New endurance test confirms: SCHOTT Solar modules even stand up to air that contains salt
- Source:www.schott.com
- Post Time:2012/3/9
- Click Amount:230
SCHOTT Solar AG again reports that its quality strategy has been confirmed by TÜV Rheinland: the modules from the SCHOTT PERFORM POLY series have now passed the salt spray corrosion test at the most difficult level of 6. This test came into effect in December 2011 as the IEC standard 61701: 2011 Ed.2. The company received the official certificate from TÜV Rheinland at the end of February. Furthermore, SCHOTT Solar will be submitting a declaration of identical construction for other models. SCHOTT Solar thus documents that high-quality modules from this German manufacturer guarantee reliable electricity yields for years, even under the most challenging conditions.
To make sure that an investment in a solar system pays off, the modules must be capable of generating high electricity yields for decades and stand up to various environmental influences, including salty air, for example. "This issue is obviously particularly important for modules that are to be installed in coastal areas. Nevertheless, air can contain salt even further inland. The remains it leaves behind on the modules can cause corrosive damages after it rains again. The TÜV Rheinland test has confirmed that this is not the case with SCHOTT Solar modules," explains Christian Thiemann, Product Marketing Manager for SCHOTT Solar.
The new extreme test developed by TÜV Rheinland subjects modules to the stress that they would experience in coastal areas, for example. The new most challenging level of difficulty 6 is unique in that it calls for modules to be subjected to eight test cycles in 56 days. Here, the modules are sprayed with salt water for two hours at a time, then attacked by a 5% sodium chloride solution and finally stored at 40°C and 93% humidity for 20 hours.
"As a matter of principle, we test SCHOTT Solar modules at our own test facilities twice as strictly as the international IEC standard calls for. The new salt spray test now also confirms that modules from SCHOTT Solar offer long-term stability even under the most challenging conditions," Thiemann adds.
Guarantee applies even near the sea
SCHOTT Solar also offers its normal linear performance guarantee that ranges from between 25 and 30 years depending on the type of module for installations close to the sea. Customers are on the safe side with the SCHOTT PERFORM POLY assuming that they are installed properly in accordance with the mounting and installation instructions that apply when the modules are to be installed and the modules do not come into direct contact with salt water and the materials used in the frame and mounting system are resistant to electrical corrosion.

Chris Brown is reportedly unhappy with the way his camp has dealt with the aftermath of his "altercation" with Rihanna and is planning on cleaning house soon, or at least that's what the New York Post is reporting.
According to the publication, Chris is furious that reports of his alleged "sexual relationship" with his former manager Tina Davis were leaked.
Davis was cited as the "other woman" who sent texts to Brown the night of the altercation causing the fight in the Lamborghini, all of which Davis denies.
Davis denies "rumors" of any texts or "sexual relationships" claiming her and Brown were strictly "manager and client."
But that's not all, he's reportedly not happy with his current crisis management team as well. The insider added: "Chris wanted to apologize [for the alleged beat-down] much earlier . . . and he was upset when the apology was finally released because it sounded so insincere."
However Brown's business attorney, Kenny Meiselas is singing a different tune. He said, "We are very happy with Chris' team and there are no changes." Guess only time will tell!
Chris Brown's team has responded to reports that he is considering replacing his management, attorney and crisis team, saying non of it is true. Here is a statement from co-manager Joyce Hawkins:
"Reports that Chris is looking to replace his team, including Mark Geragos, Tina Davis and Mike Sitrick, are false," says the statement from Joyce Hawkins.
"There are only two people who could make a change at that level on Chris' behalf: his business attorney Kenny Meiselas and me – and neither of us were the source of this information.
"To the contrary, Kenny told the media outlet that broke this item, that the information they had was false. So there is no room for doubt or misunderstanding, let me state unequivocally, that no change is planned or being made with respect to Mark Geragos, Tina Davis or Mike Sitrick. We are very pleased with the work they are doing."

For the next two years we will see Republicans do everything they can to deliver for corporate America at the expense of the American people. The only question is whether Democrats will enable them. Will President Obama continue to make compromise after compromise?
There are plenty of metaphors to choose from, as we all breathlessly watch the Republican Party make their latest attempt at semi-rational governing.
Yes, apparently that's a new word now: "cromnibus." Now, some, editorially-speaking, have been insisting on "CRomnibus" or "Cromnibus," but for the time being here, we've decided that it doesn't qualify for proper-name status in any way.
If you abuse someone no matter what he does, he might as well stand his ground. That is what our 44th president, at long last, appears to be doing.
If the Republican leadership can sell it to enough of its members, it could be a way out of the perpetual crisis machine that the budget has become. By separating the politics from the actual real-world results, it allows both factions of the Republican Party to get what they want.
An opportunity for our artists and arts institutions to lead, globally, is to approach their identity and creation of art holistically and with intention--to be global citizens
We've waited this long, I think we can afford to wait another couple of weeks. It might not change anything -- it might not influence congressional Republicans in the slightest -- but there is a chance that it could. That chance is worth taking.
Many are now pointing out that Warren's elevation pretty much assures she won't be running for president in 2016, but then we never really believed she would run in the first place. At this point, she'll be much more effective within the Senate Democrats.
Hating Obama should not be an effective political organizing strategy, but is indeed in the absence of any effective Democratic backbone to counter right-wing absurdities. Democrats deserve their losses; they ceded the battle before it began.
A year ago, Americans were chomping at the bit for an opportunity to vote against those responsible for the government shutdown that cost the government and businesses an estimated 24 billion in lost economic output.
In six days, the nation will render its collective judgment in the midterm elections, and none of us knows what voters will do when they choose their poison on Election Day.
Amanda is a true representative of "Us." Against staggering odds, through education and grit, Amanda worked her way into the middle class.
Do you wonder, as I do, when will Blacks recognize the value of their vote and push Dems to act truly in the best interests of all Americans? When will Blacks leave the Party and empower themselves by recognizing that Democrats are not their best or only option?
A Republican Senate is pretty much an iron-clad guarantee of the return of "fiscal cliffs" and "government shutdowns" and "hostage-taking" and all the rest of the budgetary games Republicans are known for playing.
One year ago today, Republicans made their strongest possible case outlining their governing principles. Threatened by the prospect of millions of Americans securing access to quality, affordable health care, Republicans chose instead to shut down the federal government.
As Silly Season winds to a close, there were a smattering of 'Obama's on vacation -- how dare he!?!' stories, as usual. Obama has taken less than a third of the days off that President Bush did, but that certainly doesn't stop pundits from complaining every time Obama picks up a golf club.

Unheard Sounds
A/N: Ok, here it is, another Entreri/Drizzt/Entreri story. I really didn't want to post this one, because I think that Entreri is WAY too out of character, but then again just think of this as bilge. (The crap that just needs to be written down so I can move onto bigger and better things.)
The auburn haired woman groaned in frustration and buried her face in her fluffy feather pillow, using it to cover her ears, trying to drown out the sounds coming from the room next to hers. Out of all the inns in Waterdeep, Drizzt had to pick the nosiest. Well that really wasn't the truth. If fact this inn came highly recommended and the service was great, it was just her neighbor that was the problem. Her neighbors, she should say, and what they were doing. Never before had she known a person to be so loud and whatever the woman in the other room was doing to her partner was making him moan in all its arty forms. Just thinking about what was going on was enough for her to blush in embarrassment.
"Gods, quit teasing me!" came the muffled groan that was shortly followed by a slight chuckle, a chuckle that was low and thick. Like a man's. Cattie-Brie's ears perked up and throwing all caution to the four winds, she gathered her blankets about her and tip-toed to the wall. She settled herself on the wood floor, trying to get as comfortable as she could before pressing her ear against the thin wall.
"I want you to touch yourself for me," came the husky voice, deep and rich, much like the laugh and in her mind she pictured it as the same person. She slightly shivered as goose pimples spread across her arms at the sound of the utterly smooth and sexy words. She would kill to be with a man who had a bedroom voice like that. The woman that was with him was very lucky indeed.
Another low chuckle, "Don't look at me like that. I want to watch you as you make yourself cum," a pause, "touching yourself." Another pause and she pictured that he must be kissing her with each phrase. "While you think of me," he continued, "watching me, watching you."
An answering sigh of pleasure only meant that his lover was obeying him causing her to flush. She had never heard such pillow talk before, when her and Wulfgar where together all those years ago they had barely said two words to each other when they where rolling in the sheets.
"That's it, baby," the man once more filled the silence, "play like you do when I'm not with you."
A groan, musical and velvety drifted to her ears, a very beautiful sound, a very male-like that caused her eyes to snap open as wide as can be before she shook the thought from her head. The groan had to have come from Sexy Voice.
"Art... te... mis," came the moan again, broken and desperate.
"Yes," Sexy Voice replied, "just like that. Spread you legs. By the gods you're beautiful."
Cattie-Brie pulled her ear away from the wall and stared at it, her eyes threatening to pop from her head. It wasn't a man and a woman doing naughty things to each other in the next room, it was a man... with another man. Having sex. For the moans and groans that came in unison with the heated whispers left no doubt in her mind that it was indeed a male. And one of their names was Artemis.
And the only Artemis that she knew was Entreri. Surely not.
The rational part of her mind screamed at her not to take the chance and quickly pack her things and warn Drizzt that her neighbor just might be his most hated enemy. But the woman in her denied it and knew that there had to be others out there named 'Artemis' and it was perfectly harmless to listen just a little longer. Besides the sounds they were making had a certain tone to it that made her body flush with heat. She had no idea it was possible for two men to be with each other.
A cry of release made her bite her lip and lean closer to the wall, wanting to hear every word that was spoken between this Artemis and his unknown bedmate.
A soft sigh, then, "What are you doing?" the new voice was filled with sedated passion, if anything it was even better than Artemis'.
"Licking it off of you," came the answer, slightly amused, "You taste better than anything I have ever tasted before."
She heard a creak of wood and a rustle of cloth. That's when she realized that the bed was resting against the wall that she was pressing her ear to. Her hand shot up to her mouth, trying to muffle her gasp.
Another rustle, "What are you doing?" the question was repeated by the bedmate, and Cattie-Brie would throw Artemis' voice away to just listen to this one all day any day. She smiled and tried to picture Drizzt with such a wonderful bedroom voice.
"What does it look like?" was the answer and she could practically hear the smile on his voice.
"Don't" came the hesitant reply.
"Why not?" this time a frown.
"Because it's too soon," another sigh, "Just give me a minute."
A long pause and she imagined them staring at one another, she could feel the tension through the wall before the other man gave his answer.
"No," he stated and his lover screamed his name.
"Heavens above!" the unknown man moaned. She could hear him panting and thrashing on the bed. "Stop, stop, stop," he chanted, "too soon!" he groaned again, then his chants and pleas changed from desperate to desire, "Yes, oh by the gods! If you don't stop –" the statement was cut off by a frustrated hiss. "Entreri," his bedmate growled threatening.
There it was, solid proof that it really was Artemis Entreri on the other side of the wall, and from the sounds of it doing the most amazing things to his lover.
"The family name," the assassin teased, "Don't tell me you're upset with me? After all, it was you who told me to stop."
"Enough," was the breathless whisper of his lover followed by a sigh as Cattie-Brie heard the first groan of passion from the assassin, "By the gods, Artemis, you're so hard."
The woman flushed at the mental picture and tightened her hold on her blankets, suppressing the urge to shiver. For some reason just listening to the two men was hotter than anything she had done with Wulfgar in the past. Even the thought of one of them being her most hated enemy did nothing to ease her curiosity.
"I want your mouth on me," Entreri's husky voice came out as a choked sob. Butterflies danced in her stomach at the thought of what the other man was about to do to the assassin. She had done so to Wulfgar only once before, but took no pleasure in the act even though he seemed to rather enjoy in quite immensely. Another rustle of cloth then Entreri let out a hissed, "Yes!"
He groaned, low and husky before he started to pant and whisper. He was much quieter than his bedmate but the sounds he did make were no less arousing. A long sigh drifted up to the woman's ears, soon followed by a few short breaths.
"What is it?" asked the unknown man.
A slight chuckle, "Your mouth and tongue are too talented, I fear I am too close."
"So let me swallow you," puzzlement showed through the walls.
"No," came the very serious reply.
"Why?" his lover sounded even more confused.
"Because I want you inside of me," the whisper was so low that Cattie-Brie barely caught the words.
"What?" the other man gasped, "You've never... before... I've never... " he seemed like he was lost for words.
"Shh, baby," Entreri's voice held all the tenderness in the world, "I know you've never taken anyone before, but I want you to take me. I want to feel you inside of me."
"Artemis I don't –" his statement was cut off, the rest of his words muffled by a kiss.
After a short time later she heard the assassin's voice once more, "It's alright; I'll talk you through it."
More rustling and the sound of a draw opening the closing, the wood slightly creaking as if it was well used. A slight hiss made her grip her blanket about her.
"Are you ok?" the assassin's lover sounded concerned.
"Yes," Entreri's voice was forced, like it was too much for time to talk. "More," he demanded.
This hiss turned into a groan with was cut into a cry. "Right... there... " he panted. Then a slap of skin against skin, "Enough, I'm ready."
"Are you sure?" he lover once more asked. There was no verbal answer, only sounds that she could imagine what she wanted of them.
A strangled cry broke the silence, so distorted that she didn't know who it came from followed by a harsh groan.
"By the heavens, you're so tight," musical tones harshly whispered.
"Damn elf! Just move!" Entreri all but yelled right before the bed started to creek followed by hisses that broke into another strangled cry. "Right there, baby," the assassin's voice was husky and cracked.
The creaking of the bed grew louder and closer together, but above that was the sound of flesh hitting flesh and the amazing noises that came from Artemis' mouth. He cried, he moaned, then he did something Cattie-Brie thought he was incapable of doing. He started to beg. He begged his lover to go faster, to go harder and the clamor coming from the room, the other man was all too happy to oblige, causing the headboard to bang against the wall.
Soon both of them were moaning and groaning and making every carnal sound there was to make before crying out together and falling into silence.
That's when the woman noticed that she was breathing hard and sweating. She cursed herself, feeling like a fool and a pervert as she gathered herself together before quickly running back to her bed. She harshly pulled her blanket over her head and squeezed her eyes shut tightly, rolling over on her side, her back facing the wall to Entreri's room. She gripped her covers in tight fist, trying her damnedest to drown out the sounds from her memory.
The next morning she found herself in the common room, picking at her food and every once in a while sipping her water. Lost in her thoughts as she was she didn't notice she had a guest until the chair opposite of her was pulled out and a bare foot placed upon the table top. Her eyes snapped up from her plate of untouched food to stare at the man, taking in his appearance with a hot blush on her cheeks.
His dark hair was sleep mussed and his black silk shirt hung loosely from his shoulders, completely unbuttoned, showing the world his tightly compacted chest and torso. "Good morning, Cattie-Brie," he said, even though no smirk touched his face it rang clearly in his voice.
She nodded at him, noting, with much embarrassment, the love bite that could be clearly seen on his smooth neck. A few light scratches dotted on his right pectoral while the other sported another love mark. "Rough night?" she asked, once more looking down at her food.
That's when he smiled and adjusted in his seat, hooking one thumb in the waist band of his black britches and tugging them down slightly so she could see more marks and bites low on his hip. "You should know," he answered before standing up and walking to the bar. He grinned at her over his shoulder as he picked up to breakfast plates and walked up the steps with all the grace of a feline.
Artemis softly shut the door, knowing that the drow was most likely awake, but still not wanting to disturb him. He set the trays of food down on the small table and dropped his shirt before sliding under the covers behind his elfin love.
As he pressed himself against the length of the other's body he felt himself grow hard. Just the sight of the black skinned ranger made him hot and bothered. He wanted to lock him away and never let another soul ever touch him. He smiled as Drizzt let out a small purr and relaxed into the assassin's embrace, sighing as the human's skilled fingers danced upon his chest and played across his hip.
Artemis placed tender kisses on the ebony skin of his love's shoulders, lightly licking off the salty sweat that had dried upon his body from last night. Hearing no protests of lack of sleep from the elf, he quickly freed himself from the suede cloth that covered his hips and pulled himself out in record time. He reached for the vial of oil discarded near the pillows and coated his hand before rubbing the liquid onto his hardness with a stifled moan.
Drizzt pressed his bottom against him, as if he knew what Entreri was doing all along. Artemis sighed and reached around the drow's hip, more than eager to coax his elf into full hardness only to find the ranger more than ready. "You're already hard," he whispered in the beautiful creature's ear, taking time to lick his way down from the tip and taking the lobe between his lips.
Drizzt's only answer was a sigh as he lifted his leg and draped in over Artemis', his knee slightly bent. The assassin once more placed an open mouth kiss upon the ranger's shoulder before gripping his dark hip, slowly sliding his oil slicked length inside of the drow's body. His eyes rolled shut and he fought the urge to cry or pass out, from the sensations of the other's inner walls gripping him, he didn't know which to do. No matter how many times he had taken the elf in the past he was always so incredibly tight and felt so amazingly heavenly. Artemis knew that the beautiful drow had ruined him for any other bedmate.
Only once before had he taken someone else to his bed after he had first lain with the elf. The end results were tragically embarrassing. The assassin was forced to take his release from his own hand with images of violet eyes and black skin playing across his mind. Now the only one he shared his body with was the elf, the thought of another touching him made his skin crawl and the picture of another touching Drizzt made his blood boil in rage
And Drizzt needed to know, without a doubt, who he belonged to.
"You are mine, Do'Urden," he hissed when he was finally sheathed completely inside of the drow.
The only answer he got was a long contented purr.
Artemis almost entirely pulled himself out before slowly thrusting back in once more, "Say it!"
Drizzt moaned and arched his back.
The assassin's fingers gripped onto his hip hard enough to leave marks upon the darkness of his skin, "No one else can have you. No one else can touch you. Say it, damn you," he harshly whispered, he voice never wavering as he began to move. He reached around the elf's body, taking his weeping sex into a sword callused hand, gripping it with the times of his thrusts.
"I'm yours," Drizzt gasped in utter rapture. "No one can have me but you," he continued, moaning as Artemis hit his sweet spot again and again, his hand running up and down his length. "No one can touch me but you," his back arched in desire, "Artemis."
Drizzt's orgasm caught him by surprise; he came hard and fast, covering the assassin's hand with his release. He heard Artemis let out scream that was muffled in between his shoulders as the human emptied himself into his elf. He quickly reached a hand back to grip the human's backside, pulling him in close to keep the softening erection inside of him. "Don't move," he whispered, "I still want to feel you in me." Then the drow chuckled, "Couldn't you have gotten out of your pants?"
Artemis tasted the delicious skin of Drizzt's neck. "No," he whispered back, his voice holding just a tint of tenderness, "I wanted you too much."
The afternoon found Drizzt and Cattie-Brie back on the road. Her drow friend was strangely quiet, as if he was lost in his own thoughts and moving much slower than normal.
"Are ye ok, me friend?" she asked, slightly concerned over his behavior.
He blinked and regarded her, "Yes, just a little sore."
She gave him a curious look, "You were locked in ye room all morning. What were ye doin'?"
He gave her a shrug, not wanting to admit that he was indeed not locked in his room, but someone else's, "Just honing my skills. I fear that I worked to hard," he offered her a smile. He hated lying to her, yet she would never understand the reason why he was so uncomfortable with walking was because he was not yet used to having his legs closed after them being spread for so long.
How many times had they lain together since last night? The Goddess knows that he didn't. The thought brought a smile to his face and a familiar ache to his lower stomach. Despite his aches and pains he only wished that he could turn back to the inn and have one last roll around in the sheets with the assassin. Never mind that they already had their good-bye fun around an hour ago, he still wanted more.
A/N: This is shit. Sorry. This one is for those Romantic Types, because they're human too. ;P

Reflection for March 20, 2015: Between the Real and the unrealPosted by GraalBaum under mysticism | Tags: Cathedral, Christian, esoteric, islamic architecture, mosque |
Leave a Comment
"Yet here you are not to fall. into the clumsy error of supposing that the things which are beyond the grasp of reason are necessarily unreasonable things. Immediate feeling, so far as it is true, does not oppose but transcends and completes the highest results of thought. It contains within itself the sum of all the processes through which thought would pass in the act of attaining the same goal: supposing thought to have reached–as it has not–the high pitch at which it was capable of thinking its way all along this road."
Evelyn Underhill
The Principle is Reality in contrast to all that appears as real but which is not reality in the ultimate sense. The Principle is the Absolute compared to which all is relative. It is Infinite while all else is finite. The Principle is One and Unique while manifestation is multiplicity. It is the Supreme Substance compared to which all else is accident. It is the Essence to which all things are juxtaposed as form. It is at once Beyond Being and Being while the order of multiplicity is comprised of existents. It alone is while all else becomes, for It alone is eternal in the ultimate sense while all that is externalized partakes of change. It is the Origin but also the End, the alpha and the omega. It is Emptiness if the world is envisaged as fullness and Fullness if the relative is perceived in the light of its ontological poverty and essential nothingness. 7 These are all manners of speaking of the Ultimate Reality which can be known but not by man as such. It can only be known through the sun of the Divine Self residing at the center of the human soul. But all these ways of describing or referring to the Principle possess meaning and are efficacious as points of reference and support for that knowledge of the Real that in its realized aspect always terminates in the Ineffable and in that silence which is the "reflection"or "shadow"of the non-manifested aspect of the Principle upon the plane of manifestation. From that unitary point of view, the Principle or the Source is seen as not only the Inward but also the Outward, 8 not only the One but also the essential reality of the many which is but the reflection of the One. At the top of that mountain of unitive knowledge there resides but the One; discrimination between the Real and the unreal terminates in the awareness of the non-dual nature of the Real, the awareness which is the heart of gnosis and which represents not human knowledge but God's knowledge of Himself, the consciousness which is the goal of the path of knowledge and the essence of scientia sacra. 9
— Seyyed Hossein Nasr (SCIENTIA SACRA)
9 This is the view of the Advaita Vedanta in Hinduism and of the transcendent Unity of Being (waḥdat al-wujūd) in Sufism which, because of the myopia of a reason divorced from the sanctifying rays of the Intellect, have been often mistaken for pantheism. See Nasr, Three Muslim Sages (Cambridge, Mass., 1964), pp. 104-108; also Titus Burckhardt, Introduction to Sufi Doctrine (London, 1976), pp. 28-30.

So they rode till they came to a lake that was a fair water and broad.
And in the middle Arthur was aware of an arm clothed in white
samite. that held a fair sword in that hand.
"Lo." Said Merlin. "yonder is the sword that I spoke of
So with that they saw a damsel going upon the Lake.
"What damsel is that?" said Arthur
"That is the Lady of the Lake " said Merlin.
"There is a great rock, and therein is as fair as a palace as any on earth, and richly beseen.
And this damsel will come to you anon, and then speak ye fair to her, that she may give you that sword."
So anon came this damsel to Arthur and saluted him, and he her again.
"Damsel" said Arthur, "What sword is that yonder that the arm holdeth above the water?
I would were it mine, for I have no sword."
"Sir Arthur." said the damsel, "that sword is mine, and if you will give me a gift
when I ask it of you , ye shall have it."
"By my faith," said Arthur, "I will give you what gift ye will ask."

Reflection for March 11, 2015: The Umm at the heart of it all.Posted by GraalBaum under mysticism | Tags: divine feminine, Ibn Arabi, islam, mother, Mysticism, sufi |
1 Comment
This pre-eminence of the Creative Feminine as epiphany of divine Beauty was expressed in admirable paradoxes she was apprehended on the metaphysical plane of eternal birth and on the plane of second birth, the birth which by modeling the mystic's being on this preeminent Image, causes the supreme secret of spiritual life to flower within him. Sometimes Ibn 'Arabi seizes upon simple lexicographical or grammatical facts, which for him are not inoffensive matters of language but disclose a higher metaphysical reality, and treats them with the methods of a highly personal philology, which may well baffle a philologist but are eminently suited to the detection of symbols.
In a hadith of the prophet, he notes a grave breach of grammatical convention: in disregard of a fundamental rule of agreement the feminine outweighs the masculine in the sentence. This is the point of departure for remarks which were to be amplified by the commentators. Ibn 'Arabi points out that in Arabic all terms indicating origin and cause are feminine. Thus we may assume that if the sentence attributed to the Prophet is grammatically incorrect, it is because the Prophet wished to suggest that the Feminine is the origin of all things. And indeed the origin or source of anything is designated in Arabic by the word umm, "mother." This is the most striking case in which a lexicographical fact discloses a higher metaphysical reality.

Uniterian Universalism, the supposed place of the open mjnd. I believe in the principles of UUism… Sadly not sure our local church does. After incident after incident and a concensus that not only do we face prejudice there, neither of us are learning…..anything. The church's mantra of "we are doing better than we were ten years ago" is no longer cutting it. I really don't want to wait another five years in a church where its unacceptable to have beliefs..or more accurately to mention them.
Am I done with UUism? Maybe. Done with our church? Probably.
However I think it is dishonest to blindly continue in an environment of hostility or one which correctly or incorrectly I find puerile.
Having being given hostility by voicing a contrary position… I post the following words:
Despite the insistence of uninformed (largely online) Humanists there are holes in the "theory of evolution". As this extract discusses. But the how dare someone have a different idea…amongst supposed….and I do mean supposed free thinkers.
#hypocrisy #closedminds #horsetheyrodeinon
"This exposition shows that the theory of evolution is impossible. In reality, despite appearances, no one any longer believes in it. . . . Evolution is a sort of dogma whose priests no longer believe in it, though they uphold it for the sake of their flock."Though undeniably exaggerated in its manner of expression—that is, as regards its sweeping implications of hypocrisy on the part of the "priests"in question—this judgment, coming where it does, is significant in more than one respect. There is no doubt that many scientists have transferred their religious instincts from religion to evolutionism, with the result that their attitude towards evolution is sectarian rather than scientific.
The French biologist Professor Louis
Bounoure quotes Yves Delage, a former Sorbonne Professor of Zoology: "I readily admit that no species has ever been known to engender another, and that there is no absolutely definite evi dence that such a thing has ever taken place. None the less, I believe evolution to be just as certain as if it had been object ively proved."
Bounoure comments: "In short, what science asks of us here is an act of faith, and it is in fact under the guise of a sort of revealed truth that the idea of evolution is generally put forward." He quotes, however, from a present day Sorbonne Professor of Palaeontology, Jean Piveteau, the admission that the science of facts as regards evolution "cannot accept any of the different theories which seek to explain evolution. It even finds itself in opposition with each one of these theories. There is something here which is both disappointing and disquieting."
Darwin's theory owed its success mainly to a widespread conviction that the nineteenth-century European represented the highest human possibility yet reached. This conviction was like a special receptacle made in advance for the theory of man's sub-human ancestry, a theory which was hailed without question by humanists as a scientific corroboration of their belief in "progress."It was in vain that a staunch minority of scientists, during the last hundred years, persistently maintained that the theory of evolution has no scientific basis and that it runs contrary to many known facts, and it was in vain that they pleaded for a more rigorously scientific attitude towards the whole question. To criticize evolutionism, however soundly, was about as effective as trying to stem a tidal wave. But the wave now shows some signs of having spent itself, and more and more scientists are re-examining this theory objectively, with the result that not a few of those who were once evolu tionists have now rejected it altogether. One of these is the already quoted Bounoure; another, Douglas Dewar, writes: "It is high time that biologists and geologists came into line with astronomers, physicists, and chemists and admitted that the world and the universe are utterly mysterious and all attempts to explain them [by scientific research] have been baffled"; and having divided evolutionists into ten main groups (with some subdivisions) according to their various opinions as to what animal formed the last link in the chain of man's supposedly "pre-human"ancestry, opinions which are all purely conjectural5 and mutually contradictory, he says: "In 1921 Reinke wrote: 'The only statement, consistent with her dignity, that science can make [with regard to this question] is to say that she knows nothing about the origin of man.'Today this statement is as true as it was when Reinke made it."

Product description
Eagerly anticipated by her legions of fans, this sixth novel in Diana Gabaldon s bestselling Outlander saga is a masterpiece of historical fiction from one of the most popular authors of our time. Since the initial publication of Outlander fifteen years ago, Diana Gabaldon s "New York Times" bestselling saga has won the hearts of readers the world over and sold more than twelve million books. Now, A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest. With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the result will be independence with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from "The Wilmington Gazette," dated 1776, which reports Jamie s death, along with his kin. For once, he hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the future. "From the Hardcover edition.""

Bobbi Kristina Brown Involved in Serious Car Crash
It's been a rough year for Bobbi Kristina Brown, and it's not any easier today. The daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston crashed her car, and it was a terrifying ordeal.
It's been a rough year for Bobbi Kristina Brown, and it's not any easier today. The daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston crashed her car, and it was a terrifying ordeal.
Hide your kids, hide your wife, Bobby Brown is on the road.
Every little step the former New Edition singer takes seems to land him in a jail cell -- this time for his second DUI of the year, and his third overall.
After months of speculation, it appears that Whitney Houston's 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown is engaged to Nick Gordon, who is often referred to as Whitney's godson.
Tragic Hollywood deaths have been the stuff of legend since the day cameras started rolling. But what happens when an actor dies while a film is still in production? Does the studio shut down or carry on? Turns out the answer to that is a nebulous "it depends
Whitney Houstons's daughter Bobbi Kristina is back in the news again, this time for a car accident. Bobbi Kris, who often ends up in media reports for negative things, was involved in a vehicular wreck in Georgia, which resulted in a demolished front of the car. The ride, a 2012 black Camaro, belongs to her boyfriend Nick Gordon.
Before she passed, Whitney Houston recorded a duet with R. Kelly called 'I Look to You,' which has just been released.
It was announced a month ago that Mariah Carey would become a judge on 'American Idol' for its upcoming season, filling one of the seats left vacant by former judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. People may still be recovering from the shock of the announcement, but 'Idol' winner Jordin Sparks thinks Carey will be a great fit.
- Rest easy everyone! Justin Timberlake and fiancee Jessica Biel did not (we repeat, DID NOT) get married over the weekend. Reports were circulating that the two wed in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The only problem? JT was busy filming his upcoming movie 'Runner Runner,' in Puerto Rico. That's about 3,000 miles away, if you were keeping track.
That's one hot body!
Former 'American Idol' winner, 'Sparkle' star, and Jason Derulo's lady love Jordin Sparks shows off her banging body in a royal purple bikini on the cover of Shape magazine.
The track listing for the Jordin Sparks' and Whitney Houston's highly anticipated new movie 'Sparkle' has been released.

Hi Dave,
I'll be shooting with a Bronica SQb (Rolleiflex T as backup), so neither of these offers the correct exposure indication.
Thanks for the offer of help, but all things considered I'll stick with kiss (Keep it simple, stupid!) I'll have enough to contend with without a multi flash set up to worry about. Having said that, if it's not a lot of hassle for you I'd be interested in learning what multi flash setups you've used. It could well come in usefull in the future.
Thanks again

CBS on Wednesday announced the renewal of a staggering 18 prime-time series for next season, making the annual May announcement of its fall schedule almost moot and sending a message of stability.
Fans of television's top-rated network won't have to worry about whether old favorites such as "NCIS," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Survivor" are coming back in the fall.
The Monday comedy lineup of "How I Met Your Mother," "2 Broke Girls" and "Mike & Molly" will return intact, and CBS said it is negotiating to bring the Ashton Kutcher-led "Two and a Half Men" back. Thursday's "The Big Bang Theory" also will return, CBS said.
"This large-scale renewal is testimony to the strength, stability and success of a deep and diverse roster of top-rated programming," said Nina Tassler, CBS entertainment president.
A handful of series did not get renewals, immediately putting them on the bubble for return. These include the New York and Miami spinoffs of "CSI," the new dramas "Unforgettable" and "A Gifted Man," the sixth-season comedy "Rules of Engagement" and the new comedy "Rob."
This doesn't necessarily mean those series will be canceled. They'll likely compete with potential new series for spots in the lineup.
Wednesday's announcement sends a clear message to producers of new series being considered by CBS: Raise your game because competition for space is fierce, said Brad Adgate, an analyst for Horizon Media.
The CBS announcement also is aimed at advertisers who will be making decisions this spring about where to spend billions of dollars to hawk their wares.
"When you're the top network and have been the top network for seven or eight seasons, you can do this," Mr. Adgate said.
CBS probably could put the same lineup on next fall and do well but doesn't want to run the risk of getting stale, he said.
Besides "NCIS," CBS already has committed to bringing back its Los Angeles spinoff. Other dramas that will return are "Hawaii Five-0," "Criminal Minds," "Person of Interest," "The Mentalist," "Blue Bloods" and "The Good Wife."
"The Amazing Race" and "Undercover Boss" will join "Survivor" as CBS reality shows to return. The newsmagazines "60 Minutes" and "48 Hours Mystery" also will be back.
HBO cancels 'Luck,' will air final episodes
The horse racing series "Luck" was canceled by HBO after a third thoroughbred died during production of the drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, the channel said Wednesday.
"Luck," about the seedier side of racing, will air the final two episodes of its first season now in progress, HBO said. But the series won't return for the second season that began production last month, it said.
