|Flowscript debugger with JDK 5 on Leopard
|Wed, 14 Nov 2007 11:12:33 GMT
Hi folks, I'm having problems running the flowscript debugger on JDK 1.5 on Leopard, and wondered if anyone else was seeing the same thing. Basically, when Cocoon (2.1.10) hits a flowscript and launches the debugger, it also launches an exception: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: No such child: 1 at java.awt.Container.getComponent (Container.java:280) I've tried updating to js-1.6r6 and js-1.6r7 but they exhibit the same problem. I haven't been able to test in 2.1.11-dev as my svn checkout is not up-to-date and my dev machine has no net connection at the moment. Any suggestions? Andrew.

"Good Morning America" Cancels Adam Lambert; Plus A Short History of…TV Music Tiffs
In the wake of Adam Lambert's racy American Music Awards performance on Sunday, ABC's "Good Morning America" has cancelled his appearance tomorrow on the show. Lambert will now instead be a guest on CBS's "The Early Show."
"Given his controversial American Music Awards performance, we were concerned about airing a similar concert so early in the morning," said an ABC spokesperson.
While singing the title song from his new album "For Your Entertainment" on the AMAs, Lambert appeared to simulate oral sex with a performer onstage, and kissed one of his bandmates.
ABC, which broadcast the AMAs, said more than 1,500 people complained about Lambert's show-closing number. The network called that a "moderate" response.
Lambert isn't the first singer to be caught up in a televised brouhaha. Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Sinéad O'Connor and others have been involved in musical misadventures–but such incidents seem to be happening a lot more often lately, perhaps thanks to YouTube and the Web.
A look at videos from other TV music tiffs after the jump.

Goth (disambiguation)for other, similarly-named pages.
Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh (or Goth for short) was a Time Lord politician and occasional agent of the Celestial Intervention Agency. As Lord Chancellor, he became a pawn of the Master.
Biography Edit
On Gallifrey, Goth, alongside two other Time Lords, presided over the trial of the Doctor. This decided his exile on Earth. (TV: The War Games, PROSE: Future Imperfect)
On behalf of the Celestial Intervention Agency, Goth masqueraded as the fictional character Lemuel Gulliver in the Land of Fiction to monitor the Second Doctor. (PROSE: Future Imperfect)
Later, Goth became Chancellor and persuaded the CIA to send the Third Doctor to Peladon. (PROSE: Legacy)
Alliance with the Master Edit
Goth travelled to the planet Tersurus and found the dying Master, who was now at the end of his regeneration cycle and physically little more than a decaying corpse. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks, AUDIO: The Two Masters) Aware by now that the Lord President did not intend to name him as his successor, the Chancellor entered into an uneasy alliance with the Master, who promised him the presidency in exchange for helping to kill the Fourth Doctor. Goth subsequently assassinated the President before he could announce his successor, setting up the Doctor as an unwitting decoy assassin. The result should have been an unopposed election for the office. However, the Doctor announced his own candidacy to buy himself time to investigate.
Inside the Matrix, Goth fought the Doctor, initially using his knowledge of the Matrix's workings to his advantage. The Doctor soon gained the upper hand however, and the infuriated Master tried to overload the Matrix by sending a massive energy spike through Goth's brain.
The Doctor escaped from the Matrix in time, but the spike had fatally damaged Goth's brain and destroyed his regeneration cycle. The Doctor found Goth and the seemingly dead (but actually self-sedated) Master not long after. The dying Chancellor told the Doctor how he and the Master had come to be allies, and why he wanted to kill the previous President.
Goth died shortly afterwards, and it was decided by Borusa to cover up the actual truth of his death. The population was told that Goth had heroically sacrificed his life to kill the Master. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)
Goth's death may have been incomplete or incorrectly explained. The Eighth Doctor prodded Cavis and Gandar for details on their actions, asking them, "What's Goth been saying about me?" (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon)
Personal details Edit
Goth had a brother named Rath. (PROSE: Blood Harvest)
Behind the scenes Edit
- Actor Bernard Horsfall had played both Lemuel Gulliver in The Mind Robber and an unnamed Time Lord who presided over the Second Doctor's trial in The War Games.
- Goth's full name of Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh was given in the short story War Crimes.

I recalled the succinct words of Vice President-elect Joe Biden during the vice presidential debate.
"Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage... That is basically the decision to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths," he said.
First, by voting yes on 8, you redefined marriage. Admittedly, the existing definition had only been in place for a few months, but by voting yes, you are taking a stand on the issue and redefining marriage. I would also like to point out that Obama and Biden both supported NO on 8. (Biden: "If I lived in California, I'd clearly vote against prop 8. ... I think it's regressive, I think it's unfair."; Obama: When you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about."
I think there is a misunderstanding going on here. Civil marriage--marriage as recognized by the state of California--is not a religious institution. A couple may be both legally married and married in a religious ceremony, but the two do not have to go together. The CA Supreme Court decision in May made it very clear that the ruling only affected civil marriage. It had no effect on the marriages of any individual church, just as a change in any church's definition of marriage would have no effect on civil marriages. Of course the official definition of marriage as recognized by any particular church is up to the leadership of that church. There is no reason this should be the same as the definition the state offers, and of course it's not the same in many cases.
I truly do not understand how allowing same-sex couples to marry violates separation of church and state. The only explanation I can think of is that Sreepada seriously misunderstood the way our state handled same-sex marriages between June and November this year. Going on:
While the California Supreme Court's acceptance of gay marriage appeared to grant complete equality to gays, it undemocratically undermined another pillar of our Constitution: the separation of church and state. The decision could have led to a dangerous rift between religious institutions and our government, possibly putting patriots at odds with the religiously faithful.
First of all, there seems to be a very common sentiment that any time a court overturns an existing law, it is undemocratic, simply because that law itself was created through democratic means (either a legislature, or a ballot measure). The foundation of our government is "by the people, for the people" but it is also a system of checks and balances. And a very important part of that is the ability for courts to rule that a law is unconstitutional. You may disagree with their decision, but striking down laws is part of their job--it's not unconstitutional for them to do it.
But to address the real point being made, I fail to see how the decision undermined the separation of church and state. I can only imagine that this view resulted from a misunderstanding of what allowing same-sex couples to marry (again, I'm talking about civil marriage, not marriage in the eyes of any specific religion) did and didn't do. It did indeed create a "rift" (to put it nicely) between several groups and individuals, as did prop 8 being on the ballot, as did its passage. I don't see how that makes it wrong or right. It just means this is a controversial issue.
After this, Sreepada tries to elaborate on how same-sex marriage undermines the separation of church and state. There is an argument about religious leaders being "forced to act against their faiths," which did not happen during the period when same-sex marriage was legal here, and would have continued not to happen, regardless of the outcome of prop 8. Then it is claimed that marriage is "not a legal concept." Certainly, religious marriage is probably older than civil marriage, but then the idea of trading goods for money has existed much longer than any California laws regulating businesses. Does that mean that a business is not a legal concept? No, it just means that it may have different meanings in different contexts. And one of those is a legal definition. Marriage is most certainly a legal concept.
In time, maybe the Supreme Court will declare the term "marriage" unconstitutional. When that moment comes, it will be a victory not just for equality, but the separation between church and state.
Perhaps this sheds some light on what was really meant. It's not that marriage isn't a legal concept, but rather that it shouldn't be one. That is, it is a religious concept which the government has become involved in, so its become a legal concept. Maybe it would be better left to the churches, and the government should just stay out of it. While the idea of eliminating civil marriage altogether is a bit radical, it would certainly be equal. All couples would have the same rights under the law.
Basically, this person seems simply misled or misinformed. If you think you understood him better than I did, please tell me.

Sure, there weren't any margaritas, but there was a piñata and a four-man mariachi band. In an hour filled with singing, dancing and clapping, they celebrated the promotion of one of our own.

$203,150 PURSE, Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas guessed a rare red croc Birkin Bag complete with diamonds and Palladium Hardware would fetch about $80,000. They were just a bit off. The bag has broken the record dollar amont for any bag sold at auction bringing in a whopping $203,150.
The background of the bag is sketchy, although it appears that the bag belonged to someone in Florida prior to auction. The owner of the bag opted for a black croc replacement and thus sent the Birkin to auction.
The buyer of the bag is not being revealed. Celebrity clients of Hermes Birkin Bags love their luxurious materials and stellar hardware. They are also enjoy how spacious the bags are. Carrying a Birkin Bag is a very high status look.
Fans of the Birkin Bags include Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian. This was not the only bag to be auctioned by Heritage. Other designer bags included designs by Charles Jourdan, Judith Leiber and Celine. Luggage pieces were offered from Fendi and Louis Vuitton.

Most NFL teams strive to have a balanced offense. The Patriots prefer an offense that keeps teams off balance.
They have a quarterback in Tom Brady who can throw with the best of them. But that doesn�t mean he�s going to air it out every week, as was the scene in Minnesota.
Corey Dillon and Laurence Maroney are talented running backs. But that doesn�t mean they�re going to be leaned on every week, as was the case against Buffalo (first meeting) and Cincinnati.
Instead, the Patriots prefer an approach in which they tailor their plan specifically to that week�s game.
�We try to figure out what is going to work best, and that�s what we do,� Brady said. �So some weeks it�s spread, some weeks it�s run more, sometimes it�s throw more, some weeks it�s bunch formations, sometimes it�s motions. Whatever we feel we can be most effective with, that�s what we�re going to try to do.
�It�s nice that we�re kind of chameleon-like. We can kind of morph from week to week. A lot of teams don�t really do that. A lot of teams just do what they do.
�We talk about that when we play certain defenses. But rather than go bang your head against a wall like against Minnesota and try to run it and it�s an eight-man front out there, we just decided, �Hey, we�re going to throw the ball.� �
So the Patriots, with a Monday Night Football audience looking on, unveiled a five-receiver package. Brady then turned in his best game of the season, going 28 for 43 for 372 yards and four touchdowns in a 31-7 victory.
Three weeks earlier in Cincinnati, Brady attempted 26 passes � or two less than he made against the Vikings. Meanwhile, Maroney and the backs racked up 236 yards on 41 carries in a 38-13 rout.
The Patriots host the Jets on Sunday in a rather important (crucial if you�re the New Yorkers) AFC East matchup at Gillette Stadium.
In the first meeting, the Patriots went jumbo with tight ends Benjamin Watson, Daniel Graham and David Thomas on the field together for 25 of 69 offensive plays � 39 of them runs. They provided run blocking, but also got downfield with Graham and Thomas catching 29-yard passes, while Watson had a 23-yarder among his three receptions.
�They always seem to have a little wrinkle, a substitute package,� Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy said. �They do a good job of keeping you off balance.�
The Jets have a run defense that couldn�t slow down a Ford Escort that�s out of gas, ranking 30th in a 32-team league. The Patriots are averaging 127.8 rushing yards, good for seventh.
It would be reasonable to think New England will lean on the run, but you never know what direction this offense will take. That goes for this game, the ones to come and the last one. (Raise your hand if you thought the Patriots would run more than they did against the Colts.)
Unified in their acceptance to constant change, the players nonetheless have somewhat diverse opinions on where the offense stands at the midseason mark.
�Improving,� tackle Matt Light said when asked for one word to describe a unit that, for all the talk about timing issues, ranks eighth in scoring average (23.4) and 11th in total yards (341.0).
�Inconsistent,� said running back Kevin Faulk, who�s still smarting from Sunday�s loss to Indianapolis.
�Uhhhhhhhhh,� center Dan Koppen thought before settling on �working to get better.� That�s four words, but what the heck.
No matter the opponent, the venue or the plan, the Patriots have been consistently good in two key areas. They rank third in the NFL in red-zone efficiency with a conversion rate of 62.5 percent (20 TDs, 32 trips) and fifth in third-down success at 42.7 percent.
Injuries to Graham and guard Stephen Neal and a group of new-to-New England receivers haven�t helped with continuity. However, fullback Heath Evans believes the offense has overcome those losses by being physically (always) and mentally (sometimes) tough.
�Week in and week out, we know we�re going to be physical,� Evans said, �but then at times we get lackadaisical in different areas (missed blocking assignments, taking penalties) and those areas catch up to us.�
Whether it�s five receivers, three tight ends or two running backs, there are always five linemen out there. The formations change, their objective doesn�t.
�We really don�t care what personnel groups we�ve got, we have jobs to do on each play, and that�s what we do,� Koppen said. �We go out there and run them to the best of our ability and try to give the backs holes to run through, and Tommy time to make the throws. It�s pretty simple when it comes down to that.�

text: Hey, I recently just got my PS2 hooked up online. The first game I bought for it was Tribes. So far, I've been having a blast! It is a pain not to have voice communication, but I'm still really enjoying it. The only problems I've really had have been being banned because 9/10s of the server is too lazy to vote no. I've never done anything wrong. And I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but when I was kicked and tried to log back on, it says I was banned from the server!!! If I keep getting kicked from the server and end up being banned I'll run out of dedicated servers to play on. And to remind you again, I've NEVER done ANYTHING wrong in the game. I think they might of wanted to kick me once because I had a 0 kills - 0 points score, but that was because I was transporting my team mates to the other side of the map the entire time. Argh it pisses me off. Another question I have is if there are any good/well known clans out there for the PS2 version? I'm pretty good (normally ranked top 5 in the winning team and top 3 in the loosing team) Which is pretty good for a player who has only owned the game for a couple weeks. If anyone else out there plays PS2 version, lets hook up.

Come weary souls! with sin distressedAuthor: Anne Steele
Published in 284 hymnals
Printable scores: PDF, Noteworthy ComposerAudio files: MIDI
1 Come, weary souls! with sins distressed,
Come, and accept the promised rest;
The Saviour's gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
2 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon, and life, and endless peace--
How rich the gift, how free the grace!
3 Dear Saviour, let thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove;
Oh, sweetly reign in every breast,
And guide us to eternal rest.

Come, weary souls, with sin distressed. Anne Steele. [Invitation.] First published in her Poems on Subjects chiefly Devotional, 1760, vol. i. p. 27, in 5 stanzas of 4 lines, and entitled, "Weary souls invited to rest" (2nd ed., vol. i. p. 27); and in Sedgwick's reprint of her Hymns, 1863. It is in extensive use both in Great Britain and America, and sometimes with "sins" for "sin" in the opening line. It was introduced into the Nonconformist hymnals through the Bristol Collection, 1769, of Ash & Evans, and into those of the Church of England by Conyers, 1772, and Toplady, 1776.

Dubai will be home to first 3D printed office building
We've seen 3D printed home concepts and low-cost housing printed using giant 3D printers. Functional 3D printed buildings and homes are still a thing of the future, though, a future that is now upon us: Dubai has announced a project that will result in the first ever 3D printed office building — a building that will be functional and will include printed furniture. It will be a 2,000 square foot building, and will be made from a 20ft-tall printer.

A universal translator was a form of augmented reality technology that could translate languages into the language a person was speaking. Overtime, this would help unite humanity.
(Note: The background section of this page uses most of the words from the augmented reality page of Terra Futura to save time.)
Ubiquitous computing was a concept in which the computer chip was dispersed into the environment. The most well known example was the cell phone. Starting with 3G phones, cell phones became smartphones. Some 5G phones used virtual retinal displays which became standard in 6G phones. With implantable brain-computer interfaces, the smartphone became part of a person's body. This increased human intelligence. No need for a screen or a projector. A holographic computer screen would appear in front of them if they wanted to do something. If he or she wanted to play a video game or such, a person could become fully immersed in virtual reality. Or he or she could use virtual reality to create augmented reality if the person was working on a construction project or something else.
With implantable brain-computer interfaces, augmented reality became a reality and changed the world. In tourism ancient ruins could be seen as they were thousands of years ago. If you were driving a driverless car, the gauges would not be in the dashboard, but in the brain-computer interface. Music stands and screen plays became obsolete because the lines or notes would appear in a person's field of vision. A student who missed a lecture could download the missed lecture into the brain-computer interface and see it for himself. A soldier could get the latest data on a battlefield. These were just some applications of augmented reality. Another was X-Ray Vision. Of course, this required a virtual retinal display contact lens to avoid hurting the eyes, but back-scatter X-Rays still did the job. This was useful in surgery. Another application involved combining augmented reality and full immersion virtual reality in a holodeck. Finally, one of the most well known applications of augmented reality was the universal translator which used audio translation to translate any language into the language the person was speaking.
Tech Level: 11
An idea fresh out of Star Trek, the universal translator was once considered to be unrealistic. But computers were advancing so much that by the time implantable brain-computer interfaces became the norm, it was possible for humans who spoke two different languages to carry on a conversation while each person heard the other person speak in the language they that each person spoke. This technology used implantable brain-computer interfaces to trick a person's ears into hearing only his or her own language. As humans became intimately merged with machines, software was no longer a problem. A person could create universal translator software in their brains with the help of their nanobots. This would help unite humanity forever or as long as there wasn't any trouble.

Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. I thank the chairman for yielding me time.
Mr. Speaker, when I announced and wanted to run for Congress, my focus primarily was on the debt, on the issue of the debt and the impact that the debt was going to have on my daughter and my little boy. My daughter, Mary Katherine, is sitting with me right here today for this historic day. It's critically important to me. And a lot of the folks back home that I hear from, when they contact me, they contact me about the debt and about spending.
Now I came up here to do something about it, and I have been watching this debate closely, and I have been a supporter of the Speaker both on the plan last week, and I am a supporter of the agreement that is going to come before us today. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Is it great? Absolutely not. It is good? It's a good first step.
I would say this: If a President and a Senate that I agreed with put this type of plan forward, I would reject it out of hand.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. DREIER. I yield the gentleman 1 additional minute.
Mr. GRIFFIN of Arkansas. If a deal, an agreement like this, came from a President with which I generally agree, and a Senate with which I generally agreed, I would reject it out of hand. But that's not what we have. We have divided government. We have this Chamber controlled by a different vision for America.
So I believe this is about as good as we are going to get, and I am supporting it because it is consistent with my principles. There are no tax increases. It controls spending now, controls spending in the future, and allows us to vote on a balanced budget amendment.
These are all things that I can support. These are the principles that we have been fighting for over the last few months. And I would say this: If this were the only step ever in dealing with the debt, I would vote ``no,'' but it's not.
It's only the beginning. We didn't get in this mess with one bill or one piece of legislation. It took a long time and a lot of votes, and it's going to take a long time and a lot of battles to get out of it. And this is a good first step.

I believe your professional career in photography and printing services uniquely qualifies your observations and opinions in the optical realm. I shot semi-pro for 2-3 years around 2005 and greatly appreciated that I had Much to learn, but had no guidance or mentoring and consequently just amateur success. It was a lot of fun, still have all of my Canon L-glass. Now I'm retired and should jump back into it as an enjoyable hobby but alas, already have too many of them to support!
If possible, hang on to the 10X42L, putting it through its paces and trials. Your CA sensitivity may not go away, but the optical virtues it does present could smooth over and temper those issues, allowing full enjoyment of terrestrial and astronomical heavenly views!

I had the opportunity to compare a Canon 10x42L IS WP with my Nikon 10x32 EDG for about 15 minutes while I was birding on the deck at Cape May Point, New Jersey a couple of years ago.
When the IS is on while using it I think it would be reasonable for you to expect the best hand held view you will ever have from any 10x binocular!
I could only approach its view with my Nikon 10x32 EDG when I braced both my elbows on the deck's railing while using it.

I'd dare say that your problems with the Canon and CA come from your expertise in seeing and understanding CA combined with the fact that image stabilization allows one to much more easily see not just detail in the observed image but also any and all optical defects in the instrument.
I have directly compared the Canon 10x42 L IS with all the other top binoculars, and can say that you are not going to find a model that would have significantly less CA. For a CA-free view, you need to view with one of the few premium spotting scopes available, and at low enough magnifications.

I bet it has to do the IPD setting..... The eyecups shape and diameter of them plus the lack of a simple center hinge make getting the IPD on the Canon more difficult. I also experienced lots of CA on my first go with the Canon 10x42.
Here is a tip and how I set the IPD on all my bins.
I look at a CA problem area (bare branches, telephone lines, roof edges, etc.) and move the IPD in and out until I get the best CA free center field image.
Its amazing how much 1mm or less in IPD can make on CA performance.
FWIW I find the Canon 10x42 is excellent at controlling CA, and when it comes to CA its better than my Nikon SE 10x42.....

Guys rather than clogging up the forum with lots of short replies may I make just the one reply.
I've been using the binoculars for a few outings now and like them a lot and am sure that they were the correct choice. Yesterday I was in a hide watching wading birds and was amazed to note that even when with my arms supported firmly on the shelf that switching on the IS there was a distinct improvement in the image, which just goes to show that it only takes a very slightest body tremor to degrade the image quality.
I was watching a heron with the water quite well lit and was surprised to see quite significant CA down it's right side with the bird in the middle of the field of view. Your comment would be appreciated. I'm sure that I had the eye pieces set up correctly as I had plenty of time to mess around.
I greatly value all of your suggestions and tips.
Cheers Richard

If you mean quite well lit, as in a very high contrast area, even I'd expect to notice some form of CA. Without a pic, very hard to determine what were the lighting dynamics of the overall scene. Personally, I can see with regular vision substantial CA on the water while fishing and facing the horizon, typically with a high noon sun that "lights" the still water with a mirror-like glass glaze. Objects (corks, birds, branches, etc.) that become well under-lit can start displaying stark edge distortions, mostly in the form of CA smears. At times, this situation can appear on a very clear bright day, or even on a bright cloudy day. Then, I pop on my Polarized UVA\B sunglasses and vision returns to normal.
Your day and situation I'm sure, were very different. However, with your understanding, recognition and sensitivity for CA, no doubt you will find certain views that could be disappointments...but are the 10X42L's IS\optical virtues "good-enough" to please 99% of your glassing time to be called, "keepers"?

If the IS was on I would expect one sided CA to be visible on the central Heron.
With IS off I suppose it could settle with the prisms slightly off centre. There is about a one degree maximum shift in the prisms.
It could be that the collimation process has moved one side slightly off centre.

Today I tried to see CA centrally with the 10x42 IS. It was difficult.
However, if one barrel was slightly out of focus I could see CA. I think because my accommodation is small.
The Canon is a short focus instrument. It has many lens elements. These elements will be slightly off centre, slightly wedge shaped. The spacing slightly wrong. The glass mixture slightly wrong also. Everything may be in tolerance but nothing is perfect.
There may be floating focus elements.
The centres of our pupils are not exactly on the optical axes of our eyes. Our eyes have CA. They may not be exactly on the binocular optical axis. This binocular optical axis may wobble slightly.
There are so many variables.
I wonder if CA would be seen with a Newtonian reflector.
A senior optical lecturer told me that even Newtonians can show slight CA if one looks carefully enough. But I cannot remember the reason.
I can see very subtle differences in shades of fabrics, but I don't see the subtle changes reported here by birdwatchers. My eyes are not trained for this.
Professional photographers I think stop down their taking optics a lot to get the best results. I routinely use my lenses at f/1.4 and f/1.2 and get very nice images.

Yes as regards to stopping down lenses there is a sweet spot for all lenses for in particular sharpness and it is different for each lens design as would be expected.
I've now had quite a bit of time with these binoculars and am quite happy with them. I'm getting a huge amount of pleasure from using them for a wide range of subjcts even if they are a bit heavy when they are slung round my neck. I have got myself a wide non brand neck strap as I felt that the Canon one could draw too much attention to them<G>
Thanks everyone for your very useful comments.

Nice to hear others enjoying and appreciating their optical prowess. If one can get by their ergonomic quirks, the on going optical rewards of the Canon 10X42L IS are many and the areas of application very diverse!
Appreciate the link to the "X-Rite Color Test", very interesting! My first attempt scored a 12, so I stopped there...not perfect, but good enough for me!!

Use the XL uni-loop clips, as that allows the strap to remain at some distance from your face when you raise the glass to your eyes.
The arrangement ensures that your optics won't hit the deck when one of the clips gives way. Also it is easy to take the glass off, unlike when a harness is involved. The strap is 1" flat nylon, with a 2.75" wide neoprene shoulder section.
I have this kit for both my Canon 10x42 as well as for my scope, a little Nikon ED-50 on a monopod.

I will say this... I'm starting to carry the Canon IS 10X42 along with my primary 7X42/8X42 more and more. It's a great combination. For sure the Canon has never failed me.

Except for the slow focus speed (900 degrees CF to Inf.), the 10X42L IS could easily be my main birding instrument. However, I can see my FL 7X42 augmenting a search, then switching to my IS 10X for a positive ID, but forget the in-between 8X carry!!

Just to say that I'm getting so much pleasure from these binoculars and to be able to watch for an hour or two and feel no discomfort what so ever is fantastic. The IS is so good that I wonder why more makers ignore it's benefit in giving a superior viewing experience.
Best wishes all. Richard

As a college student I am always looking for the easiest and cheapest recipes that I can throw together. I have a lot of roommates this year since I'm living in a house rather than an apartment, and that means that anything baked in the kitchen is free game for the other 9 girls. A few days ago my roommate made the most amazing pumpkin dessert I have ever tasted! Unfortunately I was only able to eat one due to the large crowd of girls sitting around the kitchen table, but I immediately asked for the recipe so I could make more! I was shocked to learn that the recipe only called for three ingredients, pumpkin, cake mix, and margarine. Hello new favorite food 🙂
Serves: 36
Amazing 3 Ingredient Mini Pumpkin Poppers
30 minPrep Time
10 minCook Time
40 minTotal Time
- 15.25 ounces spice cake mix

Funny? - Poem by Patrick 'the pyropoet' littrell
It's funny how hello is always accompanied with goodbye
It's funny how good memories can start to make you cry
It's funny how forever never seems to really last
It's funny how much you'd loose if you forgot about your past
It's funny how friends can just leave you when you're down
It's funny how when you need someone they're never around
It's funny how people can change and think they're so much better
It's funny how many lies can be packed in one ''love letter''
It's funny how people can forgive even though they can't forget
It's funny how one night can contain so much regret
It's funny how ironic life turns out to be,
But the funniest part,
Is that none of it is funny...
To me.

Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, powerful, and enduring classics of modern speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz is a true landmark of 20th-century literature - a chilling and still-provocative look at a postapocalyptic future.
In a nightmarish, ruined world, slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in darkness, the infantile rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From there, the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes.
Seriously funny, stunning, tragic, eternally fresh, imaginative, and altogether remarkable, A Canticle for Leibowitz retains its ability to enthrall and amaze. It is now, as it always has been, a masterpiece.
©1959 Walter M. Miller, Jr. (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Chillingly effective." (Time)
"Introibo Ad Altare"
One of the landmark jewels of science fiction, Walter Miller's Canticle will be, for some readers of a certain age, a treat for the ear, the heart, and the soul. However, so much has changed since the author crafted this work, e.g., the thaw of the Cold War, the disappearance of Latin since the Second Vatican Council in 1965, and the steep decine of the Catholic Church with its rigors and obedience, that many of the central premises and conceits of the book simply no longer commonly exist today. For me, the book was as fresh as when I read it in 1967 as a high school student. I hope that a younger audience enjoys it as much as I have.
Warning: There is a LOT of Latin in this work. This could make it difficult to parse as an audio experience unless you have a pretty good grounding in this tongue. You might want to get the kindle text to read with it. I think you will find it to be worth your while.
"A Classic"
A Canticle for Leibowitz tells 3 tales (spaced 600 years apart) of a monastic order in the American Southwestern desert, founded by an engineer named Leibowitz who tried to preserve the knowledge of the human race following a nuclear holocaust. The first story is set 6 centuries into the new Dark Age, when a simple monk receives an unusual visitation...the second is set in the early renaissance, when an early scientist comes to study the old knowledge...the third is set in a newly modern age, as the world is on the verge of another nuclear war.
It was a brilliant set of stories...today it seems a little dated [e,g, the heavy use of Latin which, today, has largely vanished from the Church], but the stories are very powerful and the symbolism is thought-provoking.
Walter Miller wrote a bunch of great short stories and novellas, but this is the only novel he published during his lifetime. In fact, he never published another work after this one, except for another novel set in the same millieu which was published posthumously.
Tom Weiner's reading is good without being great...at several times, I wondered if he was the best choice for a reader, just because his style seemed a little incongruous. But he's a great reader and he does a good job with this.
"Proving Why It's A Classic"
Every since its appearance in 1960, this has been one of the science fiction novels that anyone interested in the genre (and even those not interested in the genre) has loved. Three separate stories set 600, 1200, and 1800 years after a nuclear war - the monks of the Order of Leibowitz have had their mission in the US Southwest. The bookleggers and memorizers of the order preserve the knowledge of civilization that existed prior to the war and keep it in trust for mankind until it can be used again.
There are much better reviews of the book as a whole that can be found elsewhere. This is a story that grabs you by the lapels at the start and keeps your interest all the way through. The message of Battlestar Galactica - this has all happened before - is presented here in a way that will keep you listening till the end.
The narrator is really wonderful - providing difference cadences and voices which help you differentiate characters and plot lines easily.
Just one historical note. 50 years ago a book could be published with the expectation that the general public would have enough knowledge of Latin as a language to understand phrases without complete interpretation. What does it say about our educational system that this could never be the case today?
"Not what I expected, but worth reading"
I found myself thinking about Ecclesiastes 11: 1-11 many times throughout this novel.
"Is there anything of which one can say,
'Look! This is something new'?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them."
The author has created a book that seems to me to be based on the supposition: "what if?", or "maybe, like this...", and then proceeds to connect the dots in an interesting, albeit dialogue-filled and character-driven chronology. The book displays characters that have a 'true faith' in their beliefs while at the same time allows for some (perhaps justifiable) speculation, although they flirt closely with some heresy at times. I was myself amused at how important Leibowitz had become to the story, especially when his former life is mentioned in passing as it related to the story. Less focus was placed on Jesus by the monks in the story (maybe intentionally?) although they did mention Jesus as Messiah when speaking about him, which must be taken into account.
I found myself shaking hands with the author, while at the same time keeping him at arms length. It is such a unique book, one that presents ideas I may have even accidentally thought about before. I wondered that no one had written something like it before.
Not what I expected, but worth reading
"Three stories in one and no climax"
Religion persists along side mythology not very dystopian. It sounds very 1950's culturally. Not even one strong protagonist the only up side was the narrator.
"not as good as I remembered. I think I was 12.
in 1964. this seemed profound. now jejune . it has not aged well.
have I
"And the world goes on"
A cyclical story of a post apocalyptic Renaissance. difficult to read at the beginning but picked up by the end.
"Classic SF Hugo winner"
I know this book is one of the most acclaimed novels that SF has to offer, but it just didn't work for me. I was really involved in the story at first, but when the main characters changed and the action jumped forward several hundred years, it just lost me. I know this is a fix-up novel and many people have enjoyed it as such, it just was not my cup of tea. I found the first third of the book to be engaging and when everything switched I just lost interest. I finished reading it for posterity sake, to make sure that I wasn't missing anything, but I kind of wish I hadn't.
"Not what I had expected or hoped for."
This is one of those books that has been on my reading list for a very long time. Unfortunately, it's one that I will not ever have any desire to re-listen/read. I grant that maybe I don't fully understand it. I will endeavor to do some research and read analyses to see if there's something I can glean.
"Must Read Classic"
I do not know why it took so long for me to actually listen to this book, as it has been on my "to read" list for decades. It is a wonderful and thoughtful story (3 actually) that asks tough questions and will cause you to rethink your opinions on some weighty matters.
It is a product of it's time (late 1950's) but is still relevant today. It is a great book to read with a group due to the discussions the book generates. Highly recommend to all!
"Very Badly Read"
A good reader was needed. Mr Weiner read it with as much feeling as reading as if it was a Seed Catalogue.
Almost everything was wrong. He had no expression in his voice nor was he able to differentiate between characters in the book for the listener. He spoilt a very good novel.
This is a book I enjoyed immensely some years ago. I was looking forward to hearing it as an audio cd. It is a great Sci Fi Novel.
I am so disappointed that a very good novel, one I had enjoyed reading in the past, was spoilt by very bad reading. Lesson to be learnt - always hear a sample before you buy.
"really enjoyed this."
really enjoyed this. ment to be the inspiration for the fallout franchise and you can really see it.
"Dear oh dear."
If it had never been written
Yep, dreadful book.
The lot!
I'm probably far to unkind about this book, but honestly I was expecting something to happen and I don't think it ever did.
"Great Writing and Perfect Narration"
This is the story of Earth, North America specifically, after a future war and how civilisation might shape and rebuild itself in its aftermath. It is told from the perspective of the occupants of a religious monastery over incremental periods of time, stretching many hundreds of years, starting in a pre-technological age and progressing to a highly industrial society. Sure, there is a close enough similarity between this fictional advancement as recounted by the author and what really occurred in our own history, with Mr Miller providing some rationalisation in respect of the good and the bad that befall the main characters.
I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this book, other than it came highly recommended, and noting that it was published in 1959. What the reader gets is a witty, gripping, fast paced novel; a real page-turner that is perfectly narrated. Certainly, the author's own religious beliefs and political opinions leak through at certain points, but not in a heavy-handed way. Although the sequel to this book, written 36-years later mind you, has not been received as warmly, I thoroughly recommend A Canticle for Leibowitz to anyone seeking light, enjoyable entertainment.
"Disappointing and dated"
This book is three loosely related short stories jammed together fairly roughly (which is historical fact, not my opinion). The tone of the stories is rather ponderous, which does not make for interesting or lively listening.
It IS an interesting artefact of Sci Fi history... as a post nuclear apocalypse tale from the late 1950s. My Latin is actually quite good, but not adequate to understand much of the Latin statements in the book when spoken (as opposed to seen).
"Loved it"
It was the first one I downloaded with my initial free credit and it is still the best I've listened to.
Any of those genre of sci-fi books that I call post-apocalytica. So Earth Abides by George R. Stweart or I Am Legend by Richard Matheson but also future history novels like H.G. Wells the time machine or Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon.
I haven't heard anything else he's done but I would certainly like to.
The end of brother Francis' story made me gasp.
I love this book. Despite spanning many centuries and dealing with big issues, it manages to be about individual characters wants and needs. One of those rare Sci-Fi pieces that combines the cerebral with the personal successfully.
"Those who don't learn from histories mistakes"
Original, cautionary and brave
I liked the unusual fact that this story doesn't take place during one setting but over a period of time thats set in the future but features settings that can be considered ancient, medieval and futuristic. In some ways its tragic but talks about human nature in a way that often makes people uncomfortable.
I think its refreshing to find a book in a sci-fi setting that incorporates sincere religious belief not just as a feature but as a central tenant to the novel.
"The Best Author Ever."
I've listened to it several times and have even about a copy of the book. This book is a poem to the circular nature of humanity. A prophetic testament to our desire to control the cataclysmic power of physics and its inevitable triumph over us.
"A true sci-fi great"
Walter Miller's Canticle for Leibowitz stands as tall as anything produced by Arthur C. Clarke or Azimov. The post description of post-deluge America and the reconstruction of education draws on obvious historical parallels. It also points out the church's manipulative and controlling attitude by seeking to rule through fear; much as it did in the middle ages. A great novel, full of allegory and meaning (and some humour!)
Highly recommended.
"Over hyped"
I went into this Audiobook thinking I was in for a real treat. In reality I found it incredibly slow and difficult going. It is a very interesting concept and I can understand why so many people rate it highly. However, I would suggest that you don't raise your expectations too high, as you may then get more out of it than I did.

Parisienne (cigarette)
A package of Parisienne Jaunes with the German warning message "Smoking can kill"
|Product type
|Produced by
|British American Tobacco
Parisienne is a brand of cigarette owned by British American Tobacco manufactured in Boncourt, Switzerland.
Parisienne is one of the most popular cigarette brands in Switzerland. Despite its level of popularity, both domestically and internationally, the brand is very rare outside Switzerland, though it is sold in Austria.
Though Parisienne Jaune is the most widely bought kind, the cigarettes come in the following varieties of increasing strength: Ciel, Orange, Bleue, Verte, Jaune, Noire, Super. The brand is also sold as rolling tobacco.[1]
Parisienne People[edit]
The brand was originally called Parisienne People. In the late 1990s, a number of internationally renowned film directors, including Jean-Luc Godard, David Lynch, Emir Kusturica and the Coen Brothers, created advertisements for the brand under the old name. These shorts were shown in cinemas across Switzerland before the film trailers.[2] The directors were given free rein with the adverts and the directorial style of each can clearly be distinguished in their respective shorts.[3]
