Century 6, Quatrain 35 of the Book of Nostradums definitively pinpoints the starting point of President Obama's emergence on the scene on his way to becoming The Last Mabus.
The Original Quatrain reads:
Near the bear and near the white wool,
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo,
Mars, Jupiter, the Sun burn over the great plain,
Woods and letters of cities are hidden in the candle.
—Century 6, Quatrain 35. The Book of Notradamus
Here, Notradamus speaks of "Woods" and "letters of cities". This is a reference to the famous Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles, CA.
The European Holly is a tree. Holly (Tree) + Wood = Woods (plural) in the letters of the sign over the city of Los Angeles.
|Holly Tree shown on a Medieval tapestry.
Now, here is my Unscrambled Version of the Quatrain:
The Sun is hidden in the Woods.
A candle burns in the letters over the Cities.
The white wool is near.
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo; Mars and Jupiter,
And the Great Bear is over the plain.
In Part I, we established how Nostradamus related Obama to the Sun and compared the Sun's symbols to Obama's "O" , or Rising Sun, campaign logo.
Therefore, the first line of the Quatrain: "The Sun is hidden in the Woods" is a reference to Obama and the letter "O" in his name and logo.
Due to disrepair, the third letter "O" was missing from the Hollywood Sign until Alice Cooper paid to replace it in 1978. He also helped raise money for the sign's complete restoration.
The newly restored sign was unveiled on Hollywood's 75th anniversary, November 14, 1978, before a live TV audience of 60 million people.
|Unveiling of the restored Hollywood Sign on November 14, 1978.
Notice in the 1978 picture (above) that the Hollywood sign is lit up with bright lights. This matches with Nostradamus' description that "a candle burns" in the letters.
Nostradamus used the event of the "O" being returned to the refurbished Hollywood Sign as a symbol of Obama "The Sun's" arrival in Los Angeles.
Obama moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to attend Occidental College. This was the starting point of the path that would lead him to Harvard and eventually to the presidency of the United States.
This combined historical evidence gives us a late 1978-1979 reference time frame.
The next line of the unscrambled Quatrain is:
The white wool is near.
November 14, 1978 was very near to the end of the calendar year. The following year when Obama arrived in L.A. was 1979, the Chinese Year of the Lamb (Lamb = "White Wool").
The remainder of the unscrambled Quatrain is an astronomical confirmation of the year 1979:
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo; Mars and Jupiter,
And the Great Bear is over the plain.
In these two lines, Nostradamus highlights the importance of the year 1979 by providing the astronomical alignments along the Ecliptic during the rare Triple Conjunction of Mars and Jupiter which begin in that year.
Note: The Ecliptic is the path of the Sun (Sun = Obama).
I plugged the coordinates of Los Angeles into Fourmilab's Sky Map to chart the sky over the city during the Conjunction of Mars and Jupiter that occurred on 12/13/79:
The Ecliptic follows the exact path that Nostradamus indicated. Starting from the right side of the chart (above), it begins in the constellation of Aries, moves through Taurus, Cancer, and Leo, and ends in Virgo on the left side of the chart.
Also, notice that the "Great Bear", Ursa Major, is positioned directly over the Conjunction at the center of the Ecliptic.
In my opinion, Nostradamus was indeed a seer. I believe that through his meditative scrying methods, he was able to tune into high frequency future events in time and visualize them as pictures in his mind.
His Quatrains are descriptions of those mind pictures combined with multiple numerological, astronomical, and historical references to confirm the time frame of his visions.
The unveiling of the Hollywood Sign in November 1978 would have been a particularly high frequency event that year because 60 million people watched it live on TV.
The fact that massive human observance of events can produce frequency anomalies has already been demonstrated by Princeton University's Global Consciousness Project.
Princeton's project observes how human consciousness interacts with random event generators (REGs).
Princeton's project observes how human consciousness interacts with random event generators (REGs).
To illustrate, in the graph (above) output from Princeton's REG network significantly increased in response to global consciousness reactions at the news of Michael Jackson's death.
Basically, I believe that Nostradamus was like a human REG; he was able to tune into spikes in human global consciousness and remotely view scenes from future points in time.

Rabbi Dr. Nosson Dovid (Nathan David) Rabinowich is an esteemed Rabbi from Brooklyn, New York, who has touched the lives of several thousand people through his lectures on Jewish history, his vast writings as well as thirteen-critically acclaimed books.
In 1977, he received his Bachelors degree in Jewish History from the City University of New York. He obtained his first Rabbinic Ordination from Ponevez Yeshivah in Bnei-brak, Israel a year later and his second Rabbinic Ordination from Mesifta Talmudical Seminary in Brooklyn in 1980. That same year he also received a Master of Arts degree from New York University. For the following three years, he was a Research Fellow in Talmudic studies at Mir Talmudical Institute in Jerusalem, Israel. He completed his PhD in Classical Jewish History and Rabbinic Literature from New York University in 1997.
He possesses a unique synthesis of the highest standards of traditional Talmudic scholarship [Lomdus], having studied in the Ponevez and Brisk Yeshivot, combined with expertise as a Jewish historian, specializing in the Geonic and Medieval Periods. With this incredible depth and breadth of knowledge, he brings a unique "kosher" critical approach to Jewish texts. This combination of brilliance and expertise makes Rabbi Dr. Nathan David Rabinowich a sought after speaker and lecturer, and a rare Talmud Chacham in our generation.
Most recently, Rabbi Dr. Nathan David Rabinowich has been working on the creation of this new website, which he is proud to officially launch. Visitors can view the many accomplishments of the Rabbi, read his blog, see published and unpublished articles, read testimonials from other leading Rabbis regarding Rabinowich and browse his photo gallery. Rabbinic testimonials include Shlomo Goren, former Chief Rabbi of Israel who wrote this about Nathan David as a young rabbi:
"I am publicizing with this the tremendous value of the young prodigy, totally sweet and pleasant, young in years but with great capabilities and with diligence in Torah, Nosson David Rabinowich, who has toiled in Torah both in the USA and in Israel and he's attained an excellent level of producing original and deep Talmudic novellae. I have had both long and short discussions with him in our great House of Study, ""Kommemiyut Avraham"" in various subjects, in Talmud and the Authorities, and have clearly seen that he possesses great depth, has a very logical mind and is an expert and knowledgeable in many Talmudie topics. With God's help, if he will continue his diligence at the ""doors of Torah"", he will certainly be a great Torah scholar and have much fear of God. With a blessing to ""go up and be successful"" and glorify the Torah and the nation."
Aside from his own academic career, Rabinowich has also spent countless hours in college classrooms as an instructor. In 1982, he worked as an instructor of Talmudic studies at Bar-Illan University. At Ahavath Torah Institute in Brooklyn, he was the Dean and Rabbi from 1992-2013. At Brooklyn College in 2008, he was an instructor of Medieval Jewish History. At Fordham University and Hofstra University, he was adjunct instructor of Talmudic studies from 2008-2010. In his spare time he enjoys teaching Real Estate courses to aspiring professionals.
As former CEO and Scholar in Residence for Jewish Heritage Tours (JHT), he successfully managed and led Glatt Kosher Tours in Africa, Canada and Western Europe, providing participants with the experiences of a lifetime.
Most recently, Rabbi Dr. Nathan David Rabinowich has been working as the Executive Director of JHT in Brooklyn. He is excited to announce this online venture, which reflects all of his past accomplishments while creating opportunities to reach and inspire others.

For 23 years since the tragic events of Hillsborough that cost 96 Liverpool fans their lives, have been hidden from the light, the truth was hidden by those trying to cover for their own mistakes and late last year when the Hillsborough Independent Panel report was made public it allowed the truth that the 96 were truly victims of a very tragic event. It doesn't matter if you are a Liverpool fan, a fan of soccer/football, when the truth is hidden from people, when lies are told about the victims of a crime it impacts everyone.
Now 24 years later, the truth is known about the events of April, 15th 1989 and while it cannot bring back those who lost their lives, it can provide a bit of closure, a little easing of the pain they have suffered for decades, now the fight can truly be for justice for those who lost their lives and for their families. It is amazing to see how a city, which is most days divided by football, comes together on this issue to provide support to the families, on this day red or blue matters not, but on this day the people of Liverpool are one united in the search for Justice for the 96.
For me I remember watching the news coverage of the tragedy here in the States and wondering how such a tragic event could happen. I had been to sporting events a various venues both in the US and in Europe, and at no time have I ever felt unsafe. Yet the changes that came about as a result of the Hillsborough tragedy at venues around the globe have probably saved many lives, one is still left wondering how things could have gone so wrong on that day. I was already a soccer fan, and while it would be almost a decade before Major League Soccer would kick off, and 5 years before the US hosted the World Cup, the events of that day and the reaction of the Liverpool families and fans in their fight for justice and the truth, are a large part of what has made me a Liverpool fan. I remember last summer as I made a trip to see Liverpool play in Baltimore, how proud I was of US based fans to pay homage to the 96 in sign and song:
It reminds me that often football goes far beyond just being fans, and as so many of us know here in Salt Lake, you club becomes a part of your family.
If you care to know more about what happened, or how the families and fans continue to fight for justice for those lost, check out the Liverpool site.
That's How I See It

A very simple recipe for spaghetti carbonara, I love this recipe as it's quick and you usually have all these ingredients in the fridge!
Serves 4 portions.
250g spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 slices of bacon/pancetta (can be smoked)
1 onion diced
1 clove of garlic minced
1 egg per person
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
In a large pot of boiling water cook the spaghetti until al dente.
Whilst the pasta is cooking, in a large skullet cook the chopped bacon, diced onion and minced garlic on a medium heat until bacon is crispy and onion is translucent. A small amount of white wine can be added at this stage but is optional. If added cook for 1 minute.
Beat the eggs then add the grated cheese to the mixture add plenty of black pepper, salt can be added but make sure you taste as the bacon and Parmesan are quite salty. A small quantity of cream can be added an optional.
Drain the spaghetti and place in the skillet with the bacon,onion and garlic.Then add the egg mixture, tossing constantly until the heat of the spaghetti cooks the eggs.
Serve immediately with chopped parsley sprinkled on top for garnish.

I am not the luckiest girl at charlotte London escorts, and when it comes to love, I tend to hook up with the wrong guys a lot. For some reason, I often end up with guys who are serial cheaters. That does not do a lot for me at all, and to be fair, I doubt very much I am the only girl at London escorts this happening to. I wish that we had some more time on our hands to talk about our dating or boyfriend experiences at charlotte London escorts, but that does not really seem to be happening at all.
Cheating is the main cause of breakups, and it is more and more common. Long term relationships used to be really in, but for some reason, most people do not get involved with longer relationships these days. Cheating, or having a fling, seem to be more and more common. What really matters is how you handle the situation, and what you do about it. Many of my friends at London escorts just break up with the guy right away, but I am not sure that is the thing to do at all. It can be tough to hang on to a guy when you work for a London escorts and I think you just have to deal with that.
So, why do guys cheat? When I speak to the guys I have been dating during my London escorts career, many of them cheat because they do not feel that get enough of my time, or they are jealous of the gentlemen I date at London escorts. I totally get that and I do understand, but how would they feel if the shoe was on the other foot. It cannot be fun to sit there and wait for me to come home from London escorts, but at the same time, things could be the other way around.
I have been in relationships where I have been hanging around waiting for the guy to come home, and I have never thought about cheating because of a guy being busy at work. As a matter of fact. I have always been flexible and happy to accommodate his lifestyle. Guys men not think about things like that, and that is when I think things go really wrong. Most guys I meet at London escorts seem to get very jealous of their partners, and they claim this is why the cheat.
How do you deal with the situation? I have not always dumped a guy for cheating on me once. However, if the guy turns out to be a serial cheater, I know that it is not very likely he will ever be able to handle me working for London escorts. In that case, it is much easier for me to just dump the guy and move on. But trying to find out why your guy is cheating does help. Sometimes we carry on making the same relationship mistakes all of the time, and unless we correct our own mistakes, we can help others to correct theirs.

Bobby Adair
Bobby Adair is an incredibly intelligent, incredibly witty and sarcastic pain in the ass. He fancies himself as a hermit and introvert, but he has a personality that is more entertaining and social than he'd like to admit. However, that doesn't stop him from believing that he's this bitter old curmudgeon who has to put up this facade to the world. He seems to be entertained by that . . . maybe that's just the life of a writer.
He has been a prolific and popular writer. Have a look here at what has come out of his mind and computer.
And here are some of the books that I have helped make it to the publisher:

6/9/12 Saturday
I am 56 years old now. Cherie reminded me I had a birthday yesterday and I had to ask her how old I was because that is one of those little blanks my mind has, remembering how old I am. Oh, I know approximately how old I am but am often off a year or two. It really isn't important to me, birthdays or how old I am, but it is hard to believe that in just 4 years I will be 60. All in all I am amazed I made it this far, considering all the times I almost did not and how I walked on the edge of the precipice for so many of those years. But I am blessed today in so many ways. I am blessed to have my marriage with Cherie so miraculously restored and I am blessed to have my faith in God also restored. In those miracles of life there have been so many attacks of negativity as well, often by those whom we trusted and looked up to. We have learned to overcome these negatives, to refuse to allow a root of bitterness to come in. There has been anger at the blatant hypocrisy of the ones who talk of God but only walk their talk when it is convenient. But that anger has quickly turned to great sadness because we understand that we all will kneel before the judgment seat of God and must answer to Him for what we have done. There are so many who have hardened their hearts and stiffened their necks in their pride and arrogance, and are apparently totally unaware of the danger they are in, or at least refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing. Caring more for what people around them think than for what God almighty, who sees the darkest thoughts of their hearts, will say on that final day we all must face.
I had another stark reminder of the continuing struggles with my brain injury yesterday. While looking for the sickle I had sharpened to harvest wheat with I found a box that had long since been covered with other stuff. "What is that?" I wondered as I opened it. It was a box of drip irrigation parts and also a device to feed fertilizer and the bacteria that eats the salt and mineral deposits that comes with our hard water into our water system. The date on the invoice I found was October 2011 so the box has been here a while.
Once again I had totally forgotten about its existence and in fact was frustrated because so many areas of my drip irrigation were damaged and I did not have the parts needed to repair them. We had finally received some funds from that job securing homes for banks and I was just going to order these parts. Come to find out they had been here for nine months and long forgotten about. I know that many people we share with say "we have that problem too" because everyone forgets something now and then, but with me it is a serious and constant, even daily, problem that effects nearly every aspect of my life. But then I remember other things clearly and seem unable to forget them.
On television there is a big stink being made about a guy on one of those music reality contest shows. He has made claims concerning being wounded in combat in Afghanistan and perhaps Iraq, which, according to military records, are evidently not true. As I watched the many stories and interviews with and about this man I recognize instantly the effects of a traumatic brain injury. The one thing that shows on his military record is that he did suffer a blast injury while overseas. One of the common problems that comes with TBI is that often there are blanks in the memories and it is not unusual for the victim to fill those blanks with memories that are not factually correct. So while all these media people and others scream about this guy being a liar they are missing the fact that this is a common problem with TBI survivors. If you go to LA Publishing's website you can find many stories in their forum of survivors that have had this problem. This can be an opportunity to help others understand the problems that come with a traumatic brain injury but so far it is being used to vilify the poor guy.
I have been harvesting wheat and have lots of it to get to. This is a slow painful process as I use a small hand sickle to cut a little at a time. It requires me to bend low to cut it close to the ground, rough on a bad back. One of these days I will have machinery to help me do this. Meantime I do the best I can with what I have. I am still not sure how to thresh this wheat, how to go about knocking the seeds out of the heads of wheat. Have been looking at the stuff laying all around to see if there is something I can use to create a threshing device. The lawnmower worked ok on the rye because it was only ten or twelve inches tall but this wheat is three feet tall so quite a different problem. I will run the mower over the wheat just to see what happens but don't have a lot of confidence in that methodology. There is the big brush hog that hooks up to my tractor. It has some possibilities if I can figure out a way to capture the seed. I am debating making something with a fan blade and feeding the wheat into it slowly by hand as well. It is one thing to grow a crop but does no good if I am unable to harvest it.
Will be another 100 plus degree day so enough writing. I will go out and cut wheat while it is still somewhat cool out. Gotta go.
1:26 – Came in for lunch. Cherie fixed Kale and apples with stuff she got from the Bountiful Baskets program we participate in. They have lots of good fresh farm produce for great prices. We are working on being more healthy with what we eat so this works good. I don't think I have ever had kale before but it is full of good stuff.
I cut myself pretty good (or bad I suppose would be the right way to say it) with the hand sickle I am using to cut wheat with. I keep it real sharp with Cherie's knife sharpener as I cut so it didn't take much to take a bite out of my finger. No big deal to me, just an inconvenience to run to the house and bandage it up, but it sure didn't make Cherie happy. However Cherie has toughened up remarkably since we moved to Texas and this once would have thrown her into a panic tizzy.
This picture shows the results of about two hours of working on the wheat. Not a lot of progress, especially when you consider how much there is left to do. I saw a video on you tube as I researched ways to harvest and thresh wheat that showed a guy using a scythe to cut wheat. You know, one of those grim reaper kinds of scythes. Pretty impressive as I watched him make gentle effortless strokes and at the end of each one the wheat was laid down in a neat little pile. It would be nice to have one of those for sure. I wonder how hard it would be to make one. Sure would make this job go a lot quicker. I so look forward to the time we have more resources available to farm and live with. God will provide but until then I think we are being tested and trained for what is to come.
Well, my break time is over and I have lots of work to do, always. Time to get back into the heat and to work.

"You can't manage what you can't see" is a popular saying in the network industry. Historically, it's been used for traditional network management, with the thought being that one can't fix a problem on the network without having visibility into the applications, traffic flows, and infrastructure.
Recently, though, the meaning of that phrase has changed as "shadow IT" has become increasingly popular. Shadow IT is when lines of business or individual users purchase their own cloud services without any involvement in IT. The problem today is very real. An interesting data point to support this comes from a ZK Research report that showed that 96% of organizations claim to be running cloud applications that are not sanctioned by IT (disclosure: I am an employee of ZK Research).
I also find that the magnitude of the problem that IT departments are dealing with is much greater than anyone realizes. I worked with several companies last year that did audits to discover how many cloud applications were being accessed by employees, and in every case, the estimation by IT was off by an order of magnitude. The extreme case was from a CIO that guessed there were about 30 cloud services procured via shadow IT, but in actuality there were more than 600.
This week, Cisco launched a new service to help IT deal with this challenge. Cisco's Cloud Consumption as a Service (CCaaS, not to be confused with contact center as a service) is geared to help small and midsize businesses discover and monitor the use of public cloud services across the company (disclosure: Cisco is a client of ZK Research).
The service will sell for a mere $1 to $2 per user per month, depending on the number of employees, and will be available through Cisco resellers so the IT department can procure it through the same avenue it buys all of its other Cisco gear from.
Unlike some of the other cloud discovery tools that just provide the name of the service, Cisco's CCaaS includes analytics, benchmarking, security risks, and Dun and Bradstreet information to give an indication of the financial stability of the cloud service provider.
Armed with the right information, IT can make better decisions on what to do with the cloud services. For example, if the company discovers that a large number of users are all paying for a certain service on a personal credit card and expensing it back to the company, the organization could approach the cloud provider about a discount for volume purchasing.
A real-life example, provided by Cisco, is CityMD, an urgent care organization with 50 facilities across New York and New Jersey. Using the CCaS service, CityMD found employees were using over 500 cloud services, with IT only supporting 15 to 20. The service provided the organization with full visibility into cloud usage, enabling it to make an informed decision about the services that are right for it and what the risks are. The doctors want fast results so they turned to the cloud, but with the information of cloud usage at their disposal the IT department can be a more effective partner to the business groups. Now the doctors can have the services they want, and IT can ensure the appropriate security and compliance measures are in place.
Shadow IT is here to stay, and it is now a reality that all enterprises need to learn to deal with. How an organization responds depends on the level of risk it is willing to take. The new CCaaS service from Cisco gives the IT department the right information to make an informed decision.

Kelsey Grammer will star in this semi-staged concert production as Don Quixote and as his faithful servant Sancho Panza.
Miguel de Cervantes, failed playwright, poet and tax collector, has been thrown in jail by the Spanish Inquisition for daring to tax a monastery.
Awaiting trial Cervantes is hailed before a kangaroo court of his fellow prisoners; thieves, cutthroats and trollops who propose to confiscate his meagre possessions one of which is the uncompleted manuscript of a novel called "Don Quixote." Cervantes, seeking to save it, proposes to offer a novel defence in the form of entertainment.
As Cervantes and his servant transform into Don Quixote & Sancho Panza, his wild imagination leads them into a campaign to restore the age of chivalry, to battle evil and right all wrongs.

|Previously On MGoBlog
|Hello post from Ace. We have a "release the McCrayken" tag.
|UA game. Trotwood Madison (Roundtree, Moore, Shaw). Urban is still on him hard. #63 to Lemming.
Junior year:
Senior highights are on hudl.
Mike McCray's dad was a captain for Ohio State back in the day, and now he'll play for the other side of the rivalry. Anyone who remembers Anthony Gonzalez—a Michigan legacy who ended up at OSU, murdering Michigan—gives this development two thumbs up, especially when it comes with a side of "whoops" on Urban Meyer's part.
Meyer futzed around too long for the younger McCray's taste and Brady Hoke was after him hard for reasons of talent and middle fingers, so he dropped for M in March. Urban whiffed on some targets, came back hat (and offer) in hand a couple months later, and said pretty please. McCray didn't waver. But Urban is still on him hard.
Michigan has acquired a consensus four-star linebacker who is just outside the top 100 on three of the four sites, with Scout the primary, mild skeptic. McCray's main assets are size and smarts. At a strapping 230-ish as a high schooler, McCray should have no problem adding the ten or fifteen pounds he'll require to fend off tight ends and rush the passer as a strongside linebacker.
To go with that he's got great bloodlines and a ton of experience after playing nearly every snap on both sides of the ball for Trotwood the past three years, all of them at the positions he projects to (TE and LB) in college. Rivals had him in their top 50($) when he committed largely because he was one of the best players on the field in Trotwood's state title win:
At 6-4 and 220 pounds, McCray is one of the best playmaking defenders I have seen this year. He is always around the football, always playing at 100 miles per hour and never tiring despite going both ways. …his combination of size, athleticism and playmaking ability should ensure a long career in football. … can add strength and definition to his body in the weight room this off-season, which should also improve what is already pretty good speed. If he takes another step forward with off-season preparation, McCray is going to be scary good a year from now.
He was not scary good, and moved down. He was just very good, which was not enough to offset an indifferent camp season in Rivals' eyes.
Overall, scouting reports are mixed, leaving two questions.
Question number one: how big is this dude? Heights and weights for high school recruits are haphazard and inaccurate, and McCray's are all over the place. For a guy who may or may not project to the SAM spot, it's a big deal if he's 6'4" (the maximum) or 6'1", which he apparently measured in at during the Rivals Five Star Challenge($):
McCray doesn't have the build of a player who is going to excel in a passing-oriented camp (especially one without pads), but he showed that he had the ability to cover tight ends and running backs out of the backfield. He doesn't have the quickest feet among the linebackers at the Five-Star Challenge, but still manages to get the job done. He measured in at just 6-1 on Friday - much smaller than expected - but had a strong performance today.
Meanwhile here's McCray with an inch or two on Ben Gedeon, who may not be all of the 6'2" he's listed at but probably isn't 5'11", either.
Other places he's 6'2", sometimes 6'3", often 6'4". The average of all guesses is about 6'3", which I've listed above. For what it's worth, McCray told Scout Michigan was recruiting him at "inside linebacker," which I assume means either MLB or WLB. One glance at the depth chart and that picture with Gedeon suggests a change of plans as soon as fall camp rolls around, if that is in fact the plan right now.
Question two: how are his coverage skills? McCray is alternately praised and criticized for his ability to drop back. ESPN thinks he's the balls, saying he "has the versatility to play all three positions" in a traditional 4-3 and, well:
… tall, well-built with good, lean bulk and the frame to add more. Runs well on both sides of the ball and offers a lot of range. … very aware and smart football player which allows him to play fast. Makes lot of plays in coverage and in space. He may be more instinctive dropping back than coming forward, which is rare at this stage. He gets depth in his drop quickly, while reading the QB and feeling routes develop. He anticipates the pass, turns to run without much wasted motion and closes with good burst on the ball. Undercuts routes and has great ball skills. He shows the size and athleticism needed to match up on flexed tight ends in man-to-man. Will fill strong between the tackles as well. … He shows the lateral quicks and agility to clear traffic and make plays inside-out on the ball between the tackles, and the good range to make stops outside the hashes. Pursues with a motor. He's quick to fill downhill. … a great frame and matching athleticism and football smarts. He's ahead of the curve with his diagnosing skill and understanding of the game, which should allow for a smoother transition to the college level.
They want him to improve his explosiveness when he contacts ballcarriers and be more of an impact hitter; that's their only criticism.
Here it should be noted that ESPN's scouting is much more game-film heavy than most of the other sites, and McCray is a pads-on kind of guy. He attended The Opening but was sufficiently anonymous there that I could only find one minor comment about him:
Mike McCray II (Trotwood, Ohio/Trotwood-Madison) is tall and looks great off the hoof, he's probably better suited between the tackles and going upfield.
On the other hand, McCray was the linebacker MVP for last year's Columbus NFTC because he could cover guys out of the backfield:
He was able to go stride-for-stride with all but the quickest tailbacks there, and showed the ability to not only blanket a receiver, but make plays on the ball as well. In edge-rush drills, he showed the ability to overpower running backs and tight ends, but also a quickness to go around them that's uncommon in a player his size.
On yet another hand, Rivals's Tim Sullivan wrote the above but also had a few articles in which he gave McCray a "meh" during the summer…
McCray had his share of won reps on Saturday, but also lost his share. He moved a little bit better than expected in drills, but also measured in at just 6-1. …
Stock report: Down
…and (on probably a foot or a table someone grafted onto my face) was considerably more impressed once the pads went on for that uber-high-school-football event in Cincinnati that keeps changing its name. McCray was ill enough to miss most of the first half, and yet:
…looks night-and-day more fluid wearing shoulder pads. He was solid in coverage (another question he didn't answer this summer), though he did miss a couple assignments. …
Where McCray really made his mark, however, was pressuring the quarterback. Though he's a bigger linebacker, he's capable of finding small creases in the offensive line to exploit on the blitz. He was constantly harassing University's quarterback, including a few knockdowns and stripping the quarterback of the ball on one occasion. If that skillset sounds familiar, it should: he has a very similar game to starting Michigan linebacker Jake Ryan at this time.
Helmholdt's take from the same event calls him "not flashy" but praises his "exceptional instincts," which doesn't sound like Jake Ryan even a little bit. 247 said he "looked explosive rushing the passer." You see what I am saying about the mixed reports.
Elsewhere in mixed reports, McCray had a strong performance($) in Trotwood's most recent state title win thanks to his range but needs to work on his ability to shed…
… nine tackles in the first half. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound McCray was making plays all over the field, showing his range and ability to diagnose plays. … one of the most instinctual linebackers in the country, and he simply gets the job done. He needs to bulk up his upper body, though, which will help him get better at shedding blockers.
…and also struggles to change direction and is awesome at shedding blockers:
Shedding Ability
Tackling Technique
Change of Direction
Physical size allows McCray to take on and defeat a block with the ability to step up and fill the hole. Struggles with hip turn and foot quickness, however, natural instincts put him in position to make plays.
So. McCray is large, has an advanced understanding of the game, needs to be little more violent, and may or may not have the kind of agility you'd like to see in someone who's going to try to cover guys downfield. Probably.
Finally, this is the section on recruiting profile where the kid's coach speaks rapturously about his character.
"He is not only one of the best kids we've ever had as a person, but he is the best athlete I've ever coached. He can play anywhere on the field you need him to play. You want the younger kids in your program to be like Mike McCray. He doesn't say a whole lot, but you know he's around, just by his presence."
"As a football player, he is a kid that will do whatever his coach asks him to do, and you love guys like that," he added. "…. He works his butt off, in the weight room, in the classroom, and on the football field. I love the kid like he's one of my own."
A pattern emerges.
Etc.: First team All Ohio in DII as a junior. 3.2 GPA. Back-to-back state title winner. Twitter. Dayton Area DPOY with 121 tackles. Tremendous alert!
"I honestly think that he'll be a tremendous linebacker at the next level," his coach said. "He'll be a Will or Sam for somebody because he can run and change directions, and get in and out of the breaks like they want him to."
McCray was picked for the Under Armor game but underwent surgery for a torn labrum and missed the game. He should be full-go by fall camp. He in fact played with the injury his entire senior year because he would have missed that year if he'd had surgery. Toughness: check.
Why Victor Hobson? Hobson was a touted recruit who developed into a long-term starter at SAM despite being a 6'1" guy who put up a 4.86 at the NFL combine; said NFL still drafted him in the second round and kept him around for five years because:
Quick thinker who immediately reads or anticipates the action, scrapes well laterally and redirects to the action. Breaks down well playing with leverage, effectively uses his hands to stay off blocks and goes sideline to sideline working to make a play. Disciplined, reads the QB and gets depth on his pass drops. Stays on his feet and finds his way through the traffic to the ball carrier.
As an NFL prospect his physical skills were "deficient"; for Michigan he was just fine because he could play over the tight end.
McCray is bigger and may be a bit more athletic, or he might lack the kind of explosion the NFL craves, I don't know, man. As a guy who projects to play SAM by using his brain faster than everyone else, Hobson's a better pick than, say, lunatic Jake Ryan.
Guru Reliability: Uh… well, they're all in the same range, basically, and McCray was a high profile guy who went to a lot of camps on a heavily scouted team. So why the pants can't anyone agree on his strengths? I dunno. Purple. That's my answer.
Variance: Moderate. Size issue plus potential he's an awkward fit at ILB could leave him a man without a position. Some bust factor. On the other hand, mentally advanced.
Ceiling: Moderate-plus. The vibe I get from the conflicting reports is that McCray is not going to be a sower of doom and chaos on the college level. Athleticism a slight issue.
General Excitement Level: Oh hell, I don't know. I feel torn between the idea that McCray will top out as a guy who is a blue collar SAM who doesn't make many plays—the Craig Roh of SAM—and people above saying he will be the McCrayken:
I'm going moderate. And purple.
Projection: Like Gedeon, could redshirt since he's got a solid, veteran two-deep in front of him even without the presence of Jake Ryan for the first half of the season. Also like Gedeon, could be dragooned into special teams. In this case that might be okay since Gordon is a senior and the coaches keep saying they will move Brennen Beyer back to WDE, leaving only a senior Ryan, McCray, and whatever freshman they bring in at the spot. You might want to blood that guy.
Long term, he's got two years to develop before he'll be in a battle for a starting job. When that battle comes around he'll have an experience edge. Two years as a starter seem likely.

Although primarily known for hitting, the team that would come to be called the New York Yankees has had some great pitchers. Hall of Famers Jack Chesbro, Waite Hoyt, Herb Pennock and Red Ruffing were all first-class hurlers. The triumvirate of Eddie Lopat, Vic Raschi and Allie Reynolds were mainstays for the five consecutive titles posted by the 1949-1953 Bronx Bombers. And the Chairman of the Board, Whitey Ford, was one of the great money pitchers of all time, posting a .690 winning percentage. And the great Mariano Rivera is, well, the great Mariano Rivera.
For today's blog I would like to highlight one of the funniest, most lovable, most quotable pitchers to ever wear the pinstripes — Lefty Gomez.
Vernon Louis Gomez was born in 1908 in Rodeo, California. He would live for more eight decades before he died in Greenbrae, California.
He was blessed with a full life. He would marry a Broadway star, June O'Dea, with whom he would have four children. He would play baseball with the incomparable Babe Ruth, joke with Lou Gehrig and run interference for Joe DiMaggio when the Yankee Clipper wanted to be left alone. He would put up pitching numbers which would lead to enshrinement into the Hall of Fame in 1972. And he could make people laugh.
Consider these seasonal/career statistics:
- A won-loss record of 189-102
- A lifetime winning percentage of .649
- A lifetime ERA of 3.34
- Four seasons of 20+ victories
- Two seasons leading the league in victories
- Three seasons leading the league in strikeouts
- 173 complete games
- 28 shutouts
- A lifetime WHIP of 1.352
- 0.5 home runs allowed per 9 innings
- A strikeout-to-walk ratio of 1.34
Now let's take a look at his World Series numbers:
- Five rings in five World Series appearances
- A won-loss record of 6-0, the best of all time
- An ERA of 2.86
- A WHIP of 1.311
- 0.4 home runs allowed per nine innings
- A strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.07
For good measure, his All-Star record indicates that he started five of the first six MidSummer Classics and posted a 3-1 record in these games.
Finally, here are a few of Gomez's more famous quotes:
- Speaking to Gehrig, "Hell, Lou, it took 15 years to get you out of a game. Sometimes I'm out in fifteen minutes."
- "I want to thank my teammates who scored so many runs, and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes."
- "I'd rather be lucky than good."
- "Jimmie Foxx has muscles in his hair."
- "I talked to the ball a lot of times in my career. I yelled, 'Go foul. Go foul.'"
- "I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year, when I was backing out of the garage."
- "I'm throwing as hard as I ever did, but the ball is just not getting there as fast."
- "No one hit home runs the way Babe Ruth did. They were something special. They were like homing pigeons. The ball would leave the bat, pause briefly, suddenly gain its bearings and then take off for the stands."

Country stars offer solemn tribute to Route 91 victims at Grammys
Country music stars Eric Church, Maren Morris, and Brothers Osborne gathered together to stun the crowd at the 2018 Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Jan. 28), delivering an emotional tribute to the victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting on Oct. 1, 2017.
Morris, who was up for Best Country Solo Performance that night, ushered in the performance with a few pointed comments about the gun tragedies that took place in 2017.
"A few months earlier and a continent away, the same was true in Manchester, England," she said, referring to the violent episode at Ariana Grande's show on May 22, 2017. "The painful truth is that this year, in just those two events, 81 music lovers just like us went out to enjoy a night of music, and never came back home, with many more injured and still healing.
"So, tonight, to honor those we lost, Eric, Brothers Osborne and I, who all performed in Las Vegas that tragic weekend, wanted to come together to honor the memory of the beautiful, music-loving souls so cruelly taken from us."
All four of the artists on stage then launched into a subdued version of Eric Clapton's 1991 hit, "Tears in Heaven," which he famously wrote to cope with the accidental death of his 4-year-old son.
Morris, the Osbornes, and Church were among the performers at Las Vegas's Route 91 Harvest Festival, where a shooting rampage began during Jason Aldean's headlining set on the third and final night of the festival, when a gunman firing into the audience killed 58 people and left more than 700 wounded.
Morris released a song called "Dear Hate" in the wake of the mass shooting and donated the proceeds to charity, while Church also wrote a tribute song called "Why Not Me." The incident touched the country music community profoundly, even drawing controversy surrounding the annual Country Music Association Awards, which initially said that it would not allow the media to ask questions about the shooting, but later reversed that restriction.
The 60th annual Grammy Awards took place in New York City on Jan. 28.

You can afford to go to college.
If you're admitted to Penn, you can graduate without the burden of unmanageable student loan debt. By promising to replace loans with grants, which do not need to be repaid, for students from families with incomes below $50,000, Penn is taking the lead with other elite universities to address growing concern about student debt and ensure their doors are open to all qualified students.
While we celebrate Penn's announcement, we must recognize that very few public universities or community colleges - schools that educate most of our nation's students - can afford to do the same. More and more students and families take out loans, and student debt burden is an increasing problem.
Nationwide, two-thirds of all students now graduate with student loan debt, compared with less than half in the early 1990s.
The average debt has risen by more than 50 percent in the last decade, even after inflation. In our own back yard, more than 70 percent of graduates from Drexel, La Salle, Lincoln, Penn State-University Park, Philadelphia University, Temple and Widener now leave school with debt exceeding the national average.
Moreover, these sobering numbers still do not tell the story of lost opportunity for students or society. They don't describe the young people who forgo college or drop out to avoid going into debt. Or those who can't afford to take vitally important jobs as teachers, social workers, nurses and journalists because their loan debts are too large.
The numbers don't tell of home purchases deferred or retirement funds that don't get started or shrink when they should be growing in order to pay off student loans. A college education should strengthen family security, not put the financial future of so many individuals and families at risk.
To be sure, higher education is crucial to our nation's economic competitiveness. A college graduate will, on average, earn $1 million more over a lifetime than a high school graduate. Better-educated young people contribute more to the tax base and are more likely to vote and to volunteer.
America desperately needs well-educated citizens to teach the next generation, serve in our police forces, start new businesses and care for the sick. But while college can give students more tools and options for work and life, it shouldn't cost families their economic security.
At The Pew Charitable Trusts, we have been working to identify affordable, common-sense solutions.
One option is to limit student debt payments to no more than 10 percent of a person's annual income so that young people who take important but lower-paying jobs don't face unmanageable payment expectations.
Another is to improve provisions to ensure that young people facing economic hardship, such as that caused by a lost job or major medical crisis, won't find their credit ratings destroyed if they can't make their payments.
Families today face extraordinary financial challenges on many fronts - health care, housing, retirement and college education. And, ironically, it is precisely the strong earning potential from a college degree that can make those challenges manageable.
It's time to help. Penn is taking a leadership role in recruiting talented, low-income students and ensuring that they can start their lives without crushing student loan debt.
But, as a nation, we still have a long way to go to make that possibility available to all students.
Rebecca W. Rimel is President and CEO of The Pew Charitable Trusts, which funds the Project on Student Debt.

Car accident injuries are often misunderstood, frequently leaving accident victims out in the dark, with years of pain and misery.
Don't let this happen to you! The decisions you make, can change your life forever! Continue reading to discover what your insurance company doesn't want you to know…
Keep reading this urgent health bulletin… it may be the most important thing you read this year! Why? Because what's about to be revealed can save you from years of pain suffering, even arthritis. A local doctor is finally blowing the whistle and revealing to the public the nasty truth about hidden car accident injuries no one wants you to know about!
So if you've recently been involved in an auto accident, chances are you've felt a little soreness, or maybe you've been in great pain. If you went to your family doctor, or even the emergency room, you were probably told something along the lines of "it's probably just a sprain or strain, take these pills and call me in the morning."
If you're in pain, all the pills in the world will never get rid of a hidden injury!
The truth about pain relievers is that they never go after the REAL cause of your pain. They work by disabling your body's ability to perceive pain, just like plugging your nose keeps you from smelling something foul. But as soon as you take your hand away from your nose, the smell is still there!
What makes these hidden injuries more dangerous is they often start small and slowly progress to the point where you may feel disabled. So that small throbbing pain you feel today can come back with a vengeance a month, year, or even 10 years down the road!
What your doctor doesn't know about these hidden injuries CAN hurt you!
No matter if you go to the Emergency Room or to your family doctor, odds are whoever you'll be talking to doesn't have a clue about these soft tissue injuries! You see, back in Med school, MDs were never taught how to detect these injuries. Because of this, they often make incorrect diagnoses and try to treat these injuries by covering up your symptoms with medication, physical therapy, and even surgery.
And, while these treatments are going on, you'll only feel worse and worse because they aren't meant to fix your problem in the first place.
As a result of their car accidents, every year millions of Americans suffer needlessly and do not get the proper care and cash settlements they deserve!
Insurance companies also have a dirty little secret… they know sometimes you can't feel a hidden injury until a week or a month after your accident. That's why they want you to settle your case as quickly as possible while you still feel okay! This way, they don't have to pay for your treatments! And, when your injury finally cripples you with pain, they leave you to foot the bill for treatment yourself!

Weekly word count: 4100
Finally back above 4000 words in a week!
It was much harder than I expected. My creative brain seems to have run dry and would much rather watch Penny Dreadful on CraveTV than write. But, like a primed pump, things seem to be flowing smoother each time I make myself sit down to the keyboard.
My life disruption has definitely cost me. Normally at this time of year, I would be about halfway through a second or third draft of my manuscript. Right now, I'm still in the early chapters of my second draft. I'm hoping that maybe I'll still be able to make a September deadline but realistically, it may be later than that.
While I'm disappointed about the delay, I'm also accepting the fact that I needed that time to cope with life and get myself physically recovered. As much as I would like to be a superhero and only need a commercial break or end credits to get back to normal, I'm human and I need time.
I'm grateful that my head is finally getting back into the lalassu world and is ready to share stories again.

Glenmary Elects New Leadership, Completes 15th General Chapter
June 2011
"Alive with the fire of the Holy Spirit, the Glenmary Home Missioners go out to rural and small-town U.S.A., where the Catholic Church is not yet effectively present, proclaiming and witnessing to the Good News of Jesus Christ and the power of God's love, mercy and justice transforming the world!"
—Glenmary's Mission Statement from the 1985 General ChapterGlenmary's 15th General Chapter was held June 6-17, 2011. The general chapter meeting is part of the legislative branch of government of our religious society. It occurs every four years in order for us to gather as a whole—Glenmarians, students and lay coworkers—and discuss the needs of the missions and the society. During this time, we also elected a new leadership team for Glenmary—a president and two vice presidents.
Other communities might use the terms superior general and vicar general, but since we are a community founded in the United States to serve U.S. missions, we have chosen to use terms that reflect our culture. Our outgoing president, Father Dan Dorsey, who has served two terms in this position, will become our novice director and teach students in this important second year of their formation.
Our election process started on June 6 with a three-day retreat led by Father Paul Prabell, a diocesan priest from Morehead, Ky. He guided us through many reflections on what it means to be a missioner and gave us ample time to listen to the movement of the Spirit as we prepared for the elections. After the retreat ended, we had two days of discussions followed by the elections of our new Executive Council.
I am excited that we have elected Father Chet Artysiewicz to become the seventh president of Glenmary Home Missioners. Father Neil Pezzulo and Brother Jack Henn were elected to the positions of first vice president and second vice president, respectively. We believe and trust that the Holy Spirit guided us in our decisions, and we pray for these men whose leadership will inspire us the next four years.
After the installation Mass for the new council, we shifted our focus to the concerns of the missions and the needs of the community. We discussed with excitement the needs of the three new missions in eastern Tennessee that will be opened this summer, areas where the Catholic Church has never been present before. At this writing, though, there was still no word on who among us will be assigned to these mission areas where all of us would love to serve. As our founder, Father William Howard Bishop, said in 1952: "Trials of mission life are exaggerated—all of our men love it. I would prefer to be there myself, but some of us are doomed to stay at home."
We also discussed the needs of the missions in Mississippi and other places that are scheduled to be turned back to the care of their respective dioceses. As missioners we are called to serve a short time in these areas and then return them to the direction of the local bishops. Father Bishop also said that we "would be the advance guard, the shock troops, to open up new and even hostile territory"—and that after a mission reached a certain level of development, we would move on to new missions in order to share the message of Jesus Christ in areas of the United States where the Catholic Church is not yet present.
Many other needs regarding the internal functions of the Society were also discussed.
Our missions stretch from Windsor, N.C., to Heavener, Okla.—over 20 hours driving time between the two. Therefore, when we get together, we enjoy spending time with our brothers whom we get to see only a few times a year. As always, when we Glenmarians gather, we find time to celebrate. This year we celebrated the three men who recently professed their Final Oaths, one who renewed his Oath, and another who made his first Oath; those who reached their 25th and 50th anniversaries as Glenmarians; and those who passed away in the last year. We also found some time to relax with one another and have fun; playing volleyball and attending a local baseball game were the highlights for me.
The themes of these two weeks were confidence in our new leadership, hope for our missions, and good quality time together as a community.

How to Perform a 720 Tornado Kick
Apr 22
Martial Arts howto, wushu 3 Comments
This article came at the request of some of my wushu students in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In this post, I will be demonstrating how to perform a 720 wushu jumping inside crescent kick, also known as a tornado kick, or xuan feng jiao (xfj).
A jumping inside crescent kick is essentially a jump kick that involves spinning in midair while performing a jump as well as a kick. There are generally two accepted ways to perform this kick, using a two foot takeoff method or a one foot takeoff method. Both are correct, but I will be covering the single foot takeoff in this article. The difficulty in this kick comes from that fact that you have to off with the kicking leg, kick in midair while spinning, and land on your kicking leg or a horse stance or splits depending on what you want to do. The 720 comes from the fact that you rotate 720 degrees while in midair.
- Take two running steps starting with your right foot.
- One the second step, raise both arms up and to the right.
- Take your third and final step, turning 90 degrees to the left. You should now be at a right angle of the forward direction. Your feet should be about shoulder width apart. Your weight at this point should be on the left side. Your knees should be bent.
- Swing both your arms down and to the left as you begin to shift your weight from your left side to your right side.
- Continue to shift your weight completely to the right leg. Your legs at this point should start to straighten. When your weight has shifted completely off your left leg and into your right leg, push off with your right leg. Your left foot should start to leave the ground at this point.
- As your right leg begins to leave the ground as well, start your counter-clockwise rotation.
- As you rotate, position your left hand out to the left of your body in preparation for the kick.
- Kick your right foot into your left hand. Be sure to turn your ankle so that the kick makes proper contact with the hand. The kick should be between shoulder to head height, but no more.
- As soon as your finish your kick and follow it through to your left side, keep rotating until you are about to land.
The author performing a 720 xfj.
What I just told you are general directions to doing a jump inside kick. You need to master that before attempting to add extra rotation. However, since this article is about how to do a 720 xfj, I'll go through some tips and pointers in order to get that 720. This assumes you can already do a regular xfj and can either do a 360 or 540 degree rotation.
- During your jump spin, delay the kick until you are facing the direction you are headed. If the direction you are headed can be considered 12 o'clock, and your takeoff is 9 o'clock, you should delay your kick from the moment you take off till you rotate back to 12 o'clock. When not attempting the 720, one can kick at the 3 o'clock position or even the 6 o'clock position. However, by delaying the kick till 12 o'clock, you've already spun 270 before you even kick.
- Instead of throwing your arms up and down in a U-motion for when you are shifting your weight into the jump, do a half U, more like a J, and when you lift off, change the swing to a slightly horizontal arm to aid with the rotation. The U-motion that is taught is mean to give you vertical height. Once you have that and are working on increasing your rotation, this modified U will give you that edge.
- This seems obvious, but at the very moment you kick, turn really fast. What I mean is that you need to accelerate your rotation the moment you complete your slap to your hand. It is the only way you can get that little extra bit of rotation. So many students relax or slow down the moment they kick. Your kick should not end on contact. Rather, the kick should follow through until it comes down all the way. This way, it helps your rotation.
There's really not much else to say other than, practice practice practice. There is no secret sauce. As with other moves you are working on, have your coach or colleagues watch you to make sure you are indeed doing everything you need to be doing. Also, videotaping yourself once in a while can be a real eye opener. Having the ability to break apart your moves in slow motion can reveal bad habits and help correct that much faster.
For more information on how to execute this jump and even more high level jumps, I highly recommend Raymond Wu's book – Fundamentals of High Performance Wushu available at Amazon.com.
Any additional tips and pointers that would help students would be appreciated. If you found this helpful, feel free to leave me comments. Thanks.

Bash - Floating Point Math at the Shell
Novell Cool Solutions: Cool Tool
In Brief
Your bash shell can be your calculator.
- Product Categories:
- SUSE Linux
|11 Sep 2006
|File Size:
|682 Bytes
|David Crouse
Please read the note from our friends in legal before using this file.
If you are like me and you like to use the bash shell as much as possible, you have probably run into the situation where you wanted to have a calculator built into your bash shell. So with a 2 line script and an edit to your .bashrc file, your bash shell can become a useful basic calculator. No more firing up kcalc to do simple math. With the program bc and a very small bash script, you can now get those decimal places to show up.
The two line script.
#!/bin/bash echo "scale=4; $1" | bc ;exit
Now save the script as bashcalc.sh
Now, you can do a couple of things at this point.
If you're like me, you have a /home/crouse/Scripts directory (ok, so yours probably doesn't say crouse lol) and you put most of your scripts in there. The benefit of this is that it doesn't require any special privledges to accomplish.
mv bashcalc.sh /home/$USER/Scripts/bashcalc.sh chmod a+x /home/$USER/Scripts/bashcalc.sh
Now that the script is in your script directory, you need an alias in the
.bashrc file in order to make it work.
Here is the alias in my .bashrc file for example:
alias calc='sh /home/crouse/scripts/bashcalc.sh'
Alternatively, you can put the script into /usr/bin and there is no need to edit the .bashrc file as /usr/bin is in your bash shell's path. You at least need the ability to sudo or install as root to accomplish this method.
sudo cp bashcalc.sh /usr/bin/calc sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/calc
Once all of this text editing, moving, and assorted stuff is done, you can use calc and do floating point math with your bash shell!
[crouse@localhost ~]$ calc 2.55*2.6666 6.7998 [crouse@localhost ~]$ calc 25.55/3.6666666 6.9681 [crouse@localhost ~]$ calc 25.2222+6.33333 31.55553 [crouse@localhost ~]$ calc 99-1.333333333 97.666666667
Notice that the division is only carried out to 4 places past the decimal point? That's a limitation of the bc command. You can override the 4 places to whatever you prefer by simply changing the line:
echo "scale=4; $1" | bc ;exit
The "scale=4" is what controls the amount of decimal places the division will calculate too. Just change the 4 to whatever length you prefer. Now you can do simple floating point math with just your bash shell.
Here is an adaptation of the first script that allows you to keep inputing calculations (kind of like a calculator) without having to restart the script every time:
FILE DOWNLOAD: http://www.bashscripts.org/downloads/Scripts/crouse/calc.sh
You can use the function above and extend it to create a sort of bash adding machine. It's a calculator that constantly runs in a bash shell.
You can edit the script to suit your needs, but it basically allows you to key in your problems, gives the results and waits for another problem to be input.
The default scale for division is to go 4 decimal places, this can be adjusted in the script to whatever length you wish to use. This was because I sometimes needed to enter in alot of individual calculations and was tired of typing the word calc :)
This could be extended even further and store individual calculations if you wanted it to, but that's beyond the scope of this article at the moment.
#!/bin/bash ####################################################### # Bash CALCulator 2 ####################################################### # # # FILE: bashcalc2.sh # VERSION: 1.1 # DATE: 06-19-2006 # # AUTHOR: Crouse - Please visit bashscripts.org and usalug.org # # ######################################################## header () { clear; echo "Bash Calculator - Enter a calculation and hit enter"; echo "---------------------------------------------------"; } calc () { header while true do read -p "" bashcalc; if [ "$bashcalc" = "quit" ] then exit fi if [ "$bashcalc" = "clear" ] then calc fi if [ "$bashcalc" = "help" ] then clear echo "Options include:" echo " help - This help file" echo " clear - Clears the screen" echo " quit - Quits the program" echo " " read -p "Hit any key to continue" temp; calc fi echo "scale=4; ${bashcalc}" | bc ; echo "---------------------"; done } # Program run starts here calc exit 0

Penetrated market refers to the set of customers who is already using a particular product or service. In a penetrated market, users are aware of the product already and most of them are active users. Markets that are not penetrated are called target markets, potential markets or available markets.
A penetrated market with respect to the total population is depicted as shown in the following figure:
If the penetrated market for a particular product is high, it means that the brand or the category is popular in that market. The size of penetrated market for a product gives an estimate of the amount of scope of increasing sales in the un-penetrated market and the size of the target market. If the size of your penetrated market is small, it means that more investment should go into the strategy of marketing that particular product. High market penetration indicates that the product is an established product now and that the brand or the company is a market leader in that particular category. Trying to capture un-penetrated markets is important to increase sales and market share, but at the same time maintaining the customers in the penetrated market is also important. Careful attention should be paid to these customers so that they do not switch to competitors' products.
Market penetration is calculated as the percentage of the company's sales over the total sales of the product or in a category. For example, there are 400 million mobile phone users in India and company A's mobile phones are used by 80 million people. Then the market penetration is (80 million/400 million)*100 i.e. 20%. This means there are still 320 million mobile phone users in India who can be targeted by the company.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Penetrated Market along with its overview.

CONFLUENCE - Borough council members in Confluence were hoping to have a better idea as to when they will vote on bringing a proposed liquor license into town Monday night.
But, discussions regarding special meeting scheduling were put on ice as council members waited to hear from their solicitor Robert Boose.
According to council president John Tressler, Boose was also supposed to bring copies of zoning ordinances with him to the meeting. Because of unknown reasons, Boose was unable to attend.
According to those in attendance, few have heard comments on the street while talking with neighbors.
"The only thing I heard was people wanted to know what the outcome was of the public hearing," said board member Bernice Snyder. "They thought that we were going to vote that night on it."

Recently photographer Birdman Photos spent time with street artists Risk, INSA, Meggs, Echo, and Steve Martinez of ULGAR and put together a great little short film entitled "Half Way to Nowhere" on the collaboration. (VIDEO BELOW)
The film was shot in "A water park was built in the 1980's to look like the 1950's, and abandoned in the 2000's" which gave "a creepy aura in the air of a failed American Dream that once stood there" said Birdman.
It looks like a fun time was had by all, and many cans of paint were emptied. 🙂

We're sure that Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Bieber adore their Fisker Karmas, but tonight Fisker Automotive finally revealed a hot extended range electric vehicle the rest of us can aspire to - the Fisker Atlantic. The sexy EV, code-named 'Nina', was presented to
drooling eager press on the eve of the 2012 New York Auto Show, and boy is it pretty! Inhabitat was on the scene, and (once we were able to pick our jaws off the floor) we snapped some of the first photos of this gorgeous new EV to share with you. Don't be fooled by the car's sultry curves though - Fisker stands by its word that this fine lady will actually be available to the masses at roughly half the price (around $45,000) of its cousin, the Karma. Originally code-named Project Nina, the mid-sized plugin electric hybrid sedan features an all-electric range of 50 miles in addition to a highly efficient BMW engine that provides an extra 250 miles for a total extended range of 300 miles.
At the unveiling Fisker chairman and founder Henrik Fisker stated "Fisker started this conversation about extended range vehicles. In 2007 no one was talking about extended range electric vehicles. This is the car for today."
Indeed. The folks at Fisker are saying the new Atlantic will retail starting at $45,000, which is in the same general price range as other luxury cars — but sure knocks the socks off of its competition in terms of fuel efficiency, looks, and added bonuses. The range and drive-train technology is similar between the Fisker Atlantic and the Chevy Volt, and the Fisker Atlantic will only be about $6000 more, when it comes out.
The Fisker Atlantic is shorter than its predecessor the Karma sedan, and it will be more affordable too – the cheapest package will sell for about $45,000. The Atlantic will be capable of driving in all-electric mode, after which a four-cylinder turbocharged BMW engine kicks in to generate electricity for longer trips. BMW will produce up to 100,000 engines per year in addition to other components for future models.
With an elegant design that features rear handles that are flawlessly hidden between the window and the C-pillar (check out an interior photo we snapped here), the Atlantic is the perfect example of sporty sedan meets EV. In fact, we did a few double-takes as we walked around the car and saw many of the same upscale curves of the Karma. Offering those at a more affordable pricepoint is a move that will invigorate interest in buyers that saw the Karma as more of an unachievable dream car.
The strategy couldn't come at a better time. While the $107,000 Karma sedan has thus far kept afloat, Fisker missed out on a large portion of a $529 million Department of Energy loan due to missed production deadlines. The loan would have enabled the California-based automaker to start producing the Atlantic at a former General Motors factory in Wilmington, Delaware that the company purchased in 2009.
The Atlantic may be positioned as more of an affordable "family car," but its looks are far from your average minivan. Vice President Joe Biden was one of the few people outside of Fisker who saw the vehicle before its release, and he described it as a "four-door Ferrari."

|Corporal Peter Newkirk
|Enlisted In
|Allies, Royal Air Force
|Serial Number
|Full List of Appearances
|Richard Dawson
Corporal Peter Newkirk is one of the main secondary fictional characters who appeared in the 1960s American sitcom, Hogan's Heroes. He was played by Richard Dawson.
History Edit
Peter Newkirk was born on April 29, 1916 (speculation) in England, of an English father and an Anglo-Welsh mother who is a dancer and artist. He claims to have nine sisters and brothers, but only ever names one of them, a sister named Mavis, who lives in Stepney. While his education is never explained, it must be assumed that he went to a secondary school. Either during, or after finishing his education, he traveled with a circus, rooming with George and Freddie Bloomington, the 'Amazing Bloomingtons' from 1929 to 1934. While working for the circus, Newkirk learned several skills, among which includes knife throwing and shooting the bow and arrow, while he is shown how to open safes by Alfie the Artist. By the time of the British declaration of war against Germany on September 3, 1939, Newkirk was a stage magician performing a headline act at the Palladium Theater in London, and was romancing a fan dancer named Rita Nottingham.
World War II Edit
On August 9, 1938, Newkirk was most likely drafted into the British military, rather than abandon his successful career and join the colors. After training, sometime between 1939 and early 1940, he was transferred to France and sent to an airfield as a member of an air unit, trained as a wireless operator, that was attached to the British Expeditionary Force as part of the support personnel, where he quickly rose up to the rank of corporal by June, 1940. Corporal Newkirk, like the rest of his unit, was involved in the French Campaign of 1940, servicing the aircraft that support the soldiers of the BEF. At some point during the campaign, he was captured by the Germans, probably when his unit was trying to evacuate its support personnel from the airbase to keep ahead of the advancing Germans, and became a POW. He was then sent on to Germany to be placed in a POW camp for British Air Force personnel. At some point the Germans sent him to Stalag 13, and he was apparently the first of the future "heroes" to arrive there.
Much later, not long after Colonel Hogan's arrival, he joined Hogan's Anti-Nazi organization. His primary function in the group, based on his past experiences, is that of a general conman, pickpocket, forger, and one of the impersonators of the group. Because of his pickpocketing ability, Newkirk can remove or add an item without the other indiviudal realizing that it has been done. His usual impersonations include German officers, civilians and even Adolf Hitler. He is also a very good safe cracker, and he is often called upon to open Klink's safe to help retrieve any secrets placed inside by Klink for safekeeping, plant documents for the Germans to find, or to let Corporal Louis LeBeau inside listening post #3. Newkirk is also shown to be a talented tailor, and was likely trained in the skill by Minsk before the Russian's departure from Stalag 13, he also sometimes states that he was a Gentleman's Tailor before the war. Newkirk usually sews all of the various costumes and uniforms that are used by our heroes in the course of their operations.
Although Colonel Hogan didn't officially have a second-in-command, Newkirk did fill in that position a couple of times. There was one operation where Hogan was unavailable, so Newkirk directed the other heroes. And on several occasions, after Col. Hogan spoke with a spy, Newkirk would ask Hogan what was said. Newkirk is a very intelligent individual who is loyal to his commanding officer, but he will say what is on his mind if he believes there is a problem with a plan. He can be something of a realist, in comparison to the more naive Carter.
Post-World War II (speculation and headcanons) Edit
Once Stalag 13 was liberated by the Allies at the end of the war, Newkirk eventually made his way back to England after taking the long way around through most of Europe. After Newkirk finally made it back to London he decided to pick back up where he left off, as a magician at the Palladium Theater. Using the old skills he perfected and the new ones he picked up as a P.O.W. in Stalag 13, Newkirk was a smash hit turning his act into a show about a P.O.W. using magic and tricks to sabotage and strike at the Nazis from inside a Stalag Luft. He was able to cut down on most of the costs because he made all the costumes himself and was now an expert at deception and sleight of hand.
After a few years of success, Newkirk decided to get out of show business and get into the nightclub scene. Using his proceeds from his magic show he opened a club on Gaunt street in London calling it The Ministry of Sound. Newkirk spent most of his time flirting with all the "birds" in the club until he ran into his old girlfriend Rita Nottingham. Rita was normally seen slapping Newkirk as he would try and flirt with every other girl that came into the club until he asked Rita, "Well if you're gonna slap me every time I talk to another girl we might as well be married!" Newkirk and Rita later married just over a year later and had seven children, two boys and five girls. Their oldest son ran off and joined the circus causing his mother stress but Newkirk told her "It paid off for me. Let the kid get a real education out of life."
[Added by a different user: None of this section ("Post-World War II") actually happened during the Hogan's Heroes series, which ended abruptly when the series was cancelled. The series cancellation occurred prior to any plot being developed that could have explained what happened to any of the Hogan's Heroes characters after the war. So what is described here (above) is completely inaccurate and none of it ever happened during the series at all.]
Trivia Edit
Unlike the other heroes, Newkirk doesn't wear pajamas but a man's long nightshirt. He also wears an RAF greatcoat instead of a jacket when it's cold.

You probably know that my last name — Kaita (海田) — is Japanese. However, in a country of Takahashis, Tanakas, and Suzukis, my name is quite uncommon. Most people don't even recognize it as a Japanese name, and I have yet to meet another (unrelated) Kaita. Here's a list of the 100 most popular Japanese surnames. The top 100 surnames cover about 33% of the population. My name isn't anywhere even close to being on the list, in fact it's more like 3700th.
So years ago, when I learned that there was a town called Kaita in Hiroshima with the same kanji as my last name, I made it my mission to someday visit this town with my name. And I finally made it!
Kaita-ichi (ichi means "town") is the name of Kaita's train stop. It's actually not too far from Hiroshima Station.
The outside of the train station.
Kaita is a pretty sleepy little place, similar to any other small Japanese town.
So basically I just took photos of everything that said "Kaita" on it (in English or Japanese).
I hunted down Kaita town's ward office.
Portuguese Kaita!
Oh you know, just reading my news.
And hanging out at my town office.
Random Kaita town shrine.
Kaita post office. (No Kaita postcards, just Hiroshima ones.)
Kaita Public Hall.
If you need shelter, the Kaita Town Public Health Center is here for you.
Found another shrine up a very steep set of stairs.
At the top of the steps.
Graveyard (no Kaitas here that I could see).
It's my town!
That's me.
We're covering up the "ichi" part so it just says "Kaita."
Mike wonders where the train is and why we came out to the middle of nowhere for this.
[…] (riding the cat train!) Kobe Fukuoka and more Fukuoka (Fukuoka has the best ramen ever) Hiroshima Kaita (spoiler: you don't need to visit) Miyajima (definitely visit!) Nagoya and also the Totoro […]
