We are happy to offer the following memories and reflections from Father Facundo Mela, FDP. Father Facundo has worked with the poor and disabled in Argentina and the Philippines.
On 13th March, I received a text message informing me that white smoke was coming from the Sistine Chapel. I immediately ran in front of our television to learn who would be the new Pope. When, Cardinal Jean Lous Tauran solemnly announced the new Pope's name, I could not understand him; my Latin is not so good. Then, helped by the television headlines I knew that Cardinal Bergoglio was Pope Francis. At that very moment, I was overwhelmed with emotion and happiness, thousands of remembrances came to my mind: my priestly ordination, his lifestyle and his shepherd's heart.
More than a year before my priestly ordination, I met him by accident, or better by Divine Providence. I took advantage of the situation and requested he ordain me as a priest. He looked at me and replied: "Yes I will, son, but call me as soon as possible to schedule it, ok?"
Some months later, I called the archbishop's office for my ordination and instead of talking to his secretary, the operator connected me with him and we schedule my ordination. Before the mass, we had a very meaningful meeting at the parish house. He met my father and my superiors, talking to us like friends, like a simple priest.
Until now, his words resound in my heart: "As the author of the letter to the Hebrews describes Christ: compassionate and faithful, you have to be so, be a compassionate and faithful priest". He looked at me and repeats these two words: compassionate and faithful which have helped and come with me during my ministry, especially in doubtful and dark moments.
Many people were amazed, when the newly Pope Francis asked people to pray upon him, he bowed down to the people of God for their prayer, a new and unprecedented gesture; a bishop asking the prayer of his people. But it was not the first time he did it, he always does it. At the end of my ordination, he requested my blessing. Can you imagine a newly ordained priest blessing the Cardinal? At that moment, I got very nervous and had trouble remembering the blessing form.
After his election the world's eyes have looked at him and his style: simple, approachable, smiling, without pomp, close to the poor. Last week, a lot of friends around the world shared with me their surprise and amazement: he is amazing, his homilies are simple and deep, he speaks like a shepherd, etc, etc. His words, style and simplicity are making many people approach to the Church and feel that She is their home again.
His shepherd's heart pushes him to go to the people, to spend Christmas and Easter in prisons, hospitals and squatter areas. As he said to the Argentinean bishop's conference some years ago: "We have to be shepherds who smell sheep, we have to be with our flock, we have to have its smell, because we are near, close to them…" This was his homily and his lifestyle.
These days, newspapers and TV broadcasts over the world have been speaking about him and his simple and poor style, which made them remain speechless, but here is my question, why are we amazed that a bishop wants to ride a bus or goes to squatters? What happened to us? Have we become used to excessive ways? Have we become used golden crosses instead of simple ones? Have we been focused on liturgical garment and not on the gospel?
Sometimes, we, Christians put our attention on anti-evangelical things: forgetting the poor, wasting food, fighting for stupid things, thinking about irrelevant issues, living as the godless, scandalizing the world, etc. But, God forgives us and gives a gift: a new shepherd. So, I firmly believe that Pope Francis' example is a God's invitation to return to simplicity of life, to go out to the people, to be close to the poor and the outcast, to avoid luxury and waste, to put Christ at the centre of our lives again.
So, let's thank God for our Pope, let's pray for him and accept his invitation "to walk, to build, to witness, always with the cross of Christ".

Voyeur Russian is a site that isn't like many others. Why? Simply because there aren't many real amateur voyeur sites on the 'net. If you like real porn, and particularly if you like to spy on sexy women, you have to check out this site. Voyeur Russian is not a site that you want to miss out...
Upskirt Collection is not about running around putting cameras up skirts, and it's not really about getting a sneak peek at a girl's panties either, so it's definitely not the kind of upskirt site I'm used to seeing. Most of the scenes are shot outdoors in public places but of course the models are well aware of the cameras... and a lot of them aren't wearing any underwear at all. So that is something else different from most sites. A lot of the content is actually just babes flashing the... Read the Review
Upskirts such as this one really sum up this whole porn genre. You have a beautiful babe attending some sort of social function in a public place. She is just standing there having a good time, unaware that the back of her dress has come up slightly. Just enough for us to get a sneak peek at her ass hugging panties and sheer stockings. This is what it is all about guys. While I would like to say that I was the one who snapped this photo, I have to come clean with you and...
Up skirts make me really happy. In fact, there are few other things that can make me happier. There is something so exciting about them and something that really makes me horny. I know not everyone feels this way, but that's okay because it only matters that it has that effect on me. I am so fond of up skirts and underwear shots that I often look for them in public whenever I get a chance. It doesn't matter if I'm in church, at a wedding or a night club. It doesn't matter...
I have sort of a litmus test to determine whether a person is really a fan of up skirts or panty shots. This test can help a person determine if they are really a fan of this genre or merely have a passing curiosity. Now it might seem strange to those of you who are die-hard panty shot fans, but you have to realize that this test is designed only to test the interest of those who may be on the fence regarding this niche. If you are already a fan, there is no need for you to take the... Read The Rest
I think that one of the greatest jobs in the world has to be the photographer who works for the Upskirt Collection. Take a moment to think about it. This guy gets to roam the streets of many different cities looking for hot up skirt pictures to take. If that isn't the greatest job in the world, then I don't know what would be better. I imagine that everyday this guy gets up he is pretty excited. Roaming around and snapping photos of unsuspecting women and their dainty underwear. He is... Read The Rest
I think that it is pretty damn safe to say that the creators of the Upskirt Collection are fans of the upskirt genre. They have to be in order to deliver the kind of action they provide to their members. They show high quality videos and pictures of some of the most candid up skirt shots you will ever see and they continue to add new content on a regular basis. If you have never been to their site and are a fan of this genre, then you probably should check out what they are offering. This... Read The Rest
What really catches you attention about this picture of this pretty blonde? If you are a woman, then you probably noticed that the type of jewelry she was wearing or the fact that her toes were painted. If you are a man, however, then you probably only really noticed one thing about this photo. And that one thing is that this chick is flashing her sweet little shaved pussy! That's the first thing that I noticed about this picture. I could care less about how pretty she is or what she is... Read The Rest
Do you know what's funny about up skirts? You never know what you are going to get. In one set of pictures you may see hot babes wearing cute panties. In another photograph you might find cute babe in granny panties, and in the set following that you might find women with leather underwear. You just never know what kind of panty shot you are going to get. While all of the panty shots I have mentioned are all pretty great, I think there is one other kind that I like the most. I like the shots... Read The Rest
If you want a free upskirt picture to look at, then you really only have two choices. You can roam around the street and other public areas with your camera in hopes of capturing one for yourself, or you can visit the Upskirt Collection. I think the latter is probably a better idea than the former. You could head out on your own I suppose and try to capture your own shots, but you face a few obstacles. One, it is usually pretty hard to find one on your own and if you do find one, then it... Read The Rest

You might question how moral it is to show off a candid upskirts on porn sites such as the Upskirt Collection, especially when that image was captured at a birthday party, but I feel that it is a form of bawdiness that society actually needs. It just isn't natural for us to keep all of our bits and pieces hidden behind layer after layer of clothing. We were meant to have our parts out there in public for all the world to see. During our evolution you could see what everyone was packing... Read The Rest

I was talking to a friend today , and I realized this world is filled with prejudice.
Close your eyes and imagine a world without hate
Without the fear of the unknown
Without the fear of the new
Sounds wonderful doesn't it?
Maybe one day this world will find a way to become filled with love.
Today pledge to yourself that you will go out of your way to make someone feel good and accepted.
One smile
That's all.
You could be the one to change the world.

Next: xshogi, Previous: About shogi, Up: Top [Contents][Index]
This section describes how to run the "gnushogi" program.
gnushogi [ [[-]a] [-b bookfile] [-B binbookfile] [-C] [-h langfile] [-L langfile] [-r length] [-R] [-s pathname] [-l pathname] [-S binbooksize] [-t] [-c size] [-T size] [-v] [-x] [-X] arg1 arg2 ]
GNU shogi (gnushogi) plays a game of japanese chess (shogi) against the user or it plays against itself.
At startup gnushogi reads the binbook file if it is present. It then looks for a book file. If it is present it adds its contents to the binbook data. If the binbook file is writable a new combined binbook file is written.
Gnushogi is a modified version of the gnuchess program. It has a simple alphanumeric board display, or it can be used with the xshogi program under X windows. The program gets its opening moves from the file gnushogi.bbk which is located in a directory specified in the Makefile. To invoke the program type:
simple curses based version
xshogi compatible version
raw test display version
If one argument is given, it is the search time per move in [minutes:]seconds. So gnushogi 30 will generate one move every 30 seconds, while gnushogi 5:00 will generate one move every 5 minutes.
If two or more arguments are given, they will be used to set tournament time controls with the first argument of each pair being the number of moves and the second being the total clock time in minutes[:seconds]. Thus, entering gnushogi 60 5 will set the clocks for 5 minutes (300 seconds) for the first 60 moves, and gnushogi 30 3:30 will allow 3 minutes and 30 seconds for 30 moves.
gnushogi 30 5 1 :30 will allow 5 minutes for the first 30 moves and 30 seconds for each move after that. Up to 4 pairs of controls may be specified.
If no argument is given the program will prompt the user for level of play.
For use with xshogi see the documentation on that program. See xshogi.
The book gnushogi.tbk consists of a sequence of openings. An opening begins with a line starting with a # (the rest of the line is a comment). Following this is a series of moves in algebraic notation alternating between black and white separated by whitespace. A move may have a ? after it indicating this move should never be made in this position. Moves are stored as position:move so transpositions between openings can take place.
The hashfile if created should be on the order of 4 megabytes; you can create such a hashfile by typing "gnushogi -c 22" (see below). This file contains positions and moves learned from previous games. If a hashfile is used the computer makes use of the experience it gained in past games. Tests run so far show that it plays no worse with the hashfile than without, but it is not clear yet whether it provides a real advantage.
Note: Piece letters are determined by the language file. What is specified here is the default (English).
Once gnushogi is invoked, the program will display the board and prompt the user for a move. To enter a move, use the notation 7g7f where the first letter-number pair indicates the origin square and the second letter-number pair indicates the destination square. An alternative is to use the notation P7f where the first letter indicates the piece type (P,L,N,S,G,B,R,K). To promote append a + the type of the new piece to the move, as in 2d2c+ or P2c+. Note that you must use capital letters for the pieces by default.
Do not search on opponent's time.
Do search on opponent's time.
Use bookfile for opening book.
Use binbookfile for binary opening book.
Create a new HASHFILE. File size is 2^size entries of approximately 65+? bytes.
Use curses-based display mode.
Do not use hashfile.
Do use hashfile.
Pathname of the loadfile used with get or xget.
Use language lang from the file gnushogi.lang. If -L is not specified it uses the first language in the file.
Number of plys to include in the binbookfile. For generating a binbookfile.
Rehash length times in searching entries for position in transposition table.
Use raw text display mode. This can be used for dumb terminals or for systems that don't have curses.
Pathname of the save file to use with the save command.
Size of binbookfile for memory based books. For creating a binbookfile.
Show statistics for HASHFILE.
Set the transposition table size to 2^size entries.
Show version and patchlevel.
Use value as the evaluation window xwndw.
Use xshogi display mode (the default).
In addition to legal moves, the following commands can be entered at the gnushogi prompt. Note: command names are determined by the language file and may vary with the implementation. The default language is English.
allow algebraic input (not implemented).
change Alpha window (default score + 90).
change Beta window (default score - 90).
toggles beeping after each move (default: on).
updates the current board position on the display.
turns off use of the opening library.
causes the computer to play both sides of a shogi game.
causes the computer to play as White, if the computer was to move first.
saves a game to disk as a book textfile. The program will prompt the user for a file name.
toggles game mode time control. Assumes the time specified for time control is the time for a complete game. Input with the level command should be the game time and the expected number of moves in a game. go command must be given.
show coordinates on the display (visual only).
allows the value of contempt to be modified.
asks for a piece as color piece, as wb or bn, and shows its calculated value on each square.
sets level of debugging output if compiled with debug options.
allows the user to change the search depth of the program. The maximum depth is 29 ply. Normally the depth is set to 29 and the computer terminates its search based on elapsed time rather than depth. If depth is set to (say) 4 ply, the program will search until all moves have been examined to a depth of 4 ply (with extensions up to 11 additional ply for sequences of checks and captures). If you set a maximum time per move and also use the depth command, the search will stop at the specified time or the specified depth, whichever comes first.
toggles easy mode (thinking on opponents time) on and off. The default is easy mode ON. If easy mode is disabled, the keyboard is polled for input every so often and when input is seen the search is terminated. It may also be terminated with a sigint.
allows the user to set up a board position.
Pieces are entered by typing a letter (p,l,n,s,g,b,r,k) for the piece followed by the coordinate. Here, letter case is ignored.
The usual warning about the language file applies.
exits gnushogi.
tells the computer to move first. Computer begins searching for a move. (same as "go").
allows the user to enter moves for both sides. To get the program to play after a sequence of moves has been entered use the "black" or "white" commands.
retrieves a game from disk. The program will prompt the user for a file name.
tells the computer to move first. Computer begins searching for a move. (same as "first").
use/don't use hashfile.
allows the user to change the minimum depth for using the hashfile and the number of moves from the beginning of the game to use it.
displays a short description of the commands and the current status of options.
causes the program to supply the user with its predicted move.
allows the user to set time controls such as 60 moves in 5 minutes etc. In tournament mode, the program will vary the time it takes for each move depending on the situation. If easy mode is disabled (using the "easy" command), the program will often respond with its move immediately, saving time on its clock for use later on.
writes the game moves and some statistics on search depth, nodes, and time to the file "shogi.lst".
toggle material flag - draws on no pawns and both sides < rook.
starts a new game.
evaluates the board and shows the point score for each piece. The total score for a position is the sum of these individual piece scores.
causes the program to display the principal variation and the score during the search. A score of 100 is equivalent to a 1 pawn advantage for the computer.
exits the game.
causes the program to randomize its move selection slightly.
set recapture mode.
backout the last level for both sides. Equal to 2 undo's.
causes the board display to be reversed. That is, the Black's pieces will now appear at the top of the board.
reverse board display.
saves a game to disk. The program will prompt the user for a file name.
causes the program to switch places with the opponent and begin searching.
performs some speed tests for MoveList and CaptureList generation, and ScorePosition position scoring for the current board.
set computer's time remaining, intended for synchronizing clocks among multiple players.
toggle tsume mode. In tsume mode, not all possible moves will be generated. If a king is in check, only moves that get the king out of check are generated. If the king is not in check, only moves that give check to the opponent's king are generated.
undoes the last move whether it was the computer's or the human's. You may also type "remove". This is equivalent to two "undo"'s (e.g. retract one move for each side).
causes the computer to play as Black; if the computer is to move first the go command must be given.
read an xshogi position file.
save as an xshogi position file.
change X window. The window around alpha/beta used to determine whether the position should be scored or just estimated. Note: this has nothing to do with xshogi or X windows; the terms are completely separate.

The Just Shall Live By Faith
Hab 1:1 The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw.
Hab 1:2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, "Violence!" And You will not save.
Hab 1:3 Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises.
Hab 1:4 Therefore the law is powerless, And justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
Wow, Have you ever felt like Habakkuk? Lord, How long shall I cry out to you and you will not hear? Lord all I see is trouble everywhere I look…I see iniquity, strife and contention, but justice never goes forth! Have you ever felt like that….You are doing all you know how to do, but everything looks negative? God answers Habakkuk..
Hab 1:5 "Look among the nations and watch— Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you.
God said "LOOK AND WATCH"…and you will be astounded at what you see, it will be more than you could have believed if I told you.
Hab 2:1 I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.
I like how the prophet answered.. I will stand watch, I will watch to see what the Lord will say to me and how I will answer… in other words I won't just be careful to see what the Lord says, I will be careful on how I respond to the Lord.
Hab 2:2 Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.
Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
Hab 2:4 "Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.
As I read this and studied this morning in the wee hours, such peace came to my heart…. Sometimes we are in situations that can seems soooo overwhelming and then when you turn to the word of God..PEACE COMES IN!! I am so thankful for the Power of the Word of God!! The sad part is that so many times we suffer so long in our mess till we pick up the word and let God bring His Peace to us!!!
When God answered Habakkuk, he instructed him to do something.. many times we pray and we want God to do something, but we are not willing to do anything… God said..Write the vision and make it plain… What are you believing God for…what is the vision that God has put deep in your heart. He has a plan and purpose for each of us. Jer 29:11. What is the vision that he has for your life? Write it down, be specific so that others can read it and join faith with you!!!!
Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry
Then I love what he says.. the vision is for an appointed time!!! We sing a song that says "and time is in His Hand". That statement brought me so much peace during those times that I was waiting for a vision to manifest. I waited for God to bring my husband for 13 years and many times it seemed like that vision he had given me wasn't going to come to pass…but see it was for an appointed time. But at the end it will SPEAK!!! Dead things can't speak! In other words the dream and vision God has given you WILL NOT DIE!!
Though it tarries, wait for it……….. My friend, Don't give up!!!!!!!!! IT WILL SURELY COME!
Hab 3:1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth.
Hab 3:2 O LORD, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
In Habakkuk 2 it is revealed what will happen to the wicked and here we see the prophets response… remember he was crying out for justice, now when he sees it, he says, I have heard your speech and was afraid…. In wrath remember mercy!!! The prophet saw that justice was coming both to the wicked and the righteous.
I want to end with something that I pray will encourage you and strengthen you as it has me this morning!
Hab 3:17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls—
In other words.. when your check book is empty, when there is no food in your house, when creditors are calling every day, when your body is writhing with pain and the report from the doctor is not good.. when you see no means of making ends meet… What do I do then Lord?
Hab 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Yet, I will…..in other words..no matter what I am going through I will… What will I do? I will JOY in the God of my salvation. How do you do that? You Trust Him completely!
Hab 3:19 The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer's feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills. To the Chief Musician. With my stringed instruments.
We have to constantly remember that He is our salvation, He is our strength!! We do not have to walk through this by ourselves…He will strengthen you and make your feet like deer's feet…Huh?? The deer are able to walk on high and rocky terrain and still keep there balance, so my friend with God's help we can walk through any trying situation and retain our balance and see the vision come to pass.
God Bless you my friend.

To set the record, it is not a crime to find ways to reduce the income taxes as long as it is done in legal ways. Having said this, legal means does not include evasion of tax return. When you avoid taxes, you do not only hide the facts but also make things unclear to the IRS. On the other hand, committing mistakes is also not also considered as a crime as long as it is not intentional. If, however, the IRS finds out that you are responsible for fraud, then they will definitely give you a find or let you go to jail thus it is very important that once you are subjected under the investigation of the IRS, you need to seek help from a person who is familiar with tax and crimes related to it.
Here are some of the behaviors that will alert the IRS that you are intentionally finding ways to reduce your income tax return.
– Intentionally underreporting of your income
– Taking payments in cash and neglecting to deposit them to avoid tax penalties
– Inflating the expense of your business
– Creating false business expenses for the reason to lower down taxes
– Creating a false Social Security Number
– Keeping multiple ledgers of your financial records
– Claiming spousal exemption even if you are single
– Claiming dependent exemption for people whom you do not support
– Destroying or concealing your account books
– Making false checks to support deductions that are bogus
– Denying the deposits in your bank account as part of your income
– Concealing your finances from the IRS
– Transferring your assts to hide them from IRS
– Reporting personal expenditure as business expenditure
– Claiming a lot of charitable deductions
– Failure to file for returns even if you make enough income
– Making false statements even if you are under oath
– Failure to file the return despite if you have been contacted by the IRS already

In China these days, especially in the commercial world, culture is a word often used together with industry. To many entrepreneurs, culture industry stands for a promising new business.
Numerous mainland tycoons have already poured money into culture-related businesses, including movie making, theaters, performances, tourism and other forms of entertainment.
A piano maker is jumping on the bandwagon too.
Guangzhou Pearl River Piano Group (002678.CN) is reportedly raising 1.33 billion yuan (US$202 million) in private placement to boost its capital as it plans to make a strong push into culture industry.
Pearl River has big ambition. It will use part of the funds to set up an incubator program to groom 300-500 startups in a wide array of creative industries, including movies, animation and advertising, according to a China Securities Daily report.
The piano maker also wants to build several music education centers that offer lessons in instruments, dancing and other art forms. The facilities will be equipped with gyms and eateries as well to double as leisure hubs.
E-commerce is also on the drawing board. Apart from upgrading its logistics and warehouse operations, Pearl River will build a platform to sell pianos online, backed by physical showrooms — the so-called O2O (offline to online) model.
Part of the money will go to fund the acquisition of a controlling stake in German piano maker Schimmel.
Overall, Pearl River wants to transform itself from being a manufacturer into an integrated business platform that stretches far beyond the original focus.
It is a bold project and quite sensible too. If it pulls off the plan, Pearl River will become a stronger company with higher level piano-making technology. It will also make the most out of his customers, who may buy its pianos as well as take lessons at its music centers.
However, there are still some issues that must be sorted out. Pearl River is yet to prove it can acquire the German technology and mate it with cheaper mainland production without sacrificing quality.
Moreover, one should bear in mind that manufacturing is quite different from service. Meanwhile, it is also unclear if pianos are something that people would want to buy online.
Let's hope that Pearl River won't be too aggressive and put too much on its plate in one go.

One hour earlier, I drank coffee, sitting next to my eldest, who sipped his hot chocolate. We had grabbed a couple of bar stools and sat, looking south west out of the window. Mist was rising from the great Chikuma River Valley, the distant range of mountains, only showing a few peaks. By the time we finished our drinks, the village of Nozawa Onsen was shrouded in white, above and below.
We kitted up and left the lodge, for the slopes. The weak winter sun was breaking through. The blanket of fog had risen, holding on in the mountain valley, where our chair lift waited. I wasn't prepared. My camera was attached to my backpack's shoulder strap, easily accessible, but I had no idea of settings. I knew I only had one chance, the conditions were changing fast. I sat in the chair, wedged my poles between my knees and carefully removed my gloves, shoving them under my thigh. I span the dials, checked the settings and waited. This wasn't textbook landscape photography! I hadn't set up in the dark at a previously scouted location waiting for the magic to happen. I didn't have a tripod, instead I was trundling along at 12mph, 60 feet up, trying not to drop anything. I didn't care, this is the kind of photography I enjoy. That single five minutes journey produced three keepers.

Chapter 2 - Bonggacious
Bonggacious started from the remnants of his former self, christopher104. At first, he donned items that easily made him dress up as a snowman. Perfect timing, since it was near Christmas when his Name was changed. For a few months, Bonggacious roamed about Gaia in his own pace. At one time, he discovered that his former master, Agent_Xterminator, was hacked, and so was his descendant, Agent_Xterminator_the_second. There were various reincarnation's of the Agent's soul, including Ymaz and half a dozen more. In his fits of self content, he began asking items from Ymaz before Ymaz was blocked (for some reason until now is still unknown). He managed to snatch himself a Black Heartbreaker Jacket and a monthly collectible, Elemental Wings. Bonggacious was indeed contented and pleased with this, so he only sought items influenced by the Dark Arts (meaning black things).
In order to expand his control over items and Gold, he decided it was time to create another being at his full command. And so, he created his mule, Bonggacious2. Now, with a direction to flow into, the items and gold to back it up, and a mule to support him, Bonggacious was finally ready to cast his Name again and adopt a new one. His last name was Tyzzon.

Sesame Place has to be considered a mini-Disneyworld and I don't mean this as a negative. It is located in
Once there – we went last week, not on a weekend and got to park across the street -- just 2 minutes away, I was blown away at all the things you could do. It is primarily a water park and there are plenty of parades and characters for your kids to interact with.
The Sesame Palce Entrance
There are traditional non-water rides and games where you can win a prize and I did win an Elmo stuffed animal for my daughter Priscilla.
You can even take a picture with Elmo but Priscilla and all the kids just before Priscilla in line were scared of this 5 foot 10 inch orange giant. The boy just before Priscilla was probably around two years old and his father had to sit him in his lap as he cried to get a shot. I think the park would be better off with a 3-4 foot Elmo but other than that, what a blast!
I got a few shots of Priscilla with Elmo before she scurried away :-)

Baby Boomers
The first baby boomers turned 65 in 2011. When this generation is mentioned, some people act as if the sky is falling. Economists in particular love to do the math on how much the boomers will cost Medicare and Social Security. Missing from the conversation is the upside of their retirement. The baby boomers may well give a new meaning to retirement and are probably not going to go into the sunset the same way their parents and grandparents spent their "golden years." They are re-defining aging with different styles of retirement, much more activity, and finding new meanings to their lives. While this is a potential upside for the economy, it is definitely not for ministries throughout the United States.
We need to understand baby boomers better and their potential impact. The following facts create the basis for my concerns:
- In 2011, 13% of the U.S. population was age 65 or older.
- In 2030, 18% of the U.S. population will be age 65 or older.
- There are 75 million people in the "baby boomer" generation.
- The early part of the baby boomer generation were the entrepreneurs.
- 2.8 million baby boomers became eligible for Medicare in 2011.
- 10,000 baby boomers per day are now turning 66 and this will go on for 19 years!
- 1,000 baby boomers per day are dying.
- The baby boomers provide the largest majority of financial support to ministries throughout the United States.
In addition, there is a great impact on manufacturing and construction. The U.S. manufacturers and the construction industry will be hit hard in the coming years by the absence of retiring baby boomers who make up much of their skilled workforce, according to senior executives surveyed in a Nielsen poll. Some 55% of those surveyed said the "skill shortage will cost each of them $100 million or more through 2018." The poll stated that 45% of the biggest manufacturing firms are "encouraging their older workers to stay on the job." Finally, 50% of respondents said they have 11 or more open positions for skilled workers, while 31% have more than 20 open slots – all during a time of record unemployment!
The Generational Transition
The generational transition has three areas of study in terms of impact to ministries that we will investigate:
- Wealth Transfer
- Effects of reduced giving to the church
- Learnings from the past generation
Wealth Transfer
As if the current economic crisis wasn't enough, it is taking place during the most significant generational transition in history. The next 20 years will see the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the entire world, from one generation to the next. The truth is that the wealth in our country is held by the old guys and gals and it will soon change hands. Our Congress and President know this and are fighting over how much the death taxes should be – ranging from 20-50% of all inheritances over 1 million dollars. This could easily mean trillions for the tax coffers, perhaps to be used to pay down federal and state deficits. What is left will go to the next generation which doesn't have the same giving habits as the current gatekeepers of wealth. So we need to look at what may happen to our ministries when we lose the impact of the baby boomers giving habits.
There are two distinct groups of baby boomers. The first were the entrepreneurs born from 1946 -1955. They tended to be business owners that were very conservative and had the greatest amount of wealth based on their large incomes. It logically follows that as they retire, the impact on giving will be real. The majority will be of retirement age by 2016 leaving a void that is unimaginable. In all, there will be 75 million baby boomers going into retirement and passing on.
Next week we will look at the impact of this retirement on church finances and attendance.

We're a full-service news organization at WWB, so here is your social note for the day: Attorney General John Kroger is planning to be married Aug. 1 to Michele Toppe, the interim dean of students at Portland State University.
Kroger has been quite chatty about his engagement, noting in The Oregonian's voter guide during the campaign that the first thing he would do in office would be to "kiss my fiance."
He wasn't quite so effusive on Friday. When I asked about Kroger's marriage plans, his spokesman Tony Green replied: "The Attorney General is getting married Aug. 1. That's all he wants to say."
Hey, fine with me. This ain't TMZ. Now on to the weather...

Josh was giving examples from his 2nd edition of his book about Generics ("Remember your ECS"), Enums (passing data in the constructor, usage of Enums instead of C-style bitfields, use the ordinal method if you really need it and know what you are doing, all Enums are serializable by default - can be used for Serialization-save singletons) and Lazy Initialization (do it only when you need it (fix circularity issue, solve a performance issues), Double check locking works since JVM 5 -- if done right "copy and paste this from the book web site").
Next Mark was talking about SE7 and especially also about project Jigsaw under the new title "The modular java platform". He was talking about Java and the JDK are big and amorphous. Running a simple hello world uses 332 classes and takes around 10 times the execution time than the same on Python. So the idea is to introduce profiles to JavaSE as they have been successful in ME already.
This can also extend into the applications by defining what we have today as a classpath as modules with version information and explicit dependencies (the next image shows a possible module and dependency tree).
Modularization is coming in the form of JSR 294 in JDK 7 (and not as JSR 277, which is not dead, but 'on hold'); OSGi is out of the game because the platform requirements for modularization are to integrate deeply in the VM and the language, but Sun is talking to the OSGi guys to make sure that the modularity work interoperates with OSGi.
In the last part of his talk, Mark was showing a list of potential features for Java 7. Among those are:
- Modularization - see above
- JSR 292, VM support for dynamic languages
- JSR 203, more NIO Apis (e.g. real filesystem api)
- Small language changes (Sage re-throw, Better type inference, Multi-catch (YAY!!) TBD) -- See blog of Joe Darcy
- JSR 296 Swing Application Framework
- Unicode 5 support
- Upgrade class-loader architecture (-> deadlock prevention)
- Swing updates
- G1 garbage collector, HotSpot improvement
- Thinking about a MVM-lite
- JSR 308 Annotations on types (e.g. annotate method parameters with @NonNull and have static checkers running on this stuff, much like ItelliJ and Findbugs are doing it with their proprietary annotations).
- Concurrency and collections updates (see. e.g. yesterday talk by Brian Goetz)
Some features that won't make it into 7:
- Closures
- Operator overloading
JSR 295, Beans Binding
The next talk I went to was titled "Towards a universal VM" with a subtitle of "The JVM is not just for java anymore" and was given by Brian Goetz and Alex Buckley. Brian was first defining VMs and what they provide and how they help you writing new languages, as you don't have to re-invent stuff like garbage collection etc. A big advantage is here, that Objects of different languages running on the same VM can reflectively call each other. Another big advantage is hat the HotSpot compiler has information about the hardware and can profile class usage etc. to optimize the behavior, which is not possible with static compilers. It also just allows for an easy implementation of a new language, as its compiler just needs to create dumb code and the VM will speed it up nevertheless.
As an example of this Brian showed results of the great ruby shootout dec 2008 where JRuby is the fastest Ruby 1.8 implementation.
The VM only has a basic set of features; other stuff (also in Java) needs to be implemented by the compiler ("language fictions"). Some of those fictions are difficult to implement efficiently (like e.g. Open classes in Ruby).

Handing over to Alex: This is why JSR 292 is working on a
invokedynamic bytecode. In addition there will be a MethodHandle that can point to a block of code. But first before getting to this, Alex was explaining why the current version with invokevirtual is slow and not well suited for other more dynamic languages.
The idea behind invokedynamic is to have the VM call in the user language to consult the dispatching for calls and to trust its result to dispatch then. The good part is that this 'boostrap' code only needs to be called once at the start and after this the direct jump can be inlined and optimized. For all the details you really should go to JSR 292 and / or also watch the recording of this session.
Next to this, Brian was back to talk about the other part of JSR 292, Interface injection. This allows you to modify existing classes to have them implement new interfaces. As an example, this would allow to have java.lang.String also implementing GroovyString. This is also implemented through some bootstrap upcall as just seen before.
There are a few other features in JSR 292, that may or may not make it in Java 7.
John Roses blog (JSR 292 spec lead) talks about all this too.
Next for me was the "JBoss SOA platform overview" by my colleague Mark Little. Mark was having some issues with his presentation template; Did I already mention that white text on light blue background is unreadable? :)
Mark was showing an overview slide of all the possible modules and then listed the features of ESB and the SOA-P(latform) product.
Roberto Chinnici was then giving an "Overview over JEE 6". As I wrote a book on EJB-3 in the past and am a user of JEE 5, this was quite interesting for me. Most of the spec parts are now in public review in the JCP. Goals for EE6 are Easier to use, profiles (full EE, web profile), pruning and extensibility. First profile will be the Web profile. In the future profiles will be defined in the JCP. The current spec just defines the rule on how those profile rules need to work.
A good thing is that the spec is now pruning deprecated stuff. Current candidates are JAX-RPC, EJB 2 Entitiy Beans, JAXR, JSR-88. In consequence this means that they (if confirmed) will be optional in EE 7.
Extensibility means that frameworks (e.g. in the Web tier) can come with a built-in description which is read by the container and which will allow those frameworks to be registered in a zero-conf way in the container (-> web fragments, located in META-INF/web-fragment.xml within the framework).
Another change (especially) in the web tier is to move more to the annotation based configuration by exception development mode.
Proposed components for EE 6 are along with minor updates of others:
- Servlet 3.0 - JSR 315
- Connectors 1.6 - JSR 322
- Web Beans 1.0 - JSR-299
- Bean Validation 1.0 - JSR 303
Also new in Servlet 3.0 (next to the fragments) are annotations for servlets and filters (@WebServlet, @ServletFilter). New is also an async API e.g. for Chat room applications. You need to annotate the Servlet with @WebServlet(asyncSupported=true) and can get a AsyncContext from the ServletRequest on which you can operate. It sounds relatively easy, but can have strange effects on servlet filters, so all filters and servlets need to explicitly enable asynchronous behavior by correctly (re)codig them to support it.
Next were the highlights for EJB 3.1 - I will skip those, as I've written an entry about those in the past already. The only new one are global JNDI names for beans in the form of java:global/(app)/(module)/(bean)#(interface)
EJB components can now also be put directly into Web applications (in the war file).
Within EJB there will also be EJB 3.1 lite, which contains: Session Beans, Tx, Security, Interceptors, ejb-jar.xml. This EJB 3.1 lite can be used in JavaSE and there is a bootstrapping API for this and to embed it e.g. in a Servlet container or in unit tests. EJB 3.1 lite will be in the Web profile.
Current proposed contents of a Web Profile would be
- Servlet 3.0
- EJB Lite 3.1
Still controversial are JAX-RS 1.1, Web Beans 1.0 and JSR 303
Estimated release date for EE6 will be around JavaOne 2009
For the last session of the day I peeked at the Hibernate performance tuning session by Volker Bergmann. Volker points out that there is no silver bullet, but some steps that you can follow to diagnose the issues.
Volker was describing those steps starting from the 10000 feet perspective and drilling down into the details.
One of the nice things of being at such a conference is that one meets people. So for me it is/was great to meet my colleagues. But not only this. I was able to speak with the Jetbrains people about some issues I was having with IntelliJ (I am mostly used to Eclipse an IJ does some things just differently) and they helped me solving those. This is just cool - and I start liking IJ just more and more.
With all the Macs, iPhones and iPods used by Java people, this conference looks a lot like an Apple users conference :)
Btw.: There is a nice photo of mine.

One Person Can Make a Difference
Transnistria was a geographic freak but a historic reality. The name was coined by the fascists to designate a territory of about 16,000 square miles for the annihilation of Jews deported from Romania. It was an area situated in southwestern Ukraine, between the River Dniester to the west and the River Bug to the east, the Black Sea to the south, and a line beyond the city of Moghilev-Podolsky to the north.
Trans-Nistra meant "beyond the River Dniester." In Romanian the river is called Nistru. The name Transnistria was decreed into existence by the Romanian dictator, Marshal Ion Antonescu in the summer of 1941. Territorially, Transnistria was the largest killing field in the Holocaust. Many authors refer to it as, "The Romanian Auschwitz."
Romanian Holocaust survivor Felicia Carmelly remembers watching a young mother prick her breast with a pin and feed blood to her starving child. Dr. Carmelly, a psychologist was interned at Transnistria in October 1941 at the age of ten. She and her parents were among hundreds herded from their homes in northeastern Romanian by rifle-bearing Nazis. Not a word was uttered in resistance. She watched as they passed over a river on a bridge, a young mother silently dropped her baby into the river. "We were like stones," Carmelly said. "All of our emotions were killed."
The territory consisted of about 132 Ukrainian towns and villages, the names of which appear on maps of hundreds of hamlets and settlements often too small to be noted. At one point in time these communities could be designated as labour or death camps or at other times transit or concentration camp.
May of those who reached the crossing points alive were simply driven into the river and machine-gunned. However, the majority were transported across the Dniester on bridges, over-crowded barges and rafts. Romanian gendarmes supervised the crossing, while German officers stood by taking photographs.
Until 1994, Carmelly did not talk about her experiences other than to family until a book purchased by her husband fell off the bookcase while cleaning. It was Holocaust related about Romania. For three days she read its contents, recognizing many of the town referred, the names of people from her hometown and the different concentration camps.
The directives concerning the conduct of the deportation operation were drawn up by General Topor in accordance with secret verbal instructions from Antonescu that were transmitted also orally to commanders - usually officers of the Gendarmerie in charge of Jewish convoys. The deportation commenced on September 16, 1941, followed by looting and rape, of which Antonescu disapproved because the peasants were stealing what he now claimed as state property. In Bessarabia, peasants purchased live Jews from the gendarmes for 2,000 lei in order to get their clothes, after which the soldiers shot the Jew.
In 1994, Carmelly began writing an award-winning book: Shattered! 50 Years of Silence, History and voice of the Tragedy in Romania and Transnistria. It was there she survived on scraps of bread in a dirt-floor hut with no running water or bathroom facilities. Her mother and grandmother knitted coarse wool with bleeding infected fingers in exchange for bread. Her grandmother's fingers fell off from gangrene before they were rescued. For three years she forced herself to research, document, accumulate, interview and write, first with a typewriter and later with a computer all she could find on the camps that destroyed the lives of so many. It was not an easy task because little was known about the place where she became an adult, even though still a child in age.
Once on the east side of the river, in Transnistria, soldiers herded the victims - men, women, children, the elderly, sick, crippled and mentally handicapped along muddy dirt roads. They were aimlessly driven from village to village, often back to the previous village and then to the next. One by one, those who could not keep up were shot or beaten to death; their bodies left on the roads or thrown into ditches or mass graves.
"It was like there was this power behind my computer chair, Carmelly said, who quit her practice for the three years it took to assemble her manuscript. "I slept little. I was obsessed. I have a strong feeling that maybe I survived to bear witness to this forgotten chapter of the Holocaust."
Many died of exhaustion, cold hunger and illnesses before they reached the camps. Rampant dysentery killed thousands. People moved about covered in rags and newspapers. Others, having exchanged their clothes for food were naked and barefooted in frosts of 40 degrees below zero. Thousands were taken into fields and forests, ordered to dig enormous mass graves and then shot. Those who dumped the bodies into the graves were also shot when their job was done. Many wounded were buried alive.
Dornanovka - 18,000.
Thousands more were shot along the Bug River.
The publication of Shattered! 50 Years of silence elicited an overwhelming heart warming response. Numerous book reviews appeared in the media in Canada, U.S.A., Israel, Venezuela, Australia and more too numerous to mention.
"This publication is an invaluable contribution to the struggle against the obscurity of the Holocaust in Romania. Anyone interested in Jewish life, history and personal testimonies must read this long-overdue, heartfelt book." Dr. Shmuel Ben-Zion, The Open University of Tel Aviv and The Institute of Holocaust Studies, University of Haifa.

Bloomberg: Death Toll Will Rise
In a press conference in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that the storm's destruction will be felt for quite some time—and it might be the worst the worst the city's ever experienced. He said that the death toll in the city is at 10, but the number is expected to rise. The main priorities are getting the subway system up and running and restoring power—which may take three to four days. Bridges are being cleared and reopened. Con Ed says there has been "unprecedented damage" and there are approximately 750,000 New Yorkers without power.

At least 200,000 people have been evacuated from Java after a powerful volcanic eruption covered Indonesia's main island in smoke and ash.
The huge explosion from Mount Kelud was heard as far away as 200km, with the volcano spewing debris across the island. Officials have raised the alert to its highest level and ordered evacuation of people residing within a 10 km radius. Troops have also been deployed to help residents to vacate the area.
At least two deaths have been reported when a house in Kelud's vicinity collapsed due to the eruption. Fears that the debris could cause severe damage to aircraft as well as low visibility prompted the shutdown of three major airports at Surabaya, Solo and Yogyakarta.
Kelud, located about 730 km from Indonesia's capital Jakarta, is one the 130 active volcanoes in the country prone to deadly earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Scientists have been closely observing the rumbling for several weeks but they did not expect a sudden eruption.
