Easier Being Green
Megan Feldman January 22, 2009 4:00AM
I"Going green" used to be considered a luxury, especially in a faltering economy. But as the Legislature convened last week amid a budget squeeze, a determined coalition of lawmakers and lobbyists acted on the premise that conserving energy is nothing less than an absolute necessity, especially in rough financial times.
Representatives and senators filed measures geared toward cleaning up Texas' notoriously dirty air, bolstering the state's renewable energy infrastructure while creating new jobs and saving money through increased efficiency.
"Texas has discovered that energy efficiency is the cheapest way to meet its energy needs in the future," says Tom "Smitty" Smith, director of the lobbying group Public Citizen of Texas. "We can reduce electricity consumption and avoid the need to build more coal plants or nuclear plants."
President Barack Obama has encouraged Americans to view the economic, environmental and energy crises as related problems and to develop solutions that address all of them, and that approach may have a new champion here in Texas. Representative Joe Straus, a San Antonio Republican who has made conservation a focus since his election in 2005 and has a reputation for building coalitions across party lines, is replacing Tom Craddick as speaker of the House.
"Straus carried the most important energy efficiency bill in 10 years in the Texas Legislature," Smith says. "He passed it unanimously through the House and Senate. It's a measure of his skill that it was the first time in 25 years that I've worked on a bill in the Texas Legislature that's passed unanimously."
Smith and other efficiency-advocates hope Straus will help to usher in a new era for the state's energy infrastructure. Margaret Keliher, executive director of Texas Business for Clean Air, has led a far-reaching, collaborative effort to address the energy shortage while at the same time reducing the output of lung-scarring ozone. She hopes the resulting proposals, which include efficiency standards for appliances and buildings and expanded reliance on solar and geothermal technology, gain traction this session.
"By combining these efficiency measures with renewables you could go 15 years without having to build another plant," she says. "But it will require this Legislature to take some actions."
A bill sponsored in the House by Representative Rafael Anchia and in the Senate by Florence Shapiro would increase the amount of electricity generated by solar panels and wind turbines installed by consumers on residential and commercial buildings (as opposed to existing wind farms used by utilities). The proposal mandates that by 2020, an additional 2,000 megawatts of generating capacity come from distributed renewables such as solar panels, geothermal technology or wind. That would be a 50 percent increase from the just over 4,000 megawatts being drawn from renewables as of 2007, according to Damien Brockmann, Anchia's legislative director.
"This is a big session for solar," Brockmann says. Anchia's bill "is one of a handful of initiatives we want to push to make Texas a leader in solar." The Public Utility Commission would determine the cost of funding the incentives for renewable installation, but Anchia's office has provided several plans. "We're looking at something that would cost consumers $1 per month [on their utility bill] and would raise $160 million per year," Brockmann says.
Another Anchia bill, HB 280—proposed but not passed two years ago—would increase the amount of new energy demand that must be met by efficiency measures such as additional insulation or updated boilers. That percentage is now 20 percent, and the bill would raise it to 50 percent by 2015.
"When we say cut back, we're not asking people to live in colder houses," Brockmann says. "It's about delivering the same comfort for less energy."
Keliher and TBCA have also helped develop proposals, one of them sponsored by Senator Kip Averitt, a Waco Republican, that would pass statewide efficiency standards for appliances, including audio systems, DVD players, commercial cooking devices and pool pumps. Another measure, also carried by Averitt in an omnibus air bill expected to be filed next week, would expand efficiency standards for buildings that have already been passed by the cities of Dallas, Houston and Austin. That bill would require that by 2020, codes result in net-zero energy buildings, or structures that use no more energy than they produce from on-site renewable systems like wind or solar.
"The city of Dallas has taken a leadership role under Mayor Leppert—he passed a building code that's roughly 15 percent above the current standard," says Smith, of Public Citizen. "We're hoping that same lesson is applied around the rest of the state."
Eventually, advocates like Keliher and Smith hope the state will have the capacity to store the energy generated by wind and solar sources, which would vastly expand their potential. Keliher also mentioned efforts to require the installation of electric meters that people could monitor and control remotely, which several companies are on the verge of rolling out.
"You could look at your meter every 15 minutes and see how much energy you're using," Keliher says. "So if the kids leave the lights on when they go to school you could see how much that's costing you. You could see how much it's costing you to run your dishwasher during peak times versus off-peak times. I think when you give the consumer control over the utility then you'll begin to see an impact."
As the efficiency measures move through the Legislature, a "clean coal" bill filed by GOP Representative Phil King, Weatherford, is designed to provide tax incentives for integrated gasification combined cycle power plants, or IGCC, that capture at least 60 percent of their carbon dioxide emissions. Keliher says that the efficiency measures should come first, though, because they could stave off the need for additional plants.
"Straus has an interest in making energy efficiency a priority for the session," Brockmann, of Anchia's office, says. "But it's yet to be seen how the Senate responds to the actions taken in the House and how the governor reacts."

We may be in our third consecutive period of negative growth but the majority of UK businesses are not planning to make redundancies for the remainder of 2012 according to a survey of 900 UK businesses by Right Management, the talent and career management expert within ManpowerGroup.
Eighty-one per cent of the surveyed companies indicated that there would be 'no redundancies at all' in the next six months and just four per cent stated there would be significant employee cut backs.
Forty-one per cent of the surveyed companies said that they 'do not do workforce planning and have no workforce strategy' and a quarter (23 per cent) stated that Human Resource plays little or no role in business strategy.
This global study on redundancy trends, the first from Right Management, was carried out during the second quarter of 2012 in more than 40 countries and territories. It was conducted as part of the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, which is the most extensive, forward-looking employment survey in the world. The redundancy trend data will be updated every six months and will serve as a barometer of workforce trends and activities.

Published: Did Women Writers Change the 20th Century New York Intellectual Scene? (PopMatters)
Here's my review of Michelle Dean's Sharp which is about the ten women writers who changed the NYC intellectual scene (and, therefore, that of the US) in the 20th-century. Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm — all earned their intellectual reputations by doing everything the male writers did, but often with more sass, style, and yes, smarts. Readers and writers all over the world still quote from these women's works, many of which continue to stand the test of time.
Yes, no women writers of color there. Though, of course, Zora Neale Hurston, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, bell hooks, et al were also writing in the US then. But, sad as it is to admit, they were in the margins then. (I do reference another similar book here that was more inclusive.)
Anyway, as always, I'm looking for what we can learn from reading the lives and works of women writers and how they can (and should) shape cultural and socio-political thought.

Q: Issues transfering data between PHP pages with POST I am having an issue transferring values between pages in PHP using POST. I am using a hidden field at the bottom of a page to state how many items (rows of students) I have on the page. I also have a filter option which reduces the number of items visible on the page. When I submit data from the filtered page, all values (including the hidden ones) get through no worries. When I submit data with the page unfiltered, the hidden values do not get through (and therefore my data collection does not happen).
The clincher is, this does not happen in my Apache based test environment, it only happens when I move this to an IIS based production environment.
Here is a screen shot of the initial page (actual data has been removed for privacy reasons), which shows the inputs. There are 12 rows of 30 inputs each (360 total):

Here is the HTML code with the hidden fields which I need:
<input type="hidden" value="12" name="numStudents">
<input type="hidden" value="10" name="numTasks">
<input type="hidden" value="3" name="numCriteria">
<input class="btn btn-primary btn-large" type="submit" value="Save" name="submit">

Here is the PHP code which receives the values:
//Get the general information from the form
$numStudents = $common->clean($_POST["numStudents"], $CON);
$numTasks = $common->clean($_POST["numTasks"], $CON);
$numCriteria = $common->clean($_POST["numCriteria"], $CON);

//Loop to get grades for all students
$output = "";
$flagChange = FALSE;
$count = 0;
for($i = 0; $i < $numStudents; $i++)

When I echo out the value of either $numStudents or $_POST["numStudents"] directly, nothing appears.
The really confusing thing is - when I have a list of 1 or 2 students, the unfiltered data comes through without an issue (the echo displays the correct value). As mentioned before, if I filter the data so that only 6 columns of inputs are shown for each student, the data comes through without an issue.
Does IIS have a maximum number of values allowed in the POST variable? If so, can this be changed? I have checked my PHP.ini file and the max size of post is set to 8M (which this data should not even approach).
Is there another setting somewhere I need to change?

A: The maximum size of POST data that can be sent is a per server setting. For PHP/APACHE it can be set from the .htaccess as:
#set max post size
php_value post_max_size 20M

Under IIS you want to change the maxAllowedContentLength
See: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/requestfiltering/requestlimits

Historical flag has Portsmouth roots

COLUMBUS — On Friday, a ceremony took place at the Ohio Historical Society and Museum in Columbus were a 152-year old flag was donated to the museum. The flag was first presented to a Portsmouth resident.
The flag was first presented to David Nevin Murray (D.N.), who's described as a merchant, manufacturer and banker in Portsmouth from 1837-1895.
"In connection with two others he (Murray) built the machine shops and foundry which later became the Portsmouth Foundry and Machine Shops. Since he was too old to fight in the Civil War, D. N. converted his foundry and machine shops to make cannon balls for the Union Army," said Mary K. Van Tilburg great-great-granddaughter of Murray. "At the end of the Civil War, Ohio delegates to Congress invited him to Washington Dc where they awarded him the 1864 36 star American Union Flag. The flag was 22 feet long and 9 feet wide and contained 36 stars for the number of states in the Union in 1864 when the flag was made."
She said the flag has been a part of Ohio history over the last 152 years.
"Since the close of the Civil War, this enormous 'Old Glory' has been closely entwined with Ohio memorial ceremonies and parades from 1865 to about 1947," Tillburg said.
"Various newspapers, including the Portsmouth Blade and later the (Portsmouth) Times, mention that this historic flag has graced memorial services of President Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding and Roosevelt. The flag was carried during Portsmouth's Memorial Day parades and when their soldiers came home from Cuba and the World Wars," Tilburg said.
She said for the last several years the flag has been with other relatives in Oklahoma.
Tilburg said she asked the flag be returned to Ohio, so it could be donated to the Ohio Historical Society and Museum.
During the ceremony at the Ohio Historical Society and Museum the flag was unfolded for the first time in 45 years.
The museum is anticipated to display the flag in its New Acquisitions Display. Once the display is finished, it's anticipated the flag will be placed in storage and brought out for special occasions, displays and will be available for school children's visits and various other events or visits.

EDINBURG — The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley received nearly half-a-million-dollars to research and develop a new anti-HIV drug using nanotechnology that could place the academic institution at the forefront of a possible medical breakthrough.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded UTRGV nearly $500,000 in federal funding earlier this month, U.S Rep. Vicente Gonzalez announced Wednesday.
The grant will finance the research and development of a nano-formulated anti-HIV drug.
HIV remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, principally in developing countries, Gonzalez said. And although the present drug therapy has significantly reduced the mortality rate among patients, major limitations remain given the complexity of dosing regimens, drug metabolism, and numerous side effects.
"We are very proud of Dr. Roy's accomplishments and knowing that his research has been judged to be competitive and to address a significant scientific problem on the national level," said Dr. Michael Lehker, UTRGV Dean of the College of Health Affairs.
His college is focused on building a research infrastructure that will support its mission to promote health equity and to provide meaningful learning opportunities for students, Lehker said.
"Dr. Roy's grant is yet another step toward achieving this goal," the dean added.
The program began July 1 and is set to run until June 30, 2021.

Competitors all over the globe hire employees of their rivals to get their hands on the trade secrets and other potentially useful information. This is not only unethical but also fatal for a business and that's why employers need to monitor their employees all the time. With the monitoring apps and services, employers can monitor all the activities of the target mobile devices, similarly to how parental control apps work.
How to tell them about monitoring without creating a drama?
It might seem difficult but actually it is quite easy to come to a mutual agreement about monitoring all the activities of your employees as an employer. All you have to do is tell your employees about the monitoring app installed on the company issued phones and tablets so you can keep an eye on what's going on with your business. Spying and monitoring activities of another individual without his/her consent is a crime in most of the countries so make sure you are obeying all the local laws regarding this.
How to use monitoring apps and services?
Monitoring apps and services like mSpy are not only easy to use but also come with lots of features so you can make sure your business is safe and sound. You must have physical access to the target device for few minutes so you can install the mSpy on it and configure it for the first time. After the installation and initialization process, you don't need physical access to the device anymore.

There is nothing wrong with having the occasional tipple, but drinking too much can cause problems.
Alcohol is high in calories and so can make you put on weight. It's also a diuretic, which means it makes the body lose more water than usual. So when you drink alcohol, you need to have more non-alcoholic drinks that aren't diuretics, otherwise it's easy to get dehydrated.
Heavy drinking can lead to a wide range of health problems, including cancer, liver disease, stroke, high blood pressure and can affect mental health.
For good health, it's a good idea to spread your drinking throughout the week and avoid binge drinking.
If you have drunk too much, you should avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours to give your body a chance to recover.
There is evidence to suggest that having between one and two units of alcohol a day can help protect against coronary heart disease. But this is only thought to work for men when they're over 40 and for women after the menopause.
When you're pregnant, or trying to get pregnant, it's best to stop drinking alcohol altogether. But if you do drink, have no more than one or two units of alcohol, once or twice a week and don't get drunk.
This is because alcohol can reduce the ability to conceive, damage the unborn baby and may lead to early miscarriage.
If you are breastfeeding it's best to avoid drinking alcohol just before a feed. This is because the alcohol can pass to the baby in small amounts through breast milk.
If any of the following are true for you, then you need to take care because alcohol increases your risk of serious illness. If you are unsure, then check with your GP.

Imagine having all the capability of a multi-thousand dollar DSLR camera in your pocket — maybe even as part of your smartphone. That's the promise of startup Light's innovative array camera architecture. Through the near-magic of computational imaging and a clever combination of optical, sensor, and mechanical design, Light believes it can put an 52MP-equivalent camera in a device about as thick as a cased smartphone by next year — with low noise, high quality image output, and even zoom capability. When we first covered their announcement two weeks ago, it was hard to sift through the possibilities. Since then, I've spent a morning with the founding team, and especially with CTO Rajiv Laoia, and am able to provide a lot deeper dive into what Light is planning, and why it thinks it can succeed where others haven't.
Light is planning to use an array of small cameras — very similar to those you would find in a smartphone today — to mimic a larger camera. By precisely aligning and calibrating the individual cameras, the images from them can be combined to produce a single image of very high quality. By having some of the cameras feature a wide-angle lens, and some a telephoto lens, an optical zoom capability is also possible. By placing the telephoto lenses on their side, the module can stay nearly as thin as a typical smartphone camera module. Finally, by having actuator-driven mirrors on the telephoto lenses they can be directed to different portions of the wide-angle frame to enhance the zoom capability at intermediate focal lengths. All of this relies on a lot of serious after-the-fact computation, but since the design of the module includes traditional camera sensors, a typical-quality image is available instantly. Now that we have that out of the way, let's take a deeper look at the technology.
If you ask nearly anyone involved with photography, they'll explain that the big advantage of large-sensor cameras is big pixels, that in turn provide lower noise-images. That's true because each pixel (or more correctly, photosite) is essentially a well that captures photons during a camera exposure. Due to the nature of light, not every photon goes exactly where you think it should, so a certain number wind up in the wrong well. The larger the wells, the better the ratio between photons that are where they belong (signal) and those that have strayed (noise). Smartphone cameras have almost impossibly small pixel sizes barely over 1 micron on a side. By comparison, a flagship full-frame DSLR might have pixels as large as 6 or 8 microns on a side — giving it as much as 50 times the light-gathering capacity per pixel.
Light's CTO, Rajiv Laroia, explains that by treating the ten or more small sensors as pieces of a single, large sensor, Light's camera module can add together all the photons that reach a particular location in each of the sensors to mimic larger photosites. By adding the signals, the ratio of signal to noise is greatly increased. As with many of Light's solutions to difficult issues, this strategy makes perfect sense, but until Light shows that it can get sufficiently accurate alignment in a production module, and that other factors in its design don't increase noise, we'll have to wait and see.
Light is not the first company to attempt to replace smartphone cameras with an array of small sensors. Most notably, Pelican Imaging has been working for several years on array-based camera modules. Market acceptance has been delayed because of the processing power required to create the final image from its multiple monochrome sensors. That same issue also hampered market acceptance of alternative camera architecture innovators Foveon and Lytro. What makes Light's architecture different, and gives them a potentially massive advantage, is that most or all of the small cameras it uses each take a perfectly usable conventional image. That means that the LCD preview can easily be shown in real time with no additional processing, and that Web-quality images and video are instantly accessible. Creation of high-quality images can be postponed until time and wall power are available, or even delegated to the cloud.
Like Pelican, Light is enthusiastic about the creative possibilities for combing different types of sensors to address particular imaging problems. Combining some "white" sensors for low-light sensitivity with color sensors is one possibility, as is having different camera use different exposures for improved high-dynamic-range imaging. Each of these approaches reduces the number of conventional images available, though, so I expect Light's initial module designs to be fairly conservative, saving the experimentation for later.
Light has also come up with a very clever way to mimic zoom capability using an array of fixed-focal-length (prime) lenses. Its arrays feature both wide-angle and telephoto lenses (it's planning to have 35mm and 70mm lenses in its first smartphone-sized module) in an overlapping configuration. The telephoto lenses are mounted sideways in the module, to keep thickness to a minimum and allow for a small mirror that can be used to aim the telephoto lenses at different portions of the wide-angle view.
Light uses overlapping fields of view to emulate a single-lens optical zoom. Mirrors move the multiple 70mm lenses to create an overlapping field of view to provide effective focal lengths between 35mm and 70mm. The 35mm lenses provide a wide field of view image to assist in aligning the telephoto images.
So, for example, to take a 70mm image, all four telephoto lenses would be aimed at the center of the wide-angle image, providing four aligned images at 70mm. For an intermediate focal length, like 50mm, the mirrors would move the telephoto lenses about half way "out" towards the edge of the wide-angle field of view — like I've drawn somewhat crudely in the diagram above. That configuration yields a hybrid image, with all areas featuring some combination of images from the telephoto and the wide-angle lenses. The wide-angle images help provide a background for aligning the telephoto images. Not surprisingly, Light isn't the only company aiming to bring zoom to smartphones. Another startup, Dynaoptics, plans to add the capability by laying a tiny zoom lens on its side, and changing the mechanism needed for zooming so that it is small enough to live within the thickness of a smartphone.
Here too, it is obvious Light has done its homework and come up with a clever solution. However, in practice Light will have to overcome technical issues that could make perfect alignment difficult. For example, smartphone imagers almost all use rolling shutters (where the entire image is not exposed at the same time). Merging multiple images taken with rolling shutters provides additional challenges. Also, each smartphone lens has slightly different physical properties, meaning that each one may have slightly different color shading defects. That can be adjusted for, but typically images aren't laid end to end with each other and merged the way Light is planning, so Light's application will push the alignment and calibration technology to its limits.
ARGUS-IS, surveying Quantico, Virginia. Click to see a much larger version.
The idea of combining a number of smartphone cameras to make a super camera isn't new. DARPA constructed a surveillance camera from 368 5MP smartphone cameras that can cover a 4-mile area while at the same time being able to pick out objects as small as a bird in flight. Its ARGUS-IS, with a total resolution of 1.8 gigapixels, is designed to be carried under a helicopter. Once Light's modules are in the market, it'll be interesting to see what a similar large-scale project constructed out of its modules could do. Laoia explained to me that one reason solutions like this make sense is that the small, plastic lenses used in mobile devices can be molded into nearly arbitrary shapes, so it is possible to create a low-distortion lens with many less elements than can be done with the large glass components of a DSLR lens. That certainly goes counter to the conventional wisdom that smartphone lenses are inferior to their larger cousins, but my colleague and camera-array guru Harlyn Baker confirmed that they don't have to be.
So what if I drop my phone?
As makers of 3D cameras have learned, precise alignment of the multiple imagers required is essential to creating a usable image. Light simplifies that issue a little by only using prime lenses, so it doesn't have to keep zooms in sync, but it does have quite a few modules to keep under control. From the factory, Light modules will come calibrated, using a fairly standard checkerboard-pattern alignment process. The modules are designed to detect when they need re-calibration, so that the user can be guided through the process. It isn't any more complex than adjusting the micro-focus adjustment is on a high-end DSLR now, so for serious shooters it will be a small price to pay. To minimize the need for re-calibration, Light mounts its cameras on a stiff metal plate.
Is it a superphone or a super camera?

Rock Memoir Book Club: Rex Brown's Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story of Pantera
Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images
Rock Memoir Book Club
by Steven Hyden
Welcome to Rock Memoir Book Club! This is where I read rock memoirs — because, post–Keith Richards's Life, there are suddenly a lot of rock memoirs — and encourage readers to follow along. It's perfect for people who like to read but are ambivalent about books written by actual writers. So, gather your rock memoir–loving pals and let's talk it out!
Discussion question no. 1: How does Rex Brown have "inside" knowledge of Pantera? Did he know somebody in the band?
If you have the smallest bit of casual knowledge about Pantera, it probably involves the band's wunderkind guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, whose murder by a deranged gunman onstage during a 2004 concert by his post-Pantera band, Damageplan, in Columbus, Ohio, surely ranks among the most horrific rock deaths. If you own a Pantera album or two, you're likely aware that Abbott's brother, Vinnie Paul, was the band's drummer, and a frankly terrifying slab of beef named Phil Anselmo was the lead singer. If you read Official Truth, 101 Proof, you'll learn Pantera apparently also included a significantly less interesting bass player named Rex Brown.
I just finished the book, and here's what I remember about Rex Brown: Rex Brown likes to play golf. Rex Brown hates French journalists. (He threw one down a stairway once.) Rex Brown had his gallbladder removed and polyps taken off of his alcohol-battered pancreas, and this is something he'll refer to periodically. Rex Brown really does not like Vinnie Paul. And that is all I remember about Rex Brown.
Follow-up question: Even after reading Official Truth, 101 Proof, this Rex person is a little foggy in our heads. What's his connection to the band again?
Discussion question no. 2: What's the most annoying thing about Vinnie Paul?
A rock star is typically motivated to write a memoir for one of two reasons: (1) His life and career are in a great place, and he wants to reflect warmly on his experiences; (2) His life and career are not in a great place, and he has an ax to grind. Brown and Official Truth, 101 Proof fall into the latter category. The target of Brown's ire is Vinnie Paul, who's been estranged from Brown and Anselmo in the wake of his brother's death. (Anselmo made disparaging comments about Dimebag before his murder, which might have motivated the person who killed him to lash out; Brown was aligned with Anselmo in the band Down until Brown quit in 2011.)
Official Truth, 101 Proof ends on a conciliatory note: "I do feel empathy for him on a human level," Brown says of Paul, adding a vague wish for some kind of "kiss and make up" scenario. In order for that to happen, however, Vinnie Paul can never read this book. From the very first line, "Dime, I can't handle your fucking brother," Official Truth, 101 Proof catalogs the myriad ways that Vinnie Paul is (in Brown's words) "just a strange person" and "one hairy dude" who "maybe only got laid one out of ten times and that's if he was lucky." Paul's sins include demanding a grandiose introduction upon entering a "titty bar" ("Hey, everyone, it's Vinnie Paaauuuul from Pantera!"); failing to ingest the proper amount of Ecstasy in one sitting ("Vinnie took the whole pills and the results weren't pretty"); and a subpar sense of humor ("When he made [a joke] it was usually the dumbest fucking joke you've ever heard in your life").
Follow-up question: Is there such a thing as a "dignified" strip-club entrance?
Discussion question no. 3: Is it really possible that Eddie Van Halen could've behaved so poorly at Dimebag Darrell's funeral? (I have never read Sammy Hagar's Red.)
You haven't read the Hagar book? You need to end this book club meeting and purchase a copy of Red stat. You won't find a better instance of reportage/character assassination concerning EVH's vampiric "wilderness" years in the '00s. Official Truth, 101 Proof is a mere hors d'oeuvre, containing a short vignette from Abbott's funeral where Eddie exhibits an "Eruption" of inappropriate, drugged-out behavior:
There were a huge number of Dime's musician friends there, and Eddie Van Halen and Zakk Wylde were asked to give speeches. I was sitting in the second row behind Eddie, who was just totally out of line, really disrespectful actually. I told Eddie on numerous occasions to shut the fuck up but there was no point. Zakk was always one of Dime's best friends, as well as being, like Dime, a great guitar player, but on this occasion he was in the bizarre situation of having to keep Eddie Van Halen — who was coked out of his head and acting like a complete idiot — in line.
"Fuckin' shut up," Zakk told Eddie after he had rambled on for a while while he was giving his eulogy — something about his ex-wife if I remember it right — but that didn't stop him, he just kept going. It was really disrespectful.
Follow-up question: How much worse would it have been had David Lee Roth been invited instead?
Discussion question no. 4: Who was the lamer Pantera tourmate: Metallica or Megadeth?
Brown credits Metallica's mid-'80s output with steering Pantera away from its glam-rock roots and toward the more aggressive and monstrous pummeling of its reputation-making records, 1990's Cowboys From Hell and 1992's Vulgar Display of Power. But when Pantera opened up for Metallica in 1996, the tables had turned — now Metallica was (relatively) glammed up, and Pantera were the edgy badasses:
As far as our buddies in Metallica were concerned, well we hardly ever saw them at this point. On the rare occasions when we did, Lars would turn up backstage with fucking dudes like John McEnroe. It was crazy shit.
As for Megadeth, who invited Pantera to open on the Countdown to Extinction tour, it was even worse than having to deal with fucking dudes like John McEnroe:
The only emotion I can attach to the experience is that they were bland to hang out with … We were in the heyday of getting fucking wasted every night, whereas they were on their whole sobriety kick, so the two don't exactly fit together. Dave Mustaine would sneak in bottles of Scope mouthwash or shit like that to drink, which seemed dumb to me at the time. I felt like saying, "Just go down to the liquor store, dude, and get yourself a fucking bottle of something. Fuck it, don't be drinking Scope!"
Follow-up question: Would Metallica have kicked Dave Mustaine out of the band in the early '80s had he only been abusing Scope?
Discussion question no. 5: Would you rather see Ozzy Osbourne's testicles or spy David Allan Coe's penis?
Perhaps because Brown was married during much of his tenure in Pantera and Down, there's little in the way of sexual escapades in Official Truth, 101 Proof. However, the book has plenty of full-frontal nudity, courtesy of two of the most pungent and lightly regulated mid-sections in rock and country. The first instance occurs at Ozzfest, when Ozzy pulls up in a golf cart wearing an ill-fitting robe and offers our hero a drink:
Yeah, well, as much as I admired him and as happy as I was to have a drink with him, I draw the line at staring at his or anyone else's balls, so eventually I said to him, "Dude, can you please put your fuckin' balls away. I don't want to stare at your gum all night." He ignored me. "Godfather of Metal, would you mind covering up the huevos?" I asked again. "Aww fuck you mate." Ozzy didn't give a shit.
Later in the book, Dime invites Brown to hang out with him and Coe:
I went over to where they were and he's got his shirt off and stinks like nothing I've ever smelled before. I felt like saying, "Dude, take a shower. Deodorant, anything." He's also covered head to toe in ink, so I stupidly said, "I like that ink man, looks really cool" and no sooner had I said that, he dropped his trousers to reveal the word Danger tattooed on his cock, vertically I think, although I didn't look for long … I'm all for ink, got a lot of it myself, but who the fuck tattoos their dick?
Follow-up question: Shouldn't a "Danger" tattoo on David Allan Coe's penis be considered a public service, akin to a fire exit in a movie theater or a Surgeon General's warning label on a pack of cigarettes?

Q: Get IQueryable result view value in arraylist My code:
IQueryable grpdRows;
grpdRows = dtInput
    .Select("", "partno")
    .AsQueryable()
    .GroupBy("new (iif(it[\"partno\"] == null, \"\", it[\"partno\"]) as GrpKey1)","it")
    .Select("new (it.Key.GrpKey1 as GrpKey1, it.Count() as TotalCount")");

I need to get "grpdRows" resuls view in an arrayList.

A: I think this snippet may help you:
IList<string> list = new List<string>
{
    "Value1",
    "Value2",
    "Value3",
    "Value4"
};

IQueryable query = list.AsQueryable();
ArrayList arrayList = new ArrayList(query.Cast<string>().ToList());

You provided insufficient code so I did my example with string instead.

Five people accused of harboring and aiding two murder suspects from Anchorage Police for weeks are now facing felony charges themselves.
A manhunt was underway across the Anchorage Bowl for Mickee Thompson and Robert Smith for three weeks after the April killing of 21-year-old Sosaia Finau.
Thompson and Smith are accused of gunning down Finau, who charging documents say was dating Thompson's ex-girlfriend, on the morning of April 12. The shooting happened at the girlfriend's Mountain View apartment.
Thompson and Smith were taken into custody without incident last week after a citizen tipped off police to their presence in a mobile home community in Spenard.
Throughout their investigation, APD detectives developed enough probable cause to charge five people with first-degree felony hindering prosecution.
Police say "all five are accused of directly providing aid to Thompson and Smith who were attempting to avoid being arrested for the homicide they committed."
Thompson's mother, 42-year-old Mandy Premo, and the other four suspects -- Randi Premo, 32, Tabita Mattie, 37, Jude Andrews, 37, and Anna Andrews, 33 -- all turned themselves into authorities Wednesday afternoon and are in the custody of the Anchorage Jail.
"They knew we were looking for them and these five individuals, their family members, knew that we were looking for them," said APD spokesman MJ Thim. "In fact, we had contact with Mandy and Randy specifically asking them if they had any information about the whereabouts and they didn't provide us with anybody and we've now found out that they, in fact, knew exactly where these suspects were and did not tell us, they hid these suspects from us."
Thim said hiding someone who police consider armed and dangerous has serious consequences because it's ultimately putting the public in danger.
"If you interfere with any of our investigations we will hold you accountable and this is an example of that, a great example of that," Thim said. "These are five individuals, five family members, who hid two armed and dangerous suspects that were on the run, added to the public safety threat, and we're holding them accountable."
Four of the five individuals charged in the alleged effort to hide Thompson and Smith qualified for mandatory release at their arraignments Thursday, and all are being released without being required to pay a monetary bail. If they don't show up to future court dates, they could be responsible to pay between $500 and $5,000 in unsecured bonds.

A day and a half behind, I write this sitting on the floor of a home built in the 1800's for a doctor in Kansas City, MO. It was one of the couchsurfing situations I set up. I'm really happy I had one lined up since we arrived really late to the city. In Denver, we didn't know where we were going to sleep but knew we had to get creative.
On October 3, we went from Durango to Denver, with a few hiccups in the morning. Our rental said the tire pressure was off, and Dan needed to get more sustenance than the one oatmeal packet he ate. That led us to trying to find a market that carried natural peanut butter and bread with no sugar. The slow giddy up in our drive, had us racing to Denver to make the Molly Brown house museum's last tour at 3:30pm. The GPS said our arrival was 3:45pm and I was rehearsing my pitch to get us in mid-tour. I love Molly Brown, she was an intelligent strong Irish women. A feminist spit fire and a women before her time. I'd like to think I have a little Molly Brown in me.
Once we got into Denver, we took a wrong turn and it caused my anxiety to really shoot up. I really wanted to see the Molly Brown House! We got to the house by 3:40, parked the car, and ran to the ticket booth/souvenir shop, and I mean ran. The girl in the tickets heard my desperate plea, and said depending on where they were in the tour she could bring us in but if they were on the second floor we might be out of luck.
The ticket booth girl, fiddled with a lock on the door. It was stuck and the suspension was killing me, are we going to get to see Molly Browns house. Praying to the lord the door would open, it finally budged and we were taken into the dining room where the tour group was getting the last of the info before moving upstairs.
The museum house was everything I could imagine, Victorian, ornate, well designed, I swooned. The tour guide inside, Cat, was really kind to us and said since we came late she'd go through the first few rooms with us and then finish the history outside. We soaked it up, and after enjoying hearing all the additional Molly Brown tid-bits the other tour participants didn't get to hear, I pushed my luck with Cat.
Having already given so much of her time to us, I felt selfish for asking if she might have a place or know anyone open to hosting two travelers for a night. She informed us she had cats, and since I'm allergic, I informed her I had pills and a nasel spray to handle that. We exchanged numbers and in a few hours after cleaning she called us, and we had an amazing night in Denver.
Cat and I clicked, I knew there was a lot of potential seeing as she was a cool girl. There was a patch on the back of her jacket, that really gave me that extra push to throw out the "can we couchsurf pitch". But her Patsy Cline ringer and my traveling Fraggle really solidified we are two people that get each other. She's also partied with my favorite band Lucero, being a true Memphis woman and really is just an interesting and fun person. She warned us, once she gets drunk she is a food pusher. A crock pot filled with the best pea soup I've ever had was warming on the counter, and we came back from a night of drinking at Denver bars, to a home cooked meal.
We are forever in Cat's debt and we hope we've made a forever friend.
That same night we also met up with a Facebook Friend, who I had never met before, had one postcard correspondence with and the story about how we are connected is too long for one post. But meeting him, his awesome friend Xavier (who I'm hoping texts me with potential people we can stay with in Nashville and Charleston) and gal pals who's names I can't remember; was also what made our night in Denver feel like a night in a second home.
I've always been a mountain girl more than a beach bunny, so the scenery is to die for!
The alcohol is dirt cheap! Dan and I had two whiskey cocktails and in LA that would have been $75 in Denver, it's $29. A good beer is $4. When we shared that a PBR is $6 minimum in LA, jaws had to be swept up from the floor.

On playing the Patriots...
"It's always a big game. They're the best for a reason and everyone wants to go after them. They are fun, they are physical, a big challenge for us. It hasn't been a big challenge for them, but for us it has been."
- Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger
"This is playoff football for us right now. We have to win this game no matter what."
- Steelers Tight End Jesse James
"The Patriots are one of the best teams for a reason. We are not the only team that has issues with them. They're that good. The past is the past, we can only focus on this week."
"Sunday is coming. We're excited about an opportunity to compete and get this negative taste out of our mouth, as I am sure New England is."
"It's going to be high stakes. It's going to be a big-time atmosphere. Excited about it. And look forward to more importantly this week's preparation for the opponent. A lot of work to be done."
"They are a good defense that gets after you. They make quarterback's days frustrating because they are bringing pressure. They are throwing some really unique looks. We know they are an all-around good football team."
"They do what it is they need to do. You can't stop all things all the time. They're a formidable bunch. They've got veteran players. They've got really good schematics. They're a tough nut to crack."
"You know, he's Tom Brady, man. He's capable of controlling and dominating the game, obviously, and he needs no endorsement from me. The minutia of specifically what's on tape is probably less significant than his capabilities and impact on play."
On Rob Gronkowski...
"Gronk has missed some time this year but he's finding his rhythm. He has been playing the last several weeks. You know the matchup issue he is for everybody globally and he is, and has been, for us in the past. We'll be thoughtful about putting together a plan to minimize him and his impact on the game. When you play a guy like him it's going to take multiple people and multiple techniques. As far as stopping him, it's not as easy as A-B-C. We haven't been a part of it. We're looking to be."
"He's a dangerous man. He's Gronk. He's a vertical matchup. He's a big-time play-maker. He's good with the ball in his hands after the catch. He's a big-time competitor. It is a serious job to work to minimize his impact on the game."

Edit: I'm pretty sure that my nvidia drivers are the culprit, so if anyone has a quick guide at hand how I can locate and update the drivers, I'm eager to hear it. I'm using the GeForce GT 420.

A: Following this tutorial up to step 4 and reinstalling the nivida driver fixed my problem.


Firefighters came to the rescue of two elderly women stranded in a stalled car in icy waters that flooded a Massachusetts cemetery, officials said.
Members of the Springfield Fire Department carried the women, who were 87 and 89, to safety after being called about 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
One firefighter left his helmet on the hood of the car as he carried one of the women on his back while he waded through the icy water.
Both women were removed safely and were not injured in the incident.
The women's four-door sedan had stalled out in St. Michael's Cemetery after heavy downpours flooded the graveyard's roads.
Several rounds of heavy rain along the East Coast moved in over the weekend, leaving officials concerned over the possibility of widespread flooding from the Florida Panhandle to southern Massachusetts.
Flood watches were posted from Dothan, Georgia up to Trenton, New Jersey, authorities said.

How to use photography in design
By Creative Bloq Staff (Computer Arts) 31 October 2019
Expert advice to help you maximise the potential of photography in design.
Photography in design can be more impactful than graphics or illustration as it communicates the message with a sense of realism, and often packs more of a visual punch, too. However, when your design features photography, some key aspects can get lost in the creation. In this post, eleven top designers share their wisdom of how to maximise the power of photography in design.
If you're still struggling to decide whether you want to use photography or illustration for your project, we've got a handy guide to help you decide over on our 5 reasons to use photography in your designs post. Or check out these photography websites for some killer inspiration.
For specific tips on taking portraits, see our guide to portrait photography.
01. Save bad photography

Chris Harman, founder of Made by Parent advises: "Sometimes you're presented with bad photography for a design project, which is usually a hindrance to your final design. I find that creating monotone/duotone versions of photos can help turn a bad image into something a lot more useable."
"For an interesting visual twist on this, save the image as a one – or two – colour GIF for a really nice dot-matrix effect."
02. Use more than Brightness and Contrast
Harman points out that "the Brightness and Contrast tools are often the only adjustments that designers make when looking to enhance the colours and sharpness of an image. Accompany this with the use of the Smart Sharpen tool to add definition and depth."
03. Let it breathe
James Kape recommends letting your designs breathe with white (or in this case, blue) space (Image credit: James Kape)
"For me, one of the most important elements to consider when working with photography in design is the appropriate use of white space," says James Kape, director and co-founder of OMSE. "There should always be some room left on the page to avoid your work becoming cluttered.
"Whilst it might seem obvious, sometimes it can be the hardest element to conquer."
04. Don't overthink it
"Selecting which shot you should use can often be the most time-consuming stage within your process, especially when you might have upwards of 100 seemingly identical photos to choose from," Kape advises.
"Try not to spend hours deliberating: often your first thoughts are the ones that make the most sense."
05. Let it go in order to punch it up
Lose details from the background picture, says Guillen (Image credit: Mauricio Guillen)
Artist Mauricio Guillen says that when you're using a picture as the background of your layout, you should try to lose details. If you go darker and more blurry, your fonts and design will jump out and have much more impact.
Your image won't suffer if you're subtle, because the reader's brain makes up for the details that are missing.
06. Never assume the basics
Guillen thinks you should always double check the basics. He explains: "Always be sure to check the resolution of your images when working with photography in design. New photographers think that in the digital world everything is done on automatic. It's not."
"If at all possible, try to talk to the photographer in advance to ensure that you're both on the same page as far as the technicalities go."
07. Sketch out, then step away
Seednine designed Poor but Sexy magazine (Image credit: Seed9)
"When I have layout work to do that involves photography and text, I'll start with a few preliminary sketches of how I envision the page to look with the elements," says Ingrid Jones, multi-disciplinary artist and filmmaker, and co-founder of Seednine.
"Then I walk away from the project and go out in search of inspiration. It could be a museum, gallery, book store, or wherever there is visual work that piques my interest. I give myself a chance to get excited about the layout, then begin."
08. Utilise emotion
Jones believes that "photography has an emotional component to it" and advises that you "select images that make you pause – not for shock value necessarily, but because they connect to your theme or story."
"I usually do two or three different versions of a layout before getting to the look and feel I'm after. The trick is not to over-design. Edit yourself, and remember KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid."
09. Know the limits
Johnson Banks digitally removed the hands and feet from the photographs to turn them into stamps for a Great British Fashion set of stamps (for Royal Mail in 2012) (Image credit: Johnson Banks)
Co-founder of Johnson Banks, Michael Johnson discusses the legality of using photography in design, and explains the restrictions:
"Well, we'd love to be able to crop images more than we can, but sometimes there are copyright restrictions on cropping works of art. When we can we'll look for the best, tightest and most powerful crops. But with a Picasso, you can't crop at all."
10. Don't forget your glue
"When you have multiple images in a single layout, you have to keep searching for a way for them to work together, or you'll have to try and bring in other elements," Johnson says.
"When you're dealing with disparate 'art' style imagery, the other elements (symbols, typefaces, colours and so on) become really important as visual glue."
11. Blow up the images

Pablo Mandel, book designer, art director and director of Circular Studio offers his perspective on image size: "If the client doesn't have an in-house marketing department, you'll probably need to spend a lot of time looking for right-sized images, helping them search their archives." He suggests investing in software to enlarge images without losing quality.
"I use Genuine Fractals: if the image is great quality, this software will enable you to do huge enlargements with acceptable results."
12. Don't confuse the eye
"When working with architectural images, for example, design-wise it makes sense not to put day and night shots together as it confuses the reader – unless you're comparing the same view of the building during night and day, of course," Mandel advises.
13. Be bold
Bold photography from Six for the Roger Dubois Aventador S (Image credit: Made by Six)
Owner/Creative Director of design studio Six, John Kariolis thinks you should be bold with the way you create designs.
"Be creative with images that are not of a very high-resolution, or have been poorly shot. Edit, crop, manipulate or convert to black-and-white (or duotone) any images that are not of desired quality.
"And print your layouts out at full size: you can't always guarantee that what looks good on-screen will look good on the page."
14. Take your time
"Don't start designing until you have all the imagery you know you'll be using. The quality, size and subject may well dictate the design direction as a whole," says Kariolis.
"Similarly, try to avoid cropping an image in Photoshop before placing it into your design. If you use InDesign to crop the image, it's a lot easier to tailor it on the fly to suit the design as it progresses."
15. Go on shoots
Garavin suggests being at the shoot to make sure you get what you want. (New Graphic's work for Arts & Disability, Ireland) (Image credit: New Graphic)
"Good photographers make the designer's job easy, but if the photos are going to be combined with type later, it's always good to be at the shoot to really get what you need," asserts Dave Garavin, co-founder of strategic design firm New Graphic.
"Why? Great photos with no space for text, or where the text fights with the image, do not generally make for great design."
16. Be flexible
"We often use grids for our designs, but sometimes photos demand their own individual space. Break the grid." says Garavin.
17. Have an opinion
Morgan's photography for Louis Vuitton (Image credit: Jamie Morgan )
"As a photographer," says Jamie Morgan, "I find a really good art director will help me pick the right image – one that has the right form and shape for the design. It might not be the best photograph from my point of view, but it's best for the job.
"It fits their vision. There are always five or six choices, and it's a matter of opinion about which one works best – and a good art director will always have a very strong opinion."
18. Don't skimp on the photographer's brief
"If my art director has a layout in mind, I work my stuff around it. There are lots of practical things to take into consideration, such as the right cropping and so on," suggests Morgan.
"If there's going to be a lot of type, you can't have a busy background, or if it's for a DPS, you have to make sure the subject is on one side of the spread. I need to know all of that in advance."
19. Adapt and overcome
Calderly recommends that you unify press shots by creating a duotone with black and grey (Image credit: Graphic Therapy)
Founder and creative director of Graphic Therapy, David Calderly recommends that you learn to adapt.
"When working for some of the smaller independent record labels, you can be faced with the unexpected introduction of the 'press shots'. Here's a way of unifying said shots: once you've done your surgery and retouching, create a duotone with black and a light PMS grey.
"Take most of the black out of the lighter tones and increase it in darker areas, and then save the preset in case you need any more further down the line. Take your duotone images and convert them to CMYK, finally adding just a small amount of noise to imitate film grain.
"You now have a wonderful four-colour B/W-looking print that complements your other graphics, and can be applied to different shots taken by different photographers, making them seem like they're all from a single shoot."
20. Learn the rules
"You need to know, for example, that monotype fonts are less readable on images than serif or sans-serif typefaces," says Xavier Erni, co-founder of art direction and graphic design studio Neo Neo.
"If you use monotype for long texts your design will be less readable, so if you do it, make sure that's the effect you're going for."
But don't stick to them too tightly, he adds.
"In Swiss graphic design, the rules and grids are often very strict. Trying constantly to comply with these rules can make design a bit monotonous and you don't want that. You must know how to be creative in bypassing the rules sometimes. Like using huge type on an image to make the image unreadable."

Biografia
Nato a Milano, all'età di 10 anni divenne l'allievo favorito di Enrico Cecchetti alla scuola di ballo del Teatro alla Scala di Milano. Cecchetti lo volle al suo fianco alla prima londinese del Ballo Excelsior di Luigi Manzotti.

Dal 1866 al 1902, Albertieri fu primo ballerino all'Empire Ballet di Londra, lavorando negli ultimi anni della sua vita londinese anche come coreografo at Covent Garden (1895-1902).

Albertini debutta nel 1895 al Metropolitan come ballerino. Dal 1910 al 1913 lavora come maestro di ballo alla Chicago Lyric Opera e quindi, dal 1913 al 1927, come insegnante alla Metropolitan Opera Ballet School, dove mise in scena come coreografo molti balletti ed opere. In 1915 aprì anche una sua scuola privata a New York; il giovane Fred Astaire fu uno dei suoi allievi più promettenti. Nel 1923 pubblicò un libro sulla danza, The Art of Terpsichore (New York, 1923).

Albertieri fu conosciuto per i suoi metodi rigorosi sulla linea dell'insegnamento ricevuto da Cecchetti, ma anche per la sua generosità che lo spingeva ad aiutare gli allievi di talento pur privi di mezzi.

I had such a beautiful six days at Morning Star House of Prayer. I didn't want to leave.
First of all, the house, as you can see on the Web site, is one-of-a-kind—built in 1724. What you can't see is that it is naturally separated from the rest of civilization, being neatly surrounded by a babbling brook. Woodland creatures abound—I saw a groundhog and a family of six deer, though I sadly missed the resident fox. There are also moonflowers, roses, and other blossoms. It reminds me of nothing so much as an English country farmhouse.
The spacious grounds include Stations of the Cross, a Grotto, and a labyrinth. I walked the labyrinth, stopping at various points to read one of the "Song of Degrees" psalms until I'd read them all. I found it a good aid to prayer, although I did get dizzy after a while.
Up a short flight of steps from the house's grounds is the Delaware and Raritan Canal, part of a national park. It goes on for miles. I would walk along it and look at the ducks. I saw lots of things that I haven't seen in years, like a perfectly formed spider web. It was a wonderful feeling to walk in such a lovely place, with greenery and reflecting water, and yet be an easy walk from shelter. I found a bench facing the canal where I could write. Periodically joggers and bikers would come by, but much of the time I was alone with the birds and crickets.
I also walked down to the Delaware River state park, where I found delicious solitude. The only thing keeping me from spending the entire day there was fear of Lyme disease, which is carried by deer ticks. The river was very low due to lack of rain. It was easy to walk right down to its shore and take in a vista unmarred by smog or tall buildings.
One day, I told the sisters that I would like to learn the rosary. Right away, they provided me with pamphlets of prayers and a lovely rosary that I could keep. The rosary has white pearlized beads and was blessed by John Paul the Great. They also e-mailed me links to Web sites on how to say the rosary (I mentioned here earlier that the nuns had wireless), and they lent me a tape of the rosary recitation and a Walkman so I could listen while taking a stroll.
Thus equipped, I said the rosary for the first time while walking along the canal. It was a very special experience. I felt close to St. Maximilian, as I thought about how praying the rosary helped sustain him when he was suffering persecution—and I remembered how he prayed for his persecutors.
I also realized for the first time what a powerful weapon the rosary is against abortion facilities. To hail Mary is to hail the woman who said "yes" to the Lord and "yes" to life. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]" (Ephesians 6:12).
What really made my stay meaningful were my hostesses, Sister Josephine Aparo and Sister Geraldine Calabrese of the Religious Teachers Filippini. They are both retired from teaching--Sister Jo taught math and Sister Gerry taught grammar--but they're hardly retired. They give spiritual direction to individuals, they lead group retreats, and—I love this—they make music! Sister Jo is a bona fide singing nun, composing the melodies for the nuns' tunes, and the pair collaborate on lyrics.
Their songs aren't available online, but the sisters have allowed me to present a couple of samples. The angelic "I Am With You," from the album of the same title, features Sister Jo's voice doubled along with that of Liz Penza, an associate of the nuns' order. "I Need a Friend" from God Is Love, a song that was originally written for children, is the hit—it makes me imagine what if the Waitresses had taken the Catechism. To order I Am With You and God Is Love, follow the links on Morning Star House of Prayer's Web site.
Sister Gerry and Sister Jo have, of necessity, a "Mary and Martha" kind of complementary relationship, as Sister Gerry is older (82) and blind. Watching them together, I was deeply touched by the love and friendship between them. I'm not used to seeing creative people with such different personalities who spend so much time together get along so well. Just from being allowed to take part in the way they lived, all their good deeds aside, I received a taste of the peaceful kingdom that is to come. It's something that I pray I'll keep with me, and I'm very thankful to have experienced it.
Her ability and experience made her work flourish and spread to our diocese and to many others. Her endeavors earned her the name ofuna donna forte—a strong woman. Though she lived wholly for her foundation, she never ceased praying at the feet of the Lord, thus uniting, in admirable fashion, the virtues of Martha and Mary.
Please pray that God will bless the donnas fortes Sister Geraldine and Sister Josephine, and their order. The world is a better place because of the faith and love that they bring to it from their little oasis by the Delaware.

Golden Bomber wants to put an end to 'CD bonuses' with 'Rola no Kizudarake'
Golden Bomber will be releasing new single 'Rola no Kizudarake' on August 20 and has revealed the PV through their YouTube channel.
With this single, Golden Bomber seeks "specialization in music". This is an experiment for the band – the CD will come with a plain white jacket cover and include none of those bonuses that have been popular in the past couple of years.
This idea has received praise from netizens across the internet, but at the same time, is seemingly alienating fans of groups who use these strategies.
Member Kiryuin expressed on his blog his pessimism towards the industry trend where "the cost of CDs include bonuses to coerce fans into buying them for the additional perks and not the music itself, with the song ending up as a bonus in the CD." For Golden Bomber, he put forth his intention of putting a stop to these multiple versions, handshake events and randomized cards that come with CDs, wanting to sell just the music and nothing extra. He hopes other groups see the harm and follow suit.
Some fans of groups like EXILE and AKB48 were not amused by his views and took this as an attack on their favorite groups and their marketing strategies.
To get an idea why, EXILE TRIBE will be releasing the album 'The Revolution' a week after Golden Bomber's 'Rola no Kizudarake'. Included in the bonuses are live event tickets and music cards, coercing fans to buy multiple copies. From October, to commemorate the release of the album in conjunction with the Dome Tour, they will be holding EXILE TRIBE pep rally!! "THE High Five", holding nationwide high five events.
Kiryuin is taking a bold stance choosing to stir up what has become the norm in an increasingly stagnant music industry, but it seems like in the process of doing that, he has created animosity with other fandoms.
