For years I was my own worst enemy. I don't know what came first – the self-limiting beliefs that for so long ruled my life, or the society that taught me them. I was raised in an average middle-class Caucasian family with two parents who love me very much, yet for some reason I was never able to feel that. Material-wise we had everything we needed, but my emotional well ran dry at a very young age and it hasn't been until recently, in my late twenties, that I've learned how to fill it back up.
It is easy for me to blame the world around me for all of my problems, and a lot of that blame would be, and is, valid. This does not help project me forward however, and I am choosing to live my life differently now. I am choosing to live my life from a place of love and intention. This takes conscious thought, effort, and reprogramming of my brain, but I see, and most importantly, feel, the incredibly positive ways that living this way has improved my life and overall well-being.
I can't change the fact that I was first hospitalized for suicidal tendencies at 15 years old, or that in my delusional state of fear and wanting to numb the pain I overdosed at 17; that I was raped at 19, or that my lack of boundaries and self-worth lead me to being taken advantage of multiple times in multiple ways throughout my life. I can't change that at 24 I fell devastatingly ill with Lyme disease that would not be properly diagnosed or treated until I was almost bedridden.
My whole life everything felt so out of my control, and this need to control whatever I possibly could put me on life paths that were not for my highest and best self. Lately I've been practicing letting go. At times it feels unnatural, insecure, and simply terrifying, but as I let go of the need to control the smaller, insignificant details I am watching a beautiful life unfold before me.
I know now that we are all just doing the best we can and I understand the immense benefit of assuming good intentions of others. I've experienced how life can miraculously shift when I remove my fear-based lenses, stop receiving the world around me through my eyes of pain, trauma and disconnect, and instead through lenses of love, compassion, empathy and understanding.
Nothing will undo the excruciating pain that I have lived through, but I can use my journey and newfound positivity to assist others in doing it differently. No one needs to stay stuck, going through the motions of this life. No child needs to grow up feeling unworthy and unloved despite having parents with the very best of intentions. We each have access to choices every day that will determine how we view our lives and how we affect the world around us – and whether we like it or not, we do affect the world around us with everything we do, say, and think. Everything is energy and this energy is all connected.
As we walk through our lives, we have the power in each moment to choose whether we heal the world around us or hurt it. My goal with this blog is not to blame or shame anyone for my past or my pain, but to inspire you to live your life intentionally; healing, rather than hurting, yourself and the world around you. I believe that the state of our planet currently is proof that if we do not live intentionally, we accidentally walk through our lives letting our own inner pain seep out and damage the world and the people around us.
While my truest, wholehearted commitment to my writing is to only be 100% honest and raw, I appreciate and respect that everyone perceives scenarios through their own eyes. Although my perceptions are honest and valid, they may not always show the whole story. I ask that you take my perceptions with a grain of salt, understanding that at times it's difficult for me to see clearly through my own pain and trauma, and that I can only truly know what is clearly communicated to me. I take people at their own word, and I cannot read minds or attempt to understand other people's reasoning or intentions if they do not clearly express them to me. If what someone says does not align with how they're truly feeling, I struggle to read through the grey areas and tend to receive the information exactly how I heard it – which I am coming to understand is not always how they truly meant it.


Both these circuits are remarkable in that they can flash an LED from a single 1.5V battery. A typical LED needs 2-3V to work properly and both these circuits include a voltage doubler to boost the voltage to drive the LED. Both circuits will operate continiously for several months on an alkaline AA battery. I have one circuit that is still flashing (ca. 1 second flash rate) after 10 years of continious service on one HP2 Duracell battery !
The transistor circuit is included because of the recent difficulty in finding a supplier for the LM3909 flasher IC. The designer (Michael Kin, Electronics World, p.483, June 1998) claimed that the transistor circuit should operate for greater lengths of time than the IC circuit. See for yourself in the results below which show the battery voltage and flash rate comparisons for the two circuits left-on for a number of months.
Bat info: two AA 'Duracell Ultra' bats were used for the test taken from a two AA pack (bats. marked b.b.f MAR 2007).

These drawings are White Charcoal Pencil on Black Artagain Paper.
This type of drawing is one of my personal favorites. It is also a different type of challenge to draw. You could look at it as the opposite of a regular drawing on white paper. Instead of filling in the shaded areas, you fill in the light areas. It takes a little getting use to because once you get accostomed to shading in the dark areas, it's like your brain resists doing the opposite. My first couple of drawings were a real challenge but now my brain seems to understand the concept much better and I'm drawing them with ease.
Unfortunately, art suppply manufacturers don't seem to see enough demand to make different values in white leads like they do with black. That creates another challenge in itself, you basically have to draw all your different values with one pencil. Its a lot trying to draw a masterpiece with a standard no.2 pencil! Hopefully, one day, they will start making them in different values.
If you decide to take on this type of drawing, just be patient with yourself. Give yourself time to really grasp the concept of drawing oppositely. I shade darker white values by filling them in very lightly, then I use a q-tip applicator to smear the charcoal. You can always test before you actually draw. Tyhe key thing here is PATIENCE! Good luckand have fun!
In the picture above, you can see me drawing Prince using a General's White Charcaol Pencil 558. I also use a Sharpie Peel-Off China Marker. I only use the Sharpie for very fine white lines, I can easily shapen it to a very fine point but the value is about the same as the General's.
White Charcoal Pencil on Black Artigan Paper has become a favorite passion of mine. Creating one presents several challenges. First, you don't have a variety of values/shades of pencils, so you are pretty much limited to only one! Secondly, it's the opposite of creating a drawing with regular pencils. Instead of shading in the dark areas, you shade in the light ones. Attempting one of these drawings is a lot like re-trainning your brain to go against everything you have learned about drawing. I started out using this technique to shake things up a little and challenge myself artistically. Now I have embraced it and it is one of my favorite techniques!

With an intricate design and a distinctive top inspired by classic mosaic floors, this decorative two-layer tin adds a dash of global style and color to any room. A perfect combination all in one; a candle poured in the bottom tin and delicious caramels housed in the top. This beautiful tin lends itself to wonderful repurposing once the wax is gone!
These colorful tins are used storing tea and other fun objects. We thought they would be perfect as a candle and treat keeper. Display them together, store your favorite treats beside the candle, or place the two pieces in separate rooms altogether. The two layers look great together AND apart! Each soy blend candle burns for over 35 hours and will fit just about anywhere.
A favorite treat of ours! Rich, creamy caramel with crystals of Hawaiian black sea salt. These caramels melt in your mouth. The top tier includes 10 pieces of caramel.


Thumbs Up For These Peeps, Thumbs Down 4 GOMI!
I do not own the rights to pictures of The Fonz from Happy Days. Would be funny if I did though right!
If you aren't familiar with Get Off My Internets (GOMI), it's pretty much a bunch of gossipy haters that like to criticize the posts, videos, and websites of some of the internet's biggest personalities. They seem to GET OFF on tearing people down and criticizing their hard work. I like accountability and all, but this website is really just pretty pathetic when it comes right down to it. I don't know what came first, this website or Gossip Girl (I've only seen 2.4 episodes I swear), but it seems kind of similar. I'm not on the site at all to my knowledge, maybe because I'm a dude or just am not nearly popular enough at this point, but the negativity of this site really got me thinking. If I had the energy and time, I'd make a ripoff site called Get ON My Internets featuring helpful, positive, honest, and enthusiastic social media influencers and ballin bloggers instead of being one that cuts down everyone in seething jealousy and insecurity.
Why am I starting with Brandon? Because I think he's one of the biggest hidden gems in fitness, YouTube, and comedy. He's a personal trainer / comedian out of California with a pretty great sense of humor, a very strong and genuine desire to help people, and he's jacked as hell! He's helped and entertained so many people, but he's also very modest and self-deprecating, so I have to be the promotional jackass to put his great stuff out there! He has over 2 million YouTube views and some interesting and consistent content yet I rarely hear anyone talking about him. I hope that changes in short time, he definitely deserves it. You should check his stuff out for yourself!
An epic blogger, vlogger, fitness instructor and media guru. From the concrete jungle where dreams are made of (there's nothing you can't do). This Fit Chick has tons of great posts on workouts, fitness media, lifestyle, and pop culture. Delicious and nutritious stuff for your brain! Check out her site!! NO SLEEP TIL BROOKLYN!
Scooby's Workshop on YouTube is one of the first workout channels online and he's got 200 MILLION views to show for it! He's pretty much the father of YouTube Fitness for Men, and puts out some great videos and articles to help beginners and pretty much anyone get in great workouts in their home or on the go. He's pretty damn helpful and has a great attitude towards helping others while not being about profit margins.
Start with a YouTube/Fitness hidden gem, and I'll end with another! Jack Nauss is 18 years old and he's got over 200 YouTube Fitness videos, over 25k subscribers, and over a million views! He's a freak of a natural bodybuilder, a hard worker, and is always very supportive and helpful to anyone who communicates with him online. If he keeps up his work ethic, this guy could be the next fitness icon! If you have a question, especially on youth fitness or teen bodybuilding (or youth entrepreneurship in my opinion), this is the guy to ask.
More posts like this to come down the road! I apologize for missing you in the first batch, time to go back to watching Gossip Girl...I mean doing manly things! Cars, Bench Press, Babes, and so forth.
Stay Positive Everyone and Don't Feed The Trolls!

The H is SIilent
March 22, 2018 June 25, 2021 Marcie Beyatte
In the Italian Language, The H is Silent
When I told my Italian friends, I was going to Genoa specifically to see the Monumental Cemetery at Staglieno they expressed disbelief.
"But of course, you will visit the aquarium? You must take the time to see San Lorenzo cathedral and the national gallery in Palazzo Spinola!"
Information about visiting cemeteries is not in most guidebooks. I am part of a small but dedicated minority who visit cemeteries wherever we go in the world. Staglieno is not far from Firenze where I was living and the trip gave me the opportunity to see the coastal towns on the way.
Once I entered through the gates of Staglieno, a middle-aged man approached me and offered to be my guide. Mario's fee was ten euros for an hour and he spoke only Italian. Delighted that I would have a chance to further develop my Italian listening skills and at the same time learn about the cemetery, I agreed.
Mario was passionate about the art and history of Staglieno. He was also a close talker with breath that smelled like one of oldest residents of the cemetery. When I backed away, he stepped closer.
He said, "The marble from Carrera is very porous and absorbs dirt, smog and over time turns various shades of smoky grey. Though the city installed bathrooms in the cemetery, it didn't pay for restoration work. That is the responsibility of the family who owns the grave."
Clearly, some families have stopped caring for their relative's final resting place yet many monuments were lovingly intact and works of art on their own.
When my hour was with Mario was over, I headed to the section I had noticed marked Israelites. Here most graves were overrun with weeds. Broken headstones were common. On only one grave, I recognized the ancient Jewish tradition of placing a pebble on the headstone to show that someone had visited.
Many of the graves were so eroded by time you couldn't tell who was buried there or for how long. Even with my limited Italian, I could understand the headstone of Maurizio Wax:
Vittima dell'odio Nazista, Victim of the Nazi hatred
Broken headstones, decaying plastic flowers and even an open grave made me imagine it was still 1943 after a group of Blackshirts had ransacked the place on a Saturday night.
I had been in Italy for four months studying Italian and failing to find good reasons why I shouldn't live here for the rest of my life. I had visited the lone temples in Rome and Florence, as well as the tiny synagogues high above the square in the Ghetto of Venice.
The Jewish population had clearly been decimated by the holocaust and immigration. The families that remained in Italy were trying to rejuvenate, welcoming tourists into their temples, establishing museums and even opening a few successful kosher restaurants.
The Italians I met were embarrassed to discuss their country's role in the holocaust. Everyone had family who fought in the resistance and saved Jews. In La Piccola Gerusalemme in Pitigliano, there is only one Jewish resident remaining. The sign outside the synagogue read:
The building was almost totally rebuilt in 1995 having fallen down during the sixties after it had been left because of the extinction of the Jewish community in Pitigliano.
After this trip to Staglieno, I continued further north, near the Austrian border. I found the mountain scenery breathtaking, especially as I watched a train weaving its way in and out of the tunnels carved into the rock. But I could imagine the boxcars loaded with Jews going through the small villages on their way to the death camps.
I read about The Memory Train, a travelling installation in a vintage steam locomotive hauling two carriages containing pictures of child Holocaust victims. It toured German cities and reached Auschwitz on May 8, 2008. When it stopped in Berlin, people waited in line for four hours to see the train.
The state funded Bahn Rail Company, also the train provider of Nazi Germany, has charged the organizers of The Memory Train a steep toll to park the train in the station. A Bahn spokesman said, "The company had to treat all customers equally and not allow some a free ride."
When I studied the Italian alphabet, I learned that the letter H or ache is always silent. It's there, but not ever pronounced. Much like (h) olocasto, (H) itler and (h) ebreo.

The Problem of The Soup
Happy New Year from Three countries


Popped in for a quick one on a late Saturday afternoon. The rain was just about holding off and so standing outside was okay, thankfully as the pub itself is very narrow so easily crowded.
The beer was very well kept, the barmaids were serving quickly and friendly, a good effort given how very popular the pub is. All in all a very good pub for those who like their real ale.
Came here to eat upstairs with the wife on a Friday night. This has never been the best of pubs for a drink, previous comments were fair a couple of years ago, but it's gone downhill. Loud and quite chavvy, a fun atmosphere in a way I guess. They never used to put much effort in the beers and have completely given up the ghost as the handpumps are still on display but there's nothing in them. So lager it is.
The food is nice enough. Fairly priced, reasonably tasty but it's fairly standard fare and nothing special.

Q: Java program to sort a list of date which is in format dd MMM yyyy Input is a list containing date in String format. I have solution as below. But i feel it can be made more efficient. Any help would be appreciated.
//Map to store month data
HashMap<String,String> month = new HashMap<String,String>();
        month.put("Jan","01");
        month.put("Feb","02");
        month.put("Mar","03");
        month.put("Apr","04");
        month.put("May","05");
        month.put("Jun","06");
        month.put("Jul","07");
        month.put("Aug","08");
        month.put("Sep","09");
        month.put("Oct","10");
        month.put("Nov","11");
        month.put("Dec","12");

You can consider this as input
    String[] input = {"20 Oct 2052",
    "26 May 1960",
    "06 Jun 1933",
    "06 Jun 1933",
    "06 Jun 1933",
};

    ArrayList<Long> temp1 = new ArrayList<Long>();

To compare result
    HashMap<Long,String> temp2 = new HashMap<Long,String>();

    ArrayList<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
    for(int i = 0 ; i< input.length ; i++){
        String j = "";
        if(input[i].length() == 11){

            j+= input[i].substring(7,11);
            j+= month.get(input[i].substring(3,6));
            j+=input[i].substring(0,2);

            temp1.add(Long.parseLong(j));
            temp2.put(Long.parseLong(j), input[i]);
        }
    }

Sorting the result
Collections.sort(temp1);

Printing the result
System.out.println(temp1.toString());

A: Radix Sort is your friend. Just sort strings with this algorithm. This is optimal solution.

A: Firstly I would parse the date strings into a Date Object
DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
Date date = format.parse("26 May 1960");

You could create an object that holds a Date object then make it comparable.
public class DateContainer implements Comparable<DateContainer > {
 private Date dateTime;

 public DateContainer (Date date){
  this.dateTime = date;
 }

 public Date getDateTime() {
  return dateTime;
 }

 public void setDateTime(Date datetime) {
  this.dateTime = datetime;
 }

 @Override
 public int compareTo(DateContainer o) {
   return getDateTime().compareTo(o.getDateTime());
 }
}

Then you could create a list of the Object above then use Collections to sort it
Collections.sort(myList);

A: public static void main(String[] args) {
    SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");
    String[] input = {"20 Oct 2052",
            "26 May 1960",
            "06 Jun 1933",
            "06 Jun 1933",
            "06 Jun 1933",
    };
    Map<Long, String> result = new TreeMap<>();
    Stream.of(input)
            .filter(s -> s.length() == 11)
            .forEach(s -> {
                try {
                    result.put(f.parse(s).getTime(), s);
                } catch (ParseException e) {
                    System.out.println("Wrong Format: " + s);
                }
            });
    System.out.println(result); // {-1154156400000=06 Jun 1933, -303033600000=26 May 1960, 2612970000000=20 Oct 2052}
}

Use SimpleDateFormat to get Date value and TreeMap to sorted elements in the map.
Hope that help you!!!!

A: This should do the trick
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");

List<Date> dates = Arrays.stream(input).map(dateString -> {
try {
    return simpleDateFormat.parse(dateString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
    return null;
}).collect(Collectors.toList());
dates.sort(Comparator.naturalOrder());

dates.forEach(date -> System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date)));

this is a 2 step process

*

*Convert to java.util.Date

*Sort the Date list and Print

Hope this helps!
Good luck!

A: tl;dr
This is a one-liner using modern java.time classes and lambda syntax.
Parse each string into a LocalDate, collect, sort, and regenerate strings as output.
Arrays.stream(
        new String[] { "20 Oct 2052" , "26 May 1960" , "06 Jun 1933" , "06 Jun 1933" , "06 Jun 1933" }
)
        .map( input -> LocalDate.parse( input , DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "dd MMM uuuu" , Locale.US ) ) )
        .sorted()
        .map( date -> date.format( DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "dd MMM uuuu" , Locale.US ) ) )
        .collect( Collectors.toList() )
        .toString()

[06 Jun 1933, 06 Jun 1933, 06 Jun 1933, 26 May 1960, 20 Oct 2052]

Steps:

*

*Generate a stream of your array's elements (the string inputs).

*Process each input, parsing to get a LocalDate

*Sort the LocalDate objects

*On each LocalDate, generate text representing its value.

*Collect each of those generated strings into a List.

*Generate text representing the list of strings, now sorted in chronological order.

Smart objects, not dumb strings
Use appropriate data types rather than mere strings.
For a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone, use LocalDate class.
Define a formatting pattern to match your inputs.
DateTimeFormatter f = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern( "dd MMM uuuu" , Locale.US );

Loop the inputs, parsing each into a LocalDate. Collect each resulting LocalDate into a List.
    List < LocalDate > dates = new ArrayList <>( inputs.length );
    for ( String input : inputs ) {
        LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse( input , f );
        dates.add( ld );
    }

Or instead, use the short and sweet lambda syntax.
List < LocalDate > dates = Arrays.stream( inputs ).map( input -> LocalDate.parse( input , f ) ).collect( Collectors.toList() );

Sort the list of LocalDate objects.
Collections.sort( dates );

About java.time
The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.
The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.
To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.
You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes.
Where to obtain the java.time classes?

*

*Java SE 8, Java SE 9, Java SE 10, Java SE 11, and later  - Part of the standard Java API with a bundled implementation.

*

*Java 9 adds some minor features and fixes.

*Java SE 6 and Java SE 7

*

*Most of the java.time functionality is back-ported to Java 6 & 7 in ThreeTen-Backport.

*Android

*

*Later versions of Android bundle implementations of the java.time classes.

*For earlier Android (<26), the ThreeTenABP project adapts ThreeTen-Backport (mentioned above). See How to use ThreeTenABP….

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

In Memoriam: Thomas Schleich (1938–2020)
To: UC Santa Cruz Community
From: Ilan Benjamin and Glenn Millhauser, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Thomas Schleich
It is with deep sadness that we report the passing of our wonderful colleague Professor Thomas Schleich. Born in 1938 and originally from Staten Island, New York, Tom received his bachelor's degree from Cornell University and his Ph.D. from Rockefeller University. After graduate school, he moved to Dartmouth University and then the University of Oregon, where he pursued postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Professor Peter von Hippel, specializing in biophysical chemistry.
Tom joined the UCSC faculty in 1969 and initiated a groundbreaking research program focused on the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) approaches for studying protein structure and dynamics. As his research matured, Tom narrowed his attention to the unique proteins of the eye lens, which are remarkably dense in concentration yet avoid crystallization or aggregation. Tom pioneered a technique known as off-resonance rotating-frame relaxation measurements for determining how eye lens proteins move and tumble in their natural environment. In turn, these elegant approaches provided deep molecular insights into vision processes and how such processes fail in conditions such as cataracts. As a testament to the importance of his research, Tom maintained years of steady funding from the National Institutes of Health. Moreover, in collaboration with Professor Phillip Crews, Tom raised federal and private funds to establish the first instruments in what is now a thriving UCSC NMR Facility.
Beyond his research, Tom was a generous and selfless mentor to his graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young chemistry colleagues. As a research advisor, Tom guided a number of outstanding young scientists to their graduate degrees. Several of these students have gone on to highly successful academic careers. As a chemistry colleague, Tom served three separate terms as department chair, guiding the department's growth and the hiring of outstanding young faculty. While in this leadership role, Tom's door was always open to any of us seeking advice on negotiating the twists and turns of academic life.
We remember Tom as an incredibly warm, outgoing colleague with an infectious, booming laugh that echoed through the chemistry halls. He exuded a love of science and academics, which set the stage for the collegial, forward-thinking environment that characterizes the current Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Tom was a true leader. Even after he retired, Tom routinely came back to the department to catch up with current research, meet new faculty, and look over new instrumentation—especially NMR spectrometers! Tom was also an accomplished photographer and printmaker, with works featured in annual and juried shows around the Santa Cruz community. Those of us who knew Tom feel incredibly fortunate to have had him in our lives.
Tom is survived by his wife, Annelies de Kater, and stepdaughter Rachel Truesdell.

Q: Wordpress Checkbox never updates on profile page Totally stumped.  I have a checkbox on the user profile page but it refuses to update.  Its not even an array set value or anything, just never sets...Seems like no data gets passed to the post value...
updated as per @RST and now as per @simon-pollard
   // This will show below the color scheme and above username field
add_action( 'profile_personal_options', 'extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'update_field_value' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'update_field_value' );

function extra_profile_fields( $user ) {
    // get the value of a single meta key
    $user_id =  $user->ID;
    echo "user id: " . $user_id . "
";
    $meta_value = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'emailPrefs', true ); // $user contains WP_User object
    // do something with it.
  echo "checked value: " . $meta_value. "
";

    }

}

A: Thanks @Simon.  With his help, I saw that the $user object was not accessible on that update hook meaning the user_meta never updated.  To work around this I've created a hidden form field to store my userID so that it's available as a post variable.
Here is the Final Code:
// This will show below the color scheme and above username field
add_action( 'profile_personal_options', 'extra_profile_fields' );
add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'update_field_value' );
add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'update_field_value' );

function extra_profile_fields( $user ) {
    // get the value of a single meta key
    $user_id =  $user->ID;
    echo "user id: " . $user_id . "
";
    $meta_value = get_user_meta( $user->ID, 'emailPrefs', true ); // $user contains WP_User object
    // do something with it.
  echo "checked value: " . $meta_value. "
";
    ?>

Conversion, and dreaming the impossible dream
by Pornchai Moontri
Editor's note: Pornchai Moontri was received into the Catholic Church on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2010. He has been frequently featured at the website of Fr. Gordon Macrae: TheseStoneWalls.
I can always tell when there's something up, when the mind of my friend has been churning. All the signs were there. I was up on my top bunk doing homework for a course in Accounting. Father G leaned against the concrete wall of this prison cell. He folded his arms, and waited for me to put down my pencil to ask what's up.
When other prisoners came to the cell door , like they do all day long, he held up a finger and looked all serious, the signal to come back in five minutes. It was funny watching them slink away as if they just interrupted the State of-the Union Address or something.
Whenever Father G. has a new idea, it always makes me squirm a little because it usually means my mind and spirit are about to be stretched again. "How would you like to write a guest post for These Stone Walls?" he asked. Since English is not my first language, writing is very difficult for me. At first, I was excited about this idea. Then I was given a deadline, and I got nervous. Then nervous turned into dread, and now I just feel very intimidated by the whole thing.
Once I saw an episode of "Family Guy," a cartoon TV show. Peter, Chris's dad, went back to school. During a math test, all the students reached into their desks to take out calculators, but Peter pulled out an Asian kid and poked him with his pencil saying, "Do math! Do math!" I thought it was pretty funny, and sometimes Father G. pokes me with a pencil when I'm doing math homework and says, "Do math!" Everyone laughs, especially me. He says he wishes he had my ability in math. He says he's still trying to figure out how the calculator makers get all those answers into those little tiny batteries. I wish I could trade a little math skill for a little writing skill right now. G said not to worry, to just write whatever comes to my mind and he will put in some commas and fix my spelling. He also told me to write about me and not him, but it isn't a true story if I leave him out. So here goes.
A PRISONER AT THE TRUE EXODUS
Please understand that there are no titles in prison so I know Father G as just G. We were friends for a long while before I found out he is a Catholic priest. I was not surprised at all. We were friends for four years when I became a Catholic. Like I wrote in "Pornchai's Story," G never asked me to become a Catholic. He never even mentioned it. It is the path he is on and I was pulled to it by grace like a meteor is pulled by gravity. It was not sudden. It was slow, like the Uncle Screwtape quote in G's article, "Accommodations in the Garden of Good and Evil." It was just in the opposite direction from what Uncle Screwtape described. It happened when the nightmare I was living was slowly changed into a dream.
It was just as G wrote about in "The Gravity of Grace: When Bad Things Happen to Good People." I know today that my life was never what I once thought it was. It was never just a series of accidents and bad events driving me ever deeper to the despair I wrote about in "Pornchai's Story." Instead, I was led down a path to hope because I took the risk of finally trusting someone.
I used to really struggle with whether I dared to believe in God, or to even have faith and hope. These are risky for those of us who have known despair. Today, faith sometimes still feels like a dream, but like I wrote in "Pornchai's story," something that I read in Pope Benedict's book, Jesus of Nazareth, had a great impact on me:
"Among all the paths of history, the path to God is the true direction that we must seek and find." (Jesus of Nazareth, p. 4)
I didn't read that whole book, of course. I tried to, but I'm not afraid to say the Holy Father's wisdom is beyond my understanding. G was reading it one night, and as he sometimes does when I'm watching my favorite TV show, he handed the book up to me during a commercial with that line highlighted. I read it just to humor him, but I knew right away that what I read is the truth, and I did not forget it. A few nights later, he did it again. I was in the middle of watching a TV show when he handed up the book with this highlighted on the page:
"Purification of heart comes as a consequence of following Christ, of becoming one with him. 'It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.' (Galatians 2:20)." (Jesus of Nazareth, p. 95).
That was also the truth, and it was then that I knew my own heart was being purified for some greater purpose I can so far only dream about. I'm glad Pope Benedict wrote that book. When he became Pope in April, 2005, I did not even know about it and never dreamed that it would matter to me some day. I was in a maximum security cell in a prison in another state. In an article published in Solitary Watch, I described my life in solitary confinement in a "Supermax" prison.
THE ROAD TO PERDITION
I was a teenager when I went to prison. Over the years, I was sent back to solitary confinement over and over, for up to three-and-a-half years at a time, because I was so hostile. The longer I was there each time, the more inhuman I felt and became. Living for years on end in solitary confinement joined with the guilt I felt for the life I took during a struggle when I was 18 years old. So I just gave up on myself as a human being. I sank to the very bottom of the prison I was in, and stayed there.
Then in the spring of 2005, after almost 14 years in and out of solitary confinement, I was told that I was to be shipped to another prison in another state. I sat for 10 months alone in my cell wondering about whatever hell was coming next, and I told myself I didn't care what comes next. Then one day, guards in riot gear came and chained me up. They put me in a van, and drove off. I thought I was on my way to Boston, to be put on a chartered plane to take me to some prison in the lowest reaches of hell in a place I would never be heard from again. So I was surprised when we exited off the highway after a few hours and stopped at a building with a big blue sign, the New Hampshire State Prison. Then I was quickly taken to that old, familiar place, solitary confinement.
When G was writing last month about Skooter and Donald and me in "Bitter Herbs before the Exodus," he came in from the Prison Library where he works one day and showed me a quote he found in the book, Dante's Inferno. I heard of this book it but I never read it. I thought Dante knew of my past when he wrote this great quote that G used:
"Midway on our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself in a dark wood. How shall I say what wood that was? I never saw so drear, so rank, so arduous a wilderness! Its very memory gives a shape to fear! Death could scarcely be more bitter than that place! But since it came to good, I will recount all that I found revealed there by God's grace." ("The Dark Wood of Error," The Inferno, Dante Aligheri).
I thought, "Who is this guy, Dante, and why has he been following me around? This one little quote seems to be the next chapter in my story. I was emerging from a dark wood. It was early 2006, six years ago, when I emerged from this new prison's segregation unit. By that point, I had lost most of my teens, all of my twenties, and was well into my thirties when I met G. I had spent so much time in Dante's Dark Wood of Error that I did not know any way out, and I pretended that I didn't care.
I remember my very first conversation with G. My young Indonesian friend, JJ, introduced me to him in the prison chow hall one day. JJ thought G could help me. I was real hostile, and told G I just wanted him to help me get transferred to a prison in Bangkok, Thailand. "Be careful what you ask for," he said. "I won't help you pursue something that will only further destroy you." I didn't care, so why on Earth should he care?
Angry Prisoner
I was hostile to G for a long time. I had mastered the art of driving anyone who cared away from me, but in G I met my match. Over time I was able to see that under my anger was a lot of hurt and pain, and G saw it and helped me to see it too. Over the next few years, G and I discussed a lot about the life of Saint Maximilian Kolbe and about Saint Padre Pio. I drifted like an iceberg that was ever so slowly melting, and before I realized it, I was caught up in what happened to Saint Maximilian. I never had a hero, and he became one. I suddenly felt as though I was no longer just adrift at sea; the ice was all gone. Four years after my arrival in this new prison, on the day before Divine Mercy Sunday in 2010, G and I walked to the Prison Chapel where Fr. Anthony Kuzia, a nearby priest, Baptized and Confirmed me.
The next morning, Divine Mercy Sunday, I received my First Eucharist. I stepped that day out of the Dark Wood of Error into the light of day – the light of Christ. If anyone had told me of this just five years earlier, I would have thought them insane. Every demon that once controlled my life was expelled, and I was free.
In two or three years from now, after 23 years in prison, I might be able to petition for some commutation of the second half of my sentence. If the commutation petition is successful on the first or second try, then another nightmare becomes real. On the day I leave this prison, I will be brought to another prison to await deportation to where my life story began: Thailand.
After being taken from Thailand against my will at age 11, I will be forced to go back there at age 41, with most of the years in between spent in prison. I do not know how I will live or support myself, and I fear being stranded there. G and others have tried to find connections for me in Thailand, but G is in prison too. Every time something promising has surfaced and our hopes have risen, it just drifts into silence again. We had some contact awhile back with someone in the Thai Government, and with someone in the Catholic Church in Thailand, but it is a long time since they have responded to anything.
Now I am being asked to tell of my dreams, but do I dare to have dreams? The next chapter feels dark and empty, and trust is, like G has written, "a precious commodity in prison easily lost, and not very easily replaced." In February, my Godfather, Pierre Matthews, whose childhood meeting with Padre Pio G wrote about just two weeks ago, sent me a letter with some questions. He wanted me to describe what my dreams are. He wrote that it is important that I put them into words, and he is right.
Five years ago, I didn't have any dreams. I didn't have any future either. I had only a past. Having dreams means risking some trust and hope that they might come true. Today, building on the trust that Divine Mercy began in me is my only hope. It's also the best I can do right now.
But, Godfather, I do have dreams. I dream of having an opportunity to reach those who are lost like I was, and broken, and brokenhearted, and lead them to Christ. I dream that I will be able to help young people who have had all trust broken and taken away from them. I dream that I will be able to live my life in freedom and in service to others. I dream that I will have the chance to honor someone who sought only my good despite his own captivity. I dream that I will live this life as a Catholic. I dream that I will be led to where I am supposed to go and that I will not be all alone when I get there. What used to be just a nightmare is now my dream.
The people who reach into this prison through These Stone Walls have shown me a side of life in this world that before I met G I never knew existed. They have shown me what it means to be true believers. Someone sent me a prayer by Blessed John Henry Newman. It says God will send us "a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons." Father G says that trust in Divine Mercy means that somewhere in this world is a link in a chain for me, a bond of connection between me and Thailand so I am not sent alone into oblivion. I want with all my heart to trust in such grace.
Father G says that person is out there, and he and I now ask your help to find that link in a chain by sending my story everywhere you can. He says it is time to wake up the Catholic on-line world with a project. So please help me find some ties in Thailand. It's not as funny as it sounds!
I have taken the Christian name, Maximilian, in honor of the great saint who gave his life in service to his neighbor in the horror of prison at Auschwitz. As Knights in Saint Maximilian's Knights at the Foot of the Cross, Father G and I both sacrifice the dreams of today for a greater good. But we need your help with the dreams of tomorrow.
Don Quixote, the Man of LaMancha, says I must have dreams, even impossible dreams. He says it is the duty of a Knight to dream. I must listen to him. We should all listen to him.
Pornchai Moontri is incarcerated at a supermax prison in New Hampshire.

1935 Dodge K52 Airflow
• The first Dodge K52 Airflow was produced in December 1934,
• 249 Dodge Airflows were built Between 1934 and 1939
• 29 airflow trucks were made for the Standard Oil Company, based in New Jersey and California
• In 1935 Standard 'Oil established British Columbia operations and this is the only Airflow truck brought into Canada when new.
• a K52 Airflow was driven from California to Begg Motors, a Vancouver Chrysler dealer, and purchased by Standard Oil representatives on August 14, 1935
• The tank was built by Beale of Portland Ore. Now Beale Transliner. Beale says all blueprints had been destroyed by fire in the early 40's.
• The truck as it is now is exactly as it was when it left the Transportation Museums upon it's closure ca 1992,
• From 1935-1945 this K52, with 1275 gallon fuel capacity, remained on the job six days a week delivering gasoline to local Chevron stations.
• Standard Oil Co. drivers were F.A. Webber, Frank Darlan and Ed Rainbow.
• In 1945, a Federal truck with the Airflow's tank temporarily installed replaced the Airflow on Standard's delivery route.
• The Airflow tank was discarded once a new tank was fitted to the federal truck. It has never been recovered.
• The truck was purchased from standard Oil by Bob King in 1947 and put in storage at his 37 Pender St. garage until 1972.
• Provincial Museum staff carried out a complete restoration between 1575 and 1977, Except for the missing tank.
• Available from 1934 through 1940 by special request, the Dodge Airflow trucks used an unique waterfall grille to mimic the Chrysler Airflow car. Often fitted with streamlined tanker bodies and sold to oil companies such as Esso, Standard Oil and Texaco.
• Under it's stylish body the trucks were pure conventional Dodge
• With a production run of approx. 260 trucks, they were named based on their capacities and weight: K-52, LM-70, LM-71, and the RX-70 and RX-71 had 331 cu. in. (5,430 cc) engines with 100 horsepower.
• Most of the tank bodies were built by Garwood Industries and Heil Co. of Milwaukee, Wis. and two bodies were built for Schlitz Brewing Company by Barkow Co., of Milwaukee.
• Compartments behind and ahead of the fender skirts gave the Texaco trucks some trunk space.
Under it's stylish body the trucks were pure conventional Dodge and over their run of approx. 260 trucks they were named K-52, LM-70, LM-71, RX-70 and RX-71 depending on their capacities and weight. The later RX70 and RX71 models, had a 331 cu. in. (5,430 cc) engine with 100 horsepower

Q: How to rename images in a folder after an image is deleted from them? I have 5 images in a folder. The name of the images are:
img1.jpg
img2.jpg
img3.jpg
img4.jpg
img5.jpg
If I delete img3, I want the other images below 3 to move up and  be renamed like:
img1.jpg
img2.jpg
img3.jpg
img4.jpg
I can delete specific image from the folder like this:
     int i = 3;
     string imgpath = @"C:\images" + "/" + "img" + i.ToString() + ".jpg";
     File.Delete(imgpath );

But how do I rename the images below img3 ?

A: As suggested by David, I used a loop as below to fix the issue:
   int filecount = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly).Length;
   int position = 3
    for (int i = position; i < filecount ; i++)
   {
     string filename1= @"C:\images" + "/" + "img" + (i + 1).ToString() + ".jpg";
     string filename2= @"C:\images" + "/" + "img" + (i).ToString() + ".jpg";
     File.Move(filename1, filename2);
   }


Commodoreman's Mainpage - Your link to Commodore 64, Commodore 128, C64, C128, SX-64, 1541, 1571, 1581, & many other things Commodore related.
This site is primarily focused on Commodore computers which were developed during the late 1970's and '80's. This includes the Commodore PET/CBM, VIC20, Commodore 64, Commodore 64c, Commodore SX-64, Commodore 128, Commodore 128D, Commodore 16, Commodore Plus/4, etc...(new technologies will be included as well).They are some of the most popular computers ever developed and sold--still to this date.
I have been slowly building this site and there are more pages to see and files to access. I have many projects that I would like to add, and as time goes by I will add them.
I have also provided links to other sites that offer quality services or information when I find them. If there is anything you would like to contribute, you can email me and I will evaluate what you have. This site is for improving the quality of the Commodore computing experience.
Also, you will notice the absence of fancy graphics and animations...I have attempted to make this site dial-up friendly and a site overloaded with java crap hogs bandwidth and storage space. This I prefer to reserve for Commodore-related stuff.
Theoretical Successor to the C128...Actual functional system under current development. Can't wait to get my hands on this!
* C256 Foenix Project! - Stefany has been busy creating a new (old style) computer!
A prototype was introduced at CRX 2018 this year.
This is worth checking out! You can find it HERE ... awesome stuff!!
- I just recently received an order from Inkfair.com. I purchased ribbons for my Seikosha SP1000VC and Panasonic KX-P2624. This is still a viable source for ribbons!
* TextConvert - I have created a new program called TextConvert for converting text files to/from Commodore PETASCII on a Windows-based computer. I am asking a small fee for a single user license, but if you have lots of SEQ files on your IBM compatible, this could be quite a handy tool. Also, I have added the capability to read Word Writer 5 and PaperClipIII documents! Click HERE for more information (and access to a shareware version).
Update: Using TextConvert, I was able to read text from a converted GeoWrite file (using ww5 checkbox).
* Web Links - I have noticed an increasing problem with many Commodore-related websites. There are many links to other sites that are no longer valid! I sense a disturbing trend, one which I have been anticipating. The Commodore community is continuing to condense. I have not been able to access CommodoreUSA - rumer is that one of the owners had passed away. While cloaking a PC in classic Commodore-style cases did not impress me, I did hope that there would be more support from them for us who still use authentic equipment.
This site typically provides documents in several formats, mostly .odt, .wpd, .txt, seq, .pdf, and .rtf. Note: For those not familiar with .odt, .odt files were created using NeoOffice (Mac) and OpenOffice (Windows), and LibreOffice (Linix) which you can obtain for free (highly recommended).


You have to wonder if this would really work.
It could…to be utilitarian, doing the best for everybody.
However, how about the young children that really have to concept of right and wrong.
There are a lot of things being done wrong…but, we can train most people…but, you have to wonder if some people are just immoral from the start.
The notion for all to be virtuous is the easy answer. But, we are not all perfect.
Excellent blog for our inquiring minds.


Government officials and civil servants play a critical role in advancing openness in research and education around the world. We've been thrilled to see a growing number of early career individuals working in government join the OpenCon community this past year and express their interest in Open Access, Open Education, and Open Data. For this month's OpenCon Community Call, we'll be focusing on the next generation of government officials and policymakers—to discuss how they've brought open into the work they do and their experience in doing so.
The call will be facilitated by Guillermina Actis from the National Research Council of Argentina. Guest speakers will include Carly Robinson from the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Scientific and Technical Information, and Eunice Mercado, from Mexico's National Research Council.

SRS iWOW 3D: The iPhone gets a swift kick in the buds
By Zach Epstein
If you had asked me a few weeks ago, I would have insisted that no ear buds in the sub-$1,000 price range sound better than my trusty Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi headset. I would have been wrong. I still insist that no buds I've tried sound better than my 10vi buds — and I have tried many, many pairs — but now I add the caveat, "when coupled with the iWOW 3D."
I recently mentioned SRS in passing within my review of the HTC Arrive, and I'm certainly glad I did because the team at SRS saw my review and reached out to chat. They also decided to send me an iWOW 3D to play with, and to be frank, I was skeptical at best. Sound is a funny thing. Just about everyone fancies him or herself an expert when it comes to sound, it seems, and while I would deny it if you asked me on the street, I'm the same way. Deep down, I think of myself as a sophisticated audiophile with a discerning ear that can rival even the most experienced sound hounds. The truth is that I do have formal training as an audio engineer, but that hardly qualifies me as an expert. The sound quality of recorded music and the quality of headphones delivering said music, like so many other things in life, is largely a matter of opinion and personal preference. But it's also science.
There are many factors that might make one pair of headphones better than another. The materials used, the components used, the shape, the fit and countless other factors combine to reproduce sound in a very unique way. While this topic is of considerable interest to me, it is also far too complex to cover here. What matters is that in the end, those of us who might refer to ourselves as audiophiles have put a great deal of time and effort into finding headphones that suit our particular taste. Once said headphones have been identified, we will almost certainly swear up and down that they're "the best."
I landed on the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi headphones — at least where ear buds are concerned. For my taste, it doesn't get any better unless you're willing to part with an obscene amount of cash for custom buds (and I'm not). The unique shape fits perfectly in my ears and in my opinion, they reproduce music from a wide range of genres better than any other buds I've tried. With one or two exceptions, I find the difference between the 10vi buds and competitive offerings to be fairly substantial. As such, you can imagine my surprise when I discovered that a tiny $60 accessory could have such a dramatic impact on the sound delivered by my precious 10vi buds.
SRS describes the iWOW 3D as follows:
The iWOW 3D is a premium plug-and-play audio enhancement accessory for iPad, iPhone and iPod, designed to retrieve and restore audio cues that are buried within the original source audio, to provide an immersive three-dimensional sound stage with renewed depth and clarity, as well as improve bass response for any speaker configuration.
I describe the iWOW 3D as a swift kick in the buds.
Forgetting all the jargon, here's what you need to know: the iWOW 3D lumps its magic into three realms of signal processing. The first is "wide surround." This does exactly what it sounds like it should do — it effectively spreads out the sound and creates a wider audio image that is truly impressive. Think of it as the difference between a two-speaker sound bar and a real surround sound setup.
The second thing it does is fix bass frequencies and delivery. You might not have known the bass was broken on your current headphones, but it is. Apple offers some great EQ settings in iOS that help in some respects, but the results are often muddy and they never sound quite right with each different genre of music. The iWOW 3D's bass enhancer makes bass sound massive, but not to the point where your speakers will be crackling. It seems like the perfect bass tweak and if you crank the volume up to about 75%, your head very well may explode — but in a good way.
Finally, the iWOW 3D finesses the high and mid-range frequencies to compensate for all that new-found bass. The result, when all three effects are combined, is sound more impressive than I ever thought I would hear coming out of a cell phone. It's pretty remarkable. There's a free companion app that allows users do enable and disable each of the three effects individually, but I could easily live without it. All three effects are on by default and that's the way it should stay.
While there's plenty to love about the iWOW 3D, there are also a few problems of varying degrees that I have with the gadget. First, there is a big white indicator light on the front of the unit that lets you know when it is enabled. Indicator lights are great, but this one is huge and annoying. A tiny white LED on the side would have been sufficient.
Slightly more important is the hiss. Like many powered audio devices, the iWOW 3D emits a low-level hiss when connected and turned on. It's faint and you can't hear it at all when music is playing, but it's annoying at first during parts of a track that are silent or very quiet. It's also annoying at first while watching movies or TV shows. I say "at first" because after a while, it gets to a point where you adjust to the sound and forget about it unless you intentionally concentrate on it.
Last but certainly not least is an Apple-imposed limitation: while connected through the iWOW 3D, in-line remotes and microphones will not work. This means you can't pause or skip backward or forward with button clicks on your headset's remote, and you can't talk on the phone until you unplug the device. This is Apple's fault, as the 30-pin dock connector does not make these functions available, but it's a pretty big limitation nonetheless.
Those qualms aside, I've really enjoyed the iWOW 3D in the couple of weeks I have been using it. So far I've had three other people check out the device as well, and the results have been the same in each case. Eyes widen, jaws drop ever so slightly, and the listener is wowed.
But hearing is believing. The SRS iWOW 3D can be ordered from SRS's online shop for $59.99.

Q: Force Maven to resolve version ranges with releases at build time We use version ranges that include SNAPSHOTS during development. When releasing, I want to force Maven to only resolve these ranges with non-SNAPSHOT versions. Is there any way to do this?
Ideally I'd like the release pom itself to resolve to specific versions (like versions:resolve-ranges) and then restore the ranges in the next development version, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist.
My next best idea is to find a way to convince Maven to ignore SNAPSHOTS completely during dependency resolution (via a build flag or plugin config). My first attempt - disabling remote snapshot repos via a release profile - does not solve the issue, because it still finds any SNAPSHOTS in my local .m2/repository even if the remote snapshot repo is disabled.
I should note that I'm not terribly concerned with reproducible release builds via POM, because our release artifacts are assembly JARs that pull in all unwrapped dependencies - so making ranges resolve to current releases during the build itself is good enough for me.
I know: the canonical response is "versions ranges are bad". Suffice it to say that we have enough interdependent modules that get frequent enough updates and deployments that if we didn't use ranges, we would spend half our days updating dependency versions and releasing.
