Adventures in Modern Rokoding
As readers are no doubt aware I'm an enthusiastic user of Apple products. Note that I didn't say fan - I am a fan of things that don't suck, and Apple generally delivers. But that's not to say that other organizations can't. One product that I particularly like is the video players from Roku. A feature that they have (at least in their top of the line models) that is missing in the the Apple TV is the ability to play back video from a USB thumb drive. These days 64g memory sticks are cheap and plentiful, which means that one has the ability to haul around a pretty decent video collection in a volume approximately equal to a couple deck of cards, that (unlike Netflix) doesn't need a decent Internet connection, or indeed any Internet connection at all.
I know what you're thinking… RS must get the videos by bittorrenting them right? Bzzt, no. Even if I didn't work for a company that's "in the business", I've never been big on stealing. Imagining for a moment some hypothetical world in which I had flexible morals, the above statement about being a fan of things that don't suck applies. From time to time I've used BT to look for a single program that our DVR should have recorded, but captured the end of a sportball game or a presidential address instead (thats's a pretty good defense against accusations of "stealing" since we should have had it via our cable subscription). With that limited exposure I've found the level of compression typically found in the torrent world to be annoying.
There's enough stuff on TV to fill my requirements. Some of it is even good. I have a Silicon Dust HD Homerun Prime, which is a little box with an F connector for cable TV, a slot for a cablecard, and a gigabit ethernet connector on the rear. I got mine on Black Friday sale at Amazon for $80 last fall; it typically sells for half again that much. MythTV knows how to talk to an HD Homerun Prime, as does NASDVR (much more approachable but fewer features). You can also talk to it with VLC and just record a transport stream to disk. This is sometimes exactly what you want, since it gives you the ability to start the recording a couple of minutes early and end it a couple of minutes late.
The VLC command is of the form:
cvlc http://192.0.2.30:5004/auto/v$CHANNEL --run-time=$DURATION vlc://quit --sout file/ts:$FILENAME
That will yield an mpeg2-ts file with mpeg2 video and ac3 audio, including all EIA-608/CEA-708 closed captions (not the same thing as subtitles!) and everything. Basically, it's the bits straight off the QAM signal that comes in on your cable, minus the conditional access encryption which is removed by the cablecard.
The good news is that there's no transcoding going on here, which is pleasant - in the cable tv ecosystem the encoder chain from the camera to you is already longer than optimal, and additional unnecessary transcoding only degrades the picture further while heating your home with CPU waste heat.
Sidebar: The cable industry is working on this, in no small part by taking satellites out of the equation and getting "mezzanine" (very high bitrate, very high quality) content over terrestrial fiber as the start point for encoding to various end-use codecs, resolutions, and bitrates in a single step. An article from 2013 refers to a contemporaneously published CableLabs spec that narrows down choices of mezzanine formats to three for the cable industry (there are actually a huge number of mezzanine formats in the wild).
Back to the transcoding question. One can of course play back the mpeg2 video on a laptop in VLC, but the Roku does not know what to do with an mpeg2-ts file. This is sad - the Roku already can ingest a .ts container (that's what HLS is based on) and no doubt the hardware capability to decode mpeg2 is there in the SoC; it's just a matter of whether it's worth the licensing fees and development time to get to that hardware codec enabled (and do the AC3 audio playback, which is also a licensed codec). The Raspberry Pi folks offer a decoder license (tied to a particular SBC serial number) for a couple of quid; the Roku folks have made the (probably correct) business decision to not offer this. After all, as an over-the-top device, Roku boxes are "in competition with" the Cable TV ecosystem, not necessarily "integrated with" the Cable TV ecosystem; there's no reason for them to support H.262 when they already have H.264.
That means we have to transcode one more time to a format that the Roku likes, and can be played back with either the Roku Media Player channel or something like Roksbox.
What does the Roku like? H.264 mp4 with AAC audio, Level 4.0, Main or High. They lay it out here albeit with suggested bit rates that are parsimonious and look ugly, even on a small screen.
ffmpeg and avconv work pretty well for transcoding, when one's source material is "clean", which is to say that it comes from a DVD or BluRay disk where the frame rate never shifts and there is good quality assurance on the encoding. One can't speak quite so kindly of the technical compromises that are made for carriage on cable TV plant, either to fit in more channels (squishing the bit rate hard) or just out of general sloppiness (frame rate changes when lower-third graphics cut in and out, for instance), and no matter what tricks I try, the ffmpeg family tends to fail to keep the audio and video in sync for certain content. This drives me bananas.
Fortunately, there's HandBrake (yes, the DVD ripping software) which does a pretty reasonable job of keeping the sync together and even tells you in the logs when it's doing minor time steps to preserve audio/video synchronization. There's a CLI version too, and in addition to the Mac it runs on Linux, which means I can run it in a virtualized environment on the server in the basement that has 2-4x as many cores as I have in any of my laptops. But it's a pain getting that installed, since the daily builds (what you want, alas) are not part of the default Ubuntu distribution and there's a lot of outdated information floating around as to how to add them in.
For Ubuntu 14.04, the proper series of incantations is:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install handbrake-cli
Then you'll have your binary (mixed-case, how very non-Unix!) in /usr/bin/HandBrakeCLI
I'll upload the encoder wrapper script I use (shows all the parameters) separately.
Now… you're probably wondering whether I get rid of the commercials. I'm starting to play with that. The trick is finding a video editor that can be used for simple cut-in and cut-out without transcoding when saving. This should be fairly straightforward; indeed in a J.83 system (North American cable), the MPEG2 has an I-frame every half second, so one should be OK just snipping at the closest I-frame and calling it done. You can even do it on the command line with avconv or ffmpeg (use the "copy" codec), but it's cumbersome.
On the Mac (actually cross-platform) there's an editing program called avidemux. Despite the name it will work admirably on mpeg2-ts, if by "admirably" one means "can't handle HD (only SD)", "crashes when you try to seek past the end of the file" and "user interface is the typical Linux-level consistency that you've come to expect from stuff with an UI written in Qt". You can install it from homebrew, but your time might be better spent digging through Google output and buttonholing friends looking for an editor. So I'm still looking.
Another thing I'm working on is getting closed captioning working. My wife likes having it turned on, and my mother in law is hard of hearing, so that's a plus. There's a program called "ccextractor" that will extract the EIA-608/CEA-708 captions and stick them in a .srt file. The problem has been getting Roksbox or Roku Media Player to do anything intelligent with them, despite following instructions.
So, all this is a work in progress. At least the video seems to be coming out OK. Maybe someone who reads this can share video editor recommendations or .srt clues.

It Was Twenty Years Ago Today
My mother so kindly reminded me that on this date twenty years ago, June 7, 1988, I graduated from high school.
So young! So thin! So naive! So unprepared for college and the life beyond my small town high school!
If you had told me twenty years ago that I'd help plan our class reunions I would have laughed in your face and said "Fat f**kin' chance of that!"
To be honest, I had a raging case of "senior-itis" back then; I couldn't wait to get the hell away from the people I'd spent the better part of twelve years with. Knowing that my parents' divorce was imminent didn't help matters either, in fact, it was June 8, 1988 that my mother and I moved out of the house and left my dad. Not fun at any age, I don't care how you look at it.
Life moves on, and life moves pretty fast, if the past twenty years are any gauge. Twenty years! I hate associating double digits with my life! Where did the time go? Waaaaaaaaahhhh!
Not really. I'm amazed that I've done what I've done (and who I've done...HA!); for instance I never thought I'd graduate from college, on the dean's list no less. But I'm right where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to be doing.
And I've got a fabulous outfit to wear to the reunion.

The Egyptian Tarot of Thelema trump for the 28th path of Aries is Hrumachis IV. Hrumachis, the Egyptian Sphinx, has various names, including Hormaku, Horakhty and Ra Hoor Khuit. The esoteric title of the Tarot trump, traditionally called 'The Emperor', is Son of the Morning: Chief among the Mighty.[1]
The Egyptian hieroglyphic name of Hor-em-akhet, from which the Greek Hrumachis is derived, is at the top of the Tarot picture. In the centre is Ra-Mentu or Ra Hoor Khuit, based on his image depicted on the Stele of Revealing. As Hrumachis, Horus is fully raised to the sky or heaven. The Sun and Serpent crown affirm his identity with both Ra and Typhon-Apophis. He wears the leopard spots, emblematic of the 'space-marks' or stars and the gift of divine prophecy.[2] His nemmys is night-blue, the colour of the body of Nuit, which encompasses the whole horizon.
The 10 stars on the platform of the throne are the sephiroth in Malkuth of Assiah. The 22 stars grouped around the rectangular symbol of the Golden Mean (phi ratio) on the throne, the Foundation of the Universe, are the 22 scales of the Serpent of Wisdom. The God bears the Set-headed was sceptre of priestly will, ordinance or authority in his left hand. With his right hand he sends forth spiritual power.
In the lower section of the Tarot picture, beneath the throne of Hrumachis, is the hieroglyphic name of the Sphinx who gazes eternally at the equinoctial point on the horizon. The horizon is depicted here by the akhet, the 'sun in the horizon'.
The astroglyphs for Aries and the Sun are shown on the border at the top of the card, for the Sun achieves his exaltation in Aries at the vernal equinox. On the lower edge of the card is the astroglyph for Mars, the ruling planet. Next to that is the symbol of alchemical Sulphur.[3] Tzaddi, the letter of the 28th path of Aries, is to the right of the title.
In the (Egyptian) Book of the Law, Liber AL, III: 34, Hrumachis is the name of Horus as risen Khu, or Sphinx.
But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries: though with fire and sword it be burnt down and shattered, yet an invisible house there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded one assume my throne and place.
Hrumachis is the 'Lord of the Double Wand of Power' of Liber AL, III: 72.
I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia—but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; and nought remains.
The word is uttered at Thebes (Waset), the 'Place of Ordinance' in the South. The sonic vibration or 93 Current is sent forth upon the light-flowing stream of the Nile until it is received by the priests of Heliopolis (Aunnu) in the North. There, in the holy city dedicated to the mysteries of the Phoenix, Hathoor gives birth to Horus by divine parthenogenesis (i.e., without the intervention of a father). Likewise, Nuit gives birth to Set, her star of manifestation—As above, so below. Horus ascends to the sky or heaven as an immortal Khu. Lkewise, the soul achieves resurrection by the magical power of utterance.[4]
The mysteries of Hrumachis, the enigmatic Sphinx, are further revealed in the hieroglyphic name: Hor-em-akhet, 'Horus in the horizon'. The variant form, Horakhty, is literally, 'Ra who is Horus of the two Horizons'. The akhet, or aker, is a gateway or door. The double lion-gate of the sun's ingress and egress to and from the underworld (spring and autumn equinoxes) refers to Horus as the abstract principle of the horizon itself. It is a particular part of the sky—for example, where the sun rises at the equinox—and an equivalent portion of the Egyptian underworld. The name of Horus as 'horizon', or 'dweller in the horizon', relates to the circle as does his eye. The horizon symbolises the primordial boundary or limit. It is the division or utterance (Logos) by which we define the shape and meaning of the universe. The horizon also designates the boundary or crossing, the way of passing all liminal thresholds.
Hrumachis was often depicted as a lion with the head of a woman as with the Sphinx of the Giza plateau. At other times the neter took the form of a hawk or ram—especially when linked to the god Khephra, the rising or emerging sun at dawn.
Hrumachis is sometimes called HU, 'authority' or 'will' in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts. In some passages of The Book of Coming Forth into Light Ra is said to divide himself into two parts, HU, Will, and SIA, Mind (Greek Nous).[5] These are Chokmah and Binah of the Qabalah. Kings of Egypt were 'Sons of Ra' (Horus) from at least the 2nd Dynasty onwards.
Hrumachis, Lord of the Equinox
The Sun's entry into Aries signifies springtime in the northern hemisphere. The full Moon after the equinox is in Libra, marking the first of the two balances of the year. The equinoxes are the aker gateways of the year leading into and out of manifestation. The head of the Sphinx of Egypt points towards the vernal equinox on the horizon; her tail marks the 'fall' or autumnal equinox. Thus, Hrumachis is Lord of all Aeons in time and space and that which is beyond all.
Sphinx of Nature
The (Thelemic) key-scale Qabalistic correspondences for Hrumachis are of Tzaddi, the 28th path of the Tree of Life. The path extends upwards from Yesod (Moon) to Netzach (Venus).[5] The title of the 28th path is the Natural Intelligence, for it is the perfection of the nature of all things under the orb of the Sun. The desire of Venus reflected into the mirror of the Moon makes impressions upon the Astral Light. Much of the work of occultism is to create new forms as suitable vehicles for the incarnation of the mystic will to transcendence. The magical arts require that key symbols are held and fixed by concentration of will. On the other side of the coin, forms are created to ensnare and enslave the soul, as revealed by the 'fishhook' of the letter tzaddi. As such, Hrumachis is the magical power itself. Indeed, there is a close identification between Hrumachis and Khephra when all images are combined into the one image called Sekher Neter, 'Neter of Neters'.
The magical power of the 28th path is the Power of Consecrating Things. To consecrate a thing is to reserve it for a special purpose; it is to make a thing sacred. Nothing is made sacred, however, that was not already sacred from the beginning. The mystic path thus involves travelling backwards, following the symbol back to its source with all other symbols in the infinite.
The Aries Equinox and 28th path embody the principle of Governance. Horus is the pharaoh or king in his life on earth. As Hrumachis or Hormaku he is all-transcendent. The governance of the life of earth is translated to that of world-systems. As Hrumachis, the Initiate has passed utterly beyond.
Qabalah of Hrumachis
The name 'Hrumachis' is given in the Book of the Law, III: 34. By Greek values, Hrumachis (Ερυμαχις) is equal to 1,356. The number 1,356 is symbolically the 'love of Nu', as 'love' or 'union' (13) and 'Nu' (56). As declared in Liber AL, II: 77,
But remember, o chosen one, to be me; to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men, to tell them this glad word.
When 1,356 is divided by its factor of 2, Hrumachis is equal to 678, ATh H-KRBIM (Eth ha-Kerubim). The Kerubim guard the Garden of Eden as recounted in the book of Genesis, 3: 24.
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
The Kerubim are likened to the Sphinx, having four 'faces' or cardinal quarters and zodiacal types, which are the Lion, Eagle, Angel and Bull. The number 678 is also that of ORBVTh (Araboth), the 7th Heaven, which is the mystic pyramid of the three supernal sephiroth beyond the Abyss.
When 1,356 is triangulated, Hrumachis is equal to 452, ThBN, the 'Head of the Dragon'. Thuban is the true pole star, the perfect alignment of heaven and earth.
When 1,356 is divided by 6, Hrumachis is equal to 226, the number of ChQH ChQH, 'Likewise the same'. ChQH is associated with the Khu as immortal body and risen soul. The transformation of the Khu involves the magick of becoming 'alike unto the God'. DBRK (davrek), also 226, is 'Thy word' from the book of Psalms, 119: 105,
The word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
The word DBRK may also be construed as 'Door of Avrek', that is, the Gate of Sirius, the Star of Egypt and manifestation of Nuit. TzPVN, 226, is identical in sound and meaning to Typhon, the Greek name of Set or Apophis. The meanings of the word include 'profound, hidden' and 'North'. The North is the place of Set-Typhon and therefore the arising of power in the magick circle between the two pillars. The number 226 is also equal to the Enochian URAN, the 'Ancient Ones' who preceded the race of men.
When 1,356 is divided by its factor of 113, Hrumachis is equal to 12, the number of the Zodiac. The number 12 is also the mystic number of Kether as HVA. The name HVA is etymologically related to HU, 'Will', an Egyptian name of the Sphinx. HU also happens to be a Druidic name of the Sun and the name of a Babylonian sky god.
Finally, 1,356 concentrates to 15, the Grand Number of the Pentagram and a number of Set-Typhon. In the rituals of the pentagram, the four 'faces' of the Sphinx of Nature are made manifest about the magick circle of the place. The will of the magician, Hadit in the midst, is the mysterious or esoteric 'cause' of the apparition. The 15th day is that of the full Moon, when Horus is fully revealed as Khonsu the Sky-Traveller. The first full Moon after the spring equinox is the 'real' or natural Easter. Eostre is the ancient festival of flowers, kalas or 'moments in time'. It is by 'seizing the moment', the correct divining of the space-marks in time, that Horus is transformed into a Khu. The soul thereby achieves her resurrection as an immortal star in the company of heaven.
1. The esoteric title of the Tarot trump is Son of the Morning, Chief among the Mighty. Lucifer or Satan, in Christian terms, is generally thought to be the 'son of the morning' referred to in the book of Isaiah, 14: 12, which is a title of Venus as the Morning Star. The title of the 4th Tarot Atu is incorrectly given in Crowley's 'acquired' work, Liber 777, as Sun of the Morning. The title refers to Venus, not the Sun. Chief Among the Mighty refers to the original Golden Dawn placement of the trump on the 15th path from Chokmah to Tiphereth. Curiously, Son of the Morning adumbrates the change of placement to the 28th path of Tzaddi recommended by Aiwass in the (Egyptian) Book of the Law, I: 57.
2. The akha hieroglyph of the Sun on the horizon, shown in the lower section of the picture with the akhet lion or Sphinx, has various meanings including 'moment in time', 'appearance' or 'ordination'. In Liber AL, I: 52, Nuit conveys a warning concerning the divination of 'space-marks':
If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying: They are one; or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me: then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit!
Space-marks have cosmic and earthly import; in the body of the Shakti or Scarlet Woman such 'moments' may equally be termed as 'colours', 'kalas', 'shades' or 'emanations'.
3. This is one of three Tarot trumps corresponding to the principles of Salt, Sulphur and Mercury.
4. The transformation of the soul into a living Khu, the mysterious assumption of Horus the divine hawk and his relation with the Sphinx is revealed in our translation of Egyptian papyrus Spell 78. The translation and commentary is given in, 'Liber 364 vel Lux Occulta', Babalon Unveiled! Thelemic Monographs.
5. The Book of Coming forth into Light is the more accurate name of the book falsely named 'The Egyptian Book of the Dead' by tomb robbers and Egyptologists,
6. Crowley did not revise the tables in Liber 777 to accord with the (Egyptian) Book of the Law, I: 57: "All these old letters of my Book are aright; but Tzaddi is not the Star." Therefore in 777, the magical powers, weapons, gemstones and other correspondences of Aries are with the 15th and not the 28th path. The 15th path is properly that of Tarot Atu the Star XVII and zodiacal sign of Aquarius.
The Egyptian Tarot of Thelema is an entirely new concept in the field of practical magick, divination and Thelema. The Tarot is a work in progress. The 12 Zodiac trumps can be viewed here.

Hello! My name Ella and I moved to Dallas from Nebraska almost a year ago. I moved to Dallas to pursue a career in advertising and currently work as an Account Executive at Moroch. I absolutely love Dallas and the amazing energy of this city! I've gotten very involved in the fitness community here and absolutely keeping my schedule busy with cycling and yoga classes. Once I got settled down in Dallas, I realized I was missing two very important aspects from home: dogs and children! I have started watching dogs since living in Dallas, but have yet to find a way to connect with children. I have a 10 year old sister at home who is always just a Facetime away, but I would love to have more kid time in my life! I always babysat growing up and have a large network of families to babysit for in Nebraska, and I'm looking to do the same in Dallas!
I was a competitive dancer until I graduated High School and then continued to teach dance to children until I moved away. I always end up turning on music and dancing around with kids! However, I'm extremely go with the flow and always love a good game of hide and seek, going on walks, or playing a board game. I'm really up for whatever your child wants to do!

PESCALEX 2 progress meeting in HAKI Szarvas Hungary
Author: Margaret Eleftheriou
31 31 2010
New Development of Language Game
The Progress meeting which took place in the Research Institute for Fisheries, Aquaculture and Irrigation (HAKI) centre was particularly important for the PESCALEX project as partners were able to see the draft version of the new PESCALEX Language Game. The final format (described in the last news bulletin) had been decided at a meeting in May between CETMAR, hosting the Demonstration Workshop, and AQUARK which is concerned with developing the game.
Importance of Keywords in VOLL Language Learning Methodology
Motivation is a crucial aspect of effective language learning. Dr Panos Christofilogiannis (AQUARK) has long held the opinion that while students working in aquaculture are often highly motivated learners, their needs could be better by concentrating on the keywords most useful in the workplace, rather than the purely academic approach favoured by many language providers. His idea was to create a role-playing game in which the participants play two parts: turbot farmers who have just spotted disease symptoms in their stock, and veterinary experts who can quickly give an accurate diagnosis and the correct treatment.
At the May meeting, some possible scenario were sketched out, which would involve the use of keywords from the PESCALEX course materials on fish diseases in turbot. The motivation for effective language learning would come from the need, in the role-playing exercise, for a fast diagnosis in order to control the disease outbreak.
PESCALEX Diagnostic Tool
All keywords would be programmed into a Diagnostic Tool fully functional in the PESCALEX partner languages. Participants would thus be able to access observed disease symptoms in their own language, but be able to communicate these symptoms in English (or another partner language) to the fish disease expert. The team role-playing as experts would then be able to receive the information in English (or another of the PESCALEX partner languages) and communicate their diagnosis back to the farmers in the appropriate language.
Tle new tool will be trialled at the European Aquaculture Society(EAS) meeting in Porto in October. The alpha version will be demonstrated and tested for its diagnostic identification capacity at an upcoming workshop which will be organised in October by the Spanish training organisation, CETMAR. Its capacity to facilitate communication between fish farmers and experts in a multi-lingual environment will undoubtedly improve diagnostic capacity for turbot. At present, the tool assists fish farmers to identify possible diseases. Future versions will include an ability to contact an identified expert who can also be sent fish samples. The expert will then be able to use the tool during the identification process to further narrow the list of possible diseases and email the fish farmer the result.
Future prospects
The meeting highlighted the huge potential that PESCALEX 2 has in going forward and the secretariat would like to thank our Hungarian partners for their hospitality and for making the progress meeting such a success.

City of Franklin, TNHome Menu
Business Opportunities with the City
All procurement solicitations are subject to change at any time up to 72 hours prior to the submittal deadline for construction-related purchasing; 48 hours prior to the submittal deadline, excluding weekends and legal holidays, for non-construction-related purchasing. Changes to procurement solicitations are typically issued in the form of addenda. More than one addendum may be issued per solicitation. Addenda to procurement solicitations are typically posted in the table above. The City assumes no responsibility for informing vendors of the issuance of addenda. Rather, vendors who wish to compete for a particular procurement opportunity are exclusively responsible for determining whether any addenda have been issued for the corresponding solicitation.
**Notice of intent to award:
Posting tabulations of submittals in the Table of Business Opportunities above functions as the Franklin Purchasing Office issuing notice of intent to award for procurement solicitations facilitated by the Franklin Purchasing Office, and thus commences a finite window of opportunity for vendors to file a protest. A vendor who feels the need to object to either a deficiency of a procurement solicitation or a proposed award pertaining to a procurement solicitation facilitated by the Franklin Purchasing Office are encouraged to express their concerns to and seek remedy from the Purchasing Manager. Vendors who are not satisfied with, or who choose not to pursue, such an informal resolution of their concerns and who feel compelled to lodge a formal protest about some aspect of a City procurement not related to new construction shall do so pursuant to the City's Vendor Protest Procedure for City procurement's not pertaining to the design and/or construction of new infrastructure and facilities, a mandatory administrative procedure which all aggrieved actual or prospective vendors must utilize and exhaust prior to seeking judicial review or remedy.
Questions, requests for clarifications, and requests to revise the procurement solicitation: To ask questions, to request clarifications about any aspect of a particular procurement solicitation, or to request revisions to a procurement solicitation prior to the deadline for optional submittal in writing of questions seeking to revise or clarify any aspect of that procurement solicitation, please contact the City point of contact identified for the respective procurement solicitation. Depending upon the inquiry, the City may request that the question, request for clarification, or request for revision be submitted in writing, and the City may prepare and issue an addendum that publishes the inquiry and the City's response thereto.
Communication with City during procurement phase: Any questions about either the content of or the process pertaining to a particular procurement solicitation should be addressed as described above. Until the procurement award has been made, vendors shall not communicate about either the content of or the process pertaining to that procurement solicitation with any official, employee or other representative of the City except through the City point of contact identified for the respective procurement solicitation. The City reserves the right to disqualify any vendor that initiates unauthorized communication with the City during the procurement phase.

In general, four factors should be considered when choosing a palm tree for your property.
The first factor is the size of the tree at maturity. Remember that little palm for sale at a local nursery might reach a height of 50 feet or more as an adult tree overpowering the rest of your property, interfering with overhead cables and underground drains and perhaps, threatening buildings if the tree is planted too nearby. Make sure that the size of your palm at maturity is in keeping with your needs and overall landscape design.
The second factor is temperature. Most types of palm tree will not tolerate freezing weather and even a short bout of frost may weaken a tree and leave it vulnerable to insects and disease. In some areas the climate is simply too severe for successful palm growth. Check with your local nursery or tree expert for advice if you're unsure about growing conditions in your area.
The third factor is sunlight. Not all varieties of palm tree are equally sun tolerant. Some varieties, in fact, prefer shady conditions to full exposure. Keep this in mind when thinking of the kind of palm tree that would be best for you.
The final factor is water, while palm trees have long been associated with desert conditions in the wild, they are only found near abundant and continuous supplies of water. If you are thinking about planting a palm tree on your property, make sure that the tree will receive adequate water and be prepared to water a newly transplanted tree frequently while it acclimatizes.
Planting palm trees is similar, in most ways, to planting other kinds of trees. Nursery grown palms are generally sold potted, making replanting easier. Try to plant your tree shortly after purchase. If there is going to be any time lag between purchase and planting, make sure that the tree's root ball is kept moist but not soaking. Be careful when transporting and handling palm trees, the bark is easily damaged and damaged areas leave the tree vulnerable to insects and fungus.
The best time of year to plant is during the warmer months when the soil temperature is at least 65 degrees F. Although palms are slow growing and you will have to wait many years for your tree to reach maturity, young trees are attractive and will reward you with many years of pleasure.

If you like cheesecake, you will love these bars! I use my Easy Salted Caramel Sauce in these bars and also a healthy drizzle over the tops!
What I love about these bars, is they are a super easy Low Carb dessert that can be made in under and hour. They have such a wonderful creamy texture and amazing flavor from the salted caramel!
They are perfect for anyone who doesn't like to make a whole cheesecake in a water bath.
My husband (who's not on Keto) still raves about the Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce that I made last year. So I made these for him and he LOVED them! Honestly, they have such great flavor and you can't even tell they are Low Carb!
How to Make Keto Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars
For the Crust
1 1/2 cups super fine almond flour
1/3 cup grass-fed unsalted butter, melted
1 whole egg
1/3 cup swerve confectioners (or powdered erythritol)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
16 ounces cream cheese
1 batch Easy Salted Caramel Sauce, room temperature (see notes)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup swerve confectioners
2 whole eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
To Make the Crust
To Make the Filling
Notes: I used a whole batch of my Easy Salted Caramel Sauce in this recipe. I use 1/2 cup in the cheesecake batter and the rest drizzled over the top.
If you don't want to drizzle any over the top, be sure to use the entire recipe in the batter, otherwise they might not be sweet enough.
Using Parchment Paper
The parchment paper I used specifically for two reasons: the first is to make cleanup super easy and the second is to make it easier to pull the bars out of the baking dish. I buy it in bulk sheets from Amazon, unbleached and they come in a package with a large cardboard backing so there are no creases. If you don't have parchment paper, you can just use a non-stick spray before adding the dough.
The Dough
When I spread the dough into the baking dish, I wet my hands several times. The dough can be pretty sticky, so this makes it MUCH easier to spread. You could use a silicone spatula, but wet hands seem to work better.
The Salted Caramel Sauce
Once you add the 1/2 cup of salted caramel sauce to the batter, you will have some leftover from the batch, to drizzle over the top after they have cooled. When you're ready to drizzle the caramel, you'll need to reheat it first.
The best way to do this is to turn the stove on very low for just a minute or so, while whisking the whole time. Once the caramel has loosened up, you're ready to drizzle.
If you heat it too much, it could separate. If that happens, remove the pot from the heat and whisk in a tiny splash of heavy cream. This should bring it back together nicely.
Cutting and Serving
Use a sharp clean knife when you cut the cheesecake into squares. Be sure to wipe off the knife in between cuts, so your slices will come out clean. It's a little more work, but it's worth the effort!
You can also use the Salted Caramel Sauce to make my Salted Caramel Cheesecake Mousse!

6 of the Best Engagement Ring Styles from Small Brands
Wedding engagements are one of the most exciting times, and we're here to help you get started. Whether you just got engaged or are planning on getting engaged, we've got the best tips on how to find the right ring from more boutique jewelry brands, the right words, and the right time to propose.
Minimalist and Modern
If you're into a more Scandi style of interior design and like your fashion and jewelry just as modern and minimalist, there are lots of engagement ring designers on our radar that you need to know about. We're loving ethical companies like AU-Rate (who donate a book to a child in NYC with every purchase as well as their metals and diamonds being ethically sourced), Stone & Strand (dainty little pieces), and Tai Jewelry (a tropical modernist feel).
Heirloom Style
There something so romantic about being able to pass on your heirloom style jewel to your sons or daughters in the far future and for it to be appreciated as much as you do. With more ornate details and plenty of more individual settings, a vintage style engagement ring can be found via small brands such as Consider the Wildflowers, Apres Jewelry, and Mania Mania.
Colored Stones
If you're like me and appreciate a colored engagement ring, then check out small brands like Grew and Co and Foe & Dear who create incredibly beautiful rings with stones that aren't necessarily diamonds. From blush pinks to dark navy's, the color of your engagement ring should suit your neutral or more bold personality!
Unusual Shapes
Bored of the usual solitaire shapes and want something a little more different for your engagement ring? Check out engagement ring brands such as Meadowlark Jewelry and Natalie Marie who have single stones that are pear shaped or squares or multi-stoned rings that create a pattern or shape themselves.

I love true crime podcasts and I love trail running.
Usually, these are two fairly innocuous past times that don't interact with each other. But this past weekend, I was doing a 13-mile solo trail run. Fine. I was also listening to podcasts. Fine.
I was about halfway through the run when I realized that my entire podcast queue to that point had been true crime. My podcasts play in the order they were released – newest first – so this wasn't intentional. By the time I was done, I'd listened to nearly three hours of murder and mayhem.
Having nothing else to think about on the run and a constant stream of stories about serial killers in my ears, I got myself a bit worked up and more than a touch paranoid.
I'll leave aside the cultural conversation about the true crime genre or why the audience is mostly middle-aged, middle-class white women (a demographic I fully represent), and simply indulge my occasional walks on the dark side via true crime podcasts.
My Favorite True Crime Podcasts
My true crime love these days falls mostly on podcasts.
I originally got into true crime via books. And to this day, I'll occasionally have jags of watching too much Discovery ID, but increasingly, if I'm going to read or watch something, I want that content to be higher-quality than most true crime books and TV tends to be.
But podcasts? Those I'll listen to for hours on end – as my run last weekend proved.
There are a few subgenres within the true-crime podcast world and every listener has their favorites. There are the chatty, 'the crime is just the jumping-off point for talking about wacky stories from our lives' ones (these feel wrong to me- I don't mind the occasional off-handed funny comment or observation, but I don't think someone getting murdered is the time or place for wacky). The ones that basically only read the Wikipedia page (I don't need my hosts to be full-on investigative journalists, but at a minimum, do a Google search). And my favorite, the well-researched 'just-the-facts' ones.
For my true crime, I don't need all the flourishes and fluff. The stories are usually dramatic enough as is (incidentally, this is the same reason I hated the movie Titanic– the story is dramatic enough without Billy Zane running around with a gun, but I digress.)
My favorite true crime podcasts:
Casefile is from Australia and hosted by a man who steadfastly remains anonymous.
They present an interesting combo of cases from around the world, covering mostly solved cases, but they'll occasionally throw in an unsolved case.
Well researched and well presented.
1 new episode on (most) Saturdays
Generation Why
Two white guys yakking at each other? Hardly groundbreaking for a podcast. But still.
According to their site, the Generation Why hosts 'discuss theories and share their opinions on unsolved murders, controversies, mysteries, conspiracies, and true crime.'
They cover mostly American cases. I like that they have opinions about the criminal justice system, and they raise those opinions when relevant. However, they are still able to present cases in a (relatively) unbiased way.
1 new episode each Sunday
Sword & Scale
Sword & Scale can be too intense, even for me. They say they 'cover the ugly underbelly of true crime.'
They often rely heavily on the real audio from the cases they cover, the 911 tapes or the police interview/confession tapes, for example.
Actually listening to a murder confess to dismembering someone can be a tough listen (although I'm continually amazed at how the detectives remain totally unfazed by the interviews – no matter what is being confessed to).
When I'm in the mood for shocking, S&S fits the bill.
New episode every other Monday
Crime Junkie
Crime Junkie covers solved and unsolved murders, disappearances with a few conspiracies thrown in.
They often offer to start Go Fund Mes to pay for re-testing of DNA in cases. In most cases, they'd need the support of the police to actually do it (which I don't think has yet happened), but it is an interesting use of both the podcast and Go Fund Me platforms.
1 new episode every week
Thinking Sideways
Thinking Sideways has since ended, but the back catalog is still available.
They covered all things unsolved. Unsolved crimes, but also conspiracies and disappearances. I like that they reviewed all the possible theories, no matter how absurd, but never failed to point out the absurd theories for what they were.
No new episodes, but several years of episodes in the archive
Thoughts You Have When You Are A Trail Running True Crime Fan
On my almost-exclusively true crime-filled trail run last week, my mind started racing with every rustling bush (was the noise really just a rabbit in the undergrowth?). I started thinking about the one other car in the parking lot at the trailhead (surely it belonged to a serial killer…).
By the time I got back to my car (the trailhead parking lot now filled with cars), I'd come up with a whole list of signs you may be both the trail runner and true crime addict:
- You are convinced you'll find a body on a run
- You are convinced you'll end up a body in the woods
- Hear rustling in the woods? Definitely a serial killer
- Only one other car in the trailhead parking lot? It for sure belongs to a stalker or a serial killer
- The same car in the parking lot two days in a row? It must belong to victims who are dead in the woods. Should I call the police?
- Is having 3 pieces of self-defense gear too much or not enough? You can never be too careful…
- Is that guy running behind me really a serial killer? Sure he's wearing running gear, but you never know…
- I know exactly what to do if I get lost in the woods… At least, I know what NOT to do – I heard that story about the two girls in Panama.

For those of us who love Paducah, it wouldn't seem strange to find a song about our fair city gracing our lips. Over the years, several songwriters have felt the same, and tunes about Paducah entered into pop culture. Here's a round up of some of the best Paducah songs!
It Rained in Every Town Except Paducah
Tom T. Hall
Paducah has always been well-known to those in the country music scene. Its proximity to Nashville as well as its location on well-traveled tour routes makes it not only a popular concert spot but the inspiration for songs as well. Tom T. Hall, a Kentucky native himself, wrote a melancholic tune called "It Rained in Every Town Except Paducah" for his 1975 album I Wrote a Song About It. The song was the B-side to "Deal", a single from the album. "It Rained in Every Town Except Paducah" poetically equates the sunny disposition of Paducah to the bittersweet yet fond memories of a lost love. And just like that last ray of sunlight before a storm, the love didn't last forever, and eventually it rained in Paducah, too.
McKinney's Cotton Pickers
One of the oldest Paducah songs we discovered is "Paducah" by McKinney's Cotton Pickers from 1928. The song is an instrumental typical of the big-band era, and it was ultimately recorded by several different bands. It was composed by Don Redman who took over as the Cotton Pickers musical directer in the same year. He went on to arrange for Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, and Jimmy Dorsey. While the inspiration for "Paducah" is unknown, it may very well have come from the city's prominence as a river town. In the late 1920s, jazz made its way from New Orleans to points north and east as small bands and orchestras provided entertainment on river boats up and down our inland waterways. Many of the music leaders were familiar with Paducah as a river port.
Benny Goodman & Carmen Miranda
This may be the most well-known of the Paducah songs on our list. The song was part of the 1943 musical The Gang's All Here starring Alice Faye, James Ellision, and Carmen Miranda. The movie cemented Carmen Miranda's image as the lady with the big fruity hats. According to the University of Virginia Library, one scene shows dozens of women handling five foot tall bananas, which caused the censors in Miranda's home country of Portugal to block the film. US censors said that the chorus girls could hold the bananas at waist level, but not any lower. While bananas may have been an issue with censors, Paducah was not. "If you could see a certain town down south, I'll bet you fifteen cents you'd holler 'Shut my mouth!' I'm not exaggeratin' when I say there's not a sweeter town in the U.S.A."
Mention My Name in Sheboygan
Beatrice Kay
The song "Mention My Name in Sheboygan" is not about Paducah per se, but one of the three verses is. And even though Paducah was probably chosen due to its unique and "funny sounding name" (only to outsiders, and 99% of people who work in call centers, right?), the song is flattering and fun. The most popular version was recorded by the Everly Brothers who grew up just a little over 90 miles from here. But the most fun version of the song was recorded by Beatrice Kay in 1962. "Mention my name in Paducah. It's the greatest little town in the world. I know a gal there you'll simply adore. She was Miss Paducah back in 1904".
Space Monkey
John Prine
Ok, this song is admittedly not even close to being about Paducah. It's about a space monkey. But when Prine mentions American vodka from Paducah, the crowd goes wild!
Bawn in the Mash
No list of Paducah songs would be complete without one from our friends at Bawn in the Mash. This Paducah band has chronicled many aspects of life in our area, and it all started with their first album Welcome to the Atomic City. With songs like Land Between the Rivers, At the Hotel Irvin Cobb, Past the Painted Wall, and the Nuclear Waltz, Bawn sets the life of our region to music like no one else. For our selection, we simply chose the song "Paducah". "When you come 'round the bend to the mouth of the Tennessee, I'll meet you on the old market square, where the streets are all brick, the ladies are charming; we'll be docked in Paducah again."

These shredded chicken taquitos are perfect for dinner or as a fun party appetizer. Chicken breasts are cooked in a tomato sauce that's seasoned with a southwestern inspired spice blend. Then the chicken is shredded and added back to absorb the delicious sauce. We use flour tortillas to wrap the chicken with a little cheddar jack cheese and then we bake them until they're hot and crispy. Enjoy!
1 tbsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Kosher Salt, or to taste
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
½ tsp. Onion Powder
½ tsp. Cumin
¼ tsp. Black Pepper, or to taste
1 tbsp. Canola Oil, or use your favorite vegetable oil
2 Chicken Breast, boneless and skinless (about 1 lb.)
8 oz. can Tomato Sauce
8 oz. Water
18-20 Small Flour Tortillas
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Jack Cheese
Suggested sides for your chicken taquitos
Sour Cream
Hot Sauce
Sour Cream mixed with Hot Sauce for a Spicy Crema
Yellow Rice
Refried Beans
Preheat the oven to 350°F
Add the chili powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and black pepper to a small bowl, stir to combine, set aside.
Start the chicken and the sauce
Heat the canola oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook about 3 minutes per side, just to get the chicken going and to brown on the outside just a little bit. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set on a plate or pan. Don't worry that the chicken is not cooked all the way through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
Do not wash the skillet, set it back over medium heat and add the tomato sauce, water and prepared seasoning mix, stir well to combine. When the sauce comes to a simmer return the chicken to the skillet, cover and cook 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through. Note: Keep the sauce at a simmer, if it's not simmering, raise the heat a bit, if it's boiling too vigorously, lower the heat. Turn the chicken about half way through the cooking time, and stir the sauce occasionally.
Shred the chicken
Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is at least 165°F at its thickest part. Remove the chicken from the skillet and continue cooking the sauce, covered on low heat. Place the chicken on a cutting board or pan and shred using two forks. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook a few minutes until warmed through and most of the sauce is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Build the chicken taquitos
Place a tortilla wrap on a flat surface. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the shredded chicken mixture a little off center towards the side closest to you. Arrange the filling in a line so that it's not mounded. Add a generous pinch of the cheddar jack cheese over the chicken. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down on a baking sheet that's lined with parchment paper. Some liquid may come out of the taquito during the rolling process, keep a paper towel handy. Repeat until all of the shredded chicken filling is used up.
Bake the taquitos for about 20-25 minutes until the tortillas are nice and crispy on the outside. Cook's Notes: Keep an eye on the taquitos, check them after 15 minutes or so, just in case.
Makes 18-20 Taquitos

New York, New York (December 16, 2014) Author E.J. Simon says not only will artificial intelligence displace humans in the workplace, and roboticize warfare as referenced in today's New York Times, but asserts that artificial intelligence challenges the very role church plays in our lives – namely, the afterlife.
"Soon we will be able to duplicate ourselves – and our very consciousness – on our computers, and gain an afterlife without all the praying, fasting, confessing, tithing, and guilt that our respective religions require in return."
The New York Times piece reports on a century long study that was recently undertaken at Stanford University seeking to track the effects of artificial intelligence on the economy, war, and crime. Simon believes there will be substantial and significant changes for the economy. "The growing, unknown, power of AI – now recognized by such iconic figures as Stephen Hawkings and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, may challenge the monopoly that religions have had on the answer to the biggest question of all: what happens when we die."
Simon's books Death Never Sleeps (a #2 bestseller, moving over 80,000 copies), and Death Logs In feature one of contemporary fictions only artificial intelligence based protagonists, Alex Nicholas, a gunned down Mafioso that duplicated himself on a computer before his death, a computer his corporate CEO brother, Michael, uses to unravel a conspiracy that reaches to the highest offices at the Vatican.
"The church has had a monopoly on life after death for centuries, it's the ultimate allure of any religion – that guaranteed reservation into heaven or hell and the opportunity for immortality. Now we can immortalize ourselves on a laptop. Online services like LifeNaut and others, allow you to record all of your expressions, answer questions about your life and history in a way that creates a virtual you – one that can have a conversation with anyone – one that will be here long after you're gone. The ability to do this wasn't possible when I wrote my first book, I created it– now it's here, and developing rapidly. We have yet to understand it's full potential."
E.J. Simon the former CEO of GMAC Global Relocation Services (a division of GM), and the Managing Director of Douglas Elliman, the largest real estate company in New York.

Finding True HealingAuthor: The Journey Online Team
Few things in life can change our lives as quickly as illness. Whether you are facing your own sickness or you walking with someone who is ill, your whole world has been turned upside down.
Illness can happen to anyone. Until it happens to us, we might believe it only happens to others. Some people are judgmental and imagine that illness happens because of some bad thing that a person has done. When we become sick, we suddenly understand that illness just happens. We weren't looking for it. We certainly didn't ask for it. But once it comes, nothing stays the same.
The physical pain is horrible, but nothing compared to the sense of loss we feel. Our hopes and dreams can be crushed under the weight of sickness. Worst of all, few people understand the pain and fewer still know what to say when illness gets us down.
There is hope! God created us to live healthy, abundant lives but mankind rebelled against God. Now, we face sickness and disease as a way of life. God knows that. He sent His one and only Son to earth to be our healer!
But, the world did not receive Christ. Instead, they beat Him, subjected Him to a mock trial and then hung Him on a cross! Jesus died on that cross to take away our sins and provide for our healing. The Bible declares that, "by his wounds we are healed," (Isaiah 53:5).
You might wonder if God heals everyone who calls on Him. The answer is simple, no. Not always. But, He allows us to go to Him and ask. He wants us to first find healing for our soul. Sometimes, those who have suffered sickness discover that is enough.
The truth is that God does not promise to heal everyone who ever faces sickness. Sometimes, He waits. At other times, the person who faced sickness never receives the healing they sought in this life. BUT, there is something more that God promises to those who call out to Him for forgiveness. It is His promise of eternal life.
The Bible is clear that all of us will die. That is the cost of sin in our world. But, the gift God offers each of whether we are healthy or not is life after death. How can you be sure to receive this promise?
It is as simple as a genuinely crying out to God in prayer. "Dear Jesus, I am sorry for the wrong things I have done. I need Your forgiveness and Your healing. I need You as my Lord and Savior. Help me to start a new life in You. In Jesus' name, amen!" If you prayed that prayer, click the button to the right of this article that says: "I prayed the prayer." When you do, someone will connect with you and help you take the next step forward. (We will not share your information.)

Hi. Need repair for Fagor Oven 6H-50X. During usage, oven stops working though still switched on and the "auto" symbol flashes. Even when resetting the temp and function dials back to 0, the oven wouldnt work.
