Clients from out of state regularly make the trip to see us for our expert system design and installation services. From a simple speaker replacement or radio upgrade to a multi-zone entertainment system on a cruiser or a high-power audio system on a wakeboard boat, our team can do it all.
An Exceptional Customer Experience
Our goal is to ensure that doing business with Sound Depot and Performance is easy and straightforward. Our team will always take the time to fully understand your goals and expectations for your audio system upgrade and work with you to design a solution that will look and sound great.
Premium Marine Entertainment Products
Part of why so many clients come back to Sound Depot each time they purchase a new boat are the solutions we offer. With hundreds of options available, our staff takes the time to source products that not only look and sound great but will stand the test of time. Product reliability is key to keeping our clients happy. Our prestigious marine audio offerings include JL Audio, Hertz, Rockford Fosgate and Kenwood. Each brand offers a unique portfolio of solutions that sound great while offering excellent reliability in the harsh marine environment.
Expert System Design
Another reason clients travel from all over the southeastern US to see is us for our expertise in marine audio system design. Knowing how many speakers to use, where to install them, what source unit offers the right features and how to maximize the performance of the amplifiers we suggest ensures that your music will sound great in any seat on the boat and at the end of the tow-rope.
Marine Audio Installation Experts
Working on boats requires a very different skill set than required for cars, trucks and SUVs. Our team of marine audio installation experts has decades of experience working on boats of every conceivable size and shape. We know where we can install speakers and subwoofers, how to run wiring and where best to locate source units and remote controls for convenient system operation.
The materials we use in our installations are as unique as our processes. We work with JL Audio and Stinger marine-grade interconnects, and we use power wire and speaker cable designed specifically for marine applications. This wiring exceeds the UL 1426, ABYC and US Coast Guard standards. The wires' tinned copper construction resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, heat, abrasion and ultra-violet radiation.
We construct mounting panels for amplifiers and reinforcement panels for speakers and subwoofers from composite materials like King Starboard. This marine-grade HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is completely water-resistant, so it won't swell, rot or go moldy like wood when it gets wet. Our fabrication team can shape it quickly and efficiently for whatever application they need. We use only stainless-steel mounting hardware and fasteners to ensure your system will look great and remain serviceable for the life of your boat.
It's safe to say that we won't be the least expensive source for installing an audio system on your boat, but we can guarantee that our products and services are among the very best available. Our goal is to do everything right the first time, every time.
Florida's Marine Entertainment System Experts

General Chapter
From Monday 7th September until Friday 11th September the majority of Sisters and Brothers from the First Order of the Society of St Francis met in the King's Park Conference Centre (Northampton) for the General Chapter. The theme for this General Chapter was engaging with people of non-Christian Faiths and we had the great privilege of meeting people from the Buddhist, Jewish and Muslim Faiths. On Tuesday morning Fr Damian Howard SJ delivered a most interesting lecture on Islam suggesting that we should not be afraid to engage our Muslim friends and neighbours in conversation about our Faiths. In the afternoon we heard a thought provoking lecture on Buddhism given by Ajahn Amaro who is the Abbot of the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery. On Wednesday morning Dr Jane Williams gave two sessions on two meditations on passages of Scripture which suggest a possible framework for co-operation with people of other faiths and then on Wednesday afternoon two expeditions were organised, one to Amaravati Buddhist Monastery and the other to the Benedictine Monastery in Turvey. On Thursday morning we were introduced by Professor David Ford to the practice of 'Scriptural Reasoning' (a way of discussing comparable passages of Scripture with people of other Faiths) and were then able to observe a Scriptural Reasoning session being conducted by Christians, Jews and Muslims. On Thursday evening we were fortunate to be joined by our Bishop Protector (Bishop Stephen Cottrell of the Diocese of Chelmsford) who celebrated Mass with us an delivered an entertaining and challenging sermon.

Cast: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough
Directed by and co-written for the screen by Joseph Kosinski
Running time: 127 minutes
Reviewed by Wayne C. Rogers
I broke down and went to the movies on Thursday after work. I actually wanted to see Olympus Has Fallen, but the scheduled show times had changed. So, I opted for Oblivion with Tom Cruise. I'd already seen the trailer for the film, and it looked pretty good.
The great news is that while at the theater I also saw the trailers for R.I.P.D. with Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. That looked damned good. Then, there was the trailer for Elysium with Matt Damon. I hoped Oblivion would be as good as the preview for Elysium.
It wasn't.
All through the movie I found myself wishing I was actually watching either R.I.P.D or Elysium, but I wasn't.
The story takes place in 2077. Sixty years before, when a U.S. spacecraft was sent to one of Saturn's moons, it encountered a monstrous alien spacecraft that later attacked earth for its sources of energy. The humans won the battle, but earth was destroyed in the process with large parts of it becoming radioactive and uninhabitable.
Now, in 2077, Jack Harper (Cruise) and Victoria (Andra Riseborough) man a module 24/7 and protect the Resource Gathering Stations against attack by the alien scavs. Their station is in the New York City sector, and the audience gets to see the ugly future of the Big Apple whenever Jack flies over it. Harper also fixes the drones when they break down. The drones play a major part in the film as they seek to destroy the scavs and anything else that will keep Jack from learning the truth about what is really going on.
It should be noted that Jack has a hidden getaway, located in an obscure valley that I assume is along the Hudson River somewhat north of the destroyed city. He disappears to his secret home for hours at a time to think and to wonder about earth's past. It's a place he built by hand near a peaceful river and is surrounded by lush trees and green landscaping. He also keeps the books and paintings there he has found in the war-torn library of New York City…stuff that he enjoys reading and looking at, along with other discoveries he has made over the years.
In time, through a set of unexpected circumstances, Jack will seek to find out what the scavs truly are, and that will force him to make a decision about his life and the immediate future.
Last, to aid Jack's journey along, he has been having dreams of a strange, but beautiful lady. He doesn't know who she is, but he knows he's in love with her. Needless to say, this isn't something he tells Victoria, knowing she wouldn't care for him dreaming about other women. Plus, their minds were supposed to have been erased; yet, these memories keep appearing in Jack's mind for better or worse.
Now, let me just get the positive aspects of the movie out of the way so I can get to the things that bothered me about the film.
The special effects are awesome, including the Resource Stations, the module where and Jack & Victoria (his mate) live, the drones, the destroyed city of New York, and the aircraft that Jack flies and the motorcycle he rides when on land. The alien spacecraft at the end is also mind blowing in how real it looks, reminding me a little of the gigantic mother ship at the end of Independence Day.
I personally thought Tom Cruise gave a fantastic performance, especially since he carried the majority of the movie on his shoulders. I've always thought that Tom got a bum rap as an actor because of his good looks. The thing is Tom Cruise is truly an excellent actor and gives each movie he's in 200 percent of his effort and focus. In fact, The Last Samurai is on my Top Ten List of best movies ever to watch.
The problem with Oblivion is the story itself. I don't know if there will be a Director's Cut on DVD in several months in which another hour is added with many of the questions being answered. That's the real issue—the ton of questions you have after the movie is over. When you think about it, you start to realize that the whole premise is somewhat reminiscent of other films and that little in the way of answers are presented to the viewing audience.
Okay, I just deleted thirteen questions which give away a lot of the movie. Writing them out was an hour wasted. Why spoil the whole movie for you? In fact, you might enjoy the film. It's not a bad movie. It's simply not a great film, which is what the trailer of it seemed to promise.
Is Oblivion worth seeing? Yes.
Tom Cruise does such a great job in his role as Jack Harper that I would recommend seeing it at with a discounted price (the matinee showing) or on DVD when it comes out.
I have to tell you that I knew what was going to happen within the first thirty minutes of the movie. I figured out who the lady in Jack Harper's dream was and who the scavs really are. Similar things took place in both versions of Total Recall. With that in mind, there was very little in the way of surprises, which I think is a death sentence for a movie. The main reason Oblivion has done so good in its first two weeks of release is due to Tom Cruise and the misleading trailer that draws you into the film, making you want to see it.
Would I want to see the movie a second time? No.
Well, not unless a much longer version of it comes out on DVD in the near future…a version that answers many of the questions I and others had about the film.
That might actually happen.
Movie studios are notorious for changing elements within a film, hoping to please all the age groups out there. Unless a director has final cut approval in his contract, the studio can choose to cut a movie anyway they want, and no one can stop them. I therefore hope there will be a Director's Cut of Oblivion.
Hell, I'm also hoping for a Director's Cut of Prometheus.
Miracles do occasionally happen.

The Applied Technology Council (ATC) offers site-specific information that is used in our calculators to determine the wind velocity. For the best results, the address of the site may be used. To find your wind speed, follow the step-by-step guide below.
- Navigate to https://hazards.atcouncil.org/#/
- Enter your address, zip code, or city and state in the search bar and press the search button.
- On the left side of the screen, check that the "wind" tab is selected.
- Determine your wind speed based on your Risk Category. Wind speeds may differ depending on if ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, or ASCE 7-16 is being used. If you are unsure, please check with an Engineering Express Technician.
- Using the ASCE 7-10 definitions for Risk Categories I-IV:
- Use Risk Category I for "buildings and other structures that represent a low risk to human life in the event of failure." Such as fences or gates.
- Use Risk Category II for "all buildings and other structures except those listed in Risk Categories I, III, and IV." Such as canopies or pergolas. Most Engineering Express calculators will ask for Risk Category II wind speeds.
- To use Risk Category III, contact Engineering Express for a site-specific design. Use Risk Category III for "buildings and other structures, not included in Risk Category IV, with potential to cause a substantial economic impact and/or mass disruption of day-to-day civilian life in the event of failure; buildings and other structures not included in Risk Category IV (including, but not limited to, facilities that manufacture, process, handle, store, use, or dispose of such substances as hazardous fuels, hazardous chemicals, hazardous waste, or explosives) containing toxic or explosive substances where their quantity exceeds a threshold quantity established by the authority having jurisdiction and is sufficient to pose a threat to the public if released."
- To use Risk Category IV, contact Engineering Express for a site-specific design. Use Risk Category IV for "buildings and other structures designated as essential facilities; buildings and other structures, the failure of which could pose a substantial hazard to the community; buildings and other structures (including, but not limited to, facilities that manufacture process, handle, store, use, or dispose of such substances as hazardous fuels, hazardous chemicals, or hazardous waste) containing sufficient quantities of highly toxic substances where the quantity exceeds a threshold quantity established by the authority having jurisdiction to be dangerous to the public if released and is sufficient to pose a threat the public if released; or buildings and other structures required to maintain the functionality of other Risk Category IV structures."

Her mother mumbled something to the effect of, 'Thank God.' Annika knew God was long gone when the face of Jesus pushed against her tongue.

I'd like to begin this post by asking a question: What is your number one fear? For me, I can't say I have only one fear; but I can say that once I develop a fear, it is consistent.

P95 DW-N Medical PrinterMitsubishi
MITSUBISHI P 95 DW-N Medical Printer (monochrome)
The new compact gets to the point faster.
Compact design, extremely high print speed and enormous print quality - the digital printer P95DW-N, successor of the P93DW, has all the features of a top system printer and is therefore predestined for medical use.
The newly developed thermal head combined with an optimised heating process ensures razor-sharp prints with clear contours, and the printing speed is 50% faster than its predecessor. With a resolution of 1,280 x 5,760 pixels, extra-long format prints are possible on the new, high-gloss paper. The P95DW-N works sparingly: Due to a reduction of the white area between the images, the number of prints per paper roll could be increased by 12%.

Here's Your Guide To The Biggest Blockbusters Coming This Summer
Summer has always been blockbuster season, but for us Texans, summer movies aren't just awesome entertainment, they're a necessary escape from that vicious heat.
May has already seen some of the best and biggest block busters ever, with titles like "Avengers: Infinity War," "Deadpool 2," and "Solo: A Star Wars Story." Its going to be tough to top any of these but don't worry, there's still some epic flicks dropping within the next few months:
1.'Ocean's 8'
The classic heist spinoff hits theaters on June 8th. It notably features an all female cast including, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, with Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter.
Now this one's no action flick. 'Hereditary,' which hits theaters on June 8th is a chilling horror story of a familial death, a dysfunctional family and one creep little kid. People have already dubbed this the scariest movie of the year, so maybe leave the kids at home
3.'Incredibles 2'
This one you can take the little ones to. The sequel to the beloved Pixar superhero animated flick hits theaters on June 15th.
4.'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'
Chris Pratt + dinosaurs... enough said. You can get your T-Rex fix on June 22nd when the movie premieres.
5.'Sicario 2: Soldado'
The followup to the cartel thriller sees Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro retuning to put a stop those evil drug lords. It hits theaters on June 29
That's just a few of the epic movies coming this summer, there's also a new 'Mission Impossible' dropping July 27, oh, and Antman returns with his new side kick on July 6th.

Ukrainian start-up Pics.io is hoping to change your photography post-processing workflow with its new browser-based Raw editing and organization service. Using WebGL technology to harness the power of your computer's graphics card, Pics.io is able to offer Raw image editing and management for Canon, Nikon, Sony and Olympus Raw files right in your web browser.
Instead of storing your images on its own servers, Pics.io connects to your Google Drive account. Not only does this provide you with an extremely reliable cloud connection, but it also means that you won't lose your photos if you stop using the Pics.io service, or they ever shut down.
What makes this solution all the more interesting is Google's recent and dramatic price-drop for its Drive cloud storage. Drive users can get 15GB of cloud storage for free, which Pics.io claims is enough for roughly 3-5 years worth of family vacation photos (although we're skeptical about that – especially if you're shooting Raw files).
Paid Drive plans start at just $1.99/month for 100GB and $9.99/month for 1TB. Heavy users could even make use of the unlimited cloud storage offered by Google for subscribers to their Apps for Business service.
Once your photos are uploaded to Google Drive through the Pics.io interface you can use its review tools to apply star ratings and color labels, as well as organizing them into collections and editing metadata just as you might do with a program like Adobe Lightroom. After editing, your collections can be easily shared with friends and family who get quick access to original photos from any internet-connected device.
Pics.io will offer a free plan that limits the number of photos that can be edited per month, and a paid plan that removes all limits. Further pricing details are not yet available but for now the service is in public beta and you can sign up for free on the website to give it a try.

This pattern has been buzzing around bee for a couple months. One member made a beautiful blue one and another had a bali pack and wants to make a red one. I've been listening to them talk, so I don't need a pattern, and when I stumbled up on the jelly roll and fat quarter pack on clearance in JoAnn's last week, I couldn't help myself.
I ended up not being very impressed with the fabrics, which are mostly batik prints, not actual batiks. And, some of them are really thin and one has a dying error…or I guess a print error.
Anyway, I cut all my fabrics late one night and only made one cutting mistake, and it didn't include a finger, so that was a relief.
I want to use the leftover scraps to make partial blocks that I can then add to one end or the other of a row to throw off the regimentation that you see above' that stacked brick effect. I think it will be a cute quilt and it's not taking any time and it will work as a teen boy Linus quilt. I am abysmally behind in my commitment regarding Linus this year. I just hate it when I miss a commitment to myself. Those are the worst kind.
This morning, I was quilting on the star quilt and I realized that I can't take that to bee tomorrow and try to do it there. It takes a ton of things, all coming together in the right way for me to be able to free motion quilt. It's light and height and spread and mood and distraction and sometimes, the ability to swear out loud without being embarrassed. It's the chair and the machine and the mood and I can't transport that in the car.
So, I'll pick a machine and piece. I'm thinking about taking the hand crank. That would be fun. A nice novelty and this is such simple piecing I should be able to do it one handed.
Guess I better try that before I decide.
Be well. Have a great Friday. I need to do so many things this weekend that I can't even think about it without feeling tired and overwhelmed. I am way too young to feel this darn old.

Macron under heavy fire
EmmanuelEmmanuel Macron's series of troubles is not ending. The latest uproar is about him paying tribute to marshal Philippe Pétain for his role in France's victory in WWI. Pétain later became the leader of the antisemitic French Vichy regime, legitimising France's collaboration with Nazi Germany. This included collaborating in the deportation of Jews. Pétain spent the end of his life in prison. Only the far right demands his rehabilitation.
This latest controversy was triggered by a WWI remembrance ceremony next Saturday in honour of eight marshals, including Pétain. The army had been demanding it for a long time. With the Elysee palace well aware of how divisive the issue is, reports Le Journal du Dimanche, the decision was made to hold the ceremony, but without Macron. Macron defended his position with comments to the effect that he does not forgive anything but does not erase anything from France's history either, and that the press is creating gratuitous controversies. This is when the trouble started, and big time. Macron's comments drew fierce criticism from politicians and Jewish leaders, and the reactions went viral on social media. François Mitterrand had provoked similar outrage when it came out that he had been placing flowers on Petain's tomb on the anniversary of the armistice for years, a habit Jacques Chirac was quick to end when he came to power.
Is there a political motive behind this? It is hard to gauge, but either way it could have political consequences. Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National (RN) is currently the only party mentioning Pétain in any positive way. Macron's statement could be seen as an opening to RN voters. It has certainly angered supporters on the left. On social media there are some who proclaim they will never vote for him again. Jean-Luc Mélenchon predictably tweeted that this time Macron went too far.
There is mounting outrage against Macron. Angry drivers as well as pensioners have confronted him during his public appearances on his tour of the WWI battlefields. Thousands of drivers are expected to block roads across the country on November 17, a grassroots protest organised via social media. Expect the grievances to continue gaining momentum. Macron may have won the battles with the trade unions over labour law reforms, but the outcome of this new angry wave is far less predictable.

Congratulations Single Players, you've made it to the second month of the year! Yes, February is here and with our resolutions well and truly failed now we look towards the coming 29 days (hello leap year!) for some fantastic games to enjoy. We have a problem however, February looks so good that we couldn't decide on three games so we've squeezed in two more! We've got five incredibly different games to whet your appetite with, and we start off in Wyoming! (Stick with us on this one…)
(Release: February 9 on Playstation 4 and PC)
The debut game from developers Campo Santo, this first-person adventure game is set in the aftermath of the Yellowstone Fires which caused untold havoc across Yellowstone National Park for several months of 1988. Taking place the year after, Firewatch is played through the eyes of Henry, who shares a Bioshock-style relationship through a walkie-talkie with his supervisor Delilah. Delilah assists Henry is unravelling the mysterious events that surround the tower in Shoshone National Forest in which he is assigned.
Henry and Delilah's relationship is determined by the player's choices through dialogue, including ignoring her altogether. This aspect most likely derives from the Campo Santo founders' previous roles as they both worked together on Telltale's The Walking Dead. The art design for Firewatch is almost like witnessing a moving painting, with gameplay akin to the point-and-click games that have made their resurgence in the past few years. You can see over 15 minutes of gameplay right here.
(Release: February 5 on PC)
Releasing exclusively for PC once again (which will cause absolutely no arguments whatsoever from fans…), X-COM 2 is actually the ninth full release in the X-COM series and is the direct sequel to X-COM: Enemy Unknown, released in 2012 for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Considered somewhat of a pioneer for turn-based tactical strategy games, X-COM is well-known for its difficulty as well as its fight against an overwhelming alien race – and X-COM 2 looks to be no different.
Taking place 20 years after its predecessor, in X-COM 2, humanity has fallen to the aliens and X-COM has become a distant memory to most. The player takes control of the Commander of the Avenger, a mobile base for the remnants of X-COM, with the objective to take their home planet back as opposed to defending it as in the previous installment. Firaxis Games have backed their decision to develop XCOM 2 purely for PC by promising procedural maps, meaning that the basis for each area will be specifically designed, but the details within will be random therefore constantly surprising and testing even the most experienced of players. You can check out some action from the Avenger here.
Far Cry: Primal
(Release: February 23 on Playstation 4 and Xbox One. March 1 for PC)
Announced in October 2015 to everyone's surprise – and after the initial leaks hours before – Ubisoft are going back in time for their next open-world adventure. Way back in time! This certainly is a Far Cry from their usual modern-day titles, with extremely different enemies to contend with along with equally varied weaponry. Sabre-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and many other beasts roam the fictional land of Oros, set 12,000 years before today, with the protagonist Takkar limited to weapons such as spears, axes, bows, and his bare fists to survive.
Takkar also has the intriguing ability to tame live animals, and must craft new weapons, hunt for food, and basically kill to survive. Eventually, Takkar will attempt a rise in power to become leader of his tribe with the help of his pet owl, who can be used in a similar to way the Assassins' Eagle Vision of Ubisoft's other big franchise. This huge change in direction was possibly enforced due to the similarities between Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 (in this writer's opinion anyway) and this massive change is an exciting revelation. Here's the latest trailer.
(Release: February 9 on Playstation 4,Xbox One and PC)
A unique puzzle-platformer from Coldwood Interactive, Unravel is a beautiful-looking game. Yarny is the main character, a small creature made completely from Yarn, who is incredibly cute as well as incredibly useful. Using his body to create lines and wires to solve puzzles and traverse the world, Unravel is unlike anything else you will play this year.
Certainly a game to pull at the heart-strings, Yarny is created from an old lady's ball of red yarn and is left to explore the world he awakens in. The further Yarny travels from his original ball, the more he loses of himself. The story is being kept under wraps for the most-part, but we are promised a tale about family – most likely that of the old woman. Set in a world inspired by the lush lands of Scandanavia, this is certainly a game I can get on board with and I am looking forward to more than most. Here's a trailer focusing on the environment.
Layers of Fear
(Release: February 16 on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC)
If Unravel is a game to give you the sweetest of dreams, Layers of Fear is an experience to give you the most horrifying of nightmares. A terrifying "walking simulator" through the home of an insane painter dedicated on finishing his masterpiece, each turn of the camera could present a new threat to your sleeping habits.
Already available for early access on Xbox One, Layers of Fear involves an enormous house with a different threat lurking in every room. Gameplay in essence is simple, with the true difficulty coming through actually managing to sit through the game as it messes with your head. A lot of people get a real kick out of psychological horror games and if you are one of them, then this is definitely one to put on your list of must-haves. Here's a trailer for the early access in case you don't believe me:
So these are our choices, what are yours? Or are you still making your way through January's games? Let us know in the comments below or if you prefer to use social media then we're available on there too with Facebook and Twitter (@Official_OnlySP).

Judges 15:1 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in. Judges 15:2 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: [is] not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Judges 15:3 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. Judges 15:4 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. Judges 15:5 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And when he had set the brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives.
Judges 15:6 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Judges 15:7 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. Judges 15:8 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Judges 15:9 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. Judges 15:10 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. Judges 15:11 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them. Judges 15:12 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. Judges 15:13 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And they spoke unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Judges 15:14 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} [And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. Judges 15:15 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. Judges 15:16 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. Judges 15:17 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.
Judges 15:18 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? Judges 15:19 {not in Tyndale; KJV:} But God cleaved a hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and there came water therefrom; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En-hakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day.

Badger's fave pack to carry in his water and food for a big day in the mountains.
This is the pack that our dog Badger carries with him when we go tramping. It has more than enough room for all he needs for the day plus can carry some of your gear as well.
It's an everyday pack with excellent performance, fit, and functionality. It provides dogs with the ability to efficiently carry a load, generating instant four-legged motivation to explore.
The integrated harness enhances fit, pack stability and overall performance. Radial cut saddlebags create a passive compression system that is form fitting and better load carrying. Combined with the lightweight materials and a streamlined design, the Approach Pack is comfortable and allows dogs to carry trail necessities. Great for day hikes and overnight adventures.
It's recommended that your dog carry no more than 25% of their body weight in their dog pack. If your dog is new to dog packs, start with a light load and work up to a heavier load as your dog gets accustomed to wearing the pack.
Weight (min): 360 grams
Customizable fit with five points of adjustment allow for full range of motion
Two leash attachment points: single-piece, anodized aluminum V-ring and webbing loop
Padded handle and non-slip girth straps offer good load dispersion for controlled and comfortable lifting

Good show. I remember when Playboy magazine readers voted you the world's best bassist in 1969. I Heard a bootleg of you playing at the BBC with the early Stones line up several days ago. Your playing was amazing, sensitive and zooming, walking and essential to that unique beat sound. Makes people want to drop their guitars and take up the bass guitar. I saw your old Framus at the old London Hard Rock cafe back in 1988. I wish i had taken a picture of it. My fave instrument of yours was that 69 Fender lake placid blue Mustang bass. Best period of playing? Probably 1969-70 STP US and Euro tour. Thank you!1↑
Congrats ! I love you and music. My favorit cuts are with John hammond. Rock on my freind !!!

Congrats Bill, how's the new R.Kings album called?3↑

Turkey aims to surpass $20B trade volume with China
Turkey to focus on projects in win-win perspective, says head of exporters' association
Turkey is working intensively to surpass its current trade volume with China -- $20 billion -- focusing on high value-added projects within a win-win framework, the head of the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TIM) said on Friday.
The Belt and Road Initiative was launched by China as is a project critical both in terms of the future of global trade and the region, said Ismail Gulle during a program on Turkey - China multidimensional relations.
He said all countries from Eurasia support China's project, so does Turkey.
"We have to ensure that Turkey's gastronomic skills, agricultural and food products as well as tourism are well known by our Chinese friends," he said.
Pointing to China's $2.1 trillion total imports and the scope of China's investments under the Belt and Road Initiative, Gulle underlined the project's potential not only for Turkey, but for the entire region.
For his part, Cui Wei, the Chinese Consul General in Istanbul, said despite the thousands of kilometers between the two countries, the cultural exchange has never been interrupted.
"In ancient times, the Silk Road has been the bridge of friendship between the two sides," he said, with Porcelain and silk, for instance, being traded from China to Turkey.
He added that Turkey, which is at the intersection point of Europe and Asia, combined advantageous aspects of eastern and western cultures and created a unique cultural environment.

Hi all--
My apologies for languishing a bit...there is so much spam registration requests they're filling up my inbox (making registration a bit of a chore). My apologies to those trying to register.
Same with photos--I'm still a bit in transition (with moving and all) and have yet to get my servers back where they need to be, so I beg (once again) everyone's patience.
Then finally there's been the '52 Willys I've acquired...which (along with work) has taken quite a bit of time...
Excuses eh?
Anyway, thanks as always for supporting SpriteSpot. At some point I will get more revisions up and running...have some ideas, just need some time!

Be Family
In Genesis God created a family (Adam, Eve) to populate the Earth. In Exodus he chose a family (Moses,Aaron,Miriam) to lead Israel out of Egypt. In Leviticus God chose a family (Levites) to stand before God on behalf of the people. In Numbers...well I think you get my point.
Family is important to God. It's so important that when he chooses to describe relationships in the New Testament church he uses words like, father, children, brother, and sister.
But do we know what it means to be family? Do we really live out the call of God to "Be Family" in the community where he has placed us?
The early church caught the vision Jesus painted for them. They met in homes, shared meals together, had all things in common, gathered daily, wept with one another, laughed with one another, and challenged one another. In other words they were...family.
Join us as we journey together to discover what it means for men to be family.

PDF-Tools 8.0
Old versionsSee all
PDF-Tools is a Windows program that gives you access to a wide variety of utilities which you can be used for viewing, creating, editing and converting PDF documents. This tool might prove to be of good use to people who work with PDF files often.
The main windows of the program display a list of built-in tools. Each of the integrated utilities comes with its own set of output settings. The best thing to do before using any of the built-in tools is to first configure its settings. Then, you can import your documents (PDFs or other types of documents for creating PDFs) and wait for the utility to get the job done.
You can use PDF-Tools to create PDFs from images or text files, convert PDFs to other formats, extract pages from PDF documents, and so much more. In my testing, the program offered me quality output files in no time.
The one thing missing from this Windows utility is a built-in help manual. A beginner PC user would definitely make use of an integrated guide. For example, it took me a while to figure out how to use the integrated PDF tools (configure the tool's settings and then double-click on its name to import your PDF for processing).
Still, this program is one of the best PDF tools I tested on my Windows PC. It's feature-rich, provides you with quality results, and works fast. So, you should definitely give it a shot if you're looking for a powerful program for working with PDF documents.
Review summary
- Gives you access to various tools for handling PDF files
- Supports batch processing
- Compatible with various file formats
- Brings you easy-to-configure output settings
- Could use a built-in help guide

I have downloaded and installed the Scite4AutoIt3 package, but it does not work with .au3 files. Is this due to my existing Scite global files? Is it possible to use the Scite4AutoIt3 version of Scite separately from my other Scite, which I have been using for other types of files? None of the AutoIt features is working, except that the icon has the "A" on it. Otherwise, it works exactly like my original Scite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lost my hair
I forgot to add that I got a wig this past wednesday from ACS and on thursday my hair started coming out in handfulls so I got it buzzed very short and have worn my wig. I received many nice compliments and some folks who do not know I have BC thought I had just gotten a haircut and new style. My boyfriend is very accepting of the hair loss.

External radiation
I finished my 33 radiation tx on march 12...last week. I have alot of discomfort from the burned skin. It is healing and gets a little better each day. I started walking my dogs daily and it feels good to get outside. I understand that I will continue the herceptin for a year (every 3 weeks). After my follow up with rad doc I will have some scans and tests done to give an idea of the status of the cancer. A good friend ask me if I would make the same choices again or would I choose differently. It has been an adventure and no I would do it all again. Thanks for all the support.

lymphedemia treatment
Other Care
in 2012 I was dx with BC. I have been cancer free since my mastectomy, chemo and radiation. Last November I developed cellulitis in the arm that had the lymph nodes removed. So a referral was made for treatment. Started this week--it involves massage to my lymphatic system and then my arm and hand is wrapped for several days and then the process is repeated for 2 or 3 months. I can say it has helped with the pain in my arm. Yet another chapter in my bc adventure.

Boss reacts to Portman Rd defeatManager Nigel Adkins had mixed emotions after our 2-0 away defeat to Ipswich; he was pleased with much of our play but disappointed to lose.
Reading were on top in the first half and were denied a clear penalty for a foul on Jobi McAnuff, but the second half belonged to Ipswich and the key moments went their way.
Adkins was philosophical when speaking to the media at full time, saying, "I thought overall it was a typical, good Championship game.
"We played well first half, great closing down by the players, put the ball in good areas and we showed good energy.
"We should have had a penalty and maybe that was a turning point in a type of game when the first goal was always going to be key. But the referee didn't give it so you get on with it. Jobi was positive all game, it was a silly challenge from their player. Jobi wanted to stay on his feet, like I say it was a foul, but we didn't get it and that's just how it goes.
"So the attitude of the players in the first half was tremendous. But credit to Ipswich, the second half was theirs, they had to come out and compete, and they got the edge in the game.
"For the first goal we were away on a counter attack but then they got forward from that, it was tight for offside but I've seen it again and I think he's just onside in fairness, and they scored what was a crucial goal.
"We came back at them again with a good attitude, we had things flashing across the face of the box, Jordan Obita and Jobi McAnuff were outstanding down the left.
"And Nick Blackman was a threat when he came on, he could have scored one or two, one was over the crossbar, but we kept going and there was a lot of positivity there.
"So as I say we created chances, the game was always going to be close one way or the other and it's gone to Ipswich."
So while the boss took a calm attitude to the result, don't mistake that as any change in his will to win.
He said, "We want to win. We had a good shape, the players are working hard, creating chances and defending well. There were fine lines in the game.
"We were good first half, we come away with nothing, but the attitude of the players was bang on, and for me that bodes well, and we look forward to Blackpool."

Going from Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur
Nowadays everybody seems to regard themselves as an entrepreneur. Many also believe that they have what it takes to give birth- to the next big idea. But only a few can reach that success and own it, as many aspiring entrepreneurs do not have a clue about how to take the journey.
Thanks to economic liberalism, the economic decisions are not made by collective institutions or simply by governments anymore, we are now living in a world where there is an open market where we can freely bring our ideas into action! But is this systematic encouragement enough for people to turn their steps towards creating a product or a service?
There is this common term called Wantrepreneur. It is used to described someone who thinks about being an entrepreneur or thinking about starting a business but actually never gets going with realising their ideas.
Many wantrepreneurs do not realise that entrepreneurship is a real and struggle-sum journey, and every person goes through this phase differently. Some move slowly, researching and realising their dreams at school- spending years getting a degree in business, and some get to business before finishing high school!
So what is this journey? How should we take our steps during this challenging path?
As an entrepreneur you need a great idea
First, you need to think about your work life. Do you want to be active and spontaneous or do you want to have a regulated routine in your style of work? Do you want to create a brand new product or just sell one?
Make sure to answer these questions and understand the Daily routines of your business that you are choosing. Because you wouldn't want to end up opening a bakery shop just because you love to bake and then realising that owning a bakery will mean not finding any time to bake.
"You just have to pay attention to what people need and what has not been done." says Russell Simmons, Def Jam founder. But don't overestimate the idea of creating something original. You can always work on something already popular.
Take a look at Steve Jobs for instance, he replaced our old cell phones into something stunning. Because he was able to understand what was missing in the old ones. You can always focus on something which is already successful and try to figure out why that business is a success.[Tweet "Going from Wantrepreneur to #Entrepreneur #startup @cloudnames"]
Stop Worrying
Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's famously said, "If you're not a risk taker, you should get the hell out of business." Losing the steady job, worrying about the capital, fear of failing might be tough.
But this journey is all about taking risks at the right time and at the right way and what you should always remember is that entrepreneurs don't let their failures stop them, while wantrepreneurs easily get discouraged.
For instance did you know that "Angry Birds" was the 52nd attempt of Ravio before it was launched? On its initial release, the game didn't even get the the sales rate that the studio expected to get. However later on, after Angry Birds was a featured app on the UK App Store in 2010, it dramatically reached to No.1 selling rate result and stayed there about 275 days!
Research and experience
"Chase the vision, not the money; the money will end up following you." – Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos
Find more than five startups and try to analyse their progress over time. This way, you will be able to predict the steps that you will take during the journey. You can even offer free help to a startup for a while. It will mean a free labour for the startup but in this way you will have a great chance to learn about this journey by someone else's progress, experience and mistakes. Or work for a company at least five years to be able to gain some experience on the tough business world before jump into one.
Check your competition online with a simple search on Google and Social media. You might be amazed with similar ideas that are out there! But remember; because others are offering similar products or services does not mean that your business model is a bad idea.
Many of the most successful startups are disrupting existing markets – look at Uber, Airbnb or even Google. These companies have all established a presence with massive competition from existing players. Looking at what your competitors are doing is sometimes the best way to reinvent your own products and services.

Take your idea to the next level
Guy Kawasaki, founder of AllTop once said, "Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard."
When it comes to taking an action, no matter how small a step forward it is, entrepreneurs bring things into action while wantrepreneurs are always looking for excuses when it gets hard to get going. So stop thinking about if you are ready or not, don't become paralysed by information, remember that you will always have the chance to learn by just taking an action.
Start by creating your dream team for your startup. Use social media for testing. You can use Facebook and Twitter or other social media platforms for research. For instance when Walmart was planning to sell a cake-pop maker in 2011, the WalmartLabs listened to the datas in social network chatter to predict the amount of the demand. Based on social media interaction datas from Facebook and Twitter, their team was able to anticipate heightened customer demand in cake-pop makers before launching them.
The team behind Cloudnames have been establishing more than 50 startups over the years and launched hundreds of new products. When we started out it was common to invest huge amounts of money to build a new product without really testing if there was a market for it.
Those days are long gone, and today entrepreneurs build minimum viable products and test them with real customers before investing in the production process. By engaging with customers very early in the process you can prove the value of your business idea with much lower investments and risk.[Tweet "An entrepreneur don't let their failures stop them @cloudnames"]

ANVIL's LIPS Is Still Waiting For 'A Real Break'
Guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow of Canadian metal legends ANVIL says that he believed from the beginning that the band's documentary, "Anvil! The Story Of Anvil", would have the kind of impact that it ended up having. "I knew immediately, because it wasn't some jackass with a video camera," he told A&P-Reacts in a new interview (see video below). "It was somebody [Sacha Gervasi] who was a screenwriter for Steven Spielberg doing a movie about me. Guess what. And I'm gonna bring it. 'Cause I knew if I'm gonna bring it, then I've got somebody who's gonna fucking pick that shit up and run with it and get some place with it. I knew it on the onset. I knew before the director did — I knew before he did. When he told me, 'I'm gonna make a movie about you,' I broke out crying. He goes, 'What are you crying about?' I go, 'Because I waited my whole life for this moment to happen, and now it's happening.' He goes, 'What's happening?' I go, 'I'm gonna get the recognition that I've been looking for my whole life. My ship just came in.' And I recognized it for what it was. And it turned out that that's exactly what it was. I haven't worked a regular job in 10 years, since the movie came out. It worked, as far as I'm concerned. What, I'm not as big as AC/DC? How are you ever gonna do that? You can't make up for fucking 30 years of lost time — you can't do it, no matter what you do."
He continued: "We had gotten a great start in three albums, and then got shot down in flames, man. Because we got signed to a Canadian label, and when a big-time American manager tried to sell the three albums that we recorded for our Canadian label to an American label, they didn't wanna pay for it. 'Give it to us for free.' Well, what do you think the Canadian label said? 'What are you, fucking nuts?' If you owned that label, after you've invested in the band, and then [another label tells you], 'Okay, we'll put out your records, but we're not gonna pay you for it.' Well, who in their right mind is gonna agree to that? So, they didn't agree to it. So, what do you think happened? Three albums, and the choo choo train stops going. Because the manager pulled us out of the record deal that we did have, and then we had nothing for four fucking years, between '83 and '87 — no records. And in that period of time, everybody and his brother came out with albums all over. All of a sudden, America got turned on to heavy metal. And what's ANVIL? We never got a break. I can keep talking about it."
Lips went on to say: "A break — a real break — is when you get a major distribution with major promotion and you get a real tour. What's a real tour? Playing with Ozzy [Osbourne], playing with METALLICA or playing with one of the big bands and going out on a real tour and playing in all the hockey arenas all across the country. That's how you really make it. And if you don't get that spot — like METALLICA got to open for Ozzy — you're never gonna make it. Same thing with MÖTLEY CRÜE; you never would have heard of MÖTLEY CRÜE if they hadn't gotten to tour with Ozzy. It's just the way it works, and that's the break. And here I am, 42 years into this business, I still haven't gotten that break. Even after the movie, I still didn't get that break. You'd think, 'Well, look at all the publicity that the band got,' but I never got the tour that you need to break the band, to make it a viable thing. The only way to get viable and get credibility is to be put in front of real audiences and real venues on a consistent basis. Until that happens, you're not getting your break. And that's how the music business has worked and has always worked. And that's the reality of it. So people having expectations of saying, 'Well, ANVIL, they got that movie. They should have made it.' Yeah, right. Without the break? Without getting the tour with METALLICA? Without getting the tour with GUNS N' ROSES or the tour with AC/DC? No, they're gonna give it to another band who's signed to a major label, and the major label is just whacking out dough. It's like I said: you need the promotion, the infrastructure, which is record companies. Now, having said that, record companies virtually don't exist because you can't sell records anymore. You can't sell CDs. Everybody's streaming. So, what do you get for streaming records? You get six million streams on your song and you get fifty cents. That's not gonna tour-support you; that's not gonna put you on a big-time tour. It's just not gonna work. So, most of what I'm talking about, it's wrong time."
He added: "I'm not talking about it being bitter; I'm talking about the realities of what it all is. And I've overcome all of it, just by the fact that I've been playing, like I said, for the last 10 years, doing it the way I wanna do it in the small venues. I'm [in] one of the biggest club bands in the world. I don't stop touring — ever! I'm always on the road. I'm making a living… And I'm happy with that. I always have been happy with that. That's fine with me. Who needs the living up to bullshit and being led around by the nose — you've gotta be this, that or the other in order to sell your product? Well, no. I'm gonna do it the way I wanna do it. I'm gonna make the product that I wanna make and I'm gonna do it my way and I don't have to answer to anybody but to myself. That's the best, man. That's doing it on your own terms. Nothing is better than that. Nothing is more gratifying than that."
"Anvil! The Story of Anvil" was named one of 2009's best documentaries by a slew of film critics associations across the continent, including critics in Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, and Las Vegas, as well as the International Documentary Association, the Online Film Critics Society, and the National Society of Film Critics. It also made the year-end Top 10 lists in publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, and Village Voice.
"Anvil! The Story of Anvil" was the directorial debut of screenwriter Sacha Gervasi ("The Terminal") and was produced by Rebecca Yeldham ("The Kite Runner" and "The Motorcycle Diaries"). The film follows Kudlow and Reiner and their band, ANVIL, which released one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's "Metal on Metal". The album influenced an entire musical generation of rock bands, including METALLICA, SLAYER, and ANTHRAX, who all went on to sell millions of records. ANVIL, on the other hand, took a different path — straight to obscurity. The film was both entertaining and touching as it followed their last-ditch quest for the fame and fortune that has been so elusive to them.

Published September 16, 2018, three new studies place in doubt safety of taking a daily aspirin for primary prevention. These studies were a part of the ASPREE trial, Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly trial. It was a large scale study on the effects of taking aspirin on a preventative basis in older persons 70 years of age or older (65 years of age or older for black or Hispanic participants in the United States) and free at baseline of cardiovascular disease, dementia, or physical disability. So rather healthy older persons. 9525 participants were randomly assigned to receive 100 mg of aspirin per day and 9589 to receive placebo. The study took place in both Australia and the United States of America. The results were published in three separate articles in the New England Journal of Medicine and their results are rather astounding.
One study was on the effect of aspirin on disability free survival in the healthy elderly. The purpose of this part of the trial was to evaluate whether taking a daily aspirin would result in a life free from dementia or persistent physical disability. Among the adverse events they were investigating deaths contributed 50% of the total, dementia contributed 30%, and persistent physical disability 20%. When all the events (not just the first event to occur) were taken into account, the rates of dementia were similar in the two groups (aspiring and placebo) and there was no evidence of a preventative effect of aspirin on the rate of persistent physical disability. It was their finding that the use of low-dose aspirin in persons 70 years of age or older who did not have cardiovascular disease did not prolong disability-free survival.
Another study was on the effect of aspirin on cardiovascular events and bleeding in the healthy elderly. Same trial, same participants just looking specifically at a different outcome. Individual rates of heart attack, stroke, fatal cardiovascular disease, and hospitalization for heart failure were similar between the placebo and aspirin group. The rate of major adverse cardiovascular events was 7.8 events per 1000 person-years in the aspirin group and 8.8 events per 1000 person-years in the placebo group. The rate of major bleeding was 8.6 events per 1000 person-years in the aspirin group, as compared with 6.2 events per 1000 person-years in the placebo group. Their conclusion is the use of low-dose aspirin resulted in a significantly higher risk of major bleeding and did not result in a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease than placebo.
The third part of the trial was on the effect of aspirin on all causes of death in the healthy elderly. Again same participants but looking at whether or not aspirin reduced the instance of any cause of death compared to placebo. A total of 1052 participants (5.5%) died during the trial. The risk of death from any cause was 12.7 events per 1000 person-years in the aspirin group and 11.1 events per 1000 person-years in the placebo group. Cancer was the major contributor to the higher mortality in the aspirin group occurring in 3.1% of the participants in the aspirin group and in 2.3% of those in the placebo group. In their conclusions the authors state; "among healthy adults who did not have an indication for aspirin use and were predominantly 70 years of age or older at enrollment, all-cause mortality was apparently higher among those who received daily low-dose aspirin than among those who received placebo."
It is a common occurrence for doctors to recommend older patients take aspirin as a primary preventative medication. This ASPREE trial was developed to examine how well taking aspirin in this way would benefit patients. What it found that there is little benefit to healthy older people and in fact there might be more risks in taking a daily preventative medication. I want to be clear that this study has everything to do with taking an aspirin for prevention when you are healthy. If you are taking a daily aspirin for its affect as a blood thinner these results might not apply to you. This study has similar findings as two others published earlier this year, the ARRIVE and ASCEND trials. Both found increased risks due to cardiovascular events.
My take, if you are healthy think very carefully about taking a daily aspirin as a primary prevention medication.
