Commercial flights aren't known for their comfort — especially if you're flying in economy class.
And if you're on a long-haul flight (six to 12 hours) or an ultra long-haul flight (greater than 12 hours), comfort is even more important.
While you can't do anything about those shrinking airplane seats, there are several tips and tricks that can make those lengthy flights more bearable.
Choose your seat wisely
Travel writer Mark Hodson recommends using Seat Guru to find the most comfortable airline seating.
He also says sitting as far forward as possible can reduce noise, and avoiding the rows surrounding bulkhead seats can be beneficial since families with children are often seated there.
Generally, aisle seats are your best bet for comfort because they allow more room for stretching and give you easier access to the aisle and bathroom.
If you're on an airplane with a three-row configuration, the best seats are the aisles of the middle row because they give the people in the middle two options to reach the aisle.
While window seats can have great views, they've been linked to deep vein thrombosis because people in these seats are often less likely to get up and move around because they don't want to disturb their seatmates.
Pack smart

While checked-baggage fees might encourage you to bring more stuff on the plane, keep in mind this often means less legroom.
To ensure you have as much space as possible, put your carry-on bag in the overhead compartment and tuck a few items you'll use during the flight — books, headphones, etc. — into the seat-pocket.
Be sure to pack an in-flight toiletry case with basic items like a toothbrush, hand sanitizer, medicine and anything else that will make your flight more comfortable.
Other items not to forget: ear plugs, an eye mask, a neck pillow and noise-cancelling headphones.
Also, bring books, movies, music and anything else that will help you pass those long hours in the air.
Finally, dress comfortably and be sure to layer.
Stay healthy
Plane cabins are dry environments, so it's important to stay hydrated. Skip the alcohol and caffeinated beverages, and drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty.
Keep in mind that airline food is high in sodium because it's more difficult to taste most foods at 30,000 feet, and all that salt can further dehydrate you.
While you might have heard that breathing planes' recycled air can expose you to bugs, you're actually more likely to get sick from touching your armrests, seatbelt, tray table or in-flight magazine, so it's a good idea to wipe down these surfaces with sanitizing wipes.
You're going to be sitting for hours on end, so be sure to stretch often and get up from your seat and walk a bit to improve circulation.
When to sleep

To get a good idea of when you should be sleeping, change the time settings on your phone or computer to that of your destination. Also, pay attention to the cabin crew, who often give visual clues by dimming the lights.
It can be tempting to pass the hours by sleeping, but keep in mind that getting too much shut-eye can throw off your internal clock.
If you plan to take a sleeping aid, test it beforehand. You don't want to have an adverse reaction while you're in the air.
Finally, listen to your body. If your eyelids start dropping, take a nap — but don't stress if you can't fall asleep.
The best time to use the bathroom
To ensure a clean restroom and minimal wait time, Lifehacker suggests using the bathroom just after flight attendants have served food and moved out of the aisle.
While it can be cumbersome to move your tray table and maneuver yourself around other dining passengers, this is the ideal time because passengers are occupied with their food.
Just after flight attendants collect meal trays is often the busiest time for airplane bathrooms.

I was looking around my garage and got sick of looking at the stuff hanging on the stud walls..So there were a few 1×6's and 1×4's lying around. I saw this cab on a site, so thought I'd build it. Folded up it's 4' wide and 3' tall, 11" deep..The outter doors are 2' each. Unfolded it measures 8' wide..It was alot of fun..

BEAVERTON, Ore. – The City of Beaverton, in partnership with AARP Tax-Aide and Creating Assets, Savings and Hope (CASH) Oregon, is making free tax help available to area residents. The annual program runs from Jan. 31 to April 15 at the Beaverton Activities Center, 12500 SW Allen Blvd.
More than 60 IRS-certified volunteers will assist low- and middle-income residents through the process of determining the tax credits that they are eligible for, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Last year's program volunteers filed 2,291 tax returns, resulting in more than $2.8 million in tax refunds back into the community.
Eligible low-income working families may be entitled to up to $6,269 in tax refunds with the EITC, but the IRS reports that one in five workers fail to claim the EITC they earned. In 2015, more 430 local taxpayers were able to receive the EITC through Beaverton's tax assistance program, which meant additional money back that they can use for groceries, rent, and other bills.
CASH Oregon and AARP Tax-Aide provide free tax preparation and filing to thousands of low- and middle-income families and individuals throughout the Portland metro area. The partnership provides a city-sponsored site at the Beaverton Activities Center from Jan. 31 to April 15. For additional tax preparation sites, call 211 or visit www.CASHOregon.org.
Tax assistance will be offered in Beaverton from Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on a walk-in basis only. Assistance will be offered in English, Spanish, and several other languages.
What to bring for tax assistance:

Can Christians Pray the Imprecations of Psalm 69?
from W. Robert Godfrey Mar 29, 2017 Category: Articles
Psalm 69 presents familiar elements of lament and praise, but in a particularly pointed and vivid way. The suffering is poignant, the praise strong, the imprecations severe, and the anticipations of Christ detailed. The psalm is primarily a series of supplications with elaborations explaining the circumstances that have produced these... Keep Reading

R.C. Sproul on Luther & the Reformation (Plus a Free Audiobook Download)
from Karisa Schlehr Oct 31, 2011 Category: Articles
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther tacked up 95 theses on the church door at Wittenberg. With this act, he hoped to provoke a discussion among the scholars about the abuses of the indulgences by the Roman Catholic Church. He was not trying to create a public furor by any means, but within a fortnight, these theses had spread through the country like wildfire. The last thing Luther had in mind was to start some kind of major controversy, but nevertheless major controversy did begin. Keep Reading -

A Man More Sinned Against than Sinning?: The Portrait of Martin Luther in Contemporary New Testament Scholarship
from Carl R. Trueman Oct 30, 2011 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
To put it bluntly, it seems to me that the current revision of the doctrine of justification as formulated by the advocates of the so-called New Perspective on Paul is nothing less than a fundamental repudiation not just of that Protestantism which seeks to stand within the creedal and doctrinal trajectories of the Reformation but also of virtually the entire Western tradition on justification from at least as far back as Augustine.

Nothing Like the Church
from Robert Rayburn Oct 27, 2011 Category: Tabletalk Magazine
It should come as no surprise that in Western culture, triumphantly individualistic as it is, institutions tend to suffer in people's estimations. Christians, shaped too much by this culture, predictably have a diminished appreciation even for their very own institution. They may recognize a certain need for the church, but neither loyalty to and love for her, on the one hand, nor a conviction that an individual Christian's fortunes are bound up with those of the church, on the other, is as central to Christian piety as in earlier ages. Christians nowadays do not typically sing songs in their worship that express the same sentiment as did the once treasured hymns "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken," "The Church's One Foundation," or "I Love Thy Kingdom Lord."

Purity, Power, and the Missing Mark of the Church
from Bill Parker Oct 24, 2011 Category: Articles
Arguably the best general description of the effect the New Testament Church had on its society is given by Luke in Acts 17:6. When an unruly mob could not find Paul and Silas — the source of their irritation — they dragged other Christians before the city officials and declared, "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also" (Acts 17:6). What was intended as a damning criticism, however, was actually an unintended accolade because unbelievers were admitting that the early Christians were having a substantial impact upon society, a society characterised by polytheism, gladiatorial combats, sex outside of marriage, divorce, infanticide, and abortion. This account sounds just like life in early twenty-first century Western civilization, doesn't it? Well, it does, except for the bit about the church turning the world upside down. Keep Reading

Smarter Living
Mine are all on my computer (only half are backed up...I should get on that...). I sometimes get them printed at Walmart or Walgreens. I used to upload them to snapfish or shutterfly, but haven't in a while. I've never made those photo books, but am always thinking about it. I have THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of digital photos of my kiddos...and they mostly just sit there (well, I do share them on facebook).
What do you do with yours?
I do Shutterfly for the most part. I love the photo books, and with the Pampers GTG I usually only have to pay shipping.
Sometimes I go to walmart, sams, or walgreens when I get coupon for b1g1 or Sams sent me a coupon for 25 free prints.
I am a picture taker. Dh says I have documented every second of DD's life lol. I scrapbook too so I try to develop as many as possible

Question for Darvish Collectors
I thought this card only came as an autograph and was a redemption card?
Friend of mine is interested and asked me about it, I know nothing, so I thought I would ask ya'll (he isn't a big board reader/google user, haha). It ends in 20 minutes, so I don't think anyone on here will be competing for it "simply because I posted the card." (For those who I am sure will say something along those lines... Again, just looking for any input, not my auction, don't have any personal interest in it, just looking for any additional info the folks on here can offer!

10 MHz, 4-Quadrant Multiplier/Divider
Features and Benefits
- High Accuracy 0.1% Typical Error
- High Speed
10 MHz Full-Power Bandwidth
450 V/µs Slew Rate
200 ns Settling to 0.1% at Full Power - Direct Division Mode 2 MHz BW at Gain of 100
- Low Distortion
-80 dBc from Any Input
Third-Order IMD Typically -75 dBc at 10 MHz
- Low Noise
94 dB SNR, 10 Hz to 20 kHz
70 dB SNR, 10 Hz to 10 MHz
Product Details
The AD734 is an accurate high speed, four-quadrant analog multiplier that is pin-compatible with the industry-standard AD534 and provides the transfer function W = XY/U. The AD734 provides a low-impedance voltage output with a full-power (20 V pk-pk) bandwidth of 10 MHz. Total static error (scaling, offsets, and nonlinearities combined) is 0.1% of full scale. Distortion is typically less than -80 dBc and guaranteed. The low capacitance X, Y and Z inputs are fully differential. In most applications, no external components are required to define the function.
The internal scaling (denominator) voltage U is 10 V, derived from a buried-Zener voltage reference. A new feature provides the option of substituting an external denominator voltage, allowing the use of the AD734 as a two-quadrant divider with a 1000:1 denominator range and a signal bandwidth that remains 10 MHz to a gain of 20 dB, 2 MHz at a gain of 40 dB and 200 kHz at a gain of 60 dB, for a gain-bandwidth product of 200 MHz.
The advanced performance of the AD734 is achieved by a combination of new circuit techniques, the use of a high speed complementary bipolar process and a novel approach to laser-trimming based on ac signals rather than the customary dc methods. The wide bandwidth (>40 MHz) of the AD734's input stages and the 200 MHz gain-bandwidth product of the multiplier core allow the AD734 to be used as a low distortion Modulator, Demodulator Wideband Gain Control, RMS-DC Conversion Voltage-Controlled Amplifiers, Oscillators, and Filters Demodulator with 40 MHz Input Bandwidth demodulator with input frequencies as high as 40 MHz as long as the desired output frequency is less than 10 MHz.
The AD734AQ and AD734BQ are specified for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and come in a 14-pin ceramic DIP. The AD734SQ/883B, available processed to MIL-STD- 883B for the military range of -55°C to +125°C, is available in a 14-pin ceramic DIP.

[[WMG:The Majority of this Sonic Cartoon is set in an alternate-dimension or alternate-level Mobius]]
Given that since the [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 first two]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Sonic games]] that it has been possible for Sonic and Tails to warp between dimensions using a combination of ring orbs and ring-gateway devices to get all seven Chaos Emeralds, it's plausible to think that the majority of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episodes take place in a dimension between dimensions where the sky and land are a different colour pallet from their regular dimension in regular Mobius. Either that, or it is actually mostly set in underground Mobius where many different and strange beings have lived and 'evolved' over the future years that Sonic and Co. are said to be set in in most other media.
[[WMG: SonicSatAM is actually a fanfiction written by Sonic's fangirl Sonette, from ''Mystery Of The Missing High-Tops'']]
She changed her real name to Sonette, due to being Sonic's biggest fan, so it's possible that she gave her Birth name Sally to her AuthorAvatar, replaced Tails as Sonic's partner, while said fox cub was written into a role that would have him play the child to their Mommy and Daddy dynamic. Hodge Podge, a rabbit with [[TheDeepSouth a southern accent]] was likely the insparation for Bunny, while his bellboy uniform was the inspiration for Antoine's appearance.
[[WMG:Tails is really Royalty]]
In part two of the Quest for The Chaos Emeralds saga, [[{{Myth/Merlin}} Merlynx]] tells Robotnik that in order to use the emerald he must become King. Tails, however, was able to activate it and gain a HeroicBuild without getting the crown. The reason? The King's daughter married a vulpine nobleman, with GenderEqualsBreed being in effect, making Tails a descendant of ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'''s [[Myth/KingArthur King Arfur]]. His past before meeting Sonic was never fully explored, so it's possible that he's the long lost heir to the throne.
** That could also explain how the 5 Sonics and Tailses defeated the Supreme High Robotnik despite having that Emerald in his possession.
[[WMG:Sonic actually had [[Main/GettingCrapPastTheRadar no idea what he was actually talking about]] during his [[Main/AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle Sonic Sez segment]] on [[Main/SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes 'Touching']]]]
Depending on the show's [[Main/InUniverse in-universe]] rules, It turns out that when Sonic had been called out again to film his next Sonic Sez [[Main/PublicServiceAnnouncement PSA]] segment; -in part because he's still around the age of 11- the producers of the segment found that they could get the young Superhero to [[NoPunIntended touch]] on this sort of subject by flat out [[Main/BlatantLies lying to Sonic]] that it was a moral segment on the topic of bullying rather than unwarranted harassment as it turns out to be.
* This piece of [[WildMassGuessing WMG]] could make for some [[Main/OldShame Cringeworthy In Hindsight]] moments for the [[Main/IHatePastMe present 16-17 year old Sonic]] if this topic were to be brought up in any piece of Sonic medium or fan work that had any [[Main/FridgeLogic fridge agenda]] for Sonic and Co., although whether it would be more hilarious or more horrifying is a [[Main/NightmareFuel hanging question]].
[[WMG:This series is canon to the games]]
The show takes place between ''Sonic 4'' and ''SonicUnleashed''. And going by the above...
* Tails' personality in the games appears to be largely based on a less extreme version of his personality here - Exactly what could be expected from growing a few years.
[[WMG:The series takes place after WesternAnimation/{{Sonic SatAM}}]]
Where the Freedom Fighters have disbanded, and Dr. Robotnik never fully recovered from his VillainousBreakdown at the end of the last episode.
[[WMG:The series takes place before WesternAnimation/{{Sonic SatAM}}]]
Dr. Robotnik had a FromNobodyToNightmare moment, and started taking his hatred of Sonic to new levels, taking over the world.
* That moment is when he began to use the Roboticizer. Even Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts think [[EvenEvilHasStandards it's horrible]] and decides to [[HeelFaceTurn leave Robotnik's employment]]. Which is fine with Robotnik since he's grown [[ShooOutTheClowns weary with their constant incompetence]].
* Interestingly, [=AoStH=] originally was intended to be a prequel.
[[WMG:They [[TranslationConvention aren't]] really speaking English]]
See [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7-TnDYWUbI this scene]] from Tails's Tale. Look at the obvoiusly non-English writing on the monitor.
[[WMG:Grounder is a prototype version of the [[VideoGame/BioShock Bouncer Big Daddy]].]]
They both have drill hands. That's about it.
[[WMG: Grounder, Coconuts and Scratch are actually robotic [[AlternateUniverse Alternate Universe]] Versions of WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy respectively]]
Scratch is the super squad's idealistic high-voiced team leader and lead scam- err... trap artist.\\
Grounder is the big doofus with a will to work, but whose low intelligence will turn out to be the squad's undoing.\\
Coconuts is the intelligent but also weakest and most ill-fated of the group who will very often be seen cleaning up the place in the lure of his piers.
* Alternatively, Scratch can be seen as the most intelligent, focused and organised of the group while Coconuts can be seen as the short -and also high voiced- egotistical big planner who will often get the bad end of the stick at the end of another misadventure.
[[WMG: Had the series continued, Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts would have been shown to be Minions With Fs In Evil (or even more blatantly if they were already) and eventually make Heel-Face Turns.]]
Would it be that surprising?
[[WMG: The [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog Super Genesis Wave]] has [[CosmicRetcon rewritten]] the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog universe into a world similar to the video games but with some of the cartoon's elements intact.]]
[[WMG:The entire series is one long FeverDreamEpisode for the Sonic from [[WesternAnimation/{{Sonic SatAM}} the Saturday morning cartoon]].]]
And Sally's presence in the final episode is an indicator that he'll be waking up soon - the fog in his brain has finally cleared up enough to where he can somewhat her voice as she talks to him, and this is reflected in her being registered into his subconscious thoughts - albeit having a different appearance.
* Scratch is really Cluck, Grounder is really Snively (they're both pointy), and Caninestein is a mix of Uncle Chuck and Muttski.
[[WMG: Scratch and Grounder Are Incompetent on Purpose]]
If they ever successfully captured and killed Sonic then their mission would be over and Robotnik would melt them down for parts. They're really just ObfuscatingStupidity because they don't want to die.

"Murphy was an optimist!"
Strange Inventions October 10, 2006 9:49 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Of InterestMy current project involves the US Patent Office. In randomly searching patents I came across Patent #5782779 for a vibrating tampon which first showed up in the US Patent Office June of 1947 and is currently not available to the general public because they are "…in the process of developing high speed manufacturing equipment." I would hope the vibrator would have a high speed! The ladies will have to wait until late 2007.
Btw, I found it randomly after growing tired of looking at Patent #5000000 for Ethanol production by Escherichia coli strains co-expressing Zymomonas PDC and ADH genes.

These blueberry muffins with streusel topping are delicious!
I have been doing a lot of cooking this past week and as a result I have so many new yummy recipes to share with you that I don't know which one to share first!!
I picked up a half flat of blueberries at the Farmer's Market on Saturday so I guess we will start with a blueberry recipe. The majority of the berries went into the freezer for winter time treats but I did use some of them for some of our favorite blueberry muffins.
I have had this recipe for years. It comes from a little spiral bound cookbook I picked up a long time ago called Company's Coming Muffins & More. The muffins are actually a combination of two recipes – the Blueberry Muffin recipe and the streusel topping from the Apple Streusel Muffins.
Saturday night the girls invited two of our younger neighbors, Brock and Olivia, over for a backyard campout. They pitched the tent in the backyard.
They had to get up early Sunday morning to go to church so I thought I would entice them out of the tent and into the house with some fresh baked blueberry muffins – wouldn't that get you out of bed?!
Well it worked!
This recipe works well with fresh blueberries or frozen.
They are good without the streusel topping too but I much prefer them with the topping. In fact I have been known to pick the topping off and only eat it!
I thought the muffins looked especially yummy on the new vintage tablecloth I picked up at a little resale shop I found on a trip to Milwaukie, Oregon last week. I had some time to waste before an appointment I had and stumbled upon the cute little shop!
Sunday morning, as I was enjoying a muffin along with the campers I thought that the next time I made them I would try adding a little cinnamon into the streusel topping – yum! Do you have a favorite muffin recipe?
- 1¾ C All purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ C butter
- ½ C sugar
- 1 egg
- ¾ C Milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 Tbsp all purpose flour
- ½ C packed brown sugar
- ¼ C all purpose flour
- ¼ C butter
- In a large bowl put flour, baking powder and salt
- Stir together thoroughly
- Make a well in center
- In another bowl cream butter and sugar
- Beat in egg until quite smooth
- Mix in milk and vanilla Pour into well
- Stir just to moisten
- Batter will be lumpy
- Stir blueberries with flour lightly
- Fold into batter
- Fill greased muffin cups ¾ full
- Add streusel topping (see below) if desired.
- Bake in 400 degreen oven for 20-25 minutes until nicely browned. Makes 16 muffins (mine only made 12)
- After you remove them from the oven losen around the edges.
- The streusel topping hardens as it cools and it can make it difficult to remove from the pan.
- I just run a toothpick around the edge, pushing the streusel topping off of the pan and onto the muffin
- In small bowl rub sugar, flour and butter until crumbly
- Sprinkle muffin with topping prior to baking

Leticia Romero tied her season high with 18 points and Adut Bulgak posted her 17th career double-double to lead No. 16 Florida State past Pitt, 66-55, Sunday at Petersen Events Center.
Bulgak had 11 points and 12 rebounds while Shakayla Thomas added 12 points for the Seminoles (14-4, 4-1 ACC), who dominated scoring in the paint, 40-18.
Brittany Brown's jump shot gave Florida State its largest lead of 23 points in the third quarter.
Pitt scored the first 12 points of the fourth, but could only get as close as nine on Cassidy Walsh's 3-pointer with 30 seconds left.
Brenna Wise scored 14 points, Walsh had 11 and Stasha Carey added 10 for the Panthers (8-10, 0-5), who have lost six in a row.

Michigan 91, Penn State 87: Teniya Paige's game-high 31 points weren't for the Nittany Lions (6-11, 1-5 Big Ten) at home against the Wolverines (11-6, 3-3).
Pitt's women's team has landed Canadian guard Shay Colley, a transfer from second-ranked South Carolina. Colley appeared in 11 games this season as a freshman for the Southeastern Conference favorite Gamecocks, averaging 12.9 minutes and 2.7 points per game. She will be eligible at midseason next year per NCAA guidelines.

Corner Weight Scales & Scale Accessories
Improper corner weights can make the most accurate suspension alignment worthless. Unequal cross weights can destroy a road racing car's handling and sap driver confidence. Conversely, preloading one rear wheel (especially in drag racing) can help put more power to the ground through an open differential. Pegasus offers several different corner balance scale systems to suit most budgets.

yeah a lot of the queenstown activities are pretty active orientated, its like a grown ups playground. There is tourist shops and burger joints and stuff like that in the heart of the city.
I think there was a casino there, i didn't notice to much cuz i was one of the people doing all the crazy stuff (FYI do NOT do the mad dog)
I saw a shop that rented out bikes so you could see the city. There was also horse back riding that you could do, im not sure were it went but the area is so beautiful that any of it would be great. There is alot of culture in that area im sure there is a tour for that as well.
hope that helps - 0 people like this

It was a big day at Fenway Park — and not just for the Boston Red Sox.
On the same day the team received their World Series rings, Cody Anderson and Shannon Armitage, who met on Twitter in 2011, were married at the home of their favorite team.
It was only fitting that their nuptials would occur at Fenway as a Twitter posting from the team account had put them into contact in the first place.
A 2011 birthday tweet from the Boston Red Sox to Armitage had caught Anderson's eye.
He reached out to her, which led to more tweets, then texts — and the rest, as they say, is history.
Naturally, given Twitter's role in their love story, the couple tweeted as their big moment approached at Fenway.

Where I stayed
Oscar's Apartment
We went to a place that was 100% american burgers. I got a Mexican burger. It was ok, but I would have rather done some German cuisine. We went back to his place and drank a beer and talked for awhile. I showed him all my pics, then he went to bed and I went online to call my parents and upload photos to facebook. I got to talk to a few people on facebook until I went to bed at 4am.

My apologies for the lack of posts. I was on vacation last week and I didn't make a single bento. I truly meant to make bento lunches for BF all week but somehow I managed to sleep in every single day. And I ended up not having time to go for groceries over the weekend, so this morning when I got up to make bento I was pretty short on options and ingredients. Which is how we ended up with snack bentos instead of bento lunches.
I grabbed some onigiris from the fridge and put some faces on them. There are gyoza from a batch I made this weekend and a boiled quail egg for some added protein. For veggies there are edamame (frozen), sweet potato sakuras (I love sweet potatos, they last forever), the last two stalks of asparagus and some sugar snaps. I used a few black sesame seeds to decorate the sakuras and I think they turned out really cute. For fruit there are just two cherries in each and a few blueberries.
I used my Cinnamoroll snack bento box and BF used his blue polka dot snack bento box. From the picture it looks like mine is much larger, but they're actually about the same size, BF's is just deeper. I kind of enjoy the fact that they are different shapes because I like the mental exercise of figuring out two different layouts. It's a good little puzzle to help me wake up in the morning.
We managed to get out for groceries tonight, so it should be back to business as usual. My favorite thing that we picked up was the tiniest bunch of vine tomatoes that I have ever seen in my life. They are so small!! And so pretty still on the vine. I put a quarter next to them so you can get a feel for the size. In the back of the bunch there is the tiniest one of all, it's my favorite.

Yes, the sesame seeds were a great touch. They look surprised to be eaten! ;)

lol, I actually do that on purpose. BF sometimes jokingly complains about all the cute things in his lunch, so sometimes I like to put something that's either angry or scared that it's about to be eaten rather than something cute so that he gets his way once in a while :P

During the '70s I went to two 3 month courses on special paint finishes, taught by Leonard Pardon in a studio behind Knightsbridge. I was very keen on painted and decorative furniture and thought it would be interesting to study the genre. I have kept the kit ever since and it is time to pass it on - it is very complete with about 20 special brushes of all sizes - some are sable, camel, badger, and so on. There is also a big set of metal combs for graining in a metal sleeve and a Faber Castell drawing set for plans and diagrams (unused!), lots of paints probably too dry for use now, not forgetting the invaluable white goose feathers! There is a large file of pictures, recipes and notes from other special effect experts. I remember the brushes were very expensive, so we had to take particular care in keeping them clean, soft and supple. I will sell the lot (a biggish box-full) for £35. Seen and collected near Bath. Contact E.Baer 01225 866 136 (eves) or email@example.com The kit is now SOLD

How Green was my Lawn
The picture of my 'drying ground' was taken in front of our last house in Freshford. The grassy sloping area was used for drying all the household linens and the green helped to bleach it (with the help of the sun and the moon). I copied this ancient custom when I had to wash a huge roll of fine linen. After halving it to fit in my super large washing machine, Natasha, my grandaughter, and I spread it out and were just beginning to roll it back for ironing, when two important visitors arrived, and from the balcony above, shouted to us to leave it as they wanted to photograph the scene. They were two powerful magazine editors, one from Country Living and the other from Victoria, US home mag., ( a very happy article about my work appeared, it then folded. but is now back in publication).
The villages of Sharpstone and Freshford had been the original homes of Georgian washerwomen using our river Frome, and they washed the laundry sent from Bath where the waters were muddy and polluted; so of course, I was christened the 'Last Washerwoman of Freshford'.

Kaari, my Hollywood Star
I met Kaari a long time ago, just before she set off from her old New York jewellery business to find a new life with her sister in California. She bought from me a small drawer crammed with woven initial name -tapes in lovely scrolly style from pre-war France -- there were about 27X27 X 144, altogether, neatly packed in little cardboard boxes and she intended starting up a vintage linen and laundry business in California. She drove by car from N.Y. to L.A. and that was all she had room for! Within a couple of years she had produced four delightful books about French inspired interiors and other designs, wonderfully coloured and decorated with charming jewellery, paper ephemera, retro fabric designs, including the name tapes, and was being featured by all the ladies' home magazines. She has continued to produce a delectable variety of books, original furnishing ideas, teach classes, and is now planning a 'teach in' week in a chateau in S.W.France to show the French way of life. We have a lot in common and we keep in touch with our respective Blogs. You can see my curtains (French 'Indienne') in this view of her Hollywood bedroom! Log on to email@example.com for colour, style and inspiration.

A pair of Kelsches from Alsace Lorraine
This traditional damask woven pattern is very typical of the covers made for feather bedding. It only comes in red or blue, and I have had tablecloths and napkins in this design. The Kelsches were piled up on the bed, usually two below and one above the sleeper and were extremely warm for the very cold winters when there was no heating in the houses. The feathers were contained in down-proof bags which were sealed tight shut, and sewn with very fine stitches, but these washable covers were buttoned together or fastened with tapes. They are backed with cream calico They have become very popular recently and it is good to have a pair in unused condition. They can make useful covers for shabby eiderdowns, or attractive curtains and covers for kitchens.

Our super-fair at Yarlington is now past, so I take a little time to thank all who contributed to this highly successful event - both the stall holders who were so good and helpful in every way and the public who came in their hundreds (maybe thousands) to support this special event. The house and garden are well known for their early Georgian beauty, the decorative interiors, the classic buildings in and around the mansion and the romantic gardens where the flowering plants were at their very best. There were even Somerset dairy cows in the park so the picture was complete. Buyers rushed to the bargain Bring and Buy heaps in the yard and carried away bags of loot, leaving behind over £2000 cash for the charities, the lawn looked as busy as Wimbledon, hundreds strolling round the jolly pavilions and gazebos and the Macmillan team in smart green aprons produced delicious plates of home-made treats and keeping the tea kettles boiling. Yarlington events are always very special and our generous hosts work themselves incredibly hard to make them so. I have been quite overcome with all the compliments since and thank all concerned for the success which has raised many thousands for Macmillan and the Royal School of Needlework (who provided 4 stimulating lectures about their Royal commissions and history). This is a fabulous place to stage your wedding or corporate event. Enquiries 01963 210 200.
All things bright and beautiful.
This is Lucas McKenna at work creating new signature patchwork designs for the firm SQUINT. It may look haphazard but the results are a very carefully composed patchwork using many modern fabrics. There are many more pages about this remarkable man and his work to be seen in SPITALFIELDS LIFE website
which I highly recommend if you have time to spare and get some pleasure from your computer! Look for Lucas!

After a lifetime of doing, making and hoarding, it is time to clear the decks and pass my goods on to anyone who can make use of them. SO..... when I have my penultimate textile fair in September, I will have a garage sale of surplus (and I hope useful) goods at give-away prices. These range from sale room narrow display counters (3 matching), cubby holes in a large cabinet, folding bookshelves, white wire hanging racks and basket stands for shop display and various really large wooden racks for really bulky storage - blankets, linens pillows etc.,also many kinds of fittings, for pegboarding, curtain poles and finials, curtain headings (rings, hooks in many sizes) and some household fittings left over from various country house moves in my life - door fittings, lighting chandeliers, table lamps, etc., and garden stuff - if you are interested to view these in advance, telephone me evenings 01225 866 136 to arrange appointment. I am anxious to reduce all this as soon as possible before taking it to our local recycle dump! We are not moving house just yet but trying to make maintenance of our wonderful old house simpler!

Developing the Geospatial Workforce
Do we have a sufficient geospatial workforce to meet national needs and spur innovation? Several efforts by the National Geospatial Advisory Committee, NRC Mapping Science Committee, ASPRS, Association of American Geographers, and others are exploring this issue.
National Geospatial Advisory Committee – Workforce Development Subcommittee
- Geospatial Workforce Development Subcommittee Update, June 2010
- Geospatial Workforce Development Subcommittee Update, September 2010
National Research Council Ongoing Studies and Reports
- The National Research Council (NRC) will be conducting a study on the future U.S. workforce for geospatial intelligence. An ad hoc committee will examine the need for geospatial intelligence expertise in the United States compared with the production of experts in the relevant disciplines, and discuss possible ways to ensure adequate availability of the needed expertise.
- NRC. 2010. Precise Geodetic Infrastructure: National Requirements for a Shared Resource, p. 107-108. "The committee found that one of the weakest links in the implementation of the precise geodetic infrastructure was a lack of a trained workforce to develop and maintain the infrastructure in the coming decades.

Hamster Free Zip Archiver is a data compression utility for creating and decompressing ZIP and 7ZIP files. Without much regard for the complex interface of applications such as WinZip and 7Zip or even WinRAR, Hamster's ZIP Archiver looks more like a flash game than a compression utility.
The interface of Hamster is overall 'cute', a word we normally wouldn't use for an archiver. But with that said, it does great work zipping and unzipping files and for that, this program gets our thumbs up. What's better is the fact that the source code is fully available and it is distributed as freeware, something WinZip users might dread.
Since it is a free application, Hamster's Zip Archiver doesn't contain all of the fancy bells and whistles or configuration options of its rivals. Though that might just be the main selling point of this program, because it's so easier to use and it's fast!
Hamster Free Zip Archiver is licensed as Freeware for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system / platform from file archivers without restrictions. Hamster Free Zip Archiver 184.108.40.206a is available to all software users as a free download (Freeware).
Compatibility with this software may vary, but will generally run fine under Microsoft Windows 10, 8, 8.1, 7, Vista and XP on either a 32-bit or 64-bit setup. A separate x64 version may be available from Hamster Soft.
We have tested Hamster Free Zip Archiver 184.108.40.206a against malware with several different programs. We certify that this program is clean of viruses, malware and trojans. [Read more] |

Martin Jol started with an attacking line-up for the visit of Manchester United to Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening but it was United who drew first blood on five minutes when Danny Welbeck finished off a surging move with a simple finish from the edge of the six yard box. The instigator of the move was the in-form Nani, whose surging run down the left wing created the opening.
The goal was the only spark of activity from the opening exchanges, with most of the game's early moments being played at more of a measured pace. Fulham were certainly enjoying more time in possession than their opponents, but United's attacks, though sporadic, were the more penetrative.
David Stockdale was clearly the busier of the two goalkeepers, having to produce routine saves from Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney but as the pressure started to grow on the Fulham back line Stockdale was becoming an increasingly important figure for the Whites.
United doubled their lead on 27 minutes when a corner routine saw Ryan Giggs swing a dangerous delivery into the Fulham penalty area. Nani was able to get in front of his marker and glance a header past the outstretched palm of Stockdale and into the far corner of the net.
Manchester United's wide players were the key factor in the visitors' attacking play. Antonio Valencia was a constant threat down the United right wing and Nani, playing in more of a floating role, was proving instrumental in most of United's best attacks.
United made it three-nil on 42 minutes after Ryan Giggs' shot cruelly deflected off Philippe Senderos and looped agonisingly over the head of David Stockdale.
Fulham made a positive opening to the second-half, playing at a visibly higher pace than in the first 45 minutes. A spell of Fulham pressure early in the half culminated in Clint Dempsey forcing a fine save from Andres Lindegaard after a Danny Murphy corner.
Fulham continued to press and shots from Mousa Dembele and John Arne Riise had Lindegaard looking on nervously – whilst a Clint Dempsey daisy cutter produced a comfortable stop from United's Danish goalkeeper.
A series of niggling fouls and stoppages in play disrupted Fulham's momentum and United were again back in control. Danny Welbeck came close to scoring his second of the match but his goal bound effort deflected wide after striking Chris Baird.
As the second-half progressed Fulham started to attack with more urgency and only timely blocks from the United defence prevented Mousa Dembele and Clint Dempsey from testing Lindegaard.
Stephen Kelly replaced Chris Baird midway through the second-half as Martin Jol looked to reduce Fulham's deficit.
The Whites created a fine scoring opportunity for Andrew Johnson on 77 minutes, with the striker being played through into space in the penalty area. Johnson's powerful strike was tipped over the bar by Lindegaard – unfortunately the touch was not spotted by the officials and United resumed with a goal kick.
Wayne Rooney made it four for the visitors on 87 minutes with a spectacular shot from 30 yards that gave David Stockdale little chance. The scoring was rounded off on added time when substitute Dimitar Berbatovback heeled over the line from two yards.

Buffalo 32s Rolloff
With switch S3, you can select between fast and slow rolloff. Here is a plot which shows how the two modes look in the frequency domain. Most will probably prefer the fast mode because of its superior aliasing rejection.

Buffalo 32s Aliasing and Intermodulation
For those who are interested, here is another FFT-plot of an input of two sinewaves at 18 and 20 kHz at -20 dB. The remaining aliasing components at 24.1 and 26.1 kHz are vanishingly small. Also important, there is not a trace of intermodulation distortion at 2 kHz; which shows excellent design of the IVY-circuitry!
High frequencies at such high amplitudes are practically never present in music signals, so you may look at this as sort of a stress test; but the results are certainly reassuring. Kurt |

Re: Re: Sold Out
There will be more pre-orders available next week, with a ship date about two weeks after the second batch. Trying to spread it out a little to keep it manageable. Since the sales rate seems to be a little more rational, I will forgo the timers and such and just make them available. |

Hi Russ and Brian~!
I place an order last night (AU time) and I just wanted to make sure that all is good. Name is Tom Booker. Also I was planning on useing the same lcdps to power the digital section and the 4:1mux. I saw the output ratings for the lcdps and the power req of the two boards and they seemed to be fine. Is this a problem? Also I know the crystal ball is a little cloudy and that you are redesigning it but... do you envisiage the Placid dps to have roughly the same footprint as the lcdps?

Ashely Judd Fires Back After Being Slammed by Karl Rove's Conservative Group
The actress, who is mulling a run for a senate seat from her native Kentucky, has been the subject of blistering criticism from GOP-aligned political groups.
If and when Ashley Judd decides to mount a run for the U.S. senate, she'll already be well-versed in the language of political attack ads.
The veteran actress has been mulling a 2014 run for GOP senate minority leader Mitch McConnell's seat in Kentucky, and in preparation for her possible entry into the race, conservative operative Karl Rove and his American Crossroads are working to paint her as an out-of-touch liberal who has abandoned the state.

In a new ad, the group attacks Judd's residency in Tennessee and allegiance to President Barack Obama.
"Her own grandmother says she's a Hollywood liberal," a foreboding voiceover warns. "Isn't that exactly what we need? Ashley Judd, an Obama-following, radical, Hollywood liberal, who's right at home here in Tennessee. I mean, Kentucky."
The video features various clips of Judd speaking about her support for Obama, as well as out of context quotes from various interviews and speeches. The video will circulate on the web as part of a $10,000 ad buy against the actress.
Judd's publicist shot back in a statement to the Washington Post, saying, "Ashley thanks Senator McConnell, Karl Rove and their negative allies for all the attention as she considers her future political plans, although a decision hasn't been made yet."

"With the new Wideband variant of ChannelCore Flex, you can now monitor multi-GHz bandwidths," explained Dr Alex Kuhrt, RFEL's CEO. "This enables either hardware costs to be reduced or more bandwidth monitoring to be performed for a similar system cost."
Previously, the core was limited to input bandwidths around 300 MHz but this wideband input option introduces a parallel architecture supporting multi-GHz bandwidths. The input parallelism is scalable so that the practical input bandwidth limit is governed only by the available FPGA resources. RFEL has already successfully delivered a 2 GHz version to a major European customer, implemented on a Xilinx Zynq 7045 device.
The core uses a novel architecture to implement a large number of Digital Down Converter (DDC) channels very efficiently. FPGA resources are used in proportion to the log of the number of channels enabling thousands of channels to be implemented in a moderately sized FPGA.
Real-time, on-the-fly control is available for each channel to change the input source selection, centre frequency, sample rate, gain and filter response including bandwidth. There is a user programmable option to maintain phase coherency when reprogramming channels and the core is still capable of being phase coherent across multiple cores.
Each channel has excellent RF performance with SFDR of greater than 80 dBc, 80% Nyquist pass-band and a passband ripple of less than 0.1 dB. A fractional rate resampler is provided on each channel, allowing resampling to sub-Hz accuracy, making ChannelCore Flex a solution that delivers performance using a low power budget and highly effective use of FPGA resources. The core also now supports VITA 49 timestamping.
RFEL can provide free, fully operational, fully featured cores to support system design and evaluation in either MATLAB or ModelSim. These evaluation models operate for 60 minutes before reboot allowing time for extensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the design. The time limitation is removed when the core is programmed
