Life of humbleness & meekness (11)
Pope Shenouda III | 18 September 2011
The proud falls by exaltation: St. Augustine, in his commentary on Psalms (37, 73), explained how the proud disperses while rising high, as smoke while rising high is dispersed and vanishes. A flame, on the contrary, not rising high, maintains its power. The Psalmist describes the proud as one in great power, spreading himself like a native green tree. What then? He continues, "Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; indeed I sought him, but he could not be found." (Ps 37: 35) They will perish, the Psalmist says, "Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away." (Ps 37: 20) While rising high, the proud is puffed up, and dissolves. The same applies to God's enemies, when they begin to glorify themselves and rise up they consume away like smoke (Ps 37: 20)..

Pope Shenouda III | 11 September 2011
A proud person is in danger of perishing, because ego and pride usually lead to many sins and prevent a person from recognizing this, for as the Scripture says, "Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Prov 16: 18) What are the aspects of such destruction and falling? God resists the proud: A proud person may face resistance from others, for pride is a detestable sin, but more serious is facing resistance from God, for St. James the Apostle says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (Jas 4: 6) How terrible that God resists His creation for pride!.. More
Life of humbleness & meekness (9)
Pope Shenouda III | 4 September 2011
We have already explained in detail thirty-two points, and here we give some more points on the same subject: 1. The spiritual humbleness of a person appears in the movements of the body. Humbleness appears in one's countenance, one's calm and gentle voice, and one's meek looks. The humble does not look down on the others, nor speaks as one with authority, sharply, haughtily or loudly. The humble does not utter disdainful words or degrades anybody by negligence. The humble walks and sits gently and modestly, without haughtiness or elevation, with modest clothes, luggage and belongings, not luxurious, or revealing a high standard of living. The language of the humble reveals him, for he does not boast of or takes pride in what he does, nor holds comparisons between himself and the others to show that he surpasses them or has more knowledge than them. 2. The way of worshipping and prayers reveals the humbleness of a person... More
Life of humbleness & meekness (8)
Pope Shenouda III | 28 August 2011
We spoke last week about 17 signs and means of humbleness, now we shall continue with the same subject: 1. A humble person should flee from all aspects and sources of grandiosity. The humble should flee from love of leadership and superiority, love of domination and haughtiness, and from the desire to be first. All such things lead to perdition, and the Lord warned His disciples against them, saying, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." (Mt 20: 25- 28).. More
Life of humbleness & meekness (7)
Pope Shenouda III | 21 August 2011
I would like to present to you some brief exercises on humbleness, which I will expound in more detail afterwards. 1. If pride is represented in self-assurance and grandiosity, humbleness appears clearly in self-denial. So many are the exercises on self-denial, and the Lord has put self-denial foremost of the conditions of discipleship to Him. He said, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit." (Ps 34: 18) Indeed, for by self-denial a person can attain to humbleness, and will not seek glory or greatness. .. More
Life of Humbleness and Meekness
Pope Shenouda III | 14 August 2011
Some people are born from their mother's wombs, meek by nature. They never need to exert any effort to acquire calmness; they have perhaps gained it genetically, or as a gift from God. Some others are born with a fiery nature inclined to nervousness or violence. We are not going to debate the meek by nature, by birth, or as a gift of God; rather, we will consider how to acquire, or get habituated to, meekness... More
Life of humbleness & meekness (6)
Pope Shenouda III | 7 August 2011
The humbleness of the Son: 1. His Incarnation is the first aspect of His humbleness: "Being in the form of God … made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself …" (Phil 2: 6- 8) Can there be more humbleness than emptying Himself of all aspects of greatness and honor meet for His divinity and taking the form of a bondservant! Such humbleness reveals the wisdom of the divine dispensation, for the first sin entered into the world by pride, both of man and of Satan, so the Savior had to overcome it by humbleness. .. More
Life of humbleness & meekness (5)
Pope Shenouda III | 31 July 2011
The greatest and true example of humbleness is that of God, blessed be His name. God alone can be described as humble. God alone is the highly lofty, who condescends from His loftiness. Any human being is but dust and ashes (Gen 18: 27), and before that was mere nihility. How can we say that anybody, being all sin and iniquity, is humble? Man is not in a high place that he may descend from it, nor in perfection that he may conceal it. Humbleness, as described by a father, is to know one's origin, weakness, and sin. .. More
Life of humbleness & meekness (4)
Pope Shenouda III | 24 July 2011
One of the brothers asked St. Abba Bachomios one day, saying, 'Tell us about one of the visions you see that we may benefit.' The saint said, 'A sinner like me does not see visions, but if you want to see a wonderful vision of real benefit to you, know that a true humble and pure person is better than all visions, for in such a person you will see the Invisible God. No vision is better'.. More
Life of humbleness & meekness (3)
Pope Shenouda III | 17 July 2011
• Once St. John the Short asked the brothers in the monastery, 'Who sold Joseph the righteous?' When they said, 'His brothers,' he said to them, 'No, not his brothers, but his humbleness, because he could say to those who bought him that he was the brother of the sellers, but in humbleness he kept silent, and was sold, yet he became governor of Egypt!' .. More
Life of humbleness & meekness (2)
Pope Shenouda III | 10 July 2011
Humbleness does not mean that you descend from a higher to a lower level, nor to feel that in spite of your greatness you undervalue yourself or conceal your greatness, for such feeling of being great yet willing to descend, or concealing it, does not reveal humbleness, because although you conceal it, you see it clearly. God alone is the Highest, and He alone condescends from high, while all human beings are dust and ashes. Humbleness in truth, as the church fathers say, is to know oneself, to know who you are: You are of the dust of the earth! Rather, the dust is older than you are, for God created it first, before creating you!.. More
Life of humbleness & meekness1
Pope Shenouda III | 3 July 2011
What is humbleness, and what is its significance? What did the fathers say commending it? What does the Holy Scripture say about it? What is its place among and its relationship with virtues? What is its relationship with high gifts, with grace, and with trials? How can a person be humble? All this and more we would tackle – God willing – in a series of articles on this important topic, so that you may know what this great virtue is, and what other virtues it implies... More
The people were astonished at His teaching (Mt 7: 28)
Pope Shenouda III | 26 June 2011
He has authority: What authority was that? It was the authority of the Legislator. • The words "You have heard that it was said … But I say to you" repeatedly came on the Lord's mouth, when speaking about murder, about adultery, about divorce, about oaths, about any eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and about the relationship with the neighbor and the enemy (Mt 5: 21, 27, 28, 31, 32- 34, 38, 39, 43, 44) • In His words about the Sabbath, He said, "For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." (Mt 5: 12: 8) As Lord of the Sabbath, He put its rules as He willed. • When He said to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you" the scribes grumbled within themselves, so He said to them, "… that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins … 'Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.'" (Mt 9: 2- 6).. More
"Do not worry about tomorrow" (Mt 6: 34)
Pope Shenouda III | 19 June 2011
These words are repeated thrice in one paragraph of the Sermon on the Mount in (Mt 6: 25- 34). The Lord says, "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on …" "Do not worry about tomorrow …" "Do not worry about tomorrow … Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Mt 6: 25- 34).. More
"No one can serve two masters" (Mt 6: 24)
Pope Shenouda III | 12 June 2011
In case each master has a different tendency, one cannot serve both equally, or with the same degree of honesty. One's service will be true from all the heart to the one, and in flattery or hypocrisy to the other. In case both have the same tendency, anybody can serve them equally. A person can serve God, the church, the community, the state, and knowledge, but cannot serve two opposite or competing masters, whether the master is a person or a thing... More
Blessed are the meek
Pope Shenouda III | 5 June 2011
A meek person is kind, calm, peaceful, and gentle-voiced, neither argues nor quarrels, does not break up with anyone, nor behaves rudely. In both the New and Old Testaments, it is said of Christ the Lord " He will not quarrel nor cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and smoking flax he will not quench(Matt 12: 19-20) (Isia 42: 2-3). He does not deprive anyone of hope. He does not quench smoking flax; perhaps a wind blows two years later and it may be kindled! .. More
The wise man builds his house on the rock
Pope Shenouda III | 30 May 2011
The wise never builds his house on the sand, on moving and unstable land, as the foolish does (Mt 7: 5), but rather builds it on the rock. Building on the rock: It signifies building on deep faith in God, on sound understanding of His commandments, or on strong firm foundation of love for God, for people, and for good. Such strong and firm foundation never falls. As engineers do, build houses on deep foundation of reinforced concrete, which no winds or rains can shake or move from its place. This is the difference between building on the rock and building on the sand. Some people go to church and listen to God's word, just for knowledge, while others listen, with the intent to act accordingly. While the former turn the mind into a store of knowledge or a moving encyclopedia, having answers to any question, the latter listen, act, and turn the word into life... More
The wise man & the foolish man
Pope Shenouda III | 22 May 2011
The Lord says, "Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." (Mt 7: 24- 27).. More
"I am with you always" (Mt 28: 20)
Pope Shenouda III | 15 May 2011
He promised His disciples to be with them always, even to the end of the age, and He fulfilled His promise. He presented Himself alive for forty days after His resurrection, speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God (Acts 1: 3). He gave them peace and joy as He had promised (Jn 16: 22; 20: 20) and comforted them after the crucifixion they witnessed. .. More
The Resurrection & Related Incidents
Pope Shenouda III | 8 May 2011
The period between the crucifixion and the resurrection: In His resurrection, He sanctified the mortal human nature, giving it power to rise. Before rising, with His body lying in the tomb, He was working for us. Death caused His spirit to separate from His body, but His divinity never separated from His spirit or from His body. His spirit, united with His divinity, accomplished wonderful salvation for those lying in hope... More
Jacob the Patriarch (8)
Pope Shenouda III | 1 May 2011
The journey back & Jacob's fear of his brother Esau After settling his family issues, whether the wrestling of his two wives, or the pursue of his uncle Laban, Jacob set on his way back to his father's house. Terror from Esau: He was afraid, or rather terrified and trembling, in spite of all God's promises and support. Probably the words of Esau were still ringing in his ears, "I will kill my brother Jacob" (Gen 27: 41), or he remembered how he seized the opportunity of his brother's hunger and took his birthright, and made him swear (Gen 25: 31, 33). Maybe he recalled the deceit with which he took the birthright when he said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn", and how his father said to Esau, "Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing." (Gen 27: 19, 35) .. More

This page provides an overview of Clojure Contrib for people considering using (or authoring) a Clojure Contrib library
- Code in Clojure Contrib can be promoted into Clojure.
Clojure Contrib is developed with the same Contributor Agreement and License as Clojure. This makes it possible for libraries to become part of Clojure. It is very difficult to track down copyright and license assignments after the fact, so if you think a library might have any chance of becoming a part of Clojure, it should be in Contrib as early as possible.
- Being a part of Clojure Contrib is orthogonal to library maturity / production use.
Clojure Contrib is a breeding ground for new ideas, some of which are bleeding-edge new. On the flip side, some of the most widely-used and well-supported Clojure libraries are not in Contrib. The only time the Clojure Contrib label should imply anything about production readiness is when the library reaches 1.0 status. (As I write this, in November 2012, zero libraries have reached this level.)
- Updates to Clojure Contrib are much easier than updates to Clojure.
Updates to Clojure itself go through a screening process, and must be reviewed by the BDFL. Contrib libraries can be updated directly by the individual project teams, and require no review.
- The Contrib process, while lighter-weight than Clojure's, is not weightless.
Contributors can only accept patches (not pull requests) from other contributors; all contributors must sign the CA.
- Contrib projects share common infrastructure.

Lost in an offseason of change for the Ravens has been a comeback of a guy who could be their most significant addition.
According to the team's official website, coach John Harbaugh said he expects cornerback Lardarius Webb to be back for training camp.
Webb tore the ACL in his left knee in Week Six last year, and at least has experience bouncing back. He tore the other ACL as a rookie.
Webb was limited to individual drills in OTAs, but if he returns to the form he displayed when the Ravens gave him a $50 million contract, it will provide a significant boost to a team breaking in hew parts left and right.
Between replacing linebackers Ray Lewis, Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger along with both safeties (Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard) and cornerback Cary Williams, the Ravens will have a new look on defense.
Getting Webb back will be as much of a boost as signing Elvis Dumervil or any of the other replacements they signed.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence agencies are worried they do not yet know how much highly sensitive material is in the possession of former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, whose whereabouts are unclear, several U.S. officials said.
The agencies fear that Snowden may have taken many more documents than officials initially estimated and that his alliance with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange increases the likelihood that they will be made public without considering the security implications, they said.
Investigators believe Snowden, who was working in Hawaii for an NSA contractor, was partly successful at covering his tracks as he accessed a broad array of information about operations conducted by NSA and its British equivalent, Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), according to the sources, who declined to be identified.
In a weekend television appearance, the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein, said she had been informed by U.S. officials that Snowden possessed around 200 secret documents.
But one non-government source familiar with Snowden's materials said that Feinstein grossly understated the size of Snowden's document haul and that he left for Hong Kong with thousands of documents copied from the NSA files.
Two U.S. national security sources that were among the people Reuters spoke to confirmed that investigators believe Snowden possesses a substantial amount of secret material, though they declined to discuss numbers.
So far, the Guardian and the Washington Post have not published all the details of the documents that Snowden gave them.
Assange and Wikileaks in the past have taken a different approach in releasing tens of thousands of reports about U.S. military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as 250,000 State Department cables.
Although WikiLeaks initially made the diplomatic cables available to media outlets, including the Guardian and New York Times, who redacted potentially sensitive information before publishing them, the website eventually released an entirely unredacted archive of the material, to the dismay of the Obama Administration. U.S. officials said the information put sources at risk and damaged relations with foreign governments.
Snowden's current whereabouts, since leaving Hong Kong for Moscow, is shrouded in mystery.
U.S. officials have said they believe he is still in Russia, although Ecuador has said it is reviewing Snowden's asylum request and the media is tracking an Aeroflot flight to Cuba. Airport sources said Snowden was booked into seat 17A but someone else was sitting there as the plane took off.
On a telephone conference call Monday with reporters, Assange, who a year ago took refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning in a sexual assault investigation, said he thought more details from material in Snowden's possession should be published.
Asked by Reuters whether he was seeking to obtain, or had already obtained, access to unpublished material in Snowden's possession, Assange, declined to answer, saying that he was unwilling to discuss "sources" which provided information to WikiLeaks.
But he added, "Of course WikiLeaks is in the business of publishing documents that are suppressed by governments."
Assange said that WikiLeaks had arranged and paid for Snowden's departure from Hong Kong.
In an interview with the South China Morning Post, Snowden acknowledged that he took a job as a security administrator for contractor Booz Allen Hamilton three months ago to gain access to details of NSA's eavesdropping programs.
"My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked," Snowden said, according to the newspaper.
Investigators suspect he also took documents from previous jobs in which he had classified access.
Based on Snowden's documentation, Britain's Guardian published stories outlining massive telephone and Internet surveillance by the NSA and GCHQ, including collection of raw data about U.S. phone calls and tapping by GCHQ into fiber optic trunk cables carrying Internet traffic. The Washington Post and the Guardian disclosed details of an NSA program to read Internet messages of alleged foreign intelligence targets.
Neither the Guardian nor the Washington Post, however, published full operational details of the eavesdropping programs that Snowden told them about. In fact, both newspapers only published handfuls of classified slides and withheld others. Some slides published by both newspapers were also extensively redacted.

The following are update on area athletes playing collegiate sports.
Brooke Elby (Flintridge Prep, 2011) North Carolina women's soccer, sophomore: Elby played 30 minutes off the bench in the 14th-ranked Tarheels' 1-1 (4-2) victory over ninth-ranked Baylor in the third round of the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament on Sunday at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill.
North Carolina got a match-tying goal from junior midfielder Crystal Dunn in the 82nd minute before prevailing on penalty kicks to end the Bears' 21-match unbeaten streak and advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2009.
Elby and the Tarheels (12-5-3) will next play at third-ranked BYU (20-1-2) Friday at South Stadium in Provo, Utah.
On the season, Elby has appeared in 19 games, starting five, and has logged 775 minutes on the field. The midfielder has one goal scored and three assists on the year for a total of five points.
Alyssa Conti (Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, 2011) Johns Hopkins soccer, sophomore: The Blue Jays' NCAA Division III Tournament run ended in the Elite Eight on Sunday night with a 3-0 loss to top-seeded Messiah.
Conti, a midfielder, came off the bench to notch the only shot on goal of the match for Johns Hopkins, which finished the season 18-5-1.
On the year, Conti started in 11 of 17 games played and logged two assists, while taking two shots on goal.
Camille Coffey (Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, 2011) sophomore, Fairfield University women's volleyball: Coffey notched six kills, an ace and 20 digs in the top-seeded Stags' 20-25, 25-27, 25-21, 25-20, 15-11 win over second-seeded Sienna College in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship game at home on Sunday.
It is the sixth MAAC title in program history and the first for Fairfield since 2001.
On the season, Coffey, an outside hitter, has appeared in 30 matches, including 24 starts, and recorded totals of 199 kills, 29 assists, 13 aces and 301 digs.
Coffey and the Stags (22-8) now await their NCAA Division I Volleyball Championship fate as the NCAA Selection Show will take place on Nov. 25 at 4pm live on ESPNU.
Jenna Orlandini (Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, 2009) University of Washington women's volleyball, junior: Orlandini led the Huskies with 14 digs in a 25-15, 25-13, 25-22 home win over Oregon State at Alaska Airlines Arena on Saturday.
The win set up an interesting end to the regular season that saw the Huskies play Arizona State at home Wednesday night before traveling to Washington State for the season finale on Friday.
Wins in their final two games could allow Washington (22-5) to finish as high as second in the Pacific-12 Conference, as the Huskies look to earn a top-16 seed and first- and second-round home games in the NCAA Division I tournament.
Orlandini, a libero/defensive specialist. has enjoyed a solid season in which she's totaled a team-high 398 digs.
Rian Younker (St. Francis High, 2009) senior, California Lutheran football: Younker recovered a fumble and returned it for 39 yards on Saturday in what was one of few highlights Kingsmen fans had to cheer about in Cal Lutheran's 41-21 loss to North Central in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.
The defensive end finished with two tackles, including one for a loss.
Younker's teammate and fellow Golden Knight alum Chris Cabrera, a junior linebacker, also recovered a fumble and recorded three tackles for the Kingsmen, who finished the year 8-2.

Scooper needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
Resibuilt is a small scale property developer and construction company that specialises in nice, clean, simple and affordable housing for Sydney buyers.
We will be displayed on large signs at ourt developments sites, so striking, imaginative colours and designs are encouraged. We want a warm, inviting feel to the logo and branding, and want to avoid industrial and sparse styles.
We dont want to be seen as a big, cold devleoper. We're building homes, not just investments.
Re the attached Pic: I saw this design in a magazine somewhere a while back and like the concept behind it.
My intention is to create a logo design where the RESIBUILT, (in coloured blocks) resembles one or a series of buildings.
Alternatively, The Resibuilt may be in clearer text and the colured blocks will sit behind or above it making the outline of a building.
As always, I'm open to more adventerous takes on our design brief, and will provide plenty of feedback to keep you on the right track. Please free to contact me with any questions or feedback requests.

This, my friends, is why having a child is a worthwhile endeavor: yes, it's hard, and it's smelly, and you miss all that sleep you used to get. And then the years pass, and you have to deal with grades, and heartaches, and driving tests. But then! (Stay with me, here.) Then one day you wake up, and your behemoth of a man-child has left a CD for you, and you listen to this song that he wrote. And you realize that however big you thought your boy's heart is, it's actually ten times bigger. (Metaphorically speaking.)
If you're even luckier, though, you get your reward early—say, when your child is three and a half, and you hear the song that your nephew wrote for your little boy.
(Incidentally, I have two nephews, both of whom are too amazing to be true—I think they may in fact be holograms—but, ahem, only one of them wrote a song for Henry. So, Dave, if you want equal airtime, may I suggest an oil portrait? Or how about a little interpretative dance? Just a thought.)
Here, without further ado, is "Underwater Batman (Song for Henry)."
(EDITED TO ADD: Hey, do you see the link up at the upper right? The one that casually suggests that you might want to take a survey? This is from the people at Blogads, and will help me get more money in the future, so I won't whine as much about my lack of money. If you could take it, that would be nice. Okay. Thank you.)

When I was a boy, our family would gather around the television set and watch a fixed routine of shows such as Milton Berle, "The Twilight Zone" and "The Ed Sullivan Show." One of our other favorites was "To Tell the Truth." On that show, three people would claim to be the same person, and eventually one would stand up and admit to being the "real" special guest.
Somehow, watching candidate Mitt Romney, I'm trying to figure out which of the three Mitt Romneys he really is, since, depending on which one emerges this month, he may still be capable of winning in November. There's no doubt that the national polls all show signs that his campaign is faltering, which is in large part due to the fact that his fellow Republicans, and President Obama, have done a good job of defining him.
The first Mitt Romney is one who's well known to people in the political world. He was the Republican governor of Massachusetts, a very Democratic state. He won that office because the voters considered him to be a member of that dying breed, moderate Republicans. Massachusetts had a history of accepting moderate Republicans, having elected Edward Brooke to the U.S. Senate.
Despite all of Romney's current denials, he was a very middle-of-the-road politician. He spearheaded the passage of the nation's first comprehensive health care law, which looks and is very much like Obamacare. He posed with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy at the signing of that law. He was pro-choice and supported many progressive programs. Overall, he got high marks for getting things done.
Between the time he ended his service in the Bay State and when he decided to seek the presidency, Romney did some serious soul-searching. His father, George, was also a moderate Republican who failed to become his party's candidate for president because the right wing ripped apart his candidacy. Then, like now, a middle-of-the-road Republican has no chance of getting to the White House.

Master Chief ain't special. I mean, consider his drab green—it clashes with everything! Cmon buddy, don't you know orange is in right now? Your armor needs to match the new weapons you're carrying around. This is basic fashion 101 right here.
Luckily, our Spartans don't have to be unfashionable. Thanks to the customization options available in Halo 4's multiplayer, we can have all sorts of different characters running about. The one above is mine—I like to go for the cleaner, elegant look, with a small touch that says "I'm dangerous." Something like that, anyway.
What about you, what does your Spartan look like? You can either take a picture on your TV (theater mode allows you to take screenshots), or you can head down to Halo Waypoint like I did. Once there, you can log in—first timers will have to link their Windows Live account. Once that's done, check out your Service Record—a profile of your Spartan should be there for screenshot purposes. Show us!

There's a lovely passage about parenting tucked inside "A Hologram for the King," Dave Eggers' 2012 novel about a lost soul whose midlife setbacks mirror those of recession-ravaged America.
The book, dubbed "Death of a Globalized Salesman" by The New York Times, is only tangentially about parenting; the protagonist, Alan Clay, pens tortured letters to his daughter, Kit, whom he can no longer afford to send to college. But a portion of one letter has me questioning the way I'm raising my kids.
Kit, you know the key to relating to your parents now? It's mercy. Children, when they become teenagers and then young adults, grow unforgiving. Anything but perfection is pathos. Children are judgmental on an Old Testament level. All errors are unforgivable, as if a contract of perfection has been broken. But what if one's parents are granted the same mercy, the same empathy as other humans?
Will my children grant me mercy?
Anything but perfection is pathos.
Where would they get that idea?
My kids harbor no illusions of my perfection. I asked them the other night at dinner, inspired by Eggers' book, which I just finished reading.
"You know how sometimes it's hard to see your parents as regular people who have feelings and make mistakes?"
They stared at me.
"How it sometimes seems like parents are supposed to be perfect?" I continued.
"Not really," my daughter answered. "You make mistakes all the time."
My husband stifled a laugh. I struggled to remember my point.
"And mistakes are OK, right? That's what I'm talking about!"
Again, the stares. This wasn't going as planned.
I guess kids know their parents aren't perfect. But do they know we're human?
"Parents have this desire to be so pleasing to their kids, and for their kids to never be uncomfortable or unhappy or disappointed or have a social setback or a bruised feeling," said family therapist Wendy Mogel, whom I called the next day. "It's a terrible agenda; good intentioned but impossible to achieve."
Many of us, she said, push aside our hobbies, our health, our identities to act as butler, Sherpa, concierge, ATM, short-order cook and talent agent to our kids. And then we wonder why we're exhausted. And a little ticked off.
"What happens so consistently is parents are nice, nice, nice, enraged," she said. "It becomes a mutual indignation competition, where the kids' currency is to complain about their parents, and the parents' currency is to feel demoralized about their children."
I would like to avoid this, I told her. What if I encourage them to ask me about my day when I pick them up from school?
"I'd rather hear them say 'please' and 'thank you' and not slam doors and not interrupt when you're on the phone," she says. "I'd rather have them flush the toilet and … not leave their shoes where someone can trip."
Well, me, too, obviously. What does this have to do with reminding them I'm human?
"The point is empathy and sensitivity and kindness to others," Mogel said. "It's about family citizenship and communal responsibility.
"It's careless and insulting on the part of the child and does not demonstrate empathy for parents if children aren't doing their part to keep operations running smoothly."
I think this is huge. We're teaching our kids how to live, which means growing their minds, stretching their imaginations and keeping them active, fed, balanced.
We're also teaching them how to love.
We get first crack at their hearts. They love us truly and, if we're lucky, for life. But there will be others — partners, friends, in-laws and, maybe, children of their own.
I want my kids to love with all their energy. I want them to love with compassion. I want them to know that errors are both inevitable and forgivable. I want them to show mercy.
If I don't teach them that, I'm not sure who will.

astrotim needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 60 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Oz Industries
Oz Industries offers services of carpentry, commercial interior fit outs, waste management solutions and strip outs (demolition).
The old logo can be seen here: http://www.astronautdesigns.com/cli…s/logo.jpg
The client has a forthcoming website for which the new logo will be used.
The commercial sector of the Australian building industry. Provide a professional and credible identity to existing clients.
The client will consider submissions of a modern redesign of the original logo (http://www.astronautdesigns.com/cli…s/logo.jpg), as well as new design concepts also.
The client likes the 'commercial aspect' concept of including a graphic element such as a crane, but is concerned that this could be limiting with regards to company expansion into other areas.
The client has referenced the words 'friendly' & 'sleek' & 'modern' to describe their desired branding.
The inclusion of the Australian country outline is not essential and if featured it should be used tastefully.
The client has referenced two websites ( http://www.jarvisbuilders.com.au & http://www.tqi.com.au ) and has commented that they like the 'sharpness' of these sites and would like to be able to incorporate the logo design into their forthcoming website design.

How to Use the Context
The workplaces described in this lesson reveal a good deal about the philosophies and interests of two successful early 20th-century businesspeople who stuck by their principles as they pursued their dreams: Madam C.J. Walker and James Cash Penney. Madam C.J. Walker (1867-1919) developed, manufactured, and sold formulas for hair care and other beauty products for African-American women. She began selling her homemade products door-to-door in 1905 in Denver, Colorado. She eventually distributed them nationwide (and even internationally) through mail-order and with the help of trained door-to-door sales representatives known as "Walker Agents." The business ultimately helped thousands of African-American women achieve financial success. In 1910, she headquartered her operation in Indianapolis, Indiana, a city with a thriving African-American community.
James Cash Penney (1875-1971) believed that working people in isolated regions in the West deserved to have dry goods stores nearby that would offer quality products at reasonable prices. He opened his first store, called the Golden Rule, in Kemmerer, Wyoming, in 1902. Soon he began establishing stores in other towns in Wyoming and then throughout the United States. He based his business on the principle, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This was unusual at a time when consumers often were faced with poor quality merchandise, fraudulent claims about quality, and deceptive pricing practices. Crucial to Penney's success were his associates (as he referred to his employees). He even helped many of his store managers become part owners of new stores. In 1913, the successful business was incorporated as the J.C. Penney Company. Today, J.C. Penney Company operates more than 1,100 stores in all 50 states.
Walker's and Penney's desire to provide people with high quality services and affordable merchandise may well have been based on personal experiences. Both grew up in small towns--Walker in truly poor surroundings in Louisiana and Mississippi, Penney in modest financial circumstances in Missouri. Both had to become self-reliant at very early ages and learned that hard work alone would not fulfill their aspirations. They both knew that their success depended on meeting the needs and desires of their customers, men and women much like themselves. They believed that part of their mission was to help others to succeed as they had done. Neither Walker nor Penney ever eased up on the prodigious amounts of work they performed. Both were still on the job when they died: Walker at the relatively early age of 51, and Penney at 95.

These Girls
(El-Banate Dol)
A film by
Tahani Rached
Egypt, 2006, 68 minutes, Color, DVD, Arabic, Subtitled
Order No. W07924
Screened to audiences at the Cannes, Toronto, and New York film festivals, this fresh, irresistibly lively, intensely engaging documentary from widely acclaimed Egyptian director Tahani Rached (SORA�DA, WOMAN OF PALESTINE and FOUR WOMEN OF EGYPT) follows a band of teenage girls living on the streets of Cairo. Rached won astonishing access to the girls� world; this vigorous, cinematic film is built upon the deep trust of its subjects and the long experience of the filmmaker. Already at a disadvantage as impoverished and abused girls in a Muslim society, they encounter rape, drug addiction, prostitution, pregnancy and motherhood on the streets. While the girls� troubles are not downplayed, neither are their courage, playfulness and vibrant camaraderie.
Rached brings alive the pulse of Cairo�s streets, offering an unsentimental portrait that avoids traps of guilt or cheap pity. What stands out is the strength and sheer joy that these girls project. With deft skill Rached reveals an invisible world and offers a loving homage to the inspirational, fierce girls who inhabit it.

There are many things happening in our lives which, and unless you are a professional sports person, will interfere with the training and even with the possibility to attend races you have been training for. In fact, some of them will even stop professionals of doing their jobs.
As a sports person (always wanted to call myself that..) one must be able to change and adapt, trying to efficiently use the time we have to maintain form and hopefully keep improving a little.
Some of us have to work. Firstly, because some of us like to work. Secondly, because some of us have to finance our sport but that is a matter for another topic. With work comes odd hours, travelling, lunches, Friday night drinks, etc. There is no perfect formula to juggle all that and keep the training going as efficiently as possible.
It might be training at odd hours of the day, I remember doing my rides in Cairns under the heat and humidity, in between 12 and 1pm and I know someone that was getting on the bike at 3 am in preparation for a 24h MTB event. The best example of adaptation I can recall is of a guy working on a navy ship while preparing for the Crocodile Trophy (toughest MTB race in Australia) where he raced as a domestique for Adam Hansen, the winner. He did most of his training on a wind-trainer while sailing the Pacific. So, it can be done.
Tips: shorter and higher intensity rides; wind-trainer; stationary bikes at hotels; swimming in hotel pools (or Pacific ocean); don't join the Air Force; get a part-time job; become a professional cyclist.
Tips: shorter and higher intensity rides; wind-trainer; stationary bikes at hotels; swimming in hotel pools (or Pacific ocean); don't join the Air Force; get a part-time job; become a professional cyclist.
This is a harder one because often means being off the bike, loosing precious form gained over weeks of hard training and having to make a decision of not racing that main event for the season. Looking at your program and seeing that I am down by 235 kms for the week takes me close to depression... Ok, been dramatic here but it is like: - S...t, how am I going to catch up?
Firstly, we shouldn't try to catch up on those kms. Remember, we have been sick, a 235 km ride will probably put us back in bed and in a sicker state than before. We need to get better before doing any intensity work and/or long km's. I still do sessions on the trainer, just to keep my legs moving and to sweat a little. It makes me feel better, physically and mentally.XXX
With injuries, if you can get on the bike and ride, ride! I remember being advised by more experienced cyclists than me to even race as soon as possible. I did that after a really bad crash a couple of years ago and worked, kind of made my recovery faster. Just remember to drop a grade if you do that... Crashes also do play with your mental state (specially on day 3).
Tips: Eat well to stay healthy; drink heaps; sleep more than 8 hours; take supplements; dress appropriately when in cold weather; take something to put on before you start your descent in cold days; eat more vegetables, fruit and nuts.
I will get on the bike if there is a VERY light drizzle, and after checking with BOM, but will stay in bed if it is rain what I can hear on the roof. It is one thing to get caught in the rain, I do enjoy riding in those conditions, but leaving the house when it is raining is something I leave for the real hard core riders and professionals. What's wrong with the wind-trainer, anyway?
We need to look into the safety aspect of it as well. Slippery roads, windy conditions, low visibility, equipment, are some of the factors we need to take in consideration when getting out in adverse weather conditions. But, as they say, it will make you a better rider as you might have to race in those conditions one day.
Tips: Get on the wind-trainer; check with BOM; dress appropriately; take lights;drink during the ride; drop tyre pressure in the wet; have a super feed when home; clean the bike well after the ride.
Family commitments
That can be hard. Although, I am 30,000 km away from my family, I do find the time to get on Messenger now and then and have a little time with my parents. Because of the time differences, I do miss out on some time on the bike now and then. Time to compromise. Family members have to be aware of what we do and why we do it. Let them know about your goals and how much will take to get to them. Let them know that we also miss out in things that we could be doing and they will be a little more understanding and supportive.
Tips: Move to a different country; ride to their place and/or family gatherings; let them know about the events coming up; ask for advice if you have someone in the family with mechanical, nutritional, medicinal, sports, witchery or any sort of knowledge you can relate to cycling.
University of Queensland and Trash
I took this photo last week while riding at the back of the Uni, in St Lucia. I just thought it was an odd site which made me think of so many different things at the time but I won't write them down and will leave it open for interpretations.

(loop for i from 1 to D for j from 1 to D
if (< (+ i j) (+ D 1))
(create_tree M N i j)
This gives a syntax error, however when I comment the "(create_tree M N i j)" line, this works. Please let me know what the problem is...
I believe the problem is calling a function inside a loop. More generally, is it possible to create a function inside a loop?

I think it may be too big for its own good. Sort of you can't be everything to all people. The other side of the coin is that this is the one opportunity for EFL professionals from the area to get together. As for the job fair, I thought it was pretty well organized and there was an broad range of employers. I do sort of wish some scheduling could be done before the conference, though, to save time and improve the conference attendees' flexibility. Regarding the presenters, I thought there was a wide range, some pitiful and some excellent. Keith Folse was brilliant and I thought the IT village was worth a visit or two. On a rather petty note, shouldn't coffee/tea be gratis?

I love free stuff myself, but most Gulf teachers are paid enough to afford to pay. Or were they price gouging? Considering how many new educational institutions that there are now, the growth doesn't surprise me. Was everything held at one hotel or was it spread all over Dubai? I was always fortunate to be able to attend purely for the social aspect - neither job searching nor presenting. But, it has been a few years now.

Perhaps it was just my luck, but from the go I found the organisation TESOL Arabia to be very unorganised. In an attempt to be organised myself, I registered in December and submitted my credit card details by fax. It wasn't until a few weeks before the conference that I realised I hadn't received anything. I promptly contacted TESOL Arabia and received no response. I contacted them again and was plainly told that there was no receipt of a charge to my credit card. Well, unlike some of my counterparts in other institutions, I had to pay for the conference on my own and take time off as personal time. I sent follow up emails explaining that I was enrolled in an MEd TESOl course delivered in Dubai, needed to attend, could not afford the phenomenal on site fee...no response. After a little arm twisting by my friend and I at the actual conference, they did concede as their records indicated I had registered, but not been charged, last December. I was happy enough with that. I then ventured into the job fair "room" to encounter someone else who had obviously experienced the same problem and me. 30 people were crowded in this little room trying to register, make appointments, etc.... all while this woman ranted and raved about the lack of organisation by TESOL Arabia and the volunteer's inability or lack or desire to proactively resolve what seemed to be a minor mistake on the part of another volunteer. There was no room to look at the postings, make an appointment...God help us all if there had been a fire! I don't mean to bitch and moan. I did see some good speakers but overcrowding and technical problems from non-compatible laptops seemed to plague every presentation I attended. One good thing did arise from the conference, I felt spurred on to present myself as some of the teachers working in the UAE presented badly researched and ill-prepared topics. Example? There was one individual discussing offensive course content (based on Islamic society standards) yet this person, after 10 years in the UAE, spoke no Arabic, claimed to know nothing of local television.... sigh. I suppose all conferences have the good and the bad. Perhaps I was just unlucky.

The Middle East is relatively unorganized. You need to understand that some of the people who are connected with TESOL Arabia in supporting roles do not hail from the first world and have little experience of the level of service that you or I might expect. I ran into some of the (understandably baffling) difficulties of the sort that you mention, but I didn't see anything unusual or particularly egregious -- just an average amount of ME foolishness. If you'll accept some advice, be prepared to shepherd every bit of paperwork through when you make a reservation, send in a payment, etc. Get e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and names; call people, check on everything, and check again. Always be polite. And if you're looking for work in the ME, hoo-ha!, hang onto your hat, 'cause there be a wild ride a-comin'! (This is not in any way a criticism of your criticism.)

2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
An expanded model line for the most popular Benz.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars were re-engineered from the ground up for the 2003 model year, and 2004 brings a vast expansion of the model line. Mercedes has redone its worldwide best-selling car with loads of new technology to go with its athletic new looks and much sharper, sportier driving dynamics. It's more like a BMW than ever before, but every inch a Mercedes-Benz.
The E-Class includes the V6-powered E320 sedan and the V8-powered E500 sedan. The E500 comes with a sophisticated new seven-speed automatic transmission. For 2004, Mercedes has introduced the fantastically useful and flexible E-Class wagon, available in E320 and E500 trim.
The new high-performance E55 AMG is the fastest-ever production car from Mercedes, boasting nearly 500 horsepower and a sports suspension. The E55 AMG, with its combination of acceleration, handling, braking and sheer accommodation, is the finest four-door sports car Mercedes-Benz has ever built, a car without cramped spaces, the quirks, the downsides or negatives that so many two-seater, two-door sports cars come with as standard equipment. In this family hauler, you can really haul. Direct competitors include the Audi RS6, the BMW M5, and the Jaguar XJR.
All-wheel drive is available for all 2004 E-Class models, a great feature for winter driving and quite useful in the rain. New appearance packages have been added as well to give the E-Class a sportier look.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes in three variants, the more popular V6-powered E320, the V8-powered E500, with its new 5.0-liter engine, and the supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter V8 in the E55 AMG high-performance sedan.
The E320 ($47,450) comes with the standard equipment buyers expect in this class, starting with fully automatic dual-zone climate control, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, 10-way power front seats, real walnut trim, a 10-speaker stereo, power windows with one-touch express operation up and down, auto-dimming mirrors and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
The E500 ($56,270) has been gaining sales ground on the E320 in recent years. For 2004, the V8's engine displacement has increased from 4.3 liters to 5.0 liters, with an increase of 29 horsepower to 302 at 5600 rpm. Besides more power, the E500 adds new standard equipment, including the industry's first seven-speed automatic transmission, a four-zone climate control system with separate temperature adjustments for both sides of the cabin, front and rear, and the new Airmatic Dual Control suspension.
All the options on E500 are also available on the E320, and there are dozens more offered on both cars. Extras include radar-controlled Distronic adaptive cruise control, which maintains a set distance from cars ahead; Keyless Go, a credit card-sized transmitter which allows unlocking the doors and starting the car by touching the door handle and the gear selector; Parktronic obstacle warning helps with parking and enhances safety by alerting the driver to objects in front of and behind the car. Also available: DVD-based GPS navigation, a in-dash information management system; voice operation for the phone, audio controls and navigation system; ventilated massaging seats; and solar-powered interior ventilation for those hot summer days when the car is parked for long periods. There's even a power trunk closer.
As mentioned, E320 and E500 wagons are now available. Equipped with three rows of seats, the wagon has a power liftgate and a cargo organizer as standard, with a slide-out load floor optional. Roof racks, bike racks, ski racks and cargo boxes abound on the wagon option list. The 4Matic all-wheel-drive system comes on all E500 wagons and is available on the E320.
The E55 AMG ($78,370) was performance-tuned by subsidiary AMG with a supercharged and intercooled V8 producing 493 horsepower, a manually controllable 5-speed automatic transmission, bigger tires, wheels and brakes, and retuned suspension, with appropriate AMG interior and exterior markings, style and badging throughout.
No new Mercedes would be complete without safety advances. E-Class cars come standard with eight airbags (dual front airbags, side bags for front and rear, and head-protection curtains that run the length of the cabin on both sides). The E-Class employs a new (for 2003) airbag management system with more impact sensors, designed to more precisely control the timing and rate of deployment. The system accounts for the weight of a front-seat passenger, and controls seat belt pretensioners according to the force of impact.
Though it looks sportier, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class is slightly larger than the pre-2003 models. It's about an inch longer in wheelbase and overall length and a half-inch taller in overall height than the 2002 model. It's also 50-150 pounds heavier, depending on model, given more standard equipment and improved crash protection. The E-Class is the first Mercedes to use aluminum body components extensively, starting with the hood, front fenders, trunk lid, front crossmember and front subframe, 10 percent by weight, with 37 percent of the car made up of high-strength steel, almost twice as much as before.
The four-headlight theme introduced on the previous E-Class, now the standard at Mercedes, has been refined in the new car. The new front end is lower and is more steeply raked. The design produces a class-leading 0.27 coefficient of drag (minimizing wind noise and maximizing fuel economy), but the E55 AMG offers slightly more drag, if you can call 0.28 drag, with its extra body add-ons.
The E-Class has an attractive Mercedes interior. The dashboard sweeps from each side and blends into the doors and center console. Wood trim is complemented by splashes of chrome throughout. The plastic panels, quite rich in the old E-Class, are even better in this latest generation thanks to a new soft-touch finishing process. All are sprayed with a polyurethane coating that delivers impressively consistent color and appearance.
The instrument cluster uses black script on white gauges with LED lighting and beautifully crafted real wood trim, and a three-spoke steering wheel. There's a big speedometer in the middle, with a menu-operated display for diagnostics, feature selection, ambient temperature, date and other information at the center screen. To the left sits a large analog clock, to the right the tachometer. On either end of the cluster are neat bar gauges that resemble thermometers, displaying fuel level and coolant temperature.
A cluster of switches between the visors on the headliner controls cabin lighting and the Tele-Aid SOS call button. The panel also includes a switch to operate the sunroof, with the HomeLink package located on the bottom of the rearview mirror. Redundant controls on the steering wheel hub operate the phone, radio and information display.
The main audio, telephone and navigation controls are in a new COMAND module with a 16:9 ratio screen proportion. Centered around the new LCD display screen, the system is a big improvement over the previous system. A single row of switches operates door locks, flashers and seat heaters. The console has a funky pop-up cupholder and a large storage bin (two bins if you don't order the telephone package). There are storage bins in each door and map pockets on the front seat backs.
The 10-way adjustable front bucket seats are firm enough for good support when driving fast, but not hard on the back when you're cruising along. The sporty seats grip firmly, and there's more than enough adjustment using Mercedes' door-mounted seat controls to accommodate just about everyone.
Our gripes? The Mercedes cruise control is managed with a stalk on the left side of the steering column, above the turn signals. On the new E-Class, the cruise stalk may be even closer to the turn signals than before, and at some point, no matter how long you've driven the car, you are going to hit the cruise control when you intend to turn on the blinker. Mercedes engineers insist that theirs is the most effective cruise-control operation going. We've yet to meet anyone who prefers it. On the other hand, we've met few people who dislike the cruise control to the point that they'd overlook all the strengths of a Mercedes-Benz.
Also, the new E-Class features ambient cabin lighting, the latest trend in interior design. These strips of soft, low-level cabin lighting in the headliner remain on during darkness, like a fancy nightlight in the bathroom. Initially, at least, it's disconcerting while driving at night, because we're used to nothing but the instrument lights. The distraction goes away as you become accustomed, but we're still not convinced of the benefits.
On the plus side, the E-Class now has an indicator that lets the driver know if any of the doors are ajar and, if so, which one.
The back seat has all the comforts you'd want. There are separate air vents for both sides, a fan-speed switch and separate temperature adjustments for rear passengers; a 12-volt power point; reading lamps; a wide, fold-down center armrest with cupholders and divided storage. Headrests are provided for all three rear seating positions, and they can be retracted remotely when there's no one riding in back for greater rear vision. Speaking of which, the outside mirrors are small, limiting the field of view somewhat.
The trunk is one of the largest in the class. With 15.9 cubic feet of space, the E-Class has more cargo volume than.
Driving Impression
The Mercedes E-Class cars are really quiet. There's very little vibration anywhere in the cabin, and almost no wind noise. Even the high-performance E55 AMG is so quiet that the driver forgets just how powerful, quick and fast it is until full throttle is explored.
Performance from the E320 is somewhat disappointing. Its 3.2-liter V6, which produces 221 horsepower and 232 pounds-feet of torque, lacks the responsiveness of the E500. However, the E320 cruises well at high speeds and the V6 is smooth and quiet from idle to the 6000-rpm redline. The E320 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, according to Mercedes.
The E500 is much more responsive than the E320. Most of this is due to its more powerful engine. The acceleration performance from the E500's V8 is truly impressive. Acceleration-producing torque matters more than horsepower numbers for most drivers, and in this class the E500 is hard to beat. You'll notice when you step on the gas. This V8 is nice and smooth from idle to the 6000-rpm redline. And the E500 flies. At a stoplight or from 70 mph, there's a deep well of torque underfoot, and plenty of acceleration. From the seat of the pants, the E500 feels like the quickest car going among mid-size luxury sedans. Mercedes engineers say it's even quicker than the 500E, a limited-production, purpose-built sports sedan developed with Porsche in the early 1990s and still revered by auto enthusiasts today. Mercedes sticks with its tried and true single-cam, three-valve technology for all of its E-Class cars, which may help explain slightly lower specific output than some competitors (horsepower per liter of displacement). The 5.0-liter engine in the E500 produces 302 horsepower at 5600 rpm, but, more important, it generates 339 pounds-feet of torque that's available from 2700 to 4250 rpm. Translation: quick response whenever you hit the gas. The E500 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, according to Mercedes.
Engine performance in the E55 AMG is truly impressive, with huge amounts of torque available from idle to over 5000 rpm, and peak torque over 500 foot-pounds. Its 469 horsepower comes partly from a Lysholm screw-type supercharger and intercooler plus the latest in ME 2.8 engine control electronics. No matter where or when you stab the throttle the E55 AMG just flat flies. Mercedes says it will go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and can reach an electronically controlled top speed of 155 mph in a little over half a minute. Yet, like the other E-Class engines, the supercharged V8 is always quiet and smooth from idle to the 6000-rpm redline.
For 2004, E500 sedan and wagon benefit from a new seven-speed automatic, the world's first. It quickens acceleration performance and response yet enhances fuel efficiency when compared to the five-speed automatic, itself a responsive and efficient transmission. Gear changes are barely noticeable, especially in the higher gears. This new transmission allows significantly quicker acceleration for highway passing situations. And it doesn't have to go through every gear: Step on the gas and the transmission will skip down to the appropriate gear, switching from seventh to fifth, for example, and from there directly to third, two downshifts instead of four.
The five-speed automatic transmission that comes in the E320 and E55 AMG shifts quickly up and down through the gears, though it sometimes seems slow to respond in the E320. It doesn't hunt back and forth for the right gear, even in hilly terrain, and it rarely shifts unless the driver changes the angle of the gas pedal, both of which are good. When the driver prefers, an auto-manual shift mechanism allows a high level of control over gear selection. Toggling the shifter left or right, the transmission shifts quickly up and down through the gears. The system will hold the selected gear indefinitely just below the 6000-rpm redline, but it won't let you bump the engin.
The appeal of a mid-size luxury sedan lies in a combination of safety, luxury, practicality, sportiness, status, and cost of operation that no other category can match. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has always been a benchmark in this class. For 2004, the E-Class offers a huge range of choice, with the well-behaved and utilitarian station wagons, a seven-speed transmission, an all-wheel-drive system, and the ultra high-performance E55 AMG.
Our choice in this model line is the E500 for its responsiveness and overall balance.

BOSTON, Mass. - Despite a game-high 23 points from junior Gregory Young (Boston, Mass.) men's basketball was unable to get past the Panthers of Plymouth State University as they were handed a 63-54 Little East Conference loss Tuesday evening in the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium.
With Tuesday's loss the Beacons fell to 5-7, 0-4 in the Little East Conference. For the Panthers they earned their first win over UMass Boston since the 2011-12 season and improved their record to 8-5, 2-2 in the conference.
Young's day was solid from start to finish as the junior forward continues to put together an impressive 2014. From the field he finished 8-for-16, with four of those coming from behind the arc. At the line he finished 3-for-8. He also grabbed six boards, and picked-up four steals.
Plymouth State was led by three double-figure scorers with Petey Skevas finishing with a team-best 19 points. The conference's top playmaker entered Tuesday's contest ranked tied for 11th in the country in assists per game as he totaled five assists to help his team to the victory.
Alongside the guard were Alex Burt and Curtis Arsenault who each dropped in 12 points. Arsenault was also one of three Panthers to pull down a game-high six rebounds as Plymouth State dominated the glass finishing with a 41-25 advantage in boards.
The first half was a back-and-forth exchange which saw the two teams exchanging control of the lead a total of nine times. Plymouth State would trail only once in the second half as they used an exploded offensively to open up the final frame.
What was a one-point game at half with the Beacons leading 30-29 quickly turned into a 10-point lead in favor of the visitors in the first six minutes of the second. The 13-2 run gave Plymouth State all the momentum they needed. UMass Boston did cut the lead down to five with less than seven minutes to play after Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) hit a jumper.
Joseph closed out Tuesday's contest with 11 points, including a huge alley oop dunk off of a pass from Omar Benabicha (Saugus, Mass.). The Brockton native also had one block and one assist as well.
Unfortunately Arsenault would record five straight points (1 field goal, 2 free throws) to push the Panthers lead to nine. Young cut it back to six on a huge 3-pointer, but with Arsenault and Skevas firing on all cylinders the Beacons could to not retake the lead.
Men's Basketball returns to action on Thursday when they travel to Bridgewater State University for a 7:30 p.m. non-conference game.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake kdelibs5-dev libeigen2-dev libcfitsio3-dev
Please note that INDI is unavailable in Debian testing as of this writing.
KStars development happens on KDE's git repository. (Git is an open-source version control software.). The code on git is the bleeding-edge developers' version of KStars. It does break occasionally.
To fetch the KStars source code:
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kstars
