Listening to sacred choral music – from Handel, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Faure to brilliant modern day composers like Karl Jenkins (as shared yesterday) – transports us to an inspiring place of worship, quiet reverence, beauty and magnificent expression.
Modern musician Paul Schwartz kicks magnificent expression up a notch in his modern interpretation of the Latin Glory Be prayer – Gloria Patri.
As a long-time groupie of this crossover classical composer, I so enjoyed his first State of Grace compilation that includes a lovely upbeat rendition of the Shaker Lord of the Dance hymn. After finding his sequel Turning to Peace CD that adapts and blends the traditional choral Magnificat with the Stabat Mater, I popped it in the car player on the way home some years ago – and almost ran off the road when the Gloria Patri came on.
So, on this Laetare Sunday when we're meant to rejoice in the midst of Lent, give this song a listen (via this YouTube video) and see if you don't get up lifted off your feet in glorious praise!
p.s. As long-time readers know, Virginia also loves Gospel music that lifts us up off our feet in worship (she sang in an African American Gospel Choir for years in Washington, D.C. – the only red head.) Gospel grooves draw us closer to God, too!

Nice share and wow!!you sang in a choir!


I saw an interesting movie on YouTube today, which shows a programmer struggling to enter Perl code using Vista voice recognition. It took him 10 minutes to enter a simple five line program in notepad. While obviously not designed for the rigid needs of a programmer, it seemed to recognize the things that he did say quite readily. This inspired me, as an avid Vista user, to give the Vista voice recognition a try for myself.
I must admit, I'm quite impressed. Especially in applications set up for dictation, such as notepad or Internet Explorer, the performance even with minimal training is exemplary. In fact, the voice recognition probably spells better than I do with a keyboard. When the occasional mistakes are made, the dictation interface is extremely powerful in terms of its correction commands. While it is more difficult to talk to an application that does not expect dictation, such as Windows Live Messenger, you can still operate largely with your voice ( albeit a bit slower ). It even knows to scan things like emails and other data on your computer to build a dictionary of words that you might want to say.
In fact, my biggest problem I'm finding is that I can type my thoughts far better than I can articulate them. For some reason, it's harder for me to come up with what to say when I actually have to say it out loud.
To prove my point, the above paragraphs were dictated entirely with Vista voice recognition in notepad, copied, and then pasted into a Blogger window [including website navigation] using nothing but my voice. I was going to start typing at this point, but both voice dictation is actually staring to be kind of fun for me. Not fast... At least not yet. But still cool.

Middle East|U.S. Cautious on Iran Missile Test Claim
U.S. Cautious on Iran Missile Test Claim
By David E. Sanger
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is facing another difficult choice with Iran: As Tehran takes apart much of its nuclear infrastructure to win sanctions relief, how vocally should the White House condemn Iranian violations of United Nations resolutions on other issues?
Based on the first responses Tuesday to reports that Iran had conducted yet another launch of a medium-range ballistic missile, the answer appears to be not very loudly.
Samantha Power, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, said that Washington was "conducting a serious review of the reported incident." She said that if the review determined that the test occurred, the United States would take the issue up with the Security Council.
American officials did announce some sanctions on Tuesday for ballistic missile tests — but they were against North Korea, for violating Security Council resolutions by launching short- and medium-range missiles in tests last year.
Before the Iran nuclear accord, the White House regularly condemned Tehran's tests. But now, officials say privately, they believe that the tests may be the work of angry elements in Iran's military who hope to derail the nuclear accord and preserve their atomic infrastructure.
"We're seeing a lot of infighting within Iran now," one senior American official said.
Outside analysts seemed to have little doubt about what the Iranians launched on Nov. 21: a Ghadr-110, a version of the country's Shahab-3 missile. That missile figured in the nuclear negotiations, because of evidence that Iran had conducted studies about how to shrink a nuclear device to fit into the Shahab's nose cone.
The November test, if confirmed, would be a clear violation of Security Council Resolution 1929, which remains in force until the nuclear accord goes into effect — probably in January. After that, a new Security Council resolution will take effect, in which Iran is "called upon" to stop work for eight years on any ballistic missiles that could deliver a nuclear weapon. But the test would not violate the nuclear accord itself.
Nonetheless, the administration's cautious response drew criticism from Republicans and even some Democrats who voted in favor of the nuclear accord.
"Ignoring violations of the agreement will send a troubling signal to not only Iran, but our allies in the region about our commitment to vigorously enforcing its restrictions," Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III, Democrat of Massachusetts, said after writing a letter to President Obama with Representative Ted Deutch, Democrat of Florida.
Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said in a speech on Sunday that there should be no tolerance for small violations of the nuclear agreement. Administration officials responded by noting that on the nuclear side of the agreement, Iran appears to be moving very fast to dismantle its infrastructure, in hopes of receiving over $100 billion in sanctions relief before a major national election in the spring.
Separately, the United States and its European allies began circulating a draft on Tuesday of a resolution at the International Atomic Energy Agency that would close the inquiry into "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear program, after the publication last week of a report by the agency. That report suggested such work had been intense through 2003 and continued sporadically until 2009.

Q: why am I receiving error starting microclimate on macos stating TLS handshake timeout I've successfully completed the ./install.sh command. When I run the next "~/mcdev start -o" I receive this error: "Starting Microclimate
Pulling microclimate-file-watcher (ibmcom/microclimate-file-watcher:1809)...
ERROR: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/ibmcom/microclimate-file-watcher/manifests/1809: net/http: TLS handshake timeout
Error starting Microclimate"
I have running on my pc:

*

*git version 2.17.1 (Apple Git-112); Docker version 18.06.1-ce;  MacOS
High Sierra v 10.13.6; latest Microclimate v18.09

My network is up and I don't have any proxy.
What am I missing or doing wrong?

A: I got this to work by changing to a different wifi \ internet connection. Still not sure why my home wifi, with no restrictions that I'm aware of, will 'block' the dependency downloads upon start of Microclimate.
If anybody has additional info to help find the root cause please feel free to share.

A: This docker error generally shows up when your internet connection is too slow for Docker, as it times out performing the TLS handshake. This would also explain why moving to another network fixes the issue.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife of 20 years, Tanaaz, and three children, Arnosh, Cherag, and Leah ages 16, 10, and 7 respectively. I enjoy playing squash, table tennis, golf and take an active interest in local community happenings.
Since graduating from Roorkee, I have maintained and cultivated relationships with several IIT Roorkee alumni over the years. While I have not held an office at a chapter level, I am in the know of happenings across several chapters/cities due to my network of friends.
At IIT Roorkee, I was very active in the sports and cultural scene. I was a member of the university squash and table tennis teams, was the Vice President of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Students Society (MIESS). I was on the organizing committee of Thomso 87, our cultural festival which attracted college teams from all over India.
Anoop Verma (candidate for IIT RAANA President) and I are seeking your support to lead IIT RAANA. Anoop and I share a common vision of our association and intend to focus on the following initiatives.
5. Improve visibility of Leadership opportunities such as PAN IIT Leadership Circle (PLC) that have inadequate representation of IIT Roorkee, for our alumni so that they can participate, if they choose so.
6. Formation of IIT RAANA Board of Directors (from across professions, tenure, seniority, geographies) while leveraging the strength of autonomous local chapters.
7. Welcome and provide for easy transition of alumni arriving in North America either for higher studies or professional ventures.


U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry walks off the plane at Kiev Boryspil International Airport in Kiev on Thursday Feb. 5, 2015.
The leaders of France and Germany were carrying a new peace initiative to the Ukrainian and Russian capitals Thursday, amid a flurry of high-level diplomacy to end what French President Francois Hollande called a war on Europe's edge.
Hollande said he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel would travel to Kiev on Thursday and then to Moscow the following day, with a proposal "based on the territorial integrity of Ukraine."
Members of the French government listen to French President Francois Hollande, right, during a press conference at the Elysee Palace in Paris, Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015.
"It will not be said that France and Germany together have not tried everything, undertaken everything to preserve the peace," Hollande said.
In a sign of the importance of the initiative and urgency of the situation, this will be Merkel's first trip to Moscow since Ukraine's conflict broke out a year ago.
"Given the escalation of violence in the past days, the chancellor and President Hollande are intensifying their months-long efforts for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in eastern Ukraine," Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said in a statement.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is also in Ukraine, to show support for the government amid a fast-moving flurry of international diplomacy. Kerry is in Ukraine as the Obama administration weighs sending arms to Kiev to help it fight Russian-backed separatists.
Officials with Kerry said he would discuss those needs with Ukrainian officials as well as new initiatives to resurrect a moribund ceasefire and resume a political dialogue to end the conflict.


5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
7. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
13. And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof [is] toward the north.
