Someone posted a link to an mp3 utility that allows creation of 'gapless' mp3 loops. Does anyone have that link / thread? TIA ,
Why doing this with the mp3 file ? Create a gapless, nice looping WAV file in your DAW , and it will loop still fine once converted to mp3 !? Not working on your side ?
Thanks for the quick reply Sonic.
I use Soundforge to create both .wav and .mp3. The .wav will save exactly how you render it… i.e. with no gap. But, there is something about the mp3 spec that whenever you save as mp3 it adds a slight gap at the beginning and I believe end of the file.
Correct me if I am wrong for I've never heard of the software you mentioned, but it has never been previously possible to guarantee perfectly loopable mp3 content due to the nature of the mp3 file format. WAV is the preferred format for looping audio seamlessly.
For many years I was convinced that, once I save mp3 from perfectly-looping wav file in Audacity, it also loops seamlessly. But then it turned out (at least I think so) that Audiacity (and many other audio applications) save looping information which some players can read (like my foobar2000). As Scott said, I don't think there's a way to guarantee seamless mp3 playback, and I think that it happens because of ID3 information stored at the end (or beginning) of mp3 file… I might be wrong, though
Thanks for the responses. I believe you guys are correct. It is inherent in the MP3 specification that it add a tiny gap. But, I thought someone posted a utility which would allow you to clip out the gap and re-save the file.
The reason for my concern is… I had a file approved but, the reviewer indicated it was not a loop. The .wav file is indeed a perfect, seamless loop. The mp3 preview however has the a fore mentioned gap. This is the only reason I can interpret that the reviewer would indicate it is not a loop.
I have sent in a support ticket inquiring. I'll let you guys know if we figure it out.
Thanks again,
The software you are referring to is mentioned in this thread.http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/gap-at-beginningend-of-mp3/32581?page=1#306569
Good luck.

Perfect! Thank you, sir.
I also must add that many game developers prefer to work with mp3. They know about Flash being able to convert wav to mp3 or other things, yet they ask us, authors to send them the mp3 files, smaller and smaller and mono, and even smaller than that.
Whatever is AJ file quality policy, clients want the files as THEY want not as reviewers or AJ officials tells us we MUST provide.

RUSH: Here's Bill Clinton. This is Cuyahoga Community College this afternoon in Parma, Ohio. I'm not sure, folks, what to make of this. Some people think that this is Clinton sticking the knife in Obama. By the way, speaking of that, Ed Klein (who wrote that book, The Amateur) says that the Clintons are not happy that Hillary has had to fall on the sword here. I gotta find this. The Clintons are not happy and are planning something. Keep that in mind as you hear this. I'm not quite sure what to make of it myself 'cause all I've done is read the transcript. I've not heard this, so I will be hearing it with you. But the note accompanying it says "Clinton sticks the knife in Obama." You tell me after hearing this if that's what you think this is.
CLINTON: Governor Romney's argument is, "We're not fixed, so fire him and put me in." It is true, we're not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, "I had so much hope four years ago, and I don't now," I thought he was gonna cry, because he knows that it's not fixed.
RUSH: Okay. So Obama knows it isn't fixed, the economy, and he was looking in that guy's eyes, that man's eyes at the debate. And Clinton thought Obama was gonna cry. (interruption) Who knows he screwed up? (interruption) Oh. Obama knows he screwed up? The economy or the answer in the debate? (interruption) See, I don't know what Clinton's doing here. (impression) "He knows it's not fixed. He's got a lot of work to do. He needs another four years to get this done. He's very sensitive. He's almost crying, he's so desirous that everybody to be doing well."
Is that what Clinton meant, or does Clinton mean, "This guy's so incompetent, he knows it's not working. He knows and I'm gonna stab him in the back"?
What is he saying here?
RUSH: Snerdley, seriously, don't give me any jokes. What do you think Clinton's doing here? Is he undercutting Obama? He's not. My brother David says, "There's no way Clinton would undercut Obama after that convention speech. He's not gonna come out contradict himself this much." And other people say, "He's really sticking it to Obama there. He's really screwing Obama with this." Well, let's listen to it again, shall we? It's Bill Clinton. He's at the Cuyahoga Community College in Parma, Ohio, and he's talking about Obama and a question at the debate earlier this week.
CLINTON: Governor Romney's argument is, "We're not fixed, so fire him and put me in." It is true, we're not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, "I had so much hope four years ago, and I don't now," I thought he was gonna cry, because he knows that it's not fixed.
RUSH: In the first place, Obama wasn't gonna cry. It didn't look like he was gonna cry ever. I've never seen Obama look like he cares enough about anything to cry, other than something that might be happening to him. But I didn't see a guy on the verge of tears. My guess is, wild guess, Clinton is trying to tell everybody how much Obama cares. And he's working hard on it. Remember what Clinton said. (Clinton impression) "Ain't nobody could have fixed this, not in four years. I could have, not one of my predecessors. This problem was so much worse than anybody knew. There's not a thing anybody coulda done any better than Obama."
So I just think he's carrying on this whole meme here that Obama feels your pain. He wants to cry with you, and he wants to fix this so bad.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia - Zacarias Moussaoui admitted today he was supposed to fly a fifth airplane into the White House as part of the September 11 plot and knew two other planes were to fly into New York's World Trade Center.
Taking the stand at his sentencing trial, Moussaoui - the only person charged in the United States in connection with the September 11 attacks - said "shoebomber" Richard Reid was to join him as part of the crew in the suicide mission.
Reid failed in an attempt to blow up an American Airlines plane from Paris to Miami in December 2001 after passengers and crew tackled him as he tried to ignite explosives in his shoe. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in January 2003.
Moussaoui's claim contradicted what he said last year in pleading guilty: that he was not supposed to be part of the September 11 hijackings but was meant to be in a second wave of al Qaeda attacks and fly an airplane into the White House.
Moussaoui said he did not know the precise date of the planned attacks when he was arrested in Minnesota on August 16, 2001, and had only scant details of the overall plan.
"I had knowledge that the two towers would be hit but I didn't have the detail," said Moussaoui, dressed in a green prisoner jumpsuit and white cap.
Moussaoui is on trial now to determine if he will be executed.
Asked by Gerald Zerkin, one of his court-appointed attorneys, if he was meant to be part of the September 11 attacks, Moussaoui said: "I was supposed to pilot a plane to hit the White House."
Moussaoui, who appeared very calm and spoke in a matter-of-fact manner in contrast to earlier courtroom outbursts, said he was asked in 1999 if he wanted to be a suicide pilot in an attack on the United States but he initially declined.
He agreed to take part in the plan in 2000 after having a dream, which he talked about with Osama bin Laden.
"My knowledge of the operation was very gradual. I didn't know from the start," Moussaoui said. "I wasn't part of the operation at the beginning because I declined to be part of the operation."
Moussaoui said he had not seen any of the other hijackers in the United States. But he said he knew - at least by face - nearly all of the 19 hijackers including ringleader Mohamed Atta.
Federal prosecutors are trying to prove that Moussaoui lied to FBI agents when he was arrested three weeks before the hijackings after raising suspicions at a flight school. They say the lies led to the deaths on September 11.
Moussaoui said during the testimony that he had lied to FBI agents in order to help make sure the attack would go ahead.
His defence attorneys, who he has barely acknowledged during the trial, had tried to keep Moussaoui from testifying on the grounds al Qaeda teaches its members to lie when caught. US District Judge Leonie Brinkema turned them down.
When he was arrested, Moussaoui was taking simulator lessons at a flight school to learn to fly a jumbo jet.
"You were in a rush to get through jet simulator training so you would be ready as a pilot to fly a fifth plane into the White House?" prosecutor Robert Spencer asked.
"That is correct," Moussaoui said.
When asked if the reason for the attack was to kill Americans, Moussaoui again replied:
"That is correct."
Moussaoui denied Spencer's claim that he was a "big shot" in al Qaeda and said that he was just an "intermediate level" member of the organization.

It was just another Tuesday at Harvey's Precision Body Shop, with 10 vehicles being worked on and about 20 or so in the parking lot waiting their turn.
Oh, sure, there were a few police cars starting to converge on the Sungate Apartments just across the street, but it wasn't the first time the cops had stopped there.
Then the SWAT team made an appearance. Then the police asked if they could borrow a ladder to get on one of the apartment roofs. Then 30 or so Sungate residents made their way across Blackburn Street and took refuge at the body shop.
It didn't take a CSI detective to sense something volatile less than 100 yards away, but, hey, the show must go on.
Even when secretary Glenda Barrett heard two gunshots while she was in the parking lot and heading for lunch, no employee there knew that was just a prelude of what would happen 4½ hours later.
Jonathon Moore, the shop's painter, had just sold his motorcycle right before it hit.
"I was in the parts shop and I heard this burst of rapid fire," said employee Michael Voyles. "Then a 'flash-bang' goes off, and it shook the ground underneath me. That got everyone's attention."
A 7-hour standoff between Amarillo police and Roman Martinez reached its peak around 5:15 p.m. with a volley of gunfire, a cascade of tear gas canisters and the detonation of a thunderous explosive device in just a few wild seconds. It looked and sounded like a "Die Hard" movie except it was non-fiction.
"It wasn't two or three shots, but probably 10 or 12," said owner Paul Elms. "I was about halfway back in the shop, but you could hear 'pow, pow, then pow-pow-pow-pow,' then return fire. So I ran into Glenda's office and could see out the window a lot of officers behind cars taking cover."
Then the 13 employees at Harvey's did what anyone would do when they hear gunfire and all hell breaking loose across the street - they tried to get a better look.
"It was still like an ordinary afternoon for us until the gunfire, and then everything was kind of slow-motion," Elms said. "Everyone wanted to watch and see what was going on - naturally. It's like driving by a big old car wreck. Everybody has to look and see what happened."
"So they're peeking out windows, and at one point, a bunch of guys were outside between buildings and I told them to get back inside. But after the gunfire, production was pretty much at a standstill."
And so were Harvey's employees. Might as well grab a Snicker's - they weren't going anywhere for a while. The body shop was one of two businesses directly affected by Tuesday's shootout. The nearby Home Depot initially was as well.
The shop closes at 6 p.m., but no one was leaving. Police weren't allowing anyone in or out of the area. Though Martinez was probably dead by closing time, no one knew for sure.
They did know he was firing an assault weapon, and anyone moving outside the body shop would be an easy target.
"We were definitely in firing range," Voyles said. "He was just shooting wildly."
So 6 p.m. became 7 p.m. and 7 p.m. dragged into 8 p.m. The nine employees who remained sat around the break table munching on summer sausage and crackers and waiting for the all-clear sign, not knowing when it would be.
"Everyone was really patient," Elms said. "But as the evening was wearing on, we were like, 'OK, guys, go in and get him and put an end to it.' It wasn't a vigilante mentality, but you get this mentality of 'Let's get it over with. It's gone on long enough.'
"As a matter of fact, we ate about half the sausage jokingly thinking we might need it by 10 or 11 o'clock that night."
Finally at 8:30 p.m., Paul's dad, Harvey, the shop's original owner, went to an officer at the Blackburn and Paramount barricade and asked how much longer. The officer said they could go now. He didn't have to say it twice.
"As the afternoon lengthened, it became surreal," Elms said. "It was like something you see on TV. You expect a couple of shots and then it's over. You don't expect a gun battle."
Wednesday afternoon, yellow crime tape ringed building No. 20 at the Sungate. The only vehicles belonged to those who lived there.
And across the way at Harvey's, it was refreshingly routine again.

Billy Corgan: 'I Almost Killed Myself About Three, Four, Seven Times'
In a candid new interview, Smashing Pumpkins star Billy Corgan reveals he considered suicide on several occasions.
The singer opened up to Carson Daly on late-night show "Last Call" and explained comments he recently made to Britain's NME magazine.
"I almost killed myself about three, four, seven times. I literally started planning my death and what I would leave behind, and what I was gonna write... three or four times in my life.
"What I finally realized, at least on the back end of this, is that God, at least as I understand God, was there all along. Once I was able to process my reality in that way, I no longer felt like a victim," Corgan said.
In an interview with NME, Corgan Corgan said he thought about killing himself while recording classic 1993 album "Siamese Dream," stating, "I was suicidal, and I'd been plotting my own death for about two months... If you've ever read anything about the warning signs of suicide one of them is you give away all your stuff, and I'd given away all my stuff. I gave away all my records, I started giving away my guitars.
"I was fantasising about my own death, I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played, I was at that level of insanity."

AMD to Invest $5.8B USD into Dresden Fabs

AMD prepares for a major ramp up this year leading all the way through to 2008
AMD's position as a force to be reckoned is no longer under question. The company has invested significantly over the last several years and made very good bets on its strategy that are now bringing fruits to the effort that was put in.
We previously reported earlier in the year that AMD was putting in a
rough sum of $500M USD to upgrade Fab 36
in Germany. The money was laid out to upgrade the facility to produce larger wafers with smaller lithography processes. Since then, Fab 36 has been operating at a good pace and is now producing a good amount of revenue.
Despite the initial investment, competition often sparks innovation, and innovation doesn't stand still.
According to German reports
, AMD is in the process of rounding up another $5.8B USD which is to be spent gradually up to 2008. The company is using the money to further invest into its Dresden location. If this plan goes through successfully, AMD would have made one of its largest ever expansions in its history -- or for that matter, any semiconductor company.
The money is initially slated for Fab 36 and Fab 30 in Dresden, but the German report indicates much of the earmarked money will also go towards a third AMD foundry in the Dresden area, with work beginning this summer. Some of the funds will also be used for employee salaries at the new and upgraded facilities.
The year so far has been exciting, with many announcements from both sides of the camp. Thanks to first impressions of Intel's upcoming Conroe processor, many analysts are now looking at AMD with a great deal of anticipation to see what the company will come out with next,
specifically the K8L architecture
. AMD is currently on track in terms of timely product releases and expects to deliver quad-core desktop solutions in early 2007. The company recently
broke its own 3GHz barrier with its Opteron family
"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il

Mangalore: Exhibition of Designer Latha Puttanna's Creations on Mar 21
Media Release
Mangalore, Mar 20: Renowned Bangalore-based fashion designer Latha Puttanna will be presenting an exhibition of her works on Wednesday March 21 at Hotel Gold Finch here from 10 am to 7 pm.
The exhibition is being hosted in Mangalore by Veena Shetty and will feature a stunning collection of sarees, salwars, churidhars, ghagras in silk, raw silk, beneras tissue, silknet, georgette, chiffon and more.
Latha Puttanna is the creative energy behind the brand 'Shrishti'. Even without any formal education in design, her feel for colours and an eye for detail can be seen in every creation of hers. Shrishti was started fifteen years ago with Latha's passion for creating exclusive handmade garments for women. Her brand includes exquisite saris, blouses, kurthis, churidhars, salwars and indo-western wear in every hue of the rainbow.
It was her intuition and friends who goaded her to hold her first exhibition many years ago, and she has never looked back since. Latha has held numerous exhibitions in the US with much success, and in Bangalore, she holds three exhibitions annually. Latha does not have an outlet store that regularly stock her garments. She prefers to sell her exclusive collections through exhibitions held in various cities in India as well as London and US. Latha has a long list of faithful clientele all over the world, who eagerly awaits her exhibitions to buy her latest creations.
Her work is patronized by many celebrity clients and she has designed trousseaux for brides in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai as well as in the USA. She has done garments for Shakuntala and Dr Devi Shetty's son's weddings, as well as epical pieces for artistes like Sumalath Ambarish and Ashwini Puneet Raj Kumar, actors Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, Tabu, Vani Ganapathy and Jaya Zaveri.
Latha Puttanna believes in reviving Indian crafts and textile and does it using her unique design and colour sensibilities. She has been hand picked by the state to be the designer for Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation (KSIC), a 100-year old sari store which is synonymous with the popular coinage 'Mysore Silk'.

From the Publisher
When Allison Wallis was beaten to death, Detective Francis X. Loughlin found the killer—Julian Vega, a teenager with a crush on the murdered girl. Using his natural sense of empathy, he cozied up to young Julian, convincing him to give a confession that would put him away until he was thirty-six. Twenty years later, Julian is finally out of jail, attempting to remember how to live in a world without bars, and Detective Loughlin is still on the job, his sight fading, though his instincts are still sharp. But when Allison's blood appears at a new crime scene, everything he thought he knew about that long-ago murder is called into question. Was it really Allison they buried? Was Julian actually the killer? And if he wasn't, who else is in danger now? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Blauner including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection.

Valleydale begins initial relocation building phasecomment (0)
May 9, 2002
Land is being cleared for the relocation of Valleydale Baptist Church, Birmingham, to a new 44-acre campus one mile from its existing campus, following the conclusion of the congregation's capital campaign.
After committing to $5.7 million, Valleydale's congregation made a "first fruits" offering of approximately $700,000 toward the total amount pledged. A portion of the money pledged, $100,000, will be set aside to support local and international missions.
"We want to be a 21st-century church," said Senior Pastor Calvin Kelly. "When we embarked on a self-study in 1998, we decided the old facilities weren't reaching this goal. We think our new campus will help us in reaching people for Jesus Christ."
The new campus, located less than a mile from its current location on Valleydale Road, is under way after community and county concerns were settled.
"We faced two challenges," Kelly said. "The first challenge was to start off on the right foot with our future neighbors. We feel we have done everything we can to do that by meeting with representatives from three neighborhoods since last August.
"The second challenge was related to Shelby County. That issue was settled, with the additional use requirement approved and our own plan approved by the Shelby County Commission."
Lee Ann Martin, marketing coordinator for Valleydale, said the commission has given them the green light to proceed with their plans.
"They gave us conditions that we had already agreed upon with neighbors in the community, and we're ready to move beyond that with excitement."
The first phase of the building process will be a $15 million multipurpose facility to be used for recreation space, which will be its long-term function, and for worship and limited educational space.
"It's a unique structure," said Kelly. "For worship, we will open up two basketball courts with both retractable and movable seating."
The old campus, however, will not be abandoned. "For now we will be co-utilizing the space," said Kelly. "But long-term, we are praying to sell the old campus to a church or ministry. We have had four parties express an interest without even publicizing."
Kelly expects the entire relocation to be a 12- to 15-year process, with the moving date for phase one occurring fall 2003. "We are committed to doing the best we can to fulfill our mission," said Kelly. "We want to provide people with the best opportunities to become fully devoted Christ-followers. This is a step toward fulfilling that mission."

June 22nd is right around the corner and yes, on that day the most talented young players in the game get called to a podium to dawn the colors of their new organization.
The 2012 NHL draft gives teams a chance to make moves and select the player or players that they believe can get their team to the next level.
The Chicago Blackhawks have the 18th overall pick in this June's entry draft and their will be a number of talented players still on the board.
Certainly, the 'Hawks do have immediate needs that should be addressed with trades or free agency. With the No. 18 pick, the player they select more than likely will not have a roster impact for another year or two.
Though there is little doubt that Stan Bowman has a tremendous list in front of him, here is a short list of 10 quality individuals that would be terrific additions in Chicago.

Baseball has changed in all sorts of ways since the MLB strike in 1994.
The game is now an absurdly lucrative business both for the players and the owners. Over the past two decades, a number of teams have moved to new stadiums, and new technologies have transformed the way that fans follow their favorite clubs.
On the diamond, it's still the same game, but nobody has come close to accomplishing what Tony Gwynn did in the summer of 1994.

The Dubai International Horse Fair is the biggest equestrian event of the year and at the very heart of the industry in the Middle East.
Held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance, it has developed into a core international event, supporting a thriving equestrian industry in the UAE and the wider region, and ideally timed as a run up to the Dubai World Cup, which is held just after the fair.
Established in 2004, the DIHF is the only show where you can meet the most successful and influential owners and breeders of horses as well as those related to stables and clubs, amidst the excitement of one of the most important Arabian horse competitions in the global calendar.
Now in its 9th year, the show incorporates almost everything pertaining to horses and the equestrian industry, from supplier presentations and demonstrations, riding classes, pony rides and an art exhibition. The show will also see the return of the already established Horse Auction for Arabian and thoroughbreds from local studs.
The Dubai International Horse Fair is widely recognised by the industry as the must-attend event in the region, given the UAE's strong traditional roots in horsemanship and a rich history in equestrian sporting excellence.

In an attempt to reconcile our feelings of emotional (and ethical) conflict, we wrote the following text for our wedding. We felt that it was important to both affirm and challenge Judaism.
The traditional seven blessings—recited at all Jewish weddings—compare the joy of every bride and groom to the primordial wholeness of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. These blessings express the idea that each union between a man and a woman brings us closer to the time of Redemption. The blessings conclude with drinking of a full cup of wine to symbolize the joy of union.
We feel that we can only drink a full cup of joy when the union of all lovers is celebrated. We will only feel a sense of wholeness when same-sex couples are also able to enjoy the legal, social, and religious privileges that are being extended to us on this holy day.
We have therefore added an eighth blessing to the traditional seven blessings. Akin to taking ten drops of wine out of our glasses during the Passover seder when we recite the Ten Plagues (acknowledging that all losses require our empathy), we diminish one full cup of joy in recognition that the world is not yet complete. The added eighth blessing reminds us that as partners in Creation we must strive toward a garden in which there is a place for all loving relationships.
You are blessed, Adonai our God, Source of Life,
who enables us to strive toward the devotion of Jonathan and David,
the life-sharing of Ruth and Naomi,
and the commitment of Jacob and Rachel.
May the time come soon when the voices of all lovers,
the music of all friendships, will rise up to be heard and
celebrated in the gates of our cities.
May the time come soon when we can all drink a full cup of joy.
Blessed are You, Source of Love.

Luther Dickinson & The Wandering
Luther Dickinson
Hambone's Meditations
Songs of the South
On his all-instrumental album, Dickinson allows himself to luxuriate in a restful space that belies his restless creative nature. Yet Hambone's Meditations is less an exercise in technical self-indulgence than a rediscovery of roots that, in the form of "Arkabutla," thoroughly exhibits a tuneful quality that makes it simultaneously durable and accessible.
This all-acoustic affair, subtitled "Mississippi Folk Music Volume 2," features Luther playing a variety of instruments including guitars and mandolins as featured on the hauntingly-titled "Death Comes on Wings of Crepe." While he may be taking liberties by assuming composing credit of "Blind Lemon and The Hook Man," such artistic assumptions are part of the tradition he's honoring and preserving: the tune itself is a virtual compendium of archetypal country blues motifs rendered by Dickinson with equal parts grace and facility.
The Wandering
Go On Now, You Can't Stay Here
Songs of the South
The Wandering's Go On Now, You Can't Stay Here is the most unconventional of the recent Dickinson projects, including the South Memphis String Band. As with that unit, Luther may be the titular leader, but he is merely the lightning rod for a channeling of collective inspiration amongst banjoist Valerie June, bassist Amy LaVere, drummer Sharde Thomas and guitarist/vocalist Shannon McNally. The Wandering is strikingly bold in a choice of material that ranges from a traditional such as "Glory Glory" to a contemporary tune such as Kris Kristofferson's "Lovin' Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again."
Though hardly just homage to roots then, particularly when it comes to The Byrds' tongue-in-cheek "Mr. Spaceman," authentic strains of country, folk, gospel and blues permeate the singing and playing on this wide range of material. Using largely acoustic instruments (as well as the unique sounds of instruments such as kazoo), this quintet reinforces the timeless quality of great songs like "You Are My Sunshine" and accomplishes what great interpretative artists invariably seek to do, that is, rediscover the truth and beauty in familiar tunes. For instance, how ironic exactly is Howlin' Wolf's "Sittin' On Top of the World?"
Though Luther Dickinson's presence is definitely understated during the course of Go On Now, You Can't Stay Here, it is more than a little symbolic that he stands dead center in the CD cover portrait. The spiritualism implicit in The Wandering's moniker runs through LaVere's cryptic liner essay and, like the music to which the essay refers, it is as deeply felt, in as eloquent a fashion.

Spinning the Spying
The Columbus Dispatch - June 14, 2013 02:51 PM
The government is not very good at marketing. That became quite obvious when news broke that it's been collecting phone records, monitoring Internet communications and doing other kind of snooping.
Instead of trying to minimize the degree of intrusion, the National Security Agency (the government department whose name is always preceded by "shadowy" in news report) should have just spun it as an opportunity to add convenience to the lives of Americans.
The scope of the data collection is still a little hazy (shadowy, remember?), but let's assume the government has access to all our phone calls, e-mail and Internet searches. In that case I could see these product pitches:
NSA e-mail alerts: Never forget an important appointment or birthday again! Sign up for NSA e-mail alerts, and we'll remind you to buy your wife flowers, send your mother a card of even take out the trash. After all, who knows you better than the NSA?
NSA daily deals: Register with the NSA and your inbox will soon be full of discount offers tailored just for you. We already know what you're buying. You might as well get something out of it.
NSA identity theft protection: If anyone tries to impersonate you, we'll check his fingerprints, vital statistics and DNA against yours. (Everything's in the files, you know.) If he persists, we'll send a drone to hover menacingly over his house.
NSA roadside assistance: Sure, AAA will jump-start your car and OnStar will unlock it. But for real service, try NSA Roadside Assistance. Since we're tracking your movements anyway, why not have us tell you if we see an upcoming traffic jam, long lines at the McDonald's drive-through or a great deal on gas? Take the government for a ride: You won't regret it.
NSA data backup: Forget keeping copies on external hard drives or uploading to the cloud. You can sleep peacefully at night knowing that the government has copies of all your data. The NSA: We're right behind you all the time.

However, water can't flow if there is a dam in the way. Orland Hills' drainage system can be blocked or altered when people dump in the channels, plug storm sewer inlets, or build improperly in the floodplain. Therefore, there are Village regulations to prevent these problems.
Every lot was built so water would flow away from the building and along property lines to the street, storm sewer, or ditch. Fences, railroad ties, landscaping and regrading block this flow. So do construction projects in the ditches or the floodplain. All such projects require a permit from the Village.
One property owner recently put a wall along the ditch behind his house without a permit. This was a violation of Section 156 of the Village Code and State law. He was ordered to remove it and subsequently did, at his own expense. Don't let this happen to you.Here are some things to remember:
New buildings in the floodplain must be protected from flood damage. Our building code requires that new residential buildings must be elevated two feet above the base flood level. The ordinance also requires that all substantial improvements to a building be treated as a new building. A substantial improvement is when the value of an addition, alteration, repair or reconstruction project exceeds 50% of the value of the existing building. In the case of an addition, only the addition must be protected. In the case of an improvement to the original building, the entire building must be protected.
This rule also applies to substantially damaged buildings. For example, if a house is flooded, has a fire, is hit by a tornado, or is otherwise damaged so that the cost of repairs is more than 50% of the value of the building before the damage, then the house must be elevated above the base flood level.
These regulations are designed to protect you and your neighbors. By keeping the drainage system clear and getting the proper permits before you build, we can prevent flooding and other drainage problems.
The Village Building Department in the Village Hall (349-6666) provides the following:
Flood maps and flood protection references are also available at the Tinley Park Public Library or www.tplibrary.org
What the Village is doing:
Orland Hills' has adopted a Flood Protection Plan. Copies are at the Tinley Park Public Library and Village Hall. It was prepared by a special flood planning committee that included citizens and floodplain residents.
The Plan recommended a series of activities, many of which are already underway. These include strengthening the Village's regulations on new construction, formalizing the channel maintenance procedures, correcting specific problems on 93rd Avenue, and informing residents about what they can do to protect themselves from flooding.
The flood planning committee meets periodically to review progress and recommend new flood projects. You are welcome to attend these meetings. Contact the Village Hall for more information.
What you can do:
You can implement one or more flood protection measures, purchase flood insurance, make an emergency plan and help the Village enforce its regulations against stream dumping and improper construction. These topics are discussed in Guide to Flood Protection and will be covered in future newsletters.
If you see building or filling without a Village permit sign posted, contact the Building Department at 349-6666. The project may increase flooding on your property.
More information on flooding can be found on the FEMA Website: http://www.fema.gov/hazard/flood/info.shtm

Looking for new SF books hiding in the general fiction section
I like science fiction books that are placed in the general fiction section - but for me they are hard to find on Amazon or in libraries. Examples of these kinds of books are The Sparrow, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, Oryx and Crake, Cloud Atlas and The Dog Stars ... but I need more new stuff - any suggestions?

A revolutionary x-ray system designed by Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray gives food and pharmaceutical manufacturers the same high level of foreign body detection sensitivity as a traditional x-ray system using just a fifth of the power.
Developed as a result of collaboration between Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray and its customers the X3310's detector technology represents the next generation of x-ray inspection.
The X3310's sensitive x-ray detector boosts exceptional detection of foreign bodies such as glass, metal, stone, high-density plastic and bone fragments, as well as simultaneously performing gross mass measurement for calculated portion control.
The x-ray system is ideally suited to the inspection of small and medium sized packaged products and gives food and pharmaceutical manufacturers the market-leading product inspection technology needed to guarantee superior product safety.
The system has a single vertical x-ray beam and is available in 300mm or 400mm detector widths to suit a wide range of applications.
The technology uses a 20 watt x-ray generator rather than the 100 watt generator used in traditional x-ray machines, lowering energy consumption and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
This also results in a reduction of x-ray emissions meaning thinner stainless steel is used for the x-ray cabinet, making the machine more environmentally friendly.
Under typical operating conditions, the entire X3310 system uses 20 per cent less energy, significantly reducing manufacturing costs for food and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
This overall reduced power consumption eliminates the need for a complex cooling system, allowing the X3310 to be housed in a slimline 300mm cabinet.
The reduced footprint increases installation flexibility for food and pharmaceutical manufacturers with limited factory floor space.
The new technology's reduced x-ray power output has enabled Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray to incorporate a larger window on the reject bin than traditional systems, facilitating straight-forward calibration of the rejection system and simplifying product set-up.
In addition, the machine's casing is hygienically designed for easy cleaning, with curved and sloping surfaces enabling water to run-off.
"The X3310 system is the cutting edge of product inspection", says Daniela Verhaeg, Marketing Manager, Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray.
Verhaeg continued, "Our revolutionary x-ray system maximizes productivity and profitability for food and pharmaceutical manufacturers, reduces energy consumption while meeting and exceeding global and retailer food safety initiatives".
In comparison with earlier generations of x-ray inspection systems, the control system for the X3310 has been simplified to lower maintenance time and costs, without losing any functionality or performance.
The system has been designed with gas-strut assisted lids and doors for ease of access to internal mechanisms.
The machine's light-emitting diode (LED) backlit touch screen display is twice the size of those used in standard x-ray detectors and is set at the global average operator height.
To further facilitate access, quarter turn door locks have been added to the front of the system and an enhanced tracking system simplifies conveyor set-up.
The X3310 provides an improved user experience with new software and a fully-updated user interface.
The X3310's new Ethernet-enabled software is icon driven and features touch and scroll, enabling the operator to have full control over the system and ensuring it is easy to use with minimal training and without previous x-ray knowledge.

Blue Cranes
Hailing from the fertile scene of Portland, Oregon, the Blue Cranes create music that is as invigorating as it is disarming. Working a thin line between improvisation and catchiness, Blue Cranes arrive at a unique place. They have found a way to make exploration seem like the most enjoyable process around.
The group, composed of Reed Wallsmith (alto saxophone), Joe "Sly Pig" Cunningham (tenor saxophone), Rebecca Sanborn (keyboards), Keith Brush (acoustic bass), and Ji Tanzer (drums), began working together as a quintet in 2007 (originally recording as a quartet in 2006). Over the past three years, the band has begun to reap the rewards of a collective articulation: a truly individual sound that depends on the contributions of each member.Read more

A couple months back we wrote that Bell officially gave the Galaxy Nexus its end of live, which basically means that they informed employees to sell the inventory as stock would not be replenished. That was mid-October. Since then LG and Google partnered up to release the Nexus 4.
According to this internal doc it seems that there might be some lingering Galaxy Nexus stock as Bell has completely slashed it's outright price to a low $349.95. At that price it's certainly something to think about. However, we could add some speculation to this move. Regional Quebec carrier Videotron announced today that the Nexus 4 would be hitting their stores on January 30th, so perhaps Bell is prepping their shelves for the Nexus 4 as well…

Prepping for mother's day
It also occurred to me, after a phone call from Daddy Y saying he left his glasses at home, that we will be passing one of our favorite parks on the way, and since it is 1 year old's birthday, we should stop there on the way back for some special fun! A great idea, right? Sure why not. I might get some good pictures for mother's day out of the deal too!
This leaves me with the afternoon napping to plan for a craft to execute tomorrow before two of the three are done for the weekend.
What will we do??? Gotta say I'm liking these footprint butterflies from Story Soup Kids. Since the kiddo's have been begging to paint this week they'll really enjoy that one. As an added bonus, there's a Mother's Day poem to attach. Lucky day! And then there was this idea for cards from Aunt Peaches. It's a great idea for photo confetti cards and it's fantastically simple!
Gotta run!
2 comments:
Okay, BOTH of those ideas are just awesome! I would LOVE to get those from my kiddos, and they're both teens, haha. I say do em both. Have the kids make the butterflies and poems for their moms' walls, and cards for their moms' desks (at home or work). Yeah, it's a lot of work, but c'mon, moms are so worth it!ReplyDeleteReplies
Mom's are DEFINITELY worth it! LOL... unfortunately, I did not go purchase the CD envelopes last night. No practice for Cosmo and Amazing combined with Daddy Y being available to get Awesome from track meant I didn't leave the house. It was fantastic. We will be doing footprints this morning. I'll save the CD cover for Father's Day next month.Delete
Wow, it's like I planned something a month in advance! (Wait, when is father's day??? loll)

TUESDAY, Oct. 16 (HealthDay News) -- A technique known as "mother's kiss" is safe and generally effective for removing foreign objects from children's noses, according to a review published online Oct. 15 in CMAJ, the journal of the Canadian Medical Association.
Stephanie Cook, B.M., B.Ch., of the Buxted Medical Centre in the United Kingdom, and colleagues conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the mother's kiss technique for removing foreign bodies from children's nasal cavities. The technique is performed by covering the child's mouth with the mother's mouth to form a seal, blocking the clear nostril with her finger, then blowing into the child's mouth. The puff of air can result in expulsion of the foreign body.
Eight studies were included in the analysis involving 152 children aged 1 to 8 years. The researchers found that the overall success rate was 59.9 percent. No adverse effects were reported in any of the published studies.
"The mother's kiss appears to be a safe and effective technique for first-line treatment in the removal of a foreign body from the nasal cavity," the authors write. "In addition, it may prevent the need for general anesthesia in some cases."

A new study finds colorectal cancer patients with Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer or HNPCC) have better survival than patients without the inherited form of the disease. Overall, 94 percent of Lynch syndrome patients were alive five years after their diagnosis compared to 75 percent of those with sporadic cancer.
Italian researchers studied all patients with colorectal cancer treated at a cancer institute in Rome between 1970 and 1993. Patients who met the Amsterdam I criteria were diagnosed as having Lynch syndrome (HNPCC). During that time 40 patients, 25 women and 15 men, had Lynch syndrome. 573 patients, 312 women and 261 men had sporadic colon or rectal cancer.
The average age at diagnosis for sporadic cancer patients was 61, while Lynch syndrome patients were diagnosed younger at an average age of 47. Lynch patients were more likely to have right-sided tumors than sporadic colorectal cancer patients (85 percent versus 57 percent.)
Stage at diagnosis did not differ significantly with 70 percent of Lynch patients and 62 percent of sporadic patients diagnosed with stage I or II cancers.
- For early stage I and II cancers, 96 percent of Lynch and 84 percent of sporadic patients survived five years.
- At stage III, 93 percent of Lynch and 64 percent of sporadic patients were alive five years later
Vittoria Stigliano and her colleagues concluded,
Our results show that overall survival of colorectal cancer in patients with HNPCC is better than sporadic CRC patients. The different outcome probably relates to the specific tumorigenesis involving DNA mismatch repair dysfunction.
Lynch syndrome is an inherited cancer syndrome, passed directly from parent to child, and caused by mutations in the genes that repair damaged DNA. It is responsible for 3 to 5 percent of colorectal cancer, as well as some uterine, ovarian, and other associated cancers. Lynch syndrome colon cancers are usually diagnosed in younger people, in the right side of the colon, and have high microsatellite instability. Genetic testing can identify the genes that cause them to make a definite diagnosis.
In the Italian study, the Amsterdam I criteria (below) based on family history was used to select patients with Lynch syndrome. However, some patients whose families meet Amsterdam criteria do not, in fact, test positive for known mismatch repair genes.
Amsterdam I Criteria
- Three or more family members with a confirmed diagnosis of colorectal cancer, one of whom is a first degree (parent, child, sibling) relative of the other two
- Two successive affected generations
- One or more colon cancers diagnosed under the age of 50
- Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) has been excluded
