Had enough yet? Whether you are happy or unhappy with what is going on in Washington, Kentucky, or Trimble County, you have an excellent opportunity to let your representatives know about it in person.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 11, and plan to attend the annual Henry-Trimble-Carroll County Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner from 5-9 p.m. at the Conference Center at General Butler State Resort Park, Carrollton.
If you haven't seen the information outlining the possible new locations for the Milton-Madison bridge, you should. We had information in last week's issue about on the topic, and we're planning to go even more in-depth in issues to come..
On the table are a flurry of possiblities that made my head spin the first time I started looking at them.
I can't say which one I prefer at the moment. Each one will cause many changes for the area, and many could mean changing the entire face of this section of Milton.
It's springtime – the universal time known for rebirth and renewal. We are already seeing the "trumpeters of spring" – hillsides graced with blooming dogwoods and Bradford pears; sunny jonquils and hyacinths have made their cheerful appearance, while the winds have blown circular blankets of blooms around tulip trees.
These wonders also introduce our second most hectic seasons of daily living. It's in our busiest
times we risk missing unexpected blessings.
City Commissioner Todd Pollock said he believes an ordinance should be adopted banning exotic pets after recent news stories about the animals. What do you think? Post your comments on this stub.
April is National Volunteer Month, and I want to thank all the volunteers who have donated their time and talents to our agency.
We have had more than 90 volun-teers in the past year at our Trimble County Center who have given so much to assist those in need.
The agency has been fortunate to have assisted so many elderly and low-income people in our community. Our wonderful and committed volunteers make this possible. Thank you for contributing to our mission.
Pamela Craig,
county coordinator
I am writing on behalf of the Carroll County Tobacco Festival Committee. We have had Turkey Shoots for over six years. Some have been successful and some we went in the hole. But, we enjoy doing it and meeting new people.
Everyone really has a good time and it's a lot of fun. We would like to take the time to thank everyone that has attended our turkey shoots and supported the Carroll County Tobacco Festival.
The Carroll County Health and Safety Fair on Saturday, March 28 at the Armory was deemed a success! We estimate up to 400 people took advantage of this opportunity to showcase their products and services; to network as a community; to get information to keep families healthy and safe; and to volunteer.
I commend Mr. Zook in trying to do his job of cleaning up the unsightly junky places in our city. Thank you and keep up the good work for a neat, clean community.
Pat Montgomery
More than 30 students within our school system currently are on the tennis team, but these students do not have a court to practice on.
They must travel by bus to Carroll County to actually practice on a tennis court. Thank goodness for the kind generosity of Carroll County.
While I understand the old court was removed in order to provide better parking for the senior citizens, why wasn't a new court constructed prior to this?
Due to the ongoing personnel changes, the annual Worthville Fire Deparment April Turkey Supper will be moved to May 16, 2009.
We hope all will come and continue to support the Worthville Fire Department, as we depend on your support in order to better serve the community.
Without your support we could no longer function as a viable asset to our and the surrounding communities. We greatly appreciate your support as we go through the "Changing of the Guard" and of gaining new memberships.
The dates for the fair this year are June 22-27. The new carnival, Kissel, will start the rides at 5 p.m.
Family night is Monday, June 22, at $6 for all events and rides. Monday also features the Baby and Cutie Pie contests. Babies from birth to 24 months wear swimsuits and Cutie Pies, children 2-4 years old wear sundresses or shorts outfits.
Tuesday is the Miss Trimble County pageant; Wednesday is Miss Teen Trimble County pageant; Thursday pageants are Princess and Pre-Teen, and Friday is the Little Miss and Mister contest.
Because so many people in Carroll County have been concerned with the lack of positive role models for youth, as the Industry Training and Development Specialist of the Carroll County Area Technology Center I would like to share with you a unique event that fosters relationships between young people and caring adults.
Upon reading his own obituary in a newspaper, American author and humorist Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, wrote a letter to the editor stating simply: "The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated."
As the pastor of St. Peter Lutheran Church, located on State Hwy. 36 between Milton and Carrollton, I was rather surprised to hear that, unbeknownst to me or my parishioners, St. Peter Lutheran Church is going to close.
Two issues were recently raised in the Carrollton City Council, and both are disturbing.
First a councilman and councilwoman both argued for weakening enforcement of laws which mandate that citizens clean up their yards, and don't park unlicensed junk cars on their property. While both council members are fine people, they are just wrong on this issue.
After having read several recent letters to the editor concerning cleaning up the City of Carrollton, I am prompted to express my feelings as a council member.
On Feb. 19, I had the privilege of attending a meeting presided by Ruth Baxter. The meeting was about stimulating the economy.
The discussion centered around creating jobs for local residents and the emphasis was put on the urgency of buying locally. Everyone in the community needs to stop and think about what might happen to Carrollton if the local businesses were not here anymore. Most everything you buy from a business outside of Carrollton can be purchased here locally for about the same price.
Many people are asking, what does "The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009" mean to me, as it pertains to the "First-time Home Buyer Credit"?
Well, that is the $8,000 question. Here it is, in a nutshell. Last year, Congress provided taxpayers with a refundable tax credit equal to $7,500 or 10 percent of the purchase price, (whichever is the lesser of the two), on a home purchased by a first-time homebuyer on or after April 9, 2008, and before July 1, 2009.
I am writing in regard to Coach Corbin and the fourth-grade boys basketball team.
On Feb. 21-22, they played in a tournament in Madison Ind., games at 9 a.m. and approximately 3 p.m., and the fourth-grade tournament in New Castle, Ky., at 11 a.m. and approximately 1 p.m. They played again at 2 on Sunday in Madison.
Congratulations to the community for helping the group Carroll County Animal Support. I attended the chili supper fund-raiser Saturday night to participate by donating some bake goods and volunteering to help.
What a wonderful surprise to see so many bake-sale items and workers, plus the large and beautiful display of silent auction baskets and raffle items.
I'd like to take this opportunity to express my thoughts on the plans to clean up the city and enforce city ordinances.
First, the code inspector is going over board, he is now writing people citations for toys in the yard. Come on that just shows that the city wasn't that bad to begin with. He's obviously ran out of real violations to write people up for.
Second, I think we should all thank the mayor. I have talked to many town officials and everyone points the finger at the mayor.

MPAA: Real Patriots Don't Share
from the nationalism-as-a-business-model? dept
There has been a war of language and thought going on in the copyright debate for years. People think in language just as they speak in language, which is why content industry groups have gone to such lengths to pervert nuanced legal language into stacatto and misleading buzzwords crafted purely for public consumption. This language war is the reason why when I Google the word "piracy", the first page gives me the Wikipedia article for the war act of piracy and then in the news items I get a story about lawmakers wondering if search engines contribute to piracy.
Well, the MPAA, never shy to jump on the hyperbole train, is doing its best to make the debate about patriotism, rather than the actual issues, by cloaking itself in the American flag. Michael O'Leary, Vice President of the MPAA, spoke at a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee's Intellectual Property, Competition, and Internet Sub-Comittee (say that three times fast). Look at the whole quote first:
"The key foundation of American industry, the expectation that hard work and innovation is rewarded, is imperiled when thieves, whether online or on the street, are allowed to steal America's creative products and enrich themselves along the way. Rampant theft of American intellectual property puts the livelihoods of the workers who invest time, energy and fortune to create the filmed entertainment enjoyed by millions at risk; to these men and women and their families, digital theft means declining incomes, lost jobs and reduced health and retirement benefits. We believe that rogue sites legislation, combined with the Administration's work with intermediaries and enforcement by the IPR Center, will go a long way towards shutting down the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works and close a gap in the intellectual property law."
Three sentences with so much intellectual dishonesty, subtle word games, and nationalism wrapped up in a tidy knot that it's sickening. First, to get it out of the way, note the word games being played through the legally incorrect use of the words "thieves", "steal", and "digital theft". This is the game they play with words and thought.
But more prominent is the plea for American nationalism in his words. Like so much bad policy before it, COICA legislation (which has been dutifully renamed "rogue sites legislation" by O'Leary, as the word games continue) is being wrapped by supporters in the flag. We've seen this movie before and we know how it works. The Patriot Act was wrapped in the American flag (more word games) because if the time spent saying, "This here bill is good for 'Merica" was spent actually explaining to people what it was, the public outcry would be heard loud and clear. It's the same with COICA, as the MPAA subtlely informs us that taking down "rogue" sites without true due process is somehow as American as Superman and apple pie (pay no attention to the innocents caught in the crossfire).
But as long as O'Leary wants us to pledge allegiance to flag of the Motion Picture Association of America, I have a couple of questions. Is applauding government censorship American? Is it American to push around our fellow nations of the world to adopt laws simply because our industry wants them to? Does the land of the free and the home of the brave really mean tucking your tail between your legs and running to daddy government because you don't know how to maximize your profit margins in the digital world?
I'll tell you what, O'Leary: I'll start taking lessons in patriotism from the MPAA about the same time I accept an invitation to the Ku Klux Klan's symposium on racial tolerance...

I am faced with this task:
"Let M be the set of all valuations. Let for each propositional formula $A: [A] = v \in M : v(A) = 1$. Show that:
$[A \land B] = [A] \cap [B]$
So, I get the idea what I'm supposed to prove, but the definitions escape me. I would like to know if
1) Does "Let M be the set of all valuations" mean that $M = \{0,1\}$ ?
2) What do the square brackets mean in logic? I suppose they are not matrices nor intervals.
2) How exactly am I supposed to read the $A: [A] = v \in M : v(A) = 1$ in English?
I understand that I'm supposed to show that when A is true and represented as a set $\{1\}$ it's intersection with B gives similar truth table to the boolean AND operator ( $\{1\}\cap \{1\} = \{1\}$ and $\{1\} \cap \{0\} = \emptyset$. I'm not just yet getting there formally.
Any help in understanding the mathematical language is appreciated!

ASBMB members in the news this month include Ann Aguanno, Jeremy M. Berg, Susan R. Wessler, James Brown, D. Wayne Bolen, Johannes Buchner, Michael Summers, Brenda Schulman, Gerhard Wagner, Severo Ochoa and Melvin Calvin.
Ann Aguanno, an associate professor of biology at Marymount Manhattan College, is a 2011 recipient of a Council on Undergraduate Research Biology Mentorship Award. The awards recognize biologists who demonstrate superior mentorship of undergraduate students in research.
Aguanno is director of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Undergraduate Affiliate Network northeast region. She has an active research program that is investigating the role of a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase family in the development of mammalian tissue systems. She also has an active undergraduate program, guiding the research of students majoring in biology. The program has enjoyed much success as of late, receiving multiple grants and honors.
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology President-elect Jeremy M. Berg is the recipient of a 2011 Public Service Award from the American Chemical Society. The annual award recognizes outstanding contributions to public service or to the development of public policy that benefits the chemical sciences.
Berg is associate vice chancellor for health policy and planning at the University of Pittsburgh and is a professor in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's department of computational and systems biology. Research in his lab is centered on molecular recognition by proteins in biological systems with the goal of understanding these processes on the structural, thermodynamic and kinetic levels. Through this analysis, he hopes to attain a more complete understanding of the mechanism of these systems.
Susan R. Wessler, who holds a University of California president's chair and is a distinguished professor of genetics in the department of botany and plant sciences at the University of California, Riverside, has been named the recipient of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology 2012 Excellence in Science Award.
The award recognizes women whose outstanding career achievements in biological science have contributed significantly to furthering our understanding of a particular discipline. Wessler is recognized internationally for her work in plant genome structure and stability.
Wessler's research looks at transposable elements in plants with a focus on the characterization of active transposable elements and determination of how they contribute to genome evolution and adaptation. To address these questions, Wessler uses a combination of genetic, biochemical and genomic approaches.
James Robert Brown was born in Port Angeles, Wash., on August 17, 1930, and died in Austin, Texas on May 7, 2011, at the age of 80.
Brown entered the University of Washington in 1949, but his studies were interrupted by service in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He completed his bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1956 and obtained a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Washington Medical School in 1963, working with Hans Neurath on the fundamental protein characterization of pro-carboxypeptidase.
Brown was awarded a NATO postdoctoral fellowship to work at the Medical Research Council Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England (1963 – 1965), where he participated in sequencing chymotrypsin and elastase with Brian Hartley and Frederick Sanger. Together with Hartley, Brown developed the method of diagonal electrophoresis to locate disulfide bridges in proteins. He obtained a second NATO fellowship (1965 – 1966) to work in the biophysics department at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovoth, Israel, before joining the University of Texas at Austin, where he worked as a faculty member and then as a research scientist with the Clayton Foundation Biochemical Institute until his retirement in 1992. While in Austin, Brown determined the primary structure of both human and bovine serum albumin.
A modest and reserved individual with an ironic sense of humor, Brown loved his family, science, music and the natural world and supported a number of humanitarian and progressive causes throughout his life.
Six American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology members recently received awards from the Protein Society.
D. Wayne Bolen, of the University of Texas Medical Branch, was honored with the Christian B. Anfinsen Award for resolving the long-standing question of how urea denatures proteins and how compatible osmolytes force folding.
Johannes Buchner, a professor in the department of chemistry at Technische Universität München, was given the Hans Neurath Award for his numerous contributions to protein science, specifically in the context of protein folding and molecular chaperones.
Michael Summers, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, was given the Carl Brändén Award. Summers received the award for his contributions to advancing understanding of retrovirus structure, assembly and function, primarily using NMR spectroscopy.
Brenda Schulman, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and co-director of the molecular oncology program at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Wei Yang, of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, were jointly awarded the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award. Schulman was honored for her contributions to the understanding of the ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like systems. Yang was recognized for studies that led her to propose a model of two-metal ion catalysis for a large class of nucleic acid enzymes.
Gerhard Wagner, the Elkan Rogers Blout professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology at Harvard Medical School, received the Stein and Moore Award for his contributions to protein science and for shaping the field of protein NMR.
The U.S. Postal Service recently issued Forever stamps honoring four American scientists. Former American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology President Severo Ochoa and ASBMB member Melvin Calvin were among the featured scientists. The two other stamps recognized botanist Asa Gray and physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer.
According to a press release from the USPS, "With these stamps, the third in the American Scientists series, the Postal Service honors four Americans who, while dedicating their lives to understanding the fundamental process of nature, made extraordinary contributions to the advancement of science."
Calvin was the first scientist to trace in detail the process of photosynthesis, and he conducted pioneering research on using plants as an alternative energy source. He won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1961.
Ochoa was the first scientist to synthesize ribonucleic acid, and he competed in the race to decipher the genetic code. Ochoa won the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine in 1959 and was the president of ASBMB in 1958.

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day in Vancouver, British Columbia, perfect weather for the 'A Night for All Souls' event at Mountain View Cemetery. I thought I'd post a few photographs to show something about it.
Mountain View Cemetery opened in 1887. It's not the oldest cemetery in this area, but it is certainly the largest. Today it's 105 acres with about 100,000 burials. In recent years, there have been many changes - the most obvious now the construction of new offices and columbaria, the Commonwealth War Grave Commission's upgrading of its areas and the City and the Last Post Fund's construction of 13 monuments to commemorate the almost 1,000 'known' unmarked veteran's graves at Mountain View. Perhaps more about these projects another time.
Perhaps the most successful addition is the new 'infants burial' stream bed - every rock symbolizing a burial. (These were all in common graves.) One of the 'All Souls' shrines was right beside this area.

Talk:You can't prove God doesn't exist
Category of the argument[edit]
Upon reading the line "If we were to apply that premise to all claims, we'd be unable to develop any useful picture of reality," I found myself looking for examples. Most likely many could be made, but it may help to illustrate the point. --BunniRabbi 20:45, 10 January 2011 (CST)
I've added this article to the "Argument for the existence of God" category. I feel there is a deeper level category that it also belongs in, but I can't figure out which one it might be. Is there one that is sort of like "Semantic arguments"? "Burden of proof shifting"? --Kazim 04:09, 31 August 2006 (MST)
- Like Pascal's Wager, this doesn't seem to be an argument for God's existence as much as it's an argument for belief. I think the distinction is notable, but not enough to remove them from the 'for existence' category. The subcat you're suggesting is one I've tried to think of several times, I just haven't come up with a brief, descriptive label that I like. "Arguments for belief" is my current preference, so I added that subcat and included this article and the Pascal's wager article. -- Sans Deity 06:57, 31 August 2006 (MST)
- Good solution. -- Kazim 07:19, 31 August 2006 (MST)
Better than Vishnu?[edit]
Do you think the Hindu/Vishnu thing is a good example? It was the best I could come up with off the top of my head... - dcljr 23:13, 1 September 2006 (MST)
God is not the same as a teapot, leprechaun or a unicorn; because these three things take up space, consist out of matter and exist in time, so we might not be sure that there is a teapot in orbit around Mars, but it would be possible to travel to Mars and discover if there is a teapot. In other words. The teapot is described as existing in the same basic reality we exist in.
The Christian believe is that God is not part of this universe, but is separate from it and makes his presence known by creating a natural order (time, space and matter) for man to exist in, thus the existence of God is taken to be a priori and can not be verified a posteriori.
This is similar to the principles of contradiction which can not be explained a posteriori but only a priori.
This makes the idea of God a metaphysical notion which can only be disproven by another set of metaphysical doctrines that isolates and captures the notion of God, very similar to the way that the Christian God captures the Hindu God Vishnu; because Vishnu has a form, he takes part in the natural order of the universe, if he manifests directly to the human consciousness then he would exist in time, space and through matter; while the notion of God precedes the natural order and the notion of God does not directly manifest in the human consciousness but only through dialectics or intuition, he is a cause before a cause. -- Thomas
Moved the following section from the main page: [Rival]
- "Counter-counter-argument.
- "God is not the same as a teapot, leprechaun or a unicorn; because these three things take up space, consist out of matter and exist in time, so we might not be sure that there is a teapot in orbit around Mars, but it would be possible to travel to Mars and discover if there is a teapot. In other words. The teapot is described as existing in the same basic reality we exist in."
- Neither leprechauns nor unicorns exist in space/time - only in the imagination. We have exactly the same amount of evidence supporting the existence of leprechauns, and unicorns as we do for god. The stated flaw does exist in the teapot analogy, however. [Rival]
- But you exist in time, you exist as a material substance and you have a form and therefor gnomes, leprechauns and unicorns when expressed in there familiar forms, and when said to be dependant of human consiousness and limited to a preconceived notion fall directly under the natural reality. In fact they only stand in direct relation to other imaginairy forms and not to a-priori metaphysical constructs; like the existence of consciousness itself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thomas (talk • contribs).
- Let me rephrase what you just said: "Leprechauns, et al, are imaginary" the implication being that god is not imaginary. Yawn. Rival 22:47, 30 November 2008 (CST)
- I know a better one. If even for the sake of theory, God can not be thought of as real then other constructs like consiousness, reality and knowledge can also be thought of as not real and therefor no real debate is possible with someone who holds that position or the other three positions on there own matter. The only proper debat would be to include every possibility and negate it with a select choice of a-priori constructs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thomas (talk • contribs).
- But since God is build out of timeless constructs like no-time, no-space and no-matter he automatically carries some validity and since order does not exist on it's own but is dependent on time, space and matter; there could be in fact order dependent on no-space, no-time and no-matter which makes the possibility of God very strong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thomas (talk • contribs).
- It's not clear how God not possessing those dimensions would garner the concept validity. Not requiring the traits described would allow an existence to something which would not be in conflict with reality as we know it, but the lack of conflict with other positions doesn't constitute support for a position. --BunniRabbi 21:00, 10 January 2011 (CST)
New counter-counter-argument.[edit]
God is dependant on an orderly non-existence. In fact; it is non-existence which is orderly and we are just a reflection of this non-temporal, non-material and non-spacial order. --Thomas
- Do you have evidence to support any of this, or is this just another of your assumptions? I'm getting a "div/0" vibe from this line of thinking... Rival 00:50, 1 December 2008 (CST)
- I have direct evidence. Imagine how the universe would look like without a line of time running through reality. It would look like all of time at once and instantaneous, but you would still be limited to the distance between objects not in direct contact with the timeless entities. Then we take away space so that all of matter is in direct contact with all other matter, and that is how matter can influence through non-time and non-matter, matter not in contact with other matter and outside the present. Then we take away matter which is just points of finite quantities atop of a infinity (not God but close), but we still hold the internal correspondance between matter but without quantity and thus we get pure order that can only be explained by math. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thomas (talk • contribs).
- Sounds like bunk to me. Non-temporal + non-material + non-spacial = non-existent = what are we even discussing? - dcljr 14:01, 1 December 2008 (CST)
- What I can read from your argument is: "The direct evidence that God exists, is that some laws of nature can only be explained by math." I have to admit I fail to see the connection. Are you trying to make a God of the gaps argument? - Soulkeeper 07:30, 25 January 2009 (CST)
Guilty until proven innocent[edit]
Perhaps a nice analogy (in layments terms) is that "believe until proven false" correlates with the principle of "guilty until proven innocent", as such, expecting something to be considered true until proven (to a reasonable degree of certainty, ofcourse) false basically equates to considering an accused in court as being guilty until the defence can prove otherwise.
I would (hopefully) presume that most rational thinkers would consider any given proposition to be "innocent until proven guilty" (translation: unproven until proven) until sufficient evidence and/or logical argument could be put forward to the contrary - afterall, is this not the scientific method in a nutshell?
Woops, forgot to sign (Tking 18:17, 5 November 2010 (CDT))

About RWR
About Rick Ware Racing
Rick Ware Racing, "The Biggest Little Team in Motorsports," led by owner Rick Ware has been a staple in Thomasville since 1994 when he founded the organization. "Things were a lot different back then. Racing was a passion, and business was something that accompanied it. We would make a few phone calls, get enough money to race and away we went, competing against Dale Earnhardt and legends of that time." From 2000 through 2003, Ware was the owner of at least one team and as many as three truck teams in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. He progressed onto the Cup and Nationwide Series scene through 2005, but his true passion for Motocross was pecking away at him. "I have always loved motocross and when the opportunity arose to start a team, I took it", Ware stated. Stepping into Motocross and running in NASCAR at the same time? Little did Ware know that he was embarking on something huge for 2006! In the winter of 2005, Ware took on a new sponsor, ProRacing30.com, and moved them to new heights by placing them in his motorsports programs of the AMA Motocross and the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. After six short months, the real estate industry took a plunge and the sponsor was gone, leaving Ware devastated. Still determined to make his marketing plan work in 2007, Ware saw all-time highs in two-wheel action, winning the AMA Arenacross Championship, the WMA Motocross Championship, as well as being the highest performing privateer team in the AMA Supercross and Motocross with a new sponsor, BadBoy Power Drinks. "That year everything seemed to click. BadBoy Power Drinks was getting great exposure and we were performing like Champions both on the track as well as marketing to the masses." The small regional energy drink organization resembled a much larger national company that now has become the norm for energy drink category today. But when 2007 came to a close it became apparent that the marketing hype was actually too successful. "It became a matter of meeting the demand that ultimately hurt both Badboy and our organization. The company could not keep up with the consumers demand and we became a second thought." Sadly the two organizations had to step back to regroup. Ware remained true to motocross by winning the AMA Arenacross and the WMA Motocross Championship in 2007 but with no funds for NASCAR, it did not stop him from his concept that diversity in motorsports marketing can, and will work. Rick Ware Racing became the pioneer of cross marketing in motorsports. Red Bull Energy Drink followed Ware's path and moved from motocross to NASCAR as a sponsor. Joe Gibbs Racing has positioned itself firmly in motocross with Coy Gibbs running the MX side of JGR. There is one common factor that separate Team Red Bull, Joe Gibbs Racing and Rick Ware Racing and that thing is star power. Collecting his thoughts at his desk, the innovator calls out to his NASCAR connections. For 2009, Ware hired Stanton Barrett, the Hollywood stuntman and IRL driver and Paul Andrews, the former Championship Crew Chief for Alan Kulwicki. He then struck a deal with Tim Brown, the local Whelen Modified Champion, for his grassroots program. Ware then put together a developmental plan with Dale Earnhardt Inc. drivers Kerry Earnhardt and Jeffrey Earnhardt to pilot his cars. Ware took no exception in the AMA program either. As he put two-time Champion, Josh Demuth and Jeff Gibson together in the Arenacross Series, winning his third straight title with Gibson. "The Biggest Little Team in Motorsports" set its schedule of 110 races in 29 states and two countries in early November and as timing would have it once again, the economy took a downward spiral for Rick Ware. Not to let his dream die, the Ware organization dominated the AMA Arenacross winning its third straight title for RWR. Tim Brown, in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Division, grabbed five wins at Bowman-Gray Stadium in route to his 8th title at the track. All things seem to click right for RWR in 2009. What I am proud of is how this little team of ten full time people, has come together as a unit. There are teams of hundreds doing less with more than us. The wins we are getting are nice, but what is important is what we do for our sponsors and partners."

CRAWFORD, Tex., Aug. 7 - President Bush draws antiwar protesters just about wherever he goes, but few generate the kind of attention that Cindy Sheehan has since she drove down the winding road toward his ranch here this weekend and sought to tell him face to face that he must pull all Americans troops out of Iraq now.
Ms. Sheehan's son, Casey, was killed last year in Iraq, after which she became an antiwar activist. She says she and her family met with the president two months later at Fort Lewis in Washington State.
But when she was blocked by the police a few miles from Mr. Bush's 1,600-acre spread on Saturday, the 48-year-old Ms. Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., was transformed into a news media phenomenon, the new face of opposition to the Iraq conflict at a moment when public opinion is in flux and the politics of the war have grown more complicated for the president and the Republican Party.
Ms. Sheehan has vowed to camp out on the spot until Mr. Bush agrees to meet with her, even if it means spending all of August under a broiling sun by the dusty road. Early on Sunday afternoon, 25 hours after she was turned back as she approached Mr. Bush's ranch, Prairie Chapel, Ms. Sheehan stood red-faced from the heat at the makeshift campsite that she says will be her home until the president relents or leaves to go back to Washington. A reporter from The Associated Press had just finished interviewing her. CBS was taping a segment on her. She had already appeared on CNN, and was scheduled to appear live on ABC on Monday morning. Reporters from across the country were calling her cellphone.
"It's just snowballed," Ms. Sheehan said beside a small stand of trees and a patch of shade that contained a sleeping bag, some candles, a jar of nuts and a few other supplies. "We have opened up a debate in the country."
Seeking to head off exactly the situation that now seems to be unfolding, the administration sent two senior officials out from the ranch on Saturday afternoon to meet with her. But Ms. Sheehan said after talking to the officials -- Stephen J. Hadley, the national security adviser, and Joe Hagin, a deputy White House chief of staff -- that she would not back down in her demand to see the president.
Her success in drawing so much attention to her message -- and leaving the White House in a face-off with an opponent who had to be treated very gently even as she aggressively attacked the president and his policies -- seemed to stem from the confluence of several forces.
The deaths last week of 20 Marines from a single battalion has focused public attention on the unremitting pace of casualties in Iraq, providing her an opening to deliver her message that no more lives should be given to the war. At the same time, polls that show falling approval for Mr. Bush's handling of the war have left him open to challenge in a way that he was not when the nation appeared to be more strongly behind him.
It did not hurt her cause that she staged her protest, which she said was more or less spontaneous, at the doorstep of the White House press corps, which spends each August in Crawford with little to do, minimal access to Mr. Bush and his aides, and an eagerness for any new story.
As the mother of an Army specialist who was killed at age 24 in the Sadr City section of Baghdad on April 4, 2004, Ms. Sheehan's story is certainly compelling. She is also articulate, aggressive in delivering her message and has information that most White House reporters have not heard before: how Mr. Bush handles himself when he meets behind closed doors with the families of soldiers killed in Iraq.
The White House has released few details of such sessions, which Mr. Bush holds regularly as he travels the country, but generally portrays them as emotional and an opportunity for the president to share the grief of the families. In Ms. Sheehan's telling, though, Mr. Bush did not know her son's name when she and her family met with him in June 2004 at Fort Lewis. Mr. Bush, she said, acted as if he were at a party and behaved disrespectfully toward her by referring to her as "Mom" throughout the meeting.
By Ms. Sheehan's account, Mr. Bush said to her that he could not imagine losing a loved one like an aunt or uncle or cousin. Ms. Sheehan said she broke in and told Mr. Bush that Casey was her son, and that she thought he could imagine what it would be like since he has two daughters and that he should think about what it would be like sending them off to war.
"I said, 'Trust me, you don't want to go there'," Ms. Sheehan said, recounting her exchange with the president. "He said, 'You're right, I don't.' I said, 'Well, thanks for putting me there."'
Asked about Ms. Sheehan's statements, Trent D. Duffy, a spokesman for the White House, said Sunday: "The president knows one of his most important responsibilities is to comfort the families of the fallen. That is why he has personally met with and grieved with hundreds of families who have lost a loved one who made the ultimate sacrifice. We can only imagine how painful and difficult it must be for a mother to lose her son. Our hearts and prayers are always with the moms and dads and spouses and children of those who have fallen."
It is not clear how the White House will handle Ms. Sheehan. Mr. Bush usually comes and goes from the ranch by helicopter, but he might have to drive by her on Friday, when he is scheduled to attend a Republican fund-raiser at a ranch just down the road from where Ms. Sheehan is camped out. She will no doubt get another wave of publicity on Thursday, when Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice join Mr. Bush at the ranch to discuss the war.

We need to automatize process of creating datastore and publishing geotiff layer. Also, before publishing we need to change Declared SRS and to save Native Bounding Box to our database.
Geotiff file will be uploaded to the file system by our customer.
Yes, I`ve seen Create a Layer in GeoServer using REST, also I see that there is publishGeoTIFF(...) methods in Geoserver-manager in GeoServerRESTPublisher.java.
Another solution that I see - is to make all the operations with bot written with selenium or htmlUnit.
Could you please suggest us, what approach is more elegant and suitable for us. Is there any actions in our workflow that we will not be able to do with Geoserver-manager.
P.S.: we also have seen at gsrcj project, but it can`t create programmatically geotiff layer.
Thank you in advance, Dmitry.

LOS ANGELES — In a span of less than three minutes, two Los Angeles Kings goals ended the dream that this might be the Sharks' year after all.
San Jose lost 2-1 in the deciding Game 7 of its Stanley Cup playoff series Tuesday night with Kings right wing Justin Williams doing all the damage on two second-period shots.
"It's heartbreaking," said Logan Couture, who tweeted an apology for not getting "the job done" to Sharks fans shortly after leaving the ice. "We battled hard to get where we were. We made some changes and played a good first round, then forced, I think, the best team in the league to seven games and almost beat them in their building. It's tough to take."
The Sharks cut the gap in half when Dan Boyle scored at 5:26 of the third period.
But in the end, it was Kings netminder Jonathan Quick and missed opportunities — the two biggest by Couture early in the second period and Joe Pavelski late in the third — that ended an improbable run by a team that reinvented itself in late March.
The teams were so evenly matched that Kings coach Darryl Sutter's response when asked how good the Sharks were, responded: "As good as us."
And Sharks coach Todd McLellan, too, said there was little distinction between the teams over the seven games in which the Sharks were outscored 14-10, or 2 to 1.4 per game.
"In the end, we probably made one more mistake than they did," McLellan said. "And, we couldn't find a way to get another puck by Quick."
San Jose entered its series against the defending Stanley Cup champions on a roll, having swept the Vancouver Canucks in the first round. But as it turned out, each team won every game on home ice, and the Kings had one more of those.
The Sharks knew they had to improve on their performance the last time they were inside Staples Center, when the Kings skated away with a 3-0 victory in Game 5.
And by that standard, San Jose had to be satisfied with a scoreless first period.
The second period, however, was all frustration for the Sharks.
A little more than a minute in, Quick got a glove on a backhand shot from just outside the crease by Couture after a nice setup from Pavelski.
"I have to score there. I'm counted on to score goals," Couture said. "If I get a chance like that I have to score."
Things got worse in a hurry. With Brent Burns in the penalty box for interference, Kings defenseman Slava Voynov broke his stick on a shot that caromed off the backboards to Williams, who punched it in before goalie Antti Niemi could seal off the post at 4:11.
"When you break a stick, the timing of that shot fools everybody, including the goaltender," McLellan said. "That was a tough one."
The Sharks almost got that back when Couture deflected a shot by defenseman Matt Irwin, but the puck trickled wide. Seconds later, Williams fired a 24-foot wrist shot that beat Niemi at 7:08 — and gave Williams his fifth goal in four Game 7s over a 12-year NHL career.
"We overextended a shift, and they took advantage of it," McLellan said.
Still, San Jose skated hard in the third period, challenging Quick with 14 of the 26 shots the Sharks put on net all game. And the Sharks got on the board on a 58-foot slap shot by Boyle.
San Jose came close to tying the score with 5:04 left, but Pavelski had trouble settling a rebound and couldn't lift the puck over the glove of Quick, who was sprawled on the ice.
"I thought I had to jam it in right away when I had to regroup it. I thought I was getting more pressure than what I was," Pavelski said. "It's one you've got to have right at the very end."
That only compounded the letdown he and his teammates felt.
"We never felt overwhelmed against this team," Pavelski said. "It's just disappointing."

SAN MARTIN, Calif., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Jeff Overton, who has been on the PGA Tour for eight years without a victory, took the lead Thursday after the opening round of the Frys.com Open.
In the drastically revamped tour schedule, this event is the first of the 2014 season and for the first time in its history will reward the winner an invitation to the Masters.
Overton shot a bogey-free, 7-under 64 at the CordeValle Golf Club, a round highlighted by an eagle at the par-5 ninth.
Brian Harman was alone in second at 65 while Kyle Stanley was by himself in third at 66. Those at 67 included Jason Kokrak, Michael Putnam and J.J. Henry.
The field is dotted with tour rookies, but also includes veterans such as 50-year-old Vijay Singh (69), Davis Love III (69), Trevor Immelman (70) and Stewart Cink (72).
Hideki Matsuyama, the highest-ranked player in the world in the field at No. 30, shot a 70.
There will be six tournaments held during 2013 that will actually be a part of the 2014 schedule, including trips to Malaysia and China. There will then be a six-week break before the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, which has traditionally been the season opener on the tour.

Seattle Seahawks
Rule emphasis could limit Seahawks
Tweets dispatched by former NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira last week felt as though they had a Seattle Seahawks vibe to them.
Pereira used Twitter to send out highlights from the NFL's officiating conference. His first notable takeaway: Illegal contact and defensive holding will be two large points of emphasis this season.
Some take the grassy knoll approach to this news, feeling it's clear the league just watched the Seahawks manhandle receivers on the way to a blowout win in Super Bowl XLVIII. It's a conspiracy to slow Seattle.
For Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, it's a compliment.
"That's a beautiful thing," Carroll said. "That's respect, to me. If that's the conversation, then it's a sign of respect and people trying to figure it out. I think we've contributed to that.
"The rules that have been emphasized going into this year, there is some attention to the fact of aggressive play at the line of scrimmage. There was some talk of that at league meetings. The adjustments that they've made are palatable. We can handle it."
In March, 13 rule change proposals were presented to the competition committee.
The 12th was "Modify pass interference so that it can be called within one yard of the line of scrimmage." That rule was not approved, but it appears to have set up the illegal contact and defensive holding points of emphasis. The league has said it will counter the extra emphasis on those two defensive issues by calling more offensive pass interference.
That has been true in the first three days of Seahawks training camp. There have been at least a trio of flags for offensive pass interference since camp started.
Regardless, Seattle plans to alter its tactics without reducing its aggressiveness.
Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn likened the adjustment to teaching defensive players not to lead with the helmet two years ago. The Seahawks worked on lifting their heads and contacting offensive players shoulder first. The idea was to continue thumping without getting a flag.
"When we have the points of emphasis, we can either gripe about it or work to it," Quinn said. "So, I think it was two years ago and it was the defenseless receivers. 'Are they not going to be physical anymore?' Totally not. We can still tackle and be really physical without using our head.
"This is along that way. Let's not overreact. Let's understand what's being called; let's adjust and play."
Though the Seahawks have a reputation for a hands-on approach to receivers, Quinn said the pursuit is never to simply be a tough guy. It's to be the most precise.
"We really, on the outside, try to be very technical," Quinn said. "You see these guys playing strong, and that's at the line of scrimmage. It's not necessarily changing our style. We're ready to play with really good technique, and that's kind of the emphasis of this whole competing, 'How good can you get?' It's all technique."
Players such as free safety Earl Thomas, cornerback Richard Sherman and linebacker K.J. Wright — the latter of whom must be cognizant of the emphasis because he's often assigned to mobile tight ends in pass coverage — said they are not concerned that officials will be even more on the lookout for illegal contact and holding.
"We are who we are," Thomas said. "People understand that we're very aggressive. The corners like to do their thing, and Kam (Chancellor, strong safety) and me, we do the same thing. So we can't worry about that. We've got to stay true to who we are. At the end of the day, defense is dictating the pace of what's going on. We proved that."

Monthly Count
What is our monthly count?
We're currently counting TIFF and WAVE files in the archive, deposits, and on the share drive, and MP3 and large JPEGs in Acumen.
In October 2012, we modified how we collect the count, to capture a snapshot across multiple locations and note duplicates which are in the process of being repaired. The benefits of this new method is that we're not trying to collect a 3-D representation of our work in a single fell swoop in a single spreadsheet; and also, that we can automate it and save a ton of time and confusion. We're also working off the actual existence of files, not off the reported digitization counts. This avoids a ton of errors caused by inattention, poor counting, and forgetfulness.
In addition, we also developed a method of tracking digitization that never sees the light of day. This can include:
- digitization for donors, such as providing digital versions of content donated to Special Collections
- digitization for publication, at the dean's request, often for cost recovery
- weeded collections (such as those containing duplicates), and collections deleted due to rights issues
- digitization of typed transcripts in order to obtain OCR to enable searchability of hand-written documents (we delete the transcript tiffs)
- recapture of badly digitized content
- correction of errors, such as duplicate captures of a single page
For this process, see Documenting Invisible Digitization.
Part I: What's where right now?
Starting in October 2012, we are capturing monthly snapshots (an example can be viewed here of image and audio content, with an intellectual item count pulled from the filenames, across web directories (Acumen), the deposits directories (awaiting archiving), the digital archive, and the working share drive, with duplicate items/files there noted in the "Under Repair" columns for clarification.
More on this process can be found in Server-side Count Scripts.
Part II: How does this differ from last month? And how many GB do we have?
Since this does not clarify progress since the previous month, we will also be generating a second synopsis specifying GB counts, total digitization thus far, and what was accomplished this past month.
For example, for October, 2012, the synopsis was as follows:
- Digitized 125 new items (8719 captures)
- Total items digitized: 89972
- Total captures: 323204
- Total items in Acumen: 78704
- Total captures in Acumen: 294350
- Total GB in archive: 13852
- Total GB on share: 474
- Total GB: 14326
The script that generates this information picks up the information encoded in the tab-delimited text files that track Documenting Invisible Digitization and incorporate these into the Total items and Total captures sums, to reflect the work we've done that can't be seen. It also captures GB counts across the archive/deposits directory and the following share drive directories in the Digital Projects area:
- Digital_Coll_Complete
- Digital_Coll_in_progress
- Digital_Coll_ON_HOLD
- Digital_Coll_Proposed
If a REVIEW folder exists in Digital_Coll_in_progress, the size of that folder is subtracted, as those files are assumed to be copies of TIFF files already in the archive.
Part III: Synopsis over time...
A third script will collect monthly synopsis files, and generate a snapshot for the fiscal year thus far, with columns for each month and totals at the end and at the bottom.
Again, more on this process can be found in Server-side Count Scripts.
16:04, 2 November 2012 (CDT) Jlderidder
The following information is deprecated as of 10/2012 (15:39, 2 November 2012 (CDT)Jlderidder)
To collect the count on the storage drive:
- Log onto libcontent via SSH and change into the
scriptsdirectory. (see Command-line_Work_on_Linux_Server)
- Run GBcount: type in `GBcount` and hit enter. It will output on the command line the total count in gigabytes for the archival storage directories on the server. It will also output a detailed report in the scripts/output directory.
- Run acumenCount: type in `acumenCount` and hit enter. It will output on the command line the total number of collections represented in Acumen, including the number which do not have EADs; the detailed report will be output in the scripts/output directory.
- Download the report created by acumenCount, and open it in Excel, with tabs as delimiters. This report lists collection identifiers, titles, item count, file count, and whether the collection has an EAD. At the end is the total counts for both items and files.
To collect the count on the Share drive, and combine the two for the monthly report:
For the size of content on Share, use the monthly GB counter described here Monthly_gb_counter.
Please refer to this document for information on how we compile our monthly count File:Collecting numbers for use in the monthly count.docx

Adapting Your Business Writing for Global English
Most readers who speak English as a second (or third or fourth) language do so in the same basic way. Here are some guidelines to use when creating your message to ensure it is understood by your international audience:
Use short, simple, basic sentences. Avoid multi-clause structures.
Keep paragraphs short so there is plenty of breathing space between them. Dense pages look difficult to read.
Avoid contractions. For example, write do not rather than don't.
Keep to short basic words, but bear in mind that many short words in English have multiple meanings and may be used as nouns as well as verbs. Run, for example, can be either. Look has a number of meanings.
Omit idioms, slang and colloquialisms that overseas readers are unlikely to understand. These words and phrases are rampant in written and spoken English, so develop an awareness of those you tend to use and find substitute wording.
Avoid most metaphors, especially those based on sports that other countries don't understand and don't find interesting – for example, baseball and cricket.
Avoid passive tense and indirect phrasing as much as possible. 'Our legal office prepared the contract' is better than 'The contract has been prepared by our legal office.'
Minimize 'stately' words such as those that end in 'ion' and 'ment', which produce awkward wordy constructions. For example, 'The accomplishment of the building's construction is planned for June' is better said as, 'We plan to finish the building in June.'
Don't abbreviate words, including abbreviations borrowed from texting. Readers may not understand or like them.
Don't use buzzwords and intra-company or industry insider acronyms and language.

Studio Peek...
I want to answer a few questions I have been asked lately about my inky fabric.
Q: How do you store your fabric?
A: I hang the fabric which allows the pieces to dry. I have these metal shelves in my studio and I just wrap the fabric around the posts.
Q: Do you wash the fabric?
A: No, I do not wash the fabric. That would totally change it and remove a lot of the color.
Q: Do you iron the fabric?
A: Yes, I iron the fabric if I need the wrinkles removed.
Have a blessed day!

Blurring the Divide Between Traditional Hospitality and the Online World
Featuring a special guest post by Antonio DiMilia, Industry Director, Cisco Hospitality and Travel
Summary: Mobile devices have become staple items for many travelers. During their stay, they expect to receive the same quality of experience in the hotel as they would receive at home or in the office. Read more to learn how Cisco is helping hoteliers adapt to the changing needs of hotel guests and lay the ground-work for the future for hotels.
The explosive growth of smart devices is constantly changing the hospitality industry and challenging hoteliers to quickly adapt to guests' needs and expectations. By 2015, 58 percent of U.S. mobile users will have smartphones; this number is significantly higher than the 38 percent reported in 2011. One of the main reasons for this rise is the user experience smart phones provide. I often try to imagine my life without a smart phone, along with all of the challenges I would face without it. In my line of work, it is crucial that I have mobile access to my email and Internet. Sometimes I wonder how as a society, we functioned before smartphones, and I'm assuming this is true for many others accustomed to smartphones as well. Smart devices are no longer a trend, but a reality and businesses have to adapt.
The spike in smart devices is changing the guest experience and driving change in Wi-Fi requirements across hotels. Fortunately, Cisco technology approaches the deployment of Wi-Fi with a holistic strategy. Unlike proprietary systems and multiple isolated networks applied by many manufacturers today, a single network infrastructure provides a reliable and scalable technological consistency throughout the hotel. The Cisco converged network is more than just access; it provides a solid foundation for deploying mobile applications.
When Wi-Fi is enabled in a hotel, the guest, cellular carrier, service provider and hotel all win. Because there is limited cellular coverage inside some hotels, it's important that Wi-Fi is enabled so guests can still fully leverage their smart phone's capabilities during their stay. Consistent and reliable Wi-Fi experiences improves the guest experience, better serves customers, and enables revenue growth opportunities with hospitality-specific mobile applications that span guest services to way-finding to engaging interactively with guests through local relevant personalized content and services. This is an area I wish to focus on.
Cisco technology allows hotels to use the network to engage with customers and leverage it as a revenue producer, rather than a cost center. For example, once connected to the Wi-Fi network, guests can download a loyalty application to their smart device and use it to read reviews about local restaurants, call for valet, check the business office hours and more. Advertisements, whether they be on a portal page, layered on top of localized apps, or are pay for product placements, are the best way to monetize the network. Cisco technology enables the hotels to add analytics to these mobile applications. This allows hotels to gain customer insights by tracking behaviors and buying patterns, which can be used to improve future mobile marketing initiatives.
As the demand for smart devices and mobile applications grows, Cisco will continue to meet the needs of hotel guest across the globe. After all, the guest experience is our number one priority and we know guests rely on their smart devices throughout their entire stay.

I have to admit, when I first heard about perfumed polish I was skeptical, that is until I tried Dior's new Garden Party set. Fittingly, it makes you want to frolic through the woods like a floral-clad nymph in A Midsummer Night's Dream, nails up to your nose the entire time. It's comprised of two colors/scents: Forget Me Not, a rich and sultry lilac color right on trend for spring, and Waterlily, a pale green that transports you, at least for a second, to fantasies of yachting in the Mediterranean. The only thing that rivals the sheer beauty of the shades is the aroma.
Upon immediate application, I didn't notice the difference. I sniffed and I got nothing – just good old-fashioned polish. But after a minute of drying, there it was: a bouquet of roses, potpourri…a garden party? Over the next three days, whether I was at the grocery store, in tree pose at Bikram yoga, or watching the new season of American Idol, I was (shockingly) able to smell my polish whenever my hands were near my face.
Snag 'em while they last for $23 each at Dior.com. Yes, they're pretty steep, but you're paying for two beauty products for the price of one. And they're limited edition, so we're pretty certain they will sell out very soon. I, for one, will be sporting the lilac shade as a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding in a few weeks. Who needs the actual bouquet for an hour when you can surround yourself with the scent all night? But if you still have sticker shock, then try the trend for a trifle with Revlon's Scented Parfume Nail Enamel in Mad About Mango for $4.79 at drugstore.com
I recently caught up with DIY nail art guru Taryn Multack, who writes one of my favorite blogs missladyfinger.com, and asked her about other spring trends to try if smelling your digits doesn't do it for you.
The Fashion Spot: What colors should I try this spring?
Taryn Multack: Tangerine and candy-colored hues inspired by the Prada and Louis Vuitton runways. Pair them with colored denim and a bold floral top for a standout effect.
tFS: What about nail art trends? Is ombre out?
TM: Not at all…it's still in! Here's an easy way for nail art novices to rock it: try 5 different shades of the same color family starting with the darkest shade on one finger (your thumb). Create the gradient effect by painting each nail in order with the lightest shade ending on the last nail.

Rocking out with José
I'm used to singing out loud and dancing through concerts, but last night the crowd was made up of older, low-key folks, in other words viejitos. People stayed put in their seats. But I felt myself chair-dancing, I couldn't help it. Especially when José played his version of Clapton's Lay Down Sally, and Sergio Mendez' signature song Mais que nada. I was totally feeling the music. I wanted to get up and DANCE!
My son was mesmerized by the effortless way José's fingers traveled up and down the guitar, creating the most soul-filled melodies. The artist told jokes and shared short stories between songs, about growing up in New York, about friends and family, and memories of his teachers. Even at this time in his life, when he has enjoyed success and basks in the love of his fans around the world, José spoke of his teachers. That meant the world to me.
Toward the end of the evening, José played a deeply-felt Drummer Boy… reminding me (the doubter, the questioner) about humility. It's etched in my mind, nudging me to adjust my attitude. I wish you could have heard it.
José closed the show with Feliz Navidad, one of the most popular holiday songs in the United States, and the #1 downloaded Latino song on iTunes. Everyone in the house was clapping and singing along in Spanish, and for me, the world was just about perfect.
Gracias papi – por el hermoso regalo.

OMG... What a treat! My kids love this song. I grew up with the tunes of Jose Feliciano, and I recall wondering how he could possibly play. A few years later, I took piano lessons and knew. The music is in your soul and they navigate the strings (keys).
Happy Holidays!!!

Help: BC.org Community Guidelines
BegerenColony.org (BC.org) is dedicated to providing a place for players to gather and to offering tools that enhance the experience and opportunities of playing The Old Republic on the Begeren Colony Server. We strive to provide an environment that fosters collaboration with as many players as possible over as diverse a character base as can be found within the Old Republic time period.
To accomplish this, we have a very loose set of agreements that users of the Community adhere to. You agree, through your use of this site, to abide by these guidelines in your conduct with all players during your time with BC.org.
1. Above all, members of the BC.org community are expected to respect fellow players both within and outside the community, including their playstyle, roleplay, and entertainment choices. Players are expected to consider how their actions may affect the play of others in the community as well as how the knowledge of changes or improvements to continuity will be disseminated to the rest of the community.
2. The BC.org community together promotes a baseline continuity among its players to better foster a rich RP environment, set within the Galactic War following the collapse of the Treaty of Coruscant in a manner that allows the use of in-game content with RP (e.g. acknowledging the Dread Master Conflict). Any change to this continuity that would affect other players (e.g. an event that causes a geographical change on Balmorra) is expected to be given pause and considered carefully.
3. In the event an OOC conflict does arise between players, members of the BC.org community are expected to seek a resolution between themselves in a mature manner and with as little impact to the play of others as possible. If players feel they are unable to resolve a conflict peaceably on their own, we encourage troubled players to seek out site Arbiters to help keep everything smooth.
4. Members of the BC.org community agree not to post any material which is false, defamatory, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, discriminatory, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also forbidden on this site. Any member who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify the Arbiters through the 'Report Post' function. Please note that this policy also applies to member behavior on any BC.org promoted in-game channels, and action may be taken on the site for in-game behaviors reported to the Admin team.
5. BegerenColony.org utilizes a warning-based disciplinary system to respond to misconduct. Arbiters and Admins will only apply a warning where a clear violation of this agreement is evident, however BC.org members agree to defer to Arbiter judgement in cases where they are required to intervene. If there is a dispute with an Arbiter on such judgement, BC.org members agree to escalate that case to an Administrator.
BC.org also requires that members never give their password out to another person (even an administrator), for their protection. Members are forbidden from using another members account for any reason. We also HIGHLY recommend members use a complex and unique password for their account, to prevent account theft.
Please be aware that with each post, your IP address is recorded, and that the site software uses cookies - a text file containing bits of information (such as your username and password) - in your browser's cache. This is ONLY used to keep you logged in/out. The software does not collect or send any other form of information to your computer.
By registering an account and using this site, all members agree to abide by the terms of these agreements and site guidelines. Enjoy your time with the Begeren Colony Community!
