After the holidays, Arkansas consumers may find their finances stretched, and some suggest immediate action may be necessary. Although the bankruptcy option is available, many people may want first to try stricter debt management before taking that step. However, ongoing credit card debt can result in additional interest and late payment fees.
To understand the extent of the problem, the most appropriate step would be to obtain a credit report to check obligations. Interest rates should also be verified. This is also an opportunity to check for errors and report them. Before drafting a budget, some suggest recording every cent that is spent in one month, even insignificant amounts. The amount of money spent on non-essentials often surprises consumers when they review their exact expenditures afterward.
A list of expenses will be handy when a budget is created, and the 50/20/30 rule is often suggested. Rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments and other fixed costs can be allocated to 50 percent of available money. If this exceeds 50 percent, cutting out things like gym memberships and cable subscriptions can be considered. Putting money in savings or investments can make up 20 percent, and 30 percent is designated to cover flexible spending, such as entertainment, food hobbies and more. This is typically an area in which significant savings can be achieved.
People are often amazed at the additional funds that can be obtained by selling unused items online or at garage sales, and a second job can also be helpful. Refinancing and negotiating lower interest rates may also provide additional funds that can be applied to debt payments. While these suggestions may bring debt relief in the long run, they may not prevent creditor harassment and foreclosure threats. In those circumstances, the protection offered by personal bankruptcy may be considered. An experienced Arkansas attorney can explain the requirements and options under the Bankruptcy Code to assist consumers in making informed decisions about their financial futures.

In the culture of the Native Americans, animal symbols are often used to represent different families, tribes or individuals.
Native Americans hold the belief that throughout a person's life, he or she will be guided by his or her spirit guide. These guides are symbolized by a particular animal, whose characteristics are mirrored or adopted by the individual.
Depending on the situation or events that are going on in one's life, different animals will come into play and serve as a symbol that can help them on their journey.
Many of the inherent characteristics of a specific animal are also associated with their symbolic qualities, and offer an easy way for one to identify their own Native American animal symbols.
What Is A Totem?
A totem is a symbol that represents the animal one identifies with. Sometimes found in the form of a crest, an emblem or figurine, the symbols depict one's animal guide.
Native Americans believe that one is given their animal guide at birth. The Native American zodiac is similar to other zodiacs where a person's birthday designates which totem represents them. Bears, buffalo, deer, eagles and snakes are just a few of the animals which have been known to be used totems.
Native American Zodiac Chart
Since the lives of Native Americans are so closely tied to nature, the Earth and its creatures were revered and their animal symbols thought of with a sense of pride.
Listed below is the Native American zodiac, it's corresponding animals and the qualities thought to be associated with each:
- Otter (Jan 20 – Feb 18): Quirky, perceptive, intuitive
- Wolf (Feb 19 – Mar 20): Emotional, gentle, compassionate
- Falcon (Mar 21 – Apr 19 ): Persistent, a leader
- Beaver (Apr 20 – May 20 ): Adaptive, razor sharp, strategic
- Deer (May 21 – Jun 20): Spirited, lively, personable
- Woodpecker (Jun 21 – Jul 21): Nurturing, understanding, devoted
- Salmon (Jul 22 – Aug 21): Focused, creative, energetic
- Bear (Aug 22 – Sep 21): Practical, level-headed, generous
- Raven (Sep 22 – Oct 22): Enthusiastic, energetic, charming
- Snake (Oct 23 – Nov 22): Spirited, healer, mysterious
- Owl (Nov 23 – Dec 21): Easy-going, sensitive, energetic
- Goose (Dec 22 – Jan 19): Driven, ambitious, humorous
Learning from Storytelling
Animal guides were passed down from generation to generation, through tribe elders and the practice of storytelling. Through storytelling, tribes were able to preserve their history, language and culture, and instill a sense of pride to younger generations.
By learning one's animal spirit guide, a sense of hope and support is given to those who are Native American. Animal symbols offer a deeper connection to the natural world in which they lived, and provide a way for Native Americans to understand their past while aspiring to a bright future.

LONDON (Reuters) - James Murdoch, heir apparent to his father's News Corp before a phone-hacking scandal engulfed the firm, will return for a second hearing before the UK parliament to explain apparent discrepancies in his evidence.
Murdoch and his 80-year-old father Rupert appeared before the powerful parliamentary committee in July to explain how people working for the News of the World had hacked the phones of thousands to generate stories.
Since then, however, executives working below James Murdoch have contradicted his testimony over what he knew and when, further damaging his reputation and throwing into doubt whether he will one day succeed his father at the top of the $45 billion company.
James, youngest son of Rupert Murdoch, will appear before the culture and media committee to answer further questions on November 10. A spokeswoman for News Corp said he was happy to do so.
The statement came as Murdoch's predecessor at the British newspaper arm, Les Hinton, appeared before the same committee for a third time, saying he had not been involved in a cover-up and that he had not realized the scale of the problem.
"I don't think I was complicit," he said. "Looking back on it now, I will look forward to understanding exactly what did unfold and what we might have done that we did not."
The company, which is paying out large sums in a bid to put the scandal behind it, with payments to phone-hacking victims and to charity, managed to defeat a protest vote at the annual general meeting.
Hinton, who worked for Murdoch for over 50 years, spoke via video link from New York and appeared at times uncomfortable as he struggled to answer several of the questions put to him.
He was always going to face difficult questions after previously telling the same committee in 2007 and 2009 that the company had completed a thorough review and found that the phone hacking had been limited to just one rogue reporter, who had already gone to jail.
It has since emerged, however, that the reporter, Clive Goodman, wrote to Hinton in 2007 to say that his subsequent dismissal from the tabloid was unfair because phone-hacking had been rife and discussed widely in the newsroom.
"I don't think that I would regard Mr Goodman's letter as evidence of anything," he said. "We reacted, I think, very responsibly to what Mr Goodman claimed, and at the end of it we could discover no basis for what he was claiming."
Goodman, who went to jail in 2007 for hacking the phones of staff to the royal family, was later paid nearly 250,000 pounds as a pay-off by the News of the World.
Executives such as the former head of human resources and the legal chief had told the parliamentary committee that they would have to "ask Mr Hinton" why the company had paid such a large sum to someone who was dismissed for breaking the law, when he was not entitled to anything.
Other News of the World executives had also testified that the company agreed in 2008 to a very large pay-off to an early hacking victim because they did not want their admission of guilt to be made public.
That move, and the apparent inability of many executives to remember who had done what when appearing before the committee, have contributed to an image that News Corp engaged in a huge cover-up once it realized the scale of the problem.
Hinton said he had not personally led or followed an internal investigation conducted by lawyers into the scandal.
He also said he was very busy at the time.
"For somebody who has worked for a news company for 50 years, you don't have an enquiring mind," one of the parliamentarians, Damian Collins, said.
Another member of parliament Tom Watson congratulated Hinton on his performance. "You have only said you can't remember seven times so far. In 2009 you used it 32 times."
Hinton resigned in July in part to stop the scandal from spreading to the United States, where he had moved to run Dow Jones, the owner of Murdoch's cherished Wall Street Journal.
He was the highest ranking executive to resign over the crisis, but he told the committee that he did not think that James Murdoch should resign over his conduct.

I've had sex in different positions, but my favorite is missionary. I don't want to seem boring in bed. What variations can you suggest to make sex more exciting while sticking to such a traditional position?
Once he's inside you, have him shift his body up toward your navel so that the base of his penis and pelvic bone press against your mons (the fatty pad of tissue on top of your public bone) and clitoris. Then, instead of him thrusting, rock your bodies against each other in a back-and-forth motion. With a few minor adjustments (experiment with a pillow beneath yourbutt to adjust the angle) you should be able to hit the clitoral jackpot.
If superdeep penetration is what you crave, draw your knees toward your chest and grasp the back of your thighs. You can also place the soles of your feet on his chest or, if you're really flexible, prop your ankles or legs up on his shoulders.
If you prefer shallow strokes, straighten your legs and keep them between his. Then, squeeze your thighs together as he glides in and out, creating extra friction against his shaft and your vaginal lips. If this motion misses your clitoris, try the pillow trick mentioned above.
Finally, feel free to experiment with your own variations on missionary until you find one you and your guy both love. And remember: It's not the positions you do that make you fun in bed. The most important factor for between-the-sheets success is pure, unbridled enthusiasm.

Now we can say it without a doubt: Seattle has the loudest fans in the world.
During the Seahawks-49ers game Sunday, the 12th Man broke the Guinness World Record for loudest crowd roar, said the fan group that organized the attempt.
We have yet to confirm the report from former Seahawks player Joe Tafoya and his group Volume 12, but he tweeted from the field that the record had been broken.
The 12th Man set a new world record with 1:15 remaining in the first quarter, when Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett sacked 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Seattle fans went wild and hit 131.9 decibels on the sound meter, Philip Robertson of Guinness World Records told seattlepi.com.
Louder than the lightning and thunder that just delayed the game for an hour.
Updated 8:54 p.m.: Word from our photographers on the field here in the fourth quarter is that the CenturyLink Field crowd just broke its own new record, registering at a whopping 136.6 decibels after Marshawn Lynch walked into the end zone on his second touchdown of the game.
Updated again: The official attendance at the CLink was 68,338 — a stadium record.
And again: Volume 12 posted a few photos to Facebook of what appear to be official Guinness World Records certificates.
The previous croud-roar record was 131.76 decibels, set during a 2011 soccer match at the Ali Sami Yen Sport Complex Turk Telekom Arena in Istanbul, Turkey. Seattle's wild football fans had previously been measured at 112 decibels — louder than a power saw or a rock concert, and not much quieter than a Boeing 747.
Congrats to the @Seahawks who hit 136.6 dbA for "largest crowd roar at a sports stadium" record on #MNF last night in a 29-3 win over @49ers

I tend not to believe in New Year's resolutions (why wait until one arbitrary day to improve something that needs improving?), but have broken my own rule this year and decided that 2017 would be the year I use my phone as little as possible, especially if we're talking about using it in front of my kid, and double especially if we're talking about using it instead of engaging with my kid. (What can I say? It happens.)
In that vein, I was intrigued to learn about a company called TiffinTalk, created by Media native Kat Rowan, who is a mom, former educator, administrator and editor with a background in mathematics and psychology. TiffinTalk's motto? "Tech Off. Talk On." I liked it, and liked still more the wider concept Rowan has created here. TiffinTalk is a series of cards designed to spur conversation with your child; each card has a question in it (the questions stay within a theme for the week). So, for instance, in a preschool set of cards (there are 260 cards in total), the first card asks: "Why do kids go to school?" The second card asks "What happens at school?". The third: "Are all schools the same?" The fourth: "Who works at a school?" And so forth. (The next week's topic is "You!") Each card has a little game on the back, for a little extra fun.
The idea, of course, is to provide conversation starters, but more importantly, to give the kids a chance to be really heard every day, and to work their little brains. The cards encourage a few minutes of focused time together, and can even lead to engaging conversations … if not with your three year old, then certainly down the line. Some of the cards are fun and funny, some of the cards touch on more serious things, especially as the children get older.
The idea started 16 years ago, when Rowan's oldest daughter was in kindergarten. "I started putting simple notes in lunch box — 'Can't wait to see you at ballet', 'Have fun at recess' — and they grew into questions that were more specific, and then weekly themed questions, which was a time-saving for me." Over time, she says, it established a set moment every day of just one-on-one time, talking. It wasn't always long, she says, but it was consistent. "Every year I'd ask them, do you want to keep doing the cards? And they did. It was their chance to talk with me, without their sister in the way. We still went through bad times — the cards obviously don't prevent that — but it kept us talking. It helps to form that relationship and pattern. My daughter would sometimes say, I don't want to talk about the card; I need to talk about something else. Fine. Kids want consistency and boundaries. As long as you're consistent, and say every day, grab your card, or every week, grab your cards, you can talk. They can lead the talk." (You can see why the cards aren't just aimed at parents, but also at counselors and educators.)
Anyway. The project worked so well with Rowan's daughters that she decided to start up TiffinTalk, and now has some 4,160 cards aimed at children from preschool through high school. (Preschool cards are inclusive of sight words, if you have a budding reader!) Each card has a different question, and there are 700 different themes. Some are pretty straight ("Are you wearing green today? Do you like green?") and some are more creative ("What are five uses for a brick that don't involve building?"). The cards are designed to be tossed into a lunch box (hence the name, Tiffin, which refers to the food carrier Indians use for their lunches); there's room to write a personal note inside. ("A bonus connection," Rowan says. "'I'm thinking of you, and I love you.'") The kid can open the note during lunch, think about the question during the day, and then pull out the card again at home to discuss — although Rowan is adamant that people can/should use the cards the way that works for them. (My three-year-old is a bit too young as a non-reader to appreciate them in his lunch at preschool, so we've used them at home before dinner.)
"It's not meant to be homework," Rowan says. "Otherwise kids aren't interested in doing it. It's a tool, and it can encourage them, remind them, that for 5 or 10 or 20 minutes, it's just us."
It's such a cool idea, isn't it? You can read more here, and see the progression of boxes of cards and prices here!

Blog Headline Action Guide & Toolkit
I get a lot of random review requests in my inbox, and sometimes, depending on how busy I am, they get a little lost in the pile. One that did catch my eye was from Jered of PlugChug Blogging Solutions.
I hadn't heard of him before, but he had heard of me through his partner, Jean Sarauer, who created Virgin Blogger Notes. Because she was a great blogger (who has since moved on to bigger and better things), I thought this would be a great product, so I took the time to read it.
They created a guide called the Blog Headline Acition Guide & Toolkit (aff link). This eBook covers the following topics:
- Why Strong Headlines Increase Traffic, Subscribers, and Sales
- The Essentials of Irresistable Headlines
- 9 Simple Steps to Writing a Great Headline
- How to Evaluate & Transform Your Headlines
The real value of this eBook is the last part – the toolkit. There are 28 tips, a checklist, and a 5 step headline worksheet to help you construct the best headlines for your posts, plus an additional 175 ready-to-use headline formulas. Just rework them to fit with your niche and you will have a killer headline!
This eBook is only $27, which is quite a good deal for the amount of content they provide. As a bonus, you will also get monthly headline training updates in the form of video, as well as a one on one email session with the main author of the book. Definitely one to checkout if you have trouble writing great blog post titles (like I do).

Customer finds value with OMEGAMON and zAware
BrianGage 060001PXTR Visits (8090)
Recently a zAware customer commented on the value they had received when zAware spotted an anomaly. It all started when they were notified by email from the OMEGAMON XE for z/OS support that feeds their eventing system. They were able to quickly see the event and the issue that zAware had captured. Leveraging OMEGAMON XE for z/OS situation capabilities allowed the customer to monitor for zAware anomalies without having to stare at a display. This is exactly the value IBM built into zAware and OMEGAMON XE for z/OS for our customers and it is great seeing customers get the value.
zAware is new technology from IBM that uses analytics to look for anomalies in your mainframe environment. IBM's OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite provides the capabilities to monitor zAware and many other situations that can occur. The combination of these solutions can help customers prevent problems and avoid costly impacts to their production environment.
Here are some links with more information on this topic that you may find valueable.

The chaos game is my favourite method for producing Iterated Function Systems fractals, because it's quick and the images reach from nature to fantasy. From 1991 to 2001 I 've developed a program called Dotfrak, which is now available for newer windows systems. The main concept is to see the IFS's transformations by its important parameters like angle and compression-factor and not by its matrix, so that people are able to create images, although not being academically trained in mathematics.
Trees and Triangles
IFS activities
I added a simple version of the program to my book titled Fraktale aus Natur und Fantasie. The program of today DFW 3.4 was fully rewritten and many features were added (a 3D-View p.e.). Sorry, I don't distribute DFW as a free program, but you can order more information by EMail. Test the abilities of IFS construction with my Sierpinski Family Machine (IFS II). Watch the Quick-Links too.

Michael F. Barnsley (b. 1946) is a mathematician who works on fractal image compression. He was the first who used Iterated Function Systems to generate pictures of ferns.

- God created man in His own image.
- Sin separated man from God.
- Jesus came to bridge that separation.
- Jesus chose to die on a Cross as payment for our sins.
- After his death, on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead conquering death and sin.
- Because Jesus died and rose again we can have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
- This relationship gives us hope, peace, and purpose in this life.
- This relationship also gives us an inheritance of eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ.
- Every person that walks the face of the Earth matters to God.
- We are called to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
- We are called to align ourselves with God's Word.
- We will do everything as if we are doing it for the Lord.
- We will practice forgiveness in Biblical relationships.
- We will meet together in our homes to devote ourselves to further spiritual growth.
- Prayer is essential in everything we do.
- Every believer has been given a Spiritual gift.
- Unity is essential for a vibrant church.
- We will love God.
- We will serve people.
- We will never walk alone.
- We will always welcome other inside and outside the walls of the church.
- We will all grow in Christlikeness.
To align ourselves with the Word of God
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, written by men on His behalf. It's central theme is Jesus Christ.
Luke 24:27 (NIV) says: "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He (Jesus) explained to them (men) what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself." The Bible is without error, complete, and the final authority. It should be the foundation of our life and decisions.
To be culturally relevant
We do not live in a bubble, and we are not immune to the trials of the world. In light of this, we are committed to meeting people where they are. We understand the issues people face today because we are living in the same world. Our desire is to reach individuals, then equip them to live a full, Godly life.
1 Corinthians 9:12 (NASB): "The the weak I become weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some."
To be a vibrant church
Though not officially a "community " church, PittNaz is composed of people from a variety of denominational, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. This diversity strengthens and equips us to connect with and better serve our community.
Act 2:42 (NIV): "The devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was lied with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

John W Henry: Liverpool can afford Anfield expansion
LIVERPOOL principal owner John W Henry insists finance is in place for the redevelopment of Anfield and that it will not impact on team strengthening.
Former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett's plans to build a new ground in the shadow of the existing stadium never materialised as they ran into money worries.
But Henry says his Fenway Sports Group will not suffer from a lack of cash.
It's actually a positive. It's one of the reasons we are doing it
Liverpool are waiting for the City Council to finalise the purchase of houses in the area before they commit to plans to expand the Main Stand and the Anfield Road end of the ground.
"They [Hicks and Gillett] were talking about going out and borrowing an enormous amount of money for an enormous facility. That's not what we are doing here," said Henry.
Asked if the expansion would impact on money for team building, Henry added: "No, because it will pay for itself. It's actually a positive. It's one of the reasons we are doing it. It still provides excess cash."

For example, I have two video files of the same movie:
m2ts with LPCM 2.0 audio
mkv with FLAC 2.0 audio
If I convert the first one to ac3 2.0 640 and the second one to ac3 2.0 640 ¿Do I have the same ac3 audio file? ¿exactly the same quality? ¿100%?
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 18 of 18
FLAC is losslessly compressed digital audio. If you had a FLAC audio file that was created from an LPCM file and decompressed the FLAC file to LPCM, then the LPCM audio in the new file would be identical to that in the original LPCM audio file from which it was created
However, unless you know that the exact same source was used for both your LPCM file and FLAC file, and know everything that was done to them before you obtained them, you should not assume that the audio on the FLAC file will be identical to that on the LPCM file once the FLAC file is decompressed.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord
FLAC will provide 100% same (bit exact) version of source as PCM. It works functionally same as Zip or similar compression.
LPCM 2.0 bit rate: 1536 kb/s
FLAC 2.0 bit rate: 259 kb/s
The LPCM is 1536 kilobits per second, but the FLAC is 259. Will I have the same 640kb/s ac3 audio file converting 256kb/s FLAC audio as I would with 1536kb/s LPCM audio?
You may not realize this, but unlike LPCM, FLAC doesn't have a constant bitrate. It varies, sometimes wildly.
So lpcm = 1536, all the time for that set of bitdepth & samplerate & channels. But your flac, which you say is 259, is only AVERAGING 259 (which btw sounds way too low to be true - flac usually has a compression of ~2.39:1). Some moments it will be less, other moments it will be more. In fact with flac, it is even possible for certain instantaneous bitrates to spike HIGHER than the lpcm rate.
Regardless of the flac bitrate, recompression to another format is NEVER done to the flac file directly, but is done to the intermediate, decompressed lpcm version that was its source, just like u_q said. So the bitrate of the flac actually has no bearing in these equations.
Again, *IF* your source lpcm in the one file is identical to the decompressed lpcm intermediate from the flac file, AND you perform the same recompression application on both, and have resultant files which are identical in bitrate, those SHOULD be equivalent in quality. Not identical, as lossy compression does have some variability (uniqueness, individuality) per pass, and so may not have identical hashes, but overall they can be considered as identical.
mkvextract to extract the flac audio from MKV file and the result is:
The extension is .??? audacity can't recognize the file. Should I change the file extension or import the file in any other way?
I decided to open eac3to and import the mkv file with flac audio and the program recognized it. Would it be possible to decompress the flac with eac3to?
foobar 2000 don't recognize files with unknown/wrong extension even if file format is fully supported).
I've finally done it with eac3to, I haven't been able to do it with Audacity. Once I fed eac3to with the mkv file I used this:
2: %_2eng.wav
The result is the same bitrate as the original LPCM and identical bit of depth. Thank you very much to everyone, I had no idea that FLACs were compressed audios.
Just one more thing, what can I do if the original instead of being LPCM is DTS-HD?
Suppose I have another MKV file with FLAC, but this time the original audio is:
2.0 / 48 kHz / 2095 kbps / 24-bit (DTS Core: 2.0 / 48 kHz / 1509 kbps / 24-bit)
Would it be possible to extract DTS Core from FLAC?
That's not how it works.
Anytime you compress something, whether it's lossless or lossy, it is using as its source an uncompressed copy (might be a file or a decompressed intermediate or a pipe).
If your "source" was intended to be DTS-MA, prior to compression to flac it would first decompress the dts to lpcm and then use that as input into the flac. ALWAYS.
This is what I did today:
First, Flac to wav. The original bluray audio is DTS-HD instead of LPCM.
DTS-HD Master Audio English 1554 kbps 2.0 / 48 kHz / 1554 kbps / 16-bit (DTS Core: 2.0 / 48 kHz / 1509 kbps / 16-bit)
The resulting wav doesn't seem to have the same bit rate:
WAV, 2.0 channels, 1:26:10, 16 bits, 1536kbps, 48kHz
Anyway, I fed eac3to with the wav audio:
Reading WAV...
Writing WAVs...
Creating file "C:\Users\AD\Desktop\video.mkv_2eng.wav_.L.wav "...
Creating file "C:\Users\AD\Desktop\video.mkv_2eng.wav_.R.wav "...
The original audio track has a constant bit depth of 16 bits.
Encoding DTS <768kbps> with Surcode...
Surcode DTS Encoder doesn't seem to be installed. <ERROR>
3 doubts:
1.Why this difference in bit rate? It doesn't exactly match either the DTS-HD or the DTS Core, only the bit of depth.
2.Why eac3to separates L and R tracks and tries to encode at 768 kbps if the wav is 1536kbps.
3.If I extract DTS -core from DTS-HD I do not receive any error message, should I install codecs to get the DTS -core from FLAC?
RAW data are easy to calculate - sample rate * number of channels * bitdepth (assumption each channel has same bitdepth) equal your RAW bitrate, in real numbers this look like this: sample rate 48000 * 2 channels * 16 bit per channel = 1,536,000 bits per second.
Some tools may report incorrectly parameters. Anything above 1536kbps may be overhead.
Additional remark so called DTS (core) is a lossy audio compression, 768kbps DTS exist thus software may try to reencode your source to 768kbps DTS core (do not forget that whenever DTS 768 or 1536kbps is mentioned then we should talk about 5.1 audio i.e DTS compression ratio 6 or 12 to 1, for 2.0 audio 768kbps DTS provide only 2 to 1 compression)
Anyway: keep in mind that Surcode is outdated and obsolete software, designed when DVD-Video "ruled" (so to speak).
eac3to should have been updated to use ffdcaenc-2 (freeware) or/and the DTS-HD Master Audio Suite, but sadly the author (madshi) doesn't care......users on my IgnoreList: 162 names thus far, but featuring DB83 and manono.
Thank you very much. I'll try with ffdcaenc-2 as soon as possible.

What Science Cannot EXPLAIN
Stories of scores of breakthroughs made in science and technology cannot take away from the fact that there exist some phenomenon that we still can't explain. Here is list of some of the mysteries
Spirits of the dead have long made an appearance in our folklore. People have reported seeing apparitions of both strangers and departed loved ones. Though proof of the existence of ghosts remains elusive, eyewitnesses report seeing and even communicating with ghosts
There is no doubt that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) exist — people see things in the skies that they cannot identify, ranging from aircraft to meteors. Whether or not any of those objects are alien spacecraft is a different matter. Investigation has found known causes for most sightings, but some UFO incidents will remain unexplained
Call it gut feelings, or a 'sixth sense', we have all experienced
intuition Psychologists note that people subconsciously pick up information, leading us to sense or know information without knowing exactly how or why we know it. But cases of intuition are difficult to prove or study
For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have been reported by eyewitnesses across America and Tibet. In the absence of evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to sightings and ambiguous photos. Since it is logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never be able to prove that creatures like the Loch Ness monster do not exist
Deja vu is a French phrase meaning 'already seen', referring to the distinct, puzzling, and mysterious feeling of having experienced a specific set of circumstances before. Cause and nature of the phenomenon itself remains a mystery
People who were once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light). While such experiences are profound, no one has returned with proof or verifiable information from 'beyond the grave'. Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no way to know with certainty what causes neardeath experiences
Psychic powers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the top unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition is a form of psychic power. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic powers
Medical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effective — whether they actually are or not. Using
processes only poorly understood, the body's ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create

The Juki sewing machine may not be as versatile and feature packed as other sewing machines I have reviewed, but it's the perfect choice for professional sewers especially those who sell their garments, or who work for a living as a sewer.
The machine is heavy duty- there are no plastic parts to this machine! The machine is made entirely of aluminium. So this is not a great machine if you need to move it around a lot as it's very heavy, but if you're a professional sewer then you would have a dedicated sewing room or space and wouldn't need to move your machine often.
There is only 1 stitch available on this machine.
The high-quality of the machine translates to high-quality stitches, and your garments will look more professional and be of better quality. This is not a machine for beginners who want to try a number of different decorative stitches.
The machine operates at high speeds, up to 1500 stitches per minute which is more than the typical 850spm of other sewing machines. This is perfect when you're working on many sewing projects and need to work quickly.
You can control the length of your stitch, by using the stitch length control dial on the side of the machine. You can turn the dial from 1 to 6, with 6mm being the longest stitch possible.
Presser Feet
Included with the machine is a standard foot, a 1/5 inch quilting foot and an even-feed foot.
There's an automatic threader to save you time and stress threading the needle. Admittedly, it does take a few goes before you become comfortable with threading the needle. Even though it's an automatic feature, it's not as straight forward as it sounds.
Once you've finished sewing, there's an automatic thread cutter and to use it, you simply rock your foot back. The control for the thread cutter is on the foot pedal. But make sure you don't accidentally rock your foot back to cut the thread when you're not ready! A few sewers complain that they did this when they first got the machine, until they got used to it!
Working Space
The machine has a large working area of around 23 inches, which is great if you're working on large sewing or quilting projects. A flat-bed extension table is included with the purchase of the machine, to make your work area larger.
There's a knee lever which allows you to lift or drop your presser foot hands-free, so that you can hold onto the fabric and focus on the project you're working on. This is handy for advanced and professional sewers.
I love that there's a needle up and down control so that you don't have to manually lift or drop the needle when you need to turn corners or end seams evenly on your quilting project.
You can easily raise or lower the feed dogs for times when you want to try free motion quilting or when you want to easily glide your fabric without it getting caught on the feed dogs.
The machine includes a 1/5 inch quilting foot.
What People Love About This Machine
This is a heavy duty, high-quality machine that should last you many years and since it's industrial in nature, it's the perfect machine for professional sewers.
The machine operates at very high speeds, which is something that's important if you're a professional sewer, because time is money. You want to power through your sewing projects as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The quality of the stitching is excellent!
The machine has a very large work area which is important when you're a professional sewer and you're working on large projects.
The machine only has one stitch, so you can't work on creative sewing projects using the Juki sewing machine. This machine is ideally for those sewing the same types of garments, something simple or even basic quilts.
The machine is heavy, so even though you can carry it around using the handle, it's not the type of machine you want to be moving around a lot.
The price- you get what you pay for, but if you don't have the budget, you may be put off buying the Juki TL-2000Qi sewing machine.
Despite its price and that it only has 1 stitch, the Juki TL-2000Qi is a much-loved sewing machine by professional sewers worldwide. If you're looking for an industrial, heavy-duty sewing machine that will help you breeze through your sewing work, you'll fall in love with the Juki!

|March 2014 on the left and February 2016 on the right
We vowed that we would come back another time to explore the parkland and enjoy the wildlife, meadows, springs and woodland play trail that the National Trust always do so well. Time passed and we visited lots more local NT sites and never made it back to explore the parkland, so when we were faced with the same kind of circumstance on Sunday last we decided we would head over to Sheffield Park and have a good explore.
Just one issue when we got there Sunday, I hadn't packed any wellies and whilst it had been a bright and beautiful day when we visited in March 2014, this February was awful - cold, wet and exceedingly muddy.With our sensible heads on we decided another look round the garden would be a better idea then venturing into the parklands.
Let me share with you some photos of the gardens, some from 2014 and more recent ones too. I think perhaps we need to visit in the Autumn as well as I can imagine the colours will be magnificent. This is one of the beauties of living in a variable climate like Britain, we do the seasons really well when it comes to nature!
Even at this time of the year, you can see the hints in these pictures of how fabulous the colours are going to be as the seasons change.
The kids were given a specific map for them and it gave them ideas of where they could join in with the National Trusts fabulous 50 things to do before you are 11 3/4 initiative.
If you fancy a trip to Sheffield Park with your children then one of the school holidays is a great idea as there is always trails and activities. I see they are hosting a Cadbury's Easter egg hunt from 25th March - 10th April 2016.
I'm linking this post up with Fiona at Coombe Mill for #CountryKids.

Cuddly Pinky directions
Good to see Solent University addressing the needs of all students, after all not everyone can read a plan well some need all the visual clues possible. Take a look their novel and amusing but well thought out take on a route finder
I wonder if the children would be able to write a description of the routes from this video or make a plan.... or even make their own for new children? ( addressing audience, planning, working cooperatively, understanding maps and directions)
Thanks to Miles Berry for sharing this .. hope you find your way OK

About Us
Swing Utah is an organization dedicated to the promotionand preservation of traditional jazz music and dance, commonly called swing dancing, within the state of Utah. We are dedicated to building a strong community and developing a widespread appreciation for America's original swing dance.
We are available to help with all of your swing dancing needs, from private and group lessons to performances and event planning. Please contact us with any questions you might have, we would love to hear from you.
Shane and Julie
Julie started swing dancing in 1996 while in high school. Her dance education began at an Author Murray Studio in Scottsdale, AZ. After graduating from high school Julie moved to Utah to attend Brigham Young University. There she was placed on their performance swing team. It was there that she learned how to choreograph and perform. Those experiences pushed Julie into the competitive swing world. She has attended Camp Hollywood, American Lindy Hop Championships, the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown, and many other major Lindy Hop camps and competitions. Julie has placed in the top 10 for follows in many of these competitions.
Julie has Dj'ed in the Utah area for four plus years. She started Dj'ing when she was BYU's Swing Club President in 2002. Since then she has Dj'ed at local events such as: The Utah Invitational, UofU Swing Club, and The Utah Lindy Exchange. Julie DJ's regularly at her local venue, The Golden Skillet. Her music preferences range from the old classics like Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw to present day bands like The Boilermakers and New Deal Swing. Her music choice is usually up tempo and has Charleston influences.
Shane was introduced to country dancing in 1998, but was never fully satisfied with the country style. He discovered Lindy Hop swing in the year 2000, and never looked back. He began teaching swing dance at Utah State University in 2002, where he directed the beginner performance team for two years while dancing on the main performance team. After taking his first private lessons in 2004, he began traveling to various events taking private lessons from many of the top lindy hop instructors.
Julie and Shane became dance partners in 2004. They currently run a weekly dance called The Downtown Stomp in Salt Lake City, UT, coach a performance swing team called The Salt Lake Jitterbugs, and teach weekly dance lessons. They have won first place in every major Lindy Hop competition in Utah. They placed 8th in the National Amateur Lindy Hop competition of 2006, and 6th place in the American Lindy Hop championship Show Case Division of 2005. More than that, Shane and Julie's love for swing dancing continues to inspire others to learn and enjoy this wonderful art.

Sorani is the dialect of Kurdish spoken in Iraq, where it is an official language, as well as in parts of Western Iran. It is also known as Central Kurdish. Of the three Kurdish languages - Kurmanji, Sorani and Pehlewani - it has the second highest number of speakers. Due to its status in Iraq, it has also become the most published of the Kurdish languages in written form. Kurdish sits apart from other languages in the Iranian language family and not much is known about its origin. It is distantly related to Persian.Learn Kurdish (Sorani) with uTalk
The Sorani dialect is spoken by approximately a quarter of the Kurdish population.

We are the laughingstock of the world, an impotent superpower whose response to those who aid our enemies is to write a letter asking them not to do it. Yes, Harold Koh the State Department's chief lawyer, sent a demand freakin' letter to Wikileaks. It went something like this (my paraphrase):Dear Wikileaks,Here is the letter which should have been delivered months ago:
Please give us our stuff back because it was really mean of you to take it and give it to all your friends.
Harold KohDear Wikileaks,
If you publish any more material we will hunt you down no matter the cost, and you either will be killed while resisting arrest or you will spend the rest of your lives in solitary confinement in a Supermax prison, where the highlight of your day will be 1 hour spent in a cage instead of your cell. Don't look up, that sound of propellers in the air is not a Predator drone.
Harold Koh
Seriously, a demand letter? I send demand letters all the time in my legal practice--but when some chucklehead is making a mockery of the United States of America, we should be dropping a bomb on his head. Wikileaks is endangering the safety and national security of the United States. If North Korea was lobbing artillery at us, we wouldn't send a demand letter.
Seriously, how wimpy does the Obama Administration look?

The Scotland Under-19 player Dominic Hyam has assured Ricky Sbragia he has no intention of turning his back on Scotland.
Southampton duo Sam Gallagher and Matt Targett both chose England after initially playing for the Scots.
However, England youth coach Noel Blake pointed out that Ricky Sbragia's team have plenty of players in their squad that could have made the same choice, including Hyam, the Reading central defender.
Hyam has been impressive at the centre of defence beside Dundee United's John Souttar as the Scots narrowly lost out to England and were held by Ukraine. Ahead of tomorrow's final game in the Euro Elite Group in Walsall against Montenegro, Hyam has pledged his future to Scotland.
He explained: "My dad was in the RAF from the age of 16 and used to be based at Leuchars in Fife. My mum was pregnant with me at the time and that's where I was born. He was only there for between six months and a year before we moved back down south.
"I've been there ever since, but I feel Scottish. I've got more Scottish than English in me because my dad's mum is from Dundee originally and mum's dad is from Glasgow. I was never called up by England at any age group. I've just focused on playing for Scotland and that's still the case now."
Hyam is part of a Caledonian colony at Reading with George McLennan and Harry Cardwell now in the Under-19s squad and Zak Jules and Jake Shepperd part of the Under 17 squad which reached the semi-finals of the European finals.
The goalkeeper Jonathan Henly is with the Under-21s and Tom McIntyre has also been part of the Under-19 squad too. Hyam said: "We all stick together at Reading and get a bit of stick from the English lads. They call us 'sweaty socks'. Reading are a good club for these young Scots to be nurtured."

With Black Monday in our rearview mirrors, the, now former, Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach, Chip Kelly, received the proverbial axe earlier than most and was able to book his tee times ahead of Dan Campbell and Lovie Smith.
There is no denying that Chip Kelly can coach, but is it at the College or NFL level?
As an Oregon Duck, Chip never looked better. From 2009 to 2012, before being swayed away to the NFL, Chip Kelly was able to amass a record of 46-7 and snagged the Pac-10 Coach of the Year award in 2009 and 2010.
With his abrupt ending with the Philadelphia Eagle after 3 seasons and a 26-21 record, the Dover, New Hampshire native is at a crossroads in his career; should he search for another gig with an NFL team, or return to dominance at the college level?
In the NFL, the only opportunity that would allow Chip Kelly to return as a head coach would most likely be with the Tennessee Titans. While Josh McDaniels and Hue Jackson have already been linked to the enticing job, no one has more experience with franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota than Chippy.
If Kelly can put his pride aside and admit defeat, the opportunities are endless. The 52-year-old head coach could take an offensive coordinator job with a team like the New England Patriots, who are more than likely losing Josh McDaniels for a second time. Chip's knowledge and success on offense could entice many teams to take a chance and see if he is still committed to coaching.
If Kelly wants to swallow his pride even more, top college programs could be interested in acquiring the former Coach of the Year's services. A school that has surprisingly been floated around as of late is the University of Texas. While the Longhorns are only 2 seasons deep into the Charlie Strong tenure, a program like UT cannot be mediocre for an extended amount of time. Chip Kelly has the ability to go into a struggling program and completely flip it around.

Please ask your questions and post any pertinent information you have about these topics. Please on track which includes turnouts if the question is about operation of turnouts using DCC then ask the question in the DCC forum. Eddie (the moderator) is very knowledgeable and I would prefer his forum answers these questions. 15 L A T E S T R E P L I E S (Newest First) jbvb Posted - 02/17/2018 : 08:51:36 AM In the past, I've posted pictures of the 'heel thrown point' turnout construction I'm using on my B&M Eastern Route. The turnout work shown above required two minor modifications to it:First, the fascia is low in this area because the edge of the layout is in the (model) Merrimack River. I handled this by using 2.75" point rods, only threading the lower .625" 3-48.Second, the simple form of the plexiglass coupler/insulator shown here only has one longitudinal hole. Normally, this places the block between the fascia and the slide switch. But here I had a choice: Thread several inches of the .0625" brass rod 1-72 vs. attach wood blocks to the bottom of the roadbed to support the DPDT switches.Extra threading seemed cleaner, but after turning the die more than 1,000 times to make all 3 rods, next time I'd order 1-72 threaded rod from Special Shapes instead. Michael Hohn Posted - 02/12/2018 : 09:00:34 AM James,Thank you for the detailed how-to. Mike George D Posted - 02/12/2018 : 08:22:10 AM Very interesting, James. Thanks for posting all the details of your work on the crossing. I'm adding the "notch the rails" technique to my gotta try list.George quartergauger48 Posted - 02/11/2018 : 11:27:05 PM JBVB, very nice presentation! Thanks for all the great photos and explicit explanation'..Nice work'. jbvb Posted - 02/11/2018 : 9:22:16 PM I took some photos of some moderately complicated handlaid track in HO. I thought it might be useful to show how I break a job like this down into steps:I decided to start with the more sharply curved track through the diamond. I polished the weathering off the railhead to mark where to notch for points and clean the underside for frogs and guardrails.Here I'm laying the first rail for the rightmost turnout frog. Initially, I only drive enough spikes to hold the rail roughly in gauge, usually on alternate sides of the rail. When I need to, I can wiggle or snake the rail out for filing, cleaning, cutting etc.Here I've got two turnout frogs filed and located. To work on the leftmost (distant) turnout, I'm carrying its rails over the diamond's other track. I'm trying out Tim Warris' "notch the rails" approach for the first time. My previous diamonds have been built from many little bits of rail, with much filing.Turnout frogs located, one point notch still needs to be cut. Next will be the diamond's frogs. The T-pins are holding the 'flying' rails roughly in gauge.Once everything is located, I'll cut the two loose rails to length and insert the joiners (none of the rails have been permanently spiked or soldered to yet).I've learned that this is not a good example of workholding for applying a guardrail out-of-place. If I'm to try this again, the best idea I've had yet is to spike the rails down on a throwaway piece of Homasote.And here I've learned that rotary tool cutting disks are very much not a milling machine. It was way too easy to go too deep once I got through the head and into the web, and impossible to hold the tool well while my eyes were near track level. But almost all the awful is hidden by the solder I flowed in.Note that I didn't flow the solder in till I'd securely spiked all the rails involved on every tie, checking gauge and flangeway as I went.Flangeways have been cut with the rotary tool, now I'm trying to do a better job on the other 'top' rail's guard.The masking tape did a much better job of marking cut boundaries than the razor saw nicks I made on the first pair of frogs.Better than the first pair, but cutting disk followed by filing is still very much not a milling machine. And weights on an asbestos cement board aren't a purpose-built jig.Test fit reveals more filing is needed. Layout fluid (blue dye) would have showed the high points, but could I have gotten it out of the ties and ballast?Most of the hard work is done - filling in the closure rails and points of the turnout is routine, even if you've only worked with jig-built turnouts before. It will get a lot uglier when I cut the required gaps; While I can buy a .010 thick slitting saw, I would be weeks building the tool that could safely apply it to Code 70 rail in situ.My takeaway on Tim's 'notch the rails' method:1. A good deal less filing than 'many bits of rail', and no sore fingers from holding them while I file. And so, probably faster.2. Only one rail is noticeably out of position (RH rail of the sharply curved track, between its two frogs). And it isn't far enough out to bother .088 wheels. I'd have to fill the flangeway with solder and make it flange-bearing for Proto87, though.3. It is easy to create subassemblies with a 100W soldering gun that can only be taken apart with a torch. Luckily, that torch was 75 feet away and I hadn't built the subassembly into the layout yet.4. It is easy to over-notch with hand tools. Once you've done it, you either re-do the part or you hide it by flowing solder in.Notching the rails with hand tools is not precise enough for me (at least) to create the pretty reproduction of an antique bolted light duty diamond I was originally thinking of. jbvb Posted - 06/24/2017 : 9:12:42 PM You never know; A passenger terminal for which I built most of the track and turnouts is still in service at MIT's Tech Model RR club, 39 years later. My Rowley module will pass its 29th anniversary some time this coming winter. ed k Posted - 06/24/2017 : 7:17:29 PM Let's see 20 puts me at 94 (maybe) 30, I don't think so. I have stopped jumping out of planes, so that should help.ed quartergauger48 Posted - 06/23/2017 : 7:50:32 PM We may all make another 20'. But 30 is probably a long shot'.. ed k Posted - 06/23/2017 : 7:21:20 PM I love to learn. Thank's men.ed southpier Posted - 03/27/2017 : 9:19:09 PM I won't be around in 20 or 30 years, so I am counting on the ballast cement to seal of the cork from drying out and crumbling away in my lifetime. jeyjey Posted - 03/27/2017 : 6:02:38 PM I use aliphatic resin with Sundeala (an other-side-of-the-pond product similar to homosote), but I've never tried it with cork.Cheers,Jeff. Atherton999 Posted - 03/26/2017 : 9:45:45 PM I am successfully hand laying On30 code83 on cork on top of 2" styrofoam jbvb Posted - 02/18/2017 : 08:14:21 AM I would not try to hand lay on cork, or anything softer than Homasote. Others' mileage may vary, but cork doesn't provide much grip or support for the part of the spike that extends below the tie. As far as gluing the ties to cork, aliphatic resin would do the job, but too much force on the ties later on would pull crumbs out of the cork. In the 20-30 year term, cork roadbed hardens and gets brittle. southpier Posted - 02/18/2017 : 07:25:45 AM my "searches" all timed out on this one.Q: to handlay track over cork roadbed, should i just use wood glue (aliphatic resin) for the redwood ties? Reg Barron Posted - 08/27/2016 : 12:39:16 PM I have had good luck converting HO code 100 snap and flex track to On30. I first remove a few plastic ties and replace them with soldered PC ties. Once the gauge and radius are set, I remove the rest of the plastic ties and replace them with wood ties. I use soft woof roadbed, but I think this method would also work with homosote or cork.Reg Barron Railroad Line Forums © 2000-19 Railroad Line Co. Steam was generated in 0.33 seconds.

Readers Digest "Made in America" Contest Winner!
I won 3rd place out of 1200 entrants to the Readers Digest, "Made in America" photo contest for my photo of Jonesborough, Tennessee!
I had this day down on my calendar for a good deal of the year. I had used The Photographers Ephemeris to see what day the sun would set directly down Main Street in Jonesborough. This happened to be Christmas tree lighting day as well, so I stuck around for that too. 🙂
Jonesborough Train
Speeding train through Jonesborough, Tennessee during the National Storytelling Festival (see the little tent flags above the bed of the train car blur?)
The train is a running joke/nuisance at the Festival because they won't tell you their schedule for "security" reasons and are quite loud and run past two of the tents that the stories are told in, so the storyteller will have to pause for a couple minutes while the train passes. Some have come up with little "bits" to fill the time as well.

|Source: UK National Archives. Portion from Page 1.
A copy of the will of my 5th-great-grandfather Samuel Oyler is at the UK National Archives. The will was made on 3 July 1840 in Staplehurst, Kent, England. Samuel appointed his brother George Oyler of Ticehurst, Sussex, his son-in-law William Smith (husband of daughter Betsy Oyler) and daughter Hannah Oyler Chapman (recently widowed), to be the joint executors. He asked to be buried in the churchyard in Hawkhurst. Samuel provided 10 pounds each for the executors and bequeathed his wife Elizabeth (Standen Colville) Oyler possession and use of the household goods and furniture, plates, linen, china, glass and other housekeeping effects during her life and after.
Samuel also asked that she receive quarterly payments of 52 pounds during her life. Next he provided funds for many of his children and grandchildren. Before I cover those named, it might be helpful to recap the known children of Samuel and Elizabeth.
This was the second marriage for both. Samuel had previously married Mary Hayward on 14 May 1787 in Hawkhurst, Kent. Elizabeth had been married to James Colville on 30 November 1781. James died in 1790, leaving her a widow with three children (Mary, Elizabeth and James Colville Jr). Elizabeth married Samuel Oyler on 2 April 1791 in Cranbrook, Kent. They had the following children:
1. Thomas Pettit Oyler, 1791-1842
2. Samuel Oyler, 1792-1866
3. George Oyler, 1795-1883
4. Hannah Oyler, 1797-1874
5. David Oyler, 1798-1858
6. Susanna Oyler, 1800
7. Betsy Oyler, 1802-1840
8. William Oyler, 1804
9. John Oyler, 1805
Samuel did not mention his son George in the will. George and family had left for America in 1828, and it is known he returned to England for a visit in 1839. Perhaps he had a falling out with his father. Samuel provided funds for his sons Samuel, David and William, granddaughter Mary Ongley (daughter of Susanna Oyler), step-daughter Mary Colville Chantler, son Thomas Pettit Oyler, two children of deceased son John Oyler, his wife Elizabeth, and granddaughter Betsy Smith (daughter of Betsy Oyler).
The will describes his property at Staplehurst. It had a garden pond and he had access to an alleyway used by the owners of an adjoining cottage, slaugherhouse and garden to the north of his house. Samuel had ownership rights in a barn and 20 acres of land then occupied by Thomas Huggins. Samuel left the rights to his daughter Hannah. Samuel also had contracted to sell land with seven tenements or cottages to the South Eastern Railway Company, which was building a line in Kent to London.
Samuel signed a codicil on 11 November 1840, providing for granddaughters Frances Matlida and Elizabeth (daughters of Thomas Pettit Oyler). Samuel died on 7 December 1840. According to Findagrave he is buried at St. Laurence Church in Hawkhurst, Kent.
