Australia quick Pattinson set for long wait on sidelines
(Reuters) – Australia bowling coach Craig McDermott has said he will not rush the return of injury-prone fast bowler James Pattinson and also raised questions about the cricketer's future in the Twenty20 format.
Since his impressive debut test three years ago, the 24-year-old has suffered recurring back problems and has been forced to miss a number of matches for Australia.
He returned to the test side for the decisive match in Australia's 2-1 win in South Africa after a gap of more than seven months but broke down again with a sore back.
Former Australia paceman McDermott, who has signed a new two-year deal as the team's bowling coach, said they have to be patient with the quick's return to top-level cricket.
"With Patto, it'll depend how he heals first and foremost," McDermott was quoted as saying on Cricket Australia's website. "That's got to improve from a clinical point of view before we get to the path we'll go down with his technical side of it.
"The timeline on that hasn't even been determined yet, so we'll just see how he progresses over the next few months. I want to make sure we take our time and get it right."
The talented Pattinson has played 13 tests, taking 51 wickets since making his debut against New Zealand in Brisbane in December, 2011.
According to McDermott, Twenty20 cricket is not the ideal format for Pattinson to work his way back to full fitness.
"T20 cricket is always difficult to bring blokes back through, because they're under the pump, bowling different balls all the time," said McDermott, who has been credited with turning Australia's pace attack into one of the most potent in the world.
"It's a yorker, then a slower-ball bouncer, then a good-length ball or a wide yorker. And if they're getting whacked by the batsmen they're not going to bowl at 80 percent and build things up gradually."
Experienced paceman Ryan Harris, who underwent knee surgery after Australia's series win in South Africa, is unlikely to be fit for the series against Pakistan in Dubai in October.
The 34-year-old has suffered a series of injuries throughout his career but played a key role in Australia's 5-0 Ashes sweep of England over the New Year and the series triumph against the top-ranked Proteas.
"He's definitely touch and go for Dubai, we've just got to see how his knee goes over the next few months," McDermott added.
"We've just got to monitor him to see how his knee's coping with his rehabilitation, and see if it's possible to get him up for there.
"I don't think there's any point rushing Ryano either, we've got a lot of cricket with India, World Cup, West Indies and the Ashes, we've got to make sure he's 100 per cent when he comes back."

The 11-strong group was to have launched a major inquiry within a few weeks into the workings of the European Central Bank, the stability and growth pact and the 'five economic tests' on whether the country should adopt the single currency. But on Tuesday chairman and Labour MP John McFall said the probe had been postponed to the autumn 'at the earliest' to allow the committee to consult experts.
The timetable change means the MPs may not start their investigation by the time Brown is expected to unveil his own decision. Critics said it could mean the decision will be made without Parliament having any say at all.
Insiders accuse McFall of using the issue to try to get back into the Chancellor's good books, after he was one of the first Scottish MPs to support Tony Blair for the Labour leadership in 1994.
Opposition MPs emerged angry from a private meeting with the committee chairman on Tuesday when the threat of a delay was spelled out. They believe the move is the Chancellor's revenge for the humiliation they inflicted on him.
The hostile Budget report was published after four Labour MPs missed the committee's final session, leaving Opposition members in the majority. The resulting report launched a stinging attack on Brown. The committee also said there was a £7bn black hole in the Budget. After that onslaught, it appears the Chancellor has decided not to risk further embarrassment over the euro.
Lib Dems and Tories have been pressing since before the last General Election for an investigation. They are particularly keen on analysing the technical work the Treasury has already done on the implications of the euro.
Their calls sparked a two-hour row at a recent meeting, after which McFall backed down - only to appear to change his mind again. But yesterday the chairman denied the timetable change constituted a delay. McFall said: 'The committee has agreed that we will look into the five economic tests and the technical work as part of a broader inquiry into the European Central bank, the stability and growth pact.' He agreed this might mean the Chancellor could issue his decision before the committee could report.

Sweet project! My only suggestion is that you might consider building your resistor network and headers in the prototyping area on your XBee shields rather than going through all the hassle of etching and drilling custom boards.
Are you going to board revision 1.4 when you get these back in stock?

I've seen these for sale on gunbroker a few times.
So about ten years ago I saw a Presentation Grade USMC Commemorative Edition 1911 and I haven't seen a whole bunch since. If my memory serves me correctly, it was Blued, Rosewood Grips with the Eagle Globe and Anchor Marine Corps Emblem inlayed within, and some Gold Plated accessories, and perhaps some engravings on one or both sides of the slide. Does anyone know who made these, i.e. Colt, Springfield, etc., and where I could possibly find one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I've seen these for sale on gunbroker a few times.
I happen to own a "Wings Of Freedom" 1911 from America Remembers. It's a very nice piece. It was given to me by my father when I was in the USAF.
"Wings of Freedom" Tribute Pistol
The one I have is a Colt. It's very nicely done.
They are currently running this for the Marines:
Marine Devil Dog Tribute Pistol
Just curious, is this for yourself or as a gift for someone else? If it's a gift, do they already own some sort of 1911? I ask because I was given mine at a time that found me without another 1911 to shoot. The only thing worse than not having a 1911, is having one you can't shoot. Something to consider anyway.
Wow, thank you both! I think the second link that you have shared is what I saw Bruce. This was about 10 years ago when I saw it though, and I believe that it would have been at least 10 years old at the time, so I'm thinking it would have been something produced in the late 1980's to early 1990's. Is that about the timeframe that these were produced?
Overkill, to answer your question, it would be "both"! I would like to find one for my Dad who was in the Marine Corps in the 1960's, and eventually it would be handed down to me, and I served in the Corps in the early 1990's.

Showdown put loyalties to test for Harbaugh parents
By Larry Fine
(Reuters) - Like all caring parents, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh do not play favorites when it comes to their kids, who just happen to be the rival coaches for the upcoming Super Bowl in New Orleans.
For them, the February 3 title game between John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers led by Jim Harbaugh has no perfect outcome.
"We are neutral in the Super Bowl!" proclaimed Jackie Harbaugh in a conference call on Thursday, refusing to pick between her sons.
"I really would like it to end in a tie. Can the NFL do that?"
The Niners and Ravens, of course, will play to a finish no matter how many overtime periods may be needed to produce a winner.
"I'm proud of both of them. Very proud," said Jack Harbaugh, a veteran of 43 years in coaching, primarily on the college level.
Jack remembered how hard it was for him and his wife when the Ravens beat the 49ers on Thanksgiving Day of 2011 in the NFL's first game coached by rival brothers.
"We peeked into the Ravens' locker room and saw them ecstatic, guys jumping up and down, the smile on John's face," the father said. "I thought 'we're really not needed here.' Continued...

Aaron Berry was arrested over the weekend on three charges of simple assault. Allegedly, pointing a firearm at a group of people from inside a vehicle. This is his second arrest this off-season and in the last month. He has two of the seven arrests associated with his ball club the Detroit Lions before training camp has even started.
Fantasy Analysis:
What should
Thayse- The most challenging decision a business owner ever has to make is in regards to an employee who falls in the quadrant of Good Performance/Bad Behavior. A non performer is much easier to let go of, but when you depend on a person to contribute to your team's success it's not always that simple. Transition this into the Detroit Lion's roster and obvious off the field issues. Some people may say that the attitude they brought to the field last year had much to do with the 9-7 record and first post season appearance in over a decade. Truth be told, there is a significant difference between playing with a chip on your shoulder and making bone headed mistakes on and off the field that can eventually cost you victories and potentially tear a team apart. Look at the last couple years of teams to make the super bowl and especially those that win it. These are teams with a work hard culture that is quick to dispose those who don't fit the mold. I honestly believe
Zeus- I think that the Lions organization needs to cut ties with

Customer Reviews for Appearance Plus Day Spa (5)
October 1, 2013
Best Facial & Hot Stone Massage ever
Best Facial & Massage I ever had!! And I've had them in 7 different countries & over 15 states. My wife is a regular customer of Appearance Plus Day Spa & she got me a Facial and Hot Stone Massage for my birthday, I loved it, it was only 1 hour, but I which it could've gone a few extra hours. Very friendly staff, great mood with the Spa music, the whole environment made me feel very relaxed. I travel alot on business and stay in very nice hotels in the states as well as other countries. I usually try to get Facials & Massages everywhere I go & I can tell you that this place is up there with those other great places. The best thing is that I live only a few miles away from this Spa & it's nice to know that I can just drive a few miles & get a high quality Facial & Hot Stone Massage really close to home. I highly recommend this Spa. Try it, you'll fall in love, I did! John W.

November 6, 2009
i just moved to the area and needed to find a facialist. i found appearance plus and as soon as i walked in i fell in love. beautiful place and the staff was very friendly and definitely experts in their field. the esthetician who did my facial was wonderful, i'm definitely coming back routinely.
April 24, 2009
worst massage i've ever received
the atmosphere of the place looked promising. my enthusiasm quickly faded when i had to change into slippers that were dirty and a scratchy robe. i was still open to giving my massage therapist the benefit of the doubt, but i was horrified within seconds. it didn't feel like she knew what she was doing or had any training at all. i had to ask her repeatedly to lighten up her pressure because she was hacking at me like i was a 200 pound footballer. i'm sure i'm going to have bruises today, and i left there with the worst migraine i've had in my life. it was really the worst experience i've had at a spa. i do not recommend this place at all!
November 8, 2008
A great experience
I visited this spa and when I walked in I felt I was "away from home"..the atmosphere was serene and when I received my massage it was excellent..I came out of my session so relaxed. I would like return for a day of beauty..

Choosing a domain name
A domain name is the alias that identifies a certain organizations' presence on the Internet. For example, the World Health Organization uses the Internet address http://www.who.int. The choice, which you make for your personal or business domain name can result in a big impact on the image of your company, it can also directly reflect on the success of your activities on the Internet. Currently there aren't any particular rules regulating the registration and usage of domain names. This is good, since it grants people the opportunity to choose freely the name that is most appropriate for them. On the other hand, this means that the name you would like to register is probably already taken by someone else. If you don't manage to register your desired domain name on time, your chosen domain name might elude you for quite a long time, possibly even forever. It's a fairly safe move to take steps for protecting your desired domain name right now to insure your future presence on the Internet.
Why register now?
Once you have registered a suitable domain name on the World Wide Web, you'll receive a unique identity for yourself, or the company/brand you represent.
Since many companies share similar names, it's very important to register a relevant domain name for your own personal or business needs as soon as possible. Currently, the most popular domain names on the Internet are the .com domains.

The Boat and the Sea of Galilee
by Lea Lofenfeld Winkler
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I felt the book was well written, and the photographs of the process were plentiful. This is a great library addition to anyone interested in archaeology.
The boat now goes into a conservation tank filled with a special fluid that must replace the water in the wood with this fluid. The members of the recovery team become known as the "Order of the Boat" people and this team of men and women remain together for the fourteen years that the boat remains in this special fluid. At last the boat is taken from the conservation tank to the Yigal Allon Center where it is on display today.
"The Boat and the Sea of Galilee" is just another picture book about an old boat like "The Old Man and the Sea" is just another book about an old man and a fish.
The writing was translated from Hebrew, and that should be kept in mind while reading the book. A glossary would have been a nice edition for some of the cultural words we in the US are not familiar with.
The Boat and the Sea of Galilee is the story of two brothers who during a drought in Israel are exploring the newly receded shoreline and come across an old boat buried in the lake bed. The story unfolds as a scientific drama, sharing the personal insights and feeling of those doing the work of discovery and preservation. There has been no other find of it's kind any where. It's an interesting look into the historic find.
The book is very intriguing and a quick read. Although there are time the books makes jumps in chronology or ideas I think that is a cross-cultural issue, and maybe if there is ever an edition printed solely for the US market they can fix that.

Dr. Sophie Winston and her team of survivors fend off the alien invasion in Orbs II: Stranded, the second book in Nicholas Sansbury Smith's best-selling Orbs series.
At the end of the world, who can you trust? The aliens have invaded, wiping out almost all life on earth. Their goal: water. Huge spaceships are draining the oceans, and the few remaining humans have been herded into farms, where their bodies are harvested to support the growing alien army.
Humanity's last chance lies in the biospheres that have been planted secretly across the globe. But all is not peaceful in the biosphere led by Dr. Sophie Winston. With resources dwindling and tensions high, her small group of survivors is divided. Some want to fight, some want to stay hidden, and Sophie just wants to keep everyone alive.
When one of their own, 11-year-old Jeff, is kidnapped by the Organics, Sophie is forced to pick sides. With the help of a promising new magnetic weapon, the biosphere team just might have a fighting chance to save Jeff and the world - if they live long enough to use it.

Science, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Military History, Thrillers, Great Courses, Horror, and anything with a good story. Please forgive errors.
"A little better than ORBS I"
The characters are still very stereotypical but there are more of them and some very interesting ethical dilemmas occur that force most people to pick a side and see how the situation unravels. It is a good addition to the story and you begin to understand what the aliens are and what they seem to be after.
"Can't Wait to Discover What Happens Next!!"
Story is totally engrossing! Characters are engaging and aliens are scary. Perfect book for weekend binge read. I went straight from Orbs - Book One to Book Two and I am starting Book Three.
I had to get Kindle version of this series because I can read faster. I am enjoy using both Audible and Kindle so I can rest my eyes.
"Great continuation"
The store was a fantastic part 2, I just order part 3, I can't wait to hear it, Elizabeth's narration was awesome, she made very easy to follow.
Well this is simple. I am a right wing conservative christian gun owning redneck!
"Action Packed"
Finally! I've waited for this book for almost a year now. It was totally worth it. Stranded is full of action and answers to the questions posed in the first book. There is tension and stress as the survivors deal with the ongoing invasion. Sophie and Overton begin to hit heads over the future of the biosphere. I liked this one more than Orbs.
"love this series so far"
the story is well written, interesting, intelligently written, and has some very good descriptive writing going for it. I love the development of the ai, and while there unrealistic aspects it's a very good read/listen
"Better than the first"
Very intense. I thought it was better than the first and I loved the first. Nick Smith is turning into one of my favorite authors. Come on Orbs 3.
"Even better than the Firs!"
I 100% enjoyed Orbs II. I've never been a huge fan of science fiction, however this series has managed to definitely grabbed my attention.
"The adventure continues"
If you enjoyed Orbs book 1 enough to continue on you won't be disappointed with book 2. More is revealed about the aliens and more questions about NTC. Lots of exciting battles and maybe the humans have a chance, but the earth is looking pretty grim without much water left. I'm looking forward to reading Orbs 3.
Half added crazy
"a great followup to the first one! lol"
Try to only listen when I exercise. Found myself exercising longer or sneaking a listen while doing something else. Subsequently, I got through it wanting more!

Fixed Wing UAV Navigation and Control through Integrated GNSS and Vision
Roberts, Peter J., Walker, Rodney A., & O'Shea, Peter J. (2005) Fixed Wing UAV Navigation and Control through Integrated GNSS and Vision. In AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference and Exhibit, 15-18 August 2005, San Francisco, CA.
With the rapid deployment of Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs) into new applications, the pressure to extend the capabilities of current platforms is increasing. Increased capabilities, however, should preferably not come at the cost of increased aircraft size. In order to strive towards a more capable platform, the UAV must become increasingly aware of its current state (control, navigation and health) and surroundings (location of other aircraft, airspace boundaries, weather and terrain). This paper reports on the results of research into providing a new level of situational awareness to the UAV that is low in cost and complexity. In particular the paper investigates the unique benefits that can be obtained from the integration of a GNSS sensor and a forward-looking vision sensor. The motivation for this investigation is the belief that both GNSS and vision will be integral features of future UAV avionics architectures: GNSS to provide basic aircraft navigation; and vision to provide for obstacle, and aircraft collision avoidance. This paper will present results showing that when single-antenna GNSS measurements are combined with information derived from optical flow techniques, a number of unique synergies emerge. Sensor accuracies and simulated flight control results are presented based on a comprehensive Matlab® Simulink® model which creates an optical flow stream based on the simulated flight of an aircraft. The paper establishes the promise of this novel integrated GNSS/Vision Sensor Suite approach for use as a complete UAV sensor package, or as a backup sensor for an inertial navigation system.

(Adds API data)
By Stephanie Yang
U.S. crude-oil stocks are expected to show an increase in data due Wednesday from the Department of Energy, according to a survey of analysts and traders by The Wall Street Journal.
Estimates from 13 analysts and traders surveyed showed that U.S. oil inventories are projected to have increased by 1.1 million barrels, on average, in the week ended Nov. 11.
Ten analysts expect stockpiles to rise, two expect them to decline and one expects no change. Forecasts range from a decrease of 2 million barrels to an increase of 2.6 million barrels.
The closely watched survey from the Energy Information Administration is due at 10:30 a.m. EST Wednesday.
Gasoline stockpiles are expected to show a decrease of 500,000 barrels on average, according to analysts. Five analysts expect a rise and eight analysts expect a fall. Estimates range from a rise of 2.5 million barrels to a fall of 2.9 million barrels.
Stocks of distillates, which include heating oil and diesel, are expected to fall by 1.8 million barrels. One analyst expects an increase and 12 expect a decrease. Forecasts range from a decline of 3 million barrels to an increase of 400,000 million barrels.
Refinery use is seen rising 0.8 percentage point to 87.9% of capacity, based on EIA data. Ten analysts expect an increase and three didn't report expectations. Forecasts range from an increase of 0.4 point to an increase of 1.3 points.
The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, said late Tuesday its own data for the week showed a 3.7 million-barrel increase in crude supplies, a 155,000-barrel decrease in gasoline stocks and a 3 million-barrel increase in distillate inventories, according to a market participant.

Could someone let me know what information is required?

As two others have mentioned, the FL permit is going to work for ya'.
The added prize here is that FL is one of about six states that will only recognize permits from states where you're a resident....BUT...if you have the FL permit, you'll be good to go when you visit here as a non-resident, and you couldn't find a better 'winter escape'.

I don't live there, but I'm applying for an internship in Seward, AL and hoping that God gives me the chance to go there and gives me the money to be able to do it.

I'm in Kodiak, moved here in 1991, then in 2000 we moved to Sitka, and then moved back to Kodiak in 2003. I used to work for a company out of Anchorage, and so I spent several weeks a year in the "city" and loved visiting there. I miss being able to just fly over, but at $300/person just to get off the rock, it's not really a possibility (and the airfare is just the beginning, then there is eating out, hotels, car rentals, shopping...). I've heard of some good web specials on ERA though, so maybe sometime. When we go south, we try to have some sort of layover in Anchorage, last time we took the bus to the zoo. How long have you been in Anchorage?01-13-2007, 02:40 AM #8

MICROPOLIS: The Pope Francis Effect
Even in New York, where issues of faith usually reside on the margins of public life, the Pope has people talking. And although much of what he says is viewed through the reductive lens of politics — Is he liberal? Is he conservative? — for many Catholics his words have a deeply personal, emotional impact.
In this episode of Micropolis, we examine the Pope Francis effect: the way some Catholics view themselves and their fellow Catholics differently, because of what their pope is saying. How he seems to have altered the perception of Catholics by others.
"We're so used to engaging in conversations that may not be the most comfortable — not too friendly," said Tim Lykins, a musician who runs a young adult group at St. Malachy's the Actor's Chapel. Now, he said, "People have a little bit more of a friendlier stance. And a little more open mind to listen to a Catholic now. You're not so much on the defense."

Kevin has left a new comment on your post "How to Add Memory Leaks to Python":Kevin has a misunderstanding here in that there is a huge difference between the expressions _ and the locals()["_[1]"]. You might spot why they are so different, or you might not. The second, the one from the list comprehension, is unable to be accessed by name directly. You can only get at it via the locals() and globals() functions, depending on your scope (locals() always works right after the LC in question, though). The name is intentially something that, if tried to resolve as an actual name in the scope, won't find the object in question. Python will look for _ and then do a subscript lookup on key 1 on it. This is completely different than actually looking up the name _[1] in the dictionary where names are stored and grabbing up the value its bound to.
Doesn't '_' only exist in the interactive interpreter?
So, Kevin, your question can be answered in that its irrelevant, because we aren't dealing with _ at all. Also, open your profile so I can respond to you directly, next time.

I met with my PS and he said he uses a "new technique" (that he has been doing for about 3 years now) that does not require drains. I was excited to hear that, but as I am reading more and more on this site- which I am so happy I found!- I havent heard of a single person that didnt have drains. Has anyone else heard of this? If you had no drains, how was your recovery? What was your experience?

Max Dudious on the Music, Part 2
This review first appeared in the March, 2004 edition of Audiophile Audition.
BOISMORTIER: Sérénades françaises, Les fragments mélodiques, Bassoon Concerto, Deuxième sérénade ou simphonie françoise, Concerto pour Zampogna – Le Concert Spirituel/ Laurent Le Chenadec, bassoon; Hervé Niquet, conductor – Naxos Stereo 8.554456.
According to my 1935 Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier was born in Perpignan c.1689, and died near Paris c.1755, which makes him a close contemporary of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) and Telemann (1681-1767). "He composed four ballet operas, of which three met with great success, the fourth was not performed; a number of cantatas, and over 50 opus numbers of instrumental works, including a large number of pieces for musette and vielle (hurdy-gurdy) which (c. 1725-35) were in the height of fashion, especially at the French court. He was a gifted composer, but writing at high pressure for gain detracted from the value of his work. In spite of this, however, it contains here and there a distinct gem." That's it. One paragraph. You might call his work obscure.
So it was with low expectations that I flipped this CD into the tray of surprises, and lo and behold! Pretty damn nice music. Especially the bassoon concerto. I can't say the music mimics anyone else's in its essence. It doesn't have Bach's unrelenting adherence to form, though it obeys the rules of the day; nor Bach's harmonic adventurousness. It doesn't have Vivaldi's showcasing of virtuoso instrumentalists, perhaps because he didn't have any to write for. Nor does it have Telemann's invention of new orchestral combinations, though it obviously has some. What it has is a Gallic flair, a lightness of touch, a lack of serious purpose beyond bringing pleasure, and these elements make it much like Telemann's lesser works, his Tafelmusik, or table-music. This 18th century music is something we 21st century folks might enjoy at a dinner-party, as it isn't so engaging to force us to attend. When asked why he didn't write more serious music, Boismortier would say, "I am earning money." In today's parlance; "This is how I earn my living." To which what riposte could one offer?
What we have here is an anthology of occasional pieces, some with unusual instruments (hurdy-gurdy), some in standard instrumentation, some charmingly different dances, a brief bassoon concerto, another for zampogna (Calabrian bagpipe), all done with remarkable grace. If you are interested in French court music, this album touches many of the bases. If you'd like to stump your friends with unusual music while dining, this is certainly a product of a dark corner in music history, but one well worth shining light on. (As Sir Winston Churchill once wrote as marginalia to an aide who went to extraordinarily awkward lengths to avoid breaking the rule against ending a sentence with a preposition: "This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.")
Seriously folks, if you would know more about the first half of the 18th century in French music, this collection of Boismortier's work is a fine place to start. If you already have a taste for that place and time, this album will round out your collection. This is good music, well-played, and well-recorded, and will make a fine addition to any period collection. The compositions may not be two or three part inventions, but "Recommended" nonetheless.
High scores for grand style.
ANGLO-AMERICAN ANONYMOUS: American Angels; songs of Hope, Redemption, & Glory. – Anonymous 4 – harmonia mundi, Stereo CD HMU 907326.
This collection of largely 19th century American folk hymns, gospel songs, camp revival songs, psalm tunes, fuging tunes, and religious ballads is a surprising, if not wholly unexpected, departure for Anonymous 4, who usually focus on medieval music, Hildegard von Bingen and the like. The names of the usually unnamed group are Marsha Genensky, Susan Hellauer, Jacqueline Horner, and Johanna Maria Rose. The talent of these four women has won citations and awards ranging from "A Record of the Year, 2001" from The Sunday Times, London; and "Editor's Choice" from Gramophone magazine, to a "Classic CD Award, 1996" from Classic CD magazine, and a "ffff" from Télérama. They have also been awarded a "Diapason d'Or" (or Gold Medal) from the French recording industry, like an American "Grammy." The single word that best describes their oeuvre is "extraordinary."
From "Songs to the Virgin from 13th Century France," to John Tavener's recent compositions "The Bridegroom & other works," Anonymous 4 have redefined the role of a capella singing for female voices. They have been together for the past eighteen years, and this album may be their last—this collection of isicathamiya (a capella singing of one's homeland).
The collection starts out as an attempt to capture the various singing styles that were in use in the eighteenth-century Colonies and follow their development through that and the nineteenth century, from the Northeastern cities back to the rural South via printed tunebooks, and back again to the north via oral traditions saddlebagged onto migration patterns. Most important were the singing schools, "where students practiced singing the octave scale with European solmization syllables, fa-sol-la-fa-sol-la-mi-fa, and learned to sing music composed in three and four parts." By the early nineteenth century, "Singing school masters now published tunebooks containing a new 'patented' notation using four different shapes for noteheads (triangle Δ for fa, circle О for sol, rectangle ð for la, and diamond ¨ for mi." This system caught on in helping students learn more quickly how to read music. It became known as "shape singing," and such singing became central to the lives of folks attending revival meetings, huge evangelical religious gatherings venerated as "that old-time religion."
Some of the songs have survived down through the centuries and have been included in recordings by such artists as Ralph Stanley, the Louvin Brothers, Emmylou Harris, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among others. The most familiar titles include, Shall We Gather at the River, Angel Band, Wayfaring Stranger, Amazing Grace, and In the Sweet By and By. For a more complete mini-history, see the informative album notes by Marsha Genensky quoted above.
This album is a compilation of songs familiar to those who might enjoy the soundtrack album of the film Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? or the Smithsonian anthology known as The Harry Smith Collection. Such songs are variously categorized as hillbilly, bluegrass, country, and Southern gospel. All of these categories share a set of common roots. And all of those go back to Colonial times, Anglo-American hymnals, and their early "shape-singing" arrangements. This latest, perhaps final, album is an attempt by Anonymous 4 to bring their musical sensibilities and scholarly approach to this material. This album is highly successful, and highly recommended.
TAVENER: Ikon of Eros. – Minnesota Orchestra; Minnesota Chorale; Jorja Fleezanis, vn; Patricia Rosario, sop; Tim Krol, bar; / Paul Goodwin, conductor – Reference Recordings, Stereo HDCD, RR-102CD.
Sir John Kenneth Tavener was knighted by Queen Elizabeth on 1 January 2000 in the Millenium Honours List. He completed Ikon of Eros in October of that same year. We might see it as a composition by a mature artist at the top of his game. According to the author of the album notes, Michael Steinberg, Tavener is a composer "who in his composing lives in the world of the Divine and the Numinous. So it has been for the last twenty years, and what he has written in that period has made him, among living composers, the one with the largest, widest, most diverse audience." In this secular age, Tavener seems to have found a porthole, what Rumanian scholar Mircea Eliade saw as an interface between sacred and profane where the Divine may intrude on our everyday lives.
The first paragraph of the album's notes offers a list of instruments, as if a partial explanation of the music about to be experienced. "Ikon of Eros is scored for five groups of performers: solo violin, solo soprano, and dholak (a double-headed cylindrical drum); Greek psaltist (or cantor), mixed chorus, and very large Tibetan temple bowl and very large tamtam; two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, small Tibetan temple bowl, very large tamtam, and dholak; four horns, four trumpets, three tenor trombones and bass trombone, large Tibetan temple bowl, and very large tamtam; medium Tibetan temple bowl, very large tamtam, dholak, and strings." This is a big work, partly Greek and partly Tibetan in its influences.
In the album notes there is also a bit of Tavener's "philosophy" and his "likes and dislikes" of other composers. I have trouble with this aspect of his public persona. I'd rather not have known so much about him, and let his music stand on its own. And formidable music it is, ranging from one extreme to another from moment to moment. Tavener takes us from religious transfiguration, to Divine love, to religious ecstasy, and to hallelujahs. It is not so much that he does it, as how he does it. He brings us to the mysteries with eerie sounding echoes of the past. He sees the closeness of "the self-abnegation of Byzantine orthodoxy" and similar Buddhist teaching: "To deny wanting is to deny suffering; to deny wanting is to deny the self: to deny the self is to deny suffering." To underscore this, he goes from Greek Orthodox liturgical music to Tibetan, from beautiful cantorial singing to the cacophony of beaten drums and bowls. It is eerily beautiful.
To understand how he gets us to go along – to experience transfiguration, Divine love, religious ecstasy, and prayers of praise – is to understand his art. This is music to be played loudly for effect, in surround sound, or in the case of this recording, and on my system, in simulated surround sound, to capture the spaciousness of the venue, the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Perhaps we should don saffron robes and sandals to listen to this work. Whatever will put us in the spiritual condition to seek interface with the Divine will do.
This spiritual work is one that shares the religious impulse with all the great works of the past, Bach's Cantatas, Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, etc. though it is not in the same idiom. Whether you agree with Tavener's philosophy or not, this is powerful stuff.
Most highly recommended; among the most exciting music I've heard lately.

Electric-powered aircraft: good for composites suppliers
Electric-powered flight is nascent, but the promise is real, as is the opportunity for composites fabricators and suppliers.
Electric-powered Zigolo, by Aeromarine, in flight.
Recently, an electric-powered ultralight aircraft, the Zigolo by Aeromarine (Lakeland, Fla., USA) flew at the Sun 'n' Fun airshow held in Florida during the first week of April. This may or may not be noteworthy — the flying demonstrator, says Aeromarine's head Chip Erwin, isn't even made of composites at this point; to get it ready to fly to the show, the tubular frame was made of aluminum. Erwin, a composites aircraft specialist, says that parts of the Zigolo are going to transition to composites going forward. What is remarkable is that electric aircraft have matured to the point that they're readily available for sale — the electric Zigolo kit will sell for around $20,000, says Erwin.
The Zigolo joins an ever-longer list of aircraft powered by electricity, generated via solar cells or batteries, often with better performance than electric cars. We've reported extensively on the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft, a gossamer craft that has flown in Europe and the U.S. (see news story here: www.compositesworld.com/blog/post/sun-composites-long-duration-solar-powered-flight). Airbus Group flew its E-Fan electric technology demonstrator in Bordeaux, France on April 25 to showcase electric propulsion, which the company hopes will lead to reduction in aircraft noise and emissions, to meet upcoming European guidelines (News story here: www.compositesworld.com/news/airbus-demonstrates-electric-e-fan-aircraft) and the company is definitely looking into larger electric powerplants for commercial flight.
Pipistrell (Ajdovščina, Slovenia) has developed a four-seat electric plane, a customized Taurus G4, which won NASA's Green Flight Challenge in 2011 with a stunning performance of more than 200 miles nonstop at an average speed of more than 100 mph, delivering 403.5 passenger seat miles per gallon equivalent. In comparison, a typical Boeing 737 delivers 88, or a Toyota Prius, 100. A 2012 article in Scientific American ("Can Electric Aircraft Take to the Skies?" by Umair Irfan and ClimateWire) argues that looming taxes and fees on carbon emissions, and the price of aviation fuel, is driving the electric technology push. Penn State aerospace engineering professor Jack Langelaan says that electric engines are very efficient at converting stored energy to mechanical energy, three times an internal combustion engine, but energy density of a battery is a factor of 70 less than gasoline. So, the extra weight (of batteries) needs to be countermanded by an extremely light airframe.
The takeaway here is that is electric aircraft are at the tipping point, and moving into the mainstream. As they develop, composite materials will be critical to offsetting battery weight and light-weighting the structure as much as possible — and it's likely a growing opportunity for our industry.

It's almost time for a brand new season of "Girls" and HBO just unveiled a crazy and exciting preview trailer for all to enjoy.
Season Five of the popular dramedy is slated to premiere on February 21st, 2016, starring Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Andrew Rannells and Jake Lacy.
She's the sexiest Peter Pan of all time, and Allison Williams isn't shy about showing skin in the latest issue of Harper by Harper's Bazaar.
Getting an early jump on the weekend, Katie Holmes showed up at the 2015 Fashion Group International Night of Stars Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday night (October 22).
It was a huge weekend for Allison Williams and her new hubby Ricky Van Veen as they said their "I Dos" at Brush Creek Ranch in Saratoga, Wyoming on Saturday (September 19).
And soon after her ceremony, the "Girls" actress posted a photographs of her amazing Oscar de la Renta bridal gown via Instagram.
Kicking off her weekend a bit early, Allison Williams showed up at Baccarat nightclub in New York City last night (March 19).
The "Peter Pan Live!" star hobnobbed with fellow guests like Ann Caruso, Cristina Ehrlich and Mary Alice Stephenson for the SAMA Eyewear Launch of deCODE: Los Angeles.
Taking care of some promotional duties, the cast of HBO's "Girls" showed up at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday night (March 8) for the paley Center for Media's 32nd Annual PaleyFest LA.
Lena Dunham was in fine form as she struck a pose for fans and shutterbugs who gathered to welcome her and her castmates.
He always has one of the most-anticipated shows of New York Fashion Week and earlier today (February 18) Michael Kors attracted plenty of a-list stars for his Fall 2015 presentation.
It's one of the biggest nights of the year for the film and television industries, so it's no wonder Lena Dunham, Allison Williams and Zosia Mamet were in the house for the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards earlier this evening (

Big Sky is a great resort whether you go in Winter or Summer. Lots of fun activities year round.
I spent the entire winter of 85-86 here, Most recent was January of this year. It is still my favorite ski destination.
Big Sky might just be my all time favorite! They call it "white smoke" and it is fresh powder every day so light that you can get lost in it. I spent a month at Chet Huntley Lodge once skiing from open to close every day and never tired of it. From white-outs up in the bowl to world champion figure eight competitors, we had a blast.

Dear Dr.Fred:
I live in the great state of Texas and am a loyal member of the Tea Party. I want to know how we can rid this nation of all them foreigners who just don't know about our Constitution and the free enterprise system. How can we return America to the great land it used to be?
100% Loyal American, John
Dear John:
I share your desire to get rid of all these damn foreigners who pollute our great nation. I wish we could get back to those days of yore when America was a nation that was 98% white Protestant(of course, there were those black skinned folk, but they sure knew their place). I guess things started going downhill when those dirty, poor Irish Catholics took over the cities and brought crime and booze and all them prostitutes. And, of course, the first Catholic president, that John Kennedy guy, was all for the civil rights stuff. Take it from me, the Kennedy family was bunch of Irish Catholic Communists who did not believe in God!
Anyway, let me suggest you vote for this Barack Obama, he is one of your kind– a damn Protestant. OK, a slightly different shade of skin, but just remember, he is a white Protestant, under the skin.

I agree with you that Good works/obedience is not filthy rags unless we are depending on them for our salvation.It's OK to feel good about loving others more today than you did yesterday - isn't it?
Or to pray for someone who has persecuted or wronged you or scorned you for your faith in Jesus Christ?
There are many things that He said we are blessed to do, and I don't think He wants us to feel nothing we have done that He told us to is just filthy rags - we should feel good when we take His words to heart and live them out in our life.
To stay upon the 'filthy rags' thoughts too much might detract from the blessings and joy He intended for us to have in the more abundant life.

How about viewing it as doing the job you were hired to do?
Romans 4:4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.
People misread what Paul wrote in Romans 4 as it's ok not to work, forgetting that he also said you don't get to eat if you don't work. The point he was making is that faith is more important then works. Thus the faith focused people misread it as much as the works focused people misread James 2.
Faith alone is unbalanced just as works alone is unbalanced. Faith comes first, then works. We do our part because it is what we have been told to do, if you want to focus on a aspect that says you do it to stay saved, but we do works because he hired us to do works, he expects it. And if you are able to work and don't to help the cause of Christ then you are going to lose your job.
You can't be saved and work as the world works.
Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right,Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. 37 Then the righteous will answer Him,Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? 40 The King will answer and say to them,Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.
41 Then He will also say to those on His left,Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me. 44 Then they themselves also will answer,Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not [e]take care of You? 45 Then He will answer them,Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. 46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
So was Jesus lying when he stated the above? I read that and I see there are things that we can NOT DO ie. works that can earn us a ticket to hell.
Or am I missing his message in the above passages? And I have a cousin who died in a car accident who was living for himself and is most likely lost although he was baptized before he started on his own way. Short of him repenting to the Lord before he died and it being real he will most likely be lost to hell.

What are you reading from? It certainly isn't a Bible.
#245 Apr 18, 2013
Oh please don't tell me you want to dance the King James dance with me! ;)
If you want we can start into the greek and see where it takes us. In the above passage they are pretty much in line with each other, so I have to assume this is your attempt to avoid what I wrote by introducing a change of topics, but I am happy to dance the KJV dance with you as the KJV is as poor a translation as any other translation, that is why I read several different translations and then review the Greek when it is a passage that seems confusing.
So are you changing topics and giving up the previous conversation, or would you like to continue as I am fully prepared to show the weakness of the KJV to you if you would like.
#246 Apr 18, 2013
So, you're a Greek scholar now?
If you read all these versions, coupled with your extensive knowledge of Greek (and probably Hebrew), then you should have no difficulty in producing a translation that is reliable to you without having to resort to multiple versions that all say something different between them.
Fair enough? God said that he would preserve his word, so here's your Big Chance to do a work that is pleasing to God.
#247 Apr 18, 2013
You might even make a few bucks at it too. It's worked for publishing houses and "translators" who for years have "decided" that "we need ANOTHER" translation because the hundreds that are on the market now "just don't get capture the word of God for our generation."
"Beware of the scribes..." Who was it that said that?
#248 Apr 19, 2013
Go reread the passages involving the restoration of Peter.
John 21:15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,Simon, son of Jonah,[b] do you love Me more than these?
He said to Him,Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.
He said to him,Feed My lambs.
16 He said to him again a second time,Simon, son of Jonah,[c] do you love Me?
He said to Him,Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.
He said to him,Tend My sheep.
17 He said to him the third time,Simon, son of Jonah,[d] do you love Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time,Do you love Me?
And he said to Him,Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.
Jesus said to him,Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish. 19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him,Follow Me.
There is a huge difference in the greek when you see agapao that Jesus used and Phileo that Peter replied with both translated as love in almost all translations (haven't read them all)
Jesus asked him if he agapao'd him and Peter replied twice he Philao'd him, the third time that Jesus asked him he asked him if he Philao'd him, Peter knowing that Jesus had already told him before of a failure reads into this that Jesus is implying he can't even philao and will fail at that, and Peter being greatly disterbed answered again that he loved him at a brotherly love level, unable to boast at all, this is a huge change in Peter who was always the opposite. This is why Jesus told him he would agapeo him by telling him he would die with his hands stretched out and being tied by another, this is clearly a restoration statement of Jesus to tell Peter he will do more then he believes he can do at this time!
In the english without the knowledge of the greek it appears that Jesus is simply rubbing salt into Peter's failure by asking him 3 times. It does not show the subtle change from agapeo vs philao debate to the philao used by Jesus in the last question.
It does not take a scholar do see that, only common sense and some tools.
Now we can talk about Easter and how the scribes changed it in the KJV from the original Greek word for passover. A clear alteration of the original text.
#249 Apr 19, 2013
The day God releases me to preach his word it won't be from a man made temple that ALL denominational churches use, it will be from a home, and it will be to teach the old ways of the early church, leaving behind the temple system resurrected by the denominations that was never used by the early church.
And like Paul I will keep my day job to support myself and leave the funds collected from the body to feed the poor and reach the lost. Not for man made temples, or electronic bells and whistles. No recording systems for selling CDs or giving them away. No radio or TV ministries to fund.
Thus it won't be about the money, unlike today's systems, that has the denominational churches fighting over an ever decreasing population to pay for their toys.
But that will be in God's timing not mine.
#250 Apr 19, 2013
Is there a distinction between earing something VS having the right to something? I think so.
Revelation 22:14; "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."
#251 Apr 19, 2013
WIL with some good points on the Greek and the KJV. In most Bible versions you can't see that difference in the conversation with Jesus and Peter.

Avalanche kills 500 sheep in Sar-i-Pul
Avalanche kills 500 sheep in Sar-i-Pul
SAR-I-PUL (PAN): Up to 500 sheep were killed as a result of avalanches triggered by heavy snowfall in the Sancharak district of northern Sar-i-Pul province, an official said on Monday.
The incident happened in the Aab Kalan area, where the animals were moving from pasture to the Faizabad village, the district chief told Pajhwok Afghan News. Sakhidad Khan said the herd belonged to an individual named Ustad Murad.
Murad said: "I was taking my sheep through a valley. All of a sudden, an avalanche hit them. I took refuge behind a huge rock, but all my sheep were killed." He claimed each of his sheep was priced at 4,000 afghanis ($81.0701).

Also, when the pump is put on, take the fuel line off by the carb and turn it over and see if gas will spray out (into a can). Make sure the pump is primed first. It is not uncommon for a pump to go out, but then again its not a very common thing either.
My friend exaggerates alot too. I amm going to get the numbers off the motor to put its age and origins to rest though. like i said the suction on the pump was there but very soft, the same on the other 2 or 3 new ones. i had them go directly into a jar beneath it and it didn't have enough suction to empty it. the carb has been rebuilt by this redneck oracle I know so I trust the carb with my life lol. I still cant help but wonder if the eccentric was warped when that motor mount broke and my fan ate my radiator. I will confessed the new mech pumps weren't primed though. That is why I was also curious if the eccentric, t chain replacement, and sprocket replacement was tantamount to nipping this issue in the bud? Those 3 items I am willing to put money on/in.

If you are like alot of americans. you are out of work!!!! and now with a bad economy. you are looking to be a truck driver as a last resort plan... you have talked to a few driving school recruiters. and they are saying that now has never been a better time to become a truck driver. that's an out rite lie... they are merly sales people. they will tell you anything to get your money... and just like any other school in the country.. there are good driving schools and bad driving schools... they are some what hard to tell apart....
but that is not what this post is about... I am setting up this post to help people understand what they should know before going to school...
Right now, is a very bad time in the trucking industry. with factories closing or moving out of the u.s. freight is slowing down.. about every trucking company either has a hiring freeze. or they are laying off... unlike a couple of years ago. where there were more freight then trucks or drivers. now there are more drivers and trucks. then there is freight.
here is what you need to do before signing up for school.
the no hires are
bad work history
bad driving record
criminal record
drink driving convictions
drug possession convictions
location of your home
age. 21 is the youngest you can aply for an class a cdl for interstate work. most companies will not hire under 23 years of age.. it's an insurance thing..
medical/health related problems
experience in trucking.
it's a short list. but that is what will most likely get you turned down on the spot. they won't ever tell you that. but that's what happens..
I suggest you use this site or any other trucking job based website. to call around and talk to the trucking companies first.. find out if you have a chance at driving a truck.. I have read where too many driving schools are ripping people off. the school can not promise you a job. they are no different then any other school in the country. you could spend alot of money on the school. and never beable to get a job driving a truck.. so know before you go to school... if no one will hire before you go to school. then your not going to get hired after school.. if you have anything in the no hires above... then you need to be honest with the trucking company recruiter about it... and they will tell most of the time if they can hire you or not. if they act kind of ify over the phone to you. then it is no they can't hire you... make a list as you talk to trucking compaines that will and won't hire you. and weight the list and everything about how they responded to your questions. and go based on that. and then if you still decide to go to driving school... keep the list of will and won't hires with you. so as you do the applications. you will know up front which applications to fill out. it will save you alot of wasted effort..

Let us understand the term associate - let us say we have three friends, they associate with each other or we can say they mix with each other. So how many of us have friends? Infact, we all do isn't ? if we lined up the three friends together, and could we switch places , as we will still remain friends . so in the same rule also works in the math world too.
In assoc. Prop. of addition, if the numbers put together, let us use an equation ( 39 + 21) + 62 , now here we have an equation, so what do we notice about these three number? Well all the numbers are in the same line but the two numbers are grouped and the third number is kept aside but does not mean will not be counted. Let us sum them so 39 plus 21 is 60 and finally add 62 with 60 gives us 122, now in the next equation firstly always try and get rid from the brackets so the numbers inside the brackets are 21+62, whose sum is 83 now add with 39 which also gives us 122 as our final solution. Thus their sum will be always the same. If we group the numbers in different way also still the sum will be same. So let us take the same example as above, which is 39+ (21+ 62). So we get the sum as 122 for both the equation.
We define associative property of addition is when we are adding more than two numbers the grouping the adding's does not change the sum. Let us say, (1+2)+4 = 1+(2+4) here we notice that the adding's of the both sides are the same. 1+2+4 the associative property of addition, in the left hand side as we see, 1+2 is 3 and then +4 results in 7. The same way on right side 2+4 is 6 and then +1 is 7. So both have the same sum, regardless the way in which the way it's adding's group. This is how we define the Asso. Prop.of Addition and these were few Associative Property of addition examples that we understood.
Associated property of addition is nothing but the grouping three or more number in any order without affecting our sum. A more general way to write the associative properties of addition is (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).

Happy New Year's Eve! 2010 is gone and I am excited to begin 2011. We've been busy at our house this week by giving our home a mini makeover - painting, tossing out old decorations, and swapping out old photos with fresh new ones. Even though you call this spring cleaning, it feels that the new year is a perfect time to get rid of the old and start fresh and new. Plus, it really makes me feel good inside to have this new beginning!
Last year, I started this blog to share my creations with you. I can say that I have made so many friends who share the same joy of being crafty - it's so amazing to see all of your talents. I've been blessed to have been invited on two design teams this past year, Papercraft Star where I post weekly projects and The Hybrid Chick where I post monthly tutorials, a huge highlight of my crafty year!
This brings me to some news that I'd like to share. I have also been invited to join the Design Team at Inspirational Card Sketches starting in January! I will be joining the gals on the team to create weekly projects based on the sketches provided. I hope that I make them proud!
And now, I'd like to share with you my 11 (as in 2011) favorite projects I created in 2010. They were chosen not for their design, but for what they meant to me or for their occasion/purpose. Picking 11 was tough! In no particular order....

To bring in the New Year, I created a few little treat bags to celebrate with some sweetness. At the top of this post is a full view. Here is the close up. The postcard was designed by yours truly! I wanted a vintage feeling, but couldn't find anything that fit - so, I created my own design in Photoshop and I just love it!
I hope the New Year finds you well! Here's to a new beginning. Welcome twenty eleven!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Made this mini zine (8 b/w pages + color cover) for a swap at Swap-Bot, July 2014. Just little blurbs, photos, doodles & such for each day in July. I made extra copies - so if you want to trade, give me a holler.

Nice Zine.
