Hi Victor,
just heard about the BeaglePilot Project. Nice work!
We're following a similar approach here at PenguPilot:
Cheers, Tobias
Hey Tobias!
Thanks for reaching out. PenguPilot looks really nice!
It seems you guys are doing a great work :).
How about joining paths?. We should definitely push together a common project. BeaglePilot is building over ArduPilot and it is being pushed by some of the core-developers of ardupilot (with all their expertise) and companies such as 3DR, Google and BeagleBoard. According to what I've read it seems both PenguPilot and BeaglePilot share many key objectives. We are quite active at drones-discuss Google Group. Feel free to reach me, we can discuss further discuss this matter.
Hello Victor,
PenguPilot has the goal to be platform-independent through some hardware abstractions. We managed to fly vehicles based on the Rapsberry PI, the Gumstix Overo and the Odroid U3 board (Quad-core quad-rotor; yeah!).
Some of the device drivers (GPS, remote control, ADC's) are not part of the main controller process (autopilot) but use ZeroMQ / Protobuf / MessagePack for IPC, similar to ROS.
I will definitely check your project and source code in detail :-)
Nice work! Tobias
Hi Tobias,
Although BeaglePilot has started with the BeagleBone, eventually we want to create a platform-independent Linux autopilot as well. It's true however that at the time we're focused on BeagleBone-based boards.
Odroid U3 seems promising. Too bad it's not open hardware.
BTW: here you can see our system flying. 200Hz control loop, 1GHz Cortex A8, ~20% CPU load.

The system uses GPS + ultrasonic position control in this flight.
Cheers, Tobias

We demonstrate how the symmetric convolution-multiplication property of the discrete trigonometric transforms can be applied to problems in image reconstruction. This property allows for linear filtering of degraded images by means of point-by-point multiplication in the transform domain of trigonometric transforms. Specifically, in the transform domain of a type II discrete cosine transform, there is an asymptotically optimum energy compaction near d.c. for highly correlated images, which has advantages in reconstructing images with high-frequency noise. The symmetric convolution-multiplication property allows for scalar representations in the transform-domain space of discrete trigonometric transforms for linear reconstruction filters such as the Wiener filter. An analysis of the scalar Wiener filter's performance in the trigonometric transform domain is given.

Apple's recycling schemes recover millions of dollars worth of materials.
Apple recovered 28,000 tonnes of material for reuse, including almost a tonne of gold, from old computers and mobile phones last year.
In its Environmental Responsibility Report 2016 the technology company said it had recovered 61m lbs of steel, aluminum, copper, cobalt, silver, gold and other materials via take-back initiatives and recycling collection events.
The amount of gold recovered alone is worth more than $40m at current prices, with the silver worth around $1.7m.
Other materials recovered (lbs):
Steel 23,101,000
Plastics 13,422,360
Glass 11,945,680
Aluminum 4,518,200
Copper 2,953,360
Colbalt 189,544
Nickel 39,672
Lead 44,080
Zinc 130,036
Tin 4,408
Silver 6,612
Gold 2,204
Source: Apple Environmental Responsibility Report 2016
Apple said that last year it used recycling programmes to collect almost 90m lbs of e-waste, and had stopped more than 597m lbs of equipment going to landfill since 1994.
The company has created an experimental line of robots, called Liam, operating in California and the Netherlands, which can take apart and sort the components of 1.2m phones every year. Apple said there was an opportunity to improve on current recycling techniques which recover a limited number of materials, often of lesser quality.
The report also outlined how the company is dealing with issues including water conservation and protecting forests.
Apple said the electricity used to make its products was the biggest proportion of its carbon footprint. The company said that last year it created a programme of partnering with suppliers to assess their energy use and find ways to reduce it. This included measures such as replacing inefficient heating and lighting and recovering waste heat.
Apple added that it had identified the opportunity for annual savings of more than $32m via energy audits at supplier facilities in China, Taiwan and Japan last year.
Suppliers have cut more than 18m kilowatt hours of electricity from improvements, avoiding 13,800 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, the report said.
The company said it was also working to develop and procure renewable energy in its supply chain, building a 170 megawatt solar project in Inner Mongolia, to begin offsetting its manufacturing emissions. It is working with suppliers on projects to create more than four gigawatts of new clean energy worldwide.
The company is also prioritising aluminium that was smelted using hydroelectricity rather than fossil fuels to build its iPhones, and is also using scrap aluminium, cutting in half the carbon footprint of the aluminium enclosure of the iPhone 6s.

Teach your child the Underwear Rule and help protect them from abuse. It's a simple way that parents can help keep children safe from sexual abuse – without using scary words or even mentioning sex.
PANTS is a really easy way for you to explain the Underwear Rule to your child:
- Privates are private
- Always remember your body belongs to you
- No means no
- Talk about secrets that upset you
- Speak up, someone can help
Privates are private
Be clear with your child that the parts of their body covered by underwear are private.
Explain to your child that no one should ask to see or touch their private parts or ask them to look at or touch anyone else's.
Sometimes doctors, nurses or family members might have to. Explain that this is OK, but that those people should always explain why, and ask your child if it's OK first.
Always remember your body belongs to you
Let your child know their body belongs to them, and no one else.
No one has the right to make them do anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. And if anyone tries, tell your child they have the right to say no.
Remind your child that they can always talk to you about anything which worries or upsets them
No means no
Make sure your child understands that they have the right to say "no" to unwanted touch – even to a family member or someone they know or love.
This shows that they're in control of their body and their feelings should be respected.
If a child feels confident to say no to their own family, they are more likely to say no to others.
Talk about secrets that upset you
Explain the differences between 'good' and 'bad' secrets.
Phrases like "it's our little secret" are an abuser's way of making a child feel worried, or scared to tell someone what is happening to them.
Good secrets can be things like surprise parties or presents for other people.
Bad secrets make you feel sad, worried or frightened.
Your child needs to feel able to speak up about secrets that worry them and confident that saying something won't get them into trouble.
Telling a secret will never hurt or worry anybody in your family or someone you know and love
Speak up, someone can help
Tell your child that if they ever feel sad, anxious or frightened they should talk to an adult they trust.
This doesn't have to be a family member. It can also be a teacher or a friend's parent – or even ChildLine.
Remind them that whatever the problem, it's not their fault and they will never get into trouble for speaking up.

- Description
In June, the NSPCC and Liverpool Safeguarding Children Board launched the PANTS campaign for the city. Talking PANTS is a simple way that parents can help keep their children safe from sexual abuse – without using scary words or even mentioning sex. The simple, age appropriate advice is helping parents to talk to their children about staying safe. To encourage even more parents to share these simple rules with their children, a new song and animation is now available which introduces 'Pantosaurus', the pant-wearing dinosaur.
We know that for many parents the idea of talking to their child about staying safe from sexual abuse can be overwhelming – and, although they know it's an important conversation to have, they just don't know how to go about it. They also worry about what's the appropriate age to start the conversations but evidence suggests that messages about staying safe are the most effective when taught to a child at an early age. This local campaign complements the NSPCC's Speak Out, Stay Safe programme which is aiming to visit every primary school in Liverpool advising children from age 4-11 years about how to stay safe from all forms of abuse.
PANTS is designed especially for 4-11 year-olds. The child-friendly language, colourful pictures and engaging characters makes it easy for parents to start the conversation with their child, sharing three key messages – that their body belongs to them, that they have the right to say no and to tell someone they trust if they're ever worried about anything. It's been adapted for use with children and parents with a mild/moderate learning disability and made into a short video for deaf/hard of hearing children and their families. There is additional guidance for foster carers and early years providers who may want to use it in pre-school settings. There is a PANTS school's resource for KS1 pupils and it's also been translated in several different languages.
We'd really appreciate you sharing the PANTS messages with families you come into contact with, either professionally or personally. All the materials are available to download, free of charge, from the NSPCC website:
If you would like to know more about the campaign, would like hard copy resources or to request an information session about how your organisation can promote PANTS, please contact:

The Little Rock was the first ship to bear the name of Little Rock, Arkansas. The only guided missile cruiser on display in the U.S. today, the USS Little Rock is the sole survivor of the U.S. Navy's World War II Cleveland class of light cruisers, the most abundant of all U.S. wartime cruisers (29 vessels total). Following the naming convention at the time, all cruisers were named for U.S. cities and towns.
The Little Rock made four cruises to the Mediterranean and two to the North Atlantic. She served with distinction as flagship for both the Second and Sixth fleets. Later converted to a guided missile cruiser. The Little Rock launched on August 27, 1944 and was commissioned on June 17, 1945 at the Cramp Shipbuilding Company in Philadelphia, Pa. The ship was then converted at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation in Camden, N.J., in 1960, decommissioned in November 1976, and joined the Buffalo Naval Park in 1977.
Today the Little Rock, the largest ship in the Buffalo Naval Park fleet, plays an active part in numerous educational and entertainment activities such as our overnight encampment programs, fundraisers and other corporate events.

The Sullivans is named in memory of five brothers who lost their lives during the Battle of the Solomon Islands in World War II (WWII), when their ship, The USS Juneau, sank in November 1942, killing 687 men in all. It is an excellent example of the Fletcher class, the largest and most important class of U.S. destroyers in WWII. These ships had a design speed of up to 38 knots, and the U.S. Navy commissioned 175 of them between 1942 and 1944. These versatile vessels served almost exclusively in the Pacific Theater (a series of battles in the Pacific Ocean), performing anti-submarine and anti-aircraft warfare as well as surface action. They could cover large distances and their armament included five, 5-inch guns in single mounts, with 10, 21-inch torpedoes in two quintuple-centerline mounts.
The Sullivans launched April 4, 1943 at Bethlehem Steel Corporation in San Francisco, Calif. The ship was commissioned on September 30, 1943, and served with distinction in WWII. It took part in intense combat in the Marshalls, Carolines, Mariannas, and Philippines, rescued many survivors from downed planes and damaged or sinking ships, and earned nine battle stars for her service. The Sullivans also served in the Korean War, the Cuban Blockade, and in the rescue efforts for the nuclear submarine, the USS Thresher. It was decommissioned in 1965 and joined the Buffalo Naval Park in 1977 along with the USS Little Rock.

The USS Croaker, a Gato-class submarine, was built as part of the effort to assemble a major submarine force just prior to and after the U.S. entry into World War II. The Croaker, named after the various species of fish that make throbbing or drumming noises, was sent to the Pacific to wage a war of attrition against Japan's merchant marine and Navy. The Croaker had six WWII pacific war patrols, was awarded three battle stars, and claimed 11 Japanese vessels, including a cruiser, four tankers, two freighters, an ammunition ship, two escort craft and a minesweeper.
The Croaker launched on December 19, 1943 and was commissioned on April 21, 1944 at the Electric Boat Company, in Groton, Conn. After WWII, the Croaker was converted and recommissioned as SSK-246 in December 1953 under the Hunter-Killer conversion program with a streamlined sail, snorkel, long-range sonar, and machinery noise reduction. Routine cruises were made to the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean until the submarine was placed out of service in 1968. The submarine then participated in various submarine operations as a Naval Reserve trainer from 1968 to 1971 until decommissioned from the Navy Register in December 1971.
Today the Croaker is part of the Buffalo Naval Park fleet, a role she has played since 1988.

1) I mentioned the other day that we sealed up some cracks under our stairs where cold air was seeping in. Since then I have been eagerly awaiting the (email) arrival of our power bill. Today it came. It was $128--down from $160 this same time last year. I am pleased. I had budgeted $150, so that's an extra $22 that can go straight to savings!
3) While we are spending time together in the evenings, watching TV or otherwise relaxing in the living room, sometimes I find that I am cold and no one else is. If I'm the only one who is cold, I heat up my favorite microwaveable flax seed heat pack and cover up with a blanket instead of cranking up the heat for the whole house.
4) This winter, I've tried to keep a closer eye on the thermostat. In general, we keep it set low, especially at night. On my way to bed, I try to remember to turn it down to 63 or lower, depending on how the house feels. I'm mostly concerned with our kids staying warm. Our bedrooms tend to be warmer than the rest of the house and we keep extra blankets on all of our beds, so if I don't turn it down, it sometimes gets uncomfortably warm at night. We can always turn it back up if we are cold the next morning... Or better yet, dry some clothes!
5) By late morning on a clear day, I usually notice that the house is warming up on its own. We have several windows that really catch the heat of the sun. On hot summer days, we keep our curtains shut and even hang special shade material over the hottest windows. In the winter, I am happy to let the extra heat in! (In fact, I should run around and open all the curtains right now!)
Some days, even in January, our thermostat stays set at 61 or 62, and the house will stay several degrees warmer than that, never tripping the heat to come on. I love those days! For those frigid days that run our bills up, however, there are two things I'd like to do:
1) Get a programmable thermostat (someday when we aren't on a spending freeze), perhaps even one that can be adjusted remotely
2) Thoroughly search along the edges of the house, find where cold air is getting in, and seal it out
A few years ago I sewed this draft snake (actually, it's a pair of draft snakes, but only one survived) out of a beat up pair of khaki pants and some rice. The long one is still in place under our sliding glass door, and now that we have laminate flooring instead of carpet it is even more instrumental in keeping the cold air at bay. We have eliminated most of the obvious drafts, one way or another. But we truly need to pull our furniture out and check for problem areas along all of our exterior walls, then fix them with caulk, expanding foam, or something more creative if necessary. This would be an excellent little project for a chilly evening. We will get it done soon!

At my workplace, Windows 7 machines are being rolled out, and users are not being granted administrative privileges. My department creates applications that run locally on the user's machine, and those are working normally (as far as we've seen). One application, on the other hand, does not.
It's the application that updates the others (our 'Update Agent'). So, when the user runs the Update Agent, they're immediately stopped with an error, since that application was not able to write to C:\Program Files\our app\
We need a way for these Windows 7 machines to allow this application to be run as administrator or with admin rights when the user executes them. Since these users will never be given the administrator password, 'Run As Administrator' is not an option. The user will need to click on shortcut, and it run with enough permissions to modify that folder, write to the registry, etc.
What I'm hoping for is some kind of GPO or policy or something that can be configured on the domain level that will allow this to occur; or, something configured on the client machines once. Our applications are .net Framework 1.1 and 2.0, and signed with a key.
Any insight would be appreciated.

The origin of Alternative HVAC Solutions was to be something different…more in line with what our customers were asking for and needed. We knew that to thrive in this market we needed to be something different than the traditional heating and air conditioning company….to not only service and install traditional HVAC equipment but to push the boundaries by becoming expert and offering newer more energy efficient products and technologies too. With technologies and products like:
- The Trane EarthWise™ Hybrid split system combines an electric heat pump with a variable speed gas or oil furnace for ultimate efficiency. With the flexibility of two fuels, the system can actually optimize your energy use by switching back and forth to whichever source is most efficient for your comfort.
- Ductless Split-Systems. These are great for zoning, allowing for homes and offices to be heated and cooled at the same time and for buildings that don't have existing ductwork or space for it to be added (Mitsubishi and Fujitsu).
- Heat Pumps….. great because one piece of equipment can simultaneously heat and cool using the buildings own environment to save energy and compressor speeds can be varied to maintain desired comfort levels (Mitsubishi, Daikin, Bryant, Fujitsu & Trane).
- Radiant Ceiling….terrific because the system is VERY responsive, is invisible, heats AND cools, stirs no air and creates no dust, is silent, and comfort is supreme (Messana I RayMagic). Perfect for Eichler and other open-beam architecture.
- Energy Efficiency...experts in providing the most energy efficient products and with our installations too

But of course others can imply their ideology in these effective promotional items as well. There are other dress accessories like belts and scarves, which can be effectively used as promotional items.
Few factors that must be kept in mind while choosing the promotional products from the manufacturers are quality, style, functionality and regularity of the products, be it a dress, a bag, or something else. And most obviously placing the brand name or logo attractively and appropriately on the promotional item.

The Fixer Upper
We bought a fixer upper. Yikes! Our home was built in 1913 and has been added onto several times since. The main structure is log. Not that you can tell, the only tip off is the depth of the window trim. I figured it out when I was doing a simple dryer vent job. I ended up having to drill a 4 inch hole through solid wood. Good thing I had hole saws and an extension. This house is pretty plain and dull, but it is bursting with potential. It will be a few years before we get to everything we want to do.
The First Project
We start with the living room and the entry way.
The trim is peach and the walls are cream. Not much in the way of contrast! The trim in this historic house is a simple 2 1/4 inch. The windows have no sill and are just boxed around with the same. The baseboard was laid flush to the sub-floor with the carpet butted against it. That leaves hardly any trim exposed. This is in contrast to the original trim upstairs that is 8 inches tall! We don't have the budget to install a truly accurate reproduction of trim like that, and we only have a few weeks to get the downstairs move in ready. We will build custom window sills and install 4 inch trim with a craftsman style fillet on top. We will go back later and add a crown molding on top.
Here is a look at the finished product.
We will be switching out those tired old single-pane windows in a project for another day.
This was our first project that we knocked out super-fast so we could get moved in. We did a skip trowel texture over the smooth wall and painted the living room green. In the next post we will look at the trowel and paint job that we did in the front entry. Until next time... happy renovating!

Getting To Know Stone Oak
By Stefanie Young
The Stone Oak and 10 West Business Associations are committed to creating a friendly network among its business members and the community. They provide a fun way to get to know the businesses that influence the community around them and give insight into the needs and demands of running a business, making changes for the better and expanding markets. Each month, the associations hold networking meetings open to both members and non-members, and every event offers a new and unique experience to those who attend.
SOBA and the 10 West Business Association kicked off the year in January with a combined speed-networking event at Canyon Springs Golf Club. Those in attendance used the opportunity to meet other like-minded businesses and make connections.
On March 20, 2014 the association hosted the first breakfast mixer of the year at The Egg and I. More than 50 people were in attendance and took part in the introductions, festivities and networking, all while enjoying a delicious meal.
"These breakfast events are unique and fun," Said Sierra Hernandez, an organizer for the event. "Everyone gets to start their day the right way, have breakfast while helping to grow their business."
This was just one event that the Stone Oak and 10 West Business Associations organized to provide their growing communities with networking opportunities and a free exchange of information as well as mutual support.
On April 24 SOBA held their 12th Annual business expo, as a fundraising opportunity to help the SOBA scholarship program benefit both Reagan and Johnson High School. The event took place on the Reagan High School campus and provided an opportunity for more than 60 local businesses to set up booths and market to the public.
"This is a regular event that has a good cause," said a SOBA representative. "The proceeds go to college scholarships for high school seniors, but everyone who attends has a good time. Our goal is to get the community to come out. Community businesses win by having a chance to market, students win by receiving scholarships, and parents win by learning of new opportunities that may assist them."
The Expo drew a variety of businesses (including both SOBA members and non-members alike) that all share the belief that marketing can support education. Many area restaurants provided free samples, while other businesses offered drawings and giveaways. Local businesses donated dozens of prizes that were raffled away to lucky winners throughout the evening, adding to the fun. By purchasing a booth at the expo, vendors contributed to making multiple student scholarships possible.
SOBA, taking into consideration the importance of correctly running a business, hosted a free three-part lecture informing guests about litigation dangers facing small business owners during its May breakfast mixer. The networking meeting and first half of the lecture took place on May 8th at The Egg & I on Sonterra Boulevard. Those in attendance received a complementary breakfast with coffee before Charles Vethan, founder of the Vethan Law Firm P.C., spoke about potential lawsuits facing small businesses.
"I think this was a fantastic meeting. A lot of business owners and decision makers were here, so the information presented benefits them, and it allows us to meet with them one on one," Vethan said. "Our law firm is a very specialized firm – we have a very narrow focus, focusing on aggressively growing businesses, and what SOBA had here today is ideal. It was a mutually beneficial breakfast, and hopefully we met some new friends."
The second half of the lecture took place on August 13th where Vethan picked up the discussion where he left off and spoke about establishing dispute resolution procedures before the need arises with the third discussion covering non-compete contracts and high management positions within a company on October 22nd. He also discussed how to keep the intellectual property of a business within the company.
After so much talk of business, SOBA decided to host a night of good company, delicious drinks and the sweet taste of Texas BBQ during the SOBA's Summer Rodeo on August 22. The event took place at Tejas Rodeo located on Obst Road, in Bulverde, and offered its guests a chance to converse and exchange contact information while enjoying live music and relaxing within an old-fashioned atmosphere. This event was a mixer that brought guests back to the original idea behind SOBA: networking. Mixers such as these help small business owners meet as many new people as possible and create new useful contacts.
With the business expo in April being overwhelmingly more successful than anticipated, SOBA welcomed the opportunity to help businesses once again and hosted a second expo in September at Johnson High School.
The event took place in the cafeteria and courtyard area where more than 60 businesses set up booths and tables to market to the public. The event drew a diverse group of businesses together for a chance to market to the public while supporting education in our community. Health services, communication enhancements, tutoring, construction groups, home and auto repair businesses, and restaurants showcased their goods and services with tastings and demonstrations.
Prizes were donated by the businesses participating and were raffled off throughout the event while guests enjoyed samples of good and giveaways at individual booths.
"The money that is raised goes toward scholarships for the kids and that's the important thing," Chickie from Independence Hill explained when asked what she enjoyed about participating in the event. "Of course it's always great when you make great connections and meet new people."
The Stone Oak Business Association is dedicated to providing the growing communities with networking opportunities, a free exchange of information as well as mutual support. The organization will continue to hold monthly networking events and look for new ways to bring its members together and provide fun, working opportunities for companies to become more involved in their business community.

iOS 11 Multitasking – Show them the way
With iOS 11 Apple added some superuser functions for the iPad, split screen interactions, drag and drop functionality etc. etc.. I welcome these changes because it makes the iPad feel more like a "for work" device. These features, though, often go unnoticed by casual or typical users.
The tips app that is built in is nice to help people, but we can do better than that. Let's take one experience iOS 11 introduced and changed. How can we add a signifier to improve multitasking for the typical user, you know like our moms?
How can we implement a signifier to the iOS multitasking feature to make it more accessible for casual users?
Affordances are the Key
"…the term affordance refers to the perceived and actual properties of the thing, primarily those fundamental properties that determine just how the thing could possibly be used. […] Affordances provide strong clues to the operations of things. Plates are for pushing. Knobs are for turning. Slots are for inserting things into. Balls are for throwing or bouncing. When affordances are taken advantage of, the user knows what to do just by looking: no picture, label, or instruction needed." (Norman 1988, p.9)
Basically a physical object implies its use by the physical properties that it has. Have you ever tried to use the blade end of a pair of scissors and cut things with the handle instead? Probably (and hopefully) not. This is because the end with the handle and its holes implies (or affords) its use. Affordance.
Signifiers Add Visibility to Affordances
But what about your iPad that has an unlimited amount of affordances, with no physical objects to guide your brain? iOS11 multitasking, for example, falls down in this respect because there is no way to know how to use certain features, or that they even exist, unless you are trained. iOS for years has been successful because its interaction design has been one that typical users could figure things out. Try to explain, without showing, to someone how to invoke split screen in iOS 11. It's difficult.
Enter signifiers. A signifier is anything that can help a user infer those affordances without a tutorial. We need to give our scissor blades orange grippy looking handles. iOS should somehow say "Psst, there's this great thing called multitasking and if you just [do this] the interface will [do that]." without actually saying it in words.
For the sake of my mom and yours let's add a signifier to the interaction shall we?
There is much to consider because the multitasking interaction can be very complex. But for the sake of this exercise let's look at how it works currently and one way a signifier can help.
A user has to:
- Swipe up to show the Dock.
- Tap and hold just long enough for the icon to lift off the dock
- Drag the icon over the active application
- If you to go into split screen; touch and drag down on the indicator at the top and voila
What can we do?
Let's keep all that, but add a simple popover on tap of app icon in the dock.
The popover can be as simple as this:
So the new interaction could look something like this:
In iOS 11 if you tap on the icon it simply opens that app in full screen. It is likely though that a user in this state really wants to put that app in a slip screen configuration. By adding the popover suggested above the user it put back in the driver seat without ever loosing their current context.
They simply:
- Swipe up to reveal the Dock
- Tap on an app icon
- Select configuration
Certainly this could seemingly get in the way of a user that does know what they are doing. But the beauty of this solution is that if you know what you are doing you'll rarely see it. If you prefer the current flow you can still touch and drag. If you do, this popover won't get in your way since it only would display on touch up inside interaction on the icon.
What I'd like to see:
- A continued effort to make the iPad more Pro
- Apple add signifiers to affordances for all features of iOS that make typical users able to use them

All Saints Sunday
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, you have knit your people together in one communion in the mystical body of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Grant us grace to follow your blessed saints in lives of faith and commitment, and to know the inexpressible joys you have prepared for those who love you, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Readings and Psalm
Revelation 7:9-17 The multitudes of heaven worship the Lamb
Psalm 34:1-10, 22
1 John 3:1-3 We are God's children
Matthew 5:1-16 Blessed are the poor in spirit
Title: Theme and Variation on Beatitudes
There is something about the beatitudes – those "Blessed are the"…statements that Jesus makes at the beginning of the sermon on the Mount as reported by Matthew, something about them that get my creative juices flowing. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Never too sure. But these simple yet profound sentences speak a world inverting truth that beg deeper exploration and that I find can be applied to different contexts.
For the first wedding I officiated at as an ordained pastor, the couple picked the beatitudes as their gospel reading. So as the focal point of my homily, I adapted them into beatitudes for a loving couple.
Of course there is that classic, irreverent scene from the Monty Python movie "Life of Brian" where we see some people attending that sermon on the mount who are stuck all the way in the back and can't quite hear what Jesus is saying. Blessed are the peacemakers is heard as Blessed are the cheesemakers. And a debate breaks out as to why these dairy workers should be specially treated.
So as we come to this familiar passage yet again, on this feast of All Saints, in a world overrun with disputing points of view, I can't help but come up with various discussions and adaptations. Please keep your bulletin with the real beatitudes close at hand so that wherever I may stray down a path of ridiculousness, you might keep Jesus' words before you.
First off, in the present day context, I can't help but imagine, similar to that scene in Life of Brian, someone sitting in the crowd listening to Jesus and, I don't know, maybe tweeting as our Lord is teaching. Jesus says:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And the response of today is:
What's wrong with the poor in spirit – they are just not trying hard enough
Jesus goes on:
4"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
The tweet: What's wrong with you who mourn – get over it.
5"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
The response: Don't be meek. Stand up for yourselves
6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Righteousness? What's righteousness? What's it gonna get you? Hunger and thirst for success.
7"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
The Merciful? You'll get stepped on.
8"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
The Pure in heart? You'll see only heart ache.
9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
You Peacemakers? You're wasting your time. You'll only be called failures.
10"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And as for the persecuted? Fight back. Take revenge. Don't let them see you as weak.
And so having had enough of Jesus' beatitudes, the modern voice takes to creating his or her own. What would they look like? Certainly not Jesus' power structure where the seeminglyweak lamb is the one who sits on the almighty and eternal throne and is worthy of praise. No, consider what our present reality teach us about blessings. Perhaps something like…
Blessed are the rich in privilege, theirs is the power to exploit.
Blessed are those who obliviously party hearty, they have the right idea.
Blessed are those who are cocky and out spoken, they will get ahead and win.
Blessed are those who are well fed on what the world has to offer, they can ignore the hungry.
Blessed are the rough and tough, they will claw their way to the top.
Blessed are those who manipulate the facts, they will persuade others to see it their way.
Blessed are those who strike hard at their opponents, they will win, whatever the cost.
Blessed are those who persecute the marginalized, and vilify scapegoats, they will recruit others to join the attack.
But this is not who we are and it is not who we are called to be as children of God, as sinners who are also saints – the holy ones of God, made new in baptism, fed at the table, walking in faith, renewed by grace and living in the eternal hope that is ours through Christ Jesus. The Spirit is not at work among us and through us for the sake of self service and earthly reward.
Let's go back to before Jesus even begins to speak those beatitudes. Jesus saw the crowd. He sees them (us) for who we are, where we are. Jesus looks on us with compassion and mercy, and teaches so that we will know the truth, God's truth. Not what the world tries to pass along as truth. He climbs up above us not to lord over us but so that all will see and hear, so that his message will be sounded out – loud and clear. And he speaks. First he tells us who we are, and encourages us beyond our brokenness:
We are poor in spirit – if we are opening our ears and our hearts to him then we have already admitted that we are in need, we are wounded. As some have said – we have a Jesus sized hole that needs to be filled. We become rich not by our doing, but by God's gift of the eternal kingdom that Jesus comes proclaiming and ushering us into.
We mourn – yet again this past week has shown us the violence of our world, right down the street from here, this time. History teaches us that revenge is not the answer, nor does it satisfy our desire or comfort us in anyway. God is our comfort. The hope that is ours in Christ is our comfort. A hope that anchors us through all storms. A hope that is ours even when we are not feeling its comfort and its peace.
We are meek – if we are wise, we will see that ultimately we are powerless. And thus we cannot take the earth. In our humility we see that God has given us all that there is, all that wee need. Our meekness leads us into wise and thankful stewardship, deeper gratitude, and more generous spirits.
Jesus follows this short analysis of who we are, with what we are called to be as children of God, as saints who are sinners.
We are called to hunger and thirst for righteousness – also known as a right relationship with God. Not just desire it or strive for it, but hunger and thirst for it, knowing that it will fill and satisfy us like nothing else will. God's gift of grace through faith that will satisfy us.
We are called to be merciful. Life teaches that this is one instance where it is more blessed to receive than to give; so wouldn't we want to give mercy to others so that they might know that blessing.
With pure hearts we see God is present. And as Jesus will teach as his last lesson in Matthew, we see the presence of God when we look with love on the other.
And we are called to be peacemakers. Not necessarily at the UN, or in some distant lands, but in our own lives, in our own families and circle of friends – through forgiveness, and patience, and understanding, we make peace, we are doing the work of God as God's children.
Finally, having heard who we are, and who we are called to be, Jesus delivers the "now a warning" statement. This broken and sinful world stands in opposition to all this. And the voices and the powers, will not be silenced easily or give up without a fight. Sometimes the worst persecution for living into God's blessings comes from the voices within us – voices that speak to us of unworthiness and shame. But nothing will take away what God is giving to us. And when, with the help of the Holy Spirit we live into this identity of saint, then we are being the salt and light this world to desperately needs.
So, loved by compassionate Jesus sitting among us teaching and leading, we embrace all that we are – saintly sinners and sinning saints. And following courageous Jesus, we strive for all that he is calling us to be. And in it all we will be blessed – keeping in mind that blessed in the Beatitudes can also be translated happy. For that is what God in Christ desires for all God's children, for all saints, our happiness, for our joy to be complete. How truly blessed we are.
The Rev. Mark Erson,

President Trump and Congressional Republicans plan to front-stab private equity later this morning, by unveiling a tax plan that multiple sources say will include a partial cut to corporate interest deductibility. But don't expect to hear any specific percentages, as it hasn't actually been worked out yet.
Why it matters: Private equity returns arguably are driven more by debt than by equity, given that buyout firms often finance the majority of an acquisition with bank loans.

Don't be afraid to consult with a car accident lawyer. They're on your side!
A car crash can have effects that are long-lasting. In some cases, individuals choose to forego their right for compensation for injury and financial damages because they feel the damage was actually not that bad.
In reality, it's hard for an average person to calculate the real damage caused by a car wreck. A automobile accident lawyer understands how the costs of an accident can add up, even long after the accident is a thing of the past. These professionals also make sure that their clients don't foot the bill for problems they didn't create.
The medical expenses associated with a car wreck can be downright frightening. Consider, for example, that a slight neck injury may turn into a debilitating condition over time. It may require physical therapy, medication and other treatments. Those treatments add up and, if you didn't cause the accident, there's no reason that you should be stuck paying for it. The person who slammed into you, or pulled out in front of you, can reasonably be expected to pay for the damages they cause. This is the business of accident attorneys and the way in which they help their clients.
You also may find yourself up against a powerful company, in some cases. Given the Interstate system in Texas and its being a hub to all other parts of the nation, there are plenty of car-vs-truck accidents to go around. When you get hit by one of these colossal vehicles, there is almost certainly a big company behind it who has more than enough resources to make your life unbearable. Good lawyers know how to take these companies on and understand how they try to intimidate everyday people. In cases such as these, representation is vital.
An accident lawyer can make sure that you're not given the run-around by those who legitimately owe you for the damages they've caused. There are plenty of ways in which an insurance company and other corporations can delay paying what they owe you. An attorney makes sure that, not only do they understand their obligations, but that they understand that those obligations need to be paid sooner rather than layer. Attorneys also make sure that those companies pay what they owe in full and that their clients don't end up suffering an insult in addition to the injuries they've already suffered.

Kate and James Blakeslee won't need directions to the venue the next time they hear their professional-musician son perform.
The New York-based Sam Blakeslee Quintet will perform at 7 p.m. Feb. 15 at the Clintonville Woman's Club, 3951 N. High St., where Kate Blakeslee heads the fundraising committee.
"It's convenient; we know where it is," she said.
Sam Blakeslee, 28, grew up in Clintonville and attended Columbus Alternative High School and the Fort Hayes Career Center. He went on to earn a bachelor's degree in jazz studies at Youngstown State University, followed by a master's degree in classical performance from the University of Akron.
Blakeslee was teaching music at Cuyahoga Community College when his wife, Alexandra, received an offer for a job in New York last year. He decided to see if he could make a go as a jazz musician and composer.
"A lot of it was, I was 28 and I had always wanted to move, but I was employed pretty much right out of school and that kept me in Ohio," Blakeslee said.
"The thing I love about my profession is while it takes some creativity to live well, I guess ... the other side of it is I wake up in the morning and have the ability to pursue anything in music that I want, which I am extremely grateful for."
Tickets for the performance are $10 for the show or $20 for admission and copy of his CD, "Selective Coverage," which came out in October.
Blakeslee said he was looking for a venue in his hometown and settled on the Clintonville Woman's Club after hearing Vaughn Wiester's Famous Jazz Orchestra perform there.
"The room sounds amazing," Blakeslee said. "I thought it would be good playing in the community I grew up in."
"I'm really thrilled about it," Kate Blakeslee said. "I think the club is a really great venue for music, for one thing, and he was looking for a venue that would be a good size for what he wanted to do."
Kate Blakeslee said her son exhibited a natural talent for music at a young age.
"I could tell early on," she said. "He started to play the piano when he was 6. He has always been very interested in music. He's played a number of instruments, but trombone is his favorite one."
"I'm not sure why," Sam Blakeslee said of the trombone, which he began playing while in the fourth grade. "I just gravitated to it. Most of the time, trombone players are just relegated to playing in a big band and that's it."
"He was an exceptional student," said Jeff McCargish, now in his 19th year teaching at Fort Hayes. "He performed on a lot of instruments, but it was in his senior year, as I recall, that he became really good at jazz and a very, very strong trombone player."
"I've always been a jazz fan," Kate Blakeslee said. "My husband, not so much, but he's coming around."
"While it may not be the most popular genre right now or for a while, in a live performance, if you're honest with what you're trying to present, it's positively received," Sam Blakeslee said. "When music yields a reaction, I think that's a very profound moment."

The problem looks actually like solved in 6.8.2. I roled packages from the SRPM
from fedora core 3 updates testing and the crash does not appear anymore. It
looks like the fix is to detect hardware that creates problems and fall back to
the indirect (slow) rendering. At least console messages say this. I would
consider it closed since the 6.8.2-1.EL.13.5 (that I cannot access because the
ftp server asks me to authenticate :-)) and the version from fedora core 3
updates testing are likely to be very similar
The xorg-x11 rpms are include and enable a different set of patches
for FC3/FC4/RHEL4. If the base 6.8.2 release contains a fix for
bugs in 6.8.1 or earlier, using any of our 6.8.2 builds will likely
solve a given issue. If an issue is fixed by a patch we apply
however, it may or may not be applied to specific builds.
As such, we need RHEL customers to test official RHEL builds for
bug fixes, as they're not the same as Fedora Core builds.
The 6.8.2-1.EL.13.5 rpms linked to above are publically accessible
via standard anonymous ftp, which I've just confirmed this myself.
Just to be sure there's no problem with external access, two people
in IRC confirmed the files are downloadable as well. If you're
having firewall problems, enabling or disabling "passive" mode
in your ftp client often works around them.
Hope this helps.
Sorry, my fault with the FTP.
I installed the packages and everything is OK. testgl finishes without crashing
and other applications (as openoffice.org-1.9.100-1, a RHEL4 version of FC4
packages, built with gcc/g++ 3.4 and gcj4/gij4 4.0.0-5) work very well.

We want all our customers to be happy and if you do have complaint over quality or damage to any items that you have received, we want to know about it. Free returns only apply to items that have been damaged or have quality issues, should you wish to return an item for any other reason, you will be charged based on the rate quoted by our courier for the collection and return.
DAMAGE - If damage has been caused while the product was in transit to you please keep hold of the item and all the packaging and inform us immediately, we will then be able to take the matter up with our courier and make sure a replacement is despatched to you. We may require photographs of the damage as proof for our couriers. The courier will be under instruction to collect the damaged item for return to us.

If any of the goods have been used, or are not available for collection, we will not be able to replace them.
Furniture Care and Maintenance
We go to great lengths to ensure that our furniture is of the highest quality. Natural wood characteristics such as small cracks appearing in the end grain due to change in temperature and humidity can occur. These may appear and disappear with the changing weather conditions. This will not affect the durability, serviceability or lifespan of your furniture and is completely normal.
Colour change, ie greying, will occur over time on unsealed timber. Any food or drink spills should be cleaned up immediately with a damp cloth. In order to avoid significant marking or staining of your furniture through use and also to maintain its original colour we recommend applying a sealer to the wood.
Folding chairs and other fixings should be checked regularly and may need tightening from time to time.
Parasols should not be left unattended when open, our parasol canopies are vented, but strong gusts of wind may cause damage to the main pole or spars. Fading of the colour of parasols over time is to be expected, this can be reduced by keeping the time the parasol is open to a minimum.

RURP stands for Realized Ultimate Reality Piton. They were the original thin piton for micro cracks. Today, they are very rarely used because Tomahawks and Peckers work so much better in most cases. These were used here and there until Charlie Porter place 30+ in a row on The Shield. That lead opened up the imagination of hard climbers for long, sustained and scary thing crack lines.
On 99 percent of walls, you don't need Black Diamond RURPS. I have only placed a handful in my life and they were usually on first ascents. If you are doing a hard aid route or a first ascent, bring a couple. Otherwise, the Moses Tomahawk and Black Diamond Pecker are much more effective. Tomahawks and Peckers are more secure, easier to clean, and can sometimes be used as clean aid placements.

The prompt for this week's 100 Word Challenge is:… but there was still enough light…
I've changed the tense to make it fit but hopefully it still works...
The Game
I remembered Mummy, are you proud of me? When you whispered our secret word, that was the start of the game and I ran.
My hiding place is the best, even Jack wouldn't be able to find me and he's the Champion.
I remembered what you said, "Don't come out until I find you, even if your legs get fizzy tingles."
Everything has gone quiet now, I'm getting hungry Mummy. I can see through my spy hole the room has gotten dark, but there is still enough light to see the handle start to turn.
Mummy have you found me?
Now it's your turn...what story would you write with your 100 words?

In Reply to: OUT IN THE BLUE posted by Yuri on October 24, 2006
: Dear experts,
: Is OUT IN THE BLUE only used to mean 'under the surface of the sea' and not 'on the surface':
: Bearded Scorpionfish can be found around the deeper coral blocks. With a little luck you can see Eagle Rays and Mantas cruising out in the blue.
: Thank you,
: Yuri
It generally means under the surface, when it's a question of the sea, and "out in the blue" in this meaning is not unusual. But something that often surfaced could be said to be "out in the blue" so long as it is an ocean creature, since "out in the blue" means "out in the ocean" or "out in the sea".
It can also be used in reference to the blue sky, the sky as it is when the sun is shining. "Out in the blue" can be used to mean "out there," somewhere "out in the wild blue yonder," out somewhere in the air (that is, the sky).
"Out OF the blue" also refers to blue as all the area suggested by the sky, namely, everywhere, anywhere, nowhere. THere is a lot of discussion of this term in the Archives. Type in "out of the blue" in the Search Box at the top of the previous page. It means "completely unexpected," as though "out of nowhere."

As of late, it has definitely been a great time to be an investor in Bovie Medical Corporation . The stock has moved higher by 20.9% in the past month, while it is also above its 20 Day SMA too. This combination of strong price performance and favorable technical, could suggest that the stock may be on the right path.
We certainly think that this might be the case, particularly if you consider BVX's recent earnings estimate revision activity. From this look, the company's future is quite favorable; as BVX has earned itself a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), meaning that its recent run may continue for a bit longer, and that this isn't the top for the in-focus company. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Most wanted person in Camarines Sur arrested for second time—CIDG
MANILA, Philippines—The most wanted person in Camarines Sur, who allegedly killed a government official in 1995 and was previously arrested in March last year, has been arrested again Saturday.
Police Director Samuel D. Pagdilao, Jr., CIDG chief, identified the suspect as Juanito Ona, 42, alias "Totoy Ona," and said in a statement released Tuesday that he was "listed as Camarines Sur's most wanted person with a DILG monetary reward of P175,000."
Ona was allegedly the gunman in the killing of Ernesto Tria, a regional director of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), at the Naga City airport in 1995, Police Senior Superintendent, Pedro B. Cabatingan, Jr. of the Legazpi City CIDG said in the statement.
Ona is also believed to be behind a number of armed robberies of buses and establishments, Pagdilao said.
He was previously arrested in March of 2011 through three warrants of arrest issued by local courts for two counts of murder and one count of robbery, he said.
Ona managed to walk free when the murder cases were dismissed and he posted bail for the robbery case.
He was arrested anew by virtue of "a warrant of arrest issued by Branch 76 of the Quezon City and Branch 23 of the Naga City Regional Trial Courts for murder and robbery, respectively," Pagdilao said.
"Subject is currently under detention/custody of BJMP Naga City awaiting transport by plane to Metro Manila and pending return of warrant of arrest to the issuing court," Cabatingan said.

PepsiCo Pivots as Commodity Prices Rise

Word Count: 5,163
What story I'm currently working on: Lol, massive slowdown this week, but due to reasons. I hit 34k on Forged Decisions, which is all sorts of fuck yeah! The story is hitting some bigger scenes, which I'm looking forward to tackling, but I had some super important interruptions. I should be back on track by next week.
What I'm editing/marketing: Well, well, well. My editor and I just pulled out an insane three day editing binge–three weeks of work crammed into that span, but Forged Alliances is ramping up and looking better than ever. My Steampunk with a Twist story is floating along, and I'm down to the last couple passes on it. I decided to start sprucing up an old YA winter fairytale as well, which should be awesome. I also got my critiques back on the first three chapters of my Asgard Lounge story, plus have been tweaking the synopsis and blurb. I will have the proposal package ready to send by next week. On an exciting front, the Airship Named Desire audio book is now available here!! OMG guys, it's so good.
Teaser of the week:
Line of the week:
Finn had tried to gradually fall for Raven over years of affection, touch, and time, but he knew deep in his gut, he'd never brushed the surface of what he should be feeling. However, with Navi, it was no quiet stream or gentle footsteps. He fell for her like the sudden drop of a cliff face, with the fury of the rapids, and with the bone deep awareness that this woman would be branded on his bones for the rest of his life.
