Samsung OmniaLITE B7300 is a smartphone that comes with an easy-to-use interface and features Internet access and multimedia and business functions. The three-dimensional TouchWiz 2.0 interface enhances user experience by supporting various widgets.
For business-use, Omnia LITE supports multiple push email accounts and lets you work with office documents. The phone's Windows Mobile 6.5 Operating System provides the foundation on which OmniaLITE's business-feel stands on. Want to take your business on the road? Do it via Opera Mini, B7300's default web browser, which you can use with high-speed data transmission technology HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Omnia Omnia Lite B7300 (vs. other phones under the OMNIA line) is characterized by ever-slightly less "advanced" functionality and a more acceptable price. Nonetheless, Omnia Lite B7300 offers a slew of outstanding connectivity and entertainment features that would surely make you want to purchase it. The phone features a 3.2-inch resistive touch TFT LCD-display with a resolution of 320x400 pixels, which complements various apps and games quite well. Also, there's a 3.2-megapixel camera module, Bluetooth 2.0, FM-Tuner, USB 2.0 port and a slot for microSD cards. As mentioned above, B7300 supports GPS-navigation (A-GPS), works with 3G-network HSDPA, quad GSM / GPRS / EDGE and, of course, WiFi-network.
OmniaLITE has physical dimensions of 107 x 51.8 x 12.9 mm and weight of only 103 grams -- which is quite small and light for a smartphone of this calibre.
It fits in the hand really well and I'm sure you won't experience problems carrying it in your pocket. It's not bulky whatsoever.
As for the design of the case, the chrome accent on the sides adds character to this otherwise plain looking phone. I think it also gives the device that business, no-nonsense look.
OmniaLITE features a resistive touchscreen (read Resistive vs. Capacitive touchscreen discussion via the link), which means that you'd have to apply a bit of pressure on it to create an action. IMO, it's a bit backward compared to its capacitive counterpart but that's how it is.
1. The Start button to launch Windows Mobile homescreen is a bit hard to 'press' right without accidentally opening the widgets dock.
2. Typing on the on-screen keypad in vertical mode is not the easiest of tasks. I find the keys a bit cramped, causing me to mistype words often.
OmniaLITE features a 3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus camera without flash.
The photos are just fine, I think. Not bad considering the minimal indoor lighting and lack of camera flash.
Again, just fine. The video quality is completely what I expect of a non-HD cameraphone. Just ayt.
One of the things I found really enjoyable to do on this phone is browsing the net.
The Connectivity Widget and Wifi Settings page are really easy to work with. No need for advanced know-how whatsoever. In hindsight, I didn't experience any problems at all connecting to the net.
Once connected, the phone's powerful Samsung ARM 1176 667MHz processor and 250MB of internal memory made sure that webpages load really fast.
OmniaLITE's battery life is just average. On paper, it should stay on for 27 days on standby and provide 9 hours of talk time. I found out, however, that browsing the net on wifi drains the battery quickest -- getting only a little more than 3 hours of browsing time on full charge.
Samsung OmniaLITE B7300 is a definite catch, in my humble opinion.
While it isn't quite as powerful and feature-rich as its siblings in the Omnia line, given its price range of only Php 12,000 - Php 13,000 (at authorized Samsung retail shops in the Philippines), you can't go wrong with OmniaLITE. If only for its powerful mobile processor and its relatively large amount of internal memory, in contrast to other phones (from Samsung or otherwise) with proprietary CPU at a similar price point, I'd give OmniaLITE 4 out of 5 stars.
If you want a phone that offers exemplary mobile internet browsing experience, then you should definitely have OmniaLITE on your check-out list.
i bought samsung omnia lite last march. i didn't know na may made in china rin pala na samsung! d ko rin kasi tiningnan nung binili ko, tatanga-tanga din kasi ako! nalaman ko lang nung ng-ask yung friend ko na bilhan ko sya ng samsung phone din tapos siguraduhin ko daw na made in korea at hindi china! pagtinging ko sa likod ng phone ko made in china pala! i thought nokia lang pini-fake nila! pwede ko pa kya isuli yun sa binilhan ko? complete pa namn sya pati resibo... if ever d tinanggap ng store, san ako pwede mg-reklamo? i paid P12,990 for it!
nainis talaga ako! nakakahiya! mahal ng bili ko tapos fake pala! kahit 10k nalng ibalik nila sakin basta isusuli ko talaga sya!
i have an Omnia Lite and it freezes too!! it hangs and it is really a hassle to use. brought it to the Samsung Service Center at SM Mall of Asia and Robinson's Place (where I bought the phone) to have it checked or even replaced because of its defect but they kept on blaming the SIM card. they said that apparently, Samsung phones are "designed" for 64k SIM cards and since I'm using a 128k postpaid SIM card, it will cause the phone to hang, the battery will be drained faster, it will cause the phone to heat up faster and it will have intermittent network signal. and till now, after a month, my phone is still with them since they are still "checking" what the defects are. Samsung phones are just as equally poor in performance as the quality of service itself!!
Hi, is it true, only released color for B7300 is in full-Black? I need feedback.

Postcards from the Frontlines will be sent to the UN on the occasion of the Climate Summit
As the UN Climate Summit meets on 23rd September 2014, the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) and ByPost will deliver Postcards from the Frontlines of climate change to the United Nations in New York.
In 2012, 31.7 million people were forced from their homes due to extreme weather events, making one person every second forcibly displaced as a result of the impact of our changing climate. Crucially, those communities least responsible for contributing to climate change are among those first and worst affected.
In today's world of clicktivism, Postcards from the Frontlines uses human faces and stories to give a voice to the millions of individuals already affected by climate change. Postcards from climate witnesses affected first hand highlight the effects on their homes, land and livelihoods and those from their supporters reflect in words and pictures what home means to them, and considers all that would be lost if they were forced to flee.
Extreme weather exacerbated by climate change is causing massive damage to lives and livelihoods on a global scale. Even in the US, one of the world's best equipped and most powerful states, Hurricane Katrina damaged 1.2 million homes and left an estimated 600,000 families homeless for at least a month after it struck.
Although climate refugees are far greater in number than those fleeing conflict, they are not recognised by any international law. A Special Rapporteur on Climate Change and Human Rights would help inform the UN and all its members of the plight of climate refugees and identify measures to address this pressing human rights and environmental crisis.
"Postcards from the Frontlines personalises climate change by showing the range and extent of the impacts that climate change is having on individuals around the world, making it relevant to each of us by asking us to consider what home means to us. EJF believes climate change is the single greatest threat to our collective environmental security and basic well-being and we must act to protect the millions of people around the world who are already being affected." - Steve Trent, Executive Director of EJF
"The idea that in this cold weather, that somehow in the middle of the night you'd be woken up by a flood or something, and you'd have to crawl out on your roof in your totally wet clothes and sit shivering in the hope you might be rescued. Home more than anything means warmth and bed. What we're talking about regarding climate change refugees is total chaos where natural disasters are more intense and more often. The world is giving us this warning of more horror to come." - Vivienne Westwood, who launched the campaign at London Fashion Week 2013
"Climate change is here. As natural disasters increase and sea levels rise, millions will flee their homes. Shortages of land, food and water will amplify the scale and complexity of violent conflicts. The International Rescue Committee is working with vulnerable communities around the world to build their resilience to climate-related threats." - David Miliband wrote on his postcard
"We are only beginning to get our heads around the devastation we have wrought through climate change. It is the actions of those who have the most that are being felt most severely by those who have the least. Yet the institutions we have to deal with these problems, are based on nation states, that take little or no responsibly and don't appear to want to reach agreement on how to respond. Yet we are witnessing millions without homes, seas without fish, and the potential for life without a future…" - Peter Gabriel wrote on his postcard
"We left Kiribati because you cannot live there anymore. We wanted to have children and did not want them exposed to the risk of disease or drowning in Kiribati. We fear returning because it is unsustainable and our children will be harmed if not killed by climate change problems." - Ioane Teitiota, the world's first climate refugee who was forced to return to his home of Kiribati, wrote on his postcard

The case, Yee v. Massachusetts State Police, was initiated by State Police Trooper Warren Yee in 2014, after the State Police denied his request to be transferred to the troop that patrols the area of Logan International Airport (where lucrative opportunities for overtime and details are more frequent). After Yee's initial request was denied, at least seven other officers from his troop received the desired transfer: all were white men, most of them younger than Yee, and many of them less qualified. Yee complained, but still failed to secure the transfer he had long sought. The Suffolk Superior Court granted summary judgment to the State Police, reasoning that Yee would have the same base salary in either position, and that merely denying him the possibility of earning additional compensation from more numerous details and available overtime did not amount to "lost money" in such a way that a reasonable jury could conclude that he suffered an adverse employment action. Yee appealed and the state's highest court reviewed the case on its own initiative.
The SJC premised its decision on the legislative directive in c. 151B § 9 that the state anti-discrimination law is to be interpreted and applied liberally in furtherance of its purpose and upon analogous federal precedent interpreting Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination regarding access to overtime opportunities. An "adverse employment action" is not a phrase that appears in c. 151B, but it is a key element in the four-part common law test developed to determine whether an employee has made out a prima facie case of discrimination under that statute. The SJC determined that evidence that one other trooper earned more in the desired assignment was "adequate evidence that [Yee] would have greater opportunities to earn overtime and obtain paid details in the troop to which he seeks transfer" such that a reasonable jury could draw an inference that the sought-after position was objectively more desirable and materially advantageous.
It still remains to be seen whether the lower court ultimately will find that "there was a genuine issue of material fact whether the denial of Yee's request for a lateral transfer was motivated by discriminatory animus." The State Police must now present a legitimate, non-discriminatory motive for the challenged denials of transfer. Should the State Police meet that burden of rebutting Yee's prima facie case of discrimination, it then will be up to Yee to demonstrate that the proffered reason is merely a pretext and that the true motive behind the transfer denials was discrimination based upon race, age, or national origin. Stay tuned. In the meantime, Massachusetts employers should be vigilant about making sure that they can articulate a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for denying an employee's request for a lateral transfer, particularly where that transfer may offer potential opportunities or advantages that the employee's current position does not offer.

Service Tech Sees 'Huge Difference' With Bioheat® Fuel
If Steven Calvaruso hasn't seen it all in the heating oil industry, then he's seen darn near all of it.
He's been a heating system service technician in New York City since 1984. Calvaruso wasn't expecting much of a change when his employer, Cohler Fuel Oil Co. in Brooklyn, switched a few years ago from traditional heating oil to heating oil with biodiesel blended into it — a product known as Bioheat® blended fuel.
"Bioheat fuel maintains consumer independence from the big utilities, and it has the safety, comfort and service advantages that traditional oil heat has been known for but is so much cleaner and is the gateway to a renewable energy future." Steven Calvaruso, Cohler Fuel Oil Co.
He was wrong
"As a technician, I noticed a huge difference in the equipment and how it ran," Calvaruso says. "I explain to customers that it is a wonderful product compared to what they were using."
Bioheat blended fuel helps fight what Calvaruso considers the No. 1 problem affecting the efficiency of a heating system: carbon accumulation on the surfaces of heat exchangers.
"Since we started using biodiesel, there's been a noticeable drop-off in carbon-related service calls and of carbon on the heat exchanger surfaces," he says. "They've been much cleaner, and that translates into better efficiency for the system. That makes everybody happy — customers and us."
The switch to Bioheat blended fuel from traditional heating oil is simple, according to Calvaruso. Heating systems require no equipment modifications. In the first few months, filters need to be changed more frequently, but that's because the biodiesel is cleaning out the carbon left behind by traditional heating oil. After the first season or so, oil filters are much cleaner for customers who have their burners tuned-up every year.
Residential users also are eligible for a state tax credit for using biodiesel blends. Cohler Fuel Oil delivers a B5 blend to its customers. The results have been so impressive that Cohler Fuel Oil owner Allan Cohn is advocating for a pilot program to encourage Bioheat blended fuel usage and heating oil–compatible systems in new homes and those in need of new heating equipment.
Bioheat fuel is the future
Bioheat blended fuel is a hit with Cohler Fuel Oil customers. And who can blame them? They have cleaner-burning systems that require less service because of an environmentally friendly fuel that also carries a financial incentive.
"I explain to customers the benefits of using biodiesel and how it translates to a more efficient system and how that, in turn, translates to savings for them. That, of course makes them very happy. So the customers have had an overwhelmingly positive attitude towards it." Steven Calvaruso, Cohler Fuel Oil Co.

"Unlike most theology departments, Loyola's has a special focus on comparative theology in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. As a result, I get to teach Buddhism, Hinduism, comparative religion, and the anthropology of religion," says Trent Pomplun, Ph.D., who began teaching at Loyola in 2002. The associate professor of theology feels strongly about incorporating the Spiritual Exercises in his classes, because this gives his students the opportunity to learn meditation, discernment, the Examen, and the Jesuit core tenant of magis straight from St. Ignatius. Beyond theology, Dr. Pomplun teaches courses on the Renaissance in Loyola's Honors Program. Originally from East Texas, he completed his B.A. in Religious Studies and Asian Studies from Rice University and holds both an M.A. in History of Religions and a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of Virginia. Dr. Pomplun is also a member of the American Academic of Religion, the Renaissance Society of America, and the International Associations of both Tibetan Studies and Buddhist Studies. Students might be surprised to learn Dr. Pomplun once lived in Kathmandu, Nepal, where he learned several types of Buddhist meditation from Tibetan monks.
Our Jesuit, liberal arts education prepares students to pursue advanced theological studies by giving them the opportunity to learn Greek and Latin in the classics department; Plato, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas in the philosophy department; the history of religious controversies and the influence of the Kings James Bible on the English language, among other things. There's really no end to how well it prepares them.

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Election Fantasizing...
...to remind you that the current administration will, in fact, be in power for several more months. Not to count chickens, but I don't see a strategic scenario in which John McCain pulls off a win on Tuesday, which means that we have two vital tasks to accomplish as quickly as possible. The first is the battle for Obama's soul, as JJ put it. The second, which is not entirely unrelated, is a full-fledged understanding of the damage that the Bush administration did to the country and to the world.
It would be far easier to follow in Bush's footsteps, to keep using the tools they forged, than to truly take the country in a new direction. Indeed, to abandon everything that they accomplished would be literally impossible: in the absence of something like 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, the United States is just not nimble enough to radically change its foreign policy over a single presidential term. To have a chance of salvaging the rule of international law, then, we need to know how they did what they did as soon as humanly possible. By January 20th, at the latest.
The below is an interview with Philip Gourevitch, author of, among other excellent books, the Abu Ghraib exposé Standard Operating Procedure:
The whole interview is worth watching, but the most relevant point Gourevich makes for our purposes starts at about 14:00. Implicitly, it's an answer to the question of why this photo happened:
Seriously, May, 2003 was a really stupid time to declare victory in Iraq, and they had to know it. Turns out they had a reason, and it sheds a lot of light on how the abuses at Abu Ghraib took place:
They set about seeking ways to dismantle the limitations and restrictions on intelligence gathering and interrogation in their prosecution of the war on terror. And they tried– they studied the law, the Geneva Conventions and the international ban on torture, cruel human and degrading punishment. And they basically just detected various weaknesses, in definitions and other levels in those laws, and said they don't apply, let's scrap them, let's find loopholes within them. And they lawyered up, and created a new set of rules...
There's a really key moment that I found in trying to understand all of this, which is the moment of the president's Mission Accomplished speech. The famous May 1 speech. He appears on the aircraft carrier... He gives the thumbs up, and grinning, a pose that soldiers at Abu Ghraib were mocked for using. And he says, "Mission Accomplished"... he says "This is the end of major combat in Iraq."
Well, as we know, it was the beginning of the war, almost. But what does he mean? On that same day, in Afghansistan, Rumsfeld made the same declaration. What does this mean?
In the Geneva Conventions, almost all of the protections they extend to prisoners are based on a conventional war in which it's the warring armies of two states. End of major combat meant Saddam's state is gone. Anybody who is now fighting us becomes an illegal combatant, and when we capture them they become security detainees. These labels turn out to have legal balloons attached to them, which create a whole different set of rules. And so, although it seemed like Mission Accomplishment was premature triumphalism and it was mocked as such and a campaign stunt, frankly, that year. It was in fact, buried in it, was a speech that created a new legal paradigm for Iraq which said that this whole war's illegal, the other side...
This is now a terrorist, an anti-terrorist campaign, it's an anti-insurgent campaign. And they took a tiny little loophole in the Geneva Conventions which said that in the name of imperative military necessity an occupier may seize people temporarily. And they used it to justify mass detention, without charges, in secret holding facilities, without any system of release. And that created the climate, and set the stage, for which our soldiers, the M.P.s, found themselves becoming the poster boys for this policy.
It was no longer the Iraq War, it was the global war on terror in their minds. And anything was justified. And the soldiers were told this.
The "Mission Accomplished" declaration was, in other words, about making a real war into the shadowy, vague, lawless war on terror. It was a stupid political stunt, but it was also the coldest of legal moves, and set the stage for everything that happened in Iraq in the next five years.
By its very nature, Obama's presidency will be a breath of fresh air that this country cannot live without. He promises a sharp distinction between his administration and that of the current president: "What's more, in the dark halls of Abu Ghraib and the detention cells of Guantanamo, we have compromised our most precious values. What could have been a call to a generation has become an excuse for unchecked presidential power."
But I can't help but worry about statements like "The terrorists are at war with us." Obama believes in the War on Terror – and the question is, which war? How much better will Obama fare, when faced with similar challenges? The legacy of the Bush Administration remains in place until we actively dismantle it, remember. Merely leaving Iraq is not enough, if the chance of war elsewhere remains high. Increasing non-military aid is meaningless if we continue to hold prisoners in endless captivity. The "war" is over in Afghanistan too.
To morally continue the worldwide fight against terror, we need precise and humane legal oversight. We need a Fifth Geneva Convention, a code for the 21st Century, for insurgents, terrorists and violent criminal conspiracies. One of the first true tests for the soul of the Obama administration will be its approach to this issue: the extent to which it pursues a legal, moral justification for the war on terror. To take significant military action without such justification is to be just as bad as Bush, no matter who gives the orders or what they say about it.
As Gourevitch puts it, we do not want the standard with which we "measure ourselves in the war on terror [to be] that we're not quite as bad as the terrorists. That's too low a standard." We are better than that. We have to be, or the surge of genuine patriotism we've all felt over the last few months is no better than the flag-waving of the last eight years.
As sad as it is, we have to prove our country's morality. And I fear it will be far harder than it sounds.

The Architectonic of Ideas:Xi Jinping's The Governance of China
As a part of the London Book Fair 2015, the book launch event is for promoting the book The Governance of China by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's Republic of China.
The book contains 79 of Xi Jinping's major works, including speeches, talks, interviews and correspondence, dating from 2012 to 2014. Professor Martin Albrow gave an opening speech in the event. Details of the event please check HERE.
The texts are provided below:
Martin Albrow
Your Excellency, Ambassador Liu, may I thank you first for allowing me the honour and privilege of speaking at the launch of President Xi Jinping's new book. Not just Western countries should welcome this major initiative to communicate the ideas of China's leadership about the direction of a country that will affect all others over the coming century.
To my lasting regret I have never taken the arduous road that leads to becoming a sinologist. But as a sociologist of global society I wholeheartedly welcome a book that brings China to the rest of the world, and at the same time offers a huge contribution to understanding between nations and towards co-operation in meeting the global challenges of our time.
There is so much to this book that should lead to new thinking in the West in particular, but in the short time available to me I shall draw three lessons from it.
The very title is a triumph. It is a masterstroke to adopt 'governance' as the leading concept. Though it may be very recent compared with the Chinese idea of li it still has a relatively rich history in Western thought.
To take an English example, a manuscript bearing the title The Governance of England, (Fortescue) dates from the sixteenth century. So the term 'governance' has the merit of predating modern ideological conflicts. Today it enjoys a renewed popularity, I would suggest, because it invites us to examine the relation of government to social order in a spirit free from the preconceptions of the twentieth century.
That is the first lesson I draw from this book. It teaches us that to understand the present we have to embrace the past. President Xi evokes China's history and demonstrates how age old ideas are a motive force in the present, deeply embedded in practices today, even when we don't recognise them.
Western readers may not be surprised by his emphasis on the development of Chinese Marxist ideas, on socialism with Chinese characteristics since Mao Zedong, through Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, to Hu Jintao. They may, however, open their eyes wider when they read the tribute to Sun Yat-sen who led the revolution of 1911 and is seen as the forerunner of the Chinese democratic revolution. They may expect quotations from Confucius. But they may be startled by the profound reflections on the theme of harmony from a prime minister living over 2500 years ago.
Ideas live on, and in China they provide both continuity with a prodigiously long and complex history and also the frame for shaping the future. This is the second lesson I wish to draw from this book. It demonstrates how much we should value systematic thought in political leadership.
It brings to my mind a word even older than governance, infrequently used today, but exactly appropriate, namely 'architectonic', that is to say, related to building, to making structures, creating an enduring order. The world needs an architectonic of ideas, flexible enough to meet national and global challenges. We have the example here of what President Xi Jinping advocates in his own country and what the world outside in general so grievously lacks.
The West has lost its grip on ideas. They have become a factor of economic production, a key input for the advertising industry, the source of political slogans and the plaything for entertainers. But lost is the belief in a higher ordering of ideas that might provide guidance for our leaders, or in a common frame of concepts for attending to the acute existential problems of the world of today. We have to go back at least a century to Max Weber to find anything meeting this requirement.
Xi Jinping demonstrates that the virtues of Chinese systematic thinking for modern society are not simply a matter of a well-chosen quotations from revered sources. Though the reader will take pleasure in the colour and imagery they offer. More fundamental is an underlying drive for systematic interconnectedness that characterises both ancient and modern Chinese thought.
This was recognised in the West as long ago as 1700 when one of its most spectacular minds, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz pointed to the ethical superiority of the Chinese, even if the West had recently surpassed them in scientific advances. It should cause us to reflect on our current awareness of the past when a Chinese President feels the need to remind us that Leibniz was an advocate of mutual understanding between peoples.
The overwhelming thrust of this book is to provide the ideas that will mobilize the mass of the Chinese people in a drive towards national rejuvenation, reform and innovation-led growth. With an implicit nod towards the American equivalent, Xi calls it 'the Chinese dream', but it is a hard headed, systematic approach to enhancing what he calls national governance capacity, involving the promotion of political stability, economic growth, social harmony and ethnic unity.
The 'Dream' involves principles, goals, values and ideals, all expressed in characteristic Chinese enumerations: the six 'Centering-ons' that give the market a decisive role but endorse political and social structural reform to enhance 'the Party's capacity to govern in a scientific and democratic way in accordance with the law'; the 'three Stricts' for Party members, self-development, limiting the use of power and self-discipline; the 'three Earnests', making plans, opening up new undertakings and upholding personal integrity. They fit with the 'three Furthers' for the country: freeing the mind; releasing and developing productive forces; strengthening the vigour of society.
There will be those in the West who scoff at the implausibility of realising all these goals and standards. They will miss their point. This is an ordered frame of thought required for guiding action and judging achievement. Its application is in the first instance to China, but implied is a general theory of governance, where government is embedded in a wider system of norms, values and common understandings that create the kind of social order where people can go about their lives with purpose and a sense of security.
This leads to the third lesson I draw from Xi's book. The idea of governance prepares us to bring China, the West and the rest of the world together in the idea of global governance. It points to the gross distortion of global affairs when global governance is seen as a matter primarily for the international financial institutions. In the global age the issues that challenge our existence on this planet call for far more than general agreements on trade.
Xi Jinping affirms China's support for the United Nations, for the Eco Forum Global Conference, for the Millennium Development Goals, and for the UN Security Council. China he says belongs to a world where exchanges and mutual learning make civilizations richer and more colourful. He calls for partnership, co-operation and mutual development with other nations.
This book encourages us to hope that the ideas behind the governance of China may sometime soon be extended to rethinking the governance of the globe. As Mencius said: 'One can never unify the world if the hearts of all the people are not won

Today is a blog hop featuring some of the fabulous #myfavoriteblogger gals. The theme? Birds.
At the bottom of this post is a giveaway. Don't miss it!
It's been a little while since we've done a trash-turned-fabulous post. And this project was a fabulous happenstance of my parent's recycling bin, and the group effort of three adults and two children.
And there were various kinds of glue.
We started with a clean peanut butter jar and a saucer for a plant pot. Both of these things were discovered in my parents' garage. I nearly always come home with something new to craft/upcycle with after a visit at my folks' place. You can imagine that Mr. Suburble loves this.
Hoarding is a genetic condition.
My dad grabbed a drill and created a pilot hole at the bottom of the plastic jar. He did this about four times around the bottom of the jar.
Using scissors, we turned these pilot holes into larger holes – big enough for bird seed to slip out of of.
I'm omitting a bunch of craft failures at this point in the post. We had this idea that we could glue the two plastic surfaces together. Easy, right?
Despite trying almost three different kinds of construction glue from my mom's shop, despite placing bricks on top of the bird feeder, and despite claims by deceitful glue-makers that their adhesive would bond plastic… the thing repeatedly fell apart.
We all threw our hands up into the air. How on EARTH could we connect the jar to the saucer?
After realizing that the third time farting around with glue was NOT a charm, but instead a complete and utter failure, we turned to a drill and fasteners. My dad drilled holes through the saucer and the bottom of the jar. Bolts were slipped into the bottom of the saucer and then secured with nuts.
By having the bolts face into the jar, you don't risk any scrapes or "grabs" by bolts haphazardly hanging out of the saucer bottom.
A couple of holes drilled into the peanut butter jar lid, some twine, and you're ready to fill your upcycled bird feeder with seed!
I think we were all impressed with our recycling bin creation. The seed easily spilled from the holes and filled the saucer.
Would the birds notice? Could this be a viable bird feeder?
The next day, I left my parents' house…. not yet seeing a bird perch on our creation. Oh no… did they know that this was a recycling bin creation?
And not a day later, my mom took this picture. Do you see how much bird feed has been eaten?
And the little bird/chickadee/adorable chubby chick thing is having breakfast right at our little upcycled restaurant!
The bird love doesn't stop here! Five other gals from the #myfavoriteblogger collective have created awesome bird-related projects!
And after you've soaked up all of that good birdy-ness, you should enter this giveaway! It's for $70 from Target!
It looks great! I upcycle gallon water jugs into bird feeders (they last about six months or so), but I have never made anything that actually looked nice like this! Well done!
Thank you so much, Gypsi! I admit – it was my mom's idea to use the peanut butter jar – and it looked so much better than any of the ideas I had been tossing around earlier!
Good grief, girl! You're gonna need some more bird food!
I know! Hooray! I didn't know if it was going to work.
See – it was such a success! Those birds loved your little feeder… and super cool that you reused (literally) junk to make it!
What a fabulous upcycle Tara! I'm impressed!


The DTP 640 REX features an innovative dual element design, that combines a dynamic and a condenser capsule in one housing. Switchable frequency responses make for kick-drum sounds that are rich and intense or flat and neutral. In order to ensure full control over the two elements, each has a dedicated output.
We have put two perfectly phase aligned microphones in one housing. This enables you to shape the kick drum sound in unique ways. The dynamic element ensures accurate reproduction of kick drum attack, while the condenser element captures the drum's low end. Each element has a dedicated output.
Both elements with neutral frequency response.
Dynamic element boosts frequencies between 3 and 5 kHz, condenser stays neutral.
Dynamic for range 3-5 kHz, condenser for frequencies 70-150 Hz to deliver full bodied sound.
"The 640 REX kick mic works with everything. It's my secret weapon."
Fela Davis is mixing front of house for the 5-time Grammy award winning jazz artist Christian McBride.
"Having a switch to change from 3 different frequency ranges between the two capsules gives me many options to work with."
Chris Wilson is a professional audio engineer, who has worked as FOH with artists such as the Tony-award-winning Million Dollar Quartet.
"The low end is really solid, without having to add EQ. The high end is really snappy."
"You get a thumping dynamic microphone capsule that really delivers the punch and force of the kick as well as an electret condenser that adds clarity and definition to the snap and extended low frequency response that this microphone is capable of capturing. The result, once fed through two channels of a mixer and balanced to suit the drum, is really something special. I have never heard any kick microphone like this before."
Thanks to its Dual-Element Technology and fine-tuned frequency responses the DTP 640 REX offers unparalleled, powerful sound that will impress drummers and sound engineers alike. The DTP 640 REX is equipped with a high-quality dynamic element and a condenser element – the dynamic element ensures accurate reproduction of the bass drum kick, while the condenser element captures the rich low frequency sound of the drum's shell. In order to guarantee full control over the two elements, they can be mixed, each using its own channel. The DTP 640 REX provides 3 sound-shaping modes: "Linear" captures the sound in a natural way. "Dynamic Enhanced Frequency Response" has the dynamic element boosts frequencies between 3 and 5 kHz while the condenser stays neutral. "Dual Enhanced Frequency Response" delivers the ultimate full-bodied sound by having the dynamic element focuses on the 3 and 5 kHz-range while the condenser element focuses on frequencies from 70 to 150 Hz to deliver full body sound. Each element has its output! Combining these features with the comprehensive tonal freedom of Dual-Element Technology opens up a wide range of use, turning the DTP 640 REX into a universal tool for bass-heavy applications.
You were looking for a microphone suitable for Drums, Brass, Woodwind, Amplifier. Maybe you are also interested in one of these products.
"What you get is two very different sounds from your kick drum, fed into two separate channels on your mixing console. This means you can have more thump, more snap and overall added punch to your kick sound. You are left to mix the two outputs to suit your needs and to better fit in the mix.
Sebastian Dural of Phantom DS music Studio visited Heinrich House of Heinrich House Studio and brought his LEWITT equipment for a microphone shootout in the context of two completely different recording philosophies.
Sean Winchester is the former recording and touring drummer for the band Everclear and the current drummer of Buckcherry as well as Josh Todd and the Conflict.
"I find myself carrying my mics everywhere I go!"
Schon Emmanuel is an extraordinary engineer specialized in monitors and FOH and has done projects with A$AP Rocky, Billy Ocean, and Alexander O'Neil Daley using his LEWITT microphones.


The quality assurance measures for PV modules are of fundamental importance for any PV power plant asset. The failure-free operation of the PV modules is a prerequisite for efficient energy production, long life, and a high return on the investment. During operation PV modules may develop defects which can be repaired if they are detected in time, but they can cause a severe drop in energy production and sometimes safety issues. To ensure the operation of the PV modules without significant losses, fast and reliable methods to evaluate the performance of the photovoltaic modules are required, both during the production process and after the installation of the PV modules. For that reason more and more EPC and O&M companies offer regular IR and EL imaging inspections of PV plants to ensure the safety and high performance of the PV array in addition to IV curve measurements and monitoring. IR and EL are two imaging techniques, which identify faults and problems developing with PV modules.
The use of infrared (IR) imaging for the evaluation of PV modules has many advantages. First of all, a great number of failures developed on PV modules can be detected using IR imaging, from hot-spots to mismatch losses or installation failures. Furthermore, IR imaging technique can be applied for non-destructive testing and used to scan installed PV modules during normal operation. Finally, thermal cameras also allow scanning large areas within a short time frame.
Due to the high resolution of IR cameras existing in the market today, such an inspection approach using drones, is possible. Using drones, for instance, a PV plant of 4 MWp nominal power will require approximately 5 to 10 hours of IR inspection taking into consideration that all the other factors that might influence the inspection are ideal.
The optimized operation of the PV cell is to absorb the light and convert it into electricity. However, due to reciprocity principle the opposite is also possible and offers the opportunity of Electroluminescence (EL) imaging. Electroluminescence is a phenomenon that has been used for a long time for other applications such as lightening, but recently has been introduced as an investigation procedure for PV modules and strings. It consists of applying a direct current to the PV module and measuring the photoemission by means of an infrared-sensitive camera. EL imaging provides insight into micro cracks and other defects within the cell material. This in turn helps identify faults and problems present or developing within the PV module.

It's just about time for a flood of "Best of 2016" lists to hit the Web (and yes, we'll be guilty of some of our own). An early entry this year comes from Indiewire critic David Ehrlich, whose annual countdowns of the top films from the last 12 months are always hotly anticipated.
"It's always an interesting exercise to arrive at the end of a year and take stock of the films that it produced, to squint for as much perspective as you can and see what the movies might have been saying to us, or to each other," writes Ehrlich.
Although these lists are, obviously, subjective, it's fascinating to see which films best captured the public imagination and most accurately represent the year in which they debuted. Ehrlich's annual movie mashup is particularly well-received thanks to his impeccable editing and soundtrack choices.
This year's video kicks off with a montage for 2016 as a whole, then drops into the meat of the matter with the #25 entry and an especially amusing song choice. That spot goes to Weiner, a tragicomic documentary portrait of Anthony Weiner's failed campaign for New York City mayor. From there Ehrlich hits a mix of critic favourites (Jackie, La La Land, The Witch) and more under-the-radar hits (The Lobster, American Honey, A Bigger Splash).
There's bound to be controversy about some of the choices. Some will cry that Lemonade, Beyoncé's visual album that aired on HBO, doesn't belong. Films like High-Rise and Swiss Army Man split viewer opinion. Others, like Martin Scorsese's Silence, haven't even premiered yet.
If you follow cinema, you won't be surprised by #1. The film received glowing praise from critics and audiences alike, and has many predicting big wins at the Academy Awards. Find out what it is, along with the rest of Ehrlich's best movies of 2016, in the clip above.

14.2 Paul Meijering Metalen is not liable for any damage to, or other impairment of, the Goods to be processed.
14.3 The Buyer must take delivery of the Goods within 7 days after the notification that they are ready, failing which Paul Meijering Metalen shall be entitled to compensation for the loss suffered as a result of later delivery, including, but not limited to, the costs of storage.
If any provision in these General Conditions is void or is revoked by court order, this shall not affect the validity of the other provisions, and Paul Meijering is entitled to replace the provision in question with a provision that is as close as possible in scope without being void or capable of being revoked.
16.1 Contracts between the parties are governed by Dutch law.
16.2 All disputes relating to and/or arising from any Contract will be settled by the Court of Oost-Brabant, unless Paul Meijering Metalen brings the dispute before another court with jurisdiction under the competency rules.


Schwab's breakout earlier this week appeared to warrant a quick advance to resistance at $23.16. However, there was a hiccup in this move, as the market corrected yesterday. The good news is that the decline on Wednesday was accompanied by volume that was 2.5 million shares less than the volume that accompanied Monday's advance. This means that there is far more interest in buying SCH on up days than selling the stock on down days. If this pattern continues, the OBV and Money Flow should both improve and these technical indicators could ultimately confirm that SCH is on its way to establishing a sustainable rally. A positive day tomorrow would likely cause the MACD to issue a buy signal, which would lend more credence to the extended rally theory. Momentum traders should be looking to buy SCH tomorrow if the stock can trade above the $21.59 resistance accompanied by midday volume exceeding 300,000 shares.


Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add fennel and leeks and cook for 3 minutes more. Add salt and pepper, 1 cup water, tomatoes, wine and saffron and simmer for 5 minutes.
Push vegetables to the side, arrange fillets in the skillet, and then cover with vegetables. Cover skillet and simmer over low heat until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve fish with vegetables and broth spooned over the top.

The 2012 TCP Code requires a telco to have a compliant Complaint Handling Process and a document that summarises that process. There are special requirements for the Summary, too.
At the Compliance Shop, we're offering a template Summary that you can tweak a little if necessary and post to your website.
ACMA made it clear from the start that complaint handling compliance was a not negotiable issue, and that its enforcement efforts would rapidly be directed to that area. The Authority made good on that promise, with a compliance drive that began in December 2012 and has continued into 2013.
Service Provider websites are being inspected to detect whether a Complaint Handling Process is present and compliant with the 2012 Telecommunications Consumer Protections Code. If there's a problem, the telco receives a letter that not only calls for compliance but asks probing questions about recent complaints performance.
Publishing a compliant Complaint Handling Process summary isn't a complete compliance solution. You need to 'live it out' as well. But if you want to minimise the amount of ACMA attention you get, at least having the right documents on your website is a smart idea.
