NZXT M59 Classic Series Mid Tower Chassis
The Build and Finished Product
Getting to this point was pretty easy, but there was one stumbling block at first. In trying to install the risers, I found that the holes got painted over. Luckily I found a socket the right size and fixed my dilemma. Moving on, it took just a bit of time to run the wiring, but the provided holes made it a breeze. I see two potential issues. The top fan holes will work well if you want to use water, but may be in the way even with my stock cooling solution. The second issues is if your card is longer than 10.5 inches, you are going to have to "make room" for them in this chassis.
With all the parts in place, the rear of the M59 fills out nice and looks clean with a black PSU installed.
I didn't take a whole lot of time rounding up the wires and making it perfect. For the time I did take it was easy to get things tied to the tray and hopefully out of the way of installing the rear panel. As I said about the front, the holes are all in a great place and work well for managing things behind the scenes.
Not much has changed on the front, but that is about to change as soon as we'll power things up.
With the door back on you can see the internal components take on the bronze tint. There is a good view of all the components, but lets see how the fans do and see how NZXT has taken care of lighting effects.
Not too much to see from the side other than the glow of the fan while its powered up. With the light off in the photo booth, the internals are visible, even if they are blue. As the room got darker things are more visible inside with just the flood of light from this fan alone.
On the front, NZXT under-lit the front panel. There is a nice flood of light down the entire panel from this light hidden under the front. The ring around the power button is backlit with a blue LED to show it's on, while the reset button is backlit with a green Led to show HDD activity.

Tom Glocer is chief executive officer of Thomson Reuters, a leading global source of intelligent information for businesses and decision makers in the financial, legal, tax and accounting, scientific, healthcare and media markets.
Glocer joined Reuters Group in 1993 as vice president and deputy counsel of Reuters America and has held a number of senior leadership positions at Reuters, including President of Reuters LatAm and Reuters America, before being named CEO of Reuters Group PLC in July 2001.
Glocer is on the board of Merck & Co., Inc., and serves as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the International Business Council of the World Economic Forum, the International Advisory Board of British American Business Inc., and various other corporate and philanthropic organizations. Glocer holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Columbia University and a J.D. from Yale Law School. You can read his blog at www.tomglocer.com.
Question: Which media companies will win over the next decade?
Tom Glocer: I've probably tipped my answer a little bit. I think it's always the companies that have a certain lightness of technological feet. People who are not so bought into one particular era's Technology that they can't look at their business, abstract a layer up as to where their real value lies, and transfer it one generation from the next, literally curve jump from one technology to the next.
There are countless examples of companies that either buy up satellites, or lay telegraph wires, or like Wang and Videk and dedicated word processors, couldn't make that transition.
I think the media companies of the future are the ones that say, "Yes, we were something called the newspaper, and yes we did publish on trees, and no we didn't have video because you couldn't show a video on a piece of paper. But now, actually you can and we are a content company. We're about telling compelling stories whether they are totally non-fiction excellent journalism, or whether they're fictional, including what we call the movies."
I think it's those companies that are self-aware and understand their value and their audience, they'll make the leap. And obviously I believe that they're electronic. If you look at where people are still making money in media writ large, it tends to be on the electronic side.
Question: What are your thoughts on paid content?
Tom Glocer: I think people are willing to pay for quality content. I still read a couple of newsletters which are quite, expensive and are now sent via PDF, but they're fundamentally very old fashioned. I do, because I still value the content they provide.
I think newspaper and media companies, in general, got very over-leveraged on one particular modernization model, which was advertising, and in particular the most vulnerable part of advertising, which was classified. Everyone is now used to the reason why Craigslist or Monster.com is a far more efficient version of classified. You can't search a newspaper and who wants to spend a whole day reading little bitty ads?
I think the other shock to this system was what Google and others have done to more conventional advertising, which is the old adage in the ad world was, or at least for the clients of the ad agencies, "I know I'm wasting 50% of my advertising. I just don't know which 50%."
Well guess what? Now you know.
By targeting and linking the ads serve up to the action that you wanted to instill, folks like Google have greatly increased the potential efficiency of online advertising. To me that means that you no longer have to waste that other 50%, and we're seeing a tremendous compression. Were seeing a recession as well as a structural change in the advertising market. It's only logical that if people really do value the content, and I think there are people who do, newspapers and others are going to start charging for it and if you look at what folks like the FT ["Financial Times"] and the Journal ["Wall Street Journal"] are doing, they've been pushing up the price of newspapers, and I think that's entirely justified.
Recorded on: May 29 2009.
I try and learn also from other people's mistakes by just watching and talking to them.

Skip to comments.Keystone XL the 'safest pipeline ever'
Posted on 12/02/2011 3:30:08 PM PST by Clive
OTTAWA -- Republicans turned up the heat on U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday to reverse his decision to delay what was described at a congressional hearing as the safest oil pipeline ever proposed.
A parade of witnesses appeared at a House sub-committee meeting on energy to defend the safety and economic benefits of the Keystone XL pipeline, and to warn of the consequences should it rupture.
And in between partisan sniping between Democrats and Republicans, pipeline junkies learned Alberta-based TransCanada Corp. has adopted 57 additional safety measures, including 21,000 censors linked to satellites to detect problems.
"This is the most technologically advanced and safest pipeline ever proposed," Rep. Ed Whitfield said, noting XL has a censor every 167 meters to monitor pressure, flow rates and to identify leaks.
Republicans introduced legislation in the Senate this week that would force the State Department to issue a permit within 60 days to kick start the project critics say Obama delayed until after next fall's election to keep his environmental base onside and money flowing to his re-election bid.
Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada's president of energy and oil pipelines, reminded lawmakers no other pipeline has gone through as many reviews and as much scrutiny since the oil giant applied for a construction permit 40 months ago.
The $7 billion pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels of crude daily to the Gulf Coast, where specialized refineries process a similar product from Venezuela.
"This has been by far the most exhaustive and detailed review ever conducted of a crude oil pipeline in the U.S.," said Pourbaix.
Representatives from organized labour pitched their support and the need for the 20,000 shovel-ready jobs XL would produce and spinoff work.
Alternative energy producers and a representative from a Nebraska citizens group opposed to the pipeline asked the committee not to rush the project.
It was the United States, not TransCanada that chose the direct route. Its grounds appear to have been that it was shorter and so involved less real estate and that it crossed fewer rivers.
Keystone XL = a very large can (24oz) of Beer?
Keep the heat on Obama over this pipeline. Shove those words about "shovel ready jobs" down his lying throat.
21,000 CENSORS? What is it? A guvmint pipeline?
What the hell is wrong with Democrats? have they all lost their minds.
Can they really be this loyal to the POS in the White House.
20,000 jobs, Energy independence from the Middle east.
This is a Nationa Security decision in my mind.
What possible reason can they offer for not wanting this pipeline, other than to give more money to the alterniative energy producers who have already made many of them rich.
We need a Republican President bad, but we need a Repoublican House and Senate even more. A House and senate filled with Real Republicans, not the RINO's that fill those slots now.
"... and the Titanic is 'unsinkable'."
Personally, yes, keep up the pressure on ODrama. we want and need this for many good reasons.Just don't jinx it.
This whole sordid display is proof positive that BOZ is bent on destroying America from within..
Reroute it to avoid the aquifer and Nebraska.
Somehow in those weird things they call brains, they'd rather see the oil go to China if oil sand development continues without the U.S. pipeline. These people are not sane.
40 Months.
Seriously, though...does anyone even think if they DID make that detour, that the opponents would smile broadly and say "Oh, well then...we are fine with it!"
If the pipe goes over a creek where the Obsidian Striped Borer Beetle lives, that would be the next obstacle. Detour around that...
It will never end. These people are determined to ruin us.
EXACTLY. Well said.
Bamster is paying off his college loans by blocking a pipeline that would lessen Arab political clout. The Saudis do not want anything that would reduce the price of oil. Those palaces are expensive.
Methinks that would have the opposite effect of 21,000 sensors.
Oil sands exploitation will continue and the oil will go to China. Bank on it.
"The $7 billion pipeline would transport 830,000 barrels of crude daily to the Gulf Coast, where specialized refineries process a similar product from Venezuela."
I support the pipeline, but I have to wonder.
Maybe, just maybe, it would make more sense to build a refinery closer to the source?
Short pipeline, new refinery, for the WIN.
Gulf Coast is prone to shutdown due to severe weather, it might make sense to put a refinery or two quite a bit further inland.
NE U.S. still uses a lot of heating oil, a nearby refinery might cut transport cost.
Of course the NIMBY's and eco-nuts have prevented any new refinery being built for decades.
Maybe the pipe line would be less offensive to them than a new refinery?
Of course we all know the real eco-nut goal is to destroy our way of life by denying us any new source of oil/energy.
I think there is at least one refinery in Kansas already gearing up to take advantage of this line.
"Maybe, just maybe, it would make more sense to build a refinery closer to the source?"D'accord.
How about Turner Valley.
I have no idea where that is, but it's fine by me.
Good luck with the NIMBY's.
If the Canadians stepped up production, that might leave little Hugo with less refining capacity needed here for those refineries. Can't be messing with 'bammy's homies, now.
Good. Keep those censors (sensors?) busy so the news can get out!
And here I thought he rode in on a Fulbright...
Turner Valley is in Alberta.
Canada would much prefer to sell that oil to our best ally, neighbor, and trading partner. It would make the US stronger and more prosperous, and that's good for Canada. The US doesn't want that secure supply of oil. Read that sentence again.
At $100 a barrel the tar sands will be exploited. That oil will go to market. If the US doesn't want it, there is a large Asian nation that does, and that deal is already in the works.
I am increasingly of the opinion that normal elective procedures cannot heal what ails the U.S. The sickness is too serious and it has metastasized into every part of our body politic. It must be surgically rooted out, the sooner the better.
Ironically much of the inspiration for U.S. "green" anti-development comes from Canadian Maurice Strong, the evil genius behind the U.N.'s Agenda 21.
I greatly admire the form of government the founders of your nation devised. Unfortunately several legislative and judicial decisions in the 20th century have eroded the republican form of government to the extent that the country seems ungovernable.
A return to actual form of government outlined in the constitution would rectify today's problems.
That is essentially impossible given the deliberate subversion of our political processes and institutions. Our form of government requires a moral people and Americans are very far lost into decadence.
Read "The Shadow Party" by David Horowitz and Richard Poe to learn how corrupted our institutions have become. The book was published in 2006 and matters have become far worse with the election of Obama and his radical henchmen. America is locked in the throes of a quiet but deadly revolution.
Imagine nine Clarence Thomas's or Scalias on the court. Imagine judges of their ilk in the majority of all the appeals and circuit courts. The return to a constitutional republic would be swift and dramatic.
Has there EVER been a major oil disaster on land?
Even when SoDamn HInsane blew up all the wells in Kuwait on the way out there was no big deal
Only on water shipping or drilling
And that's why I brought up the subject of American decadence. About 50% of Americans have been conditioned to expect the government to provide for them. The idiots who are against the pipeline probably never took a science or economics class and have the fuzzy wrong-headed notion that "green" energy can provide for all our needs.
I'm afraid I no longer have faith that an immature, selfish, dumbed-down, popular culture-saturated "people" have the intelligence or the will to solve America's problems. The next election will tell all.
For the first time in too many years Canada has a majority Conservative government. There is no country I would rather reside in as this storm gathers.
The enviro-wackos want us all living in grass huts like Obama's half brother in Kenya living on $15 per year.
You are well situated. Bottom line is that Canada and Australia have 30 million population each and are pro-extraction of natural resources. You can sell your oil, coal and minerals on world markets (China). This wealth gets spread around (one way or another) 30 million instead of 300 million what we have in America (USA)
_Plus your banking system is sound. No crazy mortgage/Wall Street rip-off machine like we had in America
It is a lot harder to govern 300 million, 10 times harder, in fact.
Do not discount the advantage of a conservative (common sense) government and leadership. PM Harper knows the Kyoto treaty is garbage. He knows that exploiting the tar sands means wealth and prosperity for Canada. He knows a good working relationship with our strongest ally is vital. He knows the "gun registry" won't stop a single crime.
The problem, on both sides of the border, is that the electorate occasionally lose their common sense and vote for the snake oil salesman who wants to use other people's money to buy votes. These are all conservative/common sense positions.

One day when Artie, finally defeats a very difficult level that not even his sister could beat, he's very surprised to see a secret message in the game addressed to him specifically. He believes it to be a coincidence. They are preparing for his sisters tournament and leave to the hotel where they will be staying at. Once at the hotel, Artie begins to unpack the gaming system so that his sister can practice once she returns from registering with their dad. But when Artie can't find her "special" remote control, he just thinks that she took it with her. When Kay returns to the hotel and realizes that her control was left behind at her house, shes begins to panic. But Artie has a solution for his sister and what he does not know is that it will be the beginning of his new life. He will discover something about himself and his family that he never knew, and it will be the adventure of a lifetime.
Although, this book is not my style, I gave it a chance anyway and I am glad I did, because it's such an adorable book filled with imagination, adventure, and lovable characters. It is very well described, written and understandable for that age group.I highly recommend this book to all children, they will love it ! - Jenny
I also need to say how much I enjoy the author's use of language. Using mostly simple words that my grade school nephew can easily read, he creates beautiful prose worthy of the greatest authors of our time.
"...the weapons met again in a song of steel. The sound spoke volumes to young King Artie, as if he'd been waiting to hear these notes of metal on metal his whole life."
So cool. Your kids will love it just as mine do.
The Good
The transition from old school legend to modern day gamers and technology in this book is fascinating. I don't know a child alive that wouldn't enjoy the idea that they could actually go into their video games. Now, what I know about the legend of King Arthur comes from the movie The Sword in the Stone so I'm aware that I only have one wonderfully colorful side of the story. It happens to be one of my favorite animated movies to date, and like that movie, this book has Merlin and King Arthur and a red-headed Kay although she is his sister. They appear to get along rather well for pre-teen siblings, but then again he is adopted.
This book follows Artie as he journeys to a video game store for a controller for his sister to use in a tournament and meets Merlin. It all goes wild from there. He is introduced to Tom Thumb and is on a quest for two incredible swords (one for him and one for sis). Excalibur in The Invisible Tower has a lot of awesome abilities. I don't want to go into a lot of detail and ruin it for readers, but I'm an adult and my 10 year old has been reading it, and we both enjoy the action and characters. Johnson-Shelton really knows how to talk to children and the child in us. I am not really sure what a Dr. Pepper head is, but I know that I love Dr. Pepper and definitely do things that people think are nerdy.
The Bad
While I grew close to a wide array of characters, there were some that felt flat.
The Romance
There is a little bit of crush action going on, but nothing really in the realm of romance.Read more ›
Arthur "Artie" Kingfisher was adopted by his family when he was just a baby. Until recently he's never really questioned where he came from, but after a not-so-chance meeting with Merlin, he's curious. The answers are not what he ever expected to find and actually, they're quite hard to really believe. He's King Arthur? As he and his sister and knight, Kay, embark on a series of adventures to save the worlds, they'll have to face dragons, elves, witches, and any number of magical beings to free Merlin in hopes of saving the world.
Artie and Kay were really fun characters to get to know. I really liked that they had a great family dynamic with their father, Kynder, and with each other. Their personalities were also quite complimentary--when Artie was nervous, Kay was strong and vice versa. As Artie learned more about who he was and Excalibur showed him new things, he came into his own (whereas at the beginning, Kay was clearly the dominant one).
Overall, I felt like this was a good fantasy adventure for young readers, probably between ages 9-10. While I personally didn't enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed some other MG fantasy novels, I felt like it had good pacing and a fun, adventurous storyline that will offer young fantasy readers something to enjoy. Slightly older MG readers may find that the dialogue and storyline is a tad simplistic and the non-ending is a bit unsatisfying. I walked away feeling like the cliffhanger ending was unnecessary and they never resolved the one thing that they really set out on the quest to do--save the world.

I want to make a little project and I want to use neural networks with python. I found that pybrain is the best solution. But until now, all the examples and questions I have found, cannot help me.
I have a sequence of numbers. Hundreds of rows. Some values are missing and instead of a number, there are a "x".
For example
and so on. This is just an example. Not my sequence.
I thought to read one by one the values and train my neural net and when I find one 'x' I will predict the number and I will continue training it with the following numbers.
What I have found until now are training like this one
with some inputs and some outputs.
Any advice how can I continue with it?
Edit: I figure something and I would like to receive feedback, because I don't know if it is right.
I still have the string for above. I split it in list so I have a list where each entity is a number.
for ind in range(len(myList)):
if not myList[ind] == "x" and not myList[ind+1]=="x":
net = FeedForwardNetwork()
inp = LinearLayer(1)
h1 = SigmoidLayer(1)
outp = LinearLayer(1)
net.addConnection(FullConnection(inp, h1))
net.addConnection(FullConnection(h1, outp))
trainer = BackpropTrainer(net, ds)
lis[ind+1] = net.activate((ind,))
GO to the beggining and continue from the last "x" which replaced from the net.activate()
What do you think? Do you believe that something like this will work?

I have a spreadsheet that has about 16 equations that use ranges.
I want to be able to copy the data and equations for multiple runs of the data. With different runs of the data, the ranges are different.
Rather than edit the ranges in 16 equations, I would like to put the range in a single cell that is used by all the equations. Then I can just edit the range once.
Named Ranges don't really help because when I copy the set of equations, the named ranges are copied too, and I have to edit all 16 of them to different ranges, as well as create new named ranges for each instance of the data.
The INDIRECT function doesn't help because it takes a string as input, not a range.
Ideally, I could put a range in cell X123, and edit it using the normal range specification techniques. In my equations I would just put =Average(!X123), if ! was the magical indirect operator, and the equation would provide the average of the cells in the range contained in X123.
Is there a good way to accomplish this?

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand

Serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song. — Psalm 100:2
Sacred music is one of the primary means by which we worship, love, and serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Church of the Incarnation is blessed to be able to offer sacred music in a variety of styles. In our Traditional services, we offer the best of the Anglican choral tradition, with music led by the organ and the Incarnation Choir. At our Uptown Contemporary services, you'll find a more modern approach, one that incorporates guitars, piano, bass, drums, loops, and various stringed instruments.

Traditional Service
Music in the Church
Music brings a new dimension to Christian worship, and the Scriptures offer many examples of the use of music to love and worship our Lord. Sacred music, in particular, has a unique ability to thin the veil between Earth and Heaven. By offering musical liturgies, it is our goal to give our best to God and to "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." (Psalm 96:9)
The Incarnation Choir sings for the 9 am and 11:15 am traditional services each Sunday, as well as 5 pm Choral Evensong during the academic year (September through May).
The Incarnation Choir
The Incarnation Choir, comprised of 10 professional singers and 30 volunteers, maintains a vigorous singing schedule, including more than 125 choral services per year, as well as concerts and special events.
The choir's repertoire spans nearly 1000 years, ranging from Gregorian chant to 21st-century music. Their discography includes seven compact discs, the latest of which is a recording of Lessons & Carols as broadcast on Public Radio International. During the parish's centennial year, the choir commissioned and premiered compositions by Joel Martinson, Hans-Dieter Karras and Francis Jackson.
The Incarnation Choir has toured extensively in the United Kingdom including residencies at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and Westminster Abbey. In the summer of 2014, they made their first tour to Washington D.C. and New York which included a week-long residency at Washington National Cathedral and services at St. Thomas, Fifth Avenue and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Those interested in auditioning for the choir are encouraged to contact Scott Dettra. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9:30 pm. Volunteer members are asked to sing two services each Sunday on a rotating schedule. Singing in the choir is a great ministry opportunity and a fun way to use your musical gifts and talents.
Concert Series
7:30pm Friday, April 15
The Tallis Scholars
Peter Phillips founded The Tallis Scholars in 1973. Through recordings and concert performances, the ensemble has established itself as the leading exponent of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Peter Phillips has worked with the group to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound that he feels best serves the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars has become so widely renowned. Tickets may purchased through the link below. A festive reception will follow in the welcome center. Childcare will be provided.
Choral Evensong
Choral Evensong is offered Sundays at 5 pm throughout the academic year. Visitors and newcomers to the parish find Evensong to be an accessible way in which to experience the full beauty of the Anglican tradition. The candlelit service consists largely of music, both ancient and modern, sung by the Incarnation Choir.
The office of Evensong was codified by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in 1549, but is based on services that have been prayed by Christians for well over a thousand years. The service is one of serenity and calm in which we seek to "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."
Evensong lasts only 45 minutes and is followed by a spoken Eucharist for those who wish to stay.
Lessons & Carols
Our history of Lessons & Carols began in 1959. It has become a tradition within our parish to offer this service to our community every December featuring not only conventional readers such as choristers and our bishops but also community leaders from the arts, philanthropy, education, commerce, government and other religious organizations.
The Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols was first held on Christmas Eve 1918 at King's College, Cambridge, UK. Almost immediately other churches adapted the service for their own use. Wherever the service is heard and however it is adapted, whether the music is provided by choir or congregation, the pattern and strength of the service derive from the lessons and not the music. "The main theme is the development of the loving purposes of God …" seen "through the windows and the words of the Bible".
The use of the organ in Christian worship has a history stretching back to the 1400s. The breadth of music required in today's worship demands an instrument capable of both subtlety and strength. The Incarnation Organ, built by the Noack Organ Company in 1994, admirably fulfills these roles. Its 58 stops are distributed among four keyboards and a pedal clavier. Of the 4,105 individual pipes, 2,218 come from Incarnation's first organ, a 1960 Aeolian-Skinner. The instrument has an electric playing action, with the console located in the loft opposite the organ case.
The sound of the Incarnation organ was designed to support robust congregational and choral singing, finding parallels to classical organ design as well as certain details of 19th-century English cathedral organs. The result is an instrument that balances warmth and color with brilliance and excitement.
In 2015, responding to two decades of experience with the organ's musical performance, Noack returned to undertake a thorough renovation. Portions of the mechanism were re-engineered to improve sound egress and dynamic range, and seven new stops replaced earlier, less satisfactory ones. In the process, the organ was cleaned, and every pipe adjusted and tuned. Richard Houghten of Milan, Michigan supplied the console with new keyboards, a rebuilt pedalboard, and a new complement of playing aids based on the guidelines of the American Guild of Organists.
Scott Dettra, Director of Music
Scott Dettra has been acclaimed as one of the leading American concert organists of his generation. He combines an active performance schedule with his post as Director of Music and Organist at the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas, where he leads a vibrant music program in the country's fifth largest Episcopal parish. Prior to his appointment in Dallas, he was for five years Organist and Associate Director of Music at Washington National Cathedral, where he served as principal organist and assisted with the direction of the Cathedral choirs. Mr. Dettra's playing is known for its poetry, rhythmic intensity, and musical elegance.
He has performed at national conventions of the American Guild of Organists (2002, 2010, 2014), the Association of Anglican Musicians (1996, 2005, 2012), and the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians. Festival appearances include the Lincoln Center Festival, the Carmel Bach Festival, the Arizona Bach Festival, the Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts, and the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. In addition to his concert appearances, his performances have been broadcast on American Public Media's Pipedreams and Performance Today, the BBC's Choral Evensong, and The New York Philharmonic This Week.
A native of Wilmington, Delaware, Mr. Dettra holds two degrees from Westminster Choir College, where he was a student of Joan Lippincott, and has also studied jazz piano at Manhattan School of Music.

Graham Schultz, Assistant Organist
A native of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Graham Schultz currently serves as Assistant Organist at Church of the Incarnation in Dallas, Texas. He holds the Bachelor of Music degree in organ performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Prior to studying in Cleveland, Mr. Schultz attended the Interlochen Arts Academy in northern Michigan where, upon graduation, he was awarded the Fine Arts Award in Organ Performance. From 2010 to 2013 Mr. Schultz was the Lloyd Cast Organ Fellow at the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany, New York where he served as the principal organist and assisted in overseeing the nation's oldest continuously-performing Choir of Men and Boys. He has served as an accompanist for multiple choral residencies in Britain including at the Cathedrals of Durham, Gloucester, Hereford, Rochester, and St. Patrick's, Dublin. Most recently he accompanied the Incarnation Choir on their 2014 tour to Washington National Cathedral, St. Thomas Fifth Avenue, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. In 2015, Mr. Schultz was awarded the Associateship Certificate by the American Guild of Organists. His teachers have included Thomas Bara, Charles Rigsby, and Todd Wilson. Mr. Schultz currently serves as a Regional Councilor for the Association of Anglican Musicians.
Alex Gilson, Organ Scholar
Alex Gilson is currently pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in both Organ Performance and Jazz Studies at the University of North Texas in Denton where he is a student of Dr. Jesse Eschbach and Pat Coil. He is the First Prize winner of the 2015 William C. Hall Pipe Organ Competition in both the repertoire and hymn playing divisions. In 2014, Mr. Gilson was named the Outstanding Undergraduate Student in Organ Performance at UNT. He received his high school diploma from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in 2011. His teachers have included Dan Haerle, Dr. Crista Miller, and Dr. Timothy Olsen, and Hugh Thompson. Mr. Gilson plans to pursue a career as a church organist and jazz pianist as well as to teach the rewarding art of music to others.
The Incarnation bell tower houses twenty-five bells. The oldest bell was cast in 1887 by the Meneely Bell Foundry of Troy, New York for the then Cathedral Chapel of the Incarnation. The inscription on the original bell bears witness to the rural location of the first church, "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord." In 1963, a twenty-four bell carillon was installed by the Van Bergen Company on the current Incarnation campus. All of the bells are playable both automatically and from the organ console. In 2014, the bells were fully refurbished by the Verdin Company of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Uptown Contemporary Service
Music in Ascension Chapel
In Uptown you'll find guitars, piano, drums, upright bass, strings, banjo, and more, all rollicking tunes to God. On any given Sunday you may hear a 15th century hymn and a song on the radio played within minutes of one another.
Music that connects us to a historical faith while fostering hope for the here and now. That's the Uptown Worship Band. Catch them at the 9 am, 11:15 am, and 5:30 pm contemporary services each week.
Uptown Worship Band
The Uptown Worship Band leads a Christ-centered, rich worship experience connected to a historical faith that fosters hope, brings glory to God as one body through playing instruments and singing, and encourages us to live our lives according to The Gospel. The songs we sing are for the glory of God and not entertainment. They are theologically sound and lead us to a true place of worship where the triune God is praised.
Those interested in auditioning for the band are encouraged to contact Justin Brooks.
Director of Music for Uptown
Justin Brooks is a worship music leader and songwriter based in Dallas, Texas where he serves as Director of Music Uptown at Church of the Incarnation. Born and raised in Beaumont, near the coast of Southeast Texas, the long line of musicians and church music directors in his family (his father being one of them) influenced him from an early age. Trained as a concert percussionist from age 11, his love for playing drums eventually led to his fascination with learning different instruments, eventually becoming accomplished on guitar, piano, and various other instruments. It was in high school that Justin began leading his youth group in worship every Wednesday and Sunday.
Justin eventually relocated to his second home of Dallas where he studied and received a Bachelor's Degree in music business from Dallas Baptist University. During his time there, he performed throughout Europe and the Baltic States. He also led worship music at a campus-wide bible study with his band, Souldancefree, allowing him to travel the country and abroad, leading music and performing in various venues and events, such as student summer camps, national student conferences, and Metro Bible Study – Houston. In 2005, he joined The Epic Press (formerly Rhythm) as their lead guitarist for the EMG/Warner label. Justin traveled the United States and shared the stage with national acts such as Newsboys and Chris August.
One of Justin's passions is writing original music and songs in which the Uptown Worship Band uses to lead the congregation in worship. In addition to other recordings, Justin and the Uptown Worship Band released Thirst in 2008. This collaboration of original worship songs has a central message that all of the love, kindness, and gifts that God gives us, should in turn make us have a deep desire to long for Him, and that He would quench the "dry and weary land" of our hearts. In 2012, Uptown Worship Band released a collection of modern settings of hymns, Psalms, and ancient prayers titled Hymns And Psalms. They followed that up with an EP of canticles in 2014, Songs From Earth, Our Island Home.
Justin lives in Dallas with his wife, Tiffany and two children, Taylor and Grayson.

11 rebels join peace process in Herat
HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): Nearly a dozen militants on Wednesday joined the peace process in western Herat province, an official said.
Local officials said the reconciling militants had been active against the government in Guzra district.
They laid down their weapons in the presence of the governor and promised partaking in improving the security situation of the province.
Governor Mohammad Asif Rahimi told a ceremony welcoming the former fighters that all rebels should shun insurgency and return to a normal life.
Iran ready for help on Afghan peace process – Daily Times
ISLAMABAD: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday said that his country was ready to cooperate with Pakistan on peace process in Afghanistan.
The visiting dignitary told a press conference on the conclusion of his two-day tour that Tehran fully agreed to a proposal by Islamabad for holding trilateral talks among Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan on the peace dialogue. "Peace and stability is vital for Afghanistan. We are ready to do whatever we can to help achieve peace and security there," he said.
President Rouhani said that he and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had specifically discussed the Afghan issue during Friday talks.
Afghan peace process: Desperation versus strength
The general weariness of the Afghan conflict provides the necessary push for finding a viable peace settlement.
On February 23, diplomats from Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States will meet in Kabul for the fourth round of talks aimed at bringing respite to a troubled land. This quadrilateral process is the latest effort in the long and arduous journey towards an Afghan peace settlement. The pursuit of peace is almost as old as the Afghan conflict itself.

Reading the Afghan Taliban: 67 Sources You Should Be Studying
A list of 'value-added' sources that offer useful and/or unique information.
Books & Reports
Jere van Dyk's book contains recollections of time spent in south-eastern Afghanistan (including conversations with Jalaluddin Haqqani) and Kandahar during the early 1980s. Lots of atmospheric description and snippets of discussions. Not definitive, by any means, but useful nonetheless.
This was the first mainstream book published about the Taliban movement in English. It should come as no surprise that Hurst Publishers (in London; also my publisher) were the ones to put it out. This is a fairly variable book in terms of the criteria specified above. Most essays are synoptic in nature rather than based on fieldwork or reporting from Afghanistan itself. Anthony Davis' essay on the Taliban's military strategy and tactics is based on time spent on the ground during the early years of the movement's expansion, though, and offers a lot that isn't available elsewhere.
The Taliban's propaganda activities: how well is the Afghan insurgency communicating and what is it saying?
A SIPRI Project Paper by Tim Foxley*
International analysts and media alike often claim that current Taliban propaganda efforts are winning over the population in Afghanistan and that this is tipping the balance in favour of the insurgency. Such claims are exaggerated; but because of a perceived failure to provide effective
security and reconstruction, the Afghan Government and international military forces have lost much of the 'hearts and minds' initiative that they held in 2002 following the defeat of the Taliban. The Taliban's own hearts and minds activities are now prolonging and exacerbating an
already difficult insurgency problem for the Afghan Government and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the south of the country.

Rhetoric, Ideology and Organizational Structure of the Taliban Movement
This report examines the evolution of the Taliban case for armed struggle and the minimal adjustments Taliban rhetoricians made to cope with the impending political change in Afghanistan in 2014. It considers how the Taliban might make a case for peace, should they take the political decision to engage in negotiations.
- The Taliban movement commands the loyalty of thousands of Afghans and applies resources and men to the pursuit of political objectives, guided by doctrine and inspired by rhetoric.
- Taliban rhetoric consists of religious and historical references, narratives of recent events, and guidance for Taliban sympathizers.
- The rhetoric asserts that the Taliban are engaged in a righteous jihad aimed at establishing a divinely ordered Islamic system in Afghanistan.
- Taliban doctrine focuses on internal affairs and in particular on maintaining cohesiveness. The Taliban are ruthless in enforcing their doctrine of obedience to the amir, or leader.
- The movement has retained a narrow social base, and its power is concentrated in the hands of mullahs from the Kandahari Pashtun tribes.
- Any project to build a plural Afghanistan is likely to include an appeal to the Taliban or the constituency they have mobilized.
Black flags and balaclavas: how jihadists dress for imaginary war
Source Link: Author: Michael Semple, Queen's University Belfast
The first thing that I noticed in the gruesome pictures of two gunmen fleeing the scene of their attack on Charlie Hebdo was that the men were dressed from head to toe in black.
It might sound strange, but terrorist couture is a surprisingly relevant detail from which to start making sense of what happened in Paris, and how it connects to other acts of jihadi terrorism worldwide.
The attackers dressed to look like members of a paramilitary force not to trick their way through a security check, but to symbolise their belonging to an army – albeit an imagined one.
Former UN Adviser Talks Taliban's Future
RFE/RL: What is your assessment of Tehrik-e Taliban (TTP) Pakistan after they claimed this week's horrific attack in Peshawar, massacring some 150 schoolchildren and teachers?
Michael Semple: The TTP in December 2014 is much weaker than it was before the North Waziristan operation began back in June. As well as having lost its bases, it has suffered multiple leadership challenges and fragmentation. However, most of the key TTP commanders are still in business. They say they are still determined to wage their version of jihad, and the dreadful attack in Peshawar is an expression of that. It is an attack from a position of weakness rather than of strength.

I truly feel that the author got the balance in this book wrong. I felt that the h was a pitiful girl, who didn't have a lot going for her. Her family doesn't care for her, she's loved the H for 6 years (he has no idea) and now she's pining after him and of course he was her first kiss and she's never given herself to anyone. The H wants to be loved by everyone - he has 3 loving siblings even though he lost his parents whilst a teenager. He is gorgeous and women love him. Total imbalance before we start. Somehow the h gets the H to take notice of her and she uses another character to make him jealous. Eventually the H gives in and starts a 'secret' relationship with her. The more I read the worse it got. The H never really takes a chance on her and she gives him everything. It seems there always has to be a drama before he will make a stand. On the night of her birthday he disrespects her by being photographed out and about with 2 of his beautiful costars despite promising her he'd come back to her.Read more ›
Zoey have two parents that never had any time for her. Too busy with work and other matters, they pretty much leave her alone or ship her off somewhere. She's felt so alone for years. Most of the girls at the boarding school are terrible to her and treat her horribly. Meeting Tegan and becoming somewhat of a part of the Callahan clan has helped her some. After high school graduation, she wants something different so she goes to Paris. She wants to become more sophisticated and confident and not be just the same kid that most people see.
Blake has dealt with more tragedy than most people. When he was in his teenage years, both of his parents were killed in a car accident and there for 4 kids that had to make it through and take care of each other. Ash was the oldest brother and sibling and he did everything he could to keep a roof over everybody's head. They were all dealing with things differently and Blake thought it best to try to make everyone think of other things and not be destructive. He was upset and heartbroken it all but he thought his part was to make everyone happy and think things would be ok.
Worth reading.
Unwritten captured me from the beginning. Melody Grace's ability to create real and believable characters is amazing. With every twist and turn, I couldn't wait to find out more. Though this is a stand alone book, I will definitely be looking into other Beachwood Bay books to learn about other interesting characters from this book!

"Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn" is a comedy disguised as a blood-soaked shock-a-rama. It looks superficially like a routine horror movie, a vomitorium designed to separate callow teenagers from their lunch. But look a little closer and you'll realize that the movie is a fairly sophisticated satire. Level One viewers will say it's in bad taste. Level Two folks like myself will perceive that it is about bad taste.
The plot: Visitors to a cottage in the Michigan woods discover a rare copy of the Book of the Dead and accidentally invoke evil spirits. The spirits run amok, disemboweling and vivisecting their victims. The hero battles manfully with the dread supernatural forces, but he is no match for the unspeakably vile creatures in the basement, in the woods and behind every door.
This story is told with wall-to-wall special effects. Skeletons dance in the moonlight. Heads spin on top of bodies. Hands go berserk and start attacking their owners. After they are chopped off, they have a life of their own. Heads are clamped into vises and squashed. Blood sprays all over everything. Guts spill. Slime spews. If nauseating images of horrific gore are not, as they say, your cup of tea, the odds are good you will not have a great time during this movie.
On the other hand, if you know it's all special effects, and if you've seen a lot of other movies and have a sense of humor, you might have a great time at "Evil Dead 2." I did - up to a point. The movie devours ideas at such a prodigious rate that it begins to repeat itself toward the end, but the first 45 minutes have a kind of manic, inspired genius to them.
Consider, for example, the scene where the hero severs his hand from his body and the hand takes on a life of its own, attacking him. Leave out the blood and the gore and a few of the details, and this entire sequence builds like a tribute to the Three Stooges. Consider the scene where the hero attaches a chain saw to what's left of his amputated arm. Disgusting, right? But the director, Sam Raimi, approaches it as a sly jab at the way Robert De Niro armed himself in "Taxi Driver."
I'm not suggesting that "Evil Dead 2" is fun merely because you can spot the references to other movies. It is because (a) the violence and gore are carried to such an extreme that they stop being disgusting and become surrealistic; (b) the movie's timing aims for comedy, not shocks, and (c) the grubby, low-budget intensity of the film gives it a lovable quality that high-tech movies wouldn't have.
There is one shot in the film that is some kind of masterpiece. There is a force out there in the woods. We never see it, but we see things from its point of view. In one long and very complex unbroken point-of-view shot, this force roars through the woods, flattens everything, crashes through the cabin door, and roars through room after room with invincible savagery, chasing the hero until.... But I wouldn't dream of giving away the joke.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Many people are upset by the fact that the economical, "upgrade" version of Vista won't accept a Windows XP or Windows 2000 CD-ROM as proof of ownership. Vista Upgrade is said to install only to a hard disk that already has XP or 2000 already on it.
But I've tested a method that allows you to clean-install the Vista upgrade version on any hard drive, with no prior XP or W2K installation — or even a CD — required.
Save by avoiding the 'full' version
Windows Vista, in my opinion, is a big improvement over Windows XP in many ways. But the new operating system is distinctly overpriced.
The list price of the "full" (not "upgrade") version of the most expensive edition, Vista Ultimate, is $399.95 USD, with a street price around $380. That gold-plated retail figure is only possible because Microsoft long ago achieved monopoly pricing power in the PC operating system market.
Most computer users would prefer to keep using an older version of Windows, such as XP, rather than paying the inflated prices for the "full" version of Vista. To encourage switching to a new OS, Microsoft has historically offered a lower, "upgrade" price to people who can prove that they've previously purchased an older copy of Windows.
The difference between Vista's full and upgrade prices can be substantial. Based on the asking prices shown at Shopping.com on Jan. 31 — the day after the consumer version of Vista became available — the four most popular Vista versions will set you back approximately as follows:

LeBron James calls Lakers 'a really good team'
From the Miami Heat's locker room after the Lakers handed them a 93-83 defeat Sunday, two days after Utah beat them:
LeBron James on where his team is:
"We played hard and we gave everything we had. When you do that, you can -- I don't want to say feel good -- but you can be satisfied with that one and just try to get better."
James on the Lakers:
"That's a good team. That's a really good team. They're 16-2 (now 17-2) at home for a reason. They're one of the best teams in the league at home."
James on Kobe, who burned them for 33 points:
"He's a scorer. He's a great scorer. He's one of the best and he got it going.
Shane Battier on how team adjusted to Kobe in second half. Bryant scored 20 of his 33 points in the first half.
"I think we made him work. He had some easy buckets in the first half and got into a nice rhythm. I though we did a much better job of making him work in the second half."
Erik Spoelstra in the game overall:
"The Lakers set the tone for the game and we couldn't quite get over that hump from that first initial five-man burst that came out with a great deal of energy. Bryant set the tone. He was very efficient to start, very aggressive and from that point we were just playing catch-up the entire game."
