HTML5 for Audio Applications
HTML5 lets you play music through compliant browsers—no "cloud" required.
Recently, "cloud"-based music services, from big names like Amazon, Google and Apple, have been getting attention in the press. These services allow you to store your music on a corporate server and access it through your own Internet-connected device anytime you like. It's easy to see the appeal of these services. This is the kind of thing the Internet is for, right?
If you're reading this article, you're probably a Linux user, and as often happens, support for Linux is being neglected by these big corporate solutions. For example, Apple's service relies on its proprietary iTunes application, which doesn't exist in Linux. Other products have a Web interface, but uploading works only through a proprietary "app" not available for Linux users. Who wants to use proprietary software anyway? File-type support is limited as well with all the corporate products I've mentioned. Most of my own music is stored in Ogg Vorbis files, and none of the big company services seem to support it, lack of patents notwithstanding. There also are financial costs associated with the corporate offerings (explicit fees comparable to Internet-hosting costs, vendor lock-in and so on) that also are unattractive.
"Cloud" music services have other downsides as well. They are all intended for personal use. What if you want to share music with other people? (I am, of course, talking about legal music sharing involving files with Creative Commons-type free licensing or recorded cover songs with appropriate royalty payments being made to songwriters through licensing agencies like the Harry Fox Agency.) Cloud services can't help you. Also, transfer to the service is one-way. Aside from listening to your music, once you transfer music to the service, you can't download it again easily if something happens to your personal storage. What if you want to use your own storage solution, like your own personal (and appropriately secured) Internet-accessible Web server? What if you live outside the United States, where some cloud services are not yet available?
Playing Music through Your Browser
A typical browser supports multiple audio file types, regardless of the operating system running it. They all support different file types, however, and there are some interesting surprises, the most notable one being that Firefox/Iceweasel doesn't support MP3 files because of patent and licensing issues. That's okay, because it supports the patent-unencumbered Ogg Vorbis format used by many Linux users. So does Google's Chrome, and even Apple's Safari can play Ogg Vorbis with Xiph's QuickTime Components installed (see Resources).
Let's try it. Imagine you have an Ogg Vorbis file named test.ogg in the directory /home/me/music/. You can open it in a Linux-based browser like Chrome or Firefox with the URL file:///home/me/music/test.ogg. Your browser should load the file and start to play it. You'll see a player in the browser tab/window similar to the one shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Google Chrome's default audio player control—other browsers have similar control sets, but different appearances.
Browsers render controls differently, but you'll see all the usual controls: play/pause button, position slider, current track position indicator and volume control. Note how much HTML you've had to write so far: none. If all you really want to do is play one file at a time, and you don't care what exactly shows up in the browser window, you can stop reading now.
Most Web users care about appearances, so the default audio controls alone probably won't cut it for most people. Fortunately, you can put an audio player explicitly in any HTML page. It's a lot like adding an image to a page. Instead of using an img element, you use an audio element, and the syntax of the two elements is similar. For example, to load and play test.ogg in an otherwise-empty HTML page using the browser's default controls, you could use the following page:
<audio src="test.ogg" controls>Get an HTML5 browser!</audio>
Note that HTML5 simplifies the syntax of the root HTML element from
what you might be used to. The message "Get an HTML5 browser!" will
appear only when the page is loaded in a non-HTML5 browser. Other
users will see a player element like the one shown in Figure 1, thanks to
the controls attribute being set. By default, the audio element has
no controls. (HTML5 allows you to set an attribute without a value. If
you prefer something more XML-like, you can set an attribute to itself
instead—for example, controls="controls"
It's easy to modify the audio tag for some simple use cases. If you want a sound clip to play in the background with no controls, you can omit the controls attribute:
<audio src="test.ogg" autoplay>Get an HTML5 browser!</audio>
You can add a loop attribute to make the audio file restart upon completion:
<audio src="test.ogg" autoplay loop>Get an HTML5 browser!</audio>
As I mentioned earlier, different browsers support different file formats, and they aren't all the same. Ogg Vorbis works for Chrome, Firefox and Safari (with Xiph's extension), but other browsers need something else, like MP3. At the time of this writing, it seems that all browsers support one or the other, but not necessarily both. What can you do to fix this problem?
HTML5 has another element called source that replaces the src attribute of the audio tag. It goes inside the audio element. Unlike the src attribute, you can have multiple source elements inside an audio tag. A browser will load the file referenced by the first source element it finds that it can actually work with. Let's look at the first example again, this time with source attributes:
<audio controls>
<source src="test.ogg"/>
<source src="test.mp3"/>
Get an HTML5 browser!
A browser will attempt to read and play test.ogg first. If it fails for whatever reason (it can't find the file, it can't play that file type and so on), it simply will move on to test.mp3 and use that instead. Use as many source elements as you like, although in practice, two is usually enough.
Adding a Custom User Interface
Here's a simple example. The following page displays a single play/pause button instead of the native controls:
<audio src="test.ogg" id="player" loop>Get an HTML5 browser!</audio>
<form id="interface">
<input type="button" value="Play"
↪onclick="PlayPause()" id="playpause"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
var audioPlayer = document.getElementById("player");
function PlayPause()
if (audioPlayer.paused)
document.getElementById("playpause").value = "Pause";
document.getElementById("playpause").value = "Play";
After the page loads, press the Play button to start playing test.ogg in
a loop. When a user presses the button, the browser calls the audio player
object's play()
function to start playing the track. The button label then
changes to Pause. You then can press the same button to pause the audio,
which calls the audio player object's pause()
function to pause playback.
There are many attributes and methods associated with an audio player. You
can change the current play time of the player by changing the
property. Change the volume by changing the volume
attribute. There are
many others, not all of them implemented in all browsers at the time of
this writing. For more information, see the W3C HTML5 specification listed in
the Resources section of this article, as well as the documentation for your preferred

Really? What about streaming? The article doesn't discuss this important aspect of serving audio over the internet.
This excellent article does
This excellent article does not mention the word "streaming" but it is all about streaming with more freedom than using proprietary and restrictive servers.
No, this article is merely
No, this article is merely about transfering media files to the client using HTTP, then relying on the MIME type to select an appropriate audio player (app or plugin). From Wikipedia: "Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider."
As internet connections get faster it's easy to lose sight of the distinction, particularly when dealing with relatively small files like music tracks. Obviously, this method can't be used to deliver programs of indefinite duration, like internet radio.
Some file formats (e.g. MP3) do lend themselves to being decoded before the entire file has been received. Players that support this provide 'pseudo streaming'. For internet radio and the like there is no substitute for proper streaming.
Great article
Thanks for sharing such good article.
I'm a webmaster so I like to know more and more and update myself with the latest technologies like html5.
WebM Audio
"Ogg Vorbis works for Chrome, Firefox and Safari (with Xiph's extension), but other browsers need something else, like MP3. At the time of this writing, it seems that all browsers support one or the other, but not necessarily both. What can you do to fix this problem?"
WebM audio is also an option - supposedly, MS Internet Explorer 9+ allows WebM to work if the Microsoft Media Foundation components are installed.
The nice thing is that WebM audio uses the same Vorbis codec audio as Ogg Vorbis, so you can remultiplex between Ogg and WebM without reencoding.
ffmpeg -i SomeAudio.ogg -codec copy -f webm SomeAudio.webm
Assuming IE9+ works properly with the Microsoft Media addon, there's no need to deal with patent restrictions of mp3 unless the ~2% of general web users on iPads® is an urgent part of your target market.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Two suspects believed to be involved in a home invasion and rape are in custody following a police pursuit and car crash in north St. Louis Friday night.
Officers spotted a stolen 2012 Volkswagon Passat at Union Boulevard and Saint Louis Avenue around 10:30 p.m. and attempted to stop the vehicle. The suspects fled from police, then crashed into another vehicle at Natural Bridge and Goodfellow.
Investigators say they believe two of the five suspects in the car were involved in a home invasion and rape that happened Thursday night in the 3000 block of Chippewa.
Police say two suspects forced their way into the home and forced the three victims onto the ground at gunpoint. Investigators say a television, laptop, printer and three cell phones were taken from the victims. During the invasion, an 18-year-old woman was raped.
Officers say two men fled from police after the vehicle crashed, but were later captured and identified as suspects in the home invasion and rape. The three other suspects in the car were taken into custody without incident.
Narcotics and a firearm were reportedly found in the vehicle following a police search. Police have not released information about charges.

Regular Cannabis Seeds
Regular cannabis seeds are all natural marijuana seeds that haven't been chemically altered or genetically modified in any way. They are the purest genetics, bred from male and female parents and produce approximately 50% male and 50% female offspring.
Despite the popularity of feminised marijuana seeds, regular seeds are still offered by many breeders. Regular cannabis seeds offer the same genetics at a lower price than their feminised versions and often do a better job of retaining the best features of each parent plant.
Regular marijuana seeds are popular among growers who wish to pollinate the female plants in order to get their own stock of regular cannabis seeds for future use. They are also the choice of traditional gardeners who are unconvinced by the concept of feminised seed technology, even though it is now a reliable science.
When you buy regular cannabis seeds you should expect to get roughly 50% male and 50% female plants, but please note this may vary.

A question was offered to me today from a Morman friend that I am working with. He asked what atheist groups do for society. This was a question that I am unsure of and thought that I would ask this group...any ideas???...not just on what Atheist groups do, but what could we do???
I don't think Atheist groups should do a thing for society - just as non-Republicans shouldn't be all getting together to do things for society. Now if you happen to be a Humanist, then you might have a foundation for social action. I happen to hold some core humanist values that have lead me to do a lot of volunteer work but I wouldn't suggest for a second that I did that volunteer work because I'm NOT a member of a religious organization.
For the most part I'm inclined to believe that atheists don't do things for the community as atheists; atheists do things for the community as individual conscientious human beings.
I don't attach my stance on religion to any charities, activism or community building that I support. If I am asked or it becomes relevant, I am honest, but it isn't "Kris the atheist" doing these deeds; it's "Kris the not totally spoiled and self-centred person" trying to give back to the world a little.
Sorry if that doesn't answer the question very well.
It's a silly question isn't it? Kind of like asking what do people who don't like broccoli do for the community?
I believe that In general, Atheists don't discriminate as much and therefore feel the need to create an exclusive group to do good things.
If you would like some things to tell your Morman friend, I donate 12+ hours per week to working with kids(as much as I can while juggling a 40 hour per week job and partial ownership in 2 companies). Also, 20% of my capital gains(I don't pay much in taxes on those anyway) get donated to the MDA and Make A Wish.
He asked what atheist groups do for society.
They allow atheists to group themselves together and associate with eachother, similar to how churches allow christians to associate. More to the point, what does it matter what atheists do for the community? If you're a super nice person, does it change the validity of your point of view? no.
what could we do???
The same as any other group. If you see a problem, take steps towards fixing it and providing assistance to the victims.
Right now I'm training as a Community Emergency Response Team member with my county. Our job is to mitigate the loss of property and life when disaster strikes, and to asses the situation before first responders arrive. I'll be trained in basic medical care and so on.
Well,I pay my taxes every year (unlike the church.) I donate to several secular organizations. I'm a member of the 'Freedom from Religion Foundation' and the 'American Humanist Assoc.', and I converse with interesting, like minded people such as yourselves here on TA on topics that affect the secular members of our society in general, all who strive (I trust) to maintain that wall of separation between church and state that protects our freedoms and helps to keep the illegal activity of most of the self serving religious somewhat at bay. I also watch for and report on infringements locally as well as in society in general and act on alerts to petition local congress for equal treatment for all of society, not just those who think they're special.
But on a personal level I'm not so sure 'Atheist' defines us as a group, an atheist is 'A person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.' Okay, that just means that you're fully awake. As a positive definition of myself all I have to do is look at the amazing advances in science and technology and the medical "miracles" that we as a race have achieved, and would like to count myself in as a member of the most advanced race of beings in the Universe (well, so far as we know anyways,) being part of something so important towards future generations to come, I say Go Humans! As a secular-Humanist-Naturalist I feel like a member of those who work for the betterment of society and not that of those who actually look forward to the end of times as prophesized in their bible. We're part of the proverbial right brain of society and that gives some meaning to my life in this world of confusion. So what should we do? Be active, be a part of the betterment of society and support like minds, because, after all, we're all we've got.
The most important thing we do as atheists is question the validity of religion. This in turn prods the religious to hopefully re-examine their belief system and the foundation on which it was built. In short, we prompt others to think.
But like broccoli as atheists we have no specific civic sense of duty.
the conversation continues - "My point of the discussion is that organized religion is one of the best groups which create a "community" which can be very effective in helping others because of there caring and their numbers. The amount of good that religious based organizations do is immeasurable." -
I think it is largely measurable and measured. All charities need to be vetted these days to make sure that funds and resources are not being squandered. It holds especially true for religious charities due to the concern for proselytization through charity and community service.
There is a long-standing tradition of religion being associated with charity, which probably made cultural sense for a long time, but as religion recedes in many cultures I think that it becomes a less and less efficient avenue. I will give to a charity that has a religious affiliation if I feel it is a good cause and the charity appears to be above board, but ultimately, I just don't see the point in mixing the two things. If I want to fight, let's say, cancer, I'll rally support within any community regardless of religious affiliation. I don't want to be divisive.
It's true that church congregations themselves have been good places to rally community support, and I'll freely admit that there aren't many comparable replacements, but I still don't know how efficient these community groups are. How much money raised goes to church pockets and coffers? How much of the energy is focused on promoting church interests? How much direct and meaningful support do individual members receive from the broader congregation when in need? How efficient are the measures taken by various congregations, and do the contributions of churches outweigh the value of their tax breaks?
These days the larger group efforts I see actually come from workplaces in my community. Sure, sometimes it's about PR, but in most cases, work is just the most common community centre for many of us, so in the absence of doing religiously based activities, we channel our energy into our peers in our professional lives. I think that will be the growing trend.
We take the place of the 'Sacred fool'. We ask dumb questions to embarrase! Cause people to think that the weaker argument is the stronger! Assert that the number of gods is different! Wear funny buttons! Take the side of socially marginalized groups! Notice the waste and off-all of sacred cows! And offend authority as needed!
All in the desire to overcome absurdity....

Dear Ms. Valentina: I am so impressed with your artworks!!!! I am married with three pets and LOVE animals/outdoors/patterns!!!! I have retired and now will use my "spare time" for my "new career", photography of all areas! I love art appreciation, fashion, domestic/wildlife rescue, anti-bullying support groups, travel, and foreign languages. I opened a Flickr account primarily for my future photography with my Nikon D7000, and uploaded your artwork with your text, artwork tags to begin my posts. I am an upmost professional and, thus, gave you credit for your artwork as well as posting your Society 6.com info. I really do love all your artworks as they bring such joy to my life and encourage inspiration within me. Thank you for sharing such excellent creativity and intelligence with all who view your work. You can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or concerns about me posting to flickr group page of nearly 4,000 group members. I want your work to "shine" amongst all the other great artistry like you. My husband paints and is photographer. I, alas, cannot draw, but I admire and have studied art all my life. I am still waiting for the right day to go to our Tyler, TX., USA zoo where the flamingoes are so beautiful to take a photo! Sincerely, Sarah Carolann Broaddus. :) PS: I have already framed your beautiful peacock for my office, and the flickr group is very impressed with the peacock. The group chairman invited and asked me to post it to an art group of about 4,000 members. Kudos for you. :)))

It all pure and creative entertainment.
The Madonna show was brilliant . It was a resume of her Hits songs with a twist of Cleopatra a la Liz Taylor entering Rome with Sumerian and all kinds of esoteric symbols from the past history of planet earth.
The eye and the pyramid is right on your American dollar without counting other esoteric symbols. Are you going to burn your money because it a as symbol of the Illuminati.
To get a show going like this for 12 minutes in that proportion can only be stated as GENIUS.
Madona's talent is remarkable so as the hundreds that took part to make that production.
Its a bloody show pure and simple.
I saw a few of her shows and saw her films and although controversy at time she is talented brilliant and has a good heart.
She is an amazing women who built her empire on her own.
To bad for some of you see the devil everywhere when he does not exist.

The Blues would love to sign defenseman Danny DeKeyser, a collegiate free agent who rose to elite prospect status under Western Michigan University coach Andy Murray.
(Yes, that Andy Murray — the former Blues coach who reinvented himself into a successful college hockey mentor.)
DeKeyser is ready to bolt to the NHL this week and the Blues hockey staff is in hot pursuit. Of course, every NHL team has shown interest in him and the Detroit Red Wings would love to keep the Michigan native close to home.
He had college eligibility left, but Murray believes DeKeyser is ready for the next level right now.
"He'll play right away in the NHL," Murray told MLive.com "Now, do they deem next year he needs to play a few games in the AHL, I don't know, but I know right now teams will want to put him in their lineup."
DeKeyser, 23, does have a bit of work to do. At 6-foot-3 and 198 pounds, he will need to continue filling out his lanky frame. He is a defensive-minded player, so his offensive game is still evolving.
"He's got things to learn, so I don't want to say he's totally ready, but he'll learn that on the job," Murray said. "First of all, he's a real competitor. Every drill in practice he does all out. He doesn't cheat on any drill. He has great skating ability. His skating was good last year. To me, the biggest thing people wanted to see was more of an offensive game and more strength and he did both.
"He's got a great defensive stick. The most important thing is he thinks about the game real well. He makes plays and decisions that are the right decisions. He knows what he needs to do one step ahead of the play and that's important."
The Blues could sorely use DeKeyser to fill a void in their player development cycle. Ian Cole failed to develop into a reliable Top 6 defenseman this season and the Peoria Rivermen are bereft of blue-chip defensive prospects.
(On a positive note, defenseman Joel Edmundson, a 2011 draft pick playing in Kamloops, made the latest Hockey News Hot List of promising prospects.)
Now would be a great time to spend extra to fill a void. But could the Blues ever expect to outbid the mighty Red Wings for a young player?
Let's explore the Twitterverse to see how the DeKeyser Sweepstakes are shaping up:
Chris Peters, United States of Hockey: "Source w/knowledge of process believes DET, ANA, NSH, EDM, Blues, and TB are strongest contenders for DeKeyser."
John Buccigross, ESPN: "I hear Detroit, Edmonton, Anaheim, St. Louis, Nashville are final 5 for Western Michigan's Dan DeKeyser. With family in Michigan-Wings favorite."
Andy Strickland, TrueHockey.com: "Blues remain interested in Western Michigan's Dan Dekeyser . . . as I reported before, Al Macinnis has done a solid job recruiting."
Craig Custance, ESPN.com: "Expect a decision from talented college UFA D Danny DeKeyser by Thursday or no later than Friday morning. Tons of interest."
Kukla'sCorner.com: "Glenn Healy on HNIC Hotstove said Danny DeKeyser has a Tuesday meeting in the office of player agent Don Meehan and the process will begin."
Terry Koshan, Toronto Sun: "Leafs will be making a pitch for UFA D Danny DeKeyser this week, along with several other teams."
Bob Stauffer, CHED Radio Edmonton: "If you read between the lines of what Justin Schultz had to say he will likely be involved in the recruitment of Danny Dekeyser."
Katie Strang, ESPN.com: "Rangers won't be making in-person pitch for college FA Danny Dekeyser. Not believed to be among frontrunners, focusing efforts elsewhere."
AROUND THE RINKS: Another player capable of filling the team's developmental void is perpetual Blues prospect Jori Lehtera, a rangy Finnish forward who is starring in the KHL. Lehtera, 25, gave North America a brief whirl back in 2008-09 and lasted all of seven games with the Rivermen. Now Andy Strickland notes that a guaranteed NHL deal could woo him back over the pond. Could he become another Petr Cajanek-caliber addition? . . . The Oilers wobbled into down on the heels on a 3-2 loss at Nashville, their third consecutive defeat overall. Blues goaltender Jake Allen will get every chance to solidify his No. 1 goaltender standing tonight as he returns to the nets . . . The Ducks lost three home games in a four-day span to tighten up the Western Conference a bit. Goaltender Viktor Fasth suffered two of those losses while stopping just seven of 49 shots . . . What did the latest NHL lockout accomplish? Not much, really, because enigmatic winger Alexander Semin just got a five-year, $35 million contract extension to stay in hockey-mad Raleigh, N.C., for the long haul. That Gary Bettman sure knows how to bring hockey economics back in line . . . On the other hand, Carolina turned the Jussi Jokinen page. Some other team will take a shot on the supporting cast shootist . . . So whatever became of former NHL maniac "The Missing" Link Gaetz? Plenty, as you could imagine . . . Our Town's Ben Bishop had another career highlight by outdueling Martin Brodeur for a 3-2 shootout victory Monday night for the Senators . . . Rather than go for a veteran coach like Lindy Ruff, Lightning GM Steve Yzerman stressed player developing by promoting his AHL coach, Jon Cooper. Might that signal an overhaul and the exit of several veteran players?

Diphtheria is an acute infection caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium diphtheriae.
Diphtheria spreads through respiratory droplets (such as from a cough or sneeze) of an infected person or someone who carries the bacteria but has no symptoms.
The bacteria most commonly infects your nose and throat. The throat infection causes a gray to black, tough, fiber-like covering, which can block your airways. In some cases, diphtheria infects your skin first and causes skin lesions .
Once you are infected, the bacteria make dangerous substances called toxins. The toxins spread through your bloodstream to other organs, such as the heart and brain, and cause damage.
Because of widespread vaccination (immunization) of children, diphtheria is now rare in many parts of the world.
Risk factors for diphtheria include crowded environments, poor hygiene, and lack of immunization.
Symptoms usually occur 1 - 7 days after the bacteria enter your body:
Note: There may be no symptoms.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and look inside your mouth. This may reveal a gray to black covering (pseudomembrane) in the throat, enlarged lymph glands , and swelling of the neck or larynx.
Tests used may include:
If the health care provider thinks you have diphtheria, treatment will likely be started right away, even before test results come back.
Diphtheria antitoxin is given as a shot into a muscle or through an IV (intravenous line). The infection is then treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin and erythromycin.
You may need to stay in the hospital while getting the antitoxin. Other treatments may include:
Persons without symptoms who carry diphtheria should be treated with antibiotics.
Diphtheria may be mild or severe. Some people may not have symptoms. In others, the disease can slowly get worse. Recovery from the illness is slow.
People may die, especially when the disease affects the heart.
The most common complication is inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis ). The nervous system is also frequently and severely affected, which may result in temporary paralysis .
The diphtheria toxin can also damage the kidneys.
There can also be an allergic response to the antitoxin.
Contact your health care provider right away if you have come in contact with a person who has diphtheria.
Diphtheria is a rare disease. It is also a reportable disease , and any cases are often publicized in the newspaper or on television. This helps you to know if diphtheria is present in your area.
If you have been in close contact with a person who has diphtheria, contact your health care provider right away. Ask whether you need antibiotics to prevent getting diphtheria.
Routine childhood immunizations and adult boosters prevent the disease.
Anyone who has come into contact with an infected person should get an immunization or booster shot against diphtheria, if they have not already received it. Protection from the vaccine lasts only 10 years. So it is important for adults to get a booster vaccine every 10 years. The booster is called tetanus-diphtheria (Td). (The shot also has vaccine medicine for an infection called tetanus .)

NOX wrote:Captain's Log - 9/7/2009
Pandora's box was not filled with candy.
Name: Leonardo "Leo" de Huet (it sounds like suit)
Gender: Male
Character Type: Demonologist
Specialization: Possession
Appearance: 26 years old. 5'8". Caucasian. Leo has a pretty non-special face. You could easily mistake him for every other guy out there. The only thing that really sets him apart from everybody else is his snow white hair. He keeps it fairly short but long enough to cover his ears.
Clothing wise he wears cloths that could stem out of the renaissance age. A light brown coat with many decorative marking along the collar, it closes by three large buttons that are located halfway down the coat. Underneath he wears a white poet's shirt. Wears long loose fitting pants, with knee high brown boots over them. The boots are also decorated with symbols and the like.
With his cloths on Leo almost looks like nobility. Underneath his cloths however he has a heavily scarred body from all the transformation he had gone through, a lot of them are rather violent. And of course the trademark runes that are carved into his body, cleverly covered up by tattoos afterwards. For him his tattoos are running along his right arm.
Weaponry: Rapier and an assortment of random demonic powers.
Personality: A liar, an actor. Not a single emotion he portrays is genuine. He's emotionless, or soulless as he calls it. Sometimes he thinks this is the reason demons have such a hard time trying to take him over, there's nothing for them to manipulate.
He is in no way evil or 'bad'. But he is a master manipulator. No one has ever been able to figure him out.
Background: Son of two technicians, he was obviously named after the great Leonardo Da Vinci. He was a strange baby though, even at his birth he remained calm, to the point where the doctor thought he was dead. They first thought it was just a small phase for the baby, but he kept quiet even weeks after that. Never smiling or laughing, but neither did he cry. His parent were afraid that perhaps there was something wrong with him, but the doctors couldn't find any abnormalities. They told them to just wait it out.
Years went by, but Leo didnt change. But he was in no sense retarded or anything, he was just very quiet and introvert to the extreme. He never really talked about anything, and really only spoke whenever spoken to.
When he got to the age where he was send off to school, his parents were hoping that the interaction with the other kids would pull him out of his shell. No such luck though, he kept his normal quiet self and stayed away from the others. His teachers tried everything they could think of to get Leo to socialize with the other kids, but to no avail.
Still, Leo was just a kid and needed someone to talk to, someone who would understand him. That was when he got himself a imaginary friend. Or so he thought at the time. Her name was Persephone, and was of the same age as him. He'd talk hours on end with her, about everything. She was a good listener. And he'd listen to her about her stories of far away lands, and fantasize about going there once. These were the only times he would actually show any kind of joy. His parents were of course confused about the situation, on the one hand their son was finally opening up a little, but on the other hand he was opening up to something that wasnt there.
In hindsight he really should've known better. You see, she didnt exactly look human. Or well, her upper half did, but her lower half was covered in blackened scales and her feet had claws, instead of nails. This also included her hands and most of her upper arm. When he was a kid this somehow didnt bother him that much, nor the fact that she was always naked. He obviously never told anybody of this, not that anybody asked.
More years went by, and Leo finally hit the age where he was considered to be too old to have an imaginary friend. He also started to notice that too many people were following him around, to make sure he was doing alright. He liked his privacy, so he had no choice but to change.
So the first thing he had to do, was getting rid of Persephone. She had figured out what was happening pretty quickly, and at first tried to peacefully make Leo change his mind. But he ignored her, it was the only way he could think of on getting rid of her. And apparently it worked, because Persephone became more and more angry at him, but at the same time weaker. he would see her less and less, until she was gone one day. His first step to changing himself.
The second step was learning to mingle with the other kids. But this seemed to be harder than he had thought, he just didnt feel anything. The concept of a soul was also explained at that time, and he thought it was that that was what he was missing. He had no soul. Still, there had to be some way to make people stop watching him?
The solution came when he went to the theater with the whole class. It was some old black and white drama movie, that nobody was really interested in. But for Leo, who had never been to the theater, it opened a whole new world. These actors did exactly what he needed! From that moment on he started to learn how to fake certain emotions, how to laugh at the precise moment, what to say at the precise moment, everything that would make him look normal. It was a long road to perfection, with many many bumps along the way, but eventually he mastered it. And that was when they declared him normal, and the eyes stopped prying.
By the age of 16 he decided to enroll into the magic school of Demonology. Much to his parents disdain, they always hoped he would follow in their footsteps and become a technician himself. But he wanted to know more about souls, and why he was so different from the others.
It was easy for him to blend into the new school, he knew what to say and what not to say, to smile where to smile and where not to smile. He made sure he was never associated with the so called 'cool kids' nor the bottom ring. He kept in the gray middle, where no one would bother him.
He found out that he was exceptionally well in the possession classes. He would never ace a test though, even though he knew he could, all to keep up the appearance of staying in the middle.
In his second year they were finally introduced to the wonders of possession. They had already seen someone getting possessed quite a few times now, and now it was finally taught to them.
They warned everybody about these lessons, that the chances of going insane, or even losing control could easily happen. Leo didnt really fear anything, but faked that he did, and then he faked acting tough to cover it up. Life was so complicated.
The day it happened they were all lined up outside a large chamber, normally used for lectures and practicals. inside a ring of priests stood, ready to banish any demon out of a student in case it went wrong.
There were three students before him. he never saw them leave the chamber after they went in, though the screams from inside told him enough. When it was finally his turn, he faked being nervous about it. The tutor explained what was going to happen. First they were going to carve the runes into his skin, allowing him to communicate and control the underworld. After that he was to tame a demon, and take it's power. If he passed that, he would pass this year. If he didnt pass, he would be expelled from the school.
The carving of the runes wasnt especially painful, the priests made sure of that. He had chosen to let them run across his right arm.
Getting into the underworld wasnt that hard, they had been reading up about it for a full year now. Actually seeing the underworld was a lot harder. It was exactly like our world, only blasted to hell... Sorry. A nasty storm seemed to be constantly blowing through the various cracks in the buildings, eroding the stone walls even further. Dark figures soared the sky, visible through the cracked roof.
That was when he spotted her, Persephone. She was casually sitting there, on one of the students desks. She had grown to a full woman now. She smiled at him as if nothing had happened, as if they were just two friend meeting again. "I always knew I'd see you here one day." he had forgotten how honey sweet her voice had sounded back in the days, it was even worse now. For the first time in his life he was actually stunned, he had never really thought much about what Persephone actually was. How could a kid possibly have a link like that to the underworld?
He was at a loss of words as Persephone slowly, and gracefully, got up and approached him. She placed her finger on his lips "Ssh ssh shh, you dont have to speak. I know why you had to do it." she had circled around him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "You had to do it because people were watching you." she lay her head between his shoulder blades. "But now... Now we can be together again, forever." it was the way she said forever, a twisted vile sound, that snapped Leo back to life. He struggled out of her embrace and stepped away from her "What did you do with the other students that came here?" he said coldly, a flinch of hatred could be seen on Persephone' face. "Those I considered unworthy, so I disposed of them." she let out a malicious chuckle. "Much unlike you." she came walking towards Leo again, caressing her body, but he backed off "I know of this test Leo, you are here to tame a demon and take it's power. And I'm willing to help you. Tame me Leo, tame me." she said in her most seductive voice as another malicious chuckle followed, but Leo remained calm as ever. He was the real master here. And for some reason Persephone seemed to have picked this up, because her laugh quickly died away.
He felt the runes on his arm burn with energy as he willed the demon in front of him in submission. "I control you now, Persephone." He saw that Persephone was struggling, until finally she buckled and let her head hang. "Have it your way, dearest Leo. You may take my power, for now. But know that I will be watching over you."
And just like that he was back in the chamber, where apparently only a few seconds had passed. A most terrible pain was rippling through him, as the left side of his body was slowly transforming. Blackened scales grew out of his hands and legs, and he was also pretty sure he was growing a single breast. By the time the pain had left him, he found himself on hands and knees breathing heavily. His vision was strange, he saw the outlines of his own hands light up with a blue aura. And as he looked up, he also saw that same aura around the priests and the tutor. The man applauded and moved in closer. "Congratulations, you have successfully been possessed by a demon, and kept control." he held a mirror in front of him, showing him that exactly half his body, his left side to be precise, had turned into that of Persephone. Including black hair and a single breast. Leo looked at himself in the mirror unable to speak. But the pain quickly returned, as his body started to return to normal again. It was a horrifying experience. He was exhausted and collapsed on the floor by the time it was done. The tutor and priests stood around him, but he was also certain a new person was in the room now. An old friend.
"We'll be together. Forever."
Additional Training: Taken up fencing in his spare time, which makes him a swordsman to be reckoned with.

In response to this growing need, Mentor Graphics has developed Calibre PERC to address reliability challenges that arise during the circuit and electrical verification process. PERC is specifically designed to perform electrostatic discharge (ESD) and multiple power domain checks. Calibre PERC allows you to customize ERC checks at the schematic level as well as geometrical and electrical checks at layout, which gives you more power and flexibility to handle emerging circuit verification demands for design implementation.
You Will Learn How To:
- Create job-specific Calibre PERC control files.
- Invoke Calibre PERC from the command line and from the interactive GUI.
- Open Calibre PERC results in Calibre RVE.
- Use Calibre RVE to highlight PERC results in netlist, schematic, and layout views.
- Apply Calibre PERC to typical ERC and ESD design scenarios.
- Analyze both Spice netlists and chip layout data.
Hands-on labs
- Command line invocation of Calibre PERC
- Using the Calibre PERC interactive GUI for job setup and execution
- Creating and editing PERC job control files
- Highlighting PERC results using Calibre RVE

Honorable Mention
The idea was born of the name DREAM and the fact the center engages in stimulating children`s creativity as a force that builds self-esteem. Logo associations are illustrations of clouds as a fictional place for developing imagination and comic book-like narrative clouds as a form of desire and need for expression.
Each cloud renders a program (Dance, Read, Express, Art, Music) DREAM Center occupies itself with. Each of them has one`s own colour which in the further development of standards can be applied as a separate colour and logo for each of the programs.

quote:As far as current calls for "financial compensation" for slavery. This won't do anything but hurt the black community. For one, our country can't afford it. This would hurt the country and in turn hurt the black community as they live here.
quote:this money would primarily go towards rims, speakers and liquor.
quote:As an added note, I was not supporting not refuting the argument about genetic predetermination of intellect. I know nothing in that matter and won't pretend to. I was merely stating that IF it is the case, there is little we can do about it
quote:Sorry for insinuating
quote: But all I am arguing is essentially what you wrote: every race and every ethnicity has all the mental tools to be successful in America. If they are not, it is because of other factors.
quote:Creating myths that we all can make it if we work hard, or we can all go to college and get a a degree is dangerous bull shite. People with IQ's below 85 will likely have a very difficult time in society.
quote:So I guess some people should give up, use their "IQ" as an excuse and simply never try?
quote:Thats definitely not dangerous to society, amirite?
quote:Where did I complain? Where did I use slavery as an excuse for current day situation?
quote:You're the one who brought up the past. You argued whites are entitled to this privilege because they built it. All I did was counter with a couple of sentences explaining your statement was a bit of revisionist history. Thats all. No where did I "complain."
quote:I never suggested that
quote:Why have they given up? Why do 1/2 of our black scholars not even graduate from a weak high school system with low standards? Why is unemployment so high in certain segments of the population?
quote: IDK, maybe you went around telling people that it is a "myth" that if you work hard you can achieve your goals, so they said "F it, it doesn't matter what I do, I'm doomed apparently."
quote:Yea, you kind of did.
quote:What do you think will happen if this "myth" that working hard and dedicating yourself will reap you benefits in the future is no longer "believed" by many people.
quote:Many will say "F it, doesn't matter what I do, I'm doomed apparently."
quote:IDK, maybe you went around telling people that it is a "myth" that if you work hard you can achieve your goals, so they said "F it, it doesn't matter what I do, I'm doomed apparently."
quote:I guess I should clarify that I'm speaking of the black community in general not you.
quote:That and "financial compensation" (including government aid) has been stated to have been "earned" by African Americans due to past grievances
quote:Even if we disagree on things, it's pretty obvious you are an intelligent person making something of your self (medschool I assume from your user name and the jargon you use?)
quote:You are missing the point. White people haven't exactly been lounging around while slaves waited on them hand and foot.
quote:No one gave my grandparents what they built. They worked for it and you bet you arse they are entitled to reap the rewards.
quote:If this is true, maybe the IQ discrepancy is correct. Only a true dumbass would sabotage their own future.

A Spanish official says a 10-year-old girl living in the south of the country has given birth.
Micaela Navarro, the Andalusia region's social affairs minister, says authorities are evaluating whether to let the mother and her family retain custody of the baby, born last week in the city of Jerez de la Frontera.
Navarro told reporters that the father of the baby is also a minor. Her department declined to give further details, such as the sex or health of the baby.
Spanish newspapers said the mother is of Romanian origin. The daily Diario de Jerez quoted medical staffers who treated the girl as saying they were told by her mother that giving birth at such a young age is common in their country.
t's gone from bad to worse along the U.S.-Mexico border.
An American college student majoring in business was shot to death in Ciudad Juarez, becoming the fifth U.S. citizen to be killed in the violent border city in less than a week.
Eder Diaz, a student at the University of Texas at El Paso, was gunned down on Tuesday evening after armed men opened fire on a car that Diaz was in, an investigator told The Associated Press.
His classmate, Manuel Acosta, was also killed inside the vehicle. The U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez is still trying to determine if Acosta, 25, was an American citizen.

United States border police involved in one of the largest drug busts in U.S. history discovered a 600-yard drug smuggling tunnel that was part of a sophisticated operation used to transport tons of marijuana between Mexico and southern California, authorities said Wednesday.
The tunnel was equipped with a rail system, lighting and air vents, stretching the length of six football fields underground between warehouses in Tijuana and the Otay Mesa area of San Diego, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
Agents discovered the passage this week during a massive seizure of about 30 tons of pot, which cops said had a street value of more than $20 million.

This lab test measures the levels of the different types of the oxygen-carrying protein (hemoglobin ) in the blood.
Hb electrophoresis; Hgb electrophoresis; Electrophoresis - hemoglobin
A blood sample is needed.
At the lab, the technician places the blood sample on special paper and applies an electric current. The hemoglobins move on the paper and form bands that show the amount of each type of hemoglobin.
No special preparation is necessary for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
You may have this test if your health care provider suspects that you have a disorder caused by abnormal forms of hemoglobin (hemoglobinopathy ).
Many different types of hemoglobin (Hb) exist. The most common ones are HbA, HbA2, HbF, HbS, HbC, Hb H, and Hb M. Healthy adults only have significant levels of HbA and HbA2.
Some people may also have small amounts of HbF. This is the main type of hemoglobin in an unborn baby's body. Certain diseases are associated with high HbF levels (when HbF is more than 2% of the total hemoglobin).
HbS is an abnormal form of hemoglobin associated with sickle cell anemia . In people with this condition, the red blood cells sometimes have a crescent or sickle shape. The cells easily break down or can block small blood vessels.
HbC is an abnormal form of hemoglobin associated with hemolytic anemia . The symptoms are much milder than they are in sickle cell anemia.
Other, less common, abnormal Hb molecules cause anemias .
In adults, these hemoglobin molecules make up the following percentages of total hemoglobin:
In infants and children, these hemoglobin molecules make up the following percentages of total hemoglobin:
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The presence of significant levels of abnormal hemoglobins may indicate:
You may have false normal or abnormal results if you have had a blood transfusion within 12 weeks of the this test.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Glad to observe that government officials in Germany are seeing wind energy as quite a fishy project. I may well understand their motives, their lack of enthusiasm and their move to spend less on wind energy development.
Sure thing, that's quite dubious project when you depend energetically on whims of weather! Take Bavaria for instance. This region could have never boasted strong winds! So we were just in a shock when the authorities allocated quite a sum to develop wind power facilities in here! That was just stupid and amounting to crime... you see.... that crazy idea of some "smarties" obsessed with their ambitions! I'd call that waste of money in midst of economic crisis!
They'd rather have delved into the USA experience where they now tend to curtail their wind projects so dependent on weather! Sadly enough, here in Germany there are some irresponsible people ready to bring Germany back into some cavemen's age!
