Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer, and that means the tantalizing prospect of having more time for reading stretches ahead of us — long, lazy summer days curled up with a book.
With that in mind, Newbery Award-winning author Kate DiCamillo shared some summer book recommendations for readers ages 8-13 with NPR's Melissa Block. DiCamillo is the author of Because of Winn-Dixie and The Tale of Despereaux, among others, and was recently named the country's national ambassador for young people's literature by the Library of Congress. Her latest book is Flora & Ulysses.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block. It's the unofficial start of summer - this Memorial Day. Which means the tantalizing prospect of having more time for reading stretches ahead of us. Long, lazy summer days curled up with a book. And with that in mind, we have a few summer book recommendations for young readers - say the eight to thirteen-year-olds among us. Who better to weigh in on that than the country's National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, so named by the Library of Congress, Kate DiCamillo. She's the author of "Because Of Winn-Dixie", "The Tale Of Despereaux", and many others. Kate, welcome back to the program.
KATE DICAMILLO: Thank you, Melissa.
BLOCK: And you have sent along some suggestions of great summer reading for young people. And let's start with one - it's an novel called "Counting By Sevens," by Holly Goldberg-Sloan, with a wonderful female narrator, 12-year-old Willow Chance. She is obsessed with the number seven, with human disease and with plants. I love this book. We got it for our mother-daughter book group and everybody seemed to really, really engage with this character.
DICAMILLO: I think she's just an absolutely delightful character in the middle of a huge, huge storm of tragedy really. And this tragedy happens right up front and yet it's a book that is in many ways a really, really happy book about finding yourself and being who you are. I loved this book and it made me laugh out loud. It made me underline and dog-ear pages and I love to dog-ear a book. I think you should live in a book. And then it's a very wise book. You don't realize how much you're learning about how to see other people and how to be in the world. You know, you do that thing sometimes when you close a book and you want to clasp it to your chest - this book made me want to do that. I just wanted to hug it.
BLOCK: Well, let's talk about another novel for young readers that's on your list with also a very captivating young female narrator - it's called "Under The Egg" by Laura Marx Fitzgerald. And the plot line here has to do with a girl in New York City, a painting that may or may not be a treasure and art stolen by the Nazis. There's a lot packed in here, but it's really compelling reading.
DICAMILLO: Again, a very strong, very capable, very smart female narrator. And in the same way, someone who is suddenly on their own in the world.
BLOCK: You know, I'm curious - for you as an author, when you read a book like "Under The Egg," this is a debut novel from Laura Marx Fitzgerald - what's your thinking about that? I mean, this is, I think, a really successful book and it's her first book.
DICAMILLO: Happily, when a book is good, I stop being a writer and I'm just a reader, which is what I did here. You just fall into it as a reader. But the writer in me did go and check a couple times to see - is this really the first thing that she's written? - because it is so accomplished. There's a certain amount of jealousy so - but that's good.
BLOCK: (Laughing) That can fuel you.
DICAMILLO: Yeah. (Laughing). I was very impressed with it.
BLOCK: There's an intriguing selection on your list. And it's a book called "How I Discovered Poetry," from the poet Marilyn Nelson - a personal memoir told in 50 unrhymed sonnets. All of which take place between 1950 and 1959. She calls it a portrait of the artist as a young American Negro girl.
DICAMILLO: Yeah. And this book does so much in such a deceptively simple way because it's a history of a certain time in America. It's a very personal recollection. It's about being part of a military family and it's about growing up as a black person and even more than that too, there's this thing about somebody discovering language. And that last poem about when she realizes that she's going to become a poet - I always was afraid of poetry when I was a kid and this poetry just is very clear. It opens itself to you.
BLOCK: You mentioned the last poem in the book, it's called "Thirteen-Year-Old American Negro Girl" set in Clinton Sherman Air Force Base, Oklahoma, 1959. Would you read that poem, Kate?
DICAMILLO: Yeah 'cause I just put my glasses on.
BLOCK: (Laughing) Great.
DICAMILLO: (Reading) My face, as foreign to me as a mask, allows people to believe they know me. Thirteen-year-old American Negro girl, headlines but read if I was newsworthy. But that's just the top of the iceberg me. I could spend hours searching the mirror for clues to my truer identity, if someone didn't pound the bathroom door. You can't see what the mirror doesn't show. For instance, that after I close my book and turn off my lamp, I say to the dark give me a message I can give the world. Afraid there's a poet behind my face, I beg until I've cried myself to sleep.
BLOCK: And that's where that book ends.
DICAMILLO: Yeah.
BLOCK: You know, all the books we've been talking about, Kate, are told by young female narrators - do you find it harder to find books with boy narrator's that might be more appealing to a male audience in this age group?
DICAMILLO: Yes. You know, there's always that danger of losing boys as readers and we don't tend to worry about that as much with girls. So for younger boys there's Kevin Henkes' "The Year Of Billy Miller," which was a Newberry honor this year. And it's a book that I can't say enough good things about, that deals with matters of the heart in a very, very compelling way, in the second grade year for Billy Miller. And if you were reading this out loud to your second-grader, your fourth-grader and your fifth-grader would wander in and be captivated too. I could guarantee it almost. Maybe I shouldn't guarantee it.
BLOCK: (Laughing) We'll hold you to that.
DICAMILLO: (Laughing) Yes.
BLOCK: Kate, do you have especially vivid memories of summer reading when you were a kid - maybe in this age group, 8 to 13 or so.
DICAMILLO: Oh, my goodness, yes.
BLOCK: Yeah.
DICAMILLO: I was lucky enough to have a mother who took me to the library - the public library - twice a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. And also bought me books. And also read aloud to me. But we had a tree fort in our backyard and I would take books up there and read.
BLOCK: Do you remember one book in particular that you were reading up there in the summer?
DICAMILLO: Well, it's funny because not too long ago, I remembered that I read and loved "Harriet The Spy." And so I went back to it as the adult me with some trepidation thinking, wow, will this be as good as I remember - 'cause I remember being in the tree fort reading this book. And it's even better and more subversive than I remembered. And it's basically a primer in how to be a writer.
BLOCK: Well, Kate, happy reading. Thanks so much for talking with us.
DICAMILLO: Melissa, thank you. It's so good to talk about books. I'm so glad that y'all did this. Thank you.
BLOCK: That's children's book writer Kate DiCamillo. Her most recent book won the Newberry medal. It's called "Flora And Ulysses." And if your hands were too full to keep track of Kate's summer book list, you can find that list our new Facebook page. Go to facebook.com/npratc.

China currency legislation has advanced in the Senate and Free Trade Agreements (FTA) are scheduled for votes in the House and Senate the week of Oct. 10.
A final vote in the Senate on legislation targeting China's intervention in currency exchange markets is now scheduled for Oct. 11. Senate Majority Leader Reid, D-Nev., pressed to wrap up the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011 (S.1619) before the Senate takes up the President's jobs bill and three pending FTAs with Panama, South Korea and Colombia. The Senate voted 62-38 to invoke cloture and cut off debate on the China currency legislation but further progress on the currency legislation, which if enacted would deem undervalued currencies actionable subsidies, was delayed by disagreements over amendments.
A number of Republicans supported the legislation, which would impose sanctions on China for manipulating its currency in order to increase exports. Support from Southern Republican Senators whose states have lost manufacturing jobs in recent years appeared to deliver the key votes on the cloture motion. Sens. Graham, R-S.C.; Sessions, R-Ala.; Burr, R-N.C., who are co-sponsors of S. 1619, were joined by Sens. Chambliss, R-Ga.; Cochran, R-Miss.; Isakson, R-Ga.; and Shelby, R-Ala., in voting for cloture. Other Republicans voting for the motion to invoke cloture were Sens. Snowe, R-Maine; Collins, R-Maine; Brown, R-Mass.; Hoeven, R-N.D.; and Portman, R-Ohio.
Although the Senate cloture vote indicates that the currency bill is likely to pass the Senate, the legislation faces an uncertain future. In the House, Speaker Boehner, R-Ohio, has criticized the bill and made it clear he does not want to bring it up.
Approval of three FTAs, which were negotiated during the Bush administration, is expected to occur the week of Oct. 10. The House and the Senate are both scheduled to hold votes on the Colombia, South Korea and Panama FTAs on Oct. 12, one day before South Korean President Lee's state visit on Oct. 13. The House will vote on the three FTAs and a bill to renew Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programs on that day.
The House Rules Committee issued a closed rule for all four measures, which allows a separate vote on each measure but does not allow for any amendments and stipulates that the House will have one hour of debate on the TAA/GSP bill and 90 minutes for each FTA bill.
Barring any objections, an agreement between Senate Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell (R-KY) also will limit debate on the FTAs, allowing votes to happen in a more timely fashion. Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which applies to all three trade deals when they come up in the Senate, allows up to 20 hours of debate for each of the trade agreements. The House closed rule is important for the Colombia FTA because it is not covered by TPA and would otherwise be open for amendments on the House floor.
In a related development, the Finance Committee announced that it will hold a mark-up of the three FTAs on Oct. 11, at which point it also will consider the nominations of several trade officials, including Ambassador Isi Siddiqui to be USTR's chief agricultural negotiator.

Happy one hundred and one days in office President Obama.Can't you just hear the footsteps of the revolution now?
Wall Street Journal
By JOSH MITCHELL and HENRY J. PULIZZI
April 30, 2009
Chrysler LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York Thursday, kicking off what the Obama administration predicts will be a 30- to 60-day restructuring of the third-largest U.S. auto maker.
At the same time, Chrysler entered into a partnership with Italian auto maker Fiat SpA, Mr. Obama said in a noon address. Mr. Obama said the partnership would not only let Chrysler survive "but to thrive."
The U.S. government will provide up to an additional $8 billion in aid, including up to $3.5 billion in so-called debtor-in-possession financing, to ensure Chrysler survives the historic reorganization process. The administration had hoped to keep the car maker out of court but decided it was the only option after a deal to cut the company's debt was rejected late Wednesday by several of the company's lenders, a senior administration official said.
So again President Government steps in and gives more money- $8 billion. That is $8 Billion of our tax payer dollars paid as a dowry to Fiat- an international company. Wouldn't this lead to increased competition for the US auto industry? Was I just hearing things last night or didn't Obama say during his historic 100 day anniversary press conference that he did not enjoy interfering in affairs outside of Washington? He doesn't want to be running American businesses. I heard it. Did anyone else?
Obama said he wanted "to disabuse people of this notion that somehow we enjoy, you know, meddling in the private sector."
"If you could tell me right now that when I walked into this office that the banks were humming, that autos were selling, and that all you had to worry about was Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, getting health care passed, figuring out how to deal with energy independence, deal with Iran, and a pandemic flu, I would take that deal," Obama said.
Now compare Obama's quote from Wednesday with the WSJ story:
In exchange for the aid, the U.S. government will take a "small equity" stake in the new company, which will be partly owned by Fiat. According to a White House fact sheet, the U.S. Treasury will hold 8% of the reorganized company, while Fiat would hold 20% and the governments of Canada and Ontario would receive 2%. The U.S. government would have the power to appoint board members at the new company but would not get involved in day-to-day operations, the administration official said.
Nah, that doesn't sound like an administration that wants to meddle in the private sector. I suppose President Obama also taught courses in bankruptcy law along with his con law courses. Watch out America next Obama will force us to purchase their cars. Every model comes with a cup holder for your Kool Aid.
In my opinion, Chrysler and the other auto giants should have been untouched by the federal government and allowed to fail. Yes that is very cruel and conservative minded of me. That is what capitalism is. Businesses start, they fail, shit happens. Chrysler should have filed for bankruptcy months ago. Because of government intervention or for lack of a better term "meddling". We have wasted billions, perhaps trillions of taxpayer TARP money on auto companies that are still unsuccessful despite the bailouts. Great, just great.

Leaf Guards for Gutters
As we all know, life is busy. Why take the time and hassle to make sure your gutters are not clogged and operating as they are intended to? At Gopher State Seamless, we understand this.

Leaf Guards for Gutters give you piece of mind and reassurance that your gutters and downspouts are flowing freely as well as keeping you off of a ladder and out of harm's way.
Bulldog Leaf Gutter Guards:
Bulldog gutter guards is an aluminum drop-in pressure fit system. This system is applicable for preexisting gutters as well as new gutter systems. This system can be installed on any top of roof as it does not interfere with the shingles in any way. Bulldog is a flat-ported panel that is fastened securely by screws to the top lip on the front of the gutter as well as being screwed to the back of the gutter. This process not only keeps out leaves and debris and animals, but actually strengthens the gutter as well. Bulldog comes with a 25-year no-clog guarantee warranty but was also manufactured with an environmentally friendly approach in mind as it is made with 100% recycled aluminum. Bulldog is available in 5 or 6 inch sizes and comes in white or dark bronze colors and is barely visible from the ground.
Leaf Sentry Gutter Gaurds:
Leaf Sentry is a solid top-nosed forward design that is matched to the pitch of your roof to allow the water to follow the unique nose in to the gutter allowing the water to enter while keeping leaves and debris out. Leaf Sentry has its own high-flow ported panels and custom inside corner accessories for valley areas to accommodate the higher concentration of water flow. Leaf Sentry is backed by a lifetime, no-clog warranty and is available in 16 colors. Leaf Sentry is suitable for 5 or 6 inch gutters.
Aluminum/Steel Screen:
Screens are for an economical approach to leaf protection. Gutters screens are the cheapest products to use for gutter protection. Screens are installed by sliding the screens below your shingles and screwing the front to the top lip of the gutter. While screens will help debris stay out, regular maintenance is still needed to keep your gutters flowing freely. Gutter screens are available in raw, aluminum color and black steel. They come in both 5 and 6 inch sizes.

5 Actors Who Could Reboot 'Rocky'
10.27.2016 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
Creed was one of the surprise hits of 2015, and successfully revitalized the Rocky franchise in an unexpected way. While Sylvester Stallone stole the show as an aging Rocky training a protégé, it was Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Johnson character that positioned himself to continue the series. That means that in some sense Rocky will continue, though it will do so through a new character. Coming Soon, which tends to have up-to-date information on release dates in addition to its regular film news, has said that there's a tentative November 2017 release date for Creed 2 (which may or may not feature Stallone in a major role).

Heaven Sutton's 7-year-old body crumpled to the ground on the eve of the summer's hottest day. She was selling candy and snow cones on a West Side sidewalk when gunfire broke out and a stray bullet struck her in the back. Just like that, her name joined the growing list of this year's homicide victims in Chicago, and her image — wide-eyed and smiling — became the face of a street violence outbreak that city officials are struggling to contain.

A Commitment to conserve the Amazon is sealed
Posted on 01 October 2010
Ministers foster an integrated vision for protected areas in the region.A promising future for the conservation of the Amazon has been sealed in Japan. The hard work to preserve nature in the countries of the region has received long-expected support.
During the recent Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 10) in Nagoya, the ministers of Amazonian countries took a historical step by committing their support to foster a new comprehensive vision for conservation in the region based on articulating the progress of the national systems of protected areas.
Because the forces behind the transformation of the Amazon extend beyond a national context and know no political frontiers, it is necessary and urgent to approach the region as a whole in order to ensure the viability of the system as a whole.
Scaling up: from National Parks to a Regional Vision for Protected Areas
In an event organized by REDPARQUES (Latin American Network for Technical Cooperation on National Parks, Other Protected Areas, and Wild Flora and Fauna) and the ACTO (Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization), ministers and authorities from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela launched the first report of the Programme of Work in Protected Areas (PoWPA) on the Amazon biome, and committed to support the regional action plan for the 2011-2020 period.
This way, the governments of the region expect to build a regional conservation strategy upon the basis of the national systems of protected areas, for which they will have the support of REDPARQUES, the CBD Secretariat, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the ACTO and WWF's Living Amazon initiative.
"It is a good thing to be able to count on the willingness of all the ministers. The possibility to work together is essential for the conservation of one of the most important regions in the planet. WWF has committed to support the implementation of the action plan and the joint regional efforts", said Yolanda Kakabadse, WWF President.
Articulating efforts
During the last decades, the Directions of protected areas in Amazonian countries have not only focused on increasing the protected surface within their national territories, but also on articulating cross-border and regional cooperation efforts. In this context, the commitment and political support of national authorities is critical, as it will allow the strengthening of technical cooperation for conservation work.
"We hope to work together on this regional initiative for the Amazon's conservation", said Izabella Teixeira, Brazilian Minister of Environment. "We must acknowledge the progress made so far, which has yielded impressive results. The international community has to recognize the importance of this work and provide the necessary financial support for it to continue", she concluded.
Amazonian success
Natural protected areas are a key tool in any sustainable development and conservation strategy. In this regard, the national systems of protected areas in the nine countries that share the Amazon symbolize a great progress on a global level, since they cover more than 20% of the region's total area, without accounting for the 26% made up of indigenous territories and others, which also contribute to the conservation of local biodiversity.
The commitment shown by the Amazonian countries has a global significance, given that almost 80% of all protected areas created in the world between 2003 and 2009 are located within the Amazon biome; this has been recognized as one of the most important results of biodiversity conservation in the last decade, according to the third edition of the "Global Perspective on Biological Diversity" report.

"Acquiring Land and Creating Opportunities - A Parks and Trails Strategic Objective" is a program area representing DNR's commitment to one of the four pillars identified in the 25 year Legacy plan. The Legacy plan identifies its purpose to 'create new and expanded park and trail opportunities to satisfy current customers as well as to reach out to new ones'.The purpose of this program is to call attention to the pillar, but also to centralize and streamline reporting on other related programs within the pillar.
The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
The DNR is working with local communities and an interagency team to define, prioritize, and establish groundwater management areas in Minnesota. Groundwater management areas will have increased data collection and monitoring that allow the state and local communities to understand water supplies, uses, limitations, and threats to natural resources that depend on groundwater. This information will support detailed aquifer protection plans that ensure equitable and sustainable groundwater and drinking water use for the future.
Arts and Cultural Heritage
Governor Mark Dayton's landmark buffer initiative was signed into law in 2015. The law establishes new perennial vegetation buffers of up to 50 feet along rivers, streams, and ditches that will help filter out phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment. The new law provides flexibility and financial support for landowners to install and maintain buffers.The DNR's role in Minnesota's new buffer law is to produce a statewide map of public waters and public ditches that require permanent vegetation buffers. The DNR is scheduled to produce these maps by July 2016.
"Connecting People to the Outdoors- A Parks and Trails Strategic Objective" is a program area representing DNR's commitment to one of the four pillars identified in the 25 year Legacy plan. The Legacy plan identifies its purpose to 'better develop Minnesota's stewards of tomorrow through efforts to increase life-long participation in parks and trails.'The purpose of this program is to call attention to the pillar, but also to centralize and streamline reporting on other related programs within the pillar.
"Coordinating with Partners- A Parks and Trails Strategic Objective" is a program area representing DNR's commitment to one of the four pillars identified in the 25 year Legacy plan.
The DNR works with the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) to develop County Geologic Atlases to convey geologic and hydrogeologic (groundwater) information and interpretations to government units at all levels, but particularly to local governments, as well as private organizations and citizens. The MGS focuses on geology (Part A reports) and DNR focuses on groundwater (Part B reports).These studies provide information about the region's geology and groundwater's presence, direction of flow, natural quality, age, and pollution sensitivity.
This project will conduct a 2017 revision of the South Fork Crow River, North Fork Crow River and Sauk River Watershed Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) models and review of the Pine River Watershed HSPF model.
This program provides critical assistance to MN DNR Parks and Trails Division Regional and District offices to assist with renewal and rehabilitation efforts prioritized locally by field staff. Projects include the following types: State Park Building and Facilities Emergency Repair and Maintenance, Paved Trail Maintenance and Asset Preservation, and State Park and State Forest Trail Renewal. This project is a newly reorganized budget area that consolidates these three smaller project areas reported on in previous years.
The Division of Parks and Trails is creating innovative programs to attract new audiences, particularly young families, to Minnesota state parks and trails. Skill-building programs, such as "I Can Camp!," provide a trial opportunity by eliminating the barriers of needing to have pre-existing knowledge or gear for the activity. Special events, such as National Get Outdoors Day, generate enthusiasm and a sense of urgency to visit. Gateway programs introduce visitors to a host of outdoor pursuits, including those offered by other divisions of the Minnesota DNR.
The DNR works with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Department of Health to determine the level of contamination from mercury and other harmful chemicals in fish from Minnesota's lakes and rivers and to track the success of efforts to reduce mercury pollution. Clean Water Legacy funding is being used to significantly increase (more than double) the number of lakes and rivers that are assessed for mercury contamination on an annual basis. Fish are collected during DNR fishery surveys, processed for laboratory testing, and analyzed for contaminants.
This program will develop a centralized, integrated approach to managing existing data systems and incorporating new information needs into the integrated enterprise information system of data.
This on-going program is for detecting, mapping and controlling invasive plant species and re-establishing native vegetation in their place on lands administered by the Division of Parks and Trails. Control of invasive plant species furthers progress to preserve and restore the quality of native plant communities on Parks and Trails lands as well as helps prevent the spread of invasives to new locations.

The Flying Kiwi necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 19 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
Flying Kiwi Global Megacorp
We provide photo collections in different media.
We are doing "coffee table" books aimed at a general audience, measuring 8.5 x 11 in portrait format. Each book covers two of our photo collections (100 photos in each collection).
We're really looking for a single template for a whole series of these coffee table books, and we want to be able to implement each of the titles using PhotoShop 6.0. So what is needed is really just a rough layout, not print ready, but using only features available in PhotoShop 6.0.
We would like the Flying Kiwi logo to be fairly prominent on the front cover. To preserve the "look and feel" across our assets, we would want to use the Hand of Sean font for the text "The Flying Kiwi". We usually use Georgia as our primary font, but that's not necessary.
We don't currently intend putting a barcode on the book, but it would be nice if the design were flexible enough to add this later.
We currently planning on doing print-on-demand through Lulu, so I've provided their templates. They don't seem to have one for the spine?! I've also provided the text "The Flying Kiwi" in Hand of Sean font, as well as our logo and a photo from two of the collections. You can put these photos into whatever aspect ratio you want; our aesthetic throughout our product range is to crop tightly.
I've also attached our initial design for the front and back covers, which lack "zing", hence the reason for putting the project on 99designs.
The books are intended for people in the USA waiting in a doctor's or dentist's office. They should appeal all the way from kids up to adults. We can probably assume slightly higher than average income and education.

Time to hang stands, check trail cameras
One of my former students, Wyatt McBride, and his grandfather, Floyd Smith, had them one heck of a day of catfishing back on Father's Day.They caught a good mess of fish, so they had a fish fry. There is nothing like taking kids fishing or hunting, and I will never get tired of that smile that they have when they are successful. Thanks for bringing those pictures to me, Wyatt. I like getting pictures of people (especially kids) in the paper, so if any of you readers have pictures, send them to me.— — —E-mail questions or comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Alarming state of linux distributions
Does this mean linux is losing popularity or some rarely known distribution is gaining prominence in the background?

I think it just means distrowatch is losing popularity.
Its long been wildly inaccurate, which can be seen in your screenshot by the fact that Mint is more popular than Ubuntu (its not).

- PhilK said...
Exomancer has it entirely wrong - those Distrowatch numbers are not a metric of "popularity" but of hits, which may arguably be a fair proxy for "interest".
I'm an Ubuntu user, but since I'm actually using Ubuntu I'm interested more interested in reading about Mint, so the numbers make sense to me.

This screenshot only reflects one day, which is ONLY being compared to the day before. Look at it today and you will find an entirely different story. Your conclusion is inaccurate and your post irresponsible.

@Anonymous: First of all, I have not drawn any conclusion. Secondly, I would like to know in which line of my post you find a comparison.
You consider my post as irresponsible. I say get your facts straight and come out of anonymity.
I have used linux for years. I am active on the open source community as well. So, the state represented in the RANDOM peek alarmed me.

This major endeavor from David Haas includes an innovative new Mass setting-the first complete Mass he has written in five years-drawn from the musical motifs of his top-selling new communion song, "We Give You Thanks." David covers important musical ground with this project. In addition to the usual ritual moments set to music (the Kyrie, Gloria, gospel and eucharistic acclamations, Lord's Prayer, and Lamb of God), this project includes: Music for the dismissal of children and for children's Liturgy of the Word * Music for dismissal of catechumens and candidates (RCIA) at the conclusion of the Liturgy of the Word* A setting of the profession of faith*Intercessions utilizing the popular Zimbabwean/Iona melody "If You Believe and I Believe" * Instrumental music for the Preparation of the Gifts leading into the sung blessing over the prepared gifts * A new sung setting of one of the new eucharistic prayers from Masses for Various Needs and Occasions * A hymn of thanksgiving rather than a typical "closing song" (as called for in the Sacramentary) * A sung acclamation for sending communion ministers forth to take the Eucharist to the sick and homebound * A sung final blessing And if this list isn't enough, David based the music for the gathering/sprinkling song on his popular "We Are God's People" from Psalms for the Church Year, Vol. 1

The Clouds' Veil. (Song of the Celtic Soul). By Liam Lawton. Sacred. Cassette. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-CS-415).

Lawton is known for beautiful melodies and texts that are strikingly simple to learn. In short, his newest collection, The Clouds' Veil, is ideal music for congregational participation. His work gives life to the great and beautiful history of his homeland, Ireland, using the ancient prayers and traditions as the main source of inspiration for his melodies and texts. The Clouds' Veil embodies a great sense of joy with melodic tunes suitable for all congregations, mixing both contemporary and traditional instruments. The already top-selling title song touches on the presence of God and our complete trust in the Almighty One. Mass of the Celtic Saints was written as "a dance of joy to the God of life," and beautifully achieves its purpose. This is a collection and recording not to miss!

Mass of the Angels and Saints by Steven R. Janco. Sacred. Cassette. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-CS-385). This new Mass provides the ultimate in flexibility, yet retains a wonderful musical unity that will enable your assembly to sing it with ease. Many options are provided to encourage your creativity in adapting the setting., yet the writing is straightforward and accessible to resources of every kind. Written for SAB choir, these settings provide both a substantial choral sound and greater accessibility to smaller parish choirs and ensembles. The Mass may even be sung by assembly and cantor alone. Mass of the Angels and Saints is wonderfully effective on piano with optional guitar and woodwinds as well as on organ with optional brass quartet and timpani. (The single keyboard part works on piano or organ.) Includes a penitential litany (with 9 sets of invocations), sprinkling song, Gloria, Alleluia and Lenten Gospel acclamations, general intercessions, sung Eucharistic Prayer III, and Lamb of God. Plus, the recording includes eight additional songs by Steven Janco.

Light the Fire by Liam Lawton. Sacred. Cassette. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-CS-384). Liam Lawton's collection, Light the Fire, is a lilting, melodic Celtic feast. There's a marvelous mass setting with assembly parts that are so singable they seem to dance! The Gloria, gospel acclamation, and eucharistic acclamations are obviously drawn from a cultural tradition of communal singing. You cannot help but participate! "The Darkest Hour" was written to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Great Famine, which plagued the Emerald Isle and resulted in the immigration of so many Irish to this country. Parishes commemorating this painful anniversary will want to make use of this haunting work. The title song, "Light the Fire," is an anthem to St. Brigid.

How To Save Fuel In Your Boat – Boating Fuel Efficiency Tips
The days of dollar per gallon gasoline seem like little more than a distant memory these days. This isn't lost to us (we think about more than just making awesome pontoon boats, y'know…). So with that in mind we compiled some of our own fuel saving tips and also asked some other prominent boaters.
From Chuck Fort at BoatUS
- Lightening the load is one of easiest no-cost things to save on gas. Boats tend to collect stuff over the years; clear out all of the junk that's been stored that you no longer need. Don't top off fresh water tanks, just keep enough for the day – water weighs eight pounds per gallon, which can really add up. Also, keep your fuel tank between 1/4 to 1/2 full. If, for example, you have a 135 gallon gas tank, keeping only 50 or 60 gallons in the tank can make you lighter by about 500 lbs (gas weighs about seven pounds per gallon).
- Get a tune-up. An annual tune-up is a must if you're truly serious about saving gas. Make sure your engine air intakes are not restricted – you will burn fuel less efficiently if they are.
- Check the prop. A dinged and bent prop can rob you of 10% of your fuel costs. Prop shops can use a machine to tell how far out of specification your prop might be and repair it like new. They can also advise as to whether you might need a prop of a different diameter or pitch for best efficiency.
- Paint the bottom. For boats docked in salt or brackish water, keeping the fuel-robbing "green gunk" growth from adhering to your boat's hull can save a lot of fuel.
- Check the trim tabs. Unbalanced boats chew up the gas. Ensure that trim tabs function properly and make sure you know how to use them.
- Avoid excessive idling and warm ups at the dock.
- Finally, check out some locations that are nearer to you – you might find a hidden gem and save fuel to boot.
From our own staff here at Manitou
- Make sure that your hull does not have growth (barnacles, algae, etc.) and is clean to ensure maximum speed and efficiency.
- Follow the procedures on maintenance from the engine manufacturer for your outboard engine.
- Decide what speed you would like to average most of the time and go with an engine that is larger than what you require. Running a 200 Hp engine at half throttle will be more fuel efficient than a 115 or a 150 that is running at maximum speed and RPMs.
- Correct prop selection is key. A bad match up for specific boat and engine combination will destroy efficiency.
- Prop condition, keep in as new condition. Damaged prop blades will negatively impact efficiency.
- Every boat/engine combination has an optimum cruise speed. When traveling distances using the optimum cruise speed will ensure the best fuel economy. Boats equipped with ICON, Smartcraft or other digital set-ups can utilize these systems to optimize fuel consumption. This data can also be obtained through performance reports done by engine companies.
From Bryan Hermann (Manitou customer)
- Weight Distribution. Try to keep the bow of the boat light. Store anchors, tools and spare props towards the rear of the boat, life jackets, towels and dock ropes towards the front. A bow heavy boat will push more water, causing excessive fuel usage. Loading like this will keep your bow high and dry.
- Prop for economy. The use of a 4 blade prop or a "Round Ear" 3 blade will diminish prop slip. The better the bite, the better the fuel economy. Bigger diameter, less pitch will also create less slip.
- Document Trips. Use a GPS and track your miles traveled, compare that to gallons of fuel used. You can track your economy for different driving habits. Once you figure out where your best economy range is. You can stick to that RPM range and trim setting.
- Drop your top! When your bimini top is up, even in the bimini cover, its like a parachute catching wind. Put your top down low, in the "Trailering" position. If you normally run with the top completely up, on nice days when the sun is not partially out. Go ahead and take it down. You wouldn't believe the fuel savings, just by going topless.

America's fascination with Abraham Lincoln seems nearly limitless--Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is an Oscar favorite, Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2005 book "Team of Rivals," on which Spielberg's film is partly based, remains on the New York Times bestseller list, where Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln" is currently No. 8.
So it's no surprise that National Geographic Channel would choose the 16th president and his assassin, John Wilkes Booth, as the subjects of what it calls its first scripted drama. Based on the book by O'Reilly (yes, that Bill O'Reilly) and Martin Dugard, "Killing Lincoln" (7 p.m. Feb. 17, Nat Geo; 3 stars out of 4) is really a mash-up of a documentary and a period drama.
Tom Hanks narrates the docu-drama, appearing on screen to give us the blow-by-blow of events leading up to and after Booth's attack at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Booth and his co-conspirators planned to kill Vice President Andrew Johnson and Secretary of State William Seward, and the movie illuminates a lot of details that often have been glossed over. (Then again, maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention in history classes.)
As fascinating as the minutiae are, fine work by the cast makes me wish this had been a fully scripted miniseries.
Billy Campbell holds his own in the thankless position of playing Lincoln after Daniel Day-Lewis's lauded performance in "Lincoln." His Abe is a man put on a brave face despite being tortured by premonitions of an early death that were fueled by four previous attempts to kidnap or kill him in the final year of his life.
Jesse Johnson plays Booth not as the bloodthirsty lunatic he's been made out to be, but as a larger-than-life, immensely popular stage actor. Booth truly believed that his murder of the "malignant tyrant" Lincoln would solve America's problems, and was woefully disappointed in the days after the assassination to learn he created a martyr instead.
The format of "Killing Lincoln" might be choppy, but it does convey Lincoln's private anguish over his position as possibly the most hated man in America--at least until Booth took the title by killing him.

Murata has introduced the MVAC series of highly efficient, a 3 x 5" open frame AC-DC power supply from Murata Power Solutions. Suitable for use in a wide variety of industrial factory automation, communications and medical equipment, the series comprises two single output models, the 250 Watt MVAC250 and the 400 Watt MVAC400 units. Both models accommodate the universal AC input voltage range from 90 to 264 VAC with active power factor correction (PFC) and active inrush control. Each model is available with a popular nominal output voltage of 12, 24 or 50 VDC. In addition, a 12 VDC 1 A fan supply and an auxiliary 5 VDC 2 A output are provided across the range.
With efficiency rating of 94% typical, the units are packaged in an industry standard 1U open frame format measuring just 127.00 x 76.20 x 35.56 mm (5 x 3 x 1.4 inches). These low profile power converters have significantly better convection cooled performance characteristics than other competing designs. The MVAC250 can deliver up to 170 W output and the MVAC400 up to 250 W without the need for any forced air flow. With their high convection-cooled ratings, the use of the MVAC series allows OEMs to eliminate fan and fan controllers in their traditional power designs.

I Must Be Going
But that´s not enough to keep me here.
Alas, after a long time wondering how to admit to it, I must let you know: I am unwell. You will likely be seeing less of me in coming days.
I am not dying! I am only on my way into a depression. It may seem I am simply going with the flow of economies and politics and the well-being of the entire civilized world, but I assure you a depression is a very personal thing, isolated and isolating. I have had them before. I know the signs. I know a depression is an immutable force that will not be denied.
They are very unpleasant sometimes. Other times they are full of revelations and sparks and wisdom, gold nuggets that glint among the tons of wet gray gravel. I have been through depressions before, and survived. I do not intend to fight this one off. I will let myself experience it fully, hopefully without stupefying medicine or insanely priced "counseling."
The Peaceable will go on hosting travelers. I will keep writing, but not here so often. I am withdrawing from hospitalero training, guidebook projects, and volunteer work that takes me away from home -- things that have been withdrawing from me for a year or more now. I will perhaps find other ways of being useful in the meantime.
Consider this a retreat. A stay at the Sanitarium, a curling-up into the coccoon. I am embarking on a dark journey to a known place. I am counting on your prayers to light my way.
I will be back on the blog now and then, I promise -- I don´t know how long I will be. Don´t wait up for me.

Buen camino, Reb. I won't pretend to fully understand what this means to you, but I think I can relate a little bit—if it feels right, go with it, and we'll keep you in our thoughts, and look forward to hearing from you. Much love.

YOU are the one who matters Reb: look after YOU. And remember that YOU matter to all of us peregrinos and 'Moratinos' readers.
You have been there before. That doesn't mean that it is any easier to go there again but, it does mean that you have come through it, and that you can come through it again - and you will; because you are strong. Suerte - sea feliz.

You have been loved,
You are loved,
You will be loved.
I still remember a conversation from '79 when you told me about this having happened previously. Can't tell you anything you don't know about it already. Just that you've survived it before. And I trust you will do so again.
message me an address so I can procrastinate sending you a CD.

I know the feeling well and agree that sometimes just going with the flow of a depression is the best one can do. There is a lot we learn from being inside of our own dark spaces. Buen Camino.

Minnesota State University, Mankato Water Resources Center
We are a center for environmental research and information exchange associated with a university. The mission for the Water Resources Center at Minnesota State University, Mankato is to gather, interpret, and distribute data of environmental significance to help citizens enhance the quality of regional lakes, rivers, wetlands, and groundwater. This is accomplished through faculty and student applied research, educational programming, technical assistance, and water resource planning.
We are going for broad appeal. More specifically, it should appeal to the general public, researchers, university faculty and students.
We want something simple and elegant that reflects water and land as the bulk of our work centers on studying rivers and lakes and the associated landscape.
We like the idea of it looking nature-based and organic. We are open to but not limited to a seal format that will look good on printed pieces, websites or apparel. We're okay with it just being lettering or having an icon associated with it. As far as icon, we would prefer something that is reflective/representative of water or landscape. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
We have not decided on a color scheme and are open to ideas but would only like it two colors (to keep printing costs down). Earth tones are preferable.
We can abbreviate Water Resources Center to WRC but "Minnesota State University, Mankato" must be spelled out.
We are okay with either:
Minnesota State University, Mankato Water Resources Center
Water Resources Center at Minnesota State University, Mankato
The files we will require are:

11:40PM EST October 4. 2012 - Security was tightened around Roger Federer after the world No. 1 received an online death threat prior to a tournament in Shanghai, according to various reports.
Tournament director Yang Yibin confirmed the threat to the Shanghai Youth Daily.
An anonymous poster using the name "Blue Cat Polytheistic Religion Founder 07" posted the threat on the popular Chinese website, Baidu.com.
"On October 6, I plan to assassinate Federer for the purpose of tennis extermination," the posting read.
The threat was accompanied by a doctored photo of a axe-wielding executioner standing next to a decapitated Federer.
The posting was taken seriously enough for the tournament to increase security around Federer and other players, but Yang told the newspaper he hopes it "was an oral threat only."

What, no accompanying evil laughter? No ten-page manifesto detailing how "evil" tennis is and thus needs to be exterminated? I think this guy was hit by too many tennis balls as a kid. And of course, the question that burns in my mind the most: what happened to the first six BCPR founders????
Well, 7 is a lucky number. But he'll need all the luck to avoid arrest. I'd hate to get arrested in China. lol
Exterminate tennis games in Shanghai. Safer and more profit made playing else where. If you notice very few Chinese patronage at tennis games comparing to other countries. Maybe they don't like tennis. Who knows. Players may get the trophies, but the organization does not make money immediately from spectators excluding TV viewers.
Shanghai is the new Roman Coliseum. lol Extermination is a daily happening. lol
