How about Bose Quiet Comfort Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones, under $500? .......... Consumer report rates them high ........... They beat out the Beats (ha, ha, ha) in their ratings :-) ...........
InnerFidelity Editor's Choice 2018 – Under $500
We hope you enjoy reading about them as much as we enjoyed (and struggled over) choosing them.
This is the Under $500 USD List, so I'll get to the point and let you read on.
– Rafe Arnott
Campfire Orion –$350 USD
I'm not normally a big IEM fan, but this one caught my attention at RMAF this year. I like a neutral tuning, and often find it difficult to get a good fit from IEMS, making my few journeys into that world frustrating at best. With Campfire's foam tips I'm able to get a satisfying fit and I really enjoyed their even-handed tuning, none of the bass-cannon effect from other IEMS that I find so fatiguing. At the same time it doesn't have the peaky and elevated treble that I have found a lot of folks enjoy too. Really a nice, balanced product from Campfire. A little expensive, but attainable and worth the cost in my opinion.
iFi Nano iDSD Black Label – $200 USD
I had a little trouble coming up with strictly audiophile oriented headphones for this list – 2018 seemed to be the year of the $600-$800 headphone. But it was also the year of the electronics, and one of the absolute highlights was this unit. You can read my full review from a few months back, but my thoughts haven't changed much. This is a wonderful little unit, quite neutral, a little laid back perhaps, able to drive just about any headphone you'd want to take on the go, and it's truly Nano sized. The price point is reasonable to boot.
Sonarworks True-Fi Software – $80 USD
It's $80 and if your headphones are supported it works like a charm. What's not to like? Ok, so if you're headphones aren't supported obviously it's not ideal, but you can actually email Sonarworks and request they add them. I also found the correction does have a bit more effect than some other, more work-intensive solutions, but the real value proposition here is that this is an inexpensive and non-destructive way to correct your headphones. I wish there were a little more flexibility to it, more FR tilt or EQ options to tweak to your personal taste would be great, but I think this is nonetheless an excellent investment, especially if you have expensive headphones that have some frequency response oddities.
Audeze Mobius – $400 USD
The Gaming Headset to rule all gaming headsets? Maybe, maybe not, but definitely the best one I've tried so far. Now, it's also one of the most expensive I've seen as well. However, I'd be doing a bit of a disservice calling this just a gaming headset, because it's really much more than that. Waves headtracking, inbuilt LDAC, DSP and Bluetooth functionality, and Audeze's least expensive planar magnetic driver yet – quite a bundle of features. But how does it sound? In my opinion? Excellent. That comes with the caveat that it is not the most detailed, the punchiest, or really the most audiophile headset. However, the frequency response on the 'music' DSP setting is quite tastefully tuned, and the spatialization works brilliantly for gaming and OK for movies. I usually turn it off for most music, though occasionally I use it. The real strength of this headphone is that it's a brilliant travel and Bluetooth headphone, and allows me to enjoy my games in ways audiophile headphones are suited to. A strong all-rounder.
Sennheiser Ambeo – $300 USD
I'm sort of surprised the AR/VR and ASMR communities haven't caught on to this yet. It's probably a little expensive for what it does. Basically this is a binaural recording headset – and it really sounds quite good. The microphones and settings are all pretty basic, and it's more set-and-forget than a tweaker's paradise, but this is about the easiest binaural gets. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how nice these sound, they really do sound very good for such a multifunctional IEM. The downside is they can only really connect and record off a phone, which limits their ultimate usability, but this is another boundary pushing 'cool thing' that I'm hoping we see more of in 2019.
Cambridge Audio DUO Phono Preamplifier and Headphone Amplifier – $299 USD
Little box, big, ballsy sound… That's what I said in my preview of the DUO Moving Coil/Moving Magnet Preamplifier with integrated Headphone Amplifier when I first hooked it up and spun the vinyls through it for several hours. I stand by that initial impression and then some since it's broken-in further. It's got PRaT (Pace, Rhythm and Timing) in spades as well a warmth to the sonic presentation that doesn't take superb resolution out of the picture one iota. Sounding far better than anything at this price point has any right, the DUO is a great place to start your LP-listening journey via its RCA outs to your stereo or powered speakers or via its punchy headphone out. Some might find they don't need to go further and just stand pat, not finding a need to upgrade. –Rafe Arnott
BoseBuild Headphone DIY Kit – $120 USD
Love or hate Bose, they are one of the research giants of the industry, constantly pushing the boundaries of audio science and new products. The vast majority of what they know never reaches us the consumers, and their history is littered with plenty of failed experiments. Personally I give them a lot of credit for those risks, and every once in a while, they come out with something that's really pretty cool, and even useful. I think this is one of them. No, it's not a fantastic noise-cancelling earbud, or AR Audio-glasses (yes, they have those now) but it is of interest to the audio enthusiast or kid who's interested in knowing more about DIY and how headphones work. This little kit arrives as a jumble of parts and an Apple iOS app. It walks you through several hours not only of how to build, but also basic auditory science, how transducers, ears and microphones work, how to maintain ear health and a bunch of other topics. It's somewhat focused on a younger crowd, but the information and process should prove informative for anyone interested in a hands-on headphone product. The headphones themselves are nothing special, but the learning process and experience is one of the cooler headphone-related things I've seen in 2018.
Hi Rafe,
Any update for us as to when the first full headphone review with Keith's measurements will be published?

On 10 February 2016, decree no. 18/2016 (the "Decree") was passed which, following the agreement reached with the EU late last month, sets out the details of the Italian government guarantee scheme for senior tranches of securitisation ABS backed by NPLs.
It is hoped that the scheme will help to alleviate the serious problem of nonperforming loans on the balance sheets of Italian banks, estimated to make up around 17% of total loans, as compared with the EU average of 6%.
This Finance Law Alert is an update of our newsletter published on 1 February 2016 entitled "Italian Finance Ministry announces Government guarantee scheme for Italian NPL Securitisations".
State guarantee of senior ABS backed by NPLs
The State will provide an irrevocable, unconditional, first demand guarantee for asset-backed securities issued as part of a securitisation transaction whose underlying assets are non-performing loans. The scheme will initially be available for 18 months, extendable by further decree with the prior approval of the European Commission.
The guarantee will only cover the most senior tranche of notes, and the mezzanine and junior tranches must be fully subordinated to such guaranteed senior tranche. To qualify for the guarantee scheme, the NPL seller must be an Italian bank; the Decree therefore appears to preclude guarantees for NPL securitisations where the portfolio has already been sold by the originator bank to a third party purchaser.
The purchase price of the NPLs may not be higher than their net book value (gross value net of adjustments).
Making a claim under the guarantee
Noteholders may call under the guarantee following failure by the issuer to pay interest or principal, at any time up to nine months after the final maturity date. Before making a demand under the guarantee, the noteholders must, acting through the representative of the noteholders, make a written demand to the issuer for the unpaid amounts. Following the expiry of 30 days without payment by the issuer, the noteholder will have six months to call under the guarantee.
The guaranteed amount is payable by the State within 30 days of the demand. No interest or other expense may be claimed under the guarantee over and above unpaid amounts owing under the senior notes.
Guarantee fee will increase over time
The State will charge a guarantee fee being an annual percentage of the principal amount outstanding of the guaranteed senior tranche.
The guarantee fee will increase over time, both to cover for the higher risk associated with longer duration of the bonds and to create an incentive for early recovery of the underlying debt.
The price for the first three years is calculated as an average of the mid-price of three-year benchmark single name CDS over the six months prior to the issuance of the guarantee.
The Decree specifies three "baskets" of Italian corporate and bank issuers including Enel, Eni, Unicredit, Telecom Italia, Intesa Sanpaolo and Assicurazioni Generali. The rating of the issuers in each basket correlates with the rating assigned to the senior tranche. Any such issuer which is downgraded, shall be excluded from the relevant basket.
In the fourth and fifth year the price will increase (5- year CDS) and from the sixth year onwards the guarantee will be fully priced (7-year CDS). In addition, after three years there will be a supplemental premium which also steps-up at the five year mark.
The guarantee fee is paid by the issuer in accordance with the payment waterfall described under the heading "Priority of Payments" below.
Investment grade credit rating
Issuance of the guarantee by the Italian State is conditional upon the senior tranche receiving an investment grade public credit rating from at least one independent rating agency accepted by the Eurosystem. Where two credit ratings are required, the second may be from a rating agency registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (the CRA Regulation).
As an alternative to a public rating, the issuer may obtain a private rating addressed to the Ministry of Economy and Finance from an independent rating agency accepted by the Eurosystem.
Off-balance sheet treatment
The guarantee will also be conditional upon the seller bank owning less than half of the junior notes issued under the securitisation, or in any case, that the receivables are recognised as not being on its balance sheet under applicable accounting rules.
Independent servicer
The ABS issuer will be required to appoint an external independent servicer to recover the underlying debts which does not belong to the same group of companies as the originator bank, in order to prevent conflicts of interest.
Swap and Liquidity
The Decree provides that the ABS issuer may enter into a swap agreement to mitigate interest rate risk and/or a liquidity line so that it can meet its senior expenses on each payment date, including interest on the senior notes.
The senior notes and (if issued) mezzanine notes will bear interest at a variable rate payable in arrears quarterly, semi-annually or annually, calculated on the relevant tranche's principal amount outstanding. The Decree provides that payment of interest on the mezzanine notes (if issued) can be made conditional upon performance targets relating to recoveries on the underlying portfolio being met.
Priority of Payments
The Decree sets out the payment waterfall in accordance with which the issuer's available funds deriving from the loans forming the collateral (net of amounts payable to the servicer) will be distributed on each payment date, as follows:
- Taxes
- Fees and costs of the issuer's service providers
- Fees and interest on the liquidity line (if any) 4. Guarantee fees
- Amounts under the swap agreement (if any)
- Senior note interest
- Principal under the liquidity line (if any)
- Mezzanine note interest (if issued)
- Senior note principal
- Mezzanine note principal (if issued)
- Interest, principal and additional return on the junior tranche.
Accordingly, early repayment of principal of the notes may occur in accordance with the waterfall, subject to the availability of funds
Next steps
The Decree came into force on 15 February 2016 on publication in the Official Gazette.
It must be converted into law within 60 days and further amendments may be introduced during the conversion process.
The Decree also provides that the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance may introduce implementing rules within 60 days of conversion of the Decree into law.

EARLIER GRAHAM WROTE: We're having internet connection problems today, and blog updates will be delayed.
We're currently "working the issue" (as the techies say), so do call back a bit later....
12:48 lunchtime, Thursday
What a Day!! I was up bright and early and feeling relatively sane, and came downstairs with a cheerful spring in my step! OK that last line is a lie; I was shuffling along like an old git propped up on my walking stick as ever, but I had a conceptual spring in my step. I switched on my computer and went online, and managed to download about 2/3 of my emails before the internet connection conked out. It has been intermittent all day until now, but the peculiar thing is that when we telephoned BT, they had no knowledge of the outages. We therefore assumed it was all down to our fairly ropey equipment, but throughout the day we have been receiving news that everyone that we have spoken to in North Devon, and other folk across the country, even as far abroad as Rob Ayling up in the frozen north have told me that they have also had patchy internet access. How about you guys out in readersville?

The Adventurist's Guide to Getting your Kicks in Ecuador
Thrills abound in Ecuador. The country's soaring volcanoes, deep jungles, miles of beaches and the wealth of the Galapagos Islands make it many an active explorer's playground. For those looking to broaden their horizons while making the most of the country's adventurous spirit, here are ten things to consider putting on the list. Check back with this site weekly for a new series featuring adventure in Ecuador.
The Hubs
Walking into a new place and feeling a different energy in the air is invigorating. Hubs can be restaurants, expat hangouts, motorcycle rental shops or the only cafe in town that serves good coffee. When travelling in Ecuador, make sure you check the following place out for the companionship of fellow travellers and the expertise of those who find themselves the proprietors of the establishments themselves
Travel Hacks, Ecuador
Ecuador's changes in latitude spans beyond the sharp contrasts of the land. Navigating the culture is another set of directions to master which sometimes leave the newly arrived traveller and the long-term expat a bit sideways. Facts of life that people run out of change, taxis need to be vetted and negotiated with and that there are few places to get a Guinness are commonly covered on TripAdvisor and other travel forums.
Apart from the every day nuisances needed to successfully navigate the hills and valleys of the country, there are other points on the compass to be considered while traversing the land. This is an introduction to a new series about travel hacks for living and travelling in Ecuador and why you need them. Subscribe to the Bucketlist here, like us on Facebook or check back weekly for new posts about Ecuador and its hotspots.
The Hubs-Great Hostals Backpackers-Los Pinos, Banos-Where Travellers meet.
To the South of Quito, Banos takes travellers from city to outdoor fun within a four hour journey. The city's facade is of sport, confection and tom foolery, but its heart echos the spirit of adventure. Rock climbers, white-water hounds, cyclists and hikers all meet daily at the center of town for a morning's coffee … Continue reading
The Hotlist, Quito-Swing Original Monks-Be Monk!
Quito's diverse Musical and cultural hotspots are constantly changing and growing. The local music scene which just a few short years ago consisted of a lot of death metal, has now been over-run with fun-loving, original, 10 piece bands rocking the house both far and wide. Check back with this blog weekly to find out more about the scene with the hotlist, Quito.
Swing Original Monks are a genre unto themselves. The band at times is camp but the music is a tight fusion of swing, jazz, bluegrass, conga and whatever else they feel like throwing in during the moment. Baseline's bounce and jump, guitar riffs wander and come pounding back while the drums keep the beat with the rest of the band setting up the moment to pounce.
How Skiing and Snowboarding in the Rockies Helped Me when Traveling and Living in Ecuador
There is an intangible element to travel and adventure, a force that compels one forward, stretching the boundaries between the known and the unknown, The feeling one gets when boarding a plane to sites unseen, the excitement of finding an undiscovered destination, the joy of standing in a small Andean town surrounded by vast stretches of lush green mountains all stem from this vague but welcome element.
Travel Tips for Quito
There is a lot on the travel forums about Quito.. Not much of it is good. I tend to take a slight offense at this as I have lived here for a few years and love the diversity and different areas of the city. Old Town, Guapalo, and many other areas of the city are definitely a reflection of Quito as a whole. This is something I didn´t really get when I first arrived as I needed to travel around the country to see the different people and places to understand the city and the people who move here for work and to live. Ask any taxi driver where their from or your waiter or waitress at a restaurant and you will be amazed at the places that people have moved from.. The coast, the orient, the mountains, everyone has a story to tell about why they came to Quito.

Few singers have left indelible marks on whole genres of music like Johnny Cash.
The Man in Black released his first album, "Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar" in 1957 and went on to deliver almost 100 more albums, among them numerous collaborations, Gospel releases and movie soundtracks.
Cash imbued the spirit of early rock'n'roll, embedding his country sound with rockabilly and blues influences. And he stayed relevant up until the end of his life, seeing a great success with a Nine Inch Nails cover of his song "Hurt," which was released in 2002, just a year before he died.
However, one of Cash's most long-lasting hits is "Ring of Fire," a plucky, trumpet-filled medley about the burning power of love.
One of the most famous covers of the track was produced in 1968 by Eric Burdon and The Animals. Although their much deeper blues and trumped up psychedelic guitar version is one of our favorites, there are two recent notable covers of the Cash track that deserves some attention.
One of the most originals covers that I've heard is by Sacramento-based singer Teddy Briggs, aka Appetite, who has put his own spin on the track in a wholly original and fresh way. Appetite's version features echoey, layered vocals, heavy percussion and dreamy melodies, breathing new life into the classic.
Another version that takes the track down a sweeter route is by chanteuse Stacie Buhler. Buhler's voice has a sweet folk-meets-Southern trill that captures the full romance of Cash's love song.
Both covers are available to download for free.

I've known Isaac for 2 years. used to do a class with him, now we hang and talk. it's not condescension to call him a writer, he's very busy at it, takes it seriously. and his use of visual has been instructive for me. he recently wrote a story in columns, 4 per page. the idea being that he was writing Chinese. his writing would be a feast for Jung, for it's full of archetypal imagery. a great deal of murder goes on in his stories, inscrutable Shakespearian tragedy. he wrote a series of mysteries featuring a Holmesian detective called Septic Option. I asked where he got he name. he replied he got it off a box of Rid-X, a product that treats septic tanks. he wasn't being self-consciously clever, as I would've had I gotten the name that way, he just saw the word combo and liked it. he very much thinks of himself as a writer but doesn't need to convince the world yet. there is something greatly therapeutic for him in his writing. writing and drawing provide a vocabulary by which he can deal with the traumas of life. so there's an aspect of expressive threapy to his work, but it would be cheating Isaac to say that's all his work is. it's a basic confrontation with elemental issues, for sure, and also an artistic journey. he's not at the point where he rewrites, it's still simply a mighty outpouring, but there is integrity to his artistic vision. that's what gets me about the Foetry drama. so much wallowing in rep. and it's all such a mess of non-issues, except that they're promulgated by needy people prancing publicly. what a thin tea that sweat makes! nervous artist types.

I wouldn't advise the non-crank Enrique Gould nor any the others who've quit or threatened to quit blogging to keep on with their blogs. I continue to have trouble staying on with the project, and I love writing this thing. this sort of writing works with my particular process. I can see how blog-writing might distract others from their process, for me it fits my method. but it can become a show, a public dance. examples of such cheap thrills are out there, easy enough to find. how's my career look everyone? maybe this thing reads like that but from this end it is useful (albeit fun) work for me. but still... I quit the flarf list, where I didn't belong anyway, tired, and I don't feel any group attachment. Henry's comments below regarding hisnon-crankiness are pretty sharp, and kind of inspire this pallid rumination here.

I mean, imagine if Alan Cordles and Jim Behrle both hated me: I'd sure be up shit creek. and if Ron Silliman lumped me with his latest monolith, I guess that would hurt pretty bad. I mean, if any or all of that happened, it'd totally be all over for me. wow, have I had a vision of hell just now!!!

I guess John Latta will be glad to know that I agree with his point about Silliman's fight against School of Quietude. Silliman procceeds with a concerted lumping together process, badgering this idea he has of School of Quietude. the conservative politics we see in this country bases itself on people doing the same effing thing. Silliman embarks on a dispiriting imitation of criticism when he deplores the monolith he imagines. he has too much intelligence to be this lazy.

previous piece was written 5 years ago, which is about as far back as I'm willing to go with my poetry. I stumbled on it recently. I kinda started the whole thing over about 1999, really make use of the lessons I think I learned. didn't Spicer say he was born in 46, becasue hat's when his writing started, or something? but anyway, itthe poem reads like I wrote it recently.

that much settling down feels like the end of everyone. grave sight.
today is the end of yesterday, finalized in abrupt words. not that the matter ends, only that there can be only so much, left to what.
only so many tributes fill the void. the void stares back, reflective. today, that sad boundary. tomorrow, look at the day.
damp clouds are no help, and the rain is only a mild excuse to cry. today is what is left, out of gas or what's the word for something? anything might fit the day or what people need, when loss is tremendous.
trees groan under the weight of what trees grow under the weight of.
the river goes away and the bier takes flame. that is bad enough, as we hold.
we haven't a chance, or in sunlight anything could be shiny. new today will grow old. anything timeless has limit.
today is leftover or forgotten, tomorrow looms emptiness and what we look for, when the rains stop. who we lose is important, in the struck rock way of pickaxe into mine wall.
so much gets lost, just like that. yesterday, when it was okay, seems so harsh.

indeed Lanny Q's various, witness:
where sand and pupils
in the sea of schools
which is more expansive than the previous, and lovely still. I don't know what the typical Quarles piece is like.

lovely poem by Lanny Quarles, also posted to Wryting-l. no superfluities, and the words seem like stones. I am not a minimalist, wish I had that beam focus. Creeley, Niedecker, Zukofsky in ways (perhaps I am not quite speaking minimalism but...)... minimalism is a mode and I'm afraid I'm probably caught in maximalism (but I love that too: Jim Leftwich, Ron Silliman, Peter Ganick...)... anyway, back to point, great poem by Lanny Quarles.

Jonathan Mayhew read A Nest of Ninnies, but didn't like it. he preferred Schuyler's other novels. I liked A&G alot, really charming, and I haven't read What's For Dinner (great title tho: there's room in the novel world for the deflated). well, okay. JM says on his blog that he's read more than one Saul Bellow novel. one did it for me (The Dean's Winter, a truly lifeless piece of work), so I guess it's a matter of taste. sooth to say, Creeley's not to my taste. that's no denying Creeley's greatness, but I get more pleasure from O'Hara, say, than Creeley. poetrywise, at least. I really dig Creeley's critical work, including interviews. oddly, 2 of the most influential poem type writers for me are minimalist: Creeley and Grenier. Grenier as my only teacher sent me in directions that saved me from inflating Whitmanly, and Creeley just gave example. I was warmer to Olson's poetry but I needed to fight and wrassle with the Creeley oeuvre. and maybe I get caught up in the idea too much of poetry, when I just can't comprise the term in a usefully concise way. Mike Snider loves poetry and Ron Silliman loves poetry, that's absolutely clear on their blogs, but they don't love the same thing. not hardly. what I write, I've always called it poetry, but why is it poetry and not something else? I've written 7 novels (I know, hard to believe), 2 of which could possibly be worth publishing if this world fit my theories at all and if I, like, should show them to someone. all of them MUCH influenced by Ninnies. no plot, no character development, so what's left? I dunno, but it's my vision. that's what I love about Ninnies, and A&G too. so my poetry: my writing that hangs under that designation, it is what is available to me to write. I don't mean to make a boring statement like that. I still get bedeviled by form. why stanzas anymore? what's the dimension of a line? what does punctuation mean? these questions are easier to answer from formalist standpoint, but even there, got to twiddle with what's expected. well I guess I should cut this divagation short, I'm supposed to be writing about Jung.

Going on vacation is supposed to be a fun time, but packing can be a nightmare. Space is often limited, due to luggage restrictions or your own personal preferences, and most people end up packing in a rush, making themselves liable to forget something important.
That's why it's handy to have a general packing checklist—you won't have to worry about forgetting something important, so long as you capture all the items on the list (even if you're pressed for time).
Check out this ultimate packing checklist when you prepare for your next vacation.
These items are ones you shouldn't go on vacation without, even if it's just for a few days:
- Travel documents. Don't leave the house without your important travel documents. This covers a wide range of possibilities, depending on the type of trip you're taking. For example, if you're driving, you'll need your driver's license, and if you're flying, you'll need a government-issued ID. You'll need a passport if you're traveling outside the country, and you may want to print out documents like tickets and reservations—just in case the electronic versions fail on you when you need them.
- Electronics. Next, you'll want to remember to take your electronics. These will likely include things like a laptop, a smartphone, a tablet, or maybe a digital camera. For most people, these are modern necessities, and will give you emergency communication, access to your travel plans, and more. Just don't forget to bring your charging cables, too. You might even want to pack an extra—the last thing you want is to be stuck without a way to charge your iPhone.
- Clothes. Clothes are another broad category that will vary depending on your lifestyle and where you're going. Will it be hot there? Cold? Will the temperature vary? Be sure to take more socks and underwear than the number of days you're staying, but don't over-pack things like shirts, shorts, pants, skirts, and jackets.
- Hair products. You'll also want to bring your hair products, especially if you need to make an impression. The TYME styling iron and similar models are lightweight and especially portable, so they won't take up much space in your suitcase. You may also want to take products like hairspray or conditioner if you have specific preferences.
- Dental hygiene. Toothbrushes and toothpaste aren't expensive, but you don't want to be caught without them—especially if you have a signature toothbrush, like an Oral B electric model.
- Sunscreen and makeup. Finally, you'll want to take along sunscreen and makeup. You need to protect yourself from the sun, and you won't be happy if you leave your makeup stash at home while you're living it up on vacation.
These are items you may want to include, but they aren't necessary for everyone (or for all trips):
- Special attire. You may need to bring special forms of attire depending on your plans. For example, you might need to bring formalwear if you're planning on attending a special event, or a swimsuit if you're going to go swimming. These things are easy to forget, but aren't always necessary.
- Entertainment. Depending on your mode of travel, you may want to bring along a separate form of entertainment, such as a book or a portable DVD player. Plane rides and car trips can get boring after a few hours.
- Personal needs. You may also have personal needs to consider. For example, do you have prescription medications that you need to bring along? Are you bringing any work with you to do during the trip? It's good to think about these requirements in advance, as everybody will have different needs.
Other Tips
If you want to make the most of your packing, and minimize stress before your vacation, make sure you follow these tips as well:
- Stay minimal. Even if you're going on an extended trip, it's not a good idea to pack your suitcases to the brim. Traveling light will save you money on baggage checks, give you less to keep track of, and of course, less to lug around when traveling.
- Pack in advance. If you can, try to pack several days—or even a week or more—before your trip. The sooner you do it, the more time you'll have to remember things you may have forgotten, and the less stressed you'll be.
- Take extra cash. Even following a checklist, there's a chance you may forget something important. Bring some extra cash in case you need to buy something new.
If you follow these tips and keep this checklist accessible, you shouldn't have any problems packing stress-free—and remembering everything you need to have a successful, relaxing trip.

Free Sample Friday: Electric River
The third recording is of the electric sounds produced by a massive high-tension electrical tower. My wife had stopped to take a picture of Mt. Hood in this clearing and when we got out of the car we heard this massive, eerie crackling of the electricity flowing in the wires above us, much like the water in the river.
Because these are long recordings, I have made them available as downloadable files on Soundcloud. Enjoy!

Project scheduling is not about developing and printing a schedule and then hanging it on the wall. Good project managers use their dynamic schedules daily to model options, assess alternatives and forecast completion dates and costs. Here's how a project manager who is a good scheduler operates:
A stakeholder stops the project manager at the entrance to the cafeteria and says. "Sorry but I have some bad news for you."
While listening, the project manager flips open his portable PC and opens the project to which this stakeholder is lending people.
The PM asks, "Oh, what's happened?" while scrolling to a list of the tasks to which this executive's people are assigned.
The stakeholder replies, "I have to pull those three engineers off your project to work on something the Marketing VP dumped in my lap. I need them for 4 weeks."
The PM scrolls down the list, finds the three engineers, changes their availability for the next 4 weeks to zero and clicks enter. On the screen Gantt chart a lot bars turn red and shift to the right (later finishes). The PM says, "As long as you're talking to the Marketing VP about removing the three engineers from this projects, you can tell her that her tracking system will be 6 weeks latter than currently scheduled."
"Oh no," the stakeholder moans.
"That's the consequence," the PM replies. "I'll tell engineering and accounting about the delays this causes on their deliverables. You may hear from them."
The stakeholder says, "Wait awhile before you do that. Let me see if there is another way."
The PM smiles.
Dynamic Project Scheduling Techniques
Successful project managers use dynamic project scheduling because it saves them significant amounts of time. It also lets them quickly model the impact of changes to resources, work or costs. Dynamic scheduling automatically recalculates the duration and budget for the project every time you make a change in the resources, hourly rates, hours of work and predecessor relationships.
Many commercial project scheduling software products allow for dynamic scheduling. Here are the critical elements required for the dynamic schedule to work.
Dynamic Project Scheduling Element #1: Predecessors
Your dynamic project schedule must not be based on fixed start and finish dates. It must be based on predecessor relationships between tasks. There are three primary kinds of predecessor relationships and the entire schedule must be built on these relationships.
- First is the finish-to-start predecessor relationship between tasks A and B. That tells the software that task B can't start until task A has finished.
- Second is the start-to-start predecessor relationship between tasks A and B. That tells the software that tasks A and B can start at the same time.
- Third is the finish-to-finish predecessor relationship between tasks A and B. That tells the software that tasks A and B must finish at the same time, even though they may not start at the same time.
Dynamic Project Scheduling Element #2: Work Durations
Your schedule must be based on work durations that are calculated from resource availability and work estimates. You enter the amount of work required for a task and the availability of the resource assigned to the task. Availability is how many hours a day each resource can work on their task. As an example, say there is 80 hours of work for a team member who works on the project half-time, or four hours a day. The dynamic project scheduling software calculates the task's duration as 20 working days. That's because the half-time team member can only complete four hours of work a day.
Dynamic Project Scheduling Element #3: Track Work & Duration
You use dynamic project scheduling with predecessor relationships and work estimates to track progress on the tasks in your project plan. As an example, you may specify a finish-to-finish predecessor relationship. That tells the project management software that you want to schedule two tasks and their resources so both tasks finish at the same time. When you specify all your predecessor relationships, your project plan becomes a network of tasks, linked by the predecessor relationships. The result is often called a PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) chart. It displays your project plan and its network of tasks.
You link each task bar to the project network. That allows our dynamic project scheduling to control the sequencing of tasks based on the predecessor relationships and the amount of work in each task. It also gives you early warning on problems. When a task is completed late, the software shows the revised completion date(s) of that task's successor tasks. You have an opportunity to correct a situation that can impact the entire project's schedule.
You can learn how to use dynamic project scheduling in our online project management courses. You work one-to-one with your instructor at your pace and as your schedule allows.

The vernal equinox arrives this weekend, meaning that the weather will start to warm up, and the daily daylight will start to extend, providing even greater incentive to get out there and explore the world. Events around town occur regularly, and most people understand the basics of most of these events, such as 5k runs, art shows, or beer fests. But what happens when a traditional event comes up with a spin? Enter FirkFest, a beer festival celebrating the wonders of cask ales. Traditional beer fests see breweries or home brewers bringing in their brews to sample to the large crowd of attendees over a short period of time. This Saturday at Farmers Park in Anaheim, FirkFest will do that same thing, except the participating breweries will bring only casks to this party. A unique fest of its kind, cask ales rarely get this type of exposure, largely due to the portability of it. As a result, only cask ales from west coast breweries can survive the trip here.
Aside from the drinks featured here, FirkFest operates largely like most other beer festivals. Admission to this festival costs $55, and includes unlimited beer tastings from all the participating breweries from noon to 3:45pm, plus free parking. Around this small area, other activities include live music and some recreational games, like bocce ball, beanbag toss, hula hoops, Jenga, and more. Towards the entrance, guests can purchase food from any of the available food vendors. The majority of the beers' alcohol percentage range from six to eight percent, with a few going above or below that. As this event takes place mostly outdoors, make sure you prepare to spend all that time under the sun, so dress for warm weather, and have sunscreen applied just in case. Attendees can find plenty of free parking in the nearby neighborhoods, or can park in a structure adjacent to City Hall for free that day.

Namco Bandai shared a Soulcalibur V stream, which shows guest character Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Z.W.E.I. practicing their critical edge moves. The general command is (QCF –> QCF –> A+B+K), but the team also revealed you can enter down, forward, down, forward and ABK or down, down-forward, down, down-forward and ABK to do the same attack.
Other tidbits from the team touched on the game's character customization system. You can adjust a character's physique and there are different body types to select, which can affect a character's reach.
Soulcalibur V will have downloadable content and it sounds like the team has more in mind than character parts. Players will be able to download background music from previous games in the series. They did not confirm downloadable characters and said that hasn't been decided yet.
Soulcalibur V comes out on January 31 in North America.

Dr. H. Edward Flentje to Serve As Interim President
(TOPEKA) – Today the Kansas Board of Regents, in a special meeting, named Dr. H. Edward Flentje as Emporia State University's (ESU) Interim President. Dr. Flentje, who is an ESU alumnus, is currently a professor of public administration at Wichita State University (WSU) and most recently served as the Director of WSU's Hugo Wall School of Urban and Public Affairs. Flentje will serve as ESU's Interim President from July 1 until a new president takes office. He has indicated he will not be a candidate for the ESU Presidency.
"The Board is excited that Dr. Flentje has accepted our invitation to serve as Emporia State's Interim President," said Regent Gary Sherrer of Overland Park, the Chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents. "Ed is well-known throughout the state and in the Emporia community, and he brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience that will serve ESU well through this transition period."
"Emporia State plays a vital role in our state's future, and I look forward to assisting the Board of Regents and the University in their transition to new leadership," Flentje said. "The faculty and staff of Emporia State gave me an extraordinary foundation for my career, and I view this appointment as a special opportunity to be of service to the University that has given me so much."
Flentje has served as a professor of public administration and in a number of administrative assignments at WSU since 1979. Most recently, he served as the Director of WSU's Hugo Wall School of Urban and Public Affairs, from 1999 to 2008.
Flentje served as a cabinet officer and state agency head for two Kansas governors. From 1986 to 1988 he chaired the transition and served as Secretary of Administration for Governor Mike Hayden, and from 1975 to 1979 he served as the Director of State Planning and Research for Governor Robert Bennett. In addition, Flentje served as the Interim City Manager for the City of Wichita in 2008.
Flentje is a native Kansan, born and raised in Harper County, and attended public schools in Bluff City. In addition to his undergraduate degree from ESU, he holds a masters degree in government from George Washington University and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Kansas.
Flentje's association with ESU extends over a half century. He graduated from ESU in 1964 and was recognized by the University with the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2010. He was elected to the ESU Foundation Board last year, and he previously served on the ESU Alumni Association Board. In recent years Flentje has assisted in reestablishing the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity on campus.
"While at Wichita State, I have actively recruited graduates of Emporia State and know from this experience that the faculty and staff of Emporia State are dedicated to their educational mission and are performing an exceptional job of preparing their students," Flentje added. "I also know from my continuing association with the young men of ESU's Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity that the University continues to attract outstanding students from throughout Kansas."
Dr. Flentje's resume and photograph can be found on the Board's website at the following link:

Private Sailing and Boat Trips to Bolonia, Zahara de Los Atunes, Barbate for the Tuna Migrations and Morocco
Tarifa Beach House have joined forces with a small but fabulous company that have over 15 years of experience working in the Bay of Gibraltar and within the Protected Natural Park of the Straits of Gibraltar. This area has special geographical conditions and a mild climate almost all year round, so it is, without doubt, one of the best European nature tourism destinations.
Trips involve so much more than just the pleasure of sailing.
Bolonia has an impressive fine, golden, sandy beach with an active dune that is more than 30 metres high and 200 metres wide. This is one of the most unspoilt and least developed parts of the Cadiz coast.
Its shallow and crystal-clear waters enable clients to go diving in sea beds that are bursting with life.
On the shore, a few metres from where the boat moors is Baelo Claudia, archaeological site, a National Historic Monument. This Roman city was founded in the late 2nd century B.C. and was developed and consolidated thanks to trade with North Africa, with the tuna salting industry and the sauces that come from it (garum). It was plundered by Germanic and Moorish invaders until finally an earthquake destroyed it. However, it is surprisingly well preserved and excavations have revealed the most comprehensive remains of a Roman town in the whole of the Iberian Peninsula, with extremely interesting monuments such as the basilica, theatre, market, and the temple of Isis.
It is a unique and unforgettable experience to anchor here,and disembark using the auxiliary boat to visit the dune and the ruins.
This type of trip is highly recommended for families with small children, who will undoubtedly enjoy the experience in a peaceful setting.
From 550 € VAT included
Price for half a day (4 hours) on the Blackfin 33 boat. Includes boat charter, fuel, crew member and insurance
Optional: Catering and/or auxiliary boat.
Zahara de los Atunes
Los Alemanes and El Cañuelo:
Situated in El Estrecho Nature Reserve, next to one of the most exclusive and spectacular housing developments in Andalusia, these beaches are not very busy in summer, and remain a haven of peace and tranquillity the rest of the year.
The rough and luxuriant Sierra de la Plata mountain range and the Camarinal Lighthouse protect these idyllic beaches with turquoise waters and golden sand from the prevailing winds, so it is easy to anchor and spend a relaxing day on board in a luxurious environment.
550 € VAT included.
Price for half a day (4 hours) on the Blackfin 33 boat. Includes boat charter, fuel, crew member and insurance.
Optional: Catering and/or auxiliary boat.
Barbate coast and the Cape of Trafalgar
Not to be missed one of the most spectacular shows of nature takes place in the waters of southern Cadiz from the start of Spring to the end of Summer. Giant Atlantic bluefin tunas spend the winter feeding in the cold North Atlantic waters and in March they embark upon a spectacular migration journey covering more than 2,500 miles towards the warm Mediterranean waters to reproduce.They travel in groups of hundreds and thousands, and come close to the Cadiz coasts, making the most of the strong ocean currents in the Straits of Gibraltar, until they reach their destination.
This fact was known by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Arabs, but it was the Romans who established the largest tuna industry at the time in this area at Baelo Claudia.
Nowadays, century-old fishing techniques are still used, such as the Almadraba.
Furthermore when spring comes, with the full moon, groups of killer whales come to the area, very close to the coast, to hunt and feed on these giants of the sea as they enter the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar.
At the start of summer, on their way back towards the Atlantic, hungry because of their reproductive efforts, tunas have to face once again their only two and most feared predators: man and killer whale. The setting changes, as do the fishing/hunting techniques, and they interact in a surprising way…

Dana White on Nick Diaz: "I Believe That he Doesn't Enjoy Fighting"
By FCF Staff
Nick Diaz recently said on a media call that he doesn't enjoy fighting, and UFC President Dana White evidently believes the eccentric fighter.
Diaz made the revelation on a recent call to promote his UFC return, and his January 31st bout with the legendary Anderson Silva. While speaking with the press, prior to today's UFC Fight Night card in Maine, White had this to say about Diaz's comments (quote via UFC.com):
"He's Nick Diaz," White said. "There are a lot of things he says that make him Nick. I believe that he doesn't enjoy fighting. Everything that this guy says is why he is who he is – the way that he fights, his demeanor – it all makes him Nick Diaz. A lot of people don't like going to work but you gotta do what you gotta do. That's how he makes a living, and not everybody loves what they do."
White also added that he's "pretty pumped" for the Silva-Diaz fight, which will take place at a venue to be determined in Las Vegas.

#1788 closed defect (duplicate)
setting the output frame rate of image outputs
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Blocked By:
|Reproduced by developer:
|Analyzed by developer:
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, since I was suggested that ffmpeg is not designed to be used in such way, but I can surely ask anyway :)
Summary of the bug:
Trying to extract 1 frame each 5 seconds of the video input to an image output, by setting the output frame rate to 1/5 produces the expected result but with the first 3 output frames failed (not correctly timed).
How to reproduce:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 60 -f image2 -r 1/5 img%02d.bmp ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 60 -f image2 -r 1/5 img%02d.jpg ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 60 -f image2 -r 1/5 img%02d.png
All of the commands above will produce first 3 output image frames wrong, but all the other frames will be correctly created, meaning that img01.*, img02.* and img03.* will be wrong and img04.*, img05.*, ... will be correct. The time difference between frames is correct only the starting time point is wrong, I guess due to those first 3 frames not being created properly.

- Status changed from new to open
- Version changed from unspecified to git-master
This is related to the rounding heuristics for the video sync implementation in ffmpeg.c:
// FIXME set to 0.5 after we fix some dts/pts bugs like in avidec.c if (delta < -1.1) nb_frames = 0;
In this code, delta is the difference between the current time on the stream and the time of the incoming frame. If no frame rate adjustment is necessary, it is always 1. Theoretically, the frame should be dropped as soon as it is less than 1, but as you can see, the current code gives it a little head start.
Replacing -1.1 by 1 fixes your problem but breaks a lot of FATE tests. I do not know that part of the code enough to determine whether changing it would be correct.
In the meantime, you can use the fps filter: -vf fps=fps=1/5 (or possibly -vf fps=fps=1/5:round=down with a patch I just sent).

Mental Feeding Frenzy
Holy crap. It's been so long since I wrote a new chapter for Twisted (Tink), I forgot how difficult it is writing from scratch. It's much easier when you're simply making revisions. So for those of you who are still following along with the story, the next chapter is out! It's currently titleless. So if you come up with something good, let me know.
Daily Hoop Conversation:
Tink: It's been one month since I've had a cigarette.
Hoop: That's so awesome, babe. You're doing so good!
Tink: Do you know how I would like to celebrate?
Hoop: How?
Tink: By having a cigarette.
Hoop: How about a nice healthy smoothie instead?
Tink: *Groan*
Hoop: Then we'll go for a nice healthy walk and discuss the benefits of vinegar.
Tink: I hate you.
P.S. Don't forget, the WWC words for this week are COMMON and RARE.
P.P.S. I promise to get around to everyone's blogs this weekend. If I don't, you can, uh... Name my first born. There. I think that's more than fair!
Have a great weekend!

Teaching Holocaust Remembrance
This Holocaust Remembrance collection contains resources for teaching this tragic history and analyzing its impact on today's world. Teaching about human suffering and horrific tragedies can be difficult. But the need for educators to fill troubling knowledge gaps is clear. One recent survey found that 49 percent of millennials cannot name a single Nazi concentration camp and 41 percent do not believe that 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Fortunately, 9 out of 10 survey respondents felt that students should learn about the Holocaust in school. And a majority felt that a similar tragedy could occur again. We recommend first reading the Guidelines for Teaching About the Holocaust from the US Holocaust Museum and Memorial. They define the Holocaust in the following way:
"The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals."

A boil, the result of an infection in the skin, is similar to an abscess. It starts out as a small bump and grows over time to become a larger boil that may seep puss. Eventually, a boil will scab over.
Boils are very painful and can even cause temporary lameness in some horses. It is important to locate and treat boils as soon as possible to prevent the spread of infection.
Symptoms and Types
The signs for a boil are fairly easy to recognize and include:
- Lesion(s) on the skin
- A break in the skin
- A small bump or papule
- Edema (or swelling caused by trapped fluid)
An infection of the hair follicle or skin is the primary cause of a boil. However, bacteria such as Staphylococci or poor hygiene habits can also lead to the condition.
A boil is easily diagnosed by a veterinary professional or a person experienced with working with horses. The veterinarian will make a thorough examination of the horse's coat to check for boils, breaks in the skin, other lesions, or wounds.
A lesion of the skin less than half a centimeter in diameter
A change in the way that tissue is constructed; a sore
Any type of pain or tenderness or lack of soundness in the feet or legs of animals
A localized infection, usually a lesion filled with pus. Can be large or small in size.

An image displayed by a complication.
- watchOS 2.0+
- Clock
You create an image provider with at least one image, and you may specify two additional images to use under certain conditions. The specified images are template images, with a color applied to them prior to display. The clock face displaying the complication determines how the images are composited together and which tint color is applied.
Every image provider must contain a one-piece image, composed of a single template image. In multicolor classic complications, ClockKit applies the color in the
tint property to your template image and displays the results in your complication. If you don't specify a value for the
tint property, the image provider applies the tint color associated with the underlying template or white if the template doesn't specify a color. In tinted graphic complications, ClockKit ignores the
tint property, and applies the color associated with the watch face.
In addition to the one-piece image, you may optionally specify two additional images to composite together in order to create a single final image. A two-piece image consists of a foreground image layered on top of a background image. Both images are template images. For classic complications, ClockKit applies the color in the
tint property to the background image, falling back to the color in the underlying template or white if the template doesn't specify a color. For tinted graphic complications, the system determines the color according to the user's color selection. In classic complications, two-piece images take priority over one-piece images. In tinted graphic complications, the system can choose either the one-piece or two-piece image, based on the complication and watch face.
For information about image sizes to use in different templates, see Apple Watch Human Interface Guidelines.

Entrepreneurs are still finding the finance to buy businesses and are taking advantage of competitive prices.
That is the conclusion of the recent BusinessesForSale.com survey of 1,000 potential business buyers.
- 48% of respondents saw the current economic conditions as an advantage when buying a business.
- 66% found banks to be accommodating to their needs, although 33% found their search for funding more difficult than expected.
- 28% viewed buying a business as a safer investment than equities or residential property.
- 36% of respondents believed that businesses for sale were more competitively priced as a result of the downturn.
- 60% of business buyers saw business ownership as a way of taking control of their life in difficult times.
- 11% admitted they wish they had bought 6-12 months ago while an optimistic 19% think it will be better to buy a business in 6-12 months time.
The survey included responses from buyers at various stages of the buying process, over 50% of whom stated that they did not or will not start looking for finance until the time was right - i.e., when they've found a suitable business for sale, contacted the seller and requested all the necessary information.
Of those business buyers who have run into problems:
- 46% said they were going to have to invest more than they hoped to secure funding.
- 36% said the lender required more information on the business in question.
- 18% said their preferred lender was unable to provide a competitive rate of interest or loan terms.
When asked specifically whether the credit crunch was adversely affecting them, business buyer views were mixed.
- 30% No - I think there are more competitively priced businesses on the market.
- 14% No - I have encountered no more problems than expected in securing my funding.
- 25% Yes - There are fewer suitable businesses coming onto the market.
- 16% Yes - I am finding it quite difficult to find the funding I need.
- 15% Yes - I will have to personally invest more than I want to in order to get funding.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the special counsel's Russia investigation (all times local):
11:30 a.m.
President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani (joo-lee-AH'-nee) has issued a new statement aimed at clarifying earlier comments that appeared to leave open the possibility of collusion between members of Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.
Giuliani says he represents only Trump and not the campaign, and that there was no collusion by Trump "in any way, shape or form."
Giuliani also says he has "no knowledge of collusion by any of the thousands of people who worked on the campaign."
Giuliani on Wednesday night insisted in a CNN interview that he'd never said there wasn't any collusion between members of the Trump campaign and Russia. Trump has repeatedly denied that there was any collusion.
9 a.m.
President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani (joo-lee-AH'-nee) says he's "never said there was no collusion" between Russia and members of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
Giuliani's comments Wednesday night on CNN directly contradict the position of his own client, who's repeatedly insisted there was no collusion during his successful White House run. Giuliani himself has described the idea of Russian collusion as "total fake news."
Giuliani says even if some on the campaign did something wrong, there's "not a single bit of evidence" tying Trump to a Russian hack of Democratic emails.
The comments on collusion came after Giuliani was asked about the revelation in court papers that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had shared campaign polling data with an associate the U.S. has tied to Russian intelligence.
