Oil Samples
2019 Oil samples: Fantastic and will within "Normal" limits
From oil sample report from BLACKSTONE LABORATORIES:
"Your OM 352 is wearing well based on this data. Universal averages for this type of engine show typical wear levels after about 65 hours of oil use. You went 100 hours on this oil and wear metals are average or lower. That shows internal parts are in great shape at 8,900 total hours. That means we don't see any reason to rebuild this engine just yet. It's wearing well! The only mark on this report is for a low flashpoint, which shows just a trace of fuel dilution. Small amounts like that are from normal operation, not a fuel system problem. This oil can see more use."

The Gadget Show's Jon Bentley lets a VW Golf take control
In this article: The day TV presenter Jon Bentley sat behind the wheel of one of Volkswagen's first autonomous vehicles
I've been lucky to spend my working life immersed in two of my biggest childhood passions – cars and technology. One consequence is that I often find myself being asked two questions: what's your favourite car, and what's the best gadget you've ever tested? I find them both almost impossible to answer.
The truthful response to the first is that you probably want a whole range of cars, all maintained perfectly and ready to go. That would include, say, a Range Rover for luxurious off-road picnics, design classics such as a '59 Cadillac or a Citroën 2CV, and a Lotus Elise or a Porsche Cayman for when tactile satisfaction is a priority.
Deciding upon the drive of my life is a similarly difficult conundrum. Despite TV shows and recreational tour organisers thinking nothing of sending people to blat about Madagascar, the Himalayas or South America, I haven't actually completed any epically long drives in exotic places. Even so, I do have a few possibilities to choose from. A 1,700-mile drive I made in 1993, retracing the route of the 1913 Alpine Trial on its 80th anniversary, is a strong candidate. Who wouldn't want to be part of a convoy of forty Rolls-Royce Ghosts driving through spectacular scenery and witnessing the venerable cars being driven with enthusiasm up unsurfaced Alpine passes?
Equally, I could choose a sprint down an Autobahn near Stuttgart at 190mph in a Porsche 959 back in 1986, the first time I drove a Ferrari, or the occasion, much more recently, when The Gadget Show and the Alfa Romeo Owners Club arranged for me to drive an Alfa Romeo SZ, a car I'd long admired but never actually got to sample. All those drives were brilliantly enjoyable, but somehow they don't quite feel significant enough.
The drive of my life so far, then, is one where I wasn't actually driving. In fact, nobody was. It was 2006, I was a presenter on Fifth Gear, and Paul Bucket, then the PR boss of Volkswagen in the UK, called up and said he'd seen something in Wolfsburg that we really must film: a VW Golf that drove itself. So I set off with producer James Woodroffe to Volkswagen's rather austere company town and reported for filming at the nearby Ehra-Lessien test track.
This was nearly a decade before self-driving cars became part of mainstream conversation, and I have to admit my expectations weren't very high. We were invited to lay out a course of our choice with cones, and the car would apparently follow it. We then watched as a bright red Golf GTI inched its way around the course, learning our chosen route.
Then came the surprise. The engineer, Gregor, invited me into the car, started it up and pressed go. The car launched itself at the course with total commitment and absolutely flat out, right at the very limits of its grip. It was like being driven by a phantom world-class rally driver; throttle, steering wheel and brakes all coordinating themselves as if by magic. A big red button could abort things if absolutely necessary, but it wasn't. It was a breathtaking ride that inspired total confidence.
In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have been so surprised. Stanford University had used super accurate GPS, laser scanners and a boot full of computers, all fitted to the Golf, to great success the previous year. The same team had won the DARPA Grand Challenge, the US Department of Defense-funded autonomous vehicle competition, with an autonomous VW Touareg called Stanley.
Recent changes in car design had helped too. The drive-by-wire throttle, electro-hydraulic power steering, electronic stability control and a dual-clutch transmission had made converting the Golf much easier.
At the time, VW didn't envisage the car taking to public roads. There wasn't enough artificial intelligence on board to attempt that. Instead, the firm saw it more as a way of enabling autonomous endurance testing without the need for human test drivers. But in a way that was strangely prescient. The kinds of autonomous cars that are succeeding now seem to have much in common with that Golf. They do best in controlled areas, whether that means slow-moving pods on university campuses or faster vehicles on racetracks. Artificial intelligence is still struggling to make sense of
the chaotically complex task that is real-world driving.
For me, the demonstration also exposed one of the biggest weaknesses of partial autonomy – remembering what's automated and what's not. At the event, VW was also demonstrating a selfparking Touran and, still in awe of the Golf, I hadn't realized that the system didn't brake for itself at the end of steering you into a parallel parking space. I therefore sailed merrily into the car behind, fortunately at too low a speed to do any damage, but still fast enough to be thoroughly embarrassing.
My subsequent autonomous experiences haven't really matched it. Cars intended for the public roads are necessarily slower and more cautious. Even the dedicated autonomous racers usually appear somehow less dramatic.
For its commitment, excitement and understated technological prowess, Wolfsburg 2006 is the top drive on my list.

But when Jack meets Grace, a thirty-three year old aspiring actress, sparks fly, laughs ensue, and a Crazy Love is born. You would think with the age difference, Grace would be the voice of reason amid the insanity that is their lives.
That is so not the case. Jack, he has knowledge, insight He's the reason to Grace's crazy. The calm to her storm.
The George to her Gracie. I cannot even do justice to the Redhead Series, to how immensely happy both books made. I laughed. I swooned.
I started swearing more around the house. The books are perfect. I've ordered my print copies and anxiously await the moment that I can pet them, hold them, and squeeze them tightly to my bosom.
I need more Jack and Grace in my life. I will be first on line to nab book three. Alice Clayton is my new hero.
I really liked that there was more drama in this book than in previous instalment. But I was annoyed with Grace, her self-conciousness and immaturity. Also, I was a little bit discouraged by almost-love-triangle thing that developped in this book.
This series is considered to be funny. I admit, some pa My Grace and Jack: I admit, some parts were funny. However, there were moments when situations seemed to be forced, as if author was purposedly trying to make us laugh. And it had opposite effect - it all felt akward. I think you guessed that I am not the biggest fan of Grace or this series in general.
But overall story is still interesting enough for me to find out how it is all going to end for Grace and Jack. So do not feel discouraged by my review, you may find yourself loving it!

Clayton have the uncanny ability to make me laugh, snort, and giggle with the written word but, her ability to make Grace and Jack downright irresistable is a feat not accomplished by many in my book.
This story picks up right where we left of I say "we" because yes I was there too and the transition was flawless. I was very curious as to how she would manage to make a long distance relationship steamy but I was not disappointed in the least and I have a whole new outlook on phone sex.
Clayton you have done it again and I know I am but a small voice in a sea of screams to say "We want more schmaltz"! The only downer I experienced was the realization that I now have several, and I mean several, lonely months ahead before I will be reunited with one of my favorite couples of all time! If you enjoy a good love story with some serious laughing and a touch of steamy smut, download now!
You will not be disappointed!! It made me so happy when I read it, that I dreaded not having another book by Alice Clayton to look forward to.
So I decided to have a little self control and wait till I need a happy-making book to read 2. Immediately I was back in love and so happy and actually had to put the book down a couple of times because my face started hurting from smiling so much. I kept putting it down. I was busy fixing a bunch of things on the blog.
My kids had activities. I had to do laundry which I always read during. Usually I never let something deter me from a book I totally love. But I felt it. I knew it was coming and I was too scared to let it happen. Not my George and Gracie!!! But how can a relationship like theirs work? Grace is a bit insecure, though Jack never gives her reason to be who could blame her? Then there is Michael who is perfect and adorable, and is great with kids…..
I wanted to stop, go back, unread it. But I love them and want them to be happy. The train was about to wreck….. I wanted to stop her…….. And just the right amount. I love everything about this series.
It is so very rare that I laugh out loud while reading a book. I laughed out loud so many times during this series! My husband thought I was nuts. He hears snorts coming out of me and is wondering WTF?
My Jack loved a challenge. Then he pulled me, roughly, closer to his mouth. My hands clutched tightly in his hair as he kissed me, first on the insides of my thighs, and then—sweet Lord—he kissed me right on my gonna-see-God.
Hot, sweet, funny…….. I even shed some tears. And guess what? She is writing a 3rd one. Usually this is where I put my likes and dislikes. There were no dislikes. But I will name some of the things I loved: I want to be her friend! I will happily download anything this woman writes.

Full of fun,chaotic,nutty,smutty,sad,insanely funny,and I know I mentioned smutty right? Whatever teasers us readers had in the first book,these characters are on the saddle full throttle,with any chance they get! With Jack's career booming and becoming a huge star. Grace having her chance to fulfil her dreams since she was a girl. The whole story is crazy emotional,but the characters Schmaltz. The whole story is crazy emotional,but the characters pull it off with their constant bickering and joking.
You just sort of see what'ss happening only on the surface of their lives and not what's hidden underneath,till the dam bursts Grace and Jack's relationship is confusing,weird and not at all functional. Knowing each other for six months,having mind blogging smexin,then all of a sudden,they're in love? But there is a reason for their shenanigans,first,their age difference,then,their constant reminder they are not to be seen with each other in public,dealing with each others pasts and present futures,hardly seeing each,dealing with the press,and the list just goes on and on.
But in the end when everything gets sorted out,it was more then just the two of them lusting with sex and boinking every chance they get. I'm glad everything got sorted out,now I'm a tad bit nervous as to why there's going to be a third book,I'm not sure I can deal with the whirlwind of Grace and Jack's lives again!

But still, she made some pretty stupid decisions. Thankfully, despite being the younger one, Jack was so heart-warmingly mature and loyal and fought so strongly for the relationship and to convince Grace of his love for her.

Clayton has these steamy, smutty, sexy scenes down to a science! Holy Hell can she write a sex scene. There is a lot of it in this book and while others may seem overwhelming or just plain filer I look forward to them every time without hesitation. Even on different coasts our couple still has that spark yet their careers are attempting to pull them apart.
Grace and her relationship with the one that got away, her current career boosting friend Michael only had eyes for our redhead and a past flame Marcia is showing up all over TMZ with the lovely Jack with tabloids suggestively putting them together again. Grace has her issues and they show up full force in this sequel, she crazy after all.
The few times they get to see each other are wonderful and so sweet. Grace always trying to be with Jack yet respectful of his up and coming super stardom is admirable and at times sad to me. I cannot imagine being in that position. How in the world can you even think of ending things with me? You know we are perfect together. I was worried that this could mirror another book I had just read with a love triangle but to the credit of the author she shot that down rather quickly and I was thankful.
Yes, we get the separation that I was afraid of but Jack calls BS on Grace and they are back where they belong.

529 Plans
by Eric Nager on May 31, 2018
Started in 1996, 529 plans provide tax incentives for those saving for post-secondary education. The plan allows funds saved to be used at any eligible education institution, which typically includes colleges, universities, vocational schools or any post-secondary educational institute that is currently eligible to participate in U.S. Department of Education student aid programs. Operating much like a 401(k) or IRA, funds deposited into a 529 plan are not taxed, either by the federal government or the state in which the participant resides.

This is a translation for the underrated N64 game, Sin and Punishment. There's nothing more for me to say that's not in the readme except for that I worked really hard on this . Also a special thanks to TheFreak who provided the translation of the epilogue for me. Have a cookie!
Also for a bit a tech support; if you notice that during cut scenes there is a message saying "PRESSUSTARTUBUTTON" you can rectify that by going to the graphic options, then the Game Default Options tab, and uncheck the box for 'Accurate Texture Mapping'. And that should set it back to "PRESS START BUTTON" without the u's instead of spaces.
Take note that this is not a 'traditional' rom hack that is applied via IPS. I have used Rice's Texture Plugin to replace the images in a far more friendly manner. This method allows for a higher resolution and takes far less time to code (where it may be near impossible to hack the rom itself). For this reason my translation can only be used in an emulator (not including Xbox emulators)

Author: Walter Isaacson
Original language: English
**By the author of the acclaimed bestseller *Benjamin Franklin*, this is the first full biography of Albert Einstein since all of his papers have become available.**
How did his mind work? What made him a genius? Isaacson's biography shows how his scientific imagination sprang from the rebellious nature of his personality. His fascinating story is a testament to the connection between creativity and freedom.
Based on newly released personal letters of Einstein, this book explores how an imaginative, impertinent patent clerk — a struggling father in a difficult marriage who couldn't get a teaching job or a doctorate — became the mind reader of the creator of the cosmos, the locksmith of the mysteries of the atom and the universe. His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals.
These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the last century, when Einstein helped usher in the modern age.
### Amazon.com Review
As a scientist, Albert Einstein is undoubtedly the most epic among 20th-century thinkers. Albert Einstein as a man, however, has been a much harder portrait to paint, and what we know of him as a husband, father, and friend is fragmentary at best. With *Einstein: His Life and Universe*, Walter Isaacson (author of the bestselling biographies *Benjamin Franklin* and *Kissinger*) brings Einstein's experience of life, love, and intellectual discovery into brilliant focus. The book is the first biography to tackle Einstein's enormous volume of personal correspondence that heretofore had been sealed from the public, and it's hard to imagine another book that could do such a richly textured and complicated life as Einstein's the same thoughtful justice. Isaacson is a master of the form and this latest opus is at once arresting and wonderfully revelatory. *–Anne Bartholomew*
**Read "The Light-Beam Rider," the first chapter of Walter Isaacson's *Einstein: His Life and Universe*.**
* * *
**Five Questions for Walter Isaacson**
**Amazon.com:** What kind of scientific education did you have to give yourself to be able to understand and explain Einstein's ideas?
**Isaacson:** I've always loved science, and I had a group of great physicists–such as Brian Greene, Lawrence Krauss, and Murray Gell-Mann–who tutored me, helped me learn the physics, and checked various versions of my book. I also learned the tensor calculus underlying general relativity, but tried to avoid spending too much time on it in the book. I wanted to capture the imaginative beauty of Einstein's scientific leaps, but I hope folks who want to delve more deeply into the science will read Einstein books by such scientists as Abraham Pais, Jeremy Bernstein, Brian Greene, and others.
**Amazon.com:** That Einstein was a clerk in the Swiss Patent Office when he revolutionized our understanding of the physical world has often been treated as ironic or even absurd. But you argue that in many ways his time there fostered his discoveries. Could you explain?
**Isaacson:** I think he was lucky to be at the patent office rather than serving as an acolyte in the academy trying to please senior professors and teach the conventional wisdom. As a patent examiner, he got to visualize the physical realities underlying scientific concepts. He had a boss who told him to question every premise and assumption. And as Peter Galison shows in *Einstein's Clocks, Poincare's Maps*, many of the patent applications involved synchronizing clocks using signals that traveled at the speed of light. So with his office-mate Michele Besso as a sounding board, he was primed to make the leap to special relativity.
**Amazon.com:** That time in the patent office makes him sound far more like a practical scientist and tinkerer than the usual image of the wild-haired professor, and more like your previous biographical subject, the multitalented but eminently earthly Benjamin Franklin. Did you see connections between them?
**Isaacson:** I like writing about creativity, and that's what Franklin and Einstein shared. They also had great curiosity and imagination. But Franklin was a more practical man who was not very theoretical, and Einstein was the opposite in that regard.
**Amazon.com:** Of the many legends that have accumulated around Einstein, what did you find to be least true? Most true?
**Isaacson:** The least true legend is that he failed math as a schoolboy. He was actually great in math, because he could visualize equations. He knew they were nature's brushstrokes for painting her wonders. For example, he could look at Maxwell's equations and marvel at what it would be like to ride alongside a light wave, and he could look at Max Planck's equations about radiation and realize that Planck's constant meant that light was a particle as well as a wave. The most true legend is how rebellious and defiant of authority he was. You see it in his politics, his personal life, and his science.
**Amazon.com:** At *Time* and CNN and the Aspen Institute, you've worked with many of the leading thinkers and leaders of the day. Now that you've had the chance to get to know Einstein so well, did he remind you of anyone from our day who shares at least some of his remarkable qualities?
**Isaacson:** There are many creative scientists, most notably Stephen Hawking, who wrote the essay on Einstein as "Person of the Century" when I was editor of *Time*. In the world of technology, Steve Jobs has the same creative imagination and ability to think differently that distinguished Einstein, and Bill Gates has the same intellectual intensity. I wish I knew politicians who had the creativity and human instincts of Einstein, or for that matter the wise feel for our common values of Benjamin Franklin.

### **From Publishers Weekly**
**Acclaimed biographer Isaacson examines the remarkable life of "science's preeminent poster boy" in this lucid account (after 2003's *Benjamin Franklin* and 1992's *Kissinger*). Contrary to popular myth, the German-Jewish schoolboy Albert Einstein not only excelled in math, he mastered calculus before he was 15. Young Albert's dislike for rote learning, however, led him to compare his teachers to "drill sergeants." That antipathy was symptomatic of Einstein's love of individual and intellectual freedom, beliefs the author revisits as he relates his subject's life and work in the context of world and political events that shaped both, from WWI and II and their aftermath through the Cold War. Isaacson presents Einstein's research—his efforts to understand space and time, resulting in four extraordinary papers in 1905 that introduced the world to special relativity, and his later work on unified field theory—without equations and for the general reader. Isaacson focuses more on Einstein the man: charismatic and passionate, often careless about personal affairs; outspoken and unapologetic about his belief that no one should have to give up personal freedoms to support a state. Fifty years after his death, Isaacson reminds us why Einstein (1879–1955) remains one of the most celebrated figures of the 20th century. *500,000 firsr printing, 20-city author tour, first serial to *Time*; confirmed appearance on *Good Morning America*.

To write one hundred hopeful words every day for one hundred days
'God, he looks rough,' Chris whispered.
'So would you, if you lived on Bell's and fags and fish suppers. Alright, Dad?'
'Morning, you two,' he called as he crossed over the road. 'You're up early.'
'Not really. It's ten thirty,' Ally muttered.
'Any chance of a smoke?'
Ally proffered the open packet and held out his lighter.
'I thought you'd quit, Alasdair?'
'Yeah, I have…I did…'
Ally lit a second, shaking his head.
'Your brother inside?'
'Yeah,' said Ally, 'with Mum.'
'Why's your mother's here?' He raised an eyebrow.
'To help. The house is a fucking health hazard, and you keep disappearing.'
'Jesus, I was expecting the Good Fairies, but nobody warned me the Wicked Witch was coming too.'

I'm back. You can't get rid of me that easy. I'm a fighter. I'm antsy. I gotta spill my heart over lavender candles and an eccentric musical play list.
Last week was a glimpse into my previous life as a train wreck. No…I never totally rid myself of my emotional tendencies…but I have learned how to cope. At least I thought I did until, well, last week.
I woke up Saturday morning with a hopeful heart and eagerness to hang with my CX family. I packed up the car and began to make my way to Farmhouse. My happiness was short lived and I lost my motivation somewhere between Gray and Unicoi. I arrived with coffee in hand and zero desire to race. I was also exhausted from my extremely busy work week. That combination alone is enough to squash any and all motivation one might have to wake up early and suffer on a bicycle. I was doomed from the start.
After a few cat naps under the easy-up and a conversation with inner child, I attempted to cheer up. Something just didn't feel right. I wasn't my super strong, happy self. In fact, I was feeling more like my former self. The 21-year-old super sappy, nothing-will-ever-be-ok, life sucks, I'm so depressed and desperate-for-something, grumpy self.
And everyone noticed.
I thought my race might make things better. The backside of the course was like a dream and I had hopes of finishing in the top 4. After the first lap (per my usual) I was fully aware that I was going to suck. I tried to make a few moves to salvage any hope of not being last. I managed to stay ahead of two other girls. I didn't even come close to podium. Cue emotional break down….now…
I took a moment to sit in the grass and get some sort of oxygen flowing back to my brain…I felt AWFUL. Once I could feel my face, I quietly pushed my bike back to the car and took a seat in the front. I tried to hold back my tears, but it was apparently my time to cry. I sipped my recovery drink as I let my emotions flow. My week had finally come to an end.
I'm not sure of the exact moment I discovered the microphone…
It's amazing what a blonde wig, a tutu and a PA system can do for one's mental health. I began to announce the mountain bike race. I started heckling people in the crowd. I could hear people laughing. I felt the doom and gloom lifting. This was redemption.
And then it was time to visit my old stomping ground…BOONE!
I drove up that afternoon to spend the night with the amazing Shaw and Sarah Brown. These two have held a special place in my heart of hearts for years. The Boone Town Throw Down was on the docket for Sunday and I just knew if nothing else, Boone would cheer me up. Good lord…did it ever!
|Nothing but the best entertainment at The Brown House
|My very special CX pumpkin!
|Podium girls
|Some very special old and new friends on the ASU bus
|Thanks to Kris Bedsaul (AVLCX) for capturing this amazing action shot!
|Showing the brains behind NCCX some podium love!
Race #7 of my CX career was definitely my best performance. I felt good, I rode smart and I had a blast. I think I could have gone a little harder in some areas, but overall I am pleased. The Cat 4 class was the biggest I've experienced at 24 riders. I was 17th…which isn't good…but sometimes it's not about winning. I know some of you might disagree…but opinions are like assholes….
Spending time in Boone reminds me of how much I loved living there…always hard to leave. Thanks to Sarah, Shaw and the entire Boone crew for the hospitality. You guys are too kind!
So how do I work on myself? Well, as far as my cycling is concerned, I now have a coach. I sat down with Aaron Casey this afternoon and discussed my plan for the next year.
I want to be faster.
I want to race road.
I want to ride my mtb.
I want to take my sprinting strength to the next level.
I want to maintain threshold for more than 1 lap.
I want to compete for podium rather than trying not to come in last.
I want to SMASH the CX circuit next year.
I honestly see potential in these little legs…just need help getting there. I think if I focus on my ultimate goals and am willing to sacrifice the filler, I can do this. I have a supportive crew that will see me through and my determination is explosive. I simply need to keep my head on straight and resist the urge to fall into my own personal traps.
I've heard a few people make comments like,
"Aren't you a little old for this?"
"Really? Cycling coach?"
"Why do you need to race your bike? Can't you just enjoy riding it?"
Well…no, I'm not too old.
And…YES. A cycling coach. Accountability is always good.
And lastly…I can enjoy riding my bike. But it feels good to kick someone else's ass…and being last sucks.
I'm still dealing with some other demons in my personal life. There are also a few question marks in my career making me a little uneasy and confused.
On the bright side, Cincy3 is this weekend. I'm hoping this will be a great cure for the blues.
My name is Megan…and I like to ride my bike till I puke.

Yes it's time to dress up again so what will I be this year?
Craft Materials Used

• Cardstock
• DST / Wet Glue
• Ribbon
• Vellum
Build The Lantern
Now all the pieces have been cut it's time to build the lantern up. Build the main part of the lanterns and then before you stick it all together.
Line the webs up against the thin lines next to the skulls and put the webs on the outside.
(Make Sure You Scroll To The Right For Both Images)
Spooktacular Lantern
I absolutely loved this project and considering I'm not a big fan of Halloween I was really happy with how this turned out and I know that if you are having a Halloween party then these lanterns would make great decorations but make sure to only use battery lights and not real candles. This vinyl is suitable for a lot of Halloween decorations.
As I put the remainder of the vinyl into my drawer it was all lit up and it made me think of other things that I could make. I hope that you will show us what you make and would love for you to post them on the blog for us all to see.

Nandini Murthy – The Proposer
When Nandini Murthy went down on her knees and professed her love for Manik and promised him a 'hamesha', in her style by giving Manik the glowing firefly, time stood at a standstill giving Manik the happiness of the world. The scene was beautiful but what made it more beautiful and gracious is the gorgeous actress enacting the scene.
Though the scene is simple yet this proposal scene is rated among 'the best' proposals on television and Niti Taylor emoted the scene perfectly. Whether it is her expression, or smile the actress is simply enchanting and exquisite.
We would like to wish the actress a very happy birthday and success always.

Master Boot Record — Internet Protocol
Storming onto the scene in late 2016, Master Boot Record presents a truly unique combination of sounds — even by the standards of a genre as deep and wide-ranging as modern metal. Wielding the sounds of 8-bit synths and computer technology from the late 80s / early 90s, this enigmatic project has been churning out a steady flow of instrumental material that is as esoteric as it is infectious. Internet Protocol marks the project's seventh full-length offering, and shows there's still a considerable amount of inspiration driving Master Boot Record forward.
I'm accustomed to explaining — or at least trying in earnest to explain — really bizarre music to people, but I never thought I'd be describing a music project in terms like "so, take a 486DX66 and imagine someone turned it into metal band." And yet, here we are; Master Boot Record illustrates the immense room for variety and innovation in music, even when constrained to the sound palette of 30-year-old computer technology. So many of the tones and sound utilised on this project's albums instantly transports me back to my youth, hanging out with my best friend, playing PC games his older brother pirated off of bulletin board services — a precursor to the modern Internet.
Each release, since the project's debut record, C:\>FIXMBR, has featured slight improvements to the compositional quality of the material while still retaining the same familiar sound and feel. Elements of a variety of metal subgenres are well represented on these albums, creating the truly unique fusion of a "modern throwback" sound. I'm also really impressed with how the synth guitars and drums are executed. The double-kick patterns are perfectly executed without sounding like the worst sort of triggered drum kit, and the percussion is very detailed and nuanced despite the basic drum samples that were used. Likewise, the 'guitars' fill their role perfectly, lending the requisite chugging rhythms and buzzsaw riffs to keep things very metal at all times..
Fleshing out the sound of the project is an array of additional synths, lending very classic tones and sounds to what would otherwise be pretty skeletal metal tracks. The guitars and drums provide a solid rhythm base which is then layered with additional effects and a lead synth which handles the most of the solos. The engineering of this album is another highlight, as the mixing keeps the instrumentation in balance while retaining the authenticity of the retro sounds and samples. The production presents the material well and otherwise stays out of the way, while this music was constructed entirely in software but doesn't sound impossible given the project's low-fi gimmick.
Back in the day, when I first heard the music to the game Doom, I thought it rocked pretty damn hard. Still, I never expected a musician to take that style and sound and use it in a "real" music project. And yet here I am, well over 20 years later, and Master Boot Record has done just that — crafting a synth metal project that borrows from computers of the past to push heavy metal music forward. This is some truly unique, engaging stuff that I expect to appeal to fans of progressive metal and electronic genres like chiptune alike. If nothing else, you can see proof that it is indeed possible to shred on a 486!
The seventh release from prolific instrumental project Master Boot Record, Internet Protocol dishes out just over a half-hour of furious, catchy, and exceedingly unique metal. Where a lot of projects can often crutch on an aesthetic to make up for substandard music, Master Boot Record manages to convey a mysterious image, wield an array of sounds like no other and still produce music of the highest quality. This is more than just a novelty; this is legitimately good music.

Stewardship Firm RSI Helps Churches Create a 'Culture of Stewardship' with "REVEALED: The Life You've Only Imagined"
Contact: Kristin Cole, 972-267-1111
DALLAS, July 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- RSI, the leading Dallas-based stewardship firm, introduced REVEALED: The Life You've Only Imagined, an innovative, 30-day, church-wide stewardship study, today at the National Association of Church Business Administrators Conference (NACBA) in Grapevine, Texas.
"We are proud to debut this product at NACBA, because we feel it is a perfect fit with this year's theme, 'Improving Your Serve,'" said RSI President Doug Turner. "RSI has worked with numerous church administrators through the years to help them develop customized capital campaigns. But we have found that many are eager to go beyond the topic of money to help their members see stewardship as more than a financial buzzword, but rather a way of life. This comprehensive study that reflects the biblical perspective offers just that."
The only small-group stewardship curriculum on the market designed as a church-wide program, REVEALED emphasizes accountability to unite the entire congregation as they dive into the biblical principles of managing time, talent and treasure. Participants of all ages – children, youth and adults – will reinforce the weekly Bible study with daily reflections and Scripture memorization through age-specific curriculum.
"I spent several years as a senior pastor and understand the challenge and frustration that comes with leading a congregation through the concept of biblical stewardship," Turner said. "REVEALED enables church leaders to teach stewardship as a 'people' issue, not a 'pocketbook' issue. This resource helps church leaders move their congregation into a 'culture of stewardship' by helping each member realize the magnitude of their God-given potential."
In addition to weekly Bible study, adults will also benefit from DVD teachings and inspiration from Turner, who has worked first-hand with congregations of all sizes, including Willow Creek Community Church near Chicago, Ill., and Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Joining him are some of the nation's most innovative and effective pastors including Dr. Tim Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York; Dr. David Ireland of Christ Church in New Jersey; and Rev. Troy Gramling of Flamingo Road Church in Florida.
Intertwined within these teachings are heart and humor life-lesson stories from Rev. Mike Breaux, teaching pastor at Willow Creek, as well as personal, real-life testimonies of faithful stewards.
"A life void of stress and worry is available to your church, but it requires surrender," Turner said. "A life of peace and fulfillment only comes when your members are willing to surrender their life to the Lord so that they no longer think about their time, their talent and their treasure, but rather God's time, God's talent and God's treasure. This 30-day study has the power to transform your Church but only if you are willing to fully dive in."
REVEALED is produced with the expertise of RSI and Lifetogether. RSI, led by Turner, is a Dallas-based stewardship firm that has worked with more than 17,000 large and small congregations nationwide to raise over $8 billion. By utilizing a ministry-focused approach to fundraising, RSI has developed a proven, successful methodology that is based on the biblical principles of stewardship.
Lifetogether, led by Brett Eastman, is a ministry dedicated to helping transform lives through community and has produced over 30 DVD-based, small-group Bible studies, including Gold medallion winner, Doing Lifetogether.

Additional information: The REVEALED campaign kit includes all necessary materials needed for church leaders to take their members on this 30-day journey including:

CTC260 – Case the January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue
Happy New Year everyone, thanks for joining us for a brand new year of CASEing the Catty. We are kicking off 2020 by CASEing from the new Mini Catalogue. There's 75 pages of inspiration, I can't wait to see what you CASE.
You may have hopped over from Michelle's blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team's Blogs by clicking on the "next" button at the bottom of each post.
I've chosen the yellow and green card on page 29 as my inspiration. I love the effect of white heat embossing over the stamped image.
I've changed the colours and used a different stamp set but the effect is the same. Did you know that purple poppies are a symbol of remembrance for animals that served during wartime?
My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Whisper White. I've stamped the poppies in Gorgeous Grape then stamped the abstract stamp in Highland Heather over the top of the flowers. Then I added in some White Heat Embossed poppies, slightly off setting them.
I've added some Pool Party ink around the poppies with a sponge dauber. The sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set and is stamped in Gorgeous Grape on a narrow piece of Pool party card stock. To finish off my card I added some Metallic baker's twine and Sequins from the SAB Catalogue.
Marvi was just chilling in the back yard while I was taking my photos. The look on his face may suggest I was disturbing him lol.
It's time to hop over and see Angela's wonderful creation. Just click on the "next" button to hop right over.
We'd love for you to join our first challenge for the year. Click below and send us a request to join then just upload your new creation to the wall.
Thanks for stopping by.

Appropriately, in addition, it represents number to the prestigious Vinexpo, which is recognized as the global wine fair that leads the way in your wine market. The right environment and the generations of vineyard knowledge in Bordeaux generally seems to deserve the credit for growing the very best quality kinds of grapes which can be the main element substances in the delightful combinations common throughout the globe.
The town of Bordeaux contains approximately 116,160 hectares of area concealed in to a fold on the Garonne Water and is home to some 1,105,000 local residents. The Garonne splits the area in to what's called the right bank to the east and the more developed remaining bank to the west. The tourisme bordeaux oceanic climate states hot summers averaging 195C and seasonal cold weather conditions of about 6.5C. Limestone, which adds calcium to the growing conditions, forms the geological basis in the area and the soil is composed of sandy rock, gravel and clay.

A Community Devoted to the Preservation and Practice of Celestial Navigation and Other Methods of Traditional Wayfinding
Re: Slocum's lunars (Slocum -- science and art)
From: Jan Kalivoda

From: Jan Kalivoda

As for the "science" at Slocum, I give up this issue. The reference given by Frank isn't so convincing for me as for him, but I don't want to be seen as a pedant and to force my semantic opinions on native speakers and practising sailors. Mischievously speaking, the last Frank's reference from Slocum proves that Slocum considered the "art" of lunar observations as an obvious part of the skill of a competent navigator - as late as in 1894. Why he would have neglected them in the Spray? But as for Slocum's "fiddling" his lunar calculations near Nukuhiva, I take this assumption very improbable. I must repeat - if he corrected himself at the end, he managed to find the right table values somehow. If he had made a dull mistake in the first run of calculation, why he would have concealed it by deliberate pseudoexplanations or confessed it by repeating the first sincere, but fuzzy manifestation of his "cabin fever" in his book? He was alone in the Spray, isn' it? No witness was at hand, who would have compromised him in Nav-L. I suppose that he was able to correct an isolated wrong table value (after he had realized it!): - if the error was in the last or last but one digit, the adjacent columns and the rule of three were at his disposal - if the error was in the first or second digit, the adjacent column values maybe had the same correct digits at these places - and as I wrote earlier, some tables gave simple auxiliary logarithmic values only for transposing subtraction to addition and so on; their pertinent values could be recalculated rather easily Therefore I consider his claim of correcting tables true. And in my opinion, only for that he mentioned this lunar observation as the only one during his voyage. Other lunars could remain without any remark. But Frank is right in my eyes, when he doubts, if Slocum used lunars every day or every week. Back to Frank's whalers. The uncertainty of lunars was as high as a half degree of longitude at sea - but to both sides, E/W. You should accept one degree of a parallel as the set of your positions, with the center at the longitude deduced from lunars. It was impossible to maintain the log by everyday lunar observations, your path would be very crooked on the map. And if running the constant latitude leg, you would stay on the place for one or two days and then make an incredible loop forward, based on lunars. Compare Bowditch (I have the digital edition from Starpath). During his imaginery voyage from Boston to Madeira, he records lunar observations and lunar longitudes almost every second day and the chronometer longitudes as well. But for the log and for gaining the course of the day, he uses only the DR longitude up to Madeira! All what he wants from the lunar and chronometer lo! ngitudes is that they cluster around his DR longitude in a soothing manner. (Norie in his Epitome proceeds another way. But I don't want to be lengthy.) Therefore lunars were excellent for guessing the landfall in the limit of some eight hours after several months at sea and for timing it to daylight hours or to better weather conditions, they were excellent for giving a dangerous island or cape a safe berth, but they were useless for everyday deep sea navigation. Slocum and other navigators (whalers) didn't need to use them frequently (only for exercising them). But I wonder, if such navigator, succesfull master and former lunar expert used lunars only once in his circumnavigation without a chronometer. He wasn't so moth-eaten old-timer during the voyage, as it appears from some Frank's words. Jan Kalivoda
