Summer 2017
By Derek Hunt
These days, components of all sizes are constantly being assessed in an effort to scale down from larger design templates, and embrace today's emphasis on miniaturization. Device portability, overall flexibility, as well as SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) continue to plague today's design engineer. And throughout this evolution of miniaturization, connectors have always found themselves on the front line as designers continue to ponder Size vs. Weight. But what if you could have the best of both worlds? Omnetics Connector Corporation offers a wide range of hybrid connector options allowing designers the ability to transmit data, signals, and power easily in a single connector footprint. By doing so, Omnetics' Hybrid Circular allows users the ability to save space, without having to sacrifice previous power requirements.
This new connector family is an ideal solution for designers looking to upgrade as it relates to not only the size, but as well as the overall performance of their miniature rugged devices. Designers themselves have the ability to determine the amount of signal and power connections that best serves their particular application. Omnetics Connector has laid out four standard design templates, ranging in size from 0.270" (6.86mm) O.D to 0.445" (11.30mm) O.D. The smallest option (shown above) allows for (2) 10 Amp power contacts, and (5) 3 Amp signal lines, all within the same O.D. as our popular 12-pin Micro Circular connector (shown too for comparison).
Similar to that of Omnetics' standard off-the shelf Micro Circulars, Omnetics' new Hybrid Circular family too has the ability to be sold with or without a latching feature.
Omnetics' Hybrid Circular design also allows users to design their preferred hybrid contact interface directly into one of Omnetics' three rugged metal shelled options: Threaded, Breakaway or a quarter-turn Twist-lock configuration. Each metal shell option, quickly allows Omnetics Hybrid Circular design to be used as a battlefield tested I/O solution to replace larger bulk-head options currently on the market today including 38999's, and Mighty Mouse configurations. Like all of Omnetics metal shelled circular solutions, the new hybrid design allows for add-on features for excellent EMI 360° shielding, extremely robust keying options, as well as other custom sealing options. Whether it's housed in a plastic or metal shell, each Hybrid Circular configuration will include with it dependable and robust gold plated contacts. These contacts are polarized and shrouded by Omnetics unique insulator, making these connectors capable of well over 500 mating cycles.
Omnetics family of hybrid connector options are an ideal interconnect solution for designers needing to adhere to and pass stringent power and signal requirements in some of the tightest spaces one can design around. These new hybrid offerings are currently being used across a number of markets from the battlefields to commercial food truck industry. These products are also suitable for robotics, portable communication systems, machine tools, and any other application that requires a compact rugged connector.

Omnetics Connector Corporation, a QPL manufacturer of Micro-miniature and Nano-miniature interconnects, is proud to announce their latest release; "Quick Lock" USB 3.0.
Unlike anything else previously engineered by Omnetics, there are no flex pins or sockets in our Quick Lock USB 3.0. In fact, Quick Lock USB 3.0 encompasses SuperSpeed "Type A" connectors sealed inside of a rugged, battlefield tested and proven IP67 housing to ensure users achieve the highest levels of reliability, while meeting USB 3.0 high-speed digital expectations. Once mated, this ruggedized high-speed connection is secure and waterproof to IP68 standards, and unlike ruggedized USB connectors packaged in the MIL-DTL-38999 circular standard, the rectangular Quick Lock USB 3.0 form factor utilizes a 32% smaller panel area footprint and is up to 4X lighter than other options currently on the market.
USB 3.0 speeds can run up to 5.0 Gb/s, and offer many benefits when moving large quantities of information from one place to another: Cloud transfer, portable instrument downloads, and high-speed digital camera applications all benefit. Surveillance equipment, from still-frame to continuous-scanning, can now send a constant stream of high-quality images with ease.
Omnetics' introduction of the Quick Lock USB 3.0 connector comes at the perfect time; demands for higher signal speeds and uninterrupted performance are at an all-time high. Omnetics' high-speed USB 3.0 connectors use a halogen-free cable jacket for environmental sustainability and support high, IR reflow temperatures of up to 255°C while maintaining solder mount compatibility. Omnetics' Quick Lock USB 3.0 connectors come standard, in-line, as well as in panel mount configurations. The male plugs come prewired in a tough environmentally sealed over-mold, while the female board and panel mount connectors are available in dual row surface mount or through hole version terminations for convenient direct to board assemblies or wired for convenient routing to other areas of the systems.
The Omnetics Quick Lock USB 3.0 product line meets the electrical parameters outlined in the newest USB 3.0 standard, and does so in a familiar package that allows users the ability to mate and de-mate in a rapid fashion without any tools, even when the operator is wearing heavy gloves.
The newer signal transmission protocols, such as USB 3.0, require multiple signal paths, as they include separate paths for data transmit and data receive and the multiple paths increase speed and signal capacity greatly. Each set of signal wires is twisted to avoid interference and requires its own drain wire. Each couple of twisted wires are also shielded from other groups. Since we depend on fast digital signal processing, the rise-time of the circuit must be well managed. Most signal processors are designed to push the signal out to a set load, and requires that the cable impedance will have a similar load, which is specified at 90 ohms +/- 7 ohms. The overall cable shield is important and protects the rest of the circuit from adjoining noise. The jacket of the shield is connected tightly and wrapped totally around a metal back-shell on the connector. This gives the Omnetics' USB Quick lock a superior performance to many of the lower end commercial units on the market.
Already, we see the "Quick Lock" USB being used in a number of high performance applications. One company has a central process control box containing multiple ports and requires USB speeds that can be connected intermittently when needed. The mil/aero industry is using Quick Locks for fast interconnection to UAVs so downloading payload data can be done quickly and efficiently. Portable Ethernet systems in the battlespace arena must be quickly set-up and ready for rapid relocation. Each week we find a new application for this system that surpasses older, existing USB and commercial systems.
Omnetics has a new and improved website! We have been working hard the past couple months to bring you a more user-friendly and clean-looking website that displays all of our relevant product and company data. Information about our company, products, industries, applications, and resources can be accessed through our streamlined menus and simple navigation.

In this installment, we are taking a break from our discussion on High-Speed Connector Design in order to look into Cable Design. This installment will look into the various options for conductors. Future installments will discuss insulation materials, shielding, and jacket materials. The series will conclude with a discussion on the various issues that arise due to cable selection.
Copper is the conductor for nearly all wires that are used in cable-connector assemblies today, but there are several different versions that can be considered. There is standard copper and copper alloys. There are also different platings to be considered, and the question of solid versus stranded wire. This article will discuss these options.
As mentioned, copper is the best and most popular option for the base material in wires. It provides an excellent balance of conductivity, formability, and cost. Copper or copper alloy is used almost exclusively for nearly all wires Omnetics uses. There are a few other options such as platinum and stainless steel that are used sparingly for the medical industry, which doesn't use copper for implantable devices. High-strength copper alloys are typically used for space applications and for smaller wires (typically 32 AWG and smaller). They have a reduced conductivity but provide improved tensile strength which helps avoid breaking wires, which becomes a challenge with smaller wires.
Plating is typically added to the wire for three reasons: (1) To minimize oxidation and corrosion; (2) To facilitate a simpler and more effective termination (either solder or crimp); (3) To provide better high-frequency performance. The platings used most often are:
Stranded wire is strongly preferred for nearly all Omnetics applications. Stranded wires provide improved flexibility, improved flex life, and have significantly better crimpability. The most popular stranded wires include seven strands, but for applications that need additional flexibility, nineteen strand versions are available.
Solid wires are slightly cheaper and have a slightly lower resistance compared to the same diameter stranded wire. However, these slight benefits are rarely enough to justify their use. The only applications where solid wires are typically considered are very high-speed applications. This is because solid wires can provide lower skew (the difference in electrical length between two wires) due to a more concentric and symmetrical construction.
Choosing the right conductor is critical. The options outlined in this article will help ensure that the cable selected is optimized for your specific application.
The oldest, and currently largest, user of high-temperature electronics (>150°C) is the downhole oil and gas industry. Temperatures in these hostile wells can exceed 200°C, with pressures greater than 25 kpsi. Active cooling is not practical in this harsh environment, and passive cooling techniques are not effective when the heating is not confined to the electronics. Besides the oil and gas industries, other applications, such as avionics, are emerging for high-temperature electronics.

Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter Talks 'True Defiance,' Tattoos + More
Seattle metal band Demon Hunter are celebrating their 10 year anniversary in the best way possible -- by releasing a new disc. 'True Defiance,' due out on April 10, is being coined as their most aggressive album to date, fueled by both their core principles in addition to their thoughts on the lackluster state of metal over the last few years.
Frontman Ryan Clark, both articulate and passionate about his art, has never been one to sit on the fence when it comes to his beliefs; it's this same drive that powers the songs on 'True Defiance.' Whether it's writing about how music changed his life in 'My Destiny,' or being the object of someone's animosity for simply standing up for what he believes in; 'Someone to Hate,' the songs blend all of the elements that Demon Hunter have perfected over the years – brutal aggressive metal embellished by melodic sparks.
Loudwire recently caught up with Clark to talk about 'True Defiance,' going against the grain and tattoos!
Your latest release 'True Defiance' is due out on April 10, talk about some of the major themes of the disc?
There's an unapologetic tone throughout the record. I would say that's the underlying theme. The album title says it all - in an age and society growing further away from what I believe, I find a sense of comfort going against the grain. I have a lot of beliefs that would be considered unpopular or politically incorrect, but I see myself clinging tighter to my worldview the older I get.
What does the title of this new album 'True Defiance' mean to you personally?
If heavy metal were to have an official "stance," in regard to its themes and ideals, we would be the antithesis of that. We carry the same relentless aggression that metal bands do, but the views we express in our lyrics are at odds with that of most metal. If it's decidedly "metal" to denounce God and worship self, then we're the ones being truly defiant within the scene.
Can you describe the new single 'My Destiny,' both lyrically and musically?
'My Destiny' is about the moment I realized that I wanted nothing more than to be a musician. It's about growing up without a care and finding music that changed my life; gave me a purpose. The lyrics, "But the fear, the blood, the sweat and sound, they brought me here to wait for the will to appear" talk about the first few shows that I went to... how the energy and honesty drew me in. Musically, the song is a little faster and more technical than our previous material, but it still has a classic Demon Hunter structure to it. The song is aggressive, but explores a lot of melodic territory as well, in both the vocals and guitars.
What was the experience of filming the video for the first single 'My Destiny' like, where did the concept of the video come from?
I came up with a basic concept/treatment and director, Robby Starbuck, injected some of his own creativity into it. I essentially wanted to show the early days of our musical upbringing. The teenage kids are loosely based on the five of us. We didn't grow up together, but many of us grew up the same way - into skateboarding, punk and heavy metal.
The performance footage shows us playing in a typical rehearsal space with dingy walls, bad fluorescent lighting, band posters, etc. It's meant to be a return to our roots.
You also released the song 'Someone to Hate.' Can you tell us about that tune, as well?
'Someone To Hate' is not entirely unlike 'My Destiny' in that it shares the scream/sing format that we're known for, but I'd say it's much more aggressive in terms of its message. Whereas 'My Destiny' is almost an emotional nostalgic piece, 'Someone To Hate' is an in-your-face barrage of unrelenting aggression. Because of that fact, I think the overall vibe of the song is darker.
The concept behind the song is that I will gladly be someone to hate, if it's for reasons pertaining to my beliefs. I'm comfortable being a target under those circumstances. I don't like to sit on the fence, so the song is about standing my ground and taking whatever heat comes from that.
Can you talk about the 'Someone to Hate' remix contest? Where did this idea come from and what has the response been like from fans so far?
The remix contest was an idea concocted by myself and the label's marketing department. We wanted to explore ideas that would get the fans involved and invested in the new material, so this seemed like a perfect opportunity. I really dig electronic music, so hearing our song with an electronic facelift is cool. It's been awesome to hear the submissions thus far. It's going to be tough to judge.
What are some of your other favorite tracks on the record?
I would say my favorite three songs are 'God Forsaken,' 'My Destiny' and 'Dead Flowers'... but my favorites are constantly changing. I've also really been loving 'This I Know' and 'We Don't Care' lately.
Many fans sport Demon Hunter Tattoos, how does this feel for you as an artist to have your band's logo or lyrics on so many bodies?
I'm honored that so many people have Demon Hunter tattoos, although I know the meaning behind a lot of them goes a lot deeper than the band. I think for many people, the DH logo has become a symbol of perseverance, determination, faith... many things.
Do you have any tattoos that represent your favorite bands?
I have three tattoos that are directly related to some of my favorite bands. Two of them have to do with Metallica and one for Pantera. I have 'To Live Is To Die,' (my favorite song on ...'And Justice For All') tattooed on my ribs. I also have "Hope" and "Fear" on my lower knuckles, which come from two different shirts that Pushead illustrated for Metallica. Those have double meaning, because Pushead is one of my favorite artists as well. Lastly, I have 'I'm Broken' written across my chest, which is one of my favorite Pantera songs.
What are the touring plans for Demon Hunter for 2012?
At the end of April we're playing one local show, and then heading to Europe for a week, so we're looking forward to that. We're finalizing summer tour plans as we speak, so keep an eye out for those soon.

NSW abortion law: Shooters party signals it will oppose bill due to fears of 'sex selection'
Robert Borsak says lack of provisions to stop 'gender selection' means party will inevitably vote against it
Michael McGowan
Sat 10 Aug 2019
The powerful New South Wales upper house Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party won't support a historic bill to decriminalise abortion in the state because of concern about a lack of provisions around so-called "sex selection" in the legislation.
Robert Borsak, one of two SFFP upper house MPs, told Guardian Australia on Saturday that the party would not support the bill without amendments aimed at preventing what he called "sex selection", despite all three of its lower house MPs voting in favour of the bill when it passed on Thursday.

False Hope
I would say that false hope is better than no hope except people who find false hope tend to stop looking for real hope.

Joplin is full of relgious groups, you know, all those people with false hope whom you say aren't looking, do everything they can to help.ReplyDelete
I have seen no atheist organizations making a concerted effort to help.
Where are those atheist activists like who went down to Joplin last year organizing meetups?
Where are the American Atheists and FFRF?
On their blogs.
Taking swipes as Christians.
Atheist spells Eatshit as far as I am concerned anymore.

Roaming around Roppongi (Day 14)
I woke up today still feeling a bit sick from my PI trip. = ( This is the 1st year I actually skipped Tokyo Auto Salon, but I heard the attendance was pretty light anyways. Sooooo, I spent the day browsing the shops and having a quiet day to myself. Here are just a few things that caught my attention. Enjoy!

It seems like months ago Lake Effect aired an interview with me talking up September books, but it was actually August 23, in the midst of my Seattle bookstore browsing. Here's the link to the interview if you'd like to listen to it. And look at that, one of the books discussed is our #1 fiction book this week.
1. Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline (signed copies available)
2. The Leftovers, by Tom Perrotta
3. A Trick of the Light, by Louise Penny
4. Shame the Devil, by Debra Brenagan
5. The Rules of Civility, by Amor Towles
6. The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain
7. American Boy, by Larry Watson (event 9/29)
8. The Cut, by George Pelecanos
9. The Borrower, by Rebecca Makkai
10. The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
Since we've got The Help selling in hardcover and paperback (yes, we had let the hardcover go until Jason noted it was still high on the national bestseller lists)...
Paperback fiction:
2. Tinkers, by Paul Harding
3. Montana 1948, by Larry Watson
4. A Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan
5. Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, by Helen Simonson
6. Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter, by Tom Franklin
7. One Day, by David Nichols
8. The All of It, by Jennifer Haien
9. The Fall of Giants, by Ken Follett
10. The Girl in the Polka-Dot Dress, by Beryl Bainbridge
Interesting that even though the jacket is different, they kept that very distinctive yellow color. I really like that they embraced what worked about the book--they seemed to do that with the script as well.
1. The Book of Secrets: Illegitimate Daughters, Absent Fathers, by Michael Holroyd
2. In My Time, by Dick Cheney
3. Arguably, by Christopher Hitchens
4. In the Garden of Beasts, by Erik Larson
5. Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand
6. Eighty Dollar Champion, Elizabeth Letts
7. All my Friends are Dead, by Avery Monsen
8. Forty Years of Chez Panisse, by Alice Waters
9. Cleopatra, by Stacy Schiff (paperback on sale Tuesday, event at library 10/4)
10. Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness, by Alexandra Fuller
While Cheney and Hitchens fight it out at Boswell (the numbers are close at our store, but I would suspect that this is not the case outside of urbany or college-towny indie bookstores), Holroyd wins with pent-up demand for his lauded new The Book of Secrets, that had some reprint delays. It's just a harbinger of things to come--and yes, we're all panicky about the slower reprints.
1. Living Large in Lean Times, by Clark Howard
2. How to Survive the Loss of a Love, by Harold Bloomfield
3. The Emperor of All Maladies, by Siddhartha Mukherjee
4. The Immortal Life o Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot
5. Half a Life, by Darin Strauss
6. The Hare with Amber Eyes, by Edward de Waal
7. The Happiness Project, by Gretchen Rubin
8. Misquoting Jesus, by Bart Ehrman
9. Unlikely Friendships, by Jennifer Holland
10. The S Word, by John Nichols
Glad that Jason put Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project back on our front table, as while we're very happy with our numbers, there are other indie stores selling ten times that number. I thought about this as I met the head of Hapacus, a happiness consulting group who is holding a happiness panel after a showing at the Downer. Hope to fill in the details shortly.
1. Esperanza Rising, by Pam Ryan
2. Home of the Brave, by Katherine Applegate
3. Inside Out and Back Again, by Thanhha Lai
4. Wildwood, by Colin Meloy
5. The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
A little bit of school sale in there, but Colin Meloy's Wildwood is the real deal of bookstore sales. I can't remember how many folks read it, Jason and Amie at least, and both are fans.
Don't forget that all books are available on our website, and if you are an ebook reader, you can use Google Editions to buy ebooks from our website that can be used on just about anything except a Kindle.

Yay! It's here!
Is there anything like the feeling of getting a goodie package full of surprises? I think not! Especially when it's full of EDIBLE suprises! This was my first go around at Blogging By Mail, hosted and managed by the always magnificent Stephanie of Dispensing Happiness. I didn't know until today where in the world my package would be coming from. I'm very thrilled to have received a box of Kiwi from Morven in New Zealand.
My box of goodies includes the obligatory Marmite as well as many other tasty things : passionfruit in sweetened syrup, tamarillo chutney, fruits of new zealand (kiwi and feijoas) jam, the neatest kiwi spoon i've ever seen, a cd of Brooke Fraser, a bottle of sauvignon blanc, dukkah nut and spice dip, several type of New Zealander chocolate (lemon cheesecake among them), feng shui green tea (with carrot flakes, pineapple cubes, papaya, lemongrass, sunflower blossoms and raspberry) and a bottle of pohutukawa lotion. With two weeks of winter holiday coming up I think I am very looking forward to nibbling my way through the box. Thank you Morven! And thank you Stephanie for making it happen. Happy Holidays all.

Halloween is just around the corner and I have looking at the costumes they have out this year. I was looking at Pottery Barn Kids online and saw this
Isn't it cute?
Last year I dropped the ball and forgot about finding Landon a cute trick or treat bag. So I just bought the .99 cent plastic one. This year I'm on it and found this cute treat bag with his name on it. They have some really cute bags this year. I ordered Landon's Easter basket from PBK and was very pleased with the quality, so I'm not going to miss my chance on this one.
I'm so ready for fall!!
On another note. I had my second set of x-rays on my hand today. The bone is healing very well. Only 3 more weeks in my splint.
Have a good weekend!!

We've got our instance up and running, now it's time to put some files there. We need data to make this all work!
I'm using Laura's stress related geoduck reference proteome as my example, but this should work with anything.
First, SSH in to your EC2 instance and make some directories where you'll put stuff.
Those look like some directories. Next we need to copy stuff over. I use
scp to copy everything over, since I have copies on my local hard drive. You can use curl, wget, or whatever you like.
Those are some files! Next I install percolator.
the pertinent command being
dpkg -i percolator-v3-01-linux-amd64.deb
Next, we install pecan.
I didn't take as many screenshots of this, but it's referenced in other posts. Short take: Unzip pecan, edit the config file located in
/pecan/PECAN/PecanUtil to look like:
Your proteome file names and locations may change, but the idea is the same.
then go to
/pecan/ and run
sudo python setup.py install. After a brief time, the build completes and you should be able to test things by running bare commands
Success! Now on to configuring Starcluster/Open Grid Engine. The not fun part of all of this.

Swat offensive aims to bring deviated people back on track : Kayani
Islamabad, June 15 (ANI): Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has said that the military operation against the Taliban and other extremists in the Malakand and Swat region was launched to bring those people back on track who had deviated from their path due to certain circumstances.
General Kayani said the operation has aptly been named 'Rah-e-Rast' which means the 'right track'.
Addressing mediapersons here, General Kayani said Pakistan Army was well equipped and had the best knowledge about how to proceed in its operation, and that it does not require and foreign advice or help in this regard.
"No one could understand our country better than us and the best possible result could be evolved in the present situation for long term betterment," The News quoted General Kayani, as saying.
He said the Swat offensive was very much different from a conventional confrontation.
"In the ongoing war, it is difficult to distinguish friends and enemies," General Kayani added.
He said the ongoing conflict should not be termed war of Islam, as Baitullah Mehsud or Fazllulah were not any religious scholars. (ANI)

We examined hypothyroidism control criteria in women in previous study. Part of thyroxin was replaced by 12.5 micrograms triiodthyronine (T3). After T3 treatment constant increase of the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) was observed in all cases. The aim of the study to evaluate T3 influence on testosterone level in women, SHBG level and FAI. SHBG directly determines the level of free androgen index (FAI). We have included 18 women with the increased level of FAI in this study. All the women were prescribed 12.5 microgrames of triiodthyronine. The level of T, SHBG and FAI was examined before and after the one month duration of treatment. The level of SHBG has increased after the treatment from 42.58 plus/minus 4.25 nmol/l to 80.94plus/minus 9.05 nmol/l (p<0.0003). The level of testosterone has decreased from 3.02plus/minus 0.27 nmol/l to 1.95plus/minus 0.19 nmol/l (p<0.004). The level of FAI has decreased from 7.91plus /minus 0.85 to 2.85plus/minus 0.33 (p<0.000008). In conculsion: triiodthyronine is effectively increasing SHBG, decreasing testosterone level and FAI and can be approved in future studies as effective drug for treatment of hirsutism, hyperandrogenism and infertility.

Chris Brown Sued Over Frank Ocean Parking Lot Brawl
Chris Brown can't catch a break in the legal department. A hit-and-run. Probation threatened. Graffiti drama.
The 'Fine China' singer is now being sued over the studio parking lot brawl that took place with Frank Ocean back in L.A. in January -- but it's not Ocean who is behind the suit. And yes, we're still talking about this.
Sha'keir Duarte, who is said to be Ocean's cousin and a member of his entourage that night, claims he was attacked by a member of Brown's posse during the epic confrontation over the parking spot, which took occurred on Jan. 27. Duarte is claiming that he suffered not only a concussion but also humiliation and mental anguish as part of the brouhaha. He's seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
He also claims that Brown threatened gun violence and that the singer's bodyguard punched him and kicked him 12 times, at his boss' urging. He said Breezy dropped the "n" word during the altercation, as well. At the time, Ocean had filed a battery report but opted not to press charges.
Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos (who must be criminally underpaid even if he is making millions), shot down the claims. "This is what gives lawyers and lawsuits a bad name is garbage like this," he said. He plans to countersue and ask that the suit be dropped.
Never, ever a dull moment when you are Breezy.

A Site Dedicated to all enthusiasts of Classic Style Banjo
The Reading Banjo Festival England 1991
Many styles from 25 Years ago...anyone spot the famous faces???
Views: 128
THIS is why I love the banjo, no matter what shape or size!
Let's all play "Name that CB Player" :-)
Yankee land ___ banjo oddity _______Soldier 's joy ______ darktown dandies _________bye bye blues and others
Yes Marc, those are some of the tunes but did you spot who the opening player was??
...our very own Richard Ineson as a child ;-)
Ah the boy Ineson as I first knew him.
That is of course the legendary John Willis with Sheamus, I never knew they ventured that far south! John, from the People's Republic of South Yorkshire, is still a great supporter of the Clowne Rallies (note change of date); builder of canoes and banjos and distiller of fine liquor. Sheamus came to stay at my house one summer ...he's big lad and takes some feeding!
Now I'm a bit confused. I don't see one opening player. I see 2. And now these 2 have been identified with 3 names. John, Sheamus, and Richard. Who is who please?
Well, I can help a little bit - I don't know who starts it off but 0.27-0.54 is Richard on the left the Doctor whose name escapes me on the right. Glimpse of Pat Doyle @ 1.24 could be Mike Redman in the background. John Willis and Sheamus are @1.48 - 2.00 (Sheamus is doing the dancing). After that there's a lot of plectrum, possibly Julian Vincent with full beard behind the tenor player.

Canticles: Psalm 91—Refuge
This post is part of a series called CANTICLES, in which I reflect upon a poetic biblical text chosen for the upcoming Sunday's worship. For a general introduction to the series, read this post.
Some poems play on a single metaphor, tracing the image through every permutation. Others weave multiple images together to create a tapestry of meaning. Psalm 91 is an example of the second kind.
Psalm 91's dominant metaphorical field involves military imagery. God is a fortress, whose faithfulness is a shield and buckler protecting from the arrows of the enemy. Beneath this dominant metaphor lies a pervasive sense of nourishing and comfort. God is a refuge under whose shadow we abide, who covers us with wings like a mother bird, in whom we make a dwelling place, and who satisfies us (nourishes us to filling) with long life. God is both mighty warrior and nursing mother, behind whom we hide and in whose embrace we snuggle.
I could say that God has brought me to the brink of death dozens of times. Or I could say that God has snatched me from the brink of death dozens of times.
If we imagined God in Lord of the Rings terms (why not?), God would be both Helm's Deep—a near-impenetrable fortress hewn out of rock—and the Shire—a cozy home, in which one feels safe and nourished.
In some ways, this psalm's promises appear too good to be true. After all, I've dashed my feet against many a rock. I regularly cower in fear of night terrors, diseases, even my own failures and the consequences of my wickedness. It becomes all too easy to dismiss God's care for us when our life is filled with pain and sorrow, when wickedness grows all around and the poor and oppressed cannot catch a break.
But the promise of this psalm is both more bleak and more hopeful. The psalm never promises no sorrow, but rather that we will survive the sorrow that does come. The evil and the scourge are all around us, but they need not overcome us or dwell with us. Instead, we can dwell with God.
I recently landed in the hospital and endured a frightening health episode. Reflecting on the experience, I wrote:
"It seems to me that most of life can be experienced in at least two ways. The first way encounters every moment as a potential threat. The second sees every moment as a potential gift. This is an oversimplification, of course. But I think most of us encounter life primarily in one of these two ways. For most of my life, I have walked the first way. I am a fearful person. I'm the first to admit it…. But the speaker of Psalm 71 has a different perspective. Later in the psalm we discover that she is advanced in years. She has lived a long life and prays with confidence that God will save her even in her old age. She can pray this way not because she has avoided trouble all of her life, but because she has survived that same trouble. 'You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again.' (71:20)…. I could say that God has brought me to the brink of death dozens of times. Or I could say that God has snatched me from the brink of death dozens of times."
The end of Psalm 91 pivots beautifully from the confidence of the psalmist to God's own voice, assuring the pray-er through a string of powerful verbs.
"Those who love me [those who cleave close to me], I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honor them.
With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation." (91:14-16)
What a beautiful song for God to sing over us.
Song Recommendations
Robbie Seay, Psalm 91 – This arrangement of the final three verses, God's promise to the psalmist, absolutely nails the beating heart of this psalm. The Hebrew root for the word "love," holds a larger field of meaning that evokes "cling to, cleave to, join together." Seay paraphrases this as "holds fast to me in love." The song builds to a passionate climax, but the simplicity of words weaves through the whole as a chant. If you want to sing this song in the congregation and avoid exclusively masculine language, it is fairly easy to replace "he," "his," and "him," with "they," "their" and "them":
Because they hold fast to me in love
I will deliver them, I will protect them
because they know my name.
When they call me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble;
I will rescue them and honor them.
With long life I will satisfy them
and show them my salvation.
Loud Harp, Hold Me Together – This haunting song is not a direct paraphrase of Psalm 91, but it evokes the psalm's spirit. The battle becomes more interior, threatening to pull the singer apart from the inside. God's protection then becomes holding us together. Even better, the band provides free chord charts for their songs.
Anne Steele and Kevin Twit, Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul – This re-tuned hymn employs the "refuge" language of Psalm 91 to great effect. The link leads to the RUF Hymnal, with chord charts, PowerPoint, piano, musical demo, a Spanish language version and more.
Henry Lyte and Justin Smith, Abide With Me – Another wonderful RUF Hymnal re-tuned hymn. The link provides everything you would need for worship. Whereas the last song took its cues from the word "refuge," this song pays more attention to God's continuing protective presence, in life and even in death.
The Community at Taizé, Mane Nobiscum – When I visited Taizé two years ago, we sang this song nearly every day. It quickly became one of my favorites. The lyrics are incredibly simple and the melody adds to the feeling of home. The Latin translates to "Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ." But I prefer to nuance the translation: "Make your home with us, Lord Jesus Christ." This can be sung with or without the solo floating over the top. I actually prefer it without. The Taizé Community also provides resources to learn the music for this chant here.
Marcus A. Hong is a child of God, a PhD Candidate in Christian Education and Formation at Princeton Theological Seminary, and a cultivator of worship who has served in congregations, college chapels, and youth groups for over fifteen years. A lover of movies, fantasy literature, poetry and songwriting, Marcus and his wife Sarah have their hands blessedly full raising two precocious children.

I tried to search to which chronicle version the classic is most similar to, but i can't find anything. Could someone enlighten me on what is currently in the game and how close it is to C6?

Benefits of this program: In just three sessions – Enjoy again deep restorative sleep – Awaken refreshed and revitalised – Have more energy – Recharge Your body and Mind
There are a number of misconceptions about sleep. Here are a few of them. Foremost, being that you sleep through from the minute your eyes close and then awaken. As a species, wakening during the night was probably an inbuilt survival pattern. Having a nap will disturb your sleep at night. It depends on how long the nap lasted and how close it was to your bedtime. To be most beneficial it should be between ten to twenty minutes, no longer. A more accurate way to consider napping is that it is a short period of resting deeply. Seven or eight hours sleep is an often cited as being required to stay healthy. An occasional night when you do not have this amount of sleep will not adversely affect your physical or mental health. Quite often, you may feel refreshed from a relatively short period of sleep. Quality is of equal importance as quantity.
Extended periods of disturbed sleep can have serious detrimental effect on you physical and mental wellbeing. You may question why we need sleep at all. Sleep restores energy to your brain. Your brain accounts for about 3% of your body weight. Yet it uses between 20-25% of the body's energy. There are innumerable issues that will adversely affect your sleep. What is going on in your life being the major cause. Problems or issues real or imaged will generate stressors. Issues affecting relationships, work, finances, healthy lifestyle, exercise, irregular work patterns, diet, ill health, pain, or injuries are just a few things that lead to long periods of disturbed sleep.
Another obvious cause is the amount of coffee or caffeine drinks you have during your day. It takes around five hours for caffeine to pass through your system.
Something that is often misunderstood is that you get older you need less sleep. A contributing factor could be that with age you may become less active. Exercise brings a number of benefits and one being that your body is likely to produce more endorphins. They help you to feel more relaxed and often a sense of contentment. Problems you experience when you close your eyes have been with you before that moment.
This program will examine the cause of your disturbed sleep/insomnia. It will cover a wide range of techniques and daily habits to cultivate to help ensure resting restorative sleep. Should you find yourself wakening during the night I have a very simple exercise that will soon have you drifting back to sleep.
