Mountainside Lutheran Church is a Lutheran Church based in Auckland, New Zealand. It was commemorated on May 27, 2000 replacing a smaller Our Saviour Lutheran Church and also merging with another Auckland based sister Lutheran congregation, St Johns Lutheran Church (Mt Eden, Auckland) to form one single congregation for the whole of Auckland. Its origins date back as far as 1907. It currently has a congregation of approximately 150 members.
Mountainside Lutheran Church is a community of people of a journey. It has gone through significant changes in the last few years, all in hope of more effectively fulfilling its mission, which is:
A diverse caring community reaching out with the awesome power of God's Word and Spirit that all may know and celebrate Jesus' love and hope. |
Action Zone Wrestling (AZW) is a professional wrestling promotion based in Hawaii that was started in May 2005. AZW quickly became a popular wrestling promotion in Hawaii. Wanting not to be confused with other promotions in Hawaii which have failed or struggled AZW developed new wrestlers (Johnny Kealoha, Mark Anarchy, Pure Luck, The Rage, Jet Akuma and Cheap Heat) and mixed them in with veterans of the Hawaii indy scene ("Hotstuff" Kris Kavanaugh, DDB, AkuA, "Rock Hard" Rocko Shinoda, "The Rocker" Don Lee). It's currently the only promotion in Hawaii with a weekly televison show.
"The Rocker" Don Lee, who retired in January 2006 due to a neck injury, became the first AZW Commissioner on March 13, 2006. AZW recently celebrated their one year anniversary with back to back shows on May 31st and June 1st, 2006.
AZW made history when they signed the first-ever meeting between James Gibson and AJ Styles.
On October 5th, 2006, AZW held it's event called "Anything Goes". The event featured matches picked by the fans, which is much akin to World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW Brand ppv Taboo Tuesday (now referred to as Cyber Sunday). It was a legit drawing that saw several interesting match ups. Also on the event was an impromptu "MMA match" in which AZW fan and current Icon Sport middleweight champion Jason "Mayhem" Miller defeated DDB via tapout due to armbar.
Q.921 Protocol Overview
Q.921, also referred to as LAPD (Link Access Protocol - D Channel) and a close cousin of HDLC, is the Data Link protocol used over ISDN's D channel.
Flag, bit stuffing, and FCS computation are identical to HDLC.
The 16 bits of address contain a command/response (C/R) field, a SAPI (Service Access Point Identifier) and a TEI (Terminal Endpoint Identifier). TEIs are used to distinguish between several different devices using the same ISDN links. TEI 127 is broadcast; other TEI values are dynamically assigned (see below). SAPIs play the role of a protocol or port number, and identify the higher layer protocol being used in the data field. Q.931 messages are sent using SAPI 0, SAPI 16 means X.25, and SAPI 63 is used for TEI assignment procedures. These are usually the only SAPI values used.
Data transfer can occur in one of two formats: Information (I) frames or Unnumbered Information (UI) frames. UI, offering unreliable delivery, is the simplest of the two, since no sequence numbering, acknowledgements, or retransmissions are involved. I frames are numbered modulo 128; the frame number is included in the N(S) field. Acknowledgements are sent using the N(R) field, either piggybacked onto an I frame in the reverse direction, or sent explicitly in an RR or RNR frame. RR indicates that the receiver is ready for more data, RNR indicates a busy condition and places the circuit on hold awaiting a future RR. REJ is a negative acknowledgement, requesting retransmission beginning with frame N(R).
Before I frames can be transferred, a SABME command initializes the sequence numbers to all zeros. The DISC command terminates multi frame operation. Both SABME and DISC are acknowledged with a UA.
Protocol errors (undefined control field; incorrect length frame; invalid acknowledgement; etc) are reported by sending a FRMR with the initial fields of the erroneous frame.
TEI Management
Before any higher level (Q.931) functions can be performed, each ISDN device must be assigned at least one unique TEI value. These numbers can be preassigned (TEIs 0-63), or dynamically assigned (TEIs 64-126). Most TEI assignment is done dynamically, using the TEI management protocol. The user broadcasts an Identity request and the network responds with an Identity assigned containing the TEI value. Functions are also provided to verify and release TEI assignments.
All TEI management functions are performed using TEI 127 (broadcast), SAPI 63, and the following 5-byte UI frame:
The reference number is a randomly generated 16 bit value (0-65535) used to distinguish between different ISDN devices that might simultaneously request TEI assignment.
The possible message types are:
