CLASSIC TV organisation Kaleidoscope has announces the schedule for its summer event, which will be focusing around music on television.
The special guest at the event, taking place on Saturday, June 9, in Stourbridge, will be John Henshall – a pioneering cameraman and director of photography who had a long association with many top musical acts.
Henshall is an avid collector of archive television material – the recently recovered Top of the Pops clip of David Bowie performing The Jean Genie came from him – and Kaleidoscope have been busy cataloguing the missing TV treasures within his collection, some of which will be screened at the forthcoming event.

MORE than 1,000 wild animals in the Serengeti ecosystem have been rescued from their death traps, thanks to a de-snaring programme by a non-profit organisation and government agencies carrying out wildlife conservation and community development work along the western corridor.
The Grumeti Fund whose mission is to contribute to the conservation of the Serengeti ecosystem has successfully removed 1,392 snares used by poachers in trapping and ultimately killing wild animals in the area.
According to the Fund's Impact report 2018 availed to 'Daily News' yesterday, such a sheer number of wild animals had been saved by the programme that aims at rescuing them alive.
The animals are mostly trapped and poached either for bush-meat and ivory, particularly from elephants. The report singles out snaring as a serious problem bedeviling the wild animals in the ecosystem.
"Together with our TAWIRI and TANAPA partners we saved a number of injured animals from their human induced injuries in 2018, but snaring remains one of the greatest challenges in the Serengeti ecosystem," says the report.
Apart from removing the snares from the wild animals, the Fund also managed to seize 187 traditional weapons used by suspected poachers traversing the area as well as achieving a 50 per cent success rate in arrests using covert cameras.
"Working with communities to manage human-wildlife conflict is critical, not only for the success of our day-to-day activities, but for the future of people and wildlife.
With an increase in both human and wildlife populations comes more strained interactions; and the pressure on organisations such as ours to find solutions for this impending crisis mounts,'' it says.
The Grumeti Fund's mission is to contribute to the conservation of the Serengeti ecosystem, its natural landscape, and its wildlife. Its operations combine cutting- edge technology with welltrained boots on the ground to combat poaching menace.
The fund partners with local communities and other stakeholders to build capacity and thereby help them to realise their development aspirations.


Yay!!! So many fun pictures to see! It's time for coffee with my hubby and Sunday night shows, but I'll be back when I have time to peruse leisurely and enjoy! 🙂 More comments to come!
I love the photos. Its kind of nice to see them all together, to get an idea of the flow of time. Your kids are just darling. I especially loved the jumping shots of the kids at "recess".
I can't even comment on each individual picture or day because I loved the whole flippin' thing. Sorry you're all still sick…we've actually lucked out this year in that department. Looking at all your pics makes me all the more anxious for my 4th to get here. :c) And holy turds, when did Ember get so BIG?!?!? I swear the last time you posted she was itty bitty and now she seems like a big baby girl!!
Sorry to hear y'all still aren't feeling well.
The tummy time pictures of the 4 kids is so sweet.
I love the interaction between your children.The pretend pregnancy and camel pictures are so cute.
Ember looks so pretty in brown and polka dots and is getting so big.
Sierra's looks so proud of her All about Spelling boards.
Brooklyn is such a little model,love all the faces she makes.
Love all the bonfire pics but especially the profile pic of you and Ember looking at the fire. There's something so sweet about it, and I love your similar expressions.
The 2 photos of Ember under Happy Baby…melt-your-heart cute! I know that smile must just light up your insides…and the 2nd photo is all about the eyes!
Sweet photos of Payson sleeping on his bedroom floor. It's amazing that kids can be so comfortable in those kinds of positions!
Love everything about the photo of Payson sitting in the orange chair with his binky and elephant (one of the side-by-side photos)…adorable squinty-eyed expression, bright, vivid colors, great light…just perfect!
The Costco comedy act…too funny! Your girls seem so cooperative about getting their picture taken. You're able to capture so many great moments and so many sides of their personalities!
Precious photo of Ember in the bathroom in her bouncy seat. You can see Dad's arms and know that she's looking directly at him…Payson in the background in the tub…and everything bathed in sunlight. Lovely.
I enjoyed the homeschool photos, too…and all the rest!
Sorry you're still dealing with sickness at your house. It's been lingering around ours as well. Hope you're all feeling back to normal soon!
Love the photos you took with the beautiful Arizona desert & sky in the background. What an amazing backyard to look out to everyday. And those pics of Ember, oh my, they make me want another. She is just too precious for words. Love her smile.
I can't get over how happy Ember is! Talon was totally like that. Tenley, on the other hand, alternates between yelling at me cuz she's really, truly upset about something or fake drama girl crying and wimpering. And she's not even 6 weeks old yet! It's kind of funny, actually. I think I'm going to have my hands full with this one!

Wildlife, Land Trust purchase land
Sep 19, 2019 at 3:29 PM Sep 20, 2019 at 9:08 AM
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and Three Rivers Land Trust announced the recent purchase of 2,463 acres, including 45 miles of shoreline along the Yadkin and South Yadkin rivers in Davie, Davidson and Rowan counties, according to a news release.
The Commission and Three Rivers Land Trust worked together to raise the $7.7 million needed to make this purchase a reality. The collaborative effort brought federal, state, nonprofit, family foundation partners and private donors together, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife Restoration Program, N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund, Ducks Unlimited in association with Wrangler, N.C. Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Duke Energy, Nancy Stanback, Fred and Alice Stanback, Eddie Smith Jr. and The Cannon Foundation.
The purchase took place pursuant to the 2007 Yadkin River Relicensing Settlement Agreement in which Alcoa offered North Carolina and/or Three Rivers Land Trust (formerly The Land Trust for Central North Carolina) the opportunity to purchase these lands for conservation purposes.
"Many of the parcels have been open for hunting, fishing and wildlife-associated recreation as a part of our game lands program for more than 30 years," stated Brian McRae, Wildlife's land and water access chief. "We are thrilled to permanently protect this land that provides high quality wildlife habitat, public recreational opportunities and protects water quality in the Yadkin River basin."
"Conserving these lands along the Yadkin River was foremost in the minds of Land Trust founders going all the way back to 1995. Our staff and donors worked diligently towards this moment for the past 24 years" said Travis Morehead, executive director of The Three Rivers Land Trust. "We are proud to have helped N.C. WRC (Wildlife Resources Commission) permanently conserve these lands for generations of North Carolinians to enjoy."
"Protecting such a significant stretch of the Yadkin River will help maintain and improve the river's water quality," said Walter Clark, executive director of the Clean Water Management Trust Fund. "The combination of conserving the river for its environmental and recreational benefit fits perfectly with the Fund's mission."
An additional 2,420 acres that are currently enrolled in the Commission's Game Lands Program and span 31 miles of frontage along the eastern shore of the Tuckertown Reservoir is owned by Alcoa and also is subject to the Yadkin River Relicensing Settlement Agreement.
The Commission and Three Rivers Land Trust have until September 2021 to raise $8.5 million needed to purchase these lands to ensure they stay publicly accessible. If you are interested in supporting this project contact Jessie Birckhead, commission land acquisition manager, at 919-707-0066 or Morehead at 704-647-0302.
The total combined area, which includes 76 miles of Yadkin River shoreline, provides access to water resources for more than 1.7 million people, according to Three Rivers. The area, despite being privately owned, has also been accessible as public game lands for more than 30 years. More than half the land to be purchased — 2,930 acres — is in Davidson County, according to Crystal Cockman, director of conservation for Three Rivers.

The contribution of Australian academia to the world's best economics research: 2001-2010
Joan Rodgers, University of Wollongong
Frank Neri, University of Wollongong
Rodgers, Joan and Neri, Frank, The contribution of Australian academia to the world's best economics research: 2001-2010, Department of Economics, University of Wollongong, Working Paper 14-03, 2014, 32.
This paper investigates the output of top-tier economics research by Australian academic economists from 2001 to 2010. By constructing and analysing a unique database of all substantive publications in the world's top 45 economics journals, we compare Australia's output with those of over 100 other countries, determine whether Australia's output has increased since 2001, and rank Australian universities based on their output. Our analysis suggest that Australia's output of top-tier economics research, both in absolute and relative terms, increased over the study period and that on a per capita basis, appears to be converging to the levels of the most research intensive countries. Our analysis also suggests that the long standing dominance of the top one or two Australian universities is diminishing.

We have all settled really well at school and made lots of friends. When we started school we painted a portrait of ourselves.
When we started we also wrote our names. We have been working very hard and can't believe how much our handwriting is improving. We will write them again this term.
We are not only working very hard at school, but we also do lots of exciting things outside of school. Lots of us enjoy swimming and have many badges. Some of us are in football clubs and many go to dancing classes. We like to share these fantastic achievements from home with our teachers on our Tree of Success.


Taken from Murray Rothbard's timeless essay Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature. Page 7.
Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.


Checkers was found as a young kitten at the Mostly Mutts shelter. He has been living with one of our volunteers and gets along with the other cats and her dog. Checkers is a bit shy but once he gets to know you he is very friendly. Checkers is neutered, up to date on shots, and litter box trained. He has tested negative for Felv/FIV. Checkers would do best in a home with other cats. Checkers was born in May 2017.

'Notting Hill' (1999)

A movie review by Walter Frith

http://www.ofcs.org

Like most movie fans, every once in a while I enjoy something light to take
the sting out of all the bad movies that crop up every so often, and so far,
1999 has had its share of real clunkers.  So now that the summer season has
arrived, can things get better or worse?  That depends on who you ask.  Last
summer brought 'Saving Private Ryan' but it also brought 'Godzilla' which
was disliked by most.  Romantic comedies have the dubious distinction of all
looking alike so what's so interesting about 'Notting Hill'?  Aside from the
fact that it's a quiet, well written and cleverly conceived comedy, it also
has many scenes of brisk drama about how bad people think their lives are
and finding out that the rich and famous sometimes don't have it much
easier.

In 'Notting Hill' Julia Roberts plays Anna Scott, the most famous female
movie star in the world (that must have been a stretch for her to play).
While visiting London to promote her new film, she browses the little
neighbourhood shops in the Notting Hill district and enters a little travel
book store owned and operated by William Thacker (Hugh Grant).  After making
a purchase she leaves the store and has an accident later with Grant and
gets covered in orange juice.  He offers to let her come to his flat and get
cleaned up and the two of them later strike up a romantic relationship.

Thacker has a problem with women that makes him say some things in a rather
tongue tied fashion, a perfect contrast to Roberts' character who says
little, listens while looking directly her subject and knows exactly how to
respond.  William takes Anna to meet his best friends and his sister.  There
is Max and Bella (Tim McInnerny and Gina McKee).  She is in a wheel chair
from a tragic domestic accident and Max takes care of her.  William's sister
Honey (Emma Chambers), works in a record store and is rather goofy around
her own kind, let alone meeting a rich and famous movie star.  The most
hilarious but yet somewhat out of place character is Spike (Rhys Ifans).
He's the scruffy, slow witted room mate to William and provides some of the
film's funniest site gags.

The film reminds us in wake of the Princess Diana tragedy of 1997 that the
media is ruthlessly obsessed with celebrity fed only by the will of the
public.  There is one startling scene where the media find out that Anna is
staying at William's flat and they take pictures of all parties concern in
rapid fashion that will haunt Anna's career once the gossip starts.

I suppose what struck me as most whimsical about 'Notting Hill' is the fact
that those involved make the film work with straight, no-nonsense dialogue.
The film has very little music score and relies on romance to make it all
sing.  There is one intimate little night time date that William and Anna
embark on where they trespass on to private property and enjoy the pleasures
of a garden ladled setting to further their romance.

Another plus the film offers are the scenes where we see ordinary people
going about their lives and the audience can relate to this and the audience
isn't consumed by the trappings of a rich movie star's life but rather she
is brought down to the ordinary lifestyle and this is a fresh and proper
perspective the film takes in making it more appealing than any other
direction it could have taken.

Director Roger Michell makes it all unfold attractively like a play and
screenwriter Richard Curtis ('Bean', 'Four Weddings and a Funeral') writes
some inventive lines and injects just enough humour and drama to find a
perfect balance and 'Notting Hill' has an ending that is not really expected
but fate plays a hand in the plot all along and some will envy the outcome
of this film while other's will like their present lives just fine the way
they are.

Q: Add multiple mixins to one class with Jackson I have to minins:
@JsonIdentityInfo(generator=ObjectIdGenerators.None.class,
                  property="@id")
public interface NoReferenceMixin {

}
@JsonTypeInfo(use=JsonTypeInfo.Id.CLASS,
              include=JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY,
              property="@class")
public interface FullClassInfoMixin { }

I want to apply both of these to a particular class, Thing.  It appears that I can only add one Mixin per class, as evidenced by experiment and the existing of ObjectMapper.findMixInForClass which returns a single Class.
I have tried making an interface that extends both:
public interface ThingMixins extends NoReferenceMixin, FullClassInfoMixin { }

findMixInForClass returns the mixing, but FullClassInfoMixin is not applied.  (It is harder to check if NoReferenceMixin is applied and I have not checked that.)
What is the correct way to do this?
I am using jackson 2.9.0.pr4

A: Your work-around of having an interface that extends 2 interfaces you want to combine should work; annotations are scanned from specific mixin class throughout inheritance chain.
If you can reproduce the problem with simple example maybe file an issue against jackson-databind.

These are the instructions for running two SSH daemons in a Systemd server distro, Redhat-style (RHEL, CentOS, and Scientific Linux). Click here if you need the instructions for a SysV Init distro.
THE FOLLOWING IS OFFERED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THIS IS WHAT I DID, BUT YOU MAY NEED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHANGES TO YOUR SYSTEM. IF IT BREAKS, YOU GET TO FIX IT.
I copied the sshd_config file, and modified the new file as necessary for the policy I wanted. Wherever the old file mentioned ssh<whatever>, I changed it to otherssh<whatever>. I also changed Port, ListenAddress, and other variables. I made sure that the original file only listened on the lan NIC.
Since I modified the Port in the othersshd_config file, I had to make sure that selinux would recognize that the new port was for sshd.
I created a new othersshd.service, othersshd-keygen.service, and othersshd.socket files and made necessary changes (for example, in othersshd.service, I added "-f /etc/ssh/othersshd_config" to the sshd command).
I created a /usr/sbin/othersshd-keygen with all key file names changed from ssh* to otherssh*. Do not change KEYGEN=/usr/bin/ssh-keygen.
Make sure that it is executable and has the correct selinux context. Then create the new keys.
I created various soft links.
I was using firewalld, so I needed to create /etc/firewalld/services/otherssh.xml and change short and port.
I changed /etc/hosts.allow, adding "othersshd : ALL" at the bottom.
Finally, I could start the new sshd.
There is a drawback to this scheme: if "yum update" changes any of the ssh config or init files, I have to manually make similar changes to the files I've copied and modified.

Scotty McCreery to Release 'Christmas with Scotty McCreery' on October 16
Scotty McCreery will release a new album, Christmas with Scotty McCreery, on Oct. 16 that features many of the holiday songs that have played an important role in his life, as well as two exciting new originals that he hopes will have a place in many Christmases to come.
"Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year," he says. "And what is Christmas without music? We start listening to Christmas songs early in the McCreery household, so it felt right. I've always wanted to record a Christmas album since I've had my music career.
"It's a special thing for me," he says. "As a family, we were all really excited about making a Christmas album. Now we can add my CD to the collection we listen to."
McCreery's goal for his Christmas album was to create a body of work that makes people feel good and celebrate the birth of Jesus. "I just wanted it to be holly and jolly and really lift people's spirits in the Christmas season because it's supposed to be a really happy time. But I also wanted to get across the real reason for the season. 'Christmas in Heaven' is my favorite song on the album and it really speaks to that."
Of course, the album embraces the traditional country sound for which McCreery has become known, but he also stretches his boundaries a bit to showcase songs with a more rocking feel, like "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Santa Claus Is Back in Town," and even create a musical atmosphere reminiscent of the Rat Pack on some songs.
"There will be some songs that sound like a different Scotty – not different as far as not country, but a different sound than they heard on the first album. Hopefully, they will be pleasantly surprised."
He says deciding which songs to record was the most difficult part of the process because there are so many great Christmas standards. "I knew of a few that I just had to do, like 'Mary, Did You Know?' and 'The First Noel.' Then we heard some originals that blew me away and it was a no-brainer to put them on the album. When I heard 'Christmas in Heaven,' I listened to the first verse and automatically said, 'You can stop it. That is on the album.'
"The other new song is called 'Christmas Is Coming Around,'" he says. "That's just a great story about Christmas time and really just lifting people's spirits. Times may be tough, but during Christmas, it needs to be a happy time."
Standards on the album include "Winter Wonderland," "Jingle Bells," "Let It Snow," "The Christmas Song" and "O Holy Night." "With me being such a huge Elvis fan, I had to have one Elvis song, so I chose 'Santa Claus Is Back in Town.'"
Since his elementary school days, he has delivered special performances for Christmas. In elementary school, he got a last-minute solo in a holiday concert and was able to sing it with ease. He played Joseph in a Christmas play and sang "O Holy Night" in fifth grade.
"For the last few years, I sang 'Mary, Did You Know?' in Christmas Eve services before the church service started with my friend Cody Wilson. He would play a little drum and I would play the guitar.
"Music is a very important part of Christmas time for me and everybody else."
Beginning today, McCreery's official site, www.ScottyMcCreery.com, will have an exclusive CD offer for fans to pre-order an autographed copy of the CD, receive a video message from Scotty and enter for a chance to meet or speak to McCreery.
"There will be some fun things to promote this album," he says. "For example, I'll making Christmas calls to 100 random fans who purchase the album from my site and everyone who buys the album from my site will get an autographed copy and will be entered to win a fun meet and greet with me."
McCreery quickly emerged as the most successful new country artist of the last year. He won New Artist of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April, the same award he received at the American Country Awards in December. He also won the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for "The Trouble With Girls" at the 2012 CMT Music Awards. He was ranked No. 1 on Billboard's list of Top New Country Artists for 2011 and has been touring as part of Brad Paisley's "Virtual Reality Tour 2012" presented by Chevrolet.
Christmas with Scotty McCreery, an 11 song collection produced by Mark Bright, follows his history-making debut album, Clear As Day, which was certified platinum for sales of more than 1 million units in just three months. Clear As Day debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country Albums charts, making him the youngest man in history to open at the top of the all-genre chart with a debut release. It also garnered the highest sales of any country solo album released last year and held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for six weeks. The album's first two singles, "I Love You This Big" and "The Trouble With Girls," have also been certified gold.

I can hardly wait for this album ,`it should be the best ever with his amazing voice.I left a comment on the othe rpage that I just heard for the very first time Christmas in heaven,and it made me think of all my loved ones ,it made me cry.
My Prediction: Scotty's Christmas album is going platinum in less than 3 months!!! We all want it.........we all will buy it........for ourselves, for friends and for family........I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Kait, Or
O wow what a beautiful song collection and just thinking of Scotty´s voice singing them- I can hardly wait and crying already
I just pre-ordered Scotty's Christmas album and like the rest of you, I can hardly wait to hear it!!!
Ditto to both!
Sharron gail September 4, 2012 at 11:19 PM
I can't wait either.and can't wait to hear about the news for 2013 tour.the big news thats he's got for us. I just love hearing his voice It brings Joy to my heart. this will be a Christmas gift to me.Scotty I love you sooooo much.
Angela September 4, 2012 at 1:24 PM
I just put in my preorder for the album and I can't wait. I shouldn't have because I'm still out of work but I need something to lift my spirits and that's what listening to Scotty's beautiful voice does for me....brings joy to my heart.
Bless your heart Angela!!..I hope God blesses you with a new job soon!!..I felt the same!!..I am a widow on a not-very-big income, but just HAD to have Scotty's album!!..He and his beautiful voice are such a joy to me!!..So this is my Christmas gift to me!!..GS
And wouldn't it be a BIG bonus if he calls you or me??!!
PS...Just wish he would do an early release single!
Thank you so much for the kind words...it made me cry a little. God bless everyone.
Can't wait to hear Scotty sing my favorite Christmas song...O Holy Night.
So excited. Scotty chose some wonderful Christmas songs! I'm really wondering what is meant when they said:
"There will be some songs that sound like a different Scotty – not different as far as not country, but a different sound than they heard on the first album. Hopefully, they will be pleasantly surprised."
Oh! My! This makes me even more excited!! Can't imagine Scotty sounding even better than on his 1st album, cause its good! Also two new songs, YES!
I HOPE he didn't change too much!!..I really DON'T WANT a different Scotty!!
SHARRON GAIL September 6, 2012 at 6:17 AM
I hope that he didn't either. but if he did it will be worth it. I KNOW that we don't want him to just not yet right? IF he did we will hear another sound coming from that voice that we all love.which it will be amazing. and just blow us away with it.love you so much.
All of us that visit other sites need to let people know it's available. Some of his fans may not be as obsessed as us...and we want those sales up there fast and furious.....I believe it's possible to debut at #1 on BB....what u'll thinkin?
Yes!!!..That's one reason I preordered, though it will probably be cheaper at Walmart, etc. later!
Good idea to post the news evrywhere like on all You Tube sites where lots of new fans would see it. Hoping for the #1 on BB and hoping for huge sales
I pre-ordered one copy, but I am definitely going to hit the stores and buy more than that as gifts, I just want mine a little quicker!! I love to chat up Scotty at the store check-out when I buy his albums. I think pre-ordered copies get delivered a wee bit sooner than the actual release date. My heart is pounding, I'm so excited!!! Calm down! Gotta wait around 5-6 more weeks (whew)!
Is this his considered his second album or will he still be releasing a regular album next year? I'm hoping for both!!
I can hardly wait to get it in the mail. I had to order 2, one for me and one for a gift. I hope we get one or more videos from this album. Thanks, Scotty. Your fans have been waiting for this and I believe there will be some new fans when they buy this Christmas album. God bless you Scotty, your fans, and America
Just pre-ordered my Christmas album and now the "long" wait for it to come!!!! Sounds like it is going to be a great one!!! I am so excited!! Can't get enough of Scotty and I am a Great-Grandmother at that!!!! My family gets a kick out of me,but they love him also!!!!
Just ordered mine.Can't wait to get it.
I´m so glad I already preordered my 4 copies as I just read that we only can preorder today and tomorrow. And then the announcment of the 2013 tour we haven´t heard about. Great news. I knew he had something up his sleeve
I just pre-ordered my copy. Can't wait to hear about the 2013 tour.
Florida Grandma September 4, 2012 at 4:27 PM
Got my pre-order in this morning. I, too, am so excited about this Christmas cd. I listened to a song with the words "Christmas in Heaven" and if this is the one Scotty chose for his album, I absolutely LOVE IT! With his gorgeous, soulful voice on this, it will be amazing. If he performs it in concert, there will not be a dry eye in the audience....it is so emotionally beautiful. This album is going to be PLATINUM...I just know it!!!
I will see him in concert 4 days before his Christmas CD release, sure hope he surprises us with a sneak peak of just ONE song from this CD!!! Sigh.....a girl can dream.....What about Christmas Cookies? Hopefully that will be on there. If not I will still be excited.
I just listened to Elvis singing Santa Claus is back in town. Scotty singing this will drive the girls crazy. lol
There are several different Christmas In Heaven songs and poems. I wonder which one Scotty recorded. I guess I have to wait and find out.
I didn't hear anything about a 2013 tour. Where did you hear about that???
Its on Idol chatter. Here is the link.
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2012/09/scotty-mccreerys-christmas-album-due-oct-16/1#.UEaBYCLsZ5U
Know everyone always has problem with these links although I never do....but just when I'm dying to know something my usual method didn't work...I'm dying to hear about this 2013 tour....I'm still thinking this was great news he mentioned couple of wks ago....Also I remember reading that CMA awards nominees would be announced Sept 5th (tomorrow) on some morning show. Wish I could remember which one....anyone heard anything remotely official on that?
Good Morning America, 9:15 EST
Well i get on and it says some things are currently out of stock.
I just ordered mine, can't wait.
Some one on twitter said site is back up you can preorder now.Can our fans from out of the country preorder??I hope so that will help get our sales up so we can reach gold or plat.
k September 5, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Pre-order for now is only valid in the US - I am also out of the US and I had planned on purchasing several for gifts - I hope they accommodate international orders very soon! -
mchcat September 4, 2012 at 7:57 PM
Taste of Country is running the story - that will help - I ordered his two because I saw it on facebook and saw there were only two days to get the orders in. I am so excited for this. Up to now my favorite Christmas CD has been on of the George Strait ones - but I am sure Scotty's will take its place. So excited
Just ordered my Christmas album and am really looking forward to getting it! I know that it will be great! Scotty really lifts my spirit every day as I listen to the two albums that I have. Thanks Scotty for all your hard work and a million thanks to your family as they go on this journey with you. God bless you and your family. Grandma in TX
Just saw on twitter some one ordered 17 for gifts.If this keeps on today and tomorrow Scotty will have writers cramp.
Well tough luck kid.....not feeling too sorry for him on that one; guys gotta do what a guy's gotta do to go platinum...bet it wld be another record breaker for a Country Christmas Album to debut at #1...on BB200; actually don't know as I didn't pay attn. to this stuff BS (before Scotty). I see where someone said they got msg it was sold out....Disappointing for the fan but the silver lining in that one would mean very good news if it really is selling out.
That's strange cuz I read morning on his official website that there would be a drawing for a meet and greet in your hometown, which one would assume means 2013...at least for me as he isn't scheduled to come here this year. Nothing was said about winning a trip. I think somebody gave out wrong info somewhere.....
I read somewhere, too that a free trip and lodging were included!
Can't preorder when the site keeps saying it is down.
I have been trying to order Scotty's Christmas album but I just keep getting the message "some of the selected items are out of stock". Does anyone know if there is a problem with the site? How can I place my order?
TINA September 4, 2012 at 11:47 PM
I ORDERED SCOTTY'S CHRISTMAS CD AND I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. I AM SO EXCITED TO HEAR SCOTTY'S CD.
i was able to pre order np
I clicked the link provided under the photo of his Christmas album. I don't know if that would make a difference. I had no problem. You might want to try the link above in the write-up about his album. I do hope you can pre-order at least by tomorrow. Good luck !
I just heard a beautiful rendition of "Christmas in Heaven" on MJ's big blog!!..
Made me cry!..Am wondering how I can ever make it through Scotty's version without totally losing it!
4:56 you must be from Bossier City, I am from Longview. Just ordered my cd.
Jeatty September 5, 2012 at 9:58 PM
Actually from Shreveport. Can't wait for the Oct 12th concert. We didn't know they were adding Bossier City so we went to the Springfield Mo. concert in Feb. Now we get to see him at home. Have much better seats for this one. Was on the very back top row in Springfield. Hope to get good video to share with FOS site.
Jeatty September 5, 2012 at 10:08 PM
Just ordered 20 Christmas CD merry Christmas to family and friends.
scottys gone platinum for Christmas . My new campaign I challenge all Scotty fans to buy at least 5 Christmas Cds for friends and family if they want it or not. Anyone up for a challenge . I got 20. Fanatical isn't that what they call us . Let's do this by November 1st . Let us know how many you got .
I am sooo curious to hear Scotty's version of "Santa Claus Is Back in Town" - ;)
I just ordered a christmas cd. I may order more or just wait until it is out in the stores. I love to see and buy his cd's for sale in the stores. My son and I always arrange them to be front and center.
I am thrilled with the song choices and I love his verson of Mary Did You Know?
It should be a great cd with Mark Bright producing it. Of course, it will be my all time favorite christmas cd!!!
There all several different songs out by the title Christmas in Heaven. A fellow named Cox is the one that pitched it to Scotty and Cox verified that it is the one sung by S. Schrieber (or something like that). It is about missing someone who is in heaven....I read that in mjsbigblog this morning. I had been wondering which one it was now I know and so do you.
CHRISTMAS PLATINUM THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT!!! I HAVE PRE-ORDERED MINE. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT.
I JUST ORDERED A CD FOR ONE OF MY GRANDSON'S AND I AM SURE I WILL BE BUYING MORE. I LOVE HOW HUMBLE AND SWEET HE IS AND WHAT A GREAT SINGER ALSO. I WILL BE A FAN FOREVER.CAN'T WAIT FOR HIS ALBUM. I KNOW IT WILL BE GREATER THAN HIS FIRST ONE AND THAT WAS THE BEST I HAVE HEARD. SORRY I AM GOING ON SO MUCH BUT I READ THIS SIGHT ALL THE TIME BUT I HAVEN'T WRITTEN BUT ONCE. LOVE EVERYTHING I CAN READ ABOUT HIM. ALL THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS SIGHTS ARE GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH,
I AM SORRY I MEANT TO SPELL SITE THE RIGHT WAY. I AM NEW AT COMPUTERS. TRYING TO LEARN MORE. HOPEFULLY HOW TO SPELL.HAHA
I preordered two - one to open and listen to and one to leave unopened (And Autographed!!) to put in my bank safety deposit box. I have a couple unopened autographed copies of Clear As Day(plus several Walmart's limited edition unopened copies) in my safe deposit box also. I told my kids that was their "inheritance" - SOMEDAY in future years when Scotty is Entertainer of the Year, these unopened autographed copies of his first CD's will be worth ALOT of money!!! They just laugh at me and roll their eyes - haha They won't be laughing in future years though - Can you imagine the $$$ some Elvis collector would pay today for an Autographed copy of Elvis's FIRST record??
A great idea!
That is an awesome idea!!!
Official Video Announcement for Scotty's Christmas cd
Scotty McCreery to Release 'Christmas with Scotty ...


Congratulations to Father Donald Webber C.P. who was elected Provincial of Holy Cross Province last Thursday. A man of many talents, he edited the English translation of the Letters of Saint Paul of the Cross with Brother Laurence Finn C.P. There aren't many photographs of Father Don available, as he is usually on the other side of the camera! You can just about see him here at the Thanksgiving Mass in Saints John and Paul (Rome) after the Canonisation of Saint Charles of Mount Argus. He's the one in a black habit standing against the pillar on the left side of the picture, lining up a photograph.
Father Don, who was based at the Provincial Office in Chicago for the last few years, sent me an e-mail about two weeks ago in which he wrote: Our Chapter is next week, so I'm looking to "retire" somewhere in the Province. -Maybe a retreat center; I really like that ministry. But the other members of the Province had a different idea for his new ministry. I'm sure he will do a fine job. Keep him in your prayers.
Holy Spirit Province (Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea) will hold its Provincial Chapter from 1 to 7 July at Holy Cross Retreat, Templestowe, Melbourne. The Province has set up a Chapter Blog where you can read about the preparations and, in July, get all the news from the Chapter floor.
In Scotland, we celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi last Sunday. At Saint Mungo's, after the 12.00 Mass, we had our usual Eucharistic Procession inside the church. Although Blessed Dominic Barberi reintroduced the public Corpus Christi Procession to England at Stone, Staffordshire, over one hundred and fifty years ago (and Father Tim Finnegan of The Hermeneutic of Continuity followed in his footsteps there a few years ago), Glasgow city centre is probably not ready for it yet.
This picture from the organ gallery, which like the others in this post was taken by Thomas Davie, shows the procession taking shape.
Only the Altar Servers and this year's First Communicants walk in the procession; if everyone were to walk, the front and back of the procession would probably overlap. The members of the congregation remain in their places praying and singing as the Blessed Sacrament is carried around the church.
Having walked around the ambulatory, passing behind the sanctuary, our Master of Ceremonies, Robert, leads the procession down the other side of the church.
… while the boys carry lighted candles (keeping a safe distance from each other in case they set one another alight).
Ronnie has an anxious moment as the canopy negotiates a corner.
The Monstrance passes by, with Father Anthony reverently bringing up the rear.
The procession moves back towards the centre aisle to return to the sanctuary.
The Eucharistic Procession will conclude at the altar with Benediction.
After Benediction, as it was still dry outside, we were able to have a barbecue in the back yard. The First Communicants helped demolish a total of two hundred beefburgers, as well as various other edible items.
A new live TV stream was inaugurated at Mount Argus last Sunday and is now broadcasting daily Mass on the internet. You can find it on the website of the Parish of Saint Paul of the Cross, Mount Argus (-see the sidebar, under Saint Patrick's Province) or, if you have Windows Media Player, just click here.
Pope Benedict described Saint Charles of Mount Argus with these words: During his many years of priestly ministry in England and Ireland, the people flocked to him to seek out his wise counsel, his compassionate care and his healing touch. In the sick and the suffering he recognized the face of the Crucified Christ, to whom he had a lifelong devotion. He drank deeply from the rivers of living water that poured forth from the side of the Pierced One, and in the power of the Spirit he bore witness before the world to the Father's love. At the funeral of this much-loved priest, affectionately known as Father Charles of Mount Argus, his superior was moved to observe: 'The people have already declared him a saint'.
After the Mass, Pope Benedict met the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese. In the afternoon, President McAleese came to the Basilica of Saints John and Paul to venerate the relic of Saint Charles and pray at the tomb of Saint Paul of the Cross. She also visited the monastery to see Saint Paul's cell where he died in 1775 and to meet the community. President McAleese was baptised by a Passionist, Father Anselm, and her guiding light was another Passionist, the late Father Justin; both of them are classmates of our own Father Hubert who celebrated his sixtieth jubilee of ordination here in Rome last Thursday.

Q: Ordinal Encoder with Specific order include NAN Let say that I have this example dataset
test = {'Education': ['High School', 'Uneducated', 'Graduate', 'College', np.nan, 'High School'],
        'Gender': ['M', 'F', 'M', 'F', 'M', 'F']}

and the outcome will be like this, right
    Education   Gender
    High School M
    Uneducated  F
    Graduate    M
    College     F
    NaN         M
    High School F

All I want to do is, specify the 'Education' column to be ordinal, with this code,
edu = ['Uneducated','High School', 'College', 'Graduate']
oe_edu = OrdinalEncoder(categories=[edu])
test['Education'] = oe_edu.fit_transform(test[['Education']])

but I have a problem with the NaN values, and I still want to include NaN values, so later I can use imputation
(my scikit-learn version is 1.02 so it can handle NaN if default categories)
So, the final output to be like this
    Education   Gender
    1.0         M
    0.0         F
    3.0         M
    2.0         F
    NaN         M
    1.0         F

maybe it will work if include this paramater 'handle_unknown' and 'unknown_value', but I'm not sure how to use it

A: Never mind, I got it by myself
edu = ['Uneducated','High School', 'College', 'Graduate']
oe_edu = OrdinalEncoder(categories=[edu], handle_unknown='use_encoded_value', unknown_value=np.nan)
test['Education'] = oe_edu.fit_transform(test[['Education']])

A: You can use pandas.Categorical:
edu = ['Uneducated','High School', 'College', 'Graduate']
test['cat'] = pd.Categorical(test['Education'], categories=edu, ordered=True)

print(test)
     Education Gender          cat
0  High School      M  High School
1   Uneducated      F   Uneducated
2     Graduate      M     Graduate
3      College      F      College
4          NaN      M          NaN
5  High School      F  High School

print(test['cat'].cat.codes)
0    1
1    0
2    3
3    2
4   -1
5    1
dtype: int8


make ; notify "Whooo! We're done!"
When I was really feeling fancy, I'd setup notify to invoke an X10 controller, causing a light to blink on and off. That way, I wouldn't have to be in the room to know the task was done.
These days I'm on Windows, the Linux kernel can be (depending on your hardware and configuration) compiled in minutes, and I don't have X10 setup any longer (note to self: why the heck not?!). But, that doesn't mean I don't have long running tasks I need to kick off from the command line.
One possible solution: use a text to speech command to let me know a task is done. It's not as attention getting as flashing a light in another room, but it's still a solid form of notification. Looking around, it didn't appear as though there was a standard command line tool on Windows for doing text to speech. So, using this AutoHotKey example, I wrote my own.
make ; speak "Compilation is finished."
and my computer will announce when the make command is done.
I'm telling you, AutoHotKey never ceases to amaze.
Maybe you should just send yourself a text message when the build is complete.
> Maybe you should just send yourself a text message when the build is complete.
That would work too. I wonder what the most efficient way to do that from the command line is?
Another option which I'll almost certainly play with is to use: Auto Remote (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoremote) which allows you to make URL requests and have them invoke Tasker.
From there, I can get my phone to vibrate, alarm or do anything else I want at the end of a build.
Google voice has libs to access their texting with perl / python. Not too hard to figure out.
Thanks Greg - I'll have to take a peek.
