MIAMI — It's not the type of streak that LeBron James ever thought about, this run of putting together at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting in six straight games.
Still, it's something he'll savor. He's rolling right now, and so are the Miami Heat.
James scored 30 points on 11 for 15 shooting to get into the NBA record books, Chris Bosh scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Heat wound up beating the Portland Trail Blazers 117-104 in a wild, momentum-swinging game on Tuesday night.
It was the 1,000th regular-season win in Heat history. But on this night, the only history anyone will remember was what James accomplished. According to the Heat, only Adrian Dantley and Moses Malone had done the 30-point, 60-percent streak in five straight outings before James joined their club. Now he stands alone.
"I'm at a loss for words," James said in a televised postgame interview. "Like I say over and over, I know the history of the game. I know how many unbelievable players who came through the ranks, who paved the way for me and my teammates. And for me to be in the record books by myself with such a stat — any stat — it's big-time."
Dwyane Wade added 24 points for Miami, which wasted a pair of 14-point leads — then put the game away with a 14-0 run in the final minutes. Ray Allen added 14 for Miami.
Damian Lillard had a game-high 33 points for Portland, which got 29 from LaMarcus Aldridge and 20 from Wesley Matthews.
Just like the Heat, the Blazers also saw a 14-point lead slip away in the game, and then simply got shut down late by a stretch of airtight Miami defense.
"That was typical Miami Heat stuff," Lillard said. "Transition, finishing strong around the rim, and LeBron picking defenses apart."
On a night where the teams took turns putting together big runs, it was the Heat who had the last rally.
With the game tied at 99-all, James drove baseline on former Cleveland teammate Sasha Pavlovic for a two-handed slam that he punctuated with a long scream. The Blazers immediately responded. Matthews made a 3-pointer on the next Portland possession to give the Trail Blazers their last lead. Miami scored the next 14 points, including when James got loose for a dunk with 2:38 remaining.
"He played a very good basketball game," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra deadpanned afterward. "That's all you're going to get out of me right now. He competes. He loves to compete. He loves close games. ... And he's leading us, not just with his talent."
Bosh made a jumper with 1:55 left to end the run and seal the win, Miami's sixth straight overall.
A glance at the halftime boxscore — Portland 59, Miami 58 — would have suggested the opening two quarters were closely contested, back-and-forth basketball.
Not exactly. There were deep and dramatic shifts in momentum, with James and Aldridge simply taking over play for long stretches in the early going.
Miami started with a flurry, hitting its first seven shots and doing so with James collecting five assists in the game's first 3:52. The Heat led 14-5 after that burst, and were still shooting 75 percent with a minute to go in the opening quarter.
They also were trailing at that point. The Blazers were doing anything they wanted on the offensive end.
"I thought it was a good effort by our team," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said. "Miami's one of the best if not the best team in the league right now and they are playing at a high level. We matched it for about 44 minutes."
More than matched it for a while, too.
Aldridge went on a personal 13-0 run over a stretch of nearly four minutes midway through the half, single-handedly seeming to turn what was a 29-24 Portland deficit into a 37-29 Portland lead. And another quick burst, this time a 10-1 run by the Blazers, gave the visitors what was their biggest lead, 57-43 with 4:48 left in the half. But James scored 10 points in a 15-2 Miami run to end the half, and the Blazers' lead was down to a single point at intermission.

NEW YORK (AP) — The rhetoric is rising, while the time before the planned start of the NHL regular season is running out.
And now it seems more likely than not that regular-season games will be canceled before the league and the players' association even get back to the negotiating table.
The sides broke off talks Tuesday after just two hours, and it was hard to find optimism anywhere that the season would avoid a major disruption — just seven years after a full season was lost to a lockout.
"Not prepared to speculate on next steps at this point," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email on Wednesday. "Obviously, we've been saying for over a month now that we would welcome a new proposal from the Players' Association. That continues to be our position.
"(It's) not a constructive position to say, 'Here's our first offer. We think it's really good. Call us back when you are ready to accept it.' That's what the union has effectively done here."
Daly also said on Wednesday that the NHL has no timetable when it will start calling off regular-season games.
The season is slated to open on Oct. 11. But with training camps on hold and all preseason games already canceled, it is hard to imagine the NHL can stick to that schedule if a deal with the players' association isn't reached in the next day or two.
With no new negotiations scheduled, that seems to be nearly impossible.
"Unfortunately, the NHL's negotiation strategy was to lock out the players as a strategy of first resort," NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr told the AP on Wednesday in an email. "After massive player concessions during the last round of CBA negotiations, followed by seven years of record NHL revenues, the league is once again seeking enormous reductions in players' salaries, along with significant changes which would limit individual player rights.
"The players have made multiple proposals that are favorable to the owners. The owners have not made a single proposal which would give the players anything meaningful. In fact, for much of September the owners did not even want to meet unless it was on their terms." Continued...
When the sides got together on Tuesday, for the fourth time in five days, they again focused their talks on secondary issues and not the core economics that have the NHL and the union at odds.
With little to actually discuss, the meeting broke up relatively quickly and left both groups frustrated.
Daly said the league has already lost $100 million in revenues from lost preseason games. The sides are fighting about how to divide up over $3 billion in hockey-related revenues. Players received 57 percent of that pot in the previous collective bargaining agreement, and the NHL wants that number to drop under 50 percent in the new deal.
Players have offered to take a smaller cut as long as there is more revenue sharing between the richer and poorer franchises.
When Daly left the latest negotiating session, he said it "was not overly encouraging."
"We are closer by definition (to canceling regular season games)," he added. "We are focused on minimizing the damage."
Players' Association Executive Director Donald Fehr contends that the union has made proposals that move closer to the NHL's position, and that the league has moved further away from the players.
Steve Fehr disputed Daly's assessment that progress wasn't made on Tuesday.
"Talks can resume anytime they're ready," he said.

Block Toppling
Posted 05 May 2012 - 09:59 AM
Posted 05 May 2012 - 10:04 AM
At its simplest, I suppose you could find the area of the base of the structure by finding the distance from the furthest left point to the furthest right point. Then, find the center of mass of the rest of the structure by adding all the x and y coordinates, multiplying by a mass value, and then dividing by the number of coords to find an average. If the centre of mass lies to the left or the right of the area of support, then the tower would topple.
EDIT: Extend this to check at every level. As in, find the 'base area' for the lowest level of the tower, and calculate whether every block above would balance. Then check the second lowest level, find the base area here, and calculate whether every block above THAT level would balance. Then the third lowest level, and so on to the top.

First-century Christians were not just Jews... there were Gentiles as well. To answer your question, I don't believe the Revelation becomes inaccessible or irrelevant to Christians of all times. After all, the letter to the Romans was just that: written to first-century Christians in Rome. That doesn't make the teachings of the book irrelevant to us living in the 21st-century outside of Rome. It may not have been addressed to us, and it may not have been written about us, but it can still apply to us in a manner of instruction and learning and glorifying God. In the same way, just because partial preterists believe that most of the Revelation was fulfilled in the first-century does not mean those portions of the book that were fulfilled are irrelevant to us in the 21st-century.
I do. I believe Paul was referring to the soon-coming "binding" of Satan.I agree with you the en tachos literally means quickly, + shortly, + speedily. But then you conclude that John was telling his original readers that the fulfillment of the books was going to come upon them within a brief amount of time. But the same word en tachos is found in Ro 16:20, Paul telling the saints that God will bruise Satan under their feet en tachos. I dont think you would conclude that this was fulfilled within the life times of those first century saints?
I do. God avenging his first-century elect took place in 67-70 AD.Or in Lu 18:8 when God speaks of avenging His elect en tachos.
If you don't mind, I would like to know the reason you were asking such questions? Again, if you had read the OP at all you would have already had the answers to all of the questions you asked. So why did you feel the need to ask questions to which the answers were provided in the very first post of the thread?
I don't understand what you're saying here.
I'm asking for the third time now: Why did you ask all of those questions if the answers were already given to you in the OP? Did you not read the OP? Did you read it but were confused? Did you read it but were trying to trap someone in a contradiction?
**Mod-Staff Note**
Hey guys, just wanted to take a minute, and clear up some apparent misunderstanding that seems to be bubbling up from a few posters who've joined this thread towards the end here.
This thread's intent is not to say that All of Revelation is Past.
Some of you guys seem to be making this mis-assumption, and then trying to argue against it. (that's a strawman, whether intended or not)
The OP's intent was not to present the idea that ALL of Revelation is past; rather the OP's intent was to spend some time looking at Revelation from the Partial-Preterist(allowed), NOT FULL-PRETERIST(not-allowed) position.
Just wanted to remind everyone of that. If you're interested in the OP's study, then by all means, participate and enjoy. But if you just flat-out disagree or are one of the ones misunderstanding the OP, then please step back and watch; but don't derail.
If you wanna start your own thread about a differing approach and interpretation of Revelation, then by all means do so....but let's keep this one focused on the OP's intent....which is from the perspective of the Partial-Preterism interpretation.
Please don't make the staff have to delete further derails, respect the OP just as you would want them to do if you were the OP of a different topic they might disagree with.
Thanks one and all.
The things that Jesus said would happen before his return are the things which are said to have already happend such as the beast and the tribulation. We are not told that there we would have to wait long after the tribulation for his return.
Mt 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mt 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mt 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
What happened in the past regarding the beast of that time and what believers went through did not lead to the return of Jesus.
I hope that helps to explain what I am saying.
God bless you!
I agree, it did not return to the Second Coming of Christ. But as I explained in the OP, under the summary of chapter one, the partial preterism position is that the "coming of the Son of Man" (including the one in Matthew 24.30) is not referring to the Second Coming, it is referring to the "judgment coming" of 70 AD.
What about Rev. 16:15? I suppose that also doesn't refer to the second coming in the PP view?
Correct. The majority of the prophecies in the book are about the events leading up to 70 AD, and the beginning of the "thousand years", which have progressed from then until now. Chapter 20 ends with the Second Coming and final judgment.
But wouldn't you agree, that Rev. 16:15 is directed at the church?
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. (Rev 3:18)
It is directed at the wicked.
Behold, I am coming like a thief!
Every time the "coming like a thief" analogy is used in the New Testament, it is used in the context of punishment, not preservation. In Matthew 24.43, it is compared to the coming of the flood in the days of Noah. In Luke 12.39 it is used to mean distress upon those who "fall asleep" before the thief comes. In 1 Thessalonians 5.2 it refers to "the Day of the LORD", in which "sudden destruction" comes. It is again used in 2 Peter 3.10 in referring to the time of judgment, when the "elements" are dissolved. (Note: The Greek word translated as "elements" is only ever used in the New Testament to refer to the Old Covenant. Peter is not talking about the dissolving of physical elements, he is talking about the dissolving of the Old Covenant. See Hebrews 8.13.) It is used in Revelation 3.3, in which Christ threatens the church of Sardis to "wake up", or else he will "come like a thief". The "coming like a thief" analogy is never used to refer to the preservation of the Church, but instead it refers to the destruction of the wicked.
Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!
Yes, this is the warning Christ gives to the church of Laodicea. Meaning... if they don't "wake up", they will be caught up in the "sudden destruction" of Christ's "coming like a thief". Revelation 16.15 is Christ's last minute admonition to the Church, just before the "judgment coming" of 70 AD. "I am coming like a thief! Wake up!" he implores the Church, "If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you."
Greetings Mark,
When was the Old Covenant dissolved? Would you not agree that even though those first century Jews did not understand fully while the Temple remained standing, and in fact continued to make sacrificial offerings in the Temple, the Old Covenant ended when Christ went to the cross?
Heb*9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Heb*9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Heb*9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb*9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb*9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb*9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
You see Christ coming in judgment in AD 70 as the end of the Old Covenant. In this you miss the fact that Christ took away the Old to establish the New at His cross and resurrection.
It is to those who look for His coming again that He will not come as a theif. They alone will be redeemed, but for those who fail to keep watch, Christ will come suddenly at a time they are not expecting, and will therefore sudden destruction will come upon them.
Many Blessings,

For over 60 years, Meet the Press has featured headline-making interviews with world-leaders and newsmakers. Moderator David Gregory continues that tradition, and takes the conversation online as well in his blog, Twitter, video and more.
Rumsfeld's Rules
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld joins David Gregory to discuss his new book, "Rumsfeld's Rules," as well as the biggest issues facing the country's military and foreign policy today.
Gregory: Congress needs to 'overcome obstacles,' start making achievements
Meet the Press moderator David Gregory says "fighting against misinformation" on entitlement reforms and gun legislations on both sides of the aisles often prevents issues from getting fixed. Bloomberg View's Margaret Carlson talks about "sensible solutions" and "means testing" as a response to the war over entitlement cuts.
A Second Take on Meeting the Press: From an up-close look at Rachel Maddow's sneakers to an in-depth look at Jon Krakauer's latest book — it's all fair game in our "Meet the Press: Take Two" web extra.

Thomas Berry: The Great Story
Thomas Berry, who passed away recently at the age of 94, considered himself a "geologian," a term he used to define a scholar of the earth and its evolutionary processes. His faith and teachings combined spirituality and ecology. Thomas Berry was, according to the film's director, "a monk, a cultural historian, an author, a teacher and a mystic."
Berry's elegant description of "the sacred story, the story of creation" is intercut throughout the film with stunning footage of mountains, rivers, birds and fish. "I am not myself without everything else," he says, as he radically, and quietly, describes the earth as "the center of everything – of our consciousness, our physical being, our world." James Parks Morton comments in the film: "As a theological person, that really turned my whole thinking upside down."
Father Berry worships the universe as "a cosmic liturgy" and calls humanity "mad" for defiling and despoiling the planet and its living systems. He gently reminds viewers that "we are not a collection of objects but a communion of subjects … A viable future for the human community rests largely upon a new relationship between human communities and the planet we dwell on."

ExxonMobil plans to expand the size of its campus under construction in Houston to accommodate additional employees from the area and from company locations in Fairfax, Va. and Akron, Ohio. All 2,100 employees at the company's refining headquarters in Fairfax are being transferred to Houston.
ExxonMobil said Wednesday that it will expand the size of its campus under construction in Houston to accommodate additional employees from the immediate area and from company locations in Fairfax, Va. and Akron, Ohio.
The affected units include ExxonMobil Refining and Supply in Fairfax, which had played host to the segment for some time. Mobil was based in Fairfax prior to its 1999 merger with Exxon.Other companies involved are ExxonMobil Research and Engineering; ExxonMobil Fuels, Lubricants & Specialties Marketing; the Akron-based employees of ExxonMobil Chemical; and select positions from ExxonMobil Research and Engineering and ExxonMobil Chemical now located at the Baytown refinery complex outside of Houston.
Including additional employees on the new campus will provide even more opportunities for collaboration and innovation, supporting ExxonMobils mission of delivering energy to meet growing global needs, said Bryan Milton, president of ExxonMobil Global Services.
The new campus will have multiple low-rise office buildings, laboratory, conference and training centers and facilities such as child care, a wellness center and other employee amenities, the company said.
The campus is located on a 385-acre wooded site on company-owned land near the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road.
It will accommodate approximately 10,000 employees and is being constructed to high standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship, according to the company.
Construction of the campus began in 2011. Early site work includes the construction of access roads and bridges, central utilities, computer support and parking facilities.
Employees will move to the campus in phases as the buildings are constructed, beginning in early 2014.
Full occupancy for employees is expected by 2015.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Message From The Chief
Once again we were reminded of the pervasive use of violence in America when there was yet another school shooting. Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut lost 20 children and 6 members of its teaching staff to a madman with a gun. This was the latest in a long list of school shootings; to name just a few:
Jonesboro, Arkansas: 3/24/98 – 4 students and one teacher (2 injured)
What has caused this caustic cycle of violence that has poisoned some of our children (the perpetrators) and exposed the rest of our children (the victims or potential victims) to violence? Can we break this cycle of violence that seems to permeate every facet of our society? There are many who believe (I am one of them) that the pervasive use of violence in television, movies, music and video games is actually TEACHING our children to kill. There seems to be merit to this belief. In a book entitled "On Killing", written by Lt. Col. David Grossman, he advanced the notion that these media outlets have desensitized our children to the true value of life and the true horror of killing; in a sense we are teaching that it is okay to kill.
In this book, and others written by Lt. Col. Grossman, he makes reference to a movement afoot that is attempting to wake-up America and convince us to reject this culture of violence. A good website on this concept of turning off the screen (regardless of its type; TV, computer or video game) is www.familyfitness.about.com and it is dedicated to reclaiming the American Family by reducing our exposure to mass media and the ideas it sells. Here are some sobering facts:
National TV Turn-Off Week - April 29 – May 3, 2013 Do you see the connection? We are focused on media rather than family. We are focused on virtual reality rather than on the reality of everyday life. National TV Turn-Off Week is set for April 29 – May 3, 2013. The Wilton Manors Police Department urges you to reclaim your family by disconnecting the TV and reconnecting with your children. Visit the website given above for more information. Make it a family affair. Better yet, get all your friends hooked on this concept. In a small and positive way, maybe we can make a difference.

With a long-awaited $158.6 million dairy class action settlement finally agreed upon, and a bankruptcy judge in California certifying a class of former employees seeking to pursue claims against Howrey, a trustee for the defunct Am Law 100 firm's estate is now seeking information on an assignment that Howrey sought to pursue after its 2011 dissolution.
Last week Howrey bankruptcy trustee Allan Diamond of Diamond McCarthy filed papers with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Dennis Montali in San Francisco seeking information from James Monroe and Robert Best Jr., both of whom were key local political players that signed a legal services contract with Howrey worth up to $15.5 million if the firm was successful in creating a municipal power grid in upstate New York.
The Am Law Daily reported in May 2011 on Howrey's effort to continue its work representing the Alliance for Municipal Power (AMP), an organization that pushed for the creation of the North Country Power Authority (NCPA), a public utility system for 24 municipalities in Franklin and St. Lawrence counties adjoining New York's northern border with Canada.
Howrey, which had formally dissolved in March 2011, found two of its most senior lawyers caught in the middle of a power play between competing interests seeking to either scrap the contract with the firm or keep it intact while moving forward with the formation of the NCPA, according to our previous reports. Howrey, which had just began bankruptcy proceedings at the time, claimed that it could proceed with the work necessary to bring about the NCPA, citing in part the increased legal costs the municipalities might face if they sought to retain another firm.
But last year The Am Law Daily reported that the lights finally went out on the NCPA, seemingly ending efforts by the Howrey estate to score a payday for its work on the scuttled power plant project. A potential fee claim might now be revived based on the ex parte application filed by Diamond last week seeking documents from Best and Monroe related to Howrey's work on behalf of AMP and the NCPA.
"The Trustee believes that Howrey may have a substantial claim for fees from either one or both of these entities, their constituents, or their successors for the extensive legal work [the firm] performed relating to the creation of a municipal power authority in northern New York," writes Diamond in the filing.
Diamond, who served as litigation counsel to Diamond McCarthy partner Sheila Gowan in her role as trustee in the bankruptcy of now defunct Dreier LLP, was chosen as trustee for the Howrey case in October 2011. Diamond, whose firm has offices in Denver, New York, and Texas, noted at the time of his appointment that the Howrey bankruptcy would get litigious.
Diamond was out of the office Wednesday and unavailable for immediate comment about how much he might seek for Howrey's work for AMP and the NCPA, which began in 2007.
However, in an interview with The Am Law Daily last week about the Howrey estate's get-tough effort to recover tens of millions of dollars from former partners, Diamond reiterated his plans to monetize the former firm's contingency fee cases to the extent that he still can. (An interim report filed this month by Diamond lists Howrey's contingency fee cases and other potential recoveries for creditors.)
The filing made last week by Diamond seeking information from Monroe and Best, which has already been approved by the bankruptcy court, notes that Howrey would be paid a contingency fee as part of the costs included in the bond that would have eventually been issued to fund the construction of the power plants. Diamond claims that Howrey could also "demand reimbursement from AMP for fees and expenses actually incurred by Howrey in the event" that the NCPA did not move forward. The filing further states that by January 2011, Howrey's fees and expenses invested in the matter totaled $3.2 million.

The headline would have been cleverer, and the joke less strained, reading "No. Country" rather than "North Country."

Members meet with advisors to Minister of State (S+T) Gary Goodyear
On January 26 members of the CASC Board of Directors held a very successful set of advocacy meetings with senior officials and elected representatives in Ottawa. Many thanks to those who travelled and covered their own expenses to do so. Many thanks too, to those who have met with their Members of Parliament over the break. We have documented meetings in Edmonton, Sudbury, London, Halifax, and Fredericton regions.
And yet we still need to do more. Canada's science strategy Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada's Advantage was published nearly three years ago. And still there is no plan to "increase the number of people pursuing education and meaningful careers in S+T in Canada" as stated in the strategy. Science Centres and similar organisations are eager to help meet this goal. Nonetheless, it will take leadership like that shown by Australia (see "Australia Proposes", below) to keep Canada from falling further behind in the global race to inspire innovative thinkers and doers.
The Federal Initiative team has asked all of CASC's member institutions to press their representatives across Canada to show their support for the science centres and similar organisations in their region. To get involved or for more information, please contact the CASC

St. Maximilian Kolbe
1894 - 1941
Canonized By: Pope John Paul II
Maximilian was born in 1894 in Poland and became a Franciscan. He contracted tuberculosis and, though he recovered, he remained frail all his life. Before his ordination as a priest, Maximilian founded the Immaculata Movement devoted to Our Lady. After receiving a doctorate in theology, he spread the Movement through a magazine entitled "The Knight of the Immaculata" and helped form a community of 800 men, the largest in the world.
Maximilian went to Japan where he built a comparable monastery and then on to India where he furthered the Movement. In 1936 he returned home because of ill health. After the Nazi invasion in 1939, he was imprisoned and released for a time. But in 1941 he was arrested again and sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz.
On July 31, 1941, in reprisal for one prisoner's escape, ten men were chosen to die. Father Kolbe offered himself in place of a young husband and father. And he was the last to die, enduring two weeks of starvation, thirst, and neglect. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1982. His feast day is August 14th.

I have been trying to find my way back to the church. Although I attend mass with my husband, my faith was fading away. I was channel surfing tonight and there on a channel was a young man talking to his mother. It the story of Father Kolbe. As I was watching, tears fell from my eyes. Thank you St. Maximilian Kolbe. You helped me find my way back to God, through your good example and your love for Mary, the Mother of God.

St Maximilian Kolbe is i.a. a patron saint of drug addicts because he was killed by the Nazis in the German concentration camp of Auschwitz by an injection of carbolic acid when he failed to die after two weeks of being starved.

St. Maximillian Kolbe, please pray for me and my family, to lead a virtuous life pleasing to God.

St. Maximilian has the spirit I've needed to die for Christ through priesthood. I never knew him while I'm in the seminary but I am surely dead if I didn't give up priesthood. I started suffering from deadly lung disorders due to following Christ in the seminary but I should have chosen to die earlier if God will it to happen. I am now suffering from lung infection and bronchial asthma and I choose to live than die without God's grace of martyrdom and sanctity. I will not sacrifice my life just for requirements in the seminary or in any government institution. I will die like my Master Christ and only God knows where and how. Thanks to St. Max since I have an idea what to do in the seminary/monastery later. I hope I survive lung disorders later on inside my parents' house. May God bless us all. Forgive us all our sins and lead us to everlasting life. So be it!
Please pray for me! I am dying little by little... -

NEC Spectraview 301 problems
August 31, 2011, 06:00:42 PM »
I've just upgraded to this monitor, and it's just not going well at all, I can't figure out what's going wrong, but it's virtually unusable as is. I'm hoping someone else may have some experience of this screen which may highlight where the issue is for me.
My old monitor was a very nice Sony P234b IPS panel screen, served me well, but it's past its best and badly ghosting, so it had to be replaced. I splashed out on an NEC Spectraview 301, huge investment for a monitor, thinking it would be the pinnacle of displays and knock my old screen into next week. I can't even get it profiled properly.
I'm no stranger to calibrating and profiling my screen, been doing it for many many years, and I always got very good results from my old screen, using i1Match and either an EyeOne Display or EyeOne Pro (I have both).
When I turn on the new screen, it shows the logo, and then changes the calibration several times, quite visibly. It seems to be different every time I turn it on, and this is *after* calibration and profiling. Sometimes the colours are right, next time I use the computer, they're all wrong, there's no consistency. Colours are just wrong in some apps, badly wrong, very very garish. When you've been looking at apps for years on a calibrated monitor, you know when something suddenly changes and doesn't look right. For example, the cover art in iTunes, which normally looks fine, is gruesomely over saturated. Yet another time, it will just fine just as it should.
I've been using the latest Spectraview Profiler (4.1.28) and the EyeOne Pro spectro. I have uninstalled i1Match. I've been doing "hardware" calibration (what's the point of spending all this money for that function if you're not going to use it?). I'm connected via DisplayPort connector.
Has anyone had any similar issues? Is this just my expectations not being realistic? If I'm using the hardware based calibration (monitor LUTs) will the colours only be correct in colour-managed applications? I had expected the opposite.
Any info appreciated.

These are good displays. You should not be getting the results you are seeing under normal circumstances. Here are a few things to look at:
- Turn off "Auto Luminance" if you have it on (Preferences > Display)
- Turn ON "Confirm display calibration status" (Preferences > Interface) just to make sure there aren't settings getting changed from one time to the next.
It's particularly concerning that you say the display looks different each time you turn it on.
What do you get at the Color Tracking tab in SpectraView II?

Just in case the problem is related to Apple's DisplayPort technology, I suggest you connect the monitor using DVI to DVI and test it like that over several days with the different applications that have been producing different and seemingly wrong results. If the monitor is well-behaved with DVI, then your problem would seem to be isolated. If it isn't - well then the problem would not yet have been isolated. There's no harm using it with DVI at this time, because DisplayPort is only really needed to support 10-bit rendition, but because MAC OSX doesn't support 10-bit no matter what display or cable you use, you lose nothing trying the DVI route. There's no way I can say this is the problem, hence my suggestion to test it. I have had big trouble with mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort using my NEC PA271 with a MacPro, and am therefore connected with DVI.

PA301W is a (very)wide gamut display - so it needs a colormanaged application to display colors correctly. When you sometimes see oversaturated colors it's a sign that application's CMM stopped converting colors to the color space defined in the ICC profile selected in OSX System Preferences. It's not displays fault, it's only a software issue.

I think Czornyj is correct; that said, applications such as Photoshop and Lightroom clearly are colour-management aware, and if you are calibrating and profiling with Spectraview, that should also ensure a properly colour-managed set-up. This is why my mind drifts back to hardware issues. Hence, I would add to my previous reply: you didn't mention what computer and video card the PA301 is connected to. Are you certain that your video card and OS supports this display?

I'll answer as many queries as I can:
Pherold: I'm in the UK, so I am using Spectraview Profiler, (rebadged basiccolor), not Spectraview II, which I do not have access to.
Mark DS: I initially tried using DVI and the problem was the same, I switched to DisplayPort because the cable I had was longer and more convenient.
It's the shipped NEC cable, with the Monoprice converter. The computer is a Mac Pro 2008 (3,1) with a Radeon 4870. And yeah, I was disappointed about the 10bit thing too
Czornyj: Ordinarily I would agree with that, but it's a bit of a grey area to me with this particular monitor with the LUTs in the monitor.
If it was consistent, I would understand, but it isn't. Sometimes the colour looks right (in ANY app), sometimes it does not. Basically, things look OK in Lightroom or Photoshop, not so in Firefox, and yes I have enabled the colour management and set it to assume sRGB for untagged images in the browser options. Having been accustomed to using a profiled screen for many years, you know when something isn't right, it's not merely a question my perceiving the extra capability of the newer screen. Admittedly not a graphics app, but the most immediately obvious candidate is iTunes, the coverflow artwork is very badly oversaturated, but then the other day it was perfect again, just like on my old monitor, without my having changed anything.
I kind of had an expectation that because this high end monitor has the LUTs
the monitor, the colour would look right with ANY app because the conversion is taking place on the basic video output, as opposed to in the OS/app. Maybe that expectation was wrong.
What is a grey area to me is whether this "hardware" calibration requires a software profile in order to work, and which option I should choose from the software and what the
differences are between them. With the Spectraview Profiler software, the calibration/profiling options are :
Hardware and Software
No Calibration (profile only)
I've tried both option one and two, with no difference. Although I haven't tried it (yet) I have no doubt that if I were to profile this monitor with my old methods (i1Match, equivalent to option 3 I guess) it would be fine, but I balk at the idea of having spent all this money on a high end monitor with in-built hardware 14-bit 3D LUTs only to not use them...
I'm sure it's something I'm doing or not doing, or an incompatibility somewhere, I don't think the hardware is faulty, I just can't seem to get a handle on where the problem is.
Thanks for you replies.

As extra info, when I perform a validation, I usually get an average DeltaE of <1, usually 0.5-0.7, but I always get a spike somewhere in the range, worst DeltaE was 3.5!

Again, please check whether the Radeon 4870 supports your monitor.
I wouldn't count on colour management with Firefox. I'd test consistency of colour rendition with applications known to be reliably colour-management aware, such as Photoshop and Lightroom.

I don't really understand how I could, I've never seen a supported
list for
graphics card, I don't think card manufacturers issue them.
A Google search came up with several posts on this forum by your good self asking about compatibility of the 4870 with PA series monitors, and some links to DigiLloyd. I understand he's had some issues related to accellerated performance not meeting his expectations, I've experienced nothing along those lines.
The card can support the resolution of the monitor, it displays a picture on either DVI or DisplayPort, not sure what else I can say.
Did you meant whether the Apple drivers for this card might have incompatibilities with this monitor? In which case, it's possible, I couldn't say, and Apple
would. They're not exactly forthcoming with information, as I know you've experienced as well.

You're right - Apple is a pretty insular and secretive outfit to deal with. Perhaps the NEC website or a call to NEC tech support may clarify it. I wouldn't necessarily expect the card supplier to provide this information, but the display manufacturer should be able to say what cards or card specs are needed to drive their displays.

In a matter of sense, yes - you can calibrate your display to mimic a certain colorspace using 3DLUT. But in a real life we're working with various color spaces - sRGB, AdobeRGB, ECI, CMYKs, countless inkjet + various papers and so on, so we rather work with the native color space of the display and let application to manage colors of images, no matter what color space they're rendered to.

Another strange thing struck me, I have three devices, an EyeOne Display, and EyeOne Display2, and an EyeOne Pro spectro.
Spectraview Profiler would not, in any way, recognise either of the two colorimeters, only the spectro. It would
to recognise them
the spectro was plugged in, then fail during calibration because it was trying to use the spectro after all.
So, after several installs, uninstalls, re-installs of both i1Match and Spectraview Profiler, I managed to get a clean install of SVP, and it recognised the EyeOne Display2. I ran through a couple of calibration runs with this instead of the spectro, and got a more satisfactory result. Validation passed with no spikes this time, average DeltaE94 of 0.24 with a max of 0.4, much better.
Colours seems good, display seems overly bright compared with the brightness setting I specified though.
Colours are still whacked in some apps, but I suppose I'll have to live with that.
May contact NEC support and see what they say.

To get more consistent results with i1pro it's recommended to warm it up before calibration for at least 15 minutes. PA301W is a hot beast and will change the temperature of the sensor during calibration, that may cause worse validation results.
You may limit the gamut of the display to sRGB using NEC Multiprofiler software, or new Spectraview Profiler 5 (basiICColor display) that is supposed to be available soon - this will give you consistent colors in non-color aware applications, but will limit the potential of the display instead.

I am sorry to hear that you are having troubles with the PA301W.
I own the SpectraView 301 Reference and several other monitors (including the SpectraView 271). I found that with this kind of monitors (capable of a very low black point) the i1Pro spectro doesnt perform well. You always get unreliable results in the darker colors. If you let the instrument warm up (for what I saw) you get better results in overall but you get even worst results in the dark patches, probably because that the noise of the instrument generates increases with temperature. I am not a technician and I am not sure about the reasons of the behavior of the i1Pro, I only know that it has problems with many monitors.
There are different solutions. You can get a better device (basICColor Discus, in my opinion worth all the money, especially if you have many monitors). You can also increase the Black luminance value to 0,5 or 1 cd/mq. In this way you will get better results.
Here some other information you may find useful that I posted in another thread:
Quote from: VitOne on August 08, 2011, 01:58:46 PM
I am using a SpectraView Reference 271 and a SpectraView Reference 301 monitor. This are PA monitor from NEC that come with a certification from basICColor about their performance and with the possibility to hardware-calibrate the monitor using the Profiler software from basICColor.
I am also using a Discus device and I also own the NEC version of the EyeOne Display 2. I think that the SVR301 and the SV271 perform in a very similar way. Talking about quality and not size the main difference is that the SVR301 has a slightly wider gamut (impossible to notice without the numbers) and the SV271 a better black point (noticeable if you are working in a very dark environment).
Here you can see the validation of both monitors:
And here is a graphic and numerical comparison made in ColorThink Pro:
Reading both certification that I have from basICColor of the 2 display I would say that they are consistent in the same way. In my case the 271 is a little bit worse than the 301.
I give you my 2 cents also about other points.
1) I noticed a big improvement in the quality of the profile and on the quality on the calibration using the Discus device. I own and use a Spectrolino, an i1Pro rev D, a ColorMunki, an i1Display 2 with NEC matrix and other stuff, but I never got the same results that I am getting with the Discus. I dont understand French, but if you go to 1:25
you will see the same difference that I saw in the gradients. And this is not the only difference that you will see if you use a Discus. I dont know anything about the new hardware from X-Rite and I will test it soon. At the moment I can only recommend the Discus.
2) There are many discussion about the European SpectraView monitor that I am using. Somebody say that they are useless at all; somebody will say that they will love them because of the software and now because of the Discus (at the moment you can use it only with basICColor software). I had many discussion with the SpectraView/basICColor tech support and I could never get an answer about the quality of the display that they use comparing it to the medium quality of the same display. Ill try to be a little bit more clear: basICColor in Europe takes monitor from Nec and hand-pinks the best monitors (monitors that pass their tests, including uniformity tests) and then modifies them to allow the user to use basICColor software to hardware-calibrate the screen. Now the problem is that nobody really know what best means. Maybe all monitor will pass the certification (because they are all good). Maybe not. Now what I discovered speaking with them (but I really dont know how much this can be true) is that the 241 and 271 monitor have usually no problems to pass the test. The 301 can have problems, and they pick not a lot of units. So what I think (I repeat: this is just what I think, and maybe is not true) is that some 301 monitor could not behave in the same way mine behaves and this is maybe why you can read on some reviews online that the 301 is not as good as the 271.
3) For this monitors (271 and 301) in my opinion the best device is the Discus. Then comes the NEC i1Display2, then the i1Pro RevD, then the ColorMunky Photo. The spectros in my opinion give bad results in dark areas. If you are using this monitors (capable of a deep black) with a consumer-grade spectrophotometer you will probably get unwanted colour casts in the darkest area of your images.

Ok, I think I've isolated the issue.
The problem is when the monitor comes out of sleep mode, or is turned on, the colours are wrong.
If I start the application when the monitor is on, the colours are fine, if the monitor goes off, when it comes back on, the colours are out.
The application I'm referring to in this case is Firefox. I know it's not a massively colour-managed app like Lightroom or Photoshop, but it
colour managed, I have even set the extra options and even given it the display profile location. This should not be happening, not from just turning off and on the monitor.
This is not normal behaviour surely? The fact that it's inconsistent like this is severely damaging my confidence in this monitor, I'm wondering if the Lightroom/Photoshop output is consistent too.

RNLI Fun Day at Mudeford Quay is a charity event with all proceeds going to the Mudeford RNLI Lifeboat Station.
To assist the RNLI in their fundraising activities, each year the Blackhouse donate a weeks stay at the Black House to be auctioned on the day.
Auctions are always a great success and have contributed significantly towards the total money raised for the Mudeford RNLI each year.
'SANDMAN' by Ian Kingsley is set in and around Christchurch Harbour and the public buildings mentioned in the novel such as the Hiker café and the Beach House café do exist.
Ian Kingsley says there were several good reasons for using the setting; "Firstly, I like to write 'atmospheric' fiction because this has more presence: hopefully I can make it seem more real because, as a writer, I can better visualise it. Secondly, there is a very special atmosphere on Mudeford Sandbank and I wanted readers to appreciate and enjoy that. (As Stevie imagines it in the novel, it is rather like an island — although not exactly 'deserted'.) Thirdly, this novel is about a stalker, and the environment of a stalker is important; I needed to bring his surroundings to life, so what better way than to use a real-life setting? Lastly, I wanted to show how tranquility might only be a heart-beat away from tension or fear — and despite its many visitors at busy times, this area always has a tranquil air."

CD (Item 603032) Nat Geo, 2012 — Condition: New Copy
The most focused and stylistically linear set yet from Balkan Beat Box –who really focus and their box of beats without sacrificing the globally inspired eclecticism – with loads of propulsive beatcraft and synthy funk in the mix! This is a move that makes a whole lot of sense for BBB – wheras the global dance music community has been embracing digital danceable soundspaces – and it's move works well. There's still plenty of live instrumentation – guitars, horns, winds and percussion – blending with some political lyricism. Includes "Part Of The Glory", "Political F*ck", "Money", "Suki Muki", "Porno Clown", "Minimal", "Urge To Be Violent", "What A Night", "Enemy In Economy", "No Man's Land" and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
