5 Opinions
WAS a great app but has recently stopped existing.. Can't find any trace of the developer... No Lion support.... And the last version I have, 2.0, seems to be a real cpu hog compared to other (un)compressors. (try extracting a password protected rar-file and wait to enter password, see cpu going crazy, using like 177% just while waiting :p)
I really liked the simpleness of the user interface and the capability to compress RAR files
Recently came across an app called "Entropy". Very nice app, actively developed, (un)compresses a whole lot of filetypes (like 30), nice ui and a lot cheaper 19$ in stead of 8$+29$rarLicence
Think I'll be switching :)
great app.
It needs a few little tweaks to make it perfect one stop (compress & uncompress tool)
1) password database to draw from when uncompressing
2) removal of rar files after uncompress
3) some type of debug output when it crashes...
This app has some bugs on changing the default app for unarchive rar files. I can't set rar files opened with rarmachine, the setting always fails.
When I use this app on my Tiger computer, it says when installing the rar component "Impossible to extract file". I thought it was a joke until I waited about two minutes.
Just a FYI before purchase of this application:
It should be noted, that you will need to buy a separate RAR license (of which the copyright belongs to Alexander Roshal), if you wish to archive files using this program (or any other program using the RAR compression scheme).
Further info on how to acquire a RAR license (currently priced at $29) can be found here:
As of this writing, the current OS X version of RAR is RAR for Mac OS X 3.80 (direct download link).

2009 NFL Draft's All-Passion TeamSunday, April 19th, 2009
Passion for playing football is something you want an NFL Draft prospect to possess. Talent can only take you so far and you really have to want it to succeed in the NFL. Playing football for a living is not a career choice for very many people. It is, however, a job and like the rest of us, some players enjoy their work more than others do. A lack of passion for the game is one reason why a highly touted draft prospect can disappoint. Did WR Mike Williams of USC have a passion for the game? He obviously did not since he basically ate his way out of the league. The list is extensive of players who were born with talent for the game, but not enough interest to fully dedicate themselves. When talent and desire both are high the result is a special player like a Jerry Rice or a Walter Payton. The following is the PFDN list of 2009 NFL Draft prospects with the greatest passion for the game. It does not guarantee success in the NFL, but it sure helps.

By Captain Steve--
Notice the mirror-like finish that the Imron paint job develops after it's buffed over and over again by a full team over the course of several days.
Mission Statement
The mission of this 375 WA is to add overnight capabilities to a competent day boat with an offshore performing hull. She offers a comfortable cabin with a modest galley, wraparound seating for an intimate conversational atmosphere, and a head compartment separated from the main cabin.
Intrepid has a way of adding graceful curves to its boats that captivate our nautical eye.
Distinguishing Features
• Hullside Dive Door. This is a feature that Intrepid pioneered and since then, other builders have been scrambling to do the same. The door is fabricated separately, rather than using a cut-out from the hull as a door. It's engineered to open and close easily with massive hinges and latches.
• Completely Customizable. Virtually nothing is off the table. If an owner is willing to do his part and write the check, Intrepid will go to any lengths to fabricate whatever is desired. More often than not, that item will make it onto the options list for future models.
• Contoured Console. Picture a console in a mold and having to be popped out of that mold. For that to happen it has to be smooth, with no contour lines, and no curving corners. Separate molds leave seams that need to be sanded smooth, and gel coated, buffed, polished, etc…. And that is exactly what Intrepid does to build each and every console. The extra time spent, and man-hours do not seem to matter, only the end result does.
The very shape and design of this console precludes having it being made out of a single mold but that doesn't matter to Intrepid, only the end result does.
• Stepped Hull. All Intrepids are built with stepped hulls that add to the speed by reducing surface friction between the hull and the water.
• Separate Cabin and Head. The cabin is in the bow of the 375 Walk Around, but the head is in the console amidships. This arrangement has obvious advantages.
Here the step in the hull can clearly be seen. Its design draws air across the running surface to reduce friction and increase speed without the added horsepower penalty.
The Intrepid 375 WA features a double-wide helm and standing behind the seat for the ride is even comfortable and safe. Notice the slight curve to the hardtop that follows the graceful curves of her sheer line.
Our test boat was powered by triple 350-hp Yamaha V8s. There's 25" (63.5 cm) between the engines and the transom allowing plenty of room for them to tilt clear of the water. Notice how Intrepid puts an Imron finish on them to color match the boat. And as for that small door to the side…
...this serves as a great place to stash swim fins, a mask and snorkel. It measures 2' (.6 m) deep and is self-draining.
Engine flush out ports are a popular option on Intrepid yachts and allow the owner to connect a garden hose and cycle between the engines for a freshwater flush. Notice the large cockpit deck drain to the lower left.
The Intrepid 375 WA features a center console with seating to the right, an open cockpit with a retractable transom bench seat, and U-shaped seating ahead of the console with a double-wide bench seat across.
The cockpit leaves a lot of wide open space so if the desire is for fishing the 375 WA can certainly deliver from the stern. Full accommodations are made for fishboxes, livewell, and access to mechanical equipment.
A bench across the transom accommodates four across seating and stows out-of-the-way for fishing room or to accommodate a cocktail party.
There's no shortage of storage in the cockpit deck. Accommodations even include room for A) a mechanical room, B) a generator compartment, C) dive ladder storage and D) a livewell.
The hullside dive door, which has become practically synonymous with the name Intrepid, is to starboard, and Intrepid has improved on the design yet again. It opens by releasing a latch, lifting the door vertically, and then opening it inward and flush against the gunwale (hence the initial lifting). The hinges are spring-loaded but have more of a gas-assist feel, making lifting the dive door easy enough to do with one hand. A hatch in the deck exposes what may very well be the sturdiest re-boarding ladder I've seen to date.
My initial surprise at finding no shroud around the generator to reduce noise levels was tempered by the fact that the compartment itself is fitted for noise reduction. I measured 71 dBa with the hatch closed and 91 with the hatch open.
The back of the helm seat has handrails creating a comfortable spot to ride out to the fishing grounds while standing behind the helmsman. A center glove box is handy for storing sunglasses etc. Down low is an optional cockpit refrigerator.
The mechanical room keeps all of the vital equipment in one location for easy servicing. Here are all the bilge pumps, through all fittings, fuel filters… etc. The black box just behind the two bilge pumps is an electric ball valve that is controlled by a switch at the helm. It allows for draining the livewell when the 375 is underway.
The helm console is double-wide with plenty of room on the panel for dual displays and ancillary electronics in between. Ergonomics are excellent and I had good sightlines past the bow from the standing position, but as usual I feel it could be a little bit better with a 6" (15.24 cm) high flip-down platform. (Captain Steve is 5' 8.5'' / 1.73 m tall - Ed.) A plexi windshield did a satisfactory job of deflecting the wind around me.
The helm is double-wide and offers plenty of room for two large displays with room left over for ancillary electronics between. All of those pushbutton switches beneath the engine controls are not only waterproof but submersible to 15' (4.6 m). No we did not test that!
Next to the helm is a comfortable aft facing seat. Just to the right the steps to the side decks can be seen and these also make it comfortable to board and disembark the 375 from a fixed pier.
Even standing behind the helm is comfortable and safe with two powder-coated rails to hang onto, a glove box in between, and convenient drink holders for the beverages that will come out of the optional cockpit refrigerator below. There's even storage to both sides of the seats.
The double-wide helm seat has flip down armrests to both sides and the center. Underneath the center armrest is a storage compartment. The seats are adjustable electrically from a switch on the side.
Sitting was equally comfortable with a double-wide helm seat that included armrests to both sides and the center. A separate storage compartment is located in the center of the seat and adjustments were electrical with the switch to the port side of the seat.
Bow Seating
For lack of a better term, I'll refer to the area ahead of the console as bow seating. A U-shaped seat to starboard opposes a double-wide bench seat to port and these opposing seats make for an intimate conversational atmosphere. The U-shaped seating converts easily to a sun pad and I would definitely request an optional hardwood pedestal table to facilitate al fresco dining.
Wraparound bow seating easily converts to a sun pad and the area would easily accommodate a table for al fresco dining.
A double-wide bench seat serves as opposing seating for a comfortable conversational area.
The forward cabin has V-seating and a modest galley. The head is separate from the cabin, located inside the console.
The cabin features 6'2" (1.9 m) of headroom, and yes it includes a modest galley but it is appropriately sized and fully functional. A hanging locker to port even includes deep storage in the back for filler cushions that will turn the bow seating into a berth.
The seating in the forward cabin easily converts from a dining area to a sleeping area with the table lowering electrically. Hullside windows provide natural light and notice the wraparound storage up above in cabinets that take advantage of the bow flare.
Natural light also comes in from the overhead skylight and opening hatch.
The galley is small but fully functional. The faucet has a pullout sprayer and the sink is covered to add extra counter space.
Beneath the microwave is a refrigerated drawer internally lit with LED lights. Having a drawer is a welcome trade-off as items won't dump out on to the deck when it is opened.
Intrepid Boats correctly went with a design that calls for the forward V-seating to be set up for dining, and get converted to sleeping. The table electrically lowers and the aforementioned filler cushions take care of the rest. Hullside windows and a massive skylight overhead bathe the compartment in natural light. Up against the overhead is wraparound storage which I have always found to be an excellent use of space.
The head is located inside the console and this is a much more appropriate solution than having it located inside the forward cabin - privacy and ventilation being the main concerns that are addressed in this location.
A small button underneath the seat back electrically activates a sliding door, with the seats attached, allowing a spacious entry. Lest anyone have any concerns about this door sliding closed on one of the kids, rest assured that once it lightly encounters an obstruction it immediately reverses direction.
The head is accessed by an electrically sliding door just ahead of the console. The switches are at the bottom of the seat back.
Immediately to the left of the head entrance is a sink and vanity. Wraparound mirrors serve to show how rapidly a glamorous career as a boat test captain ages a person.
It's very easy to forget that this head is located inside the console as it has an amazing 6'7" (2 m) of headroom. To the starboard side is a sink and vanity, complete with a small seat, and mirrors on two sides. An opening port light allows for ventilation. To the port hand side (to the right side of the entrance) is an enclosed 3' x 2'2" (.9 m x .7 m) enclosed shower compartment and toilet.
The Disappearing Toilet.
As I looked at this arrangement it occurred to me that I've seen several showers with seats that facilitate showering while the boat is underway. I suppose that would be the case here but the toilet paper would need to be in an enclosed compartment to keep it dry. One can't help but feel that the shower would be much more spacious, and functional if the toilet were out of the way.
Intrepid Boats seems to agree. With the push of a button the toilet recesses into the aft bulkhead, out of sight and out of the way. It's this brilliant use of space that time and again marks Intrepid as one of the most innovative builders we've come across.
To the right of the entrance is the toilet that does a disappearing act to allow more room in the enclosed shower. Notice the teak and holly sole.
Access to the foredeck is via narrow side decks to either side. Rails along the hardtop make for an easy and safe transition forward. A skylight is in the center of the foredeck, and while I'm sure it can take the weight of walking across it, the surrounding decks are treated with nonskid so I limited my passage to these sections for safety.
The optional windlass is a must-have item to add to the order sheet. But I would specify a handheld remote as the switches are a little hard to access by foot.
Fully forward is an anchor locker that on our test boat was fitted with a windlass and anchor chute running through the stem. The controls were located in the corners and I found them to be a little inconvenient to get to so I would opt for a handheld remote. A separate pull up cleat inside the anchor locker is dedicated to securing the anchor rode.
The Intrepid 375 Walk Around has a LOA of 37'5" (11.4 m), a beam of 11' (3.4 m), and a draft of 2'6" (.8 m). With an empty weight of 14,000 lbs. (6,350 kg), 220 gallons (833 L) of fuel on board and four people we had a test weight of 16,110 lbs. (7,307 kg).
With triple Yamaha 350 4-strokes turning 15.25 x 23 SDS props we reached a top speed at 5800 rpm at 62.1 mph. At that speed fuel burn was a combined 96 gph giving us a range of 233 miles. Best cruise came in at 3500 rpm and 35.6 mph. That reduced the fuel burn to 33 gallons per hour which the 375 WA could keep up for just under 11 hours and 388 miles.
We reached planing speed in 3.7 seconds, accelerated to 20 mph in 6 seconds and continued accelerating through 30 mph in 9.9 seconds.
On accelerating, the bow comes up 15-degrees, which does block visibility to the horizon since the bow was so far ahead of the helm. Once on plane I found her to be more sensitive to the trim tabs than she is to the drive trim. So leave the trim tabs in the full up position unless compensating for an uneven distribution of weight or a crosswind run. And just a couple of shots of the throttle mounted engine trim will put her into her cruise attitude. In turns she leans 22 ½- degrees but her solid ride makes that feel more like 10-degrees. And when taking power off she settles back into the water and has a relatively level attitude.
I haven't been on an Intrepid Powerboats model that I haven't liked but this 375 WA is among the most enjoyable that I've driven.
Offshore Delivery
Now after the test, I had the unique opportunity to deliver this 375 Walk Around from Miami to Fort Lauderdale and ran offshore to do it. Conditions in the Gulf Stream were averaging 4 foot swells off the starboard quarter. Because no boat would be stable enough in these conditions to film this, all we have are pictures running the inlet after the ride offshore, nevertheless the ride was remarkably revealing.
Entering the inlet in Fort Lauderdale, just past the breakers, after an amazing offshore delivery.
Heading north from Miami I started at around 4000 rpm which had us running just over 40 mph. We were remaining very level and skipping from one wave to the next, occasionally catching air under the boat.
But since this was an Intrepid and I had one opportunity to really see how it performed offshore… I started advancing the throttles. At 50 mph she would catch more air under the hull and re-enter stern first with the bow slowly pressing down rather than slamming down. Still sensing that she had more to give I firewalled the throttles and remarkably we were running at 62 mph, the same speed as on the flat, through 4 foot swells.
Running the Inlet Fast
Coming into the inlet the seas were building against an outgoing tide and based on what I had seen for the last hour and a half, I decided not to slow down, but instead advance the throttles again. The first towering wave we hit, the 375 literally penetrated straight through it completely engulfing the entire boat in water, with the bow showing no tendency to stuff or lose buoyancy. It was exactly what I expected, and a remarkable testimony to the seaworthiness of Intrepid boats.

Coming to Yourself and Coming to The Father
And He said, "A certain man had two sons; and the
younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of
the estate that falls to me.' And he divided his wealth between
them. And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything
together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he
squandered his estate with loose living. Now when he had spent
everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began
to be in need. And he went and attached himself to one of the
citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed
swine. And he was longing to fill his stomach with the pods that
the swine were eating, and no one was giving
anything to him. But when he came to his senses,
he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough
bread, but I am dying here with hunger! I will get up and go to my
father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven,
and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son;
make me as one of your hired men."' And he got up and came to his
father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him,
and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced
him, and kissed him. And the son said to him, 'Father, I have
sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to
be called your son.' But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly
bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his
hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it,
and let us eat and be merry; for this son of mine was dead, and has
come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.' And they
began to be merry."
Introduction: Eagerly Awaiting
All of Luke 15 is spoken as an answer to the accusation of the Pharisees and the scribes in verse 2 that Jesus "receives sinners and eats with them." Verse 1 says that "all the tax-gatherers and sinners were coming near to him to listen to him." And Jesus was making a place for them at his table and encouraging them to stay and eat with him.
Luke uses this word "receive" (prosdechomai) six other times in his writings and every time it means "eagerly await or expect and look for." In Luke 2:25 Simeon was "eagerly awaiting" the consolation of Israel. In Luke 2:38 Anna the prophetess spoke to those in the temple who were "eagerly awaiting" the redemption of Israel. In Luke 12:36 Jesus says, Be like men who are "eagerly awaiting" the return of the master from the wedding feast. And so on. In other words, Luke 15:2 says that Jesus is not just receiving sinners; he is looking for them and eagerly awaiting their coming. He has his eye out for them. The word "receive" sounds passive. But Jesus is not passive. He is seeking sinners and tax-gatherers to come to him and eat with him.
So the Pharisees and scribes accuse him. And all the rest of the chapter is Jesus' explanation to them of what is really happening when he welcomes sinners and eats with them.
- The first answer in verses 3–7 is that his receiving sinners is like a shepherd who finds a lost sheep and celebrates with all his friends.
- The second answer in verses 8–10 is that his receiving sinners is like a woman who finds a lost coin and celebrates with all her friends.
And in both answers Jesus leaves no doubt about what he means, because in verses 7 and 10 he tells the Pharisees that the lost sheep and the lost coin represent lost sinners, and the being found represents repentance, and the celebration is what God and all the angels are doing in heaven.
And at that moment some get it and some don't. He is saying: I welcome sinners because I am the incarnation of God's love pursuing the lost. I am the shepherd seeking the sheep. I am the woman seeking her coin. And this meal that we are eating together is a little bit of what is happening in heaven right now, and a foretaste of the joy that is coming. When sinners turn from their sin and accept my fellowship as the joy of their lives, they have come home to God. And God is glad.
Luke 15: Lost and Found
Now in verses 11–24 Jesus gives a third answer to the Pharisees' accusation. When he receives sinners and eats with them, it is like a father who finds a lost son and celebrates with all his house. All three parables have this in common: being lost and being found followed by great joy in heaven.
- Verse 6: "Rejoice with me for I have found my sheep which was lost!"
- Verse 9: "Rejoice with me for I have found the coin which I had lost!"
- Verse 24: "'This son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found.' And they began to be merry."
A lost and found sheep—and a party. A lost and found coin—and a party. A lost and found son—and a party.
Why Record This and Why Preach on It?
Pause here for a minute with me and ask: why did Luke record this? And why should I preach on it? What's the point in 1995?
The day before yesterday Cook County officials buried 68 bodies in Homewood Memorial Gardens just outside Chicago. Who were they? People who have nobody that knows or cares. They just die. Someone finds them on the street or in a park or in an alley or in a lonely tenement. The officials search for relatives. The Medical Examiner's Office waits and holds the bodies. No one comes forward to claim the body. A hundred-eighty-foot long trench is dug at the cemetery and the wooden boxes are lined up next to each other and buried. No stone. And no marker. This happens every month with 20 to 30 unclaimed people in Chicago.
When I read that, what hit me was the lostness of so many people in our society. Lost from virtually everybody. Surrounded by millions in Chicago and not a single person seems to know or care when they die. This feels like absolute lostness.
But it's not. Absolute lostness is when you are cut off from God. It is better to die unknown by every human in Chicago than to die unknown by God. If we feel a fearful sense of alienation because of 68 forgotten people buried in a mass grave in Homewood, Illinois, how much more should we feel the fearful prospect of dying without God.
Luke 15 is about the love of God coming into the cities and suburbs of our world to find lost sons and daughters. It's about the identity of Jesus Christ and the meaning of his mission in the world—then and now. It's about a story of destitution at our front door yesterday morning and Noël's taking a woman to her landlord and paying some rent and praying with her—and knowing we were probably ripped off. And believing: this is the heart of God.
If you ask me, is the point of preaching on these parables that you want us to be like Jesus—to receives sinners and eat with them—to find lost sheep and coins and sons and bring them home to the Father? I would say, My first aim is that you would see Jesus. Jesus did not end these parables with "Go and do likewise." And Luke did not end this chapter with: "Go and imitate Jesus." The first point is: look at him. Look at him. Consider Jesus. Know Jesus. Learn what kind of Person it is you say you trust and love and worship. Soak in the shadow of Jesus. Saturate your soul with the ways of Jesus. Watch him. Listen to him. Stand in awe of him. Let him overwhelm you with the way he is.
That's my first aim. If I could succeed at that, we would be so permeated with the beauty of this risky, painful, sacrificial, loving way of life, we could not but pursue it.
The Lost Son
What's different about the parable of the lost son is that the misery of his lostness is spelled out, the nature of his repentance is spelled out, and the lavish enthusiasm of the father is spelled out more fully than in the other two parables. Let's look briefly at each of these.
The Misery of the Son's Lostness
Running away from God starts by feeling free and ends in utter misery—either in this life or the one to come, or both. Look at this in verse 13:
And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything
together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he
squandered his estate with loose living.
The word "loose" (asus) means a "wild, abandoned, reckless" manner. This always feels free for a season—like sky-jumping feels free—until you realize you don't have a parachute. So running from God at first feels free.
But then verse 14:
Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred
in that country, and he began to be in need.
Easy come easy go. And then reality. A famine. Where do you think that came from? What might be the design in that?
Verse 15:
And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of
that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed
When we break our attachment with God, you will end up attached to another, and that attachment will be slavery not sonship. It may be drugs or alcohol or illicit sex or an employer or a spouse or a sport or a hobby or a television or a lake cabin or a computer (with Windows 95!) or books. The attachment may be crude or it may be refined. If we break loose from God, we will be attached to another. And in the end (whether crude or refined) this alien attachment will send us to the swine troughs—either in this life or the one to come.
Verse 16:
And he was longing to fill his stomach with the pods that
the swine were eating, and no one was giving
anything to him.
You and I were made to be filled with God. And if we run from him, if we take our little earthly inheritance of time and money and energy and use it to attach ourselves to other things than God, it won't matter whether we are worth nine billion dollars or buried in Homewood, Illinois—our future will be swine food for all eternity.
That's the misery Jesus describes when we run from the Father's house.
The Nature of the Son's Repentance
Then he describes the nature of the son's repentance. Verse 17:
But when he came to his senses [literally: came to himself],
he said, "How many of my father's hired men have more than enough
bread, but I am dying here with hunger! I will get up and go to my
father, and will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven,
and in your sight; 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son;
make me as one of your hired men.'"
Notice three elements in this repentance.
First, he comes to himself (v. 17). When you are alienated from God, you are always alienated from yourself. You can't know yourself or relate properly to yourself if you are running from the one who made your self for himself. You were made by God in the image of God for God. These are the three main things about your identity as a human being; you are made by God, like God, for God. Therefore conversion is "coming to yourself" as well as coming to God. It is discovering where you came from and who you are and why you exist. Running from God is always a running from ourselves. Repentance is waking up to this truth.
The second part of repentance is humble brokenness and a deep sense of unworthiness before God. Verse 18:
I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight; I am no
longer worthy to be called your son.
Lostness is not something we can make excuses for. We are guilty. We are rebels (Isaiah 53:6). We have known our Father's will, and have rejected it. So repentance is a deep sense of how horribly offensive this is to God, and that we have no rights before him at all.
The third part of repentance is that we cast ourselves on God's free, merciful, bountiful provision of grace. Verse 17:
How many of my father's hired men have more than enough
bread, but I am dying here with hunger! I will get up and go to my
Now notice something very carefully here. At this point many people make a terrible mistake in the way they try to come home to God. The lost son is willing to come home as a servant rather than a son. Does that mean he wants to relate to God as a hired hand who earns things from God and thus turns a generous father into a wage-paying employer? I don't think so. Is that what God wants? What the son is saying is: look at how rich and generous my father is. Even the servants eat well. You might say: even the crumbs that fall from the father's table would satisfy me more than what the world has to offer. The focus here is not on the service that he can supply to the father, which the father then would be obliged to compensate. The focus is on the incredible bounty and generosity that he has so foolishly traded for the fleeting pleasures of sin. Repentance is believing that God is so great and so good that the smallest enjoyments of his house are better than ten thousand worlds without him.
With that changed heart, the boy heads home.
The Lavish Enthusiasm of the Father
Which brings us to the third focus of this parable. First, there was the misery of lostness; second, there was the nature of repentance; now third, there is the lavish enthusiasm of the father when the boy comes home.
What will you find when you turn home to God through Jesus Christ? What did you find? Are you enjoying what you found? Here's what you will find. See it in six photographs of God's welcoming his son.
Verse 20: The son "got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him." God is not so busy with other things that he is not concerned about his alienated children. All his affairs are in order, and well taken care of. He is free to be concerned about his children. Before anyone else sees, God sees. He sees every twitch of your soul.
Verse 20: When he saw him far off, "he felt compassion for him." There is something in Almighty God like this. Some of you fathers know what it is like to have a child run away from home. Then there's the phone call, and a rendezvous, and the flood of emotion and longing and love when you see him walking toward you. That's the way it is with God when you head home.
Verse 20: "And he ran." Now here is a middle-aged man, the owner of a significant estate, with servants at his beck and call. There is a certain decorum to maintain. There is a dignity. Such people do not run. Unless they have thrown all middle-aged decorum to the wind and given themselves over to the utter joy of their hearts. That's the way God is about your coming home.
Verse 20: "And he embraced him and kissed him." I could probably bring tears to hundreds of eyes in this room if I lingered over this and encouraged you imagine that one person in your life that you want to come home—home from sin, home from alienation, home from unbelief, home from hard-heartedness—and what it would be like to see brokenness in their face and to reach out and embrace them and kiss them. You need to know that God is this way. God is pure and God is physical. He does not hold you at arms length. Jesus did not have to include these vivid, emotion-laden details. He wants you to feel something here about the way God welcomes you home.
The son makes his confession. Then in verse 22, "The father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.'" Here is the lavish welcome of the father. The best robe. The robe of sonship, not slavery. The robe of full, lavish, enthusiastic, unrestrained restoration to the family. That is the way the Father is when you come home.
Finally, the celebration. Verse 23: "Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and be merry." God is very glad when you come home. When Jesus receives tax-gatherers and sinners and eats with them, it is the gladness of the Father gathering in his lost children.
Martin Luther once said, "If I could believe that God was not angry with me, I would stand on my head for joy" (H. Oberman, p. 315).
The gospel is almost too good to be true. But what do you hear when the Father says (v.24), "This son of mine was dead, and has come to life again; he was lost, and has been found"?

From the parking lot we could here the sound check. Three songs, one was bittersweet motel, which we didnt know at the time because it had never been played before...though they played it second set that night. Also checked funky bitch, also played second set...can't remember third song. The heat was intense as we entered the show....I recall people looking around, and you could just feel the tension...nobody wanted to go too deep...but the heat was pushing everyone to another place.
AC/DC->Fluffhead opener, WOW. To this day, one of the best I can imagine. They really toyed and played with the bundle of joy bit in fluffhead and the ending was so clean and totally rocked!! By the end of Fluff, everyone was completely engaged and the energy was amazing!! Roggae was a perfect way to bring it down, I've always liked this slow; its fun and interactive and Fish and Trey have a great back and forth vocal combo...But after Roggau, it was right back into serious energy with TUBE. The only way to further the Fluff jamming was wit ha song like tube. Real intense, but super clean jamming...then things needed to come back down a bit, not so serious. Thus sparkle followed. It's a classic, though not my favorite, it seemed so appropriate. With Fluff and Tube, the music was super strong and the guys were just on, totally pushing it! Then Cavern; what? Mid first set Cavern...gotta love it! By this point it was Bag, Fluff, Tube and Cavern in the first six songs...everyone, if not already, was now totally into it!
Then Relax, or Frankie Says I guess...which was just a way for them to slow it down a bit before going totally deep with Antelope! I think Antelope might be the strongest first set closer out there? Regardless...it was tight! Such a fitting way to end a toatally rocking first set!
Set II
Was very nicely reviewed by someone above. But I will mention some things. Mike's opener always sparks intrigue and hooks the crowd, so many ways to go from there?! And they went into simple. Honestly, as said by the reviewer before, this is one of the most unique versions of simple ever! Not sure how to explain it, except by telling you that it was the only time I have ever laid down at a show! Dont get me wrong, I'm a wet noodle...and I was having one at this show!! BUt this simple was just so relaxing and peaceful, that I laid on my back looking up at the stars. Because there was so much room in the lawn area, people had just found a place to sprawl out and lay down to enjoy the music! Then came Bittersweet Motel, a new one for all of us. Since its debut, this song has built quite a reputation. From holding the namesake to their documentary film, to being referenced as the slowest most boring song, even by Trey himself, Bittersweet Motel's debut at this show was very well received. Its lyrical foundation engaged the entire crowd, we were all wondering what Trey was going to sing...it was a great way to get everyone back from their travels during Simple...
And get us back they did, with Mike busting into Weekapaug Groove with the longest most intense bass solo I have ever heard begin that song. After hearing this, I have begun to notice the subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, differences in the way weekapaug begins. This one was all Mike, I mean a true Bass Solo to begin Weekapaug, it was awesome! I love Weekapaug, and this one was just so good. Then Brian and Robert, another new one...very slow and somber...but appropriate after the heights reached in Weekapaug. The Ghost was sick...after the Albany '97 Ghost, this song became a personal favorite of mine. It had everything, including a jam into She caught the Katy...didn't know the song, but did know it was something old that they dusted off...so really enjoyed the treat! Funky Bitch seemed a bit off at first, but they took it very funky which made it a fun way to end the set.
The jamming had been done; and with the encore they help bring us back down nice and soft with Sleeping Monkey->Rockytop. Sleeping Monkey is a very endearing song, love fishman and the passion he has for his monkey! Rockytop is nothing but good clean energy, fun and fitting to help us away safely! A truly wonderful show that I think of often.

Used to be good when it was a free app called FileList.
Used to also be good when it was free up to version 2
Ever since the devs got greedy and started charging for it it's steadily got worse and worse.
A common problem is either the GUI freezing or it making Finder freeze when you try to drag and drop files into it.
If they do open it takes ages.
Not impressed so deleted...
...there are plenty of paid and free alternatives out there that work much better than this.
Name mangler is not freeware (anymore), see here: http://manytricks.com/namemangler/
I'm trying to get help with the regular expression matching, but it seems the web site has vanished. Too bad.
Very nice, but weird a list of 24 files takes 20+ seconds to load and freezes the UI on 2 month old hardware...
This application is great. It used to be FileList. This version is a great improvement.
New name: Name Mangler.
Requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
I basically just use this handy tool for generating m3u playlists, but I might start using it for batch file editing too now that I read about it from other users here. Currently I use Automator for such tasks but it's a bit slow to load.
A bit slow to load, maybe it would be better if it were a universal binary.
I only wish you could quit File List by normal Command-Q means. Otherwise, this is my favorite batch renamer!
Excellent app!

BioPharm: Can you start by walking us through a brief description of what's involved in a typical upstream process for manufacturing a biologic-based product?Nelligan: A typical process lasts approximately 40 days, so it's quite lengthy. The first 21 to 25 days involves growing the cells. Typically, each batch starts from cells stored in an ampoule. The cells are kept viable by being stored in liquid nitrogen in the laboratory. These cells are laid down by the research teams who first developed the cells and processes for later production. For commercial production purposes, one needs to use a vessel in a size ranging from a 1000 L to 10,000 L. This means the starter culture must be grown in a series of passages before inoculating these large production vessels.
Typically, the process begins with a few milliliters of cells in an ampoule growing up over 21 days to eventually inoculate a 1000-L or 2000-L production vessel. These cells last approximately 12 days in the production vessel, their metabolism being switched from growth to a production state by computer control of conditions. It is in this production stage that the cells make the targeted product (i.e., the drug substance) until it's ready to be harvested. At this point, one may have a few kilograms of monoclonal antibody (mAb), for example.
BioPharm: When scaling up from a laboratory process to a production process, as you've described here, what considerations does the manufacturer need to keep in mind when developing an overall biologic process? In other words, how can a team best prepare for the scale-up stage?
Nelligan: The process must be robust, first and foremost. Animal cells are very complex. The industry still struggles with identifying the areas of variability. Even though computer-controlled vessels are used to control the cells' metabolism very tightly, the quality of the product needs to be carefully checked before being dispositioned. One needs to keep in mind that mAbs are very powerful substances and over a thousand times more complex than the small-molecule chemical products produced by the pharmaceutical industry in the past. Sophisticated and state-of-the-art analytical techniques are therefore required to characterize such products. If the process is not robust and the drug substance product has not been fully characterized in the early development (or clinical trial) stages, undesired variability can arise when moving to large-scale manufacture.

How Far Should We Go to Rescue At-Risk Species?
The white lemuroid possum may soon hold a brand-new world title: First species to go extinct due to climate change.
In December 2009, scientists reported that the possum is missing from its only home in the mountain forests of northern Queensland, Australia. It hasn't been seen there in three years. A slight temperature rise (of only 1 or 2 degrees) is likely the reason: The possum typically dies in as few as four or five hours at 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

Even short periods of high temperature, humidity, or exertion can cause serious health problems. Heat-related illness and deaths are preventable, yet many people suffer serious health illness or death every year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported an average of 618 heat-related deaths per year in the United States from 1999-2010. Extreme heat is defined as temperatures that are substantially hotter and/or more humid than are typical for that location at that time of year.
There is no specific temperature or humidity level that must be obtained for heat-related illness or death to occur. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, for example, reported a healthy 30-year-old landscaper died of heat stroke on a day that never went higher than 81 degrees. Heat-related illness and death rather occurs when heat pushes the body beyond its ability to compensate. The human body cools itself by sweating; the sweat brings heat to the surface where it evaporates. High humidity reduces the ability of sweat to evaporate.
Body heat is produced two ways: internal (metabolic) heat is generated by physical exertion, and environmental heat is from high air temperature; humidity; direct sun exposure; heavy clothing; and lack of water, rest, and cooling. Anybody can succumb to heat. However, the elderly; very young; people with handicaps who are unable to take care of themselves or communicate; those with mental illness, cardiovascular, lung or other chronic diseases are at increased risk. Outdoor workers in agriculture, construction, logging, and firefighting are at increased risk, as well as those involved in exertional exercise outdoors. Statistically, 68 percent of heat-related deaths are male. There are some studies that predict risks will increase with climate change.
Heat rash is a skin irritation caused by excessive sweating; it is most common in young children. Heat rash looks like a collection of pimples or small blisters, usually on the neck, chest, or in the groin and elbow creases. Treatment for heat rash is to provide a cooler, less humid environment; dusting powder may help.
Heat cramps are caused by excessive sweating, which depletes the body of salt and fluid. Heat cramps are muscle pains or spasms, usually in the abdomen, arms, and legs. Heat cramps can be serious for those with heart disease or who are on a low-salt diet, and medical attention should be obtained. Otherwise, stop all activity, sit quietly in a cool place, drink clear juice or a sports beverage, and rest for several hours after cramps subside. If cramps do not subside within an hour, seek medical attention.
Heat exhaustion is a body's response to an excessive loss of fluid and salt. It can develop after several days of exposure and inadequate replacement of water and electrolytes. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea/vomiting, and fainting. Signs include cool, moist skin; rapid, shallow breathing; and a fast, weak pulse. The elderly and people with high blood pressure or who work or exercise in a hot environment are at higher risk. Treat heat exhaustion with cool (non-alcoholic) fluids, rest, cool shower/bath, air conditioning, and light-weight clothing.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency; call 911 immediately. The body is unable to regulate its temperature, which can rise rapidly. The sweating mechanism fails and fatal temperatures can rise to 106 degrees or higher within minutes. Heat stroke can present with an extremely high body temperature; red, hot, dry skin (no sweating); rapid, strong pulse; throbbing headache; dizziness; nausea; confusion; unconsciousness; or seizures. Immediate cooling is necessary! Begin cool water immersion, shower, spray, sponging, wrapped in cool wet sheets, and vigorous fanning until emergency medical services are available. Do not give fluids by mouth.
Sunburn can cause first or second-degree burns. Ultraviolet radiation (sun exposure) damages the cells of the skin. Protect skin from excessive exposure by seeking shade, especially during the midday hours; wearing lightweight clothing, hats, sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection; frequent application of sunblock (SPF 15 or higher); and avoiding indoor tanning.
Skin cancer risk is increased with exposure to the sun. The three most common types are basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma. Skin cancers can invade normal nearby tissue and sometimes spreads to other parts of the body. Prevention is the best treatment.
Air conditioning is the number one protective factor for heat-related illness and death. Increase fluid levels during hot weather. Don't wait until you are thirsty; thirst is a late indicator of dehydration. Don't drink fluids with alcohol or large amounts of sugar. If you are not urinating every two to three hours or the urine is dark, then you need to drink more. Acclimation occurs over the course of several weeks and actually causes a body to sweat more efficiently.
Minimizing exposure, staying well hydrated, frequent rests, protective clothing, and acclimation all reduce the risks of heat-related illness.

About this time of year, we native Californians start hearing the plaintive wails of transplanted residents from the Northeast and the Midwest. They're missing their dose of autumn color.
That means it's time to stamp our feet and reprise our seasonal reminder:
We do too have fall color in California!
In fact, we might have better color than any other region, say leaf-peeping experts like John Poimiroo, a former state tourism director who now operates the definitive website and blog on the topic, www.californiafallcolor.com.
"I believe we actually have the greatest fall color," says Poimiroo, who has been tracking autumnal changes here since the 1980s. "It's certainly the longest season and most dependable. It begins in August and runs though December with color throughout the state."
And for that, credit goes to California's geographical variety -- its peaks and valleys.
"What's different here is that fall color descends by elevation, whereas in New England, it descends by latitude," Poimiroo explains. "That means if you don't happen to be at the exact location in New England during the week when it's peaking, you missed it entirely.
"Whereas in California, if you missed it peaking at Sabrina Lake, then just motor over to June Lake nearby at a lower elevation for an equally great display."
The Golden State's legendary Mediterranean climate also helps create a more varied, longer lasting display of color. "I've actually had reports from Los Angeles in December," he says.
And don't dismiss the non-native trees close to home, says Busara Melrose, arborist for Our City Forest, a San Jose-based nonprofit group that promotes urban plantings.
"Chinese pistache has dynamite fall color," Melrose says.
In the coming weeks, you will be able to spot some of those glowing a brilliant orange through the sunlight along Interstate 680 in the East Bay, I-280 on the Peninsula, and I-80 in Solano and Yolo counties.

3 types of fall color
Mother Nature's display isn't all about maples. You can find fall color wherever you find trees and other plantings, experts say.
Native: In California, the traditional showy display is provided by such natives as the aspen, the black oak, the bigleaf maple, the California sycamore, the Pacific dogwood and the Pacific madrone.
Agricultural: The state's rich agricultural heritage adds to the autumnal mix. Look for color in apricot, plum and walnut tree orchards throughout the state as well as on the cabernet and chardonnay vines and other varietals in the wine regions.
Landscaped: Nonnative trees (aka "exotics") provide lots of close-to-home color. Keep an eye out for the leaves of the Chinese pistache, liquidambar, birch and gingko trees in the urban landscape.
