Microsoft Moves BizTalk 2013 Server Into Public Beta
Microsoft recently announced the availability of the beta version of BizTalk Server 2013.
Microsoft recently announced the availability of the beta version of BizTalk Server 2013.
As the company is inching closer to releasing this major new version, it said that it is now moving SFTP support, ESBT integration, better SharePoint integration, and dependency tracking in the BizTalk Admin console into public testing.
Microsoft Moves BizTalk 2013 Server Into Public BetaMicrosoft had released a community technology preview (CTP) of the software in August, but says that the beta is vastly more capable. Most notably, BizTalk Server 2013 beta comes, according to a blog post, with the following features:
- Integration with Cloud Services – BizTalk Server 2013 Beta includes new out-of-the box adapters to send and receive messages from Windows Azure Service Bus. It also provides capabilities to transfer messages to relay endpoints hosted on Azure.
- RESTful services – BizTalk Server 2013 Beta provides adapters to invoke REST endpoints as well as expose BizTalk Server artifacts as a RESTful service.
- Enhanced SharePoint adapter – Integrating with SharePoint using BizTalk Server 2013 Beta is now as simple as integrating with a file share. We have removed the need for dependency on SharePoint farms, while still providing backward compatibility.
- SFTP adapter – BizTalk Server 2013 Beta enables sending and receiving messages from an SFTP server.
- ESB Toolkit integration – With BizTalk Server 2013 Beta, ESB Toolkit is now fully integrated with BizTalk Server. Also, the ESB Toolkit configuration experience is vastly simplified to enable a quick setup.
- Dependency tracking - The dependencies between artifacts can now be viewed and navigated in Admin console
- Improvements in dynamic send ports – BizTalk Server 2013 Beta provides the ability to set host handler per adapter, instead of always using the default send handler of the adapters.
- XslCompiledTransform – BizTalk Server mapping engine makes use of XslTransform API for mapping needs. With BizTalk Server 2013 Beta release, the mapping engine makes use of the enhanced XslCompiledTransform API. This will provide improvements in mapping engine performance.
- Ordered Send Port improvements – With BizTalk Server 2013 release, we have made changes to the BizTalk runtime engine which increases the performance of ordered send port scenarios.
- BAM Alerts update – In previous releases of BizTalk Server, BAM Alerts feature had a dependency on SSNS (SQL Server Notification Services). With the current release of SQL Server (SQL Server 2012), SSNS is no longer available. However, we have made sure your existing BAM Alerts scenario work just the same even if your backend is targeting SQL Server 2012. If your backend is SQL Server 2008 R2, you will continue to require the dependency on SSNS.
Additionally, Microsoft added a new OLE DB provider for Informix and new Service for DB2 DRDA, a new transaction integrator runtime, new web configuration-based administration, as well as a new 3270 emulator and improved session integrator with direct TN3270 connectivity.
BizTalk Server 2013 beta supports Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 as well as Windows Server 2012 and is offered free of charge as a 495 MB download.

Herbarium: Roberta Poland's Deerfield Collection
Roberta G. Poland (1899-1989)
Deerfield Area Collections
Roberta Poland taught mathematics and physics at Deerfield Academy, Deerfield MA from 1943 until her retirement 1968. She was an active and dedicated botanist who worked and consulted with other botanists including Harry E. Ahles, Stuart K. Harris, Jerry C. Jenkins, Robert B. Livingston, Frank C. Seymour, Henry Svenson, and Peter F. Zika. She collected extensively, often in conjunction with field trips of regional botanical societies such as the Vermont Bird and Botanical Clubs, and the Josselyn Botanical Society. However, much of her botanical activity was focused on the flora of Deerfield which, accompanied by many friends, she studied, collected, and catalogued for over 40 years. Because she collected in the same area over such a long period of time, she was able to document both stability and changes in the flora. She noted that "Many plants that were here in the 50's have been wiped out by buildings, roads and other improvements.''
This catalogue is based on the specimens from the Deerfield area that were in her house at the time of her death. It includes specimens collected every year from 1944 to 1988; specimens that were to be the basis of a checklist for Deerfield. The numbered specimens were mounted and labeled and represented her best examples. However, she kept meticulous notes either in notebooks or on filing cards. These data along with information written on the newspaper sheets containing the specimens were used to generate labels for almost all the other specimens she had collected. This catalogue includes only specimens that were accessioned and retained at MASS. Duplicates from this collection were sent to BRIDW, CONN, NHA, and NEBC as well as some European herbaria. Names generally follow Gleason, H. A. and A. Cronquist, 1991, "Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada", 2nd edition. Her original names followed Fernald, M. L. 1950, "Gray's Manual of Botany", 8th edition.
The photograph is from the Deerfield Academy Archives.

Eastern Sierra not Eden
San Diego horse lover discovers bizarre crime
Ken Harrison 1:30 p.m., Oct. 22
"If anyone tries to sell it, I will certainly know about it," says uilleann-pipe player Tim Foley, whose instrument was stolen on September 6. "There's a lot of eyes and ears on the lookout there."
Foley, who plays for local Celtic fusion band Skelpin, had left his equipment in his car overnight rather than bring it inside a home in La Jolla where he was house-sitting. The next morning he found his car window smashed. A guitar amp and his pipes — which were in a "black, hard-shell, electric-guitar-looking case" — were taken. The thieves left behind his iPod, $1000 worth of microphones, and a Martin acoustic guitar. Foley isn't sure if he was targeted.
"I had just come from a show, so you never know," he says. "I'm thinking they thought they were stealing an electric guitar and didn't know what they actually took. My fear is that they tossed the pipes in a dumpster somewhere."
The loss hits harder than most thefts because of the relative rarity of the instrument.
"There's only 3 of us in San Diego that play," says Foley. "In Southern California, there might be close to 20 players." The musicians have banded together as the Uilleann Pipers Club of Southern California. He's hopeful that another member will be able to find him a used replacement set. While Skelpin continues to record a new album, Foley is using a borrowed chanter (the part of the pipes that makes the melody) from a fellow club member. To get a new set of pipes will cost approximately $5000 and a lot of patience.
"You have to contact a maker and arrange to have one made. Not only could it take nine months to get a set constructed, you might find yourself on a waiting list." According to Foley, the best makers can have a list ten years long.

Thank you everyone who came to my event the other day 😀 It was a lot of fun.
I think my performance for the reading was better than the first time, too.
Here are some short recordings of the reading! 😀
Check out The Avid Reader website here!
Barely a month has passed since the release of the second book in the Cycle of the Six Moons trilogy, An Eclipsing Autumn, and already I've jumped into the first of many edits for The Last Winter Moon.
Since April began, I put off opening the document containing book three for eleven whole days. I'm halfway through it as I write this post, and oh my gosh I can't wait to share it with everyone, but I wanted to take a moment to think about why I'm so terrified of completing it.
Continue reading "Why I'm Scared of Completing The Cycle of the Six Moons"
I'm an outliner. I daydream up a story while I'm lying in bed, unable to sleep 'cause I can't shut off my thoughts, and when I know that the thoughts in my head are definitely what I want to write, I write 'em down and make an outline. Then I get on to the actual story writing!
I thought it'd be a fun idea to go through my outline of The Starriest Summer and see what deviates from the actual book 😀 I only took screenshots of a few parts.
Check out this interview and promo post with Mandy at I Read Indie 😀
*What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author?
I think what took me the longest time to digest was when a friend told me that my writing was niche and wouldn't work in the mainstream market. I had been trying for years to snag an agent, and recently decided to self-publish my own work and send it on its way out into the world.
Gonna try something fun 😀 If you want a signed digital book cover, fill out this form!
Check out this interview and promo post with author Jess Watkins!
What was your favourite part of writing The Cycle of the Six Moons series?
I'm a bit of a sadist in my writing. I love writing my characters into crushing situations, and they're close to giving up, but their friends come around to pull them back to their feet and persevere, no matter how much it hurts.
Welp, if you couldn't tell from watching yesterday's video, the "cover reveal" for the third book in the Cycle of the Six Moons trilogy, The Last Winter Moon, was an April Fool's Joke.
HOWEVER, Gediyon's voice actor, John Archer, actually did create the above artwork. I got into a Skype call with him like I do when I direct him for the shorts, and he shared his screen, took the official artwork from The Starriest Summer and An Eclipsing Autumn, and created the above masterpiece in MS Paint. A few times I laughed, "Wow, this is aaaawful." The dimensions aren't even right X'D There's sooo much wrong with it.
Fret not, dear readers, as the actual artwork of The Cycle of the Six Moons: The Last Winter Moon will be done by Brandon Lacey, whose work you can check out here: http://blue-paint-sea.deviantart.com/ The book won't be released until late this year, so there's plenty of time to make it spiffy and beautiful 😉
If the video revealed anything, though, the third book cover will be purple. Hurrah!
Cover reveal for the third book in The Cycle of the Six Moons trilogy, The Last Winter Moon!

On the 6th of October, runners from all across London and beyond will converge in Hyde Park to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon. They will run through some of the most beautiful parks in London – Hyde Park, Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens – as well as passing the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, the Royal Albert Hall and even Buckingham Palace. One of the people running the Royal Parks Half Marathon is 29-year-old Emma Fenney.
Emma began training at the beginning of this year, and has participated in a couple of training races, races that she says "I never thought I'd touch with a barge pole". Emma was surprised to discover that she actually enjoyed the races and kept on training for the big one, the Royal Parks Half Marathon.
Training for any race has its perils, which Emma knows only too well after a run on Wimbledon Common. Midway through her run, Emma climbed over a fallen tree and was thrust up to her neck into what Emma described as a "marsh-come-bog" but has since reclassified as "quicksand".
Emma is doing this training and enduring these near-death-experiences to raise money for Womankind. Womankind, which was established in 1989, is a women's human rights charity. Its aim is to help women in Africa, Asia and Latin America challenge discrimination and violence, and in its 24 year history, has touched the lives of 12 million women and their families.

Grayrigg inquest: Engineer 'forgot' to inspect track
A Network Rail engineer broke down in tears as he told an inquest he forgot to inspect the points which caused the Grayrigg train crash in Cumbria.
Maintenance manager David Lewis said he was "under pressure" when he failed to patrol a section of the West Coast Main Line five days before the crash.
He told the hearing at Kendal he felt like a man "spinning plates on sticks".
Margaret Masson, 84, from Glasgow, a passenger on the Virgin Pendolino which left the track in 2007, was killed.
The hearing was told how the day after the February crash, Mr Lewis told his manager that the failure to patrol the stretch of line was "down to me, it was my responsibility".
The inquest jury also heard how Mr Lewis and his team were "under staffed" and "under pressure" and their work was "not entirely compliant".
Colleague Paul Wills, an assistant track section manager for Network Rail, told the inquest staff had to put up with "bully-boy" management.
He said workers had been harassed while carrying out inspections of the track in Cumbria and a backlog of maintenance work had piled-up due to lack of time.
Mr Wills said it was part of his job to take work gangs to inspect the track on Sunday mornings.
But this meant no trains could pass that part of the line while the inspections were under way, so his workers were under constant pressure to get off the track.
A statement given by Mr Wills following the crash was read to the inquest jury.
In it he said "Prior to the derailment there was a lot of bully-boy tactics. It is easier to come to work now but it is not easier to do the work."
Mrs Masson died and 88 people were injured when the train was derailed two seconds after travelling over the points at more than 90mph at 20:11 GMT on 23 February.
Earlier the inquest was told how Mr Lewis sent an email to his bosses one year before the crash, in which he described the inspection system as a "shambles".
Mr Lewis said in his email: "It's time for the hierarchy to stop ducking the issue and sort this shambles out once and for all... ensuring the infrastructure is now safe and fit for purpose is now virtually impossible."
The hearing continues.

Since October 1981, when I introduced the first legislation to reduce acid rain in the eastern half of the US by reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide in that region, the weight of scientific evidence has become sufficient to produce broad agreement that the problem is real and serious and requires immediate action. That's good news. The Reagan administration, reversing its previous reluctance to move on the problem, seems about to announce a proposal of its own. That in itself would also be good news - though, if early news reports are accurate, it would fall far short of what's needed.
But misinterpretations and misunderstandings about the nature of acid rain and what to do about it remain widespread. They need to be cleared away so as not to hinder and weaken our ability to meet the problem fully and fairly.
* Geography and sources. Certainly, proximity of affected areas to sources of sulfur dioxide is a factor in the amount of acid rain they receive. Yet rainfall with 10 times or more acid than normal falls in 31 eastern states - in many lakes and streams all along the Appalachians, across much of the South, in the Ozarks, and in the upper Midwest. The coal-burning states of the Midwest are a hub closely rimmed by these sensitive areas. A ton of sulfur cut from smokestack emissions in New England has almost no effect outside that area. But a ton cut from a Midwest stack will reduce deposition in all surrounding areas.
New York and New England are responsible for about 7 percent of sulfur emissions in the eastern half of this country. The nine major coal-burning Midwest states contribute nearly two-thirds, mostly through tall utility stacks. Per ton emitted, Midwest sources may have a smaller effect on acid rain in New England than New England sources do, but they emit so much more sulfur that they dominate as an acid rain source. The central contributing role of the heavy coal-burning states is therefore crucial in solving what is a regional - eastern United States - problem. A recent National Academy of Sciences report notes that a specific source cannot be tied to acid rain in a specific area. It likewise indicates that the 50 percent acid rain reduction it calls for is beyond reach anywhere without participation of all significant-source states. That's also why any fair solution will involve reductions not only in the Midwest but also in those Northeastern states with a sizable contribution to the present situation. For example, if utility emissions alone were cut, New York's reductions under my bill would exceed 40 percent.
* Solutions and costs. My legislation, for one, simply requires a reduction in sulfur emissions (10 million tons over 10 years in a 31-state area), leaving it to the states and industries affected to choose the means of achieving it. Two basic methods are available. A utility could install scrubbers, which remove sulfur after coal is burned; that is expensive and would increase electric power rates. Or a utility could switch from high-sulfur coal. These two methods are, of course, mutually exclusive at any one plant: Use of scrubbers makes a switch to low-sulfur coal unnecessary, and vice versa.
When the utility industry looks at cost, it regularly assumes that compliance with eventual abatement laws would occur through installation of scrubbers, thereby causing a maximum increase in utility rates. Just as regularly, the coal industry assumes compliance would come through coal switching, with a maximum loss of jobs in high-sulfur coal-mining areas. And spokesmen for both industries sometimes add these two adverse effects to conjure up a worst-case scenario that simply cannot occur. In such ways is the economic impact of meaningful solutions exaggerated.
Electricity rates in the Northeast are in any case already much higher than in the Midwest due partly to the anti-pollution use of low-sulfur fuels. Fuel costs average two or three times higher for New York than for Midwest utilities; sulfur emissions per unit of energy produced in New York are two to three times lower. Total emissions in the Northeast have fallen 40 percent in 20 years.
Coal-burning Midwest states are now the most cost-effective locus for sulfur dioxide reductions. The Congressional Office of Technology Assessment reports that an annual 50 percent utility emissions cut confined to New England would raise some electricity rates there by up to 8 percent while reducing sulfur emissions by 400,000 tons. In Indiana alone, the report says, the same reductions and resulting rate increases would remove 700,000 tons.
No sensible person will argue that dealing effectively with acid rain is not going to cost all of us some money (just as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts do). The fairest and most efficient solution will take into account the proportionally greater contribution of large-source states to the regional acid rain problem and require some further reductions in the Northeast. Meanwhile, it is costing the country more to do nothing about the problem than to solve it.
Now that basic agreement exists about the need for prompt action on acid rain , eliminating the remaining erroneous perceptions about solutions is the next important step in eliminating the problem itself.

First Win Over Oxy in Six Years
Chapman fell behind 6-0 on Occidental's first drive of the game and trailed 13-7 with 8:22 remaining in the second quarter. Then senior WR Chris Langstaff took over, scoring on an 85-yard punt return and an 84-yard reception to give Chapman the lead at 21-13. Occidental did retake the lead in the third quarter 24-21 after a field goal and a touchdown. Freshman WR Michael Lahey then led the Panthers on an eight-play, 80-yard drive at the end of the third quarter for what would be the game winning score. Chapman last beat Occidental in 2004, snapping a five-game losing streak. The Panthers are 6-7 vs. Occidental all-time.
Big on Third Down
Chapman has converted 42 percent of its third downs this season ranking the team 66th nationally. On two of the Panthers' three scoring drives on Saturday, the team converted crucial third downs which led to two touchdowns.
Defense Comes Up Big
The Panthers' defense came up big against Oxy forcing five punts, a turnover on downs and a fumble. The biggest stop of the game came late in the fourth quarter on a 4th-and-4 on Chapman's 9 yard line. Down 28-24, Oxy went for it on fourth down, attempting a screen pass only to be turned away as senior DB Jake Fey made the stop giving the ball back to Chapman. Freshman DB Anthony Ferraro led the team with a career-high 10 tackles, six solo.
A Broken Record
Maybe it sounds like a broken record but Langstaff has had an impressive two-game run, highlighted by his game against Occidental last week where he had 11 catches for 171 yards and a record-setting 85-yard punt return for a touchdown. The previous punt return record was 65 yards set back in 1995 by Oscar Ford. For his efforts against Oxy, Langstaff was named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week. Langstaff currently ranks 40th nationally in receptions per game (6.29) and 55th in receiving yards per game (86.14).
Passing Success vs. Oxy Over the Years
Chapman receivers have had 12 games all-time with over 150 yards receiving in a game and four of the top seven games have come against Occidental, including Langstaff's 171 yards on Saturday. Dan Delahoussaye is the last Chapman player to have over 150 yards receiving in a game and he also accomplished the feat against Occidental with 190 yards.
Adranly Remains Top-5 in Punting
Junior P Jimmy Adranly continues to stay in the top-five nationally, averaging 42.9 yards per punt, currently at the No. 5 spot in the Division III rankings. Adranly punted four times last week against Oxy with a long punt of 44 yards, pinning one punt inside the 10-yard line. As a team, Chapman ranks No. 12 in the nation in net punting, moving up two spots from last week.
Defensive Leaders
Heading into the final two games of the season, the Panthers have a close race for who will lead the team in tackles in 2010. Currently, just one tackle separates Fey (53 tackles, 42 solo) from junior LB Erick Mueller (52 tackles, 25 solo). Senior FS Jon Loynes is right behind them (50 tackles, 32 solo) and sophomore LB Kellen Matsuno (48 tackles, 31 solo) is just five off the pace.
Home Field Advantage
Chapman finished its 2010 home schedule with a 3-1 record marking the team's first winning record at Chapman Stadium since going 4-1 in 2007. Chapman was 2-3 in Orange last year and 2-2 in 2008. The Panthers are 42-35 all-time at home.
Running and Rolling
The Panthers have had 100 yards or more rushing in each of the last six games. Chapman had a streak of 29-consecutive 100-yard rushing games from 1994-1997. The Panthers had 146 yards on 33 carries against Oxy. Chapman has totaled 986 rushing yards on the season while averaging 4.4 yards per carry. Of the team's 24 offensive touchdowns, 13 have come on the ground. Chapman has used a variety of running backs this season due to injuries and each time a new player has stepped up. On Saturday freshman RB Ed Harris filled the role nicely with 95 yards rushing and a TD.
Chapman vs. Cal Lutheran
Cal Lutheran holds a 10-5 all-time edge in the series including wins in the last two games. Chapman last won 44-30 in 2007 at home. Last season Chapman lost 49-13 as Kingsmen running back Brian Stuart had 165 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
Cal Lutheran in 2010
The Kingsmen are 6-1 and ranked No. 20 in both the D3football.com and AFCA Top-25 polls. Their lone loss came to Pacific Lutheran who is also ranked. The Kingsmen rely on a potent, but very balanced offense which averages 385 yards per game (217 passing ypg, 167 rushing ypg) and 35 points. Defensively, the Kingsmen like to apply some pressure led by senior DE Jordan Barta who is seventh in Division III with 8.5 sacks.

ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah — Park ranger David Eaker walks through a field thick with grass as tall as his waist and deceptive in its greenery.
Don't think for a minute, he says, that the drought is over and the risk of fire has decreased in the West.
Spring rains here and elsewhere have nourished fresh growth, belying the continuing, deep effects of the drought. For the last three years, Zion has been too dry even for grass, and now long-dormant grass seeds have sprouted across meadows and mesas.
"But this will all be brown by late June or early July," Eaker said, "and when it dries out, it will be nothing but fine fuel."

Kokopax Backpack Baby Carrier
Krazy For Kokopax Carrier!
My weekly trip to the grocery store can be harried with a two-year-old and an infant, but if I can put one of them on my back then life is easier. When Kokopax sent us a backpack to review, I jumped at the opportunity to test it out and lighten my load. A fan of the classic Baby Bjorn, I wasn't sure that Kokopax would make chores any simpler than the front baby carrier. Certainly the Bjorn and other models like it allow for closeness and warmth, but the Kokopax gives mom the freedom to hold a full load in her arms while baby sits pretty behind her.
Read more to see what I like about it and what I would change. Aside from loving the cheerful floral print, the cushy cotton canvas seat offers a five-point harness that keeps baby snugly strapped in. The padded straps and waistband are soft on mama's shoulders, though carrying a 20-pound baby will start to take a toll no matter how well a carrier is manufactured. The lightweight aluminum frame hardly adds much weight (total weight is 2.7 pounds) and folds out, making it a cinch to strap baby up and set baby down.
If the tot bores easily, the creators attached a ring for detachable toys and a pocket to store other necessary items. Perfect for vacations and jaunts through an airport, the nifty carrier fits in airplane overheads! I'm leaving my stroller at the ticket counter from now on. Kokopax can handle children up to 35 pounds or two years old. Here are two things I would change about the carrier. The hefty price is hard to swallow if you aren't planning on using it much. Though, I also feel like a chest strap or a waist buckle would add to the wearer's sense of security as their tot grows older and more rambunctious.

By RAJESH SINGH
On Being a Rolling Stone
It is said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. For decades since this sagacious statement came to be known, and even before, the stone that rolls has commanded little respect in a society which loathes movement, more so of the kind that compels its to think, and worse, rethink its own perceptions and attitudes. And, this society, largely of course made up of self-appointed definers and analysts of success, refuses to appreciate (a more charitable opinion would be that it is incapable of doing so) the stark truth – that a rolling stone has dynamism; it is symbolic of that eternal, immortal being called Time. Because, if there is anything that you ca accurately pin upon time, it is a constant movement. It is that quality that gives it an elusive and romantic image.
At a less profound level, a rolling stone is considered a symbol of instability, of immaturity, of failure. If you wish a damn a person who has not conformed to the social contract on stability – in career, marriage, personal conduct… whatever, call him a
Rolling Stone. He gets effectively black-listed. Whatever else the poor man does thereafter, he will have to constantly either live in the shadows of the indictment or expend considerable energy in refuting the charge, by engaging himself in pursuits that could potentially, if only partially, restore the lost credibility. Much of the human race is currently involved in this epic exercise.
Since one lives among persons who are prone to draw quick conclusions (this has nothing to do with any effective decision-making ability that one may suspect they possess), I must hasten to clarify before I proceed any further that I am not an advocate of multiple marriages or a personal conduct that reflects the Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. No sir, all that I endeavour to say is that, simply because one fails in a marriage or two, or that one quits a job a little too often, it does not necessarily point to some inherent defect in oneself. A quest for meaningful living, for a life-partner who is better able to relate to one's aspirations and indeed acts as a catalyst in one's creative growth, is not a sin. It cannot be assumed that such an objective gets attended to in the first attempt. A creative person is necessarily restless, though the inverse is not always true. He is the Rolling Stone that needs to gather no moss, because this moss is a derailed society's deranged contribution.
The world would have been a poorer place to live in but for the wanderers. Imagine if Christopher Columbus had been content living life in his home town and never dared to venture out in search of new lands. Or that Galileo had not challenged established concepts about the universe. Purists may argue that it is stretching imagination too much to equate Galileo with a rolling stone, but the fact is that a Rolling Stone is essentially a euphemism for one who dares established norms and traditions – not for the mere sake of doing so, but because he has seen greater good elsewhere. The genius of Oliver Goldsmith was entangled in his personal lifestyle which was horrifying for most people, more so the traditionalists. He was truly a Rolling Stone who lived life on his own terms, even if that meant penury and loss of some personal 'dignity.' The great Urdu poet, Mirza Ghalib is another example. He never settled down to a 'respectable' profession. Instead, he gambled and wrote poetry. He died in poverty, but will live on as long as literature lives on earth.
To be poor and a rolling stone, is such a convenient combination to understand for a system that places undue emphasis on material well-being as an indispensable ingredient to 'stability,' or to the theory that, if you are not fiscally well-off, it is because you area rolling stone. The moss (that a rolling stone does not gather) her acquires a sharper meaning – it means wealth. The Rolling Stone, therefore, has to suffer humiliation. And, who cares if you are full of the most creative ideas but have a light pocket!
The intellectual and creative person is respected, true, but more if he is financially robust. Otherwise, he is merely tolerated, declared a good man gone wayward. Such a person may command sympathy now and then, but on the whole he becomes a subject of ridicule. He can provide the most expansive arguments and the greatest thoughts, but if his pockets do not jingle, he is left stranded. A mere clerk in a government office is looked upon more respectfully than an accomplished writer who struggles to make both ends meet. The clerk neither employs any intellect to his job nor is called upon to do so. With his 'side income', though, he buys az beautiful house for his family. Society has great regard for him despite the fact that his source of income is no hidden secret. The advocate who is no more than a broker, who earns a dubious income from his networking, has a higher position in society than the humble scientist who labours in his laboratory on a meager salary, hoping to leave behind work that benefits mankind for generations to come.
We live in a system that is materialist to the extreme. It respects creativity if creativity fetches money. It abhors creativity when creativity demands that you shed your degenerative reasoning and stand apart from the crowd. It requires courage to demonstrate one's separateness in a herd. You should not laugh simply because others are engaged in doing so; you must not lament because others around you do so. The Unknown Citizen of Auden never became a hero though he was just the perfect model citizen of the State, since he conformed to everything that was expected of a spineless identity. He was not a rolling stone that brims with fresh ideas and actions (all insane, according to most others).
The problem is: there are too many Unknown Citizens in our midst. They are in a brute majority. Just as history is written by the victors, social norms are formulated – and accepted as the truth – by these Unknown Citizens. In this worthy task, they have the full support of the State that detests questions of the uncomfortable kind. They have a system that does not easily digest fresh food for thought, yet is in perfect order when having to stomach assembly line edibles. Together, the 'materialism only' club has helped atrophy the mental growth of mankind itself. But then, if this Group is so very powerful, why is it then reluctant to even admit, let alone accept, the opinion of the creative mind? The answer, simply, is: because it feels threatened by the sheer energy that moral strength can generate.
Finally, I fail to understand why the gathering of moss is considered so very essential to be a good stable stone! By its very nature, moss is a rather slippery thing that can do no good to any one who steps on it. It tends to form at points of stagnation. In effect, we ought to look more nobly at a rolling stone precisely because it gathers no moss.

'I see how it is,' he then said, forcing himself to laugh and pushing up his wig; 'evidently the little voice that said Oh! oh! was all my imagination! Let us set to work again.'
But as all the same he was in a great fright, he tried to sing to give himself a little courage.
Putting the axe aside he took his plane, to plane and polish the bit of wood; but whilst he was running it up and down he heard the same little voice say, laughing:
'Have done! you are tickling me all over!'
This time poor Master Cherry fell down as if he had been struck by lightning. When he at last opened his eyes he found himself seated on the floor.
His face was quite changed, even the end of his nose, instead of being crimson, as it was nearly always, had become blue from fright.

Sometimes a baby doesn't arrive on their due date. Usually, actually. Well, New Way Church will not be launching on February 13th, but on February 27th, instead.
We had a meeting at my house on Saturday to discuss how things have been going and to look at our upcoming launch date. After hearing a lot of great input and a wide range of opinions, I told the group assembled there that I would take it all into consideration, and spend today (Sunday) in reflection and in prayer. And in the end, my instincts, my reason, all the data, the various oddities of the calendar, and my sense of the Lord's leading all are in agreement: it is better to delay our launch, but by only two weeks.
In addition to moving the launch from the 13th to the 27th, we are adding two more unadvertised worship gatherings. So while we are only adding a little time, we are adding a great deal more "practice time".
So our schedule going forward is to have worship gatherings on the following Sundays:
January 16
February 13
February 20
February 27 (LAUNCH!)
What does this do for us? Well, it gives us a little more time to nail down everything we do on Sunday. How we've been going so far works for the size we are, but once we start advertising we will need to be ready to handle larger crowds, and there are a couple of areas we still need to tighten up.
I am completely confident that this adjusted timeline is just what we need to be successful. And I am rock solid in my confidence that the Lord will make great things happen, no matter what schedule we follow, provided we move forward in love for one another and for our neighbors, and put the kingdom of God ahead of our concerns for the material aspects of launching a church.
Thank you all for being a part of the New Way. Have a great week.
I hope to see you at Austin Uptown Dance (8868 Research Blvd) for worship this Sunday (1/16) at 10 a.m. Come as you are, and bring a friend!

Samir Chopra is an Associate Professor of Computer and Information Science at the City University of New York (CUNY), Brooklyn. He has a Master's degree in Computer Science and a Doctorate in Philosophy and is interested in the intersection of politics and technology – specifically information technology.
Samir and I share more than our interest in Open Source (or Free Software as Samir prefers to call it!). Our fathers trained as Air Force pilots in the Indian Air Force in their teens and knew each other very well. In fact Samir (being the renaissance man that he is) has co-authored one of the most successful books on Indian Air Force history "The India-Pakistan Air War of 1965". We contribute to an "open source" site on Indian armed forces history – you can read one of my articles (shameless plug!) on air war history here.
Samir is a Free Software proponent and recently he was invited to the Microsoft Technical Summit to exchange ideas with a wide audience from both within Microsoft and from all around the globe. I jumped at the opportunity to interview him about his forthcoming book "Decoding Liberation" and to debate with him our views of how software would evolve.
Samir's site is http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~schopra/ (his co-author, Scott Dexter's site is http://www.sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~sdexter) and he writes a blog on Free Software which has the same title as his book.
An introduction to the book is here.
Routledge has also given us permission to post the first chapter of this book which is available now for pre-order.

Government and the opposition seem set on another collision over whether Home Minister Clement Rohee may be allowed to address the National Assembly, with Speaker Raphael Trotman awaiting legal advice on acting Chief Justice Ian Chang's ruling on the matter.
The main opposition APNU yesterday claimed legal victory in the wake of Chang's decision last Friday, saying Rohee cannot speak in his substantive role as minister, however, the final decision rests with Trotman.
"Mr Rohee has no right or privilege to speak in the National Assembly as Minister of Home Affairs and Mr Rohee has a right or privilege to speak as a member of the National Assembly," APNU Shadow Attorney General Basil Williams maintained as he read from a press statement at a news conference yesterday.
APNU leader David Granger has tabled a motion to gag Rohee in the House and Trotman had referred it to Privileges Committee while in the interim restricting the minister's participation in the National Assembly. Trotman's decision was subsequently the subject of a court challenge by Attorney General Anil Nandlall,
In an interim ruling, Justice Chang found that Rohee as an elected member has a right to speak in the National Assembly but signalled that it does not appear to be enforceable by the court.
"…it is the view of this court that Mr Rohee's right to speak in the National Assembly derives from his office as a member of the National Assembly and not from his office as an executive minister. This, his right as an elected member of the National Assembly must be concomitant with his constitutional duty to speak for and to represent his electors in the National Assembly who, in turn, have a concomitant right to be represented," Chang held.
APNU yesterday reiterated its stance that it will not allow Rohee to speak in the National Assembly in his capacity as minister, while adding that if another minister wants to speak on matters on his behalf it was up to Trotman to allow it. "The Speaker will determine whether or not that is appropriate. It is the Speaker's prerogative to determine whether or not that is appropriate," APNU member Lance Carberry said in response to a question about the situation.
Affirming the coalition's stance, Williams added: "Mr Rohee is prevented by the rules as long as he purports. Any other decision is in the hands of the Speaker of the National Assembly."
However, Nandlall yesterday said he believed APNU is using parts of the ruling to justify its position and not reading and interpreting the ruling holistically before publicly articulating its views. "Clearly this is a piece of the judgment that has been pulled out. The judgment must be read as a whole and portions of it ought not to be excised and quoted conveniently to suit an interpretation which coincides with the political position of one side or the other," he said of APNU's quotations on the judgment.
"The Chief Justice, in very clear language, ruled that as an elected member of the National Assembly Minister Rohee has the right to bring bills and had the right to bring motions. Therefore, that he is a minister of the government sitting in the National Assembly is immaterial," he added.
"That his right to speak is founded upon the fact that he is elected to the National Assembly by the electorate and that the electorate has a corresponding reciprocating right to have him speak on their behalf," he added.
Nandlall said the matter now is with Trotman and he was confident that he will do what is right. "The Speaker will have to determine whether he will follow the clear pronouncement of the court or he will allow himself to be manipulated by the APNU's jaundiced political interpretation of the ruling," he further said.
Trotman, saying he would be seeking legal advice on the ruling, has refrained from definitively speaking on it. "I did say in a letter to the Leader of the Opposition that I would put a halt to what I was doing until the [ruling from the court came]," Trotman told this newspaper. "I did not consider any order from the High Court to be binding on me. [However], I would have to speak to my lawyers [on the ruling]," he added.
The Speaker has said that he is of the firm opinion that the National Assembly is the sole authority to develop and apply its own methods and procedures, "and these shall not be overruled by any other authority."
He had noted that the High Court, as one of the critical and established parts of the triumvirate that comprises the organs of state, "has the duty, as guardian of our Constitution, to give interpretations in times of grave constitutional confusion. This role as interpreter is vastly different from the role of referee, or combatant, that some seem to want it to play."

A little tougher but still great skiing!
02 March 2017
Another 15 to 20cm's fell last night and the lifts opened bang on time. I was in the first lift up the Olympique and opened with the Face du Bellevarde again, but after three straight days my legs were shot by the time we got to the bottom! It was great skiing again today but conditions were tougher as the vis wasn't as good and it was much warmer. We skied off the Epaule du Charvet around 9:20 this morning and it was much warmer than it was yesterday at 11:15! That made me think that the Arcelle would be difficult and less safe than yesterday, especially with the poor visibility, and that heading upstairs to colder snow at the Fornet would be a good idea. Unfortunately not much was open and our options were limited but we had a couple of excellent runs in the Lower Combe du Signal, followed by a Lower Grand Vallon and a Super L to finish. Chris and Andreas were also in the neighbourhood and it was great to have Thomas back in action today.Andreas and Victor both had their first hockey matches last night and they had a wonderful time as Tansy and Ness cheered them on. Both of them scored hat tricks as Andreas' team won 20-18 and I'm not too sure about Victor's score. Tansy says that Victor has a brilliant 'goal celebration' where he slides along the ice on his knees with his arms held up high and wide as he looks towards the heavens. Now that's a proper goal celebration! Fantastic Victor!
The forecast calls for better vis tomorrow and I'm hoping they keep the Signal and Pissaillas Glacier closed this afternoon. There was some stunning snow in the Lower Combe this morning and I'd love to be on the first drag tomorrow with the Grand Vallon and Combe clean. Fingers crossed on that one and stay tuned!
PS While traversing into the Lower Grand Vallon Chris had a pack of helmeted Vikings with air-bags and huge fat skis cut above him and cut some snow down onto one of his clients. Apparently Alain Prince was there and had a real go at them. Merci Alain!
PPS And happy birthday Mom!!
PPPS I've just waxed my skis on the terrace for the first time this season. Chris waxes his and Suzanne's regularly and he flies by me on the flats, and waxed skis pivot so much easier. And it was nice to have a new 'Alpine' skier Toby along this morning, he's a top chap and a solid skier!

2-3 chicken breasts, boiled or roasted, then shredded (or you can place raw chicken breasts in the pot while soup is simmering, and allow to fully cook)
8 cups chicken broth (low sodium is a good option)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 large carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 1/2 cups dried egg noodles
2 tbsp. fresh or dried parsley
salt and pepper, to your taste
Saute onion with salt and pepper over medium heat with a small amount of oil in a deep pot. When onion is translucent, add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
Add chicken broth, chicken, and bay leaf, and bring to a rolling boil. (If you put the chicken in raw, be sure to let boil until chicken is cooked through.) Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for pretty much as long as you'd like. Bring soup back up to a boil before adding carrots and celery, and simmer covered for about 5 minutes, until veggies are tender.
Stir in noodles. Simmer, covered, for about 5 minutes or until noodles are tender but firm. Stir in parsley to garnish. Enjoy!

Working on the Coffee Line
- Details
- Sunday, September 16, 2012
- Ann Garuti and Eric Clark
With the long-running Republican Party primaries finally winding down, it looks like millionaire front-runner Mitt Romney will face President Obama in the November elections. Not surprisingly, the topic that will likely dominate the elections is the economy. One area where Obama and Romney have already begun debating is over the auto industry. But are the two parties' policies really that different?
A new piece of anti-union legislation was introduced in Utah in January by Republican Rep. Keith Grover. HB106, formally named "Limitation on Collective Bargaining," seeks to prohibit the collective bargaining rights of state and local government employees. Over the last year we have seen a number of attacks on the right of the American working class to collectively bargain.
The information that has leaked regarding the NYPD and CIA's secret monitoring of Muslim stores, student organizations, and mosques in New Jersey, New York, and Long Island has elicited feelings of outrage. The NYPD has even recorded conversations between Muslim individuals, making extensive reports of the activities of Muslim-related stores, businesses and organizations, and closely observed the operations of these groups/establishments. All of these covert operations are being conducted unbeknownst to the "subjects" of observation and without their consent.
Public sector workers in New York State and City continue to be attacked by Governor Cuomo and Mayor "1%" Bloomberg. These attacks are part of a nationwide effort, in fact, as part of an international strategy, to make the workers both in the public and private sector pay for the continuing crisis of capitalism. The working class can stop these attacks and go on to the offensive, but for this to happen we need a different policy from the labor leaders.

Kolkata: When it comes to managing their election campaigns, candidates for the Assembly election in West Bengal are turning to their sons and daughters for help.
Working like backroom boys, Sohini Chatterjee, daughter of state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee and Puja Panja, daughter of state Women and Child Development Minister Shashi Panja help their parents in managing the election campaigns.
Shreya Pande, an actress and daughter of state Consumer Affairs Minister Sadhan Pande, Rohan Mitra, son of state Congress leader and candidate from Chowringhee constituency Somen Mitra, and Russel, son of senior CPI(M) leader and MP Mohammed Salim, also lending a hand.
Some of them are IT professionals, some are bankers, some actors and some still in colleges.
"I am helping my father manage his digital profile for the last one year. Whether it is posting an update or uploading a video of developmental work in the social media, I am doing it meticulously. I take care of my father's social media campaigning," Sohini Chatterjee, an IT professional, she said.
Sohini, however, nurses no ambition of joining active politics, at least for the time being. Sohini and Puja had cut their teeth on micro-managing election campaigns in 2011 when the Trinamool Congress stormed to power tearing down the 34-year-old Left citadel in West Bengal. Sohini said it was she who had first suggested opening a Facebook account for her father, Partha Chatterjee, who is contesting from Behala Paschim Assembly constituency and is a three-time MLA from there.
Partha Chatterjee said, "My daughter helps me in a lot of ways like taking care of social media campaigning. Even when there are no elections, she helps with implementation of development work in my constituency." Rohan Mitra, a former executive in a multinational company, is helping his father, Somen Mitra, in his election campaigning since 2014. Although, Rohan is yet to formally step in active politics, he is quite popular among youth Congress workers. "I am trying to mobilise youth Congress workers and training them on using social media effectively. I am also playing my bit in planning campaigns etc," Rohan said.
Actress Shreya Pande, who has been a part of her father's campaign management in the last several elections, is also helping friend and co-star Soham Chakraborty, who is fighting on a TMC ticket from Borjola constituency in Bankura, to canvass support.
"When I was three years old, my father took me along with him on his many campaign visits. Whether it is filing of nomination papers or other tasks, I am an integral part of it all," Pande said. Pande is a regular in various rallies and meetings of the TMC which are well attended by cine stars in Bengal. "We are requesting people to cast their votes in favour of the Trinamool Congress to continue the development work started by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee," Shreya said.
Puja, apart from taking care of the campaigning in the social network sites, is also busy preparing her mother's election speeches. Russel, son of Mohammed Salim, is working with the IT team of the CPM in the social media campaigning. Congress candidate Arunava Ghosh's daughter Atreya is also busy helping her father in campaigning.

Chicago auto insurance laws have been highlighted to provide protection to all drivers. The authority pays attention on the enforcement of auto insurance in a very strict way. If someone is found driving on the road without proper auto insurance then he is considered a violator. You must have full insurance coverage and the proof of ownership while you are driving.
Chicago insurance laws state a minimum coverage for all road vehicles. It includes about $25000 for any serious wound of the driver, $50000 for death of more than one person and $10000 for any damage to any property. Drivers should have more than the required coverage because sometimes an accident occurs and the insurance account may be zeroed out thus financial protection is limited resulting to potential losses.
In Chicago all the drivers have to show the insurance proof when asked for it. There are lot of ways of showing the proof such as insurance card, proof of vehicle purchase and certificate of cash bond among others. There are some situations wherein you will be asked to provide the insurance proof. Police will stop you and may ask you to show some proof of car insurance. Moreover if you encounter an accident the police will ask the same question and if you register a particular vehicle the same question will be asked.
If you do not have any proof of insurance then the vehicle registration can be suspended and once it happens then you have to pay for the reinstatement fee. It costs around $250-300 and may change. The registration of the vehicle can be suspended for around 4 months and you are obliged to show the insurance proof within 4 months. Moreover car insurance in Chicago can also charge you an added fee of $1000 for other penalties not mentioned. Your driving license can be cancelled for about 3 or 6 months if you commit the same mistake for the second time..
As the Chicago insurance laws are very strict, you cannot drive without insurance. You do not just face fines or penalties but you also have to pay all the recovery costs if your insurance has some errors. You have to meet the medical requisites as well and also possible property damage expenses caused by you along with the safety of other parties involved in the accident. With this, you have to pay a heavy amount of money. You should cooperate with the authorities and follow auto insurance laws in Chicago.

Common bowel problems include celiac disease, diverticulitis, intestinal obstruction, structural abnormalities of the bowel and inflammatory bowel disease. Other bowel problems are infections, irritable bowel syndrome and tumors, according to Healthgrades.
Bowel problems are associated with frequent need to rush to the toilet, being unable to pass stools, leaking stool when passing wind and painful bowel motion, notes Age UK. Problems during fetal development in the womb, intussusception and failed intestinal surgery may cause bowel problems. Although bowel problems are usually not an emergency, prolonged symptoms such as persistent diarrhea, vomiting blood, or an inability to pass stools or gas require urgent medical care, according to Healthgrades.
