It's hard to believe that 2019 is here! It seems like it was just last week that we were celebrating the 20th running of the Flying Pig weekend, and here we are well under way with planning for the 21st edition of the Pig.
We want to take a moment to thank all of you for making 2018 such a success. From the start of our TQL Beer Series at the Bockfest 5K, through Flying Pig weekend powered by P&G, to the Queen Bee Half Marathon and 4 Miler empowered by P&G and Kroger, every event was a sellout. And it was a year of milestones for each, as the TQL Beer Series celebrated its "Six Pack" sixth anniversary, the Flying Pig it's 20th and the Queen Bee's 5th year running. Whether it was your first time at one of our events, or if you're a Flying Pig "Streaker" completing all 20 marathons, we thank you for participating and hope you enjoyed it.
Because of you, we were able again this year to help charities and nonprofits raise more than $1 million for their causes. With more than 300 charity partners for Flying Pig weekend alone, and as a 501(c)(3) organization ourselves, we are proud to partner with these groups in their fundraising efforts.
We also want to thank our sponsors, including our presenting sponsors, P&G, Asics, Paycor and Kroger. Without your help, we couldn't put on these world-class events throughout the year, and we value and appreciate your partnerships.
And, without our volunteers we would literally be lost, we thank them for devoting their time answering questions, giving directions, cleaning up the course and so much more. Did you know that it takes more than 8,000 volunteers over Flying Pig weekend to get the Pig running? Many of those volunteers return for the Beer Series and Queen Bee as well. Your dedication is valued by our staff, and by our participants as well!
Finally, we thank all the first responders, including police and medical personnel, for keeping us safe during our events. Because we go through two states and six different municipalities and villages, it takes a lot of cooperation among the various departments for everything to go smoothly. Each year we are proud to work alongside these officials and we sincerely thank them for their help.
Yes, 2018 was a year to celebrate, but we think 2019 will be a special year as well! We hope you will join us for our events, starting with the Bockfest 5K on Saturday, March 2 and stay with us through the Queen Bee on Saturday, October 12. We at the Flying Pig wish you a Happy New Year!

Executive Director

It is over 25 years since the Cooke family originated the idea of the 'Christmas Shoebox', asking children in the UK to fill shoeboxes with stocking fillers for Romanian orphans. In 2015, we celebrated the 25th Anniversary and returned to Cluj-Napoca, Romania to re-visit Dave's original partner from 1990 Liviu Balas, and brought shoeboxes to the marginalised communities there. The current need is still extraordinary and the power of the shoebox has never faded.
Please be a part of this ongoing story that is continuing to impact and change lives by donating a shoebox to this year's appeal!
Donate a shoebox today by following our step by step guide
Your shoebox will be given to a vulnerable child, or family, through schools, nurseries, hospitals and orphanages. Our aim is that each box is given in relationship with the local community as part of a long-term commitment to these children.

From John Adams to Thomas Digges, 28 June 1780
To Thomas Digges
24 [] June 1780 1
Yours of 26 and 29 Ultimo I have received and another with the Court Gazette with the Capitulation of Charlestown and also that of 8th. instant.2 I have also received the Box of Books, and all the Bundles of Newspapers and Pamphlets. I thank you most Sincerely for your Care. I beg you Pardon, sir, for sending you, half of the Report of the Committee.3 I thought it entire when I sent it. It is now printed, in the Papers, so that there is no Necessity of sending another if I had it—but I have none left.
The Pamphlets have been a Feast to me. But what can be said of those written by—Such a Mass of Falsehood! The cool Thoughts on the Consequences of American Independence, should have been intituled a Demonstration that it is the Interest and Duty of America to support her Independence at all Events: and that it is equally the Interest and Duty of all the rest of Europe to support her in it.4 It Seems as if Providence intended to give success enough to lead on the English Nation to their final and total destruction. I am sorry for it. I wish it not. But it must come if they pursue this War much farther. The Conquest of Charlestown will only arouse America to double Exertion and fourfold Indignation. The English Nation knows not the People they have to do with and that has been the fatal Course of their Misconduct from first to last.
Governor Pownal knows them altho he dares not say in Parliament what he knows. It is the Deuce of the Destinies that the southern Parts of the Continent, should be brought to as much Experience in War as the northern. This will remove the only Cause of Jealousy and Strengthen the Union, beyond a Possibility of Breaking it.
It will make them taste equally too the bitter Cup of British Inhumanity. In short the English So far from gaining any Thing by the Acquisition of Charlestown, will only double their Expense. Their army will moulder away. And they will be in danger of loosing both that and New York. Those who imagine that this will discourage any Body in America, have no Idea of that People.
The blubbering Babies in Europe, who give up all for lost, upon every Disaster, are no Americans. The last are Men. Yours with great regard. &c.
LbC (Adams Papers;) directed to: "W. S. Church."
1. In the Letterbook, JA left this letter undated. The date of 24 June was supplied by John Thaxter, probably because this letter followed a series of letters dated the 24th. It, however, was probably written on 28 June, because JA's endorsement on Digges' letter of 8 June indicates that he replied on the 28th and this letter is clearly an answer to the letter of the 8th (from Digges, 8 June, descriptive note, above).
2. Digges' letter of 29 May has not been found. Neither has that which enclosed the "Court Gazette," but it was probably dated on or about 15 June, the date of the London Gazette carrying news of Charleston's surrender.

Until you do stupid stuff, like shagging in a taxi, going naked on the beach, walking down the road pissed and gobbing off at people. Once you have successfully attracted their attention then they'll throw everything in the book at you. Keep your head down you will not have any problems, it's not difficult.

Good play by Lutz going back on a laser shot by Coghlin
Baez messed that one up, but showed the big arm to still get Ludwick. Let's make them pay for the mistake though.

5th string 2nd baseman....has a hit

Bad Stucco
Mr Bad Stucco himself, Carl Brown, is one of the most prolific
about stucco on the web.
Following is some of the best messages I have received from Carl.
The links and pictures are representative of some of the awful work the
building and remodeling industry produces every day.
Wood trim had no moisture barrier under it! There were three
windows on three
different floors stacked up ! The wood rot guy put on new wood and left!:
These pix are over 1 megabyte so you may not want to download them
if you don't have broadband. I didn't edit the pictures because I thought the detail
was important. Not how the vertical expansion joint funnels water into the windows:

eBook affiliate programs are becoming more and more popular as ebooks continue to grow in popularity. There are a number of reasons that eBooks are so popular, one big reason being that they are?much cheaper to produce. Think of all the money that is saved on printing costs, publishing costs, and more.??In addition to how much?money is saved,?the amount of time it takes to get an ebook published can also be substantially less. For anyone that has ever tried to get a book published you know that the process is exhausting and time consuming. It often takes months after submitting a manuscript for consideration before you receive any kind of response. Once/if your book is accepted and published you may have a hard time getting fair royalties and may lose a lot of control over your book.
eBooks can potentially be a lot easier to get published and provide you with more control over where and how it is marketed. eBooks also have a much longer "shelf-life" than traditional printed books. A printed book can have as little as a 2?month shelf life. Choosing to have your book published as an ebook?may also make it a lot easier to get a book printed that does not fall into a typical genre, this can be very difficult when it comes to printed books. Whatever the reasoning, it is obvious that ebooks are here to stay so let's take a look at the benefits of participating in an ebook affiliate program and how it can help you make money online.
There are many options for making money online, participating in affiliate programs is one of the easiest and most popular methods. Joining an affiliate program allows you to promote the product or service that someone else has already developed and is selling. Typically, joining an affiliate program is free and every person that you refer, that makes a purchase, results in money in your pocket. It is really that simple. Choosing to join an affiliate program for ebooks can be a particularly profitable endeavor because ebooks are much cheaper to produce and so many people are buying them. Ebooks rely largely on referral marketing because they don't use the traditional business marketing methods that?are used for printed books.
Successful eBook Affiliate Programs
There are a number of successful ebook affiliate programs and a number of ways to be successful with an ebook affiliate program. First, you may choose to find one very successful ebook, perhaps some kind of tutorial or marketing guide, something that is very popular, very well written, and has a lot of real value. Then make sure you are marketing it only in very high traffic areas that are visited by the people in need of the exact type of information you are offering them. Of course, this is true of any marketing. Being able to put the product that people are looking for directly in their path is always the most successful type of marketing. This can be a lot harder in an online world than in person, but given the right research and knowledge, it has the potential to be a very successful endeavor.
A second option is to join an ebook affiliate program in which you simply refer people to a retailer of ebooks. In this case your target market is simply anyone looking for an ebook. Your marketing can be much broader with this type of ebook affiliate program because instead of trying to find the people that are looking for one particular subject you can target anyone that uses ebooks and direct them to the ebook retailer where they can then search for the topic they are interested?in.

The Sting girls faced Lakeview to kick off the homecoming week of games. Starting off, both teams were scoring quick kills, there wasn't much rallying. YME got a small lead 12-7 before a timeout. YME kept up momentum performed solid defense, getting up to 17-8 before Lakeview called another timeout. Lily Jaenisch took over serving, she got an ace and set the Sting up well to get to 24 points with spikes from Mackenzie Dyrdahl, Anayansi Flores, and Meeghen Dahlager. One serve went out, but the Laker's return hit went out to give YME the set 25-12.
The second set started with a long rally. Both teams had members dive flat to save the ball, and the rally ended with Hinz tipping it to an open spot in the center of the opponent's court. Dahlager and Dyrdahl had consecutive backwards hits to save a wild hit. The score was ties 6-6 before the Sting got a run of kills in a row. Their solid offense got them up 17-8. Lily Jaenisch got another ace, her served crawled over the net and dropped. A few communication errors let the Lakers get some points and narrow the gap 22-19.
After a brief timeout, YME refocused. Jadyn Sakry and Flores blocked, and Flores had the set winning block 25-21.
In the third set, between Dahlager's Kills and Lily Jaenisch's serving, the Sting got on a rally, up 10-3. Another bundle of bad hits got the Lakers some points 10-8, until Dahlager set it up for Dyrdahl to spike and break the rotation. YME scored but also messed up several spikes, tieing the game again at 18-18. The teams went back and forth, Dahlager got an ace and a spike that bounced out from a girl's arms. 10 had the winning block 25-21.
Coach Fadness reported, "We've picked up the tempo in practices. We went back to the drawing board and have been being very disciplined. It took all of us to do so and we made a commitment to each other and it shows. Tonight was drastically different than Thursday last week."
"We had a little hesitation after some errors, but we were able to get past that."
"Lily Jaenisch has been doing a great job stepping up with serving, something we were having some troubles with. She got us on a five point run and a six point run, which is exactly what we asked her to do." "It's fun to see the sweep on homecoming week. The student section has been great."

Eric Sheffer Stevens on his role on "As the World Turns"
By Greg Hernandez
Today is the day AfterElton.com posts its remarkable Gays of Our Lives column which I always read from beginning to end. I love the recaps, previews and clips from all the soaps with gay characters – it's just sad that most of them air in other countries!
But As the World Turns is an American show and spiced up its stale Luke and Noah storyline with the addition of the sexy and snarky Dr. Reid Oliver played so brilliantly by Eric Sheffer Stevens.
Here is a portion of a new interview with the actor who has made the show fun to watch again:
AE: I know you haven't been with the show that long, but it is ending. How do you feel about that?
ESS: Well, I got very attached to it very quickly. And I'm sort of sentimental anyway so it's easy for me to get upset about something like that, the fact that it's been around for 54 years. It's very sad to me that it and Guiding Light, which started as a radio show, are going to be gone. It's sad to lose that kind of history.

February 13th, 1985 shall be remembered as a truly beautiful day in the neighborhood, for that is the date on which Fred Rogers learned to breakdance (sort of).
In no time at all, 12-year-old instructor Jermaine Vaughn had Mr. Rogers waving, moonwalking and learning how to press play on a boom box so he could demonstrate some "very fancy things" regarding the first pillar of hip hop. ("I'd never be able to do that," his pupil says admiringly, and presumably truthfully.)
The television icon's legendary sincerity is on display throughout, even in this pirated version, which swaps out the wimpy original track in favor of NWA's 1989 "Fuck Tha Police," a move that would've pleased Eddy Murphy's Mr. Robinson.
If that medicine's too bitter for you to choke down, soothe yourself with an animated GIF.

Hello everyone!
Recently, I sent away about 4 hours of old 8mm home video footage to a company called Memorable to get digitized. They did an absolutely fantastic job transferring and restoring the 8mm film, it looks incredible (it's all home movies from the 1950s through the 1970s). However, it's all out of order (i.e. my Dad, who appears in the videos, will be 3 years old one minute, and then it'll skip ahead to when he's like 17).
Ideally, I'd like to cut up these 4 hours of video and organize the smaller videos into separate folders on my hard drive. This way I'd be able to organize all the videos chronologically for a much better viewing experience.
In order to do this, I'm looking for a program (free or paid, I don't care as long as it works) that will allow me to cut/trim these videos without them being re-encoded. I don't want to lose any quality or alter the videos in any way; I just want to cut/trim them. I also want to be able to cut/trim the videos at exact, precise locations (i.e. I don't want any of the previous or next "scenes" to appear at the beginning or the end of the current "scene," if that makes sense).
They are all mp4 files, and they are 16 frames per second.
I have read multiple posts on this message board about this topic, but the posts are all fairly dated and I thought I'd re-post the topic here in case anything has changed in the last few years. I did try multiple suggestions that were given on this message board in other posts, but I still haven't found a program I'm fully happy with. If anyone has any suggestions whatsoever, I would sincerely appreciate it!
For now, here are my results with the programs I've tried so far:
#1) Smart Cutter Ps/Ts: Fairly impressive. I tested this out and compared it in Sony Vegas side by side to the original video. As far as I can tell, it is the exact quality of the original mp4 file. However, it did cut out 2 frames early initially (meaning there should have been 2 more frames at the end of the video). Maybe this is because it has to transcode the first few and last few frames of the video? (Not sure how it works?) Very easy to use though. Other than that, it's pretty decent! (A top option so far).
Additionally, in doing another test, while most of the video matches up with the original mp4 video in Sony Vegas, the last 30 frames (exactly 30 - I counted) gets slightly out of sync with the original video. Again, maybe because it has to re-encode a little bit in order to work properly? This results in the new video being 5 total frames shorter than the original one.
#2) Boilsoft: Also very impressive - exact quality of the original. And it literally allows you to cut the file by the millisecond. The only problem (and pain in the neck) is it doesn't allow you to scrub any more than by 1 second - yikes! So although you can specify the exact frame to the millisecond, it kind of becomes a guessing game. So it takes a long time to try to fix it. If anyone knows any way to make this program be more precise, it'd definitely be my top option.
#3) LosslessCut: Great program, and I've used it for other mp4 files and it's worked absolutely flawlessly - however, it's not very accurate with these mp4 files for whatever reason. I'll tell it to cut the video at a certain point, and it'll cut it like 2 seconds ahead of when I tell it to (so I end up getting 2 seconds of another "scene" at the beginning of each clip, which I really want to avoid). It's a pain in the neck to try to adjust - so I'd prefer not to use this.
#4) VideoReDo TV Suite (have to purchase to use): Initially when I tried it out, the finished product was full of errors and glitches. But this happened when it was set to "Tools," "Options," "Editing Accuracy: Frame Accurate," and I saved the video as an H.264 MP4. Then, I changed it to "Editing Accuracy: GOP Accurate," and I saved it as "H.264 MP4." This worked fairly well, but not perfect. For whatever reason, it started the video 4 frames before I told it to (so it starts a little earlier than it should have). Also, the first 12 frames are out of sync with the original MP4 file - it must have recoded the start point and so it's a little out of sync (barely, but noticeably in Vegas). This definitely is not noticeable when watching the video in Windows Media Player, so this isn't a huge deal. Possibly an option.
#5) Cut Assistant: This looks like it could be promising, but in all honesty, I couldn't figure out how to save the file after setting save points!
#6) SolveigMM Video Splitter: This also looks so promising and so good, but it IMMEDIATELY hangs up as soon as I import my mp4 file into it, lol. I tried it like 5 times and it just hangs up! It could be because it's the demo mode.
#7) My MP4Box GUI: Interesting program! Technically speaking, this worked flawlessly and was easy to use. However, very limited options - you don't scrub through and select the frame you want to split. Instead, you tell it the exact second you want it to split the video by. Because of this, it's not precise at all - you only get to break it down by seconds, so this would be very messy.
Other options I tried but decided not to use:
Avidemux: Useless, doesn't even recognize my mp4 file.
H264TS_Cutter: Doesn't work on mp4 files, I tried it and no luck!
MeGUI: Way too confusing and over my head, haha.
That's all I've tried so far. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'm looking for a quick, easy, and most of all accurate and precise program that can accomplish my goal (seems like it should be so easy!).
Thanks so much for the help!

Mp4 is a container format so you have one of several video and audio codecs.
First I suggest you post a mediainfo (text mode) report of one of these mp4s.
16fps is not standard for digital video although it will match the original 8 mm film. Absolute trimming on the frame you see is not achieveable since a video is made up of a series of different frames (I,B,P). Only I frames are complete frames and the distance between such frames varies according to the video codec - they could be as much as 40+ frames.
The requested report will assist in achieving your goal but if certain programs can not even load them to get trimmed video without quality loss and, equally important, no re-encoding maybe difficult without more low-level tools such as ffmpeg
It's very unusual that VideoReDo is not working correctly. Perhaps it has to do with your frame rate. Do post a MediaInfo report as DB83 suggested. Also try TMPGenc Smart Renderer.
It's interesting that you mentioned that "absolute trimming on the frame you see is not achieveable since a video is made up of a series of different frames (I,B,P)." Does this mean that the description of the program I've been using for lossless trimming of other files (LosslessCut) is essentially inaccurate? Because the description of this program seems to say that it never encodes whatsoever, and I've been able to cut other video files literally wherever I want with LosslessCut. So I wonder if LosslessCut does do some re-encoding at the start and end points of each cut (although I should mention the files I've been using were captured via StreamCatcher software using a GOP of "1" - these are completely different files from the ones I'm trying to cut/trim now).
Here's the description of LosslessCut: "LosslessCut is a cross platform GUI tool for lossless trimming / cutting of videos using ffmpeg and electron. Great for rough processing of large video files taken from a video camera, drone, etc. Lets you quickly get rid of the useless parts. It doesn't do any decoding / encoding and is therefore very fast and has no quality loss. Also allows for taking JPEG snapshots of the video at the selected time" (taken from https://www.videohelp.com/software/LosslessCut)
And below is the report - thank you very much for your help, I sincerely appreciate it!!

TMPGEnc Smart Renderer. But I just downloaded the Trial Version now, and I can't believe it, but it works flawlessly for my mp4 files!!! Totally hassle-free. The trimmed video looks exactly like the original mp4 file when comparing it in Sony Vegas, and no frames are dropped or out of sync with the original footage. It's literally perfect! I am pretty positive I'm going to go ahead and purchase this program, though I'm going to do a little more testing just in case. Thank you so much for recommending it, I think it's exactly what I was looking for!!
As a back-up - it sounds like you're saying VideoReDo is a pretty reliable and trustworthy program, correct? If I run into any problems with TMPGEnc, I'll give it another look in case I did something wrong.
As for the MediaInfo report for one of my clips, I just posted it above. Thank you so much once again for your help, you are a life saver!! (Or at least a "wife saver" - my wife has been yelling at me lately because I've been staying up all hours of the night looking for a program that works, haha)
As a follow-up question - even though I've experienced no problem to my knowledge with LosslessCut for my other video files, would you recommend I use TMPGEnc for the other files anyway? (I'm a little nervous now that LosslessCut is doing something behind the scenes I'm not aware of - now I'm distrusting it, haha). Thanks so much again!!
Yes, that is the report. If the program as suggested has done what you ask then you have won. Of course you can prepare another mediainfo report of the new video and compare it to the old (always keep the old as well) to see if there are any differences. With the description of the working of that program I do suspect that it is, as is many programs, a front-end for ffmpeg and that being so you could learn to use that - it is command line with a host of switches but a simple trim should not involve that many - and save yourself a few bucks.
Maybe I did not make myself clear but it is frame-accurate trimming that is the issue and not an actual non-reencode. If you trim on any frame that is not an I-frame you either re-encode the whole video or have incomplete detail until the decoder finds the next I-frame.
What is more concerning for me is what you can now do with these mp4's. Have you tried playing them through a Blu-ray player on a usb stick etc. or direct to a tv also with a usb ?
If it does not play due to that quirky frame-rate and you want to view them on something other than a PC you would have to change the frame rate and re-encode. And despite the frame size being full HD it has a very low bitrate which could also be an issue come re-encoding.
Tmpgenc smart renderer can ; but it's a newer, different product than older tmpgenc software that some people are familiar with. It's in the same category of videoredo, solviegmm video splitter
@Capt - It's not quite "literally perfect", because that source file uses long GOP . Tmpgenc will re-encode the frames around the cutsite if your cuts are not on IDR boundaries. Looking at the mediainfo settings, this can be anywhere from 0-249 frames re-encoded for each cut (the GOP length max is 250 if the metadata is correct). Additionally, "crf24" using x264 is not going to be fantastic quality. It's a lower quality trade off preferring lower filesize.
This is one of the other reasons people want a higher quality version like prores for film transfers . Prores is all I-frame and you can cut on any frame without re-encoding. Each frame is individually encoded . Most formats using MP4 container will be long GOP (temporal compression, where some of the frames rely on data from adjacent frames, they are not individually encoded), and you will have to re-encode at least some of the frames if your cuts are not on GOP boundaries. A potential problem is introducing a type of flicker, because the re-encoded frames typically have less grain, less detail, and are lower quality. The lower the quality of the source - actually the less of an issue this becomes.
Glad it's working for you.
Sounds like you're working in fairly large chunks, so the GOP-level re-encoding should not be a huge pain. TMPGenc's rendering engine is pretty good and for normal viewing fairly transparent (though statements like that can easily start an argument.)
The information added by DB83 and poisondeathray is, as always, excellent.
Tried it... Not bad as usage goes but couldn't quickly find how to change the output folder. Also it is NEAR frame accurate as shown below according to FFPROBE

Final frames Before and after cut in original
Cut point Capital in Red, End frame achievement in Capital
It stopped on the frame that FFMpeg would stop on (2nd frame after request that is not a 'B' Frame, - > b<P>P or <B>P) at least it should not be a problem joininf to other segments
Don't know why the timings are only shown as 4 decimal places for PTS but no glitches at the end as many have.
Notice also the final cut dframe is listed as 9765, The same as the original frame number aty that time.
In reality the best you can hope for with FFMPEG is to stop the next 'P' frame after cutting at a 'B' frame, or a second 'P' frame after a 'P' cut point so this is pretty CLOSE to Frame accurate since No program I know of cuts at a 'B' frame without encoding or experiencing a glitch.

U.S. Route 169 (US 169) currently runs for 966 miles (1,555 km) from the city of Virginia, Minnesota to Tulsa, Oklahoma at Memorial Drive.
U.S. Highway 169 is a major south–north highway spanning 75.1 miles (120.9 km) in Oklahoma. The southern terminus for US-169 is Memorial Drive. The highway connects Tulsa, Oklahoma to the south with the Kansas state border to the north at South Coffeyville, Oklahoma. US-169 travels through Tulsa, Rogers, and Nowata counties.
US-169 has undergone several widening projects that have brought US-169 to freeway and expressway standards. The highway is two lanes between Talala, Oklahoma and South Coffeyville except for a short four lane portion north of Nowata, Oklahoma and ending at State Highway 28.
An Alternate US-169 passes through Nowata following the original path of US-169. The alternate route begins at the intersection of Choctaw Avenue and reconnects with US-169 south of Nowata at its intersection with Maple Street.
K-16 is a state highway in Kansas. It starts at a junction with US 77 just north of Randolph and ends in Tonganoxie with US 24 and US 40.
K-16 begins north of Randolph on US 77 and crosses Tuttle Creek Lake. Near the town of Blaine, K-16 crosses The Oregon Trail. K-16 continues through Holton until turning south. K-116 continues to head eastward through Larkinburg and Arrington until ending at Cummings in Atchison County.
K-16 continues through Valley Falls, crossing the Delaware River until meeting with US 59. K-16 then runs concurrent with US 59 through Oskaloosa until heading east again through McLouth and winding through Leavenworth County until coming to an end at an intersection with US 24 and US 40 in Tonganoxie.
Between 1926 and 1936, K-16 was located in Atchison County and Doniphan County, starting at US 73 in Atchison and ending at US 36 in Troy.
A southern terminus was located in Montgomery County and Neosho County starting in Chanute and ending at the Oklahoma state line in Coffeyville.
If you shed blood with me to this point, you deserve an explanation
For all the hell you've endured, while helping me reach my destination
And this effort to bless the nation
I've might had did more harm than good
But I've always showed you heart, this is just my but apart from would
Man I love the darkest hood
But also the brightest suburb
To think I would just despise the folks because I'm broke and white it's absurd
I'm told be tight you get hurt, but I don't hear my spinal spinning
Yeah we found some distribution, but bet the crying is just beginning
Cause these bright nights, could lead to dark days and vice versa
Even if Greg Street don't play, I guarantee you a nice purchase
Frankly, I'm quite certain I'm the livest fucker out there
I'm making love to the truth, inside that vocal booth without care
I won't even talk about stare
From angry illogic rappers
Cause every time they get confronted, they'll give you head than dap ya
This one don't really need a hook, but Shannon said it'll be a single
So I devote this to my life, so much more than a catch of a jiggle
Dark days, bright nights
For that outside in the night, you know what Bubba's life is like
Bright nights, dark days
For them broads that truly love me and hate to see me live this way
Dark days, bright nights
For when they say you can't live, fuck them, do it just out of spite
Bright nights, dark days
For every person without a voice that got something they need to say
See it's apparent that you know, there's a lot of folks that love Bubba
Not cause of any rap I wrote, they see something above gutter
Though, my pockets don't reflex that
It's my vision, and they respect that
Love comes in a form of a various drug, and I can't neglect that
So me and my folks get fucked up like six nights out of seven
That's the bright light of our lives
Like God's shinning light right out of Heaven
But at the conclusion of every session
I wish that Dark Day to expose
The plight of my situation, no blow, no dough for big shows
But still they see we this close from seeing the promise land
So that leads to another bright night, when all of us is college grand
Being loved by the moms and dads
Which some of us wasn't blessed with
You think we all born with two lovin' parents and a treasure chest
Shit, I was fortunate to be loved, by my paternal units
I'm gonna make their son a winner, fuck how bad it'll hurt I'm doing it
Even if I was to ruin it
Never with me and my heart part ways
We developed too strong of a bond, turning bright nights into dark days
Yeah it's true, I also do get praise from the other side of the tracks
You know, that dark days part of town, when they intentionally hide the blacks
Ain't got no reply to that, I said I'm sorry if I'm to blame
I tried like hell to sooth your soul by planting the facts inside your brain
I never once lied to the game, the acceptance of not one black dude
It's just Bubba that country fucker smoking swages and eating snack foods
Now every time they ask you, "why you live the way you choose too?"
Say cause Bubba set you right, the only one they loved, knew you
That leaves you with no excuse to settle with what they offer
He try to pay you the slave wagers, play that role, and tell them naw, sir
I'll probably won't even falter if you dismiss me as the demon
It is true, I am not you, my skin's the tone of piss and seamen
But if we fight this evening, I assure you, we'll both bleed red
And it'll take your whole slum and all your guns to leave me dead
Plus all that blood we shed what do nothin' but server their purpose

SPRINGFIELD Police said Saturday that they have located the handgun they believe was used in the murder of 63-year-old Gregory Alan Clark by his son, 28-year-old Adam Christopher Clark.
Members of the Lane County Sheriff�s Office search and rescue team assisted Springfield police in searching for the weapon Saturday morning in the vicinity of the Clarks� home on Edgemont Way near Kelly Butte. After about a 30-minute search, a weapon was found in some brush near the scene of the crime.
Springfield police did not identify the type of handgun, and declined to say whether it belonged to Gregory Clark or Adam Clark. The weapon found is consistent with a description provided by Gregory Clark before he died, said Springfield Sgt. David Lewis.
Springfield police thanked volunteers who assisted in the search, and Edgemont Way neighbors for their cooperation as police searched their yards.
Gregory Clark was shot several times Tuesday evening at the family�s two-story home. He was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, where he died Wednesday morning.
Police conducted a manhunt in the neighborhood and found Adam Clark about 90 minutes later.
Police revised the charges against Clark, from attempted murder and assault to murder, after his father�s death.
Court records show the dispute wasn�t the first time Gregory Clark and his son, who lived at his parents� home, had had problems. In 2001, Gregory Clark filed a restraining order against his son for alleged elder abuse.
The family moved to the Kelly Butte area in 2003.
The murder is the first this year in Springfield.

Flexible thinking
Human brains have unsuspected oxygen reserves, say US researchers. These enable our brains to cope with arduous tasks without having to rely on boosting the blood supply to the brain.
Until now it was thought that no oxygen is stored in brain cells, say the researchers. Whenever part of the brain is active, blood flow to that region increases, and oxygen use was assumed to be the trigger.
"It is just accepted," says Mark Mintun of the Washington University School of Medicine.
However, Rob Turner, at the Functional Imaging Laboratory at University College London, says other researchers have already realised that levels of oxygen in brain tissue are not zero. "This is no more than another experimental repetition of something that has been current for around two years," he says.
Mintun insists the work is new. "People were uncomfortable with the model, but we're the first to take it on directly and say 'here's human evidence that the model is not exactly right," he says.
Imaging which parts of the brain are active by measuring blood flow is the basis of a technique called positron emission tomography (PET).
Mintun and his colleagues used PET to image the brains of volunteers carrying out a simple task, both in normal conditions, and with slightly reduced oxygen. "It was like we instantly transported them to 14,000 feet," says Mintun. They expected to see a much larger increase in blood flow when oxygen was scarce, but there was no change.
The only way to explain the results was if there was a reserve of oxygen in the brain that cells could use straight away, without having to rely on blood to bring it. "The brain does have increased blood flow, but it must not be for delivering oxygen," says Mintun. "We need to look elsewhere for the trigger."
But he says that PET imaging is still a valid technique, because even if oxygen use is not causing the surge of extra blood, the trigger still seems to be linked to brain activity. "Blood flow is telling us something about brain activation maybe even more directly than we thought," he says.
In other work, so far unpublished, Mintun and his colleagues ran mathematical models using data from rats' brains. They found that rats do not have the same oxygen stores that people do. "They really exhaust their oxygen reserves rapidly," says Mintun.
He speculates that while human brains are more immediately flexible to different levels of activity, rats brains have perhaps evolved not to waste resources. "They are living on the edge a little more," he says.
But Turner is sceptical. "There's no reason to believe that the delivery of oxygen to the brain is any different for humans than for other animals."

Congratulations! You've successfully fulfilled your 3 year period of bankruptcy and have been discharged, so now what? You've undoubtedly taken the appropriate measures to address your financial difficulties by filing for bankruptcy, and all your debts are well behind you now. Having said this, there's still a good deal of work required to get your finances back in order. The most challenging issue that discharged bankrupts face is their ability to borrow money, and the reason for this is their bad credit rating.
For the previous three years, you've had no debts to repay so your credit history has nothing to show with the exception of a bankruptcy mark against your name. There's been no movement on your credit report, so an empty page will make lending institutions reluctant in lending money to you simply because they can't analyse your repayment behaviours. Repairing your credit history is the best way to get your finances back on the right track, and make your recovery process as seamless as possible.
The best ways to rebuild your credit report after discharge?
Due to the fact that lending institutions haven't had the ability to ascertain your financial management skills for the past three years, you will need to start showing healthy financial habits. Here's a list of ways in which you can do this
1. Regular employment
Acquiring regular and ongoing employment is a terrific way to increase your financial security and display to banks and financial institutions that you have a regular stream of income. Reliable employment will enable you to increase your savings and enhance your overall financial circumstances, leading to a better credit rating.
2. Increase your savings balance
Your savings account is an asset, so increasing your savings balance gradually will illustrate to lenders that you are financially dependable and are capable of making loan repayments. By putting money into a dedicated savings account each month, even a small amount, will improve your credit rating.
3. Limit your credit applications
Every time you apply for a line of credit, it is marked on your credit history, so excessive credit applications can adversely affect your credit history. After being discharged, it's integral that you are practical and vigilant about the types of credit you apply for to increase your chances of approval. It's best to request only one line of credit at once, and bear in mind that secured loans and options with a guarantor or joint accounts will increase the likelihood of approval.
4.Consider a term deposit
If you've managed to save money throughout your bankruptcy period, contemplate investing part of it into a term deposit account. Not only will you accumulate interest and boost your overall financial position, it will additionally show financial institutions that you are financially sensible. Therefore, your chances of securing a loan will be increased which leads to an improved credit rating.
5. Always make repayments on time
One of the most important things you can do as a discharged bankrupt is to make any kind of repayment on time. Regardless of whether it's your rent, electricity, or even a secured loan in your name, making these repayments on time will definitely improve your credit report and increase the confidence that financial institutions have in your financial management capabilities.
6. Don't be afraid to speak to lenders
If you want to apply for a line of credit after your bankruptcy period, or uncover what types of options are available to you, don't hesitate to talk to banks or other financial institutions to review your circumstances. They are in the best position to advise of your eligibility, and offer recommendations on what options would work best for your individual situation.
Beware of credit repair agencies
There are a lot of credit repair agencies that will make all sorts of promises to improve your credit report. While some of them are useful in disbuting any incorrect listings on your credit history, they may not be able to do anything else to improve your credit report. The Government's MoneySmart website (https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/) advises discharged bankrupts to be "very careful" of these firms since they "may not always be able to do what they claim they can".
If you're in need of any expertise in repairing your credit report, or have any questions about your recovery process after bankruptcy, it's always best to seek advice from qualified professionals. Speak to Bankruptcy Experts Rockhampton on 1300 795 575, or alternatively you can visit our website for additional information: Bankruptcy Rockingham

HFCA are delighted to announce our latest partnership with Liger Leadership Academy. Having worked together informally since September 2016 we are very happy to have signed our Memorandum Of Understanding.
"We are always looking for like minded people who are doing something good for the country, the whole aim of Liger is to create change agents for the country, so if we find people doing that and also in a not so admin heavy way, HFCA are direct action. If there are real things happening Liger want to be a part if it.
We both have a goal of really developing Cambodia, education spans sport as well. Sport is a very important part of that. What HFCA do for underprivileged Cambodians is, I think a real role model for many organisations and we really want to be a part of that" Dominic Sharpe, Liger Leadership Academy Country Director
World Class facilities at Liger allow their students to explore and learn. Picture LLA
Liger Leadership Academy (LLA) educates the promising youth of today to develop socially conscious, entrepreneurial leaders of tomorrow. They provide a residential scholarship program for economically disadvantaged students that combines a comprehensive, internationally competitive education with an innovative Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics (STEM) and entrepreneurship curriculum. Liger believes a meaningful investment in the right few will change the lives of many.
With 60% of the population under 30 years old, Cambodia's future rests in the hands of its youth. LLA believes it is imperative to equip a new generation with the capacity and drive to lead Cambodia's future social and economic development. With up to 65% of Cambodian children failing to finish Secondary School LLA know how important educating the future leaders of Cambodia is to rebuilding Cambodia. LLA is committed to nurturing highly-skilled entrepreneurial thinkers who are globally-minded, determined, ethical, passionate, and effective. Liger students aren't waiting for tomorrow; they are changing their country now.
Five Liger students with Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport His Excellency Dr. Hang Chuon Naron at his office.
"I want to change Cambodia by alleviating poverty. I believe poverty is the root of most of the problems occurring in Cambodia right now. If people have better income, they will take the risk of sending their children to school rather than telling them to beg for money. The first step is to provide job opportunity. The next step is to introduce project-based learning into our government schools because the students will be more engaged in their projects. Education is the most powerful tool to improve our country." Makara, LLA Student, Age 16

"My hope for Cambodia is gender equality, education equality and no more poverty. I love Liger because it was made to create a brighter future in Cambodia by realizing the promising child and it practices equality between girls and boys." Bopha, LLA student, Age 13
Over the course of the next three years HFCA are committed to ensuring LLA students will have opportunities in the following areas but not limited to:
-Assistant coaching and management roles in semi professional football league set ups
-All manner of media activities including post-match video reports, TV programs related to HFCA which run over a period of time, engaging with Khmer media, working at HFCA press conferences, producing promo pieces for HFCA sponsors and possible overseas trips to manage mainstream/social media during the duration of an event.
-Event management
-Project management

"LLA are doing amazing work with their 110 students. The school facilities are world class and the opportunities afforded to the students to develope and grow are ground breaking. The caliber of the staff supporting the students on their educational journey is fantastic. We are excited to see where this new partnership takes HFCA and are particularly grateful to Dominic Sharpe for his hard work and perseverance in signing this MOU"

Your new carpet somehow got wet, what do you do now? You must act quickly to dry out wet carpet because humid air and carpet fibers saturated with water offer a perfect breeding ground for mold. A small mishap where a glass of water may have been spilled requires a simple absorbent paper towel. Wet carpet in a large area or an entire room requires you to have a more comprehensive strategy.
It's critical that you remove as much water as possible in the shortest amount of time– within 24 hours. Depending on the conditions, mold spores can start growing within 48 hours.
The basic steps for drying out wet carpet:
- Start by gathering the following tools and equipment you'll need to do the job, some of which you can rent from a tool rental store or home center:
- towels
- bucket
- wet-dry vacuum
- fans
- dehumidifier
- baking soda
- vacuum
- paper towels
- Provide ventilation by opening the windows throughout the floor and in the room with the wet carpeting. This will create a good cross breeze. If the outside temperature is humid, keep the windows closed. Turn on the room air conditioner or central air unit and a dehumidifier to reduce humidity.
- Use the large towels to soak up excess water on the carpet. Lay open towels around the wet area of the carpet. Press down on the towels with your hands and feet to absorb moisture from the carpet. When the towels become saturated, replace them with dry towels. Place the wet towels in the bucket.
- Use the wet-dry vacuum–set in the "dry" mode–to extract water from the carpet. Working in slow straight strokes, make multiple passes over the carpet to withdraw as much water as possible. Press down hard to remove as much moisture from the pad. If the area has a tremendously large amount of moisture, the carpet with need to be lifted and an air mover placed underneath in order to dry the pad. Then have the carpet re-stretched once it is completely dry.
- Position multiple fans in the doorway or in a dry area and direct them towards the wet carpet. Plug in and turn on a dehumidifier to pull excess moisture from the environment.
- Sprinkle a liberal amount of baking soda over the area and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. The baking soda will act as an absorbent for remaining moisture and odors. After waiting the allotted time, vacuum the work area to remove the baking soda.
- Run the fan and dehumidifier over night to continue the drying process. The next day, press a paper towel against carpet to determine if any dampness remains. Once the area is completely dry, move the furniture back into the room.
When to contact a Professional Carpet Cleaner
If the water resulted from a backed-up sewer back or the carpet has been wet longer than 24 hours, you may want to consult a professional.
If you find your flooring in the above situation, hopefully, these steps help solve the problem quickly. Whether you have a wet carpet problem, another flooring issue or questions about flooring products—hardwood, vinyl, tile or carpet, contact Just Around the Corner and speak to a flooring expert.

I'm so excited they're finally here! It's my pleasure to introduce our brand-spanking-new collection of Veronica London Laptop Bags at CareerBags.com!
With no further ado, here's our gorgeous updated version of the Veronica London Monogram Laptop Tote:
I designed the original Veronica London Monogram Laptop Bag for the National Association of Women Business Owners and it was so popular that I decided to make it available on CareerBags.com as well.
When we sold out earlier this year, I took the opportunity to add new colors and fabrics to the Veronica London line.
The Veronica London Monogram Laptop Tote's unique styling will help you make a splash at the office -but this bag's not just for show. The Veronica London Laptop Tote is one of the most well-organized laptop bags that we carry.
It comes with a zippered, removable laptop sleeve and has plenty of pouches and pockets for all the things you carry in your career bag – business cards, pens, PDA, notebooks and more.
And, for a limited time, you can personalize your Veronica London with your initials for FREE – just tell us which 2 or 3 initials you want in the comment area when you're checking out. What can I say? I like to put my stamp on things.
If you're looking for something a little more whimsical (but still functional), check out our beautiful new Veronica London Wirkin Carpet (Laptop) Bags:
These bags are a bit of an homage to the famous Hermès Birkin Bag – so we named it the "Wirkin" Bag and created a look I call "Classic Bohemian".
The Wirkin bag design was inspired by the rich fall colors and the wonderful mix of vintage carpet bag fabrics that are back in style these days. I wanted to design a bag to get back to my hippie roots – a bag that made me look like a gypsy…with a job.
The Wirkin has a sturdy, zip-top closure and, like the Veronica London Laptop Tote, it comes with a removable laptop sleeve and the same excellent organizational features. The Wirkin keeps your positive energy flowing and business cards, PDA and incense in their place.
So whether you're classic, bohemian or a little of both, the Veronica London line is here to help you bring out your personal style in your business life. I hope you love them as much as I do! (not that I'm biased in any way…) The Veronica London line is available exclusively at CareerBags.com.
