For Computer-Aided Manufacturing of trispokedovetiles, I've published a Javascript web-page -
Trispokedovetiles: CNC code to cut tiles web-page G-code generator [LINK]
- which generates Computer Numerical Control (CNC) code which I've tested with CNC Simulator Pro [LINK] but not on a real CNC cutter as yet.
In case you are wondering what a "trispokedovetile" is, it is the name I have given to a class of 3-spoke dovetailing tiles which fit together like this.

Does the package allow for rounding external corners to match the inevitable rounded internal corners?
It all reminds me of this, again based on deformed hexagons but with no symmetry (although in that case the guy took a very roundabout route to generate his gcode). Both designs are necessarily a bit wasteful as you cannot cut the interlocked figures and you just have to try to fit them on the material as best you can. I recreated this latter design from scratch to use for sets of coasters which will then interlock across a table-top. The design in this thread would work quite well for the same kinds of things.

This image shows trispokedovetiles with CIRCLE = 130% - in other words the length of the diameter of the (partially drawn) circles is 1.3 times the maximal diameter of the (partially drawn) hexagons.
So you type in what is the length in mm of the HEXAGON maximal diameter, what length will be equal to "100%"?
It's like if I tell you "the width of a rectangle is to be 100% and the length 130%".
Fine but before you can cut the rectangle from a sheet you need to know what length 100% is to be in mm.

What about needing a near zero tool diameter?

except that the inside corners will have the radius of the cutter so the square outside corners will not fit together with them.
EDIT- yes, probably good for a laser cutter which uses G-Code, but the paths will not work for rotary tool machines because square outside corners will not fit radius inside corners

It is what it is and if that is of aid to someone in manufacturing some things in some ways but not other things in other ways then that's OK with me because I am not offering any warranty with the software.
07-12-2016 #9
If instead of a single flavour of G-Code with no consideration for the cutter being used it generated a drawing of a single tile there would be the option for using CAM to generate G-Code suitable for the user's machine rather than that suitable only for a laser/plasma which uses the generated flavour of G-Code.
It might make a nice decorative pattern for Diamond Drag Engraving the surface of a plate prior to cutting a part though.

I edited out the stuff that stuffs Mach3's interpreter and the path looks OK but if I use a cutter with a positive diameter then there will be gaps of cutter width between the tiles once assembled, so for a router to cut the tiles they would need to be arranged as densely on the material as possible but not in their assembled pattern.

Which? survey puts broadband alongside food and water for importance
Which? has been lobbying over a number of broadband issues for sometime and as part of this it commissioned a survey of 2,000 people around broadband, and while we don't know the location of the people the sample is described as nationally representative.
The headline from the survey is that 90% described broadband as essential, and this was higher than running a car (68%) or even a TV (73%). Interestingly running water scored 97%, food 97%, energy supply 95% and adequate housing 95% are the only items to score higher than broadband, takeaway food was at the bottom with 13% saying it was an essential
"This research underlines again just how important broadband is to our everyday lives. Yet many of us are still experiencing persistent service interruptions and a large proportion of the population can't access usable speeds to carry out the most basic tasks.
The government must urgently press ahead with its reforms to give us the faster and more reliable broadband connections we all need.Alex Neill, Which? Director of Home and Legal
What is likely to get a great deal of coverage is the poll also found that 3 in 10 were getting speeds below 10 Mbps (Mega bits per second), and actually that is no surprise since our monthly speed test results show that if we eliminate obviously Wi-Fi devices such as tablets and mobiles, 39% have a speed of 10 Mbps or slower. Including mobiles and tablets only adds an extra 1%, but drops the mean speed from 26.7 Mbps to 24.3 Mbps.
Profile of upload speeds in November 2016
It is pretty simple as to why so many people are reporting speeds under 10 Mbps and it is not because of a massive failure in the coverage statistics, but simply that millions are yet to upgrade to the faster services, the reasons for this slow upgrade rate will be varied, but the extra cost of the faster services has to be a significant one. Also it is possible that for people where broadband is just another monthly bill rather than an obsession they may not even know that a faster product is available, and the constant drip feed of bad broadband stories may convince some that the new faster services are just a waste of money.
The survey also looked at other issues and with 68% reporting a problem with their broadband in the last 12 months the knee jerk reaction is to say UK broadband is incredibly broken, but think about it for a moment, we know that many people equate problems with their Wi-Fi to also be a broadband problem and identifying whether a video is buffering due to a problem with your broadband or provider rather than the service itself is much harder.
Automatic compensation for broadband faults is something that is overdue, but this is as much a retail problem as it is a wholesale one, though for people with vertically integrated providers this might be simpler. Where compensation will become much more complex is compensating for slow speeds that dip below sales estimates, the danger being that providers will simply spread the cost of compensation across the customer base and providers may simply switch to giving lower speed estimates to ensure minimal compensation is needed, or refusing to take on customers which may mean some people are stuck on years old services.
Of course it could be said that a pure fibre future would solve all this, but speed slow downs are possible with FTTH/FTTP since it is still a contended service and not immune to fibre breakages. The challenge is getting everyone to upgrade to the new services, if something like 80-90% take-up was a foregone conclusion then there would be no need for the BDUK roll-outs as commercial operators would be chasing the revenue. B4RN with its high levels of community engagement and rolling out in areas where people may be using dial-up or satellite connections is reported to have a 60% take-up, thus highlighting the scale of the task faced even when pure fibre is deployed.
"It's no surprise that broadband is viewed as essential: the UK has a strong and leading digital economy and our members are continually innovating and investing in their networks. The UK broadband market is very competitive and Ofcom statistics show speeds and quality are improving year-on-year. However, we recognise that more can always be done to improve services, which is why billions are being invested in our broadband infrastructure from a wide and growing range of providers across the UK."James Blessing, Chair of the Internet Services Providers' Association
If Which? produced a survey that showed 30% of their respondents had speeds below 10Mbps, while SFBB is available to over 90%, what do you think their response should have been?
a) Check they did get a properly distributed, random, set of respondents?
b) Conclude that a lot of people need to be advised to upgrade?
c) Blame BT and the government?
We know they chose (c). A proper consumer advice org would surely have chosen (a) then (b).
I also note that the language of the press release entirely forgets to mention that the 10Mbps (which might become a right) isn't forced on people. Those with slower speeds might be perfectly happy, and refuse to upgrade (at their cost) through choice.
Did they check to see how many of their sub-10Mbps respondents actually wanted to upgrade?
The speed estimates are already pessimistic, here we're estimated at 1-2 Mbps, but actually getting 3 mbps
It is a fact that the take up of ultra fast broadband is down to affordability versus need. We have recently had FTTC enabled and we have upgraded, but most of my neighbours will not pay what is 100% increase to upgrade.
My mother's neighbour was complaining about her broadband as she said her computer kept saying "no signal" when she turned it on. It often took several attempts to get it working.
This sounded a bit odd, and after a little questioning it became obvious it was the screen saying "no signal" as the PC hadn't started up properly.
Anybody who has ever worked in support on complex systems knows the problem of locating root source problems from user descriptions...
Hi Broadband Watchers.
Today's results on TBB CSO for Surrey Customers 450K is running at 1.18 under 10 meg and they Surrey have not spent the money in the OMR pot yet so it looks like some results may be incorrect. The OfCom results on TBB maps shows the takeup rate on the post codes which highlights old Which survey results. The responsibility is on the ISP,s to upgrade the service not BT/Openreach.
@Blackmamba None of our maps are showing Ofcom data, https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/postcode-search does show the Ofcom 2015 data for a postcode when someone does a postcode search.
We would map the Ofcom data if the error rate was not so high.
So if people have to choose between food, water and broadband they are going to have to think about it? Seriously?
One aspect that we're butting up against in our village where Gigaclear is delivering commercially is cost.
FTTP is a luxury product at >£40 per month plus £200 installation and many households can't afford it.
Therefore households will stay on <2Mbps ADSL and the local BDUK outfit won't upgrade us to FTTC, because the area's already covered.
They won't feel like they have "chosen" not to upgrade however.
WWWombat: I took part in a parallel Which? survey, that one of Which? members. They were indeed thorough, and they are well aware of all of the factors affecting speeds - as they make clear on their online chat pages and in the magazine. They do indeed advise people to choose the speed option to suit their needs (which might be higher or lower than currently).
But it is clear that one of the problems is the speed of rollout of faster options; another is the clarity of the providers about what is actually offered for the price. So BT is certainly being lobbied for action, and so is Ofcom.
The quality of the commissioned surveys? Which? always choose one of the market leading survey companies, and they all follow the rules about sampling and sample size. Of course they do!
In this respect, Which? is not acting as a consumer advice organization - they do that wearing a different hat. Here, they are a watchdog, like Thinkbroadband - one of the few entitled to make 'supercomplaints'. Which is why Andrew Ferguson takes their work seriously.
Hi Andrew Staff
I have checked a few post codes that are showing on your site and the OfComs Data seems very reliable and ties in with the D Sides speeds and take up. I would think the OfCom data would be from Openreach traffic / availability record off the FTTC results which were taken in the late spring. As all ISP,s (500) have this access it is up to them to support their customers this will come more apparmount when G/Fast kicks in the new year.
@Blackmamba In terms of speeds shown based on the data from providers that part is OK, its the NGA/superfast/ultrafast information that has a higher error rate.
NOTE: This is Ofcom 2015 data, so from Spring/Summer 2015
The first objective with Which surveys is to get themselves in the news (a common tactic). It's in their interests to give the worse impression. So instead of asking, what speed would be available to you, they ask what speed do you get. That conflating the two (which they imply by the "something must be done" line is deceitful as many choose the cheaper, not faster option.
I am more than happy with 8Mbps connection (that is "upto 17mbps"!). I don't want to pay more for a faster service as I would get no benefit from it. OTOH my good friend has a 256k broadband connection and would happily pay more to even bring it up to my speed.
If Which? do the right things in their online chat pages and in the magazine, but fail to reflect that in their press releases, what would you make of it?
I'm pretty sure my description would include the words "lies", "deceitful" and "self-aggrandizing".
Should Which? be allowed to cherry-pick from the facts?
Should the "Head of Legal" be able to submit that "the government must urgently press ahead with its reforms" when the data it gives out doesn't actually back that up?
If it really is "clear that one of the problems is the speed of rollout of faster options," why haven't we see them press for that instead? None of the government "reforms" are actually focused on that.
If the problem is in the "clarity of providers claims", where in the government's reforms at the Openreach level will that have an effect?
If Which? genuinely have constructed a quality survey, then why didn't they bother to construct a quality report, and a quality press release from the data?
I'm sure that Which? are quite capable of putting together some meaningful, helpful information for the discussion. We have problems, and there are discussions worth having.
But this press release is fodder for the worst of the Daily Mail readership. It helps *nothing*.
When they can come back with material that is thought-out and analysed like the one below, but with a consumer insight added, it'll be worthwhile.
Interesting report with some well thought out views. Only question is, was it biased to the procurers existing view, or did it inform their view?
What a load of rubbish. I would like to prove that by giving them broadband but no food or water.
It seems to be that if not-for-profit organisations become too big then they lose sight at an operational level of their objectives. Look at the issues at Age Concern, the RSPCA and the RSPB foe example.
In this case it looks like the need for impartiality and judgement has been overridden by an operational decision to get press coverage
Hi Andrews Staff.
Thanks for your reply.I was only checking on Post Codes that have a low speed showing. I feel on your maps for coverage the post codes should be allercated to their exact GPS position and not doubled up because it may cover up Bridge Faults. If this is implemented Estate Agents would have a better understanding when selling property in that area and the buyer.
The postcodes are plotted to the exact lat/lng that Ordnance Survey use for each postcode.
As for doubling up - no idea what you mean, dense urban areas can have postcodes in same or overlapping even when using a smallish dot.
As for Bridge Faults pray tell how we know one exists.
True. I guess it is getting harder to get airtime for your PR. Something needs to be done to grab attention...
The problem for Which? is that dumbing down to the DM level manages to play over the complexity that exists in the world of the internet.
You also have to factor whether the author crafted his document's view to match the desire of the funder.
But I don't think it can be denied that those represent a good set of views to take into account, though. You just have to add your own take on top of them.
So, that document represents a technology-based and society-based view. But it doesn't present a consumer-based view. Which? could provide that, but if it leaps to unsubstantiated claims from poorly-combined data, it loses credibility.

@fastman - this was feedback from Quendon.
You may find it worth looking into the BT "Community Fibre Partnership" scheme as an alternative to Gigaclear. The upfront cost per household can be lower and the monthly charges should definitely be, plus there is at least a decent choice of ISPs.
slamdunc drop a mail to [email protected]
Ironic, isn't it?
The reason Superfast Essex won't subsidise Quendon is because Gigaclear say they are doing it. But not enough people are willing to pay GC rates to meet the threshold ... so GC aren't really doing the area.
But, because SFE aren't funding it ... the best option for the residents is to call BT, and subsidise it themselves!
wombat !!!! gigaclear provide digital exlusion as only the rich can afford it !!!!
@WWWombat yes it is ironic on the face of it.
However it looks like Gigaclear have adopted a more pragmatic attitude and have dropped the rigid pre-build targets they previously had in favour of an expectation that they will attract the numbers over 5 years rather than all up-front.
It still means that we'll have a digital divide in the short term, but once FTTP prices come down over the next X years I'm hoping it should get more affordable. Is that realistic?
Important note the pre-build targets don't apply in areas with public funding, and some of those contracts did include a social inclusion tariff.
Seems Quendon has been caught out by Market Review clauses and no-one chasing/acting to revisit things.

Insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. Insulation can assist with weatherproofing and eliminate moisture problems such as condensation. Some types of insulation also have soundproofing qualities. A well insulated and well designed home will provide year round comfort, cutting cooling and heating bill by up to half. This, in turn, will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
So how does it work
Insulation products come in two main categories – bulk and reflective. These are sometimes combined into a composite material. There are many different products available. To compare the insulating ability of the products available look at their R-value, which measures resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the higher the level of insulation. The Building Code of Australia sets out minimum requirement for materials R-values used in construction of buildings. It is generally advisable to exceed these for greater comfort and energy savings.
Take Action
Choosing the right level of insulation for our climate
Within Ballarat area, even though we have some hot days in summer, the main priority for building design is to reduce heat loss in winter. This makes sense if you think of the amount of time you spend actively heating your home during the winter months, compared with the select number of days during summer where temperatures reach uncomfortable levels. Luckily insulation can help with both.
As outlined above, all insulation has a rating which measures resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the higher the level of insulation. For the Ballarat climate, it is recommended that you have a minimum of the following R values.
- External walls – R=2.8
- Ceilings – R=4.1
It is also recommended you insulate your floor in cool climates like Ballarat.
- Floors – R=?
Selecting from the different insulation on offer
There are two main types of insulation (1) bulk and (2) reflective.
Bulk insulation mainly resists the transfer of conducted and convected heat, relying on pockets of trapped air within its structure. Its thermal resistance is essentially the same regardless of the direction of heat flow through it. Bulk insulation includes materials such as glasswool, wool, cellulose fibre, polyester and polystyrene. All materials come with one material R-value for given thickness.
Reflective insulation mainly resists radiant heat flow due to its high reflectivity and low emissivity (ability to re-radiate heat). It relies on the presence of an air layer of at least 25mm next to the shiny surface. The thermal resistance of reflective insulation varies with the direction of heat flow through it. Reflective insulation is usually shiny aluminium foil laminated onto paper or plastic and is available as sheets (sarking), concertina-type batts and multi-cell batts. Together these products are known as reflective foil laminates or RFL.
Which one suits you?
Deciding which type of insulation best suits your home can be a challenge. Luckily there are a number of resources to help you decide:
- Visit the Smart Living Centre, we have an extensive display of different types of insulation
- Check out RENEW, a DIY sustainability magazine produced by the Alternative Technology Association have compiled a series of buyers guides, including one on insulation, to provide consumers with independent advice on sustainable products for their home. These can be purchased on-line, or you can pop into the Smart Living Centre and pick up a hard copy for free.
- Check out these fact sheets from from Sustainable Energy Authority of Victoria (now Sustainability Victoria) and the Australian Government's Your Home Technical Manual which provide summaries of the different types of insulation on offer and their potential application and are a good place to start in determining what will best suit your needs.
- Choice have also prepared a Home Insulation Buying Guide for things to look out for when making your purchasing decision

Korean Drama : On The Way to the Airport
- I don't know why Do-Woo's wife hates their daughter so much. But the thing that I knew from watching the drama is Annie is a stepdaughter to Do-Woo. Maybe because she having affairs and got pregnant? I don't know. We will know why from the next episodes, I guess.
- Not just that, Choi Soo-A's husband also being so assertive to his daughter. He sent her daughter to other countries and seems not care about her at all.
- This is my first time watching a drama which a married person fall in love with another married person. It is also rare to watch a drama or movie about aviation industries (In Malaysia we only have Awan Dania, if I'm not mistaken). It's unique, I can say?
- So far, on the first and second episode shot in Malaysia like Putrajaya, Istana Budaya, and few more places. And few throwback time at other episodes.

So, this is my first free Friday read (I don't really know what happened to the last two ones! I was a bit off the internet).
For this I'm going to read Crown of Midnight. I'm currently re-reading the Throne of Glass series and oh my, it is so good to read it again!!
I'm currently reading two books (well reading one book and listening to an audiobook). I'm reading Horizon by Tabitha Lord (that I got.on Netgalley) and I'm listening to The Help for my last roll.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful Friday!

Discussion in 'General Video Gaming Chat' started by Garrett, Apr 15, 2002.
Though you gamers might like to know, a new series of Game Pad started tonight on Bravo.
Missed most of it but I am sure they will be repeated.
Violet looked a bit more sensible this time round.
Class show BTW.
Hi Ono
It is on every night, also it is on Saturday at 16.30, could it be the repeat of tonights. Also when the series end, they start from the beginning again.
I watched it last night and must admit, VB did look pretty eadable.
Thanks I thought it was just me, and I dont mean her prominent assets, she looked thoroughly attractive.
She looked better than n GP1 but still with those outstanding assets.
Must be hard for her to play video games, not being able to see the pad and all.
The way she looking at present, Im sure if she is having problems there will be no short supply of males willing to help her.
.....I dont want to lower the tone here, but......
......take it from a man in the know, in a few eps time ''they'' are practically falling out!
...the last eps were only finished last night so all games should be nice'n'fresh for yer!
If thats the case I think they must be showing them in reverse order, as she seem to put more on each day.
u're all sicko's watching a computer game program just to ogle
at the presenters norks!
I'd like to investigate this further.
What channel \ time does this program come on? ;-)
I have Sky Tv with their most complete satellite package
I beleive there's quite a few other computer game programs
on. I always seem switch the telly on half way through the
program. What other computer game tv programmes
are on satellite?
Ill try and find out myself tonight when i get home.
I remember VB from when i was 13 but I am sure her *assets* have grown significantly But my extensive search of the web has revealed no more than a very boring home page. This one is weird but worth a luck, Who knows where all this stuff comes from http://lavender.fortunecity.com/hoskins/128/vb.htm:grin:
I just had a look at thet link - NICE TAT'S! (no, that's not a spelling mistake, I like the one on her arm best)
Ive just had a look, they must be the semi - permanent type
They certainly don't look real to me. (Sid James type laugh)

Special Features
- Bonus episode from Season 7: Little Girl Who
Normally based in Hawaii, Magnum, P.I. launches its sixth season with a jaunt to Merrie Old England, where private detective Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) and his boss-by-proxy Higgins (John Hillerman) have been assigned to oversee the London estate owned by their mutual employer, the celebrated (and never-seen) author Robin Masters. Upon his return to Oahu, Magnum resumes his usual duties, acting as security at Masters' Hawaiian estate and accepting whatever "outside" P.I. jobs come his way. Season six has many highlights, among them the near-surrealistic episode "The Kona Winds," in which everybody in the cast behaves in a thoroughly unexpected manner -- including Magnum, who enters into an affair with a married woman. Another semi-fantasy installment, "Rapture," involves what appears to be a scuba-diving ghost. In "The Hotel Dick," Magnum leaves Masters' employ for a less glamorous job as house detective at the Hawaiian Gardens Hotel -- and in the course of events rather uncharacteristically admits to needing glasses to read. Gwen Verdon guest stars in "Going Home," in which Magnum returns to his hometown only to get enmeshed in a bitter feud. And in "Mad Dogs and Englishmen," Higgins is accused of theft and fired from the Masters estate -- but what appears to be happening, isn't. The season ends with "Photo Play," guest-starring Cassie Yates in the recurring role of photographer Sally Faraday, whose arrival in Hawaii proves disastrous for everyone within Magnum's circle of friends. ~ Hal Erickson

Christ in you - His Kingdom in the world
02/07/17 08:10
In Jesus we are put to death in the flesh and raised in the spirit of life to live and multiply life in the personal life of Jesus. Like Jesus we are joined to our Father and are an expression of His being. As such we have His Heart, His grace and His authority exercised in spirit and life to bring hope where there is despair and joy where there is sorrow. As participants with Jesus we are resurrection and life.
Life-giving is a state of being. It is what the trinity represents, called by Paul, the law of the spirit of life. In this spirit we are called sons: Sons of God alive and releasing life in the spirit of sonship.
The apostolic mandate authorises us to present the non-believer with the glory what already belongs to her. And to the Believer the pearl of great price he has never known or has lost sight of: The treasure hid in the field. This treasure is that we belong in the Holy Family and that we are one with our Father. You and Father are one!
There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Neither is there separation between humans and God.
We are sons notionally when we live in a separation mind-set. We are sons in spirit and in truth when we agree with what Jesus has accomplished – our union with God. He has made us one with our Father and sons in spirit and in truth. In religion and law we are sons notionally - not sons in spirit and in truth. We are near the Kingdom but not in it. Yet our real place in Christ is in God, positioned in His presence.
There is no substitute for Christ's life as our life. The advance of the Kingdom of God is not the spread of a program or the adherence of Believers to a system of morality and values. It is firstly the person of Jesus, secondly the regenerating life of the trinity in you and thirdly – Father in all Believers manifesting in them as the sons of God and the new creation Kingdom of God. Rooted in Him we reveal the nature and qualities of our Father.
The Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus began is the multiplication of Jesus as people. It is Jesus writ large. Happy are they who know Jesus as a life and a person rather than an agenda or an ideology. These are the salt of the earth who impart love, transformation and life. Robert Rohr writes that it is ..
'These few are enough to keep the world from its path toward greed, violence, and self-destruction. God is calling everyone and everything to Himself. God just needs some instruments and images who are willing to be "conformed unto the pattern of his death" and transformed into the power of his resurrection (Phil. 3:1o). They are not "saved" as much as chosen, used, purified, and beloved by God - just like Jesus, who did it first and invited us to "the great parade.
' This is the dance of life and the parade of the Life-Givers in fellowship. It is those who are rejoicing in new found hope and the knowledge that death will be swallowed up by life and that joy will triumph over dread.
Is this the province of some spiritual elite? No way. Simply the effect of those for whom Jesus and nothing else is their life.
Many years ago a Christian colleague at a state High School asked me if I believed my denomination had the truth. Attempting to sound as humble and reasonable as I could, I told him that I did so believe. I would not say this today however. Rather I would want to be in a position where THE TRUTH had me. In the new covenant we are absorbed into the fellowship of God.
Certainly sound theology is a road to truth when it is an aid to our understanding of who God is, what He has done for us in Jesus and who we are as a result. Paul called this 'My Gospel,' Jesus called it 'This Gospel of The Kingdom' and other writers called it the 'Apostles Teaching. Jesus was more exact. He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life.' This sums it up. Jesus is all of this and more. He is resurrection and life. Paul and John tell us that God is both Spirit and the Order of the universe. But Dr Gordon Moyes expresses it well when he writes, 'Christianity is not a religion but a person.' All of us are life-giving persons when we are persons for whom the person of Jesus is our life. All of us are progressing towards the truth of who God is, who we are and what He has done for us when we are new covenant believers and not lingering in an old covenant mind-set. In the former there is constant development into mature sons. In the latter there is a ceaseless circling of the mulberry bush and a desperate alertness for new straws to grasp.
'Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother' Gal 4.25,26 NIV.
God is a person. He is spirit and life. Paul calls God the law of the spirit of life. This law is not on stone. Neither is it Christian ethics and morality. It is the person of Jesus Christ manifest as you. His spirit is pervasive and He is near all. He is beckoning all into His infinite life. We can live in 'our understanding' and be living in droplets rather than in rivers of life. We can be comfortable in our 'perspective' and be dormant in a Kingdom sense releasing un-life in the name of life. Whatever your denomination and upbringing, you need to take responsibility for the quality of your sonship and discover what the new covenant means for you and for those whose lives you are meant to touch with the spirit and life of God.
Robert Rohr writes again, '
By God's choice and grace, many seem to be living this mystery of the suffering and joy of God who do not formally belong to any church … And many who have been formally baptized have never chosen to "drink from the cup that I must drink or be baptized with the baptism that I must be baptized with" (Mark 1o:38). They have the right words but not the transformative experience. What is the experience. Partly it consists of dying to our own ideas and being raised to His. In fullness it means dying entirely to self and being raised to an entire life in Jesus. This is a process rather than a one-off. But it is an adventure of increasing joy in the discovery of God and the revelation of our true selves and those with whom we live
'But what does Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son' Gal 4.30 NIV.

Using instinct to guide you through auto repairs is rarely a good approach. Rather, you've got to build your knowledge base. Because you rely on your car so much, repair work can make you feel very uneasy. Go over this article to learn more about auto repairs.
Prior to letting a mechanic touch your vehicle, ensure that they are A.S.E certified. This indicates passage of written testing and experience of no less than two years. This tells you that the mechanic is qualified to work on your car.
Familiarize yourself with your car's manual. Your mechanic will need the manual for certain information. Sometimes you may find things that you can easily fix yourself and do not require a trip to the dealership.
Make sure you are receiving OEM parts. These parts are directly from the manufacturer of your vehicle. Generic may be cheaper, but you don't know the quality of these parts as time goes on. What could be a good deal in the present won't always be the best thing to for you later, so try using OEM parts when you're able to.
Do not leave any items in your vehicle if you are taking it to be repaired. Mechanics may need to take these items out to do the work and they aren't responsible if you discover something missing. You want to remove items from your trunk also.
Look for signs that should serve as a warning that your repair man is no good. If they avoid your questions or give you the run around, they may not be reliable. You should feel like you can trust them, so don't fear seeing someone else.
With these tips, you will have a much higher chance of a smooth experience the next time your vehicle breaks down. While fixing your car is not a fun experience, you can definitely find yourself in a winning situation with the helpful information that you've read. Use these tips to be in control of all of your vehicle repairs.

Do some research
Before you join any fitness facility, it's a good idea to ask what kind of cleaning practices are in place. For instance, Sari Nisker, co-owner of an indoor cycling and yoga studio, has a regular cleaning routine in place. "If you've borrowed a mat, the staff will clean it again, we have certain towels that we use to wipe down the exercise bikes and we wash our yoga blankets," she says. Don't be afraid to ask the staff at your gym for specifics, like how often the equipment and facility are cleaned.

Simmons Beautyrest Exceptionale Mattresses
If you ask what the Beautyrest Exceptionale mattress has to offer you'll get a very long answer. The wiser question may be what this BeautyRest model doesn't offer.
From double stacked pocketed coil springs to extra edge support, the Simmons Beautyrest Exceptionale mattress has a flawless design. The coils are layered so that the softer, body conforming ones are supported underneath by firmer springs. This is quite efficient at eliminating the sagging that many consumers find discomforting with many single lined innerspring coils.
The fact that each coil has its own pocket adds to the mattress's ability to conform to the body and eliminate motion transfer across the bed. This means couples can sleep more comfortably and the chances of the middle of the bed hitting the floor in a few years are quite limited.
Each Simmons Exceptionale mattress includes either memory foam or latex, and some models combine layers of each in different arrangements. These are some of the top rated materials being used in mattresses today, and BeautyRest ensures that each mattress is comforting and body impression proof no matter which foam is included.
While there are many different comfort features that can be chosen when you purchase a BeautyRest mattress, the Beautyrest Exceptionale Plush remains one of the most popular. The surface is soft and comfortable without being so plush you lose the sense of control over your body. There are also even softer versions such as the Simmons Beautyrest Exceptionale Pillow Top, which cradles the body as if sleeping in a cloud.
Now back to the wiser question we promised to answer: what does this mattress not offer?
About the only thing we found that the BeautyRest Excpetionale lacks is negative consumer reviews. Everyone seems to love this bed and there are great testaments to its ability to stand up to long term use even with heavier sleepers. This is a true statement, since many mattresses simply fall apart after a year or two of resting under high body weights.
What the Beautyrest Exceptionale offers is real value, luxurious comfort, and peace of mind. The common problems of foam becoming too hot and innersprings losing their bounce are completely eliminated by a superior design and efficient use of top notch materials. Before you purchase any other bed, it is worth the time to check out what BeautyRest has to offer with this line. It may just be exactly what you need for the next twenty years.

Our guest blog this month is from Sarah Living at The Wellness Alliance:
Sounds simple I know, but if you start each day with a smile the endorphins your body produces will stay with you for the rest of the day. Why not go one step further, give the gift of a smile to someone on your way to work. Not only will it make that person feel amazing, you will benefit too. Go on, try it!
Get off the bus/train one stop early or park further away from your workplace or even better, if you live near enough, walk to work. It's all to do with the endorphins again but also it will give your brain time to focus on the day ahead.
How many times do you stop and assess all the things you have to be grateful for in life? Today I am grateful for a beautiful blue sky and sunshine, for my health, for the music I've got playing, for my lovely dog walk this morning. Get the idea? When we focus on the good things in our lives on a daily basis, we become more positive and that has a huge impact on our health.
What we eat throughout the day has a huge effect on how healthy (or not) we feel. There are some foods to avoid like sugar and highly processed foods which will give you a quick rush of energy but will fade very quickly and make you feel sluggish and therefore not perform at your best. For a guide on what to eat why not follow 'Clean Eating Alice' on Instagram. She has excellent recipes that can be made in a rush but will also give you ideas and inspiration.
If you have a grievance with someone or something at work it's always best to share it rather than allow resentments to build up. Just be cautious about how you broach the subject. Show kindness, try not to be too accusatory and see it from the other person's viewpoint too. I have found that a good starter is to say: "When you do _______, it makes me feel _______". No-one can tell you how you feel. Say your bit and if it's appropriate, listen to what the other person has to say. If not, walk away. You will feel good for having been honest. How the other person feels is their stuff, not yours.
Thanks Sarah!

Rifkind has resigned then
as Security Committee chairman
- Royter-Hatfood this'd this
god damn yes
I cannot stand Jack Straw
sleazy git plus his brother is a p doh on the sex offenders register which I believe Straw decided (in his capacity as home secretary) would not be public info about three weeks after his brother was convicted
(my memory may be sketchy on this but it's generally true)
plus y'know, Iraq dossiers and all that
- umlaut_ampersand, badmanreturns, colonel_getafe, colinzealuk, icehockeyhair, and monoshono this'd this
Straw's son is going to get voted in in May,
along with the son of Blair, to carry on their daddies' good work.
seems he's just resigned from the chair
and not the actual committee
yeah, that's just enough contrition. Well done. Carry on.
Did you see Rifkind's Times journalist son, Hugo,
burning George Galloway twitter?
Galloway tweeted: "Has Hugo Rifkind of The Murdoch Times had anything to say? He's normally loquacious..."
To which Hugo replied: "Thanks for asking, George. I suppose I'd just say I salute my dad's courage, strength and indefatigability. Hope this helps."
Quality shabs and bants.
Can't imagine H. Rifkind being inclined to cast his wry journalistic eye over this story with his Dad involved...
1) Why is the "left-wing" Mirror cheerleading so fervently for a posh Tory journalist?
2) Why are two of Cameron's Better Together disciples squabbling with each other?
3) Why did Rifkind think comparing his dad to Saddam Hussein would annoy Galloway?
1) What's that got to do with anything?
2) What's that got to do with anything?
3) It's just a good line to trot out in public.umlaut_ampersand this'd this
Didn't quite understand the love this was getting on twitter yesterday.
I mean, it's mildly amusing, but hardly Groucho Marx.
well, the other thing is
he's basically saying that his dad is as bad as Saddam
- TheWza this'd this
'A prophet or an achiever must never mind an occasional absurdity; it is an occupational risk.'
"We propose first to expand credit in order to create demand. That new and greater demand must, of course, be met by a new and greater supply of goods, or all the evils of inflation and price rise will result"
hmm interesting
Wasn't Rifkind involved in some pretty murky business years ago?
Arms dealing or something? He's a classic old school sleazy Tory. Still find him a million times more likeable and honest than Jack fucking Straw.
That was Jonathan Aitken, wasn't it?
They're all much of a muchness...
Aitken: "If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of British fair play, so be it. I am ready for the fight. The fight against falsehood and those who peddle it. My fight begins today. Thank you and good afternoon."
*cut to courtroom*
Judge: "I hereby find you guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice!"
Can't find anything on his wiki
but I'm sure he was implicated in some mini-scandal ages before this.
Yeah, searching for murky goings on involving him
brings up far too much stuff:
Further googling reveals he's Mark Ronson's cousin wtf
Well on the one hand that's a wtf moment
on the other it's a good reminder of quite how incestuous and inbred the British establishment is.
can you spend the rest of the day googling all the sleaze on everyone
and printing it out?
no beeving in this thread
(you prick)
I was making a joke
a FRIENDLY joke.
This is like the boy who cried wolf, only in this tale he's completely innocent and blameless.
I don't think Rifkind was iirc
but he's certainly one of those high profile 90s `Major Cabinet` Tories when Tory Sleaze was at its absolute pinnacle so you can certainly be forgiven for lumping him in.
they are not all much of a muchness
Aitkin was 'special' arranged for druks and pros for his 'clients' (who came from a country where they could probably behead you for that)
Sold defence equipment (including torture equipment (electric batons) to a regime which is known to have used it on its own people in this way.
Of course what he got done for was his accepting stuff from foreign gentlemen and then lying bout it and most famously, prepping his young daughter to lie in court about it.
Many of the gentlemen that he did business with came from a culture where greasing palms is part of doing business, it is not suggested that he was behaving in a way that was unacceptable to his colleagues or his boss.
Of course all this is 'alledgedly', because he liked suing and Im not entirely convinced by his saying that he has reformed......because i think hes a liar....he was famous for trying to sue people, acting outraged that people had cast aspersions about him.
He liked the criminal mass murderer Nixon (who lied to the US administration to an enormous extent regarding criminal attacks on a country with which the US was at peace) and the like was reciprocated.
Aitkin has managed to avoid most of the accusations against him, he has been assisted in this by his position in power which has allowed him to be able to get co-operation from others in power to cover up embarrissing stuff about him (like his company supplying arms to Sadaam under his tenure but he got gagging orders on this.....perhaps some people think he was a spook for good.....but whatever, he thought that he was above the rules that apply to others (a LOT of rules))
Still now he is a christian, so Im sure that god and the bible will keep him in check and will make him gooder
Has anyone managed to uncover any evidence
that either of them has done anything wrong yet?
The case against Straw in Dispatches last night appeared to consist of
1) He shouldn't have had the meeting in the House of Commons
2) He should probably bone up on the rules of the House of Lords if he decided to take it on and got sent to the Lords.
Pretty thin pickings. Dispatches tried to snare about 20 MPs, most of them told them to do one, and they were left trying to make a telly programme based on the only two who'd even talk to them.
Also `Cash For Access` is the
absolute weakest name for a scandal I've ever heard. So, so weak. Makes it a non-story before you've even read anything about it (which I haven't actually done yet)TheWza this'd this
Dispatches should have tried
to get the meetings done in an attic in the HoC.
- TheWza and GetOffMyLawn this'd this
The biggest thing I've learned in all this
is that Jack Straw is a really massive fan of sugar.
Is this a good thread
to tell the story of the (more than one) time I saw Jack Straw's penis?
- BritpopForever this'd this
Life drawing class?
You drew the short straw?
serious side question:
Are hay and straw the same thing?
Not traditionally.
Hay is dried long grass. Straw is the stalks of cereal crops.

Sunday sermon 15 March 2015 – the wise and foolish maidens
Reading: Matthew 25:1-15
Weddings have various cultural peculiarities and traditions. Luckily you don't have to do them all if you don't want to – the legal side of getting married is less complicated than the complexities of "what has always been right". One thing that is unusual in weddings – certainly the ones I have attended – is for the groom to be late. It's only happened once to me as a marriage officer. The poor bride was left driving around in a car for 40 minutes. One can only imagine the conversation later that day.
The process was very different in bible times. In this incident they are nearing the end of that process. And a torchlight procession late at night was not unusual. In this parable there are ten bridesmaids on duty, as it were. The word translated as "bridesmaids" by some translations really means "virgins" or "maidens". Either way, they had to go out in the dark with their torches lit – at the right time!
Jesus gets straight into it as he talks about the future and the Kingdom. Listen again: Mat 25:1 "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Mat 25:2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
If the foolish ones had been smart, while their more organised sisters were sleeping, they could have gone off to get oil. They managed later. Cleary this was available at the equivalent of the Four Square late night superette.
Like any group (or church) you get both kinds – wise and foolish. What's also interesting is that the wise ones don't lend to the foolish ones. Those torches only burned, we are told, for about 15 minutes. They knew what their responsibilities were and stuck to the task.
Of course we tend to fall back on the well-known song when we read this parable. You may know – "Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning to the bread of day" – with all its verses! (Joy, love, peace in my heart, petrol for my Ford, wax on my board – keep me surfing to the break of day!). We tend to link the oil with strength to cope, or the power of the holy spirit.
The more central issue is being watchful and prepared. And the consequences of not being ready (being unwise therefore) are quite serious. Verse 10 begins to sound disturbing really. "And the door was shut". Here's the whole verse: Mat 25:10 "But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
The unprepared girls are locked out later – when they show up "organised" with their oil supply renewed. Jesus is quite matter of fact as he continues: Mat 25:11 "Later the others also came. 'Sir! Sir!' they said. 'Open the door for us!' Mat 25:12 "But he replied, 'I tell you the truth, I don't know you.'
We tend to allegorise these stories. I found one sermon by the famous JC Ryle which was 36 pages long! Okay it was large print, but you can make a lot of these parables. If we do – then we have to talk about the oil. What does this mean for us? If it's about salvation, you've got to get your own.
The more interesting question is this: how should we be wise rather than foolish as we await God's coming into our lives and world today? And the last verse is the key point: Mat 25:13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."
Of course no one knows it. Remember Jesus' words in Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." And for a long time people have been waiting and hoping.
One writer has suggested that waiting involves faithful living and living faith. The whole of Matthew spells out the kind of people we should be – going back to our previous salt and light sermon, through the Sermon on the Mount, and the other parables in part of the gospel – following Jesus requires faithful living and a living faith.
Another commentator writes this: The parable invites us to live our lives in celebratory anticipation, not sleepy apathy. It encourages us to stock up on lamp oil, despite the darkness of the night and the seemingly endless delay of the guest of honour. The parable dares us to be awake, vigilant, and, most importantly, hopeful.
Jarvis, Cynthia A. (2013-12-09). Feasting on the Gospels–Matthew, Volume 2 (Kindle Locations 8932-8934). Westminster John Knox Press. Kindle Edition.
Perhaps you would like to consider these thoughts as well through the week ahead:
- It's not about getting tired – they all fell asleep (like the disciples in Gethsemane). We all run out of steam at some point and need oil in our lamps in that sense!
- Think about being wise or foolish What is wisdom for us in our generation? Is this alertness and preparedness also about having an eye for the Kingdom? This is a Kingdom parable. Is it about focusing on what really matters?
- Is the ending harsh? The door is shut on them – He does not know them. You may remember this verse in Matthew as well: Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Mat 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Is their fate harsh in this parable? Or is this another serious warning – for the people of the day and for us too?
Tom Wright's comments are worth closing with today. It's hard to say this any better:
"There is one other aspect to this particular story which has roots deep in the Jewish context and has given rise to a tradition of hymn-writing about the coming of the bridegroom. Already in Matthew's gospel Jesus has referred to himself as the bridegroom (Matthew 9.15). In a previous parable Jesus spoke of the kingdom as being like a king making a marriage feast for his son (Matthew 22.2). Mention of a bridegroom hints again at Jesus' messiahship, which was of course a central issue in the previous chapters, ever since Jesus arrived in Jerusalem.
This highlights the fact that the parable isn't just about the very end of time, the great and terrible day for which the world and the church still wait. Throughout his ministry, Jesus was coming as Messiah to his people, Israel. They were the ones invited to the wedding feast. They, in this story, are divided between the wise, who know Jesus and make sure they keep alert for his 'coming', and the foolish, to whom at the end Jesus will say 'I don't know you' (verse 12, echoing 7.23). Just as the Sermon on the Mount summarizes, not Jesus' teaching to the subsequent church, but Jesus' challenge to the Israel of his own day, so these parables, towards the close of the final great discourse in Matthew's gospel, should probably be read in the same way, at least in their most basic meaning.
It is tempting to move away from this conclusion, because saying that parts of Jesus' teaching related particularly to a unique situation in his own time might make it look as though they are irrelevant for every other time. But that's not so. It is because what Jesus did was unique and decisive, changing for ever the way the world is and how God relates to it, that we have entered a new era in which his sovereign rule is to be brought to bear on the world. And in this new era, no less than in the unique time of Jesus and his first followers, we need as much as ever the warning that it's easy to go slack on the job, to stop paying attention to God's work and its demands, to be unprepared when the moment suddenly arrives."

I remember reading that entry too.
I can't believe how much time has gone by! Funny, because I was just under your old apartment in the coffee shop that has replaced that store, and I thought, "Yilly's place." Then, walking to work, I passed KC's, and remembered when you told me about your impending departure, and now, you have a job in the field, and you're a rockstar! You're ever so far from that beer you bought me as you told me your plans!

The great thing about being a writer is that you're Living, and while you live, you can Write, indefinitely.
You can change the World while you live and breathe, and that is what cultivates the pen and paper both together;
Anyone can and does write anything, but you've decided to write in hopes of becoming what people need one way or another.
In this world, there is so much to write about, yet so little life to give unto others;
That is what creates a Legacy.

With the Super 8s set to get underway this weekend, Sheffield Eagles will be looking to their inspirational skipper Mitchell Stringer to help guide them to success.
Stringer has been an influential figure for Mark Aston's side as the Eagles ended the regular season in third position, ensuring a place in the Super 8s which kick off with a trip to Bradford Bulls this Sunday.
Aston will be looking towards his captain to lead by example on the field as the Eagles look to build on an impressive end to the season, with a tough Super 8 opener at Odsal Stadium.
Stringer recently clocked 300 appearances for the Eagles, an achievement that didn't go unnoticed by his coach, who gave him his big break as a teenager which kick started his career in rugby league.
"Mitch started out here as a 17-year-old kid and went on a journey which took him to Super League and then he came back," Aston told The Star.
"He's our club captain and now he has made 300 appearances for Sheffield Eagles which is a fantastic achievement. He is a perfect example of what we spoke about in the early years when we set the club back up; we wanted to give kids from South Yorkshire an opportunity, and that's what happened to Mitch and he grasped his chance with both arms."
The 31-year-old is in his second spell with the Eagles after leaving to join then Super League outfit London Broncos before returning after a stint with Salford. He has been a regular ever since and, after having the early part of this season disrupted by injury, Aston claims he is now back to his best and ready for the exciting challenge ahead.
"He's had a couple of tough years fighting injuries but he has fought back, and he's got himself back into the form that he showed a couple of years ago when he was the Championship player of the year, and deservedly so," Aston added.
"He now has an opportunity to get back to Super League, and he has the hunger and desire to achieve that, and that is an important feature for a captain. Mitch has been an important figure at this club for a number of years, and his story epitomises Sheffield Eagles and is an example of what we try to do here."

A Lovely stroll along the track running below Garn Fadryn this afternoon in glorious sunshine produced an abundance of wildlife and stunning views of the coast around the Llyn.
I recorded one individual of The Gatekeeper (Pyronia tithonus) a rather nice looking butterfly, our first record of this species in the area. We also saw Meadow Brown and Small White Butterflies. We watched a pair of Merlins displaying spectacular acrobatics in the stiff breeze along the slopes of Garn Fadryn, they really are masters of the air ! Other birds seen included Stonechats, Pied Wagtail, Ravens and a solitary Buzzard.
Top photo shows the Gatekeeper
