Preliminary background: the filioque (Latin for "And the Son") is the theological notion that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, Jesus. This clause is included in the Nicene Creed - seen as a legitimate development - in the Western Catholic Church, but not in the Eastern Orthodox Church, which regards it as a late corruption and heresy. It was not really a matter of controversy until the time of Photius in the second half of the 9th century, but since then it has been of central importance in the East-West schism which finalized in the 11th century. Western, Latin theologians and Fathers (and many Eastern as well) found biblical support for the filioque in such passages as John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7,13-15; Rom 8:9; Gal 4:6; and Phil 1:19.
The following exchange is between the author and two Orthodox Christians (words in green). Citations from Church fathers and later Orthodox writers will be in blue:
It is clear that Rome resisted the heretical addition to the Symbol of Faith. (Pope Leo III (795-816) forbade any interpolations or alterations in the Symbol of Faith. He ordered the Symbol of Faith, without filioque, to be engraved in Latin and Greek on two silver plates on the wall of St. Peter's in Rome. Pope John VIII (872-882) affirmed the teaching of the Council of Constantinople (A.D. 879-880) which reaffirmed the creed of A.D. 381 and condemned ANY and ALL changes to the Symbol.) Therefore, it should not be surprising that communion was maintained between the East and Rome. It should be noted that the East, upon becoming aware of the existence of the heresy, made explicit their objection -- notably St Photius.
A couple of thoughts:
(1) It is quite right that Leo affirmed the Constantinopolitan Creed. It is the Creed of the Church. It is wholly right, good, and true. Most Eastern Catholics sing the Creed that way. The present pope has sung it that way, too. But, I would submit, the Creed with the Filioque is also wholly right, good, and true.
(2) The idea of the inviolability of the Creed is both true and false. It is true that no new faith may be introduced. It is false that there may be no actually expansion of the Creed that clarifies and solidifies the faith.
Here are a few thoughts of mine, that are somewhat on point, from an old essay:
Just as at the First Council of Nicea (325), the Creed ("of the 318 Fathers," i.e., of the 318 bishops at Nicea) agreed upon simply states: Kai eis to Hagion Pneuma. It says nothing about the procession of the Spirit, or His adoration or glorification, etc. This was "remedied" at the First Council of Constantinople (381). But the Constantinopolitan Creed (the "Creed of the 150 Fathers") was not immediately agreed upon by the whole Church, and both Creeds existed side-by-side. The agreement happened only at Chalcedon (451). Even then, the Fathers of that great Council proposed yet another credal formulation that concentrates on Christological definitions. But wait, we're not done yet. The Third Council of Constantinople (680) "enlarged the Creed of Chalcedon, notwithstanding the solemn prohibition of the Council of Chalcedon, by adding a horos, or dogmatic definition to the effect that Jesus Christ had two distinct and inseparable wills," etc.--Philip Schaff, The Creeds of Christendom (1931), vol. 2, p. 72. The Creed has been neither as static nor as exhaustive as you might believe. The Filioque is yet another addition to our credal understanding.
And this from another essay of mine:
The history of the Creed makes clear that it was never as sacrosanct as the Orthodox would make it out to be. There are even differences between the Greek and Latin textus recepti about which the Orthodox don't complain (the Latin has the additional Deum de Deo ("God from God") clause, e.g., which DOES appear in the Creed of Nicea but NOT in the Creed of Constantinople).
There is no evidence that the filioque was embraced in the West before the Council of Toledo (A.D. 587). This is hardly 'very early'.
When we consider (i) the Christological affirmations of Constantinople III (680/81) 100 years later, and (ii) the lagging history of pneumatology, i.e., the theology of the Holy Spirit seems always to have come after other issues, I think the late 6/c is fairly early.
Besides there are plenty of earlier testimonies among the Western and Eastern (!) Fathers!
If it were true that the Romans do not believe the Son to be equally the 'cause' of the Holy Spirit with the Father, (1) They would have rendered the English translation of the Symbol properly, rather than maintaining all three errors in the Latin version, including the filioque.
(1) Yes, the "Romans" were particularly concerned with the "English translation of the Symbol" in the 6/c!
(2) The problem is one of translation. The Latin processio is used in two senses, originating (which the Spirit does from the Father alone) and proceeding (more specifically) (which the Spirit does from the Father and the Son, or through the Son).
(3) This hardening and misunderstanding of patristic pneumatology comes, unfortunately, from St. Photius:
[F]rom 867 onwards Photius condemned the Filioque in a series of texts and formulated the doctrine of the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father alone: ek monou tou Patros. He did not understand the homogeneity of the Latin idea of the mystery of the Trinity, according to which the distinction between the Person in their perfect consubstantiality is derived from their relationship and the opposition of their relationship--the Father and the Son are relative to one another--and that relaitonship is one of origin and procession. Photius, however, believed that the Persons were distinguished by personal properties that could not be communicated. . . .Filium and even Filioque, Photius enshrined pneumatology in a form of expression which put out of the question an agreement with the West or even with those Latin Fathers whom the Orthodox Christians accept as their own. . . . We must . . . take Photius' arguments seriously--the more so because the Greek Church has taken over his theology--without at the same time losing sight of those Fathers whose work Photius himself tended to leave aside.
Photius regarded the monarchy of the Father as the principle both of the Spirit and of the monogenous one, and as the principle of their consubstantiality. Whereas the Greek Fathers saw this monarchy as moving dramatically in a straight line, from the Father through the Son in the Spirit, however, Photius adopted a scheme consisting of two branches:
Son Father <>per
(Yves Congar, I Believe in the Holy Spirit [Eng. trans. 1983], vol. 3, pp. 58-59)
And Photius certainly taught the bifurcated system Card. Congar sketched. See Photius, Contra Man. III, 17 (PG 102, 168B), and Amph., q. 188 (PG 101, 909B). In fact, apparently the diagram I reproduced is attributed to St. Photius!
(2) They would not teach that the Holy Spirit is the result of the love between the Father and the Son. Of course, the idea of the Holy Spirit being the love between the Father and the Son leads directly to the filioque. Doran taught that the human family was an 'icon' (his term, correctly defined as 'image') of the Holy Trinity in that the love between husband and wife produces a child as the love between the Father and Son gives procession to the Holy Spirit. Such teaching clearly subordinates the Holy Spirit to the other Persons. Such teaching clearly makes the Father and the Son two separate and equal sources. Such teaching is clearly unknown in the Church.
The notion that the Spirit is in some way the relationship, the love, of the Father and the Son is especially Western. But it is not foreign to the East:
The Holy Spirit is "the bond of the Trinity." - St. Epiphanius of Salamis, Ancoratus, 7 (PG 43:23B).
The Spirit of the Word is like a love of the Father for the mysteriously begotten Word, and it is the same love that the beloved Word and Son of the Father has for the one who begot him. That love comes from the Father at the same time as it is with the Son and it naturally rests on the Son. - St. Gregory Palamas, Chapters, 36 (PG 150:1144D-1145A).
[I]f God, in the Holy Trinity, is Love, then the Holy Spirit is Love of that love.- Sergius Bulgakov, La Paraclet (1946), p. 74.
Commenting on St. Andrei Rublev's Icon of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit "is in the middle of the Father and the Son. He is the one who brings about the communion between the two. He is the communion, the love between the Father and the Son. That is clearly shown by the remarkable fact that the movement comes from him. It is in his breath that the Father moves into the Son, that the Son receives his Father and that the word resounds." - Paul Evdokimov, "L'icone", La vie spirituelle, 82 (1956), pp. 24ff.
As the late Yves Cardinal Congar commented, "These pieces of evidence are not sufficient, of course, to form a theological tradition, but they do create a link and a point to an openness. 'The walls of separation do not reach as high as heaven.'" - Yves Congar, I Believe in the Holy Spirit (Eng. trans., 1983), vol. 3, p. 89.
It is heresy, embraced by the West. No Orthodox Catholic Christian will ever embrace it for to embrace it is to cease being an Orthodox Catholic Christian.
Funny, how you passed over my invocation of SS. Cyril of Alexandria, Epiphanius, Gregory of Nyssa, Maximus the Confessor, and John of Damascus, who all embraced it. Are they not Orthodox Catholic Christians?
We'll have to disagree. Anything after Nicaea is, in my opinion, not early.
Well, then the political intrusion of Constantinople into the Petrine hierarchy of patriarchates--Rome, Alexandria, Antioch--is not early.
The understanding of the two natures and two wills in Our Lord is not early.
The cult of images is definitely not early.
And St. Photius' pneumatology is even less early!
Besides there are plenty of earlier testimonies among the Western and Eastern (!) Fathers!
Well, here are some examples from the Eastern Fathers:
(1) St. Athanasius (d. 373), in at least three places, refers to the "dependence in origination of the Spirit in the Son." He uses the expression para tou Logou in:
- Contra Arian. III, 24 (PG 26, 376A) - Ad Ser. I, 20 (PG 26, 580A) - Id., III, 5 (PG 26, 632C).
(2) St. Epiphanius (367-403) refers to the Spirit as proceeding from the Father and receiving from the Son:
- Ancoratus, 6 (PG 43, 25C) - Id., 7 (PG 43, 28A) - Id., 11 (PG 43, 36C) - Id., 67 (PG 43, 137B) - Id., 73 (PG 43, 153A) - Id., 120 (PG 43, 236 B) - Panarion, Haer. LXII (PG 41, 1056)
He also said that the Spirit is ("has his consubstantial being") from the Father and the Son:
- Ancoratus, 8 (PG 43, 29C) - Id., 9 (PG 43, 32C) - Id., 67 (PG 43, 137B) - Id., 70 (PG 43, 148A) - Id., 71 (PG 43, 148B) - Id., 72 (PG 43, 152B) - Id., 75 (PG 43, 157A) - Panarion, Haer. LXIX, 54 (PG 42, 285D).
(3) St. Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444) used a great variety of formulae to express the relationship between the Spirit and the Son:
The Spirit is proper to the Son
--Comm. in Ioel XXXV (PG 71, 377D) --De recta fide ad Theod. XXXVII (PG 76, 1189A) --De SS. Trin. Dial. VII (PG 75, 1093A) --Comm. in Ioan. II (PG 71, 212B)
He comes from the Son
- see texts above
He proceeds from the Son
- Adv. Nest. IV, 1 (PG 76, 173A-B)
He proceeds from the Father and the Son
- De recta fide ad Reg. Or. alt. LI (PG 76, 1408B) - De ador. I (PG 68, 148A)
He proceeds from the Father through the Son
- De ador. I (PG 68, 148A) - Adv. Nest. IV, 3 (PG 76, 184D)
(4) I have already cited the evidence from St. Maximus the Confessor for the "through the Son." He also used the expression: dia mesou tou Logou, "by means of the Word." - Quaestiones et dubia, Interr. XXXIV (PG 90, 813B).
(5) There is more evidence from SS. Gregory of Nyssa and John of Damascus, if you are interested - I get the sense, though, that you are not.
Don't twist my words. If Rome were interested in a proper English translation of the Symbol of Faith, there would be no 'and the Son' since the English word 'proceeds' refers to origin.
Actually Cardinal Congar proposed a somewhat better translation, that captures the two meanings of the Latin:
"from the Father as the absolute Source and from the Son"
and he also pointed to the more readily acceptable patristic formula:
"from the Father through the Son."
See Congar, op. cit., p. 206.
Do you reject the Western Fathers who formulated this Western understanding? Of course, if you do that you must also reject the Fifth Holy Ecumenical Council (Constaninople II), which affirmed:
We further declare that we hold fast to the decrees of the four Councils, and in every way follow the holy Fathers . . . Hilary . . . Ambrose . . . Augustine . . . Leo and their writings on the true faith [listing just the Western Fathers mentioned by the Council]. See Constantinople II, Acta, Session I.(4) What are the other Latin errors in the Creed?!?!
1) The extra 'God from God' inserted before 'Light of Light' 2) Changing 'was incarnate of the Holy Spirit AND the Virgin Mary' to 'was incarnate of the Holy Spirit OF the Virgin Mary' 3) The filioque.
(1) I don't possibly see how Deum de Deo could be an error! It comes straight from the Symbol of Nicea I (325). For the text, see Philip Schaff, The Creeds of Christendom (3d ed. 1931), vol. 2, p. 60. The original form of the Symbol was read out and approved at the Holy Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (451), along with the Niceno-Constantinopolitan version. See Chalcedon, Acta, Session II. So do you reject Nicea I and Chalcedon as well?!?!
(2) The textus receptus in Greek reads:
kai sarkothenta ek pneumatos hagiou kai Marias tes parthenou kai enanthropesanta
The textus receptus in Latin is:
et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria virgine, et homo factus est
This gets translated variously, but de and ex are synonymous. In fact, in that line from the Creed, their usage is a kind of correlative form that Latin favors, which we could translate as: ". . . from/of the Holy Spirit and from/of the Virgin Mary . . ."
The meaning is clearly the same in the Latin and the Greek!
I tire of this. The filioque is heresy, plain and simple. Frankly, I'm tired of the Roman equivocations and attempts to 'clarify' (e.g. the September 1995 document by the Vatican Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity as published in L'Osservatore Romano). If they would simply return to the ancient Faith, this problem - a problem created by the Roman Catholics - would no longer exist. Of course, along with the whole idea of papal infallibility, the Roman Catholics have painted themselves into a theological corner.
I would guess it would become tiresome continually to be wrong. As we can see from the above cited passages, the ancient faith included the Filioque! So we have never left it! I do pray for the resumption of communion between us, though.
A second Orthodox participant wrote:
From the Orthodox perspective, the word "proceeds" (processio in Latin) is supposed to translate a Greek word which specifically refers to eternal "hypostatic origin." We Orthodox make a distinction between two different "kinds" of procession. The first type is "hypostatic procession". In this case, the term "procession" is used generally and could mean "begotten-ness" as in the case of the Son, or "proceeding from the Father" (used in a more specific sense) in the case of the Spirit . . .
But we do also acknowledge another general "kind" of "procession". We would call it "energetic procession." This gets into our understanding and distinction that we make between the Divine Essence (which is transcendent and non-accessable to anyone but the Trinity in any sense) and the Divine Energies (in which we participate and through which we become "partakers of the Divine Nature"). The Divine Energy is the Life of God which "surrounds" the Divine Essence. It is one Energy, but we experience it in multiplicity and give it various names (all the names of the attributes of God). It is still the Trinity, the Divine Energies are thus thus Uncreated (as the Trinity is Uncreated). The Divine Energies is the "mode" (if you will) of eternal manifestation of the Trinity. In this sense, we can surely say that the Spirit proceeds "energetically" from the Father through the Son.
If this is not (vain) philosophizing, I don't know what is! These distinctions are foreign to the Western and the Alexandrian traditions. I don't necessarily reject them--but I must point out that this is clearly an example of:
(1) A kind of philosophical theology that many Orthodox condemn when practiced by Latin theologians
(2) A development of doctrine, perhaps anticipated by some of the Fathers, perhaps drawn from the witness of Holy Scripture, but clearly a development of the ante-Nicene understanding that rejected "processions" from the Deity that were not personal/hypostatic.
So there is a door that is "open" theologically so to speak.
Indeed. I agree. But we must push it open more widely - to see the witness of all the Holy Fathers of the faith.
We would argue that if the patristic texts are carefully examined, the distinction between "energetic procession" and "hypostatic origin or procession" will be seen. Every patristic text that seems to endorse a filioque, we would understand as speaking about "energetic procession."
Yes, that might be the latter-day understanding of St. Gregory Palamas, e.g., but it simply does NOT explain ALL of the patristic evidences! St. Athanasius the Great, e.g., affirmed that there were no processions from the Deity which were not personal.
Again, we would say that if you examine the texts, you will find nothing specifically refering to hypostatic origin in these passages. You will, if anything, find evidence that it refers to "energetic procession" as I feebly tried to explain above. Perhaps other Orthodox can correct my poor attempt at explaining this.
Wrong. In several of the passages I cited the meaning is clearly that the Son has some role in the eternal state of the Spirit. He is not the principle, but He has some role. I salute your open door. But we must face ALL of the patristic evidence fairly--especially when our traditions (which are ONE after all) SEEM to diverge so sharply.
The first Orthodox mentioned at the beginning respoinded:
When the capital of the Roman Empire was moved East to New Rome (Constantinople) in the fourth century, the West was pretty much isolated, especially the western-most provinces. By the sixth century, the Filioque heresy had taken root and by the close of the eighth century that heresy was firmly established amongst the Franks. Old Rome resisted this heresy for some time, but with diminishing contact with the East and a growth in the influence of the Franks, Old Rome succumbed to this heresy in the early 11th century. Later in the same century, Old Rome separated from the Church and went with the heretical Franks.
Here are some interesting thoughts from the late Yves Cardinal Congar, O.P., one of the great historical theologians of the 20/c:
[I]t is extremely important to note that the West professed the Filioque, through its Fathers and its councils, at a time when it was in communion with the East and the East was in communion with the West.Cardinal Congar went on to list all of the Western Fathers who professed the filioque:
(Yves Congar, I Believe in the Holy Spirit (Eng. trans. 1983), vol. 3, p. 50)
SS. Hilary of Poitiers (the "Athanasius of the West"), Ambrose, Augustine, Leo the Great, Fulgentius of Ruspe, Eucherius of Lyons, Faustus of Riez, Avitus of Vienne, Gennadius of Marseilles, Julian Pomerius of Arles, Paschasius, Boethius, Cassiodorus, Gregory the Great, and Isidore of Seville.
Western Councils and Creeds that taught the filioque are noted:
The Sixteen Councils of Toledo (440-675), the Quicumque (Athanasian Creed), and the Synod of Hatfield (680).
Cardinal Congar lists these Eastern Fathers who "assumed or stated that the Spirit was dependent in his eternal subsistence on the Son":
SS. Epiphanius and Cyril of Alexandria.
And these Eastern Fathers who "spoke of a procession from the Father through the Son":
SS. Gregory of Nyssa, Maximus the Confessor, and John Damascene.
Indeed we know that the West professed the filioque very early and was still in communion with the East. Here is what St. Maximus the Confessor, the Proto-Greek Catholic theologian, said on the matter, by way of explanation to his fellow Greeks:
[The Romans] have produced the unanimous evidence of the Latin Fathers, and also of Cyril of Alexandria, from the study he made of the gospel of St. John. On the basis of these texts, they have shown that they have not made the Son the cause of the Spirit--they know in fact that the Father is the only cause of the Son and the Spirit, the one by begetting and the other by procession--but that they have manifested the procession through him and have thus shown the unity and identity of the essence. - St. Maximus, Letter to Marinus, PG 91, 136.
As we can see, the filioque is the teaching of the Church! The East may understand it differently - in a complementary way to that of the West. The East may not sing it in the Creed. But, properly understood, it IS the faith of the Church. If one condemns the filioque, he condemns the whole Western church and he condemns the Eastern church that was in communion with the West! Indeed, he either cuts himself off from the whole Church, or he condemns himself!

My name is Josh Pozzolo. From 2005 -2007 I lived in Malawi, Africa with my wife. While living there we adopted a little girl, Alice.
more information can be found here: http://www.cbc.ca/ne...ion-malawi.html
ANYWAY, we returned last year to check in with her village, and it's doing very badly! the water they've used for hundreds of years has dried up, and now they're reduced to drinking runoff that's contaminated with human and animal waste, as well as fertilizer. They don't have anywhere to go, Malawi is the third poorest country in the world, and average income in the region is less than 100$ A YEAR.
SO I entered a contest with Rogers to win $25,000 to drill some wells in her village! she has family that is literally dying, and this would change the lives of over 1000 people. Voting is done daily and you can only vote once a day! please vote for my story "Josh P. Return to Africa"! I'm currently in second, but if we work together we can get to first!
Please, Please, Please vote @ https://www.facebook...103139599851953 it does require a Facebook account! feel free to add me on Facebook, Joshua Pozzolo, and I'll remind you daily!
sadly, the site doesn't work properly in chrome (mixed results), and if you're using internet explorer, you will have to click the "show unsecure content" that will pop up in the bottom of your browser. Works perfectly in Firefox and safari though!
please Vote for Josh P. and Share with your friends! remind them to vote daily, please! this would mean the world to me, my daughter and her village! Guilt your family and friends! make them vote too! everyday!
please vote guys, this is such an important cause!

22.3 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor
The EOS 5D Mark III features a newly developed Canon full-frame 22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor that's designed from the ground up to create high resolution, perfectly detailed images with unprecedented speed and clarity. A full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5784 x 3861 large individual 6.25 µm pixels and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate increases the sensor's sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS digital camera. And a 2-line 8-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG) are possible!
14-bit A/D conversion, wide range ISO setting 100-25600 (L: 50, H1: 51200, H2: 102400)
The EOS 5D Mark III not only offers 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, it delivers higher standard and expanded ISOs, and a score of new options to enhance shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting situations. With a standard range of ISO 100-25600, the EOS 5D Mark III represents a 2-stop increase in sensitivity over previous cameras. Thanks to the improved signal-to-noise ratio of the new sensor and powerful noise reduction, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot at expanded sensitivities down to ISO 50 (L) and up to 51200 (H1), and even 102400 (H2)! Beyond the obvious advantages of its wide ISO range, the EOS 5D Mark III has automatic ISO settings, found on the dedicated ISO menu. Minimum and maximum ISO settings can be specified, as can a user-defined range, plus full auto and manual.
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor for enhanced noise reduction and blazing processing speed
For a whole new level of performance, the EOS 5D Mark III uses a DIGIC 5+ Image Processor. Working with two 4-channel A/D converter front-end processing circuits, and delivering speeds of up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG), and the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor improves data processing performance and features new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In addition to conventional image processing functions the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor offers real-time compensation for chromatic aberration in both still and motion images. With the power of this processor, speed improvements are noticeable from the instant the camera is turned on and the stunning results speak for themselves.
All new 61-Point High Density Reticular AF
The newly designed 61-Point High Density Reticular AF features an Offset Array Sensor (with staggering AF point arrangement) to deliver greater accuracy, no matter the situation. It offers multi-zone wide-area AF for better tracking, has 5 central dual cross-type points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and is sensitive in extremely low-light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens).
The EOS 5D Mark III has a dedicated AF menu tab, so AF can be controlled without having to go through custom function menus. It also has 6 AF point selection methods (Spot, Single Point, Single + Adjacent 4 Points, Single + Adjacent 8 Points, Zone Selection, and Automatic AF Point Selection), plus a dedicated AF configuration tool for control of AI Servo AF III tracking parameters (tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration tracking, and AF point auto switching).
iFCL Metering with 63-zone dual-layering metering sensor
By taking into account the colour and luminosity surrounding the chosen AF point(s), this new system delivers an entirely new level of accuracy, especially in situations where the light changes quickly. The metering sensor enables evaluative, centre weighted, partial and spot metering, plus offers 5-step exposure compensation for perfectly exposed images, every time.
Brilliant HD Recording on Demand
Addressing the requests of the pros and building on the unprecedented success of its namesake, the EOS 5D Mark III captures HD video with a level of sophistication on par with professional movie cameras offering phenomenal performance on a DSLR. It offers both All-I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of time coding during recording only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), useful for multi-camera shoots. It also features improved sound recording adjustment capabilities, offering 64-step volume control accessible through the Quick Control screen during video shooting, plus a dedicated headphone jack for convenience in shooting. The CMOS sensor's new drive system significantly increases image processor performance, reducing colourartefacts and moiré (a common problem that occurs in scenes with horizontal lines), and ensures that the EOS 5D Mark III can record at a number of frame rates up to ISO 25600 in H mode.
High-Speed Continuous Shooting
The EOS 5D Mark III combines fast 8-channel data readout from its 22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor and the supercharged processing capabilities of its DIGIC 5+ Image Processor with a speedier shutter and mirror system to raise the performance bar for all digital cameras, capturing full-frame images and recording them fast to UDMA or SD cards stored in the camera's dual card slots. Ideal for fixed focus situations, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG).
Magnesium alloy body with shutter durability and dust- and weather-resistance
For professionals who demand nothing less than the best, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform superbly, even in the most treacherous environments, every time. The body is constructed of rigid, high-strength magnesium alloy for rugged performance and features a new grip design for easier finger placement and reduced hand fatigue. Its newly redesigned shutter has lightweight and carbon-fibre blades, and is rated to maintain up to 6.0 fps performance without compromise, for up to 150,000 cycles. The EOS 5D Mark III and accessories like the new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E7A and GPS Receiver GP-E2 have extensive casketing for improved dust and water resistance, even at their connection points.
Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit
The Self Cleaning Sensor Unit featured in the EOS 5D Mark II has been optimized for the new EOS 5D Mark III to deliver even greater dust removal for clearer images. To prevent dust accumulation, the system removes particles adhered to the surface of the infrared absorbing/ultraviolet-blocking glass in a frontward direction by vibrating the glass with ultrasound. The particles are then absorbed by an adsorbent at the bottom of the unit; the unit itself is completely sealed for protection against external contaminants, and its front face of the low-pass filter 1 is treated with an anti-dust fluorine coating making it easier to remove damp or sticky dust particles.
3.2" TFT LCD Monitor
The EOS 5D Mark III's 3.2" TFT LCD monitor has 1,040,000 dots, anti-reflective construction and features Canon's Clear View II technology for bright, sharp display in any number of shooting situations. It's ideal for reviewing settings and images, as well as for shooting in Live View mode. In Live View, grid lines can be displayed in 9 sections, 24 sections, or 9 sections with diagonals, as can the dual-axis electronic level, which helps ensure accurate level by displaying both roll and pitch. For image review, the EOS 5D Mark III has a new, dedicated Magnify/Reduce button. While pressing the button, zooming in or out (up to 10x) is achieved simply by turning the Main Dial. Images can be protected or erased quickly, individually or in batches, and slideshows can be created with some or all images and can be sequenced by date, folders, movies, stills or rating. A feature guide can be accessed for the selected menu, providing detailed reference information whenever needed.
Corrective Lenses
The EOS 5D Mark III features a number of corrective tools to accommodate for the particulars of the lens used. Canon's lens peripheral illumination correction feature corrects light falloff in the corner of the image. Chromatic aberration can be corrected at the time of shooting with the 5D Mark III's Chromatic Aberration Correction tool. The new Distortion Correction feature corrects distortions such as curved lines by correcting for the characteristics of the particular lens used to take the shot so images that may have been distorted in the captured image appear straight. The camera has correction data for a number of EF lenses preloaded, and new lenses can be added to the camera's database via EOS Utility. The camera can even distinguish between different lenses of the same model using the serial number (with compatible EF lenses).
Flash Photography
The EOS 5D Mark III features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering - giving even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there's a menu setting to change to "Average" flash metering - where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure.
The Canon Speedlite 580EX II is the ideal step-up accessory for powerful flash shooting with the EOS 5D Mark II. It has excellent flash power (maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get great flash pictures when you can't get right up to the subject. The 580EX II is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm or longer with the EOS 5D Mark II. Of course, it works with the camera to provide full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 580EX II has a powerful AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera.
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E4A
This Wireless File Transmitter was made for the EOS 5D Mark II. It's compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup to connect easily to a wireless LAN access point for secure image transfer. Sending a batch of photos wirelessly is easy with the WFT-E4A as images can be stored in selected folders and the entire folder can be transferred at once. It retains the same features as the WFT-E3A including great handling for vertical shooting and wireless transmission (802.11b or g) to Macintosh or Windows computers for distances of up to 492 ft. (150m).

The Master of Arts (MA) in Biological Sciences serves as the core degree for those seeking additional academic credentials while offering academic enrichment, skill development, and career advancement for working scientists. Designed for professionals employed in biology-related fields such as health care, agriculture, environmental science, and teaching, the program equips graduates to take on new challenges and expanded workplace responsibilities. The primary options for MA track include:
- the MAGB [1] (MA, General Biology track): a literature-based thesis in the biological sciences
- the MABE [1] (MA, Biology Education track): an education focus for certified teachers
- the MAAB [1] (MA, Applied Biosciences track): focusing on business / biology skills for those in commercial / industrial fields
Course selections allow additional flexibility.
The program is structured to accommodate students' work schedules. Many students enroll on a part-time basis to balance their professional duties with graduate school. In recognition of that need for balance, Delaware State does not require students to complete a laboratory-based research thesis for the MA degree.
For those seeking research laboratory experiences, see the Master of Science (MS) degree in Biological Sciences.
Professional Preparation
Graduate students in biology at Delaware State develop superior academic and communication skills. They learn to design experiments, analyze results, present their findings to peers, and write for scientific publications.
Master's candidates in Biology work closely with faculty members to design a literature topic. The program's small scope and size ensures a high degree of direct interaction between professors and graduate students. Delaware State's biology faculty includes highly accomplished researchers and educators. Graduate students benefit from professors' experience as well as their professional and academic networks.
Research and Experience
Although MA students do not participate directly in laboratory-based research, they can interact with active researchers and draw upon their wealth of knowledge and resources. The literature-based thesis requires extensive knowledge-based research since the final report is presented to a thesis committee. Although there are active, well-funded inquiries on campus in such fields as neuroscience, biofuels, cancer, DNA analysis, plant breeding, and gene manipulation; the topic can be selected by the student and an appropriate advisor / committee will be identified, if possible.

University officers will make all reasonable efforts to afford appropriate faculty representatives and bodies the time and material necessary for careful consideration of issues and appointments submitted to them. University officers will also take all necessary steps to ensure that the views of faculty members involved in such proceedings shall be privileged.
Faculty participation endows the University naturally with particular experience and expertise. It is essential for the vitality of the University to ensure a wide faculty representation in its bodies and its formulation of policies.
The Universtiy Academic Senate is a deliberative body with responsibilities for academic policy formulation of an all-University character and for the review and evaluation of academic programs and planning. Its conclusions on academic policy, academic planning, and program evaluation represent the official collective stance of the area of Academic Affairs, and they will be reported as such by the Provost, to the appropriate higher authorities. Recommendations of the Academic Senate are subject to the approval of the President and the Trustees.
The University Statutes for the Academic Senate can be found in this Faculty Handbook in Section II-B.
The chairpersons of all departments are appointed by the Provost and the appropriate academic Dean following deep and effective involvement of the appropriate faculty in the selection process.
Advisory committees are established within each department as a medium for faculty participation in departmental direction. In some departments the committee in question is strictly an advisory committee, in others it is an executive committee; the choice in either case is left to departmental determination.
Other academic boards and committees on which faculty serve can be found listed in Section II-A and briefly described in Section II-D.
In fact, faculty are asked to serve on other committees beside those that report to the Provost; for example, the University Appeals Committee and the Athletics Board.

Hollywood, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - NFL twin brothers Mike and Maurkice Pouncey are reportedly being investigated in an alleged assault of a man in a Miami Beach nightclub that took place early Saturday morning.
Ricky Vasquez wrote on his Twitter account that he was attacked by four bouncers as well as the two offensive linemen at the Cameo nightclub during a birthday party for the Pounceys. The story was first reported by the Broward- Palm Beach New Times.
Miami Beach police sergeant Bobby Hernandez confirmed to the New Times that an incident occurred at 4:20 a.m. ET at the club and the department is still in the process of going over the complaint. No arrests have been made, though Vasquez tweeted that he plans to press charges.
"We have not confirmed it's the Pouncey brothers that are the subjects, but we are going to have detectives contacting the victims to investigate further," Hernandez told the paper.
Vasquez also tweeted that he felt "like I just got gay bashed."
Mike Pouncey, a center for the Miami Dolphins, was one of the primary players investigated in last season's bullying scandal involving former offensive lineman Jonathan Martin. Maurkice Pouncey, who played alongside his brother at the University of Florida, has been named to the Pro Bowl in three of his four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The twins previously came under scrutiny last summer for donning baseball caps printed with the words "Free Hernandez," a show of support for former Gators teammate and New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez in the latter's ongoing murder trial in Massachusetts.

|One Pot Meals
Set It & Forget It Recipes for the Working Mom
by Guest Columnist Sarah Lasry
Besides everything else that I do to provide for my daughter out of my home, I also have a 24/7 full time job where I work as a teacher, entertainer, cleaning lady, and of course, the on–call chef.
The truth is if you are a mother, by default you are a full−time working mom. And if you are anything like me as a mom, you are always looking for those little things in life that make your job a little easier. So, I have a secret weapon in my kitchen arsenal − the one pot.
What is this one pot kitchen miracle you ask? Well, it is really two things; a cast iron Dutch oven pot (like the Le Creuset pots I buy on sale at T.J.Maxx or, the less expensive and almost as superior, Rachel Ray Pot I bought at Kohl's) that I use when I have 2 hours before dinner and I have yet to put anything up.
Or, it is my $19.99 Crockpot slow cooker that is not only used for my Shabbat cholent. My slow cooker is the perfect solution for when I am out of the house at 8 AM, with no time to make dinner before my daughter comes home from school.
These two One Pots are my best friends in the kitchen and are perfect for what I like to call "Set it & Forget it − One Pot Recipes".
The trick to one pot cooking is making sure that your liquid−to−ingredients ratio is not too much or too little – combined with the temperature of the oven, or slow cooker, and the amount of time you plan on cooking it. Sounds a little complicated, but truthfully it is not. It really is a simple matter of common sense, or trial and error, when it comes to creating your own recipes. Many times I just dump what's left in the fridge − vegetables, meat, etc; use ingredients already in my pantry...walk away and Voilà – a delicious dinner!
But for those who are a little less adventurous than me, here are my favorite go–to One Pot Set It & Forget It dinners I make on a very regular basis! Chicken Tomato Barley Soup, Apple Juice Chicken & Potatoes and Turkey Meatballs & Spaghetti.
Enjoy & Happy Cooking!

I've been standing back and watching at our local Best Buy. The Apple section and the tablet sections are packed but almost no one goes to the Windows 8 section.
Not what i'm seeing.. I'm seeing that most stores still have their Windows 7 pcs showcased and maybe have 1-2 windows 8 laptops that were merely upgraded windows 7 machines. The stores that do have windows 8 ultrabooks, desktops, all in ones and tablets with windows 8 are absolutely packed.
So for those of you who work at stores where they don't give a crap, you guys fail. If you work at a store that bothered to build out a windows 8 display and setup PC's with touch screens, you guys get it.
I would like to see sales from businesses and corporations on Windows 8. I think a majority of corporation are going to be using Windows 7 for a long time if they have even switched over from XP. Individual purchases of W8 will be from a younger age group 18-30. More of a gimmicky OS that people want to purchase to play with and they can tell their friends they have it. Not very functional for most, especially desktop users when looking at installing and quickly adapting and getting to work.
Can you quite it with the nonsense? You have no clue what corporations want and no clue what end users want. Windows 8 has a lot more even over Windows7 for corporate deployment, management and quite frankly, a lot of IT shops will be thrilled to push out windows 8 because management of infrastructures running WinRT apps is a lot less of a hassle than current win32 apps. There will be a learning curve, but people aren't idiots and learning windows 8 is quite often a lot easier than learning some kludgy sucky line of business application that people learn because its their JOB.
Virtualization, modernizing of apps to html5 and the ability to run remote desktops and remote applications is pushing many corporations to Bring your own device (BYOD) and quite frankly, nothing connects to BYOD any better than a Windows 8 system. Employees will just bring their own device and the apps/services will be virtualized and presented through a controlled fashion.

Jan Van Quirm wrote:The Jews (the important ones i.e. Herod and the law-givers) rejected Jesus the man, because, politically he was 'too soon' by about 30 years for full scale revolution (or, you could argue, too into passive resistance and anti-violence, which of course back then would have been too slow to work satisfactorily) and that is when is when the Romans seriously prodded buttock and began the first really purposeful racial persecution of the Jews, which was partially fuelled by the growth of Christianity and provided a good excuse for decimating Jerusalem and exiling the Jews from their own territories
Jan Van Quirm wrote:Islam was the first major rupture in Christianity, and also in Judaism you could perceivably argue, in that some of the Aramaic Palestinians and assorted desert tribes were finally united by their very own true prophet Muhammed and you have to admit that Muhammed was a lot more successful in his professional life than Jesus ever was, unless you read a lot of Dan Brown
Jan Van Quirm wrote:I didn't mean that Herod and the Pharisees caste were revolutionaries (wasn't Herod a old mate of the Emperor Claudius and not Jewish anyway?).
Jan Van Quirm wrote:As for Islam as a schism of Christianity and/or Judaism it's simply a progression isn't it? You could quite justifiably say, and we both in fact have by default, that Christianity is a schism of Judaism, as that's why we have the same same god for one thing.
Jan Van Quirm wrote:Islam I meant as the major 'heresy' in terms of it ceding entirely away from the one god as Jesus to just god with Muhammed as his true human prophet (although didn't he ascend to Heaven too? Pity he had to choose Jerusalem to do that though - very bad foresight on the part odf god there).
Jan Van Quirm wrote:What I meant by Jesus being 30 years too early is that his followers may have been able to push through the violence and succeed without pissing the Romans off too much and maybe then the Jews wouldn't have had such a rought time of it ever since
raisindot wrote:The Jews for Jesus were only one group among many, and probably would have never become more than a minority sect. The real reason why Christianity was able to spread like wildfire was because its main evangelist and entrepreneur, Paul.
raisindot wrote:I wouldn't say it's either a schism or a 'progression' (we Jews certainly don't think Christianity is a 'progression,' any more than Christians think Islam is a progression. A progression implies evolution, which suggests that Islam is the latest truly separate "montheistic species." Whereas, I think most Jews and Christians think of it a separate religion that just happens to have its theological roots in the Judeochristian tradition. In the same way that Buddhism was a separate belief system (I don't call it necessarily a religion) based on, but not a schism of, Hinduism.

State and Federal law require an annual assessment of K-12 Limited English Proficient (LEP) students to measure their English language proficiency. The Ohio Test of English Language Acquisition (OTELA) is the assessment used for testing English language proficiency for Ohio LEP students in Grades K-12.
The OTELA is based on the test item banks and scales from the English Language Development Assessment (ELDA), which was used in Ohio Grades 3-12 in 2005, and Grades K-2 in 2006. ELDA is a test product for English language proficiency assessment developed through the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). Ohio was one member of a multi-state collaborative effort to develop and field test the ELDA. Field tests of ELDA items and forms were conducted in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2005, Ohio conducted a statewide census field test of the ELDA in Grades 3-12 and a census field test of grades K-2 in 2006.
The OTELA differs from ELDA in that it is comprised of shorter forms (fewer test items) for each tested domain. These shorter OTELA forms address the same English Language Proficiency standards and are of comparable reliability. ODE estimates that the overall test administration time required for the OTELA forms will be less than 40 percent of that required for the full length ELDA test forms.
Following are information and resources for the OTELA.

It's a drill every gearhead can relate to: turn 18, get a credit card, order up go-fast goodies from Summit Racing, and then repeat on a monthly basis for the rest of your adult existence. By offering budget-strapped racers affordable prices on the hottest aftermarket performance hardware, few companies have done more for the hot rodding cause than Summit. For speed junkies, perusing the Summit catalog in the garage or cubicle is as routine as breathing. Considering the significant role the company plays in the enthusiast lifestyle, we took it upon ourselves to answer the question that everyone has pondered at some point. Exactly what does it take to run a veritable automotive empire, and what goes on behind the scenes at Summit?
To find out, we engaged in an enlightening conversation with Nan Gelhard of Summit. Although it's best known as a mail-order stalwart, Summit Racing started out as a humble speed shop that was operated out of a spare bedroom in the '60s. Founded by racers for racers, Summit has never lost sight of its grassroots beginnings, and is always looking for ways to give back to the hot rodding community. In addition to the company's legendary low prices, Summit actively supports and sponsors NHRA and IHRA Sportsman contingency programs. Furthermore, the company is busy expanding its own in-house brand of parts to pass even more savings on to its customers. Without a doubt, the average street machine would be a heck of a lot slower without the outstanding values Summit offers. Here's an inside peek at what it takes to make it all happen.
Birth of an Empire
As one of the best-recognized names in the entire automotive aftermarket, every enthusiast has spent lots of their hard-earned money with Summit. While it's best known for offering outstanding values on go-fast parts through a massive mail-order network, Summit's beginnings were far less elaborate. "The company was founded in Stow, Ohio, in 1968 as a one-person, part-time business by an avid drag racer who became frustrated by the lack of speed shops in Northeast Ohio. He started out by selling parts to friends, but once word got out about his great prices, the company began to expand rapidly," Nan explains. "Summit Racing opened its first store to meet this growing demand in the Akron, Ohio, area. The company remained strictly a retail operation until the early '70s, carrying parts from big names like Accel, Holley, Mallory, and Mickey Thompson. In 1972, Summit Racing placed its first ads in the back of Hot Rod and Car Craft magazines, and soon found itself taking orders from across the country. The success of those ads led to the creation of the first Summit Racing catalog, and a few years later the transformation into a mail-order company was in full swing." Today, Summit Racing produces six primary catalogs, plus tool and garage accessories catalogs. In addition, SummitRacing.com features an online catalog with the company's entire inventory. Through it all, Summit has managed to stay in touch with its retail roots, with retail locations in Tallmadge, Ohio (Summit Racing headquarters); Sparks, Nevada; and McDonough, Georgia.
"We employ the latest technology to fulfill orders quickly, but our most important asset is our people. We all have the same goal: to help our customers get the right parts as quickly and easily as possible. We keep our toll-free ordering and customer service lines open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so customers can order whenever they want. We pack our website full of technical product information, so shoppers have the info they need to make the right buying decisions. Plus, we have the industry's largest full-time technical department to provide expert advice when customers have technical questions. Once our customers place their orders, we focus on getting those parts delivered as quickly as possible. Our huge in-stock selection is a big part of the equation, because we promise to ship in-stock parts ordered before 9:00 p.m. EST the same day. We keep inventory in three different warehouses-Ohio, Nevada, and Georgia-so we can ship parts from the warehouse located closest to each customer for fastest delivery. Most orders arrive in one to two days via ground service in the contiguous 48 states, and we have express shipping available for when customers need parts even faster."
Summit Catalog
The Summit catalog is a staple of every car enthusiast. Not surprisingly, creating nearly 400 pages of goodies every two months is no small order. "With six 'big book' catalogs a year, plus the Tools and Garage Accessories catalog, and the Genuine Hotrod Hardware catalogs, it requires a mammoth effort by people from multiple groups in our company. Summit Racing has always been on the leading edge when it comes to new products, so we rely heavily on our team of merchandisers to pay attention to what is going on in the industry, watch for interesting new products, look for industry trends, and then add new products and brands accordingly," Nan explains. Compiling the catalogs is truly a team effort, as it also requires substantial cooperation from the manufacturers. "We want our print and online catalogs to include as much information as space allows, so we work closely with our manufacturers to get accurate information in a timely manner that meets our production deadlines. Members of our catalog production team are gearheads as well, so they know how to present products in the best possible way. The bottom line is that it takes a total team effort to bring a catalog from concept to our customers' mailboxes."
Since many hot rodders never actually see Summit's facilities, it's easy to lose sight of the massive scope of the company's day-to-day operations. Meeting the demands of a power-hungry public requires lots of square feet, and hundreds of dedicated employees. Summit's headquarters-in Tallmadge, Ohio-is located just down the road from where the company was founded. This setting is home to the bulk of Summit's employees, including most of the round-the-clock sales and customer service staff, the industry's largest full-time technical staff, a retail super store, and a state-of-the-art warehouse. In addition to its flagship facility in Ohio, Summit also has retail and warehouse locations in Sparks, Nevada, and McDonough, Georgia. The beauty of strategically locating multiple warehouses in different regions of the country is that Summit is able to deliver parts to most mail-order customers in about two days via standard ground shipping at a discounted flat rate. "Since we're known these days primarily as a mail-order and internet company, many people don't know about our large retail stores," says Nan. "Our retail locations in Ohio and Georgia are massive 25,000 square-foot facilities, and our Nevada store measures 11,000 square feet. These stores are packed with parts displays, and are connected to huge warehouses, so many parts are in stock and ready for immediate pick up. We've come a long way from that speed shop that was run out of a spare bedroom in 1968."
Product Diversity
To maintain its status as an aftermarket powerhouse, Summit is always adding new parts and manufacturers to its inventory. With the diverse preferences of enthusiasts, determining which parts are in demand-and which ones would waste precious warehouse space-can be a daunting challenge. However, with a dedicated staff of in-house hot rodders, Summit has no problem staying on top of the latest industry trends, which helps the company offer the most desirable performance parts. For instance, due to their overwhelming popularity amongst the masses, Summit has recently added companies like AFR and Classic Motorsports Group to their roster. "Most Summit Racing employees are also enthusiasts, and share the same passion as our customers," says Nan. "We're constantly reading industry publications, talking to our manufacturers, and most importantly, listening to our customers. We go to shows, races, and other events to see firsthand what's happening in the industry and look for new trends and potential new product lines."

Mel Brooks does it again with this send-up of vampire films. That Leslie Nielson plays the great blood-sucking count gives viewers a good idea as to what they are in for. This Dracula takes himself very seriously despite the fact that he's a bit of a klutz with a tendency to slip in the bat guano that adorns his castle floor. Staying very close to Bram Stoker's original story, Brooks also pays sly homage to other major vampire film classics, including Nosferatu. Though silly but subtle gags abound in this outing, Brooks has taken great care to recreate the late 19th-century atmosphere in rich detail and harkens back to Hammer horror movies popular during the '50s and '60s.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Can we get more details about the Apple exclusive Squier Strat?
For instance: manufacturing location, woods used, pickup specs, color options, etc. Even with the great feature of plugging directly into an Apple device, tonal properties are still important to many guitarists.
- Asked by Robert C from Lakewood
Squier by Fender® USB Stratocaster Guitar
Product No Longer Available
4 Answers from the Community
I spoke to Fender and confirmed that it's essentially a modified BULLET® STRAT® WITH TREMOLO HSS in Brown Sunburst. You can see that one on the Fender site, with build specs. Apple won't let me paste a link.
- Answered by David G from West Hollywood
I had the same question on specs concerning strings more specifically as this, like all Squier rosewood neck, has black residue all over the fingerboard. I have numerous Fender guitars (38) and too many Squier models and the 'black on the fingerboard syndrome' always plagues the Squiers only. I have an idea as to why but it is not fact. Only to say I believe the black addresses a perseptual issue only. 'Nuf said. I will say that this is yet another example of Squier supplying a product that has a value that greatly exceeds the selling price. Solid build, above average pieces/parts, innovation ahead of the curve and backed by one of the most excepted name in instruments. Yeah, I wish it was USA made. I've wished I had Claptons' fingers and hands for thirty years too. Neither one is coming true. I'll enjoy the guitar and still listen to and love Slowhand.
Bottom line, use the Squier tech specs from all the other Strats and I think we'll all be fine. I did use a micrometer on the strings and they match up with the 250s. .009 top and .042 bottom is how I read 'em. Good strummin' to you.
- Answered by Teryl T from Owings Mills
Made in Indonesia. Reviews I've read have been pretty good for the price.
- Answered by Peter J
I phoned Apple and was told that the colour is the colour. I hope more colours come in time...
As for the rest, it's still a Fender Squier. I'm guessing it's the same everything as a standard Squier would have.

text: Parallels - Lithuanian Architecture: Three Eras, Three Faces Date 10am - 5pm*Please note that the exhibition will be closed on the morning of Thursday 10 October. It will re-open from 1pm.Presenting a survey of the evolution of Lithuanian architecture over the last century, this exhibition examines the impact that dramatically diverse social, political and economic contexts have had on the design of the urban environment within the largest of the Baltic states. Currently holding the presidency of the European Union, Lithuania has undergone severe change in recent history. Its three significant periods – independent republic (1918 - 1940), soviet era (1940 – 1990) and state independence (1990 - ) - will be explored through an examination of key buildings and architectural styles, and the exhibition makes a case for the development of unique forms of architecture emerging within these distinct time frames. The display will showcase a wide range of buildings and structures, organised into categories such as 'Living', 'Governing and Administration', 'Education' and 'Meeting'. Each section will highlight buildings that represent each of the historical periods being examined. Visitors will be presented with a compelling selection of images, and are invited to explore both the similarities and differences relating to the aesthetics, ideas and symbols encoded in Lithuanian architecture over these critical historical periods.

Segawa Kikunojo III as Oshizu, Wife of Tanabe Bunzo
This print of the actor Segawa Kikunojo III is one of the most celebrated portraits of the onnagata (male actor in a female role) by the late eighteenth-century artist Toshusai Sharaku. It portrays a character in the Genroku era play Hanaayame Bunroku Soga (The Iris Saga of the Bunroku Era), a drama that retells the true story of the vengeance of ten brothers for their father's assassination in 1701. The play was performed at the Miyako-za theater in the city of Edo in May 1794.
The portrait is in the bust-length, close-up format known as okubi-e. Sharaku utilized this format to highlight the expressive talents of the performer and to document the role. The mica ground is a distinctive feature of Sharaku's portraits; the signature and publisher's seal were stamped over the mica following the printing.
Sharaku was active only from May 1794 to January 1795. He produced 140 actor prints in that period, after which he disappeared. No other works with this artist's signature are known. The mystery of his identity is still unsolved. One theory has proposed that Sharaku himself was an actor, but for the Noh form of theater.
- Artist: Toshusai Sharaku, Japanese, active 1794-1795
- Medium: Color woodblock print

- Catalogue Description: Half-length portrait of an actor playing a female role. The actor's face is in a slight frown, her hand tucked into her obi (sash). The figure appears against a ground of dark gray mica powder. This print of the actor Segawa Kikunojo III is one of Sharaku's most celebrated portraits of an "onnagata" (male actor in a female role). Dated to May 1794, it portrays the sardonic expression of a character in the Genroku play "Hanaayame Bunroku Soga", a drama that tells the true story of the vengeance of ten brothers twenty-eight years after their father's assassination in 1701. The artist, Sharaku, was a Noh actor in the service of the lord of Awa, now Osaka, and is credited with producing more than 150 print designs of "kabuki" actors for one publisher within a nine-month period from May 1794 to February 1795. All of this artist's prints are either facial portraits or portraits of actors in full view on stage, and the respect he treats the face of each actor was never attempted by the other artists of Edo. His works are completely different in conception and quality. Condition: good, green may be slightly retouched, may have been pressed. trimmed at right and at edge. Definitive Catalogue No: Henderson and Ledoux. Vignier-Inada. 275. The play "Hanaayame Buroku Soga" was performed at the Miyako-za theater in Edo in May 1794 (Kansei 6). Sharaku became active from May 1794 when Kabuki was held at three theaters: Miyako-za, Kiri-za, and Kawarazaki-za. The artist was active only from May 1794 to January 1795, in the lunar year. Sharaku produced about 140 popular as well as unknown actor prints in 10 months. It has been said that Sharaku was a Noh actor, Saito Jurobei, who served for the Lord of Awa which was a province of Shikoku island near Osaka. However while his absence from the mission (4/21/94-4/2/96) matches with the period of Sharaku's surviving works, it has not proved that they were identical. The print was signed and bears the ivy-leaf emblem of the publisher, Tsutaya with a circle for the kiwame seal of censorship. (Roger Keyes, "The Art of Sharaku" in the catalog) All of Sharaku's prints were published by Tsutaya Juzaburo. Tsutaya hid Sharaku's personal history from his rival print merchants. (Haruo Suwa, "Sharaku and Kabuki" in the catalog)

Water Mine Family Swimmin' Hole
The Water Mine Family Swimmin' Hole offers more than an acre of slides, flumes, sprays, showers, floatables and interactive play features, circled by Rattlesnake River with a 2.5 mile per hour current that gently nudges tubes along. A bit of the old west is recreated here. Kids careen off covered wagons, float on rattlesnakes and dash through showers tipped from water-filled ore carts.
The centerpiece is Pete's Peak, a craggy mountain dotted with boarded up mine shafts and tunnels. Twin gang slides - Big Pete and Little Pete - jut from the mountain, giving youngsters a thrill ride they'll return to again...and again...and again.
Mountain and slides are named for Pete the Prospector. According to Lake Fairfax legend, he staked his claim there in 1849, searching for gold. Sadly for Pete, his years of digging found only water. But now, with The Water Mine, the Park Authority is turning Pete's worthless old strike into the golden fun of summer.
While the Water Mine's attractions are designed for elementary-aged children, there's something here for everyone. Tenderfoot Pond, with its pint-sized slides and gentle bubblers, gives toddlers a perfect place for water play. Teenagers can join a game of water volleyball, and everyone will enjoy going with the flow in a tube on Rattlesnake River.

From the Lab: BYTE
The BYTE headlamp puts out 50 lumens in a spot beam with its two-mode Maxbright LED. A red Ultrabright LED helps you keep a low profile and preserves your night adjusted vision. BYTE is stable with its asymmetrical single arm bracket and the power button is easy to find even while wearing gloves. A new battery lockout prevents accidental battery drain. BYTE runs for up to 146 hours in white mode on just two AAA alkaline batteries. This headlamp is also lithium battery compatible.
Is it easy to replace batteries on this...
Is it easy to replace batteries on this headlamp, (I can do it manually) or does it require a screwdriver to remove the plate to install batteries?

After looking at the Byte User Manual, it seems that you do *not* need additional tools to replace the batteries.
Sara Kay
The Byte is easy to open and replace batteries without any tools.
