Your favorite double pie crust recipe or store bought crust
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (I put eggs into a bowl of 140º water for 3 1/2 minutes for home pasteurization)
Fit rounds (about 3 1/2 inch diameter) of pastry into greased mini muffin tins. If using premade crust you may want to roll it out just slightly. Poke holes in bottom of dough and bake at temperature directed by recipe or package for about 6-8 minutes, or till golden. Cool slightly and remove from tins to cool on rack.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar for about 2 minutes till light and fluffy. With mixer running, gradually add melted chocolate and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating at medium speed for 5 minutes after each addition. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix another minute. Pipe or spoon filling into cooled pastry shells and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls Gently warm a large piece of semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave without melting it. Using a vegetable peeler, cut curls of chocolate from a wide edge) or berries.
Depending on the thickness of your crust, this recipe yields 12-bite sized pieces.

The San Antonio Spurs have announced that they have waived forward Derrick Byars.
Byars was signed out of the D-League by the Spurs in late April and played in two games for the Spurs, averaging five points and 5.5 rebounds per game in under 20 minutes.
The 6-7 forward from Vanderbilt played for the Spurs summer league squad and failed to make much of an impact. Back when he was signed, I questioned the Spurs' move in bringing in yet another tweener on a roster full of players who could play at shooting guard and small forward.

A few months ago, as I crossed the finish line at a 25K desert trail race, an unexpected thought entered my mind: there's no reason to not run an ultra.
That led me to the start line of the Pemberton Trail 50K at the McDowell Mountain Regional Park near Fountain Hills, Ariz., where I planned to embark on my first ultramarathon.
Arriving at the park early Saturday morning, it wasn't clear how the race would play out. Even with 15 marathons to my name, it had been 16 months since I ran one. And I had no notions that racing a marathon and running an ultra were similar endeavors.
With a morning temperature of 46, and a slight breeze, the desert morning was setting up to be ideal for a trail race. The race reached its cap of 150 runners, and the course briefing proved to be memorable as the director thanked volunteers, including his mom, and asked for a moment of silence for his dog Oliver, who died 2 months earlier.
The event itself was notable for its amazing, scenic course – relatively flat and excellent footing using some of the same trail as the legendary Javalina Jundred – and another day of weather under the winter desert sky.
My personal experience was near perfect, too. My strategy to run the flats and push the downhills, and walk the uphill portions at times when it proved difficult keep an efficient pace. The course offers very few uphills, so the double loop course proved to be an attempt to maintain a consistent pace.
With no cramping, blistering or other significant issues, my in-race plan switched to running from aid station to aid station, about 5 miles apart. At the stations, I stopped to fill up a water bottle and eat some treats, mostly sliced oranges and bananas. But I also discovered a new addiction: boiled potatoes dipped in salt.
Without question, I will be running this event again. It proved to be a perfect event for a first ultramarathon. The ultra finish goes down as one of my most memorable races. It bolsters my confidence for other goals this year and has me looking for other ultra races to add to the calendar. In the upcoming days, I'll add some more thoughts, but photos may be the best way to recap the race.

Euclid's Parallel Postulate
Date: 14 Feb 1995 11:36:20 -0500 From: Cerreta, Pat Subject: parallel postulate I am studying Euclid's Parallel Postulate. Why did mathematicians disagree with him? What other geometries resulted from this disagreement? What postulate replaced the Parallel Postulate? Thank You, Byram Hills Freshman Geometry Class Armonk,New York
Date: 14 Feb 1995 14:59:02 -0500 From: Dr. Ethan Subject: Re: parallel postulate Howdy folks, Well, to fully explain you need to make sure you know the difference between a theorem and a postulate. A postulate is a statement about a geometrical world that is accepted without justification and makes the frame work for the geometrical world. A theorem is a conclusion that follows logically from the postulates using rational argument and does require justification. It is a result of the framework of the geometrical world. So now to Euclid's fourth and most troublesome postulate: For every line, l, and point, P, which is not on that line, there exists a unique line, m, through P that is parallel to l. (Remember parallel means that they do not intersect. It does not necessarily mean that they are always the same distance apart.) This is a postulate, so when you say that you disagree with it, that doesn't mean it is wrong it just means that you don't want to assume that it is true in your geometrical world. The disagreement came when mathematicians tried to figure out whether or not the parallel postulate had to be taken as a postulate, or whether it followed from the other four. This was hotly debated but eventually it was determined that no, it did not follow from the other three. It had to be assumed in order to get Euclidean geometry (Which for a long time was the only geometry that anybody thought mattered). From our perspective, the most important of these attempts was that made by Girolamo Saccheri. He hoped to assume that the postulate wasn't true, and show that that led to something that made no sense; thereby proving the postulate true. He was unable to find a contradiction but did unknowingly discover the first non-Euclidean geometry (i.e. one in which the fifth postulate doesn't hold) Well I guess I'm going to skip a lot of history here and skip to the results. It was eventually decided that the fifth postulate was indeed a postulate so we didn't have to assume it. The two assumptions that have been used instead are these: 1. Given a line, l, and a point, P, not on that line there are infinitely many lines passing through P that are parallel to l. (This produces hyperbolic geometry) 2. Given a line, l, and a point not on that line, P, there are no lines passing through P parallel to l. (This produces projective geometry) If this is unclear or you would like more information, please write back and I will tell you more. Ethan Doctor On Call
Date: 14 Feb 1995 21:53:39 -0500 From: Dr. Ken Subject: Re: parallel postulate Hello there! I just thought I'd add to the wonderful answer of my colleague and buddy Ethan. The two kinds of Non-Euclidean geometry are what we get by assuming the _negation_ of the parallel postulate. Since the parallel postulate says, "for any line, l, and any point, p, not on that line, there is exactly one line through p which is parallel to l," the negation of it is, "there exists a line, l, and a point, p, not on that line such that there is either (a) no line through p which is parallel to l, or (b) more than one line through p which is parallel to l." It turns out that if there is one place in our geometry where we're in case (a), we can prove that we're in case (a) _everywhere_, i.e. that there are no parallel lines whatsoever in our whole system of geometry. We call this geometry (as Ethan said) projective geometry or spherical geometry. The definition is that "there exists a line, l, and a point, p, not on that line such that there is no line through p which is parallel to l," but we can prove that "given any line, l, and any point, p, there is no line through p which is parallel to l." Also, if there's any place where we're in case (b), then we're in case (b) everywhere. This is known as Hyperbolic geometry. The definition is "there exists a line, l, and a point, p, not on that line such that there is more than one line through p parallel to l," but we can actually prove that the following holds: "given any line, l, and any point, p, not on that line, there are infinitely many lines through p which are parallel to l." For what that's worth. -Ken "Dr." Math

Nagai Kafu's Occidentalism
Defining the Japanese Self
Publication Year: 2011

Front Cover
Title Page, Copyright
The bulk of this volume was completed on a sabbatical supported by a Picker Research Fellowship, granted by the Colgate University Research Council. I owe sincere thanks to Julie Nelson Davis and Cappy Hurst of the University of Pennsylvania Center for East Asian Studies for hosting me as visiting researcher...
In the opening years of the twentieth century, Japanese intellectuals were faced with a pressing, seemingly unsolvable question. How could Japan modernize without losing its sense of identity, rooted in hundreds of years of aesthetic tradition? In the rapidly changing environment of the Meiji period...
1. Constructing the "West": Binarism and Complexity in Kafū's America
Nagai Kafū sailed for America on the Shinanomaru on September 22, 1903. Kafū's dream was to travel to France to become a writer, as he had a keen interest in French literature. An acquaintance with the playwright Fukuchi Ōchi had introduced him to the works of Émile Zola in 1900, after which membership...
2. Imagining Authenticity: Literature and Civilization in Kafū's France
It is clear from the final stages of Amerika monogatari and Kafū's diary of 1906-1908 that it was the literature and lifestyle of France that captivated Kafū in New York. Given his view of America as merely a stepping-stone on the way to France, it is not surprising that the wish to complete his travels weighed heavily...
3. Positioning the Observer: Kafū's "Orient" and Orientalism
Where Amerika monogatari constructed an image of America through contrast with Japan, and the beginnings of Furansu monogatari saw Kafū reveling in an idealized world of art and aesthetics, the latter part of Furansu monogatari turns to an examination of the wider world as Kafū leaves...
4. Occidentalism: Contrast and Critique in the Returnee Stories
Through Amerika monogatari and Furansu monogatari, Kafū showed an increasing disillusionment with his home country, first in comparison to America and France, and then as the realization hit him that he must return to Japan. Where the young narrators of Furansu monogatari often...
5. Resistance: Defining and Preserving the Japanese Self
Nagai Kafū's Returnee Stories laid out a challenge to the Japanese people, to discover the meaning of "Nihon to iu Originalité." Where Kafū's work of 1909-1910 puts forward an argument for preserving Japanese culture in the face of superficial Westernization, his writing after this period shows the working out of this argument...

POLLHUP was not part of the BSD sockets API; the Berkeley way was sockets and select, the SV way was STREAMS and poll. Mixing sockets and poll is miscegenation of a sort. Of course, part of the problem is inherent to TCP, one of the few design bugs in TCP. There is no way for a receiver to push "no more receives" status back to the sender (at least not without accompanying it with "no more sends"). I conjecture that this is least part of the reason the API does not provide a non-abnormal way to indicate send attempts on a connection that can't accept any further sends - there's no send_without_sigpipe() call, if you will. That's not to say it couldn't be done for AF_LOCAL sockets, of course, nor even that it wouldn't be a good idea. Just perhaps that it's understandable that it's not done. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML email@example.com / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B

March is here and that means the Easter is coming! With the approach of Easter comes a time of reflection for most of us and for Kidmin Leaders it brings an opportunity to focus on Jesus' resurrection. Each year we look for ways to creatively retell this incredible story in the hopes that more children will grasp the significance of this event.
With all the chocolate, eggs and bunnies it can be difficult to break through and focus a child's attention on the significance of Easter. The very mention of the word brings about pictures of WalMart filled to the rafters with baskets and candy. It's in this atmosphere that we as Children's Ministry leaders strive to point kids to Jesus.
Our friends at Friends and Heroes (pun intended) have produced a product that can help families discover the questions "Why does Easter Matter?" This is a five session telling of the Easter story from Jesus' ride into Jerusalem through the crucifixion and to his being seen on the road to Emmaus. This is Group/Family material provided on CD-ROM which includes a Public Display License.
This set, of course, includes the dynamic animation that we have come to appreciate from Friends and Heroes. Along with music that will stir hearts and move your soul.
Each session features:
Prayer Time
Session Background
Friends and Heroes Episode
Bible Reading
Question Time
All-Age Optional Extras
"This five-session Easter course was created with everyone in mind, but in particular we have created it for groups of people who are meeting together to meditate in some way on the Easter Story. What is unique about this course is that it includes children. This makes it ideal for a family or even a group of families to use together."
I would highly recommend this series to Kidmin Leaders and Parents who desire to help their children focus on the true meaning of Easter. You can visit the Friend and Heroes website to get more information and order your copy of "Why does Easter matter?"

Gareth Bale blasts a hat-trick to confirm his returns to fitness and heavy-hitting fantasy status, while the Potters find a cutting edge to recover from an early setback and consign Liverpool to defeat. Here's part two of the Boxing Day Stock Check…
On the Up
Gareth Bale
A devastating hat-trick took Bale to nine goals for the season and gives the Welshman six goals in his last six league appearances. Incredibly, Bale has scored just two goals and only one of his four assists at White Hart Lane, proving to be a deadly weapon on the road. With strong fixtures to come, Bale's form will bring him huge investment with significant FPL price rises to follow.
Jermain Defoe
His opening strike for Spurs took the England man to ten for the season and keeps Defoe bubbling in the FPL rankings, some 11 points ahead of Wayne Rooney. Bale's form and his popularity as a midfield acquisition will doubtless dent Defoe's appeal but Defoe shouldn't be dismissed lightly. He has started every league match since Gameweek 11 and has never gone more than three starts without scoring.
The Spurs Defence
Their strong run continues: Andre Villas-Boas' rearguard have now kept four clean sheets in the last five after earning their third consecutive shut-out this evening. With their fixtures remaining strong (sun RDG qpr), there's no reason to suggest that this kind of form won't continue in the short-term at least, with Jan Vertonghen and Hugo Lloris justifying their current rankings in our Watchlist.
Steven Gerrard
The converted spot-kick at the Britannia gave Gerrard a third goal in three league starts and means that he's now delivered returns in five of his last six outings. As tonight's display demonstrated, however, consistency remains an issue in the Liverpool camp.
Jon Walters
One of the most unfashionable Fantasy assets around, Walters demonstrated what he is capable of by delivering a brace to notch his biggest returns of the season. With five goals and three assists so far, Walters has delivered strong value for his 6.4 price tag and, if Michael Kightly retains the right-wing role shifting Walters up in support of the lone striker, he could yet go on providing profit.
Kenwyne Jones
With strong and reliable budget options thin on the ground up front, Jones has quietly established a starting role in Tony Pulis' side at the expense of Peter Crouch and is taking his opportunity. While the Potters attack is far from potent, Jones looks an effective blunt instrument and has provided two goals in three games, with an assist tonight – a good return on a 5.0 FPL price tag.
Going Down
Ryan Shawcross & Geoff Cameron
Both were teetering on the tightrope and both toppled off with bookings in the victory over Liverpool. The Stoke defensive stalwarts, with over 40% FPL ownership between them, will now miss the home league clash with Southampton this coming weekend.
The Villa Defence
Having conceded just two goals in five matches between Gameweeks 12-17, Paul Lambert's back four have simply capitulated in the last two matches, shipping 12 goals to Chelsea and Spurs. With five conceded to City and three to United, it's becoming clear that Villa are all too easily disposed of by the bigger sides. While fixtures are obliging in the coming weeks, confidence in the Villa rearguard has been shattered.
Steven Caulker
Caulker has, on occasions, looked a strong option within the Spurs back four, having enjoyed a run of starts from Gameweek 6-11. Since then, however, he has been subject to heavy rotation with the likes of Michael Dawson, William Gallas and Jan Vertonghen all vying for the centre-back roles. Caulker was benched again today and with Benoit Assou-Ekotto close to a return at left-back, it appears the Vertonghen/Gallas partnership could emerge as the established first choice option.

TROTWOOD, Ohio (WDTN) — Police say a Trotwood woman took matters into her own hands, opening fire on three men who broke into her home, killing one of them.
The deadly home invasion happened before 6 a.m. Monday in the 3200 block of Atlas Road.
Trotwood Police say the homeowner was at home with her four children when three armed men wearing ski masks forced their way inside the house.
Police say the suspects grabbed the woman, assaulted her, and forced her into a back bedroom, holding her at gunpoint. Officers say the suspects were trying to steal a safe. At one point, the woman was able to get away, and grabbed a gun hidden in a dresser. Police say when she fired the gun at the suspects, they ran out of the home.
A bullet hit at least one of them. That suspect was found dead on a neighbor's lawn about 100 yards away from the home. According to the Montgomery County Coroner's Office, he's been identified as Azikiwe Presley, 29, of Dayton.
"There's obviously some reason why they picked this house. We're still not sure as to the reason or the motive," said Trotwood Police Captain John Porter. "We do know that the male, who is divorced from the female there, uses the home still as a business address."
Surveillance video from inside the home captured the break-in. Police are hoping that will help them in their investigation. Officers are still looking for the other two suspects. If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at 937-222-7867.

Star Trek Ships That Spock Did Not Approve Of
Whether your favorite captain is James Kirk or Jean Luc Picard, most fans can agree on the best "Star Trek" ships. But what about the worst? In a fictional universe littered with so many ships, and a group of writers and special effects staff being asked to come up with a new one every week, not every vessel can be the Enterprise. Or even the Defiant. Sometimes, there comes a ship that leaves you scratching your head, wondering what they were thinking.
Mondor. Although this ship is terrible by design, it still doesn't make sense, nor is it's premise truly explained. Piloted by a race of utter morons, whose only accomplishment is stealing from other races to "make things go," this freighter is a plain bucket, falling apart at the seams. Somehow these guys have managed to steal from lots of different races to cobble together this ship, but their weapons are so weak they may as well be shooting bottle rockets. Yet somehow, they've put together parts from many planets. And if you've ever tried to get computer parts from different manufacturers to talk to each other, imagine two pieces from different planets!
U.S.S. Curry. This was the first ship designed by Dan Curry, and he had the dishonor of having it named after him. Nicknamed the "Shelley" by fans, after Mary Shelley of "Frankenstein" fame, this horrible mishmash of ships was one of many ugly ships that were a result of the Dominion War story line. You can hardly blame the special effects guys for just taking pieces of other models and pasting them together with the number of new ships they had to come up with, but you would think someone would have mentioned to them that this creation looks more like a cruise ship on pontoons than a starship.
Bajoran Lightship. From a visual standpoint, the design on this ship is gorgeous, looking more like a Viking sailing vessel than a spacecraft. But think about it for a moment. Even satellites orbiting earth are always in danger from debris hurling through space at extreme speeds. All it would take is one piece of space dust the size of a grain of sand to rip through one of this ship's "sails" and you've just sentenced your crew to a slow painful death. Couple that with the fact that even the show admitted it was fragile and prone to accidental warp jumps which can tear the ship apart. That's exactly what happened to the crew of Bajorans to first fly this thing out of their solar system.
U.S.S. Essex. A victim of poor design, this ship, with a globe instead of a saucer section, more closely resembles a sex toy than any battle vessel. Perhaps that's why every ship with the Daedalus class design that has appeared on the show has crashed into a planet, only to bring the Enterprise to rescue the corpses of the poor saps assigned to this vessel.
U.S.S. Stargazer. This was the ship on which Picard made a name for himself in his pre-captain days. The ship's motto was "To bring light into the darkness," and apparently the designers took this quite literally. Featuring four nacelles, this thing looked like it could light up half the Alpha quadrant with those glow sticks. Which would only serve the purpose of letting everyone see how stupid it looks.

All praise to You, eternal Lord
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood
You chose a manger for Your throne
While worlds on worlds are Yours alone
Once did the skies before You bow
A virgin's arms cradle You now
And angels who in You rejoice
Now listen for Your infant voice
They sing
Glory in the highest
For there's no other name by which we can be saved
Glory in the highest
Heaven and Earth forever will proclaim
God has come to Earth
O, little Child, You are our guest
That weary ones in You may rest
Forlorn and lowly is Your birth
That we may rise to Heaven from Earth
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
And there's no other name by which we can be saved
And Heaven and Earth forever will proclaim
God has come to Earth
God has come to Earth
God has come to Earth

And Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David, to be registered along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was pregnant. While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough—because there was no room for them at the lodging place.
Luke 2:4-7
His first throne was a manger. And now, He is seated at the right hand of His Father. This baby, born to Joseph and Mary, would change the world forever!
Jesus was born to walk the earth. He went through things—hard things—so that we could see that all would be OK. He taught us how to love and how to serve. He showed us that it is awesome to be friends with sinners…because there are no perfect people, except Him. He performed miracle after miracle, just to prove Who His Father is, so that all would believe and live eternally with Him.
He brought dead to life and restored sight to the blind. He healed by just a touch. And, oh how He loved! Everyone He came in contact with went away better. And then He died on a cross, broken and poured out for us. He crushed every sin we would ever commit so that we, too, could live with Him in heaven.
So let's adore Him today as they did on that night so long ago…
Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,
praising God and saying:
Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and peace on earth to people He favors!
Luke 2:13-14

Let us pray: Dearest God, oh how we love You! Oh, how we worship You and bow down at Your feet. We lay down all our burdens today and we ask that You take our worries. Thank You that You are for us and that nothing that we have done can separate us from You. Help us to remember what this season is about; and to not get so wrapped up in the gifts that we don't have, but to remember the only Gift that we need…You, Jesus. Remind us, too, that the same miracles that happened back then can happen today. You are enough! In Jesus' name, amen.

The rapid increase of wind farms in the United States and especially Texas is due largely to renewable energy subsidies. The subsidies are currently the most popular policy instrument used to lessen carbon dioxide emissions and will likely continue due to the lack of absence of national climate legislation. Studies have, however, revealed that these subsidies are not as beneficial as we may have thought.
The study conducted by Washington University revealed that in order for the wind power subsidies to be beneficial, the social cost of carbon dioxide emissions has to exceed $42 per ton. The current social cost for carbon dioxide ranges between $7 and $81 and the projected cost for 2015 ranges from $12 to $116 per ton.
Texas electricity rates have been held below the national average, prompting many Texas voters to lean towards keeping the subsidies in place.
Although wind energy is emission free and reduces the output of fossil fuel generators, the emission rate of fossil fuels that is offset by wind energy relies heavily on which generators reduce their output.

Chewy peanut butter cookies with salted peanuts thrown in for double the peanut flavour! Add some chocolate chunks and these cookies are just what your next peanut butter craving needs!
It's Friday. Pull up a chair, sit down with me and have a cookie and a chat. Latte? Tea? Hot chocolate? Milk for dunking? Today I'm feeling like a chai latte so I might have to make that happen when the afternoon coffee man makes his rounds. Our morning and afternoon coffee vans are probably two of the only redeeming features about our office being located in the middle of nowhere. No need to go out to a coffee shop, the coffee shop comes to you! (Anyone else have a coffee van come to their work?) There is unfortunately a lack of Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies on said trucks, but that's okay because today we brought our own. While we're nibbling on our cookies today tell me about your life at the moment? (Take note of the crispy edges but soft centres of these cookies – that's due to the mix of brown and white sugars in the dough.) What's going on with you? Any adventures coming up? Chris and I have an amazing nerdy date planned for this weekend, and next weekend we are headed up to a bed and breakfast in Noosa for two nights. (Why yes I did use crunchy peanut butter and sprinkle in salted peanuts for double the peanut flavour.) I know I'm going to miss Penny when we are away, but I'm looking forward to a holiday by the beach. Whenever I holiday here in Australia my favourite places to go always include water of some kind. (Can you have another cookie? Why, of course, my dear, take this one – it has the biggest chunks of dark chocolate). If anyone has good restaurant recommendations for Noosa I am all ears. I haven't been there since I was a little kid so I'm looking forward to exploring a new (to us) holiday spot!
We won't need much more than our swimsuits and and a bottle of wine because knowing Chris and I we will spend most of our time frolicking on the beach, but I might sneak in another batch of these cookies just in case. Strictly for emergencies, you know…
Should you find yourself in a similar cookie emergency this weekend please administer a large dose of Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookie, and repeat as needed. These cookies are seriously the best peanut butter and chocolate cookies I have ever made, and if you know me, you know that I consider it my life's work to test every chocolate chip cookie recipe known to humankind. They are based on my classic Peanut Butter Cookies, but with the peanut volume turned up to 11, and featuring a hefty dose of dark chocolate chunks. If you aren't partial to dark chocolate (ahem, Chris, ahem) then you could use milk chocolate, or even white (that would be amazing!) to make these your very own best ever Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Wherever you enjoy these, and whomever you find yourself with, have an amazing weekend! Let me know what you are up to in the comments below!

New extension opened at Mount Bruis national school
The official opening of the new extension to Mount Bruis N.S. took place recently and was attended by a large gathering of people including past teachers, past pupils, parents, grand-parents, members of the B.O.M., members of the Parent's Association and friends of the school
The patron of the school Archbishop Clifford cut the ribbon to officially open the extension. In the course of his address he paid tribute to the local community and the B.O.M. for the wonderful effort they had put into this project. "The extension is a credit to their vision and hard work," said Archbishop Clifford.
Nora Greene, School Principal, gave a full account of the actual project. "There were many headaches and heartaches, cut-backs and setbacks along the way," she said. "But it was all worthwhile as we now have a state-of-the-art teaching facility, fully equipped and ready to go."
The new extension includes three new classrooms with storage and toilet facilities. All classrooms now have laptops and interactive whiteboards. The existing school is now refurbished to include a classroom, learning support room, secretary's office staff room, Principal's office, staff toilet, P.E. storage room and disability facilities.
"For the first time ever we now have dressing rooms for the boys and girls. We are very proud of our new extended and resurfaced sportsfield and extended play area for P.E. activities and free play," said Principal Greene who also thanked the staff, parents and children for their patience and understanding while the building project was in progress. Ms Greene also thanked the B.O.M. and parent's association for all their work in getting the building completed and paid special tribute to local T.D.'s. who made representations on behalf of the school to the Department of Education and Skills, as well as a special tribute to the Chairperson of the B.O.M., Fr. John Egan for his tenacity in sticking with the project.
Fr. Egan stated "Today a child is born and that child is the brand new Mount Bruis N.S." "Today the torch is being passed to a new generation of Mount Bruis students and Mount Bruis as you know has been a centre of excellence and high achievement over the years". He paid tribute to the wonderful teachers who had maintained very high standards, with very little facilities and comforts. All they had was chalk and a blackboard. They loved the job, used their common sense, and their own imagination and produced great results. "The greatest resources we can have in any school are the people who work there – the teachers and the children, and of course hand in hand with the children go the parents. They are the hub and centre of any school – teachers, children and parents, all working together and supporting one another for the benefit of all especially the children." He paid special tribute to the staff and secretary of the school. He also paid special tribute to
Nora Greene (Principal) and the B.O.M. for the hard work and dedication that was put into this project.
Earlier in the day a celebratory Mass for the children, staff and parents of the school was said by Fr. John Egan. The children took an active part in the celebration of the Mass, participating in readings, prayers of the faithful, procession of gifts and commentaries. Noreen Aherne accompanied the school choir on guitar and the Parent's Association provided refreshments for the children on the day.

Because Each of Us Matters
Tuesday, 19. November 2013 15:02
Have you ever thought about who makes up your "we"? Is it your family, your partner, your political party, or your work associates? Or maybe it's the human race, or all the creatures of the earth? Perhaps your answer changes depending on the issue at stake.
The way you navigate between the needs of I, you and we in your life can be tricky. How do you meet your needs and the needs of others when they compete? For example, if your "I " almost always comes second to your service to others in your life, how does that feel for you? Alternatively, how does it feel if you almost always seek to meet your own needs before considering the needs of others?
Say these definitions to yourself:
Loving only you is self-less;
Loving only me is selfish and
Loving me and you is self–full.
And these:
Each of us is responsible for meeting our own needs; and
Your needs and my needs matter equally, not more or less.
How was that for you?
I find it empowering to know that our needs matter equally and that I can trust you to take care of yourself. It means I can care about others (you and we) in my life without abandoning me. It enhances my respect for both of us.
I can always choose to consider our needs together in my solution set. That's not an obligation, it's a choice, and that encourages me to discover creative solutions that solve problems in ways that benefit more of us.
In this context, one of my favorite questions is this:
"What choices bring more love and abundance to me, to you and to us?"
Finding your way to meet the needs of I, with you and we, may fill a lifetime. Hopefully, each of us seeks a balance that not only nurtures us, but also allows us to contribute to our community and to our world in meaningful ways. Because each of us matters – and how we live this consciousness makes all the difference.

Pedestrian hit by two cars while crossing Texas 6
Updated 9:28 am, Sunday, February 23, 2014
A man died early Sunday after being hit by two cars, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Shortly after 1 a.m., Margarito Tapia was running across the road in the 5900 block of North Texas 6 when he was hit by a Mercedes-Benz traveling south in the center lane, according to a press release.
Lying in the road, Tapia was hit again, possibly by a Mazda, officials said. The Mazda driver did not stop to render aid.
Tapia was transported to Cy-Fair Hospital and was pronounced dead shortly after 2 a.m.
The sheriff's Traffic Enforcement Division continues to investigate the case.

Selle Français
The Selle Français is a breed of sport horse that was developed in France. In the nineteenth century, it was popular to develop half-breed horses, especially crosses between Thoroughbreds and native mares that were used for driving or military purposes. Many of these crosses, including the Anglo-Norman,were named after the region that they were developed in. All of the half-breeds were merged in 1958 under the name of Selle Français or French Saddle Horse, in order to develop a sport horse that could also be used for recreational riding. Some of the breeds included in the merger include the Anglo-Norman, the Angevin, and the the Vendeen.
The first members of the Selle Français breed did not meet a certain standard due to the diversity created between the cross breeds, which included those made between native horses, Thoroughbreds, and French Trotters. However, there was a large amount of Anglo-Norman blood within the breed at this point due to its popularity throughout France. The first official registration for the breed, known as the Association nationale du selle français or National Association of French Saddle Horses, was established in 2003 and since then has played an important role in the preservation and improvement of the breed.
Although the studbook allows for the crossbreeding of Selle Français horses with Arabians, Anglo-Arabians, French Trotters, and Thoroughbreds, strict guidelines have been placed on horses that are entered for registration. The parents of a registering horse must both be registered Selle Français horses or a cross between a registered Selle Français and one of the four a permitted outside breeds, known as facteur de selle français horses. The studbook was separated into two categories in 2003 in order to distinguish between purebred Selle Français horses and those bred from facteur de selle français parents, but the two categories were merged into one studbook in 2009.
The Selle Français has no set breed standard due to the variety of horses that are used in its development, but it does share some common physical characteristics including a broad forehead, straight profile, strong neck, and powerful hindquarters. It reaches a height between 15.1 and 17.3 hands and is typically bay or chestnut in color, although it can be gray in color. White markings are permitted and common on the lower legs. Although the temperament of the Selle Français can vary drastically, most individuals have a good temperament with calm and patient tendencies. This breed is known for its skill in show jumping and eventing, sports for which it is bred. It is also used for training purposes in haute ecole dressage, combined driving, trail riding, and in the production of race horses.

Main :: James Tyler Variax Guitars
Support community for JTV.
by wardc33 on 2012-01-18 20:30:18.1960
I just got a new JTV-59 today, and as I've been playing it I've noticed that the Alternate Tunings on the Low E and A string are off by about 2 steps. (The volume is also considerably lower on those two strings as well.) This only occurs when the modeling is selected, not on the actual pickups. I'm wondering if there is an easy fix for this, or if I need to send it back? Thanks!
by Nick_Mattocks on 2012-01-19 04:07:22.7630
You may be hearing a mix of both channels from the Variax (magnetic pickups and modelled sounds) or you may be hearing a mix of the acoustic sound and modelled sound from the guitar.
Can you give us a bit more information on what you are connecting your guitar to (POD HD500 etc... or direct from 1/4" to amp)? How loud is the volume form your monitors? - in other words is it loud enough to drown out the acoustic sound of the guitar?
Can you record a short clip and post it here with some notes on the guitar's physical settings.
Have you updated your guitar's flash memory to the latest version (1.71). If your guitar arrived with version 1.60 installed, then updating the flash memory is a must really, and even if the guitar does have version 1.70 or 1.71 installed then it's still a good idea to re-flash in my opinion as doing so may well resolve the issue.
by wardc33 on 2012-01-19 05:30:19.7650
As far as the acoustic vs modelled sound from the guitar what concerned me was that even in the drop D alternate tuning, the A string was off pitch and significantly lower in volume. If it's only drop D, the A string should be the same pitch regardless..
I'll try flashing this morning and see if that resolves the issue.
by wardc33 on 2012-01-19 07:08:41.9030
Update: Reinstalling the flash did not fix the problem..
I have tried going from the guitar straight to an amp via 1/4", as well as playing through my old POD xtLive (to both amp and through headphones).
by Nick_Mattocks on 2012-01-19 07:38:45.6280
That's a pity. The XT Live using VDI is not capable of receiving two digital audio channels and keeping them separated like the X3 Live/Pro with the latest f/w and HD500/Pro are.
Can you post a sound clip and supporting notes?
by wardc33 on 2012-01-19 11:03:48.5700
For some reason it won't let me attach an mp3 sound clip...
by Nick_Mattocks on 2012-01-19 11:16:10.4080
This is probably browser specific, but if you can zip the mp3 it should attach. I alternately use Google Chrome and IE9 for these forums. Google Chrome doesn't show the Add attachment button when you first create your reply, but if you go back in and edit your reply, the button is there.
by Line6david on 2012-01-19 11:22:55.3400
+1 to Nick,
I would like to hear a sound clip of this behavior before making further judgements.
Line 6 Customer Support
by wardc33 on 2012-01-19 12:28:40.3640
Here is a recording of what is happening. Basically this is just a 1/4" cable into a digital recorder from my JTV.
I'm only hitting open strings, lowest to highest. The order is:
Magnetic pickups, Modeling on in standard, Modeling on in drop D, Modeling on in 1/2 down, Modeling on in drop Db, Modeling on in 1 down, and Modeling on in DADGAD.
You can hear the first two notes are quieter, and in a few of the tunings there are multiple tones on the first two strings.
Let me know what you think!
by Jehferson on 2012-01-23 13:36:49.2310
Dear Nick
I bought my guitar yesterday in a street store. Same model and almost with the same problem. Unfortunately it was discoverd just in home. I need to play very loud to get a clear sound from tuned strings. It seems like a echo in another tune. All drivers updated.
by thomas_d_stevens on 2012-02-01 08:53:46.2280
I've been having this problem too with my JTV-69US. Virtual capo/custom tuning will give me two pitches on the same string.

Curious if you've discovered the solution to this yet. My JTV has started to do the same thing in alt turnings.
by bcoellier on 2012-03-05 14:22:52.4990
I have just receive my JTV 69 this week end, analog problem on the two up string ( B, E) at the begining : like a small mixing with original string sound and alternative tuning sound (for example in dadgad). I have used an headphone to be sure.
I have done a factory reset on alter tuning without success. I have reloaded the guitar firmware (flash memory 1.71) :
Now, problem on every string!!! alt tune are unusable...
If you know the solution about this ticket, can you tell me where i can find it?
I have changed my variax 600 especialy for new alt tuning features.
by geriatric on 2012-03-06 04:49:08.8330
Hi bcoellier
See my same problem at http://line6.com/support/thread/78699 and what I've tried. There's something definitely amiss in some guitars and I suspect its hardware related.
by filtertip on 2012-05-12 01:35:12.1760
I have exactly the same issue. A noticeable "warble", mainly on acoustic models but also on alternate tunings on the electrics and especially prevalent on 12 string models. Most noticeable in the Eb tuning. It happens when just using the jack or just the VDI cable.
As others have mentioned, it seems to be something to do with the signal being mixed from the pickups and the piezos. This is a PITA - anyone have any suggestions?
by anonyrat on 2012-05-14 20:13:18.9720
My JTV59 came out of the bag yesterday brand new and as I am a long time tele player tried the tele's. The first thing I noticed was that the A string was lower in volume than the E and D. Weird I thought.
So in workbench I have set individual string volumes at 0.9 for all except A which I left at 1.0 - Will tweak these over the next couple of days to see if it gets better. The first tweak (above) did seem to correct the problem a bit.
by anonyrat on 2012-05-15 16:43:05.5850
Just to add to my answer above - The settings of all 9 plus 1.0 was a bit like a scatter gun approach. Went and tinkered some more and now I have a really balanced string set - some were set down to 0.6 and up to the A on 1.0. I am glad that feature is part of the edit.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Smoking linked to two-thirds of cancer deaths in African American men
A new analysis by Bruce Leistikow, associate professor of public health sciences, links tobacco smoke to 63 percent of cancer deaths among African American men in the United States. The smoke-related cancer death burden for African American men is highest in the South at 67 percent, with the lowest burden 43 percent in the Northeast. The percentage is 60 in the West and 63 in the Midwest. The study appeared in the August 2005 issue of Preventive Medicine.
"There is a lot of confusion about what causes the worst cancers those that destroy families by ending lives prematurely. This study clarifies that the best explanation for most premature cancer deaths for African American males is tobacco smoke exposure, whether from secondhand or active smoking," Leistikow said. still looking for man smoking.

Trust. Diligence. Customer Service.
After 11 years of working experience, I have concluded that every real estate transaction requires three characteristics- trust, diligence and customer service. It is these three principals that I place above all others. Nonetheless, in order to be a competent and successful Real Estate Broker these three traits alone are simply not enough. An agent must also be able to find the right property match, based on price and location as they are equally important.

"We were newlyweds who came to Pej looking for our first home. Pej worked very hard for us, providing a variety of listings within our price range in several areas of the city, and negotiating to get us a good deal. He took us to view condos and single-family houses and educated us on what to look for in a property, current market conditions and fair asking prices. He made the entire process easy and smooth – from making an offer, through getting a mortgage, to final closing. He's a true professional who we'll recommend to our friends and family!
We started this process knowing nothing about the real estate market or buying a house. We are delighted to have benefited from Pej's help and expertise and could not be more happy with the property he found for us! "
