40% profit.
Getting closer but I think this stock can be bought again in the 4's. I think I'll wait for that to buy back in.
I bought today but not as a trade...it's cheap.
Has anyone else noticed about a years worth of topic is missing. Most of these dated this year are over a year old or more.

Drupal 8 API freeze
Frankly, Drupal 8 will be our best release ever, by far, and I can't wait to get it in your hands.
+100. It's so exciting to finally be at this point!
Great news! We are really looking forward to D8.
Any idea of when you expect to have a mature D8 (incl organic groups and other key modules) ?
Hi Christophe,
I think it's still early to make exact predictions about that, especially about Organic Groups.
Long awaiting moment. Still a long way to go. Congratulations and best of luck.
Time to convert my modules now ;)
It looks like a great release, particularly to us developers. Can't wait for it!
Road to one of the best REST-based frameworks has just begun, so let's get it out!
I do have a question about simpletests, because we are slowly switching to symfony, the unit tests will have to be updated to PHPunit. Is it planned and integrated as a task for D8 or not part of the plan?
There are already PHPUnit tests for core code, and there are people working on moving existing core unit tests over to PHPUnit.
However we don't have anywhere to move functional tests to yet (several people would like to move to behat but that's not in place yet), so SimpleTest will be sticking around for a while yet until that's all done.
Excellent! Looking forward to testing releases... thanks!
Thanks to all the guys in Drupal Dev Days Dublin for their effort last week. Here we go, Drupal8 !!
While the Drupal 7 release cycle until recently was a nightmare, in D8 the community really learned their lesson:
This time I'm absolutely sure that with the D8 release schedule, we'll have a relatively fast stabilization and module conversion, even though the architectural changes are huge.
While the D7 development cycle inactivated contributors, this time the early API freeze draws them in, so module developers can start with their conversions, while in core the many remaining issues keep being solved, performance and stability improved. Even self-contained features can be added.
Of course we would have loved to do so many more API changes/cleanups/whatever, but now module developers' time really has come!
Wow! I'm extremely excited of the final release of our awesome framework, and I can't wait to see how much of an impact this will be in the CMS frameworks sphere!

Keiki o ka 'Aina
She was a kitten when we first met her, a pretty little tabby with intelligent eyes and a lot of spunk.
She appeared at the back porch of a neighbor, who fed her briefly until moving to the Mainland, leaving the kitten behind with a bag of food to be doled out by another neighbor until the new owners arrived.
That didn't happen. They went to Europe for a month, the food ran out, and her luck with it. That is, until she met Topden, our magnificent black-and-white cat, hand-raised at the Maui Dharma Center and a wise, compassionate being.
The kitten fell in love. She attached herself to our cat, aka Toobie, and what a sight it was to see them flying along the street in the evening, playing as one. Eventually she found her way to our back porch, where she and Toobie often curled up together, the kitten in the embrace of the larger cat. A true love affair.
I am allergic to cats. They give me asthma. We have a $900 air filter to keep the dander down and monthly baths are a non-negotiable condition of residence chez nous. We did not need another cat. Our carpet was already hopelessly marred by Toobie's childhood expressions. Besides, Tanya, Toobie's former paramour, was slinking about unhappily at the new love interest.
There the kitten sat at our screen door, paws firmly planted, waiting for us to feed her. "Well, the universe sent her," I thought. "Maybe she'll make a good cat." We called her "Trixie."
Initially we let her inside where she raced about like a mad thing and, of course fouled the carpet. It became a constant chore to keep her outside at night while letting the others in. A litter box had to be reintroduced.
Several weeks went by. When the thunder and lightning of Tropical Storm Flossie hit, I couldn't stand the sight of wet little Trixie fixed at the screen. I let her in. We did everything we could for the dear little thing, but do you know what? She was wild. She never warmed to us. She never let us stroke her; she backed away as if stung at our touch. Toobie was her guy. We were food service.
If we couldn't pick her up, we couldn't have her inoculated, and baths and flea treatment were out of the question. What were we to do?
Maybe a sanctuary like the East Maui Animal Refuge would help. Good luck getting a call back from those folks. They're overwhelmed. Maybe the Maui Humane Society would take her? Trying to stuff Trixie into a carrier elicited such fury I had to grab her by the tail. On a boiling day while she gnawed at the bars, I drove her to the animal shelter. They rejected her.
You see, the pretty vet tech explained, any animal put up for adoption has to be tame. Trixie probably was introduced to humans too late for her to trust them. Maybe with patience . . . ? The alternative? The needle. Reluctantly, I brought her home.
"Euthanize her!" said my friends.
Could she be welcomed to one of Maui's dozens of managed cat colonies? Ha. We asked someone about this, who patiently explained that the colonies already deal with so many interlopers there is no room to willingly import another.
How about dropping her off secretly at a colony at night? Nope. It's not only illegal, but would subject her to abuse from the regulars. There was no way, it seemed, to keep a smart, pretty, chronically frightened kitten alive on Maui without letting her disrupt our lives.
Then a brilliant idea arose. We know a dedicated woman who manages eight cat colonies on the west side. Would she, could she, maybe accept Trixie in exchange for a handsome donation? She had expenses. . . . There was a long pause.
"Well, that's very generous." Slowly she began to think out loud. Well, one colony was about to lose a cat. We'd trap the kitten, have her fixed and tattooed with the colony number, she'd be kept in a cage for a few days while she adjusted, and . . .
Trixie would have her life. She'd be with other cats and we'd be able to visit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had no idea the thought and care that Maui's cat colony managers employ, nor the devotion it takes to do what they do. Ours knows each one by name!
We let Trixie go yesterday. I am sad. Tanya is delighted. Toobie is nowhere to be seen, even though it's time for breakfast. I think he's looking for her.

Keiki o ka 'Aina
Our recent trip to Hana to look at historic churches with the popular Kaunoa teacher Sonny Gambonia took us about 10 hours from Haiku round trip, including lunch and several stops.
That's some improvement since the days of 1837 when an overland trip to Hana from Wailuku took 56 hours, and a trip back on a sailing canoe, six.
On Aug. 22, 1828, the missionaries William Richards, Lorrin Andrews and Jonathan Green, journeying to Hana via Haleakala Crater, dropped down from the rim to a small village on the Halehaku seashore.
The next day they came across a "pavement" built by the 17th-century chief Kihapi'ilani, that afforded the missionaries "no inconsiderable assistance" in ascending and descending the region's steep and difficult palis. "It extends more than 30 miles, and is a work of considerable magnitude."
They reached Honomanu that evening and were joined by the Princess Nahi'ena'ena, who arrived by canoe and spent the Sabbath with them. "A horn was blown and at an early hour the house was thronged with attentive worshippers." The next day, the princess addressed the people, a coup for the missionaries since the Hawaiians revered their chiefs and did as they suggested.
Nahi'ena'ena, then about 13, was the sister of Liholiho (Kamehameha II) and Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III), by Keopuolani, the sacred queen of Kamehameha I. Her mother had died and she clung to Richards as a surrogate father, initially devoting herself to the Christian teaching.
This was short-lived. Nahi'ena'ena was a princess of extremely high rank, considered divine, born to the rituals and rhythms of old Hawaii. Of all three siblings she had the hardest time reconciling the old religion with the new and it tore her apart.
Some 30 years later along Kihapi'ilani's trail, edifices arose proclaiming the victor in that struggle.
After that trip, Richards suggested a mission station be established in Hana, where the people were the best-looking and most well-fed of all he'd seen. The thatched Wananalua Congregational Church was built in 1838, on a site behind the ancient hilled fortress of Ka'uiki, where Kamehameha battled the forces of Maui during the conquest of the kingdom.
Work commenced in 1842 on the current building, a basilica plan with plastered lava and rock walls 2.5-feet thick. The resident missionary was the supremely unpopular Daniel Conde, mean-spirited and argumentative.
The next church constructed along Kihapi'ilani's trail was the beautifully maintained Kaulanapue'o Church in Huelo, famous for the owls that lived in the hala grove on the site, hence the name, "The Owl's Haven."
In 1853, the trees were cleared, and a rugged path made down a bluff to the sea, where men dived two or three fathoms to detach fragments of coral rock for the walls that were passed, relay fashion, from hand to hand back up the cliff. Coral was burned in a large pit makai of the site to make lime for mortar. Women and children gathered sand and the men carried stones from the ocean's edge and 'ohia beams from the forest above.
"It's in the top 15 of old buildings on Maui, and the best shape of them all," Sonny told us. Save for a repaired wall after an earthquake in 1938, the building is essentially the original. One thing he would change. "A stately old building like this needs a better door. The door isn't worthy."
We journeyed next to the similarly constructed Keanae Congregational Church at the tip of the peninsula, built in 1860. It is grandly named "Lanakila Ihiihi o Iehova Ona Kaua," which translates as "Sacredness, Success of Jehovah, the Son of God."
It was the only building in Keanae to remain on its foundation after the devastating April Fool's Day tsunami of 1946. It, too, with care has weathered the years well, although a quarter of the roof was destroyed last February. (Call Sandy Hueu at 248-8031 to help with repairs.)
In a simple, untended grave lies Uncle Harry Kunihi Mitchell, one of the heroes of the fight to reclaim Kaho'olawe from the Navy. He was the Maui kupuna who mentored the brash young members of the Protect Kaho'olawe 'Ohana in the early days of illegal landings, and at whose kitchen table so many plans were laid.
He was a Hawaiian in touch with the ancestral claim to Kanaloa, as the island was once known, resting in peace at a Christian church.

Keiki o ka 'Aina
We were at Keanae, looking at old churches, and I was thinking about miracles, large and small. In my world, where I was sitting qualified as one.
It was on a wooden pew outside the entrance to "The Miracle Church" at Wailua, that well-favored hamlet nestled at the verdant eastern edge of the peninsula.
The church sits on a rise affording a view across the valley of Wailua Falls, a white ribbon plummeting against the high backdrop of luxuriously green cliffs. To the east lay the mystery of Keanae Gap, brooding under the clouds. The garden was alive with ginger and heliconia. It was a brilliant blue day and in the thick air, a faint breeze stirred.
"Drink this in," I said to myself, "for I probably shall not pass this way again."
Sonny Gamponia, who leads photography classes of old churches through Kaunoa School, had kindly agreed to give two cars of history lovers a private trip. There we were, at the height of our journey, at the little chapel of Our Lady of Fatima, with its shrine to Mary brought from Portugal.
The Wailua Nui Church, as it was originally called, was built in 1865 by two Belgian priests with assistance from hundreds of Hawaiians, who did the hard labor of procuring the necessary material in a region with no beach. "Rocks abound, but the lime-boiled coral – as well as the sand, has to come from the . . . sea. One has to dive for it as deep as six to ten feet," wrote Father Leonor Kouesnel, the resident priest, in a letter dated July 31, 1865.
A day was chosen to begin the diving and hauling, but a fierce storm raged and did not calm for four days. "All of our people went down armed with iron bars to loosen the coral. What a surprise greeted them when, coming to the place . . . they found the shore heaped up with coral!"
The coral sufficed to put up the walls, but more was needed and sand as well to plaster them. Once again a time was set to dive. "On the following morning, once more huge waves rose, and took back the remainder of the coral, leaving behind, this time, a huge quantity of sand, unknown to that locality, for a distance of ten miles."
The people also went up into the mountains in procession, the priest leading, to cut and carry 'ohia for the beams. "What could not be gathered – boards and tile, bars, etc. – the Hawaiians bought with the little money they had managed to save or gathered by selling their animals."
I marveled at the devotion that went into that little church with its stuccoed walls, steepled cross now rakishly askew, twin sacred hearts painted at the front. It was a product of that winning formula, self-effort and grace, maker of miracles.
Another miracle occurred in the same area, this time in 1778. Kalaniopu'u was at Wailua fighting Kahekili, the chief of Maui, when Capt. James Cook's ship was sighted, first northeast of Mokuho'oniki with the prow turned a little to the southeast, then at Kahakuloa, then at Hamakua, and in the evening at Ko'olau.
Moho described the ship with its tall white masts to the Big Island chiefs and they were certain it was the beneficent god Lono, returned from Kahiki, the land of the ancestors. "Lono is a true god to us; he has come back. We descendants of his shall have life," they exclaimed.
The night passed, and the ship anchored the next day at Ha'alauea, just below Wailua. When they saw the strange object that exactly fit the description given by Moho, the people exclaimed, "The tower of Lono! Lono the god of our fathers." Then, said Samuel Kamakau in "Ruling Chiefs of Maui," "The men went out in such numbers to visit the ship that it was impossible for all to get on board."
Miracles occur, but they are also what you make of them.
We ended our tour with burgers on the terrace at the Hana Ranch Restaurant, a conservative choice considering we could have stopped along the way for fish tacos, pig tacos, Thai food, or vegan wraps at one of the innumerable stands that have proliferated along the highway.
It was a wonderful day. All it lacked, in my perspective, having seen signs for it at what seemed like every turn for the last 10 miles, was banana bread. "Here, take mine," said Sonny, handing me a loaf. "My wife doesn't want it."

Keiki o ka 'Aina
A cherished possession that has miraculously stayed with me over the years is the flowerpot, one of two, I commissioned in Waimea, Kauai, in 1975 from a potter who was experimenting with traditional Polynesian designs.
On either side is a double-hulled canoe in full sail, and in between the sun, moon and stars. Lettering on the bottom reads: Hawaii-Tahiti, 1975. I kept one for myself, the blue one, and gave the brown to my dear friend Tommy Holmes.
We met at the Kamuela Prom, as it was called, the big senior event at the then all-boys Hawaii Preparatory Academy on the Big Island to which guys invited dates over from Honolulu for the weekend. Tommy and I hit it off and to my astonishment, he persuaded my date and his to switch. That was a starry moment in my teenage firmament.
Tommy Holmes became a famous waterman, and one of the original three minds behind the creation of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, along with California anthropologist Ben Finney and Big Island artist Herb Kawainui Kane.
They came up with the idea of recreating a Polynesian voyaging canoe and retracing the route the old wayfarers took from Tahiti to Hawaii, using only the ancient means of navigation by the sun, the sea and the stars.
The canoe they built was, of course, the Hokule'a, "Star of Gladness," that sailed from Honolua Bay on May 1, 1976, and was greeted in Tahiti after a 31-day journey by 17,000 people who waded into the water and flooded the beaches to welcome them. I gave the flowerpot to Tommy, awash in accolades after the trip, as my humble acknowledgment of the accomplishment.
So much good for Hawaiian culture came from that voyage of discovery and the creation of what Kane called a "central object" to the Polynesian culture that pulled so many skills and cultural strains into the process.
Hokule'a began a momentous shift back to the roots of Hawaiian culture and sparked a renaissance all over Polynesia as people there began reclaiming the lost knowledge of the culture and building their own canoes. Other deep-sea voyaging canoes were crafted here: Hawaii Loa on Oahu, built of a spruce log given by Alaska natives; Hoku Alaka'i, at Hilo; Makali'i at Kawaihae on the Big Island; and Namahoe, under construction on Kauai.
The canoe renaissance began on Maui when Levan Sequeira built the Mo'olele, the 42-foot coastal cruiser, in Lahaina, and started the project to create the first blue-water voyaging canoe to be built on Maui in 800 years.
When Sequeira pulled out 17 years ago, Tim Gilliom, the oldest of the talented Gilliom siblings, stepped in to finish it. A captain and boat-builder, who was aboard Hokule'a's 1999 voyage to the Marquesas and Rapa Nui, he has the good humor, charm and Hawaiian soul, via his maternal grandmother, of the Gilliom family.
With help from an intermittent group of volunteers and some solid regulars, bit by bit, as funding has allowed, he has put together the massive 63-foot transoceanic canoe Mo'okiha o Pi'ilani, "the sacred lizard of Pi'ilani."
Gilliom lives simply in small quarters and has supported himself with boat work throughout the process. People love him. "He has the biggest heart in the world. Anybody come around, whatever he has, food, clothes, he shares," a volunteer told me. "He's a man of men. He's a true spirit."
He's good at everything except public speaking and asking for money. The canoe is set to be launched Dec. 21, but some $51,000 is still needed to buy life jackets, anchors and chains, and other equipment to make it seaworthy.
Under the auspices of Hui o Wa'a Kaulua, the nonprofit supporting the effort, volunteers offer outrigger canoe rides as well as surfboard, paddle board, and kayak rentals from their base of operations at Kamehameha Iki Park in Lahaina. (Call 280-9352 for reservations.)
For a donation you can also take a thrilling "white-knuckle" ride on the Mo'olele, an experience sure to instill "wa'a (canoe) fever."
"When I first sailed on this 17 years ago, I never left," Gilliom said.
He showed me the mast, almost finished, and the three long steering sweeps he's completing. On Hokule'a, he said, the names of the founders are carved on the sweeps. The one in the middle bears the name Kawainui; the one on the right, Finney's Tahitian name. The one on the left is for my braddah, now departed from this world for the eternal ocean: "Tommy."

Peterbilt Hybrid Reduces Fuel Use Up To 40%
Peterbilt is planning a hybrid-electric medium duty truck – outfitted with a fully integrated bucket lift body -? for 2007 that it says will result in a 30 to 40 percent reduction in fuel use.
The Class 7 Model 335 is meant for municipal and utility applications and features improved fuel economy while reducing noise and emissions. The hybrid Model 335 will be in limited production in 2007.
The truck uses a parallel hybrid system that was developed with Eaton Corporation. A parallel hybrid system has an electric motor that assists the mechanical diesel engine with supplemental torque for improved fuel economy. The system stores energy during stopping through a process called regenerative braking, and then reuses it for acceleration. The system also stores energy during idling and uses it to power the vehicle's PTO.
"We expect the hybrid Model 335 will result in a 30 to 40 percent reduction in fuel use through the combined improvement of on-road fuel economy and stationary jobsite operation," said Peterbilt Chief Engineer Landon Sproull. "The fuel savings, combined with reduced maintenance requirements, will significantly impact our customers' bottom line."
The truck and body communicate through a new J1939 digital controller which senses hydraulic demand from the body and automatically engages the hybrid system. Under a full charge, the PTO can operate for approximately 25 minutes at which time the vehicle will automatically start the diesel engine and recharge the hybrid's batteries. "It takes about three minutes to fully recharge," Sproull said. "So, during eight hours of operation, the diesel engine will run for less than an hour."
Reader Comments
Another aspect of the hybrid-parallel system is the use of engine off, truck idle missions. E-One has worked with Eaton and International in developing a parallel hybrid Command Center for the Fire/Rescue/Homeland Security market. Primary benefit: 25 kW electronic generator producing AC power, that runs off of the hybrid batteries. Virtually silent operation of vehcile at a scene. Fully functional Command Center with engine off operation for 60% to 70% of the time. When batteries get low, diesel engine will run for about 5 to 6 minutes to recharge batteries and then back to silent operation. The future is here.

Bert Newton's hair-raising tribute to Don Lane
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 05, 2009
of 2
- Lane farewelled among celebs and fans
- Stars pay tribute to TV legend
- Bert tells of his partner in crime
- Pictures: Remembering Don Lane
- Tribute: Don Lane Guest Book
- TV legend: Don Lane dies age 75
BERT Newton took off his wig, Helen Reddy sang for the first time in seven years and Don Lane's only son, PJ performed and gave an impassioned speech, as Don Lane was given a rousing farewell by celebrities and fans.
'The star turns came in a memorial service at Souths Juniors club in Kingsford in Sydney's south that was more a variety show than memorial.
Newton showed clear emotion when he told the club's packed auditorium the he would miss Lane "for the rest of my life".
He then changed the tempo entirely by removing his hairpiece to reveal largely bare terrain underneath.
In a clear reference to the lustrous head of hair of Lane's son, Newton said of the hairpiece: "This is now named PJ."
Lane, who entertained a generation of Australians with his night-time variety show, died last month of a dementia-related illness at the age of 75.
His son PJ Lane, a former basketballer now following his father's path into entertainment, opened the memorial by singing They're Playing Our Song for his father.
PJ described Lane as a talented showman.
"It's hard to match what he did because when Dad performed there was just this energy and excitement," he told the audience.
"He was unique, not just as a performer but as a person as well - he was such a larger-than-life personality and someone I was proud to call my Dad."
Among the high-profile attendees were Barry Crocker, Jon English, John Burgess, Mikey Robins, Mike Whitney and Maria Venuti.
A raft of veteran talent regaled the crowd with stories of Lane, including former Sports Minister Michael Cleary, comedy writer Mike McColl-Jones and fellow TV legend Bert Newton.
Newton was brought to tears speaking of Lane and said: "I'll miss him for the rest of my life".
At the end of his speech, Newton ripped off his famous hairpiece as a gesture to his friend.
Cleary praised Lane's son for his performance: "Don's not dead - PJ's here", while comedian Brian Doyle said Lane was the "complete performer".
Helen Reddy and Rhonda Burchmore performed numbers before a clip of Lane singing Once Before I Go closed the memorial.
Some fans had lined up outside the venue from 6.45am (AEDT), with Lane's former wife and manager Jayne Ambrose handing out copies of his autobiography.

Hybrid cars are probably cheaper than you think
Hybrid cars are more expensive than conventional cars, sometimes by $5000 or more. The obvious question is: is worth it? Do you recoup that additional vehicle cost from gas mileage savings at the pump? The answer is: almost certainly if you own the car for a while, but there are many other ways that buying a hybrid can save you money, some you may not know about.

The default producer configuration is to require that consumers register with it before providing access its services but does not require any specific registration properties (apart from what is mandated by the WSRP standard). It does, however, require consumers to be registered before sending them a full service description. This means that our WSRP producer will not provide the list of offered portlets and other capabilities to unregistered consumers. The producer also uses the default
RegistrationPolicy paired with the default
RegistrationPropertyValidator. We will look into property validators in greater detail later in Section 15.8.3, "Registration configuration". Suffice to say for now that this allows users to customize how Portal's WSRP Producer decides whether a given registration property is valid or not.
JBoss Portal 2.6.3 introduces a web interface to configure the producer's behavior. You can access it by clicking on the "Producer Configuration" tab of the "WSRP" page of the "admin" portal. Here's what you should see with the default configuration:
As would be expected, you can specify whether or not the producer will send the full service description to unregistered consumers, and, if it requires registration, which
RegistrationPolicy to use (and, if needed, which
RegistrationPropertyValidator), along with required registration property description for which consumers must provide acceptable values to successfully register.

I strongly suggest you read this article: http://gameprogrammi.../singleton.html Singletons have a lot of attractive features at first glance, but they're really a bad idea in the long run.
I do understand the difference between a plain global and the singleton pattern, but functionally they serve the same purpose of providing global access to the same variable anywhere in your program. Additionally, my engine is designed so I could have multiple instances of it running in the same program. Using a singleton for the engine would prevent me from doing this.
As far as malicious use goes (although I'm not sure why that would ever be a concern), your singleton example above is just as susceptible:delete Engine::get();
To each his own. Let's not go any further off topic.
protected: friend void Game::EndGame(); ~Engine();
now only Game::EndGame() can call delete on singleton. applies to "get" and any other functions too.

The Refuge for DMST in partnership with Protect The P.A.T.H.
Text "bthe1" to 41444 to donate to The Refuge via your phone.
Our community has only recently begun to recognize that we have a severe societal problem in regards to the commercial sexual exploitation of children, also known as domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST). The needs of trafficked children are extensive and complex. Thus, a coordinated, multidisciplinary community response is critical when serving child survivors of sex trafficking and why The Refuge and Protect The Path have partnered together to more effectively respond to this issue.
Protect The P.A.T.H. (People Against Trafficking Humans) seeks to bring awareness, prevention, rescue assistance and restoration to this global epidemic evil that reaches into neighborhoods and communities all around the world, especially here in America. Seeking to partner with like-minded organizations providing rescue and restoration, Protect The P.A.T.H. has joined forces with The Refuge in order to work together to bring prevention efforts to our community. However, we already have so many exploited children identified and in need of comprehensive care. That's why The Refuge is developing The Refuge Ranch, a long-term, residential, therapeutic ranch for girls, ages 11-17, who have been rescued out of sex trafficking. Located on 50 acres in a beautiful and restorative setting outside of Austin, TX, The Refuge Ranch will provide trauma-informed, holistic care for the girls on-site, including: a University of Texas Charter School program, medical care and various therapeutic programs uniquely designed for the development of a child survivor. Slated to open in the Winter of 2016, The Refuge Ranch will be one of the only live-in rehabilitation facilities for child survivors of sex trafficking in the United States.
