BlizzCon 2013: Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Hands-On Preview
This year, not only did Blizzard announce its first expansion for Diablo 3, titled Reaper of Souls, but also the removal of the game's controversial auction house. They appear to be doing everything to make Diablo 3 the game fans wanted, but does its vision translate into reality?
Upon entering the selection screen, I was quick to select Crusader, not only because it's the new class for Reaper of Souls, but because it stands out. Its ornate armor looks fantastic, and its use of a shield makes it an easy choice for anyone who loved Paladin in Diablo 2. And, I mean really, who doesn't want to swing around a flail? Few games let you play with such a ridiculously dangerous weapon.
After making my character, I was very excited to select Adventure Mode from the menu. I spent over 150 hours running through the linear halls of Diablo 3's original acts, so being able to skip around the game world with new objectives is something that adds a whole new dimension to the game. As I expected, I was presented with tons of options. Blizzard's philosophy of "go anywhere, slay anything" rings true, as I was able to see every waypoint in the game displayed within an interesting view of the game's world map, along with a variety of kill objectives.
I chose one of my favorite areas of Act IV and was given the goal of slaying a minion with unique traits. Hunting down my prey rewarded me with a Rift Keystone, which afforded me access to the game's new Nephalem Rifts. These randomized zones are highly unpredictable and filled with monsters of all types. As a Diablo 3 veteran, it was like experiencing the original game without order. The map was as unfamiliar as the swarms of varied enemies that charged toward me. I would reap generous rewards from their corpses.
I then chose to enter Story mode to get a feel of what the new areas are like. The zone that I would leave in ruin after about 30 minutes of play was reminiscent of the first Act with dark, gothic visuals, but outdoor areas were much more prominent. The enemies felt very refined with mechanics that were deadly but observable. For example, the Summoner would defile the ground and summon ghosts, while the Punisher sought to smash me into the stone floor. Prioritization and awareness is as important as ever for surviving Reaper of Souls' challenges.
Entering one of the new area's dungeons I noticed that the map layout was different than another player sitting next to me. Blizzard has put a lot of work into a new dungeon map randomizer, and it's already impressive in its current state. This welcomed randomization means that Diablo 3 is less predictable and you'll feel compelled to enter the game's many optional dungeons. The days of stagnant grinding are hopefully a thing of the past.
During this time I got a good feel for the Crusader, and I'm happy to report that it fits extremely well into the current lineup of classes. In a way it's a hybrid that can perform admirably at close range with plenty of durability, but really shines with its mid-range prowess. Its skillset is very disruptive to enemies with knockbacks and powerful AoE attacks. It also interweaves useful support abilities that Monk fans will find delightful. It doesn't stray too far from Barbarian's Fury with its Wrath mechanic, but it does manage to feel like it has an identity by making use of a flail, shield, and flashy effects that Paladin fans will find familiar. Everything it uses is magical, even its Steed Charge that summons a magical horse to ride for 3 seconds—my new favorite ability in the game.
For those who haven't had a chance to play one of the console versions of Diablo 3, this expansion has a lot of surprises up its sleeve. It's still Diablo 3, but with the much-needed improvements to its loot system. There is no more auction house, and that means when you get a drop you have a greater reason to be excited. To balance this, drop rates have been completely reworked; I happened to come across 2 legendaries during about an hour and a half of play, and one was an upgrade for my Crusader. There was no thought about "how much can I get on the auction house for this?". Instead, it's about whether or not it's an upgrade for one of your characters or if one of your friends would find it useful. Diablo is back.
From what I can tell, the new loot has stylish design. A set of shoulder armor and a shiny new mace made me stand out from the other players playing Crusaders at Blizzcon.
I had a chance to play the game on PS4 and PC, and both were excellent. I must say that playing Diablo from a controller really is better than I ever would have imagined. It's a bit more relaxing to play without the micro capabilities of a mouse. That said, there's something about playing on PC that really makes you feel like a pro.
Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls is everything a Diablo fan can hope for from an expansion. It refines the core values of the game, adds a fun new class, and a wealth of new features to enjoy. Truthfully, when the expansion comes out Diablo 3 won't even be recognizable anymore. This expansion completely overhauls the experience to make it much more captivating.
You can enjoy what it has to offer next year when it comes out for PS4 and PC. Look out for beta details soon.

Forums → Games → Sinjid Lag
It lags a lot on my PC. And it has nothing to do with the quality settings. I mean playing it on Medium/High is better than playing it on Low. My PC is Dual Core 2GHz, VGA is 700MB, RAM-2GB. I mean it has to be enough to play a flash game. lol
Anyone else having the same problem?
- 3 Replies
Hi Pinchfire.
Yeah, I completely get what you mean. I've played some high-end games on my PC which require nVidia graphics cards and they work fine on high quality on my computer - I have a Quad Core Phenom 1.8 GHz with 4GB RAM and nvidia GeForce graphics card.
It seems that Sinjid plays fairly well at med/high quality but slower on low. I also get lag with other flash games too.
Basically, you're not the only one :/
sinjid sucks
LOL i love how there's like super sophisticated posts then there's just this one guy that's like "sinjid sucks"
well yeah anyways i get the same lag too i mean , i think it's the ads, really. i mean they're flash aren't they ?

Tansen : A Glimpse of The Journey of an Artist
Tansen, a beautiful play about the journey of an artist is presented by The Dramatic Art and Design Association. Written by Mohammad Faheem and Sudheer Rikhari and directed by Govind Singh Yadav, talks about the journey every artist has. The cast of the play includes senior theatre actors like Sudheer Rikhari, Mohammad Faheem and Ridhima Bagga.
An artist's journey of an endless search is filled with ups and downs, acceptance and rejection, pain and satisfaction. The play "Tansen" explores this journey through the life of the legendary Tansen. The play begins with a dilemma about "Ibadat"(worship) and "Ishq"(love). Is the search of a destination called love or is losing oneself in that search called love? The intention is to talk about the dilemmas of an artist and explore the factors that make an artist feel liberated and also what makes him feel caught in his own emotions, expectations and pride.
"Tansen" is not only a documentation of Tansen's life but also a parallel search of an artist that is never ending.
The performance aspect of the play includes a wide range of theatrical devices. It consists of the three major elements of performing arts namely music, dance and drama which are blend together to say the story. The play also focuses on the journey of Hindustani classical music from its origin where it was performed in the form of "Dhrupad" till today's "Khayal Gaayaki". Therefore, it includes live music ranging from Dhrupad, Qawwali, Hori to Khayal Gaayaki along with live instruments namely Sitar, Tabla, Pakhawaj, Harmonium and Tanpura that give a different flavour to the play.
To get a glimpse of the cultural, musical and philosophical aspect of Indian history, this play is a must watch.
5 Memorable Moments of The Bollywood's Legendary Icon Shashi Kapoor
Shashi Kapoor is a member of the Kapoor family, a film dynasty in India's cinema, and is the third and the youngest son of Prithviraj Kapoor, the younger brother of Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor.
Shashi Kapoor made his debut as a leading man in the 1961 film Dharmputra and went on to appear in 116 Hindi films, including 61 films as the solo lead hero and 55 multi star-cast films, 21 films as supporting actor and seven films in a special appearance. He was a very popular actor in Bollywood during the 60s, 70s and until the mid 80s. He has also acted in numerous English and American films, making him one of India's first actors to go international.
5 of Shashi Kapoor's most memorable moments
1. Mesmerising dialogues like "Mere Paas Maa Hai"
2. Truly mesmerizing songs like 'Yeh Raasta Hai Zindagi'
3. Shashi Kapoor's Unique Dance
4. In 2011, Shashi Kapoor was honoured with the Padma Bhushan by the Government of India for his contributions to Art-Cinema. In 2015, he was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, making him the third member of his family to receive the highest award in Indian Cinema, after his father and brother Prithviraj Kapoor and Raj Kapoor, respectively.
5. Shashi acted in plays directed and produced by his father Prithviraj Kapoor, while travelling with Prithvi Theatres.
He started acting in films as a child in the late 1940s, using the name 'Shashiraj', as there was another actor at the time by his real name. As a child star, his best known performances were in Aag (1948) and Awaara (1951), where he played the younger version of the characters played by his older brother Raj Kapoor, and in Sangram (1950), where he played younger version of Ashok Kumar.
Shashi Kapoor's career spanned Indian and international cinema. He was as renowned for his theatre work as he was for movies. Shashi Kapoor was married to actress Jennifer Kendal and is survived by his sons Karan and Kunal and daughter Sanjana Kapoor.
Shashi Kapoor's versatility could be seen in his movies as well as in theatre, which he promoted with great passion. His brilliant acting will be remembered for generations to come. The entire country has been saddened by his demise. Our condolences to his family and admirers.
A Powerful Song on Delhi's Pollution That You Need to Hear Right Now
Residents in Delhi-NCR woke up to a thick cover of smog on the morning of 7 November, with several parts of the capital region reporting lowest visibility this season yet. Some thought it was the winter setting in, that is until one looked at the alarming pollution levels. The average air quality was 403 as per AQI, which lies in the 'very poor' category.
While several residents took to social media to post images of the low visibility due to the smog cover, journalists shared startling statistics about air quality. Within few hours #Smog became the top trend on Twitter. With poor air quality levels being recorded in parts of Punjab too.
Recently, Shivangi and Vasudev from Coverette made a composition, Dilli Chup Gaya, dedicating to the life of people living in Delhi.
Coverette is an Indian Duo who make covers, mashups and they even plan to release originals in no time. The Duo, Vasudev Chandna and Shivangi Meena, consists of two 18 year old who started their YouTube Channel two months back to deliver to the world what they've got, their undying love for Music! They've just started and there's a lot more to come.

Don't Judge People on Skin Colour, Every Skin Glows : Sejal Kumar
Recently Sejal Kumar travelled to different cities in India and spoke to 6 gorgeous girls about what beautiful skin tone/color means to them and what their opinion on skin tone/color discrimination is. It was a week full of new experiences, conversations and thoughts. Skin colour discrimination is still so prevalent in our society but it is great to see these girls having such strong opinions against it and how they held their own against such norms!
Beauty of a dark skin can only be seen by a good soul. Judgments based on the skin tone is not just a mental problem but is also a larger social problem.
The change has to begin with an individual. One has to believe in their beauty irrespective of their skin tone. One is not the colour of their skin but instead the opinions they make and carry.
A comment on your skin tone does not tell as much about one's physical attributes, as it tells about their mental and emotional attributes.

De Taali Nehraji Ft Ashish Nehra | Breakfast With Champions
Storyteller par excellence, Ashish Nehra is the ageless warhorse. Through injury and pain, he's played for India for almost 2 decades, quite an achievement for a fast bowler who's undergone 12 surgeries. There is never a dull moment with Ashish Nehra in the house.
Ready for yet another international comeback, veteran Ashish Nehra is hardly bothered about the doubters and cynics as he revels in the feeling of being a sought after pacer for India at the age of 38.
Nehra has been recalled to the side for a three-match T20 series (the only format that he plays), having last competed for the country against England, earlier this year. He had suffered an injury during the IPL after the England assignment at home.
"Who isn't happy if he is playing for India? I have never been bothered by criticism. The Indian dressing room knows what I bring to the table. The skipper knows it, the selectors know it. If I am in the team, definitely, I must be contributing something," Nehra told PTI on Monday.

Maanvi Gagroo : The First Lady of Indian Web Series
Maanvi Gagroo, born on 5 September 1985, hasn't been from the world of lights, camera, and action. Away from all the glamour, she had a protected and loving childhood in Delhi. But the bug had caught her early in her acting career. She still managed to go back to Delhi and finish her graduation and then it was clear to her that Mumbai is the city, where she wanted to be. Equipped with a Psychology degree Maanvi never looked back.
Maavi is not new to the camera. You might have discovered her recently, but she had been in entertainment industry for ten years now. She debuted with a Disney TV series, Dhoom Machao Dhoom (DMD), in 2007, did a series of Idea ads with Abhishek Bachchan in 2011, and had minor roles in films like No One Killed Jessica (2011) and PK (2014).
From being a familiar face on Telly, to be a highly popular name in Web series circuit via TVF Pitchers 2015, Maanvi shot to fame with one of India's earliest web series, Pitchers. She also played a strong character Chanchal in TVF Tripling , which is primarily a sibling road-trip drama show. While growing up, Gagroo realised that she had a passion for dance after she received training in kathak at the age of 12.
Maanvi has been part of interesting videos with Being Indian like "Every Bombay Girl in the World". One has to agree that Maanvi made the character looked lively and realistic.
During her time at the theater, she came in touch with Nidhi Bisht who introduced her to the world of The Viral Fever and since then she had been hooked onto it.
Gagroo's character in Pitchers is self-aware which is a stark contrast to her previous work as that chirpy girl. The stint on Pitchers got her an audition for TVF Tripling as Chanchal, the middle child among three siblings. It is an unusual story of a road trip with immediate family, Tripling looks like TVF's most elaborate venture so far, and was shot for over a month across northern India. She co-stars with Sumeet Vyas and Amol Parashar.
Even today, Maanvi loves her morning siesta time and makes sure she catches up with her family and friends during those few days she isn't working. She has a fundamental belief that, having a family which is totally cut off from the glam world keeps he sane and grounded. She believes one of the biggest challenges in her life has been growing up and it would be great if we all could just go back to your childhood and be carefree once again.
Maanvi also shared that how she often wonders if she hadn't pursued acting and ended up getting a normal job, had a family, kids and everything that her peers are doing how different would her life be! In moments like these, Maanvi steps back and remembers why exactly she decided to follow her passion and it always brings her right back to the wonderful reality.
In one line Maanvi Gangroo is a passionate actress and a great human being.

Iron Bridge and Riverbank

Painter Chua Hu's two most important themes in his series of works in the 1970s are "iron bridge" and "river bank." The 8th issue of Taiwan's Hsiung Shih Art Monthly published in October 1971 carried a translated article "Chua Hu and His Paintings" written by the Philippines' highly respected art historian Jesus T. Peralta. With regard to the "iron bridge" works, Peralta mentioned that Chua "becomes more abstract while dealing with natural forms than before. It is believed that he will perhaps completely give up or at least reduce the constructional elements in his future works."
Looking at Chua's brilliant works of Iron Bridge and Riverbank which were created in 1974, one will realize that Peralta's prediction is quite true. In the work combing the theme of "iron bridge" with that of "river bank," the painter seems to give a Western oil painting the look of a Chinese water-ink painting. He treats blue with black ink and lets oil paints naturally play up and run through a canvas on their own courses. Meantime, he also uses "white space" to create a contrast between darkness and brightness in order to give a sense of space. With strokes, it enhances the painting with a sense of "force and energy". Such an arrangement gives the whole painting an indescribably dream-like and indistinct beauty.
Chua Hu's was once asked about the "purpose of painting" during an interview in his younger days. He answered: "The purpose for which I am engaged in art work is to make use of new art forms to add glory to the great Chinese landscape paintings." The accomplishment of the Iron Bridge and Riverbank indeed offers a proof of his own manifesto. In the pictorial form, he allows himself to be closer to Western abstraction whereas his pictorial contents are more Chinese. Iron Bridge and Riverbank can be said to constitute a very crucial "milestone" in his art career.

Dear Danny,
another year, another tantrum from a real bad baby called Danny. Don't like what you see? I can't blame you. Your tender little tot arms are like pork legs compared to these Schwerer Gustavs I'm rolling out 24/7 and looking great doing it. Do you know what a tabard is, Danny? Of course not, because only bronzed barbarians in their physiosexual prime can wear a shirt that doesn't even have sides. It doesn't have sides, Danny, do you know why?
Because a shirt can't handle me anymore. I'm evolving. Cenegenics is involving me into a posthuman powergrandpa. I'm better than I've ever been. My balls have shrunk to the size of goldfish eyes but I just hammer harder, do you know what I mean, Danny? Of course not. Of course not.
You want a Hammersmith Viking God body you got to do three things. I will give you those things. Put the candy down. Put away the Nintendos.
First one is easy. Get old.
Number two, crazy upper body routine. I'm talking side scoots, ninety kilo kettlebells on full rotations, triple rep double sets, wagon tongues with and without the extensions, full glute roll ups and then do it all over and with the gym heat up to like 500 degrees. And if you don't got a gym, Danny, if there's no gym in that wasteland of fatty little lardos, then you just pop a hunk of concrete and rebar out of the wall and go to town.
Step three. Phase out all food and fluid and replace with cenegenics. It's all you need. Trust me. Your piss will turn black and your blood will turn like this Barney Dinosaur color. It's perfectly natural. This is caveman diet, minus all the meat and protein and plus whey and cenegenics.
I'm almost there, Danny. One more month and I will break through this.
See you on the other side.
Grandpa Paul.
BREAKING NOW: a story so dangerous that there are those within our government that might kill to keep it from getting out.

In which an all-out barbarian war is fought over a chair that will probably kill you.

^ I am trying to work on the opposite.. accepting some tones other than greyscale and neutrals into my life. the weird thing is, I have some prints, which are quite colorful, and feel fine wearing those - but for some reason, solid pieces of a color, even when it's not bright, makes me feel like a Las Vegas billboard.
I wear a lot of neutrals - black, grey and dark blue. I need to integrate more colour. I love red, but I don't have any. ):

i wore my top from the yohji ss11 collection the other day at work...
i felt so relaxed and so free...
it's so easy to forget how amazing some clothes can make you feel...
it looks like such a complicated piece of design...and it is...
even more complicated when you really examine it up close...
but it is so simple and easy to wear...
and so comfortable and fabulous...
even got a really nice compliment...
it's amazing what the right clothes can do for you...

I am currently experiencing a lot of changes, mentally speaking, with regards to my personal style. A sort of overhaul. Reducing my closet is on the list of things to do, as well as investing in more quality, timeless pieces, instead of collecting numerous pieces of clothing that are cheaper yet more difficult to style. It seems that this is quite a common point to reach amongst many of us, and although the urge has been there for a long time, I have only just bit the bullet with intentions to change. I am not happy with my bargain acquisitions, and functioning in this way seems to have somehow eclipsed even my opinion of what actually suits me.
This feels slightly difficult to admit to, yet regardless the changes, I was never what you might call a heavy consumer of fast fashion, nor did I opt for terrible quality - but something has simply altered within me, and it appears there is no way of turning back. I am slowly making lists of essentials, dream items, etc, and will make efforts to try the clothes on in real life prior to purchasing online (previously a huge mistake for me!). I will try to pop back in at a later date with my progress - which will be oh so slow, since I will have to save for quite some time before I can indulge in what I actually need.

^i feel the exact same. i have been bargain shopping and rarely getting something that is perhaps a little more expensive but what i generally love and is easy to style. i want to get more classic items, however, i am quite lost as to what essentials should be in every girls closet. any help?
flaunt the imperfection
^^^that varies greatly depending on your age, location, lifestyle, shape...etc...
but i can almost tell that you are both in your late teens or early twenties based on what is going on with your personal style...
it is pretty common around that age...you're not imagining that a lot of people around you are going through it...
it's a bit like growing pains...but in the style dept...
but you want to start with the basics-the underpinnings...
and then build your way up from there...
so- start with great fitting pants...then some skirts...then some nice blouses and t-shirts...
*a good bra should be on that list as well---actually, you'll need at least three...
then you can add more fun things...
like accessories and cardigans and jackets...
that's how to build a wardrobe...one that will last as long as your size doesn't change...
it takes time and it's like a living, breathing thing...always growing and shifting slightly...
like a lifelong journey in style...
and it's FUN>>>....!!!...

^ wow , your good! hah, i am in my late teens: 18 to be exact. and thank you for your advice! i guess, everything just takes time. instead of thinking about changing my closet dramatically, i should do it item by item. and just buy less items but quality ones that i love.

Oh god, I am mid thirties, haha!
I think that it is possible to become a little lost, or distracted at any age, really. It was something that I rarely gave much thought to previously, due to so many of life's other distractions. Although I always had a passion for clothing and style, I had been far too busy to care, until a sort of resurgence in my early thirties. Although I have generally always possessed my 'own style', it has only recently begun to alter, to change, and perhaps these are little epiphanies that can occur at any point? I don't know! I've met a few other thirtysomethings who have recently come to this weird impasse, so it has at least been comforting to know that I am not alone.

i do think that it happens every time you pass another decade actually...
i blame it on society and all those stupid magazine articles about
'what to wear when you are XX age...'
i think i have decided that the age doesn't matter...
it's what kind of shape you are in...
and what still actually looks good on you...
and what you still feel comfortable in...
*this is assuming you have some sense and aren't actually delusional enough to think that you look good when you look absolutely awful...

I also always go through such phases when big changes in my life - from outside or inside - occur. It's almost as if my wardrobe were a extension of my personality/life and when changes occur I feel the need to adjust it.

front row
I have been wondering what sparked mine, but cannot single any particular event or crisis - yet! All that I am aware of at present is that I had purchased one poor quality garment too many, and the sheer expense of this over a long period of time finally settled upon me, uncomfortably. I was actually quite furious, and almost immediately began to bag up the clothes which no longer satisfied me with a view to sending them to charity shops. Several months later I haven't gone back, so it was most likely final for me. There were stores which I had sworn by previously, that I have never even looked in since. So yes, after purchasing something bad, once too often (and perhaps several times in a row) it seems that I was shaken awake.

guys i need your help!
i have an hourglass figure - i have boobs, hips and a tiny waist. plus i'm tiny, only 160cm.
i really love Olivia Palermo's and VB's style, but they're slim, flat and with no butt! so things that look great on them would make me look fat etc.
could you please recommend some celebs that have similar body to mine and a good style... because i love to follow celebs' style here on tFS and get inspired by them

chaos reigns
^Nigella Lawson .. hands down! (she may be a bit bigger than you but she does embody the whole hourglass figure celeb)
And here´s my q. : Im attending THE fashion show of the year in my country tomorrow .. but I have no idea about what to wear .. I was thinking of highwater pants, a dress shirt and a nice jacket .. but because of the fact that Im a stylist for this mag, I feel like I have to push it a little bit ... like a pocketsquare? I love hats, but fashion shows ALWAYS get really hot .. and on top of it, we are on the rainy season (and its at night) so Im a bit undecided .. any pointers would help.

Esty was the only Connecticut Democrat to approve World Wrestling pork
I find it hard to understand how a Connecticut Democrat could vote to empower the Army National Guard to continue to spend $5 million in recruiting promotion money with World Wrestling Entertainment, the creation of failed U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon.
Hasn't everyone in Connecticut had enough of McMahon and her money-minting WWE?
How could you go to Washington and agree with sending $5 million in defense pork back to a company whose programming, endlessly dissected here during McMahon's two unsuccessful self-financed Senate campaigns, defines sleazy.
Actually, most of the Connecticut delegation had the good sense to vote against spending more National Guard money with WWE.
Only U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, the new congresswoman in the Fifth District, who is married to the state's chief energy commissioner, Daniel C. Esty, voted last week against an amendment to the defense bill that would have eliminated National Guard spending with WWE, NASCAR and the Indy Race League, now $53 million, including $5.1 million to WWE.
This smart amendment, introduced by U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota, lost on a 290-134 vote in the Republican-controlled House.
It would have forced the National Guard to follow the example of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, which have all terminated NASCAR sponsorships.
"At a time of enormous federal budget deficits, endless borrowing from China, sequestration's harming military readiness, and deep cuts to services for vulnerable children, seniors and people with disabilities, the Army National Guard is spending over $53 million to have its logo highlighted at World Wrestling Entertainment events and to sponsor NASCAR and IndyCar racing," McCollum said in the debate on her amendment on the floor of the House.
And then, as if she had also lived through two long McMahon races here in Connecticut, as the wrestling impresario spent $100 million trying to score a Senate seat, McCollum added: "The fact that $53 million in taxpayer funds is going to sponsor some of the most violent and sexist entertainment on television and NASCAR racing teams that result in zero recruits is a waste of money and it should be stopped."
I checked in with Esty's office Tuesday, since she was the only Connecticut representative to vote to continue the WWE and NASCAR funding.
A spokesman for the congresswoman said in a statement that the amendment as drafted would not save money and that Esty did not want to hinder the ability of the National Guard to recruit and retain soldiers.
The amendment language would have prohibited payments for professional wrestling entertainment sponsorships or motor sports sponsorships, which now total $53 million, but did not include a specific amount.
"While Elizabeth understands the perspective of her colleagues who voted differently on the McCollum amendment, as an elected official and as someone whose 20-year-old niece is currently serving in Kabul, she is also sensitive to the recruiting needs of our all-volunteer military," the spokesman said in his statement. "Her vote was not about the WWE, and she's not a fan of the WWE."
I don't really care whether the congresswoman is a fan of WWE. I just wish she had joined other Connecticut Democrats in sending a message that, in these times of tight federal budgets, the spigot for lucrative federal sports sponsorships, like $29 million to a single NASCAR race driver, should stop.

Brussels Hopes Poland Will Not Veto Russia Accord
Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen (file photo) (AFP) November 17, 2006 -- The European Commission today said it hopes Poland will not use its veto to prevent the EU and Russia from replacing an EU-Russia partnership agreement due to expire next year.
Poland has said Russia must first lift a ban on imports of some Polish food.
Moscow says the ban was imposed because of health concerns.
Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen, whose country currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, is due in Warsaw on November 17 for talks aimed at settling the dispute.

His most notable work was done for the [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Leon Schlesinger cartoon studio]] during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation, having three seperate stints at the place.Initially, Tashlin cut his teeth working for [[Creator/{{Terrytoons}} Paul Terry]] as an animator on the ''Aesops Film Fables'' series of cartoons, only to quickly drift off to another animation stint at Creator/VanBeurenStudios. Finally, in 1932, he found work at the then-rising WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] cartoon studio, working as an animator, while working on a short lived comic strip in his spare time called ''Van Boring'', the name being obvious jab at his previous boss. When Leon tried to swindle Frank into giving him a cut of the comics profits, Frank told him to shove it and promptly lost his job as a result. Once again adrift, he did a brief stint at the Creator/UbIwerks cartoon studio in 1934, only to leave in 1935 for Creator/HalRoachStudios to be a writer on the ''[[Film/TheLittleRascals Our Gang]]'' series, where he learned quite a bit about live-action film-making, including film-camera techniques.In 1936, Leon managed to lure Tashlin back to his studio, giving him a position as a director there, right during a time when Creator/TexAvery was starting to take the studio away from its Creator/{{Disney}} roots in favor of faster paced, more cartoony shorts. Frank jumped right in, getting off to a good head start with "Porky's Poultry Plant", where he adapted live action style fast-cutting and dynamic camera angles into his cartoons, giving them a cinematic, energetic feeling lacking from Creator/TexAvery and Creator/FrizFreleng's cartoon shorts. Despite this, he wasn't particularly happy due to him being stuck working on WesternAnimation/PorkyPig cartoons, which Tashlin later admitted was his least favorite character.However, he left the studio again, with his crew being handed over to Creator/ChuckJones, while he to work for Creator/{{Disney}} in 1938 to 1940, where he began story work on Walt's proposed MickeyMouse feature, which would later evolve into the Mickey and the Beanstalk segment of ''Disney/FunAndFancyFree''.In 1941, he found work at Creator/ColumbiaCartoons, where he directed three short cartoons, one of them being the first of Columbia's star series ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheCrow''--the short in question, "The Fox and the Grapes" was the first cartoon to use a "blackout gag" format, which director Creator/ChuckJones would cite as an influence on his [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Road Runner]] cartoons.He would once again return to Creator/WarnerBros in 1943, this time bringing a stylized, magazine-like angular designs to his new shorts. Some of these later shorts of his had noticeable sexual themes, particularly ''WesternAnimation/PlaneDaffy'' (which had a FemmeFataleSpy character named [[UsefulNotes/MataHari Hata Mari]], whose blond hair and top-heavy hourglass figure would be a reality in the form of Creator/JayneMansfield) and "Stupid Cupid". It's been said that the difference between Creator/BobClampett's cartoons and Frank Tashlin's cartoons in terms of risqué humor is that Tashlin was more polished and subtle while Clampett was broader, wilder, and more adolescent.After his cartoon career ended, Tashlin went on to direct and write for many live action films, most famously the Creator/JayneMansfield comedies ''Film/TheGirlCantHelpIt'' and ''Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?'', and numerous Creator/JerryLewis movies. His films are notable for including live-action versions of cartoon gags, such as the near-sexual reactions of every man who sees Jayne Mansfield's character walk by in ''The Girl Can't Help It'' (such as the ice melting in the ice truck and the milkman's bottle of milk popping and spilling over). He also wrote five books: "The Bear That Wasn't" (1941), "How The Circus Learned to Smile" (1949, "The Possum That Didn't" (1950) and "The World That Isn't" (1951) and a self-help cartooning book "How to Create Cartoons" (1952). He even briefly returned to animation in 1967, adapting one of his children's books "The Bear That Wasn't" into an Creator/{{MGM}} animated short, directed by his former colleague Creator/ChuckJones (which Tashlin didn't like).To get a more deep idea of Tashlin as a person and his history at Warners, an interview of him has been posted by Micheal Barrier [[http://www.michaelbarrier.com/Interviews/Tashlin/tashlin_interview.htm here.]]-----[[folder:Filmography]]!1932* Redskin Blues: A Van Beuren Tom & Jerry short he animated for.!1933* Hook & Ladder Hokum: A Van Beuren Tom & Jerry short.

Todd is a fucking idiot. Endogenous protein induced by the experiment was ruled out by the technique described above. Endogenous protein induced by infection is what has been proven. Viral proteins are produced within the host. It doesn't get any more endogenous than that.

Cossanteli, Veronica The Extincts Illustrated by Roman Muradov. 230 pages. Henry Holt Co., 2016. $16.99. Language: G; Mature Content: G ; Violence: PG
When his bike is stolen, and he realizes that he must earn the money himself if he wants to replace it, George Drake sees a curious green-penned Help Wanted sign in the Candy Shop window and feels confident he is the right person for the job. He's interested in wildlife, like the sign requests, and though he doesn't know what a squamophobe is, he's pretty certain he is not one, like the sign requests. Thus begins his time at Wormestall Farms where the most unusual animals reside. It turns out, though, that he is not the only right person for the job. The new girl from school, Prudence, also follows the Help Wanted sign to the farm. Unfortunately, her stepmom is a crazed taxidermist who is determined to stuff the most amazing creature ever, even if she has to steal rare animals to do so.
This story has three main plot strands: the work at the farm, learning about and caring for the unusual animals (which are thought by others to be either extinct or mythological); George's home and school life, including a budding friendship with Prudence; and thwarting the stepmother's evil schemes. A British import, this is a quirky, imaginative book with lots to recommend it.

Ham Bean Soup Calories
Because of the combination of ham and beans, ham bean soup is rich in protein, a vital nutrient for supporting your body's tissues. However, this soup is also high in carbohydrates and calories, so assess the nutrition facts carefully if you are dieting.
Video of the Day
According to the nutrition information resource MyFitnessPal, one cup of ham bean soup provides 200 calories. If you base your diet on the suggested daily intake of 2,000 calories, then 1 cup of this soup contains 10 percent of your daily calories.
Ham bean soup is high in fat, with 7 g per cup, according to MyFitnessPal. However, only 1 g of this fat is saturated fat, while the rest is unsaturated. MedlinePlus explains that unsaturated fat may reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
MyFitnessPal notes that each cup of ham bean soup provides 11 g of protein. Protein is an essential nutrient that supports muscle mass, among other roles. The Harvard School of Public Health suggests consuming between 20 and 25 percent of your daily calories from protein.
Ham bean soup is also rich in carbohydrates. MyFitnessPal indicates that each cup of ham bean soup contains 29 g of carbohydrates, with 5 g of fiber, a nutrient that promotes feelings of fullness.

THE owners of a Leeds city centre nightclub at the centre of a teen violence and underage drinking controversy have promised the venue won't re-open until "suitable" new management is found.
Bosses at Urban Edge, which owns the La Boheme building in Cross York Street, have taken back the operating licence, closed the club and made the formal undertaking with Leeds council licensing bosses after a dossier of recent troubles was presented by police.
At a meeting yesterday, a licensing subcommittee agreed to adjourn a review of the operating licence, after a legal team for Urban Edge made representations.
The YEP reported earlier this week that West Yorkshire Police had asked for a review after months of problems and dozens of callouts by officers. Alleged problems had included mass brawls involving scores of teenagers, open drug taking and no working CCTV or drug safe. Police said they had "no faith in the management's ability" and risky events were being held to maximise profits regardless of any negative impact.
Paddy Whur, lawyer for Urban Edge, confirmed that just 24 hours earlier, the landlord had taken the operating licence back. The firm has also started legal proceedings against the current management to re-possess the building and take back the keys. A possession hearing is scheduled for April.
The company applied for an adjournment of the review hearing on the basis that the club was no longer operating, and after lengthy deliberations, the panel agreed, despite an objection from police.
Mr Whur told the YEP: "The current operator will not be coming back and there is a legal process for the forfeiture of the lease they have got."
He said the licence will now be offered on the open market to potential new operators.

The process of installing the Identity Reporting Module requires that you run two separate install programs:
Event Auditing Service (EAS) install program
Identity Reporting Module install program
You need to run the EAS install program before running the Identity Reporting Module.
NOTE:You must have the Roles Based Provisioning Module (RBPM) installed before beginning the installation of the reporting module. The reason for this is that the RBPM and the reporting module need to be installed on the same application server so that they can share a secure SSL connection.
The remaining topics in this section provide instructions for running the stand-alone versions of each of these install programs. You can also use the Integrated Installer for Identity Manager, which runs these install programs for you. For more information, see the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Integrated Installation Guide
The Identity Reporting Module relies on the following drivers:
Identity Manager Driver for Data Collection Service
Identity Manager Managed System Gateway Driver
These drivers are installed automatically by the Integrated Installer for Identity Manager, so the steps provided in this section are only necessary if you are running the stand-alone versions of the install programs.
The Event Auditing Service (EAS) runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (32-bit and 64-bit). You need to launch the installer for EAS on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server machine.
NOTE:EAS requires that ksh be installed on the SLES machine. A standard installation of SLES includes ksh. If you remove it, the init.d script will not execute properly.
The reporting module can be installed and run in a variety of environments.
IMPORTANT:The reporting module must have an exclusive EAS running on a separate Linux machine. You cannot have multiple reporting instances communicating with a single EAS environment.
To use the reporting module, you must meet the following system requirements:
Table 2-1 System Requirements for the Identity Reporting Module
Required System Component
System Requirements
Application Server
The reporting module runs on JBoss, WebSphere, and WebLogic as described below.
The reporting module with JBoss 5.1.0 requires JRE 1.6.0-20 from Sun and is supported on:
The reporting module on WebSphere 7.0 requires the IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, J2RE 1.6.0). It is supported on these platforms:
The reporting module on WebLogic 10.3 requires JRockit JVM 1.6.0_05 and is supported on these platforms.
NOTE:The reporting module supports Xen and VMWare virtualization as long as the guest operating system is one that is supported by the reporting module.
Database Server
PostgreSQL 8.4.3. (This is the only database supported with the reporting module.)
eDirectory 8.8 SP6 with Identity Manager 4.0.1
For the list of supported operating systems, see the Identity Manager and eDirectory documentation.
The User Application supports both Firefox and Internet Explorer, as described below.
FireFox 3.6 and 4.0 are supported on:
Internet Explorer 8 and 9 are supported on:
Internet Explorer 7 is supported on:
Uninstalling EAS or the Identity Reporting Module In order to conserve disk space, the installation programs for EAS and the Identity Reporting Module do not install a Java virtual machine (JVM). Therefore, if you need to uninstall one or more components, you need to be sure you have a JVM available and also make sure that the JVM is in the PATH. If you encounter an error during an uninstall, add the location of a JVM to the local PATH environment variable and run the uninstall program again.
The installer for the Event Auditing Service (EAS) performs these functions:
Installs and optionally configures the service
Configures the user who is able to perform administration tasks for the service
Configures the DBA used by the service to interact with the database
Allows you to define the port on which the PostgreSQL database runs
EAS runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. You need to launch the installer for EAS on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server machine.
The installer for the reporting module performs these functions:
Allows you to choose an application server platform
Deploys the client WAR file to the application server
This WAR file contains the user interface components for reporting.
Deploys the core WAR file
This WAR file contains the core REST services needed for reporting.
Deploys the authentication services WAR file
This WAR file contains the authentication services, which control authentication to the reporting module.
Defines the location of the server for the Event Auditing Service (installed separately)
Creates the reporting schema in the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) database
Configures the PostgreSQL JDBC driver that connects to the SIEM database
Configures the authentication services for the reporting module
Configures the e-mail delivery system for the reporting module
Configures the core reporting services for the reporting module
The EAS installation process creates a novell group and novell user. The novell user is created without a password. If you want to log in as the novell user later (for example, to install patches), create a password for this user after the installation is completed.
In addition, when you install EAS and the Identity Reporting Module, the following database users are created automatically:
Table 2-2 Database Users Created By the Install Process
User name
Administrator of the PostgreSQL server and owner of the EAS schema and views.
User identity for use with EAS administrative utilities.
idmrptsrv and idmrptuser
Owner of the Identity Reporting schema and views, as well as credentials used for Identity Reporting database connectivity.
rptuser and appuser
Reserved for compatibility with Sentinel.

Jacksonville Jaguars fire general manager Gene Smith
The first name is in on Black Monday, and the first NFL person officially fired is Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Gene Smith. The team announced Smith's termination on Monday morning.
"I met with Gene Smith this morning to inform him of my decision to go in a new direction and thank him for his dedication to the Jaguars since the inception of the franchise," team owner Shad Khan said in a statement. "I am personally appreciative for his efforts during my first season of ownership in the NFL.
"Gene is a good man with a long career ahead of him in football, and I know this season was as difficult for him as anyone with our organization. I sincerely wish Gene and his family the very best, today and always.
"Now it is time for the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin a new chapter. We're not looking back. I've made it clear from Day 1 that we pledge nothing less than to deliver the first Super Bowl championship to Jacksonville. Our fans have been remarkably loyal over the years, and they were truly outstanding this past season. We simply must do better for our fans."
[Related: Chargers fire GM A.J. Smith, head coach Norv Turner]
The Jags couldn't do much worse -- they went 2-14 in 2012, and quarterback Blaine Gabbert, selected in the first round of the 2011 draft by Smith, was rarely effective through his first two seasons. When Gabbert was injured in October, journeyman Chad Henne stepped in and performed at a higher level. However, and due in large part to the lack of talent brought to bear in Smith's team-building efforts, the team had no hope of success, especially after running back Maurice Jones-Drew missed the final 10 games of the season with a sprained foot.
In the end, it wasn't one bad quarterback pick, or one injured running back, that set Smith on the wrong path. It was a long history of questionable draft picks, especially high draft picks, that didn't work out. Smith, who had been with the franchise since its official inception in 1994, was named GM in January of 2009, but he was part of a front office that pulled the trigger on regrettable picks like Reggie Nelson, Derrick Harvey, and Quentin Groves. None of Smith's hand-picked picks have ever made a Pro Bowl.
With his name on the gavel, Smith picked decent talent too highly all too frequently, and that was his undoing. Gabbert, tackles Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton, receiver Justin Blackmon, and end Andre Branch are among those first- and second-day picks who haven't lived up to their selection numbers. The most embarrassing selection came in 2012, when Smith picked a punter -- Cal's Brian Anger -- with the 70th overall pick in the third round. That pick came with some interesting talent (Wisconsin's Russell Wilson, Arizona's Nick Foles, and Florida International's T.Y. Hilton) coming off the board in the rest of that round.
The Jaguars have not had a winning season since 2007, and it is believed that the fate of first-year head coach Mike Mularkey will be in the hands of Smith's replacement. Smith does have a good reputation as a personnel man and scout, so it's possible that his phone will be ringing soon and he'll find other work in the NFL in a different capacity.

Original Dune
This article or section refers to elements from Original Dune.
Esmar Tuek was a spice smuggler during the time of Muad'Dib.
Tuek's operation was based in the polar regions of Arrakis. For many years he was responsible for smuggling spice off Arrakis for profit. A cunning and astute businessman, Tuek had secret arrangements with the Fremen, both as a means of making profit and as a way of undermining the rule of the Harkonnens.
When the Harkonnens were replaced by the Atreides on the order of the Emperor, Duke Leto Atreides convinced Tuek and his band of smugglers that House Atreides would ignore their operations if they gave a percentage of their profits to the Duke. Shortly thereafter, when Harkonnen spies tried to sell a stolen Atreides carryall to the smugglers, Tuek's men, under orders from Tuek, handed the spies and the carryall to Atreides authorities, earning Tuek the Duke's gratitude, as well as an invitation to a formal dinner hosted by the Duke and the Lady Jessica.
When House Atreides was attacked and the Duke killed, Tuek was killed, and Gurney Halleck, Atreides Warmaster, along with a handful of House Atreides forces, managed to escape and fall in with Tuek's son Staban and his men, where they remained for two years.
Tuek's descendants seemed to have remained on Arrakis. A distant yet direct descendant, Hedley Tuek was High Priest of the Rakian Priesthood some 5000 years after the time of Esmar Tuek.

And, > as you say, in the end it amounts to very expensive > pointer memory. I agree - I/O coalescing through page aliasing is far from the ideal solution. Scatter/Gather is a lot better - especially since it would allow coalescing non-page aligned buffer. (mbuf chains for example) It would also be nice to avoid uvm_pagermapin/uvm_pagermapin calls by using physical addresses where possible. FYI: The newest i386 pmap (1.168) avoids expensive TLB flushes on mappings never touched by the CPU. (To optimize for DMA only mappings) This makes the page aliasing trick a *LOT* less expensive on i386 SMP. > As you say, the rub is all the data structures > for DMA setup.

Well - with Chris's patches you can easily take a look at the bottom of the hole to see if there is any gold there or just a dead rabbit ;-) Once you can document a gold find - you might find more helping hands to bring in the heavy mining equipment.

There's an awful lot I don't know about technology – but the more I learn, the more I enjoy it. That is why I became a Barclays Silver Digital Eagle: to understand more about the internet and to pass on that knowledge in a way that people can understand.
Access to the internet has given people the power to do a huge number of new things. The web makes many tasks quicker, easier and less stressful – yet many people don't grasp the full benefits. Searching online about subjects of interest is just one of these.
Search engines such as Bing, Google or Yahoo! give you access to encyclopedias-full of facts about every subject you can think of. It's a resource everyone can benefit from, but many don't have the confidence to try.
I bring friends along to ''Tea and Teach'' events and we share knowledge about what we can do online. Basically, I help people gain more confidence with their online skills. As a retiree myself, this is a job I love.
Silver Digital Eagles are part of a 7,000-strong group of Barclays Digital Eagles, who help people better understand digital technology. Search engines are especially handy if you don't know the web address of a site you want to visit, or if you want to find out about something and don't know where to start. I think the challenge for most people is trusting search engines – or trusting themselves to use search engines – in the first place. Because once you start using them it's a walk in the park.
Like many people, I like to look for things before I buy them. You can search for them online, compare costs and find out where they are available, then go to the shop and buy them.
This six-part series, featuring tips from digital training organisation Free:Formers, sheds light on all aspects of the internet – and today the focus is on searching online simply and safely.
The internet is full of amazing resources if you know how to search for things. It can be frustrating so here are some top tips on how to find what you're looking for
Google.com is a very reliable and easy-to-use search engine, found via your browser. Think of it as the window to a huge library of information.
You'll find what you're looking for if you use the right "keywords". Rather than enter a question such as "How do I set up Skype to call my niece?" try "Skype tutorial".
You will be presented with a list of relevant links so click away to find the best content for you. Getting to the top of a Google search page is really important for a business. There are two ways to get to the top… have the most relevant and popular website content or simply pay for a Google advert
The results at the top of the search results tend to be paid adverts. These are sometimes helpful but as a general rule you might want to also look at the links further down the page because these are the sites that have earned their way to the top with a smart website that others have been talking about favourably online.
If you are following someone or something in the news you can set up a Google alert to get an email each time something new about them goes online
1 Type in the search keywords or names and click the News tab.
2 At the bottom of the News search pages click the grey "Create alert" button.
3 Check the details of the search, add your email to receive the alerts and choose how often you want the alerts.
4 You can broaden the search to everything on the web or narrow it down to blogs or videos.
5 Click red "Create Alert" button.
Use search short cuts for more effective results
1 Most of the time you can type keywords directly into the address bar, then click Enter. Alternatively you can scroll down to view popular suggestions that will appear as you are typing your search words.
2 If you use Google to search, refine the search by clicking tabs for Images, Videos, News, Shopping, Maps.
3 To find an exact phrase, surround it with quotation marks.
4 Using + before a word means it will be included in search results. Using — before a word will exclude that word to narrow the results.
Ever felt like the internet knows about everything you are doing? It is probably because your computer is sharing "cookies" with sites you visit, leaving crumbs of information.
Many sites will warn you they are going to save this information about you before you go on the website. Cookies can be helpful to find something online or suggest things related to past purchases or searches.
They are not dangerous but if you don't really like the idea of this information being shared you can easily change the privacy settings that are in your web browser.

Re: [AL] Snow Hill Institute
In Response To: Re: [AL] Snow Hill Institute ()
I was there last year in July. The founder, William James Edwards, is the great grandfather of Spike Lee. I met some cousins of his while I was there. One of them owns the house Mr. Edwards built on the property and although she lives in New York, she travels south every summer and stays in the house. She gave me the grand tour and it was wonderful. His library has been maintained as it was when he owned the house. Also, there are class pictures from some of the graduating classes.
Although I did not meet him, I got a chance to talk to another of Spike Lee's cousins who is considered "historian" of the area. He is in possession of some of the school records and I asked him if he would go through them, looking for specific surnames for me. He was very cooperative. I will be returning to the area in about 3 weeks for a family reunion. I will definitely contact him again.

A body has been recovered from the wreckage of a single engine plane that was found Tuesday morning near Lake Park, Ga., Lowndes County Coroner Bill Watson said.
A search had been under way for a plane since Rick Poppell, 52, of Odum, Ga., took off from the Lowndes County airport around 7:40 p.m. Monday and reported he was having trouble, officials said. The FAA lost contract with him around 8 p.m.
About 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, the Georgia State Patrol notified the FAA it had located the wreckage of a Diamond Aircraft DA40 in Lake Park, about 20 miles south of Valdosta, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
WALB TV reported the crash scene was in a heavily wooded area.
Wayne County Sheriff John Carter said he was advised that Poppell's plane was missing Monday night and learned from other sheriffs that a search was under way.
"The FAA from Jacksonville asked us to check the airport here,'' Carter said.
Bergen said the agency issued an alert for the missing aircraft Monday night.
Echols County Sheriff Randy Courson said a search started Monday night, but was called off because of dense fog.
Poppell owned Poppell's Produce, which ships produce around the country and is well known locally for its pumpkin patch on the family farm north of Jesup that is visited by school groups before Halloween.
Poppell's Produce also sets up Christmas tree lots in Southeast Georgia and Carter said he was told Poppell had flown to Valdosta to check on sales there. Poppell provided 10 trees to decorate the Georgia governor's mansion.
"He's a supporter of everything good that goes on around here,'' Carter said. "There's no telling how many causes he's supported."
FAA and National Transportation Safety Board investigators have arrived in Valdosta to begin a probe of the crash. The body will be sent to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab in Macon for an autopsy, officials said.

As the pill marks its 50th anniversary, the Catholic Church renewed efforts to persuade the faithful to practice natural family planning, arguing that artificial birth control violates church doctrine and harms women's bodies.
As the pill marks its 50th anniversary this year, the Catholic Church is making renewed efforts to persuade the faithful to practice natural family planning, arguing that artificial birth control not only violates church doctrine, it harms women's bodies and the environment.
But the church has an uphill battle, Catholic leaders say.
Polls show that Catholics overwhelmingly reject the Vatican's views on birth control. And about half of American Catholics who leave their faith cite their unhappiness with the church's teachings on birth control as a reason they left, according to a survey last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
Push is to fight contraception
In the past, Catholic teachings on family planning might have brought to mind images of stern priests and dowdy nuns hectoring youngsters on the evils of the modern world. But today, the church has revamped its strategy by putting forth scientific and environmental reasons - along with religious and moral ones - for natural family planning. It says the new techniques are based on sound science, unlike the rhythm method decades ago that had a high failure rate.
Using images of attractive couples talking frankly about family planning, the church produces Web videos and DVDs to get the word out.
The sanctity of marriage
The church faces a challenge given that surveys say most Catholics oppose the church's stance on birth control.
According to a survey last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, that stance was the second most-cited reason by ex-Catholics for leaving the faith, after the church's condemnation of abortion and homosexuality. Allegations of child sexual abuse by priests haven't helped, say local Catholic leaders.
"We've lost some of our moral credibility talking about sexuality because of the scandals," said the Rev. Jeff Day, a Catholic priest who has been the point man in the Archdiocese to promote natural family planning for the past six years. "But we should not let that stop us from encouraging something which is true and good. There are some priests who are tempted not to bring up anything to do with sexuality. But they should not be afraid to share this good news."
The church's endorsement of natural family planning is rooted in beliefs about the sanctity of marriage. God is considered an integral part of marriage and so "each act of intercourse must be open to procreation, because the whole meaning of marriage is expressed in each marital act," the U.S. Conference of Catholics Bishops said in a 59-page document on marriage released in November.
The church believes that sex removed from procreation leads to immorality. Acts of homosexuality and masturbation - and the use of contraceptives - are not allowed under Catholic doctrine.
People who use natural family planning for religious reasons "respect the baby-making power of sex by not treating fertility as some bodily defect that must be corrected," said Janet Smith, a professor who is chair of life ethics at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit.
Smith and other Catholic leaders say they think the wide use of the pill has led to a general decline in societal morality, as seen in higher rates of divorce, abortion, pornography use and out-of-wedlock births.
Pill seen as harmful
The church also is pushing the idea that ingesting the chemicals in the pill is harmful to women and the environment.
Dr. Daniel Greene, an ob-gyn from Rochester Hills, stopped giving patients birth control pills five years ago after he became convinced the drugs could lead to everything from headaches to cancer. His Catholic faith also played a role.
"I feel closer to God since I made this decision," said Greene. "And I feel I'm providing a better service for my patients."

When cancer cells turned into a work of art!September 7th, 2008 - 3:59 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Sept 7 (ANI): Combing art with science is not everybodys cup of tea, but Stefanie Reichelt, a scientist at the Cambridge Research Institute, is doing just that by using cancer cells as a piece of art.
Stefanie thinks that cancer cells are beautiful, and her love for living cells is evident from the fact that she believes that when viewed under a microscope, all parts of the human body - from chromosomes to sperm - are visually arresting.
While she heads the microscopy laboratory, she also has an artistic streak. She was so taken with the beauty of the images produced by her team, which were artificially stained with a number of vibrant colours to highlight certain features, that she started to make a collection of etchings based on the microscopic vistas.
The pictures focus on uncontrolled cell division during cancer, leading to the formation of tumours.
Reichelts work is being showcased at the institute, even though the pictures do not always generate a positive response.
People sometimes say Oh no, pictures of cancer cells, that''s horrible." But then they see that they are actually very beautiful, Times Online quoted her, as saying.
The exhibition is free and runs until September 30, at ArtCell, the art gallery at Cancer Research UK''s Cambridge Research Institute. (ANI)
