In his own words, here is Joseph Skibell's Book Notes music playlist for his essay collection My Father's Guitar and Other Imaginary Things:
In June 2011, I found myself sitting at Pierre Bensusan's dinner table in Chateau-Thierry, a little medieval town outside of Paris. I was one of nine students who'd come to study with the great French guitarist for a week. Pierre and his wife Dorotea welcomed us graciously to their home, putting us up in the various rooms of their old farmhouse where they live.
I'd never traveled overseas alone before. If you asked our friends, I'm sure they'd tell you that, of the two of us, my wife Barbara is the practical, levelheaded one. Usually, when she and I arrive somewhere, I'm overeager to leave the airport and get into town as quickly, as heedlessly, as possible. But now, traveling solo, I understood Barbara's reticence, her calm, slow sense of restraint.
"Okay, okay," I told myself, "all you have to do is pick up your guitar and your bag at baggage claim. Proceed slowly and calmly. As long as you're in the airport, you'll be in a more or less Anglophonic environment. Ask for help if you need to, then make your way to the train station, purchase a ticket for la Gare du Nord. Move slowly and do not panic!"
(I speak a little French, but not well and not fluently. On the train into town, for instance, I asked two nice-seeming gray-haired women, "Où est la Gare du Nord?" "Guerre?" they said. "Oui," I said. They shook their heads uncomprehendingly. "Non, non, GARE," they told me, "GARE," the word rhyming with BAR and FAR and CAR and not with BEAR and FAIR and CARE, as I had pronounced it, seemingly asking them to direct me to the northern front of the war.)
A complete amateur as a musician, I carried this feeling of being in over mon tête into dinner that night at the Bensusans', confessing to Pierre that I felt a little chagrined about having come all this way. "It's ridiculous. I mean, I feel like I've traveled halfway across the world to ask Mozart to teach me to whistle."
(This was only a slight exaggeration. Pierre is an extraordinary musician. That evening, for instance, we all listened dumbfounded from the other room as he set the table, whistling a melody while humming a complementary bass part.)
"Why are you here then?" he asked me.
"I don't know. I guess I'm impulsive," I said, and I suppose I am.
Two summers before, based upon a total misapprehension, I set out on a road trip with my daughter Samantha across North America, visiting master guitar builders in search of my father's imaginary guitar. (It's too long a story to tell here, but you can read about it in the title piece of my new collection, My Father's Guitar and Other Imaginary Things.) As a result of that trip and over the course of the intervening years, I've acquired a number – there's no need to go into the exact number – of beautiful handmade guitars.
I've played guitar since I was nine, taking my first lessons from a lanky hippie iconoclast named Spider Johnson at Harrod Music Co. in Lubbock, Texas. In my mid-20s, as I concentrated more on writing, I began playing less and less; and in the intervening years, my ear, I guess, became more sophisticated. Though, as a kid, I could sit for hours on my bedroom floor with my blue Fender Mustang pulled tightly against my chest, strumming "Ride, Captain, Ride" and Dan Fogelberg's "Part of the Plan," as an adult picking up the instrument again, I found I needed more of a musical challenge. Also, with these beautiful guitars in my possession, I had to up my game. Otherwise, it'd be too much like playing "Chopstix" on Steinway Grand.
The week with Pierre, I'm happy to report, was transformative. Flying home, listening to my iPod, I could hear music – in fact, I could hear into music -- in a way I never had before. I began playing everyday again, just as I had as a kid, and the music I listened to while working on My Father's Guitar and Other Imaginary Things was really mostly the songs I was playing myself, and these included a number of pieces by Pierre.
"Hymn 11" appears on Pierre's 2005 album Altiplanos. Although written ostensibly as a memorial to the martyrs of 9/11, the piece, Pierre told us in his sunny practice room, "is really about sustain."
He meant sustain in a musical sense, of course. But here's a funny thing: there's no true legato on a guitar. Thanks to the frets, you can't actually connect one note to the next, but a guitarist can create the impression of legato by letting notes rings out -- or sustain -- as long as possible.
(In the wake of the terrible disruptions 9/11 created in our society, followed by a near-decade of fraudulent war, followed in turn by a near-decade of worldwide ideological violence, one might very well suspect that it's only our illusions that sustain us.)
"Hymn 11" begins with a quiet eight-note theme, the melody ascending and returning to the opening note before ascending higher. This is followed by a kind of meandering rumination. At times, you can hear a wedding march, at times a children's song, in the piece's hymn-like phrases. Despite its sonorous beauty as it moves into a majestic second part built upon a series of ringing open chords, despite the melody's tendency to ascend higher and higher, despite the song's having been composed in a major key, melancholy, mourning and sadness are unmistakable beneath the song's tender sense of joy.
Even in the third part, a nine-bar dance with a light samba feel, the blue notes, a flatted 7th not quite making the ascent to the octave, temper the ecstasy while bringing a sweet, sultry edge into the dance.
Having reached its climax, the dance takes a seven-note leap down, a descent that is somehow equally joyous and somber, dissolving into a restatement of the opening, played this time as a lullaby backed by chords that sound as though someone were placing his entire forearm against a piano's keyboard.
The piece concludes with a four-chord statement that descends slowly but inevitably, a descent made bearable by the composer's sense of beauty and benediction.
"Silent Passenger" (on the album Intuite) is probably my favorite of all Pierre's pieces, and certainly it's my favorite piece to play. It's hard to know exactly what the song is about, but the title is evocative: Who, I've always wonder, is driving – the piece's rolling quarter-note triplets bring to mind the feeling of a car trip through winding mountain roads – and who is the silent passenger? And why is the silent passenger silent?
We all know that moment in a long car trip when the initial elation of setting out has passed, the conversation exhausts itself, and you and your companion stare out at the road in silence. But that moment is obviously not what this song, with its bright sense of wandering, is about. The score is too full of glissandos and tremolos and trills and appegiated runs for that, and all these little grace notes create a sense of, well, grace, a sense of continually slipping into place.
And so who is the silent passenger?
The soul is a traveler, according to the philosopher Gabriel Marcel. "It is of the soul and of the soul alone that we can say that being means being on the way." For me, that's what this song is about: the soul is the passenger within each of us, the stowaway who takes the trip with us, and whose silence, if we listen closely to it, is more profound than any music or words.
Edgar Yipsel "Yip" Harburg was one of the writers of the Great American Songbook. Unlike many of the lyricists and composers of his time – most of them children of Jewish immigrants all living on the Lower East Side: George and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, and Harold Arlen – Harburg was too poor to dedicate himself to songwriting. He was probably the only person in America who welcomed the Great Depression: it wiped out the little electrical appliance business he owned and set him free at last to follow his dream.
Harburg wound up in Hollywood at one point, editing the final script and writing the lyrics for The Wizard of Oz. His musical collaborator, Harold Arlen, had had an aural revelation one evening driving down Sunset Boulevard with his wife behind the wheel. "Stop the car!" Arlen shouted at her. "I've got it!" His wife, the gorgeous showgirl Anya Taranda, pulled over right in front of Schwab's Drugstore. And it was there that Arlen wrote down the music he was hearing in his head, a big brassy show tune with an octave leap between the first two notes.
Though it was already past midnight, the two dashed over to Harburg's house.
"I've got the final number!" Arlen shouted. Sitting down at the piano, he banged out the chords, giving them a grand, symphonic sweep. "I don't hear it," Harburg said. "Not for our little Dorothy!" Arlen was certain this was the tune they needed to complete the score, and they decided to play the tune for Ira Gershwin, who lived nearby. "It's great," Gershwin said, "but stop banging it out. Play it as a ballad instead."
Arlen toned it down. He played the piece with a gentle, simple elegance, and it became the song we all know today as "Over the Rainbow." Although we wouldn't know it today if the studio heads had gotten their way. "It's a love song sung to a dog by a teenager in a barnyard!" Louis B. Meyer told them. "There's no way it's staying in the picture." Harburg persisted, and Meyer ultimately relented, keeping the song in "as a favor for the boys."
With the composer Jay Gorney, Harburg also wrote "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?" a bitter lament about the American dream gone sour and perhaps the greatest song to come out of the Depression. The song's narrator is a doughboy returned home from the First World War, reduced to begging on the street:
Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum!
The guitarist Mark Hanson has a brilliant arrangement of the song for solo guitar (published in his Great American Songbook), which I've been working on for a while now. Hanson emphasizes the song's bitterness and its sense of outrage, qualities absent from, say, Bing Crosby's more sentimental version. Hanson adds in a bluesy minor-key rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and the saddest version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" you'll ever heard in your life.
But for some reason, he doesn't include the introduction, the segmented verse, the part that begins "They used to tell me I was building a dream/And so I followed the mob …" I love this part, and so I found the sheet music online. Employing all the musical theory I could recall from my childhood piano lessons, I transposed the intro's melody into the key Hanson uses, raised it an octave for the guitar, daubed some jazz chord around it and didn't do half a bad job, if I say so myself.
The arrangement isn't difficult to play, but it's difficult to play with musicality, and I'm still working on memorizing the second half of the piece.
There's music everywhere. During the 1960s, for instance, the Lubavitcher Rebbe sent two young rabbis out to college campuses in the US in the hopes of bringing disaffected Jews back into the fold. These two young Chabadniks, venturing out into the wilds of academia during this era of free love, psychedelic drugs and cultural syncretism, were Shlomo Carlebach and his brother-in-spiritual-mischief, Zalman Schachter (later Schachter-Shalomi). As it turned out, the young hippie college student seemed to have as much influence on these two "holy rascals" as the two of them had on the kids.
In addition to being a congregational rabbi, a pastor, a counselor, a storyteller, and a theologian, Carlebach – it's well known – was a singer and a composer and basically a pop star. (His album At the Village Gate, released in 1963 on Vanguard, was in every household I knew as a kid and it's still in print.) Perhaps less well known is the fact that Reb Zalman, in addition to being all these other things, was, though not a pop star, a composer as well.
Some years ago, I heard the jazz pianist and synagogue cantor Richard Kaplan singing Reb Zalman's "Bati LeGani." It's one of the most moving melodies I'd ever heard, sinuous and full of erotic longing. (You can hear it on Kaplan's CD, Life of the Worlds: Journeys in Jewish Sacred Music.) The lyrics, taken from the Song of Songs, are lovely in English:
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride.
I have gathered my myrrh and my spice.
The voice of my beloved knocks. "Open to me, my sister, my love"
But they're even more beautiful in Hebrew:
Bati legani, akhoti, khala.
Ariti mori im besami.
Kol dodi dofek, "Pitkhi li, akhoti, ra'yati.
Kaplan adorns Reb Zalman's lovesick melody with McCoy Tyner-like jazz chord. Curious about the piece, I wrote Kaplan, asking about it, and he faxed me Reb Zalman's sheet music annotated with his own handwritten chord substitutions. The arrangement that emerged under my own playing is similar if not exactly the same – my ear isn't quite that good – but (I'm happy to say) it's pretty gorgeous nonetheless.
Andres Segovia famously said that the guitar is a little orchestra, but as the jaw-droppingly amazing work of Michael Chapdelaine proves, it's also a rock 'n' roll band. Somehow, the classically-trained Chapdelaine is able to play all the parts of various pop records on his lone solo guitar. Listen to his Chapdelaine's version of the Beatles' "Come Together" and "Something," for instance – he regularly posts videos on YouTube – and you'll hear Ringo's syncopated beats, McCartney's sinuous bass lines, and Harrison's (and/or Eric Clapton's) eloquent solos, along with the Beatles' complex vocal harmonies.
Michael runs the guitar program at the University of New Mexico and I spent a week a few summers ago studying with him. He's a profound teacher, openhearted and generous. As a person, I'd characterize him as a transcendental hedonist, his head in the clouds of Buddhist knowing, his body planted firmly on the earth. When, for instance, I called to tell him I'd arrived in Santa Fe, where apparently he once lived, he told me, "I mourn for Santa Fe!"
That's probably what makes him a great musician, I thought to myself. Because if someone mentioned Santa Fe to me, I might say, "Yeah, I lived in Northern New Mexico in the '80s, and I guess I kind of miss it." But Michael seemed to have no trouble expressing an unadulterated emotional truth.
In any case, Michael's arrangement of "She's Leaving Home" is a miracle of compression. With only six strings to work with, he brings the song (as well as the Beatles' recording of it) to life. If you play it with a sensitive touch, you can hear not only Mike Leander's orchestral score with its opening harp figure, but also the gentle overlapping of McCartney and Lennon's vocal lines.
On the video, Michael makes playing it look easy. At this point, I can barely scrap through it.
Music fills the pages of My Father's Guitar and Other Imaginary Things as these days it fills my life. If I mourn Chapdelaine-like for anything, it's for the 20-odd years I let my guitar gather dust in a corner of the room. It was worth it, I suppose. I'm happy being a writer. Still, it seems to me, that's the problem with life: we all have too many lives to live and only one life to fit them into. I could go on and on about this, but for now, anyway, it's time to get back to my playing.

Next: Evaluating code blocks, Previous: Exporting code blocks, Up: Working with source code [Contents][Index]
Extracting source code from code blocks is a basic task in literate programming. Org has features to make this easy. In literate programming parlance, documents on creation are woven with code and documentation, and on export, the code is tangled for execution by a computer. Org facilitates weaving and tangling for producing, maintaining, sharing, and exporting literate programming documents. Org provides extensive customization options for extracting source code.
When Org tangles 'src' code blocks, it expands, merges, and transforms them. Then Org recomposes them into one or more separate files, as configured through the options. During this tangling process, Org expands variables in the source code, and resolves any Noweb style references (see Noweb reference syntax).
:tangle no
By default, Org does not tangle the 'src' code block on export.
:tangle yes
Org extracts the contents of the code block for the tangled output. By default, the output file name is the same as the Org file but with a file extension derived from the language identifier of the 'src' code block.
:tangle filename
Override the default file name with this one for the tangled output.
Tangle the current file. Bound to C-c C-v t.
With prefix argument only tangle the current 'src' code block.
Choose a file to tangle. Bound to C-c C-v f.
This hook runs from within code tangled by
org-babel-tangle, making it
suitable for post-processing, compilation, and evaluation of code in the
tangled files.
Debuggers normally link errors and messages back to the source code. But for
tangled files, we want to link back to the Org file, not to the tangled
source file. To make this extra jump, Org uses
org-babel-tangle-jump-to-org function with two additional source code
block header arguments: One, set
padline (see padline) to true
(the default setting). Two, set
comments (see comments) to
link, which makes Org insert links to the Org file.

5 Ways Cloud Hosting Can Transform your Lives in 2018!
Cloud computing is becoming the most familiarized and popular tem amongst the IT professionals and entrepreneurs, which is more expected to boom in the upcoming year. The support of proactive environment and empowering virtual services of cloud, different applications are accessible remotely. Depending on the niche, every business is going to be benefitted with diversified range of benefits with cloud hosting.
In the dynamic world of digital media, every business makes efforts to outshine others. While you get in the world of e-commerce, you need to pay very close attention to each and every technical issue of the web industry. You can never build a website in a breeze until you have a germ of an idea and creativity.
These days, cloud hosting has been the most frequently used service in web hosting industry. All the smart business owners are expected to choose cloud hosting in the year 2018 as it is the safest way of doing business in the current world.
What is cloud hosting?
Contrarily the physical servers (dedicated and shared servers), cloud hosting is an excellent service that is provided on virtual servers to spread the data, files, resources, bandwidth, and computing operations among multiple physical servers that are networked to act as one system. As a result, any single chance of failure is eliminated through this distributed solution.
The similar principle of web-based email is operated that allows customers to access a wide range of features and files of the system without cramming that system on their own computers.
The usage of cloud hosting in the current business world makes you powerful enough to fulfill your unique needs of building the optimal set of computing resources. Following are the five ways that are expected to change the lives of cloud hosting consumers.
1. Minimum Operational Glitches
When the cloud hosting is deployed, it reduces the time spent on the variety of issues and defects significantly. Plus the business continuity is increased when focusing more on the things that matter the most. A lot of organizations are making sure to get the maximum advantage of this kind of hosting to get their unrivaled results every time. With the use of design patterns, deployment of application services and pre-build images also get much easier.
2. Security
One way or another, security is the major element in the privacy of any business kind. And since in cloud hosting, the responsibility of upgrades of security issues, emergence of new features and infrequent bug fix is put on the cloud software vendor; mostly people get it the most risky thing. But the fact is, the cloud hosting keeps all the files, documents, programs, and data more secure than nothing.
A cloud host that you hire only allows you to access that data remotely keeping other cyber criminals at a bay.
3. Mobility
In such fast moving world, everyone wants everything on the go. Cloud hosting cooperates in this scenario very much by offering the access to data through smartphone and devices. The set up considers that there are more than 2.6 billion smartphone users all over the world; they must not be left out of the loop. Plus, another advantage is that the staff members with busy schedules or the people living a long way away from the corporate site may be kept updated about the activities associated with clients and customers through this quirky feature.
4. Quality control
On the way to success, there are many harmful things that come over including inconsistent reporting and quality control. Keeping all the documents, files, images, and date on the cloud based system, it is guaranteed that the database is stored safely. And when everyone has an access to similar information, it helps in maintenance of consistency in data, have a clear record of all the updates, and avoid any sort human error. Simultaneously, when organizations manages information in such databases, it avoids leading the users towards different versions of saved documents that may eventually result in confusion.
It has also seen that a variety of quality management systems grow with changing processes and adaptability. Cloud-based hosting is very much flexible with its inherent infrastructures that enables you to manage the loads a lot more quickly. Unlike other physical servers (shared and dedicated servers), these are never force by the limitations. Due to some server's downtime, you get out of luck in the cloud, and additional memory is automatically added.
5. Prevention of Data Loss
If your local hardware comes up with some problem, odds are good that it might end up losing the data unless the organization has invested in cloud-hosting solution. Computer system may cease to function or perform efficiently for many reasons including its hardware's depreciation, viral infection, and any other simple error. More often, it is considered as the common problem that must be paid attention.
And if all the valuable data that resides in your office computers must not be backed up on the clouds, the organization may end up losing the data permanently. On the upside, it remains quite safe and secure when uploaded to the cloud servers and easily accessible from any computer connected to the internet, however if you aren't using a computer on regular basis.
Cloud computing is becoming the most familiarized and popular tem amongst the IT professionals and entrepreneurs, which is more expected to boom in the upcoming year. The support of proactive environment and empowering virtual services of cloud, different applications are accessible remotely. Plus, they cut down the paper waste while improving the energy efficiency and reducing the system-related emissions.
In addition, the aforementioned benefits are strong enough to transform the lives of all entrepreneurs from small to even corporate level. Now that they are well aware of the importance of moving their databases into the cloud, nothing would stop them to come off. Depending on the niche, every business is going to be benefitted with diversified range of benefits with cloud hosting.
In the end, it won't be wrong saying that the cloud hosting of a company may work as a big asset for its owners since no data is at risk. If you are ready to take advantage of this form of hosting that is consistent and provide you competitive edge, it is advisable to jumpstart with it right now.

Who are you?
I have lived in Windsor since 2002, along with my supportive husband of 17 years. I am a pediatrician in the north end of Hartford, an Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and a faculty member for the Pediatric Residency Program at CT Children's Medical Center. I graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a BS in Biochemistry, received my DO degree from Midwestern University's Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed my Pediatric Residency at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. I have been on the Town Council for 6 years, serving as the Deputy Mayor for the past 4 years, and currently chair the Finance Committee and the Personnel Committee. Previously I chaired the Health and Safety Committee and was a member of the Town Improvements Committee. I also co-founded the Windsor Dog Park, served as Co-Chair for the Windsor Youth Commission, am a member of Windsor CARES and an active supporter of local causes.
Why are you running?
I believe our town has been well served by the Democratic leadership on the council. I have been on the town council for the past 6 years and have gained skills and knowledge that I would like to continue utilizing to keep Windsor well-positioned on a strong and stable path into the future.
What do you love about Windsor?
I love the people of Windsor. There are so many active groups in town, each doing their part to make Windsor a great place to live. From the various volunteer and service groups to supporters of the Windsor Art Center, Friends of Northwest Park, sports for kids and adults, annual events on the town green, various religious organizations, the Food and Fuel Bank, Windsor Education Foundation, Windsor Historical Society, volunteers for town boards and commissions, to name a few. I love how everyone does their part to contribute to the sense of community and neighborliness that is found in Windsor.
What do you think the council should focus on over the next 2 years?
The immediate concerns will be fiscal. Depending on how the state budget plays out and the adjustments made to the state aid Windsor receives, we may need to make some big decisions on priorities- what we want to fund and what we will delay. This includes spending on education, infrastructure, services, staffing, pension and OPEB payments, and open space. The largest project we have coming up in the near future is the Public Safety Complex. There are a few options for this project, each with pros and cons that will need to be thoroughly explored in the new fiscal landscape.
We should also continue to pursue opportunities for citizens to be engaged with local government, including through social media, through workshops and meetings, continuing to offering experiences similar to the Citizens Academy to educate residents, and promoting open dialogue between the police dept and residents including our youth.
Why should people vote for you?
I enjoy being an active part of our community and serving my fellow citizens as a town councilor. I take pride in working hard and being well-informed on the issues in front of me. I try to keep an open mind and clearly listen to both sides of a discussion, looking for opportunities to compromise if needed but also willing to stand up for what I believe is right.

We were asking some people where to get a real good cheesecake. You know New York style cheesecake, with that sour cream layer on top? Well, we wanted to hunt it down (or at least I did). So after some suggestions (some were too far), we decided to come here after breakfast.
The outside we didn't notice too quickly because of the construction or improvements going around it. But there was a tarp so we did see it as we went closer. Upon entering, it reminded me of a cupcake place that's frequent nowadays, but what it would have looked like in the 60s. It was a huge store, with maybe 30 people to dine in. They serve coffee, some meals, but mostly desserts.
We took our time looking at the many items on display. Matt limited me to two (he knew I would end up ordering too much if he let me, but still two was too much) pieces and I already knew the cheesecake was one. I couldn't decide on the other one and let Matt pick that one out, plus his own.
So we had three goodies. The cheesecake, a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting, and a cinnamon roll. We stayed inside to finish the cheesecake as Matt drank his coffee. And the others, we had in Central Park after a quick nap.
You know that moment when you take a bite and you just cannot keep saying how good it was? Yup. That happened to me, several times, in all the goodies. The cheesecake was dense, creamy, coating your tongue good. I love it that I had to push it away several times to stop gorging on it. But ended up pulling it back close to me anyway. The cupcake was cakey, which I usually didn't like. But the frosting on it matched so well with the cupcake. And it felt like what a good old-fashioned chocolate cake is! It was gooood. The cinnamon roll was also good, Matt inhaled it, but to be honest, it isn't sticking to my brain how good it tasted. So it wasn't that memorable maybe for me. But damn that store, glad I live far away from it otherwise, hello 30 more pounds.

Scott C. Gayle has received the Governor Terry Sanford Achievement Award for his efforts in helping to secure the continuation of the Governor's School of North Carolina for 2012 and beyond.
The service award was presented to Gayle by Jim Hart, President of the Governor's School Alumni Association, at the 50th Anniversary celebration of the Governor's School held at Salem College in Winston-Salem on July 14, 2012.
Governor's School was founded by Governor Terry Sanford in 1963 as a residential summer program for gifted and talented rising high school seniors across the state, and is held annually at Salem College and Meredith College for 600 students concentrating in fields ranging from science and math to music and drama.
Traditional state funding for the Governor's School was lost in 2011 when the legislature made deep cuts to the state's education budget on the eve of the school's 50th year.
As a member of the board and Fundraising Chair of the non-profit North Carolina Governor's School Foundation, Gayle led a successful seven month campaign that raised over $700,000 from interested corporations, foundations and the school's 32,000 alumni, which the Foundation donated to the Department of Public Instruction to privately fund both campuses of the Governor's School for 2012. Gayle also participated in advocacy efforts by the Foundation which resulted in restoration of state funding for the Governor's School in the 2013 budget on a recurring basis.
Gayle attended Governor's School in 1968 in math. He has served on the board of the Governor's School Foundation since 2010.

Rise of Flight puts you in the air over the Western Front during the First World War, where brave pilots fought each other for control of the air above the bloody trenches. In aircraft made of canvas and wood they battled to the death. While some survived to become legends and Aces, most met a fiery fate.
The battle takes place on the Western front, on a map of 125,000 square kilometers of French terrain, designed according to the historical maps and information from the war years of 1914-1918.
Each aircraft and the simulation of its respective engine and weapons is modeled in great detail. Furthermore, the game renders damage to the aircraft resulting from airframe stress, battle damage, fire, and collisions.
This simulation features an advanced flight model that simulates the unique handling characteristics of World War I aircraft. It has a detailed and progressive damage model, even tracking the trajectory of every bullet and shell fragment. Aircraft collisions with obstacles (earth or water) are simulated on the basis of collision-physics and hydrodynamics theory. Ballistics of various types are also modeled.
There is multi-layered model of wind and turbulence taking into account the influence of the Earth's surface. Physical properties of the atmosphere are calculated over a wide altitude range, taking into account temperature and pressure, creating a realistic flying environment for your battle.
In addition to the progressive Dynamic Career Mode, Online Combat allows pilots to engage in massively exciting multi-player combat in what has been hailed as the best WWI combat simulation ever released.

This is the fruit of Maggie's first solo note writing endeavor. I think it is excellent and darling. For those who don't get to hear Mags chit-chatting, this is actually a perfect application of phonics – there is no "r" in "from". She was working on it very busily during Ian Lugg's sermon that night and was quite proud of her accomplishment when she gave it to me. She said she had missed me that day (she had spent part of it with some friends) and wanted to write me a letter. I will be treasuring this indefinitely.

Ye Repent
book has been reprinted by Soli Deo Gloria Publications in recent
years under the title Unless
You Repent
and the text has been changed from the King James Version to the NIV. I
got my original copy (which can also be downloaded at some places
on the internet) and prefer it to the newer reprint. However, there
is a publishers commentary in the back of the newer version which
discusses why Ironside wrote his book on repentance. The history
lesson found there is worth the price of the newer version of the
book itself has seventeen chapters and begins with an explanation of
the nature and importance of the subject. He goes on to discuss what
Jesus, John the Baptist, Peter, Paul, and other biblical writers say
about repentance. He deals with major repentance texts in scripture
including 2 Corinthians 7:10, 11; Hebrews 6:1; Revelation 2:21-22;
3:3, 19; 9:20, 21; and many others. An excellent chapter is Chapter
11 "Does God Ever Repent?" which deals with the idea of the
meaning of the word as it relates to God Himself. Chapter 16 (The
Preaching That Produces Repentance) and Chapter 17 (But Is Repentance
Desirable?) provide tremendous material for pastors, preachers and
teacher of the Bible.
the current theological climate, repentance tends to be deemphasized
or replaced with a meaning that is inaccurate. It is this reviewer's
position that repentance should be emphasized and explained as a
change of mind or a change of inner disposition which ultimately
leads to a change of action. Repentance is not works or promising to
be the best person you could possibly be. But without the attitude
of repentance a person will not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ in
order to be saved. With this Dr. Ironside would agree. Attention
given to Dr. Ironside's writings, especially those dealing with
salvation topics, would help bring balance back into the church. This
emphasis might be the key to a much needed revival.
Review by Jimmy Stallard

years ago I thought about writing a book on the
subject of the family and children. Rather than some simple fluff
that sells in the bookstores, my thought was to write something
comprehensive that would serve as a study manual for those interested
in what the Bible had to say. Then came a book on children that was
just what I was looking for. The title is "Precious
In His Sight" with a subtitle "Childhood
Children in the Bible." While not dealing with
directly, it does deal with the
subject of marriage in relationship to the children in a powerful
way. I found this book to be the comprehensive manual that a
believer could use as a guide in studying the Bible for
author, Roy B. Zuck, is a professor at Dallas
Theological Seminary and is an accomplished author. His major
credentials for writing this comprehensive book on children might be
his six grandchildren pictured on the dedication page! The thirteen
chapters on the table of contents page include many Bible verses that
serve as the basis for that chapter. For example chapter one is "Let
the Children Come to Me" – the Challenge of Children. Other
chapter headings include the topics "Children Doomed to
Misfortune", "To Whom Shall We Go", "You Shall Not Murder",
"In the Way He Should Go", and "Honor Your Father and Mother."
Especially interesting were chapters three, five, and six. In
chapter three Zuck deals with the issue of which authority we must
turn to in order to discover how raise children.
rejects the government as the answer and tells us
to get back to the Bible. In chapter five he deals extensively with
what the Bible says about abortion. He gives a brief history of
abortion and a detailed examination of many passages of scripture.
Chapter six deals with the size of the family and has the title "Full
Quiver." He includes in this chapter a study of the extended
family. Included in the book are several chapters about Jesus and
His teaching on the subject, Christ's attitude toward children, and
an examination of Christ's own childhood.
found the book to be very thorough, helpful, and thought-provoking. At
the end of the book is a lengthy scripture index that enhances its
value for Bible study. I highly recommend this book to anyone
desiring to find out what the Bible says about children and how we
should relate to them. It is worth its weight in gold for the mother
or father who would be willing to study it through to find answers to
the questions they have within their family.
Review by
by William P. Young
by Dr. Austin B. Tucker
begins with an introduction explaining the "noble
task" of pastoring and then
takes us on a journey of fifteen chapters covering everything from the
pastorate, counseling, pulpit work, leadership skills, managing
conflict, doing
weddings and funerals, and the ethics a pastor should live by. He also
with such issues as the bivocational pastor and the special ministries
pastor performs as a teacher, evangelist, and leader in observing the
ordinances. He closes the book with two final chapters that exhort a
pastor to
be a good steward of his time and to arrange his private life properly.
Tucker was my homiletics professor when I was in seminary thirty years
ago. I
can still hear his voice on every page. The book is astoundingly
simple, yet
perfectly profound. He takes us through the mine fields of issues that
pastors such as the relationship a pastor has with other pastors, the
of divorce and remarriage, or how to get an evangelism program working
in your
church. The precision and clarity with which the author writes will
warm the
pastor's heart and challenge his mind. I believe that no
matter how much
experience a pastor has in the ministry, he will never outgrow his need
learn and apply lessons of leadership and pastoring. Any help he can
get will
be a benefit to him personally and to his congregation.
I would
recommend A Primer For Pastors to every
Bible-believing pastor in the
country. It should occupy a special place near his desk so that he can
and quickly get help for a time of need. Dr. Tucker has done his fellow
preachers and pastors a great service with a fabulous book that should
be a
blessing to multitudes.

simple but

Why do
saved people persevere? All of these and more are answered by Spurgeon.

concluding chapter is a direct word to the person who has read the book
all the
way through, and who might be entertaining the possibility of becoming
Christian. Spurgeon pleads with earnest passion to
the lost soul to come
to Christ saying "I beseech you, do not turn away
from your Redeemer!"
Spurgeon also prays for his reader and implores
him... "To receive
all as a free gift preserves the mind from self righteous pride and
self-accusing despair." He closes the book with a
powerful declaration...
"Meet me in heaven! Do not go down to hell...Remember, O
soul, it may be now or
never with you. Let it be now; it would be horrible if it would be
never. Again
I charge you, meet me in heaven." This is one of
the most powerful books on
salvation ever written. Every Christian should digest it so as to
become an
effective witness in presenting gospel truth. Copies of this simple
book should
be distributed to our unsaved friends who desperately need the Savior

The old
saying is that the best gifts come in small packages.
Never has this been evidenced any better
in the small thirty page booklet by John J. Murray entitled Behind
Frowning Providence. The thesis
of the book is taken from William Cowper's famous hymn with
the lines "God
moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform". The hymn
also goes on to
proclaim "Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling
face." On every page
the author deals with trouble, tribulation, and trial.
booklet clearly explains the Providence of God at work in the lives of
Christians. But
more importantly the
author expounds on what he calls "Dark Providences".
He calls for every
believer in Jesus Christ
to study the sufferings we have to go through in this life. The design of God in these
times of our lives
needs to be understood more clearly if we are to bring glory to God in
the midst
of our suffering. However,
the booklet
recognizes that God can bring comfort into our lives even when there
remains a
mystery to what is going on.
author is no armchair theologian who lives in an ivory tower insulated
from the
cares of the world. The
booklet, written
in 1990, is dedicated to his daughter Lynda Joan who died in 1980 at
years of age. The
author has walked the
path before us and has faced dark providences of his own.
However, throughout his
presentation the Word
of God maintains the final authority for our understanding.

Review by Jimmy
The book deals
extensively with what the Bible
teaches about this sectarian group who lived at the time of Jesus. It also gives an in depth
look at the
historical background of this group. Such
chapter headings as "A Common
Caricature", "When Rightness Leads to
Wrongness", "When Bible Knowledge Blinds and
Binds", "When Tradition Twists
Truth", "When Fences Become the Focus",
"When Separatism Leads Us Astray",
etc., reveal that the author wants to take us on a tour of issues
Christians in modern times. He
does so,
not only from a Biblical viewpoint, but tells us of his own personal
in the mine field between Christian living and the culture we have to
live in.
Out of the twelve
chapters there are seven "right
way" articles which amplify what is being taught. These
provide food for
thought concerning the
areas surrounding license, legalism, and liberty. His
conclusion: we
are easily led to become a Pharisee and we
are blinded into
thinking we are "good"
Christians by some of the good things that we do. His
greatest example, in this writer's
opinion, is what is dealt with in chapter eight. This
chapter gives us the essence of
Phariseeism. This chapter, "When Fences Become the
Focus", details how the
Pharisees (and many modern day Christians) build fences around
God's laws and
standards. Then
they tell people that if
they will stay within those fences they will be obeying God's
law. This easily
devolves into following the
traditions of men rather than the commandments of God.
As a Christian,
this reviewer feels that much too
much has been made in
attacking "legalism" and much of God's
holy standards have been discarded under
the idea that we should not be "legalists". However,
one cannot seem to avoid the
that many
believers judge
other believers needlessly expecting them to obey
"their" standards rather than
"God's" standards. This
book published
by Moody Press is well worth the price. While
I do not agree with everything in
it, it
is a
kind of read. It
will greatly help
believers understand the Gospels better and avoid being
"extremely righteous"
in the way the Pharisees lived.
Review by Jimmy
book is divided into three major sections: Granting
Seeking Forgiveness,
and Enjoying Forgiveness. These
give us steps to take to deal with forgiveness issues in our lives. They explain how
unforgiveness gives ground
to Satan and they answer such questions as why we should forgive, why
it is
hard to forgive, and what to do if I don't want to forgive. Forgiveness is explained
so that we can
distinguish between false ideas of it and the true Biblical viewpoint
we, as
Christians, should follow.
A whole chapter is given over to the difficulty
returning to
bitterness when we have already forgiven someone. This
one chapter is worth the book's
the area of seeking forgiveness the authors explain how
relates to true repentance and a clear conscience.
Repentance is more than being convicted
sin, more than mere confession, and more than being sorry you sinned. It is a complete heart
change based on what
is real and true in your life. The
authors point out this significant truth: "If you
are looking for real
repentance, examine love. Forgiven
people, repentant people love more. Not just in sentimentality, but in
endurance, kindness, thinking the best of others, wanting
what's best for
others, keeping a pure tongue, exhibiting patience with those who may
have a
hard time forgiving them (p. 77).
last section of the book describes how to enjoy
forgiveness. It
deals with reconciliation issues, revival,
joy, and peace and further explains the five stages of forgiveness:
Refusing to admit we are hurt.
Blaming others for hurting us.
Setting up conditions which must be met before we will
Blaming ourselves for letting others hurt us.
Learning to look forward to growth from hurt (See

initial chapter, and each section opening, begins with a

We have
been studying this book, dealing with one lie weekly. Many of the lies
have been things that we have faced in our own lives. DeMoss brings
Scripture to bear on each of the falsehoods, showing the superiority of
truth. She deals with a broad range of subjects, and does not shrink
from some
that are controversial or tough.

would also recommend this work for all Christian women, since no one is
from Satan's attacks on God and His Word. We have been

the author has taken up the

book is only 192 pages long and is easily read. But
it is chocked full of eternal
nuggets of
truth. The whole
gamut of
Satanology is discussed
but with a clear picture of the practical sides of these truths. For example, in the
chapter The Serpent's New
Religion the author discusses the five lies of occultism:
esotericism, pantheism,
relativism, and hedonism. He
makes these
concepts understandable to the average person and practical for their
benefit. In the
chapter Closing the Door
When the Serpent Knocks, he deals with how the devil attacks and tempts
with various stages of control. He
deals with seven doors that every believer ought to keep shut when the
knocks. But the
major theme of the book
can be seen in one chapter – The Serpent –
God's Servant. He
quotes Martin Luther who said that "the
serpent is God's serpent" and gives us his own
quote: "He is not the devil you
might have heard about." Too often Christians feel that Satan
is so powerful
that he is almost as big as God.
lie (sometimes called Dualism) is destroyed by Lutzer in this practical
chapter. He explains how God uses Satan to fulfill God's will
in dealing with
the unsaved person, the obedient child of God, and the disobedient
child of
God. In the last
chapter, the author
focuses on the humiliation of Satan. He
points out Christ who delivered the knockout punch will rule
on Satan's
turf. The
victory of God and His
people, while already a fact because of the Cross of Christ will one
day be
manifested on planet earth and Satan will be seen for what he is to the
world – a defeated foe.

5th grade students build racing chariots from Sphero robots. 6th graders create security systems for their lockers from Little Bits components. 3rd grade students use a design process to identify problems and innovate solutions using Google SketchUp.
7th graders construct rubber-band powered cars utilizing the 3D printer in the Maker Space at our North Campus. 1st graders develop and test solutions on Kodable and during their Hour of Code. Middle schoolers research the origins of the minerals used in computer parts and study the impact on the local communities, as well as designing and building their own electronic circuits.
In both our middle and elementary schools, students have been pushing the bounds of their learning in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math.)
Our talented technology teachers, Librarian deana harragarra waters in the elementary school and Director of Technology Stephen Butler in the middle school, inspire our students every day with an ever-evolving curriculum that stays current with the times. Through PLNs (Personal Learning Networks) and keeping up with latest research, our teachers ensure that Friends School's technology curriculum is ahead of the curve.
The goals of our technology courses are broad and deep, preparing students for high school, college and professional careers that await them, careers that may not yet exist. We want our students to be informed global and digital citizens, creative problem solvers, constructors of knowledge and meaning, design solution innovators, outstanding communicators, and thoughtful collaborators.
"Over the past 100 years, literally thousands of studies have shown benefits from the use of technology, while others report higher achievement with classroom instruction, and even more result in "no significant difference." I, like others, believe that such mixed results reveal that the design of instruction makes the difference in learning, not the medium used to deliver the instruction. The question is no longer if technology
- Atsusi Hirumi, PhD Associate Professor, University of Central Florida
That final question drives our instruction. How do we at Friends improve our use of technology to improve learning? Meeting or exceeding ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) standards, Stephen and deana support their students in leveraging technology in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in STEM.

Scientists, after all, are human
germ theory, flat Earth versus round Earth, Galileo's observations, the double helix,
Shroud of Turin, stem-cell research, and climate change
Professor E.A. Shinn, at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg, in a special to the Tampa Tribune asks and answers: Are there two kinds of people? Yes!
As I age, I have come to notice that scientists, although trained to consider only facts, are as susceptible to accepting and promoting one set of facts while rejecting other equally valid sets of data as do laypersons. This is especially true when the facts are similar and especially those based on computer models and when the subject has political or economic implications. Such considerations can mean the difference between getting funding and being unfunded. Scientists, after all, are human, and scientific controversy has always been with us, whether it be germ theory, flat Earth versus round Earth, Galileo's observations, the double helix, Shroud of Turin, stem-cell research, and now the latest, climate change.
Funding for Shroud of Turin research?
November 20, 2014 at 5:29 am
Why the question mark? Are you not aware that the radio carbon labs (at east in UK and US) had government grants to support their flawed carbon dating of the Shroud?
There is one point in Gove's book in which he kind of chortles because one the the STURP scientists who wanted to go to Turin for a conference planing the carbon dating asked Gove if he would use some of his government funds to buy him a ticket to Turin. He didn't buy it for him.
And then if I am not mistaken, the AMS analyzer, a multi-pound item, was obtained by Oxford by a UK government funded grant.
November 20, 2014 at 7:47 am
Of course they are, regardless of what is claimed.
November 20, 2014 at 9:20 am
Scientists can be one-sided and limit themselves to what is convenient to them, depending on their worldview. Einstein limited himself to "Spinoza's God", refusing to look further, Freud was obsessed with Moses, who he later dismissed as an Egyptian. Both of them influenced each other and it does seem that Hawking has been reading RD. Have they reached the truth? No they haven't, they have not heeded Jaspers' advice.
In our increasingly sceptical world, the number of people questioning the Bible has increased considerably, and that is natural. Has science done away with faith? No, it hasn't:
As for 1988, Father Pfeiffer told me during an interview that a lot of pressure had been exerted on the Church. By the time Cardinal Anastasio Ballestrero realised the blunder he had made the damage had been done.
Who was to blame? Was it Professor Luigi Gonella? Daniel Raffard de Brienne refused to attack him during an interview he gave me; he had found the professor to be "extremely friendly",was charmed by him.
The scenario today is different, Rome and Turin have learnt from mistakes, PAS Chancellor Archbishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo is highly qualified, it will need a lot — and the right people — to convince him about more carbon dating.
What can be done meanwhile? Concentrate on the image formation process.

Tacos are a pain in the neck to eat. They're crumbly and they fall apart even before we begin. And how are we supposed to bite into them? Do we turn them on their side so we can bite? Or do we turn our heads on the side instead? But still, I love tacos, so no matter how difficult, I still persist in craning my neck and enjoying every bite. While I'd love to pack them in a bento, I don't think an assembled taco will last the commute to work and assembling them at lunch is just too fussy since I eat at my desk. Instead, I bring along the next greatest Mexican invention after the Taco, the Taco Salad.
The taco salad was made from leftovers from a make-your-own-taco dinner from the night before. I didn't want to let the iceberg lettuce go to waste that's why even if the edges were starting to brown, I still used it. It was still nice and crisp when I tried it anyway, and I'm happy to report that the crunch held up until lunch time. Along with the lettuce, I added ground beef, diced tomatoes, crushed taco shells (stored in a plastic bag to keep it dry until lunch time) and some sour cream (in the little triangular cup that's sealed with cling wrap).
Along with the taco salad, I prepared mini-pizzas with frozen mini pizza crusts, sliced mushrooms, flower-shaped ham and mozzarella. Of course, I stupidly put the ham UNDER the cheese, like I usually do when preparing pizza, forgetting that I took the effort to cut them into flowers. Talk about a wasted effort.
I still had mushrooms on hand so I decided to try a quick experiment. It was quick, tasty and generally a success. An easy to prepare bento side dish that can be easily customized to work with other cheeses and flavorings.
After the mushrooms, I simply added some seedless grapes to add a fruit component and it was all good to go. A rough estimate has me pegging this at 3 servings of fruits and veggies out of the required 5 daily. Not bad, don't you think?
Mozzarella Mushroom Melts v. 10 September 2007
Button mushrooms
Grated Mozzarella cheese
Italian seasoning herb mix or Herbs of your choice
Remove the stems from the mushrooms then arrange them, top-side down, in a single layer on a metal tray or an aluminum foil cup. Stuff the cups with grated mozzarella then dust with Italian seasoning. Broil in an oven toaster for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and browns a bit.

Marking Column Associations:
- You associate each marking column with one or more terms.
- When you define each session of an academic year, you associate it with a marking column set (such as Quarters or Trimesters).
- On course records, you associate marking columns with the course.
What Prevents You from Deleting Marking Columns Sets and Marking Columns:
- You cannot delete a marking column set if the set is associated with a session.
- You cannot delete a marking column from the marking column set or remove a term association from a marking column if information exists for the marking column in the program, such as grades in the marking column in Grades or information on the Grading tab on course records in Records.

Hello readers! I've been quite delinquent in posting this last month, and have so much to catch you up on.
So, for years advocacy groups have been harping on Hershey to Raise the Bar. Several other large chocolate companies made strides towards sourcing fair trade cocoa or investing in community development initiatives. But mum was the word on Hershey Land. Until now!
My friend Sun sent me the news yesterday but I couldn't get it out in time – Hershey partnered with the Rainforest Alliance on January 30th to certify Hershey's Bliss line of chocolate bars, which will only have cocoa sourced from RA certified farms by the end of this year. In addition, they have made some long-term commitments to help support the communities in West Africa and take on some real corporate responsibility.
This is HUGE. It is the first legit commitment Hershey has made to address responsibility in their cocoa supply chain through use of a third-party certifier. In addition, they have declared a 5 year commitment to invest heavily in the cocoa farmers and families in West Africa that they source most of their cocoa from. They will invest $10 million by 2017 to reduce child labor and improve cocoa supply in West Africa. You read that right. With numerous denials to acknowledge child labor prevalence in the farms they source from in the past, they now seem to be more transparent. I give them credit for this, even if what did it may have been ahem, a little push in the form of a SuperBowl ad threat (which the Intl Labor Rights Forum will desist from now airing) to expose the company's link to child labor. It worked wonders.
What I think is most promising is that in this long-term strategy, cocoa farmers will be given a real chance to sustain themselves. They will receive training to adapt to climate change, and to get more efficient yields, resulting in more revenue. Rainforest Alliance will audit the cocoa farms and use this training to reduce child labor and increase school attendance.
Other existing initiatives the company launched was last year's CocoaLink, a mobile phone project in Ghana meant to send cocoa farmers relevant news about their crops so they can increase farming practices and deal with pests and bad weather. More exciting is that in this second phase, Rainforest Alliance will partner in to provide messages relating to the importance of conservation and climate change. They are doing more work in Ghana through their new Learn to Grow campaign as well.
The bottom line is this – Hershey is huge, and after years of inaction, they are finally listening, to consumers and advocacy groups. Which I'm in support of – any step in the right direction, for a company that has such a huge impact, is significant. Lets see how this commitment rolls out.
And, for all of you who tend towards the Hershey variety (yes, this may be the first time I promote you buy instead of boycott their bars), go out and get your Bliss on. Hershey needs to know there is demand for ethical chocolate. They have a presence in West Africa to really improve lives, and more importantly, they have the means. AND, the quest for them to improve has only just begun so keep demanding more. Imagine if they were to extend this throughout their company….
Hershey's Bliss® chocolates are available to U.S. consumers at more than 35,000 retail outlets. These bars will be 100% RA certified later this year.
