Vegas - LA (Tuesday) Day #17
Today we find ourselves taking on the 2nd and final land transfer of our massive trip. We really enjoyed the 1st class train journey from Washington to New York; it was a great way to see country we wouldn't have normally seen whilst in the air. So we were hoping that today's 4 hour luxury coach trip from Vegas to LA would provide us with the same …

Ventured out on the bike to the Smoke Wagon Saloon - it was just me and April the bartender to start with. Then I met a a nice couple, Lisa & Felix.
Felix has a DJ/Karaoke business and lives in San Diego - commutes to Victorville regularly for work.
I decided to look at old Victorville in the morning so I visited a wine bar and sampled a Cab Sav and a Shiraz over a trio of cheeses plate. ...

Once I recognized that God was using these things to make me aware of my thirst and need for Him I began to re-arrange them. God needed to be my primary source of love and refreshment instead of community. Things began to shift.

The big freeze triggered record demand for London crash pads, bringing a welcome New Year boost to the capital's property market.
© Jeremy Selwyn
"We've been inundated," says Sandy Chatterjee of Canary Wharf estate agent Franklyn James. "Stranded commuters fed up with it all want to rent immediately, while they look to buy.
London employees have the longest average commute - 43 minutes - in Europe, says the RAC. A study by the Mayor's office reveals that more than 770,000 people (about 23 per cent of London's workforce) commute into the capital daily. Ten per cent of commuters travel for more than two hours a day.
Property built in the buy-to-let boom and aimed at busy professionals is for sale in the credit crunch, often priced 20 per cent down on three years ago.
"People are splitting their funds between a city flat and a house in the suburbs or the country," says Andrew Palmer of property consultants DTZ. "It's not just the snow: congested trains, rising fares, delays and cancellations have all taken their toll."
Studio apartments in travel zone one cost from about £250,000. Rents start at £200 a week. Estate agency Young London offers new apartments to rent at The Landmark, only 500 metres from the Canary Wharf trading rooms. Prices are from £300 a week. Call 020 7593 3300, or visit www.younglondon.co.uk. This new website www.london.gov.uk/rents shows average rents by London area.

T. Wayne Davis: No quick-fix solution to child abuse
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 26, 2013 at 3:16 p.m.
We all know it; leading the Department of Children and Families is a difficult and thankless job. The front-line jobs in the state's child welfare system are even tougher.
The learning curve is steep, every lesson is hard, and failure, as we are tragically reminded, is far too painful and costly.
In the wake of recent tragedies, everyone is searching for answers, trying to figure out what went wrong. From county sheriffs and local and community-based care providers to religious and community leaders, everyone wants to, and should, do whatever is necessary to prevent the loss of another vulnerable child.
Getting all of these partners to work together toward this worthy goal isn't easy, but it is essential. Time and again we see that protecting vulnerable children is too big of a job for one person, or even one agency. We all have a part to play in solving this problem that is impacting our state; a philosophy that newly appointed DCF Interim Secretary Esther Jacobo has already embraced.
Complex social problems like child abuse involve multiple interrelated risk factors that sometimes develop over generations of family dysfunction, generally rooted in poverty and lack of education. There is no simple, quick-fix solution to these issues and drastic over corrections in our policies and practices following tragedies have historically made matters even worse.
While it is true that more must be done to recruit, train, supervise and retain qualified front-line staff responsible for responding to allegations of abuse, we will never achieve sustainable change in child protection services without a significant increase in prevention efforts that strengthen vulnerable families before abuse ever begins.
Strengthening parenting skills and improving family stability, sometimes even before the baby arrives, is paramount to eliminating many of the situations we have read so glaringly about over the past few months. Most at-risk expectant and new parents realize they need help, but help isn't always available before tragedy strikes.
Ensuring children are safe and nurtured at home, while stemming the tide of kids coming into state care, has been the work of Healthy Families Florida since its legislative inception in 1998. Administered by the private, nonprofit Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida through a network of local providers, Healthy Families is the state's preeminent child abuse prevention program. A rigorous independent evaluation revealed that Healthy Families is an effective prevention measure. Healthy Families is proven to prevent abuse and neglect in 98 percent of the children in high-risk families served. Recent analysis shows that 95 percent of children served also remained free from abuse and neglect three years following program services.
For the past 15 years, the Department of Children and Families has been an able and supportive partner. Thanks to an additional $3 million legislative allocation this year, the blessing of Gov. Rick Scott, and the support of local partners, Healthy Families reach has been extended to serve additional families in parts or all of 58 of Florida's 67 counties, which is a big step in the right direction.
Bringing these proven prevention services to scale, so every at-risk family has access to the help they need, will require additional investment; but it is still far less costly than failure.
Healthy Families saves taxpayers millions of dollars in child welfare and other services needed to deal with the consequences of abuse, and even more importantly, it saves lives. Other changes to the child welfare system may certainly help to prevent more tragic deaths, but we know Healthy Families is a proven and effective up-front prevention program that helps lead us toward that important goal.
T. Wayne Davis is Florida board chair of the Ounce of Prevention Fund.

Brother Robert
Brother Robert was a cleric working in Norway who adapted several French literary works into Old Norse during the reign of King Haakon IV of Norway (1217–1263).[1] The most important of these, Tristrams saga ok Ísöndar, based on Thomas of Britain's Tristan, is notable as the only example of Thomas' "courtly branch" of the Tristan and Iseult legend that has survived in its entirety.[1] It was the earliest Scandinavian version of the story, and is thought to be the first Norwegian adaptation of an Old French work. Its success may have inspired the spate of translations during King Haakon's reign.[2]
Robert's nationality is unknown, but his name and other circumstantial evidence suggests he was Anglo-Norman.[1] As such he may have been connected to the Cistercian monasteries of Lyse Abbey or Hovedøya Abbey, which maintained close ties with England.[1] Robert's name is connected to one other work with assurance, Elis saga, an adaptation of the chanson de geste Elie de St. Gille, where he is called "Abbot."[1] Four other anonymous works largely on Arthurian subjects have been attributed to him; these are Ívens saga and Parcevals saga, based on Chrétien de Troyes' romances Yvain, the Knight of the Lion and Perceval, the Story of the Grail; Möttuls saga, a version of the poem Le Mantel Mautaillié; and a collection of lais based on the Lais of Marie de France called Strengleikar.[1] Robert's translations at Haakon's commission speak to the king's role in spreading French and Arthurian material throughout Scandinavia. The wide influence of Tristrams saga ok Ísöndar is especially apparent in Iceland, where it served as the basis for the ballad "Tristrams kvæði" and the prose adaptation Saga af Tristram ok ĺsodd.[1]

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The Syrian government is willing to suspend its aerial bombardment and artillery shelling of the northern city of Aleppo so that a local ceasefire can be tested, the United Nations mediator on Syria said Tuesday.
Aleppo is at the forefront of clashes between pro-government forces and a range of insurgents, including extremist brigades, Al-Nusra Front, and Western-backed units.
The Syrian army, backed by militia, has captured several villages near Aleppo in battles aimed at encircling the city and cutting off insurgent supply lines, a monitoring group said.
UN mediator Staffan de Mistura said opposition forces would be asked to suspend mortar and rocket fire.
"The government of Syria has indicated to me its willingness to halt all aerial bombing and artillery shelling for a period of six weeks all over the city of Aleppo from a date which we will be announcing from Damascus," de Mistura told reporters after briefing the UN Security Council.
He said he would travel to Syria as soon as possible.
"I have no illusions because, based on past experiences, this will be a difficult mission to be achieved," de Mistura said. "Facts on the ground will prove if the freeze holds and can be replicated elsewhere."
"The Assad regime's compliance with any such proposal will be judged by actions, not words," said the coalition's special representative to the United Nations, Najib Ghadbian.
"And thus far, his actions have been only brutality and terror."
De Mistura, who has been working on his plan to negotiate "local freezes" that would start with Aleppo, told the Security Council he had a long meeting with President Bashar al-Assad during a recent visit to Syria, diplomats said.
"Every time there is a proposal of a ceasefire history has proven that there is some type of acceleration in order to take a better position," de Mistura said. "I fear that could be the case."

For one day in 1985, live music became larger than life. Bob Geldof and Midge Ure created 'Live Aid', The dual-venue concert in Wembley Stadium, London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine.
Tons of great artists went on both stages: The mighty Queen with an unforgettable performance, Sting, Elvis Costello, Nik Kershaw, Phil Collins, U2, Dire Straits, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Black Sabbath, Run DMC, The Beach Boys, Pretenders, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and many more.
But this is the time to remember the incredible performance of one Mr. David Bowie, the man that rocked about 2 billion people around the world with his performance. It was Bowie's first performance since the end of the Serious Moonlight tour over a year and a half earlier. He followed the fantastic 'Queen' performance at London's Wembley Stadium, and he made the world dance.
With his amazing band, Bowie played 'TVC15', 'Rebel Rebel', 'Modern Love' and 'Heroes'. It was a moment that changed the music world, and the David Bowie was victorious. Take the time and watch the entire performance today. We miss you, David.

Second Chances
The pain. The fire. The death. It never ceases, no matter whether or not I can feel them. They still existed inside me.
Raven. That's the only name he goes by. He's too beautiful to be human, and everyone knows he has a secret. But what is it?
Thick and creamy, blood erupted from my punctured neck, warm and crimson; flowing freely down my neck, slithering to form a pool of liquid on my shoulder. I groaned in pain, knowing that I couldn't scream, yet I tried desperately. I looked up at the devilish yet beautiful face of the feral woman that was doing this to me.
I remember, though faintly, I still remember two glowing eyes boring into me. Two red eyes. At the time, I had no idea as to my surroundings, or what was going on. All I could see was her; her tousled black hair that flicked out in different directions, framing her impeccable face with a black star-like shape. Her skin was pale; almost paper-white. It looked like instead of slitting her skin, you'd crack it, though somehow, her skin looked so soft and beautiful. Her cheekbones were high and they framed the rest of her beautiful features; her crimson eyes, with a background of black, smokey shadows that faded into her white skin. Her eyelashes were thick and long, and they cast long, looming shadows over her skin.
When she smiled, I didn't notice her elongated, sharp canines, or the blood splattered around the red, plump lips. I could only focus on the beauty that was so obvious to my eyes. Everything else wasdark and lifeless to me. I realised that I felt nothing but love for this woman. I didn't even recall meeting her; I remembered nothing of that day until...her.
When her face disappeared, pain replaced it. It coursed through my veins; sparking them into the fire that I felt engulfing my body. Electricity flew through me, though I couldn't feel or acknowledge it over the flames that seemed to be licking at every inch of me.
I imagined this pain was Hell. I wasn't religious, which is why I guessed I went to Hell, but sadly, this pain was probably worse. I was burning, but I never died, and it didn't stop. It just kept getting worse. I was trying to force out a scream, but all that came out were loud grunts of pain. Nothing was going to help this.
The pain seemed to continue for years and years, but when it stopped, I had gotten used to it, but I was blissful that the pain had ceased. I was dead. I knew I was dead, because nothing could be as beautiful and lovely as this painless feeling. It felt like sleeping. My eyelids were too heavy to lift up, so I just lay there, smiling happily, waiting to be judged or whatever happened after the release.
I didn't care if Hell was what was waiting for me, as long as the pain had taken a break, even if only for a short while.

Firing my bowMature
"Shoot" Capricorn shouts. I realise the string and the arrow shoot forward. The arrow misses the target by miles and a someone walking by squeals. Its a group of Light Reapers here for a study visit.
"Sorry!" I yell. The group look at me gasp then begin to mutter among themselves. I moan then turn to Capricorn. "Was everyone at the arena?"
Capricorn smiles. "Probably, Saggitarius" He says. I pout and glare at him once again.
"I told you to call me Ellie" I say annoyed.
"Sorry, Saggitarius. You have to get use to your new name. I think everyone apart from Sable will start calling you that" Capricorn tells me.
I moan and turn back to the target. I pull back the string the arrow appearing magically. Then I fire at the target. It hits the edge. I yell out in glee and punch the air. Then I turn on Capricorn.
"You promised if I hit it today you would allow Sable up" I say hands on hips and looking straight at him.
Capricorn sighs. "Fine I will go and find him but you must stay here" he says. I pout but turn and head for the building. The Zodiac shrine is whats its called. I find it very funny.
I go to the Zodiac chamber where the podium's stand and go to mine. I kneel before it like I was taught and close my eyes.

Raymond Joseph Fierro, 39, could be eligible for parole in 15 years. I Ie was convicted of a first-degree felony count of knowingly causing serious bodily injury to the boy and two third-degree felony counts of causing injury to the boy with a leather belt. Jury foreman Rex Malatek said the verdict came fast because of the strength of the case presented by the district attorney's office. "The DA put the pieces of the puzzle together," Malatek said. "I learned a lot this week. We're fortunate we have this district attorney's office representing us." Malatek said the punishment went toward the high range of the scale — Fierro faced up to 99 years — because of the nature of the injuries he inflicted on the boy — including a genital injury that required surgery to repair. "A lot of it came as a result of how long this child will suffer from this and the damage to his soul," Malatek said. "We talked about that a lot." The photos of the boy 's injuries carried a lot of weight, the juror said. "I doubt FII ever see anything like this again for the rest of my life," Malatek said. "It was unbelievable. I couldn't fathom this. If someone said, Think of die goriest thing you can imagine,' I'd have never come up with this." From its beginning on the night of Jan. 12,2004, investiga tors described the case as the worst case of child abuse ever reported in Comal County. Michelle May, 41, Fierro's former girlfriend, pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony counts of injuring her son in June and was sentenced to three years in prison. She is out on parole, but has lost her parental rights. The See GUILTY, Page 2A Raymond Fierro Wommack, Krueger raise equal sums By Scott Mahon Staff Writer Travis Wommack and Kathleen Knieger, who are opposing each other for the District 5 city council seat, are running neck and neck in campaign contributions. For the period Jan. 25 through March 29, Wommack reported $3,030 in total campaign contributions, and $1,461 in expenses. Wommack had $1,030 in contributions of less than $50 of and only one contribution in excess of $50 from the Greater New Braunfels Home Builders Association in the amount of $2,000. Krueger reported $3,598 in total contributions for the same period and splent $2,500. Krueger's contributions of less than $50 amounted to I $1,348. Her top contribution See COUNCIL Page 3A Bigger and better Folkfest, an annual hosted by the Heritage Socie New Braunfels, returns with events and activities Valentine pays back city for homestead violation By Scott Mahon Staff Writer New Braunfels District 6 City Councilman Ken Valentine has come under attack for claiming homestead exemptions in 2002 in both I louston and New Braunfels. Valentine conlinned Friday that he did have the dual exetnptkins during 2002, which is a violation of state law, but he recently paid New Braunfels back taxes for the time that both houses were exempt. Valentine, who retired in July 1999 from a 32-year career with Shell Oil in Houston, moved to New Braunfels in August 1999. "We built our house in New Braunfels in 1985 because we intended to retire in New Braunfels," See PAYS, Page 3A Ken Valentine By Leigh Jones Staff Writer Hilario Torres looked tired and sad'Friday as he slowly made his way to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic church. Torres had stayed up until 6:30 a.m. watching the funeral for Pope John Paul II, broadcast live from Rome. "The church has lost something valuable," he said. "Ciod bless him." Dorothy Moose also was sitting in front of her television during the early morning hours. "I actually met the pope once, so this means very much to me," she said, with tears in her eyes. "I'm glad to see such an outpouring of love from all over the world." At noon, the church's bell began to toll solemnly, and 75 people came to their knees to remember their pope. "This pope did so much for ail faiths," said Nick Dellinger. "He was a great man who touched everyone." Judith Wuensch, who is not even Catholic, came to the memorial mass to pay her respects. "I Ie did bring more than a breath of fresh air to the church," she said. At the front of the church, amidst two-week-old Easter lilies, Pastor Eugene Ronan stood next to a painting of the pope and delivered his homily- "We should give thanks to Ciod for this gift to our church and pray that God welcomes him into the kingdom," Ronan said. "We also pray for our cardinals who will gather next week to elect his successor." See REMEMBER, Page 3A Kennady: Highway funding scenarios won t work By Ron Maloney Staff Writer A Comal County Commissioner went toe-to-toe Thursday with the official who oversees the Texas Department of Transportation, telling him the state's new highway funding scenarios wont work in Comal County. "Let me tell you what I'm mad about," Precinct 4 Commissioner Jan Kennady told Ric Williamson, chairman of the Texas Transportation Committee. "You're telling our constituents they could have to pay twice for new roads." Kennedy's remarks came at the conclusion of a panel discussion of the new highway funding scenarios — Regional Mobility Authorities and pass-through financing — held Friday at the New Braunfels Civic Center as part of die 39th annual Texas Legislative Conference. During the hour-long discussion, panelists Williamson, Mike Krusee, chairman of the House Transportation Committee, and Michael Stevens, chairman of the transportation panel of the Governor's Business Council, said Texas faces a $35 billion funding shortfall for roads in the next 30 years. RMAs, they argued, provide a mechanism through which highway projects can be built more quickly — and produce income after they pay for themselves that could help hind other projects. For example, building an additional lane on Interstate 35 between Austin and San Antonio took 20 years. An $11 billion project in Williamson and Travis counties would Like five years under the new funding options. Comal County looked at the Regional Mobility Authority model in 2004 and See HIGHWAY, Page 8A A SAD GOODBYE Father Eugene Ronan celebrates a memorial mass for Pope John Paul ll at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church Friday.

Someone With The Name "Valve Administrator"
Was playing the other night 2/13/16 and joined a random No Mercy game a person going by the name "Valve Administrator" was currently in the game and i noticed right away we was doing stuff in game that i hadnt seen by other hackers.. I dont know if this was necessarly a hacker or a real official from Valve but this person didnt do anything to the other people who had joined after me like they do onto others like cast them in fire and freeze them. But this guy was flying in section of the map that are off limits to others, setting up barricades, fences, handing out weapons that are not seen in normal game play and they were not the german guns that ive seen before. spawning multiple tanks. spawning Cola bottles and many extra items all at once. Keep in mind this was LFD1 maps on the LFD2 disc. He also made voice commands from some characters that i had not heard before.
He could not be seen at all on the friends roster 360 desktop and he actually removed a fourth bot completely from the game he was hosting so only three people could be in the game. Ive seem some of this stuff on the computer side but How can anyone do that on the 360 side ?
Now my question is the game has been lacking any attention from Valve to fix the past problems the game has so why do all these other things exsist that could be apart of the game not be added ? And instead we only see hackers placing these elements in the game and using them to troll others. Well, id like to use those undiscovered weapons and be able to created all this stuff on Xbox 360. If they can do it why cant we ?

New Shelby American products will be presented this January at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. John Luft, the President of Shelby America and the business partner of the deceased Carroll Shelby, is working to ensure that The Shelby American name and its legacy will carry on. Luft said that he promised to Shelby that he will "keep Shelby American alive."
When interviewed by Autoweek, Luft said that aside from the Detroit Auto Show, the new products will also be seen this February at the Chicago Auto Show and this March at the New York Auto Show. But then, He didn't provide details of what these models will be.
Luft added that he and the company's officials are now the face of Shelby American. He also said that they're using Shelby's playbook, which will be their guide for the next 50 years. Luft also mentioned the possibility of a tie-up with Ford's EcoBoost brand and its turbo engines. What this brand is specifically remains unknown.

Paint: white paneling
Horizontal paneling adds great architectural dimension and we're lucky to have it already installed in the kids play room BUT it was painted red:
And too much red is not a good thing.
There's red paint all over this house - the exterior is classic barn red and we love it:
But the red family room, which is above the play room, will be painted including the railings and handrail:
And the bazillion reddish kitchen cabinets will also be painted:
Back down in the play room the white is fresh, clean and makes the space look twice as big:
Covering up all the red only took 4 coats of paint, no complaints because I love the results:
And people please don't paint your outlets!
In this case I can understand, the previous owners had cream outlets and painted them red so I had all the outlets changed to white:
The white paint really highlights the black door hardware and you still get a bit of red coming from the painted windows:
I started painting the stair risers but I have yet to tackle the vertical paneling going upstairs:
Here's how to paint over red paint:
1. Start by sanding everything:
2. Cut in with primer. There's lots of debate about whether to use grey or white primer, I choose white, Benjamin Moore high hiding all purpose primer:
White primer is great when trying to cover red, it will highlight all the nicks and nail holes you forgot to spackle and most importantly it will reveal any left over carpet glue:
3. Use a blade scraper to remove the old carpet glue:
4. Use a 2" angled brush to cut in with the primer into all the crevices and tight corners:
5. Then go over the large areas with a 6" foam roller:
6. After two coats of primer we're ready for paint:
7. Repeat the same process, cutting in and rolling with two coats of Benjamin Moore semi gloss white:
And the red paint is completely covered:

Last week and this morning the results of two major international exams came out: the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Program in International Student Assessment (PISA), respectively. Together, they offer a mixed bag of overall mediocre news for the United States.
On TIMSS—an exam that tends to use "traditional" questions such as directly multiplying two numbers—American students saw 4th grade math scores dip a bit between 2011 and 2015, 8th grade math scores rise a statistically significant amount, and 4th and 8th grade science scores rise slightly. We also placed pretty high compared to other countries, though we finished behind Kazakhstan on all tests. On the whole, that's decent news (Kazakhstan notwithstanding).
PISA would probably be best characterized the opposite way: bad news. Scores on the exam—which is more focused on solving "real world" problems, akin to multi-step word problems, and is only for 15-year-olds—were all down. Science, math, and reading, as you can see below, all dropped. And our placement among other participating countries? Well below average for advanced countries in math, slightly above in science and reading.
Taking PISA and TIMSS together, the news isn't great, especially considering that we spend more on K-12 education than almost any other country in the world.

Discrete Vortex Method
Guys i need a code which uses discrete vortex method(DVM) to calculate lift,drag etc.
Also can u guys tell me how to incorporate thickness effects into DVM?..
as DVM has panels along camberline so thickness has nothing to do with it..
PLZ!!.. urgent.. :(
Guys plz somebody help.... Discrete vortex method code plz....
There are some open/free softwares out there. Check these two:
http://www.pdas.com/contents15.html (look for Panair - A502)
These codes go under the general umbrella of panel methods, which use doublets/vortex-rings for the lift and sources for the thickness. Refer to Katz-Plotkin:Low Speed Aerodynamics for more details.
Never used both of them, however Panair is quite advanced and might not be the first choice if you are looking for something simple. Actually, if you are looking for something more didactic, i can suggest:
but it seems that when the course is not active also the material is not available (like now).

Bug report #66 has just been filed. You can view the report at the following URL: <http://znutar.cortexity.com:8888/BugRatViewer/ShowReport/66> REPORT #66 Details. Project: Jasper Category: Bug Report SubCategory: New Bug Report Class: swbug State: received Priority: high Severity: serious Confidence: public Environment: Release: 3.1 ??? JVM Release: 1.1.8 Operating System: Solaris OS Release: Son OS 5.6 Platform: Sun Synopsis: Get Unable to compile class for JSPerror: Can't read: JasperException compiling SECOND jsp page Description: Hello, I am not sure if this is a bug or a problem with my configuration. I can only produce this problem on our Production sun servers. It does not happen on our Win NT testing servers. The problem is, that I get the following exception when compiling the SECOND JSP page after starting tomcat. When I start tomcat, it will successfully compile 1 page. But, then it will not compile any more pages. The only workaround that I have found is to stop tomcat & restart it, access/compile a single page, then stop & restart again. After pushing a major release to our site, this is quite tedious & problemmatiec. Especially since I use numerous Context-Paths to point at the same JSP files. (That is my strategy for branding sites for different partners...) the error is Internal Servlet Error: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSPerror: Can't read: /home/customers/talisman/tomcat/work/www.talismanapplications.com_8080%2Fquios/_0002fmsgops_0002ejspmsgops_jsp_0.java 1 error at java.lang.Throwable.(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Exception.(Compiled Code) at javax.servlet.ServletException.(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.JasperException.(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.loadJSP(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.loadIfNecessary(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.service(Compiled Code) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Compiled Code) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code) Jasper is complaining that it cannot read the file. I can go to that directory under tomcat/work. I do see the file that the compiler is complaining about the permissions are 664, so read access to the file is not an issue. Also, the related work directory (based upon the context path) is 775 permissions. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

SEOUL – Organizers of the Seoul Motor Show have set an ambitious goal of making the event on par with other international auto shows within the next few years. Moon Hoh, president of the show's organizing committee and chairman of the Korea Auto Manufacturers Assn., says the event, which runs through April 15, soon could rank among what he calls the top five auto shows in the world after Frankfurt, Paris, Detroit and Tokyo. Although the goal may seem lofty, Moon says he is encouraged ...

By Steve Stebbing.
In her seven years on Saturday Night Live, Kristen Wiig has amassed a catalogue of pretty "out there" characters and in her new film Welcome To Me she gives life to another one that would have fit in quite well on the series but with a pretty subtle difference. Yes, this is a comedy and some of Wiig's character of Alice Krieg's antics are played for comedic reasons but under lyingly we can't ignore the fact that she has a mental illness and a pretty serious one as well.
The film begins by setting up Alice's life. She lives alone, earning her income from her monthly benefits cheque for her borderline personality disorder, which she spends on lottery tickets every day. She spends her days watching and re-watching episodes of Oprah that she has obsessively recorded on VHS tapes that occupy all the shelves of her house on a TV that se hasn't shut off in years. One night she ends up winning the Mega-Millions lottery worth a jackpot of $86 million dollars. She goes to her lottery press conference to get awarded her giant novelty cheque and is promptly cut off by the news station when her speech gets a bit too personal and maybe a bit blue.
This causes Alice to fly into a rage and quit her medication, against the pleading of her therapist, played by Tim Robbins. Needing more change, she decides to move into a casino hotel with the help of her best friend Gina (Linda Cardellini). After getting settled, the two decide to check out the taping of a local info-mercial of a vitamin supplement hosted by Gabe (Wes Bentley), who for some reason wears a safari outfit for the taping. Strange.
Alice ends up interrupting the telecast and hijacking the show to inform the audience of her problems and her new fortune and is cut off again, this time by the program director. The studio head, Gabe's brother Rich (James Marsden) is completely intrigued by Alice and calls her in for a meeting, which Alice uses as an opportunity to make an interesting request, her own show.
Alice wants Rich, Gabe and their crew to produce one hundred episodes of her show "Welcome To Me", which is not an interview show or a self help show at all, unlike her hero Oprah. Instead it's more of a stream of Alice's consciousness, whatever she is thinking or feeling at the time. Rich informs her that this show will cost millions of dollars, roughly between fifteen and eighteen. Without batting an eye, Alice cuts a cheque right there. The show is born.
The most interesting thing about this film is that the film-makers choose not to focus on the actual mental illness itself but on Alice, her proclivities, her self centered-ness in the face of her best friend and her therapist and her strange relationship between sex and acceptance. Wiig seems to pilot through these obstacles brilliantly, leading to a pretty tragic seeming final act.The downside of this is that with such a stellar performance from the lead, the rest of the cast just seems to float around, giving just above mediocre performances, maybe with the exception of Cardellini, who plays off Wiig's manic-ness very well. It might be due to the script being only based around Alice leaving little room for any other character development.
I think this will find an audience with the people who enjoyed Kristen Wiig's previous dramedy The Skeleton Twins, although it's not quite the calibre of that film. It definitely shows a range from the former SNLer who is very much trying to broaden the roles she's playing, but I don't think this is a far enough stretch to incite people to think there's been much change. Still a solid film that I give a three out of five.
Welcome To Me is currently playing at International Village.

First of all, to the anon "ME" who left me 18 reviews at once in an effort to push this story toward 1000, you are SO sweet. Thank you so much. You actually made me tear up a little bit. :') This first drabble was actually written after I had finished all the drabbles for this story, but a number of you wanted some farewell Fax, so I decided to oblige. This bonus drabble, which I imagine taking place in Nevermore, is dedicated to all of my reviewers, who have made me laugh and smile and tear up and feel ALL the feels over the years.
Enjoy It
We land effortlessly on the city sidewalk, catching the attention of passersby.
Kids always smile and wave excitedly whenever we appear. Some adults are still wary of us, but at least they don't freak out or call the police. Usually.
A lot has changed.
After an afternoon of flying, Fang is now pulling me by the hand toward a restaurant that apparently has killer bacon cheeseburgers and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. He knows the way to my heart.
He's into month number three of making things up to me, and as much as I hate to admit it, today is earning him major points.
I never thought things would end up this way, because I try to be a realist. Fang, however, is a closet optimist, so I really don't think he's all that surprised.
I don't know how long this will last—the safety of the flock, the lives of the flock…
But for now, especially since I know everything is temporary, I'm going to enjoy it.
We're going to enjoy it.
And finally, I give you the namesake drabble of the series, which I planned a long time ago. It is inspired by the song "Give a Little Bit," originally by Supertramp and covered by a number of musicians, my favorite version being by the Goo Goo Dolls. These drabbles were my way of giving a little bit of love to you all with every update.
Home is the place where we are together again.
Give a Little Bit
A little bit.
That's all he wanted.
And in the end, that's all he got.
An angel shoved into a demon's body.
All he wanted was a little bit of loyalty. A little bit of attention. A little bit of love.
Love disguised as hate lost its mask, and I was left with a broken little boy who would do anything for me. Who did everything for me.
I don't regret standing up for him, taking his side.
I only regret that there wasn't more time so that I could give him what he deserved: more than a little bit.
Now, I have two missions.
One: save the world.
Two: give a little bit of myself to the people around me, and then some, because that's what they deserve.
See, Ari? I haven't forgotten you this time.
I won't ever again. I promise.
You're right here with me, in all of my smiles, in the beat of my wings, in every punch to the gut I give.
Don't forget me either, okay, Ari?
I'm coming soon, and we'll fly together, for miles and miles until we reach the ends of heaven and back.
We're on our way back home.
Thank you all a million times over. Message me anytime, for a conversation, for a prayer, anything. I love you all, and God bless.

It's a safe bet that Rascal Flatts and Martina McBride prefer the CMA Awards to the Grammys. Rascal Flatts won six consecutive CMA awards as Vocal Group of the Year, but has yet to win a Grammy. McBride has been named Female Vocalist of the Year at the CMAs four times, which puts her in a tie with Reba McEntire for the most awards in the category in the show's history. She, too, has yet to win a Grammy.
George Strait and Diamond Rio also probably prefer the CMAs to the Grammys. Strait has been named Male Vocalist of the Year at the CMAs five times, which puts him in a tie with Vince Gill for the most wins in the category in the show's history. But he has yet to win a Grammy in the equivalent category—Best Male Country Vocal Performance (now Best Country Solo Performance). (He did win a Grammy for Best Country Album for 2008's Troubadour.)
Diamond Rio has won four CMA Awards for Vocal Group of the Year, but has yet to win a Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. (The group did win a Grammy for Best Southern, Country, Or Bluegrass Gospel Album for 2010's The Reason).
On the other hand, Anne Murray and Shania Twain may well prefer the Grammys to the CMAs. Murray has won three Grammys for Best Female Country Vocal Performance, but never won a CMA award for Female Vocalist of the Year. Twain has won two Grammys in that category, but has also been shut out in the CMA female vocalist category.
Alison Krauss & Union Station has also done better at the Grammys than at the CMAs. The ensemble has won for Best Country Duo/Group Performance three times, but has yet to be named Vocal Group of the Year at the CMAs.
Why do the results of the two shows differ to such a degree? People who vote for the CMAs are all country fans and followers. Any Grammy voter can vote in the country field, whether they're a country expert or not. (Grammy voters are asked to vote only in fields in which they're knowledgeable, but it's up to the voter to decide if they're qualified.)
That explains why some non-country artists have won Grammys in the country field over the years. Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge won two awards for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. (The duo placed three songs on Hot Country Songs in 1973-1974, but none climbed above #87.) The Pointer Sisters won one, for 1974's "Fairytale." (The song reached #37 on the country chart.)
The roster of Grammy winners for Best Female and Male Country Vocal Performance includes several crossover artists who are more pop than country. Among them: Linda Ronstadt (who won for 1975's "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)," Juice Newton (who won for 1982's "Break It To Me Gently," k.d. lang (who won for 1989's Absolute Torch And Twang) and Lyle Lovett (who won for 1989's Lyle Lovett And His Large Band).
Garth Brooks never won a CMA award for Male Vocalist of the Year. This probably reflects a view that his main strength is as a live performer (he was the first person to be voted Entertainer of the Year four times). But I'm mystified why Willie Nelson never won a CMA award for Male Vocalist of the Year. (He won three Grammys for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.) Nelson is one of the greatest male country vocalists of all time.
Of course, some artists have been big winners at both shows. Among them: Vince Gill, Ronnie Milsap, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Tammy Wynette, Dixie Chicks, The Judds, Alabama, Lady Antebellum, Dolly Parton, Mary Chapin Carpenter, George Jones and Randy Travis.
Three albums have won both the CMA award for Album of the Year and the Grammy for Best Country Album (the Grammy category was introduced in 1994): Dixie Chicks' Fly, George Strait's Troubadour and Taylor Swift's Fearless.
Strait has won the CMA award for Album of the Year five times, more than any other artist. He won for 1985's Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind, 1996's Blue Clear Sky, 1997's Carrying Your Love With Me, 2007's It Just Comes Natural and 2008's Troubadour. Ronnie Milsap won CMA's Album of the Year four times. Johnny Cash won it three times.
Dixie Chicks has won the Grammy for Best Country Album four times, more than any other artist. The trio won for 1998's Wide Open Spaces, 1999's Fly, 2002's Home and 2006's Taking The Long Way. Lady Antebellum and Roger Miller both won Best Country Album twice. (Miller won in 1964-1965, before the category was discontinued for nearly three decades.)
Eleven songs have won both Song of the Year at the CMAs and Best Country Song at the Grammys. Vince Gill wrote and recorded two of them: "I Still Believe In You" (which he co-wrote with John Jarvis) and "Go Rest High On That Mountain."
The other songs to pick up both awards (and the winning songwriters) are: Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors" (Kenny O'Dell), Crystal Gayle's "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" (Richard Leigh), Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" (Don Schlitz), Willie Nelson's "Always On My Mind" (Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher and Mark James), Randy Travis' "Forever And Ever, Amen" (Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz), Kathy Mattea's "Where've You Been" (Don Henry and Jon Vezner), Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance" (Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers), Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)" (Alan Jackson), and Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying" (Tim Nichols and Craig Wiseman).

I am a deaf parent of four hearing children, two now in adulthood. My husband (also deaf) and I realized parenting as deaf adults seemed more challenging than parenting in general. We had to modify many common parenting styles to fit our needs to provide the best for our children.
I hold an Associate of Arts degree in Speech Communication from Austin Community College in Austin, Texas and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. My interests are in public speaking, deaf awareness, deaf parents with hearing children, performing Christian music in sign language, sharing my testimony, and in jewelry production.
I work part-time for Texas Hands & Voices Guide By Your Side, a mentoring service for hearing parents with deaf children and for John Christian Jewelers/Carved Creations in jewelry production. I have taught Sunday School for Deaf adults, performed music in sign language at churches and concert events, and given workshops at national conferences, mainly focused on communication in the home.
Social Media is becoming an increasingly important connection between the deaf and hearing worlds and I am stepping up and taking advantage of the opportunity to learn and utilize all it offers.

Er, yeah. Hello again. *sigh* Yes, I know I have no excuse. Enjoy the update, either way :P
"Silence," Emberglow snapped. "Come. You'll be meditating, and I wish to join you."
Steph sat on her cot, frozen in shock. Eyes wide and mouth slightly open, her bruised skin stretched over knuckles tightly clenched around her wooden flute. Around her, Sandry sat on her chair with the same expression on her face as Steph. Briar tensed where he sat on the foot of her cot, and Kaye and Rose glanced up at their father, surprised.
"Didn't you hear me, girl? Meditation, now!" Lunging forwards, Emberglow grabbed one of Steph's arms and wrenched her off her cot. Crying out in pain, she stumbled to her feet before her knees buckled under her.
Sandry leapt to her feet at the same time as Briar; Kaye tumbled off her lap. Reaching out, Sandry grabbed Steph's arm in time to stop her from falling to the floor, and slung it over her shoulders, supporting most of Steph's weight.
"What do you think you're doing?" Tris demanded, glaring at Emberglow. Her fists were propped on her hips, her mouth set in a tight line. "Look at that girl in front of you. She almost died the other night, and you expect her to jump at your every whim right at this moment?" The redhead gestured at Steph. "She can't even stand, yet you expect her – a beginner, mind – to meditate?"
"Yes," Emberglow snapped. "She's my daughter, and she'll do as I request."
"She may be your daughter, but she's our student," growled Briar. "Our request counts for just as much as yours."
Briar and Emberglow glared at each other for a moment before Rose interrupted in her quiet, calm voice. "Why don't you let her decide?"
Briar looked thoughtful. Turning to Steph, he opened his mouth to speak before Emberglow cut across him. "Let her choose?" he asked, incredulous. "She's fourteen! She knows not what's good for her."
"Just because she's fourteen doesn't mean that she's a bleater!" Briar stood to lessen the difference between their heights. "If my sisters and I can get our credentials by that age – which I'm sure you already knew – then surely Steph can decide whether or not she wants to meditate."
Emberglow had nothing to say to that. Instead he whirled to face his eldest daughter, staring at her in tight-lipped silence. Rose spoke for him. "Well, how about it?"
Steph glanced guiltily at her teachers before meeting Emberglow's hard gaze. "I want to meditate," she said quietly before her eyes slid down again to rest on her lap. "I did want to before," she pointed out, guilt colouring her tone. "You wouldn't let me. My father will." Tugging on one of her long curls, Steph asked of the young mages, "I'll be fine, won't I?"
Tris sniffed, turned on her heel and left the room. Briar watched her leave then grinned at Steph. "Don't worry about Coppercurls. She just doesn't like not getting her way." Seeing that Steph still looked upset, he added, "She isn't mad at you. She's going up to make the protection circle."
Steph nodded, settling her gaze on her feet: bare and relatively clean of bruises compared to the rest of her skin. Sandry smiled at her. "Look on the bright side," she coaxed. "You'll get to play some music. You haven't done that in a few days."
Slightly cheered up, Steph raised her chin and smiled back at Sandry. "I suppose you're right. I miss music."
Sandry turned to look at her foster-brother as he slung Steph's free arm over his shoulders. "Should I fetch Daja?" she inquired.
Briar shrugged. "Ask if she wants to come. With Emberglow joining us, she might not want to miss the excitement," he suggested, grinning wickedly. Ignoring the face Sandry made at him, he teased Steph, "Come, old lady. Let's hobble on up to the roof."
Spreading her skirts around crossed legs, Steph looked sheepishly around at the people she sat in a circle with. She met Briar's grin, Daja's and Sandry's encouraging smiles and Rose's worried frown. Kaye also smiled at her; Tris looked annoyed but resigned. Emberglow's face showed no emotion, and Emilie was nowhere to be seen.
Fiddling with the flute in her hand, Steph looked at her lap nervously. "So… uh…"
"Go ahead," Sandry advised. "We'll count and mediate with you. It's alright."
Closing her eyes, Sandry and her foster-family fell into meditation. Glancing around once more, Steph shut her eyes and slipped into the familiar breathing pattern, clearing her mind of thoughts and concerns. Turned inward, Steph was able to see the bright pool of magic inside of herself. Sneaking a glance at her young teachers, she noticed that their magics looked smaller and tighter than hers, but burned far more intensely and betrayed none of the leaks that so constantly fought her grip.
"That's right," Daja murmured, as if she knew that Steph had been comparing the state of their magics. "Pull it in nice and tight, into the object you've imagined…"
An indignant sniff cut through Steph's concentration, causing her hold on her power to waver slightly. "Pull what in tight?" Emberglow demanded. "I hope you don't mean magic. It shouldn't be forced into an object."
Ignoring Emberglow, Briar countered, "Don't worry Steph; keep doing what you've been doing. You're making great progress."
"Magic should flourish and grow inside of you," Emberglow continued. "Not forced into an imaginary object. Are you Winding Circle mages so far south that the heat has made you addled?"
Resisting the urge to reply that Emelanese heat was nothing compared to that in the countries that lay beyond the Pebbled Sea, Steph followed the examples of her teachers by ignoring her father and proceeding to fold and prod her magic into the flute shape she had chosen weeks before.
"Stephanie, are you going to listen to your father or a couple of teenagers who think they know far more than they do? These Circle methods of learning will get you nowhere."
Patience wearing thin, Steph opened one eye to glare at her father. "If you need to ask that, you mustn't know me all that well."
Emberglow leaned forwards, matching Steph's scowl. "You'd better not be showing me disrespect, or I'll –"
"Or you'll what?" Tris's angry voice interrupted Emberglow's threat.
Emberglow stopped silent, apparently thinking hard, before forcing a very hard, very cold smile. "Alright, a suggestion then. She seems to be… adept at meditation now. Perhaps a demonstration of her abilities?"
Briar nodded at Steph. "What do you think? Are you ready?"
"You must be confident this time that your power is under control, even though we have a barrier," Sandry added. "Remember, there are people inside the barrier."
Steph ran nervous fingers over the body of her flute, glancing up at your teachers. "What do you think? I trust your judgement. If you say I'm ready, then I'm ready."
Briar sighed blissfully. "I hope all students are this easygoing."
Daja leaned over and smacked his knee. "Concentrate, Briar. This is no laughing matter." Briar just winked at his sister in response.
"Well, I think she's ready," Tris supplied. "Give it a shot, Steph."
Steph nodded. "Alright. What do you want me to do?"
"This lesson is a more instinctual one," Sandry instructed. "Play what comes to mind. Let your magic build up inside, and release it steadily through your music."
If Steph noticed Tris raising her eyebrows at Sandry who shrugged in return, she did not show it. Instead, she gathered enough strength to lift her flute to her lips.
Steph paused. Let the magic build up inside? The instruction seemed vague, but she was in no position to question her teachers and obeyed their instruction. To her surprise, Steph felt a feeling well up inside her, yearning to be let free through the high, sweet melody of Steph's flute. Sure of what to do now, Steph touched her lips to her flute again and released her magic as she blew down into the small pipe.
It was a soft tune which seemed to fill the enclosed area on top of the roof with a pale light. Beginning to get the hang of it, Steph widened the stream of magic she was releasing, still keeping it under control.
"Pah! What is this nonsense?"
The flute's tune cut off with an unpleasant, squeaky whistle and the soft light instantly dissipated. Disheartened by her father's disapproval, Steph frowned. "What?"
"Whistling a tune and making light? That's useless! You can't win battles with that! You need to know how to take the offensive! Magic is your tool, and you must treat it as such."
"Hold on now, sir," ordered Briar. "Magic is not a tool. It's a living, changing thing, that –"
"Magic is not alive! It is something that superior humans have the ability to use to their will. I won't have any of this wishy-washy Circle nonsense –"
Startled, the small company glanced at Sandry.
A smirk on his golden-brown face, Briar nudged Steph lightly and whispered, "Look, he's gone and made the Duchess go on her nobleness. This is a real treat to see when she's not using it on us."
Ignoring her brother, Sandry propped her fists on her hips. "Now, Jacob Emberglow, I've been patient with you for this entire meditation session but you've taken this too far. I'll not have you speak ill of the Circle temples, which have produced some of the finest mages in history. Your daughter has been given the choice between learning her magic in the flexible way that ambient magic demands, and learning it in a dull and structured manner that works so well for academic mages. She has chosen who she will listen to, and I'd appreciate it if you'd respect her decision and please stay silent."
Dumbfounded, Steph stared at the young noble. "Yep, a thing to behold, isn't it?" Briar cackled. "She makes telling a man to stick is neb somewhere else sound like a polite request."
Sandry's cornflower blue eyes turned soft again as she turned on Steph. "Continue, please. You were doing fantastically."
With a hesitant smile, Steph tried to regain that feeling of magic building up inside. However, her father had regained his voice and was muttering under his breath.
Steph began to play, but this time the tune was different. It was sharper; more staccato, and more dynamic. As her father's murmured insults grew loud enough to reach Steph's ears, the tune grew louder and sharper. Steph noticed that her father had suddenly stopped talking, but her anger and hurt fuelled her magic until the steady trickle of magic grew wider and wider until there was too much of a flood to control, yet on she played.
A sharp scream cut through Steph's concentration like a knife and she immediately dropped her flute as though it had burned. Kaye had screamed; glancing around the rooftop, Steph discovered why.
It seemed as though Emberglow had dashed across the rooftop and attempted to hurl himself off the lip of the roof. Briar and Daja had leapt up to grab him in time to save him from a multi-storey fall that would surely have killed him.
Scared out of her wits, Steph dropped to her knees, ignoring the pain from her still-healing bruises. She stared down at her flute, her eyes clouding over with tears. Picking it up in a shaking hand, she looked up at her teachers. Knowing the answer already, she asked, "Was that…did I do that?"
Tris nodded gravely. "It's not unusual. Your mood affects your magic, no matter how hard you try to control it. If this becomes a regular occurrence, then you'll need to learn how to control your temper as well as your magic."
The tears spilled over. "No, you won't need to teach me to control my magic. You don't need to teach me anything anymore. I don't want to learn magic!" Getting to her feet, Steph attempted to run back to the infirmary. She made it halfway down the stairs, out of sight of the others, before the weakness of her healing body and her most recent magical working struck her. She stumbled on the stairs and sat down hard, crying.
Briar glanced at his sisters. Without exchanging a word, he released his grip on the stark white, cursing Emberglow and followed Steph's path down the stairs to help her back to the infirmary.
Hearing Steph attempt to make her way back down into the house, Emilie faded away from the staircase, silently making her way back to her own quarters.
What she had seen on the rooftop interested her greatly. As rare as it was for Emilie to spend her time thinking of others, Steph was an exception. Mentally, Emilie flicked through the mages she knew who had a gift with music and sound. She knew she had a cousin with the gift for music who had taken his vows at a temple in Capchen, as well as a friend of the family who was paid to perform for the empress in Namorn. However, magic with music was not as common as magic with other crafts such as pottery or cooking. Emilie had limited choices.
If she remembered correctly, her second cousin's daughter had a talent for music as well… but no, she was only twelve years old and had no credentials to her name. She wouldn't do.
Remembering the speech Sandry had dealt Emberglow, Emilie decided that her Dedicate cousin would be the most appropriate choice. Either way, she could understand the sense of importance her friend must be feeling, performing for Empress Berenene, and would not want to take that away from her.
Her cousin was also a good choice in that he would be used to strange magics, having lived at a Circle temple for years. Creating lights and causing enemies to fling themselves off buildings? Yes, Steph's magic was certainly strange.
Emilie smiled to herself, intrigued with the possibilities of such a unique form of magic. Deep in thought, she had absently made her way into her chambers and sat down at her small, wooden desk, pulling paper and reed pens towards her as she did.
She had a letter to write.
