Lauren Daigle gets creative during coronavirus lockdown
It's a clever video of Lauren Daigle's popular song Still Rolling Stones. Daigle has released a Zoomified version of the hit.
While churches and all other organizations have been forced to work out how to manage without a live crowd, so have musicians. They have all been getting creative, as is evidenced in Daigle's video below.
Daigle performed the song last year on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'.
"I had so much fun with all my bandmates putting this together for you!" she said on Instagram. "From all of us, we hope you enjoy the social distancing version of "Still Rolling Stones"!"
I had so much fun with all my bandmates putting this together for you! From all of us, we hope you enjoy the social distancing version of "Still Rolling Stones"! ?

The Zoom version would have taken quite some work, but musicians, surrounded by some of the most creative people around, probably have an easier road to create such videos than many others.
in addition to this, the lockdown is a chance for musicians to get their digital affairs in order and work out how to do an even better job at connecting with their fans on social media.
Daigle also posted this lockdown video to Instagram, which at the tome of publishing, had been seen by more than 877,000 people.
This song has ironically taken on a whole new meaning… ? As a reminder to "not go anywhere", check out this vid and a new tie-dye merch bundle! [link in bio]

5 errors generated.

If I delete the #include <iterator> or move it after the #include <boost/move/iterator.hpp>, the errors dissapear.
Question: Is this simply a byproduct of Boost libraries (Boost Move, in particular, apparently) not being prepared for Modules with Clang module map files?  Could this be a bug with the module map files Clang has now implemented for libc++, or even a bug in the modules implementation itself?
Interestingly, I can get the error to go away by commenting out lines 28-28 of boost/move/detail/iterator_traits.hpp:
// #include <boost/move/detail/std_ns_begin.hpp>
// BOOST_MOVE_STD_NS_BEG

A: I believe this was caused by an issue with libc++'s module.modulemap, which I fixed yesterday in r289028. This bug caused the _LIBCPP_VERSION macro to not be exported by libc++ when modules are enabled.
After looking at boost/move/detail/iterator_traits.hpp it seems that if _LIBCPP_VERSION is not defined it will miss-configure and end up declaring entirely different definitions of the iterator tags. (Specifically it will define them directly in namespace std and not in libc++'s versioning namespace).
If you re-build LLVM and libc++ it should fix your issue. If not feel free to file a bug.
PS. It seems I'm just one step ahead.

A: I can only speak for boost 1.59.1 at the moment, but it clearly also makes the assumption that libc++ can only be encountered when building with clang :
#if defined(__clang__) && defined(_LIBCPP_VERSION)
// ...
#else
// ...
#endif

That provokes the (almost) exact same error as shown above, even on Mac OS X 10.9 which has a libc++ that predates the introduction of the libc++ regression that caused the issue discussed in this thread.

Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled: Objects Of Desire
The sudden arrival of an injured Union soldier at a southern girls' boarding school in Virginia during the American Civil War leads to an entertaining turn of events, including sex, betrayal, and jealousy. Corporal John McBurney (Colin Farrell) is that Union soldier, and he finds himself a convict and on the run from the Union Army as a deserter in the 1860s. Seeking refuge and urgent medical help, the women of the Southern boarding school seem all too eager to assist him in his affairs. However, it does not take long for rivalries and agendas to take precedence, as numerous members of this educational institution try to offer him comfort, companionship and other things.
Written and directed by a woman (Sofia Coppola) and starring women in strong female roles, this is certainly the next addition in 2017's lineup of empowering films about women and arguably feminist ones. And this is one of the better remakes of recent times. I say better, I mean truly excellent. Based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Cullinan / the 1971 screenplay by Albert Maltz and Irene Kamp from the picture of the same name directed by Don Miguel (starring Clint Eastwood), Sofia Coppola's new film could be a period classic in the years to come. From the acting performances to the cinematography to the casting, The Beguiled is a fierce but elegant.
As Alicia, Elle Fanning plays that "young-and-always-horny-teenage-girl-stereotype" so well
(The Beguiled, Focus Features)
Found quivering in the woods by 'Miss Amy' (Pete's Dragon's Oona Laurence), he sweet-talks her into helping him get to the nearby school, her school. Principal Martha (Nicole Kidman) and her second, Edwina (Kirsten Dunst), are annoyed by his condition. It's an inconvenience. But they're Christian ladies in the South. They have to help him, or so their hearts tell them. Fate has given them this chance to show this foreigner Southern, Christian charity. And just because there's a war on, that doesn't necessarily mean that every person in the vast landscape of the South should kill all Union men on sight. And it's these acts of humanity that dropped in titbits throughout the film.
These female leads, include Elle Fanning (20th Century Women), Nicole Kidman (Lion) and Kirsten Dunst (Fargo), with Angourie Rice (Nice Guys) and Addison Riecke (The Thundermans): Edwina (Dunst), Martha (Kidman) and Alicia (Fanning) are depicted as objects of desire from the viewpoint of McBurney. But that feeling is reciprocated. And the dangers of war are pushed aside when a very real threat is thrust upon their doorstep, a danger that has the ability to pit these characters against each other through one of the most volatile things ever created, the human heart (love). Love has killed more than any disease, and will kill again, The Beguiled repetitively proves that.
Nicole Kidman as Martha is one those times when an actor / actress becomes their character
When Martha decides not to turn McBurney over to the Confederate soldiers, the school is excited. And subsequently allows him to work the garden when he's back to health, bringing in admirers from every nook and cranny, as well as being watched from over hedges and behind shrubs. He's a deviant, but they don't know that. He manipulates, even the children like Miss Amy (Oona Laurence). And there's lots of entertainment value in the dinners and musical performance, that may begin to rival the Granthams at Downton with their Turkish Fiasco early on in the series. This may be America, but there are just as many zingers as any, great, English, period costume drama.
We have a scintillating staircase sequence. There's sprawling beads from a yanked necklace. Gunfire floors a chandelier. And we have many elements of black comedy, much of it from Kidman's expert comedic timing. "Bring me the anatomy book" she says. In the next moment we can find McBurney saying: "What have you done to me, you vengeful bitches?" It's dialogue like this that left me with a ruptured spleen. "Vengeful bitches" maybe a little on the nose, but it's so southern, regardless if it's being said by Colin Farrell in his native Northern Irish accent. "Would you cay-uh for a digestif, corporal?" left me with tears streaming down, great dialogue indeed.
It starts with smiles, but human nature will always reveals itself when at its most vulnerable
The Beguiled is very Daphne du Maurier, and if they were to remake Rebecca, I'd go as far as to cast Nicole Kidman as Mrs Danvers without an audition. No actress (or actor) puts a foot wrong. The sets are beautiful and the execution is on point. The Beguiled is in my top ten films of the year and I believe there it will stay for what is left of what has already been a good year for arts and culture indeed.
Would you cay-uh for more high quality period dramas? Yes, I don't mind if I do

GALLIPOLIS — A Columbus resident was recently arrested by the Ohio State Highway Patrol and charged with first-degree drug trafficking charges and first-degree felony cocaine possession charges with his case being bound over to Gallia County Common Pleas Court from Gallipolis Municipal Court, Monday.
Danjuman Marshall, 36, was pulled over in a traffic stop in late December. Roughly 87 grams of cocaine was found as the result of a search where Marshall was a passenger, according to complaint filings. Marshall reportedly admitted to ownership of the drugs which were hidden in the engine compartment and split among several bags.
Marshall bond was set at $350,000 with a 10 percent surety.
According to Gallia County Court of Common Pleas records, Marshall was previously found guilty by a jury in 2009 of trafficking in drugs and possessing drug as a felony of the second-degree. He was sentenced to eight years with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

Q: VB.Net Color Variation like in Autoit I have a simple pixelsearch function searching for a certain Argb Color on screen.
This already works great and it finds the pixel with the color but I would like to add a Color Variation detection to it.
The Color of the pixel it should detect changes sometimes from (255, 100, 100, 100) to (255, 110, 94, 102) or something else (values are changing 10 points). Now the Pixelsearch function should have a Variationdetection so it would detect pixels with a near similar color so instead of only searching for color (255, 100, 100, 100) it should also search for (255, 101, 99, 102)... and more.
Is it possible to code that instead of Dim each Color and search for it?
Thats the code that I have already:
Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork

    Dim xd3 = Color.FromArgb(255, 100, 100, 100) 'Searching for this color on the screen

    Dim b As New Bitmap(2210, 1100)  'Position of Bitmap
    Dim g As System.Drawing.Graphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(b)
    g.CopyFromScreen(Me.Left, Me.Top, 0, 0, b.Size) 'Searching on Screen

    For i = 0 To (Me.Width - 0) 'searching each pixel
        For j = 0 To (Me.Height - 0) 'searching each pixel
            If b.GetPixel(i, j) = xd3 Then 'If pixel has same color that im searching for it will show a messagebox true
                MessageBox.Show("true")
            End If
        Next
    Next

End Sub

A: I suggest something like this :
If Color_Is_In_The_Target_Variations(10, b.GetPixel(i, j), xd3) Then
    MessageBox.Show("true")
End If

and
Private Function Color_Is_In_The_Target_Variations(variation As Integer, tested As Color, target As Color) As Boolean

    If tested.R >= target.R - variation And tested.R <= target.R + variation And
    tested.G >= target.G - variation And tested.G <= target.G + variation And
    tested.B >= target.B - variation And tested.B <= target.B + variation Then

        Return True
    Else
        Return False

    End If

End Function

This past Friday evening, I had the wonderful privilege of participating in the 8th annual Hair of the Dog Wine Tasting and Art Show. The evening was a benefit for the MSPCA at Nevins Farm. The MSPCA is an amazing organization that I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work closely with – and I was thrilled to be a part of such an important cause.
My incredible father came out to support my little business venture. I couldn't have been happier to have him.
Oh, and also – there was my ridiculously amazingly huge wall sized prints!
An overwhelming Thank You to David Sarracino of Burnsides Photography and Imaging for printing those for me!
I had various prints and products for sale and about a gah-zillion business cards to give out!
And my fancy new vinyl sign had just finished printing the day before! I was so thrilled to get to use it!
A few weeks prior to the show, I was asked if I would be interested to get involved in the MSPCA's 'Angels for Animals' campaign.
So, I spent some time at Nevins Farm photographing the various animals in the adoption center who are in need of surgery and/or medical attention.
My heart melted for them all. It all comes back around to why I do the volunteer work with shelter animals that I do — I want to be a voice for the voiceless.
These sweet, helpless animals need us – and they have no way of expressing that with their own voice.
I photographed specific cats, birds, rabbits, dogs and even guinea pigs that are in desperate need of medical attention.
For the 'Angels for Animals' display, the animals' photos and individual stories were set atop easels and displayed in the center of the room.
Nevins Farm utilized these images to collect donations from attendees to go directly towards the care of these animals and their unique problems.
I have to say – in regards to working with shelter animals – that I have never done anything more rewarding in my entire life.
To be able to help save the lives of animals in whatever small way I can is the best reason for living.
And here I am with some of the amazing staff members of the MSPCA at Nevins Farm.
It was a truly wonderful night. If there was any other creature that I would want to hang with besides animals – it would be animal lovers. And that's exactly what this event turned out to be – an incredible night full of warm-hearted, generous people coming together for a common cause.
Signing off until next time!

Mikuláš Teich's new book draws on 60 years of scholarship. In it he develops an original thesis that the scientific revolution is both a factor in and a product of wide-ranging societal transformation. [...] The scientific revolution is a part of our common heritage. Understanding how it came about and continues to unfold should be part of the professional formation of every scientist, engineer and educationist.
The writer offers a principled interpretation of what influenced the completion of the Scientific Revolution. As everything has a history, so does science. Teich employs the classical chronological method, and presents each chapter, theme or concept in historical context. First, he points to the roots of the Scientific Revolution in classical times. Then follow the milestones in the history of the Scientific Revolution... Teich's book appeals because the style of writing is direct and simple. Moreover, it invites the reader to consider themes necessary for the understanding of the Scientific Revolution.
The Scientific Revolution Revisited brings Mikuláš Teich back to the great movement of thought and action that transformed European science and society in the seventeenth century. Drawing on a lifetime of scholarly experience in six penetrating chapters, Teich examines the ways of investigating and understanding nature that matured during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, charting their progress towards science as we now know it and insisting on the essential interpenetration of such inquiry with its changing social environment. The Scientific Revolution was marked by the global expansion of trade by European powers and by interstate rivalries for a stake in the developing world market, in which advanced medieval China, remarkably, did not participate. It is in the wake of these happenings, in Teich's original retelling, that the Thirty Years War and the Scientific Revolution emerge as products of and factors in an uneven transition in European and world history: from natural philosophy to modern science, feudalism to capitalism, the late medieval to the early modern period.
With a narrative that moves from pre-classical thought to the European institutionalisation of science – and a scope that embraces figures both lionised and neglected, such as Nicole Oresme, Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, Isaac Newton, René Descartes, Thaddeus Hagecius, Johann Joachim Becher – The Scientific Revolution Revisited illuminates the social and intellectual sea changes that shaped the modern world.
The co-editor of Revolution in History (1986), The Renaissance in National Context (1992), The Scientific Revolution in National Context (1992), and Nature and Society in Historical Context (1997), Mikuláš Teich was Emeritus Fellow of Robinson College, Cambridge and Honorary Professor at the Technical University of Vienna.

Home Awards Barbra Streisand to Sing at Oscars for First Time in 36 Years
Barbra Streisand to Sing at Oscars for First Time in 36 Years
Holy moly! Barbra Streisand will sing at the Oscars for the first time in 36 years.
Streisand last sang the love theme from "A Star Is Born" on the March 28, 1977 show, winning the Best Original Song Oscar for "Evergreen" that same night.
"In an evening that celebrates the artistry of movies and music," said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, "how could the telecast be complete without Barbra Streisand? We are honored that she has agreed to do a very special performance on this year's Oscars."
The press release the Academy just sent out reminds us that Streisand won her first Oscar for Best Actress in "Funny Girl" (1968), and was nominated again in 1973 for her lead performance in "The Way We Were."
She was also nominated for producing the Best Picture nominee "The Prince of Tides" (1991), which she also directed, and for co-writing the original song "I Finally Found Someone" from "The Mirror Has Two Faces" (1996).
This year Streisand co-starred with Seth Rogen in the road trip film "The Guilt Trip," in which she didn't sing a note to the disappointment of many fans.
The Academy has promised the Oscar telecast would celebrate movie musicals, and with Streisand's name added to the list that already includes Norah Jones and Adele, they are delivering.
Now we're wondering who else will be in the mix, although no one could top this powerhouse trio of women performers.
Who else would you like to see perform at the Oscars?

How about Dick Van Dyke performing "Chim Chim Cher-ee"? That won in 1964. Or maybe a collage of Oscar-winning songs from the classic musicals, like "It Might as Well be Spring," "Over the Rainbow" and "Swinging on a Star." That would be awesome.

I'm thrilled that Streisand will be singing at the Oscars. Any time I get to see her perform I consider it a treat. As an aside, I was extremely disappointed with her latest movie, though. It didn't even elicit one laugh from me…too bad.

Head Coach Andy Reid
Injury Report: "Those players not practicing today are (DE) Victor (Abiamiri), (G) Shawn Andrews, (LB) Stewart Bradley and (T) Jon Runyan. (TE( L.J. Smith is going to test it out and see what he can do. (RB) Brian Westbrook will be limited, we're going inside today."
Opening Remarks: "Again, we look forward to the opportunity of playing the Vikings. (They are) a very good football team and very well coached, and they have great talent on that team. (It's) a loud place to play. We will prepare ourselves for those things this week and our guys are excited about it. It's all Minnesota. It's not what happened last week, the week before, or anything in the future. It's about the Minnesota Vikings. That's where all of our energy will be put. I know there are going to be a lot of Eagles fans there, and I know there is an opportunity for more of them to be there. And I know that they will find their way there, and we welcome every one of them that we can have sitting in the Hubert Humphrey dome there. They brought great energy to us last week."
On whether there is any concern about Bradley and Runyan's availability Sunday: "No. I think they'll be fine."
On whether he thinks that the running backs they have faced in the NFC East this year have helped them prepare for Vikings RB Adrian Peterson: "Again, you are talking about, if not the best, surely one of the top two best runners in the National Football League and potentially the MVP of the National Football League. He's a heck of a player. I'm not sure exactly how you can prepare for him. However, to answer your question, it doesn't hurt to have been in the NFC East and/or played the teams that we've played this season coming against some good runners. He's a special player. The quarterback, he also can run, and Peterson's backup, he can run. So, you have a few guys there in that backfield that are very capable of carrying the football."
On whether facing the Vikings and Peterson last year has helped them prepare for this Sunday's game:"I think (Peterson's) a better player this year. I think their whole team is better even though it's basically the same guys. I just think they are a better football team all the way around, more familiar with the system. We did not face their quarterback last year, and I think that he has a big arm, a very strong arm. He has a new wide receiver out there that can fly. He has a tight end that has adapted to their offense very well, and he can, also, you have the threat of him being able to run the football."
On whether facing Vikings DE Jared Allen is equally as tough as facing Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware: "Jared Allen is a great player, as is DeMarcus. You are talking about two of the better pass rushers in the National Football League, so you have to take extra concern about blocking him and just be aware of where he is and his game. However, they have a couple of other guys that are pretty good, too, that you've also got to watch out (for). They have a few Pro Bowlers on the defensive front."
On how RB Brian Westbrook will match up against the Vikings' rush defense: "That's why I always reserve room for saying that he might be the best or one of the best because I'm a little partial to Brian because of the things that he does for our football team. I think Brian is a proud football player and a very good football player, so he'll take this as a challenge, as they will, trying to stop Brian. He's a heck of a player."
On facing Vikings head coach Brad Childress in the first round of the playoffs: "Well, I wish I wasn't seeing Brad in the first round but I am proud of him. (Vikings defensive coordinator) Leslie Frazier is doing a great job for them, who is also a potential head football coaching candidate as is (Giants defensive coordinator) Steve (Spagnuolo) up in New York. And then (Ravens head coach John) Harbaugh has done a great job in the AFC. These are all top-notch guys and great coaches, so I'm proud of them. I'm very fortunate to have been able to have them here."
On how he expects QB Donovan McNabb to come out and play Sunday: "I think Donovan's in a great place mentally and physically. I think he's managing the football team very well, and I think he'll prepare like crazy this week. He's got experience in the playoffs, so he'll manage it. He understands what goes into it. Once you get yourself in the playoffs you are playing top quality football teams and in his case, preparing for top, quality defense. I left (Chargers defensive coordinator) Ron Rivera out of your list, too, who is tremendous also."
On whether he has spoken to any of these coaches this week: "I talked to them early. I won't talk to them anymore. I talked to them earlier in the week, yeah."
On what influence he thinks Childress had on McNabb: "I thought Brad was a great influence on Donovan. I thought both of them grew together in this offense. Brad was familiar with it having been at (University of) Wisconsin(-Madison) when I was at Green Bay. He would come up and visit, but he hadn't coached in necessarily this offense, and so, they were able to kind of grow in it together. Brad was very demanding but was also very fair with Donovan and loved him up when he needed the loving up and was tough on him when he needed a little kick there, which he doesn't need very often."
On whether he thinks Childress has an advantage because he knows McNabb's strengths and weaknesses:"I guess. Donovan doesn't have very many glaring weaknesses where he sits right now in his career. I'm sure Brad has some opinions there that he'll share with Leslie."
On Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson: "Tarvaris has an absolute rifle of an arm, and he's a very intelligent kid and he loves to play. He just went through what quarterbacks do when they are young. He went through growing pains and he had a couple of injuries thrown in there. Right now he's playing as good of football as he's ever played. He was unbelievable against Arizona late in the year here. I mean unbelievable and he's been as hot as they come the last few weeks."
On what FS Brian Dawkins means to this team:"Brian brings a tremendous amount of leadership, stability, intensity. He's an honest guy, a great person, and as a good a football player as he is, that's the kind of person he is, even better."
On whether he thinks the criticism that Dawkins received in the beginning of the year was fair and whether he thinks that criticism prompted him to have the Pro Bowl year that he had: "I think that, unfortunately, that comes with age. You're going to be put under the microscope. Hey listen, as a football player you are going to make mistakes. There will be plays where it doesn't work for you no matter how old you are. The older you are the more that gets magnified I think. But he just kept working through it. He's such a determined guy. He's focused in on his game. He's worked as hard as you can work this offseason. He didn't think he played very well the year before, and I think this year he's just come out and put together a Pro Bowl season. This wasn't a gift. This is something that he earned, and obviously, the respect of the players around the league and so on. Brian's not out there asking for ballots, or votes on the ballots, so he earned this and it's very well-deserved."
On whether he will address the players on the team that will play in their first playoff game Sunday about how to handle their emotions: "I talked to them. I talked to them. Thank goodness for veteran players and veteran coaches. They are able to also talk to them. I said what I wanted to say to them and I'll leave it at that, and they'll understand by the time we get there."
On how hard it is for a young guy to push all the hype aside and just go out and play their game: "Everything is a little bit more intense. You have to focus in. You're on the road, so you have focus in even a little bit more. Make sure that you are sharp in practice. Obviously, you can't wait until you get there, and you can't get caught up in all the hype and all those things that go on during the week. Not quite as many games being played this weekend, so you get a little bit more media attention and you just put all that aside and focus in on what you can control and what you can get better at and that's the gameplan."
On whether having guys like CB Asante Samuel, FB Dan Klecko and LB Tank Daniels, who have won Super Bowls, add value to the locker room: "Sure. It's great to have those guys, great to have them aboard. Absolutely."
On whether they have faced a defense this year that resembles the Vikings' defense: "Well, their run defense is tough. They are #1 in the National Football League. Have we gone up against some pretty good run defenses? Yes. They have those two inside tackles, I think, are two of the best in the business and they have been for a number of years. We played against both of them last year, it's tough to run inside there but your inside three have to pick up their game a little bit."
On how having or not having DT Pat Williams would affect the Vikings: "The other kid has stepped in. He has done a very respectable job. He's a different kind of player. He's very quick and he plays a different game, but he is also very effective. He's done a nice job for them."
On whether he feels reenergized this year having made the playoffs after not making the playoffs last year: "I'm good, man. I feel good. I feel great. It's close to lunch right now, so I'm feeling even better."

Patriots Fans Boo Their Team For Kneeling During Anthem - VIDEO
17 players on the New England Patriots knelt during the national anthem. This didn't sit well with their fans. Patriots fans boo their team for kneeling during the anthem.
The boos came in strong during the entire national anthem. 60,000 fans at Gilette Stadium were fed up with these entitled athletes refusing to respect their country and its servicemen and servicewomen.
Players across the NFL protested Sunday, after President Donald Trump, speaking at a rally Friday, encouraged people in Alabama to leave the game if players showed disrespect toward the U.S. flag and national anthem.
"... If you see it, even if it's one player, leave the stadium, I guarantee things will stop," Trump said. "Things will stop. Just pick up and leave. Pick up and leave. Not the same game anymore anyway."
Later in his speech, Trump ignited further controversy, saying that he wished NFL owners would take a more aggressive response to athletes who protest the Star Spangled Banner.
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now,'" Trump exclaimed. "'Out. He's fired. He's fired!'"
The Patriots' players who protested the national anthem on Sunday included James White, Stephon Gilmore, Brandin Cooks, Lawrence Guy, Alan Branch, Malcom Brown, Malcolm Butler, Brandon Bolden, Devin McCourty, Trey Flowers, Deatrich Wise, Jonathan Jones, Elandon Roberts, Duron Harmon, Adam Butler, Jordan Richards, Johnson Bademosi.
It looks like more and more players in the NFL are getting in on making a mockery of the "Star Spangled Banner." The thing is fans are tuning out the NFL in record numbers. It will be very interesting to see what the numbers look like for the TV viewership for week 3.

Some years ago, near Independence Spring, East of Moor, Nevada, a Chinese camp was found following a fire that destroyed the vegetation in the area. In that camp, best described as numerous depressions in the Earth, was broken Chinese pottery and many many opium cans.
The mystery was "how were the depressions covered?" What manner of tents were used?
The past 10 days were spent in Eastern Nevada attempting to unravel this mystery.
To this end, the attached photos are offered for your appraisal.
The first photo is a wooden structure, the highest point is no more than 20 inches, the width is 36 inches, the length is 5 feet. The depression under this structure is perhaps 10 inches deep.
Immediately to the left of this structure there is the remains of another similiar structure, but it has caved in, the wooden members are flat to the ground.
Two feet from the item pictured are four 'fish plates', that fit identically to CPRR 56 lb. rail. These four fish plates are shown in picture #2. Their use is unknown to this writer, I SUPPOSE they were used as weights to hold down a canvas tent, or perhaps to fashion a fire pit grill. I saw no ashes at that site.
These living quarters are about 3 miles EAST of Toano, Nevada, near the old grade.
Found lying on soil adjacent to these items were pieces of broken Chinese pottery; a soy sauce jar, broken blue on white porcelain bowls, and one musket ball, judged to be .30 caliber.
During the trip, I took over 80 photographs of this and other sites, these pictures will be displayed on the CPRR Museum site in a few weeks. Most pictures were taken within a short distance of the old CPRR grade, with the exception of a few pictures of mining 'ghost towns' and related relics.
Please note that all relics were left undisturbed, only pictures were taken.
I might be worthwhile to take a look at the Cultural Landscape report prepared for Golden Spike National Historic Site. It shows a few dwellings.
Rooting around the golden Spike web site especially in the "In Depth" section, there are a number of other interesting papers.
I had heard for many years of the existence of the tent frame in the Pequops, it was interesting to find it, along with the fish plates and remains of Chinese porcelain, opium cans and other items scattered in the vicinity. In all the other Chinese camps that I visited in the past week, only the depressions were evident, no other tent frames were found.
Also see a question about opium cans.

You are here: Home » American Voice » Free America Rally! No Amnesty!
On Saturday, February 23rd 2013, hundreds of nationalists from across America rallied to protest the replacement of our population that is occurring through current immigration policies, especially the blind-eye, hands-off attitude our government has taken toward the tens of millions of foreigners who are here in violation of immigration laws.
Holding coordinated demonstrations in nearly a dozen states, activists from the Free America Rally! project spent the afternoon in their respective communities providing Americans our perspective on national sovereignty that is obscured in the media.
By employing the admittedly low-tech (but time-tested) method of sidewalk demonstration to reach the thousands of passersby who must have seen our signs and banners from the road or who were given a pamphlet or two when approaching one of our booths, FAR project organizers were able to put together what has become a rare sight in recent decades (and one that at least has not been witnessed since a similar effort was coordinated by numerous FAR participants around this time last year), namely, hundreds of white Americans all over the country showing other white Americans it is okay to explicitly advocate on behalf of white political interests and that, in fact, others are doing it!
Saturday's largest Free America Rally demonstration took place at the steps of California's capitol building in downtown Sacramento where politicians, including William Johnson and American Freedom Party members, addressed a captivated audience of hundreds including local communist agitators. Speakers addressed the anti-White ideology that prevails in much of the established political climate, educational institutions, academia, and pop-cultural climate. Mr. Johnson was followed by several other speakers, each one having to make his or her voice heard above the chanted mantras of leftist counter-demonstrators, who willingly corroborated the leftist doctrines that we protested!
There happened also to be another rally at California's capitol building the very same day focusing on gun-rights and in protest of the legislation within the Federal Government that aims to strip Americans of the ability to defend ourselves and our families. Natural allies in the fight to ensure that future generations of Americans have opportunities similar to or better than those we experience today, numerous pro-2nd Amendment rally attendees came over to see what FAR's California demo was all about, luckily (wouldn't want to piss off those 2nd Amendment guys) expressing their sympathy with our position and enquiring how they might participate in future area events.
Saturday's other notable FAR events included a rally at West Virginia's capitol in Charleston, organized by Harry Bertram (American Freedom Party West Virginia chairman and 2011 special election candidate for governor), and a demonstration outside a federal building in Spokane, Washington. FAR activists also held less formal sign-waves or pamphlet distributions in Arizona, Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and at two locations in Tennessee. Although weather prohibited planned events in New Jersey and New York, FAR activists from both areas have committed to rescheduling and will be heard from in the next couple of weeks.
By all reports, every rally was met by a supportive overall reception, indicating a potentially welcoming political environment for whoever is brave enough to take hard but honest stances on the tougher issues facing our country.
It has been asked by several coordinators that mention be made of the supportive environment provided by local law enforcement at those demonstrations where FAR coordinators sought legal sanction to hold their rallies. While it is understood that certain Federal agencies essentially pander to Marxist lobby groups (such as the Southern Poverty Law Center) and anti-white ethnic advocacy organizations (such as the Anti-Defamation League), FAR participants and other seasoned patriotic activists know that the personal opinions held by individual police officers are usually distantly removed from anything anti-American.
Although it is impossible to predict how the future will unfold, trends and circumstances point to a difficult road ahead for our nation, not least of the reasons for our peril being the current general level of apathy on the part of our people, which is truly astonishing and must be unparalleled in all of our history. While things must change, of course, nothing has happened before its time, and efforts by intensely motivated but small groups have only ever succeeded when they mirrored the underlying sentiments of their friends and neighbors.
Everyone who attended rallies on the 23rd genuinely cares about our nation and is determined to make sure our people prosper into the extended future, and we will continue moving forward with our activism despite the odds and alone if need be, but it will greatly help our chances, motivation, and cool-factor if others begin to support and help what we are trying to accomplish.
Before periods of great change there is always a time when people are still afraid to speak their minds, though they believe change is necessary. It is at this point that cutting-edge activists step into the vacuum of unexpressed opinion and give voice to what everyone already feels and thinks but has yet to talk about or organize around politically. The Free America Rally project can be a spark that eventually sheds light on an otherwise darkening political environment, but we'll need your help.
What an encouraging story! I salute these patriots!
We had a good time in West Virginia and spread the word to many new people.
Action in this way or many other ways has a habit of growing and that is our goal.
So one and all get out there and spread the literature etc.
Give em Hell Harry! Good to see Americans wide awake here in the Mountain State and around the Union! American Nationalism Lives! God bless.
I'm from West Virginia and just joined the freedom party! I'm glad to hear the rally in Charleston went well. I would like to come out to something like this but I'm not sure how to be notified or informed about such things. I cannot find a link to the WV offices. If any one could let me in on this I would be very grateful. Keep up the good work !
The downfall of American culture is, in my opinion a direct result of the deterioration of the values of the European peoples that built this nation. We were once a proud, strong people and have now been consigned to being part of the mythical, evil, "white" race that is responsible for all the worlds ills, instead of the creation of Western Civilization. The strength of the European people has always resided in their spirit and so, as European-Americans our spirit is rooted in our ancestral blood.
The West Virginia office of the party can be reached at P.O. BOX 88 Maidsville, WV. 26541.
Or call me Harry Bertram at 304 598 7215. I f I do answer leave me a message!

LogMeIn adds Bluetooth keyboard support
Popular remote desktop service LogMeIn has released an update to its iOS applications adding support for using a Bluetooth keyboard in remote desktop sessions. The new feature allows users with external keyboards to maintain full screen visibility of their remote Mac or PC while typing, rather than having to contend with the on-screen keyboard. The update also expands the My Cloud Bank feature with support for Skydrive and Box.net, joining other popular online file services such as Dropbox, and Google Docs. In addition, Windows users can now have their host screen resolution automatically set to mirror the iPad screen resolution when connecting to their PC. LogMeIn is available from the App Store in two versions: LogMeIn (free) provides standard remote access capabilities at no additional cost with the option to purchase a LogMeIn Pro subscription for $40/year per computer to add HD video and sound streaming, remote printing and file management with cloud services integration; LogMeIn Ignition ($130) provides the full set of "Pro" features for multiple computers as a one-time purchase and continues to be a free upgrade for previous Ignition users.

Amerlux, a design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced the launch of a hi-tech, electrical receptacle for its Avista light engine that will turn humble light posts into the bold underpinnings of a smart city.
The Avista light engine is available in three options: standard without an electrical socket, 3-pin with a NEMA twist-lock electrical receptacle, and the 7-pin with a NEMA socket and "extra" pins that add dimming capabilities and access to a world of cutting-edge sensors.
Since LEDS last for 50,000-100,000 hours (10-20 years), municipalities can maximize future options with the 7-pin receptacle, even if a city isn't ready for the full investment toward creating a smart city; the city can use today's wireless controls and the controls of tomorrow, which are still being developed.
The Avista light engine was recently was granted a U.S. patent protection for intellectual property incorporated into the product. Its IP66 sealed LED optical chamber prevents water intrusion, which is the main cause of light failure. In addition, Avista was designed for new construction applications and retrofits, which take less than 15 minutes per unit to install.

Why bother? Most of the time I don't want to mess around with a plugin's UI, or the plugin does way more than I actually want it to do. Without hacking the core files, plugins can be very rigid with what you're allowed to do.
The solution? Roll your own! It's a great learning experience, you know what's going on under the hood and you're gaining skills for another time. And trust me, you will need these skills down the track. I've rarely learnt how to do something with WordPress that I haven't ended up repeating in another project.
Why Don't I Just Use a Plugin?
You hated scrolling past that as much as I did!
But I Need All Those Features!!1!
Really? This isn't Web 2.0 anymore. Complex forms scare customers.
How many times have you gone to fill out a form, only to be daunted by the amount of personal data you have to put in? It happens all the time. People even get halfway and are then distracted by something else. People on the web have a very short attention span. So in order for you to make it as easy as possible for your potential clients and customers to get in touch with you, you really should be stripping to the bone.
Name, email, message and human verification. But I think you knew that already.
These four small bits of information are as simple as commenting on a blog — why would you want to make getting in touch any more difficult? I don't think I've ever built a form with more information than that, unless absolutely required.
If people want to leave their phone number and address, they will do so in the message. Visual cues such as asking them in a short paragraph above the form is enough!
Surely It's a Pain Coding Everything From scratch!?
Yep, that's it. You can handle displaying the form, human verification, validation, emailing the admin and thanking the reader for getting in touch all in one file. In fact, here it is.
As per usual, I'm starting with a fresh WordPress installation. If you're unsure how, educate yourself on the Codex.
To follow good practice, I'm going to create a child theme of TwentyTwelve — available here — with just a stylesheet and our custom page template. You can take out the custom page template and drop it into any of your current themes, and it should work flawlessly (bar some CSS modifications).
In wp-content/themes, add a new folder called "contact-form." Within that, create two new files — style.css and page-contact-us.php.
Description:    A super simple, self-contained contact form you can drop into your existing theme.
Ignore my shameless premium plug — I work here. It's a requirement!
By now, you should be able to go ahead and activate the theme on your test site, and be ready to roll.
The next step is to create a page, aptly-named "Contact Us." This name is special. It relates immediately to the template file we made previously called page-contact-us.php. This solution for creating a custom page template is not a catch-all, just a convention WordPress provides and I like. Page-about-us.php would automatically be used to display a page titled "About Us." It's kinda handy!
If you've created page-contact-us.php and left it empty, visiting your newly created "Contact Us" page will yield a blank page.
That's alright though! Quickly pad it out with the following, and it will look just like a normal page again.
Alrighty. Now we've got the base page in, it's time to drop in a very simple form.
Excuse the inline style! This is purely for error/success messages, and to put the whole thing in one file. Feel free to put it in your style.css.
There are a number of things going on here. Firstly, we echo the $respond variable, which we'll look at a bit later.
The rest is just form tags, but you'll note that the value of them echoes a $_POST variable. This is so that in the case the form is submitted incorrectly, all data is retained so the user doesn't have to type out everything from scratch.
There's also a sneaky "hidden" form input, that allows us to check if a user has posted anything or not. I'll get to that later though.
I've added an asterix next to each input, to signify they are required.
If you save that and refresh, you'll have a nice looking contact form!
The logic that follows upon form submission is simple. There are several components that need to be built.
To save having messy PHP code, we've placed the $response variable within the form. That's cool, keeping logic mostly separate from views. How do we set this though?
It's pretty easy really, we need to write a function that fills the $response variable with the feedback we get from validation. This must contain messages to address each validation requirement.
At the top of your page-contact-us.php before get_header(), paste the following.
Cool. This doesn't do a whole lot yet, but if you have basic PHP knowledge you'll understand that we a) create an empty $response variable, and b) fill it with the $message passed depending on its $type, which will either be error or success.
Now when we build the validation, we can call generate_response() at each case (whether it be a success or failure), pass a message (i.e. Email address invalid), and it will be spat out right above the form!
There are 3 groups of variables we need for a successful contact form.
The validation process will use all three of these groups to validate, send an email and notify the user of a sent message.
Each group is fairly straight forward. The Response Message group stores all our feedback messages in variables.
The User Posted Variables pick up what has been put into the form, and places them in nicely named variables to save having to access the $_POST variable over and over. $_POST contains all information submitted via a form.
Finally, we set up a couple of variables that are required by PHP's mail() function, which tell it who to go to, a subject line, and some headers that specify from and reply-to addresses.
This is the meaty bit. We want to check for all possible problems, in the most succinct way possible. This requires several nested if/else conditional statements, but not enough to blow out your brains.
If all the above passes, send an email!
So let's get stuck into it!
This is pretty simple really. We want to test to see if the form user has entered some math correctly, to ensure they are human. If you look back at our form field, you'll notice the equation is ? + 3 = 5. So obviously, we want to test firstly if the value is NOT 2, spit out an error. If it is 2, we then proceed. Below the variable groups, paste the following.
Here, we first check if the human verification is not equal to 0. If it is, then check if it's incorrect. If so, generate a matching response. The last line checks if the hidden field has been submitted, and if it has, throw another error.
This tests for two cases: empty content and human verification.
If you try submit the form while it's empty, you should get a nice error message.
Cool! If you enter anything other than "2" into the human verification, you'll also get an error.
The next part of validation is email validation. Now we know they're human, we want to be sure they're supplying a legit reply address you can contact them with.
To do so very easily, we use a PHP function called filter_var() which has a number of validation models. Obviously, we'll use the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL model to validate email.
Replace the three lines of comments smack bang in the middle of our validation with the following.
Here, we filter the $email variable checking if it's a valid email address. If not, throw an error. Else, continue!
Checking for presence of a name and message is relatively easy. We just use PHP's empty() function, which returns true or false depending whether the variable you pass to it is empty.
Finally, the last piece of our puzzle is sending the email. Once all our validation has passed, we use the mail() function PHP has built in to swiftly send an email. We've also got to generate a response on success, and on failure as well.
Believe it or not, you're done! You've now got a fully functional contact form.
If you fill everything out properly, you should get a happy success message that says your email has been sent.
And that's it. Rolling your own contact page isn't hard, and it keeps things as fast as possible without any overhead. Depending on your skills, you can of course build on top of this. It's a great way to learn new things as well as build on your experience. Let alone know exactly what happens under the hood!
If you want to take this further, try getting the form to insert each entry as a custom post type post. You'll need to use nonces, and wp_insert_post(). You can then even turn it into a completely user-driven testimonials engine!


Keeping your house comfortable and stress-free can be a bit difficult from time to time because we just can't see what we're doing wrong! It doesn't matter how much money you put into something, at some point it's going to feel uncomfortable, so carry on reading to find out the most effective ways you can stop this.

Mattresses are the ultimate comfort in your house, so you have to do it justice by going on websites like mattress.review to have a look at what other people are saying about mattresses to see if you should buy it or not!
Carpets are the flooring for your rooms, and they can greatly affect the way you feel in them! Common in a lot of houses in the 21st century is wooden or vinyl flooring; whilst these are more hard wearing than carpet, carpet is much more comfortable to stand and sit on. The surface is soft and cushioned as opposed to hard, sharp and cold, which means that you can enjoy your rooms more because it's softer almost everywhere! You can buy new carpets and rugs from rugsusa.com, so if you're looking for something to make the flooring a bit better then you should be having a look!
Lighting plays a huge part in how comfortable your home feels; if your lighting is bright and harsh then it's going to mean that it's not an enjoyable lighting to be under as you're going to be squinting a lot to see properly! However, if the lighting is soft then you won't have to squint or avoid looking near the light, which is much better.

One thing not covered here is gadgets; there are some that can make your lives more comfortable and much easier too, so read this to start checking them out.


I have seen many people sharing articles on Facebook about Walmart raising their minimum wage across the country to $11 an hour. This is a huge jump in pay in many states.
However, the pay increase does not come without sacrifice as the corporation lays off thousands of people with the closing of dozens of Sam's Clubs.
The announcement comes on the same day the retail giant announced it was raisingits starting minimum wage for new employees to $11 an hour.
The company told Business Insider that 63 Sam's Club stores will close. Some locations reportedly stopped business suddenly on Thursday without giving advance warning to employees.
The Sam's Club locations slated to close that did not do so on Thursday are reportedly expected to shutter within the next few weeks.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has commended the company's decision to raise their minimum wage, and added that the tax bill was a major help to middle-class families.
However, his comments came before Walmart announced that they would be laying people off and closing stores.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also praised Walmart on Thursday.
"I would also like to highlight the announcement this morning from Walmart. We want to thank them. They will be increasing their minimum wages, issuing bonuses, and expanding family benefits for over 1 million employees," he said.
"Walmart is the latest company to make such an announcement and today join over 130 other companies across the nation who have already given such relief. We are up to 2 million workers that have seen special bonuses or additional wages," Mnuchin concluded.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Leaders at the state's healthcare facilities are calling it a big win.
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback allowed a bill, which bans guns at public hospitals, to pass into law. That includes most of the metro's major Kansas-based facilities -- including the University of Kansas Health System. Conceal-carry laws, as well as open-carry laws, won't apply to hospitals.
The bill becomes law after Gov. Brownback refused to veto it, meaning gun owners can't bring their firearms into hospitals. Workers from Kansas hospitals, including the two FOX 4 News spoke with on Thursday, say they're breathing a sigh of relief.
"For the patients, I think this is the best thing that could have happened," Morteza Rabii, president of the Kansas University Nurse's Association, told FOX 4 News.
Rabii works as a nurse at the University of Kansas Health System, and represents his fellow workers in collective bargaining, leading around 1,400 nurses from that hospital. Rabii says he's worried about the prospect of legal guns appearing in hospitals has been a fearful notion for a long time.
"(Patients) are there to heal. The last thing they need is to be looking over their shoulders at a very stressful time," Rabii said.
Rabii says he and other nurses have kept an eye on Topeka, as Gov. Brownback moved in favor of keeping guns out of public hospitals across the Sunflower State. Rabii says he's heard of an incident where a local hospital visitor brought a gun.
"Guns have been brought into emergency rooms, etc. Someone was sent in to finish the job, essentially," Rabii said.
It's violence like that, according to Rabii, that he hopes the new law will prevent. The Kansas Statehouse had already issued their support for the bill, too.
"I do see it all. I'm in the middle of all of it," Ashley Morrell, who works as a nurse at another hospital in the metro, said.
Sometimes, Morrell said, she sees patients receive bad news about their health, and she wonders how they'd react if they had a gun by their side.
"There's been so many shootings the past couple of years in the most public, random places. I just think adding one more outlet to that just kind of made me nervous," Morrell said.
The new law will also prohibit guns in mental hospitals and nursing homes. Bob Page, president of the University of Kansas Health System, issued a statement on Thursday, voicing his support for Gov. Brownback's decision.


We will be at the Boston Local food fest providing one more reason to get tickets and show up. We do however need a few extra hands for the event so we are hoping to wrangle a few local barista to collaborate with us for the event.
We have put a lot of thought into the concepts of local, sustainable, and why that matters in an industry that has coffees coming from all over the world. It makes sense that people lump sustainability solely into terms of anything that happens at the farm level or cafe level in coffee. Coffees come from all over the world so it seems like then shipping them across the country is not really that big a deal. Truth is, it really is kind of a big deal.
Here's something for you to think about next time you are in a cafe that talks about zero waste or sustainability, where does the coffee come from? Though coffees come from all over the world, maritime or cargo freight by sea has an extremely low cost (and carbon footprint) compared to truck and air freight. The argument can easily be made that coffees delivered by maritime freight to the closest port to a roaster and sold locally are easily the most sustainable model in our industry. Shipping roasted coffee cross country is one of the least common sense habits our industry has developed and adds a lot of costs to the final product.
What value could be added to ship a coffee across eight (or however many) states? What quality can be increased by shipping coffee a thousand (or more) miles from roaster to cafe? Short answer, none. Anyone who tells you they can't find a good quality coffee roaster in region or their local metro is not giving enough thought or research to it. There are so many new roasting operations starting up in every part of the country that the argument can be made we are in a renaissance for small batch micro roasters (or the beginning of one).
On a quality level, there are big arguments for local roasters like us to stay hyper local in our business model. Bags roasted within days (if not hours) showing up on shelves in locations that we can often bike to. Being able to train, teach, and share with those serving and buying our coffees. You can even easily meet the green buyer or roaster daily to talk about what is special about that farm or how that roast tastes in different methods.
Nevertheless, it's a complex topic that can ponder as you drop our booth the 7th for the Boston Local Food fest. It's going to be fun. Think 'local'.
This turned into quite an eventful weekend for all of us at barismo as well as the entire dwelltime staff. Six pallets of coffees were delivered (Just about five TONS of green coffee) for the first time to our dwelltime location in Cambridge MA. We are now able to store many pallets of green coffee in our spacious basement. This will be an interesting logistical challenge for us as we figure out how often green coffee will need to be transported over to our roasting facility four miles down the road in East Arlington.
The dwelltime staff, including our baker, had a chance to pitch in hauling 160 pound bags of green coffee from pallet to basement. One of our bar staff was a little gung ho with hauling bags, jute sack versus bare knuckles, jute wins. This however is not a new activity for all of us lightweights down at the roastery. For almost four years now, as of (September 17!) barismo has been in the business of hauling bags of coffee into our cool basement and then carrying them back up small batch at a time to carefully roast and send out our front door.
As if that was not enough of a work out, we have just started sending out our local deliveries all along the Mass Ave corridor in Cambridge via our very own bicycle delivery cart. We made an appearance this past Saturday at the Somerville SPOKES bicycle festival to serve up Union Square's most sustainable and most meticulously handled coffee. Some might call us crazy, we like to call it sustainable.
As a four year old company we are out of the brand-new phase and into the growing years. We just opened up our beautiful cafe and lunch spot in Cambridge to an overwhelming reception from our friends and new neighbors. At the roastery we are on the verge of moving into a bigger, newer production/cafe/training space. Through all of these years we have successfully been able to grow in a very organic and responsible manner.
Our commitment to fostering a genuine connection to the product we handle has come full circle as one of our Direct Trade partner producers from Guatemala is visiting us in just a couple of weeks. I would encourage you to read up on story of how we connected with Gustavo Alfaro, and the leaps and bounds we have made with new micro lot projects at his farm, Hacienda Santa Rosa.
Sustainability for us is not some far away concept happening just at the farm level, it is apart of everything we do as a local business. Responsible direct sourcing, micro batch roasting, brewing and training resources, local sustainable delivery, and genuine community involvement. So, join us at one of our many community events to get involved! In specialty coffee, slow and steady is a sustainable pace.
