The Digital Production Studio these days finally is able to go portable. All of my previous production workstations had been desktop computers. I am now doing production on a MacBook Pro, and I love the flexibility of the new component approach.
I first started doing digital video producton with a Mac Quadra 840av, with a 8 MB RAID hard disk array and a Radius VideoVision video system. Then, I worked with various PowerPC desktops, the G3, G4 and G5. The Mac laptop G3 and G4 computers never seemed to have the horsepower to be a serious video production suite.
Then, the MacBook Pro and MacBook came along, and I wanted to see what was possible. The first generation MacBooks introduced the Intel Core Duo chip. The second generation of the MacBooks offered the Intel Core Duo 2, reputed to be 39% faster than the previous CPU, and other new options available.
That is when I decided the portable technology was ready to take the place in my studio of the desktop computer. I got the 15" MacBook Pro, with 2 GB RAM and 120 GB hard disk. I figured I could add other components to build my video production studio.
One of the specifications for digital video is to use 7200 rpm hard drives. The Apple laptops come with only 5400 rpm drives. You can special order other drives, with different hard disk speeds for your laptop. There is a Seagate 100 GB 2.5" SATA internal hard drive that has a 7200 rpm speed. The largest 2.5" hard drive is 200 GB, but only spins at 4200 rpm.
I figured that I could always add a larger capacity and faster hard disk later, as technology improved. In the meantime, I figured I could use my Firewire 400/USB 2.0 enclosures, and use various capacity Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm drives for production. I have a Seagate 300 GB and a Seagate 500 GB installed in low profile aluminum Mobile Disk Firewire 400/USB 2.0 enclosures. This allowed me to migrate some of my older ATA 100 drives from my PowerPC production environment to my new world.
I waited for the second-generation MacBook Pro, partly because the first generation did not have a Firewire 800 port on the 15" model. Only the 17" MacBook Pro had the Firewire 800 port. I tried buying a refurbished 17" first-generation MacBook Pro, because it had both the Firewire 800 and Firewire 400 ports. But, I ended up returning it right away to the Apple online store, because the aluminum casing was so fragile, that it arrived with the case slightly bent. It seemed too large and unwieldy, so I resolved to buy the next generation 15" MacBook Pro.
The reason that a video production suite needs both the Firewire 800 and Firewire 400 ports, is that you need to have your digital video deck or camera plugged into a Firewire port, and your Firewire capture drive plugged into the other Firewire port. The new family of MacBook Pros now had the basic minimum number of Firewires ports needed.
Video Studio Configuration
In my video production suite, MacBook Pro boots off of a Maxtor 1.5 TB drive. The Maxtor III 1.5 TB drive system is actually two 750 GB hard drives RAIDed together in a nice compact brick with two Firewire 800 ports, a Firewire 400 port, and a USB 2.0 port. The drive array fits nicely under the MacBook Pro, which is lifted up to eye level using a Griffin laptop stand. The MacBook Pro DVI connector is hooked up to a DVIator interface that supports up to 23" Apple Cinema Display screens. The DVIator interface is needed to supply power and a USB connector to the Apple Cinema Display. A non-Apple monitor does not need this, as it has it's own power supply. A non-Apple display, like a 19" or larger Sharp or Sony LCD only requires a DVI to VGA adapter connector hooked up to the MacBook Pro right-side graphics port.
The entry level MacBook Pro offers only 128 MB VRAM, while the upgraded models offer 256 MB VRAM. The 128 MB VRAM system will support up to a 23" Apple Cinema Display. The 256 MB VRAM models will support the larger higher resolution displays. Either MacBook Pro VRAM version, or even the MacBook, with only shared memory, will support Final Cut Pro and video production. Any of the MacBooks or MacBook Pros can drive an LCD projector or eternal monitor.
More about Firewire standards. Firewire 400 started us off with digital video. Before Firewire, we had other ways to digiitize the media and control the video decks, but it was harder and more expensive to get the quality and workability that you want in a production environment. Digital video components made it much easier than the previous analog video component systems. Firewire 400 (1394a) was great at 400 mbps, and then Firewire 800 (1394b) came along, at 800 mbps.
Firewire 800 uses 9-pin connectors. Firewire 400 uses 6-pin connectors and 4-pin connectors. There are 9-pin to 6-pin cables that let you connect a Firewire 400 drive to a Firewire 800 port. A Firewire 6-pin connector plugs into the right side of a MacBook Pro and the the 4-pin end plugs into a DVCAM edit deck or miniDV camera. A Firewire 9-pin connector can be acquired that plugs into the Firewire 800 port of a MacBook Pro and the 4-pin end plugs into a DVCAM edit deck or miniDV camera. Camera to camera (or edit deck) cloning of digital tapes requires a 4-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable.
Word of caution. There are some new digital video cameras that are popping up that are hard disk recorder based, and use a USB connector. Cameras like the JVC hard disk recorder will not work with Final Cut Pro and a MacBook Pro. USB was not supported as a video digitizing and controlling connector with applications like Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express or iMovie. You will see a message that it is not compatible with the system.
USB 2.0 now supports up to 480 mbps, so it is used for video digitization by some applications like El Gato's eyeTV.
One of the upgrades that I appreciate is the second-generation MacBook Pros have dual layer DVD recording. That means you can make a 4 hour DVD, instead of only a 2 hour DVD, like the first Mac Intel units. Using a video capture option, eyeTV is a USB TV channel receiver that makes your MacBook into a Tivo-like recorder. Then, you can record the programs on your internal DVD burner.
One of the deciding factors to jump into an Intel Mac was the ability to use Parallels as a Virtual Machine and install Windows XP and Windows applications. This allows me to run MacOS and run Parallels with Windows XP, and turn on a feature called Coherence. This allows me to have both Mac programs and PC programs open on the same computer.

I came home from school in a state one day. I was livid at a petty wrong that had been done to me. Triumphant on how I had dealt with it in the way only a headstrong teenager can. The moment my mother got home, I started venting. How I vented! I cried, I yelled, I cried some more. She patiently heard me through, let me sob on her shoulders.
And when I was calm, and able to deal with it, she told me exactly what mistakes she thought I had made.
I strive to be a mother like that.
"If you can rely on someone who is going to love you no matter what you do, I think that is pretty empowering."

This little mini muffin didn't nap all weekend! No nap Saturday, Sunday OR Monday! We had guests on Monday so I figured she wouldn't nap. Want to know what happens to this mini muffin when she doesn't nap? She is in bed…at 6pm…sleeping by 6:15! YEP! And then she sleeps for 13+ hours!
Today I wanted to right this nap mess. Mama needs that mid-day break! So, this morning we were at the playground up the street at 9:30am. We both walked there and back. You bet mini muffin took a nap today!
If you are keeping score that means Mama won! 🙂

When I write a story the aim is to entertain but like many perceptions it is the perceiver that responds to what has been written, not the writer.
David Mitchell - author
David Mitchell is an English novelist. He has written seven novels, two of which, number9dream and Cloud Atlas, were shortlisted for the Booker Prize. He also has a child that has a degree of autism.
Naoki Higashida
You've never read a book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within.
Mitchell tells us that he has totally changed the way he thinks of his son as a result of reading this book.
In fact when we write we express our thoughts in the way we create our stories which may well resonate with our readers in ways we don't expect.
On the other hand you may produce a story that is intended to have such an effect but you still have no control over how it will be received.
Steele has to travel back to Japan to justify recent behaviours that may have revealed his connection with the Gurentai. He is given a task to complete that finds him on the ill-fated Flight MH370 in Kuala Lumpur. Hours later he awakens in a cell in a place and country of which he has no knowledge.
Being the resourceful man he is, Steele manages to escape and travels north meeting up with his fiancée Naomi Kobayashi in Astana the capital of Kazakhstan.
Steele is naturally curious about the fate of the other 238 passengers from the plane which drives him onward to investigate further. He discovers that there are links between Russian organised crime and a Muslim group which stirs fears in his mind regarding the fate of MH370. This causes him to go to the Venice of the North, St Petersburg, where he finds the leader of the Russian mafia and a link with the Muslim pilots of the plane.
All does not go well however, and Steele and Kobayashi are captured by their mafia enemy and incarcerated in MH370 on the way to the target that Steele suspected all along - in London.
Can Steele extricate himself from this seemingly hopeless situation?
Has Steele convinced the Gurentai that he is trustworthy enough to deserve their support?
Will Steele manage to deflect the missile in which he is incarcerated from killing thousands in London?
This story is a speculative journey based upon the data and misinformation surrounding the loss of Malaysian Flight 370 in March 2014.
When I wrote this story my underlying aim was to shake the readers perception of our establishment in the West.
God Bless

July 30 deadline may be mirage
ELYRIA, Ohio - Reconciliation between House and Senate versions of the Medicare reform legislation may not make the unofficial presidential deadline of July 30, according to remarks made by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) at fundraisers in late June.
"His words were," said Dave Williams, director of government relations at Invacare, "'This is the largest substantial change in the Medicare program in over 35 years, and we're not going to rush so we can have some symbolic signing, knowing that there are mistakes in it.'"
AAHomecare, in a "President's Message e-mailed July 9th, reported that the Medicare reform debate may stretch into October.
President Bush, for whom passage of a prescription drug benefit package would give added firepower to a campaign for re-election, wants to sign a bill into law on July 30, the anniversary of the founding of Medicare.
Although the Senate bill enjoyed broad bipartisan support and passed in the full chamber 70-26, House Democrats believed the House package tilted too far toward the private sector while House Republicans believed it didn't tilt far enough.
"This is a fragile agreement," Sen. Max Baucus, (D-Mont.), who worked with Grassley on the bill, told Knight Ridder Newspapers. "If it alters very much one way or the other, we could lose it."
If reconciliation is not possible, competitive bidding and a CPI-freeze would likely be tabled until the next Congress.
Since more Senate Democrats than Republicans are up for re-election next year, a stymied bill would help Democratic re-election prospects. Members of the House, said Williams, want to "jam this through because they are all up for re-election." HME

Great service very helpful
Herb A. en
Above and beyond the service I expected. The best!!!
Gina U. en
While I'm not over the moon with the service at the location that's not what I'm upset by. The truck was disgusting, mud caked ramp and there were live roaches in the truck itself. I now have to have pest control come and spray my house because the roaches from the truck have made it into my new home.

Dont know of anything. This location gave me ease of rental and great service
Carol J. en
I arrived to pick up the rented 10' truck at the appointed time of 10:00 AM No one was there. At 10:15 I got a call from Uhaul that the rental person was the doctor and would not be available until 1:00 PM. There was no other 10' truck in the area, so we want home and returned at 1:00 PM. No one was there again. I finally called the rental person number and was told that he was 12 miles away and that there was no key to the truck that I had scheduled. He arrived at 1:45 and took forever to get me the 15' truck on his lot. This meant that we were now 4 hours past our start time to drive to Atlanta and pick up the furniture. This put us in rush hour traffic which set us back an additional hour. I only wanted and needed a 10' truck which had been quoted to me for $130.55. I signed to pay $145.04 with the rental person telling me that he would adjust my bill to the original price. However, the bill I received via email is for $149.52. The whole experience was very frustrating and exhausting. The rental person did seem nice, but not too concerned that we had been so inconvenienced. I really believe that my bill should be adjusted to the $130.55 or even further discounted for the terrible inconvenience.

Make sure there is a person there when the guest arrives. We told the owner we would be there between 11:30 & 12. We arrived right at 12 and there was no one in the office. UHaul corporate said they would move us to another location since we had been waiting for 25 mins. At 12:30 the owner arrived. Corporate said we would receive a discount and not only did we not receive the discount we were unknowingly charged for insurance when we specifically said we did not want the insurance when we called to say our arrive time. The staff was friendly but ignorant on how to work the computer system, needing 2 people to use it. Our reservation was also moved to another location by corporate after we had called to say the staff had arrived. Due to these delays we did not leave until 1:30pm setting us a day behind our moving schedule.

Thank you for your assistance.
I set all of this up with the fabulous WebAssist online tutorials. For setting up the test server I used: Web development tutorial: Set up a test server on Mac OS
It tells me:
Step 2: Test the PHP Installation
You should test your PHP Installation to make sure everything is set up for you to load PHP pages on your local computer.
Navigate back to the http://localhost/MAMP/page you were at before.
Click the phpInfo option from the top navigation.
This page displays the login credentials for your MySQL database. The username (SuperUser), 'root' is created for you automatically and is the username you can use for accessing your MySQL database or creating a database connection.
If you see a PHP page similar to this, you have completed setting up your PHP/MySQL testing server.
So in the phpMyAdmin tad, I see User 'root'@'localhost'
And, in the Start tab I see:
Host: localhost
Port: 3306
User: root
Password: root
Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
I'm under the impression that I've attached the php file. It showed me the spinning gear after I clicked Choose but I'm not seeing an acknowledgement that it's attached. If you think you need it and it's not here I'll get it to you by another method.
Many many thanks.

One of life's great mysteries to the more mathematically inclined is the tale of how plain Peter Mandelson was in the late 1990's unable to afford to buy a £500,000 house without the aid of a loan from Geoffrey Robinson, but ten years later, after several years as an MP on £65,000, a few of which were enhanced by a ministerial salary of £80,000 and a couple of years as an EU Commissioner on around £170k, but all taxed at a marginal rate of 40%, the by then ennobled Lord Mandelson could afford to splash his cash on a £2 million house. This being prior to any book deals.
The mystery has never been solved, but we have seen how Mandelson has been attracted to foreign sources of dodgy cash just as flies will settle on a dungheap, and the Corfu villa of the Rothschilds has been a more congenial and private place to meet the scum of the world. I am sure you all remember how Mr Deripaska told the BBC that his aluminium interests had benefited from his "friendship" with Mr Mandelson, but that friendship was formed not through meetings at Mr Mandelson's offices at the EU (where he was responsible for the EU aluminium tariffs), but on Mr Deripaska's yacht, the Lady K in the Caribbean.
But the latest revelation about Mr Mandelson, who despite BBC attempts to boost his reputation, is not widely regarded as an effective trade negotiator, is his role in Libya. What have we learnt since the latest uprisings in the Middle East? Well first of all, in addition to its role as a funder of terrorism (IRA, Lockerbie), we discovered that the Libyan government has had very strong links with the UK Labour Party and the left wing bodies such as the LSE for many years. We have had to listen to Ed Miliband telling David Cameron that he was slow to act in the Libyan crisis, but then we discover that Saif Gaddafi was invited to give the Ralph Miliband lecture at the LSE a few years ago.
But in the middle of this all we hear that the arch slimeball has also had his spot in the Libyan limelight. Learning that when they take a break from brutalising their own people the Gaddafi family have been spraying cash like confetti on British academic institutions, it transpires that Mandelson had agreed that every British university should be twinned with a Libyan institution. Of course, the BBC fails to ask under what authority he did this, not being responsible for education, and doubtless no British university was asked whether they wanted to do this but doubtless Mr Mandelson reckoned the fees for setting up such arrangements would help him to augment his real estate portfolio, and coming from the murderous thugs in Libya, conveniently private.

Great post, I enjoyed reading it. Alas in the 1935 musical "Naughty Marietta" which features "Ah Sweet Mystery Of Life" (see Youtube) Dick who is supposed to be enforcing the law lets all the pirates escape for purely personal reasons.

David J. Pecker
David J. Pecker became Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Media, Inc. (AMI) in May 1999, when along with Evercore Partners, he purchased the company. Today, AMI is the leading publisher of celebrity and health & fitness magazines including Star, National Enquirer, Shape and Men's Fitness. The company's holdings also include Distribution Services Inc. (DSI), the leading supermarket in-store merchandiser.
Following 9/11 on October 2001, American Media became the first U.S. company to be targeted by bio-terrorists using anthrax, and one of its employees the first casualty of this new kind of war. Despite being evacuated from its corporate headquarters, Mr. Pecker moved quickly to relocate the company's operations and all AMI titles were published on schedule.
In November of 2002, Mr. Pecker and Evercore acquired Weider Publications Inc. the leading publisher of health & fitness magazines, including category leader Shape and Men's Fitness. It was the latest acquisition in a 20-year career that has seen Mr. Pecker complete more than $4 Billion in magazine transactions. In April 2003, Mr. Pecker participated in the $1.5 billion recapitalization of AMI led by Evercore and Thomas H. Lee Partners.
In April 2004, Mr. Pecker re-launched Star as a 100-page glossy, the first time a tabloid was ever successfully converted to magazine format.
From 2004 to the present, Mr. Pecker oversaw unprecedented growth in AMI's advertising, with paging for its titles up 19% over the five year period (including a 58% increase for Star) while industry totals declined 8.7% for the same period. During this time, Shape became the #1 title in the Women's Active Lifestyle Category, Men's Fitness was successfully re-launched, and digital platforms were developed for all the company's brands. By adding Playboy to AMI's stable of strong male focused titles including Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness and Flex, the company now reaches an astounding number of men.
In February 2009, AMI revitalized its capital structure through a transaction with its bondholders, including Angelo, Gordon & Company and Avenue Capital Management LLC, that reduced its debt by $227 million in exchange for 95% ownership of the company. Mr. Pecker was asked to remain in his roles as Chairman, President and CEO and agreed.
Before acquiring American Media, Inc. Mr. Pecker was President and Chief Executive Officer of Hachette Filipacchi Magazines. He was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 1992, after being named President of Hachette Magazines, Inc. in September 1991. Prior to September 1990, Mr. Pecker had served as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer for Hachette Magazines, Inc. formerly Diamandis Communications Inc.
Mr. Pecker holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Pace University and attended Pace University Graduate School of Business. In May of 1998, the university awarded him an Honorary Doctorate of Commercial Science. Mr. Pecker has been elected as a Trustee of the Pace University Board of Trustees.

Advances in Project Management
By Prof Darren Dalcher
Director, National Centre for Project Management
University of Hertfordshire
United Kingdom
Is it time to revisit our definitions of projects and programmes?
Definitions and assumptions play a key part in delimiting both knowledge and practice. Language is closely entwined with human life: Words and constructions and the way a language is used can shape what is seen and understood, defining what is acceptable and even possible.
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less."
— Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass (1871)
The Humpty Dumpty theory of semantics holds sway in most societies and many organisations and cultures. Words, symbols and concepts are endowed with additional meaning or associations, often derived from highly contextual, regional or vernacular sources, which can make a word mean precisely what the user wants it to mean.
Debates around the real nature of linguistics often focus around the ability to learn and adapt as opposed to inborn notions. Yet, given that meanings within linguistic communities change over time, there appears to be a need to re-visit linguistic associations and consider their impacts on language, understanding, and more widely on the implications for the wider practice.
American philosopher and logician, Willard Van Orman Quine invoked the metaphor of the 'myth of the museum', where exhibits are meanings and words are labels (1960). His main objection is to the assumption that semantics is determinate in the mind. Instead, Quine advocates for a naturalistic view of language, which implies discovery of the use of native words that comes from observation of behaviour. By this logic, only an empirically based account can address the indeterminacy and contextuality of words and their use, and uncover Humpty Dumpty's intended interpretation.
Cognitive psychologist, Steve Pinker concedes that semantics is about the relation of words to thoughts (2007). But he is quick to point out that it is also about: the relation of words to other human concerns; the relation of words to reality; the relation of words to a community; the relation of words to emotions; and, the relation of words to social relations. Semantics thus defines how thoughts are anchored to things and situations in the world, what shared understanding may be possible, how a word comes to evoke (and even define) an idea, how these ideas are transferred, and ultimately hint at what is allowed and what is considered possible. Above all, semantics can open a window into Humpty Dumpty's wider world and its impact on ours…

The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that the City of Salt Lake is jumping onto the anti-rental bandwagon:
Rentals: All units will now pay fees
By Cathy McKitrick
The Salt Lake Tribune
Article Last Updated: 08/24/2007 01:05:44 AM MDT
SOUTH SALT LAKE - Landlords of single-family homes and duplexes now will be expected to obtain business licenses through the city.
In January, the City Council passed an ordinance to require the new licenses and associated fees for rentals with three units or more. Wednesday night, council members extended the law to apply to one- and two-unit rentals as well.
The program also requires that landlords evict tenants who engage in criminal activity, said City Attorney David Carlson.
In this older urban area directly south of Salt Lake City, 62 percent of its 23,000 residents rent rather than own. A study identified an estimated 1,156 units that fall in this category - at $24 each, those units would net the city $27,744 in revenue.
However, the new law is aimed more at reducing crime than filling the city's coffers.
"We're not doing this to get money," said Council Chairman Casey Fitts. "We're doing it to clean up a problem."
Carlson expects enforcement to be largely complaint-driven.
"We don't expect 100 percent compliance," said Councilman John Weaver. "This is an added tool for our staff to make headway on something citizens have deemed a priority. We can assess its effectiveness in the future."
At least one council member, Mike Rutter, is a landlord. He said he plans to comply.
"I applaud what's being done - even though it will cost me a little more money. It's important," Rutter said.

Sherlyn vs. El Dasa: así fue el primer tropiezo en la pista de Mira Quién Baila All Stars | MQB
Sherlyn Chopra is an Indian model and actress. She was born to a Muslim mother and a doctor Christian father. She attended Stanley Girls High School and Saint Ann's College for Women in Secunderabad. During college she entered and won Miss Andhra, a local beauty pageant. Chopra's early acting career consisted of roles in minor Bollywood films.

In the 20th Century Christianity was effectively outlawed by the Communist states of Russia - then the USSR - and China. In Russia certain "approved" churches continued to operate under strict supervision of the Government. In China, Mao forced the majority of churches to disband." The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5
Disbanding conventional churches in China led to the fastest growth of Christianity in a single country during the 20th Century. Some left churches and joined the communists. But a few, a Remnant, followed a more dangerous and noble calling: spread the Gospel in a hostile country.
2000 years earlier, the disciples and later Paul faced that same problem. The Roman Empire persecuted them for over 200 years until Constantine declared Christianity to be the "official" religion of the Empire. Martyrs were made. Saints were venerated. The Remnant grew and overthrew the evil seeking to oppress it.
The light shone through the darkness of the Roman gods. Christians were referred to as Atheists by the Romans because they did not accept the Roman pantheon.
The Light of Christianity shone through the darkness of Communism in China and churches continue to grow. In Russia the churches are growing fast. Communism, the great darkness of the twentieth century, is all but defeated.
But now Christianity faces a new darkness.
We are often urged from the pulpits of public media to be tolerant of other religions. That's not what any of the men who took Christ's message to the world in a way that changed things ever did. It's compromise.
Luke-warm Christianity. Ready for Christ the Judge of Revelation to vomit out of His mouth.
In the Middle-East there is a growing darkness. The very region our Lord chose to be born into and live His Earthly life is threatened by the darkness of religious extremism from ISIS. Long established Christian communities have been displaced and murdered while the Western countries best equipped to mount a military response sit back and say "how sad".
When oil was at stake in Iraq and Kurdistan they were only too quick to get involved under any pretense they could find. All it is now is a group of Third-World people being displaced and murdered thousands of miles from the seats of Government who could make a difference on the ground.
This is in danger of becoming a political essay, which is not where I'm headed. Back to the point...
I have a dear friend I've known for (yikes) 20 years. She and her family live in Erbil. Her husband is Kurdish. Following the news reports makes this conflict very real to me. I have a personal interest in it.
They are a Christian family.
ISIS has not yet turned it's attention to their area of Kurdistan in a major way, but they will. Yet in the middle of the conflict there is yet hope. There are reports coming out of ISIS controlled towns of beheadings for being Christian.
People are laying down their lives for Jesus in this environment. Persecution of the most in-your-face kind is being conducted against the Remnant left in the occupied territories of Iraq and Syria.
Persecution in the West looks very different. Satan will distract us with modern "issues", red-herrings designed for a single purpose: to prevent us seeing the tragedy unfolding in Iraq. Homosexuality on the doorstep is more engrossing than wholesale slaughter half-way round the world. It consumes the Christian media and takes our focus away from the rise of the murderous campaign.
The US Election campaign is more likely to focus on domestic issues than persecution of real people half a world away. There is little coverage of the veterans returning in body-bags.
My health prevents me from going to fight with an army of men - they don't let diabetics fight. I'm also 43 years old, positively ancient for a soldier of Man.
But I'm not a soldier of Man. I'm a Warrior of Christ.
So are you.
We need to do Spiritually what the West refuses to do militarily: it's time for War.
The Remnant of Christians in ISIS territory needs prayer support. Just like they did in Nazi occupied Europe. Just like they did in the Roman Empire. Just like they did in Communist China and Russia.
A Remnant always remains, a light in a dark place that cannot be extinguished. I highly recommend the two volumes of "Jesus Freaks" compiled with the Voice of the Martyrs for accounts of Christians over the last 2000 years who gave their freedom and their lives for the sake of the Gospel. Why do we shy away from the subject? Why are we afraid to be vocal about Christians being persecuted?
It's because we have become silenced by society. Christian men are supposed to be moral nice-guys who have an abundance of cheeks to turn.
Rise Up! " And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." [Matthew 11:12 NKJV]
The force we can exert from a distance is to stand united in Spirit with those in these places, to go to Spiritual War with them and on their behalf. We fail to at our peril. These are our Brothers and Sisters. Surely we would want them to do the same for us if circumstances were reversed?
"Like a mighty army moves the Church of God, Brothers we are treading where the Saints have trod. We are not divided, all one body we, one in hope and doctrine, one in charity." The words of a 19th Century Hymn I learned as a child. The Church is an army.
Another verse reads "At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory! Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise; brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise."
Pray for the Remnant. A call to Arms.
Let our Praise and Prayers shake Hell's foundations.
To Arms! To Arms!

United States District Court, E.D. Kentucky, Southern Division
October 20, 2017
SHELBY DON SENTERS, Plaintiff,v.NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
C. Reeves United States District Judge
matter is pending for consideration of the cross-motions for
summary judgment filed by Plaintiff Shelby Don Senters and
Defendant Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social
Security. [Record Nos. 9');">9, 11] For the reasons discussed
below, the Court will grant the Commissioner9');">9;s motion and
deny the relief sought by the plaintiff.
filed an application for a period of disability and DIB under
Title II of the Social Security Act on March 19');">9, 2013. He
alleged a disability onset date of February 27, 2012.
[See Administrative Transcript ("Tr."),
187-88.] The Social Security Administration
("SSA") denied his application initially and upon
reconsideration. [Tr. 119');">9-22, 124-26] Thereafter, an
administrative hearing was held before ALJ Jonathan Sprague
who subsequently determined that benefits should not be
awarded. [Tr. 20-39');">9] Senters then sought review by the
Appeals Council, which was denied. [Tr. 1-6]. Senters has
exhausted his administrative remedies and his case is ripe
for review under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
was sixty-seven years old at the time of the administrative
hearing and sixty-three years old when his disability
allegedly began. [Tr. 46] He has a high school education and
past relevant work in the coal mining industry as a utility
man and hoist engineer. [Tr. 47] He stopped working in
February 2012 after being laid off when his employer shut
down the mine where he was working.[1] [Tr. 47, 72]
testified that he suffers from seizures and hip pain and
sometimes experiences shortness of breath due to black lung.
[Tr. 51-54, 61] He testified during the administrative
hearing that has not had any seizures since being seen by a
doctor. [Tr. 51] His seizures seem to be controlled with
medication and he believed the last seizure occurred during
2009');">9. [Tr. 51-52]
hip pain has bothered him for a couple of years, but he has
not visited a doctor for the condition because, in his words,
he does not want anybody "messing with it." [Tr.
52-54] He stated that the pain is aggravated if he does too
much lifting, sits the wrong way, or walks too much. [Tr.
52-55] However, he stated that he is able to go grocery
shopping, mow the lawn with a self-propelled walking mower
(although he is stiff and tired afterward). He also helps out
at his church on a volunteer basis (around four to five hours
a day). [Tr. 57-61] Senters does not take any medication to
manage the hip pain other than over the counter medications
like Tylenol. [Tr. 53] He also testified that he sometimes
experiences shortness of breath when he walks due to
conditions associated with black lung disease. [Tr. 61]
was treated for seizures by Alam Khan, M.D., and other
doctors at the Neurology Clinic of London. [Tr. 689');">9-720,
9');">985-1002] He was seen approximately every six months and,
after 2009');">9, examination notes generally indicate normal
results. [Tr. 689');">9-720, 9');">985-1002] Senters was oriented in all
spheres and had a normal range of motion in his extremities.
[See, e.g., Tr. 69');">90-9');">92] He did not appear to have
issues with joint swelling, numbness, sleep disturbance, or
depression. [See, e.g., Tr. 69');">93] Overall, his
physical examination was within normal limits. [See,
e.g., Tr. 69');">98]
Khan9');">9;s treatment notes indicate that Senters had a
seizure on March 17, 2009');">9, and then another on July 13, 2009');">9,
when he was not taking his medications. [Tr. 69');">90, 69');">95]
However, there is no record of any seizure occurring after
that date. Treatment notes from February 28, 2012, state
"no seizures in 3.5 years now, " and notes from a
follow up visit on September 4, 2012, state "no
seizures in 4 years now." [Tr. 707, 709');">9] Later records
from the Neurology Clinic of London also reveal no seizures
after 2009');">9. Treatment notes from September 29');">9, 2014, state
"unsure when last seizure was greater than 3 years
since seizure." [Tr. 9');">99');">94] Apparently interpreting this
to mean that Senters9');">9; last seizure was three years prior
to that visit, records from 2015 state that the last seizure
was "4 years ago" and "4 ½ years
ago." [Tr. 9');">988, 9');">99');">91]
to the above records, Dr. Khan submitted a Residual
Functional Capacity ("RFC") form indicating that
Senters9');">9; last three seizures were in 2009');">9, November 2013,
and January 2014. [Tr. 9');">949');">9] He indicated that Senters would
sometimes need to take unscheduled breaks during an eight
hour working day, when he has seizures, and expressed an
opinion that Senters was incapable of even low stress jobs
because "stress can bring on a seizure." [Tr.
examiner Mary Allen Genthner, M.S., performed a psychometric
battery test which indicated that Senters has below average
intelligence but no functional impairment. [T. 9');">904-09');">9]
According to Genthner, Senters can retain and follow simple
instructions, perform simple repetitive tasks without special
supervision, and recognize normal hazards and take
appropriate precautions, with mild to moderate limitations.
[Tr. 9');">908-09');">9] State agency medical consultants Michelle Butler
Psy.D., and H. Thompson Prout, Ph.D., similarly stated that
Senters can understand and remember routine simple to
detailed tasks, sustain attention and effort on tasks that
require minimal judgment for extended periods of two-hour
segments, and relate adequately in object-focused settings.
[Tr. 86-89');">9, 106-08]
Westerfield, M.D., examined Senters and concluded that he
suffers from simple coal workers9');">9; pneumoconiosis. [Tr.
9');">958-9');">973] However, Senters has no pulmonary impairment and no
respiratory disability in Dr. Westerfield9');">9;s opinion. [Tr.
9');">958] Instead, he has normal pulmonary function, and maintains
the breathing capacity to return to his previous coal mine
employment, or could enjoy other work with equal energy
requirements. [Tr. 9');">958]
examiner David Winkle, M.D., examined Senters on September 9');">9,
2013. He noted that Senters had a history of two seizures,
which occurred in 2009');">9, and that he complained of pain in his
hip and knee, which bothers him when he squats or crawls.
[Tr. 9');">920] Dr. Winkle observed Senters moving around the
examination room without using any assistive device and with
no apparent gait disturbance. [Tr. 9');">922] Senters was able to
get up and down from the exam table and in and out of his
chair without difficulty or assistance. [Tr. 9');">922] Dr. Winkle
noted that, due to his back problems, Senters may be impaired
with such things as heavy lifting and bending and stooping,
although he should be able to lift and handle fifty pounds
occasionally and twenty-five pounds frequently. [Tr. 9');">922] He
also expressed an opinion that, although prolonged walking
may aggravate Senters9');">9; lower extremities, he
"should be able to walk and stand at least four hours

Category: Automation and High-Throughput Technologies
Dengue is a mosquito borne infectious disease that has spread rapidly across tropical and sub-tropical regions risking approximately 2.5 billion lives as per World Health Organization(WHO) especially in resource challenged environment. Currently, the specific treatment for dengue is limited and vaccines are in the initial stages of implementation. Hence, early detection would help decrease disease prognosis and mortality rate. The current state-of-art lab techniques take several hours to provide results and require skilled laboratory personnel although accurate and sensitive. Further, these diagnostic tools are expensive and find little scope for application in resource challenged environment. To overcome the existing limitations, there is a need to develop a rapid, affordable and sensitive point of care diagnostic device capable of detecting dengue in its early stages in regions with limited resources.
Amongst existing biosensing techniques, affinity based electrochemical biosensors are promising as they are quick, sensitive and cost effective. In this work, we have developed a novel, low-cost and rapid electrochemical bio sensing platform for early stage NS1 dengue detection. Since non-structural NS1 dengue protein is expressed during the acute phase of infection, it is used as an effective biomarker. To achieve an accurate sensor response a capture probe highly specific to NS1 dengue protein is used. This electrochemical biosensor measures changes in charge transfer resistance and capacitance associated with binding of target antigen to the antibody functionalized electrode surface. We have leveraged the advantages associated with the use of Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofibers towards developing a sensitive biosensor for early stage NS1 dengue detection in serum using a single drop of sample volume. This low-cost biosensor provides an accurate and rapid response and therefore serves as an ideal point-of-care (POC) diagnostic device in a resource challenged environment for early dengue detection.

Balladeer's Blog remains the only site on the web that despises the Democrats and the Republicans equally. Remember how I would always ridicule the notion that Obama was a "Muslim Sleeper Agent?" Well, this whole nonsense with the make-believe Russian Conspiracy and the equally disproven "Obstruction of Justice" fantasy is just as deserving of ridicule.
The American Media has gone full nutter. Even Trump-hater Chris Matthews told an obviously disappointed Rachel Maddow on the air that Comey's testimony caused "the Democrats' Russia Narrative" to collapse. If anything, his testimony raised more questions about Comey's own malfeasance when handling the investigations of Hillary Clinton and President Trump. And the fool even admitted to being behind leaks.

Our take on the Sennheiser MD421-II by Crutchfield's Ken Nail
Rugged build for professional applications
Sennheiser knows a thing or two about capturing sounds — they've been building professional-grade microphones for over 65 years. Their MD 421 II dynamic microphone carries on the legacy of the original MD 421, for decades one of their most popular microphones. This classic microphone features a large diaphragm that'll handle high sound pressure levels, so go ahead and stick it on the toms or in front of the Marshall cabinet — it'll take it, no problem.
Versatile, too
The MD 421 II boasts a cardioid polar pattern for excellent directionality and feedback reduction. The five-position bass roll-off switch makes this supremely versatile microphone at home with many other applications, like broadcast announcers or vocal groups.

Recipe Thursday-Lamb Bowl
Exploring with ground lamb we came up with this delicious and satisfying Greek inspired lamb bowl! You can always choose to add cucumbers and feta to make it more of a Greek dish.
Yield 4 Servings
- 1 cup uncooked wild rice (991592, 6/36OZ, Uncle Ben's)
- 2 cups water
- 1 pound ground lamb (335016, 4/2.5#)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (992059, 4/3LTR)
- 1 teaspoon oregano (CQO074, 4/5#, Assagio Classico)
- 1/2 teaspoon dill (CQD040, QT)
- Kosher salt (CQS030, 12/3#, Morton's) and pepper (CQP083, 4/5#) to taste
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings (00691, 50#)
- 1/3 cup distilled vinegar (991956, 4/1GAL, Oasis)
- 2 avocados, sliced (01159, 12CT)
- 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives (990103, 10#)
- fresh dill for garnish (00300, 4OZ)
Place the sliced onions in a small bowl, cover with the vinegar and set aside to quick pickle while you prepare the rest of the meal.
Add rice and water to a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, stir, then cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer until rice absorbs all the liquid.
While rice cooks, place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add the lamb. Cook until browned, breaking into small pieces as it cooks with a spatula. Drain off the excess liquid/fat from the pan, return to the heat and add the oregano, dill, salt and pepper. Toss to combine, remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble by spooning rice into 4 servings bowls. Evenly distribute the lamb, avocado, kalamata olives and pickled onions (drained from vinegar) around the bowls. Garnish with fresh dill before serving.

I snatched this j.crew dress off the sale rack two years ago, and even though it was a little too big, I still decided to purchase it. I must admit it has gotten some use on the beach, but instead of looking like a cute summer dress, it was looking more like a potato sack on me.
I decided it was time for me to try out resizing and breathe new life into this dress.
How hard could it be?
Here's what I did:
I set out the dress inside out:
Then placed a form fitting dress on top:
Leaving some room for seam allowance, I traced and cut. After cutting, I also pulled the drawstring out of the back of the dress only (I left the two front strings in place):
The last step was to pin up the sides and sew:
..and that's it; a quick 15 minute fix!
