PORTLAND — Western Class B hockey got a lot more interesting Monday night as Cape Elizabeth defeated Greely, 3-1, winning the third annual Fix Cup at the Portland Ice Arena.
The Cup is given to the winner of a four-team Beanpot-style tournament and honors the life of former broadcaster Frank Fixaris.
Mike Holden and Sam St. Germain scored goals 20 seconds apart midway through the third period to seal the Capers' victory.
The Rangers had positioned themselves as the regional favorite over the season's first two months, defeating every Class B opponent they faced, along with a handful of Class A contenders.
"I'd say the race tightened up a bit," said Cape Elizabeth coach Jason Tremblay. "But if you ask our locker room, I don't think the race was ever loose."
Greely's only official loss was to Class A Thornton Academy, 6-3, in its second game of the season. Falmouth defeated the Rangers, 6-1, in the Dudley Cup on New Year's Day, which, like Fix Cup, does not count in the standings.
The Capers lost three games over a four-game stretch earlier in the season, including a 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers (Jan. 5), but are gaining momentum as the playoffs approach. They defeated Falmouth, 4-3, in the opening round of the Fix Cup last week. Greely edged Thornton Academy to reach the Fix final.
"Beating Falmouth the other night has really put a lot of energy into our game," said Tremblay. "We are starting to really play well right now. Our young guys are starting to pick it up and our seniors are really helping the team. You go as your seniors go and they are really leading this team right now. I am really proud of how they've performed."
Five minutes into the opening period and skating a man down, Cape Elizabeth senior Mike Holden forced a turnover in the neutral zone and passed to fellow senior Sean Eubanks who beat Greely goalie Matt Labbe through the five-hole to put the Capers up, 1-0.
After senior Zach Breed was denied by Labbe on a penalty shot in the second period, the one-goal margin remained until Holden flicked a shot from the point, through a screen and past Labbe with 8:50 remaining in the third period. The Capers went up 3-0, a mere 20 seconds later, when St. Germain stuffed in a rebound after Eubanks shot off the crossbar.
Kevin Hart scored the Rangers' lone goal with 15 seconds remaining in the game. With Labbe pulled and two Cape Elizabeth players in the penalty box, the Rangers had three extra skaters, giving Hart plenty of time to line up a wrister, sending it top shelf to end Phil Jordan's chance of a shutout.
Shutout or not, Jordan made 34 saves and helped keep the score 1-0 for much of the game against a prolific Greely offense. The Rangers had scored 40 goals over their previous five games.
"It's not like we had no chances," said Greely coach Barry Mothes. "We certainly had chances to get this game tied up or take a lead. It's not like we were here for 45 minutes and had no pressure. We had pressure. Unfortunately it just didn't translate."
Greely skated with a two-man advantage for a minute in the first period and had seven power-play chances in all, but was only capitalized on one. There were close calls throughout, including a Jesse Shavel shot that found the crossbar in the second period.
"We were just trying to keep (Greely) to the outside," said Holden, a defenseman. "We are really confident in our goalie. We knew he would make the first save so we had to clear the rebounds."
"Our defense played awesome tonight," said Eubanks.
The Rangers won't have to wait long for a rematch. Cape Elizabeth and Greely meet again Saturday at 8:10 p.m. in Falmouth. Greely had no games in the interim, while the Capers had to play at Class A Thornton Academy Wednesday and Kennebunk Thursday.
Tremblay couldn't even think of the rematch after Monday's win.
"Don't even ask me about playing Greely again because I am worried about T.A.," he said.
Mothes on the other hand was able to look ahead.
"It's a big game Saturday night," he said. "I am looking forward to it and I hope to heck the players are looking forward to it, too. We'll be right back at it."

Dear Natalie,
How is it possible to know someone for such a short time and to feel as though you've known them for lifetimes? If I hadn't believed in kindred spirits before I met you, I definitely would have come around to the notion quickly. Someday when we've both gone silver and have a passel of grandkids between us, we'll run away together to a cottage on Prince Edward Island. We'll drink tea and read all the books we never got a chance to get around to. And we'll remind ourselves time and time again of the fun we had when we were younger (and then go out and have more).
You are the kindest, most loving person I have ever met. Your optimism and ecstatic joy for the world and everything beautiful is a constant inspiration to me to be a better person. You make me want to write clockwork fairytales and brew large pots of tea, just so that you can come over and I can entertain you. (Seriously, lets find a way to make that happen).
There was no other option for my maid of honor. You're my right hand gal, and I can't imagine walking through this crazy world without you.
- Amy

Pub Date: May 2016
Genre: Young Adult

Book Links: Goodreads Amazon Book Depository
Everyone wants to be someone.
Layla Harrison wants to leave her beach-bum days for digs behind a reporter's desk. Aster Amirpour wants to scream at the next casting director who tells her "we need ethnic but not your kind of ethnic." Tommy Phillips dreams of buying a twelve-string guitar and using it to shred his way back into his famous absentee dad's life.
But Madison Brooks took destiny and made it her bitch a long time ago.
She's Hollywood's hottest starlet, and the things she did to become the name on everyone's lips are merely a stain on the pavement, ground beneath her Louboutin heel.
That is, until Layla, Aster, and Tommy find themselves with a VIP invite to the glamorous and gritty world of Los Angeles's nightlife and lured into a high-stakes competition where Madison Brooks is the target. Just as their hopes begin to gleam like stars through the California smog, Madison Brooks goes missing. . . . And all of their hopes are blacked out in the haze of their lies.
Unrivaled is #1 New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël's first book in a thrilling suspense trilogy about how our most desperate dreams can become our darkest nightmares.
My Review: This book was different than other books I've read by Alyson, but it was just amazing! Alyson can write in any genre and its such a great thing.
Taking your dreams and turning them into nightmares is just what happens to these characters and it kept you on your toes. Twists will come when you dont expect it. You read about these characters and think one thing and then they do something else.
Layla might just be my favorite. She dreams of writing, getting a story out there. She just knows what she wants. She was relateable and just awesome. Though I did like the other characters. They each had their own plan and then they get a VIP invite. All their dreams around about to come true and things should go perfectly right?
Well...when the biggest star goes missing, things take a turn and dream are on hold. Nightmares are about to come around and nothing is going to go as expected.
It was such a great read. Alyson has a way to just make you love her books, which is an amazing thing since I'm picky with suspense novels.

Last month, Toshiba's Tecra line got the Ivy Bridge treatment, with the announcement of the enterprise-focused R940 and R950 with fingerprint readers and the Smart Client Manager. Oddly enough it gave the same names to its more budget-priced Tecra machines, the Tecra R940 and R950.
These two models are available only through ToshibaDirect right now, and don't have some of the higher-end business security features like the fingerprint reader. The 14-inch Tecra R940 starts at $600 and can be configured with a third-generation Intel CPU, optional AMD dedicated graphics and up to 16GB of RAM.
The 15.6-inch Tecra R950 also starts at $600 and both can be configured with 320GB hard drives, and up to 512GB SSDs.

Camp Frenchmen (2)
here (I like his idea of another table with lots of loaves on it - might have to do one of those). The table itseld was painted with my standard dark wood palette - base coat of GW "Scorched Brown" (or whatever it's called now), wash of dark brown ink, then highlights of Foundry "Spearshaft" A and B. The oven was painted with the Foundry "Stone" palette - using the A base colour and then drybrushing with the B and C colours. If you were painting this as a proper Revolutionary War set, you'd probably paint the feathers in the woman's hat as a tricolore, but I left them white, as being more of an AWI French colour. The pokalems I decided to paint as normal - I don't know the extent to which this sort of hat was worn prior to the 1790s.
So hopefully this is something that could be used in games that feature French encampments, such as Savannah and Yorktown, and so this set receives AWI and Napolenic French labels. There are two other vignettes which I'll post about soon. I've been on holiday recently and been subsumed by work; hence the lack of posts the past 2 weeks. I've enjoyed painting these sets and really hope that Eureka follow them up with more.
4 figures and various other bits. Painted March 2013.

I love the title of this one Giles.
Always a nice bonus to paint up something that fits into more than one period and these will help to set the scene in both.
The white powder is a nice finishing touch on a wonderful vignette.

DracoJesi, that was interesting. Thanks for sharing. I don't know anything about Appalachian traditions. In some ways it's similar to Wiccan, but there are some things I'm not familiar with. I'm looking forward to learning more from you.
The idea of balance is what drew me most strongly to Wicca over a quarter of a century ago. On my personal altar the moment I have a wooden wand for fire and God, a black cauldron for water and Goddess, a 3-inch globe my daughter gifted me with for earth, and a black feather I found at work one day for air ... the weekend of the fall equinox. Maybe I'll find a white one at the spring equinox? Also a pentagram (or three) and a clay dish with the Tree of Life painted on it, and some of favorite pieces of jewelry. Just to absorb the energies.

Microsoft is hardly the former corporation to invest in the renewable sources of energy. However, Microsoft joins the growing ranks of firms such as Google, Ikea, and Walmart which have perpetually been investing in the renewable energy.
Microsoft announced on Monday that it will house one of its ongoing data centers with large scale electricity sourced from a Texas wind farm. The company is willing to buy all the output from the 110MW wind farm for about 20 years. This desired project is to be built by RES Americas whereby, the electricity will be sent into a local grid that serves a Microsoft data center in San Antonio. The construction of this project is set to start next year and is further dated to be completed in 2015.
For years, the more popular trend for businesses to buy renewable-energy credits has been an association with the renewable-energy generation projects instead of directly investing in those projects. It is seen that buying the credits is a much feasible option because it does not require any business foundations to sign long-term power contracts or commit to substantial capital and time to build its own solar-power projects.
Nonetheless, as the wind and solar markets grows rapidly, the cost of renewable energy projects and the cost of building these projects have steeply declined. According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report, in 2012, the average long-term cost of wind power to U.S. utilities priced at $40 per megawatt-hour, from a figure of $70 per megawatt-hour in 2009.
Owning wind farms or buying wind power represents a strong commitment to fight against the ever-changing climatic conditions, rather than simply buying the credits. However, the marketing benefit of investing in renewable energy sources remains steady and strong. Nevertheless, both the approaches are beneficial as they provide long-term capital growth for the renewable energy market.
In most of the cases, these aspects help companies reduce their utility bills and in turn generate hefty profits in the long run.

When you make a small business website, professional portfolio, or personal blog, the sky is the limit when it comes to what it can look like.

A study has shown that depressed women tend to have more sex. This is not a surprise to me, nor is it to many people.
This is going to sound horrible, but women usually have lots of sex with lots of people in order to fill a hole (I told you). I've seen the rushing undercurrent of damaged goods below the surface of many sexually open women; it's quite conspicuous once you know what you're looking at.
And yes, I know my title isn't what the study found, but I think it's true as well. Unhappy women have more sex, and the women having the most promiscuous sex tend to be unhappy.
So what does this mean for the average single guy? Take note of any woman throwing her stuff around; she quite likely has issues with complicated names.:

How NOT to Order Flowers Online
From a to a , here at Domaine, we're suckers for a pretty floral arrangement. That said, we know how tricky ordering blossoms online can be (see: cheesy bouquets that look nothing like their photo, stems that arrive limp and brown). Hence, just in time for Valentine's Day, we devised this handy cheat sheet to navigating the online flower market. We also threw some of our favorite delivery services into the mix. Now aren't we a good bud? Keep it Simple Simplicity of style is key when you're ordering online. Stick to arrangements which feature a single species or have various types of flowers but all of the same color or color-family. Say Bye-Bye to Baby's Breath Avoid bouquets full of unnecessary and cliché fillers. Baby's breath, spray florals, and abundant greenery can detract from the beauty of the main stems and tend to overwhelm the arrangements. Forget Being Color Coordinated While there can be exceptions, avoid arrangements that come in novelty or colored vases. The red vase, red roses, and red ribbon can be a little...much. Stay Classy Sending flowers is a sentimental gesture but when they are arranged in the shape of a cake, a teddy bear, or a heart, they've crossed into saccharin territory. There's Power in the Petite Bigger is not always better. Some of the chicest arrangements are low but impactful. There's a reason images of edited, tight bouquets keep popping up on your Pinterest feed.

Our first hike of 2014 is scheduled for Friday, April 25 at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. Located in Pound Ridge, NY, this is a 4000 acre park with 42 miles of trails over varied terrain. We will select a trail approximately 4 to 5 miles in length and the hike should take about 2 ½ to 3 hours.
The trails are well maintained and somewhat less difficult than those at Mianus River Gorge, which we hiked last October. The hike will be followed by lunch (optional). Spouses, significant others, friends and guests are welcome to join the hike.
No entrance fee is charged of seniors during the week in the off-season and there is plenty of parking available. We plan to assemble at 10.00 am at the parking lot near the entrance of the park (where the ticket booth is located). There are restrooms here. At 10.10 am we will proceed as a group by car to the trailhead which is a short distance past the ticket booth on Michigan Road.
This hike is led by Sunil Saksena who can be reached at 203-561-8601(cell) or email@example.com
- Take exit 35 off the Merritt Parkway and proceed north on High Ridge Road( Rt 137 N).
- Continue on Rt 137 North for approx 8.5 miles and bear left at the fork towards Pound Ridge onto Stone Hill Road which is still Rt 137N.
- Continue till the T-junction at the end of Rt 137 N and then make a right turn towards Cross River onto Old Post Road (Rt 121 N) . After about 2.9 miles make a right turn just past the Baptist Church located at 1789 Old Post Road.. This right turn is clearly marked as the entrance to the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.
- Proceed on this road (Reservation Road) till you reach the ticket booth.
( The distance from Exit 35 on the Merritt to the ticket booth is just under 14 miles and will take about 30 min depending on traffic).
Official address of the Park is 4 Reservation Road, Cross River, NY 10518

22 reasons
. . . that I love my freaking Job!!!
FIRST!! I have to point attention to the fact that last night at about midnight I went to my bangs in a frenzy and chopped them all to pieces! I FREAKING LOVE THEM. There are not really any close up shots of them here but you will see them soon enough! I may even hack in a little more.
I hope you see the formatting the way I have placed it. It should be a row of four small pictures and two large, alternating. I decided to just throw all the coming items up in one post and get it out of the way, rather than a few at a time so that you can see what is coming a week in advance and you will be able to plan accordingly if you want to combine shipping. I will load them into the shop approximately six items at a time starting at the top Monday at 9:00 am and work my way down each day next week till I run out. Then I will take more pictures. Thank you all for supporting the shop and my new endeavors! Its really exciting to be back at it and I really appreciate all the nice words!

|Author's name: Mark J. Bobak
Author's Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
|Date written: 19th April 2002
Oracle version(s): 8.0, 8i
|After using 'set transaction use rollback segment xxx', I still get ORA-1555 on rollback segment 'yyy' and I do not understand why.
Back to index of questions
The statement 'set transaction use rollback segment xxx' does
two things:
1.) It begins a transaction.
2.) It tells Oracle that any DML for the duration of that transaction should write it's rollback to a rollback segment named 'xxx'.
However, the statement encountering the error is NOT DML. It's a select statement. A select statement will not write any data, so will not consume rollback. A select statement will (attempt to) provide a read consistent view of the data. In order to do so, it may have to refer to rollback.
Depending on what other transactions modified the data you are reading, those changes may have been recorded in ANY rollback segment. If, in the course of constructing a read consistent view of the data, Oracle discovers data whose rollback has been overwritten, it will raise an ORA-1555. This error will report the name of the rollback segment from which the (now overwritten) consistent image cannot be reconstructed.
If you look at it this way, it's easy to see why the name of the rollback segment reported in the ORA-1555 error doesn't match the name of the rollback segment specified in the 'set transaction ...' statement. It is a misconception to think that use of the 'set transaction use rollback segment xxx' statement can help you avoid an ORA-1555 error. It's simply not the case. Please see the items listed in the "Further reading" section below for more information about ORA-1555 and what actually can be done to avoid it.

As spring comes, the weather is warm and it is the time swallow join together again in the end of Phương Mai peninsula, which is normally called Mũi Yến (swallow mount) for the nests. Phương Mai peninsula (Quy Nhơn city, Bình Định) is like a giant dinosaur to prevent the strong wave and wind for Quy Nhơn city. The nature is as beautiful as water-color painting and also endows this land a unique treasure: it is swallow's nest – a high quality product which has become most popular for its healthy quality to people.
Yến island, Quy Nhơn province is a wonderful landscape with caves of ten thousands of years and stone blocks in hundreds of meters in high. The bed of cave is large but full of obstacles and difficult of access, it becomes the best places for swallow to make their nests. In Yến island, there remain 30 small and large caves, mainly located in two villages of Nhơn Hải and Nhơn Lý. Every year, people may collect from 100 to 300 swallow nest in as small cave. For the large caves, especially, the caves with their gates toward the East or Southeast, with cool and airy spaces and the fresh water remaining in the ceiling, the floating waves in the sea, local people may collect fourteen or fifteen thousand nests per years. There are two main types of swallow in Yến island, Quy Nhơn namely yến cỏ and yến sào.
The body of yến cỏ is larger than that of yến sào, and its nest is made by grass or rubbish taken from the mountains. Yến sào is the precious bird. The body of this bird is small but it can fly strongly. It takes the food by flying over the sea. It can fly for ten hours without any stop. Its nest is not made by grass but by its own slaver. Day by day, it pours a little of slaver, stretching it into cord and rolling it into the nest. For a time, the nest is dry and looks like a helix strongly fixed onto the ceiling or cliff. As the nest is large enough for the body, it starts reproducing.
To take the nests in the cliff and cave ceiling, people often use the bamboo-made scaffolds. People can travel in the scaffold as in a bridge. Some caves are in very high position so that people use up to 300 bamboo trees to make scaffold. The pillars are made of four or five trees to reach the ceiling. The way to take the nest is very meticulous. Any nest is far from the reach, people use a stick with a dog-nail on the top to take the nest. In the dry weather, before taking the nests, the local people use water injecting into the nest for softening to avoid breaking the nest.
The breeding season of swallow is January and February of lunar calendar and one month later is suitable time to take the first crop. The second one is when the birdies become strong enough to fly for seeking their food. People may collect a little quantity in the third crop. This time is a mainly creating favorable condition for sallow developing the quantity. Sallow nests are the export article of high economic value in Bình Định province.
Coming to see Yến island, visitors will have opportunity to see the spectacular scenery outside the caves. And upon arrival at the caves, visitors will be surprised at the imposing and gigantic space. In the cliff, amongst water drops there remain the white dots like sparkling stars in the summer sky, they are swallow nests which are inserted one another into long chains. The parent birds are spreading their wings to spread their heat to their children. Sometimes you can hear the sound "chuck chuck" by birdies to ask their parents for the food. The sound from wave, water-dropping, wing-flapping, bird-sound, etc all are mixed together to create a strange sound that bring the visitors to enter a paradise.
Yến island – a landscape where visitors cannot ignore once upon visiting Quy Nhơn – Bình Định.

I will begin teaching voice as a secondary instrument with a piano school which has opened several schools. In terms of pay, it's not alot. On the other hand love music and will be doing something I love. They are looking to continue expanding. Who knows, someday I might work up to find myself running one of their schools. That's a few years off.
I will be taking over someone else's teaching in one location because it's too far for her to drive from where she goes to school. She was very popular with the kids. Crap. I have been through that before. But this time it's different because I will meet with them one-on-one.
I sang at two recitals at two of the schools so they could hear me and meet me. Everyone was very complimentary about my singing.
The funny thing is, most of the teachers are Korean! We all went out for Korean barbecue after the last recital. I have seen some of the side dishes before, but just kimchee really. I read somewhere you have to see something 20 times before you try it. I'll be seeing alot of this stuff. They were impressed that I know how to use chopsticks. One girl confessed she holds her chopsticks the wrong way, and another chimed in that she did too. But they can get away with it because they are natives. I can use chopsticks, but I wonder how well I will do when I really can't even play chopsticks since my shoulder injury. Some of the women were impressed that I used chopsticks to put my hair up. It's easy.
How did I find this job? They posted that they were looking for some instrumental teachers on Craigslist. I wrote and asked if they needed a voice teacher. It just goes to show that you never know what will happen.
UPDATE- well, that' was a bust. I tried playing lessons with my left hand and that wasn't good enough. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
The music lesson for the day:
the Smiths were a melodic pop band from the late 80s and early 90s who sang about unusual and miserable topics tunefully.
I was looking for a job and then I found a job and heaven knows I'm miserable now. In my life, why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die?
The Smiths said it best.

Why Students are Mean
I ran into one of my former students at the mall. Her face lit up and she gave me a hug. I was happy to see her, but what in the world could I say?
Gina: Miss D!! How are you?
MissD: Gina, it's so good to see you? How are you?
Gina: I'm good.
MissD: How is the new teacher? Eva said she was really mean and made her write standards.
Gina: That's because it's Eva and she doesn't like to do anything.
MissD: I remember.
Gina: She's good. I'm in two periods of choir this year. Can you believe it?
MissD: Yes. That's kind of funny though.
Gina: Well, I just have two real classes and then two periods of choir in between them.
MissD: That's exactly what I was doing in high school. Too funny.
Gina: Miss D, you should have come back. We were mean to you because we were hoping that our old teacher would come back. But then he didn't.
MissD: I'll bet I got the blame for the choir falling apart...
Gina: Well...yeah, they did... But it was us really. We were just used to him.
MissD: Are they starting to see that it wasn't just me?
Gina: Yeah. The guys that are in the choir don't sing. And it still doesn't sound like we did when Mr. Moore was there. It would have been better this year because then we would be used to you.
MissD: O, honey, I know. I wish I could have come back, but it didn't work out that way. I kind of told you guys that's how it was gonna be.
Gina: Well, I guess we just didn't believe it.
MissD: I know.
Gina: We have chairs now in the new room.
MissD: Wow, that's what I wanted for you guys too.
Gina: The new teacher took one look at what the band teacher had and went straight to the office and got chairs.
MissD: Good for her, and for you guys.
Gina: So what are you doing this year? Are you teaching somewhere?
MissD: Um, well, I'm looking into new things right now.
Gina: That means no. You should still teach, Miss D. You were good. It was us.
MissD: Thanks, Gina. That means alot to me.
Gina: Well, I have to go. Bye.
MissD: Bye.
We hugged.
I wondered how the news of me not teaching anywhere this year would go through the school. Gina was trouble when I had her last year, yet at the same time, she was dedicated and sometimes gave alot to the choir. I couldn't handle the pressure of teaching students whowanted their old teacher back that badly. Gina told me that the accompanist returned also. Meanwhile, I lost everything. I'm the biggest loser in the whole thing. I'm still not over it emotionally and certainly have taken a hit financially.
I'm debating if I should ever go to that mall again. I did get a glasses prescription filled there and am getting contacts, so it is hard to avoid that mall for the time being.

Holdover Impossible Trivia Answered! 2011's Fastest Growing Job Was…
We were still looking for an answer to Impossible trivia Question, held-over from Monday, this morning. The question: Some reports says this was the fastest growing career in America in 2011. What's the job?
I gave this hint in the early going of the game this morning...You have to develop your own... client base in this job.
That was enough to tip off Lori from Bridgeton about the answer and she picked up 2-$40 gift cards from 1-800-Flowers and qualifies for Lite Rock's limo trip to see Barry Manilow at Radio City Music Hall in NYC on Valentine's Day.
The answer......Hair stylist!

In 1846 Oberlin published George Nelson Allen's Social and Sabbath Hymn Book, a collection of hymns. One of the hymns in this book, entitled Bearing The Cross, was adapted from Shall Simon Bear the Cross Alone, whose words were originally written by Thomas Shepherd in 1693.
Thomas Shepherd (1665-1739) wrote this poem about Simon of Cyrene who, according to Matthew 27:32, was compelled to carry Jesus' cross on the way to Golgotha.Shall Simon bear thy cross alone,
The original hymn reads:
The original hymn reads:
And other saints be free?
Each saint of thine shall find his own
And there is one for me.
Whene'er it falls unto my lot,
Let it not drive me from
My God, let me ne'er be forgot
'Till thou hast lov'd me home.
Shepherd's poem appeared in a collection entitled Penitential Cries (1693), a collection of thirty-two hymns that was authored by John Mason (1646?-1694). The subtitle states that the collection was "Begun by the author of the Songs of praise and Midnight cry; and carried on by another hand." The "other hand" was apparently Thomas Shepherd. His hymn appears as number 3 under section "XXIX. For Universal Obedience" in the 1859 edition (SEE PIC BELOW)
The poem was highly modified over centuries to such a degree that Shepherd might be considered the inspiration for the hymn rather than the author.
Here's a publication of the poem (now called "The Cross") from 1843:
From Hymns: designed for the Use of the Second advent band
Published by N. Stevens and H.B. Skinner in Boston 1843
Many sources suggest that in 1844-1846 the tune of "Maitland" was linked to this hymn by George N. Allen in his Oberlin Social and Sabbath School Hymn Book, which Allen edited, but in this collection the hymn was called "Bearing The Cross".
This hymn does not contain music, at the most the meter (C.M.= Common Metre) is mentioned.
In the Plymouth Collection (1855) the hymn has yet another title ("Cross And Crown") and shows that Allen was the author/adapter of the text, not the composer of the tune, and the tune itself was printed without attribution for many years.
The name "Maitland" appears as early as 1869, in the hymnal book "Songs for the Sanctuary: or hymns and tunes for Christian Worship"
In "Songs Of Praise" (Lewis Ward Mudge 1890) it is suggested that the tune of "Maitland" was written by Amzi Chapin around 1820.
It also says Thomas Shepherd (1665-1739) wrote the 1st verse in 1692.
Prof George Nelson Allen wrote (1812-1877) wrote the 2nd and 3rd verse in 1849. (this is not true as we see in the 1843 publication by Stevens and Skinner (see above))
And the Plymouth Collection (1855) delivered the 4th verse (which also isn't true, because the 1855 Plymouth Collection has only 3 verses (see above))
So, was the tune actually written by George Nelson Allen around 1846, or was it written by Amzi Chapin around 1820 ??
Maybe it was adapted from "Amazing Grace" ??
"Amazing Grace" was written in 1779 by John Newton, probably as a poem, until 1835 when William Walker assigned Newton's words to a traditional song named "New Britain", which was itself an amalgamation of two melodies ("Gallaher" and "St. Mary") first published in the Columbian Harmony by Charles H. Spilman and Benjamin Shaw (Cincinnati, 1829). Spilman and Shaw, both students at Kentucky's Centre College, compiled their tunebook both for public worship and revivals, to satisfy "the wants of the Church in her triumphal march." Most of the tunes had been previously published, but "Gallaher" and "St. Mary" had not. As neither tune is attributed and both show elements of oral transmission, scholars can only speculate that they are possibly of British origin.

With yet another title "Shine on Me" this hymn appeared in Songs & Spirituals (Chicago: Overton-Hygienic Co., 1921).
Some verses of "Shine on me", come from "Bearing The Cross" /"Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone", which I have mentioned in the first part of this topic.
But the chorus ("Shine on me" ) comes from a popular African-American spiritual "Let The Light From The Lighthouse Shine On Me" that was recorded many times during the last century.

Many years later Thomas A. Dorsey would use the melody as the setting to his own hymn, Precious Lord, Take My Hand, which became popular through its association with Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.
Sometimes Dorsey is shown as the composer, sometimes as the arranger or adapter of Allen's composition.

ATLANTA - A Delta flight on its way to London turned around and returned to Atlanta for a second time overnight.
>> Delta warns flights may be affected by Southeast winter weather
Delta Flight 284 took off from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Delta told WSB-TV that pilots heard a noise coming from the plane and out of an abundance of caution decided it was in their best interest to turn the plane around.
>> Bird enters cockpit, forcing airplane's return to gate
According to Flightaware.com, the flight made it just over the North Carolina border when it turned around.
The plane landed safely shortly before 9:30 p.m. at Hartsfield-Jackson.
A Delta representative said the passengers heading to London would be placed on another flight, which was expected to take off around 11 p.m. Tuesday. That plane took off but then turned around again at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The third flight is not scheduled to leave until Wednesday night, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

I DONT want your money, just your happiness,…
I am both excited and nervous, this damn year has gone by so fast that I am not caught up in all my business goals at all. As of my charts I wanted to have more artists, and more seed money and by now everything together perfectly for a proposed event in April.
I am not currently up to date on what I want done for the store and it is frustrating, the next couple days are going to be excruciating Business writing and realistic goals and marketing plans put into cement.
I actually have two points I want to make in this post, and it may not make any sense to you but here it is.. "I Don't WANT your money.."
and on the other spectrum I have a very exciting idea for the store for a fundraiser and it requires money…OK how to explain..
Well, honestly you probably have not read anything past scrolling a few seconds on the Blog post page, I don't blame you, its a lot of content that my head vomit turns into on here, but bear with me, if you scroll down down and way down, you hit the first two or three posts that I made to this blog. Now you'll see I say in the second one and a very long one at that, (it has nice pics tho..) that its called from Dreams to Reality; my story. I don't know if anyone TRUELY understands what this means; I am living my Dream everyday, working for myself and not getting paid much.
I could never ask for more than just living for nothing. I have never had much more then nothing, ever. I am not asking to have a boat for a vacation to Jamaica, nor a trip to DisneyWorld, or even to have more money then I know what to do with. God what does that word Vacation even mean? Does that mean that you Hate your life so much that you have to get away from your LOCAL town and spend Vast amounts of money to be HAPPY?
I don't want that, nor even dream of that. I mean sure I wouldn't mind going around the world in 80 days, who wouldn't but I know, I NEVER will. I am not THAT person.
I am that local girl that wants to change the world's thinking from her own backyard on, who bussed it for 3 years, 3 towns, every week to sometimes not make a dime at the Sebastopol Farmers market just to take a basket of sidewalk chalk and see what that amazing market crowd would create every week, I have pictures that you wouldn't believe of the artwork produced from my basket of chalk..it warms my heart.
I thrive for seeing happiness around me, don't you? When people smile and dance and create art around me and because of something I brought to the table..wow that feeling is to DIE for..
(I added some pics below to show you… =) )
I am not in need of some 1million dollar donation to create a mufti-corporate identity to start conning people out of more of their savings,..that's definitely not what I want. I wouldn't know what to do with a million dollars, I take that lie back..
I was researching compounds and off-grid communities to live and I came across the best amazing site called Wood-Rats community out of Sebastopol, they even utilized the best marketing ever and had a brief survey to take for their site, I took it and one of the questions is what would you do with that kind of money. Like say 1 million dollars. This is what I would do..
If I had a million dollars I would find a property to start the largest Urban Homesteading/Sustainability Retreat in the nation. With state of the art, herb gardens and seed libraries and best of all, I would offer everything for FREE.
You could barter things you create of course, like these amazing people are doing in Seattle called Backyard Barter.
But most services would be free, I am talking a Library the size of Stanford and an herb propagating by the football fields here.
I would love to offer free bike repair and help people like these innovating tech workshops I have read about that employ/utilize the knowledge of the homeless in bike repair and such to enable the community to have a free bike repair shop..amazing
I would have an amphitheater for a Share Concert every week for local musicians to Share music.
I would have a seed bank the size like no ones seen before and give out heirloom seeds to elementary schools and to senior citizen homes.
I would have so much fresh organic herbs and veggies, that I would have to have a Free CSA to low income people in my area much like the amazing Food Bank here in Fort Bragg.
I would have a MONEY FREE MADE LOCAL, yes a store that you don't use money,=BARTER, you use what you Create to get other creations..doesn't that sound amazing…like say my bag of fresh veggies for your fresh made jam from your backyard, my home-drawn recipe book for an exchange of all your favorite recipes to make..sounds nice doesn't it..
Well I don't have a million dollars, and I am not too sure but I don't think I will get that kind of donation without a lot more hard work, but you get my point..right…?!
I don't want your money. I don't even want to make money. I am tired of dealing with money, and my journey into dealing with it hasn't even begun yet. I am sick of anything that has to do with money and I hate numbers, I can barely figure out percentages discounts at the store shopping. I hate shopping with money.
Have you ever been to a Swap or a Barter? Have you ever had that feeling of bagging up a box of items to be swapped locally? Its amazing; " I am giving my own items away to get more cool things from cool people who don't want to deal with money."…if you don't know that feeling than try to find it.
Its amazing to give and get back locally. I love it.
Ideally I will get 1 million dollars we can all pool together and make this MONEY FREE dream come true, but it would take a million to do so.. in the meantime..
I have a grand Fundraiser idea and I surely will not spoil it, but it is good and the only reason it is good is because my life partner, the marketing guru/ old broadcasting personality, gave me the idea and all the steps to make it happen. I love him so much!
But the key to a successful fundraiser I think is letting you know I do not want your money for myself, never will, never have.
I want us all to have FUN and raise money together for a cause and that cause is togetherness and localism and enabling ourselves, maybe one day we can get off this MONEY trip and turn Mendocino county into a Barter Town, until then lets just have some fun and start this store together!
Donate here and I will keep y'all up to date on the FUNdraiser I am planning.

On Friday, I got the chance to go to lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. My old art partner and I have been so busy that it's been hard to carve out time to get together, so it was wonderful to have a couple of hours to sit and chat about everything that's been happening in our lives for the last few months.
I always realize after I get the chance to see someone I love spending time with but rarely get to, that I need to make more of an effort to do that. You know how you run in to someone and you each say, "we really need to get together soon," but then time, and life get in the way and you never make it happen?
Well, I have decided that part of simplifying my life is to concentrate on the little things, the things that really do matter, like making time to see those people who you talk about, want to see and spend time with, but rarely do.

Gareth Southgate praised match-winner Marcus Rashford after showing maturity Dele Alli lacked, with the England midfielder having to apologise for making a rude gesture in the defeat of Slovakia.
Wembley bore witness to an entertaining World Cup qualifier on Monday evening, with things getting off to the worst possible start as Stanislav Lobotka broke through to fire the visitors ahead.
Rashford was culpable for the opener but rallied manfully, following up his assist for Eric Dier by firing in from distance to secure England a spirited 2-1 victory, putting them five points clear of second-placed Slovakia in Group F.
Things could have been so different had Kyle Walker been sent off on a night when Alli's middle-finger salute made ripples, although Southgate was more interested in the impact of his 19-year-old forward.
"No (it didn't surprise me)," Southgate said of Rashford's response to his difficult start.
"Having worked with him, he's such a mature character. The start surprised me, but I felt the switch of wings was important as well - it allowed him a slightly different defensive role, and he adapted very well to that.
"His maturity is excellent. You look at him and he's never in awe of the occasion, he doesn't have any fear of anything, although, to be fair, I don't think the team did. I thought they responded well.
"He's still a work in progress, as we saw at the beginning of the game, but he's still getting stronger and his impact in taking people on, in getting us up the pitch in counter-attacks, was not only huge for the team but the crowd as well. He had a huge impact on the game."
Southgate also praised Alli's performance despite his ill-advised decision to flick his middle finger - something that may well be frowned upon by FIFA.
Irked not to win a free-kick after a collision with Martin Skrtel on the edge of the box, when play was eventually halted TV footage showed the Tottenham midfielder swearing.
Southgate downplayed talk his gesture was aimed at referee Clement Turpin, with Alli claiming instead to have been messing around with Walker.
The England midfielder posted on Twitter: "Just to clarify, the gesture tonight was a joke between me and my good friend Kyle Walker! Apologies for any offence caused! Great win 2nite."
Earlier this year FIFA hit Lionel Messi with a four-match ban for allegedly verbally abusing a match official. The Argentina international served one game and had his suspension overturned on appeal.
Southgate will be hoping to avoid any sanctions - and a repeat of Alli's immaturity.
"I've literally just gone and asked him quickly, so, for me, what it obviously does was detract from probably what was his best performance for us since I've been the manager," he said.
"His work without the ball was top drawer, he really took intelligent positions, pressed them all over and his work with the ball was excellent.
"He looked a real threat, played people in, made fantastic runs in behind the opposition defence, so hopefully we'll be talking about that once everything else is cleared up."

Here is a new video we made on our product Process Street.
We built Process Street to be the best standard operating procedure software on the planet.
Watch the below video to see how it in action:
Click Here to Create a Free Account
Standard Operating Procedure Software
Standard Operating Procedure software is a kind of software that captures and structures your organizations ongoing procedures.
Procedures are generally structured in a format either derived by IOS Standards or designed in house int he company.
SOP Software is a subcategory of Enterprise Content Management or Knowledge Management and is essential for ensuring quality and consistency across an organization.
Common procedures that are documented include:
- Human Resources
- Marketing
- Finance
- Operations
- Manufacturing
There are many tools out there to help you document, capture and track standard operating procedures but the tool we are building goes a step above and beyond.
The Best Standard Operating Procedure Software
Below is a video demo of our software:
The product we have designed is called Process Street and not only does it allows you to easily capture company procedures, but it helps you execute those processes effectively, by turning documents into interactive checklists that you track and report on.
This really is a new way of handling operational documentation which traditionally is stored in flat files like word documents and wikis.
Those traditional tools are clunky and slow, forcing people to drudge through hundreds of pages of static information without breaking it down or making it easily accessible.
Process Street standard operating procedure software is also hosted on the cloud meaning it can be accessed from anywhere, anytime on any device.
Standard Operating Procedure Examples
Below are some example standard operating procedures designed using Process Street

Organizers of the Winter Olympics chose a very to-the-point name for one especially critical program going into the games: "Sochi 2014: Guaranteed Snow."
As Russia makes new efforts to smooth over criticism of its president ahead of the games, an issue still often overlooked is the massive—and expensive—effort to make sure that Sochi, a subtropical beach resort along the shores of the Black Sea, has enough snow to pull off the games in the first place.
It might be natural. It might be man-made. It might even be "used" from last winter. But there will be snow for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics from Feb. 7-23, 2014.
"The Sochi 2014 snow program will guarantee snow, whatever the weather," Mikko Martikainen, CEO of Finnish company Snow Secure, told CNBC. (NBC and its sister networks, including CNBC, will carry broadcasts of the Winter Olympics from Sochi.)

Investigating protein networks and mechanisms that regulate protein trafficking, signalling and organelle function
The Apaja group are investigating the mechanisms that regulate protein trafficking and organelle function and their role in cellular homeostasis, and are unravelling how the endo-lysosomal network dysfunction leads to disease conditions such as neurological disorders and cancers.
The group is focusing on discovering molecular networks that are responsible for protein trafficking at the endo-lysosome-autophagy system and mechanisms maintaining the healthy proteostasis in cells.
An important aspect is to gain a molecular-level understanding of how changes in the organelle function contribute to protein degradation, pH and calcium regulation and signalling events. These combined dynamics regulate protein trafficking between organelles, as well as their degradation or recycling at the endosomal pathway, and are a determining factor in plasma membrane expression levels of membrane proteins. Thus, this balance is monitored by protein quality control machinery surveilling the protein conformers.
The group's aim is to discover mechanisms in organelle regulation in health and disease, and how to therapeutically interfere on organelle and protein trafficking diseases.

So I'm heading out to Utah for my super squee nerd event – Nerdtacular 2012. Between work and getting ready I was once again bad about blogging earlier this week – hopefully the new Art of Subtlety pictures from yesterday (and a few more upcoming Wordless Wednesdays) will make up for it.
But before I left I wanted to share the latest chuckle brought to us by Soapfi!
As mentioned and pictured before, Soapfi loves her vegetables. Especially corn, with corn on the cob making her head almost OMG explode even more than SWINGS!
She loves it so much that she actually chose a side of corn over french fries when we were at Denny's the other day. It was Tuesday so kids eat free, Daddy was playing hockey, Mommy is a crap-tastic cook at the best of times, and Original Grand Slams are on sale for $2.99! I quickly decided – let the world judge, we're eating dinner for about $12 (half of which was the tip because the dude worked hard and it's not his fault we ordered cheap food!), and she gets crayons too! She ate the entire side of corn with unbridled enthusiasm and delight to while singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" between spoonfuls. Which means Mommy actually got dinner AND a show for $12!
Last night Soapfi and Daddy were shucking corn for dinner, Soapfi was *SO* excited about the prospect that when Daddy turned his back, for what he estimated was three minutes, to get more things out of the fridge and put the meatloaf in the oven he came back to the table to find this:
Yep – she had taken a whole bunch of nibbles out of the raw corn, of course she had to sample all three just to make sure they were equally delicious!

Well, I'm saying it, the experiment has failed. I believe Hoffman was brought in here for one major reason and that was to develop a cheap, young kicker. With the Falcons signing veteran Morten Andersen this week, it means that Hoffman's biggest contributing factor to the team has been wasted.
Sure Hoffman's help should make Michael Koenen a better punter. Hoffman helped Koenen last spring before he joined the Falcons and it showed during the 2005 season. But developing Koenen as a punter was a distant secondary duty to finding that diamond in the rough at kicker.
I'm not out to say Hoffman is a crappy coach. But just that his reputation as a "guru" is not reflected in the results on the field. Sure, he has three Super Bowl rings, but I think most would agree those have more to do with the half dozen future Hall of Famers that were on those Cowboy teams than anything Hoffman did.
The situation with signing Morten Andersen is analogous to the team hiring Bill Musgrave to help Vick learn the West Coast offense, and then scrapping Greg Knapp two weeks into the season and deciding to install a different offense.
If Andersen comes out and is great, then most people will agree it's because he still has some mojo left in his 46-year old body. If he sucks, then it will because he's too old. Morten's perceived success will not rest on the shoulders of Steve Hoffman. The team will basically ask him, "Play like you did 10 years ago" and it will be up to Morten to live up to that command, not Hoffman. Although interesting enough, Hoffman was a camp body with the Saints in 1985 when Andersen was entering his 4th year. Hoffman was a punter, so they weren't competing, but they played together one summer. I don't think it has any impact on their potential relationship, just that Andersen was a burgeoning veteran when Hoffman was doing his Tony Yelk thing.
Now, if Morten is cut in a few weeks, and Koenen bounces back and manages to finish the season well, then I'll back off on HOffman. Or if the team finds another young kicker with little to no experience and he comes in and flies away with the job.
But until a young kicker comes in here and looks better than Jay Feely, then I will continue to criticize our guru, Mr. Hoffman.

WINTER IS COMING: Scientists Claim 'COOLING SUN' Could Spark ANOTHER ICE AGE
Climate scientists and environmental activists are backtracking from recent doomsday scenarios predicting the planet's untimely death by overheating; reversing course and now claiming that an "unusually cold Sun" could bring another ice age to the Northern Hemisphere.
A recent study by the University of California San Diego claims the sun will experience a prolonged period of "cooling," drastically reducing the amount of solar radiation and activity reaching the Earth's surface.
The lower temperatures, commonly known as a 'solar minimum,' could spark a deep freeze across large sections of the planet; plunging the Earth into yet another ice age.
"The cooldown would be the result of what scientists call a grand minimum, a periodic event during which the Sun's magnetism diminishes, sunspots form infrequently, and less ultraviolet radiation makes it to the surface of the planet," writes the UC San Diego website.
"The reduced energy from the Sun sets into motion a sequence of events on Earth beginning with a thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer," the author adds. "That thinning in turn changes the temperature structure of the stratosphere, which then changes the dynamics of the lower atmosphere, especially wind and weather patterns."

melting pot: canadian food
>> Tuesday, June 11, 2013 – featured in
What is Canadian food and what kind of restaurant does a Canadian go to when she is homesick?
There are certainly a few Canadian dishes, classics like poutine, butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars, but a Canadian restaurant is another story. As is Canadian cuisine as a whole.
Fffoood.com is a Munich food blog that generously reveals the best restaurants in town. They also run Melting Pot which features interviews with foreigners living in Munich about where they eat when they want to taste the flavours of home. Read about my take on Canadian food and where I find the atmosphere of it here in Munich.

Cookie Gilchrist, a bruising fullback who as one of the American Football League's first star players helped lead the Buffalo Bills to a championship in 1964, has died. He was 75.
Gilchrist died Monday of cancer at an assisted living facility near Pittsburgh, his nephew, Thomas Gilchrist, told the Associated Press.
Gilchrist took stands against racism during his career and wasn't afraid to demand better contracts. In 1965, he was among a group of black players who boycotted the AFL All-Star Game in New Orleans after they weren't allowed into a bar and had difficulty catching taxicabs. The game was eventually moved to Houston.
Gilchrist, at 6 feet 3 and 251 pounds, was the AFL's player of the year in 1962, his first with the Bills. Gilchrist gained 1,096 yards rushing and scored 15 touchdowns, 13 of them rushing. His running style drew comparisons to former Cleveland Browns great Jim Brown.
"Cookie represented an almost revolutionary jump in running backs because of his combination of size and speed," former San Diego Chargers lineman Ron Mix told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 2003.

Google surprised us yesterday with not just a new version of Android, dubbed Android L, but also the announcement of early preview builds to let developers get to grips with the new OS. Today, on the second day of Google I/O, we've finally gotten our hands on the Android L preview for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 and taken it for a spin. And while everything's not quite in place yet — as we'd expect given that we're dealing with pre-release software — it's a promising start for the next version of the OS.
Take a look in our hands-on video after the break.

This month's episode of Dirty Old Bar took a look at Pop's, the 24th Street stalwart that was recently purchased by the owner of Madrone. And oh the things we learned.
"This bar has been around since God was a baby," patron "John" told the folks behind DOB. "I'm talking the '80s and '90s."
Sarcasm aside, he went on to detail how Pop's used to be a Folsom Prison bar where cops and ex-cons used to hang out—and how they setup bales of hay in the back to practice their shot.
Give the whole episode a watch: it's a great look back at one of the neighborhood's most choice holes before renovations hit.
