Desktop: Agent receives an error while trying to make a consult call
|Problem Summary
|An agent tries to initiate a consult call while on a call and receives an error message on the desktop.
|Error Message
|Error: Call could not be completed.
|Possible Cause
The agent phone has reached the maximum number of calls as defined in the Unified CM setting Maximum Number of Calls. For example, if Maximum Number of Calls is set to 1 and the agent already has a call on the desktop, an attempt by the agent to initate another call causes the error message to be displayed on the desktop.
|Recommended Action
|In Unified CM, set the Maximum Number of Calls to 2 (Finesse supports a maximum of 2 for this setting). If an agent already has 2 calls on the desktop, that agent cannot initiate a consult call.

Six months ago, the Cortez Cultural Center was in fiscal panic mode. Almost $20,000 in the red, the nonprofit was forced to release its executive director, Shawn Collins, to remain solvent.
Now, after a rash of donations, they've hired another one.
"Last fall we were down and worried. Then we began receiving donations right and left — some small, some large, some very large. Mostly local people, but some from Florida too," said Shelby Smith, president of the seven-member board of directors. The Center ended the year with nearly $20,000 in the bank.
After interviewing 12 candidates — Collins did not reapply — the board chose Anne Beach of Mancos. She began work April 15.
Beach says she had little involvement with the Cultural Center but is eager to catch up. She has experience writing grant proposals, the nonprofit's single biggest revenue stream. Beach thinks that as an organization that hosts events covering a wide breadth of topics — history, art, music, science — the Cultural Center is uniquely positioned to qualify for more grants than more specialized organizations can.
"I have tons to learn. I have lots of community members to meet. I hope to collaborate with other nonprofit organizations on events," said Beach, who is the only paid staff member. The rest are part-time volunteers.
Area resident Don Lightenburger is underwriting her salary for one year. Beach hopes her tenure will continue, but balance sheets will dictate the future. Beach met with the Cultural Center's accountant yesterday to crunch numbers.
She has the confidence of Smith and other board members.
"Anne is energetic and ambitious, with a go-getter personality," he said. "I'd like us to figure out which events are not worth spending time and money on, and which ones are, then double down on the ones that are. We may have to quit some things that haven't produced (much revenue)."
The Sweetheart Ball is a reliable moneymaker, bringing in $9,000 in February. Upcoming events include the Pueblo-to-Pueblo race on Saturday and the birding festival next month.
Native American dances will resume May 24 and run through Labor Day.
One new development on the horizon is the Cultural Center's partnership with Montezuma-Cortez School District Re-1 and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. As part of its science curriculum, Beach said, the district will take students to Denny Lake and Hawkins Preserve, which the Cultural Center owns.
Smith would like to expand the board. He believes its seven members, some with full-time jobs, are stretched thin and could benefit from fresh ideas. He mentioned 12 members as an ideal number.
"We need a good mix of old timers and new transplants. Somebody from Des Moines might have a great idea of how to run something (more efficiently)," Smith said.

Post subject: Special features of Quirky 5.4.91
I made a quirky5491 directory on my 8gb SDHC card that has a slacko
5404 install on it as well.
I added to my menu.lst:
title Quirky 5.4.91 (sdb1/quirky5491)
uuid 1911d73f-91f4-48c7-98f5-a4f11ab9b216
kernel /quirky5491/kernel.qky pmedia=usbflash psubdir=quirky5491
It booted as normal and graphics,sound,network all good.
I rebooted creating a 512mb savefile (after changing to the proper
directory) and it's working fine I think.
# uname -ra
Linux puppypc13896 3.8.0 #1 SMP Wed Feb 27 09:46:01 WST 2013 i686 GNU/Linux
Report Video 1.3 - Thu 28 Feb 2013 on Racy Puppy 5.4.91 - Linux 3.8.0 i686
Chip description:
5.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
oem: ATI ATOMBIOS
product: RS780 01.00
X Server: Xorg Driver used: radeon
X.Org version: 1.11.0
dimensions: 1440x900 pixels (380x238 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes
I did a test of kernel.qky on a pc with nvidia graphics and that
didn't go so well, got to the desktop but not a proper resolution and
trying to change it didn't work.
I installed the f2fs-tools-20130213-i486-static.pet and
f2fs-tools_DOC-20130213-i486-static.pet then stuck another SDHC card
in a usb adaptor and I was able to format it f2fs (I saw the command
elsewhere in a message by ETP), I created a quirky5491 directory and
then copied kernel.qky into the directory.
When I ran grub4dos it didn't see the flashdrive so that was the end
of that.
I'm afraid this is beyond me, going to need lots of hand holding for
this one.
Maybe it'll be easier to accomplish in the next quirky release

Manual frugal install on a Compaq Armada M700 PIII 850mhz and 576mb ram.
Takes about 2min 20 seconds until the Quick Setup window pops up.
Using about 300mb of ram.
Sound detected and wifi setup was no problem. Downloaded flashplayer and was able to watch a Youtube video at low quality (240p).
Not been able to to get a savefile after a couple of tries - even at 32mb.
[CORRECTION] - savefiles had been created outside the directory (got a lot of stuff on that partition and missed them...)
Copied original 128mb savefile into the Quirky directory and it has loaded without problem.
Had to use this to boot with grub4dos:
title Quirky 5.4.91 (sda3/quirky5.4.91)
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /quirky5.4.91/kernel.qky
kernel /quirky5.4.91/kernel.qky pmedia=atahd psubdir=quirky5.4.91

Booted from a flash drive, the drive was already bootable, so I copied kernel.qky to / of the flash drive and edited the syslinux.cfg to read
default kernel.qky pmedia=usbflash pfix=nox
I needed the pfix=nox as without it the display was corrupted and locked up, I ran xorgwizard which fixed the problem, I'm running a Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT, created a 4fs save, rebooted, everything runs fine.
Very slow loading the kernel though, takes well over a minute.

Since I have frugal installs of both the latest Racy and Quirky on this old Athlon XP box I did a little very unscientific comparison of boot time and ram usage at idle.
Boot time is the average of 3 boots of each version from selection in grub to a full desktop.
boot 23 seconds average
# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 1033472 551252 482220 0 46112
-/+ buffers: 505140 528332
Swap: 1228936 0 1228936
boot 19 seconds average
# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 1033996 166452 867544 0 19424
-/+ buffers: 147028 886968
Swap: 1228936 0 1228936
Quirky still has the annoying habit of not booting about 1 time out of 3...... when grub finds the kernel all activity stops necessitating a hard reboot.

Post subject: Special features of Quirky 5.4.91
Subject description: Discussion of "one file" Quirky and f2fs
Hi Barry,
But, should the version number be included?
In that case, it would be 'racy-5.4.91.pup'
Given a past experience detailed in a few posts starting here:
I would caution against including numerical version numbers in the name as they may be perceived as VGA boot codes. ("quirky-v-two.pup" might be safer)
The following link, although ARM related, may provide inspiration.
I do not know whether it would be feasible to use a cut down version of the 3.8 kernel to act as a boot-loader? Its sole purpose would be to load the Quirky file held on or installed to an f2fs partition.
At this point my ambitions exceed my abilities so I rest my paws.
Regards ETP

I discover this thread only now but use Quirky since the first minutes it was online and did already ask something:
as it did be published in this form. As usual with Quirkies: absolutely no problem, all is perfect! but I will use it without save file and need to include my setting values in it to avoid to have to reenter them as in the old time from Puppy 1.0 and more early!
How good or bad are the possibilities to remaster it?
Is it possible to do the same with other Puppys
(make an all-in-kernel-puplet of them
, of course again with my settings for the same reason: the this part could be a kind of super-remaster-operation after the first start an setting up and without save file asking leaving it - can be remplaced by the same thing, but in the menu where the most logic place
would really be...: the user don't wishing some save file because he uses Puppy outside his home, where he is working, in a "internet drinking place", at school, etc. and saves his pure user data on a stick, for the actual doc an very old PC's is an old floppy yet good enough, and there is absolutely no way to loge a real save file on a floppy disk, can nobody understand it?, or somewhat else, has to answer the question ALL shutdowns or reboots instead that the user wishing a save file would have to search ONE UNIQUE time in the menu? it can not be right as permanent long time situation! is fully unlogic! Puppy builds logic limitations into himself... and it is about the same with greatings and setting up a first start time: first start time is without save file really each reboot
and there are dedicaced icones for setup directly on the desktop as well as an help item in the menu!
why do that with all puplets: over the already mentioned reasons a new one appears to be really very true: absolutely no problem with boot loaders (including the new GNU Grub, also named by a lot of people Grub2 or GrubPC. The start with Grub2 as kernel is as easy, really, that it is possible to do it in the command line interpreter in full discretion, that Grub2 offers now to all users! And it is not really complexe to learn it): the user needs only the presence of the all-in-the-kernel on the PC, and can negociate it with the PC owner, and use no memory on the hard disk else for the kernel, and if not availble, a swap file perhaps, depending of the PC and the size of the all-in-the-kernel file to use temporarily.
There are very great advantages especially in countries where old PCs are more often because of need of more economic developement!
Please, let us discuss on the need of those avoidable stops (divers puplets use already temporary greetings erasing itself after a few seconds). a setting up and an help requirement icone on the desktop, an perhaps a new creating save file icone staying on the top as long no save file exists does exactly the same
kind regards

Here is a crazy suggestion?
Instead of having a savefile one can do the opposite.
To have a set up text file that works in same way as
the set up file that tells Puppy how much to increase
the size of the save file. or the pfix=ram
these tell Puppy what the user wants to be done
and one can do all the personal settings in same way.
So the user make a simple text file that says.
setxkbmap se
time zone Stockholm for city/Country
Firewall on, Single click instead of Double click
No Screen saver activated, No list of thumbs,
and other such personal settings.
Then all programs are .sfs files that one loads
as needed and that way no need for any save file ever.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

this would be a great progress really don't to include wrong personal data at all but only good ones, adding an example file in the distribution valid only if no other file exists in the subdir where the big kernel is logged in (in the same kind as JWM does: if no .jwmrc available as ~/.jwmrc, JWM uses the one beeing in /etc/jwm/system-jwmrc in distros like Debian).
note: sigmargl did introduce such a text file in his ArchPup, named /root/.start ...

He mention .start here
Inside root folder you have hidden file .start. To change keyboard layout replace:
setxkbmap bs &
setxkbmap us &
But that only works if one have a save file AFAIK?

It's This-able!
Talking about 'diff-ability' is something that is quite sensitive in our environment. On the other hand, actually we do not need to feel sorry to show our empathy. What matters is that we treat everybody in the same way, that's how we appreciate each other.
Take a look at Mr. Djumono. He is one of the candidates to be one of the members in legislative assembly for West Java province. He is also the only person with diff-ability that goes as the candidate, and more impressive, he candidate his own self. He is also probably the only person with diff-ability who bravely candidate himself to legislative assembly in Indonesia.
He successfully fulfills the administratrion requirements, and he gets 5.000 voices for the support. There is no reason for The Election Committee not to let him pass. The Election Committee also said that there is no such a thing like discrimination. Everyone has the same right to get the chance to be one of the legislators.
Mr. Djumono is the example of how the society is now fighting for human rights and also the freedom to express themselves, and get the same chance to also have a role in government. Jakarta's governor, Joko Widodo, has also put in a program to modify public facilities so that diff-able people will also be able to do their activity comfortably. "It's not that we are feeling sorry for them. What important is we have to realize that we also live with them, that they also do their daily live activities."
I hope that this kind of synergy will appear more and more in society, both government and the citizen work together to reach the goal. The government give the facility, and the diff-able people bring their best endeavor to get their dreams. How is it going in your contry?

We finally got a blowout sales month.
But is November a harbinger of a boom year ahead? Or a last flurry of giddiness before yet another economic disappointment?
The month just ended had all the elements of a sales takeoff point. Strong demand. Rising transaction prices. Incentives still in check. The first seasonally adjusted annual selling rate above 15 million since 2008. And at 15.6 million, a surprise SAAR substantially higher than anyone dared forecast even last week.
So here's another chance to kick this steady-but-seemingly-plodding pace of recovery into a higher gear.
And what's on our doorstep? The so-called fiscal cliff. A Congressional exercise in brinksmanship. Another breakdown in the U.S. political system that affects the entire U.S. economy.
The current focus is on the Dec. 31 deadline to avoid a combined $600 billion in automatic tax increases and government spending starting Jan. 1.
The debt-ceiling Congressional fight of August 2011 gives us some guidance. Yes, it hurt auto sales. And this new fiscal cliff was the "solution" to defusing that crisis: delay the showdown a year-plus and create a doomsday scenario so terrible that both sides would surely, certainly be forced to agree on a better solution. Clever, huh?
Yet as noise increases and time decreases, we have to ask: How big a damper will the fiscal cliff be on U.S. new-vehicle sales?
Boil it down, there are two camps: a lot or a little.
One says the fate of the U.S. economy, and ultimately the global economy, is at real risk. And failure to reach a settlement this month blows up the recovery, and auto sales.
The other says it's a downer now and a bit bigger downer if it drags into January and February, but not a big deal until March or so.
I can make an argument for either side. But really, the answer is: We don't know.
We don't know how car buyers will react to a deal or a failure to settle. How U.S. and international financial markets will react. Or lenders. Or manufacturers.
Maybe it's little deal. Maybe it's a big deal. Must we find out the hard way?
It's like being in a long convoy of survivors working its way through the last snow-covered mountain pass, before the green plains beyond, while two nitwits argue over how much noise would trigger an avalanche.
Guys, wait until the rest of us clear the pass. Then shout all you want. Heck, shoot into the overhang if you must. Pretty soon, you'll know one way or the other.

Trace Adkins' Wife Shows Off His Superman Underwear
If Trace Adkins was shy about sharing the more intimate details of his wardrobe, he'd probably be upset with his wife Rhonda today. However, the country giant has proven in the past that he's willing to let fans see what's behind the metaphorical curtain (and the actual one). On Monday afternoon, what started as an innocent tweet ended up with a picture of the big man's underwear.
"Just got back from Bentonville, AR. Went to Walmart HQ. Got some new Superman underwear," Adkins tweeted. We responded with "Prove it!" — and we got our wish.
Ask and you shall receive, as they say. Two hours later, Adkins' wife Rhonda tweeted this picture of the singer's blue and red briefs. The tag is still on them, so we can assume (hope?) that he's yet to try them on.
Both Trace and his wife are among the more amusing and interactive people to follow on Twitter. The singer has shown great willingness to poke fun at himself, with his wife picking up opportunities he misses. Adkins also responds to nearly every fan tweet — an impressive gesture since he's nearing 165K followers.

Perhaps we could do this kind of site for eggcorns: http://savethewords.org/
We would get people to pledge to use the acorn instead of the eggcorn.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
What? My plan was to use eggcorns in public whenever I can—and play dumb about it—just to mess with peoples' head. And now you want to take that away?
What, proscribe eggcorns? Nay, laddie. I don't let slip to anyone anymore that they are using an eggcorn; the reaction is always negative, however much I might want it to be celebrated. I regret having told a dear relative that it's not really a "melody" of spices nor of salad greens: that was a gem. I have taken an active adversarial role in the frequent online polls on CBC decrying the debasement of the language. The latest, announced Friday, wants to ban "viral", "Google" (as a verb), and "live life to the fullest", of all things. Admittedly, I might have been led far astray here. I've noticed that I've come to embrace and even cherish clichés, which provide such important fooder for eggcorns.
I have taken an active adversarial role in the frequent online polls on CBC decrying the debasement of the language.
Yes! Let's celebrate the creative, surprising, ear-opening ways in which people actually use the language.
And I'll post a year-end soon, but right now I have to get back to grading—and shaking my head at my students for their creative, surprising, ear-opening ways of using our ostensibly shared language.
As a writer, I'm aware how much I depend on our common heritage of English. The language will evolve, of course – English speakers in the 2500s will find our language habits uncouth. But I'd like to preserve for as long as possible some common and widely-accepted standards of usage, grammar, and spelling. So yes, I do correct serious malapropisms, even eggcorns, and I expect to be corrected (a principle that we on this forum should perhaps call the "golden rue").
Think of our language as a ship. We can't stop it from carrying us to strange ports on its multi-century voyage. But we can try to keep our part of the ship tidy.

Doing it all - Mi marido lo hace todo
He spends the day doing laundry
several loads of his son's jeans and t-shirts
and his own work clothes
littering the laundry room floor
in between loads he opens up the pool
filling it with more water
checking the chemicals
skimming out fallen leaves
he also manages to pack a suitcase for himself and the boy
for a trip they've planned down south
selecting just enough pairs of underwear and shorts to get them through
he'll do a load of wash down there if he has to
(he's bought an extra bottle of detergent)
humming U2 and Johnny Cash as he walks
up and down the stairs
inside and outside
inside again to make a pot of coffee
washing, drying, folding
he fills baskets with fresh clothes
showers and makes love to his wife
then prepares a man's dinner
of grilled burgers, sausage, macaroni and cheese
green beans and stewed tomatoes
(an attempt to get the boy to eat vegetables)
She cleans up, does the dishes
while he inspects the fridge for things he'll need to pick up
at the grocery store
where he'll go at night
after the boy goes to bed
after his woman writes him a list.
While he's away, she'll think about how damn lucky she is.

I like this ... but it makes me wonder how it was different in his father's life! More men are helping out more about the house these days (my own spouse included), even though that may not have been the example they grew up with!

Te sacaste la loteria si!
My husband also helps a lot. He does most of the cooking. He helps a lot with the children. Does his own laundry and ironing. That is ok and more than enough for me, since I grew up thinking I was going to end up doing EVERYTHING in the household...
I am fortunate.

The Western New York Land Conservancy is now several steps closer to creating the Stella Niagara Preserve. In July, the Niagara River Greenway Commission voted unanimously that the proposed preserve was consistent with the Niagara River Greenway Plan. Less than a week later, the Greenway Ecological Standing Committee approved a $500,000 funding request. This grant is the first money received for the more than $3 million project and is the largest single amount ever awarded to the land conservancy.
Tim DePriest from the state Department of Environmental Conservation and chairman of the Greenway Ecological Standing Committee, said, "Creating the Stella Niagara Preserve will be an important milestone for the Niagara River Greenway. We are excited that the land conservancy has taken this project on."
The Stella Niagara Preserve property is located on the river side of Lower River Road in the Town of Lewiston. It sits across from the Stella Niagara Education Park and Center of Renewal. With 29 acres and more than a quarter mile of shoreline, the preserve is the most ambitious and high-profile project in the land conservancy's 22-year history.
Land conservancy staff said it will be the first nature preserve along the Niagara River to be owned and operated by a not-for-profit, and it could be the first property acquisition funded by the NYPA relicensing settlement, a critical step toward making the Niagara River Greenway a reality. This public private partnership - with a not-for-profit taking the lead and committing to long-term legal and financial responsibility for the preserve - will be a model for creating new, high-quality public spaces along the Greenway without burdening public agencies with increased costs.
Paul Dyster, mayor of Niagara Falls and a member of the Greenway Commission, said, "Since the very beginning of the Greenway, this property has been a priority for protection and new public access. It's great to see the project moving forward with so much support."
Steven Reiter, supervisor of the Town of Lewiston, said, "The Stella Niagara Preserve will be a great use of that property. I am glad the land conservancy is helping to protect it and preserve the view of the river."
Land conservancy staff said the property has incredible ecological importance. It has a variety of habitats, including a riparian zone, a large meadow, a forest area, and vernal pools that support rare plants and animals such as the threatened Lake Sturgeon and the endangered shrub called Ninebark. The shallow off-shore shoal supports larval smallmouth bass, yellow perch and rock bass.
The entire Niagara River is internationally designated as a globally significant important bird area because it is home to threatened species such as the bald eagle and common tern, and supports hundreds of thousands of migrating water birds, especially during winter months when all other water in the region is frozen. The property was placed on the Niagara River Area of Concern priority habitat list in 2012, making it an international priority for protection.
The property also has significant cultural importance. It is a nationally designated Peace Site and is part of the Niagara County Historic Trail. It was an important canoe-landing site for the region's Haudenosaunee native peoples who used the Niagara River for transport, trade and fishing. Known locally as the five-mile meadow, it is the very spot where the British landed in 1813 to invade the U.S. The chapel, thought to be the tiniest religious structure in Western New York, was in the national spotlight in 1955 when it "miraculously" survived an ice jam and flood that destroyed many other properties along the river.
Because of the property's gentle slope down to the river, it is one of the few natural landing sites on the Lower Niagara. The off-shore area, known locally as the "Stella Drift," creates ideal conditions for fishing. The view from Lower River Road overlooking the property and the Niagara River has been described as breathtaking. Considering these factors, the site is ideal for public access.
Once acquired, the land conservancy will develop a trail system, provide new fishing, canoe and kayak access, provide interpretive and wayfinding signage, enhance 18 acres of grassland and savannah habitat, offer public programming, and carefully steward the property.
Sister Diane Gianadda of the Sisters of St. Francis, the current property owners, said, "We are grateful to the land conservancy and the Greenway Ecological Standing Committee for assisting us in finding a way to share this beautiful property, a gift of God's creation, with future generations."
The land conservancy is working closely with the Sisters of St. Francis to ensure that this ecologically, culturally, and spiritually uplifting place along the Niagara River is protected forever. Nancy Smith, executive director of the Land Conservancy, said, "We are so pleased to have the opportunity to help achieve the Olmsted-inspired vision of a necklace of protected and publicly accessible open spaces along the length of the Niagara River."
The Western New York Land Conservancy is a regional, not-for-profit land trust that permanently protects more than 5,000 acres of land with significant conservation values in Western New York, for the benefit of future generations. Its members envision a future in which natural areas, farmlands, wildlife habitat and scenic beauty are cherished and protected as part of the landscape and character of Western New York.
The organization is one of 1,700 land trusts nationwide, including 90 in New York, which have protected 40 million acres over the past 20 years.

Things That Take a Piece of Your Heart
The pup that chose you nearly 14 long years ago, who must have been in pain, but never let on. The pup whose tail never stopped up until the very end, who never growled, or snapped or ever entertained a bad mood. The dog who followed you from room to room for so many years that you stopped noticing it until today ... when you no longer heard the click, click, plunk that you had grown so dependent on. The smart and intuitive dog whose soft brown eyes were the first waking thing you've seen every day except when you were away. The dog your friends said was uncanny in her similarity to you. The dog you named Phoebe after the songwriter Phoebe Snow, and the Greek word for "bright" or "radiant," and who honored the name with every silvery hair on her body.
Good-bye my little love. There won't be a day that passes when I won't remember the way you made me feel so unconditionally loved.

OPM: A new console is nothing without the support of a sturdy launch line up. Here's an entirely speculative list of games we'd really love to see ushering a new generation of PlayStation.
I hope KZ4 multiplayer is more similar to KZ2 than KZ3. Bigger battles and better class mechanics.
Killzone 4, Uncharted 4, God of War 4, LittleBigPlanet 3, Metal Gear Solid 5, inFamous 3, and a couple of new Ips is what I'm looking for.
Most seem very unlikely, i want to see Motorstorm 4.
EDIT: They can even play the original E305 trailer at E313 and say this is a live capture of gameplay. Boom

Coming Soon to a Kindle Near You . . .
Pattrick Clayton is a farmer in a somnolent Lancaster town, affable, charming, loved by all. Since his father died, and since he came out of the Great War alone, he has struggled to come to terms with the death that plagues him. It only becomes worse when, to add to his grief, his aunt is found dead in her home. Not a year has passed since the armistice, and the beloved town gossip has been poisoned--and to all appearances, she poisoned herself.
What am I leading up to?
Nuile wrote a novel.
And he's publishing it.
(Coming 1/12/13)
Pattrick can't believe it any more than the rest of the Claytons, whatever the police say. Investigations continue, but before anyone can make up their mind, another death strikes the family, this time even closer to home. And, this time--it's murder.
From the nearby city of Philadelphia comes retired private inquiry agent, Leo Westmacott. At first he's only an old family friend come to pay his respects; but duty is a difficult thing to avoid, and soon he's playing the role of sleuth once again. Now he has to readjust himself to the detection game and get to the bottom of these murders. The complaisant Pattrick Clayton agrees to help, and soon they are joined by Leo's dependable secretary, the charming Miss Slaytor. The deeper they inquire into the lives and minds of the people of Mockingbird, the more they realize that life is no more innocent, no more docile, and no less dangerous in the country than on the backstreets of Philadelphia.
Filled with vivid characters, flavored with heart, and steeped with wisdom, The Second Death is more than a study in murder and mystery but in loss, family, friendship, and death itself. A vivid cast of characters will light your way along an ingenious maze of secret and deception while the secretive Leo Westmacott will leave you completely in the dark until the final moment.
And this is but the first in a series of detective novels. You can expect to see more of Leo Westmacott and his assistants in the nigh future. In the meantime, I hope that you'll all take advantage of the .99 cent trial period, read and enjoy the book, and then lend me your advocatory but critical rhetoric in some objective reviews. If you can be patient, however, I encourage you to wait for the five-day promotion during which you may "purchase" the novel absolutely free, January 26th through the 30th. And I won't lie and say that I don't hope some don't notice this until the 31st or later, when the price will stabilize at $2.99.
(Sales, of course, will be through the Amazon Kindle Store.)
Be sure to tell all your friends, relatives, hairdressers and sanctimonious literature teachers [s]after the 30th in time for the promotion!
And hey, have any questions? Ask away!
Sincerely, Nuile: Lunatic Wordsmith

2013 Peaks to Portland Swim
The 32nd Annual Peaks to Portland Swim, a 2.4 mile ocean swim, was held on Saturday, July 13 under sunny skies. The Cumberland County YMCA organized this event. Again this year, they did a fantastic job by providing a safe, fun swim. From Peaks Island the first wave of swimmers and their escort kayaker started at 9 a.m. and then every few minutes a wave of swimmers and their escort kayaker followed with a total of five waves. A few swimmers opted for no escort kayaker. There were safety boats along the course, too. The swim started on a slack tide. The incoming tide did not start until late in the swim. Water temperature was a balmy 65 degrees. Swimmers enjoyed the scenic route pass Fort Gorges at the entrance of Casco Bay. Of the 400 registered entrants, only 23 swimmers opted for the non-wetsuit category. The remainder of swimmers wore wetsuits. The winner of the Men's non-wetsuit division was Michael Leake of Bennington, Vt in a time of 59:09.5. Again, this year he led the pack in the non-wetsuit division. He is an amazing young man and talented swimmer The winner of the Women's Non-wetsuit division was Carla Dropo of Beverly, MA in a time of 1:04.33.5. She proved to be a very strong and fast endurance swimmer. Japanese marathon swimmer Miyuke Fujita (non-wetsuit) was honored for traveling the longest distance to compete in Peaks to Portland. The record breaking crowd of spectators enjoyed a great view from East End Beach. All swimmers received words of congratulations and a medal as they crossed the finish line. The winner of the Men's wetsuit division was Scott Yeomans of Bethlehem,PA. The winner of Women's wetsuit division was Kirsten Read of Arundel, Me. Congratulation to all swimmers. And many thanks to all the volunteers who did an incredible job.

Sunnyside's Nuestra Casa has received a $13,000 grant from the Yakima Valley Community Foundation as part of more than $335,000 in competitive grants awarded this month.
Dr. Esperanza Lemos of Nuestra Casa said the funds will be used to set up and operate ESL, Spanish literary, math and English classes in Sunnyside.
"It will help pay for staffing," she said. "We aren't experts in math, so we need to hire outside our staff to provide a good education."
The classes help local women gain an education, including earning GED diplomas and enrolling in local colleges.
"We're extremely grateful," said Lemos. "Obviously the women who participate in these classes will really benefit."
Nuestra Casa applied for the grant earlier this year and was one of a large number of organizations receiving grants that range from $2,500 to $15,000.
The grants were given in six areas of focus: arts and culture; basic needs; education; environment and animals; health and wellness; and neighborhoods and communities.
"We are grateful to the non-profit organizations in our region that do the hard work every day to make sure that the needs of our community and its people are met," said Linda Moore, president and CEO of the Yakima Valley Community Foundation.
The foundation manages more than $54 million in assets with more than 59 funds created by individuals, families, corporations and agencies.

Debian tricks
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
Configure apt-get
- Change the sources of apt (HTTP, FTP, CD-ROM... and Servers):
apt-setup noprobe
- Or/and edit file:
You can also install netselect-apt, that will automaically generate a sources.list using with the fastest server from the ones avalable. Then you can replace/merge that new file with the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
After you done, don't forget to run the following command as root $ apt-get update
- Install languages for Debian (Man, Nano...):
apt-get install locales

- If order to have your Real Time Clock working, you must use udev. Set it as root with the command:
hwclock --set --date="12/31/2007 18:13:00"
- Also, it's a good idea to have ntp to automatically sync the time
apt-get install ntp
Secure Shell (ssh)
- Login to your box using ssh instead of telnet (more secure)
apt-get install ssh

MARION (AP) — A southern Illinois state's attorney is requesting that a special prosecutor be brought in to review a former police officer's claims of being punched by the police chief.
Williamson County State's Attorney Chuck Garnati asked a court Thursday to appoint an outside prosecutor in the alleged battery last month by Johnston City Police Chief Vernon Campbell.
Garnati says he's looking to withdraw from the matter because his office's close working relationship with Campbell could pose a conflict of interest if Garnati kept the case.
Timothy Patrick alleges that Campbell hit him during an argument Feb. 9. Patrick says he was fired after reporting the matter to Illinois State Police.
Messages seeking comment were left Friday at Campbell's office and home.

Traveling with a Chronic Condition
Traveling with a Chronic Condition
Any trip needs advance planning so you can be comfortable and lower your risk for worsening symptoms. Use this checklist to create a smart travel plan for a safe and enjoyable trip. Bon voyage!
Involve your healthcare providers

If you are crossing time zones, be sure to ask your healthcare provider how to take your medicines on schedule.
Discuss your specific travel concerns. Take notes or ask a loved one to do it.
Plan ahead
Always plan to travel during slower times, or off-season, when there are fewer people.
Consider what times of day you usually feel your best and when you need to take medicine.
If you will be flying, call the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at least 72 hours before your flight. The TSA can give you special help at security screening checkpoints.
Avoid medicine mishaps
Do you have enough medicine? Do you have extra in case of an unplanned delay?
Pack your medicines in your carry-on luggage in their original containers.
Bring extra prescriptions in case of emergency or in case medicines get lost.
Pack wisely
Pack light and take only what is absolutely necessary.
Carry your healthcare providers' contact information, a list of medicines and a brief medical history with you at all times. Give a copy to someone traveling with you.
Bring a copy of your health insurance's out-of-area care policy.
Get the specific prescription for your oxygen requirements in writing.
Make a plan for getting oxygen at your destination.
Arrange supplemental oxygen in advance with your airline. Ask about costs, paperwork, and layovers.
Steer clear of smoking if you have a chronic condition
Ask about the no-smoking policies where you are going.
Let your travel companions or hosts know you can't be near anyone who smokes.
Prepare for an emergency
Wear a medical alert bracelet.
Pack a travel health kit.
Locate the hospital closest to where you are staying.

Hi all, noob question here.
I'm trying to make a shiny metallic looking cube that spins.
I setup a rounded cube mesh and made the surface Glossy BSDF with 1 overhead light...but for some reason it only reflects light when there's a flat surface straight on like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0mqdhvnsp5q8v ... 6.png?dl=0
As you can see by the 4th frame it looks like there's not overhead light at all. Any ideas on how to fix this? This does NOT happen with the Diffuse BSDF, but I need the cube to look shiny.
Ideally I want to find a metal texture and UVwrap it around, but I still want the cube to look shiny.
here's the .blend file

NEW ORLEANS — A vagrant wanted for questioning in a rape overpowered a 24-year-old police officer who was trying to handcuff him, then shot her to death with her own weapon Monday, police said.Yes, it could've befallen any of them! Even--especially!--that guy.
Equally equipped, indeed. But some are more equally equipped than others.
Political correctness isn't just annoying. It is deadly serious.

I recently asked the Lord for help with something that is very-very important to me.
God will not GIVE you anything. You have to work hard for everything worth having.
Just ask the people who slave in sweatshops for $5 a month so you and I can wear the designer clothes we've "merited".
Really? Then what about those people who refused to accept the idea of working in sweat shops and have made more of their lives? No. It is about personal responsibility and not settling.
Even though things are a bit tight lately he said ok and we will go buy a new one tomorrow (£250-£300).Do you think this will provoke God and he might take away what He was given me?

- 1 The Sekuro-box
- 2 The easy way
- 3 The hard way
- 3.1 Compile the kernel with video4linux support
- 3.2 Build the kernel module for your webcam
- 3.3 Motion application installation
- 3.4 Web survey pages installation
- 3.5 Cron job to clean old files
The Sekuro-box
Here is my new contest entry !
What is the Sekuro-box ?
What can be that Sekuro-box ? It's a security center based on the fantastic Kuro-box, it will allow you to :
- Remotely watch for a place using a Webcam
- Record (in jpg or avi) any activity in front of the webcam (using a motion detection software)
- Keep the pictures/videos during a certain time so you'll not have a disk full problem !
What do you need for this project ?
- A Kuro-box (standard or HG)
- A Webcam supported by a Linux driver
- Something or someone to watch
- Reading this guide
For this project, I bought a Creative Webcam for Notebook (about 50€) as it's a tiny webcam and it is reported as providing a quite good quality picture under linux, but there is cheaper webcams available (you may already have one by the way, i was one of the latest person on earth without a webcam).
Some examples of how it looks like
Here is a sample of what you can get :
That what we call "caught in action" ! As you can see, this allowed me to have the proof that my cat was going on the sofa when we're away, even if he knows that it is totally forbidden ! With that proof, i finally applyied an immediate sanction : no meat for 1 month ! I guess you can think about some applications in your case :D
The easy way
For the guys who do not want to compile/install/configure things, i've done a complete disk image (I've built it for the Kuro-box HG only, people with standard Kuro-box will have to follow the hard way steps to build their own image) that you'll just have to put in your kurobox, you can download it here (it's based on the debian image with some custom modifications explained in this article) :
Sekuro-box image v1.0
Note that this image is compatible with "standard" boot and with U-boot !
Usage is "simple" :
- As with this image, your kuro-box will ask for an IP adress using DHCP, make sure that you have a DHCP server to serve an IP to the kurobox :)
- The image is based on Debian, check Install Debian for installation details !
- Default user is unchanged from original debian image (tmp-kun/tmp-kun)
- First time you run the image, create a /mnt/webcam folder to store all pictures/videos
- Plug your webcam in one of the USB connector (webcam support is done through SPCA5xx & PWC drivers, check the links to know if your webcam is supported)
- Then go to http://kurobox_ip/motion
- Here you'll have a record of past events, and you'll be able to watch the live stream from you webcam !
The hard way
First of all, you'll need a development environement with gcc & needed stuff ! I suggest you installing a Debian image as it will save a lot of time installing all needed applications ;) With Debian, install the developement tools this way :
apt-get install make automake gcc g++ patch libncurses5-dev
Also install some tools you will need later :
apt-get install wget bzip2
Then follow these guides :
- Install udev on Debian without breaking the system
- Install usbmount for automatic USB devices mounting
Now you're ready for the next step.
Compile the kernel with video4linux support
You need to compile the kernel with the video4linux module !
- First of all, download the vanilla linux kernel sources :
cd /usr/src wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-184.108.40.206.tar.bz2
- get the linux kernel patch for the kurobox
wget http://genbako.vodapone.com/kurobox-sources-2.6.17.patch
- untar the kernel sources, apply the patch and create the symbolic link
tar xjf linux-220.127.116.11.tar.bz2 patch -Np0 < kurobox-sources-2.6.17.patch ln -s linux-188.8.131.52 linux
- now go to linux directory an copy the .config file according to the kurobox you have :
for the standard Kuro-box :
cd linux && cp config_kurobox .config
For the Kuro-box HG
cd linux && cp config_kuroboxhg .config
- then you need to configure the kernel to support video4linux (needed for the webcam)
export ARCH=ppc make menuconfig Device Drivers > Multimedia Devices > Video For Linux and press "m" to build it as a module (you can press "y" to build it in the kernel)
- now compile the kernel
make oldconfig make vmlinux (or "make uImage" if running U-boot) objcopy -O binary vmlinux /boot/vmlinux.bin (or "cp arch/ppc/boot/images/uImage /boot" if running U-boot) cp System.map /boot && cp .config /boot (could be usefull to rebuild your kernel later) make modules sudo make modules_install
- now reboot to run your new kernel :D
Build the kernel module for your webcam
SPCA5xx driver
If you need SPCA5xx driver :
- Download module sources
wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Download/spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz
- Detar the archive
tar xzf spca5xx-20060501.tar.gz && cd spca5xx-20060501
- compile module
export ARCH=ppc => as it will use kernel sources to compile, we need this line ! make
- install module
make install
- now plug your webcam and check that the spca5xx module is loaded :
> lsmod Module Size Used by spca5xx 677520 0 videodev 11072 1 spca5xx (will only be present if you built video4linux as a module)
PWC driver
If you need PWC driver :
- Download PWC module (snapshot version would be better as it supports more webcams) :
wget http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/snapshots/pwc-v4l2-20060627-042701.tar.bz2 (pick a version from the snapshot page
- Detar the archive
tar xjf pwc-v4l2-20060627-042701.tar.bz2
- Compile module
export ARCH=ppc => as it will use kernel sources to compile, we need this line ! make
- Install module
make install
- now plug your webcam and check that the spca5xx module is loaded :
> lsmod
Others drivers
If you need another driver : If you found another driver to handle your webcam, then the process to install it should be almost the same (don't forget the "export ARCH=ppc", it is really important if you want your driver to compile correctly. <to be completed...>
Motion application installation
Now that the webcam driver is installed, we will install the application that will process the output of the webcam ! We will choose motion as it allows to capture pictures/videos when a mouvement is detected in the field of the webcam, and its CPU needs are compatible with the Kuro-box CPU !
Application installation
- Motion installation :
apt-get install motion
- Create the folder where to store captures :
mkdir /mnt/webcam
Motion configuration
You'll need to configure motion to fit your needs ! To achieve that, edit the configuration file :
nano /etc/motion/motion.conf
Active the daemon mode :
daemon on
Use device /dev/video0 :
videodevice /dev/video0
Configure capture resolution (320x240 is recommended as 640x480 is too much for the Kuro-box)
width 320 height 240
Set framerate to a value that will not overload the Kuro-box (5 fps seems to be a good value)
framerate 5
If you want motion to create a video from the captured picture, set this : (warning, it's using a lot of CPU and therefore cause motion instability)
ffmpeg_cap_new on
Choose the compression method :
ffmpeg_video_codec mpeg4
ffmpeg_video_codec msmpeg4
Set target dir to /mnt/webcam
target_dir /mnt/webcam
Set webcam port to 8000 and allow anyone to connect it :
webcam_port 8000 webcam_localhost off
Video encoding application installation
If you want to be able to record videos, you'll also need to install ffmpeg !
- ffmpeg installation :
apt-get install ffmpeg
Web survey pages installation
You'll need to install an http server with php support if you want to be able to check if your webcam have detected something ! For this, you should follow the firsts steps of my Install Torrentflux + Transmission + SQLite guide ! Modify lighttpd to allow .cgi execution :
nano /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/10-cgi.conf
and add the this line in "cgi.assign" section :
".cgi" => "",
I did an updated version of MotionCGI you'll have to install in your server home :
cd /var/www wget http://www.kurobox.com/sylver/contest/06-07-01_sekuro-box/motion.tar.gz tar xzf motion.tar.gz && rm motion.tar.gz cd motion cp motion.cgi.conf /etc
Now you can log to http://kurobox_ip/motion ! The web interface will allow you to check captured images/videos and most impotant thing, it'll allow you to start or stop the motion daemon !
Cron job to clean old files
If you let motion fills your hard disk with pictures/videos, you'll fast have the disk full problem ! To prevent that, we will set up a cron job to clean files older than 30 days (you can change that value for your needs) ! First, install cron :
apt-get install cron
Then add the cron job :
crontab -e
enter this line :
00 20 * * * find /mnt/webcam -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
Every days at 20:00 (08:00PM), it'll check for files older than 30 days in /mnt/motion and delete them !

Jodi Arias files motions to fire attorney
In a handwritten complaint, Jodi Arias described dysfunction among the defense attorneys in her murder trial and said she wants to fire her main attorney Kirk Nurmi.
Arias claims lead attorney Kirk Nurmi has not seen her since May 23, the day a jury reached an impasse on whether to sentence her to life or death.
PHOENIX -- Jodi Arias, who has been convicted of first-degree murder in the 2008 death of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander, but has not yet been sentenced, filed motions in Maricopa County Superior Court this week to fire her main defense attorney.
Arias said Tuesday in a 12-page handwritten narrative that her lead attorney, Kirk Nurmi, had not seen her since May 23, the day the jury reached an impasse on whether to sentence her to life or death. She claimed that she attempted to fire him in June, as well, but Judge Sherry Stephens did not grant her request.
Arias writes that Nurmi has an "utter poverty of people skills" and "has little to no tolerance for my emotional and psychological shortcomings." She offered, as an example, her emotional reaction when the defense played in open court a lurid recording of a phone call between Arias and Alexander. Arias said she wanted the tape to be played in a closed courtroom only to the jury and not to the general public.
Nurmi could not immediately be reached for comment on Arias' motion.
Arias, however, speaks kindly of her second-chair attorney, Jennifer Willmott, who she said has borne the brunt of the work in the case.
Arias was in court Thursday for a settlement conference before retired Superior Court Judge James Keppel. A court representative relayed the message that no agreement had been reached and that Keppel was referring the case back to Stephens.
The lack of a deal was not surprising, given that there is not much room for negotiation. Arias is already convicted of first-degree murder, which carries the options of a death sentence, natural-life sentence or life with a chance of release after 25 years.
A death sentence can be imposed only by a jury, so the only discussion points would have been whether the County Attorney's Office would drop the intent to seek the death penalty and whether Arias would waive further appeals.
Earlier, Nurmi declined to comment on the settlement conference, as did County Attorney Bill Montgomery.
In his regular news conference Wednesday, Montgomery explained that he did not attend the settlement conference as he had intended because the "case is no different than any other case," he said.
"I don't see it as an important enough case to where I have to be personally involved to where I can't have the prosecutor who's responsible for the case take care of it himself," he said.
Arias, 33, was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Alexander in June 2008. Alexander, 30, was found dead in the shower of his Mesa home. His throat was slit, he had been shot in the head and there were nearly 30 stab wounds on his body. Arias admitted killing him but claimed she acted in self-defense.
Because the jury could not reach agreement on whether to sentence her to life or death, Arias faces a sentencing retrial.
Arias has another court hearing scheduled for next Friday.

February 13, 2018
The CDC Toxoplasmosis is considered to be a leading cause of death attributed to food borne illness in the United States. This is just one of the parasites that can be spread to humans by litter box dependent cats and can cause serious health problems for those with weaken immune systems.
Hi, Ron Roberts here. We are visiting with Ernie Hemple. In 1978 Ernie Hemple invented the toilet train your cat industry with the invention of the Kitty Whiz Transfer System, the very first toilet train your cat product. It was his goal to eliminate the need for cat owners to keep a litter box.
So, Ernie when and why did you invent the toilet train your cat system?
"It was 40-years ago, I was just 29 years old: I loved cats but hated cat litter boxes: Cats spread germs, viruses, bacteria and parasites found in fecal matter, by jumping up on your lap and food preparation surfaces. Yuck! The result can sometimes leave you and your family very sick and litter boxes stink! They drive down property values, and cleaning a litter box is among the worst chores ever. Seriously, I thought if I could figure out how to teach a cat to use a flushable toilet, then I couldn't imagine that other cat owners wouldn't also want to toilet train their cat and get rid of their litter boxes.
I mean, litter boxes are unhealthy, barbaric, prehistoric relics of the past century, given a choice, not only cat owners but cats would undoubtedly choose to use a flushable toilet. Unfortunately, my first product the single level Kitty Whiz Transfer System was problematic.
Here's the problem with single level systems, like Kitty Whiz, Citi Kitty and Litter Kwitter.
Single level systems disassociate the cat from litter too quickly. This results in a percentage of the cats during the training, simply hopping off the toilet and pooping on the floor. Leaving the cat still litter box dependent."
So, you have reinvented the product?Can you tell us about it?
"Sure, I started seeing a lot of copies of my Kitty Whiz being promoted. So, I did an Internet search under the name of the various products and the words "Poop on the floor" and sure enough, a lot of pet owners attempting to toilet train their cats using these copies were experiencing this problem.
I just felt that I had some unfinished business and so I started to work on finding the solution. I took 3 year and a little bit of luck. However, we figured it out and built the solution into an amazing product. We call it the Bye, Bye Litter, Multi-Level Toilet Train Your Cat System.
The Bye, Bye Litter is different. It uses two levels of trays. Like a single level system, it uses a tray with 5-sections that sits on the porcelain rim. What makes it different is that Bye, Bye Litter also uses a lower level set of trays. These trays are held in place using a snap-on Velcro-like system to attach to the walls of the toilet, just above the toilet water. Both upper and lower level trays can easily be removed if someone needs to use the toilet. Like the upper level trays, the trays that are placed in the lower level support tray are always filled with litter. So, when progressing through the simple 10 steps, the cat is always secure, never gets confused and becomes completely toilet trained in only 21 days.
Here's the good news. You do not have to be an animal trainer to toilet train a cat? No treats. No encouraging, nothing like that. Just set the trays in place as explained in the easy to understand instructions, and the easy to understand instructions and in 21 days, you will have eliminated the disgusting litter box forever."
"It is just that simple!"
Does it work with any cat?
"It works with any cat, any age, any size, breed, any disposition. Even if your cat is moody with an extremely low IQ's. It takes 3-weeks to toilet train a cat.However, once you have set the product in place on the toilet, you can throw out the litter box forever. Your cat will start using the toilet immediately. First with the help of the trays, and then after just 3-weeks, without any trays.It's just that simple! Your cat will continue to use the toilet for the rest of its live."
So what do your friends and family thing about your new version?
"Well, at least I have friends and if a person currently using a litter box will use Bye, Bye Litter to toilet train their cat, their friends will return, their property value will soar, and most importantly, their families will be healthier as they remove forever the germs, viruses, bacteria, parasites, urine and poop infested litter box, which I might remind you, they will never every have to clean again. One more important item, a pet owner will save up to $3,000 per cat by not having to purchase litter and litter related products over a cats life."
Yeah, that is a lot of money. A little more than what we can expect to receive from the tax cut.
"Think about it! What could you buy for $3,000?A nice tropical vacation? A 75" 4K, HD TV's, you get my point. That's a lot of money you get to spend on yourself that you have been wasting. "
I am almost ready to buy a cat so my wife and I could save enough money to take a long needed tropical vacation.Do you offer any type of guarantee?
We do. However, before I tell you, let me read the guarantee from a current single level system. "Because of the unique nature of cats, their age, size and breed, we cannot guarantee that you will be successful with this product. This is pretty much the guarantee of all single level systems.
Here is the Bye, Bye Litter guarantee: If you use the Bye, Bye Litter, Multi-Level, Multi-Tray System to toilet train your cat, your cat will be totally toilet trained in 3-weeks or less or you pay nothing.
What do you mean they pay nothing?
They can return the product and receive 100% of whatever they paid with proof of purchase.
How can a person order a Bye, Bye Litter System? Just visit

UBS Hong Kong Open. Campbell Clings on to lead November 17 2012
Michael Campbell clings on to the lead in the UBS Hong Kong Open at the Hong Kong Golf Course in Fanling China, with a clutch ten foot putt for par at the last hole to retain a share of the lead alongside Miguel Angel Jiménez. Michael Campbell / Getty Images Michael had a third round of -1 under par 69, which he described as scrappy; "Today was sort of scrappy; apart from a couple of drives, it was pretty average really. But once again, I just managed to grind out a score, which is very important with me not playing so well. I turned a 73 into a 69, which is always nice. I've still got a chance to win tomorrow, and that's what I wanted to do after three rounds , give myself an opportunity to go out there and hopefully lift the UBS Hong Kong Open trophy. Once again Miguel is playing great golf, and he's won this twice before and he's the man to beat.It's going to be a very interesting day tomorrow and it's going to be I think a lot of fun. It will be nice to be a part of it." Miguel Angel Jiménez is tied at the top of the leaderboard with his third round effort of -2 under par 68, for his -10 under par tournament score, the Ryder Cup Vice Captain, and twice winner of this Trophy is happy to be in contention again; " I love to be in contention, it's been a long time since I've been there and I'm happy and I like this golf course. I like to be in contention on this golf course and you have to have patience and let everything happen. That's what's going to happen tomorrow, stay patient because anyone can win." Miguel Angel Jiménez / Stuart Franklin / Getty Images Lian-wei Zhang of China is tied in third place with teenage sensation Matteo Manassero of Italy, who won last week at the Barclays Singapore Open. Matteo has cheekily crashed the party of the veterans at the top of the leaderboard. Lian-wei Zhang will become the third oldest winner on the Asian Tour at 47 years and 171 days if he completes his dream 'Chinese Slam' on Sunday. Matteo had a third round of -6 under par, 64, and has certainly made his presence felt. The 19 year-old Italian is looking for his fourth Tour win and is in form, he said; " I played well throughout the whole round, I had a really good practise yesterday and today I have to say, I struck the ball really well. I had plenty of chances, and on the back nine I really had some short putts for birdie and I made a few good ones. Last week really made me relax a lot on the golf course, and these three rounds and my position coming into this Sunday is certainly due to and what happened last week, I've got more freedom." Matteo Manassero, a rare missed putt/ Getty Images The leaderboard is pretty tightly packed and anyone who shoots a low round tomorrow could win this tournament. I would like to see Michael Campbell take home the Trophy, but Miguel is a determined character and Matteo just oozes class. It will be a fascinating days play.

Leif Donde
Born: May 30, 1937
Copenhagen, Denmark
Leif was born to a Jewish family in the Danish capital of Copenhagen. Both of his parents were active in the Jewish community there, and his father owned a small garment factory. The majority of Denmark's 6,000 Jews lived in Copenhagen before the war. Despite its size, the city's Jewish population supported many Jewish organizations, often aiding Jewish refugees from all over Europe.
1933-39: I went to a Jewish nursery school, which was next to a girls' school in Copenhagen. I didn't like my school because they made me take a nap in the afternoon. At school, we learned how to spell and read and sometimes we even sang songs. I played with all kinds of children--some of them were Jewish and some of them were not. I didn't really care; they were all my friends.
1940-44: The Germans occupied Denmark in April 1940. On August 28, 1943, the same day they took over the government, my parents took us to Tivoli Gardens, a huge amusement park in the center of Copenhagen. Leaving the park, we saw people gathered in the street as a convoy of German tanks passed by. Later, my father told us to prepare to leave the city. My parents were scared but it seemed like an adventure to me. We collected warm clothes and took a train south. In October we were smuggled to Sweden on a fishing boat.
After German troops in Scandinavia surrendered on May 4, 1945, Leif and his family returned to Denmark.

Q. When Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my church" (Mt 16:18), is that the first time in the Bible the word "church" is used? If so, then how did people know what that word was if they had never heard it before?
A. Here's a reply from TCA columnist Father Ray Ryland, Ph.D., J.D:
The Old Testament uses two words to designate the entire people of Israel as a religious community. The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament made in the centuries before Christ, translates these words as ecclesia and synagoge. We translate them as "church" and "synagogue."
The sacred writers of the New Testament clearly distinguished them, applying the term ecclesia (which translated the Hebrew term qahal) only to the community of Christian believers.
The new and uniquely Christian meaning of the term ecclesia (literally, "those called out") reflects the fact that the Church is the kingdom of the Messiah. Through the Hebrew prophets God promised that His Messiah would establish a kingdom, with these basic characteristics:
It would have a new sacrificial system (see Ps 109:4; Mal 1:11; Jer 33:20-21).
It would be a kingdom possessing divine revelation (see Jer 31:31-34; Zec 8:3).
It would be governed by authority coming directly from the Messiah (Ez 34:23; 37:24-28; Jer 18:6).
When Peter confessed that Jesus is the Messiah (see Mt 16:16), Jesus was obviously delighted: "Blessed are you Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father" (Mt 16:17).
Then Jesus said, in effect: "You know I am the Messiah, so you know from Scripture [the Old Testament] that I have a kingdom. And you know what kind of kingdom it is. So I now put you in charge of that kingdom, as its earthly head."
Immediately, the word "church" (ecclesia in the Greek New Testament, which no doubt translates the Aramaic qahal that Jesus would have used in speech) would have a world of meaning for those who came to know Jesus as the Messiah. So, as Matthew 18:18 tells us, Jesus could use the term with His apostles soon after, confident they knew He was designating the messianic community.
