Abraham's family by Keturah, His death and burial. (1-10) God blesses Isaac The descendants of Ishmael. (11-18) The birth of Esau and Jacob. (19-26) The different characters of Esau and Jacob. (27,28) Esau despises and sells his birth-right. (29-34)
Verses 1-10 All the days, even of the best and greatest saints, are not remarkable days; some slide on silently; such were these last days of Abraham. Here is an account of Abraham's children by Keturah, and the disposition which he made of his estate. After the birth of these sons, he set his house in order, with prudence and justice. He did this while he yet lived. It is wisdom for men to do what they find to do while they live, as far as they can. Abraham lived 175 years; just one hundred years after he came to Canaan; so long he was a sojourner in a strange country. Whether our stay in this life be long or short, it matters but little, provided we leave behind us a testimony to the faithfulness and goodness of the Lord, and a good example to our families. We are told that his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him. It seems that Abraham had himself brought them together while he lived. Let us not close the history of the life of Abraham without blessing God for such a testimony of the triumph of faith.
Verses 11-18 Ishmael had twelve sons, whose families became distinct tribes. They peopled a very large country that lay between Egypt and Assyria, called Arabia. The number and strength of this family were the fruit of the promise, made to Hagar and to Abraham, concerning Ishmael.
Verses 19-26 Isaac seems not to have been much tried, but to have spent his days in quietness. Jacob and Esau were prayed for; their parents, after being long childless, obtained them by prayer. The fulfilment of God's promise is always sure, yet it is often slow. The faith of believers is tried, their patience exercised, and mercies long waited for are more welcome when they come. Isaac and Rebekah kept in view the promise of all nations being blessed in their posterity, therefore were not only desirous of children, but anxious concerning every thing which seemed to mark their future character. In all our doubts we should inquire of the Lord by prayer. In many of our conflicts with sin and temptation, we may adopt Rebekah's words, "If it be so, why am I thus?" If a child of God, why so careless or carnal? If not a child of God, why so afraid of, or so burdened with sin?
Verses 27-28 Esau hunted the beasts of the field with dexterity and success, till he became a conqueror, ruling over his neighbours. Jacob was a plain man, one that liked the true delights of retirement, better than all pretended pleasures. He was a stranger and a pilgrim in his spirit, and a shepherd all his days. Isaac and Rebekah had but these two children, one was the father's darling, and the other the mother's. And though godly parents must feel their affections most drawn over towards a godly child, yet they will not show partiality. Let their affections lead them to do what is just and equal to every child, or evils will arise.
Verses 29-34 We have here the bargain made between Jacob and Esau about the right, which was Esau's by birth, but Jacob's by promise. It was for a spiritual privilege; and we see Jacob's desire of the birth-right, but he sought to obtain it by crooked courses, not like his character as a plain man. He was right, that he coveted earnestly the best gifts; he was wrong, that he took advantage of his brother's need. The inheritance of their father's worldly goods did not descend to Jacob, and was not meant in this proposal. But it includeth the future possession of the land of Canaan by his children's children, and the covenant made with Abraham as to Christ the promised Seed. Believing Jacob valued these above all things; unbelieving Esau despised them. Yet although we must be of Jacob's judgment in seeking the birth-right, we ought carefully to avoid all guile, in seeking to obtain even the greatest advantages. Jacob's pottage pleased Esau's eye. "Give me some of that red;" for this he was called Edom, or Red. Gratifying the sensual appetite ruins thousands of precious souls. When men's hearts walk after their own eyes, ( Job 31:7 ) , and when they serve their own bellies, they are sure to be punished. If we use ourselves to deny ourselves, we break the force of most temptations. It cannot be supposed that Esau was dying of hunger in Isaac's house. The words signify, I am going towards death; he seems to mean, I shall never live to inherit Canaan, or any of those future supposed blessings; and what signifies it who has them when I am dead and gone. This would be the language of profaneness, with which the apostle brands him, ( Hebrews 12:16 ) ; and this contempt of the birth-right is blamed, ver. ( 34 ) . It is the greatest folly to part with our interest in God, and Christ, and heaven, for the riches, honours, and pleasures of this world; it is as bad a bargain as his who sold a birth-right for a dish of pottage. Esau ate and drank, pleased his palate, satisfied his appetite, and then carelessly rose up and went his way, without any serious thought, or any regret, about the bad bargain he had made. Thus Esau despised his birth-right. By his neglect and contempt afterwards, and by justifying himself in what he had done, he put the bargain past recall. People are ruined, not so much by doing what is amiss, as by doing it and not repenting of it.
Genesis 25:1-6 . SONS OF ABRAHAM.
1. Abraham took a wife--rather, "had taken"; for Keturah is called Abraham's concubine, or secondary wife ( 1 Chronicles 1:32 ); and as, from her bearing six sons to him, it is improbable that he married after Sarah's death; and also as he sent them all out to seek their own independence, during his lifetime, it is clear that this marriage is related here out of its chronological order, merely to form a proper winding up of the patriarch's history.
5, 6. Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac . . . unto the sons of the concubines . . . Abraham gave gifts--While the chief part of the inheritance went to Isaac; the other sons (Ishmael included) migrated to "the East country," that is, Arabia, but received each a portion of the patrimony, perhaps in cattle and other things; and this settlement of Abraham's must have given satisfaction, since it is still the rule followed among the pastoral tribes.
Genesis 25:7-11 . DEATH OF ABRAHAM.
7. these are the days of . . . Abraham--His death is here related, though he lived till Jacob and Esau were fifteen years, just one hundred years after coming to Canaan; "the father of the faithful," "the friend of God" [ James 2:23 ], died; and even in his death, the promises were fulfilled (compare Genesis 15:15 ). We might have wished some memorials of his deathbed experience; but the Spirit of God has withheld them--nor was it necessary; for (see Matthew 7:16 ) from earth he passed into heaven ( Luke 16:22 ). Though dead he yet liveth ( Matthew 22:32 ).
9, 10. his sons . . . buried him--Death often puts an end to strife, reconciles those who have been alienated, and brings rival relations, as in this instance, to mingle tears over a father's grave.
Genesis 25:12-18 . DESCENDANTS OF ISHMAEL. Before passing to the line of the promised seed, the historian gives a brief notice of Ishmael, to show that the promises respecting that son of Abraham were fulfilled--first, in the greatness of his posterity (compare Genesis 17:20 ); and, secondly, in their independence.
18. he died--rather, "it [their lot] fell" in the presence of his brethren (compare Genesis 16:12 ).
Genesis 25:19-34 . HISTORY OF ISAAC.
19. these are the generations--account of the leading events in his life.
21. Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife--Though tried in a similar way to his father, he did not follow the same crooked policy. Twenty years he continued unblessed with offspring, whose seed was to be "as the stars" ( Genesis 26:4 ). But in answer to their mutual prayers ( 1 Peter 3:7 ), Rebekah was divinely informed that she was to be the mother of twins, who should be the progenitors of two independent nations; that the descendants of the younger should be the more powerful and subdue those of the other ( Romans 9:12 , 2 Chronicles 21:8 ).
27. the boys grew--from the first, opposite to each other in character, manners, and habits.
28. The parents were divided in their affection; and while the grounds, at least of the father's partiality, were weak, the distinction made between the children led, as such conduct always does, to unhappy consequences.
29. Jacob sod pottage--made of lentils or small beans, which are common in Egypt and Syria. It is probable that it was made of Egyptian beans, which Jacob had procured as a dainty; for Esau was a stranger to it. It is very palatable; and to the weary hunter, faint with hunger, its odor must have been irresistibly tempting.
31. Jacob said, Sell me . . . thy birthright--that is, the rights and privileges of the first-born, which were very important, the chief being that they were the family priests ( Exodus 4:22 ) and had a double portion of the inheritance ( Deuteronomy 21:17 ).
32. Esau said . . . I am at the point to die--that is, I am running daily risk of my life; and of what use will the birthright be to me: so he despised or cared little about it, in comparison with gratifying his appetite--he threw away his religious privileges for a trifle; and thence he is styled "a profane person" ( Hebrews 12:16 ; also Job 31:7 Job 31:16 , 6:13 , Philippians 3:19 ). "There was never any meat, except the forbidden fruit, so dear bought, as this broth of Jacob" [BISHOP HALL].

HR24-200 Sibilance

What would you look for with the scope?
Posted 14 October 2012 - 06:17 PM
You may well be right but how did you determine the problem is with all HR24s and not just yours? As you have noted, there hasn't been a general outcry against the sibilance you hear in your system. There are some very picky people on this forum. Why has no one else complained? You aren't the only audiophile here.It may have been a missed opportunity but we discussed many things, including swapping one to try and it was my call not to do this (I do not believe that the problem is with one HR24 but with them all).
Posted 14 October 2012 - 08:52 PM
I was hoping to play pink noise through two sources and using my RTA to demonstrate a measurable effect to the technician but since he verified he heard the issue and he could not tell me how to access the same FLAC file we could not do this.
What would you look for with the scope?
Everything, I would also run FFT on it (it's a digital scope) and get all freqs going thru.

I suspect you just aren't going to be happy with DirecTV's audio on your equipment. Your description sounds to me like a complaint about compression. I think your best bet is going to be to apply EQ (like the THX roll-off) to make it more pleasing.
Posted 15 October 2012 - 09:49 AM
Yes, I have tried the direct analog feed to the Dared and the problem persists. the problem persists in no other attached peripheral, only the DRV regardless of source.
Has anyone tried different HDMI cables?
You've tested that the problem remains when you connect the DVR to your preamp with analog cables. This eliminates the HDMI cable or anything involving your TV from being the cause.
If you want to compensate for the problem, downstream EQ or processing will be more predictable and effective than cable changes.
Posted 15 October 2012 - 09:56 AM
Agreed, I think it's his sound system.
That wasn't the point that I was trying to make.
You may well be right but how did you determine the problem is with all HR24s and not just yours?
This is the point that I was trying to make.
Posted 15 October 2012 - 10:21 AM
There seems to be some confusion about how the rig is connected. I use the HDMI To pass digital audio to the TV DACs then the analog output stage of the TV (not the same cheap section that dries the TV speakers but the line outputs). This is a fixed gain output from which other sources are selected via the TV source. See below as to why I believe this is NOT the source of the problem.
I am using this configuration to select what I call elevator music since everything connected to it is either compressed or of non-high end quality and there is no point. (Why would one waste time and money buying an outboard DAC for MP3 quality?)
A good DAC might well eliminate your nagging problem, that's why. And a well recorded, well processed MP3 feed can sound just fine for TV. Why do you think the line output isn't as cheap as the speaker outputs?
You have tried, no, hearing the sound through the TV speakers? (shudder.)
You have swapped your HDMI cables AND ports on the TV?
Posted 15 October 2012 - 12:35 PM
In general, it is very compressed and with poor response at the frequency extremes.
But this is a problem of the source, not the format. I've heard great sound on some programs. Palladia generally has pretty good sound as everything isn't boosted to 0 VU all the time. There is dynamic range on many musical events on Palladia. Also, my local PBS feed can sound very good. Again, it's not driven as hard as a network channel is.
We should not forget that the PCM output of a DirecTV piece is 16 bit 44.1k, the same as a CD, and a farsight better than a MP3.
I agree with you, Laxguy. Especially if he is having problems, I wouldn't discount the possible improvement a good D/A converter can bring. I assume his TV has a Toslink optical output. He'd have to check, but that may well put out the digital stream that is coming from his HDMI inputs.
There is one remaining problem here. Putting a D/A after the television would eliminate his volume control. He's back to needing one. inline-phil, here's one by Keene I've looked at for years. You'd need to buy an American standard wall wart power supply but that should be under $10.
Posted 15 October 2012 - 01:13 PM
There's not much point in leaving it on if you're going to use a simple stereo connection. Dolby signals in the HR2x (and most all modern source devices) travel uniquely over the digital outputs and the RCA outputs (from the DVR or TV) are probably some sort of unencoded analog mash-up of that signal.sibilance is still there and i have tried many things but not turning off dolby.
GIGO is very much in play here. Putting a piano wire and a couple of cans (the TV DAC) between the source and the pre-amp is unlikely to be satisfactory.
As a check, you might want to see if the RCA outputs of the DVR sound any better than those of the TV. It is important to figure out if the sound is being colored by the TV so you know where to concentrate.

Well, Carl, since it is no longer 1998, and speaking as a long-time broadcasting Engineer I would have a very hard time agreeing with this generalization. It may apply to some lower-rated channels with low budgets or to SD-only channels that have not upgraded to digital audio chains, but I think the tendency even there is that things have improved greatly over the last few years.inline_phil does have a point about TV sound.
In general, it is very compressed and with poor response at the frequency extremes.
For medium-to-large market broadcast and for 95% of cable networks audio is sent as AC-3 and is likely processed through an all-digital chain prior to that. If not, it is likely processed in a high-quality analog equipment at certain stages. In either case, frequency response is characteristically flat between about 50 to 15K, and in most cases well beyond that.
Also, one of the benefits of digital delivery is that the dynamic range is much greater, and that there is not the need for the conventional level-compression that we saw with analog TV or cable. For most stations and networks, final processing is done very intelligently and effectively, and much, much better than it was just a decade ago.
Digital also allows us to not use compression as a tool to keep levels constant, which was the poorly-implemented goal during the analog era. New equipment uses sophisticated techniques such as BS.1770-2, which aims to keep dialog at the same level, and is exceptionally effective at doing just that. The implementation of the CALM act this year coupled with this technology will very-quickly make uneven audio levels a distant memory, while preserving full dynamic range at the same time.
(And if you were actually speaking about digital compression rather than dynamic range compression, AC-3/DD is far less compressed than MP3 and has a far better quality than MP3; about the only thing that can beat it, and not by much, is DTS. If you want to hear badly-compressed audio, go to satellite radio or Pandora).
Not all sources live up to these new standards just yet, but the vast majority do. Had you made your statement pre 911, I would have to agree with you. But its 2012, and things have changed greatly, at least for the most part.

inline_phil, have I got the deal for you!
(You know how many stereo salesmen it takes to screw in a lightbulb? Three, but that's today only.)
I got an email from Music Direct this afternoon and they have a great selection of the Pro-Ject Box Design units on close-out. One of them has your name on it.
I assume you are familiar with Pro-Ject, the Austrian audiophile turntable manufacturer. They also make the Box Design line, with a bunch of cool, very inexpensive, application specific, problem solving boxes for sale. I just bought the USB D/A to upgrade my computer sound. It's only $119. Unfortunately, not on sale is the Pro-Ject D/A which I recommended upthread. I'd buy one of those, too.
But for you, inline_phil, they have two very inexpensive remote controlled preamps on sale. Here's your opportunity to banish the TV's volume control from your system. I can guarantee either one of these puppies will make your video system sound a lot better. And if it doesn't, Music Direct has a 30 day return policy.
One is just $199 (reg. $350). It has only two inputs but does have a motorized volume control for the remote. The other has four inputs and an electronic volume control. It's only $249 (reg. $500). If you wanted more inputs, go with this one.
Do it, Phil. Buy one of these. The smaller one probably has an Alps volume control in it. It will sonically stomp all over the preamp/volume control built into your TV.

...of plastic remote for your TV to adjust your volume.
The better preamp is now sold out. I was looking at it yesterday to replace a NAD 1300 preamp that's stopped exciting electrons in one channel. I bought the NAD used 15 years ago for $130 so I can't complain. The less expensive preamp is still available.
I got in my USB D/A box. It's about as basic as it gets: a USB port and audio jacks. Not a switch on its metal case. I do like the aluminum faceplate. This piece has heft.
The USB D/A sold out in less than a day. BTW, mine is new. There is a model change going on. It seems the difference between the piece I bought and the new one is purely cosmetic.
I'll let you know how it sounds.
Posted 01 November 2012 - 07:56 AM
The old DVR was swapped today and it fixed the problem. Regarding the replacement preamps, the Dared I have is a bit nicer than the gear you suggested and it does have an RF (not an IR) remote volume control. Line level from the Samsung goes into this preamp, not the variable. At one time, I owned a Pro-Ject turntable and yes I am familiar with the gear. Nice to know that they are still making strides in the high end.
This technician (another one) was amazed at the difference the new unit made also being able to hear exactly what my complaint was.
I've only been watching/listening for a little over an hour and it sounds pretty decent, MUCH better than the old DVR.
Thanks for all of the suggestions and jabs. I am finally happy and that is what matters.

Tommie Allen with the Phelps Dunbar law firm from Jackson presented good news to the Drew Board of Aldermen at Tuesday's monthly meeting.
"A bond for $438,000 was purchased by Rural Development with an annual interest rate of 2.5 percent," said Allen. "The city will pay off the bond through annual payments of $19,649."
Drew ends up receiving nearly $2 million in grant support from various sources, including the United States Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and the Mississippi Development Authority.
Insufficient infrastructure has plagued Drew neighborhoods for a number of years.
"We are ready to begin the final steps and move forward," added Allen. "The next step is to get the bond validated by the Sunflower County Chancery Court and then begin the closing process."
City attorney Daniel E. Morris said if all runs smoothly, actual construction could begin within a few weeks.
"Everything is in place and we're good to go once the closing takes place," said Morris.
Rural Development, an operation of the USDA, is dedicated to providing a variety of programs to rural communities and individuals to promote economic and community growth.
Fixing Drew's severe water, sewer and street problems closely aligns with Rural Development's mission.
Drew will repay the bond through regular monthly water and sewer fees collected from citizens.
Thanks to funding support, Drew will also be able to extend city water lines to 80 houses further out in the county.
Fees collected from these houses will help repay the bond.
The line extensions will impact homeowners from the outskirts of Drew up to Miss. Highway 32.
Mayor Jeffery Kilpatrick said Drew residents are eager for the work to begin.
"We're just excited about what this means for the city," he said. "It feels great that the we're ready to begin. It's been a long process.
"I'm sure people of the city will be appreciative of the upgrades once they're complete. We're breaking ground towards progress."
Alderman and vice mayor Harvey Burchfield said the overhaul should provide an attractive facelift for the city.
"This project is a big positive for us and we need positive news in Drew," said Burchfield. "Anything we can do to attract more businesses and industry is a big plus.
"Inviting more business to our city will bring in some much-needed revenue."
Repairs to some of Drew's worst streets will also begin shortly.
Joseph Street, First Street, Shaw Avenue, Gertrude Avenue and Park Avenue are a few streets that will receive the most attention.
Sunflower County will also provide $25,000 to support construction.

Love all of these answers! Keep them coming!!
Love all of these answers! Keep them coming!!
The colors catch my eye at first, but then I take a closer look and love looking at all the previews and layouts made with the kit. The layouts are pretty much what sells me -- if I dont think I can scrap with the kit, no matter how beautiful. than I dont buy it.
I also love Bundles! I love clusters, but dont like to take all the time to do them. Fun word art grabs me too (since I stink at that).
I like to have a variety of papers in a kit, but I struggle with scrapping with patterns, so solids and texture always draw me in.
I like to be able to see the elements in the preview - sometimes you think something is there and it is just part of the designers signature. I love to see layouts done with the kit as that shows what elements are there and their size also. Love things that are different or unusual and not just several of the same recolored.
My answer is a lot like Amanda's. The preview is what draws me in. I am always looking for things that I don't have. I don't like cutsey wootsy stuff either, I dont know if that is because I like to Art Journal too and I prefer to be a bit grungy when I do that but I stay away from kits that are too pastel and have little animals and stuff like that.
I also prefer specific designers. I have three or four that I have just about everything they have in their stores (much to my husband's displeasure!) I've gotten so that when GDS puts out their collabs I can usually tell who did what elements or papers!
I too would rather have more elements as many times papers go unused for me...although I am trying to use each kit more.
Color is usually what grabs me first, elements are always a huge thing.
I do have favorite designers, and I always look at their products.
I always look at "ease of obtaining" I have stopped looking at or buying from sites that I have to spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how to obtain the page displayed or cost too much for what is offered.
I never look at pages, etc. that have whimsical, silly items like teddy bears and funny creatures. I Do NOT look at pages that are busy and piled with items. On the sample layouts I look for and like a place to journal or tell something about the picture posted. I do Not like a picture frame to be half out either side or both sides. I always look at vintage, old, antique, and heritage items.
I love:
newspaper looking pages, items, and I have special folders for it,
scrolls and journaling to be added to pages for descriptions, etc.,
tourquoise, aqua items and many, many more.
I have a folder for special sites that have incredible downloads, and a folder I call Awesome--which has pages I am definitely going to use!
I do think I am a collector and have enough for 3 lifetimes.
I already answered how I choose kits....but I have a suggestion!!! Today while I was scrapping, I was using a kit that had no greenery in it...so I had to go digging thru a bunch of other kit to find some greenery.
You know what would be cool...a set of basics....that had in it say a bunch of different greenery to choose from. There are all sorts of sets of frames, tags, flowers...stuff like that that can be purchased....but no greenery...I know boring...but it would be nice to have an assortment of different leaves, vines, etc thats in a go to set
anyway just a suggestion!!
I like criostirado's idea! I am a one-kit-at-a-time scrapper, but it is true that sometimes you want something specific, like greenaeries, that the kit you are working one doesn't have.
I would have to say the color scheme & the preview is what draws me to the kit. I am like some of the others, I don't like the same item, but in different colors. I like to see a variety of elements with a few papers. I don't like it when we have to purchase mini's to get everything. I also have favorite designers & you just happen to be one of them Jill. I hope this helps you out.

Rex Newell, of Rex's Antiques, looks at a cigarette dispenser during an antique appraisal event in 2008 at Matteson Public Library. | File photo
Updated: December 2, 2012 6:09AM
Spring forward, fall back. It's an almost poetic phrase used to remind the temporally challenged to set their clocks either ahead or back one hour for daylight-saving time.
But what does it actually mean? Do we really lose an hour of our lives in spring and gain it back in fall?
Well, that really gets into a philosophical debate over the nature of time and whether or not it's solely a human construction or dictated by the heavens.
But for the average working stiff, daylight-saving time certainly can seem arbitrarily unfair in March and a godsend in November.
Everyone hates "losing" an hour of sleep in spring, just as we all celebrate "gaining" an extra hour of shut-eye in fall.
No matter how you look at it, the fact remains that on Nov. 4, your clock will read an hour earlier than it did the same time a week before.
So, what are you going to do with that extra 60 minutes?
You can use the hour to …
Get something appraised
Hear professional appraiser Rex Newell, of Rex's Antiques, discuss current trends in the antique market from 7 to 8 p.m. Nov. 1 at Midlothian Public Library, 14701 S. Kenton Ave.
Have something at home you think might be valuable? Newell will appraise one handheld item for the first 40 people who register.
Limited seating is available, so pick up that phone and reserve your spot.
Information: (708) 535-2027, midlothianlibrary.org.
Finally enter the 21st century
Are you the only one in your family not on Facebook? If so, check the calendar. You may be surprised that it's no longer 1987.
While you're at it, check out the Facebook for Beginners computer class for adults from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at Orland Park Public Library, 14921 S. Ravinia Ave.
You'll learn how to set up a Facebook account and how to post, upload photos and more.
To participate you must have an active email account and experience using the Internet. Also, you can't already have a Facebook account.
Class size is limited to 10 Facebook newbies.
Information: (708) 478-5171.
Become someone else
Sick of your regular life and want to transform into a level nine paladin or an angry Italian plumber?
Take on your friends in the role-playing game "Dungeons & Dragons," the Nintendo Wii video game "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" and tons of other video and board games during International Gaming Day.
The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Nov. 3 at Steger-South Chicago Heights Public Library, 54 E. 31st St., Steger.
Sure, you'll use more than one hour should you decide to stay the entire time, but so what? You'll just gain it back next year.
Information: Michael Ayala, (708) 755-5040.

Super Cute!
Pros: Cute cake
Cons: uneven baking
I LOVE this pan. The only bad thing about it is that the top of the cupcake does not take as long as the base to cook. I have started baking them separately. I bake the base and when that is done and out of the pan, I bake the top half. Works the best for me. I also love to coat the base with melted candy coating to make a cute cupcake "wrapper" for my cake base. It slips right out because the surface is non stick. LOVE this pan!

Nouveau In Linux 3.20 Will Have A Lot Of Code CleaningWhile the Nouveau pull request has yet to be issued for the DRM-Next merge window that will ultimately target the Linux 3.20 kernel, a look at the changes so far appear to mostly indicate this open-source NVIDIA driver is just going through a period of code cleaning and reorganization. 8 Hours Ago - Nouveau - Nouveau Linux 3.20 Compare Your Linux System To The i7-5600U Broadwell X1 Carbon ThinkPadThe third-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon continues running well under Linux with its new Intel Core i7 5600U "Broadwell" processor sporting HD Graphics 5500. I'm enjoying this new ultrabook a lot and have been pushing it very hard for days with various Linux benchmarks. 9 Hours Ago - Intel - Intel Core i7 5600U - 14 Comments AMD FX-8320E Performance On LinuxBack in September AMD announced new FX CPUs that included the FX-8370, FX-8370E, and FX-8320E. Back then we reviewed the FX-8370/FX-8370E CPUs under Linux but at the time didn't have our hands on the more affordable FX-8320E processor. In December AMD sent over the FX-8320E and so for the past few weeks I've been happily using this new Vishera CPU. 10 Hours Ago - Processors - 65 Comments Debian 8.0 "Jessie" Installer RC1 ReleasedThe first release candidate for the Debian Jessie Installer in leading up to the Debian 8.0 "Jessie" release. 11 Hours Ago - Debian - Debian 8.0 Jessie - 7 Comments Chromebook "Rush" With 64-bit Tegra SoC Support Lands In CorebootCoreboot now has support for the "Tegra132" 64-bit Denver NVIDIA Tegra SoC as well as a new Google Chromebook that's codenamed "Rush" and using this NVIDIA ARMv8 platform. 12 Hours Ago - Coreboot - Coreboot For Rush, 64-bit Denver 2015 X.Org Elections Get Underway For Board Members, SPI MergerThe election process is beginning for selecting new X.Org Foundation board members and for allowing X.Org members to vote on whether they would like to proceed with joining SPI to become a sub-project of that organization so that they'll take care of the business and administrative tasks. Linux 3.19-rc6 Kernel Released: LInux 3.19 Final In Two WeeksLinus Torvalds released the Linux 3.19-rc6 weekly test kernel overnight. 07:44 AM EST - Linux Kernel - Linux 3.19 - 1 Comment 25 JanuaryUbuntu's Mir Gains Server-Side Platform ProbingThe latest big feature landing in Ubuntu's Mir display server by Canonical is server-side platform probing support, which landed just before the weekend. 05:50 PM EST - Ubuntu - Mir Android/Mesa Probing Broadwell Linux Ultrabook Running MUCH Cooler Than HaswellAside from the performance benefits of Broadwell, particularly in having greater graphics capabilities, laptops and ultrabook designs are much more power efficient than former Haswell products. Here's some quick tests I did today comparing the Broadwell-based Core i7 ThinkPad X1 Carbon to my former Haswell-based Core i7 ASUS Zenbook ultrabook. 02:44 PM EST - Intel - Zenbook vs. ThinkPad - 13 Comments LZHAM 1.0 Lossless Data Compression Codec ReleasedVersion 1.0 of LZHAM has been released, the lossless data compression codec spearheaded by Rich Geldreich, the former Valve developer involved in their Linux and OpenGL activities. 12:40 PM EST - Free Software - LZHAM 1.0 - 11 Comments LibreOffice 4.4 Is Coming Soon With New FeaturesThe release plan puts the LibreOffice 4.4.0 as being just days away, but what features are in store for this open-source office suite? Let's take a brief look. 10:28 AM EST - Free Software - LibreOffice 4.4 - 44 Comments Linux Compiler Benchmarks Of LLVM Clang 3.5 vs. LLVM Clang 3.6-rc1The release of LLVM 3.6 is expected next month as a significant step forward to this innovative compiler infrastructure. For those curious how its performance is shaping up, I've carried out some fresh LLVM Clang 3.5 vs. LLVM Clang 3.6-rc1 benchmarks this weekend. 09:04 AM EST - Software - 3 Comments How To Use GCC 5's OpenMP & OpenACC Offloading SupportWith the upcoming GCC 5 compiler release there is the offloading infrastructure support in place as OpenMP 4.0 and OpenACC compute offloading to accelerators begin to mature in this open-source compiler. For those willing to toy with the latest experimental code, it's possible to get your feet wet if you have a NVIDIA GPU or supported Intel Xeon Phi MIC card. 07:26 AM EST - Compiler - GCC 5 Offloading Linux Users Upset By Chromium's Busted HiDPI SupportWhile Chromium is usually quick to advance technology-wise and the Chrome/Chromium developers tend to be caring toward Linux, the support for HiDPI displays with the web-browser on Linux appears to be in bad shape. 04:07 AM EST - Google - Chromium - 60 Comments 24 JanuaryBPF Backend Merged Into LLVM To Make Use Of New Kernel FunctionalityThe newest LLVM back-end in the mainline code is for supporting BPF, the "universal in-kernel virtual machine" present in the latest releases of the Linux kernel. 07:46 PM EST - Compiler - BPF Backend OpenSSL 1.0.2 ReleasedVersion 1.0.2 of the OpenSSL toolkit is now available. 06:56 PM EST - Free Software - OpenSSL 1.0.2 - 6 Comments Intel Broadwell HD Graphics 5500: Windows 8.1 vs. LinuxLinux graphics tests of Intel's Broadwell hardware are finally here! Going back to November of 2013 is when Intel began putting out open-source Broadwell HD Graphics code. Since the initial Broadwell code drop, I've written dozens of articles to date covering the Linux kernel work, Mesa DRI OpenGL driver progress, Beignet OpenCL compute support, and other key Linux components work on Intel Broadwell support. A few days ago I received the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Core i7 Broadwell CPU to finally see how the Linux support has panned out for this next-generation line-up succeeding Haswell. 02:00 PM EST - Operating Systems - 36 Comments Dying Light Is Headed To Linux, SteamOSDying Light is a survival horror game developed by Techland. Up to now its release later this month has been billed as a Windows / PlayStation 4 / Xbox One title, but it looks now like it will premiere on Steam for Linux / SteamOS...

According to Bob Gault, public information officer for the Bradley County Sheriff's Office, the airplane was a small single- engine aircraft with two pilots on board. The plane reportedly left from the Collegedale airport in Hamilton County.
"The flight path took the plane over the southern part of Bradley County, which largely consists of rural areas," Gault said. "While flying over south Bradley County, the [plane's] canopy malfunctioned and as a result, one of the two pilots was ejected from the aircraft."
According to Gault, the other pilot was able to fly back to the Collegedale Municipal Airport. The pilot then reportedly contacted the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. BCSO was contacted around 4:15 p.m. as it was a part of the aircraft's flight plan and jurisdiction.
A search party was organized by BCFR and the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency. Additional aid was reportedly provided by a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter team.
Spence said an idea of where the body was located came from locating the phone of the ejected pilot.
"We pinged the pilot's cell phone, because it fell out of the plane as well," Spence said. "We also found half of the pre-flight check sheet. We kept working our way back toward town [in search of the body]."
Friday's search reportedly ended at 11 p.m.
"We had covered most of the areas which were open fields. We knew we would have to be in the woods, and there is a better chance of missing [the body] in the dark," Spence said.
He said the search party knew they were in recovery mode because of the height the victim fell from the plane. The search recommenced Saturday morning at 8 with help from the Tri-Community Fire Department.
"This morning we opted to start at the fire hall and work our way south," Spence said. "About thirty minutes into that, we found [his] hat."
Gault said both the BCSO and BCFR are no longer a part of the investigation.
"The sheriff's office does not deal with aircraft matters," Gault said. "Our main focus was not determining what happened, but trying to find the missing pilot."
Gault said names are not being disclosed at this moment. He said identification may be available to the public Monday.

Hello. I've been looking through the forums, and I haven't found anything relating to what I'm asking. I like the Ordo Xenos the most and lean towards the teachings of the Recogreators and the Xenos Hybris. I resent the illogical oppression of mutants and the unnecessary xenophobia towards aliens that aren't inherently hostile to humanity, such as the Eldar, Jokaero, and the Kroot. I also believe that humanity would be stronger if we used superior alien weapons.
Which Ordo do you like the most, and which philosophy in the Inquisition do you prefer?

Solving Isolation Challenges in Power Conversion Applications
This webcast will present solutions to isolation challenges in power conversion applications. Among the topics to be discussed are the limitations of traditional methods of isolation (such as utilization of optocouplers and pulse transformers) vs. more efficient and cost effective solutions that utilize digital isolators. If you are currently using optocouplers and pulse transformers, this is a webcast you should attend.

Signal Distribution
Mar 28, 2012 3:13 PM, By Llanor Alleyne
DVI-7335 by DVIGear is an HDCP-compliant fiber-optic transport system capable of distributing high-resolution DVI and HDMI signals over cable lengths up to 1.5km (4,920ft.). The DVI-7335 consists of an optical transmitter and an optical receiver, which support both multimode and single-mode fiber cables. DVI and HDMI input signals from a source device such as a PC, cable set-top box, or Blu-Ray player are converted into light pulses by an optical transmitter module for transmission over three strands of fiber-optic cable. On the display side, an optical receiver module converts the light pulses back to a DVI/HDMI signal for display on a monitor or projector.
Fiberplex's LightViper LV-DS08-P is a complete 8-channel bi-directional fiber-optic drive snake system designed for production use. It features two 8x8 drive units, one Neutrik tactical fiber cable (100 meters) on a reel, and all of the necessary copper breakout cables. The system will accept eight inputs from any analog or digital source, and can output eight analog and eight digital channels to feed analog amplifiers, powered speakers, or analog or digital speaker processor units. Use of the eight analog and eight digital outputs can also be conducted simultaneously.
The TwisterPro UTP transmitter/receiver system by FSR allows video, stereo audio, RS-232 data, and IR signal transmission over ordinary Cat-5, 5e, 6, and cable. Capable of runs up to 1,000ft., the TwisterPro system features wall-plate-style transmitters (one-gang and two-gang) and receivers (two-gang) in three colors: black, white, and ivory. Matching Decora trim rings are included for standalone use, or the units can be populated along with FSR's IPS component and plates for a complete interface solution. There are also brick-style housing versions that can be used on any surface or rackmounted using the accessory rack kits if preferred. TPRO receivers with skew compensation adjustments are optional and help adjust for misconvergence of the red, green, and blue video signals that can occur as a result of inherent delay caused by differences in cable twist lengths. The system can be powered at either the transmitter or receiver end by the optional power supply.
The Gefen ToolBox 8x8 Matrix for HDMI with FST (Fast Switching Technology) allows direct connections between different high definition sources and displays without networking. Any eight sources can be switched to any eight displays using this new matrix. High-definition resolutions up to 1080p full HD with 3DTV passthrough are delivered instantly when selected. FST is a Gefen technology that speeds the HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) handshaking process, which in the past could take up to 10 seconds in transition when switching between sources. With FST, those 10 seconds have been reduced to nearly no delay when switching sources, with high-definition video appearing on the display immediately with no latency. Installation is simple, requiring the connection of eight high-def sources to the eight HDMI inputs, and the connection of eight high-def displays to the eight HDMI outputs. Users can assign any source to any display, relaying video and multi-channel digital audio with no signal delays. The 8x8 Matrix for HDMI with FST offers local front-panel control, IR remote access and RS-232 for automation, IP control, and is a lower cost alternative to previous product offerings.
Gepco's V-Light Active Fiber Cable System, designed with easy-to-use copper connections, is a reliable and durable interface for high-speed serial digital video transmission over single-mode fiber with data transfer rates up to 1.485Gbps. Inside each weather-tight V-Light connector shell, the fiber is sealed and isolated, while the electrical signal is converted to an optical one (or vice versa). With signal transmission of up to 10km, V-Light active fiber cable assemblies consist of an exceptionally rugged and lightweight single-mode tactical fiber cable with V-Light connectors on each end. Completing the V-Light System, V-Light panels serve as beginning and ending points of the video signal transmission. Panels come with either two, three, or four panel-mount connectors, providing an easy connection with a fan out to BNC connectors.
IHSE's Draco Tera 48 and 80 series of switch matrix frames are the latest additions to the company's Draco Tera 160 and 288 series of HD-KVM technology matrix switch solutions. Now offered in four frame sizes, the Draco Tera offers non-blocking switch technology to handle digital video resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, 1080p60, and 2K as well as supporting USB 2.0, bi-directional audio, and serial data interfaces, while providing for a wide range of extender modules to fit any application. Each Draco Tera system contains an internal CPU that allows users to control functions via an onscreen display, a software user interface, or an RS-232 serial interface. Additionally, the Draco Tera can easily be configured through any third-party control system such as Crestron or AMX.

"Although I made the reservation at the last moment from the airport lounge before arriving in Bangkok, the hotel and more importantly all its staff members were fantastic in making you feel like you are welcome and appreciated. Effortless service by name right from the start, an upgrade to a large and very comfortable executive suite and great breakfast the next morning.

Ebert: News coverage, not movies, helps trigger Newtown-type tragedies

What's different about the Newtown Massacre? Not very much. On top of the Columbine tragedy, "The Dark Knight Rises" shooting and so on and so on, it still doesn't even have its own Twitter hashtag. I haven't had the heart to look for any theme music that has been drummed up for cable news.
Of course there are already countless reports among innumerable op-ed contributors. I can't even use that angle. Nor can I exploit my use of the word "angle." Nor am I much interested in "thinkers" from the world's pundits and pulpits about what this means, if anything, about American society as a whole. I have no doubt, of course, there have been media roundups on how Fox News has covered the story.
The tragedy has dominated the airwaves this weekend, but the networks haven't dropped many regularly scheduled prime-time weekend shows to make way for breaking news coverage. By now, however, the Sunday morning TV news talks shows have assembled their expert "panels" to speculate about the reasons for the deaths of 26 murdered people, 20 of them in grade school.
Is this a heartless, cynical way to appoach Newtown? No doubt it is. In my opinion, the most useful way to "analyze" is to recall reactions to similar incidents in the past. I would like to quote the following words from an article by me, as follows:
From his review of Gus Van Sant's "Elephant," a fictionalized account of a Columbine-like school shooting, here's Roger Ebert on the media's behavior while reporting these kinds of events.
Let me tell you a story. The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program. The reporter had been assigned a theory and was seeking soundbites to support it. "Wouldn't you say," she asked, 'that killings like this are influenced by violent movies?" No, I said, I wouldn't say that. "But what about 'The Basketball Diaries'?" she asked. "Doesn't that have a scene of a boy walking into a school with a machinegun?"
The obscure 1995 Leonardo DiCaprio movie did indeed have a brief fantasy scene of that nature, I said, but the movie failed at the box office and it's unlikely the Columbine killers saw it.
The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. "Events like this," I said, "if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. Kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn't have messed with me. I'll go out in a blaze of glory."
In short, I said, events like Columbine are influenced far less by violent movies than by CNN, "The NBC Nightly News" and other news media, who glorify the killers in the guise of "explaining" them.
The reporter thanked me and turned off the camera. Of course the interview was never used. They found plenty of talking heads to condemn violent movies, and everybody was happy.
This is Ebert again, back in the present. I gather my point is what goes around, comes around.
