Richard Dreyfuss received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Glenn Holland, a musician/composer turned high school music teacher, in the wonderful film Mr. Holland's Opus. Holland is forced into retirement when the school board cuts funding for his department. Near the end of the movie, there is a warm scene that always prompts tears from yours truly, as his colleagues and former students present him with a surprise gift. They have gathered in the school's auditorium to pay tribute to him by playing his yet to be publicly presented opus, a musical composition over which he has labored for most of his life. It is the opportunity for these former students to say thank you to a teacher who enriched their lives.
There is a young, rising star on the jazz music scene named Sara Gazarek, who while still in her mid-twenties has shattered all expectations with her debut CD Yours, and her current album Return To You. She has the kind of quality and versatile vocals that send a clear message, and she is hear to stay for probably decades to come. Gazarek points to her high school music education in Seattle as the place where her journey began, and where the seeds were first planted that have continued to inspire her musical creativity. For every high school music teacher or bandleader out there who is fighting for funding of school art and music programs, find hope and encouragement in the words of Gazarek.
"I think everyone has times when you look back at certain moments and you realize if that moment had not happened, your life would be different. For me, it was auditioning for a jazz ensemble at Roosevelt High School. The jazz instructor was so passionate about passing on this jazz education. We weren't just these girls in matching sequin gowns singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." He had us transcribing jazz solos and taught us all about the history and the artists who wrote the songs. Knowing that, and knowing that the only reason I am where I am, is because of that background. It just makes me so grateful and so excited to pass the tradition along,as well," says Gazarek, as she acknowledges the influence of her former high school instructors, Scott Brown (Roosevelt High School), and Clarence Acox (Garfield High School).
Since her days at Southern California University's Thornton School of Music, Gazarek has volunteered her time to give back to the community. She helped create the curriculum for an ongoing program known as JazzReach, and the following year began to teach the same material to inner city elementary school children. Today, despite a rigorous tour schedule and her stature as a critically acclaimed jazz vocalist, Gazarek acts as the sole ambassador for the non-profit organization Music For All. The jazz singer and her band conduct free clinics at schools in the towns and cities where they have gigs. She says, "Everybody in the band understands that we wouldn't be here if it weren't for that one educator, and this is our opportunity to give back."
No doubt, Gazarek's former teachers, including USC's award winning Tierney Sutton, John Clayton, Shelly Berg and Carmen Bradford are proud of the attitude with which Gazarek approaches her craft.
Talking about her studio efforts Gazarek says, "With our first record, Yours, we wanted to make a statement that we are serious jazz musicians who are going to be around for a while. We took a couple of risks, but we also wanted to make something that people would respect, and that they would (consider) us seriously. I think that we built a really solid foundation with that record."
Gazarek and her band comprised of pianist and fellow songwriter Josh Nelson, drummer Matt Slocum and Erik Kertes (bass), bring many musical influences to their music, which resulted in Yours, receiving top ten notice for several categories on a number of charts in America and abroad.
She notes, "I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell, Paul McCartney and a lot of other musicians. Everybody else in the band, even though they have degrees in jazz studies, have many musical influences. It wouldn't be musically genuine for us to deny that. With this record (Return To You), we took it upon ourselves to find songs that we love or to find songs in which we could incorporate the sounds that we love. While Yours featured the Joni Mitchell tune "Circle Game" for Return To You, we looked for another Joni Mitchell tune that we liked, and that one was "Carey."
The Leonard Cohen tune "Hallelujah" appears on the CD Return To You and unveils a sultry side of Gazarek's vocals. There have been numerous covers of the Cohen tune and Gazarek and company wanted to provide a new twist to the song, so they went in search of a rumored, obscure verse penned by the songwriter.
"I started purchasing different versions of Leonard Cohen's song at record stores and at I-Tunes. Every time I sang "Hallelujah" (previously), people would come up to me and say, 'That is so amazing, what is that about? I don't understand it.' The thing that I like about the verse that we found is it really ends the story. I think it leaves the listener with a sense of satisfaction about the songwriter, instead of a sense of longing and wanting to know what it (the song) is about," says Gazarek.
The verse that Gazarek added to "Hallelujah" is the last stanza, which says, "I did my best, it wasn't much / I couldn't feel so I tried to touch, / I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya /"
Gazarek says of the last verse, "It makes it clear that this is about a relationship, and they tried, but just like religion, it cannot be forced. You cannot force faith (or love)."
The singer admits to, "Songs with really intense lyrics appeal to me. Songs like "And So It Goes," which really embody what you feel, songs that simply paraphrase what you are feeling when something happens to you. "And So It Goes," to me, embodies how it feels when you have really screwed up and open up to somebody. "And So It Goes" uses a lot of metaphors, but it still embodies how it feels when there is a change in a relationship. Songs that paraphrase how I feel when something happens to me, or songs that I have a connection with such as one that a camp counselor sang to me, or my mom sang to me when I was growing up, or I went to this person's concert when I was five and I loved the song, (express how I feel)."
While acknowledging that the CD Return To You does indeed provide the listener with an opportunity to experience many facets of her vocal abilities, Gazarek says, "We tried to make a cohesive sound for that record, even if I manipulated my voice to make it sound a little bit different on each tune. If you come to our live shows, it is even more so. We do a lot of up tempo stuff and really hard hitting jazz, as well as some blues. What we really wanted to do with this record (Return To You) is make a set of songs that flowed together. For me, it is about bringing the lyric to life, and a big priority is making the arrangements reflect the message of the songs."
Gazarek and her band are motivated to move people emotionally. "We always want people to hear our music and to be affected by it. We want people to come to our show and walk away feeling that they have experienced something. That is one of my biggest goals," she says.
Gazarek gives a lot of the credit for Return To You's deep emotional base to fellow songwriter Josh Nelson with whom she collaborated on "Let's Try Again," and who solo-penned three other tunes "Just Let Me Be," "Makes Me Feel This Way," and "Without You."
Gazarek comments about Nelson, "When he writes songs, it is always from a really, really, deep place and about something that is going on in his life. What I like most about Josh is he is not just writing a hit or a tacky tune, he is actually writing something to express what he is feeling."
"We were on our second tour date to promote Yours and he (Nelson) got word that a good friend of his in LA had been in a car accident and was in a coma. He wrote "Without You" for him. The way that we came up with the title for the current CD is from the first three words of the song, "return to you," says Gazarek as she sings the lyric from "Without You."
Despite Sara Gazarek's success as a jazz artist, she remains focused on getting better at her craft. Early in her career, some of that motivation came from the fear that she would be a flash in the pan or a one hit artist who would soon disappear from the airwaves. Those who have heard her music are quick to disagree, and for the most part, it appears that Gazarek has laid those fears to rest.
"Because I am so close to my band, I think the only thing that I need to know is we are at peace with each other. As long as I know we are at peace with each other and having a good time, I can go out and have a fabulous show. It is very rare that we cannot go out there, just let loose, have a good time and feel that the audience can walk away knowing that they had a good time too," she says.
You will have a good time as well, whether you attend one of Sara Gazarek's concerts or grab a copy of Yours or her current CD Return To You. Years from now, you will want to be able to say to your friends that you remember listening to her songs at the beginning of her career and knowing even then that you were listening to history in the making.

Woman shot on morning walk with dog
Pasco County sheriff's deputies are investigating a drive-by shooting that injured a 29-year-old woman who was walking her dog Thursday morning. Deputies responded to the shooting near the 5400 block of Front Drive in Forest Hills after a call at 7:36 a.m. Sheriff's Office spokesman Kevin Doll said the woman, identified as Heather Marie Janes, was shot once in the back with a small-caliber weapon, such as a pellet gun or a .22-caliber pistol. Deputies are searching for a black man who was riding in a car driven by a white man. The car is described as a bright blue, four-door sedan with a primer gray rear passenger door. Janes was flown to a local hospital and released later Thursday. Authorities have not released any more details about the circumstances of the shooting.
Accounts traced to burglary suspect
A 28-year-old man is accused of breaking into a home on Pepper Pine Court in the Suncoast Lakes subdivision and stealing items such as a lawn mower, television and ceiling fan. But Michael Mark Salerno IV did the most damage, according to his arrest report, with the personal information he took from the home's owners. The Sheriff's Office says Salerno opened numerous credit accounts in the victims' names and ran up more than $41,000 in charges. Investigators traced some of the credit card activity to an Internet address assigned to Salerno's home and other activity to his cell phone, the report says. The break-in occurred on Nov. 29, 2009, and Salerno, who later moved to Westminster, Mass., used the fraudulent accounts until October 2010, the report says. He is charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, grand theft and two counts of identity theft. He remained jailed Thursday in lieu of $22,000 bail.

Penn State recruits sticking by their commitments
Six recruits meet and decide they're sticking with Penn State.
At least six Penn State recruits plan on sticking by their commitments despite the recent NCAA sanctions against the school.
The group got together with Penn State coach Bill O'Brien on Saturday, and after their meeting they've all decided that they're going to stay.
"Yes, we are all one hundred percent committed," said tight end Adam Breneman, a five-star recruit out of Champ Hill, Pa.
The we Breneman referred to are wide receiver Will Fuller, quarterback Christian Hackenberg, defensive lineman Garrett Sickels, and offensive linemen Brendan Mahon and Andrew Nelson.
Given the scholarship restrictions and postseason ban at Penn State, there have been a lot of questions about whether or not Bill O'Brien would be able to recruit good players to State College.
As part of the NCAA penalties Penn State is only allowed to offer 15 scholarships a year to incoming freshmen. Non-sanctioned schools are allowed to hand out 25, which puts Penn State at an obvious disadvantage.
One that Bill O'Brien isn't having any trouble dealing with at the moment.

Have you ever wanted something from someone knowing all along you were being totally selfish and unfair in wanting it?
Sort of, I suppose.
Thank you and I will.
I think so...
We both know we are soulmates. It is US. But since we are 600 miles apart, we agreed not to wait for each other, even tho deep inside parts of us always will. So, he has a girlfriend. But every time we see each other, we get tempted to go further than best friends should. Also, we text each other everyday and sometimes our conversation goes where it is not supposed to. I feel guilty because he is TAKEN now, even tho I know we are just made for each other.
I am experiencing the same, ****** up ! cant stand the thought he could be with someone else but at the same time i know that i wont be here for him and love him endlessly anyway..
it does hurt.. i suppoose that the best thing to do now would be just stop thinking about that someone and move on, because time can heal every wound and all the pain we fell now will dissapear.. but now is now and now its hard.
Nah... I just wanted the truth from my mom.

She waited 40 years to tell me and soon after I

found my dad, I was burying him. He died 2 months

after we had met.
Love can only be described as bipolar, i have no idea what kind of situation your in but i feel the same way. The only thing to do is be honest and do what is right for her. Just try your best, things will work itself out.
Yes like asking money from Dad all the time
yes but honest, that was called childhood... now the only thing I want is to live my own life and protect the ones I love
I give my best
no because a relationship is about sharing! sure wished you thought about that when you first met her! so sad she does not know!
Most definitely...understandable. Been there. Just get it out of your system without harming others if you can.
If I assume that she is attached...or you are attached too...may I suggest writing a song for her...somehow secretly letting her know you are the author. The whole harming others thing....don't want to do that.

There ought to be a "Linux Printing" forum
In the same way that LQ has a linux-networking forum, there ought to be a linux printing forum. It is an ongoing problem with linux and it would make sense to group all those posts together.
I've done ~ 5 Linux installs in the last 2 years, and printing was not a significant issue with any....
You are most fortunate. While I agree it's not the problem it used to be, neither is networking. But when it goes bad, it really goes bad.
I've done 10 linux installs in the past two years, and printing was a problem in half of them ... although only today has it been absolutely maddening.
Feel free to share my pain. The exact problem is here:
---------- Post added 05-16-12 at 06:16 PM ----------
Perhaps Printing & Scanning. They seem to go hand and hand.
cwizardone -- I like your printing and scanning idea. It casts a bigger net, and both are problematic peripherals ...

The New York City Department of Education has sent a list of words to companies bidding to revamp the city's standardized tests. The words are considered to be inappropriate and make some people uncomfortable. Among them: dinosaur, pepperoni and dancing. Seriously.
Dinosaur: not everyone accepts the theory of evolution. Pepperoni: junk food. Dancing: well, anyone who's watched teens dance these days knows why that one is a problem. The real issue is we're living in a society of double speak. Nothing means what it's supposed to mean, but that's OK as long as everyone is happy. That brings me to the FAA.
Speaking before the Air Charter Safety Symposium not too long ago, John Allen, FAA Flight Standards Service Director, told the group he's been changing the culture within the Flight Standards Service. I didn't attend the symposium, but when I read about what he'd said I briefly had a vision of Don Quixote jousting with a 10-foot-high stack of unabridged Federal Aviation Regulations.
"This includes changing the enforcement policy to encourage inspectors to first work out minor issues with operators when possible rather than immediately jumping to an enforcement action," he said. "This can instead become a nurturing exercise."
Nurturing exercise? Exactly what alternative universe is Allen living in? Is nurturing the new word for using a rubber hose on someone? He continued, "…this is not an attempt by the agency to befriend the industry. We are not friends," he said. Thank goodness, for a second I was afraid the agency charged with promoting aviation might actually like the industry; I'm glad we got that straightened out.
It was reported that Allen went on to say the mission of enabling aviation is critical because if the agency doesn't foster growth of the industry, then it could wither. "Then what do we got? Nothing," he said.
It was all very confusing but reminiscent of the "friendlier FAA" wave that periodically roars through aviation like a tidal wave of good cheer only to be replaced with the traditional, "Book 'em Dano" mentality. Not to say there haven't been some great guys in the FAA.
When I took my airframe mechanic practical in 1972 the moment of truth arrived when the inspector, "Pop" Shaeber, asked to see my welding project. I didn't have one; I couldn't get cement to stick together, let alone a cluster of five steel pipes with a welding torch.
"It's not that hard," he said as he put two straight cut pieces of steel in front of me. "Just run a lap joint for me. Surely you can do that."
I accidentally turned the torch toward him, splattering him with molten steel and igniting his shirt. He patted out the flame, took the torch from me very gently, turned it off, slowly put it down and asked in a whisper not unlike Don Corleone in The Godfather, "What are you going to do after graduation?"
"I'm going to be a professional pilot," I said with some trepidation.
"Not a mechanic? You're never going to work on an airplane? You will never, ever try to weld anything on an airplane?"
"No," I replied.
"You passed," he said.
When I was flying for "Watcha" McCollum a few years later, Jay Stair, one of the local FAA inspectors, was a lone island in a sea of ex-military FAA inspectors who conducted inspections as if you were in Army Ranger School.
I was ferrying a Cessna 310 with landing-gear problems to a shop where we had our work done. The gear collapsed on touchdown and transformed the Cessna into the world's largest paperweight. I got out and was about to walk to the office to call Mac with the bad news when Jay drove up. He had just arrived at the airport to administer a check ride to someone.
"Hey Lombardo," he said as he pulled up next to me on the taxiway. "What happened? I just got here."
"Haven't a clue, Jay; just got here myself," I replied.
He chewed on that for a second, realized he'd been had, laughed and said, "Try to be a little less creative with the report."
Somehow I don't see either of those conversations going the same way in the new, nurturing FAA.
With far too much regularity I hear how FAA inspectors have descended like locusts upon operators, often small mom-and-pop businesses with limited resources to defend themselves. There is no presumption of innocence until proven guilty; no "Hi, I'm from the FAA, I'm here to help you" mentality. The worst ones are administrative in nature, nothing more than improper paperwork, yet the action has destroyed businesses even though some have subsequently been found to be not guilty of anything.
For an agency whose "critical" mission is to promote aviation, the FAA is more like the epoxy that lubricates the wheels of progress. New York should add nurturing to its list of words that make people uncomfortable; a lot of people in aviation find the FAA's nurturing to be very uncomfortable.

Ciênc. saúde coletiva [online]. 2010, vol.15, suppl.1, pp.1673-1684. ISSN 1678-4561. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-81232010000700079.
This study investigated the ethics of qualitative research by using bibliographic research. Data were collected in scientific articles from a Brazilian journal of collective health and the access to the sources was electronic. It were analyzed 117 articles of qualitative research which corresponded to 23.49% of the total production of the journal from 01/1998 to 03/2007. The information collected was organized considering the identification, themes/object, theoretical referential, methodology and ethical aspects involved. The analysis proposed a discussion based on what the researchers express about ethics on their qualitative studies when it comes to two different kinds of relation: between the researchers and their research-subject and with their co-workers. The conclusions brought up many issues to be discussed on the daily routine of the research activity and that demands exposition and openness to criticism. There is also an urge to think what the "said" and the "unsaid" can reveal underneath the obedience to the rules, launching to the process of maturing and to the theoretical consistence of the researchers, especially in the ethical dimension of the researching activity. A huge part of those challenges are of direct responsibility of the institutions which are in charge of the researcher's formation.

Herbal Healing With Ciara O'Meara
Wednesday, 7 January 2009
Feeling tired, sluggish, and in need of any energy boost? Don't worry, our herbalist Ciara O'Meara has just the remedy for you.
Ciara O'Meara - Medical Herbalist
I have a long standing interest in natural medicine. From a young age I found myself allergic to antibiotics, this prompted a proactive approach to preventative medicine, ensuring that through diet and exercise I was always doing my best to stay healthy.
I completed an honours Science degree in University College Dublin in 1997 followed by an MSc in Medical Genetics at Aberdeen University. I then spent a number of years working in the field of academic research in areas such as The Human Genome Project at Oxford University, UK, and on Cancer research at Cancer Research UK. It was during this time that I took up a yoga practice and further cultivated an interest in holistic medicine.
First hand experience of successfully using herbal medicine prompted me to pursue an interest in the subject. I soon realised that this interest was part of a much broader, richer and complex area of natural medicine which required dedicated study to appreciate both its subtleties and power. To deepen my knowledge on the subject and acquire the ability to confidently use it as a health professional I completed a four year degree at Westminster University in London.
This University is a long established centre for excellence in the training of medical herbalists. Its facilities encompass a central London clinic for herbal medicine where members of the public can avail of treatment. This is where I completed 500 hours of clinical training as part of my degree, treating members of the public from young to old with a range of illnesses. This was an integral part of the educational programme, in the interests of maintaining a high level of safe practice. This training included differential diagnosis of illness up to a high standard of training clinically on par with that of a GP
Today we are looking at Energy Boosting Herbs:
Beta vulgaris
Beetroot juice is jam packed with multi vitamins and minerals. Recent research has found it to be of substantial benefit in reducing blood pressure. Beetroot is a superb blood cleanser; it also contains numerous minerals including selenium and vitamins A, C, E and flavonoids. It is primarily full of antioxidants, which mop up damaging toxins throughout the body. Beetroot also helps the body to break down fats. (May produce red/pink urine and stool this is natural and nothing to worry about!).
Betaine one of the active ingredients in beetroot can help the body regenerate an important cellular antioxidant enzyme called methionine reductase which is used by the body to prevent a build-up of homocystine a biochemical which has been associated with many chronic illnesses including cardiovascular disease among others.
Beetroot juice can be bought bottled at your local health food store or juiced from raw, or eaten cooked, although many of the vitamins are lost in the cooking process.
Cyanara scolymus
Artichoke is a great detoxicant via the digestive system, especially useful after the indulgence of the festive season. It has been found to help lower cholesterol; it is considered a liver remedy by boosting the power of the liver the entire system is energised.
Its main action is stimulating the secretion of bile the body's natural laxative; in this regard it can be useful where digestive troubles can be accompanied by feelings of fullness or nausea which can sometimes be related to poor liver function.
Artichoke juice can be purchased in your local health food store, directions as per product.
Elleutherococcus senticosus
Siberian ginseng is less stimulating than Panax ginseng and should not be confused with it!
It is a much used herb in the treatment of stress and fatigue. It can improve mental and physical stamina. It is known as an adaptogen this means it raises the body's ability to deal with stresses.
Caution should be exercised in patients with a history of heart complications speak to your local medical herbalist. At normal dosage Siberian ginseng is a very safe herb.
It can be taken as a tincture or capsule.

Duke back atop AP poll, NC State falls to No. 18
Posted January 21, 2013
Following losses last week by previously No. 1 Louisville and No. 2 Indiana, Duke reclaimed the top spot in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll by a slim margin over Michigan.
Despite playing just one game last week, a 16-point win over Georgia Tech, the Blue Devils garnered 39 first place votes while Michigan claimed 11 nods for the top spot. The teams are separated by just 39 points in the poll. AP men's college basketball poll
Duke held the top spot for four weeks earlier this season before being upset by NC State at PNC Arena on Jan 12.
NC State's week got off to a rough start as their hangover following the Duke win translated into a loss at Maryland. The Wolfpack (15-3, 4-1 ACC) rebounded Sunday by beating Clemson and are slotted at No. 18 this week, a 4-spot drop from last week.
Miami (13-3, 4-0 ACC) cracked the Top 25 for the first time this season, entering the poll at No. 25. The Hurricanes sit alone atop the ACC as the only unbeaten in conference play and will host Duke on Wednesday.
Kansas (16-1, 4-0 Big 12), following wins last week against Baylor and at Texas, is tied at the No. 3 spot with Syracuse (17-1, 5-0 Big East). Louisville fell to No. 5, Indiana to No. 7. Arizona (16-1, 4-1 Pac 12) slides up to the No. 6 position.
Four teams dropped from the rankings this week - San Diego State, UCLA, Marquette and Illinois - allowing for newcomers Ole Miss, Cincinnati and Wichita State to join Miami.
North Carolina (12-5, 2-2 ACC) received three votes.
The Big 10 again led the way with five teams in the top 25. The ACC, SEC and Big East all placed three teams in the latest poll.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston recently went on vacation to Yosemite National Park to celebrate Brad's 38th birthday.
Glamour and glitz suffered a meltdown as the lovebirds frolicked in the snow with family and friends in honor of Brad's special occasion, December 18. They had a mountain of fun, roughing it for four days — snuggling in their cozy bungalow, lugging their own groceries, and even riding a public shuttle bus.
Jennifer, 32, is looking forward to starting a family and the romantic solitude set the perfect scene for an avalanche of love.
The lovely lady enhanced the mood with flower power — giving Brad a bedroom filled with lilacs for his birthday — plus a $100,000 jeweled platinum watch.
The "Friends" beauty and the "Ocean's 11" star drove Jennifer's Range Rover to their mountain love nest four hours north of Los Angeles. They arrived on December 17 and returned home to TinselTown on December 20 — logging more snow time than the Abominable Snowman.
To see the exclusive pictures of Jennifer and Brad frolicking in the snow, pick up a copy of The ENQUIRER — on sale now at newsstands everywhere.

My dear friend has been fighting cancer for the last six months
so please say a little prayer for her
You can get back up again
Written By Dean Masciarelli
December 1, 2009
We all face challenges
every single day
Yet some situations
worse then others
So try not to let the
things knock you down
And if life try's
to knock you down
Remind yourself
you can get
back up again
I have learned that
from a friend of mine
Who's life is
hanging on a limb
And Her situation
Started over
five years ago
When she was told
that she had cancer
And it didn't look
very promising
But some how by
the grace of God
She lived
And then she was
with cancer again
And this time it
was breast cancer
And the doctor told her
that in order for her to live
That she had to
have her breast removed
And she thought
about it for awhile
And she made
the decision
That her life was
more important
So she told the doctor
Take my breast off
Because if it means
that I can live longer
I will fight with
all my might
until the very end
Yet she hasn't
been doing well
Because of all
chemo treatments
But yet she still
takes the time
to remind me often
That life is
for the living
So try to live each and
every day to the fullest
Because none of us
are promised tomorrow
So do your best
to live for today
And live every moment
as if it were your last

I'm lost hurt and angry
Why did you take his life
I want, No I need to know
Tell me, Tell me why
I deserve to know
Haven't you done enough to him
What'd he ever do to you
He suffered his whole life
Suffered more than anyone deserved
Tell me, Tell me why you did it
I have a right to know
Why'd you let him born to them
Born to worthless parents
Parents who didn't care
They threw him away like garbage
Pawned him off on someone else
Tell me, Tell me why
Explain how you could do that
You gave him Polio
You let others treat him like disease
You took away the full use of his legs
You warped his hand and foot
Tell me, Explain to me why
I deserve to know
You let others think he was crazy
You let it go on for over year
You didn't stop it, Why
Tell me, Give me your reason
Answer me God, Help me to understand
You go and make matters worse
You gave him Cancer
You didn't give him a chance to fight back
You just jerked him away from us
Tell me, Tell me how
How you could be so cruel
How can others not question you
When others do it, It's murder
But when it's by your hand
It's your will, Their fate
Tell me, What makes you so different
Your no better than the demons knocking at the door
You heard me beg and plead
You know I'm not afraid to die
I was willing to carry it all for him
I was willing to take my Daddy's place
You didn't even let me say Goodbye
Tell me, Tell me why I couldn't take his place
Answer me God, you owe me that much

I've flown beyond caring
through mountains of calm
My worries, have all gone away
I know you'll be safe
As I travel through time
and God's there to watch you each day
I'll visit the places
I've seen in my mind
And the faces, I've known through the years
I'll remember the loved ones
I left far behind
with their smiles, their laughter and tears
Oh I know you'll be safe
as I travel through time
And God's there to show me the way
I'll visit the places
I've seen in my mind
and I'll remember my loved ones that way.....

Time moves on,
and soon will tell,
when asked for whom
they ring the bell…
Forty lived
…and forty lost,
you left before twilight.
When it's half as much,
at twice the cost,
you'll bask
in perfect light…
We live in castles
…made of sand,
we come as a stranger,
but leave as a friend…
Remember now,
your last first kiss,
those times will be
profoundly missed…
Your smile indeed
could cast a spell.
You learned to
play a bad hand well…
With all our hopes
and dreams in tow,
we are old too quick,
and wise too slow.
Life's an elaborate
complex dance...
Would you live again,
if you had the chance?

Jimmy, you beat it once
but now it's back, full force
Now we shall see the power of prayer
to remove the threatening dark horse
Cancer is a vile disease
we were with you then
and we are with you now
to practice the power of prayer
Though this time is not as the last
for one who is in Priestly study,
to show compassion as a friend
and pray as a theology student
yes one can do both, perhaps
that may make it more powerfull
that power of prayer, that we share
I want you to know that it is there
you beat it once with the power of prayer, you can do it again.
May the Lord grasp that cancer and pluck it from your body, and bring you back
to the wholeness you were, for yourself and Linda my Q10, my best friend.......
In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit We Pray.............

O LORD for great pain
Cruel suffering caused
Fierce threat they present
Slash each cancer mass
Leah's body from
Let not one escape
Please do not relent
Toxic chemo drugs
Poison tumor thugs
Poison tumor thugs
Body's soldier cells
Target and destroy
Traitor cancer cells
May her capillaries'
Life-nourishing blood
From them be withheld
All to waste away
Starving each to death
Hot radiation fire
To ash blast them all
To ash blast them all
Each one sterilize
Not to multiply
Vicious malignancies
Banish far to Hell
Down deep them exile
To bottomless pit
Drag them captive all
To lake of fire burn
Opposite set guards
Against all of them
To never escape
To never escape
Or wreak harm again
Nurses and doctors
And medical staff
Who for Leah care
Grant marvelous skill
O LORD we pray you
Wisdom bless research
This plague to destroy
Ever slay our foe
It totally smash
Nevermore to hurt
LORD grant divine peace
All understanding past
Leah and Devon
Your mercy await

Dread news silent face
She turned her eyes to heaven
Sharing earth's sad waste
Fear choking the unspoken
The prayer howls for fresh grace
Time crumbles heavily now
She waits diseased, and unbowed
Sister gone, I still
In love recalls wound and strength
That savaged our will
I bore most who loved you most
In weakness trembling my thoughts
How sin could wrought upon us
This dire malady in dust
I offer you all
A hand who tremble to bare
The indignant gall
Of cancer flooding our stare
A dear in the headlights glare
I tremble with you, its all
Each is alone gainst this wall.

I am a walking contradiction
There is no restriction
I use my own benediction
I still believe in Jesus and crucifixion
My life has no jurisdiction
I am definitely not a musician
I live by my own intuition
I don't have a drug addiction
I am in no sense a politician
Guaranteed a limited addition
Difficult by definition
The hell with superstition
I do have a crazy ambition
That one day there is no partition
And we need no permission
No one has ammunition
There is no prescription
No one lives in a disposition
All can see their own reflection
There is no opposition
And we don't have a juxtaposition

Radiation they said, could be deadly
if used right, it may save your life
That tumor you have, that's on your left lung
cannot be removed with a knife
They said it is pressed, very close to your heart
with even a "nick" you could die
There's only one option, it has to be nuked
five doses turned up really high
Side effects? Yes there can be many
and continue for more than a year
Making you think, you are still on the brink
and you just can't get rid of the fear
Your mind must be occupied daily
with distractions that take you away
You lay down to sleep and reality's back
this is the time you can pray
Uninterrupted you take all your prayers
and keep them close by in your mind
Use them to carry you through the next day
your prayers may be answered you find.....
patiently I have sewn
smaller and smaller circles
chanting a prayer,
to protect you
on your journey,
to carry you
through the tough times,
its the sound of nature
I send to soothe your pain,
and to bind you
in our love.
I cast this net,
hoping to bring you
back to us
and as my last stitch
threads through,
and wings are attached
to my heart,
I spirit it away
to rest with you
until you return,
smiling in our eyes
for a friend battling Cancer ... shes been a tremendous
support to me through my own illness

My brother is suffering;
And Lord, so am I.
I am sorry;
But, my Lord, I must ask...
Why should someone so generous
battle so very hard?
Why should his life, Lord,
be so very scarred?
Heal him Lord;
I beg of You,
despite my disbelief.
Take the cancer from him,
Save us all this Grief.
Show us all Your Mercy,
As only You can do.
Return him to good health Lord,
I place my trust in You.

Here I sit and ponder
of the things that could have been.
If only I had a crystal ball,
then I could see clearly through this wall.
Sitting still and all alone,
she approached me in the center of the room.
It was Love at first sight,
as we kissed all night.
As sick as she was she did not show it,
everyday she improved.
We did not let it beat her.
A prayer a day is all we had to say.
Everyday our Love for each other grew.
The enjoyment each one of us had
showed that we could not be inseparable.
When she stood by your side,
we had nothing to hide.
There were times that were rough and long,
But, our Love for each other made us very strong.
One day we noticed a lump,
which grew as quickly as our Love did
The time grew as quick as a month.
How much time was left was the question now.
Plus, how do you tell you faithful companion a final goodbye.
As she lay on the floor we heard a whimpering sound.
With only enough strength to look into your eyes,
we knew it was time to say our goodbyes.
How do you tell the companion of your life,
who was closer than your wife.
That she had Cancer and that it had spread,
And that in a month she would be Dead.
Your faithful companion your family pet.
In our case Ruff was her name.
The dog that would stand bye your side,
whether she was sick or lame.
I could not stand and see her take her last breath.
I looked into her eyes and there we had a final kiss.
She appeared to stare and say why?
I really wish I knew why they had to Die.

[Within His Hands]
I'm buried in the trenches
Without any escape
I need your hand there
To calm the awake
You silence a fear that runs through me to the core
You quietly whisper
Upon dawn's early four
As I release for my own good
I look to you and it's understood
That sometimes your shoulders will bear my tears
While knowing of prayers that God only hears
You comfort me the best way you know how
By letting me sob, shake, scream, and shout
I'm not quite sure when this haunting will end
But I'm grateful to know, you'll understand where I've been

My neighbor's wife is battling cancer and she needs your prayers.
Please show her that you want her to get better, please show that you care.
Her name is Jane Webb and she's undergoing chemotherapy.
She needs prayers from you and she needs prayers from me.

Too young for bars, but thirsty.
Uncle Reggie owned a beer joint so
we went in and had beers carte blanche.
He was upstairs dying of cancer.
We went up for an impromptu visit.
He and his woman in a small room.
He was in bed weak with sickness.
We made small talk then escaped.
We went downstairs; one for the road.
Everything I drank then tasted bitter.
One day we'll all be in that bed upstairs.
May God rest all of our souls. Amen

Sony Ericsson's experimental hub Xperia Studio recently collaborated with photographer and inventor Joergen Geerds to shoot an impressive 360° panoramic video of the Slickrock trails in Moab, Utah. Check out the cool results in the video above!
Xperia Studio also met up with Joergen and software engineer Daniel Finkler to find out how they solved the hardware and software challenges involved. More videos and information about this are available after the jump.
To create the video, the team sync'd together six Xperia™ neo phones and mounted them to the handlebars of a bike. As no cradle existed for that many neo phones, Joergen had to build one from scratch, using an Ultimaker 3D printer. You can play with the interactive 360° video on XperiaStudio.com.
Of course, shooting a 360° video using six Xperia™ phones isn't a simple job, and that's where software engineer Daniel Finkler came in. Daniel wrote the Android app that allowed the phones to talk to each other and to trigger the video recording. Watch the interview with Daniel below to find out more about how he pulled it off.

Application of Wavelet Packet Analysis for Speech Synthesis
Wavelets are mathematical functions that cut up data into different frequency components, and then study each component with a resolution matched to its scale. They have advantages over traditional Fourier methods in analyzing physical situations where the signal contains Discontinuities. Wavelet packet analysis is analysis the different entropy of voice signal. Wavelets are functions that satisfy certain mathematical requirements and are used in representing data or other functions. The fundamental idea behind wavelets is to analyze, according to scale. Indeed, some researchers in the wavelet field feel that, by using wavelets, one is adopting a whole new mindset or perspective in processing data.

Swish! That sound is probably the best you will ever hear in a basketball game. If the ball's shot from behind the arc, it's a visual treat as well. There's something magical about a player rising up and popping the ball right into the net from 23 feet out. Even those critics who say that this shot is a liability would have to agree with that.
Apart from the dunk, the 3-point shot is one of the deadliest and most damaging shots in the game. But quite contrary to the impact it causes, the shot is filled with grace and poise on the part of the shooter. There are many players in the league who shoot 3′s on a regular basis. However, there are few players who cause the entire opposition and it's fans to groan in desperation when they gather their shot from behind the arc. This list comprises of the top 5 deadliest 3 point shooters in the league right now.
5. Steve Nash
Steve Nash. The name triggers just one thing in the minds of every basketball fan – passing. Delicious dimes. However, this guy is a vastly underrated 3 point shooter, mainly because he excels at dropping assists. Nash has shot a career average of 43% from beyond the arc. This shows that he is as consistent a 3 point shooter in the game as anyone.
He has scored over 5000 points from beyond the arc over a 16-year career. In fact, 30% of his points have come from there. His APG has come down drastically from previous seasons, while his 3 point shooting still continues to be strong. In fact, he's the main reasons the Los Angeles Lakers's 3 point shooting didn't completely stink. The main reason for Nash being on this list is his consistency and his ability to knock down 3′s like they are pieces of cake, even at the ripe old age of 39.
This 2-time MVP is now 39-years-old. His impending (I have thinking that for years now) retirement will have a tremendous impact on the game, not just as an exceptional point guard, but as a brilliant 3 point shooter.
4. Mike Miller
When he isn't sitting on the bench suffering from one ailment after another, Mike Miller is one of the best 3 point shooters in the league today. He has suffered from ankle, back and hernia problems this season, which has limited his presence to just 59 games.
Miller's best examples of 3 point shooting this season came in the playoffs. In Game 2, Spoelstra switched Miller for Battier and Miller drained 3/3 three pointers, which provided the edge needed. Miller played a major role in helping the Heat secure the championship. His injuries have prevented him from achieving his full potential.
He has a career average of 41% from behind the arc. He scored more than 60% in one season and over 40% seven times. He has secured 42% of his total points from 3 pointers. Spoelstra and Heat would be hoping that after the off-season, Miller would be back to his full potential and help them in their title defence.
3. Kyle Korver
There are not many things Kyle Korver is good at. He's a small forward and at 6'7″ is ideal for it. However, this guy can shoot. And he's very good at it.
Korver is no scorer. He's a shooter. As simple as that. Korver is one of the few guys who would drain a shot for sure if left open. He has taken part in a lot of 3 point shooting contests too.
He ranked second in the league in 3p% and 4th in the number of 3 pointers made. He made 189 3-pointers at .457 efficiency. The former Chicago Bulls small forward now plays for Atlanta Hawks. His mere shooting ability has landed him the number three spot on this list.
2. Ray Allen
He's the best 3 point sniper of this generation. The deadliest shooter in the league is also one of the oldest players in the league. Ray Allen's legendary status as a 3 pointer shooter is no secret. He holds the all time record for most number of 3 pointers made. Allen didn't have the best year of his career when it comes to 3 point shooting. He ranked number 11 in 3p% (.419). However, he made the most important 3 point shot of the year.
It was Game 6 of the NBA finals. The Heat were trailing by 3 points with less than 10 seconds on the clock. LeBron James took a 3, missed it and Chris Bosh collected the rebound. And who was open at exactly the right spot at the right time? Allen. Bosh passed it to Allen who coolly dropped the shot as if it was a practice game. No pressure, guys. That shot sent them in to overtime which made sure that Heat got another game, another shot at the title.
Ray Allen is 38 years old and he will retire soon. However, until his last game, we know that Allen will do what he does best: Provide clutch 3s calmly, and then celebrate like a maniac after they fall. His retirement will be a great loss to the game.
1. Stephen Curry
One of the best budding players of the NBA, Stephen Curry fits the traditional 3 point shooting, offensive, guard like a glove. He's 6'3″, slight, light on his feet, quick and has one of the most graceful shooting forms in the league.
Curry's reputation of shooting 3 pointers at an incredible rate preceded his entry into the league. Irrespective of the level of play, he has made the region behind the arc his home territory. Curry has steadily improved his 3 point shooting from .437 in his rookie year to .455 last season. He ranked number 1 in 3 pointers made and number 3 in 3p%. Curry is also the key player of the Golden State Warriors. They would be hoping that his form will continue into the next season.
Being just 25, Curry has a lot of time and potential left in him. He could probably attain the heights of Reggie Miller or Steve Kerr or Ray Allen when it comes to 3 point shooting, provided his ankles and back remain injury free. His fans would certainly hope so.

Showcase Your Company and Promote Your Brand
Step-by-step guide shows you how.June 3, 2010
by Barry MacQuarrie, CPA
In my April and May articles, I discussed how CPAs and CPA firms can use LinkedIn to build a community of customers, employees, vendors, referral sources and fans. Now, it's time to look at Facebook.
Facebook offers two options to an organization that is looking to build a community. First, they allow companies to create a Facebook Page. In addition, a company can set up a group within Facebook. This article will outline the features of Facebook Pages.What Is a FaceBook Page?
The Facebook help center describes a Facebook Page as "Pages are for organizations, businesses, celebrities and bands to broadcast great information in an official, public manner to people who choose to connect with them."
Facebook Pages are similar to personal profiles and have the following features:
A Facebook Page is maintained by an administrator who has the ability to control the settings and applications for the Page. One example of the administrator's control involves the Page's Wall. The administrator can determine who can write on the Page's Wall. An organization that is using a Facebook Page to broadcast their corporate message may restrict the ability of their fans to post on their Wall. However, another company may encourage fan interaction by allowing fans to post to their Wall.
The Administrator can also control the applications that appear on their Page and who has access to the applications. For example, the administrator can determine if the Links application will appear on their Page and if fans are allowed to posts Links. Again, this allows the company to control if the Page is being used to broadcast a message to their fans or to allow fans to interact with their Page.
The administrator can also set the default tab that is used when a person clicks on a Facebook Page, i.e. the landing page. This important feature can be used to direct all visitors to an advertisement about your product or company.
I recently saw a company that used the "What's New" tab as their default tab. The "What's New" tab shows information about the company's new summer products and included a link to follow them on Twitter. Now, how smart is that! Not only is the company engaging their fans using a Facebook Page, they are making it simple for their Facebook fans to connect to them on Twitter. The company has multiple ways to reach every fan and it's all free!
This company has figured how to build a community using Facebook Pages. At the time I wrote this article, they had over 233,000 fans!Getting Started With Facebook Pages
It is easy to add a Facebook Page for your company. If you have a Facebook profile, you can navigate to http://www.facebook.com/pages to get started. From here you can:
To add a new page, simply click the Create Page button. You can use this to create an "Official Page" for a business, brand, product organization, artist, band or public figure. In addition, you can create a "Community Page" that allows you to "generate support for your favorite cause or topic". If you are building an Official Page, you will be asked to confirm that you are an "official representative of this person, business, brand or product" and that you "have permission to create this Page."
Once the page is created, you can use the Info tab to add content that includes a link to your Website, a Company Overview, a Mission and a list of products. You can use the Page's wall to post updates information for your customers and updates about your company.
People will find your Page by using the search tool or by seeing information about it on a friend's personal page. Once they have found your Page, they can click the LIKE button to connect to your Page. Their name will appear in the "People Like This" section of your Page and they will receive updates from you.
Once you have built a Facebook Page for your business, remember that it is very important to update it frequently. You must keep your community of fans engaged by providing with meaningful and timely information.
I hope this article provides you with ideas about how you can use a Facebook Page to connect with your fans, showcase your company and promote your brand.

Talk to your doctor to see if you happen to be deficient in any probiotics. You will have to fix any deficiencies first thing.
Include more manganese in your daily diet. This nutrient promotes strong bones and rapid healing. Manganese can also help the body metabolize carbs, proteins as well as cholesterol. This are available in cereals, almonds, and black and green teas. You can also find manganese supplements in probiotics stores and online.

Eating vegetables steamed or raw is the perfect method. Raw vegetables are certainly not depleted of nutrients. If you need to cook vegetables, steaming them helps keep the probiotics locked in while still providing an excellent consistency. Vegetables that are flash frozen are loaded with nutrients, therefore you should not overcook them.

Getting the best probiotics and prebiotics for you will help with over just your inner body. It also leaves you looking great.

Boulder, Colo. (UPI) Dec 17, 2008
U.S. scientists say contrary to earlier projections, few developing countries will be able to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions for several decades.
The study by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University of Colorado warns continuing economic and technological disparities will make it more difficult than anticipated for developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and that underscores the challenges that poorer nations face in trying to adapt to global warming.
"There is simply no evidence that developing countries will somehow become wealthier and be in a position to install more environmentally friendly technologies," said Patricia Romero Lankao, an NCAR sociologist and lead author of the study. "We always knew that reducing greenhouse gas emissions was going to be a challenge, but now it looks like we underestimated the magnitude of this problem."
As a result, most industrialized nations, as well as developing countries with growing economies, are increasing their emissions of carbon dioxide, the researchers said. Overall, global emissions grew at an annual rate of 1.3 percent during the 1990s and at 3.3 percent from 2000 to 2006.
The study, funded by the National Science Foundation, appears in the journal Climate Research.

Ninety-three dogs and five exotic birds were seized from a private residence in Maricopa, Ariz., in what officials called an "extreme" case of animal hoarding.
"The floors were covered in fecal matter. There was a soiled mattress with exposed springs that the owners were sleeping on. At some point there was a fire at the site and there was a hole in the roof that had a tarp over it," Heather Murphy, spokesperson for Pinal County told ABCNews.com. "It was the most awful living conditions I have ever seen."
Officials received an anonymous tip on Tuesday and began removing the animals from the home and placing them in a shelter, which is now running over capacity.
"The immediate crisis we're in now is we have to house all of the animals. They have to be checked by a vet before they can be placed for adoption," Murphy said.
After each of the animals is examined by a veterinarian, the findings will be passed along to the county attorney, who will make a determination regarding whether the owners will face animal cruelty charges
"Some of them looked to be in pretty good shape, health wise," Murphy said. "We hope we can make the adoptable and place them in great homes."

Something is in the air and it is little boy baby showers. We have had a so many lately and all of them but one were for little boys. It must be something in the water.
Last Saturday we catered a baby shower brunch for proud parents of a baby boy. So it was "all out" in blue. Served for this occasion was fresh fruit salad served on a bed of spring greens, parmesean cheese grits with delicious shrimp and sauce and rolly rounds (bread).
Congratulations to the families of this sweet baby boy!
Later that afternoon, at Sweet Gum Bottom Reception Center, we kept the "all out" in blue theme going for yet another family expecting a baby boy. It is so sweet to see friends and families supporting new parents and showering them with blessings for a new born baby.

Windows.Networking.Socket - How to get read/write events?
This is regarding Windows::Networking::Socket namespace. I see in SimpleSocket sample how we used SocketStream, InputStream, and OutputStream, etc.
In my legacy app, where I use WIN32 socket, I detect read/write events of a connected socket and dispatch the event to corresponding event listeners. In particular, I use this Win32 api:
DWORD WSAWaitForMultipleEvents( __in DWORD cEvents, __in const WSAEVENT *lphEvents, __in BOOL fWaitAll, __in DWORD dwTimeout, __in BOOL fAlertable );
Now in Metro App I do not have this api. But I want somehow detect the read and write events on the SocketStream. How?
SocketStreamListener seemingly gives ConnectionReceived event. Is there any event somewhere something like DataRead/DataWritten event, using which I would know my socket has read or written some data, and then I can tell my corresponding event-listeners what to do.
Please advise.

For data read event, you can add the function to DataReader.LoadAsync.Then();
For data write event, you can add the function to

you can use DataWriterStoreOperation^ or DataReaderLoadOperation^ to control DataWriter.StoreAsync() or DataReader.LoadAsync() completed status.
this is a sample about DataWriter.StoreAsync() .you can see it.
StreamSocket^ socket = ref new StreamSocket(); IOutputStream^ senddata = socket->OutputStream; DatDataWriter^ writer_ = ref new DataWriter(senddata); auto data = ref new Platform::Array<unsigned char>(size); ::memcpy(data->Data, buf, size);//buf is char* style ( your data ) auto task1 = make_task([=] { try { DataWriterStoreOperation^ store_data = nullptr; store_data = writer_ >StoreAsync(); AsyncStatus storestarus = store_data->Status; while (storestarus != AsyncStatus::Completed) { WaitForSingleObjectEx(event_wait,2,false);//event control wait time 2 = 2ms storestarus = store_data->Status;
// here you should set wait time out to protect it can't return and blocked return; } } catch (Exception^ e) { return; } }); structured_task_group tasks; tasks.run_and_wait(task1);

Thanks for the note. Where does socket->smi_event_wait come from. I do not see a smi_event_wait property of StreamSocket or of DataWriterStoreOperation.
-Shafiq11 พฤษภาคม 2555 18:12
Hi,socket->smi_event_wait is a handle of an event,
you should use createeventexw to create an event and open event where you want use waitforsingleobjectex to wait time14 พฤษภาคม 2555 9:46
Are you talking about SocketStream or DatagramStream? They do not have smi_event_wait.
If I were to use CreateEventEx(), how exactly will I detect a read or write event of the socket.
I am looking for similar to WsaEvent().
Please elaborate what you meant above. I might have misunderstood.
-Shafiq.17 พฤษภาคม 2555 23:34
you purpose is get event of socket has read or written some data,
In metro ,this is implemented by DataWriterStoreOperation^ operationstatus or DataReaderLoadOperation^ operationstatus to detect socket has read or written some data.
because the function is async, so if we want to get status of function executed, wo should wait some times to make ture the function had enough time to execute.
i use WaitForSingleObjectEx(event_wait,2,false);//event control wait time 2 = 2ms,
and i will check the status of function exectued once 2ms to make ture the function completed and i knew immediately.18 พฤษภาคม 2555 2:24
What if a large data (64K) was sent and the LoadOperation needs 20ms to complete. Then waiting for single object for 2ms will result in time-out and thus end. Then how will I know when the actual operation is over, unless that WaitForSingleEx is under a continuously polling thread. That's CPU expensive.19 พฤษภาคม 2555 4:06
This is a classic issue with using sockets.
I commonly do lot's of little reads and try to decode the data, but it is important to formulate data with some sort of wrapper, size, or other logically identifiable "packet"

Hi Shafiq
i did test for it ,you can WaitForSingleObjectEx(event_wait,1,false);//event control wait time 2 = 2ms
and the time is enough to wait for operation::status == completed, the speed of loaddata from Apache server is ahout 6MB/S
and you don't worry about the preformance.
use WaitForSingleObjectEx(event_wait,1,false); in while() it make the data received or sent . if you want to set time out ,you can let return error when while() spent lot of time.21 พฤษภาคม 2555 9:45
