such explicit audio reviews nowadays..
Both in order to ascertain whether the samples of the Silver Seven-t that J. Gordon Holt auditioned were ostensibly the same as when Robert Harley had reviewed them, and to see if there were any measured reasons for this disparity between our writers' opinions, I carried out a set of measurements similar to those that Bob had done to support his original review.
The measurements were performed with Stereophile's Audio Precision System One, using high-power resistive loads built by Robert Harley. The distortion vs frequency graphs were made with the SS-t and Audio Precision grounding arranged to give the lowest measured THD and noise. A Heath/Zenith 8-bit storage oscilloscope was used to capture the square waveforms, and DRA Labs' MLSSA system was used as a distortion analyzer for the 50Hz and 19+20kHz spectrum analyses.
The amplifier tested (SN 00428) was preconditioned by driving 100W of 1kHz into an 8 ohm load for 30 minutes. The chassis had gotten very hot by the end of this time, but monitoring the distortion didn't show any change through this period after the first minute, implying that the amp was working correctly.
Though the FTC-recommended preconditioning level is one-third full power, which thermally stresses a class-B amplifier to the maximum, I arbitrarily decided upon a 100W level for preconditioning as this sample of the Silver Seven-t turned off due to overheating after about 25 minutes at the one-third power level. (A later test with the other sample, SN 00490, showed that it would drive one-third power, 191.67W, into 8 ohms for the FTC-specified 60 minutes, though the chassis became far too hot to touch.)
Though the SS-t is rated at 575W into 8 ohms, its use of a sophisticated, switched-voltage output stage means that it would be unwise to expect the amplifier to be able to deliver this power into an 8 ohm load on a continuous basis. Carver's design philosophy, which I believe first appeared in its diminutive but powerful "Cube" in the early '80s and which I have also seen in amplifiers from NAD, Proton, Hitachi, and Soundcraftsmen, is to give the amplifier's output stage a dual personality. The amplifier appears to be conventional at low volume levels, its output stage powered by relatively low-voltage rails. However, when the musical signal (which can often have transient voltage peaks very much higher than its average value) requires a brief high-power burst which would otherwise drive the output stage into clipping, the output stage switches automatically to higher-voltage rails in order to pass these peaks without waveform distortion. The amplifier's heatsinking is not adequate for maintaining the higher output power indefinitely, however, and is actually more appropriate for a lower-powered design. Nevertheless, with typical music program, the effect is of a much more powerful amplifier than its size and heatsinking would suggest (footnote 1).
And the SS-t does indeed appear to be a very powerful amplifier. On a short-term basis with a 1kHz tone, the clipping point into 8 ohms (defined as the output power where the THD+noise reached 1%) was 619.5W (27.9dBW, footnote 2), while into 4 ohms it raised 910.5W (26.6dBW). Into 2 ohms, I measured an astonishing 1087W (footnote 3) at 1% THD (24.3dBW). Though these clipping power figures are better than the amplifier's specification, which describes the SS-t's maximum power as 575W into 8 ohms (27.6dBW), 900W into 4 ohms (26.5dBW), and 1000W into 2 ohms (24dBW), they must be regarded as approximate rather than absolute, as, not surprisingly, the AC line voltage from the wall drooped at these very high power levels. Measuring 117.7V RMS with the SS-t not handling any signal, the line voltage dropped to 114.3V RMS with the amp clipping into 4 ohms and 107.2V RMS with it clipping into 2 ohms. For reference, RH had measured 608.4W (27.8dBW) and 878W (26.4dBW) into 8 and 4 ohms, respectively, for the same 1% THD point.
A final test I performed after the testing had been finished was to see how long the SS-t could sustain its specified power. It managed to drive 575W at 1kHz into 8 ohms with the distortion remaining below 0.068% for almost nine minutes before shutting down. This is excellent performance for this kind of amplifier design, implying that it will be practically burstproof under normal conditions of use.
Fig.1 shows the frequency response of SN 00428 measured at a 1W level into an 8 ohm resistive load. This is identical in shape to that mentioned in Robert Harley's review, a slight rise being apparent in the high treble, followed by a rolloff above 20kHz. This response was identical at 100W into 8 ohms and very similar into 4 ohms at the same voltage (ie, a 2W power level), though with very slightly more ultrasonic content. At higher levels into 4 ohms, however, a slight kink appeared at ultrasonic frequencies. Fig.2 shows the response at 200W into 4 ohms, plotted up to 100kHz, while fig.3 shows the response at 200W into 2 ohms. This is plotted only up to 50kHz, due to what I believe to be the amplifier's protection circuitry cutting off the output above this frequency. I suspect that at these frequencies and levels, I was approaching the edge of the SS-t's output-stage design envelope which, as implied earlier, appears to be optimized for the demands of real-world music program rather than for steady-state test tones.
Robert Harley found that the SS-t's output impedance was very high for a solid-state design, measuring 1.24 ohms at 20Hz, dropping to 1.16 ohms at 20kHz. My measurements of output impedance were identical, within experimental error, measured at an approximate 2.83V, 1W/8 ohms level. (The 1kHz figure of 1.2 ohms at this 2.83V level was maintained with the amplifier delivering a hefty 28.3V RMS.) My experience suggests that this high impedance will correlate with both JGH's and RH's opinion that the SS-t lacks definition in the bass. Whether it will prove musically problematic to other listeners will depend on the speakers they use. In my opinion, it will be less noticeable with well-damped sealed-box loudspeakers, for example, than with rather underdamped reflex designs, though Larry Archibald did note in last December's "Final Word" that he "was dissatisfied with it [the SS-t] on the bottom [of the Infinity Betas]."
These output power, output impedance, and frequency-response measurements suggest to me that the amplifier as auditioned by JGH was substantially the same as when RH had listened to it for his review.
Were there any other measurements which would correlate with any of the listeners' descriptions of sound quality? Looking at distortion and noise levels, fig.4 shows the values measured between 20Hz and 20kHz at 1W and 100W into 8 ohms. The curves are nominally identical above 500Hz, the apparently higher level of distortion at the lower level below this frequency being due, in my opinion, to the measured distortion sinking below the amplifier's noise floor. Note that above 2kHz or so, the THD rises above 0.1%, reaching 0.6% at the top of the audio band, which is a hair above the specified figure of 0.5%. The distortion level also rose with the amplifier driving lower-impedance loads, fig.5 showing the THD+noise at 2W and 200W into 4 ohms, and fig.6 that with the amplifier delivering 4W and 200W into 2 ohms. My interpretation of these graphs is that the Silver Seven-t does have a slight problem maintaining linear behavior at high frequencies into low-impedance loads. The levels of distortion above 2kHz or so might become audible with some kinds of music with the amplifier driving loudspeakers that feature very low impedances in this frequency rangethe MartinLogan Sequel II used by Robert Harley, for example, which drops below 4 ohms above 5kHz.
The superbly low distortion levels at low frequencies and high levels implied by the Audio Precision measurements were confirmed by looking at the spectrum of distortion products with the amplifier delivering a low-frequency (50Hz) tone at high levels. Even into 2 ohms at an 800W level, the absence of distortion products was excellent, as can be seen from fig.7. To examine the high-frequency linearity in more detail, I used a 1:1 mixture of of 19kHz and 20kHz tones, sourced from CD, using the Esoteric D-2 D/A processor which produces negligible levels of downband intermodulation products with this signalsee fig.20 in RH's review elsewhere in this issue.
Fig.8 shows the spectrum from 300Hz to 30kHz with the amplifier reproducing the two tones into 8 ohms at a 1W level. Any difference product at 1kHz due to the SS-t is below the resolution floor of the measurement system, while the sidebands at 18kHz and 20kHz are also vestigial. This is excellent performance. Increasing the level to 200W into 8 ohms, however, brings up both the 1kHz difference product and the sidebands, but not to any level that I would consider problematic. At high levels into lower impedancesfig.9 shows the spectrum with the amplifier driving 400W into 2 ohmsrather more sidebands appear, the highest of which measure 55dB with respect to the 19kHz level. The cursor shows the level of the 1kHz difference product at approximately 61dB, which is still low, however.
Finally, I examined the squarewave waveforms at a number of levels and loads. (No anti-aliasing filter was used for these figures, any ringing or overshoot being therefore due to the amplifier and not to the storage 'scope. The sampling rate was 250kHz.) Fig.10 shows a 1kHz squarewave at a 1W level into 8 ohmsa perfect shape, with a slight rounding to the leading edge due to the SS-t's ultrasonic rolloff. Increasing the power into 8 ohms (fig.11) introduces a slight overshoot, as does lowering the load (figs.12 & 13).
To sum up these measurements, I agree with JGH that Carver's Silver Seven-t offers an astonishing number of watts for its $2000/pair price. My enthusiasm must be tempered, however, by the fact that I feel that whether the amplifier's user will be able to exploit all that power will depend on a number of other factors, most important of which will be the kind of music he or she chooses to play. With spikey, transient-rich classical music or rock music with high-level drum tracks, the SS-t will deliver what its specification promisesall day long. But with music that more nearly approaches the steady-statesynthesizer or organ, for exampleasking for all that power for more than a few minutes will lead to a rapid increase in the heatsink and case temperature, with the result that the amplifier will eventually shut down to protect itself. This will be presumably more likely if the user pairs the SS-t with loudspeakers that are both insensitive and feature a low impedance.
Regarding its sound character, the SS-t's somewhat loose, not very well-defined bass can undoubtedly be attributed to its very high output impedance, in my opinion. I also suspect that the interaction between this high source impedance and the low load represented by the midrange/treble IRS Beta towers gives a voltage-divider action that usefully depresses the speaker's treble. This might help explain why LA was so impressed by the combination. On the other hand, the Sequel IIs also have a low impedance in the same region, yet RH was still bothered by the amplifier's sound in the treble. (I don't have any data on the impedance of JGH's Sound-Lab speakers.)
Whether the SS-t has a treble character or not is perhaps due both to its high output impedance and to what appear to be increasing levels of high-frequency harmonic distortion when it is asked to drive low impedances. Whether this distortion will be audible or not will depend on the listener's preferred listening levels, on the loudspeakers used, and on the degree of masking offered by his or her favorite kinds of music.
I suspect, therefore, that the Silver Seven-t's sound will be somewhat system-dependent; prospective purchasers should audition the amplifier carefully with their own loudspeakers and their own favorite music before making a final decision. In view of Gordon's finding that the SS-t takes a long time to reach its optimum performance, they should also ensure that it is fully warmed up by the dealer before any auditioning takes place.
It is possible that this follow-up review may be moot, however. According to a report in the industry newsletter Inside Track (Vol.VI No.21), Carver introduced a revised version of the Silver Seven-t at the June 1990 CES in Chicago. The Mk.II SS-t monoblock was said to feature a "modified transfer function" which, presumably, would affect the amplifier's sound quality, thus the relevance of both RH's and JGH's findings.John Atkinson
Footnote 2: Stereophile's convention for rating amplifier power in dBW is to subtract 3dB from the calculated figure when the load impedance halves. A "perfect" amplifier would then give the same dBW figure into any load, an easy paradigm to understand.
Footnote 3: The main 12A fuse was replaced with a 15A fuse for this measurement, as cautiously recommended in the owner's manual when the SS-t is to be used with very-low-impedance loudspeakers.
such explicit audio reviews nowadays..
Ah, the joys of collective agriculture!
May be Stereophile could review the new version of Carver Silver Seven tube mono amps ($32,000/pair) ....... They are rated 700/900 WPC ......... or, Stereophile could review the other less expensive Carver tube amps :-) .......
I thought Stereophile wasn't allowed to mention the brand name Carver let alone review their products.
Or has that passed?

Omaggio al Granduca
Florence, Palazzo Pitti, Tesoro dei Granduchi
24 June – 24 September 2017
A Gift for the Grand Duke - Memories of the Silver Plates for the Feast of St. John
"St. John's Plates": from silverware to plaster cast
The precious items in the Treasury of the Grand Dukes include a number of 18th-century moulds of the now lost "St. John's plates", a nostalgic echo of masterpieces of the Roman silversmith's art in the age of the Baroque.
The fifty-eight magnificent silver ewers were intended as a gift for Grand Duke Cosimo III (1642–1723) and, after him, for Gian Gastone (1671–1737), his successor on the throne of Tuscany. One ewer was presented every year on 24 June, the for the Feast of St. John, from 1680 until the Medici dynasty ended in 1737.
The silver ewers, weighing some fifteen pounds (or five kg.) and worth 300 Roman scudi each, were meticulously embossed and chased with scenes celebrating the most illustrious members of the House of Medici from Lorenzo the Magnificent down to the reigning Grand Dukes.
It was probably the fact that the ewers depicted the unusual subject of her family's history that prompted the Electress Palatine Anna Maria Luisa (1667–1743) to do everything in her power to safeguard them from the threat of destruction at the hands of the House of Lorraine, who succeeded the Medici on the throne of Tuscany and whose military expenditure meant that they were regularly strapped for cash.
The ewers were jealously guarded in the Wardrobe in Palazzo Vecchio, leaving the premises only from 1789 to 1791 for display in the "Medal Room" in the Uffizi. Sent back to the Wardrobe as their popularity declined, they set off down the path to oblivion. It is only thanks to casts commissioned by the Marchese Carlo Ginori and made in his Manufactory in Doccia between 1746 and 1748 that we can appreciate at least a pale reflection of their splendour today.

Dog Facts
Do dogs have belly button?
Yes, dog do have a belly button, but most canine belly buttons are not readily visible.
The main reason for many people thinking that dogs do not have a belly button is that canine belly buttons are very different from those of humans. While human belly buttons are easily visible, canine belly buttons are often nothing more than a vague scar.
They do not look like a hole in the stomach. Consider a dog's belly button, which is also known as the umbilicus. This is where the blood vessels from the placenta attach to the puppy before it is born. These blood vessels are important to life because they provide nutrition and help with oxygen and waste product removal. Once a puppy is born, it no longer depends on the blood vessel or umbilical cord. The mother will often eat the umbilical cord. It does not take a long time for the spot to heal. In a day or so, the area scabs over and it soon becomes difficult to tell where it was before.

Earth Day Should Be a Day for All Sentient Individuals
Not just the human ones
Earth Day is a sign of eco-awareness. But as Joan Meiners of The Arizona Republic wrote, it's rife with greenwashing. Companies scramble to appear friendly to our environment, while on closer look, many of their Earth Day proposals are underwhelming in terms of impact.

Ratings and Reviews
Only vendor I use
This will be my second time ordering from Nihaojewelry-Wholesale. The communication with Jane, my sales representative, has been great during the whole ordering process. I reached out when I noticed items out of stock on my order and she was able to find other products similar to replace the out of stock items. Great customer service and fast shipping! I will continue to do business with them!
If there was an option for zero stars, that would be my rating. I ordered a few things before with no problem. My second order has been a nightmare! My customer service agent "advisor" (they assign you one) is rude. She needed my phone number. I sent it to her 4 times and she keeps asking for it! I am ready to call it quits with this company. I get faster and friendlier customer service from the bigger wholesale distributors in China (the one whose names starts with Ali-). I'm starting a small business and was hoping to make Nihao my main distributor, but this lack of care in the needs of their customers by this particular CSA is just not worth the headache. It's not worth the gamble. She told me that if I don't send her my phone number (which iI did 4 times and have it in my profile) that the parcel company will destroy my items. How nice!! That's reassuring—NOT!
Wrong Product Received
I have been trying to fix this problem with order since May 31st! We have been over and over with this. Of course tracking shows delivery. A package was delivered! It was a small envelope, not 17 pairs of sunglasses. That small package is the only package scanned by the United States Postal Service. Why is this so hard to understand. This company is a fraud or made a mistake and does not want to fix the problem and send the right products. You will not even offer options to fix it! It not about the money. I am a optical shop and wanted the products to offer my clients and create a good relationship with a verified supplier more future orders which would include creating my own logo/brand. Your costs is good but you failed this test about integrity and that is most important. Thank you

hi sorry a lot for the delay ,could you pls send me your order number pls .also you could send message to whatsapp link of your adviser https://wa.me/message/6CT7X5ZVZBVIA1 or via email to email@example.com

Chris Daughtry, the founder of Daughtry, is just more living proof that you don't have to win American Idol in order to go on to have a stellar music career. In fact he came in fourth during the fifth season and he still went on to form a band that has managed to entertain a wide array of people over the years. He was initially given an opportunity to be the lead singer for the band Fuel, but he turned that down in favor of creating his own band. Some might have thought him a little foolish for doing this since inclusion into an established band would have been a smart move while trying to form his own was an uncertain thing, but Chris made it work and has been keeping it real ever since and can prove it by the awards that the band has won and been nominated for. He made the right choice to go off in his own direction.
Here are some of their greatest songs to date.
5. Home
What does it mean to go home? For some it's a firm setting in their mind that invokes a sense of comfort, a feeling of warmth and security that they can't get anywhere else. Home for some people though is a state of mind that allows them to be comfortable pretty much anywhere so long as they're allowed their peace of mind and the sense that they're surrounded by those that allow them to be who they really are. Home is an abstract concept in many ways that many people use in a lot of different ways. To some home is where they're at, while to others it's a place that has no set place, but a feeling in their heart that is found when they're allowed to be at ease with themselves.
4. What About Now
The human condition is not perfect as we already know. We try to do for one another as much as we can, we try to keep our own lives secure and moving in the right direction, but a lot of us also try to make sure that others are kept safe, secure, and happy in the same manner. It's not entirely possible to cover every corner of the world and make everyone happy, this much has been proven throughout the history of humanity. We're not a perfect species, but what we do in order to help others is what makes us who we are and allows us to finally become the people we want to be. Humanity isn't perfect, and it isn't meant to be, but being human to one another is the greatest ideal we can hope for.
3. Over You
Being over someone isn't as easy as it sounds, especially if you tend to spend a good deal of time with that person. Once you share your life with someone it becomes a part of your life that is hard to get back without remembering the time you spent with that individual. Getting over someone is essentially like trying to push a part of your past behind you so that you can move on. You try hard not to remember the good times, to ignore those in favor of focusing on why you left in the first place, but the human mind is a treacherous thing as it reminds you more often than you want that there were good moments among the storm of emotions that led to the break in the first place.
2. Waiting for Superman
It's not easy to be a good Samaritan, as not everyone appreciates them it would seem in a world where people want to be free to do what they want and those that aren't trained to help others are often seen as meddlers that should mind their own business. A lot of times it seem that we've forgotten what it means to be human, meaning that we forgot somewhere along the line how to say thank you to those that try to help rather than curse them for not minding their own business. And yet when someone helps us it's a better idea simply say thank you and go on your way, grateful that someone stood up in an effort to be a decent person. Waiting on a savior isn't the wisest move in life, but being grateful for the one that comes along is the best thank you that can be spoken.
1. It's Not Over
Second chances in life are hard to find depending on what you did the first time around, especially given that a lot of people aren't willing to forgive so easily. But the moment you tread the same road that got you in trouble in the first place you tend to end up breaking the trust of those that believed you could change. That kind of trust is rarely ever given again, and once broken twice is almost impossible to get back.
Daughtry is the real deal, no doubts.

European commission investigates Deutsche Telekom network upgrade
Tue 10 May 2016
The European Commission has announced that it will begin an investigation of the German telecom authority's decision to allow a vectoring upgrade to Deutsche Telekom's existing network. A vectoring upgrade would allow Deutsche Telekom to increase bandwidth available to users, and provide a higher degree of quality and reliability. The Commission, however, fears that these changes would unfairly affect competition and future investment in digital infrastructure, also known as the Gigabit Society.
Vectoring is the use of noise-cancelling technology to increase bandwidth speeds on an existing copper network, allowing users a significant upgrade to service without the trouble and expense of a full fiber-optic cable rollout. The problem is that existing technology only allows vectoring technology to be applied to an entire bundle of copper cables, preventing 'unbundling' of subscriber lines by alternative providers. If a competitor is buying data lines from DT, they would have no option to physically unbundle the data stream in order to manage their retail offerings, customer base and billing services.
The proposal by the German telecom regulator, BNetzA, provides for an alternative to physical unbundling by other service operators. Instead, they can choose between an active access product or a virtual access product. The active access product has technical restrictions that would make it a non-viable alternative using current technology; the virtual unbundling option would place limits on access by competitors that would weaken competitive pressure immediately and could have lasting effects on the fair market of the future.
Germany has one of the largest telecom markets in Europe, with over 118 million mobile subscribers generating the largest proportion of revenue. Deutsche Telekom is the leader in the broadband and fixed network markets; however, their market share has been declining as competitors like freenet, Vodafone, and Telefonica have grown. DT dominated the German telecom market in 1998 with 74% of market share, but that number has declined to 44% as of 2014.
In vectoring, the copper bundle is applied with an out-of-phase signal, which effectively eliminates crosstalk, or the noise that can occur through interference from adjacent cables or bundles. Existing lines are therefore set to operate at peak levels without being affected by adjacent cables. The result is higher streaming speed and quality, maximizing the efficiency of existing networks over the last mile of service. And while the European Commission recognizes that a DT vectoring upgrade would lead to significant broadband speed increases for many customers, their concern is for the effect that this upgrade could have on sustainable competition and building of the future digital infrastructure.

I have PROGRESS! My goals include actually RELEASING patterns, not just creating and mostly writing them. This week I released Rogue Charm to Ravelry; its FREE with code: RogueCharm until 1/20. After that I'll be adding it to my Etsy and my LoveCrafts accounts. I've started a 4th with fingering held double, and so far it looks GREAT!!
This year, I'm 2 skeins into my 200 skeins used (this includes stash AND new). I had a major moment in de-stashing this week too. I was able to move ALL my yarn into my closet with NO overflow into other areas (my ottoman full of my Grandma's yarn excluded from this). New soft goals include not having all the bins STUFFED to the gills. Baby steps, right?!?!?!
I've moved onto the 2nd sleeve of my "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" sweater. I don't have a new picture, so here is the yoke from a while ago. The sleeves aren't patterned and just delightfully blue. Once the 2nd sleeve is finished, I can finish the torso. I am strongly considering tubular bind-off for the sleeves, but DREADING a tubular bind-off for the body. I just keep telling myself it'll look SO NICE.
That sums up my week. I've been intentionally making time to get patterns written, treating them like a work appointment instead of an "I'll get around to it task". Hopefully this will encourage me to be more active with releases.

Part of the 60 Days of Poetry…Continued from Spin and Was..
Category: Able Source Adventures
30 Dollars for Parking
Intro: do I need to say this..Hey, I am back. Because I am gone and back and back and gone all of the time. I love the fact that not everything is to be loved about technology. We all know that is has its weaknesses and bad results can come from it. The rise of cyberbully movies( one called that from ABC Family), has us looking at how traumatized people can be over it. So, use this blog for good, and use your writing for good. Even when you express negativity and criticism it is a good thing if we can learn from it. So, hear me now. I am so busy but not busy enough. Writing has changed you cause at least you can read this, right?
I was just in Chicago a month ago. I love that place and have not been to many times. My cousin got married October 2015 and I was able to make a fun recap video with a tablet. A longer and much funnier story would have to be why I had a flip phone at that time. Thanks Dan for the tablet!
It was 30 dollars to park each night in Chicago in the week that I was there. I guess I don't go to the downtown often. And the funny thing was on the radio that week someone was saying that Chicago is the most expensive place to park. I wasn't even in downtown either.
All to say it makes me think that part of life is paying for something that seems unfair. It feels really unfair to give a hotel money and they say its a discount but then to pay just to stay at that kind of rate.
What are you going to do with the extra money? I mean, am I going to save that 30 dollars times 5 and put it somewhere that will have nothing to do with parking?
I am not sure. But what I feel like I am learning is how to be mad about the right stuff. It does matter where money goes. It does matter where it stays. I am not going to worry about parking. I would rather fly everywhere. With a cape. With superhero colors. My cape is being dry cleaned anyway so I am off super hero duty. Try to figure out if I am like that really small meta-human percentage of society and I can actually do something like that.
I am not paying for parking anymore, but I will pay to stay. To stay for the right reasons. To stay here and work it just a little bit more.
You can't develop and grow without it costing you something. So, here we go. It is time to work.
That Should Be Okay
Your intro usually is like one of those introductions where you say, "Hey, I told you we would talk and stay in touch, but I haven't." Weird. AwKWAERD. Pause. After someone says that. "Hey, don't you remember me, we went to high school together?"
I was just in my hometown and I have been able to come back a few times in the last few months with my job, so just yesterday I met someone who went to Rocky Mountain but a few years older than me. So, 13 years later from that place and its still not akward.
That's ok cause all that matters is where you are now, right? That actually is never a reason to stop talking to people, but it can be, or it usually becomes that way. Your world is exposed. It is overly and vigorously exposed by technology.
Everything on me is hot. And if someone that knows me reads that line they will without reticence tell me how dumb that line sounds. My phone is hot. This 2010 macbook is hot. Everything is burning up, and burning with the sound of connection.
I haven't been the best person lately. I have also been the best I have ever been. 4 years ago my life was the worst it has ever been. 4 years before that it was halfway between the years of being the worst it has ever been. And 4 years before that was the beginning of leaving Colorado and staying up all night in Kansas City. Building the temple and changing myself night after night.
Some things are still the same and everything else is not.
Life has this weird notion of telling you to expect a feeling after something takes place.
The phone burns when you use it, so does your tv, and so does your computer. And if you take away those things you are left with yourself which usually can be the worst and most atrocious feeling. No drug, no girl or guy, and nothing really can save you from silence. Silence by itself is salvatory( not a word). It is a saving action only one who embraces silence can feel. That should be ok, but its not.
I spend more time writing the wrong sentence then the right one. I spend more time on what I need to avoid more of. Less caffeine for a lot of reasons.
.Less 3.45 cents on Starbucks. Don't ask me if that happens daily cause it has been. I travel, so that is my excuse but this has been going on for 4 years now. Help me with some advice. I am okay.
I want to tell you that telling yourself you will start tomorrow usually starts by falling asleep with that intention.
Easter was recent and its message is more recent. I did this not okay thing this year. I didn't go to church. I went to the Clipper's game then I went and partied a little bit with some really good looking person is as dead as…I am not sure. Should I say what is really going on in my life. Well, no I have not used this blog to journal. I have talked about a myriad of relational pains and tensions usually in poetry. It is usually the YOU that no one knows I refer to and for a lack of better encouragement it really don't matter.
I slept in. That should have been okay. It is okay. Church is not the definition of spiritual success, but if the reason for sleeping in is something else then the issue is not of attendance it is of intention. You are still okay.
Here's what I have not realized up until the last couple years of life. Most of my efforts to live right have been centered around the more than okay amount of information I have on the "LAW." I mean the bible. I mean LAW is a whole other blog post.
You know why Christianity is hard? Because you already know how to live and you day by day have the chance to do right( and be rewarded for it), but you don't, or you do, but when you don't you are not OKAY.
Your level of knowing the right thing does not increase your level of doing the right thing. So, in one sense, who cares what others see you do. No one really ever knows what my intentions are. I do think we can tell when someone is not honest, or not themselves in that given situation, but we also don't know how hard it can be for people to fake it and really be meaning well just because our tendencies revolve around putting on a show for people.
You are not okay, and you are okay. You are not going to be perfect ever, but what worries all of us is our fear of not being perfect.
You realize that fear is the worst of the emotions. Abuse would be the worst of pain in its many forms and what it produces in the heart of people. Anger misdirected is destruction. Anger in a right way is productive. Anger is a release of passion. It is a response to something not being right, but it is also a leach. And those leaches are not okay.
Here's my tension. I am in the airport. I am never seeing you again.
But when I do be okay with not being okay. Right now in your life you are more moved by what to avoid. Can you rip out the verses that make you uncomfortable? Can you actually come to the conclusion that if these verses go away so does the uncomfortable response you have when you read them?
Please don't talk to me in 13 years and tell me, "Hey, I think we went to school together." Cause we should be past that by now.
Smoke For You
At the turn of 2017 is the ten year anniversary of this blog. 10 years ago I was 21 years old living in Kansas City. Choosing, like a monk, to serve in the Temple. It was Holy and unearned. It was crazy and cult like. It has its criticism, but say whatever you want. I am not where I am if it wasn't for that place. I press towards a new day. I miss those friends and distance hasn't changed those memories. Often I am in touch with being a kid. Sometimes it feels immature. It feels like I am not letting go of pain and abuse. And even letting go of the good and the green. I was a spoiled kid living in Fort Collins. Having the mountains as my side yard. I wanted to burn. Burn with passion for something bigger then me. Here is the start of some thoughts on impact and looking back, as far back as you can go…
Cause I am hopped up on
Getting up,
Spent that child hood on
Getting understood,
On wearing a hood,
These memories are
Fresh, you got a lot of
Flesh, it was the way it was,
I thought smoke came from flames
It really came from the future,
I thought you were perfect,
Wings and all,
Here and gone,
Suitcases for Christmas,
Can't dismiss the need to
Leave this town,
I was hopped up on hope,
The son was missed,
We did want you to stay
But I still had some danger,
Everyone gets left,
Everyone gets lost,
Everyone has some flames
To still find.
Just kids was what we did,
Older sister to the rescue,
Telling me to abandon
To hide a little bit longer
Beneath the surface,
I remember Scarface,
I remember Casino,
I remember that kind of life
Could never fit the knife,
Wealth is like a movie,
Credits are gonna roll,
This has no ending,
Hell is like the beginning of
All the endings you get to skip
The flames judge the smoke,
It seems to be a joke,
But I am no superman without
A city,
A city to save, a city to slave,
A city to cut, a city in a rut,
A city like we were kids,
Rescue, that was you,
Curfew that was me,
I played it safe for you,
I loved out late,
I held on,
I waited at the gate,
Smoke is my friend
Cause at least I got
Some energy for you
To catch,
Joy is my mind resting
At night, or peace when
It rains,
No umbrella to claim,
The end of this is
Where you start,
I waited months to
Write this,
I am in between,
I am over the sea,
I am smoke, don't
You see?
I want the flame, I want you
To see this, see it burn,
See it up top,
Hopped up,
Top of the tree,
Like a star shining
I am ready for the fire,
Its all burning anyway
Perfection, Part 1
You could say we all start a lot of things we don't finish. In the blogging world it has to do with starting what you write and not getting to that finale of pressing publish.
I can't say that it has been an easy journey. You should see the hundreds and hundreds of notes on Evernote. I just got my computer fixed a few weeks ago. The same Mac that I got three years ago. You would think that writing would just be much easier because this battery can stand not being plugged in, but I can't.
I am not plugged in. I am a lose wire attached to something that is called the source.
I am telling you now that your life is about to get wild.
I am afraid of people that I know, knowing what is really said on this thing. I am afraid they will find me and corner me and tell me how imperfect I am.
Distance and disappointment go together. The closer you get to something that doesn't let you down the less likely you are to have distance. However, when people disappoint you and church lets you down, then, the instinct kicks in. The run or stay instinct.
Let us just get real honest here. I am about to turn 31 years old. This blog started almost a decade ago when I was 21. I have spent a lot of time thinking more than I have actually acted on those thoughts. Reading Making Ideas Happen in 2012 helped me understand that creativity feels like a tormented assent to the summit but without organization you will be calling home wanting to come down from that mountain.
I am not sure how to fit in anymore. I am not as attached to getting everyone around me to understand what I have to say. However, I need people. I need perfection. I need the things that every soul needs.
Perfection is the journey. We don't pursue being perfect. We pursue the one who is perfect. That famous verse: Be perfect, for my Heavenly Father is perfect.
That verse is inserted in the Sermon on the Mount. The ultimate sermon on human behavior. The ultimate climax of colliding with your depravity. The ultimate picture of perfection.
Jesus is the perfection we seek. When people hurt us. When we lose perspective on eternity we lose this pursuit.
Emotional health has been a huge part of the church I go to. It has been a centerpiece in how I have approached my mind, and my relationships.
Perfection is what is in process.
Shine Along
Nephews, people, family, work, traveling, saying goodbye to my best pal Benji( still friends though) and just getting back into editing because this Mac is BACK!
Shine Along should really end: To Be Continued. There will be more to express and more to digress. We are to fight for light. Fearfully and wonderfully made we are. We are all feeling the confusion with the election time. God holds the answers and we are His ambassadors.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Representatives Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., and Joe Cunningham, D-S.C., today introduced legislation to require the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to swiftly brief key Members of Congress if the DNI determines, with moderate or high confidence, that a foreign government is deliberately seeking to kill or severely injure U.S. servicemembers. This will enable Congress to take appropriate action to deter and respond to such conduct.
The Murphy-Cunningham legislation, called the Deadly Escalation by Foreign Entities Notification and Disclosure (DEFEND) Act, is the first bill introduced in Congress in response to credible U.S. intelligence reporting that a Russian military intelligence unit paid bounties to Taliban-linked militants to encourage those militants to kill American and coalition troops operating in Afghanistan. When this intelligence reporting was made public, the Trump administration invited some congressional Republicans and congressional Democrats to the White House to be informally briefed on the matter. Republicans and Democrats were briefed separately, giving a partisan sheen to a national security issue of critical importance to all Americans.
"When our brave servicemembers are targeted or threatened, it is our duty to protect them and hold the perpetrators accountable," said Murphy, a former national security specialist at the Department of Defense under President George W. Bush. "If the U.S. intelligence community has credible reasons to believe a foreign government is conducting or sponsoring lethal attacks against our servicemembers, Congress should immediately be notified so we can take all appropriate steps—on a bipartisan basis—to protect our troops."
"The safety and security of American servicemembers is my top priority in Congress and should never be politicized," said Cunningham. "If American soldiers are being targeted abroad, we must work together in a nonpartisan manner to hold those responsible to account. This legislation will give Congress the information necessary to protect American lives."
Under the DEFEND Act, the DNI would be required to provide a classified briefing to top congressional leaders in the House and Senate, the intelligence committees, and the armed services committees within 14 days of the DNI determining, with moderate or high confidence, that officials or agents of a foreign government—with which the United States is not at war—are deliberately seeking to kill or cause serious bodily injury to U.S. servicemembers though direct or indirect means, including through payments to terrorist or criminal organizations. In making this determination, the DNI would consult with other elements of the intelligence community, such as the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Under the Murphy-Cunningham bill, the classified briefings to Congress would include:
- A description of the nature and extent of the foreign government's effort to target U.S. servicemembers.
- An assessment of the specific officials, entities, and agencies within the foreign government that ordered, authorized, or had knowledge of the effort.
- An assessment of the foreign government's motivations for undertaking the effort.
- An assessment of whether the foreign government's effort was a substantial factor in the death or serious bodily injury of any United States servicemember.
Once this initial briefing is provided, the DNI would be required to provide updated congressional briefings on a quarterly basis until such time as the DNI determines that the foreign government is no longer targeting U.S. servicemembers. The bill requires all congressional briefings to be provided in a manner that is consistent with the protection of intelligence sources and methods.
The information provided to Congress would enable congressional leaders, on a bipartisan basis, to make better informed decisions relating to authorizing legislation, appropriations legislation, and oversight of the executive branch.
The DEFEND Act is modeled on a bipartisan provision, strongly supported by Murphy and Cunningham, that was enacted as part of the most recent Intelligence Authorization Act. It requires the DNI to brief certain Members and committees of Congress if the DNI determines, with moderate or high confidence, that a foreign government is seeking to influence a federal election by means of a significant cyber intrusion or active measures campaign. See 50 U.S.C. 3371a.

Categories in Objective-PHP
About Categories
Categories allow the programmer to add methods to classes at runtime. Once a method is added to a class via a Category it is available to all instances of objects of that class from then on. Another important factor of Categories is that they allow the programmer to add methods to classes which are defined in external Frameworks or libraries.
Both class and instance methods can be added to objects, and new instance variables cannot be defined. This is a restriction of Objective-C (as once a class has been compiled its ivars become a C struct of which one is created per class instance and hence adding new ivars at runtime would mean having to change the size of this struct, and this isn't trivial. Since this restriction does not exist in PHP it would be possible to add ivars via Categories but this features is not currently planned).
Categories override methods with the same Selector that are already defined in a class.
In ObjPHP categories are implemented in a way that means as the parser comes across a definition of one, it creates the necessary runtime calls in the output source to thus add the new methods to the specified objects at runtime.
Implementation Detail
- An anonymous function is created with the method definition given.
The method handle is added to the Class object into the Dispatch Table using
addMethodWithMethodName()defined in
_runtimeclass, see Runtime for more).
Now when
objphp_msgSendis called to send a message (and asks the receiver if it has the method that implements the given message), the dispatch table is checked and the message is either called from the pointer there or from the actual class methods (the ones that were known at compile time). Since categories can only be added after the class has been defined categories implicity override methods defined in the class.

Hop behind the wheel of the North American production version of Audi's electric E-Tron SUV.
Meet the all-electric 2019 Audi E-Tron SUV.
The E-Tron battles other electric SUVs like the Jaguar I-Pace, Mercedes-Benz EQC and Tesla Model X.
The regenerative brakes are so strong you barely need to use the mechanical stoppers.
Power comes from a pair of electric motors at each axle, delivering 355 total system horsepower.
Audi equips the E-Tron with 150-kilowatt-hour DC fast charging.
You get LED headlights, too.
Unlike some EVs, the E-Tron has a grille.
It's a closed-off grille, though, for better aerodynamics.
The Audi E-Tron is priced from $75,795.

During their primes, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird were some of the best basketball players to ever touch the court. Since then they've both remained in the sport with Jordan owning the Charlotte Hornets and Larry Bird the president of the Indiana Pacers. So who would win if they played one-on-one today?
Larry Bird was on the Dan Patrick Show and was asked that very question.
When asked, and it pained him to admit this, Bird admitted Michael Jordan would "kill me" in a game of one-on-one. You can feel the competitive Bird know it, and still hate to admit it.
Bird admitted that he is heavier now and has let himself go. Jordan isn't in his 1980-90's shape either but he's still got it as he proved in numerous videos that have surfaced and he said he beats his own Hornets players.
If this were 30 years ago, it's a far more entertaining question.

Effects of Material Type, Surface Roughness, Compressibility, Shape, Gender, Age and Sense Modality on Perception of Automotive Interior Materials
Technical Paper
ISSN: 0148-7191, e-ISSN: 2688-3627
Published April 12, 2010 by SAE International in United States
Annotation ability available
Language: English
This paper presents the results of an experimental study conducted to evaluate the effects of four material characteristics and two driver characteristics on the perception of automotive interior materials. The perceptual characteristics of the materials were measured using two sensing conditions, namely, visual sensing only and combined visual and tactile sensing. The experiments were conducted using the Taguchi's L16 orthogonal array with seven independent variables, namely material type, surface roughness, compressibility, driver's age, driver's gender, and sensing method. Twenty-four subjects participated in the experiments. Each subject was asked to evaluate four treatment combinations and provide ratings using seven 5-point semantic differential scales. In addition, physical measurements were made on surface roughness, coefficient of friction, and compressibility. This paper presents the results and discussion of a) the correlation models developed between the seven factors chosen for the Taguchi experiment and the subjective data and b) the relationship developed between the subjective rating and the measured physical characteristics measurements.

JUAREZ, Mex. (KTSM) — Juarez artist and social activist Isabel Cabanillas DeLaTorre was found murdered around 2 a.m. Saturday morning in downtown Juarez.
DeLaTorre,26, was known for working toward women's rights and was active in justice movements against the femicides in Juarez, specifically maquiladora workers.
Her family initially reported her missing, but later discovered she'd been shot multiple times on Inocente Ochoa and Francisco y Madero in Downtown.
Family, friends, and fellow activists joined Sunday morning at the Benito Juarez Monument in Downtown Juarez to call attention to her death and ask for justice in the case.
