The EU-sponsored Cartoon Forum has been a launching pad for many successful European partnerships, but is it serving its participants by excluding the rest of the world?
Between September 18 and 20, 600 professionals from the production, broadcasting and finance sides of Europe's animation business will descend on the French town of Arles for the seventh annual Cartoon Forum.
The Forum, a three-day screening opportunity for previously unseen animation, is part of the European Union's media program and is restricted to European companies. As such, it has acquired critics who argue that the exclusion of potential partners from North America and Japan fails to reflect the reality of the international co-production arena.
Cartoon Forum coordinator Yolanda Hornman is adamant, however, that these restrictions are unlikely to change. 'The purpose is to encourage producers to look for financing within Europe and repatriate work that might otherwise be done in regions such as the Far East.'
This year, 75 projects will be on show and each must be a European co-production supported by a thorough dossier and sponsored by a broadcaster. And due to a recent imposition of more stringent budgets by the EU, numbers are tightly controlled. Hornman estimates that there will be about 100 investors and 120 broadcasters attending who should have money to spend. 'We don't just let anyone come in.'
Hornman claims that the Forum has given birth to numerous successful animation productions and that, just as importantly, it has dramatically decreased the length of time from conception to production. Last year's Forum in Galway presented 67 projects, of which 19 secured short-term funding.
According to Theresa Plummer-Andrews, head of children's acquisitions and creative development at the BBC, 'Cartoon's value is that small independent producers get the sort of access to broadcasters that they normally wouldn't. At MIPCOM, we are running around like lunatics trying to talk to the big companies.'
Undoubtedly, one of the most successful companies at the Forum in past years has been German producer TFC Trickompany, which will bring Cairo Cop and Harlequin & Co. to this year's event. TFC's head of development, Stephan Schesch, says that it is the best specialized market for animation. 'It's very exclusive and intensive, not like MIP-TV and MIPCOM. It is an opportunity to market-test. If you do a good pitch, people talk about it for ages afterwards.'
TFC's run of success began two years ago with the animated series Loggerheads, which attracted a substantial audience of 160 at its Forum screening. Subsequent interest enabled the series to go into production for Germany's Pro 7 network, which will broadcast it in October.
Last year, TFC also received financial commitments for two new projects, Max and Moritz and Nick and Perry: Alien Dogs. 'Nick and Perry is a co-production with our long-standing French partner Ellipse,' says Schesch. 'It received backing from Germany's WDR [and] German subsidy money, and it will be broadcast in France on France 3.'
Schesch regards the exclusion of non-Europeans as crazy. In the unrestricted world outside the Forum, North American partnerships are crucial for TFC. In the case of Max and Moritz, Germany's ZDF is the lead broadcaster, but the project now has a Canadian co-producer.
Schesch's view is not unanimously accepted. 'The main aim for a producer should be to get a European broadcaster on board,' says the BBC's Plummer-Andrews. 'Then they have something to take to the U.S. or Japan. If the Americans came, it would be like a mini-MIP.'
Gaumont Multimedia president Marc du Pontavice is also skeptical that non-European involvement would make for a better Forum. 'If the Americans and Japanese want to come as investors, then fine. But I wouldn't want to see them present programs. The U.S. already has most of the European market.'
Gaumont Multimedia is attending Cartoon for the first time with a pilot for the preschool show Tune of the Moon. Shortly afterwards, the show will be heavily promoted at MIPCOM Jr. 'In the past, our productions were either too offbeat or too commercial for Cartoon,' says du Pontavice. 'It was also a little too close to MIPCOM.' With this show, however, Gaumont is entering a new arena with Tune of the Moon. 'We have a strong concept, but we don't pretend to be experts. Cartoon has a lots of state broadcasters who have experience in preschool,' he says.
Link Licensing's managing director Claire Derry, who had success at last year's Forum with a U.K. commission for Hibbert Ralph's First Snow of Winter and a presale negotiation in Germany, remains a keen supporter of the event, but she feels that non-European involvement would be an asset. 'The U.S. has a lot to teach us,' she says.
While the debate over who should participate continues, the Forum pushes forward with its same mandate. And while that may exclude some of the big players, it does open the door for some unexpected surprises. 'Even with the least commercial projects, you can look at them and sometimes see something in them,' says Plummer-Andrews. 'It is a valuable European initiative.'

Over 20 years ago Paul Gross and Norman Leavitt wrote Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and Its Quarrels with Science. To me the book was revelatory and a shock; my own experience with "anti-science" was mostly with Creationists. This was only a few years before the Sokal affair.
In the wake of that it seems that the excesses of the "post modern" Left receded. When you review the "science wars" it is also notable that it is an elite affair, with a strong French inflection (Sokal's book Fashionable Nonsense was actually originally published in French!).
With the rise of "big science" like the Human Genome Project the fuss about social constructionism in science seemed a bit silly. Onward and upward!
But change is in the air. There is a "new Sokal affair," A new academic hoax: a bogus paper on "the conceptual penis" gets published in a "high quality peer-reviewed" social science journal. The abstract goes like so:
Anatomical penises may exist, but as pre-operative transgendered women also have anatomical penises, the penis vis-à-vis maleness is an incoherent construct. We argue that the conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity. Through detailed poststructuralist discursive criticism and the example of climate change, this paper will challenge the prevailing and damaging social trope that penises are best understood as the male sexual organ and reassign it a more fitting role as a type of masculine performance.
The whole paper is pretty amusing.
First, I have to admit that this is not equivalent to the Sokal Affair, because the journal is far less reputable than Social Text. Part of the story are lower standards in academic publishing, and the fact that "peer review" is a lot sloppier and error prone that many in the general public think. The authors made up citations, and the peers did not catch them.
Another element of this may be that these sorts of fields are so diffuse that it's hard to get good peers who understand what you are saying. One reason specialist journals of reasonable prestige get good peer reviews is that the reviewers work in basically the same field. You can't make up citations in that situation.
But ultimately the fact that people like Jerry Coyne are promoting this also highlights that twenty years after Alan Sokal's hoax the science wars were not won. The problem with the tactics of the social constructionists in the 1990s is that they were too showy and swung for the fences. Over the past twenty years the way that this sort of constructionist narrative has succeeded is that first it has to colonize and dominate disciplines outside of science, and then leverage progressive causes which scientists on the whole are onboard with in any case. Instead of undercutting science, the new tactic is to be pro-science rhetorically, but to constraint and delimit. Accept the idea of scientific reality, but simply demand it conform to your one's own preferences (this by the seems to be the stance of Creationists).

Subject: The Fourth King Arc III - Part I
Wed Dec 14, 2016 2:07 am
The Seraph's shoulder crushed against the vision-less wall, his upper and middle right wings bearing most of the impact. His hands grasping at air for a handle to stabilize himself.
An audible crunch as the bones shattered, leaving the limbs now flightless and dangling as he fell to the floor, shakily managing to land on his feet.
Another crash-- followed by a violent utterance that rang throughout the boy's ears as if they were his own dying screams. This time, it was not his bones that were torn to pieces, but pieces of glass. Corren Astius Gray gripped the handle of his completely transparent shield with pained force, as he felt the heavy boots stomp onto the flat of his glass broadsword. Its screaming shatter rang throughout his ears with an emotion only his body could feel.
-We've each been given our duties-
Corren placed his right foot forward and placed his elbow on the surface to put enough pressure to force leverage upward, allowing him to stand. He inhaled a heavy breath that expanded his lungs and held it in his chest. With a quick flicker of his eyes, he reviewed the task at hand. He fluttered a wing, expanding his senses of the temporal plane to further enhance his actions.
Corren exhaled, letting the breath slowly escape his lips as his mind exchanged dues with reality.
Dressed in light, fitting garbs, Corren was outfitted for a dexterous battle. The white wrappings held his clothing in place at each of the joints of his wrists, knees, elbows, ankles, shoulders, and neck. His heavy cloak lie in tatters some miles away and his hood ripped from his neck. What would have given a rogue-like feel, the bright white shade made him look more grand and spectacular than anything.
Directly across from him lie the remains of his weapon-- a thin broadsword composed entirely of perfectly layered glass. Beyond that, a tall and lanky man lifted his boot from the glass shards, pieces falling to the translucent floor with little clangs of Corren's sentimental pain.
-And by due loyalty to a true king-
. Corren's voice sounded rough, yet the obvious strain was hidden by his typical cynical malice.
The man responded, sounding earnest in his inquiry.
-This duty is mine-
"Fuck off".
Exsolus grimaced.
"I feel as though we have this exchange each and every time I see you, Corren".
With a shrug, the Seraph offered his agreement.
"It's testament to tradition. My tribute to you, oh good "king"".
The enigma of a man smiled, followed by an amused chuckle.
"I've been careful not to spill any blood, Corren. However, depending on how much longer you'd like to keep your foot in my path, I cannot promise you will keep it attached to your body."
Excul tilted his head a little.
"That was pretty easy to comprehend".
"Your style of speech is worse than Sev's".
A missile of thin, hazy light jettisoned across the stars ardent fervor. The clouds split apart in make-way as the projectile flew, simulating the masses of peasants making way for their noble king's horse. Unbeknownst to the world below, a little Seraph rocketed through the night sky. Blythe wrapped herself in a blanket of fluffy vapor, covering her bare legs and arms with cotton-like clouds for protection against the sky elements. The ends of her long shirt and swimming shorts flapped in the wind and her violet hair plastered across her face due to sheer velocity. She bat her wings once—twice, and continuously enough to strain the muscles in her back to the point of further exhaustion.
The winds howled inside of her ears, screaming warnings of the ticking clock, its hands ticking ever dutifully toward the ending mark. Muffling the wailing winds was a choice Blythe decided against. She could cover her head with soft clouds, but doing so would hinder her hearing, as she would need every one of her six senses to arrive back home in time. And alive. Despite the state of seclusion the vast skies offered, there were dangers in the night sky that would see her wings clipped and her flesh torn. Sometimes horrors lie not just in the ocean depths, or the forests and caves, but in the clear, open skies where only the strongest could fly.
-I have to get back to Sanc..-
The sky had just cleared in front of her, offering an exit from the funnel of clouds she traveled through. Blythe could feel the chilled air seeping through her clouds and string her skin through her clothing. A mix of exhilaration and excitement fused with a creeping sense of desperate dread. Just as she broke the layer of cloud mass, the scouting Seraph flew right into the midst of a thick aura comprised magic that ascended from the world below. It drifted upward like a heatwave, mixing together with the rising blood mist of death and decay. It felt sticky and clingy, as if the hands of slain souls gripped at her skin in an attempt to anchor themselves to this world, desperate to stop themselves drifting off into the heavens. She shuddered. With the magic of a Seraph, she wrapped the clouds tighter around her small frame as she allowed herself a small peek to the land below.
Thousands upon thousands of lives being ripped from their bodies in such a horrible display of torment, their souls wafting through the air, lost and afraid. No matter what, Blythe would return to Sanc and deliver her scouting report to ensure the King of Heroes had every advantage possible if the Regnum empire expanded their invasion. Although Sanc had been ordained itself to stay outside of the fighting, there was still ever the possibility..
And Blythe was falling. She struggled for a moment to catch her breath, but her attempt to bat her wings left her with a sense of numbness.
Falling a million feet to the earth below, falling a million feet into an ocean of bodies and weapons and magic and violence. She let out a noise that sounded something like "eep!"
"Not now! Why now?!"
She shouted behind her, batting a weak hand at the damp feathers that shaped her wings of vapor. The compression relief magic, which had created cushioning clouds to wrap the joints of her six wings, had worn thin and popped under pressure. Blythe's wings had always been weaker and allowed minimal stamina use, but the cushions had allowed her wings to push past that weakness. She cursed and bid her wings to move but to no avail, her feeble attempts met only the sound of feathers caressing the air in what sounded like mocking laughter. Already, the aching pain she was long due for had begun to sink into her muscles. The skin would begin to sear like fire and the tendons would quickly begin to rip themselves apart by even the slightest movement.
Blythe tossed her head backwards to see how close to the ground she was-- and screamed as she slammed into something on a horse.
Iivae of the Fifth Company army, lady baroness and general of the Regnum fifth regiment, had only half a second's warning in the form of a scream before she was smashed into oblivion by a fluffy mess of cotton and white clouds. She tumbled through a mess of grass, feeling the mud marsh splash onto her as she rolled across the surface, half-bundled in cotton and a mess of limbs.
Jiu blinked once and turned his head. He saw a carved out pathway of smeared mud, grass, and littered with white fluff. Almost a hundred feet away, his sister lie face down in the mud, and another girl weakly attempting up on shaky legs, draped in six dead-looking wings.
He urged his steed off the path and began a slow trot over to where his sister lie. He instructed his company halt.
Iivae quickly regained consciousness, her body aching and screaming a chorus of cuts, bruises, and oddly enough, softness.
She lifted herself upward onto her elbows and pulled her feet in. She shot upward and standing, ignoring the mud that fell from her long dreadlocks and spitting grass from her mouth. It tasted awful.
The general felt something rest on her shoulder. Expecting Jiu, she saw a hand that was thinner and lighter than her brother's dark skin and masculine structure. She turned her head the other way; her brother was still a few feet away on his horse, looking taken back if not amused. The general of the Regnum army turned back to the hand on her shoulder, and followed its length to find a face turned away from her. A young woman with short violet hair was the owner, using Iivae's shoulder as leverage as the Seraph girl batted mud out of her sandal before putting it back on. She looked absolutely miserable.
"Thank you for that"
She croaked, her soft silken hair falling between her eyes.
"Sorry for hitting you, but you made the impact much easier. Are you okay?"
The Seraph girl attempted put away her wings, but winced as they refused to respond. She tried once more as Iivae simply stared, and she let out a sharp cry of pain.
-One of them is broken-
Iivae thought, and the fact she even had such a thought surprised her. What was this thing doing here?
With a reluctant grunt, the Seraph girl mimed a hand gesture to cast her magic. Her wings visibly vanished into puffs of smoke. She was perfectly clean and unharmed without a scratch on her aside from the broken wing, but she leaned forward with a hand on her hip, crying a little bit. Iivae's face held stoic.
"No, I'm.. ..Where is Sanc? I mean, what direction? I don't know exactly where I landed.."
She seemed dazed, but Iivae did not care.
she repeated her bid for this thing's attention, putting more force into the order.
The Seraph pinched her face together, and the tears were flowing more openly. Either this girl was feeble waste or there was much more wrong with her than initially shown.
"Do you know where I am?"
Iivae threw a nuclear fist into the girl's stomach with one move. Most of the impact was taken by a cushion of cotton clouds, but it was enough to throw the girl backwards. Her legs shook as she held, but promptly doubled over as her lungs shot up blood through a fit of coughing. She fell to the ground and careened onto her side as she moaned.
Blythe's head was a mess of pain and horror. The woman's punch had caused an audible crack inside of her body that rang throughout her ears. It made her think of a smashed watermelon and the thought of that coming from inside her was sickening. It was hard to breathe now.., and her body spasmed as if shivering. Her stomach was revolting with heavy lurches as blood vomited from her throat. Her Fyre enhanced clouds were designed to nullify momentum and force, allowing her to land at insane speeds and take off without any pressure. Extreme momentum buffering through heavy clouds infused with Fyre. Enough magic to stop a thirty thousand foot drop without a single mark of damage.
But they had been shattered?
Iivae tightened her steel gauntlet, throwing her dreadlocks to the side with a toss of her head.
"Seraph girl, you have enacted upon the providence of the Regnum army. You have assaulted an officer of force and therefore, you shall be met with force in kind".
She began strolling toward the Seraph, sauntering with a lethal silence.
her brother, general Jiu, called to her.
"That girl is fron Sanc? Wouldn't it be best if we refrain from incurring the wrath of the Glacial Dragon at this current moment in time?"
Without losing her pace, Iivae continued forward until she reached the squirming body of the little Seraph girl. She was barely moving, but breathing very hard.
"I will take responsibility for this unfortunate accident."
General Iivae formed a fist, the tightly compressed air wrapping around it. She dropped to a knee and threw her full force toward the Seraph girl's temple.
--- 36 hours later ---
"It is done."
A blare of noise like wind through a hollow shell.
A heavy
and both men dropped their arms. A feeling of heavy exhaustion beginning to seep into their bodies. Hex Ender rubbed at his wrists, the dull throb in his arms and chest spoke volumes about the strain being placed on his Magick veins. After two seconds the Devoid allowed as rest, he turned his glance to the Fourth King. Unlike Hex Ender, who showed no sign of tiring, the Fourth King faced the wall, leaning forward in the slightest hunch as his breathing became heavy. Sweat gleamed his brow, pasting his golden hair across his forehead. Without the crown, the Fourth King looked as young as he truly is instead of his normal, permanent aura of authority and command.
Hex Ender dare not say a word of concern, lest he provoke the King in his fragile mentality. Instead, he proceeded with business as usual.
"The Gates should open soon. Let us rest a spell and head to the penultimate Realm"
. The Fourth King nodded in agreement, surely savoring every and any chance to rest in between.
"In only a few moments, the Gates of Heaven will have opened. We finish this task tonight."
Hex Ender did not respond. Not that he needed to as there was no topic up for discussion. In honesty, Ender felt as though the Fourth King would not be able to withstand another trial of opening one of the Seven Realms. The toll on his body had become greater than anticipated without the crown.
Five of the Seven Realms now lie open. To the North, the Dark Door remains in a state of propagation just outside its own door, slowly readying to prepare its reach outward with shadowy darkness. Hell itself remains with its gate open but the doorway shut. Like Heaven, which was just now opened, and Purgatory, these three realms contain civilizations inside of them. Hell contained the cities of Gehenna, Purgatory had the Silver Lining settlement, and Heaven the City of Angels. Once their Gateways had been opened to the Realm itself, those cities become shut down and none would be able to enter or exit. The only quizzical matter was the Guardian. Opening the Gates held no resistance and the Guardian was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they fled to preserve their own life? It was curious.
A heavy rumble. It shook the foundation of the mountain summit, inquiring to an earthquake? Hex Ender and the Fourth King remained motionless as the stone building began to crumble and shatter around them, a chorus of cracked stone making way to an orchestra of howling blizzards outside the castle.
The feathers that litter the floor like grains of sand in a desert shook and tumbled across, leaving tiny traces of smeared blood as they moved, collecting around the twisted slumps of meat that pile along the corners. Near them, a cloaked Sev stood as motionless as the Angelic corpses at his feet.
Hex Ender withheld a grimace. Forcing a Devoid of all creatures to inhabit an emotion was enough to speak volumes, but he remained silent. But the chills down his spine and the goosebumps on his arms were enough to send the message.
"We make for the Light".
Zechs Renaurd stood squarely in the tall grass, gently tapping the sheath of Arondight with his index finger. The cool steel pommel gave his senses a feeling of familiar comfort. Looking over the massive sea of tall grass and plains, he could only see war. An eternal struggle of power and magic, powered by the emotions and feelings and wills of a million souls that reach for blood and gold with everything that they are. Looking out here.. he could only be reminded of his past.
Images of faces long past ran through his mind; the memories swimming on the brink of his thoughts. The clasp of forearms with friends, the clash of swords on black steel and flame. The determination of his brothers and sisters in arms working as one.
Zechs wondered how they were all doing.
He turned himself around to survey the Sanc forces. A titanic army of men, women, and otherwise of all varying races and ethnicity, giving off the appearance of a poorly trained farm militia. However, the Sanc Mercenaries are well known for their ability-- capable of going toe-to-toe with even the Concuclare armies in the past who were once known as the greatest force on earth. Rows upon rows of mercenaries stood bunched together, as close as they possibly could. The rain made it damp and humid as the body heat of thousands of soldiers exuded a mist. For the warping to work, it was necessary.
It had been several hours since his scouts had been dispatched and all had return spare one. Each of his scouting force held their own strengths, and the one who had yet to return was considered to be the fastest. For her to be late was unfortunate as well as worrying.
"We have waited long enough, sire"
spoke Cedric, the king's "adviser". However, most of his advising came in the form of bad puns so painful, it was a wonder to many why the Paradigm was not drawn and quartered. Still, he was capable enough a partner on the battlefield.
Zechs pursed his lips and considered his options.
-Blythe has not returned.. It would be risky to engage the Regnum forces without her report as it may contain critical information. ..However, there has never been a better opportunity for an assault than right now. The Regnum forces are completely oblivious to our presence, plus Gwynn and Gwen are standing by..-
Zechs Renaurd gave a jerk of his head to cast his eyes upward.
-Unless.. She was captured. In which case, she might already be lost, or perhaps tortured. It's very possible for her to give up information under that kind of stress-
The Mercenary King squared his shoulders and pulled Arondight tightly into his grip. There wasn't much of a choice in that case.
"Cedric, we're going"
"Very good, king Renaurd"
The storm Paradigm smiled in silent approval, offering a dip of his head.
"Shall I inform the twins?"
"Yes, as fast as possible. I'm going to fire the signal. We have thirty seconds until impact. Be ready."
"Always am, sire."
With that, Zechs unsheathed Arondight from its pure frost casing and thrust it into the earth. A geyser of white ice fired into the air with precise force and quickly dissolved into a shower of snow. With the signal fired, a sense of calm began to fall over the Sanc army.
Twenty nine
And so the world itself fell several degrees colder as Zechs Renaurd prepared to enter the war, with all the forces of kingdom Sanc at his sides.
"This isn't a war."
Sumaru Amaya thrust his black blade through the knee of an oncoming Regnum axeman, firing a blast of spiteful Darkness into his face which promptly removed it. In the same motion, he struck outward and in an arc with a fist to catch the temple of a nearby Vampire who had wandered too close, expecting an ally when there was only death. He whipped his body in a one-eighty to slash the creature's throat as his sword slid from the corpse of the previous soldier.
"It's a fucking massacre."
After the fall of his friends, the Vampire boy wandered into the fray of the battleground. After several days of consecutive battle, he had accumulated an impressive display of wounds, each of them empowering his Pain-filled limbs, which only further enabled him to meet out his goal.
The Regnum generals lie to the south of the field, but none of them mattered to him. The Vampire council lie to the far north in the trees. After what Trenner had told him, he had considered slaying them all. However, in the face of his current goal, he didn't give a damn about those worthless cowards.
"It's been long enough"
Sumaru informed the solder who was now choking on his own blood after Sumaru had pierced his throat. The soldier toppled over and quickly became a corpse. Or perhaps the medics made it to him. It didn't matter in the slightest.
"I have waited long enough, and if I have to wait any longer, I am going to kill all of you."
However, the endless masses did not respond. There was no assurance to comfort him, nor anybody at his side to give him an answer. He was alone, as he used to be. And this time, there would be no moving forward. No more light to look after. Sumaru let out a pained sigh as a spear pieced his side and drew blood.
He just wanted to die.
The Sanc Mercenary company stood with perfect and utter stoic, their silence louder than any battle cry. Not even clanks of armor broke the layer of quiet.
The King himself, Zechs Renaurd, need not say a word. No shouts of rallying, no impressions of victory. He stood with his sword gripped in both hands, blade sunk into the ground. His cape of white fluttering in the slight breeze.
The forces of Sanc were practiced, seasoned mercenaries who know the code of their work. They were here to do a job, and they would be putting their pride on the line to see it done.
A click from far away, followed by the sound of steel sliding against steel and a chamber loaded.
A long fire of flintlock design, ornately decorated with thirteen silver chambers on a revolving chamber with precision craftsmanship, aimed upward, and the trigger fired. However, no sound was made as the flickering emerald projectile was launched. It continued to grow as it flew into the sky, quickly arcing toward the endless fighting a little over a mile away. It offered a dull light, but continued to grow even as it entered the clouds.
The dirt at his feet began to glow. The surrounding earth shimmered with a pale, cherry light that quickly changed to lilac.
The light became more intense, almost blinding as it illuminated the area, covering every single inch of his body and those of the army behind him.
An audible pop, and the world around them was cast into silence.
Ten-thousand, four hundred, and twenty five mercenaries then appeared on the battlefield. No noise, no light, no warning. An entire armada in the blink of an eye some six feet off the ground, quickly dropped to the earth, as if they had been standing on a platform that was been pulled out of under them. And in that instant, nobody had noticed that ten-thousand, four hundred, and twenty five new soldiers clad in white and iron had just entered the war.
None of the opposing soldiers knew, because none of them could tell. Even as the Sanc army hastily got to work with dispatching the Regnum forces, there were no shouts or cries, no rallying trumpets or roars of defiance.
There was only silence.
As blades clashed and bodies fell. As magic flew and lives were lost. Absolutely nothing made a sound. Zechs freed his way from two startled soldiers. In an instant, one was frozen to the core and the other was on the ground. Dead or unconscious, he did now know. The king himself wrapped his left arm with permafrost in the shape of a dragon's maw and kept it as his bulwark as he sprinted further into the Regnum lines.
What in the hell?
Sumaru Amaya jerked back in surprise as he found his voice no longer working. The motion had saved his life, as an arrow whizzed by where his head was a moment ago before the lack of noise startled him. He blinked. It wasn't just him.. Everything happening was silent. He watched the battle for a moment to survey it. A large portion of the fighting had slowed from beast-like assaults to confused dances of attack and defense as many attempted to gauge the situation. Others, too far gone into their bloodlust, ignored the phenomena completely and continued their rampage. After a few seconds, he returned to battle. But.. Something was clearly different to him. There were more soldiers now. Many more soldiers. Had Regnum called reinforcements?
..No, these soldiers were dressed differently. They were dressed in white. Sumaru felt a chill in the air, and as if the world had answered him, it was at that moment he knew exactly what was going on.
The Dragon of Glaciers had arrived.
I've waited long enough.. I can't wait any longer, you know. This is a sign, right? I'll be sure to follow it
With a light step forward, Sumaru wrapped himself with shadows and began his path toward a dragon who need slaying. He was, afterall, the Dragonslayer.
Right, Six?
A heavy groan of strained wood as if a massive tree had been ripped from its roots.
"And with that, it is done".
A heavy sigh of magic breathed throughout the domain of Light, a thick membrane of its energy visible and felt only to those with its affinity. The two men had been hard at work and their task was beginning to end.
"We've the Ether remaining. You swear the Seventh will crumble under the weight of the other Realms?".
Hex Ender nodded, dipping his head slightly lower as he did-- as per abiding by his position.
"Of course. With the Guardian dead and vanishing, there is nothing to keep the gates closed. Once we've finished here, I'll make it a point to find whoever is responsible for the assistance and give them their due".
The Fourth King nodded slowly.
"We've been lucky. Almost impossibly so. The Guardian of the Seventh Plane dead to an unknown rogue before our escapade even began, and the Guardian of the Dark Door fallen to another faceless warrior".
Ender lifted his foot in an elongated step to avoid stepping in a puddle.
"Most odd of all, my lord, is the absence of the Guardian of Light. Although her magic is frail, she is said to have the most potent barrier ever conceived. Next to the late Xixas Averall, I felt as though the Light sentinel would be near impossible to take".
"Impossible luck indeed.."
the King's voice trailed off in contemplation.
A pressure, warm and wet, pushed against the king's legging. The thick liquid began to seep into the cloth as the body pushed against him. With a disgusted kick, he removed the corpse and sneered at it.
"What a vile disposition".
His index finger tapped his belt and a tendril of magic snaked downward. In an instant, the bright crimson liquid was torn his the cloth as if filtered and removed, dropping onto the floor some feet away with a splatter.
Hex Ender shot a hesitant glance at his king, keeping the worry that had begun to paint his skin veiled. It took a moment's consideration to avoid asking the Fourth King--
- "How much was left?"-
But fervently decided against it. With a turn of his head, he then attempted to keep vision of the titanic creature in the corner, casting it a warning glance for the millionth time. It stood as still as stone and its silence spoke of death louder than any warrior. The thick feathered cloak wafted through the permeating blood as if it were nothing, staining the underline feathers. Its body like steel and the draping cloak like a flagship, heralding lost eternities.
Put simply, Sev did not belong in this world.
As if programmed, this thing had annihilated the sentinel Chasers systematically and perfectly, condoning not even a chance at a flaw in its work.
"It is time we finish our list of tasks, Hex Ender. I will make for the battlefield. You take the Weddair and proceed to the Ether".
Ender's thoughts froze in their tracks.
"My lord?"
"It is time to set the world itself in motion. In order to display the truth of Regnum's existence, I must display my sovereign publically. We are the ones who set this stage, my retainer".
The Fourth King craned his head to smile at Ender, his features perfect, yet riddled with that obsessive sadism Ender had grown to know.
"It would be a shame not to perform the finale myself".
It hadn't taken long. Only a few minutes. At least, that's what it felt like. He didn't know anymore. The incredible pain that wracked his body had alienated his senses from the following of time. However, it did not matter. He could see the source of the cold, and he was right in front of him. As if waiting for him. Sumaru felt his bloody lips form into a smile as he began walking forward.
Zechs saw him, Sumaru knew. He watched him with minimal expression. Whatever he felt in the face of Sumaru, it was not fear.
I am done waiting. You will do, old
Sumaru sprinted forward with his katana ready, the pain in his legs allowing enhanced speed and the pain in his arms giving him great strength. He slashed forward and Zechs was there to meet him.
The opposition of two powers rang out. The controlled ice and the savage darkness; the elements raged against each other. Sumaru jabbed forward twice on either side, then letting out a heavy roar of darkness at the king's head. Zechs, however, fired the dragon's maw from his left arm, attached to a chain. It met the blast but was destroyed by the pure shadow, and Zechs hastily erected a barrier of ice to defend. Sumaru flanked around with a dash and leaped with sword extended. As if expecting it, Zechs had already stabbed Arondight downward to meet the attack. Sumaru barely avoided losing his head with a Pain empowered dodge and both of them allowed a single beat of passing time to gain their bearings.
This time, not to Sumaru's surprise, Zechs charged him with his sword in preparation for an attack. What appeared to be a simple assault was what lead into a technique Sumaru had seen long before. In times past when he had trained with the King of Sanc, there were almost no moves the mercenary had that would surprise Sumaru. Zechs slashed downward with an angled stab-- he knew it! Sumaru stepped back with his left foot to avoid the stab, and began pushing his right foot forward. He had seen this attack a thousand times before! He knew what came next. A splash of flash-freeze would be thrown at his left side, and Zechs would--
There was no splash at all.
Zechs leaned forward, completely letting go of his sword in the process and threw an open palm strike at Sumaru's face. It knocked him with a solid blow, and Sumaru felt his mind shake. Without missing a step, Zechs caught Arondight mid-fall with his left hand and swung it in a sideways arc as he twisted his body a full circle. The blade caught Sumaru square in the head as he was falling and.. The flat of the blade smacked him several feet away. Zechs let out a breath of effort and shot into the crowd of battle once again, but this time, with a level of speed almost invisible to the naked eye.
Sumaru's head was swimming with pain and anger.
He predicted.. my prediction..?
He was already in the final stage of Time Alter, but mislead me to believing he wasn't.
What's worse..
He gave me mercy. He let me live, only using the flat of his blade.
The bastard… That BASTARD.
With shaky legs, Sumaru forced himself to stand. Even in this shape, he managed to dispatch an assaulting Regnum soldier before gathering himself fully.
He felt, not only angry, but shamed.
It was stupid. He had done so much, come so far, let go of this world and demanded death to only those who could force it.. And he was given nothing but pity and dismissal.
He was so furious, he bit into his lip, drawing a gush of blood.
Sumaru was shamed, he was provoked and enraged.
He was so cold..
This world is bullshit. It's worthless to him and deserves to die.
It's also so, so cold…
But Sumaru was.. Feeling numb, and empty now. But most of all, he was just too cold.. Too cold..
And so, Sumaru decided, it would be a good idea to warm things up.
From the heart of Ire, I will regain everything.

I know there are some errors. I'll fix 'em when I post part 2.
And yes, there is a part two that is just as long, if not longer than this. So the full story 3 will be twice this size, or more. So. Yeah.

North Carolina lost to Iowa State 85-83 after a clock snafu in the final seconds led to an abrupt ending.
DeAndre Kane put the Cyclones up by two with 1.6 seconds left. On UNC's next possession, there were two clock issues that, after a lengthy review, cancelled each other out.
First, the clock didn't start when UNC's Nate Britt caught the ball on the inbounds pass. Then, when Britt called timeout near midcourt, the clock kept running for a few tenths of a second after the referee blew his whistle.
After a review, the referees decided that the 1.6 seconds would have expired if the clock had started on time, so they declared the game over.
Deadspin's Timothy Burke, who has a world-class video editing set-up, confirmed this assessment. He said on Twitter that 1.73 seconds elapsed between the time Britt caught the ball and the time the referee blew his whistle.
Notice the clock when Britt catches the ball:
It's still at 1.6 two dribbles later:
It looks like the right call:

Comments for "Logic analyzer application"
Hi Petteri, I'm just running your logic analyzer application now and it's working very nicely! Thanks for the heads-up about the HW bug in channels C+D, btw; I hadn't heard that elsewhere. Thanks for putting in the effort to write this. It's exciting getting into a platform that you know the majority of people won't have even heard of :) When I have more time I'd like to hack around a bit more with the Quad- My biggest disappointment with it is the slow refresh rate at >5ms. Cheers!
— Justin James Clayden on 20.02.2012 at 12:59 (UTC)
The HW bug is indeed a bit worrying; but it is difficult to say how easy it is to break the pins in reality. There is probably a replacement for the protection diode, which would also have lower capacitance and therefore increase the bandwidth of the digital channels. Fortunately quite many of the Quad's limitations are only in software. I think it is quite unique as an open source oscilloscope platform.
— Petteri Aimonen on 20.02.2012 at 13:21 (UTC)
Petteri thank you very much for your effort! I like your software. The programs are a great improvement for the DSO. Greetings from Germany Einhart
— Einhart on 26.04.2012 at 16:13 (UTC)
hey petteri, i just looked and it fairly easy to get a copy of icecube2 LEGALLY through they're website and the license is free just have to make a web account. just thought i might mention that, i dont know what the software's limits are but im downloading now and i hope to see that fpga code editing is enabled with free version
— Andrew Wawrzynowicz on 03.05.2012 at 20:27 (UTC)
Good news the free license does include fpga editing with the synplify pro which comes in the download!
— Andrew Wawrzynowicz on 03.05.2012 at 20:44 (UTC)
Yeah, after Lattice bought SiliconBlue a few months ago, iceCube2 has been free. And I even got it working :) Now the biggest trouble is loading alternate FPGA images without overwriting the original. I just haven't had the time to tackle it yet: http://www.seeedstudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3126
— Petteri Aimonen on 04.05.2012 at 05:34 (UTC)
think i found the orig fpga code http://code.google.com/p/source-ds203/source/browse/tags/APP251?spec=svn15&r=15#APP251%2FFPGA
— Andrew Wawrzynowicz on 09.05.2012 at 01:58 (UTC)
Yeah, that is the FPGA 2.5 source code.. which is useful but there exists also binary images of FPGA 2.61 which is less buggy. Here is the official repo: https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/DSOQuad_SourceCode
— Petteri Aimonen on 09.05.2012 at 07:50 (UTC)
Petteri, Thank you for this very informative site. I would like to install your logic analyser, but have an alternative user interface installed on that one. I was wondering if there is a version I could install on memory slot 2 or 4 instead of 3?
— Peter on 10.05.2012 at 14:23 (UTC)
Petteri, thank you for adding time measurements! The new clicking interface to start and terminate measurements is perfect. There are however some improvements needed to make the functionality even better. During longer scrolling does the value go out-of-screen. I see some kind of snapping to transitions while moving the cursor. Please make the time measurement snap also. I cannot see any reason to move the cursor back and forth over samples without transition.
— Johan on 01.07.2012 at 20:13 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot to thank You for the excellent work! This application has made the DSO much more useful to me. Regards!
— Johan on 01.07.2012 at 20:15 (UTC)
Hi, Petteri! Thanks a lot for so good application, it is amazing! But I have one problem... At very fast signals my DSO goes to red screen with buffer overflow error. Maybe you can fix this? Or it is problem with DSO buffer speed? Thanks
— Igor on 13.09.2012 at 09:34 (UTC)
@Igor So you get an error like "ADC fifo overflow"? Yeah, it's because processing the data takes too long. This could be avoided if the signal processing was on FPGA; the tools are freely available now so it's just a matter of me not having enough time :)
— Petteri Aimonen on 13.09.2012 at 11:04 (UTC)
Yes, ADC fifo overflow. Beleive you will have some time in future to fix that plz... Because I don't have enough skills for that) Thanks.
— Igor on 14.09.2012 at 10:38 (UTC)
@Igor Yeah, implementing custom FPGA code is not an easy task. I have working loader code, but I have another project I have to finish by the end of the month so no time to work on it atleast until that.
— Petteri Aimonen on 14.09.2012 at 10:42 (UTC)
Thanks for a great program ! This program does a lot more than the scope function of the Quad . Keep up the good work ! ( Channel selectable invert function would be welcome ... but not necessary ... but nice ! )
— Karstikko on 03.10.2012 at 09:21 (UTC)
Any progress on the FPGA code? , to solve the 3.6v max problem on the digital channels maybe rerouting pin 24 and 25 to (non connected) 26 and 73 pins on bank 1 and 2 that allow up to 5.5v is possible. but first we need to find the sources of FPGA 2.61 . You know a way to get them?
— nhede on 04.10.2012 at 19:10 (UTC)
Your application is really great! Do you now how precise it is? When I send a 1ms pulse it measures it as something about 976us at full zoom. If I zoom out, it gets worse, down to 600us. Is this a known issue? If you can tell me where this measurement is made, maybe I can help you solving the problem.
— Strahlex on 23.10.2012 at 17:54 (UTC)
@Strahlex It should be accurate up to the crystal precision (+- 50 parts per million or so). Please notice that the wiggly lines (http://essentialscrap.com/dsoquad/logic_collapse.png) only show the gap time, they are not an exact measurement between edges. Use the time measure tool (http://essentialscrap.com/dsoquad/logic_timemeasure.png) for accurate measurements.
— Petteri Aimonen on 23.10.2012 at 20:07 (UTC)
I got it, it shows the gap time. But, wouldn't it be great to add an option to show the time between the edges?
— @Petteri on 23.10.2012 at 22:00 (UTC)
good but i want more about logic analyser
— krish on 28.10.2012 at 08:52 (UTC)
Hi, Peterri That's a great app that I need it, but I can't install on my DSO. I copy the hex file without problem ( rdy ext) and when I try to load (third button at power-up) all I get is the logo and that's all. Is there an issue because my SYS is 1.50 Smtech 1.6 ? Any ideea ? I installed Pawn and all your apps and all is fine, but not the analyzer . Thanks for your time.
— Mike on 29.10.2012 at 17:22 (UTC)
I can't seem to get this to install on the most recent firmware. I just got it and it's hardware version 2.7, running system 1.52 and app 2.53. It worked back when I was running the older app version the device came with just fine but now the installer returns an error. And when I start pressing the third button it seems to load the old app version (I think it was 1.15 or something). Would love to be able to get it working again, I bought the scope partially cause of this app.
— Alex on 29.10.2012 at 22:33 (UTC)
@Alex Works for me, I have installed system 1.52 and app 1.03 on hardware 2.7. Is it possible that you have installed an app version for hardware 2.6? @Petteri Currently I'm working on improving the handling of the logic analyzer. How can I draw a menu (like in the original firmware) to the screen?
— Strahlex on 30.10.2012 at 10:57 (UTC)
@Strahlex I don't know what more to say than just "draw it" :) Basically, create a new Drawable class like the ones in the 'gui' folder. @Everyone having trouble Try this one, it prints some debug info: http://kapsi.fi/~jpa/stuff/other/LOGICTST.HEX
— Petteri Aimonen on 30.10.2012 at 12:12 (UTC)
Hi Petteri, I tried to reload hex from the link you give us above (LOGICTST.HEX) and same thing happened. My DSO displays the Logo, freezing & beeping and nothing else happend. I want to ask if you can put this hex as a file for downloading (zip or else), I suspect the code was altered on links you gave. Thank you again for your time.
— Mike on 30.10.2012 at 19:06 (UTC)
— Petteri Aimonen on 30.10.2012 at 19:14 (UTC)
Thank you very much for this great App and for your time. Now, I was able to run it, and it works like a charm. Now, my DSO is a useful tool, indeed. Mike...
— Mike on 31.10.2012 at 18:31 (UTC)
Great App, thanks, really intuitive. I tried to analyze a IR-Remote protocol, an spend an hour with the original firmware ... I did not get very far. With your app I spend about 5 minutes to examine the basic timing. I could think of some improvements in triggering, if I had some time ... Thanks again, keep on
— Andreas Gruen on 05.11.2012 at 20:02 (UTC)
@Andreas Gruen I'm interested to hear more: triggering, in what way? Currently I consider that for ease of use, it's great to have no triggering at all. Instead just compress any idle periods on display. I can see no added value from edge trigger modes. Pulse length trigger might be useful, but it could instead be replaced with filtering in the displayed waves. After you trigger, you can't change trigger settings without getting a new event; if you just filter, you can tune the filter as much as you want.
— Petteri Aimonen on 05.11.2012 at 20:21 (UTC)
Hi Petteri, This is just amazing! I've long been searching for the function of the logic analyzer. On top of everything else and so compact as dso203. But somehow I could not deal with the possibility of opening files VCP in GTKWave. Are there any tricks? When I open the save file it is blank on all channels. Thank you for your program!
— flameeagle on 09.02.2013 at 19:02 (UTC)
Hi Petteri, Came to understand the interface GTKWave. All is excellent! Thanks again for your hard work!
— flameeagle on 09.02.2013 at 19:06 (UTC)
Hi Petteri, You have done some awesome stuff with the frequency response app and the logic analyser app. I had a look at the USB protocol analyser, which you said is based on the logic analyser and using pawn for processing? I am thinking of CAN bus analysis, but have not looked that much into it (other than commercial things which are resonably pricey). It'd be great is this DSO could function as a CAN bus analyser as well as a CRO (for working on car stuff). Cheers, and I love your stuff! Owen.
— Owen on 12.06.2013 at 05:36 (UTC)
Hey Petteri, I wanted to use your logic analyser, but i would have to install it on button 2 because button 3 is already in use. How can i get a hex file that installs itself to button 2? Can you just make one or is that complicated? (I don't necessary know how to do much more than the copy to root action :/)
— Andreas on 14.09.2013 at 01:42 (UTC)
@Andreas Unfortunately, slot 2 is usually not free even if it appears so. The default application which is in slot 1, takes actually two slots.
— Petteri Aimonen on 14.09.2013 at 05:19 (UTC)
Hi Petteri The Logic Analyzer is a nice app. I have just loaded it on my DSO203 but I can not save either .bmp or the Buffer. I get a Hardware error. HARDFAULT I have Hardware version 2.72, SYS Ver 1.60 and App (Plus A1) Ver 1.10. DBUG Data Available on Request but if the Hardware and SYS has made the Logic Analyzer App inoperable not a problem. The display is nice and appears to work right. Ron
— Ron on 16.09.2013 at 15:59 (UTC)
I second Ron's results. Both SAVE and BMP buttons yield red-screens of hardfault. - I have a DSO203 MINI (from www.minidso.com): Hardware version V2.72, serial 9219A095, DS203 Mini DSO Sys Ver 1.60, DS203 Mini DSO App (Plus A1) Ver 1.10 - When pushing the BMP button I get: HARDFAULT SP: 2000BC68 PSP: 2000BC58 PC: 080227E4 LR: 080227C9 REGS: r0 00000001 | r1 08000BC9 r2 080001E5 | r3 00000030 | r12 00000030 SCB HFSR: 40000000 CFSR: 00008200 STACK DUMP: 00000001 08000BC9 080001E5 00000030 00000030 080227C9 080227E4 01000000 2000BDDC 0802096F 14F8B589 08020949 2000BCDC 2000BDDC 2000BCC4 0802096F 2000BCDC 0801F20F 2000BD30 2000BDDC 14F8B589 0801C6C5 2000BD0C 74697257 20676E69 65726373 68736E65 7420746F 0020206F 200098E8 00000000 0000000D Oh, and of course, very nice work!

For what its worth, I was running LOGIC03.HEX from http://koti.kapsi.fi/~jpa/dsoquad/#Logic%20Analyzer I see from here http://www.seeedstudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2861&start=70 that version 3 fixed a similar bug. -Steve
— Steve on 06.12.2013 at 06:27 (UTC)
Hi, I bought a DS203. I wanted to use it as a logic analyser. I downloaded the application from here. I able to start the application, so the screen showes up, and I can measure with it, all the 4 signals are detected. But, when I press either BMP or SAVE, I get a red screen, with message HARDFAULT SP: 2000BCF8 PSP: 2000BCD8 PC: 0802113C LR: 00000001 REGS: r0 08000C39 r1 00000030 r2 080001B5 r3 00000000 r12 00000030 HCB HFSR: 40000000 CFSR: 00000400 STACK DUMP: 00000C39 00000030 080001B5 00000000 00000030 00000001 0802113C 21000000 2000BD96 2000BF4C 0801F823 00000B3B etc, etc, etc... Which is also interesting for me, that I can see a very small number as the memory. So, when I start the application, the lowest line is this: Position: 0 us Buffer: 0 % RAM: 4412 B Is ithis means, that the memory is 4 kilobyte? Is not it too small? Thank you very much for your answers in advance. Have a nice day.

In England it is a social faux paux to partake in the drinking of alcohol while sat outside a newsagents. People walk by and give these drinkers dirty looks and move to the other side of the pavement to walk by them. Here in Korea it is a social must. As the sun goes down college students and senior citizens alike convene outside convenience shops like moths to a flame.
Choosing the right plastic garden seating or slanted wooden bench is crucial. You do not want to be bombarded by flies from nearby rubbish or too near the road where a rush parking job may send your table flying. The next and most important step is choosing your poison. The options are fairly limited to beer, beer and soju (소주 Korean liquor not dissimilar to watered down vodka.) Once you have completed your reasonably priced purchase, sit back, watch the world go by and for goodness sake work on your bladder control. There probably isn't a bathroom anywhere near.

text: Bowls Etiquette Etiquette and the Sport of Lawn Bowls Etiquette is about good manners and a code of behaviour whereby individuals treat one another the way they would themselves expect to be treated. Some of the common etiquettes for the sport of bowls include: Wear appropriate footwear (flat soled shoes) Avoid dumping bowls on to the green surface as this can damage the surface Avoid leaving the rink for long periods of time Avoid resting feet on the plinth Avoid straying on to neighbouring rinks Hand bowls to one another when convenient Avoid distracting players on neighbouring rinks Share the task of kicking bowls after the completion of an end Avoid distracting players whilst a player is on the mat preparing for delivery Refrain from interfering with the head until the result of an end has been agreed upon Shake hands at the start and end of the game Collect all mats and jacks and return to the usual distribution point. Tips for New Bowlers The first tip is to enjoy your bowls. There are many different coaching contacts if you intend to join the club or just be more competitive. Now here are a few tips for the bowler who wants to enjoy, but doesn't want to be embarrassed. If you are off the bowling mat be yourself. If you are on the mat: concentrate. Be confident. Someone who is sure they can do something is better than someone who is sure they cannot. Control. All bowlers from amateur to pro deal with the same predicament— to try to make your next bowl better than your last. Be logical. Too hard: bowl softer. To wide: bowl narrower …and so on. Visualize your bowl bending (be assured it will bend). Each bowl has a large and small symbol on each side—the bowl bends towards the small symbol. Make a habit to check each time. Try not to bowl with your palm, bowl with your fingers. Keep it simple. Strive for consistency. Relax. Don't be nervous. We hope our hints are helpful and don't forget our first tip - Enjoy.

Sermon for Christmas Eve 2013
Luke 2: 1-20
The Rev. Margot D. Critchfield
Good evening, everyone. Welcome. Thank you for taking the time, and making the effort, to be here tonight. I know it's not always easy! And I know many of you are not regular churchgoers, so it's especially nice to have you with us. I love that on one of these few occasions you come to church, I get to stand up here and give you some incredible good news. Amazing news, really—and not just for you, of course, but for everyone who is here tonight.
And here it is. Here's the good news: That beautiful story we just heard…the magical one with the angel and the shepherds that some of us have been tearfully watching Linus recite in Charlie Brown's Christmas every year since 1965? Well, the thing is: it's not just a pretty story.
It's a beautifully embellished and sanitized version of a much grittier but nonetheless historical event. A couple of thousand years ago, the same God that created the 61 elementary particles described in the Standard Model of quantum physics….the same God that created 8.7 million species of life on this planet alone (not to mention 40 billion habitable earth-sized planets in our galaxy)…this same God that created us and hard-wired us to think thoughts, feel feelings, ask questions, explore the world, form relationships, and create life, words, music, art and poetry – this very same God who made us in His image, actually made a decision to make Himself in ours! And that is very good news indeed!
Now I realize that all sounds pretty unbelievable. And, you haven't heard the half of it yet. Because when this God that made us in His image decided to make Himself in ours, He chose to do it in the most unexpected—and frankly, scandalous, of ways: He chose to be born to a very poor, unmarried girl… a girl from a marginalized and oppressed people… a people living under foreign domination and military occupation…amidst a society riddled by corruption, decadence, violence, and exploitation. That's right, the same magnificent God that's responsible for the majesty and mystery of the entire cosmos, chose to become weak and powerless and vulnerable—and to experience human life at its hardest.
It's a pretty wild story. Not nearly as beautiful as the one we just read from Luke's gospel, and certainly not as sweet to hear as the Linus version in Charlie Brown's Christmas. And in all of its gritty, historical details, I dare say it's even more unbelievable.
Unbelievable that the Creator of all that is would choose to take on the vulnerability of being a baby who is born in extreme poverty and oppression; the danger of being a prophet who speaks truth to empire and power; the heartbreak of being a parent who wants nothing more than to save His lost children; and the commitment of being the Light of the World, until the end of time.
Unbelievable that the great "I AM" of Hebrew scripture would go to such humbling and humiliating lengths to free us from fear and fill us with hope.
Unbelievable that Our Lord God truly loves us that much!
Unbelievable, of course, unless you choose to believe. Because if you choose to believe this story (and we all have that choice) it changes everything. Everything.
If you believe, your heart bears a light that not even the darkest of days can extinguish. If you believe, you know that nothing, not even the anguish of death, can separate you from God's love; if you believe, you are guided by a wisdom more precious than gold; if you believe, your heart is flooded with gratitude—knowing, in Bishop Tom's words, that "through this birth event in human history…hope is everywhere for us." Everywhere. And always.
So do not be afraid. I am bringing you good news of great joy. Good news for all people—but especially for those of you who are vulnerable, frightened, in need of healing, or low on hope. Because to you–most especially to you– was born this night your Savior, who is Christ the Lord: The human embodiment of God's saving love with us, here and now.
It's not just a pretty story. It's an incredible one; a stunning one; one that changed human life and altered reality forever….One with the power to change your life and alter your reality forever… if you but let it.
That is the unbelievably good news I get to share with you tonight. That is the real story of Christmas. May you believe it with the awe of the shepherds who first heard it; may you be amazed by it with the wonder of those they told; and may you treasure it in your heart always, with the gentle but God-affirming "yes" of Mary. Amen.

Experts will address sustainability and environmental challenges at GreenPort Cruise & Congress
Sign up to get our monthly updates delivered straight to your inbox:
Author: Elizabeth Robinson/Monday, February 12, 2018/Categories: News, Building and refurbishment
Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) and China Shipbuilding Trading (CSTC) are to build four 2,5000-passenger cruise ferries for shipping and logistics operator MSC Group and Onorato Armatori, owner of a group of operating companies in the Mediterranean and Baltic.
MSC Group's subsidiary GNV, which provides ferry services in Italy, will receive the first and third vessel in the order, while Onorato Armatori will receive the second and fourth. The first vessel will come into service in 2020. Both companies have the option to build an additional two vessels each.
The contract signing ceremony took place at the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) headquarters in Beijing, China. It was attended by Dong Qiang, chairman of CSSC; Pierfrancesco Vago, executive chairman of MSC Group; Achille Onorato, vice chairman and CEO of Onorato Armatori; Matteo Catani, CEO of GNV; Han Guangde, chairman of GSI; and Li Hongtao, general manager of CSTC.
The cruise ferries will be 229 metres in length, 32 metres wide and have 534 cabins to accommodate 2,500 passengers. In addition, the vessels will feature various environmentally friendly features including LNG-ready engines.
"With this signature we have taken another important step towards the creation of a ro-pax class of ships, something inconceivable until a short time ago, something that is avant-garde and projected towards the future," said Onorato. "These two new vessels will not only be the biggest ro-pax ever built but will also have comfort and technology that will be difficult to copy and we are sure that they will represent the benchmark for the entire sector."

How Social and Multi Media Helps Me As a Pastor
1. MySpace helps me see into the lives of teenagers. Many of them cannot believe I have a MySpace page.
2. Facebook helps me with young adult connections. I use an iConnect card in class. Then I use that to make friends on Facebook. I'm able to send an immediate "glad you came, come back" note. Creating groups helps too.
3. Text messaging has been a great way to communicate on the spot. I've been leading a small group now for 10 weeks. The group was born out of my young adult SS class. The small group sends text messages to each other throughout the day. They send book quotes and scriptures encouraging each other. It's amazing.
4. Twitter connects me with other leaders I would normally not have access to. Twitter can be set up to change my Facebook status. My Facebook page stays functional all day. It's interactive. Twitter also connects me to information I would normally not get. Articles and blogs cross Twitter a lot. You could get many in your church to follow you on Twitter and communicate with them through out the day.
5. Mass email in Google is still trustworthy. I use it weekly to communicate to my class. They like getting the reminder for class and encouragement through the week.
iPhone is simply great for doing all these social media things. It's amazing how many people can be touched anywhere, anytime.
If you're a pastor, get with the program Let media work for you.

Academy for Adult Learning Class of 2011
Meet Autimn, Academy Class of 2011, and Ian, Temple University Class of 2012
Autimn, what do you think you got out of the program?
Autimn: What I got out of it is you can learn, you can learn all this kind of stuff when you're in the program and you can, you can really take everything out of it. But what the important thing is, is to try to learn as much as you can and if you learn something in the past like before, or anything like that you can still learn that same period of time. So, that's what I got out of it.
Ian, what do you think you got out of the program?
Ian: I think that I've gotten to learn about other people, other cultures, other backgrounds that maybe I'm not used to being involved with that much, on a day-to-day basis, or on a weekly basis. Um, and, you know, simultaneously, also, learning more about myself, in the process, which wasn't something I really thought I would get out of it.
Um, I think I've learned more about, um, I guess, that I can be patient with people, that I can help people out. Um, you know, if they have trouble understanding something, and I understand it, I can help him...I think I'm good at, teaching them how to learn it, or basically, how to understand it or like why I understand it.
Autimn, what three words would you use to describe Ian?
Autimn: Supportive, kind and I mean, crazy...but, caring at that...
Ian, what two or three words would you use to describe Autimn?
Ian: I'd say very generous, um, caring as well, and um, open-minded, definitely.
Ian, how do you think your involvement has affected your overall experience at Temple University?
Ian: It's definitely been very positive, um. You know, I knew that I'd get somethings out of it, positive, most likely, but I didn't think it would be as good an experience as it really was. It doesn't feel like I have to put any effort into anything. It's basically just something I want to do, and that I like to do, and it's not ever hard to show up at all, just because, you know, I get to see Autimn. We have a good time, we always mess around, and then when we have work to do, we both do our work. And it's just a really...definitely been a great experience.
Autimn, how has this experience of Temple's campus been for you as a student?
Autimn: It's been overwhelming postitive to me, because, when I...it gives me a chance to meet all different types of people, and all different types of races--Black, White, Asian, whatever--and it helped me to try to learn about more people more. So that's, that's what I got out of the program.
How do you think the Academy for Adult Learning will affect your future?
Autimn: Um, I don't think it will affect my future. It will affect how I change people, everything else in that matter, but it will change how I learn how to do stuff and change what I wanted to do in life, like music, or office work, or anything else in that matter. So that will probably change what I'd been doing for the last couple of years. I'm not that little kid no more, so I'm at grown up stage, so that would be good for me.
Ian: As far as, I guess, building relationships with people, I think it will definitely help me a lot, just because, um, just meeting somebody for the first time and then kind of hang out with him all the time, and things like that. It's kind of been, like, a good experience, in the fact that like I'm able to just like see how I can build a relationship from day one, basically with somebody that I'd never met before. And like I just learned a lot of things, a lot of tools, on how to talk to people, how to respect people, and listen and just on a human standpoint, just been very effective, definitely going to help me in the future.
What is your all-time favorite movie?
Autimn: You all are going to think I'm crazy but my favorite movie is Power Rangers--The Movie. Because, because, everytime it...because I love action movies, I love special effects and stuff like that, 'cause I've been watching the show ever since I was 15 years old and I really love how they...it's also a positive message goes in that movie. So I loved it.
Ian: My favorite movie is, uh, definitely a lot different from Power Rangers. Um...Taxi Driver, by Martin Scorsese. So much different but, uh, I don't know why, I...it's just my favorite movie, I can't really explain it, I just think it's a really cool character study.
What is your favorite food?
Autimn: The best thing I have eaten is...gotta be...spagetti and sauce. 'Cause I love, I love the taste -- I know how to make it.
So I love spagetti, I love...I like meatballs (but I'm trying to lose weight right now) but, but I really love the sauce, I love how if the sauce is very thick, not watery or nothing like that. It's really, really good and it's healthy for me without the meat, so I love it. I love it.
Ian: Best thing I've ever eaten is the uh, bison burger at Ted's Montana Grill, very, very good. Definitely the best thing I've ever eaten.
If you had one dream that could really come true, what would it be?
Autimn: My dream come true I would say becoming a artist, 'cause I could share my talent with other people. That's one of my dreams.
Ian: If I had one dream to come true probably'd be to become an actor. I think that would be, like, a really cool thing to do, interesting, in like serious movies. I just think that would be awsome.
Do you want to share anything else?
Ian: I just know there's a lot of schools that don't do this program, and like it just, only makes me think good things about Temple, the fact that they do a program like this, and they care enough to do that and like, you know, as an alumni, would definitely make me more willing to give money to the Institution, and things like that, 'cause I know that they have good programs like this and, uh, I just think that it's definitely benefitial to all parties. This program, there's nobody that...there's no downside for anyone, just only helps people out and definitely, I'm very glad that I'm in this program.
