Q: Section own objects by touch in OpenGL I've got a few planes on my OpenGlSurfaceView. Now I want to detect whether a plane is touched. I found a few topics on stackoverflow and in other forums, but I don't know how to deal with them. Maybe anyone could help me.
My planes are all of that structure:
public SimplePlane() {
        float textureCoordinates[] = {
                0.0f, 1.0f, //
                1.0f, 1.0f, //
                0.0f, 0.0f, //
                1.0f, 0.0f, //
        };

        short[] indices = new short[] {
                0, 1,
                2, 1,
                3, 2 };

        float[] vertices = new float[] {
                -0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f,
                0.5f, -0.5f, 0.0f,
                -0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f,
                0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f };

        setIndices(indices);
        setVertices(vertices);
        setTextureCoordinates(textureCoordinates);
    }

I've got an own class for all my Meshes, so SimplePlane extends Mesh. Here you can see the draw method in the Mesh class:
public void draw(GL10 gl) {

        gl.glFrontFace(GL10.GL_CCW);
        gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_CULL_FACE);
        gl.glCullFace(GL10.GL_BACK);

        gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
        gl.glVertexPointer(3, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, verticesBuffer);
        gl.glColor4f(rgba[0], rgba[1], rgba[2], rgba[3]);
        if (colorBuffer != null) {
            gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
            gl.glColorPointer(4, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, colorBuffer);
        }

        if (mShouldLoadTexture) {
            loadGLTexture(gl);
            mShouldLoadTexture = false;
        }
        if (mTextureId != -1 && mTextureBuffer != null) {
            gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);
            gl.glEnableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);

            gl.glTexCoordPointer(2, GL10.GL_FLOAT, 0, mTextureBuffer);
            gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, mTextureId);
        }

        gl.glRotatef(rx, 1, 0, 0);
        gl.glRotatef(ry, 0, 1, 0);
        gl.glRotatef(rz, 0, 0, 1);

        gl.glTranslatef(x, y, z);

        gl.glDrawElements(GL10.GL_TRIANGLES, numOfIndices,
                GL10.GL_UNSIGNED_SHORT, indicesBuffer);
        gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
        if (mTextureId != -1 && mTextureBuffer != null) {
            gl.glDisableClientState(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
        }

        gl.glDisable(GL10.GL_CULL_FACE);
    }

And that the onDrawFrame Method of my Renderer:
public void onDrawFrame(GL10 gl) {
        gl.glClearColor(_red, _green, _blue, 0.0f);
        gl.glClear(GL10.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL10.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

        GLU.gluLookAt(gl, 0,0,0,    0,0,0,   0,0,0);

        gl.glLoadIdentity();
        gl.glRotatef(_ry, 0f, 1f, 0f);

        root.draw(gl);  // a group of meshes

    }

But now I don't know how I can start to detect a touch of my plane. I read much about color picking or ray picking, but I don't know where I should start in my code to implement it.

A: First get the point where the user touched on screen using myGLSurfaceView.setOnTouchListener(new MyOnTouchListener()) (where myOnTouchListener implements OnTouchListener).
Then you need to get the MatrixGrabber, MatrixStack, MatrixTracking classes from the API demo's (C:\android-sdk\samples\android-7\ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis\graphics\spritetext).
Next, to use the MatrixGrabber, first attach it as a wrapper to your GLSurfaceView:
public class GraphicsEngine extends Activity {
protected GLSurfaceView mGLView;
protected GraphicsRenderer graphicsRenderer;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.graphics);

        graphicsRenderer = new GraphicsRenderer(this);

        mGLView = (GLSurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.graphics_glsurfaceview1);

        // ------
        // THIS BIT HERE
        mGLView.setGLWrapper(new GLSurfaceView.GLWrapper() {
        public GL wrap(GL gl) {
            return new MatrixTrackingGL(gl);
        }});
        // ------

        mGLView.setEGLConfigChooser(true);
        mGLView.setRenderer(graphicsRenderer);

}

Then you can get the matrices needed for GLU.gluUnProject(). This last method gives you a 3D point on the near-plane (i.e. z = near-plane) where the user touched. You can create a ray using it and the camera 'eye' point, and then detect which objects in your 3D world the ray intersected to get which objects the user picked*:
    MatrixGrabber matrixGrabber = new MatrixGrabber();
    matrixGrabber.getCurrentModelView(gl);
    matrixGrabber.getCurrentProjection(gl);

    float[] vector = new float[4];

    // x and y come from the x/y you get from the OnTouchListener.
    // OpenGL works from the bottom left corner, so flip the y
    GLU.gluUnProject(x, mGLView.getHeight()-y, 0.9f, matrixGrabber.mModelView, 0, matrixGrabber.mProjection, 0, new int[]{mGLView.getTop(),mGLView.getLeft(),mGLView.getWidth(),mGLView.getHeight()}, 0, vector, 0);

    Vector3f pickPosition = new Vector3f();
            if(vector[3]!=0){
                pickPosition.x = vector[0] / vector[3];
                pickPosition.y = vector[1] / vector[3];
                pickPosition.z = vector[2] / vector[3];
            }

*This last code snippet I'm not 100% certain works, but the real solution will look something like it
Edit: updated the last code snippet

Gallery is a Classic Rock Experience. We do things a little different. We play a "unique blend" of classic rock, which means your going to hear songs that no other local cover band is doing. At least, not the way we do!
Although we play alot of the "big hits" that other bands are playing, we try to focus on some of the "deep cuts" that you dont hear as often. This allows us to have a very wide range of music.


An important first step in buying a home is to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan. There is a difference between getting pre-qualified for a loan and getting pre-approved for a loan. A pre-qualificaton is a conversation with a lender and based upon that conversation the lender tells you what you would qualify for. A pre-approval means you have given the lender financial information and your documents have been processed and you are pre-approved for the loan. A pre-approval carries much more value than a pre-qualification, expecially when competing with other buyers. A pre-approval lets a seller know you are approved and ready to purchase a home and that you wont have to scramble at the last minute to gather lender information to get your loan in order.

23.07.2019 | The damage caused by corruption-related crimes in Ararat region in the first half of 2019 has increased by 7 times
In the first half of 2019, under the supervision or guidance of prosecutors of the prosecutor's office of the Ararat region, in the investigation department of the Ararat region and subordinate units of the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia there were 33 criminal cases of a corruption nature initiated during this period.
On the territory of the region, there is a great deal of assistance by the population in the fight against corruption. This is evidenced by the fact that during the first 6 months of this year, 28 or 84% of criminal cases were initiated on the basis of reports from individuals or legal entities, 4 or 12% by an inquiry body, investigator, prosecutor, court, judge as a result of exercising their powers , and 1 - based on media publications.
The detected corruption cases were registered in the field of local self-government - 18 cases, in the field of social security - 5 cases, in the field of education - 4 cases, in the field of health care - 2 cases, in the sphere of public probation service - 2 cases, in the sphere of the criminal executive service and in other areas - on 1 occasion.
During the same period, 60 criminal cases of a corruption nature were considered in the production of criminal prosecution bodies instead of 16 in the same period last year, which indicates a sharp increase in the detection of corruption cases and, as a result, an increase in the workload of the criminal prosecution bodies. In these 60 cases, 22 people were prosecuted, instead of 1 in the same period last year.
Criminal prosecution has been initiated against the head of the Getazat community and the employee of the municipality, community leaders of Jrahovit, Surenavan, the community leader of Argavand and the former community leader, the Poqr Vedi community leader, and the officer of the community kindergarten , former Arevabuir community leader and a village administration official , the head of the Berkanush community and librarian , Director and Accountant of CJSC Masis Medical Center, Director and Accountant of Azatavan CJSC, Director, director, former director and employee of the primary school of the community Paruyr Sevak, director and employee of the main school of Dalar community, a doctor at the Armavir penal institution, specialist of the Masis Territorial Agency for Social Assistance.

Unfortunately, you didn't say exactly what happens when you try to change your desktop wallpaper back, but my guess is that after you change it to what you want, it gets changed back by some unknown force. Also, what "something" did you do after right-clicking on your home page? Without knowing more details about the problem, all I can suggest is that you run virus/adware/spyware scans. The following are links to some free scanners: AVG Antivirus: http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/1/ Ad-aware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com Spybot: Search and Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html Be sure to update each program before you scan with it.
Reboot and hit F-8 to enter safe mode. If this restarts with video, use the restore feature and restore to any day before the problem began.
I suspect you can use your computer fine, that the only thing that's changed is the "wallpaper", the picture on your desktop. If this is true, right click on a blank area of the desktop (space without icons or menus) and click on "Properties". That should bring up a window to change the background. There is a list of pictures which on my computer syas "Select a background picture or HTML document as Wallpaper:". Select one, and then hit OK. You should now have a picture on your desktop. My reasoning is that there is a command in Internet Explorer, if you right click on a picture and select "Set as Background". Whatever image you clicked on will now become your desktop wallpaper. If you click on a blank image (used frequently in websites) or a very small image, then the desktop will appear blank. If the problem is more than just the picture, follow the other answers given. Good luck.
How do I get cloud on my desktop?
My daughter did something to my computer and now about half of the icons on my desktop are HUGE! I adjusted the screen resolution and that didn't help. How can I fix this?
Waa, I just pressed something while typing that made the explorer page take up the whole screen and now my toolbars are missing. how do i go back?
MY CAT WAS SITTING ON MY KEYBOARD AND NOW EVERYTHING IS UPSIDE DOWN. EVEN THE MOUSE WHEN I GO 2 THE RIGHT IT GOES TO THE LEFT . HOW DO I FIX IT?
What is your desktop picture on your computer right now?
When I copy and paste a picture into a Word file or an article I am copying has a picture all I get is a small square with an X in it. How do I get the picture.
I have incredimail. all of a sudden one of my friends that has it too cannot get my mail but i can get hers. i can get her mail on Internet Explorer but not incredimail. and my sister's mail comes to me with encoding or something weird.
My DVD/CD burner just stopped reading blank DVDs as DVDs. Instead the icon at My Computer says it's a DVD drive then I put in a blank DVD and it reads it as a CD. I always burn on this thing. So, I just bought a new one, and...same exact problem.

Kelsick is a hamlet in the civil parish of Dundraw in Cumbria, United Kingdom. It is located approximately  southeast of Abbeytown,  northwest of Dundraw, and  west of Carlisle, Cumbria's county town. Kelsick is accessed by two side-roads off the B5302 road, which runs between Silloth and Wigton.

Etymology
The name Kelsick is believed to be derived from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "a spring" or "a well".

History
On 7 July 1942, a Miles Master aircraft from RAF Annan crashed near Kelsick, with the loss of one life. A second occupant of the aircraft was able to successfully bail out before the crash. A rescue party from nearby RAF Kirkbride was assembled, but boggy ground, excess water, and fading light led to the attempt being called off. An engine from the aircraft was recovered in 1976.

In 1990, a pond at Kelsick was restored by local conservationists.

Amenities
Allerdale Borough Council provides refuse collection, street lighting, and other services to residents of Kelsick. Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire provides a bus service, the number 400, which runs near to Kelsick along the B5302 road. The bus runs approximately every two hours from Monday to Saturday between Silloth and Carlisle. The nearest railway station is at Wigton, approximately  to the southeast. The nearest primary school, Holme Cultram Abbey school, is located in Abbeytown, and the nearest secondary school, The Nelson Thomlinson School, is in Wigton.

Climate
Kelsick, like the rest of the Solway Plain, has an oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb), with mild summers and winters which generally avoid extremes of temperature. At nearby Abbeytown, average daytime high temperatures were  in summer and  in winter, with average overnight lows of  in the summer months and  in the winter. Rainfall is fairly consistent throughout the year, with approximately 15 days a month where measurable rainfall occurs.

U.S. Supreme Court: North Carolina May Not Tax New York-Based Trust
A trust is a common estate-planning tool where a person–usually known as the grantor or settlor–transfers assets to a trustee. The trustee is then legally obligated to administer the trust property on behalf of one or more beneficiaries named by the settlor in the trust documents. The trust typically also contains language indicating which state's law should apply to its interpretation and enforcement.
Trustee's "Exclusive Control" Deprives State of Taxing Authority Over Beneficiary
The U.S. Supreme Court recently addressed the question of whether one state can legally tax the income generated by a trust created and subject to the laws of another state. As it so happened, the trust in this case is based here in New York. The State of North Carolina taxed the New York trust's income, arguing it was subject to that state's jurisdiction because one of the beneficiaries lived there.
Here is some more background on the case, North Carolina Department of Revenue v. The Kimberly Rice Kaestner 1992 Family Trust. Joseph Lee Rice III created the Trust about 30 years ago. His three children were the named beneficiaries of the trust. Rice, who lived in New York, said New York law would govern the trust, and he named another New Yorker to serve as trustee. The trust documents further granted the trustee "absolute discretion" to decide when and how to distribute the trust's assets to Rice's children.
In 1997 one of Rice's children, Kimberly Rice Kaestner, moved to North Carolina. Some time later, the trustee divided the trust into three smaller subtrusts, one of which was for the benefit of Kaestner and her children. This division did not affect the terms of the original trust, meaning it was still governed by New York law and the trustee retained "exclusive control" over all distributions.
North Carolina law imposes a tax on trust income that "is for the benefit of" a North Carolina resident. Relying on this law, the state's Department of Revenue slapped the trust with a $1.3 million tax bill, representing tax on the "full proceeds" accumulated by the Kaestner subtrust from 2005 to 2008. The trustee paid the tax bill under protest, then promptly filed a lawsuit, arguing North Carolina had no authority to tax a New York-based trust.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed. In a June 21, 2019, opinion, the Court held the "presence of in-state beneficiaries alone does not empower a State to tax trust income" under these circumstances. Writing for the Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor explained that in this case, the money in the subtrust was still under the exclusive control of the New York trustee. Kaestner and her children did not receive any distributions from the trust during the 2005-2008 period at issue. Indeed, the trust made it clear the beneficiaries had no right to "control, possess, or enjoy" the trust assets absent the trustee's exercise of discretion.
Get Trust Advice from a New York Estate Planning Attorney
Only a few states tax trust income based on the residency of a beneficiary. But this is just one of many potential legal issues that may arise in the administration of a trust. This is why you should always consult with an experienced Westchester County trust lawyer when creating or revising a trust. Contact Meyer & Spencer, PC, today if you need advice or assistance with a trust or any other estate planning matter.

Can you trigger it's ability even if your opponent doesn't control any characters?
It doesn't say "if able," so I think not. You can't just use the Temple to sacrifice one of your own green guys with no further effect.
You're targeting the player though. You can "Choose an opponent" regardless of whether they control a character or not.
1) Action is initiated After a player initiates an action, the timing window starts.
For the initiation stage of any player action, a player must go through the following sub steps, in order. The first step is always revealing the card or declaring the intent to use an ability.
a) Determine the cost (to either play the card or pay for the card's effect) or costs (if multiple costs are necessary for the intended action).
b ) Check play restrictions, including verification and designation of applicable targets or cards to be effected.
d) Apply any other active modifiers (including reducers) to the cost(s).
f) Play the card, or trigger the effect, and proceed to step two.
As such, because the opponent has no characters that can be sacrificed, you wouldn't be able to trigger it.
As for CotD, the issue I have with Temple is when it is compared with Khopesh, for obvious reason, and whilst Toughness and Invulnerable weaken Khopesh, the ability to target which character to hit with it is the big swing in it's favour for me. If your opponent can get a reasonable board out, or at least play disposable characters, Khopesh wins over Temple every time.
However, when combined with cards such as Sibilant Cry in a Serpent deck, then you can outpace most decks.
Likewise, Foul Induction and a steady supply of green Cultists feed the Temple admirably.
Yes you may sacrifice a character to Temple of R'lyeh even if your opponent has no character to sacrifice, since the direct effect of your sacrifice is to choose an opponent, which you can successfully do. The following contingent effect fails, but it is not required for the first part of the ability.
Also in regards to Khopesh, yes, targeted removal is better in many cases, but attachments have their issues as well. I.e. you put a Khopesh on your Innsmouth Troublemaker, and your opponent plays Pushed, Deep One Assault, Small Price to Pay, etc. Now you've just lost two cards that cost 3 resources to play for your opponents 1.
Imho, the key is that it's two separate sentences, so the targeting is successful if the first sentence can be fulfilled.
Oh, and the Temple is obviously great, especially in Cultist decks. It's one of the cards that can hurt you pretty bad if you don't have an event for support destruction (or some kind of protection from either support cards or sacrifice effects). At least it's a Location, making it more vulnerable and an invalid target for Flooded Vault.
Initiate of Dagon and Foul Induction make the Temple completely terrific. I mean, Foul Induction can get you, what, six in-faction cultists into play from your discard at one swoop? And presumably you Temple-sacrificed most of them in the first place!

Encyclopedia > Allied Control Council
Allied Control Council
The Allied Control Council was the name of a military occupation governing body of Germany in the aftermath of World War II; the members were the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union. France was later added with a vote but had no duties.
After the end of WW II on May 8, 1945 the provisional German Reich (Deutsche Reich) government under Karl Doenitz and Ludwig Graf Schwerin von Krosigk[?] was removed and the German government from then on until 1949 was handled by the Allied Control Council. The representatives were as follows: Marshal Georgi Zhukov, Fieldmarshal Bernard Montgomery, General Dwight Eisenhower and General Jean Joseph-Marie Gabriel Lattere de Tassigny[?].
The building in which the Allied Control Council was housed and from where it operated was called Alliierte Kontrollrats Geb�ude. It was situated in Berlin-Schoeneberg[?], Hauptstrasse[?], in the Kleist[?] Park. The ongoing Iron Curtain confrontations left the function of the Control Council, which was intended to govern as a united body, in limbo. After 1945, when the Soviet Union went its own way and cooperations between the Soviet Union and the other three of the Four Powers totally collapsed, the building stood empty. There was only one guard stationed out front. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and after the Soviet troops left Berlin in 1994, the Allied Control Council building was returned to Berlin city authorities.

Radcliffe & Maconie Show on Radio 2 has just played the Coope, Boyes & Simpson track "Now Is The Cool Of The Day", and announced that CB&S will be on their show on Tuesday 29 June. I have suggested that they encourage them to play "A Hill Of Little Shoes" - can you fix it Jude?
So to all MVs who have listened to the PA/CJ cover, check out the whole album.
The gig last week at Belper School was excellent good fun.
'Hill' drew the usual Oh!s when it was explained that 'that' Clive James had written the lyric, and CB&S also did a nice plug for PA/CJ's songwriting skills. They sang 'Hill' beautifully and all Pete's complex chords really seemed to make it stand out from their other material. I heard a few gulps at the end of the song and Lester Simpson yet again said what a splendid song it was.
Everything else they did was top class. As Ian says, check out the album, you won't be disappointed.
We had a chat with Georgina Boyes after the show and a longer one with Jim Boyes (Georgina was manning the CD desk and doing a brisk trade) who said that Pete had been really pleased with their treatment of 'Hill' and had suggested a couple more songs for them to do! Lovely - can't wait!
"A Hill Of Little Shoes" update.
Radcliffe & Maconie Show on Radio 2 on Tuesday 29 June did not feature the Coope, Boyes & Simpson a cappella version from the "as if" CD.
However, I am delighted to report that the audience was mesmerised by the live version that CB&S performed at the superb 20th anniversary celebration of the No Masters Co-operative on Friday 9 July at Victoria Hall, Saltaire (near Bradford). It was introduced as "a song by Pete Atkin and Clive James", which was greeted by a murmur of at least partial recognition, and seemed to be well received by the packed crowd, even though we were somewhat subdued by the heat and humidity of the night.
A triumph and, like Carole, I am looking forward to more covers of our heroes from CB&S.
Oh dear, I fear my NT technology disability will mean this goes to the entirely wrong place. But......The version of "Hill Of Little Shoes" on the new CD by Coope, Boyes and Simpson is both magnificent and heartbreaking. Who ever said that a great cover could never be made of an Atkin/James song?

But yes, C, B & S's must be the most sympathetic PA cover version ever. We should do more to raise awareness of the songs in today's musicmaking community.
The BBC (Radio) Music reviewer, Laura Barton, whom I presume to be that clever columnist who features now regularly in the pages of The Guardian, liked the CBS cover of A Hill of Little Shoes enough to quote from it.
Barry Coope, Jim Boyes and Lester Simpson are masters of close-harmony vocal work — the rather technical definition which describes the kind of heart-stirring group singing that has been one of the most recognisable characteristics of the English folk tradition. They have sung with the Waterson-Carthy clan, and with the National Theatre, as well as releasing their own recordings in the near-20 years of their career as a trio.
As If… is their first record for five years and it shows the measure of their talent — running from covers such as Robert Burns' The Slave's Lament to the deep, steady sadness of Clive James and Pete Atkins' A Hill of Little Shoes (sample lyric: "and every little shoe's a foot that never grew another day") to a closing answer to The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again (says Simpson: "They inspired me when I was at school, but now I have a more realistic view of the world").
There is further new material here, too, and it is this which proves the most intriguing — the politically-charged Under a Stone and the satirical twinge of The Emperor's New Clothes, to the close, warm, gentleness of Simpson's composition, Haven. Even on the newer tracks, As If… offers music that is rich and deep and rousing in its familiarity.
The misplacement of the apostrophe I attribute to the sub-editor's not knowing that Pete's surname, unlike the surnames of Burns and James, does not end with an "s". Or it may be an forgivable mistake arising from the fact that since the apostrophe correctly comes after the "s" in Burns' case, and would have been placed correctly after the "s" in James' case had James' name been placed after, rather than before, Arkin's, the Akins' – apostrophe after "s"- must be correct.
I think poor Pete is just condemned to having his name misspelt: I lent my next-door neighbour two of CJ's books which she loved and then today Pete's "Midnight Voices" compilation. "Ah, yes! He talks about Pete Aitkin in the Cambridge volume."
Bring me the head of Clete Atkames! And enough of this! The use of the unnecessary apostrophe has already been the subject of an Iranian comedian's sketch, brings distress to all right thinking pedants, and who is this Cliff Richard on rhythm Rolling Stone pop records? And what has happened to Bill Bailey?
Sloth being officially one of the seven deadly sins, I am ashamed to say that I have only just caught up with Coope Boyes and Simpson's cover of A Hill of Little Shoes. I am not ashamed to say that I was totally blown away by it. I had actually heard of them before, so I had an idea of what to expect, but the reality exceeded expectations. Just brilliant, and must be, as has been said already, the finest cover of a CJ/PA song ever.
Picture the scene – a very frosty Sunday night in Lancashire, where a small, but perfectly-formed audience has congregated in the small, but perfectly-formed Mellor Brook Community Centre. After a brilliant opening set by the excellent Tom Doughty (http://www.tomdoughty.com/), the headline act is Coope, Boyes and Simpson, singing mainly from their "as if" CD. So, I suspect quite a few people are for the first time exposed to the work of our heroes, through "A Hill Of Little Shoes". As is always the case with CB&S, full and appropriate credit was given to the writers, so some more people know of Pete and Clive's work – and "as if" CDs seemed to be selling. Needless to say, "A Hill Of Little Shoes" was performed impeccably and was well-received – contributing to a wonderful night of music.
I'd had my fingers crossed for CB&S at the Radio 2 Folk Awards (they were nominated in both the Best Group and Best Album categories, if you hadn't noticed - and even if you had), so as far as I'm concerned crossing your fingers is now a thoroughly discredited technique. I've had good results so far with always putting my left sock on first, but I can't avoid the feeling that disillusion lurks there too. But anyway, two nominations in two such major categories constitute a considerable achievement, worthy of large congratulations.
And by the way, Clive and I have been paid a further compliment by Belinda O'Hooley and Heidi Tidow, more compactly known as O'Hooley and Tidow, who have also learned the song and added it to their current setlist. They also operate under the No Masters banner. You can find them at (surprise surprise) www.ohooleyandtidow.com. Catch them if you can and give them all the encouragement they undoubtedly deserve.
It's some challenge to endure singing Pete's and Clive's song - and for reasons that are entirely to the writers' credit. There are some songs whose power can be too much for a performer to bear. It's good to hear that this song is entering the mainstream repertoire of some who have faced that challenge.
I entirely agree that CB&S's cover of HoLS is outstanding. Wondering why they chose to slightly truncate it though. Seems to end a bit suddenly.
But Naomi is right, the power of this piece is hard to understimate. My brother has made a copy of Winter Spring omitting the track as he finds it too upsetting to listen to.
Exactly: I was sitting next to Gerry at Buxton back in 1998 when Clive "sang" this on stage and there was a tear in at least one eye present.
I find the song difficult to listen to but I am pleased that it was written and covered by CB&S and that it is being discussed. And I do listen to a 3 versions that I own regularly.
I have evidence that I lost family in Treblinka and I know that I lost others, I just haven't found them yet. But I see my daughter, my neice and nephew and their friends and contemporaries now in their mid to late teens who did learn to tie their shoelaces and did grow tall and I am thankful that we have the freedom to write the song and discuss it.
The 3 versions are on Winter Spring, Live in Australia and the Coope Boyes & Simpson cover.
Shabbat shalom and peace be with you.
Perusing the site I came across the various YouTube clips.
The film accompanying the Hill of Little Shoes cover is harrowing - in fact, I found it very upsetting.
The caption at the end says it all; profoundly moving.

As 2012 comes to a close, I can't help looking back on the events of this last year. While things aren't perfect, I do feel that I am in a better place than I was this time last year. I have grown a lot, and I believe that this is a direct result of all the reading I've been doing. In 2012, I read all kinds of works, from fantasy to classics to Christian. The books that I read in 2012 contributed greatly to my growth as a writer, as a Christian, and as a citizen of the world.
The Christian books I read really rocked my 2012. I'd like to share the books that I feel helped to shape my 2012, and will hopefully launch me into a great 2013.
This book was a slap in the face and a shot in the arm. In his book, Francis Chan challenges Christians to take a hard look at their relationship with God. He addresses lukewarm Christianity (if there is such a thing), and he invites readers to see God for who he truly is: holy, eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, fair, and just. He invites readers to be genuinely awestruck when thinking of the God of the universe, and the fact that we can have relationship with him. He then goes on to encourage readers to do more. Christianity isn't about saying a prayer and going to church once a week thereafter. It is about a passionate pursuit of God and going wholeheartedly after his plan.
The most challenging statement in this book is this one: "Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd." Throughout the book Francis Chan challenges the reader to make Jesus everything — absolutely everything — whatever it may look like.
This book really challenged me because I fit the profile of a lukewarm Christian perfectly. Truth be told, I am probably still not as passionate as I should be. However, this book did a great job of showing me my condition and starting me on the path to a passionate relationship with God.
The Pursuit of God is like a lens that focuses the reader's attention on knowing and loving God. All of our attention should be focused on knowing God, apprehending God, seeing God. Early on Tozer states that we, too often, get caught up in "things" (perhaps Tozer was a minimalist) or even caught up in the good gifts that God gives. Tozer says that we must leave all the stuff behind and seek God wholeheartedly.
Steven Furtick encourages the reader to dream bigger, but start smaller. He urges the reader to get busy, even if it's in a small way, and look to God for the next step. He talks about miracles and about trusting God to lead you, but he also addresses hard topics, like when the miracle doesn't come.
For me, this book helped me to think differently about this phase of life. It offered encouragement during this time when it looks like nothing is happening for me. I have no idea what's happening, but God expects me to show up anyway. Another great quote: "He will do the showing if you will do the going." Greater reassured me that it's ok to not know what's going on, and that it is in these times that we need to trust God the most.
This was a hard one. The premise of this book is that you can live fully in the midst of the craziness of life. The secret lies in gratitude — giving thanks even when life is messed up.
Two things struck me really hard. First, ingratitude was the root of the first sin, and the fall of Lucifer before that. Lucifer wasn't happy with his angelic position. Instead, he wanted to be God and revolted. He led Eve to sin by planting a seed of ingratitude in her heart. Ann Voskamp argues that ingratitude is at the base of every sin.
Second, Ann Voskamp demonstrates the thanksgiving always precedes the miracle. This was so with the Lord's Supper, where Jesus gives thanks, breaks the bread, and then is crucified and raised from the dead. Similarly, when preparing to feed the multitudes with a few fishes and loaves, Jesus gives thanks first, and then the miraculous feeding takes place.
This book has challenged me to take my focus off all that is wrong with my life long enough to find what is right about my life. I have since started a gratitude journal, and like Ann Voskamp, I am on a mission to find 1,000 gifts from God in my own life.
Each of these books has challenged me in a different way. If you are looking for a challenge, pick up one of these books. Is there a book that has challenged you? I am looking to read 30 books in 2013, and I appreciate any recommendations. Please share in the comments.
Upon further reading, I learned that the wise men, or magi, traveled a great distance to see Jesus. Not only was their journey long, it was also very dangerous. Still, they came because they believed. When they found him, they gave precious gifts befitting a king.
What is our response to Jesus? Do we passionately and diligently seek him? What gifts do we offer him? The magi went on a long and dangerous journey to find Jesus so that they could worship him and offer their gifts — and they were pagan. Surely, we should show this kind of faith and devotion to Jesus.
In this busy holiday season, amid the shopping and the wrapping and the feasting, take time to seek him with the same passion that the wise men did. Go all out. Worship him as king, and live in his peace.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths.
The last few weeks have been difficult for my family. My grandmother became very ill and was confined to our home. She was battling breast cancer and started to have intense pain. It hurt to see her in so much pain. On December 4, 2012, she passed away.
When she passed we were immediately thrown into funeral preparations. We looked at caskets, flowers, and clothes. We sorted through pictures, wrote an obituary, and put together a funeral service. We moved through the tasks before us with heavy hearts and little sleep.
A week later, it still seems surreal. Sleep still doesn't come easy, but I suppose things are improving. I went back to work yesterday. Though I am going through the motions, my mind keeps coming back to the fact that she was just here. I was just giving her medicine. I was just washing her face. We miss her already, and it will be an adjustment going forward without her.
In honor of my grandma, I'd like to share some lessons I learned from her.
Be generous. My grandma was not a minimalist in any way. She had lots of stuff. But she was incredibly generous with her stuff. She gave clothes and jewelry away all the time. Though she had a lot, she didn't hold it tightly. Her hands were always open to give.
Money isn't everything. I remember when I was considering marrying my boyfriend at the time. He had no money. She told me that if I loved him, I should marry him — even if he didn't have any money. She said to trust the Lord. He could make a way for us and provide for us. We might have to work harder. We might have to go without some things. But if we trusted God, he would help. She encouraged me to follow my heart instead of chasing financial status.
Honor God and he will honor you. She said this to me regularly. She taught me not to be ashamed to tell people that I am a Christian and that I go to church. She taught me to honor God by serving him at my local church. She encouraged me to give God credit for what he has done — no matter who was listening. She lived out these principles, and she was incredibly blessed.
There are soooo many things I learned from my grandma. I learned about cooking and sewing and bargain shopping. I learned that "right is right." I could write for hours about her, but I will simply end by saying that my grandma was an amazing woman of God. We already miss her. But we know that she is with Jesus, and we rejoice because this separation is only temporary.

The spaceflight company Space Exploration Technologies, orSpaceX, launched the world's first commercial space capsule into orbit andreturned to Earth today in a huge leap forward for California-based company, privatespaceflight and NASA's plan to rely on such spacecraft in the future.
Enter the Dragon: On Dec. 8, 2010, SpaceX joined a realm previously only occupied by national space agencies when it launched the private Dragon spacecraft into orbit and returned it to Earth successfully. Here, NASA photographer Alan Ault snaps a photo of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket as it roars from a seaside launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida carrying the first Dragon space capsule.
What a View: SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets are two-stage rockets, with the second stage carrying the Dragon spacecraft in its nose cone. Here, a camera on the second stage shows the Earth far below as the rocket soared toward orbit. The first stage separated and fell into the Atlantic Ocean.
Flying Alone: Once the Dragon spacecraft was flying alone in space, it was time to record the view. This photo was released by SpaceX while Dragon was still in space. It shows the view from a camera mounted in the spacecraft's circular window.
Hang Time: SpaceX's first Dragon spacecraft dangles under its three main parachutes just before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean about 500 miles west of Mexico to complete its maiden test flight on Dec. 8, 2010. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the landing almost a bull's eye, with the Dragon capsule splashing down just 10 miles away from its target zone.
SPLASHDOWN! After completing two orbits around Earth, SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft splashed down as planned in the Pacific Ocean. Here, a recovery boat closes in on the private space capsule.
A Private Mission Control: While SpaceX launches spacecraft from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific (flights from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base are also planned), the company is based in Hawthorne, Calif., which is home to its version of Mission Control. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was at the company's mission control center for the launch.
Gumdrop Space Dragon: In the SpaceX hangar at Cape Canaveral, the Dragon spacecraft prepares for integration with the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. Visible at the base of the spacecraft is Dragon?s heat shield, made of PICA-X, the SpaceX manufactured variation on NASA's Phenolic Impregnated Carbon Ablator (PICA) heat shield material.
In the Dragon's Belly: Even when outfitted with the full cargo storage system,Dragon has plenty of room. Visiting NASA astronauts Cady Coleman and ScottKelly discuss spacecraft cargo operations with SpaceX engineers. Bothexperienced space travelers, Cady and Scott are scheduled for upcoming missionsto the International Space Station.
The Long View: Space's Dragon spacecraft fly on Falcon 9 rockets like this one shown in the company's hangar in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The rockets have two stages and rely on a liquid oxygen and kerosene propellant.
Astronaut Customers: When SpaceX sends unmanned Dragon cargo ships to the International Space Station, astronauts and cosmonauts will have to pluck the vehicle from space using the station's robotic arm and then unpack it. They may even eventually ride into space on a seven-person version of Dragon, which SpaceX is also planning. Here, visiting astronauts Akihiko Hoshide from Japan, and NASA astronaut Sunita Williams in front of the full size Dragon model spacecraft.
Ocean Splashdown Test: Before SpaceX's successful Dec. 8, 2010 launch of a Dragon capsule into space, the company dropped one into the Pacific ocean to practice recovery operations. Here one of three recovery boats approaches Dragon spacecraft after it has completed its descent as seen by SpaceX photographer Chris Thompson.
Dry Land Again: This photo shows how SpaceX removes Dragon spacecraft from its recovery ship to return it to dry land. Eventually, SpaceX may choose to reuse Dragon capsules, instead of flying them once like all other space capsules flown to date. This photo, taken by SpaceX's Chris Thompson, shows the Dragon capsule after its August 2010 splashdown tests.

32 Nights | SUN-KISSED SERENADE
About Miami, Florida
You will visit the following 15 places:
Cabo San Lucas, commonly called Cabo in American English, is a city at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Cabo San Lucas together with San José del Cabo is known as Los Cabos. Cabo is a varied destination that captures the essence of Baja Peninsula in its many resorts, championship golf courses, world-class dining and amazing outdoor activities. The city also houses a range of wildlife including rays, sharks, birds like eagles and a range of fish like mahi-mahi (dorado) and stripe marlin. For much of its history, Cabo was a sleepy, remote fishing port which was generally accessed either by ship or a three-hour drive from La Paz. In 1977, the airport to the north of San Jose del Cabo was expanded to handle jet aircraft and international flights, thereby launching the transformation of Cabo into one of the most popular resort destinations in Mexico.
Honolulu, on Oahu's south shore, is the main gateway to Hawaii and a major gateway into the United States. The city is a major hub for international business, military defense, as well as famously being host to a diverse variety of east-west and Pacific culture, cuisine, and traditions.
