Ave Maria
A classical representation of "Ave Maria" originally adapted by Gounod from Bach, Ave Maria is a popular and much-recorded setting of the Latin text Ave Maria, originally published in 1853 as Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach. The melody is performed on the flute, french horn and clarinet, with added celeste and double bass pizzicato alongside the VSL Vienna Imperial Bosendorfer Piano.
The piece consists of a melody by the French Romantic composer Charles Gounod especially designed to be superimposed over the Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from Book I of J.S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, written some 137 years earlier.
This piece is ideal for commercials, films, reflective sequences, TV work, advertising, podcasts, internet work and theatre.

People say that
redheads have a temper and are quite spirited. I'm all the proof you will
need for that statement. I'm temperamental and spunky. I fly off at
the handle and my words tend to bite into you when I'm mad. I try to be
sweet and sometimes it works. I tell people just don't make me mad and
everything will be okay. I'm fiery, stubborn and contrary. I want things
my way and when it doesn't work out that way I get upset. I'm not
unrealistic because I know life isn't perfect... BUT... I am. So,
shouldn't I be allowed to act how I want and get the things I enjoy out of
I think so.
I'm wild. You never
know what I will say or do.
I know you want to
run your hands through my unruly wild red hair. Go on.. do it.. and give
it a good pull to make me moan out loud and send little shivers through my
body. Right now I want a screaming orgasm from you. Can you take control
of this wild firecracker and set her off? I'd be interested to know if you
can and how you would do it.

A great philosopher once said, "Let's get one thing straight. I'm a land-based mammal. You're a land-based mammal. We're all land-based mammals. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking otherwise. We walk on two feet. We don't have fins, flippers or gills. None of us lives like a fish."
Yes, that philosopher was me. It was shortly after Sherill and I had gone deep sea fishing on our honeymoon about a year ago. My experience on the water wasn't so great that time ("Go fish"). Some changes were made, and I gave it another shot, though. That one worked out much better ("Back on the horse again").
Sherill loves to fish, so another trip to Florida was made this winter. Another fishing expedition was also made. Multiple seasickness bracelets were worn by yours truly to keep me gastronomically stable.
Guess what. Wearing two seasickness bracelets on each wrist did almost nothing for me. We made our way from the dock to the open water and I felt fine. The weather was outstanding this time. The water wasn't too rough, but it wasn't completely placid, either. I had hoped to have an experience similar to my second one last year, what with my bountiful supply of seasickness jewelry.
But within about two minutes after the anchor was dropped, I had pretty much hit Rewind all the way back to my first deep sea fishing trip. The boat was going up and down at a steady pace. My stomach was sloshing right along with it . . . against the grain. This time, I didn't even kid myself into holding onto a fishing pole. I just gave up and sat on the bench outside the cabin. Something told me I'd have to find my way to the side rail at some point, so why bother sitting inside the cabin? If they'd had a maître d' on the boat when we boarded, I'd have asked for a seat in the "hurling express" section. Cuts down on the commute to the side of the boat.
About an hour into our trip, the rest of the group was having a ton of fun. The fishing was pretty good. Sherill stepped over at one point to show me a grouper she had caught. They were out of season, so she had to toss it back. Even so, it was a pretty decent-looking catch, I thought, for the few seconds I was able to keep my eyes opened and focused.
By the time our four-hour tour was over, everyone had caught quite a few fish. We got back to dry land, and the crew filleted the fish. My stomach was still not doing very well, so I chose not to document any of that part of the trip. I wanted the day to be over, with no memories physically preserved.
Sherill, on the other hand, was having a blast. She and the guy running the place were having a discussion about the other charter boat option for the next day. It was a smaller craft than the "party boat" we'd gone on for our trip. The rather sizeable guy in charge (I'll call him Captain Tiny) likes to have six to eight paying customers on board to send it out for the day. They don't mess around with a little four-hour jaunt, though. For big fish and big fun, they go for a full day, typically eight to 10 hours. They also go for bigger and more playful fish than the party boats do—the kind you put on your wall instead of on your plate.
Captain Tiny told Sherill that the next day was going to be outstanding weather. The fishing would be awesome. Even though it was going to be a Saturday, he had a grand total of ZERO people lined up for the charter. This would be like me with a hundred acres of candy-quality second-crop hay ready to bale on some sunny day in July with a 10-mile-per-hour breeze and 12% humidity with no one around willing to bale it or help me collect the bales. You just don't get conditions that good very often. It's almost criminal to pass it up.
Captain Tiny was driving himself nuts waiting for people to call. Perfect fishing conditions. Perfect weather for boat travel. Zero crowd.
Then he had an idea. There's a guy named Chuck who fished with Captain Tiny on several occasions and told Tiny that he'd be willing to help him fill out a boat if he got strapped for passengers. Tiny would call Chuck and see if he'd be willing to go the next day. If he would, Tiny would cut us a deal of sizeable proportions. We could go at a reasonable rate without a full boat.
I quickly pointed out that the "we" portion of that equation would be one person. That person would be Sherill. I would find some other way to keep myself busy for the day, and none of it would be on the water. Yeah, I had four sets of seasickness bracelets with me, but I wasn't willing to double down and try that experiment again. Boats are now past tense for me. Ancient history. Been there. Done that. No change.
A quick call was made to Chuck, and he said he'd be willing to go along on the trip.
Well, win-win-win! Sherill gets to fish; Tiny gets to send the boat out in ideal conditions; I get to goof off for a day on my own one-man agenda.
That took a lot of the sting out of paying for the charter fee. Of course, for me, it was worth several hundred dollars more than that NOT to have to go on a boat again, but I chose not to share that fact with Cap'n Tiny.
Sherill drove us back to our hotel about an hour away. We had to stop once or twice along the way for me to rid myself of my lasting sea memories. It's easier to do that from the passenger side of the car on a two-lane road that's an hour or two long before you reach real land again.
Morning arrived and both Sherill and I were in fine shape. We made our way to the marina and found the boat and its crew ready to go. Chuck seemed like a really nice guy, as did the crew members who were in charge for the trip. I took some static for my non-participation, but we all agreed it would be better for everyone if I stayed on land. At 7:00 a.m., I said my goodbyes and headed back to the car once the souls of a fishy nature were on their way. My stomach was incredibly calm.
The way I did the math, I had 77.5 miles to cover between the marina and the southernmost point of the United States. I also had some decent batteries for my camera, so a few pictures might be in order. Seeing as how I would have no one along to advise on when, where and how often we should stop, I decided it would be a completely whim-driven trip. See a photogenic spot? Stop, point and click. Maximum memories. Zero hurling. My kinda math.
According to the time stamp on my photos, it took me less than 12 minutes to discover that this was how our trip was supposed to be. Driving past an office a few miles down the highway, I saw something that told me I was in the right place, in the right frame of mind, and someone else had similar taste. There was a dune buggy almost exactly like my GuyNo2Mobile! It was like I was home.
More photogenic spots kept popping up as I drove. A potential upgrade to The GuyNo2Mobile appeared just a couple miles further down the road. He only wanted $22,000 for it! In John Deere green, maybe, but bright red? I don't know.
Then, at 7:43, I got a text from Sherill: "Just caught about a 3 to 4 foot shark. OMG. It almost pulled me over! They threw it back in before I could get a picture."
Well, less than an hour into it and Sherill's reeling in A SHARK! I felt much better about our job assignment separation for the day.
Over the course of the next hour or two, I received several texts from Sherill. She was catching fish left and right, and having a ball. One of the fish was a Wahoo, which I'd never heard of before. Sherill hadn't either, and asked the crew about them. Their reply was priceless: "When it bites, the first thing you think is 'WAHOO! I got a whopper on here!'"
Sherill felt the fish was appropriately named. They apparently have access to Red Bull in their part of the sea.
By the time the boat got back, Sherill and Chuck had a pretty decent haul. One of the crew members grabbed a couple of the bigger fish and posed with one in each hand for pictures. The crew got their fillet knives out and went to work. We brought home a pile of fish from the trip. It was so significant that we went to the outlet mall and bought some more luggage to store the dry ice and the fish in for transport home.
I made sure to tip Cap'n Tiny's crew well for their work. Heck, I figured it was sort of a preventive ransom payment to keep me from being kidnapped and held hostage at sea for several hours.
Worth every penny.

Abunai Inc.: Well, it's been a good run, but it's time for the Cache-A-Day series to be archived.
It was an ambitious series and we hope everyone enjoyed having a bunch of easy to find caches available.
We decided though, that since it was so difficult to keep this geographically dispersed series properly maintained, we weren't doing the Geocaching community any good by having several missing, broken, crappy caches out there.
We'll focus an a lot fewer, a lot higher quality caches in the future.
Thanks all!
Size:  (micro)
We're going to try to make it easier for you.
We are placing a series of caches, each with a date in the name.
If you find each cache on the calendar day that matches the cache name, you should be able to log a cache per day for a year.
We will take leap year (February 29) and weather conditions into account (caches named with a winter date will be as weather friendly as possible.)
We'll do our best to keep up with DNF and "Needs Maintenance" logs to ensure that the whole series is in place and active.
Have fun.

The above hard disk has several partitions. sda2 , sda2 ,sda3 are primary partitions , sda4 is divided into several logical partitions. You have to find out where your root partitions is mounted.
You can use cfdisk to find out the partitions.
$sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
I am getting the following screen .
You can examine the screen and find out the Linux partitions . If you have multiple installations , this can be tricky. You can quit from cfdisk and return to terminal. Now, try to mount the desired partition into some directory. ( Assuming that you Linux partition is /dev/sda2 , the following commands are described.)
Aquire root powers on the terminal with ( in the case of ubuntu live cd which I use)
$sudo su

I am trying to find out the attendance and revenue earned for every 2010 PGA Tournament. It had to be covered by the media at each locale, so whey do they make it a secret on their website?

I am trying to find out the 2010 PGA Tournament attendance and revenue earned for each Tournament during that year. Each had to be covered by some media and they had to report both the attendance and earnings in their media reports. It is public information that has been released by the PGA, so why don't they publish it themselves? Why is it a secret?

O.J. Brigance inspires Ravens
For the Ravens, there was only one choice for who would present the Lamar Hunt Trophy to the team after last Sunday's AFC Championship Game win over the Patriots.
O.J. Brigance, a former Baltimore linebacker and the team's current senior adviser on player development, uses a wheelchair as he battles amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease.
"What can't you say about O.J.?" safety Ed Reed told reporters. "O.J's been our strength."
Using a communication device that transmits his thoughts, the Ravens' honorary captain had a message for the players.
"Your resiliency has outlasted your adversity," Brigance said. "You are the AFC champions. You are my mighty men. With God, all things are possible."
The entire locker room called out "Juuuiccce," Brigance's nickname, Reed gave him the game ball, and linebacker Ray Lewis lifted the trophy and pointed to his former teammate.
"You're my greatest motivation," Lewis said.
Lewis and Brigance, a onetime special teams ace, were on the 2000 Ravens team that won the Super Bowl. In 2007, Brigance was diagnosed with ALS and soon lost the use of his arms. Then he couldn't walk. And then he lost the power of speech.
But Brigance, 43, has kept showing up for work every day and has never lost the ability to inspire.
"Our strength is made perfect in our greatest weakness," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said last week. "And here O. J. is, visibly in a weakened physical state, yet in an incredibly strong spiritual and intellectual place, and he shows that every day.
"He's just a shining light in the building, and we all definitely are energized by that."
Brigance also shines bright in the community, as the Brigance Brigade organization helps "equip, encourage and empower people living with ALS to live their lives." It's working hard to raise money to advance research.
Brigance is convinced that he will walk again, and said he thinks the Ravens are doing just as much for him, if not more, as he does for them.
"The truth of the matter is those men inspire me," he told reporters. "They have helped give me a reason to get up out of the bed every morning. There is a biblical proverb that says, as iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another.
"We are making each other better men."

Ryan Ward was cruising past the Eden Prairie High School's sprawling athletic fields with no intention of stopping. It was a Saturday, an off day, yet the Eagles' coach had spotted one of his players out on the main stadium's field.
Further investigation was required.
"I'm like hey Brooksie, what are you up to?" Ward said, referring to senior attackman Brooks Armitage. "And he was like, 'Aw, I'm just doing a cross-fit workout."
A cross-fit workout means push-ups and running. Sit-ups and more running. Jumping jacks, squats and, you guessed it, even more running. Bike riding doesn't come standard with the sessions, yet that was Armitage's mode of transportation for the day -- more out of necessity than ambition.
"None of my brothers are back from college, they kind of take my cars," Armitage said. "So I just rode my bike up to the high school."
Ward's chance run-in with Armitage became especially noteworthy after No. 1-ranked, unbeaten and top-seeded Eden Prairie's 16-3 triumph over unseeded Rochester Mayo in the state tournament quarterfinals on Tuesday, June 11, at Chaska High School.

Armitage scored a game-high five goals and dished out three assists while serving as the catalyst of a slow-starting Eden Prairie offense. The performance comes more than a week after Armitage suffered a drop in his fitness level while dealing with a case of tonsillitis.
"He wasn't happy where he was, and he was working to get better," Ward said. "And look at him tonight. He was the best player on our team tonight by far. He's totally unselfish. He's kind of the big example of what we are looking for out of our guys."
Eden Prairie (16-0) is the overwhelming favorite to win this year's state tournament. But the Eagles were hardly extraordinary as they struggled to get their offense going in the first quarter and well into the second. Rochester Mayo (11-5) pulled within 3-2 with 5 minutes, 37 seconds left in the first half. Eden Prairie responded by scoring the next three goals, including two by Armitage, to finish the half with a 6-2 lead.
Armitage said state tournament jitters played a role in the sputtering start, even though Eden Prairie has made four previous state tournament appearances – in 2007, 2008, 2011 and last year. The Eagles finished as the runner-up each time.
"I felt like the whole team came out slow because we have the jitters for the state tournament," said Armitage, Eden Prairie's leading scoring in the regular season with 50 points. "It just gets us every time.
"But I think our second half is what we were looking for. You just have to get comfortable and find your groove. Our coach kind of gave us a mouthful at halftime to kind of get us checked in. After that we kind of just refocused ourself and did what we have been doing all year."
For Armitage that means cutting from behind the goal, finding open teammates with passes or beating too-slow defenders for goals. The ultra quick Mr. Lacrosse finalist looked to be in top form, his fitness concerns having been fully addressed.
"A lot better," Armitage said. "I just felt good out there."

Senior attackman Brooks Armitage scored five goals and fellow frontline "Hobbit" Charlie Venable scored three as undefeated and top-ranked Eden Prairie rolled to a 16-3 victory against Rochester Mayo on Tuesday, June 11, in the quarterfinals of the state tournament at Chaska High School.
The top-seeded Eagles (16-0) scored seven unanswered goals in the third quarter to leave no doubt about the victory over the unseeded Spartans (11-5).
In what has beocme a typical display of its scoring depth, six players took part in Eden Prairie's 7-0 third-quarter scoring outburst. Armitage scored twice and Nic Bentz, Ronnie Spielmann, J.D. Spielmann, Jake Woodring and Venable all added single goals.
A pair of three-goal runs fueled Eden Prairie's 6-2 halftime lead.
Venable scored two of the Eagles' first three goals. Rochester Mayo's Ethan Moore and Wyatt Ryan countered and cut Eden Prairie's lead to 3-2.
Armitage helped grow Eden Prairie's lead by scoring two of his three first half goals.
Rochester Mayo played without leading scorer Mike Fix, a senior attackman who suffered a season-ended shoulder injury in the Spartans' Section 1 championship victory over Lakeville North.
1. Brooks Armitage, Eden Prairie
Rochester Mayo's defenders had no answer for the senior attackman. The game's leading scorer with five goals and two assists showed an incredible knack for finishing around the net. Eden Prairie's leading scorer with 50 points during the regular season showed why he was a Mr. Lacrosse finalist.
2. Charlie Venable, Eden Prairie
Venable recorded a relatively quiet hat trick in the Eagles' convincing win. He was extremely efficient when he got the ball and made no mistakes when he was in a scoring area. Two of his goals came in the first quarter when the game was still up for grabs, and Venable completed the hat trick later in the third quarter when the Eagles began to pull away.
3. J.D. Spielmann, Eden Prairie
Spielmann was a spark plug for the Eagles when they needed it early on. He provided energy from midfield when the Eden Prairie's offense was sputtering through the first half. He finished with two goals and an assist.

National Statistics
Immigration statistics, January to March 2012
This release presents the latest immigration statistics from Home Office administrative sources, covering Quarter 1, January to March 2012.
This release presents the latest immigration statistics from Home Office administrative sources, covering January to March 2012 and provides figures for the whole of 2011, where available, together with detailed tables for the calendar year 2010 and earlier data.
Summary points, Quarter 1 2012
Valid: 24 May to 30 August 2012
Interpreting the figures
This release includes new data for the first quarter of 2012 and provisional annual data for 2011.
Topics covered are:
- work
- study
- family
- before entry
- admissions
- extensions
- settlement
- citizenship
- asylum
- removals and voluntary departures
- detention
- European Economic Area
The trends reflect changes in levels of immigration, policy and legislative changes, including changes to the Immigration Rules, and world events, as well as the availability and allocation of resources within the UK Border Agency.
Key facts
Work, study and family
For those who are subject to immigration control (non-EEA nationals) the latest data for visas granted showed falls for study (-21%), work (-8%) and family reasons (-16%), to the lowest 12 monthly total recorded using comparable data available from 2005. Recent falls for work and study are likely to be partly due to policy changes for these routes which came into effect from 2011.
Before entry
Excluding visitor and transit visas, 13% fewer visas were issued in the year ending March 2012 (529,000) than the previous 12 months (609,000). By contrast, the number of visitor visas issued continued to rise, to a record 1.7 million, 9% higher than the previous 12 months (1.6 million).
There were 10% fewer non-asylum passengers initially refused entry at ports in the year ending March 2012 (16,382), compared with the previous 12 months (18,120), continuing the calendar year on year falls from 38,391 in 2004.
The number of passenger journeys to the UK rose 4% in the year ending March 2012 (106.2 million) compared with the previous 12 months (102.2 million), comprising 3.5 million more journeys (%2B4%) by British, other EEA and Swiss nationals, and 0.5 million more journeys (+4%) by non-EEA nationals. The 4% increase is likely, in part, to reflect lower passenger arrivals during April 2010 because of airport closures due to a volcanic ash cloud.
There were 276,600 grants of an extension of stay in the year ending March 2012, 10% lower than the previous 12 months (308,100), largely due to a 28% fall in grants of extensions in the study category, which were partially offset by an increase in the work category. The latest total continued the fall from the previous two years (330,700 and 366,600 in the years ending March 2010 and March 2009 respectively).
The number of people granted settlement in the year ending March 2012 fell by a third (-35%) to 148,144, compared with the previous 12 months (226,478). Most of the fall was due to 68,144 fewer grants on a discretionary or other basis which in recent years were mainly granted following a review of asylum applications made before March 2007. The large fall is associated with the completion of the review of these cases. There were also falls in the work (-6%) and the family (-19%) categories.
There were 175,298 grants of British citizenship in the year ending March 2012, 10% fewer than in the previous year (195,369), mainly due to 10,979 fewer grants based on marriage (-24%) and 8,163 fewer grants to children related to British citizens (-17%).
There were 4,818 asylum applications during the first quarter of 2012, 1% lower than the first quarter of 2011 (4,844). Pakistan (706) and Iran (575) had the most asylum applications in Q1 2012. However, this followed asylum increases for each quarter in 2011 compared with the same quarter in 2010. Applications were 11% higher in 2011 at 19,804 than in 2010 (17,916), mainly due to an increase in applications from nationals of Pakistan, Libya and Iran.
During the first quarter of 2012, 7,516 people entered immigration detention, 7% more than in the first quarter of 2011 (7,015). Of these 7,516, 53 were recorded as being under 18 (children), which compares with 10 in the first quarter of 2011. Of the 53 children, 35 were children held at the new Cedars pre-departure accommodation, which is specifically designed for children and their families, 12 were border cases detained at Tinsley House, the remaining 6 were age dispute cases detained at Campsfield House, Colnbrook Short Term and Morton Hall. There was one child in detention as at 31 March 2012.
Removals and voluntary departures
There were 13,386 people (including port removals) who left forcibly or voluntarily during the first quarter of 2012. This was 6% less than the first quarter of 2011 (14,224) and a 26% fall compared with the last peak in the third quarter of 2008 (18,078) - the highest quarterly figure since the publication of data began in the first quarter of 2001.
The 6% fall was mostly accounted for by fewer non-asylum cases refused entry at port and subsequently removed (3,095 in Q1 2012 compared with 3,822 in Q1 2011). Excluding port removals, the number of enforced removals and voluntary departures during the first quarter of 2012 (10,291) was at a similar level of departures recorded during the first quarter of 2011 (10,402).
