Presentation: Artist/Entrepreneur: The Many Hats Of People Who Mean It
About Dan: Heralded as a favorite among Canada's new breed of independent musicians, Dan Mangan's travels initially took him everywhere but home. Spending most of the last six years toting guitar and merch-sack, Dan experienced Vancouver as more of a resting place than roost. He toured nearly non-stop in support of his debut album Postcards And Daydreaming, testing his words, honing his craft, and building a dedicated following. Graciously, if un-strategically, Mangan pretty much accepted every gig that came his way. He train'd and plane'd on his own throughout North America, Europe and Australia because he couldn't afford to bring a band along. When he cobbled together funds to get a second album made, he enlisted Toronto based producer John Critchley and spent weeks at Green Door Studios, bringing in musical collaborators from around the country. By the time that sophomore album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice (named in reference to a Kurt Vonnegut calypso) hit the airwaves across his homeland, Dan had already cut his teeth on the road.
Recently signed to Arts & Crafts, the trail-blazing indie label that brought us Broken Social Scene, Feist, and Stars, Dan Mangan is the first on their roster from the Pacific Northwest. Though Vancouverites once envied the thriving music scenes of Montreal and Toronto, Mangan's rain-soaked hometown has since developed a potent scene of its own – in recent years, its eclectic and supportive musical community has produced the likes of The New Pornographers, Ladyhawk, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Black Mountain, and Japandroids. Mangan is yet another native son of this emergence.
The American release of Nice, Nice, Very Nice comes in the wake of its release in Canada, which saw the good natured and unassuming songwriter skyrocket to critical and fan acclaim. A tidal wave of accolades landed Dan on the covers of publications from coast to coast, and his career went into serious over-drive.
First, fan word-of-mouth and an enthusiastic blogosphere got the infectious single "Robots" onto listener- request playlists and into heavy play rotation on Canadian radio. Next, XM Satellite's The Verge named Mangan Artist of the Year, beating out better-known acts for a $25,000 prize. Then Canada's public broadcaster (CBC) championed "Robots" as Best Song and Best Vocals of 2009. There were showcase appearances at SXSW, more gigs across Europe and throughout the UK, a record deal in Australia, and even a performance in Dubai. Meanwhile, Nice, Nice, Very Nice sat at #1 on the iTunes Canada Singer/Songwriter chart for nearly six months straight. And to top it all off, Mangan was invited to play at England's legendary Glastonbury Festival – on the prestigious John Peel Stage, to boot..
Coffee shops and small bars transitioned to much larger sold-out theatres. Nice, Nice, Very Nice was becoming a Canadian hit. Nobody seemed more surprised or appreciative than Mangan himself – "I set my expectations low and my hopes very high, " he says, "and with the help of so many people, somehow, it always works out in between."
Dan's songs brim with subtle images and irreverent wit. He has a knack for making what is quaint seem universal and what is universal quaint, so that even his most layered lyrics feel strangely familiar. His uniquely gravelled voice conveys a rare type of honesty, a gift that seems to transcend demographics. On stage, his presence is easy and open. It could work against him, but there's no façade; here's a talented, hard-working and unpretentious musician with a poet's way of seeing through absurdity.
With Nice, Nice, Very Nice, Mangan seems to be unwilling to pitch his musical flag in any single section of the record store. He dabbles and teases genre all the way from the indie-rock roar of "Road Regrets" to the string-soaked, orchestral pop of "Fair Verona". Along the way, he visits everything from the alt-country flavour of "Et Les Mots Croisés" to the 3 a.m.-come-down chamber-folk of "Set the Sails" and the clapboard-shack bluegrass we can hear in "Some People" and "Sold".
The diversity of Dan's collaborators has no doubt influenced the versatility of his writing. He has shared stages with everyone from Holy F*ck, Broken Social Scene and Julian Casablancas to Sarah Harmer, Horse Feathers and The Broken Family Band. "There's something to be said for running from pigeonholes," says Mangan of creative process. "I love the fact that innovators like Radiohead and Wilco have never made the same album twice. Or that Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear can play a sarong-wrapped folk-fest in Northern California, or just as easily to hip kids in French bars."
With Nice, Nice, Very Nice about to be released in America by Arts & Crafts, Dan Mangan is eager to hit the road Stateside again. This time around, he'll have a full band with him to help refold the road maps and bring out the gritty richness of the album. This release marks Mangan's official launch in the USA, and success at home hasn't made him any less hungry – the guy's got an appetite. Dan's band is: Gord Grdina, Kenton Loewen, John Walsh.

Q: Providing a customized config file for another package We use Ubuntu at work and I will need to make the same configuration changes to many systems so I am packaging these.
One of the configuration changes I need to make is setting lightdm to autologin.
For me to package this change it seems I will need to clobber the existing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and replace it with the my customized lightdm.conf. This seems like a bad idea.
How can I do this in a way that is won't cause breakage and is inline with how the rest of the community is working?

A: This is often done by creating a package that uses dpkg-divert in its maintainer scripts to move the old config file aside:

*

*In your preinst, divert the file away.
dpkg-divert --add --package $your_package_name --rename \
    --divert /path/to/file.disabled \
    /path/to/file

*In your postrm, divert the file back.
dpkg-divert --remove --package $your_package_name --rename \
    /path/to/file

See: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-diversions.html
One solution that helps abstract dpkg-divert is the config-package-dev package created and maintained by MIT's Debathena project. They have a thorough tutorial.

After meeting with Xiaoyun, we tried to find more people related to the haunting. But surprisingly, every person who heard the midnight knocking had disappeared. They either were not in their dorm or went back home because of an urgent family issue. Everyone vanished just as Xiaoyun mentioned.
Those people simply disappeared. No one knew where they went. The more people we asked, the more depressed we felt.
This event was definitely not just a campus ghost story. It seemed people didn't pay attention to their disappearances because of the short time span. But if this continued developing, it would attract attention from students or even the university.
When we came out of the main building, all my dorm mates who had laughed and joked earlier had become sullen.
"Did you find someone?" I asked.
"No, I didn't find anyone who heard the knocking. Everyone said they didn't know where they went." Di Zizhen shook his head.
Zhou Lang rubbed the back of his head and spat in remorse.
"What kind of information?" We all looked at Qi Bojian.
"Cut the crap and get to the point!" Di Zizhen prompted.
"Do you know there was a girl who died two years ago on our campus?" asked Qi Bojian with a serious look on his face.
"What happened?" asked Shi Yitong.
"She jumped off the girl's dorm from the balcony of the sixth floor." Qi Bojian turned around, pointing at the dorm building in the distance. We could see it from where we stood. The girl's dorm was one-floor higher than the boy's dorm.
The hair on the back of my neck prickled with fear. I felt my blood freeze. The look on the others' faces told me they felt the same.
"What should we do? I feel this event has developed far out of our control." Shi Yitong said his voice pitched with concern.
It seems we didn't lose all our victims. However, to our surprise, when we arrived at the Chinese Language Department, something had already happened.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people?" By the time we reached the stairs, we were blocked outside the classroom. For some reason, many students stood in front of the door. Some were chatting, and a few were trying to squeeze in.
"What's happening inside?" Di Zizhen forced his way through the crowd before he saw a few male students banging on the door.

Chris Brown Released by French Police Following Alleged Sexual Assault
By Anna Rumer - January 22, 2019 07:23 pm EST
Chris Brown was released from French police custody Tuesday without being charged after being detained on rape accusations earlier in the day, according to the Associated Press.
The singer, 29, and two other people, reported to be Brown's bodyguard and friend, were released at around 10 p.m. local time, and the Paris prosecutor's office said the investigation is ongoing.
Shortly before being released, Brown made his feelings about the allegations known on Instagram, posting an image featuring the text, "This B— Lyin'" and the caption, "I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP (sic)! NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!! FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISPRESPECTFUL (sic) AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!!"
Brown was initially detained after a 24-year-old woman claimed he assaulted her and raped her on the night of Jan. 15 at Le Crystal and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, as first reported by TMZ.
The performer has a long list of legal infractions over the last decade, many of which have featured violence against woman.
In February 2009, he pleaded guilty to an assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna, for which he was sentenced to five years of probation and 1,400 hours of community service and counseling.
In 2017, Brown's former girlfriend Karrueche Tran was granted a permanent restraining order against him after she claimed he had punched her, pushed her down stairs and threatened her.
In 2012, Brown violated his restraining order taken out by Rihanna, attending a party where she was, later throwing a chair at a window in anger after being asked about the incident by Good Morning America interviewer Robin Roberts.
In 2013, he was arrested for felony assault in Washington D.C. after he and his bodyguard were involved in a fight with two men outside of a hotel, later having that charge reduced to misdemeanor and spending just 36 hours in jail. That same year, his probation was revoked after an alleged hit-and-run in Los Angeles and ejected from a rehab facility after exhibiting violent behavior. He was subsequently sentenced to three months at an anger management center.
In March 2014, he was arrested again after being removed from a court-mandated facility, being sent to jail in May and sentenced to 131 days on probation violation.
After being released early in June 2014, he had his probation revoked in January after he violated the terms by leaving Los Angeles County to perform at a night club where five people were shot during a fight.
In August 2016, he was arrested on suspicion of assault after a standoff with police with a deadly weapon after a woman alleged he had threatened her. In July 2018, Brown was arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida, on a felony battery warrant.

Idaho State avenges prior losses to UND, advances to championship
RENO, Nev. -- Something had to give. The University of North Dakota and Idaho State entered the Big Sky Conference women's basketball as the two hottest teams in the league.

RENO, Nev. -- Something had to give.
The University of North Dakota and Idaho State entered the Big Sky Conference women's basketball as the two hottest teams in the league.
Idaho State, however, wasn't about to budge -- on the perimeter or in the paint. And the Bengals weren't about to lose to UND for a third time this season. Idaho State, strong from start to finish, downed UND 69-54 on Friday in the semifinal round of the Big Sky tournament.
UND's impressive late-season streak and bid for a second NCAA Tournament berth in three seasons, came to an end. The Hawks (18-13) had won 13 of their previous 14 games before falling to the No. 9-seeded Bengals, who upset top-seeded Montana State on Wednesday.
Idaho State (18-14) now has won eight of its past 10 games heading into today's title game at the Reno Events Center with a berth in the NCAA Tournament on the line.
"It was a tough game for us," said UND coach Travis Brewster. "Really have to credit Idaho State. They came out and took it to us right away. From start to finish, they did a good job of pushing the tempo.
"We came out flat and battled back. But they answered every time we had a run."
In a physical game with few whistles, Idaho State did something few teams were able to do against UND this season. The Bengals outrebounded UND 48-38 and held the Hawks to 27 percent shooting.
Idaho State's defense was rock solid on the perimeter and inside, rarely allowing UND uncontested shots.
"North Dakota is a really physical team," said Idaho State coach Seton Sobolewski. "We've had our butts kicked more than a few times by North Dakota. Rebounding was a strong point of emphasis for us. We had to play hard and be at our best to beat them.
"To me, it's a shame that this was a semifinal game because you could say we're one of the hottest teams right now and so is North Dakota. It almost felt like it would be a good matchup for a championship game."
UND opened a 4-0 lead, but Idaho State dominated the rest of the first quarter, which ended with the Bengals leading 21-11. Apiphany Woods (15 points) and Freya Newton (14) helped the Bengals gain control early.
"We never recovered from that first quarter," said Brewster. "They did a tremendous job on the boards. They crashed and crashed and crashed. They outrebounded us by 10. And that's usually our M.O.
"We didn't take care of the ball on the glass and in key situations. They did a heck of a job of taking us out of our element a little bit."
Idaho State led 34-21 at halftime. UND had more jump to start the second half and pulled within 50-43 on a Leah Szabla (18 points) basket with 8:30 to play.
"Leah played a heck of a game," said Brewster. "She's one of the toughest competitors in the league.
UND's surge, however, didn't last long. Back-to-back baskets by Woods and Newton a couple of minutes later gave Idaho State a 57-44 lead. The Bengals then were out of any danger.
Samantha Roscoe (14) and Mia Loyd (10) also were in double figures for UND. Both agreed that Idaho State's strong first quarter turned out to be the difference.
"Their first quarter, first half kind of took us by surprise," said Roscoe.
And Idaho State's defense was impressive, added Loyd, who finished with another double-double (10 rebounds).
"They came out strong and didn't let up," said Loyd. "When we answered, they answered back. It came down to our defensive effort."
UND's season, however, may not be over.
UND's strong RPI (No. 91) likely will land the Hawks an invitation to the WNIT or the WBI. UND should find out if it makes one of the non-NCAA tournaments early next week.

Raees Review
Bollywood's Badshah Shahrukh Khan's latest outing Raees is a gangster story set in the 80s. The movie depicts the story of Raees Alam who starts from scratches to become a bootlegger running illegal alcohol empire. Enter ACP Majumdar, the perfect nemesis who wants to put a full stop to Raees and his business. The two try to outwit each other every time and what follows is an intense cat and mouse game. Who finally prevails forms the rest of the story.
The basic plot is straight out of the 80s movies but what sets Raees apart is the brilliant performances of the two lead actors- the entertaining Shahrukh Khan and the actor par excellence Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The slow paced narrative is a letdown in this commercial potboiler. There is no unexpected twists and surprises in the screenplay but that's somewhat made up with the terrific dialogue exchanges between the two actors.
Technically, Raees is top notch with excellent cinematography by the veteran KU Mohanan. The retro feel of the movie is ably complemented by the art department. A bit more chopping would have made the movie more compact, thereby avoiding the unwanted lag towards the end. The thumping background score by Ram Sampath perfectly elevated the mass quotient. Slick direction and good writing by Rahul Dholakia and his team is praiseworthy.
Coming to the performance side, the 51 year old Shah Rukh Khan is energetic as ever. His famed screen presence is on show once again as the actor is at his flamboyant best. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has the best dialogues in the movie. He is effortless as ACP Majumdar with his trademark wits and intense portrayal. Pakistani beauty Mahira Khan paired as the female lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan was seen in a typical Bollywood heroine mostly limited to a few here-and-there scenes and songs.
Only if the writing had more freshness and stayed original, Raees would have been a perfect star vehicle to set the cash registers ringing like never before. Nevertheless, the movie entertains. Riveting duel between SRK and Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the USP here.

THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS – original movie poster


The beginning of summer, 2007, I was tired of politics. How on earth could anyone be supporting a presidential candidate before you even knew anything about them, or who was running? I did some analyses of candidates early on (McCain, Giuliani, Romney), but eventually decided that until they were willing to make up their minds on topics, I'd not decide who to support. There can be a benefit to paying attention early, certainly, so that you know how much support they had early on, weird things they said, and issues in which their position flipped.
Now I have to accept that primaries are drawing near. The autumn drive to do something has come, more powerful at times than spring fever. Campaigning is on. Most of the candidates who will announce have announced, and those who are still on the fence are well-known enough to allow me to decide.
Are they anti-abortion? Do their values allign with mine?
Are they Christian? What kind of role does their faith play? Are they sincere?
What is their fiscal/tax policy?
Are they sane enough to understand the necessity for an international war on terror that does not involve surrender?
Have they read the Constitution?
Do they have executive governing skills, or would their services be better geared to legislative, judicial, or activist fields?
(I confess:) Do they have enough support to potentially win?
Though the last point still has me worried, I have come to a decision. Those most likely to win the Republican nomination are unacceptable to me, so I might as well do what I can, take responsibility, and promote a candidate whom I support. The man is Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas. Almost a direct opposite to another governor of Arkansas who became President, Huckabee has been married to his wife since she graduated high school. They have three kids. She's involved in community service on a massive level. Through potentially crippling cancer early in their marriage, Huckabee stuck by her. As governor, he cut taxes and worked with a Democrat-controlled legislature to pass pro-family, fiscally-responsible reforms in his state.
I've heard him speak, especially at the Values Voter debate which Jesse and Crystal live-blogged for us all. His rhetoric is good in content and presentation. He's winning, clear, and can get a lot of well-thought ideas into a short alotment of time.
He is anti-aborition, in fact originally beginning political involvement to combat abortion (legalized by Roe v. Wade within a decade of his high school graduation). I don't like his statement, "With respect to stem cells, I support federal funding of research using existing stem cell lines," because of more fiscal/constitutional reasons, that the Constitution makes it illegal to support even medical research with federal money. That's not why the federal government exists. In other values, he is right on, in no way supporting civil unions or the redefinition of marriage. He is a promoter of school choice.
Former Governor Huckabee is also a former pastor in a Baptist church, and remains active in his church. He has a statement declaring that his faith will affect his decisions, because it is part of who he is.
Fiscally, as I said, he is too much willing to use federal money on unconstitutional programs. However, his Fair Tax and healthcare ("It is time to recognize that jobs don't need health care, people do, and move from employer-based to consumer-based health care.") proposals make excellent and well-received economic sense.
Contary to a popular campaign position that says all we need to do is leave Iraq, Huckabee understands the global war that has been and is repeatedly being declared against the US. He has extensive statements on his plans for winning in Iraq and the world.
Hm. He seems to know that states have rights, probably from his governor days. Huckabee supports the Second Amendment, and believes in a Constitutional Amendment on the Right to Life. I wish he had read the Federalist Papers, too. Then again, our country is not ready for a revolutionary return to the strict boundaries set by the constitution. This candidate would be a huge step in the right direction.
He is a good speaker, as I said above.
Among the Republican Presidential Candidates, there are not many who really have the wide perspective and skills required to lead such an amazing nation as the fifty United States of America. To be commander in chief, a world figure, a leader of the American people, a political driver, and policy head, while still maintaining any sense of coherence, let alone values, is a huge job. Single-issue men or those who talk constantly of laws are not qualified to be president. Huckabee has been a governor, what's more a unique governor, uniting legislatures and the voting public to common goals. With the political reality in Washington, D.C. that the next president will almost certainly face, such experienced and successful leadership is a must.
Polls are showing remarkable support for a man who is not widely covered by the media or even supported by the major conservative talkshow hosts I listen to. Loyal New Yorker Sean Hannity is throwing his support so far behind socially-liberal Giuliani. Hugh Hewitt likes Romney. Others have been excited about Fred Thompson. None of those men has strong Christian faith and consistent social values. The people of America want answers and sincerity. They need leadership. The conservatives are tired of their elected leaders compromising, betraying their base, or not getting anything done. Huckabee is the solution.
1. Go to Huckabee's website and read his statements on the Issues. Also check out the Blog, which has a late-September entry on Huckabee's position on Foreign Policy.
2. Watch the Values Voter Debate. Analyze the candidates there. Analyze those who were not present, what their answers would have been, and why they didn't come. Which candidates are presidential material?
Even if you are not of voting age, you can have an influence on your parents and friends. At least get them to think about the issues raised here!
I am also willing to take challenges, questions, or suggestions about other candidates in the comment section. If this post or the links have made you think, speak up!

McElhanney Ltd. is a Western Canadian-based consulting firm that provides engineering, geomatics (surveying and mapping), geospatial, environmental, planning, and landscape architecture services. In operation since 1910, it is the oldest employee-owned engineering and geomatics firm in Canada, with its corporate headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company comprises over 1,000 employees based in over 25 locations across Western Canada and offices in Newfoundland and Labrador and Florida (USA) and serves cities, communities and parks, energy and resources, and transportation market sectors.

History
The company was founded in 1910 by William Gordon McElhanney who surveyed the wilds outside burgeoning Vancouver.
Between the 1920s to 1950s, the company saw success through significant projects such as the Lions Gate Bridge Alignment, Trans Mountain Pipeline, Kemano Tunnel Surveys & Hydro Power Tunnel, and the Stewart-Cassiar Highway projects, while navigating through hardship during the Great Depression (1929 to 1939). W.G. McElhanney retired in 1956, following completion of the firm's first international project, Survey of the Mekong River.

Following W.G. McElhanney's departure and after navigating through four more recessions (1980 to 1982, 1991, 2008, 2014), the firm split into three sister companies known as McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. (MCSL), McElhanney Legal Survey Limited (MLSL), and GeoSurveys in 1987.

MCSL continued to operate mainly as an engineering and geomatics firm serving the energy, transportation, and municipal markets throughout BC and in parts of Western Canada. MLSL operated mainly as a geomatics firm serving oil and gas clients in Alberta. MLSL changed its name to McElhanney Geomatics Engineering Ltd. (MGEL) in 2018. GeoSurveys closed in 1994.

Acquisition
McElhanney Ltd. was established in 2019, by an amalgamation between sister companies, McElhanney Geomatics Engineering Ltd. and McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd., which were separate companies since 1987.

About
McElhanney Ltd. is the primary operating company, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of The McElhanney Group Ltd. The company is employee-owned, with subsidiary companies.

ABUSING POWER
Judge Groped, Kissed Women Who Sought Help With Charges, DOJ Claims
Bobby Joe Smith, who's charged with bribery and civil-rights violations, allegedly solicited sexual favors from three women who had asked him for help with their traffic offenses.

A 77-year-old Georgia judge for years asked women for sexual favors and cash in exchange for lighter charges or sentences, the Justice Department announced on Thursday.
Bobby Joe Smith, who presided over county cases in the riverside town of Hartwell, is charged with one count of bribery and three counts of civil-rights violations in a federal indictment filed Thursday in the Middle District of Georgia.
One woman "met with Smith on multiple occasions in judicial chambers," where he told her that she would be on "private probation" with him and that he required "cash payments," the indictment claims.
Over the course of these meetings, he kissed her, groped her, and—while she was holding her young niece—put his hand down her pants and "made contact with her vagina," according to the court records. After these interactions, Smith reduced the charges against her, the indictment states.
Another woman, who was facing a driving under the influence charge, repeatedly went to Smith's office to check on her blood-test results. He allegedly told her "it sometimes takes a year for the tests to be completed due to the laboratory being backed up."
During these meetings, Smith kissed her and groped her, and "at least once, he attempted to put his hand underneath her shirt," according to the indictment. "On at least one other occasion, Smith exposed his penis to [her] and attempted to pull [her] hand down to touch his genitals," the complaint says. She pulled her hand away and resisted these attempts, according to the document.
"During these meetings, Smith locked the door to his judicial chambers, and sometimes Smith also blocked [her] from getting to the door," the indictment says.
Another woman, who was facing a speeding ticket, asked for the judge's help getting her charge reduced, and he called a different court, telling the clerk that she was his granddaughter, prosecutors allege.
Afterward, when the woman was leaving his office, he allegedly kissed her on the lips and tried to touch her breast. She pulled away, but he tightened his arm around her, the indictment claims. She allegedly said "no" and was able to escape his advances. She never returned to his office.
Her speeding ticket was later resolved by another judge.
"None of these three women consented to Smith's sexual advances," said a Justice Department press release.
Smith will appear in court on April 25.

You know how you can always tell how close someone has lived to a place by their reaction when you mention it?
Well if you mention Kansas and a person says, "that place has some fucked up politics"... you're talking to someone who's done some time here.
if they mention something about scenic rolling hills and perfect sunsets, they're one of those bizarre prairie hippies who haven't left.
everyone else raises eyebrows and says, "you survived the TORNADOES!" because apparently outside of Kansas that's our gig... we're known as the place where people are regularly whisked away by tornadoes like dorothy in the wizard of oz.
So just to clear the air! here's what the tornado situation really is here. I've lived in Kansas almost my whole life and have survived to tell about the struggle being real.
Once a month, on clear days, we hear the sirens being tested. you can hear them from inside a building.
2-3 times a year they go off for real and you're supposed to go to your basement. You have a TV, radio or tablet with you and check radar and look for funny looking hooks or different colors running together... it was funny, when we were in New York we heard lots of these tornado comments, and one night when we were there we did experience a storm and the entire radar was the same even green color. Our radar images in Kansas are so much more exciting. All kinds of reds yellows greens running into each other along lines and fronts, it's great.
Sometimes the weather forecasters will tell you a day in advance that there are storms coming that could produce tornados... if they do that, then the storm will not produce tornados. If they tell you there will be "light rain", then you're in for it. It'll rain, then the storm will escalate a bit, and at some point you'll look outside and say "well the sky is an odd shade of evil green today" and then the sirens go off.
We live northeast of the city. Heat over a city tends to dissipate tornados, which start up in the west and move our way, so it's never gotten to us.
ONCE in the four years since I bought this house, we moved from the outside of the basement to the inside center storage room that's isolated from all the windows. Just once though.
People who do not have basements go to the interior rooms of their houses, or official established tornado shelters, it's very common for apartment complexes and trailer parks to have a shelter.
I have seen rotational activity in a cloud. I have never seen a tornado.
If a tornado touches down, it can take out some houses or a neighborhood. But unlike hurricanes, they don't take out a whole city. Their destruction will be spotty, they'll take out every other house, it just depends on who's displeased Jesus that time around I guess. So you'd be able to go to a neighbors or something. Honestly, hurricanes sound much much scarier. Sure you get warned a week ahead of time, but where would you go?
All these fly-by-night migrant roof repair outfits descend on the city whenever there's a tornado to fix people's houses, and all these stories come out about how you can't trust them, but people look for a good deal and try anyway.
Don't get me wrong, I know there have been enormous tornados like the one in 2007 that was wider than Greensburg, destroyed the town and killed 11 people. And then there's Moore, Oklahoma that has had the awful luck of an F4 or above every 4-5 years. But those stories are rare, and away from the most populated urban areas a bit.
Tornadoes can be dangerous. But when I hear about other areas that have hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires, mudslides, or typhoons, I'd definitely rather deal with the occasional tornado. The sirens don't even phase you too much after you live here for a few years, you get used to the interesting weather.
Bravo!! Bravo!!! Fantastic post!!! As a fellow Kansan I can confirm this post is accurate!!!
I would rather deal with the "possibility" of a tornado than an earthquake or God forbid a tsunami (my fear is drowning in flood waters).....cuz yeah. Where the hell would you go?
I've lived in Kansas my entire life. I have never seen or been in a tornado. I've seen green skies, been in a microburst, experienced hail & high winds...but not an actual tornado.
I love Kansas. We have the best sunsets & amazing storm clouds! Plus when the sun comes up & hits on a field of golden wheat...it's beautiful!
I lived in a trailer park as a child. Tornadoes are my natural enemy. The only thing I've ever seen is the cloud left from a funnel cloud. It wasn't rotating, it just dangled like a ribbon, but very close to the ground and moving very fast.
I started first grade in Kansas City, Missouri (close?) and I have two exceedingly clear weather memories. 1. The summer was unbearable (this was 1954-55 - no air conditioning) and 2. The snow was amazingly beautiful. We lived near a huge hill (which was probably tiny but I was 5) and sledding down that hill was the most fun a person could ever have.
My mind knew she was going to say "where there are earthquakes" and I thought "Honey, you just had half your town wiped out by Hurricane Hugo!!"
But, what she really said was "So close to a volcano." Had I been drinking, it would have been a spit take.
Your premise is spot on!
My college was dead-center of an F5 in 1998; thankfully it was spring break and very few people were there. Cleaning up after it was an experience I'm not anxious to repeat. We lost a few buildings entirely, and several more were unusable into the next year.
ohmigod is that a mathman tornado icon? WIN!
Beware the notorious Mr. Glitch!
It was something of a debacle - less because of the tornado and more because of the terrible way the administration handled it - and I ended up out of there before the end of the next year.
Not much different than here. If someone were to mention they're from KS I would probably laugh about the tornadoes mostly just because I wouldn't want to SAY the thing about the politics because the worst thing would be if they said "What do you mean that's all awesome here!"
Tornadoes to me are scarier (one hit our barn when I was babysitting my siblings) just because they happen so fast. Hurricanes are bad, but I know I personally have the means to drive & leave the state if need be. Not true of everyone to be sure. The one hurricane I was in had weakened significantly before it hit where I was so we weren't particularly worried and it was just kind of windy and rained a lot.
I have lived in a high risk earthquake zone and now live near places that get tornadoes every few years (and we get the occasional earth rumble). I'll take my chances with tornadoes, even though our buildings are pretty resistant and our earthquakes are relatively small.
Right? People outside the midwest think they're so scary but they're just not a big deal. The worst part for me is keeping my cats calm because they think I'm taking them to the vet when they get put in the carrier. I was born in 1990, though, shortly after the really bad Hesston tornado in a town 20 minutes away, so I've always assumed that if I was going to get killed by a tornado it woulda taken me out in utero. My mom, on the other hand, has a weird storm phobia and always panicked and made us go to the basement over nothing.
I saw a baby tornado once! It was in 2007 or 2008 near Salina. I was trying to get home between storm bursts and had to pull over and wait for a tornado to pass across the highway at the next exit. It twisted up some of the signs but that was it. After it went past I waited then drove home on the totally undamaged road. The national guard did a training exercise that weekend and one of them told me they were pissed because she had to go find all the tents that got scattered.
Growing up in Wisconsin, I can remember spending maybe half a dozen evenings in the basement due to tornado warnings, which may have been merely my parents following the tornado sirens assiduously.
One year at summer camp we suddenly were all evacuated from the lake when a funnel cloud appeared over it; thankfully, while it dipped down, it never actually connected.
But my earliest memory is actually of a fully-fledged tornado trundling along parallel to our house, about a mile away. I remember very distinctly taking a bath, when my mom came in, swooped me up, wrapped me in a towel, and took me downstairs to see the tornado. It was such a novel experience that it stuck with me, and in later years I found I was about 2.5 years when it happened.


Demazi (stands for Development made easy)is taking the SaaS concept to the next level by enabling (or shall I say, attempting to?) SMBs to create their own software.
SMEs owners can log on to the website and key in the requirments they need from the software. Based on the requirements, the website will automatically generate the software code which the SME owner can run within 3 minutes.
Right from small financial calculators, tax planners, contact management to complex solutions like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the website is programmed to provide the input in matter of a few minutes.
The current implementation is just the baby step and the cynic in me says this "fit-a"ll" approach is far too dreamy, but that's what entrepreneurship is all about.
We will surely keep a tab on Demazi. Meanwhile, what do you think of this concept?
How feasible is it to build a scalable backend software that caters to all your needs? Salesforce's Force.com is a step in that direction, but is way too bloated.
37signals is simplifying the project management software, but a "fit-all" approach?
Demazi has been started by two ex-IIT KGP guys and are mentored under IIMA's iAccelrator programme.

Concerts Music Rap / Hip-hop
What can I say? The Diamond Mine Agency continued its reputation of acquiring some top notch acts and talent. The latest being Billboard's third top Artist of the Decade (2000's), Nelly.
Nelly exploded onto the scene in the early 2000's with his 3x platinum debut album Country Grammar. You must have been living under a rock if you hadn't heard one of his many hit songs playing multiple times a day on your local radio station.
Those same hits were in abundance last night. For even those who may not have been old enough back when Nelly was at the height of his relevance, they for sure would have a moment of "Oh Yaaaaa! I remember this song!"
No alcohol is permitted inside the performance area, but it didn't seem to put a damper on the partying. The crowd was electric for the entire set which lasted just over 1 hour.
The set list could be considered the greatest hits playlist. In-fact all the songs we love and came to see got played in that short time period. Songs like, Hot in Heere, Batter Up, E.I, Country Grammar and Dilemma, (which featured Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child), played to the crowd's delight. It seemed as though everyone in the room knew every word to the songs.
There were a few breaks during the show in which Nelly interacted with the crowd. This goes to show that he wasn't forgot about the fans that helped make him the big star he was 20 years ago and continues to be today.
At the end of the show Nelly did a small meet and greet. Some of his more diehard fans took the time to chat with him and snap some pictures and sign autographs.
Even though he might not be in the spot light like he once was, this show was nothing short of amazing. It brought back all those memories of songs we all listened to more than a few times growing up. I still have some of these on my currently throwback play lists right now!

The top 25 table tennis players in the world including Africa's champion – Aruna Quadri are at present in Doha, Qatar to compete at the prestigious ITTF World Tour tagged Qatar Open which serves off today.
World number one, China's Fan Zhendong and the most successful European star, Germany's Timo Boll are among the array of stars campaigning in the $300,000 prize money championship holding at the Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena in Doha.
Being one of the few ITTF tournaments using the knockout format, the top players are all aiming for ranking points as well as chances to qualify for the end-of-the-year World Tour grand finals.
Quadri and Italy-based Olajide Omotayo will be flying Nigeria's flag in the competition and already the Nigerians have been given a bye to the second round of the preliminary by the organizers based on their global rating.
With only the top 16 players seeded into the main draw (first round), Quadri ranked 26th in the world will have to begin his quest for glory from the second stage of the preliminary round to be sure of making it to the main draw.
Five events made up of singles and doubles for men and women as well as mixed doubles will be jostled for while Quadri and Omotayo will be campaigning in the men's singles as the continent flagbearers.
For Omotayo, the tournament would help to tune him up for the forthcoming World Championships holding in Budapest, Hungary. "It is clear that most of the players coming to Qatar are likely to be the possible opponents at the World Championships and coming to Qatar Open would help to assess them.
Also, it will also help to give direction to my training regime after the competition. I am eager to give my best with the hope to picking some ranking points in Qatar," Omotayo said.
Over 264 players made up of 167 men and 97 women across the globe will compete at the six-day championship which serves off with the two-day preliminary round.

All throughout the years, Magellans Cross has learned to blend with the development of the city. However, inside it, you will be traveling through time, when Christianity was very new on Cebu Island and where Spaniards once ruled its people.
The Magellan's Cross marked the site where the first Christian baptism was held.
More than 300 natives, including Queen Juana and Rajah Humabon, were baptized by a Spanish priest known as Father Pedro Valderama.
It used to be an open shrine, until the cross was slowly being chipped away by the natives, because of the wood's supposed healing powers. In order to protect it, a closed structure was built over it.
Magellans Cross is a very accessible tourist spot.
You can hail a cab from any point of the city, even from the airport. Cebuano taxi drivers know exactly where Magellan's Cross is so you will not have any trouble with them not knowing where to go. A lot of them are great conversonalists and can provide you excellent tidbits about Magellans Cross.
You will not miss it either, it is just located outside of Basilica del Santo Niño and across the main hall of the city.
If you are on a shoe-string budget, you can go for a jeepney ride that passes through the basilica or the city hall. Jeepneys are required to show sign boards of their routes, so you can instantly know which of them can give you a ride.
Magellans Cross is open to anyone and it is free to enter. However, if you're coming as a very large crowd, you may want to go in batches, since the place is quite small. The original cross is hidden underneath and one that is made of tindalo is erected in its place.
Long candles are sold for a few cents. There are plenty of vendors outside Magellan's Cross, so you don't need to look far. Don't forget to say an earnest prayer and be quiet.
The history of Magellan's Cross is written on tablets, which you can find inside. It will give you a much better idea about the history of the place and what it means to its people.
There are designated stops for jeepneys, so you cannot go wrong, taxi drivers also know where to go so it is all pretty easy.
Magellan's Cross is close to other interesting historical and religious sites, such as Fort San Pedro, Basilica del Sto. Niño and the Malacañang of the South, a former Customs office transformed into a presidential residence and office. Check them all out whilst you're here.
Pay attention to the people around you. A number of them might be thieves, so be on the lookout at all times. Make sure that your camera has a strap, so you can just wear it on your neck.

Bristol Hospital Selects Rendina to Develop Downtown Ambulatory Care Center
Jul 13, 2017 | Michelle Nadeau | Press Release
The intersection of Main Street and Riverside Avenue in downtown Bristol will be the future home of Bristol Hospital's 60,000-gross-square-foot Ambulatory Care Center (ACC).
After receiving proposals from developers around the country, Jupiter, Fla.-based Rendina Healthcare Real Estate was selected to be the hospital's partner to develop and manage the facility. The three-story ACC will be occupied by Bristol Hospital's Multi-Specialty Group, offering a range of services including endocrinology, rheumatology, urology, cardiology, and a diabetic center.
The project will be part of an overall revitalization of downtown Bristol, a process Rendina has successfully navigated for other clients. Intended to fit seamlessly into the city's vision for the new downtown, the ACC's design marries retail and medical with an inviting brick and glass façade – leveraging natural light and creating a welcoming atmosphere that includes a café located in the two-story atrium. Rendina expects to break ground in late 2017.
"Rendina has been outstanding to work with," said Bristol Mayor Ken Cockayne while speaking at a news conference in Bristol. "This has been nothing but a positive experience."
Richard Rendina
We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with Bristol Hospital and provide the community a modern healing facility. The hospital collaborated with our design team to come up with something that's not only patient-centered and efficient, but is true to the city's vision for a new downtown Bristol.

Biography of F. C. Bowman, D. V. S.
F. C. BOWMAN, D. V. S.
The veterinary surgeon occupies an important position in a rural community and Dr. F. C. Bowman, who is residing in Williamsburg, has a large practice in the surrounding country. His birth occurred in Maquoketa, Iowa, on the 13th of February, 1884, and his parents were S. H. and Katherine (Edelman) Bowman, natives respectively of Virginia and Pennsylvania. About 1850 they took up their residence in Jackson county, Iowa, and resided upon a farm there until the father retired and removed to Maquoketa. To them were born seven children, all of whom are living, our subject being the fifth in order of birth.
Dr. F. C. Bowman remained at home until he was twenty one years of age and then entered the Chicago Veterinary College, where he remained for three years, graduating therefrom in 1907 with the degree of D. V. S. He began practice in Dixon, Illinois, but did not remain there long, locating in Williamsburg, this county, on the loth of December, of that year. He has resided here ever since and as his thorough knowledge of his profession and his skill in the application of the principles of veterinary medicine and surgery have become better known his patronage has increased. He is widely recognized as an able practitioner and is prospering financially.
Dr. Bowman was married in 1909 to Mrs. Estella Spear, a native of this county, who had a son, Nathan, by her first marriage. Dr. and Mrs: Bowman have two children, Clyde and Katherine N.
Dr. Bowman is a democrat and takes a good citizen's interest in the affairs of government but has never desired to hold office. His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and he is at all times willing to cooperate with organizations seeking the good of the community. He has achieved a gratifying measure of professional and financial success for one of his years and his worth is acknowledged wherever he is known.


Aspartame, a common substitute for sugar, has been recognized as a potentially harmful substance that can destroy white matter in the brain. Aspartame exists in as many as 6000 products, and is estimated to have been consumed by 200 million people. The damage is due to by-products created upon ingestion, including formaldehyde. This is an example of the effect that the food we eat and substances they contain can have - in some cases, very extreme!
Naturalnews.com has released research that indicates that 11 hours of mindfulness meditation is enough to begin the reversal of this process - enough for the brain to actually begin reproducing white matter!

There is something very freeing about experimentation—the ability to fail without fear, and move on. At SVDS, we encourage experimenting as part of our agile practices.
The last week of August, I saw experimentation in action at AstroHackWeek 2016, which is billed as a week-long summer school, unconference, and hackathon. It is part of the Moore-Sloan Data Science initiative being sponsored by three universities: UC Berkeley, New York University, and the University of Washington.
While the first half of each day of AstroHackWeek was spent on more traditional lectures, I would like to focus on the "hacks." Operating as a form of hackathon, the hacks were well organized and structured.
The first day after lunch, everyone participating in the unconference stood up, introduced themselves, and either proposed a hack idea or mentioned some skills they had that others might find useful for their own hacks. While the event and attendees were rooted in astrophysics, everyone was encouraged to explore any idea they liked, which helped contribute to that atmosphere of being open to the unexpected.
Then, everyone simply self-organized and worked on whatever projects they found interesting. Each hack group ended their days by giving a short recap of what was accomplished, what failed to work, and calls for help. I want want to note that second piece—the encouragement to speak to what failed, or ask for help from others, created a very positive environment for trying new and difficult projects.
I found it striking how important having structure around the freeform process of proposing and working on "hacks" was to the success of the week.This rapid reassessment and evaluation of each of the hacks, and a deliberate calling out of what did not work and why reminded me of the daily standups in our agile data science projects at SVDS. During a project, we meet in the morning to quickly mention what happened yesterday, what is planned for today, and whether something is blocking progress.
The engagement from the whole group at the unconference was incredibly high—people stayed late every night, working at different locations (from bars to restaurants to nearby houses) to continue working on different hacks. Hacks ranged from projects like creating a "Made At AstroHackWeek" GitHub badge in ten minutes, to an analysis investigating exoplanet periods from sparse radial velocity measurements (this one is currently being written up for submission to a journal).
Experimentation is one of the engines that drives scientific inquiry. The rapid turnaround on hack projects throughout AstroHackWeek were of a different kind than is typical in academia, and felt more similar to an agile project. The freedom to fail, to iterate quickly, and the cross pollination of having researchers in different astrophysics disciplines made for a powerful and productive week.

King Herod had the cliff top fortress on Masada constructed between 37-31 BC as a refuge; it was necessary to devise an ingenious water system in order to make the fortress in anyway practical in the arid climate of the Judean Desert. The palace and fortress could have every possible amenity but without water it would be inhabitable.
Herod had a huge network of 12 cisterns on two levels dug out of the stone at the base of the mountain on the northwestern slope. During the winter rain water would collect here as it dripped and flowed down the side of Masada. However the rain water from Masada was not enough. Although there was insufficient rain water to gather from Masada, five times the amount of rainfall fell on the peaks of mountains which run from Jerusalem to Hebron. So they devised a system of catchment areas. When rainwater would flow down from this range of mountains into the desert it would often cause flashfloods near the Dead Sea. To the west of Masada a gorge was transformed into a dam to catch the flood water and the water was diverted through a system of aqueducts, using only gravity to bring the water to the cisterns on Masada's western side. The 12 cisterns were positioned so that when one filled up it would overflow into the next cistern. The cisterns were plastered so that the water could not be absorbed into the rock. Together the cisterns at the base of Masada could hold about 40,000m3.
The water would be transferred up to other cisterns on the top of Masada by donkeys and slaved to provide water for immediate use. Herod had a secret staircase and wall constructed so that enemies would not be able to see the water carriers as they fetched water from below. The cisterns were to preserve water during times of siege and to supply the king's swimming pools and baths with water as well as drinking water.
The court and entourage of King Herod needed an incredible amount of stored water considering they were on a mountain top in the middle of a dry desert. The cisterns were made so vast that they could hold enough water to supply 1,000 people with enough water for 10 years. When creating the cisterns the stone dug out of the space was used in the construction of the palaces and buildings on Masada. Herod would have been very proud of his achievement and the way he could manipulate nature to have enough water in the middle of a desert. Even if an enemy had destroyed Herod's aqueducts the people on Masada would already have their cisterns full of water.

A couple of months ago I decided to have a go at Lambic. If I'd known a bit more about it I would have planned it differently. I decided on Cherry Lambic which was the worst decision given the availability of Cherries at the time. I was able to get 6kg by going to 3 different shops. Also the cultures involved in Lambic beer will infect plastic fermenting bins, so I now have a dedicated Lambic bin.
The home-brewing method is more involved than a normal ale. One makes a Lambic beer, leaves it to ferment for two weeks and then racks it onto fruit and adds other cultures.The process takes 6 weeks in total to ferment the beer and then 4 weeks for it to condition. The process is a little different to how it is made in Belgium where I suspect they leave the lid off the fermenter to get natural yeast in there.
Just to be careful, I decided not to use a plastic barrel in case it got contaminated. Barrels are more expensive than fermentation bins and I'm not going to be making that much Lambic. This means that I had to bottle it. What a tedious job bottling beer is!
I have been fairly lucky to date with the brewing. The results have been drinkable with the best so far being the lager. This Lambic is not right. A friend informs me that it isn't dreadful but it doesn't have much in the way of cherry flavour. It is very gassy and the head just disappears. I'm marking this one as a fail and I suspect this weekend five litres of Cherry Lambic will be hurtling down the Chafford Hundred sewer system.
The recipe I was following in Hughes suggests putting the fruit in at the beginning of the first fermentation. As my fellow taster and I were discussed the impending doom of Britain yesterday, we started brewing another Lambic and I will rack it onto Raspberries in about 2 weeks time. I'm not sure that I can face bottling it.
