The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council reports that 7 billion hot dogs will likely end up in stomachs across the United States this summer. That's about 22 hot dogs per American between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta were the country's biggest hot dog guzzlers last year, but the all-American dish has a presence from sea to shining sea. Styles vary across the country, from types of meat to acceptable condiments and toppings. To celebrate National Hot Dog Day on July 23, we've rounded up the best places to go for wieners in every state. Below are the winners.
Gus's Hot Dogs | Birmingham
Don't be put off by the parking garage location—Gus sells some of the most popular hot dogs in town at deliciously low prices.
M.A.'s Gourmet Dogs | Anchorage
Elsewhere you'll see bison dogs—here, it's a reindeer dog. Sorry, Rudolph.
El Guero Canelo | Tucson
With four locations around Tucson, this is one of the most famous places to try a Sonoran-style hot dog.
Buffalo Grill | Little Rock
Little Rock is the birthplace of the cheese dog (that is, a hot dog with cheese inside), but at Buffalo Grill it's all about the chili dog.
Pink's Hot Dogs | Los Angeles
MapQuest editor-in-chief Mike Yessis says you can't go wrong at Pink's in California. It's an L.A. landmark with Hollywood ties. Choose from good classic dogs and over-the-top celebrity-themed dogs.
Coney Island | Bailey
Eat a dog, in a dog. (The stand is shaped like a giant hot dog.) This spot is a favorite of MapQuest engineer Devin Brown.
Super Duper Weenie | Fairfield
MapQuest's Dave Ciaburro says it's all about fresh ingredients with these split and grilled dogs. Heap a Chicago dog with one of the homemade relishes.
The Dog House | New Castle
A nostalgic favorite of Wilmington locals and those passing through on the highway, this hot dog joint is famous for its footlong dogs.
Ben's Chili Bowl | U Street
What do President Obama and MapQuest's social fellow Mariel Rothman have in common? They're both fans of the classic chili dogs at this D.C. landmark.
Hot Dog Heaven | Orlando
Here is a little slice of Chicago in Central Florida, with authentic Vienna Beef dogs. Rumor has it you won't get yelled at for adding ketchup, though.
Brandi's World Famous Hot Dogs | Marietta
This place is cash-only, lunch-only and almost always has a line out the door. For an extra kick try the spicy dogs with chili.
Puka Dog | Kauai
These are hot dogs with a Hawaiian twist, like taro buns and tropical fruit relish.
Twin Falls County Fair | Filer
Twin Falls is the birthplace of "tater pigs," a marriage of hot dogs and Idaho potatoes. Basically, it's a sausage or a dog stuffed into a baked potato instead of a bun.
Wiener Circle | Chicago
A list of the best Chicago dogs could run longer than this one. We've praised the hot dogs at Wrigley and U.S. Cellular Field before, but for this list the spotlight goes to Wiener Circle. MapQuest's Libby McIlhany loves the sassy service and excellent Chicago-style dogs here.
King David Dogs | Indianapolis
Neighbor state Illinois hogs much of the hot dog fame, but Indiana has a healthy assortment of hot dog shops, too. About 15 styles of dogs at King David—from Chicago to Hawaiian to the hometown Indy Dog leave plenty of choices for wiener fans.
Iowa State Fair | Des Moines
Food on a stick gets weird at the Iowa State Fair (salad on a stick?), but you can't go wrong with the original corndog at this corn-heavy state. Or for something different, try a cornbrat, a bratwurst in corndog batter. On a stick, of course.
New York Dog Pound | Shawnee Mission
Buck Night hot dogs at Kauffman Stadium across the state line are pretty great, but on the Kansas side this is the hot dog spot, where the dogs are good and the deals are better.
Lonnie's Best Taste of Chicago | Louisville
This is the place to go if you want a Chicago-style hot dog in Louisville. The six dogs on the menu are all named after Windy City streets.
Dat Dog | New Orleans
Who dat? Dat Dog. This colorful open air hot dog shed serves a range of classics, plus some local specialties like the alligator dog.
Flo's Hot Dogs | Cape Neddick
Mainers have been coming to Flo's for spicy dogs paired with sweet relish (it's a secret family recipe, but you can buy some to take home with you).
Stuggy's | Baltimore
Stuggy's lets you be the chef: choose your type of meat then pick from a creative range of toppings (you're in Baltimore, so try the crab mac n' cheese).
Fenway Franks | Boston
It doesn't get much better than a Fenway Frank at Fenway Park. MapQuest's Brian Fitzgerald, says this is the classic, perfected.
Lafayette Coney Island | Detroit
The battle of the neighboring Coney Island hot dog stands in Detroit is fierce. Lafayette and American both have plenty to offer, but our vote goes to Lafayette because its menu is a little more dedicated to the essentials: hot dogs, fries and chili. Plus they serve beer and American doesn't.
The Butcher and the Boar | Minneapolis
The foot-long hot dogs at this sausage-centric Minneapolis spot are best enjoyed in the beer garden.
Okay, this one's a bit different, but there's version of the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that's called the Mississippi Hot Dog. Listen and see if you can hear why.
Steve's Hot Dogs on the Hill | St. Louis
The Gorilla Mac n Cheese dog here is all kinds of awesome: a hot dog with bacon, fried onions and creamy mac and cheese.
The Burger Dive | Billings
This place gets props for its burgers, but the hot dogs are just as good. Try a classic Nathan's dog or a dressed up chili or Chicago dog.
Fairbury Hot Dogs | Lincoln
Catch a Fairbury dog from the Der Viener Schlinger at a Nebraska football game for a real Husker experience.
Buldogis | Las Vegas
These gourmet hot dogs with an Asian twist are cooked "Bulgogi-style" over an open flame,
Puppy Love Dogs | Concord
This small stand on Main Street wins lots of Best of New Hampshire praise and has been selling dogs for 35 years.
Rutt's Hut | Clifton
The famous "Rippers" at this restaurant are deep-fried hot dogs topped with Rutt's special mustard relish.
Dog House Drive-In | Albuquerque
A classic highway stop on Route 66, the chili sauce they put on the dogs is far spicier than normal chili dogs, adding a New Mexico kick to a classic dish. Bonus: Jesse Pinkman loved this spot in "Breaking Bad."
Crif Dog | New York City
This one's going to spark a lot of debate. The state is stuffed with competitors: Rochester vs. Buffalo vs. Coney Island ... Papaya Dog vs. Gray's Papaya ... MapQuest's Dave Ciaburro gives the "best" nod to NYC's Crif Dog, a small East Village shop that deep fries its wieners. It's on gritty St. Marks and is open late.
J.S. Pulliam BBQ | Winston-Salem
Operating since 1910, J.S. Pulliam serves BBQ but is really all about the hot dogs. Order one with mustard, cole slaw, chili and onions and sit on the tree stumps out back to eat (there are no tables here).
Wurst Bier Hall | Fargo
North Dakota doesn't have the hot dog culture that other states boats. Wieners here are more of the sausage type than hot dogs, but they're pretty darn good.
Hot Dog Shoppe | Warren
MapQuest's Andrew Biviano has been going to this northeast Ohio hot dog spot for over 30 years (His order? Two chili cheese dogs.). There's a line out the door every day, and the prices never change (you can still get dollar dogs).
Coney Island | Tulsa
Libby McIhany at MapQuest says this place is an institution. They serve amazing old-school hot dogs with great toppings, like chili, cheese and onions.
Otto's Sausage Kitchen | Portland
This German sausage shop has been in business for more than 80 years and has an outdoor grill that's open 24/7—even in the rain.
Hot Diggity! | Philadelphia
Mariel Rothman, MapQuest's social fellow, picks this Philly vendor because it partners with local artists and the hot dogs are inspired by regional dishes.
Olneyville New York System | Providence
Order your wiener "all the way" here—it'll come heaped with Olneyville's signature meat sauce, onions and celery salt. Not only is it the best of its kind in the state, it's one of the most popular overall restaurants in the state capital.
Perfectly Frank's | Summerville
Eclectic mixes of ingredients are combined to make great tasting dogs at this Summerville institution. It's a favorite of MapQuest's Darin Weakley.
Wall Drug | Wall
Wall Drug isn't just known for its aggressive advertising; the tourist stop also serves some fantastic buffalo meat hot dogs in its cafe.
Cori's DogHouse | Nashville
Not only are there 38 hot dog varieties and 35 different toppings on the menu, wieners are organized by region and state. In fact, even if you're not headed to Nashville, you should check out the list to see how everyone around the country does hot dogs.
ZOMG #NewYork & #Chicago #HotDogs in #Nashville (so many others too) at @CorisDogHouse. Half & Half Onion Rings &... pic.twitter.com/Lf3wOGrnvj
— Hot Dog (@TheHotDogStand) May 9, 2014
Frank | Austin
Self-proclaimed purveyors of artisan sausage, Frank has a range of different meat offerings for its wieners, plus the option to swap in a vegan dog for any menu item.
J Dawgs | Provo
A BYU classic, this place sells two types of hot dogs (100 percent beef and spicy polish) with a tangy "special sauce."
T.J.'s Dawg House | Williston
This small cart gets rave reviews for both its authentic Chicago-style hot dogs and the friendly personality of its owner, T.J.
Martinsville Speedway | Ridgeway
For over 60 years the chili dogs here have been a must-eat for race car fans and drivers. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a big fan—he's said that he eats three to four dogs a day.
Hot Dog Stop | Everett
The "Nimmerdogs" at this place are known far and wide. It's a hot dog covered in bacon, chocolate sauce, peanut butter and whipped cream.
Stewart's | Huntington
Huntington is awash in hot dog joints—it's been called the hot dog capital of the U.S. Stewart's sits at the top of the pack with its dogs, steamed buns and chili sauce.
The Dogg Haus | Milwaukee
There's a three-step "build your own hot dog" process at this local chain. And while there are about 15 specialty dogs to choose from, you can of course still get the Milwaukee classic: a bratwurst.
Four Seasons Jackson Hole | Jackson Hole
It's weather dependent, but the hot dog cart at the hotel's Handle Bar serves a regional elk bratwurst, which can be dressed up with a variety of toppings.
Jess Moss is senior editor at MapQuest. Her favorite place to eat a hot dog is at a major league baseball stadium. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram.

Gang members will use different types of hand signs to identify which gang he or she is
affiliated with. The hand signs will represent letters, numbers, rabbits, crowns, pitch
forks, etc... .
Gang members will also use hand signs to issue challenges to rival gang members. This can be done by representing their particular hand sign to the rival member, or by using the rival gang members hand sign, but flashing it upside down, which is a disrespectful gesture to the rival member.
Below are examples of some of the many types of hand signs different gangs use.
|Maniac Latin Disciples hand sign forming a heart with horns
|Ambrose hand sign forming the letter A
|Hand sign used by the Undertaker and Unknown Vice Lords
|2-6er's bent eared rabbit hand sign
|NATA hand sign forming an N
|Vice Lord hand sign forming a V L
Black Gangster Disciples hand sign representing the "triple L's" which stand for "love, life, loyalty"

Introduction to Health Services Research : A Self-Study Course
Between 1948 and 1951, national health insurance was officially part of the Truman platform. However, the national health insurance legislation was defeated as a result of the Congressional elections in 1950 and the Eisenhower landslide two years later.
At this point the leadership in health services research also began to change. Most of the research on health services in the 1950s was sponsored by health planning agencies, hospital associations, the pharmaceutical industry, large prepaid group practices, and city and state health departments.
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) established in 1953 by President Eisenhower. DHEW was later to become Department of Health and Human Services on May 4, 1980. DHEW's responsibilities as they do now, included the funding and oversight of research.
The NIH Nursing Research study section was established in 1955 within the Division of Research Grants to conduct scientific review of the growing volume of applications in this area.
Two years later, Jeremy Morris published an important epidemiology book titled, Uses of Epidemiology which was a cornerstone book that formed the basis of future work in chronic disease epidemiology (Morris, 1975). JS Mausner and S Kramer wrote Epidemiology, an introductory text in 1985 for those entering the field (Mausner, 1985).
Important for its publications in a variety of health services and policy research areas, the Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 to examine issues that affect the health of the public. Most of the work (and resulting publications) is done by committees made up of members nominated to the Institute. Resulting studies and other activities are requested and funded by the federal government. (More information on IOM in Module 3).
In the social arena, the civil rights and anti-poverty movements of the late 1950s and 1960s generated action and passion for quality and equality in all aspects of life, including health and economic security, among millions of people. This activism influenced the passage of several pieces of important social legislation, including the Medicare and Medicaid Acts in 1965 that extended health care coverage to people who were older, disabled, or poor.
The Comprehensive Health Planning and Services Act of 1966 subsidized training in public health and was intended to fund the establishment of public health services, and assist states in coordinating health programs to move toward comprehensive statewide coverage.
The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) supported neighborhood health centers beginning in 1966 under the direction of Julius B. Richmond, M.D. Neighborhood health centers were transferred to PHS jurisdiction in the early 1970s and were renamed community health centers.
Again, the government had the resources to accept responsibility for the health needs of vulnerable populations. Providers were reimbursed for services rendered in a fee for service arrangement.

Robie Farm
Robie Farm in Piermont, New Hampshire, is a multigenerational family farm supplying milk, cheese, and meats to more than 50 restaurants and markets in New England. The 150-acre farm is a community icon and a vital link in the local food economy.
We are working with the Robie family on a conservation easement that will allow the farm to expand its "agricultural tourism"-providing tours, riverside camping, and other ways for visitors to connect with the land. Conserving the farm would protect the pastoral character of the Route 10 Byway, one of New Hampshire's most scenic roads, and the proposed campsite would become part of the Connecticut River Paddler's Trail, a network of boat launches and campsites on New England's largest river.

Board repair
So I got a board but the lamination on the bottom is peeling off and the metal on the edge is peeling off (I forget what its called). Could I fix it or do I need to take it to a shop or is it useless?
Pics of damage
Also, is it new and still possibly under warranty? Or is it an old beater board from craigslist? Is it an expensive board, or a low-end POS?
"Hi, I have some stuff and it's not working. How do I fix it?"
Pics, or you're an ass.
I used to use 5 minute epoxy on boards and hold them together w/ C clamps from home depot while they were drying. I never had anyone come back complaining saying it came apart again.
Did you rip an edge out? I don't care how good the tech is that is doing the job, if you ripped the edge out the board will never ride on that edge the same again.. So at that point you have to decide if your going to spend money for a new board, or a not so cheap fix. It's just flat out almost impossible to get a new edge into a board and make it ride the way it did before. You'll feel it, especially if your board has a lot of tunes on it and any part of the new edge is higher than the old edge.
Also if you do edge replacement, don't act shocked when it ripps out of the board the next time you have it stone ground. I've seen that happen quite a few times.

Guest Post by Sheryl Warwick
Here is a short video showing how you can take a simple image and add some zing with liquify and skin smoothing. The whole process doesn't take long and once you start editing with a tablet you can whip out edits in no time at all. Boudoir clients run the gambit from a lot to a little on how much post processing they want in their pictures. This video shows a good starting point for addressing clients who have areas or bulges that might warrant some digital plastic surgery.
This video tutorial shows the first part of my editing process that I often cover in my boudoir workshops. I hope the tutorial is helpful and that these techniques can be applied on any photography not just boudoir or glamour imagery.

The Silent Film Era: Silent Films, NAD Films, and the Deaf Community's Response
Schuchman, John S., Sign Language Studies
OLDER CITIZENS who are deaf or hard of hearing recall the years of silent films (1893-1929) as a "golden era" in the cultural history of the American Deaf community. It was golden for several reasons.
First, this period represents the one brief time that deaf and hard of hearing citizens had comparatively equal access to motion pictures-a cultural and popular medium that the United States and Hollywood have exported to the rest of the world. It was the only time that deaf and hard of hearing citizens could sit with a hearing audience in a darkened movie theater and enjoy the drama or comedy without the need for third-party interpreters, special captions, elaborate sound systems, or any other assistive devices. Throughout these years Deaf community publications routinely discussed the movies. When Hollywood abandoned silent films in 1929 and 1930 in favor of the new sound technology popularly known as the "talkies," the movie industry also severely limited the ability of deaf and hard of hearing consumers to participate in the movie theater audience with persons who could hear.
The second reason this period was golden was that motion picture technology demonstrated a new tool for those deaf people who used sign language. Sign language depends on movement and facial and bodily expression. Before the development of motion pictures, deaf people could depict sign language only in static forms of communication: text, drawings, and photographs. As a result, it was very difficult for hearing people unfamiliar with sign language to grasp the power and beauty of what is today called American Sign Language (ASL). This was crucial because the era of silent films (1893-1929) happened at the same time as an intense campaign against sign language in America. The Deaf community perceived this attack as an assault on their right to exist as a linguistic minority. So-called oralists demeaned the use of sign language and in some instances supported legislation that banned its use in schools for deaf students. By the onset of the Great Depression in late 1929, those who opposed the use of sign language had significantly reduced the number of signing deaf people who were employed as teachers and administrators in deaf education in the United States. One of the ways that the Deaf community challenged this assault on its language was through the use of motion picture technology.
Created in 1880, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was the major U.S. consumer organization for the Deaf community that advocated the use of sign language. Armed with a tool that would allow it to demonstrate the beauty and complexity of sign language and to preserve it for future generations of deaf people, the NAD collected funds to produce a series of films. Utilizing the services of both Deaf and hearing masters of sign language, the association produced several films from 1913 to 1920 that featured poetry, lectures, memories, and stories told in ASL. Shot with 35 mm film and a stationary camera, the NAD rented these films throughout the United States, primarily to local Deaf community organizations and clubs. Subsequently, the films were converted to 16 mm safety film and deposited with the Library of Congress and Gallaudet University, where they may be seen today.
Although the NAD films represented the most widely used and recognized movies, members of the Deaf community produced other films as well. The invention of safety film and cameras designed for the amateur home film market enabled numerous Deaf persons to film important events in the Deaf community. The Eastman-Kodak company designed the Cine-Kodak 16 mm system in 1923, the Standard-8 system in 1932, and Kodachrome in 1935. Newspapers in the Deaf community regularly reported on and sometimes advertised these films. Football games between rival schools for deaf pupils were a popular movie event shown at clubs for Deaf adults as well as other Deaf organizations. In addition to sports activities, some films featured events in the life of the Deaf community-local picnics, state or sometimes national meetings of Deaf organizations, as well as masquerade nights or plays at the local Deaf club. …

Ray's Final Challenge
"Okay Sam," I said as we hiked across the island to Guin's house, "how can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you without bouncing off anything, attaching anything to it, or having someone catch it and throw it back?"
Sam pondered that for a while as we walked in the sun. We had just caught sight of Guin's house when he said, "Ah! Got it!"
Throw the ball straight up in the air, letting gravity return the ball.

Comments about Sibelius 7 Upgrade and AudioScore Bundle:
I say save your money with Aduio score. I think Sibelius is made in Englad and Finale is from Minnesota so this will be my last Sibelius upgrade unless something tremendous happens.
I am a longtime Finale user. I really like the ease of Finale 2012 and the idea that, as a teacher I can make Smart Music tests and accompaniments for my students. As I near retirement I wanted to upgrade my Sibelius 6. It looks like it will be fun and is a powerful. For years I have been excited about Photoscore and Audio Score. I tried Photoscore lite and I am not impressed at all. Maybe it is that I am too much of a Finale User witht their product? I treid the full product audioscore and I think I should have stayed with just the upgrade. I tried the song Borderline by Madonna as a test and it was a train wreck to look at and impossible and way too time consuming to work with. (Maybe I am not enough of a techie too). I think the advertising hype is something you need to be careful of. Subelius is cool in that it can make scorch files to upload that really do work and are cool, though. I got a competitive crossgrade for Sibelius the first time. How else could a teacher afford the high price tag? Great possibilities with Sibleius and I look forward to when I have a lot more time to play with it.
It takes forever to install the extra sounds and huge hard drive. Only a person with a lot of money or larger credit card limit could afford the after market sounds but what comes with it is great.
The Audio score took so little time to install, I wondered what was the reason for the hig price tage stand alone version. It doesn;t work all that well anyway.
Way too expensive but what is reasonable these days.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

It's About Resilience, Not Growth. A power point presentation for the Small Town Forums, 2015, by Gary Becker.Read More
Various words are commonly used to describe successful downtown revitalization efforts. Three words that are often used, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, are:
• Vitality – the capacity to live and develop
• Vibrancy – having or showing great life, activity, and energy
• Resiliency – the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens
All three describe positive change.Read More
REGISTER TODAY! Mark your calendars for the Wisconsin Downtown Action Council's Annual Fall Summit. This one-day session will be hosted in Wisconsin Rapids on October 22,2015.Read More
Talk to anyone of a certain age — say 50 and older — about the downtowns in Wisconsin's villages and small cities and the conversation is liable to turn nostalgic.
Whatever happened to the world of communities of 5,000 with three or four hardware and shoe stores, a couple of jewelry stores, drug stores with soda fountains, multiple grocery stores and even a few national or home-grown department stores?
In case you missed it, tune in to the podcast of last week's Wisconsin Public Radio program "Central Time" to hear Andy Lewis talk about what it takes to build a unique community identity, revitalize a downtown and keep younger residents from moving away. #BecauseofUWEX

Here's Part 2 of Robert Upe's article about his experiences on Peregrine's Best of East Africa trip. Read Part 1 here
Along the way, throughout the 15 days, children run beside the truck shouting "mzungu, mzungu" in amazement. Used throughout east Africa, the word means someone of "foreign descent" and the greetings come with waves and smiles - and perhaps the hope of a handout. One local in Uganda says the sighting of mzungu will result in excited chatter in households for days.
Along the way there are many oddities. An overloaded truck speeds by with the prophetic words painted across its side: "It's better to die standing than live kneeling." We see goatherds, women with heavy loads balanced on their heads, open-air butcheries, beauty shops in tin sheds with dirt floors, coffin makers displaying their best boxes and business names that could come straight from an Alexander McCall Smith novel: Equator Motors, Mama Boy Shop, Seven Happy Widows Enterprises, Uncle Sam Investments, Jerusalem Body Works and the Peace Gospel Church.
On Sundays in the townships throughout Uganda, well-dressed people walk to church in the roadside dust or mud; there are rarely footpaths. Children look uncomfortable in three-piece suits instead of their usual tattered shorts and T-shirts, women wear high heels and Sunday-best frocks, and the men are in their finest pinstripes, Florsheims and trilbies.
Despite the strong showing of Christianity, Mr Charles remarks that witchcraft is still practised in some areas, particularly among Kenya's Luo communities. The Luo are cousins of the Masai and it's at the Masai Mara - Kenya's most famous game reserve - where we tick off the "Big Five": the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant.
The "Big Five" is not a reference to the size of the animals but to the fact that they were the most difficult to hunt on foot. Mr Charles says hunting has been stopped in the 1500-square-kilometre Masai Mara National Reserve, which borders Tanzania. The penalties are severe. "Poachers will be shot," he says.
In the rolling grassland we see vultures silhouetted in iconic acacia trees at sunset and zebras, gazelles and cheetahs stalking along the Mara River. The river provides a spectacular setting for the great annual migration of more than a million wildebeest between July and September. As the animals cross the water on their annual pilgrimage for greener pastures, crocodiles attack en masse.
Engrossing animal encounters are not limited to the Masai Mara. At Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda we cruise the shore line of the Kazinga Channel - with soft drinks and Tusker beers in hand - for close encounters with water buffaloes and hippos that look a bit silly when they yawn. Elephants come down to the water to drink and crocodiles lie still in the shallows.
At Uganda's Kibale Forest National Park, where there is a long-term chimpanzee research project, we follow a ranger along narrow tracks into thick vegetation where we would surely become lost without him. These chimp visits are regulated, with no more than six people permitted at a time and a limit of one hour with the primates once they are found.
It's not long before we're with them. At first there are a few distant glimpses through the trees but soon the forest explodes into noise. In his book The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary, Andrew Westoll describes the noise of chimpanzees as a "pant-hoot". It starts quietly with hooting sounds and builds to an almost frenzied crescendo. As we follow them, some chimps come almost within reach when they descend from the trees, but mostly they stay in the canopy.
The mountain gorillas of Rwanda's Parc National des Volcans are tougher to reach. The gorillas, made famous by zoologist Dian Fossey, are in steep jungle where the ground is a quagmire, stinging nettles are everywhere and a machete is needed to negotiate the tangle of vines.
The gorilla family we find is constantly moving and there's no rest as we sweat, fall in the mud and scramble to keep up. There is some eye contact but after they are assured by our presence they continue on their daily routine of searching for food and grooming each other. The young stay in the clutches of the mothers and the big silverback that leads the pack eyes us every now again to make sure we keep a respectable distance.
Like the chimpanzees, the time with the gorillas is limited to one hour and soon our gorilla guide is leading us out of the jungle and down the terraced mountainside fields. Farmers live in simple mudbrick huts and till the land for potatoes and other crops.
Back at the truck, and sucking on a filter-tipped Sportsman cigarette, Mr Anthony reveals the secret to a long life. "Eat local food, live simply," he says. His grandmother ate only maize, bananas and sweet potato and she lived to 120.
We get word from another safari group that the baby buffalo we watched at Lake Nakuru did not live a long life. The three lions killed it before it returned to the safety of its herd.

Applications and advantages of investment casting
By megan2008 on Nov 01, 2013 12:46 AM
So-called investment casting process, is a simple fusible materials can melt in the sexual model, some special coating layer of refractory coating, after drying and forming an integrated shell, reoccupy steam or hot melt away from the shell, then the model of sand box shell in filling in the round, modelling, finally will dry sand casting has been put in high-temperature roasting, casting or shell after roasting, in which the pouring molten metal and casting.
Investment casting dimension precision, generally can reach CT4-6, of course, due to the investment casting process complex, the influence factors of the dimension precision casting mould material, such as shrinkage, the deformation and introduced.technology shell in heating and cooling process line changes, the shrinkage and alloy casting during solidification process of deformation etc., so ordinary revestment precision castings, but its consistency, although still need to improve.
When pressing revestment by cavity surface finish high pressure, therefore, is introduced.technology of surface finish is high. In addition, the shell by high temperature resistant special binder and refractory materials preparation of refractory coatings introduced.technology hanging in the molten metal, and made the cavity in direct contact with high surface finish. Therefore, the investment casting surface finish than general casting high, can reach Ra. 1.6 ~ 3.2 muon m.
Casting the biggest advantage is due to the investment casting with high precision and surface finish, so can reduce machining parts in the work, but a higher requirement of the position, and even some limits.but can only leave buffing and casting, machining allowance can be used. Thus, the welding casting method can save machine equipment and processing of metal materials, greatly saves.
Investment casting method of another advantage is that it can be cast all kinds of alloy castings, especially the complex of high temperature alloy castings can cast. As the jet engine blades, the streamline the contour and cooling with inner cavity machining process, with almost cant form. In investment casting process not only can batch production, to ensure the consistency of casting, machining and avoid the grain after the residual stress concentration.

OC3D Best Of 2011 Awards
Published: 30th December 2011 | Source: OC3D | Price: |
Corsair Vengeance LP
Such is the quality of the RAM chips used that a lot of Memory kits are inseparable. So when we first saw the Corsair Vengeance with its white heat-sink and extremely low voltage we sat up and took notice. Not only did it have great performance at stock settings but with some extra volts pumped through you could get the kit down to a low CAS7. More importantly its the first ram from Corsair to work with large CPU coolers. Read our review here.
G.Skill RipjawsX
At the other end of the scale was the 2133MHz version of the G.Skill RipjawsX. A big 8GB kit running at CAS9 2133MHz provided great lumps of memory bandwidth and performance to match, all wrapped up in the gorgeous RipjawsX heatsink. Read our review here.

Colonnade Theatre
Center Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 5 comments
Work will soon begin on renovations as two grants have been awarded to the theater group which owns the theater. However, the renovations will not be a true restoration, though the theaters cinematic history will be respected to some degree. Here is an article about the grants and the theater group's plans with some additional history about the Colonnade: View link
Here is some additional information:
Here is some information about the feasibility study:
The Colonnade is a reverse auditorium theatre. You enter on either side of the screen and are looking at the seats facing you. It's one of several such theatres still in Pennsylvania. Others still existing are the Majestic in Pottsville, and the Columbia in Brookville. None of them are currently showing commercial movies. The Majestic does run very late run childrens films for free, but not as a commercial film venue.

At this year's upcoming HEROES CONVENTION 30th ANNIVERSARY (Woot!) in Charlotte, NC, there will be a 5K (3.1 miles) Fun Run which RICO RENZI (who lent his substantial coloring skills tot he promotional image above) is helping to organize. I think it's a brilliant idea which I am looking forward to participating in. On top of that, there will be a small modest monetary collection taken from the participants - the total sum of which will be generously given to a local charity. It's gonna be a hoot.
Onto the 'Portfolio Review' part.
For me, Heroes Con is a great convention to meet young, up-and-coming artists coming out of school looking for critiques about their work from the professionals attending the show. I'm excited to help as much as I can with whatever insight and advice I can give. But I've always believed that (just based on my experience with drawing actual comic books) there are other artists and illustrators who could offer up better, more applicable advice than I ever could. So I wanted to try something new. It's something like this:
New Artists, I would love to review your portfolio; 30 minutes at a time, all day Sunday, the day after the Fun Run. But here's the only caveat: YOU HAVE TO RUN ON SATURDAY.
In my effort to help any future illustrator who's chosen to have a semi/fully-sedentary lifestyle, whose chosen profession may lead to future health issues, I would like to help in changing their attitude and their culture towards health. I'm speaking from personal experience, folks. I was 5'5" and nearing 200lbs at one point in my life - all because I made poor choices regarding my health as it pertains to and contradicts with my art and my deadlines. It was/is a horrible reality everyone has to deal with in our industry: You're out of shape because you love drawing. If you believe as I do that the long term value of becoming a relevant artist in your craft is exclusively about only drawing, then you're not seeing the bigger picture, and you've already started down the path of the riskiest of futures. The word you need to pay attention to now is 'longevity'. While your 'art' will get you recognized, appropriated with accolades, and celebrated among your peers - your 'life' and the fashion in which you are living it as you are exploring that 'art' has a lot to do with proper diet and exercise, your attitude towards balance and outlook, and the ability to visualize what/where you want to be 5-10-15 years from now.
But that's a lot to take in and put into practice all at one time. So for now, let's focus on health, yes?
That said, if you'd like to have 30mins of my time where I carefully go over your pages/samples - panel by panel, if need be, then that's the standing, non-negotiable offer: 3.1 MILES GETS YOU A 30 MINUTE PORTFOLIO REVIEW. Jog, run or sprint- its all the same to me. But on SATURDAY, JUNE 23rd, you're on the starting line with me at 6:30 AM. There's plenty of time to prepare between now & then, and there's a plethora of ARTICLES online that will help you train for the event. Now it just comes down to your determination.
On a personal note: There are many things that we may not be able to control nor agree upon within the business of this industry. I'm being candid with you when I say that more than half of the things I read about what's happening with mainstream comic books leave me saddened and shaking my head because things have gotten this way. But I understand that's not really in my control and accept that I can't change those things. What I can do is try to live up to the MOEBIUS quote that's in the header of this blog. That I can try for.
I hope you will help me.

NRA Study Suggests Trained, Armed School Staffers
WASHINGTON - Schools across the nation should train selected staff members to carry weapons and should each have at least one armed security officer to make students safer and allow a quicker response to an attack, the director of a National Rifle Association-sponsored study said Tuesday.

Value of a beach?
January 02 2009 | Jim's Blog,
by Jim
Just a few years ago a dollar (or your local currency) didn't carry the weight it does now. For example you were probably more willing to buy a car or a $4 cup of coffee than you might be today. Consumer spending seemed to be on an endless upward trajectory. Spending seemed live outside the laws of gravity and (looking back with 20/20 hindsight) common sense. Over the last six months, the prices of housing, gas and other goods have fluctuated to the point of confusing us. This brings me to the subject of value.
Value [val-yoo] –noun
1. Relative worth, merit, or importance: the value of a college education; the value of a queen in chess.
2. Monetary or material worth, as in commerce or trade: This piece of land has greatly increased in value.
3. The worth of something in terms of the amount of other things for which it can be exchanged or in terms of some medium of exchange.
Source: Dictionary.com
In simpler terms value is simply how we measure an object's relative worth.
Time is the most valuable thing in my opinion. It outweighs money, status, worth and everything else. Nothing is a scarce as a minute of our lives.
An extension of this idea is what we do with our time and the value we gain from doing it. Here is where Surfrider Foundation comes in.
What is the value of going skiing or going to the movies? How do those values compare with the value of walking along your favorite beach or surfing your home break? The challenge to these questions is that the latter examples, many times, are assigned a value of zero since they are offered for "free."
I was reminded of this comparison the other day when I was helping some out-of-town friends with options for their family in Southern California. The family of four could buy a 3-Day Disneyland pass for for $640 or they could spend a day at the beach "for free." I spent a few hours with them doing the latter, and watched the entire family come together, have an absolute ball in the water, and leave with sand in their toes and smiles across their faces.
The truth is that nothing is free. Everything has a cost. Sometimes that cost equates to currency, sometimes it equates to our time or resources.
All of us, including you, that support Surfrider Foundation believe that our oceans, waves and beaches should be able to be accessible for all people to enjoy, and should be protected. All of us invest some part of ourselves in that idea. You may be a member and invest your money in this idea. You may also invest your time, energy and expertise in your local chapter. Whatever your investment, yo make it because in your mind, our coasts hold value.
We all appreciate those contributions as it enables us to keep the lights on and make a difference all over the world. More than that, we appreciate the fact that you have associated real value in this idea, in our mission. One of the crispest examples of the value we offer can be found in the more than 100 victories we've won over the last three years (list available on homepage at Surfrider.org). The collective value we associate with Surfrider is literally the power of this entire effort.
So as we continue to weave our way through these murky and squishy economic times, let's keep it in the front of our minds that our coasts have a value that is very near priceless. That is, they don't have a "price tag." They should not be marginalized or purchased. Instead they should be appreciated for their pure, natural beauty.
Let's also remember that the return (enjoyment) on investment (protection) equation is among the strongest in our lives. Now stop reading this blog and get some sand in your toes. Go experience "free" in more ways than one.

Derby County Away FA Cup Third Round Sunday 5 January 2013
Derby is a curious place of many contradictions.
A suburb of Nottingham separated from the city centre only by the thin sliver of the M1, it seeks, against the odds, to retain its own identity. A decidedly northern town, yet its inhabitants, who speak with those amusing comedy club accents that we came to love from appalling sexist and racist television in the 1970s, cling on to a claim of being Midlanders.
Clearly they are not. They are a long way from Birmingham and Birmingham is, in any event, northern itself.
As a northern town, however, Derby is an anomaly. Instead of post-industrial decay, the 250,000 people who live there still have industry.
Rolls Royce are based there and Toyota have a large plant in the town. They also make railway trains in Derby although perhaps not as many as they once did. Those no longer involved in making things, work at Sky television's call centre.
If you have ever had a problem with Sky (and I cannot imagine anyone who has Sky has not had a problem) you will have spent a few evenings on the phone to Derby supporters being shunted from operative to supervisor, from supervisor to dropped call and starting the process all over again.
If you have enjoyed the experience, you will have realised one of two truths about Derby supporters: despite all their industry, they are either not very bright or are very mean spirited.
The other truth is based upon empirical evidence that I have gathered over the years. Derby supporters don't grow beyond 5'6".
Derby supporters are the shortest football supporters in the league.
Quite why this is the case, I cannot be sure. It could be the reason why industry still exists in Derby. The locals are small enough to crawl into the machinery and do things that others would be unwilling or unable to do.
As I have said, this observation is based on empirical evidence. I have sized up every Derby supporter I know and all three of them are noticeably shorter than my daughters.
Pride Park is a plastic stadium built to replace the atmospheric Baseball Ground. Atmospheric, because it was a toxic dump of a football ground. The abiding memory I have of it is the green slime growing on the wall that passed for a urinal and the stench that emanated from it. Pity the tiny Derby supporters whose noses were closer to the trough.
Derby has, however, given greatly to the culture of our nation. The inimitable Kevin Coyne was born and raised there and although he left and went to live in Germany for many years before his untimely death, one imagines that Marjorie Razorblade may still live there, perhaps working for Sky.
Wikipedia tells us "One of Derby's most successful bands is Anti-Pasti, whose debut 1981 album The Last Call reached the top 40 in the UK album charts." With success like that to compete against, it is little wonder that Kevin Coyne emigrated.
Derby's achievements in football are not all in the past. This season they were runners up in the Brian Clough Trophy.
A ghastly journey to the grim north awaits those travelling on Sunday. The current cycle of storms will once again bring Bexleyheath weather to the nation on Sunday. "Bexleyheath" because, like the Man United supporting trolls of the internet who sit in their bedrooms in their mum's semi detached homes in Bexleyheath in soiled underwear spewing out their bile against civilised humanity, it will be mild, wet and full of wind.
Highs of 8 degrees, lows around the same. Winds gusting up to 40 mph and rain. Lots of rain. Watch out for spray on the motorway particularly when driving home. There will be fairly heavy lorry traffic and also a danger of aquaplaning. Allow a little extra time and take it easy.
Good waterproof clothing and footwear. Minute Derby supporters could consider snorkels.
Remember, you are Chelsea and Chelsea is style.

S.C. shoppers take advantage of tax holiday
Buyers have until midnight Sunday to take advantage of South Carolina's sales-tax holiday aimed at back-to-school shoppers.
The list of tax-exempt goods this weekend is a long one including paper, pencils, backpacks, binders and many clothing items.
The South Carolina Department of Revenue said the 6 percent tax break is expected to save the state's shoppers $3 million.
A complete listing of what is tax exempt and what isn't can be found at www.sctax.org.
The tax-free weekend kicked off Friday with Anderson's retailers at the ready.
Even at Walgreens pharmacy on North Main Street, clerks set up cardboard displays in the shape of school buses to display various supplies that will not be taxed.
At Kmart on Clemson Boulevard, a large display identified each school in Anderson County. Beneath each school name was a list of supplies that students there will need.
The National Retail Federation estimates that the average person with children in kindergarten through 12th grade will spend $688.62 on their children for back-to-school supplies this year. That's up almost $85 from last year.
Makayla Cheek and her mom, Maggie, were among the shoppers hunting for deals Saturday. Makayla is a rising fifth-grader at Concord Elementary School in Anderson.
"We came out here specifically because of the tax-free weekend," Maggie Cheek said. "We all need to save money wherever we can."
Makayla found all sorts of tax-free goodies, including a fuchsia pencil case that, at first glance, looked like a sequined shoe.
"It's my favorite thing I have found so far," she said.
But she also really liked a notebook with a peace symbol on the front.
Upstate shoppers who miss the tax breaks this weekend will have another shot next weekend if they cross the state line.
Georgia's tax-free weekend is set for Aug. 10-11.

A Simple Kind of Fan. Lauding Lucroy– 5.31.11
The catching position for the Milwaukee Brewers has been a wasteland for the past decade. The last decent catcher Milwaukee has had was Dave Nilsson back in 1999. In that season the Aussie managed a .309/.400/.554 slash line and racked up a 3.1 WAR. Of course, Nilsson will never be thought of as a good defensive catcher, but at least he brought a potent stick every night to the ballpark. Offensive punch is something that has been sorely lacking from every catcher since Nilsson for the Brewers.
The post- Nilsson catching landscape has been littered with underwhelming names such as Blanco, Bako, Osik, Miller, Moeller and the gritty one himself, Jason Kendall. At the start of business on Monday, Jonathan Lucroy had already managed to accumulate a 1.2 WAR. To put that in some perspective, Brewers catchers combined to accumulate higher than a 1.2 WAR only five times in the last ten seasons.
What this obviously means is that Lucroy is having a banner year thus far. He certainly seems more comfortable at the plate this season. This past winter I had a chance to hear Doug Melvin speak , and he said that perhaps the adjustment to the big leagues was a bit overwhelming for Lucroy. Melvin further speculated that Lucroy may have been a bit 'fried mentally' trying to learn on the job in the manner in which he did. Melvin did add that he expected Lucroy to bounce back, and he has certainly done so in spectacular fashion.
Accordingly, Lucroy is moving up the offensive ranks among NL catchers. Despite only ranking 10 th in plate appearances among NL catchers, Lucroy has done enough to stand out among his peers offensively. As of Monday, his ranks among NL catchers are as follows: AVG(1 st ), OBP(3 rd ), SLG(2 nd ), OPS(3 rd ), RBIs (2 nd ), ISO (3 rd ), hits(5 th ), and runs(5 th ). Clearly, he making an impact for the Brewers and is exceeding almost all expectations he had coming into the season.
Unfortunately, it is not all roses and harp music for the young Louisiana backstop. I believe Jonathan is in for a regression offensively for two reasons. First, he currently has an unsustainable BABIP of .386. Eventually some of those line drive and bloopers are going to be caught and things will even out. Secondly, I believe as Lucroy moves up to sixth in the order, his high leverage RBI opportunities will increase dramatically. Braun and Prince are going to be on base frequently with two outs and Lucroy at the plate. His ability to perform in the highest of leverage situations will determine much of the offensive fate of the Brewers moving forward. Keep in mind, I am not saying that Lucroy will struggle in these situations, but I believe it takes time to adjust to his new role in the offense. This example was evident on Sunday as Lucroy took the rare Golden Sombrero (h/t Kyle at BrewCrewBall) at the dish. Make no mistake, there is much more pressure to produce in the sixth spot in the lineup, rather than hitting in front of the pitcher.
I have heard speculation about Lucroy as a potential All Star. That is simply not likely. James from The Brewers Bar details exactly why it will probably not happen. Molina from St Louis is a lock as a starter, and of course Brian McCann is always an all star, so that leaves about five talented NL catchers on the outside looking in. The odds are certainly going to be stacked against Jonathan, in terms of name recognition and experience.
Despite Randy Wolf redass-ing it all over the mound when Lucroy is catching, I think he has done a decent job defensively behind the plate. Handling a veteran laden pitching staff can be difficult for even veteran catchers, yet he has managed to not have any other pitcher mutinies other than aforementioned Wolf . Obviously he must get better at throwing out runners with only 3 caught stealing in 27 attempts, but he has managed to push through the mental barrier that limited him much of last season. If healthy, I believe Lucroy can have the best season for a Milwaukee catcher since Ted Simmons in the heyday of the franchise in the early 1980s. Regardless of whether he achieves that lefty status, everyone can at least agree that the catcher position for the Milwaukee Brewers looks to have more promise and potential than at any point in the last decade.
Yuni Watch
Yuni continues to leverage some sort of incriminating evidence against Ron Roenicke into starts everyday at SS. That must be the case, because Yuni is continuing to perform awful at the plate. This week he was 3x 18 with 1 run, 1 RBI, 1 walk, and 1 strikeout. Each week it seems to get worse. His slash line is just terrible at .225/.255/.331/.586.
Unfortunately for all, Craig Counsell is scuffling as well and appears to be just about out of gas. Let me be clear in stating that I feel that there is a place for Craig Counsell on this team. WHEN the Brewers make the postseason, Counsell is exactly the type of veteran player that should be getting starts, because he has been kept fresh throughout the season. You don't sign a guy like Counsell to win games in May, you sign him to win games in October. Sure the Brewers did pick up Josh Wilson recently, but he isn't anything to write home about either. With that being said, what is available and what teams could we make a deal with?
For starters, the Astros have too many middle infielders with Angel Sanchez, Clint Barmes, and Bill Hall. Clearly, they are building for the future. While they are a division opponent, they could possibly look to dump one of these fringe players for the right price or low level prospect.
The Red Sox also have too many middle infielders. I have already speculated previously about Marco Scutaro. He isn't anything to get excited about, but he will give you a good at bat with purpose and will be able to move a runner over in Running Ron's small ball offense.
Finally, an option I find intriguing is the rumor of the Blue Jays being interested in Jose Reyes. I find that interesting because in this scenario Reyes would replace Yunel Escobar, who in my opinion is certainly an upgrade over anything the Brewers have. This is a long shot, but I would keep a close eye on this rumor for a couple of reasons. First, there is favorable trade history between the Blue Jays and the Brewers. Both teams have made out well when they have made trades in the past, such as the Overbay trade and the Marcum trade. Second, we all know Melvin and Co. love all things Canadian. The relationship is seemingly a good one and perhaps the team could upgrade the only spot in the lineup that concerns me currently.
Throwback Jersey of the Week
With only a few weeks left until Father's Day, I thought I would put together a small three part series on 9 player jerseys you should own that aren't Milwaukee related. Today we will start out with 9-7 and continue forward over the next couple of weeks with the sweetest jerseys around. One point I should make is that I will try to mix up the price, but there are replicas of everything I link, so prices are should be considered flexible.
9. Rod Carew . Growing up, I was a sucker for unique batting stances. Players such as Cecil Cooper, Rickie Henderson, and Rod Carew cost me hours and hours of productivity as a kid. You can find a light blue Twins jersey anywhere for under $75 . However, the jersey I am highlighting today is the home whites of the Twins from the 1969 season. This is a favorite jersey of mine and would make a great addition to your collection.
8. Dave Winfield . Winfield was an imposing figure in the batter's box. His 6'6" stature seemed to intimidate just about any pitcher on the mound he was facing. Before his turn to the dark side with the Yankees, he started out with the Padres. As a regular reader will know, I love the old school San Diego uniforms from the '70s. I suppose some people like the home whites , but I am a road brown lover and here is a sweet high quality version. If you are still in school, or pinching a few pennies, here is the bottom of the barrel version that will only cost you $18.
7. Johnny Bench . The Little General was a stud with both the glove and the bat. He was always fundamentally sound and was the heart and soul of the Big Red Machine in the 70s. Despite playing for the now hated Reds, I consider Johnny Bench to be much like Barry Sanders, in the sense that it is essentially acceptable to own a particular division rival player's jersey because of the class and dignity in which the Bench carried himself. The road grey is probably the most common , but here are the home whites as well. While sensibly priced, they come nowhere near close to this replica throwback for under $30.
A Season You Have Probably Forgotten About By Now
Ironically, The Cy Young Award race in 1968 was really not much of a race at all. That's because Bob Gibson and Denny McLain won the award in each league unanimously. In the case of Bob Gibson, the award was justified and culminated what was an incredible season. However, in the case of Denny McLain, I am not so sure he should have won the award.
The World Champion Detroit Tigers were an offensive powerhouse . The Tigers led the American League in team WAR, homeruns, runs, ISO, SLG, and OPS. Denny McLain took full advantage of this potent offense and cruised to a 31-6 record on the season. 30 wins was good enough for each sportswriter that voted to cast his ballot for McClain. Don't get me wrong, McLain had a great season. However, it is my opinion that he didn't have the best season by an American League pitcher that year.
Sudden Sam McDowell had a sensational season in 1968. The lefthanded power pitcher joined with Luis Tiant to form an imposing duo at the top of the Cleveland rotation. Unlike the Tigers, the Indians had an unspectacular offense and it cost McDowell many wins that season. Accordingly, he was on the hard side of many tough losses, as evidenced by his 15-14 record. But if you peer into the numbers a little more closely, a different tale begins to emerge.
When comparing some of the other statistics from McDowell's season against those of McLain, the results are very surprising. McDowell had a better ERA (1.81 vs. 1.96), FIP (2.25 vs. 2.53), homeruns (13 vs. 31), hits per 9 innings (6.1 vs. 6.5), and more strikeouts in 67 less innings pitched. Factually speaking, McDowell had a better season by allowing less hits and homers while striking out more hitters. It is my conclusion the only reason Sam McDowell did not win the Cy Young Award in 1968 is because he failed to play for the pennant winning Detroit Tigers. Thus, the next time you read some writer waxing poetically about the 30 win season Denny McLain had in '68, hopefully you will remember that he did have a pretty good season, just not as good as the season Sam McDowell had that year.
Dates Appearing Closer on the Horizon
June 13 . Starting with a 4 game set in Wrigley, the schedule get ridiculously difficult until the All- Star break. I have already detailed my prediction that the team will be in big hole after this crucial stretch. Staying healthy will determine how big that hole is.

I have a TV which has its own weird "method" of sorting media files. The manual specification doesn't talk anything about it. I always wanted to find this method.
I turned to my Windows7 computer to figure what this "method" could be. Whatever file properties windows explorer displays (Size, Date modified, Date created, Date last saved, Content created, Date, Bit rate, etc.), I tried sorting by them. Still it wouldn't match that that my TV uses.
Then yesterday I happened to find this program called "File Attributes Editor" (link). I was surprised to see that the default file sorting order of this program is the same as used my TV. I couldn't find any contact of the author to ask him what this "method" is. So I am posting it here, if anyone can figure this out.

Weird file sort order

Posted 06 September 2013 - 01:19 AM
Sorry got it after some fiddling.
There was some strange problem in the flash drive that contained the files. I cut & copied all the files to my computer and then copied all of them back to the flash drive. Now the sorting is having some sense.
It sorts by name, but not like what windows does. In Windows if there are numbers in filename then it would sort as
File 1
File 2
File 4
File 11
File 33
In my TV the above files sort as below (and it makes sense now, but prior to all the cut paste, it was sort of like random).
File 1
File 11
File 2
File 33
File 4

You might want to check this out as further explanation. I believe that what it describes is true for all versions of Windows, XP and later.
I guess you could say that apparently your TV uses the classic Win2K sort method.
Cheers and Regards

And the "solution" (if needed) is to "pad" numbers on the left with 0's to the max number.
should give you same order from 01 to 99 on both devices.

Thanks bphlpt & jaclaz.
There is still something strange with the flash drive (HP v220w). In my flash drive, if I add media files to a folder containing exisiting files, even though the new filenames begin with the letter A, they appear at the end in my TV (and in that File Attributes Editor program too). Windows sorts them correctly though.
I have do that cut paste operation for all the files between the flash drive & my computer to get them sorted correctly.
I think the flash drive is the culprit. Don't know what is it thats changing between the file moves.
Posted 06 September 2013 - 07:38 AM
So that explains what I see on my file server and I always wonder why the folders are "out of order" because I'm still thinking in Windows 2000 terms! This is what I am seeing:
Its not a natural way of viewing files with numbers if you ask me.
Posted 06 September 2013 - 07:59 AM
Posted 06 September 2013 - 09:23 AM
Well, in the case of Tripredacus, the numbers are hex numbers with a given (four characters format), and thus even in a number of apps/tools (as an example a spreadsheet) may be interpreted alternatively as "text" or as numbers, in his example "considering them as text" is actually "good" and corresponds to "proper" hex number ordering.
1111 <- this is both a valid decimal number AND a valid "fixed format" hex number AND text
111A <- this is NOT a valid decimal number BUT a valid "fixed format" hex number AND text
AAAA <- this is NOT a valid decimal number BUT a valid "fixed format" hex number AND text
So, the way of sorting them as in the screenshot posted is actually not only "natural", but the only "logical" one.

DUBAI - Dubai is launching a project to build an entertainment and hotel district that will include what its ruler says is the world's largest shopping mall.
Plans for the "Mall of the World" were first revealed 18 months ago, helping to trigger a strong rally in Dubai's real estate and stock markets.
Saturday's formal announcement by the emirate's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, appeared to indicate that substantial work on the project would now begin.
The statement did not say when construction would be completed, how much it would cost or how it would be financed.
"The project will be built in phases in alignment with the gradual growth of family tourism in Dubai," said Mohammed Abdullah al-Gergawi, chairman of Dubai Holding, which is Sheikh Mohammed's personal investment vehicle and will develop the project.
The latest version of the plan includes construction of 743,000-square-metre mall, connected to a theme park, theatres, medical tourism facilities and 100 hotels and serviced apartment buildings with 20,000 rooms.
The mall itself would in fact be the second largest in the world after the New South China Mall in Dongguan, which officially has 999,000 square metres of lettable space. However, it is still 36% vacant nine years after it opened. The Dubai complex would be able to welcome 180 million visitors annually. Seven kilometres of promenades connecting the facilities would be opened to the air during the winter but covered and air-conditioned during the summer.
Dubai is still recovering from a 2009 debt crisis and the International Monetary Fund has warned that several new real estate projects could lead to another boom-bust cycle.
But officials say they are able to handle the risks, and a strong economy is helping Dubai's government-linked businesses restructure their debt.
