Now its our turn

After recent petitions from people in public life in Germany, Italy, Poland and France, there appeared today one from the UK organised by Una Voce. Let`s hope it has as much success as the petition of 1971.
Here it is:

Catholics in the U.K. Appeal to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in Support of the Traditional Latin Mass

There has been much speculation in the media in recent months about the expectation from Rome of a document that will grant greater freedom for the celebration of the traditional (‘Tridentine’) Roman rite of Mass. There have been some highly critical comments from certain quarters, especially from the French and German bishops, who do not agree with the prospect of loosening the very tight restrictions imposed by most bishops around the world. It is a fact, for whatever reason, that these bishops oppose greater freedom for the celebration of the traditional Mass and have no interest in the opinions of the laity or even of many of their own priests who long to celebrate this ancient rite; a rite that has never been abolished and is still valid.
In an effort to counter the negative and uninformed attitudes of the bishops a number of public manifestos have been published by lay people in France, Italy, Poland, Germany, and including one from English-speaking people from around the world. A number of people in the UK wish to publicly declare their support for Pope Benedict XVI and his intention to grant greater freedom for the celebration of the ancient classical Roman rite of Mass.

Leo Darroch – Secretary, Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce.

In 1971 many leading British and international figures, among whose number were Yehudi Menuhin, Agatha Christie, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Nancy Mitford, Graham Greene, Joan Sutherland, and Ralph Richardson, presented a petition to His Holiness Pope Paul VI asking for the survival of the traditional Roman Catholic Mass on the grounds that it would be a serious loss to western culture. The then Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Heenan himself appealed to Pope Paul for the continued celebration of the traditional Mass. The full text of this appeal in 1971 was:
"If some senseless decree were to order the total or partial destruction of basilicas or cathedrals, then obviously it would be the educated - whatever their personal beliefs - who would rise up in horror to oppose such a possibility. Now the fact is that basilicas and cathedrals were built so as to celebrate a rite which, until a few months ago, constituted a living tradition. We are referring to the Roman Catholic Mass. Yet, according to the latest information in Rome, there is a plan to obliterate that Mass by the end of the current year. One of the axioms of contemporary publicity, religious as well as secular, is that modern man in general, and intellectuals in particular, have become intolerant of all forms of tradition and are anxious to suppress them and put something else in their place. But, like many other affirmations of our publicity machines, this axiom is false. Today, as in times gone by, educated people are in the vanguard where recognition of the value of tradition in concerned, and are the first to raise the alarm when it is threatened. We are not at this moment considering the religious or spiritual experience of millions of individuals. The rite in question, in its magnificent Latin text, has also inspired a host of priceless achievements in the arts - not only mystical works, but works by poets, philosophers, musicians, architects, painters and sculptors in all countries and epochs. Thus, it belongs to universal culture as well as to churchmen and formal Christians. In the materialistic and technocratic civilisation that is increasingly threatening the life of mind and spirit in its original creative expression - the word - it seems particularly inhuman to deprive man of word-forms in one of their most grandiose manifestations. The signatories of this appeal, which is entirely ecumenical and non-political, have been drawn from every branch of modern culture in Europe and elsewhere. They wish to call to the attention of the Holy See, the appalling responsibility it would incur in the history of the human spirit were it to refuse to allow the Traditional Mass to survive, even though this survival took place side by side with other liturgical reforms."
This appeal in 1971 came at a crucial time in the history of civilisation when the future of the traditional Latin “Tridentine” Mass was in jeopardy. Pope Paul VI graciously acknowledged this appeal and the traditional Mass was saved, at least in England and Wales. Since this momentous appeal in 1971 the traditional Latin Mass has prospered once again among the faithful worldwide and is now celebrated in almost every country in the world. Now, in 2007, there is great hope and expectation that this treasure of civilisation will be freed from its current restrictions. We, the signatories of this petition, wish to associate ourselves to the sentiments expressed in the petition of 1971 which, perhaps, are even more valid today, and appeal to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI in 2007 to allow the free celebration of the traditional Roman rite of Mass, the Mass of Ages, the Mass of Antiquity, on the altars of the Church.

Good News

As reported on the BBC news website, the ugly Westgate house in Newcastle has been completely demolished after blighting the city for 35 years. It is to be replaced with new buildings which `would fit in with the architecture of the area`. Who knows where this might end? Is this a trend that will spread to the ecclesiastical sphere? I`m sure readers will have their own favourite horror stories of 19th century churches whose interiors have been rendered ridiculous by the insertion of say a huge bare white marble altar or some such item.

Bad News

There is an interview in today`s Sunday Telegraph with Fr Foster, the papal Latinist. In the course of this he reflects on the new indult. :

He (Fr Foster) said reports that Pope Benedict will reintroduce the Tridentine Mass, which dates from 1570 and is largely conducted in Latin, were wrong – not least because of the Pope's desire to avoid more controversies. A speech last year offended Muslims and more recently he gave initial support to a Polish archbishop who was eventually forced to resign, after admitting that he had collaborated with the communist-era secret police.
"He is not going to do it," Fr Foster said. "He had trouble with Regensberg, and then trouble in Warsaw, and if he does this, all hell will break loose." In any case, he added: "It is a useless mass and the whole mentality is stupid. The idea of it is that things were better in the old days. It makes the Vatican look medieval."

This is the first time I`ve seen anyone suggest it`s not going to happen. Not sure what Fr Foster means by saying it`s `a useless Mass`: a strange expression to use.

The Philippines

My brother sent me this picture a few days ago, asking me if I had ever had this many people turn up for a dawn Mass! The only dawn Masses I have had recently were during the summer when I had a 7am Tridentine Mass ( `private` of course given episcopal restrictions and continuing lack of the new indult) which attracted at most 4 people. This is a picture of the Mass last week in Cebu for the feast of the Santo Nino ( the infant Jesus) which attracted a congregation of 700,000. I was fortunate a few years ago to spend time in Cebu when I went to baptise my nephew, James. I found the Philippines to be an absolutely fascinating country. While I enjoyed being in a Catholic country, I was there for two Sundays but on neither of them was I at Mass in a church. The first weekend I concelebrated at a Mass in the open air community centre of the area in which my brother was living while he was working there. The main celebrant was one of the staff from the local seminary: his sermon appeared to be the continuation of a series which was deconstructing the Gospel of Mark and offering an introduction to the joys of form criticism. The next Sunday, Mass was in a rather exclusive sports club where a local Monsignor was the celebrant. He was immaculate in his white cassock and preached about resisting the temptation to fall into the culture of corruption which permeates so much of public life there. He also said that while the Philippines is proud to be Asia`s only Catholic nation, in fact only 20% attend Mass regularly. I wondered whether the somewhat sterile masses I had the opportunity to attend may have had something to do with this given the evidence of popular devotion everywhere you looked. A sad experience was a visit to the island of Bohol which has some of the finest Spanish 17th century Spanish churches in a bad state of decay. One I remember best had a glorious reredos with niches for saints in the Spanish style but which had recently lost a number of the original statues through theft. The attached museum had a display of ancient decaying vestments, church silver and missals.
We have a growing number of Philippino families here in the Forest and I sometimes wonder what they make of our rather pared-down version of Catholicism, with its bare churches, compared to the flamboyance of the devotional life back home.

Back from holiday

I`m sorry this blog has been rather quiet of late but I`ve been away on holiday recovering from the Christmas season. I spent a week in Puerto de la Cruz in Tenerife with Fr Charles Briggs (seen here on the harbour wall) of Chislehurst. Neither of us had ever been there before but I heard the weather can be very good even in January and I reckoned that if the Spanish had been there since the fifteenth century there must be some churches and buildings worth a look. Another attraction is the annual musical festival in Santa Cruz in the new and exciting auditorium which a friend had been to last year but in the event it proved too difficult to get there.
Apart from food and sun there were indeed some ecclesiastical treats. Last Saturday we went to the Mt Teide national park. Any readers who are unaware of the landscape (as I was) of this area are missing something quite extraordinary. I`m sure it`s a geologist`s dream. Suffice to say that the landscape is sufficiently striking for it to have been used in the films `Planet of the Apes` and `Star Wars`. I later discovered that we were very close to an even more extraordinary happening as the episcopal vicar for Newcastle, Fr Jim O`Keefe, was on holiday at the same time and we missed him by a day at Mt Teide!

On the way back down from Mt Teide we took a circular route which took us to the town of Garachico. This was a great find. The town itself had a beautiful square with a large church of St Anne on one side and a former Franciscan house and church on the other. The church of St Anne (seen here) appeared to be closed but it did advertise a museum of sacred art. We went in and found large numbers of seventeenth and eighteenth century high Mass sets (strangely referred to as `triplets`) on display as well as other liturgical items such as missals and chalices. We were then let into the church which instead of the usual Spanish style of a large reredos with statues of saints had a retro choir, behind the high altar. We saw the same arrangement later in the main church on Orotava.

At Mass on Sunday in the main church at Puerto de la Cruz, the main celebrant was a visiting priest from the Birmingham diocese. He endeared himself when after the organ had intoned the chorus of the Battle Hymn of the Republic as a substitue for the Gloria, he then led us in reciting the Gloria: I`ve often wanted to do that in similar situations such as after the `Peruvian Gloria`. The sermon, on the marriage feast of Cana, was excellent. The theme was `Do whatever He tells you` and Father spoke of how we should give our whole lives to Christ from waking to sleeping and that our goal should be to do His will. It was so well-presented, coherent, interesting and engaging that Fr Briggs suspected he was an Anglican convert. On getting home we found Fr Briggs was correct!

I got back to find that nothing much had happened in the universal Church.

A Fight with a Priest

It goes to show that things can always get worse in the parish! Spotted on the Cafeteria is Closed blog

Saturday, January 06, 2007

Last night at the clergy dinner one priest assured me that the liturgy office for England and Wales had said that in using the 1962 missal one follows the calendar so it was right to celebrate the Epiphany on the 6th as we did this morning with a Missa Cantata. I was somewhat surprised by this but even if it had been said otherwise there would be nothing to stop a votive Mass of the Epiphany this morning. I`m glad to see I was in good company: there was a 1962 Solemn High Mass of the Epiphany at the Birmingham Oratory this morning. Apparently and surprisingly, this was the first time that such a Mass had been celebrated in the Oratory church since the changes. There is an account on the lacrimarum valle blog.

We talked last night about other aspects of the calendar. The new English calendar has moved the feast of St Cuthbert, our diocesan patron, to September 4th. This is understandable because in Lent, outside of this diocese, it would not be possible to celebrate it as a memorial and so putting it on the feast of the translation of St Cuthbert, means other parts of the country can celebrate him. In this diocese it remains on its traditional day of March 20th and has the rank of a feast. However it was regretted that we here have lost the interesting feast of the translation on September 4th and the day is now a feria. Time for a votive Mass again: that`s what I did last September 4th. However following the 1962 calendar keeps the traditional days. It will be interesting to see if the new indult, when it comes, will have anything to say about the calendar.

It`s not often I say this but...

....there is a good article in the Tablet. Unfortunately I can`t give a link to the article as the Tablet requires a print subscription before the on-line version (apart from a few articles) can be viewed. However, the title of the article is `Jewels snatched from the liturgical crown` and it is by one Mike Knowles, a former lecturer in the philosophy of religion and sociology. The synopsis given is incorrect as it says:

`For the first time this year, the Feast of the Epiphany will be celebrated in England and Wales not on the old established date of 6 January but on the nearest Sunday.`

This is not true as all holydays in England and Wales have been governed by the rule until recently that if they fell on a Saturday or Monday they were transfered to the nearest Sunday. The Epiphany has been moved to a Sunday before when January 6th has been a Saturday or Monday. However the rest of the article makes some very good points. One particularly annoying aspect of the new rules is that Ascension will not, despite what Scripture says, be celebrated forty days after Easter. Mr Knowles writes:

`The fortieth day is not the "nearest Sunday available" but the fortieth day after the Resurrection. That is the tradition. The bishops, as successors to the Apostles, are in office to guard it, not dispose of it.`

Tonight I am going to a clergy dinner at St Cuthbert`s Kenton, hosted by Fr Lawrence Jones. He wants to celebrate the real Twelfth Night. A few years ago he hosted a similar event in defence of the feast of St Thomas Becket, patron of the secular clergy, which had been abolished as a feast day in the shake up of the calendar for England and Wales. This move by the authorities would have warmed the heart of Henry VIII who made the destruction of the saint`s shrine at Canterbury one of his priorities in his break with Rome!

Mr Knowles ends his article:

` The tree of the Church in England and Wales is ageing, stunted and declining but this decision will starve the roots even further.`

Well said Mike Knowles!

Wednesday, January 03, 2007

Looking at the website for the bishops` conference of England and Wales, the main article is a piece about the Epiphany. I found this article to be at best confusing. It reads:

The 12 days of Christmas end in the Catholic Church on January 6th with the feast of the Epiphany.
This feast, a Holy day of Obligation, is originally a third century tradition from the Eastern Church. There, it marks the birth of Jesus and his adult baptism by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. In the West, the Epiphany is associated with the Magi, the three Kings who, according to Scripture, brought to the child Jesus gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrhh

No mention of the feast this year being celebrated thirteen days after Christmas with its transfer to the nearest Sunday.

UPDATE 5.01.07. The entry has changed and now reads:

On January 6th the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of the Epiphany.
The feast is a third century Eastern tradition. There, it marks the birth of Jesus and his adult baptism by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. In the West, the Epiphany is associated with the Magi, the three Kings who, according to Scripture, brought to the child Jesus gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrhh.

No mention of the Epiphany being a holyday of obligation any more but still the insistence that the feast is celebrated on January 6th!

Lowell, Massachusetts – 1847: President Polk Slept Here

United States president James Knox Polk, three...

James K. Polk, ca. 1849, Image via Wikipedia

‘Who?’, you may ask.  James Knox Polk, the 11th president of the United States, was, even during his own lifetime, somewhat unknown.  His opponents in the Whig Political Party, said that the 1844 Election’s dark horse victor had emerged from a ‘well-deserved obscurity’.  Informed history now views Polk, who at 49 years old in 1845 was the youngest president to take office up to that time, as one of the country’s strongest leaders, and counts among his greatest achievements the transformation of the United States into a coast-to-coast nation, with the acquisition of today’s US Southwest from Mexico as a result of the Mexican-American War and the resolution of the Oregon Country border dispute that he resolved with Great Britain, thus averting a third war between the two countries in the span of 70 years.

Rain fell on Lowell, Massachusetts on the afternoon of June 30, 1847, as a special train from Boston arrived in Lowell’s Bleachery section, nearly 40 years before Sacred Heart Church would be built nearby.  Mayor Jefferson Bancroft, Lowell’s Committee of Arrangements, and a large crowd of onlookers had assembled at the train’s ‘stopping place’ (Bleachery Depot) and welcomed President James K. Polk to Lowell.  Around 3 o’clock on that afternoon, Polk and his entourage stepped from the train into what was then the city’s southern edge.  Many within the crowd, numerous ‘factory girls’ from the mills among them, were seeing President Polk for the first time, and were surprised to find that he was “a better looking man than [they] expected he was”.  A festive mood passed throughout the crowds as the mills and other businesses had been closed in honor of the President’s visit.

Mayor Bancroft addressed the President, his traveling companions, and the crowd.  His words, recorded in the next day’s Lowell Courier, provide fascinating insight into how Lowellians of the mid-19th century viewed the city’s rapid growth from a “waste” earlier in the century to its new status as a “great manufacturing city of this great nation”.  Bancroft touted the city’s growing population that had reached more than 30,000 people.  Mayor Bancroft, himself a former mill operative who had come to the city some 20 years earlier, recalled for the President how the ‘waste had been built up into a handsome city of mills, workshops, dwellings, and public edifices, showing better than I can tell, that the strong and muscular arm of the artisan and the muscular arm of the laboring man has not been idle here.’  Lastly, Bancroft told the story of how many of those who Polk saw and met that day had come to Lowell in its infancy, ‘poor and penniless’, and by their own hard work had been able to purchase stock in the mills where they labored, and thus had later purchased real estate within the city.  History records that President Polk replied briefly, but that no one actually heard or remembered his words – due to the ‘immense crowd’ and the noise of the cannon.  Newspaper reporters, not yet equipped with modern conveniences of microphones and recorders, preserved his response for posterity as ‘ appropriate remarks’.

A procession of several carriages was formed, all the principal dignitaries of the day present.  The Lowell City Guards began the procession, led by then-Lieutenant Benjamin Butler and joined by other local military orders.  The President’s carriage, drawn by four horses, followed.  By 5:30 PM, the procession arrived at Lowell’s Merrimack House, located at the corner of Dutton and Merrimack Streets.  (Merrimack House was destroyed in a 1924 fire; the site is now occupied by a Hess gas station.)  Curiously, during Polk’s stay at Merrimack House, the flag hoisted upon the nearby Liberty Pole flew at half-mast, which, even during those long-ago days, was understood to be a sign of distress.

Lowell's Merrimack House, 1886 City Directory

The President checked into his hotel, and, at six, attended a ‘superb supper’ with Mayor Bancroft and the other dignitaries at Mechanics Hall.  Polk dined and drank with the Lowell men – and later retired to his rooms at the Merrimack House for the night.  The Courier records that President Polk visited the Middlesex and Prescott Mills early on the morning of July 1, and boarded the 8 o’clock train to Concord, New Hampshire from the Merrimack Street Depot, located on the lower floor of Huntington Hall – also destroyed by fire, in 1904.

Merrimack Street Depot, Lowell, Massachusetts via Wikipedia Commons

Despite the early hour, a large crowd assembled to see President Polk off.  As the train pulled away from the Depot, someone in the crowd called for three cheers.  Instead, the crowd called “no go” as the President’s train disappeared from view.  The President did return that night, to switch trains before leaving for a visit to Portland, Maine.

The purpose of Polk’s visit to Lowell on that long-ago day is not actually recorded in the Courier, which isn’t really surprising.  In reading through newspapers and other contemporary, locally minded media of the 19th century, national news is much less of a focus than what is found in today’s local media.  The Lowell Courier does record, courtesy of the Boston Transcript, that Polk’s visit marked the third presidential visit to Boston in the past 14 years that had happened during a rainstorm.  Polk’s visit to Lowell was part of a larger tour that also included stops in New York; Boston; Charlestown, Massachusetts; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; and Newburyport, Massachusetts.  The reality was, in fact, that Polk undertook the tour of New York and New England to help influence the upcoming Congressional elections, which he saw as critical to the success of his policies.  Most coming to see Polk on that day came to catch a glimpse of the President, a rare occurrence in a day lacking the access to celebrity we now enjoy.  On a lighter (and closing) note, though, I had no idea, before researching this article, that President Polk had once slept at the site of the present-day Hess station at the corner of Merrimack and Dutton Streets in downtown Lowell.  I think I would have done a double-take had I seen a sign there proclaiming that “President Polk slept here”.

Topic: Arduino Starter Kit Section Guidelines (Read 36024 times) previous topic - next topic

there are currently 3 available at
the site says 4 available but i just brought one of them

Hi there, just saw that it's sold out in the Arduino store, and i checked the Canadian distributors and none of them have it yet. Can't even find them on ebay. I hate to repeat previous questions, but does anyone know roughly when they will be back in stock in the Arduino store and/or when Canadian distributors will start carrying them?

Yes, I got a reply from the Arduino Store that it will be in stock around Nov 15th or so.

Does anyone know which distributor in Mexico will sell this starter kit???, I'm really interested in getting one.

Massimo Banzi

The first batch went out super quick... now there is a stupid component that is late.. but I know the factory bought a lot of them to make sure we don't run out again

thanks for your patience

I just received my Starter Kit in today.  The kit is very well done.  The project book appears very well written also.  It has clear instructions and explanations.  The book is well laid out with pictures and diagrams and code examples.  I'm looking forward to go thru this kit with my daughter who just got started with Arduino.

Excellent Job Arduino team!

Massimo Banzi

thanks for the feedback!
It was a lot of work so i'm glad you like it!!

Great work with Arduino starter kit!
i received it yesterday from RS Components, beautiful package, and much more i'd appreciate the book too, at 60yo as absolute beginner in electronics i'm happy to say i have  understood this night more than in previous 60 years :).
Just an info about Project2- Love-o-meter- : the temperature sensor, as referred in the book,  is supposed to be a TMP36.
In my "components box"  the temp sensor is not a TMP 36, and seems it works badly,  may be because it is not a TMP36 ? May be the data in the datasheet are not the same as TMP36?

Massimo Banzi

really difficult to read, may be something as

tmp 38GZ #1139 217181

ty for your answer

My kit says TMP 36GZ ...
Try using a magnifier if you are having a hard time reading the small text.

may be u are right :) , sorry me .

I've just received this kit. (RS in the UK still have some)

I have to say, it is absolutely beautiful! The book is so well designed and colourful - making it worthwhile not being a Kindle version.

I can't wait to get started tinkering. I'm not a total beginner - but I like supporting Arduino.

The only slight issue is that the bolts that are to attach the arduino to the board are stick out about twice as far as the legs, meaning they can't be used. I'm sure that I can pick up some from a hardware store - or I could put them in upside-down and have the bolts stick out on top.

Well done Massimo for such a lovely product. Thanks.

ole kristensen

As a long-time educator and purchaser of Arduino-kits at a major educational institution, I just wanted to give my 5 cents.

The components and projects look very entertaining and you do not spare more complex stuff such as an H-bridge and LCD-display, great!

The book is not available online, it is only in print and i presume you have copyrighted it.
The box in boxes will break if the kits need to be lent to students, sequentially.

Those are my first remarks, if you get closer to spark fun, you'd stifle my doubts, and we'd start supporting Arduino at the source.
However the con's are deal breakers for us.

OK ! finaly I moved from 0 ! NOW I GET VALUES TO MY SENSOR PIN !  :D !

the only problem is that they go from 340 to 370 up and down every 2 secconds gradualy ! is there a chance that is an echo or is it normal ?

Check to see you have the value of that coupling capacitor correct. The 0.1uF that goes between the trannsistor and the op amp. Making that 10uF or 100uF would do that to your signal.

Father's honeymoon advice
« on: October 02, 2009, 09:51:30 AM »
Mike was going to be married to Karen so his Father sat him down for a little chat.  He said, 'Mike, let me tell you something.   On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants, handed them to your Mother, and said, 'Here, try these on.''

She did and said, 'These are too big. I can't wear them.'

I replied, 'Exactly.. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.'  Ever since that night, we have never had any problems.

'Hmmm,' said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try.  On his honeymoon, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen, 'Here, try these on..'

She tried them on and said, 'These are too large. They don't fit me.'

Mike said, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that.'

Then Karen took off her panties and handed them to Mike. She said, 'Here, you try on mine.'

Mike did and said, 'I can't get into your panties.'

Karen said, 'Exactly. And if you don't change your smart-a$$ attitude, you never will.'

Super speeding....not sure where to put this.

Shouldn't you just get an attorney and make the ticket go away?

My traction control warning light

Hey guys,
Lately I have noticed that when I take a turn fast (which I do every turn) or accelerate hard my traction control warning light goes on until I turn the car off. I'm not burning rubber or lifting any wheels off the ground so whats the problem. The whole suspension has been done, arms, shock, ball points, etc.

Modifying a mod... is this possible?

I have the xenoflo hid conversion for my fog lights. They are 6000k, and I would like 4000k-5000k as a rpelacement. The 6000k is too purple/blue. If i buy 4300k bulbs from philips, will they be interchangeable???

    Sorry, I just fail to see what's so exciting about the Jax vs Nero thing. It's undercooked, and there's no one in that entire angle to pull for as they're all several different shades of despicable. The show has devolved to essentially just being bad people doing bad things with really bad music montages jammed into every overblown episode. It's gotten kind of excruciating.

    I don't know. Instead of Jax getting more ruthless (which has already been happening for several seasons now and been getting progressively more boring and monotonous), I'd like to see some actual character development. And him squaring off against the asinine Christian-pimp-who-believes-in-karma just doesn't do much for me. Sure, Smits has been great in his role- but it's a horribly written, thankless part. And 7 seasons building towards the main character going up against a late-in-the-game peripheral character is...just...ugh.

Top 5 Wrestling Entrance Themes

by akbar on 06-13-2013 at 12:36 PM
It seems wrestlers entrance theme’s nowadays don’t have the impact of 10-15 years ago, with so many of them now sounding like some indie band-esque bland, generic stuff. A good theme for me is one that strikes the crowd from the first second and lets them know instantly who the wrestlers. Of course other people tastes differ but here are for me the top 5 favourite entrance themes.

Why CM Punk is more suitable as a face

by akbar on 06-06-2013 at 04:50 PM

The somewhat eagerly anticipated return of CM Punk is almost near us and no doubt majority of WWE fans will be glad to see him back. Now granted unless something spontaneous occurred in the usual auto-pilot creative minds of WWE, he’ll return as a heel. No doubt Punk is a great heel, but his anti-hero face

Why Sheamus should lose the title now

by akbar on 07-28-2012 at 03:50 PM
So in the recent Smackdown episode, Alberto Del Rio has won the no1 contenders fatal four way match to be up against Sheamus for the World Heavyweight Championship. I have to say I was surprised he won the battle royal, with the apperant feud happening with Rey Mysterio, a one on one between them would've been the guess but it looks like ADR is still going to be after the title.

Why CM Punk turning heel isn't that big of a deal.

by akbar on 07-26-2012 at 11:58 AM
So for weeks, the build up to 1000th Raw had been made into a momentous occasion. While it was fun seeing the old faces for a little reunion, something big needed to happen for the show itself to be memoriable and lead into a exciting angle to lay out through out the summer. With much speculation in what this big angle is going to happen, it was WWE champion CM Punk 'turning his back on the fans'

The Spotlight is on AJ

Maybe because the last time a Diva was at the forefront of WWE was like a century ago, AJ's involvement in the WWE championship match is causing waves in the WWE universe. Ever since Big Show accidentally hit her and her return to save DB, her character development
has been in full effect.

Bryan was pushed to contend for the main belt and WWE have made AJ accompany him the whole

Solar concentrator/trough style steam generator

Eric L.Eric L. Posts: 91Member
I've got a steam heated brick house with a flat roof.I was planning on building some solar hot air boxes to supplement the heat in the winter. Then I started reading about parabolic /trough solar steam generators.Does anyone think its possible to to make enough steam on a sunny day with a big enough array to pipe it in to the steam system and actually fill the radiators?
· ·

  • Kevin_in_DenverKevin_in_Denver Posts: 588Member

    It's theoretically possible, but it wouldn't work very well because:

    1. You could only generate steam for 6 hours during the day.

    2. Your storage tank would have to operate near the boiling point. Tanks that hot really hurt system efficiency because they lose heat too quickly.

    For these reasons, no one that I've ever heard of has tried it.

    Money would be better spent on conversion to a 96% efficient hydronic system first. Then conventional solar could be added.

Hammertoe surgery "surge eritome" - Kathy M.

Posted: Jan 8th, 2010 - 4:33 pm

Hi I'm transcribing a surgical procedure to correct Hammertoe and there is a sentence I can't put together.

"A surge eritome was then used to make a hole in the base of the middle phalanx to accommodate the peg of the proximal phalangeal head."

Any idea what surge eritome could be?

      Hi, We are arriving from Ulan Bhator at Beijing central station and need to get to Beijing airport for an onward flight to Japan. I have done research into transfers but all the details are from a variety of stations, none of which are referred to as the central station. Can any one help with the name of the station? Also any tips of a quick transfer would be great as we have just under 3 hours to get from the station to the airport (which l understand is about 30 km so should be doable - if l have the right station!)

Motorcycle Hire???

by LesleyO Online Now Aug 20, 2007 at 1:26 PM

Seeking one or two motorcycles to hire/borrow for my husband and myself, August 28-29, 2007. Are there any such providers or brave souls on the isle? I am having difficulty finding such a service through search engines... Thank you for your replies.

    by leics Online Now Aug 20, 2007 at 1:37 PM

    According to this info site, there are no motorcycle hirers on the island.

    To be honest, motorcycle hire is not commonly offered in the UK. And borrowing would be problematic from an insurance point of view, even if you were lucky enough to get any offers. Hiring from elsewhere on the mainland seems the only other option; try googling for UK motorcycle hire and see what turns up.

Single entry visa for Turkey

edited July 2010 in - Turkey
What is the difference between single entry and multiple entry visa?

  • edited 4:18AM
    Multiple allows you to enter Turkey, pop over to Greece for few days, re-enter Turkey, maybe visit Cyprus, re-enter again... useful for peripatetic tourists and business people I suppose. Single entry is just what it says on the packet - a visa that is good for one entry.
  • edited 4:18AM
    As David says the visas do what they say on the tin!!

    Basically you can come in and out of Turkey as many times as you like on a multiple entry visa - for UK residents this is 90 days for £10 or 15 Euro for European residents. It's the visa that you buy at the airport as you land in Turkey. So if you come over in June and then decide you like it so much you want another holiday in early September as long as your travel dates are within 90 days of the first entry stamp you don't have to buy another visa!

1. This software package is applicable to U8800 only, other models include U8800+/U8800Pro cannot use this package. Check your model at "Settings" > "About phone".

2. For the moment there is no official downgrade from Android 2.3 to Android 2.2.

3. Risks included. Flash with care.

1. Items to note
a) All data (e.g. contact list, sms, mms, etc.) will be wiped during the upgrade process. Do backup your data to external SD card or PC storage.

b) Make sure battery can last for at least 30 minute to ensure complete upgrade process.

2. Functionality description
This is modified version based on the original Froyo, with the following modifications:

a) Upgraded Android version to Gingerbreak 2.3.5.

b) Added Huawei UI with better usability on top of original Android version to improve user experience.

3. Steps to upgrade

since the only place to discuss apps is in the paid app forum I thought I would come here.

I have an idea to do an app and no means our knowledge to build.

If developer willing to work on an open source free app with root privileges please reply or pm.

This is for a free app and if it makes it to play store that's fine

Requirements: free, ad free, no network permissions, modify sd card, write to root.

All I have to offer that one could find themselves is an open source script that O.M.J wrote for me as a test bed. And it works.

I wonder how they count those 'activations' if you activate a phone, return it, and activate a second phone.
  Film becomes whatever resolution you scan it at.
  I don't see anyone arguing that AT&T or the Baby Bells weren't monopolies or that their market position was a good thing. Do you have a point? I'm pretty sure you don't.
  It's relevant, they are just hypocrites, like Google.
  I disagree with you on all points.
  Isn't part of the complaint also that Google is stealing information from other sites, like Yelp? Simply saying, "we stole this from yelp," next to the information doesn't do much good, since that's followed by an implied, "... so you don't need to visit their site. Now how 'bout you check out some of our stuff while you're here?"   Of course, I'm sure that GG knows all about this. He's just pretending with his questions that there isn't anything amiss here, which is...
  Business activity is just another form of human activity, so all the moral considerations that would apply to any human action apply equally to business actions, because corporations don't act, the people running them do. You don't get a pass on bad behavior just by labeling it "business".
  That's not how handheld computers worked on Star Trek. Honestly.
  'Smaller' refers to the size of the batch, not the iPhone.
  I guess I missed this news. What was the release date Apple announced for the next iPhone? The one they're now missing?   Of course, there never was a "scheduled September launch", at least not one known outside of Apple. All this talk of being behind schedule and delays is BS. I'd be very surprised if Apple had pinpointed a date, particularly one in September, since it's not yields on fingerprint sensors and LCD drivers that will most likely determine the exact release...

Fix for Word 2007 problem.

I had this problem and another tech sent me this information. It worked! Read the steps carefully and take your time. It will work. It's not difficult.

Some of the Microsoft files get corrupt permissions during GP security template application during installs and here is the solution to fix it.

Please follow the directions below and it will all be good again in no time.

1. Logon to system as local administrator
2. Open My computer and change the view (under tools > Folder Options > View ) to show hidden files and folders.
3. Now change directory to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data
4. Delete the files OPA12.dat & OPA12.bak (in some computers you may see OPA11 instead of OPA12. That is okay delete whatever 11 or 12 that you see there)
5. Restart the Word Program.
6. It will install and recreate those files (which got corrupted) again. You can now go to the user profile and launch Word successfully.
7. At the end please don't forget to change the View of the files to HIDE the hidden files and folder on step 2.

Hi, anybody here has ever encountered and problem like mine? Please help if
you do.
I have an JTable and the table model derived from AbstractTableModel, I use
TableSorter from the tutorial to sort the table(I have also implemented my
own sorting method, but the result is the same), but whatever the data type
of the table column, the getColumnClass() method always return String type,
so the table is always sorted by String type.
My implementation of this method is as following:
return getValueAt(0, columnIndex).getClass();
What is possibly wrong?

Please help, thank you so much!

Are you using Hold Out?

Discuss your favorite platform magic and illusions.

Postby Ricky Difeo » 06/19/08 12:37 PM

I think that many magicians don't use the hold out for fear.
A heap of effects can be presented with it device and news ways will open you in presentations.

I am using the device "The Invisible Hand" (Vernet) from 4 years ago. I like this device, is pure magic.

Now with the news DVDs from Vernet (Michel&Greco), we will get news presentations and tips. The history about the Houl Out of Kepllinger and Jack Miller is wonderfull.
The Silk Story is my prefered from this set of 3 DVDs.-

How would you compare this DVD set to the others on using the holdout on the market already?

What made this one special for you?

First the DVDs quality and presentation of the 3 dvds set is very good. Comparable to several great set as Osterlind No Camera Trick and Potassy Trilogy.

Michel as performer is one very magical person, and if you keep in mind that michel use it from years ago and if you can see him perform, you can to understand me.-
Michel is fanatic and study the hold out from years ago, his history and have the original Millers Hold Out (you can see it in the video). I never can see it in use as show Michel.
We can see and learn almost 30 wonderfull effects with The Invisible Hand.

Also... if you must read and ear all best magic in english, you will agree with me that the subtitle in spanish at the dvds, is very hard to find in another sets and its are welcome.

Hi! I understand that this it is not a problem of all.

I think that its (subtitles) must be very expensive for the producer of DVDs to include the subtitle for performances and explanations for the latinoamerican magician or spanish magician as the Films DVDs. This set is in english and subtitle in spanish is welcome.

Does your now understand me because I write english so bad, not?
I am argentinean, the product is very good and argentinean, then..... the rest depends on you. ;)

I have a set of these DVDs and can attest to their high quality to the point that they seem more a labor of love than a commercial product. They do have solid, commercial material. Michel fully and completely examines the gravity hold out and variations on the theme of the hold out.

The production values are high and the inclusion of some Tango music only added to my enjoyment.

Perhaps most importantly, Michel is charming in his presentations, which in and of itself, is a good lesson for the student of magic. His pace and timing are also to be admired.

I should reveal that some time back he asked me for pictures of my presentation of the Frakson/Martin Vanishing Birdcage, which I supplied. They are included in the DVD on the Vanishing Bird Cage, so his coverage of the effect is wide-ranging.

Michel's original presentation of the repeat vanishing cage with the removal of the coat at the end is extremely clever and easily worth the price of the set.

Where did you get the DVDs. Ricky was gracious enough to tell me Vernet made them. I am considering a trip to Buenos Aires, if that's what it takes. None of the magic shops that Vernet listed had them on their website. My local bricks and mortar says they'll be in next week.

Should that fall through, who actually has them in stock?

Thought I mentioned that Michel sent me a set from Argentina because of my small contribution to the last DVD in the set. He was extremely generous for a small favor, but that is part of his charm.

You could email him at or you could call him at 54 (221) 455 1989 in Buenos Aires. He speaks excellent English.

Not that I would ever try to redirect a thread to its initial poster's comment or idea, but . . .

Michel of Vernet will ship (act as retailer) individual copies of the DVDs all you have to do is email him, in English or Spanish. He , unlike the ugly Americans speaks more than one language.

120 bucks, airmailed to your door. If you're a hold-out junkie or want to become one, this will most likely be some solid stuff.

Don't forget Todd Karr has the Mystic Craig Videos now. The instigator/master of the hold-out lectures on those very VHS tapes. I've sent off for the MC videos as well. Mr. Karr mentions Miller, by name in his ads. I assume the two Miller lectures are on there.

Antonio Romero has great routines too. His HO is a new twist, I say "Go ahead buy it!!!"

Some fat old man is doing a cups and balls routine on youtube coverage. I think he's using a Miller HO. Some crap about fun shop and cups . . .

Hey, David Alexander thanks for the idea to email Michel. He is more than charming and helpful.

Ricky Difeo, thanks for starting this thread and letting us Americans know the Argentinian master had finally tipped his HO work!!! I'm very excited to see how this device should be used.

The 3 DVD set on THE INVISIBLE HAND by Vernet is pure gold. Michel is the king of the Hold Out. I spent lots of time with Michel in Argentina last May. Anyone wanted to do real magic while standing should master this stuff. You will not be disappointed. Your audiences will be thrilled.

The DVDs arrived from Vernet.

The production values are excellent. Michel has a wonderful speaking voice, in English. His polish as a performer shines through in every frame.

You could easily manufacture your own hold out and adjust it to fit you with the information on the DVDs. I don't see the Vernet Hold-Out listed for sale on their website. I suspect they're churning them out. If you need one, email Michel at Vernet. His command of the English language is complete. He can tell you if they plan to stock them again. I simply have no idea.

It really takes very, very little to rig one up on your own. If you're completely inept the least expensive, yet completely functional HO available is still available from John Rogers at: His video, showcasing his HO is also great!!! Get it too! (Smokin' Candies)

The routines on the Vernet DVDs are mostly Michel's with a few twists on standard routines. There is significantly more material on these DVDs than come with the Perfect Hold Out DVD. The fact Michel is speaking in English instead of being dubbed over is a significant plus.

I'm a hold-out nut. I was entranced by the background information. They have some pictures and video of some varied hold outs. I found it fascinating. You mileage may vary.

With Antonio Romero's package you get 3 routines that are fairly complex. You also get a very advanced and completely functional hold out. With Michel's package you get three beautifully produced DVDs with many more applications.

Overall, I have spent far more time with the Romero DVD. What Antonio's DVD lacks in production values, for me, it more than made up for it in seeing a true master use his very refined hold-out. I think Antonio Romero's skill with the hold-out is just a thing of freakin' beauty. Smooooooth baby, smooooooth.

I think Antonio Romero's product is a great bargain. Google for it. I'll bet the best price you find is here: ... t+hold+out

50 bucks less than anywhere else. They shipped very quickly and have an excellent and friendly staff.

BUT . . . I had found or discovered much of the information Michel puts out. For sheer quality of information delivered. The Vernet DVDs are unmatched by everything under 2000 dollars.

The information that comes with the F/K model is on an entirely different level. You get what you pay for.

If you have little previous experience with a hold out and are wondering if it provides enough pop or pizazz to add to your arsenal. Get Michel's DVDs from Vernet. It will answer any question you could have for practicality or level of difficulty.

If you are a long-time Hold-Out user. Get it anyway you know you have to have it.

My own experience is with a model much more refined than the model Michel uses. He is very, very talented with the model he uses. He has an excellent product for any and all who want to learn how to use a gravity hold-out. He also provided me a wonderful model of how a professional magician could use this device.

Best guys ever with this toy remain Mssrs. Fitch and Kohler. If you have the dough, send uncle Bob or uncle Bob some long green and get the real work.

I have zero economic connection of any type of with any of the products I recommended. They all have provided me some great toys though!!!

    You won't exactly start from scratch but you might encounter new difficulties or not. Now you count with experience and knowledge, but it's a new BB and is also a learning period for him/her too. In my own experience the second was easier in the sense that I knew what to expect, but I did get mastitis (pretty painful) and he was more difficult to teach. My first one I had bleeding nipples, engorgement, etc., until I saw a LC and told me what I was doing wrong, the problem was corrected in a few days, she was a quick learner. Congratulations!!

    Default Baby food pyramid

    Hi there,

    DD is 10 months old and still getting pretty much all her calories from breast milk. I've tried to offer her a wide variety of foods since she was six months old but never in very large quantities. Now that she's approaching her first year, though, I feel like I need to start giving her larger portions at each sitting, but I'm uncertain as to how much of each of the food groups to give, especially since I intend to continue breastfeeding. Is there a guide that's similar to the food pyramid, but for babies?

Nice edit! I've searched for over an hour with no luck.

Morning bump.

Living withpartial pancreas and spleen
jimmy1one posted:
My wife is scheduled for partial Pancreas removal and complete Spleen removal. I'm a lot more afraid of the surgery than she is. My issue is the risk of infection and her quality of life after the surgery. I also have an issue with the lack of information she has been given prior to the operation. Could you guys enlighten me, Am I overly concerned or should the effects on her quality of life be an issue. Note she has a tumor on her Pancreas that has not been diagnosed as cancerous and her Spleen is completely healthy. The removal of her Spleen is cautionary.
georgiagail responded:
Many live without a spleen and do fine. Removal of part of the pancreas can cause health issues depending on which part is removed. For example, if the part that produces insulin is removed, your wife will now be diabetic.

Why hasn't the tumor on her pancreas been biopsied and what problems is it causing her?
