Yeah, I actually do like of Monsters and Men! Good music.
Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
Yeah, I actually do like of Monsters and Men! Good music.
Does anyone know these guys?
Monsters and Men.. What kind of genre do they play?
@ Beredras: I don't know, but I'll check the link to see what it is. :)
Now, back to business.
I've decided to put some of my planned musical projects to ice for a while. I've no interest to continue them at this point, but maybe later I will. I'm mainly talking about tow/oerath windsoul rock/heavy metal project.
For seven years, I've had plans about starting a band that would only focus on covering various game soundtracks/songs by using basic instruments: drums, guitar, bass and keyboard as an extra, if needed.
A friend of mine recently accepted my offer that we'd start to work on these songs, once he gets his guitars set up and I get to buy us a bass and amp to run it.
He'll do guitars and bass, I'll do the drums and first, we'll use Zoom to record these songs. Later, if these songs spark interest, we'll try to recruit a third member to play bass etc; and try to get some songs properly recorded for some kind of release (maybe on internet mainly).
We've no name yet, but I guess one will be figured out at some point. Like I had planned, there'll be something new out due to next year and it's first months. This is not what I originally planned, but damn I'm excited about this project.
I'll throw you links of a few confirmed songs, so you'll get to know what kind of songs we're about to cover in future.
Zero Wing OST - Stage 2 - Legrous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leHyfjTtypk
Killer Instinct Arcade - Theme Song/Title Track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4EOwbV2KlM
Dark Cloud OST - Departure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxocyVr4-VM
That's all for now. :)
More information coming in January, 2013.
Balrogs, I didn't want to post any links to 'Music suddenly got good again', so I'll instead post my reply unto this thread of mine.
I hope you'll catch it.
It's true that US has a lot to offer in terms of trash and death metal etc; but like you said, most good metal bands hail from overseas, from Europe and so forth.
If I'd have to name some countries, I'd definitely name Finland, Sweden and Austria (For the sole existence of Summoning).
By the way, since we're talking about metal here and it's always fun to advertise some little things, I'm currently a singer in one metal band.
But my goal for this year is to get myself back into singing and that means I've to find some band activity for myself. Two bands would be fine for the time being, but this time, I want to find a band that focuses solely on creating black metal. Fascinating genre all in all.
Here's a link to Mikseri (which is a finnish site), so I hope it works for you.
If not, head out to our MySpace and type 'Agarwaen'. Songs of our first demo should be found from youtube in days to come though.
I dig it Oerath! Love the name too.
I definitely agree Finland and Sweden, but I'd say Germany over Austria if I had to pick three. Though that concerns mostly black and death metal. I love thrash because I love mosh pits, and for whatever reason thrash just hasn't really picked up in Europe. It's pretty big in the Middle East though, I think in large part because it's so "rebellious." Similar to the rise of punk in the late 70s. Thrash/punk is also surprisingly big in Russia, probably for the same reasons.
The main reason I listen to metal though is for the drummers. Nothing gets me going more than a series of blast beats with a powerful guitar line. I've come to accept screaming, but honestly I listen to the music when I listen to metal. A good example is Between the Buried and Me's Alaska album. The regular album is mediocre at best, but the instrumental version kicks so much ass!! Blotted Science is another one of my favorite metal bands. Completely instrumental, just pure talent.
But I LOOOOVE folk metal. I would give anything for Equilibrium to come tour in the states. I really don't like new Eluveitie and they're like.....the only folk "death" metal band to come here, love the old stuff but now it's too much orchestral singing. Like Therion, could never get into them. Love the music but way to much gregorian chanting. Not saying it can't be done, but it CAN be overdone. We do get some of the pirate metal bands, so those are always fun, but I'd love to see Profugus Mortis.
Atlanta, the city where I live, has an AMAZING local metal scene. One of the best I've found in the country actually. We have death metal to rival some of the best in Europe imo. Unfortunately it's near impossible to get recognized as a death metal band over here. But really we have an awesome music scene overall where I live...
One of my all time favorite groups is Russian Circles. They're kind of like classical infused with "technical doom" metal. I'd suggest listening to the song Station or 309 to get a good idea of what I mean. Most of their stuff sounds different, but they all have a clear metal influence. Composition and dynamic wise especially. The drummer is an amazing drummer too. Not necessarily for technicality (though he can play hella fast), but he's one of those drummers you have to BE a drummer to appreciate. It's the little things that he pulls off, you can tell he probably grew up playing a combination of funk and classical rock. Watch him in one of their Youtube videos and you'll probably see what I mean :D
Ok I'll leave it at that.
Woah, lots of text to devour. :D
It's getting late, so I don't have time to answer to the post as a whole, but I'll try my best.
So, I'm glad ya liked of our music. That song was off our only demo so far, 2010's 'The Six Deadly Creatures'.
The name.. Agarwaen isn't a bad name and I've read enough to know that Túrin used it partially as his name in Narn I Chin Húrin.
Now something about metal.
First off, I gotta say that I'm a very big fan of Therion. ^^
Classical music itself doesn't interest that much, but I enjoy watching opera shows every now and then from youtube and I've seen one live so far.
But symphonic metal, oh man, in terms of epicness, there's nothing better than well executed symphonic metal with massive orchestral features and strong classical singing.
Oh, Atlanta. I don't know any bands from over there, so you've to enlighten me about that. :)
By the way, the reason I named Austria, is Summoning. (Which I may've told already..)
The band has some balls, if one listen to their music was enough to make me a hardcore fan, which happened like 7-8 years ago. They're my #1 band and that won't change ever.
Also, Austria is known for black metal and stuff, most of those bands being UG.
By the way, considering our band's music, I can assure you that our next demo will be a blast.
I've improved my sound and general selection of vocals a lot during the past years, and these days, when I drive my car, sing along to some song and record it with my poor phone, the vocals are almost suitable for proper recording.
Black metal is my only true genre, but I can change my singing voice in many ways and thus, I've a wide range of different vocals and styles to go on with.
Of course, being a self-trained vocalist has it's bad sides. I don't think I can truly harbor to master that many vocal styles without proper training.
When I've recorded my version of 'Beautiful Death' by Wintersun, you'll get to hear what my vocals sound like these days.
That's it for now. So, until the next time, Balrogs.
Hail and Kill!
And oh, I'm a drummer too, but I'm not that good, having practised little and I've played roughly for, um.. 8+ years, of which many years have been without evolving.
But I love drumming and I always focus partially on drums, when I listen to music.
My favorite drummer is Kai Hahto from Wintersun. I recommend you to check him out.
Also, give 'Beautiful Death' a shot. Killer drumming right there.
Oh, almost forgot..

Hi. My name is Elena and Arwen told me about this thread.
I'm a soprano singer and have done 2 LOTR/Hobbit videos out of about 30 total. I shared one in another thread but I thought I would share it here along with my latest upload of Ave Maria. I hope you like them.
The first one is my Hobbit video
The second is my Ave Maria video
Hello there, Elena. You've come to the right place.
I'm Oerath Windsoul and I manage this thread.
Considering your videos/uploads: if you've more stuff that you would like to share with us, feel free to share them on this thread.
This thread is a link free thread, as long as the links contain music, singing etc.
And oh, I watched both of your videos and I must say that I too like of your voice and considering your age, I think you've some real potential to become a successful singer/artist. I'm a singer too, but currently, all the material that I've to present, is the first demo of our band. It's black metal oriented music, so I doubt you'd even like of it. :)
Anyway, that's pretty much it.
And oh, in case you missed my greetings on your own thread, here I go.
Welcome to Planet Tolkien.
PS. Both of your links led to your Hobbit Movie Soundtrack video, so I fixed the links. I hope you don't mind that I fixed 'em.
Thank you for fixing the link Oerath. I had quite a time trying to get it right. I will be sure to post my other singing videos here. I have two more where I am dressed as an Elf in them. One as a Elven Warrior dressed in black leather from head to foot. That look might work with your Black Metal. LOL. I could have fit on stage with Vesania. A picture of that outfit is in the bottom right of my YT channel, MissElenaHouse. :)
I just listened to your Agarwaen link. There is a zombie theme there. I'm good friends with the Sonya Thompson, main Zombie for "The Walking Dead". We have done some acting together. She is even in some of my music videos. Once as a teacher and another as an Elf:)
Thanks for the welcome.

The CFTC has given a number to call for the CTI scam as 866-720-9071. But no one has called me from there. A CFTC agent, Michael McLaughlin, called me, but that was in response to an email I sent them; and McLaughlin only left a message on my phone, and hasn't responded to my further phone calls. The CFTC complaint was supposedly filed on 5-25-12.
Just yesterday, my refund request letter, which had previously been signed for at their Newport, CA address, came back to me as undeliverable with the adress completely obliterated by black marker. Since, I have in my file the signed "return receipt" from the USPS dated 5-10-12, I conclude that they are coupling mail fraud with their original scam. My next stop is at the USPS, as I understand they take mail fraud very seriously.

We have multiple credit cards that combined have a balance of probably $7,000-8,000 but I haven't paid on them in about a year due to prioritizing the house and cars. I think I covered our necessary expenses here. We are barely getting by but cannot catch up any because we have so little left over at the end of the month. We currently owe Oct, Nov, Dec on the house and both cars. We are able to make enough of a payment to keep the house out of foreclosure and keep the cars from being repo'd but it's really hard knowing all the debt hanging over my head. My husband works for a lawn care company so he is laid off for winter but will be back working in April. Once he is working again, his pay will increase by at least $400-600 a month which will help.
Big question is: do you all think we should try to file for bankruptcy or try to keep doing what we are doing?

The Charedim are not as uniform as we think
Anti high-tech demos in Israel are more about politics than religion
Last Saturday, for the fifth week in a row, there was a Charedi protest outside Intel in Jerusalem — a show of fury against the computer-chip giant for keeping the plant running on Shabbat.
But Israelis' interest in the protests seems to have declined. Demonstrators braving the cold to make their point have dwindled in number from 1,000-plus to around 200. Yet, if the issue is so fundamental --- multinational computer corporation under pressure to observe biblical law --- why has the campaign flagged?
This is a question that highlights an important social issue: the perception of the Charedim in Israel by the non-Charedi majority, a perception that is largely paralleled throughout the diaspora.
When hundreds and hundreds of black-hatted folk were descending upon Intel, some of them getting arrested, it was a immensely colourful story that reinforced the lofty exasperation of non-Charedi Israelis towards Charedim at large.
Here were the forces of traditionalism, Charedim, trying to hold back the forces of progress, represented by Intel. As "mainstream" Israel becomes more forward-looking, day by day this apparently monolithic entity, "the Charedim", looks ever more backward and reactionary. But, as the initial, rowdy protests have become transformed into a smaller, calmer phenomenon, such a summary of Israeli society is demonstrably simplistic.
Even at their height, the Intel protests were small fry
While it makes a good story to view the protests as showing that Charedim are increasingly aggressive in their demands over the religious character of Jerusalem, it is untrue.
Even at their height, the Intel protests were small fry compared the battles of the past, including one row over a mixed-sex swimming pool in the 1950s when, according to popular mythology, Jerusalem had only a handful of — much more moderate — Charedi residents.
More importantly, the Intel protests reveal a situation that is the opposite of the conventional wisdom. They are organised by the ultra hard-line Eida Charedit, which is constantly at odds with the mainstream Charedi leadership, who are trying to force into a generally harder stance. The dynamics of the Charedi community are such that mainstream leaders cannot endorse Sabbath transgression, so cannot openly undermine the Eida, They can, however, sidestep a particular battle, which is what they have done here, hence the falling numbers.
And why did the Eida choose to wage war on Intel? Because its wrath is really directed against the mainstream leadership. Outside of Eida circles, many Charedim are becoming more outward-looking when it comes to vocational education and entering the job market. For Eida, high-tech firms are the symbol of this trend, as they employ thousands of Charedi women. Properly understood, the anti-Intel protests represent a symbolic resistance by a small group of Charedim to modernising tendencies in the more mainstream community.
It is true that Charedim in Israel continue to press for a more hard-line interpretation of religious law, but this is in part a reaction against the sweeping assumptions that continue to prevail within the majority of the population towards Charedim and our widespread failure to understand the nuances of Charedi life.

Skip to comments.Protestant Churches Disappearing; More Catholics Than Total of All 19 Prot. Denominations Listed
Posted on 03/30/2006 9:45:17 PM PST by dangus
The National Council of Churches' have just reported church membership for the 2006 yearbook. It's quite an interesting picture:
The Catholic Church is the largest and numerically fastest growing church in America, with 67.8 million members, a growth of about 563,000 members.
Many non-denominational churches, not listed in the report, have been growing rapidly in the recent past.
Proportionally, the fastest growing church in America is the Assemblies of God, (10th largest) growing at a 1.81% rate, by adding 50,000 members. That's over twice the growth rate of the Catholic church, but 1/10th of the increase in members of the Catholic Church, because the Assemblies of God is only 4% of the size of the Catholic Church, having 2.78 million members
The Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints, (4th largest) with nearly twice (6.0 million) members of the Assemblies of God had nearly the same growth rate, 1.74%.
Looking quickly, one might mistakenly think the Orthodox Church in America (24th largest) is growing amazingly quickly. The Council reports 6.4% more members than it reported last year, but this is the first update in many years. Previously, the Orthodox Church in America had reported simply the same rough estimate year after year: 1 million.
Meanwhile, the Council reported the Greek Orthodox Church (17th largest) as having 1.5 million members; the church doesn't report annually, but just a few years ago, it had nearly 2 million members. Of course, that report itself was quite old, so the decline isn't that amazingly fast. Still, unless there is rapid, unforeseen growth in the smaller Orthodox congregations, it means that overall, the Orthodox Church is likely declining, and what few Orthodox are remaining are switching to the more generic Orthodox church.
Many of the Protestant churches in decline are probably no surprise: United Methodist, 3rd largest, down 0.79% to 8.186 million; Evangelical Lutheran, 7th largest, down 1.09% to 4.93 million; Presbyterian Church (USA), 9th largest, down 1.6% to 3.19 million; Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, 14th, down 1.01% to 2.464 million; Episcopal, 15th, down 1.55% to 2.28 million*; American Baptist, down 0.57% to 1.433 million; and, with the fastest collapse of them all, the United Church of Christ, which has made a strong push to present itself as gay-friendly, dropped 2.48% to only 1.266 million.
What may be surprisin are some of the other denominations in decline. Southern Baptists (2nd) are down again, 1.05% to 16.3 million; and Jehovah's Witnesses, (25th) which were growing just last year, dropped a significant 1.07% to 1.03 million.
Five Baptist conventions, mostly black, (ranked 6th, 12th, 13th, 20th, and 22nd) report very old, and very suspect numbers. Totalled, they would be well over 16 million, but they are believed to actually have far, far fewer members, clinging for political purposes to very old, very rough estimates.
Amazingly, not one of the 25 largest denominations in America was a growing Protestant denomination, except for the Assemblies of God which are not always counted as Protestant.
Combined, the 13 reporting churches had a total membership of 118.7 million. The memberships claimed most recently by the 12 churches that did not issue new reports a combined membership of about 30 million, but is probably closer to 20 million. Even with the very possibly significantly exaggerated estimates of these churches included, however, there are now more members in America of the Catholic Church than in all of the 19 Protestant denominations in the top 25 denominations combined!
[*The National Council of Churches reports 2,463,747 members of the Episcopal Church. This is, however, exactly the same number of members reported by the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, the next largest church, and it creates a data conflict with last years' numbers. The number used last years' numbers as a baseline, and subtracted this years' reported decline. Also, the Episcopal church is not counted among the 17 Protestant denominations, following the practice of the National Council of Churches, the Encyclopedia Britannica, the World Almanac, and many other references.]

I think that is part of the reason Catholicism is looking strong, that's why I mentioned it. People coming back to God generally are looking for clear guidance, not the "I'm OK You're OK" philosophy that too many allegedly religious institutions have adopted.
My mistake, I thought you wanted to talk about another subject. Please forgive me.
"Actually, as a percentage of the population your growing the fastest.
Yeah, but the non-religious don't make up any sort of voting bloc. They're all over the map, politically, so there's no way to manipulate them as a bloc.
I have to keep in mind that this data is from a fairly large poll, not from any actual membership stats. It's a large sample, though, so I suspect that its numbers are fairly close.
What I do? What I do? :^D
I neither posted, endorsed, or criticized that comment!
No forgiveness necessary, reviewing my original comment I can see how it can be misconstrued in good faith.
pun intended =)
The numbers of non-religious are exploding, but you'd have to really hate religion to be a happy conservative about that... We're not talking about people finding a system for maintaining and fulfilling a non-religion-dependent system of ethics. Mostly, we're talking about people who couldn't be bothered to think about right and wrong, and resent the people who do. I'd think for a non-religious conservative to cheer that would be like the religious right being happy about an explosion of goddess-worshiping, gay-friendly, Democrat-fundraising churches.
This can't be right.
Alternate answer:
I'm not sure. Have you registered with your absence-of-a-church? :^D Just teasing.
Dear John 6.66=Mark of the Beast?,
I don't think that the Charismatic Renewal, as it occurred within the Catholic Church, led to much defection of Catholics from the Church. What I saw during ten years of active participation (going back 30 years, now) was that it revitalized many parishes, and revitalized the personal Christianity (although not always the personal Catholicism) of many individuals.
By the early 1980s, a lot of the excesses of the movement had worked themselves out, and in many cases, Charismatic groups sought ever more orthodox expressions of Catholicism. The Holy Spirit used the Renewal to take many lukewarm Catholics, many Catholics with little knowledge or understanding of their faith, to draw them back to the Church as their Teacher and Guide.
Certainly, some Catholics left the Church via the Renewal, but this often happened for reasons unrelated to the Renewal itself (divorce and remarriage, and mixed marriages being two principal reasons).
As well, there were certainly some Charismatic communities where the wheels just about flew off the wagon. There was one community in the Washington, DC area that turned into quite a mess.
However, because the Catholic Church officially embraced the Renewal (tentatively, at first, and then more enthusiastically under Pope John Paul II), the Church was able to exert a little disciplinary pressure that helped guide the main part of the movement in an orthodox direction. As well, that embrace helped minimize defection from the Church because of participation in the Renewal. The Church did not ever take the position that one could be a good Charismatic, or a good Catholic, but not both. Just the opposite.
>> The fastest growing group I'm told. <<
I'm not so sure of that at all... Other than being infinitely more effective at reaching out to non-religious immigrants, I can't think of why "nondoms" would do particularly well.
I mean, the thought of rejecting a church hierarchy is hardly anything new. But the Baptist churches seem to have really, really, really taken a bad hit. SBC isn't doing so bad, but some of the other Baptist conventions are rapidly disappearing.
More conservative branches of long-standing groups haven't done particularly well (Missouri Synod, Southern Baptist, Southern Methodist). And while "megachurches" continues to be a growing format for worship, it's not so much that existing megachurches are growing, as that new ones are popping up. Is that growth? Or just consolidation? What really may give some insight into the success of non-doms are smaller churches that aren't non-doms, but have rejected their denomination's hierarchy, like the Presbyterian Church of America. (And groups currently experiencing a crisis in the parent church, like the Anglicans' AIC, probably aren't too reliable of a measure either, although I would be thrilled to hear that the total membership of the AIC is throuugh the roof!)
That you for this enlightening history lesson.
"We're not talking about people finding a system for maintaining and fulfilling a non-religion-dependent system of ethics. Mostly, we're talking about people who couldn't be bothered to think about right and wrong, and resent the people who do. I'd think for a non-religious conservative to cheer that would be like the religious right being happy about an explosion of goddess-worshiping, gay-friendly, Democrat-fundraising churches.
You make two mistakes here, I think. First, I'm not particularly cheering the growth of the non-religious population. It doesn't really matter all that much to me, since I'm not part of any non-religious groups.
Second, it's really impossible to characterize the non-religious, since they don't fit any particular model. As you can see here on FR, there are non-religious conservatives. In fact, in my lifetime, I've met non-religious folks of pretty much every political stance.
Non-religious merely means that the persons doesn't profess any particular religious beliefs. Even people who are simple deists might self-identify as non-religious.
It's a mistake to assume that non-religious people do not have a highly-developed ethical and moral foundation. You'd probably not be able to detect any difference in the ethics and morals of non-religious people in general from the population which espouses some religious belief.
>> I don't think membership numbers are an accurate portrayal of actual Catholics. In my experience with people I am not related to, most people are baptized Catholics for cultural or practical reasons, not religious ones. <<
Yes, but while Gallup might consider such people Catholics, the dioceses do not.
>> the self proclaimed Catholic people I've worked with, or live among in my neighborhood, will have their children baptized so they can get into the parish school, or because their parents are Catholic and it is just something one does when one has a baby. <<
The good news, supposedly from the 1980s, was that such Catholics do come back to truly living the faith. But I've seen data that sharply refutes the notion that that is currently happening.
>> I think Jewish people also have a cultural component to their self proclaimed religious affiliation, but you rarely hear that one is a Methodist or Lutheran for cultural reasons. <<
You picked at least one poor group for an example. Lutherans and Anglicans are even more culturally-affiliated than Catholicism.
>> I think Jewish people also have a cultural component to their self proclaimed religious affiliation <<
I've often tried to use the Jews (when the context allowed me to without risking promoting anti-semitism, or the appearance that I may be anti-semitic) as an example of merely cultural religious affiliation, to explain that these so-called Catholics like Pelosi and Kennedy are anything but. (Nothing helps them Saturdays pass like a good ol' pork roast*, huh, Sen. Schumer!)
(* No, that's a purposely ouotrageous example. For Schumer to do that would be like for Kennedy to pee in the communion wine: it would come off as purposely offensive to his constituents whom he is trying to snowjob. Then again, Kennedy does get drunk alot...)
The ones I'm talking about are those you refer to as mega churches. They merely offer a brand of Christianity that is harder to find elsewhere. Some are good, some are not. But clearly, people want something different that still stands for something.
Thanks. ;-)
This is particularly true for Souther Baptists. About a quarter of all nondoms are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, yet claim no denomination so are not counted as SB.
Recently there has been a rush to remove Baptist from the names of churches in an effort to attract more people. Especially in areas outside of the South where the words Baptist or Southern Baptist carries negative connotations. About half of these churches not only remove the name but change the affiliation to nondenominational while in essence remaining SB.
Notice that the Churches that are disappearing are the ones which have bowed to secular culture and done everything to be seen as a part of it. Those Churches Catholic and Protestant that do not compromise the Gospel and are willing to stand against secular culture are growing.
According to Barna, 4% of the US pop is nondenominational or independent. Or about 12 million people.
because they are transients, and many are not even practicing Catholics.
I can only speak from personal experience, here in the Midwest (Kansas) the people whom I met in the NonDoms were of various backgrounds that came out of the traditional denominations because of the attitude of the leadership towards being spirit filled. I remember going to a precious church all black called Mount Zion Baptist Church, the first lament out of the pastors mouth was that they were Baptist and they were spirit filled and that they were staying spirit filled no matter what the head office had to say. I knew Catholics, Methodist, Nazarenes, and many more who had left the denominations because of their stance on the in filling of the Holy Spirit. I do not know what the attitude is today with the denominations concerning the infilling so I can not speak for or against that fact.
Most are either former mainline Christians that gave up on them (like myself) because of liberalism. A few may also be Evangelical Catholics that swung over, and immigration also plays a role.
The UCC is not just "gay-friendly", but puts on obnoxious TV ads criticizing other religions for having different beliefs on the morality of homosexual activity.
Thanks... but Barna has some bizarre definitional issues. For instance, no Catholic believes in the bible according to him (/it?). For international figures, especially the third world, there's not much better than Barna, but I stay away from him on domestic stuff... waaaaayyy to strong of an agenda (that being that we're all going to hell in a hadnbasket).
In the town where I live, there are roughly 6,000 people. There are 55 churches.
The churches in Boston (loads of scandals) are so empty that a fly buzzing across the church can be distracting.
The churches in Virginia (biggest scandal was with an adult woman), the churches have over 1000 seats, six masses per weekend, and people piled up out the door.
It all depends where you are.
" Yeah, but the non-religious don't make up any sort of voting bloc. They're all over the map, politically, so there's no way to manipulate them as a bloc. "
No they're not. They are overwhelmingly Democratic, and form the heart and soul of the Democratic party and funding in many regions of America.
I don't know much about the Assemblies of God church but why wouldn't they be considered Protestant???
I don't know either. I know why LDS aren't... but Assemblies of God is a wierd one. Maybe they simply reject the label?
That about 100 per church that is the average of a non dom church.
we try
"It all depends where you are."
In Virginia as well. Most Roman Catholic churches in Virginia are pretty big and filled up these days. However, the eastern Catholic churches are tiny.
I was in a Chicago north side Catholic Church and School that changed to Spanish (along with the neighborhood)in the 1970s.
Both the neighborhood and the Church and School went to heck in about 10 years. Now, the Church closed, the neighborhood is yuppified.
The countries? No.
My point is more that the immigrants aren't much for living according to the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. That's one of the things, as well as the oppressive political structures, that they come here to escape. Unmarried couples shacked up, changing partners when things get difficult, children with different fathers, typical sort of thing you see when sexual license is part of the life they choose. Not all, but many. Just like Americans. Escaping the structure of family and church is among the motivations for some.
I would question these figures. The lack of nondems leaves a gigantic whole in the number series, and I am not sure that the SBC has lost members.
I don't see any entry for Pentecostals either, who are growing rapidly, particularly among Hispanics.
I would suggest that this study is incomplete.
My bad, the Pentecostals were mentioned as a fast growing church.
I'm still not comfortable with this methodology.
Barna is very strict evangelical and even a lot of evangelical Christians would not pass the Barna criteria of "what is a Christian?". I would imagine Catholic and mainline Protestant churches (especially Anglican/Episcopal and Lutheran) would have issues with Barna at the definitional level.
The poroblem wioth this study is that it tests for church membership. Apparently many churhces now do not have formal membership. If you come you are a member, but possibly no formal rolls are kept. IIRC, Joel Osteens church is one of those that doesn't keep a mambership list.
A more accurate methodoligy would be to test average attendance. It would give you a much better feel for the size of the congregations.
No, that's not correct for us Catholics. It is - from my admitted limited understanding - the case with LDS, the Witnesses and other "new" churches.
The Catholic parishes I attended in Minnesota and Wisconsin were dying...as were the schools. In North Carolina (where I lived six years ago) and here in San Antonio, we have booming standing-room-only Mass attendance and rapidly expanding Catholic schools.
"...what few Orthodox are remaining are switching to the more generic Orthodox church..." "Generic" Orthodox Church?? Exactly what Church does this refer to?
""...what few Orthodox are remaining are switching to the more generic Orthodox church..." "Generic" Orthodox Church?? Exactly what Church does this refer to?"
I can't imagine what this is supposed to mean. Orthodoxy is growing fast, not with new imigrants but with converts, mostly from ECUSA and fundamentalist and evangelical Protestants.
"Meanwhile, the Council reported the Greek Orthodox Church (17th largest) as having 1.5 million members; the church doesn't report annually, but just a few years ago, it had nearly 2 million members. Of course, that report itself was quite old, so the decline isn't that amazingly fast. Still, unless there is rapid, unforeseen growth in the smaller Orthodox congregations, it means that overall, the Orthodox Church is likely declining, and what few Orthodox are remaining are switching to the more generic Orthodox church."
Back in the Spyridon era the Archdiocese put out that there were 3,000,000 Orthodox in the GOA. It was bunk designed to make the numbers of insurgents look small and create an aura of great authority in the hands of that very failed Archbishop. There have been about 1,500,000 GOA communicants for some years now, with, as I have said, some good growth the past 6 years or so. The other Orthodox jurisdictions here, especially the Antiochians, are growing too, again with converts from Protestantism.

The Catholic Church officially recognizes and accepts the Charismatic Renewal within the Church. The Church as so recognized and accepted the Renewal for at least 30 years or more.
Although some Catholics with issues may use the Renewal as an excuse to leave the Catholic Church, they do not, in honesty, leave the Catholic Church because of her stance vis-a-vis the Renewal.

The present invention relates generally to a method for the transmission of high-rate value added services, and, in particular, to a method for the transmission of high-rate value-added services according to the Extended Digital Audio Broadcasting (X-DAB) system.
The present invention lies in the field of the future digital radio broadcasting: "Digital Audio Broadcasting" (DAB), which was standardized in February 1995 by the European Telecommunication Standards Institute. DAB is suitable for the transmission of qualitatively high-grade audio programs to mobile, portable and fixed receivers, the real objective being mobile reception. One of the special features of DAB is the transmissibility of additional data at normally relatively low data rates, such as program-accompanying information, traffic information and the like. A plurality of audio programs and data services, respectively, are combined in a "DAB ensemble" and are broadcast jointly by the COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) multi-carrier transmission process in a frequency block of a width of approximately 1.5 MHz.
Recently, program providers have shown great interest in using DAB also to transmit value-added services such as video programs at a higher data rate. In the limiting case, this data rate may occupy the capacity of the entire DAB ensemble. One of the problems in this regard is that of error protection, which, at the maximum net data rate of 1.728 Mbit/s usable in the DAB system is so weak that the system is not suitable without restriction for mobile reception. Therefore, with acceptable error protection, interference-free transmission is only possible in the range of data rates up to approximately 1.2 Mbit/s.
Relative to the DAB system, the X-DAB system (Extended DAB) represents a downward-compatible, qualitatively higher-grade alternative to the DAB system, the X-DAB system retaining unchanged the physical parameters of the utilized OFDM multi-carrier transmission process as well as the basic structure of a transmission frame according to the DAB system. For special X-DAB data channels, in comparison with the DAB system, it is possible to obtain better interference immunity, accompanied at the same time by a higher data rate, through the use of coded modulation (multi-stage codes in conjunction with a higher-stage phase modulation of, for example, 8-PSK). Implementation of the X-DAB system makes it possible at any time to transmit a net data rate of 1.728 Mbit/s without restriction to the mobile user per DAB frequency block. It is even possible to achieve a maximum rate, of over 2 Mbit/s, but with an increase in the required signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver end in comparison with the lower data rate.
If the intention is to transmit high-grade value-added services, such as video programs in PAL quality, to mobile users, then the data rates achievable by the DAB and X-DAB systems are still too low. At present, a standard for the terrestrial broadcasting of digital television (DVB-T) is soon to be published by the responsible authority, the ETSI. It may be that the DVB-T system makes it possible to transmit high data rates—namely up to a maximum of about 30 Mbit/s per television channel of a bandwidth of 7 MHz in the VBT range or 8 MHz in the UHF range; however, the system concept, which is likewise based on the COFDM method, is designed primarily for supplying stationary and portable receivers. That is, mobile reception is possible only to a very limited extent even if use is made of a non-standardized expansion of the DVB-T system with regard to the type of modulation. See, for example, German Patent No. 4319 217 C2, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. In order just to come approximately within the range of the receiver-end signal-to-noise ratio available with the DAB system, it is possible with the DVB-T system to employ no more than a four-phase modulation on the subcarriers, as is used also in the DAB system. That is, in this case, the maximum transmissible data rate per television channel still amounts to approximately 6 Mbit/s.
In conjunction with the DAB system, German Patent Application No. 43 06 590 A1, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, has proposed that four adjacent frequency blocks be broadcast simultaneously in one television channel, the correspondingly source-coded data stream (such as MPEG-2 for video and audio) being multiplexed onto the frequency blocks, whereby with a broadband DAB receiver, composed of four parallel-arranged receivers arranged with a final output combiner, it is possible to evaluate a net data rate of max. 4×1.728=6.9 Mbit/s. If an error protection adapted to mobile conditions is used, this net data rate will still be approximately 4.6 Mbit/s. However, there is a need to further increase this data rate in order to optimize the transmission quality.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for the transmission of high-rate value-added services which reliably ensures transmission at even higher data rates than previously possible with the DAB system.
The present invention provides a method for the transmission of video programs, particularly to mobile users, utilizing at least two simultaneously broadcast, adjacent X-DAB frequency blocks in a single frequency network, a digital input stream, source-coded according to the respective service contents, being multiplexed onto the frequency blocks. According to the invention, a free carrier frequency is inserted between the X-DAB frequency blocks. It is thus possible to dispense with a guard separation of 0.2 MHz or greater between two frequency blocks. In this manner, the band-width requirement for the X-DAB frequency blocks is reduced, so that it is advantageously possible, within a channel having a predefined band width, to transmit a higher number of adjacent X-DAB frequency blocks within the predefined band width, thus permitting a higher transmission rate.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to increase the transmission rate, according to the invention, the input data stream is separated into a plurality of individual data streams, these individual data streams having different significance or importance for the quality of the service, and the individual data streams are distributed, according to their significance or importance, between individual X-DAB frequency blocks. This transmission of a data stream, also described as hierarchical transmission, makes it possible to strengthen error protection for more important partial data streams or individual data streams, and to reduce the error protection for those which are less important, but in exchange, to transmit a higher data rate in the case of the partial data streams which are less important. This makes it possible to increase the transmission data rate overall.
Advantageously, during transmission according to the invention, the output signals of the four X-DAB narrow-band transmitters, which provide the four X-DAB frequency blocks, are combined into one common output signal and are thereupon transmitted, for which purpose a summing circuit is provided whose output is connected to an HF stage. At the input end, during the transmission process, the input data stream is split at the input end between the four X-DAB transmitters by a service-splitting circuit.
As an alternative to the summing of the output signals from the plurality of X-DAB transmitters, in order to prevent disturbances of the condition of orthogonality between the subcarriers of the adjacent frequency blocks, provision is advantageously made for combining the signals corresponding to the plurality of X-DAB transmitters at the level of the digital baseband signal processing after a differential modulation of the subcarriers of individual blocks, yet before the actual OFDM signal generation. Advantageously, the OFDM signals are expediently generated by Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation (IFFT), followed by D/A conversion and I/Q modulation.
The bundling of a plurality of, for example four, X-DAB frequency blocks to the advantage of a broadband X-DAB, BX-DAB system within a normal television channel permits the interference-free transmission of value-added services at a high data rate in particular to mobile receivers at a typical data rate of 6.9 Mbit/s.
The system concept according to the present invention offers a high degree of flexibility with regard to different error-protection profiles and thus data rates, the profiles, in the transmission of a data frame, being switchable within a frequency block and also between the blocks with regard to the individual data streams of the source signal. In contrast to the above-described DVB-T system, this makes it possible to implement both a constant-ratio and a non-constant-ratio error protection. The system concept is also suitable for a type of hierarchical transmission, where, in contrast to the DVB-T system, the difference lies not in the type of modulation on the individual OFDM subcarriers, but in the number of frequency blocks to be evaluated.
Following, the preset invention is described in greater detail by way of example, with reference to the drawings, in which:
As noted above, there is a need for new system concepts making it possible to also provide value-added services at higher data rates for mobile receivers without any appreciable loss of quality. Through recourse to already existing systems such as DAB or, as in the case according to the invention, to X-DAB as the basic structure, it is possible to significantly reduce the costs of hardware development for the transmitter and receiver ends.
For example, four different parameter sets (transmission modes) which describe the physical parameters of the transmission frame and of the OFDM process exist for the DAB system. These parameter sets are identical for the X-DAB system. For example, in the "transmission mode II", a frame corresponds to a duration of 24 ms and contains L=76 OFDM symbols, of which the first is occupied by the synchronization signal and the next 1-3 by the control channel (fast information channel, FIC), as shown in FIG. 1. The remaining symbols, which form the main service channel (MSC), are available for the transmission of useful data. A block in the transmission frame corresponds to the data contents which can be transmitted within an OFDM symbol. Each service occupies its own area, the so-called subchannel, in the MSC. Also integrated in the MSC is the XSC (X-DAB Service Channel) which, in extreme cases, may take up the entire MSC capacity. However, such an extreme case occurs only if a service is to be transmitted at a high data rate, i.e. in this case, the MSC or XSC contras only one subchannel. The number K of subcarriers used in the OFDM process is likewise different for the individual transmission modes and ranges from K=192 for mode III to K=1536 for mode 1.
In conformance with the proposed design approach according to the invention, a plurality of, in the present case up to four narrow-band X-DAB frequency blocks, which are simultaneously broadcast by all transmitters of a common-wave or single-frequency network, are accommodated in a television channel with a bandwidth of 7 or 8 MHz (VHF or UHF range), as shown in FIG. 4. The maximum data rate achievable thereby per channel by bundling the capacity of the individual frequency blocks, i.e. the ensemble contents is approximately 8.3 Mbit/s in the case of four frequency blocks. If use is made of error protection adapted to mobile reception, 6.9 Mbit/s thereof is still left for the transmission of useful data. That is, per data channel, approximately 4 MPEG-2 coded video programs in VHS quality including stereo sound, or one to two programs in PAL quality can be transmitted and received by mobile users.
In addition, the capacity of the four fast information channels (FIC) is available for the transmission of additional data (Fast Information Data Charnel, FIDC), each with about 32 kbit/s (mode III: 43 kbit/s).
The frequency blocks are advantageously arranged in such a manner that the individual subcarriers of all the blocks lie in the same radio-frequency pattern Δf. The radio-frequency pattern Δf is defined by the useful interval duration TU of an OFDM symbol: Δf =1/TU. The smallest carrier interval is in mode 1: Δf=1 kHz, and the largest in mode III: Δf=8 kHz.
It is advantageously possible to dispense with a greater guard separation of 0.2 MHz, as is required in the customary allocation of frequencies for the DAB system in order to prevent adjacent-channel interference between individual frequency blocks. Merely one single, unassigned carrier frequency is preferably additionally inserted between the frequency blocks. Taking account of the fact that the carrier on the respective block mid-frequency is also not assigned, the bandwidth requirement for the four frequency blocks results as:
If use is made of the known DAB or X-DAB parameters, there results a value of approximately 6.2 MHz for all modes. This system concept is referred to hereinafter as BX-DAB (Broadband X-DAB).
Basically, after an appropriate service splitting of the input data stream, which may possibly originate from a plurality of sources, the desired broadband transmission signal can be generated by a multiple, in the present case a four-fold parallel connection of known X-DAB transmitters according to FIG. 2 and subsequent addition of the output signals of these transmitters. This situation is presented in
Broadband X-DAB receivers shall now be explained with reference to
In order, at the receiving end of the transmitting, to be able to evaluate the entire data stream in the broadband transmission signal, two principles are possible as shown in
This second embodiment of the receiver according to the invention is superior to its first embodiment when it is a matter of evaluating the entire data stream. However, with the above-described broadband X-DAB transmitter/receiver concept, it is also possible to accomplish a so-called hierarchical transmission of a data steam. This requires that the source data stream can be separated into a plurality of individual streams, these having different significance or importance for the quality of the associated service, for example with regard to image quality. Thus, it is possible, for example, to increase the error protection for more important data streams and to reduce it for less important ones, but in return, to transmit a higher data rate in this area. Changes in error protection even within a transmission frame are easy to implement with the X-DAB system, but are not possible with the DVB-T system described at the outset. If, at the transmitter end, the data streams are distributed according to their importance among the individual frequency blocks beginning, for example, with the lowest frequency, then reception quality and receiver costs can be exchanged for each other, a technically simple receiver, for example, evaluating only one frequency block such as block 1, which is tuned to the mid-frequency fA. In this case, the receiver is identical with the normal X-DAB narrow-band receiver with the maximum FFT size N′=N=2048. In order to improve the service quality, it is necessary for a further block to be added and co-evaluated, for example block 2, tuned to the mid-frequency fS1. Since an FFT of the maximum size N′=4096 is required, the receiver must already be correspondingly broad-band. In the case of video transmission, this may signify, for example, a quality step from VHS to PAL. In this scheme, frequency blocks 3 and 4 may likewise be assigned to a separate service and be evaluated independently of frequency blocks 1 and 2, the receiver being tuned to mid-frequency fS2.
With regard to the above-described frequency blocks, it is also possible for an additional substream to be transmitted to frequency block 1 or 2, this contributing to a further improvement in the quality of the service. In order, for example, to achieve full image quality in this case, it is necessary to use the most complex and thus most costly receiver, with the maximum FFT size N=8192 given four-fold parallelization of the X-DAB baseband signal processing. The arrangement of an unassigned carrier between the individual frequency blocks has, for all receiver types irrespective of FFT size and the accordingly-selected mid-frequency, the consequence that the input signal is always without a direct component, this guaranteeing optimal modulation of the A/D converters.

I was recommended to use WordPress, however everything I have tried so far doesn't show the wordpress test site that I have made, it just shows the old html site I built. Under publish in the wordpress editor it says: status:published and visibility:public.
I even tried deleting the files from the index for the old site. When I do this I get 404 error not found. How can I publish the page to be viewed by others. I tried following several video tutorials but they didn't seem to address this issue or have problems like this.
