Psalm 104:34
2085 words
Please turn in the pew Bibles to Psalm 104, and follow along as I read v34. "My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD." The word of God. Thanks be to God.
My exercise program received a bit of a setback a week ago. I had been riding a bicycle, but over the last couple of months, I noticed increasing pain in my left leg. Finally, it got so bad that I went to the Doctor. He pinched me and prodded me and x-rayed me, and said it was a pinched nerve. He prescribed medicine and he told me to do several things, one was to stop riding the bicycle for the time being, and take up walking instead.
So on Monday, I had been reading Psalm 104, which is a great psalm celebrating God as creator and sustainer, and I decided to obey the doctor's orders and go for a walk. I was not doing anything religious. I was walking because of doctor's orders. But I was thinking about God as I found him in this psalm. I walked just a few steps around to the front yard of the Manse. There are two maple trees in the front yard. And I noticed that one maple still had some of last years dead leaves on it, and it looked like the sap was down and it was still in winter mode. But the other tree, just twenty feet away, was already budding. It was covered with new growth. As I looked at that budding maple, I seemed to see also some sort of divine power radiating through the growth of the tree. It did not feel strange or weird, but I felt that behind the growth there was a force or power. Then I realized that this sense of a power was not only in the tree, but all around me. I felt surrounded and enveloped by God.
Now I remember thinking a couple of things when this happened. One thing I thought was, you probably should never tell anybody about this. People would think you are some kind of nut. Old Tony sees God in trees, he is out of his tree. His elevator does not go all the way to the top. His biscuits aren't done. But I am too old to worry about what people think about me, so, as you can see, I told you any way. Then my common sense kicked in and said, You were thinking about the psalm and thinking about God, so it is not surprising that you see divine power in such a pretty thing a budding tree. That is true, but I still had a real sense of the presence of God.
That whole incident on Monday is what is called a walking meditation. You walk, not really thinking about walking at all. You contemplate God, and you are so lost in the contemplation that you actually realize the nearness of God.
Today, I would like to urge you to recover a lost art, the art of meditation. Now I realize that you mighty think that meditation is something from Yoga or Buddhism or some kind of New Age strangeness. When you meditate, you twist your legs into a lotus posture and chant some kind of mantra. That is what many people think about meditation.
But meditation has always been a practice of the church. In the Psalms, in the KJV, the word "meditation" is mentioned six times. The word refers to a contemplation of God that leads to an awareness of God. There are also many passages in Scripture that do not specifically mention the word "meditation" but describe the act of meditation (for example. 1 Samuel 3:1-18, 1 Kings 19:9-18, Matthew 14:13,). Meditation is a discipline that Scripture teaches, and that we need in our lives. We need some time every day to contemplate God.
Now you may be thinking, "I am too busy for this. I have things to do." To which I reply that It is people who think they are too busy, that need meditation most of all.
Some of the devil's best weapons are noise, hurry, and crowds. And we give the devil every opportunity because we seek every possible distraction. We say, "It is too quiet, let's turn on some music." Or, we say, "I'm bored, let's turn on TV," or "Let's read a book." We allow ourselves to be bombarded every day, every moment, with busyness.
The most recent development in busyness is talking on the cell phone while driving, or if not that, while I'm driving I'm listening to the radio or reading billboards, or drinking coffee. Every study on the subject tells us that most accidents are caused by people not paying attention to what they are doing. They don't keep their eyes on the road and their mind on driving. We have the same problem with our spiritual life: We don't have our eyes on scripture and our minds on God.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In the summer of 1858, he wrote a sermon on Psalm 104:34 (sermon 2690). Spurgeon says meditation is "a very profitable exercise" but most people are dominated by busyness. Let me quote: "You rise up in the morning, just in time to take your accustomed seat in the omnibus; you hasten to your counting-house for your letters, and there you continue all day long, for business when you are busy, or for gossip when business is dull, and at night you go home too tired and jaded for the wholesome recreation of your minds, Week by week, month by month, and year by year, it is still with you one everlasting grind, grind, grind."
Now we think that busyness is a modern disease, but here Spurgeon is saying back in 1858 that people think that they are too busy to mediate on God. The truth is people have always thought that. If you went back to ancient Sumeria in 3000 b.c., and asked them about God, they would say, "I'm too busy for that. I've got to stamp the latest wheat tallies on these cuneiform tablets." It is not the times that are the problem. It is the people. People in ancient times; people in modern times, never have time for God.
And then they wonder why there is so little of God in their lives. They complain about God's absence. And they blame others for their problem. "My momma and daddy didn't raise me right," they say. Or, "I must be going to the wrong church. These people in this church are not spiritual enough." But it is not the church, and it is not other people. If you don't have God in your life, it is nobody's fault but yours. Seek God, meditate on God, and you will find God.
What is Biblical Meditation? Biblical meditation is simply a practice that helps you to be aware of God. It requires no mantras, and no gymnastics, but it does require focus. Meditation is not daydreaming. Meditation is not letting your mind wander all out the map. Meditation is not thinking about how good Grandma's fried apple pies tasted, or about how much you hated the Oscars this week, or about what you should say at that next meeting. Meditation puts all those frivolous thoughts away and focuses on God and the things of God..
Meditation is a practical discipline that usually requires some effort. Most people find it beneficial to have a specific time and a specific place for meditation. Though, in the meditation I mentioned at the beginning of the sermon—which is called a walking meditation—I had neither. I was just walking.
There is no specific posture for meditation. Most people just find a comfortable place and relax and think about God.
Meditate on Creation
Part of meditation is contemplation of God's creation. That is what I was doing in the front yard of the manse. Thinking about God in nature. That is what the Psalmist is doing in Psalm 104. He speaks of God riding "on the wings of the wind" [3]. In verse 5, he says that God has "set the earth on its foundations." In v10, he says, "You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills." In v14, we read, "You cause the grass to grow for the cattle, and plants for people to use, to bring forth food from the earth." And in verse 16, "The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted." In verse 24, the Psalmist proclaims, "O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures." The Psalmist is overwhelmed by the presence of God he finds throughout the creation.
Meditate on Scripture
In my walking meditation, Scripture also played a large role. In fact, the meditation did not really begin when I walked outside the manse, the meditation began when I started reading Psalm 104. Most meditation includes scripture. We read a passage over and over until it is not just words in a book, but it enters into our life and becomes the word of the living God for us. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "The Word of Scripture should never stop sounding in your ears and working in you all day long, just like the words of someone you love. And just as you do not analyze the words of someone you love, but accept them as they are said to you, accept the Word of Scripture and ponder it in your heart, as Mary did. That is all. That is meditation." (found at http://www.schoolforteachers.org/resources/Session1MargaretLaneSummary2005.htm). Bonhoeffer says meditation is letting the word penetrate your mind, your heart, your whole life.
In Joshua 1:8, we read, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Wow that is a great promise. Today in our competitive capitalistic world, we have all sorts of seminars and training sessions on how to be successful and prosperous. I propose a Joshua 1:8 seminar for success. The secret of success is meditation on the Word.
Meditate on God
Going along with this meditation on scripture is centering our minds upon God. The reality is that most Christians never think about God at all. Even when they pray, they are not thinking about God. They are thinking about what they can get from God for themselves. Or, they are thinking about their troubles and concerns-which is still not thinking about God. In meditation, we learn to put away all the stuff and trivia that clutters up our minds and lives and to center ourselves on God. . In v34, the Psalmist says, "My meditation of him." The "him" he refers to is obviously God. The Psalmist says, I need to think about God; I need to contemplate God; I need to dwell in God. We need to dwell in God. We need to calm our minds, and rest our souls on the Lord.
The Attitude of Meditation
Let us conclude then with the Attitude of meditation. Again, verse 34, "My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD." A lot of people, when we talk about meditation, think, "Oh, no, this is something else that I have to do. This is another one of those duties that is going to be piled upon me, and the preacher is going to make me feel guilty for not doing it."
But notice this is not the way the Psalmist approaches meditation at all. He says this is sweet. This makes me happy. This is fun. The psalmist mediates on God's creation and God's word and God himself, because this is what he wants to do. If we are going to be successful in meditation, this is the attitude we must have. We should not come to meditation as a burden, or a duty, we should come rejoicing, thinking about how God loves us and how we love God. By all means, practice meditation, but do it with the right attitude, with happiness and love. Amen.

What do you tell people about me
when they ask you across the street?
What does your mind tells you
when you see my name ringing in your phone?
Do you sometimes mistake my love for foolishness?
Does my humility makes me your mugu?
Do you sometimes laugh at my ignorance
because you think you are a great Player?
Wait, you can split me into pieces and render me loveless in your eyes,
You can pretends frontly and kill me in your heart,
You can even play me as football
and smiles off with your friends,
But you can't break me,
Someday, you will read my stories and regret ever looking down on me.

UMSL is rolling out a new online business degree option; can you tell me a little bit about the program?
The College of Business Administration at UMSL offers a degree completion program in which you can earn your bachelor's in business administration (BSBA). The program is referred to as UMSL Business Online and offers a pathway to complete a degree in business while taking courses online or partially online. The program offers flexibility, accessibility, and a personalized education.
What are the benefits of this online option?
The UMSL Business Online program allows students to interact with their peers online to engage in stimulating discussions and get constructive feedback from their instructors.
The program fully utilizes mobile technology to allow learning anywhere on a 24/7 basis. UMSL Business Online focuses on offering flexibility. For those seeking to expedite their degree completion, business school advisors will create customized schedules to include some face-to-face, weekend, and shorter duration courses.
What makes this program different from other online programs in the St. Louis area?
We believe that the UMSL Business Online program benefits prospective students on many fronts. First, the College of Business is the only program in St. Louis accredited by AACSB for both business and accounting and is ranked in the top 3% of business schools in the U.S. by The Princeton Review. The college has revamped its curriculum by providing innovative programs in business intelligence, social media, digital marketing, and cyber-security.
Secondly, the UMSL Business Online Program has been ranked as the 8th best online program in St. Louis by U.S. News & World Report for online bachelor's programs. UMSL offers around 800 online courses.
Who is the ideal student for this program?
The UMSL Business Online degree completion program is designed for highly motivated individuals who have finished about half of their undergraduate coursework and want to complete their bachelor's degree in business administration. Degree completion for traditional-aged college students as well as adult learners is at the heart of what distinguishes UMSL business from other AACSB accredited colleges and universities in the St. Louis region. Our entire academic program is focused on helping our students finish their degrees without sacrificing their personal and professional responsibilities.

Once classes start, you will quickly appreciate the convenience of not having to be on campus during the week and taking courses around your work schedule. From a technical standpoint, students can encounter challenges when working with computers; UMSL business will provide useful information about campus resources such as tutors, online resources, and technical support.
Our faculty are well aware of the need to foster communication with students in an online environment. They are expected to maintain interaction with you and provide feedback through comments as well as timely and clear assessment. This format gives students time to think about responses, enabling a more thoughtful discussion than one that occurs in person.
We encourage our online students to explore the breadth of our business program. The college presents many events and activities that will enhance your educational experience. Our program encourages students to utilize our internship program and get valuable work experience from companies such as Boeing or Scottrade.
Will the classes be taught by the same award-winning faculty that teach on the campus?
Yes. The UMSL College of Business Administration is accredited by the AACSB, which guarantees the proper mix of research faculty and business professionals. The online degree completion program offers the same rigor as our on campus program. In fact, our faculty are required to complete the campus "Online in 9" training program for online instruction. This ensures that students will be exposed to the latest technology and course design.
Will students have the opportunity to take classes on campus even if they are enrolled in this program?
Yes, UMSL Business Online students have access to all the courses offered by the business school. This can be beneficial in at least two ways.

Susan B. Anthony taught school in New Rochelle and Canajoharie, New York, and discovered that male teachers were paid several times her salary. She devoted her first reform efforts to anti-slavery and to temperance, the campaign to curb alcohol. But when she rose to speak in a temperance convention, she was told, "The sisters were not invited here to speak!" Anthony promptly enlisted in the cause of women's rights.
In a lifelong partnership with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anthony's organizational skill and selfless dedication built the women's rights movement. The ballot, she became increasingly to believe, was the necessary foundation for all other advances. When she and Stanton published a newspaper, they called it The Revolution. Its motto was "Men their rights and nothing more; women their rights and nothing less." In order to press a test case of her belief that women, as citizens, could not be denied the ballot, Anthony voted. She was tried, convicted and fined for voting illegally.
For over thirty years she traveled the country almost ceaselessly working for women's rights. In 1906, her health failing, Anthony addressed her last women's suffrage convention. Although she sensed that the cause would not be won in her lifetime, she looked out across the assembled women and told them, "Failure is impossible."

Law Ministry objected HRD Ministry's plan to set up 20 world class institutes. Mr. Ranjit Kumar, Solicitor General of India, mentioned that HRD Ministry does not have the powers to grant world class status to the institutes. According to the draft regulations, the expert panel which was once constituted by University Grants Commission (UGC) can award world class status independent of the higher education regulator.
The HRD Ministry had sent a proposal to Law Ministry in the month of July 2016 for setting up 20 world class institutes and sought for an opinion on their feasibility under current laws. The proposal sent by HRD Ministry was named as UGC (Declaration of Educational Institutions as World Class Institutes). However, the proposal made by HRD Ministry failed Law Ministry's feasibility test.

Ranjit Kumar also mentioned that there is no provision for the Commission to delegate its powers to another body. He questioned the committee's unlimited power. He said that the empowered committee is not allowed to implement the regulations without keeping UGC in the loop.

The Law Ministry has sent its comments to HRD Ministry, but the further course of action is not known right now.
HRD Minster, Prakash Javadekar earlier mentioned that the ministry is planning to establish 20 world class institutes where ten institutes come under government sectors and ten institutes under private sector. However, the efforts of HRD Ministry foiled with the latest comments made by Law Ministry.

Hi, for Tubing Stock, the material we use is very rigid and have a different Minimum Bend Radius value which is much different than the standard which will be managed by "CURVE_MIN_BEND_RADIUS_COEFF" from APP View file.
While qualifying a stock part (add as Stock), is there a way where I can specify a different Minimum Bend Radius value for that specific stock ? Please clarify.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can create your own bend tables and import them when setting the corner type.
! 1st column == Stock diameter
! 2nd column == Bend Radius
TABLE unison bend table 10000psi inconel 625
0.2500 0.5964
0.3750 1.0735
0.5000 1.2988
0.5625 1.6047
0.6250 1.6409
0.7500 2.0118
1.0000 5.3259
There's another reply that talks about Bend Radius tables. That applies to a configuration where you'd like to create bends with a standard pre-configured radius but that the user could still create bends of a different radius without error.
But your question seems to imply that you really want a way for NX to check when a stock is bent too sharply. That is, with a radius smaller than specified minimum radius. For this case, you can add an attribute MIN_BEND_RADIUS to the stock table file, .ptb. This value can be different for each stock in the ptb file. This overrides the more general ratio check value that you referenced. I see this documented specifically for wiring stock, but it works with any stock. And for both spline paths, like a hose, and for linear paths, like for rigid bent tubing.
In NX12, we've added an adminstrative function Refresh Stock Definitions that can update existing stocks to new attributes and values from the ptb. Routing uses the definition of any currently loaded stock when making new stocks. This was done for portability of the files. But it does mean that prior to this function, you'll need to delete any existing stocks, close NX, then recreate the stocks, unfortunately.
Also in NX12, new Bend Radius tables functionality is available. Now you can configure a single excel format file with all stocks and all applicable bends in a single file. So users won't have to load the right bend table for each type, and multiple bends for each stock can be configured. So you might have a preferred larger bend radius, but an acceptable smaller bend if space requires.
Thanks Doug, adding MIN_BEND_RADIUS to .ptb is the exact solution I am looking for.
Thanks Joewhite for the reply, actually the tubes are very rigid and the Min bend radius is 20D (D=tube OD), and with the default check, even if we bend them more, we are not getting any error as the default check is set to a different value. As mentioned by Dough in his post, my requirement is to lock the minimum bend radius to a specific value and over and above that value NX should accept.
Hi -
regarding the minimum bend radius, I think this thread is very interesting....
To be able to defined each individual min bend radius in the PTB file, is exactly what I am also is looking for.
I have tried this now - but I seems like NX(11) does not raise a warning or error, if I "drag" some stock on a splinePath, which contains "smaller radius" than the one defined in the PTB file....please see screenShot...
Do I need to play with some other settings in nx routing config, to get it working as expected....?
forgot to place a screenShot of the defining PTB file (just a test PTB file for some stock in Mech)...
Sorry if this is obvious question, but did you restart NX.
hi - Thank's for your reply....
Yeahh - I first tried to reload library...that doesn't get it to work...
Then I fired up a brandNew session...but with same result..I can't get to work....
Does the Interactive Check report the violation?

This past week, we saw the Men's basketball team hung tough with 25th ranked Miami. It was Another game in which they were actually leading. They would follow up with 20 minutes of good basketball against North Carolina. It was the second 20 minutes that disappointed the coach as they were absolutely blown away. It was that performance that the coach called out this past week.
As the team comes down the stretch of the season, they are still looking for a win in conference play. The Panthers are also looking to give the fan base something positive to take away from this season.
At the beginning, It was easy to look at this team and how they were constructed and see it was going to be difficult. Then with the key injury to their best returning player and the leader of the team, it was literally a no win situation for the coaching staff and team. The youth has been forced to grow up quickly, and although they have lost every game we have seen growth. We have seen some really good players step forward, but to this point it has not been enough to capture a win.
Marcus Carr has been playing extremely well. Especially when you consider he has no one behind him that can spell him and give the Panthers quality minutes. Jonathan Milligan has been a disappointment for sure and a glaring indictment of the previous regime's recruiting woes. Coach Stallings does have relief on the way, but it will not come until next season.
At Center/forward, Terrill Brown has played strong as the season has gone on, and will prove to be good underneath as his body matures and he becomes more confident. Kham Davis has turned into a solid 6th man for the Panthers and strong from behind the arc. But not nearly as strong as Parker Stewart.
Pitt's Parker Stewart has not only become the biggest 3 point scoring threats on this team, but also one of the most feared in the ACC. The issue with him is the Panther's inability to get him free to shoot at times. That will come with time and with the additions coming next season. It is fair to expect him to take another giant leap forward.
Those are just a few of the really good players the coach has brought in and developed.
With that said, as the season draws closer to the end, the Panthers will have only a couple more real opportunities to get a win or two in conference play.
The Panthers play Clemson on the road Thursday, while they come home to host Louisville Sunday. Both will be difficult tests and probably not produce a win. That would be followed by a Home game with Boston College and a week later, another home game with Wake Forest. Sandwiched in between is a game with Florida State on the road. The Panthers will get a home game against top 5 ranked Virginia and finally will end the season on the road to against Notre Dame.
The ACC is a gauntlet, and if you don't have enough experience and talent, it is absolutely brutal. Although there is talent on this team, experienced talent there is not. And the depth of the talent gets tested night in and night out. I believe they will find a way to win a game down the stretch, what night or game that will be is anyone's guess.
What could also hinder that is the increased chatter about Coach Stallings not being here after this season. Although we have not heard that from the administration, it is clear they are not pleased with the results from the season. As much as it would be a mistake(in my opinion) to not give Kevin another year to develop his kids, the angst in the fanbase and lack of support is glaring enough to force a bad decision by AD Heather Lyke.
Pitt faces off against Clemson on Thursday and it will be aired on ESPN.com and on the radio with the game starting at 7pm. Pregame will start at 6:30pm. Our own Pitt Panthers Weekly, presented by The Arsenal Cider House will take place on Friday.

Boot Camp
So, here we are another however many ridiculous months since either of us posted. This blog is an outlet, so here's me letting out some things. About a month or so ago there was an ad on LivingSocial (if you don't use it, get started now!!) for Fairfield County Adventure Boot Camp. As I always do before purchasing a LivingSocial deal, I went to the website, researched it and decided it was a fantastic opportunity. One month of unlimited boot camp (normally almost $300) I got for about $80. It is a women-only exercise program that during spring and summer months, is outside, pilates on the beach, jogging on trails, etc. That part intrigued me, however, I joined when it is winter so we are inside. Anyhow, it was very enticing, for all ages, weights and physical fitness. No two days the same, all sorts of workouts, all you need to bring is 5lb weights, a workout mat and yourself. (I had everything on that list.) I signed up for the January session at the end of November because I thought starting in the new year would jump start me back into my workout routine (which I pretty much fell out of MONTHS ago.) This was also even before we moved our wedding date up 5 months! So thank goodness I signed up! The session is five days a week for one hour beginning at 5:45 a.m. Crazy? YES! I don't have to get up for work until 7 a.m. Now, I will be waking up at 5ish and going to do crazy things to my body. Yeah, yeah I know it's healthy and I am excited about the health benefits. But after day one this morning, I am soooo sore already. Usually I don't get sore until the day after working out, but today...SUPER sore. To the point where I arrived at work and had to walk up the stairs from the parking lot and could barely make it up the 12 steps. My legs were shaking during the workout and continued to feel like jelly for a while, until the soreness set in and my muscles became tight. Not sure how I am gonna make it tomorrow! Also, let me mention the fact that there is no shower facility at this boot camp, so I could either drive the 10 miles back north on 95 to get ready for work at home, or drive the 2 miles to my gym in the same town to shower. So I chose the latter. However, this morning I forgot a towel. Had to dry off with a sweatshirt I had in my gym bag (it was clean, don't worry.) Then I sat in the sauna to dry off completely. Ugh. Needless to say, towel will be the first thing I pack tonight. I'll keep you updated with how this whole thing goes. The goal is to get somewhat back into shape with these 5-day 5 a.m. workouts so that when my boot camp is finished, I will WANT to go to the gym after work (or maybe even before depending on how this whole early-morning thing goes.) So, here's to hoping my plan works! (and I don't become cripple in the mean time.)

Yay. Ur gonna be a beautiful bride, but that'd happen without the boot camp : )ReplyDelete

In vitro optical quality evaluation of diffractive IOLs using a chromatic kit
Poster Details
First Author: J.Esteve-Taboada SPAIN
Co Author(s): S. García-Lázaro T. Ferrer-Blasco M. Diez-Ajenjo A. Dominguez-Vicent
Abstract Details
To assess the in-vitro optical quality of diffractive intraocular lenses (IOLs) as a function of the wavelength and aperture.
University of Valencia, Spain.
The in-vitro optical quality of each lens was assessed with the PMTF (Lambda-X, Belgium), which is designed to measure the modulation transfer function (MTF) at 480 nm (blue light), 550 nm (green light), and 650 nm (red light). The optical quality of each lens was described in terms of MTF at the best lens foci, and through focus MTF at 3.0 and 4.5 mm apertures. This latter metric was measured from +0.50 to –4.00 D, where 0.0 D corresponds to the best distance-vision focus.
All in all, the optical quality of each lens varied with the aperture and wavelength. Due to the IOL design, the MTF corresponding to distance-vision focus improved when the aperture was set at 4.5 mm, meanwhile the near-vision focus one worsened. On the other hand, the through focus showed two main peaks corresponding to distance- and near-vision foci, which height peaks varied with the aperture and its position did with the wavelength.
The outcomes of this study report that the optical quality varies with the aperture and wavelength. As a results, not only should the optical quality be assed with the aperture, but also with different wavelengths because this might give a deeper insight of the IOL's performance.

I now have a regualar thumb! I got my cast off on Tuesday, and now have a splint. I'm far from normal though, I have very limited movement, and it hurts to pick up a lot of stuff. But I'm still knitting, and that's the important thing.
On the weekend I took my cousin to Romni's to get her yarn for a project. She picked out pink and green and blue varigated yarn. I think that she's only going to work on it when she's at my house, which is cool. She's practically my little sister, so she's over a lot. Her family is also going through some interessting (and very complicated) changes, all of which she is in the middle of, so hopefully the knitting can really help.

iTunes to MP3 Converter - convert Protected iTunes music to mp3
Music distributed through Apple's iTunes store is protected in M4P format with FairPlay (Apple's unique DRM system), and comes with certain limitations. You can't just copy a FairPlay iTunes protected song- when you download the song you also download a license that lets you play it on up to 5 computers at the same time, and an unlimited number of iPods (and only iPods) attached to those 5 authorized computers.
What are the implications? Well, when you download a song from Apple you can't use any device other than an iPod to play it. Own a non-Apple digital player like Sansa Fuze, Android Phone, Zune, PSP, iRiver, Blackberry, etc? You're out of luck unless you want to burn it to CD and re-rip it (dropping the quality somewhat) or resort to a 3rd party iTunes Music Converter. that means you can't stream protected iTunes songs from your computer to your stereo or TV unless you use a specific Apple device as Apple doesn't license FairPlay. (FairPlay not only protects the content, but also ties you to Apple-only-devices. It protects both the content and Apple's business model.) or convert iTunes to MP3 songs.
You can burn iTunes music to CD in an unprotected MP3 format to save iTunes songs as MP3, but any particular playlist can only be burned total 7 times. so, to ensure high quality and fast conversion speed, a third party software is a must, here what we need is an iTunes to MP3 Converter - Aimesoft Protected Music Converter, it can easily convert drm protected iTunes songs to MP3 WMA AAC etc common music format while preserves the audio quaility in batch conversion mode quickly!
Free Download Protected Music Converter
Instruction to convert iTunes to MP3 songs step by step:
Launch Aimersoft Music Converter, click "Add" and select the iTunes Music from your hard drive you want to convert to the software.
Step 2. Click the format button on the items and select MP3 (*.mp3) as the output format.
Step 3. Click "Start" and then the iTunes to MP3 Converter will be started and completed automatically in a few minutes. then you can export itunes music to other MP3/MP4 player, share itunes songs, etc without Apple DRM Restrction.

Long, long day but I got a lot done. I woke up early and Mary had breakfast waiting for me, all typical dishes. Then she introduced me to her neighbor and showed me where to catch the bus to downtown San Jose. Bus fare is really cheap but I don't know if I'll ever get them figured out. And the traffic is crazy: half the roads don't seem to have lines painted on, and when the roads do have lines, the bus appeared to be driving down the middle. Hardly any stop lights, even in the busiest areas. And forget crosswalks. In fact, there don't appear to be any road rules at all. But once we got to central San Jose it was easy to walk around. There's a plaza area in the middle with no cars and tons of stores. Libreria Universal is a big department type store with electronics and office stuff so I found some stuff I needed for class. Then we went down the street to a jeweler/ souvenir store so Mary could get a watch resized and I found some cute handmade presents. Almost all of one street was shoe stores-zapaterias. We went to the Mercado Central, which is a lot like Kansas City's City Market, but all under one roof and I only recognized about half the produce. All kinds of crafts, spices, butchers, vendors, bakeries, arranged every which way, it was like walking through a maze. Mary got some spices and some jocotes for me to try since I'd never had them. Hard to describe these, they have the skin and texture of mangos but a different flavor and you eat them with the skin on:
I worked on getting class stuff set up but still need to figure out a scanner. I spent all afternoon working, and lost track of time until Mary called me down around 6 to have some sweet water, which is hot water with sugarcane- tastes like molasses, which I love. And her husband Carlos was home so Mary made me some homemade tortillas and we talked while he ate dinner. My Spanish really needs work, but Carlos and Thais work with tourists a lot and their English is really good. Carlos said I could go with him if I want when he's taking groups on trips which is awesome. He and Thais go all over the country and seem to have friends everywhere. I do really want to see Arenal, the volcano; there are lots of things to do around there.
After that, Carlos took me to the corner store to get a SIM card for my phone. The store is only a block or so south of the house, very close. There's a lot within walking distance. It gets dark earlier here, around 5:30, but we walked around the block so I could see the park. The card we got was too big for the SIM tray in my phone but it's the only type they had. Carlos trimmed down the plastic around the metal part though and we got it to fit though. So I now have Movistar, which is the big phone carrier down here, along with Kolbi. And I managed to navigate their website all by myself to add minutes, even though it's entirely in Spanish. Yay me!
Then I came back and finished a couple assignments for my Web Design Applications and Industry class. I'm going to have to relearn a bunch of stuff, I think I've completely forgotten how to use Illustrator. Tomorrow I'm going to do some more work and then go to the farmer's market with Thais and maybe explore some more. Buenos noches!

I recently have been studying the 200M mixer and I am confused about one of the outputs being "aux level". I have been all over Shure's website hoping to get a clarification of what is meant by "aux level" output but I am not getting the information I need. I understand what "mic level" output is and I understand what "line level" output is on other Shure mixers, but what is an "aux level" output on the 200M? How is it measured?
Aux is short for Auxiliary. An Aux level output is typically: unbalanced; a nominal level of -10dBV (0.1 volt); designed to feed an input with an impedance of 10,000 ohms or greater. As an example, an Aux output might feed a tape recorder input.
An Aux Level input typically accepts a signal from a tape recorder output, CD player output, VCR audio output, etc.

The return of premium benefit, if any, will be paid:

(b) upon lapse of the policy;
(c) upon receipt of proof of the insured's death; or
(d) on the first renewal date after the insured's 67th birthday.
If the insured terminates this rider and the policy stays in force, no return of premium benefit will be paid. We may require the surrender of the policy as a condition to the payment of its return of premium benefit.
Any premium waived under the waiver of premium provision of the policy will be considered a paid premium when determining the total premiums paid for the policy and also as a benefit paid when determining the total benefits paid under the policy.
Upon payment of the return of premium benefit, the rider will terminate as of the date to which the return of premium benefit is computed.

I played a little "Chopped" tonight based on a few ingredients I wanted to use up. Primarily, I wanted to turn leftover burgers into something better. So I pulled out an eggplant, portobello shrooms, cheese and crushed tomatoes…and napoleons quickly became my vehicle! If you were to join us for this dinner, you wouldn't even know this sauce was made with leftover burgers, it's that good! 🙂
The following serves 2 (compliments of This Girl's Gotta Eat):
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1-inch slices
- 2 large portobello mushroom caps, stem removed
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Fontinella cheese, sliced
- 3/4 cup diced onion, either red or yellow will work
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 leftover burgers, finely chopped
- Half a large 28 oz can, or a 15 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 3 Tbsp reduced-fat, low-sodium beef broth
- 3 leaves fresh basil
- Kosher salt
- Parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush eggplant slices and mushroom caps with a little olive oil on both sides and season lightly with salt. Grill with the lid open, a few minutes on each side until nice grill marks show and the veggies soften. Remove eggplant and shrooms from the grill to a baking sheet, place sliced cheese on top, however much you like, and set aside. The cheese will begin to melt since the veggies are hot, but you'll want to finish them off in the oven. Right before you place in the oven, sprinkle a little grated parmesan on top of the other cheese first.
Preheat oven to 400.
Meanwhile, add 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil to a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until softened and just beginning to brown, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, another minute. Add minced leftover burgers and mix everything together. Next, add crushed tomatoes, mix well, and bring to a low boil. Add the beef broth and basil, reduce heat to low. Simmer sauce, stirring often, 10-15 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
I served this meal with a side of roasted broccoli. Cut a head of broccoli into florets and toss with a little olive oil, kosher salt and garlic powder to taste. Roast on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or so, until softened and beginning to brown, but still bright green color. Be sure to toss half-way through.
During the last few minutes of the broccoli roasting, add the eggplant and shrooms to reheat. Roast just a few minutes until the cheese fully melts.
To serve, place a little of the sauce on your plates. Place a large piece of eggplant on top, and add a tad more sauce. Next add a portobello cap and a little more sauce. Top with another slice of eggplant and finish with a little more sauce, parmesan cheese and parsley as garnish. Serve along with roasted broccoli, or a salad.

text: I've been quite nervous about my new book, The Rat's Whiskers, because it doesn't really fit into any box. It's not a 'how to care for your rat' book, or a 'how to breed' book, or even a 'fun things to make for your rat' book. It's really just a photo record of how I raise my litters. So it is fantastic to receive a first review that shows that someone has completely got where I was coming from and has enjoyed the book. Thank you Coypu. x

19 JUNE 2017: In her brief time in her new foster home, shy Noel has actually been quite bold, checking out what's on the counters, picking up bones to chew on, investigating, and barking at basement residents and their dogs. She wags her tail, has a healthy appetite, and will come up to me to pet her. She seems confident around the other dogs - ears up, tail out. Noel has had no issues going outside or coming back in and no accidents in the house. She does bark a little in the crate but has kept it clean. She is a little nervous but has settled in nicely. Noel would probably do best in a home with another dog, that isn't too loud and active, and that has no small children.
First impressions: Meet sweet little Noel, she is a sensitive softie who is hoping to find a patient owner with a quiet lifestyle. Noel is hoping to find someone who is ready to help her take the right paw forward with some confidence building classes so she can find her way in this world. She would do best in a home with another dog that can teach her the ropes and could be her new buddy. Because she can be overwhelmed meeting new people and in new environments, Noel would be best suited for homes with adults only and no high-rise apartments. Noel is about 2 years old.

GPs don't have to treat their patients in homes
MPs are calling for better education of GPs on hepatitis C as part of a raft of recommendations to stem the 'tidal wave' of new cases.
The all-party parliamentary group on hepatology denounced the Government's record on the infection and said a national screening programme was needed.
The report, 'The Hepatitis C Scandal', said: 'An overriding requirement is for Government to demonstrate greater urgency in dealing with this "tidal wave" of disease.'
It said GPs needed to be made more aware of the signs and symptoms of hepatitis C 'as a matter of urgency' to encourage greater referral.
In London 30 per cent of patients with diabetes had abnormal liver tests, but only
1 per cent were being referred, MPs claimed.
One witness had written to London GPs and found four-fifths had little knowledge of the infection. 'Most of those were misinterpreting the results,' the report said.
The MPs criticised last year's Department of Health action plan on hepatitis C for failing to include targets.
David Amess MP, chair of the all-party parliamentary group, said: 'This report highlights the need for the NHS, and for the PCTs within it, to move hepatitis C much further up the agenda.'

General Overview
Ganesh Himal Trek
Trekking in Ganesh Himal is known as non-tourist trekking area of Nepal in comparison to Annapurna, Langtang and Everest region. We are trying to promote this region to make popular destination for trekking. We want you to be in the nature where most of the things are still natural.
Ganesh Himal Trek lies on the central eastern region of Nepal. This region offers spectacular views, untouched natural, splendor wild life and friendly inhabitants.
The Ganesh Himal is named after the elephant-headed God of Good Fortune. The Ganesh Himal can clearly be seen from Kathmandu Valley. The Ganesh Range Peaks (Ganesh I, Ganesh II, Ganesh III, Ganesh IV) stand out like crystal, that is the "Great Himalayan Chain" forming the skyline. This great Himalayan massif is contained between the valley of the Budhi Gandaki in the west and Bhote Koshi in the east, which becomes Trishuli Khola in the lower section.
The terraced hillsides seem to climb to the clear sky. Many inhabitant ethnic groups a mixed of lifestyle to offer you a glimpse into real Nepal, its life and this gives visitors an opportunity to monitor the rich Nepalese ancient tradition from the closest view and interact with locals, hence giving the visitor a sense of pleasure. The height of Sing-La 4075 m is just one of the high points of this trek where you can see the magnificent view of the mountains and valley. This is a classic camping adventure of a life time.
On our 14 days Ganesh Himal Trek, we observe the different ways of life, culture and come in contact with the rural people in the small village, passing through the dense forestation and meadows. We cross through high Shing La Pass 4075 m offers an excellent view of the massif Ganesh Himal, Langtang, and Annapurna. On the last day of the trip we take a bus ride back to Kathmandu or Pokhara or Chitwan from Dhading Bensi where we spend the final night of our trip.

The dress is made from black cotton twill that was hanging around here, doing nothing. ;)
The dress is fully lined with thin curry coloured cotton/PE mix. I've followed the assembly intruction about 70%, but I altered the back (instructions were for a zipper, but i REALLY didn't feel like inserting an invisible zipper...) and set the lining a little different than in the instuctions. Not a big deal really. The pattern went together nicely. Compagnie M has a few really nice instant-download patterns on their homepage, I really like the designs, they are simple and practical and with that special "je ne sais quoi", a twist. The prices are about 7 Euros, but she gives discount if you order several patterns in one go.
Have a lovely halloween!
Picture Update:
The Child with the dress. :) she's a real UFO - unbelievablely fast object!
