Rated 3 out of 5 by JY2160 from Runs large! I'm a curvy girl... A size 12... And I totally thought that I needed the XL. When it arrived it was WAY TOO BIG! Sad because I liked it very much, but the next size down was no longer available. I will be ordering it when it's back up on the site!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Felicia from CHEAP This dress was very poorly made. The seems in the front are sewn all bunched up. Looks like a 1o dollar dress from the flea market! Not worth the price tag at all!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LadyL from Must have Loved the dress. I don't usually wear fitted dresses but this one fits great. It's fitted and material sucks everything in. Making me look slimmer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Margella from Very Flattering I can't rave enough about this dress. The second I put it one my husbands jaw dropped. I am 5'4 140, wear a size 8 and the medium fit like a glove, so flattering and made me look curvy in a slimming way. I NEVER thought a peplum dress would suit my body type, but the salesgirl brought it and I fell in love as soon as I zipped it up. It is very sophisticated and sexy, the mesh is the perfect touch, not trashy at all. If you are looking for a sexy dress that keeps it classy, this is the ONE.

Kotaku: "While the Wii was probably the worst console of all time for sports video game development, I don't see much in the Wii U's current offerings—all of three simulation sports—that makes its high-definition successor any more of a full partner in the same landscape."
Great read. I think Nintendo is in alot of trouble. Why should developers port their games to this system? All of the third parties titles that launched on WiiU flopped. The only title that hanging in there is ZombiU but that isn't even a smashing success.
Developers aren't going to want to waste millions porting their game and then optimizing it because of the WiiU slow cpu speed. Then on top of that, they have to add useless gimmicks to their games that not going to add much or if anything to the experience.
Nintendo better get it together because If they don't. Vita is going to be taking all their ports since it cheaper and easier to port games to that system. Just look at TecmoKoei.
Because Madden reflects the launch as a whole. /sarcasm
I love how a fanatic is accusing people who like this console of being fanatics. Oh the irony.
No I think poor launch sales and no games until February reflect the launch as a whole as well as delayed games and 3rd parties who are deciding to skip over it.
People keep claiming it's sold out but we all know it is not. Reggie also lied on national television about the product which tells you something else.
Keep trying! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while!
Please keep the misinformation coming. The Wii U and first party games have sold moderately well. Some places sold the Wii U out but stocks were kept up.
Reggie is a PR person. The PR folks at Sony lied when they said the trailer for Eight Days was actual gameplay.
Just own up and admit that you desperately WANT the Wii U to fail, eh?
You getting a Wii U? Seriously YOU getting a Wii U? This is the funniest thing I've read all day.
The way you act towards Nintendo, you had me thinking you wouldn't touch a Nintendo console even if someone payed you to. Oh and 80% cheaper? The Wii has been out 6 years and it's not even near 80% cheaper as yet.
I don't play companies, I play games. But I guess fanboys will never change.
Yes I do want the Wii U to fail. Why? Because I'm sick of stupid Ninny fanboys who think being fed shit is acceptable. How can you even buy their consoles anymore after being sold out to the casuals? You Ninny fanboys try to deny this by saying it's not about hardware even though you buy SEQUELS on more modern consoles. You're all a joke. Nintendo sold all of you out and you know it, but are unwilling to accept it.
I love how you refer to the glory days of Nintendo and how the SNES and N64 were the greatest thing in the world. Reality check, it's 2012 almost 2013 and Nintendo has released a sub par console that will STRUGGLE to compete with the 720 and PS4, one of which will be reasonably priced, probably the 720. They have STRUGGLED to get 3rd party developers other than multiplats on theirs systems.
I love how you say Nintendo has good first party titles even though they've milked them about as badly as COD. I love how you say Nintendo has the best first party titles when metacritic scores suggest otherwise. Now all of their intellectual property is being developed by second party developers.
You all say Nintendo innovates. How? By supplying you with weak hardware that can barely compete? Yeah that's innovation right there. Well done. On top of that, why don't we just light a fire in front of us and praise Nintendo. Innovation, is using new and better hardware to push the limits of what we can do. Developers, consider the Wii U a burden. How are they supposed to integrate a gamepad into their game?
Do me a favor PopRocks, shut up and realize what Nintendo has become.
I really hope you get bent and take a trip outside, man. Sounds like you need it.
None of the other HD systems had even remotely this much trouble getting an online community in its first few months.
They're going to miss out on the big bucks like DLC.
People need to stop trivializing this issue.
Wow, really? You mean to seriously tell me that the PS3 didn't have a hard time pushing its online infrastructure early on? Aside from Resistance, how many big games were online on the PS3? Or had DLC for that matter? And we all know how well PS Home worked out when it launched.
Honestly, if people here are going to label me a fanboy for defending Nintendo with this platform then you tell me how you're not to be labelled a fanboy for suggesting that Sony didn't start off sluggishly with the PS3.
"Wow, really? You mean to seriously tell me that the PS3 didn't have a hard time pushing its online infrastructure early on? Aside from Resistance, how many big games were online on the PS3? Or had DLC for that matter? And we all know how well PS Home worked out when it launched"
1) It's not 2006 anymore. DLC is exponentially bigger today.
2) I recall a vibrant Resistance community as well as other games on ps3 at launch. It definitely had more than 42 people playing (and more than Wii U Blops 2 had....which is pathetic with how much more popular COD is).
3) PS Home has made millions in DLC. Who cares if software that was clearly only testing the waters had a rocky start?
"None of the other HD systems had even remotely this much trouble getting an online community in its first few months."
" It's not 2006 anymore. DLC is exponentially bigger today."
Your 2nd part is right. It isnt 2006 anymore but that points to your first part. sony DID have trouble getting its online all squared away. MS essentially carried over the live community from xbox to the 360 while at the same time improving on that structure.
Sony knew they couldnt very well charge for their service because there wasnt any substance like live had. How do you get customers? You get them by trying to undercut the competition. While the idea of the online play was free, that was the only thing PSN really could counter live with.
It took them time to build the video relations with netflix and hulu. it took time to build the store to be more unified. it took time to build home into a social platform. All of which took longer than "first few months" as you proclaim.
Looking at PSN now vs then we can see Sony made many mistakes but also worked their ass off to rectify those mistakes and build PSN into what it is. nintendo gave online an afterthought on the wii. Very similar to sony and their view of it on the PS2. so naturally both companies had to start somewhere.
We poke fun at nintendo when we really dont know what kinds of strides they will make in the coming future or how long it will take. People who believed strongly in sony building a solid online system should give nintendo the same optimistic POV.
Even if some dont care for nintendo as a whole, they are wanting to follow in the footsteps of greatness which in and of itself is very respectable.
Kids, kids. Stop fighting.
Not a single one of the comments above actually dealt in facts or numbers. They were all like "Well, Wii U has totally flopped saleswise" (without refering to sales and sales expectations) and then someone would go "No, it hasn't. You just want it to fail" (again, without references)
You might as well not talk, because it's just word against word. You don't deal in facts, you deal in intuition.
How you feel the things are going means nothing.
Ok, I'll admit a few of the comments closer to the bottom weren't that bad.
maybe the people who own a wii u dont like madden. i know i dont.
PS3 had a large online community with Resistance:FOM.
I guess they don't like any games that go online, then....
mika, you should chill out a bit
Is it just me or did the wii definitely have it's sporting moments? Love it or hate it wii sports was absoloutly unbelievable the first time you played that and turned your living room into a temporary bowling alley , Golf course , Baseball pitch , tennis court etc. Wii sports Resort was awesome aswell. And yes I know it's casual , but it's still a sports game lol.
What About PES on the wiiu ? that was terrific.
Tiger woods on wiiu was amazing.
Mario strikers , etc etc etc.
The wii had its sports moments definitely.
kotaku goood read? LAMO only trolls, fanboys, or complete idiots takes what kotaku say seriously
Mika is a known troll. He/she shows up on every Nintendo article just to bash it.
It's an unfair comparison. Everyone knows that no self-respecting Madden player would be caught playing on the Wii U.
It's like saying only 42 players are on Live playing Rainbow Dash's Magical Princess Quest right now, xbox must = Doom.
And Madden is a smashing success on the vita?
It's sold a good 200 k. Not too bad for a simple port on a handheld.
If you are a madden fan, why in the hell would you wait SIX years to buy a Wii u to play madden? Chances are 99% you already own a 360 or ps3 for it.
That argument doesn't even make sense.
This is madden "2013". How could someone wait six years to buy it when its only been out for a few months?
Even more sad is that you had all agrees for this statement.
I think you're missing his argument, lilbro. It's that if you're a Madden fan, you likely already have consoles you are currently playing Madden on.
Why, then, would you jump ship to a brand new control scheme when you already have the one you're comfortable with?
However, a counterpoint would be, "Doesn't this indicate that Nintendo's going to have an exceedingly difficult time capturing any of the sports audience?"
So you think Nintendo should give up on the wii-u but Sony shouldnt drop the Vita? The wii-u is a month old and selling very well. The Vita is a year old and only at 3 million.
I would think the wii-u is in a perfect position to recieve 3rd party games as its comparable to other hd systems, easy to code for, Nin doesnt charge for patches, and its a new system so games sell very well considering the library is smaller. Also alot of dev's might decide to make wii-u/360/ps3 games instead of ps4/720 games because its cheaper and theres 200 million more sold when new consoles launch.
Wii-u is a guaranteed success as soon as Zelda, Metroid, exc hit. Couple that with the agressive 3rd party partnering Nin is doing and i think people will be shocked in a good way. All these recent gamers dont remember before the wii when Nin=core and was the king. Im patiantly waiting for them to return. Hell the 3ds is still new and ive already gooten star fox, zelda, paper mario, re, kid icarus, tales, mh, 2d mario, scribblenauts, prof layton, animal crossing, harvest moon, 3d mario, and mario kart. They brought that shit and wii-u will be no different.
Thank you someone knows what they are talking about and the 3ds is coming with a lot of rpgs and jrpgs and the wii u will get ports from the ps3 and 360 and ps4 and 720 and the wii u will have a lot of 3rd party titles and surprises and more new ips and of course there 1st party titles which ssell millions and I'm sure there will be 1st party surprises but dumbass people don't give nintendo a chance and just automatically assume things then when nintendo does everyrhing and more nintendo still doesn't get any credit and I will play my wii u today but the hate will keep coming and nintemdo will keep being successful
lol why the vita is coming into a console discussion. It a handheld the factors that hindering its success do not apply to the Wiiu. and also vita is 9 month old
Mika and hatsumi or whatever the name is are one in the same I swear there funny.
It wouldn't be a Nintendo article without the Nintendo bashing love birds in the comments section. Seriously Mika and hatsune-miku you guys should get a room with your sony products and just make sony babies. And also please stay away from Nintendo articles while you're at it that would be an added bonus.
"Great read"?
While this article is talking about sports games that were released on PS3 and 360 three months ago not having the same amount of people online as one less than a month old. You go off on an off topic rant.
Vita? Just mentioning that you of all people shouldn't want to judge any console since you a begging for people to give Vita a chance.
We get it, you hate anything Nintendo does because...Nintendo and Sony is the last bastion of true gaming. Do you really need to comment on every Nintendo article despite you obviously not liking Nintendo.
Mika. you never sleep ? i wonder everytime i read nintendo articles and you always the first comment.
This is not good. Hopefully wiiU will start making more progress.
not getting one (while I wait for ps4) but I wish ninty the best.
Doesn't make it any better than the primary controller is different from the other 2 or now maybe 3 consoles.
Devs will make 2 console version and a tacked on wiiU feature. not good to deviate to much imo. This is why most kinect and wii, move games were just shovel ware.
If you want the hardcore the pro controller should be the main thing.
But I must admit the tablet is interesting.
Madden was not well regarded this year by fans of the sport, fans of the genre, or critics in the media. The Wii U version was a poor port of an already mediocre-at-best sports release. It also came out a couple of months late, with the season more than half over and most people interested in playing the game having already picked it up for one of the other consoles it came out on earlier in the year.
So you've got a mediocre port of a mediocre game released well after its peak of consumer interest, to a console that is just finding its feet as it just launched weeks ago.
If you think that's a recipe for success, you're crazy. That it became somewhat of a failure is in no way an indication to publishers that the console itself is a lost cause.
People need to keep in mind that this is a new system launch! That has an effect on these kinds of things. The library will grow, the user base will expand, and sales will increase as time goes on.
Some perspective is in order here.
If anything, this shows how smart most Wii U owners are. They know Madden is the same damn game every year and know that it will NEVER change as it has not in like a decade so if hardly anyone buys it, EA wont make any more on the system and I doubt that most Wii U owners would shed a tear loosing madden.
Well played Wii U, well played :-
Look up the definition of "same".
It doesn't change much but it changes. I'm not a fan of Madden or exaggeration.
You're mistaken. Nintendo in alot of trouble? That's not the smartest thing I've read recently. They just finished the seventh generation in first place! With two GCN's duct taped together! Nintendo is starting the eighth generation of video games while Microsoft and Sony still battle it out for last place stuck in the last generation! Plus what's going to be the better game? Madden this quickie port or the Madden that comes out next year built from the ground up custom made for the WiiU! Hmmm? Don't you think gamers understand this?
Vita? I just can't take you seriously. Here's something dead serious, what do you think is going to happen when Nintendo starts releasing the triple AAA's
that no self respecting gamer can do without? In hd. Brand new online plan. New and incredible ways to play. I'll give you a hint, "The good guys win again!" Nobody in this industry can touch Nintendo when it comes to software design, imagination and just plain 'ole fun. Microsoft and Sony better luck next time and always remember, "There's nothing wrong with silver!" Lol!
Ahhhh BS.
Nintendo has casual moms and grandmas to thank for first place. You think they care to buy another dust magnet? GTFO
I loved Nintendo when I was 10yo. Be truthful if you don't have a gaming PC, Xbox, or PS3 to go with that Wii you are the one missing out.
"something isn't therefore that something should never be"
Pretty much the definition of being close-minded.
I don't care about the Wii-U and especially not sports games, but the lack of logic here is astounding.
"While the Wii was probably the worst console of all time for sports video game development..."
You have got to be kidding me.
Sometimes I think gaming "journalism" can't get any worse, but there are always surprises lol. The lack of professionalism is astounding but I guess you don't need that in gaming journalism. Idk I know I'm done with these kinda sites tho, they're getting ridiculous. Ill stick to miiverse where its positive, fun, creative and most importantly, is all about the games and not politics and other nonsense.
Lol... Kotaku has been on a WiiU hating spree.
They need to realize the console just released, not every game is going to have 1 mil players.. the user base isn't that big yet.
Not only that , but madden sucks lol! So does fifa 13 (kinda) on wiiu. Nobody wants those rushed launch ports. We will wait for proper games.
Yeah they are doing it to just get clicks on their shit site.
Hah, are you saying there's a game in WiiU that has 1 million players?
Keep in mind many long-time Madden fans were disappointed with the changes to the franchise mode (such as myself) and the overall direction of the series. Add that to the fact Madden 13 was already half baked on 360/PS3 and was simply a lazy port of Madden 12 for Wii U (lacking physics engine) then you have a recipe for failure, good job EA!
Yeah as soon as they give us a real madden I think I'll buy it. Otherwise I'll get it from 2k.
Also keep in mind that this console was JUST released!
Exactly, it will get there in time but its gonna have to take devs actually putting forth effort and not phoning it in.
Yes, and only Nintendo games are selling. This is the point. No one expects hundreds of thousands of people playing a game online, but only 42? That's a flop.
Wii u will not get anywhere near wii sales.
Let us know what it's like to have false future sight when the wiiu is leading the hardware sales of the 8th generation.... thanks.
You're also implying you have some sort of time machine.
"... when the wiiu is leading the hardware sales of the 8th generation."
Hypocritical idiot. :)
Stick with current-gen or a high-end PC until all three manufacturers have shown their offerings. That's the ONLY way to determine what suits you, unless you like to blindly hate things.
It's obvious Wii U will never get near original Wii but then again PS3 will never get near PS2 do we consider PS3 a failure?
Both PS2 and Wii were the right product at the right time.
Damn man you making too much sense on here. That's forbidden on N4G. Just kidding lol. Well said BTW.
'Sports console' wtf?
Yeah, a console with lots of good sport games? Do you get it now?
A sports game port that most gamers already own is not really top priority for someone buying a new console. Its an expensive process getting a new console and people usually buy only a couple titles, Madden 13 is simply Not worth on owning two consoles.
thinking that games not selling well on a console that is a few weeks old and that the game has been out for months means that the console failed
kotaku logic
Sadly... this is becoming a more common mentality, since it gets hits / people like to hate random things. I'll wait for Rayman Legends to come out and do well, then see whos still talking out their ***.
Worth mentioning. To gamers that purchase systems day one or the gaming press this may seem strange/bad. However the reality is that Christmas (which is when most of the sales will probably be given as gifts) hasn't occurred yet. People may have purchased systems and games but not have access to them yet. Just my thoughts

Studying Tree Health
April 28, 2009
Trees are dying twice as fast as they did three decades ago in older forests of the western United States, and data collected by Lewis & Clark students are helping scientists identify warming temperatures as a contributing factor. Student data were included in a paper titled "Widespread Increase of Tree Mortality Rates in the Western United States," which appeared in the January 23 issue of Science.
For the past three summers, Lewis & Clark students have engaged in an environmental service project with University of Washington researchers through the College Outdoors program, directed by Joe Yuska. Students have gathered data at long-term forest research plots throughout the Pacific Northwest.
"We returned to plots that were established 30-plus years previously and remeasured every 5 to 10 years to provide an ongoing image of forest dynamics over time," explains Brian Erickson B.A. '06, leader of the 2006 and 2008 service projects. "The students collected high-quality data, worked extremely hard, learned a lot, and had a good time in the process."

Spare legs anyone?January 9, 2011 at 2:44 pm | Posted in Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 2 Comments
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! One of my new year's resolutions is to get back to posting, now that my City & Guilds embroidery qualification is out of the way – or at least I hope it is. The last assessment piece went off to be assessed a bit before Christmas.
It's been an up and down few months – mostly up, and very up from an R.A. point of view, but down due to all sorts of hassles with central heating incurring large bills and the need for new pipework, a new tank and a new office floor. All that, plus rows with the flooring people, rows with British Gas, minor irritations with the plumbers is now … done and dusted. (I'm hoping that's not famous last words!)
So with the new floor down, the new pipes in, the City & Guilds qualification completed, this should be a year of new beginnings … or at least picking up the old threads that got dropped along the way, including my blog.
One other thing that got somewhat dropped, not helped by the horrible weather we've had lately, is my photography, so yesterday I decided to go and spend my Christmas money (it's great still getting Christmas money from relatives at 42 – I know people whose relatives told them they were too old for Christmas presents now at 11!) I bought a brand new, shiny tripod (had to go for a light-weight version as, thanks to the good ol' R.A., even though it's not particularly worrisome at the moment). I'd put together a certain amount of money for a tripod and found that if I was going for light weight I either had to double that money or go for a 'compact' at considerably less money. Although the compact isn't quite as sturdy, that's what I opted for. So, with the money 'saved' and a handy second-hand lens available in the camera shop that was just what I wanted, I got a lens too! Then hubby and I had lunch out and hammered out some work-related stuff I wanted to discuss, and finally we've ordered a new DVD/hard drive. Nothing like a good bit of retail therapy to make it a cheering new year.
So … on to today. I decided it was too darned cold to test out my new gear outside so decided to go round to mum's to test it out on her splendid Christmas Cacti. Never got quite that far – I broke the tripod!!! That's where the spare legs come in … alas, I can't offer any spare legs to anyone although I'm sure there are a few people reading this who could do with them, as could I, but I fear that's what my new tripod is going to be. The legs are fine but I have irrevocably broken the head and it's ENTIRELY MY FAULT, which makes it ten times worse, not only because I've clearly invalidated any guarantee but because I feel such a fool!! I shall contact the manufacturer on Monday and see if they can supply a new head for less than the cost of the whole tripod, in which case fine; otherwise I shall have to get a new tripod and then, looking on the rather limited bright side, I shall have a set of spare tripod legs if I ever need them!

Nokia rolls in sportscar-styled Arte phone
You won't get this phone free on contract
Nokia has extended its high-end Arte mobile phone range with a model that sounds as though all the materials were nicked from a luxury sports car.
Nokia's 8800 Carbon Arte: motor car materials
The 8800 Carbon Arte is crafted from a mixture of carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel to give the handset a truly elite look and feel. While the carbon fibre helps give the phone's case that interwoven appearance, the material also means the case is both strong and lightweight.
While an ordinary gent might have to roll up his sleeve and look at his Casio digital to find out what time it is, a high-flying Nokia Arte owner shouldn't even have time to glance at his Breitling. Just tap twice on the surface below the 8800 Carbon's OLED display and the time will appear on screen as if by magic.
Users get a 3.2Mp camera and 4GB of on-board storage
In true Arte style, the phone's keypad section is hidden underneath the display. And to give the talker's screen that extra je ne sais quoi, background images also change "organically" during the day.
A reasonable quality 3.2-megapixel camera is hidden around the back of the handset and the phone provides 4GB of on-board storage. A micro USB port is also built into the 8800 Carbon, and Bluetooth is present too.
Nokia's 8800 Carbon Arte is available now for a whopping €1100 ($1600/£870). And you thought that Apple thing was pricey...

BOSTON, Mass. – For the second time in two weeks, MIT cross country junior Elaine McVay (San Ramon, Calif.) was named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Runner of the Week for her impressive performance over the weekend, as announced on Tuesday afternoon. She was also named the Corvias Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Runner of the Week a few days later for that same performance.
After taking a weekend off from competition, the Engineers returned to the cross country trail on Saturday afternoon at the NEICAAA Championships at Franklin Park, an event that allowed Division I, II and III runners to compete against each other. McVay crossed the line first for MIT, completing the 5k course with a time of 18:14 to take 23rd place. She helped lead Tech to a seventh place finish out of the 43 teams present, wrapping up the day with 223 points. They were the second Division III team to finish, coming in 31 points behind Middlebury College.
McVay earned her first Runner of the Week nod of the season at the Purple Valley Classic at the end of September following her second place finish in the 6k with a time of 22:29.1, coming in less than 10 seconds behind the first place finisher from Williams College.
In the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) poll that was released last week, the Engineers were ranked fourth in the nation, after slipping one place from the previous week's poll. MIT remains in second in the New England region behind Middlebury.
MIT will not compete until Sunday, Nov. 3 when it returns to Franklin Park for the NEWMAC Championships. The Engineers will be looking to capture their seventh consecutive conference title.

Only God Forgives (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits Refn's flawed, near masterpiece in glorious HD video...
Julian (Ryan Gosling), a respected figure in the criminal underworld of Bangkok, runs a Thai boxing club and smuggling ring with his brother, Billy. Billy is suddenly murdered and their crime lord matriarch, Crystal (Kristin Scott Thomas) arrives from London to bring back the body. When Jenna forces Julian to settle the score with his brother's killers, Julian finds himself in the ultimate showdown. (From Radius' official synopsis)
Having missed every single one of the Pusher movies, I joined the Nicolas Winding Refn fan club a bit late. Following my first viewing of his Bronson, however, I found myself addicted to his extraordinarily unique brand of cinema. Of the films I've seen, I recognize the director's love of genre conventions and I delight in the way this love embattles his inherently aggressive and flashily artistic temperaments. On a narrative level, he usually sticks to tropes, embraces clichés, and even embraces forward-moving plot structures (most of his films are reportedly shot in sequence). Yet, despite this apparent admiration for traditional storytelling, Refn doesn't make conventional movies. In his post- Pusher work I can see the influences of filmmakers, like Martin Scorsese, Sergio Leone, Michael Mann, working right alongside seemingly incompatible influences, like Bill Lustig, Kenneth Anger, and Tobe Hooper. These films exist in a vacuum where they can be exactly the same and completely different than everything on the shelf next to them. Mainstream audiences attempted to embrace Refn's sensibilities in 2011 when he made a typical western-cum-gangster flick called Drive. Drive was made within the Hollywood system – on a decent budget (low by Hollywood standards, of course) and with A-level Hollywood talent – but it retained his fetishistic sentiment.
Drive was an incredibly divisive film and rightfully so – it was a weird tone poem that was sold as an action-packed Ryan Gosling vehicle. For better or worse, though, it helped Refn develop something of a pop culture reputation outside of his prominence in the film buff community – a reputation that fans and detractors alike expected him to deliver upon with his next film, Only God Forgives. Despite reuniting with Gosling and Drive composer Cliff Martinez, Only God Forgives is a different kind of film. It certainly covers similar ground, especially in terms of genre mash-up and the two characters Gosling plays in these films having common traits, but it's not follow-up in the same way Casino is a follow-up to Goodfellas or The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a follow-up to Fistful of Dollars. Sometimes, it even feels like Only God Forgives is satirizing Drive, especially when Refn ramps up the gory violence and extends the already endless sequences of characters silently and intently staring at each other.
Knowing his penchant for the subversive, it's quite possible that Only God Forgives was made in response to both the good and bad reactions audiences had concerning Drive. Even if he isn't 'trolling' the positive/negative critical/audience responses, there's definitely an air of an anti- Drive in terms of the production processes. Only God Forgives was shot in a developing country on the other side of the world from Los Angeles, on a significantly smaller budget and with only a single star actor in its repertoire (Kristin Scott Thomas is arguably an A-list star, but she's almost entirely unrecognizable in the part). Refn shoots each film in a similarly studious and controlled manner, but Only God Forgives uses limited locations and much of it feels shot on the fly – one assumes he didn't have to close off any streets in Thailand, nor did he need permits for every exterior shot. Other evidence points to Only God Forgives as the delayed follow-up to Refn's surrealistic Viking parable, Valhalla Rising (2009). Apparently, the only thing that kept the two films from being made/released in a row was Gosling personal request that the director to shoot Drive first. But, even without this anecdotal evidence, the stylistic and thematic similarities between Valhalla Rising and Only God Forgives are difficult to ignore. Both films are religious-themed parables that blend arthouse aesthetics with super gory violence and minimal story. Refn has even implied that Lt. Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), the tireless and silent force of justice that dogs Julian's family, might be a reincarnation of Valhalla Rising's unstoppable killing machine, One-Eye (played by television's Hannibal Lecter, Mads Milkinsen). At the very least, both characters can be interpreted as representations of God's wrath.
Also like Valhalla Rising, Only God Forgives is simplified on a narrative level to the point that the plot is beside the point of the exercise – themes and impressions take precedence. Refn does fix his focus on his major characters, but refuses to give anyone any substantial dialogue – except Crystal, who spends more time hurling lurid and cruel insults than exposition. Entire exchanges are filmed without sound (or rather, the sound has been deleted, as composer Cliff Martinez even verifies during the disc's special features), but Refn has enough faith in his visual storytelling to assume we'll understand the progression of what was said. Most of the characters are presented as mythological impressions of human beings, except Julian. The audience experiences his sadness, anger, desire, and fear through visual representations of imagined scenarios (many of which we don't know aren't reality as they're happening). Refn also inter-cuts and contrasts Julian's perspectives with Crystal's and Chang's, implying that his antagonists are haunting him. The film's horrifying, incendiary violence was another bone of contention with many critics, but the violence fits the standard of the film's studied and garish tone. Only God Forgives is certainly guilty of committing to style over substance, but, in confronting this frustrating lack of content, we are numbed to logic and forced to create our own content. Or not. Maybe there is no greater meaning or purpose beyond the mesmerizing photography and music. Refn himself has said he just wanted to make a western in an eastern location, so perhaps his artistic idiosyncrasies overwhelmed his desired modesty.
Only God Forgives was shot using Arri Alexa and Red Epic digital HD cameras and is presented here in 1.85:1, 1080p video. Refn's post- Bronson films have all featured a thematic use of saturated colour. Valhalla Rising used nearly monochromatic sequences to express violence, while Drive was lit like an episode of Miami Vice on acid. Only God Forgives splits the difference with an occasionally monochromatic, neon-baked palette that threatens to burn the corneas from the viewers' eye sockets. It might be the most aggressively saturated, non-animated film I've ever seen shot without four-strip Technicolor. The hi-res, digital photography allows the hyper-consistent and hyper-vivid hues to cut against each other when Refn and cinematographer Larry Smith (who actually hasn't worked with Refn since Bronson) require sharp lines for layering, but is also just as effective when blending softer edges, creating secondary and tertiary colours in the place of some of the shadows and highlights. This is done with minimal noise in the overlap or notable banding effects. The daylight sequences are overwhelmed with softer and more eclectic tones and, in turn, more fine detail and patterns. Here, the edges are just as crisp, but the busier frame is the contrasts are more subtle and the overall image is something closer to what videophiles tend to expect from the format. Though, again, I'm more impressed with the pristine and even patterns that appear along the darker, more vibrant scenes. Black levels are just as immaculate as the colours, especially the dragon motifs that line the walls of the Muay Thai training facility.
The first time I saw Only God Forgives, I had the good fortune of experiencing it in a particularly loud theater, where Cliff Martinez' unbelievably cool synthesizer score vibrated the seats and walls around me. Martinez' music is such an indelible and unforgettable part of the film that it's hard to remember any other sound occurring on this powerful DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack. There's so little dialogue and effects work that it often feels as if you're viewing a long-form music video and that the film wouldn't lose much if all the non-musical sound was deleted (aside from Scott Thomas' wonderfully vile speeches, of course). The music is mostly remembered as electronic in nature, but also includes stereo-rattling taiko drums, LFE bursting organ, layered strings, and a lot of surreal industrial noise, similar to the kind of thing David Lynch used for Eraserhead and Blue Velvet. Of course, Martinez' score isn't the only music the track is left to deal with; there's also the matter of Lt. Chang's post-punishment karaoke laments. These scenes are similarly loud, but the on-screen, source sound has a nice round, echoing quality. There are rare moments where music or dialogue don't defining the track, like the opening sequence in Julian's Muay Thai club. Here, the roar of the crowd wraps around the room and undercuts the wet slap of fists hitting bodies. Later, the heavy patter of rain douses the speakers and the soft, subtle chirp of cicadas echo throughout the rear channels during daylight hours. On the more aggressive side is the film's single shoot-out, which unleashes a torrent of gunfire, worthy of any big-budget action flick.
The extras begin with a commentary from Refn and film critic Damon Wise. I really didn't want to listen to this track and probably wouldn't have if I wasn't reviewing the disc. This isn't because I don't think Refn isn't an incredibly interesting speaker – because he always is – it's because I was so afraid he and Wise would explain to me exactly why I loved the movie so much. Worried that I'd need more time to parse the material before I could approach the track, I decided to take a sampling for this write-up, hoping to summarize the tone and content type for readers. From what I sampled I was able to gather that Wise acts as something of an interviewer, who coaxes meaning, anecdotal evidence, and flowery analogies ('If Drive is like cocaine, Only God Forgives is like acid') out of the director. Refn is open to discussion, but doesn't necessarily give everything away while discussing the film. Perhaps best for the people like me that don't want to be 'spoiled,' Refn and Wise are both occasionally open to multiple interpretations of the material and tends to focus on the director's thought process more than the specific meanings. There's also plenty of information regarding the technical and logistical problems, along with otherwise unobtainable tidbits, like the meaning of the lyrics Chang sings during karaoke.
Up next is a two-part interview with Refn (12:10, HD). In the first part he discusses the film's strange reality, Gosling's performance, and shooting on location in Thailand with Mark Dinning. In the second part, he discusses theatricality, making movies outside of the mainstream, and subverting genre filmmaking with Bruno Icher. Up next is The Music of Only God Forgives with Cliff Martinez (9:10, HD), a cordial interview with the composer, who discusses his full career and his relationship with Refn throughout Drive and Only God Forgives.
The disc is wrapped up with a twelve-part, raw footage, behind-the-scenes featurette (23:30, HD) with descriptive chapter titles, like:
- The Drug Trade
- Staging the Brothel Scene -
- Framing the Gun Fight
- The Sword You Execute People With
- Slicing the Arm
- Prepping for the Shootout
- The Sincrest Form of Flattery
- A Face for Radio
- On the Sets with Refn
- The Tongue
- Kendo Techniques
- Violence is Like Sex
Only God Forgives might end up being my favourite film of 2013, but, even after seeing it two times (one half more time with commentary) and mulling over this review for days on end, I'm still not exactly sure why. The best I can arrive at is that its narrative simplicity and lethargic imagery creates the best canvas for director Nicolas Winding Refn's visual perfection. It's certainly not a film with a lot of wide audience appeal, but that's far from a prerequisite for subjective quality. Questions concerning the film's quality aside, Only God Forgives may have become my new go-to demo disc. The hallucinatory images look impeccable and Cliff Martinez' hypnotizing score is a room-filling, smooth, and boisterous experience. The extras include an info-packed director's commentary, two solid (but short) interviews, and a decent collection of fly-on-the-wall-style behind-the-scenes featurettes.

Review by Gabriel Powers

I thought the Freudian imagery was a bit too on the nose (impotence, hands, castration, Oedipal, objects of desire) but somehow I found myself liking this a lot more than many others. I enjoy Drive more, not just because of the 80s aesthetic, but because it's a wee bit more subtle (though my obvious caveat is that Drive is not subtle at all).
This is one of those reviews where I had expected a bit more analysis and criticism, especially since you've proven yourself to be a reliable and perceptive film spectator, Gabe. Or maybe, because Only God Forgives is so obvious, it wasn't worth the energy to really "decipher" it....

I figured there were already plenty of reviews about the Freudian stuff and the fact that Crystal is basically Lady MacBeth floating around from the film's theatrical release. I didn't want to just say the same things better writers had already said better.

By Rose Riot
Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.) the legendary hardcore band from North Carolina with almost 30 years history, has gone through many changes and members. Currently, three of C.O.C.'s founding members Mike Dean, Woody Weatherman and Reed Mullin are on tour.
The the three-piece C.O.C. is doing a setlist that is made up mostly of the Animosity album. I was able to catch up with Mike Dean before the C.O.C. show in Atlanta at The Earl and ask him a few questions about the tour, controversy about the bands changing sound and his lack of tattoos…
Rose Riot: What have you guys all been up to since the last time you played together?
Mike Dean: Last night! We played in Nashville. Ha-ha.
RR: Ha-ha, okay before last night?
MD: Before last spring it had been about 10 years at least since we played with Reed. I had sort of gotten together with Reed and started a band called Righteous Fool.
RR: How was the show in Nashville last night?
MD: Very, very, warm. Every piece of equipment we have was covered in sweat and needed some attention. After the show I got on the rooftop and looked out over the city, I felt like Spider Man!
RR: Whose idea was it to do this tour?
MD: It was Pepper's [Keenan] idea but then it ended up that he couldn't make it. He suggested that we play some festivals and shows, then he couldn't do it, so I said, "Let's just do a three piece" almost as a joke but nobody was laughing. So we did it! We started writing some new music so it wouldn't be a nostalgia operation.
RR: So you have plans with Pepper in the future?
MD: Yes! We have vague plans. If he's not working on Down, we would like to make another record with him in the line-up. We have a new album coming out in February, if I had to guess. We want to exploit that and tour but at the close of all that, we want to get together with Pepper. It could be fun.
RR: Why did you choose the album Animosity to play tonight, and not Deliverance, which had more commercial success?
MD: Primarily, the absence of Pepper because he was a big part of that stuff. Also, there has been a lot of demand for Animosity from our fans. There is this phenomena of young kids who are into hardcore, maybe they asked their da-da about it, I don't know. There is a lot of support for us to do the hardcore thing. At this point, our show is about 60 percent old stuff and 40 percent new. There is stuff from the album Technocracy and some stuff from Deliverance.
RR: It's almost impossible for me to mention your band to one of my friends without them commenting on how your music has changed through the years. Can you explain the change? You know, Punk vs. Metal.
MD: Well, we've got our fingers in a lot of pots. We like a lot of music. We explore and dabble in a lot of things. We don't really like to be categorized so narrowly. We are just fans of music. You hopefully try to transcend those labels and expectations, and in the end have people that want to come to the show. I mean, look at the origin of our band name. We were all about 18 years old. The band name was statement about attitudes we encountered in the hardcore scene that ironically seemed to be narrow and fashion oriented.
RR: One of my favorite quotes by Henry Rollins is something along the lines of how some of the most narrow minded people he has ever met are punk.
MD: For sure.
RR: So, you are working on a new album, will it be more metal or punk… Or a nice combo?
MD: This new album is going to be a mix. We are not good at being too calculated. We wanted some newer stuff that felt current but in the vein of the earlier stuff. Fast tempos and stuff alike that. We started to do just what came natural. There is definitely an emphasis on fast tempos and more aggressive stuff but there is also some melody. In summary, it's an amalgamation of all the eras of the band.
RR: Do you think punk is dead?
MD: Ha-ha. Punk is dead, long live punk! The minute something like that takes on any momentum, it is Dead On Arrival. Punk is dead and reborn all the time.
RR: If you were to make a mix-tape for me of your current favorites, what would be on it?
MD: Wino's acoustic record, Adrift. I like it a lot. Also, ancient Black Sabbath, Goatsnake, Pass the Peas: Best of the JB's, very old Judas Priest particularly stuff from the album Sad Wings of Destiny. Hey, did you know the singer is gay? Ha-ha.
RR: Ha-ha, no way! Corrosion of Conformity's trademark image of the spiky skull biohazard mask has been immortalized in tattoo form many, many times. Who came up with that image?
MD: Ha-ha, that's our "iconic corporate logo!" I have seen many depictions of this logo as a tattoo. The original art work was actually done by a tattooer named Errol Engelbricht at Blue Flame Tattoo. Conceptually we described it and he rendered it.
RR: Why don't you have any tattoos?
MD: Ha-ha, I wouldn't say I don't have any. (Mike pushed his sock down to reveal a very old india ink piece.) I just haven't been able to come up with a unified concept of something that I could live with. I've seen some unfortunate work and I've seen some great work but no concept that speaks to me. It's not something I'm trying to force or jump into.
RR: Is it too late for a tattoo?
MD: It's never too late for a tattoo!

A few years ago, the University of Rhode Island put in a bid to be a host site for the NCAA women's basketball tournament. It didn't work out that time, but when URI put in another bid last year, it worked out better than anybody could have imagined.
URI will host the 2012 NCAA East Regional on March 25 and March 27 at the Ryan Center. The regional champ will cut down the nets and move on to the Final Four in Denver.
URI couldn't be happier that the road to the Final Four is going though Rhode Island. The regional will be one of the biggest women's sporting events in the state's history – and it'll offer some very good basketball.
"I think it's going to be a great event," said Gregg Burke, URI's deputy director of athletics. "For historical reasons, it's easily the second biggest women's sports event in Rhode Island history. I think only the U.S. Women's Open a few years ago would be bigger. And then when you look at the level of basketball, it's just tremendous."
The participating teams won't be decided until the week before the regional, when first and second-round games are played, but there's a decent chance perennial powerhouse Connecticut will come to town. The Huskies are ranked fourth in the country and have a good shot at being the top seed in the East region.
Regardless of who's coming, though, URI is encouraging sports fans around the state to come out. Tickets are available online at gorhody.com.
"If you haven't seen the top eight to 10 women's basketball teams in the country, you're really missing out," said Thorr Bjorn, URI's director of athletics. "They're tremendous athletes and great players. Anybody who has daughters should really think about bringing them because they'll have a great time."
URI has never hosted an NCAA event like this, but the school is ready to put on a show. When the athletic department decided to put in a bid, the thinking was that the Ryan Center would be a perfect fit.
"I think it's a great opportunity not only to market our facility, but also to bring light to our women's basketball program," Bjorn said. "It's a win-win for URI and for Rhode Island."
That applies to the economic impact as well. Two of the teams will stay at hotels in Warwick, one at the Crowne Plaza and another at the Sheraton. Burke, a Warwick native, expects the city to be busy, especially if UConn is one of the teams in the regional.
"On a Monday in mid-March, route two is going to look like the last three days before Christmas," Burke said. "That's one of the great things about this."
Burke coordinated two hockey Frozen Fours and two NCAA men's basketball championship events when he was at Providence College, so he's taken the lead for URI in planning the regional. It's no easy task, but everybody knows all the work will be worth it.
"I've been saying right now is kind of the storm before the storm – there is no calm," Burke said. "It's a ton of hours, but we have no complaints. We're thrilled to be able to do it, and we have a lot of support from the university. What we remind ourselves is that, for a lot of these players, these four days are going to be one of the highlights of their lives. We're the caretakers of that."
In addition to planning for the tournament, URI has reached out to the community for its Adopt-A-Team program. Classrooms at elementary and middle schools around the state have been matched with each of the 342 Division I women's basketball teams. Through a series of activities, students have had the opportunity to learn more about their teams and about the sport. Some classes have even become pen-pals with their team's players, and the classes whose teams make it to the Ryan Center will get the chance to cheer on their adopted squads.
It's all part of what URI hopes will be a memorable few days.
"On that Tuesday around 9 o'clock, 13 or 14 girls are going to climb a ladder and cut down the nets," Burke said. "This is their dream, going back to travel teams and driving all over the place for tournaments. This is their dream, to play with a chance to get to the Final Four. What a great thing to see."

Revision as of 20:14, 6 March 2009
An FXS interface connects the router or access server to end-user equipment such as telephones, fax machines, and modems. The FXS interface supplies ring, voltage, and dial tone to the station and includes an RJ-11 connector for basic telephone equipment, keysets, and PBXs. In Figure: FXS Signaling Interfaces, FXS signaling is used for end-user telephony equipment, such as a telephone or fax machine.
Figure: FXS Signaling Interfaces
FXS Hardware Troubleshooting
An FXS interface connects directly to a standard telephone, fax machine, or similar device and supplies ring, voltage, and dial tone.
Troubleshoot FXS hardware by checking the following sections:
Software Compatibility
To ensure that your FXS card is compatible with your software, check the following:
- For network modules inserted into Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, and Cisco 3700 series, check the Overview of Cisco Network Modules for Cisco Access Routers.
- For interface cards inserted into Cisco 1600 series, Cisco 1700 series, Cisco 2600 series, Cisco 3600 series, Cisco 3700 series, and Cisco ICS 7750 platforms, check Voice Interface Cards.
Two types of cabling are supported for Cisco FXS interfaces. They are described in the following sections:
|For FXS connections, use a 2-wire (RJ-11) cable. A 4-wire cable can cause the second port to busy out.
RJ-11 Connectors
The two-port and four-port FXS interface cards support the RJ-11 connector. Illustrations of the connector ports are shown in Figure: Two-Port FXS Card Front Panel and Figure: Four-Port FXS/DID Card Front Panel. Information about LEDs can be found in Voice Interface Cards.
Figure: Two-Port FXS Card Front Panel
Figure: Four-Port FXS/DID Card Front Panel
For information about the VIC-2FXS interface card, refer to Understanding Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Voice Interface Cards, document ID 7938.
RJ-21 Connectors on the High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module
The High-Density Analog Telephony network module supports an RJ-21 connector. This network module supports both FXS and FXO traffic. An illustration of the connector port is shown in Figure: High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module. Information about LEDs and pinouts can be found in Connecting High-Density Analog Telephony Network Modules to a Network.
Figure: High-Density Analog Telephony Network Module
Shutdown Port
If the port is not working, be sure the port is not shut down. Enter the show voice port command with the voice port number that you are troubleshooting. The output will tell you:
- If the voice port is up. If it is not, use the no shutdown command to make it active.
- What parameter values have been set for the voice port, including default values (which do not appear in the output from the 'show running-config' command). If these values do not match those of the telephony connection you are making, reconfigure the voice port.
Disabling a Port on a Multiple Port Card
If you shut down a port on a multiple-port card, you can disable all of the ports on that card. If only one port is bad and the others are working, in many cases you can disable the bad port and then use the working ports until a replacement arrives. To disable a bad port, use one of the following methods:
- On a Cisco universal gateway, such as the Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, Cisco AS5800, and Cisco AS5850, busy out the port using the busyout command. This setting allows the port to be taken out of service without disrupting the Cisco IOS configuration. See the product documentation for details:
- On other Cisco gateways, remove the port from the dial peer. Refer to Dial Peer Configuration on Voice Gateway Routers to configure the dial peer.
Ring Voltage Problems
Telephone exchanges and FXSs need to supply DC battery and AC ringing to enable the connected telephone equipment to transmit speech energy and to power the telephone equipment's ringing device. This section discusses what voltages are supplied by various Cisco FXS interfaces and how to overcome some known issues regarding voltage levels.
Ringing Voltages
The industry standard for PBX and key systems requires that the ring detection circuit be able to detect a ringing signal as low as 40 Vrms. This voltage takes into account the effects of load and cabling voltage drop on a ringing signal generated from a central office (CO). Conversely, the CO (exchange) must supply ringing with enough power to drive the maximum load over the maximum cable length. In order to meet this requirement, a CO-based unit must present a ringing signal with an amplitude of approximately 85 to 100 Vrms. Cisco voice gateways are intended for use as on premise services (ONS) equipment that is colocated or fairly close to equipment that detects ringing, so it can therefore use a lower ringing voltage and still meet the 40 Vrms 5 Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) requirement.
Idle Battery Voltage
Cisco voice gateways were designed for ONS connections and by default the FXS interface supplies either -24 Vdc or -36 Vdc idle battery, whereas off premise services, such as a CO, would require voltages of -48 V because it might have to interconnect over much greater cable lengths. Certain Cisco FXS interfaces can be configured to supply higher voltages.
Idle Line Voltages
Table: FXS Idle Voltage shows idle line voltages supplied by various Cisco gateway FXS interfaces.
Table: FXS Idle Voltage
|FXS Interface
|Idle Voltage
-24V (low) -48V (high)
ASI 81 and ASI 160
-24V (low) -48V (high)
IAD 24xx-FXS
-24V (low) -48V (high)
-24V (low) -48V (high)
Ring Voltage Problems
Voltage problems can cause three types of problems:
- Answering and Call Initiation Problems with Automated Telephony Devices
- Ringing Problems
- FXS Ring Failure in the United Kingdom
Certain automated devices, such as fax machines, answer machines, multiline phones and voice mail systems, look at the line voltage in order to deduce if the line is busy or idle. If another device is off hook, then the line voltage drops, and the automated system does not answer or initiate a call. If the threshold being used is close to -24 V or higher, this can cause the device not to work as expected.
Certain phones might not ring when the default ring voltage and ring frequency are applied from the Cisco FXS interface.
Answering and Call Initiation Problems with Automated Telephony Devices
In voice port configuration mode, configure the idle-voltage command on the voice port of the FXS to increase idle battery voltage from -24 V to -48 V. The idle-voltage low setting designates -24 V and the idle-voltage high setting designates -48 V.
|This option is not available on VG248, VIC-2FXS, and WS-x6624 FXS interfaces.
Ringing Problems
Phone manufacturers sometimes use frequency filters known as antitinkle circuits to prevent ringer devices from sounding while the user is dialing. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the frequency of the ring to suit the connected device.
Configure the ring frequency for Cisco modular access routers by issuing the following command:
Router(config-voiceport)# ring frequency ? 25 ring frequency 25 Hertz 50 ring frequency 50 Hertz
Configure the ring frequency for the Cisco IAD2400 platform by issuing the following command:
Router(config-voiceport)# ring frequency ? 20 ring frequency 20 Hertz 30 ring frequency 30 Hertz
To prevent ringer devices from sounding, you can also provide a voltage threshold so that the lower voltages, which can be produced during dialing, are ignored. Increasing the voltage can overcome this.
Configure the DC offset voltage on Cisco IAD2400 series routers by issuing the following command:
Router(config-voiceport)# ring dc-offset ? 10-volts Ring DC offset 10 volts 20-volts Ring DC offset 20 volts 24-volts Ring DC offset 24 volts
|This command sequence can be used only for Cisco IAD2400 series routers. The 24-V ring DC offset setting is available for Cisco IOS 12.2(11)T and later releases.
FXS Ring Failure in the United Kingdom
A telephone approved for the United Kingdom might fail to ring when connected to a Cisco FXS port. The failure results from a physical interoperability issue and is independent of Cisco hardware or software. British Telecom did not implement RJ-11 type connectors when it adopted plug-and-socket connection methodology. RJ-11 connectors allow parallel connectivity for the transmission path and the ringer circuit. They were not used because older telephones needed to have their ringer circuits connected in series due to a requirement for high current.
Outside the United Kingdom, ringer circuitry is self-contained in each phone. The U.K. implementation puts the capacitor, which provides the AC ring path, and the antitinkle feature (prevents the bell or ringer from sounding when pulse dialing is used) externally in the first socket, connected to the local loop.
In the United Kingdom, certain British Approval Board for Telecommunications (BABT) telephones fail to ring when they are connected to FXS ports on Cisco voice-enabled routers and switches. Outgoing calls can be made and voice communication in both directions can be established. However, incoming calls do not ring the telephone. These telephones functioned correctly before they were connected to the FXS ports.
Because a proprietary connection system is implemented, you must use an adapter to connect the telephone to an FXS port. The adapter must be a master that contains the capacitor, or the telephone fails to ring.
For a schematic and more information, refer to Understanding Why Telephones in the United Kingdom Connected to Cisco FXS Interfaces May Fail to Ring, document ID 25800.
Unbreakable Dial Tone
A common problem encountered in a VoIP network is being unable to break dial tone. The router seizes a line on the local PBX but when digits are dialed, the dial tone stays. The calling party is unable to pass the dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones or digits to the terminating device, resulting in callers being unable to dial the desired extension or interact with a device that needs DTMF tones such as a voice mail or an interactive voice response (IVR) application. This problem can result from a number of sources, for example:
- DTMF tones are not passed.
- DTMF tones are not understood.
- DTMF tones are too distorted to be understood.
- Other signaling and cabling issues occur.
Make sure the dial type is set as DTMF on both the router and the PBX. The FXS port does not pass on the digits; therefore, this setting is not available on an FXS port. However, this setting can be changed on FXO and E&M ports:
Router(config-voiceport)# dial-type ? dtmf touch-tone dialer mf mf-tone dialer pulse pulse dialer
For more information, refer to Inability To Break Dialtone in a Voice over IP Network, document ID 22376.
No LED When Phone Off the Hook
Verify if you have an analog or digital card. If you have an analog card like the VIC-2FXS or the VIC2-4FXS, you might have one of the following problems:
- The port is in a shutdown state.
- The port is in a park state.
- The port is bad.
If you have a digital card like the NM-2V, you might have bad DSPs.
Use the following procedure if there is no LED when your phone is off hook:
- Check the cable to make sure that it is RJ-11 with two pins for the FXS port.
- Test the LED using a different phone.
- Check your Cisco IOS version to make sure that the feature set is either IP Plus or Enterprise Plus.
- If Steps 1 to 3 do not work, replace the voice interface card (VIC).


text: Director liability for competition law breaches - the CMA's first UK director disqualification Antitrust Alert Share this 2 DEC 2016 By: Sam Szlezinger Alexandra Kamerling Sarah Smith Louisa Mottaz Financial penalties being imposed on companies for breaches of competition law are well known, particularly because of the very significant amounts involved. However, fines are only one aspect. In the UK, along with lots of other countries (including at least 19 of the 28 EU Member States, the US, Australia, and Hong Kong, to name a few), there can also be consequences for the individuals involved. In the UK, any individual can be fined, or the CMA can seek the disqualification of a director for a period of up to 15 years [1]. On 1 December, the the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced that it had secured the first UK director disqualification undertaking after Daniel Aston, the managing director of the online poster supplier Trod Ltd (Trod) agreed not to act as a director of any UK company for 5 years. This follows from the CMA's decision on 12 August 2016 finding that Trod breached competition law by agreeing with GB eye Ltd (GB eye, one of Trod's competitors) that they would not undercut each other's prices on particular products sold on the Amazon.co.uk marketplace. The CMA also launched a campaign to ensure online sellers know how to avoid breaking UK competition law, by reminding them that discussing and agreeing price levels with competitors is illegal, and can result in serious penalties. Disqualification undertaking The CMA has the power to apply to the court for an order disqualifying a director from holding company directorships or performing certain roles in relation to a company for a specified period. However, the CMA also has the power to accept a disqualification undertaking from a director instead of the CMA bringing proceedings. Mr Aston offered a director disqualification undertaking which states that he will not "without the leave of the court be a director of a company or act as a receiver of a company's property; or in any way, whether directly or indirectly, be concerned or take part in the promotion, formation or management of a company; or act as an insolvency practitioner." The CMA's approach The CMA takes a relatively balanced approach when considering whether a director should be disqualified by considering the level of the director's involvement, their awareness of the wrong-doing and their subsequent behaviour, such as cooperation with the investigation. In contrast, in Ireland for example, director disqualification is automatic following a criminal conviction. However, the CMA wants to clearly demonstrate that those who show a disregard for the rules and breach competition law will be punished. It should be noted that GB eye obtained immunity from fines for having blown the whistle and it is the CMA's policy not to seek disqualifications of directors of leniency applicants. This policy helps protect the incentive for whistle-blowers to come forward and encourages cooperation with the CMA's investigation. However, it has been the CMA's stated intention to use this sanction for some time and its use is likely to increase. Compliance is a necessity Director disqualifications are seen by competition authorities across Europe as having a powerful deterrent effect due to the negative reputational and professional consequences it can have on the individuals involved, especially if the director's name is made public (as in the present case). In addition to the burden for companies having to pay fines, the other deterrent effect is having to search for new management, which could have a crippling effect on a company. Companies should always make sure that: (i) they have effective and up-to-date compliance policies and training in place for all employees; and (ii) directors engage with the compliance activities because they can be held directly accountable for any breaches. If a competition law breach is discovered or if there is any doubt over the level of compliance, legal advice should be sought in order to pro-actively take steps to protect the company, its directors and employees. [1] Under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986. The court must make a disqualification order against a person if: (i) a company of which he is a director has breached competition law; and (ii) the court considers that his conduct as a director makes him unfit to be concerned in the management of a company

Police charged a South Side (Chicago) man with animal cruelty after officers say they watched him take a running start and kick his kitten 15 feet to 18 feet into the air before raising his arms to signal a successful field goal.
He told the arresting officers: "This is my cat, Nightmare. He is tough, we play like that all the time. It's just a cat," police said.
