The same innovation and versatility as the U.S. Army's new M17 in a civilian version.
Night Sight Plate
Optic Ready PVD Slide with Removable Night Sight Plate
Manual Safety
After one of the most rigorous and highly competitive review processes in the history of military firearms, the SIG SAUER M17 was awarded the Modular Handgun System (MHS) contract for the U.S. Army. The M17 is a P320-based platform, and was selected for its uniquely innovative modularity, uncompromising performance, and unmatched capability. The P320-M17 closely follows the specifications of the U.S. Army's M17.
"It was truly an honor for SIG SAUER to be chosen as the U.S. Army's choice with the M17. When the selection was announced, civilian interest in the pistol was immediate," said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, SIG SAUER, Inc. "We are proud to bring this P320-M17 to the marketplace to meet the substantial civilian interest, and the high demand, to own the pistol the Army uses as well as the other branches of the U.S. Military."
The P320-M17 is a 9mm, striker-fired pistol and comes with two 17-round magazines. The pistol features a coyote-tan PVD coated stainless steel slide with the same optic cut as specified by the MHS contract, and black controls just like the pistols currently being shipped to the U.S. Army; it comes equipped with a SIGLITE front night sight and removable Night Sight rear plate. The P320-M17 features a coyote-tan carry-length grip module, available in three sizes, and comes standard with a manual safety.

Newbie excited & eager for help/info
Hello to all!
Ive finally happily registered here, after several weeks of following many threads that have been invaluable in providing a newbie like me so much helpful info. This forum has been like stumbling upon a gold mine for me, after months of online time spent searching for what I'm after.
A little background: A life-long avid backpacker, traveller, and tent camper, I'm now trying to find my way to adapting to (and adopting) the Class B RV approach to extending/prolonging my adventures in a way that can accommodate both my aging self, and my recently disabled wife. I'm actually still in pretty decent, active physical shape, and both my wife and I would still be enjoying tent camping if it weren't for the limitations of her disability. After doing without any camping or much outdoor travel for the past few years, and painfully missing it, it finally hit me that a small RV (Class B, as I came to understand) could put us back on the road.
Since that light bulb went off, I've devoted the past few months to researching the idea and trying to determine what models and features most appeal to me. The more modestly priced Roadtreks (Zion, Simplicity) and Winnebagos (Travato, G or K) have held most of my attention. I recently checked out a multi-dealer RV show in Sacramento, although I was disappointed in the small number of Class Bs on display there. I'm also determined not to exceed a total length of 21' (more preferably around 20), as both ease of driving and fuel economy are high priorities for me.
Also, just like a few others have expressed here, Ive been concerned and intimidated by the potential for the myriad technical problems, breakdowns, failures, etc. inherent in the complexity of most modern RV systems.
Then in the past week or so, another light bulb went off for me which has entirely redirected my thoughts toward a minimized RV style that I think could both appeal to my sense of camping aesthetics and avoid most, if not all, of the common technical complexity and associated challenges of modern luxury RVs. My purpose now is to seek the thoughts or advice of any other members who may have had experience with such an approach to RV-ing.
My line of thinking has gone something like this:
What if we did away with nearly all of the standard RV luxuries? - onboard propane, cooking, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, fresh, gray, and black water tanks, and reduced the RV to something closer to a tent-like camping experience.
Refrigerator - replaced by the use of a large ice chest, as Im so used to doing while tent camping. Ice is easily replaced as frequently as needed and has no power requirements.
Fresh water supply - can be carried and stored in the same refillable 5 gal. containers Im used to camping with. No pump/power or onboard storage tank requirement.
Cooking - on the same portable propane cartridge camp stove Im used to using in tent camping. I enjoy cooking outdoors on campsite picnic tables or my roll-up camp table, but the option of doing so on a counter in the RV would be great in bad weather.
For camp bathing, weve used wet-wipes and sponge baths to get us through until we can grab a motel once or twice a week while travel-camping. An onboard shower we could easily do without.
A toilet is one of the essentials that I would require, with regard to our particular needs. Ive just recently found info on the newer porta-potty and cassette toilet systems that sound very simple and convenient to me, especially considering that it might only need to serve the needs of one person (my disabled wife), as I am happy to use the facilities available in any campground.
Heating/air conditioning - were used to tent camping, where we accept whatever the weather brings. We have great warm down sleeping bags for the coldest nights, and open screened windows should provide as much natural cooling/ventilation as we can get. A fan might be helpful. I dont expect to do much camping in seasons or locales of climate extremes.
Beyond all of the preceding ideas, the most necessary and useful features would be a sofa/bed for my wife to rest on when needed, a table for dining use, etc., storage space, and LED lighting for night time convenience. And my hope is that eliminating so many of the standard features and luxuries of typical RVs on the market might also help lighten the vehicle, improve fuel economy, and provide added space for other simple gear we might want to carry.
Ive recently contacted the people at sportsmobile.com about having such an RV built for us, but if anyone here has any other suggestions, ideas, experiences, products or manufacturers to share with me, Id be most grateful to hear anything you have to share.
Thanks so much!

Sounds like camping with the tent on wheels. I guess it would be the ultimate KISS (Keep it simple stupid).
I had Sportsmobile build a KISS mobile for me but I did put other stuff in it that fit my expected usage. No propane, no generator, no stove. Check out this link.

If you have the money,
go for a Travato 59K.
It has 2 beds. Both are easy to access. (important for old folks like us).
What is luxury is another person's basic necessity,
you have to make the decision.
If you want to go basic,
you can simply go in a station wagon
or a minivan.
Many people do that.

That is certainly one way to go about it and the choice is yours.
Us? we like the conveniences and our 2000 Roadtrek is not technologically sophisticated. A simple 12 volt cheapo deep cycle battery, one 100 watt portable solar panel and all the appliances including 3way fridge, furnace, genny, etc. Most all of the stuff in the low end new and older class B vans is tried and true old tech. Ours still has the factory supplied furnace, water heater, genny, fridge, microwave and pretty much all of the fixtures. The only things replaced in 156k miles and 7 years has been the house A/C unit and the house water pump. If the stuff is maintained and used properly it's quite reliable.
It's also a lot nicer to have the conveniences so easy to use. Hot water for a shower?, flip the switch. Cold, hit up the thermostat for some heat. Easy and safe.
Dumping of holding tanks is really not a big deal and running water is very nice.
Happy hunting.

Your second light bulb seems to revert back to basics and more primitive equipment. The simplest and most logical end to this line of reasoning is an empty cargo van with an air mattress in the back and a cartridge commode. I recommend you rent a class b for a trip, and test it out for yourself. Time to pamper your wife!!!

That's a great thought, we started out for many years as tenters also, and as the years went on, we upgraded to a small pop up trailer, a little more comfortable, a few more luxuries, and we found it actually improved our camping experiences. For example, if the skies opened up and poured down rain, we still were able to enjoy ourselves without being soaked, all our gear stayed dry, as we got older, some of those little luxuries made it much more enjoyable. Our kids have all grown up, and really aren't interested in coming camping with us anymore, so we wanted to expand our camping and traveling to much more of North America, this is why we sold the pop up, and purchased a class B RV, I researched just like you for months to figure out what would work best for us, not just the lay out, but price wise also. These new machines are way out of our budget, and really having all that debt would take all the fun out of it for me. Really if we go back to our camping days, it was all about keeping it simple, and just enjoying ourselves, cooking our meals over a camp fire in some cool and remote location, that was the best. we can still have that with our 1997 Roadtrek 190, it was affordable, its easily fixable, and its a lot of fun. As for not having some the items, such as a refrigerator, or a stove, or a furnace, they are great to have, and I feel they make our trips much more enjoyable. We love to cook , and it sure is nice to wake up warm and dry, as we get older, maybe we need to be a little more pampered than our camping days, my thoughts would be to try a class B, maybe rent one for a weekend, and see what you think, I think you will really like what it has to offer, once you try it you wont want to back to the tenting days,,,,,,,take care,,,,,

Perhaps you really need to try how important is more camping comfort for you, you are the one to answer this question. B-class tend to be expensive to get into, just the way the NA market has settled, not EU for whatever reasons
. Perhaps an intermediate step is to get from a tent trailer to a fiberglass trailer, they offer a lot of accommodation for the price and you don't need a large pickup to tow it. If you like this level of comfort and still like to have a B-class than at least you are making this decision from the position of understanding what you want.
A small new Casita or Scamp or many others
will have at least the level of space as a 20' B-van. A trailer for $20-25K plus an SUV like, for example Audi Q3, or others will cost you total $60K with all accommodations you would get from a B-class van.
We were close to select a small trailer but decided ultimately on DIY van RV - but it was close.

I think you'd be giving up most of the B advantages.
we do use most of what you don;t think you'd use
in addition to the cooker we carry a butane cassette feu which we use to cook outdoors- some rvs have a quickconnect for the propane and outside burner kit
we don;t use our shower- either campground or if remote, many B's have an outdoor shower wand too also good for muddy boot, dogs and cleaning fish

It might be worth remembering that both of you are only getting older from this point forward. What seems today like a luxury that you can live without might not seem so a few years from now.
Part of the question, though, revolves around how handy you are, or plan to become (which hinges on the question of, do you enjoy that kind of work?). Yes, Class B systems require a lot of maintenance and repair. But if you handle most of that yourself, it becomes a lesser concern, especially because every time you respond to an issue, you can harden that part of the system, improving it well beyond OEM installation quality and making it less likely to fail in the future. My husband and I have been on that track for the past two-plus years now with our Class B. Functionally, it doesn't much resemble the then-7-year-old rig that we initially purchased in late 2014.
I, too, was an avid back country camper for decades. But getting older made me think in different terms. It's not just a matter of comfort - it's also lifestyle versatility, the ability to do some urban trips with stealth camping, the freedom to do long-distance road trips after decades of being held hostage by our wildly-dysfunctional air transportation infrastructure, the ability to run my small business out of our Class B for periods of time when the situation requires it. There are many things that simply cannot be done when one is based out of a tent or a tent-like construction.
I see a lot of folks on Instagram who are living out of minimalist vans such as you describe. Most of them are very young. I don't believe that's an accident. It's a lifestyle option that, as a fifty-something, I decided was indeed best left to the young.

I would not suggest a travel trailer.
Not when you are getting up there in age,
and with a disabled wife to look after.
A travel trailer is ok for younger folks,
but please, don't even think about it; it is a lot of work,
and a lot of hassle.
Unless you plan to tow it to one place and leave it there for the season.

AFN aspires, enable and collaborate along with its members and partners to build ACCESS for four pillars identified by its constituents to make ASEAN a vibrant fintech hub.
AFN - Pillars of ACCESS
The speed of innovation means both students and workers lack the skills to operate in this new environment. The forum will address how to better train new workers in school, as well as re-skill existing workers.
Fintech startups require a lot of capital, which can sometimes be difficult to get. The forum will find out how to improve startup access to the capital they need at each stage of their life cycle.
In order to succeed, Fintech startups eventually have to expand into global markets. Money20/20 and regional Fintech associations will capitalize on their experience, and discuss how best to give startups access to these markets.
ASEAN lacks access to deep technological skills, such as those found in Silicon Valley. These skills are critical if startups want to succeed globally, thus regional associations will consider ways to give startups greater access to such technological know-how.

Addressing an audience at George Mason University on the potential for the 2016 election to be rigged, MILO said that "we know lots of dead people will vote Democrat."
MILO explained America's long history of voter fraud, with the country having "gone through eras of political machines influencing elections in any way they could."
"We know lots of dead people vote. One of the Democrats most important tricks is to keep dead people on the voter registration rolls. They are amongst the democrats most loyal voter blocs. They must have welfare in heaven," he said.
He suggested that one of the most obvious cases of voter fraud was this year in the Democratic primaries, "where 100,000 voters suspected Bernie Sanders voters were removed from the electoral rolls," in an effort to fix the race in favour of Hillary Clinton.
"Bernie Sanders was defeated in a completely rigged primary. Hillary Clinton was the anointed nominee before it even started."
MILO also made reference to cases of left-wing voter fraud, such as when petitions to add Barack Obama to the 2008 primary had been forged, as well as this year's Austrian presidential election which is having to be re-run due to fraudulent activity favouring the pro-immigration candidate.
He also quoted the words of Barack Obama, who once famously said "vote early and vote often."

Looking for Organization Patterns of Highly Expressed Genes: Purine-Pyrimidine Composition of Precursor mRNAs
- 65 Downloads
- Citations
We analyzed precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) of 12 eukaryotic species. In each species, three groups of highly expressed genes, ribosomal proteins, heat shock proteins, and amino-acyl tRNA synthetases, were compared with a control group (randomly selected genes). The purine-pyrimidine (R-Y) composition of pre-mRNAs of the three targeted gene groups proved to differ significantly from the control. The exons of the three groups tested have higher purine contents and R-tract abundance and lower abundance of Y-tracts compared to the control (R-tract—tract of sequential purines with R n ≥ 5; Y-tract—tract of sequential pyrimidines with Y n ≥ 5). In species widely employing "intron definition" in the splicing process, the Y content of introns of the three targeted groups appeared to be higher compared to the control group. Furthermore, in all examined species, the introns of the targeted genes have a lower abundance of R-tracts compared to the control. We hypothesized that the R-Y composition of the targeted gene groups contributes to high rate and efficiency of both splicing and translation, in addition to the mRNA coding role. This is presumably achieved by (1) reducing the possibility of the formation of secondary structures in the mRNA, (2) using the R-tracts and R-biased sequences as exonic splicing enhancers, (3) lowering the amount of targets for pyrimidine tract binding protein in the exons, and (4) reducing the amount of target sequences for binding of serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins in the introns, thereby allowing SR proteins to bind to proper (exonic) targets.

EOG Resources released its quarterly update yesterday and trumpeted both its new Middle Bossier Shale test and an update of what it considers to be the sweet spots of the Haynesville Shale.
First, the Mid-Bossier test. The company revealed that its Sustainable Forests 5 #2-ALT well, which targeted the Mid-Bossier Shale, had an inital production rate of 13.1 MMcf/day and reached a vertical depth of 11,400 feet. EOG estimates that the well has an EUR of 8 Bcfe, which is as high or higher than the figures publicly cited for Haynesville wells. The well is located in the Trenton prospect in DeSoto Parish, where EOG says it has five rigs working. (NOTE: I can't find a Sustainable Forests 5 #2-ALT well. I think it actually might just be #2 (w/o "ALT), located in the Ten Mile Bayou Field of DeSoto, Sec. 5/Township 11/Range 12, serial #240171, and is classified as a "non-unitized Haynesville stray.")
Second, the company touted its definition of the "sweet spots" on both the Texas and Louisiana sides. I don't doubt EOG's interpretation of the Texas sweet spot, but the blue circle is curiously drawn around a high concentration of EOG leases. Hmmmm.

Surrounded by the verdant forests of Central Bulgaria and caressed by crisp mountain breezes, Karashka is an ideal chic and cheap vacation rental off the beaten path. This delicately restored old house from 1921 sits within a tiny neighborhood of ten houses at an altitude of 500m, offering majestic views of Stara Planina.
Authentic and sincere, the house brims with a gentle rustic character. The owners were careful to use only natural materials such as stone, clay, and wood during restoration, and preserved the stone roof that is a beautiful representation of the spirit of 19th century Bulgarian architecture.
We love the subtle narrative of this house that invites guests to discover the local culture through artisanal pottery, folkloric textiles, and its structure itself, made of local materials and Bulgarian savoir-faire.

Travel Destination: Seattle
July 21, 2010Posted by on
This is the post on the second stop on my vacation: Seattle
Seattle has some very nice attractions that doesn't get much national attention, plus really good package deals on ticket prices.
The first day there we went down to the waterfront and I must say that Seattle has done a real nice job, its clean, friendly and easy to get to. It is also not far from the park area where the Space Needle is.
Our first stop was at the Seattle Aquarium where we purchased what is called the City Pass, which is a 6 attraction bundle at a much reduced price. Price for the City Pass is $59.00, separate admission to each attraction is $113.70 which is a savings of $54.70
This included not only the Aquarium but 2 rides to the top of the Space Needle in a 24 hr period, entrance to the Pacific Science Center which has many exhibits but also 2 IMAX theaters (one IMAX film per City Pass), One harbor tour by Argosy Cruises and entrance to Woodland Park Zoo. It also comes with what is called an optional ticket. What that ticket does is allow you entrance to either the The Museum of Flight 10 minutres from downtown or the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame which is in the same area as the Space Needle and the Science Center.
The Aquarium has two indoor exhibit halls, plus an outdoor viewing area for their larger attractions such as the Harbor seals. This was a very nice aquarium with easy access and plenty to see with fish from all over the world as well as species that live near the Northwest coast.
From there we trekked to the Pacific Science Center. The trip is not far by foot but it is uphill from the Waterfront district. The reason that it is uphill is that modern day Seattle is built on the remains of the original Seattle that was destroyed by earthquake and fire. Some of the old parts of Seatlle still survive and you can take a tour of this "underground Seattle" (unfortunately time constraints prevented us from doing this). Once at the Science Center we caught a showing at one of their IMAX theaters and then walked among their exhibits. They are similar to OMSI in Portland but with less focus on technology.
From the Science Center we used out optional ticket and went into the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. As the Name implies it is devoted to SciFi and it sits in one half of the building with the Music Project in the other half. In it they chronicle the history and evolution of SciFi and they have many, many artifacts including one of the original models of the Enterprise and Captain Kirk's Command Chair.
Also they have Tweekie from the show Buck Rodgers, the robot "dagget" from the original Battlestar Galatica, R2D2.
While there I had to get myself a "Dead Man Walking" T-shirt that has a Star Trek security guard with cross hairs imposed over him and that saying next to it. This is based on how many times, usually in the first minutes of the episode, a security guard gets killed. This in turn inspired the term Red-Shirting for when a SciFi author uses a real life person in one of their books and kills that character off.
From there it was a trip to the top of the Space Needle for a view of the greater Seattle area.
After that we took a trip via a monorail which runs from the Space Needle to downtown Seattle. Matter of fact the stop for the monorail downtown is inside a multistory shopping mall. We then headed back down to the waterfront which took us through Pike Place Market which is an attraction in its own right.
Once back at the Waterfront we ended the day with an hour long harbor cruise. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so we weren't able to see and take pictures of the Olympic montain range to the west of Seattle.
What we did see was a French Destroyer in for a port visit as well as the 2 heavy Ice Breakers the Coast Guard operates in for work.
On the second day we took the Lakes Cruise, also offered by Argosy Cruise lines. This cruise is 1.5 hours long and takes you past Husky Stadium and the University of Washington campus, plus the famous houseboat homes that have been featured in films as well as the Sleepless in Seattle community. You also got to see where the uber rich live including Bill Gates home as well as the natural beauty of the lake area. Also on clear days like this one you get a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier. We also got to see small 'bush' planes of a small airline that uses the lake as their landing zone.
From there we spent the rest of the day at Woodland Park Zoo as shown in the following pictures. One thing I couldn't get a picture of was the Bald Eagles nest that was not the pair of Bald Eagles belonging to the Zoo. Turns out that there is a lot of crows that hang around this zoo and in turn they attracted a pair of wild Bald Eagles. Due to the abundance of food in the area they made a nest there.
The third day was a travel/visit Mt. Rainier day. We had planned on stopping at the Sunrise Visitors Center while traveling through Mt. Rainier National Forest but the road to it was closed due to having 6 feet of snow on it.
While we were traveling the roads through the mountains there you could really see how they affect weather patterns. On the west side there was rain all the way up to the crest of the mountains, that turned into fog and low lying clouds and that turned into clear skies by the time we exited the National Forest on the east side. Also just prior to entering the National Forest we saw 1 lonely Elk munching away no more then a foot to a foot and a half from the road.
Overall I wished we had planned one more day for Seattle for we had to forgo some nice attractions such as the Museum of Flight, Underground Seattle and a tour of the Boeing plant.
The next travel destination is Yellowstone.

45th Congress of the European Regional Science Association: "Land Use and Water Management in a Sustainable Network Society", 23-27 August 2005, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Urban agglomerations all over Europe are growing at the expense of the surrounding landscapes. Given the enormous growth of built-up land for settlement and transport use within recent decades in Western and Southern Europe and, more recently, comparable trends within Central and Eastern European EU accession states landscape and open space policy in urban regions is an emerging core issue and action field for targeted sustainable spatial development (Office for Publications of the European Communities 1999). For European urban regions strategies and instruments to secure and improve open spaces play an important role because quality of life, the image of the region as well as international competitive capacity are tightly linked with the existence of valuable open space structures. Although Germany has a comparatively well-developed system of landscape protection (e.g. landscape planning, nature protection) and inclusion of landscape issues in the political instruments of town and regional planning, every day 105 ha of open space is transformed into sealed land. Conflicts between ecological and socio-economic aspects tend to obstruct the implementation of traditional landscape policy instruments, which frequently ignore the multifunctionality of urban landscapes (Apolinarski/Gailing/Röhring 2004). For these reasons in some urban regions protagonists involved in landscape policy have recognized that metropolitan open space depends not only on the top-down approach of public landscape protection, but also on active landscape management and development. They have established Regional parks in order to enhance the value of open spaces by means of project-oriented regional management. Improving living conditions and mobilising urban landscape is to be achieved by the collaborative implementation of local projects and by overcoming problems of institutional interplay (Young 2002) between fields such as local recreation, sustainable agriculture, nature protection, protection of cultural heritage or landscape architecture. In the sense of multifunctional landscape management individual open space interests are integrated and the status of open space is strengthened in a holistic approach. Former "residual space" can thus acquire a lobby in formal planning processes. Case studies of the "Berlin-Brandenburger Regionalparks", the "Regionalpark RheinMain" and the "Emscher Landschaftspark" demonstrate that Regional parks are an innovative form of regional governance in agglomerations and urban surroundings (Gailing 2004). Despite problems like the underestimation of agricultural land use or the dependence on public finances, Regional parks can be identified as efficient tools to strengthen the status of the landscape in urban and regional policies. By bridging the gap between conception and implementation they are complementary to existing formal planning processes.

After all the excitement in Australia, there wasn't a great deal to see on the first day of practice for the Chinese Grand Prix. Time to write a blog on just ten minutes of action due to poor visibility in but at least Lewis Hamilton had a moan, so always something to write about.
I've been to a few horse racing meetings where the action was delayed due to the absence of an ambulance. Well pretty much the same thing happened in China as the terrible smoggy and misty conditions made it impossible for the medical helicopter to be used. Twice the first practice session was stopped when it was impossible to land at the hospital and when the local airport had to be closed.
The 15 minutes that we did manage to get saw Red Bull's Max Verstappen set the fastest time on the damp track with Felipe Massa's Williams in second and his team-mate Lance Stoll third. Racing conditions weren't at all great with Nico Hulkenburg spinning into the gravel at Turn Two and problems for both Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean at Turn 10.
Not much therefore to indicate what we can expect over the weekend as only 14 drivers set a time and that's a number which doesn't include championship leader Sebastian Vettel (not something that has been written for a while) and Lewis Hamilton. The problems with the medical helicopter continued and the poor visibility meant the second practice session had to be cancelled.
Lewis Hamilton did his best to entertain the disappointed crowd by signing caps and filming for his social media accounts in front of them. He wasn't happy though about the lack of action on Friday and believes Saturday should be used for practice with both qualifying and the race on Sunday. His view is that the poor weather could be "a blessing in disguise" with the new bosses having a chance to produce something "proactive and creative." For a brief while it was even considered having the race on Saturday which would have delighted the TV companies, NOT!
It was a no-win situation on Friday though, the cars simply couldn't be allowed on the track without that medical helicopter available. Safety is paramount above everything else and Hamilton should know that.
What does the weekend have in store for us? It's due to be dry on Saturday but rain is on its way back on Sunday and that could cause plenty of problems for the organisers. I'll be back on Saturday when hopefully there is more to report on, till then enjoy your racing (if you see any).

Holiday Cocktail Recipes
Toast to a wonderful holiday season with these fun Christmas cocktail recipes from GEARYS!
Whether it's a Negroni, Mai Tai, martini or Manhattan, the significance of a cocktail is less about the drink itself and more about the moments that are shared with a libation in hand and a loved one in sight. Secret Santas, holiday potlucks, cookie exchanges and grand Christmas celebrations are best enjoyed alongside a complementary cocktail. Like any seasoning, a good drink merely brings out the best in the moment rather than being the center of attention itself.

Dear Parishioners: Yes another Sunday and another snowstorm! It seems to be a constant refrain in this column. Yet another snowstorm arrived last weekend! Let's hope and pray that spring weather comes soon! I don't know about you but I am more than ready for warm sunny weather!
I am grateful to Kevin McDevitt for his fine job last weekend helping us with the Catholic Charity Appeal In-Pew Solicitation. This method has proven to be successful across the Diocese of Providence. There is only one parish left that still collects for the CCA by going door to door. A few others only do mailings to collect donations. Since we have begun the in-pew solicitation our total raised for the CCA has increased by nearly $50,000! But more importantly the number of donors has increased and includes nearly 150 new donors. If you have made your pledge or given your donation to the CCA, I thank you for your generous support.
Last weekend we were able to raise $32,000 toward our parish goal of $193,000. As has been said these funds are the major source of funding for the many chartable works of our Church. Everyday thousands are served and helped by our many Diocesan agencies and your donations make it possible. We invite every parish family to consider pledging a gift of $250 over 10 months. Your gift of $25 per month (that's just $5 a week!) goes a long way in ensuring that our many brothers and sisters who are in need, who are suffering in sickness and who live in poverty are served. We are blessed at Our Lady of Mercy that many of our parishioners are so generous in supporting the CCA. Some are very generous in supporting the CCA by becoming Bishop's Partners in Charity. There are about 70 parishioners who are members of the BPC and generously donate $1,000 and many who donate much, much more. If you have been greatly blessed in life, we ask you to consider sharing your blessings by becoming a Bishop's Partner in Charity and donating $1,000 or more.
Whatever amount you are willing to donate, please know of my gratitude for your generosity. But also know of the gratitude and thanks of the many people whose lives' you impact with your donation. The homeless, the refugees, prisoners, the dying, the sick, the addicted, and the poor are indeed grateful for your generous support of the CCA. If you have not yet made your pledge or given your donation, please take the envelope provided in the pews home and return it next weekend. You can simply place in the regular collection baskets in the coming weeks, put it in the mail or drop it off at the Parish Office. We are steadily making our way toward our parish goal but need all 2,500 families at Our Lady of Mercy to support the CCA in order to reach it.
I thank Mrs. Grace Murphy who organized this weekend's new blanket collection for the homeless. Your generous donation of a blanket or two helps a homeless person stay warm during these cold and snowy days. Any blankets can be dropped off in the collection box in the vestibule. Thank you for your support.
Lent is coasting along as March has arrived and we enter our third week of this holy season. We continue to pray, fast and give alms as we attempt to deepen our conversion to Christ. This conversion to Christ can only lead to a life of more fulfillment, deeper meaning and greater happiness. At his weekly Angelus message last Sunday, Pope Francis reminded us: "The way of Jesus always leads us to happiness—do not forget it. The way of Jesus always leads us to happiness. There will always be a cross, and there will be trials along the way, but it will always lead us to happiness. Jesus does not deceive us. He has promised us happiness and he will give it to us, if we follow his ways." Lent marches on and so must we as we continue the solemn fast of forty days toward Easter. We continue to carry the cross of Lent in order to truly enjoy the glory of the resurrection at Easter. Don't forget Fridays are for fish and Stations of the Cross. God Bless.

A home for the IKEA concept
The IKEA
We believe in learning by doing. We operate the IKEA Concept Center in Delft, the Netherlands, where shopping, learning, testing and supporting all come together.
The idea is to give IKEA retailers the chance to learn about the IKEA Concept and its recent updates and benefit from all the competence of specialists in a hands-on environment.
"The floor is where we learn still today, be it in the store or in the factory."
Ingvar Kamprad
IKEA founder
For most visitors, the main attraction of the IKEA Concept Center is the IKEA store. Like all IKEA stores in the world it offers inspiring solutions, low prices, tasty food and shopping that is fun and enjoyable.
IKEA Delft also offers online shopping, putting the IKEA offer at people's fingertips 24 hours a day.
The IKEA Concept Center is also home to specialists who, in co-operation with the IKEA retailers, find and identify good ideas and solutions. New solutions are developed, documented and analysed from a conceptual viewpoint.
We provide systematic transfer of IKEA know-how. And communicate proven solutions to all IKEA retailers, so that each and every one can benefit from these in their business. Together, we work to keep the IKEA Concept successful.
Just as all IKEA products are tested to ensure quality and to find ways to improve, we are always interested in improving the living IKEA Concept. We test lots of new and innovative ideas at the IKEA Concept Center. These could be ideas suggested by IKEA retailers or ones that we come up with ourselves. When we find solutions that work well we make the part of the IKEA Concept and document and describe them so that all IKEA retailers benefit.

Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland
This pull-in off the A82 is a popular spot for a picnic by the loch. Exceptionally photogenic, Loch Linnhe is a great place to take some snaps – whether you're a novice or a pro photographer wanting to hone your skills.
How to get here
The picnic site is between Ballachulish and Fort William, about 2 miles (3km) north of Corran Ferry or 6 ¼ miles (10km) south of Fort William. Grid reference NN 040 656.
Stop here for a rest and take in the views. When the sun is out you can have a dip in the loch. Also a good spot for a bit of fishing. Lynne Grays, Thurrock
This picnic area about 15 minutes drive south of Forth William along Loch Linnhe is maintained by the Forestry Commission of Scotland (FCS) and is a lovely place to stretch your legs and look up and down the loch. There is ample parking and several picnic tables.

At low tide it's possible to walk out onto the flat rocky bank of the lake and see the places where the seaweed has fastened itself to boulders that will disappear back under the water when the tide comes in. We didn't see any, but some guidebooks say that seals and dolphins are sometimes present. M D London
Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh, and downstream as An Linne Sheileach. The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning "pool"
Loch Linnhe in Scotland has a special attraction to photographers due to its fantastic scenery and sunsets. Not only photographers enjoy this unique location the area offers many other outdoor activities like kayaking, fishing, sailing and walking.
At 31 miles long and about 1.2 miles wide it stretches past Fort William, fed from the North by Loch Eil and continues south as far as the Firth or Lorne, the Loch is fed from the East by Loch Creran and opens up into the Firth of Lorne at its South Western point.
Loch Linnhe Wildlife
Wildlife in the Loch is in abundance with many seals taking advantage of its small islands throughout its length; also popular are porpoises, Dolphins and many sea birds you could even see Golden Eagles souring above. A great way to take advantage of the scenery is to take a trip from Fort William with Crannog Cruises, the cruise will give you the chance to see Britain's highest Mountain Ben Nevis from the loch, and will take you to Seal Island to see the Common and Grey Seals. Another good way to see the loch is to simply drive around and pull over at the many parking areas around the Loch.
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault.[2] About 50 kilometres (31 mi) long, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its southwestern end. The part of the loch upstream of Corran is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long and an average of about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide. The southern part of the loch is wider, and its branch southeast of the island of Lismore is known as the Lynn of Lorne.
Products from Amazon.co.uk
Loch Eil feeds into Loch Linnhe at the latter's northernmost point, while from the east Loch Leven feeds in the loch just downstream of Corran and Loch Creran feeds into the Lynn of Lorne. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.

Lawn medicine
Even with fertilizing and watering, my lawn was showing signs of distress and miscoloring. After much research I learned I needed a soil conditioner with microbial properties. Not an easy thing to find at a price I could afford and in a pellet form that could be used in a spreader. I was happy to find this product. But, I was even happier to see that it completely corrected all my lawn's issues. This is a great product. I'll use it twice year as regular maintenance.

A couple months ago, I introduced a piece of experimental music called Archivorithm Number One. I've continued to tinker with it in the meantime, and I'd now like to release a "second edition," along with a fresh round of audio examples which I hope you'll enjoy. Let's kick things off with a twenty-six-minute medley. (See the end of this post for audio download links.)
To recap, Archivorithm Number One is an indeterminate work of phonography, designed to be carried out by a piece of software. The "first edition" varies substantially each time it's realized, but what each realization creates is a group of phonograms that can be repeatedly played—not a unique performance event. In primary mode, it creates a cycle of ten segments from scratch by combining randomly downloaded audio clips from the Great 78 Project with any designated collection of drum samples according to chance-based rules. In secondary mode, it takes any existing segment as a seed and generates a remix cycle of ten remix segments from it according to a modified set of rules, placing a higher premium on continuity. Individual segments can also be played separately from the cycles in which they originated, either through random shuffling or as a manually assembled medley (like the twenty-six-minute one presented above). So the operator has several opportunities to control how the work unfolds, each of which is an authorized—but optional—step in its realization:
- Selecting particular cycles as "keepers"
- Choosing segments to remix
- Singling out segments for independent use
- Assembling individual segments into medleys (which can be of any desired length)
None of these activities much resembles traditional musical interpretation by a performer. Some of them feel more like assembling a playlist or track list. Others involve assessing future promise: that's a catchy segment, so let's remix it and see what else we get; or, that's some pretty cool audio, so let's make a music video out of it; or, that one's no good, so let's scrap it and move on. There's something here akin to the practice of "found art" at its most discovery-centered, and also to an editor's role in accepting some submissions, rejecting others, and earmarking yet others for further development. The operator can ultimately select only from among those results the algorithm itself happens to crank out. On the other hand, I've tried to design the algorithm itself so that it will crank out aesthetically appealing results with some regularity—results that can trigger motions and emotions, and that can even get stuck in your head.
Any cycle, segment, or medley can also have a video track added to it that's been generated in a similarly randomized fashion from materials in the Prelinger Archives. I won't be providing any video examples in this particular post, but you can find a couple in the earlier one. This time around, I've instead chosen a featured image from an a different algorithmic art project (taking any photograph, making three copies flipped horizontally, vertically, and both ways, layering them, and multiplying the pixel values—a byproduct of the "flip-mixing" experiments described here). Its main connection with the subject matter of this post is it's been the wallpaper on my laptop throughout the time I've been working on Archivorithm Number One.
Here's a representative cycle of Archivorithm Number One in its "first edition" form. It's a primary-mode cycle, which means that the whole thing was generated by chance all at once, and that all I've done is select it as a "keeper" from among a variety of other, less subjectively appealing cycles I could have chosen instead. As you might expect, consistently appealing cycles are far rarer than single appealing segments.
I still like the earlier edition perfectly well. It's even made it onto terrestrial radio—specifically WFMU, where listeners to the Frow Show with Jesse Jarnow on June 26, 2018, at 1:24 AM, got to hear a different cycle of it sandwiched between Terry Riley's "Looking for Mushrooms" and a half-speed playback of "Rockaway Beach" by the Ramones. But I think the new edition is an improvement. An installer for the new Windows 10 executable is available here if you'd like to run it for yourself and generate your very own exclusive listenables. The most conspicuous of several changes I've made is this one:
- The default source of audio clips remains the Great 78 Project, but I've also introduced an option to draw clips similarly from any local folder of audio files in WAV, AIF, OGG, or MP3 format.
As long as the local folder doesn't also consist of content digitized from grooved media, one difference will be the absence of the distinctive surface noise. But "feeding" the work with different types of source material also yields different-sounding results, which gives the operator a new variable to play around with and introduces further room for experimentation and discovery—something like a piece originally conceived for violin being played on flute or guitar instead. Here, for example, is a cycle that draws its samples from the wonderful Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations (which also featured in parts of the opening medley):
Next, here are two pairs of seed (top) and remix (bottom) with samples drawn from a personal playlist of 668 mp3s I put together for myself a few years ago. This was also the source of samples for most of the segments in the opening medley.
And here are a seed and remix built entirely on samples from the soundtrack CD for one recent mainstream animated film. Can you tell which one? Or does this process disguise raw source material so effectively that it can't be readily identified?
It's also possible to mix and match, remixing segments based on samples drawn from one source with samples drawn from another source. Here's a seed segment with samples drawn a folder of miscellaneous classical piano recordings (obtained here)—
—remixed with samples from the Conet numbers station recordings.
The opening medley contains a few segments of this kind as well, although not very many. In general, that medley is a compilation of all my favorite segments that were (1) based on samples from any sources other than the Great 78 Project and (2) parts of primary or secondary cycles that didn't otherwise grab me. Sometimes I've intentionally sequenced two or three related segments (e.g., a seed and remixes) next to each other.
A few other changes in the code have also impacted the above examples.
- I spotted a mistake in my code that affected only the stereo version of the algorithm. I'd been adding the right-channel component of each clip to the cumulative left-channel result instead of to the cumulative right-channel result as I'd meant to, which was reducing stereo separation and increased the difference in volume between clips. This is now fixed. But was the previous version "wrong," or just different? It wasn't quite what I intended, certainly, but the adjustment is roughly equivalent to that between first and revised or "corrected" editions of a score.
- I increased the number of possible loop or bar sizes (i.e., the number of clips assembled into each loop or bar): formerly, this was 4, 8, or 12, but it can now also be 3 or 6 (with a 1/4 chance of 6 and 8 and a 1/6 chance of 4, 12, and 3). The probabilistic mix of rhythmic alternatives has therefore changed. But again, the previous version is still an acceptable variant.
- Before, the percussion track invariably divided each bar into sixteenths, which worked well for four-clip loops (4 beats per clip) and eight-clip loops (2 beats per clip), but for twelve-clip loops it resulted in 3/4 beat per clip, which frustrated one of my goals in introducing percussion, which was to mask clip transitions. This issue would have become more problematic with the increased variability in loop size. In the new version, I've therefore introduced an alternate percussion algorithm for bar lengths that are divisible by three, treating the start, 1/3, and 2/3 positions as I'd previously treated the start, 1/2, 1/4, and 3/4 positions; and treating the 1/12, 1/6, 3/12, 5/12, 3/6, 7/12, 9/12, 5/6, and 11/12 positions as I previously treated the second-level divisions (1/8, etc.). This creates the possibility of a waltz rhythm. (It also rules out a twelve-clip loop split into sixteenths, which the older code will sometimes have produced, and which for that reason remains an acceptable variant.)
And two purely practical adjustments:
- There was a problem before with the "set output folder" arrangement; it only worked if the output folder was the same folder that contained the EXE file. That, too, has now been fixed. But if you want to use the older version of the code attached to my previous blog post, you'll need to be sure the "output folder" is set to the same folder as the EXE.
- There was a mistake in the code that preallocates an empty vector for constructing a rhythm track, and this could generate an error once in a blue moon (it's happened exactly once out of the dozens upon dozens of times I've run the script). Fixed.
To round out the demonstration, I'd like to share just a few "second edition" examples that draw their samples from the Great 78 Project, which remains the default source. Here are a seed and remix:
And four ordinary cycles:

Chilling Video Shows Second Graders Parroting Lines About White Privilege
By Steve Straub On May 27, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Video
This is simply outrageous and shows why sending your kids to public schools is a very risky proposition!
Via The Blaze:Educators at the 15th annual White Privilege Conference in Madison, Wisconsin made no secret of their plans to begin targeting younger students with their message of social justice.Watch the video:
In a workshop calledExamining White Privilege and Building Foundations for Social Justice Thinking in the Elementary Classroom, educators Rosemary Colt and Diana Reeves werecaught on video by conservative news outlet Progressives Todayspeaking about how teachers can insert social justice, anti-racist information into their lessons that even little kids can understand.
One of the most alarming parts of the conference was when 8-year-olds began parroting things like, White privilege is something that white people have, meaning they have an advantage in a lot of things, and they can get a job more easily.
The presentation also included worksheets teaching children that the Constitution doesnt work well for everyone because some people have different beliefs.
Do you agree sending your kids to public schools is becoming an increasingly risky proposition?

These days, anyone who commits a crime that the progressives can get some mileage out of is now automatically a white-something or just plain white as in the case of the Santa Barbara shooter, in spite of his documented mixed race heritage.
Take a look at this recent murder in Florida as an example.
Frankly I just don't get it. Mr Obama had a white mother, and was raised by his white progressive grandparents, but there is no mention of white when the media references him. Strange isn't it?

When I watch crap like this that is almost surrealistic, I feel like I am hanging out with the hookah smoking caterpillar as we spiral down the rabbit hole:
Like the guy said in True Lies...Yeah, but you're not her parents, anymore, you and Helen. Her parents are Axl Rose and Madonna.
Guess who will be raising the kids now.
I think I have figured out what white privilege is by watching the news reports recently. If you are white, old and defenseless, or sometimes even young and white, you may unexpectedly have the 'privilege' of being the victim of a smack down by a gang of thugs, also known as polar bear hunting or the knockout game, and for no reason other than you are perceived as being white.

"So Thankful"
A Desperate Dad and a Last-Minute Rescue
We met Amadu and his family when they came to Cope Family Center seeking help after the devastating Napa Complex Fires. Amadu, a single dad, was at work when the evacuation advisory for his neighborhood was issued on October 11. Despite the dire situation, his employer wouldn't permit him to leave to get his three children. Due to past trauma, the stress triggered Amadu's PTSD which resulted in his employer putting him on unpaid leave. Though he had applied for state disability benefits, he hadn't yet received payments by the time he came to Cope. Desperate for assistance paying his rent so he could keep a roof over his family's head, Amadu applied for an Emergency Financial Assistance grant, a disaster relief fund distributed by Cope and funded by the Napa Valley Community Foundation.
During his verification appointment, Amadu explained his situation to his case manager, Colleen, and provided the necessary documentation. Once his application was approved, he was in tears as he expressed his relief. Knowing his rent would be paid, Amadu felt a glimmer of hope. "My daughter is doing so well in school," he explained. "I am so thankful we won't have to move. She can stay in her school where she is thriving."
Colleen referred him to our Family Resource Center for further assistance. We connected him to the Napa Food Bank; distributed clothing vouchers for Church Women United; gave him diapers and baby wipes; and handed him gift cards to help him make ends meet while he waited for his disability payments to start. Additionally, Amadu was able to meet with a therapist onsite to help manage mental health struggles caused by the fires.
