©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 42 CLICK-TO-CALL/DIAL Ability to initiate a telephony session from a hyperlink from a Web browser or desktop application Initiate calls from MS Outlook-like contact lists via click from a PC, PDA, mobile device Calls are routed via SIP to other IP communication end-points, or routed from the IP network to circuit-switched network devices via PSTN-IP gateways Enables addition of presence, availability and location data for higher value-add Can be embedded into Instant Messaging and other Web-based portal applications to "call-enable" existing applications Sample use cases: Web-based directory service Call sales/support reps directly from the corporate website Call sales/marketing reps from direct marketing e-mails
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 43 REAL-TIME VIDEO SHARING Peer-to-peer, real-time, multimedia video streaming service. Can be offered over full packet-switched networks, or as "combo" service, combining both circuit and packet switched networks. "Combinational" use case – Send video/pictures over packet network during a circuit-switched phone call. Enriches the end-user experience by exchanging pictures, video clips, or live video streams during a phone call. Operators can leverage PSTN infrastructure, investments, telephony performance, user familiarity, and expertise. Video content is delivered, and consumed, in near real-time, with marginal latency. Provides live end-user experiences of "being there" and "sharing the moment". Spirit of "Live" – Even when sharing stored video clips, "live- ness" is maintained since an on-going voice conversation is maintained.

©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 45 VOICE INSTANT MESSAGING Form of instant messaging, but instead of sending text, it's using audio files to send voice messaging. End-users can record voice messages instantly using applications in their phones, or use existing audio files stored on their devices. Like IM, voice messages can be sent to one or more recipients. Use-case scenarios Impulse Messaging – Spontaneous urge to be verbal Fast-n-Easy – Talking is faster and easier than typing in text using a phone/PDA keyboard Individualism – Voice communication is more natural, personal, and individualistic, including singing
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 46 VOICE-VIDEO TELEPHONY Enables users to add video to an existing voice call, depending on the multimedia capabilities of the other party's communication device SIP enables real-time, peer-to-peer, 1-1, and multiparty voice and video telephony over the IP network SIP-PSTN interoperability allows IP-based voice/video telephony sessions with circuit-switched video communication sessions
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 47 VIDEO CONFERENCING Enables real-time addition of other video call participants into an existing 1-1 video call session Extends point-to-point video calls to multi-point video sessions A video conference bridge links together multiple point-to- point video calls into a single video conference Video telephony connections are established from the end- point terminasl to the video conference bridge
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 48 MULTI-CHANNEL TELEVOTING Extends televoting systems to end-users using different access networks, e.g. fixed, wireless, IP, cable, etc. Allows existing televoting applications to tally votes from multiple voting mechanisms, such as IVR, SMS, WAP, MMS, etc. Voting application can incorporate location-based network data to provide real-time, region-specific, voting results
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. | 49 AUTO-INITIATED CONFERENCE CALLS Network initiates pre-scheduled conference call, based on the network availability presence data of each core participant for a scheduled conference call, and dials-in each user Application can leverage plug-ins to enterprise calendaring systems (MS Outlook), and Parlay X Web Services network interfaces Removes the end-user inconvenience of having to navigate through conference call announcement menus, and remembering meeting passwords Encourages increased usage of auto-conferencing services Provides Network Operators a branding opportunity on end-user desktops and devices

also see here for me….I belong to an old Norwegian aristocratic ROYAL family including Count Tolstoy (Leon Tolstoy, the famous Anarchist theorician inspired the Russian Revolution but at the same time was the scion of the Chernigov Princes – 11th cent. – by far the oldest Russian royalty), Henrik Ibsen, Papal and Royal Chamberlains, many Members of the Royal Household, (Mistresses of the Robe) barons and counts, ambassadors. All those who fail to heed heaven's voice (the lottery draw of 666 below) will be thrown into hell in the end times says the Bible. Well, heaven has spoken. On the day after Obama's election the lottery in his homestate drew 666. The 666 lottery-draw also reveals that Obama's Mark of 666 means his money. Check the lottery numbers in Obama's homestate here : the Pick 3 of Nov 5, 2008 was 666, less than 24 hours after Obama's election!! Because I'm alone in revealing the lottery draw of 666, the Mark of the Beast that everybody knows is the Antichrist, that makes me the Messiah and Jesus' Second Coming. Tibetan Tantric Buddhism is the highest form of culture in the world and I follow it's Kalachakra creed. Buddhism and Hinduism never carried out war like Christianity and Islam (That's the worst thing existing in the world.) I'm working on revealing myself and my message to the world fast now so the Apocalypse blows. My message of truth and that shows the way, must be revealed not only here at BIN (the only place in the world where speech is free), but worldwide! The lying Antichrist Camp is infesting my articles with trolling from such criminal orgs as "Organizing for Action" so don't follow anyone opposing me here!
It could be a rough week for this guy and his party–

Culture & Mental Health
The culture of an individual influences many aspects of mental health, mental illness, and patterns of health care utilization. One's spirituality and religion often shapes how individuals understand mental illness. Below you will find resources that provide the links between mental health and culture.
Mental Health: Culture, Race, and Ethnicity
Office of the Surgeon General (US); Center for Mental Health Services (US); National Institute of Mental Health (US).
Stigma-Busting Within the African American Community
As Miss International 2015 and a national ambassador for NAMI, I have spent the last year with a specific focus on breaking the stigma associated with mental health. I do this work not only because I am a psychotherapist, but also because certain individuals resist seeking help due to the labels that are associated with symptoms of mental health conditions. – See more at: https://www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/July-2016/Stigma-Busting-Within-the-African-American-Communi

Angelina SvanWell, during a break in school my very good friend Jesse asked me if I could draw a trolloc, I tried and this is what it became. He looks almost friendly and not that evil and fearsome that a trolloc should look like. But I think its pretty ok to be the first trolloc i ever drew. This pic is IRL owned by Jesse.

milknhoney Review
I ordered 2 of these chairs for an office. The chairs were perfect! Not too big for a seating area in a office, but big enough for the "boss" to fit into. (a large-ish man) He loves them. The colors were accurate and very pleasant. The seats are very firm, but they should last a good while.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good picture.. accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate description

Here's a Craigslist poster that's clearly not very happy with Barack Obama, who he says he voted for. Here is his posting ... with a couple of minor edits: What Obamacare did for me I thought it would be great, free health insurance, then I got a job. Boss says 28 hours a week is all they are offering now because over 30 requires insurance. Great, 30% pay cut right off the bat. But it gets better. My 28 hour week gives me about $18,000 a year which is too much for any government insurance. So now by law I have to buy my own ($5000) or pay a fine. I'm f***ed and every year the fine goes up. So what I thought was a sweet deal turned into an a** f***ing. Thanks Obama, I wonder how many people like me turn 27 and find out you screwed us? it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests Posting ID: 3575925425 Posted: 2013-01-27, 3:14PM PST -------------------------------- That's a shame. |

February's the time of year where people get even more obsessed about romantic love than usual. But even in the rest of the year, there's often a sense that romance is mandatory. The vast majority of books I read contain a romantic subplot for their lead, particularly if the protagonist happens to be female. With this post, I want to take a step back and look at some of the few science fiction and fantasy books I've found where romance isn't on the heroine's mind. Note, I am not up to date with all of these series, and some of them may add on romance later in.
no romance
Review of Of Sorrow and Such by Angela Slatter
Of Sorrow and Such by Angela Slatter. ★★★★
I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this novella by a new to me author, Angela Slatter. What I got was a beautiful if dark tale with a feminist heart. I most certainly need to read more by Angela Slatter.
Mistress Gideon is a witch, and her life in Edda's Meadow is tenuous at best in a world where witches are regularly killed. When a local and foolish shapeshifter gets herself caught, Gideon finds herself unwittingly involved. And as the authorities are roused to the existence of the supernatural in Edda's Meadow, Gideon's life gets more and more dangerous.
Review of Plain Kate by Erin Bow
Plain Kate by Erin Bow. ★★★★
I started Plain Kate thinking I'd be getting a fairly simplistic YA fantasy story. Instead this book ended up ripping my heart out and stomping on it!
Kate is the orphaned daughter of a woodcarver who exists on the scraps of money she makes from her carving and the town residents's good graces. But whenever Kate's homeland hits hard times, murmurings about witches begin. And eventually someone is burned. As the crops fail, Kate begins to be blamed. In an effort to escape she makes a deal with a shadowy man known as Linay. She sells her shadow in exchange for the goods she needs to escape, but as her shadow fades away, she'll look more and more like a witch.
Review of Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee
Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee. ★★★★
Trigger warning: rape
While it wasn't until the last fifth or so that I felt definitely that I'd want to read the next book, there was always something about Ninefox Gambit that I found compelling. I'd be thinking about how military science fiction must not be my thing and at the same time planning designs for fan art. I think the explanation lies in the imaginative world Lee's created and the nature of his principal characters.
Kel Cheris is a captain of the military division of the hexarchate, a totalitarian government of six divisions that is constantly putting down "heresies," rebellions. When Cheris herself uses heretical methods in battle, she is given a last chance to possibly redeem herself by devising a plan on how to recapture an important fortress overtaken by heresy. She proposes bringing the Hexarchate's greatest general out of storage. Shuos Jedao is a brilliant tactician who's never lost a battle, but before being turned immortal by the Hexarchate, he went mad and killed his own army as well as the enemy's. Yet, Shuos Jedao is entirely unpredictable, and Cheris and the troops she commands may be the next victims.
Review of Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace
Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace. ★★★★
In a way, Archivist Wasp reminds me of Mad Max: Fury Road. In a post apocalyptic world, Wasp is the Archivist, hunter of ghosts. She has to kill to keep her position or be killed herself. When she meets a ghost stronger than the rest, that of a dead solider, she sees a way out. The ghost is looking for the ghost of another solider, a woman named Foster. In returning for going down into the underworld, she may receive the key to her freedom. That is, if she's able to come back out.
Archivist Wasp is a short but striking novel. It's classified as YA and has a sixteen year old protagonist, but it feels nothing like most YA books. It avoids the normal tropes and is entirely without romance. Seriously, no romance at all. Not even between secondary characters. The most important relationships in the book are Wasp's tenuous friendship with the ghost, and the ghost's relationship with Foster, which is highly important but never depicted as romantic.
Review of Zero Sum Game by S.L. Huang
Zero Sum Game by S.L. Huang. ★★★1/2
Zero Sum Game is an action packed, speculative fiction thriller. Cas Russell knows there's something different about her abilities – she's very good at math, to the point where she sees the mathematics that underlie the everyday world. Thanks to this sixth sense, Cas can pull off amazing physical feats by almost instantaneously calculating the trajectory of bullets or the necessary angles and forces to win in a fight.
Cas Russell might have powers, but she's more a super-powered anti-heroine than a straight out superhero. People hire her to retrieve items for them, often illegally, and she has no compunctions about killing people she sees as a threat. In Zero Sum Game, Cas is hired to retrieve a woman from a drug gang and soon finds herself in the middle of something bigger.
Review of Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett. ★★★★★
Monstrous Regiment was the first book in the Discworld series I ever read. This stand alone Discworld novel got me hooked on the series and has been a beloved favorite of mine for many years.
Monstrous Regiment takes the classic trope of a girl disguising herself as a man to join the army and runs wild with it. The nation of Borogravia has been at war for as long as anyone can remember. The country is falling to pieces, but the army is still soldering on. Polly Perks' brother has disappeared into the war, and she's determined to find him and bring him home. To do so, she'll need to masquerade as Oliver "Ozzer," a disguise completed by a well placed pair of socks.

One of the most interesting and shocking changes these days is the new haircut of Anne Hathaway. For me it was really unexpectedly.
I know she did it for the new role in a film and I can't wait to see the result:) And what do you think about short haircuts for women?

In Going Solo, the world's favourite storyteller, Roald Dahl, tells of life as a fighter pilot in Africa. 'They did not think for one moment that they would find anything but a burnt-out fuselage and a charred skeleton, and they were astounded when they came upon my still-breathing body lying in the sand nearby.' In 1938 Roald Dahl was fresh out of school and bound for his first job in Africa, hoping to find adventure far from home.
However, he got far more excitement than he bargained for when the outbreak of the Second World War led him to join the RAF.
His account of his experiences in Africa, crashing a plane in the Western Desert, rescue and recovery from his horrific injuries in Alexandria, flying a Hurricane as Greece fell to the Germans, and many other daring deeds, recreates a world as bizarre and unnerving as any he wrote about in his fiction. 'Very nearly as grotesque as his fiction. The same compulsive blend of wide-eyed innocence and fascination with danger and horror' Evening Standard 'A non-stop demonstration of expert raconteurship' The New York Times Book Review Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults.
These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson.
Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.

A/N: I was watching the last night episode and I couldn't help but think about Peter Pan. So, this story is inspired by Jason Isaacs' Peter Pan and the scene where Tinkerbell comes and drinks Peter's poison.
I don't own Once Upon a Time, only what I written.
At the sound of the heart monitor flat lining, Emma's world simply shattered. She rushed over to Henry's bed and cradled his lifeless body in her arms. A large cry was rent from her. She started rocking her son back and forth all the while thinking how this couldn't be happening. How her son couldn't be dead. His too young! He still had so much more to live for! It should have been me in his place. I should have died.
Her mind went chaotic with repeating thoughts as her body rack heavily with great emotions. Never in her life had she felt such great anguished. She knew Regina was in the room, but she could have cared less because it was because of her that Henry was now dead. Her mind began to think on other things to take her anger out on. She blamed Regina and her psychotic tendencies. A part of Emma wanted to believe that Henry was right about Regina being the Evil Queen. At the same time she began to groan in pain as she wanted to blame Henry's belief in fairy tales and that stupid book of his. If he never came across that book then he would never had come after me. If he didn't come after me then he wouldn't have taken a bite of that turnover.
She cried even harder as she thought on what must have been going on through Henry's mind before he took a bit of the poison apple turnover. He always been weary of apples and it's because of his belief in magic and Regina being the Evil Queen. Due to his belief he took that blasted bite from the turnover and killed himself.
Emma had no idea what to believe anymore. She cried harder still as she replayed the final living moments she had with Henry. I should have eaten the poisoned pastry. I didn't believe Regina would stoop so low. I didn't believe something would happen to Henry, but he knew. I thought he was being ridiculous with the notion that something would happen to me if I ate it. I didn't believe. If only had believed then none of this would have happened.
I'm sorry. "I'm sorry, Henry," she quietly whispered into his ear.
"I'm so sorry," she said again bit a little bit louder so the sound of it could be heard. She gently laid Henry back on the bed, but held one of his hands as she kept her head near his. "I do believe in magic," she whispered in uncertainty. She felt like a fool in saying it, but she wanted to find some ways to make amends for her foolishness in not trusting Henry.
"I do believe in magic," she said again but a little louder. She felt a drive in her to say those words until she meant them in hopes to atone for her disbelief. "I do believe in magic."
"What are you saying?" asked Regina from behind her in voice that was mingled in her own grief and pain.
Emma ignored her and said yet again, but louder still, "I do believe in magic. I do. I do." And she wanted to believe in magic if it meant that she could fulfill her son's greatest desire in breaking the curse. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
Out in the parking lot of the hospital, lightning split in the sky and struck the base of the tree that the mayor's car was under. Within moments the car was caved in by the weight of half of the tree.
"I do believe in magic. I do. I do," Emma repeated as her voice started to hold more conviction as she willed herself in dashing away her disbelief and as she started to relive the many memories she had made when she had first came to Storybrooke. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
Standing behind a counter looking a little forlorn stood Ruby. Not so far away from her was Granny, who was looking over her books. Ruby wasn't paying any attention to her as her solemn thoughts strayed over to Emma and Henry. As she grieved for her lemur, her ears perked up when she heard a mumble coming from Granny's direction. She looked over to her and took note at how the woman looked like she was in some sort of trance. Another moment more she realized what the older woman was saying. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
Ruby repeated the line in her head once, before repeating it out loud to make sure she heard right. Upon repeating it, she couldn't help but feel how right it felt. Pretty soon she couldn't help and couldn't stop saying how she too believed in magic.
Back at the hospital, Emma back away from Henry for a moment to take in his features. She couldn't help but take in how much he was a good mixture of both her and his father. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do." He lips brushed his forehead.
"Why do you keep on repeating that phrase?" asked Regina, who didn't know if she should grieve still or be angry.
Sitting on a park bench reading a book while her father and brother were playing catch, Ava felt this sudden urge to look up. When she did, she noticed how her brother was standing stock still as a stature. Down by his side was a baseball he had failed to catch. In wonderment like her father, she approached her sibling. As she neared him, she noticed how his lips were moving, but she couldn't quite catch what he was saying until she was right on top of him. Both she and her father looked at each other questioning for moment before saying in unison, "'I do believe in magic. I do. I do?'" Even though they questioned why Nicholas was saying what he was saying, they both felt the rightness of his statement. Soon they found themselves repeating his chant.
Emma still sat with Henry as she held his small hands in hers and kissed their palms, "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
Leroy held the cold handle to his mug of beer thinking about his friend and crush Astrid the nun. He was still trying to fix up his boat so he could give out boat rides to the nuns. He wanted to do something fun for them, but only as an excuse to spent time with Astrid. As he contemplated what he must do to the ship while simultaneously thinking about the way Astrid smiled, he heard a grumble to his right. When he looked over, he was not so surprise to see Sydney with a glass of his own in his hand.
"Yo, what are you going on about, sister?" He smirked at that since he called everyone sister.
However, his smirk faded as he realized that Sydney has not taken any defense to Leroy's comment as Mr. Grumps-a-lot thought he would. Confused, he leaned in closer and heard, "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
"I'm glad you believe in magic. I do, but…" he was going to add an insult, but found his thoughts and words failed him as something struck him, "You know sister, I too do believe in magic. I do. I do."
With a said small smile, Emma put Henry's hand over her heart. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do." Not only did she feel like she had to convince herself into believing in something she had hard time into believing, but also Henry as well. She didn't know if she believed in a afterlife, but if there is one, she hoped that Henry would be able to hear her and realize how sorry she was.
In the pawn shop, Jefferson sat with Mr. Gold in a game of chess. They both felt familiar tingles in their fingers. They looked up from their chess pieces and sported sparks in their eyes along with a half smiles of delight. "You know, I do believe in magic. I do. I do," Jefferson said as he moved his knight forward.
Mr. Gold's smile grew even more as he moved his bishop. "Oh, I most certainly believe in magic," he said in a creepy matter that he has not used in some time, "I do. I do."
Emma for the likes of her could not understand as the full purpose of why she kept repeating it, but she felt the need to. She felt the need to say it, to declare it, to believe that it is true. She knew Henry was not the only one who believed in magic. August also believed even though he's a full grown man. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
Across the town and in his father's shop, August felt an electric pulse through the air. A smile formed on his face as the stiffness of his left arm gave away to a certain relief. He felt that whatever magic that was either being used on him or taken away has been stilled. He felt hope light up in him when he started hearing his father say, "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
August smiled, "I too papa. I believe in magic too. I do. I do." He had no qualms of calling his father papa, since the old man was in some sort of trance. So, to be able to call him papa aloud with the man himself caused August a bit of glee.
Emma leaned down one more time to kiss Henry's brow, before standing up and looking over at Regina, one of causes of this mess she was in now. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
Standing outside on the street near Mary Margaret's apartment was the woman herself with David. They were both clad in a jacket and looked up in the sky which looked as if it were threatening to rain. Before that, Mary Margaret came out of her apartment in hopes of running to the hospital. She had felt the desire that the hospital was the place where she needed to be at the moment. When she came outside, she was immediately aware of David's on coming presence. They started talking about what had happened with Henry and urgency of getting to the hospital to be there for Emma.
As they stood talking, Mary Margaret felt a tug at her heart as if something she held dear had been ripped from her. Her pain filled eyes looked towards David, who also looked as if he was in pain. "David, are you okay?" she asked worried.
"I should be asking you that," he retorted as best as possible.
Mary wanted to smile at that jest, but she couldn't, "I don't know if I'm fine."
"Neither do I, but…" he trailed off as lost in thought. "I know this might sound crazy Mary, but… I do believe in magic."
"You do?"
"I do."
Again Mary Margaret wanted to smile, but couldn't instead she looked towards the heavens and sighed with a single tear running down her cheek, "I believe in magic too."
"You do," asked David.
"I do."
Back at the hospital, Emma walked over to Regina and grabbed hold of the brunette's shoulders. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do." By touching the older woman alone, Emma felt something like instant courage or something. She couldn't put her finger on it, but whatever the case maybe, she liked it. And small smile worked its way onto her face. "I do believe in magic," she said with more conviction in her voice and quite oblivious to what was going on around besides Henry on the bed and Regina looking at if she were half crazed.
If she were paying closer attention, she would have heard the echoes of her statement throughout the hospital. She would have heard the voices of Dr. Whale and Kathryn. Of course, the echoes of the hospital didn't end with them, no. The tail end of the echoes lies beneath with Belle in her chamber in the mental ward.
However, Emma didn't pay this any mind. On the other hand, Regina did and that's why she was half crazed. She looked at if she was standing in the presence of her mother and was about to be punished for her insolence. A part of her couldn't understand how Emma was doing what she was doing, but she feared its meaning. She didn't want to hear Emma any more. She didn't want Emma to believe in magic, because she knew magic was real and she hated it. She had when she was a child. She had when her mother took Daniel's heart away. She hated how she clung on to magic for a quick fix. She hated how magic became her ruin as she looked on the form of her son.
"I do believe in magic. I do. I do." She heard Emma say over and over again. Each time more vibrate then the last. She hated it. She hated how Emma's eyes were searching hers as if asking for you to confirm her suspicions. No, they weren't asking; they were demanding her to comply. Slowly, Regina felt how her resentence towards Emma's demands were futile.
She didn't want to say anything, but she felt a force compel her speak. Before she could stop herself from saying anything else, she bowed her head in submission. "I do believe in magic. I do. I do."
At the sound of her admittance, there came a faint beep from behind Emma. Then another following that. Both women turned around and watched the heart monitor pick up speed. They both rushed over to the boy, whose chest was raising and falling. At that time, both of them knew things with the boy would turn out alright. Emma felt happy for a second, but looking back up at Regina, she scowled.
Regina caught her eye, "Yes?"
Emma pulled her glare away and gently looked again at her only living son, "You'll live to see at least another day."
A/N: It's not my best work, but hey, I tried.

INSURANCE: We strongly encourage purchasing Divers Alert Network Travel Insurance. They off competitive rates, and your money goes to a fantastic program. Most divers-in-the-know also have DAN Dive Accident Insurance. Which requires an Membership. Family Membership is $55 annually, or $25 for Individual Membership. We have the Preferred level, but you could go Standard, which costs $30 per person. If you have the opportunity to use my referral number, we get points: 1403373. DAN has helped many of our guests (including ourselves) recoup money for medical expenses and lost dives (from ear infections, etc); unfortunately, we have also seen a few divers need helicopter rides to a decompression chamber. The thought is that insurance gives you the ability to listen to symptoms which otherwise you might ignore.

According to the Italian news agency, ANSA, Cardinal Bertone thinks the informal conversations between the Vatican and China will continue, "but the road to arriving at diplomatic relations is not nearby" and the controversial ordination is "an act that slows down and does not encourage good relations."
Yesterday, the Holy See's press office issued a communiqué stating, Pope Benedict XVI has received with "deep sadness" the news of the ordination of Chinese priest Juan Wang Renlei without Papal mandate.
Last Thursday, November 30th, the 36-year-old priest was consecrated bishop of the Diocese of Xuzhou, a province of Jiangsu, in mainland China, under the pressures of the Office of Religious Matters and of the Patriotic Catholic Association, which obeys the guidelines of the Chinese communist government and he does not recognize the authority of the Holy See.
"The Holy Father learned the news with great sadness, because this episcopal ordination was conferred without the pontifical mandate, in other words without respecting the discipline of the Catholic Church concerning the appointment of bishops," states the text of the communiqué.
Wang Renlei is the third bishop this year who was consecrated without the approval of the Holy See. Last April, Beijing approved the ordination of Joseph Ma Yinglin as the bishop of Yunnan and in May, Liu Xinhong as bishop of Anhui, both decisions are considered by the Vatican "illegitimate" and "a serious violation to religious freedom."

I am debating between DIY and store bought. DIY works out about 40-50% the cost of a similar store bought but driver availability in India is poor. Compare the $600 W15CY-Neo 3 or Tony Gee's HATT SE (W12CY+T27) combo to the $1000 Monitor GX 50, KEF R300 etc.. you save about 40% in DIY. Quote:
Ribbons have a nice airy feel to the treble but they are more fragile than typcial dome tweeters. Hence you need a steep XO (24db LR is usually recomended) and spare ribbons (not the whole tweeter just the ribbon itself as that is what gets damaged. Most popular ribbons like the Aurum Cantus or Fountek have foils that are easily replaced). Speakers - Ribbons To understand crossovers start with this Crossover cookbook. I like the way Weems and Dickanson explain things. The Crossover Design Cookbook here is a Weems link (not the whole book). David weems speaker - free download - (5 files)

The loudspeakers spatial rendition is hugely important and underrated (especially when reproducing a natural acoustic) as is tonal realism, the final Speaker voicing. A speaker should disappear from the ear and reproduce a believable phantom image not just left to right stereo and detail. You realise this when you hear spatial rendition done well, the speaker gets out of the way of the music. I have heard plenty of large systems with great driver clarity and impressive dynamics only to fall down in these important areas. My point is driver technology is only a part of the battle. I have heard highly expensive speakers 3 and 4 way designs many times the price of Pluto that are not fit to lick its boots even if they can play much louder. Navin, In the UK the GX50 is 2.5 times the price of Q100, not inconsiderable but certainly worth it. I think this design is preferable to its big brother. Probably better to marry a ribbon to the smallest bass mid you can get away with, better still a smaller dedicated midrange in a three way system like the GX200 speaker uses. The GX cabinets are very well made, for most people it would be extremely hard to produce this quality easily with DIY, at least affordably. Last edited by rob g; 17th November 2011 at 08:44 PM. |

It sounds like Troels knows what to look for:
"Hand clapping (applause) from an audience on live recordings is a powerful tool for evaluating driver integration and treble quality, and this speaker excels over any other speaker I have made, and based on experience I know this is mostly due to the planar tweeter." I think this one is well worth considering: AT-SW |

I actually ordered the seas 4 and 7 inch drivers (10 of each today). I'm working on obtaining the tweeters and soon I will start on the crossover.

How reliable are ribbons anyways?

The AT SW is a planar device, different again.
Ribbon reliability? Shouldn't have any problems unless you are a really volume nutter, you know the type who likes to show off the greatness of his system by playing it too loud. |

10 drivers eh, not messing about then.
I hope you enjoy your project, they look like nice speakers. I guess a ribbon may be more easily/quickly damaged by a fault on an amplifier or incorrect hook up. Domes survive more abuse, or so i'm told. |

Thanks for all the help, I'm getting a quote on tweeters this morning. And I still need to find/order all the crossover parts.

I bought the tweeters today. It seems that I have alot of questions on which crossover parts to order. Digi-key has alot of different caps. How do I know which type to order? Aluminum,Ceramic,Film,Mica and PTFE,Niobium Oxide,Supercaps, Ultracaps, Electric Double Layer,Tantalum,Thin Film,Trimmers I would really like to stick with high quality components where it makes sense. |

In the blind testing I had between a Multicap and Solen cap (5uf series cap for the tweeter section) there was no evidence that one was better than the other. Quote:
Actually, rob, a faulty amplifier hook up can fry either a ribbon or dome. Ribbons usually are damaged (and many domes too) if they are pushed hard. Typically ribbons have very little Xmax (smaller than good domes) and hence the foil get damaged. The good ribbons like Fountek and Aurum Cantus have replaceable foils (many domes like the MDT33, D2905-9900 too have replaceable dome-voice coil assemblies so you retain the magnet and faceplate and frame). In effect you can blow a dome as well a ribbon. I have blown both many times including the hardy D28 from Dynaudio and MDT33 from Morel. It is just easier to blow a ribbon and hence most manufacturers cross them over high and steep or both.

Believers Review
Believers is a film that I was introduced to during a dvd I got on Netflix. I immediately was drawn to the horror elements of the movie, but overall it is not horror.
The movie is simple in its premise: two paramedics are kidnapped and put into captivity inside a cult compound. The cult is getting ready to do a mass suicide that will save them from a coming apocalypse.
The visuals in the film are really low budget, but not necessarily straight to dvd low budget. The acting is not that good, and the story really takes some time to get used to. It's a slow moving endeavor, and the action only picks up within the last 10 minutes of the film. So if you like a slow burner, you're in for a SLOOOOW wait.
There are a few surprises to be found, but overall the film lacks a lot.
The one thing that I really loved about this film is the ending. The ending makes it worth while to stick around until the end. However, this film is not worth owning, maybe a rental if you have to, but its more like a sci-fi channel film, as it lacks in visual and story elements. It is definitely more of a thriller than it is a horror film, that's for sure.
This movie is from the guys that brought you The Blair Witch Project, which is a superior film in many ways. Even a convoluted nude/sex scene doesn't help this slow moving film.
Check out the movie trailer, and decide for yourself if Believers on dvd is the right thriller to add to your collection.

#20354 closed Bug (fixed)

I have a project with a 3rd party bundled file (MIT-license.txt
) which is apparently not encoded with UTF-8 and contains some characters that makes the makemessages
management command crash with a UnicodeDecodeError
. It outputs the full contents of the file, but not the file name or location. Not very helpful.
I don't really want to have to search my project for 3rd party non-UTF8 files with a .txt
or .html
extension and convert them to UTF8. I'd rather leave 3rd party files as they are so I can diff and update them easier.
I also don't really want to do a find across the whole project looking for a match against the content that caused the error, so I can work out the filename and explicitly ignore it with a glob pattern.
I'd like Django to simply warn me that the file generated a UnicodeDecodeError
and was skipped, then continue processing other files. If it's important, then I can go and fix it.

This is all new wool, however this project would be perfect
for repurposed wool also.
(35.56cm x 45.72cm)
Piecing the top is not my favorite part....
but embellishing the wool pieces is nirvana !
More to come as this project takes shape.
This is a lovely idea.
I have a few of my GrandMa's quilt tops that are made out of wool. She probably pieced them sometime in the 50's. They have never been finished, just the tops are done. Well I guess there done, although they need a little TLC.
I might say there were certainly some interesting colors of wool back then.
Maybe I shall give it a try. Who knows.

Batman vs. Superman Movie Gets Cinematographer From 300, Watchmen, Super 8 & Lost
Zack Snyder will be using his 300, Watchmen and Sucker Punch cinematographer Larry Fong for the untitled Batman vs. Superman movie.
A resume at the World Wide Production Agency for Larry Fong has been updated and lists Fong as the director of photography (DP).
A DP is in charge of everything on set that deals with the camera work, basically having as much responsibility and answering only to the director.
The resume notes "Batman Vs. Superman" as the title of the movie, which we are guessing is only used as a general title.
Other credits for Fong include being the DP for J.J. Abrams' Super 8 as well as Lost.
The sequel to "Man of Steel" goes into production next year for a July 17, 2015 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

Sunday Brunch in London
I don't know London very well at all. I can't ever decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's just a thing, I suppose. And it's neither nor.
While walking through the streets you come across places that you should probably know what they are. Or maybe you see a charming old pub and you just assume that it's quite famous. But I don't know. I can't tell one thing from the next...
But I did see this little restaurant one morning. The outside was covered in ivy and flowers, and this old couple was sitting outside on the bench. I don't know why I set up for a picture... it was both mundane and not.

on Feb 04This is simply wonderful. I love the colours. London is such a varied place. I've lived and worked here on and off over the last 40 years and I'm still amazed about what is around the next corner. My advice would be to next time grab a Brompton and whizz around the back streets of Soho, Paddington, Hyde Park, etc.
on Feb 11Love that London restaurant with the old couple. The flowers, the couple, the composition - every is perfect and interesting. Question - Do you get model releases from people you photograph? Seems this is required from anyone who wants to publish my photos.

The Summer of 2009 was the most unique of summers for me. I may have had only one hour on the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar Square as 1/2400th of Antony Gormley's 'One & Other' project... but the influence of this experience that was begun on 8th June 2009 (when I first read that I had a place), carried through the Summer, until the final hour of the One & Other art installation and beyond.
I lived this Summer of 2009 on a different level and although for the most part, my days occurred as normal - they were 'felt' differently. I spent a lot of time, wondering about the Plinth – an awful, ridiculous, all-consuming amount of time, wondering about the Plinth.
Before 11am Sunday 12th July, I would wonder at how it would be on the Plinth and how I would spend my hour. Then after my hour, I would wonder at who was on the Plinth at any given moment and I would be a little envious that some 'other' was having a 'Plinth experience'.
The Summer of 2009 morphed from its heady intensity on 8th June to complete fear by 9th June. What on earth was I thinking? I had no desire for cameras, no desire for my moment in a spotlight, no desire for doing anything quite as incredibly public as this Plinth thing. I had entered my name for a place, to show support for what I thought was a lovely idea worth supporting – I sign up to too many newsletters for the same reason.
At the time of notification, there was no 'One' on the Plinth (the project did not start until 6th July), so there was all that time of overwhelming newness – total unknown-ness about this. On reflection – this was probably the most exquisite of times. When we grow up, there are a whole lot less 'firsts'. This was a true first, a something I had never done and more than that, a something I had never even considered or imagined as a something I would ever do… ever.
At this time, I felt like I needed to find some of the 'others', so went searching. Google, Facebook, Twitter had some chatter about the One & Other event and I started finding the search results for "What will I do with my hour?" – growing. Slowly but surely, those that had received notice that they had an hour on the Plinth and were on the internet – found each other.
The official Facebook Group by Artichoke (and the lovely, approachable, helpful Holly Race) for One & Other, was a big group, even in the pre-project days and what I really wanted, was to narrow down my search; to just those who were going to have an hour on the Plinth.
So for every post I found on the internet that said the poster had received notice that they were going on the Plinth – I sent a message inviting them to a new Facebook group called 'I, Plinthian'; a locked group that would be for Plinthians only.
This was one of my better ideas. 'I, Plinthian' was a dimension to this experience that I could never have factored. The support, the warmth, the honesty, the sincerity and the incredible unity of our band of 'others' …stirred such emotion within me. Not wishing to over-dramatise (could I ever be accused of that?), but this group assured me, that my belief in the natural wonderfulness of people – was a well founded one.
My faith in 'others' was established as fact.
