Floyd Mayweather responds to being compared with Lomachenko following the Ukraine boxer's win recently over Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Mayweather behind the scenes has long been known to be a student of the sport of boxing's history.
Despite his extrovert "Money" persona he put out there to the world over the years.
Like most boxing fans, Mayweather was a keen observer of last weekend's Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux fight.
A bout which although ultimately was a disappointment, one that still drew most people's interest in boxing beforehand due to the skill that was expected to be on show.
Speaking to Fight Hype Mayweather believed Rigondeaux was never going to win due to the size disadvantage in the first place:
"A small good fighter would never beat a good bigger fighter."
He added:
"You can look at it from the beginning of time."
Following the bout Rigondeaux's suspected broken hand injury was shown to not be a broken hand.
Rather a very swollen left hand.
Floyd Mayweather has gone into the fight in detail between the two and also touched on the comparisons of him and Lomachenko to Fight Hype YouTube:

Does God Speak through Phallus Impudicus?
"Speak into the mike." —Guys from my high school days
By BetsyG
With all the rain we've had this summer, it's been a banner year for mushrooms in New England. Indeed, my friend Bonnie noticed an odd one on my lawn the other day that looked as if it was covered with black, velvety polka dots. Quite a visual treat.
The recent influx of fungi reminded me of something that happened a couple of summers ago. My friend Angie, who lives in North Carolina, IMed me to tell me about a strange mushroom she'd found growing in her yard.
"It looks exactly like a penis!"
She sent me a picture. It did bear a remarkable resemblance to a penis, I agreed. A real one-eyed monster.
Also known as a stinkhorn, its Latin name is phallus impudicus. Angie was advised to dig it up whole, put it in a trashbag, and seal up the bag tightly, because if the stinkhorn broke open, it would live up to its name and emit an odor most foul. She performed the operation and we had a good (virtual) laugh as she told me about it.
A few days later, I was in my yard when I saw a flash of white in the planting bed in front of my house. Rising through the bark mulch was…a large penis, with an enormous set of kohonas.
I, too, was being visited by the phallus impudicus.
If you hadn't already decided that this story is weird, allow me to explain the two levels on which I think it's weird. Angie had never before and has never since seen a phallus impudicus. I live 800 miles north of her and I, too, had never seen one before and haven't seen one since. Nobody I know has seen or heard of it. And as far as I know, the only yard in my neighborhood that featured a not-quite-to-scale replica of an erection that week was mine.
It's not as if there was an East Coast epidemic of stinkhorns. Yet two days after my friend who doesn't even live in the same climate zone as me finds this bizarre thing growing in her yard, I find one growing in mine.
I can't even begin to guess at the cosmic meaning of that.
The other weird thing is…what?? Have you looked at the picture? If you're areligious as I am, this garden schlong has to make you stop and think. Why would something that looks so exactly like the male anatomy exist in fungus form? There's some real weirdness in nature, but you can generally figure why the thing adapted as it did or the purpose of the odd trait. Porcupines have quills to ward off attack. Butterflies are painted to look like leaves and plants so they'll be less likely to be eaten. It's all about survival, Baby.
By what is the point of this mushroom looking so perfectly phallic? I have a couple of odd thoughts swimming in my head (curious women will touch it, thus breaking it so it can spread its spores?), but I keep coming back to thinking that it's to prove not just that there's a God, but that God has a wicked sense of humor. It's so random and ridiculous, and if you saw one in real life, you might start to think that too.
Giant balls. Really.
While you're pondering that, I'd like to tell you my mother's favorite joke. I might have to record this for youtube so you can hear it with the Jewish accent, but for now, use your imagination.
Lance, a young actor trying to make his way in Hollywood, has just gotten the news that he's landed his first part in a movie.
"One thing," his agent explains. "You have to do a nude scene. So you need to get an all-over body tan immediately."
Lance is so thrilled to have a part in the movie, he goes straight to the beach, wearing nothing but a thong. He gets an awesome tan.
The next day, he goes to the movie set and shows the director his tan. But the director has a fit.
"No, no! An all-over tan, I said! And when I say all over, I mean all over!"
Lance is eager to comply, but now he has a tan everywhere but his boy parts, and he figures if he lies out naked, the tan will be uneven. So he comes up with a briliant idea to bury himself in the sand, leaving just his penis exposed to the sun.
He goes to the beach and does just that. While his manhood is toasting, two older Jewish women—Sadie and Ethel—walk by.
Sadie stops Ethel and points to Lance's member. (Oh, please try to hear the Jewish accent!)
"When I was young, I was scared to death of it," she says. "When I was middle aged, I couldn't get enough of it. And now that I'm old and have no use for it…it's growing wild!"
(Mom was generally quite genteel, but any joke that allowed her to perform with her Jewish accent was acceptable. No one tells a joke better than my mother.)

Manchester City are "fully co-operating in good faith" with Uefa's ongoing investigation into alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations by the club.
The Premier League champions have, however, expressed concern about reports that investigators will push for a Champions League ban before any official statement has been made by the European governing body.
Uefa opened an investigation into alleged financial irregularities at the club earlier this year.
A statement from City read: "Manchester City FC is fully co-operating in good faith with the CFCB IC's (club financial control body investigatory chamber) ongoing investigation.
"In doing so the club is reliant on both the CFCB IC's independence and commitment to due process; and on UEFA's commitment of March 7 that it '…will make no further comment on the matter while the investigation is ongoing'.
"The New York Times report citing 'people familiar with the case' is therefore extremely concerning.
"The implications are that either Manchester City's good faith in the CFCB IC is misplaced or the CFCB IC process is being misrepresented by individuals intent on damaging the club's reputation and its commercial interests. Or both."
City were fined £49 million and hit with restrictions on transfer spending and the size of their Champions League squad after FFP breaches were originally investigated in 2014.
However, Uefa began a new probe after further allegations about the same period initially looked into were made in German publication Der Spiegel last year.
City have denied any wrongdoing.
The statement added: "Manchester City's published accounts are full and complete and a matter of legal and regulatory record. The accusation of financial irregularities are entirely false, and comprehensive proof of this fact has been provided to the CFCB IC."
A statement from Uefa read: "We do not comment on ongoing investigations regarding financial fair play matters," but according to the New York Times, investigators now want rules upheld and City punished with a ban.
The BBC reported on Tuesday that a final decision is yet to be made by chief investigator Yves Leterme.
The former Belgian prime minister, chairman of the investigatory panel of Uefa's independent financial control board, is set to make a recommendation this week.
With no vote in such cases, the final say lies with him but several of his colleagues are understood to have firmly expressed the view at a recent meeting that a season-long ban would be a suitable punishment if City are found guilty.
Uefa's adjudicatory chamber would have to decide whether it agreed with any recommendation from Leterme, although it is unlikely to apply to next season's competition because City could appeal, and even take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

One of the unfortunate bobbles in marketing personal development concepts and creating positive consciousness on the planet is that many of the stewards of such causes believe the efforts should be free or donated. This, in my opinion, creates a mediocre landscape and devalues the credibility of the efforts. What are your thoughts? Should we tout messages of "good" for free?

While we still encourage taking your car to the shop as much as possible, we do think that pre-emptively maintaining it so you don't have to is really the best way to go.
It's pretty useful to learn as much as you can about your car, and eventually become an amateur diesel specialist in your own right. In a lot of ways, diesel engines require their own special care. Here are our tips for maintaining your own diesel engine so that it lasts for as long as you want it to.
You Get a Filter! And You Get a Filter! Everyone Gets a Filter!
Diesel engine filters are the white blood cells of a diesel engine. They make sure that contaminants don't enter the fuel supply of your car. Just like white blood cells, they don't always survive the onslaught of contaminants, and eventually, they need to be replaced.
Be vigilant about your filters. If your car starts sputtering to a halt, or gives you a lot of jerky movements, it's probably time to replace that ageing filter with a new one.
It's also important to get in touch with what type of diesel filters your car comes outfitted with. Some filters screw off to get rid of collected condensation, others have cartridges that can be replaced, while some have to be completely removed and replaced. Know your car! Alternatively, you can also get a pre-filter to add a lot of life to your car.
Oil You Need is Love
The oil inside your diesel car makes sure that all the mechanical parts stay well lubricated and as a result, not damaged by the abrasiveness that is inherent to perpetual motion.
Diesel oil changes are rated by your car's manual usually, but are also effected by a variety of factors. These include but are not limited to cars that travel long distances on highways getting more out of their oil than inner-city short distance cars, as well as cars that operate in the cold needing more frequent oil changes.
Heat Wave
Diesel starts becoming gelatinous at lower temperatures. This can really cause long term problems with car filters and other parts of your diesel vehicle. While most modern vehicles come with a fuel pre-warmer that will make sure that the car starting a problem, it's still a great long-term car health measure to leave the engine on for a while when you first start the ignition, to really get the juices flowing.
Keepin' it Coolant
The coolant in your car makes sure that your vehicle doesn't go thermo-nuclear with all the heat generation coming from the moving parts and the fuel combustion.
Over time, however, it gets very acidic, and needs to be replaced so that it doesn't cause damage to your metallic parts. Not replacing your coolant and other fluids in your car can be a potentially disastrous mistake that you make.
Have you read our tips for car maintenance, but are still worried that you'll botch a repair job? For diesel services near Emerald, QLD, contact us at (07) 4982 4919 to get your diesel vehicle diagnosed with state of the art DYNO tuning facilities.

Breitbart: Thousands are gathering on the National Mall for the 47th annual March for Life to celebrate the sanctity of life from conception to death and to advocate for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court that made abortion on demand the law of the land and has resulted in an estimated 60 million deaths of unborn children.
And this year Donald Trump will make history as the first sitting U.S. president to speak in person at the march.
"We are deeply honored to welcome President Trump to the 47th annual March for Life," Jeanne Mancini said in a statement. "He will be the first president in history to attend and we are so excited for him to experience in person how passionate our marchers are about life and protecting the unborn."
"From the appointment of pro-life judges and federal workers, to cutting taxpayer funding for abortions here and abroad, to calling for an end to late-term abortions, President Trump and his administration have been consistent champions for life and their support for the March for Life has been unwavering."

Syd Jones Reserve Upgrade
Consultation closed 5.00pm, Monday 9 July 2018.
The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters is upgrading Syd Jones Reserve, located on the corner of Sullivan Street and Coorara Avenue, Firle.
By upgrading Syd Jones Reserve, the Council will be providing a well-designed and innovative open space that will contribute to the vibrancy of the local area.
We are now seeking ideas from the local community to help shape the draft Concept Plan.
Why upgrade Syd Jones Reserve
The Council's Open Space Strategy identifies the location of Syd Jones Reserve, situated between Firle and Payneham South, to be an area lacking in quality public open space.
The upgrade of Syd Jones Reserve will cater for the needs of the current and growing communities of Firle and Payneham South, as well as the anticipated increase in the number of young people in these suburbs in the future. Upgrades could include new play spaces and facilities, such as new play equipment and seating.
More information about Syd Jones Reserve, including relevant document links and an overview of existing facilities, is provided on this page.
Have your say
We are seeking feedback from the local community on what you would like to see at Syd Jones Reserve (e.g. new play equipment, seating, picnic facilities), and what elements you would like to keep (e.g. trees, grassed area).
You can have your say in the following ways:

Description and context
The Council's Open Space Strategy, adopted in 2003, guides the provision, development and management of open space in the City.
The Strategy includes specific actions, guidelines and priorities that assist the Council to make informed and planned decisions regarding open space.
Syd Jones Reserve is currently designated as a Regional Level Reserve in the Council's Open Space Strategy because of its unique range of activities including table tennis and the formerly operative tennis courts, however its size and functionality reflect a Neighbourhood Level Reserve.
The Council's Playgrounds Strategy Report, adopted in 2006, provides the long term strategic direction for the future provision and management of playgrounds throughout the City.
The Strategy identifies the key issues associated with each of the playgrounds and outlines a strategic framework for the enhancement of these important community assets.
An important outcome of the Playgrounds Strategy Report is the hierarchy of playgrounds, which aims to achieve different levels of provision and the best use of resources.
The Playgrounds Strategy Report designates Syd Jones Reserve as a Neighbourhood Level Playground. This Neighbourhood Level assumes that the playground will provide good quality, standard rather than unique, equipment that caters to arrange of different age groups.
The two existing tennis courts currently located on Syd Jones Reserve are no longer in use. The tennis courts were recommended for removal in the Council's Tennis Facilities Strategy developed in 2005. Specifically, the Strategy recommends removal of the courts on the basis that the courts are in poor condition and require full reconstruction and that there is an adequate supply of courts in close proximity.
In addition, the Tennis Facilities Strategy recommends removing the tennis courts to provide better functionality and enhance the Reserve.
Existing facilities and assets
SES Building
Syd Jones Reserve was formerly the home of the Eastern Suburbs State Emergency Service (SES).
The building that housed the SES was constructed of besser blocks (cement brick) and was in relatively poor condition. Following the SES decision to vacate the site in 2015, the Council resolved to demolish the building and return the area to open space, as it was considered that it was not worth investing significant funds to upgrade the building; given the age and condition of the building.
In 2016, the building was demolished and returned to simple landscaping to enable the area to be utilised until a Concept Plan for Syd Jones Reserve is developed and the Reserve is upgraded.
Table Tennis Academy
The Payneham Table Tennis Academy moved into the current location in Sullivan Street, Firle, in 1964. The facility houses six table tennis tables available for practising, competition match play and social table tennis.
In general the Council has been very supportive of the Club and has assisted the Club to improve its accommodation.
The Table Tennis Academy building would not be included in the upgrade of Syd Jones Reserve due to the funding resources allocated, however there may be opportunities to better integrate the outside of the building with the Reserve.
The playground equipment at Syd Jones Reserve is very limited, in very poor condition and is not in use. Whist maintenance renewal of this equipment is possible, the cost is high and for the same money, new equipment could be installed.
Syd Jones Reserve currently has male and female toilets which are in a dilapidated state and require demolition.

Word by the best way, that reported earnings, revenues, and bills don't essentially characterize actual money inflows or outflows. It's because regulatory groups, standards boards, and tax authorities, permit or require corporations to use conventions reminiscent of depreciation expense, allotted costs, and accrual accounting on the income statement. Actual cash circulation gains and losses for the period are reported more straight on another reporting instrument, the statement of modifications in monetary place (or cash movement assertion).

When on standby, the mortgage can be considered as equity by the financial institution. Remember that notes receivable (officer) are considered a foul sign to lenders, while notes payable (officer) are thought of to be reassuring.

[UPDATED] Edited version of both gyroscope experiments (far more viewer friendly)Since uploading the original 6hr gyroscope test to determine whether the earth was turning or not, I have been keen to run a test confirming the bearing in the gyroscope gimbal was sensitive enough for the job at hand. This sounded like an easy enough task, but after a number of attempts with bits of things I had lying around, I soon found out it was actually quite tricky. The experiment is a follow-up to the original 6hr gyroscope experiment found hereor the much more palatable 3min summery here:The purpose of the experiment was to test whether the friction in the main bearing of my gyroscope gimbal would be strong enough to overcome the proposed slow rotation of the Earth The initial experiment spanned 6 hrs and was designed to demonstrate the Earth rotation (ala Foucault 1852), however, as predicted the gyroscope didn't move at all. The YouTube comments suggested (some quite rationally & politely) that friction in the bearing was to blame for the non-movement, and invalidated the whole thing. (click the images to enlarge)
There was even a response from the manufacturing company owner http://imgur.com/HbwcsTc The discussions carried on on Twitter too https://twitter.com/swearyG/status/802999624705409024
About year ago I contacted the owner of the manufacturing company that made the Precision Gyroscope and had some in-depth discussion on the topic. Mr. Turner was convinced that his Precision Gyroscope was not capable of registering any movement of the earth, [wait for it] due to the amount of friction on the main bearing, and therefore it was not capable of registering 15 degrees of movement every hour, or the rotation of the earth. I maintained that it would be sensitive enough, due to the high 12,000 rpm being able to generate more than ample energy to overcome any bearing friction from an already precision tooled main bearing. This was, of course, just my opinion.
Unfortunately Mr. Turner has not been back on twitter since we talked, but I will email him shortly to inform him of the results. So, I've been working on a viable way to #TESTIT In order to test this opinion, I obtained a high torque 24 hour clock mechanism where the hour hand shaft rotated 360 degrees in 24 hours (same as the proposed spin of the earth)
I attached a platform to this hour hand shaft and placed the gyroscope on top of the platform
I could see two possible outcomes
If the gyroscope was not sensitive enough to register the hour hand turning, then the entire gyroscope and gimbal would have rotated with the 15 degree per hour platform.
Alternatively, should the gyroscope be sensitive enough for the job, then we would see the gimbal legs move with the platform, BUT the gyroscope would remain 'rigid in space' and pointing in the same direction it was when it was spun up.
[Unedited raw version)
As we will see from this initial 2 hour test, the gyroscope performed perfectly and remained rigid, thus demonstrating that it IS sensitive enough to register a rotation rate of 15 degrees per hour, or 360 degrees per 24 hours., or the claimed rotation of the spinning ball earth
So What Does This All Mean
Though the video is mind numbingly boring, despite something actually moving this
time, It's significance is literally world stopping
What this means is that the main criticism regarding the initial "Spin of the Earth Detection Experiment" has now been shown to be unwarranted. Meaning the 6hr non-rotation demonstration and results still stand, unchallenged.
Via the Scientific Method –
[PS. Please feel free to provide any counter evidence that refutes this, but I do mean actual evidence not just opinion from the peanut gallery]

The fictional life of a catholic priest from Scotland by a master of storytelling.
In many ways Father Francis Chisolm, the hero of Cronin's tale, reminded me of the whisky priest on Graham Greene's The Power and the Glory. He is a very ordinary man, convinced of his own unfitness and inadequacy to serve God, who has an extraordinary faith based on a naive personal relationship with God, perpetually at odds with the Church hierarchy. His life, from being a rivet monkey in Tyneside shipyards, a recalcitrant student and seminarian, a curate battling for working men and women, to a Chinese missionary, is contrasted with that of his boyhood friend Anselm Mealy who rises through the church to become a fat and flabby Bishop. His unorthodox beliefs ("the best man I ever knew was an atheist"), his self-doubt, and his struggles (trying and failing to be a pacifist when a Chinese warlord is shooting at his mission) make him a Christ-like figure. And there were moments when it became so sad or so touching that I found it difficult to read. Sniff!
And just like the whisky priest he is convinced of his failure to the very end. But we know that, despite the scorn of the world, here is a true hero.
There's nothing fancy about Cronin's style. He tells a good story, with clearly drawn characters. Perhaps the characters are a little bit too baddy or goody and perhaps the coincidences are a little too obvious but it was a real page turner with lots of action and a wonderful lead character. He might not have been a posh author but he could really spin a yarn. I'll have to locate some more of his work.
The Keys to the Kingdom was a 1944 film starring Gregory Peck (and earning him an Oscar nomination).
He also wrote The Citadel (his first book and a best-seller; its description of medicine in the 1920s was helpful in the setting up of the NHS), Hatter's Castle, The Stars Look Down (an inspiration for Billy Elliot) and created the character of Dr Finlay in Adventures of a Black Bag.
An incredible book. August 2015; 316 pages
This blog has lots of book reviews. I read biography, history books and fiction; I sometimes read other non-fiction book genres too.

The Ergomotion Contour Elite Platinum Adjustable Base is designed to optimize the shape of your mattress when in an elevated position, allowing you to rest more naturally.
As the head section raises, the platform expands and moves towards the wall, allowing the mattress to conform to the angle of the base reducing any bridging or compression of the mattress and can provide an easier transition for the stomach.
An easy-to-use remote provides access to programmable presets
True Wall Hugger Design - Wall saving technology allows you to stay in place next to your nightstand, even when you raise the head.
Zero Clearance Frame - The Contour Elite base fits inside any standard bed frame just like a box spring. Great for bed frames that have drawers underneath. It is also designed to beautifully stand on its own.
Zero G - The Zero Gravity preset puts your body into a position that opens up the spine, helping to relieve back pain. By elevating your legs above your heart, the Zero G preset will increase circulation throughout your body, raising those pesky problem areas.
Built in Massage Therapy - Two independent, quiet, next generation massage motors provide a relaxing massage. Each of the three intensity levels can be set for 10, 20, or 30 minutes of muscle relaxing bliss.

I've been looking around for some cute soft tee's, I'd have to say that the split tee's are one of my top picks for fall. What's nice about this split tee is that the slits don't go up really high ;). Usually my favorite tee's I have to splurge a little, but these you don't and they feel almost the exact same as a $90 tee. How gorgeous is this burgundy color for fall?
Have an amazing day! 🙂

I keep hearing about it. At 4 months 10 days we've had no signs… yet (apart from outgrowing her baby-grows) I'm hoping she doesn't 'catch it'. (I appropriately hear my baby crying from her cot)
WHAT IS IT: Your baby got them into a nice nap and sleep routine and suddenly it all changes and baby doesn't sleep like they used to. Apparently a whole bunch of stuff is happening around this time: they are becoming alert for longer/more aware of their surroundings, their sleep cycles are changing and they are most likely going through a growth spurt! 4 main indicators are:
- Increased fussiness
- Multiple night wakings
- Reduced naps or "disaster naps"; and
- Changes in appetite…
- (And I would also suggest they start looking like incredible hulk in their clothing)
WHAT'S UP WITH THEIR SLEEP CYCLE: New borns mainly have deep sleep. Around 4 months their sleep cycle is also introduced to active sleep/REM. When a baby enters REM they have a startle reflex which will wake them up. So unless they know how to soothe themselves and fall back to sleep they will look for other help getting back to sleep.
5 tips to help:
- Go with the flow but keep them in a routine of sorts and babies respond well to structure
- Jump on your baby's sleeping cues and get them down when they show the signs!
- Consider introducing them to being put to bed 'drowsy' but still awake
- Be mindful of creating a new sleeping crutch
- Offer lots of hugs and kisses

2004 Nominations Announced
Nominations announced today for the 7th Annual BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM AWARDS to be held on Tuesday 30 November at Hammersmith Palais, London W6
The nominations for this year's British Independent Film Awards are announced today, Tuesday 26 October. The Awards will be presented on Tuesday 30 November at Hammersmith Palais. The evening event commences with a champagne reception at 7.15pm followed by dinner and the awards ceremony.
This year has seen some wonderful new talent on-screen and behind the scenes. First time nominees include Scarlett Johansson, Imelda Staunton, Phil Davis, Eva Birthistle, Anne Reid and Natalie Press. They are joined by previous BIFA winners Samantha Morton, Daniel Craig, Kevin Macdonald and Shane Meadows.
'This year's nominees reflect the growing strength and diversity of British independent filmmaking,' says BIFA founder and director, Elliot Grove, 'Our selection committee had a harder time than ever narrowing down the field. It's also extremely gratifying to see two of our past Douglas Hickox Award (for Best Directorial Debut) winners following through on the promise that they showed: both Kevin Macdonald and Shane Meadows were recognised by BIFA for their first feature films and both are nominated this year in the Best Director category.'
The BIFA pre-selection committee viewed a diverse range of independent films from which they selected the nominations and this year sees an eclectic mix of nominees from drama to comedy to romance excelling in a number of categories. DEAD MAN'S SHOES leads the way with eight nominations. VERA DRAKE seven nominations and MY SUMMER OF LOVE received five nominations. Other multi-nominated films include SHAUN OF THE DEAD, AE FOND KISS…, GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING, ENDURING LOVE and TOUCHING THE VOID.
Now in their seventh year, the British Independent Film Awards continue to grow in size and stature, filling an important niche in the UK and independent filmmaking calendar. The talent and achievements of these independent filmmakers will be celebrated at the ceremony.
Also this year, The Variety UK Personality Award, honours J K Rowling for her contribution to the industry.
'At the source of one of the greatest creative successes in the history of film, the Harry Potter phenomenon, you'll find a U.K. author: J.K. Rowling. Rowling's internationally-beloved works are the starting point of the U.K. film community's role in the Potter film phenom, continuing with the producers, the production locations, services, facilities, creative wizards and of course, the cast. To celebrate Rowling is to also celebrate the vitality of this magic-making community.'

In this (relatively) recent VIS image, taken by the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter on January, 23rd, 2014, and during its 53.722nd orbit around the Red Planet, we can see a few of the most common Martian Aeolian Features, such as the so-called "Windstreaks", whose orientation (here, they are extending from East to West, in the Lee of a few Impact Craters with pronounced - meaning: elevated/high - Rims) tells us the direction of the Dominant Wind/s blowing in and all over the Region.
These specific Windstreaks are found on the Volcanic Plains (and Lava Flows) which are located between the large Martian Volcano known as Alba Mons and the Region of Acheron Fossae.
Latitude (centered): 31,5024° North Longitude (centered): 233,1180° East Instrument: VIS
This image (which is an Original Mars Odyssey Orbiter b/w and Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 18125) has been additionally processed, magnified to aid the visibility of the details, contrast enhanced, Gamma corrected and then colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Mars Odyssey Orbiter and then looked down, towards the Surface of Mars), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.

Permanently closing after Fall Clean-Ups in Nov 2020.
The aerating process punctures the lawn through the roots and penetrates the soil to allow for improved oxygenation and nutrient transport, which eventually leads to new root growth 6-8 weeks later.
Is performed using an aerator. The machine itself uses a small combustion engine to drive the wheels and rotate the shaft on which the splines are located. Ballast weights, which are usually solid iron bars weighing 30-35 lbs each, provide the weight to force the splines down through the grass blades, roots, and thatch into the soil a few inches and pull out cylindrical-shaped "plugs" creating temporary voids in the lawn.
Because of the ballast weights and weight of machine itself given its relatively small size, the process can be very labor intensive and exhausting.
"Plugs" will be seen scattered on a lawn that was aerated recently...
It takes about 6-8 weeks from the time of aeration for the punctured voids in the lawn to fill themselves in naturally and grow additional roots.

Interviews with June Foray & Paul Winchell on the passing of Hal J. Smith
Actor, Hal J. Smith, died on January 28, 1994, and while he was best known as Otis Campbell, the town drunk on The Andy Griffith Show,Smith was also a voice actor.
He voiced Goofy after Pinto Colvig died and provided the voices of Owl and Winnie-the-Pooh in many of the shorts and feature films. He provided the voices for many characters in Davey and Goliath,he did voices for The Flintstones, and he was the voice of Elmer Fudd after Arthur Q. Bryan died. He reprised his role as Owl and voiced Winnie The Pooh in the Disney Channel's Welcome to Pooh Corner television series to replace longtime actor Sterling Holloway. In 1988's, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh TV series, Smith again played Owl and sometimes he alternated voicing Winnie the Pooh with fellow voice actor, Jim Cummings. In 1991, Smith provided the voice of Philippe the horse in Disney's Beauty and the Beast movie.
What follows are interviews with June Foray and Paul Winchell concerning Smith.

Cut! Acting's Middle Class Losing Income.
I was listening to NPR and heard Madeleine Brand interviewing Beth Broderick (Aunt Zelda on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) about how the economy has affected the acting profession. What would you do if you had your pay cut by 4/5ths? To read more or listen to the interview, go here.
Ken Levine has a few comments on actors communicating with writers.
I just finished reading Ken Levine's "Actors: How to give notes to writers" and thought it worthwhile reading, not only for the subjects mentioned, but also for those day-to-day encounters we all experience. Read it here.

And goals are only half met
Much more to be done
We're now halfway through 2011, and so I wanted to take a moment to look at progress against the running goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year:
2. Sub 23-minute 5K -- Nope. 23:55 at HACC Dash is my best work so far this year. Best chance is probably in December at Jingle Bell 5K.
3. Sub 6-minute mile -- Harrisburg Mile is July 20. Haven't done any track work, but can probably at least beat my current 6:44 PR.
Of course, running was part of my larger-scale initiative to "Kick Ass", and become a more assertive, confident person. Most of that's outside the scope of this blog, but there's still quite a lot of room for improvement.
Not only are we halfway through 2011, but this is also my 100th post of the year. Thanks again for reading and commenting. I hope you've had a few laughs and hopefully learned from some of my mistakes. This calls for bonus haiku!
One hundred posts now
Maybe one third are worthwhile
Please keep reading though!

I have been having some issues with creating a VFR video from a sequence of images using ffmpeg.
I have 12 PNG images and their required durations listed in a concat file as:
So basically the timecodes are in a 80,80,90 ms pattern.Code:file '01.png' duration 0.08 file '02.png' duration 0.08 file '03.png' duration 0.09 file '04.png' duration 0.08 file '05.png' duration 0.08 file '06.png' duration 0.09 file '07.png' duration 0.08 file '08.png' duration 0.08 file '09.png' duration 0.09 file '10.png' duration 0.08 file '11.png' duration 0.08 file '12.png' duration 0.09
I use the following command to create the video:
However, when I extract the timecodes from the video using:Code:ffmpeg -f concat -i list.txt -c:v libx265 -crf 24 -an out.mkv
I get this:Code:mkvextract out.mkv timestamps_v2 0:time.txt
As you can see the durations have been changed to:Code:# timestamp format v2 0 80 160 240 320 400 520 600 680 760 840 920 960
Why does this happen and can it be corrected?Code:80 80 80 80 80 120 80 80 80 80 80 40
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 11 of 11
80 millisecs !! You would hardly see the image !!
the duration format appears to be hh:mms.mmm so in your example it becomes 00:00:00.080 etc.
Both formats work. I also tested with 00:00:00.080, it gives the same result. Regarding the small duration, these are actually frames extracted from a gif.
But unless my maths is screwed your total run time would be little over one second.
I suggest you try one of the online tools which will take a gif and convert it to a mp4 file
One such tool:
Methinks you confuse what frame rate is. It's the number of frames played in a second - nothing to do with variable frame rate. And in your sample, which I already stated would run for one second, that is correct.
If you want more fps then increase the numbers for the video to play longer.
From what I understand the mkv container uses timecodes/durations (which says when and how long a frame is to be displayed) which need not be constant across all frames and as such allows one to effectively have a video with variable frame rate. Is this not correct?[/QUOTE]
That is not what variable frame rate typically means.
An encoder creates a video with some frames encoded at, for example, 15 frames per second and others, for example, at 30 frames per second. The actual encoding is variable - could NEVER apply to still images. And, again, absolutely nothing to do with how long those images play for in the video.
No doubt you could use ffmpeg to actually encode at, in it's proper sense, variable frame rate (setting a minimum and maximum) and I would bet my shirt on when you looked at the final video you would effectively still have a constant frame rate.
Any video that has timestamps (timecodes) that has a different display time for 1 or more frames is technically VFR .
"Display time" is how long the frame is shown, or "duration" of the frame

This 2-LP set includes both records
on freshly pressed Merge vinyl; an illuminating selection of
digital outtakes, demos, and b-sides; and a fold-out poster showcasing
an array of Mike Krol ephemera. The first 300 pre-orders in our store
will receive a glossy black & white headshot personally signed by
Mike! In addition, five randomly selected pre-orders will include a
one-of-a-kind drawing of notorious cartoon rocker "Mike Krol" by
illustrator and Mike Krol Friend Club member Ben Levin.
Krol shared his hopes for the bonus tracks:
I had some fun with going through
these and arranged them chronologically in the order in which they were
conceived to (hopefully) show growth, or my thought process getting
figured out over the years. The recordings are all over the place in
style, quality, and length, and I added a few little fun transition
snippets to tie things together. When you listen in one sitting, with
the songs in order, it has the mixtape vibe I was hoping to achieve,
Guided By Voices style. I'm excited for the release of these tracks NOT
because I think they are "good"—or in some cases even listenable—but
rather because I hope that the "kids" who get this record hear them and
think, "Whoa, I can do this!" and then go and start recording and making
their own music. It's all about inspiring the youth, ya know?
Everything on here was recorded
and mixed by myself on either a 4-track cassette recorder or the free
version of GarageBand that comes on an Apple computer. I never learned
how to record properly, never took a single guitar lesson, never thought
in my #wildestdreams that these songs would be heard by anyone other
than my close friends (and definitely not released on THE record label I
so deeply admired during my formative years recording them). But that
never stopped me from having fun and trying to express myself through a
personal creative process. So with that, I hope you guys enjoy them.

Thai is one of my favourite cuisines and I'm always on the lookout for some good Thai food. When I heard about Social Street S2, I was already making plans to check this place out. While the business name doesn't sound very Thai, it refers more to the modern and casual space where people can get together. With an experienced Thai chef taking care of things in the kitchen, Social Street S2 offers a decent selection of entrees, mains and curries.
For the first entree, I had something totally different! Wait for it! Ham and Cheese Spring Rolls! It's not very Thai but it is very delicious. I loved the way the melted cheese oozes from the spring roll pastry. The tomato sauce also compliments the dish well.
Next was the classic Curry Puff. Inside the delicate, flaky pastry were well seasoned vegetables with a mild curry flavour. These were fantastic and I could have had them all day.
The last of the entrees was the Sea Flower. I loved the presentation and it was almost too pretty to eat. Inside the firm dumpling skin was a combination of well seasoned, minced chicken, squid and prawn. The dumplings were swimming in a subtly spicy, red curry sauce which gave it more depth.
Of course, you can't go to a Thai restaurant without having their Pad Thai. Like all good Thai restaurants, I liked the way they separated some of the ingredients. With the bean sprouts, peanuts and chilli to one side, you decide how much or how little you want. The noodles were perfectly cooked with a lovely firm, chewy texture. The prawns were juicy and succulent, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Both the colour and flavour was just right making this dish very well executed.
Next was the Pla Rad Prik which is deep fried white fish in a Social Street sauce. Inside the lightly browned, crisp exterior was soft, delicate white fish. I was actually amazed at the texture and was surprised it was fish. The special Social Street sauce had a subtle spiciness and made the dish more exciting in more ways than one.
Finally, I had the Roast Duck Curry. Filled with generous slices of tender, succulent roast duck, this dish will definitely get your mouth watering. The combination of smokey flavours in the duck with the delicious red curry sauce is something to be experienced. The natural sweetness of the lychee, tomato and pineapple neutralise the subtle spiciness of the curry sauce.
The whole experience was simply amazing! Each and every dish was perfectly executed, and once again, I found myself rolling out of a restaurant. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the service was exceptional. Combine this with the pleasant surrounds and you'll be making plans to come here again. Whether you're coming here for a delicious Thai meal, an early morning coffee or for after work drinks, Social Street S2 has you covered.

Quilting with visitors
During summer months many quilters are receiving guests and our homes became hotels. 2 July Quilt Bar had only two quilters and two of my family members. My mum and my sister are visiting and they joined Quilt Bar at that day. My mum is between Irene and Therese looking at their work. She was impressed with Irene's applique and Therese's wonky quilt.My sister and I are trying to figure out how to sew a patchwork teddy. My sister cut all patterns and I am trying to combine them. It was quite difficult because patterns did not match. Hopefully, one day we will finish the patchwork teddy for my sister's son. After the first experiment I will sew two more patchwork teddies for my daughters.

We sat down with sunshade-expert Peter Jones from Sola-Cure Marine Window Blinds to answer common questions about selecting, sizing and installing Sola-Cure Solar Blinds on your vessel. If you're unsure if you need solar blinds on your vessel, check out our previous article: The Benefits of Using Sunshades on Your Vessel.
What do I need to consider when measuring the window dimensions?
There are many things to think of – shape of window and where you are going to mount them. Check out the questionnaire that will take you step by step to identify the window shape and how to measure.
In addition to the above, consider where the cassette will be installed and check there are no obstructions. Typically these might be a motor wiper box or other navigational equipment. Parallelogram shaped windows offer the biggest challenge. In this case, consider if it is possible to extend the cassette length beyond the top of the window that will generate full coverage of the glass.
What mounting options are available?
There are two mounting options: bulkhead mounting and overhead mounting. Bulkhead mounting requires the use of a supplied 90-degree bracket, while overhead mounting fixes to the ceiling.
What is the difference between constant-tension type & self-locking type?
Constant tension uses a spring mechanism that is always taut. It is therefore less likely to have any waves or ripples in the film. However, the most common method of fixing a constant tension blind in position is to wrap the operating cord around a cleat. Using a cleat is more time consuming than a self-locking blind where a cleat is not necessary. Sometimes, constant tension is preferred but using a cleat is not desired, so the user will install retaining hooks.
The only disadvantage to using retaining hooks is that the location of the hooks determines the position of where the blind is pulled down. The most common application for the retaining hooks is a user that wants the blinds fully up or fully down. Self-locking type allows the user to leave the blinds at several different heights.
Self-locking type is exactly as it sounds, with several different positions that the shade will lock into place. This type does not require cleats or retaining hooks.
Do I need wire guides?
There are several scenarios in which Sola-Cure recommends using wire-guides along the sides of the shade to keep it in place. If the shade is mounted on a slant, it is a good idea to add guides, though if it is a very small window they may not be necessary. Overhead windows always require wire guides. If the ship is often in heavy seas, wire guides are recommended to keep the shades from slapping around. And generally, any shade over 1-meter should use wire guides to ensure the highest-quality installation.
Can Sola-Cure be mounted to overhead windows?
Yes, but they will need wire guides. For overhead windows, Sola-Cure recommends constant-tension type to ensure the film is taut.
Can blinds be mounted below the window?
Yes. Where the window is wider at the bottom than at the top, it may be necessary to mount the cassette below the window and the blind pulled up to achieve full coverage. As with overhead blinds, constant tension is the only suitable mechanism for bottom mounted blinds.
Can I add wire guides later if I determine I need them after installation?
Yes it is possible, though it requires drilling four small holes in the bottom bar (two per wire). The bottom bar is an aluminum extruded profile so drilling is easy and self tapping screws can be used.
What are the minimum & maximum shade sizes?
The cassette or "roll" is limited in width to 2.6-meters (8'5") and the minimum width is 335mm (13.25")
Sola-Cure uses 1.8m wide rolls of film (72"). Where a window exceeds this figure in both width and depth, two pieces of film are joined together. The joint creates a horizontal line where they are joined. Sola-Cure always makes sure the joint is near to the bottom rail and therefore below the eye line.
What is the shade material made out of?
The material is a polymer film.
Are different shade-color options available?
The interior of the shade will appear grey, and the exterior color can be grey, silver or gold.
Are there advantages of one film color over another?
Tests show there are some small differences in some of the data such as visible light transmission and heat reflection. However in each case, the naked eye does not distinguish these differences. Reflective films (Grey/Silver and Grey/Gold) reject more heat than Grey/Grey. Sola-Cure does, however, recommend Grey/Grey film for inland waters. This is to avoid reflection for oncoming vessels.
Is the film fire retardant to IMO standards?
No, as a polymer film, the material does not meet FR standards. However, there is no requirement for FR compliance in the wheelhouse or bridge.
If the windows are in a public area such as on a ferry, Sola-Cure offers a perforated fabric sunscreen that does meet FR regulations and still reduces UV rays by 99%.
How do I clean the shades?
For a quick clean, a feather duster is enough. For a deeper clean, Sola-Cure suggests taking the blind down and placing on a large flat surface, free from debris, and use a lint-free cloth to gently wipe the film.
For even more information, be sure to download the Sola-Cure catalog!

Fair prices, contracts are not binding, and the freedom to make a success of their business by building a sustainable business.
Unique handmade products of great value, and the joy of helping to nurture and elevate the craft of artisans global.
Our mission is very simple – to preserve and promote the arts and crafts of India.
To achieve our mission, we are working from grass root levels. We are working in the following areas:
FAIR PRICES: Since craftsmen always depended wholesalers, prices are dictated by wholesalers depending on supply and demand, it was always very difficult for artisans to get fair price. Now we have brought the artisans in this platform where they can set their own price so you always get fair price and does not depend on wholesalers.
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CRAFTS: Our team in the field continues to help sourcing new machines artisans making them loans available at special prices low thru various Govt. schemes for artisans, who normally have access to the bureaucracy. We update them with the latest international trends so that they can always keep up with the changing fashion.
FOCUS ON CREATIVITY 'AND QUALITY': Arts of India team helps the artisans who deal with various works such as customs clearance, consolidation of shipments, so you can save time and can concentrate on their work is crucial that the creativity and quality .
CHILD LABOUR: The team of Arts of India keep investigating craftsmen to send their children to schools for their better future, instead of engaging in their family business at an early age. When they get enough income from their work, they are sending their children to school.
Scale Up: Sometimes, when customers want to buy in bulk for resale, we help the artisans in the management how they can scale their production.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT: E 'known fact that women are always good at art but because of lack of opportunities, who can not pursue their creativity. Arts of India creats opportunities for women to focus on their creativity and showcase their products to the world through artsofindia.net.
GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS: As artisans have started getting better margins, working conditions are improving level course. Arts of India ensures that working conditions are good craftsmen.
ECO FRIENDLY: We always encourage artisans to use eco friendly materials and keep them informed as they can always produce eco friendly. One of the best examples is many of our craftsmen use vegetable dyes for prints hand-Block that is not only environmentally friendly but also good for human skin.
WORK OF GOOD QUALITY: Since getting the right price, the tend to make good quality. Under the pressure of competition, they tend to make quality products at low cost and sell cheap. It is a win win situation for all. The artisans are paid well, in order to make good quality. On the other hand, customers get good quality and because they buy directly from the artisans, still pay far less than you would buy from the shops. In addition, when the product of the craft is placed on the site, its name is also visible in craft made not prefer low quality articles.
Normal work: when the artisans do not get regular work and when they get insufficient profits, tend to move to large cities for the guaranteed income. Thus Arts of India is trying to promote their products internationally and make them regular job with reasonable price, they prefer to remain in their home town so that the order to preserve the arts and crafts is strongly resolved.
Artisans from all over the world (many living in rural communities) can not afford to sell their work on the international market. Arts of India gives them a free platform to do this, and reach customers on a global scale.
Our experienced team of local art based in each region, providing artisans with all the backup they need. From consulting product development, quality control support, we are there to make their listing process as smooth as possible.
If you're like us, you care who you are buying from, and that you are supporting. This is why we go out of our way to capture the real story craft. On each product page you will find a detailed portrait and biography of each artist.
We operate in a fully transparent system where craftsmen have all the control. They are free to raise or lower their prices, they can withdraw their products at any time, and can even put their items for sale.
We offer 0% interest loans to craftsmen who want to expand their business and bring in more income for their larger communities.
In a world where there are so many products mass produced, no record of who made them, and under what conditions, Arts of India gives you the opportunity to say no to sweat shops and child labor, and to vote with the its portfolio for a happier world.
Teams of local supply in each region have the task of finding the traditions of art more unique and valuable around. We are looking for originality, quality workmanship, and pieces that we know our customers will appreciate.
In the past, artists were forced to abandon their art in favor of a more lucrative career. Arts of India allows them to carry on with their job, as there is now a platform from which you can manage a creative business sustainable.
We are obsessed with every artistic tradition out there, and we want to teach you about them too! Through our guardians of the page Art, we hope to promote awareness of the traditions endangered, and provide a place where you can direct your support.

Government Transparency Report #1 - November 20195 November, 2019
Esteemed residents of Forest:
It is hard for me to believe, but it has already been a month since I took office as your Forest Keeper!
In accordance with our Constitutional requirement to act in an open manner, and with my campaign promise to keep you informed about our government activities, I am pleased to offer
Government Transparency Report #1
Even with the first week of the month being taken up just getting the wheels of government turning again, we've taken several important steps, and have engaged in multiple public steps for the promotion of Forest's ideals
1) First off, the big one everybody knows about - Z-Day.
This year, we came in globally 4th place for most survivors - one position higher than we did last year! Our 2.90 trillion living citizens put us behind only two huge Pacific feeder regions and one other competitor. Even better, when it comes to most survivors and no zombies, we placed 2nd globally - our all time best! To top it all off, we had zero dead as well. We truly saved the life of every single Forest citizen. Great work, everybody! Big thanks to coordinators like Mount Seymour and Mozworld, and the endless legions of Lord Dominator, helping get us through this! I saw some good border policing by Ziotah and Riverside and The Cypher Nine, and Myordas got the final cure in to make us 100% clean. Thanks as well to Raccoon Creek for the historical stats, and to anybody I missed! It took the combined efforts of every citizen to make it happen.
2) Secondly, we had our first Environmental Action Item of the new term - Forest's Meat-Consciousness Month.
I saw some great conversation on the RMB, as well as posting of info-graphics and discussion of environmental impact. I know for my own part, as a dedicated carnivore, it was challenging for me to look at that data and accept the unsustainable nature of some aspects of my diet. I definitely made some shopping decisions with the information provided here in mind! I hope it was similarly educational for you all, and that we will continue to have some great discussions in the future. Don't forget to let Turbeaux know if you have suggestions for future Environmental Action Item topics!
3) With our new mapper taking office, the old Forest map has had some clean-up done, and we've got a shiny new climate map.
Be sure to check them out and verify that everything is as you like! Octopus Islands is quite responsive, so be sure to reach out if you have questions. Also, rumors abound that our exploring expeditions have discovered a large atoll or island continent ripe for exploration. Keep an eye out soon, as there may be some prime new territory to move or expand in to, should you so choose.
4) Finally, a big one that hasn't quite reached the public yet... a draft Constitutional amendment.
Article 6 of the Constitution, covering the handling of embassies, is a bear to work with. Some improvements were achieved with a previous amendment process, but the blend of old and new language remained difficult to follow, there were some obsolete processes that required outlandish efforts by our officers, and it is lacking mechanisms to deal with things like embassy continuation for successor regions - something multiple of our allies have turned to in recent months! With tremendous assistance from Ruinenlust, I have just forwarded to the officers a draft for a complete top-to-bottom overhaul of Article 6, maintaining the full intent and force of our existing text, but with much clearer language, straightforward procedures, and policies to cover what was missing. When their feedback has been received, I will post it for public commentary and eventual submission to Errinundera for approval, and then to a public vote.
If you have any thoughts, questions, concerns, or ideas for Forest, or for me as your Forest Keeper, please do not hesitate to reach out and let me know! I will endeavor to respond to all questions as quickly as I am reasonably able, and to present suggestions and ideas to the relevant officers.
Thank you for the honor of serving in this position - I look forward to the coming months together!
Verdant Haven
Forest Keeper

Savagery and Evil Sneers from BaneLegions Newest Characters
August 3, 2012 by brennon
BaneLegion from Maelstrom Games has another pair of awesome looking miniatures arriving soon. Check out the newest additions to the range below in all their savage glory...
"The Gabrax, as a whole, are a race that crave power and strength as none other and often seem foolhardy in their hunt for more weapons, for more plunder, for more slaughter in an ever-increasing cycle of ferocity and brutality in Baalor's name. For them, the means are an end in itself, and yet there are even Gabrax in awe of Chaagmuth the Jaw-Taker's savage and relentless pursuit of might – and, of course, his legendary barbarity, evidenced by the jaw-trophies and the skull-prizes – and thus are drawn to him as moths are to flame, for even in the shadow of power there is a reflection of it. Thus it is that Chaagmuth's warband grows further even as his strength grows, and in his warband and indeed in many others his demands are inviolate. Even so, Chaagmuth knows that the future is finite; for did he not take the jaws of his ancestor, his sire, in his quest for power? Such consciousness is perhaps his greatest strength, and his ruthless crushing of any kin-strife – at least for now – ensures that Chaagmuth's enemies are yet without."
The human war-hosts of the Eye in the Ice are comprised, so it is said by those that oppose them, of cruel and depraved murderers, killers and slaughterers of wives and babies with little sympathy nor mercy for their fellow men, but none are as callous or as brutal as Tundaar. His murderous legend – grown through many winters of butchery and malefaction amongst the armies that assault the weakling kingdoms to the south and the east – has become self-fulfilling, a driver in itself to ever-greater heights of cruelty and barbarity in pursuit of the infamy that the title of Skull-Bearer brings, an infamy matched only by the strength that Baalor himself gives him. Few amongst the warriors of Baalor care much for his company but his reputation brings its own reward, for they and the myriad degenerate races of the Eye flock to his standard in uncountable numbers, assured of fame and glory – and perhaps, more importantly, greater strength and riches – by simple association and the chance to revel in the excesses that Tundaar promises: an association that even those warriors reckoned above Tundaar's primacy crave.
So what do you reckon to this pair? I have included some of their fluff above which should help you make some decisions on them, since after all background trumps all right?
I think of the two, Tundaar is my favourite, simply for the amount of detail they have worked onto him.
Let me know your thoughts?
