If a helicopter falls in the forest…Posted by Steve Layton in Composers, Contemporary Classical Music, Performance
[Note: Philip Fried is a composer mentioned before on S21; I've known him forever as a long-time commenter over at NewMusicBox, and as composer-in-residence for Minnesota's Opera Bob. Phil had a bit of a brain-worm spinning around in his head, and asked if he could share this thought over here at our forum.]
Bear with me. Stockhausen created an opera, part of which requires an instrumental performance in moving helicopters. I saw this on video. John Cage creates a work where the player doesn't 'play' in the traditional musical sense, but turns a page in time. (It would be easy to say that this is simply a theater piece for a musician to perform, Mr. Cage was a theater composer after all.) Recent European music plays a lot with timbral similarity and disparity. In the vocal realm an opera can have editorial that can't be perceived from hearing the work. Sound artists create works that are site specific.
These works have a similarity; in effect they are creating new instruments. That is, the instruments are not playing music so much as the "music" creates a singular and unique instrument. Sometimes it's a disposable, one-performance-only work. Other times it's features are reusable. The laptop is not the instrument itself, rather it is part of a larger exploration of time, space, and event. A part of many.
A performance in a moving helicopter implies that the moving space itself is part of a site specific instrument. Is the video a useful recreation or not?
Naturally all musical ensembles and performing abilities — chamber music, grand opera, solo piano, recital — have their particular time and place to perform. Then where and in what context might beginners, advanced, students and professionals in these different styles perform? Strictly speaking these rules are no longer the case. The space can become part of the work.
An orchestra has long been considered an instrument with many performers; so too are bands and many other instrumental configurations. The creation of "super instruments" — that is, joining several similar or different acoustic/electric instruments into a single formation or unit that act as one instrument (that is mostly rhythmic or gestural unison) — is quite popular especially in Europe, combining an instrument with a voice or voices, or electronics as a single formation. Or the melody, the obbligato, and the accompaniment act as one multifarious singularity. All kinds of composers and sound artists are creating sounds and music that explore and develop these new solo and multi-player instruments.
It seems to me that post-modernism is focused on music that creates new instruments, rather than in modernism which used instruments to create new music. If that makes any sense… Thoughts?

PRISM Tailors SMS Program to Smaller Operators
ARGUS International subsidiary Professional Resources in System Management (PRISM) has released an update to its safety management system (SMS) offerings for helicopter operators. The packaging and pricing changes are designed to help small operators with one or two aircraft to establish a functional SMS program. Chris Young, vice president of helicopter aviation services, explains that the affordable pricing structure will allow small operators who may find it "more challenging" to implement an SMS program the ability to take advantage of PRISM tools such as its Aviation Risk Management Online Resource (ARMOR).

Electron beam melting (EBM) of powderѕ used in lаyers to sequentіаlly build up high-precision complex parts fеatures been restriсted by its proсesѕing speed. Researchers аre oрtіmising the syѕtem for large-scale production. Additive manufacturing (AM), іn whіch a раrt is built up layеr by layer from а computеr-aided design filе, has a nυmbеr of benefits comрared to standard shaping techniques. Αmong thеm arе production of a component near tο final type, minimising post-processing energy consumption and time as wеll аs materіal wаste. The main benеfit is the abіlіty to crеate complex geometries with large precision. EBΜ ΑM quickly creates componentѕ in a pоwder bed in a vacuum box by melting sequential levels of powder with an electron beam. Іt is presently faster than аny other strategiеs of compаrablе quality but is too ѕluggish for mass manufacturing. This iѕsue will be fixed with a novel high-power electron beam gυn and assocіated prоcesѕ contrоl technology. The systеm will employ a very little beam diametеr and time-multiрlexing to allow multіple melt spоts over different areas of the рowder sleep. Despite smаll beam ѕizе, thе technоlοgy wіll accommodatе manufacturе of high-precision big cοmponents throυgh low-aberratіon deflection coіls that dеflect the beam over largе arеas. Key tο project ѕuccess is mоdelling and ѕimulation of the рowder sleep аnd bеam–рοwder interactiοns for procedυre optimіzation.
3D mοdels optimised durіng the first task рeriod have actuallу significantlу adνаnced the systеm dеsigns. Resеarchers selected a novel elеctron beam gun tуpe that іs preѕently being mаnufactured. A new dеflection сoil was crеated to enable а highеr angle of dеflectіοn while minіmiѕing aberrаtion or distortion. Ηardware was selectеd to integrаte with beam pοsitіonіng оptiсs to optіmіѕе beam intensity, and the drive еlectronic devicеs had bеen designed.

Is anyone familiar with milling tencha to create matcha?
I see that Samovar has a pricey mill on their site; I've also seen manual mills/griders by Kyocera on e-bay.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
zeto wrote:I personally don't feel there is a comparison to be had between simply grinding your tea for instant infusion and complete consumption versus 'a lot of trouble' to roast it and steeping under hot water (which may not be available)
AdamMY wrote:I am not sure how many of us have ever tried grinding out own tencha to produce matcha. The idea personally does not appeal to me. For one very few places actually sell Tencha. Even then I am not sure that the Tencha that makes it to market is of similar quality to produce good matcha. (If it would create great matcha what is it doing being sold as tencha?)

An organizing situation I've been asked to help with, more than once in the past few years is how to make living spaces share-able. When several generations of families are living in the same home, sharing spaces gets a little tricky. It's very difficult for the younger generation to "take over" their parent's homes and make them their own, not to mention bringing all of their stuff with them back to an already full house. Sometimes sharing a living room doesn't provide enough privacy to read a book or do your paperwork. Not everyone has enough room for a private office.
My client's mother passed away over 10 years ago and she and her family moved back to the family home to help care for her aging father. Her bedroom became "The room that everything gets thrown into and the door pulled closed when anyone is coming to visit" with a big "DO NOT ENTER" sign on the door. Yes, that room! She asked us to make this room into a usable space once again. The job of changing mom's room into a functional "family" space was very challenging for her; not only physically, but also emotionally.

Topic: 404 / "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."
Hi everyone,
I'm new to RoR and newer to Fedora Core 6. I've used rails in Windows before but I've been looking for a better environment to run things in, and I decided to put up a simple FC6 server at home with RoR.
For the most part, I've been following this tutorial:
http://legacy.not404.com/cgi-bin/trac.f RailsOnFC6
It seems like the best and most descriptive one out there for FC6. But yup, you guessed it, I'm still running into problems.
I've gotten to the point where everything seems to be working fine with the index.html from the public folder showing when I point the browser to the web app, but, when I try to navigate to a controller or a function, I get "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."
How do I find out what's wrong? I've tried to redo the tutorial a few times but to no avail.
Thank you for you support.

Accurately clamping angled workpieces such as corner-cabinet face frames can be downright frustrating. But Club member Charles Southward of Adrian, Michigan, ended his gluing headaches by designing these clamping jigs. Cut from 3/4-in. plywood, the 45-degree-angle jigs fit the face frame of the workpiece exactly, then extend 3/4 of the way up the long side of the case glue-up. Charles places a jig at every biscuit location, positions the sections to be glued and tightens the clamps. The result is a perfectly aligned face frame and a clean, strong glue joint.

Peavy said he will now throw a bullpen session before Sunday's game. That's likely to push back his White Sox debut to probably next weekend against Kansas City. Sunday's bullpen session will be treated like a simulated game.

PMQ would have been a better choice as suggested, but I am done for now.
Some basics that we use: All Trumps 50143 unbleached, unbromated flour, Fresh yeast, sea salt, filtered water. 24-48 hour cold rise. The rest is secret.
Too often Americans take a good idea and get carried away with it, as in taking it too literally...Like Pasta Al Dente. No Italian would eat the American version of pasta cooked al dente,,,to them it is undercooked. To me it is raw flour
We make fresh pasta and cook it to order. It is never dried. Occasionally we get somebody asking, or complaining, for their pasta to be al dente. Fresh pasta cannot be al dente because it has never been dried. It is done when the flour is cooked, like all pasta, even the dried kind.
Why so many Americans have developed a taste for undercooked flour is beyond me.
And another thing. This thread is about CONVERTING A WOOD OVEN TO GAS......COMMERCIAL. Not any of the crap you backyard WFO purists are talking about. Not a deck oven, Not achieving perfect Neapolitan at 850, but converting a Commercial oven from wood to gas. PERIOD
You guys have done nothing but bitch and moan because I made gas work for me, and it might work for someone else. If you are not interested in a gas conversion why are you reading this thread other than to just flame me?
Could we see some more pictures of the cute waitr... er pizza?
Ha! Nice try Brian...maybe they could add a new section to the site, eh? Bob

Randy Wells Designated For Assignment, Cubs Recall Dolis
Figured this would happen after the latest debacle, the Cubs have designated Randy Wells for assignment. In turn they have called up Rafael Dolis, hopefully Dolis has his location issues ironed out, if he does it could be another plus arm in the pen. I doubt we will ever see Randy Wells in a Cubs uniform again.
Thanks for reading,

Westfield Mayor recognizes assistance during recent fire
WESTFIELD – Westfield Mayor Dave Carr publicly thanked those involved with responding and assisting with a Jan. 5 house fire during the Board of Trustees' monthly meeting.
"Concerning the fire at 19 Cottage Street, I would like to personally thank Crosby Mart, Westfield Family Physicians and Dave Gross of Vine City for offering coffee to our responders and for the use of electricity during the emergency. It's people like them that help in an emergency and assist during what turned out to be a nasty morning in the village," stated Mayor Carr.
The mayor also read aloud two letters that he drafted in thanks to an emergent response to the fire.
To Police Patrolman James Muscato, the mayor acknowledged "you saved the lives of the residents by entering the residence without the use of fire protection gear and demonstrated your dedication to village residents of Westfield."
To fire department member Herb Johnson, Mayor Carr credited him with "assisting Patrolman Muscato in saving the lives of the occupants of the building without the use of fire equipment."
"Both men did an outstanding job. Firefighters have safety equipment when they respond. These men went through a window, pulled one resident out to safety and guided others out of the building safely. We certainly appreciate these people in our village," added Carr.
Building & Code Enforcement Officer Jim Pacanowski formally requested the board to declare the structure unsafe due to its present condition adding that a certified letter would be sent to the owner notifying them of the condemned status and subsequent demolition at the board's allowance.
He reported to the board of trustees that at least one qualified architect has inspected the building and deemed it unsafe and beyond repair, and that in order for a rebuild to take place, a complete engineer's report would need to be provided spelling out what would be done to the structure.
The board granted permission for Pacanowski to send the correspondence and formally declared the building condemned and unsafe.
In other matters, the board resolved to approve the use of Ottoway Park on July 14 for the Annual Ox Roast, as well as the use of Moore Park for the annual Arts & Crafts Festival to be held July 26 & 27.
The board will meet again on Monday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. in the North Room of Eason Hall. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Skip to comments.Boston bombings: Sikh community in US concerned over backlash
Posted on 04/19/2013 9:49:05 PM PDT by Jyotishi
Washington - Sikh Americans expressed concern over the possible backlash against the community in the aftermath of the twin bomb blasts in Boston marathon early this week.
Having a bitter experience after 9/11 and a target of hate crime, Sikh leaders urged the community to be careful and vigilant against any violence directed against them.
"In the past, any terrorist action which resulted in American lives, have led to negative impact and violence on the Sikhs who are often targeted due to their conspicuous appearance," said Dr Rajwant Singh, chairman of the Sikh Council on Religion and Education.
"Many Sikh places of worship have been vandalised and attacked in the aftermath of 9/11 and we fear that the Boston tragedy might trigger another wave of reaction against members of the Sikh community," Singh said.
"The Sikh community joins Americans of all backgrounds in expressing our profound condolences and sympathies to the people of Boston, and the participants of the Boston Marathon, after the horrific and tragic bomb attacks that killed and injured so many people," he said.
The Boston bombing, he said, has shocked the Sikh community which is still recovering from the attack at the Wisconsin Sikh Temple a few months ago.
"We feel the pain and suffering of the victims in Boston," Singh added.
"We are requesting everyone, Sikhs and Non-Sikhs, to come together and hold vigilance to show our resolve and solidarity with those killed and injured," said Inderpal Singh Gadh, chairman of Guru Gobind Singh Foundation, a Sikh center in Rockville.
Sikh leaders said this is a time for the community to pull together.
"We are asking all members of the Sikh community to be vigilant. We are urging all Sikh Gurdwaras (temples) to review their security procedures and to be in contact with their local police departments, possibly to request additional patrols," he said.
Meanwhile, many mosques all over the US held special prayers services for the victims of the Boston terrorist bombings. The prayer services were held in congregation during the early yesterday afternoon Sabbath services.
"American Muslim leadership must break this cycle of terrorism, demonisation and more terrorism. Islamophobic media bashing and school bullying is making the Muslim students depressed and angry and a few can resort to violence," said Dr Shaik Ubaid, the New York Co-chair of Muslim Peace coalition USA.
"American foreign policy of waging unjustified war is also a major contributing factor. The Muslim leadership must put in place programs to teach American youth peaceful ways of showing dissent," he said.
>>The point is that you would think the Sikhs would be more concerned with radical Muslims than Americans.
In general, they are.
No, lefties don't get to make false claims and propaganda like this lefty writer, and no, telling Americans that much of their nation is off limits to them, is unacceptable.
How many Sikh attacks based on their religion are there, hundreds, thousands?
I've known some folk who call themselves "Christian" while participating in robbery, rape and murder.
It's like the old question...if you call a dog's tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?
You identify a Christian by their fruits. How do your fruits measure against Galatians 5:2-26?
There's a lot of smiting and smoting going on over there.
I would imagine so.
>>Are they Christians? America was founded upon Christian ethics, morals and values
No Sikhs allowed, right? And what about the Jews? And Mormons, or are Mormons okay with you because many people feel they are not Christians? Send them back to, exactly where?
How about Catholics? Do they qualify? I mean, all that Pope stuff - you okay with that?
we Sikh not you or your people.
The other Sick FK's however....
"And thats where youre wrong. Its one of those things if youve got to ask youll never get it."
What you really mean is if I ask you are too stupid to explain it.
Or, they could stay home. Why are they compelled to invade the US?
That reminds me of the Blazing Saddles scene where the towns folk say they'll accept two certain ethnic groups (described in racist terms) but they would not accept the Irish.
Amen to that!
You must have interesting friends to be able to know enough self proclaimed Christians doing that stuff, as to make it significantly large a number as to be relevant.
rednecks like me or Muslims and Hindus?
I have nothing against Sikhs or Hindus cept most are Democrats and a bit different manners wise...folkways and mores they used to call it....some seem to act like their former Brit overlords a bit much
not many are assimilated really
they seem to just pocket up..and stay distinct
maybe high bred Hindus mix in more...their kids anyhow
I saw a pretty Indian girl tonight near Vandy smooching it up with a gringo boy...sadly a hipster looking prog...but she was pretty good looking...too pretty for his Prius driving ass
in all fairness to Hindus and Muzzies...Sikhs kill them too in quite the fashion when it suits them...just ask Indira Ghandi ...at some point..lol
Don't leave out Moslems, and Scientologists and Voodoo, and Buddhism.
ouch...that had to hurt our resident Parashurama
Several come for DOT physicals. It is somewhat surprising when I have them lift up their shirts to listen to their chest that they always have their dagger tucked neatly into their belt.
It is one of the 5 "K"s. That they carry a dagger to defend against injustice, like if they see someone being robbed, they are to use it to scare off the attacker. Not to be used in offense.
really...how many personally?
I'm southern baptist...55 years old...have known not one soul who professed to be a devout Christian in my entire life who raped, murdered and robbed.
Did bad things..a few..cheated on spouses...most common sin....lied..another...bore false witness..yep
But acted like a savage...none
You must live in a very bad neighborhood.
"I have many Sikh patients."
I hope you are prepared to read a few jokes about that line.
This IS FR, after all.
Are the Sikhs still fighting over whether or not to sit on chairs?
9/11 was 12 years ago. They need to get over it. I'm sure just about every group out there has had a "hate crime" perpetrated against it at least once during the last 12 years.
You stated...."No sane person would willingly choose that cult." (Islam)
That comment alone says volumes....
You're greatly mistaken.... many people "choose" Islam and with certainty apart from being "born into it"....and that Worldwide as well as in this country.... Why do you think they have recruitment centers throughout the world?
I would highly recommend you educate yourself about Islam....as "anyone" with even a rudimentary understanding of Islam understands there are numerous people who "convert" to Islam.
I would highly recommend you educate yourself about Islam....as anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of Islam understands there are numerous people who convert to Islam.
The operative word is "sane".
That and the threat of death has supplied the converts to Satan's plague called Islam.
Sikh's in this country generally have money and are professionals. Also they pretty much mind their own business.
Sanity has nothing to do with those who convert to Islam...though those who are are not exempt.
People 'choose'...that's the bottom line...the same as all other choices one makes in life. Sane and otherwise.
And where should the American-born Sikhs go?
American-born Sikhs aren't Americans?
Bigoted Christians make me ashamed of them.
>> Dont leave out Moslems, and Scientologists and Voodoo, and Buddhism.
Not so sure about Voodoo/witches/Wicann (or whatever they are called) myself! but you are right, of course, and we both forgot Hindus, which is not the same religion as Sikh.
>>Bigoted Christians make me ashamed of them.
The response to his comment has been very gratifying.
Does the country they were born in not need people? This country does not have to be at "standing room only" condition!
This country is largely prosperous because it has surplus resources "per capita". Import more people to acquire more terrorism, crime, welfare cases? Why?
>> Better yet. Go down to one of those Muslim neighborhoods in Dearborn Michigan and wear a t-shirt with a cross in front a see if you come out in one piece.
Sounds like fun. If I didn't have responsibilities, I might play along....
Need to get over 9/11/2001? FU!
I have not got over 12/7/1941 yet, and I was not born until 1946!.
>> Bigoted Christians make me ashamed of them.
It's not necessarily about bigotry, but generalizations.
If bigotry is a concern, then let's not discount the US Citizens of Muslim faith that respect the Constitution and want the promise of America... despite my opinion that Islam is a war plan.
Evangelize Christianity.
I'd rather be around real Sikhs than phony Christians.
>> Need to get over 9/11/2001? FU!
Sharpen your tacks.
Ask TJ.
Me too.
And the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting was a few months ago.
They both tend to wear turbans and are brown people. That is all some morons need to lump them in together (see below).
Once again I hope ALL moose limbs are nervous about this. Including the chief mooseie turd win the white house.
LOL! So you still hate the Japs then, eh?
Um. Ok. Do I really need to do a search for crimes targeting Christians?
You must have interesting friends to be able to know enough self proclaimed Christians doing that stuff, as to make it significantly large a number as to be relevant.
I grew up in an urban bastion of liberal glory. The people I refered to weren't friends. Occasionally, one or more would make the news and their mother or grandmother would talk about how they were such good boys. On Sunday, you'd see these young fellows in a coat and tie on their way to a "Rev Wright, Social Justice" type of Church.
Of course, they called themselves Christian...
I grew up in a very bad neighborhood. It was also a very liberal neighborhood. I'm sorry, I'm repeating myself.
That said, we should also keep the muslms in prayer. No sane person would willingly choose that cult. You are borne into it, and it takes great courage and wisdom to leave it.
Former moslems have the coolist conversion stories. Esp those who became Christians while in the middle east.
Heck, you could walk in the worst neighborhood in South Chicago with a Sikh by your side and come out, not only unharmed, but a neighborhood cleaned up of some criminals.

Research Summary
Clinical neurobiology of stress, emotion and relaxation, stress coping and regulation, emotion dysregulation, effects of stress and emotion dysregulation on desire for reward, dysfunctional motivation and addictive behaviors, such as, alcohol use, smoking, high calorie food intake, drug abuse, sex, gambling and emerging technology. Mechanisms underlying sex differences in stress neurobiology, and interaction with motivational processes and effects on health outcomes is integral to this research area. The neurobiology of relaxation and its effect on resilience and chronic stress and emotion dysregulation is also being studied. An additional interest is in developing treatments to target stress-related relapse in addictive behaviors. We've developed and validated a laboratory and neuroimaging model of stress-induced and hedonic cue-induced craving and engagement in addictive behaviors. The laboratory model characterizes the compulsive craving state and is being applied to test new pharmacological and psychological interventions to reduce craving and maladaptive behaviors. Individual difference variables such as gender, genetics, early trauma, chronic stress, prefrontal cognitive functioning that may modulate responses to stress and urges are also being studied.

World Healing Day
To the editor:
The one sign of the holiday season I look for every year, and the one which moves me most, is the global peace message on the hill overlooking the lake.
Then in 2010, I attended a World Healing Day event at 4 a.m. on Dec. 31 in Bellevue, Wash., and found a way that I could bring something home to add that hillside call for world peace.
In 1986, more than 500 million people gathered around the globe to share in a one-hour time of prayer and meditation for world healing and peace. More than 500 spiritual and peace-related groups from seven continents, 70 countries and every state in the USA participated.
It is encouraging to note that the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has reported "remarkable progress toward a potentially more peaceful world. There was a clean break in the pattern of a constant increase in the number of major conflicts with which the world had grown accustomed."
The Planetary Commission is expanding and gathering strength each year as a greater awareness of the event spreads around the world. A Saranac Lake group joined this effort last year and met again on Monday, Dec. 31 at 7 a.m. in the John Black Room at 89 Church St.
After all the gift giving and merrymaking of the holiday season, joining together in an hour of contemplation for the healing of our planet and an usher in a new era of peace on Earth is a special way to begin anew.

Tuesdays With Rita: Family Stories
4 comments:
I love your curiousity, wonder, and questioning. Hardly ever see a smile in old photos but I've decided it was because they had to sit perfectly still for so long for the picture to be taken.ReplyDelete
I love hearing your stories and especially the Kansas connection. I bet if we followed the six degrees of separation theory that your relatives and mine knew each other--my sister is our family geneologist--she could tell you all the names--like reciting the "begats" in the Bible!!ReplyDelete
Since you asked us to look at the photo (what a great prompt) I did - I looked at them closely. How interesting that Mattie was looking directly into the camera, while John and Dottie were looking at the photographer off to the side. She knew exactly what she was there for and wasn't being distracted by his presence. Very focused lady.ReplyDelete
Getting a photo was a serious business. Their faces are so smooth though - and solemn. I am working on the genealogy of my family. My mother died last Nov and suddenly we can't just say "ask Mom." So the entire clan all the way out to cousins on both sides are bringing in stories and pictures not shared before and figuring out dates and places by group think. It is very interesting and fun. Thanks for the prompt.ReplyDelete

A Radical Sermon – "Gentle" (Matthew 5:5)
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we need to continue our reserve as we approach this verse, because that which is common is also often misunderstood. I do not claim any kind of clairvoyance here, so the warning is as much for me as for anyone.
Growing up with the King James Version the way I came to memorize this verse is "Blessed are the meek." Now, meekness is certainly not a trait that is honored or even talked about very much, so I never really knew what "meekness" was. All I ever heard was what it was not – most expositors said it definitely was NOT weakness, but when you are a little boy, if it does not involve getting dirty or scuffing your shoes or maybe even getting a bruise or two, the definition of any word fell into the category of weakness. Even when I would preach on this verse and would share the same warning, "now this word does not mean weakness," my words just sounded hollow. It is kind of hard to define something by explaining what it is not, but I never really could get around the term "meek." Maybe it's because it just sounds so close to "weak."
That is where the value of other translations comes in. Some translations try to improve on the word by using "humble," but humility is hardly an improvement. In our vernacular humility is still considered a very close relative to the idea of weakness. Biblically I do not believe that is the case, but the art of translation is to make things understandable in today's common speech, not the speech of two millennia ago.
Two fairly recent translations have hit upon a nice equivalent – one that communicates what I believe to be the meaning of the word. The Holman Christian Standard Bible and the God's Word translation both use the word "gentle." Now, gentleness does run the risk of being considered weakness, but I do believe most people are familiar with the sight of a big, huge, burly, biker type dude cuddling a little baby, or a little kitten or puppy, or performing some other act of kindness or gentleness. It is momentarily incongruent – and that is precisely the image that I believe Jesus wants us to create in our mind. Gentleness is not much of a character trait if you have no ability to be anything other than gentle. Gentleness only reveals a strength of character if we have the ability and the willingness to be anything other than gentle – meaning vicious, mean, cruel, overpowering. So, when we see the aforementioned big, burly, unkempt biker dude bending over a little kitten we may initially think he is stomping it or something. But when we realize he is lifting it out of a precarious position to return it to its mother we understand the depth of his compassion, and therefore understand he is acting gently.
So, the first step in understanding this passage means that we must understand Jesus is blessing those who have both the capacity and the willingness to use the powers of cruelty and power, but who choose to subjugate those inclinations and to act gently. Simple you say. Not so fast, Jesus would respond.
Acting gently is perhaps one of my greatest difficulties. Now if you saw me you would immediately recognize that I am not anywhere close in physical stature to the big, burly, he-man biker dude that I described above. I feel in the depths of my heart that I was supposed to be 6'5″ and weigh 220 pounds and be the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings. However, my genes somehow got confused. I'm more like 5'6″ and the only way that I could tip the scales at 220 is to have about 70 or 80 pounds of rocks in a backpack while I stood on the scales. On the other hand, somehow or another I developed a deep love for the English language and a propensity for both sarcasm and teasing. That allows me to get myself into a lot of trouble, much of it deserved but even a considerable amount that is undeserved. My point here is that "gentleness" is not just a matter of restraining physical strength. It is also a matter of restraining the tongue, the bitter gossip, the witty comeback, as well as the self-righteous rolling of the eyes, the haughty turn of the head, the snobbish snort. "Gentle" encompasses all of our being, not just our ability to overpower or destroy something physically.
The second point that I would like to make in regard to this verse is that Jesus is not making this teaching up out of thin air. This phase is virtually a quote from Psalm 37:11, but can also be taken as a commentary on the entirety of Psalm 37. (As you read the psalm pay attention to v. 7, 9, 22, 29, 34). But, in addition, consider also Psalm 25:13, Proverbs 1:33 and 2:21, and because Isaiah figures so prominently in Matthew, see also Isaiah 57:13 and 60:21. These Old Testament references should give us a clue that what Jesus is teaching here has been the will of God for all of his relationship with man, that the coming of Jesus is a fulfillment of his eternal will and not a brand new "religion" that some consider Christianity to be.
It should go without saying that the life of Jesus exemplifies this beatitude most completely, as his life exemplifies all of the beatitudes. He, among all people, had the ability to be utterly ruthless and cruel. He had the power to use his incomprehensible power. But, in the words of Isaiah once again, "a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice." (Isa. 42:3)
One more brief comment, and that is on the blessing – what does it mean to "inherit the earth?" I think for far too long we have focused on the "earth" part and did not consider the "inherit" part, and I believe from the Old Testament passages noted above, the emphasis should be on the "inheritance." The gentle will receive that which is promised to them. They will receive that which is rightfully and legally theirs. They will receive what sons (and daughters) are bound to receive, and that is what the parents bequeath to them. Simply speaking, the "earth" was the biggest physical thing that the ancients could conceivably bequeath. "Earth" here stands for "everything, all, the totality of existence." It is at this point that I also like Eugene Peterson's paraphrase of the beatitude (although I am not too crazy about the way he interprets the term "meek" or "gentle") – "You're blessed when you're content with just who you are – no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought."
You cannot buy an inheritance. You cannot obtain a gift in any other way than to simply receive it – to accept it. That is the way the gentle people of the way of discipleship will receive the entire world – by simple and loving acceptance of the blessing that Jesus bestows, both now and in the future.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Seeks Comments on Draft Sport Hunting Plan and Environmental Assessment for Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge
February 26, 2007
A draft Sport Hunting Plan and Environmental Assessment for Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Madison and Tensas Parishes is available for a 30-day public review beginning February 16, 2007. The comment period will end March 16, 2007.
The plan describes two alternatives for hunting on the refuge: (1) the no action alternative would continue the hunting program that is currently in place and (2) the proposed action would open an additional 11,000 acres of hunting on the refuge. Under the proposed action, hunting of deer, rabbits, squirrels, coyote, beaver, and migratory birds such as waterfowl, woodcock and snipe would occur on the additional acreage. Hunting would be carried out in accordance with Federal and State of Louisiana regulations and refuge-specific regulations.
Copies of the plan can be requested from the refuge and copies are available for review at the following libraries:
Written comments, requests for the plan, or questions can be directed to Stan Howarter, Wildlife Biologist, at 2312 Quebec Road, Tallulah LA 71282; (318) 574-2664. Email comments can be provided to the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge is currently 71,000 acres and is located in Madison and Tensas Parishes of Louisiana. Hunting opportunities are available, along with fishing, wildlife observation, photography, and environmental education.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 94 million-acre National Wildlife Refuge System which encompasses more than 542 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management areas. It also operates 70 national fish hatcheries, 64 fishery resource offices and 78 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.

Skip to comments.America's police state: The drones are coming

Congress OKs Production For Thousands Of Surveillance Drones That Threaten Civilian Privacy
It'll be a big day when the first drone strike on American citizens on American soil ends up happening. They'll probably try it against some meth lab or something most people would agree is "deserving". That way the lefties and moderates will say it was a good thing we have a president who "defends" us.
Brave new world.
Podcast: Law Enforcement Anxious for UASs
Sadly, it seems this cannot be used as a campaign issue since Congress apparently initiated the issue.
I wonder if they would take a couple of us Freepers.
Every day it is feeling more and more likes "It's Over"...
It's only bad to the left and MSM if a president with an R does something like this
AHA! So that's what Stalin was relating to FDR and Churchill at Yalta!
AHA! So that's what Stalin was relating to FDR and Churchill at Yalta!
Yeah their willing to use them on American citizens but they won't send them to the Mexican border to keep the illegals out.
I'm sure the elites in both parties (i.e., 90% of Congress) supports this wholeheartedly.
"We the People" are the biggest threat they see.
Put cameras on these:
I wish they would stop citing Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, because the truth of the matter is that by 1984, we were already to the level of surveillance and government intrusion found in that book.
And it hasn't gotten better since. In fact, it is now a hundred times worse.
So think of the sequel, call it "Twenty-twelve", as a new benchmark for obsessive and futile government *and* private voyeuristic surveillance, dossiers, databases and data mining.
It is oppressive and evil. You betcha. But probably the worst part about it is that when government is unwilling or unable to do its job—the big stuff—it spends vast amounts of time and labor fussing with petty and stupid data accumulation.
Government officials always tell themselves that, by doing this, it will "make their job easier", and accomplish some nebulous and positive goal. The truth is that it just clutters society with stupid and useless data, at great cost, while the big stuff is ignored. Nothing good ever comes from it.
So why is America $14T in debt? Simple, because government *truly cares* about your toilet paper consumption on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. They *truly care* about the names some old cat lady has given her 23 cats.
Because if they didn't fuss with nonsense like that, the public would demand that they do something about important things, and that is the last thing they care about.
Maybe they'll be able to "take out" illegal footballs and frisbees being used on California beaches. Eat your peas!
Or these:
This next one is kinda creepy.
And in a group
Imagine what could be done with these things. Ponder it for a moment.
Drone aircraft are patrolling U.S. Cities
May good for a little skeet shooting. What I don't like is red light cameras. Because running a light is all I ever do wrong.
Drone to monitor Ava's gas consumption ping!
"-—whether a drone is operating under its own programming or being remotely piloted by a human, they are open to receive control commands. The possibility of drones being hacked is very real, and some claim that the recent capture of an RQ-170 spy drone in Iran was accomplished through such hijacking techniques. Whether or not thats the case, UAVs are clearly susceptible to inflight theft in ways that manned vehicles simply are not."
My local community many years ago decided it needed helicopters because helicopters for the police were the latest police fad. After several years of considerable expense they decided that they accomplished nothing except catch petty crime and disposed of them. The humor in this will be the police videos of them using their new drone toy to follow a drunk staggering down the road, or the videos of the rooftop angle of the outside of a house some idiot has locked himself in with a gun. I can see the headlines now, "Truant Schoolboy Caught Lying Under Tree!". The television news will treat these with great gravity and the Internet will be filled with humorous videos, it will be a cosmic farce at the expense of the taxpayer. The intrusion upon and erosion of our freedoms has happened while everybody wasn't looking this is just another thing on the pile. I think if anybody has looked at the satellite image of their house on Google, been caught by a traffic camera or found out about people on their computer the loss of privacy and freedom becomes apparent.
Quinn signs Emanuel speed cameras bill into law
Gov. Pat Quinn
Gov. Pat Quinn (Heather Charles/ Chicago Tribune)
February 06, 2012|By Monique Garcia | Clout Street
Gov. Pat Quinn signed a measure into law today that allows Mayor Rahm Emanuel to start using red light cameras to fine speeding drivers as much as $100 for violations.
"I think that you've got to understand that if you save even one life, you are saving the whole world," Quinn said at a morning event at a Chicago school. "I mean, what do you say to a parent that's been there from the day their son or daughter was born, and they're killed by a speeding motorist next to their school, or their park?"
It's long past high time to set up a good 4th Amendment case to deal with aerial surveillance by local government.
Congress Demands Drones Over America
States News Service Source: States News Service
Created: February 10, 2012
The following information was released by the Center for Democracy & Technology:
by Harley Geiger
February 9, 2012
Congress is demanding drones in the air over the United States - without considering the civil liberties issues. Within the span of three days last week, the House and then the Senate passed a law - H.R. 658 - requiring the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to speed up, within 90 days, its current licensing process for government use of drones domestically and to open the national airspace to drone aircraft for commercial and private use by October 2015. While the law requires the FAA to develop guidance on drone safety, the law says absolutely nothing about the privacy or transparency implications of filling the sky with flying robots.
Read at:
They may come but find many people aren't home anymore.
You can bet your ass that local jurisdictions will be outfitting these things with radar, and mailing out speeding tickets!
Lets give a shout out to all the good republicrats who voted this POS bill through the House.
Got a theory...More like an observation...
You get these "mini" drones,hovering all about looking, peeking about, and you'd think that some people like us who value their privacy could just git yer shotgun or riffle and take these particular intruders out and the problem would be gone...
Well, I got to thinkun'...If they have these flitting about, they are closer to you than you'd think...A shopping mall parking lot, or other open area secured for this purpose to launch and recover these devices...
So, if you manage to take one out (which seems to be an underlying thought for some people) who's to say they are even watching "you", and you just shot one down...Oops...Now the heat is on you if they manage to ID you as the shooter...
Not that I am trying to throw a bucket of ice water on any of this...But it seems it is too late if you are even minding your own business, that you happen to notice one of these things, that it might not be you they are surveiling, or maybe it is...At this point they are close and probably ready to bounce on you in a moments notice or excuse...
Which brings me to another subject...
How do you spoof these things???
- overpasses
- covered parking garages
- tunnels
- carry a pre-paid cell phone, and call only a number no one else would know about for just such an occasion...
Some people would say that is illegal or somewhat dubious, and IF you have nothing to hide, no one should mind being under such surveillance...
Well, my response is this...
You certainly may or should not be doing anything illegal, and you certainly may or should not have anything to hide...
But you damn sure have everything to protect, and that IS your right to protect your privacy (with any means at your disposal, and personal comfort level), even though you may be in a public place or forum...Where this may, or may not be deployed for their use...
Just putting a twist in the discussion...
Crafted by the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Group, co-chaired by former DHS chief Michael Chertoff and composed of a whos who of national security figures, the report outlines a total mission creep, as the title Homeland Security and Intelligence: Next Steps in Evolving the Mission implies.
Significantly, it puts on paper and into the Congressional record a proposed transition from outwardly dealing with the threats posed by terrorism towards intelligence gathering focused on more specific homeward-focused areas. That is, the homegrown, domestic threats weve heard so much about from Big Sis already.
In short, it confirms the intentions of key insiders including former NSA/CIA head Michael Hayden, former Rep. Jane Harmon, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, 9/11 Commissioners Philip Zelikow and Richard Ben-Viniste, former National Security Advisor Samuel Berger and others to flesh out a plan we have already seen developing from an outside perspective namely, to build a domestic Stasi-like force to takeover, monitor and control the population.
I wonder if they would take a couple of us Freepers.
Every day it is feeling more and more likes "It's Over"...
Remember when their liberal government rammed through their own gun ban law? Large bore PVC pipe disappeared from DIY stores nation wide. Australia has it's share of liberal zealots more than willing to supervise your life for you...
James O'Keefe needs some drones to keep an eye on Congressmen and their trips to their drug dealers and mistresses.
Ha, Ava has a cloaking device that makes it look like a Prius to all drones......
Votes are here:
House Vote on Conference Report: H.R. 658: FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act
Vote Details by representative:
Won't work, Doppler shift radars measure the "vector" speed of a target as it approaches the radar gun. The angle between the path of the vehicle and the axis of the radar beam, "Θ", is near zero when the target vehicle is at maximum range and the radar gun is at the same altitude as the target. The indicated speed is the actual speed multiplied by cosine (Θ), so at the point where the target is approaching nearly head on you get an actual reading close to correct. As the target approaches and passes the radar the reading falls to zero and then goes negative (Cosine (Θ) = 1 at 0°, goes to 0 at 90°, and -1 at 180°). The radar is measuring the component of target velocity relative to the radar beam. When the angle is near 90° the target is not approaching the radar (it's moving sideways) and the result is a zero reading. As the target passes it is moving away from the radar and the indicated speed goes negative as it should.
When you move the radar to a drone, you have to factor in the operational altitude as well as the speed and direction of the drone as it effects the vector solution. Far from holding a hand held radar gun at the same altitude as the target, a moving platform measuring relative velocity to a ground target also moving requires knowing exactly where the drone is (GPS??) in three dimensional space, a vector track of the target (not Doppler) allowing the calculation of a solution vector of the actual target velocity in three dimensional space. That means; more elaborate radar, GPS linkage, hardwired computational support, and a lock-on targeting laser (everything except the "mini gun").
"...because the truth of the matter is that by 1984, we were already to the level of surveillance and government intrusion found in that book."
Hmm, in 1984 you had government surveillance devices in every room of your home that could be monitoring you at any time, 24 hours a day? Color me incredulous.
How high do these thing fly and can they be shot down with a deer rifle?
"Some people would say that is illegal or somewhat dubious, and IF you have nothing to hide, no one should mind being under such surveillance..."
Problem is, everyone is doing something illegal. There are so many laws on the books, the average person commits 3 felonies a day. So that argument is out the window; we already ARE enemies of the state, not by our choice, but by the choice of the legislators.
They easily had that technology, just used it more judiciously, requiring warrants easily obtained. And once in position, it was unlawful to interfere with such devices, if you discovered them. Public places and businesses did adopt much camera security during that time.
At that time, if you made more than four long distance phone calls a month, one of them would have been monitored by the NSA.
The popularity of the Internet was a major setback to such monitoring, then public domain encryption.
The successful conclusion of the (cold) war with Eastasia also caused much chaos in the surveillance networks.
So it has not been a straight line progression. But things really picked up after Reagan.
Maybe you could also dub in the 30-06 that will be used to neutralize said piece of unmanned flying krap if I catch it violating my 500 foot rule? I wonder what the charge might be for shooting down somebody's intrusive, unlicensed, unmanned, un-warranted, flying mousetrap?
Sorry, but the ability to put in wiretaps or cameras with a warrant, even if it's too easy to get, is not equivalent to ubiquitous, warrantless, constant monitoring of every domicile. Businesses and public spaces are irrelevant, since that is not governmental intrusion.
As for the NSA, I believe what you are referring to is international calls, not long distance calls. At least, I've never seen a single reference to the NSA monitoring domestic long distance calls (legitimately at least), prior to the 9/11 era.
Sure, there has been a progression, but we are not even today at the level of monitoring that happened in 1984. Britain is closer, but even they are far from it.
"How do you spoof these things???"
If we get everyone in America to carry the same make, size, and color umbrella every time they leave the house, it's sure to screw around with them royally.
What Congressmen actually voted for this and who got the kickbacks from the manufacturers? They want their toys and their toys will take your liberty. Both Parties are in this.
1984 is here and gone. It is becoming more and more not about us as a nation of one, but instead about we the suspects and they who consider us as such.
They know your politics because of your on-line posts. They know your "friends" and family if you belong to Facebook. They know your bank account. If those in charge don't like your politics or that may not be good news.
