Acne Studios is a Stockholm based fashion house, founded in 1996 by Creative Director Jonny Johansson with an 'Ambition to Create Novel Expressions'. Taking a multidisciplinary approach to fashion, the lifestyle brand finds its inspiration in photography, art, architecture and contemporary culture – creating subtly luxurious ready-to-wear pieces with an Acne emphasis on tailoring and an eclectic use of custom developed materials.
Photographer, Viviane Sassen, served as the reference point for Jonny Johansson's AW15 collection, a collection created to evoke the 'harmony of people in their contextual environment'. As always, coats were the focus of the collection featuring thick, flecked tweeds and rich mocha leathers with contrasting woven pockets. Voluminous jackets featured exposed darting and were bound in rope resulting in structured, sculptural-like pieces whilst sleek patterned trousers were seen layered under elongated tops. Sassen's imagery was translated through a woven, raffia fabric which was realised in utilitarian pockets and high-waisted blue patchwork pants which were paired with sheer nude tops. The unique tones in Sassen's work are mimicked in this season's autumnal colour palette of yellows, browns and copper reds whilst cool pale blues lightened the collection easily transitioning us into autumn.

Located in a beautiful valley tucked into the hills just west of Edwards, Lake Creek is a community that feels much farther away. While only a few minutes from Edwards, Lake Creek offers a rural setting where many ranching activities still occur. The two gated developments within this valley are Creamery Ranch and Pilgrim Downs.
With no two homes alike, this community is perfect for those who value their independence, privacy and the natural surroundings. The quiet, peaceful valley doesn't get a lot of traffic, and the privacy of each property offers unparalleled serenity. Views of the Sawatch Range are spectacular, adding to the feeling of solitude that Lake Creek delivers just minutes from Vail and Beaver Creek.
Without many restrictions on what can be built in Lake Creek, homes vary in size and scope. Some of the county's most extraordinary homes are located here.
With its dark sky and natural surroundings, within close proximity to all of the valley's world-class outdoor recreation, restaurants and shopping, Lake Creek is a community where you can get away from it all without having to go too far.

Worker celebrates 50 years at same store
Worker celebrates 50 years at same store
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Workers at Younkers in Merle Hay Mall celebrated a special anniversary Thursday.
Co-workers, family and friends honored Peggy Nesbit for her 50 years of work at the department store.
Nesbit said her love for working with people has never changed over the half century she's worked there, but just about everything else has changed.
"Things have changed, things got modern and it's just a whole different world since I started, but it's nice. You have to go with the times," said Nesbit.
Nesbit is one of three generations and one of five people in her family to work at the Merle Hay Mall Younkers store.

The Kansas Press Association (KPA) announced the winners of the 2012 KPA Awards of Excellence last week, awarding the Kiowa County Signal seven awards in a variety of categories.
The Kansas Press Association (KPA) announced the winners of the 2012 KPA Awards of Excellence last week, awarding the Kiowa County Signal seven awards in a variety of categories.
Signal Editor Patrick Clement, General Manager Conrad Easterday and Publisher Randy Mitchell received four first place finishes in the Non-Daily Division I for features, stories and editions published last year.
"Kiowa County Collectors," a six-part series exploring unique collections by county residents, earned a first place finish in the Series category and last year's coverage of the local Pinewood Derby "West is derby champion, again" earned a first place in the Youth Story category.
The Signal also won first place in the Headline Writing category with a trio of submissions including "Divide and Concur," coverage of the county commissioners redistricting, "Big well-done for done Big Well," about the grand opening of the Big Well Museum and "Chimps check champ chance," a story about the final Maverick football game in Solomon.
The 2012 Halloween edition "Kiowa County Spookiest" earned the top spot in the Feature Package category for its mix or stories, photos, advertising and layout.
Last year's two-part story "Local man searching" and "Buckle owner had deep roots in Greensburg and Colorado," earned The Signal a second place honor in the Investigative Story category and the cover graphic for the June 20 edition "HIBye-Bye" earned a third place honor in the Photo Illustration category.
Clement also earned a third place finish in the News Photo category for a photo taken the morning after the April 18 tornado that hit the northern part of Kiowa County. The photo depicts John Colclazier Jr. mending a fence that was damaged in the storm.
KPA award winners will be honored at a banquet during the 2013 KPA Convention, held on May 3-4 in Topeka.
"Creating dynamic and award-worthy news content is a three-way street," said Clement. "It takes an engaged readership and supportive management. The people of Kiowa County and my bosses at Gatehouse Media deserve as much credit as I do."

Zumiez: "Do you focus on versatility and riding different terrain in your video parts?"
Dan Brisse: "My goal every year is to get a well rounded video part that has both urban and back country footage. Basically got the idea from watching the Forum 8 dudes when I was younger back in Minnesota and each year that is the main goal, to have a well rounded video part."
Zumiez: "Who else does this well in urban and back country?"
Dan Brisse: "Right now some riders I think are doing well are Pat Moore, he's insane at back country and urban. Bode Merrill has so much talent it's ridiculous. Torstein Horgmo does well with both."
Zumiez: "How did your collab pro model come out?"
Dan Brisse: "Blue (Montgomery) had the idea, called up Volcom and Volcom was into the idea, and they both came together to do their part. Volcom designed the graphic and Capita designed the board, and I just rode it."
Zumiez: "How do you look at snowboarding now differently than you did 10 years ago?"
Dan Brisse: "I look at it pretty much the same as I did 10 years ago. It's something I love to do. It's really fun. You can be creative and do something different every year. You can improve every year. It hasn't really changed much to be honest."
Zumiez: "Coming from the Midwest were you intimidated by big mountain riding at first?"
Dan Brisse: "I had no idea what it would come to. I had no idea we'd be hitting some of the features we're hitting now. What's crazy about it is that I'm so used to it because I'm around it all the time but when I show photos to my brother or people who don't snowboard I can just tell when they're looking at it they're like 'dude, you're crazy!' like the idea of doing something like this, they can't even wrap their mind around it."
Zumiez: "What does it take to be at a pro level these days?"
Dan Brisse: "It takes a love for snowboarding I think. You just gotta love it. It's gotta be something you want to do every day all day long. If you love it enough you'll probably be getting paid to snowboard some day."

Occasionally, someone does something quite expected and shows a kindness or common courtesy, while most would simply pass by the stranger on the side of the road. This happened to a friend and me twice recently while we were out cycling after dark in Pratt County.
In one instance, we had just across Highway 54 just west of skyline when I stopped to pull off a layer of clothing, as the temperature was warmer than I had expected. I laid my bicycled on the ground as I sat on the ground next to it. The various flashing lights attached to the bike attracted the attention of a passing motorist. Two women in a car, possibly a mother and daughter, pulled up and asked if I was okay. They had thought someone might be down from an accident. I said I was fine. They left me with a cheerful, "Be safe," flipped a U-turn and continued on their journey.
The second instance of kindness happened this past week when my friend and I were riding back into town on 1st St. several miles west of town on the dirt when my rear tire flatted. In the process of changing the flat, I left my helmet light on so that we could see to accomplish the task. The movement of this "headlight" attracted the attention of the occupants of a nearby house. As we finished up the repair, a woman drove up with her two sons (possibly) and said they had noticed lights flickering and asked if we needed any helped. We said we had just finished changing a flat and thanked them for coming out to check on us. They drove forward and turned around toward their home as we headed east toward Pratt.
I want to thank again these strangers who stopped to show a little kindness and lend a hand if needed. Unfortunately, such offers are becoming less and less commonplace in today's world, as we become less trusting of one another. Experiences like these help to reaffirm my faith in humanity and provide a little hope for the future. It also serves as a good personal reminder to step outside of my comfort zone when I may come across someone in need.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of your stroke. The goals of treatment are to restore blood flow, minimize damage, and prevent another stroke. Time is the most important element of treatment in decreasing the amount of brain damage of any stroke. If you suspect a stroke call for emergency medical services immediately. Emergency services can begin some treatment before reaching the hospital.
For ischemic stroke, clot-busting medication can open blood vessel and restore blood flow to the brain. The increased blood flow can decrease or prevent damage to the affected areas of the brain. The earlier the medication is delivered the better the outcomes.
- If medical care is given within 4½ hours of start of symptoms, clot-busting medications may be delivered through IV.
- If medical care is given within approximately 6 hours of start of symptoms, intra-arterial (IA) clot-busting medications may be used. IAs are delivered directly to the clot through a catheter.
These therapies are not used for hemorrhagic strokes. Treatment for hemorrhagic stroke include efforts to slow or stop the bleeding.
Once you are stabilized and evaluated, management will shift to rehabilitation. The days and weeks after your first stroke may be an entirely new world to you. It will include hard work to recover or retrain function you lost, such as speech, walking, or the use of an arm or leg. Recovery can take days, weeks, or months. Rehabilitation can last years.
To achieve these goals, you will have a health care team that is made up of doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and other health professionals. It is important to maintain contact with your medical team, adhere to recommended treatment and rehabilitation, and go to any recommended appointments.

Commission proposes rules to make Youth Employment Initiative a reality
The Youth Employment Initiative was proposed by the 7-8 February 2013 European Council with a budget of €6 billion for the period 2014-20.
The Youth Employment Initiative would particularly support young people not in education, employment or training in the Union's regions with a youth unemployment rate in 2012 at above 25% by integrating them into the labour market.
The money under the Youth Employment Initiative would therefore be used to reinforce and accelerate measures outlined in the December 2012 Youth Employment Package. In particular, the funds would be available for EU countries to finance measures to implement in the eligible regions the Youth Guarantee Recommendation agreed by the EU's Council of Employment and Social Affairs Ministers on 28 February. Under the Youth Guarantee, Member States should put in place measures to ensure that young people up to age 25 receive a good quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed.
The Youth Employment Initiative would be complementary to other projects undertaken at national level, including those with European Social Fund (ESF) support, with a view to setting up or implementing the youth guarantee schemes, such as reforming the relevant institutions and services.
Of the funding, €3 billion would come from a dedicated Youth Employment budget line complemented by at least €3 billion more from the ESF. Given Member States' current budgetary difficulties due to the economic crisis, only the European Social Fund contribution would require Member States to top up with their own financial contribution.

New Hieromartyr Father John (Karastamatis) of Santa Cruz (August 8, 1937 - May 19, 1985) was the parish priest and one of the founders of the Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Cruz, California, and a fervent preacher of the Orthodox Faith, for which he was martyred by Satanists in 1985.
His memory is celebrated on May 19, on the eve of the feast of the translation of the holy relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonder-worker, for whom Fr. John had a great reverance, because as a child he often visited the Monastery of St. Nicholas of Andros, Greece.
In Greece
Fr. John Karastamatis was born in 1937 in the Greek village of Apoikia, on the island of Andros. As a boy on the island of Andros, John witnessed many miracles with which God blessed the pious villagers, and thus he was made aware of the closeness of God to the lives of those who seek Him. The heavenly saints, especially the local ones, also manifested their closeness and the power of their intercessory prayer by appearing to and helping the people.
John nourished his young soul by learning about the lives of these saints and martyrs, whose unquenchable desire to be faithful to Christ in the face of deprivation, torment and physical death inspired him to also be a servant of God. Although he did not attend any theological school, he wanted to put his faith into practice by someday becoming a priest.
In America
In 1957, at the age of twenty, John came to the United States. Five years later he married a young Greek woman, Athanasia Matsellis, and soon became the father of two children, Maria and Photios. The cities of the United States were in sharp contrast to the village of his birth, but his acute awareness of the nearness of God and the other world, given to him in childhood, never left him. He now found himself in the midst of those who not only did not want to be close to God, but who actively fled from Him. Still he hoped in God, knowing that the freedom of Christ can be found even in the most stifling and evil surroundings.
With the support and encouragement of Fr. George Bogdanos, a Greek priest who recognized in him the integrity and zeal of a true pastor, Fr. John was ordained to the deaconate in 1971 with the blessing of Archbishop lakovos, who supported him in this. Since both his love for the Church and the love of the churchgoers for him was so apparent, he was made a priest only a few weeks later by Bishop Meletios (Christianopolis) of San Francisco.
He first served the Greek Orthodox community in Anchorage, Alaska, the land of newly-canonized St. Herman, who thus became his guardian angel for the rest of his life. He was later assigned to the St. George parish in Vancouver, Canada, and then to All Saints parish in Anaheim, Pennsylvania.
He then moved to Santa Cruz, California, which had been named by the Spanish missionaries after the Holy Cross of the Lord. There he labored with enthusiasm to provide a haven of Orthodox Christianity for the faithful in the area, who had long been without a nearby church.
Because the community in Santa Cruz was too small to immediately acquire its own Orthodox church, Fr. John began to serve the Divine Liturgy in the nearby town of Aptos, in the chapel of a Poor Clare convent. The nuns would have their services very early on Sunday morning, leaving the church free for Fr. John and his parishioners to use afterwards. The parishioners were at first hesitant: they would come to Liturgy late, and would all sit at the very back of the chapel, as if they were spectators and not participants. Fr. John knew that he had much work to do. He was sometimes disappointed at the lack of active interest among his flock. His was a burning faith, and lukewarmness had always been foreign to his soul. His task, he knew, was to ignite this fire within each of his parishioners, so that they themselves would struggle for the kingdom of heaven, the one thing needful, and not sit in the background and expect their priest to do their work for them. He could not demand too much at once, but had to be a gentle and loving pastor, condescending to the weaknesses of his flock so as not to overwhelm them and cause them to abandon the Orthodox faith altogether. The gap between shepherd and sheep had to be bridged gradually and carefully, and Fr. John had to spark the kinder in the hearts of his flock without scorching them with the consuming fire within him.
Sometimes Fr. John would speak forceful words of rebuke to awaken his people from their spiritual sleep, but mostly he would inspire them by his quiet and unobtrusive example. They began to see how hard he struggled and were moved to help him fulfill his godly dreams. His fervency and zeal, his unequivocal belief in the other world, was something that they did not fully understand, and yet that they inwardly -- and in some cases unconsciously - longed for. Having come to love him deeply, they were grateful that God had sent a harvester to their field.
Founding of Prophet Elias Church, Santa Cruz
By giving his parishioners new aspirations, Fr. John instilled in them the desire to start their own church. They collected and saved money and eventually found the perfect building for their church: a former funeral home in Santa Cruz, across from the public library and in the best part of town for missionary activity. Fr. John did much of the interior work himself, fashioning a beautiful white iconostasis and a large domed apse behind and above the altar. When completed, the newly-consecrated church became a refuge from the noisy bustle of the world, an island of holiness in the middle of downtown Santa Cruz. The church was dedicated to the Prophet Elias.[note 1]
With their new and beautiful church, the parishioners, comprised of over 75 families, now had a sense of accomplishment. They felt that they had come a long way from the days when they had little choice but to use a chapel which was outside of town. Now they could branch out into other activities.
Missionary Activity
Fr. John by no means wanted his Orthodox community to be a closed one, and he rejoiced to discover any fervent young souls which came to him in search of the fulness of Christianity. Santa Cruz has been a gathering place not only of the darker and meaner elements of society, but also of idealistic young people who have desired something more meaningful than the American values of materialism and competition. By the time Fr. John started his church in Santa Cruz, a small but significant "Orthodox Christian movement" had already begun at the university there. This was primarily the result of the missionary work of Hieromonk Anastassy. Through him, many Santa Cruz university students embraced the Orthodox faith and dedicated their lives to serving Christ.
In 1981, Fr. Seraphim Rose, at the request of the Orthodox students there, gave two lectures at the university and further inspired young souls to enter what he called "the saving enclosure of the Church." The fellowship of Orthodox students turned also to Fr. John and his church in order to receive spiritual nourishment and to participate in the divine services, which lifted them above the worldliness of university life. Fr. John always greeted them with a radiant smile and warm love, seeing in their young faces the freshness and enthusiasm that would keep Orthodoxy alive for future generations. After these students graduated, Fr. John brought other young people to the Orthodox faith, giving them all that they needed for their growth in the faith and being to them a loving father who was concerned for their spiritual welfare.
Since the Prophet Elias Church was in the middle of town, people would often come from off the streets to ask questions and attend the services. Fr. John kept an "open-door policy," making himself and his church available to anyone with a pastoral need. The people of Santa Cruz came to know him as being kind, trusting, full of love and open. He had great compassion for the poor, and was helpful to all who came to him, disregarding their religion or whether or not they were taking advantage of him. It was not uncommon for him to be awakened at odd hours of the night by needy people knocking at his back door. No one would be refused, but would always be given alms for a meal. In the most outcast and downtrodden of individuals, and perhaps especially in them, Fr. John saw the image of Christ. With deep-felt Christian love, he once wrote these words about the simple people who, although rejected by the world, are faithful to Christ and follow the voice of their hearts:
- "We see them lonely within the crowd, or following the life of a hermit as they become symbols of truth and beacon lights of Christianity, praying for peace and brotherly love on earth."
Orthodox Christianity was not just something "for Greeks," but rather was universal. His love for God induced him to earnestly desire to bring forth fruits for Him, as a son strives to please his father, and this made him a zealous missionary to all peoples. He had services in public parks, where the townspeople would stop to attend something, which, although foreign to them, they found to be divinely beautiful. Hearing Fr. John, with his full and resonant voice, chanting the ancient Byzantine melodies along with his cantor, would unexpectedly catch a vague and half-remembered glimpse of that sacred realm which their souls knew but their minds had never been exposed to. In such a way was Fr. John able to introduce the riches of Orthodoxy to the spiritually impoverished American people.
While Fr. John's fervent pastoral work served to convert many non-Greek people, his first job was, of course, to "convert" many of his own people - those who were baptized Orthodox but whose commitment to Christ meant, at most, only an external commitment to church attendance and activities. By his own faith he demonstrated to them that Orthodoxy is not merely a ritual, a system of dogmas or a behavior pattern, but is instead a transforming power, which is tapped by conscious spiritual struggle.
Desecration of the Church
The good works of Fr. John were too numerous and his outreach too extensive not to evoke malicious actions from the haters of God. The visibility of Fr. John and his church in the middle of Santa Cruz made them more accessible not only to those in need of help, but also to those who wished to destroy all that is holy. A few months before Fr. John's death, the church was desecrated by unknown occultists, who painted "666" and the five-pointed satanic star on the front entrance. When the desecration was discovered, Fr. John reconsecrated the church.
Later he received anonymous threats, but was undaunted by them. His preaching angered some who began to threaten him by phone and in letters to cease preaching. But Father John became even more passionate about his ministry saying:
He advised the faithful to guard themselves against the pitfalls of the Antichrist and not to take the mark. Then the telephone threats on his life become even more intense, however Father John did not fear any of this.
Miracle of the Blossoming White Lilies
It was through Fr. John that the Most Holy Mother of God bestowed a miraculous blessing on the Prophet Elias Church. This occurred after Fr. John brought some bulbs of the "lily of the Panagia" back from his native island of Andros, where he visited with his family. He went to the Monastery of St Nicholas on the island and asked Abbot Dorotheos (Themelis) for few dried lilies.
The lily of the Panagia ("Most Holy") is so named because of the tradition, often depicted in icons, concerning the Archangel Gabriel presenting the Mother of God with this species of lily at the time of the Annunciation. In the monastery on Andros which Fr. John visited,[note 2] stems from these lilies, being many years old, sometimes bud miraculously at the time of the Feast of the Dormition.
Fr. John instructed his son Photios to plant the lily bulbs in pots and to water them only with holy water, which Photios did. After the lilies had grown from the bulbs in May of 1983, Fr. John cut one of the flowers and placed it by the icon of the Mother of God, which leaned against the iconostasis of his church. The flower did not wilt for three or four weeks, although it had been cut and removed from both water and earth. When it finally dropped its petals (the first one having fallen on a radiant day when one of Fr. John's converts from the university was baptized), Fr. John told his wife not to vacuum up any of them, but to save them and place them by the icon where the flower stem was still leaning. Aпd then, within three weeks, some fresh sprouts appeared on the stem!
The stem continued to produce new stems for many months, until the winter of 1983-4. Fr. John interpreted the miracle as an image of life coming out of death through the Resurrection. This miracle strengthened the faith of many to have more reverence towards the Blessed Virgin.
Father John was a sensitive and beautiful soul. At the instruction of Elder Dorotheos (Themelis), he wrote poems and religious hymns, and was deeply touched by the miracles of the Virgin and the lives of the saints.
Before his martyric death, three wonderful things had happened:
- One week before his martyrdom the blossoming lilies of the Virgin wilted at once and they never blossomed again.
- The Icon of the Blessed Virgin wept, and traces of her tears can still be seen on her image.
- On three consecutive Sundays before his martyrdom, during the Divine Liturgy, the altar boy while giving him the warm water (to prepare the Holy Communion) saw a strange phenomenon - his father' face was shining and scattered rays of light - but father John told him strictly not to reveal anything.
On the evening of May 17, 1985 Fr. John telephoned Abbot Dorotheos (Themelis) and asked him about the miracles of the myrrh-streaming icon of the Blessed Virgin (Myrrhovlytissa), because he wanted to preach a sermon on her for the following Sunday. Then on the night of Saturday, May 18, 1985, the eve of the feast of the translation of the holy relics of Saint Nicholas the Wonder-worker, Fr. John was in the church building, preparing the sermon for the following morning. His wife was in Los Angeles at that time visiting her daughter, who had just given birth to her first child.
Shortly before midnight,[note 3] one or more assailants entered the church. Evidently they had been watching Fr. John, for they came at a time when he was alone, when both his wife and 17 year-old son were gone. They attacked Fr. John in his church office, stabbing him with a knife. During the struggle Fr. John was severely beaten, and then was finally killed by a heavy blow on his head.
His son, who had dined with him earlier that evening, arrived at 1:30 a.m. at the church. Outside the office he discovered the body of his murdered father, and on the walls -- the blood of a martyr.
There, the boy was faced with a terrible sight: his father was found on the floor slaughtered and unrecognizable…he had been hit in the head with a hammer and his whole body was butchered with knifes. As the police had later discovered, because father John didn't die right away, the criminals took the cross he was wearing around the neck and hanged him with its chain. The blood poured from his wounds and flooded the floor of the Holy Shrine. The Satanists used his blood to write their slogans and the mark 666 on the walls of the Church. The blessed father John suffered martyrdom in the very place where he was photographed with the cross in his hand, almost prophesizing of what would follow.[1]
Because Fr. John's face and fingers were so disfigured and mutilated, his relics could not be displayed at the funeral service, therefore his body was covered in the usual gold-vestments and the coffin was sealed.
The police searched for the killers and found three people, a couple and the son of the man from another woman. They were priests and worshipers of Satan. They drank cobra venom while they were arrested and two of them died, and the third lost his mind and could not testify.[1][note 4]
The criminals responsible were Edward and Anna Bowman. Edward Bowman was eligible for the death penalty, but pled guilty to avoid execution. Bowman was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison in 1988. However he was eligible for parole in 2010. In February 2010, the Santa Cruz District Attorney's Office reported that he was denied parole, with the Parole Board ruling that he will not be eligible again until 2015.[2]
This brutal crime was pre-meditated. Detectives involved in this case believe these criminals were responsible for other crimes, and committed other murders. One theory is they told Father John, in counseling, of their crimes. They became nervous then planned his murder to ensure Father John remained silent. As he lay dying they rifled through Father John's pockets, searched his office and stole items from the Church. The criminal's son was in fear for his life as Edward Bowman, while bragging of the brutal murder, threatened to kill him as well if he said anything about the murder. Psychiatrists who examine Bowman agree, he has sociopath tendencies, is a pathological liar and to this day expresses no remorse.[3]
In the absence of a more plausible reason for the crime, it is most likely that the killing, like the church desecration a few months prior to it, was done at the hands of those who hated Fr. John for his holy work, of those who are the enemies of God and rebel against Him because they serve the first rebel, Satan. But whether Fr. John was killed for overtly satanic purposes or for other, irrational reasons, he had without doubt a martyric death, giving his life for Christ and dying in the very church in which he had diligently served Him.
Apparitions of Blessed Father John
When Abbot Dorotheos (Themelis) learned about the martyrdom of Father John, he wrote to the Presbytera asking her to send his priestly vestments from when they had celebrated together the feast of Saint Dorotheos at the Monastery in 1981. Some time passed but he received no response from father John's family.
On the eve July 4, at the Monastery of St. Nicholas, a Athonite vigil was celebrated in honor of St. Athanasius of Mt.Athos, with many pilgrims who had come from Athens. As the vigil was about to end, the monastery bells began to beat themselves as for a solemn feast. They stopped for awhile, but the bells started ringing again so harmoniously that everyone was astonished.
Seized with fear and awe, the faithful started to pray the paraclesis of St. Nicholas, waiting for a miracle to happen. That afternoon, elder Dorotheos got a call from Mary, the daughter of Father John, who had come specifically to the monastery bearing the vestments of her father. She brought them into the monastery and they were received with joy by all the pilgrims there. The bells had been ringing in the monastery that morning exactly at the time when the ship entered the harbor carrying the Martyr's vestments.
The apparitions of blessed father John after his martyric death are many. On the eve of the feast of St. Nicholas, in 1986, abbot Dorotheos together with several women was preparing for the monastery's patronal feast. At one point, they saw blessed father John walking through the monastery gardens and heading towards them. They all were frightened and began to shout: "Papa Iani!" Then he disappeared from their sight. Immediately after this to their surprise, came the postman with a package from Switzerland containing a wooden carved image (icon) of Father John, from some Russian believers that honored him as a saint. Father John had asked that his icon may be spread to all Christians so they may learn about his martyrdom and missionary work.
In addition, in February 1987 while abbot Dorotheos went to Switzerland for surgery, while he was talking to the faithful there about Fr. John and his martyrdom, Fr. John appeared to them, blessed them, and then disappeared from their sight.
- "His life inspired and enlightened and cheered us!" wrote one of his spiritual children. "His death has served to confirm in a most direct way the realities of not only our Orthodox faith, but of the bizarre and truly anti-Christian ways of our times."
Holy New Martyr Priest John of Santa Cruz, pray to God for us!
Troparion – Tone 1
Having cultivated the fruit of God's knowledge by thy labors,
thou hast plucked out the root of godlessness and proclaimed in our land the true faith.
Anointed with grace thou hast tended the flock entrusted thee,
and in shedding thy blood thou waterest the seeds of Christ's true faith in our land,
O New Martyr John of Santa Cruz.
Glory to Him Who hath granted thee strength;
Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee;
Glory to Him Who granteth healing for all through thee.
Hymn to Passion-Bearer John of Santa Cruz[4]
Thou melodic chanter with the chorus of angels!
Thou cheerful comforter of the aged!
Thou compassionate healer of the infirm!
Thou fearless expounder of the true faith!
Thou untiring intercessor for the young!
Thou zealous restorer of family unity!
Thou Lamp shining in the darkness of our times!
Thou, Righteous New Martyr John, we beseech, pray to Christ our God, that we may obtain Eternal Life!

John, Archimandrite Meletios says: "He was not my immediate predecessor; there had been three other priests in between. I knew his presbytera quite well, and his children. He was murdered on the premises of the church, in very unpleasant circumstances, some years before I arrived, but it was still a very dominant factor in the life of parish while I was there—something they couldn't forget."

How to Build Your Own Night Vision Camera:
- Our eyes are tuned to see the visible spectrum of light, a term used to refer to light with wavelengths between 380 and 750 nanometers. Just because we cannot see any light at night does not mean that there is no light there. Infrared light---light with a wavelength longer than 750 nm---though invisible to the naked eye is visible to cameras. Digital cameras use a special filter to block this infrared light, but with a few modifications to your existing camera, you can build your own night vision camera capable of "seeing" and recording infrared
- Select a digital still or video camera---including webcams---that you would like to modify to a night vision camera. The modification is irreversible and the camera will no longer be able to shoot normal color photos or videos. Film or tape cameras will not work, as neither standard film nor videotape will render infrared light correctly. You will need special film or tape to shoot infrared with a nondigital camera
- Consult your camera's manual to determine the location of the camera's image sensor. It will be labeled either as a CCD or CMOS sensor
- Open your camera, removing screws with your screwdriver if necessary. Even though you can expose a dSLR (digital single lens reflex) sensor by removing the lens, it will be necessary to remove the back of the camera to get to the infrared filter. Video cameras will also need to be opened to access their sensors. Webcams often must be pried apart if their components are attached with clips or glue
- Remove the red-tinted glass that covers the sensor. This is the infrared filter. It will likely be attached to the camera or sensor in some way, so you will need to remove it without damaging the sensor or camera. You can usually slip your screwdriver between the filter and sensor and gently pry the filter off. Be careful to keep the screwdriver from scratching the sensor
- Discard the infrared filter, and reassemble the camera. If you needed to break apart a glued component on a webcam, you can use an adhesive to reconnect the pieces. Digital still cameras and video cameras can be reassembled without replacing any parts
- Take photos or video as usual, remembering that your camera is now capable of seeing more than your naked eye can. Because the modification occurs between the sensor and the lens, you will not be able to see the difference through your camera's eyepiece. Any digital display will show infrared light, however
- Use your infrared flashlight to put more infrared light into your shot and make your subject even more visible. During the day, or when photographing living subjects---as organic material throws off much more infrared light than inorganic material---this flashlight is not necessary, but it will illuminate nonliving subjects at night without casting any visible light
- To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture
- The user will be required to correct the interference as his own expense if not install in accordance
- Temperature of the work environment shall be between-10℃and 50℃
- Do not open its cover of the pickup Camera. Otherwise its function of waterproof will be ineffective
- Please the keeping glass surface clean . Otherwise it may make light sensor an expiration

It's the simple things in life people need to have more of, and that is why I would like to give credit to the manager of Friedman's at the Greater Butler Mart for making what I and others think was the correct decision.
He made the correct decision to allow a cashier named Linda to continue to wear silly hats, glasses, etc., that Linda comes up with to decorate herself for a holiday, event, or just any day.
Even if Linda is not your cashier you can spot her, and she always makes you smile or chuckle about the outfit she is wearing.
With so much anger and hatred in the world, it is nice to have someone like Linda, in her own small way, bring a smile to the shoppers at Friedman's. Likewise, it is nice to have a manager who allows unassuming things in life to touch people in a favorable way when they are in the grocery store.
I know of many shoppers who share the same opinion.

The Journal agrees that higher gas prices in Cortez a fact of life for many years are unfortunate. They amount to a surcharge for living here. Most communities have those quirky costs. For example, housing in Durango is far more expensive than in Cortez, and then theres that parking-meter money.
Reasons do exist to shop outside of Cortez. Theres a lot that simply cant be purchased here. You cant buy that here any more is a reality brought to Cortez by people who shop at big-box stores and in neighboring towns.
Theres also a surprising amount that can, and some of it is unique and wonderful. The benefits of shopping locally are numerous. Supporting the local economy benefits us all.
Shopping here or there or not at all is a choice, often recreational rather than economic, and shoppers will do what they want. Some of them will consider the costs and benefits to their community as well as themselves. Some of them wont.
For those who are wavering, heres a tip: Higher gas prices in Cortez arent a valid reason to shop somewhere else.
The math is straightforward: A shopping trip to Durango requires at least 95 miles of driving; a trip to Farmington requires about 150. If gas costs, say, 30 cents less in one of those destinations, and a shopper coasts in on fumes and buys 20 gallons there, thats $6 or less than two gallons of gas. Durango is more than two gallons away for anyone who doesnt drive a little hybrid (or a motorcycle, but pulling a trailer filled with purchases will cut into that mileage). Farmington is out of reach.
Add to that the point that the local business owners from whom a shopper might buy a Christmas gift dont control the price of gas. They pay it like everyone else. Dont penalize them, and everyone who benefits from sales tax collected in Cortez, for something they cannot change.

The May 9 edition of the Butler Eagle describes in detail the city/county/school board budget plans for the future. Controversial issues are exposed, leading one to conclude that a number of our officials have their priorities mixed up.
The county commissioners' bizarre real estate adventure, several officials asleep at the wheel at the city building, and a school board's considerable investment that "robs Peter to pay Paul" have been exposed by our local newspaper.
The decision by the commissioners to pursue construction of a new building is ludicrous. The total cost of this self-serving folly is, so far, at least $327,034.
Elsewhere, the Butler School Board is weighing cuts and savings, planning to cut 19 teachers and a librarian and not replacing two retiring guidance counselors.
To make matters worse, a number of classes are scheduled for cuts, too numerous to repeat. Teachers' lives are disrupted, and education takes a hit.
Conversely, $277,611 is added to the school budget for armed school security guards.
As the national rallying cry grows louder to add armed security in public places, where is the line drawn when we find education and jobs are replaced by security investments?
At the turn of the century, Butler's Main Street Program was highly praised as the solution to restoring and beautifying downtown Butler. More than a decade later, this endeavor is "running on fumes," according to the Butler Eagle.
The state grant to bolster the project is now delayed, partly due to city/downtown miscommunications. This is a sad commentary on the urgency and attention to detail lacking among some city officials.
Of the $70,000 in state funds provided, $40,000 of that goes mostly to the Main Street manager's salary and benefits.
Most importantly, except for blight around Main Street, there is no visible sign of progress, only empty buildings and vacant lots to show for an empty promise.
Scrap it.
When driving on Jefferson and Cunningham streets full length, intrusive, shabby road conditions are encountered. In an attempt to remedy the condition, too often a band-aid of pavement patching is haphazardly applied.
As drivers continue to confront the road's peaks and valleys, an indiscriminately placed utility company sunken metal manhole cover could cost drivers a wheel alignment.
There's something amiss. To allow these shenanigans to go unchallenged sends a bad message to our elected officials that, once again, we accept the status quo.
A single letter to the editor won't shake up the system, but to borrow a phrase from Hillary Rodham Clinton, "It takes a village."
After all, the ballot box no longer cures what ails us.

KNEW GIRL THAT BROUGHT SPIDER INTO ROOM DUMB behind GAVE HER FREE UPGRADE
The $10 trick hasn't worked for me at all.
I know tipping is a common practice to get what you want in Vegas, but is this "$20 trick" a practice hotel managers would approve of? When you take into consideration the rule-by-fear way many companies are run these days, I think a clerk might be putting his or her job at risk when taking it upon themselves to pass out an upgrade for what amounts to accepting a $20 bribe.
So what's next, using the "$20 trick" on a Vegas ticket counter rep to try and get into first class or to get an emergency row seat on a plane?
man it's so true eh - hot girls move at the speed of light - like george costanza says - filling out winning tickets today with a buddy this chick with an amazing as- comes in the store - she's makes the transaction and is gone at the speed of light - my friend barely got out have a nice night - she looks so quick to say you to we see her cute face and is gone in a split second - man the only way to get what you want is to set aside some money and pay for it - I love hot escorts - i mean your probably gonna have to go through a ton of garbage to get a girl like that - straight up you have to be a compulsive liar -which i am not - hot chicks in public you probably gotta fight someone to death and then ify - God love the Pros - man reached the top of the mountains with the pros and that's all that matters - real life is so hard - exspecially with hot chicks - i need like a mansion and five cars to get real life girls and then they set you up to get jumped by there boyfriend let you don't know about until your ducking - and firing back also at the speed of light - thanki god for hot escort hookers that arte here to please real men without crazy behind drama - by the way latinas which can be four different countries are god given with the lips at both ends am i right
If anyone of you guys are in vegas come to caesars i work at the concierge desk!!! i get great nite club hookups :)

I have woman's frame bike, in the petite (smallest/shortest) size with disc brakes. There is almost nothing out there in rear rack world that will fit this without add-on converter kits, bending parts, hacksaws, and more. This went right on and fit perfectly. Manufactures instructions were sketchy, but it was so intuitive we had no problems quickly and easily put it on(only 5 parts, 4 screws and a couple of headless screws.) Wish there was a place to show how well it fits. It sits level and looks like it belongs. Dan @ Helen's was answered questions and was great to work with. I worried about ordering something from California, never touching it and return hassles. Helen's was the only place that would answer my questions and carried women's bikes in petite size. This is what every small bike owner with disc brakes has been looking for!

Of course I included some of the characters we created for the Bakshi version of Mighty Mouse. Here's Petey Pate in his insane glory. In this story he steals all the eyebrows from the mice in mouseville and Mighty Mouse has to come save the day.
Here are his witless thugs who fear nothing - except insanity. The broken mind instills the fear of God in these poor crooked souls.
Here are my favorite characters from the Bakshi show.
These look like they also might be drawn by Mike Fontanelli.
I love the ignorant - and so did Rich. The original Deputy Dawg cartoons are pretty terrible, even for Terrytoons, but the characters are great.
Rich came up with a story about nearsighted Vincent Van Gofer marrying Deputy Dawg's pants. The set up was: Deputy, Musky and the gang are skinny dipping at the old swimming hole, when Vincent Van Gofer ambles up to the edge of the pond and sees Deputy's pants hanging over the branch of a tree. Through his blurry eyes he sees a beautiful apparition of female gofer loveliness and he whisks the pants away to the Sheriff's office for a quick wedding. Wedding bliss turns out to be less than he'd hoped for and the marriage soon sours. Meanwhile, Deputy Dawg has no pants and has to do his job while moving his hands back and forth really fast in front of himself to maintain the picture's family rating. That no-account egg-stealin' rascal, Musky takes advantage of the situation with zany-ass results.
I have lots more of this stuff if anyone else likes Terrytoons as much as I do.

Column published Dec. 13, 2012 in The Mexico Ledger
100 Years Ago
"Both engines were derailed and six cars were thrown off the track, when Wabash Freight No. 62 struck the C.&A South Branch freight No. 214 Thursday evening, as the C&A train was crossing the Wabash tracks just after dark. The C&A engine had just cleared the crossing, when the Wabash ran into the train. The Wabash engine and three cars were thrown off the track. A car load of 30 mules and one of 58 hogs on the C&A train were knocked down the embankment completely turned over. Two mules were killed and several injured and three hogs were killed. The C&A engine was partially derailed. The mules had been sold by W.R. Buckner of Auxvasse to Eugene Blakemore and were being shipped to his home in Shelbyville, Tenn."

"Just about half of Mexico's Headquarters battery National Guard unit streamed into the Armory last night as a result of a practice alert. The unscheduled callup was designed to test how well, the battalion alert and mobilization plan works. Both Bravo Battery in Columbia and Alpha in St. Louis participated in their respective cities. As the guardsmen, called from supper, from bowling, from their daily routine arrived they were hustled to outposts around the city – key installations which could be expected to be targets in case of an enemy attack."

"Mexico's City Council is looking into the possibility of hiring a consulting firm to search for a city manager, Mayor Larry Webber said this morning. The council met in special executive session Thursday night in the wake of City Manager Mark Pentz's announcement Wednesday that he had accepted a position as city manager at Leavenworth, Kan. On Thursday Mr. Webber explained that a consulting firm could conduct a search for candidates to fit a specific profile tailored to the city's needs. Those applicants would be screened by the firm and there applications submitted to the council for further consideration."

"Executives at Nexans are expected to announce today the closing of the Mexico-based plant. The shutdown of the magnet wire plant would mean the loss of an estimated 130 jobs. The Ledger was able to obtain a memo distributed yesterday to Nexans employees regrading the future of the plant. The letter, dated Dec. 12 and written by Director of Employee and Labor Relations at Nexans Edward Faultess states: "Effective April 30, 2003 Nexans will permanently close its entire plant located at 5701 Highway 54 East, Mexico, Missouri 65265." The memo also states that layoffs from the plant will begin as early, as Feb. 14."

In Inferential Genealogy Study Group in 2nd Life – Search Broadly #7 I mentioned that I had found some Civil War records. Have only heard about them, but not seen them. Up until today, no matter where I looked, I could not find David Ridgely Howard anywhere related to the Civil War. I was beginning to question if everyone in the Civil War would be found in the Civil War records. The fact that I have seen two indications that he had been wounded, not once but, twice, I thought for sure I would find something.
Well I did. 20 pages of documents on Footnote.com.
He enlisted August 21, 1862 in Richmond, Virginia by Capt R. B Winder for "3 yrs or war".
Company Muster Rolls were included, including "Sep & Oct, 1864". He was absent with remarks of "Wounded on Weldon R.R. Aug 19, 1864". This confirms one wounding that I have found.
Then there were three Hospital Muster Rolls, so I can follow him through the hospitals. Then there was the Medical Directors Office record. "Aug, 19, 1864 – vs flesh upper ext portion left thigh" and was put on furlough for 60 days. The next record told us why. "G.S. amputation right lef flesh upper est portion of thigh".
So, more details are here but there are two major questions still "on the table"
1) was he wounded at Gettysburg
2) why did he enlist in Richmond
Back to the books that I have picked up and waiting arrival to find the story of how he got from Baltimore to Washington, and now to Richmond. My Civil War re-enactor friend gave me some hints and hoping that one of this sources helps fill in the blanks.
Lots of data entry into my genealogy software. Am working on creating his Civil War Timeline that are now documented by these Civil War Pension files.

This is the 16th challenge in a weekly series from GeneaBloggers called 52 weeks of personal genealogy and history, suggested by Amy Coffin, that invite genealogists to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. Week 16 – Restaurants.
This is going to be a short post.
I don't have any recollection of going to restaurants in my childhood. It was just something that we didn't do in our family.
A regular and favourite meal however was fish and chips from the local chippie – it was called Berts. Take out fish and chips wrapped in newspaper – wonderful.
When I was in my teens and out in Leeds with my mates we would often eat at a Wimpy bar and we thought we were really cool!!
I didn't start going out to restaurants until I was much more grown up!!

Captain's ReportReady to Chase the FishBy Capt. Rob SmithWhether you chose the single console version, or 161 Pro Mag, or the dual console 162 Pro Mag, you will be pleased with her fishability and comfort during a long day of chasing fish. The Hydra Lift Hull design delivers exceptional performance, great acceleration and great control. The Advanced Integrated Rib System adds strength and rigidity. Tons of storage is waiting for your gear in 5 lockable storage compartments and the raised consoles offer great views protected by a high windshield. Bow and stern livewells insure you have plenty of bait and you don't have to rush back and forth when the fish start biting.Starting at the BowBeginning our walk through at the bow, our 162 sported a Minn Kota Power Drive V2 across the port side with a tethered foot control. A standard power attachment twist plug is in the bow and an anchor storage box large enough for plenty of line and an anchor to keep you over the fish when you find them. No worries when it comes to putting the navigation lights up, the bow light is clipped on the bottom of the lid to the vinyl lined anchor locker. Now many, like me, like to relax while casting and you can too with a pedestal and one of the seats from the cockpit up front. When the sun goes down or in the early morning hours, the deck can be illuminated with a push on light that doesn't require running back to the helm to hit the switch. Next to the light on the front of the helm is a handy pass through so you can run the extension cord to the battery charger and keep the trolling motor batteries topped off for the next excursion. Just because she is a sixteen footer doesn't mean you cut corners and just have one livewell; you have one up front as well on this model. The bow and the cockpit are separated with a full framed windshield in the dual console version. This has a nice flip-over filler walk through and provides great protection from spray and chilly winds. If you really have problems with chilly air, you will want to make a snap on cover for the lower section as there isn't one with the standard model.Room to WorkOnce in the cockpit, you find you still have plenty of room to work on this boat. The companion station has a drink holder so your partner can put his coffee down and check out the latest chart information. The large dry storage glove box in the top of the dash keeps the driver's license and fishing license dry and ready. Trolling motor batteries are mounted in the center box keeping that weight centerline and more manageable. Moving over to the driver's side you have a vinyl coated fixed position standard wheel. Standard analog gauges include fuel, speed and tachometer with two blanks for adding some in the future. Next to the dash is room to mount a fish finder like the Lowrance X-52 we had on our test model. Lighted rocker control switches beacon quickly identifying which switch is still on at night or in the early morning light as you head out. Even for its size, the 162 has great toe kick space for working the lines. On the port side in the cockpit you have rod storage and on the starboard side you have open slash pocket storage.More Fishing Features AftMoving on to the stern you have space to move another cockpit seat onto a casting seat post. The stern has a large engine splash well and port side storage box with a matching starboard side box both with locking lids. Forward of these boxes are a starboard side access to the cranking battery and a stern livewell with Flow Rite system.Specifications and PerformanceThe Smoker Craft 162 Pro Mag measures 16'5" length overall with a stable 86" beam width. Her dry weight is approximately 960lbs without engine. She is rated for a maximum load of 1300lbs of people, engine and gear. I found she handled well in the choppy, wind blown inland lake and made turns at moderate speeds without blow out or cavitation . She is on plane in just 2.7 seconds and reaches 30mph in 7.8 seconds. Her maximum speed reached 39mph at 6000rpm and her cruise speed was 22.1mph at 4000rpm for a maximum range of 114 miles on a full tank of fuel.For an easily manageable, easy to tow fishing machine, it will be hard to beat the Smoker Craft 162 Pro Mag.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Smoker Craft 162 Pro Mag is 39.0 mph (62.8 kph), burning 9.4 gallons per hour (gph) or 35.58 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Smoker Craft 162 Pro Mag is 22.1 mph (35.6 kph), and the boat gets 5.26 miles per gallon (mpg) or 2.24 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 114 miles (183.47 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 90-hp Honda four-stroke.

Sid Dinsdale, who is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, visited Nebraska City Tuesday offering encouragement to those skeptical about how new leadership can make the federal government more effective.
"We have to make three or four tough decisions and then get moving on the down the road," he said.
His campaign platform includes lower taxes, energy independence, repealing ObamaCare, term limits for the U.S. Congress and protecting our borders.
"I've helped create jobs, grow a business, met payroll and lived within my means. Washington can do the same thing," he said.
Sid Dinsdale, who is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, visited Nebraska City Tuesday saying growing the economy and shrinking federal government are cornerstones of his campaign.
"We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem," said Dinsdale, who was chairman of the board at the family-owned Pinnacle Bank in Omaha before announcing his bid for the senate on Sept. 16.
"We need to cut taxes. People are sick of watching the federal government spend beyond its means," he said.
A native of Palmer, Neb., Dinsdale said he is the only Republican candidate with an agricultural background, which includes an rural upbringing with work in a feedlot and hayfield, cutting silage and walking beans.
He said he is also the only Republican candidate who has expressed support for congressional term limits.
"No more than 12 years, that's my pledge," he said. "I want to go to Congress not owing anyone and making the right decisions. I'm not looking for a long, political career."
Dinsdale said he understands skepticism among Nebraskans regarding the federal government, but said there are only a few tough decisions for America to make so that it can surge forward.
For example, he said, with the right leadership America could achieve energy independence.
He compared it to President John F. Kennedy's call for a moon landing and President Ronald Reagan's call to tear down the Berlin Wall.
"With the right leadership we could achievement energy independence almost by default," he said.
His campaign platform also calls for reduced government regulation, lower taxes, repealing ObamaCare and protecting national borders.
Dinsdale described himself as a conservative, pro-life Republican.
He has served on the board of directors of the University of Nebraska Foundation, the Methodist Hospital Foundation and Ameritas Life.
He also served on the boards of Children's Hospital, Bellevue University, Elkhorn School Foundation and the Boy Scouts.

About Gtick
From Gtick's homepage:
"GTick is a metronome application written for GNU/Linux and other UN*X-like operting systems supporting different meters (Even, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and more) and speeds ranging from 10 to 1000 bpm. It utilizes GTK+ and OSS (ALSA compatible). It is part of the GNU Project.
This program has been originally written by Alex Roberts, but since he didn't have the time to develop and maintain it further, I (Roland Stigge) took it over (initially to package it for Debian, but there were too many "upstream" issues, so I decided to maintain the whole package). Since then, the program has been mainly rewritten (new DSP core, GTK+2 port, added features). "
From Gtick's homepage:
- Very easy handling
- Reliable timing
- Volume control
- Different meters (Even, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, more)
- Configurable speed (10 to 1000 BPM)
- Manual tapping input
- Customizable ticking sound
- Native language support for 20 languages: Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Irish, Italian, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese
- Separate audio thread for better realtime performance
- Customizable commands for metronome start / stop, e.g. for switching off the screensaver
- Options saved to rc file
- Customizable sound device
- Visual Tick
- Accent Attack Padding
- Configurable Accent Table
Get source from [1] and compile it.
It worked well for me on my SHR.
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
to get /dev/dsp .
Gtick has an option for executing commands on startup, so you can start compatility mode there.
I had this problem:speech-dispatcher blocking /dev/dsp .
For now just stop speech-dispatcher with
/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher stop
I have created a package for testing. It's my first package, and I haven't checked it for dependences yet, and you won't get a Icon on your desktop yet. Feel free to test it or make you own package and share it here (You'll find a nice icon on Gtick's homepage).
mssing dependencies:
- libsndfile
opkg install libsndfile
Start it from the command line:
or with ssh:
DISPLAY=:0 gtick
Tip: Use the app in landscape mode.
feel free to make it better :)
- create package
- make the interface more finger friendly

Just days after Buick's 110th birthday, General Motors has unveiled a new Buick Riviera Concept that it says demonstrates "Buick's future design language and technology strategy."
The sleek two-door sporty hybrid combines a classic fastback design with modern technology and aesthetics. Intriguingly, the GM press release announcing the Riviera Concept equates the vehicles bodylines with communism, saying: "The new Riviera's designers took inspiration from the Chinese saying: 'The greatest good is like water.' The vehicle's sweeping design, which goes from thick to thin, has the vibrant nature of a moving river embodied in its athletic shape, elegant ambience and deeply sculpted lines."
GM says a lot in its introductory release on the Riviera. It doesn't say much, though, about what it calls the "wireless plug-in hybrid electric" drivetrain. From what we've been able to gather, the powertrain is a plug-in hybrid unit akin to that of the Cadillac ELR. Distinctively, the Riviera will be charged either by wired plug in or by induction, with energy sent to the vehicle by way of magnetic waves.
The technology continues onto the interior where GM says the Riviera offers a 4G LTE network, which supports "real-time traffic information, weather updates, and news and entertainment while communicating with other vehicles."
While the infotainment tech might seem ordinary, the Riviera has been fitted with a new forward-looking safety system that used 10 high-resolution cameras and 10 micro high-precision sensors to create a holographic image that is projected onto the windshield.
Near the end of its release GM flippantly references an "autopilot" system in the Riviera Concept but gives no further details. We've reached out to a GM representative for more details so check back soon.
