Yet, the 6350 doesn't stop there with its Java apps. Beyond the music offerings it has a fair number of titles, some of which are subscription-based. They include The Weather Channel, WikiMobile, Yellowpages Mobile, a unit and currency converter, a world clock, MobiTV, Juice Caster, and Mobile Banking. As the 6350 comes with Assisted GPS, you also can get
The two-megapixel camera takes pictures in four resolutions and three quality settings. You'll also find a self-timer, a multishot mode, a brightness control, a 4x digital zoom, color effects, and white balance. The camcorder, which offers a similar set of editing options, caps clips for multimedia messages at 42 seconds, but you can shoot longer videos in standard mode. The 6350 has just 52MB of integrated memory for storing your work, so we suggest using a microSD card as backup--the phone can use cards up to 16GB. Photo quality is disappointing, unfortunately. Colors were drab and there was a lot of image noise.
You can personalize the 6350 with a selection of wallpaper and display themes. More options and additional ringtones are available from AT&T's Media Mall service using the WAP browser. Gamers can play demo versions of Monopoly Here & Now, Diner Dash 2, Midnight Bowl, and World Poker Tour Hold 'Em 2. The full versions and additional games titles are available for purchase.
We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) phone in San Francisco using AT&T service. Call quality was satisfying. The signal was clear and strong, there was no static or interference, and the volume was loud. Occasionally the voices warbled on our end, but it wasn't a big deal. We could hear in most environments and the phone didn't pick up a lot of background noise.
Callers reported good conditions. Most could tell that we were using a cell phone, but they didn't report anything amiss outside of the voice warbling we heard. Automated calling systems could understand us, but it was best when we were in a quiet room. Speakerphone and Bluetooth headset calls were fine as well.
Streaming video quality is unimpressive. There was a lot of pixelation and the audio was slightly out of sync with the video. It wasn't an enjoyable experience, even for short clips. On the bright side, the 3G connection (HSDPA 850/1900/2100) allowed for quick downloads and videos never paused for buffering. Music quality was decent given the external speaker's loud output, but our tunes sounded cleaner over headphones.
The 6350 has a rated battery life of 4.2 hours talk time and 18 days standby time. The tested talk time is slightly less, at 3.5 hours. The promised multimedia times are as follows: 5.4 hours of video playback, 5.58 hours of video recording, 25.3 hours of music playback, and 5.25 hours of gaming. According to FCC radiation tests, the 6350 has a digital SAR of 1.03 watts per kilogram.

I'm in the market for a newsletter plugin with the following features:
1) A magazine/newsletter template in which I can upload my company logo and send out three or so "stories"
2) The stories should have a "read more" button that links back to my site.
3) I need to upload addresses using a CVS file BUT because I'm switching over from Joomla I don't want my subscribers to have to re-subscribe or click any buttons. I want them to just open the email and see the newsletter, as they would have in joomla.
4) People can subscribe on my site.
I appreciate any help, thank you.

I am using CSS3 Responsive Web Pricing Tables Grids For WordPress, and I am trying to use this plugin to place an "add to cart" button on my table. When I place the shortcode into the appropriate area, it works only for the first table. If I use it on any consecutive table it breaks it completely. I wrote the makers of the price table and their response was:
It's a bug in WP Simple Paypal Shopping cart plugin. It using ":" for saving its data and then it's exploding data into array. I'm also using ":" sign for storing some table data and that plugin broke them. Line 475 (wp_shopping_cart.php):
$pieces = explode(':',$m);
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you.

Truth or dare leads to arsonApril 08,2014Police: Dare led
to arson charge
A Fair Haven Union High School student playing truth or dare took the game too far, according to police who say he set a trash bin in one of the schools bathrooms on fire.
Jordan Chadburn, 16, of Fair Haven, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court Monday to misdemeanor criminal charges of arson in the fourth degree and reckless endangerment.
Chadburn, who appeared in court on a citation, remains free on court-ordered conditions that include he stay away from the high school and that he not possess a lighter.
Fair Haven Police say Chadburn was arrested after a fire in a boys bathroom near the cafeteria Feb. 2. Video footage at the school showed the teenager entering the bathroom multiple times shortly after 2 p.m. that day. Flaming papers in a trash can were discovered in the bathroom shortly after by a school resource officer.
In interviews with several other students, police say they learned that Chadburn had been playing the game truth or dare minutes before the fire started and that he had been dared to light a piece of paper on fire in the boys bathroom.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

Twenty-year-old Sharon Rabbitte is pregnant. She's also unmarried, living at home, working in a grocery store, and keeping the father's identity a secret. Her own father, Jimmy Sr., is shocked by the news. Her mother says very little. Her friends and neighbors all want to know whose "snapper" Sharon is carrying.
In his sparkling second novel, Roddy Doyle observes the progression of Sharon's pregnancy and its impact on the Rabbitte family especially on Jimmy Sr. with wit, candor, and surprising authenticity.

Allow me to introduce you to my new little app, Postable
I absolutely hate having to switch all the "< " and ">" signs in my code to "<" and ">", respectively. I also hate having to write "&" anytime I want to include an ampersand. This makes including code snippets on my blog and whatnot extremely annoying, and today I finally got fed up.

-I can't change the date on any previous my posts= if I want a post to stay on the first page, I have to keep recreating it= stupid, unnecessary hassle.
-I can't change the date on new posts= I have to be on my computer more often, rather than scheduling posts daily around MY BUSY schedule
The point of ready-made blogs is to avoid these ridiculous errors. How do you all have these stupid little errors after about 10 versions!? INCOMPETENT RETARDS

I find that when make Compound Path gives troubles, sometimes Minus Front in the Pathfinder panel will work.
2. Re: Compound path not workingbudodan Jun 7, 2011 3:36 AM (in response to Printer_Rick)
Thank you so much for that.
I could not get my compound path to work properly. I did not know about all the pathfinder options, so this has a lot of possibilities for me now.
You saved me a lot of time.
3. Re: Compound path not workingSteve Fairbairn Jun 7, 2011 5:00 AM (in response to budodan)
Check also Winding Rule and Reverse Path buttons on the Attributes palette.
They can sometimes mend compound paths that don't work properly.

Compound paths can sometimes be very frustrating, even for experienced users. In addition to the other responses I would like to add this simple illustration:
Top row = composed of 5 big circles and 5 smaller ones directly on top. Doing a compound of all 10 gives an undesired result. This happens often when creating/editing type and trying to knockout the centers.
Bottom row = Solution. I grabbed the 5 smaller circles(They are selected in the screenshot) and made a compound path(nothing interesting happens at this point, but this step is important). Then I grabbed the compound path along with the 5 big circles. Now making a compound path give the desired result.

Thanks, that worked!
Changed from Non-Zero Winding Fill Rule to Even-Odd Fill Rule in fully expanded Attributes panel for both shapes and then Compound path worked.

For everyone here - many thanks - a combination of what is suggested here worked for me. I had text on top of objects. I did a compound of the text outline, selected the shape behind as well and then used minus front in pathfinder - worked a charm. I'd been trying to get both the text outline and shape to compound to no avail.

System Connected to Lyc I/O 360 in a Cardinal RG.
Display is showing 9.8% RH. The RH controller activated the pump shortly after this photo was taken.
System Connection for a Typical Fuel Injected Lycoming
Return air enters on the right side of the black system case, and is pumped out the left side and into the desiccant bottle. The desiccant bottle is clear so it is easy to see the condition of the indicating silica beads. Dry air exits the top of the bottle and is fed into the engine.
The system had run the pump since the prior picture and now indicates 5.8%.
The connection to the oil dipstick tube is a nylon threaded fitting that screws directly into the dipstick tube.
Outside humidity was starting to feed in through the open return air line, bringing the RH up to 7.7%.
The two lines feeding dry air into the engine. The line with the "T" feeds dry air into the exhaust and into the intake air plenum drain line. The line without the "T" feeds dry air into the crankcase vent line.
Line feeding air into the crankcase vent line (on the left) is fed about 18" up into the crankcase vent pipe to insure an air tight fit. The line on the right connects to the small diameter drain line for the intake air plenum. The other drain line to the far right is the drain line for the fuel pump, it needs no dry air connection.
Connecting the System to the Engine
System Sensitivity Demonstration
(Note: The test box on the right is displaying RH.)
This video also demonstrates that the inside of the engine is maintained at a very low humidity level.
When the system first turns on, the RH display immediately starts to decline, showing that the air coming from the dipstick tube is at or below the level displayed on the system.

IBM Java Applications Taking Advantage of SPARC Hardware Encryption
By Eric Reid-ISV Engineering-Oracle on Feb 03, 2016
We've been talking recently about IBM's GSKit, through which many IBM applications can automatically take advantage of SPARC Hardware Encryption (including the latest SPARC M7-based systems). We've since been asked whether this was also possible for Java-based IBM applications (such as WebSphere Application Server) or other applications written against IBM's SDK Java Technology Edition to take similar advantage. This post is written to help answer those questions.
What is the IBM SDK?
IBM has traditionally licensed Oracle's Java Runtime Environment and Java Developer Kit, modified it slightly, and released it as the IBM SDK. This combination of Java Runtime and Developer Kit is designed to support many IBM products, and can also be used for new development (although the recommended Java platform on Solaris is Oracle's own Java Runtime Environment and Java Developer Kit). Oracle Solaris ships with both Java 7 and Java 8, but most IBM apps include the Java 7 version of their SDK.
What is the Advantage of Using Hardware Cryptography on SPARC?
Sometimes quite a bit, depending on the size of the chunks of data being encrypted and decrypted. Take this simple Java program, which does an adequate (if somewhat artificial) job at demonstrating the use of Hardware Crypto from Java:
This code simply creates an array of random data of size specified at runtime, and then encrypts using the common AES128 cypher. This algorithm happens to be one of the many SPARC CPUs. When run on out-of-the-box Oracle and IBM implementations of Java 7 on SPARC, we can see the advantage to the code taking advantage of SPARC rypto:
Figure 1: AES128 Encryption on SPARC M7 (no workaround)
Again, this is a very artificial test case used to make a point.The benefit from hardware acceleration will vary by workload and use case, but the key point to keep in mind is that this hardware assist is always available on SPARC M7 (the differences are proportional on SPARC T4 and T5). In those cases where it makes a difference, one should make an effort to take advantage of it.
Whither WebSphere Application Server?
IBM WebSphere Application Server v8, like other J2EE application servers, is written in Java, and could therefore in theory take advantage of the workaround described in the next section. But you don't have to go with an unsupported solution for WAS, because Best Practice is usually to stand up the IBM's included HTTP Server in front of WAS, and HTTP Server is built with GSKit 8. Check to see that the version of HTTP Server you use with WAS v8 supports SPARC hardware encryption – if so, you're good to go!
How To Make Use of SPARC Hardware Crypto from IBM Java
Central to the Java Cryptography Architecture is the notion of JCA Providers, which allow developers to create and ship security mechanisms which can 'plug-in' to a Java Runtime via well-defined APIs. All Java runtimes ship with a default set of providers, usually found in the instance's java.security file. Since Java 7, the OracleUcrypto provider has been provided in Solaris releases of Java, specifically to interface with the underlying Solaris Ucrypto library (part of the Solaris Cryptographic Framework). On platforms based on SPARC T4, T5, M5, M6 and M7 CPUs, the Ucrypto library automatically takes advantage of any available underlying SPARC hardware cryptography features.
Those developing Java applications on Solaris with Oracle's implementation of Java will find that this functionality is available by default on SPARC; in fact, the OracleUcrypto provider has the highest priority in the instance's java.security file. Here's an excerpt from the default java.security file in Oracle JDK 1.7:
As mentioned above, Oracle's Java implementations are recommended on Solaris, but for those developers who must make use of the IBM SDK, you'll notice that the IBM version of the java.security file is not quite the same as that above. In fact, it is missing the OracleUcrypto provider:
What, then, can a developer do to reproduce the desired functionality?
1) The Officially-Supported SolutionBuild and deploy against Solaris 11's built-in Oracle JDK and JRE.
2) The Currently-Unsupported SolutionAs you might have already surmised, Java's Security Provider mechanism allows for quick and easy addition or substitution of additional Crypto providers (in the cases of third-party cryptographic hardware modules. By adding the UcryptoProvider to IBM's java.security file, Java executables will get that provider and the advantage it gives. Note: these instructions are correct for Java 7/SDK 7, but have not been tested on other major releases of Java:
Step 1: Add ucrypto-solaris.cfg to lib/security
Copy the ucrypto-solaris.cfg file from the Oracle Java 7 instance (in jre/lib/security) to the lib/security directory in the IBM SDK instance.
Step 2: Add UcryptoProvider as the first entry in the IBM lib/security/java.security file
Assuming you add to the top of the list, and keep the existing providers, the file above would end up looking as follows:
3) The (Hopefully) Future-Supported Solution
The above workaround does indeed work, but it's not yet supported by IBM. That's not to say we've not asked for it – we've submitted a feature request with IBM, and the good news is that any IBM customer who would also like to see this (perhaps you?) can upvote it now!

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
"I think it is not only unaffected by piracy, it benefits from pirating. You cannot stop pirating of comics. It's like trying to push the tide back with a broom. You can either be angry about it, and resistant, and fight and clamp down harder, or you can find ways to make that tool work for you. With Thrillbent, we offered all our files free to download on a weekly basis, so you can read them free on the site and you can also download them for free, and that way, sure enough, we got to control the quality of the image, we got to make sure it was not out of focus or crappy or corrupted files or whatever, we got to make sure there was a placard at the end that says, hey, if you like this come to Thrillbent for more stuff, and that worked wonders for us. And I know that pumped up our traffic. That is not the answer for every publisher, but I will go to my grave not buying the baloney that every pirated comic was a lost sale."
– Mark Waid, during the "Digital and Print" panel at Comic-Con International, when asked whether piracy poses a threat to the comics industry
Waid has said something similar before, and like then he again doesn't mention whether he views the illegal downloading of his Marvel work as an inevitability that they should embrace. The content on his own website is already free, so using it as an example for the argument that piracy does not equal a "lost sale" certainly muddies the "debate."
The phrase "That is not the answer for every publisher…" does not even come close to addressing the complexities at work here, and it would be nice to see if Waid thought the pirating of work he's published through Marvel, DC, Boom, and other companies is a good thing, or at the very least nothing to be fought or worried over.
Waid obviously can't speak for Marvel and it's not his place to comment on the priating of marvel comics in any way. You want drama to be stirred where none exists.
-san diego
An interesting thing though sometimes Piracy can increase sales of comics, case in point Underground by Jeff Parker & Steve Lieber.
and the interview btw Warren Ellis and Steve Lieber
(Jeff Parker and Steve Lieber offered up Underground as free download, and Steve Lieber himself went on the 4chan boards, and by all accounts was civil & polite with them). So I;m kind of taking Mark Waid's position here on this one.
I think his point is 100,000 illegal downloads does not come even remotely close to equaling 100,000 sales you would've gotten if there was no piracy. Most people willing to take an objective look at piracy agree that the VAST majority of illegal downloads come from people who never would've made the purchase in the first place. Sure, you can argue then they shouldn't get to read the comic (a completely fair point), but that still doesn't mean it equates to a lost sale.
Most publishers refuse to accept that as truth. People who are zero-tolerance anti-piracy would say removing illegal downloads would add significant sales, even if not equaling the number of illegal downloads. Pro-piracy advocates say it adds to sales by exposing readers to books they wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to, leading them to purchase said book in one form or another.
The truth is surely somewhere in the middle.
IMO, it's nothing to waste time fighting over because it's going to happen regardless, so make it work for you instead of grumbling that it works against you.
I will add this as a clarity disclaimer: the industry isn't "unaffected" by piracy (that was a hurried choice of a word), but neither is it the boogeyman upon which we can blame sliding sales. My points were, and remain, that you can't wish piracy away and that no one can prove that every or even most downloads equal lost sales.
I used to illegally download comics to check out the first issue of a series and whether or not I'd bother purchasing the title full time. As a result I'd end up buying a lot of Dynamite titles and also got into the Walking Dead after I checked out issue 65 online. Then I bought the backlist and have been purchasing it ever since.
I haven't done this for years because of the simple reason that 90% of comics are released in the library as tradepaperbacks on a regular basis. I agree with Waid. Most illegal downloaders will buy a comic if they like it, and most peruse titles with no intention of continuing to read them or buy them. I don't think there's much loss of revenue there.
i'm always amused by how many people leap to defend the profit margins of multinational corporations when those same corporations would not do the same for them.
Mark is right. Embrace Reality or fight against it. Doesn't matter. Reality always wins.
I've never pirated a comic book but the very notion that the practice can be stopped is just silly. Embrace the paradigm shift or be crushed by it.
apoehler: Saying I want drama to be stirred is a quick and easy way to sidestep my points.
And I agree piracy happens regardless, and making it work for Thrillbent.com is a great idea, but again, that content is absolutely free for the consumer already, so the piracy in that case is not the same as someone downloading a scan of the newest Daredevil issue, rather than buying it from their comic shop. This doesn't address whether Mark Waid (because there's no way for me to confirm that comment is in fact the real Mark Waid) feels it's beneficial, or even just slightly annoying, for copies of Daredevil to be downloaded illegally.
Yes, Mark Waid is not the marketing or sales representative for Disney, and is not in charge of digital initiatives or battles against piracy for the corporations employing him. He is, however, one of the most visible names in the industry who is saying piracy does not equal the loss of sales, then using his own website which distributes free content as a demonstration of how piracy can be used to benefit creators. Thrillbent is not losing comic sales because it is not offering comic sales. The piracy of content that is actually for sale is what's in question here.
I agree that it may bring in business. I only ever pirate downloaded one comic and it was the complete series of Preacher. Within 5 or 6 issues I realized it's awesome and since reading on a computer is annoying I went out and bought the whole run in trades and then later sold them and bought the hardcovers.
Pirating will never stop but at least it's a way for some people to try new things they wouldn't normally try and then make a buying decision.
If I paid for every comic I download I would be in the hole at least $100 a week.
If I HAD to pay for comics I would spent two thirds of jack shit a year buying one or two TPBs because I am that poor.
Why is it the consumer's fault for keeping up with the times. Tough titty but supporting a comic shop these days is the same as preferring a horse and buggy to a car.
Doctor Bong: Your sense of entitlement doesn't not supersede the law. You're stealing, plain and simple, regardless of the justification. One day you'll grow up and see that.
Tyler: Sorry, but that's just plain idiotic. So pirating comics is a smarter idea than supporting a small business? A small business that sells collectibles, comics, cards, etc — entertainment. Does this ridiculous POV extend to all small businesses that aren't tech oriented.
Mark Waid is correct in his statement, but the ridiculous justifications above make me hope that this generation grows in to mature, responsible adults. Fingers crossed.
Tyler: How is paying for things that dont belong to you an outdated notion? Thats about the dumbest thing i've ever read….
Anything that gets more people reading comics is a good thing. Even piracy. Right now we have a system where digital comics cost the same as ones that have to be printed on paper and driven to shops using gas. So the current amount charged online is fixed as a favour to old school stores. I have more of a problem with that than people downloading some comics for free.
My bad, I didn't know online ad revenue was such a foreign concept to people. I know I didn't completely explain myself but how do you think sites like, Google, Facebook, and more than likely this Thrillbent pay for themselves or make any money? They get a page view that other companies value through ad-space. Pretty simple stuff.
Jon Snow: I'm familiar with comic book shops and I was addressing comics. Almost any other nerd commodity can(collectibles, cards, specialty board games, miniatures, etc.) are far easier to get through the internet these days. I've seen this shift from my six years of comic/card shops. The times have been changing and although it would be nice to always have a physical copy of a comic, it just isn't that feasible anymore. It's easier to pirate for free and you'll probably see more and more comics get this Thrillbent treatment. What would be the best strategy for someone like Marvel? Suing everyone? Refusing to change and lose your money? Actually try to compete with the best option?
stenchburg: Because change in the industry isn't facilitated by supporting an outdated distribution system.
"I will go to my grave not buying the baloney that every pirated comic was a lost sale." I will go to my grave not buying the baloney that most creators and publishers are making that argument.
I read that statistically speaking, the majority of downloaders buy considerably more media (Music/Movies/Games/Books/Comics) than the average non-downloader, so I think that it is more a matter of paying for as much as you can afford, and downloading the rest as well as what is not easily available. Thus, when there is no net loss of profit there is nothing immoral about downloading, it is just an extra bonus audience for the product.
What I can say for myself personally is that my overall consumption of comics skyrocketed once I discovered pirated comics. For an industry that depends so much on continuity-heavy superhero comics, it is almost an absurd demand on newcomers to pay for every single comic they need to feel comfortable with the new product.
There is less of an argument to be made for pirating creator-owned comics (which, I'm not going to lie, were among the first series I downloaded– The Invisibles, Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Strangers in Paradise), but then it can also be instrumental to building creator loyalty. Nothing you could have told me about Garth Ennis's work would have made me want to read it until I did. Neil Gaiman likes to do a thing when asked about piracy– he asks how many people discovered their favorite novel or author by picking it up randomly in a bookstore, and how many people made that discovery by being lent the book (either by a friend or library). The number of hands that go up for the latter vastly outnumbers those for the former. He also says he sees his sales go up in any area where there's an upswing of piracy of his work.
I know that's easy for the Neil Gaimans (and even the Warren Ellises and Mark Waids) to say, but if your creator-centric argument against piracy is "what if they're not good enough to get that kind of loyalty?" then you really need to ask yourself why you're going to bat for them in the first place. If their work is decent enough to be read but not purchased, then the free market would have put them out of comics eventually. All piracy does is speed up the process. (And even that's not necessarily the end– the last novelist I read whose books I was happy to read but can't imagine paying cover price for was Ian Fleming.)
Can't say as I care for any of Thrillbent's offerings enough to pay for them. So, whatever.
@Hideous Energy: "Waid has said something similar before, and like then he again doesn't mention whether he views the illegal downloading of his Marvel work as an inevitability that they should embrace."
Erm, I don't know what quote you read but I think it's pretty damn strongly implied what he thinks of piracy in general.
@jon Snow: Copyright infringement is illegal, but no, it is not in fact "stealing, plain and simple". If you want people to take your point of view seriously, consider ditching the hyperbole, familiarizing yourself with how copyright law actually works, and having an honest debate. Capitalizing your own handle properly would probably help too.
@Tyler: If you want to talk about what the best business strategy is for Marvel, it's getting out of comics entirely and focusing on its film franchises. Is that what you really want?
The comparison to Google is cute. Notice how very few companies have managed to make Google's business strategy work?
And speaking of that business strategy? Google's making its money by spying on everything you do and monetizing your private information. You know how they manage to give you so many services for free? Because you're not their customer, you're their product.
You, too, are claiming a complex issue is simple. Saying it is doesn't make it so.
But you know what IS a simple fact? DRM does not prevent piracy. And, speaking from a simple technical perspective, it never will (with the possible exception of video games where the entire binary blob is run on a remote server and the end user only uses a dumb terminal that accepts input, sends it to the server, and then receives streaming video from the server — but any form of static/passive media, or any form of interactive media that copies itself to local storage or memory, can be copied and propagated, by its very nature).
The implications of this are more complex — DRM doesn't stop piracy but it IS a good way to lock publishers into a single distribution platform, as the likes of iTunes have shown us. Why do you suppose Image has announced it will be releasing its books DRM-free? It's not just because they realized The Walking Dead is still making plenty of money even though it's widely pirated (though that of course is part of it); I think it's reasonable to assume the Comixology/Saga snafu a few months ago hammered home the drawbacks of relying on a single distributor.
Meanwhile, remember when all those free Marvel #1's brought down Comixology? That's stupid and unnecessary and throws the problems brought by DRM into sharp relief.
To wit: why in the FUCK would you copy-protect something you're giving away for free in the FIRST place? That is STUPID.
I get that it was a joint deal with Comixology, and Comixology wanted to get people interested in their service. Did that succeed? Well, I haven't seen their internals, but I'm guessing that no, having their server down for several days was not a great moment in advertising the quality of their service, and instead pissed off the customers they already had while failing to bring in the new ones who wanted free comics but couldn't get them.
You know what they should have done? Put all the free #1's out as CBZ files, stuck an ad for Comixology in at the end of each one, and put the whole thing out as a torrent. You know what the nice thing about BitTorrent is? Greater demand means BETTER download speeds, not worse like in the client-server model.
But the decision-makers at the major publishers aren't interested in BitTorrent's strengths or weaknesses as a technology; all they know is it's used for piracy and they don't want to support it. Which is foolish. BitTorrent is a transmission protocol; it doesn't care whether the ones and zeroes transmitted through it infringe somebody's copyright or not. It can be used for legal purposes or illegal ones, same as any other means of transmission, be that Usenet, HTTP, FTP, E-Mail, scanners, cameras, photocopiers, CD burners, DVD burners, hard drives, RAM, video cables, pencils, or crayons.
Anyhow, speaking for myself, I think Thrillbent is great and Waid is doing wonderful work (both creatively and in terms of technology). I continue to prefer to read comics at full size and printed on paper, but there's room for Thrillbent in my library too and I'm glad it's out there. And I also know I'm not representative of the public at large, that there ARE people who'd rather buy digital comics than paper ones, and I think Waid's helping chart a course for the right way of doing it. And the data I've seen also suggest that the increasing demand for digital comics has actually helped bring MORE people into comic shops, not fewer as people have often assumed. I sincerely hope that's true, because I love my local comic shop.

Early References to Black and Asian Religious Groups in Birmingham
NEW ! You can now find more information and images of religion in the West Midlands on the Connecting Histories website and information about Rev. Peter Stanford.
Early References to Black Religious Groups
Religion appears to play an essential part in the lives of Black people in Birmingham. One firm example of this is the presence of a number of mosques throughout the city. On a Sunday it is also possible to observe members of the Black community clad in their best apparel, Bible in hand, usually an indication of church attendance.
The picture is of Guru Nanak Gurdwara.
The First Black Minister in Birmingham
The Rev. Peter Stanford was the first Black documented minister in Birmingham. He became pastor of the Baptist Church, Hope Street, Birmingham in 1889. He remained at the church until 1890. He eventually established his own Wilberforce Memorial Church on Priestley Road in Sparkbrook.
The First Asian Places of Worship in Birmingham
In 1941 the first mosque was established to serve the Yemeni community and the first Sikh Gurdwara in Smethwick opened in 1962. Presently there are about 80 mosques located in the city.
The Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Smethwick is named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first guru, or teacher, of the Sikh religion. The Gurdwara is the second oldest Sikh temple in Britain. It is the centre of worship for Sikhs in Birmingham and is open 24 hours a day. Members of the community provide food for the langer or free kitchen. Everyone is welcome to attend regardless of their status or background and people sit on the floor as an expression of equality. Though primarily a religious institution, the Gurdwara also acts as a centre for community activities. Facilities include a library, legal advice and a police surgery, karate lessons for the young and Punjabi classes
Religious Groups in Birmingham
Sikhism in Birmingham
There was a Sikh presence in Birmingham before the Second World War. However, many more arrived in the post War era. Presently there are about 40,000 Sikhs in Birmingham.
The Council of Sikh Gurdwaras in Birmingham was established in 1989. One of the main reasons for its establishment was to create a link between the Sikh community in the City and Birmingham City Council. Presently it acts as a representative structure for 13 Gurdwaras in the City and is instrumental in promoting activities within the Sikh community.
One of the major events organised by the Council of Sikh Gurdwaras is Vaisakhi. Vaisakhi originated in a harvest festival and marked the birth of Khasla. In 1999 Birmingham hosted a major Vaisakhi celebration which was also a celebration of 300 years of the Sikh religion. Around 120 000 persons from Birmingham and the wider world attended the event which was addressed by the Prime Minister ,Tony Blair. It is reported that this was the largest event of its kind to be held outside the Punjab.
A major Sikh conference was held in 1993. Through this conference the need was seen to tackle issues concerning local Sikhs. Some of the areas that were eventually addressed included education, economic development, women, leisure and recreation, advice and information and community care. Organisations such as the Sikh Women's Forum and youth groups have been established as well as a helpline. The Sikh Council has also secured money from the lottery to assist in healthcare projects. (Birmingham Post - Millennibrum Supplement Wednesday November 1, 2000).

Jalal Uddin
One of the significant personalities in the Islamic community in Birmingham is Jalal Uddin. He was born a British subject and came to Birmingham in 1957 to pursue educational studies. At that time there were very few places of worship which catered for Muslims. The only mosques in existence were the ones which served the Yemeni and Pakistani communities.
Jalal was instrumental in trying to remove the regulations that limited the opening times of these mosques. Being a Bengali speaker he was able to campaign for the rights of Bangladeshis. Through his influence the Bengali community was finally able to secure its own place of worship in the 1960s. The building was initially a dwelling house in Aston and became the Masjid-E-Noor mosque. Jalal served as the president of this mosque from 1974 for nineteen years (Millennibrum Supplement Wednesday December 27, 2000).
Sunni, Shi'a and Sufi Muslims in Birmingham
Explanation of these different groups
The minutes of the Parks Committee July 6, 1942 and interleaved report 8 reveal that a Mrs Mary Amirullah who was acting on behalf of the Muslim community present in Birmingham applied for a Muslim burial ground. In 1942 part of the Lodge Hill Cemetery in Selly Oak was provided for that purpose. Until then the only burial grounds for Muslims were located in London and Cardiff. An extension of the Selly Oak burial facility was applied for in 1956, by the Pakistani Welfare Association. Around that time it was estimated that the Muslim community numbered about 1500 persons.
The Diwali Festival in Birmingham
Diwali means a row or cluster of lights. It honours the goddess Lakshmi and is the festival leading to Besta Varsh, the Hindu New Year. Diwali is a culmination of a number of festivals in September and October commencing with Navrati when Hindus fast and pray for health and prosperity.
Religious rituals, music and dances take place within Mandirs (Hindu Temples), community venues and homes. In Diwali children are given gifts, colourful designs are made and firework displays are organised.
Photographs of Diwali celebrations taken by Sangeeta Redgrave on 2000 as part of the Millennibrum Project According to Sangeeta: "The images represent a variety of communal activities held within the Laxmi Nararyan Mandir and the adjoining community hall."

Ahmadiyya Muslim Association in Birmingham
Explanation of this group
Matiullah Dard was a founder member of the Birmingham Ahmadiyya Muslim Association that was formed thirty-six years ago. He established an advice bureau where people could attend to seek advice. In 1913 his uncle Hadhrat Choudhary F M Sayyal visited England as the first Muslim Ahmadiyya Missionary. Another uncle came in 1924 to attend an important religious conference and accompanied the Calif as his secretary. They played a significant role in building the first mosque in Putney, England ( Millennibrum Supplement - Evening Mail, Monday December 4, 2000).
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Association has established itself in a listed building in the old Tilton Road School in Bordesley Green. They have converted this building into a mosque and community centre. (Millennibrum Supplement - Evening Mail, Monday December 4, 2000).
Church Life for Post War West Indian Immigrants
Many of the immigrants from the Caribbean brought their belief in the worship of the creator God with them. However, they soon discovered that church in Birmingham was not exactly like church in the "West Indies." The immigrants also experienced an attitude of unacceptance when they attended some of the English churches. Such factors contributed to the establishment of Black led churches in Birmingham. It is claimed that these churches attract large numbers of people. There is also a Council of Black-led Churches in the city. Some of the Black-led churches include The New Testament Church of God, United Church of God, Wesleyan Holiness and Church of God of Prophecy.
The photograph here is of one of the Black-led churches in Birmingham - The New Testament Church of God, Lozells Road (Birmingham Central Library).
Home from Home
It appears as if the Black-led churches were very instrumental in helping the immigrants from the West Indies to settle into their new living environment. According to the book Faith in the City: "The only group of people who really attempted and succeeded in meeting the needs of newcomers (i.e. the immigrants from the West Indies) in any meaningful way were the Black-led Churches." (Faith in the City 1988 p. 26).
Although many of the indigenous churches may not have been very accommodating towards the Black immigrants some did attempt to cater for these individuals. During the 1960s the Small Heath Baptist Church had an Afro-Caribbean minister. In the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches West Indian and Asian Chaplaincies were also established during this period (Faith in the City 1988).
In their own words
The following is an oral account of a lady who migrated to England in the 1960s from St Kitts:
"In the early 1960s, one of our brothers from the Caribbean said 'gather together the members of our church that we left back home to keep them together as a flock.' So he and my husband sat down and planned our church. People who were around in the area found a place to hire and we formed our own group. The name of the church was the Pilgrim Holiness Church. It's now the Wesleyan Holiness Church. I found out that as immigrants we seem to be more serious about serving the Lord than our brethren in this country. I don't know if it's because of our upbringing but when it comes to serving the Lord things that other Christians would make light of, to us would be like desecration."
(This oral account was originally part of a Millennibrum Supplement in the Evening Mail, Monday December 4, 2000 p 30).
The following two extracts are taken from the book Black in Birmingham:
"On my first Sunday in Birmingham my friends and I, we put on our best suits and went to the church. But after the service the vicar told us not to come again. His congregation wouldn't like it he said."
(Black in Birmingham 1987 p 71)
"I went to church. After the service I shook hands with the vicar and gave him the letter of recommendation from my parish priest at home. We chatted for a while. When I came back the next Sunday he completely ignored me, and never spoke to me again. I stopped soon after." (Black in Birmingham 1987 p 71).
Research conducted by a team of sociologists over a one year period during the 1960s supports statements made by these immigrants. The team which was led by Robert Moore from Durham University carried out its investigations mainly in churches located in the "twilight" area of the city and reported the following findings:
*That some people leave church life when a vicar encourages immigrant membership and accuse him of "selling out on us."
*That Seventh Day Adventists lose white members when West Indians move in.
*In one narrow sense, religion provides a way in which people can "collectively hate one another."
*A Methodist Church helps "potentially antagonistic" race groups to meet. (cited in Birmingham Post, October 4, 1965).
The report also stated that: "Coloured people are generally more church-minded than the English. They come from islands where church-going is a way of life. It is not a way of life in England for most people." (cited in Birmingham Post, October 4, 1965).
The First Seventh Day Baptist Church in Birmingham
The first Seventh-Day Baptist Church in Birmingham was established in 1964 by a Black immigrant from Jamaica. It's initial membership was comprised of individuals who came from various denominations. These persons were convinced about upholding the fourth commandment in the Bible which states 'Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.' (Millennibrum Supplement - Evening Mail, Monday December 4, 2000).

HOUSTON - Jerry Ippoliti faces two major obstacles in making the new Galleryfurniture.com Bowl a permanent addition to the college football landscape.
Those stumbling blocks, skeptics would say, are history and reason.
History tells Ippoliti that his event's little-watched predecessor, the Bluebonnet Bowl, scraped by for 29 years before folding in 1988 while still owing its final four participants almost $500,000 - money that has never been paid.
Reason tells Ippoliti that Houston, where the two-time world champion Rockets rank last in the NBA in attendance this season and baseball's Astros had trouble drawing fans until moving into new Enron Field, isn't much of a spectator sports town.
And it's an even worse locale for college football. Rice regularly plays in front of acres of empty seats, while the University of Houston drew an announced crowd of 3,000 - yes, 3,000 - for its home finale last month.
Ippoliti's response: So what?
"We're different," the game's smooth-talking, silver-haired president and chief executive officer said. "You just watch."
Yes, Ippoliti has decided that the sheer force of his will - not to mention the seemingly bottomless marketing coffers of campy Houston furniture magnate Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale - will make his event a historic success where others have failed, often miserably.
Never mind that Wednesday's 7 p.m. game at the aging Reliant Astrodome is one of 25 in a mind-numbingly long bowl schedule. Never mind that it matches 7-5 Texas Tech, which went 3-5 in the Big 12 and didn't beat a team with a winning record, against 7-4 East Carolina of Conference USA. Never mind that, as of Thursday, the game had sold fewer than 20,000 tickets.
While others scoff or scream even more loudly about bowl saturation, Ippoliti boldly talks of filling the Astrodome, breaking the attendance record for a first-year bowl and giving Houston a college football tradition.
"We're pulling for them, but we're being realistic, too," said Donnie Duncan, the Big 12's senior associate commissioner and director of football operations.
Getting the game certified by the NCAA for this season already qualifies as something of an upset for Ippoliti.
After all, the Bluebonnet Bowl's inability to meet its payout to Texas, Pittsburgh, Baylor and Colorado - the game's last four participants - is the reason the certification process is much stricter now and all bowls must show a line of credit beforehand.
Not only that, but even athletic directors and college commissioners admit the bowl schedule had gotten out of hand before the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl and the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose, Calif., were added this season. Applications from three other bowls were shelved, and a two-year moratorium reportedly is in the discussion stage.
Signs of saturation are everywhere. While the number of bowls is more than double what it was just 20 years ago, average bowl attendance last year was its lowest since 1987.
"It's time to stop," East Carolina athletic director Mike Hamrick said. "We're at the breaking point with the bowls. And when you hear that from an AD at a school where bowls are hard to come by, you know it's gotten out of hand."
Fortunately for the well-connected Ippoliti, former commissioner of the Mid-American and Mid-Continent conferences, he had enough clout and contacts to get his game in under the NCAA's wire. It didn't hurt that his Houston-based company, Bowl Series, Inc., had modest success in revitalizing the Las Vegas Bowl and creating the Motor City Bowl in Detroit and the Music City Bowl in Nashville.
Ippoliti's contacts also helped him lure the Big 12 as his lead tie-in, even though the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl is the conference's seventh bowl agreement and definitely last in the league's pecking order. Still, the Big 12 angle caught the attention of McIngvale, a longtime corporate sponsor of the Rockets and Astros whose kitschy "Save you money!" TV commercials are late-night legend in Houston.
Without both of those situations, Ippoliti admits, the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl would have never made it off the ground.
"We needed the Big 12's stature and Mr. McIngvale's money," Ippoliti said. "It's as simple as that."
While the arrival of McIngvale gave the game an unwieldy name and has even made it the butt of jokes - Tech fans alternately have dubbed it "The Wicker Bowl" and "The Sofa Bowl" - it also gave Ippoliti access to the furniture king's advertising pocketbook.
That, everyone involved agrees, has been the bowl's lifeblood. McIngvale has committed to spend roughly $500,000 on advertising and bowl merchandise in the first year alone. He even dispatched vans to Lubbock and East Carolina's campus in Greenville, S.C., two weeks ago to give away free Galleryfurniture.com Bowl T-shirts, hats and footballs.
"It works for me," McIngvale said. "I could care less what the bowl situation is everywhere else. All marketing is local, and Houston is football crazy."
Although the excitement level is high for the arrival of the NFL's expansion Texans in 2002, the Oilers left in 1997, and Houston and Rice have struggled for decades to attract interest. The Bluebonnet Bowl, meanwhile, is still a dirty word among college administrators.
"The Bluebonnet Bowl never had national television," Ippoliti said. "It never had a national sponsor or an agreement with the stadium. We have the ingredients to put this thing together where the Bluebonnet Bowl did not. It's two totally different worlds."
Ippoliti indeed has many of the ingredients his game's predecessor lacked. The Galleryfurniture.com Bowl, which moves into sparking Reliant Stadium when it opens in 2002, boasts numerous heavyweight sponsors, a five-year contract with Harris County and a three-year contract with ESPN, which will televise the game. The payout is $750,000 per team.
Ippoliti also claims to have a staff of 10 and 1,000 volunteers, compared to five full-time staffers and 400 volunteers for the storied Southwestern Bell Cotton Bowl Classic. All he says is needed now is at least 40,000 paying customers to break even.
Pardon the rest of the college football world if it tries to keep from snickering. That's especially true in light of the fact that, although Tech has sold almost its entire 9,000-ticket allotment, East Carolina probably won't sell more than half its seats and sales in the Houston area were fewer than 8,000 through Thursday. The slow sales even prompted a brief spat last week between Ippoliti and McIngvale, although MacIngvale now says the bowl's operators and chief sponsor are united.
"It's great for us as a conference to get exposure in Houston from a recruiting standpoint," the Big 12's Duncan said, "but we'll just have to see how it goes. It'll be interesting to see how this bowl develops."
The Big 12's tie-in with the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl is only for two years, and Duncan said the report from Tech on its experience in this year's game would be given serious attention by the rest of the league's athletic directors before the conference agrees to a contract extension.
Any skepticism, though, doesn't seem to worry Ippoliti in the least. Houston, he insists, has changed dramatically as a sports town in recent years, and the timing is right for college football in a town that to this point has never embraced it.
"All the ingredients are in place for this game to be an incredible success," he said. "I don't care what anyone says. We've got a very bright future. People years from now are going to be talking about our bowl."
Whether that's in the present tense or past tense remains to be seen.

Huntsviile -- Todd Sebek extended his hitting streak to 17 games (counting the NCAA regional finals game against Mississippi last June) with three hits, batting in three runs to lead Sam Houston State to a 10-9 victory over Central Arkansas in the Southland Conference opener for both teams Friday night at Don Sanders Stadium.
Sebek went 3-for-4 as Sam Houston State totaled 14 hits. The Bearkats upped their season record to 10-6 while UCA dropped to 7-9. The three-game SLC series continues Saturday at 2 p.m.
With two outs in the opening inning, Bobby Verbick tripled off the center field, then scored on an infield hit by Nick Zaleski. Daniel Nottebart singled to right field to move Zaleski to third base. Zaleski scored on an error on the right fielder's throw to third on the play, giving Sam Houston a 2-0 lead.
Sebek's first hit was a single up the middle to lead off the bottom of the third inning. Keith Stein was safe at first on an error and Verbick walked to load the bases. Zaleski singled in Sebek and Stein scored on a double play grounder by Nottebart to put SHSU up 4-0.
Josh Huffman singled in the fourth, then moved to third on a double down the left field line by Chris Davis. Ken Taylor walked to load the bases. Back-to-back doubles by Scott Clint and Jonathan Yerby tied the score 4-4. A walk and a ground out moved Yerby to third and the third baseman scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Payton Seelinger, Kevin Rawls singled in Houk to put Central Arkansas up 6-4 and end Bearkat's

Three walks and a hit batter gave Sam Houston State another run in the bottom of the seventh as Zaleski walked with the bases loaded to score Sebek.

Released: Jul 01st, 2002
Running Time: 103
Director: Jules Jordan
Company: Pleasure Productions
Cast: Gina Lynn, Travis Knight, Tae Lee, Dillion Day, Jules Jordan, Charmane Star, Kianna, August
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
The non-anal crowd.
Jules Jordan-lite, the anal-free New Breed 7 doesn't contain anything too blistering or hard-edged, going along instead at a mid-tempo, middle-of-the-road pace. Handsomely shot with a couple of real babes and some nice gooey facials, this workmanlike effort is sure to get your customers horny and may even get them off in spots. Shit, not every gonzo fan needs extreme gape, ya know.
Real Babe #1 is Gina Lynn, who in the opener fucks Jordan while sucking Travis Knight. Just as things are heating up, however, the scene ends with twin premature ejaculations. Lynn sure looks good though wearing both loads on her killer kisser.
Real Babe #2 is super-sultry Kianna, who in scene four gives off blast furnace-like heat just standing there in heels, sheers and leopard print bikini that showcases her luscious giant jugs. Her subsequent coupling with Jordan is decent enough, but almost an afterthought.
Another Asian, Charmane, is very cute and squeaky loud, but her pairing with Dillion Day doesn't really hit the boiling point. Neither do the two remaining couplings featuring the more modestly physically blessed August and Tae Lee.

See, that's what REAL PEOPLE eat! It just goes to show that George W. Bush is a real AMERICAN boy.
You can keep your croissants and continental cuisine. Give me some Coca-cola brined Pilgrim's Pride Turkey with donut stuffing.
Let them free base pig grease for all I care. I hope they all keel over. Or swell up like that blueberry juice girl in Willy Wonka.
I'm with stupid. And for desert we'll have deep fried coke.
Man, I read this as "White House Chief" - I thought you were talking about Andy Card. Well, I read about the jackassery this man was handed, too.
Aside from the repulsiveness of the food, the thing that strikes me is IT'S ALL BRAND NAMES. Don't they ever eat anything that's just from a farm or something?
Garbage in, garbage out.
When I worked in event planning, we would sometimes get requests to incorporate certain products for a company dinner, or something like that, but this is disgusting. Coca-Cola Brined Turkey with Donut Stuffing? Krispy Kreme with fake Chocolate Sauce? A TRIO OF SAFEWAY GREENS? WTF?
And don't even get me started on those wines, and the idea of serving BEER at a banquet, Let alone some some shitty A-B beer.
Yes, I'm a snob. That meal would make me puke. I can't imagine how a real chef could bring himself to prepare that menu, let alone cook it.
These meals would be fantastically appealing to an eight-year-old boy. In fact, they look like they were designed by an eight-year-old boy. Because ultimately that's what GWB is.
What a waste of perfectly good donuts.

Hi everyone!
Has anyone else run into this problem? I'm getting a "connection was reset" error when I or others try to login to the password protected pages on my WordPress site. This is a new issue -- the pages *were* working last week. All pages on their own work fine, but the actual login function is broken somehow and always returns that error.
Stuff I've already tried (with no effect on the issue):
-- tested on several browsers, devices and connections
-- tried deactivating all WP plugins and also did a plugin folder reset through FTP
-- tried switching WP themes to a basic Twenty Twelve
-- tried assigning PHP more memory through WP's method (wp-config) and through another method (.htaccess)
So, I'm out of ideas at this point -- has anyone else run into this??
Example of a page that's having issues (you can hit submit and see that it's fubared):
Thanks for your suggestions!

Vanessa Hudgens in Designer Jeans
Vanessa Hudgens in a Marissa Webb Alexina Chambray Maxi Skirt
Vanessa Hudgens was snapped while leaving her apartment to head to rehearsals for the play Gigi. Vanessa wore a long chambray maxi skirt from Marissa Webb with a cropped sweater and a leather jacket.
We've been seeing a lot of maxi skirts lately but we haven't seen too many in denim or chambray. I think they can be harder to style without looking too frumpy, but I think the cropped sweater and leather jacket give this a nice touch of edge. I'd love to see her style this in the summer with a simple tank and gladiator sandals.
Vanessa Hudgens in Big Star Jordan Overalls
Vanessa Hudgens and her sister Stella, were snapped while out and about in New York City. Vanessa was noticeably absent from Coachella this past weekend but she's busy at work on her play Gigi, on Broadway.
While out, Vanessa wore a pair of Big Star Jordan overalls with a cropped striped t shirt and rose gold sandals. I like that these have a really slouchy fit on her, but the crop shirt that she paired them with adds a little bit of skin. You can buy Big Star online from Nordstrom.com.
Vanessa Hudgens in One Tespoon Summer Blue Awesome Baggies
Photographed while out doing some shopping in New York City, Vanessa Hudgens wore her One Teaspoon Summer Blue Awesome Baggies with a white jacket, blazer, and black heels.
One Teaspoon always gets that perfectly relaxed and distressed style right but I also like how Vanessa paired these with more tailored pieces. The white shirt and blazer really crisp up the whole look. You can buy One Teaspoon online from Shopbop.com.
Vanessa Hudgens in One Teaspoon Bonita Shorts in Black
Vanessa Hudgens was all smiles as she walked the carpet at the Kick-Off National Wing Women Weekend held by Benefit Cosmetics in Los Angeles, California. The actress wore a pair of the One Teaspoon Bonita Shorts in Black with a camisole and her signature piles of jewelry.
This has to be one of my favorite looks of Vanessa's for its simplicity. I think the pieces fit her really well, especially the shorts. The amount of jewelry is also the perfect amount to keep the look feeling like her. What do you think of this outfit here?
